Tx:14.26  only this belief that the unknowing have, and by it they are wrong  about themselves. They have defined themselves as they were not
Tx:14.49  wiser or more productive and valuable than others. And this is true  about the thoughts which cross the mind of those who think they live
Tx:15.25 There is no doubt  about what your function is, for the Holy Spirit knows what it is.
Tx:15.25  function is, for the Holy Spirit knows what it is. There is no doubt  about its magnitude, for it reaches you through Him from Magnitude.

Tx:16.2  increase itself by sharing what is like itself.] Make no mistake  about this maneuver; the ego always empathizes to weaken, and to
Tx:16.6  This is not knowledge, and the form of empathy that would bring this  about is so distorted that it would imprison what it would release.
Tx:16.11 There is a tendency to fragment and then to be concerned  about the truth of just a little part of the whole. And this is but a
Tx:16.12  they do not remember what is natural to them. And when you are told  about it, you cannot understand it. The recognition of the part as
Tx:17.16  these relationships have as their purpose the exclusion of the truth  about the other and of yourself. This is why you see in both what is
Tx:17.23  not and as it is not. Give the past to Him Who can change your mind  about it for you. But first be sure you fully realize what you have
Tx:17.30  enabled it to be healed. This blessing holds within itself the truth  about everything. And the truth is that the Holy Spirit is in close
Tx:17.43  of the holy instant in living in this world. Like everything  about salvation, the holy instant is a practical device, witnessed to
Tx:17.47  a radical shift in purpose could induce a complete change of mind  about what the whole relationship is for. As this change develops and
Tx:17.66  it is their intrusion on the relationship, an error in your thoughts  about the situation, which then becomes the justification for your
Tx:18.9  ground in which no substitution can enter and where only the truth  about each other can abide. Here you are joined in God, as much
Tx:18.43  Yet it is possible because God wills it. Nor will He change His Mind  about it. The means and purpose both belong to Him. You have accepted
Tx:18.91  you, assuring you that it is all there. Figures stand out and move  about, actions seem real, and forms appear and shift from loveliness
Tx:19.77  it was offered you, and you accepted. Yet you must learn still more  about this strange devotion, for it contains the third of the
Tx:20.10  The Holy Spirit's vision is no idle gift, no plaything to be tossed  about a while and laid aside. Listen and hear this carefully, nor
Tx:20.58 We have said much  about discrepancies of means and end and how these must be brought in

Tx:20.65  no illusion. Attempt to see him not in darkness, for your imaginings  about him will seem real there. You closed your eyes to shut him out.
Tx:20.73  you made it up? What if you realized that those who seem to walk  about in it, to sin and die, attack and murder and destroy
Tx:21.1  seek not to change the world, but will to change your mind  about the world. Perception is a result, not a cause. And that is why
Tx:21.6  world by their adjustments to it. They think they know their way  about in it. They learned it, not through joyous lessons, but through

Tx:21.59  the belief. For uncorrected error of any kind deceives you  about the power that is in you to make correction. If it can correct
Tx:22.10  him, and they with him. And the strange, shifting ones he sees  about him will become to him his comforters, and he will recognize
Tx:22.47  Only uncertainty can be defensive. And all uncertainty is doubt  about yourself.
Tx:22.50 Forget not, when you feel the need arise to be defensive  about anything, you have identified yourself with an illusion. And
Tx:22.60  more powerful than you. Let us look straight at how this error came  about, for here lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to keep the
Tx:23.5  For who can know his glory and perceive the little and the weak  about him? Who can walk trembling in a fearful world and realize that
Tx:23.13  know when you have learned you cannot be in conflict. One illusion  about yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two illusions
Tx:23.24  believing it. It is not seen as even necessary that He be asked  about the truth of what has been established for His belief. His Son
Tx:24.17  defense against himself will vanish as his mind accepts the truth  about himself as it returns to take their place. This is the only
Tx:24.28  and overblown it seems to be, it still must rock and turn and whirl  about with every breeze.
Tx:24.48  must be doubt before there can be conflict. And every doubt must be  about yourself. Christ has no doubt, and from His certainty His quiet
Tx:24.49  this is so lies in your brother, offered you that all your doubts  about yourself may disappear before his holiness. See in him God's
Tx:24.51  the world began and as He knows you still. God changes not His Mind  about His Son with passing circumstance, which has no meaning in
Tx:24.55  set forever in your brother's holiness that you might see the truth  about yourself set forth at last in terms you recognized and
Tx:26.37  is there to hear where he is now? And how much can his own delusions  about time and place affect a change in where he really is? The
Tx:26.58  a treasure? Can uncertainty be what you want? Or is it a mistake  about your will and what you really are? Let us consider what the
Tx:27.7  body seeks to show how lovely are the witnesses for guilt. Concerns  about the body demonstrate how frail and vulnerable is your life, how
Tx:27.22  your function with the function of Another, you must be confused  about yourself and who you are. What is the separation but a wish to
Tx:27.68  in any way request them for yourself. This is how all illusions come  about. The one who makes them does not see himself as making them,
Tx:27.71  between a tiny you and an enormous world, with different dreams  about the truth in you. The gap between reality and dreams lies not
Tx:27.75  in your dreams on his mistakes. Select his thoughtfulness to dream  about instead of counting up the hurts he gave. Forgive him his
Tx:27.78  and collect more senseless things that it can call its own. It looks  about for special bodies which can share its dream. Sometimes it
Tx:28.6  the other attributes with which you seek to keep concealed the truth  about yourself. Time neither takes away nor can restore. And yet you
Tx:28.17  which are as limitless as is itself. Yet must all healing come  about because the mind is recognized as not within the body, and its
Tx:28.25  dream; the world is neutral, and the bodies which still seem to move  about as separate things need not be feared. And so they are not sick.
Tx:29.10  until you understand there is no loss, you will have some regrets  about the way that you have chosen. And you will not see the many
Tx:29.44  this cannot be so. And therefore by his coming, he denies the truth  about himself and seeks for something more than everything, as if a
Tx:29.44  him what would make himself complete. And thus he wanders aimlessly  about in search of something that he cannot find, believing that he
Tx:29.46  the body's betterment is cast as major beneficiary, you try to bring  about your death. For you believe that you can suffer lack, and lack
Tx:29.64  pretend they rule the world and give their toys the power to move  about and talk and think and feel and speak for them. Yet everything
Tx:30.2  dedication weak, you are not ready. Do not fight yourself. But think  about the kind of day you want and tell yourself there is a way in
Tx:30.24 Now you have changed your mind  about the day and have remembered what you really want. Its purpose
Tx:30.52  His laws which guarantee your safety. All illusions that you believe  about yourself obey no laws. They seem to dance a little while,
Tx:30.54  you will understand that mighty changes have been quickly brought  about when you decide one very simple thing—you do not want
Tx:30.75  appearances are real and not appearances at all. Be not deceived  about the meaning of a fixed belief that some appearances are harder
Tx:30.76  And so there cannot be appearances which have replaced the truth  about God's Son.
Tx:30.78  There is no way to think of him but this if you would know the truth  about yourself:
Tx:30.81  image and a sign of death. Is this your savior? Is his Father wrong  about His Son? Or have you been deceived in him who has been given
Tx:30.90  views of him which you perceive as his reality. The happy dream  about him takes the form of the appearance of his perfect health, his
Tx:30.93  Is it this that you would look upon? Then let there be no dreams  about him which you would prefer to seeing this. And you will see the
Tx:31.19  is what I am asking for. And what I learn of him is what I learn  about myself.
Tx:31.21  not ancient thoughts. Forget the dismal lessons that you learned  about this Son of God who calls to you. Christ calls to all with
Tx:31.23  appearances, which are but ancient lessons that you taught yourself  about the sinfulness in you. Hear but his call for mercy and release
Tx:31.54 There are alternatives  about the thing that you must be. You might for instance be the thing
Tx:31.56  that everything it thinks reflects the deep confusion that it feels  about how it was made and what it is. And vaguely does the concept of
Tx:31.65  matters not where you believe you are nor what you think the truth  about yourself must really be. It makes no difference what you look
Tx:31.69  You cannot give yourself your innocence, for you are too confused  about yourself. But should one brother dawn upon your sight as wholly
W1:3.2  appear to you now, and to realize how little you really understand  about them. It is therefore essential that you keep a perfectly open
W1:4.1  begin with noting the thoughts that are crossing your mind for  about a minute. Then apply the idea to them. If you are already aware
W1:4.4 This thought  about _____ does not mean anything. It is like the things I see in
W1:5.11  I am not worried  about ____ for the reason I think. I am not depressed about ____ for
W1:5.11  am not worried about ____ for the reason I think. I am not depressed  about ____ for the reason I think.
W1:6.2  at ____ because I see something that is not there. I am worried  about ____ because I see something that is not there.
W1:7.8 Old ideas  about time are very difficult to change because everything you
W1:7.8  is rooted in time and depends on your not learning these new ideas  about it. Yet that is precisely why you need new ideas about time.
W1:7.8  new ideas about it. Yet that is precisely why you need new ideas  about time. This first time idea is not really so strange as it may
W1:7.9  or not this kind of cup will break if you drop it? What do you know  about this cup except what you learned in the past? You would have no
W1:7.10 Look  about you. This is equally true of whatever you look at. Acknowledge
W1:8.1  preoccupation with the past is the cause of the total misconception  about time from which your seeing suffers. Your mind cannot grasp the
W1:8.2 The only wholly true thought one can hold  about the past is that it is not here. To think about it at all is
W1:8.2  thought one can hold about the past is that it is not here. To think  about it at all is therefore to think about illusions. Very few minds
W1:8.2  that it is not here. To think about it at all is therefore to think  about illusions. Very few minds have realized what is actually
W1:8.2  actually blank when it does this because it is not really thinking  about anything.
W1:8.5 I seem to be thinking  about _____.
W1:8.7 I seem to be thinking  about [name of person], about [name of object], about [name of
W1:8.7 I seem to be thinking about [name of person],  about [name of object], about [name of emotion];
W1:8.7 I seem to be thinking about [name of person], about [name of object],  about [name of emotion];
W1:9.3  which three or four practice periods are sufficient, involve looking  about you and applying the idea for the day to whatever you see,
W1:10.7 This thought  about _____ does not mean anything. That thought about _____ does not
W1:10.7 This thought about _____ does not mean anything. That thought  about _____ does not mean anything.
W1:11.2  and repeat the idea slowly to yourself. Then open your eyes and look  about, near or far, up or down—anywhere. During the minute or so to
W1:12.3 As you look  about you, say to yourself:
W1:13.4 The exercises for today, which should be done  about three or four times for not more than a minute or so at most
W1:13.4  repeat today's idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and look  about you slowly, saying:
W1:13.6 Repeat this statement to yourself as you look  about. Then close your eyes and conclude with:
W1:14.6  include anything you are afraid might happen to you or to anyone  about whom you are concerned. In each case, name the “disaster” quite
W1:16.3  fear thoughts as unimportant, trivial, and not worth bothering  about that it is essential you recognize them all as equally
W1:16.6 This thought  about _____ is not a neutral thought. That thought about _____ is not
W1:16.6 This thought about _____ is not a neutral thought. That thought  about _____ is not a neutral thought.
W1:16.8 This thought  about _____ is not a neutral thought, because I have no neutral
W1:17.4 Then look  about you, resting your glance on each thing that catches your eye
W1:17.5 I do not see a neutral _____, because my thoughts  about _____ are not neutral.
W1:17.7 I do not see a neutral wall, because my thoughts  about walls are not neutral. I do not see a neutral body, because my
W1:17.7  are not neutral. I do not see a neutral body, because my thoughts  about bodies are not neutral.
W1:19.4 I am not alone in experiencing the effects of this thought  about ___.
W1:20.1 We have been quite casual  about our practice periods thus far. There has been virtually no
W1:22.1  world. Having projected his anger onto the world, he sees vengeance  about to strike at him. His own attack is thus perceived as self
W1:22.3 Look at the world  about you at least five times today, for at least a minute each time.

W1:23.6  practice periods are required in applying today's idea. As you look  about you, repeat the idea slowly to yourself and then close your
W1:23.6  the idea slowly to yourself and then close your eyes and devote  about a minute to searching your mind for as many attack thoughts as
W1:23.7 I can escape from the world by giving up attack thoughts  about _____.
W1:24.4  by searching the mind with closed eyes for unresolved situations  about which you are currently concerned. The emphasis should be on
W1:25.6  with a slow repetition of the idea for today followed by looking  about you and letting your glance rest on whatever happens to catch
W1:26.8 I am concerned  about ______.
W1:27.1  It gives vision priority among your desires. You may feel hesitant  about using the idea on the ground that you are not sure you really
W1:27.2  when you say you want to see above all else. If you become uneasy  about the lack of reservation involved, add:
W1:28.2  And what does “in itself” mean? You see a lot of separate things  about you, which really means you are not seeing at all. You either
W1:28.3  you are making a commitment to withdraw your preconceived ideas  about the table and open your mind to what it is and what it is for.
W1:28.5  value, full of happiness and hope. Hidden under all your ideas  about it is its real purpose, the purpose it shares with all the
W1:28.7  day is stated first and then applied to whatever you see in looking  about you. Not only should the subjects be chosen randomly, but each
W1:29.4  the idea to yourself, and then apply it to randomly chosen subjects  about you, naming each one specifically. Try to avoid the tendency
W1:29.7  repeat the idea for today at least once an hour, looking slowly  about you as you say the words unhurriedly to yourself. At least once
W1:30.3  you have a moment or so, repeat it to yourself slowly, looking  about you and trying to realize that the idea applies to everything
W1:31.2  minutes for each of them are recommended. During that time, look  about you slowly while repeating the idea two or three times. Then
W1:34.3  situations, “offending” personalities or events, or anything else  about which you are harboring unloving thoughts. Note them all
W1:34.8  replace my feelings of depression, anxiety or worry [or my thoughts  about this situation, personality, or event] with peace.
W1:35.5  your mind. Try to recognize that the direction of your fantasies  about yourself does not matter. Illusions have no direction in
W1:36.3  several times slowly. Then open your eyes and look quite slowly  about you, applying the idea specifically to whatever you note in
W1:36.6  shorter exercise periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea; look  about you as you repeat it again; and conclude with one more
W1:37.4  of the idea for today followed by a minute or so of looking  about you as you apply the idea to whatever you see:
W1:39.3  already said that your holiness is the salvation of the world. What  about your own salvation? You cannot give what you do not have. A
W1:39.9 My unloving thoughts  about _____ are keeping me in hell. My holiness is my salvation.
W1:41.8  what the words mean. Concentrate on the holiness which they imply  about you; on the unfailing companionship which is yours; on the
W1:42.4  by repeating the idea for today slowly with eyes open, looking  about you. Then close your eyes and repeat the idea again, quite
W1:42.7  open your eyes and repeat the thought once more while looking slowly  about; close your eyes, repeat the idea once more, and then continue
W1:50.3  from the belief in idols. It is your acknowledgment of the truth  about yourself.
W1:50.4  idea for today sink deep into your consciousness. Repeat it, think  about it, let related thoughts come to help you recognize its truth,
W1:R1.2  once. Devote two minutes or more to each practice period, thinking  about the idea and the related comments. Do this as often as possible
W1:R1.3  periods. Rather, try merely to emphasize the central point and think  about it as part of your review of the idea to which it relates.
W1:52.3 [7] I see only the past. As I look  about, I condemn the world I look upon. I call this seeing. I hold
W1:55.6  for. To me, the purpose of everything is to prove that my illusions  about myself are real. It is for that purpose that I attempt to use
W1:55.6  by withdrawing the one I have given it, and learning the truth  about it.
W1:57.6  back at me. In this light, I begin to see what my illusions  about myself had kept hidden. I begin to understand the holiness of
W1:58.2  see myself as guilty. I can accept the innocence that is the truth  about me. Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of the world
W1:58.2  the world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold  about myself.
W1:58.4  from except illusions? And what are all illusions except false ideas  about myself? My holiness undoes them all by asserting the truth
W1:58.4  about myself? My holiness undoes them all by asserting the truth  about me. In the presence of my holiness, which I share with God
W1:59.2  love and joy surround me through Him? Let me not cherish illusions  about myself. I am perfect because God goes with me wherever I go.
W1:61.1  except God's Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the truth  about yourself. It is the opposite of a statement of pride, of
W1:61.4 You will want to think  about this idea as often as possible today. It is the perfect answer
W1:61.4  therefore to all temptation. It brings all the images you have made  about yourself to the truth and helps you depart in peace, unburdened
W1:61.7 Then think  about these statements for a short while, preferably with your eyes
W1:61.8  period. Thus you will awaken with an acknowledgment of the truth  about yourself, reinforce it throughout the day, and turn to sleep as
W1:62.1  are the light of the world. Through your forgiveness does the truth  about yourself return to your memory. Therefore in your forgiveness
W1:62.2 Illusions  about yourself and the world are one. That is why all forgiveness is
W1:64.10  several minutes to reviewing these thoughts and then to thinking  about them and about nothing else. This will be difficult at first
W1:64.10  to reviewing these thoughts and then to thinking about them and  about nothing else. This will be difficult at first particularly,
W1:64.11  open after reviewing the thoughts and look slowly and unselectively  about you, telling yourself:
W1:65.14  your eyes as you practice, and sometimes keep them open and look  about you. It is what you see now that will be totally changed when
W1:66.2  your function is. So does it do constant battle with the Holy Spirit  about what your happiness is. It is not a two-way battle. The ego
W1:66.3  to go past this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the truth  about your function. We will not engage in ceaseless arguments about
W1:66.3  truth about your function. We will not engage in ceaseless arguments  about what it is. We will not become hopelessly involved in defining
W1:66.7  are wrong that the conclusion could be false. Let us, then, think  about the premises for a while, as we are practicing.
W1:66.11 Think  about this during the longer practice period today. Think also about
W1:66.11 Think about this during the longer practice period today. Think also  about the many forms which the illusion of your function has taken in
W1:66.12  to madness or hear the truth. Try to make this choice as you think  about the premises on which our conclusion rests. We can share in
W1:66.16  a minute, and probably less, to repeat these words slowly and think  about them a little while you say them.
W1:67.2 We will make every effort today to reach this truth  about you and to realize fully, if only for a moment, that it is the
W1:67.2  that it is the truth. In the longer practice period, we will think  about your reality and its wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature.
W1:67.2  and unchangeable nature. We will begin by repeating this truth  about you and then spend a few minutes adding some relevant thoughts,
W1:67.5  and then try to reach past all your images and preconceptions  about yourself to the truth in you. If Love created you like Itself,
W1:67.6  that you need to continue adding other thoughts related to the truth  about yourself. Yet perhaps you will succeed in going past that and
W1:67.7  the idea for today as often as you can. You need to hear the truth  about yourself as frequently as possible because your mind is so
W1:67.7  to remind yourself that Love created you like Itself. Hear the truth  about yourself in this.
W1:67.8  is the Voice of truth replacing everything that the ego tells you  about yourself with the simple truth about the Son of God. You were
W1:67.8  that the ego tells you about yourself with the simple truth  about the Son of God. You were created by Love like Itself.
W1:69.2  extended practice period, let us devote several minutes in thinking  about what we are trying to do. We are literally attempting to get in
W1:69.6 After you have thought  about the importance of what you are trying to do for yourself and
W1:71.7  God's plan for salvation will work. There can be no real conflict  about this, because there is no possible alternative to God's plan
W1:71.9 Begin the two longer practice periods for today by thinking  about today's idea, and realizing that it contains two parts, each
W1:74.9  difficult to resolve, single it out for special consideration. Think  about it briefly but very specifically, identify the particular
W1:74.10 There is no will but God's. I share it with Him. My conflicts  about _____ cannot be real.
W1:76.11  you thought you saw. Then listen further. He will tell you more.  About the love your Father has for you. About the endless joy He
W1:76.11  He will tell you more. About the love your Father has for you.  About the endless joy He offers you. About His yearning for His only
W1:76.11  love your Father has for you. About the endless joy He offers you.  About His yearning for His only Son, created as His channel for
W1:77.2 Your claim to miracles does not lie in your illusions  about yourself. It does not depend on any magical powers you have
W1:79.3  yourselves now. You have the answer, but you are still uncertain  about what the problem is. A long series of different problems seems
W1:79.8  is not necessary. All that is necessary is to entertain some doubt  about the reality of our version of what our problems are. We are
W1:79.12 Then try to suspend all judgment  about what the problem is. If possible, close your eyes for a moment
W1:80.8  do not exist. The means is simple honesty. Do not deceive yourself  about what the problem is, and you must recognize it has been solved.
W1:R2.2 The longer practice periods will follow this general form: take  about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking about the
W1:R2.2  form: take about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking  about the idea and the comments which are included in the
W1:R2.2  idea and the comments which are included in the assignments. Devote  about three or four minutes to reading them over slowly, several
W1:86.2  for salvation will work. It is senseless for me to search wildly  about for salvation. I have seen it in many people and in many
W1:86.2  things, but when I reached for it, it was not there. I was mistaken  about where it is. I was mistaken about what it is. I will undertake
W1:86.2  it was not there. I was mistaken about where it is. I was mistaken  about what it is. I will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's
W1:87.2  I will use the power of my will today. It is not my will to grope  about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and
W1:91.5 Three times today, set aside  about ten minutes for a quiet time in which you try to leave your
W1:91.10  and then devote several minutes to allowing your mistaken thoughts  about your attributes to be corrected, and their opposites to take
W1:91.12  second phase of the exercise period, try to experience these truths  about yourself. Concentrate particularly on the experience of
W1:92.3  It is your weakness that sees through the body's eyes, peering  about in darkness to behold the likeness of itself—the small, the
W1:92.5 Strength is the truth  about you; weakness is an idol falsely worshiped and adored that
W1:93.1  of evil, darkness, and sin. You think if anyone could see the truth  about you he would be repelled, recoiling from you as if from a
W1:93.1  from you as if from a poisonous snake. You think if what is true  about you were revealed to you, you would be struck with horror so
W1:93.7  you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth  about you is unchanged. Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your
W1:93.8  minutes of every waking hour, we will begin by stating the truth  about our creation:
W1:93.14  your eyes and realizing that this is a statement of the truth  about you.
W1:95.5  you are reminded of your purpose frequently, you tend to forget  about it for long periods of time. You often fail to remember the
W1:95.17  and let the light in you come through to teach the world the truth  about itself. You are One Self, in perfect harmony with all there is
W1:96.10 Wait patiently, and let Him speak to you  about your Self, and what your mind can do, restored to it and free
W1:97.2 We state again the truth  about your Self, the holy Son of God who rests in you whose mind has
W1:R3.4  whatever reason should be done as soon as you have changed your mind  about your goal. You are unwilling to cooperate in practicing
W1:R3.5  are written first in each day's exercise. And then begin to think  about them while letting your mind relate them to your needs, your
W1:121.2  and release from pain. It suffers and abides in misery, peering  about in darkness, seeing not, yet certain of the danger lurking
W1:121.3 The unforgiving mind is torn with doubt, confused  about itself and all it sees, afraid and angry, weak and blustering,
W1:125.5  while from Him. He does not cherish the illusions which you hold  about yourself. He knows His Son and wills that he remain as part of

Tx:9.84  For if you see him anywhere, you have accepted him. And if you  accept him, you will bow down and worship him because he was made as

Tx:10.84  reality, for by denying that his mind is split, you will heal yours.  Accept him as his Father accepts him and heal him unto Christ, for
Tx:10.85  the Help of God goes with you everywhere. As you become willing to  accept this Help by asking for it, you will give it because you want
Tx:10.86 Do not  accept your brother's variable perception of himself, for his split
Tx:10.86  perception of himself, for his split mind is yours, and you will not  accept your healing without his. For you share the real world as you
Tx:10.87  through His guidance, for He would save you from all condemnation.  Accept His healing power and use it for all He sends you, for He
Tx:10.90  is impossible. When you perceive yourself without deceit, you will  accept the real world in place of the false one you have made. And

Tx:11.89  be remembered only in peace. Love and guilt cannot coexist, and to  accept one is to deny the other. Guilt hides Christ from your sight,
Tx:12.15 You can  accept insanity because you made it, but you cannot accept love
Tx:12.15 You can accept insanity because you made it, but you cannot  accept love because you did not. You would rather be slaves of the

Tx:12.31  His interpretation of the means of salvation which you must learn to  accept if you would share His goal of salvation for you.
Tx:12.32  will interpret the function of time as you interpret yours. If you  accept your function in the world of time as healing, you will
Tx:12.41  that you cannot see. But this is what denial does, for by it you  accept insanity, believing you can make a private world and rule your
Tx:12.51  choosing to remain in the darkness that is not there and refusing to  accept the light that is offered you. For the light of perfect vision
Tx:12.56  you willingly, and willingness is signified by giving. Those who  accept love of you become your willing witnesses to the love you gave
Tx:13.13  see, because your faith will be rewarded as you gave it. You will  accept your treasure, and if you place your faith in the past, the
Tx:13.16  own guilt. If you would have the Holy Spirit make you free of it,  accept His offer of Atonement for all your brothers. For so you learn
Tx:13.27  without reason, you will not fear to look upon the Atonement and  accept it wholly.
Tx:13.62  light which shines away the shapes and forms and fears of nothing.  Accept this key to freedom from the hands of Christ Who gives it to
Tx:13.67  to my acceptance of the Atonement, not for its rejection. I would  accept my guiltlessness by making it manifest and sharing it. Let me
Tx:13.72  with this oneness only when you learn to deny the causeless and  accept the Cause of God as yours. The power that God has given to His
Tx:13.73  a constellation larger than anything you ever dreamed of. Those who  accept the Atonement are invulnerable. But those who believe they are
Tx:13.75  of the gift of God. Ask it not therefore of yourselves. Instead,  accept His answer, for He knows that you are worthy of everything God
Tx:13.86 When you  accept a brother's guiltlessness, you will see the Atonement in him.
Tx:14.1  you know Him. Therefore, you must be guiltless. Yet if you do not  accept the necessary conditions for knowing Him, you have denied Him
Tx:14.5  known? You yearn for Him, as He for you. This is forever changeless.  Accept, then, the immutable. Leave the world of death behind, and
Tx:14.15  there. Judge not except in quietness which is not of you. Refuse to  accept anyone as without the blessing of Atonement, and bring him
Tx:14.31  brightness so intense you could not wish for all the world not to  accept what God would have you have. Behold your will, accepting it
Tx:14.46  of creation must continue forever. The reflections which you  accept into the mirror of your minds in time but bring eternity
Tx:14.62  Every dark lesson that you bring to Him Who teaches light He will  accept from you because you do not want it. And He will gladly
Tx:14.63  with which the Holy Spirit will replace the dark ones you do not  accept and hide, teaches you that you will with the Father unto His
Tx:14.68  lessons from Him. And by so limiting the guidance that you would  accept, you are unable to depend on miracles to answer all your
Tx:14.70  from the past would teach you are free of it. He would but have you  accept His accomplishments as yours because he did them for you. And
Tx:15.23  is much too poor a gift to satisfy you. It is essential that you  accept the fact, and accept it gladly, that there is no form of
Tx:15.23  a gift to satisfy you. It is essential that you accept the fact, and  accept it gladly, that there is no form of littleness that can ever
Tx:15.28  of magnitude that can content them. Neither give littleness, nor  accept it. All honor is due the host of God. Your littleness deceives
Tx:15.30  vain? It is not sacrifice to wake to glory. But it is a sacrifice to  accept anything less than glory. Learn that you must be worthy of the
Tx:15.32  forever with Itself. You will be content with nothing but His Will.  Accept no less, remembering that everything I learned is yours. What
Tx:15.32  is yours. What my Father loves, I love as He does, and I can no more  accept it as what it is not than He can. And no more can you. When
Tx:15.32  it is not than He can. And no more can you. When you have learned to  accept what you are, you will make no more gifts to offer to
Tx:15.32  you will know you are complete, in need of nothing, and unable to  accept anything for yourself. But you will gladly give, having
Tx:15.39  would have me. And the extent to which you learn to be willing to  accept me is the measure of the time in which the holy instant will
Tx:15.40  communication. It therefore seeks to change nothing, but merely to  accept everything.
Tx:15.43  if there were no need for Atonement. You will not be able to  accept perfect communication as long as you would hide it from
Tx:15.56  have while guilt remains. And there will be guilt as long as you  accept the possibility, and cherish it, that you can make a brother
Tx:15.57 You have so little faith in yourself because you are unwilling to  accept the fact that perfect love is in you. And so you seek without
Tx:15.59  faith in Him is strengthened by sharing. What you find difficult to  accept is the fact that, like your Father, you are an idea. And like
Tx:15.71  this sacrifice, which he demanded of himself, he demands the other  accept the guilt and sacrifice himself as well. Forgiveness becomes
Tx:15.73  ego would “bless” all unions. And those who are united at its altar  accept suffering and sacrifice as the price of union. In their angry
Tx:15.81  love. He will not fail you, for He comes from One Who cannot fail.  Accept your sense of failure as nothing more than a mistake in who
Tx:15.84  know and what you do not understand. It is His holy function to  accept them both, and by removing every element of disagreement, to
Tx:15.87  it is necessary to give up every use the ego has for the body and to  accept the fact that the ego has no purpose you would share with it.
Tx:15.92  and let me celebrate your birth through Him. The only gift I can  accept of you is the gift I gave to you. Release me as I will your
Tx:15.94 We who are one cannot give separately. When you are willing to  accept our relationship as real, guilt will hold no attraction for
Tx:15.94  guilt will hold no attraction for you. For in our union, you will  accept all of our brothers. The gift of union is the only gift that I
Tx:15.96 You see no other alternatives, for you cannot  accept the fact that sacrifice gets nothing. Sacrifice is so
Tx:15.96  you must look upon—sacrifice is attack, not love. If you would  accept but this one idea, your fear of love would vanish. Guilt
Tx:15.99  the demand of sacrifice is so savage and so fearful that you cannot  accept it where it is. But the real price of not accepting this has
Tx:15.102  See it not outside yourself but shining in the Heaven within and  accept it as the sign the time of Christ has come. He comes demanding
Tx:15.112  joy and freedom. There is much to do, and we have been long delayed.  Accept the holy instant as this year is born and take your place, so
Tx:16.5  not him. Humility is strength in this sense only—to recognize and  accept the fact that you do not know is to recognize and accept the
Tx:16.5  and accept the fact that you do not know is to recognize and  accept the fact that He does know. You are not sure that He will do
Tx:16.14  what has happened you do not understand but that you are willing to  accept it because it has happened.
Tx:16.18  in the disaster you have made. Today let us resolve together to  accept the joyful tidings that disaster is not real and that reality
Tx:16.19  kind to everyone and everything. There is no greater love than to  accept this and be glad. For love asks only that you be happy and
Tx:16.21 You have taught well, and yet you have not learned how to  accept the comfort of your teaching. If you will consider what you
Tx:16.24  And it is this that you have taken in that is not you. What you  accept into your minds does not really change them. Illusions are but
Tx:16.38  illusions. In any relationship in which you are wholly willing to  accept completion, and only this, there is God completed and His Son
Tx:16.39  rests wholly compatible with His. Every illusion which you  accept into your mind by judging it to be attainable removes your own
Tx:16.47  be no disagreement on this, because both the ego and the Holy Spirit  accept it. They are, however, in complete disagreement on what
Tx:16.80  Him and to His majesty. To join in close relationship with Him is to  accept relationships as real and through their reality to give over
Tx:16.81 Forgive us our illusions, Father, and help us to  accept our true relationship with You in which there are no illusions
Tx:16.81  is not Your will. And let us receive only what you have given and  accept but this into the minds which You created and which You love.
Tx:17.36  your own acceptance of the gift of death. When you who are truth  accept an idea so dangerous to truth, you threaten truth with
Tx:17.37  you from Heaven. It is a picture, too, set in a frame. Yet if you  accept this gift, you will not see the frame at all because the gift
Tx:17.39  picture into the wrong frame and so combine what cannot be combined,  accept this and be glad: these pictures are each framed perfectly for
Tx:17.48  are being introduced. If you believed the Holy Spirit was there to  accept the relationship, why would you now not still believe that He
Tx:17.50  Accept with gladness what you do not understand, and let it be
Tx:17.56  gladness of the Sonship that it is so. As you begin to recognize and  accept the gifts you have so freely given to each other, you will
Tx:17.56  the gifts you have so freely given to each other, you will also  accept the effects of the holy instant and use them to correct all
Tx:17.68  interferes not with the goal, but with the value of the goal to you.  Accept not the illusion of peace it offers, but look upon its
Tx:18.1 To substitute is to  accept instead. If you would but consider exactly what this entails,
Tx:18.10  so firmly joined in truth that only God is there. And He would never  accept something else instead of you. He loves you both, equally and
Tx:18.10  with you, my brothers. Let us join in Him in peace and gratitude and  accept His gift as our most holy and perfect reality, which we share
Tx:18.13  and uniting comfort. This is offered you in your holy relationship.  Accept it here, and you will give as you have accepted. The peace of
Tx:18.17  blot out reality are very fearful, but this you are not willing to  accept. And so you substitute the fantasy that reality is fearful,
Tx:18.39  there must be more that you need do. [You find it difficult to  accept the idea that you need give so little to receive so much.] And
Tx:18.66 It is impossible to  accept the holy instant without reservation unless just for an
Tx:18.77 Do not  accept this little fenced-off aspect as yourself. The sun and ocean
Tx:19.30  belief that your perception is unchangeable and that the mind must  accept as true what it is told through it. If it does not obey, the
Tx:19.39  His Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And the Father will  accept them in His Name. What need is there of seeing in the presence
Tx:19.68  is but to give the Holy Spirit the whole idea of sacrifice. And to  accept the peace He gave instead, without the limits which would hold
Tx:19.69  forever kind, infinite in its patience, and wholly loving. It will  accept you wholly and give you peace. Yet it can unite only with what
Tx:19.98  together will offer you the innocence you need and that you will  accept it for my love and His.
Tx:19.102  the Holy Spirit is in him. Would you hold his sins against him or  accept his gift to you? Is this giver of salvation your friend or

Tx:20.9  thorns. Yet you have asked for and received another sight. Those who  accept the Holy Spirit's purpose as their own share also His vision.
Tx:20.35  would have a plan for your salvation that does not work. Once you  accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there
Tx:20.47 Idols  accept, but never make return. They can be loved, but cannot love.
Tx:20.56  to the body or let himself be given freedom from it. Here he can  accept the holy instant, offered him to replace the unholy one he
Tx:20.59  You recognize you want the goal. Are you not also willing to  accept the means? If you are not, let us admit that you are
Tx:20.74  are gone. And all you need to do is recognize you did this. Once you  accept this simple fact and take unto yourself the power you gave
Tx:20.77  in dancing brooks that never waste away, who need persuade you to  accept the gift of vision? And after vision, who is there who could
Tx:21.2  you how much joy you have allowed yourself to see in you and to  accept as yours. And if this is its meaning, then the power to give
Tx:21.11  of it within and joined to all as surely as all is joined in you.  Accept the vision which can show you this and not the body. You know
Tx:21.18  this, the power of your wanting must first be recognized. You must  accept its strength and not its weakness. You must perceive that what
Tx:21.18  that what is strong enough to make a world can let it go and can  accept correction if it is willing to see that it was wrong.
Tx:21.30 If you  accept this change, you have accepted the idea of making room for
Tx:21.55  it. And all of it will come with any part. Here is the part you can  accept. What reason points to you can see because the witnesses on
Tx:21.59  you when you think you sin, you call for help. Yet if you will not  accept the help you call for, you will not believe that it is yours
Tx:21.64  your brother nor yourself can be attacked alone. But neither can  accept a miracle instead without the other being blessed by it and
Tx:22.54  will does healing lie. For here your healing is and here will you  accept Atonement. And in your healing is the Sonship healed because
Tx:22.58  to substitute another goal. [This one was given you and only this.]  Accept this one and serve it willingly, for what the Holy Spirit does
Tx:23.10  over. The journey's end is at the place of peace. Would you not now  accept the peace offered you here? This “enemy” you fought as an
Tx:23.24  to make chaos eternal. For if God cannot be mistaken, then He must  accept his Son's belief in what he is and hate him for it.
Tx:23.43 Salvation is no compromise of any kind. To compromise is to  accept but part of what you want—to take a little and give up the
Tx:23.45  cannot perceive it lies within them. How could they know? Could they  accept forgiveness side by side with the belief that murder takes
Tx:23.45  some forms by which their peace is saved? Would they be willing to  accept the fact their savage purpose is directed against themselves?
Tx:24.25  whose holy hands would offer it to you when you were ready to  accept His plan for your salvation in place of yours. How could this
Tx:25.18  Accept God's frame instead of yours, and you will see the
Tx:25.59  remember this and so emerge from deepest mourning into perfect joy.  Accept the function that has been assigned to you in God's Own plan
Tx:25.72  He recognize all you deserve but understands as well that you cannot  accept it for yourself. It is His special function to hold out to you
Tx:25.72  out to you the gifts the innocent deserve. And every one that you  accept brings joy to Him as well as you. He knows that Heaven is
Tx:25.72  as well as you. He knows that Heaven is richer made by each one you  accept. And God rejoices as His Son receives what loving justice
Tx:25.79  reluctantly is not to gain the gift because you are reluctant to  accept it. It is saved for you until reluctance to receive it
Tx:26.3  you think is yours. For giving and receiving are the same. And to  accept the limits of a body is to impose these limits on each brother
Tx:27.4  you swear he never will escape. This sick and sorry picture you  accept, if only it can serve to punish him. The sick are merciless to
Tx:27.28  you perceive as separate. And each forgives the other, that he may  accept his other half as part of him.
Tx:27.44  extends without your help, but you are needed that it can begin.  Accept the miracle of healing, and it will go forth because of what
Tx:27.47 What stands apart from you when you  accept the blessing that the holy instant brings? Be not afraid of
Tx:27.53  healing offered. And you will learn that peace is given you when you  accept the healing for yourself. Its total value need not be
Tx:27.73  waken gently and with joy. And gave him means to waken without fear.  Accept the dream He gave instead of yours. It is not difficult to
Tx:28.19  perceive this much at least—that you have caused the dream and can  accept another dream as well. But for this change in content of the
Tx:28.25  is seen as causeless now, because they did not make it. And you can  accept the role of maker of their hate, because you see that it has
Tx:28.28  in the rising up to waking and the ending of the dream. When you  accept a miracle, you do not add your dream of fear to one that is
Tx:28.29  it is their joint decision to be sick. If you withhold agreement and  accept the part you play in making sickness real, the other mind
Tx:28.48  you share becomes the only one you have. You have the one which you  accept, because it is the only one you [want] to have. You share no
Tx:28.61  opposite? There is no middle ground in any aspect of salvation. You  accept it wholly or accept it not. What is unseparated must be
Tx:28.61  no middle ground in any aspect of salvation. You accept it wholly or  accept it not. What is unseparated must be joined. And what is joined
Tx:29.13  believing they are separate and alone. They will be healed when you  accept your gifts, because your Guest will welcome everyone whose
Tx:29.32  for any purpose you may see in him. Nothing is asked of you but to  accept the changeless and eternal that abide in him, for your
Tx:30.14  this decision still can be undone by simple methods which you can  accept.
Tx:31.57  that can stand for what you are. What matters it which concept you  accept while you perceive a self which interacts with evil and reacts
Tx:31.95  me as You are sure of what they are and will forever be. They will  accept the gift I offer them because You gave it me on their behalf.
W1:I.5  true. Remember only this—you need not believe them, you need not  accept them, and you need not welcome them. Some of them you may
W1:9.1  follows from the two preceding ones. But while you may be able to  accept it intellectually, it is unlikely that it will mean anything
W1:12.8  bad. Why, then, should a meaningless world upset you? If you could  accept the world as meaningless and let the truth be written upon it
W1:13.3  therefore, that you learn to recognize the meaningless and  accept it without fear. If you are fearful, it is certain that you
W1:58.2  world come. Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. I can  accept the innocence that is the truth about me. Seen through
W1:61.3 True humility requires that you  accept today's idea because it is God's Voice Which tells you it is
W1:63.2  for his redemption. It is yours to give him, for it belongs to you.  Accept no trivial purpose or meaningless desire in its place or you
W1:63.2  This is no idle request that is being asked of you. You are asked to  accept salvation that it may be yours to give.
W1:65.2  a more sustained practice period in which you try to understand and  accept what today's idea really means. It offers you escape from all
W1:65.14  you. It is what you see now that will be totally changed when you  accept today's idea completely.
W1:66.7 Try to see the logic in this sequence, even if you do not yet  accept the conclusion. It is only if the first two thoughts are wrong
W1:66.8  it is this definition of Him which you are believing if you do not  accept the first premise.
W1:71.1  believe. Since it is the opposite of God's, you also believe that to  accept God's plan in place of the ego's is to be damned. This sounds
W1:72.7  the ego comes to save you. God made you a body. Very well. Let us  accept this and be glad. As a body, do not let yourself be deprived
W1:72.10  the body is to end the attack on God's plan for salvation and to  accept it instead. And wherever His plan is accepted, it is
W1:72.19 Holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for salvation. Let me  accept it instead. What is salvation, Father?
W1:73.8  if you remember that you will salvation for yourself. You will to  accept God's plan because you share in it. You have no will that can
W1:75.3  our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers us. Today we will  accept the new world as what we want to see. We will be given what we
W1:78.5  to please—demanding, irritating, or untrue to the ideal he should  accept as his according to the role you set for him.
W1:79.6  only problem is separation, no matter what form it takes, you could  accept the answer because you would see its relevance. Perceiving the
W1:80.1  Salvation is accomplished. Freedom from conflict has been given you.  Accept that fact, and you are ready to take your rightful place in
W1:80.3  not deceive you while you remember this. One problem—one solution.  Accept the peace this simple statement brings.
W1:86.5  no longer defeat my own best interests in this insane way. I would  accept God's plan for salvation and be happy.
W1:89.2  me from all grievances and replace them with miracles. And I would  accept the miracles in place of the grievances, which are but
W1:89.2  which are but illusions that hide the miracles beyond. Now I would  accept only what the laws of God entitle me to have that I may use it
W1:89.5  with the Holy Spirit's and perceive them as one. By this idea do I  accept my release from hell. By this idea do I express my willingness
W1:90.7  resolved. The answer to this problem is already given me if I will  accept it. Time cannot separate this problem from its solution.
W1:95.1  Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do not  accept this and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you
W1:96.17  store. And all of it is given everyone who asks for it and will  accept the gift. Think, then, how much is given unto you to give this
W1:97.6  misery appear to rule. He will not overlook one open mind that will  accept the healing gift they bring, and He will lay them everywhere
W1:97.10 Expressed through you, the Holy Spirit will  accept this gift which you received of Him, increase its power, and
W1:98.1  else; we will not seek for it where it is not. In gladness we  accept it as it is and take the part assigned to us by God.
W1:98.5 Is it not worth five minutes of your time each hour to be able to  accept the happiness that God has given you? Is it not worth five
W1:98.9 I will  accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
W1:98.10 In each five minutes that you spend with Him, He will  accept your words and give them back to you all bright with faith and
W1:98.13  and spend a happy time again with Him. Tell Him once more that you  accept the part which He would have you take and help you fill, and
W1:100.4  They are the proof that God wills perfect happiness for all who will  accept their Father's gifts as theirs.
W1:101.4  the Voice Which offers it to him? Why would he try to listen and  accept Its offering? If sin is real, its offering is death and meted
W1:101.5  believe must come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause.  Accept Atonement with an open mind which cherishes no lingering
W1:102.5 I share God's Will for happiness for me, and I  accept it as my function now.
W1:105.1 God's peace and joy are yours. Today we will  accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we will try to understand
W1:105.4  Accept God's peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of
W1:105.4  but increase thereby. As Heaven's peace and joy intensify when you  accept them as God's gift to you, so does the joy of your Creator
W1:105.4  as God's gift to you, so does the joy of your Creator grow when you  accept His joy and peace as yours.
W1:105.6 Today  accept God's peace and joy as yours. Let Him complete Himself as He
W1:105.9  free of all that would prevent success today. Now are you ready to  accept the gift of peace and joy which God has given you. Now are you
W1:106.1  the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call; if you will not  accept its petty gifts which give you nothing that you really want;
W1:109.6  dreams of fever that has passed away. Let it be still and thankfully  accept its healing. No more fearful dreams will come now that you
W1:R3.4  you nothing. But your practicing can offer everything to you. And so  accept its offering and be at peace.
W1:114.3 [98] I will  accept my part in God's plan for salvation. What can my function be
W1:114.3  my part in God's plan for salvation. What can my function be but to  accept the Word of God, Who has created me, for what I am and will
W1:114.7 I will  accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
W1:117.3  and with it joy. These are the gifts my Father gave to me. I would  accept all that is mine in truth.
W1:118.2 [105] God's peace and joy are mine. Today I will  accept God's peace and joy in glad exchange for all the substitutes
W1:119.3  in truth. I will forgive all things today, that I may learn how to  accept the truth in me and come to recognize my sinlessness.
W1:122.7 Here is the answer! Do not turn away in aimless wandering again.  Accept salvation now. It is the gift of God and not the world. The
W1:124.9  be less if you believe that nothing happens. You may not be ready to  accept the gain today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you,
W1:128.1  and from hopes that turn to bitter ashes of despair. No one but must  accept this thought as true, if he would leave this world behind and
W1:130.9 It is impossible to see two worlds. Let me  accept the strength God offers me and see no value in this world that
W1:130.12  Accept a little part of hell as real, and you have damned your eyes
W1:132.7  thought the course attempts to teach. Not everyone is ready to  accept it, and each one must go as far as he can let himself be led
W1:132.8  gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no world and can  accept the lesson now. Their readiness will bring the lesson to them
W1:132.14  from this idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny illusions, but  accept the truth. Deny you are a shadow briefly laid upon a dying
W1:134.2  view of what forgiveness means is easily corrected when you can  accept the fact that pardon is not asked for what is true. It must be
W1:135.19 What could you not  accept if you but knew that everything that happens, all events,
W1:136.17 Sickness is a defense against the truth. I will  accept the truth of what I am and let my mind be wholly healed today.
W1:137.3  and separate. But healing is his own decision to be one again and to  accept his Self with all its parts intact and unassailed. In sickness
W1:137.4  would impose has never really happened. To be healed is merely to  accept what always was the simple truth and always will remain
W1:139.1 Here is the end of choice. For here we come to a decision to  accept ourselves as God created us. And what is choice except
W1:139.2  except one who has refused to recognize himself? Only refusal to  accept yourself could make the question seem to be sincere. The only
W1:139.8  It is more than just our happiness alone we came to gain. What we  accept as what we are proclaims what everyone must be along with us.
W1:139.9  God's Son is unassailed by his belief he knows not what he is. Today  accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept the
W1:139.9  he is. Today accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to  accept the truth about yourself and go your way rejoicing in the
W1:139.11 I will  accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me.
W1:139.14 I will  accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me.
W1:150.1 [139] I will  accept Atonement for myself.
W1:151.9 And thus He judges you.  Accept His word of what you are, for He bears witness to your
W1:152.2  abide? Truth must be all-inclusive if it be the truth at all.  Accept no opposite and no exceptions, for to do so is to contradict
W1:152.3  nothing else is true. This you have heard before, but may not yet  accept both parts of it. Without the first, the second has no
W1:152.8 Let us today be truly humble and  accept what we have made as what it is. The power of decision is our
W1:152.8  made as what it is. The power of decision is our own. Decide but to  accept your rightful place as co-creator of the universe, and all you
W1:152.10  in power and in love. The power of decision is our own. And we  accept of Him that which we are and humbly recognize the Son of God.
W1:152.13 The power of decision is my own. This day I will  accept myself as what my Father's Will created me to be.
W1:154.5  who will receive the message that he brings. It is enough that he  accept it, give it to the ones for whom it is appointed, and fulfill
W1:154.6  they deliver are intended first for them. And it is only as they can  accept them for themselves that they become able to bring them
W1:154.15  about ourselves and what our function is. For as we prove that we  accept no will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator will
W1:155.8 Such is salvation's call, and nothing more. It asks that you  accept the truth, and let it go before you, lighting up the path of
W1:156.5  they see in you their holiness, saluting you as savior and as God.  Accept their reverence, for it is due to Holiness itself Which walks
W1:159.2 You understand that you are healed when you give healing. You  accept forgiveness as accomplished in yourself when you forgive. You
W1:160.10  He does. Who denies his brother is denying Him and thus refusing to  accept the gift of sight by which his Self is clearly recognized, his
W1:161.11  today. And once you have succeeded, you will not be willing to  accept the witnesses your body's eyes call forth. What you will see
W1:162.5 We honor you today. Yours is the right to perfect holiness you now  accept. With this acceptance is salvation brought to everyone, for
W1:163.6  is possible. For here again we see an obvious position which we must  accept if we be sane; what contradicts one thought entirely cannot be
W1:163.9  with all living things, to be like You and part of You forever. We  accept Your thoughts as ours, and our will is one with Yours
W1:164.3  come from nearer than the world are clear to you who will today  accept the gifts He gives.
W1:165.5  seeing eyes of Christ; your mind has come to lay aside denial and  accept the Thought of God as its inheritance.
W1:166.3  to anyone who holds such strange beliefs. He must believe that, to  accept God's gifts, however evident they may become, however urgently
W1:166.12  has given you. He speaks as well of what becomes your will when you  accept these gifts and recognize they are your own.
W1:166.15  your happiness to how transformed the mind becomes which chooses to  accept His gifts and feel the touch of Christ. Such is your mission
W1:169.3  aware that there are things it does not know and thus is ready to  accept a state completely different from experience with which it is
W1:169.13 Be grateful to return, as you were glad to go an instant and  accept the gifts that grace provided you. You carry them back to
W1:R5.3  now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we  accept the Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review
W1:I2.3  achievement while it is denied. It may be there, but you cannot  accept its presence. So we now attempt to go past all defenses for a
W1:182.12  His home is yours. Today He gives you His defenselessness, and you  accept it in exchange for all the toys of battle you have made. And
W1:183.10  what the world forgot and offer it your own remembering. You can  accept today the part you play in its salvation and your own as well,
W1:184.6  for it is the ultimate reality. To question it is madness; to  accept its presence is the proof of sanity.
W1:184.11  little names and symbols which delineate the world of darkness. Yet  accept them not as your reality. The Holy Spirit uses all of them,
W1:184.12  place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds  accept what He has given as the answer to the pitiful inheritance you
W1:184.13  God. Experience must come to supplement the word. But first you must  accept One Name for all reality, and realize the many names you gave
W1:184.15  we may be absolved of all effects our errors seemed to have. And we  accept the truth You give in place of every one of them. Your Name is
W1:186.2  it will be perfectly accomplished. All that we are asked to do is to  accept our part in genuine humility and not deny with self-deceiving
W1:186.5  your plan to prove the false is true has brought to you.  Accept the plan you did not make instead. Judge not your value to it.
W1:186.8 And so we find our peace. We will  accept the function God has given us, for all illusions rest upon the
W1:186.10  images will go and leave your mind unclouded and serene when you  accept the function given you. The images you make give rise to but
W1:187.3  to you before you give them. If you are to save the world, you first  accept salvation for yourself. But you will not believe that this is
W1:187.7 Illusions recognized must disappear.  Accept not suffering, and you remove the thought of suffering. Your
W1:188.7  Voice when you refuse to listen. And they urge you gently to  accept His Word for what you are instead of fantasies and shadows.
W1:190.5  what you are. As you perceive the harmlessness in them, they will  accept your holy will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful now
W1:191.5  safety and escape, you will return and set it free. For he who can  accept his true Identity is truly saved. And his salvation is the
W1:191.13  suffer pain until you have denied its hold on you. They die till you  accept your own eternal life. You are the holy Son of God Himself.
W1:192.10  The Son of God deserves your mercy. It is he who asks that you  accept the way to freedom now. Deny him not. His Father's Love for
W1:192.10  Your function here on earth is only to forgive him, that you may  accept him back as your Identity. He is as God created him. And you
W1:194.2  Accept today's idea, and you have passed all anxiety, all pits of
W1:194.2  depression, thoughts of sin, and devastation brought about by guilt.  Accept today's idea, and you have released the world from all
W1:194.9  can come to us. If we forget, we will be gently reassured. If we  accept an unforgiving thought, it will be soon replaced by love's
W1:196.6 Such is the form of madness you believe if you  accept the fearful thought you can attack another and be free
W1:198.5  Is it not more intelligent to thank the One Who gives salvation, and  accept His gift with gratitude? And is it not a kindness to yourself
W1:198.12  Accept the one illusion which proclaims there is no condemnation in
W1:199.3 It is essential for your progress in this course that you  accept today's idea and hold it very dear. Be not concerned that to
W1:199.7  and helpless and afraid. Let love replace their fears through you.  Accept salvation now, and give your mind to Him Who calls to you to
W1:200.1 Seek you no further. You will not find peace except the peace of God.  Accept this fact, and save yourself the agony of yet more bitter
W1:200.11  be found in them. The peace of God is ours, and only this will we  accept and want. Peace be to us today. For we have found a simple,
W1:207.1  He abides. I need but turn to Him, and every sorrow melts away as I  accept His boundless Love for me. I am not a body. I am free. For I
W1:212.1  given me can offer freedom. Only this I seek, and only this will I  accept as mine. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God
W1:214.1  am I freed from both. For what God gives can only be for good. And I  accept but what He gives as what belongs to me. I am not a body. I am
W2:I.6  backward now. We look ahead and fix our eyes upon the journey's end.  Accept these little gifts of thanks from us, as through Christ's
W2:I.10  judging, we need but be still and let all things be healed. We will  accept the way God's plan will end, as we received the way it
W2:221.2  together. I am sure that He will speak to you, and you will hear.  Accept my confidence, for it is yours. Our minds are joined. We wait

Tx:13.46  to everyone for the salvation of everyone will not be perfectly  accomplished. You will be released, and you will not remember

Tx:15.85  that they reach to God. It is this shift in vision which is  accomplished in the holy instant. Yet it is needful for you to learn
Tx:15.87  it tries to turn its purpose into accomplishment. This will never be  accomplished. Yet you have surely recognized that the ego, whose
Tx:16.1  ego. He does not join in pain, knowing that healing pain is not  accomplished by delusional attempts to enter into it and lighten it
Tx:16.13  impossible to convince you of the reality of what has clearly been  accomplished through your willingness, as long as you believe that
Tx:16.17  of attack have both been brought into awareness. And this has been  accomplished in minds firmly convinced that holiness is weakness and
Tx:16.47  in complete disagreement on what completion is and how it is  accomplished. The Holy Spirit knows that completion lies first in
Tx:17.2  reality that is fearful, because by your wish you think you have  accomplished what you wish. This strange position in a sense
Tx:17.6  not concerned with anything except your willingness to have this be  accomplished. He will accomplish it; not you. But forget not this:
Tx:17.44  In all its aspects, as it begins, develops, and becomes  accomplished, it represents the reversal of the unholy relationship.
Tx:17.45  of asking Him to enter. At once His goal replaces yours. This is  accomplished very rapidly, but it makes the relationship seem
Tx:17.47  whole relationship is for. As this change develops and is finally  accomplished, it grows increasingly beneficent and joyous. But at the
Tx:18.6  it still remains. Invest it not with guilt, for guilt implies it was  accomplished in reality. And above all, be not afraid of it. When you
Tx:18.23  your will joined with the Will of God. And what this will would have  accomplished has never not been done.
Tx:18.41  the Holy Spirit's teaching, and all the means by which salvation is  accomplished would have no purpose. For they are all but aspects of
Tx:19.23  this would be the ego's wish, which in its madness it thinks it has  accomplished.
Tx:19.39  to encompass everyone, the Holy Spirit's function here will be  accomplished. What need is there for seeing then? When God has taken
Tx:19.44  the appeal of guilt to the appeal of love. How can this fail to be  accomplished, wherever it is undertaken? Guilt can raise no real
Tx:19.75  to the goal of sin and places in it all its faith that this can be  accomplished. Its sad disciples chant the body's praise continually,
Tx:19.83  than by showing you the one which seems to be the hardest can be  accomplished first? The body can but serve your purpose. As you look
Tx:19.99  How can you know that it is over unless you realize its purpose is  accomplished? Here, with the journey's end before you, you see its
Tx:19.105  to which we come again; to which we will return until redemption is  accomplished and received. Think who your brother is before you would
Tx:20.41  in line. Why should it take so many holy instants to let this be  accomplished, when one would do? There is but one. The little breath
Tx:21.37  asks for sacrifice, for this is how they think their purpose is  accomplished. Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice brings
Tx:21.53  not apart from him, nor does the Will of God wait upon time to be  accomplished. Therefore, what joined the Will of God must be in you

W1:77.5  own. You have requested that you be given the means by which this is  accomplished. You cannot fail to be assured in this. You are but
W1:80.1  that it has been solved. One problem—one solution. Salvation is  accomplished. Freedom from conflict has been given you. Accept that

W1:137.3  dismembered and without the unity that gives it life. But healing is  accomplished as he sees the body has no power to attack the universal
W1:137.5  truth itself. Just as forgiveness overlooks all sins that never were  accomplished, healing but removes illusions that have not occurred.
W1:138.3  goes by without results. There is no sense of gain, for nothing is  accomplished; nothing learned.

W1:169.7  what forgiveness means. All learning was already in His Mind,  accomplished and complete. He recognized all that time holds and gave

Tx:10.50  not. According to the Holy Spirit's teaching, only God's purpose is  accomplishment, and it is already accomplished.

W1:66.3  involved in defining happiness and determining the means for  achieving it. We will not indulge the ego by listening to its attacks

Tx:5.34  Spirit in his mind, and you will recognize Him in yours. What you  acknowledge in your brother you are acknowledging in yourself, and
Tx:5.46  a way out of fear. This does not mean that you can safely fail to  acknowledge anything that is true. However, the Holy Spirit will not
Tx:7.38  the Holy Spirit in both of you, because it is a refusal to  acknowledge fear. Love needs only this invitation. It comes freely to

Tx:8.15  Kingdom is and for its own acknowledgment of what it is. When you  acknowledge this, you bring the acknowledgment automatically to

Tx:16.16  the glad tidings He has come. It is true, just as you fear, that to  acknowledge Him is to deny all that you think you know. But it was
Tx:21.16  no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is done to you.  Acknowledge but that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your

W1:7.10 Look about you. This is equally true of whatever you look at.  Acknowledge this by applying the idea for today indiscriminately to
W1:28.7  equal sincerity as today's idea is applied to it in an attempt to  acknowledge the equal value of them all in their contribution to your
W1:83.2  to do, what to say, and what to think. All doubt must disappear as I  acknowledge that my only function is the one God gave me.
W1:131.12 This we  acknowledge as we start upon our practice periods. Begin with this:
W1:135.28  plans, remind yourself this is a special day for learning, and  acknowledge it with this:
W1:164.9  your consent and your acceptance. We can change the world if you  acknowledge them. You may not see the value your acceptance gives the
W1:167.2  a little sigh of weariness, a slight discomfort or the merest frown,  acknowledge death. And thus deny you live.
W1:168.5  given us. Our faith lies in the Giver, not our own acceptance. We  acknowledge our mistakes, but He to Whom all error is unknown is yet
W1:170.11  above all else, cruel beyond conception, striking down all who  acknowledge Him to be their God.
W1:183.9 Repeat His Name, and you  acknowledge Him as sole Creator of reality. And you acknowledge also
W1:183.9  Name, and you acknowledge Him as sole Creator of reality. And you  acknowledge also that His Son is part of Him, creating in His Name.
W1:188.9 Thus are our minds restored with them, and we  acknowledge that the peace of God still shines in us and from us to
W2:223.2  we are at home. Today we would return. Our Name is Yours, and we  acknowledge that we are Your Son.
W2:276.1  Father is, and for what purpose we have come. And yet we need but to  acknowledge Him Who gave His Word to us in our creation, to remember
W2:WISC.4  is Christ restored as one Identity, in which all Sons of God  acknowledge that they all are one. And God the Father smiles upon His
M:8.6  but the mind which has let itself be healed will no longer  acknowledge them. There will be those who seem to be “sicker” than
M:12.6  Unity alone is not a thing of dreams. And it is this God's teachers  acknowledge as behind the dream, beyond all seeing and yet surely

Tx:9.92  light will create. Yet in the returning, the little light must be  acknowledged first, for the separation was a descent from magnitude
Tx:9.105  your creations are as real as His. Yet the real Fatherhood must be  acknowledged if the real Son is to be known. You believe that the

Tx:17.77 To you who have  acknowledged the call of your Redeemer, the strain of not responding
Tx:19.63  with Him nor with himself. When you agreed to join each other, you  acknowledged this is so. This has no cost, but it has release from
W1:168.3  He has most carefully preserved within our hearts, waiting to be  acknowledged. This the gift by which God leans to us and lifts us up,
W1:188.5  is shining in you now and in all living things. In quietness is it  acknowledged universally. For what your inward vision looks upon is
W1:192.2  to let illusion go. Creation merely waits for your return to be  acknowledged, not to be complete.

Tx:16.63  Across the bridge, it is so different! For a time the body is still

Tx:19.38  peace which already lies deeply within must first expand and flow  across the obstacles you placed before it. This will you do, for
Tx:19.40 The first obstacle that peace must flow  across is your desire to get rid of it. For it cannot extend unless
Tx:19.40  homeless, how can it abide within the Son of God? If it would spread  across the whole creation, it must begin with you and from you reach
Tx:19.43  little obstacle. It cannot contain the Will of God. Peace will flow  across it and join you without hindrance. Salvation cannot be
Tx:19.59  sway, peace is not wanted. The second obstacle that peace must flow  across, and closely related to the first, is the belief that the body
Tx:19.63  to the eternal, and it reaches out from the eternal in you. It flows  across all else. The second obstacle is no more solid than the first.

Tx:19.94 Every obstacle that peace must flow  across is surmounted in just the same way; the fear that raised it
Tx:22.31  Sin is a block, set like a heavy gate, locked and without a key,  across the road to peace. No one who looks on it without the help of
Tx:25.18  sinlessness the frame of darkness hides and casts a veil of light  across the picture's face, which but reflects the light that shines

Tx:28.15  illusions and reality than to allow the memory of God to flow  across it, making it a bridge an instant will suffice to reach
Tx:28.15  He has built the bridge, and it is He Who will transport His Son  across it. Have no fear that He will fail in what He wills. Nor that

W1:125.4  Father speak. His Voice would give to you His holy Word to spread  across the world the tidings of salvation and the holy time of peace.
W1:128.3  limit you further, hide your worth from you, and add another bar  across the door that leads to true awareness of your Self.
W1:132.19 You need not realize that healing comes to many brothers far  across the world as well as to the ones you see near by as you send
W1:134.11  Across this bridge, as powerful as Love Which laid Its blessing on
W1:134.18  you will begin to sense a lifting up, a lightening of weight  across your chest, a deep and certain feeling of relief. The time
W1:136.18 Healing will flash  across your open mind as peace and truth arise to take the place of

W1:198.13  rush of thoughts that made no sense. Now is there tranquil light  across the face of earth, made quiet in a dreamless sleep. And now
W2:I.9  we no longer think illusions true. The memory of God is shimmering  across the wide horizons of our minds. A moment more, and it will

M:15.1  freed with him. Time pauses as eternity comes near, and silence lies  across the world that everyone may hear this judgment of the Son of
M:26.1  on everyone's heart. Yet this awareness and this memory can arise  across the threshold of the unconscious only where all barriers to
M:28.2  Idols have disappeared, and the remembrance of God shines unimpeded  across the world. Christ's face is seen in every living thing, and

Tx:9.91 The miracle is the  act of a Son of God who has laid aside all false gods and who calls
Tx:9.91  false gods and who calls on his brothers to do likewise. It is an  act of faith, because it is the recognition that his brother can do
Tx:11.62  but you gain confidence in their existence as they enable you to  act. And the results of your actions you can see.
Tx:16.51  specialness and the perception of the giving of specialness as an  act of love would make love hateful. And the real purpose of the

Tx:20.18 The holy do not interfere with truth. They are not  afraid of it, for it is within the truth they recognized their
Tx:20.37  eternity. No one who has a single purpose, unified and sure, can be  afraid. No one who shares his purpose with him can not be one with
Tx:20.51 Idolaters will always be  afraid of love, for nothing so severely threatens them as love's
Tx:21.7  life and where they live, adjusting to it as they think they must,  afraid to lose the little that they have. And so it is with all who
Tx:21.9  remembered how dear it was to you. You could remember, yet you are  afraid, believing you would lose the world you learned since then.
Tx:21.37  And if you seek to limit Him, you will hate Him because you are  afraid. The gift that He has given you is more than anything that
Tx:21.41  He will correct, but this makes no one fearful. You are indeed  afraid to look within and see the sin you think is there. This you
Tx:21.44  more did you. And yet this part with which you now identify is not  afraid to look upon itself. It knows no sin. How, otherwise, could it
Tx:21.46  of the sane. You have perceived the ego's madness and not been made  afraid because you did not choose to share in it. At times it still
Tx:21.47 And now the ego is  afraid. Yet what it hears in terror, the other part hears as the
Tx:21.50  and it is sure that you will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable, and  afraid. You will experience depression, a sense of worthlessness, and
Tx:21.71  can they do but envy him his power and by their envy make themselves  afraid of it? These are the dark ones, silent and afraid, alone and
Tx:21.71  make themselves afraid of it? These are the dark ones, silent and  afraid, alone and not communicating, fearful the power of the Son of
Tx:25.38  makes Christ your enemy and God along with Him. Must you not be  afraid with “enemies” like these? And must you not be fearful of

Tx:26.58  This is the treasure he has sought to find. And he could only be  afraid of it. Is fear a treasure? Can uncertainty be what you want?
Tx:26.70 Salvation is immediate. Unless you so perceive it, you will be  afraid of it, believing that the risk of loss is great between the

Tx:12.35  Projection makes perception, and you cannot see beyond it. Again and  again have men attacked each other because they saw in them a shadow
Tx:12.47  in everyone you meet because you see Him through Himself. To be born  again is to let the past go and look without condemnation upon the
Tx:12.48  miracle, which could intervene between them, to free you to be born  again.
Tx:12.49  you to see your brother without his past and so perceive him as born  again. His errors are all past, and by perceiving him without them,

Tx:12.69  you need will hurt you. For although the ego urges you again and  again to get, it leaves you nothing, for what you get, it will demand
Tx:13.24  to hold you to the past, but with each one each day be born  again. A minute, even less, will be enough to free you from the past
Tx:15.5  Again the ego tries and all too frequently succeeds in doing both by
Tx:15.10  condemnation. From this holy instant wherein holiness was born  again, you will go forth in time without fear and with no sense of
Tx:15.21  God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you will never deny it  again. Who can deny the Presence of what the universe bows to in
Tx:16.16  while. The Host of God has called to you, and you have heard. Never  again will you be wholly willing not to listen.
Tx:17.21  attract you that you will be unwilling ever to lose the sight of it  again. And you will let it transform the relationship so you can see

Tx:17.61  And you will recognize the outcome because you are at peace. Here  again, you see the opposite of the ego's way of looking, for the ego
Tx:18.4  wholeness. It has become so splintered and subdivided and divided  again, over and over, that it is now almost impossible to perceive it
Tx:18.64  the miracle of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will see the body  again, but never quite the same. And every instant that you spend
Tx:19.14  There will you see the miracle of your relationship as it was made  again through faith. And there it is that you will realize that there
Tx:19.36  behold what He would show you in each other, and let not sin arise  again to blind your eyes. For sin would keep you separate, but your
Tx:19.96  will to look on this. No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget  again, no stab of fear, nor the cold sweat of seeming death can stand
Tx:19.99  to look upon it or wander on, only to return and make the choice  again.
Tx:19.105 Here is the holy place of resurrection to which we come  again; to which we will return until redemption is accomplished and
Tx:19.107  together the way unto the resurrection of God's Son and let him rise  again to glad remembrance of his Father, Who knows no sin, no death,
Tx:20.55  he is more dead than living. Yet it is also here he makes his choice  again between idolatry and love.
Tx:20.68  for certainty? Would you not willingly be free of misery and learn  again of joy? Your holy relationship offers all this to you. As it
Tx:20.74  each different and with different values. Yet they are all the same.  Again there is no order but a seeming hierarchy of values.
Tx:21.7  brothers have. They try to reach each other, and they fail and fail  again. And they adjust to loneliness, believing that to keep the body
Tx:21.22  interference with what will happen of itself; simply to recognize  again the presence of what you thought you gave away.
Tx:21.45  began. And it desired nothing but to join with him and to be free  again, as once it was. It has been waiting for the birth of freedom,
Tx:21.81  The others are decisions which can be made and then unmade and made  again. But truth is constant and implies a state where vacillations
Tx:21.82  For only then have you renounced the option to change your mind  again. When it is this you do not want, the rest are wholly answered.
Tx:22.24  would not be the mind's extensions but its enemies. And here we see  again another form of the same fundamental illusion we have seen many
Tx:22.55  bring is given you. And every empty place in Heaven that you fill  again with the Eternal Light you bring shines now on you. The means
Tx:23.2  it because of this; and you will think that you succeeded and attack  again. It is as certain you will fear what you attack as it is sure
Tx:23.23  the Father and the Son. Now it appears that they can never be one  again. For one must always be condemned and by the other. Now are
Tx:24.67  means. Not till you go past learning to the Given; not till you make  again a holy home for your creations is it understood.
Tx:25.32  change unless the aim is changed. And then the means are chosen once  again, as what will bring rejoicing is defined another way and sought
Tx:25.36  that falls is given life in you. Each bird that ever sang will sing  again in you. And every flower that ever bloomed has saved its
Tx:25.42  attack believe He hates you, thinking Heaven must be hell. Look once  again upon your brother, not without the understanding that he is the
Tx:26.7 Yet every instant can you be reborn and given life  again. His holiness gives life to you, who cannot die because his

Tx:26.10  yet again until it has been answered for all time and will not rise  again in any form. And only then are you released from it.
Tx:26.15  whom you wish to be preserved from sacrifice entirely. Consider once  again your special function. One is given you to see in him his
Tx:26.25  to his real function of creating, which his forgiveness offers him  again.
Tx:26.27  is what was lost restored to them and all their radiance made whole  again.
Tx:26.35  sin, is that one instant still called back, as if it could be made  again in time. You keep an ancient memory before your eyes. And he

Tx:26.42  time of terror was replaced by love. And so you die each day to live  again until you cross the gap between past and present, which is not
Tx:26.42  is each life—a seeming interval from birth to death and on to life  again, a repetition of an instant gone by long ago, which cannot be
Tx:26.43  is no hindrance to the Will of God nor any need that you repeat  again a journey that was over long ago. Look gently on each other and
Tx:26.63  Each instant is the Son of God reborn, until he chooses not to die  again. In every wish to hurt, he chooses death instead of what his
Tx:26.79 The blood of hatred fades to let the grass grow green  again and let the flowers be all white and sparkling in the summer
Tx:26.79  Because of Them. It is Their Presence which has lifted holiness  again to take its ancient place upon an ancient throne. Because of

Tx:26.84 Now is the temple of the Living God rebuilt as host  again to Him by Whom it was created. Where He dwells, His Son dwells
Tx:27.10  to nothing yet, its purpose being open and the mind made free  again to choose what it is for. Now is it not condemned, but waiting
Tx:27.13  and could love and trust him still? He has attacked and will attack  again. Protect him not, because your damaged body shows that you must
Tx:27.55 Sin shifts from pain to pleasure and  again to pain. For either witness is the same and carries but one
Tx:27.79  taught in many ways. This single lesson does it try to teach  again, and still again, and yet once more that it is cause and not
Tx:27.79  many ways. This single lesson does it try to teach again, and still  again, and yet once more that it is cause and not effect. And you are

Tx:28.44  the broken picture of the Son of God and put the pieces into place  again. This holy picture, healed entirely, does He hold out to every
Tx:28.57  every brother who would walk apart. This is the secret oath you take  again, whenever you perceive yourself attacked. No one can suffer if
Tx:29.3  a little while. But not without a gap between you, lest he turn  again into an enemy. [Let him come close to you, and you jumped back;

Tx:30.7  think of it and have a quiet moment for reflection, tell yourself  again the kind of day you want, the feelings you would have, the

Tx:30.28  practicing the rules for its undoing. Let us, then, consider once  again the very first of the decisions which are offered here.

Tx:30.52  to the rules you set for them. But then they fall and cannot rise  again. They are but toys, my children. Do not grieve for them. Their
Tx:30.62  forgiveness washes joyfully away. Yet God need not create His Son  again that what is his be given back to him. The gap between your
Tx:30.62  never there. And what the Son of God knew in creation, he must know  again.
Tx:30.88  forgiveness has been given to us all, and thus we can communicate  again.
Tx:30.89  and yet you thought it real before, and now you think it real  again. Reality is thus reduced to form and capable of change. Reality

Tx:31.88  of temptation then, but see it as it is—another chance to choose  again and let Christ's strength prevail in every circumstance and
Tx:31.92  weakness, opening the way to his salvation and release. Choose once  again what you would have him be, remembering that every choice you
Tx:31.94  many chances to perceive another situation where God's gift can once  again be recognized as ours! And thus will all the vestiges of hell,
Tx:31.94  His certainty I rest content. For you will hear, and you will choose  again. And in this choice is everyone made free.

W1:43.8  phase of the exercise period, close your eyes, repeat today's idea  again, and then let whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add to
W1:43.11  your eyes, repeat the first phase, and then try the second phase  again. Do not allow any protracted period to occur in which you
W1:45.6  have added some four or five thoughts of your own, repeat the idea  again, and tell yourself gently:
W1:52.5  What I have chosen to see has cost me vision. Now I would choose  again that I may see.
W1:64.5  this today. Let us remind ourselves of it in the morning and  again at night and all through the day as well.

W1:70.12 Now we will try  again to reach the light in you, which is where your salvation is.
W1:73.15 In the shorter practice periods,  again make a declaration of what you really want. Say:

W1:76.2  where it is not and never find it. The idea for today tells you once  again how simple is salvation. Look for it where it waits for you,
W1:77.1  God is. And you will offer miracles because you are one with God.  Again, how simple is salvation! It is merely a statement of your true
W1:79.5  of denial and rise to haunt you from time to time, only to be hidden  again but still unsolved.

W1:92.9  of God is where your Self, His Son, is waiting now to meet itself  again and be as one.
W1:92.11  use the day in preparation for the time at night when we will meet  again in hope and trust. Let us repeat as often as we can the idea

W1:94.3 Today we will  again devote the first five minutes of each waking hour to the
W1:95.3  of only what can hear and see and what makes perfect sense. We will  again direct our exercises towards reaching your One Self, which is
W1:95.3  which is united with its Creator. In patience and in hope we try  again today.
W1:95.7  use your lapses from this schedule as an excuse not to return to it  again as soon as you can.
W1:95.8  to let your mistakes be corrected and an unwillingness to try  again.
W1:95.12  the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth  again and try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt

W1:97.2 We state  again the truth about your Self, the holy Son of God who rests in you

W1:98.4  we heard and answer it, when they have come to make their choice  again. We do not choose but for ourselves today.

W1:98.12  Repeat today's idea while you wait for the glad time to come to you  again. Repeat it often, and do not forget each time you do so, you
W1:98.13  tasks, all little thoughts and limited ideas, and spend a happy time  again with Him. Tell Him once more that you accept the part which He
W1:101.9 So should you start your practice periods, and then attempt  again to find the joy these thoughts will introduce into your mind.
W1:103.3 This basic error we will try  again to bring to truth today and teach ourselves:
W1:106.11  hear the holy Word you hear. And when the hour is past, you will  again release a thousand more who pause to ask that truth be given
W1:107.5  not shift and alter in its form, nor come and go and go and come  again. It stays exactly as it always was, to be depended on in every

W1:109.2  for a while. Here is the thought in which the Son of God is born  again, to recognize himself.
W1:109.7  with broken wings begins to sing, a stream long dry begins to flow  again. The world is born again each time you rest, and hourly

W1:109.8  will hear the bird begin to sing and see the stream begin to flow  again, with hope reborn and energy restored to walk with lightened
W1:R3.11  peace throughout the day as well. If you are shaken, think of it  again. These practice periods are planned to help you form the habit
W1:R3.13  come from these reviews with learning gains so great that we begin  again on solid ground, with firmer footsteps and with stronger faith.
W1:122.2  no dreams of fear and evil, malice, and attack. And when you wake  again, it offers you another day of happiness and peace. All this
W1:122.7 Here is the answer! Do not turn away in aimless wandering  again. Accept salvation now. It is the gift of God and not the world.
W1:122.13 Let not your gifts recede throughout the day, as you return  again to meet a world of shifting change and bleak appearances.
W1:124.1 Today we will  again give thanks for our Identity in God. Our home is safe,
W1:129.5  from timelessness. Here can you but look forward, never back to see  again the world you do not want. Here is the world that comes to take
W1:132.7  and go still farther, or perhaps step back a while and then return  again.
W1:132.10 A lesson earlier repeated once must now be stressed  again, for it contains the firm foundation for today's idea. You are
W1:134.5 —first by themselves for what they think they did and once  again by those who pardon them.
W1:135.27  remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation. And you rise  again from what was seeming death and hopelessness. Now is the light
W1:136.7  upon the whole, successful in effect, and never to be seen as whole  again. And yet you have forgotten that they stand but for your own
W1:136.21  to judgment, or make plans against uncertainties to come, you have  again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity which will
W1:137.3  he be apart and separate. But healing is his own decision to be one  again and to accept his Self with all its parts intact and

W1:138.12  which we awoke. As every hour passed, we have declared our choice  again in a brief quiet time devoted to maintaining sanity. And
W1:139.7 And they will come  again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is
W1:140.11  to us five minutes as the day begins and end the day by listening  again five minutes more before we go to sleep. Our only preparation
W1:R4.1 Now we review  again, this time aware we are preparing for the second part of
W1:R4.12  of His Word. And as you give your mind to the ideas for the day  again before you sleep, His gratitude surrounds you in the peace
W1:R4.12  peace wherein He wills you be forever and are learning now to claim  again as your inheritance.
W1:152.14  Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left will come  again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home to God as it was
W1:153.1  brief relationships and all the “gifts” it merely lends to take away  again, attend this lesson well. The world provides no safety. It is

W1:153.3  in heavy bands of steel with iron overlaid, returning but to start  again. There seems to be no break nor ending in the ever-tightening
W1:154.4  in the mind that God created sinless. Now this mind becomes aware  again of Who created it and of His lasting union with itself. So is
W1:155.8  but from illusions he is saved. As they step back, he finds himself  again.
W1:157.9  your remembrance of what you knew that instant and will surely know  again.
W1:158.4  at which it ended, looking back on it, imagining we make it once  again; reviewing mentally what has gone by.
W1:159.7  what was lost when it was made. For here it is repaired, made new  again but in a different light. What was to be the home of sin
W1:159.9  world into a garden like the one they came from and to which they go  again with added fragrance. Now are they twice blessed. The messages
W1:160.9  they give Him welcome, they remember. And He leads them gently home  again where they belong.
W1:161.8  external to himself, poised to attack and howling to unite with him  again. Mistake not the intensity of rage projected fear must spawn.
W1:163.5  says but this: “Here lies a witness God is dead.” And this it writes  again and still again, while all the while its worshipers agree, and
W1:163.5  lies a witness God is dead.” And this it writes again and still  again, while all the while its worshipers agree, and kneeling down
W1:163.6  else they live and cannot die. No compromise is possible. For here  again we see an obvious position which we must accept if we be sane;
W1:170.14  bless the world with what we have received from You alone. We choose  again and make our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one
W1:R5.1 We now review  again. This time we are ready to give more effort and more time to
W1:R5.1  understanding. We would take this step completely, that we may go on  again more certain, more sincere, with faith upheld more surely. Our
W1:R5.4  more descriptive of the holy Self we share and now prepare to know  again:
W1:R5.9 My resurrection comes  again each time I lead a brother safely to the place at which the
W1:R5.10 Release me as you practice once  again the thoughts I brought to you from Him Who sees your bitter
W1:R5.14  of practice time. And with this thought we sleep, to waken once  again with these same words upon our lips to greet another day. No
W1:R5.15  it is only here conviction lies. We use the words, and try and try  again to go beyond them to their meaning, which is far beyond their
W1:181.4  that, even if you should succeed, you will inevitably lose your way  again. How could this matter? For the past is gone, the future but
W1:182.1  hardly remembered, actively dismissed, but surely to return to mind  again.
W1:182.4 Perhaps you think it is your childhood home that you would find  again. The childhood of your body and its place of shelter are a
W1:182.5  of respite—just an interval in which He can return to breathe  again the holy air that fills His Father's house. You are His home as
W1:182.7  bring you back with Him, that He Himself might stay and not return  again where He does not belong and where He lives an outcast in a

W1:186.9  leaves that form a patterning an instant, break apart to group  again, and scamper off. Or like mirages seen above a desert, rising
W1:190.11 And so  again we make the only choice that ever can be made—we choose
W1:191.10  Who could see the world as dark and sinful when God's Son has come  again at last to set it free?
W1:191.12  Son of God awaken from his sleep, and opening his holy eyes return  again to bless the world he made. In error it began. But it will end
W1:192.6  for His holy Son. Only forgiveness can persuade the Son to look  again upon his holiness. With anger gone, you will indeed perceive
W1:192.8 Who can be born  again in Christ but him who has forgiven everyone he sees or thinks
W1:193.13  that laughter should replace each one and that His Son be free  again.
W1:194.7  may be faulty but will never lack correction. He is free to choose  again when he has been deceived, to change his mind when he has made
W1:194.8  in the hands of God. For thus you call the memory of Him to come  again, replacing all your thoughts of sin and evil with the truth of
W1:195.7  the way is opening at last to us. An ancient door is swinging free  again; a long forgotten Word re-echoes in our memory and gathers

W2:WS.4  birds have come to live within their branches. Earth is being born  again in new perception. Night has gone, and we have come together in
W2:234.1  the time when dreams of sin and guilt are gone and we have reached  again the holy peace we never left. Merely a tiny instant has elapsed
W2:238.2 And so  again today we pause to think how much our Father loves us. And how
W2:241.2 We have forgiven one another now, and so we come at last to You  again. Father, Your Son, who never left, returns to Heaven and his

W2:332.2 We would not bind the world  again today. Fear holds it prisoner. And yet Your Love has given us
W2:334.1  that rest on false perception. Let me not accept such meager gifts  again today. God's Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear
W2:342.1  wondering if I should enter in and be at home. Let me not wait  again today. Let me forgive all things, and let creation be as You

Tx:13.75  the answer. Would you be content with little, which is all that you  alone can offer yourself, when He Who gives you everything will
Tx:13.77  is capable of guiding you to follow it. Every decision you undertake  alone but signifies that you would define what salvation is and what
Tx:13.78  for you is your will. Without His guidance, you will think you know  alone and will decide against your peace as surely as you made the
Tx:13.78  made the wrong decision in ever thinking that salvation lay in you  alone. Salvation is of Him to Whom God gave it for you. He has not
Tx:13.81  given equally to all alike! He leaves you no one outside yourself,  alone without you. And so He gives you what is yours because your

Tx:14.31 You cannot see  alone. Sharing perception with Him Whom God has given you teaches you
Tx:14.31  you see. It is the recognition that nothing you see means anything  alone. Seeing with Him will show you that all meaning, including
Tx:14.54  Separation therefore remains the ego's chosen condition. For no one  alone can judge the ego truly. Yet when two or more join together in
Tx:14.55 It is impossible to remember God in secret and  alone. For remembering Him means you are not alone and willing to
Tx:14.55  God in secret and alone. For remembering Him means you are not  alone and willing to remember it. Take no thought for yourself, for
Tx:14.68  can run some little part or deal with certain aspects of your lives  alone that the guidance of the Holy Spirit is limited. Thus would you
Tx:14.72  for peace and understanding go together and never can be found  alone. Each brings the other with it, for it is the law of God they
Tx:14.75  as surely as it is His. You think you know Him not only because,  alone, it is impossible to know Him. Yet see the mighty works that He
Tx:15.13  theirs. For the instant of holiness is shared, and cannot be yours  alone. Remember, then, when you are tempted to attack a brother, that

Tx:15.31 Remember that you learn not for yourself  alone, no more than I did. It is because I learned for you that you
Tx:15.38  It is not there. Use the holy instant only to recognize that you  alone cannot know where it is and can only deceive yourself.
Tx:15.41  share and that salvation lies in keeping your thoughts to yourself  alone. For in private thoughts, known only to yourself, you think you
Tx:15.41  to yourself, you think you find a way to keep what you would have  alone and share what you would share. And then you wonder why it is
Tx:15.46  of guilt, and to appeal to it for salvation is to believe you are  alone. To be alone is to be guilty. For to experience yourself as
Tx:15.46  and to appeal to it for salvation is to believe you are alone. To be  alone is to be guilty. For to experience yourself as alone is to deny

Tx:15.80  that God and His Son share and will to meet together. You are not  alone in this. The will of your creations calls to you to share your
Tx:15.84  and yet He understands it because you have made it. In Him  alone lies the awareness of what God cannot know and what you do not
Tx:16.4 I am not  alone, and I would not intrude the past upon my Guest. I have invited

Tx:20.19  through which you thread your timid way through constant dangers,  alone and frightened, hoping at most that death will wait a little
Tx:20.30  own. For this you share. What God has given follows His laws and His  alone. Nor is it possible for those who follow them to suffer the
Tx:20.34  Think not that your forgiveness of each other serves but you two  alone. For the whole new world rests in the hands of every two who
Tx:21.42 Remember that the ego is not  alone. Its rule is tempered, and its unknown “enemy,” Whom it cannot
Tx:21.55 Oh yes, you know this and more than this  alone. Yet any part of knowledge threatens dissociation as much as
Tx:21.59  and yourself. For reason would not make way for correction in you  alone.
Tx:21.60  And how could thoughts that enter into what but seems like yours  alone have no effect at all on what is yours? If minds are joined,
Tx:21.64  is your release. Neither your brother nor yourself can be attacked  alone. But neither can accept a miracle instead without the other
Tx:21.68  you of the thanks your Father gives you for completing Him. And here  alone does reason tell you that you can understand what you must be.
Tx:21.71  themselves afraid of it? These are the dark ones, silent and afraid,  alone and not communicating, fearful the power of the Son of God will

Tx:22.10  the messages you have received and failed to understand, this course  alone is open to your understanding and can be understood. This is
Tx:22.12  you, never to “something else.” Where Christ has entered, no one is  alone, for never could He find a home in separate ones. Yet must He
Tx:22.22 Forsake not now each other. For you who are the same will not decide  alone nor differently. Either you give each other life or death;
Tx:22.40  it together, for it is but a veil that stands between you. Either  alone will see it as a solid block, nor realize how thin the drapery

Tx:22.47  in quiet, undefended and wholly undefending, for in this quiet state  alone is strength and power. Here can no weakness enter, for here is
Tx:22.50  an illusion. And therefore feel that you are weak because you are  alone. This is the cost of all illusions. Not one but rests on the
Tx:22.54  the power to heal all pain, regardless of its form. Neither of you  alone can serve at all. Only in your joint will does healing lie. For

Tx:24.8  Specialness can never share, for it depends on goals that you  alone can reach. And he must never reach them, or your goal is
Tx:24.21  of what He is unto Himself, not given to His Son but kept for Him  alone. And it is this you fear, for if He is not special, then He
Tx:24.24  but your tiny self. Nothing is sacred here but unto you and you  alone, apart and separate from all your brothers, safe from all

Tx:24.63 The memory of God shines not  alone. What is within your brother still contains all of creation,
Tx:25.20  offered to everyone who shares His purpose. It is not His Will to be  alone. And neither is it yours.
Tx:25.27  not. Everyone here has entered darkness, yet no one has entered it  alone. [Nor need he stay more than an instant.] For he has come with
Tx:25.37  the cause and aim and justifier of the other. Each is meaningless  alone, but seems to draw a meaning from the other. Each depends upon
Tx:25.40  you return to him what is his due that you may share in it with him.  Alone does neither have it. So must it remain useless to both.
Tx:25.40  the role God gave to him. But think not Heaven is lost to him  alone. Nor can it be regained unless the way is shown to him through
Tx:25.41  let yours be. And so you walk toward Heaven or toward hell, but not  alone. How beautiful his sinlessness will be when you perceive it!
Tx:25.46  instead of harm. To each He gives a special function in salvation he  alone can fill—a part for only him. Nor is the plan complete until
Tx:25.62  fulfilled. Salvation is His Will because you share it. Not for you  alone but for the Self which is the Son of God. He cannot lose, for
Tx:25.63 —that you prefer He take it than that you keep it for yourself  alone and recognize that what brings loss to no one you would not
Tx:26.3  sign that sacrifice is limited and something still remains for you  alone. And for this little to belong to you are limits placed on

Tx:21.24 We have  already said that wishful thinking is how the ego deals with what it
Tx:21.37  for its recognition is at hand. Join your awareness to what has been  already joined. The faith you give each other can accomplish this.
Tx:21.43  with what is part of you in truth. And your belief in sin has been  already shaken, nor are you now entirely unwilling to look within and
Tx:21.45  your reason tells you, and it follows perfectly from what you have  already learned.
Tx:21.69  to it. Where could his freedom lie but in himself if he be free  already? And who could bind him but himself if he deny his freedom?
Tx:21.76 You have  already answered the first three questions but not yet the last. For

Tx:26.72  here and now. Yet only here and now its cause must be if its effects  already have been judged as fearful. And in overlooking this, is it
Tx:26.72  and kept separate from healing. For a miracle is now. It stands  already here in present grace, within the only interval of time which
Tx:26.73  wait till they unfold in time and fear they may not come, although  already there? You have been told that everything brings good that
Tx:26.75 Yet this illusion has a cause which, though untrue, must be  already in your mind. And this illusion is but one effect which it
Tx:27.36  must be a way in which your problems are resolved, for what He wills  already has been done.
Tx:27.37  a way of reaching to another state of mind in which the answer is  already there. Such is the holy instant. It is here that all your
Tx:28.28  accept a miracle, you do not add your dream of fear to one that is  already being dreamed. Without support, the dream will fade away
Tx:30.10 But there will still be times when you have judged  already. Now the answer will provoke attack unless you quickly
Tx:30.14  this rule without delay despite your opposition. For you have  already gotten angry, and your fear of being answered in a different

W1:40.4 I am blessed as a Son of God. I  am happy, peaceful, loving, and contented.
W1:40.6 I  am blessed as a Son of God. I am calm, quiet, assured, and confident.
W1:40.6 I am blessed as a Son of God. I  am calm, quiet, assured, and confident.
W1:46.9 God is the Love with which I love myself. God is the Love in which I  am blessed.
W1:46.11 I cannot be guilty because I  am a Son of God. I have already been forgiven. No fear is possible in
W1:51.3  because my judgments have been made quite apart from reality. I  am willing to recognize the lack of validity in my judgments because
W1:51.5 [4] These thoughts do not mean anything. The thoughts of which I  am aware do not mean anything because I am trying to think without
W1:51.5  The thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything because I  am trying to think without God. What I call “my” thoughts are not my
W1:51.5  real thoughts. My real thoughts are the thoughts I think with God. I  am not aware of them because I have made my thoughts to take their
W1:51.5  aware of them because I have made my thoughts to take their place. I  am willing to recognize that my thoughts do not mean anything and to
W1:51.6 [5] I  am never upset for the reason I think. I am never upset for the
W1:51.6 [5] I am never upset for the reason I think. I  am never upset for the reason I think because I am constantly trying
W1:51.6  reason I think. I am never upset for the reason I think because I  am constantly trying to justify “my” thoughts. I am constantly trying
W1:51.6  I think because I am constantly trying to justify “my” thoughts. I  am constantly trying to make them true. I make all things my
W1:51.6  a thought system which has hurt me and which I no longer want. I  am willing to let it go.
W1:52.2 [6] I  am upset because I see what is not there. Reality is never
W1:52.2  that it could upset me. Reality brings only perfect peace. When I  am upset, it is always because I have replaced reality with illusions
W1:52.2  God's creation is affected in any way by this confusion of mine. I  am always upset by nothing.
W1:52.3  them my “enemies.” When I have forgiven myself and remembered who I  am, I will bless everyone and everything I see. There will be no past
W1:52.4  the present from dawning on my mind. Let me understand that I  am trying to use time against God. Let me learn to give the past
W1:52.4  Let me learn to give the past away, realizing that in so doing I  am giving up nothing.
W1:52.6  have no private thoughts. Yet it is only private thoughts of which I  am aware. What can these thoughts mean? They do not exist, and so
W1:53.2  are showing me a meaningless world. Since the thoughts of which I  am aware do not mean anything, the world which pictures them can have
W1:53.3 [12] I  am upset because I see a meaningless world. Insane thoughts are
W1:53.3  and chaos has no laws. I cannot live in peace in such a world. I  am grateful that this world is not real and that I need not see it at
W1:53.4  this, I will escape all the effects of the world of fear because I  am acknowledging that it does not exist.
W1:53.6  I see reflects my thoughts. It is my thoughts which tell me where I  am and what I am. The fact that I see a world in which there is
W1:53.6  my thoughts. It is my thoughts which tell me where I am and what I  am. The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss
W1:53.6  world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I  am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts and am not
W1:53.6  that I am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts and  am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their beneficent light on
W1:54.4 [18] I  am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing. If I have no
W1:54.5 [19] I  am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts. I am alone
W1:54.5 [19] I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts. I  am alone in nothing. Everything I think or say or do touches all the
W1:54.6 [20] I  am determined to see. Recognizing the shared nature of my thoughts, I
W1:54.6  determined to see. Recognizing the shared nature of my thoughts, I  am determined to see. I would look upon the witnesses that show me
W1:55.2 [21] I  am determined to see things differently. What I see now are but signs
W1:55.2  not understand His Son. What I see tells me that I do not know who I  am. I am determined to see the witnesses to the truth in me, rather
W1:55.2  His Son. What I see tells me that I do not know who I am. I  am determined to see the witnesses to the truth in me, rather than
W1:55.5  How could I recognize my own best interests when I do not know who I  am? What I think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to
W1:55.5  interests would merely bind me closer to the world of illusions. I  am willing to follow the Guide God has given me to find out what my
W1:56.2  thoughts are attacking my invulnerability. How can I know who I  am when I see myself as under constant attack? Pain, illness, loss,
W1:56.3  I want to see. Recognizing that what I see reflects what I think I  am, I realize that vision is my greatest need. The world I see
W1:56.3  nature of the self-image I have made. If I would remember who I  am, it is essential that I let this image of myself go. As it is
W1:56.6  that all is one forever. I have not lost the knowledge of who I  am because I have forgotten it. It has been kept for me in the Mind
W1:56.6  for me in the Mind of God, Who has not left His thoughts. And I, who  am among them, am one with them and one with Him.
W1:56.6  of God, Who has not left His thoughts. And I, who am among them,  am one with them and one with Him.
W1:57.2 [31] I  am not the victim of the world I see. How can I be the victim of a
W1:57.3  prison in which I see myself. All I need do is recognize this, and I  am free. I have deluded myself into believing it is possible to
W1:57.6 [35] My mind is part of God's. I  am very holy. As I share the peace of the world with my brothers, I
W1:58.5  have accepted my holiness, nothing can make me afraid. And because I  am unafraid, everyone must share in my understanding, which is the
W1:58.6 [40] I  am blessed as a Son of God. Herein lies my claim to all good and only
W1:58.6  as a Son of God. Herein lies my claim to all good and only good. I  am blessed as a Son of God. All good things are mine because God
W1:58.6  me. I cannot suffer any loss or deprivation or pain because of who I  am. My Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things.
W1:58.6  in all things. His care for me is infinite and is with me forever. I  am eternally blessed as His Son.
W1:59.2  me through Him? Let me not cherish illusions about myself. I  am perfect because God goes with me wherever I go.
W1:59.5  see. I cannot see in darkness. God is the only Light. Therefore if I  am to see, it must be through Him. I have tried to define what seeing
W1:60.3  which I forgive. It is through the strength of God in me, which I  am remembering as I forgive. As I begin to see, I recognize His
W1:60.5  fails to direct my thoughts, guide my actions, and lead my feet. I  am walking steadily on toward truth. There is nowhere else I can go,
W1:60.6 [50] I  am sustained by the Love of God. As I listen to God's Voice, I am
W1:60.6 [50] I am sustained by the Love of God. As I listen to God's Voice, I  am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His love lights up the
W1:60.6  upon the world with the vision He has given me, I remember that I  am His Son.
W1:61.6 I  am the light of the world. That is my only function. That is why I am
W1:61.6 I am the light of the world. That is my only function. That is why I  am here.

W1:68.10  holds no grievances. When I let all my grievances go, I will know I  am perfectly safe.
W1:74.6 I  am at peace. Nothing can disturb me. My will is God's My will and
W1:76.13 I  am under no laws but God's.
W1:77.8 I  am entitled to miracles.
W1:81.2 [61] I  am the light of the world. How holy am I, who have been given the
W1:81.2 [61] I am the light of the world. How holy  am I, who have been given the function of lighting up the world! Let
W1:81.2  let all my conflicts disappear. In its peace, let me remember who I  am.
W1:83.2  it means I cannot have conflicting goals. With one purpose only, I  am always certain what to do, what to say, and what to think. All
W1:84.2 [67] Love created me like Itself. I  am in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot suffer, I cannot
W1:84.2  I cannot suffer, I cannot experience loss, and I cannot die. I  am not a body. I would recognize my reality today. I will worship no
W1:84.2  no idols nor raise my own self-concepts to replace my Self. I  am in the likeness of my Creator. Love created me like Itself.
W1:84.5  attack love and keep its light obscure. If I hold grievances I  am attacking love and therefore attacking my Self. My Self thus
W1:84.5  and therefore attacking my Self. My Self thus becomes alien to me. I  am determined not to attack my Self today, so that I can remember who
W1:84.5  determined not to attack my Self today, so that I can remember who I  am.
W1:86.5  will not work. Yet only His plan will work. By holding grievances, I  am therefore excluding my only hope of salvation from my awareness. I
W1:86.7 I  am choosing between misperception and salvation as I look on this. If
W1:87.5 [74] There is no will but God's. I  am safe today because there is no will but God's. I can become afraid
W1:87.5  I believe that there is another will. I try to attack only when I  am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I believe that my
W1:87.5  threatened. Today I will recognize that all this has not occurred. I  am safe because there is no will but God's.
W1:88.5 [76] I  am under no laws but God's. Here is the perfect statement of my
W1:88.5  no laws but God's. Here is the perfect statement of my freedom. I  am under no laws but God's. I am constantly tempted to make up other

W1:89.4 Behind this is a miracle to which I  am entitled. Let me not hold a grievance against you [name], but

W2:222.1  of life, the life within, the air I breathe, the food by which I  am sustained, the water which renews and cleanses me. He is my home,
W2:224.2  still is known to You. I have forgotten it and do not know where I  am going, who I am, or what it is I do. Remind me, Father, now, for I

W2:224.2  going, who I am, or what it is I do. Remind me, Father, now, for I  am weary of the world I see. Reveal what You would have me see
W2:227.1 Father, it is today that I  am free because my will is Yours. I thought to make another will. Yet
W2:227.1  will. Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. And I  am free because I was mistaken and did not affect my own reality at
W2:228.1  true what He proclaims as false? Or shall I take His Word for what I  am since He is my Creator and the One Who knows the true condition of
W2:228.2  enter in a body and to die. My holiness remains a part of me, as I  am part of You. And my mistakes about myself are dreams. I let them
W2:228.2  And I stand ready to receive Your Word alone for what I really  am.
W2:229.1  and find it in these words: “Love, Which created me, is what I  am.” Now need I seek no more. Love has prevailed. So still it waited

W2:236.1 I have a kingdom I must rule. At times, it does not seem I  am its king at all. It seems to triumph over me and tell me what to
W2:238.1  has been so great I must be worthy. You created me and know me as I  am. And yet You placed Your Son's salvation in my hands and let it
W2:243.1  are all that I can see. Today I recognize that this is so. And so I  am relieved of judgment which I cannot make. Thus do I free myself
W2:243.2  leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in which I  am included. We are one because each part contains Your memory, and
W2:247.1  me. Let me accept what His sight shows me as the simple truth and I  am healed completely. Brother, come and let me look on you. Your
W2:248.1  self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy Son of God. Now  am I ready to accept him back as God created him, and as he is.
W2:248.2  for You returns and lets me love Your Son again as well. Father, I  am as You created me. Now is Your Love remembered and my own. Now do

W2:261.1  I perceive my strength and think I live within the citadel where I  am safe and cannot be attacked. Let me today seek not security in
W2:261.1  is everlasting peace. And only there will I remember who I really  am.

W2:267.1  His Name, and every one is answered by His Voice, assuring me I  am at home in Him.
W2:271.1 Each day, each hour, every instant, I  am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the
W2:272.1  satisfy Your Son? I will accept no less than You have given me. I  am surrounded by Your Love, forever still, forever gentle, and
W2:274.1  the love of brother to his brother and his friend. Through this I  am redeemed. Through this as well the truth will enter where
W2:276.2  to all my brothers, who are given me to cherish as my own, as I  am loved and blessed and saved by You.

W2:278.1  If I am bound in any way, I do not know my Father or my Self. And I  am lost to all reality. For truth is free, and what is bound is not a

W2:288.1  on the way to You. His sins are in the past along with mine. And I  am saved because the past is gone. Let me not cherish it within my
W2:289.1  past is over in my mind, the real world must escape my sight. For I  am really looking nowhere, seeing but what is not there. How can I
W2:289.2  left untouched and free of sin. Here is the end of guilt. And here  am I made ready for Your final step. Shall I demand that You wait
W2:290.2  fail to hear me, Father. What I ask have You already given me, and I  am sure that I will see my happiness today.
W2:294.1 I  am a Son of God. And can I be another thing as well? Did God create

W2:296.1  the world may listen to Your Voice and hear Your Word through me. I  am resolved to let You speak through me, for I would use no words but
W2:298.1 My gratitude permits my love to be accepted without fear. And thus  am I restored to my reality at last. All that intruded on my holy
W2:298.2  any way but Yours. You are beside me. Certain is Your way. And I  am grateful for Your holy gifts of certain sanctuary and escape from
W2:301.1 Father, unless I judge I cannot weep. Nor can I suffer pain or feel I  am abandoned and unneeded in the world. This is my home because I
W2:303.1  Son is born. Let earthly sounds be quiet and the sights to which I  am accustomed disappear. Let Christ be welcomed where He is at home,
W2:303.2  made. He is the Self that You have given me. He is but what I really  am in truth. He is the Son You love above all things. He is my Self
W2:306.1  all fear and be restored to love and holiness and peace. Today I  am redeemed and born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of
W2:308.2 Thanks for this instant, Father. It is now I  am redeemed. This instant is the time You have appointed for Your
W2:WILJ.5  changeless and forever pure. Therefore awaken and return to Me. I  am your Father and you are My Son.”
W2:315.1 Each day a thousand treasures come to me with every passing moment. I  am blessed with gifts throughout the day, in value far beyond all
W2:316.1  added. Let me come to where my treasures are and enter in where I  am truly welcome and at home among the gifts that God has given me.
W2:317.1  I take this part as what I choose to do. Until I make this choice, I  am the slave of time and human destiny. But when I willingly and
W2:318.1  that stands aside or one of more or less importance than the rest? I  am the means by which God's Son is saved because salvation's purpose
W2:318.1  which God has placed in me. I was created as the thing I seek. I  am the goal the world is searching for. I am God's Son, His one
W2:318.1  as the thing I seek. I am the goal the world is searching for. I  am God's Son, His one Eternal Love. I am salvation's means and end as
W2:318.1  the world is searching for. I am God's Son, His one Eternal Love. I  am salvation's means and end as well.
W2:320.1  and lays before it all the strength and love in earth and Heaven. I  am he to whom all this is given. I am he in whom the power of my
W2:320.1  and love in earth and Heaven. I am he to whom all this is given. I  am he in whom the power of my Father's Will abides.
W2:324.1  One Who gave the plan for my salvation to me. You have set the way I  am to go, the role to take, and every step in my appointed path. I
W2:326.1  was created in Your Mind, a holy thought that never left its home. I  am forever Your Effect, and You forever and forever are my Cause. As
W2:326.1  that Cause and Its Effect are indistinguishable. Let me know that I  am an Effect of God, and so I have the power to create like You. And
W2:327.1 I  am not asked to take salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith.
W2:328.2 There is no will but Yours. And I  am glad that nothing I imagine contradicts what You would have me be.
W2:329.1  and interposed a second will more powerful than Yours. Yet what I  am in truth is but Your Will, extended and extending. This am I. And
W2:329.1  what I am in truth is but Your Will, extended and extending. This  am I. And this will never change. As You are One, so am I one with
W2:329.1  extending. This am I. And this will never change. As You are One, so  am I one with You. And this I chose in my creation, where my will

Tx:12.68  can you find yourself in such a world? Without the Holy Spirit, the  answer would be no. Yet because of Him, the answer is a joyous yes!
Tx:12.68  the Holy Spirit, the answer would be no. Yet because of Him, the  answer is a joyous yes! As Mediator between the two worlds, He knows
Tx:13.40  and what to seek. When you have learned this, you will find the  answer that makes the need for any differences disappear. Truth comes

Tx:16.25  He is both God and you, as you are God and Him together. For God's  answer to the separation added more to you than you tried to take
Tx:16.40  help which rises ceaselessly from you to your Creator. Would He not  answer you whose completion is His? He loves you wholly without

Tx:31.17  and are lost. But hear the other, and you join with him, and in your  answer is salvation found. The voice you hear in him is but your own.
Tx:31.18 Before you  answer, pause to think of this:
Tx:31.19 The  answer that I give my brother is what I am asking for. And what I
Tx:31.21  your equal in God's love, you will be saved from all appearances and  answer to the Christ Who calls to you. Be still and listen. Think not
Tx:31.21  tenderness, seeing no leaders and no followers and hearing but one  answer to them all. Because He hears one Voice, He cannot hear a
Tx:31.21  to them all. Because He hears one Voice, He cannot hear a different  answer from the one He gave when God appointed Him His only Son.
Tx:31.24  It takes perhaps a different form in him, but it is not the form you  answer to. He asks and you receive, for you have come with but one
Tx:31.27  attack them everywhere, except you hate yourself? Are you a sin? You  answer “yes” whenever you attack, for by attack do you assert that
Tx:31.36  starts but do not yet perceive what it is for? Its purpose is the  answer to the search that all must undertake who still believe there
Tx:31.36  search that all must undertake who still believe there is another  answer to be found. Learn now, without despair, there is no hope of
Tx:31.36  answer to be found. Learn now, without despair, there is no hope of  answer in the world. But do not judge the lesson which is but begun
Tx:31.56  of the world. And everyone believes that he must find the  answer to the riddle of himself. Salvation can be seen as nothing
Tx:31.56  and what it is. And vaguely does the concept of the self appear to  answer what it does not know.
Tx:31.80  it merely asks, “What is the meaning of what I behold?” Then is the  answer given. And the door held open for the face of Christ to shine

W1:71.7 How can you escape all this? Very simply. The idea for today is the  answer. Only God's plan for salvation will work. There can be no real

W1:77.10 Remember, too, not to be satisfied with less than the perfect  answer. Be quick to tell yourself, should you be tempted:
W1:79.2  if he thinks the problem is something else? Even if he is given the  answer, he cannot see its relevance.
W1:79.3 That is the position in which you find yourselves now. You have the  answer, but you are still uncertain about what the problem is. A long

W1:90.7 I need not wait for this to be resolved. The  answer to this problem is already given me if I will accept it. Time

W1:186.13  He knows that you have everything already. He has thoughts which  answer every need His Son perceives, although He sees them not. For

Tx:9.106 Only if you accept the Fatherhood of God will you have  anything, because His fatherhood gave you everything. That is why to
Tx:10.5 You have learned your need of healing. Would you bring  anything else to the Sonship, recognizing your need of healing for
Tx:10.31  your mind needs to learn what salvation is. You are not saved from  anything, but you are saved for glory. Glory is your inheritance,
Tx:10.34 Only you can deprive yourself of  anything. Do not oppose this realization, for it is truly the
Tx:10.41  “ego dynamics” by understanding that the term itself does not mean  anything. In fact, it contains exactly the contradiction in terms
Tx:10.41  fallacy lies in the belief that the ego has the power to do  anything. The ego is fearful to you because you believe this. Yet the
Tx:10.42 All power is of God. What is not of Him has no power to do  anything.
Tx:10.56  its source. Yet reasoning without meaning cannot demonstrate  anything, and those who are convinced by it must be deluded. Can the
Tx:10.76 You do not know the meaning of  anything you perceive. Not one thought you hold is wholly true. The
Tx:10.80  only by asking will you learn that nothing that is of God demands  anything of you. God gives; He does not take.
Tx:10.83  but has the answer in him, to give to anyone who asks it of him. Ask  anything of God's Son and His Father will answer you, for Christ is
Tx:11.1  in its own right, and to believe in truth, you do not have to do  anything. Understand that you do not respond to stimuli, but to
Tx:11.3  to him, for this and only this is what he is asking for. Offer him  anything else, and you are assuming the right to attack his reality
Tx:11.24  and follow me. This is what I meant: If you had no investment in  anything in this world, you could teach the poor where their treasure
Tx:11.44  that nothing happened. Therefore, by attacking you have not done  anything. Once you realize this, there is no longer any sense in
Tx:11.53  perceive your Soul, but you will not know it while you perceive  anything else as more valuable.
Tx:11.70  for its reality is only what you gave it. You cannot really give  anything but love to anyone or anything, nor can you really receive
Tx:11.70  you gave it. You cannot really give anything but love to anyone or  anything, nor can you really receive anything else from them. If you
Tx:11.70  anything but love to anyone or anything, nor can you really receive  anything else from them. If you think you have received anything
Tx:11.70  receive anything else from them. If you think you have received  anything else, it is because you have looked within and thought you
Tx:13.1  not consider where it is because the concept “where” does not mean  anything to it. It knows that it is everywhere, just as it has
Tx:13.46  accomplished. You will be released, and you will not remember  anything you made that was not created for you and by you in return.
Tx:13.52  will lead you where the Holy Spirit leads you not goes nowhere.  Anything you deny which He knows to be true, you have denied
Tx:13.73  directed in and out and influencing a constellation larger than  anything you ever dreamed of. Those who accept the Atonement are
Tx:13.74  There is nothing their wills will not provide that offers them  anything of value. Yet because they do not understand their will, the
Tx:13.89  you release them, they are gone. God will not fail nor ever has in  anything.
Tx:14.1  not endow Him with attributes you understand. You made Him not, and  anything you understand is not of Him.
Tx:14.19  them with each other. And so you do not realize that only one means  anything, and the other is wholly without sense of any kind.
Tx:14.21  the purpose of language is communication, how can this tongue mean  anything? Yet even this strange and twisted effort to communicate
Tx:14.31  what you see. It is the recognition that nothing you see means  anything alone. Seeing with Him will show you that all meaning,
Tx:14.35  separation vanishes. Unite with what you are. You cannot join with  anything except reality. God's glory and His Son's belong to you in
Tx:14.47  of his Father dawns on him, and he can no longer be satisfied with  anything but his own reality. You on earth have no conception of
Tx:14.47  to live in is a world of limits. In this world, it is not true that  anything without order of difficulty can occur. The miracle,
Tx:14.60  yourselves. Let it all go. Do not attempt to understand any event or  anything or anyone in its light, for the light of darkness by which
Tx:14.62  Never believe that any lesson you have learned apart from Him means  anything.
Tx:14.65 I do not know what  anything, including this, means. And so I do not know how to respond
Tx:14.72  for learning by thinking they already know. Think not you understand  anything until you pass the test of perfect peace, for peace and
Tx:14.73  so by abandoning the ego on behalf of Him. Call not upon the ego for  anything. It is only this that you need do. The Holy Spirit will, of
Tx:15.22  strange belief that littleness can content you. When you strive for  anything in this world with the belief that it will bring you peace,
Tx:15.30  is not sacrifice to wake to glory. But it is a sacrifice to accept  anything less than glory. Learn that you must be worthy of the Prince
Tx:15.32  will know you are complete, in need of nothing, and unable to accept  anything for yourself. But you will gladly give, having received. The
Tx:15.32  gladly give, having received. The host of God need not seek to find  anything.
Tx:15.45  impossible without the past, for without it you do not understand  anything. You would make no attempt to judge because it would be
Tx:15.45  because it would be quite apparent to you that you do not know what  anything means. You are afraid of this because you believe that
Tx:15.91  attract you and when you place no value on it as a means for getting  anything, then there will be no interference in communication, and
Tx:15.92  of guilt does stand between them. Neither time nor season means  anything in eternity. But here it is the Holy Spirit's function to
Tx:16.3 Your part is only to remember this—you do not want  anything you value to come of the relationship. You will neither to
Tx:16.19  for you, nor will you ever do so. You have never tried to solve  anything yourself and been successful. Is it not time you brought
Tx:17.6  will be complete or will be not at all.] Be not concerned with  anything except your willingness to have this be accomplished. He
Tx:17.7  those you forgive will look to you? In no fantasy have you ever seen  anything so lovely. Nothing you see here, sleeping or waking, comes
Tx:17.9 This step, the smallest ever taken by  anything, is still the greatest accomplishment of all in God's plan
Tx:17.27  does not share His purpose can be real. The purpose God ascribed to  anything is its only function. Because of His reason for creating His
Tx:17.58  The situation becomes the determiner of the outcome, which can be  anything. The reason for this disorganized approach is evident. The
Tx:17.62  part in its accomplishment. This is inevitable. No one will fail in  anything. This seems to ask for faith beyond you and beyond what you
Tx:17.66  of bodies is the sign of faithlessness, for bodies cannot solve  anything. And it is their intrusion on the relationship, an error in
Tx:18.46 When you feel the holiness of your relationship is threatened by  anything, stop instantly and offer the Holy Spirit your willingness
Tx:18.60  with something past, present, or anticipated. The “something” can be  anything and anywhere—a sound, a sight, a thought, a memory, and
Tx:18.69 To do  anything involves the body. And if you recognize you need do nothing,
Tx:19.10  gift of freedom from the past, which you received. You do not use  anything your brother has done before to condemn him now. You freely
Tx:19.46  uprooted and floating aimlessly, can land and settle briefly upon  anything, for it has no purpose now. Before the Holy Spirit entered
Tx:19.73 Why should the body be  anything to you? Certainly what it is made of is not precious. And
Tx:19.88 When  anything seems to you to be a source of fear, when any situation
Tx:19.109  his choice by what he gives and what is given him. Nor is it given  anything in hell or Heaven to interfere with his decision.
Tx:20.33 The plan is not of you, nor need you be concerned with  anything except the part that has been given you to learn. For He Who
Tx:20.37  was held outside them and finding what was lost. Only in time can  anything be lost, and never lost forever. So do the parts of God's
Tx:21.1  with vision is healed and holy. Nothing perceived without it means  anything. And where there is no meaning, there is chaos.
Tx:21.8  just a little wisp of melody, attached not to a person or a place or  anything particular. But you remember from just this little part how
Tx:21.10  is joined in perfect continuity. Nor is it possible to imagine that  anything could be outside, for there is nowhere that this light is
Tx:21.21  idea you have enshrined upon your altars and which you worship. And  anything which threatens this seems to attack your faith, for here is
Tx:21.37  because you are afraid. The gift that He has given you is more than  anything that stands this side of Heaven. The instant for its
Tx:21.72  in dreams? Any way at all. It could be seen attacking anyone with  anything. Dreams have no reason in them. A flower turns into a
Tx:22.11  you thought was you. He was not given there, nor was received by  anything except yourself. For no two people can unite except through
Tx:22.13  is part of Him is worthy of being joined. Nor is it possible that  anything not part of Him can join. Communication must have been
Tx:22.27  as it would have it be. Here is no separate will nor the desire that  anything be separate. Its will has no exceptions, and what it wills
Tx:22.45  need no defense. Everything that needs defense you do not want, for  anything that needs defense will weaken you.
Tx:22.50 Forget not, when you feel the need arise to be defensive about  anything, you have identified yourself with an illusion. And
Tx:22.56  bring is your remembrance of everything that is eternal. No trace of  anything in time can long remain in minds that serve the timeless.
Tx:22.62  will not remember this while you believe attack of any kind means  anything. It is unjustified in any form because it has no meaning.
Tx:23.14  in conflict with each other. And this occurs whenever you look on  anything that God created with anything but love. Conflict is
Tx:23.14  And this occurs whenever you look on anything that God created with  anything but love. Conflict is fearful, for it is the birth of fear.
Tx:23.54  the battleground can offer something that you can win. Can it be  anything that offers you a perfect calmness and a sense of love so
Tx:24.22  And only specialness could make the truth of God and you as one seem  anything but Heaven and the hope of peace at last in sight.
Tx:24.28  specialness is not the truth in you. It can be thrown off balance by  anything. What rests on nothing never can be stable. However large
Tx:24.59  self-created, self-maintained, in need of nothing, and unjoined with  anything beyond the body. In its eyes, you are a separate universe
Tx:24.62  the tiniest attack, the whispered doubt, the hint of threat, or  anything but deepest reverence. This is your son, beloved of you as
Tx:25.6  from which it never separates nor gives the slightest witness unto  anything the purpose in your mind upholdeth not. Perception is a part
Tx:25.13  from the world you see? In no respect at any time or place has  anything but fear and guilt been your reward. How long is needed for
Tx:25.26  of the world, the simultaneous Corrector of the mad belief that  anything could be established and maintained without some link that
Tx:25.53  it takes. Who thinks the world is sane in any way, is justified in  anything it thinks, or is maintained by any form of reason believes
Tx:25.56  must limit you. The Son of God cannot be bound by time nor place nor  anything God did not will. Yet if His Will is seen as madness, then
Tx:25.73 To him who merits everything, how can it be that  anything be kept from him? For that would be injustice and unfair
Tx:26.1  the rest. Look at the world, and you will see nothing attached to  anything beyond itself. All seeming entities can come a little nearer
Tx:26.17  justice is loved instead of feared. He cannot be unjust to anyone or  anything because He knows that everything that is belongs to Him and
Tx:26.19  beyond the scope of this curriculum. Nor is it necessary we dwell on  anything that cannot be immediately grasped. There is a borderland of
Tx:26.34  you would keep and make eternal passed away in Heaven too soon for  anything to notice it had come. What disappeared too quickly to
Tx:26.44  Anything in this world that you believe is good and valuable and
Tx:26.49  are opposite to truth, and what is true of knowledge is not true of  anything that is apart from it. Yet has God given answer to the world
Tx:26.57  guaranteed when He created him as everything. It is impossible that  anything be lost if what you have is what you are. This is the
Tx:27.3  to suffer pain, to be deprived, unfairly treated, or in need of  anything, you but accuse your brother of attack upon God's Son. You
Tx:27.7  you love. Depression speaks of death and vanity of real concern with  anything at all. The strongest witness to futility, which bolsters
Tx:27.36  light. You are in conflict. Thus it must be clear you cannot answer  anything at all, for conflict has no limited effects. Yet if God gave
Tx:27.81  seen at once that these ideas are one illusion, too ridiculous for  anything but to be laughed away. How serious they now appear to be!
Tx:28.3 Nothing employed for healing represents an effort to do  anything at all. It is a recognition that you have no needs which
Tx:28.14  And in seeing this, he understands he never had a need for doing  anything and never did. His Cause is Its effects. There never was a
Tx:28.37  both become illusions and without identity. You could be anyone or  anything, depending on whose evil dream you share. You can be sure of
Tx:29.35  appear to be. For you would understand how great the cost of holding  anything God did not give in minds that can direct the hand to bless
Tx:29.58  beyond where God has set all things forever and has left no room for  anything to be except His Will. Nothing and nowhere must an idol be
Tx:29.65  because he thinks the thoughts are real. And so he makes of  anything a toy to make his world remain outside himself, and play
Tx:30.30  your happiness. You always ask advice before you can decide on  anything. Let this be understood, and you can see there cannot be
Tx:30.57  dear. No rules are idly set, and no demands are made of anyone or  anything to twist and fit into the dream of fear. Instead, there is a
Tx:30.59  but remains until it is made perfect in himself. He has no wish for  anything but this. And fear has dropped away because he is united in
Tx:30.67 There never was a time an idol brought you  anything except the “gift” of guilt. Not one was bought except at
Tx:30.90  from his reality. For that is changeless and has no effects which  anything in Heaven or on earth could ever alter. But appearances are
Tx:31.14  set two choices to be made each time you think you must decide on  anything. Neither is true. Nor are they different. Yet must we see
Tx:31.57  and nothing is outside of this perception. If you can be hurt by  anything, you see a picture of your secret wishes. Nothing more than

W1:14.9 The idea for today can, of course, be applied to  anything that disturbs you during the day, aside from the practice

W1:21.3  anger in you, and nothing that you believe in this connection means  anything. You will probably be tempted to dwell more on some
W1:25.1 Purpose is meaning. Today's idea explains why nothing you see means  anything. You do not know what it is for. Therefore it is meaningless
W1:25.2  This false identification makes you incapable of understanding what  anything is for. As a result, you are bound to misuse it. When you

W1:28.4  It is a commitment which applies to the table just as much as to  anything else, neither more nor less.
W1:29.1 The idea for today explains why you can see all purpose in  anything. It explains why nothing is separate, by itself or in

W1:51.2 [1] Nothing I see means  anything. The reason this is so is that I see nothing, and nothing
W1:51.4 [3] I do not understand  anything I see. How could I understand what I see when I have judged
W1:51.5 [4] These thoughts do not mean  anything. The thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything
W1:51.5  do not mean anything. The thoughts of which I am aware do not mean  anything because I am trying to think without God. What I call “my”

W1:52.6 [10] My thoughts do not mean  anything. I have no private thoughts. Yet it is only private thoughts
W1:53.2  world. Since the thoughts of which I am aware do not mean  anything, the world which pictures them can have no meaning. What is

W1:59.4  see apart from Him. I can see what God wants me to see. I cannot see  anything else. Beyond His Will lie only illusions. It is these I
W1:60.4  safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It will not look  anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything I see

W1:93.5  not the Son of God. Therefore, this self does not exist at all. And  anything it seems to do and think means nothing. It is neither bad
W1:102.2  is purposeless, without a cause, and with no power to accomplish  anything. It cannot purchase anything at all. It offers nothing and

W1:166.14  mind becomes the proof that who accepts God's gifts can never suffer  anything. You are entrusted with the world's release from pain.
W1:167.7  not. Yet mind is mind, awake or sleeping. It is not its opposite in  anything created nor in what it seems to make when it believes it

W1:189.7  the past has taught nor one belief you ever learned before from  anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly

W2:WIC.5  we know we have no need of learning or perception or of time, or  anything except the holy Self, the Christ Whom God created as His Son.
W2:273.2 Father, Your peace is mine. What need have I to fear that  anything can rob me of what You would have me keep? I cannot lose
W2:286.1  I come to understand the lesson that there is no need that I do  anything. In You is every choice already made. In You has every

W2:313.1  In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for He sees no sin in  anything He looks upon. Now let His true perception come to me that I
W2:WICR.1  all that It created was not there. Nor will there be a time when  anything that It created suffers any change. Forever and forever are
W2:333.2  light but this can save the world. For this alone will never fail in  anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son.
W2:340.2 Be glad today! Be glad! There is no room for  anything but joy and thanks today. Our Father has redeemed His Son

Tx:11.10  else as an appeal for help, He has taught you that fear is an  appeal for help. This is what recognizing it really means. If you do

Tx:15.46  could guilt not enter? For separation is the source of guilt, and to  appeal to it for salvation is to believe you are alone. To be alone
Tx:16.44  is the ego's most boasted gift, and one which has the most  appeal to those unwilling to relinquish guilt. The “dynamics” of the
Tx:16.51 The  appeal of hell lies only in the terrible attraction of guilt, which

Tx:18.62  self which takes place with your desire for it is the irresistible  appeal the holy instant holds. It calls to you to be yourself within
Tx:19.25  it and yearns for it, making itself a willing captive to its sick  appeal. Sin is an idea of evil that cannot be corrected and will be
Tx:19.27  over with obviously distressing results but without the loss of its  appeal. And suddenly you change its status from a sin to a mistake.
Tx:19.44  for they are all the same. Each is a gentle winning over from the  appeal of guilt to the appeal of love. How can this fail to be
Tx:19.44  same. Each is a gentle winning over from the appeal of guilt to the  appeal of love. How can this fail to be accomplished, wherever it is
Tx:19.44  all that seems to stand between you must fall away because of the  appeal you answered. For from you who answered, He Who answered you
Tx:19.46  pointlessly, causing no more than tiny interruptions in love's  appeal.
Tx:19.86 The fear of death will go as its  appeal is yielded to love's real attraction. The end of sin, which

Tx:21.90  appeal to you to recognize what He has given you? Here is the great  appeal to reason; the awareness of what is always there to see, the
Tx:23.25  misery. For now He has become the “enemy” Who caused it and to Whom  appeal is useless. Nor can salvation lie within the Son, whose every
Tx:27.32  No preparation can be made that would enhance the invitation's real  appeal. For what you leave as vacant, God will fill, and where He is,
Tx:30.58  as the sole cause of pain in any form. No one is tempted by its vain  appeal, for suffering and death have been perceived as things not
Tx:30.91  so. Yet it is an assertion that some forms of idols have a powerful  appeal which makes them harder to resist than those you would not
Tx:31.8  with a gentle friendliness. Nothing but calls to you in soft  appeal to be your friend and let it join with you. And never does a

Tx:8.118  the only way, to have His answer because His answer is all you can  ask for and want. Say, then, to everyone,
Tx:9.16  how appropriately can you expect him to react? You might still  ask yourself, regardless of how you can account for the reactions,
Tx:9.43  Your littleness is taken for granted there, and you do not  ask, “Who granted it?” The question is meaningless within the ego's
Tx:9.58  can attack it or prevail over it. It does not vary. It merely is.  Ask the Holy Spirit what it is and He will tell you, but do not be
Tx:9.61  how much is up to you. When anything threatens your peace of mind,  ask yourself,
Tx:9.79  from God through me to you. It was for you, although you did not  ask.
Tx:10.12  own will and therefore do not know what it is. The reason you must  ask what God's Will is in everything is merely because it is yours.
Tx:10.12  do not know what it is, but the Holy Spirit remembers it for you.  Ask Him, therefore, what God's Will is for you, and He will tell you
Tx:10.20  fills your mind so that He becomes your only Guest. Whenever you  ask the ego to enter, you lessen His welcome. He will remain, but you
Tx:10.75  that they do not understand what they perceive, and so they  ask what it means. Do not make the mistake of believing that you
Tx:10.75  As long as you think you know its meaning, you will see no need to  ask it of Him.
Tx:10.77  except from himself. Yet God will not refuse the answer He gave you.  Ask, then, for what is yours but which you did not make, and do not
Tx:10.77  yourself against truth. You made the problem which God has answered.  Ask yourselves, therefore, but one simple question—
Tx:10.80  could be more specific than to be told very clearly that if you  ask you will receive. The Holy Spirit will answer every specific
Tx:10.81 You are refusing to  ask because you believe that asking is taking, and you do not
Tx:10.81  only to restore, be capable of misinterpreting the question you must  ask to learn His answer?
Tx:10.82  but you have misunderstood the question. You have believed that to  ask for guidance of the Holy Spirit is to ask for deprivation. Little
Tx:10.82  You have believed that to ask for guidance of the Holy Spirit is to  ask for deprivation. Little Children of God, you do not understand
Tx:10.83 Blessed are you who will  ask the truth of God without fear, for only thus can you learn that
Tx:10.83  that it is in you. God's Sons have nothing which they do not share.  Ask for truth of any Son of God, and you have asked it of me. No one
Tx:10.83  us but has the answer in him, to give to anyone who asks it of him.  Ask anything of God's Son and His Father will answer you, for Christ
Tx:10.85  What problems will not disappear in the presence of God's answer?  Ask, then, to learn of the reality of your brother because this is
Tx:10.88  ghosts and monsters and dragons, and they are terrified. Yet if they  ask someone they trust for the real meaning of what they perceive and
Tx:10.89  Ask what they are of the Teacher of Reality, and hearing His answer,
Tx:10.89  perceive truly, they are not afraid. And because of this, they will  ask for truth again when they are frightened. It is not the reality
Tx:10.89  are, and so you perceive them as ghosts and monsters and dragons.  Ask of their reality from the One who knows it, and He will tell you
Tx:11.17  which terrify them because they do not understand them. If they  ask for enlightenment and accept it, their fears vanish, but if they
Tx:11.27 Recognize what does not matter, and if your brothers  ask you for something “outrageous,” do it because it does not matter.
Tx:11.48  the ability to generalize is a crucial learning failure. Would you  ask those who have failed to learn what learning aids are for? They
Tx:11.80  it, but you cannot lose it. A Voice will answer every question you  ask, and a Vision will correct the perception of everything you see.
Tx:11.81 You have but to  ask for this memory, and you will remember. Yet the memory of God
Tx:12.20  did not give it, for the request was alien to Him, and you could not  ask this of a Father Who truly loved His Son. Therefore you made of
Tx:12.45  made and cherish instead of him. In your questioning of illusions,  ask yourself if it is really sane to perceive what was now. If you
Tx:12.54  to your own awareness. Love always leads to love. The sick who  ask for love are grateful for it, and in their joy, they shine with
Tx:12.69  and so you lose whatever you have gotten in its name. Therefore  ask not of yourselves what you need, for you do not know and your
Tx:13.75  Who gives you everything will simply offer it to you? He will never  ask what you have done to make you worthy of the gift of God. Ask it
Tx:13.75  never ask what you have done to make you worthy of the gift of God.  Ask it not therefore of yourselves. Instead, accept His answer, for
Tx:13.76  it. Make no decisions about what it is or where it lies, but  ask of the Holy Spirit everything and leave all decisions to His
Tx:13.88  For what He knows not cannot be and therefore cannot be given.  Ask not to be forgiven, for this has already been accomplished. Ask,
Tx:13.88  Ask not to be forgiven, for this has already been accomplished.  Ask, rather, to learn how to forgive and restore what always was to
Tx:14.8  him in his creation. Do not try to steal it from him, or you will  ask for guilt and will experience it. Protect his purity from every
Tx:14.64  You need only recognize that everything you learned you do not want.  Ask to be taught and do not use your experiences to confirm what you
Tx:15.12  thought of how long it would take to change your mind so completely,  ask yourself, “How long is an instant?” Could you not give so short a
Tx:15.42  communication while breaking communication holds value to you.  Ask yourselves honestly, “Would I want to have perfect communication,
Tx:15.93  incapable of receiving sacrifice as God is, and every sacrifice you  ask of yourself, you ask of me. Learn now that sacrifice of any kind
Tx:15.93  sacrifice as God is, and every sacrifice you ask of yourself, you  ask of me. Learn now that sacrifice of any kind is nothing but a
Tx:16.9  of it. Leave Him His function, for He will fulfill it if you but  ask Him to enter your relationships and bless them for you.
Tx:17.2  it also makes it unreal. You cannot be faithful to two masters who  ask of you conflicting things. What you use in fantasy, you deny to
Tx:17.62  This is inevitable. No one will fail in anything. This seems to  ask for faith beyond you and beyond what you can give. Yet this is so
Tx:17.66  used against truth will always destroy faith. If you lack faith,  ask that it be restored where it was lost and seek not to have it
Tx:18.32  do more. Do not attempt to give the Holy Spirit what He does not  ask, or you will add the ego unto Him and confuse the two. He asks
Tx:18.34 Humility will never  ask that you remain content with littleness. But it does require that
Tx:18.36 You merely  ask the question. The answer is given. Seek not to answer it, but
Tx:18.42  is its function. Never attempt to overlook your guilt before you  ask the Holy Spirit's help. That is His function. Your part is only
Tx:18.81  which would interfere with its glad coming. In the holy instant, you  ask of love only what it offers everyone, neither less nor more.
Tx:19.54  contains no fear which you laid not upon it. And none you cannot  ask love's messengers to remove from it and see it still. The Holy
Tx:19.60  This “sacrifice” you feel to be too great to make, too much to  ask of you.
Tx:19.65  forgiveness, he will remember who he is and forget what never was. I  ask for your forgiveness, for if you are guilty, so must I be. But if
Tx:19.70  lies disillusionment and the seeds of faithlessness, but only if you  ask of it what it cannot give. Can your mistake be reasonable grounds
Tx:19.85  nor twisted rituals of condemnation to which the body leads you.  Ask not release of it. But free it from the merciless and unrelenting
Tx:20.23  Ask not this transient stranger, “What am I?” He is the only thing in
Tx:20.23  through the universe of truth, becomes your guide. To it you turn to  ask the meaning of the universe. And of the one blind thing in all
Tx:20.23  And of the one blind thing in all the seeing universe of truth you  ask, “How shall I look upon the Son of God?”
Tx:20.24 Does one  ask judgment of what is totally bereft of judgment? And if you have,
Tx:20.24  to bless the other? That is the purpose of your holy relationship.  Ask not the means of its attainment of the one thing that still would
Tx:20.31  be imprisoned. It is of them who learned of freedom that you should  ask what freedom is. Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars, for
Tx:20.31  of them who learned of freedom that you should ask what freedom is.  Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars, for those with little wings
Tx:20.35  the way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems impossible to you. But  ask yourself if it is possible that God would have a plan for your
Tx:20.66  question should not be, “How can I see my brother without the body?”  Ask only, “Do I really wish to see him sinless?” And as you ask,
Tx:20.66  body?” Ask only, “Do I really wish to see him sinless?” And as you  ask, forget not that his sinlessness is your escape from fear.
Tx:20.68  your desire but to receive it. Vision is freely given to those who  ask to see.
Tx:20.69  and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace will come to all who  ask for it with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the
Tx:21.38  be exacted of a body and by another body. The mind could neither  ask it nor receive it of itself. And no more could the body. The
Tx:21.43  sin? This “fearful” question is one the ego never asks. And you who  ask it now are threatening the ego's whole defensive system too
Tx:21.52  in it, but if the basic question stems from reason, it will not  ask it. Like all that stems from reason, the basic question is
Tx:21.54  of you that knows His Will and shares it. It is not meaningful to  ask if what must be is so. But it is meaningful to ask why you are
Tx:21.54  not meaningful to ask if what must be is so. But it is meaningful to  ask why you are unaware of what is so, for this must have an answer
Tx:21.58  shifted, and you have asked the question which the ego will never  ask. Does not your reason tell you now the question must have come
Tx:21.74  let sin tell him that his enemy must be himself. But let him only  ask himself these questions, which he must decide to have it done for
Tx:21.78  look on the effects of sin in any form, all you need do is simply  ask yourself,
Tx:21.88 Reason will tell you that you cannot  ask for happiness inconstantly. For if what you desire you receive
Tx:21.88  what you desire you receive and happiness is constant, then you need  ask for it but once to have it always. And if you do not have it
Tx:21.88  And if you do not have it always, being what it is, you did not  ask for it. For no one fails to ask for his desire of something he
Tx:21.88  being what it is, you did not ask for it. For no one fails to  ask for his desire of something he believes holds out some promise of
Tx:21.88  it. He may be wrong in what he asks, where, and of what. Yet he will  ask because desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one whom
Tx:21.90  to you. For here the final question is already answered and what you  ask for given. Here is the future now, for time is powerless because
Tx:23.40  you sure the goal of Heaven can be reached? If not, you walk alone.  Ask, then, your Friend to join with you and give you certainty of
Tx:24.31  is the hell you chose to be your home. He chose not this for you.  Ask not He enter this. The way is barred to love and to salvation.
Tx:24.33  God asks your mercy on His Son and on Himself. Deny them not. They  ask of you but that your will be done. They seek your love that you
Tx:24.65  Ask yourself this: can you protect the mind? The body, yes, a little
Tx:25.66 You who know not of justice still can  ask and learn the answer. Justice looks on all in the same way. It is
Tx:25.70 Yet justice cannot punish those who  ask for punishment but have a Judge Who knows that they are wholly
Tx:25.71  bereft of justice and vitality and powerless to save? What can Love  ask of you who think that all of this is true? Could He, in justice
Tx:25.74  truly. Simple justice asks no more. Of each one does the Holy Spirit  ask if he will be that one, so justice may return to love and there
Tx:26.5  who would see the witnesses to truth instead of to illusion merely  ask that they might see a purpose in the world that gives it sense
Tx:26.10 It is not difficult to understand the reasons why you do not  ask the Holy Spirit to solve all problems for you. He has not greater
Tx:26.14  he condemned, and he deserves no mercy from the God of justice. But  ask not God to punish him because you find him guilty and would have
Tx:26.15  One is given you to see in him his perfect sinlessness. And you will  ask no sacrifice of him because you could not will he suffer loss.
Tx:26.58 Here does the Son of God  ask not too much but far too little. He would sacrifice his own
Tx:26.78 Is it too much to  ask a little trust for him who carries Christ to you, that you may be
Tx:26.87  perceived to be unfair and not your just deserts. Yet it is you who  ask this of yourself in deep injustice to the Son of God. You have no
Tx:27.38  outside a single simple question is ever asked. The world can only  ask a double question with many answers, none of which will do. It
Tx:27.38  question with many answers, none of which will do. It does not  ask a question to be answered, but only to restate its point of view.
Tx:27.41  the response should be. But no one in a conflict state is free to  ask this question, for he does not want an honest answer where the
Tx:27.42  it answers questions truly asked. The questions of the world but  ask of whom is sacrifice demanded, asking not if sacrifice is
Tx:27.44  And it is born the instant it is offered and received. No one can  ask another to be healed. But he can let himself be healed and thus
Tx:28.20  are the happy dreams the miracle exchanges for your own. It does not  ask you make another—only that you see you made the one you would
Tx:28.60 God asks for nothing, and His Son, like Him, need  ask for nothing. For there is no lack in him. An empty space, a
Tx:29.61  they raise him up? Hear then your story in the dream you made, and  ask yourself if it be not the truth that you believe that it is not a
Tx:30.6  major problem now. You still make up your mind and then decide to  ask what you should do. And what you hear may not resolve the problem
Tx:30.10  this has happened if you feel yourself unwilling to sit by and  ask to have the answer given you. This means you have decided by
Tx:30.10  cannot see the question. Now you need a quick restorative before you  ask.
Tx:30.24  brought to your awareness, for you cannot be in conflict when you  ask for what you want and see that it is this for which you ask.
Tx:30.24  when you ask for what you want and see that it is this for which you  ask.
Tx:30.27 Thus you now can  ask a question that makes sense, and so the answer will make sense as
Tx:30.29  you decide. For they are made with idols or with God. And you  ask help of Christ or anti-Christ, and which you choose will join
Tx:30.30  whose counsel you have sought perceives your happiness. You always  ask advice before you can decide on anything. Let this be understood,
Tx:30.37  free apart from Him Whose holy will you share. God turns to you to  ask the world be saved, for by your own salvation it is healed. And
Tx:30.38  it is your will that everything be yours. Decide for idols, and you  ask for loss. Decide for truth, and everything is yours.
Tx:30.41  what you think it offers you, you want indeed and have the right to  ask for. Nor could it be possible it be denied. Your will to be
Tx:30.91  appearances you do not like. You have established limits. What you  ask is given you, but not of God Who knows no limits. You have
Tx:31.17  found. The voice you hear in him is but your own. What does he  ask you for? And listen well! For he is asking what will come to you
Tx:31.64 Salvation does not  ask that you behold the Spirit and perceive the body not. It merely
Tx:31.93 Deny me not the little gift I  ask when in exchange I lay before your feet the peace of God and
Tx:31.93  in salvation, do not fail to hear my voice and listen to my words. I  ask for nothing but your own release. There is no place for hell
W1:22.5 At the end of each practice period,  ask yourself:
W1:23.3  a pictorial representation of your own attack thoughts. One can well  ask if this can be called seeing. Is not fantasy a better word for
W1:28.4  we have already defined. And the purpose of these exercises is to  ask questions and receive the answers. In saying, “Above all else I
W1:39.14  made some three or four times an hour and more if possible, you may  ask yourself this question, repeat today's idea, or preferably both.
W1:71.10  extended practice periods to asking God to reveal His plan to us.  Ask Him very specifically:
W1:72.11  do not recognize. Now we are going to try to lay judgment aside and  ask what God's plan for us is:
W1:72.14  Now we would see and hear and learn. “What is salvation, Father?”  Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you will find.
W1:72.15  Be certain, then, that the answer will be true because of Whom you  ask. Whenever you feel your confidence wane and your hope of success
W1:77.3  that the Kingdom of God is within you and can never be lost. We  ask no more than what belongs to us in truth. Today, however, we will
W1:77.5  that the Will of God be done. In doing this, you do not really  ask for anything. You state a fact that cannot be denied.
W1:77.9  Ask for them whenever a situation arises in which they are called
W1:77.9  them, you are therefore fully entitled to receive them whenever you  ask.
W1:78.6  name has crossed your mind already. He will be the one of whom we  ask God's Son be shown to us. Through seeing him behind the
W1:78.8 Then let us  ask of Him Who knows this Son of God in his reality and truth that we
W1:78.8  savior shining in the light of true forgiveness given unto us. We  ask Him in the holy Name of God and of His Son, as holy as Himself:
W1:78.9  behold my savior in this one You have appointed as the one for me to  ask to lead me to the holy light In which he stands, that I may join
W1:79.7 In our longer practice periods today, we will  ask what the problem is and what is the answer to it. We will not
W1:79.7  we have only one problem, which we have failed to recognize. We will  ask what it is and wait for the answer. We will be told. Then we will
W1:79.7  what it is and wait for the answer. We will be told. Then we will  ask for the solution to it. And we will be told.
W1:79.12  what the problem is. If possible, close your eyes for a moment and  ask what it is. You will be heard and you will be answered.
W1:91.10 If you are not a body, what are you?  Ask this in honesty, and then devote several minutes to allowing your
W1:92.8  to give itself away because it cannot give but to itself. No one can  ask in vain to share its sight, and none who enters its abode can
W1:94.6  truth. God has Himself promised that it will be revealed to all who  ask for it. You are asking now. You cannot fail because He cannot
W1:101.2  be true. The sinful warrant only death and pain, and it is this they  ask for, for they know it waits for them and it will seek them out
W1:104.6  this we lay aside and seek instead that which is truly ours, as we  ask to recognize what God has given us.
W1:106.10  Ask and expect an answer. Your request is one whose answer has been
W1:106.11  hour is past, you will again release a thousand more who pause to  ask that truth be given them along with you.
W1:107.8  wills these dreams be gone. Let truth correct them all. We do not  ask for what we do not have. We merely ask for what belongs to us,
W1:107.8  correct them all. We do not ask for what we do not have. We merely  ask for what belongs to us, that we may recognize it as our own.
W1:107.10  your Father knows that you are both the same. It is your Self you  ask to go with you, and how could He be absent where you are?
W1:109.1 We  ask for rest today and quietness unshaken by the world's appearances.
W1:109.1  for rest today and quietness unshaken by the world's appearances. We  ask for peace and stillness in the midst of all the turmoil born of
W1:109.1  in the midst of all the turmoil born of clashing dreams. We  ask for safety and for happiness, although we seem to look on danger
W1:121.5  what it sees bears witness that its judgment is correct. It does not  ask because it thinks it knows. It does not question, certain it is
W1:126.7  His gifts and think He has not given them to you. Yet would He  ask you for a gift unless it was for you? Could He be satisfied with
W1:126.8  But the Help you need is there. Give Him your faith today and  ask Him that He share your practicing in truth today. And if you only
W1:126.10  are changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat today's idea, and  ask for help in understanding what it really means. Be willing to be
W1:131.3  it is the search for nothingness, and while you seek for life you  ask for death. You look for safety and security while in your heart
W1:131.11 No one can fail who asks to reach the truth, and it is truth we  ask to reach today. We will devote ten minutes to this goal three
W1:131.11  will devote ten minutes to this goal three times today, and we will  ask to see the rising of the real world to replace the foolish images
W1:131.13 I  ask to see a different world and think a different kind of thought
W1:133.2 You do not  ask too much of life, but far too little. When you let your mind be
W1:133.2  concerns, to things you buy, to eminence as valued by the world, you  ask for sorrow, not for happiness. This course does not attempt to
W1:134.9  mind to dwell on what you think he did, for this is self-deception.  Ask instead, “Should I accuse myself of doing this?”
W1:134.15  the meaning of forgiveness and was sent to us to teach it. Let us  ask of Him:
W1:134.17  consider all the evil things you thought of him, and each time  ask yourself “Would I condemn myself for doing this?”
W1:135.4  real and terror justified. Is it not strange you do not pause to  ask, as you elaborate your plans and make your armor thicker and your
W1:136.15  is our aim today. And we will give a quarter of an hour twice to  ask the truth to come to us and set us free.
W1:137.12  invite your Self to be at home, and can this invitation be refused?  Ask the inevitable to occur, and you will never fail. The other
W1:137.12  to occur, and you will never fail. The other choice is but to  ask what cannot be to be, and this cannot succeed. Today we ask that
W1:137.12  but to ask what cannot be to be, and this cannot succeed. Today we  ask that only truth will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing
W1:139.2 Yet who could  ask this question except one who has refused to recognize himself?
W1:139.5  There is no doubt of this, and yet you doubt it. But you do not  ask what part of you can really doubt yourself. It cannot really be a
W1:139.7  and in your own. It is so far beyond all doubt and question that to  ask what it must be is all the proof you need to show that you
W1:151.2  question what is shown you through the body's eyes. Nor do you  ask why you believe it, even though you learned a long while since
W1:152.14  will we wait in silence, giving up all self-deceptions as we humbly  ask our Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left will
W1:154.5  he delivers. Nor does he question the right of him who does nor  ask why he has chosen those who will receive the message that he
W1:157.4 He will direct your practicing today, for what you  ask for now is what He wills. And having joined your will with His
W1:160.8  belongs where He has set His Son forever. He has answered you who  ask, “Who is the stranger?” Hear His Voice assure you, quietly and
W1:161.10  you, for you will not perceive that in his hands is your salvation.  Ask him but for this, and he will give it to you. Ask him not to
W1:161.10  is your salvation. Ask him but for this, and he will give it to you.  Ask him not to symbolize your fear. Would you request that love
W1:161.12 Select one brother, symbol of the rest, and  ask salvation of him. See him first as clearly as you can in that
W1:161.13  Ask this of him that he may set you free:
W1:165.4  the gift, how changed your mind will be before it comes to you.  Ask to receive, and it is given you. Conviction lies within it. Till
W1:165.5  Ask with desire. You need not be sure that you request the only thing
W1:167.10  he sleeps and sees in dreams an opposite to what he is? We will not  ask for death in any form today. Nor will we let imagined opposites
W1:168.3 Today we  ask of God the gift He has most carefully preserved within our
W1:169.11 And now we  ask for grace, the final gift salvation can bestow. Experience that
W1:169.13  And revelation stands not far behind. Its coming is ensured. We  ask for grace and for experience that comes from grace. We welcome
W1:169.13  from grace. We welcome the release it offers everyone. We do not  ask for the unaskable. We do not look beyond what grace can give. For
W1:169.14  this prayer, yet in the world, what could be more than what we  ask this day of Him Who gives the grace we ask as it was given Him?
W1:169.14  be more than what we ask this day of Him Who gives the grace we  ask as it was given Him?
W1:170.6  it alone, love is endowed with attributes of fear. For love would  ask you lay down all defense as merely foolish. And your arms indeed
W1:170.7  them. Harsh punishment is meted out relentlessly to those who  ask if the demands are sensible or even sane. It is their enemies who
W1:181.9 Nor do we  ask for fantasies. For what we seek to look upon is really there. And
W1:181.10  into the present. And we give our trust to the experience we  ask for now. Our sinlessness is but the Will of God. This instant is
W1:182.5  His voice cries unto you to let Him rest a while. He does not  ask for more than just a few instants of respite—just an interval
W1:182.11  Christ has called you friend and brother. He has even come to you to  ask your help in letting Him go home completed and completely. He has
W1:185.7  These words do not request another dream be given us. They do not  ask for compromise nor try to make another bargain in the hope that
W1:185.8  of your mind to find the dreams you cherish still. What do you  ask for in your heart? Forget the words you use in making your
W1:185.10  who seem to seek for dreams. For them as well as for yourself you  ask but this when you make this request with deep sincerity. For thus
W1:185.12  established as His own eternal gift. How can you fail when you but  ask for what He wills for you? And how could your request be limited
W1:186.3  you the perfect trust He holds in you who are His Son. It does not  ask that you be different in any way from what you are. What could
W1:189.8  forever. God will do His part in joyful and immediate response.  Ask and receive. But do not make demands nor point the road to God by

W2:230.1  my Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever. Now I  ask but to be what I am. And can this be denied me, when it is
W2:242.2  so we give today to You. We come with wholly open minds. We do not  ask for anything that we may think we want. Give us what You would
W2:254.1  to receive Your Word. I have no prayer but this: I come to You to  ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your Will, which I would
W2:269.1 I  ask Your blessing on my sight today. It is the means which You have
W2:269.1  and through His lessons to surpass perception and return to truth. I  ask for the illusion which transcends all those I made. Today I
W2:272.2  call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn aside and  ask ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams
W2:278.2 Father, I  ask for nothing but the truth. I have had many foolish thoughts about
W2:285.1  with joy, expecting but the happy things of God to come to me. I  ask but them to come and realize my invitation will be answered by
W2:285.1  by the thoughts to which they have been sent by me. And I will  ask for only joyous things the instant I accept my holiness. For what
W2:290.2 With this resolve, I come to You and  ask Your strength to hold me up today while I but seek to do Your
W2:290.2  but seek to do Your Will. You cannot fail to hear me, Father. What I  ask have You already given me, and I am sure that I will see my

W2:323.1 Here is the only “sacrifice” You ask of Your beloved Son—You  ask him to give up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all
W2:323.1  and giving him Your own eternal joy. Such is the “sacrifice” You  ask of me, and one I gladly make, the only “cost” of restoration of

W2:WIM.4 The miracle is taken first on faith because to  ask for it implies the mind has been made ready to conceive of what

W2:E.1  answer and will gladly give it to you if you simply turn to Him and  ask it of Him. He will not withhold all answers that you need for
W2:E.1  and resolve all doubts. His certainty is yours. You need but  ask it of Him, and it will be given you.
W2:E.6  trust all things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we  ask His Will in everything we do. He loves God's Son as we would love
M:4.9  for a long, long time. He must learn to lay all judgment aside and  ask only what he really wants in every circumstance. Were not each
M:5.9  The simple presence of a teacher of God is a reminder. His thoughts  ask for the right to question what the patient has accepted is true.
M:5.9  As God's messengers, His teachers are the symbols of salvation. They  ask the patient for forgiveness for God's Son in his own name. They
M:6.1  even try to destroy himself. Having nothing to live for, he may  ask for death. Healing must wait, for his protection.
M:11.1 This is a question everyone must  ask. Certainly peace seems to be impossible. Yet the Word of God
M:11.2 Again we come to the question of judgment. This time,  ask yourself whether your judgment or the Word of God is more likely
M:21.1  all in healing. The motivating factor is prayer, or asking. What you  ask for, you receive. But this refers to the prayer of the heart, not
M:21.2  help the healing process. The prayer of the heart does not really  ask for concrete things. It always requests some kind of experience,
M:23.3  for help? What did he say about this? Remember his promises, and  ask yourself honestly whether it is likely that he will fail to keep
M:26.4  to be escaped. Salvation is not theoretical. Behold the problem,  ask for the answer, and then accept it when it comes. Nor will its
M:29.2  aspects are under the Holy Spirit's particular care and guidance.  Ask and He will answer. The responsibility is His, and He alone is
M:29.5  his Creator and accept His gifts. And His gifts have no limit. To  ask the Holy Spirit to decide for you is simply to accept your true
M:29.5  which this course is most concerned. If you have made it a habit to  ask for help when and where you can, you can be confident that wisdom
M:29.5  for this each morning, remember God when you can throughout the day,  ask the Holy Spirit's help when it is possible to do so, and thank
M:29.6  not let his child harm himself or choose his own destruction. He may  ask for injury, but his father will protect him still. And how much
M:29.7  is but illusion. And He has given you the means to prove it so.  Ask all things of His Teacher, and all things are given you. Not in

Tx:4.77  in all these diversionary tactics, the one question which is never  asked by those who pursue them is, “What for?”
Tx:5.46 Joining the Atonement, which I have repeatedly  asked you to do, is always a way out of fear. This does not mean that

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

Tx:8.109  this must be true if no effort is wasted. The very fact that one has  asked the Holy Spirit for anything will ensure a response. Yet it is

Tx:12.20  could not obtain it in your right minds. You were at peace until you  asked for special favor. And God did not give it, for the request was

Tx:18.64  your sight, but it has not yet completely disappeared. You are not  asked to let this happen for more than an instant, yet it is in this
Tx:19.41  still stands between you. Would you reinforce it now? You are not  asked to let it go for yourselves alone. Christ asks it of you for
Tx:19.43  You have no purpose apart from each other nor apart from the one you  asked the Holy Spirit to share with you. The little wall will fall
Tx:19.49  with messages written in the language in which their going forth was  asked.
Tx:19.64  not glad that Heaven cannot be sacrificed, and sacrifice cannot be  asked of you? There is no obstacle which you can place before our

Tx:20.11  The Son of God looks unto you for his release. For you have  asked for and been given the strength to look upon this final
Tx:20.18  not deciding first where they would have it be. Their looking merely  asked a question, and it was what they saw that answered them. You
Tx:20.23  only thing in all the universe that does not know. Yet it is he you  asked, and it is to his answer that you would adjust. This one wild
Tx:20.24  have given it power to adjust the world to make its answer true. You  asked this puff of madness for the meaning of your unholy
Tx:20.60 To obtain the goal, the Holy Spirit indeed  asked little. He asks no more to give the means as well. The means
Tx:21.13 We have repeated how little is  asked of you to learn this course. It is the same small willingness
Tx:21.15  goal I would achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me, I  asked for and received as I had asked.
Tx:21.15  that seems to happen to me, I asked for and received as I had  asked.

Tx:21.22  All that is asked of you is to make room for truth. You are not  asked to make or do what lies beyond your understanding. All you are
Tx:21.22  asked to make or do what lies beyond your understanding. All you are  asked to do is let it in; only to stop your interference with what
Tx:21.58  come very close to this. Faith and belief have shifted, and you have  asked the question which the ego will never ask. Does not your reason
Tx:21.83  unsure the others have been answered? Could it be necessary they be  asked so often, if they had? Until the last decision has been made,
Tx:21.90  because of your desire for what will never change. For you have  asked that nothing stand between the holiness of your relationship
Tx:22.58  world released. This is your part in bringing peace. For you have  asked what is your function here and have been answered. Seek not to
Tx:23.24  respond, believing it. It is not seen as even necessary that He be  asked about the truth of what has been established for His belief.
Tx:23.47  enters, and what is all the same cannot conflict. You are not  asked to fight against your wish to murder. But you are asked to
Tx:23.47  You are not asked to fight against your wish to murder. But you are  asked to realize the form it takes conceals the same intent. And it
Tx:24.3  Hold back but one belief, one offering, and love is gone because you  asked a substitute to take its place. And now must war, the
Tx:24.60 Now you are merely  asked that you pursue another goal with far less vigilance—with
Tx:24.60  to the dedication to the truth as God established it no sacrifice is  asked, no strain called forth, and all the power of Heaven and the
Tx:25.64  such a state of mind. But be you thankful that only little faith is  asked of you. What but a little faith remains to those who still
Tx:25.71  in love believe in your confusion you have much to give? You are not  asked to trust Him far. No further than what you see He offers you
Tx:26.4  the other. The memory of God must be denied if any sacrifice is  asked of anyone. What witness to the wholeness of God's Son is seen
Tx:26.87  he be deprived of what he is, denied the right to be himself, and  asked to sacrifice his Father's love and yours as not his due?
Tx:27.38  could be found. Nowhere outside a single simple question is ever  asked. The world can only ask a double question with many answers,
Tx:27.38  to be answered, but only to restate its point of view. All questions  asked within this world are but a way of looking, not a question
Tx:27.38  asked within this world are but a way of looking, not a question  asked. A question asked in hate cannot be answered, because it is an
Tx:27.38  world are but a way of looking, not a question asked. A question  asked in hate cannot be answered, because it is an answer in itself.
Tx:27.41  Only within the holy instant can an honest question honestly be  asked. And from the meaning of the question does the meaningfulness
Tx:27.42 An honest answer asks no sacrifice because it answers questions truly  asked. The questions of the world but ask of whom is sacrifice
Tx:27.42  enough to hear an answer which is not entailed within the question  asked. It offers something new and different from the question. How
Tx:27.47  whispers, “What is there to fear?” Consider well its question. It is  asked of you on your behalf. A dying world asks only that you rest an
Tx:28.5  of injustices and hurts which you were saving, this is what you  asked its message be, and this is what it is. Committed to its
Tx:28.20  the victim in a dying body slain. But in forgiving dreams is no one  asked to be the victim and the sufferer. These are the happy dreams
Tx:28.35  there. And they will meet with your invited Guests the miracle has  asked to come to you.
Tx:29.13 Your Guest has come. You  asked Him, and He came. You did not hear Him enter, for you did not
Tx:29.17  What, then, becomes of you, for it is you of whom the sacrifice is  asked? For He is told that part of Him belongs to Him no longer. He
Tx:29.18 The body that is  asked to be a god will be attacked because its nothingness has not
Tx:29.19 As “something” is the body  asked to be God's enemy, replacing what He is with littleness and
Tx:29.32  Father's Son and not for any purpose you may see in him. Nothing is  asked of you but to accept the changeless and eternal that abide in
Tx:29.59  answers, each depending on the one of whom the question has been  asked. The world believes in idols. No one comes unless he worshiped
Tx:30.11  has occurred which is not part of it. Then realize that you have  asked a question by yourself and must have set an answer in your
Tx:30.31  day you want you offer to the world, for it will be what you have  asked for and will reinforce the rule of your advisor in the world.
Tx:30.32  understand that they cannot decide alone to guarantee the joy they  asked for will be wholly shared. For they have understood the basic
Tx:30.42  of him away? What is not whole cannot make whole. But what is really  asked for cannot be denied. Your will is granted. Not in any form
Tx:30.55  not there, and not to look upon the unreal as reality. You are but  asked to let your will be done and seek no longer for the things you
Tx:30.55  done and seek no longer for the things you do not want. And you are  asked to let yourself be free of all the dreams of what you never
Tx:30.56  without the toys of terror that you made. No more than this is  asked. Be glad indeed salvation asks so little, not so much. It asks
Tx:30.70  For it is on this forgiveness rests and is but natural. You are not  asked to offer pardon where attack is due and would be justified. For
Tx:30.71  attack that calls for punishment. Salvation does not lie in being  asked to make unnatural responses which are inappropriate to what is
Tx:30.71  what has not occurred. If pardon were unjustified, you would be  asked to sacrifice your rights when you return forgiveness for
Tx:30.71  rights when you return forgiveness for attack. But you are merely  asked to see forgiveness as the natural reaction to distress which
Tx:30.92  the miracle cannot come forth from you consistently. For you have  asked it be withheld from power to heal all dreams. There is no
Tx:31.22  the truth of what you really want. No more than this will you be  asked to learn. But as you hear it, you will understand you need but
Tx:31.32  or yourself. For God has said there is no sacrifice that can be  asked; there is no sacrifice that can be made.
Tx:31.50  to teach that you are something else. For otherwise you would be  asked to make exchange of what you now believe for total loss of
Tx:31.72  you be willing that this happy change occur. No more than this is  asked. On its behalf, remember what the concept of yourself which now
W1:I.5  others will seem quite startling. It does not matter. You are merely  asked to apply them to what you see. You are not asked to judge them
W1:I.5  You are merely asked to apply them to what you see. You are not  asked to judge them nor even to believe them. You are asked only to

W1:39.4  every question that was ever asked, is being asked now, or will be  asked in the future. Your holiness means the end of guilt and

W1:98.6  of complete success. And since time has no meaning, you are being  asked for nothing in return for everything. Here is a bargain that
W1:100.8  idea contains. Then realize your part is to be happy. Only this is  asked of you or anyone who wants to take his place among God's
W1:100.8  means. You have indeed been wrong in your belief that sacrifice is  asked. You but receive according to God's plan and never lose or
W1:108.12  gave it. You will find you have exact return, for this is what you  asked. It might be helpful, too, to think of one to whom to give your
W1:R3.3  because you are unwilling to devote the time to it which you are  asked to give. Do not deceive yourself in this. Unwillingness can be
W1:134.2  is easily corrected when you can accept the fact that pardon is not  asked for what is true. It must be limited to what is false. It is
W1:139.7  yourself and not to be aware of what you are. Only acceptance can be  asked of you, for what you are is certain. It is set forever in the
W1:139.9  way rejoicing in the endless Love of God. It is but this that we are  asked to do. It is but this that we will do today.

Tx:18.39  that you need understand nothing. Salvation is easy just because it  asks nothing that you cannot give right now.
Tx:19.38  you see outside you, but of this you can be sure: the Holy Spirit  asks that you offer Him a resting-place where you will rest in Him.
Tx:19.39 The gratitude you owe to Him He  asks but that you receive for Him. And when you look with gentle

Tx:20.58  requires almost nothing of you. It is impossible to imagine one that  asks so little or could offer more.

Tx:29.34 There is no gift the Father  asks of you but that you see in all creation but the shining glory of
Tx:29.38  and of murder, grief and loss. This is the “sacrifice” salvation  asks and gladly offers peace instead of this.
Tx:30.14  answered in a different way from what your version of the question  asks will gain momentum until you believe the day you want is one in
Tx:30.33  knowledge, saved for you that you may do your will through Him. God  asks you do your will. He joins with you. He did not set His Kingdom
Tx:30.33  but waited for your blessing to be born. God is no enemy to you. He  asks no more than that He hear you call Him “Friend.”
Tx:30.55  is a paradox indeed! What could it be except a happy dream? It  asks you but that you forgive all things that no one ever did, to
Tx:30.56  that you made. No more than this is asked. Be glad indeed salvation  asks so little, not so much. It asks for nothing in reality. And even
Tx:30.56  is asked. Be glad indeed salvation asks so little, not so much. It  asks for nothing in reality. And even in illusions it but asks
Tx:30.56  much. It asks for nothing in reality. And even in illusions it but  asks forgiveness be the substitute for fear. Such is the only rule
Tx:30.71  which are inappropriate to what is real. Instead, it merely  asks that you respond appropriately to what is not real by not
Tx:31.2  But confuse it not with difficulty in the simple things salvation  asks you learn. It teaches but the very obvious. It merely goes from
Tx:31.24  happen. And you will perceive his purpose is the same as yours. He  asks for what you want and needs the same as you. It takes perhaps a
Tx:31.24  a different form in him, but it is not the form you answer to. He  asks and you receive, for you have come with but one purpose—that
Tx:31.53  The Holy Spirit does not seek to throw you into panic. So He merely  asks if just a little question might be raised.
Tx:31.64  ask that you behold the Spirit and perceive the body not. It merely  asks that this should be your choice. For you can see the body
Tx:31.80  judge because it does not know. And recognizing this, it merely  asks, “What is the meaning of what I behold?” Then is the answer
Tx:31.80  the door held open for the face of Christ to shine upon the one who  asks in innocence to see beyond the veil of old ideas and ancient
Tx:31.82  be tempted not to listen when you learn that it is you for whom He  asks release? And what but this is what this course would teach? And
W1:92.6  and peace for everyone. It gives its strength to everyone who  asks, in limitless supply. It sees that lack in anyone would be a
W1:96.17  treasure in your growing store. And all of it is given everyone who  asks for it and will accept the gift. Think, then, how much is given
W1:97.5  His Voice to every living thing; offers His sight to everyone who  asks; replaces error with the simple truth.
W1:100.6  and all the world is thus deprived of joy along with you. God  asks that you be happy so the world can see how much He loves His Son
W1:101.1  key idea in understanding what salvation means. You still believe it  asks for suffering as penance for your “sins.” This is not so. Yet
W1:126.7 Not having given Him the gift He  asks of you, you cannot recognize His gifts and think He has not
W1:131.11 No one can fail who  asks to reach the truth, and it is truth we ask to reach today. We

W1:168.2  by your acknowledgment. And memory of Him awakens in the mind which  asks the means of Him whereby its sleep is done.

Tx:4.61  But until you change your mind about those your ego has hurt, the  Atonement cannot release you. As long as you feel guilty, your ego is

Tx:5.19 The  Atonement and the separation began at the same time. When man made

Tx:5.49  “healthy guilt feelings” has merit, but without the concept of the  Atonement, it lacks the healing potential it holds. You made the
Tx:5.50  remedy. The remedy is not of your making, any more than you are. The  Atonement cannot be understood except as a pure act of sharing. That
Tx:5.55 My part in the  Atonement is not complete until you join it and give it away. As you

Tx:5.69  your wrong thinking if it could not be undone. The purpose of the  Atonement is to save the past in purified form only. If you accept
Tx:5.70  it can turn it back to full creation at any minute if it accepts the  Atonement first. It will also turn back to full creation the instant
Tx:5.92  you are of one mind and spirit with Him. Excluding yourself from the  Atonement is the ego's last-ditch defense of its own existence. It

Tx:6.29  equality, the Holy Spirit perceives equal needs. This invites  Atonement automatically, because Atonement is the one need which in
Tx:6.29  perceives equal needs. This invites Atonement automatically, because  Atonement is the one need which in this world is universal. To

Tx:11.42 The  Atonement was not the price of our wholeness, but it was the price of
Tx:11.61  world. For in this holy perception, you will be made whole, and the  Atonement will radiate from your acceptance of it for yourself to
Tx:11.84  it gives place to knowledge, which is forever the only reality. The  Atonement is but the way back to what was never lost. Your Father
Tx:11.86  Son was the beginning of the separation, as the acceptance of the  Atonement is its end. The world you see is the delusional system of
Tx:11.88  love. He cannot be condemned because he has never condemned. The  Atonement is the final lesson he need learn, for it teaches him that,
Tx:11.94 When you have accepted the  Atonement for yourselves, you will realize that there is no guilt in
Tx:11.97 Accepting the  Atonement teaches you what immortality is, for by accepting your
Tx:11.98  plan, which it offers instead of dispelling it. The ego believes in  atonement through attack, being fully committed to the insane notion
Tx:12.8 The  Atonement has always been interpreted as the release from guilt, and
Tx:12.10  more complication which you have interposed between yourself and the  Atonement, which you do not yet realize. We have said that no one
Tx:13.11  past, the laws of God must intervene if you would free yourselves.  Atonement stands between them like a lamp that shines so brightly
Tx:13.14  Atonement brings a re-evaluation of everything you cherish, for it is
Tx:13.16  would have the Holy Spirit make you free of it, accept His offer of  Atonement for all your brothers. For so you learn that it is true for
Tx:13.17  you fear is gone. If you would look within, you would see only the  Atonement, shining in quiet and in peace upon the altar to your
Tx:13.24  to free you from the past and give your mind in peace over to the  Atonement. When everyone is welcome to you as you would have yourself
Tx:13.24  Father, you will see no guilt in you. For you will have accepted the  Atonement, which shone within you all the while you dreamed of guilt
Tx:13.25  he may do, you will not look within, where you would always find  Atonement. The end of guilt will never come as long as you believe
Tx:13.25  The Holy Spirit seeks not to dispel reality. If guilt were real,  Atonement would not be. The purpose of Atonement is to dispel
Tx:13.25  reality. If guilt were real, Atonement would not be. The purpose of  Atonement is to dispel illusions, not to establish them as real and

Tx:13.86 When you accept a brother's guiltlessness, you will see the  Atonement in him. For by proclaiming it in him, you make it yours,
Tx:13.86  while you still believe it is not there. His guiltlessness is your  Atonement. Grant it to him, and you will see the truth of what you
Tx:13.88  how to forgive and restore what always was to your unforgiving mind.  Atonement becomes real and visible to them that use it. On earth this
Tx:14.3  of their Father because they know that they are sinless. The  Atonement was established as the means of restoring guiltlessness to
Tx:14.3  to the mind which has denied it and thus denied Heaven to itself.  Atonement teaches you the true condition of the Son of God. It does
Tx:14.6 Each one of you has a special part to play in the  Atonement, but the message given to each to share is always the same
Tx:14.7  its forms. To accuse is not to understand. The happy learners of the  Atonement become the teachers of the innocence that is the right of
Tx:14.8  his sight. Bring innocence to light in answer to the call of the  Atonement. Never allow purity to remain hidden, but shine away the
Tx:14.8  God has hidden himself from his own sight. We are all joined in the  Atonement here, and nothing else can unite us in this world. So will
Tx:14.10  joined together, taking their part in the unified curriculum of the  Atonement. There is no unity of learning goals apart from this. There
Tx:14.11  from guilt, you will inevitably learn your innocence. The circle of  Atonement has no end. And you will find ever-increasing confidence in
Tx:14.12  of its peace and holiness. Abide with me within it as teachers of  Atonement, not of guilt.
Tx:14.14 The crucifixion has no part in the  Atonement. Only the resurrection became my part in it. That is the

Tx:15.16 The  Atonement is in time but not for time. Being in you, it is eternal.

Tx:15.43  have it. Yet it would not be Atonement if there were no need for  Atonement. You will not be able to accept perfect communication as
Tx:15.47  that separation is salvation. For it is the complete equality of the  Atonement in which salvation lies. How can you decide that special

Tx:15.90  the Father from the Son and limit their communication. Seek not  Atonement in further separation. And limit not your vision of God's
Tx:16.74  your substitute for it. And vengeance becomes your substitute for  Atonement, and the escape from vengeance becomes your loss.
Tx:16.79  that you always choose between truth and illusion—between the real  Atonement which would heal and the ego's “atonement” which would
Tx:16.79  limit, will support you as you seek only your place in the plan of  Atonement arising from His Love. Be an ally of God and not the ego in
Tx:16.79  from His Love. Be an ally of God and not the ego in seeking how  Atonement can come to you. His help suffices, for His Messenger
Tx:17.9  is still the greatest accomplishment of all in God's plan of  Atonement. All else is learned, but this is given, complete and
Tx:17.20  is given to Him Who gives it life and beauty. That is why  Atonement centers on the past, which is the source of separation, and
Tx:17.26  of madness. Be not separate from me, and let not the holy purpose of  Atonement be lost to you in dreams of vengeance. Relationships in
Tx:18.36  be ready to receive it. That is but to confuse your role with God's.  Atonement cannot come to those who think that they must first atone,
Tx:18.38  guilt and that your plan for the escape from guilt has been to bring  Atonement to it and make salvation fearful. And it is only fear that
Tx:18.41  already understood the difference between truth and illusion, the  Atonement would have no meaning. The holy instant, your holy
Tx:18.42  faith, joined with His understanding, He will build your part in the  Atonement and make sure that you fulfill it easily. And with Him you
Tx:18.63  and this always means you still find sin attractive. No one accepts  Atonement for himself who still accepts sin as his goal. You have
Tx:18.63  sin as his goal. You have thus not met your one responsibility.  Atonement is not welcomed by those who prefer pain and destruction.
Tx:18.64  more than an instant, yet it is in this instant that the miracle of  Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will see the body again, but never

Tx:7.55 The mind that accepts  attack cannot love. That is because it believes that it can destroy
Tx:7.62  Him. We have repeatedly emphasized that the ego does believe it can  attack God and tries to persuade you that you have done this. If the
Tx:7.62  tries to persuade you that you have done this. If the mind cannot  attack, the ego proceeds perfectly logically to the position that you
Tx:7.66  is perceived as weak, and those who see themselves as weakened do  attack. The attack must be blind, however, because there is nothing
Tx:7.66  as weak, and those who see themselves as weakened do attack. The  attack must be blind, however, because there is nothing to attack.
Tx:7.66  The attack must be blind, however, because there is nothing to  attack. Therefore, they make up images, perceive them as unworthy,
Tx:7.66  Therefore, they make up images, perceive them as unworthy, and  attack them for their unworthiness. That is all the world of the ego
Tx:7.67  will make something else, but because it is something else, it will  attack your thought system and divide your allegiance. You cannot
Tx:7.71  Used negatively it will be destructive because it will be used for  attack, but in the service of the Holy Spirit, [the law becomes as
Tx:7.77  patience born of the [love of Him for whom] He speaks. Every  attack is a call for His patience, since only His patience can
Tx:7.77  is a call for His patience, since only His patience can translate  attack into blessing. Those who attack do not know they are blessed.
Tx:7.77  only His patience can translate attack into blessing. Those who  attack do not know they are blessed. They attack because they believe
Tx:7.77  into blessing. Those who attack do not know they are blessed. They  attack because they believe they are deprived. Give therefore of your
Tx:7.78  Attack could never promote attack unless you perceived it as a means
Tx:7.78 Attack could never promote  attack unless you perceived it as a means of depriving you of
Tx:7.80  your will, or you are denying what you are. Deny this and you will  attack, believing you have been attacked. But see the love of God in
Tx:7.87 To fragment is to break into pieces, and mind cannot  attack or be attacked. The belief that it can, a fallacy which the

Tx:8.26  are not alone. My purpose, then, is to overcome the world. I do not  attack it, but my light must dispel it because of what it is.
Tx:8.27 Light does not  attack darkness, but it does shine it away. If my light goes with you
Tx:8.53  Attack is always physical. When attack in any form enters your mind,
Tx:8.53 Attack is always physical. When  attack in any form enters your mind, you are equating yourself with a
Tx:8.53  This is the ego's interpretation of the body. You do not have to  attack physically to accept this interpretation. You are accepting it
Tx:8.53  this interpretation. You are accepting it simply by the belief that  attack can get you something you want. If you did not believe this,
Tx:8.53  get you something you want. If you did not believe this, the idea of  attack would have no appeal for you. When you equate yourself with a
Tx:8.55 If you use the body for  attack, it is harmful to you. If you use it only to reach the minds
Tx:8.55  you use the body for this and only for this, you cannot use it for  attack. In the service of uniting, it becomes a beautiful lesson in
Tx:8.56 Communication ends separation.  Attack promotes it. The body is beautiful or ugly, holy or savage,
Tx:8.56  Spirit, and you will mistrust it. This will lead you to hatred and  attack and loss of peace.
Tx:8.62  A mind which has been blocked has allowed itself to be vulnerable to  attack because it has turned against itself.
Tx:8.63  for anything else. To use a medium of communication as a medium of  attack is an obvious confusion in purpose.
Tx:8.64 To communicate is to join and to  attack is to separate. How can you do both simultaneously with the
Tx:8.65  the mind, the body becomes whole, because the mind's purpose is one.  Attack can only be an assumed purpose of the body, because apart from
Tx:8.66  be to escape from limitations? To conceive of the body as a means of  attack of any kind and to entertain even the possibility that joy
Tx:8.67  condemnation is unreal, and it must be unreal since it is a form of  attack, then it can have no results.
Tx:8.68  Freedom from illusions lies only in not believing them. There is no  attack, but there is unlimited communication and therefore unlimited
Tx:8.69 Attitudes toward the body are attitudes toward  attack. The ego's definitions of everything are childish and always
Tx:8.69  It does not equate it with what it is. To the ego, the body is to  attack with. Equating you with the body, it teaches that you are to
Tx:8.69  attack with. Equating you with the body, it teaches that you are to  attack with, because this is what it believes. The body, then, is not
Tx:8.72  in the body as an end, because this is synonymous with the belief in  attack as an end. The ego has a real investment in sickness. If you
Tx:8.72  from the ego's point of view because it obscures the obvious  attack which underlies the sickness. If you accepted this and also
Tx:8.72  the sickness. If you accepted this and also decided against  attack, you could not give this false witness to the ego's stand.
Tx:8.75  body rests are true. Specifically, these are that the body is for  attack and that you are a body. Without these premises, sickness is
Tx:8.79  own perception of littleness. Do not let it reflect your will to  attack. Health is the natural state of anything whose interpretation
Tx:8.79  whose interpretation is left to the Holy Spirit, Who perceives no  attack on anything. Health is the result of relinquishing all
Tx:8.85  To the ego this is perfectly sensible. Believing in the power of  attack, the ego wants attack.
Tx:8.85  perfectly sensible. Believing in the power of attack, the ego wants  attack.
Tx:8.115 To disbelieve is to side against or to  attack. To believe is to accept and to side with. To believe is not
Tx:9.11  of what is your natural ability. By reinterpreting the ability to  attack, which you did make, into the ability to share, He translates
Tx:9.15  of grandiosity and confusion which makes it likely that the ego will  attack anyone and anything for no reason at all. This is exactly what
Tx:9.20  to start with the equally incredible idea that he really believes in  attack and so does the patient, but it does not matter in either case.
Tx:9.41  confusion increases. The ego is, therefore, particularly likely to  attack you when you react lovingly, because it has evaluated you as
Tx:9.42 The ego will begin to  attack your motives as soon as they become clearly out of accord with
Tx:9.42  since its uncertainty is increased. Yet it is surely pointless to  attack in return. What can this mean except that you are agreeing
Tx:9.49  of grandiosity is competitiveness, because it always involves  attack. It is a delusional attempt to outdo but not to undo. We said
Tx:9.49  self-abasement and seek relief. Then it offers you the illusion of  attack as a solution.
Tx:9.50  of vulnerability renders it incapable of judgment except in terms of  attack. When it experiences threat, its only decision is whether to
Tx:9.50  attack. When it experiences threat, its only decision is whether to  attack now or to withdraw to attack later. If you accept its offer of
Tx:9.50  threat, its only decision is whether to attack now or to withdraw to  attack later. If you accept its offer of grandiosity, it will attack
Tx:9.50  to attack later. If you accept its offer of grandiosity, it will  attack immediately. If you do not, it will wait.
Tx:9.51  reality will not remain with you unless you do not allow the ego to  attack it. The ego will make every effort to recover and mobilize its

Tx:9.52  Mind of God. When you forget this, you will despair, and you will  attack.

Tx:9.68  then appears to be fearful, but only because the dissociation was an  attack on truth. You are fearful because you have forgotten. And you
Tx:9.71 When you  attack, you are denying yourself. You are specifically teaching
Tx:9.71  If you understand that the misuse of defenses always constitutes an  attack on truth and truth is God, you will realize why this is always
Tx:9.71  you are part of God, you will understand why it is that you always  attack yourself first.
Tx:9.72 [All  attack is self-attack. It cannot be anything else. Arising from your

Tx:10.16  understanding of Him, you know there is but one will. Yet when you  attack any part of God and His Kingdom, your understanding is not
Tx:10.23  is not God's Will for His Son. Pain is not of Him, for He knows no  attack and His peace surrounds you silently. God is very quiet, for
Tx:10.35  defense as blaming others. You cannot enter God's Presence if you  attack His Son. When His Son lifts his voice in praise of his
Tx:10.49  that you have successfully attacked truth, you are believing that  attack has power. Very simply, then, you have become afraid of
Tx:10.52  love, and only the insane could believe that love can be gained by  attack. But the sane know that only attack could produce fear from
Tx:10.52  that love can be gained by attack. But the sane know that only  attack could produce fear from which the love of God completely
Tx:10.53  and truth lie in separation, and to establish this belief it must  attack. Unaware that the belief cannot be established and obsessed

Tx:11.10  attack as a call for love. We have learned surely that fear and  attack are inevitably associated. If only attack produces fear and if

Tx:11.43 Only love is strong because it is undivided. The strong do not  attack because they see no need to do so. Before the idea of attack
Tx:11.43  do not attack because they see no need to do so. Before the idea of  attack can enter your mind, you must have perceived yourself as weak.
Tx:11.43  as weak. Because you had attacked yourself and believed that the  attack was effective, you behold yourself as weakened. No longer
Tx:11.43  you attempt to “equalize” the situation you have made. You use  attack to do so because you believe that attack was successful in
Tx:11.43  you have made. You use attack to do so because you believe that  attack was successful in weakening you.
Tx:11.44  For if you accept your invulnerability, you are recognizing that  attack has no effect. Although you have attacked yourself, and very
Tx:11.44  anything. Once you realize this, there is no longer any sense in  attack, for it manifestly does not work and cannot protect you. Yet
Tx:11.45 You will never realize the utter uselessness of  attack except by recognizing that your attack on yourself had no
Tx:11.45  the utter uselessness of attack except by recognizing that your  attack on yourself had no effects. For others do react to attack if
Tx:11.45  that your attack on yourself had no effects. For others do react to  attack if they perceive it, and if you are trying to attack them, you
Tx:11.45  do react to attack if they perceive it, and if you are trying to  attack them, you will be unable to avoid interpreting this as
Tx:11.45  is in yourself. For you are always the first point of your  attack, and if this has never been, it has no consequences.
Tx:11.50  you have chosen is against love and amounts to a course in how to  attack yourself. A necessary minor, supplementing this major
Tx:11.77  but you know neither the Father nor the Son because of them. You  attack the real world every day and every hour and every minute, and
Tx:11.77  are surprised that you cannot see it. If you seek love in order to  attack it, you will never find it. For if love is sharing, how can
Tx:11.77  it and it will come to you because it is drawn to itself. But offer  attack and it will remain hidden, for it can live only in peace.
Tx:11.78  nothing. Yet he is far from you whose Self he is, for you chose to  attack him, and he disappeared from your sight into his Father. He

Tx:11.87  of salvation and be loving. Love does not kill to save. If it did,  attack would be salvation, and this is the ego's interpretation, not
Tx:11.98  instead of dispelling it. The ego believes in atonement through  attack, being fully committed to the insane notion that attack is
Tx:11.98  through attack, being fully committed to the insane notion that  attack is salvation. And you who cherish guilt must also believe it,
Tx:11.99 The ego teaches you to  attack yourself because you are guilty, and this must increase the
Tx:11.99  guilty, and this must increase the guilt, for guilt is the result of  attack. In the ego's teaching, then, there is no escape from guilt.
Tx:11.99  In the ego's teaching, then, there is no escape from guilt. For  attack makes guilt real, and if it is real, there is no way to
Tx:11.99  of God, he knows this is true. And being true for you, you cannot  attack yourself, for without guilt, attack is impossible. You, then,
Tx:11.99  being true for you, you cannot attack yourself, for without guilt,  attack is impossible. You, then, are saved because God's Son is
Tx:12.4  of guilt. To the ego, the guiltless are guilty. Those who do not  attack are its “enemies” because, by not valuing its interpretation
Tx:12.10  not afraid of fear. You do not like it, but it is not your desire to  attack which really frightens you. You are not seriously disturbed by
Tx:12.12 Your fear of  attack is nothing compared to your fear of love. You would be willing
Tx:12.12  impel you to answer His call and leap into Heaven. You believe that  attack is salvation to prevent you from this. For still deeper than
Tx:12.14  you little. For you believe that magnitude lies in defiance and that  attack is grandeur. You think you have made a world which God would
Tx:12.24  is questioned, you believe that yours is. For you believe that  attack is your reality and that your destruction is the final proof
Tx:12.28  you. They carry the spots of pain in your minds, directing you to  attack in the present in retaliation for a past that is no more. And
Tx:12.35  figure in their own private world. And thus it is that you must  attack yourself first, for what you attack is not in others. Its only

Tx:12.49  on eyes that see. Your past was made in anger, and if you use it to  attack the present, you will not see the freedom that the present
Tx:13.11 Guilt remains the only thing that hides the Father, for guilt is the  attack upon His Son. The guilty always condemn, and having done so,
Tx:13.15  is right in his delusion? The idea that the guiltless Son of God can  attack himself and make himself guilty is insane. In any form, in
Tx:13.53  to deceive yourselves. Those who choose to be deceived will merely  attack direct approaches, which would seem but to encroach upon
Tx:13.69  of guilt. Everyone you offer healing to returns it. Everyone you  attack keeps it and cherishes it by holding it against you. Whether
Tx:14.9  pain be his. Yet those who have failed to learn need teaching, not  attack. To attack those who have need of teaching is to fail to learn

Tx:14.23  keep no source of interference from His sight, for He will not  attack your sentinels. But bring them to Him, and let His gentleness
Tx:14.28  it go. Truth does not struggle against ignorance, and love does not  attack fear. What needs no protection does not defend itself. Defense

Tx:15.46  alone is to deny the oneness of the Father and his Son and thus to  attack reality.
Tx:15.70  the root of its bitter resentment. For it would much prefer to  attack directly and avoid delaying what it really wants. Yet the ego
Tx:15.70  as it sees it and recognizes that no one could interpret direct  attack as love. Yet to make guilty is direct attack but does not seem
Tx:15.70  could interpret direct attack as love. Yet to make guilty is direct  attack but does not seem to be. For the guilty expect attack, and
Tx:15.70  is direct attack but does not seem to be. For the guilty expect  attack, and having asked for it, they are attracted to it.
Tx:15.71  believes that to forgive another is to lose him. For it is only by  attack without forgiveness that the ego can ensure the guilt which
Tx:15.91  purposes of communication and renounce its use for separation and  attack which the ego sees in it, you will learn you have no need of a
Tx:15.96  sacrifice. And it is this that you must look upon—sacrifice is  attack, not love. If you would accept but this one idea, your fear of
Tx:15.98  all—that love demands sacrifice and is therefore inseparable from  attack and fear. And that guilt is the price of love, which must be
Tx:15.105  the belief in the reality of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds  attack, being the belief that attack is justified. And as long as you
Tx:15.105  deprivation? For deprivation breeds attack, being the belief that  attack is justified. And as long as you would retain the deprivation,
Tx:15.105  is justified. And as long as you would retain the deprivation,  attack becomes salvation, and sacrifice becomes love.
Tx:16.2  the ego always empathizes to weaken, and to weaken is always to  attack. You do not know what empathizing means. Yet of this you may
Tx:16.17  grow with its increase. The power of holiness and the weakness of  attack have both been brought into awareness. And this has been
Tx:16.17  accomplished in minds firmly convinced that holiness is weakness and  attack is power. Should not this be a sufficient miracle to teach you
Tx:16.43  it involves a great amount of pain. Anxiety, despair, guilt, and  attack all enter into it, broken into by periods in which they seem
Tx:16.43  for what they are. Whatever form they take, they are always an  attack on the self to make the other guilty. We have spoken of this
Tx:16.44  you see Him, and Him alone, as guilty, leaving the Sonship open to  attack and unprotected from it. The special love relationship is the
Tx:16.52  relationship. Through the death of your self, you think you can  attack another self and snatch it from the other to replace the self
Tx:17.36  joy of His eternal Spirit are marshaled to defend you from your own  attack. For you attack Them, being part of Them, and They must save

Tx:17.54  have denied yourself its benefit. You reinforce this every time you  attack each other, for the attack must blind you to yourself. And it
Tx:17.54  You reinforce this every time you attack each other, for the  attack must blind you to yourself. And it is impossible to deny
Tx:17.65  impossible. Some idea of bodies must have entered, for minds cannot  attack.
Tx:17.75  asks of you. Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon it, do not  attack it, do not interrupt its coming. Let it encompass every
Tx:18.14  have preferred. Here, you are “free” to make over whatever seemed to  attack you and change it into a tribute to your ego, which was
Tx:18.14  ego, which always looks upon itself and therefore on you as under  attack and highly vulnerable to it.
Tx:18.51  separation in the mind and let it not know its identity. Mind cannot  attack, but it can make fantasies and direct the body to act them
Tx:18.51  mind believes the body is actually acting out its fantasies, it will  attack the body by increasing the projection of its guilt upon it.
Tx:18.52 In this, the mind is clearly delusional. It cannot  attack, but it maintains it can and uses what it does to hurt the
Tx:18.52  uses what it does to hurt the body to prove it can. The mind cannot  attack, but it can deceive itself. And this is all it does when it
Tx:18.54  is insane to use the body as the scapegoat for guilt, directing its  attack and blaming it for what you wished it to do. It is impossible
Tx:18.85  kingdom in which you set it off, surrounded by darkness, guarded by  attack, and reinforced by hate. Within its barricades is still a tiny
Tx:18.93  of every evil thought you had laid upon it. Here there is no  attack upon the Son of God, and you are welcome. Here is your
Tx:19.5  difference in what they are. Faithlessness would always limit and  attack; faith would remove all limitations and make whole.
Tx:19.6  the body, thought of as a means for seeking out reality through  attack, while the other part would heal and therefore calls upon the
Tx:19.9  devastation wrought by your faithlessness. For faithlessness is an  attack which seems to be justified by its results. For by withholding
Tx:19.11 Faith is the opposite of fear, as much a part of love as fear is of  attack. Faith is the acknowledgment of union. It is the gracious
Tx:19.17  necessarily based on the firm conviction that minds, not bodies, can  attack. And thus the mind is guilty and will forever so remain unless
Tx:19.18  be to violate reality and to succeed. Sin is the proclamation that  attack is real and guilt is justified. It assumes the Son of God is
Tx:19.33  be a power beyond God's, capable of making another will which could  attack His Will and overcome it and give His Son a will apart from
Tx:19.41  your brothers and salvation? And yet, it is this little remnant of  attack you cherish still against each other that is the first
Tx:19.49  Overlooking guilt completely, it sees no fear. Being wholly without  attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is attracted to what love sees
Tx:19.70  grounds for depression and disillusionment and for retaliative  attack on what you think has failed you? Use not your error as the
Tx:19.73  would keep you unaware of it. Who would send messages of hatred and  attack if he but understood he sends them to himself? Who would
Tx:19.74  are always sent away from you in the belief that for your message of  attack and guilt will someone other than yourself suffer. And even if
Tx:19.74  convince you this is possible, it bids the body search for pain in  attack upon another, calling it pleasure and offering it to you as
Tx:19.74  another, calling it pleasure and offering it to you as freedom from  attack.
Tx:19.86  carefully guarded by love, preserved from every thought that would  attack it and quietly made ready to fulfill the mighty task for which

Tx:19.103  The “enemies” of Christ, the worshipers of sin, know not Whom they  attack. This is your brother, crucified by sin, and waiting for
Tx:20.19  an answer. Do you like what you have made—a world of murder and  attack through which you thread your timid way through constant

Tx:21.73  a glimpse of the great enemy which always eludes its murderous  attack by turning into something else. How treacherous does this
Tx:21.77  of truth or sin, power or helplessness, is the choice of whether to  attack or heal. For healing comes of power and attack of
Tx:21.77  choice of whether to attack or heal. For healing comes of power and  attack of helplessness. Whom you attack you cannot want to heal. And
Tx:21.77  For healing comes of power and attack of helplessness. Whom you  attack you cannot want to heal. And whom you would have healed must

Tx:22.5 Let reason take another step. If you  attack whom God would heal and hate the one He loves, then you and
Tx:22.15  you. Here are His sweetness and His gentle innocence protected from  attack. And here can He return in confidence, for faith in one
Tx:22.36  of his sins and of his body. What is there in him that you would  attack except what you associate with his body, which you believe can
Tx:22.47  is strength and power. Here can no weakness enter, for here is no  attack and therefore no illusions. Love rests in certainty. Only
Tx:22.48  has joined! This is your “enemy”—a frightened mouse that would  attack the universe. How likely is it that it will succeed? Can it be
Tx:22.61 Who can  attack the Son of God and not attack his Father? How can God's Son be
Tx:22.61 Who can attack the Son of God and not  attack his Father? How can God's Son be weak and frail and easily
Tx:22.61  sin and every condemnation which you perceive and justify is an  attack upon your Father. And that is why it has not happened nor
Tx:22.61  think that they are separate because of fear. For it seems safer to  attack another or yourself than to attack the great Creator of the
Tx:22.61  of fear. For it seems safer to attack another or yourself than to  attack the great Creator of the universe, whose power you know.
Tx:22.62  His power is yours. But you will not remember this while you believe  attack of any kind means anything. It is unjustified in any form
Tx:22.62  separate from your Creator. For only then would it be possible to  attack a part of the creation without the whole, the Son without the
Tx:22.62  the creation without the whole, the Son without the Father, and to  attack another without yourself or hurt yourself without the other
Tx:22.62  belief you want. Yet wherein lies its value except in the desire to  attack in safety? Attack is neither safe nor dangerous. It is
Tx:22.62  Yet wherein lies its value except in the desire to attack in safety?  Attack is neither safe nor dangerous. It is impossible. And this is
Tx:22.62  And this is so because the universe is one. You would not choose  attack on its reality if it were not essential to attack to see it
Tx:22.62  would not choose attack on its reality if it were not essential to  attack to see it [separate from its Creator]. And thus it seems as if
Tx:22.62  it [separate from its Creator]. And thus it seems as if love could  attack and become fearful.
Tx:22.63 Only the different can  attack. So you conclude because you can attack you must be different.
Tx:22.63 Only the different can attack. So you conclude because you can  attack you must be different. Yet does the Holy Spirit explain this
Tx:22.63  explain this differently. Because you are not different, you cannot  attack. Either position is a logical conclusion if only the different
Tx:22.63  Either position is a logical conclusion if only the different can  attack. Either could be maintained, but never both. The only question
Tx:22.63  position of what you understand, you seem to be and therefore can  attack. Of the alternatives, this seems more natural and more in line
Tx:23.1  cannot fear, for sin of any kind is weakness. The show of strength  attack would use to cover frailty conceals it not, for how can the
Tx:23.1  unreal be hidden? No one is strong who has an enemy, and no one can  attack unless he thinks he has. Belief in enemies is therefore the
Tx:23.2  weaken it because of this; and you will think that you succeeded and  attack again. It is as certain you will fear what you attack as it is
Tx:23.2  succeeded and attack again. It is as certain you will fear what you  attack as it is sure that you will love what you perceive as sinless.
Tx:23.2  him from fear. And he will see only the sinless, who can not  attack.
Tx:23.10  Your “enemy” was God Himself, to Whom all conflict, triumph, and  attack of any kind are all unknown. He loves you perfectly,
Tx:23.14  exist between one power and nothingness. There is nothing you could  attack that is not part of you. And by attacking it, you make two
Tx:23.19  they are for, because it is their purpose to make meaningless and to  attack the truth. Here are the laws that rule the world you made. And
Tx:23.20  true. Each one establishes this for himself and makes it true by his  attack on what another values. And this is justified because the
Tx:23.22  worshiper of sin, is that each one must sin and therefore deserves  attack and death. This principle, closely related to the first, is
Tx:23.25  whose every aspect seems to be at war with Him and justified in its  attack. And now is conflict made inevitable and beyond the help of
Tx:23.28  inheritance which should be yours; your justified position and  attack for what has been withheld; and the inevitable loss the enemy
Tx:23.28  ones protest their “innocence.” Were they not forced into this foul  attack by the unscrupulous behavior of the enemy, they would respond
Tx:23.29  to you. His treachery demands his death that you may live. And you  attack only in self defense.
Tx:23.30  is it you want that needs his death? Can you be sure your murderous  attack is justified unless you know what it is for? And here a final
Tx:23.30  your madness that makes it “sane.” This is the reason why you must  attack. Here is what makes your vengeance justified. Behold,
Tx:23.31  your possession made complete. And never will your brother cease his  attack on you for what you stole. Nor will God end His vengeance upon
Tx:23.32  completely turned around, with madness sanity, illusions true,  attack a kindness, hatred love and murder benediction, is the goal
Tx:23.35 How can some forms of murder not mean death? Can an  attack in any form be love? What form of condemnation is a blessing?
Tx:23.35  his savior powerless and finds salvation? Let not the form of the  attack on him deceive you. You cannot seek to harm him and be saved.
Tx:23.35  You cannot seek to harm him and be saved. Who can find safety from  attack by turning on himself? How can it matter what the form this
Tx:23.38  witness that these laws are true. The seeming gentler forms of the  attack are no less certain in their witnessing or their results.
Tx:23.40  will not recognize the rest for what they are. And they will follow.  Attack in any form has placed your foot upon the twisted stairway
Tx:23.41 Is it not true you do not recognize some of the forms  attack can take? If it is true attack in any form will hurt you and
Tx:23.41  do not recognize some of the forms attack can take? If it is true  attack in any form will hurt you and will do so just as much as in
Tx:23.41  it must follow that you do not always recognize the source of pain.  Attack in any form is equally destructive. Its purpose does not
Tx:23.42  is long deceived. Withhold forgiveness from your brother, and you  attack him. You give him nothing and receive of him but what you gave.
Tx:23.43  is the belief salvation is impossible. It would maintain you can  attack a little, love a little, and know the difference. Thus it
Tx:23.44  compromise is possible. They do not see that, if it is, salvation is  attack. Yet it is certain the belief that salvation is impossible
Tx:23.44  come. Forgiveness cannot be withheld a little. Nor is it possible to  attack for this and love for that and understand forgiveness. Would
Tx:23.45 Those who believe that peace can be defended and that  attack is justified on its behalf cannot perceive it lies within
Tx:23.46  battlefield? [Do not remain in conflict, for there is no war without  attack.]
Tx:23.47  not of death. Yet He remains the only place of safety. In Him is no  attack, and no illusion in any form stalks Heaven. Heaven is wholly
Tx:23.47  the form. What is not love is murder. What is not loving must be an  attack. Every illusion is an assault on truth, and every one does
Tx:23.50  so it cannot be extended to all creation. Each form of murder and  attack that still attracts you and that you do not recognize for what
Tx:23.52 When the temptation to  attack rises to make your mind darkened and murderous, remember you
Tx:23.52  have chosen to remain where He would have you, and no illusion can  attack the peace of God together with His Son.
Tx:23.53  look, where meaning can be given what you see. For only bodies could  attack and murder, and if this is your purpose, then you must be one
Tx:24.4 Beliefs will never openly  attack each other, because conflicting outcomes are impossible. But
Tx:24.4  it there. The secret enemies of peace, your least decision to choose  attack instead of love, unrecognized and swift to challenge you to
Tx:24.5  and with the grandeur which He gave His Son. What else could justify  attack? For who could hate someone whose Self is his and whom He
Tx:24.6  For specialness not only sets apart but serves as grounds from which  attack on those who seem “beneath” the special one is “natural” and
Tx:24.7  and worth preserving. Specialness must be defended. Illusions can  attack it, and they do. For what your brother must become to keep
Tx:24.8  for you to hate your brother if you were like him? Could you  attack him if you realized you journey with him to a goal that is the
Tx:24.9 Could you  attack each other if you chose to see no specialness of any kind
Tx:24.11  defend illusions against the truth. For what is specialness but an  attack upon the Will of God? You love your brother not while it is
Tx:24.13 Pursuit of specialness is always at the cost of peace. Who can  attack his savior and cut him down yet recognize his strong support?
Tx:24.19  enemy of specialness but only friend to what is real in you. Not one  attack you thought you made on him has taken from him the gift that
Tx:24.28 It is not you that is so vulnerable and open to  attack that just a word, a little whisper that you do not like, a
Tx:24.29  or creeps or crawls or even lives at all. Nothing is safe from its  attack, and it is safe from nothing. It will forever more be
Tx:24.30  they will the death of love itself? Yet they are powerless to make  attack upon illusions. They are not bodies; as One mind they wait for
Tx:24.36  specialness, it is impossible. Yet to those who wish to heal and not  attack, it is quite obvious. The purpose of attack is in the mind,
Tx:24.36  who wish to heal and not attack, it is quite obvious. The purpose of  attack is in the mind, and its effects are felt but where it is. Nor
Tx:24.62  too dear to save his specialness from the least slight, the tiniest  attack, the whispered doubt, the hint of threat, or anything but
Tx:25.23  you value guilt, to that extent will you perceive a world in which  attack is justified. To the extent to which you recognize that guilt
Tx:25.23  that guilt is meaningless, to that extent will you perceive  attack cannot be justified. This is in strict accord with vision's
Tx:25.28  are really calls to peace. He will perceive that where he gave  attack is but another altar where he can with equal ease and far more
Tx:25.32  are joined and recognize they are can feel no guilt. For they cannot  attack, and they rejoice that this is so, seeing their safety in this
Tx:25.37 The state of sinlessness is merely this: the whole desire to  attack is gone, and so there is no reason to perceive the Son of God
Tx:25.37  it has no purpose and is meaningless without the goal of sin.  Attack and sin are bound as one illusion, each the cause and aim and
Tx:25.38  Attack makes Christ your enemy and God along with Him. Must you not
Tx:25.38  else,” a “something” to be feared instead of loved. Who would  attack whatever he perceives as wholly innocent? And who, because he
Tx:25.38  he perceives as wholly innocent? And who, because he wishes to  attack, can fail to think it must be guilty to deserve the wish and
Tx:25.42  your forgiveness will you understand His love for you; through your  attack believe He hates you, thinking Heaven must be hell. Look once
Tx:25.49  against himself. Only in darkness does your specialness appear to be  attack. In light, you see it as your special function in the plan to
Tx:25.49  as your special function in the plan to save the Son of God from all  attack and let him understand that he is safe, as he has always been
Tx:25.57  is given the choice of form most suitable to him; one which will not  attack the world he sees, but enter into it in quietness and show him
Tx:25.64  necessary that your faith in it be strong, unswerving, and without  attack from all beliefs opposed to it. You have no fixed allegiance.
Tx:25.74  and cannot chasten without cause. What cause can be to warrant an  attack upon the innocent? In justice then does love correct mistakes,
Tx:25.81  justice sure. The Holy Spirit's perception leaves no ground for an  attack. Only a loss could justify attack, and loss of any kind He
Tx:25.81  perception leaves no ground for an attack. Only a loss could justify  attack, and loss of any kind He cannot see. The world solves problems
Tx:25.83  occur. Healing must be for everyone because he does not merit an  attack of any kind. What order can there be in miracles, unless
Tx:25.84  unsettled, unresolved, and lasting in its power of injustice and  attack. No one can be unjust to you, unless you have decided first to
Tx:26.1 In the “dynamics” of  attack is sacrifice a key idea. It is the pivot upon which all
Tx:26.11  If this were true, then God would be unfair, sin would be possible,  attack be justified, and vengeance fair.
Tx:26.17  be as He created it. Nothing He loves but must be sinless and beyond  attack. Your special function opens wide the door beyond which is the
Tx:26.20  of the universe made true. This is because knowledge makes no  attack upon perception. They are brought together, and only one
Tx:26.44  all the world of sick illusions. All belief in sin, in power of  attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and death has come to you. For
Tx:26.52  until God becomes impatient, splits the world apart, and relegates  attack unto Himself. Thus has He lost His Mind, proclaiming sin has
Tx:26.59 Sin is belief  attack can be projected outside the mind where the belief arose. Here
Tx:26.59  This world is an attempt to prove your innocence while cherishing  attack. Its failure lies in that you still feel guilty, though
Tx:26.64  where there is no pain or suffering. Forgiveness is the answer to  attack of any kind. So is attack deprived of its effects, and hate is
Tx:26.64  or suffering. Forgiveness is the answer to attack of any kind. So is  attack deprived of its effects, and hate is answered in the name of
Tx:26.77  is in him. And never will you know He is in you as well, while you  attack His chosen home and battle with His host. Regard him gently.
Tx:26.85  Their Presence? Only this—you have a differential view of when  attack is justified and when you think it is unfair and not to be
Tx:26.86 What does it mean if you perceive  attack in certain forms to be unfair to you? It means that there must
Tx:26.87 Unfairness and  attack are one mistake, so firmly joined that where one is perceived,
Tx:26.88  of your guilt to someone else? And is this innocence which your  attack on him attempts to get? Is it not retribution for your own
Tx:26.88  attack on him attempts to get? Is it not retribution for your own  attack upon the Son of God you seek? Is it not safer to believe that
Tx:27.1  to be unfairly treated is a compromise attempt that would combine  attack and innocence. Who can combine the wholly incompatible and
Tx:27.2  But every pain you suffer do you see as proof that he is guilty of  attack. Thus would you make yourself to be the sign that he has lost
Tx:27.3  treated, or in need of anything, you but accuse your brother of  attack upon God's Son. You hold a picture of your crucifixion before
Tx:27.3  Yet this is writ in hell and not in Heaven, where you are beyond  attack and prove his innocence. The picture of yourself you offer him
Tx:27.5  be seen nor pictured. Yet this one has not been used for purpose of  attack and therefore never suffered pain at all. It witnesses to the
Tx:27.6  that no reproach he laid upon his heart was ever justified, and no  attack can ever touch him with the poisoned and relentless sting of
Tx:27.13  brother and could love and trust him still? He has attacked and will  attack again. Protect him not, because your damaged body shows that
Tx:27.31  of your brother that you see means nothing. There is nothing to  attack or to deny, love, or hate, or to endow with power or to see as
Tx:27.45  then. But it does mean, if only for an instant, you love without  attack. An instant is sufficient. Miracles wait not on time.
Tx:27.46  to heal. And nothing more than just one instant of your love without  attack is necessary that all this occur. In that one instant are you
Tx:27.47  your behalf. A dying world asks only that you rest an instant from  attack upon yourself, that it be healed.
Tx:27.53  it. What occurred within the instant which love entered in without  attack will stay with you forever. Your healing will be one of its
Tx:27.62  in which the dreamer is unconscious of what brought on the  attack against himself, he sees himself attacked unjustly and by
Tx:27.62  he knows not what he does, but what is done to him. Yet is his own  attack upon himself apparent still, for it is he who bears the
Tx:27.64  justifies my wrath, and you exist and think apart from me. While you  attack, I must be innocent. And what I suffer from is your attack.”
Tx:27.64  While you attack, I must be innocent. And what I suffer from is your  attack.” No one who looks upon this “reasoning” exactly as it is
Tx:27.65  And he must see it in another's hand if he would be a victim of  attack he did not choose. And thus he suffers from the wounds a knife
Tx:27.67  was first beheld. In separation from your brother was the first  attack upon yourself begun. And it is this the world bears witness
Tx:27.81  in the first. No one asleep and dreaming in the world remembers his  attack upon himself. No one believes there really was a time when he
Tx:27.83 A timelessness in which is time made real; a part of God which can  attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy; a mind within a body,
Tx:27.86  you are doing this unto yourself. No matter what the form of the  attack, this still is true. Whoever takes the role of enemy and of
Tx:28.20 In dreams of murder and  attack are you the victim in a dying body slain. But in forgiving
Tx:28.22  show him that his wishes have been done. Thus does he fear his own  attack but sees it at another's hands. As victim, he is suffering
Tx:28.22  from its effects but not their cause. He authored not his own  attack, and he is innocent of what he caused. The miracle does
Tx:28.49  will make war upon your Self, which seems to be your enemy, and will  attack your brother as a part of what you hate. There is no
Tx:28.54  as victim. It accepts no role but does what it is told, without  attack.
Tx:28.57  No one can suffer if he does not see himself attacked and losing by  attack. Unstated and unheard in consciousness is every pledge to
Tx:28.57  to sickness. Yet it is a promise to another to be hurt by him and to  attack him in return.
Tx:29.1  could harbor just a hint of hate; His gentleness turn sometimes to  attack; and His eternal patience sometimes fail. All this do you
Tx:29.12  and pain. For pain and sin are one illusion, as are hate and fear,  attack and guilt but one. Where they are causeless, their effects are
Tx:29.12  of pain and sickness, misery and loss, and all effects of hatred and  attack. No more is pain your friend and guilt your god, and you
Tx:29.27 In simplest form it can be said  attack is a response to function unfulfilled as you perceive the
Tx:29.28  you allotted him? And does not this become the “reason” your  attack is justified? The dreams you think you like are those in which
Tx:29.35  Father as His home? If God esteems him worthy of Himself, would you  attack him with the hands of hate? Who would lay bloody hands on
Tx:29.37  for a dream. When dreams are shared, they lose the function of  attack and separation, even though it was for this that every dream
Tx:29.63  knows of justice, not of penalty. But in the dream of judgment, you  attack and are condemned and wish to be the slave of idols which are
Tx:29.65  against the child who thought he made them real. Yet can a dream  attack? Or can a toy grow large and dangerous and fierce and wild?
Tx:29.70  made a new beginning, not another try to worship idols and to keep  attack. Forgiving dreams are kind to everyone who figures in the
Tx:30.10  be times when you have judged already. Now the answer will provoke  attack unless you quickly straighten out your mind to want an answer
Tx:30.49 You will  attack what does not satisfy, and thus you will not see you made it
Tx:30.49  you made idols. They were made that this might be forgotten. You  attack but false ideas and never truthful ones. All idols are the
Tx:30.49  the gap you think arose between yourself and what is true. And you  attack them for the things you think they represent. What lies beyond
Tx:30.53  reality, and they bring fear because they hide the truth. Do not  attack what you have made to let you be deceived, for thus you prove
Tx:30.53  let you be deceived, for thus you prove that you have been deceived.  Attack has power to make illusions real. Yet what it makes is
Tx:30.53  worship, for they are not there. Yet this is equally forgotten in  attack. God's Son needs no defense against his dreams. His idols do
Tx:30.58 Here, it is thought that understanding is acquired by  attack. There, it is clear that by attack is understanding lost. The
Tx:30.58  that understanding is acquired by attack. There, it is clear that by  attack is understanding lost. The folly of pursuing guilt as goal is
Tx:30.70 Anger is never justified.  Attack has no foundation. It is here escape from fear begins and will
Tx:30.70  rests and is but natural. You are not asked to offer pardon where  attack is due and would be justified. For this would mean that you
Tx:30.70  a way which is not justified, your pardon will become the answer to  attack that has been made. And thus is pardon inappropriate, by being
Tx:30.71  foundation. You do not forgive the unforgivable nor overlook a real  attack that calls for punishment. Salvation does not lie in being
Tx:30.71  be asked to sacrifice your rights when you return forgiveness for  attack. But you are merely asked to see forgiveness as the natural
Tx:30.72  rise to take the place of dreams of terror. Fear cannot arise unless  attack is justified, and if it had a real foundation, pardon would
Tx:30.72  uphold the guilt you would “forgive.” Unjustified forgiveness is  attack. And this is all the world can ever give. It pardons “sinners”
Tx:31.10  past each seeming call to death, that sings behind each murderous  attack and pleads that love restore the dying world! You do not
Tx:31.22  before the new without your opposition or intent. There will be no  attack upon the things you thought were precious and in need of care.
Tx:31.26  that you believe them to be yours and therefore meriting a “just”  attack.
Tx:31.27  if you did not believe that they are your reality? And why do you  attack them everywhere, except you hate yourself? Are you a sin? You
Tx:31.27  you hate yourself? Are you a sin? You answer “yes” whenever you  attack, for by attack do you assert that you are guilty and must give
Tx:31.27  Are you a sin? You answer “yes” whenever you attack, for by  attack do you assert that you are guilty and must give as you
Tx:31.27  deserve but what you are? If you did not believe that you deserved  attack, it never would occur to you to give attack to anyone at all.
Tx:31.27  that you deserved attack, it never would occur to you to give  attack to anyone at all. Why should you? What would be the gain to
Tx:31.30  prisoner to the snarling dogs of hate and evil, sickness and  attack, of pain and age, of grief and suffering. Here are the
Tx:31.45  who would be generous and good. This aspect never makes the first  attack. But every day a hundred little things make small assaults
Tx:31.46  of innocence the concept of the self so proudly wears can tolerate  attack in self-defense, for is it not a well-known fact the world
Tx:31.69  could not recognize your “evil” thoughts as long as you see value in  attack. You will perceive them sometimes, but will not see them as
W1:21.3  is not so. It is merely an example of the belief that some forms of  attack are more justified than others.
W1:21.4 As you search your mind for all the forms in which  attack thoughts present themselves, hold each one in mind and tell
W1:22.1 Today's idea accurately describes the way anyone who holds  attack thoughts in his mind must see the world. Having projected his
W1:22.1  onto the world, he sees vengeance about to strike at him. His own  attack is thus perceived as self defense. This becomes an

W1:22.2  You made what you would destroy—everything that you hate and would  attack and kill. All that you fear does not exist.
W1:23.2 If the cause of the world you see is  attack thoughts, you must learn that it is these thoughts which you

W1:23.7 I can escape from the world by giving up  attack thoughts about _____.
W1:23.8 Hold each  attack thought in mind as you say this, and then dismiss that thought
W1:23.9  of the world you see. When you finally realize that thoughts of  attack and of being attacked are not different, you will be ready to
W1:26.1  that if you can be attacked, you are not invulnerable. You see  attack as a real threat. That is because you believe that you can
W1:26.1  as a real threat. That is because you believe that you can really  attack. And what would have effects through you must also have
W1:26.2 Because your  attack thoughts will be projected, you will fear attack. And if you

W1:26.2  if you fear attack, you must believe that you are not invulnerable.  Attack thoughts therefore make you vulnerable in your own mind, which
W1:26.2  therefore make you vulnerable in your own mind, which is where the  attack thoughts are. Attack thoughts and invulnerability cannot be
W1:26.2  vulnerable in your own mind, which is where the attack thoughts are.  Attack thoughts and invulnerability cannot be accepted together. They

W1:55.3  reflection of the Love of God and the love of His Son. It is my own  attack thoughts which give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts
W1:55.4 [23] I can escape from the world by giving up  attack thoughts. Herein lies my salvation, and nowhere else. Without
W1:55.4  attack thoughts. Herein lies my salvation, and nowhere else. Without  attack thoughts I could not see a world of attack. As forgiveness

W1:56.6  In my own mind, behind all my insane thoughts of separation and  attack, is the knowledge that all is one forever. I have not lost the
W1:62.2  Creator. Now you are learning how to remember the truth. For this,  attack must be replaced by forgiveness so that thoughts of life may

W1:134.19  day, for there will be so many times when you forget its meaning and  attack yourself. When this occurs, allow your mind to see through
W1:135.1 Who would defend himself unless he thought he was attacked, that the  attack is real, and that his own defense can save himself? And herein
W1:135.18  it is your reality which is the “threat” that your defenses would  attack, obscure, and take apart and crucify.
W1:136.2  And like all the rest, its purpose is to hide reality,  attack it, change it, render it inept, distort it, twist it, or

W1:153.6  can never be attacked because it recognizes strength so great  attack is folly or a silly game a tired child might play when he
W1:153.9  created unassailable, without all thought or wish or dream in which  attack has any meaning. Now we cannot fear, for we have left all
W1:161.6 Bodies  attack but minds do not. This thought is surely reminiscent of our

W1:170.2 How thoroughly insane is the idea that to defend from fear is to  attack! For here is fear begot and fed with blood, to make it grow
W1:170.4 It seems to be the enemy without that you  attack. Yet your defense sets up an enemy within—an alien thought

W1:192.5  What fears could still assail those who have lost the source of all  attack, the core of anguish, and the seat of fear?
W1:192.7  we grope in darkness, using reason but to justify our rage and our  attack. Our understanding is so limited that what we think we
W1:194.9  will be soon replaced by love's reflection. And if we are tempted to  attack, we will appeal to Him Who guards our rest to make the choice

Tx:15.74  nothing more than an attempt to make someone feel guilty, and this  attempt is the only basis which the ego accepts for special
Tx:15.76  that to be with a body is companionship, you will be compelled to  attempt to keep your brother in his body, held there by guilt. And
Tx:15.83 The Holy Spirit is God's  attempt to free you of what He does not understand. And because of

Tx:15.100  no alternatives but these. You have tried many compromises in the  attempt to avoid recognizing the one decision which must be made. And

Tx:16.8 You will  attempt to do this only in secrecy. And you will think that, by
Tx:16.30  out of sight. It is essential to bring it into sight and to make no  attempt to hide it. For it is the attempt to balance hate with love
Tx:16.30  bring it into sight and to make no attempt to hide it. For it is the  attempt to balance hate with love that makes love meaningless to you.
Tx:16.32 The special love relationship is an  attempt to limit the destructive effects of hate by finding a haven
Tx:16.32  of hate by finding a haven in the storm of guilt. It makes no  attempt to rise above the storm into the sunlight. On the contrary,
Tx:16.35  Every illusion is one of fear, whatever form it takes. And the  attempt to escape from one illusion into another must fail. If you
Tx:16.36  be distinguished from illusion: The special love relationship is an  attempt [to bring love into separation. And, as such, it is nothing
Tx:16.44 Very simply, the  attempt to make guilty is always directed against God. For the ego
Tx:16.46  special relationship is the renunciation of the love of God and the  attempt to secure for the self the specialness which He denied. It is
Tx:16.48  joining hell and Heaven and making them indistinguishable. And the  attempt to find the imagined “best” of both worlds has merely led to
Tx:16.48  a kind of union from which union is excluded, and the basis for the  attempt at union rests on exclusion. What better example could there
Tx:16.55  it. See in the special relationship nothing more than a meaningless  attempt to raise other gods before Him and by worshiping them to
Tx:16.70  the special relationship. For the special relationship is an  attempt to reenact the past and change it. Imagined slights,
Tx:16.76 For a time you may  attempt to bring illusions into the holy instant to hinder your full
Tx:16.76  between your experience of truth and illusion. Yet you will not  attempt this long. In the holy instant, the power of the Holy Spirit
Tx:17.6  fantasy, you are refusing to forgive yourself for just this same  attempt. And you are holding both of you away from truth and from
Tx:17.16  the name of love. And finally why all such relationships become the  attempt at union through the body, for only bodies can be seen as
Tx:17.19  the other really brings to it, the “better” it becomes. Thus, the  attempt at union becomes a way of excluding even the one with whom
Tx:17.63  aspect of the situation which seems to be difficult, the ego will  attempt to take this aspect elsewhere and resolve it there. And it
Tx:17.63  it there. And it will seem to be successful, except that this  attempt conflicts with unity and must obscure the goal of truth. And
Tx:18.32  it is necessary that you realize that you cannot do more. Do not  attempt to give the Holy Spirit what He does not ask, or you will add
Tx:18.36  the answer as it is given. In preparing for the holy instant, do not  attempt to make yourself holy to be ready to receive it. That is but
Tx:18.42  all fear and hatred from your mind. That is its function. Never  attempt to overlook your guilt before you ask the Holy Spirit's help.

Tx:20.65  Your holy brother, sight of whom is your release, is no illusion.  Attempt to see him not in darkness, for your imaginings about him
Tx:21.4 How foolish it is to  attempt to judge what could be seen instead. It is not necessary to

Tx:21.29  perhaps more often of the other. Thus in the “fairness” you  attempt to ease the guilt that comes from the accepted purpose of the

Tx:15.31  that binds the host of God to guilt and weakness with the glad  awareness of the glory that is in him. My birth in you is your
Tx:15.35  readiness for your acceptance. Yet you cannot bring it into glad  awareness while you do not want it, for it holds the whole release

Tx:15.81  of God's Son is the loneliness of his Father. Refuse not the  awareness of your completion and seek not to restore it to

Tx:15.104  is the condition of sacrifice, as peace is the condition for the  awareness of your relationship with God. Through guilt you exclude
Tx:16.13  minds join as one and share one idea equally, the first link in the  awareness of the Sonship as one has been made. When you have made

Tx:16.74  shaken. Yet the one thing which the ego never allows to reach  awareness is that the special relationship is the acting out of
Tx:16.76  attempt to bring illusions into the holy instant to hinder your full  awareness of the complete difference in all respects between your

W1:196.1 When this is firmly understood and kept in full  awareness, you will not attempt to harm yourself nor make your body
W2:225.1  all Your love to me. I must return it, for I want it mine in full  awareness, blazing in my mind, and keeping it within its kindly
W2:246.1  Self. Let me not fail to recognize myself and still believe that my  awareness can contain my Father, or my mind conceive of all the love

W2:323.2  and in joy. We are deceived no longer. Love has now returned to our  awareness. And we are at peace again, for fear has gone and only love

M:12.6  put his faith in dreams, once they are recognized for what they are?  Awareness of dreaming is the real function of God's teachers. They
M:13.8  Decide against Him, and you choose nothing at the expense of the  awareness of everything. What would you teach? Remember only what you
M:16.10  he never had. And for this “sacrifice” is Heaven restored to his  awareness.
M:19.4 Salvation is God's justice. It restores to your  awareness the wholeness of the fragments you perceive as broken off
M:22.2  problem areas from it. In some cases, there is a sudden and complete  awareness of the perfect applicability of the lesson of the Atonement
M:25.1  each individual has many abilities of which he is unaware. As his  awareness increases, he may well develop abilities that seem quite
M:26.1  directly, for there is no distance between Him and His Son. His  awareness is in everyone's memory, and His Word is written on
M:26.1  memory, and His Word is written on everyone's heart. Yet this  awareness and this memory can arise across the threshold of the

Tx:1.34  My word, which is the resurrection and the light, shall not pass  away, because light is eternal. You are the work of God, and His work
Tx:2.67  begins with the awakening of the Spiritual eye and the turning  away from the belief in physical sight. The reason this so often
Tx:3.22 I have been correctly referred to as “the Lamb of God who taketh  away the sins of the world.” Those who represent the lamb as
Tx:3.24  of the truly loved to others who are like them. The lamb taketh  away the sins of the world only in the sense that the state of
Tx:3.80  that the branch that bears no fruit will be cut off and will wither  away. Be glad! The light will shine from the true Foundation of Life,
Tx:4.26  made the ego. You do have knowledge at times, but when you throw it  away, it is as if you never had it. This willfulness is so apparent
Tx:4.28  though this is anything but true. Babies scream in rage if you take  away a knife or a scissors, even though they may well harm themselves

Tx:4.63  is easily made if you actively refuse to let your minds slip  away. The problem is not one of concentration; it is the belief that
Tx:4.64 Your mind and mine can unite in shining your ego  away and releasing the strength of God into everything you think and
Tx:4.64  carefully for any beliefs that hinder its accomplishment, and step  away from them. Judge how well you have done this by your own
Tx:4.85  you react egotistically towards each other, you are throwing  away the graciousness of your indebtedness and the holy perception it
Tx:4.92  you teach someone the value of something he has deliberately thrown  away? He must have thrown it away because he did not value it. You
Tx:4.92  of something he has deliberately thrown away? He must have thrown it  away because he did not value it. You can only show him how miserable
Tx:5.6  it. All of it is still yours, although all of it has been given  away. Further, if the person to whom you give it accepts it as his,

Tx:6.44 Only thus can you win back the knowledge that you threw  away. An idea which you share, you must have. It awakens in you
Tx:6.60  Holy Spirit makes no distinction among dreams. He merely shines them  away. His light is always the call to awake, whatever you have been
Tx:6.64  accomplish on behalf of the Kingdom to let this crucial concept slip  away. It is a real foundation stone of the thought system I teach and
Tx:6.94  illusion, but you must learn to accept truth, because you threw it  away. You therefore saw yourself as if you were without it. By making

Tx:9.54  Truth does not vacillate; it is always true. When grandeur slips  away from you, you have replaced it with something you have made.
Tx:9.67  wholly, for if to desire wholly is to create, you will have willed  away the separation, returning your mind simultaneously to your
Tx:10.16  step toward recognizing what you truly want. Every attack is a step  away from this, and every healing thought brings it closer. The Son
Tx:10.63  of the resurrection demands nothing, for He does not will to take  away. He does not require obedience, for obedience implies
Tx:10.75  let Him interpret it for you, He will restore what you have thrown  away. As long as you think you know its meaning, you will see no need
Tx:11.9  with the fear, having recognized it, you would have taken a step  away from reality, not towards it. Yet we have repeatedly emphasized
Tx:11.22  the Holy Spirit will judge and will judge truly. He cannot shine  away what you keep hidden, for you have not offered it to Him, and He
Tx:11.77  The Father has hidden His Son safely within Himself and kept him far  away from your destructive thoughts, but you know neither the Father
Tx:11.95  him. And so it has always been. Let the holiness of God's Son shine  away the cloud of guilt that darkens your mind, and by accepting his
Tx:11.96  the ego's. And immortality is the opposite of time, for time passes  away, while immortality is constant.
Tx:12.14  would crush you into nothingness. You are afraid it would sweep you  away from yourself and make you little. For you believe that
Tx:12.14  destroy; and by loving Him, which you do, you would throw this world  away, which you would. Therefore, you have used the world to cover
Tx:12.37  recoils from what he fears. And you react with fear to love and draw  away from it. Yet fear attracts you, and believing it is love, you
Tx:12.61  turn in sadness from it, you cannot find in it the road that leads  away from it into another world.
Tx:12.62  but do not want. The only effort you need make to give this world  away in glad exchange for what you did not make is willingness to
Tx:12.63  cannot see it, for whenever judgment enters, reality has slipped  away. The out of mind is out of sight because what is denied is there
Tx:12.72  you are tempted to undertake a foolish journey that would lead  away from light, remember what you really want and say,
Tx:12.75  it of me in glad exchange for all the world has offered but to take  away. And we will spread it like a veil of light across the world's
Tx:13.34  on it. Before the glorious radiance of the Kingdom, guilt melts  away and, transformed into kindness, will never more be what it was.
Tx:13.47  their seeming clearness seems to be clearly seen. Let us now turn  away from them and follow the simple logic by which the Holy Spirit
Tx:13.48  conditions must be acquired, for it is they that have been thrown  away. You can learn to bless and cannot give what you have not. If,
Tx:13.48  must also have accepted it as yours, for how else could you give it  away?
Tx:13.62  and behind it is nothing. The key is only the light which shines  away the shapes and forms and fears of nothing. Accept this key to
Tx:13.70  and enter light with him. By giving power to nothing, he threw  away the joyous opportunity to learn that nothing has no power. And
Tx:13.82  and learn of all the happy communication that you have thrown  away but could not lose.
Tx:14.1  guilty is denial of the Father so complete that knowledge is swept  away from recognition in the very mind where God Himself has placed
Tx:14.2  your making, but not without you. You who have thrown your selves  away and valued God so little, hear me speak for Him and for
Tx:14.8  it. Protect his purity from every thought that would steal it  away and keep it from his sight. Bring innocence to light in answer
Tx:14.8  of the Atonement. Never allow purity to remain hidden, but shine  away the heavy veils of guilt within which the Son of God has hidden
Tx:14.8  can unite us in this world. So will the world of separation slip  away and full communication be restored between the Father and the
Tx:14.16  and in ignorance that you perceive the frightening, and you shrink  away from it to further darkness. And yet it is only the hidden that
Tx:14.19  destruction is not true. The light of guiltlessness shines guilt  away because, when they are brought together, the truth of one must
Tx:14.24  truth is union. As darkness disappears in light, so ignorance fades  away when knowledge dawns. Perception is the medium by which
Tx:14.30  asks of you but this—bring to Him every secret you have locked  away from Him. Open every door to Him and bid Him enter the darkness
Tx:14.30  Open every door to Him and bid Him enter the darkness and lighten it  away. At your request He enters gladly. He brings the light to
Tx:14.35 Let your minds wander not through darkened corridors,  away from light's center. You may choose to lead yourselves astray,
Tx:15.36  go. The instant in which magnitude will dawn upon you is but as far  away as your desire for it. As long as you desire it not and cherish
Tx:15.44  would keep unto yourself. Let the Holy Spirit's purity shine them  away and bring all your awareness to the readiness for purity He
Tx:15.80  relationships at all. You but seek in them what you have thrown  away. And through them you will never learn the value of what you
Tx:15.90  but because your power, being His, is as great as His, you can turn  away from love. What you invest in guilt, you withdraw from God. And
Tx:15.97 As host to the ego, you believe that you can give all your guilt  away whatever you think and purchase peace. And the payment does not
Tx:15.99  of not accepting this has been so great that you have given God  away rather than look at it. For if God would demand total sacrifice
Tx:15.99  sacrifice of you, you thought it safer to project Him outward and  away from you and not be host to Him. To Him you ascribed the ego's
Tx:15.106  preferred to keep that has no meaning, while all that you would keep  away holds all the meaning of the universe and holds the universe
Tx:16.11  part of the whole. And this is but a way of avoiding or looking  away from the whole to what you think you might be better able to
Tx:16.15  His understanding of the miracle be enough for you, and do not turn  away from all the witnesses that He has given you to His reality.
Tx:16.25  answer to the separation added more to you than you tried to take  away. He protected both your creations and you together, keeping one
Tx:16.41  is very near. You have almost recognized it. Turn with me firmly  away from all illusions now, and let nothing stand in the way of
Tx:16.41  stand in the way of truth. We will take the last foolish journey  away from truth together, and then together we go straight to God in
Tx:16.49  in which it thinks it can accomplish this, it gives itself  away and tries to “trade” itself for the self of another. This is not
Tx:16.49  For how much value can he place upon a self that he would give  away to get a better one?
Tx:16.57  system is a carefully contrived learning experience designed to lead  away from truth and into fantasy. Yet for every learning that would
Tx:17.3  appreciation of the whole! What you reserve unto yourself, you take  away from Him Who would release you. Unless you give it back, it is
Tx:17.6  yourself for just this same attempt. And you are holding both of you  away from truth and from salvation. As you forgive him, you restore
Tx:18.20  in your special relationship. He does not destroy it nor snatch it  away from you. [But He does use it differently, as a help to make His
Tx:18.26  of what you have made of it. You are advancing to love's meaning and  away from all illusions in which you have surrounded it. When you
Tx:18.26  fearful. Yet what is that to us who travel surely and very swiftly  away from fear?
Tx:18.27  And fear must disappear before you now. Be tempted not to snatch  away the gift of faith you offered to each other. You will succeed
Tx:18.31  Great Rays extend back into darkness and forward unto God to shine  away the past and so make room for His eternal Presence, in which
Tx:18.38 And that is all. Add more and you will merely take  away the little that is asked. Remember you made guilt and that your
Tx:18.60  be with it. And so you rush to meet it, letting your limits melt  away, suspending all the “laws” your body obeys and gently setting
Tx:18.80  stretch across the desert, leaving no lonely little kingdoms locked  away from love and leaving you inside. And you will recognize
Tx:18.83  you. Blow on it lightly and with happy laughter, and it will fall  away. And walk into the garden love has prepared for both of you.
Tx:19.20  Is this humility? Or is it, rather, an attempt to wrest creation  away from truth and keep it separate?
Tx:19.43 Would you thrust salvation  away from the giver of salvation? For such have you become. Peace
Tx:19.43  asked the Holy Spirit to share with you. The little wall will fall  away so quietly beneath the wings of peace! For peace will send its
Tx:19.43  its messengers from you to all the world. And barriers will fall  away before their coming as easily as those which you would interpose
Tx:19.44  against it. And all that seems to stand between you must fall  away because of the appeal you answered. For from you who answered,
Tx:19.48  snow? See but how easily this little wisp is lifted up and carried  away, never to return, and part with it in gladness, not regret. For
Tx:19.51  fear is merciless even to its friends. Its messengers steal guiltily  away in hungry search of guilt, for they are kept cold and starving
Tx:19.67  to freedom and bar my way to you. Yet it is not possible to keep  away One Who is there already. And in Him it is possible that our
Tx:19.74 The ego's messages are always sent  away from you in the belief that for your message of attack and guilt
Tx:19.78  “sinners,” the ego's mournful chorus, plodding so heavily  away from life, dragging their chains and marching in the slow
Tx:19.78  them with the gentle hands of forgiveness and watch the chains fall  away along with yours. See him throw aside the black robe he was

Tx:20.2  in the other, uncertain which to give. Join now with me and throw  away the thorns, offering the lilies to replace them. This Easter, I
Tx:20.36  need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt  away before you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless
Tx:20.48  the offerings on which its idols thrive. The rest it merely throws  away, for all that it could offer is seen as valueless. Homeless, the
Tx:20.76  the ego's purpose brought to your horrified awareness. They step  away from sin, reminding you that it is not reality which frightens
Tx:20.77  water running happily beside them in dancing brooks that never waste  away, who need persuade you to accept the gift of vision? And after
Tx:21.18  Withhold it, and you keep the world as now you see it. Give it  away, and everything you see goes with it. Never was so much given
Tx:21.22  simply to recognize again the presence of what you thought you gave  away.
Tx:21.31  faith in opposite directions. What faith you give to sin you take  away from holiness. And what you offer holiness has been removed from
Tx:21.32  Through them the Holy Spirit leads you to the real world and  away from all illusions where your faith was laid. This is His
Tx:21.34  sin by which you sought to find it. But as He uses them, they lead  away from sin because His purpose lies in the opposite direction. He
Tx:21.36  this decision are also born of faith. For all who choose to look  away from sin are given vision and are led to holiness.
Tx:21.56  But reason enters not at all in this. For the perception would fall  away at once if reason were applied. There is no reason in insanity,
Tx:21.63  And if there is nothing in between, how can what enters part be kept  away from other parts? Reason would tell you this. But think what you
Tx:21.65  kind as is the purpose for which it is the means, leads steadily  away from madness toward the goal of truth. And here you will lay
Tx:22.59  the other lights up the world. Be not concerned with darkness; look  away from it and toward each other. And let the darkness be dispelled
Tx:23.16  apart. Open the door of His most holy home and let forgiveness sweep  away all trace of the belief in sin that keeps God homeless and His
Tx:23.27  your gain, and thus it fails to recognize that you can never take  away save from yourself. Yet all the other laws must lead to this.
Tx:23.39  of truth's reversal, leading still deeper into terror and  away from truth. Think not one step is smaller than another nor that
Tx:24.20  Just one step more and every vestige of the fear of God will melt  away in love. Your brother's specialness and yours are enemies and
Tx:24.24  in madness and in loneliness your special kingdom, apart from God,  away from truth and from salvation.
Tx:24.25 The key you threw  away God gave your brother, whose holy hands would offer it to you
Tx:24.27  not. And yet this idol that seems to give you power has taken it  away. For you have given your brother's birthright to it, leaving him
Tx:25.1  where they thought their bodies were. Then will their bodies melt  away that they may frame His holiness in them.
Tx:25.34  world of light, the darkness they thought was there is pushed  away until it is but distant shadows, far away, not long to be
Tx:25.34  was there is pushed away until it is but distant shadows, far  away, not long to be remembered as the sun shines them to
Tx:25.35  thoughts that haunt you now will seem increasingly remote and far  away from you. And they go farther and farther off because the sun in
Tx:25.35  farther off because the sun in you has risen that they may be pushed  away before the light. They linger for a while, a little while, in
Tx:25.35  They linger for a while, a little while, in twisted forms too far  away for recognition and are gone forever. And in the sunlight you
Tx:25.35  will the rest you found extend, so that your peace can never fall  away and leave you homeless. Those who offer peace to everyone have
Tx:25.44  accustomed to the dim effects perceived at twilight. And they turn  away from sunlight and the clarity it brings to what they look upon.
Tx:25.76  he thinks he is deprived. And so must he be envious and try to take  away from whom he judges. He is not impartial and cannot fairly see
Tx:26.2  and what is out can never reach and join with what is locked  away within the wall. Each part must sacrifice the other part to keep
Tx:26.13  is suffering, but needlessly. And so He takes the thorns and nails  away. He does not pause to judge whether the hurt be large or little.
Tx:26.16  And in its place the love of God can be remembered and will shine  away all memory of sacrifice and loss.
Tx:26.17  seems to hold the door securely barred and locked will merely fall  away and disappear. For it is not your Father's Will that you should
Tx:26.30  the way to Heaven. You but choose whether to go toward Heaven or  away to nowhere. There is nothing else to choose.
Tx:26.34 The tiny instant you would keep and make eternal passed  away in Heaven too soon for anything to notice it had come. What
Tx:26.54  is but your wish to be apart and separate. Forgiveness takes  away what stands between your brother and yourself. It is the wish
Tx:26.60  each idea the mind conceives but adds to its abundance, never takes  away. This is as true of what is idly wished as what is truly willed,
Tx:26.83 Around you angels hover lovingly, to keep  away all darkened thoughts of sin and keep the light where it has
Tx:26.89  added, for the world is purposeless except for this. To add or take  away from this one goal is but to take away all purpose from the
Tx:26.89  for this. To add or take away from this one goal is but to take  away all purpose from the world and from yourself. And each
Tx:26.91  rather know of Them than see injustice which Their Presence shines  away.
Tx:27.6  who will see that every scar is healed and every tear is wiped  away in laughter and in love. And he will look on his forgiveness
Tx:27.10  picture changes not the body into something it is not. It only takes  away from it all signs of accusation and of blamefulness. Pictured
Tx:27.22  is not His, it is not yours, for you must lose what you would take  away.
Tx:27.54  His words from your awareness. Pain compels attention, drawing it  away from Him and focusing upon itself. Its purpose is the same as
Tx:27.71  The dreaming of the world is but a part of your own dream you gave  away and saw as if it were its start and ending both. Yet was it
Tx:27.78  good. It works to get them, doing senseless things, and tosses them  away for senseless things it does not need and does not even want. It
Tx:27.81  are one illusion, too ridiculous for anything but to be laughed  away. How serious they now appear to be! And no one can remember when
Tx:27.82  for laughter, not a cause for fear. Let us return the dream he gave  away unto the dreamer who perceives the dream as separate from
Tx:27.82  accomplishment and real effects. Together, we can laugh them both  away and understand that time cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a
Tx:27.87  make answer with this very simple truth. For this one answer takes  away the cause of every form of sorrow and of pain. The form affects
Tx:28.1  to what has been done. It does not add, but merely takes  away. And what it takes away is long since gone, but being kept in
Tx:28.1  been done. It does not add, but merely takes away. And what it takes  away is long since gone, but being kept in memory, appears to have
Tx:28.5  And thus do their effects appear to be increased by time, which took  away their cause.
Tx:28.6  seek to keep concealed the truth about yourself. Time neither takes  away nor can restore. And yet you make strange use of it, as if the
Tx:28.13  memory of God arises in the mind that has no fear to keep the memory  away. Its own remembering has gone. There is no past to keep its
Tx:28.28  that is already being dreamed. Without support, the dream will fade  away without effects. For it is your support that strengthens it.
Tx:28.42  dreams are yours because you let them be. But if you took your own  away would he be free of them and of his own as well. Your dreams are
Tx:28.66  rain will beat against it but with no effect. The world will wash  away, and yet this house will stand forever, for its strength lies
Tx:29.4  you from the “sacrifice” of love. The body saves you, for it gets  away from total sacrifice and gives you time in which to build again
Tx:29.7  is your allegiance and how frequently you have demanded that love go  away and leave you quietly alone in “peace.”
Tx:29.40  you would make eternal, to ensure that only Heaven would not pass  away.
Tx:29.66  gone forever. Seek not to retain the toys of children. Put them all  away, for you have need of them no more. The dream of judgment is a
Tx:29.67  used for something he is not, for childish things have all been put  away. And what was once a dream of judgment now has changed into a
Tx:29.68  it not. And where is time, when dreams of judgment have been put  away?
Tx:29.70  and have not attacked yourself. So do your childish terrors melt  away and dreams become a sign that you have made a new beginning, not
Tx:30.42  What idol can he need to be himself? For can he give a part of him  away? What is not whole cannot make whole. But what is really asked
Tx:30.59  himself. He has no wish for anything but this. And fear has dropped  away because he is united in his purpose with himself. There is a
Tx:30.62  your image of yourself and what you are, forgiveness washes joyfully  away. Yet God need not create His Son again that what is his be given
Tx:30.63  they see an idol that they want. Yet has their path been surely set  away from idols toward reality. For when they joined their hands, it
Tx:30.64  your hand is everything you need to walk with perfect confidence  away from fear forever and to go straight on and quickly reach the
Tx:30.82  in the day, and all that happens now means something else. You take  away another element, and every meaning shifts accordingly.
Tx:31.12  every image held of [anyone] be loosened from our minds and swept  away. Be innocent of judgment, unaware of any thoughts of evil or of
Tx:31.12  he free to live, as you are free because an ancient learning passed  away and left a place for truth to be reborn.
Tx:31.16  it at times you want to let the follower in you arise and give  away the role of leadership. And this is what you made your brother
Tx:31.20  walks beside us on the selfsame road. He is like us, as near or far  away from what we want as we will let him be. We make no gains he
Tx:31.22  learned before and put aside all images you made. The old will fall  away before the new without your opposition or intent. There will be
Tx:31.22  to learn. But as you hear it, you will understand you need but come  away without the thoughts you did not want and that were never true.
Tx:31.33  you, but you can choose which road will lead you out of conflict and  away from difficulties which concern you not. Yet they are your
Tx:31.37 Who would be willing to be turned  away from all the roadways of the world unless he understood their
Tx:31.39 Think not that happiness is ever found by following a road  away from it. This makes no sense and cannot be the way. To you who
Tx:31.39  repeat that to achieve a goal you must proceed in its direction, not  away from it. And every road that leads the other way will not
Tx:31.41  it must have unless it be but futile wandering? All roads that lead  away from what you are will lead you to confusion and despair. Yet
Tx:31.42 There is no road that leads  away from Him. A journey from yourself does not exist. How foolish
Tx:31.47  so devastating that the face which smiles above it must forever look  away, lest it perceive the treachery it hides. The lesson teaches
Tx:31.76  by an illusion of yourself which holds him off from you and you  away from him. The sword of judgment is the weapon which you give to
W1:1.3 Then look farther  away from your immediate area, and apply the idea to a wider range:
W1:9.2  exercises. Each little step will clear a little of the darkness  away, and understanding will finally come to lighten every corner of
W1:37.1  you and the world blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken  away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy vision. It
W1:41.6  you find it helpful. But most of all, try to sink down and inward,  away from the world and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You
W1:52.4  I am trying to use time against God. Let me learn to give the past  away, realizing that in so doing I am giving up nothing.
W1:56.2  fulfillment are my inheritance. I have tried to give my inheritance  away in exchange for the world I see. But God has kept my inheritance
W1:61.7  come to you, and repeat the idea to yourself if your mind wanders  away from the central thought.
W1:62.3  sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your mind. It will take  away all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the invulnerability
W1:62.4  it will help those around you as well as those who seem to be far  away in space and time to share this happiness with you.
W1:67.5  over several such related thoughts, try to let all thoughts drop  away for a brief preparatory interval, and then try to reach past all
W1:72.9  You have seen yourself in a body and the truth outside you, locked  away from your awareness by the body's limitations. Now we are going
W1:78.4  So is the seeing of the world reversed, as we look out toward truth,  away from fear.
W1:78.12  as part of God's salvation plan, and not our own. Temptation falls  away when we allow each one we meet to save us and refuse to hide his
W1:85.4  this as a block to sight. The light of the world will shine all this  away. I have no need for this. I want to see.
W1:85.7 Let this not tempt me to look  away from me for my salvation. I will not let this interfere with my
W1:92.8  of strength is constant, sure as love, forever glad to give itself  away because it cannot give but to itself. No one can ask in vain to
W1:92.11  today and recognize that we are being introduced to sight and led  away from darkness to the light, where only miracles can be perceived.
W1:93.10 Then put  away your foolish self-images and spend the rest of the practice
W1:94.1  disappear, and all the thoughts that this world ever held are wiped  away forever by this one idea. Here is salvation accomplished. Here
W1:95.18 Feel this One Self in you, and let it shine  away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son
W1:98.2  way, for we have been absolved from errors. All our sins are washed  away by realizing that they were but mistakes.
W1:101.3  must be feared, for it will kill but slowly, taking everything  away before it grants the welcome boon of death to victims who are
W1:105.4  looking at a gift. God's gifts will never lessen when they are given  away. They but increase thereby. As Heaven's peace and joy intensify
W1:105.5  cannot contain itself fulfill its aim of giving everything it has  away, securing it forever for itself.
W1:106.7  and thus it ends; when everything is yours, and everything is given  away, it will remain with you forever. And the lesson has been
W1:106.12 Today the holy Word of God is kept through your receiving it to give  away, so you can teach the world what giving means by listening and
W1:107.5  the appearances the world presents engender. They will merely blow  away when truth corrects the errors in your mind.
W1:109.6  its frantic fantasies were but the dreams of fever that has passed  away. Let it be still and thankfully accept its healing. No more
W1:109.6  dreams will come now that you rest in God. Take time today to slip  away from dreams and into peace.
W1:122.7 Here is the answer! Do not turn  away in aimless wandering again. Accept salvation now. It is the gift
W1:129.2  to avenge, and pitiless with hate. It gives but to rescind and takes  away all things that you have cherished for a while. No lasting love
W1:129.5 How far  away from this are you who stay bound to this world. And yet how near
W1:129.5  want. Now is the last step certain; now you stand an instant's space  away from timelessness. Here can you but look forward, never back to
W1:131.6  Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall  away, yet not because it has been taken from you. It will go because
W1:131.10  in place of truth. How could the Son of God make time to take  away the Will of God? He thus denies himself and contradicts what has
W1:131.16  reflects the truth you knew and did not quite forget in wandering  away in dreams.
W1:132.14  apart from God and made to separate the Father and the Son and break  away a part of God Himself and thus destroy His wholeness. Can a
W1:133.7  A temporary value is without all value. Time can never take  away a value that is real. What fades and dies was never there and
W1:133.8 Next, if you choose to take a thing  away from someone else, you will have nothing left. This is because
W1:133.8  things you really have, denying they are there. Who seeks to take  away has been deceived by the illusion loss can offer gain. Yet loss
W1:135.11  adds to your distress of mind. You do not heal but merely take  away the hope of healing, for you fail to see where hope must lie if
W1:136.8  to totter and prepare to fall. Now are you sick that truth may go  away and threaten your establishments no more.
W1:136.13  for such its purpose is. Perhaps it sighs a little when you throw  away its gifts, and yet it knows with perfect certainty that what God
W1:137.7 Just as forgiveness shines  away all sin and the real world will occupy the place of what you
W1:140.4  Atonement does not heal the sick, for that is not a cure. It takes  away the guilt that makes the sickness possible. And that is cure
W1:153.1  its brief relationships and all the “gifts” it merely lends to take  away again, attend this lesson well. The world provides no safety. It
W1:153.13  now. That game is over. Now a quiet time has come in which we put  away the toys of guilt and lock our quaint and childish thoughts of
W1:153.18  will know that Heaven goes with you. Nor would you keep your mind  away from Him a moment, even though your time is spent in offering
W1:154.7 An earthly messenger fulfills his role by giving all the messages  away. The messengers of God perform their part by their acceptance of
W1:154.7  for themselves and show they understand the messages by giving them  away. They choose no roles that are not given them by His authority.
W1:154.7  by His authority. And so they gain by every message which they give  away.
W1:155.5 Between these paths there is another road that leads  away from loss of every kind, for sacrifice and deprivation both are
W1:159.2  the storehouse of your mind where they are laid and giving them  away.
W1:159.7  where the suffering are healed and welcome. No one will be turned  away from this new home where his salvation waits. No one is stranger
W1:161.12  sins, whose sacred hands can take the nails which pierce your own  away and lift the crown of thorns which you have placed upon your
W1:162.2  of sin, and no illusion that the dream contains that will not fade  away before their might. They are the trumpet of awakening that
W1:164.2 The world fades easily  away before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A melody from far beyond
W1:164.8  go all things you think you want. Your trifling treasures put  away and leave a clean and open space within your mind where Christ
W1:165.5  you then exchange it for? What would induce you now to let it fade  away from your ecstatic vision? For this sight proves that you have
W1:166.4  and homeless too—an outcast wandering so far from home, so long  away, he does not realize he has forgotten where he came from, where
W1:168.3  But finally He comes Himself and takes us in His arms and sweeps  away the cobwebs of our sleep. His gift of grace is more than just an

W1:185.13  requested and received by anyone. God gives but to unite. To take  away is meaningless to Him. And when it is as meaningless to you, you
W1:186.1 Here is the statement that will one day take all arrogance  away from every mind. Here is the thought of true humility which
W1:187.2 How is this possible? For it is sure that if you give a finite thing  away, your body's eyes will not perceive it yours. Yet we have
W1:187.2  make them. And you do not lack for proof that when you give ideas  away, you strengthen them in your own mind. Perhaps the form in which
W1:187.4 Protect all things you value by the act of giving them  away, and you are sure that you will never lose them. What you
W1:187.9  Be not afraid to look. The blessedness you will behold will take  away all thought of form and leave instead the perfect gift forever
W1:187.9  forever there, forever to increase, forever yours, forever given  away.

W1:198.3 Forgiveness sweeps all other dreams  away, and though it is itself a dream, it breeds no others. All
W1:198.4  road that leads out of disaster, past all suffering, and finally  away from death. How could there be another way, when this one is the
W1:198.6  in which all will merge as one at last. And as this one will fade  away, the Word of God will come to take its place, for it will be
W1:207.1  where He abides. I need but turn to Him, and every sorrow melts  away as I accept His boundless Love for me. I am not a body. I am

Tx:5.30  I could come to provide the model for how to think. Psychology has  become the study of behavior, but no one denies the basic law that

Tx:5.51 You have  become willing to receive my messages as I give them without
Tx:5.59 Perhaps some of our concepts will  become clearer and more personally meaningful if the ego's use of
Tx:5.94  love to some Soul which God created. Perceiving this as “sin,” you  become defensive because you expect attack. The decision to react in

Tx:7.110  Sonship and given thanks to God. Everyone who learns this lesson has  become the perfect teacher, because he has learned it of the Holy
Tx:8.60  which he cannot learn. His sense of adequacy suffers, and he must  become depressed. Being faced with an impossible learning situation,

Tx:9.42 The ego will begin to attack your motives as soon as they  become clearly out of accord with its perception of you. This is when
Tx:9.48  is of God and only of Him. Therefore, it is in you. Whenever you  become aware of it, however dimly, you abandon the ego automatically,

Tx:10.49  you are believing that attack has power. Very simply, then, you have  become afraid of yourself. And no one wills to learn what he believes
Tx:10.61  I am leading you to a new kind of experience, which you will  become less and less willing to deny. Learning of Christ is easy, for
Tx:10.75  good and the bad, the false and the true. For as Heaven and earth  become one, even the real world will vanish from your sight. The end
Tx:10.75  the transfer of all perception to knowledge. The Bible tells you to  become as little children. Little children recognize that they do not

Tx:13.14  Therefore, you cannot value one without the other, and guilt has  become as true for you as innocence. You do not believe the Son of
Tx:13.16  to condemn the Son of God in part. Those whom you see as guilty  become the witnesses to guilt in you, and you will see it there, for
Tx:13.35 Forgetfulness and sleep and even death  become the ego's best advice for how to deal with the perceived and
Tx:13.53  He must introduce the simple truth into a thought system which has  become so twisted and so complex that you cannot see that it means

Tx:13.92 When you have learned how to decide with God, all decisions  become as easy and as right as breathing. There is no effort, and you
Tx:14.7  To accuse is not to understand. The happy learners of the Atonement  become the teachers of the innocence that is the right of all that

Tx:15.101  yourself from where it is not. Your brothers and your Father have  become very fearful to you. And you would bargain with them for a few
Tx:16.53  power to what you think you have attacked? So fearful has the truth  become to you that unless it is weak and little, [and unworthy of
Tx:16.58 How simple does this choice  become when it is perceived as only what it is. For only fantasies

Tx:17.1  Only in waking is the full release from them, for only then does it  become perfectly apparent that they had no effect on reality at all
Tx:17.6  He will accomplish it; not you. But forget not this: When you  become disturbed and lose your peace of mind because another is
Tx:17.12  knows that he has always rested there in peace. Even salvation will  become a dream and vanish from his mind. For salvation is the end of
Tx:17.16  to go by the name of love. And finally why all such relationships  become the attempt at union through the body, for only bodies can be
Tx:17.21  you can see it more and more. For you will want it more and more and  become increasingly unwilling to let it be hidden from you. And you

Tx:18.4  of illusion for truth, of fragmentation for wholeness. It has  become so splintered and subdivided and divided again, over and over,
Tx:18.16  not expect it to be gone. In dreams you arrange everything. People  become what you would have them be, and what they do you order. No
Tx:18.20  misery. As its unholiness kept it a thing apart, its holiness will  become an offering to everyone.
Tx:18.22  is unreal. The wish to make it is incredible. Your relationship has  become one in which the wish has been removed because its purpose has
Tx:18.40  the holy instant is difficult for you, it is because you have  become the arbiter of what is possible and remain unwilling to give
Tx:18.45  useful to the Holy Spirit, Who has a special function here. It will  become the happy dream through which He can spread joy to thousands
Tx:18.59  encompass it. It becomes part of you as you unite with it. And both  become whole as neither is perceived as separate. What really happens
Tx:19.9  has hurt your mind and how confused your own identification has  become because of it! You do not see how great [is] the devastation
Tx:19.25  not error. Sin will be repeated because of this attraction. Fear can  become so acute that the sin is denied the acting out, but while the
Tx:19.43  thrust salvation away from the giver of salvation? For such have you  become. Peace could no more depart from you than from God. Fear not
Tx:19.71  which is the invitation to pain. For it invites fear to enter and  become your purpose. The attraction of guilt must enter with it, and
Tx:20.11  knowing his savior stands beside him? With him, your vision has  become the greatest power for the undoing of illusion that God
Tx:20.26  and on ourselves. Here all thoughts of any separation between us  become impossible. You who were prisoners in separation are now made
Tx:21.6 The blind  become accustomed to their world by their adjustments to it. They
Tx:21.35 Faith and belief  become attached to vision, as all the means that once served sin are
Tx:22.10  they with him. And the strange, shifting ones he sees about him will  become to him his comforters, and he will recognize his home and see
Tx:22.37  other and is attracted to him to perpetuate his sins. And so it must  become impossible for each to see himself as causing sin by his
Tx:22.40  holy place He will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You will  become His messengers, returning Him unto Himself.
Tx:22.42  Into your joined hands is it safely given, for you who share it have  become its willing guardians and protectors.

Tx:23.2  You will believe that everything you use for sin can hurt you and  become your enemy. And you will fight against it and try to weaken it
Tx:23.18  disappears. So is the memory of God obscured in minds that have  become illusion's battleground. Yet far beyond this senseless war it
Tx:23.25  becomes impossible to turn to Him for help in misery. For now He has  become the “enemy” Who caused it and to Whom appeal is useless. Nor
Tx:23.25  God. And now salvation must remain impossible because the savior has  become the enemy.
Tx:23.44  recognize assault upon your peace in any form, if only thus does it  become impossible that you lose sight of it? It can be kept shining
Tx:24.4  reached, and meaningless decisions have been made and kept hidden to  become beliefs, now given power to direct all subsequent decisions.
Tx:24.6  “above” it, sinless by comparison with it. And thus does specialness  become a means and end at once. For specialness not only sets apart
Tx:24.7  Illusions can attack it, and they do. For what your brother must  become to keep your specialness is an illusion. He who is “worse”
Tx:24.71  my own beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.” Thus does the “son”  become the means to serve his “father's” purpose. Not identical, not
Tx:25.44 Eyes  become used to darkness, and the light of brilliant day seems painful
Tx:25.48  but changed in form to let it serve his brother and himself and thus  become a means to save instead of lose. Salvation is no more than a
Tx:25.86 The little problems that you keep and hide  become your secret sins because you did not choose to let them be
Tx:26.5  your special function has this world no meaning for you. Yet it can  become a treasure house as rich and limitless as Heaven itself. No
Tx:26.29 Where sin once was perceived will rise a world which will  become an altar to the truth, and you will join the lights of Heaven
Tx:26.70  wipe out the space you see between you still and let you instantly  become as one. And it is here you fear the loss would lie. Do not
Tx:26.79  and sparkling in the summer sun. What was a place of death has now  become a living temple in a world of light. Because of Them. It is
Tx:26.82 The holiest of all the spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has  become a present love. And They come quickly to the living temple,
Tx:27.11  can come and perfect healing take the place of death. The body can  become a sign of life, a promise of redemption, and a breath of
Tx:27.23  to punish sins you think are yours in someone else. And thus does he  become your victim, not your brother, different from you in that he
Tx:27.25  half the error, which you think is all of it. Your brother's sins  become the central target for correction, lest your errors and his
Tx:27.72  you dream. Yet underneath this dream is yet another in which you  become the murderer, the secret enemy, the scavenger and the
Tx:27.82  of God remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought  become a serious idea and possible of both accomplishment and real
Tx:28.37  you will suffer pain with him because that is your wish. And you  become a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you both
Tx:28.37  become a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you both  become illusions and without identity. You could be anyone or
Tx:28.41  as well as his. You cannot do his part, but this you do when you  become a passive figure in his dream instead of dreamer of your own.
Tx:29.15  to those who are confused is meaningless, and shift and change  become the law on which they predicate their lives.
Tx:29.28  has failed to fill the function you allotted him? And does not this  become the “reason” your attack is justified? The dreams you think
Tx:29.29 How happy would your dreams  become if you were not the one who gave the “proper” role to every
Tx:29.70  attacked yourself. So do your childish terrors melt away and dreams  become a sign that you have made a new beginning, not another try to
Tx:30.2  form which sees you through the rest. It is not wise to let yourself  become preoccupied with every step you take. The proper set, adopted
Tx:30.9  directed without fear, for opposition will not first arise and then  become a problem in itself.
Tx:30.70  by responding in a way which is not justified, your pardon will  become the answer to attack that has been made. And thus is pardon
Tx:30.81  to make an idol of the Son of God you will not pardon. For he has  become to you a graven image and a sign of death. Is this your
Tx:30.86  perception shift and meaning change. In one united goal does this  become impossible, for your agreement makes interpretation stabilize
Tx:31.1  exactly how to tell one from the other and just what to do if you  become confused. Why then do you persist in learning not such simple
Tx:31.26  outcomes, there is first one thing that must be overlearned. It must  become a habit of response so typical of everything you do that it
Tx:31.29  would abide in it. It sickens at the bidding of the mind that would  become its prisoner. And it grows old and dies because that mind is

W1:43.2  purpose. Made by the Son of God for an unholy purpose, it must  become the means for the restoration of his holiness to his

W1:68.6  hold against those you like and even think you love. It will quickly  become apparent that there is no one against whom you do not cherish
W1:71.9  will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself to  become depressed or angry at the second part; it is inherent in the
W1:72.11 Our goal in the longer practice periods today is to  become aware that God's plan for salvation has already been

W1:181.3  little focuses give way to our great need to let our sinlessness  become apparent. We instruct our minds that it is this we seek and
W1:181.9  And the love He feels for us becomes our own as well. This will  become the only thing we see reflected in the world and in ourselves.

M:4.17  Who created them. And does what God created need defense? No one can  become an advanced teacher of God until he fully understands that
M:5.8  mind he has no function except to rejoice with them, for they have  become teachers of God with him. He has, however, a more specific

M:7.6  Conflict about what you are has entered your mind, and you have  become deceived about yourself. And you are deceived about yourself,
M:10.2  or better, he has an illusion of giving up. He has actually merely  become more honest. Recognizing that judgment was always impossible
M:12.2 Thus does the son of man  become the Son of God. It is not really a change; it is a change of
M:12.4  purpose of the body. As they advance in their profession, they  become more and more certain that the body's function is but to let
M:12.5  lesson is always this—that what you use the body for, it will  become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as
M:16.2  in his own way. Routines as such are dangerous because they easily  become gods in their own right, threatening the very goals for which
M:18.3  its ears alone are thought to hear. Its little space and tiny breath  become the measure of reality. And truth becomes diminutive and
M:22.3  salvation is impossible. What then is left to heal? The body has  become lord of the mind. How could the mind be returned to the Holy
M:23.2  so. Temptation may recur to others, but never to this one. He has  become the risen Son of God. He has overcome death, because he has
M:23.2  limit on his power, because it is the Power of God. So has his name  become the name of God, for he no longer sees himself as separate
M:23.5  complete and flawless that he sees in it an image of his Father. You  become the symbol of his Father here on earth. To you he looks for
M:23.6  would we teach the limitations we have laid on us. No one who has  become a true and dedicated teacher of God forgets his brothers. Yet
M:24.4  finally accomplished, issues such as the validity of reincarnation  become meaningless. Until then they are likely to be merely
M:27.2  not of love, because he has denied that life is real. Death has  become life's symbol. His world is now a battleground where

Tx:8.56  you will see the use to which you have put yours. If the body  becomes for you a means which you give to the Holy Spirit to use on
Tx:8.61  Guided by the ego, it is. Guided by the Holy Spirit, it is not. It  becomes only a means by which the part of the mind you have separated

Tx:8.65  If the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the body  becomes whole, because the mind's purpose is one. Attack can only be
Tx:8.86  its results. Thus, “hellfire” means “burning,” but raising the dead  becomes allegorical. Actually, it is particularly the references to

Tx:10.58 Every brother you meet  becomes a witness for Christ or for the ego, depending on what you
Tx:11.1  but to stimuli as you interpret them. Your interpretation thus  becomes the justification for the response. That is why analyzing the
Tx:11.12  what fear conceals to clear-cut, unequivocal predominance, fear  becomes meaningless. You have denied its power to conceal love, which
Tx:11.14  they could not be sick. The task of the miracle-worker thus  becomes to deny the denial of truth. The sick must heal themselves,
Tx:11.47  provided by a Teacher Who can transcend your limited resources. He  becomes your resource because, of yourself, you cannot learn. The
Tx:11.59  of your training under the Holy Spirit's guidance increases and  becomes generalized. Gradually you learn to apply it to everyone and

Tx:12.26  By the notion of paying for the past in the future, the past  becomes the determiner of the future, making them continuous without
Tx:13.2 The very real difference between perception and knowledge  becomes quite apparent if you consider this: There is nothing partial
Tx:13.80  of what God knows about you, and in this light, error of any kind  becomes impossible. Why would you struggle so frantically to
Tx:13.88  and restore what always was to your unforgiving mind. Atonement  becomes real and visible to them that use it. On earth this is your
Tx:14.12 Peace, then, be unto everyone who  becomes a teacher of peace. For peace is the acknowledgment of
Tx:14.14  cannot crucify nor suffer crucifixion. The temple you restore  becomes your altar, for it was rebuilt through you. And everything
Tx:14.24  Yet the perception must be without deceit, for otherwise it  becomes the messenger of ignorance rather than a helper in the search
Tx:14.25  recognized or unrecognized, real or false to you. If you hide it, it  becomes unreal to you because you hid it and surrounded it with fear.

Tx:14.47  shared and not reflected. By sharing its reflection here, its truth  becomes the only perception the Son of God accepts. And thus,
Tx:14.57  We have already learned that this identity is shared. The miracle  becomes the means of sharing it. By supplying your identity wherever

Tx:15.91  no limits on your union with Him.] The reality of this relationship  becomes the only truth that you could ever want. All truth is here.
Tx:15.105  justified. And as long as you would retain the deprivation, attack  becomes salvation, and sacrifice becomes love.
Tx:15.105  retain the deprivation, attack becomes salvation, and sacrifice  becomes love.
Tx:16.32  of love. If the illusion goes, the relationship is broken or  becomes unsatisfying on the grounds of disillusionment.
Tx:16.60  closer you look at the special relationship, the more apparent it  becomes that it must foster guilt and therefore must imprison.
Tx:16.70  and deprivations all enter into the special relationship, which  becomes a way in which you seek to restore your wounded self-esteem.
Tx:16.74  in yourself. You have denied that it is there, and the relationship  becomes your substitute for it. And vengeance becomes your substitute
Tx:16.74  and the relationship becomes your substitute for it. And vengeance  becomes your substitute for Atonement, and the escape from vengeance
Tx:16.74  becomes your substitute for Atonement, and the escape from vengeance  becomes your loss.

Tx:17.19 The “ideal” of the unholy relationship thus  becomes one in which the reality of the other does not enter at all
Tx:17.19  dream. And the less the other really brings to it, the “better” it  becomes. Thus, the attempt at union becomes a way of excluding even
Tx:17.19  brings to it, the “better” it becomes. Thus, the attempt at union  becomes a way of excluding even the one with whom the union was
Tx:17.39  seems to shine in darkness from the frame is exposed to light, it  becomes dull and lifeless and ceases to distract you from the
Tx:17.44  accomplishment. In all its aspects, as it begins, develops, and  becomes accomplished, it represents the reversal of the unholy
Tx:17.46 The temptation of the ego  becomes extremely intense with this shift in goals. For the
Tx:17.58  the outcome. In the ego's procedure, this is reversed. The situation  becomes the determiner of the outcome, which can be anything. The

Tx:17.60  The true becomes what can be used to meet the goal. The false  becomes the useless from this point of view. The situation now has
Tx:17.66  an error in your thoughts about the situation, which then  becomes the justification for your lack of faith. You will make this
Tx:17.76  been demonstrated has called for faith and has been given it. Now it  becomes a fact from which faith can no longer be withheld. The strain
Tx:18.15  because the fact that reality is so outrageously violated in them  becomes apparent. Yet they are a way of looking at the world and
Tx:18.59  and something else in which your mind enlarges to encompass it. It  becomes part of you as you unite with it. And both become whole as
Tx:18.73  illusion, holding itself apart against the universe. The sun  becomes the sunbeam's “enemy” which would devour it, and the ocean
Tx:18.79  the barren ground. See how life springs up everywhere! The desert  becomes a garden, green and deep and quiet, offering rest to those
Tx:19.2 Every situation properly perceived  becomes an opportunity to heal the Son of God. And he is healed
Tx:19.3  as separated from the Universal Purpose. When this occurs, the body  becomes its weapon used against this Purpose to demonstrate the
Tx:19.3  demonstrate the “fact” that separation has occurred. The body thus  becomes the instrument of illusion, acting accordingly; seeing what
Tx:19.4  a body, you have established a condition in which uniting with him  becomes impossible. Your faithlessness to him has separated you from
Tx:19.34  perception, the mind corrects it when it seems to be seen, and it  becomes invisible. And errors are quickly recognized and quickly
Tx:19.72  then, is the attraction of pain. Ruled by this perception, the body  becomes the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying the
Tx:20.1  peace, not pain. A slain Christ has no meaning. But a risen Christ  becomes the symbol of the Son of God's forgiveness of himself; the
Tx:20.23  and so meaningless it slips unnoticed through the universe of truth,  becomes your guide. To it you turn to ask the meaning of the
Tx:20.72  in unadjusted form and suited perfectly to meet it. Destructiveness  becomes benign, and sin is turned to blessing under His gentle gaze.
Tx:21.25 When vision is denied, confusion of cause and effect  becomes inevitable. The purpose now becomes to keep obscure the cause
Tx:21.25  confusion of cause and effect becomes inevitable. The purpose now  becomes to keep obscure the cause of the effect and make effect
Tx:21.72  no reason in them. A flower turns into a poisoned spear, a child  becomes a giant, and a mouse roars like a lion. And love is turned to
Tx:21.82  for constancy in your desire to see the real world, so the desire  becomes the only one you have. By answering the final question “yes,”
Tx:22.4  sense of differences so that the sameness that lies beneath them all  becomes apparent. Here is the golden circle where you recognize the
Tx:23.2 How strange indeed  becomes this war against yourself! You will believe that everything
Tx:23.17  altar disappears, the light grows dim, the temple of the Holy One  becomes a house of sin. And nothing is remembered except illusions.
Tx:23.22  the Son of God can make mistakes for which his own destruction  becomes inevitable.
Tx:23.23  aspects of the Son meet only to conflict but not to join. One  becomes weak, the other strong by his defeat. And fear of God and of
Tx:23.25 See how the fear of God is reinforced by this third principle. Now it  becomes impossible to turn to Him for help in misery. For now He has
Tx:23.26 There can be no release and no escape. Atonement thus  becomes a myth, and vengeance, not forgiveness, is the Will of God.
Tx:23.27  is the belief you have what you have taken. By this, another's loss  becomes your gain, and thus it fails to recognize that you can never
Tx:24.10  wish to separate arises here. For here the purpose which you share  becomes obscured from both of you. You would oppose this course
Tx:24.34  yourself. Faith is invested in yourself alone. Everything else  becomes your enemy—feared and attacked, deadly and dangerous, hated
Tx:24.48  the way that He must go to find Himself complete. His quietness  becomes your certainty. And where is doubt when certainty has come?
Tx:25.19  you to look upon. His sinlessness but pictures yours. His gentleness  becomes your strength, and both will gladly look within and see the
Tx:25.31  choice your future? For you make it now, the instant when all time  becomes a means to reach a goal. Make then your choice. But recognize
Tx:25.80  When anyone is seen as losing, he has been condemned. And punishment  becomes his due instead of justice.
Tx:25.86  for yourself. The miracle that you receive, you give. Each one  becomes an illustration of the law on which salvation rests—that
Tx:26.3 The little that the body fences off  becomes the self, preserved through sacrifice of all the rest. And
Tx:26.3  the body's loss would be a sacrifice indeed. For sight of bodies  becomes the sign that sacrifice is limited and something still
Tx:26.25  and still believes that he has much to be forgiven. Forgiveness thus  becomes the means by which he learns he has done nothing to forgive.
Tx:26.52  creation be subjected to the laws of two opposing powers until God  becomes impatient, splits the world apart, and relegates attack unto
Tx:26.82  resting-place as well as yours. What hatred has released to love  becomes the brightest light in Heaven's radiance. And all the lights
Tx:27.3  no pain and no reproach at all. And what was martyred to his guilt  becomes the perfect witness to his innocence.
Tx:27.9  perceived as neutral and without a goal inherent in itself. For it  becomes the symbol of reproach, the sign of guilt whose consequences
Tx:27.32  an unused interval of time not seen as spent and fully occupied,  becomes a silent invitation to the truth to enter and to make itself
Tx:27.50  despite their different forms. All learning aims at transfer, which  becomes complete within two situations which are seen as one, for
Tx:27.69 No one can waken from a dream the world is dreaming for him. He  becomes a part of someone else's dream. He cannot choose to waken
Tx:28.23  and cause are first split off and then reversed, so that effect  becomes a cause; the cause, effect.
Tx:28.48  Where one appears, the other disappears. And which you share  becomes the only one you have. You have the one which you accept,
Tx:29.17  For it asks that God be less than all He really is. What, then,  becomes of you, for it is you of whom the sacrifice is asked? For He
Tx:29.17  and He is lessened by the loss of you. And what is gone from Him  becomes your god, protecting you from being part of Him.
Tx:29.22  brother's dreams. So perfectly can you forgive him his illusions, he  becomes your savior from your dreams. And as you see him shining in
Tx:29.25  They are dreams because they are not true. Their equal lack of truth  becomes the basis for the miracle, which means that you have
Tx:29.29  that they seem to be what they are for. A shadow figure who attacks  becomes a brother giving you a chance to help if this becomes the
Tx:29.29  who attacks becomes a brother giving you a chance to help if this  becomes the function of the dream. And dreams of sadness thus are
Tx:29.30  given Him. Because He loves the dreamer not the dream, each dream  becomes an offering of love. For at its center is His love for you,
Tx:29.50  which you must protect against the light of truth. And all the world  becomes the means by which this idol can be saved. Salvation thus
Tx:29.65  his thoughts and gives them to the toys instead. And their reality  becomes his own because they seem to save him from his thoughts. Yet
Tx:29.66  more. The dream of judgment is a children's game in which the child  becomes the father, powerful, but with the little wisdom of a child.
Tx:30.1 The new beginning now  becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is clear, but now you
Tx:30.57  to be forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, and the escape from guilt  becomes its aim. The value of forgiveness is perceived and takes the
Tx:30.58  the means by which it can be gained can now be understood. The world  becomes a place of hope because its only purpose is to be a place
Tx:30.92  gifts upon God's Son. When he is tempted, he denies reality. And he  becomes the willing slave of what he chose instead.
Tx:31.11  want? It is the recognition that it is a state of mind unwanted that  becomes the means whereby the choice is reassessed; another outcome
Tx:31.15  roles, forever split between the two. And every friend or enemy  becomes a means to help you save yourself from this.
Tx:31.26  become a habit of response so typical of everything you do that it  becomes your first response to all temptation and to every situation
Tx:31.68  “bad” must lurk behind. This concept emphasizes treachery, and trust  becomes impossible. Nor could it change while you perceive the “bad”
W1:3.1  ones, without making distinctions of any kind. Whatever you see  becomes a proper subject for applying the idea. Be sure that you do
W1:5.1  true. However, until you learn that form does not matter, each form  becomes a proper subject for the exercises for the day. Applying the
W1:22.1  at him. His own attack is thus perceived as self defense. This  becomes an increasingly vicious circle until he is willing to change
W1:39.10  is very difficult at first. It will become much easier as your mind  becomes more disciplined and less distractible.
W1:43.2  Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God's. Healed perception  becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his brother and
W1:64.2  your sins. In this perception, the physical appearance of temptation  becomes the spiritual recognition of salvation.
W1:64.4  your function is to be happy by using the means by which happiness  becomes inevitable.
W1:84.5  I am attacking love and therefore attacking my Self. My Self thus  becomes alien to me. I am determined not to attack my Self today, so
W1:91.13  will see miracles because Their strength is yours. Their strength  becomes your eyes that you may see.
W1:97.4  still; the miracle in which a minute spent in using these ideas  becomes a time which has no length and which has no end. Give, then,
W1:99.2  illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The impossible  becomes the thing you need forgiveness for, salvation from. Salvation
W1:103.6  welcome all the happiness it brings, as truth replaces fear, and joy  becomes what you expect to take the place of pain. God being Love, it
W1:106.10  the world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the world  becomes ready to understand and to receive.
W1:122.10  hopefulness, for we have reached the turning point at which the road  becomes far easier. And now the way is short that yet we travel. We
W1:134.8  illusions as illusions, not as truth. It is because of this that it  becomes the undeceiver in the face of lies, the great restorer of the
W1:134.14  would meet with our reality in freedom and in peace. Our practicing  becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for all our brothers, who
W1:135.9  defense, need merely be perceived as quite apart from you, and it  becomes a healthy, serviceable instrument through which the mind can

W1:135.17  is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has learned before  becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past experience directs
W1:135.20  trace of sorrow and with joy which constantly increases as this life  becomes a holy instant, set in time but heeding only immortality. Let
W1:135.20  no defenses but your present trust direct the future, and this life  becomes a meaningful encounter with the truth that only your defenses
W1:137.1  Sickness is a retreat from others and a shutting off of joining. It  becomes a door that closes on a separate self and keeps it isolated
W1:137.6  think not healing is unworthy of your function here. For anti-Christ  becomes more powerful than Christ to those who dream the world is
W1:137.6  body seems to be more solid and more stable than the mind. And love  becomes a dream, while fear remains the one reality that can be seen

W2:249.1 Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss  becomes impossible, and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, and
W2:249.1  suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world  becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving. It is
W2:264.1  every hand that reaches for my own. In You time disappears and place  becomes a meaningless belief. For what surrounds Your Son and keeps
W2:WIHS.2  as the Holy Spirit guides it to the outcome He perceives for it,  becomes the means to go beyond itself, to be replaced by the Eternal

M:2.5  share one interest and one goal. And thus he who was the learner  becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision
M:4.10  learning is consolidated. Now what was seen as merely shadows before  becomes solid gains, to be counted on in all “emergencies” as well as
M:4.15  of gentleness, for it is in this that the function of salvation  becomes easy. To those who would do harm, it is impossible. To those

M:17.5  reaction means, and its centrality in the world's thought system  becomes apparent. A magic thought, by its mere presence, acknowledges
M:17.9  In truth it has no power to make anything. Like the magic which  becomes its servant, it neither attacks nor protects. To see it and
M:18.3  space and tiny breath become the measure of reality. And truth  becomes diminutive and meaningless. Correction has one answer to all
M:18.5 In order to heal, it thus  becomes essential for the teacher of God to let all his own mistakes
M:18.5  of errors. When this has been accomplished, the teacher of God  becomes a miracle worker by definition. His sins have been forgiven
M:19.2  It is, however, the one interpretation that leads to truth. This  becomes possible because, while it is not true in itself, justice
M:19.2  is but the first small step in the direction of the other. The path  becomes quite different as one goes along. Nor could all the

Tx:18.90  is like a bank of low dark clouds that seems to be a solid wall  before the sun. Its impenetrable appearance is wholly an illusion. It
Tx:18.95  way. Where learning ends there God begins, for learning ends  before Him Who is complete where He begins and where there is no end.
Tx:18.97  the course it took, lifted high above the darkness and gently placed  before the gates of Heaven. The holy instant in which you were united
Tx:19.1 We said  before that when a situation has been dedicated wholly to truth,
Tx:19.10  which you received. You do not use anything your brother has done  before to condemn him now. You freely choose to overlook his errors,
Tx:19.14 In the holy instant, you stand  before the altar God has raised unto Himself and both of you. Lay
Tx:19.14  the glad tidings that it was done to you who stand together  before the altar from which they were sent forth.
Tx:19.24  it is far better to be sinful than mistaken. Yet think you carefully  before you allow yourself to make this choice. Approach it not
Tx:19.32  what God created holy could not prevail against it nor remain itself  before the power of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than God,
Tx:19.32  before the power of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than God,  before which God Himself must bow and offer His creation to its
Tx:19.33  has been removed, and so it can be cherished but a little while  before it vanishes. Only the habit of looking for it still remains.
Tx:19.35  faith to what you now can see. The barriers to heaven will disappear  before your holy sight, for you who were sightless have been given
Tx:19.38  within must first expand and flow across the obstacles you placed  before it. This will you do, for nothing undertaken with the Holy
Tx:19.39  thanks and gratitude which you have offered Him and lay them gently  before His Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And the Father
Tx:19.43  messengers from you to all the world. And barriers will fall away  before their coming as easily as those which you would interpose will
Tx:19.46  land and settle briefly upon anything, for it has no purpose now.  Before the Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it seemed to have a
Tx:19.47  makes its results appear to be more erratic and unpredictable than  before. Yet what could be more unstable than a tightly-organized
Tx:19.48 How mighty can a little feather be  before the great wings of truth? Can it oppose an eagle's flight or
Tx:19.50  losing none of them on pain of death and laying them respectfully  before their lord and master. Perception cannot obey two masters,
Tx:19.54  but theirs, you will see fear no more. The world will be transformed  before your sight, cleansed of all guilt and softly brushed with
Tx:19.55 Love, too, would set a feast  before you on a table covered with a spotless cloth, set in a quiet
Tx:19.55  grace is said by everyone together as they join in gentleness  before the table of communion. And I will join you there, as long ago
Tx:19.64  cannot be asked of you? There is no obstacle which you can place  before our union, for in your holy relationship, I am there already.
Tx:19.85  by its orders, proof in his decay that God Himself is powerless  before the ego's might, unable to protect the life that He created
Tx:19.91 The fourth obstacle to be surmounted hangs like a heavy veil  before the face of Christ. Yet as His face rises beyond it, shining
Tx:19.95 And now you stand in terror  before what you swore never to look upon. Your eyes look down,
Tx:19.98  the Atonement and learned illusions are not real. No one can stand  before this obstacle alone, for he could not have reached thus far
Tx:19.99  realize its purpose is accomplished? Here, with the journey's end  before you, you see its purpose. And it is here you choose whether to
Tx:19.100  you look upon each other with perfect faith and love and tenderness.  Before complete forgiveness, you still stand unforgiving. You are
Tx:19.105  redemption is accomplished and received. Think who your brother is  before you would condemn him. And offer thanks to God that he is holy
Tx:20.15  one another the freedom and the strength to lead you there. And come  before each other's holy altar where the strength and freedom wait,
Tx:20.16  is a change; a shift in perception or a belief that what was so  before has been made different. Every adjustment is therefore a
Tx:20.19  and frightened, hoping at most that death will wait a little longer  before it overtakes you and you disappear? You made this up. It is a
Tx:20.22  will wander off. He came without a purpose, but he will not remain  before the shining light the Holy Spirit offered and you accepted.
Tx:20.35  when, while you are in time, there is so much that must be done  before the way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems impossible to
Tx:20.36 He will go  before you making straight your path and leaving in your way no
Tx:20.36  will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away  before you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless of
Tx:20.41  that runs through time like golden light is all the same—nothing  before it, nothing afterwards.
Tx:20.56  the holy instant, offered him to replace the unholy one he chose  before. And here can he learn relationships are his salvation and not
Tx:20.58  discrepancies of means and end and how these must be brought in line  before your holy relationship can bring you only joy. But we have
Tx:20.60  They guarantee the goal, and they are perfectly in line with it.  Before we look at them a little closer, remember that if you think
Tx:20.63  relationships with other bodies, serving the cause of sin an instant  before he dies.
Tx:20.69  Be willing, then, to see your brother sinless that Christ may rise  before your vision and give you joy. And place no value on your
Tx:20.72  Look through its eyes, and everything will stand condemned  before you. All that could save you, you will never see. Your holy
Tx:21.3  go through the doors you thought were closed but which stand open  before unseeing eyes, waiting to welcome you.
Tx:21.4  necessary to imagine what the world must look like. It must be seen  before you recognize it for what it is. You can be shown which doors
Tx:21.10  into a great and shining circle. And all the circle fills with light  before your eyes. The edges of the circle disappear, and what is in
Tx:21.32  them no longer. For faith and vision and belief are meaningful only  before the state of certainty is reached. In Heaven they are unknown.
Tx:22.24  form of the same fundamental illusion we have seen many times  before. Only if it were possible the Son of God could leave his
Tx:22.38  way or the other. For now if you go straight ahead, the way you went  before you reached the branch, you will go nowhere. The whole purpose
Tx:22.40 And so you stand, here in this holy place,  before the veil of sin that hangs between you and the face of Christ.
Tx:22.40  almost over in your awareness, and peace has reached you even here  before the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of Christ
Tx:22.43  And so they learn that it is theirs forever. All barriers disappear  before their coming, as every obstacle was finally surmounted which
Tx:22.43  was finally surmounted which seemed to rise and block their way  before. This veil you lift together opens the way to truth to more
Tx:22.44 —to receive together and give as you received. Standing  before the veil, it still seems difficult. But hold out your joined
Tx:22.48 How weak is fear—how little and how meaningless! How insignificant  before the quiet strength of those whom love has joined! This is your
Tx:22.53  from means to end as easy as is the shift from hate to gratitude  before forgiving eyes. You will be sanctified by one another, using
Tx:22.55  Before a holy relationship there is no sin. The form of error is no
Tx:23.10  “enemy” you fought as an intruder on your peace is here transformed  before your sight into the giver of your peace. Your “enemy” was God
Tx:23.32  And if it is the truth, then must its opposite, which was the truth  before, be madness now. Such a reversal, completely turned around,
Tx:23.34  is it unfamiliar; we have seen how it appears to function many times  before. In truth it does not function, yet in dreams, where only
Tx:23.44  become impossible that you lose sight of it? It can be kept shining  before your vision, forever clear and never out of sight if you
Tx:24.15  song of honor and of love for what you are seems silent and unheard  before its “mightiness.” You strain your ears to hear its soundless
Tx:24.27  alone and unforgiven and yourself in sin beside him, both in misery  before the idol that can save you not.
Tx:24.37  all illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They will not stand  before it. Yet what comfort has ever been in them that you would keep
Tx:24.43  Yet think not that it looked upon your brother first, nor hated him  before it hated you. The sin its eyes behold in him and love to look
Tx:24.48 There must be doubt  before there can be conflict. And every doubt must be about yourself.
Tx:24.48  your hands are His. He is within you, yet He walks beside you and  before, leading the way that He must go to find Himself complete. His
Tx:24.49  Before your brother's holiness the world is still and peace descends
Tx:24.49  offered you that all your doubts about yourself may disappear  before his holiness. See in him God's creation. For in him, his
Tx:24.51  in all the universe. Nothing that God created has He failed to lay  before you lovingly as yours forever. And no thought within His Mind
Tx:24.51  for you and look upon yourself as lovingly as He conceived of you  before the world began and as He knows you still. God changes not His
Tx:24.58  happiness. And never doubt but that your specialness will disappear  before the Will of God, Who loves each part of Him with equal love
Tx:25.7  the face of Christ from its beholders. And both of you stand there,  before Him now, to let Him draw aside the veil that seems to keep you
Tx:25.14  that it will suddenly succeed and bring what it has never brought  before?
Tx:25.16 Who hangs an empty frame upon a wall and stands  before it, deep in reverence, as if a masterpiece were there to see?
Tx:25.28  what is given him, then will he see each situation that he thought  before was means to justify his anger turned to an event which
Tx:25.28  his love. He will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard  before are really calls to peace. He will perceive that where he gave
Tx:25.34  revenge, and every wish to hurt and kill and die will disappear  before the sun you bring.
Tx:25.35  off because the sun in you has risen that they may be pushed away  before the light. They linger for a while, a little while, in twisted
Tx:25.36  be restored to him for whom it was created as his only home? Nothing  before and nothing after it. No other place, no other state nor time.
Tx:25.38  see the Son of God as innocent and wish him dead? Christ stands  before you both each time you look on one another. He has not gone
Tx:25.52 Let us go back to what we said  before and think of it more carefully. It must be so that either God
Tx:25.57  points to an alternative, another way of looking at what he has seen  before and recognizes as the world in which he lives and thought he
Tx:25.57  recognizes as the world in which he lives and thought he understood  before.
Tx:26.4  love be heard at all. Yet is it given him to make the world recede  before his song and sight of him replace the body's eyes.
Tx:26.16  form you will not want. And you will see each little hurt resolved  before the Holy Spirit's gentle sight. For all of them are little in
Tx:26.16  them are little in His sight and worth no more than just a tiny sigh  before they disappear, to be forever undone and unremembered. What
Tx:26.28 Forgiveness brings no little miracles to lay  before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself comes to
Tx:26.32  eternity. And so is all time passed and everything exactly as it was  before the way to nothingness was made. The tiny tick of time in
Tx:26.33  past. Each thing you look upon you saw but for an instant, long ago  before its unreality gave way to truth. Not one illusion still
Tx:26.33  ago that it is hard indeed to hold it to your heart as if it were  before you still.
Tx:26.35  as if it could be made again in time. You keep an ancient memory  before your eyes. And he who lives in memories alone is unaware of
Tx:26.47  in miracles. And as such, the laws of healing must be understood  before the purpose of the course can be accomplished. Let us review
Tx:26.55  Yet facts can be denied and thus unknown, though they were known  before they were denied.
Tx:27.3  of attack upon God's Son. You hold a picture of your crucifixion  before his eyes that he may see his sins are writ in Heaven in your
Tx:27.3  may see his sins are writ in Heaven in your blood and death and go  before him, closing off the gate and damning him to hell. Yet this is
Tx:27.15  true forgiveness reigns can suffer. He holds not the proof of sin  before his brother's eyes. And thus he must have overlooked it and
Tx:27.18  can never be undone. And hopelessness and death must disappear  before the ancient clarion call of life. This call has power far
Tx:28.13  speaks in gentle sounds of love the Son of God remembers from  before his own remembering came in between the present and the past
Tx:28.24  the other way, begins. This final step is an effect of what has gone  before, appearing as a cause. The miracle is the first step in giving
Tx:28.35  who would no longer starve and would enjoy the feast of plenty set  before them there. And they will meet with your invited Guests the
Tx:28.36  no one is deprived or can deprive. Here is a feast the Father lays  before His Son and shares it equally with him. And in Their sharing
Tx:28.42  if you see there is no truth in yours, his dreams will [disappear  before his eyes], and he will understand what made the dream.
Tx:28.59  lets his mind be healed and unified. His secret vows are powerless  before the Will of God, Whose promises he shares. And what he
Tx:29.16  is to attain a state unlike the one in which you found yourself  before. There is no change in immortality, and Heaven knows it not.
Tx:29.20  his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a savior first,  before he can remember what he is. And he must save who would be
Tx:29.22  the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his body is.  Before this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way
Tx:29.54  it represents. All forms of anti-Christ oppose the Christ and fall  before His face like a dark veil which seems to shut you off from
Tx:29.56 What is an idol? Nothing! It must be believed  before it seems to come to life and given power that it may be
Tx:29.68  is heard which everyone remembers, though he has not heard it since  before all time began. Forgiveness, once complete, brings
Tx:30.10  and cannot see the question. Now you need a quick restorative  before you ask.
Tx:30.30  you have sought perceives your happiness. You always ask advice  before you can decide on anything. Let this be understood, and you
Tx:30.31  is but a fact. For you and your advisor must agree on what you want  before it can occur. It is but this agreement which permits all
Tx:30.32  that it will ever have. It needs but two. These two are joined  before there can be a decision. Let this be the one reminder that you
Tx:30.44  unchanged by your forgetting. It will always be exactly as it was  before the time when you forgot and will be just the same when you
Tx:30.63  look on Him Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked upon  before the Father is remembered. For He must be unremembered till His
Tx:30.83  then in looking back you think you see another meaning in what went  before. What have you really done except to show there was no meaning
Tx:30.89  For everything you see will change, and yet you thought it real  before, and now you think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to
Tx:31.4 —an enormity so great the Holy Spirit's Voice seems small and still  before its magnitude. The world began with one strange lesson,
Tx:31.5  made to teach. Now does your ancient overlearning stand implacable  before the Voice of truth and teach you that Its lessons are not
Tx:31.14  Neither is true. Nor are they different. Yet must we see them both  before you can look past them to the one alternative that is a
Tx:31.18  Before you answer, pause to think of this:
Tx:31.22  still an instant. Come without all thought of what you ever learned  before and put aside all images you made. The old will fall away
Tx:31.22  before and put aside all images you made. The old will fall away  before the new without your opposition or intent. There will be no
Tx:31.25  and how it must be made. For next to you is One Who holds the light  before you so that every step is made in certainty and sureness of
Tx:31.34  All of them will lead to death. On some you travel gaily for a while  before the bleakness enters. And on some the thorns are felt at once.
Tx:31.35  where every end is sure. Perhaps you would prefer to try them all  before you really learn they are but one. The roads this world can
Tx:31.51  know exactly what would happen? Could he see your future and ordain  before it came what you should do in every circumstance? He must have
Tx:31.55  it does not yet approach a basic question. Something must have gone  before these concepts of the self. And something must have done the
Tx:31.55  it for him in the image of your own. While only he was treacherous  before, now must you be condemned along with him.
Tx:31.66  clearly seen, that does not fit the picture as it was perceived  before will change the world for eyes that learn to see, because the
Tx:31.74 The concept of the self stands like a shield, a silent barricade  before the truth, and hides it from your sight. All things you see
Tx:31.75  as he beholds this One. For there is light where darkness was  before, and now the veil is lifted from his sight.
Tx:31.87  to learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice  before, you now can make a better one and thus escape all pain which
Tx:31.87  can make a better one and thus escape all pain which what you chose  before has brought to you. In every difficulty, all distress, and
Tx:31.88  every circumstance and every place you raised an image of yourself  before. For what appears to hide the face of Christ is powerless
Tx:31.88  before. For what appears to hide the face of Christ is powerless  before His majesty and disappears before His holy sight. The saviors
Tx:31.88  the face of Christ is powerless before His majesty and disappears  before His holy sight. The saviors of the world who see like Him are
Tx:31.91  And thus are miracles as natural as fear and agony appeared to be  before the choice for holiness was made. For in that choice are false
Tx:31.92  see all pain in every form wherever it occurs but disappear as mists  before the sun. A miracle has come to heal God's Son and close the
Tx:31.93 Deny me not the little gift I ask when in exchange I lay  before your feet the peace of God and power to bring this peace to
Tx:31.93  and clean and fresh you will forget the pain and sorrow that you saw  before. Yet this a vision is which you must share with everyone you
Tx:31.94  to our sight to lift us high above the thorny roads we traveled on  before the Christ appeared. Hear me, my brothers, hear and join with
Tx:31.97  “Amen.” For Christ has come to dwell in the abode You set for Him  before time was, in calm eternity. The journey closes, ending at the
W1:6.3  required should be preceded by a minute or so of mind searching, as  before, and the application of the idea to each upsetting thought
W1:9.2  for the untrained mind to believe that what seems to be pictured  before it is not there. This idea can be quite disturbing and may
W1:10.1  that they are not your real thoughts. We have made this distinction  before and will again. You have no basis for comparison as yet. When
W1:10.6 The exercises consist, as  before, in searching your mind for all the thoughts which are
W1:10.8  experience discomfort. Remember, however, to repeat the idea slowly  before applying it specifically, and also to add:
W1:16.3  but equally unreal. We will practice this idea in many forms  before you really understand it.
W1:25.4  Before you can make any sense out of the exercises for today, one
W1:25.8  Then move on to the next subject, and apply today's idea as  before.
W1:30.1  is the springboard for vision. From this idea will the world open up  before you, and you will look upon it and see in it what you have
W1:30.1  and you will look upon it and see in it what you have never seen  before. Nor will what you saw before be even faintly visible to you.
W1:30.1  and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor will what you saw  before be even faintly visible to you.
W1:36.5  and repeat the idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and continue as  before.
W1:44.3  purpose, we will use a form of practice which has been suggested  before and which we will utilize increasingly. It is a particularly
W1:46.1  because He has never condemned. And there must be condemnation  before forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of
W1:51.4  willing to do so. Is not this a better choice than the one I made  before?
W1:52.3  no “enemies.” And I will look with love on all that I failed to see  before.
W1:53.6  will that they do so. My will is His, and I will place no other gods  before Him.
W1:54.2  I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world rise  before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My thoughts cannot be
W1:54.4  a private world. Even the mad idea of separation had to be shared  before it could form the basis of the world I see. Yet that sharing
W1:65.8  to catch a few of the idle thoughts which escaped your attention  before, but do not strain or make undue effort in doing this. Then
W1:69.2 Today let us make another real attempt to reach the light in you.  Before we undertake this in our more extended practice period, let us
W1:70.12  light beyond. Remember that you will have to go through the clouds  before you can reach the light. But remember also that you have never
W1:73.9 Today it is the ego which stands powerless  before your will. Your will is free, and nothing can prevail against
W1:75.4  single purpose makes our goal inevitable. Today the real world rises  before us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is given us, now
W1:75.7  the world today. You can look upon it now as if you never saw it  before. You do not know yet what it looks like. You merely wait to
W1:76.1 We have observed  before how many senseless things have seemed to you to be salvation.
W1:78.1  and a miracle. Each grievance stands like a dark shield of hate  before the miracle it would conceal. And as you raise it up before
W1:78.1  of hate before the miracle it would conceal. And as you raise it up  before your eyes, you will not see the miracle beyond. Yet all the
W1:78.2  We will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to stop  before it sees. We will not wait before the shield of hate, but lay
W1:78.2  see by not allowing sight to stop before it sees. We will not wait  before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently lift our eyes
W1:78.3  lay them down, he will appear in shining light where each one stood  before. For every grievance is a block to sight, and as it lifts, you
W1:81.2  been given the function of lighting up the world! Let me be still  before my holiness. In its calm light, let all my conflicts
W1:81.4  of the world shine through this appearance. This shadow will vanish  before the light.
W1:81.5  in this light will my function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous  before my sight. My acceptance does not depend on my recognizing what
W1:90.5  time. I believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse  before it can be worked out. I do not see the problem and the answer
W1:92.1  what you see by putting little bits of glass or other clear material  before your eyes held in a frame or placed against the eye.
W1:92.8  its sight, and none who enters its abode can leave without a miracle  before his eyes and strength and light abiding in his heart.
W1:96.2  and effort, hopefulness and doubt, each one as futile as the one  before and failing as the next one surely will.
W1:101.3  must be feared, for it will kill but slowly, taking everything away  before it grants the welcome boon of death to victims who are little
W1:101.3  the welcome boon of death to victims who are little more than bones  before salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but
W1:104.2  which are our own in truth. His are the gifts which we inherited  before time was and which will still be ours when time has passed
W1:104.7 We clear a holy place within our minds  before His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy are welcome and to
W1:105.5  in simple terms of adding more, for that implies that it was less  before. It adds by letting what cannot contain itself fulfill its aim
W1:109.3  which it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to truth  before the eyes of you who rest in God.
W1:R3.8  so you undertake one in the morning and the other in the hour just  before you go to sleep.
W1:122.5  thankful it remains exactly as He planned it. Changelessly it stands  before you, like an open door with warmth and welcome calling from
W1:122.6  All the complexities the world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear  before the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement
W1:122.12  Before the light you will receive today the world will fade until it
W1:124.3  is our eternal gift to those who follow after and to those who went  before or stayed with us a while. And God, Who loves us with the
W1:127.9  the legion of the future years of waiting for salvation disappears  before the timelessness of what you learn. Let us give thanks today
W1:128.7  you will not value anything you see as much as when you looked at it  before. Your whole perspective on the world will shift by just a
W1:130.10  it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone have ever seen  before. And you will know God's strength upheld as you made this
W1:131.15 Seek for that door and find it. But  before you try to open it, remind yourself no one can fail who asks
W1:131.15  has any meaning now; no other goal is valued now nor sought; nothing  before this door you really want, and only what lies past it do you
W1:131.16  you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause  before you realize the world you see before you in the light reflects
W1:131.16  perhaps, will make you pause before you realize the world you see  before you in the light reflects the truth you knew and did not quite
W1:132.3 You free the past from what you thought  before. You free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what
W1:135.17  that plans is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has learned  before becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past experience
W1:136.11  planning for your own defense. And you believe that Heaven quails  before such mad attacks as these, with God made blind by your
W1:136.20  weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any laws you made it serve  before. You need do nothing now to make it well, for sickness has
W1:137.7  so healing must replace the fantasies of sickness which you hold  before the simple truth. When sickness has been seen to disappear in
W1:138.9  Heaven's help, and all mistakes in judgment which the mind had made  before are open to correction as the truth dismisses them as
W1:138.12  Before we close our eyes in sleep tonight, we reaffirm the choice
W1:140.2  awakened from the dream, and so his mind remains exactly as it was  before. He has not seen the light that would awaken him and end the
W1:140.11  the day begins and end the day by listening again five minutes more  before we go to sleep. Our only preparation is to let our interfering
W1:R4.12  His Word. And as you give your mind to the ideas for the day again  before you sleep, His gratitude surrounds you in the peace wherein He
W1:151.7  light of what He sees do all the ego's dreams of what you are vanish  before the splendor He beholds.
W1:151.8  because it rests on certainty so great that doubt is meaningless  before Its face. Christ cannot doubt Himself. The Voice of God can
W1:151.8  now to play with toys of sin, unheeding of the body's witnesses  before the rapture of His holy face.
W1:151.15 Spend 15 minutes thus when you awake, and gladly give another 15 more  before you go to sleep. Your ministry begins as all your thoughts are
W1:152.3  that the truth is true and nothing else is true. This you have heard  before, but may not yet accept both parts of it. Without the first,
W1:155.1  recognize you also and believe that you are like them as you were  before.

W1:156.5  is what the universe longs to behold. All living things are still  before you, for they recognize Who walks with you. The light you
W1:161.1  fail to welcome in the Christ where fear and anger had prevailed  before. Here is Atonement made complete, the world passed safely by,
W1:162.2  sin, and no illusion that the dream contains that will not fade away  before their might. They are the trumpet of awakening that sounds
W1:162.3  and his body healed because he sleeps and wakens with the truth  before him always. He will save the world because he gives the world

W1:181.4  the goals this course is advocating are from those you held  before. And you have also been dismayed by the depressing and
W1:183.4  meaning. No temptation but becomes a nameless and unwanted thing  before God's Name. Repeat His Name and see how easily you will forget
W1:183.4  you gave them. They become anonymous and valueless to you, although  before you let the Name of God replace their little names, you stood

W1:187.9  The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness  before the purity that you will look on here. Be not afraid to look.
W1:187.10 Now are we one in thought, for fear has gone. And here,  before the altar to one God, one Father, one Creator and one thought,
W1:189.7  you one thought the past has taught nor one belief you ever learned  before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come
W1:190.8  and a bitter place, where sorrow rules and little joys give way  before the onslaught of the savage pain that waits to end all joy in

Tx:4.98 Existence as well as  being rests on communication. Existence, however, is specific in how,

Tx:4.99 God, Who encompasses all  being, nevertheless created beings who have everything individually
Tx:4.99  everything, since it can create only like itself. Remember that in  being there is no difference between “having” and “being” as there is

Tx:5.35  to hear it. Will itself is an idea and is therefore strengthened by  being shared. If you make the mistake of looking for the Holy Spirit
Tx:5.56 Ideas do not leave the mind which thought them to have a separate  being, nor do separate thoughts conflict with one another in space,

Tx:6.73  the first lesson seems to contain a contradiction since it is  being learned by a conflicted mind. This means conflicting
Tx:6.73  ego in himself and responding primarily to the ego in others, he is  being taught to react to both as if what he does believe is not true.
Tx:6.79 This is still a preliminary step since having and  being are still not equated. It is, however, more advanced than the

Tx:6.93  protection since your being cannot be assailed. Yet a real sense of  being cannot be yours while you are doubtful of what you are. This is
Tx:6.93  of what you are. This is why vigilance is essential. Doubts about  being must not enter your mind, or you cannot know what you are with
Tx:6.95  it. Only this can cancel out the need for effort and call upon the  being which you both have and are. This recognition is wholly without

Tx:7.14  you project you are. That form of the law is not adapted at all,  being the law of creation. God Himself created the law by creating by

Tx:7.113  any more than you can establish God's. But you can know both.  Being is known by sharing. Because God shared His Being with you, you
Tx:7.113  you can know both. Being is known by sharing. Because God shared His  Being with you, you can know Him. But you must also know all He

Tx:8.27  to unite the will of the Sonship with the Will of the Father by  being aware of the Father's Will myself. This is the awareness I came
Tx:8.32  dominion of one will over another. God's Sons are equal in will, all  being the Will of their Father. This is the only lesson I came to
Tx:8.34 Freedom is the only gift you can offer to God's Sons,  being an acknowledgment of what they are and what He is. Freedom is
Tx:8.36  whose power is far beyond the power of its separate parts. By not  being separate, the Will of God is established in ours and as ours.
Tx:8.36  undivided. The undivided will of the Sonship is the perfect creator,  being wholly in the likeness of God, Whose Will it is. You cannot be
Tx:8.50  of the value He puts upon you. My devotion to you is of Him,  being born of my knowledge of myself and Him. We cannot be separated.
Tx:8.50  His Sons with Himself. Can you be separated from your life and your  being?
Tx:8.54  Holy Spirit interprets the body only as a means of communication.  Being the communication link between God and His separated Sons, the

Tx:8.70  inferior is that they may well be inaccurate. Functions are part of  being since they arise from it, but the relationship is not
Tx:8.77  ego that is wholly true. But there is a corollary; if knowledge is  being and the ego has no knowledge, then the ego has no being.
Tx:8.77  knowledge is being and the ego has no knowledge, then the ego has no  being.

Tx:8.100  of a request. The Holy Spirit is not concerned with form at all,  being aware only of meaning. The ego cannot ask the Holy Spirit for
Tx:8.100  for everything of the Holy Spirit because your requests are real,  being of your will. Would the Holy Spirit deny the Will of God? And
Tx:8.102  you will not know it because your cooperation is the law of its  being. You cannot change laws you did not make, and the laws of
Tx:8.117  have. What you give is therefore the value you put on what you have,  being the exact measure of the value you put upon it. And this, in
Tx:9.6  You will not escape paying the price for this, not because you are  being punished for it, but because you are following the wrong guide
Tx:9.28  but he cannot bring light of himself, for light is not of him. Yet,  being for him, it must also be for his patient. The Holy Spirit is
Tx:9.29  work. Nothing else works at all. This course is a guide to behavior.  Being a very direct and very simple learning situation, it provides
Tx:9.37 Eternity is one time, its only dimension  being “always.” This cannot mean anything to you, however, until you

Tx:9.58  in littleness with His own exalted answer to the question of your  being, so that you can cease to question it and know it for what it
Tx:9.61  exceed your will? Nothing can reach you from beyond it because,  being in God, you encompass everything. Believe this, and you will
Tx:9.66  that reality is in accord with neither? You do not remember  being awake. When you hear the Holy Spirit, you merely feel better
Tx:9.67  Dreams will be impossible, because you will want only truth, and  being at last your will, it will be yours.
Tx:9.100  to acknowledge you and that in His acknowledgment of you lies your  Being. You are not sick, and you cannot die. But you can confuse
Tx:10.11  then, that you will to create since your will follows from His. And  being an extension of His Will, yours must be the same.
Tx:10.16  and Son because he is both Father and Son. To unite having and  being is only to unite your will with His, for He wills you Himself.
Tx:10.18  will seem to be unintegrated and therefore without meaning. And  being without meaning to you, you will not understand it. To deny
Tx:10.23  there is no conflict in Him. Conflict is the root of all evil, for  being blind, it does not see whom it attacks. Yet it always attacks
Tx:10.44  its results is merely to recognize that their source is not natural,  being out of accord with your true nature. We once said that to will
Tx:10.70  he is separate. Yet they are eternal because they are loving. And  being loving, they are like the Father and therefore cannot die. The
Tx:10.71  create unlike your Father, believing what you made to be capable of  being unlike Him. Yet everything in what you have made that is true
Tx:10.82  His Son, whom He created free and whose freedom is protected by His  Being.
Tx:10.84  in God's Son, for thereby you must be deceived in yourself. And  being deceived in yourself, you are deceived in your Father in Whom
Tx:11.38  obvious that no one wants to find what would utterly defeat him.  Being unable to love, the ego would be totally inadequate in love's
Tx:11.59 Every Child of God is one in Christ, for his  Being is in Christ as Christ's is in God. Christ's love for you is
Tx:11.60  in perfect love of God and of each other. Heaven is your home, and  being in God, it must also be in you.
Tx:11.62  know it must be there. By perceiving what it does, you recognize its  being. And by what it does, you learn what it is. You cannot see your
Tx:11.80  minds and cannot be obliterated. It is no more past than future,  being forever always.
Tx:11.83  is a thing of despair, for it can never be. And you who share God's  Being with Him could never be content without reality. What God did
Tx:11.84  only perception is capable of error, and perception has never been.  Being corrected, it gives place to knowledge, which is forever the
Tx:11.85  For the mind that judges perceives itself as separate from the mind  being judged, believing that by punishing another, it will escape
Tx:11.93  prison he has made, and the way to find release is not denied him.  Being in him, he has found it. When he finds it is only a matter of
Tx:11.94  know that you are God's Son. You have denied the condition of his  Being, which is his perfect blamelessness. Out of love he was
Tx:11.95  no time to travel through. For God waits not for His Son in time,  being forever unwilling to be without him. And so it has always been.
Tx:11.97  and what he is in truth. For God has never condemned His Son, and  being guiltless, he is eternal.
Tx:11.98  of dispelling it. The ego believes in atonement through attack,  being fully committed to the insane notion that attack is salvation.
Tx:11.99  He looks upon the guiltless Son of God, he knows this is true. And  being true for you, you cannot attack yourself, for without guilt,
Tx:11.99  impossible. You, then, are saved because God's Son is guiltless. And  being wholly pure, you are invulnerable.
Tx:12.33  love and fear. One is changeless but continually exchanged,  being offered by the eternal to the eternal. In this exchange it is
Tx:12.34  and that they are not whole. For these figures have no witnesses,  being perceived in one separate mind only.
Tx:12.62  And what you call with love will come to you. Love always answers,  being unable to deny a call for help or not to hear the cries of pain
Tx:12.63  recognized. Christ is still there, although you know Him not. His  Being does not depend upon your recognition. He lives within you in
Tx:12.66  in time, and it will fade. But this one thing is always yours,  being the gift of God unto His Son. Your one reality was given you,
Tx:13.2  and therefore no aspect is separate. You are an aspect of knowledge,  being in the Mind of God, Who knows you. All knowledge must be yours,
Tx:13.4  the Holy Spirit has no function. He is not separate from either,  being in the mind of both and knowing that mind is one. He is a
Tx:13.6  Reality that is his Father. Christ's vision is His gift to you. His  Being is His Father's gift to Him.
Tx:13.13 The world can give you only what you gave it, for  being nothing but your own projection, it has no meaning apart from
Tx:13.38  shared. Perfect perception can merely show you what is capable of  being wholly shared. It can also show you the results of sharing
Tx:13.66  only guiltlessness allays. Learning is living here, as creating is  being in Heaven. Whenever the pain of guilt seems to attract you,
Tx:13.71  one can hurt the Son of God. His guilt is wholly without cause, and  being without cause, cannot exist.
Tx:13.76  He created, for it is wholly pure. Do not decide against it, for  being of Him, it must be true. Peace abides in every mind that
Tx:13.92  There is no effort, and you will be led as gently as if you were  being carried along a quiet path in summer. Only your own volition
Tx:14.18  They do not protect; neither do they attack. They do nothing at all,  being nothing at all. As guardians of darkness and of ignorance, look
Tx:14.25  be neither lost nor sought nor found. It is there, wherever you are,  being within you. Yet it can be recognized or unrecognized, real or
Tx:14.40 Merely by  being what it is does truth release you from everything that it is
Tx:14.47  one. The miracle is the one thing you can do that transcends order,  being based not on differences but on equality.
Tx:14.51  also why everyone shares in it. The power of God is limitless. And  being always maximal, it offers everything to every call from anyone.
Tx:14.56  everything of Him is perfectly open and freely accessible to all,  being for all. Nothing lives in secret, and what you would hide from
Tx:14.67  that God lose His Identity, for if He did, you would lose yours. And  being yours, He cannot change Himself, for your identity is
Tx:15.16 The Atonement is in time but not for time.  Being in you, it is eternal. What holds remembrance of God cannot be
Tx:15.17  of peace is eternal because it is wholly without fear. It will come,  being the lesson God gives you through the Teacher He has appointed
Tx:15.42  For the holy instant is given and received with equal willingness,  being the acceptance of the single will that governs all thought.
Tx:15.65  love. This is the only love that is fully given and fully returned.  Being complete, it asks nothing. Being wholly pure, everyone joined
Tx:15.65  is fully given and fully returned. Being complete, it asks nothing.  Being wholly pure, everyone joined in it has everything. This is not
Tx:15.82  yours. Your relationships are with the universe. And this universe,  being of God, is far beyond the petty sum of all the separate bodies
Tx:15.90  His attraction for you remains unlimited, but because your power,  being His, is as great as His, you can turn away from love. What you
Tx:15.98  you are both destroyer and destroyed in part, but with the idea of  being able to be neither completely. And this you think saves you
Tx:15.100 You will not succeed in  being partial hostage to the ego, for it keeps no bargains and would
Tx:15.100  just as it is that makes the decision so easy! Salvation is simple,  being of God and therefore very easy to understand. Do not try to
Tx:15.105  in the reality of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds attack,  being the belief that attack is justified. And as long as you would
Tx:15.109  Him into ourselves. Those who receive the Father are one with Him,  being host to Him Who created them. And by allowing Him to enter, the
Tx:16.10  miracles are at all, their attributes would have to be miraculous,  being part of them.
Tx:16.28  of Heaven and by the united will of all who make Heaven what it is,  being joined within it. And so the one who would cross over is
Tx:16.43  spoken of this before, but there are some aspects of what is really  being attempted that we have not touched upon.
Tx:16.45  to be the unnatural ones. For this world is the opposite of Heaven,  being made to be its opposite, and everything here takes a direction
Tx:16.46  the ego would never have you see that separation can only be loss,  being the one condition in which Heaven cannot be.
Tx:16.76  and your illusions of time will not prevent the timeless from  being what it is nor you from experiencing it as it is.
Tx:17.17  whom vengeance is really sought are centered on and separated off as  being the only parts of value. Every step taken in the making, the
Tx:17.36  marshaled to defend you from your own attack. For you attack Them,  being part of Them, and They must save you, for They love Themselves.
Tx:17.48  of faith. Do not abandon faith, now that the rewards of faith are  being introduced. If you believed the Holy Spirit was there to accept
Tx:17.63  except in fantasy. Truth has not come because faith has been denied,  being withheld from where it rightfully belonged. Thus do you lose
Tx:17.65  been done and where you see it done. A situation is a relationship,  being the joining of thoughts. If problems are perceived, it is
Tx:18.2  indivisible. He does not judge between them, knowing they are one.  Being united, they are one because they are the same. Substitution is
Tx:18.21  gratitude! Or mine through His! For we are joined as in one purpose,  being of one mind with Him.
Tx:18.53  at all. And what God created is only what He would have it be,  being His Will. You cannot make His Will destructive. You can make
Tx:18.55  prison, removed and unreachable, incapable of reaching out as  being reached. You hate this prison you have made and would destroy
Tx:18.58  encompasses? Everyone has experienced what he would call a sense of  being transported beyond himself. This feeling of liberation far
Tx:18.74  thinks it is in no way changes its total dependence on them for its  being. Its whole existence still remains in them. Without the sun the
Tx:18.76  from its Creator. This little aspect is no different from the whole,  being continuous with it and at one with it. It leads no separate
Tx:18.76  leads no separate life because its life is the oneness in which its  being was created.
Tx:18.86 How is this done? It is extremely simple,  being based on what this little kingdom really is. The barren sands,
Tx:19.3  not there, hearing what truth has never said, and behaving insanely,  being imprisoned by insanity.
Tx:19.4  to him has separated you from him and kept you both apart from  being healed. Your faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy Spirit's
Tx:19.16  you do to you. Whom God created as His Son is slave to nothing,  being lord of all along with his Creator. You can enslave a body, but
Tx:19.16  Creator. You can enslave a body, but an idea is free, incapable of  being kept in prison or limited in any way except by the mind that
Tx:19.49  only to love.] Overlooking guilt completely, it sees no fear.  Being wholly without attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is
Tx:20.28  power to their seeming source. Thus would He keep you free of them.  Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives
Tx:20.58  Spirit's goal will come from the same Source as does His purpose.  Being so simple and direct, this course has nothing in it that is not
Tx:21.13  of mind by which the crucifixion is changed to resurrection. And  being true, it is so simple that it cannot fail to be completely
Tx:21.53  Therefore, what joined the Will of God must be in you now,  being eternal. You must have set aside a place in which the Holy
Tx:21.64  alone. But neither can accept a miracle instead without the other  being blessed by it and healed of pain.
Tx:21.67  was given love by Love. And what Love plans is like Itself in this:  being united, It would have you learn what you must be. And being one
Tx:21.67  in this: being united, It would have you learn what you must be. And  being one with It, it must be given you to give what It has given and
Tx:21.70  your misery comes from the strange belief that you are powerless?  Being helpless is the cost of sin. Helplessness is sin's condition—
Tx:21.88  for it but once to have it always. And if you do not have it always,  being what it is, you did not ask for it. For no one fails to ask for
Tx:22.5  And where, you wonder, does your strange uneasiness, your sense of  being disconnected, and your haunting fear of lack of meaning in
Tx:22.13  Son to the unworthy. Nothing but what is part of Him is worthy of  being joined. Nor is it possible that anything not part of Him can
Tx:22.21  impossible, and no one undertakes to do what holds no hope of ever  being done. You know what your Creator wills is possible, but what
Tx:22.64  Joy is unlimited because each shining thought of love extends its  being and creates more of itself. There is no difference anywhere in
Tx:23.1  the belief in weakness, and what is weak is not the Will of God.  Being opposed to it, it is its “enemy.” And God is feared as an
Tx:23.9  as meaningless as one or as a thousand. The ego joins with nothing,  being nothing. The victory it seeks is meaningless as is itself.
Tx:23.13  fight against the truth. Illusions battle only with themselves.  Being fragmented, they fragment. But truth is indivisible and far
Tx:23.15  it is His home. And you who are beloved of Him are no illusions,  being as true and holy as Himself.
Tx:23.22  which God Himself is powerless to overcome. Sin cannot be remitted,  being the belief the Son of God can make mistakes for which his own
Tx:24.6  and this must come from someone “better,” someone incapable of  being like what he condemns, “above” it, sinless by comparison with
Tx:24.53  Voice that speaks for God in everything that lives and shares His  Being.
Tx:24.68  a Son. Yet must this Son have been created like Himself. A perfect  being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed, nothing to add and
Tx:25.20  you. And He is glad and thankful when you thank His perfect Son for  being what he is. And all His thanks and gladness shine on you who
Tx:25.30  cannot change. What has been damned is damned and damned forever,  being forever unforgivable. If then it is forgiven, sin's perception
Tx:25.43  it offers others. For he would only heal and only bless. And  being in accord with what God wills, he has the power to heal and
Tx:25.58  him his sanity and stands between him and whatever hope he has of  being sane. Nor is he left without escape from madness, for he has a
Tx:25.66  in the total cost, the greater his, the less is yours. And justice,  being blind, is satisfied by being paid, it matters not by whom. Can
Tx:25.66  his, the less is yours. And justice, being blind, is satisfied by  being paid, it matters not by whom. Can this be justice? God knows
Tx:25.71  punishment. But vengeance without love has gained in strength by  being separate and apart from love. And what but vengeance now can
Tx:27.10  of fear or love. For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose  being open and the mind made free again to choose what it is for. Now
Tx:27.25  the fact that every thought extends because that is its purpose,  being what it really is. From an idea of self as two, there comes a
Tx:27.27  goal divided and distinct for each of you preserves your Self from  being made aware of any function other than Its own. And thus is
Tx:27.47  who could have saved it but stepped back because he was afraid of  being healed? The eyes of all the dying bring reproach, and suffering
Tx:27.48  is there received is left behind on your returning to the world. And  being blessed, you will bring blessing. Life is given you to give the
Tx:27.63 Now you are  being shown you can escape. All that is needed is you look upon the
Tx:27.83  you thought you did. Except that now you think that what you did is  being done to you. The guilt for what you thought is being placed
Tx:27.83  what you did is being done to you. The guilt for what you thought is  being placed outside yourself and on a guilty world which dreams your
Tx:28.1  merely takes away. And what it takes away is long since gone, but  being kept in memory, appears to have immediate effects. This world
Tx:28.2  not desire its effects? Remembering is as selective as perception,  being its past tense. It is perception of the past as if it were
Tx:28.28  a miracle, you do not add your dream of fear to one that is already  being dreamed. Without support, the dream will fade away without
Tx:28.45  all. How holy is the smallest grain of sand when it is recognized as  being part of the completed picture of God's Son! The forms the
Tx:28.61  apart from it. For healing will be one or not at all, its oneness  being where the healing lies. What could correct for separation but
Tx:29.9  to find a loss of self in finding God? Yet can your Self be lost by  being found?
Tx:29.11  have accepted healing's Cause, and so it must be you are healed. And  being healed, the power to heal must also now be yours. The miracle
Tx:29.17  you. And what is gone from Him becomes your god, protecting you from  being part of Him.
Tx:29.34  they have left their hold on every vain illusion of the world. And  being empty, they received instead a brother's hand in which
Tx:29.48 All idols of this world were made to keep the truth within from  being known to you and to maintain allegiance to the dream that you
Tx:29.56  out. It merely lifts the veil and lets the truth shine unencumbered,  being what it is. It does not need belief to be itself, for it has
Tx:29.60  establish you as more than God. But you will never be content with  being less.
Tx:29.68  the mind from what it thinks. They do not seek to prove the dream is  being dreamed by someone else. And in these dreams a melody is heard
Tx:30.14  your opposition. For you have already gotten angry, and your fear of  being answered in a different way from what your version of the
Tx:30.20  against the sense of opposition and reminds you that help is not  being thrust upon you but is something that you want and that you
Tx:30.21  this point is reached, you will believe your happiness depends on  being right. But this much reason have you now attained—you would
Tx:30.24  been obscured by the insane belief you want it for the goal of  being right when you are wrong. Thus is the readiness for asking
Tx:30.38 Idols are quite specific. But your will is universal,  being limitless. And so it has no form nor is content for its
Tx:30.41  Your will to be complete is but God's Will, and this is given you by  being His. God knows not form. He cannot answer you in terms which
Tx:30.70  to attack that has been made. And thus is pardon inappropriate, by  being granted where it is not due.
Tx:30.71  a real attack that calls for punishment. Salvation does not lie in  being asked to make unnatural responses which are inappropriate to
Tx:30.71  Forgiveness is the only sane response. It keeps your rights from  being sacrificed.
Tx:30.77  have been kept outside. Forgiveness rests on recognizing this and  being glad there cannot be some forms of sickness which the miracle
Tx:31.6  and incredible in difficulty, will withstand the simple lessons  being taught to you in every moment of each day, since time began and
Tx:31.13  need be laid for bringing in the new. There is an ancient battle  being waged against the truth, but truth does not respond. Who could

W1:93.1  would rush to death by your own hand, living on after seeing this  being impossible.

W1:103.2  no reality in truth, bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting  being Love, He must be joy.
W1:103.4 God,  being Love, is also happiness. To fear Him is to be afraid of joy.

Tx:15.3  that Heaven is not for you. How can the guilty hope for Heaven? The  belief in hell is inescapable to those who identify with the ego.
Tx:15.7  still believe that it can offer the escape from it. But the  belief in guilt must lead to the belief in hell, and always does. The
Tx:15.7  offer the escape from it. But the belief in guilt must lead to the  belief in hell, and always does. The only way in which the ego allows
Tx:15.8  is no hell. Hell is only what the ego has made of the present. The  belief in hell is what prevents you from understanding the present,
Tx:15.22  little because it is a world made out of littleness in the strange  belief that littleness can content you. When you strive for anything
Tx:15.22  can content you. When you strive for anything in this world with the  belief that it will bring you peace, you are belittling yourself and
Tx:15.28 Decide for God through Him. For littleness and the  belief that you can be content with littleness are the decisions you
Tx:15.47  relationships, with special love, can offer you salvation is the  belief that separation is salvation. For it is the complete equality
Tx:15.68  The ego wishes no one well. Yet its survival depends on your  belief that you are exempt from its evil intentions. It counsels,
Tx:15.68  relationships, forged out of anger and dedicated to but one insane  belief—that the more anger you invest outside yourself, the safer
Tx:15.90  release and what the Holy Spirit must undo to set him free. For his  belief in limits has imprisoned him.
Tx:15.105  accomplish this yourselves when the basis of your attempts is the  belief in the reality of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds
Tx:15.105  reality of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds attack, being the  belief that attack is justified. And as long as you would retain the
Tx:16.75  point to truth. The holy instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed  belief in salvation through vengeance for the past. In the holy
Tx:17.5  are trying to make illusions real and keep them by justifying your  belief in them. But to give illusions to truth is to enable truth to
Tx:18.40  and remain unwilling to give place to One Who knows. The whole  belief in orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this.
Tx:18.50  God give but knowledge of Himself? What else is there to give? The  belief that you could give and get something else, something outside
Tx:18.71  that makes love seem limited. For the body is a limit on love. The  belief in limited love was its origin, and it was made to limit the
Tx:19.6  upon the mind and not the body. The inevitable compromise is the  belief that the body must be healed, and not the mind. For this
Tx:19.17  made right. But sin, were it possible, would be irreversible. The  belief in sin is necessarily based on the firm conviction that minds,
Tx:19.17  Sin calls for punishment as error for correction, and the  belief that punishment is correction is clearly insane.
Tx:19.30  In error, yes; for this can be corrected by the mind. But sin is the  belief that your perception is unchangeable and that the mind must
Tx:19.32  will find guilt attractive and believe that sin is precious. For the  belief that bodies limit mind leads to a perception of the world in
Tx:19.33  of proving this is impossible. Heaven has smiled upon it, and the  belief in sin has been uprooted in its smile of love. You see it
Tx:19.34  other overcome mistakes by joyously releasing one another from the  belief in sin.
Tx:19.47  of a wish, this tiny illusion, this microscopic remnant of the  belief in sin, is all that remains of what once seemed to be the
Tx:19.59  peace must flow across, and closely related to the first, is the  belief that the body is valuable for what it offers. For here is the
Tx:19.61  What has the body really given you that justifies your strange  belief that in it lies salvation? Do you not see that this is the
Tx:19.61  belief that in it lies salvation? Do you not see that this is the  belief in death? Here is the focus of the perception of Atonement as
Tx:19.66  you that its power is gone forever. Where can guilt be, when the  belief in sin is gone? And where is death, when its great advocate is
Tx:19.74 The ego's messages are always sent away from you in the  belief that for your message of attack and guilt will someone other
Tx:19.92 This is the darkest veil, upheld by the  belief in death and protected by its attraction. The dedication to
Tx:19.93 See how the  belief in death would seem to “save” you. For if this is gone, what
Tx:20.16 The  belief in sin is an adjustment. And an adjustment is a change; a
Tx:20.16  And an adjustment is a change; a shift in perception or a  belief that what was so before has been made different. Every
Tx:20.17 Adjustments of any kind are of the ego. For it is the ego's fixed  belief that all relationships depend upon adjustments to make of them
Tx:20.22 The world believes in sin, but the  belief that made it as you see it is not outside you. Seek not to
Tx:20.55 The body is the ego's idol; the  belief in sin made flesh and then projected outward. This produces
Tx:21.21  for here is it invested. Think not that you are faithless, for your  belief and trust in this is strong indeed.
Tx:21.32 Faith and  belief and vision are the means by which the goal of holiness is
Tx:21.32  when you wander, He reminds you there is but one. His faith and His  belief and vision are all for you. And when you have accepted them
Tx:21.32  you will have need of them no longer. For faith and vision and  belief are meaningful only before the state of certainty is reached.
Tx:21.33  in faith in his illusions about himself. For faith, perception, and  belief you made as means for losing certainty and finding sin. This
Tx:21.35 Faith and  belief become attached to vision, as all the means that once served
Tx:21.35  for sin are dear to you. And so the body has your faith and your  belief. But holiness would set your brother free, removing hatred by
Tx:21.36  Desiring to look upon their brothers in holiness, the power of  belief and faith goes far beyond the body, supporting vision, not
Tx:21.38  mind believes. Thus is the joining of mind and body an inescapable  belief of those who value sin. And so is sacrifice invariably a means
Tx:21.40  But in their seeing, they look past it, as do you. The faith and the  belief you gave it belongs beyond. You gave perception and belief and
Tx:21.40  and the belief you gave it belongs beyond. You gave perception and  belief and faith from mind to body. Let them now be given back to
Tx:21.41  It has no fear to let you feel ashamed. It doubts not your  belief and faith in sin. Its temples do not shake because of this.
Tx:21.43  who have joined their brothers have detached themselves from their  belief that their identity lies in the ego. A holy relationship is
Tx:21.43  is one in which you join with what is part of you in truth. And your  belief in sin has been already shaken, nor are you now entirely
Tx:21.49  and on the sights you choose to see, depends entirely your whole  belief in what you are. Perception is a witness but to this and never
Tx:21.56 Faith and perception and  belief can be misplaced and serve the great deceiver's needs as well
Tx:21.56  at all in madness, nor can it be adjusted to fit its end. Faith and  belief are strong in madness, guiding perception toward what the mind
Tx:21.58 You have come very close to this. Faith and  belief have shifted, and you have asked the question which the ego
Tx:21.58  something that you do not know but must belong to you? Faith and  belief, upheld by reason, cannot fail to lead to changed perception.
Tx:21.59  is yours to give. And so you will not give it, thus maintaining the  belief. For uncorrected error of any kind deceives you about the
Tx:21.59  deny it to yourself and to your brother. And if he shares this same  belief, you both will think that you are damned. This you could spare
Tx:21.70 Do you not see that all your misery comes from the strange  belief that you are powerless? Being helpless is the cost of sin.
Tx:21.76  rest have lost for you. And this imagined difference attests to your  belief that truth may be the enemy you yet may find. Here, then,
Tx:22.4 Think what a holy relationship can teach! Here is  belief in differences undone. Here is the faith in differences
Tx:22.19  all truth meaningless and all illusions real. Such is the power of  belief. It cannot compromise. And faith in innocence is faith in sin
Tx:22.19  It cannot compromise. And faith in innocence is faith in sin if the  belief excludes one living thing and holds it out apart from its
Tx:22.20  the only means by which escape from guilt can be attained, then the  belief in sin must be eternal. Yet reason looks on this another way,
Tx:22.21  in trying to avoid this one decision. It must be made. Faith and  belief can fall to either side, but reason tells you that misery lies
Tx:22.24  that what you made has power to enslave its maker. This is the same  belief that caused the separation. It is the meaningless idea that
Tx:22.30 The ego's whole continuance depends on its  belief you cannot learn this course. Share this belief, and reason
Tx:22.30  depends on its belief you cannot learn this course. Share this  belief, and reason will be unable to see your errors and make way for
Tx:22.30  been an error. The ego's opposition to correction leads to its fixed  belief in sin and disregard of errors. It looks on nothing that can
Tx:22.46  from the truth? And what would you be saved from but what you fear?  Belief in sin needs great defense and at enormous cost. All that the
Tx:22.50  alone. This is the cost of all illusions. Not one but rests on the  belief that you are separate. Not one that does not seem to stand,
Tx:22.60  Will of God is powerless? Is this humility? You do not see what this  belief has done. You see yourself as vulnerable, frail, and easily
Tx:22.62  yourself or hurt yourself without the other feeling pain. And this  belief you want. Yet wherein lies its value except in the desire to
Tx:23.1  who has an enemy, and no one can attack unless he thinks he has.  Belief in enemies is therefore the belief in weakness, and what is
Tx:23.1  attack unless he thinks he has. Belief in enemies is therefore the  belief in weakness, and what is weak is not the Will of God. Being
Tx:23.7  the warlike would remember is not love. War is impossible unless  belief in victory is cherished. Conflict within you must imply that
Tx:23.7  God. Certain it is it has no enemy. Yet just as certain is its fixed  belief it has an enemy that it must overcome and will succeed.
Tx:23.8  is possible. And God thinks otherwise. This is no war—only the mad  belief the Will of God can be attacked and overthrown. You may
Tx:23.8  of God can be attacked and overthrown. You may identify with this  belief, but never will it be more than madness. And fear will reign
Tx:23.12  illusions, struggling to make them different from each other in the  belief the one which conquers will be true. There is no conflict
Tx:23.16  His most holy home and let forgiveness sweep away all trace of the  belief in sin that keeps God homeless and His Son with Him. You are
Tx:23.20  which sets him off from others. This principle evolves from the  belief there is a hierarchy of illusions; some are more valuable and
Tx:23.22  Himself is powerless to overcome. Sin cannot be remitted, being the  belief the Son of God can make mistakes for which his own destruction
Tx:23.24  He be asked about the truth of what has been established for His  belief. His Son can tell Him this, and He has but the choice whether
Tx:23.24  for it or be mistaken. This leads directly to the third preposterous  belief that seems to make chaos eternal. For if God cannot be
Tx:23.24  For if God cannot be mistaken, then He must accept his Son's  belief in what he is and hate him for it.
Tx:23.27  if the others are accepted, must be true. This seeming law is the  belief you have what you have taken. By this, another's loss becomes
Tx:23.32  if he sees that this is what it is. What protects madness is the  belief that it is true. It is the function of insanity to take the
Tx:23.34  major roles, it seems most powerful. No law of chaos could compel  belief but for the emphasis on form and disregard of content. No one
Tx:23.38  to value some above the others. Yet each one rests as surely on the  belief the laws of chaos are the laws of order as do the others. Each
Tx:23.39 From the  belief in sin, the faith in chaos must follow. It is because it
Tx:23.43  is denied where compromise has been accepted, for compromise is the  belief salvation is impossible. It would maintain you can attack a
Tx:23.44  not see that, if it is, salvation is attack. Yet it is certain the  belief that salvation is impossible cannot uphold a quiet, calm
Tx:23.45  could they know? Could they accept forgiveness side by side with the  belief that murder takes some forms by which their peace is saved?
Tx:24.2  be kept hidden and obscure but it will jeopardize your learning. No  belief is neutral. Every one has the power to dictate each decision
Tx:24.2  based on everything that you believe. It is the outcome of  belief and follows it as surely as does suffering follow guilt and
Tx:24.3  love's purpose. Love offers everything forever. Hold back but one  belief, one offering, and love is gone because you asked a substitute
Tx:24.4  because conflicting outcomes are impossible. But an unrecognized  belief is a decision to war in secret, where the results of conflict
Tx:24.5 All that is ever cherished as a hidden  belief, to be defended though unrecognized, is faith in specialness.
Tx:24.9  let you think that you are better off apart. Is it not always your  belief your specialness is limited by your relationship? And is not
Tx:24.10 The fear of God and of each other comes from each unrecognized  belief in specialness. For each demands the other bow to it against
Tx:24.52  in all temptation to perceive what is not there and all  belief God's Son can suffer pain because he sees himself as he is not.
Tx:25.14  task you set yourself. Can it make sense to hold the fixed  belief that there is reason to uphold pursuit of what has always
Tx:25.24  real at all. Only because His Son believes it is, and from His Son's  belief He could not let Himself be separate entirely. He could not
Tx:25.26  is another Maker of the world, the simultaneous Corrector of the mad  belief that anything could be established and maintained without some
Tx:25.29  is made. For it is seeing them as one that brings release from the  belief there are two ways to see. This world has much to offer to
Tx:25.30  eyes. And therefore it need not be there in yours. Sin is the fixed  belief perception cannot change. What has been damned is damned and
Tx:25.42  His Will be done. In each of you, you see the picture of your own  belief in what the Will of God must be for you. In your forgiveness
Tx:25.52  meaning is insanity. And what is madness cannot be the truth. If one  belief so deeply valued here were true, then every Thought God ever
Tx:25.53  both the Father and the Son. This you believe. Think not that this  belief depends upon the form it takes. Who thinks the world is sane
Tx:25.60 The whole  belief that someone loses but reflects the underlying tenet God must
Tx:25.60  lost. If this were true, then God is mad indeed! But what is this  belief except a form of the more basic tenet, “Sin is real and rules
Tx:25.62 Remember all temptation is but this—a mad  belief that God's insanity would make you sane and give you what you
Tx:25.68  their own confusion and cannot avoid the vengeance that their own  belief in justice must entail. And so they fear the Holy Spirit and
Tx:26.6  it and rejoice with him. Make not his holiness a sacrifice to your  belief in sin. You sacrifice your innocence with his and die each
Tx:26.35 Yet in each unforgiving act or thought, in every judgment, and in all  belief in sin, is that one instant still called back, as if it could
Tx:26.36  delude himself that this is true and pass from mere imagining into  belief and into madness, quite convinced that where he would prefer
Tx:26.42  by long ago, which cannot be relived. And all of time is but the mad  belief that what is over is still here and now.
Tx:26.44  perceived reality has entered all the world of sick illusions. All  belief in sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and
Tx:26.50 God's answer lies where the  belief in sin must be, for only there can its effects be utterly
Tx:26.52  not error, for it goes beyond correction to impossibility. Yet the  belief that it is real has made some errors seem forever past the
Tx:26.59 Sin is  belief attack can be projected outside the mind where the belief
Tx:26.59 Sin is belief attack can be projected outside the mind where the  belief arose. Here is the firm conviction that ideas can leave their
Tx:26.72  unless he thought they had been caused and judged disastrous now?  Belief in sin arouses fear and, like its cause, is looking forward,
Tx:26.87  the other must be seen. You cannot be unfairly treated. The  belief you are is but another form of the idea you are deprived by
Tx:27.4 The power of witness is beyond  belief because it brings conviction in its wake. The witness is
Tx:27.9 These are not sins, but witnesses unto the strange  belief that sin and death are real, and innocence and sin will end
Tx:27.16  prove to him, you will believe. The power of witness comes from your  belief. And everything you say or do or think but testifies to what
Tx:27.30  What can interfere with the awareness of reality is the  belief that there is something there.
Tx:27.45  Only when demonstrated has it been proved and must compel  belief. No one is healed through double messages. If you wish only to
Tx:28.30  sickness is kept carefully protected, cherished, and upheld by firm  belief, lest God should come to bridge the little gap that leads to
Tx:28.46  you perceive within the gap? The seeds of sickness come from the  belief that there is joy in separation, and its giving up would be a
Tx:29.16  to alter it. Yet this but means the mind remains unchanged in its  belief of what the purpose of the body is.
Tx:29.54 An idol is a false impression or a false  belief—some form of anti-Christ which constitutes a gap between the
Tx:29.56  the truth shine unencumbered, being what it is. It does not need  belief to be itself, for it has been created, so it is. An idol is
Tx:29.56  itself, for it has been created, so it is. An idol is established by  belief, and when it is withdrawn, the idol “dies.”
Tx:30.24  really want. Its purpose has no longer been obscured by the insane  belief you want it for the goal of being right when you are wrong.
Tx:30.38  its expression in the terms of form. Idols are limits. They are the  belief that there are forms which will bring happiness and that, by
Tx:30.40  of an idol—that you will not look beyond it to the source of the  belief that you are incomplete. Only if you had sinned could this be
Tx:30.58  no one stands outside this hope because the world has been united in  belief the purpose of the world is one which all must share if hope
Tx:30.75 There is no surer proof idolatry is what you wish than a  belief there are some forms of sickness and of joylessness
Tx:30.75  not appearances at all. Be not deceived about the meaning of a fixed  belief that some appearances are harder to look past than others are.
Tx:30.92  awareness is unreal and does not interfere at all. The cost of the  belief there must be some appearances beyond the hope of change is

W1:99.5  that its Source is timeless. Yet it operates in time because of your  belief that time is real. Unshaken does the Holy Spirit look on what

Tx:6.24  is the notion of rejection. As long as you teach this, you still  believe it. This is not as God thinks, and you must think as He
Tx:6.26  referring, what you project you disown and therefore do not  believe is yours. You are excluding yourself by the very statement

Tx:6.34 The Holy Spirit uses time but does not  believe in it. Coming from God, He uses everything for good, but He

Tx:6.34  the Holy Spirit is in your minds, your minds must also be able to  believe only what is true. The Holy Spirit can speak only for this
Tx:6.40  true. From this, which you have made, you have taught yourselves to  believe that you are not what you are. You cannot teach what you have

Tx:6.71  you do not share a thought system, you are weakening it. Those who  believe in it therefore perceive this as an attack on them. This is
Tx:6.71  his thought system, and every thought system centers on what you  believe you are. If the center of the thought system is true, only
Tx:6.73  in others, he is being taught to react to both as if what he does  believe is not true.
Tx:6.77  you are free to think you are. It must, however, be insane to  believe that it is up to you to decide what God's creations are. The
Tx:6.89  it as it is. Since it is whole, you are teaching peace because you  believe in it. The final step will still be taken for you by God, but
Tx:6.91  therefore does engender doubt. You cannot go beyond belief until you  believe fully.

Tx:6.95 The third step, then, is a statement of what you want to  believe and entails a willingness to relinquish everything else. I
Tx:7.5  love to the Kingdom because I believed that was what I was. What you  believe you are determines your gifts, and if God created you by
Tx:7.10  by increasing and integrates by extending. What you project you  believe. This is an immutable law of the mind in this world as well
Tx:7.12 Those who are against freedom  believe that its outcome will hurt them, which cannot be true. But
Tx:7.14  the law which prevails inside it is adapted to “what you project you  believe.” This is its teaching form, since outside the Kingdom
Tx:7.14  what you are from what you have projected onto others and therefore  believe they are. In the Kingdom there is no teaching or learning,
Tx:7.29  Kingdom is merely to focus your full attention on it. As long as you  believe that you can attend to what is not true, you are accepting
Tx:7.31  means to make joyous. The dispirited are depressed, because they  believe that they are literally “without the Spirit,” which is an
Tx:7.32  what already is and perceived as a means for establishing it. To  believe this is possible is to believe you can do it. This can only
Tx:7.32  as a means for establishing it. To believe this is possible is to  believe you can do it. This can only be the voice of the ego.
Tx:7.35  ego tries to use all abilities, since its goal is always to make you  believe that you are in opposition.
Tx:7.40  must be so, since you can act in accordance with what you do not  believe. To do this, however, will weaken you as teachers and
Tx:7.40  because, as has been repeatedly emphasized, you teach what you do  believe. An inconsistent lesson will be poorly taught and poorly

Tx:7.61  if you had not believed the untrue. You cannot deny that, when you  believe something, you have made it true for you.
Tx:7.62 When you  believe what God does not know, your thought seems to contradict His,
Tx:7.62  are attacking Him. We have repeatedly emphasized that the ego does  believe it can attack God and tries to persuade you that you have
Tx:7.63  only as long as you do not recognize what is true.] While you  believe that two totally contradictory thought systems share truth,

Tx:7.77  who attack do not know they are blessed. They attack because they  believe they are deprived. Give therefore of your abundance and teach
Tx:7.78  you feel deprived of it, and by projecting your own rejection, you  believe that others are taking it from you. One must be fearful if he

Tx:7.86  have blotted their projections from their own minds, but they also  believe their projections are trying to creep back into them. That is

Tx:8.110  shaken. Can you ask of the Holy Spirit truly and doubt your brother?  Believe his words are true because of the truth which is in him. You
Tx:8.112  you extend it. You will not trust the guidance of the Holy Spirit or  believe that it is for you unless you hear it in others. It must be

Tx:8.115 To disbelieve is to side against or to attack. To  believe is to accept and to side with. To believe is not to be
Tx:8.115  against or to attack. To believe is to accept and to side with. To  believe is not to be credulous but to accept and appreciate. What you
Tx:8.115  is not to be credulous but to accept and appreciate. What you do not  believe, you do not appreciate, and you cannot be grateful for what
Tx:8.117  value on what you receive and have priced it by what you give. To  believe that it is possible to get much for little is to believe that
Tx:8.117  give. To believe that it is possible to get much for little is to  believe that you can bargain with God. God's laws are always fair and
Tx:9.7  from love. Any attempt you make to correct a brother means that you  believe correction by you is possible, and this can only be the
Tx:9.9  error, and do not let your perception rest upon it, for you will  believe what your perception holds. Accept as true only what your
Tx:9.14  any belief in its realness enter your minds at all, or you will also  believe that you must undo what you have made in order to be
Tx:9.19  or fearful, pretty or ugly, but no one calls them true. Children may  believe them, and so for a while the tales are true for them. Yet

Tx:9.57  To accept your littleness is arrogant, because it means that you  believe your evaluation of yourself is truer than God's.
Tx:9.59  as a means to regain eternity. You cannot do this as long as you  believe that anything which happens to you is caused by factors
Tx:9.61  you from beyond it because, being in God, you encompass everything.  Believe this, and you will realize how much is up to you. When
Tx:9.73  not make such an insane decision. You make it only because you still  believe that it can get you something you want. It follows, then,
Tx:9.76  is the awareness that no one is separate, and so no one is sick. To  believe that a Son of God can be sick is to believe that part of God
Tx:9.76  so no one is sick. To believe that a Son of God can be sick is to  believe that part of God can suffer. Love cannot suffer, because it
Tx:9.77  remind him of his wholeness and remember your Creator with him? To  believe a Son of God is sick is to worship the same idol he does. God
Tx:9.81  make, but you are. You would save them and serve them, because you  believe that they made you. You think they are your father because
Tx:9.82 Very simply, then, you may  believe you are afraid of nothingness, but you are really afraid of
Tx:9.85  irreconcilable. If God created you perfect, you are perfect. If you  believe you can be sick, you have placed other gods before Him. God
Tx:9.93  not. No one can really do this, but that you can think you can and  believe you have is beyond dispute.
Tx:9.94  that to deny God will inevitably result in projection, and you will  believe that others, and not yourself, have done this to you. You

Tx:9.105  Fatherhood must be acknowledged if the real Son is to be known. You  believe that the sick things which you have made are your real
Tx:9.105  sick things which you have made are your real creations, because you  believe that the sick images you perceive are the Sons of God.
Tx:10.6  my Father are one with you, for you are part of us. Do you really  believe that part of God can be missing or lost to Him?
Tx:10.8  simply because you have tried to limit what He created, and so you  believe that all creation is limited. How, then, could you know your
Tx:10.8  not permit contradiction. What holds for God holds for you. If you  believe you are absent from God, you will believe that He is absent

Tx:10.45  be independent of you. He has included you in His Autonomy. Can you  believe that autonomy is meaningful apart from Him? The belief in ego
Tx:10.52 Upheld by fear, this is what the ego would have you  believe. Yet God's Son is not insane and cannot believe it. Let him
Tx:10.52  ego would have you believe. Yet God's Son is not insane and cannot  believe it. Let him but recognize it, and he will not accept it. For
Tx:10.52  insane would choose fear in place of love, and only the insane could  believe that love can be gained by attack. But the sane know that
Tx:10.59 It is impossible not to  believe what you see, but it is equally impossible to see what you do
Tx:10.59  what you see, but it is equally impossible to see what you do not  believe. Perceptions are built up on the basis of experience, and
Tx:10.59  are fixed that perceptions stabilize. In effect, then, what you  believe, you do see. That is what I meant when I said, “Blessed are
Tx:10.59  I meant when I said, “Blessed are ye who have not seen and still  believe,” for those who believe in the resurrection will see it. The
Tx:10.59  “Blessed are ye who have not seen and still believe,” for those who  believe in the resurrection will see it. The resurrection is the
Tx:10.60  clearly because you are interpreting against it and therefore do not  believe it. And if belief determines perception, you do not perceive
Tx:10.62  And can you perceive it in yourself and not perceive it in God?  Believe in the resurrection because it has been accomplished, and it
Tx:10.66  the Son of God as crucified, you are asleep. And as long as you  believe that you can crucify him, you are only having nightmares. You
Tx:10.67  that I have done them unto you. Do not set limits on what you  believe I can do through you, or you will not accept what I can do
Tx:10.68  mine. For your part must be like mine if you learn it of me. If you  believe that yours is limited, you are limiting mine. There is no
Tx:10.71  illusion and reality. For perceptions cannot be partly true. If you  believe in truth and illusion, you cannot tell which is true. To
Tx:10.73 To  believe that you can perceive the real world is to believe that you
Tx:10.73 To believe that you can perceive the real world is to  believe that you can know yourself. You can know God because it is
Tx:10.74  nothing more than that only reality is true is necessary. But do you  believe it? When you have perceived the real world, you will
Tx:10.74  have perceived the real world, you will recognize that you did not  believe it. Yet the swiftness with which your new and only real
Tx:10.80  The Holy Spirit will answer every specific problem as long as you  believe that problems are specific. His answer is both many and one,
Tx:10.80  are specific. His answer is both many and one, as long as you  believe that the one is many. Realize that you are afraid of His
Tx:10.81 You are refusing to ask because you  believe that asking is taking, and you do not perceive it as sharing.
Tx:10.82  Little Children of God, you do not understand your Father. You  believe in a world that takes, because you believe that you can get
Tx:10.82  your Father. You believe in a world that takes, because you  believe that you can get by taking. And by that perception, you have
Tx:10.83  Child of God, you are asking only for what I promised you. Do you  believe I would deceive you? The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.
Tx:10.83  believe I would deceive you? The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.  Believe that the truth is in me, for I know that it is in you. God's
Tx:11.1  error real, and the way to do this is very simple. If you want to  believe in error, you would have to make it real because it is not
Tx:11.1  because it is not true. But truth is real in its own right, and to  believe in truth, you do not have to do anything. Understand that you
Tx:11.17  recognizes that he does not know what his perceptions mean. Yet you  believe that you do know. Little children, you are hiding your heads
Tx:11.28  only answer. Never lose sight of this, and never allow yourself to  believe even for an instant that there is another answer. For you
Tx:11.34  only in the mind of its maker along with his real salvation. Do not  believe it is outside of yourself, for only by recognizing where it
Tx:11.40  search for your home whether you know where it is or not. If you  believe it is outside yourself, the search will be futile, for you
Tx:11.40  is not. You do not know how to look within yourself, for you do not  believe your home is there. Yet the Holy Spirit knows it for you, and
Tx:11.41  treasure, you will sell everything else to purchase it. And you will  believe that you have purchased it because you have sold everything
Tx:11.43  the situation you have made. You use attack to do so because you  believe that attack was successful in weakening you.
Tx:11.65 As long as you  believe you have two functions, so long will you need correction. For
Tx:11.65  you see? Of whose presence would you be convinced? For you will  believe in what you manifest, and as you look out, so will you see
Tx:11.66  integration, and if it is split and wants to keep the split, it will  believe it has one goal by making it one.
Tx:11.68  not within. This gives it an illusion of integrity and enables it to  believe that it is pursuing one goal. As long as you perceive the
Tx:11.69  accepted opposition there, having sought it there. But do not then  believe that the witnesses for opposition are true, for they attest
Tx:11.75  God to Whom treachery is impossible, but it is a traitor to you who  believe you have been treacherous to your Father. That is why the
Tx:11.75  not from the ego because, by confusing yourself with the ego, you  believe that you want death. And from what you want, God does not
Tx:11.77 Do you really  believe that you can kill the Son of God? The Father has hidden His
Tx:11.87  Father was lost, since only those who do not understand Him could  believe it.
Tx:11.91  spread along the past behind you and will disappear. As long as you  believe the Son of God is guilty, you will walk along this carpet,
Tx:11.98  notion that attack is salvation. And you who cherish guilt must also  believe it, for how else but by identifying with the ego could you
Tx:12.5 In the calm light of truth, let us recognize that you  believe you have crucified God's Son. You have not admitted to this
Tx:12.5  the ego does want to kill you, and if you identify with it, you must  believe its goal is yours.
Tx:12.7  seen its results and you still lack faith in it. You must, then,  believe that by not learning the course, you are protecting yourself.
Tx:12.8  the alternative with gladness. You are afraid of redemption, and you  believe it will kill you. Make no mistake about the depth of your
Tx:12.8  will kill you. Make no mistake about the depth of your fear. For you  believe that in the presence of truth you will turn on yourself and
Tx:12.11  even upon the ego's darkest cornerstone without fear if you did not  believe that, without the ego, you would find within yourself
Tx:12.12  to look even upon your savage wish to kill God's Son if you did not  believe that it saves you from love. For this wish caused the
Tx:12.12  Father would impel you to answer His call and leap into Heaven. You  believe that attack is salvation to prevent you from this. For still
Tx:12.14  it would sweep you away from yourself and make you little. For you  believe that magnitude lies in defiance and that attack is grandeur.
Tx:12.21  live in the light, and it must seek a place of darkness where it can  believe it is where it is not. God did not allow this to happen. Yet
Tx:12.24  reality to establish yours. If their reality is questioned, you  believe that yours is. For you believe that attack is your reality
Tx:12.24  If their reality is questioned, you believe that yours is. For you  believe that attack is your reality and that your destruction is the
Tx:12.48  continuous and make them so for you. But do not be deceived and then  believe that this is how it is, for to believe that reality is what
Tx:12.48  do not be deceived and then believe that this is how it is, for to  believe that reality is what you would have it be according to your
Tx:13.11  its laws, for they are laws of punishment. And those who follow them  believe that they are guilty, and so they must condemn. Between the
Tx:13.14  other, and guilt has become as true for you as innocence. You do not  believe the Son of God is guiltless because you see the past and see
Tx:13.15  himself and make himself guilty is insane. In any form, in anyone,  believe this not. For sin and condemnation are the same, and the
Tx:13.18  too afraid to look upon the light within. Within you is not what you  believe is there and what you put your faith in.
Tx:13.22  those who suffer guilt will attempt to displace it, because they do  believe in it. Yet, though they suffer, they will not look within and
Tx:13.25 As long as you  believe that guilt is justified in any way in anyone whatever he may
Tx:13.25  find Atonement. The end of guilt will never come as long as you  believe there is a reason for it. For you must learn that guilt is
Tx:13.42  within you, joining your minds with His, cannot be broken. You may  believe you want it broken, and this belief does interfere with the
Tx:13.52  And while you think it possible to learn to do this, you will not  believe all that is possible to learn to do.
Tx:13.54  happy. The Holy Spirit cannot teach without this contrast, for you  believe that misery is happiness. This has so confused you that you
Tx:13.55  already burdened or you would not have sought another. You will  believe that nothing is of value and will value it. A little piece of
Tx:13.62  was? This simple lesson holds the key to the dark door which you  believe is locked forever. You made this door of nothing and behind
Tx:13.65  pain of guilt and do not look upon it as having value in itself. You  believe that guilt and guiltlessness are both of value, each
Tx:13.73  of. Those who accept the Atonement are invulnerable. But those who  believe they are guilty will respond to guilt because they think it
Tx:13.73  is salvation and will not refuse to see it and side with it. [They  believe that increasing guilt is self-protection.] And they will fail
Tx:13.74 All this arises because they do not  believe that what they want is good. Yet will was given them because
Tx:13.86  of your brother's guiltlessness shining within him while you still  believe it is not there. His guiltlessness is your Atonement. Grant
Tx:14.13  Remember for everyone your Father's power that He has given him.  Believe not that you cannot teach His perfect peace. Stand not
Tx:14.25  cannot know this, for by hiding truth in fear, you see no reason to  believe the more you look at fear, the less you see it, and the
Tx:14.52  for you are much too confused either to recognize love or to  believe that everything else is nothing but a need for love. You are
Tx:14.53  the content must be. Otherwise, it will attack the form. You who  believe you understand something of the dynamics of the mind, let me
Tx:14.62  each one for the bright lesson He has learned for you. Never  believe that any lesson you have learned apart from Him means
Tx:15.4  the ego aims at death and dissolution as an end, it does not  believe it. The goal of death, which it craves for you, leaves it
Tx:15.7  advertise its final threat, for it would have its worshipers still  believe that it can offer the escape from it. But the belief in guilt
Tx:15.7  the future. For no one who considers himself as deserving hell can  believe that punishment will end in peace.
Tx:15.24  think you are and represents the value that you put upon yourself.  Believe the little can content you, and by limiting yourself, you
Tx:15.35 This course is not beyond immediate learning unless you prefer to  believe that what God wills takes time. And this means only that you
Tx:15.41  perfect communication that makes the holy instant what it is. You  believe that it is possible to harbor thoughts you would not share
Tx:15.45  do not know what anything means. You are afraid of this because you  believe that without the ego all would be chaos. Yet I assure you
Tx:15.46  is the source of guilt, and to appeal to it for salvation is to  believe you are alone. To be alone is to be guilty. For to experience
Tx:15.47  to God, Who knows no special love, how can you understand it? To  believe that special relationships, with special love, can offer you
Tx:15.58  satisfaction in gratifying your needs as you perceive them, you must  believe that strength comes from another, and what you gain he loses.
Tx:15.59 You do not find it difficult to  believe that, when another calls on God for love, your call remains
Tx:15.72  What releases him from guilt is “bad,” because he would no longer  believe that bodies communicate, and so he would be “gone.”
Tx:15.73  they seek relief from guilt by increasing it in the other. For they  believe that this decreases it in them. The other seems always to be
Tx:15.75  teach through fear. And how can He communicate with you while you  believe that to communicate is to make yourself alone? It is clearly
Tx:15.75  to communicate is to make yourself alone? It is clearly insane to  believe that by communicating you will be abandoned. And yet you do
Tx:15.75  believe that by communicating you will be abandoned. And yet you do  believe it. For you think that your minds must be kept private or you
Tx:15.76  of the ego's plan to establish its own autonomy. As long as you  believe that to be with a body is companionship, you will be
Tx:15.77  It is the Holy Spirit's teaching function to instruct those who  believe that communication is damnation that communication is
Tx:15.83  communication, for He does not share it with you. It is only you who  believe that it is understandable.
Tx:15.95  one you do not want, they go together. The idea is simply this—you  believe that it is possible to be host to the ego or hostage to God.
Tx:15.95  This is the choice you think you have, and the decision which you  believe that you must make.
Tx:15.97 As host to the ego, you  believe that you can give all your guilt away whatever you think and
Tx:15.98  then, has God become to you, and how great a sacrifice do you  believe His love demands! For total love would demand total
Tx:15.104 You who  believe that sacrifice is love must learn that sacrifice is
Tx:16.13  clearly been accomplished through your willingness, as long as you  believe that you must understand it or else it is not real.
Tx:16.14  lack of understanding is a loss to you, and so you are unwilling to  believe that what has happened is true. But can you really believe
Tx:16.14  to believe that what has happened is true. But can you really  believe that all that has happened, even though you do not understand
Tx:16.22  you not have faith in what you have so diligently taught yourself to  believe? Yet remember how much care you have exerted in choosing its
Tx:16.23  outside of you. You could never have taught freedom unless you did  believe in it. And it must be that what you taught came from
Tx:16.44  considers it bizarre to love and hate together, and even those who  believe that hate is sin merely feel guilty and do not correct it.
Tx:16.46  He denied. It is essential to the preservation of the ego that you  believe this specialness is not hell, but Heaven. For the ego would
Tx:17.3  is that there are some things you would withhold from truth. You  believe that truth cannot deal with them only because you would keep
Tx:17.8  world and this is so little and so easy to cross that you could not  believe it is the meeting place of worlds so different. Yet this
Tx:17.35  gift is given you for your damnation, and if you take it, you will  believe that you are damned. You cannot have the frame without the
Tx:17.48  was there to accept the relationship, why would you now not still  believe that He is there to purify what He has taken under His
Tx:17.51  hand to walk together along a road far more familiar than you now  believe. Is it not certain that you will remember a goal unchanged
Tx:17.64  witnesses to your lack of faith. They demonstrate that you did not  believe that the situation and the problem were in the same place.
Tx:17.79  and you had faith in it, for no one accepts what he does not  believe is real. Your purpose has not changed and will not change,
Tx:18.4 You who  believe that God is fear made but one substitution. It has taken many
Tx:18.7  depart from you. Inward is sanity; insanity is outside you. You but  believe it is the other way; that truth is outside and error and
Tx:18.27  hold mine, for when you joined each other you were not alone. Do you  believe that I would leave you in the darkness you agreed to leave
Tx:18.34  God did not create His dwelling-place unworthy of Him. And if you  believe He cannot enter where He wills to be, you must be interfering
Tx:18.35  It is impossible to make arrogant preparations for holiness and not  believe that it is up to you to establish the conditions for peace.
Tx:18.40  everything that is natural and easy for you impossible. What you  believe to be impossible will be if God so wills it, but you will
Tx:18.40  if God so wills it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. If you  believe the holy instant is difficult for you, it is because you have
Tx:18.45  dream through which He can spread joy to thousands on thousands who  believe that love is fear, not happiness. Let Him fulfill the
Tx:18.46  to experience fear alone or to attempt to deal with it alone. Never  believe that this is necessary or even possible. Yet just as this is
Tx:18.68  do nothing” is a statement of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty.  Believe it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is
Tx:18.89  remain guilt's messenger and will act as it directs as long as you  believe that guilt is real. For the reality of guilt is the illusion
Tx:19.30  how to look on time differently and see beyond it, but not while you  believe in sin. In error, yes; for this can be corrected by the mind.
Tx:19.31 When you are tempted to  believe that sin is real, remember this: If sin is real, both God and
Tx:19.31  wills to destroy Him and has the power to do so. Is it not easier to  believe that you have been mistaken than to believe in this?
Tx:19.31  so. Is it not easier to believe that you have been mistaken than to  believe in this?
Tx:19.32 While you  believe that your reality or your brother's is bounded by a body, you
Tx:19.32  that your reality or your brother's is bounded by a body, you will  believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can unite, you will
Tx:19.32  brother's is bounded by a body, you will believe in sin. While you  believe that bodies can unite, you will find guilt attractive and
Tx:19.32  believe that bodies can unite, you will find guilt attractive and  believe that sin is precious. For the belief that bodies limit mind
Tx:19.57  is not real. The body does appear to be the symbol of sin while you  believe that it can get you what you want. While you believe that it
Tx:19.57  sin while you believe that it can get you what you want. While you  believe that it can give you pleasure, you will also believe that it
Tx:19.57  want. While you believe that it can give you pleasure, you will also  believe that it can bring you pain.
Tx:19.60  the value that you think peace would rob you of. This is what you  believe that it would dispossess and leave you homeless. And it is
Tx:19.75 Hear not its madness, and  believe not the impossible is true. Forget not that the ego has
Tx:19.75  in solemn celebration of the ego's rule. Not one but must  believe that yielding to the attraction of guilt is the escape from
Tx:19.81  and lamented by every mourner who looks upon it as himself. You who  believe you have condemned the Son of God to this are arrogant. But
Tx:19.96  of your will. Look upon it open-eyed and you will nevermore  believe that you are at the mercy of things beyond you, forces you
Tx:20.20  you in the world. And to this world must you adjust, as long as you  believe this picture is outside and has you at its mercy. This world
Tx:20.24  of what is totally bereft of judgment? And if you have, would you  believe the answer and adjust to it as if it were the truth? The
Tx:20.74  recognized for what they are. This is the healing and the remedy.  Believe them not, and they are gone. And all you need to do is
Tx:21.6  They do not understand the lessons keep them blind. This they do not  believe. And so they keep the world they learned to “see” in their
Tx:21.33  to illusions does not lack power, for by it does the Son of God  believe that he is powerless. Thus is he faithless to himself, but
Tx:21.37 Those who  believe in sin must think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for
Tx:21.42  your eyes will light on sin, and God will strike you blind. This you  believe, and so you do not look. Yet this is not the ego's hidden
Tx:21.50  worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality. You will  believe that you are helpless prey to forces far beyond your own
Tx:21.50  made directs your destiny. For this will be your faith. But never  believe because it is your faith it makes reality.
Tx:21.59  help. Yet if you will not accept the help you call for, you will not  believe that it is yours to give. And so you will not give it, thus
Tx:21.62  insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their will. For they  believe they see the body and let their madness tell them it is real.
Tx:21.70  requirement that it demands to be believed. Only the helpless could  believe in it. Enormity has no appeal save to the little. And only
Tx:21.70  Enormity has no appeal save to the little. And only those who first  believe that they are little could see attraction there. Treachery to
Tx:21.71  of God is powerless. And those who see themselves as helpless must  believe that they are not the Son of God. What can they be except his
Tx:21.74  faith in sin without an enemy. Who that believes in sin would dare  believe he has no enemy? Could he admit that no one made him
Tx:22.5  have a different will. Yet if you are his will, what you must then  believe is that you are not yourself. You can indeed believe this,
Tx:22.5  you must then believe is that you are not yourself. You can indeed  believe this, and you do. And you have faith in this and see much
Tx:22.8 What could be secret from God's Will? Yet you  believe that you have secrets. What could your secrets be except
Tx:22.19  other in every way, in every instance, and without exception. To  believe that one exception can exist is to confuse what is the same
Tx:22.25  your Creator and with a will opposed to His. For only if you would  believe His Son could be His enemy does it seem possible that what
Tx:22.32  its church is built and where its worshipers are bound to bodies and  believe the body's freedom is their own.
Tx:22.36  you would attack except what you associate with his body, which you  believe can sin? Beyond his errors is his holiness and your
Tx:22.51  will seek for it where he believes it is and can be found. He will  believe it possible of mind or body, and he will make the other serve
Tx:22.62  know His power is yours. But you will not remember this while you  believe attack of any kind means anything. It is unjustified in any
Tx:23.2 How strange indeed becomes this war against yourself! You will  believe that everything you use for sin can hurt you and become your
Tx:23.7  in victory is cherished. Conflict within you must imply that you  believe the ego has the power to be victorious. Why else would you
Tx:23.9  beliefs converge upon the body, the ego's chosen home, which you  believe is yours. You meet at a mistake—an error in your

Tx:29.61  the dream you made, and ask yourself if it be not the truth that you  believe that it is not a dream. A dream of judgment came into the
Tx:29.64  dreaming it. For idols must be part of it to save you from what you  believe you have accomplished and have done to make you sinful and

W1:26.2  be projected, you will fear attack. And if you fear attack, you must  believe that you are not invulnerable. Attack thoughts therefore make

W1:69.5 From where you stand, you can see no reason to  believe there is a brilliant light hidden by the clouds. The clouds
W1:70.1  is nothing more than some form of the basic temptation not to  believe the idea for today. Salvation seems to come from anywhere
W1:71.1  for salvation in opposition to God's. It is this plan in which you  believe. Since it is the opposite of God's, you also believe that to
W1:71.1  in which you believe. Since it is the opposite of God's, you also  believe that to accept God's plan in place of the ego's is to be

W1:87.5  because there is no will but God's. I can become afraid only when I  believe that there is another will. I try to attack only when I am
W1:87.5  to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I  believe that my eternal safety is threatened. Today I will recognize
W1:88.7 My perception of this shows me I  believe in laws which do not exist. I see only the laws of God at

W1:92.1  is tied up with the body and its eyes and brain. This is why you  believe that you can change what you see by putting little bits of
W1:92.2  the conviction you are a body and the body's eyes can see. You also  believe the body's brain can think. If you but understood the nature

W1:93.2  bowed down to idols made of dust—all this is true by what you now  believe.
W1:95.1  accept this and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you  believe that you have changed yourself already. You see yourself as a

W1:101.1  This is a key idea in understanding what salvation means. You still  believe it asks for suffering as penance for your “sins.” This is not
W1:101.1  for your “sins.” This is not so. Yet you must think it so while you  believe that sin is real and that God's Son can sin. If sin is real,

W1:124.9 Your benefit will not be less if you  believe that nothing happens. You may not be ready to accept the gain
W1:126.2 Let us consider what you do  believe in place of this idea. It seems to you that other people are

W1:127.7  For 15 minutes twice today escape from every law in which you now  believe. Open your mind and rest. The world that seems to hold you
W1:128.1  can use in any way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy.  Believe this thought, and you are saved from years of misery, from
W1:128.4  thoughts delay your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation to  believe the world has anything you want to hold you back. Nothing is
W1:130.4  separation, all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you  believe make up the world. They are not there. Love's enemy has made
W1:133.10  will not perceive that he has merely failed to gain. He will  believe that he has served the ego's hidden goals. And though he

W1:133.12 And so we come to the criterion for choice which is the hardest to  believe, because its obviousness is overlaid with many levels of

W1:134.3  that you find in genuine forgiveness on your part is that you still  believe you must forgive the truth and not illusions. You conceive of
W1:134.4  as deception. For it is impossible to think of sin as true and not  believe forgiveness is a lie. Thus is forgiveness really but a sin,
W1:135.28 Try not to shape this day as you  believe would benefit you most. For you cannot conceive of all the
W1:136.3  magic wands you wave when truth appears to threaten what you would  believe. They seem to be unconscious but because of the rapidity with
W1:136.11 Such is your planning for your own defense. And you  believe that Heaven quails before such mad attacks as these, with God
W1:138.1 In this world, Heaven is a choice because here we  believe there are alternatives to choose between. We think that all
W1:139.3 To be alive and not to know yourself is to  believe that you are really dead. For what is life except to be
W1:139.7  to ask what it must be is all the proof you need to show that you  believe the contradiction that you know not what you cannot fail to
W1:151.2  what is shown you through the body's eyes. Nor do you ask why you  believe it, even though you learned a long while since your senses do
W1:151.2  you learned a long while since your senses do deceive. That you  believe them to the last detail which they report is even stranger
W1:151.4  is a right to be withheld from you. You cannot judge. You merely can  believe the ego's judgments, all of which are false. It guides your

W1:152.2 You may  believe that this position is extreme and too inclusive to be true.
W1:152.6 Is it not strange that you  believe to think you made the world you see is arrogance? God made it
W1:152.7  And can you see what God created not? To think you can is merely to  believe you can perceive what God willed not to be. And what could be
W1:153.7  you now from your delusion of an angry god whose fearful image you  believe you see at work in all the evils of the world? What but
W1:154.1  not in hell. And what we think is weakness can be strength; what we  believe to be our strength is often arrogance.

Tx:7.64  you believe what you can understand is up to you to decide. The ego  believes this totally, being fully committed to it. It is not true.
Tx:7.78  that others are taking it from you. One must be fearful if he  believes that his brother is attacking him to tear the Kingdom of
Tx:7.79  its insane belief that you have been treacherous to your Creator, it  believes that your brothers, who are as incapable of this as you are,
Tx:7.79  God from you. Whenever a brother attacks another, this is what he  believes. Projection always sees your will in others. If you will to

Tx:9.25  share. He cannot correct because he is not working correctively. He  believes that it is up to him to teach the patient what is real, but

Tx:9.51  cannot be a real part of you because of the littleness in which it  believes.
Tx:9.77 Do not side with sickness in the presence of a Son of God even if he  believes in it, for your acceptance of God in him acknowledges the

Tx:10.51  with Him and fulfilling your function as it exists in truth. The ego  believes that to accomplish its goal is happiness. But it is given
Tx:10.53  approach of the ego to everything. Never forget that the ego  believes that power, understanding, and truth lie in separation, and
Tx:10.70  world's only reality. They are still perceptions because he still  believes that he is separate. Yet they are eternal because they are
Tx:11.16  in sickness but another call for love and offer your brother what he  believes he cannot offer himself. Whatever the sickness, there is but
Tx:11.25  want to do. The very fact of his insistence should tell you that he  believes salvation lies in it. If you insist on refusing and
Tx:11.30  your attempt to maintain your ego identification, for everyone  believes that identification is salvation. Yet consider what has
Tx:11.36  teaching. It never puts it this way; on the contrary, everyone who  believes that the ego is salvation is intensely engaged in the search
Tx:11.37  off, or it could not be believed at all. For it is your mind that  believes in it and gives existence to it. Yet it is also your mind
Tx:11.74  to death. The death penalty is the ego's ultimate goal, for it fully  believes that you are a criminal, as deserving of death as God knows
Tx:11.92  he fears and which he sees will never touch him, for although he  believes in it, the Holy Spirit knows it is not true. The Holy Spirit
Tx:11.96  on one-dimensional time, proceeding from past to future. No one who  believes this can understand what always means. And therefore guilt
Tx:11.98  is the ego's plan, which it offers instead of dispelling it. The ego  believes in atonement through attack, being fully committed to the
Tx:12.26  might well begin. The ego invests heavily in the past and in the end  believes that the past is the only aspect of time that is meaningful.
Tx:12.35  one hears their answer save him who called upon them, and he alone  believes they answered him. Projection makes perception, and you
Tx:13.27  to make what will be now. As yet it is not now. The Son of God  believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a dark world where pain
Tx:13.35  no one sees himself in conflict and ravaged by a cruel war unless he  believes that both opponents in the war are real. Believing this, he
Tx:14.28  is seen in the same place. Light cannot enter darkness when a mind  believes in darkness and will not let it go. Truth does not struggle
Tx:15.66  the ego to enter into any relationship without anger, for the ego  believes that anger makes friends. This is not its statement, but it
Tx:15.66  This is not its statement, but it is its purpose. For the ego really  believes that it can get and keep by making guilty. This is its one
Tx:15.67  in it, to learn to let it go. No one would choose to let go what he  believes has value. Yet the attraction of guilt has value to you only
Tx:15.71  thinks he wants. He is not in love with the other at all. He merely  believes he is in love with sacrifice. And for this sacrifice, which
Tx:15.71  himself as well. Forgiveness becomes impossible, for the ego  believes that to forgive another is to lose him. For it is only by
Tx:16.72  escape from the past, it sees itself deprived of the vengeance it  believes that you so justly merit. Yet without your alliance in your
Tx:17.61  again, you see the opposite of the ego's way of looking, for the ego  believes the situation brings the experience. The Holy Spirit knows
Tx:17.62  give. Yet this is so only from the viewpoint of the ego, for the ego  believes in “solving” conflict through fragmentation and does not
Tx:18.51  is never what the body does that seems to satisfy. Unless the mind  believes the body is actually acting out its fantasies, it will
Tx:18.52  attack, but it can deceive itself. And this is all it does when it  believes it has attacked the body. It can project its guilt, but it
Tx:18.57  from himself except in illusions. This is not his reality, though he  believes it is. Yet this could only be if God were wrong. God would
Tx:19.49  not be afraid. Fear is attracted to what love sees not, and each  believes that what the other looks upon does not exist. Fear looks on
Tx:19.110  the journey was your choice. And no one undertakes to do what he  believes is meaningless. What you had faith in still is faithful and
Tx:20.22 The world  believes in sin, but the belief that made it as you see it is not
Tx:21.23  to welcome it or not. Faith and desire go hand in hand, for everyone  believes in what he wants.
Tx:21.31  a power. For faith can keep the Son of God in chains as long as he  believes he is in chains. And when he is released from them, it will
Tx:21.31  he is released from them, it will be simply because he no longer  believes in them, withdrawing faith that they can hold him and
Tx:21.38  to use the body to carry out the means for sin in which the mind  believes. Thus is the joining of mind and body an inescapable belief
Tx:21.63  if you think it does, you are insane. But madness has a purpose and  believes it also has the means to make its purpose real. To see the
Tx:21.71 No one  believes the Son of God is powerless. And those who see themselves as
Tx:21.74  a target. There can be no faith in sin without an enemy. Who that  believes in sin would dare believe he has no enemy? Could he admit
Tx:21.88  ask for it. For no one fails to ask for his desire of something he  believes holds out some promise of the power of giving it. He may be
Tx:22.21  You know what your Creator wills is possible, but what you made  believes it is not so. Now must you choose between yourself and an
Tx:22.51  for freedom and tries to find it. Yet he will seek for it where he  believes it is and can be found. He will believe it possible of mind
Tx:24.41  effect and cause are interchanged, for here the maker of the dream  believes that what he made is happening to him. He does not realize
Tx:25.24  world where this reflection is, is real at all. Only because His Son  believes it is, and from His Son's belief He could not let Himself be
Tx:25.26  God created it, but in some form adapted to the need the Son of God  believes he has. Corrected error is the error's end. And thus has God
Tx:25.52  makes any sense at all within this world. And nothing that the world  believes as true has any meaning in His Mind at all. What makes no
Tx:25.53  in anything it thinks, or is maintained by any form of reason  believes this to be true. Sin is not real because the Father and the
Tx:26.21 Nothing the Son of God  believes can be destroyed. But what is truth to him must be brought
Tx:26.25  into Heaven. No one forgives unless he has believed in sin and still  believes that he has much to be forgiven. Forgiveness thus becomes
Tx:27.14  of the guilt they overlook. Yet no one can forgive a sin which he  believes is real. And what has consequences must be real because what
Tx:27.81  and dreaming in the world remembers his attack upon himself. No one  believes there really was a time when he knew nothing of a body and
Tx:29.53  to supply your lacks and add the value which you do not have. No one  believes in idols who has not enslaved himself to littleness and
Tx:29.59  depending on the one of whom the question has been asked. The world  believes in idols. No one comes unless he worshiped them and still
Tx:31.44  at times with pity on the suffering and sometimes offers solace. It  believes that it is good within an evil world.
Tx:31.56  has always been the great preoccupation of the world. And everyone  believes that he must find the answer to the riddle of himself.
W1:127.5  the world obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the world  believes was made to hide love's meaning and to keep it dark and
W1:130.1  has not accorded value. And no one can fail to look upon what he  believes he wants.
W1:131.10  what has no opposite. He thinks he made a hell opposing Heaven and  believes that he abides in what does not exist, while Heaven is the
W1:134.11  not kept to swell and bluster and to terrify the foolish dreamer who  believes in them. He has been gently wakened from his dream by
W1:136.11  made slave to laws which your defenses would impose on it. Yet who  believes illusions but the one who made them up? Who else can see
W1:139.6  sad belief that what is universal here is true? Nothing the world  believes is true. It is a place whose purpose is to be a home where
W1:159.1  Heaven and the world agree. But here they also separate. The world  believes that to possess a thing, it must be kept. Salvation teaches
W1:166.2  the world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy, and true  believes in two creators or in one, himself alone. But never in one
W1:166.4 Here is the only home he thinks he knows. Here is the only safety he  believes that he can find. Without the world he made is he an
W1:167.7  opposite in anything created nor in what it seems to make when it  believes it sleeps.
W1:193.2 God sees no contradictions. Yet His Son  believes he sees them. Thus he has a need for One Who can correct his
W1:200.6  escape of God's beloved Son from evil dreams that he imagines, yet  believes are true, a worthy purpose? Who could hope for more while
W2:356.1  not matter where he is, what seems to be his problem, nor what he  believes he has become. He is Your Son, and You will answer him. The
M:5.10  of God consider the forms of sickness in which their brother  believes. To do this is to forget that all of them have the same
M:10.1  says about them, and the teacher himself is inconsistent in what he  believes.
M:11.3  but that is meaningless to those who believe in them. And everyone  believes in what he made, for it was made by his believing it. Into
M:13.3  is a decision about identity, and no one doubts what he  believes he is. He can doubt all things but never this.
M:17.5  states in the clearest form possible that the mind which thinks it  believes it has a separate will that can oppose the Will of God and

Tx:5.11  Holy Inspiration is so close to knowledge that it calls it forth; or  better, allows it to come. We have spoken before of the higher or the
Tx:5.28  the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as one. What  better vocation could there be for any part of the Kingdom than to
Tx:5.55  that he belongs to God as you do. How could you treat your brother  better than by rendering unto God the things which are God's?
Tx:5.65 We said before that illness is a form of magic. It might be  better to say that it is a form of magical solution. The ego believes
Tx:5.83 The idea of “set” is among the  better psychological concepts. Actually, it is used quite frequently
Tx:5.87  although Freud misinterpreted what the Holy Spirit told him, or  better, reminded him of, he was too honest to deny more than was
Tx:5.90  His? Do you really believe that you can plan for your safety and joy  better than He can? You need be neither careful nor careless; you
Tx:6.3  quite evident that you had already developed the ability to follow a  better model if you could accept it.
Tx:6.28  there is another use of projection. Every ability of the ego has a  better counterpart, because its abilities are directed by the mind
Tx:6.28  because its abilities are directed by the mind which has a  better Voice. The Holy Spirit as well as the ego utilizes projection,
Tx:6.58 How can you wake children  better and more kindly than by a gentle Voice that will not frighten

Tx:7.49  voices, so you can see in two ways. One way shows you an image, or  better, an idol which you may worship out of fear but which you will
Tx:7.73  You cannot love this. Yet you can very easily escape from it or,  better, leave it behind. You are not there, and that is not you. Do
Tx:7.102  to you. You believe that doing the opposite of God's Will can be  better for you. You also believe that it is possible to do the

Tx:10.17  becomes a lesson in understanding, and the more you practice it, the  better teacher and learner you become. If you have denied truth, what
Tx:10.17  teacher and learner you become. If you have denied truth, what  better witnesses to its reality could you have than those who have
Tx:11.13  would look upon love, which is the world's reality, how could you do  better than to recognize in every defense against it the underlying
Tx:11.13  defense against it the underlying appeal for it? And how could you  better learn of its reality than by answering the appeal for it by
Tx:14.49  to classifying some of your thoughts as more important, larger or  better, wiser or more productive and valuable than others. And this
Tx:14.50  examples to show you that your way of ordering is wrong, but that a  better way is offered you.
Tx:16.11  or looking away from the whole to what you think you might be  better able to understand. For this is but another way in which you
Tx:16.11  in which you would still try to keep understanding to yourself. A  better and far more helpful way to think of miracles is this: You do
Tx:16.17  considering honestly what they have been? God wills you  better. Could you not look with greater charity on whom God loves
Tx:16.48  and the basis for the attempt at union rests on exclusion. What  better example could there be of the ego's maxim, “Seek but do not
Tx:16.49  much value can he place upon a self that he would give away to get a  better one?
Tx:17.39 You who have tried so hard and are still trying to fit the  better picture into the wrong frame and so combine what cannot be
Tx:18.15  are a way of looking at the world and changing it to suit the ego  better. They provide striking examples both of the ego's inability to

Tx:19.83  through your acceptance the power to release from corruption. What  better way to teach the first and fundamental principle in a course
Tx:20.46 Nothing can show the contrast  better than the experience of both a holy and an unholy relationship.
Tx:20.70  What can you value more than this? Why do you think the body is a  better home, a safer shelter for God's Son? Why would you rather look
Tx:20.76  the world outside must thus reflect the sight you saw within; or  better, if you saw at all or merely judged against. Vision is the

Tx:15.35 This course is not  beyond immediate learning unless you prefer to believe that what God
Tx:15.35  be is lost to you. You must decide on when it is. Delay it not. For  beyond the past and future, in which you will not find it, it stands
Tx:15.55 Think you that you can judge the Self of God? God has created it  beyond judgment out of His need to extend His Love. With love in you,

Tx:15.81  more than a mistake in who you are. For the holy host of God is  beyond failure, and nothing that he wills can be denied. You are

Tx:18.95 This course will lead to knowledge, but knowledge itself is still  beyond the scope of our curriculum. Nor is there any need for us to
Tx:18.95  is there any need for us to try to speak of what must forever lie  beyond words. We need remember only that whoever attains the real

Tx:19.92  This is the secret bargain made with the ego to keep what lies  beyond the veil forever blotted out and unremembered. Here is your

Tx:19.96  and you will nevermore believe that you are at the mercy of things  beyond you, forces you cannot control, and thoughts that come to you
Tx:19.96  death can stand against your will. For what attracts you from  beyond the veil is also deep within you, unseparated from it and
Tx:19.97  It does not open up its secrets and bid you look on them and go  beyond them. It would not have you see its weakness and learn it has
Tx:19.108 Together we will disappear into the Presence  beyond the veil, not to be lost, but found; not to be seen, but

Tx:20.13  the new vision that looks upon the lilies and brings you joy. We go  beyond the veil of fear, lighting each other's way. The holiness that
Tx:20.14  and his strong arm is free to guide you safely through them and  beyond. Walk with him now rejoicing, for the savior from illusions
Tx:20.38  sings of the end of sin and fear. Each speaks in time of what is far  beyond it. Two voices raised together call to the hearts of everyone
Tx:20.39  that rises from the meaningless attempt to judge what lies so far  beyond your judgment you cannot even see it? Judge not what is
Tx:20.57  Yet what is that to those who have been given one true relationship  beyond the body? Can they be long held back from looking on the face
Tx:21.10  Beyond the body, beyond the sun and stars, past everything you see
Tx:21.10 Beyond the body,  beyond the sun and stars, past everything you see and yet somehow
Tx:21.22  is to make room for truth. You are not asked to make or do what lies  beyond your understanding. All you are asked to do is let it in; only
Tx:21.36  their brothers in holiness, the power of belief and faith goes far  beyond the body, supporting vision, not obstructing it. But first
Tx:21.40  past it, as do you. The faith and the belief you gave it belongs  beyond. You gave perception and belief and faith from mind to body.
Tx:21.50  unreality. You will believe that you are helpless prey to forces far  beyond your own control and far more powerful than you. And you will
Tx:21.55  and redirected from the goal of sin as are the others. For reason is  beyond the ego's range of means.
Tx:21.57  have gained a means which cannot be applied to sin. Knowledge is far  beyond attainment of any kind. But reason can serve to open doors you
Tx:21.58  And in this change is room made way for vision. Vision extends  beyond itself, as does the purpose which it serves and all the means
Tx:22.4  It must extend, as you extended when you joined. It must reach out  beyond itself, as you reached out beyond the body to let yourselves
Tx:22.4  when you joined. It must reach out beyond itself, as you reached out  beyond the body to let yourselves be joined. And now the sameness
Tx:22.23  bless. Whose function is to save will save. How he will do it is  beyond your understanding, but when must be your choice. For time you
Tx:22.27  Beyond the bodies that you interposed between you and shining in the
Tx:22.27  beloved of God Himself. How still it rests, in time and yet  beyond, immortal yet on earth. How great the power that lies in it.
Tx:22.28  who is but willing to see his brother sinless. And no one can remain  beyond this willingness if you would be released entirely from all
Tx:22.33  prevent correction. The body's eyes see only form. They cannot see  beyond what they were made to see. And they were made to look on
Tx:22.33  strange perception, for they can see only illusions, unable to look  beyond the granite block of sin and stopping at the outside form of
Tx:22.34  for seeing. See how the body's eyes rest on externals and cannot go  beyond. Watch how they stop at nothingness, unable to go beyond the
Tx:22.34  cannot go beyond. Watch how they stop at nothingness, unable to go  beyond the form to meaning. Nothing so blinding as perception of
Tx:22.35  you are seeing what can not be real as if it were. What cannot see  beyond what is not there must be distorted perception and must
Tx:22.36  except what you associate with his body, which you believe can sin?  Beyond his errors is his holiness and your salvation. You gave him
Tx:22.41  the Christ in you but will rejoice. How beautiful the sight you saw  beyond the veil which you will bring to light the tired eyes of those
Tx:22.49  be long defended from what is quietly passed through and gone  beyond?
Tx:23.4  distractions, lay Heaven aside? Your destiny and purpose are far  beyond them in the clean place where littleness does not exist. Your
Tx:23.5  us not let littleness lead God's Son into temptation. His glory is  beyond it, measureless and timeless as eternity. Do not let time
Tx:23.13  Being fragmented, they fragment. But truth is indivisible and far  beyond their little reach. You will remember what you know when you
Tx:23.18  obscured in minds that have become illusion's battleground. Yet far  beyond this senseless war it shines, ready to be remembered when you
Tx:23.19  and to truth. Let us, then, look upon them calmly, that we may look  beyond them, understanding what they are, not what they would
Tx:23.19  govern nothing and need not be broken; merely looked upon and gone  beyond.
Tx:23.22  For the destruction of the one who makes the error places him  beyond correction and beyond forgiveness. What he has done is thus
Tx:23.22  of the one who makes the error places him beyond correction and  beyond forgiveness. What he has done is thus interpreted as an
Tx:23.25  and justified in its attack. And now is conflict made inevitable and  beyond the help of God. And now salvation must remain impossible
Tx:23.37  only the conflict of illusions stands; senseless, impossible, and  beyond all reason, and yet perceived as an eternal barrier to Heaven.
Tx:24.39  dream in which God is bereft of what He loves and you remain  beyond salvation. Only this is certain in this shifting world which
Tx:24.52  not escape its laws of violence and death. Yet it is given you to be  beyond its laws in all respects, in every way, and every
Tx:24.59  self-maintained, in need of nothing, and unjoined with anything  beyond the body. In its eyes, you are a separate universe with all
Tx:24.71  body made a theory of yourself with no provisions made for evidence  beyond itself and no escape within its sight. Its course is sure when

Tx:25.27  remains an instant to obscure the sinlessness that shines unchanged  beyond the pitiful attempts of specialness to put it out of mind
Tx:25.30  change made possible. The Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far  beyond the chance of change. But on His vision sin cannot encroach,
Tx:25.32  which the aim is seen that makes the choice of means inevitable and  beyond the hope of change unless the aim is changed. And then the
Tx:25.36  nothing after it. No other place, no other state nor time. Nothing  beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any form. This can you bring to
Tx:25.36  your willingness to bring the light of Heaven with you as you walk  beyond the world of darkness into light?
Tx:25.55  insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would look  beyond the madness and rest peacefully on truth. Each sees a world

Tx:29.57 —the strange idea there is a power past omnipotence, a place  beyond the infinite, a time transcending the eternal. Here the world
Tx:29.58  separated off from what is endless, has no place to be. An idol is  beyond where God has set all things forever and has left no room for

W1:164.1  the senseless busy world engenders, yet He hears them faintly, for  beyond them all He hears the song of Heaven and the Voice of God more
W1:164.2  easily away before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A melody from far  beyond the world increasingly is more and more distinct—an ancient
W1:164.3  the call He hears. How quiet is the time you give to spend with Him  beyond the world. How easily are all your seeming sins forgot and all
W1:164.5  the day when vain imaginings part like a curtain to reveal what lies  beyond them. Now is what is really there made visible, while all the
W1:164.6  this day is sacred to the world. Your vision, given you from far  beyond all things within the world, looks back on them in a new

W1:165.7  in His Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness lies  beyond our every doubt. His love remains beyond our every fear. The
W1:165.7  we do. His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His love remains  beyond our every fear. The thought of Him is still beyond all dreams

W1:169.1  of truth. It is the world's most lofty aspiration, for it leads  beyond the world entirely. It is past learning yet the goal of
W1:169.3 Grace is not learned. The final step must go  beyond all learning. Grace is not the goal this course aspires to
W1:169.6  present, where the past and future cannot be conceived. It lies  beyond salvation—past all thought of time, forgiveness, and the
W1:169.7 This is  beyond experience we try to hasten. Yet forgiveness, taught and
W1:169.9  Now we have work to do, for those in time can speak of things  beyond and listen to words which explain what is to come is past
W1:169.13  it offers everyone. We do not ask for the unaskable. We do not look  beyond what grace can give. For this we can give in the grace that
W1:170.10  with the appearance of a solid block, impenetrable, fearful and  beyond surmounting, is the fear of God Himself. Here is the basic
W1:170.11  the fire comes from Him. And He is terrible above all else, cruel  beyond conception, striking down all who acknowledge Him to be their
W1:R5.15  here conviction lies. We use the words, and try and try again to go  beyond them to their meaning, which is far beyond their sound. The
W1:R5.15  try and try again to go beyond them to their meaning, which is far  beyond their sound. The sound grows dim and disappears as we approach
W1:I2.3 And so we start our journey  beyond words by concentrating first on what impedes our progress
W1:I2.3  first on what impedes our progress still. Experience of what exists  beyond defensiveness remains beyond achievement while it is denied.
W1:I2.3  still. Experience of what exists beyond defensiveness remains  beyond achievement while it is denied. It may be there, but you

W1:181.1  magnified, becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self that lies  beyond your own mistakes and past his seeming sins as well as yours.
W1:181.2  you will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies  beyond.
W1:181.9  For what we seek to look upon is really there. And as our focus goes  beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly sinless world. When seeing
W1:182.8  you will stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace,  beyond all words, untouched by fear and doubt, sublimely certain that
W1:184.8  the world. Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and Heaven is  beyond your naming. When you call upon a brother, it is to his body

W1:185.14  the need of every heart, the call of every mind, the hope that lies  beyond despair, the love attack would hide, the brotherhood that hate
W1:186.5  sure that it is so. The arrogant must cling to words, afraid to go  beyond them to experience which might affront their stance. Yet are
W1:186.6  you that you have the strength, the wisdom, and the holiness to go  beyond all images. You are not weak, as is the image of yourself. You
W1:188.4  the memory to you as well. From you salvation radiates with gifts  beyond all measure, given and returned. To you, the giver of the
W1:190.5  to your mind can hurt or injure you in any way. There is no cause  beyond yourself that can reach down and bring oppression. No one but
W1:192.1  in the world in its own terms. For who can understand a language far  beyond his simple grasp?
W1:196.12  that does not go with you to help you reach that instant and to go  beyond it quickly, surely, and forever. When the fear of God is gone,
W1:199.2  mind that serves the Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways,  beyond the laws of time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and
W1:200.8  leading from this fresh perception to the gate of Heaven and the way  beyond. Peace is the answer to conflicting goals, to senseless

W1:R6.6 We will attempt to get  beyond all words and special forms of practicing for this review. For
W1:R6.10  the idea for the day, and let it take the place of what you thought.  Beyond such special applications of each day's idea, we will add but

W2:269.1  You have chosen to become the way to show me my mistakes and look  beyond them. It is given me to find a new perception through the
W2:277.2  God. He is not bound except by his beliefs. Yet what he is, is far  beyond his faith in slavery or freedom. He is free, because he is his

W2:281.2 I will not hurt myself today. For I am far  beyond all pain. My Father placed me safe in Heaven, watching over
W2:284.1  truth. I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt. And I would go  beyond these words today, go past all reservations, and arrive at
W2:299.1 My holiness is far  beyond my own ability to understand or know. Yet God my Father, Who
W2:300.2  give thanks today the world endures but for an instant. We would go  beyond that tiny instant to eternity.

Tx:8.56 Communication ends separation. Attack promotes it. The  body is beautiful or ugly, holy or savage, helpful or harmful,
Tx:8.56  or harmful, according to the use to which it is put. And in the  body of another you will see the use to which you have put yours. If

Tx:8.59  This is the only natural use to which it can be put. To use the  body unnaturally is to lose sight of the Holy Spirit's purpose and
Tx:8.61 In the world, not even the  body is perceived as whole. Its purpose is seen as fragmented into

Tx:8.62 Healing is the result of using the  body solely for communication. Since this is natural, it heals by
Tx:8.62  but it can be made manifest through the physical if it uses the  body to go beyond itself. By reaching out, the mind extends itself.
Tx:8.62  By reaching out, the mind extends itself. It does not stop at the  body, for if it does, it is blocked in its purpose. A mind which has
Tx:8.63  are the normal expressions of a mind which is working through the  body but not in it. If the mind believes the body is its goal, it
Tx:8.63  is working through the body but not in it. If the mind believes the  body is its goal, it will distort its perception of the body and, by
Tx:8.63  believes the body is its goal, it will distort its perception of the  body and, by blocking its own extension beyond it, will induce
Tx:8.63  it, will induce illness by fostering separation. Perceiving the  body as a separate entity cannot but foster illness because it is not
Tx:8.64  simultaneously with the same thing and not suffer? Perception of the  body can be unified only by one purpose. This releases the mind from
Tx:8.64  one purpose. This releases the mind from the temptation to see the  body in many lights and gives it over entirely to the One Light in
Tx:8.64  aids or the learning's real purpose. Learning must lead beyond the  body to the reestablishment of the power of the mind in it. This can
Tx:8.65  to God's joyous Teacher, and you must be learning amiss. To see a  body as anything except a means of pure extension is to limit your
Tx:8.65  Health is therefore nothing more than united purpose. If the  body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the body becomes
Tx:8.65  purpose. If the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the  body becomes whole, because the mind's purpose is one. Attack can

Tx:8.66  learning should be to escape from limitations? To conceive of the  body as a means of attack of any kind and to entertain even the
Tx:8.67  any of the results of your condemnation. When you see a brother as a  body, you are condemning him because you have condemned yourself. Yet
Tx:8.69 Attitudes toward the  body are attitudes toward attack. The ego's definitions of everything
Tx:8.69  to it. It does not equate it with what it is. To the ego, the  body is to attack with. Equating you with the body, it teaches that
Tx:8.69  it is. To the ego, the body is to attack with. Equating you with the  body, it teaches that you are to attack with, because this is what it
Tx:8.69  that you are to attack with, because this is what it believes. The  body, then, is not the source of its own health. The body's condition
Tx:8.71 The  body exists in a world which seems to contain two voices which are
Tx:8.71  fighting for its possession. In this perceived constellation, the  body is regarded as capable of shifting its control from one to the
Tx:8.71  confusion between means and ends, as it always does. Regarding the  body as an end, the ego has no real use for it because it is not an
Tx:8.72  has been particularly difficult to overcome the ego's belief in the  body as an end, because this is synonymous with the belief in attack
Tx:8.75 It is still true that the  body has no function of itself, because it is not an end. The ego,
Tx:8.75  Its sole aim is to lose sight of the function of everything. A sick  body does not make any sense. It could not make sense, because
Tx:8.75  any sense. It could not make sense, because sickness is not what the  body is for. Sickness is meaningful only if the two basic premises on
Tx:8.75  if the two basic premises on which the ego's interpretation of the  body rests are true. Specifically, these are that the body is for
Tx:8.75  of the body rests are true. Specifically, these are that the  body is for attack and that you are a body. Without these premises,
Tx:8.75  these are that the body is for attack and that you are a  body. Without these premises, sickness is completely inconceivable.
Tx:8.79 The Holy Spirit teaches you to use your  body only to reach your brothers, so He can teach His message through
Tx:8.79  it cannot be sick. Everything used otherwise is. Do not allow the  body to be a mirror of a split mind. Do not let it be an image of
Tx:8.79  Health is the result of relinquishing all attempts to use the  body lovelessly. Health is the beginning of the proper perspective on
Tx:8.80  ego tempts you to sickness, do not ask the Holy Spirit to heal the  body, for this would merely be to accept the ego's belief that the
Tx:8.80  body, for this would merely be to accept the ego's belief that the  body is the proper aim for healing. Ask rather that the Holy Spirit

Tx:13.55  value and will value it. A little piece of glass, a speck of dust, a  body or a war are one to you. For if you value one thing made of
Tx:15.72  goes or what it thinks, for this seems unimportant. As long as the  body is there to receive its sacrifice, it is content. To the ego,
Tx:15.72  it is content. To the ego, the mind is private, and only the  body can be shared. Ideas are basically of no concern, except as they
Tx:15.72  shared. Ideas are basically of no concern, except as they draw the  body of another closer or farther. And it is in these terms that it
Tx:15.75 Yet remember this—to be with a  body is not communication. And if you think it is, you will feel

Tx:15.85 As the ego would limit your perception of your brothers to the  body, so would the Holy Spirit release your vision and let you see
Tx:15.86  as wholly without gratification what you think you want. The  body is the symbol of the ego, as the ego is the symbol of the

Tx:15.87  you would share with it. For the ego would limit everyone to a  body for its purposes, and while you think it has a purpose, you will
Tx:15.88  make little and ineffectual. Limit your vision of a brother to his  body, which you will do as long as you would not release him from it,
Tx:15.88  not release him from it, and you have denied his gift to you. His  body cannot give it. And seek it not through yours. Yet your minds
Tx:15.89  Would you not exchange your little relationships for this? For the  body is little and limited, and only those whom you would see without
Tx:15.91 When the  body ceases to attract you and when you place no value on it as a
Tx:15.91  free as God's. As you let the Holy Spirit teach you how to use the  body only for purposes of communication and renounce its use for
Tx:15.91  which the ego sees in it, you will learn you have no need of a  body at all. In the holy instant there are no bodies, and you
Tx:15.105 As long as you perceive the  body as your reality, so long will you perceive yourself as lonely
Tx:15.107  of love by teaching that communication remains unbroken, even if the  body is destroyed, provided that you see not the body as the
Tx:15.107  even if the body is destroyed, provided that you see not the  body as the necessary means of communication. And if you understand
Tx:15.107  you understand this lesson, you will realize that to sacrifice the  body is to sacrifice nothing, and communication, which must be of the
Tx:16.53  two separate people on which each seeks to kill his self and on his  body raise another self which takes its power from his death. Over

Tx:16.61  The special relationship is a device for limiting your self to a  body and for limiting your perception of others to theirs. The Great

Tx:16.63  to magnify it. For you will realize that the only value which the  body has is to enable you to bring your brothers to the bridge with
Tx:17.16  why all such relationships become the attempt at union through the  body, for only bodies can be seen as means for vengeance. That bodies
Tx:17.17 In the unholy relationship, it is not the  body of the other with which union is attempted but the bodies of
Tx:17.17  is attempted but the bodies of those who are not there. Even the  body of the other, already a severely limited perception of him, is
Tx:17.19  “bliss.” How can the Holy Spirit bring His interpretation of the  body as a means of communication into relationships whose only

Tx:18.50  You have displaced your guilt to your bodies from your minds. Yet a  body cannot be guilty, for it can do nothing of itself. You who think
Tx:18.51  bodies are not. Only by assigning to the mind the properties of the  body does separation seem to be possible. And it is mind that seems
Tx:18.51  and alone. Its guilt, which keeps it separate, is projected to the  body, which suffers and dies because it is attacked, to hold the
Tx:18.51  Mind cannot attack, but it can make fantasies and direct the  body to act them out. Yet it is never what the body does that seems
Tx:18.51  and direct the body to act them out. Yet it is never what the  body does that seems to satisfy. Unless the mind believes the body is

Tx:18.52  itself. And this is all it does when it believes it has attacked the  body. It can project its guilt, but it will not lose it through
Tx:18.52  And though it clearly can misperceive the function of the  body, it cannot change its function from what the Holy Spirit
Tx:18.52  its function from what the Holy Spirit establishes it to be. The  body was not made by love. Yet love does not condemn it and can use

Tx:18.54 It is insane to use the  body as the scapegoat for guilt, directing its attack and blaming it
Tx:18.54  the fantasies you want, and they have nothing to do with what the  body does. It does not dream of them, and they but make it a
Tx:18.54  a liability where it could be an asset. For fantasies have made your  body your “enemy,” weak, vulnerable, and treacherous, worthy of the

Tx:18.57 The  body is outside you, and but seems to surround you, shutting you off
Tx:18.58  to Heaven. You whose hands are joined have begun to reach beyond the  body, but not outside yourselves, to reach your shared Identity
Tx:18.58  together. Could this be outside you? Where God is not? Is He a  body, and did He create you as He is not and where He cannot be? You
Tx:18.59  entails, you will realize that it is a sudden unawareness of the  body and a joining of yourself and something else in which your mind
Tx:18.59  but merely accepting it. You have accepted this instead of the  body and have let yourself be one with something beyond it simply by
Tx:18.60  it, letting your limits melt away, suspending all the “laws” your  body obeys and gently setting them aside.
Tx:18.61 There is no violence at all in this escape. The  body is not attacked, but simply properly perceived. It does not

Tx:18.63 You still have too much faith in the  body as a source of strength. What plans do you make that do not
Tx:18.64  have never done—not for one instant have you utterly forgotten the  body. It has faded at times from your sight, but it has not yet
Tx:18.64  that the miracle of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will see the  body again, but never quite the same. And every instant that you
Tx:18.65 At no single instant does the  body exist at all. It is always remembered or anticipated, but never
Tx:18.66  and long periods of meditation aimed at detachment from the  body necessary. All such attempts will ultimately succeed because of
Tx:18.69 To do anything involves the  body. And if you recognize you need do nothing, you have withdrawn
Tx:18.69  is to rest and make a place within you where the activity of the  body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the Holy Spirit
Tx:18.70  are sent. For from this center will you be directed how to use the  body sinlessly. It is this center, from which the body is absent,
Tx:18.70  how to use the body sinlessly. It is this center, from which the  body is absent, that will keep it so in your awareness of it.
Tx:18.71 It is only the awareness of the  body that makes love seem limited. For the body is a limit on love.
Tx:18.71  only the awareness of the body that makes love seem limited. For the  body is a limit on love. The belief in limited love was its origin,
Tx:18.71  for it was made to limit you. Can you who see yourselves within a  body know yourself as an idea? Everything you recognize you identify
Tx:18.71  something outside itself. You cannot even think of God without a  body or some form you think you recognize.
Tx:18.72 The  body cannot know. And while you limit your awareness to its tiny
Tx:18.72  not see the grandeur which surrounds you. God cannot come into a  body, nor can you join Him there. Limits on love will always seem to
Tx:18.72  will always seem to shut Him out and to keep you apart from Him. The  body is a tiny fence around a little part of a glorious and complete
Tx:18.75  in which those in a world inhabited by bodies seem to be. Each  body seems to house a separate mind, a disconnected thought living
Tx:18.81  answer is inevitable. It will come because you came without the  body and interposed no barriers which would interfere with its glad
Tx:18.87  no messages which speak of what lies underneath, for it is not the  body that could speak of this. Its eyes perceive it not; its senses
Tx:18.88 The circle of fear lies just below the level the  body sees and seems to be the whole foundation on which the world is
Tx:18.88  coverings and kept apart from what was made to keep it hidden. The  body cannot see this, for the body arose from this for its
Tx:18.88  what was made to keep it hidden. The body cannot see this, for the  body arose from this for its protection, which must always depend on
Tx:18.89 The  body will remain guilt's messenger and will act as it directs as long
Tx:19.2  purpose real because you make it whole. And this is healing. The  body is healed because you came without it and joined the mind in
Tx:19.3 The  body cannot heal because it cannot make itself sick. It needs no
Tx:19.3  as separated from the Universal Purpose. When this occurs, the  body becomes its weapon used against this Purpose to demonstrate the
Tx:19.3  Purpose to demonstrate the “fact” that separation has occurred. The  body thus becomes the instrument of illusion, acting accordingly;
Tx:19.4  to illusions. For faithlessness is the perception of a brother as a  body, and the body cannot be used for purposes of union. If, then,
Tx:19.4  For faithlessness is the perception of a brother as a body, and the  body cannot be used for purposes of union. If, then, you see your
Tx:19.4  be used for purposes of union. If, then, you see your brother as a  body, you have established a condition in which uniting with him
Tx:19.4  the Holy Spirit's purpose and brought illusions centered on the  body to stand between you. And the body will seem to be sick, for you
Tx:19.4  brought illusions centered on the body to stand between you. And the  body will seem to be sick, for you have made of it an “enemy” of
Tx:19.6  forever impossible to attain, for part of it is sought through the  body, thought of as a means for seeking out reality through attack,
Tx:19.6  other part would heal and therefore calls upon the mind and not the  body. The inevitable compromise is the belief that the body must be
Tx:19.6  and not the body. The inevitable compromise is the belief that the  body must be healed, and not the mind. For this divided goal has
Tx:19.6  reality, which could be possible only if the mind is limited to the  body and divided into little parts of seeming wholeness but without
Tx:19.6  of seeming wholeness but without connection. This will not harm the  body, but it will keep the delusional thought system in the mind.
Tx:19.8  never separate from its source. The idea of separation produced the  body and remains connected to it, making it sick because of its
Tx:19.8  of its identification with it. You think you are protecting the  body by hiding this connection, for this concealment seems to keep
Tx:19.13  Who joined you and in Whom you are united. Grace is not given to a  body, but to a mind. And the mind that receives it looks instantly
Tx:19.13  to a mind. And the mind that receives it looks instantly beyond the  body and sees the holy place where it was healed. There is the altar
Tx:19.16  nothing, being lord of all along with his Creator. You can enslave a  body, but an idea is free, incapable of being kept in prison or
Tx:19.30  which could change perception is thus kept impotent, held to the  body by the fear of changed perception which its teacher, who is one
Tx:19.32 While you believe that your reality or your brother's is bounded by a  body, you will believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can
Tx:19.57 Yet would I offer you my  body, you whom I love, knowing its littleness? Or would I teach that
Tx:19.57  does not atone for sin. Yet you can live to show it is not real. The  body does appear to be the symbol of sin while you believe that it
Tx:19.58  of completion which goes beyond guilt because it goes beyond the  body.
Tx:19.59  across, and closely related to the first, is the belief that the  body is valuable for what it offers. For here is the attraction of
Tx:19.59  it offers. For here is the attraction of guilt made manifest in the  body and seen in it.
Tx:19.61 Is it a sacrifice or a release? What has the  body really given you that justifies your strange belief that in it
Tx:19.61  love is fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far beyond the  body, calling the mind to join in holy communion and be at peace.
Tx:19.62 It is only the messengers of fear that see the  body, for they look for what can suffer. Is it a sacrifice to be
Tx:19.69  only with what already is at peace in you, immortal as itself. The  body can bring you neither peace nor turmoil; neither pain nor joy.
Tx:19.69  end. It has no purpose of itself, but only what is given to it. The  body will seem to be whatever is the means for reaching the goal that
Tx:19.70  with it, and what you think you are can never be apart from it. The  body is the great seeming betrayer of faith. In it lies
Tx:19.71 It is impossible to seek for pleasure through the  body and not find pain. It is essential that this relationship be
Tx:19.71  all. It is but the inevitable result of equating yourself with the  body, which is the invitation to pain. For it invites fear to enter
Tx:19.71  of guilt must enter with it, and whatever fear directs the  body to do is therefore painful. It will share the pain of all
Tx:19.72 Is not this inevitable? Under fear's orders, the  body will pursue guilt, serving its master whose attraction to guilt
Tx:19.72  This, then, is the attraction of pain. Ruled by this perception, the  body becomes the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying
Tx:19.72  is this idea that underlies all of the ego's heavy investment in the  body. And it is this insane relationship which it keeps hidden and
Tx:19.73 Why should the  body be anything to you? Certainly what it is made of is not
Tx:19.73  you the feelings that you want. Like any communication medium, the  body receives and sends the messages that it is given. It has no
Tx:19.74  and free yourself. And to convince you this is possible, it bids the  body search for pain in attack upon another, calling it pleasure and
Tx:19.75  the impossible is true. Forget not that the ego has dedicated the  body to the goal of sin and places in it all its faith that this can
Tx:19.75  of guilt is the escape from pain. Not one but must regard the  body as himself, without which he would die, and yet within which is
Tx:19.81 And what is the black-draped  body they would bury? A body which they dedicated to death, a symbol
Tx:19.81 And what is the black-draped body they would bury? A  body which they dedicated to death, a symbol of corruption, a
Tx:19.81  dedication to death. The glitter of guilt you laid upon the  body would kill it. For what the ego loves, it kills for its
Tx:19.82 You have another dedication which would keep the  body incorruptible and perfect as long as it is useful for your holy
Tx:19.82  and perfect as long as it is useful for your holy purpose. The  body no more dies than it can feel. It does nothing. Of itself, it is
Tx:19.83  the one which seems to be the hardest can be accomplished first? The  body can but serve your purpose. As you look upon it, so will it seem
Tx:19.85  grim commandments nor twisted rituals of condemnation to which the  body leads you. Ask not release of it. But free it from the merciless
Tx:19.88  of fear, when any situation strikes you with terror and makes your  body tremble and the cold sweat of fear comes over it, remember it is
Tx:19.94  of the quiet recognition that you love Him. The exaltation of the  body is given up in favor of the Spirit, which you love as you could
Tx:19.94  in favor of the Spirit, which you love as you could never love the  body. And the appeal of death is lost forever as love's attraction
Tx:20.5 Look upon all the trinkets made to hang upon the  body or to cover it or for its use. See all the useless things made
Tx:20.8  If it be thorns whose points gleam sharply in a blood-red light, the  body is your chosen home, and it is separation that you offer me. And
Tx:20.41 Your brother's  body is as little use to you as it is to him. When it is used only as
Tx:20.41  the Holy Spirit teaches, it has no function, for minds need not the  body to communicate. The sight that sees the body has no use which
Tx:20.41  for minds need not the body to communicate. The sight that sees the  body has no use which serves the purpose of a holy relationship. And
Tx:20.43  to pain and death must be forgotten. This is no gift your brother's  body offers you. The veil that hides the gift hides him as well. He
Tx:20.46  first is based on love and rests on it, serene and undisturbed. The  body does not intrude upon it. Any relationship in which the body
Tx:20.46  The body does not intrude upon it. Any relationship in which the  body enters is based not on love, but on idolatry. Love wishes to be
Tx:20.48  from the sun. It does not seek for power, but for relationships. The  body is the ego's chosen weapon for seeking power through
Tx:20.49 The Holy Spirit's temple is not a  body, but a relationship. The body is an isolated speck of darkness;
Tx:20.49 The Holy Spirit's temple is not a body, but a relationship. The  body is an isolated speck of darkness; a hidden secret room, a tiny

Tx:20.51  safe in your relationship and not your bodies. You have escaped the  body. Where you are the body cannot enter, for the Holy Spirit has

Tx:20.53  instant which offers you peace and understanding? Then lay aside the  body and quietly transcend it, rising to welcome what you really
Tx:20.54  held gently open, through which you walk together, leaving the  body thankfully behind and resting in the Everlasting Arms. Love's
Tx:20.55 The  body is the ego's idol; the belief in sin made flesh and then
Tx:20.56  is given him to choose to spend this instant paying tribute to the  body or let himself be given freedom from it. Here he can accept the
Tx:20.57  that to those who have been given one true relationship beyond the  body? Can they be long held back from looking on the face of Christ?

Tx:20.61  see a sinless body is impossible, for holiness is positive, and the  body is merely neutral. It is not sinful, but neither is it sinless.
Tx:20.61  not sinful, but neither is it sinless. As nothing, which it is, the  body cannot meaningfully be invested with attributes of Christ or of
Tx:20.62 The  body is the means by which the ego tries to make the unholy
Tx:20.62  be attained but in illusion, and so the illusion of a brother as a  body is quite in keeping with the purpose of unholiness. Because of
Tx:20.62  to wish, for sight is always secondary to desire. And if you see the  body, you have chosen judgment and not vision. For vision, like
Tx:20.63 Who sees a brother's  body has laid a judgment on him and sees him not. He does not really
Tx:20.63  it. And here in darkness is your brother's reality imagined as a  body, in unholy relationships with other bodies, serving the cause of
Tx:20.65 The  body cannot be looked upon except through judgment. To see the body
Tx:20.65 The body cannot be looked upon except through judgment. To see the  body is the sign that you lack vision and have denied the means the
Tx:20.65  from Him Who would undo your teaching. His vision cannot see the  body because it cannot look on sin. And thus it leads you to reality.
Tx:20.66 Your question should not be, “How can I see my brother without the  body?” Ask only, “Do I really wish to see him sinless?” And as you
Tx:20.69  your vision and give you joy. And place no value on your brother's  body, which holds him to illusions of what he is. It is his desire to
Tx:20.70  to be given. You have the vision which enables each one to see the  body not. And as you look upon each other, you will see an altar to
Tx:20.70  upon it. What can you value more than this? Why do you think the  body is a better home, a safer shelter for God's Son? Why would you
Tx:20.71 The  body is the sign of weakness, vulnerability, and loss of power. Can

Tx:21.7  again. And they adjust to loneliness, believing that to keep the  body is to save the little that they have. Listen and try to think if
Tx:21.10 Beyond the  body, beyond the sun and stars, past everything you see and yet
Tx:21.11  joined in you. Accept the vision which can show you this and not the  body. You know the ancient song and know it well. Nothing will ever
Tx:21.35  you think is sin is limitation, and whom you try to limit to the  body you hate because you fear. In your refusal to forgive him, you
Tx:21.35  fear. In your refusal to forgive him, you would condemn him to the  body because the means for sin are dear to you. And so the body has
Tx:21.35  to the body because the means for sin are dear to you. And so the  body has your faith and your belief. But holiness would set your
Tx:21.36 Those who would free their brothers from the  body can have no fear. They have renounced the means for sin by
Tx:21.36  in holiness, the power of belief and faith goes far beyond the  body, supporting vision, not obstructing it. But first they chose to
Tx:21.38  you cannot see because of it. For sacrifice must be exacted of a  body and by another body. The mind could neither ask it nor receive
Tx:21.38  of it. For sacrifice must be exacted of a body and by another  body. The mind could neither ask it nor receive it of itself. And no
Tx:21.38  could neither ask it nor receive it of itself. And no more could the  body. The intention is in the mind, which tries to use the body to
Tx:21.38  could the body. The intention is in the mind, which tries to use the  body to carry out the means for sin in which the mind believes. Thus
Tx:21.38  for sin in which the mind believes. Thus is the joining of mind and  body an inescapable belief of those who value sin. And so is
Tx:21.40 The  body was made to be a sacrifice to sin, and in the darkness so it
Tx:21.40  beyond. You gave perception and belief and faith from mind to  body. Let them now be given back to what produced them and can use
Tx:21.51  as natural. They are as simple and natural to It as breathing to the  body. They are the obvious response to calls for help, the only one
Tx:21.61  could this be. Nor could one mind think only for itself unless the  body were the mind. For only bodies can be separate and therefore
Tx:21.62  But the insane know not their will. For they believe they see the  body and let their madness tell them it is real. Reason would be
Tx:21.62  real. Reason would be incapable of this. And if you would defend the  body against your reason, you will not understand the body or
Tx:21.62  defend the body against your reason, you will not understand the  body or yourself.
Tx:21.63 The  body does not separate you from your brother, and if you think it
Tx:21.63  believes it also has the means to make its purpose real. To see the  body as a barrier between what reason tells you must be joined must
Tx:22.3  no difference between these selves, for differences are only of the  body. Therefore, he looks on nothing he would take. He denies not his
Tx:22.4  It must reach out beyond itself, as you reached out beyond the  body to let yourselves be joined. And now the sameness which you saw
Tx:22.6  vision sees. This you would understand. The brain interprets to the  body, of which it is a part. But what it says, you cannot understand.
Tx:22.8  be. This is the emotion of secrecy, of private thoughts, and of the  body. This is the one emotion that opposes love and always leads to
Tx:22.13  you that they must have seen each other through a vision not of the  body and communicated in a language the body does not speak. Nor
Tx:22.13  through a vision not of the body and communicated in a language the  body does not speak. Nor could it be a fearful sight or sound that
Tx:22.36  brother not be blocked by your perception of his sins and of his  body. What is there in him that you would attack except what you
Tx:22.36  in him that you would attack except what you associate with his  body, which you believe can sin? Beyond his errors is his holiness
Tx:22.49  foundation. Yes, to the body's eyes it looks like an enormous solid  body, immovable as is a mountain. Yet within you there is a Force
Tx:22.49  Yet within you there is a Force which no illusions can resist. This  body only seems to be immovable; this Force is irresistible in truth.
Tx:22.51 Do you want freedom of the  body or of the mind? For both you cannot have. Which do you value?
Tx:22.51  it is and can be found. He will believe it possible of mind or  body, and he will make the other serve his choice as means to find it.
Tx:22.52 Where freedom of the  body has been chosen, the mind is used as means whose value lies in
Tx:22.52  to contrive ways to achieve the body's freedom. Yet freedom of the  body has no meaning, and so the mind is dedicated to serve illusions.
Tx:22.53  is the only service which leads to freedom. To serve this end, the  body must be perceived as sinless because the goal is sinlessness.
Tx:23.9  on grounds that have no meaning. For your beliefs converge upon the  body, the ego's chosen home, which you believe is yours. You meet at
Tx:23.11  It is forgotten in the body's life, and if you think you are a  body, you will believe you have forgotten it. Yet truth can never be
Tx:23.29  enemy and hidden where you would not think to look. He hid it in his  body, making it the cover for his guilt, the hiding place for what
Tx:23.29  his guilt, the hiding place for what belongs to you. Now must his  body be destroyed and sacrificed that you may have that which belongs
Tx:23.30  Behold, unveiled, the ego's secret gift, torn from your brother's  body, hidden there in malice and in hatred for the one to whom the
Tx:23.46  of protection stands against the faith in murder. Here stands the  body, torn between the natural desire to communicate and the
Tx:23.48  from one another. So will they be to those who see God's Son a  body. For it is not the body that is like the Son's Creator. And what
Tx:23.48  So will they be to those who see God's Son a body. For it is not the  body that is like the Son's Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be
Tx:23.48  Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be the Son of Life. How can a  body be extended to hold the universe? Can it create and be what it
Tx:23.49 God does not share His function with a  body. He gave the function to create unto His Son because it is His
Tx:23.53  unifies, and those who share a purpose have a mind as one. The  body has no purpose and must be solitary. From below, it cannot be
Tx:23.53  it exerts on those in battle still are gone and not perceived. The  body stands between the Father and the Heaven He created for His Son
Tx:23.55  perfection? For everything fought for on the battleground is of the  body—something it seems to offer or to own. No one who knows that
Tx:24.7  you are and what your brother is. And here is what must make the  body dear and worth preserving. Specialness must be defended.
Tx:24.24 The hope of specialness makes it seem possible God made the  body as the prison-house which keeps His Son from Him. For it demands
Tx:24.35 What could the purpose of the  body be but specialness? And it is this that makes it frail and
Tx:24.35  cannot change. But what they hold as purpose can be changed, and  body states must shift accordingly. Of itself the body can do
Tx:24.35  be changed, and body states must shift accordingly. Of itself the  body can do nothing. See it as means to hurt, and it is hurt. See it
Tx:24.54  hold the vision you were meant to see from you. Your brother's  body shows not Christ to you. He is set forth within his holiness.
Tx:24.55 Choose, then, his  body or his holiness as what you want to see, and which you choose is
Tx:24.55  denial of Christ in him. And where is your salvation if he is but a  body? Where is your peace but in his holiness? And where is God
Tx:24.56  Christ in you beholds his holiness. Your specialness looks on his  body and beholds him not.
Tx:24.59  in need of nothing, and unjoined with anything beyond the  body. In its eyes, you are a separate universe with all the power to
Tx:24.61 You who believe it easier to see your brother's  body than his holiness, be sure you understand what made this
Tx:24.65 Ask yourself this: can you protect the mind? The  body, yes, a little—not from time, but temporarily. And much you
Tx:24.70 Look at yourself, and you will see a  body. Look at this body in a different light, and it looks different.
Tx:24.70 Look at yourself, and you will see a body. Look at this  body in a different light, and it looks different. And without a
Tx:24.71 Thus is the  body made a theory of yourself with no provisions made for evidence
Tx:24.71  Him joy and witness to His love and shared His purpose, so does the  body testify to the idea that made it and speak for its reality and
Tx:25.1 The Christ in you inhabits not a  body. Yet He is in you. And thus it must be that you are not within a
Tx:25.1  Yet He is in you. And thus it must be that you are not within a  body. What is within you cannot be outside. And it is certain that
Tx:25.2  holiness, as plain to see as is his specialness set forth within his  body.
Tx:25.3 The  body needs no healing. But the mind that thinks it is a body is sick
Tx:25.3 The body needs no healing. But the mind that thinks it is a  body is sick indeed! And it is here that Christ sets forth the
Tx:25.3  it is here that Christ sets forth the remedy. His purpose folds the  body in His light and fills it with the holiness that shines from
Tx:25.3  it with the holiness that shines from Him. And nothing that the  body says or does but makes Him manifest. To those who know Him not,
Tx:25.4  it is He Who does it. And in the doing of it will you learn the  body merely seems to be the means to do it. For the mind is His. And
Tx:25.4  the mind is His. And so it must be yours. His holiness directs the  body through the mind at one with Him. And you are manifest unto your
Tx:25.5  Perception tells you, you are manifest in what you see. Behold the  body, and you will believe that you are there. And every body that
Tx:25.5  Behold the body, and you will believe that you are there. And every  body that you look upon reminds you of yourself—your sinfulness,
Tx:25.5  are one. And you must see your brother as yourself. Framed in his  body, you will see your sinfulness wherein you stand condemned. Set
Tx:25.7  all that it looks upon unto itself. Its radiance shines through each  body that it looks upon and brushes all its darkness into light
Tx:25.16  if a masterpiece were there to see? Yet if you see your brother as a  body, it is but this you do. The masterpiece that God has set within
Tx:25.16  that God has set within this frame is all there is to see. The  body holds it for a while without obscuring it in any way. Yet what
Tx:25.27  of specialness to put it out of mind where it must be and light the  body up instead of it. The lamps of Heaven are not for it to choose
Tx:26.1  of the central theme that somebody must lose. Its focus on the  body is apparent, for it is always an attempt to limit loss. The body
Tx:26.1  the body is apparent, for it is always an attempt to limit loss. The  body is itself a sacrifice—a giving up of power in the name of
Tx:26.1  of saving just a little for yourself. To see a brother in another  body separate from yours is the expression of a wish to see a little
Tx:26.3 The little that the  body fences off becomes the self, preserved through sacrifice of all
Tx:26.3  For giving and receiving are the same. And to accept the limits of a  body is to impose these limits on each brother whom you see. For you
Tx:26.4 The  body is a loss and can be made to sacrifice. And while you see your
Tx:26.4  and can be made to sacrifice. And while you see your brother as a  body, apart from you and separate in his cell, you are demanding
Tx:26.7  God willed not they be. In Heaven God's Son is not imprisoned in a  body nor is sacrificed in solitude to sin.
Tx:26.54  to him. This separating off is symbolized in your perception by a  body which is clearly separate and a thing apart. Yet what this
Tx:26.70  time is not the enemy that you perceive. Time is as neutral as the  body is except in terms of what you see it for. If you would keep a
Tx:27.5  Holy Spirit lays a picture of a different you. It is a picture of a  body still, for what you really are cannot be seen nor pictured. Yet
Tx:27.7  tongues. And yet to both the message is the same. Adornment of the  body seeks to show how lovely are the witnesses for guilt. Concerns
Tx:27.7  to show how lovely are the witnesses for guilt. Concerns about the  body demonstrate how frail and vulnerable is your life, how easily
Tx:27.9  cherish little pleasures where you can. Yet in this picture is the  body not perceived as neutral and without a goal inherent in itself.
Tx:27.10  function is can never be! The Holy Spirit's picture changes not the  body into something it is not. It only takes away from it all signs
Tx:27.11  its peace can come and perfect healing take the place of death. The  body can become a sign of life, a promise of redemption, and a breath
Tx:27.12 The simple way to let this be achieved is merely this—to let the  body have no purpose from the past, when you were sure you knew its
Tx:27.13  and will attack again. Protect him not, because your damaged  body shows that you must be protected from him. To forgive may be an
Tx:27.16  forgiving, offering salvation to your brother and yourself. A broken  body shows the mind has not been healed. A miracle of healing proves
Tx:27.17 Your  body can be means to teach that it has never suffered pain because of
Tx:27.39  one which you should choose. The others are not true. What can the  body get that you would want the most of all? It is your servant and
Tx:27.54 Pain demonstrates the  body must be real. It is a loud, obscuring voice whose shrieks would
Tx:27.54  purpose is the same as pleasure, for they both are means to make the  body real. What shares a common purpose is the same. This is the law
Tx:27.55  is the same and carries but one message: “You are here within this  body, and you can be hurt. You can have pleasure, too, but only at
Tx:27.56 This  body, purposeless within itself, holds all your memories and all your
Tx:27.57 God's Witness sees no witnesses against the  body. Neither does He harken to the witnesses by other names which
Tx:27.57  Him Who knows no death. Each miracle He brings is witness that the  body is not real. Its pains and pleasures does He heal alike, for all
Tx:27.77 The  body is the central figure in the dreaming of the world. There is no
Tx:27.77  of how it was made by other bodies, born into the world outside the  body, lives a little while and dies, to be united in the dust with
Tx:27.78 The dreaming of the world takes many forms, because the  body seeks in many ways to prove it is autonomous and real. It puts
Tx:27.80  out of places and events which it contrives. That this is all the  body does is true, for it is but a figure in a dream. But who reacts
Tx:27.81  No one believes there really was a time when he knew nothing of a  body and could never have conceived this world as real. He would have
Tx:27.83  can attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy; a mind within a  body, all are forms of circularity whose ending starts at its
Tx:27.83  its vengeance, not your own. It keeps you narrowly confined within a  body, which it punishes because of all the sinful things the body
Tx:27.83  a body, which it punishes because of all the sinful things the  body does within its dream. You have no power to make the body stop
Tx:27.83  things the body does within its dream. You have no power to make the  body stop its evil deeds because you did not make it and cannot
Tx:28.5  does not write the message nor appoint what it is for. Like to the  body, it is purposeless within itself. And if it seems to serve to
Tx:28.17  without a barrier or limitation. Thus is purity not of the  body. Nor can it be found where limitation is. The body can be healed
Tx:28.17  purity not of the body. Nor can it be found where limitation is. The  body can be healed by its effects, which are as limitless as is
Tx:28.17  healing come about because the mind is recognized as not within the  body, and its innocence is quite apart from it and where all healing
Tx:28.18  causelessness is given no effects and none are seen. A mind within a  body and a world of other bodies, each with separate minds, are your
Tx:28.20 In dreams of murder and attack are you the victim in a dying  body slain. But in forgiving dreams is no one asked to be the victim
Tx:28.23  hated his Creator, so the figures in the dream have hated him. His  body is their slave which they abuse because the motives he has given
Tx:28.23  for the vengeance it would offer them. It is their vengeance on the  body which appears to prove the dreamer could not be the maker of the
Tx:28.26  effects. And where effects are gone, there is no cause. Thus is the  body healed by miracles because they show the mind made sickness and
Tx:28.26  miracles because they show the mind made sickness and employed the  body to be victim or effect of what it made. Yet half the lesson will
Tx:28.26  teach the whole. The miracle is useless if you learn but that the  body can be healed, for this is not the lesson it was sent to teach.
Tx:28.26  was sent to teach. The lesson is the mind was sick that thought the  body could be sick; projecting out its guilt caused nothing and had
Tx:28.27  effects of taking back the consequence of sickness to its cause. The  body is released because the mind acknowledges “this is not done to
Tx:28.29  it perceive itself as separate and apart from you. Thus is the  body not perceived as sick by both your minds, from separate points
Tx:28.31  cause that sickness has. For it was made to keep you separated in a  body which you see as if it were the cause of pain.
Tx:28.32 The cause of pain is separation, not the  body, which is only its effect. Yet separation is but empty space,
Tx:28.39  is to you. He is not brother made by what he dreams, nor is his  body, “hero” of the dream, your brother. It is his reality that is
Tx:28.39  as is yours to him. Your mind and his are joined in brotherhood. His  body and his dreams but seem to make a little gap, where yours have
Tx:28.50  voices which its ears were made to hear. Yet sights and sounds the  body can perceive are meaningless. It cannot see nor hear. It does
Tx:28.54 Who punishes the  body is insane. For here the little gap is seen, and yet it is not
Tx:28.56 The thing you hate and fear and loathe and want, the  body does not know. You send it forth to seek for separation and to
Tx:28.57 The  body represents the gap between the little bit of mind you call your
Tx:28.58 Sickness is anger taken out upon the  body, so that it will suffer pain. It is the obvious effect of what
Tx:28.62  his home upon a straw and count on it as shelter from the wind? The  body can be made a home like this because it lacks foundation in the
Tx:28.63 With this as purpose is the  body healed. It is not used to witness to the dream of separation and
Tx:28.66  between the safety of this shelter and its Source? From here the  body can be seen as what it is and neither less nor more in worth
Tx:29.4  of separation, which protect you from the “sacrifice” of love. The  body saves you, for it gets away from total sacrifice and gives you
Tx:29.5 The  body could not separate your minds unless you wanted it to be a cause
Tx:29.6 The  body will accommodate to this if you would have it so. It will allow
Tx:29.8 The  body, innocent of any goal, is your excuse for variable goals you
Tx:29.8  any goal, is your excuse for variable goals you hold and force the  body to maintain. You do not fear its weakness, but its lack of
Tx:29.8  no more. There is a wariness that is aroused by learning that the  body is not real. And there are overtones of seeming fear around the
Tx:29.9  serve to hold you back an instant from His love? Would you allow the  body to say “no” to Heaven's calling, were you not afraid to find a
Tx:29.16 The  body does not change. It represents the larger dream that change is
Tx:29.16  things. And they reflect the teacher who is teaching them. The  body can appear to change with time, with sickness or with health,
Tx:29.16  the mind remains unchanged in its belief of what the purpose of the  body is.
Tx:29.17 Sickness is a demand the  body be a thing that it is not. Its nothingness is guarantee that it
Tx:29.18 The  body that is asked to be a god will be attacked because its
Tx:29.19 As “something” is the  body asked to be God's enemy, replacing what He is with littleness
Tx:29.19  limit and despair. It is His loss you celebrate when you behold the  body as a thing you love, or look upon it as a thing you hate. For if
Tx:29.20 Condemn your savior not because he thinks he is a  body. For beyond his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a
Tx:29.21  he made, that he be free of it. He must see someone else as not a  body, one with him, without the wall the world has built to keep
Tx:29.22  within the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his  body is. Before this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must
Tx:29.22  see that God Himself is where his body is. Before this light the  body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way to light. The
Tx:29.28  some function which you have assigned, some goal which an event, or  body, or a thing should represent and should achieve for you. If it
Tx:29.42 This world will bind your feet and tie your hands and kill your  body only if you think that it was made to crucify God's Son. For
Tx:29.44  all the rest of it is not. This is the purpose he bestows upon the  body—that it seek for what he lacks and give him what would make
Tx:29.52  And it is this which never is perceived and recognized. Be it a  body or a thing, a place, a situation or a circumstance, an object
Tx:31.28  but actions. Bodies act, and minds do not. And therefore must the  body be at fault for what it does. It is not seen to be a passive
Tx:31.28  and doing nothing of itself at all. If you are sin you are a  body, for the mind acts not. And purpose must be in the body, not the
Tx:31.28  you are a body, for the mind acts not. And purpose must be in the  body, not the mind. The body must act on its own and motivate itself.
Tx:31.28  mind acts not. And purpose must be in the body, not the mind. The  body must act on its own and motivate itself. If you are sin, you
Tx:31.28  and motivate itself. If you are sin, you lock the mind within the  body, and you give its purpose to its prison-house, which acts
Tx:31.29 Yet is the  body prisoner and not the mind. The body thinks no thoughts. It has
Tx:31.29 Yet is the body prisoner and not the mind. The  body thinks no thoughts. It has no power to learn, to pardon, nor
Tx:31.29  sick within itself. Learning is all that causes change. And so the  body, where no learning can occur, could never change unless the mind
Tx:31.29  learning can occur, could never change unless the mind preferred the  body change in its appearances to suit the purpose given by the mind.
Tx:31.30 The mind that thinks it is a sin has but one purpose—that the  body be the source of sin and keep it in the prison-house it chose
Tx:31.31  and that it has been given you to change what you believe. The  body will but follow. It can never lead you where you would not be.
Tx:31.31  not guard your sleep nor interfere with your awakening. Release your  body from imprisonment, and you will see no one as prisoner to what
Tx:31.62  in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape the  body as your own reality, for you have chosen that you want it so.
Tx:31.63 Salvation is undoing. If you choose to see the  body, you behold a world of separation, unrelated things, and
Tx:31.64 Salvation does not ask that you behold the Spirit and perceive the  body not. It merely asks that this should be your choice. For you can
Tx:31.64  It merely asks that this should be your choice. For you can see the  body without help but do not understand how to behold a world apart
Tx:31.66  and so it looks on you with eyes that see as yours. Are you a  body? So is all the world perceived as treacherous and out to kill.
Tx:31.70 In terms of concepts, it is thus you see him more than just a  body, for the good is never what the body seems to be. The actions of
Tx:31.70  you see him more than just a body, for the good is never what the  body seems to be. The actions of the body are perceived as coming
Tx:31.70  for the good is never what the body seems to be. The actions of the  body are perceived as coming from the “baser” part of you and thus of
Tx:31.70  you and thus of him as well. By focusing upon the good in him, the  body grows decreasingly persistent in your sight and will at length
Tx:31.76  by love. Yet while you hold this sword, you must perceive the  body as yourself, for you are bound to separation from the sight of
Tx:31.83  wherever it occurs. It would persuade the holy Son of God he is a  body, born in what must die, unable to escape its frailty and bound

Tx:22.31  who looks on it without the help of reason would try to pass it. The  body's eyes behold it as solid granite, so thick it would be madness

Tx:22.52  whose value lies in its ability to contrive ways to achieve the  body's freedom. Yet freedom of the body has no meaning, and so the

Tx:25.12 Is it not evident that what the  body's eyes perceive fills you with fear? Perhaps you think you find

Tx:29.19  and it is this that makes him savior unto you, and only this. His  body's nothingness releases yours from sickness and from death. For
Tx:29.46 Whenever you attempt to reach a goal in which the  body's betterment is cast as major beneficiary, you try to bring
W1:15.1  how your “seeing” was made. This is the function you have given your  body's eyes. It is not seeing. It is image-making. It takes the place
W1:30.4  only unlimited by space and distance, but it does not depend on the  body's eyes at all. The mind is its only source.
W1:59.4  apart from Him. It is these I choose when I try to see through the  body's eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been given me to replace
W1:64.1  and His Son, taking on a physical appearance. It is this which the  body's eyes look upon.
W1:64.2 Nothing the  body's eyes seem to see can be anything but a form of temptation,
W1:72.6 The  body's apparent reality makes this view of God quite convincing. In

W1:92.2  magical beliefs that come from the conviction you are a body and the  body's eyes can see. You also believe the body's brain can think. If
W1:92.2  you are a body and the body's eyes can see. You also believe the  body's brain can think. If you but understood the nature of thought,
W1:92.2  until you let it go. Yet this is no more foolish than to believe the  body's eyes can see, the brain can think.
W1:92.3  denies your weakness. It is your weakness that sees through the  body's eyes, peering about in darkness to behold the likeness of
W1:92.9  and guide your seeing, so you do not dwell on idle shadows that the  body's eyes provide for self-deception. Strength and light unite in
W1:92.10  while today, and we will practice seeing in the light, closing the  body's eyes and asking truth to show us how to find the meeting place
W1:96.6  separate, attacked by armies massed against itself and hiding in the  body's frail support. Now must it reconcile unlike with like, for
W1:108.2 True light which makes true vision possible is not the light the  body's eyes behold. It is a state of mind which has become so unified
W1:124.11  a joy too deep for you to comprehend, a sight too holy for the  body's eyes to see, and yet you can be sure someday, perhaps today,

W1:135.11  when they have been corrected and replaced with truth. This is the  body's only real defense. Yet is this where you look for its defense?
W1:136.20  has will always be enough to serve all truly useful purposes. The  body's health is fully guaranteed because it is not limited by time,
W1:151.2  you see. You do not really question what is shown you through the  body's eyes. Nor do you ask why you believe it, even though you
W1:151.7  should be judged by what your eyes behold in him, nor what his  body's mouth says to your ears, nor what your fingers' touch reports
W1:151.8  at guilt, unwilling now to play with toys of sin, unheeding of the  body's witnesses before the rapture of His holy face.
W1:161.9 This do the  body's eyes behold in one whom Heaven cherishes, the angels love, and
W1:161.11  have succeeded, you will not be willing to accept the witnesses your  body's eyes call forth. What you will see will sing to you of ancient

M:18.3  as this insane belief is taken as replacement for God's Word. The  body's eyes now “see”; its ears alone are thought to hear. Its little

Tx:22.4  is the golden circle where you recognize the Son of God. For what is  born into a holy relationship can never end.
Tx:22.37 A holy relationship, however newly  born, must value holiness above all else. Unholy values will produce

Tx:31.77  since, and those you will yet meet, the unremembered and the not yet  born. For God has given you His Son to save from every concept that
Tx:31.83  it occurs. It would persuade the holy Son of God he is a body,  born in what must die, unable to escape its frailty and bound by what
W1:75.2  begins for you and everyone. It is a new era in which a new world is  born. The old one has left no trace upon it in its passing. Today we

Tx:16.21  with what you taught before He came. And the results have been to  bring peace where there was pain, and suffering has disappeared, to

Tx:13.5  same light and therefore one. Everyone seen without the past thus  brings you nearer to the end of time by bringing healed and healing
Tx:13.14 Atonement  brings a re-evaluation of everything you cherish, for it is the means
Tx:13.59  Holy Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He  brings the light of truth into the darkness and lets it shine on you.
Tx:13.59  you see. They will be happy learners of the lesson which this light  brings to them because it teaches them release from nothing and from
Tx:14.30  darkness and lighten it away. At your request He enters gladly. He  brings the light to darkness if you make the darkness open to Him.
Tx:14.38 The Atonement does not make holy. You were created holy. It merely  brings unholiness to holiness, or what you made to what you are. The
Tx:14.47  has a unique function and is motivated by a unique Teacher, Who  brings the laws of another world to this one. The miracle is the one
Tx:14.67  Son as he always was and not as he would make himself. The miracle  brings the effects which only guiltlessness can bring and thus
Tx:14.72  and understanding go together and never can be found alone. Each  brings the other with it, for it is the law of God they be not
Tx:15.29  your little world but still in you, He extends forever. Yet He  brings all his extensions to you as host to Him.
Tx:15.74  forms, but it cannot long deceive those who will learn that love  brings no guilt at all, and what brings guilt cannot be love and must
Tx:15.74  those who will learn that love brings no guilt at all, and what  brings guilt cannot be love and must be anger. All anger is nothing
Tx:15.104  must learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice  brings guilt as surely as love brings peace. Guilt is the condition
Tx:15.104  separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love  brings peace. Guilt is the condition of sacrifice, as peace is the
Tx:16.72  which offended it and seeks retribution of you. The fantasies it  brings to the special relationships it chooses in which to act out
Tx:17.11  reasons for your making it. In the light of the real reason which He  brings, as you follow Him, He will show you that there is no reason
Tx:17.19  not enter at all to “spoil” the dream. And the less the other really  brings to it, the “better” it becomes. Thus, the attempt at union
Tx:17.61  of the ego's way of looking, for the ego believes the situation  brings the experience. The Holy Spirit knows that the situation is as
Tx:18.8  yourself, leading you gently back to the truth and safety within. He  brings all your insane projections and your wild substitutions which
Tx:18.33  in arrogance, assuming that you must achieve the state its coming  brings with it. The miracle of the holy instant lies in your
Tx:19.14  faith cannot forgive. No error interferes with its calm sight, which  brings the miracle of healing with equal ease to all of them. For
Tx:19.15  ground for the most holy garden which He would make of it. For faith  brings peace, and so it calls on truth to enter and make lovely what
Tx:19.26  fear, is really called upon by sin and always answers. For the ego  brings sin to fear, demanding punishment. Yet punishment is but
Tx:19.82  insane idea with His own, an Answer which left Him not and therefore  brings the Creator to the awareness of every mind which heard His
Tx:20.13  and look on him with the new vision that looks upon the lilies and  brings you joy. We go beyond the veil of fear, lighting each other's
Tx:20.71  when looked upon with vision. For this is not your sight, and  brings with it the laws beloved of Him Whose sight it is.
Tx:21.30  but always with faith and with the persistence that faith inevitably  brings. The power of faith is never recognized if it is placed in
Tx:21.37  is accomplished. Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice  brings nothing. He makes no bargains. And if you seek to limit Him,
Tx:21.47  The song of freedom, which sings the praises of another world,  brings to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now it sees
Tx:21.66  you want, and all you want. Listen to Him Who speaks with reason and  brings your reason into line with His. Be willing to let reason be
Tx:22.16  though each one seems to be the way to lose the misery the other  brings. Every illusion carries pain and suffering in the dark folds
Tx:22.31 Reason is not salvation in itself, but it makes way for peace and  brings you to a state of mind in which salvation can be given you.
Tx:22.56  and yet you will remember. Who can deny himself the vision that he  brings to others? And who would fail to recognize a gift he let be
Tx:22.64  From loving minds there is no separation. And every thought in one  brings gladness to the other because they are the same. Joy is
Tx:24.18  one meaning. And it is one you both can understand, and one which  brings release to both of you. Here stands your brother with the key
Tx:25.29  as the same, your choice is made. For it is seeing them as one that  brings release from the belief there are two ways to see. This world
Tx:25.44  at twilight. And they turn away from sunlight and the clarity it  brings to what they look upon. Dimness seems better—easier to see
Tx:25.44  see? The wish to see calls down the grace of God upon your eyes and  brings the gift of light that makes sight possible.
Tx:25.63  it than that you keep it for yourself alone and recognize that what  brings loss to no one you would not know. This much is necessary to
Tx:25.72  to you the gifts the innocent deserve. And every one that you accept  brings joy to Him as well as you. He knows that Heaven is richer made
Tx:25.77  Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit  brings to earth. Your special function shows you nothing else but
Tx:26.28 Forgiveness  brings no little miracles to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the
Tx:26.28  Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself comes to receive each gift that  brings him nearer to his home. Not one is lost, and none is cherished
Tx:26.46  your Friend. And it is He who is your only Friend in truth. He  brings you gifts that are not of this world, and only He to whom they
Tx:26.73  not come, although already there? You have been told that everything  brings good that comes from God. And yet it seems as if this is not
Tx:27.4 The power of witness is beyond belief because it  brings conviction in its wake. The witness is believed because he
Tx:27.16 Forgiveness is not real unless it  brings a healing to your brother and yourself. You must attest his
Tx:27.47  apart from you when you accept the blessing that the holy instant  brings? Be not afraid of blessing, for the One Who blesses you loves
Tx:27.57  a witness to your life in Him Who knows no death. Each miracle He  brings is witness that the body is not real. Its pains and pleasures
Tx:27.58  which you called your suffering. It is no longer there. The One Who  brings the miracle perceived them all as one and called by name of
Tx:27.58  It is a witness no one can deny, for it is the effects of life it  brings. The dying live, the dead arise, and pain has vanished. Yet a
Tx:27.74  the place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear of death. He  brings forgiving dreams in which the choice is not who is the
Tx:27.74  who is the murderer and who shall be the victim. In the dreams He  brings, there is no murder and there is no death. The dream of guilt
Tx:27.83  which dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts instead of you. It  brings its vengeance, not your own. It keeps you narrowly confined
Tx:27.87  until it has been learned, regardless of the form of suffering that  brings you pain. Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will make answer
Tx:28.56  punish you and thus deserve your hatred for the limitations which it  brings to you. Yet you have made of it a symbol for the limitations
Tx:29.14  else His gifts of peace and joy and all the happiness His Presence  brings can be obtained. For they are where He is Who brought them

Tx:1.78  It is therefore an inappropriate reaction to me. An elder  brother is entitled to respect for his greater experience and a
Tx:1.78  for his greater wisdom. He is also entitled to love because he is a  brother and also to devotion if he is devoted. It is only my devotion
Tx:1.80 I bridge the distance as an elder  brother to man on the one hand and as a Son of God on the other. My
Tx:2.43  talent of protecting others. The inner self knows itself as both a  brother and a Son. You know that when defenses are disrupted, there
Tx:4.1 The Bible says that you should go with a  brother twice as far as he asks. It certainly does not suggest that
Tx:4.1  does not suggest that you set him back on his journey. Devotion to a  brother cannot set you back either. It can lead only to mutual
Tx:4.20  never for your Soul. A father can safely leave a child with an elder  brother who has shown himself responsible, but this involves no
Tx:4.20  but this involves no confusion about the child's origin. The  brother can protect the child's body and his ego, which are very
Tx:4.58  your ego together but has literally split your mind. As a loving  brother, I am deeply concerned with your mind and urge you to follow
Tx:4.90  I want. I will bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your  brother is to know God. A little knowledge is an all-encompassing
Tx:4.91 As you come closer to a  brother, you do approach me and, as you withdraw from him, I become
Tx:5.4 Let me know this  brother as I know myself.
Tx:5.32 The way to learn to know your  brother is by perceiving the Holy Spirit in him. We have already said
Tx:5.33  brothers. Since thoughts do not have to be conscious to exist, your  brother does not have to be aware of the Holy Spirit either in
Tx:5.34 Your  brother may have dissociated the Call for God, just as you have. The
Tx:5.34  and thus acknowledge its being. There are two ways of seeing your  brother which are diametrically opposed to each other. They must both
Tx:5.34  and you will recognize Him in yours. What you acknowledge in your  brother you are acknowledging in yourself, and what you share you
Tx:5.53  It means that you cannot be hurt and do not want to show your  brother anything except your wholeness. Show him that he cannot hurt
Tx:5.54  you belong, and how can you find this way except by taking your  brother with you?
Tx:5.55  and know that he belongs to God as you do. How could you treat your  brother better than by rendering unto God the things which are God's?
Tx:6.1  wholly irrational premises, the equally irrational conclusion that a  brother is worthy of attack rather than of love follows. What can be
Tx:6.21  to have called forth upon Judas was a similar reversal. Judas was my  brother and a Son of God, as much a part of the Sonship as myself.
Tx:7.9  because of the elements which they share, can transfer to it. When a  brother perceives himself as sick, he is perceiving himself as not
Tx:7.10 To heal, then, is to correct perception in your  brother and yourself by sharing the Holy Spirit with him. This places
Tx:7.48  you are learning. You are recognizing the changeless mind in your  brother by realizing that he could not have changed his mind. That is
Tx:7.70 Whenever you deny a blessing to a  brother, you will feel deprived. This is because denial is as total
Tx:7.72 When a  brother acts insanely, he is offering you an opportunity to bless
Tx:7.73  Teach no one that he is what you would not want to be. Your  brother is the mirror in which you will see the image of yourself as
Tx:7.78  are taking it from you. One must be fearful if he believes that his  brother is attacking him to tear the Kingdom of Heaven from him. This
Tx:7.79  of this as you are, are out to take God from you. Whenever a  brother attacks another, this is what he believes. Projection always
Tx:7.111  and appreciate and know. Perceiving the Majesty of God as your  brother is to accept your own inheritance. God gives only equally. If
Tx:7.112  only the whole Sonship can create like Him. Whenever you heal a  brother by recognizing his worth, you are acknowledging his power to
Tx:8.21 Whenever you are with a  brother, you are learning what you are because you are teaching what
Tx:8.57  Loss of any kind is impossible. When you look upon a  brother as a physical entity, his power and glory are lost to you,

Tx:8.111 The message your  brother gives you is up to you. What does he say to you? What would
Tx:8.111  in him, and His Voice speaks to you through him. What can so holy a  brother tell you except truth? But are you listening to it? Your
Tx:8.111  a brother tell you except truth? But are you listening to it? Your  brother may not know who he is, but there is a light in his mind
Tx:8.112 Salvation is of your  brother. The Holy Spirit extends from your mind to his and answers
Tx:8.112  that it is for you unless you hear it in others. It must be for your  brother because it is for you. Would God have created a Voice for you
Tx:8.112  hear His answer except as He answers all of God's Sons? Hear of your  brother what you would have me hear of you, for you would not want me
Tx:8.119 Because I will to know myself, I see you as God's Son and my  brother.
Tx:9.2  lies solely in the relinquishment of the ego. When you correct a  brother, you are telling him that he is wrong. He may be making no
Tx:9.4  Him, you are listening to your ego and making as little sense as the  brother whose errors you perceive. This cannot be correction. Yet it
Tx:9.5 When a  brother behaves insanely, you can heal him only by perceiving the
Tx:9.5  this different from telling you that what you teach you learn? Your  brother is as right as you are, and if you think he is wrong, you are
Tx:9.7  The Holy Spirit in you forgives all things in you and in your  brother. His errors are forgiven with yours. Atonement is no more
Tx:9.7  because it comes from love. Any attempt you make to correct a  brother means that you believe correction by you is possible, and
Tx:9.9  believe what your perception holds. Accept as true only what your  brother is if you would know yourself. Perceive what he is not, and
Tx:9.32  will not always recognize His consistency. What you offer to your  brother, you offer to Him because He cannot go beyond your offering
Tx:9.33  than He is. Would you know what this means? If what you do to my  brother you do to me, and if you do everything for yourself because
Tx:9.37  you, and you are incomplete without your creations. Accept your  brother in this world and accept nothing else, for in him you will
Tx:9.37  know that you are co-creator with God until you learn that your  brother is a co-creator with you.
Tx:9.80 When a  brother is sick, it is because he is not asking for peace and
Tx:9.91  It is an act of faith, because it is the recognition that his  brother can do it. It is a call to the Holy Spirit in his mind, a
Tx:9.91  the miracle worker has heard Him, he strengthens His Voice in a sick  brother by weakening his belief in sickness, which he does not share.

Tx:10.17  of God. Every healing thought which you accept, either from your  brother or in your own mind, teaches you that you are God's Son. In
Tx:10.33  because the light He created is one with Him. Would you cut off a  brother from the light that is yours? You would not do so if you
Tx:10.58 Every  brother you meet becomes a witness for Christ or for the ego,
Tx:10.58  is a witness to the thought system you want to be true. Every  brother has the power to release you if you will to be free. You
Tx:10.62  as you live in everyone. Can you, then, perceive unworthiness in a  brother and not perceive it in yourself? And can you perceive it in
Tx:10.84 Do not, then, be deceived in your  brother and see only his loving thoughts as his reality, for by
Tx:10.85  presence of God's answer? Ask, then, to learn of the reality of your  brother because this is what you will perceive in him, and you will
Tx:10.86  you cannot perceive part of you as sick and achieve your own goal.  Brother, we heal together as we live together and love together. Be
Tx:10.87 If you perceive offense in a  brother, pluck the offense from your mind, for you are offended by
Tx:11.6  do need His. Only appreciation is an appropriate response to your  brother. Gratitude is due him for both his loving thoughts and his
Tx:11.7  them to you because they are for you. Do not attempt to “help” a  brother in your way, for you cannot help yourselves. But hear his
Tx:11.15  of God. You can remember this for all the Sonship. Do not allow your  brother not to remember, for his forgetfulness is yours. But your
Tx:11.15  This is what you have forgotten. To perceive the healing of your  brother as the healing of yourself is thus the way to remember God.
Tx:11.16 Perceive in sickness but another call for love and offer your  brother what he believes he cannot offer himself. Whatever the
Tx:11.16  health is to recognize in hatred the call for love. And to give a  brother what he really wants is to offer it unto yourself, for your
Tx:11.16  is to offer it unto yourself, for your Father wills you to know your  brother as yourself. Answer his call for love and yours is answered.
Tx:11.25 Suppose a  brother insists on having you do something you think you do not want
Tx:11.26 Whenever you become angry with a  brother, for whatever reason, you are believing that the ego is to be
Tx:11.27  outrageous, for nothing can be asked of you, and every request of a  brother is for you. Why would you insist in denying him? For to do so
Tx:12.27  let it go. You thus deny yourself the message of release that every  brother offers you now.
Tx:12.37  it comes it is not recognized. If you see your own hatred as your  brother, you are not seeing him. Everyone draws nigh unto what he
Tx:12.45  reality leaves no room for any error. This means that you perceive a  brother only as you see him now. His past has no reality in the
Tx:12.45  what was now. If you remember the past as you look upon your  brother, you will be unable to perceive the reality that is now.
Tx:12.49 The miracle enables you to see your  brother without his past and so perceive him as born again. His
Tx:13.9  the power to create the witnesses to [yours, which is as His. Deny a  brother here, and you deny the witnesses to] your fatherhood in
Tx:13.14  because you see the past and see him not. When you condemn a  brother, you are saying, “I who was guilty choose to remain so.” You
Tx:13.22 In any union with a  brother in which you seek to lay your guilt upon him or share it with
Tx:13.30  true, you will have no idea what love is like. No one who condemns a  brother can see himself as guiltless in the peace of God. If he is
Tx:13.70  he binds himself to darkness because he did not choose to free his  brother and enter light with him. By giving power to nothing, he
Tx:14.52  is merely form, and nothing else. For you do not respond to what a  brother really offers you, but only to the particular perception of
Tx:14.56  Holy Spirit is nothing. Every interpretation you would lay upon a  brother is senseless. Let the Holy Spirit show him to you and teach
Tx:14.57  is the recognition that this is true. Where there is love, your  brother must give it to you because of what it is. But where there is
Tx:15.13  be yours alone. Remember, then, when you are tempted to attack a  brother, that his instant of release is yours. Miracles are the
Tx:15.13  for His use of it. How long is an instant? It is as short for your  brother as it is for you. Practice giving this blessed instant of
Tx:15.19  A Son of God who has been released through the Holy Spirit in a  brother, if the release is complete, is always recognized. He cannot
Tx:15.34  God and of the Heaven that is in him. For where you would help your  brother be, there will you think you are. Hear not his call for hell
Tx:15.54  meaning apart from His, and it is impossible to understand it. Every  brother God loves as He loves you—neither less nor more. He needs
Tx:15.56  as you accept the possibility, and cherish it, that you can make a  brother what he is not because you would have him so.
Tx:15.76  body is companionship, you will be compelled to attempt to keep your  brother in his body, held there by guilt. And you will see safety in
Tx:15.88  its demands to make little and ineffectual. Limit your vision of a  brother to his body, which you will do as long as you would not
Tx:16.6 The triumph of weakness is not what you would offer to a  brother. And yet you know no triumph but this. This is not knowledge,
Tx:16.7  try to substitute your “miracle” for this. We once said that if a  brother asks a foolish thing of you, to do it. But be certain that
Tx:18.45 It is no dream to love your  brother as yourself. Nor is your holy relationship a dream. All that
Tx:18.48 I desire this holy instant for myself that I may share it with my  brother, whom I love. It is not possible that I can have it without
Tx:18.82  You could no more know God alone than He knows you without your  brother. But together you could no more be unaware of love than love
Tx:19.4  straight to illusions. For faithlessness is the perception of a  brother as a body, and the body cannot be used for purposes of union.
Tx:19.4  body cannot be used for purposes of union. If, then, you see your  brother as a body, you have established a condition in which uniting
Tx:19.10  from the past, which you received. You do not use anything your  brother has done before to condemn him now. You freely choose to
Tx:19.98  obstacle alone, for he could not have reached thus far unless his  brother walked beside him. And no one would dare to look on it
Tx:19.98  no one would dare to look on it without complete forgiveness of his  brother in his heart. Stand you here a while and tremble not. You
Tx:19.99  to which everyone must come when he is ready. Once he has found his  brother, he is ready. Yet merely to reach the place is not enough. A
Tx:19.101 This  brother who stands beside you still seems to be a stranger. You do
Tx:19.103  the worshipers of sin, know not Whom they attack. This is your  brother, crucified by sin, and waiting for release from pain. Would
Tx:19.104  forgive is free, and what you give you share. Forgive the sins your  brother thinks he has committed and all the guilt you think you see
Tx:19.105  return until redemption is accomplished and received. Think who your  brother is before you would condemn him. And offer thanks to God that
Tx:19.106  to give. Into the hands that give the gift is given. Look on your  brother, and see in him the gift of God you would receive. It is
Tx:19.107 Free your  brother here, as I freed you. Give him the self-same gift, nor look
Tx:20.5  lovely what you hate. Would you employ this hated thing to draw your  brother to you and to attract his body's eyes? Learn you but offer
Tx:20.7  and take it for their own. Here is the value that you lay upon your  brother and on yourself. Here is your gift to both; your judgment on
Tx:20.13 Would you not have your holy  brother lead you there? His innocence will light your way, offering
Tx:20.27  as surely as God created His Son holy and kept him so. In your  brother is the light of God's eternal promise of your immortality.
Tx:20.29  enter than can their source. And therein lies your need to see your  brother sinless. In him is Heaven. See sin in him instead, and Heaven
Tx:20.32  as they received. See, then, the power of sinlessness within your  brother and share with him the power of the release from sin you
Tx:20.50  from Him. But what you do not realize is what you fear within your  brother and would not see in him is what makes God seem fearful to
Tx:20.61 It is impossible to see your  brother as sinless and yet to look upon him as a body. Is this not
Tx:20.62  sin. It cannot be attained but in illusion, and so the illusion of a  brother as a body is quite in keeping with the purpose of unholiness.
Tx:20.65  it cannot look on sin. And thus it leads you to reality. Your holy  brother, sight of whom is your release, is no illusion. Attempt to
Tx:20.66 Your question should not be, “How can I see my  brother without the body?” Ask only, “Do I really wish to see him
Tx:20.67  but they will be enough to show you what is given you who see your  brother sinless. Truth is restored to you through your desire, as it
Tx:20.68  either means or end. All this is given you who would but see your  brother sinless. All this is given, waiting on your desire but to
Tx:20.69  at one with Him on what salvation is. Be willing, then, to see your  brother sinless that Christ may rise before your vision and give you
Tx:21.19  rests. This was not given you. This was your gift to you and to your  brother. Be willing, then, to have it taken from him and be replaced
Tx:21.27  madness of its maker, and cannot serve to justify the madness. Your  brother thinks he made the world with you. Thus he denies creation.
Tx:21.29  is adjusted. Forget not this—to bargain is to set a limit, and any  brother with whom you have a limited relationship you hate. You may
Tx:21.35  the body has your faith and your belief. But holiness would set your  brother free, removing hatred by removing fear, not as a symptom, but
Tx:21.45 This part has seen your  brother and recognized him perfectly since time began. And it desired
Tx:21.59  and you allow it not to do so, you deny it to yourself and to your  brother. And if he shares this same belief, you both will think that
Tx:21.60 Correction cannot be accepted or refused by you without your  brother. Sin would maintain it can. Yet reason tells you that you
Tx:21.60  would maintain it can. Yet reason tells you that you cannot see your  brother or yourself as sinful and still perceive the other innocent.
Tx:21.63 The body does not separate you from your  brother, and if you think it does, you are insane. But madness has a
Tx:21.64  Reason will tell you that this fact is your release. Neither your  brother nor yourself can be attacked alone. But neither can accept a
Tx:21.67  an instant in the glad acceptance of what is given you to give your  brother, and learn with him what has been given both of you. To give
Tx:21.68  what you must be. Your Father is as close to you as is your  brother. Yet what is there that could be nearer you than is your Self?
Tx:21.71  hate. They are indeed a sorry army, each one as likely to attack his  brother or turn upon himself as to remember they thought they had a
Tx:22.28  gladly is His vision given to anyone who is but willing to see his  brother sinless. And no one can remain beyond this willingness if you
Tx:22.28  of perfect purity, and God created it for you. Look on your holy  brother, sinless as yourself, and let him lead you there.
Tx:22.36  from you by what the body's eyes can see. Let your awareness of your  brother not be blocked by your perception of his sins and of his
Tx:22.50  seem to stand, heavy and solid and immovable, between you and your  brother. And not one that truth cannot pass over lightly and so
Tx:23.16  with Him. You are not strangers in the house of God. Welcome your  brother to the home where God has set him in serenity and peace and
Tx:23.31 Never is your possession made complete. And never will your  brother cease his attack on you for what you stole. Nor will God end
Tx:23.42  a blessing and a sign the Voice for God speaks through you to your  brother? The wrapping does not make the gift you give. An empty box,
Tx:23.42  nor the giver is long deceived. Withhold forgiveness from your  brother, and you attack him. You give him nothing and receive of him
Tx:24.7  decisions. Here is the grand illusion of what you are and what your  brother is. And here is what must make the body dear and worth
Tx:24.7  be defended. Illusions can attack it, and they do. For what your  brother must become to keep your specialness is an illusion. He who
Tx:24.8 Would it be possible for you to hate your  brother if you were like him? Could you attack him if you realized
Tx:24.8  And what decision can be made for this that will not hurt you? Your  brother is your friend because his Father created him like you. There
Tx:24.11  is specialness but an attack upon the Will of God? You love your  brother not while it is this you would defend against him. This is
Tx:24.18  and one which brings release to both of you. Here stands your  brother with the key to Heaven in his hand held out to you. Let not
Tx:24.21  if He is not special, then He willed His Son be like Him, and your  brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of everything
Tx:24.25 The key you threw away God gave your  brother, whose holy hands would offer it to you when you were ready
Tx:24.31  is barred to love and to salvation. Yet if you would release your  brother from the depths of hell, you have forgiven Him Whose Will it
Tx:24.38  and consider well, whether it is your wish that you might see your  brother sinless. To specialness the answer must be “no.” A sinless
Tx:24.38  brother sinless. To specialness the answer must be “no.” A sinless  brother is its enemy, while sin, if it were possible, would be its
Tx:24.39  you suffer pain of any kind, you have beheld some sin within your  brother and have rejoiced at what you thought was there. Your
Tx:24.43  it lead but to destruction? Yet think not that it looked upon your  brother first, nor hated him before it hated you. The sin its eyes
Tx:24.47  Son could never will that you be brotherless. And would He give a  brother unto you except he be as perfect as yourself and just as like
Tx:24.49  leave His own creation. And the sign that this is so lies in your  brother, offered you that all your doubts about yourself may
Tx:24.51  has no meaning in eternity where He abides and you with Him. Your  brother is as He created him. And it is this that saves you from a
Tx:24.53 Look on your  brother and behold in him the whole reversal of the laws that seem to
Tx:24.54  and the world's, is set the shining memory of Him in Whom your  brother lives and you along with him. Let not your eyes be blinded by
Tx:24.57  you. Futility of function not fulfilled will haunt you while your  brother lies asleep, till what has been assigned to you is done and
Tx:24.58  of Him with equal love [and care]. The Christ in you can see your  brother truly. Would you decide against the holiness He sees?
Tx:24.63 The memory of God shines not alone. What is within your  brother still contains all of creation, everything created and
Tx:24.72  beloved son. The other rests within, His Father's Son, within your  brother as he is in you. Their difference does not lie in how they
Tx:25.3  and love to heal their minds. Such is the mission that your  brother has for you. And such it must be that your mission is for him.
Tx:25.4  the mind at one with Him. And you are manifest unto your holy  brother, as he to you. Here is the meeting of the holy Christ unto
Tx:25.5  The message and the messenger are one. And you must see your  brother as yourself. Framed in his body, you will see your sinfulness
Tx:25.16  as if a masterpiece were there to see? Yet if you see your  brother as a body, it is but this you do. The masterpiece that God
Tx:25.19 Within the darkness, see the savior from the dark and understand your  brother as his Father's Mind shows him to you. He will step forth
Tx:25.20  when any part of Him joins in His praise, to share His joy. This  brother is His perfect gift to you. And He is glad and thankful when
Tx:25.21 Forgive your  brother, and you cannot separate yourself from him nor from his
Tx:25.21  who but extend His Will. It was for this you were created and your  brother with you and at one with you.
Tx:25.22  in will that you be made complete by offering completion to your  brother. See not in him the sinfulness he sees, but give him honor
Tx:25.42  hates you, thinking Heaven must be hell. Look once again upon your  brother, not without the understanding that he is the way to Heaven
Tx:25.45 Will you behold your  brother? God is glad to have you look on him. He does not will your
Tx:25.48  His wish was not denied but changed in form to let it serve his  brother and himself and thus become a means to save instead of lose.
Tx:26.1  of power in the name of saving just a little for yourself. To see a  brother in another body separate from yours is the expression of a
Tx:26.3  And to accept the limits of a body is to impose these limits on each  brother whom you see. For you must see him as you see yourself.
Tx:26.4  body is a loss and can be made to sacrifice. And while you see your  brother as a body, apart from you and separate in his cell, you are
Tx:26.6  of showing you that it has not been lost. Hear then the song your  brother sings to you. And let the world recede and take the rest his
Tx:26.54 Sins are beliefs which you impose between your  brother and yourself. They limit you to time and place and give a
Tx:26.54  apart and separate. Forgiveness takes away what stands between your  brother and yourself. It is the wish that you be joined with him and
Tx:26.63  because the truth is in your memory. And to this name, your  brother calls for his release and yours. Heaven is shining on the Son
Tx:26.66  in peace, where God would have you be, and be the means whereby your  brother finds the peace in which your wishes are fulfilled. Let us
Tx:26.66  And everything belongs to each of them. No wishes lie between a  brother and his own. To get from one is to deprive them all. And yet
Tx:26.77  you must be from whom the Voice for God calls lovingly unto your  brother, that you may awake in him the Voice that answers to your
Tx:26.78  one you cherish still? Forget not that a shadow held between your  brother and yourself obscures the face of Christ and memory of God.
Tx:26.89 You think your  brother is unfair to you because you think that one must be unfair to
Tx:27.1  on your path, or you will weave a crown of thorns from which your  brother and yourself will not escape. You cannot crucify yourself
Tx:27.3  unfairly treated, or in need of anything, you but accuse your  brother of attack upon God's Son. You hold a picture of your
Tx:27.4  seek to kill. Death seems an easy price if they can say, “Behold me,  brother; at your hand I die.” For sickness is the witness to his
Tx:27.5  what it represents. The bleak and bitter picture you have sent your  brother you have looked upon in grief. And everything that it has
Tx:27.6 Show this unto your  brother, who will see that every scar is healed and every tear is
Tx:27.7  speak for and represent. And each has many voices, speaking to your  brother and yourself in different tongues. And yet to both the
Tx:27.10 Your function is to [prove to] your  brother that sin can have no cause. How futile must it be to see
Tx:27.11  power to represent an endless life, forever unattacked. And to your  brother let its message be, “Behold me, brother; at your hand I live.”
Tx:27.11  unattacked. And to your brother let its message be, “Behold me,  brother; at your hand I live.”
Tx:27.13  the damaged have no grounds for peace. Who has been injured by his  brother and could love and trust him still? He has attacked and will
Tx:27.14  first establish sin and then forgive it. Who can say and mean, “My  brother, you have injured me, and yet because I am the better of the
Tx:27.15  done to you deserves no pardon. And by giving it, you grant your  brother mercy but retain the proof he is not really innocent. The
Tx:27.16 Forgiveness is not real unless it brings a healing to your  brother and yourself. You must attest his sins had no effect on you
Tx:27.16  be healed that you may be forgiving, offering salvation to your  brother and yourself. A broken body shows the mind has not been
Tx:27.18  his own, will yet be the last trumpet that the world will ever hear.  Brother, there is no death. And this you learn when you but wish to
Tx:27.18  there is no death. And this you learn when you but wish to show your  brother that you had no hurt of him. He thinks your blood is on his
Tx:27.19  they bestow an equal gift of full deliverance from guilt upon your  brother and yourself. Your healing saves him pain as well as you, and
Tx:27.19  with no effects. Your health is a result of your desire to see your  brother with no blood upon his hands nor guilt upon his heart made
Tx:27.23  yours in someone else. And thus does he become your victim, not your  brother, different from you in that he is more guilty, thus in need
Tx:27.26  to its accuser, who hated it and hates it still. This is your  brother, focus of your hate, unworthy to be part of you and thus
Tx:27.30 You have decided that your  brother is a symbol for a “hateful-love,” a “weakened-power,” and
Tx:27.31 The picture of your  brother that you see means nothing. There is nothing to attack or to
Tx:27.31  What can the causeless be but nothingness? The picture of your  brother that you see is wholly absent and has never been. Let then
Tx:27.34 The picture of your  brother given you to occupy the space so lately left unoccupied and
Tx:27.49  upon the Friend who brought them their release. And happily your  brother will perceive the many friends he thought were enemies.
Tx:27.52  be proved to you by all the many different witnesses it finds. Your  brother first among them will be seen, but thousands stand behind
Tx:27.67  this is where your guilt was first beheld. In separation from your  brother was the first attack upon yourself begun. And it is this the
Tx:27.72 A  brother separated from yourself, an ancient enemy, a murderer who
Tx:27.72  murderer, the secret enemy, the scavenger and the destroyer of [the]  brother and the world alike. Here is the cause of suffering, the
Tx:27.73  [A gentler dream, in which his suffering was healed and where his  brother was his friend.] God willed he waken gently and with joy. And
Tx:27.75 Dream softly of your sinless  brother, who unites with you in holy innocence. And from this dream,
Tx:27.76  his Father, Whom you see as offering both life and death to you.  Brother, He gives but life. Yet what you see as gifts your brother
Tx:27.76  to you. Brother, He gives but life. Yet what you see as gifts your  brother offers represent the gifts you dream your Father gives to
Tx:27.83  is time made real; a part of God which can attack itself; a separate  brother as an enemy; a mind within a body, all are forms of
Tx:27.85  effects removed. Perhaps you come in tears, but hear Him say, “My  brother, Holy Son of God, behold your idle dream in which this could
Tx:27.90  this that has maintained you separate from the world and kept your  brother separate from you. Now need you but to learn that both of you
Tx:28.22  dream. He gives himself the consequences which he dreams he gave his  brother. And it is but this the dream has put together and has
Tx:28.30  bodies which are separated and which cannot join. Do not allow your  brother to be sick, for if he is, have you abandoned him to his own
Tx:28.35  miracles. And where the gap was seen to stand between you, join your  brother there. And sickness will be seen without a cause. The dream
Tx:28.39 Like you, your  brother thinks he is a dream. Share not in his illusion of himself,
Tx:28.39  him as a mind in which illusions still persist, but as a mind which  brother is to you. He is not brother made by what he dreams, nor is
Tx:28.39  still persist, but as a mind which brother is to you. He is not  brother made by what he dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the dream,
Tx:28.39  made by what he dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the dream, your  brother. It is his reality that is your brother, as is yours to him.
Tx:28.39  “hero” of the dream, your brother. It is his reality that is your  brother, as is yours to him. Your mind and his are joined in
Tx:28.43  be united with him. He has dream[ed] that he was separated from his  brother who, by sharing not his dream, has left the space between
Tx:28.49  upon your Self, which seems to be your enemy, and will attack your  brother as a part of what you hate. There is no compromise. You are
Tx:28.57  self be lost. This is the secret vow which you have made with every  brother who would walk apart. This is the secret oath you take again,
Tx:28.58  oath to be forever faithful unto death. And by his healing is his  brother healed.
Tx:28.62 Either there is a gap between you and your  brother, or you are as one. There is no in between, no other choice,
Tx:29.1  fail. All this do you believe, when you perceive a gap between your  brother and yourself. How could you trust Him, then? For He must be
Tx:29.3  seem dark and fearful, perilous and bleak. You had decided that your  brother is your enemy. Sometimes a friend, perhaps, provided that
Tx:29.22  The coming of the light means it is gone. In glory will you see your  brother then and understand what really fills the gap so long
Tx:29.23  create, but which you can extend. On earth this means forgive your  brother, that the darkness may be lifted from your mind. When light
Tx:29.29  seem to be what they are for. A shadow figure who attacks becomes a  brother giving you a chance to help if this becomes the function of
Tx:29.30 What is your  brother for? You do not know because your function is obscure to you.
Tx:29.35  lay bloody hands on Heaven itself and hope to find its peace? Your  brother thinks he holds the hand of death. Believe him not. But learn
Tx:29.38 How willing are you to forgive your  brother? How much do you desire peace instead of endless strife and
Tx:29.52  are for and why they have been made. An idol is an image of your  brother which you would value more than what he is. Idols are made
Tx:29.55  across the face of Christ because its purpose is to separate your  brother from yourself. A dark and fearful purpose, yet a thought
Tx:29.60  make of Heaven less, to give you more than God bestowed upon your  brother and on you as one with Him? God gave you all there is. And to
Tx:30.37  is healed. And now is God forgiven, for you chose to look upon your  brother as a friend.
Tx:30.62  again that what is his be given back to him. The gap between your  brother and yourself was never there. And what the Son of God knew in
Tx:30.68 Be merciful unto your  brother, then. And do not choose an idol thoughtlessly, remembering
Tx:30.73  think of its Creator as it looks upon itself. If you can see your  brother merits pardon, you have learned forgiveness is your right as
Tx:30.73  you think that God intends for you a fearful judgment which your  brother does not merit. For it is the truth that you can merit
Tx:30.77 Look on your  brother with the willingness to see him as he is. And do not keep a
Tx:30.81 Look on your  brother with this hope in you, and you will understand he could not
Tx:30.87  goal gives one interpretation, meaningful to you and to your  brother. Thus can you communicate with him and he with you. In
Tx:30.90  attests salvation from appearances by showing they can change. Your  brother has a changelessness in him beyond appearance and deception
Tx:30.93  happy form, devoid of fear. It will be given you to look upon your  brother thus. But not while you would have it otherwise in some
Tx:30.93  will be certain you are like Him, for He is the changeless in your  brother and in you.
Tx:30.94  there is not one appearance you would hold in place of what your  brother really is. Let no temptation to prefer a dream allow
Tx:31.16  and give away the role of leadership. And this is what you made your  brother for and learned to think that this his purpose is. Unless he
Tx:31.19 The answer that I give my  brother is what I am asking for. And what I learn of him is what I
Tx:31.20  we thought we heard; remembering how much we do not know. This  brother neither leads nor follows us but walks beside us on the
Tx:31.23 Forgive your  brother all appearances, which are but ancient lessons that you
Tx:31.24  both may learn you love each other with a brother's love. And as a  brother, must his Father be the same as yours, as he is like yourself.
Tx:31.26  shortened by a span of time you cannot realize. You never hate your  brother for his sins, but only for your own. Whatever form his sins
Tx:31.32  to change, and there will be no ancient penalty exacted from your  brother or yourself. For God has said there is no sacrifice that can
Tx:31.40  All choices in the world depend on this—you choose between your  brother and yourself, and you will gain as much as he will lose, and
Tx:31.40  truth is this, when the lesson's purpose is to teach that what your  brother loses you have lost and what he gains is what is given you.
Tx:31.48 Here is the central lesson that ensures your  brother is condemned eternally. For what you are has now become his
Tx:31.48  silently, and yet with ceaseless urgency condemning still your  brother for the hated thing you are.
Tx:31.51  Let us consider then what proof there is that you are what your  brother made of you. For even though you do not yet perceive that
Tx:31.52 That you are what your  brother made of you seems most unlikely. Even if he did, who gave the
Tx:31.52  parts to what you think yourself to be. If one was generated by your  brother, who was there to make the other? And from whom must
Tx:31.54  must be. You might for instance be the thing you chose to have your  brother be. This shifts the concept of the self from what is wholly
Tx:31.54  was it that did the choosing first? If you are what you chose your  brother be, alternatives were there to choose among, and someone must
Tx:31.55  almost equal loss, for now you stand accused of guilt for what your  brother is. And you must share his guilt because you chose it for him
Tx:31.69  innocence, for you are too confused about yourself. But should one  brother dawn upon your sight as wholly worthy of forgiveness, then
Tx:31.75  to his care. And this he learns when first he looks upon one  brother as he looks upon himself and sees the mirror of himself in
Tx:31.76  for just one error—that there is a space between you and your  brother, kept apart by an illusion of yourself which holds him off
Tx:31.76  of yourself that it may fight to keep the space that holds your  brother off unoccupied by love. Yet while you hold this sword, you
Tx:31.77  miserable and remain in hell and torment? Who has learned to see his  brother not as this has saved himself, and thus is he a savior to the
Tx:31.79  longer is held dear. But while you cherish it, you will behold your  brother in the likeness of the self whose image has the wish begot of
Tx:31.80 The savior's vision is as innocent of what your  brother is as it is free of any judgment made upon yourself. It sees
Tx:31.87  and each perplexity Christ calls to you and gently says, “My  brother, choose again.” He would not leave one source of pain
Tx:31.96 In joyous welcome is my hand outstretched to every  brother who would join with me in reaching past temptation and who

W1:72.6  hold insists that the body is real. It overlooks entirely what your  brother is. It reinforces your belief that he is a body and condemns
W1:105.8 My  brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and
W1:105.12 Determine not to interfere today with what He wills. And if a  brother seems to tempt you to deny God's gift to him, see it as but
W1:105.12  to let yourself receive the gifts of God as yours. Then bless your  brother thankfully, and say:
W1:105.13 My  brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and
W1:107.10  thought which gave the gift of life to Him as well. He is your  brother and so like to you your Father knows that you are both the
W1:108.5  correction will suffice for all correction or that to forgive one  brother wholly is enough to bring salvation to all minds. For these
W1:109.10  You rest within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each  brother comes to take his rest and offer it to you.
W1:110.8  Seek Him within you Who is Christ in you, the Son of God and  brother to the world—the savior who has been forever saved, with
W1:110.8  Him however lightly, asking for the Word that tells him he is  brother unto Him.
W1:127.12 I bless you,  brother, with the Love of God which I would share with you. For I

W1:134.9  follow in the way your true forgiveness opens up to you. For if one  brother has received this gift of you, the door is open to yourself.
W1:134.17 Then choose one  brother as He will direct, and catalogue his “sins,” as one by one
W1:134.18  the escape from all the heavy chains you sought to lay upon your  brother which were laid upon yourself.
W1:151.7 He will not tell you that your  brother should be judged by what your eyes behold in him, nor what
W1:158.10  well. This lesson is not difficult to learn if you remember in your  brother you but see yourself. If he be lost in sin, so must you be;
W1:158.10  you see light in him, your sins have been forgiven by yourself. Each  brother whom you meet today provides another chance to let Christ's
W1:159.2  as accomplished in yourself when you forgive. You recognize your  brother as yourself and thus do you perceive that you are whole.
W1:160.10  not remember Him until you look on all as He does. Who denies his  brother is denying Him and thus refusing to accept the gift of sight
W1:161.4 One  brother is all brothers. Every mind contains all minds, for every
W1:161.8 Who sees a  brother as a body sees him as fear's symbol. And he will attack
W1:161.12 Select one  brother, symbol of the rest, and ask salvation of him. See him first
W1:161.16  Be sure you use it instantly, should you be tempted to attack a  brother and perceive in him the symbol of your fear. And you will see
W1:162.6 And who would not be  brother to you now—you, his redeemer and his savior. Who could fail
W1:R5.9 My resurrection comes again each time I lead a  brother safely to the place at which the journey ends and is forgot.
W1:R5.9  at which the journey ends and is forgot. I am renewed each time a  brother learns there is a way from misery and pain. I am reborn each
W1:181.1  doubt and lack of sure conviction in yourself. When you attack a  brother, you proclaim that he is limited by what you have perceived
W1:182.11  against an enemy without existence. Christ has called you friend and  brother. He has even come to you to ask your help in letting Him go
W1:183.6 And should you join a  brother as you sit with him in silence and repeat God's Name along
W1:184.8  true in earth and Heaven is beyond your naming. When you call upon a  brother, it is to his body that you make appeal. His true Identity is
W1:187.9 The lilies that your  brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you offer
W1:187.10  God. Not separate from Him Who is our Source; not distant from one  brother who is part of our One Self Whose innocence has joined us all
W1:193.10  and do not forget these words apply to everything you see or any  brother looks upon amiss.
W1:195.3 Your  brother is your “enemy” because you see in him the rival for your
W1:195.4 You do not offer God your gratitude because your  brother is more slave than you, nor could you sanely be enraged if he

W2:225.2  Brother, we find that stillness now. The way is open. Now we follow
W2:231.2 This is your will, my  brother. And you share this will with me, and with the One as well
W2:247.1  His sight shows me as the simple truth and I am healed completely.  Brother, come and let me look on you. Your loveliness reflects my

W2:288.1  cherish it within my heart or I will lose the way to walk to You. My  brother is my savior. Let me not attack the savior You have given me.
W2:288.2  today. And you will know you have forgiven me if you behold your  brother in the light of holiness. He cannot be less holy than can I,
W2:313.2  the sight of Christ. How beautiful we are! How holy and how loving!  Brother, come and join with me today. We save the world when we are
W2:315.1  the day, in value far beyond all things of which I can conceive. A  brother smiles upon another, and my heart is gladdened. Someone

W2:334.2  to give him certainty and bring him peace? Today I would behold my  brother sinless. This Your Will for me, for thus will I behold my
W2:335.1 Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my  brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. What I see in
W2:335.1  look upon my own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my  brother in its holy light.
W2:342.2  Brother, forgive me now. I come to you to take you home with me. And
W2:351.1 Who is my  brother but Your holy Son? And if I see him sinful, I proclaim myself
W2:351.1  perception is a choice I make and can relinquish. I can also see my  brother sinless as Your holy Son. And with this choice I see my
W2:357.1  I think I live. Your holy Son is pointed out to me, first in my  brother, then in me. Your Voice instructs me patiently to hear Your
W2:FL.4  to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive our  brother who can offer this to us? He is the way, the truth, and life
W2:E.4  earned your trust by speaking daily to you of your Father and your  brother and your Self. He will continue; now you walk with Him as
M:4.14  that follows a dishonest thought. It is a verdict of guilt upon a  brother and therefore on one's self. It is the end of peace and the
M:5.10  teachers of God consider the forms of sickness in which their  brother believes. To do this is to forget that all of them have the

M:13.7  is its holiness that makes you safe. It is denied if you attack any  brother for anything. For it is here the split with God occurs. A

M:22.5  in Christ's Name. He will, in fact, be unable to recognize his  brother at all, for his Father did not create bodies, and so he is
M:22.5  for his Father did not create bodies, and so he is seeing in his  brother only the unreal. Mistakes do not correct mistakes, and

Tx:5.55  and God if you forsake any of your brothers. You are more than your  brother's keeper. In fact, you do not want to keep him. You must
Tx:9.3 If you point out the errors of your  brother's ego, you must be seeing through yours, because the Holy
Tx:9.7 Your  brother's errors are not of him any more than yours are of you.
Tx:10.86 Do not accept your  brother's variable perception of himself, for his split mind is
Tx:11.5  is the modern equivalent of the inquisition, for in both a  brother's errors are “uncovered” and he is then attacked for his own
Tx:11.6  Yet this is what you are maintaining when you refuse to recognize a  brother's appeal, for only by answering his appeal can you be helped.
Tx:11.8 Your interpretations of your  brother's need is your interpretation of yours. By giving help you
Tx:13.86 When you accept a  brother's guiltlessness, you will see the Atonement in him. For by
Tx:13.86  you will see what you sought. You will not see the symbol of your  brother's guiltlessness shining within him while you still believe it
Tx:19.32 While you believe that your reality or your  brother's is bounded by a body, you will believe in sin. While you
Tx:20.39 It is impossible to overestimate your  brother's value. Only the ego does this, but all it means is that it
Tx:20.39  wait in patience for its coming. It will be given you to see your  brother's worth when all you want for him is peace. And what you want
Tx:20.41 Your  brother's body is as little use to you as it is to him. When it is
Tx:20.43  prisoner to pain and death must be forgotten. This is no gift your  brother's body offers you. The veil that hides the gift hides him as
Tx:20.63 Who sees a  brother's body has laid a judgment on him and sees him not. He does
Tx:20.63  to truth and always hidden from it. And here in darkness is your  brother's reality imagined as a body, in unholy relationships with
Tx:20.69 Your  brother's sinlessness is given you in shining light, to look on with
Tx:20.69  rise before your vision and give you joy. And place no value on your  brother's body, which holds him to illusions of what he is. It is his
Tx:21.67 You are your  brother's savior. He is yours. Reason speaks happily indeed of this.
Tx:23.30  justified. Behold, unveiled, the ego's secret gift, torn from your  brother's body, hidden there in malice and in hatred for the one to
Tx:24.20  and every vestige of the fear of God will melt away in love. Your  brother's specialness and yours are enemies and bound in hate to kill
Tx:24.22  and kept separate from what it is and must forever be. You are your  brother's; part of love was not denied to him. But can it be that you
Tx:24.27  seems to give you power has taken it away. For you have given your  brother's birthright to it, leaving him alone and unforgiven and
Tx:24.38  its enemy, while sin, if it were possible, would be its friend. Your  brother's sins would justify itself and give it meaning that the
Tx:24.42  He sees, the sounds He hears. How beautiful His hand that holds His  brother's, and how lovingly He walks beside him, showing him what can
Tx:24.46  in you now and safely held in you by that same hand that holds your  brother's in your own. Christ's hand holds all His brothers in
Tx:24.49 Before your  brother's holiness the world is still and peace descends on it in
Tx:24.50  that is not part of Him, and nothing is but is alive in Him. Your  brother's holiness shows you that God is one with him and you—that
Tx:24.54  and find no sight nor place nor time where He is not. Within your  brother's holiness, the perfect frame for your salvation and the
Tx:24.54  God no longer hold the vision you were meant to see from you. Your  brother's body shows not Christ to you. He is set forth within his
Tx:24.55  where is God Himself but in that part of Him He set forever in your  brother's holiness that you might see the truth about yourself set
Tx:24.56 Your  brother's holiness is sacrament and benediction unto you. His errors
Tx:24.61 You who believe it easier to see your  brother's body than his holiness, be sure you understand what made
Tx:24.65  condemn it to decay and death. And if you see this purpose in your  brother's, such is your condemnation of your own. Weave, rather then,
Tx:25.28  to bring him joy. How can a misperception be a sin? Let all your  brother's errors be to you nothing except a chance for you to see the
Tx:26.5  and limitless as Heaven itself. No instant passes here in which your  brother's holiness cannot be seen, to add a limitless supply to every
Tx:26.67 Your ancient name belongs to everyone, as theirs to you. Call on your  brother's name and God will answer, for on Him you call. Could He
Tx:27.4  to what he represents. A sick and suffering you but represents your  brother's guilt—the witness which you send lest he forget the
Tx:27.15  reigns can suffer. He holds not the proof of sin before his  brother's eyes. And thus he must have overlooked it and removed it
Tx:27.21 Who then fears healing? Only those to whom their  brother's sacrifice and pain are seen to represent their own
Tx:27.25  correct is only half the error, which you think is all of it. Your  brother's sins become the central target for correction, lest your
Tx:27.53  you forever. Your healing will be one of its effects, as will your  brother's. Everywhere you go will you behold its multiplied effects.
Tx:27.75  Lord of Heaven will Himself awaken His beloved Son. Dream of your  brother's kindnesses instead of dwelling in your dreams on his
Tx:27.76  represent the gifts you dream your Father gives to you. Let all your  brother's gifts be seen in light of charity and kindness offered you.
Tx:27.85  and you will leave the holy instant with your laughter and your  brother's joined with His.
Tx:28.29  by both your minds, from separate points of view. Uniting with a  brother's mind prevents the cause of sickness and perceived effects.
Tx:28.44  sees this picture, he will recognize himself. If you share not your  brother's evil dream, this is the picture that the miracle will place
Tx:28.46 Join not your  brother's dreams but join with him, and where you join His Son, the
Tx:28.66 Your home is built upon your  brother's health, upon his happiness, his sinlessness, and everything
Tx:29.22  yourself. Yet you can let yourself be wakened. You can overlook your  brother's dreams. So perfectly can you forgive him his illusions, he
Tx:29.34  vain illusion of the world. And being empty, they received instead a  brother's hand in which completion lay.
Tx:31.24  but one purpose—that you both may learn you love each other with a  brother's love. And as a brother, must his Father be the same as
W1:R5.9  learns there is a way from misery and pain. I am reborn each time a  brother's mind turns to the light in him and looks for me. I have
W1:R5.11  I call to you is but your own. To Him we go together. Take your  brother's hand, for this is not a way we walk alone. In him I walk
W1:181.2  has replaced the one you held before. Remove your focus on your  brother's sins, and you experience the peace that comes from faith in
W1:181.5  we have lost this goal if anger blocks our way in any form. And if a  brother's sins occur to us, our narrowed focus will restrict our
W2:288.1  my Source, I first must recognize what You created one with me. My  brother's is the hand that leads me on the way to You. His sins are
W2:335.1  to see what I would look upon, and this I see and only this. My  brother's sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. And I
W2:335.2 What could restore Your memory to me except to see my  brother's sinlessness? His holiness reminds me that he was created

Tx:28.39  is your brother, as is yours to him. Your mind and his are joined in  brotherhood. His body and his dreams but seem to make a little gap,
Tx:28.40  separate from you. Therefore, release him, merely by your claim on  brotherhood and not on dreams of fear. Let him acknowledge who he is
W1:185.14  the hope that lies beyond despair, the love attack would hide, the  brotherhood that hate has sought to sever, but which still remains as
W2:341.1  smile, with all Your Love bestowed upon us, living one with You in  brotherhood and Fatherhood complete, in sinlessness so perfect that

brotherless (1)

Tx:24.47  He Who willed not to be without His Son could never will that you be  brotherless. And would He give a brother unto you except he be as

brothers (218)

Tx:1.29  which I undertook to begin. When you offer a miracle unto any of my  brothers, you do it unto yourself and me. The reason you come before
Tx:1.33 27. A miracle is a universal blessing from God through me to all my  brothers. It is the privilege of the forgiven to forgive.
Tx:1.47  forgive in return. It is the duty of the released to release their  brothers.
Tx:1.48  of Atonement. Those released by Christ must join in releasing their  brothers, for this is the plan of the Atonement. Miracles are the way
Tx:1.59 41. The miracle acknowledges all men as your  brothers and mine. It is a way of perceiving the universal mark of
Tx:1.59  God's Sons does not stem from exclusion but from inclusion. All my  brothers are special. If they believe they are deprived of anything,
Tx:1.80  on the one hand and as a Son of God on the other. My devotion to my  brothers has placed me in charge of the Sonship, which I can render
Tx:1.80  close to the Holy Spirit and alert to the revelation-readiness of my  brothers. I can thus bring down to them more than they can draw down
Tx:1.104  into believing that we can relate in peace to God or to our  brothers with anything external.”
Tx:3.63  release and deep peace that comes from meeting yourselves and your  brothers totally without judgment. When you recognize what you and
Tx:3.63  totally without judgment. When you recognize what you and your  brothers are, you will realize that judging them in any way is
Tx:4.90  each other, and one moment of real recognition makes all men your  brothers because they are all of your Father. Love does not conquer
Tx:4.91  from me. God will come to you only as you will give Him to your  brothers. Learn first of them, and you will be ready to hear God as
Tx:5.3 You are being blessed by every beneficent thought of any of your  brothers anywhere. You should want to bless them in return out of
Tx:5.29 Hear only this through the Holy Spirit within you, and teach your  brothers to listen as I am teaching you. When you are tempted by the
Tx:5.33  by being given away. It increases in you as you give it to your  brothers. Since thoughts do not have to be conscious to exist, your
Tx:5.55  me. You will forsake yourselves and God if you forsake any of your  brothers. You are more than your brother's keeper. In fact, you do
Tx:5.56  opposing thoughts. The Holy Spirit does not let you forsake your  brothers. Therefore, you can really share only the parts of your
Tx:5.73  of His fairness, and let me teach you how to share it with your  brothers. How else can the chance to claim it for yourself be given
Tx:5.91  giving will heal you. Sanity is wholeness, and the sanity of your  brothers is yours.
Tx:6.10  therefore made it forever true for me. Help me to teach it to our  brothers in the name of the Kingdom of God, but first believe that it
Tx:6.11 My  brothers slept during the so-called “agony in the garden,” but I
Tx:6.11  not being at all in need of bodily protection. I am sorry when my  brothers do not share my decision to hear only one voice, because it
Tx:6.15 My  brothers and yours are constantly engaged in justifying the
Tx:6.27  is solely a device of the ego to make you feel different from your  brothers and separated from them. The ego justifies this on the
Tx:6.28  projection only to distort your perception both of yourself and your  brothers. The process begins by excluding something [you think]
Tx:6.28  which you do not want and leads directly to excluding you from your  brothers. We have learned, however, that there is another use of
Tx:6.48  with it, and the ego feels badly in need of allies though not of  brothers. Perceiving something alien to itself in your mind, the ego
Tx:7.27  therefore in need of allies. You who are not at war must look for  brothers and recognize all whom you see as brothers, because only
Tx:7.27  not at war must look for brothers and recognize all whom you see as  brothers, because only equals are at peace.
Tx:7.28  everything, they cannot compete. Yet if they perceive any of their  brothers as anything other than their perfect equals, the idea of
Tx:7.29  thought, because it is a reflection of perfect Thought. It sees only  brothers, because it sees only in its own light.
Tx:7.38  the ego has induced in you by not recognizing its existence in your  brothers. This strengthens the Holy Spirit in both of you, because it
Tx:7.47 The unhealed healer wants gratitude from his  brothers, but he is not grateful to them. This is because he thinks
Tx:7.51  Him. To forget me is to forget yourself and Him Who created you. Our  brothers are forgetful. That is why they need your remembrance of me
Tx:7.52  learn of the truth in you. The mind we share is shared by all our  brothers, and as we see them truly, they will be healed. Let your
Tx:7.77  they are deprived. Give therefore of your abundance and teach your  brothers theirs. Do not share their delusions of scarcity, or you
Tx:7.79  you have been treacherous to your Creator, it believes that your  brothers, who are as incapable of this as you are, are out to take
Tx:7.92 The Soul knows that the consciousness of all its  brothers is included in its own, as it is included in God. The power
Tx:7.97  are reflections both of your own proper identification with your  brothers and of your own awareness that your identification is
Tx:7.112  You do not know your creations, because you do not know your  brothers, who created them with you. We said before that only the
Tx:8.23  your wrong decisions are undone, completely releasing you and your  brothers from every imprisoning thought any part of the Sonship has
Tx:8.42  We begin the journey back by setting out together and gather in our  brothers as we continue together. Every gain in our strength is

Tx:8.54  Holy Spirit reaches through it to others. You do not perceive your  brothers as the Holy Spirit does, because you do not interpret their
Tx:8.79 The Holy Spirit teaches you to use your body only to reach your  brothers, so He can teach His message through you. This will heal
Tx:8.113  in you, who speaks to me through you. If you would hear me, hear my  brothers in whom God's Voice speaks. The answer to all prayers lies
Tx:8.114 Believe in your  brothers because I believe in you, and you will learn that my belief
Tx:9.33 If your  brothers are part of you, will you accept them? Only they can teach
Tx:9.34  as yours, but meanwhile you will judge it as you judge your  brothers' and will accept it as you accept theirs.
Tx:9.38  it, He must have made it possible and very easy to obtain it. Your  brothers are everywhere. You do not have to seek far for salvation.
Tx:9.38  your will? And is it possible that this is not also the will of your  brothers?
Tx:9.75  the remembrance of Him awakens throughout the Sonship. Heal your  brothers simply by accepting God for them.
Tx:9.78  you. To obtain this you are willing to attack the divinity of your  brothers and thus lose sight of yours. And you are willing to keep it
Tx:9.84  other gods before Him. You can give up the god of sickness for your  brothers; in fact, you would have to do so if you give him up for
Tx:9.91  a Son of God who has laid aside all false gods and who calls on his  brothers to do likewise. It is an act of faith, because it is the
Tx:9.94  it is the message you want. You may believe that you judge your  brothers by the messages they give you, but you have judged them by
Tx:9.94  of the spark that brings depression, and whenever you see your  brothers without it, you are denying God.
Tx:9.99  He created, for His Son is everywhere. Look with peace upon your  brothers, and God will come rushing into your heart in gratitude for
Tx:10.24  wanders homelessly. At home in God, he is lonely, and amid all his  brothers, he is friendless. Would God let this be real if He did not
Tx:10.30 All your  brothers must enter with you, for until you have accepted them, you

Tx:11.15  of yourself is thus the way to remember God. For you forgot your  brothers with Him, and God's answer to your forgetting is but the way
Tx:11.27 Recognize what does not matter, and if your  brothers ask you for something “outrageous,” do it because it does
Tx:11.40  you yours, for your mission is the same as His. By guiding your  brothers home, you are but following Him.
Tx:11.43  yourself as weakened. No longer perceiving yourself and all your  brothers as equal and regarding yourself as weaker, you attempt to
Tx:11.71  Yet in that same place, you could have looked upon me and all your  brothers in the perfect safety of the mind which created us. For we
Tx:12.18  of Him. You will find this place of truth as you see it in your  brothers, for though they may deceive themselves, like you they long
Tx:12.27  In effect, if you follow the ego's dictates, you will react to your  brothers as though they were someone else, and this will surely
Tx:12.34  were never real, for they are made up only of his reactions to his  brothers and do not include their reactions to him. Therefore he does
Tx:12.36  Yet what is within they do not see, for the reality of their  brothers they cannot see.
Tx:12.37  the figures of fear you have invited into it, and all the love your  brothers offer you, you do not see. As you look with open eyes upon
Tx:12.40 You will see all that you denied in your  brothers because you denied it in yourself. For you will love them,
Tx:12.46  holding it in your minds, see it as a dark cloud that shrouds your  brothers and conceals their reality from your sight.
Tx:12.51 The present offers you your  brothers in the light that would unite you with them and free you
Tx:12.52  salvation, for now is the release from time. Reach out to all your  brothers and touch them with the touch of Christ. In timeless union
Tx:12.52  There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is whole. Call all your  brothers to witness to his wholeness, as I am calling you to join
Tx:12.53 Shine on your  brothers in remembrance of your Creator, for you will remember Him as
Tx:12.56  dream of isolation because your eyes are closed. You do not see your  brothers, and in the darkness you cannot look upon the light you gave
Tx:12.75  that is the gift of God. Hold me dear, for what except your  brothers can you need? We will restore to you the peace of mind that
Tx:12.75  a veil of light across the world's sad face, in which we hide our  brothers from the world, and it from them.
Tx:13.8 When you have seen your  brothers as yourself, you will be released to knowledge, having
Tx:13.8  light you saw outside yourself in every miracle you offered to your  brothers will be returned to you. And knowing that the light is in

Tx:13.16  make you free of it, accept His offer of Atonement for all your  brothers. For so you learn that it is true for you. Remember always
Tx:13.18  you and bids you not to look. Instead, it bids you look upon your  brothers and see the guilt in them. Yet this you cannot do without
Tx:13.18  this you cannot do without remaining blind. For those who see their  brothers in the dark, and guilty in the dark in which they shroud
Tx:13.23  meaning in the present. Yet you let them stand between you and your  brothers, with whom you find no real relationships at all. Can you
Tx:13.23  you find no real relationships at all. Can you expect to use your  brothers as a means to “solve” the past and still to see them as they
Tx:13.23  as they really are? Salvation is not found by those who use their  brothers to resolve problems which are not there. You wanted not
Tx:13.28  not remember your Father's Love. And looking without mercy upon your  brothers, you do not remember how much you love Him. Yet it is
Tx:13.59  into the darkness and lets it shine on you. And as it shines, your  brothers see it, and realizing that this light is not what you have
Tx:13.62  Him in the holy task of bringing light to darkness. For, like your  brothers, you do not realize the light has come and freed you from
Tx:13.63 Behold your  brothers in their freedom and learn of them how to be free of
Tx:15.13  on behalf of your release while you are unwilling to give it to your  brothers on behalf of theirs. For the instant of holiness is shared,
Tx:15.18  you. You who have spent days, hours, and even years in chaining your  brothers to your egos in an attempt to support it and uphold its
Tx:15.18  Source of strength. In the holy instant, you will unchain all your  brothers and refuse to support either their weakness or your own.
Tx:15.19 You do not realize how much you have misused your  brothers by seeing them as sources of ego support. As a result, they
Tx:15.53  the frame of reference you have built by which to judge your  brothers. Once this is gone, the Holy Spirit substitutes His frame of
Tx:15.54  Yet in the holy instant, you unite directly with God, and all your  brothers join in Christ. Those who are joined in Christ are in no way
Tx:15.57  doubt. But forget not that my faith must be as perfect in all your  brothers as it is in you, or it would be a limited gift to you. In
Tx:15.60  The holy instant thus becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your  brothers in your mind, experiencing not loss, but completion. From
Tx:15.64  God is remembered, and the language of communication with all your  brothers is remembered with Him. For communication is remembered
Tx:15.64  vanishes. And this permits your Source and that of all your  brothers to replace it in your awareness. God and the power of God
Tx:15.85 As the ego would limit your perception of your  brothers to the body, so would the Holy Spirit release your vision
Tx:15.94  no attraction for you. For in our union, you will accept all of our  brothers. The gift of union is the only gift that I was born to give.
Tx:15.101  safety by attempting to protect yourself from where it is not. Your  brothers and your Father have become very fearful to you. And you
Tx:15.104  with God. Through guilt you exclude your Father and your  brothers from yourself. Through peace you invite them back and
Tx:15.108 The lesson I was born to teach and still would teach to all my  brothers is that sacrifice is nowhere and love is everywhere. For
Tx:16.37  with them is without guilt, and this enables you to look on all your  brothers with gratitude because your creations were created in union
Tx:16.63  the only value which the body has is to enable you to bring your  brothers to the bridge with you and to be released together there.
Tx:16.78  that must be forgiven are the illusions you have held against your  brothers. Their reality has no past, and only illusions can be
Tx:16.78  anyone, for He is incapable of illusions of any kind. Release your  brothers from the slavery of their illusions by forgiving them for
Tx:17.1  forgiven, but awakened. In his dreams he has betrayed himself, his  brothers, and his God. Yet what is done in dreams has not been really
Tx:17.26 My holy  brothers, I would enter into all your relationships and step between

Tx:18.10  the holy place in which you stand together. God is with you, my  brothers. Let us join in Him in peace and gratitude and accept His
Tx:19.37  try to impose. Others will seem to arise from elsewhere—from your  brothers and from various aspects of the world outside. Yet peace
Tx:19.39  apart from Him. You cannot see the Holy Spirit, but you can see your  brothers truly. And the light in them will show you all that you need
Tx:19.41  of sand, a wall of dust, a tiny seeming barrier, stand between your  brothers and salvation? And yet, it is this little remnant of attack
Tx:19.85  the life that He created against the ego's savage wish to kill. My  brothers, children of our Father, this is a dream of death. There is
Tx:19.101  all the pity and forgiveness that would heal it gives way to fear.  Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you will share in
Tx:20.26  free in Paradise. And here would I unite with you, my friends, my  brothers, and my Self. Your gift unto each other has given me the
Tx:20.34  only to have His laws perfectly fulfilled in them and all their  brothers. Think you when this has been achieved that you will rest
Tx:20.49  and seeks for crumbs to keep itself alive. Here it would drag its  brothers, holding them here in its idolatry. Here it is “safe,” for
Tx:20.51  seeming firm foundation of their temple begin to shake and loosen.  Brothers, you tremble with them. Yet what you fear is but the herald
Tx:21.7  so it is with all who see the body as all they have and all their  brothers have. They try to reach each other, and they fail and fail
Tx:21.34  wills for you. You made perception that you might choose among your  brothers and seek for sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees perception
Tx:21.36 Those who would free their  brothers from the body can have no fear. They have renounced the
Tx:21.36  to let all limitations be removed. Desiring to look upon their  brothers in holiness, the power of belief and faith goes far beyond
Tx:21.37  sacrifice, for this is how they think their purpose is accomplished.  Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice brings nothing. He
Tx:21.43  to bother to pretend it is your friend. Those who have joined their  brothers have detached themselves from their belief that their
Tx:22.1  to make a different error, and one the other cannot understand.  Brothers, it is the same, made by the same, and forgiven for its
Tx:22.2  them. Who has need for sin? Only the lonely and alone who see their  brothers different from themselves. It is this difference, seen but
Tx:22.12 Think what is given you, my holy  brothers. This child will teach you what you do not understand and
Tx:23.10  Brothers, the war against yourself is almost over. The journey's end
Tx:23.36  them. And when you look at what they say, they cannot be believed.  Brothers, you do believe them. For how else could you perceive the
Tx:23.40  Brothers, take not one step in the descent to hell. For having taken
Tx:24.24  here but unto you and you alone, apart and separate from all your  brothers, safe from all intrusions of sanity upon illusions, safe
Tx:24.46  that holds your brother's in your own. Christ's hand holds all His  brothers in Himself. He gives them vision for their sightless eyes
Tx:25.8  understand. Father and Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your  brothers join as one in truth. Christ and His Father never have been
Tx:25.85 Unless you think that all your  brothers have an equal right to miracles with you, you will not claim
Tx:27.15  really innocent. The sick remain accusers. They cannot forgive their  brothers and themselves as well. For no one in whom true forgiveness
Tx:28.34  of the world. The door is open, not to thieves but to your starving  brothers who mistook for gold the shining of a pebble and who stored
Tx:28.61 The beautiful relationship you have with all your  brothers is a part of you because it is a part of God Himself. Are
Tx:29.50  making real the pictures it projects outside itself? Save time, my  brothers; learn what time is for. And speed the end of idols in a
Tx:29.67  over. And the forms which enter in the dream are now perceived as  brothers, not in judgment but in love.
Tx:30.63 When  brothers join in purpose in the world of fear, they stand already at
Tx:30.88  so seemingly unsafe that fear must rise. Do not continue thus, my  brothers. We have one Interpreter. And through His use of symbols are
Tx:30.88  the same to all of us. Our common language lets us speak to all our  brothers and to understand with them forgiveness has been given to us
Tx:31.84  the saviors of the world, or would remain in hell and hold your  brothers there.
Tx:31.93  in you unveil his eyes and let him look upon the Christ in him. My  brothers in salvation, do not fail to hear my voice and listen to my
Tx:31.94  thorny roads we traveled on before the Christ appeared. Hear me, my  brothers, hear and join with me. God has ordained I cannot call in
Tx:31.95 I thank You, Father, for these holy ones who are my  brothers as they are Your Sons. My faith in them is Yours. I am as
Tx:31.96  can You fail in what is but Your Will? I give You thanks for what my  brothers are. And as each one elects to join with me, the song of
W1:57.6  of God's. I am very holy. As I share the peace of the world with my  brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep
W1:73.2  to traffic in grievances and stand between your awareness and your  brothers' reality. Beholding them, you do not know your brothers nor
W1:73.2  and your brothers' reality. Beholding them, you do not know your  brothers nor your Self.
W1:95.17  will be. You are One Self, the holy Son of God, united with your  brothers in this Self, united with your Father in His Will.
W1:97.11  you, reminding you that you are Spirit, one with Him and God, your  brothers and your Self. Listen for His assurance every time you speak
W1:105.7  will start a little differently. Begin today by thinking of those  brothers who have been denied by you the peace and joy that are their
W1:106.5  today. Today allow your Father's ancient pledge to you and all your  brothers to be kept. Hear Him today, and listen to the Word which
W1:109.9 You rest within the peace of God today and call upon your  brothers from your rest, to draw them to their rest along with you.
W1:109.10  them come from far across the world, and near as well—your distant  brothers and your closest friends—bid them all enter here and rest
W1:124.13 Let me remember I am one with God, at one with all my  brothers and my Self, in everlasting holiness and peace.
W1:126.11  aim which makes this day of special value to yourself and all your  brothers. Do not let your mind forget this goal for long, but tell
W1:127.10  Now are they all made free along with us. Now are they all our  brothers in God's Love.
W1:132.19 You need not realize that healing comes to many  brothers far across the world as well as to the ones you see near by
W1:134.14  practicing becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for all our  brothers, who will follow us to the reality we share with them.
W1:135.21  until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will our  brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed them
W1:137.17 When I am healed, I am not healed alone. And I would bless my  brothers, for I would be healed with them as they are healed with me.
W1:139.9 Fail not your  brothers, or you fail yourself. Look lovingly on them that they may
W1:139.12  are all minds as one and in our memory is the recall how dear our  brothers are to us in truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how
W1:153.11 It is the function of God's ministers to help their  brothers choose as they have done. God has elected all, but few have
W1:153.11  For you will not see the light until you offer it to all your  brothers. As they take it from your hands, so will you recognize it
W1:153.21  the love and strength and peace that shine from them to all their  brothers come from Him. These are His gifts to you. Defenselessness
W1:155.7  All this steps back as truth comes forth in you to lead your  brothers from the ways of death and set them on the way to happiness.
W1:155.9  to walk ahead of truth and let illusions be your guide. Your holy  brothers have been given you to follow in your footsteps as you walk
W1:155.11  not lose our way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before our  brothers who will follow us.
W1:155.13  Son. Forget not He has placed His hand in yours and given you your  brothers in His trust that you are worthy of His trust in you. He
W1:155.13  your pathway certain and your goal secure. You will not fail your  brothers nor your Self.
W1:161.4 One brother is all  brothers. Every mind contains all minds, for every mind is one. Such
W1:164.6  Brothers, this day is sacred to the world. Your vision, given you
W1:170.14  from You alone. We choose again and make our choice for all our  brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring them Your salvation
W1:R5.10  our time and effort to them. And together we will teach them to our  brothers. God would not have Heaven incomplete. It waits for you, as
W1:181.1 Trusting your  brothers is essential to establishing and holding up your faith in

W1:183.1  gives his son his name, and thus identifies the son with him. His  brothers share his name, and thus are they united in a bond to which
W1:185.13  He with you. And you will also know you share one will with all your  brothers, whose intent is yours.
W1:190.6 My holy  brothers, think of this awhile—the world you see does nothing. It
W1:191.12  the suffering there. Is not your heart willing to bring your weary  brothers rest?
W1:195.7 Then let our  brothers lean their tired heads against our shoulders as they rest a
W1:199.8  practice well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for today. Your  brothers stand released with you in it; the world is blessed along
W1:200.1 [181] I trust my  brothers, who are one with me. No one but is my brother. I am blessed
W2:247.2 So would I look on everyone today. My  brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood created them and gave them
W2:260.1  again before Christ's vision, through which I would look upon my  brothers and myself today.
W2:263.2  pass them by in innocence and walk together to our Father's house as  brothers and the holy Sons of God.
W2:264.2 My  brothers, join with me in this today. This is salvation's prayer.
W2:276.2  Your Word is mine. And it is this that I would speak to all my  brothers, who are given me to cherish as my own, as I am loved and
W2:315.2  gifts that come to me today and every day from every Son of God. My  brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me. Now may I offer them
W2:316.1 As every gift my  brothers give is mine, so every gift I give belongs to me. Each one
W2:317.1  will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my  brothers and already mine as well.
W2:324.1  loving Voice will always call me back and guide my feet aright. My  brothers all can follow in the way I lead them. Yet I merely follow
W2:325.1  home where he can rest a while before he journeys on and help his  brothers walk ahead with him and find the way to Heaven and to God.
W2:344.1  give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my forgiven  brothers fill my store with Heaven's treasures, which alone are real.
W2:WAI.3  And this, our gift, is therefore given us. We look on everyone as  brothers and perceive all things as kindly and as good. We do not
W2:WAI.4  world. And from the oneness that we have attained we call to all our  brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate our joy.
W2:FL.2  that truth points out to us. And let us be the leaders of our many  brothers who are seeking for the way but find it not.
M:4.13  is impossible. Judgment implies that you have been deceived in your  brothers. How then could you not have been deceived in yourself?
M:4.13  for who could judge otherwise? Without judgment are all men  brothers, for who is there who stands apart? Judgment destroys

Tx:2.72  the unimportant to a higher level than it warrants. You have thus  brought it under your will, where it does not belong. This means that

Tx:6.45  well, it would be glad, as the Holy Spirit will be glad when He has  brought you home and you no longer need His guidance. The ego does
Tx:8.5  its purpose, are you satisfied with the changes your learning has  brought you? Dissatisfaction with learning outcomes must be a sign of
Tx:8.65  Health is therefore nothing more than united purpose. If the body is  brought under the purpose of the mind, the body becomes whole,
Tx:10.51  the ego's goal, which you have pursued quite diligently, has [only]  brought you fear, and it becomes difficult to maintain that fear is
Tx:12.55  unlimited and spreads across this world in quiet joy. All those you  brought with you will shine on you, and you will shine on them in
Tx:12.55  shine on you, and you will shine on them in gratitude because they  brought you here. Your light will join with theirs in power so
Tx:13.37  is a sense of peace so deep that no dream in this world has ever  brought even a dim imagining of what it is.
Tx:14.17  nothing is fearful. Attack will always yield to love if it is  brought to love, not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the

Tx:14.24  knowledge or ignorance are yours, but not both. Opposites must be  brought together and not kept apart. For their separation is only in
Tx:14.24  when knowledge dawns. Perception is the medium by which ignorance is  brought to knowledge. Yet the perception must be without deceit, for
Tx:14.26  was not a point of view, but rather a certainty. Uncertainty  brought to certainty does not retain any conviction of reality.

Tx:14.35  You may choose to lead yourselves astray, but you can only be  brought together by the Guide appointed for you. He will surely lead
Tx:14.36  for truth. And truth will make this plain to you as you are  brought into the place where you must meet with truth. And there you

Tx:17.40  not perceived as fearful, but the fact that it is just a picture is  brought home at last. And what you see there, you will recognize as
Tx:17.60  helps you meet it. It is quite noticeable that this approach has  brought you closer to the Holy Spirit's sorting out of truth and
Tx:17.66  at all concerned with that. The error does not matter. Faithlessness  brought to faith will never interfere with truth. But faithlessness

Tx:18.6  and upside-down arose from this? [It was inevitable.] For truth  brought to this could only remain within in quiet and take no part in
Tx:18.11  love. Heaven has entered quietly, for all illusions have been gently  brought unto the truth in you and love has shined upon you, blessing

Tx:18.79  but they will not depart as they had come, alone. The love they  brought with them will stay with them, as it will stay with you. And
Tx:18.85  it. Be you not separate, for the One Who does surround it has  brought union to you, returning your little offering of darkness to
Tx:18.97  from the world of shadows, and its unholy purpose has been safely  brought through the barriers of guilt, washed with forgiveness, and
Tx:19.1  attained, for what is wholly dedicated to truth as its only goal is  brought to truth by faith. This faith encompasses everyone involved,

Tx:5.20  learners as they are as Souls. The Voice of the Holy Spirit is the  call to Atonement or the restoration of the integrity of the mind.
Tx:5.20  is complete and the whole Sonship is healed, there will be no  call to return, but what God creates is eternal. The Holy Spirit will
Tx:5.23  was not the voice of His Will for which the Holy Spirit speaks. The  call to return is stronger than the call to depart, but it speaks in
Tx:5.23  the Holy Spirit speaks. The call to return is stronger than the  call to depart, but it speaks in a different way.
Tx:5.26  as it is in Heaven. Both Heaven and earth are in you, because the  call of both is in your will and therefore in your mind. The Voice
Tx:5.26  voices, and you must choose at which altar you will to serve. The  call you answer now is an evaluation because it is a decision. The
Tx:5.26  The decision itself is very simple. It is made on the basis of which  call is worth more to you.
Tx:5.28  does not come from sleeping but from waking. The Holy Spirit is the  call to awake and be glad. The world is very tired, because it is the
Tx:5.28  idea of weariness. Our task is the joyous one of waking it to the  Call for God. Everyone will answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or
Tx:5.28  one of waking it to the Call for God. Everyone will answer the  Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as one. What better
Tx:5.29  as I am teaching you. When you are tempted by the wrong voice,  call on me to remind you how to heal by sharing my decision and
Tx:5.31  What we can accomplish together has no limits, because the  Call for God is the call to the unlimited. Child of God, my message
Tx:5.31  accomplish together has no limits, because the Call for God is the  call to the unlimited. Child of God, my message is for you to hear
Tx:5.33  of healing. Being thought, the idea gains as it is shared. Being the  Call for God, it is also the idea of God. Since you are part of God,
Tx:5.34 Your brother may have dissociated the  Call for God, just as you have. The dissociation is healed in both of
Tx:5.34  The dissociation is healed in both of you as you become aware of the  Call for God in him and thus acknowledge its being. There are two
Tx:5.40 The Holy Spirit is as vigilant as the ego to the  call of danger, opposing it with His strength, just as the ego
Tx:5.53  of the attraction of the parts of the Sonship, which hear the  call of the Holy Spirit to be as One.
Tx:5.54  teach what I have learned, which arose in me because I learned it. I  call upon you to teach what you have learned, because by so doing you
Tx:5.88  regress, the concept can also be interpreted as an irrevocable  call to sanity which the mind cannot lose. Freud himself could not
Tx:6.5 I have already told you that you can always  call on me to share my decision and thus make it stronger. I also
Tx:6.19  way, you are using it as a weapon for assault rather than as the  call for peace for which it was intended. The Apostles often
Tx:6.22  into the thought system toward which I am guiding you. I do not  call for martyrs but for teachers. No one is “punished” for sins, and
Tx:6.58  need not be afraid of dreams. Then when bad dreams come, they will  call on the light themselves to dispel them.
Tx:6.60  and those who lack wisdom are children. Yet He always answers their  call, and His dependability makes them more certain. Children do
Tx:6.60  among dreams. He merely shines them away. His light is always the  call to awake, whatever you have been dreaming. Nothing lasting lies
Tx:6.95  effort against it. Only this can cancel out the need for effort and  call upon the being which you both have and are. This recognition is
Tx:7.77  born of the [love of Him for whom] He speaks. Every attack is a  call for His patience, since only His patience can translate attack
Tx:7.110  and touch and remember are literally denying Heaven to yourselves. I  call upon you again to remember that I have chosen you to teach the
Tx:8.3  be removed from your mind for you. Every response to the ego is a  call to war, and war does deprive you of peace. Yet in this war there
Tx:8.15  runs easily and gladly through the Kingdom in answer to the  call of God. This is the natural response of every Son of God to the
Tx:8.74  of witnesses should be suspect from the beginning. The ego does not  call upon witnesses who would disagree with its case, nor does the
Tx:8.94  have. We have emphasized many times that the Holy Spirit will never  call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if you ask the sacrifice of
Tx:9.33  and your learning is the result of what you taught them. What you  call upon in them, you call upon in yourself. And as you call upon it
Tx:9.33  the result of what you taught them. What you call upon in them, you  call upon in yourself. And as you call upon it in them, it becomes
Tx:9.33  What you call upon in them, you call upon in yourself. And as you  call upon it in them, it becomes real to you. God has but one Son,
Tx:9.91  because it is the recognition that his brother can do it. It is a  call to the Holy Spirit in his mind, a call to Him which is
Tx:9.91  brother can do it. It is a call to the Holy Spirit in his mind, a  call to Him which is strengthened by this joining. Because the
Tx:9.92  is still as pure as the great light, because it is the remaining  call of creation. Put all your faith in it, and God Himself will
Tx:9.99 Your Father has not denied you. He does not retaliate, but He does  call to you to return. When you think He has not answered your call,
Tx:9.99  does call to you to return. When you think He has not answered your  call, you have not answered His. He calls to you from every part of
Tx:10.4  true Father, Who hath need of you as I have. Will you not answer the  call of love with joy?
Tx:10.67 You will awaken to your own  call, for the Call to awake is within you. If I live in you, you are
Tx:10.67 You will awaken to your own call, for the  Call to awake is within you. If I live in you, you are awake. Yet you
Tx:11.6 Whenever you fail to recognize a  call for help, you are refusing help. Would you maintain that you do
Tx:11.7  a brother in your way, for you cannot help yourselves. But hear his  call for the help of God, and you will recognize your own need for
Tx:11.8  to your awareness. For the sake of your need, then, hear every  call for help as what it is, so God can answer you.
Tx:11.10  is the ultimate value to you in learning to perceive attack as a  call for love. We have learned surely that fear and attack are
Tx:11.10  If only attack produces fear and if you see attack as the  call for help that it is, the unreality of fear must dawn upon you.
Tx:11.10  that it is, the unreality of fear must dawn upon you. For fear is a  call for love in unconscious recognition of what has been denied.
Tx:11.16 Perceive in sickness but another  call for love and offer your brother what he believes he cannot offer
Tx:11.16  in sickness the appeal for health is to recognize in hatred the  call for love. And to give a brother what he really wants is to offer
Tx:11.16  your Father wills you to know your brother as yourself. Answer his  call for love and yours is answered. Healing is the love of Christ
Tx:11.72  you called upon them and they will come to you. I have heard your  call and I have answered it, but you will not look upon me nor hear
Tx:12.12  obscures it, your love for your Father would impel you to answer His  call and leap into Heaven. You believe that attack is salvation to
Tx:12.13  real weakness. For you could not control your joyous response to the  call of love if you heard it, and the whole world you think you
Tx:12.18 Beneath all your grandiosity, which you hold so dear, is your real  call for help. For you call for love to your Father as your Father
Tx:12.18  which you hold so dear, is your real call for help. For you  call for love to your Father as your Father calls you to Himself. In
Tx:12.37  away from it. Yet fear attracts you, and believing it is love, you  call it to yourself. Your private world is filled with the figures of
Tx:12.51  and where there is no sight of what you were, you look at Christ and  call His witnesses to shine on you because you called them forth. And
Tx:12.52  only light. There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is whole.  Call all your brothers to witness to his wholeness, as I am calling
Tx:12.53  in remembrance of your Creator, for you will remember Him as you  call forth the witnesses to His creation. Those whom you heal bear
Tx:12.53  your Creator, He will return your thanks in His clear answer to your  call. For it can never be that His Son called upon Him and remained
Tx:12.53  never be that His Son called upon Him and remained unanswered. His  call to you is but your call to Him. And in Him you are answered by
Tx:12.53  called upon Him and remained unanswered. His call to you is but your  call to Him. And in Him you are answered by His peace.
Tx:12.55  give it, as it was given you. And as you give it, it shines forth to  call you from the world and follow it. For this light will attract
Tx:12.57  slept, Christ's vision did not leave him. And so it is that he can  call unto himself the witnesses that teach him that he never slept.
Tx:12.62  the power to touch you even here because you love it. And what you  call with love will come to you. Love always answers, being unable to
Tx:12.62  love will come to you. Love always answers, being unable to deny a  call for help or not to hear the cries of pain that rise to it from
Tx:12.67  real world is but your welcome of what always was. Therefore, the  call of joy is in it, and your glad response is your awakening to
Tx:13.15  for punishment instead of love. Nothing can justify insanity, and to  call for punishment upon yourself must be insane.
Tx:13.44  Son lose himself in dreams when God has placed within him the glad  call to waken and be glad? He cannot separate himself from what is in
Tx:13.44  himself from what is in him. His sleep will not withstand the  call to wake. The mission of redemption will be fulfilled as surely
Tx:14.8  keep it from his sight. Bring innocence to light in answer to the  call of the Atonement. Never allow purity to remain hidden, but shine
Tx:14.28  of them, according to His purpose, merely changes them into a  call for what you have attacked with them.
Tx:14.51 The miracle offers exactly the same response to every  call for help. It does not judge the call. It merely recognizes what
Tx:14.51  the same response to every call for help. It does not judge the  call. It merely recognizes what it is and answers accordingly. It
Tx:14.51  what it is and answers accordingly. It does not consider which  call is louder or greater or more important. You may wonder how you
Tx:14.51  limitless. And being always maximal, it offers everything to every  call from anyone. There is no order of difficulty here. A call for
Tx:14.51  to every call from anyone. There is no order of difficulty here. A  call for help is given help.
Tx:14.52  one division into two categories—one of love and the other the  call for love. You cannot safely make this division, for you are much

Tx:15.34  Call forth in everyone only the remembrance of God and of the Heaven
Tx:15.34  help your brother be, there will you think you are. Hear not his  call for hell and littleness, but only his call for Heaven and
Tx:15.34  you are. Hear not his call for hell and littleness, but only his  call for Heaven and greatness. Forget not that his call is yours, and
Tx:15.34  but only his call for Heaven and greatness. Forget not that his  call is yours, and answer him with me. God's power is forever on the
Tx:15.37  would join with me, by your decision to join in any plan but His. I  call you to fulfill your holy part in the plan that He has given to
Tx:15.39  the measure of the time in which the holy instant will be yours. I  call to you to make the holy instant yours at once, for the release
Tx:15.59  difficult to believe that, when another calls on God for love, your  call remains as strong. Nor do you think that, by God's answer to
Tx:16.40  seems to be. Love calls, but hate would have you stay. Hear not the  call of hate, and see no fantasies[, for your completion lies in
Tx:16.40  for your completion lies in truth and nowhere else]. See in the  call of hate and in every fantasy that rises to delay you but the
Tx:16.40  call of hate and in every fantasy that rises to delay you but the  call for help which rises ceaselessly from you to your Creator. Would
Tx:16.41  and then together we go straight to God in joyous answer to His  call for His completion.
Tx:16.42  from time into eternity. Waken from time and answer fearlessly the  call of Him Who gave eternity to you in your creation. On this side
Tx:16.69  for your release, His perfect willingness is given you.  Call upon Him, for Heaven is at His call. And let Him call on Heaven
Tx:16.69  willingness is given you. Call upon Him, for Heaven is at His  call. And let Him call on Heaven for you.
Tx:16.69  is given you. Call upon Him, for Heaven is at His call. And let Him  call on Heaven for you.
Tx:17.29  aim of occupying your minds so completely that you will not hear the  call of truth. In a sense the special relationship was the ego's
Tx:17.59  is whether or not the ego likes it—is it acceptable, or does it  call for vengeance? The absence of a criterion for outcome set in
Tx:17.67  grow to meet the goal that has been set. The goal's reality will  call this forth, for you will see that peace and faith will not come
Tx:17.69  so must its faith go everywhere with it. The goal's reality will  call forth and accomplish every miracle needed for its fulfillment.
Tx:17.72  or you are faithless to your own relationship. Your faith will  call the others to share your purpose, as this same purpose called
Tx:17.73 You  call for faith because of Him Who walks with you in every situation.
Tx:17.73  goal are set apart from loneliness because the truth has come. Its  call for faith is strong. Use not your faithlessness against it, for
Tx:17.74  withheld and left unused, that faith might answer to the  call of truth. The holy instant is the shining example, the clear and
Tx:17.75  is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it will  call forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace. But rise
Tx:17.77 To you who have acknowledged the  call of your Redeemer, the strain of not responding to His call seems
Tx:17.77  the call of your Redeemer, the strain of not responding to His  call seems to be greater than before. This is not so. Before, the
Tx:17.79  that could hold you back and keep you separate from Him Whose  call you answered.
Tx:18.6  take no part in all the mad projection by which this world was made.  Call it not sin but madness, for such it was, and so it still
Tx:18.12 Whom God has called should hear no substitutes. Their  call is but an echo of the original error which shattered Heaven. And
Tx:18.58  on you whom He encompasses? Everyone has experienced what he would  call a sense of being transported beyond himself. This feeling of
Tx:18.62  joined it where it is and where it led you in answer to its gentle  call to be at peace.
Tx:18.78  you have so little! Should it not, then, be there that you would  call on love to enter? Look at the desert, dry and unproductive,
Tx:19.28 Mistakes are for correction, and they  call for nothing else. What calls for punishment must call for
Tx:19.28  and they call for nothing else. What calls for punishment must  call for nothing. Every mistake must be a call for love. What, then,
Tx:19.28  calls for punishment must call for nothing. Every mistake must be a  call for love. What, then, is sin? What could it be but a mistake you
Tx:19.28  is sin? What could it be but a mistake you would keep hidden—a  call for help that you would keep unheard and thus unanswered? In
Tx:19.38 You will not wait to give him this, for you will  call to him and he will answer you, recognizing in your call the Call
Tx:19.38  for you will call to him and he will answer you, recognizing in your  call the Call of God. And you will draw him in and give him rest, as
Tx:19.38  call to him and he will answer you, recognizing in your call the  Call of God. And you will draw him in and give him rest, as it was
Tx:19.40  you keep it. You are the center from which it radiates outward to  call the others in. You are its home, its tranquil dwelling-place
Tx:19.44  you answered. For from you who answered, He Who answered you would  call. His home is in your holy relationship. Do not attempt to stand
Tx:19.79  leaves not its source. And death is the result of the thought we  call the ego as surely as life is the result of the Thought of God.
Tx:19.84 Those who fear death see not how often and how loudly they  call to it and bid it come to save them from communication. For death
Tx:19.92  out and unremembered. Here is your promise never to allow union to  call you out of separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of
Tx:20.38  speaks in time of what is far beyond it. Two voices raised together  call to the hearts of everyone and let them beat as one. And in that
Tx:20.71  unto the helpless? Is the pitifully little the perfect choice to  call upon for strength? Judgment will seem to make your savior weak.
Tx:21.59  correction. Reason will also tell you when you think you sin, you  call for help. Yet if you will not accept the help you call for, you
Tx:21.59  you sin, you call for help. Yet if you will not accept the help you  call for, you will not believe that it is yours to give. And so you
Tx:23.22  principle, closely related to the first, is the demand that errors  call for punishment and not correction. For the destruction of the
Tx:24.6  make them special is their enemy. Yet they protect its enmity and  call it “friend.” On its behalf they fight against the universe, for
Tx:24.15  You strain your ears to hear its soundless voice, and yet the  Call of God Himself is soundless to you.
Tx:24.32  peace and joy stand there beside the bier on which they sleep and  call them to come forth and waken from their dream of death. Yet they
Tx:24.32  hear nothing. They are lost in dreams of specialness. They hate the  call that would awaken them, and they curse God because He did not
Tx:25.1  that He may be made manifest to those who know Him not, that He may  call to them to come to Him and see Him where they thought their
Tx:25.39  there is no sin in him for you to see. Nor do you hear his plaintive  call, unchanged in content in whatever form the call is made, that
Tx:25.39  hear his plaintive call, unchanged in content in whatever form the  call is made, that you unite with him and join with him in innocence
Tx:25.39  and peace. And yet beneath the ego's senseless shrieks, such is the  call that God has given him that you might hear in him His Call to
Tx:25.39  is the call that God has given him that you might hear in him His  Call to you and answer by returning unto God what is His own.
Tx:25.73  and could not see his worth at all. What honest witnesses could they  call forth to speak on his behalf? And who would come to plead for
Tx:25.75  that He could not doubt His innocence. Your special function is a  call to Him that He may smile on you whose sinlessness He shares. His
Tx:26.15  you could not will he suffer loss. The miracle of justice you  call forth will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor will the Holy
Tx:26.54  It is the wish that you be joined with him and not apart. We  call it “wish” because it still conceives of other choices and has
Tx:26.67 Your ancient name belongs to everyone, as theirs to you.  Call on your brother's name and God will answer, for on Him you call.
Tx:26.67  you. Call on your brother's name and God will answer, for on Him you  call. Could He refuse to answer when He has already answered all who
Tx:26.67  call. Could He refuse to answer when He has already answered all who  call on Him? A miracle can make no change at all. But it can make
Tx:26.67 —the Son of God allowed to be himself and all creation freed to  call upon the Name of God as one.
Tx:26.77  brother, that you may awake in him the Voice that answers to your  call! And think how holy he must be when in him sleeps your own

Tx:27.55  of sin are all alike. Call pleasure pain, and it will hurt.  Call pain a pleasure, and the pain behind the pleasure will be felt
Tx:27.55  which is foremost makes no difference. Sin's witnesses hear but the  call of death.

Tx:28.57 The body represents the gap between the little bit of mind you  call your own and all the rest of what is really yours. You hate it,
Tx:28.61  yourself your wholeness and your health, the Source of help, the  Call to healing, and the Call to heal? Your savior waits for healing,
Tx:28.61  and your health, the Source of help, the Call to healing, and the  Call to heal? Your savior waits for healing, and the world waits with
Tx:30.33  born. God is no enemy to you. He asks no more than that He hear you  call Him “Friend.”
Tx:31.5  lessons in forgiveness have a power mightier than yours because they  call from God and from your Self to you.
Tx:31.8  appeal to be your friend and let it join with you. And never does a  call remain unheard, misunderstood, nor left unanswered in the
Tx:31.8  nor left unanswered in the selfsame tongue in which the  call was made. And you will understand it was this call that everyone
Tx:31.8  in which the call was made. And you will understand it was this  call that everyone and everything within the world has always made,
Tx:31.8  now you see you were mistaken. You had been deceived by forms the  call was hidden in. And so you did not hear it and had lost a friend
Tx:31.9  the universal will that it be whole and that you do not leave its  call unheard. Without your answer is it left to die, as it is saved
Tx:31.9  is saved from death when you have heard its calling as the ancient  call to life and understood that it is but your own. The Christ in
Tx:31.10  upon its father as itself. How wrong are you who fail to hear the  call that echoes past each seeming call to death, that sings behind
Tx:31.10  are you who fail to hear the call that echoes past each seeming  call to death, that sings behind each murderous attack and pleads
Tx:31.10  do not understand Who calls to you beyond each form of hate, each  call to war. Yet you will recognize Him as you give Him answer in the
Tx:31.11  if you believe you want disaster and disunity and pain. Hear not the  call for this within yourself. But listen, rather, to the deeper call
Tx:31.11  the call for this within yourself. But listen, rather, to the deeper  call beyond it that appeals for peace and joy. And all the world will
Tx:31.16 Perhaps you  call it love. Perhaps you think that it is murder justified at last.
Tx:31.22  in need of care. There will be no assault upon your wish to hear a  call that never has been made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy
Tx:31.23  that you taught yourself about the sinfulness in you. Hear but his  call for mercy and release from all the fearful images he holds of
Tx:31.78  innocence within and thus expect to see it everywhere. And so they  call it forth in everyone they look upon that he may be what they
Tx:31.94  me, my brothers, hear and join with me. God has ordained I cannot  call in vain, and in His certainty I rest content. For you will hear,
W1:15.2 This introductory idea to the process of image-making which you  call seeing will not have much meaning for you. You will begin to
W1:47.3  in every aspect of all situations, telling you exactly what to do to  call upon His strength and His protection. There are no exceptions
W1:49.2  where stillness and peace reign forever. Try to hear God's Voice  call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not
W1:51.5  not mean anything because I am trying to think without God. What I  call “my” thoughts are not my real thoughts. My real thoughts are the
W1:52.3  only the past. As I look about, I condemn the world I look upon. I  call this seeing. I hold the past against everyone and everything,
W1:54.4  world I see. Yet that sharing was a sharing of nothing. I can also  call upon my real thoughts, which share everything with everybody. As
W1:54.4  which share everything with everybody. As my thoughts of separation  call to the separation thoughts of others, so my real thoughts awaken
W1:59.3  God. Christ's vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me  call upon this gift today, so that this day may help me to understand
W1:60.5  the day. There is not a moment in which God's Voice ceases to  call on my forgiveness to save me. There is not a moment in which His
W1:62.3 Remember that in every attack you  call upon your own weakness, while every time you forgive you call
W1:62.3  you call upon your own weakness, while every time you forgive you  call upon the strength of Christ in you. Do you not then begin to
W1:69.7  up and carried ahead. Your little effort and small determination  call on the power of the universe to help you, and God Himself will
W1:73.2  to maintain it, peoples it with figures that seem to attack you and  call for “righteous” judgment. They become the middlemen the ego
W1:76.4 It is insanity that thinks these things. You  call them laws and put them under different names in a long catalogue
W1:78.5  even hate; someone you think you love who angers you; someone you  call a friend, but whom you see as difficult at times or hard to
W1:95.20  own acknowledgment you are One Self, united with your Father, is a  call to all the world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet
W1:98.4  will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn will hear the  call we heard and answer it, when they have come to make their choice
W1:105.11  give Him more. At least remember hourly to say the words which  call on Him to give you what He wills to give and wills you to
W1:106.1 If you will lay aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to  call; if you will not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing
W1:109.4  Yours is the rest of truth. Appearances cannot intrude on you. You  call to all to join you in your rest, and they will hear and come to
W1:109.9 You rest within the peace of God today and  call upon your brothers from your rest, to draw them to their rest
W1:121.12  this changed perception for a while, and turn your mind to one you  call a friend. Try to transfer the light you learned to see around
W1:127.8  Call to your Father, certain that His Voice will answer. He Himself

Tx:24.26  for he holds one error to himself as lovely still. And so he  calls it “unforgivable” and makes it sin. How can he then give his

Tx:28.9 What you remember never was. It  came from causelessness which you confused with cause. It can deserve

Tx:29.61  truth that you believe that it is not a dream. A dream of judgment  came into the mind that God created perfect as Himself. And in that

W1:100.9  that you find it here and that you find it now. For this you  came. Let this one be the day that you succeed! Look deep within you,
W1:106.10  long to be received by you. It will begin the ministry for which you  came and which will free the world from thinking giving is a way to
W1:107.1  no life, and so they disappear to nothingness, returning whence they  came. From dust to dust they come and go, for only truth remains.

W1:132.5 Perhaps you think you did not make the world but  came unwillingly to what was made already, hardly waiting for your
W1:132.5  meaning. Yet in truth you found exactly what you looked for when you  came. There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein lies
W1:139.8  goal that we accepted. It is more than just our happiness alone we  came to gain. What we accept as what we are proclaims what everyone

Tx:27.68 Once you were unaware of what the  cause of everything the world appeared to thrust upon you, uninvited
Tx:27.68  as making them, and their reality does not depend on him. Whatever  cause they have is something quite apart from him, and what he sees
Tx:27.70  the one alternative that you can choose, the other possibility of  cause if you be not the dreamer of your dreams. And this is what you
Tx:27.70  dreamer of your dreams. And this is what you choose if you deny the  cause of suffering is in your mind. Be glad indeed it is, for thus
Tx:27.71  could you doubt it while you lie asleep and dream in secret that its  cause is real?

Tx:27.73 You are the dreamer of the world of dreams. No other  cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more fearful than an idle dream
Tx:27.79  it try to teach again, and still again, and yet once more that it is  cause and not effect. And you are its effect and cannot be its cause.
Tx:27.79  it is cause and not effect. And you are its effect and cannot be its  cause.
Tx:27.81  world has ever had? Is it your wish to let no dream appear to be the  cause of what it is you do? Then let us merely look upon the dream's
Tx:27.81  beginning, for the part you see is but the second part, whose  cause lies in the first. No one asleep and dreaming in the world
Tx:27.82 We can remember this if we but look directly at their  cause. And we will see the grounds for laughter, not a cause for
Tx:27.82  at their cause. And we will see the grounds for laughter, not a  cause for fear. Let us return the dream he gave away unto the dreamer
Tx:27.83  of circularity whose ending starts at its beginning, ending at its  cause. The world you see depicts exactly what you thought you did.
Tx:27.84  to them. But once deluded into blaming them, you will not see the  cause of what they do because you want the guilt to rest on them. How
Tx:27.84  your eyes behold its heavy consequences, but without their trifling  cause. Without the cause do its effects seem serious and sad indeed.
Tx:27.84  heavy consequences, but without their trifling cause. Without the  cause do its effects seem serious and sad indeed. Yet they but
Tx:27.84  seem serious and sad indeed. Yet they but follow. And it is their  cause which follows nothing and is but a jest.
Tx:27.85 In gentle laughter does the Holy Spirit perceive the  cause and looks not to effects. How else could He correct your error,
Tx:27.85  How else could He correct your error, who have overlooked the  cause entirely? He bids you bring each terrible effect to Him that
Tx:27.85  terrible effect to Him that you may look together on its foolish  cause and laugh with Him a while. You judge effects, but He has
Tx:27.85  laugh with Him a while. You judge effects, but He has judged their  cause. And by His judgment are effects removed. Perhaps you come in
Tx:27.86  and of attacker, still is this the truth. Whatever seems to be the  cause of any pain and suffering you feel, this is still true. For you
Tx:27.87  with this very simple truth. For this one answer takes away the  cause of every form of sorrow and of pain. The form affects His
Tx:27.87  affects His answer not at all, for He would teach you but the single  cause of all of them, no matter what their form. And you will
Tx:27.89  and He will teach you how each one is caused. None has a different  cause from all the rest, and all of them are easily undone by but a
Tx:28.1  past is gone, and what has truly gone has no effects. Remembering a  cause can but produce illusions of its presence, not effects.
Tx:28.2  guilt is over. In its passing went its consequences, left without a  cause. Why would you cling to it in memory if you did not desire its
Tx:28.5  their effects appear to be increased by time, which took away their  cause.
Tx:28.6  a consequence in which no change can be made possible because its  cause has gone. Yet change must have a cause that will endure or else
Tx:28.6  be made possible because its cause has gone. Yet change must have a  cause that will endure or else it will not last. No change can be
Tx:28.6  else it will not last. No change can be made in the present if its  cause is past. Only the past is held in memory as you make use of it,
Tx:28.7  one? When ancient memories of hate appear, remember that their  cause is gone. And so you cannot understand what they are for. Let
Tx:28.7  is gone. And so you cannot understand what they are for. Let not the  cause that you would give them now be what it was which made them
Tx:28.7  what you would be pardoned from. And see instead the new effects of  cause accepted now, with consequences here. They will surprise you
Tx:28.7  The ancient new ideas they bring will be the happy consequences of a  cause so ancient that it far exceeds the span of memory which your
Tx:28.8 This is the  Cause the Holy Spirit has remembered for you, when you would forget.
Tx:28.8  indeed seem new because you thought that you remembered not their  Cause. Yet was It never absent from your mind, for it was not your
Tx:28.9  never was. It came from causelessness which you confused with  cause. It can deserve but laughter when you learn you have remembered
Tx:28.9  causeless and could never be effects. The miracle reminds you of a  Cause forever present, perfectly untouched by time and interference—
Tx:28.10  to be healed. In quietness, see in the miracle a lesson in allowing  Cause to have Its own effects and doing nothing that would interfere.
Tx:28.11  minds to be. Born out of sharing, there can be no pause in time to  cause the miracle delay in hastening to all unquiet minds and
Tx:28.13  it not. And what is now remembered is not fear, but rather is the  cause that fear was made to render unremembered and undone. The
Tx:28.14 Now is the Son of God at last aware of present  Cause and Its benign effects. Now does he understand what he has made
Tx:28.14  he never had a need for doing anything and never did. His  Cause is Its effects. There never was a cause beside It that could
Tx:28.14  anything and never did. His Cause is Its effects. There never was a  cause beside It that could generate a different past or future. Its
Tx:28.16 Without a  cause there can be no effects, and yet without effects there is no
Tx:28.16  a cause there can be no effects, and yet without effects there is no  cause. The cause a cause is made by its effects; the Father is a
Tx:28.16  can be no effects, and yet without effects there is no cause. The  cause a cause is made by its effects; the Father is a father by His
Tx:28.16  no effects, and yet without effects there is no cause. The cause a  cause is made by its effects; the Father is a father by His Son.
Tx:28.16  the Father is a father by His Son. Effects do not create their  cause, but they establish its causation. Thus, the Son gives
Tx:28.17  it and where all healing is. Where then is healing? Only where its  cause is given its effects. For sickness is a meaningless attempt to
Tx:28.17  attempt to give effects to causelessness and make it be a  cause.
Tx:28.18 Always in sickness does the Son of God attempt to make himself his  cause and not allow himself to be his Father's Son. For this
Tx:28.18  desire, he does not believe that he is Love's effect and must be  cause because of what he is. The cause of healing is the only Cause
Tx:28.18  he is Love's effect and must be cause because of what he is. The  cause of healing is the only Cause of everything. It has but one
Tx:28.18  be cause because of what he is. The cause of healing is the only  Cause of everything. It has but one effect. And in that recognition,
Tx:28.19  It is but an effect which you have caused, and you would not be  cause of this effect.
Tx:28.21 What else could be expected from a thing that has no  cause? Yet if it has no cause, it has no purpose. You may cause a
Tx:28.21  could be expected from a thing that has no cause? Yet if it has no  cause, it has no purpose. You may cause a dream, but never will you
Tx:28.21  has no cause? Yet if it has no cause, it has no purpose. You may  cause a dream, but never will you give it real effects. For that
Tx:28.21  but never will you give it real effects. For that would change its  cause, and it is this you cannot do. The dreamer of a dream is not
Tx:28.21  of himself as sick or well, depressed or happy, but without a stable  cause with guaranteed effects.
Tx:28.22  hands. As victim, he is suffering from its effects but not their  cause. He authored not his own attack, and he is innocent of what he
Tx:28.22  nothing but to show him that he has done nothing. What he fears is  cause without the consequences which would make it cause. And so it
Tx:28.22  What he fears is cause without the consequences which would make it  cause. And so it never was.
Tx:28.23  to prove the dreamer could not be the maker of the dream. Effect and  cause are first split off and then reversed, so that effect becomes a
Tx:28.23  are first split off and then reversed, so that effect becomes a  cause; the cause, effect.
Tx:28.23  split off and then reversed, so that effect becomes a cause; the  cause, effect.
Tx:28.24  This final step is an effect of what has gone before, appearing as a  cause. The miracle is the first step in giving back to cause the
Tx:28.24  as a cause. The miracle is the first step in giving back to  cause the function of causation, not effect. For this confusion has
Tx:28.26 The miracle returns the  cause of fear to you who made it. But it also shows that, having no
Tx:28.26  who made it. But it also shows that, having no effects, it is not  cause because the function of causation is to have effects. And where
Tx:28.26  is to have effects. And where effects are gone, there is no  cause. Thus is the body healed by miracles because they show the mind
Tx:28.27  the glad effects of taking back the consequence of sickness to its  cause. The body is released because the mind acknowledges “this is
Tx:28.29  separate points of view. Uniting with a brother's mind prevents the  cause of sickness and perceived effects. Healing is the effect of
Tx:28.30  him to his own dream by sharing it with him. He has not seen the  cause of sickness where it is, and you have overlooked the gap
Tx:28.31  is a wish to keep apart and not to join. And thus it seems to give a  cause to sickness which is not its cause. The purpose of the gap is
Tx:28.31  join. And thus it seems to give a cause to sickness which is not its  cause. The purpose of the gap is all the cause that sickness has. For
Tx:28.31  sickness which is not its cause. The purpose of the gap is all the  cause that sickness has. For it was made to keep you separated in a
Tx:28.31  made to keep you separated in a body which you see as if it were the  cause of pain.
Tx:28.32 The  cause of pain is separation, not the body, which is only its effect.
Tx:28.35  you, join your brother there. And sickness will be seen without a  cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness lies and gently shows you
Tx:28.41  shares a dream must be the dream he shares because by sharing is a  cause produced.
Tx:28.43  to be a sick and separated mind cannot remain without a witness or a  cause. And both are gone if someone wills to be united with him. He
Tx:29.5 The body could not separate your minds unless you wanted it to be a  cause of separation and of distance seen between you. Thus do you
Tx:29.10  offered you. Yet though you do not see them, they are there. Their  cause has been effected, and they must be present where their cause
Tx:29.10  Their cause has been effected, and they must be present where their  cause has entered in.
Tx:29.11 You have accepted healing's  Cause, and so it must be you are healed. And being healed, the power

Tx:29.11  suddenly, as an effect without a cause. Nor is it in itself a  cause. But where its cause is must it be. Now is it caused, though

Tx:29.11  Look inward now, and you will not behold a reason for regret but  cause indeed for glad rejoicing and for hope of peace.

W1:8.1  projected outward. The mind's preoccupation with the past is the  cause of the total misconception about time from which your seeing
W1:13.8  it may arouse. This is our first attempt at stating an explicit  cause and effect relationship of a kind which you are very

W1:17.1  it is the way you think. If it were not so, perception would have no  cause and would itself be the cause of reality. In view of its highly
W1:17.1  were not so, perception would have no cause and would itself be the  cause of reality. In view of its highly variable nature, this is
W1:19.1  matter. Thinking and its results are really simultaneous, for  cause and effect are never separate.
W1:20.5  and you will. What you desire, you will see. Such is the real law of  cause and effect as it operates in the world.
W1:23.2 If the  cause of the world you see is attack thoughts, you must learn that it

W1:23.4  You cannot be saved from the world, but you can escape from its  cause. This is what salvation means, for where is the world you see
W1:23.4  is what salvation means, for where is the world you see when its  cause is gone? Vision already holds a replacement for everything you
W1:23.5  thought that you are not trapped in the world you see, because its  cause can be changed. This change requires, first, that the cause be

W1:190.5 It is your thoughts alone that  cause you pain. Nothing external to your mind can hurt or injure you
W1:190.5  external to your mind can hurt or injure you in any way. There is no  cause beyond yourself that can reach down and bring oppression. No

W2:307.1  Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will  cause me pain. Your will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours
W2:WILJ.2  as totally forgiven, without sin and wholly purposeless. Without a  cause and now without a function in Christ's sight, it merely slips

Tx:26.72  a cause? And who could fear effects unless he thought they had been  caused and judged disastrous now? Belief in sin arouses fear and,
Tx:27.71  started by your secret dream, which you do not perceive, although it  caused the part you see and do not doubt is real. How could you doubt
Tx:27.89  differences where none exist, and He will teach you how each one is  caused. None has a different cause from all the rest, and all of them
Tx:28.6  can restore. And yet you make strange use of it, as if the past had  caused the present, which is but a consequence in which no change can

causeless (17)

Tx:13.72  you teach yourself that what is not of God has power over you. The  causeless cannot be. Do not attest to it, and do not foster belief in
Tx:13.72  communication with this oneness only when you learn to deny the  causeless and accept the Cause of God as yours. The power that God
Tx:17.71  Yet you are as innocent of what you were as he is. What never was is  causeless and is not there to interfere with truth. There is no cause
Tx:27.31  cause at all. Who can perceive effect without a cause? What can the  causeless be but nothingness? The picture of your brother that you

Tx:28.10  There was no time in which His Son could be condemned for what was  causeless and against His Will. What your remembering would witness
Tx:28.14  and Its benign effects. Now does he understand what he has made is  causeless, making no effects at all. He has done nothing. And in
Tx:28.15 What has been lost, to see the  causeless not? And where is sacrifice, when memory of God has come to

Tx:28.9 What you remember never was. It came from  causelessness which you confused with cause. It can deserve but

Tx:17.2 It is, then, only your wish to  change reality that is fearful, because by your wish you think you

Tx:19.27  stop and let it go unless the guilt remains. For then you will but  change the form of sin, granting that it was an error but keeping it
Tx:19.27  it was an error but keeping it uncorrectable. This is not really a  change in your perception, for it is sin that calls for punishment,
Tx:19.29  easily corrected in the mind, although the body's eyes will see no  change. The eyes see many things the mind corrects, and you respond,

Tx:20.16 The belief in sin is an adjustment. And an adjustment is a  change; a shift in perception or a belief that what was so before has
Tx:20.16  Knowledge requires no adjustment and in fact is lost if any shift or  change is undertaken. For this reduces it at once to mere perception
Tx:20.59 The period of discomfort that follows the sudden  change in a relationship from sin to holiness should now be almost
Tx:20.77 When you have looked on what seemed terrifying and seen it  change to sights of loveliness and peace; when you have looked on

Tx:24.36  Nothing could make more sense to miracles. For miracles are merely  change of purpose from hurt to healing.
Tx:25.12  as you perceive it. Yet it must be evident the outcome does not  change. Despite your hopes and fancies, always does despair result.

Tx:25.13  the chance of change in this respect is hardly worth delaying  change that might result in better outcome? For one thing is sure—
Tx:25.30  not be there in yours. Sin is the fixed belief perception cannot  change. What has been damned is damned and damned forever, being
Tx:25.30  it is forgiven, sin's perception must have been wrong. And thus is  change made possible. The Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far
Tx:25.30  The Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far beyond the chance of  change. But on His vision sin cannot encroach, for sin has been
Tx:25.30  is attacked by punishment and so preserved. But to forgive it is to  change its state from error into truth.
Tx:25.32  that makes the choice of means inevitable and beyond the hope of  change unless the aim is changed. And then the means are chosen once
Tx:25.50  cannot be a sin. Sin is the one thing in all the world that cannot  change. It is immutable. And on its changelessness the world depends.

Tx:25.54 The Holy Spirit has the power to  change the whole foundation of the world you see to something else—
Tx:26.10  and through the same approach. The aspects which need solving do not  change, whatever form the problem seems to take. A problem can appear
Tx:26.24  this like your special function, where the separation is undone by  change of purpose in what once was specialness and now is union? All
Tx:26.28  that what he fear[s,] he loves the most. What but a miracle could  change his mind, so that he understands that love cannot be feared?
Tx:26.36  this dream be to where he really is? For this is fact and does not  change whatever dreams he has. Yet can he still imagine he is
Tx:26.37  And how much can his own delusions about time and place affect a  change in where he really is? The unforgiven is a voice that calls
Tx:26.41 The shadow voices do not  change the laws of time or of eternity. They come from what is past

Tx:26.73 Yet the acceptance of the working out can seem to take forever. The  change of purpose the Holy Spirit brought to your relationship has in

Tx:28.6  must have a cause that will endure or else it will not last. No  change can be made in the present if its cause is past. Only the past
Tx:28.19  caused the dream and can accept another dream as well. But for this  change in content of the dream, it must be realized that it is you
Tx:28.21  a dream, but never will you give it real effects. For that would  change its cause, and it is this you cannot do. The dreamer of a

Tx:29.39  nor set the hour of his birth and death. Forgiveness will not  change him. Yet time waits upon forgiveness that the things of time

Tx:30.89  think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to form and capable of  change. Reality is changeless. It is this that makes it real and

Tx:31.68  too alien to your thinking to be helpful nor to make the kinds of  change you could not recognize. Concepts are needed while perception

Tx:16.22  results because its decisions are immediately accepted as your  choice. And this acceptance means that you are willing to judge
Tx:16.33  are trying to live with guilt rather than die of it. This is the  choice they see. And love to them is only an escape from death. They

Tx:16.34  possible is which illusion you prefer. There is no conflict in the  choice between truth and illusion. Seen in these terms, no one would

Tx:16.56  denying truth, and so are making yourself unable to make the simple  choice between truth and illusion, God and fantasy. Remember this and
Tx:16.57  whether or not to listen to this course and follow it is but the  choice between truth and illusion. For here is truth separated from
Tx:16.58 How simple does this  choice become when it is perceived as only what it is. For only
Tx:16.70  you have for choosing a special partner without the past? Every such  choice is made because of something “evil” in the past to which you
Tx:17.25  one you choose you will endow with beauty and reality because the  choice depends on which you value more. The spark of beauty or the
Tx:17.52  the Sonship is the song of freedom heard in joyous echo of your  choice. You have joined with many in the holy instant, and they have
Tx:17.52  in the holy instant, and they have joined with you. Think not your  choice will leave you comfortless, for God Himself has blessed your
Tx:18.22  between dreams you do not see that you have made, at last, the  choice between the truth and all illusions.
Tx:19.24  Yet think you carefully before you allow yourself to make this  choice. Approach it not lightly, for it is the choice of hell or
Tx:19.24  yourself to make this choice. Approach it not lightly, for it is the  choice of hell or Heaven.
Tx:19.70 Here is your  choice, and it is free. But all that lies in it will come with it,

Tx:21.33  for losing certainty and finding sin. This mad direction was your  choice, and by your faith in what you chose, you made what you
Tx:21.49  and senseless ravings to those who want to hear it. Perception is a  choice and not a fact. But on this choice depends far more than you
Tx:21.49  want to hear it. Perception is a choice and not a fact. But on this  choice depends far more than you may realize as yet. For on the voice
Tx:21.50  itself. But your awareness of it needs your help because it is your  choice. Listen to what the ego says and see what it directs you see,
Tx:21.51  and another Voice in which your freedom lies awaiting but your  choice. And if you place your faith in them, you will perceive
Tx:21.64  the Son of God to what can never be corrected. You tell him by your  choice that he is damned—separate from you and from his Father
Tx:21.64  he is as you would have him, and what you choose he be is but your  choice for you. Yet think not this is fearful. That you are joined to
Tx:21.77 Forget not that the  choice of truth or sin, power or helplessness, is the choice of
Tx:21.77  not that the choice of truth or sin, power or helplessness, is the  choice of whether to attack or heal. For healing comes of power and

Tx:22.23  he will do it is beyond your understanding, but when must be your  choice. For time you made, and time you can command. You are no more
Tx:22.39  although you still may think you can go back and make the other  choice. This is not so. A choice made with the power of Heaven to
Tx:22.39  think you can go back and make the other choice. This is not so. A  choice made with the power of Heaven to uphold it cannot be undone.
Tx:22.51  it possible of mind or body, and he will make the other serve his  choice as means to find it.

Tx:23.24  for His belief. His Son can tell Him this, and He has but the  choice whether to take his word for it or be mistaken. This leads
Tx:23.51  real. Here you have chosen to be part of it. Here murder is your  choice. Yet from above, the choice is miracles instead of murder. And
Tx:23.51  to be part of it. Here murder is your choice. Yet from above, the  choice is miracles instead of murder. And the perspective coming from
Tx:23.51  is miracles instead of murder. And the perspective coming from this  choice shows you the battle is not real and easily escaped. Bodies
Tx:23.51  in it? How can the truth of miracles be recognized if murder is your  choice?
Tx:23.55  wanted more? Who with the love of God upholding him could find the  choice of miracles or murder hard to make?
Tx:24.57  a purpose and without accomplishment of any kind, is all the other  choice can offer you. Futility of function not fulfilled will haunt
Tx:24.65  think you save, you hurt. What would you save it for? For in that  choice lie both its health and harm. Save it for show, as bait to
Tx:24.72  serve another goal. It is not bound to specialness but by your  choice. And it is given you to make a different choice and use
Tx:24.72  but by your choice. And it is given you to make a different  choice and use perception for a different purpose. And what you see
Tx:25.6 Perception is a  choice of what you want yourself to be—the world you want to live
Tx:25.13  no hope lies must make you hopeless. Yet is this hopelessness your  choice, while you would seek for hope where none is ever found.
Tx:25.28  time he chooses can be any time, for help is there, awaiting but his  choice. And when he chooses to avail himself of what is given him,
Tx:25.29  two questions are the same. And when you see them as the same, your  choice is made. For it is seeing them as one that brings release from
Tx:25.31  or damned? Forgetting not that what he is to you will make this  choice your future? For you make it now, the instant when all time
Tx:25.31  when all time becomes a means to reach a goal. Make then your  choice. But recognize that in this choice the purpose of the world

Tx:25.47  perfect form, can he yet do one perfect thing and make one perfect  choice. And by this act of special faithfulness to one perceived as
Tx:25.48  to be the means for his salvation from the very instant that the  choice was made. His special sin was made his special grace. His
Tx:25.49  made can serve salvation easily and well. The Son of God can make no  choice the Holy Spirit cannot employ on his behalf and not against

Tx:25.56  to those who are insane requires special choice. Nor can this  choice be made by the insane, whose problem is their choices are not
Tx:25.57  who chose insanity as his salvation. To this One is given the  choice of form most suitable to him; one which will not attack the
Tx:26.18  in Him? What is there to decide? For it is conflict that makes  choice [complex]. The truth is simple—it is one, without an
Tx:26.20  where Oneness is. Salvation is a borderland where place and time and  choice have meaning still, and yet it can be seen that they are
Tx:26.20  yet it can be seen that they are temporary, out of place, and every  choice has been already made.
Tx:26.21  what is different remain unclear. The one essential thing to make a  choice at all is this distinction. And herein lies the difference
Tx:26.21  And herein lies the difference between the worlds. In this one,  choice is made impossible. In the real world is choosing simplified.
Tx:26.22  Heaven was never lost and so cannot be saved. Yet who can make a  choice between the wish for Heaven and the wish for hell unless he
Tx:26.22  is the same and what is different, leaving room to make the only  choice which can be made.
Tx:26.23 There is no basis for  choice in this complex and over-complicated world. For no one
Tx:26.23  For no one understands what is the same and seems to choose where no  choice really is. The real world is the area of choice made real, not
Tx:26.23  to choose where no choice really is. The real world is the area of  choice made real, not in the outcome but in the perception of
Tx:26.23  real, not in the outcome but in the perception of alternatives for  choice. That there is choice is an illusion. Yet within this one lies
Tx:26.23  but in the perception of alternatives for choice. That there is  choice is an illusion. Yet within this one lies the undoing of every
Tx:26.24  choose between them and to make them different. [How simple is the  choice between two things so clearly unalike.] There is no conflict
Tx:26.30  There are but two directions you can take while time remains and  choice is meaningful. For never will another road be made except the
Tx:26.54  of other choices and has not yet reached beyond the world of  choice entirely.
Tx:27.35  has come, not to destroy, but to receive Its own. There is no  choice of function anywhere. The choice you fear to lose you never
Tx:27.35  but to receive Its own. There is no choice of function anywhere. The  choice you fear to lose you never had. Yet only this appears to
Tx:27.63  clouds, the problem will emerge in all its primitive simplicity. The  choice will not be difficult, because the problem is absurd when
Tx:27.70  it is, for thus are you the one decider of your destiny in time. The  choice is yours to make between a sleeping death and dreams of evil
Tx:27.70  or sleeping, peace or war, your dreams or your reality? Yet if the  choice is really given you, then you must see the causes of the
Tx:27.71 An honest  choice could never be perceived as one in which the choice is split
Tx:27.71 An honest choice could never be perceived as one in which the  choice is split between a tiny you and an enormous world, with
Tx:27.74  terror and in fear of death. He brings forgiving dreams in which the  choice is not who is the murderer and who shall be the victim. In the
Tx:28.19  but merely shows you who the dreamer is. It teaches you there is a  choice of dreams while you are still asleep, depending on the purpose
Tx:28.27  suffering, of sin and guilt. They are the dream's alternative, the  choice to be the dreamer rather than deny the active role in making
Tx:28.27  me, but I am doing this.” And thus the mind is free to make another  choice instead. Beginning here, salvation will proceed to change the
Tx:28.47  his mind from sharing them is sharing Him. There is no other  choice. Except you share it, nothing can exist. And you exist because
Tx:28.55  it has no feeling. It behaves in ways you want but never makes the  choice. It is not born and does not die. It can but follow aimlessly
Tx:28.62  your brother, or you are as one. There is no in between, no other  choice, and no allegiance to be split between the two. A split
Tx:28.63  have chosen that it not be sick. All miracles are based upon this  choice and given you the instant it is made. No forms of sickness are
Tx:28.63  the instant it is made. No forms of sickness are immune because the  choice cannot be made in terms of form. The choice of sickness seems
Tx:28.63  are immune because the choice cannot be made in terms of form. The  choice of sickness seems to be a form, yet it is one, as is its
Tx:29.10  way that you have chosen. And you will not see the many gains your  choice has offered you. Yet though you do not see them, they are
Tx:29.25  Could it be some dreams are kept and others wakened from? The  choice is not between which dreams to keep, but only if you want to

Tx:30.54  the mind that wants to be deceived. And you can make a simple  choice that will forever place you far beyond deception. You need not
Tx:31.11  it is a state of mind unwanted that becomes the means whereby the  choice is reassessed; another outcome seen to be preferred. You are
Tx:31.14  you can look past them to the one alternative that is a different  choice. But not in dreams you made that this might be obscured to you.
Tx:31.15 What you would choose between is not a  choice and gives but the illusion it is free, for it will have one
Tx:31.15  for it will have one outcome either way. Thus is it really not a  choice at all. The leader and the follower emerge as separate roles,
Tx:31.17  him. Two calls you make to him, as he to you. Between these two is  choice because from them there is a different outcome. If he be the
Tx:31.23  follows. Thus it is a way you go together, not alone. And in this  choice is learning's outcome changed, for Christ has been reborn to
Tx:31.26 Only the self-accused condemn. As you prepare to make a  choice that will result in different outcomes, there is first one
Tx:31.33  purpose is to keep. Why should this be? Because it is a place where  choice among illusions seems to be the only choice. And you are in
Tx:31.33  it is a place where choice among illusions seems to be the only  choice. And you are in control of outcomes of your choosing. Thus you
Tx:31.34 Real  choice is no illusion. But the world has none to offer. All its roads

Tx:31.34  differently they seem to go. Their end is certain, for there is no  choice among them. All of them will lead to death. On some you travel
Tx:31.34  the bleakness enters. And on some the thorns are felt at once. The  choice is not what will the ending be but when it comes.
Tx:31.35 There is no  choice where every end is sure. Perhaps you would prefer to try them
Tx:31.35  reach this point and go beyond it. It is true indeed there is no  choice at all within the world. But this is not the lesson in itself.
Tx:31.37  begin with this, to seek another way instead? For while he sees a  choice where there is none, what power of decision can he use? The
Tx:31.37  And what decision has power if it be applied in situations without  choice?
Tx:31.38 The learning that the world can offer but one  choice, no matter what its form may be, is the beginning of
Tx:31.40 There is a  choice which you have power to make when you have seen the real
Tx:31.40  seen the real alternatives. Until that point is reached, you have no  choice, and you can but decide how you would choose the better to
Tx:31.54  self from what is wholly passive and at least makes way for active  choice and some acknowledgment that interaction must have entered in.
Tx:31.55  to the second from the first is that you somehow entered in the  choice by your decision. But this gain is paid in almost equal loss,
Tx:31.56  but with the simple statement that it thinks. And what can think has  choice and can be shown that different thoughts have different
Tx:31.62  must be false, for what is real denies its opposite. There is no  choice in vision but this one. What you decide in this determines all
Tx:31.62  all you see and think is real and hold as true. On this one  choice does all your world depend, for here have you established what
Tx:31.64  and perceive the body not. It merely asks that this should be your  choice. For you can see the body without help but do not understand
Tx:31.79  can look with love or look with hate, depending only on the simple  choice of whether you would join with what you see or keep yourself
Tx:31.86 How do you make the  choice? How easily is this explained! You always choose between your

Tx:31.91  appeared to be before the choice for holiness was made. For in that  choice are false distinctions gone, illusory alternatives laid by,
Tx:31.92  Choose once again what you would have him be, remembering that every  choice you make establishes your own identity as you will see it and

W1:130.11  you see, and only what you see. Perception is consistent with your  choice, and hell or Heaven comes to you as one.
W1:130.12  indeed. Yet the release of Heaven still remains within your range of  choice to take the place of everything that hell would show to you.
W1:133.4 The laws which govern  choice you cannot make, no more than you can make alternatives from
W1:133.5  to you to let alternatives be limitless and thus delay your final  choice until you had considered all of them in time and not been
W1:133.5  and not been brought so clearly to the place where there is but one  choice that must be made.
W1:133.6  kindly and related law is that there is no compromise in what your  choice must bring. It cannot give you just a little, for there is no
W1:133.6  It cannot give you just a little, for there is no in-between. Each  choice you make brings everything to you or nothing. Therefore, if
W1:133.6  can distinguish everything from nothing, you will make the better  choice.
W1:133.9  next consideration is the one on which the others rest. Why is the  choice you make of value to you? What attracts your mind to it? What
W1:133.12 And so we come to the criterion for  choice which is the hardest to believe, because its obviousness is
W1:133.12  with many levels of obscurity. If you feel any guilt about your  choice, you have allowed the ego's goals to come between the real
W1:134.10 Thus will you see alternatives for  choice in terms which render choosing meaningful and keep your mind
W1:135.17  the basis for its future goals. Its past experience directs its  choice of what will happen. And it does not see that here and now is
W1:136.3  you choose to use them. In that second, even less, in which the  choice is made, you recognize exactly what you would attempt to do
W1:136.8  unsought, which makes you weak and brings you suffering. It is a  choice you make, a plan you lay when for an instant truth arises in
W1:136.10  than the truth, which asks you live but cannot overcome your  choice to die. And so the body is more powerful than everlasting
W1:137.12  Ask the inevitable to occur, and you will never fail. The other  choice is but to ask what cannot be to be, and this cannot succeed.
W1:138.1 In this world, Heaven is a  choice because here we believe there are alternatives to choose
W1:138.2 It is this strange perception of the truth that makes the  choice of Heaven seem to be the same as the relinquishment of hell.
W1:138.3  Choice is the obvious escape from what appears as opposites. Decision
W1:138.4  there is really only one to make. And even this but seems to be a  choice. Do not confuse yourself with all the doubts that myriad
W1:138.4  make but one. And when that one is made, you will perceive it was no  choice at all, for truth is true and nothing else is real. There is
W1:138.6  this insanely complicated world, Heaven appears to take the form of  choice rather than merely being what it is. Of all the choices you
W1:138.6  this one by taking different forms. Here is the final and the only  choice in which is truth accepted or denied.
W1:138.7 So we begin today considering the  choice that time was made to help us make. Such is its holy purpose,
W1:138.9 Heaven is chosen consciously. The  choice cannot be made until alternatives are accurately seen and
W1:138.10 The conscious  choice of Heaven is as sure as is the ending of the fear of hell when
W1:138.10  the clearly seen and the unrecognized? Yet who can fail to make a  choice between alternatives when only one is seen as valuable, the
W1:138.10  a but imagined source of guilt and pain? Who hesitates to make a  choice like this? And shall we hesitate to choose today?
W1:138.11 We make the  choice for Heaven as we wake and spend five minutes making sure that
W1:138.11  made the one decision that is sane. We recognize we make a conscious  choice between what has existence and what has nothing but an
W1:138.12 Before we close our eyes in sleep tonight, we reaffirm the  choice that we have made each hour in between. And now we give the
W1:138.12  with which we awoke. As every hour passed, we have declared our  choice again in a brief quiet time devoted to maintaining sanity. And
W1:139.1 Here is the end of  choice. For here we come to a decision to accept ourselves as God
W1:139.1  to a decision to accept ourselves as God created us. And what is  choice except uncertainty of what we are? There is no doubt that is
W1:152.1  loss unless it be his own decision. No one suffers pain except his  choice elects this state for him. No one can grieve nor fear nor
W1:153.6  the Christ in you. Perhaps you will recall the course maintains that  choice is always made between His strength and your own weakness seen
W1:155.2  even here, then they step back and let it lead the way. What other  choice is really theirs to make? To let illusion walk ahead of truth
W1:155.3 This is the simple  choice we make today. The mad illusion will remain awhile in evidence
W1:155.3  to come and have not yet rejoiced to find they were mistaken in the  choice. They cannot learn directly from the truth because they have
W1:165.1  illusion? What could keep from you what you already have except your  choice to see it not, denying it is there?
W1:170.9  can also be the time of your release from abject slavery. You make a  choice, standing before this idol, seeing him exactly as he is. Will
W1:170.12 The  choice you make today is certain. For you look for the last time upon
W1:170.12  weight; beheld not in its sightless eyes but in the vision that your  choice restored to you.
W1:170.14  what we have received from You alone. We choose again and make our  choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring
W1:R5.9  now to lead you back to where the journey was begun, to make another  choice with me.
W1:185.9  I would have, in place of Heaven and the peace of God?” This is the  choice you make. Be not deceived that it is otherwise. No compromise
W1:189.5 What would you see? The  choice is given you. But learn and do not let your mind forget this
W1:189.9  which we go to Him. But we do choose to let Him come. And with this  choice we rest. And in our quiet hearts and open minds His love will
W1:190.11 And so again we make the only  choice that ever can be made—we choose between illusions and the
W1:193.10  we are tempted to believe that pain is real and death becomes our  choice instead of life? Shall we not learn to say these words when we
W1:194.9  to attack, we will appeal to Him Who guards our rest to make the  choice for us that leaves temptation far behind. No longer is the
W1:200.6  worthy purpose? Who could hope for more while there appears to be a  choice to make between success and failure, love and fear?
W2:I.8  its one Creator. We have found the way He chose for us and made the  choice to follow it as He would have us go. His hand has held us up.
W2:263.1  dark and fearful images. A madman's dream is hardly fit to be my  choice instead of all the loveliness with which You blessed creation
W2:282.1  while truth remains forever living in the joy of life. And this the  choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the Son He loves and
W2:286.1  the lesson that there is no need that I do anything. In You is every  choice already made. In You has every conflict been resolved. In You
W2:317.1  until I take this part as what I choose to do. Until I make this  choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny. But when I
W2:329.1  in my creation, where my will became forever one with Yours. That  choice was made for all eternity. It cannot change and be in
W2:334.1  peace of God to all who hear and choose to follow Him. This is my  choice today. And so I go to find the treasures God has given me.
W2:335.1 Forgiveness is a  choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond
W2:351.1  alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this perception is a  choice I make and can relinquish. I can also see my brother sinless
W2:351.1  I can also see my brother sinless as Your holy Son. And with this  choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend
W2:E.5  We will be told exactly what God wills for us each time there is a  choice to make. And He will speak for God and for your Self, thus
W2:E.5  Self, thus making sure that hell will claim you not and that each  choice you make brings Heaven nearer to your reach. And so we walk
M:I.2  The question is not whether you will teach, for in that there is no  choice. The purpose of the course might be said to provide you with a
M:1.1  consist solely in this; somehow, somewhere he has made a deliberate  choice in which he did not see his interests as apart from someone
M:1.4  appointed to bring about. For time is in their hands. Such was their  choice, and it is given them.
M:2.1  his role, they are ready to fulfill theirs. Time waits on his  choice but not whom he will serve. When he is ready to learn, the
M:2.4  to the right place. This is inevitable, because he made the right  choice in that ancient instant which he now relives. So has the
M:2.4  which he now relives. So has the teacher, too, made an inevitable  choice out of an ancient past. God's Will in everything but seems to
M:4.12  they not succeed? They choose in perfect honesty, sure of their  choice themselves.
M:4.15  To those to whom harm has no meaning, it is merely natural. What  choice but this has meaning to the sane? Who chooses hell when he
M:5.2  of greater worth. For sickness is an election, a decision. It is the  choice of weakness in the mistaken conviction that it is strength.
M:5.5  seem to be ministering to him, yet they but give form to his own  choice. He chooses them to bring tangible form to his desires. And it
M:5.9 To them God's teachers come to represent another  choice which they had forgotten. The simple presence of a teacher of
M:10.6  cause, and they, which never were but the effects of his mistaken  choice, have fallen from him. Teacher of God, this step will bring
M:12.6  God's teachers choose to look on dreams a while. It is a conscious  choice. For they have learned that all choices are made consciously,
M:17.7  Father pursues His guilty Son. Kill or be killed, for here alone is  choice. Beyond this there is none, for what was done cannot be done
M:20.4  of this: is conflict what you want, or is God's peace the better  choice? Which gives you more? A tranquil mind is not a little gift.

Tx:20.75  one is sin, the other holiness. Nothing is in between, and which you  choose determines what you see. For what you see is merely how you

Tx:21.33 It is impossible that the Son of God lack faith, but he can  choose where he would have it be. Faithlessness is not a lack of
Tx:21.34  means for what He wills for you. You made perception that you might  choose among your brothers and seek for sin with them. The Holy
Tx:21.36  which follow this decision are also born of faith. For all who  choose to look away from sin are given vision and are led to holiness.
Tx:21.46  the ego's madness and not been made afraid because you did not  choose to share in it. At times it still deceives you. Yet in your

Tx:21.49  as yet. For on the voice you choose to hear and on the sights you  choose to see, depends entirely your whole belief in what you are.
Tx:21.64 If you  choose sin instead of healing, you would condemn the Son of God to

Tx:21.65  correction of his errors and make him whole. The instant that you  choose to let yourself be healed, in that same instant is his whole
Tx:21.80  how it happens but not to why. You have control of this. And if you  choose to see a world without an enemy in which you are not helpless,
Tx:21.87  question is necessary to the rest, as peace must come to those who  choose to heal and not to judge.
Tx:22.21  is possible, but what you made believes it is not so. Now must you  choose between yourself and an illusion of yourself. Not both, but
Tx:22.22  is no middle ground where you can pause uncertainly, waiting to  choose between the joy of Heaven and the misery of hell. Until you
Tx:22.22  choose between the joy of Heaven and the misery of hell. Until you  choose Heaven, you are in hell and misery.
Tx:22.62  And this is so because the universe is one. You would not  choose attack on its reality if it were not essential to attack to
Tx:23.52  know well. When it occurs, leave not your place on high but quickly  choose a miracle instead of murder. And God Himself and all the
Tx:24.3  the substitute for peace, come with the one alternative that you can  choose for love. Your choosing it has given it all the reality it
Tx:24.4  leave it there. The secret enemies of peace, your least decision to  choose attack instead of love, unrecognized and swift to challenge
Tx:24.55  Choose, then, his body or his holiness as what you want to see, and
Tx:24.55  his body or his holiness as what you want to see, and which you  choose is yours to look upon. Yet will you choose in countless
Tx:24.55  to see, and which you choose is yours to look upon. Yet will you  choose in countless situations and through time which seems to have
Tx:25.17  its purpose, and you do not make the frame into the picture when you  choose to see it in its place. The frame that God has given it but
Tx:25.27  the body up instead of it. The lamps of Heaven are not for it to  choose to see them where it will. If it elects to see them elsewhere
Tx:25.86  that you keep and hide become your secret sins because you did not  choose to let them be removed for you. And so they gather dust and
Tx:26.23  world. For no one understands what is the same and seems to  choose where no choice really is. The real world is the area of
Tx:26.24  recognition this is so lies the ability to give up all attempts to  choose between them and to make them different. [How simple is the
Tx:26.24  withdrawn from what was never true, can it be hard to give it up and  choose what must be true?
Tx:26.30  never will another road be made except the way to Heaven. You but  choose whether to go toward Heaven or away to nowhere. There is

Tx:31.86  your weakness and the strength of Christ in you. And what you  choose is what you think is real. Simply by never using weakness to
Tx:31.87  each perplexity Christ calls to you and gently says, “My brother,  choose again.” He would not leave one source of pain unhealed nor any

W1:51.5  that my thoughts do not mean anything and to let them go. I  choose to have them be replaced by what they were intended to
W1:52.5  or not. What I have chosen to see has cost me vision. Now I would  choose again that I may see.
W1:53.3  this world is not real and that I need not see it at all unless I  choose to value it. And I do not choose to value what is totally
W1:53.3  I need not see it at all unless I choose to value it. And I do not  choose to value what is totally insane and has no meaning.
W1:53.4  illusion of reality, and have suffered from my belief in it. Now I  choose to withdraw this belief and place my trust in reality. In
W1:55.4  I will see a world of peace and safety and joy. It is this I  choose to see in place of what I look on now.
W1:57.2  can I be the victim of a world that can be completely undone if I so  choose? My chains are loosened. I can drop them off merely by
W1:59.4  see anything else. Beyond His Will lie only illusions. It is these I  choose when I think I can see apart from Him. It is these I choose
W1:59.4  these I choose when I think I can see apart from Him. It is these I  choose when I try to see through the body's eyes. Yet the vision of
W1:59.4  has been given me to replace them. It is through this vision that I  choose to see.
W1:64.5 There is no other way. Therefore every time you  choose whether or not to fulfill your function, you are really
W1:66.9  Spirit, where truth abides. There are no other guides but these to  choose between and no other outcomes possible as a result of your
W1:73.9  the insane belief that it is hell in place of Heaven that you  choose.
W1:78.6 You know the one to  choose; his name has crossed your mind already. He will be the one of
W1:88.2  light has come. In choosing salvation rather than attack, I merely  choose to recognize what is already here. Salvation is a decision
W1:88.2  is a decision made already. Attack and grievances are not there to  choose. That is why I always choose between truth and illusion,
W1:88.2  Attack and grievances are not there to choose. That is why I always  choose between truth and illusion, between what is there and what is
W1:88.2  between what is there and what is not. The light has come. I can but  choose the light, for it has no alternative. It has replaced the

W1:100.2 God's Will for you is perfect happiness. Why should you  choose to go against His Will? The part that He has saved for you to
W1:117.2  me remember love is happiness and nothing else brings joy. And so I  choose to entertain no substitutes for love.
W1:125.7  silence, give ten minutes set apart from listening to the world and  choose instead a gentle listening to the Word of God. He speaks from

W1:129.6  This world holds nothing that you really want, but what you  choose instead you want indeed! Let it be given you today. It waits
W1:129.8 Beyond this world there is a world I want. I  choose to see that world instead of this, for here is nothing that I
W1:130.2  Who can desire what he does not want to have reality? And who can  choose to see a world of which he is afraid? Fear must make blind,
W1:130.5  your decision cannot go. The real and the unreal are all there is to  choose between, and nothing more than these.
W1:131.4  unless you give it power to do so. Otherwise, you still are free to  choose a goal that lies beyond the world and every worldly thought
W1:131.10 Today we will not  choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the Son of God make
W1:132.21 I loose the world from all I thought it was and  choose my own reality instead.
W1:133.4  cannot make, no more than you can make alternatives from which to  choose. The choosing you can do; indeed you must. But it is wise to
W1:133.4  must. But it is wise to learn the laws you set in motion when you  choose and what alternatives you choose between. We have already
W1:133.4  the laws you set in motion when you choose and what alternatives you  choose between. We have already stressed there are but two, however
W1:133.7 First, if you  choose a thing that will not last forever, what you chose is
W1:133.8 Next, if you  choose to take a thing away from someone else, you will have nothing
W1:134.17 Then  choose one brother as He will direct, and catalogue his “sins,” as
W1:136.3  seem to be unconscious but because of the rapidity with which you  choose to use them. In that second, even less, in which the choice is
W1:136.12  it. And Heaven has not bowed to hell, nor life to death. You can but  choose to think you die or suffer sickness or distort the truth in
W1:136.15  to play with folly. It is found at any time—today, if you will  choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim
W1:138.1  Heaven is a choice because here we believe there are alternatives to  choose between. We think that all things have an opposite, and what
W1:138.1  We think that all things have an opposite, and what we want we  choose. If Heaven exists, there must be hell as well, for
W1:138.4  for truth is true and nothing else is real. There is no opposite to  choose instead. There is no contradiction to the truth.
W1:138.10  Who hesitates to make a choice like this? And shall we hesitate to  choose today?
W1:152.1  occurs but represents your wish, and nothing is omitted that you  choose. Here is your world, complete in all details. Here is its
W1:153.11 It is the function of God's ministers to help their brothers  choose as they have done. God has elected all, but few have come to
W1:154.7  and show they understand the messages by giving them away. They  choose no roles that are not given them by His authority. And so they
W1:155.2 The world is an illusion. Those who  choose to come to it are seeking for a place where they can be

W1:156.3  is part of Holiness and could no more be sinful than the sun could  choose to be of ice, the sea elect to be apart from water, or the
W1:170.14  And we bless the world with what we have received from You alone. We  choose again and make our choice for all our brothers, knowing they
W1:185.9  that it is otherwise. No compromise is possible in this. You  choose God's peace, or you have asked for dreams. And dreams will
W1:187.7  of suffering. Your blessing lies on everyone who suffers when you  choose to see all suffering as what it is. The thought of sacrifice
W1:188.9  to us. For it is we who make the world as we would have it. Now we  choose that it be innocent, devoid of sin, and open to salvation. And
W1:189.9 And so today we do not  choose the way in which we go to Him. But we do choose to let Him
W1:189.9  so today we do not choose the way in which we go to Him. But we do  choose to let Him come. And with this choice we rest. And in our

W1:190.11 And so again we make the only choice that ever can be made—we  choose between illusions and the truth, or pain and joy, or hell and
W1:190.11  Let our gratitude unto our Teacher fill our hearts as we are free to  choose our joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin, the
W1:192.9  hold a sword above your head. And it will fall or be averted as you  choose to be condemned or free. Thus does each one who seems to tempt
W1:194.7  may be faulty but will never lack correction. He is free to  choose again when he has been deceived, to change his mind when he

W1:R6.9 This thought I do not want. I  choose instead….
W1:202.1 [182] I will be still a moment and go home. Why would I  choose to stay an instant more where I do not belong, when God
W1:210.1 [190] I  choose the joy of God instead of pain. Pain is my own idea. It is not
W1:210.1  Will. His Will is joy and only joy for His beloved Son. And that I  choose instead of what I made. I am not a body. I am free. For I am

W2:226.1 If I so  choose, I can depart this world entirely. It is not death which makes
W2:246.2 I will accept the way You  choose for me to come to You, my Father. For in that will I succeed

W2:255.1 It does not seem to me that I can  choose to have but peace today. And yet my God assures me that His
W2:255.1  day have faith in Him Who says I am God's Son. And let the peace I  choose be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He says. God's

W2:269.1  I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I made. Today I  choose to see a world forgiven in which everyone shows me the face of
W2:271.1  hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. Today I  choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God's
W2:271.2  What He beholds invites Your memory to be restored to me. And this I  choose to be what I would look upon today.
W2:278.2  brought a dream of fear into my mind. Today I would not dream. I  choose the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear. For
W2:WIRW.3  surrounding it but safety, love, and joy? What is there it would  choose to be condemned, and what is there that it would judge
W2:314.2 Father, we were mistaken in the past and  choose to use the present to be free. Now do we leave the future in
W2:317.1  role for me alone. Salvation waits until I take this part as what I  choose to do. Until I make this choice, I am the slave of time and
W2:317.2 Father, Your way is what I  choose today. Where it would lead me, do I choose to go; what it
W2:317.2 Father, Your way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me, do I  choose to go; what it would have me do, I choose to do. Your way is
W2:317.2  it would lead me, do I choose to go; what it would have me do, I  choose to do. Your way is certain and the end secure. The memory of

W2:351.1  Comforter and Friend beside me, and my way secure and clear.  Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your Voice. For He alone
W2:355.1  I need not wait an instant more to be at peace forever. It is You I  choose and my Identity along with You. Your Son would be Himself and
M:2.3  is free, you can accept what has already happened at any time you  choose, and only then will you realize that it was always there. As
M:2.3  it was always there. As the course emphasizes, you are not free to  choose the curriculum or even the form in which you will learn it.
M:4.12  They can only succeed because they never do their will alone. They  choose for all mankind, for all the world and all things in it, for
M:4.12  for the Son of God and his Creator. How could they not succeed? They  choose in perfect honesty, sure of their choice themselves.
M:4.15  Who chooses hell when he perceives a way to Heaven? And who would  choose the weakness that must come from harm in place of the
M:5.2  the instant the sufferer no longer sees any value in pain. Who would  choose suffering unless he thought it brought him something, and
M:5.9  death. Behold, you Son of God, what life can offer you. Would you  choose sickness in place of this?
M:10.4  you were right, without ever realizing you were wrong? Why would you  choose such an arbitrary basis for decision-making? Wisdom is not

Tx:10.36  where God would have you be. But love yourself with the love of  Christ, for so does your Father love you. You can refuse to enter,
Tx:10.36  love you. You can refuse to enter, but you cannot bar the door which  Christ holds open. Come unto me who holds it open for you, for while
Tx:10.37 At God's altar  Christ waits for the restoration of Himself in you. God knows His Son
Tx:10.37  Himself, and He is approached through the appreciation of His Son.  Christ waits for your acceptance of Him as yourself and of His
Tx:10.37  acceptance of Him as yourself and of His wholeness as yours. For  Christ is the Son of God who lives in his Creator and shines with His
Tx:10.37  the Son of God who lives in his Creator and shines with His glory.  Christ is the extension of the love and the loveliness of God, as
Tx:10.57  is the sign that they have beheld God's Son, and in the Presence of  Christ they need demonstrate nothing, for Christ speaks to them of
Tx:10.57  and in the Presence of Christ they need demonstrate nothing, for  Christ speaks to them of Himself and of His Father. They are silent
Tx:10.57  speaks to them of Himself and of His Father. They are silent because  Christ speaks to them, and it is His words that they speak.
Tx:10.58 Every brother you meet becomes a witness for  Christ or for the ego, depending on what you perceive in him.
Tx:10.58  you have evoked false witnesses against him. If he speaks not of  Christ to you, you spoke not of Christ to him. You hear but your own
Tx:10.58  against him. If he speaks not of Christ to you, you spoke not of  Christ to him. You hear but your own voice, and if Christ speaks
Tx:10.58  you spoke not of Christ to him. You hear but your own voice, and if  Christ speaks through you, you will hear Him.
Tx:10.59  will see it. The resurrection is the complete triumph of  Christ over the ego, not by attack but by transcendence. For Christ
Tx:10.59  of Christ over the ego, not by attack but by transcendence. For  Christ does rise above the ego and all its works and ascends to the
Tx:10.61  which you will become less and less willing to deny. Learning of  Christ is easy, for to perceive with Him involves no strain at all.
Tx:10.61  it is only distortions which you introduce that tire you. Let the  Christ in you interpret for you, and do not try to limit what you see
Tx:10.61  by narrow little beliefs which are unworthy of God's Son. For until  Christ comes into His own, the Son of God will see himself as
Tx:10.66  yet forgotten them. The forgetting of dreams and the awareness of  Christ comes with the awakening of others to share your redemption.
Tx:10.68  has no size and no measure. To God all things are possible. And to  Christ it is given to be like the Father.

Tx:10.84  him and heal him unto Christ, for Christ is his healing and yours.  Christ is the Son of God, who is in no way separate from His Father,
Tx:10.87  a brother, pluck the offense from your mind, for you are offended by  Christ and are deceived in Him. Heal in Christ and be not offended by
Tx:10.87  for you are offended by Christ and are deceived in Him. Heal in  Christ and be not offended by Him, for there is no offense in Him. If
Tx:11.8  it will be truly yours. Every appeal you answer in the name of  Christ brings the remembrance of your Father closer to your
Tx:11.16  his call for love and yours is answered. Healing is the love of  Christ for His Father and for Himself.
Tx:11.18 Let us not save nightmares, for they are not fitting offerings for  Christ, and so they are not fit gifts for you. Take off the covers
Tx:11.19  stand in the way of love, for nothing can withstand the love of  Christ for His Father or His Father's love for Him.
Tx:11.34  For in this same place also lies salvation. The altar of God where  Christ abideth is there.
Tx:11.35 You have defiled the altar but not the world. Yet  Christ has placed the Atonement on the altar for you. Bring your
Tx:11.57 The Holy Spirit keeps the vision of  Christ for every Son of God who sleeps. In His sight the Son of God
Tx:11.58  to awaken. And then the real world will spring to your sight, for  Christ has never slept. He is waiting to be seen, for He has never
Tx:11.58  For the Holy Spirit will lead everyone home to his Father, where  Christ waits as his Self.
Tx:11.59 Every Child of God is one in  Christ, for his Being is in Christ as Christ's is in God. Christ's
Tx:11.59 Every Child of God is one in Christ, for his Being is in  Christ as Christ's is in God. Christ's love for you is His love for
Tx:11.59  Father's love for Him. When the Holy Spirit has at last led you to  Christ at the altar to His Father, perception fuses into knowledge
Tx:11.72  look upon the world as God created it together. Through the eyes of  Christ, only the real world exists and can be seen. As you decide, so
Tx:11.82  nothing real to you, you have seen it. But it is not there. And  Christ is invisible to you because of what you have made visible to
Tx:11.84  the world you made and which you see. But take it from the hand of  Christ and look upon it. Its reality will make everything else
Tx:11.89  cannot coexist, and to accept one is to deny the other. Guilt hides  Christ from your sight, for it is the denial of the blamelessness of
Tx:11.90  which you accepted, and you hold it dear. For the blamelessness of  Christ is the proof that the ego never was and can never be. Without
Tx:12.38  hear, for you are preoccupied with your own voice. And the vision of  Christ is not in your sight, for you look upon yourself alone.
Tx:12.42  Beyond this darkness and yet still within you is the vision of  Christ, Who looks on all in light. Your vision comes from fear, as
Tx:12.44 The Holy Spirit is the light in which  Christ stands revealed. And all who would behold Him can see Him, for
Tx:12.44  because they looked within and saw beyond the darkness the  Christ in them and recognized Him. In the sanity of His vision, they
Tx:12.47 This darkness is in you. The  Christ revealed to you now has no past, for He is changeless, and in
Tx:12.51  not change and where there is no sight of what you were, you look at  Christ and call His witnesses to shine on you because you called them
Tx:12.52  Reach out to all your brothers and touch them with the touch of  Christ. In timeless union with them is your continuity, unbroken
Tx:12.56 Awakening unto  Christ is following the laws of love of your free will and out of
Tx:12.57  faithful in your giving, for you were not alone. Even in sleep has  Christ protected you, ensuring the real world for you when you wake.
Tx:12.63  out of sight because what is denied is there but is not recognized.  Christ is still there, although you know Him not. His Being does not
Tx:12.64  and exchange your errors for the peace of God is but your will. And  Christ will always offer you the Will of God in recognition that you
Tx:12.73 The Holy Spirit leads me unto  Christ, and where else would I go? What need have I but to awake in
Tx:13.2  can reach everywhere under His guidance, for the vision of  Christ beholds everything in light. Yet no perception, however holy,
Tx:13.28  pure as He Who raised it to Himself. Nothing can keep from you what  Christ would have you see. His Will is like His Father's, and He
Tx:13.62  and fears of nothing. Accept this key to freedom from the hands of  Christ Who gives it to you that you may join Him in the holy task of

Tx:14.30  for you, and unless you look with Him, He cannot see. The vision of  Christ is not for Him alone but for Him with you. Bring, therefore,
Tx:15.28  Whom you dwell. Touch no one, then, with littleness, in the name of  Christ, eternal Host unto His Father.
Tx:15.54  and so do you. In time you have been told to offer miracles as  Christ directs and let the Holy Spirit bring to you those who are
Tx:15.54  instant, you unite directly with God, and all your brothers join in  Christ. Those who are joined in Christ are in no way separate. For
Tx:15.54  God, and all your brothers join in Christ. Those who are joined in  Christ are in no way separate. For Christ is the Self the Sonship
Tx:15.54  Christ. Those who are joined in Christ are in no way separate. For  Christ is the Self the Sonship shares, as God shares His Self with
Tx:15.54  Christ is the Self the Sonship shares, as God shares His Self with  Christ.
Tx:15.82  bodies you perceive. For all its parts are joined in God through  Christ, where they become like to their Father. For Christ knows of

Tx:15.92  gift I gave to you. Release me as I will your release. The time of  Christ we celebrate together, for it has no meaning if we are apart.
Tx:15.93 The holy instant is truly the time of  Christ. For in this liberating instant, no guilt is laid upon the Son
Tx:15.94  I was born to give. Give it to me, that you may have it. The time of  Christ is the time appointed for the gift of freedom, offered to
Tx:15.94  make this season holy, for it is in your power to make the time of  Christ be now.
Tx:15.102  shining in the Heaven within and accept it as the sign the time of  Christ has come. He comes demanding nothing. No sacrifice of any kind
Tx:15.102  it. No fear can touch the host who cradles God in the time of  Christ, for the Host is as holy as the Perfect Innocence which He
Tx:15.108  itself. Let no despair darken the joy of Christmas, for the time of  Christ is meaningless apart from joy. Let us join in celebrating
Tx:15.108  we are deprived of nothing? Such is the message of the time of  Christ, which I give you that you may give it and return it to the
Tx:15.108  and return it to the Father, Who gave it to me. For in the time of  Christ, communication is restored, and He joins us in the celebration
Tx:15.110 This is the weekend in which a new year will be born from the time of  Christ. I have perfect faith in you to do all that you would
Tx:17.36  keep truth whole. The power of Heaven, the love of God, the tears of  Christ, and the joy of His eternal Spirit are marshaled to defend you
Tx:19.11  united in your purpose to be released from guilt. You saw the  Christ in him, and he was healed because you looked on what makes
Tx:19.41  it now? You are not asked to let it go for yourselves alone.  Christ asks it of you for Himself. He would bring peace to everyone,
Tx:19.91  obstacle to be surmounted hangs like a heavy veil before the face of  Christ. Yet as His face rises beyond it, shining with joy because He
Tx:19.91  Him at last. For this dark veil, which seems to make the face of  Christ Himself like to a leper's and the bright rays of His Father's
Tx:19.93  to let the fear of God be lifted so you could look upon the face of  Christ and join Him in His Father.
Tx:19.103 Behold your Friend, the  Christ Who stands beside you. How holy and how beautiful He is! You
Tx:19.103  still offers you salvation as His Friend. The “enemies” of  Christ, the worshipers of sin, know not Whom they attack. This is
Tx:20.1  of his release. For Easter is the sign of peace, not pain. A slain  Christ has no meaning. But a risen Christ becomes the symbol of the
Tx:20.1  sign of peace, not pain. A slain Christ has no meaning. But a risen  Christ becomes the symbol of the Son of God's forgiveness of himself;
Tx:20.3  Nor can the resurrection be complete till your forgiveness rests on  Christ, along with mine. A week is short, and yet this holy week is
Tx:20.4  the cost of sin but of its end.] If you see glimpses of the face of  Christ behind the veil looking between the snow white petals of the
Tx:20.32  each one finds his savior when he is ready to look upon the face of  Christ and see Him sinless.
Tx:20.34  of every two who enter here to rest. And as they rest, the face of  Christ shines on them, and they remember the laws of God, forgetting
Tx:20.40  glad. You will not think to judge him, for who would see the face of  Christ and yet insist that judgment still has meaning? For this
Tx:20.42  forgiveness you will give each other already given; the face of  Christ you yet will look upon already seen.
Tx:20.49  His temples where love can never be. Would He Who sees the face of  Christ choose as His home the only place in all the universe where it
Tx:20.57  the body? Can they be long held back from looking on the face of  Christ? And can they long withhold the memory of their relationship
Tx:20.61  it is, the body cannot meaningfully be invested with attributes of  Christ or of the ego. Either must be an error, for both would place
Tx:20.69  salvation is. Be willing, then, to see your brother sinless that  Christ may rise before your vision and give you joy. And place no
Tx:22.11  anything except yourself. For no two people can unite except through  Christ, Whose vision sees them one.
Tx:22.12  could not come to anyone but you, never to “something else.” Where  Christ has entered, no one is alone, for never could He find a home
Tx:22.15  Christ comes to what is like Himself; the same, not different. For He
Tx:22.15  your Father's Will for you, and yours with His. And who is drawn to  Christ is drawn to God as surely as both are drawn to every holy
Tx:22.27  forgiveness is gently overlooked and disappears. For at its center  Christ has been reborn to light His home with vision that overlooks
Tx:22.28 All you need do to dwell in quiet here with  Christ is share His vision. Quickly and gladly is His vision given to
Tx:22.40  place, before the veil of sin that hangs between you and the face of  Christ. Let it be lifted! Raise it together, for it is but a veil
Tx:22.40  even here before the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of  Christ will light your faces and shine from them into a darkened
Tx:22.41  you, will you now open to the sorrowful. And none who looks upon the  Christ in you but will rejoice. How beautiful the sight you saw
Tx:24.40 The  Christ in you is very still. He looks on what He loves and knows it
Tx:24.42 Where could your peace arise but from forgiveness? The  Christ in you looks only on the truth and sees no condemnation that
Tx:24.44  to listen, and no hands to hold nor feet to guide. Be glad that only  Christ can lend you His while you have need of them. They are
Tx:24.45 The  Christ in you is very still. He knows where you are going, and He
Tx:24.45  you lead to Him. And what you see is like yourself. For what but  Christ is there to see and hear and love and follow home? He looked
Tx:24.46  gift of life that your forgiveness offers to your Self. The sight of  Christ is all there is to see. The song of Christ is all there is to
Tx:24.46  your Self. The sight of Christ is all there is to see. The song of  Christ is all there is to hear. The hand of Christ is all there is to
Tx:24.46  is to see. The song of Christ is all there is to hear. The hand of  Christ is all there is to hold. There is no journey but to walk with
Tx:24.48  there can be conflict. And every doubt must be about yourself.  Christ has no doubt, and from His certainty His quiet comes. He will
Tx:24.54  eyes be blinded by the veil of specialness that hides the face of  Christ from him, and you as well. And let the fear of God no longer

Tx:24.55  decision. For eternity is not regained by still one more denial of  Christ in him. And where is your salvation if he is but a body? Where
Tx:24.56  wherein you see the judgment you have laid on both of you. The  Christ in you beholds his holiness. Your specialness looks on his
Tx:24.58  of God, Who loves each part of Him with equal love [and care]. The  Christ in you can see your brother truly. Would you decide against
Tx:24.60  too heavy. But a tiny willingness, a nod to God, a greeting to the  Christ in you, you find a burden wearisome and tedious, too heavy to
Tx:24.61  Here is the voice of specialness heard clearly, judging against the  Christ and setting forth for you the purpose that you can attain and
Tx:24.61  apply to what you do with it as your ally. For what you do through  Christ it does not know. To Him this judgment makes no sense at all,
Tx:25.1 The  Christ in you inhabits not a body. Yet He is in you. And thus it must
Tx:25.1  What gives you life cannot be housed in death. No more can you.  Christ is within a frame of holiness whose only purpose is that He
Tx:25.2 No one who carries  Christ in him can fail to recognize Him everywhere. Except in bodies.
Tx:25.2  do not recognize Him where He is. The son of man is not the risen  Christ. Yet does the Son of God abide exactly where he is and walks
Tx:25.3  mind that thinks it is a body is sick indeed! And it is here that  Christ sets forth the remedy. His purpose folds the body in His light
Tx:25.4 It cannot be that it is hard to do the task that  Christ appointed you to do, since it is He Who does it. And in the
Tx:25.4  your holy brother, as he to you. Here is the meeting of the holy  Christ unto Himself; nor are any differences perceived to stand
Tx:25.5 How can you manifest the  Christ in you except you look on holiness and see Him there?
Tx:25.5  sinfulness wherein you stand condemned. Set in his holiness, the  Christ in him proclaims himself as you.
Tx:25.7  veil is lifted through its gentleness, and nothing hides the face of  Christ from its beholders. And both of you stand there, before Him
Tx:25.8  Holy Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join as one in truth.  Christ and His Father never have been separate, and Christ abides
Tx:25.8  as one in truth. Christ and His Father never have been separate, and  Christ abides within your understanding in the part of you that
Tx:25.8  the tiny mad desire to be separate, different, and special, to the  Christ, to make the oneness clear to what is really one. In this
Tx:25.19  he sees not. And in this seeing is the vision shared that looks on  Christ instead of seeing death.
Tx:25.38 Attack makes  Christ your enemy and God along with Him. Must you not be afraid with
Tx:25.38  And who would see the Son of God as innocent and wish him dead?  Christ stands before you both each time you look on one another. He
Tx:25.39 It is not  Christ you see by looking thus. It is the “enemy” confused with
Tx:25.39  not Christ you see by looking thus. It is the “enemy” confused with  Christ you look upon. And hate because there is no sin in him for you
Tx:26.27  is but the space that sin has left. And here you see the face of  Christ arising in its place. Who could behold the face of Christ and
Tx:26.27  face of Christ arising in its place. Who could behold the face of  Christ and not recall His Father as He really is? Who could fear love
Tx:26.77  host. Regard him gently. Look with loving eyes on him who carries  Christ within him, that you may behold His glory and rejoice that
Tx:26.78 Is it too much to ask a little trust for him who carries  Christ to you, that you may be forgiven all your sins and left
Tx:26.78  a shadow held between your brother and yourself obscures the face of  Christ and memory of God. And would you trade Them for an ancient
Tx:26.84  are welcome made at last. Where stood a cross stands now the risen  Christ, and ancient scars are healed within His sight. An ancient
Tx:27.49  it might live. It will call forth its witnesses to show the face of  Christ to you who brought the sight to them by which they witnessed
Tx:29.54 —some form of anti-Christ which constitutes a gap between the  Christ and what you see. An idol is a wish made tangible and given
Tx:29.54  from the idea it represents. All forms of anti-Christ oppose the  Christ and fall before His face like a dark veil which seems to shut
Tx:29.55 This world of idols is a veil across the face of  Christ because its purpose is to separate your brother from yourself.
Tx:30.29  For they are made with idols or with God. And you ask help of  Christ or anti-Christ, and which you choose will join with you and
Tx:30.63  took, and they will look on Him Whose hand they hold. The face of  Christ is looked upon before the Father is remembered. For He must be
Tx:30.63  reached beyond forgiveness to the love of God. Yet is the love of  Christ accepted first. And then will come the knowledge They are One.
Tx:30.93  For this but means you would not have him healed and whole. The  Christ in him is perfect. Is it this that you would look upon? Then
Tx:30.93  him which you would prefer to seeing this. And you will see the  Christ in him because you let Him come to you. And when He has
Tx:30.94  you would have him be but what he is. Why should you fear to see the  Christ in him? You but behold your Self in what you see. As he is
Tx:31.9  the ancient call to life and understood that it is but your own. The  Christ in you remembers God with all the certainty with which He
Tx:31.21  God's love, you will be saved from all appearances and answer to the  Christ Who calls to you. Be still and listen. Think not ancient
Tx:31.21  lessons that you learned about this Son of God who calls to you.  Christ calls to all with equal tenderness, seeing no leaders and no
Tx:31.23  not alone. And in this choice is learning's outcome changed, for  Christ has been reborn to both of you.
Tx:31.75  what he beholds. And in this single vision does he see the face of  Christ and understands he looks on everyone as he beholds this One.
Tx:31.76 The veil across the face of  Christ, the fear of God and of salvation, and the love of guilt and
Tx:31.80  Then is the answer given. And the door held open for the face of  Christ to shine upon the one who asks in innocence to see beyond the
Tx:31.80  and ancient concepts held so long and dear against the vision of the  Christ in you.
Tx:31.83  he has; his grasp cannot exceed its tiny reach. Would you be this if  Christ appeared to you in all His glory, asking you but this:
Tx:31.86  You always choose between your weakness and the strength of  Christ in you. And what you choose is what you think is real. Simply
Tx:31.86  to direct your actions, you have given it no power. And the light of  Christ in you is given charge of everything you do. For you have
Tx:31.87  to you. In every difficulty, all distress, and each perplexity  Christ calls to you and gently says, “My brother, choose again.” He
Tx:31.88  an image of yourself before. For what appears to hide the face of  Christ is powerless before His majesty and disappears before His holy
Tx:31.93  constant fear. For it is given you to join with him, and through the  Christ in you unveil his eyes and let him look upon the Christ in
Tx:31.93  through the Christ in you unveil his eyes and let him look upon the  Christ in him. My brothers in salvation, do not fail to hear my voice
Tx:31.94  to lift us high above the thorny roads we traveled on before the  Christ appeared. Hear me, my brothers, hear and join with me. God has
Tx:31.97 And now we say “Amen.” For  Christ has come to dwell in the abode You set for Him before time
Tx:31.97  and not one spot of darkness still remains to hide the face of  Christ from anyone. Thy Will is done, complete and perfectly, and all
W1:59.4  choose when I try to see through the body's eyes. Yet the vision of  Christ has been given me to replace them. It is through this vision
W1:62.3  weakness, while every time you forgive you call upon the strength of  Christ in you. Do you not then begin to understand what forgiveness
W1:100.9  little thoughts and foolish goals you pass as you ascend to meet the  Christ in you.
W1:110.8  Self Who is the holy Son of God Himself. Seek Him within you Who is  Christ in you, the Son of God and brother to the world—the savior
W1:110.9  of what He is be worshiped not today. Deep in your mind the holy  Christ in you is waiting your acknowledgment as you. And you are lost
W1:110.11  we will say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self, the  Christ in each of us:
W1:122.3 Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up which hides the face of  Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. It
W1:137.6  of your function here. For anti-Christ becomes more powerful than  Christ to those who dream the world is real. The body seems to be
W1:151.8  on certainty so great that doubt is meaningless before Its face.  Christ cannot doubt Himself. The Voice of God can only honor Him,
W1:151.10  look beyond these grim appearances and can behold the gentle face of  Christ in all of them. You will no longer doubt that only good can
W1:151.12  your Creator, Who is one with Him. So will you see the holy face of  Christ in everything and hear in everything no sound except the echo
W1:153.6 Defenselessness is strength. It testifies to recognition of the  Christ in you. Perhaps you will recall the course maintains that
W1:153.7 Defensiveness is weakness. It proclaims you have denied the  Christ and come to fear His Father's anger. What can save you now
W1:153.19  ourselves in it as we prepare to meet the day. We rise up strong in  Christ and let our weakness disappear as we remember that His
W1:153.21  give Him in return. You lay aside but what was never real to look on  Christ and see His sinlessness.
W1:158.5  Yet there is a vision which the Holy Spirit sees because the mind of  Christ beholds it too.
W1:158.9 Thus are his sins forgiven him, for  Christ has vision which has power to overlook them all. In His
W1:158.11  shines with its immortal love. We practice seeing with the eyes of  Christ today. And by the holy gifts we give, Christ's vision looks
W1:159.4  are united in extension here on earth as they are one in Heaven.  Christ beholds no sin in anyone, and in His sight the sinless are as
W1:159.6  no lack unsatisfied, no need unmet within this golden treasury of  Christ.
W1:159.9  Now are they twice blessed. The messages they brought from  Christ have been delivered and returned to them. And they return them
W1:159.10  you? Judge not God's Son, but follow in the way He has established.  Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven world. It is His gift
W1:160.9 Today we offer thanks that  Christ has come to search the world for what belongs to Him. His
W1:161.1  is the answer to temptation which can never fail to welcome in the  Christ where fear and anger had prevailed before. Here is Atonement
W1:161.14  your blessing, holy Son of God. I would behold you with the eyes of  Christ, and see my perfect sinlessness in you.
W1:161.15  now whom you had seen as merely flesh and bone and recognize that  Christ has come to you.
W1:161.16  him suddenly transformed from enemy to savior, from the devil into  Christ.

W1:164.2  both. For they are but your answer to your Father's call to you.  Christ answers for you, echoing your Self, using your voice to give
W1:164.3 How holy is your practicing today, as  Christ gives you His sight and hears for you and answers in your name
W1:164.5  innocence before your eyes. Now will you see it with the eyes of  Christ. Now is its transformation clear to you.
W1:164.7  its holiness reflects our own. We stand forgiven in the sight of  Christ, with all the world forgiven in our own.
W1:164.8  put away and leave a clean and open space within your mind where  Christ can come and offer you the treasure of salvation. He has need

W2:223.2 Our Father, let us see the face of  Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are

W2:263.2  let us look on all we see through holy vision and the eyes of  Christ. Let all appearances seem pure to us that we may pass them by

W2:269.1  to see a world forgiven in which everyone shows me the face of  Christ and teaches me that what I look upon belongs to me, that
W2:270.2  will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone.  Christ is our eyes today. And through His sight, we offer healing to

W2:308.1  in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. The birth of  Christ is now, without a past or future. He has come to give His

W2:354.1 My oneness with the  Christ establishes me as Your Son, beyond the reach of time and
W2:354.1  and wholly free of every law but Yours. I have no self except the  Christ in me. I have no purpose but His own. And He is like His
W2:354.1  His Father. Thus must I be one with You as well as Him. For who is  Christ except Your Son as You created Him? And what am I except the

W1:59.3  my pitiful illusion of seeing for the vision that is given by God.  Christ's vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call
W1:124.9  the mirror that this exercise will offer you. And you will see  Christ's face upon it, in reflection of your own.
W1:157.9 Into  Christ's Presence will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything

W1:158.6  for it transcends what needs to be accomplished. Our concern is with  Christ's vision. This we can attain.
W1:158.7  Christ's vision has one law. It does not look upon a body and mistake
W1:158.10 Thus do you learn to give as you receive. And thus  Christ's vision looks on you as well. This lesson is not difficult to

W1:159.3  Christ's vision is a miracle. It comes from far beyond itself, for it

W1:166.8 You cower fearfully lest you should feel  Christ's touch upon your shoulder and perceive His gentle hand
W1:166.9  has come upon you now, and justice has caught up with you at last.  Christ's hand has touched your shoulder, and you feel that you are

W2:I.6  end. Accept these little gifts of thanks from us, as through  Christ's vision we behold a world beyond the one we made and take
W2:247.1  and I will suffer. For forgiveness is the only means whereby  Christ's vision comes to me. Let me accept what His sight shows me as

Tx:1.96  Christ-controlled miracles are selective only in the sense that they

Tx:16.18  against God's Love, for you have many witnesses which speak of it so  clearly that only the blind and deaf could fail to see and hear them.
Tx:16.18  that is the only reason He has called to you. His Voice has spoken  clearly, and yet you have so little faith in what you heard because

Tx:17.45  For the relationship as it is, is out of line with its own goal and  clearly unsuited to the purpose which has been accepted for it. In

Tx:18.52  its guilt, but it will not lose it through projection. And though it  clearly can misperceive the function of the body, it cannot change

Tx:19.28  you would keep unheard and thus unanswered? In time the Holy Spirit  clearly sees the Son of God can make mistakes. On this you share His
Tx:20.39  for itself and therefore values him too little. What is inestimable  clearly cannot be evaluated. Do you recognize the fear that rises
Tx:21.53  Such would your reason tell you if you listened. Yet such is  clearly not the ego's “reasoning.” Its alien nature to the ego is
Tx:24.61  what made this judgment. Here is the voice of specialness heard  clearly, judging against the Christ and setting forth for you the

Tx:26.54  separating off is symbolized in your perception by a body which is  clearly separate and a thing apart. Yet what this symbol represents

W1:34.1  conditions that prevail in the other way of seeing. Peace of mind is  clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your own thoughts and
W1:42.7 Any thought that is  clearly related to the idea is suitable. You may, in fact, be

W1:69.8  you are at last joining your will to God's. Try to keep the thought  clearly in mind that what you undertake with God must succeed. Then
W1:73.12 After reminding yourself of this and determining to keep your will  clearly in mind, tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet
W1:132.8  not exist because what they behold must be the truth, and yet it  clearly contradicts the world. And some will find it in this course

Tx:12.25  which death might indicate could only have been futile if it must  come to this and needs this to prove that it was. You question
Tx:12.39  look beyond it. It is given you to learn how to deny insanity and  come forth from your private world in peace.
Tx:12.41  for this, light must be excluded. Dreams disappear when light has  come and you can see.
Tx:12.56  awareness is narrowed to yourself. And that is why the nightmares  come. You dream of isolation because your eyes are closed. You do not

Tx:13.25  where you would always find Atonement. The end of guilt will never  come as long as you believe there is a reason for it. For you must
Tx:13.48  give what you have not. If, then, you offer blessing, it must have  come first to yourself. And you must also have accepted it as yours,

Tx:15.63 It is through us that peace will  come. Join me in the idea of peace, for in ideas minds can

Tx:16.3  is only to remember this—you do not want anything you value to  come of the relationship. You will neither to hurt it nor to heal it
Tx:16.16  and honor His witnesses, who bring you the glad tidings He has  come. It is true, just as you fear, that to acknowledge Him is to
Tx:16.16  in clinging to it and denying the evidence for truth? For you have  come too near to truth to renounce it now, and you will yield to its
Tx:16.29  side and wait for you will not draw you safely across. For you will  come where you would be and where your Self awaits you.
Tx:16.33  seek it desperately but not in the peace in which it would gladly  come quietly to them. And when they find the fear of death is still

Tx:16.36  which seems very real to you, but which does not exist. You have  come very close to truth, and only this stands between you and the

Tx:16.68  instant speed you on the way, as it will surely do if you but let it  come to you.
Tx:16.79  Love. Be an ally of God and not the ego in seeking how Atonement can  come to you. His help suffices, for His Messenger understands how to
Tx:17.20  unholy relationship in which the hatred is remembered, yet there to  come alive as the relationship is given to Him Who gives it life and
Tx:17.25  ego. Thought systems are but true or false, and all their attributes  come simply from what they are. Only the Thoughts of God are true.

Tx:17.52  not, for it has come to you. And welcome it together, for it has  come to join you together in a relationship in which all the Sonship
Tx:17.58  the first thing to consider, very simply, is, “What do I want to  come of this? What is it for?” The clarification of the goal belongs
Tx:17.58  approach is evident. The ego does not know what it wants to  come of it. It is aware of what it does not want, but only that. It
Tx:17.61  of itself. If you experience peace, it is because the truth has  come to you, and you will see the outcome truly, for deception cannot
Tx:17.63  And peace will not be experienced except in fantasy. Truth has not  come because faith has been denied, being withheld from where it
Tx:17.67  will call this forth, for you will see that peace and faith will not  come separately. What situation can you be in without faith and
Tx:17.73  Spirit's goal are set apart from loneliness because the truth has  come. Its call for faith is strong. Use not your faithlessness
Tx:17.75  But rise you not against it, for against your opposition it cannot  come.
Tx:18.2  as different. One would unite; the other separate. Nothing can  come between what God has joined and what the Holy Spirit sees as
Tx:18.2  joined and what the Holy Spirit sees as one. But everything seems to  come between the fragmented relationships the ego sponsors to destroy.
Tx:18.5  from it a world of total unreality had to emerge. What else could  come of it? Its fragmented aspects are fearful enough, as you begin

Tx:18.62  lifted for you, to welcome you to openness of mind and freedom.  Come to this place of refuge, where you can be yourself in peace. Not
Tx:18.72  you will not see the grandeur which surrounds you. God cannot  come into a body, nor can you join Him there. Limits on love will
Tx:18.79  surrounds your little kingdom, waiting at the barrier you built to  come inside and shine upon the barren ground. See how life springs up
Tx:18.79  by one into this holy place, but they will not depart as they had  come, alone. The love they brought with them will stay with them, as
Tx:18.81 Love's answer is inevitable. It will  come because you came without the body and interposed no barriers
Tx:18.82  fully at your weak request. You do not recognize that love has  come because you have not yet let go of all the barriers you hold
Tx:18.83  cloud your eyes and keep you sightless. Yet He Whom you welcomed has  come to you and would welcome you. He has waited long to give you
Tx:18.98 And when the memory of God has  come to you in the holy place of forgiveness, you will remember
Tx:19.14  has raised unto Himself and both of you. Lay faithlessness aside and  come to it together. There will you see the miracle of your
Tx:19.36  is now a temple of healing—a place where all the weary ones can  come and find rest. Here is the rest that waits for all after the
Tx:19.66  the quiet communion in which the Father and the Son are joined. Oh  come ye faithful to the holy union of the Father and Son in you! And
Tx:19.70 Here is your choice, and it is free. But all that lies in it will  come with it, and what you think you are can never be apart from it.
Tx:19.84  death see not how often and how loudly they call to it and bid it  come to save them from communication. For death is seen as safety,
Tx:19.96  of things beyond you, forces you cannot control, and thoughts that  come to you against your will. It is your will to look on this. No
Tx:19.99  to look on this too soon. This is the place to which everyone must  come when he is ready. Once he has found his brother, he is ready.
Tx:19.105 Here is the holy place of resurrection to which we  come again; to which we will return until redemption is accomplished
Tx:20.6  it ready to receive the gifts it wants by offering them to those who  come unto its chosen home or those it would attract to it. And there
Tx:20.14  Walk with him now rejoicing, for the savior from illusions has  come to greet you and lead you home with him.
Tx:20.15  to one another the freedom and the strength to lead you there. And  come before each other's holy altar where the strength and freedom
Tx:20.58  But we have also said the means to meet the Holy Spirit's goal will  come from the same Source as does His purpose. Being so simple and
Tx:20.67 Vision will  come to you at first in glimpses, but they will be enough to show you
Tx:20.69  Spirit's vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace will  come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity of purpose,
Tx:20.77  of vision? And after vision, who is there who could refuse what must  come after? Think but an instant just on this—you can behold the
Tx:21.17  by events outside of him. It is impossible that the happenings that  come to him were not his choice. His power of decision is the
Tx:21.28  from your Father, you made in secret, and the instant of release has  come to you. All its effects are gone because its source has been
Tx:21.39  way. It is like saying that the moon and sun are one because they  come with night and day, and so they must be joined. Yet sight of one
Tx:21.45  been waiting for the birth of freedom, the acceptance of release to  come to you. And now you recognize that it was not the ego that
Tx:21.47  of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now it sees that Heaven has  come to earth at last, from which the ego's rule has kept it out so
Tx:21.47  last, from which the ego's rule has kept it out so long. Heaven has  come because it found a home in your relationship on earth. And earth
Tx:21.55  threatens dissociation as much as all of it. And all of it will  come with any part. Here is the part you can accept. What reason
Tx:21.58 You have  come very close to this. Faith and belief have shifted, and you have
Tx:21.58  never ask. Does not your reason tell you now the question must have  come from something that you do not know but must belong to you?
Tx:21.72  they know not their enemy, except they hate him. In hatred they have  come together but have not joined each other. For had they done so,
Tx:21.87  who see the final question is necessary to the rest, as peace must  come to those who choose to heal and not to judge.
Tx:22.1  on yourselves, so long enslaved. Rejoice whom God hath joined have  come together and need no longer look on sin apart. No two can look
Tx:22.2  where each one thinks the other has what he has not. They  come together, each to complete himself and rob the other. They stay
Tx:22.12  you who taught him what he knows because you knew it. He could not  come to anyone but you, never to “something else.” Where Christ has
Tx:22.38 When you  come to the place where the branch in the road is quite apparent, you
Tx:22.41  as weary now as once you were. How thankful will they be to see you  come among them, offering Christ's forgiveness to dispel their faith
Tx:22.49  Force is irresistible in truth. What, then, must happen when they  come together? Can the illusion of immovability be long defended from
Tx:22.56 Children of peace, the light has  come to you. The light you bring you do not recognize, and yet you
Tx:23.6  Look on it lovingly, and see the light of Heaven in it. So will you  come to understand all that is given you. In kind forgiveness will
Tx:23.7 The memory of God comes to the quiet mind. It cannot  come where there is conflict, for a mind at war against itself
Tx:23.44  salvation is impossible cannot uphold a quiet, calm assurance it has  come. Forgiveness cannot be withheld a little. Nor is it possible to
Tx:24.2  alternative. The truth arises from what He knows. And your decisions  come from your beliefs as certainly as all creation rose in His Mind
Tx:24.3  to take its place. And now must war, the substitute for peace,  come with the one alternative that you can choose for love. Your
Tx:24.6  itself. But what is different calls for judgment, and this must  come from someone “better,” someone incapable of being like what he
Tx:24.20 You have  come far along the way of truth—too far to falter now. Just one
Tx:24.20  Leave all illusions of yourself outside this place to which you  come in hope and honesty.
Tx:24.32  joy stand there beside the bier on which they sleep and call them to  come forth and waken from their dream of death. Yet they hear
Tx:24.47  a war with love, consider this: the holy Lord of Heaven has Himself  come down to you to offer you your own completion. What is His is
Tx:24.48  becomes your certainty. And where is doubt when certainty has  come?
Tx:24.69  does not exceed your own, except to say that what is yours will  come to you when you are ready. Here are the means and purpose
Tx:24.70  that you want to be yourself. It is the means to make your wish  come true. It gives the eyes with which you look on it, the hands
Tx:25.1  made manifest to those who know Him not, that He may call to them to  come to Him and see Him where they thought their bodies were. Then
Tx:25.27  it alone. [Nor need he stay more than an instant.] For he has  come with Heaven's Help within him ready to lead him out of darkness
Tx:25.34  tired hearts that look on sin and beat its sad refrain. From you can  come their rest. From you can rise a world they will rejoice to look
Tx:25.73  could they call forth to speak on his behalf? And who would  come to plead for him and not against his life? No justice would be
Tx:26.1  nothing attached to anything beyond itself. All seeming entities can  come a little nearer or go a little farther off but cannot join.
Tx:26.9  It is your special function to ensure the door be opened that he may  come forth to shine on you and give you back the gift of freedom by
Tx:26.27  once sin was believed to be. And here does every light of heaven  come to be rekindled and increased in joy. For here is what was lost
Tx:26.29  there and sing their song of gratitude and praise. And as they  come to you to be complete, so will you go with them. For no one
Tx:26.34  eternal passed away in Heaven too soon for anything to notice it had  come. What disappeared too quickly to affect the simple knowledge of
Tx:26.38  unreal. Such is the justice your ever-loving Father has ensured must  come to you. And from your own unfairness to yourself has He
Tx:26.39  Let the dead and gone be peacefully forgotten. Resurrection has  come to take its place. And now you are a part of resurrection, not
Tx:26.41 The shadow voices do not change the laws of time or of eternity. They  come from what is past and gone and hinder not the true existence of
Tx:26.44  in power of attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and death has  come to you. For no one can make one illusion real and still escape
Tx:26.70  between the time its purpose is made yours and its effects will  come to you. In this form is the error still obscured that is the
Tx:26.73  at now. Why wait till they unfold in time and fear they may not  come, although already there? You have been told that everything
Tx:26.76  time is merely a denial of the fact that consequence and cause must  come as one. Look not to time but to the little space between you
Tx:26.79  and withering have passed forever from the land where They have  come.
Tx:26.80  hundred or a thousand years to Them, or tens of thousands? When They  come, time's purpose is fulfilled. What never was passes to
Tx:26.80  is fulfilled. What never was passes to nothingness when They have  come. What hatred claimed is given up to love, and freedom lights up
Tx:26.81  for this gift of what has been withheld so long. For They have  come to gather in Their Own. What has been locked is opened; what was
Tx:26.82  earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love. And They  come quickly to the living temple, where a home for Them has been set
Tx:26.82  has been set up. There is no place in Heaven holier. And They have  come to dwell within the temple offered them, to be Their
Tx:26.84  ancient scars are healed within His sight. An ancient miracle has  come to bless and to replace an ancient enmity that came to kill. In
Tx:26.84  forever be. Now is the Holy Spirit's purpose done. For They have  come! For They have come at last!
Tx:26.84  is the Holy Spirit's purpose done. For They have come! For They have  come at last!
Tx:27.2  that he has been condemned. And what to you has been unfair will  come to him in righteousness. The unjust vengeance that you suffer
Tx:27.8  of them if they enjoy their benefits or not. The end of life must  come, whatever way that life be spent. And so take pleasure in the
Tx:27.11  been removed, is Heaven free to be remembered. Here its peace can  come and perfect healing take the place of death. The body can become
Tx:27.19  miracle obeys; that healing sees no specialness at all. It does not  come from pity but from love. And love would prove all suffering is
Tx:27.35 A Power wholly limitless has  come, not to destroy, but to receive Its own. There is no choice of
Tx:27.41  the meaning of the question does the meaningfulness of the answer  come. Here is it possible to separate your wishes from the answer, so
Tx:27.45  this possible. But if you are afraid of healing, then it cannot  come through you. The only thing that is required for a healing is a
Tx:27.46  lifted up and comforted. There is no sadness where a miracle has  come to heal. And nothing more than just one instant of your love
Tx:27.48  Come to the holy instant and be healed, for nothing that is there
Tx:27.58  has no effects. And this it proves because its own effects have  come to take their place. It matters not the name by which you called
Tx:27.68  you in any way request them for yourself. This is how all illusions  come about. The one who makes them does not see himself as making
Tx:27.74  fading from your sight, although your eyes are closed. A smile has  come to lighten up your sleeping face. The sleep is peaceful now, for
Tx:27.82  cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a joke to think that time can  come to circumvent eternity, which means there is no time.
Tx:27.85  their cause. And by His judgment are effects removed. Perhaps you  come in tears, but hear Him say, “My brother, Holy Son of God, behold
Tx:28.11  returns to them. Their own remembering is quiet now, and what has  come to take its place will not be wholly unremembered afterwards.
Tx:28.15  the causeless not? And where is sacrifice, when memory of God has  come to take the place of loss? What better way to close the little
Tx:28.17  effects, which are as limitless as is itself. Yet must all healing  come about because the mind is recognized as not within the body, and
Tx:28.30  protected, cherished, and upheld by firm belief, lest God should  come to bridge the little gap that leads to Him. Fight not His coming
Tx:28.33  will brush them all aside and thus make room for Him Who wills to  come and bridge His Son's returning to Himself.
Tx:28.35  for your Father and your Self. The door is open that all those may  come who would no longer starve and would enjoy the feast of plenty
Tx:28.35  And they will meet with your invited Guests the miracle has asked to  come to you.
Tx:28.45 I thank you, Father, knowing you will  come to close each little gap that lies between the broken pieces of
Tx:28.46  What then would you perceive within the gap? The seeds of sickness  come from the belief that there is joy in separation, and its giving
Tx:28.48  did not give them your support. Where fear has gone, there love must  come because there are but these alternatives. Where one appears, the
Tx:28.60  no gap between Himself and what He is cannot be false. What will can  come between what must be one, and in Whose wholeness there can be no
Tx:28.64  and make fast the bolts. The wind will topple it, and rain will  come and carry it into oblivion.
Tx:29.1  For He must be deceptive in His Love. Be wary, then; let Him not  come too close, and leave a gap between you and His love through
Tx:29.3  a gap between you, lest he turn again into an enemy. [Let him  come close to you, and you jumped back; as you approached, he
Tx:29.7  sometimes gone. Thus is love seen as treacherous because it seems to  come and go uncertainly and offer no stability to you. You do not see
Tx:29.12  one. Where they are causeless, their effects are gone, and love must  come wherever they are not. Why are you not rejoicing? You are free
Tx:29.13 Your Guest has  come. You asked Him, and He came. You did not hear Him enter, for you
Tx:29.14  you have received. Yet He Who entered in but waits for you to  come where you invited Him to be. There is no other place where He
Tx:29.23  that the darkness may be lifted from your mind. When light has  come to him through your forgiveness, he will not forget his savior,
Tx:29.34  The quiet that surrounds you dwells in him, and from this quiet  come the happy dreams in which your hands are joined in innocence.
Tx:29.36  some way calls for death. And those who serve the lord of death have  come to worship in a separated world, each with his tiny spear and
Tx:29.39  will disappear, and night and day will be no more. All things that  come and go, the tides, the seasons, and the lives of men; all things
Tx:29.56 What is an idol? Nothing! It must be believed before it seems to  come to life and given power that it may be feared. Its life and
Tx:29.57  the world where the impossible has happened. Here the deathless  come to die, the all-encompassing to suffer loss, the timeless to be
Tx:29.57  and the Son of God, as perfect, sinless and as loving as his Father,  come to hate a little while, to suffer pain, and finally to die.
Tx:29.63  is the worship of despair and terror and the dream from which they  come. Judgment is an injustice to God's Son, and it is justice that
Tx:30.44 Thoughts seem to  come and go. Yet all this means is that you are sometimes aware of
Tx:30.63  love of God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted first. And then will  come the knowledge They are One.
Tx:30.64  hand you hold was waiting but for you to join Him. Now that you have  come, would He delay in showing you the way that He must walk with
Tx:30.92  appearances beyond the hope of change is that the miracle cannot  come forth from you consistently. For you have asked it be withheld
Tx:30.93  seeing this. And you will see the Christ in him because you let Him  come to you. And when He has appeared to you, you will be certain you
Tx:31.17  does he ask you for? And listen well! For he is asking what will  come to you because you see an image of yourself and hear your voice
Tx:31.22 Be very still an instant.  Come without all thought of what you ever learned before and put
Tx:31.22  has been made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy place to which you  come to listen silently and learn the truth of what you really want.
Tx:31.22  asked to learn. But as you hear it, you will understand you need but  come away without the thoughts you did not want and that were never
Tx:31.24  is not the form you answer to. He asks and you receive, for you have  come with but one purpose—that you both may learn you love each
Tx:31.35  world can offer seem to be quite large in number, but the time must  come when everyone begins to see how like they are to one another.
Tx:31.35  not the lesson in itself. The lesson has a purpose, and in this you  come to understand what it is for.
Tx:31.38  fight against this step is to defeat your purpose here. You did not  come to learn to find a road the world does not contain. The search
Tx:31.43  the learning of the world is for. This is its purpose—that you  come without a self and make one as you go along. And by the time you
Tx:31.49  not given, and they must be made. Not one of them is true, and many  come from feverish imaginations, hot with hatred and distortions born
Tx:31.51  the world as well as you to have such prescience in the things to  come.
Tx:31.59  can teach no images of you unless you want to learn them. There will  come a time when images have all gone by, and you will see you know
Tx:31.69  them sometimes, but will not see them as meaningless. And so they  come in fearful form, with content still concealed, to shake your
Tx:31.74  merely look on darkness and perceive the terrified imaginings that  come from guilty thoughts and concepts born of fear. And what you see
Tx:31.85 For He has  come, and He is asking this.
Tx:31.92  it occurs but disappear as mists before the sun. A miracle has  come to heal God's Son and close the door upon his dreams of
Tx:31.95  Your Sons. My faith in them is Yours. I am as sure that they will  come to me as You are sure of what they are and will forever be. They
Tx:31.97 And now we say “Amen.” For Christ has  come to dwell in the abode You set for Him before time was, in calm
W1:9.2  clear a little of the darkness away, and understanding will finally  come to lighten every corner of the mind which has been cleared of
W1:15.2  beginning of real vision. You can be certain that real vision will  come quickly when this has occurred.
W1:26.3  you can no longer believe in yourself. A false image of yourself has  come to take the place of what you are.
W1:30.5  applying today's idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects  come to mind and looking within rather than without. Today's idea
W1:31.3  your inner world, merely let whatever thoughts cross your mind  come into your awareness, each to be considered for a moment and then
W1:31.3  Try not to establish any thought of hierarchy among them. Watch them  come and go as dispassionately as possible. Do not dwell on any one
W1:42.7  understanding some of your own thoughts contain. Let them  come without censoring unless you realize your mind is merely
W1:42.7  intrude. You may also reach a point where no thoughts at all seem to  come to mind. If such interferences occur, open your eyes and repeat
W1:42.8  for today's exercises. Try merely to step back and let the thoughts  come. If you find this difficult, it is better to spend the practice
W1:46.6  After you have applied the idea for today to all those who have  come to mind, tell yourself,
W1:47.1  of any problem and to resolve it in such a way that only good can  come of it? What is there in you that gives you the recognition of
W1:50.4  your consciousness. Repeat it, think about it, let related thoughts  come to help you recognize its truth, and allow peace to flow over
W1:58.2  I see. From my holiness does the perception of the real world  come. Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. I can accept
W1:61.7  eyes closed if the situation permits. Let a few related thoughts  come to you, and repeat the idea to yourself if your mind wanders
W1:62.8 Let related thoughts  come freely, for your heart will recognize these words, and in your
W1:63.5  your eyes, you will probably find it easier to let related thoughts  come to you in the minute or two which you should devote to
W1:64.9  to reflecting on this with closed eyes. Related thoughts will  come to help you if you remember the crucial importance of your
W1:68.8  see you as my friend that I may remember you are part of me and  come to know myself.
W1:70.1  temptation not to believe the idea for today. Salvation seems to  come from anywhere except from you. So, too, does the source of
W1:70.9 My salvation comes from me. It cannot  come from anywhere else.
W1:70.11 My salvation cannot  come from any of these things. My salvation comes from me, and only
W1:75.1 The light has  come. You are healed and you can heal. The light has come. You are
W1:75.1 The light has come. You are healed and you can heal. The light has  come. You are saved, and you can save. You are at peace, and you
W1:75.1  go. Darkness and turmoil and death have disappeared. The light has  come.
W1:75.2  long dream of disaster. There are no dark dreams now. The light has  come. Today the time of light begins for you and everyone. It is a

W1:75.9  with Him. Wait patiently for Him. He will be there. The light has  come. You have forgiven the world.
W1:75.10  From this time forth you will see differently. Today the light has  come. And you will see the world that has been promised you since
W1:75.12 The light has  come. I have forgiven the world.

W1:75.15  beginning of your vision and the sight of the real world which has  come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was real.
W1:76.7  Magic imprisons, but the laws of God set free. The light has  come because there are no laws but His.

W1:88.2 [75] The light has  come. In choosing salvation rather than attack, I merely choose to
W1:88.2  and illusion, between what is there and what is not. The light has  come. I can but choose the light, for it has no alternative. It has
W1:88.4 This cannot show me darkness, for the light has  come. The light in you is all that I would see, [name]. I would see
W1:90.2  a grievance; the solution is a miracle. And I invite the solution to  come to me through my forgiveness of the grievance and my welcome of
W1:91.13  of God and all His thoughts. It is from Them your strength will  come. It is through Their strong support that you will feel the
W1:92.2 These are among the many magical beliefs that  come from the conviction you are a body and the body's eyes can see.
W1:93.11  idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace it. Let it  come into its own. Here you are. This is you. And light and joy and
W1:95.17  to lift the veil of darkness from the world and let the light in you  come through to teach the world the truth about itself. You are One
W1:96.15 If you succeed, the thoughts that  come to you will tell you you are saved and that your mind has found
W1:98.2  of purpose and with thanks that doubt is gone and surety has  come. We have a mighty purpose to fulfill and have been given
W1:98.4  yet unborn will hear the call we heard and answer it, when they have  come to make their choice again. We do not choose but for ourselves
W1:98.12  with Him. Repeat today's idea while you wait for the glad time to  come to you again. Repeat it often, and do not forget each time you
W1:98.12  you do so, you have let your mind be readied for the happy time to  come.
W1:101.5  The exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must  come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause. Accept

W1:104.8  We will not let ourselves lose sight of them between the times we  come to seek for them where He has laid them. This reminder will we

W1:107.3  intimation of the state your mind will rest in when the truth has  come.
W1:107.4  there could be no fear, no doubt, and no attack. When truth has  come, all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts

W1:107.5 When truth has  come, it does not stay a while to disappear or change to something

W1:107.5  It does not shift and alter in its form, nor come and go and go and  come again. It stays exactly as it always was, to be depended on in
W1:107.6 When truth has  come, it harbors in its wings the gift of perfect constancy and love
W1:107.7 Truth does not  come and go nor shift nor change, in this appearance now and then in
W1:108.12  pause a while, expecting to receive the gift you gave, and it will  come to you in the amount in which you gave it. You will find you
W1:109.2  suffering for all the world and everyone who ever came and yet will  come to linger for a while. Here is the thought in which the Son of
W1:109.4  You call to all to join you in your rest, and they will hear and  come to you because you rest in God. They will not hear another voice
W1:109.6  still and thankfully accept its healing. No more fearful dreams will  come now that you rest in God. Take time today to slip away from
W1:109.10 Open the temple doors, and let them  come from far across the world, and near as well—your distant
W1:110.3  created you. You need no thought but just this one to let redemption  come to light the world and free it from the past.
W1:R3.6  the Holy Spirit uses will not fail. The wisdom of your mind will  come to your assistance. Give direction at the start, and then lean
W1:R3.13  with each of these ideas will bring such large advances that we  come from these reviews with learning gains so great that we begin
W1:119.3  all things today, that I may learn how to accept the truth in me and  come to recognize my sinlessness.
W1:123.1 Today let us be thankful. We have  come to gentler pathways and to smoother roads. There is no thought
W1:123.4  not go alone. And we give thanks that in our solitude a Friend has  come to speak the saving Word of God to us.
W1:124.2  is our Companion as we walk the world a little while. And those who  come to follow us will recognize the way because the light we carry
W1:124.4 No meaningless anxieties can  come between our faith and our awareness of His Presence. We are one
W1:124.6  forms of suffering in anyone in times gone by and times as yet to  come, as easily as in the ones who walk beside them now. Their
W1:124.9  be ready to accept the gain today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it will  come to you, nor will you fail to recognize it when it dawns with
W1:127.10  it grow in strength and health to shed its blessing upon all who  come to learn to cast aside the world they thought was made in hate
W1:130.8  recognize what it is you seek. You do not want illusions. And you  come to these five minutes emptying your hands of all the petty
W1:131.17  His aid slip effortlessly past it to the light. Today that day has  come. Today God keeps His ancient promise to His holy Son, as does
W1:131.17  does His Son remember his to Him. This is a day of gladness, for we  come to the appointed time and place where you will find the goal of
W1:131.18  from dismal thoughts and meaningless laments. Salvation's time has  come. Today is set by Heaven Itself to be a time of grace for you and
W1:132.6  as you change your mind. But it is pride that argues you have  come into a world quite separate from yourself, impervious to what
W1:133.12 And so we  come to the criterion for choice which is the hardest to believe,
W1:133.12  any guilt about your choice, you have allowed the ego's goals to  come between the real alternatives, and thus you do not realize there
W1:133.14  pain. Heaven Itself is reached by empty hands and open minds, which  come with nothing to find everything and claim it as their own. We
W1:135.19  knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present, and to  come, are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is your good?
W1:135.27  hopelessness. Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for now you  come without defense to learn the part for you within the plan of
W1:136.15  And we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth to  come to us and set us free.
W1:136.16 And truth will  come, for it has never been apart from us. It merely waits for just
W1:136.21  thoughts, yield to judgment, or make plans against uncertainties to  come, you have again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity
W1:137.10  how great your offering to all the world when you let healing  come to you. But you are never healed alone. And legions upon legions
W1:137.16  place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we  come together to make well all that was sick and offer blessing where
W1:138.2  it is reflected in some form the world can understand. Truth cannot  come where it could only be perceived with fear, for this would be
W1:138.2  to illusions. Opposition makes the truth unwelcome, and it cannot  come.
W1:139.1 Here is the end of choice. For here we  come to a decision to accept ourselves as God created us. And what is
W1:139.6  to be a home where those who claim they do not know themselves can  come to question what it is they are.
W1:139.7 And they will  come again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is
W1:139.8  senseless musings such as this. We have a mission here. We did not  come to reinforce the madness which we once believed in. Let us not
W1:140.4  by forms the dream may take. Sickness where guilt is absent cannot  come, for it is but another form of guilt. Atonement does not heal
W1:140.5  you who have been cured in God and not in idle dreams. For cure must  come from holiness, and holiness cannot be found where sin is
W1:140.11  time when we can hear our Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We  come to Him today.
W1:R4.9  charge of all the thoughts you will receive that day. They will not  come from you alone, for they will all be shared with Him. And so
W1:151.10  Christ in all of them. You will no longer doubt that only good can  come to you who are beloved of God, for He will judge all happenings
W1:152.14  our Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left will  come again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home to God as
W1:153.7  is weakness. It proclaims you have denied the Christ and  come to fear His Father's anger. What can save you now from your
W1:153.11  brothers choose as they have done. God has elected all, but few have  come to realize His Will is but their own. And while you fail to
W1:153.11  the world in grim imprisonment. Nor will you learn that light has  come to you, and your escape has been accomplished. For you will not
W1:153.12  ensured. The game of fear is gladly laid aside when children  come to see the benefits salvation brings.
W1:153.13  sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over. Now a quiet time has  come in which we put away the toys of guilt and lock our quaint and
W1:153.14  escape, were but his own deluded fantasy. God's ministers have  come to waken him from the dark dreams this story has evoked in his
W1:153.17  His Voice and learn what He would have us do the hour that is yet to  come, while thanking Him for all the gifts He gave us in the one gone
W1:153.21  and strength and peace that shine from them to all their brothers  come from Him. These are His gifts to you. Defenselessness is all you
W1:155.2 The world is an illusion. Those who choose to  come to it are seeking for a place where they can be illusions and
W1:155.3  will remain awhile in evidence for those to look upon who chose to  come and have not yet rejoiced to find they were mistaken in the
W1:157.3  of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning. Yet you have  come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise
W1:157.6  leaves a vision in our eyes which we can offer everyone that he may  come the sooner to the same experience in which the world is quietly
W1:157.7  a little nearer its deliverance. And you who bring it light will  come to see the light more sure, the vision more distinct.
W1:157.8 The time will  come when you will not return in the same form in which you now
W1:158.2  vision can. The revelation that the Father and the Son are one will  come in time to every mind. Yet is that time determined by the mind
W1:158.4 Time is a trick—a sleight of hand, a vast illusion in which figures  come and go as if by magic. Yet there is a plan behind appearances
W1:158.4  which does not change. The script is written. When experience will  come to end your doubting has been set. For we but see the journey
W1:160.6  him out and show him that he is no stranger now. The miracle will  come. For in his home his Self remains. It asked no stranger in and
W1:160.9 Today we offer thanks that Christ has  come to search the world for what belongs to Him. His vision sees no
W1:160.10  his Self is clearly recognized, his home remembered, and salvation  come.
W1:161.11  have attempted earlier. Your readiness is closer now, and you will  come today nearer Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching it,
W1:161.15  you had seen as merely flesh and bone and recognize that Christ has  come to you.
W1:162.1  and vaporous illusions vanish as these words are spoken. For they  come from God.
W1:162.6  These words dispel the night, and darkness is no more. The light is  come today to bless the world, for you have recognized the Son of
W1:163.1  envy, and all forms in which the wish to be as you are not may  come to tempt you. All such thoughts are but reflections of the
W1:163.2  is real, inevitable, worthy of their trust. For it alone will surely  come.
W1:163.3  of aspirations and of dreams. But death is counted on. For it will  come with certain footsteps when the time has come for its arrival.
W1:163.3  on. For it will come with certain footsteps when the time has  come for its arrival. It will never fail to take all life as hostage
W1:164.1  is the only time there is. And so today, this instant, now, we  come to look upon what is forever there—not in our sight, but in
W1:164.3  On this day is grief laid by, for sights and sounds which  come from nearer than the world are clear to you who will today
W1:164.8  and leave a clean and open space within your mind where Christ can  come and offer you the treasure of salvation. He has need of your
W1:165.5  your blindness for the seeing eyes of Christ; your mind has  come to lay aside denial and accept the Thought of God as its
W1:166.9 Your ancient fear has  come upon you now, and justice has caught up with you at last.
W1:166.12  like Himself. The gifts you have are not for you alone. What He has  come to offer you, you now must learn to give. This is the lesson
W1:167.5 Death cannot  come from life. Ideas remain united to their source. They can extend
W1:167.5  be. As they were born, so will they then give birth. And where they  come from, there will they return.
W1:168.4  the means by which this world will disappear, and vision first will  come with knowledge but an instant later. For in grace you see a
W1:168.6 And He descends to meet us as we  come to Him, for what He has prepared for us He gives and we receive.
W1:168.7 Your grace is given me. I claim it now. Father, I  come to You. And You will come to me who asks. I am the Son You love.
W1:168.7  is given me. I claim it now. Father, I come to You. And You will  come to me who asks. I am the Son You love.
W1:169.1  It is past learning yet the goal of learning, for grace cannot  come until the mind prepares itself for true acceptance. Grace
W1:169.9  speak of things beyond and listen to words which explain what is to  come is past already. Yet what meaning can the words convey to those
W1:170.11 Where does the totally insane belief in gods of vengeance  come from? Love has not confused its attributes with those of fear.
W1:R5.8  you. For I share your doubts and fears a little while, that you may  come to me who recognize the road by which all fears and doubts are
W1:I2.3  than this is needed. It will be enough to guarantee the rest will  come.
W1:182.11  existence. Christ has called you friend and brother. He has even  come to you to ask your help in letting Him go home completed and
W1:182.11  your help in letting Him go home completed and completely. He has  come as does a little child who must beseech his father for
W1:183.8  do we give an invitation which can never be refused. And God will  come and answer it Himself. Think not He hears the little prayers of
W1:184.13  can fail who seeks the meaning of the Name of God. Experience must  come to supplement the word. But first you must accept One Name for
W1:185.4  bargain. And what bargain can give them the peace of God? Illusions  come to take His place. And what He means is lost to sleeping minds
W1:185.9  choose God's peace, or you have asked for dreams. And dreams will  come as you requested them. Yet will God's peace come just as
W1:185.9  And dreams will come as you requested them. Yet will God's peace  come just as certainly and to remain with you forever. It will not be
W1:186.6  and helpless. Sin cannot tarnish the truth in you, and misery can  come not near the holy home of God.
W1:186.14 These are the forms which never can deceive, although they  come from Formlessness Itself. Forgiveness is an earthly form of love
W1:188.8  not let them stray. We let the light within our minds direct them to  come home. We have betrayed them, ordering that they depart from us.
W1:189.7  before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and  come with wholly empty hands unto your God.
W1:189.9  choose the way in which we go to Him. But we do choose to let Him  come. And with this choice we rest. And in our quiet hearts and open
W1:190.4 Peace to such foolishness! The time has  come to laugh at such insane ideas. There is no need to think of them
W1:190.6  it as a hospital for pain, a sickly place where living things must  come at last to die?
W1:190.9 Lay down your arms and  come without defense into the quiet place where Heaven's peace holds
W1:191.10  began. For time has lost its hold upon the world. The Son of God has  come in glory to redeem the lost, to save the helpless, and to give
W1:191.10  Who could see the world as dark and sinful when God's Son has  come again at last to set it free?
W1:192.3  the world. It has no meaning here. Forgiveness is the closest it can  come to earth. For being Heaven-borne, it has no form at all. Yet God
W1:193.14  a thousand seeming obstacles to peace in just one day. Let mercy  come to you more quickly. Do not try to hold it off another day,
W1:193.16 Each hour spend a little time today, and in the days to  come, in practicing the lesson in forgiveness in the form established
W1:194.8  future in the hands of God. For thus you call the memory of Him to  come again, replacing all your thoughts of sin and evil with the
W1:194.9  For in God's hands we rest untroubled, sure that only good can  come to us. If we forget, we will be gently reassured. If we accept
W1:196.12  but you your mind can try to crucify. Yet your redemption, too, will  come from you.
W1:197.7  thanks for you unto Himself. To everyone who lives will Christ yet  come, for everyone must live and breathe in Him. His Being in His
W1:198.6  ever can be found upon this earth. His words are born in God, and  come to you with Heaven's love upon them. Those who hear His words
W1:198.6  as one at last. And as this one will fade away, the Word of God will  come to take its place, for it will be remembered then and loved.
W1:198.9 Today we practice letting freedom  come to make its home with you. The truth bestows these words upon
W1:198.15 Today we  come still nearer to the end of everything that yet would stand
W1:198.15  between this vision and our sight. And we are glad that we have  come this far and recognize that He Who brought us here will not
W1:198.15  through Him today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has  come. The time has come today.
W1:198.15  Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has come. The time has  come today.
W1:200.2 This is the final point to which each one must  come at last, to lay aside all hope of finding happiness where there
W1:200.4  Come home. You have not found your happiness in foreign places and in
W1:200.10 Now is there silence. Seek no further. You have  come to where the road is carpeted with leaves of false desires,
W1:R6.1  the world from every form of bondage and invite the memory of God to  come again.
W2:I.2  final step Himself. And we are sure His promises are kept. We have  come far along the road, and now we wait for Him. We will continue
W2:I.3 We will continue with a central thought for all the days to  come. And we will use that thought to introduce our times of rest and
W2:I.4 Now do we  come to Him with but His Word upon our minds and hearts. And wait for
W2:I.4  of invitation that His Voice suggests, and then we wait for Him to  come to us.
W2:I.5  fail. Sit silently and wait upon your Father. He has willed to  come to you when you have recognized it is your will He do so. And
W2:I.5  have recognized it is your will He do so. And you could have never  come this far unless you saw, however dimly, that it is your will.
W2:I.10  the need for practice almost done. For in this final section we will  come to understand that we need only call to God and all temptations
W2:I.11  lessons and the periods of wordless, deep experience which should  come afterwards. These special thoughts should be reviewed each day,
W2:WF.2  easily accessible to doubt, and further kept from reason. What can  come between a fixed projection and the aim that it has chosen as its
W2:221.1 Father, I  come to You today to seek the peace that You alone can give. I come
W2:221.1  I come to You today to seek the peace that You alone can give. I  come in silence. In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses of my
W2:221.1  I wait and listen for Your Voice. My Father, speak to me today. I  come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure
W2:222.2  have no words except Your Name upon our lips and in our minds as we  come quietly into Your Presence now and ask to rest with You in peace
W2:WS.4 Let us  come daily to this holy place and spend a while together. Here we
W2:WS.4  pushing through the soil, the trees are budding now, and birds have  come to live within their branches. Earth is being born again in new
W2:WS.4  is being born again in new perception. Night has gone, and we have  come together in the light.
W2:233.1  cannot be obtained and wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I  come to You. I will step back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide
W2:235.1  Will for me is only happiness to find that only happiness has  come to me. And I need but remember that His Love surrounds His Son
W2:237.2  and His the ears which listen to the Voice of God today. Father, I  come to You through Him Who is Your Son and my true Self as well.
W2:241.1  instant to the darkened world where its release is set. The day has  come when sorrows pass away and pain is gone. The glory of salvation
W2:241.2 We have forgiven one another now, and so we  come at last to You again. Father, Your Son, who never left, returns
W2:242.2 And so we give today to You. We  come with wholly open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may
W2:244.2 And there we are in truth. No storms can  come into the hallowed haven of our home. In God are we secure. For
W2:244.2  the hallowed haven of our home. In God are we secure. For what can  come to threaten God Himself or make afraid what will forever be a
W2:245.1  peace with me. For I would save Your Son as is Your Will, that I may  come to recognize my Self.
W2:245.2  all the world we give the message that we have received. And thus we  come to hear the Voice of God, Who speaks to us as we relate His
W2:246.2 I will accept the way You choose for me to  come to You, my Father. For in that will I succeed because it is Your
W2:247.1  shows me as the simple truth and I am healed completely. Brother,  come and let me look on you. Your loveliness reflects my own. Your
W2:WIS.5  these sharp-edged children's toys? How soon will you be ready to  come home? Perhaps today? There is no sin. Creation is unchanged.
W2:253.1 It is impossible that anything should  come to me unbidden by myself. Even in this world, it is I who rule
W2:254.1  today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence, I would  come to You to hear Your Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no
W2:254.1  Your Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no prayer but this: I  come to You to ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your Will,
W2:256.2 And so, our Father, would we  come to You in Your appointed way. We have no goal except to hear
W2:261.2 Let me not seek for idols. I would  come, my Father, home to You today. I choose to be as You created me
W2:262.2  are one would recognize this day the truth about ourselves. We would  come home and rest in unity. For there is peace, and nowhere else can
W2:264.1  all things within Itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We  come to You in Your own Name today, to be at peace within Your
W2:270.2 The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and through them peace will  come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His sight, we
W2:WIC.4  reaches from the Christ in you to all your dreams and bids them  come to Him to be translated into truth. He will exchange them for
W2:WIC.4  of dreams. For when forgiveness rests upon the world and peace has  come to every Son of God, what could remain to keep things separate,
W2:271.1  In Christ's sight, the world and God's creation meet, and as they  come together, all perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems
W2:276.1  of who we are, of who our Father is, and for what purpose we have  come. And yet we need but to acknowledge Him Who gave His Word to us
W2:WIHS.4  your Father's Love will not return to signify the end of dreams has  come.
W2:285.1 Today I wake with joy, expecting but the happy things of God to  come to me. I ask but them to come and realize my invitation will be
W2:285.1  but the happy things of God to come to me. I ask but them to  come and realize my invitation will be answered by the thoughts to
W2:286.1  place! This is the day that has been chosen as the time in which I  come to understand the lesson that there is no need that I do
W2:288.1  thought that leads the way to You and brings me to my goal. I cannot  come to You without my brother. And to know my Source, I first must
W2:290.1  that begin to open see at last. And I would have Christ's vision  come to me this very day. What I perceive without God's own
W2:290.2 With this resolve, I  come to You and ask Your strength to hold me up today while I but
W2:296.2  easy reach and quick accomplishment. How gladly does the Holy Spirit  come to rescue us from hell when we allow His teaching to persuade
W2:298.2 Father, I  come to You today, because I would not follow any way but Yours. You
W2:300.1  be used to say that death and sorrow are the certain lot of all who  come here. For their joys are gone before they are possessed, or even
W2:WISC.4  itself cannot affect. For everyone who ever came to die or yet will  come or who is present now is equally released from what he made. In
W2:302.1  changes darkness into light, for fear must disappear when love has  come. Let me forgive Your holy world today that I may look upon its
W2:302.2  fails in nothing. He the end we seek, and He the means by which we  come to Him.
W2:303.2 Your Son is welcome, Father. He has  come to save me from the evil self I made. He is the Self that You
W2:305.1  carries it to truth, no more to be the home of fear. For Love has  come and healed the world by giving it Christ's peace.
W2:305.2  Help us today but to accept Your gift and judge it not. For it has  come to us to save us from our judgment on ourselves.
W2:306.2  remembering Your holy gifts to us. In gratitude and thankfulness, we  come, with empty hands and open hearts and minds, asking but what You
W2:307.2  this prayer, we enter silently into a state where conflict cannot  come because we join our holy will with God's in recognition that
W2:308.1  I can be saved from time is now. For in this instant has forgiveness  come to set me free. The birth of Christ is now, without a past or
W2:308.1  free. The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future. He has  come to give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to
W2:310.1  You, Your gracious calling to Your holy Son, the sign Your grace has  come to me and that it is Your will that I be free today.
W2:312.1  have chosen to behold. How surely, therefore, must the real world  come to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes the Holy Spirit's
W2:313.1  fear has gone and where it was is love invited in. And love will  come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of
W2:313.1  sees no sin in anything He looks upon. Now let His true perception  come to me that I may waken from the dream of guilt and look within
W2:313.2  of Christ. How beautiful we are! How holy and how loving! Brother,  come and join with me today. We save the world when we are joined.
W2:315.1 Each day a thousand treasures  come to me with every passing moment. I am blessed with gifts
W2:315.2 I thank You, Father, for the many gifts that  come to me today and every day from every Son of God. My brothers are
W2:316.1  open doors that not one gift is lost and only more are added. Let me  come to where my treasures are and enter in where I am truly welcome
W2:319.1  opposes truth. But where there is no arrogance, the truth will  come immediately and fill up the space the ego left unoccupied by
W2:323.1  of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt and freely let Your Love  come streaming in to his awareness, healing him of pain and giving
W2:327.1  from my experience that this is true, and faith in Him must surely  come to me. This is the faith that will endure and take me farther
W2:327.1  me still, awaiting but my call to give me all the help I need to  come to Him.
W2:338.1 It needs but this to let salvation  come to all the world. For in this single thought is everyone
W2:WIM.3  stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to curse has  come to bless. Each lily of forgiveness offers all the world the
W2:342.2 Brother, forgive me now. I  come to you to take you home with me. And as we go, the world goes
W2:345.2 Peace to all seeking hearts today. The light has  come to offer miracles to bless the tired world. It will find rest
W2:347.1  it is Your own. And He will speak for me, and call Your miracle to  come to me.
W2:352.1 Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone and judges not. Through this I  come to You. Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet love,
W2:353.1  mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose. Thus has learning  come almost to its appointed end. A while I work with Him to serve
W2:FL.6 We  come in honesty to Him and say we did not understand and ask Him to

M:12.4  understand because of their Source. From this understanding will  come the recognition in this new teacher of God of what the body's
M:12.4  really is for it. This lesson is enough to let the thought of unity  come in, and what is one is recognized as one. The teachers of God

W1:169.9  no one in the world can understand. When revelation of your oneness  comes, it will be known and fully understood. Now we have work to do,
W1:169.10  the rest depends on. As you take the role assigned to you, salvation  comes a little nearer each uncertain heart that does not beat as yet
W1:169.13  Its coming is ensured. We ask for grace and for experience that  comes from grace. We welcome the release it offers everyone. We do

W1:193.9  sin and rid the mind of fear. These are the words by which salvation  comes to all the world.

Tx:14.20  the separation as a means which you have made for breaking your  communication with your Father. The Holy Spirit reinterprets it as a
Tx:14.21  language you have made. It has no meaning, for its purpose is not  communication, but rather the disruption of communication. If the
Tx:14.21  for its purpose is not communication, but rather the disruption of  communication. If the purpose of language is communication, how can

Tx:14.23 The Holy Spirit's function is entirely  communication. He therefore must remove whatever interferes with it
Tx:14.34  place where God, united with His Son, speaks to His Son through Him.  Communication between what cannot be divided cannot cease. The holy
Tx:14.34  His Son lies in the Holy Spirit and in you. All interference in the  communication that God Himself wills with His Son is quite impossible
Tx:15.40  The holy instant is a time in which you receive and give perfect  communication. This means, however, that it is a time in which your
Tx:15.40  to receive and give. It is the recognition that all minds are in  communication. It therefore seeks to change nothing, but merely to
Tx:15.41  and keep them? The only way you could do that is to deny the perfect  communication that makes the holy instant what it is. You believe
Tx:15.41  would share. And then you wonder why it is that you are not in full  communication with those around you and with God Who surrounds all of
Tx:15.42 Every thought you would keep hidden shuts  communication off because you would have it so. It is impossible to
Tx:15.42  because you would have it so. It is impossible to recognize perfect  communication while breaking communication holds value to you. Ask
Tx:15.42  It is impossible to recognize perfect communication while breaking  communication holds value to you. Ask yourselves honestly, “Would I
Tx:15.42  value to you. Ask yourselves honestly, “Would I want to have perfect  communication, and am I wholly willing to let everything that

Tx:15.63  you were not only an idea and nothing else, you could not be in full  communication with all that ever was. Yet as long as you prefer to be
Tx:15.63  to be nothing else and something else together, the language of  communication, which you know perfectly, you will not remember.
Tx:15.64 In the holy instant God is remembered, and the language of  communication with all your brothers is remembered with Him. For

Tx:15.75  communication. And if you think it is, you will feel guilty about  communication and will be afraid to hear the Holy Spirit, recognizing
Tx:15.76  held there by guilt. And you will see safety in guilt and danger in  communication. For the ego will always teach that loneliness is
Tx:15.76  ego will always teach that loneliness is solved by guilt and that  communication is the cause of loneliness. And despite the evident
Tx:15.77 Forgiveness lies in  communication as surely as damnation lies in guilt. It is the Holy
Tx:15.77  Holy Spirit's teaching function to instruct those who believe that  communication is damnation that communication is salvation. And He
Tx:15.77  to instruct those who believe that communication is damnation that  communication is salvation. And He will do so, for the power of God
Tx:15.77  impossible. In the holy instant, guilt holds no attraction, since  communication has been restored. And guilt, whose only purpose is to
Tx:15.77  has been restored. And guilt, whose only purpose is to disrupt  communication, has no function here.
Tx:15.78  and no private thoughts. The willingness to communicate attracts  communication to it and overcomes loneliness completely. There is
Tx:15.83  form it takes. And so He has kept this channel open to receive His  communication to you and yours to Him. God does not understand your
Tx:15.83  to you and yours to Him. God does not understand your problem in  communication, for He does not share it with you. It is only you who
Tx:15.86  of the separation. And both are nothing more than attempts to limit  communication and thereby to make it impossible. For communication
Tx:15.86  to limit communication and thereby to make it impossible. For  communication must be unlimited in order to have meaning, and
Tx:15.90  have attempted to separate the Father from the Son and limit their  communication. Seek not Atonement in further separation. And limit
Tx:15.91  a means for getting anything, then there will be no interference in  communication, and your thoughts will be as free as God's. As you let
Tx:15.91  the Holy Spirit teach you how to use the body only for purposes of  communication and renounce its use for separation and attack which
Tx:15.107  minds are joined without the body's interference, and where there is  communication, there is peace. The Prince of Peace was born to
Tx:15.107  Peace was born to reestablish the condition of love by teaching that  communication remains unbroken, even if the body is destroyed,
Tx:15.107  provided that you see not the body as the necessary means of  communication. And if you understand this lesson, you will realize
Tx:15.107  will realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice nothing, and  communication, which must be of the mind, cannot be sacrificed.
Tx:15.108  my brothers is that sacrifice is nowhere and love is everywhere. For  communication embraces everything, and in the peace it

Tx:19.87  What has been given you, even in its infancy, is in full  communication with God and you. In its tiny hands, it holds in
Tx:22.10  your language. You do not understand it yet, only because your whole  communication is like a baby's. The sounds a baby makes and what he

Tx:30.87 How can  communication really be established while the symbols which are used

Tx:10.59  who believe in the resurrection will see it. The resurrection is the  complete triumph of Christ over the ego, not by attack but by
Tx:10.63  he made or the God who created him. That is why his slavery is as  complete as his freedom, for he will obey only the god he accepts.
Tx:11.21  I failed not in mine. Give me but a little trust in the name of the  complete trust I have in you, and we will easily accomplish the goal
Tx:11.52  because the goal is not divided, and the means and the end are in  complete accord. You need offer only undivided attention. Everything
Tx:12.19  total love, you will not be healed completely. Healing must be as  complete as fear, for love cannot enter where there is one spot of
Tx:13.2  for in you is all knowledge. Perception at its loftiest is never  complete. Even the perception of the Holy Spirit, as perfect as
Tx:13.49  offer you the testimony that you are blessed. If what you offer is  complete forgiveness, you must have let guilt go, accepting the
Tx:14.1  knowing Him. Accepting His Son as guilty is denial of the Father so  complete that knowledge is swept away from recognition in the very
Tx:14.28  endowed with firm belief. Bring them together, and the fact of their  complete incompatibility is instantly apparent. One will go because
Tx:15.19  released through the Holy Spirit in a brother, if the release is  complete, is always recognized. He cannot be denied. As long as you
Tx:15.19  as you remain uncertain, it can be only because you have not given  complete release. And because of this, you have not given one single
Tx:15.20  own vision, you cannot supply. And here it is, all in this instant,  complete, accomplished, and given wholly.
Tx:15.32  make no more gifts to offer to yourselves, for you will know you are  complete, in need of nothing, and unable to accept anything for
Tx:15.47  salvation is the belief that separation is salvation. For it is the  complete equality of the Atonement in which salvation lies. How can
Tx:15.65  This is the only love that is fully given and fully returned. Being  complete, it asks nothing. Being wholly pure, everyone joined in it
Tx:15.78  communication to it and overcomes loneliness completely. There is  complete forgiveness here, for there is no desire to exclude anyone
Tx:15.78  that your completion is God's, Whose only need is to have you be  complete. For your completion makes you His in your awareness. And
Tx:15.79  that forgiveness is not loss but your salvation. And that in  complete forgiveness, in which you recognize that there is nothing to
Tx:15.89  to linger here. For it is your will to be in Heaven, where you are  complete and quiet in such sure and loving relationships that any
Tx:15.99  who but seems to offer kindness, but always to make the sacrifice  complete.
Tx:15.110  you would accomplish. Nothing will be lacking, and you will make  complete and not destroy. Say and understand this:
Tx:16.37  You seek but for your own completion, and it is they who render you  complete. The special love relationship is but a shabby substitute
Tx:16.37  of the oneness of creation, without which you could never be  complete. No specialness can offer you what God has given and what
Tx:16.41  in union with you. The journey that seemed to be endless is almost  complete, for what is endless is very near. You have almost
Tx:16.42  At its center, and only there, you are safe forever because you are  complete forever. There is no veil the love of God in us together
Tx:16.47  both the ego and the Holy Spirit accept it. They are, however, in  complete disagreement on what completion is and how it is
Tx:16.49  relationship. This “self” seeks the relationship to make itself  complete. Yet when it finds the special relationship in which it
Tx:16.53  nor ever will be completed. For the ritual of completion cannot  complete, and life arises not from death, nor Heaven from hell.
Tx:16.57  every learning that would hurt you, God offers you correction and  complete escape from all its consequences. The decision whether or
Tx:16.69  to give it to you completely. And your willingness need not be  complete because His is perfect. It is His task to atone for your
Tx:16.76  illusions into the holy instant to hinder your full awareness of the  complete difference in all respects between your experience of truth
Tx:17.6  in Whom all is brought to truth. [Salvation from separation will be  complete or will be not at all.] Be not concerned with anything
Tx:17.9  in God's plan of Atonement. All else is learned, but this is given,  complete and wholly perfect. No one but Him Who planned salvation
Tx:17.9  and wholly perfect. No one but Him Who planned salvation could  complete it thus. The real world, in its loveliness, you learn to
Tx:17.11 The real world is attained simply by the  complete forgiveness of the old, the world you see without
Tx:17.21 The Holy Spirit wills only to make His resolutions  complete and perfect, and so He seeks and finds the source of
Tx:17.35  aspects of this thought system, for these aspects enclose the whole,  complete in every aspect. Death lies in this glittering gift. Let not
Tx:17.38 Two gifts are offered you. Each is  complete and cannot be partially accepted. Each is a picture of all
Tx:17.42  for in it they are one. For here is only healing, already  complete and perfect. For here is God, and where He is, only the
Tx:17.42  and perfect. For here is God, and where He is, only the perfect and  complete can be.
Tx:17.47  to its liking. Only a radical shift in purpose could induce a  complete change of mind about what the whole relationship is for. As
Tx:17.71  which does not involve your whole relationship in every aspect and  complete in every part. You can leave nothing of yourself outside it
Tx:18.3  fragmented perception from which the behavior stems. No one is seen  complete. The body is emphasized, with special emphasis on certain
Tx:18.24  in which no ray of light could enter. And you sought a blackness so  complete that you could hide from truth forever in complete insanity.
Tx:18.24  a blackness so complete that you could hide from truth forever in  complete insanity. What you forgot was simply that God cannot destroy
Tx:18.28  And in your desire lies its accomplishment. Your desire is now in  complete accord with all the power of the Holy Spirit's will. No
Tx:18.72  Him. The body is a tiny fence around a little part of a glorious and  complete idea. It draws a circle, infinitely small, around a very
Tx:18.78  impartial in its giving, encompassing only to preserve and keep  complete what it would give. In your tiny kingdom, you have so
Tx:18.85  Within its barricades is still a tiny segment of the Son of God,  complete and holy, serene and unaware of what you think surrounds it.
Tx:18.95  learning ends there God begins, for learning ends before Him Who is  complete where He begins and where there is no end. It is not for us
Tx:19.8  But illusions are always connected, as is truth. Each is united, a  complete thought system, but totally disconnected to each other.
Tx:19.8  to each other. Where there is no overlap, there separation must be  complete. And to perceive this is to recognize where separation is
Tx:19.22  wants; a world it rules, made up of bodies, mindless and capable of  complete corruption and decay. If this is a mistake, it can be undone
Tx:19.37  both of you with glowing happiness and the calm awareness of  complete protection. And you will carry its message of love and
Tx:19.58  have calls upon pain to fill your meager store and make your lives  complete. This is completion, as the ego sees it. For guilt creeps in
Tx:19.83  so will it seem to be. Death, were it true, would be the final and  complete disruption of communication which is the ego's goal.
Tx:19.97  lift up your eyes and look upon each other in innocence born of  complete forgiveness of each other's illusions and through the eyes
Tx:19.98  walked beside him. And no one would dare to look on it without  complete forgiveness of his brother in his heart. Stand you here a
Tx:19.100  upon each other with perfect faith and love and tenderness. Before  complete forgiveness, you still stand unforgiving. You are afraid of
Tx:19.107  sins he thinks he sees within himself. Offer each other freedom and  complete release from sin here in the garden of seeming agony and
Tx:20.3  be united in crucifixion and in death. Nor can the resurrection be  complete till your forgiveness rests on Christ, along with mine. A
Tx:20.33  the rest. For in your part lies all of it, without which is no part  complete, nor is the whole completed without your part. The ark of
Tx:20.33  to rest and to remember, without you? Except you be there, he is not  complete. And it is his completion that he remembers there.
Tx:21.14  that you need do for vision, happiness, release from pain, and the  complete escape from sin, all to be given you. Say only this, but
Tx:21.54  this must have an answer if the plan of God for your salvation is  complete. And it must be complete because its Source knows not of

Tx:21.65  be healed, in that same instant is his whole salvation seen as  complete with yours. Reason is given you to understand that this is
Tx:21.89 You who  complete God's Will and are His happiness, whose will is powerful as
Tx:22.2  thinks the other has what he has not. They come together, each to  complete himself and rob the other. They stay until they think
Tx:22.21  this course, for here the separation of you and the ego must be made  complete. For if you have the means to let the Holy Spirit's purpose
Tx:22.57 When you have looked upon each other with  complete forgiveness from which no error is excluded and nothing kept
Tx:23.6  this? For here is your salvation and your freedom. And it must be  complete if you would recognize it.
Tx:23.31 Never is your possession made  complete. And never will your brother cease his attack on you for
Tx:23.43  a little and give up the rest. Salvation gives up nothing. It is  complete for everyone. Let the idea of compromise but enter, and the
Tx:23.50  God gave His Son, for your forgiveness of one another is not  complete as yet, and so it cannot be extended to all creation. Each
Tx:23.54  past, their present, and their future always the same, eternally  complete, and wholly shared. They know it is impossible their
Tx:24.22  not denied to him. But can it be that you have lost because he is  complete? What has been given him makes you complete, as it does him.
Tx:24.22  have lost because he is complete? What has been given him makes you  complete, as it does him. God's love gave you to him and him to you
Tx:24.45  home? He looked upon you first but recognized that you were not  complete. And so He sought for your completion in each living thing
Tx:24.48  you and before, leading the way that He must go to find Himself  complete. His quietness becomes your certainty. And where is doubt
Tx:24.49  is still and peace descends on it in gentleness and blessing so  complete that not one trace of conflict still remains to haunt you in
Tx:24.59  eyes, you are a separate universe with all the power to hold itself  complete within itself, with every entry shut against intrusion and
Tx:25.7  is framed in holiness and perfect purity, in love celestial and so  complete it wishes only that it may release all that it looks upon
Tx:25.20  creation as the perfect Father that He is. And so His joy is made  complete when any part of Him joins in His praise, to share His joy.
Tx:25.20  what he is. And all His thanks and gladness shine on you who would  complete His joy along with Him. And thus is yours completed. Not one
Tx:25.20  can be seen by those who will to make their Father's happiness  complete and theirs along with His. The gratitude of God Himself is
Tx:25.22  His Will is brought together as you join in will that you be made  complete by offering completion to your brother. See not in him the
Tx:25.26  of perfect sinlessness. Nothing arises but is met with instant and  complete forgiveness.
Tx:25.41  him for you! He has no need but this—that you allow him freedom to  complete the task God gave to him. Remembering but this—that what
Tx:25.46  salvation he alone can fill—a part for only him. Nor is the plan  complete until he finds his special function and fulfills the part
Tx:25.46  function and fulfills the part assigned to him to make himself  complete within a world where incompletion rules.
Tx:25.47  salvation. Forgiveness is for all. But when it rests on all, it is  complete and every function of this world completed with it. Then is
Tx:25.77 You have the right to all the universe—to perfect peace,  complete deliverance from all effects of sin, and to the life
Tx:25.77  from all effects of sin, and to the life eternal, joyous and  complete in every way, as God appointed for His holy Son. This is the
Tx:26.2  you see is based on “sacrifice” of oneness. It is a picture of a  complete disunity and total lack of joining. Around each entity is
Tx:26.2  the wall. Each part must sacrifice the other part to keep itself  complete. For if they joined, each one would lose its own identity,
Tx:26.29  their song of gratitude and praise. And as they come to you to be  complete, so will you go with them. For no one hears the song of
Tx:26.56 Salvation, perfect and  complete, asks but a little wish that what is true be true; a little
Tx:26.56  you to replace the world you see with Heaven, wholly perfect and  complete. What is forgiveness but a willingness that truth be true?
Tx:26.80  grow ever brighter as each one comes home. The incomplete is made  complete again, and Heaven's joy has been increased because what is
Tx:27.35  this appears to interfere with power unlimited and single thoughts,  complete and happy, without opposite. You do not know the peace of
Tx:27.50  their different forms. All learning aims at transfer, which becomes  complete within two situations which are seen as one, for only common
Tx:28.45  that lies between the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your holiness,  complete and perfect, lies in every one of them. And they are joined
Tx:29.21  by your perfection? Or are you the proof that He is perfect and  complete? Deny Him not His witness in the dream His Son prefers to
Tx:29.33  function is. He was created that you might be whole, for only the  complete can be a part of God's completion, Which created you.
Tx:29.44  that it seek for what he lacks and give him what would make himself  complete. And thus he wanders aimlessly about in search of something
Tx:29.48  to the dream that you must find what is outside yourself to be  complete and happy. It is vain to worship idols in the hope of peace.
Tx:29.49  in it a place of idols found outside yourself, with power to make  complete what is within by splitting what you are between the two.
Tx:29.53  but substitutes for your reality. In some way, you believe they will  complete your little self [and let you walk in] safety in a world
Tx:29.68  he has not heard it since before all time began. Forgiveness, once  complete, brings timelessness so close the song of Heaven can be
Tx:30.40  To seek a special person or a thing to add to you to make yourself  complete can only mean that you believe some form is missing. And by
Tx:30.41  to ask for. Nor could it be possible it be denied. Your will to be  complete is but God's Will, and this is given you by being His. God
Tx:30.41  Creation gives no separate person and no separate thing the power to  complete the Son of God. What idol can be called upon to give the Son
Tx:30.47  you remains exactly as it always was. Surrounded by a stillness so  complete no sound of battle comes remotely near, it rests in
Tx:30.70  no foundation. It is here escape from fear begins and will be made  complete. Here is the real world given in exchange for dreams of
Tx:31.41  In unity with Him do they abide, and in their Oneness both are kept  complete.
Tx:31.97  remains to hide the face of Christ from anyone. Thy Will is done,  complete and perfectly, and all creation recognizes You and knows You

Tx:19.46  to get rid of Him Who you invited in and push Him out must produce  conflict. As you look upon the world, this little wish, uprooted and
Tx:19.84  that speaks for God. Yet the retreat to death is not the end of  conflict. Only God's Answer is its end. The obstacle of your seeming
Tx:22.45  only weakness interferes? You are the strong ones in this seeming  conflict. And you need no defense. Everything that needs defense you
Tx:23.7  memory of God comes to the quiet mind. It cannot come where there is  conflict, for a mind at war against itself remembers not eternal

Tx:23.10  the giver of your peace. Your “enemy” was God Himself, to Whom all  conflict, triumph, and attack of any kind are all unknown. He loves

Tx:23.13  and there is no victory. And truth stands radiant, apart from  conflict, untouched and quiet in the peace of God.
Tx:23.14  Conflict must be between two forces. It cannot exist between one
Tx:23.14  of you. And by attacking it, you make two illusions of yourself in  conflict with each other. And this occurs whenever you look on

Tx:24.24  all intrusions of sanity upon illusions, safe from God, and safe for  conflict everlasting. Here are the gates of hell you closed upon
Tx:24.48 There must be doubt before there can be  conflict. And every doubt must be about yourself. Christ has no

Tx:26.18  could there be complexity in Him? What is there to decide? For it is  conflict that makes choice [complex]. The truth is simple—it is

Tx:26.32 God gave His Teacher to replace the one you made, not to  conflict with it. And what He would replace has been replaced. Time
Tx:27.36  are all things answered and is every problem quietly resolved. In  conflict there can be no answer and no resolution, for its purpose is
Tx:27.36  possible and to ensure no answer will be plain. A problem set in  conflict has no answer, for it is seen in different ways. And what
Tx:27.36  from one point of view is not an answer in another light. You are in  conflict. Thus it must be clear you cannot answer anything at all,
Tx:27.36  Thus it must be clear you cannot answer anything at all, for  conflict has no limited effects. Yet if God gave an answer, there

Tx:5.59  the Kingdom is attained through the Atonement, which releases you to  create. The word “create” is appropriate here because, once what you
Tx:5.70  What you will, you expect. This is not delusional. Your mind does  create your future, and it can turn it back to full creation at any
Tx:6.32  by the Holy Spirit under the laws of God. God created you to  create. You cannot extend His Kingdom until you know of its wholeness.
Tx:6.80  nothing is difficult that is wholly desired. To desire wholly is to  create, and creating cannot be difficult if God Himself created you
Tx:6.88  Choosing through the Holy Spirit will lead you to the Kingdom. You  create by what you are, but this is what you must learn. The way to
Tx:7.1  in which you share, and because you share it, you are inspired to  create like God. Yet in creation you are not in reciprocal relation
Tx:7.1  in reciprocal relation to God, since He created you, but you did not  create Him. We have already said that only in this respect your

Tx:7.3  He has always been. Your creations have always been, because you can  create only as God creates. Eternity is yours, because He created you
Tx:7.4  to limit giving, and this is not God's Will. To will with God is to  create like Him. God does not limit His gifts in any way. You are His
Tx:7.6 To think like God is to share His certainty of what you are and to  create like Him is to share the perfect love He shares with you. To

Tx:7.40  the ego can only teach you that the body can both communicate and  create and therefore does not need the mind. The ego thus tries to

Tx:8.47  who he is. Creation is the Will of God. His Will created you to  create. Your will was not created separate from His, and so it wills
Tx:8.49  be alone. That is why He created His Son and gave him the power to  create with Him.
Tx:8.104  created. As long as you believe that fear is possible, you will not  create. Opposing orders of reality make reality meaningless, and
Tx:9.8  time, because that is what time is for. God gave you the function to  create in eternity. You do not need to learn this, but you do need to
Tx:9.34  you, but not even this would He keep from you. Therefore you can  create as He did, and your dissociation will not alter this. Neither
Tx:9.34  nor yours is dimmed because you do not see. Because the Sonship must  create as one, you remember creation whenever you recognize part of
Tx:9.61  Himself. He created you for Himself, but He gave you the power to  create for your self so you could be like Him. That is why your will
Tx:9.67  the instant you desire it wholly, for if to desire wholly is to  create, you will have willed away the separation, returning your mind
Tx:9.82  by making him, you made yourself able to hear him. Yet you did not  create him, because he is not the Will of the Father. He is therefore
Tx:9.92  unseen. Perceiving the spark will heal, but knowing the light will  create. Yet in the returning, the little light must be acknowledged
Tx:9.97  by nothing. Your gods are nothing, because your Father did not  create them. You cannot make creators who are unlike your Creator any
Tx:9.97  created a Son who was unlike Him. If creation is sharing, it cannot  create what is unlike itself. It can share only what it is.
Tx:9.105 Do not perceive anything God did not  create, or you are denying Him. His is the only Fatherhood, and it is
Tx:10.8  the Eternal, Who placed no limits on His creation nor upon those who  create like Him. You do not know this simply because you have tried
Tx:10.11  as He gives. Your fatherhood and your Father are one. God willed to  create, and your will is His. It follows, then, that you will to
Tx:10.11  to create, and your will is His. It follows, then, that you will to  create since your will follows from His. And being an extension of
Tx:10.25  beauty that you will know it is not of you. Out of your joy you will  create beauty in His name, for your joy could no more be contained
Tx:10.71  which is true. To establish your personal autonomy, you tried to  create unlike your Father, believing what you made to be capable of
Tx:13.9  to the Fatherhood of God, and He has given you the power to  create the witnesses to [yours, which is as His. Deny a brother here,
Tx:13.52  deny it. Undoing is indirect, as doing is. You were created only to  create, neither to see nor do. These are but indirect expressions of
Tx:14.37  with which the Father joins Himself to those He gives the power to  create like Him can never be dissolved. Heaven itself is union with
Tx:17.26  to enable you to hurt yourselves through them. They were created to  create with you. This is the truth that I would interpose between you
Tx:17.28 In this world it is impossible to  create, yet it is possible to make happy. We have said repeatedly
Tx:18.34  but the determination to be as you would make yourself? God did not  create His dwelling-place unworthy of Him. And if you believe He
Tx:18.57  is. Yet this could only be if God were wrong. God would have had to  create differently and to have separated Himself from His Son to make
Tx:18.57  Himself from His Son to make this possible. He would have had to  create different things and to establish different orders of reality,

Tx:18.94  is not the end. Forgiveness does make lovely, but it does not  create. It is the source of healing, but it is the messenger of love
Tx:21.25  its maker thinks it causes. Long ago we spoke of your desire to  create your own Creator and be father and not son to Him. This is the
Tx:21.26  you made the world you see as that you recognize that you did not  create yourself. They are the same mistake. Nothing created not by
Tx:21.27  It is the Source of his creating. Apart from this he has no power to  create, and what he makes is meaningless. It changes nothing in
Tx:23.48  Son of Life. How can a body be extended to hold the universe? Can it  create and be what it creates? And can it offer its creations all
Tx:23.49 God does not share His function with a body. He gave the function to  create unto His Son because it is His own. It is not sinful to
Tx:24.40  lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes real, as surely as does will  create. The power of a wish upholds illusions as strongly as does
Tx:25.53  insane. This world is meaningless because it rests on sin. Who could  create the changeless if it does not rest on truth?
Tx:28.16  by its effects; the Father is a father by His Son. Effects do not  create their cause, but they establish its causation. Thus, the Son
Tx:28.47  exist because God shared His Will with you, that His creation might  create.
Tx:29.23  freedom is it given unto you. Make way for love, which you did not  create, but which you can extend. On earth this means forgive your
Tx:30.60 The final step is God's because it is but God Who could  create a perfect Son and share His Fatherhood with him. No one

W1:14.5  not create that airplane crash, and so it is not real. God did not  create that disaster [specify], and so it is not real.

Tx:6.46 When God  created you, He made you part of Him. That is why attack within the
Tx:6.50  You are a Child of God, a priceless part of His Kingdom, which He  created as part of Him. Nothing else exists, and only this is real.
Tx:6.51 Yet the Kingdom and all that you have  created there will have great reality for you, because they are
Tx:6.53  or you cannot use them. This is not true of anything that God  created, but it is the kindest solution possible to what you have
Tx:6.55  not exist. Fidelity to premises is a law of mind, and everything God  created is faithful to His laws. Fidelity to other laws is also
Tx:6.55  have sinned? If He confronted the self you made with the truth He  created for you, what could you be but afraid? You would doubt your
Tx:6.56  not there. God is not conflicted. Teaching aims at change, but God  created only the changeless. The separation was not a loss of
Tx:6.76  which voice is true, but the Holy Spirit teaches you that truth was  created by God, and your decision cannot change it. As you begin to
Tx:6.80  wholly is to create, and creating cannot be difficult if God Himself  created you as a creator. The second step, then, is still perceptual,
Tx:6.89  only what God put there, you are acknowledging your mind as God  created it. Therefore, you are accepting it as it is. Since it is
Tx:6.92  transfers to the whole Sonship, which is immeasurable because it was  created by the Immeasurable, the learning itself must be incomplete.
Tx:7.1  Yet in creation you are not in reciprocal relation to God, since He  created you, but you did not create Him. We have already said that
Tx:7.2 If you  created God and He created you, the Kingdom could not increase
Tx:7.2 If you created God and He  created you, the Kingdom could not increase through its own creative
Tx:7.2  God's accomplishments are not yours. But yours are like His. He  created the Sonship, and you increase it. You have the power to add
Tx:7.3  you can create only as God creates. Eternity is yours, because He  created you eternal.
Tx:7.5  I was. What you believe you are determines your gifts, and if God  created you by extending Himself as you, you can only extend yourself
Tx:7.7  His creations are changeless. He does nothing last, because He  created first and for always. It must be understood that the word
Tx:7.7  in the Holy Trinity itself. He is the Prime Creator, because He  created His co-creators. Because He did, time applies neither to Him
Tx:7.7  Because He did, time applies neither to Him nor to what He  created. The “last step” that God [was said to] take was therefore
Tx:7.8  changeless. It does not change by increase, because it was forever  created to increase. If you perceive it as not increasing, you do not
Tx:7.8  increasing, you do not know what it is. You also do not know what  created it or Who He is. God does not reveal this to you, because it
Tx:7.14  law is not adapted at all, being the law of creation. God Himself  created the law by creating by it. And His Sons, who create like Him,
Tx:7.25  the light. You did not make this power, any more than I did. It was  created to be shared and therefore cannot be meaningfully perceived
Tx:7.46  with Him. You cannot separate your self from your Creator, Who  created you by sharing His being with you.
Tx:7.47  his mind he has changed the most powerful device that was ever  created for change.
Tx:7.48 This in no way contradicts the changelessness of mind as God  created it, but you think that you have changed it as long as you
Tx:7.50 That is how God Himself  created you—in understanding, in appreciation, and in love. The ego
Tx:7.50  of the increase of the Kingdom by your creations, which can only be  created as you were. The whole glory and perfect joy that is the
Tx:7.51  I cannot forget Him. To forget me is to forget yourself and Him Who  created you. Our brothers are forgetful. That is why they need your
Tx:7.51  forgetful. That is why they need your remembrance of me and Him who  created me. Through this remembrance, you can change their minds
Tx:7.67  Kingdom, you are not thinking with your Creator and creating as He  created.
Tx:7.69  can only accomplish perfectly, extending the joy in which it was  created and identifying itself with both its Creator and its
Tx:7.76 Only honor is a fitting gift for those whom God Himself  created worthy of honor and whom He honors. Give them the
Tx:7.76  in His love and protect your rest by loving. But love everything He  created of which you are a part, or you cannot learn of His peace and
Tx:7.76  know your own perfection until you have honored all those who were  created like you.
Tx:7.82  which always operates. It is the law by which you create and were  created. It is the law which unifies the Kingdom and keeps it in the
Tx:7.91  the ego, but self-fullness is of the Soul, because that is how God  created it. The Holy Spirit is the part of the mind that lies between
Tx:7.92  which includes God, and any totality must include God. Everything He  created is given all His power, because it is part of Him and shares
Tx:7.93 The Soul yearns to share its being as its Creator did.  Created by sharing, its will is to create. It does not wish to
Tx:7.95  Son of God are yours since every creation belongs to everyone, being  created for the Sonship as a whole.
Tx:7.108  well. Everything he does becomes a strain, because he was not  created for the environment that he has made. He therefore cannot
Tx:7.109  cannot make it any more than you can make yourselves. It has been  created for you, as you were created for it. God watches over His
Tx:7.109  you can make yourselves. It has been created for you, as you were  created for it. God watches over His Children and denies them
Tx:7.111  since truth is the environment by which and for which you were  created.
Tx:7.112  not know your creations, because you do not know your brothers, who  created them with you. We said before that only the whole Sonship is
Tx:7.112  his creative power, and you are denying yours and that of God, Who  created you. You cannot deny part of truth. You do not know your
Tx:7.113  His Being with you, you can know Him. But you must also know all He  created to know what they have shared. Without your Father, you will
Tx:8.13  Deny yourself this and you are denying God His Kingdom because He  created you for this. When we said, “All power and glory are yours
Tx:8.14  its extension is unlimited, and it encompasses all things because it  created all things. By creating all things, it made them part of
Tx:8.14  of itself. You are the Will of God, because this is how you were  created. Because your Creator creates only like Himself, you are like
Tx:8.16  your minds. There is no limit on His Will to teach, because He was  created [by unlimited Will in order] to teach. Knowing His function
Tx:8.18  their joint will. This is perfect creation by the perfectly  created in union with Perfect Creator. The Father must give
Tx:8.32 Nothing God  created can oppose your will, as nothing God created can oppose His.
Tx:8.32 Nothing God created can oppose your will, as nothing God  created can oppose His. God gave your will its power, which I can
Tx:8.33  is in Him. Join then with me in praise of Him and you whom He  created. This is our gift of gratitude to Him, which He will share
Tx:8.43  Yet God did not will the destruction of His creations, having  created them for eternity. His Will has saved you, not from
Tx:8.43  whom the world denies, for over His Kingdom, it has no power. No one  created by God can find joy in anything except the eternal. That is
Tx:8.45  as He wants His. Your creations are your gift to the Holy Trinity,  created in gratitude for your creation. They do not leave you, any
Tx:8.45  And what is real except the creations of God and those which are  created like His? Your creations love you as your Soul loves your
Tx:8.47  unless he knows who he is. Creation is the Will of God. His Will  created you to create. Your will was not created separate from His,
Tx:8.47  the Will of God. His Will created you to create. Your will was not  created separate from His, and so it wills as He wills.
Tx:8.49  us be alone, because He does not will to be alone. That is why He  created His Son and gave him the power to create with Him.
Tx:8.85  is impossible since it would mean to make nothing out of what God  created. The ego despises weakness, even though it makes every effort
Tx:8.98  want, you are asking for what cannot be given, because it was never  created. It was never created, because it was never your will for you.
Tx:8.98  for what cannot be given, because it was never created. It was never  created, because it was never your will for you.
Tx:8.102  cannot change laws you did not make, and the laws of happiness were  created for you, not by you.
Tx:8.103  How real can this devotion be? If you do not want it, it was never  created. If it was never created, it is nothing. Can you really
Tx:8.103  be? If you do not want it, it was never created. If it was never  created, it is nothing. Can you really devote yourself to nothing?
Tx:8.104 God in His devotion to you  created you devoted to everything and gave you what you are devoted
Tx:8.104  gave you what you are devoted to. Otherwise, you would not have been  created perfect. Reality is everything, and therefore you have
Tx:8.104  because the absence of reality is fearful, and fear cannot be  created. As long as you believe that fear is possible, you will not
Tx:8.112  It must be for your brother because it is for you. Would God have  created a Voice for you alone? Could you hear His answer except as He
Tx:9.7  know of arrogance. The Holy Spirit forgives everything, because God  created everything.
Tx:9.11  the ability to share, He translates what you have made into what God  created. If you would accomplish this through Him, you cannot look on
Tx:9.17  This is the Second Coming, which was made for you as the First was  created. The Second Coming is merely the return of sense. Can this
Tx:9.33  part of you, everything we do belongs to you as well. Every Soul God  created is part of you and shares His glory with you. His Glory
Tx:9.34 God is more than you only because He  created you, but not even this would He keep from you. Therefore you
Tx:9.35  value. They will become the witnesses to your reality, as you were  created witnesses to God's. Yet when the Sonship comes together and
Tx:9.37  nothing else, for in him you will find your creations, because he  created them with you. You will never know that you are co-creator
Tx:9.52  it because it is a form of attack, but your grandeur is of God, Who  created it out of His Love. From your grandeur you can only bless,
Tx:9.55  pride, because pride is not shared. God wants you to behold what He  created, because it is His joy.
Tx:9.56  because it is used to replace your grandeur. Yet what God has  created cannot be replaced. God is incomplete without you, because
Tx:9.57  Mind and therefore not in yours alone. To accept yourself as God  created you cannot be arrogance, because it is the denial of
Tx:9.60 God  created nothing beside you, and nothing beside you exists, for you
Tx:9.60  how can the ephemeral be real if you are God's only creation, and He  created you eternal? Your holy will establishes everything that
Tx:9.61  He knows can be known because He does not know only for Himself. He  created you for Himself, but He gave you the power to create for your
Tx:9.64  them as long as your minds are split, and to attack what you have  created is impossible. But remember that it is as impossible for God.
Tx:9.64  as yourself because they are part of you. Everything that was  created is therefore perfectly safe, because the laws of God protect
Tx:9.77  a Son of God is sick is to worship the same idol he does. God  created love, not idolatry. All forms of idolatry are caricatures of
Tx:9.79  Kingdom, but there is great appreciation for every Soul which God  created because of the calm knowledge that each one is part of Him.
Tx:9.85  be reconciled. Sickness and perfection are irreconcilable. If God  created you perfect, you are perfect. If you believe you can be sick,
Tx:9.88  and therefore chaotic. Yet God Himself has protected everything He  created by His laws. Therefore, everything that is not under them
Tx:9.89  ever operated, and nothing except His Will will ever be. You were  created through His laws and by His Will, and the manner of your
Tx:9.90  and your reality affect truth at all. Peace is yours because God  created you. And He created nothing else.
Tx:9.90  affect truth at all. Peace is yours because God created you. And He  created nothing else.
Tx:9.96  not accept the fact that, although he was a creator, he had been  created. Yet the Son is helpless without the Father, Who alone is his
Tx:9.97  creators who are unlike your Creator any more than He could have  created a Son who was unlike Him. If creation is sharing, it cannot
Tx:9.97  what it is. Depression is isolation, and so it could not have been  created.
Tx:9.99  learn of Him if you hear aright. The love of God is in everything He  created, for His Son is everywhere. Look with peace upon your
Tx:9.101 If you will accept yourself as God  created you, you will be incapable of suffering. Yet to do this, you
Tx:9.101  Father is the acknowledgment of yourself as you are. Your Father  created you wholly without sin, wholly without pain, and wholly
Tx:9.103  removed himself from His gift by refusing to accept what had been  created for him and what he himself had created in the Name of his
Tx:9.103  to accept what had been created for him and what he himself had  created in the Name of his Father. Heaven waits for his return, for
Tx:9.103  in the Name of his Father. Heaven waits for his return, for it was  created as the dwelling place of God's Son. You are not at home
Tx:9.103  or in any other condition. Do not deny yourself the joy which was  created for you for the misery you have made for yourselves. God has
Tx:9.104  blasphemy may take are refusals to accept creation as it is. If God  created His Son perfect, that is how you must learn to see him to
Tx:10.3 You have made by projection, but God has  created by extension. The cornerstone of God's creation is you, for
Tx:10.8  simply by recognizing that neither beginnings nor endings were  created by the Eternal, Who placed no limits on His creation nor upon
Tx:10.8  You do not know this simply because you have tried to limit what He  created, and so you believe that all creation is limited. How, then,
Tx:10.9  and He is not childless. Because He did not will to be alone, He  created a Son like Himself. Do not deny Him His Son, for your
Tx:10.9  has denied you yours. See His creations as His Son, for yours were  created in honor of Him. The universe of love does not stop because
Tx:10.13  time you cannot live apart from Him, for sleep is not death. What He  created can sleep, but it cannot die. Immortality is His Will for His
Tx:10.26  for they are not fit companions for the Son of God, who was  created of light and in light. The Great Light always surrounds you
Tx:10.31  all your understanding is lost because you are looking on what God  created as yourself without love. And since what He created is part
Tx:10.31  on what God created as yourself without love. And since what He  created is part of Him, you are denying Him His place in His own
Tx:10.33  to you. Every altar to God is part of your Soul because the light He  created is one with Him. Would you cut off a brother from the light
Tx:10.57  truth. The witnesses for God stand in His light and behold what He  created. Their silence is the sign that they have beheld God's Son,
Tx:10.62  and ever shall be, for such is the nature of God's Son as His Father  created him.
Tx:10.63  the altar of his god, whether it be the god he made or the God who  created him. That is why his slavery is as complete as his freedom,
Tx:10.69 The world as you perceive it cannot have been  created by the Father, for the world is not as you see it. God
Tx:10.69  been created by the Father, for the world is not as you see it. God  created only the eternal, and everything you see is perishable.
Tx:10.72  do not know the difference between what you have made and what God  created, and so you do not know the difference between what you have
Tx:10.72  not know the difference between what you have made and what you have  created.
Tx:10.82  it can only free you. Nothing of God will enslave His Son, whom He  created free and whose freedom is protected by His Being.
Tx:10.84  thought is as loving as the Thought of His Father by which He was  created. Be not deceived in God's Son, for thereby you must be
Tx:11.22  Redeemer liveth and abideth in you in the peace out of which He was  created. Would you not exchange this awareness for the awareness of
Tx:11.71  me and all your brothers in the perfect safety of the mind which  created us. For we are there in the peace of the Father, Who wills to
Tx:11.72  see me as you look within, and we will look upon the world as God  created it together. Through the eyes of Christ, only the real world
Tx:11.78  not change, but you did. For a split mind and all its works were not  created by the Father and could not live in the knowledge of Him.
Tx:11.79  Holy Spirit sees. The definition of reality is God's, not yours. He  created it, and He knows what it is. You who knew have forgotten, and
Tx:11.93  untouched forever in God's Mind. God's Son will always be as he was  created. Deny your world and judge him not, for his eternal
Tx:11.94  of his Being, which is his perfect blamelessness. Out of love he was  created, and in love he abides. Goodness and mercy have always
Tx:12.47  and in His changelessness lies your release. For if He is as He was  created, there is no guilt in Him. No cloud of guilt has risen to
Tx:12.66  of God unto His Son. Your one reality was given you, and by it God  created you as one with Him.
Tx:13.6  of God. The only miracle that ever was is God's most holy Son,  created in the One Reality that is his Father. Christ's vision is His
Tx:13.9  the witnesses to] your fatherhood in Heaven. The miracle which God  created is perfect, as are the miracles which you created in His
Tx:13.9  miracle which God created is perfect, as are the miracles which you  created in His name. They need no healing, nor do you when you know
Tx:13.28  In shining peace within you is the perfect purity in which you were  created. Fear not to look upon the lovely truth in you. Look through
Tx:13.32  You, Father, for the purity of Your most holy Son, whom You have  created guiltless forever.
Tx:13.33  even unto the worth that God has placed upon you. I love all that He  created, and all my faith and my belief I offer unto it. My faith in
Tx:13.34  of praise unto your Father. See only praise of Him in what He has  created, for He will never cease His praise of you. United in this
Tx:13.46  released, and you will not remember anything you made that was not  created for you and by you in return. For how can you remember what
Tx:13.52  teach you not to deny it. Undoing is indirect, as doing is. You were  created only to create, neither to see nor do. These are but indirect
Tx:13.76  shake God's conviction of the perfect purity of everything that He  created, for it is wholly pure. Do not decide against it, for being
Tx:13.79 Seek not to appraise the worth of God's Son, whom He  created holy, for to do so is to evaluate his Father and judge
Tx:13.79  He could ever let His Son drop from His loving mind wherein he was  created and where his abode was fixed in perfect peace forever.
Tx:13.87 You who belong to the First Cause,  created by Him like unto Himself and part of Him, are more than
Tx:13.90 Decide that God is right and you are wrong about yourself. He  created you out of Himself but still within Him. He knows what you
Tx:14.7 Blessed Son of a wholly blessing Father, joy was  created for you. Who can condemn whom God has blessed? There is
Tx:14.7  the teachers of the innocence that is the right of all that God  created. Deny them not what is their due, for you will not withhold
Tx:14.12  no one is excluded. Within its holy circle is everyone whom God  created as His Son. Joy is its unifying attribute, with no one left
Tx:14.13  purpose to which my teaching calls you. Restore to God His Son as He  created him by teaching him his innocence.
Tx:14.26  about themselves. They have defined themselves as they were not  created. Their creation was not a point of view, but rather a
Tx:14.36  the knowledge given you by God into unknowingness. Everything God  created knows its Creator. For this is how creation is accomplished
Tx:14.38 The Atonement does not make holy. You were  created holy. It merely brings unholiness to holiness, or what you
Tx:14.41  they abide in Life. [Life is as holy as the Holiness by Which it was  created.] The Presence of Holiness lives in everything that lives,
Tx:14.41  Presence of Holiness lives in everything that lives, for Holiness  created life and leaves not what It created holy as Itself.
Tx:14.41  that lives, for Holiness created life and leaves not what It  created holy as Itself.
Tx:14.71  Teach like Him here, and you will remember that you have always  created like your Father. The miracle of creation has never ceased,
Tx:15.16  is so far beyond time that all of it happens at once. For as it was  created one, so its oneness depends not on time at all.
Tx:15.55 Think you that you can judge the Self of God? God has  created it beyond judgment out of His need to extend His Love. With
Tx:15.78  awareness. And here it is that you experience yourself as you were  created and as you are.
Tx:15.82  not from you, He withheld not His creation. Nothing that ever was  created but is yours. Your relationships are with the universe. And
Tx:15.84  is only of God teach you the only meaning of relationships. For God  created the only relationship which has meaning, and that is His
Tx:15.109  Those who receive the Father are one with Him, being host to Him Who  created them. And by allowing Him to enter, the remembrance of the
Tx:16.25  teaching has already done this, for the Holy Spirit is part of you.  Created by God, He left neither God nor His creation. He is both God
Tx:16.28  holy Self, all praise is due for what you are and for what He is Who  created you as you are. Sooner or later must everyone bridge the gap
Tx:16.37  look on all your brothers with gratitude because your creations were  created in union with them. Acceptance of your creations is the
Tx:16.41  the bridge to Him, made from your willingness to unite with Him and  created by His joy in union with you. The journey that seemed to be
Tx:16.59  relationships that are unlike this one must be unnatural. For God  created love as He would have it be and gave it as it is. Love has no
Tx:16.77  is His reminder that His Son will always be exactly as he was  created. And everything the Holy Spirit teaches you is to remind you
Tx:16.81  what you have given and accept but this into the minds which You  created and which You love. Amen.
Tx:17.7  Spirit loves to look upon and which He thanks the Father for. He was  created to see this for you until you learn to see it for yourself.
Tx:17.26  me bring reality to your perception of your brothers. They were not  created to enable you to hurt yourselves through them. They were
Tx:17.26  not created to enable you to hurt yourselves through them. They were  created to create with you. This is the truth that I would interpose
Tx:17.27  you relate to your creations as God to His. For nothing God  created is apart from happiness, and nothing God created but would
Tx:17.27  For nothing God created is apart from happiness, and nothing God  created but would extend happiness as its Creator did. Whatever
Tx:17.29  separation. For although the ego did not understand what had been  created, it was aware of threat.
Tx:18.11  to you. [And God Himself is glad that your relationship is as it was  created.] The universe within you stands with you, together. And
Tx:18.37  to God am worthy of Him. He Who established His dwelling-place in me  created it as He would have it be. It is not needful that I make it
Tx:18.49  realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is restored to you. For God  created only this, and He did not depart from it nor leave it
Tx:18.53  what cannot destroy can have no real effect at all. And what God  created is only what He would have it be, being His Will. You cannot
Tx:18.75  living alone and in no way joined to the Thought by which it was  created. Each tiny fragment seems to be self-contained, needing each
Tx:18.76  separate life because its life is the oneness in which its being was  created.
Tx:18.78 Love knows no bodies and reaches to everything  created like itself. Its total lack of limit is its meaning. It is
Tx:19.16  For what you think you do to the eternal you do to you. Whom God  created as His Son is slave to nothing, being lord of all along with
Tx:19.18  thus succeeded in losing his innocence and making himself what God  created not. Thus is creation seen as not eternal, and the Will of
Tx:19.20  doctrine which replaces the reality of the Son of God as his Father  created him and willed that he be forever. Is this humility? Or is
Tx:19.31  good and evil—partly sane and partially insane. For He must have  created what wills to destroy Him and has the power to do so. Is it
Tx:19.32  seem to be split apart and overthrown. For sin would prove what God  created holy could not prevail against it nor remain itself before
Tx:19.80  and set against the peace of Heaven? One thing is sure—God, Who  created neither sin nor death, wills not that you be bound by them.
Tx:19.85  powerless before the ego's might, unable to protect the life that He  created against the ego's savage wish to kill. My brothers, children
Tx:19.103  to you? For his redemption, he will give you yours as surely as God  created every living thing and loves it. And he will give it truly,
Tx:19.108  offer to the Son of God in thanks for what he is and what his Father  created him to be.
Tx:20.27  Each of you now will lead the other to the Father as surely as God  created His Son holy and kept him so. In your brother is the light of
Tx:20.29  have established other laws and given them power to enforce what God  created not.
Tx:20.45  self-centered, broken into fragments, and full of fear. The one  created by his Father is wholly self-encompassing and self-extending.
Tx:21.17  No accident nor chance is possible within the universe as God  created it, outside of which is nothing. Suffer, and you decided sin
Tx:21.26  that you did not create yourself. They are the same mistake. Nothing  created not by your Creator has any influence over you. And if you
Tx:21.28 Yet the truth is you were both  created by a loving Father Who created you together and as one. See
Tx:21.28 Yet the truth is you were both created by a loving Father Who  created you together and as one. See what “proves” otherwise, and you
Tx:21.28  delusion that you are independent of the Source by which you were  created and have never left.
Tx:22.28  to remain in misery? Heaven is the home of perfect purity, and God  created it for you. Look on your holy brother, sinless as yourself,
Tx:22.48  Which is the stronger? Is it this tiny mouse or everything that God  created? You are not joined together by this mouse but by the Will of
Tx:23.13 What you remember is a part of you. For you must be as God  created you. Truth does not fight against illusions, nor do illusions
Tx:23.14  each other. And this occurs whenever you look on anything that God  created with anything but love. Conflict is fearful, for it is the
Tx:23.37 There is no life outside of Heaven. Where God  created life, there life must be. In any state apart from Heaven,
Tx:23.53  not perceived. The body stands between the Father and the Heaven He  created for His Son because it has no purpose.
Tx:24.6 What God  created cannot be attacked, for there is nothing in the universe
Tx:24.8  will not hurt you? Your brother is your friend because his Father  created him like you. There is no difference. You have been given to
Tx:24.14  and Him of Whom they are a part. Nor do they love the Oneness Which  created them as one with Him. They chose their specialness instead of
Tx:24.25  an illusion of what you are to the acceptance of yourself as God  created you.
Tx:24.27  you separate from Him as its defender. You would protect what God  created not. And yet this idol that seems to give you power has taken
Tx:24.49  For in him, his Father waits for your acknowledgment that He  created you as part of Him.
Tx:24.51 Nothing is lost to you in all the universe. Nothing that God  created has He failed to lay before you lovingly as yours forever.
Tx:24.51  in eternity where He abides and you with Him. Your brother is as He  created him. And it is this that saves you from a world that He

Tx:31.92 You are as God  created you, and so is every living thing you look upon, regardless
W1:14.1  create does not exist. And everything that does exist exists as He  created it. The world you see has nothing to do with reality. It is
W1:38.2  in its power to save anyone. If you are holy, so is everything God  created. You are holy because all things He created are holy. And all
W1:38.2  so is everything God created. You are holy because all things He  created are holy. And all things He created are holy because you are.

W1:55.2  but signs of disease, disaster, and death. This cannot be what God  created for His beloved Son. The very fact that I see such things is
W1:57.3  I no longer want. The Son of God must be forever free. He is as God  created him, and not what I would make of him. He is where God would

W1:67.6  awareness of a blazing light in which you recognize yourself as Love  created you. Be confident that you will do much today to bring that
W1:67.7  even more, it would be most beneficial to remind yourself that Love  created you like Itself. Hear the truth about yourself in this.
W1:67.8  about yourself with the simple truth about the Son of God. You were  created by Love like Itself.
W1:68.1 You who were  created by Love like Itself can hold no grievances and know your
W1:68.3  grievances? Oh, yes! For he who holds grievances denies he was  created by Love, and his Creator has become fearful to him in his
W1:68.4  will redefine God in their own image as it is certain that God  created them like Himself and defined them as part of Him. It is as
W1:72.15  that you are asking them of the infinite Creator of infinity, Who  created you like Himself:
W1:73.3  grievances increase with each exchange. Can such a world have been  created by the will the Son of God shares with his Father? Did God
W1:76.11  the endless joy He offers you. About His yearning for His only Son,  created as His channel for creation, denied to Him by his belief in
W1:84.2 [67] Love  created me like Itself. I am in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot

W1:93.4  your “sins” are nothing, that you are as pure and holy as you were  created, and that light and joy and peace abide in you? Your image of
W1:93.6  is guaranteed by God. Nothing can touch it nor can change what God  created as eternal. The self you made, evil and full of sin, is
W1:93.7 Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought—you are as God  created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may
W1:93.7  of yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God  created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is
W1:93.7  guaranteed by God. You are and will forever be exactly as you were  created. Light and joy and peace abide in you because God put them
W1:93.11 You are what God  created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there.
W1:93.11  Self. Try to appreciate its holiness and the love from which it was  created. Try not to interfere with the Self which God created as you
W1:93.11  which it was created. Try not to interfere with the Self which God  created as you by hiding its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil
W1:94.1  which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. You are as God  created you. The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this
W1:94.2  light is strength, and strength is sinlessness. If you remain as God  created you, you must be strong and light must be in you. He Who
W1:94.2  must be the guarantee of strength and light as well. You are as God  created you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory of the Son of God. You
W1:94.2  God. You stand in light, strong in the sinlessness in which you were  created and in which you will remain throughout eternity.
W1:94.4 I am as God  created me. I am His Son eternally.
W1:94.8 I am as God  created me. I am His Son eternally.
W1:94.9 Tell yourself frequently today that you are as God  created you. And be sure to respond to anyone who seems to irritate
W1:94.10 You are as God  created you. You are His Son eternally.
W1:95.1 Today's idea accurately describes you as God  created you. You are one within yourself and one with Him. Yours is
W1:96.15  it will again flow out from Spirit to the Spirit in all things  created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind will bless all things.
W1:99.6  saves and which forgives, because it lays no faith in what is not  created by the only Source it knows. This is the thought whose
W1:102.7  You have no need to be less loving to God's Son than He Whose Love  created him as loving as Himself. Besides these hourly five minute
W1:107.10  go with Him. You are not made of flesh and blood and bone but were  created by the self-same thought which gave the gift of life to Him
W1:110.1  which have reality, nor changed the universe so that what God  created was replaced by fear and evil, misery and death.
W1:110.2 If you remain as God  created you, fear has no meaning, evil is not real, and misery and
W1:110.3 If you remain as God  created you, appearances cannot replace the truth, health cannot turn
W1:110.3  or fear for love. All this has not occurred if you remain as God  created you. You need no thought but just this one to let redemption
W1:110.4  saved to quietly extend into a timeless future. If you are as God  created you, then there has been no separation of your mind from His,
W1:110.7 I am as God  created me. His Son can suffer nothing. And I am His Son.
W1:110.9 You are as God  created you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be
W1:110.12 I am as God  created me.
W1:112.3 [94] I am as God  created me. I will remain forever as I was, Created by the Changeless
W1:112.3 [94] I am as God created me. I will remain forever as I was,  Created by the Changeless like Himself. And I am one with Him, and He
W1:112.7 I am as God  created me.
W1:114.2  God. No body can contain my spirit nor impose on me a limitation God  created not.
W1:114.3  What can my function be but to accept the Word of God, Who has  created me, for what I am and will forever be?
W1:120.3 [110] I am as God  created me. I am God's Son. Today I lay aside all sick illusions of
W1:120.7 I am as God  created me.
W1:124.3  a while. And God, Who loves us with the equal love in which we were  created, smiles on us and offers us the happiness we gave. Today we
W1:124.5  are restored to the tranquility and peace of mind in which they were  created. And we see it in the dying and the dead as well, restoring
W1:125.4  within the mind where He abides forever in the holiness which He  created and will never leave.
W1:131.6  want it. You will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God  created you in sinlessness.
W1:132.10  for it contains the firm foundation for today's idea. You are as God  created you. There is no place where you can suffer and no time that
W1:132.10  state. How can a world of time and place exist if you remain as God  created you?
W1:132.12 Yet if you are as God  created you, you cannot think apart from Him nor make what does not
W1:132.12  the world in every way. And as it was His thought by which you were  created, so it is your thoughts which made it and must set it free
W1:132.15  the home our Father set for us along with them. And we who are as He  created us would loose the world this day from every one of our
W1:132.17 I who remain as God  created me would loose the world from all I thought it was. For I am
W1:136.12  you die or suffer sickness or distort the truth in any way. What is  created is apart from all of this. Defenses are plans to defeat what
W1:136.14  against the truth. Yet what God wills is here, and you remain as He  created you.
W1:139.1  of choice. For here we come to a decision to accept ourselves as God  created us. And what is choice except uncertainty of what we are?
W1:139.11 I will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God  created me.
W1:139.12 We have not lost the knowledge that God gave to us when He  created us like Him. We can remember it for everyone, for in creation
W1:139.14 I will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God  created me.
W1:151.9  bears witness to your beautiful creation and the Mind Whose thought  created your reality. What can the body mean to Him Who knows the
W1:152.5 As God  created you, you must remain unchangeable with transitory states by
W1:152.7  see at once these things are not of Him. And can you see what God  created not? To think you can is merely to believe you can perceive
W1:152.10  are. And we lift our hearts in true humility instead to Him Who has  created us immaculate, like to Himself in power and in love. The
W1:152.13  is my own. This day I will accept myself as what my Father's Will  created me to be.
W1:153.9  dreams today and recognize that we need no defense because we are  created unassailable, without all thought or wish or dream in which
W1:154.4  salvation from all sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that God  created sinless. Now this mind becomes aware again of Who created it
W1:154.4  that God created sinless. Now this mind becomes aware again of Who  created it and of His lasting union with itself. So is its Self the
W1:156.9  I light the world, I light my mind and all the minds which God  created one with me.
W1:158.1  and purely mind, sinless forever, wholly unafraid because you were  created out of Love. Nor have you left your Source, remaining as you
W1:158.1  out of Love. Nor have you left your Source, remaining as you were  created. This was given you as knowledge which you cannot lose. It
W1:158.7  It does not look upon a body and mistake it for the Son whom God  created. It beholds a light beyond the body, an idea beyond what can
W1:159.3  pictures Heaven, for it sees a world so like to Heaven that what God  created perfect can be mirrored there. The darkened glass the world
W1:160.4  to the home which God provided for His Son? Is fear His own,  created in His likeness? Is it fear that love completes and is
W1:161.9  eyes behold in one whom Heaven cherishes, the angels love, and God  created perfect. This is his reality. And in Christ's vision is his
W1:162.6  eager to unite with one like him in holiness? You are as God  created you. These words dispel the night, and darkness is no more.
W1:165.2 The Thought of God  created you. It left you not, nor have you ever been apart from It an
W1:167.1  does not have degrees. It is the one condition in which all that God  created share. Like all His thoughts, it has no opposite. There is no
W1:167.1  His thoughts, it has no opposite. There is no death because what God  created shares His Life. There is no death because an opposite to God
W1:167.7  be another form of life. As such, it can be reconciled with what  created it because it is not opposite in truth. Its form may change;
W1:167.7  mind is mind, awake or sleeping. It is not its opposite in anything  created nor in what it seems to make when it believes it sleeps.
W1:167.11  with Him, with all creation, with their thoughts as well, whom He  created in a unity of life that cannot separate in death and leave
W1:167.12  perfection comes to us, remaining always in the holy minds which He  created perfect. As we were, so are we now and will forever be. A
W1:176.3 [162] I am as God  created me. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:185.12 For you it was  created, given you by its Creator and established as His own eternal
W1:185.14  that hate has sought to sever, but which still remains as God  created it. With help like this beside us, can we fail today as we
W1:189.10  we think apart from You and cherish no beliefs of what we are or who  created us. Yours is the way that we would find and follow. And we
W1:190.2  abandonment by an eternal Love which could not leave the Son whom It  created out of love.
W1:191.4  a game you play in which identity can be denied? You are as God  created you. All else but this one thing is folly to believe. In this
W1:192.1  that your Self shall be His sacred Son, forever pure as He, of love  created and in love preserved, extending love, creating in its name,
W1:192.3  to earth. For being Heaven-borne, it has no form at all. Yet God  created One Who has the power to translate into form the wholly
W1:192.10  him, that you may accept him back as your Identity. He is as God  created him. And you are what he is. Forgive him now his sins, and
W1:193.3  Love be given form in which it could be offered to the world. And He  created One Who could perceive what form this law should take, to be
W1:193.4 The One Whom God  created to replace the foolish thoughts which crept into the mind of
W1:197.7  secure because Their will is one. Their gratitude to all They have  created has no end, for gratitude remains a part of love.
W1:197.8 Thanks be to you, the holy Son of God, for as you were  created you contain all things within your Self. And you are still as
W1:197.8  you contain all things within your Self. And you are still as God  created you. Nor can you dim the light of your perfection. In your
W1:200.7  to find in such a world? It cannot have reality because it never was  created. Is it here that he would seek for peace? Or must he see
W1:R6.4 I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.
W1:200.1  one with me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.

W1:209.1 [189] I feel the Love of God within me now. The Love of God is what  created me. The Love of God is everything I am. The Love of God
W1:209.1  me sets me free. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.
W1:210.1  of what I made. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.
W1:211.1  in true humility, I seek God's glory to behold it in the Son whom He  created as my Self. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God
W1:211.1  as my Self. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.
W1:212.1  I accept as mine. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.
W1:213.1  and forget my own. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.

W1:215.1  me the way to go. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.
W1:216.1  will be given me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.
W1:217.1  my thanks are due? I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.
W1:218.1  glory and be glad. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.

W1:220.1  the Love of God. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God  created me.
W2:I.7  with You in asking this. The Father and the Son, Whose holy will  created all that is, can fail in nothing. In this certainty, we
W2:I.9 We had a wish that God would fail to have the Son whom He  created for Himself. We wanted God to change Himself and be what we
W2:229.1 I seek my own Identity and find it in these words: “Love, Which  created me, is what I am.” Now need I seek no more. Love has
W2:230.1 In peace I was  created. And in peace do I remain. It is not given me to change my
W2:230.1  me to change my Self. How merciful is God my Father, that when He  created me He gave me peace forever. Now I ask but to be what I am.
W2:230.2  Son was born into Your Mind is shining there unchanged. I am as You  created me. I need but call on You to find the peace You gave. It is
W2:235.2 Father, Your holiness is mine. Your Love  created me and made my sinlessness forever part of You. I have no
W2:238.1 Father, Your trust in me has been so great I must be worthy. You  created me and know me as I am. And yet You placed Your Son's
W2:238.2  pause to think how much our Father loves us. And how dear His Son,  created by His Love, remains to Him Whose Love is made complete in
W2:239.1  His Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He  created him?
W2:243.1  Thus do I free myself and what I look upon, to be in peace as God  created us.
W2:247.2  I look on everyone today. My brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood  created them and gave them all to me as part of You and my own Self
W2:248.1  about the holy Son of God. Now am I ready to accept him back as God  created him, and as he is.
W2:248.2  returns and lets me love Your Son again as well. Father, I am as You  created me. Now is Your Love remembered and my own. Now do I
W2:249.2  of violence and death. Now would we rest again in You, as You  created us.
W2:253.1  Will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides with them and Him Who has  created me.
W2:253.2 You are the Self Whom You  created Son, creating like Yourself and one with You. My Self, Which
W2:256.1  asleep in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him whom God  created sinless? Here we can but dream. But we can dream we have
W2:260.1  as Your thought, I have not left my Source, remaining part of What  created me. Your Son, my Father, calls on You today. Let me remember
W2:260.1  me. Your Son, my Father, calls on You today. Let me remember You  created me. Let me remember my Identity. And let my sinlessness arise
W2:261.2  I would come, my Father, home to You today. I choose to be as You  created me and find the Son whom You created as my Self.
W2:261.2  today. I choose to be as You created me and find the Son whom You  created as my Self.
W2:262.1  when only one suffices? For Your Son must bear Your Name, for You  created him. Let me not see him as a stranger to his Father, nor as
W2:263.1 Father, Your Mind  created all that is; Your Spirit entered into it; Your Love gave life
W2:263.1  into it; Your Love gave life to it. And would I look upon what You  created as if it could be made sinful? I would not perceive such dark
W2:267.1 Surrounding me is all the life that God  created in His Love. It calls to me in every heartbeat and in every
W2:267.2  my own. Father, my heart is beating in the peace the Heart of Love  created. It is there and only there that I can be at home.
W2:268.1  to withdraw my wishes from its unity and thus to let it be as You  created it. For thus will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You
W2:268.1  it. For thus will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You  created me. In Love was I created, and in Love will I remain forever.
W2:268.1  be able, too, to recognize my Self as You created me. In Love was I  created, and in Love will I remain forever. What can frighten me when
W2:270.2  we offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son whom God  created whole, the holy Son whom God created one.
W2:270.2  Him, the holy Son whom God created whole, the holy Son whom God  created one.
W2:WIC.1 Christ is God's Son as He  created Him. He is the Self we share, uniting us with one another and
W2:WIC.1  He has not left His holy home nor lost the innocence in which He was  created. He abides unchanged forever in the Mind of God.
W2:WIC.5  or of time, or anything except the holy Self, the Christ Whom God  created as His Son.
W2:272.1  still, forever gentle, and forever safe. God's Son must be as You  created him.
W2:274.1 Father, today I would let all things be as You  created them and give Your Son the honor due his sinlessness, the
W2:274.1  light will replace all darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You  created him.
W2:276.1  thus did God become the Father of the Son He loves, for thus was he  created. This the Word His Son did not create with Him because in
W2:276.1  Let us accept His Fatherhood, and all is given us. Deny we were  created in His Love, and we deny our Self, to be unsure of who we
W2:277.1  is changeable. He is not slave to any laws of time. He is as You  created him, because he knows no laws except the Law of Love.
W2:279.2  today and give my faith to them. My Father loves the Son Whom He  created as His own. Would You withhold the gifts You gave to me?
W2:280.1 Whom God  created limitless is free. I can invent imprisonment for him, but
W2:280.2  the way to You. Father, I lay no limits on the Son You love and You  created limitless. The honor that I give to him is Yours, and what is
W2:281.1  way, it is because he has forgotten who he is, and that he is as You  created him. Your Thoughts can only bring me happiness. If ever I am
W2:282.1  insane and to accept myself as God Himself, my Father and my Source,  created me. This the determination not to be asleep in dreams of
W2:282.1  the joy of life. And this the choice to recognize the Self Whom God  created as the Son He loves and Who remains my one Reality.
W2:283.1  light of Heaven infinite? Is not Your Son my true Identity, when You  created everything that is?
W2:283.2  Identity, with God our Father as our only Source and everything  created part of us. And so we offer blessing to all things, uniting
W2:285.2  through forgiveness be restored to sanity. Your Son is still as You  created him. My holiness is part of me and also part of You. And what
W2:287.2  for the truth? You are my only goal. Your Son would be as You  created him. What way but this could I expect to recognize my Self
W2:288.1  my brother. And to know my Source, I first must recognize what You  created one with me. My brother's is the hand that leads me on the
W2:294.2 My body, Father, cannot be Your Son. And what is not  created cannot be sinful or sinless, neither good nor bad. Let me,
W2:299.1  beyond my own ability to understand or know. Yet God my Father, Who  created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our will together
W2:299.2  and untouched. In it are all things healed, for they remain as You  created them. And I can know my holiness. For Holiness Itself created
W2:299.2  as You created them. And I can know my holiness. For Holiness Itself  created me, and I can know my Source because it is Your will that You
W2:302.1  can see. We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom You  created. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining and light is
W2:303.2  truth. He is the Son You love above all things. He is my Self as You  created me. It is not Christ that can be crucified. Safe in Your
W2:304.2  Son that he may find again the memory of You and of Your Son as You  created him.
W2:307.1  in will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You  created me.
W2:309.1  Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to find my will as God  created it and as it is. I fear to look within because I think I made
W2:311.2  and we cannot judge. And so we let Your Love decide what he whom You  created as Your Son must be.
W2:318.1  purpose is to find the sinlessness which God has placed in me. I was  created as the thing I seek. I am the goal the world is searching
W2:WICR.1  creates and only like Itself. There was no time when all that It  created was not there. Nor will there be a time when anything that It
W2:WICR.1  was not there. Nor will there be a time when anything that It  created suffers any change. Forever and forever are God's thoughts
W2:WICR.4  done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God  created us.
W2:322.2  inconceivable. And so I cannot sacrifice except in dreams. As You  created me, I can give up nothing You gave me. What You did not give
W2:326.1 Father, I was  created in Your Mind, a holy thought that never left its home. I am
W2:326.1  Your Effect, and You forever and forever are my Cause. As You  created me, I have remained. Where You established me, I still abide,
W2:330.1  joy, as is the Will of God united with its own. The Self which God  created cannot sin and therefore cannot suffer. Let us choose today
W2:WIE.5  And peace will be restored forever to the holy minds which God  created as His Son, His dwelling-place, His joy, His love, completely
W2:335.2  to see my brother's sinlessness? His holiness reminds me that he was  created one with me and like myself. In him I find my Self, and in
W2:337.1  do nothing of myself, for I need but accept my Self, my sinlessness,  created for me, now already mine, to feel God's Love protecting me
W2:337.2 You who  created me in sinlessness are not mistaken about what I am. I was
W2:343.1  can but be gain. You only give. You never take away. And You  created me to be like You, so sacrifice becomes impossible for me as
W2:343.1  and so all things are given unto me forever and forever. As I was  created, I remain. Your Son can make no sacrifice, for he must be
W2:346.1  laws except Your law of Love. And I would find the peace which You  created for Your Son, forgetting all the foolish toys I made as I
W2:348.1  me? Surrounding me is perfect sinlessness. What can I fear when You  created me in holiness as perfect as Your own?
W2:350.1  The Son of God incorporates all things within himself as You  created him. Your memory depends on his forgiveness. What he is, is
W2:354.1  with You as well as Him. For who is Christ except Your Son as You  created Him? And what am I except the Christ in me?
W2:359.1  But we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God. What You  created sinless so abides forever and forever. Such are we. And we
W2:360.1  would give, receiving it of You. I am Your Son, forever just as You  created me, for the Great Rays remain forever still and undisturbed
W2:360.1  Peace be to me and peace to all the world. In holiness were we  created, and in holiness do we remain. Your Son is like to You in

Tx:2.20  and the Souls He created are completely dependent on each other. The  creation of the Soul has already been perfectly accomplished, but the
Tx:2.20  of the Soul has already been perfectly accomplished, but the  creation by Souls has not. God created Souls so He could depend on
Tx:2.40  closer accord with the Sonship, but the Sonship itself is a perfect  creation, and perfection is not a matter of degree. Only while there
Tx:2.47  is not true. Everything is limited in some way by the manner of its  creation. Free will can temporize and is capable of enormous

Tx:3.79 Your  creation by God is the only foundation which cannot be shaken because

Tx:7.95  them. The creations of every Son of God are yours since every  creation belongs to everyone, being created for the Sonship as a
Tx:7.113  like the Father. Know then the Sons of God, and you will know all  creation.
Tx:8.18  their unity together by extending their joint will. This is perfect  creation by the perfectly created in union with Perfect Creator. The
Tx:8.34  being an acknowledgment of what they are and what He is. Freedom is  creation, because it is love. What you seek to imprison you do not
Tx:8.37  the recognition of yourself. There is no separation of God and His  creation. You will learn this as you learn that there is no
Tx:8.45  are your gift to the Holy Trinity, created in gratitude for your  creation. They do not leave you, any more than you have left your
Tx:8.45  you, any more than you have left your Creator, but they extend your  creation as God extended Himself to you. Can the creations of God
Tx:8.45  creations love you as your Soul loves your Father for the gift of  creation. There is no other gift which is eternal, and therefore
Tx:8.47  yours. His Will to you is His Will for you. He would not withhold  creation from you, because His joy is in it. You cannot find joy
Tx:8.47  it, and no one can know his function unless he knows who he is.  Creation is the Will of God. His Will created you to create. Your
Tx:8.68  arrest your thought in this world, and you will open your mind to  creation in God.
Tx:8.94  in alien tongues. You and your Creator can communicate through  creation because that, and only that, is your joint will.
Tx:8.101 The energy which you withdraw from  creation you expend on fear. This is not because your energy is
Tx:8.101  in order to be happy is totally at variance with the principle of  creation. God could not will that happiness depended on what you
Tx:9.34  you do not see. Because the Sonship must create as one, you remember  creation whenever you recognize part of creation. Each part you
Tx:9.34  create as one, you remember creation whenever you recognize part of  creation. Each part you remember adds to your wholeness, because each
Tx:9.60  ephemeral, and how can the ephemeral be real if you are God's only  creation, and He created you eternal? Your holy will establishes
Tx:9.64  But remember that it is as impossible for God. The law of  creation is that you love your creations as yourself because they are
Tx:9.69  lack of fear. In this decision lie joy and peace and the glory of  creation. Offer the Holy Spirit only your will to remember, for He
Tx:9.77  created love, not idolatry. All forms of idolatry are caricatures of  creation, taught by sick minds which are too divided to know that
Tx:9.77  of creation, taught by sick minds which are too divided to know that  creation shares power and never usurps it. Sickness is idolatry,
Tx:9.88  them does not exist. “Laws of chaos” are meaningless by definition.  Creation is perfectly lawful, and the chaotic is without meaning
Tx:9.89  created through His laws and by His Will, and the manner of your  creation established you as creators. What you have made is so
Tx:9.92  as pure as the great light, because it is the remaining call of  creation. Put all your faith in it, and God Himself will answer you.
Tx:9.97  any more than He could have created a Son who was unlike Him. If  creation is sharing, it cannot create what is unlike itself. It can
Tx:9.100  for it means that you are looking without love on God and His  creation, from which He cannot be separated. Only the eternal can be
Tx:9.102  will never cease to love Him. That was the condition of His Son's  creation, fixed forever in the Mind of God. To know that is sanity.
Tx:9.102  is sanity. To deny it is insanity. God gave Himself to you in your  creation, and His gifts are eternal. Would you deny yourself to Him?
Tx:9.104  the many other forms which blasphemy may take are refusals to accept  creation as it is. If God created His Son perfect, that is how you
Tx:10.1  by your vacillations. Nothing alive is fatherless, for life is  creation. Therefore, your decision is always an answer to the
Tx:10.3  but God has created by extension. The cornerstone of God's  creation is you, for His thought system is light. Remember the rays
Tx:10.7  cannot be filled by anyone except you, and your filling it was your  creation, without you there would be an empty place in God's Mind.
Tx:10.8  nor endings were created by the Eternal, Who placed no limits on His  creation nor upon those who create like Him. You do not know this
Tx:10.8  you have tried to limit what He created, and so you believe that all  creation is limited. How, then, could you know your creations, having
Tx:10.9  eyes have not lost the ability to see. Look upon the glory of His  creation, and you will learn what God has kept for you.
Tx:10.13  for himself because His Father is Life and His Son is like Him.  Creation is your will because it is His.
Tx:10.21  gladly extend it. And by this extending, you will begin to remember  creation.
Tx:10.31  Sonship is your salvation, for the Sonship is your Soul. As God's  creation, it is yours, and belonging to you, it is His. Your Soul
Tx:10.45 Yours is the independence of  creation, not of autonomy. Your whole creative function lies in your
Tx:11.46  eternal because you wanted to retain the characteristics of  creation with your own content. Yet creation is not of you, and poor
Tx:11.46  to retain the characteristics of creation with your own content. Yet  creation is not of you, and poor learners need special teaching. You
Tx:11.64  work, for you share in His function. As your function in Heaven is  creation, so your function on earth is healing. God shares His
Tx:12.22  denied you only your request for pain, for suffering is not of His  creation. Having given you creation, He could not take it from you.
Tx:12.22  for pain, for suffering is not of His creation. Having given you  creation, He could not take it from you. He could but answer your
Tx:12.53  for you will remember Him as you call forth the witnesses to His  creation. Those whom you heal bear witness to your healing, for in
Tx:13.3  which seems to be in the future, was accomplished by God in your  creation. The separation has not interrupted it. Creation cannot be
Tx:13.3  by God in your creation. The separation has not interrupted it.  Creation cannot be interrupted. The separation is merely a faulty
Tx:13.5 This is the miracle of  creation; that it is one forever. Every miracle you offer to the Son
Tx:13.26  but knows of union. He teaches healing, but He also knows of  creation. He would have you see and teach as He does, and through
Tx:13.44  wake. The mission of redemption will be fulfilled as surely as the  creation will remain unchanged throughout eternity. You do not have
Tx:13.89  by failing to fulfill your function here? You need not understand  creation to do what must be done before that knowledge would be
Tx:14.7  in the Mind of God that does not share His shining innocence.  Creation is the natural extension of perfect purity. Your only
Tx:14.8  of the Kingdom is the right of God's Son, given him in his  creation. Do not try to steal it from him, or you will ask for guilt
Tx:14.10  purpose of release from guilt to the eternal glory of God and His  creation. And every teaching that points to this points straight to
Tx:14.11  holy lesson, which seeks but to restore what is the right of God's  creation. From everyone whom you accord release from guilt, you will
Tx:14.20  you. The power of decision, which you made in place of the power of  creation, He would teach you how to use on your behalf. You who made
Tx:14.26  They have defined themselves as they were not created. Their  creation was not a point of view, but rather a certainty. Uncertainty
Tx:14.36  Everything God created knows its Creator. For this is how  creation is accomplished by the Creator and by His creations. In the
Tx:14.36  joins them all together, holding them in the oneness out of which  creation happens.
Tx:14.37  like Him can never be dissolved. Heaven itself is union with all of  creation and with its One Creator. And Heaven remains the Will of God
Tx:14.46  creations, or between His Children and their own, the knowledge of  creation must continue forever. The reflections which you accept into
Tx:14.71  that you have always created like your Father. The miracle of  creation has never ceased, having the holy stamp of immortality upon
Tx:14.71  holy stamp of immortality upon it. This is the Will of God for all  creation, and all creation joins in willing this.
Tx:14.71  upon it. This is the Will of God for all creation, and all  creation joins in willing this.
Tx:14.74  and He knows that faith in His Creator must encompass faith in His  creation. In this consistency lies His holiness, which He cannot
Tx:15.15  For, caught in the single instant of the eternal sanctity of God's  creation, it is transformed into forever. Give the eternal instant
Tx:15.27 When God gave Himself to you in your  creation, He established you as host to Him forever. He has not left
Tx:15.64  for you will begin to understand what your Creator is and what His  creation is along with Him.
Tx:15.82  instant on this: God gave the Sonship to you to ensure your perfect  creation. This was His gift, for as He withheld Himself not from you,
Tx:15.82  gift, for as He withheld Himself not from you, He withheld not His  creation. Nothing that ever was created but is yours. Your
Tx:15.88  Heaven and hell, God and the ego, and release your power unto  creation, which is the only purpose for which it was given you. Love
Tx:15.108  is restored, and He joins us in the celebration of His Son's  creation.
Tx:16.25  Spirit is part of you. Created by God, He left neither God nor His  creation. He is both God and you, as you are God and Him together.
Tx:16.25  the Holy Spirit, and their power and gratitude to you for their  creation they offer gladly to your teaching of yourself, who is their
Tx:16.37  Acceptance of your creations is the acceptance of the oneness of  creation, without which you could never be complete. No specialness
Tx:16.42  answer fearlessly the call of Him Who gave eternity to you in your  creation. On this side of the bridge to timelessness you understand
Tx:17.29  In a sense the special relationship was the ego's answer to the  creation of the Holy Spirit, Who was God's answer to the separation.
Tx:17.41  gently, and God rises to your remembrance, offering you the whole of  creation in exchange for your little picture, wholly without value
Tx:18.9  no substitute can keep you from each other. Your reality was God's  creation and has no substitute.
Tx:18.11  upon you, blessing your relationship with truth. God and His whole  creation have entered it together. How lovely and how holy is your
Tx:19.18  his innocence and making himself what God created not. Thus is  creation seen as not eternal, and the Will of God open to opposition
Tx:19.20  be forever. Is this humility? Or is it, rather, an attempt to wrest  creation away from truth and keep it separate?
Tx:19.22  foundation seems to have is found in this. For sin has changed  creation from an idea of God to an ideal the ego wants; a world it
Tx:19.31  is real, remember this: If sin is real, both God and you are not. If  creation is extension, the Creator must have extended Himself, and it
Tx:19.32  the proof of separation seems to be everywhere. And God and His  creation seem to be split apart and overthrown. For sin would prove
Tx:19.32  mightier than God, before which God Himself must bow and offer His  creation to its conqueror. Is this humility or madness?
Tx:19.33  will apart from His and stronger. And each part of God's fragmented  creation would have a different will, opposed to His and in eternal
Tx:19.40  it abide within the Son of God? If it would spread across the whole  creation, it must begin with you and from you reach to everyone who
Tx:19.84  Here is the final end of union, the triumph of the ego's making over  creation, the victory of lifelessness on Life Itself.
Tx:21.23  there you cannot fail to see. The holy instant is not an instant of  creation but of recognition. For recognition comes of vision and
Tx:21.27  to create, and what he makes is meaningless. It changes nothing in  creation, depends entirely upon the madness of its maker, and cannot
Tx:21.27  Your brother thinks he made the world with you. Thus he denies  creation. With you, he thinks the world he made, made him. Thus he
Tx:21.87  change of any kind. It is unshakable as is the love of God for His  creation. Sure in its vision as its Creator is in what He knows, it
Tx:22.62  Creator. For only then would it be possible to attack a part of the  creation without the whole, the Son without the Father, and to attack
Tx:22.65  joins you, so it makes you one with your Creator. And in Him is all  creation joined. Would you regret you cannot fear alone when your
Tx:23.49  but it is insanity. What is the same can have no different function.  Creation is the means for God's extension, and what is His must be
Tx:23.50  another is not complete as yet, and so it cannot be extended to all  creation. Each form of murder and attack that still attracts you and
Tx:24.2  knows. And your decisions come from your beliefs as certainly as all  creation rose in His Mind because of what He knows.
Tx:24.5  This takes many forms but always clashes with the reality of God's  creation and with the grandeur which He gave His Son. What else could
Tx:24.49  knowable and will be known to you. For He could never leave His own  creation. And the sign that this is so lies in your brother, offered
Tx:24.49  about yourself may disappear before his holiness. See in him God's  creation. For in him, his Father waits for your acknowledgment that
Tx:24.62  of earth on whom such love is lavished? What is this parody of God's  creation that takes the place of yours? And where are they, now that
Tx:24.63  shines not alone. What is within your brother still contains all of  creation, everything created and creating, born and unborn as yet,
Tx:24.67  means and end are one, and one with Him. This is the state of true  creation, found not within time, but in eternity. To no one here is
Tx:24.71  offer to the “father” what he wants. Such is the travesty on God's  creation. For as His Son's creation gave Him joy and witness to His
Tx:24.71  he wants. Such is the travesty on God's creation. For as His Son's  creation gave Him joy and witness to His love and shared His purpose,
Tx:25.20  His love if you but share His praise of what He loves? God cherishes  creation as the perfect Father that He is. And so His joy is made
Tx:25.33  creates to bring him joy, sharing his Father's purpose in his own  creation that his joy might be increased and God's along with his.
Tx:25.50  it possible what God created not should share the attributes of His  creation when it opposes it in every way?
Tx:26.18  of God. How could it be, when all He knows is one? He knows of one  creation, one reality, one truth, and but one Son. Nothing conflicts
Tx:26.27  the world and reach beyond the universe to touch the heart of all  creation? What is Heaven but a song of gratitude and love and praise
Tx:26.27  and love and praise by everything created to the Source of its  creation? The holiest of altars is set where once sin was believed to
Tx:26.34  the past—an ancient past, too short to make a world in answer to  creation—did this world appear to rise. So very long ago, for such
Tx:26.52  as real as it. Then would God's Will be split in two and all  creation be subjected to the laws of two opposing powers until God
Tx:26.56  world which death and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer will  creation rise within you to replace the world you see with Heaven,
Tx:26.57  lost if what you have is what you are. This is the miracle by which  creation became your function, sharing it with God. It is not
Tx:26.67  but let to be itself—the Son of God allowed to be himself and all  creation freed to call upon the Name of God as one.
Tx:27.1  total. If it could occur at all, it would entail the whole of God's  creation and the Father with the sacrifice of his beloved Son.
Tx:27.32  must the truth abide. Unweakened power with no opposite is what  creation is. For this there are no symbols. Nothing points beyond the
Tx:28.2  is a skill made up by you to take the place of what God gave in your  creation. And like all the things you made, it can be used to serve
Tx:28.16  must also be a father who creates as God created him. The circle of  creation has no end. Its starting and its ending are the same. But in
Tx:28.16  its ending are the same. But in itself it holds the universe of all  creation, without beginning and without an end.
Tx:28.17 Fatherhood is  creation. Love must be extended. Purity is not confined. It is the
Tx:28.47  exist. And you exist because God shared His Will with you, that His  creation might create.
Tx:28.52  Creation proves reality because it shares the function all creation
Tx:28.52 Creation proves reality because it shares the function all  creation shares. It is not made of little bits of glass, a piece of
Tx:28.59  has made to him. God keeps His promises; His Son keeps his. In his  creation did his Father say, “You are beloved of Me and I of you
Tx:29.24  not himself alone. And as his Father lost not part of Him in your  creation, so the light in him is brighter still because you gave your
Tx:29.34 There is no gift the Father asks of you but that you see in all  creation but the shining glory of His gift to you. Behold His Son,
Tx:29.34  perfect gift in whom his Father shines forever and to whom is all  creation given as his own. Because he has it is it given you, and
Tx:30.39  form. Yet this could never be your will because what shares in all  creation cannot be content with small ideas and little things.
Tx:30.41  made but to fill a gap which is not there. It is not this you want.  Creation gives no separate person and no separate thing the power to
Tx:30.48  Son in Heaven is, for there the mind of Father and Son joined in  creation which can have no end. You have not two realities, but one.
Tx:30.60  is Heaven itself. Even the real world has a purpose still beneath  creation and eternity. But fear is gone because its purpose is
Tx:30.62  and yourself was never there. And what the Son of God knew in  creation, he must know again.
Tx:30.74  or escape. There would be one mistake which had the power to undo  creation and to make a world which could replace it and destroy the
Tx:31.8  to be part of you. The soft, eternal calling of each part of God's  creation to the whole is heard throughout the world this second
Tx:31.9  innocent could be a slave to guilt. God's perfect Son remembers his  creation. But in guilt he has forgotten what he really is.
Tx:31.75 Behold your role within the universe! To every part of true  creation has the Lord of Love and Life entrusted all salvation from
Tx:31.97  from anyone. Thy Will is done, complete and perfectly, and all  creation recognizes You and knows You as the only Source it has.

W1:53.5  from the effects of my own insane thoughts when the perfection of  creation is my home? Let me remember the power of my decision and
W1:62.2  is to find out who you are, having denied your Identity by attacking  creation and its Creator. Now you are learning how to remember the
W1:72.4  is only a body, so must He be as well. A creator wholly unlike his  creation is inconceivable.
W1:72.8  plan for salvation and holding your grievances against Him and His  creation, that you may not hear the Voice of truth and welcome it as
W1:73.1  nothingness arise. The will you share with God has all the power of  creation in it. The ego's idle wishes are unshared and therefore have
W1:73.1  your belief can be very strong. But they are idle indeed in terms of  creation. They make nothing that is real.
W1:73.3  of God shares with his Father? Did God create disaster for His Son?  Creation is the will of Both together. Would God create a world that
W1:76.11  you. About His yearning for His only Son, created as His channel for  creation, denied to Him by his belief in hell.
W1:76.12  channels to Him and let His Will extend through us to Him. Thus is  creation endlessly increased. His Voice will speak of this to us, as
W1:77.2  It is implicit in what God your Father is. It was ensured in your  creation and guaranteed by the laws of God.
W1:93.5  God. It does not hurt him nor attack his peace. It has not changed  creation nor reduced eternal sinlessness to sin and love to hate.
W1:93.7  you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged.  Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed
W1:93.8  of every waking hour, we will begin by stating the truth about our  creation:
W1:95.1  are one within yourself and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all  creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do
W1:95.1  yourself already. You see yourself as a ridiculous parody on God's  creation—weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with
W1:95.11  are One Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of  creation, and limitless in power and in peace.
W1:95.13 I am One Self, united with my Creator, at one with every aspect of  creation, and limitless in power and in peace.
W1:95.16  goal—to bring awareness of this oneness to all minds, that true  creation may extend the Allness and the Unity of God.
W1:105.5 True giving is  creation. It extends the limitless to the unlimited, eternity to
W1:113.2  are mine because I am One Self, completely whole, at one with all  creation and with God.
W1:123.2  from the self you thought you made to take the place of Him and His  creation. Give Him thanks today.
W1:131.9 God does not suffer conflict. Nor is His  creation split in two. How could it be His Son could be in hell when
W1:132.12  be at all. If you are real, the world you see is false, for God's  creation is unlike the world in every way. And as it was His thought
W1:134.2  It is irrelevant to everything except illusions. Truth is God's  creation, and to pardon this is meaningless. All truth belongs to
W1:138.1  is the way we make what we perceive and what we think is real.  Creation knows no opposite. But here is opposition part of being
W1:138.2  of hell. It is not really thus. Yet what is true in God's  creation cannot enter here unless it is reflected in some form the
W1:139.12  when He created us like Him. We can remember it for everyone, for in  creation are all minds as one and in our memory is the recall how
W1:139.13 In thanks for all  creation, in the name of its Creator and His oneness with all aspects
W1:139.13  in the name of its Creator and His oneness with all aspects of  creation, we repeat our dedication to our cause today each hour, as
W1:R4.4  and what your Father is. It is this thought by which the Father gave  creation to the Son, establishing the Son as co-creator with Himself.
W1:151.9  His word of what you are, for He bears witness to your beautiful  creation and the Mind Whose thought created your reality. What can
W1:158.2  it. It is not this knowledge which you give, for that is what  creation gave. All this cannot be learned. What, then, are you to
W1:160.7  certain of Its own as God is of His Son. He cannot be confused about  creation. He is sure of what belongs to Him. No stranger can be
W1:161.4  Such is the truth. Yet do these thoughts make clear the meaning of  creation? Do these words bring perfect clarity with them to you? What
W1:162.2  became His Father's happiness, His Love, and His completion. Here  creation is proclaimed and honored as it is. There is no dream these
W1:163.4  made of dust. Here is the opposite of God proclaimed as lord of all  creation, stronger than God's Will for life, the endlessness of love
W1:167.11  we understand there is one life and that we share with Him, with all  creation, with their thoughts as well, whom He created in a unity of
W1:184.11  reality. The Holy Spirit uses all of them, but He does not forget  Creation has One Name, One Meaning, and a single Source Which unifies
W1:185.1  awareness, memory of God entirely restored, the resurrection of all  creation fully recognized.
W1:186.9  and call it Son? He Who is changeless shares His attributes with His  creation. All the images His Son appears to make have no effect on
W1:191.3  which induced this weird, unnatural, and ghostly thought which mocks  creation and which laughs at God. Deny your own Identity, and you
W1:192.2 Forgiveness represents your function here. It is not God's  creation, for it is the means by which untruth can be undone. And who
W1:192.2  pardon Heaven? Yet on earth you need the means to let illusion go.  Creation merely waits for your return to be acknowledged, not to be
W1:192.3  Creation cannot even be conceived of in the world. It has no meaning
W1:193.1  and forever gaining scope, eternally expanding in the joy of full  creation, and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him. This is His
W1:195.10  gratitude is but an aspect of the love which is the Source of all  creation. God gives thanks to you, His Son, for being what you are—
W2:230.2 Father, I seek the peace You gave as mine in my  creation. What was given then must be here now, for my creation was
W2:230.2  as mine in my creation. What was given then must be here now, for my  creation was apart from time and still remains beyond all change. The
W2:239.2  are one, united in this light, and one with You, at peace with all  creation and ourselves.
W2:243.2 Father, today I leave  creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in which I am
W2:WIS.5  soon will you be ready to come home? Perhaps today? There is no sin.  Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold return to Heaven back?
W2:259.1  And what but this could be the source of fear, obscuring God's  creation, giving love the attributes of fear and of attack?
W2:262.1  one Son. And it is he that I would look upon today. He is Your one  creation. Why should I perceive a thousand forms in what remains as
W2:263.1  to be my choice instead of all the loveliness with which You blessed  creation—all its purity, its joy, and its eternal, quiet home in
W2:264.1  is that does not share Its holiness, that stands beyond Your one  creation or without the Love Which holds all things within Itself.
W2:265.1  alone. Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which  creation shines. There is no fear in it. Let no appearance of my
W2:268.1  and judge against You. Let me not attempt to interfere with Your  creation and distort it into sickly forms. Let me be willing to
W2:271.1  to God's Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in God's  creation. In Christ's sight, the world and God's creation meet, and
W2:271.1  is true in God's creation. In Christ's sight, the world and God's  creation meet, and as they come together, all perception disappears.
W2:271.1  on but must live, remembering the Father and the Son; Creator and  creation unified.
W2:276.1  yet we need but to acknowledge Him Who gave His Word to us in our  creation, to remember Him and so recall our Self.
W2:278.2  but the truth. I have had many foolish thoughts about myself and my  creation and have brought a dream of fear into my mind. Today I would
W2:283.1  an image of myself, and it is this I call the Son of God. Yet is  creation as it always was, for Your creation is unchangeable. Let me
W2:283.1  I call the Son of God. Yet is creation as it always was, for Your  creation is unchangeable. Let me not worship idols. I am He my Father
W2:WISC.2  There is no end to the release the Second Coming brings, as God's  creation must be limitless. Forgiveness lights the Second Coming's

Tx:10.31  saved for glory. Glory is your inheritance, given your Soul by its  Creator that you might extend it. Yet if you hate part of your own
Tx:10.35  if you attack His Son. When His Son lifts his voice in praise of his  Creator, he will hear the Voice of his Father. Yet the Creator cannot
Tx:10.35  praise of his Creator, he will hear the Voice of his Father. Yet the  Creator cannot be praised without His Son, for their glory is shared,
Tx:10.37  wholeness as yours. For Christ is the Son of God who lives in his  Creator and shines with His glory. Christ is the extension of the
Tx:10.37  extension of the love and the loveliness of God, as perfect as his  Creator and at peace with Him.
Tx:10.72  made many ideas which you have placed between yourselves and your  Creator, and these beliefs are the world as you perceive it. Truth is
Tx:12.52  the hymn of gladness and thanksgiving for the light to the  Creator of light. The holy light that shines forth from God's Son is
Tx:12.53 Shine on your brothers in remembrance of your  Creator, for you will remember Him as you call forth the witnesses to
Tx:12.53  see your own. And as your hymns of praise and gladness rise to your  Creator, He will return your thanks in His clear answer to your call.
Tx:13.82  yourselves the most unnatural habit of not communicating with your  Creator. Yet you remain in close communication with Him and with
Tx:14.36  you by God into unknowingness. Everything God created knows its  Creator. For this is how creation is accomplished by the Creator and
Tx:14.36  knows its Creator. For this is how creation is accomplished by the  Creator and by His creations. In the holy meeting place are joined
Tx:14.37  Heaven itself is union with all of creation and with its One  Creator. And Heaven remains the Will of God for you. Lay no gifts
Tx:14.42  world you can become a spotless mirror in which the Holiness of your  Creator shines forth from you to all around you. You can reflect
Tx:14.71  God, so do we learn as one in Him. God's Teacher is as like to His  Creator as is His Son, and through His Teacher does God proclaim His
Tx:14.74  in you is His understanding. It is as firm as is His faith in His  Creator, and He knows that faith in His Creator must encompass faith
Tx:14.74  firm as is His faith in His Creator, and He knows that faith in His  Creator must encompass faith in His creation. In this consistency
Tx:15.64  learn what you must be, for you will begin to understand what your  Creator is and what His creation is along with Him.
Tx:15.105  justified in sacrificing others. For who could thrust Heaven and its  Creator aside without a sense of sacrifice and loss? And who can
Tx:16.25  also host to them. For nothing real has ever left the mind of its  creator. And what is not real was never there.
Tx:16.40  you but the call for help which rises ceaselessly from you to your  Creator. Would He not answer you whose completion is His? He loves
Tx:16.59  have it be and gave it as it is. Love has no meaning except as its  Creator defined it by His Will. It is impossible to define it
Tx:17.22  be safe, however hidden it may be, in every relationship. For the  Creator of the one relationship has left no part of it without
Tx:17.27  happiness, and nothing God created but would extend happiness as its  Creator did. Whatever fulfills this function not cannot be real.
Tx:18.11  And Heaven looks with love on what is joined in it, along with its  Creator.
Tx:18.75  other for some things but by no means totally dependent on their one  Creator for everything and needing the whole to give them any
Tx:18.76  it from joining with the rest and keeping it apart from its  Creator. This little aspect is no different from the whole, being
Tx:18.80  transformed into the Kingdom of Heaven with all the love of its  Creator shining upon it. The holy instant is your invitation to love,
Tx:18.96  which you knew it not. Learning is useless in the Presence of your  Creator, Whose acknowledgment of you and yours of Him so far
Tx:19.5  would interpose illusions between the Son of God and his  Creator; faith would remove all obstacles that seem to rise between
Tx:19.16  as His Son is slave to nothing, being lord of all along with his  Creator. You can enslave a body, but an idea is free, incapable of
Tx:19.31  sin is real, both God and you are not. If creation is extension, the  Creator must have extended Himself, and it is impossible that what is
Tx:19.39  gratitude which you have offered Him and lay them gently before His  Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And the Father will accept
Tx:19.42  than the universe, for it would hold back the universe and its  Creator. This little wall would hide the purpose of Heaven and keep
Tx:19.80  figures in the funeral procession march not in honor of their  Creator, Whose Will it is they live. They are not following it; they
Tx:19.81  But you who would release him are but honoring the Will of his  Creator. The arrogance of sin, the pride of guilt, the sepulcher of
Tx:19.82  with His own, an Answer which left Him not and therefore brings the  Creator to the awareness of every mind which heard His Answer and
Tx:19.90  attraction for you? Very simply, you would remember your Father. The  Creator of life, the Source of everything that lives, the Father of
Tx:20.44  learn, to share his Father's confidence in him. What is he, that the  Creator of the universe should offer it to him and know it rests in
Tx:20.45  meaning of the Son of God lies solely in his relationship with his  Creator. If it were elsewhere, it would rest upon contingency, but
Tx:21.12  the blind can see, for that same song they sing in honor of their  Creator gives praise to them as well. The blindness which they made
Tx:21.20  to the Son of God without his will and thus without the Will of his  Creator, Whose Will cannot be separate from his own.
Tx:21.25  it causes. Long ago we spoke of your desire to create your own  Creator and be father and not son to Him. This is the same desire.
Tx:21.26  yourself. They are the same mistake. Nothing created not by your  Creator has any influence over you. And if you think what you have
Tx:21.26  and place your faith in its ability to do so, you are denying your  Creator and believing that you made yourself. For if you think the
Tx:21.87  as is the love of God for His creation. Sure in its vision as its  Creator is in what He knows, it looks on everything and sees it is
Tx:22.5  whom God would heal and hate the one He loves, then you and your  Creator have a different will. Yet if you are his will, what you must
Tx:22.21  to do what holds no hope of ever being done. You know what your  Creator wills is possible, but what you made believes it is not so.
Tx:22.25  has any power over you unless you still would be apart from your  Creator and with a will opposed to His. For only if you would believe
Tx:22.48  of its omnipotence and would drown out the hymn of praise to its  Creator which every heart throughout the universe forever sings as
Tx:22.52  love. He knows this mad decision was made by one as dear to His  Creator as love is to itself.
Tx:22.61  seems safer to attack another or yourself than to attack the great  Creator of the universe, whose power you know.
Tx:22.62  of you were separate from the other, and all were separate from your  Creator. For only then would it be possible to attack a part of the
Tx:22.64  realize that your relationship is a reflection of the union of the  Creator and His Son. From loving minds there is no separation. And
Tx:22.65  universe, and because it joins you, so it makes you one with your  Creator. And in Him is all creation joined. Would you regret you
Tx:23.10  perfectly, completely, and eternally. The Son of God at war with his  Creator is a condition as ridiculous as nature roaring at the wind in
Tx:23.16  everything that is not true. You dwell in peace as limitless as its  Creator, and everything is given those who would remember Him. Over
Tx:23.23  made real by what the Son of God has done both to himself and his  Creator. The arrogance on which the laws of chaos stand could not be
Tx:23.24 Here is a principle which would define what the  Creator of reality must be; what He must think and what He must
Tx:23.48  see God's Son a body. For it is not the body that is like the Son's  Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be the Son of Life. How can a
Tx:24.31 Forgive the great  Creator of the universe, the Source of life, of love and holiness,
Tx:25.17  Him that you would see as separate. Yet its frame is joined to its  Creator, one with Him and with His masterpiece. This is its purpose,
Tx:25.18  face, which but reflects the light that shines from it to its  Creator. Think not this face was ever darkened because you saw it in
Tx:25.25  knowledge does not. Knowledge has but one law because it has but one  Creator. But this world has two who made it, and they do not see it
Tx:28.10 You who have sought to lay a judgment on your own  Creator cannot understand it is not He Who laid a judgment on His
Tx:28.12  He offer them unto the one for whom He has been given them! And His  Creator shares His thanks because He would not be deprived of His
Tx:28.16  they establish its causation. Thus, the Son gives fatherhood to his  Creator and receives the gift that he has given Him. It is because he
Tx:28.23  His effects and powerless to keep them since He was no longer their  Creator. In the dream, the dreamer made himself, but what he made has
Tx:28.23  but what he made has turned against him, taking on the role of its  creator as the dreamer had. And as he hated his Creator, so the
Tx:28.23  on the role of its creator as the dreamer had. And as he hated his  Creator, so the figures in the dream have hated him. His body is

Tx:29.32  its soft embrace, so strong and quiet, tranquil in the might of its  Creator; nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God within. Here

W1:68.3 Shut off from your Self, which remains aware of its likeness to its  Creator, your Self seems to sleep, while the part of your mind that

Tx:14.63  God's lesson and not yours. Unless all this is true, there are  dark lessons in your minds which hurt and hinder you and everyone

Tx:13.39 You whose minds are  darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the Holy Spirit

Tx:1.23 A. The recognition that  darkness cannot hide. This step usually entails fear.
Tx:1.43  the light where it belongs. Holiness can never be really hidden in  darkness, but man can deceive himself about it. This illusion makes
Tx:1.57  or unreal. This is the same as saying that by perceiving light,  darkness automatically disappears.
Tx:1.58  Darkness is lack of light, as sin is lack of love. It has no unique
Tx:2.19  error. It brings all error into the light, and since error and  darkness are the same, it corrects error automatically. True denial

Tx:3.47  superconscious was perceived as a threat, because light does abolish  darkness merely by establishing the fact that it is not there. The

Tx:5.21 You are the Kingdom of Heaven, but you have let the belief in  darkness enter your minds, and so you need a new light. The Holy
Tx:5.21  The Holy Spirit is the radiance that you must let banish the idea of  darkness. His is the glory before which dissociation falls away and

Tx:9.25  as the psychotherapist does or like the theologian, by acknowledging  darkness in yourself and looking for a distant light to remove it
Tx:9.28 The therapist does not heal; he lets healing be. He can point to  darkness, but he cannot bring light of himself, for light is not of
Tx:10.14  belief that makes you want not to know. Believing this, you hide in  darkness, denying that the light is in you.
Tx:10.27  in you is part of a light so great that it can sweep you out of all  darkness forever. For your Father is your Creator, and you are like

Tx:13.11  Fidelity unto this law lets no light in, for it demands fidelity to  darkness and forbids awakening. The ego's laws are strict, and

W1:44.1  You cannot see in darkness, and you cannot make light. You can make  darkness and then think you see in it, but light reflects life and is

W1:59.5 [44] God is the Light in which I see. I cannot see in  darkness. God is the only Light. Therefore if I am to see, it must be
W1:62.1 It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of  darkness to the light. It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize
W1:69.1  are hiding the light of the world in you, everyone stands in  darkness, and you beside him. But as the veil of your grievances is
W1:69.2  the salvation of the world. We are trying to see past the veil of  darkness that keeps it concealed. We are trying to let the veil be
W1:69.7  of the universe to help you, and God Himself will raise you from  darkness into light. You are in accord with His Will. You cannot fail
W1:73.1  God. This is not the same as the ego's idle wishes, out of which  darkness and nothingness arise. The will you share with God has all
W1:73.4  Will of God. It is not Heaven, but the light of Heaven shines on it.  Darkness has vanished; the ego's idle wishes have been withdrawn.
W1:73.5  can only mirror what is within. The source of neither light nor  darkness can be found without. Grievances darken your mind, and you
W1:73.5  mind, and you look out on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the  darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a world of
W1:73.16 I will there be light.  Darkness is not my will.
W1:73.17  your grievances go instead of cherishing them and hiding them in the  darkness.
W1:75.1  You are at peace, and you bring peace with you wherever you go.  Darkness and turmoil and death have disappeared. The light has come.
W1:75.11  Be confident that on this day there is a new beginning. Without the  darkness of the past upon your eyes, you cannot fail to see today.
W1:75.13 Should you be tempted, say to anyone who seems to pull you back to  darkness:
W1:78.3  stands in light, but you were in the dark. Each grievance made the  darkness deeper, and you could not see.
W1:85.2  Recognizing this, what do I want my grievances for? They keep me in  darkness and hide the light. Grievances and light cannot go together,
W1:87.2  use the power of my will today. It is not my will to grope about in  darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal.
W1:88.2  but choose the light, for it has no alternative. It has replaced the  darkness, and the dark is gone.
W1:88.4 This cannot show me  darkness, for the light has come. The light in you is all that I
W1:91.2 To you, then, light is crucial. While you remain in  darkness, the miracle remains unseen. Thus you are convinced it is
W1:91.2  it is not there. This follows from the premises from which the  darkness comes. Denial of light leads to failure to perceive it.
W1:91.2  to failure to perceive it. Failure to perceive light is to perceive  darkness. The light is useless to you then, even though it is there.
W1:91.2  its presence is unknown to you. And the seeming reality of the  darkness makes the idea of light meaningless.
W1:91.3  doubt the images they show you are reality. Your faith lies in the  darkness, not the light.
W1:91.11  but certain. I am not an illusion, but a reality. I cannot see in  darkness, but in light.
W1:92.1  the previous one. You do not think of light in terms of strength and  darkness in terms of weakness. That is because your idea of what
W1:92.3  is your weakness that sees through the body's eyes, peering about in  darkness to behold the likeness of itself—the small, the weak, the
W1:92.4  It sees itself. It brings the light in which your Self appears. In  darkness you perceive a self that is not there.
W1:92.5  idol falsely worshiped and adored that strength may be dispelled and  darkness rule where God appointed that there should be light.
W1:92.5  and shines with light its Source has given it; weakness reflects the  darkness of its maker. It is sick and looks on sickness, which is
W1:92.7 Weakness, which looks in  darkness, cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in love. It sees
W1:92.7  that it would share. It judges and condemns but does not love. In  darkness it remains to hide itself and dreams that it is strong and
W1:92.7  is strong and conquering, a victor over limitations that but grow in  darkness to enormous size. It fears and it attacks and hates itself,
W1:92.7  to enormous size. It fears and it attacks and hates itself, and  darkness covers everything it sees, leaving its dreams as fearful as

W1:93.1 You think you are the home of evil,  darkness, and sin. You think if anyone could see the truth about you
W1:94.2  guarantee of strength and light as well. You are as God created you.  Darkness cannot obscure the glory of the Son of God. You stand in
W1:95.17  Self, complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of  darkness from the world and let the light in you come through to
W1:97.7  the steady brilliance of this light remain, and leads you out of  darkness, nor will you be able to forget the way again.
W1:108.2  eyes behold. It is a state of mind which has become so unified that  darkness cannot be perceived at all. And thus what is the same is
W1:111.2 [91] Miracles are seen in light. I cannot see in  darkness. Let the light of holiness and truth light up my mind And
W1:121.2  release from pain. It suffers and abides in misery, peering about in  darkness, seeing not, yet certain of the danger lurking there.
W1:121.3  afraid of every sound, yet more afraid of stillness; terrified of  darkness, yet more terrified at the approach of light.
W1:127.5  Seek not within the world to find your Self. Love is not found in  darkness and in death. Yet it is perfectly apparent to eyes that see
W1:129.9 Then close your eyes upon the world you see, and in the silent  darkness watch the lights that are not of this world light one by one
W1:129.10  to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest beyond the world of  darkness. Here is light your eyes cannot behold. And yet your mind
W1:130.2  see. Love and perception thus go hand in hand, but fear obscures in  darkness what is there.
W1:130.3 What, then, can fear project upon the world? What can be seen in  darkness that is real? Truth is eclipsed by fear, and what remains is
W1:131.1  is none, for safety in the midst of danger, immortality within the  darkness of the dream of death. Who could succeed where contradiction
W1:131.16  your one intent to go beyond it. Angels light the way, so that all  darkness vanishes and you are standing in a light so bright and clear

W1:153.11  while you fail to teach what you have learned, salvation waits and  darkness holds the world in grim imprisonment. Nor will you learn
W1:162.6  You are as God created you. These words dispel the night, and  darkness is no more. The light is come today to bless the world, for
W1:182.3  not at home. He goes uncertainly about in endless search, seeking in  darkness what he cannot find, not recognizing what it is he seeks. A
W1:184.10 —a prison house from which you go into the sunlight and forget the  darkness. Here you understand the Word, the Name Which God has given
W1:184.10  share; the one acknowledgment of what is true. And then step back to  darkness, not because you think it real, but only to proclaim its
W1:184.10  its unreality in terms which still have meaning in the world which  darkness rules.
W1:184.11 Use all the little names and symbols which delineate the world of  darkness. Yet accept them not as your reality. The Holy Spirit uses
W1:190.11  peace of God instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven for the  darkness of the world.
W1:192.7  to perceive that this is so. Without its kindly light we grope in  darkness, using reason but to justify our rage and our attack. Our
W1:198.9  words upon your mind that you may find the key to light and let the  darkness end:
W2:I.8  would have us go. His hand has held us up. His thoughts have lit the  darkness of our minds. His Love has called to us unceasingly since
W2:274.1  the truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace all  darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You created him.
W2:302.1  But we had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that  darkness is our own imagining and light is there for us to look upon.
W2:302.1  and light is there for us to look upon. Christ's vision changes  darkness into light, for fear must disappear when love has come. Let
W2:304.2 You lead me from the  darkness to the light, from sin to holiness. Let me forgive and thus
W2:WIE.5 Yet will one lily of forgiveness change the  darkness into light, the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life

W1:3.2  by judgment, in selecting the things to which the idea for the  day is to be applied. For this purpose one thing is like another—
W1:4.1  preceding ones, these exercises do not begin with the idea for the  day. In these practice periods, begin with noting the thoughts that

W1:42.9  practice periods which would be most beneficial. The idea for the  day is a beginning step in bringing thoughts together and teaching

W1:43.12  circumstances and situations in which you find yourself during the  day. When you are with someone else, for example, try to remember to

W1:95.20 Throughout the  day do not forget your goal. Repeat today's idea as frequently as
W1:96.17  the gift. Think, then, how much is given unto you to give this  day, that it be given you!

W1:R3.8  to your review and also give the last five minutes of your waking  day to it. If this cannot be done, at least try to divide them so you
W1:R3.9 The exercises to be done throughout the  day are equally important and perhaps of even greater value. You have
W1:R3.11  with you and let it serve to help you keep your peace throughout the  day as well. If you are shaken, think of it again. These practice
W1:R3.11  planned to help you form the habit of applying what you learn each  day to everything you do.
W1:R3.12  of any kind. Try, then, to take it with you in the business of the  day and make it holy, worthy of God's Son, acceptable to God and to
W1:121.13 Do not forget throughout the  day the role forgiveness plays in bringing happiness to every
W1:122.2  in your eyes as you awake and gives you joy with which to meet the  day. It soothes your forehead while you sleep and rests upon your
W1:122.2  malice, and attack. And when you wake again, it offers you another  day of happiness and peace. All this forgiveness offers you, and more.

W1:122.13 Let not your gifts recede throughout the  day, as you return again to meet a world of shifting change and bleak
W1:122.14  which has power to hold your gifts in your awareness through the  day:
W1:123.2 A  day devoted now to gratitude will add the benefit of some insight
W1:125.1 Let this  day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father wills
W1:125.1 Let this day be a  day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father wills you hear
W1:125.10  a moment and remind yourself you have a special purpose for this  day—in quiet to receive the Word of God.
W1:126.8  the release which lies in the idea we practice for today, this is a  day of glory for the world.
W1:126.11  can, remind yourself you have a goal today—an aim which makes this  day of special value to yourself and all your brothers. Do not let
W1:127.11 We will remember them throughout the  day because we cannot leave a part of us outside our love if we would
W1:128.8 Protect your mind throughout the  day as well. And when you think you see some value in an aspect or an
W1:129.4  and yet surely understood. Communication, unambiguous and plain as  day, remains unlimited for all eternity. And God Himself speaks to

W1:129.10  A day of grace is given you today, and we give thanks. This  day we realize that what you feared to lose was only loss.
W1:130.5 Today we will not seek for them nor waste this  day in seeking not what cannot be found. It is impossible to see two
W1:131.17  the Spirit Heaven sent you that you might approach this door some  day and through His aid slip effortlessly past it to the light. Today
W1:131.17  through His aid slip effortlessly past it to the light. Today that  day has come. Today God keeps His ancient promise to His holy Son, as
W1:131.17  to His holy Son, as does His Son remember his to Him. This is a  day of gladness, for we come to the appointed time and place where
W1:132.15  them. And we who are as He created us would loose the world this  day from every one of our illusions that we may be free.
W1:132.20 Throughout the  day, increase the freedom sent through your ideas to all the world,
W1:134.19 Forgiveness should be practiced through the  day, for there will be so many times when you forget its meaning and
W1:135.28 Try not to shape this  day as you believe would benefit you most. For you cannot conceive of
W1:135.28  giant stride and celebrate your Eastertime with you. Throughout the  day, as foolish little things appear to raise defensiveness in you
W1:135.28  you to engage in weaving plans, remind yourself this is a special  day for learning, and acknowledge it with this:
W1:137.12  only truth will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing will this  day go forth from what is healed to what must yet be healed, aware
W1:137.14 Yet must we be prepared for such a gift. And so we will begin the  day with this and give ten minutes to these thoughts with which we
W1:137.16 Let healing be through you this very  day. And as you rest in quiet, be prepared to give as you receive, to
W1:137.16  attack. Nor will we let this function be forgot as every hour of the  day slips by, remembering our function with this thought:
W1:138.12  hour in between. And now we give the last five minutes of our waking  day to the decision with which we awoke. As every hour passed, we
W1:138.12  quiet time devoted to maintaining sanity. And finally we close the  day with this, acknowledging we chose but what we want:
W1:140.11 We waken hearing Him and let Him speak to us five minutes as the  day begins and end the day by listening again five minutes more
W1:140.11  and let Him speak to us five minutes as the day begins and end the  day by listening again five minutes more before we go to sleep. Our
W1:140.14  prayer be given us as we attend in silence and in joy. This is the  day when healing comes to us. This is the day when separation ends
W1:140.14  and in joy. This is the day when healing comes to us. This is the  day when separation ends and we remember Who we really are.
W1:R4.7 Begin each  day with time devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what
W1:R4.7  of your mind to learn what each idea you will review that  day can offer you in freedom and in peace. Open your mind and clear
W1:R4.9 Five minutes with this thought will be enough to set the  day along the lines which God appointed and to place His Mind in
W1:R4.9  place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that  day. They will not come from you alone, for they will all be shared
W1:R4.10  read each of the two ideas assigned to you to be reviewed that  day. Then close your eyes and say them slowly to yourself. There is
W1:R4.10  given to you through His Voice. Let each idea that you review that  day give you the gift which He has laid in it for you to have of Him.
W1:R4.11 Each hour of the  day bring to your mind the thought with which the day began and spend
W1:R4.11 Each hour of the day bring to your mind the thought with which the  day began and spend a quiet moment with it. Then repeat the two ideas
W1:R4.11  quiet moment with it. Then repeat the two ideas you practice for the  day unhurriedly, with time enough to see the gifts which they contain
W1:R4.12 Each  day of practicing, as we review, we close as we began, repeating
W1:R4.12  we close as we began, repeating first the thought that made the  day a special time of blessing and of happiness for us and through
W1:R4.12  keeping of His Word. And as you give your mind to the ideas for the  day again before you sleep, His gratitude surrounds you in the peace
W1:151.13  with but a single, slow repeating of the thought with which the  day begins. And then we watch our thoughts, appealing silently to Him
W1:152.13 The power of decision is my own. This  day I will accept myself as what my Father's Will created me to be.
W1:152.15 In patience wait for Him throughout the  day and hourly invite Him with the words with which the day began,
W1:152.15  the day and hourly invite Him with the words with which the  day began, concluding it with this same invitation to your Self.
W1:153.14 So is the story ended. Let this  day bring the last chapter closer to the world that everyone may
W1:153.15  in a form we will maintain for quite a while. We will begin each  day by giving our attention to the daily thought as long as possible.
W1:153.15  Five minutes now becomes the least we give to preparation for a  day in which salvation is the only goal we have. Ten would be better;
W1:153.19  defenselessness. We clothe ourselves in it as we prepare to meet the  day. We rise up strong in Christ and let our weakness disappear as we
W1:153.19  us. We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the  day and never leaves our weakness unsupported by His strength.
W1:155.14 And now He asks but that you think of Him a while each  day that He may speak to you and tell you of His Love, reminding you
W1:156.8 “Who walks with me?” This question should be asked a thousand times a  day, till certainty has ended doubting and established peace. Today
W1:157.1 This is a  day of silence and of trust. It is a special time of promise in your

W1:157.1  timeless light upon this day when echoes of eternity are heard. This  day is holy, for it ushers in a new experience, a different kind of
W1:157.4  for now is what He wills. And having joined your will with His this  day, what you are asking must be given you. Nothing is needed but
W1:157.5 From this  day forth, your ministry takes on a genuine devotion and a glow that
W1:157.6  purpose being now to bring the vision of what you experience this  day to light the world. We cannot give experience like this directly.
W1:157.8  this journey which you make and start today with the experience this  day holds out to you to be your own.
W1:162.3  own—arising with them in his mind, recalling them throughout the  day, at night bringing them with him as he goes to sleep. His dreams
W1:164.3  your seeming sins forgot and all your sorrows unremembered. On this  day is grief laid by, for sights and sounds which come from nearer
W1:164.5 This is the  day when vain imaginings part like a curtain to reveal what lies
W1:164.6 Brothers, this  day is sacred to the world. Your vision, given you from far beyond
W1:164.9  you surely want—you can exchange all suffering for joy this very  day. Practice in earnest, and the gift is yours. Would God deceive
W1:168.5 It is a new and holy  day today, for we receive what has been given us. Our faith lies in
W1:169.14  prayer, yet in the world, what could be more than what we ask this  day of Him Who gives the grace we ask as it was given Him?
W1:R5.14 With this we start each  day of our review. With this we start and end each period of practice
W1:R5.14  once again with these same words upon our lips to greet another  day. No thought that we review but we surround with it and use the
W1:R5.14  before our minds and keep it clear in our remembrance throughout the  day. And thus when we have finished this review, we will have
W1:I2.3  So we now attempt to go past all defenses for a little while each  day. No more than this is asked because no more than this is needed.
W1:181.8 And we will also use these thoughts to keep us safe throughout the  day. We do not seek for long range goals. As each obstruction seems
W1:184.10 Thus what you need are intervals each  day in which the learning of the world becomes a transitory phase—a
W1:186.1 Here is the statement that will one  day take all arrogance away from every mind. Here is the thought of
W1:186.8  bliss of loved and loving. We can laugh or weep and greet the  day with welcome or with tears. Our very being seems to change as we
W1:189.2  gentle home in which to stay a while. It blesses you throughout the  day and watches through the night as silent guardian of your holy
W1:190.10 This is the  day when it is given you to realize the lesson which contains all of
W1:192.3  makes are dreams, but of a kind so close to waking that the light of  day already shines in them. And eyes already opening behold the
W1:193.14  today to overcome a thousand seeming obstacles to peace in just one  day. Let mercy come to you more quickly. Do not try to hold it off

Tx:15.3  And out of its unwillingness for you to find peace even in the  death it wants for you, it offers you immortality in hell. It speaks
Tx:15.4  is directed to. Hell is its goal, for although the ego aims at  death and dissolution as an end, it does not believe it. The goal of
Tx:15.4  death and dissolution as an end, it does not believe it. The goal of  death, which it craves for you, leaves it unsatisfied. No one who

Tx:15.5  cannot be separated, and because it cannot conceive of its own  death, it will pursue you still because guilt is eternal. Such is the
Tx:16.33  This is the choice they see. And love to them is only an escape from  death. They seek it desperately but not in the peace in which it
Tx:16.33  it would gladly come quietly to them. And when they find the fear of  death is still upon them, the love relationship loses the illusion
Tx:16.52  theme which is acted out in the special relationship. Through the  death of your self, you think you can attack another self and snatch
Tx:16.53  and on his body raise another self which takes its power from his  death. Over and over and over this ritual is enacted. And it is never
Tx:16.53  the ritual of completion cannot complete, and life arises not from  death, nor Heaven from hell.
Tx:16.54  it is—a senseless ritual in which strength is extracted from the  death of God and invested in His killer as the sign that form has
Tx:16.55 No rituals that you have set up in which the dance of  death delights you can bring death to the eternal. Nor can your
Tx:16.55  you have set up in which the dance of death delights you can bring  death to the eternal. Nor can your chosen substitute for the
Tx:16.67  beauty and holiness of guilt. Only the wholly insane could look on  death and suffering, sickness and despair and see it thus. What guilt
Tx:17.35  for these aspects enclose the whole, complete in every aspect.  Death lies in this glittering gift. Let not your gaze dwell on the
Tx:17.35  gleaming of the frame. Look at the picture, and realize that  death is offered you.
Tx:17.36  but you do need defense against your own acceptance of the gift of  death. When you who are truth accept an idea so dangerous to truth,
Tx:17.39  other is framed for perfect clarity. The picture of darkness and of  death grows less convincing as you search it out amid its wrappings.
Tx:18.4  which brought truth to illusion, infinity to time, and life to  death, was all you ever made. Your whole world rests upon it.
Tx:18.55  hate and where you have sown the seeds of vengeance, violence, and  death. This thing you made to serve your guilt stands between you and
Tx:19.19  in the whole idea of sin, it is impossible. For the wages of sin is  death, and how can the immortal die?
Tx:19.23  corrupt his Father and changed His Mind completely. Mourn, then, the  death of God, Whom sin has killed! And this would be the ego's wish,
Tx:19.50  evil and of sin which they can find, losing none of them on pain of  death and laying them respectfully before their lord and master.
Tx:19.56  your sin, and so I had to die instead of you. To the ego sin means  death, and so Atonement is achieved through murder. Salvation is
Tx:19.57  of salvation, but not its Source. No one can die for anyone, and  death does not atone for sin. Yet you can live to show it is not
Tx:19.61  that in it lies salvation? Do you not see that this is the belief in  death? Here is the focus of the perception of Atonement as murder.
Tx:19.66  Where can guilt be, when the belief in sin is gone? And where is  death, when its great advocate is heard no more?
Tx:19.72  the body's pleasure is happiness. Yet to itself it whispers, “It is  death.”
Tx:19.75  as himself, without which he would die, and yet within which is his  death equally inevitable.

Tx:19.76  along the way and finding what it seeks. So does the ego find the  death it seeks, returning it to you.
Tx:19.77  it is given to release and be released from the dedication to  death. For it was offered you, and you accepted. Yet you must learn
Tx:19.77  which peace must flow across. No one can die unless he chooses  death. What seems to be the fear of death is really its attraction.
Tx:19.77  No one can die unless he chooses death. What seems to be the fear of  death is really its attraction. Guilt, too, is feared and fearful.
Tx:19.77  on those who are attracted to it and seek it out. And so it is with  death. Made by the ego, its dark shadow falls across all living
Tx:19.78  in the slow procession which honors their grim master, lord of  death? Touch any one of them with the gentle hands of forgiveness and
Tx:19.78  the black robe he was wearing to his funeral and hear him laugh at  death. The sentence sin would lay upon him he can escape through your
Tx:19.79  God. What is impossible to you who chose His Will as yours? What is  death to you? Your dedication is not to death nor to its master. When
Tx:19.79  His Will as yours? What is death to you? Your dedication is not to  death nor to its master. When you accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose
Tx:19.79  the Holy Spirit's purpose in place of the ego's, you renounced  death, exchanging it for life. We know that an idea leaves not its
Tx:19.79  it for life. We know that an idea leaves not its source. And  death is the result of the thought we call the ego as surely as life
Tx:19.80 From the ego came sin and guilt and  death, in opposition to life and innocence and to the Will of God
Tx:19.80  of Heaven? One thing is sure—God, Who created neither sin nor  death, wills not that you be bound by them. He knows of neither sin
Tx:19.81  black-draped body they would bury? A body which they dedicated to  death, a symbol of corruption, a sacrifice to sin, offered to sin to
Tx:19.81  of separation—all are part of your unrecognized dedication to  death. The glitter of guilt you laid upon the body would kill it. For
Tx:19.83  but serve your purpose. As you look upon it, so will it seem to be.  Death, were it true, would be the final and complete disruption of
Tx:19.84 Those who fear  death see not how often and how loudly they call to it and bid it
Tx:19.84  they call to it and bid it come to save them from communication. For  death is seen as safety, the great dark savior from the light of
Tx:19.84  the silencer of the Voice that speaks for God. Yet the retreat to  death is not the end of conflict. Only God's Answer is its end. The
Tx:19.84  Only God's Answer is its end. The obstacle of your seeming love for  death that peace must flow across seems to be very great. For in it
Tx:19.85  to kill. My brothers, children of our Father, this is a dream of  death. There is no funeral, no dark altars, no grim commandments nor
Tx:19.85  it to do. In its exaltation you commanded it to die, for only  death could conquer life. And what but insanity could look upon the
Tx:19.86 The fear of  death will go as its appeal is yielded to love's real attraction. The
Tx:19.86  it is yours. For it is deathless, and within it lies the end of  death.
Tx:19.88 —the ego has perceived it as a symbol of fear, a sign of sin and  death. Remember then that neither sign nor symbol should be confused
Tx:19.89  upon it, judging it for me. Let me not see it as a sign of sin and  death nor use it for destruction. Teach me how not to make of it an
Tx:19.90 What would you see without the fear of  death? What would you feel and think if death held no attraction for

Tx:19.92 This is the darkest veil, upheld by the belief in  death and protected by its attraction. The dedication to death and to
Tx:19.92  belief in death and protected by its attraction. The dedication to  death and to its sovereignty is but the solemn vow, the promise made
Tx:19.93 See how the belief in  death would seem to “save” you. For if this is gone, what can you
Tx:19.93  if this is gone, what can you fear but life? It is the attraction of  death that makes life seem to be ugly, cruel, and tyrannical. You are
Tx:19.93  seem to be ugly, cruel, and tyrannical. You are no more afraid of  death than of the ego. These are your chosen friends. For in your

Tx:19.96  to forget again, no stab of fear, nor the cold sweat of seeming  death can stand against your will. For what attracts you from beyond
Tx:19.106  in it that we may rise as one in resurrection and not separate in  death. Behold the gift of freedom that I gave the Holy Spirit for
Tx:19.107  complete release from sin here in the garden of seeming agony and  death. So will we prepare together the way unto the resurrection of

Tx:20.3 We cannot be united in crucifixion and in  death. Nor can the resurrection be complete till your forgiveness
Tx:20.11  no thorns nor nails to crucify the Son of God and crown him king of  death. Your chosen home is on the other side, beyond the veil. It has
Tx:20.19  through constant dangers, alone and frightened, hoping at most that  death will wait a little longer before it overtakes you and you

Tx:20.43  by remembering them, the laws that held you prisoner to pain and  death must be forgotten. This is no gift your brother's body offers
Tx:20.55  keeping it prisoner in a tiny spot of space and time, beholden unto  death and given but an instant in which to sigh and grieve and die in
Tx:20.73  is but a toy, a whim, the senseless means to play the idle game of  death in your imagination. But vision sets all things right, bringing

Tx:22.18 Illusions carry only guilt and suffering, sickness and  death to their believers. The form in which they are accepted is
Tx:22.22  not decide alone nor differently. Either you give each other life or  death; either you are each other's savior or his judge, offering him
Tx:23.8  And if it were, is this a victory that you would want? The  death of God, if it were possible, would be your death. Is this a
Tx:23.8  you would want? The death of God, if it were possible, would be your  death. Is this a victory? The ego always marches to defeat because it
Tx:23.22  of sin, is that each one must sin and therefore deserves attack and  death. This principle, closely related to the first, is the demand
Tx:23.29  you may have that which belongs to you. His treachery demands his  death that you may live. And you attack only in self defense.
Tx:23.30 But what is it you want that needs his  death? Can you be sure your murderous attack is justified unless you
Tx:23.33  the savior from salvation. How lovely do the laws of fear make  death appear! Give thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who saved
Tx:23.33  the hero on love's throne, who saved the Son of God for fear and  death!
Tx:23.35 How can some forms of murder not mean  death? Can an attack in any form be love? What form of condemnation
Tx:23.37  life is illusion. At best, it seems like life; at worst, like  death. Yet both are judgments on what is not life, equal in their
Tx:23.41  murder and escapes the guilt the thought entails. If the intent is  death, what matter the form it takes?
Tx:23.42 Is  death in any form, however lovely and charitable it may seem to be, a

Tx:24.23  receiver. Not one glance from eyes it veils but looks on sight of  death. Not one believer in its potency but seeks for bargains and for
Tx:24.25  this despair you travel now, yet it is but illusion of despair. The  death of specialness is not your death but your awaking into life
Tx:24.25  it is but illusion of despair. The death of specialness is not your  death but your awaking into life eternal. You but emerge from an

Tx:24.30  the same, for neither one wills specialness. How could they will the  death of love itself? Yet they are powerless to make attack upon
Tx:24.30  to be brought to them and left behind. Salvation challenges not even  death. And God Himself, Who knows that death is not your will, must
Tx:24.30  Salvation challenges not even death. And God Himself, Who knows that  death is not your will, must say, “Thy will be done” because you

Tx:24.32  their dream reality. Curse God and die, but not by Him Who made not  death, but only in the dream. Open your eyes a little; see the savior
Tx:24.34  to it to kill it first. And such is guilt's attraction. Here is  death enthroned as savior; crucifixion is now redemption, and
Tx:24.43  delight in but to kill? What does it seek for but the sight of  death? Where does it lead but to destruction? Yet think not that it
Tx:24.46  Heaven that their ears may hear no more the sound of battle and of  death. He reaches through them, holding out His hand that everyone

Tx:24.65  of loveliness around your hate, and you condemn it to decay and  death. And if you see this purpose in your brother's, such is your
Tx:25.1  very center of your life. What gives you life cannot be housed in  death. No more can you. Christ is within a frame of holiness whose
Tx:25.5  you of yourself—your sinfulness, your evil, and above all, your  death. And would you not despise the one who tells you this and seek
Tx:25.5  And would you not despise the one who tells you this and seek his  death instead? The message and the messenger are one. And you must
Tx:25.18  not this face was ever darkened because you saw it in a frame of  death. God kept it safe that you might look on it and see the
Tx:25.19  seeing is the vision shared that looks on Christ instead of seeing  death.
Tx:25.40  you, your savior offers you salvation. Condemned by you, he offers  death to you. In everyone you see but the reflection of what you
Tx:25.50  with glitter and with guile. Yet each one knows the cost of sin is  death. And so it is. For sin is a request for death, a wish to make
Tx:25.50  the cost of sin is death. And so it is. For sin is a request for  death, a wish to make this world's foundation sure as love,
Tx:25.51 It cannot be the “sinner's” wish for  death is just as strong as is God's Will for life. Nor can the basis
Tx:25.54  that would lead the Son of God to sanity and joy. Nothing attests to  death and cruelty, to separation, and to differences. For here is
Tx:25.62  or you must lose to madness because your aims can not be reconciled.  Death demands life, but life is not maintained at any cost. No one
Tx:25.65  of sin demand a victim. Who it may be makes little difference. But  death must be the cost and must be paid. This is not justice but
Tx:25.65  could justice be defined without insanity where love means hate and  death is seen as victory and triumph over eternity and timelessness
Tx:25.73  He would not allow His Son be judged by those who seek his  death and could not see his worth at all. What honest witnesses could

Tx:26.7  a sacrifice of life and make your eyes and ears bear witness to the  death of God and of His holy Son, think not that you have power to
Tx:26.8  by time, and far beyond the reach of any sacrifice of life or  death. For neither did he make, and only one was given him by One Who
Tx:26.39  to take its place. And now you are a part of resurrection, not of  death. No past illusions have the power to keep you in a place of
Tx:26.39  of death. No past illusions have the power to keep you in a place of  death, a vault God's Son entered an instant, to be instantly restored
Tx:26.41  now. The real world is the second part of the hallucination time and  death are real and have existence which can be perceived. This
Tx:26.42  a gap at all. Such is each life—a seeming interval from birth to  death and on to life again, a repetition of an instant gone by long
Tx:26.44  in sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and  death has come to you. For no one can make one illusion real and
Tx:26.53  to rule. Perhaps you do not see the role forgiveness plays in ending  death and all beliefs that rise from mists of guilt.
Tx:26.56  sigh that speaks for Heaven as a preference to this world which  death and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer will creation

Tx:26.64  been given to save the Son of God from crucifixion and from hell and  death, all glory be forever. For you have power to save the Son of
Tx:26.66  fulfilled. Let us unite in bringing blessing to the world of sin and  death. For what can save each one of us can save us all. There is no
Tx:26.76  freedom in a prisoner's form? Why should deliverance be disguised as  death? Delay is senseless, and the “reasoning” which would maintain
Tx:26.79  be all white and sparkling in the summer sun. What was a place of  death has now become a living temple in a world of light. Because of

Tx:27.18  things the world attests can never be undone. And hopelessness and  death must disappear before the ancient clarion call of life. This

Tx:27.18  the last trumpet that the world will ever hear. Brother, there is no  death. And this you learn when you but wish to show your brother that
Tx:27.55  foremost makes no difference. Sin's witnesses hear but the call of  death.
Tx:27.57  He love whatever you hold dear. And for each witness to the body's  death He sends a witness to your life in Him Who knows no death. Each

Tx:31.10  you who fail to hear the call that echoes past each seeming call to  death, that sings behind each murderous attack and pleads that love

W2:300.1 This is the thought that can be used to say that  death and sorrow are the certain lot of all who come here. For their
W2:314.1  its idols and its images, and being formless, it has no effects.  Death will not claim the future now, for life is now its goal, and

Tx:5.95  This is obvious if you realize that you must already have made a  decision not to be wholly joyous if that is how you feel. Therefore,
Tx:5.96 I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at peace. I made the  decision myself, but I can also decide otherwise. I will to decide
Tx:5.96  because the Holy Spirit will undo all the consequences of my wrong  decision if I will let Him. I will to let Him, by allowing Him to

Tx:6.76  the Holy Spirit teaches you that truth was created by God, and your  decision cannot change it. As you begin to realize the quiet power of

Tx:8.23  wills no one suffer. He does not will anyone to suffer for a wrong  decision, including you. That is why He has given you the means for
Tx:8.28  and accepting God. My will is His, and your will to hear me is the  decision to hear His Voice and abide in His Will. As God sent me to
Tx:8.31  you determine your own condition, because will is the mechanism of  decision. It is the power by which you separate or join and
Tx:8.46  want? You made neither yourself nor your function. You made only the  decision to be unworthy of both. Yet you could not make yourself
Tx:8.97  that God demands sacrifices of any kind. Either basic type of insane  decision will induce panic, because the atheist believes he is alone,

Tx:11.69  the witnesses for opposition are true, for they attest only to your  decision about reality, returning to you the message you gave them.

Tx:13.68  Holy Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy Spirit the  decision for guiltlessness. The power of decision is all that is
Tx:13.68  guilt; the Holy Spirit the decision for guiltlessness. The power of  decision is all that is yours. What you can decide between is fixed
Tx:13.73  make decisions for yourself, you are thinking destructively, and the  decision will be wrong. It will hurt you because of the concept of
Tx:13.73  decision will be wrong. It will hurt you because of the concept of  decision which led to it. It is not true that you can make decisions
Tx:13.73  of God's Son can be separate or isolated in its effects. Every  decision is made for the whole Sonship, directed in and out and
Tx:13.76 Would you deny the truth of God's  decision and place your pitiful appraisal of yourself in place of His
Tx:13.77  it is. Only His wisdom is capable of guiding you to follow it. Every  decision you undertake alone but signifies that you would define what
Tx:13.77  protector of your innocence, which sets you free. And it is His  decision to undo everything that would obscure your innocence from
Tx:13.78  and will decide against your peace as surely as you made the wrong  decision in ever thinking that salvation lay in you alone. Salvation
Tx:13.78  you. He has not forgotten it. Forget Him not, and He will make every  decision for you, for your salvation, and the peace of God in you.
Tx:13.80  all that you cannot know when all knowledge lies behind every  decision which the Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and
Tx:13.81  and with love for everyone who will be touched in any way by the  decision. And everyone will be. Would you take unto yourself the sole
Tx:14.20  All this, and nothing else, would He separate from you. The power of  decision, which you made in place of the power of creation, He would

Tx:15.27  to the ego cannot make little whom God has joined with Him. Every  decision you make is for Heaven or for hell and will bring you
Tx:15.37  His plan, which you must fulfill if you would join with me, by your  decision to join in any plan but His. I call you to fulfill your holy
Tx:15.95  or hostage to God. This is the choice you think you have, and the  decision which you believe that you must make.
Tx:15.100  tried many compromises in the attempt to avoid recognizing the one  decision which must be made. And yet it is the recognition of the
Tx:15.100  decision which must be made. And yet it is the recognition of the  decision just as it is that makes the decision so easy! Salvation is
Tx:15.100  it is the recognition of the decision just as it is that makes the  decision so easy! Salvation is simple, being of God and therefore
Tx:16.34  does not matter. Where one choice is as dangerous as the other, the  decision must be one of despair.
Tx:16.56  Remember this and you will have no difficulty in perceiving the  decision as just what it is and nothing more.
Tx:16.57  cannot know yourself, who shares its meaning. Separation is only the  decision not to know yourself. Its whole thought system is a

Tx:16.58  and nothing at all is here. It is impossible not to make the natural  decision as this is realized.
Tx:18.40 Forget not that it has been your  decision to make everything that is natural and easy for you
Tx:19.106  that we might meet here in this holy place and make the same  decision.
Tx:19.109  Nor is it given anything in hell or Heaven to interfere with his  decision.
Tx:21.17  the happenings that come to him were not his choice. His power of  decision is the determiner of every situation in which he seems to

Tx:21.77  body's eyes or let him be revealed to you through vision? How this  decision leads to its effects is not your problem. But what you want
Tx:21.80 This is your one  decision; this the condition for what occurs. It is irrelevant to how

Tx:22.21  Not both, but one. There is no point in trying to avoid this one  decision. It must be made. Faith and belief can fall to either side,
Tx:22.25 Behold the great projection, but look on it with the  decision that it must be healed and not with fear. Nothing you made
Tx:22.38  can no longer serve. No one who reaches this far can make the wrong  decision, but he can delay. And there is no part of the journey that

Tx:31.37  power must begin with learning where it really has a use. And what  decision has power if it be applied in situations without choice?
Tx:31.40  again. This course attempts to teach no more than that the power of  decision cannot lie in choosing different forms of what is still the
Tx:31.55  from the first is that you somehow entered in the choice by your  decision. But this gain is paid in almost equal loss, for now you

W1:64.6  simple decision really be difficult to make? Let not the form of the  decision deceive you. Complexity of form does not imply complexity of
W1:64.6  form does not imply complexity of content. It is impossible that any  decision on earth can have a content different from just this one

W1:70.7  be a good time to lay aside for each of them and adhere to your own  decision as closely as possible.
W1:78.1 Perhaps it is not yet quite clear to you that each  decision that you make is one between a grievance and a miracle. Each
W1:88.2  I merely choose to recognize what is already here. Salvation is a  decision made already. Attack and grievances are not there to choose.
W1:129.11  at last, and we are grateful that the choice is made. Remember your  decision hourly, and take a moment to confirm your choice by laying
W1:130.5  But one remains. They are the range of choice beyond which your  decision cannot go. The real and the unreal are all there is to

W1:136.5  have forgot can be remembered, given willingness to reconsider the  decision which is doubly shielded by oblivion. Your not remembering
W1:136.5  shielded by oblivion. Your not remembering is but the sign that this  decision still remains in force as far as your desires are concerned.
W1:136.7  again. And yet you have forgotten that they stand but for your own  decision of what should be real, to take the place of what is real.
W1:136.8 Sickness is a  decision. It is not a thing that happens to you quite unsought, which
W1:136.10  hell, and God's design for the salvation of His Son opposed by a  decision stronger than His Will. His Son is dust, the Father
W1:137.3  In sickness must he be apart and separate. But healing is his own  decision to be one again and to accept his Self with all its parts
W1:138.3 Choice is the obvious escape from what appears as opposites.  Decision lets one of conflicting goals become the aim of effort and
W1:138.3  goals become the aim of effort and expenditure of time. Without  decision, time is but a waste and effort dissipated. It is spent for
W1:138.11  we wake and spend five minutes making sure that we have made the one  decision that is sane. We recognize we make a conscious choice
W1:138.12  And now we give the last five minutes of our waking day to the  decision with which we awoke. As every hour passed, we have declared
W1:138.13 Heaven is the  decision I must make. I make it now and will not change my mind,
W1:139.1 Here is the end of choice. For here we come to a  decision to accept ourselves as God created us. And what is choice
W1:149.2 [138] Heaven is the  decision I must make.

W1:152.10  us immaculate, like to Himself in power and in love. The power of  decision is our own. And we accept of Him that which we are and
W1:152.13 The power of  decision is my own. This day I will accept myself as what my Father's
W1:154.1  judge ourselves, nor need we do so. These are but attempts to hold  decision off, and to delay commitment to our function. It is not our
W1:171.3 [152] The power of  decision is my own. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W2:238.1  You placed Your Son's salvation in my hands and let it rest on my  decision. I must be beloved of You indeed. And I must be steadfast in

M:5.4  a faulty problem-solving approach, it is a decision. And if it is a  decision, it is the mind and not the body that makes it. The

M:13.3  God's Word could this be possible. For self-condemnation is a  decision about identity, and no one doubts what he believes he is. He

Tx:20.62  cherished. Vision adapts to wish, for sight is always secondary to  desire. And if you see the body, you have chosen judgment and not

Tx:20.67  to you through your desire, as it was lost to you through your  desire for something else. Open the holy place which you closed off

Tx:21.86  Yet if you could even imagine what it must be, you would  desire it although you understand it not.
Tx:21.87  it so. Nothing has power to confound its constancy because its own  desire cannot be shaken. It comes as surely unto those who see the
Tx:21.88  you that you cannot ask for happiness inconstantly. For if what you  desire you receive and happiness is constant, then you need ask for
Tx:21.88  what it is, you did not ask for it. For no one fails to ask for his  desire of something he believes holds out some promise of the power
Tx:21.88  wrong in what he asks, where, and of what. Yet he will ask because  desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one whom God Himself
Tx:21.88  wants. Yet what he is uncertain of, God cannot give. For he does not  desire it while he remains uncertain, and God's giving must be

Tx:22.27  will be as it would have it be. Here is no separate will nor the  desire that anything be separate. Its will has no exceptions, and

Tx:27.19  a foolish wish with no effects. Your health is a result of your  desire to see your brother with no blood upon his hands nor guilt

Tx:8.97  is stronger than God's. If, then, a mind believes that its will is  different from His, it can only decide either that there is no God or

Tx:18.35  interfering with the lesson by believing that you make the learner  different. You did not make the learner, nor can you make him
Tx:18.35  different. You did not make the learner, nor can you make him  different. Would you first make a miracle yourself and then expect

Tx:22.63 Only the  different can attack. So you conclude because you can attack you must
Tx:22.63  can attack. So you conclude because you can attack you must be  different. Yet does the Holy Spirit explain this differently. Because
Tx:22.63  does the Holy Spirit explain this differently. Because you are not  different, you cannot attack. Either position is a logical conclusion
Tx:22.63  cannot attack. Either position is a logical conclusion if only the  different can attack. Either could be maintained, but never both. The
Tx:22.63  to be answered to decide which must be true is whether you are  different. From the position of what you understand, you seem to be
Tx:22.65  you you cannot separate, denies the ego. Let truth decide if you be  different or the same and teach you which is true.
Tx:23.12  yourself is but the battle of two illusions, struggling to make them  different from each other in the belief the one which conquers will
Tx:23.12  true. There is no conflict between them and the truth. Nor are they  different from each other. Both are not true. And so it matters not
Tx:23.17  except illusions. Illusions can conflict because their forms are  different. And they do battle only to establish which form is true.
Tx:23.20 The first chaotic law is that the truth is  different for everyone. Like all these principles, this one maintains
Tx:23.20  these principles, this one maintains that each is separate and has a  different set of thoughts which sets him off from others. This
Tx:23.23  For one must always be condemned and by the other. Now are they  different and enemies. And their relationship is one of opposition,
Tx:23.39  steps to chaos do follow neatly from their starting point. Each is a  different form in the progression of truth's reversal, leading still
Tx:23.43  difference. Thus it would teach a little of the same can still be  different, and yet the same remain intact as one. Does this make
Tx:23.48 What can be equal to the truth yet  different? Murder and love are incompatible. Yet if they both are
Tx:23.49  the Son is murder, but it is insanity. What is the same can have no  different function. Creation is the means for God's extension, and
Tx:23.51  place look down upon it. From there will your perspective be quite  different. Here in the midst of it, it does seem real. Here you have
Tx:24.5  and whom He knows? Only the special could have enemies, for they are  different and not the same. And difference of any kind imposes orders
Tx:24.6  for there is nothing in the universe unlike itself. But what is  different calls for judgment, and this must come from someone
Tx:24.11  your enemy and not your friend. Never can there be peace among the  different. He is your friend because you are the same.
Tx:24.16  but never will you hear the Voice for God beside it. They speak a  different language and they fall on different ears. To every special

Tx:24.16  and one with different meaning, is the truth. Yet how can truth be  different to each one? The special messages the special hear convince

Tx:24.72  joins them to their like and separates each from all aspects with a  different purpose. The Son of God retains His Father's Will. The son

Tx:30.82  every situation could each one be open to interpretation which is  different every time you think of it. You add an element into the

W1:I.3 The purpose of these exercises is to train the mind to a  different perception of everything in the world. The workbook is

W1:4.3  a major exercise and will be repeated from time to time in somewhat  different form. The aim here is to train you in the first steps
W1:4.3  of training your mind to recognize what is the same and what is  different. In using your thoughts for application of the idea for
W1:5.1  jealousy, or any number of forms, all of which will be perceived as  different. This is not true. However, until you learn that form does

W1:24.7 and so on. Try to cover as many  different kinds of outcome as may honestly occur to you, even if some

W1:35.3 The idea for today presents a very  different view of yourself. By establishing your Source, it
W1:35.3  describes you as you must really be in truth. We will use a somewhat  different kind of application for today's idea because the emphasis

W1:93.3  this, not from the point of view of what you think, but from a very  different reference point from which such idle thoughts are
W1:99.1  something amiss that needs corrective change, something apart or  different from the Will of God. Thus do both terms imply the thought
W1:105.4 Accept God's peace and joy, and you will learn a  different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will never lessen
W1:108.4 Here are both giving and receiving seen as  different aspects of one Thought Whose truth does not depend on which
W1:127.1 Perhaps you think that  different kinds of love are possible. Perhaps you think there is a

W1:159.7  when it was made. For here it is repaired, made new again but in a  different light. What was to be the home of sin becomes the center of

W2:311.1  Let us not use it today but make a gift of it to Him Who has a  different use for it. He will relieve you of the agony of all the
W2:314.1 From new perception of the world there comes a future very  different from the past. The future now is recognized as but
W2:345.1  to help me with the problems I perceive. Father, in Heaven it is  different, for there, there are no needs. But here on earth, the
M:2.3  long ago passed by is looked upon as a new thought, a fresh idea, a  different approach. Because your will is free, you can accept what

Tx:14.59  so unthinkable that only the insane, in deepest sleep, could even  dream of it. Can God learn how not to be God? And can His Son, given
Tx:16.73  to find salvation. There is no fantasy which does not contain the  dream of retribution for the past. Would you act out the dream or let

Tx:17.12  closing of the dream will have no meaning. Who awake in Heaven could  dream that there could ever be need of salvation?
Tx:17.18  Where no reality has entered, there is nothing to intrude upon the  dream of happiness. Yet consider what this means—the more reality
Tx:17.19  which the reality of the other does not enter at all to “spoil” the  dream. And the less the other really brings to it, the “better” it
Tx:17.73  wholly insane, nor no longer alone. For loneliness in God must be a  dream. You whose relationship shares the Holy Spirit's goal are set
Tx:18.17  scream, “I want it thus!” And thus it seems to be. And yet the  dream cannot escape its origin. Anger and fear pervade it, and in an
Tx:18.17  of satisfaction is invaded by the illusion of terror. For the  dream of your ability to control reality by substituting a world
Tx:18.18  though you made it, nor do you realize that the emotions which the  dream produces must come from you. It is the figures in the dream and
Tx:18.18  the dream produces must come from you. It is the figures in the  dream and what they do that seem to make the dream. You do not

Tx:18.18  In dreams these features are not obscure. You seem to waken, and the  dream is gone. Yet what you fail to recognize is that what caused the

Tx:18.23 Yet Heaven is sure. This is no  dream. Its coming means that you have chosen truth, and it has come

Tx:18.45  to love your brother as yourself. Nor is your holy relationship a  dream. All that remains of dreams within it is that it is still a
Tx:18.45  Spirit, Who has a special function here. It will become the happy  dream through which He can spread joy to thousands on thousands who

Tx:21.72  who are strong are never treacherous because they have no need to  dream of power and to act out their dream. How would an army act in

Tx:24.18  with the key to Heaven in his hand held out to you. Let not the  dream of specialness remain between you. What is one is joined in
Tx:24.32  on which they sleep and call them to come forth and waken from their  dream of death. Yet they hear nothing. They are lost in dreams of
Tx:24.32  would awaken them, and they curse God because He did not make their  dream reality. Curse God and die, but not by Him Who made not death,
Tx:24.32  God and die, but not by Him Who made not death, but only in the  dream. Open your eyes a little; see the savior God gave to you that
Tx:24.38  as real. If he is sinful, then is your reality not real but just a  dream of specialness which lasts an instant, crumbling into dust.
Tx:24.39 Do not defend this senseless  dream in which God is bereft of what He loves and you remain beyond
Tx:24.41 There is no  dream of specialness—however hidden or disguised the form; however
Tx:24.41  dreams, effect and cause are interchanged, for here the maker of the  dream believes that what he made is happening to him. He does not
Tx:26.36  been undone no longer is. And who can stand upon a distant shore and  dream himself across an ocean to a place and time that have long
Tx:26.36  and time that have long since gone by? How real a hindrance can this  dream be to where he really is? For this is fact and does not change

Tx:27.62  the world's demented version of salvation clearly shown. Like to a  dream of punishment in which the dreamer is unconscious of what
Tx:27.69 No one can waken from a  dream the world is dreaming for him. He becomes a part of someone
Tx:27.69  the world is dreaming for him. He becomes a part of someone else's  dream. He cannot choose to waken from a dream he did not make.

Tx:27.69  from a dream he did not make. Helpless he stands, a victim to a  dream conceived and cherished by a separate mind. Careless indeed of
Tx:27.69  him not but casts him as it will in any role that satisfies its  dream. So little is his worth that he is but a dancing shadow,
Tx:27.71  and dreams lies not between the dreaming of the world and what you  dream in secret. They are one. The dreaming of the world is but a

Tx:27.71  it were its start and ending both. Yet was it started by your secret  dream, which you do not perceive, although it caused the part you see
Tx:27.71  not doubt is real. How could you doubt it while you lie asleep and  dream in secret that its cause is real?
Tx:27.72  your death, yet plans that it be lingering and slow—of this you  dream. Yet underneath this dream is yet another in which you become
Tx:27.72  it be lingering and slow—of this you dream. Yet underneath this  dream is yet another in which you become the murderer, the secret
Tx:27.73  other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more fearful than an idle  dream has terrified God's Son and made him think that he has lost his
Tx:27.73  denied his Father, and made war upon himself. So fearful is the  dream, so seeming real, he could not waken to reality without the
Tx:27.73  the sweat of terror and a scream of mortal fear unless a gentler  dream preceded his awaking and allowed his calmer mind to welcome,
Tx:27.73  not to fear, the Voice that calls with love to waken him. [A gentler  dream, in which his suffering was healed and where his brother was
Tx:27.73  and with joy. And gave him means to waken without fear. Accept the  dream He gave instead of yours. It is not difficult to [shift] a
Tx:27.73  the dream He gave instead of yours. It is not difficult to [shift] a  dream when once the dreamer has been recognized.
Tx:27.74  the dreams He brings, there is no murder and there is no death. The  dream of guilt is fading from your sight, although your eyes are
Tx:27.75  Dream softly of your sinless brother, who unites with you in holy
Tx:27.75  brother, who unites with you in holy innocence. And from this  dream, the Lord of Heaven will Himself awaken His beloved Son. Dream
Tx:27.75  this dream, the Lord of Heaven will Himself awaken His beloved Son.  Dream of your brother's kindnesses instead of dwelling in your dreams
Tx:27.75  in your dreams on his mistakes. Select his thoughtfulness to  dream about instead of counting up the hurts he gave. Forgive him his
Tx:27.76  what you see as gifts your brother offers represent the gifts you  dream your Father gives to you. Let all your brother's gifts be seen
Tx:27.76  of charity and kindness offered you. And let no pain disturb your  dream of deep appreciation for his gifts to you.
Tx:27.77  body is the central figure in the dreaming of the world. There is no  dream without it, nor does it exist without the dream, in which it
Tx:27.77  world. There is no dream without it, nor does it exist without the  dream, in which it acts as if it were a person, to be seen and be
Tx:27.77  to be seen and be believed. It takes the central place in every  dream, which tells the story of how it was made by other bodies, born
Tx:27.78  call its own. It looks about for special bodies which can share its  dream. Sometimes it dreams it is a conqueror of bodies weaker than
Tx:27.78  a conqueror of bodies weaker than itself. But in some phases of the  dream, it is the slave of bodies that would hurt and torture it.
Tx:27.79  adventures from the time of birth to dying is the theme of every  dream the world has ever had. The “hero” of this dream will never
Tx:27.79  the theme of every dream the world has ever had. The “hero” of this  dream will never change nor will its purpose. Though the dream itself
Tx:27.79  of this dream will never change nor will its purpose. Though the  dream itself takes many forms and seems to show a great variety of
Tx:27.79  variety of places and events wherein its “hero” finds itself, the  dream has but one purpose, taught in many ways. This single lesson
Tx:27.80 Thus are you not the dreamer but the  dream. And so you wander idly in and out of places and events which
Tx:27.80  That this is all the body does is true, for it is but a figure in a  dream. But who reacts to figures in a dream unless he sees them as if
Tx:27.80  for it is but a figure in a dream. But who reacts to figures in a  dream unless he sees them as if they were real? The instant that he
Tx:27.81  of all the dreams the world has ever had? Is it your wish to let no  dream appear to be the cause of what it is you do? Then let us merely
Tx:27.82  the grounds for laughter, not a cause for fear. Let us return the  dream he gave away unto the dreamer who perceives the dream as
Tx:27.82  us return the dream he gave away unto the dreamer who perceives the  dream as separate from himself and done to him. Into eternity, where
Tx:27.83  punishes because of all the sinful things the body does within its  dream. You have no power to make the body stop its evil deeds because
Tx:27.85  but hear Him say, “My brother, Holy Son of God, behold your idle  dream in which this could occur,” and you will leave the holy instant
Tx:27.86  this is still true. For you would not react at all to figures in a  dream you knew that you were dreaming. Let them be as hateful and as
Tx:27.86  have no effect on you unless you failed to recognize it is your  dream. This single lesson learned will set you free from suffering,
Tx:28.18  has happened but that you have put yourself to sleep and dreamed a  dream in which you were an alien to yourself and but a part of
Tx:28.18  which you were an alien to yourself and but a part of someone else's  dream.
Tx:28.19  Do you wish for dreams of healing or for dreams of death? A  dream is like a memory in that it pictures what you wanted shown to
Tx:28.19  dreamer, you perceive this much at least—that you have caused the  dream and can accept another dream as well. But for this change in
Tx:28.19  at least—that you have caused the dream and can accept another  dream as well. But for this change in content of the dream, it must
Tx:28.19  accept another dream as well. But for this change in content of the  dream, it must be realized that it is you who dreamed the dreaming
Tx:28.20  you would exchange for this. This world is causeless, as is every  dream that anyone has dreamed within the world. No plans are possible
Tx:28.21  no cause? Yet if it has no cause, it has no purpose. You may cause a  dream, but never will you give it real effects. For that would change
Tx:28.21  change its cause, and it is this you cannot do. The dreamer of a  dream is not awake but does not know he sleeps. He sees illusions of
Tx:28.22 The miracle establishes you  dream a dream and that its content is not true. This is a crucial
Tx:28.22 The miracle establishes you dream a  dream and that its content is not true. This is a crucial step in
Tx:28.22  was held in place because he did not see that he was author of the  dream, and not a figure in the dream. He gives himself the
Tx:28.22  did not see that he was author of the dream, and not a figure in the  dream. He gives himself the consequences which he dreams he gave his
Tx:28.22  which he dreams he gave his brother. And it is but this the  dream has put together and has offered him to show him that his
Tx:28.23 The separation started with the  dream the Father was deprived of His effects and powerless to keep
Tx:28.23  powerless to keep them since He was no longer their Creator. In the  dream, the dreamer made himself, but what he made has turned against
Tx:28.23  the dreamer had. And as he hated his Creator, so the figures in the  dream have hated him. His body is their slave which they abuse
Tx:28.23  which appears to prove the dreamer could not be the maker of the  dream. Effect and cause are first split off and then reversed, so
Tx:28.24  of causation, not effect. For this confusion has produced the  dream, and while it lasts, will wakening be feared. Nor will the call
Tx:28.25  see that it has no effects. Now are you freed from this much of the  dream; the world is neutral, and the bodies which still seem to move
Tx:28.27  is full of miracles. They stand in shining silence next to every  dream of pain and suffering, of sin and guilt. They are the dream's
Tx:28.27  to be the dreamer rather than deny the active role in making up the  dream. They are the glad effects of taking back the consequence of
Tx:28.28  serene and simple in the rising up to waking and the ending of the  dream. When you accept a miracle, you do not add your dream of fear
Tx:28.28  ending of the dream. When you accept a miracle, you do not add your  dream of fear to one that is already being dreamed. Without support,
Tx:28.28  of fear to one that is already being dreamed. Without support, the  dream will fade away without effects. For it is your support that
Tx:28.30  brother to be sick, for if he is, have you abandoned him to his own  dream by sharing it with him. He has not seen the cause of sickness
Tx:28.30  coming that you want above all things that seem to glisten in the  dream.
Tx:28.35  your brother there. And sickness will be seen without a cause. The  dream of healing in forgiveness lies and gently shows you that you
Tx:28.37  the Atonement for yourself means not to give support to someone's  dream of sickness and of death. It means that you share not his wish
Tx:28.37  with him because that is your wish. And you become a figure in his  dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you both become illusions and
Tx:28.37  identity. You could be anyone or anything, depending on whose evil  dream you share. You can be sure of just one thing—that you are
Tx:28.38  from him who dreams them. Thus you separate the dreamer from the  dream and join [with] one but let the other go. The dream is but
Tx:28.38  dreamer from the dream and join [with] one but let the other go. The  dream is but illusion in the mind. And with the mind you would unite,
Tx:28.38  in the mind. And with the mind you would unite, but never with the  dream. It is the dream you fear and not the mind. You see them as the
Tx:28.38  with the mind you would unite, but never with the dream. It is the  dream you fear and not the mind. You see them as the same because you
Tx:28.38  mind. You see them as the same because you think that you are but a  dream. And what is real and what is but illusion in yourself you do
Tx:28.39 Like you, your brother thinks he is a  dream. Share not in his illusion of himself, for your identity
Tx:28.39  not brother made by what he dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the  dream, your brother. It is his reality that is your brother, as is
Tx:28.40  yours, he will not be released, and you are kept in bondage to his  dream. And dreams of fear will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by
Tx:28.41  do his part, but this you do when you become a passive figure in his  dream instead of dreamer of your own. Identity in dreams is
Tx:28.41  own. Identity in dreams is meaningless because the dreamer and the  dream are one. Who shares a dream must be the dream he shares because
Tx:28.41  meaningless because the dreamer and the dream are one. Who shares a  dream must be the dream he shares because by sharing is a cause
Tx:28.41  the dreamer and the dream are one. Who shares a dream must be the  dream he shares because by sharing is a cause produced.
Tx:28.42  [disappear before his eyes], and he will understand what made the  dream.
Tx:28.43  that he was separated from his brother who, by sharing not his  dream, has left the space between them vacant. And the Father comes
Tx:28.44  he will recognize himself. If you share not your brother's evil  dream, this is the picture that the miracle will place within the
Tx:28.48  dreams if you forgive the dreamer and perceive that he is not the  dream he made. And so he cannot be a part of yours, from which you
Tx:28.48  you both are free. Forgiveness separates the dreamer from the evil  dream and thus releases him.
Tx:28.49 Remember if you share an evil  dream, you will believe you are the dream you share. And fearing it,
Tx:28.49 Remember if you share an evil dream, you will believe you are the  dream you share. And fearing it, you will not want to know your own
Tx:28.49  A middle ground where you can be a thing that is not you must be a  dream and cannot be the truth.
Tx:28.51  And what that He created not can be? Let not your eyes behold a  dream, your ears bear witness to illusion. They were made to look
Tx:28.63  this as purpose is the body healed. It is not used to witness to the  dream of separation and disease. Nor is it idly blamed for what it
Tx:28.64 But never you alone. This world is but the  dream that you can be alone and think without affecting those apart
Tx:29.16 The body does not change. It represents the larger  dream that change is possible. To change is to attain a state unlike
Tx:29.21  that He is perfect and complete? Deny Him not His witness in the  dream His Son prefers to his reality. He must be savior from the
Tx:29.21  the dream His Son prefers to his reality. He must be savior from the  dream he made, that he be free of it. He must see someone else as not
Tx:29.21  keep apart all living things who know not that they live. Within the  dream of bodies and of death is yet one theme of truth—no more,
Tx:29.24  as bright as shines in him. This is the spark that shines within the  dream—that you can help him waken and be sure his waking eyes will
Tx:29.25  understood that dreams are dreams and that escape depends not on the  dream, but only on awaking. Could it be some dreams are kept and
Tx:29.25  select some dreams to leave untouched by its beneficence. You cannot  dream some dreams and wake from some, for you are either sleeping or
Tx:29.26  hold you back as much as those in which the fear is seen. For every  dream is but a dream of fear, no matter what the form it seems to
Tx:29.26  as much as those in which the fear is seen. For every dream is but a  dream of fear, no matter what the form it seems to take. The fear is
Tx:29.26  can be disguised in pleasant form. But never is it absent from the  dream, for fear is the material of dreams from which they all are
Tx:29.27  it is attacked. Depression or assault must be the theme of every  dream, for they are made of fear. The thin disguise of pleasure and
Tx:29.28  and should achieve for you. If it succeeds, you think you like the  dream. If it should fail, you think the dream is sad. But whether it
Tx:29.28  you think you like the dream. If it should fail, you think the  dream is sad. But whether it succeeds or fails is not its core but
Tx:29.29  not the one who gave the “proper” role to every figure which the  dream contains. No one can fail but your idea of him, and there is no
Tx:29.29  giving you a chance to help if this becomes the function of the  dream. And dreams of sadness thus are turned to joy.
Tx:29.30  when he fails to take the part which you assigned to him in what you  dream your life was meant to be. He asks for help in every dream he
Tx:29.30  what you dream your life was meant to be. He asks for help in every  dream he has, and you have help to give him if you see the function
Tx:29.30  he has, and you have help to give him if you see the function of the  dream as He perceives its function, Who can utilize all dreams as
Tx:29.30  serve the function given Him. Because He loves the dreamer not the  dream, each dream becomes an offering of love. For at its center is
Tx:29.30  function given Him. Because He loves the dreamer not the dream, each  dream becomes an offering of love. For at its center is His love for
Tx:29.36 A  dream is given you in which he is your savior, not your enemy in
Tx:29.36  is given you in which he is your savior, not your enemy in hate. A  dream is given you in which you have forgiven him for all his dreams
Tx:29.36  you in which you have forgiven him for all his dreams of death—a  dream of hope you share with him instead of dreaming evil separate
Tx:29.36  evil separate dreams of hate. Why does it seem so hard to share this  dream? Because unless the Holy Spirit gives the dream its function,
Tx:29.36  hard to share this dream? Because unless the Holy Spirit gives the  dream its function, it was made for hate and will continue in death's
Tx:29.37 Such is the core of fear in every  dream that has been kept apart from use by Him Who sees a different
Tx:29.37  been kept apart from use by Him Who sees a different function for a  dream. When dreams are shared, they lose the function of attack and
Tx:29.37  of attack and separation, even though it was for this that every  dream was made. Yet nothing in the world of dreams remains without
Tx:29.38  is your peace, for herein lies the end of separation and the  dream of danger and destruction, sin, and death; of madness and of
Tx:29.42  that it was made to crucify God's Son. For even though it was a  dream of death, you need not let it stand for this to you. Let this
Tx:29.44  here but must still have hope, some lingering illusion, or some  dream that there is something outside of himself that will bring
Tx:29.48  within from being known to you and to maintain allegiance to the  dream that you must find what is outside yourself to be complete and
Tx:29.49  the power you ascribe to them. And you pursue them vainly in the  dream because you want their power as your own.
Tx:29.50 Yet where are dreams but in a mind asleep? And can a  dream succeed in making real the pictures it projects outside itself?
Tx:29.61  look to idols that they raise him up? Hear then your story in the  dream you made, and ask yourself if it be not the truth that you
Tx:29.61  yourself if it be not the truth that you believe that it is not a  dream. A dream of judgment came into the mind that God created
Tx:29.61  if it be not the truth that you believe that it is not a dream. A  dream of judgment came into the mind that God created perfect as
Tx:29.61  came into the mind that God created perfect as Himself. And in that  dream was Heaven changed to hell, and God made enemy unto His Son.
Tx:29.62 How can God's Son awaken from the  dream? It is a dream of judgment. So must he judge not, and he will
Tx:29.62 How can God's Son awaken from the dream? It is a  dream of judgment. So must he judge not, and he will waken. For the
Tx:29.62  dream of judgment. So must he judge not, and he will waken. For the  dream will seem to last while he is part of it. Judge not, for he who
Tx:29.63 All figures in the  dream are idols made to save you from the dream. Yet they are part of
Tx:29.63 All figures in the dream are idols made to save you from the  dream. Yet they are part of what they have been made to save you
Tx:29.63  they have been made to save you from. Thus does an idol keep the  dream alive and terrible, for who could wish for one unless he were
Tx:29.63  and so its worship is the worship of despair and terror and the  dream from which they come. Judgment is an injustice to God's Son,
Tx:29.63  him will not escape the penalty he laid upon himself within the  dream he made. God knows of justice, not of penalty. But in the dream
Tx:29.63  the dream he made. God knows of justice, not of penalty. But in the  dream of judgment, you attack and are condemned and wish to be the
Tx:29.64 There can be no salvation in the  dream as you are dreaming it. For idols must be part of it to save
Tx:29.64  out the light within you. Little children, it is there. You do but  dream, and idols are the toys you dream you play with. Who has need
Tx:29.64  children, it is there. You do but dream, and idols are the toys you  dream you play with. Who has need of toys but children? They pretend
Tx:29.64  play with them. But they are eager to forget that they made up the  dream in which their toys are real, nor recognize their wishes are
Tx:29.65  turned against the child who thought he made them real. Yet can a  dream attack? Or can a toy grow large and dangerous and fierce and
Tx:29.66  children. Put them all away, for you have need of them no more. The  dream of judgment is a children's game in which the child becomes the
Tx:29.67 The real world still is but a  dream. Except the figures have been changed. They are not seen as
Tx:29.67  have been changed. They are not seen as idols which betray. It is a  dream in which no one is used to substitute for something else nor
Tx:29.67  not, for childish things have all been put away. And what was once a  dream of judgment now has changed into a dream where all is joy
Tx:29.67  away. And what was once a dream of judgment now has changed into a  dream where all is joy because that is the purpose which it has. Only
Tx:29.67  here, for time is almost over. And the forms which enter in the  dream are now perceived as brothers, not in judgment but in love.
Tx:29.68  separate the mind from what it thinks. They do not seek to prove the  dream is being dreamed by someone else. And in these dreams a melody

Tx:17.34  all sorts of fanciful and fragmented illusions of love, set with  dreams of sacrifice and self-aggrandizement and interlaced with

Tx:18.16  out in dreams. Yet on awakening, you do not expect it to be gone. In  dreams you arrange everything. People become what you would have them
Tx:18.17  Dreams are perceptual temper tantrums in which you literally scream,
Tx:18.18  Dreams show you that you have the power to make a world as you would
Tx:18.18  not be theirs, and the illusion of satisfaction would be gone. In  dreams these features are not obscure. You seem to waken, and the
Tx:18.19  seem to wake to is but another form of this same world you see in  dreams. All your time is spent in dreaming. Your sleeping and your
Tx:18.19  All your time is spent in dreaming. Your sleeping and your waking  dreams have different forms, and that is all. Their content is the
Tx:18.19  your fixed and insane idea that you can change it. In your waking  dreams, the special relationship [has a special place. It is the
Tx:18.19  place. It is the means by which you try to make your sleeping  dreams come true. From this you do not awaken. The special
Tx:18.20 The Holy Spirit, ever practical in His wisdom, accepts your  dreams and uses them as means for waking. You would have used them to
Tx:18.20  them to remain asleep. We once said that the first change, before  dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are changed to happy
Tx:18.20  said that the first change, before dreams disappear, is that your  dreams of fear are changed to happy dreams. That is what the Holy
Tx:18.20  dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are changed to happy  dreams. That is what the Holy Spirit does in your special
Tx:18.22  not the dream take hold to close your eyes. It is not strange that  dreams can make a world that is unreal. The wish to make it is
Tx:18.22  has been removed because its purpose has been changed from one of  dreams to one of truth. You are not sure of this because you think it
Tx:18.22  may be this that is the dream. You are so used to choosing between  dreams you do not see that you have made, at last, the choice between
Tx:18.23  the Holy Spirit has gently laid the real world—the world of happy  dreams from which awaking is so easy and so natural. For as your
Tx:18.23  is so easy and so natural. For as your sleeping and your waking  dreams represent the same wishes in your mind, so do the real world
Tx:18.24  truth to illusion, reality to fantasy, have walked the way of  dreams. For you have gone from waking to sleeping and on and on to a
Tx:18.24  and on and on to a yet deeper sleep. Each dream has led to other  dreams, and every fantasy which seemed to bring a light into the

Tx:20.76  means by which the Holy Spirit translates your nightmares into happy  dreams; your wild hallucinations that show you all the fearful
Tx:21.72  dream of power and to act out their dream. How would an army act in  dreams? Any way at all. It could be seen attacking anyone with
Tx:21.72  Any way at all. It could be seen attacking anyone with anything.  Dreams have no reason in them. A flower turns into a poisoned spear,
Tx:22.18  and not imagined, illusions must give way to truth and not to other  dreams that are but equally unreal. This is no difference.
Tx:22.47 See how the means and the material of evil  dreams are nothing. In truth you stand together with nothing in
Tx:23.34  to function many times before. In truth it does not function, yet in  dreams, where only shadows play the major roles, it seems most
Tx:24.32  from their dream of death. Yet they hear nothing. They are lost in  dreams of specialness. They hate the call that would awaken them, and
Tx:24.41  the escape from pain—in which you suffer not your condemnation. In  dreams, effect and cause are interchanged, for here the maker of the
Tx:24.49  haunt you in the darkness of the night. He is your savior from the  dreams of fear. He is the healing of your sense of sacrifice and fear
Tx:25.34  nothingness. And all their “evil” thoughts and “sinful” hopes, their  dreams of guilt and merciless revenge, and every wish to hurt and
Tx:26.36  to where he really is? For this is fact and does not change whatever  dreams he has. Yet can he still imagine he is elsewhere and in
Tx:27.68  him, and what he sees is separate from his mind. He cannot doubt his  dreams' reality because he does not see the part he plays in making
Tx:27.70  the other possibility of cause if you be not the dreamer of your  dreams. And this is what you choose if you deny the cause of
Tx:27.70  in time. The choice is yours to make between a sleeping death and  dreams of evil or a happy wakening and joy of life. What could you
Tx:27.70  between but life or death, waking or sleeping, peace or war, your  dreams or your reality? Yet if the choice is really given you, then
Tx:27.71  is split between a tiny you and an enormous world, with different  dreams about the truth in you. The gap between reality and dreams
Tx:27.71  different dreams about the truth in you. The gap between reality and  dreams lies not between the dreaming of the world and what you dream
Tx:27.72  world alike. Here is the cause of suffering, the space between your  dreams and your reality. The little gap you do not even see, the
Tx:27.73 You are the dreamer of the world of  dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more fearful
Tx:27.74 Rest in the Holy Spirit and allow His gentle  dreams to take the place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear
Tx:27.74  you dreamed in terror and in fear of death. He brings forgiving  dreams in which the choice is not who is the murderer and who shall
Tx:27.74  is not who is the murderer and who shall be the victim. In the  dreams He brings, there is no murder and there is no death. The dream

Tx:28.19  shows you who the dreamer is. It teaches you there is a choice of  dreams while you are still asleep, depending on the purpose of your
Tx:28.19  asleep, depending on the purpose of your dreaming. Do you wish for  dreams of healing or for dreams of death? A dream is like a memory in
Tx:28.19  purpose of your dreaming. Do you wish for dreams of healing or for  dreams of death? A dream is like a memory in that it pictures what
Tx:28.19  storehouse with an open door holds all your shreds of memories and  dreams. Yet if you are the dreamer, you perceive this much at least—
Tx:28.20 In  dreams of murder and attack are you the victim in a dying body slain.
Tx:28.20  attack are you the victim in a dying body slain. But in forgiving  dreams is no one asked to be the victim and the sufferer. These are
Tx:28.20  no one asked to be the victim and the sufferer. These are the happy  dreams the miracle exchanges for your own. It does not ask you make
Tx:28.22  a figure in the dream. He gives himself the consequences which he  dreams he gave his brother. And it is but this the dream has put
Tx:28.25  learn and shows you its effects are what you want. In His forgiving  dreams are the effects of yours undone and hated enemies perceived as
Tx:28.31  of dreaming is the end of fear, and love was never in the world of  dreams. The gap is little. Yet it holds the seeds of pestilence and
Tx:28.34 Count, then, the silver miracles and golden  dreams of happiness as all the treasures you would keep within the
Tx:28.37  instead on you. Thus have they no effects. And you are free of  dreams of pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, you will
Tx:28.37  can be sure of just one thing—that you are evil, for you share in  dreams of fear.
Tx:28.38  finding certainty right here and now. Refuse to be a part of fearful  dreams whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in them.
Tx:28.38  you effects. You stand apart from them but not apart from him who  dreams them. Thus you separate the dreamer from the dream and join
Tx:28.39  as a mind which brother is to you. He is not brother made by what he  dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the dream, your brother. It is his
Tx:28.39  him. Your mind and his are joined in brotherhood. His body and his  dreams but seem to make a little gap, where yours have joined with
Tx:28.40 And yet, between your minds there is no gap. To join his  dreams is thus to meet him not because his dreams would separate from
Tx:28.40  is no gap. To join his dreams is thus to meet him not because his  dreams would separate from you. Therefore, release him, merely by
Tx:28.40  release him, merely by your claim on brotherhood and not on  dreams of fear. Let him acknowledge who he is by not supporting his
Tx:28.40  will not be released, and you are kept in bondage to his dream. And  dreams of fear will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by illusions
Tx:28.41  figure in his dream instead of dreamer of your own. Identity in  dreams is meaningless because the dreamer and the dream are one. Who
Tx:28.42  seems different because what is the same appears to be unlike. His  dreams are yours because you let them be. But if you took your own
Tx:28.42  your own away would he be free of them and of his own as well. Your  dreams are witnesses to his, and his attest the truth of yours. Yet
Tx:28.42  the truth of yours. Yet if you see there is no truth in yours, his  dreams will [disappear before his eyes], and he will understand what
Tx:28.46 Join not your brother's  dreams but join with him, and where you join His Son, the Father is.
Tx:28.47  off the self from good and keeping evil in. God is the alternate to  dreams of fear. Who shares in them can never share in Him. But who
Tx:28.48 It is the sharing of the evil  dreams of hate and malice, bitterness and death, of sin and
Tx:28.48  because it is the only one you [want] to have. You share no evil  dreams if you forgive the dreamer and perceive that he is not the
Tx:28.52  not depend on this. There is no gap which separates the truth from  dreams and from illusions. Truth has left no room for them in any
Tx:29.20  your savior not because he thinks he is a body. For beyond his  dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a savior first, before
Tx:29.22  Yet you can let yourself be wakened. You can overlook your brother's  dreams. So perfectly can you forgive him his illusions, he becomes
Tx:29.22  can you forgive him his illusions, he becomes your savior from your  dreams. And as you see him shining in the space of light where God
Tx:29.24  holy are you, that the Son of God can be your savior in the midst of  dreams of desolation and disaster. See how eagerly he comes and steps
Tx:29.25 Do you believe that truth can be but some illusions? They are  dreams because they are not true. Their equal lack of truth becomes
Tx:29.25  the basis for the miracle, which means that you have understood that  dreams are dreams and that escape depends not on the dream, but only
Tx:29.25  the miracle, which means that you have understood that dreams are  dreams and that escape depends not on the dream, but only on awaking.
Tx:29.25  depends not on the dream, but only on awaking. Could it be some  dreams are kept and others wakened from? The choice is not between
Tx:29.25  are kept and others wakened from? The choice is not between which  dreams to keep, but only if you want to live in dreams or to awaken
Tx:29.25  is not between which dreams to keep, but only if you want to live in  dreams or to awaken from them. Thus it is the miracle does not select
Tx:29.25  or to awaken from them. Thus it is the miracle does not select some  dreams to leave untouched by its beneficence. You cannot dream some
Tx:29.25  dreams to leave untouched by its beneficence. You cannot dream some  dreams and wake from some, for you are either sleeping or awake. And
Tx:29.26 The  dreams you think you like would hold you back as much as those in
Tx:29.26  But never is it absent from the dream, for fear is the material of  dreams from which they all are made. Their form can change, but they
Tx:29.28  And does not this become the “reason” your attack is justified? The  dreams you think you like are those in which the functions you have
Tx:29.28  wanted. It is the idea that they exist from which the fears arise.  Dreams are not wanted more or less. They are desired or not. And each
Tx:29.29 How happy would your  dreams become if you were not the one who gave the “proper” role to
Tx:29.29  your idea of him, and there is no betrayal but of this. The core of  dreams the Holy Spirit gives is never one of fear. The coverings may
Tx:29.29  you a chance to help if this becomes the function of the dream. And  dreams of sadness thus are turned to joy.
Tx:29.30  of the dream as He perceives its function, Who can utilize all  dreams as means to serve the function given Him. Because He loves the
Tx:29.34  that surrounds you dwells in him, and from this quiet come the happy  dreams in which your hands are joined in innocence. These are not
Tx:29.34  hands are joined in innocence. These are not hands that grasp in  dreams of pain. They hold no sword, for they have left their hold on
Tx:29.36  A dream is given you in which you have forgiven him for all his  dreams of death—a dream of hope you share with him instead of
Tx:29.36  a dream of hope you share with him instead of dreaming evil separate  dreams of hate. Why does it seem so hard to share this dream? Because
Tx:29.37  from use by Him Who sees a different function for a dream. When  dreams are shared, they lose the function of attack and separation,
Tx:29.37  was for this that every dream was made. Yet nothing in the world of  dreams remains without the hope of change and betterment, for here is
Tx:29.37  that this is so and seek not the eternal in this world. Forgiving  dreams are means to step aside from dreaming of a world outside
Tx:29.37  dreaming of a world outside yourself. And leading finally beyond all  dreams unto the peace of everlasting life.
Tx:29.48  the future will be like the past and but a series of depressing  dreams in which all idols fail you one by one, and you see death and
Tx:29.49  is within by splitting what you are between the two. You choose your  dreams, for they are what you wish, perceived as if it had been given
Tx:29.50 Yet where are  dreams but in a mind asleep? And can a dream succeed in making real
Tx:29.62  has condemned. Judge not, because you make yourself a part of evil  dreams where idols are your “true” identity and your salvation from
Tx:29.65 Nightmares are childish  dreams. The toys have turned against the child who thought he made
Tx:29.67  all is joy because that is the purpose which it has. Only forgiving  dreams can enter here, for time is almost over. And the forms which
Tx:29.68 Forgiving  dreams have little need to last. They are not made to separate the
Tx:29.68  to prove the dream is being dreamed by someone else. And in these  dreams a melody is heard which everyone remembers, though he has not
Tx:29.68  song again, he knows he never heard it not. And where is time, when  dreams of judgment have been put away?
Tx:29.70 Forgiving  dreams remind you that you live in safety and have not attacked
Tx:29.70  not attacked yourself. So do your childish terrors melt away and  dreams become a sign that you have made a new beginning, not another
Tx:29.70  not another try to worship idols and to keep attack. Forgiving  dreams are kind to everyone who figures in the dream. And so they
Tx:29.70  in the dream. And so they bring the dreamer full release from  dreams of fear. He does not fear his judgment, for he has judged no
Tx:30.1  time it is attempted. And together will these steps lead you from  dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams and out of pain and fear. They
Tx:30.1  will these steps lead you from dreams of judgment to forgiving  dreams and out of pain and fear. They are not new to you, but they
Tx:30.47  unaffected by the turmoil and the terror of the world, the  dreams of birth and death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms
Tx:30.53  equally forgotten in attack. God's Son needs no defense against his  dreams. His idols do not threaten him at all. His one mistake is that
Tx:30.55  do not want. And you are asked to let yourself be free of all the  dreams of what you never were and seek no more to substitute the
Tx:30.56  be the substitute for fear. Such is the only rule for happy  dreams. The gap is emptied of the toys of fear, and then its
Tx:30.56  gap is emptied of the toys of fear, and then its unreality is plain.  Dreams are for nothing. And the Son of God can have no need of them.
Tx:30.70  will be made complete. Here is the real world given in exchange for  dreams of terror. For it is on this forgiveness rests and is but
Tx:30.72  the only change that lets the real world rise to take the place of  dreams of terror. Fear cannot arise unless attack is justified, and
Tx:30.87  must be forever unintelligible. This is not communication. Your dark  dreams are but the senseless, isolated scripts you write in sleep.
Tx:30.87  senseless, isolated scripts you write in sleep. Look not to separate  dreams for meaning. Only dreams of pardon can be shared. They mean
Tx:30.87  you write in sleep. Look not to separate dreams for meaning. Only  dreams of pardon can be shared. They mean the same to both of you.
Tx:30.91  is nothing more than this—a prayer the miracle touch not some  dreams but keep their unreality obscure and give to them reality
Tx:30.92  For you have asked it be withheld from power to heal all  dreams. There is no miracle you cannot have when you desire healing.
Tx:30.93  perfect. Is it this that you would look upon? Then let there be no  dreams about him which you would prefer to seeing this. And you will

W1:140.3 The happy  dreams the Holy Spirit brings are different from the dreaming of the
W1:140.3  dreaming of the world, where one can merely dream he is awake. The  dreams forgiveness lets the mind perceive do not induce another form
W1:140.3  perceive do not induce another form of sleep, so that the dreamer  dreams another dream. His happy dreams are heralds of the dawn of
W1:140.3  form of sleep, so that the dreamer dreams another dream. His happy  dreams are heralds of the dawn of truth upon the mind. They lead from

W1:153.9 We look past  dreams today and recognize that we need no defense because we are

W1:162.3  the day, at night bringing them with him as he goes to sleep. His  dreams are happy and his rest secure, his safety certain and his body
W1:163.3  taste of dust and ashes in their wake in place of aspirations and of  dreams. But death is counted on. For it will come with certain

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

Tx:22.2 The holiness of your relationship forgives you both, undoing the  effects of what you both believed and saw. And with their going is
Tx:22.28  beyond this willingness if you would be released entirely from all  effects of sin. Would you have partial forgiveness for yourself? Can
Tx:24.36  it is quite obvious. The purpose of attack is in the mind, and its  effects are felt but where it is. Nor is mind limited; so must it be
Tx:25.33  from what you wish. It is your wish that makes it what it is in its  effects on you. Because you chose it as a means to gain these same
Tx:25.33  effects on you. Because you chose it as a means to gain these same  effects, believing them to be the bringers of rejoicing and of joy.

Tx:25.78  vengeance not with justice? Are you willing to be released from all  effects of sin? You cannot answer this until you see all that the
Tx:26.49  where all reality must be. Ideas leave not their source, and their  effects but seem to be apart from them. Ideas are of the mind. What
Tx:26.50  answer lies where the belief in sin must be, for only there can its  effects be utterly undone and without cause. Perception's laws must
Tx:26.53  needs no defense to make it true. Illusions have no witnesses and no  effects. Who looks on them is but deceived. Forgiveness is the only
Tx:26.59  in that you still feel guilty, though without understanding why.  Effects are seen as separate from their source and seem to be beyond
Tx:26.61  separate. The healing of effect without the cause can merely shift  effects to other forms. And this is not release. God's Son could
Tx:26.61  by loss of any kind. A tiny sacrifice is just the same in its  effects as is the whole idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form is
Tx:26.64  is the answer to attack of any kind. So is attack deprived of its  effects, and hate is answered in the name of love. To you to whom it
Tx:26.70  of loss is great between the time its purpose is made yours and its  effects will come to you. In this form is the error still obscured
Tx:26.71  Who can feel desolation except now? A future cause as yet has no  effects. And therefore must it be that if you fear, there is a
Tx:26.72  it as yet, and what will happen has as yet no cause. Who can predict  effects without a cause? And who could fear effects unless he thought
Tx:26.72  cause. Who can predict effects without a cause? And who could fear  effects unless he thought they had been caused and judged disastrous
Tx:26.72  what is here and now. Yet only here and now its cause must be if its  effects already have been judged as fearful. And in overlooking this,
Tx:26.73  purpose the Holy Spirit brought to your relationship has in it all  effects that you will see. They can be looked at now. Why wait till
Tx:26.74  if it does? Its cause is here if it appears at all. Why are not its  effects apparent then? Why in the future? And you seek to be content
Tx:26.76  death? Delay is senseless, and the “reasoning” which would maintain  effects of present cause must be delayed until a future time is
Tx:26.86  senseless—equally without a cause or consequence and cannot have  effects of any kind. Their Presence is obscured by any veil which
Tx:27.6  that nothing which his madness bid him do was ever done or ever had  effects of any kind; that no reproach he laid upon his heart was ever
Tx:27.16  guilt? Sins are beyond forgiveness just because they would entail  effects which cannot be undone and overlooked entirely. In their
Tx:27.19  prove all suffering is but a vain imagining, a foolish wish with no  effects. Your health is a result of your desire to see your brother
Tx:27.36  clear you cannot answer anything at all, for conflict has no limited  effects. Yet if God gave an answer, there must be a way in which your

Tx:27.53  attack will stay with you forever. Your healing will be one of its  effects, as will your brother's. Everywhere you go will you behold
Tx:27.53  your brother's. Everywhere you go will you behold its multiplied  effects. Yet all the witnesses that you behold will be far less than

Tx:27.80  real? The instant that he sees them as they are, they have no more  effects on him because he understands he gave them their effects by
Tx:27.80  no more effects on him because he understands he gave them their  effects by causing them and making them seem real.
Tx:27.81 How willing are you to escape  effects of all the dreams the world has ever had? Is it your wish to
Tx:27.82  become a serious idea and possible of both accomplishment and real  effects. Together, we can laugh them both away and understand that
Tx:27.84  but without their trifling cause. Without the cause do its  effects seem serious and sad indeed. Yet they but follow. And it is
Tx:27.85  laughter does the Holy Spirit perceive the cause and looks not to  effects. How else could He correct your error, who have overlooked
Tx:27.85  together on its foolish cause and laugh with Him a while. You judge  effects, but He has judged their cause. And by His judgment are
Tx:27.85  effects, but He has judged their cause. And by His judgment are  effects removed. Perhaps you come in tears, but hear Him say, “My

Tx:4.12 It is natural enough for the  ego to try to protect itself once you have made it, but it is not
Tx:4.12  for you to want to obey its laws unless you believe in them. The  ego cannot make this choice because of the nature of its origin. You

Tx:4.15  He is well pleased. Do not let your ego dispute this because the  ego cannot know what is as far beyond its reach as you are.
Tx:4.17 The word “inevitable” is fearful to the  ego but joyous to the Soul. God is inevitable, and you cannot avoid
Tx:4.17  and you cannot avoid Him any more than He can avoid you. The  ego is afraid of the Soul's joy because, once you have experienced

Tx:4.26 Your own present state is a good example of how the mind made the  ego. You do have knowledge at times, but when you throw it away, it
Tx:4.27  he regards as a very real part of himself. Man reacts to his  ego much as God does to His Souls: with love, protection, and great
Tx:4.27  as timeless as he is. The question is not how man responds to his  ego, but what he believes he is.
Tx:4.28 Belief is an  ego function, and as long as your origin is open to belief at all,
Tx:4.28  your origin is open to belief at all, you are regarding it from an  ego viewpoint. [That is why the Bible quotes me as saying “Ye believe
Tx:4.28  in me.” Belief does apply to me, because I am the teacher of the  ego.] When teaching is no longer necessary, you will merely know God.

Tx:4.31 The “reality principle” of the ego is not real at all. The  ego is forced to perceive the “reality” of other egos because it

Tx:4.31  is real. “Self esteem” in ego terms means nothing more than that the  ego has deluded itself into accepting its reality and is therefore
Tx:4.31  delusion of the ego's reality is threatened. This produces either  ego deflation or ego inflation, resulting in either withdrawal or

Tx:4.32 The  ego literally lives by comparisons. This means that equality is

Tx:4.45 In its characteristically upside-down way, the  ego has taken the impulses from the superconscious and perceives them
Tx:4.45  and perceives them as if they arise in the unconscious. The  ego judges what is to be accepted, and the impulses from the
Tx:4.45  to it because they clearly point to the nonexistence of the  ego itself. The ego therefore experiences threat and not only censors
Tx:4.45  they clearly point to the nonexistence of the ego itself. The  ego therefore experiences threat and not only censors but also

Tx:4.46  primarily with its own preservation in the face of threat, the  ego perceives them as the same. The threat-value of the lofty is
Tx:4.46  same. The threat-value of the lofty is actually much greater to the  ego because the pull of God Himself can hardly be equated with the
Tx:4.46  the pull of human appetites. By perceiving them as the same, the  ego attempts to save itself from being swept away, as it would surely
Tx:4.47  is why the basic conflict between love and fear is unconscious; the  ego cannot tolerate either and represses both by resorting to
Tx:4.47  false in your unconscious so it can break through the barriers the  ego has set up and shine into your minds. Against our united
Tx:4.47  set up and shine into your minds. Against our united strength, the  ego cannot prevail.
Tx:4.48 It should be apparent to you by now why the  ego regards the Soul as its “enemy.” The ego arose from the
Tx:4.48  to you by now why the ego regards the Soul as its “enemy.” The  ego arose from the separation, and its continued existence depends on

Tx:4.50  for you but for which you must ask. This is not a condition as the  ego sets conditions. It is the glorious condition of what you are.
Tx:4.54 In your own unconscious, deeply repressed by the  ego, is the declaration of your release. God has given you

Tx:4.56  egos, and you do not seek the Face of God. The glass in which the  ego seeks to see its face is dark indeed. How can it maintain the
Tx:4.57  about some Soul that God created and are perceiving images your  ego makes in a darkened glass. Think honestly what you have thought
Tx:4.58  is one with God's. Denying this and thinking otherwise has held your  ego together but has literally split your mind. As a loving brother,
Tx:4.60  anxious, know that all anxiety comes from the capriciousness of the  ego and need not be. You can be as vigilant against the ego's

Tx:4.64 Your mind and mine can unite in shining your  ego away and releasing the strength of God into everything you think

Tx:4.70  must be insane. Yet this demented state is essential to the  ego, which judges only in terms of threat or non-threat to itself. In
Tx:4.70  the idea of God is at least logical, since this idea does dispel the  ego. Fear of dissolution from the Higher Source, then, makes some
Tx:4.70  makes some sense in ego-terms. But fear of the body, with which the  ego identifies so closely, is more blatantly senseless.
Tx:4.71  by its own election. It is the only identification with which the  ego feels safe, because the body's vulnerability is its own best
Tx:4.71  best argument that you cannot be of God. This is the belief that the  ego sponsors eagerly. Yet the ego hates the body because it does not
Tx:4.71  be of God. This is the belief that the ego sponsors eagerly. Yet the  ego hates the body because it does not accept the idea that the body

Tx:4.72  replies, “Turn to me.” The mind, and not without cause, reminds the  ego that it has itself insisted that it is identified with the body,
Tx:4.72  the body, so there is no point in turning to it for protection. The  ego has no real answer to this because there is none, but it does

Tx:4.74  must come from God. Eternalness is the one function which the  ego has tried to develop but has systematically failed. It may
Tx:4.74  has systematically failed. It may surprise you to learn that had the  ego wished to do so it could have made the eternal because, as a
Tx:4.74  decision to do this, rather than the ability to do it, is what the  ego cannot tolerate. That is because the decision, from which the

Tx:4.77  suspension, thus giving it the kind of limited immortality which the  ego can tolerate, is among its more recent appeals to the mind. It is

Tx:4.82  lie there. “A little,” however, is a scarcity concept, and this the  ego understands well. “A little,” then, is perceived as the real
Tx:4.83 The essential thing to remember is that the  ego does not recognize the real source of its perceived threat, and
Tx:4.83  of its perceived threat, and if you associate yourself with the  ego, you do not perceive the whole situation as it is. Only your

Tx:4.95  is a separate whole, without the relationships that imply being. The  ego is thus against communication except in so far as it is utilized
Tx:4.95  rather than to abolish it. The communication system of the  ego is based on its own thought system, as is everything else it
Tx:4.95  all forms of perceived demands may be classified or judged by the  ego as coercive communication which must be disrupted, the response

Tx:4.104  of divided will. You may then be tempted to withdraw to allow your  ego to recover and to gain enough strength to be helpful again on a
Tx:4.104  to be helpful again on a basis limited enough not to threaten your  ego but too limited to give you joy. Those with broken bodies are
Tx:4.104  you joy. Those with broken bodies are often looked down on by the  ego because of its belief that nothing but a perfect body is worthy
Tx:5.6  is one of ideas, the whole belief in the false association which the  ego makes between giving and losing is gone.
Tx:5.19  and the separation began at the same time. When man made the  ego, God placed in him the call to joy. This call is so strong that
Tx:5.19  God placed in him the call to joy. This call is so strong that the  ego always dissolves at its sound. That is why you can choose to
Tx:5.35  ego's viewpoint you are undertaking an ego-alien journey with the  ego as guide. This is bound to produce fear.
Tx:5.36 Delay is of the  ego, because time is its concept. Delay is obviously a time idea.
Tx:5.36  We have said before that the Holy Spirit is God's Answer to the  ego. Everything of which the Holy Spirit reminds you is in direct
Tx:5.36  themselves opposed. The Holy Spirit has the task of undoing what the  ego has made. He undoes it in the same realm of discourse in which
Tx:5.36  has made. He undoes it in the same realm of discourse in which the  ego itself operates, or the mind would be unable to understand the
Tx:5.37  of the mind is not understandable to another. So it is with the  ego and the Soul, with time and eternity. Eternity is an idea of God,
Tx:5.37  God, so the Soul understands it perfectly. Time is a belief of the  ego, so the lower mind, which is the ego's domain, accepts it without
Tx:5.37  The literal nature of this statement does not mean anything to the  ego, which interprets it at best to mean “don't worry about the
Tx:5.38 The Holy Spirit is the Mediator between the interpretations of the  ego and the knowledge of the Soul. His ability to deal with symbols
Tx:5.38  speaks. He can thus perform the function of reinterpreting what the  ego makes, not by destruction but by understanding. Understanding is
Tx:5.39  this that the Holy Spirit sees. This vision invariably frightens the  ego because it is so calm. Peace is the ego's greatest enemy because,
Tx:5.39  interpretation of reality, war is the guarantee of its survival. The  ego becomes strong in strife. If you believe there is strife, you
Tx:5.39  of danger has entered your mind. The idea itself is an appeal to the  ego.
Tx:5.40 The Holy Spirit is as vigilant as the  ego to the call of danger, opposing it with His strength, just as the
Tx:5.40  to the call of danger, opposing it with His strength, just as the  ego welcomes it with all its might. The Holy Spirit counters this
Tx:5.41 The  ego is the symbol of separation, just as the Holy Spirit is the

Tx:5.41  this part, it is still much stronger than the ego, even though the  ego does not recognize it. The Holy Spirit recognizes it perfectly,
Tx:5.42  peace. If peace is eternal, you are at home only in eternity. The  ego made the world as it perceives it, but the Holy Spirit, the
Tx:5.42  it perceives it, but the Holy Spirit, the reinterpreter of what the  ego made, sees it only as a teaching device for bringing you home.
Tx:5.47  good was ever created and therefore cannot be protected. What the  ego makes, it keeps to itself, and so it is without strength. Its
Tx:5.48  a little sharper now. Neurotic guilt feelings are a device of the  ego for “atoning” without sharing and for asking pardon without
Tx:5.48  “atoning” without sharing and for asking pardon without change. The  ego never calls for real Atonement and cannot tolerate forgiveness,
Tx:5.50  God and the Sonship is one, you cannot be limited to the “self” the  ego sees. Every loving thought held in any part of the Sonship
Tx:5.50  it is loving. Sharing is God's way of creating and also yours. Your  ego can keep you in exile from the Kingdom, but in the Kingdom itself
Tx:5.51  to receive my messages as I give them without interference by the  ego, so we can clarify an earlier point. We said that you will one
Tx:5.53  to strengthen them. The union of the Sonship is its protection. The  ego cannot prevail against the Kingdom because it is united, and the
Tx:5.53  ego cannot prevail against the Kingdom because it is united, and the  ego fades away and is undone in the presence of the attraction of the
Tx:5.59  personally meaningful if the ego's use of guilt is clarified. The  ego has a purpose, just as the Holy Spirit has. The ego's purpose is
Tx:5.60  guilt and must give rise to joy. This makes it invulnerable to the  ego because its peace is unassailable. It is invulnerable to
Tx:5.60  fear is divisive because it obeys the law of division. If the  ego is the symbol of the separation, it is also the symbol of guilt.
Tx:5.60  attack on God. This is a totally meaningless concept except to the  ego, but do not underestimate the power of the ego's belief in it.
Tx:5.61 The  ego is the part of the mind which believes in division. How can part
Tx:5.61  problem as involving the concept of usurping God's power. The  ego believes that this is what you did because it believes it is you.
Tx:5.61  believes it is you. It follows, then, that if you identify with the  ego, you must perceive yourself as guilty. Whenever you respond to
Tx:5.61  you must perceive yourself as guilty. Whenever you respond to your  ego, you will experience guilt and you will fear punishment. The ego
Tx:5.61  ego, you will experience guilt and you will fear punishment. The  ego is quite literally a fearful thought.
Tx:5.62  idea of attacking God may be to the sane mind, never forget that the  ego is not sane. It represents a delusional system, and it speaks for
Tx:5.63  only your acceptance of it that makes it real. If you enthrone the  ego in it, the fact that you have accepted it or allowed it to enter
Tx:5.64 The  ego does not perceive sin as a lack of love. It perceives sin as a
Tx:5.64  attempt to remedy the situation. And you will succeed. The  ego regards this as doom, but you must learn to regard it as freedom.
Tx:5.65  It might be better to say that it is a form of magical solution. The  ego believes that by punishing itself it will mitigate the punishment
Tx:5.66 The  ego cannot oppose the laws of God any more than you can, but it can
Tx:5.67 The Holy Spirit, like the  ego, is a decision. Together they constitute all the alternatives
Tx:5.67  all the alternatives which the mind can accept and obey. The  ego and the Holy Spirit are the only choices open to you. God created
Tx:5.72  peace. My role is only to unchain your will and make it free. Your  ego cannot accept this freedom and will oppose your free decision at
Tx:5.73  of the same thing simultaneously, or almost simultaneously, for the  ego always speaks first. Alternate interpretations were unnecessary
Tx:5.73  first one was made, and speaking itself was unnecessary before the  ego was made.
Tx:5.74 The  ego speaks in judgment and the Holy Spirit reverses its decisions,
Tx:5.74  on a complete fallacy which they were made to uphold. Nothing the  ego perceives is interpreted correctly. Not only does it cite
Tx:5.74  as a witness for itself. The Bible is a fearful thing to the  ego because of its prejudiced judgment. Perceiving it as fearful, it
Tx:5.75  to see how the ego's interpretations have misled you. A favorite  ego quotation is “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” Another is “Vengeance
Tx:5.77  fathers unto the third and fourth generation,” as interpreted by the  ego, is particularly vicious. It is used, in fact, as an attempt to
Tx:5.77  thought must be undone. Even the word “undone” is fearful to the  ego, which interprets “I am undone” as “I am destroyed.”
Tx:5.78 The  ego will not be destroyed because it is part of your thought, but
Tx:5.78  you from fear. The part of your thought which you have given to the  ego will merely return to the Kingdom, where your whole mind belongs.
Tx:5.78  merely return to the Kingdom, where your whole mind belongs. The  ego is a form of arrest, but arrest is merely delay. It does not
Tx:5.78  delay. It does not involve the concept of punishment, although the  ego welcomes that interpretation. You can delay the completion of the
Tx:6.13  to demonstrate that the most outrageous assault as judged by the  ego did not matter. As the world judges these things, but not as God
Tx:6.23  systems. As such, it [is] the perfect symbol of conflict between the  ego and the Son of God. [It was as much intrapersonal as
Tx:6.27  is to keep the separation going. It is solely a device of the  ego to make you feel different from your brothers and separated from
Tx:6.27  you feel different from your brothers and separated from them. The  ego justifies this on the wholly spurious grounds that it makes you
Tx:6.28 The  ego uses projection only to distort your perception both of yourself
Tx:6.28  that there is another use of projection. Every ability of the  ego has a better counterpart, because its abilities are directed by
Tx:6.28  by the mind which has a better Voice. The Holy Spirit as well as the  ego utilizes projection, but since their goals are opposed, so is the
Tx:6.31  parallels knowledge, you will ultimately meet it and know it. The  ego would prefer to believe that this meeting is impossible, yet it
Tx:6.34  then, is the recognition that the separation never occurred. The  ego cannot prevail against this because it is an explicit statement
Tx:6.34  prevail against this because it is an explicit statement that the  ego never occurred.
Tx:6.35 The  ego can accept the idea that return is necessary because it can so
Tx:6.37  and projection as the Holy Spirit uses it is very simple. The  ego projects to exclude and therefore to deceive. The Holy Spirit
Tx:6.38  only by perceiving Him impartially can you perceive Him at all. The  ego is legion, but the Holy Spirit is One. No darkness abides
Tx:6.39  natural talent. The word “knows” is correct here, even though the  ego does not know and is not concerned with being at all.
Tx:6.40  is never threatened. Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. The  ego never was and never will be part of it, but through the ego you
Tx:6.40  The ego never was and never will be part of it, but through the  ego you can hear and teach and learn what is not true. From this,
Tx:6.43  your salvation lies in teaching the exact opposite of everything the  ego believes. This is how you will learn the truth that will set you
Tx:6.45 Remember that the Holy Spirit is the Answer, not the question. The  ego always speaks first because it is capricious and does not mean
Tx:6.45  He has brought you home and you no longer need His guidance. The  ego does not regard itself as part of you. Herein lies its primary
Tx:6.46  That is why attack within the Kingdom is impossible. You made the  ego without love, and so it does not love you. You could not remain
Tx:6.46  is love, you believe that you are without it. This enables the  ego to regard itself as separate and outside its maker, thus speaking
Tx:6.46  mind that believes you are separate and outside the Mind of God. The  ego, then, raised the first question that was ever asked, but one
Tx:6.47 The  ego has never answered any questions since, although it has raised a
Tx:6.47  it has raised a great many. The most inventive activities of the  ego have never done more than obscure the question, because you have
Tx:6.47  more than obscure the question, because you have the answer and the  ego is afraid of you. You cannot understand the conflict until you
Tx:6.47  the conflict until you fully understand one basic fact that the  ego does not know. The Holy Spirit does not speak first, but He
Tx:6.48 The  ego cannot hear the Holy Spirit, but it does believe that part of the
Tx:6.48  it. Unless you do believe it you will not side with it, and the  ego feels badly in need of allies though not of brothers. Perceiving
Tx:6.48  of brothers. Perceiving something alien to itself in your mind, the  ego turns to the body, not the mind, as its ally, because the body is
Tx:6.49 The  ego and the body conspire against your minds, and because the ego
Tx:6.49 The ego and the body conspire against your minds, and because the  ego realizes that its “enemy” can end them both merely by knowing
Tx:6.49  perception of all if you consider what it really involves. The  ego, which is not real, attempts to persuade the mind, which is real,
Tx:6.50  the one answer of the Holy Spirit to all the questions which the  ego raises. You are a Child of God, a priceless part of His Kingdom,
Tx:6.54  are therefore helpless. This is the kind of “reasoning” which the  ego engages in, but God, Who knows that His creations are perfect,
Tx:6.61 When your body and your  ego and your dreams are gone, you will know that you will last
Tx:6.61  by not willing at all. Like any other impossible solution which the  ego attempts, it will not work.
Tx:6.62  learning device for you. Again as always, He re-interprets what the  ego uses as an argument for separation into a demonstration against
Tx:6.65  into knowledge. [You do not lose what you communicate.] The  ego uses the body for attack, for pleasure, and for pride. The
Tx:6.73  first lesson is the hardest to learn. Still strongly aware of the  ego in himself and responding primarily to the ego in others, he is
Tx:6.73  strongly aware of the ego in himself and responding primarily to the  ego in others, he is being taught to react to both as if what he does
Tx:6.74 Upside-down as always, the  ego perceives the first lesson as insane. In fact this is its only
Tx:6.76  and insanity. Only one is true, and therefore only one is real. The  ego tries to persuade you that it is up to you to decide which voice
Tx:6.83  must remember, however, is that what the Holy Spirit rejects, the  ego accepts. This is because they are in fundamental disagreement
Tx:6.87  against it. We said already that you can be as vigilant against the  ego as for it. This lesson teaches not only that you can be, but that
Tx:6.91  to you. This is why you must be vigilant on God's behalf. The  ego speaks against His creation and therefore does engender doubt.
Tx:7.4 The  ego demands reciprocal rights because it is competitive rather than
Tx:7.13 The term “intrapersonal” is an  ego term, because “personal” implies “of one person” and not of
Tx:7.21  the term “abilities” in the plural, because abilities began with the  ego, which perceived them as potentials for excelling. This is how
Tx:7.21  which perceived them as potentials for excelling. This is how the  ego still perceives them and uses them.
Tx:7.22 The  ego does not want to teach everyone all it has learned, because that
Tx:7.22  not really learn at all. The Holy Spirit teaches you to use what the  ego has made to teach the opposite of what the ego has learned. The
Tx:7.22  you to use what the ego has made to teach the opposite of what the  ego has learned. The kind of learning is as irrelevant as is the
Tx:7.24  of your work with ease when you have learned this course. To the  ego there appears to be no connection, because the ego is
Tx:7.24  course. To the ego there appears to be no connection, because the  ego is discontinuous. Yet the Holy Spirit teaches one lesson and
Tx:7.26  meaning only by experiencing yourself as unreal. This is why the  ego is insane; it teaches that you are not what you are. This is so
Tx:7.26  must therefore be teaching something else as well, even though the  ego does not know what it is.
Tx:7.27 The  ego, then, is always being undone and does suspect your motives. Your
Tx:7.27  your motives. Your mind cannot be unified in allegiance to the  ego, because the mind does not belong to it. Yet what is
Tx:7.27  the mind does not belong to it. Yet what is “treacherous” to the  ego is faithful to peace. The ego's “enemy” is therefore your friend.
Tx:7.27  We said before that the ego's friend is not part of you, since the  ego perceives itself as at war and therefore in need of allies. You
Tx:7.32  is to believe you can do it. This can only be the voice of the  ego.
Tx:7.34  you are remembering the laws of God and forgetting the laws of the  ego. We said before that forgetting is merely a way of remembering
Tx:7.35  ability which opposes an opposite. That is the way in which the  ego tries to use all abilities, since its goal is always to make you
Tx:7.36  their goals can never be reconciled in any way or to any extent. The  ego always seeks to divide and separate. The Holy Spirit always seeks
Tx:7.37  pull or the Will of God is not an ability but a real delusion. The  ego believes that it has this ability and can offer it to you as a
Tx:7.38  being is His. Healing is a way of forgetting the sense of danger the  ego has induced in you by not recognizing its existence in your
Tx:7.40 Only minds communicate. Since the  ego cannot obliterate the impulse to communicate because it is also
Tx:7.40  impulse to communicate because it is also the impulse to create, the  ego can only teach you that the body can both communicate and create
Tx:7.40  communicate and create and therefore does not need the mind. The  ego thus tries to teach you that the body can act like the mind and
Tx:7.41  communicate, but they cannot hurt. The body in the service of the  ego can hurt other bodies, but this cannot occur unless the body has
Tx:7.48  you think that you have changed it as long as you learn through the  ego. This does place you in a position of needing to learn a lesson
Tx:7.49  your mind about his for him, you help him undo the change his  ego thinks it has made in him. As you can hear two voices, so you can
Tx:7.50  created you—in understanding, in appreciation, and in love. The  ego is totally unable to understand this, because it does not
Tx:7.54  equally reciprocal. They make or create, depending on whether the  ego or the Holy Spirit begets or inspires them, but they will return
Tx:7.56 The ingeniousness of the  ego to preserve itself is enormous, but it stems from the power of
Tx:7.56  is enormous, but it stems from the power of the mind, which the  ego denies. This means that the ego attacks what is preserving it,
Tx:7.56  the power of the mind, which the ego denies. This means that the  ego attacks what is preserving it, and this must be a source of
Tx:7.56  it, and this must be a source of extreme anxiety. That is why the  ego never knows what it is doing. It is perfectly logical but clearly
Tx:7.56  what it is doing. It is perfectly logical but clearly insane. The  ego draws upon the one source which is totally inimical to its
Tx:7.57 Remaining logical but still insane, the  ego resolves this completely insane dilemma in a completely insane
Tx:7.57  with it by guaranteeing that you will not know your own safety. The  ego cannot afford to know anything. Knowledge is total, and the ego
Tx:7.57  The ego cannot afford to know anything. Knowledge is total, and the  ego does not believe in totality. This unbelief is its origin and,
Tx:7.57  not believe in totality. This unbelief is its origin and, while the  ego does not love you, it is faithful to its own antecedents,
Tx:7.58 Mind always reproduces as it was produced. Produced by fear, the  ego reproduces fear. This is its allegiance, and this allegiance
Tx:7.58  to love, because you are love. Love is your power, which the  ego must deny. It must also deny everything which this power gives
Tx:7.58  because it gives you everything. No one who has everything wants the  ego. Its own maker, then, does not want it. Rejection is therefore
Tx:7.58  does not want it. Rejection is therefore the only decision which the  ego could possibly encounter, if the mind which made it knew itself.
Tx:7.59 The  ego therefore opposes all appreciation, all recognition, all sane
Tx:7.62  as if you are attacking Him. We have repeatedly emphasized that the  ego does believe it can attack God and tries to persuade you that you
Tx:7.62  persuade you that you have done this. If the mind cannot attack, the  ego proceeds perfectly logically to the position that you cannot be
Tx:7.62  are, it can see itself as it wants to be. Aware of its weakness, the  ego wants your allegiance, but not as you really are. The ego
Tx:7.62  the ego wants your allegiance, but not as you really are. The  ego therefore wants to engage your mind in its own delusional system,
Tx:7.63 The  ego wants no part of truth, because the truth is that the ego is not
Tx:7.63 The ego wants no part of truth, because the truth is that the  ego is not true. If truth is total, the untrue cannot exist.
Tx:7.64  that you believe what you can understand is up to you to decide. The  ego believes this totally, being fully committed to it. It is not
Tx:7.64  this totally, being fully committed to it. It is not true. The  ego therefore is totally committed to untruth, perceiving in total
Tx:7.66  and attack them for their unworthiness. That is all the world of the  ego is—nothing. It has no meaning. It does not exist. Do not try to
Tx:7.79  is responsible for itself and being without allegiance to God, the  ego is incapable of trust. Projecting its insane belief that you have
Tx:7.81  giving this only, you will be only this. The gifts you offer to the  ego are always experienced as sacrifices, but the gifts you offer to
Tx:7.82  which unifies the Kingdom and keeps it in the Mind of God. To the  ego, the law is perceived as a way of getting rid of something it
Tx:7.83 Projection, to the Holy Spirit, is the law of extension. To the  ego, it is the law of deprivation. It therefore produces abundance or
Tx:7.84 The  ego always tries to preserve conflict. It is very ingenious in
Tx:7.84  so intolerable that you will insist on giving it up. Therefore, the  ego tries to persuade you that it can free you of conflict, lest you
Tx:7.84  to persuade you that it can free you of conflict, lest you give the  ego up and free yourself. The ego, using its own warped version of
Tx:7.84  you of conflict, lest you give the ego up and free yourself. The  ego, using its own warped version of the laws of God, utilizes the
Tx:7.86 That is why those who project from the  ego are vigilant for their own safety. They are afraid that their
Tx:7.87  attack or be attacked. The belief that it can, a fallacy which the  ego always makes, underlies its whole use of projection. It does not
Tx:7.87  you are. Yet its existence is dependent on your mind, because the  ego is your belief. The ego is therefore a confusion in
Tx:7.87  is dependent on your mind, because the ego is your belief. The  ego is therefore a confusion in identification which never had a
Tx:7.88 Do not be afraid of the  ego. It does depend on your mind and, as you made it by believing in
Tx:7.89  because truth is beyond belief, and His perception is true. The  ego can be completely forgotten at any time, because it was always a
Tx:7.89  he has judged to be unbelievable. The more you learn about the  ego, the more you realize that it cannot be believed. The incredible
Tx:7.90 The whole purpose of this course is to teach you that the  ego is unbelievable and will forever be unbelievable. You who made
Tx:7.90  is unbelievable and will forever be unbelievable. You who made the  ego by believing the unbelievable cannot make this judgment alone. By
Tx:7.91  Sonship, or you withhold yourself from God. Selfishness is of the  ego, but self-fullness is of the Soul, because that is how God
Tx:7.91  it. The Holy Spirit is the part of the mind that lies between the  ego and the Soul, mediating between them always in favor of the Soul.
Tx:7.91  the Soul, mediating between them always in favor of the Soul. To the  ego, this is partiality, and it therefore responds as if it were the
Tx:7.92  rendering its creations equally whole and equal in perfection. The  ego cannot prevail against a totality which includes God, and any
Tx:7.101  reason is equally obvious. What is joyful to you is painful to the  ego and, as long as you are in doubt about what you are, you will be
Tx:7.101  of sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be giving up the  ego. But you will be sacrificing nothing. On the contrary, you will
Tx:7.102  it is His. The ego's wishes do not mean anything, because the  ego wishes for the impossible. You can wish for the impossible, but
Tx:7.103  to be fearful? The Holy Spirit never asks for sacrifice, but the  ego always does. When you are confused about this very clear
Tx:7.105  relinquishment of your false decision-making prerogative, which the  ego guards so jealously, is not accomplished by your wish. It was

Tx:8.2  you would hardly be willing to throw it away so readily when the  ego asks for your allegiance. The distraction of the ego seems to

Tx:8.3  they will be removed from your mind for you. Every response to the  ego is a call to war, and war does deprive you of peace. Yet in this
Tx:8.8  that is the purpose of the curriculum, you must learn it of Him. The  ego does not know what it is trying to teach. It is trying to teach
Tx:8.8  It is trying to teach you what you are without knowing it. The  ego is expert only in confusion. It does not understand anything
Tx:8.8  which is quite impossible, you could learn nothing from the  ego because the ego knows nothing.
Tx:8.8  quite impossible, you could learn nothing from the ego because the  ego knows nothing.
Tx:8.9  the teacher to whom a Son of God should turn to find himself? The  ego has never given you a sensible answer to anything. Simply on the
Tx:8.9  should not this alone disqualify it as your future teacher? Yet the  ego has done more harm to your learning than this alone. Learning is
Tx:8.10 The  ego cannot teach you anything as long as your will is free, because
Tx:8.10  will to be imprisoned, because your will is free. That is why the  ego is the denial of free will. It is never God who coerces you
Tx:8.10  accord, because they are one. This is the undoing of everything the  ego tries to teach. It is not, then, only the direction of the

Tx:8.22 To achieve the goal of the curriculum, then, you cannot listen to the  ego. Its purpose is to defeat its own goal. The ego does not know
Tx:8.22  cannot listen to the ego. Its purpose is to defeat its own goal. The  ego does not know this, because it does not know anything. But you
Tx:8.22  this, and you will know it if you are willing to look at what the  ego has made of you. This is your responsibility, because once you
Tx:8.23  and glory are everywhere, and you cannot be excluded from them. The  ego teaches that your strength is in you alone. The Holy Spirit
Tx:8.39 When you unite with me, you are uniting without the  ego, because I have renounced the ego in myself and therefore cannot

Tx:8.39  renounce the ego in yourself. The truth in both of us is beyond the  ego. By willing that, you have gone beyond it toward truth. Our

Tx:8.40  On this journey, you have chosen me as your companion instead of the  ego. Do not try to hold on to both, or you will try to go in
Tx:8.41  the one for which God's Voice speaks in all of us. Never accord the  ego the power to interfere with the journey because it has none,

Tx:8.41  the ego to hold you back. I go before you, because I am beyond the  ego. Reach therefore for my hand, because you want to transcend the
Tx:8.41  ego. Reach therefore for my hand, because you want to transcend the  ego. My will will never be wanting, and if you want to share it you
Tx:8.54  interprets everything you have made in the light of what He is. The  ego separates through the body. The Holy Spirit reaches through it to
Tx:8.61  each other, so that it appears to be ruled by chaos. Guided by the  ego, it is. Guided by the Holy Spirit, it is not. It becomes only a
Tx:8.61  of the Holy Spirit, where devotion to Him replaces devotion to the  ego. In this sense, the body does become a temple to God, because His
Tx:8.69  it ascribes to it. It does not equate it with what it is. To the  ego, the body is to attack with. Equating you with the body, it
Tx:8.71  other, making the concept of both health and sickness possible. The  ego makes a fundamental confusion between means and ends, as it
Tx:8.71  means and ends, as it always does. Regarding the body as an end, the  ego has no real use for it because it is not an end. You must have
Tx:8.71  have noticed an outstanding characteristic of every end that the  ego has accepted as its own. When you have achieved it, it has not
Tx:8.71  When you have achieved it, it has not satisfied you. This is why the  ego is forced to shift from one end to another without ceasing, so
Tx:8.72  because this is synonymous with the belief in attack as an end. The  ego has a real investment in sickness. If you are sick, how can you
Tx:8.74 A more honest statement would be as follows: Those who want the  ego are predisposed to defend it. Therefore, their choice of
Tx:8.74  their choice of witnesses should be suspect from the beginning. The  ego does not call upon witnesses who would disagree with its case,
Tx:8.74  Holy Spirit and one which He is perfectly equipped to fulfill. The  ego as a judge gives anything but an impartial judgment. When the ego
Tx:8.74  ego as a judge gives anything but an impartial judgment. When the  ego calls on a witness, it has already made the witness an ally.
Tx:8.75  the body has no function of itself, because it is not an end. The  ego, however, establishes it as an end because as such it will lose
Tx:8.75  will lose its true function. This is the purpose of everything the  ego does. Its sole aim is to lose sight of the function of
Tx:8.76  and your extreme need to depend on external guidance. The  ego uses this as its best argument for your need for its guidance. It
Tx:8.77  asking the guidance of a teacher who does not know the answer. The  ego is incapable of knowing how you feel. When we said that the ego
Tx:8.77  The ego is incapable of knowing how you feel. When we said that the  ego does not know anything, we said the one thing about the ego that
Tx:8.77  that the ego does not know anything, we said the one thing about the  ego that is wholly true. But there is a corollary; if knowledge is
Tx:8.77  wholly true. But there is a corollary; if knowledge is being and the  ego has no knowledge, then the ego has no being.
Tx:8.77  if knowledge is being and the ego has no knowledge, then the  ego has no being.
Tx:8.78  you will not to tolerate anything except truth. When you lay the  ego aside, it will be gone. The Holy Spirit's Voice is as loud as
Tx:8.80  everything, because He knows what the answer to everything is. The  ego does not know what a real question is, although it asks an

Tx:8.80  and thus establish your ability to evaluate its questions. When the  ego tempts you to sickness, do not ask the Holy Spirit to heal the
Tx:8.85 The  ego, which always weakens the will, wants to separate the body from
Tx:8.85  the body from the mind. This is an attempt to destroy it, yet the  ego actually believes that it is protecting it. This is because the
Tx:8.85  ego actually believes that it is protecting it. This is because the  ego believes that mind is dangerous and that to make mindless is to
Tx:8.85  since it would mean to make nothing out of what God created. The  ego despises weakness, even though it makes every effort to induce
Tx:8.85  weakness, even though it makes every effort to induce it. The  ego wants only what it hates. To the ego this is perfectly sensible.

Tx:8.90  afraid, but yours. Your will is not the ego's, and that is why the  ego is against you. What seems to be the fear of God is really only
Tx:8.100  and so you are asking for nothing. Any desire which stems from the  ego is a desire for nothing and to ask for it is not a request. It is
Tx:8.100  is not concerned with form at all, being aware only of meaning. The  ego cannot ask the Holy Spirit for anything because there is complete
Tx:9.1 The alertness of the  ego to the errors which other egos make is not the kind of vigilance
Tx:9.1  to them. To the Holy Spirit, it makes no sense at all. To the  ego, it is kind and right and good to point out errors and “correct”
Tx:9.1  point out errors and “correct” them. This makes perfect sense to the  ego, which is totally unaware of what errors are and what correction
Tx:9.2 Errors are of the  ego, and correction of errors of any kind lies solely in the
Tx:9.2  of errors of any kind lies solely in the relinquishment of the  ego. When you correct a brother, you are telling him that he is
Tx:9.2  sense at the time, and it is certain that if he is speaking from the  ego, he will be making no sense. But your task is still to tell him
Tx:9.2  at another level. He is still right, because he is a Son of God. His  ego is always wrong, no matter what it says or does.
Tx:9.3 If you point out the errors of your brother's  ego, you must be seeing through yours, because the Holy Spirit does
Tx:9.3  This must be true if there is no communication at all between the  ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit
Tx:9.3  is no communication at all between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The  ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not attempt to
Tx:9.4  not hearing Him. If you do not hear Him, you are listening to your  ego and making as little sense as the brother whose errors you
Tx:9.7  by you is possible, and this can only be the arrogance of the  ego. Correction is of God, Who does not know of arrogance. The Holy
Tx:9.11  Him, you cannot look on your abilities through the eyes of the  ego, or you will judge them as it does. All their harmfulness lies in
Tx:9.12 The  ego, too, has a plan of forgiveness because you are asking for one,
Tx:9.12  will merely place yourself in an impossible situation to which the  ego always leads you. The ego's plan is to have you see error clearly
Tx:9.13 This is where the  ego is forced to appeal to “mysteries” and begins to insist that you
Tx:9.14  all its effects everywhere and in all respects, He teaches that the  ego does not exist and proves it. Follow His teaching in forgiveness
Tx:9.15  your function is. The confusion of functions is so typical of the  ego that you should be quite familiar with it by now. The ego
Tx:9.15  of the ego that you should be quite familiar with it by now. The  ego believes that all functions belong to it, even though it has no
Tx:9.15  of grandiosity and confusion which makes it likely that the  ego will attack anyone and anything for no reason at all. This is
Tx:9.15  anyone and anything for no reason at all. This is exactly what the  ego does. It is totally unpredictable in its responses, because it
Tx:9.16  of how you can account for the reactions, whether they place the  ego in a very sound position as the guide for yours. It seems absurd
Tx:9.17  know it, and you have judged it by the same standard as I have. The  ego literally lives on borrowed time, and its days are numbered. Do
Tx:9.18  fantasies, you will not find it. The symbols of fantasy are of the  ego, and of these you will find many. But do not look for meaning in
Tx:9.20  because it is undertaken by unhealed healers and is therefore of the  ego. Let us consider the unhealed healer more carefully now. By
Tx:9.21 We have repeatedly stated that beliefs of the  ego cannot be shared, and this is why they are unreal. How, then, can
Tx:9.22  His retribution. What they have done is merely to identify with the  ego and, by perceiving clearly what it does, condemn themselves
Tx:9.24  fear is to reduce the importance of the fearer, how can this build  ego strength? These perfectly self-evident inconsistencies account
Tx:9.25 Because his  ego is involved, it always attempts to gain some support from the
Tx:9.26  an impasse, the characteristic “impossible situation” to which the  ego always leads. It can be helpful to point out to a patient where
Tx:9.39  and so obvious that it is often overlooked. That is because the  ego is afraid of the obvious since obviousness is the essential
Tx:9.40  truly. And this evaluation must be in your mind because He is. The  ego is also in your mind, because you have accepted it there. Its
Tx:9.40  however, is the exact opposite of the Holy Spirit's, because the  ego does not love you. It is unaware of what you are and wholly
Tx:9.40  it perceives, because its own perceptions are so shifting. The  ego is therefore capable of suspiciousness at best and viciousness at
Tx:9.41  by anything you do, because He never forgets what you are. The  ego is deceived by everything you do, even when you respond to the
Tx:9.41  the Holy Spirit, because at such times its confusion increases. The  ego is, therefore, particularly likely to attack you when you react
Tx:9.42 The  ego will begin to attack your motives as soon as they become clearly
Tx:9.42  must therefore regard yourself as inadequate. Would you look to the  ego to help you escape from a sense of inadequacy it has produced and
Tx:9.44 We said before that the  ego does not know what a real question is. Lack of knowledge of any
Tx:9.47 Remember this when the  ego speaks, and you will not hear it. The truth about you is so lofty
Tx:9.48  you. Whenever you become aware of it, however dimly, you abandon the  ego automatically, because in the presence of the grandeur of God the
Tx:9.48  in the presence of the grandeur of God the meaninglessness of the  ego becomes perfectly apparent. Though it does not understand this,
Tx:9.48  becomes perfectly apparent. Though it does not understand this, the  ego believes that its “enemy” has struck and attempts to offer gifts
Tx:9.48  [is the only offering it can make. The grandiosity] of the  ego is its alternative to the grandeur of God. Which will you choose?
Tx:9.49  delusional attempt to outdo but not to undo. We said before that the  ego vacillates between suspiciousness and viciousness. It remains
Tx:9.50 The  ego does not know the difference between grandeur and grandiosity,
Tx:9.50  impulses and ego-alien beliefs of its own. We once said that the  ego is aware of threat, but does not make distinctions between two
Tx:9.51 The  ego is immobilized in the presence of God's grandeur, because His
Tx:9.51  freedom. Even the faintest hint of your reality literally drives the  ego from your mind because of complete lack of investment in it.
Tx:9.51  of reality will not remain with you unless you do not allow the  ego to attack it. The ego will make every effort to recover and
Tx:9.51  remain with you unless you do not allow the ego to attack it. The  ego will make every effort to recover and mobilize its energies
Tx:9.53 The  ego depends solely on your willingness to tolerate it. If you are
Tx:9.53  your grandeur, you cannot despair, and therefore you cannot want the  ego. Your grandeur is God's answer to the ego because it is true.
Tx:9.53  you cannot want the ego. Your grandeur is God's answer to the  ego because it is true. Littleness and grandeur cannot co-exist, nor
Tx:9.78  image of what its maker thinks he is. And that is exactly what the  ego does perceive in a Son of God; a sick god, self-created,
Tx:10.1 Either God or the  ego is insane. If you will examine the evidence on both sides fairly,
Tx:10.1  fairly, you will realize that this must be true. Neither God nor the  ego proposes a partial thought system. Each is internally consistent,
Tx:10.2  who really believed this question involves conflict? If you made the  ego, how can the ego have made you? The authority problem remains the
Tx:10.2  this question involves conflict? If you made the ego, how can the  ego have made you? The authority problem remains the only source of
Tx:10.2  problem remains the only source of perceived conflict, because the  ego was made out of the wish of God's Son to father Him. The ego,
Tx:10.2  the ego was made out of the wish of God's Son to father Him. The  ego, then, is nothing more than a delusional system in which you made
Tx:10.2  It sounds insane when it is stated with perfect honesty, but the  ego never looks upon what it does with perfect honesty. Yet that is
Tx:10.2  hidden in the dark cornerstone of its thought system. And either the  ego, which you made, is your father, or its whole thought system will
Tx:10.13 The projection of the  ego makes it appear as if God's Will is outside yourself and
Tx:10.20  your mind so that He becomes your only Guest. Whenever you ask the  ego to enter, you lessen His welcome. He will remain, but you have
Tx:10.22 Would you be hostage to the  ego or host to God? You will accept only whom you invite. You are
Tx:10.22  there, although He cannot help you without your invitation, and the  ego is nothing whether you invite it in or not. Real freedom depends
Tx:10.35  Lay it to yourself and you cannot know yourself, for only the  ego blames at all. Self-blame is therefore ego identification and as
Tx:10.35  yourself, for only the ego blames at all. Self-blame is therefore  ego identification and as strong an ego defense as blaming others.
Tx:10.35  at all. Self-blame is therefore ego identification and as strong an  ego defense as blaming others. You cannot enter God's Presence if you
Tx:10.39  for we are merely looking honestly for truth. The “dynamics” of the  ego will be our lesson for a while, for we must look first at this to
Tx:10.41  and the whole separation fallacy lies in the belief that the  ego has the power to do anything. The ego is fearful to you because
Tx:10.41  lies in the belief that the ego has the power to do anything. The  ego is fearful to you because you believe this. Yet the truth is very
Tx:10.43 When we look at the  ego, then, we are not considering dynamics but delusions. We can
Tx:10.43  necessarily expended on nothing. The ego's goal is quite explicitly  ego autonomy. From the beginning, then, its purpose is to be
Tx:10.44  the natural extension of what it is. Everything that stems from the  ego is the natural outcome of its central belief, and the way to undo
Tx:10.45  believe that autonomy is meaningful apart from Him? The belief in  ego autonomy is costing you the knowledge of your dependence on God
Tx:10.45  knowledge of your dependence on God in which your freedom lies. The  ego sees all dependency as threatening and has twisted even your
Tx:10.46 The  ego always attacks on behalf of separation. Believing it has the
Tx:10.46  does nothing else because its goal of autonomy is nothing else. The  ego is totally confused about reality, but it does not lose sight of
Tx:10.47 What you must learn to recognize is that the last thing the  ego wishes you to realize is that you are afraid of it. For if the
Tx:10.47  ego wishes you to realize is that you are afraid of it. For if the  ego gives rise to fear, it is diminishing your independence and
Tx:10.48 The  ego can and does allow you to regard yourself as supercilious,
Tx:10.49  fear, regardless of the form it takes and quite apart from how the  ego wants you to experience it, is therefore the basic ego threat.
Tx:10.49  from how the ego wants you to experience it, is therefore the basic  ego threat. Its dream of autonomy is shaken to its foundation by this
Tx:10.49  the cost of fear if you recognize it. Yet this is the cost, and the  ego cannot minimize it. For if you overlook love, you are overlooking
Tx:10.51  with Him and fulfilling your function as it exists in truth. The  ego believes that to accomplish its goal is happiness. But it is
Tx:10.52 Upheld by fear, this is what the  ego would have you believe. Yet God's Son is not insane and cannot
Tx:10.53 The  ego analyzes; the Holy Spirit accepts. The appreciation of wholeness
Tx:10.53  up is clearly the characteristically contradictory approach of the  ego to everything. Never forget that the ego believes that power,
Tx:10.53  approach of the ego to everything. Never forget that the  ego believes that power, understanding, and truth lie in separation,
Tx:10.53  and obsessed with the conviction that separation is salvation, the  ego attacks everything it perceives by breaking it up into small and
Tx:10.53  parts without meaningful relationships and thus without meaning. The  ego will always substitute chaos for meaning, for if separation is
Tx:10.54  and would have to be, the exact opposite of the Holy Spirit's. The  ego focuses on error and overlooks truth. It makes real every mistake
Tx:10.54  error clearly in mind and protecting what it has made real, the  ego proceeds to the next step in its thought system—that error is
Tx:10.55 The  ego makes no attempt to understand this, and it is clearly not
Tx:10.55  to understand this, and it is clearly not understandable, but the  ego does make every attempt to demonstrate it, and this it does
Tx:10.55  it, and this it does constantly. Analyzing to attack meaning, the  ego does succeed in overlooking it and is left with a series of
Tx:10.56  anything, and those who are convinced by it must be deluded. Can the  ego teach truly when it overlooks truth? Can it perceive what it has
Tx:10.56  do attest to its denial but hardly to what it has denied! The  ego looks straight at the Father and does not see Him, for it has
Tx:10.57  that a lie is true. What you see of His Son through the eyes of the  ego is a demonstration that His Son does not exist, yet where the Son
Tx:10.58 Every brother you meet becomes a witness for Christ or for the  ego, depending on what you perceive in him. Everyone convinces you of
Tx:10.59  see it. The resurrection is the complete triumph of Christ over the  ego, not by attack but by transcendence. For Christ does rise above
Tx:10.59  not by attack but by transcendence. For Christ does rise above the  ego and all its works and ascends to the Father and His Kingdom.
Tx:10.71 The  ego sees some good but never only good. That is why its perceptions
Tx:11.9  and face it without disguise as a crucial step in the undoing of the  ego. Consider how well the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the
Tx:11.26  with a brother, for whatever reason, you are believing that the  ego is to be saved and to be saved by attack. If he attacks, you are
Tx:11.27  both. He is asking for salvation, as you are. Poverty is of the  ego and never of God. No “outrageous” request can be made of one who
Tx:11.29 To identify with the  ego is to attack yourself and make yourself poor. That is why
Tx:11.29  and make yourself poor. That is why everyone who identifies with the  ego feels deprived. What he experiences then is depression or anger,
Tx:11.29  fully aware of anxiety, he does not perceive its source as his own  ego identification, and he always tries to handle it by making some
Tx:11.30  as the outside world is merely your attempt to maintain your  ego identification, for everyone believes that identification is
Tx:11.36 The  ego is certain that love is dangerous, and this is always its central
Tx:11.36  puts it this way; on the contrary, everyone who believes that the  ego is salvation is intensely engaged in the search for love. Yet the
Tx:11.36  is salvation is intensely engaged in the search for love. Yet the  ego, though encouraging the search very actively, makes one proviso—
Tx:11.36  up simply as, “Seek and do not find.” This is the one promise the  ego holds out to you and the one promise it will keep. For the ego
Tx:11.36  the ego holds out to you and the one promise it will keep. For the  ego pursues its goal with fanatic insistence, and its reality
Tx:11.37 The search which the  ego undertakes is therefore bound to be defeated. And since it also
Tx:11.37  you to a journey which must end in perceived self-defeat. For the  ego cannot love, and in its frantic search for love, it is seeking
Tx:11.37  what it is afraid to find. The search is inevitable because the  ego is part of your mind, and because of its source, the ego is not
Tx:11.37  because the ego is part of your mind, and because of its source, the  ego is not wholly split off, or it could not be believed at all. For
Tx:11.37  do so when you realize exactly what the journey is on which the  ego sets you.
Tx:11.38  to find what would utterly defeat him. Being unable to love, the  ego would be totally inadequate in love's presence, for it could not
Tx:11.38  that it had not taught you the response pattern you need. The  ego will therefore distort love and teach you that love calls forth
Tx:11.38  love and teach you that love calls forth the responses which the  ego can teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you will search for
Tx:11.39 Do you realize that the  ego must set you on a journey which cannot but lead to a sense of
Tx:11.53 The  ego is trying to teach you how to gain the whole world and lose your
Tx:11.66  that you see what you seek, for what you seek you will find. The  ego finds what it seeks and only that. It does not find love, for
Tx:11.75 The  ego is not a traitor to God to Whom treachery is impossible, but it
Tx:11.75  as long as you feel guilty, you are listening to the voice of the  ego, which tells you that you have been treacherous to God and
Tx:11.75  death. You will think that death comes from God and not from the  ego because, by confusing yourself with the ego, you believe that you
Tx:11.75  God and not from the ego because, by confusing yourself with the  ego, you believe that you want death. And from what you want, God
Tx:11.90  hold it dear. For the blamelessness of Christ is the proof that the  ego never was and can never be. Without guilt the ego has no life,
Tx:11.90  the proof that the ego never was and can never be. Without guilt the  ego has no life, and God's Son is without guilt. As you look upon
Tx:11.98  is the ego's plan, which it offers instead of dispelling it. The  ego believes in atonement through attack, being fully committed to
Tx:11.98  guilt must also believe it, for how else but by identifying with the  ego could you hold dear what you do not want?
Tx:11.99 The  ego teaches you to attack yourself because you are guilty, and this
Tx:12.1 The ultimate purpose of projection, as the  ego uses it, is always to get rid of guilt. Yet, characteristically,
Tx:12.1  uses it, is always to get rid of guilt. Yet, characteristically, the  ego attempts to get rid of guilt from its viewpoint only, for much as
Tx:12.1  to get rid of guilt from its viewpoint only, for much as the  ego wants to retain guilt, you find it intolerable, since guilt
Tx:12.1  deepest split of all occurs, for if you are to retain guilt as the  ego insists, you cannot be you. Only by persuading you that it is
Tx:12.1  you cannot be you. Only by persuading you that it is you, could the  ego possibly induce you to project guilt and thereby keep it in your
Tx:12.2  why. On the contrary, you associate them with a weird assortment of  ego ideals which the ego claims you have failed. Yet you have no idea
Tx:12.2  you associate them with a weird assortment of ego ideals which the  ego claims you have failed. Yet you have no idea that you are failing
Tx:12.4  behavior is directly attributable to its definition of guilt. To the  ego, the guiltless are guilty. Those who do not attack are its
Tx:12.4  and deepest cornerstone in the ego's foundation, and while the  ego can withstand your raising all else to question, it guards this
Tx:12.4  secret. So it is this secret that we must look upon calmly, for the  ego cannot protect you against truth, and in its presence the ego is
Tx:12.4  the ego cannot protect you against truth, and in its presence the  ego is dispelled.
Tx:12.5  and indiscriminately, but you have not uncovered its source. For the  ego does want to kill you, and if you identify with it, you must
Tx:12.6 We once said that the crucifixion is the symbol of the  ego. When it was confronted with the real guiltlessness of God's Son,
Tx:12.6  reason it gave was that guiltlessness is blasphemous to God. To the  ego the ego is god, and guiltlessness must be interpreted as the
Tx:12.6  it gave was that guiltlessness is blasphemous to God. To the ego the  ego is god, and guiltlessness must be interpreted as the final guilt
Tx:12.8  accepted it for yourself. You have recognized the futility of the  ego and its offerings, but though you do not want the ego, you do not
Tx:12.8  of the ego and its offerings, but though you do not want the  ego, you do not look upon the alternative with gladness. You are
Tx:12.11  cornerstone without fear if you did not believe that, without the  ego, you would find within yourself something you fear even more. You
Tx:12.15  not so dear as what you made. You are more afraid of God than of the  ego, and love cannot enter where it is not welcome. But hatred can,
Tx:12.23  this world is healing, and your function in Heaven is creating. The  ego teaches that your function on earth is destruction and that you
Tx:12.26 The  ego has a very strange notion of time, and it is with this notion
Tx:12.26  it is with this notion that your questioning might well begin. The  ego invests heavily in the past and in the end believes that the past
Tx:12.26  making them continuous without an intervening present. For the  ego uses the present only as a brief transition to the future, in
Tx:12.27 Now has no meaning to the  ego. The present merely reminds it of past hurts, and it reacts to
Tx:12.27  past hurts, and it reacts to the present as if it were the past. The  ego cannot tolerate release from the past, and although the past is
Tx:12.27  release from the past, and although the past is no more, the  ego tries to preserve its image by responding as if it were present.
Tx:12.28  opportunities which you could find for release in the present. The  ego would preserve your nightmares and prevent you from awakening and
Tx:12.29  always meet yourself and the encounter is holy because you are. The  ego teaches that you always encounter your past, and because your
Tx:12.31 The  ego, on the other hand, regards the function of time as one of
Tx:12.31  extending itself in place of eternity, for like the Holy Spirit, the  ego interprets the goal of time as its own. The continuity of past
Tx:12.31  of past and future under its direction is the only purpose the  ego perceives in time, and it closes over the present so that no gap
Tx:12.68  hurt you. Ownership is a dangerous concept if it is left to you. The  ego wants to have things for salvation, for possession is its law.
Tx:12.69 Everything that the  ego tells you that you need will hurt you. For although the ego urges
Tx:12.69  that the ego tells you that you need will hurt you. For although the  ego urges you again and again to get, it leaves you nothing, for what
Tx:12.69  it, it will be wrenched and hurled into the dust. For where the  ego sees salvation, it sees separation, and so you lose whatever you
Tx:13.12  you will not escape the punishment it offers those who obey it. The  ego rewards fidelity to it with pain, for faith in it is pain. And
Tx:13.18 Do not be afraid to look within. The  ego tells you all is black with guilt within you and bids you not to
Tx:13.45  must be reconciled with truth. This is the reconciliation which the  ego would substitute for your reconciliation unto sanity and unto
Tx:13.45  in His Mind for you, and one which He will effect as surely as the  ego will not effect what it attempts.
Tx:13.46 Failure is of the  ego, not of God. From Him you cannot wander, and there is no
Tx:13.47  The Holy Spirit uses logic as easily and as well as does the  ego, except that His conclusions are not insane. They take a
Tx:13.47  a direction exactly opposite, pointing as clearly to Heaven as the  ego points to darkness and to death. We have followed much of the
Tx:13.68  deciding between the crucifixion and the resurrection, between the  ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy
Tx:13.68  and the resurrection, between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The  ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy Spirit the decision for
Tx:14.38  to what you are. The bringing together of truth and illusion, of the  ego to God, is the Holy Spirit's only function. Keep not your making
Tx:14.39 Bringing the  ego to God is but to bring error to truth, where it stands corrected
Tx:14.42  God's reflection in it. Earth can reflect Heaven or hell; God or the  ego. You need but leave the mirror clean and clear of all the images
Tx:14.49  some are reflections of Heaven, while others are motivated by the  ego, which but seems to think. The result is a weaving, changing
Tx:14.50  do this and bring any order into chaos shows you that you are not an  ego and that more than an ego must be in you. For the ego is chaos,
Tx:14.50  into chaos shows you that you are not an ego and that more than an  ego must be in you. For the ego is chaos, and if it were all of you,
Tx:14.50  you are not an ego and that more than an ego must be in you. For the  ego is chaos, and if it were all of you, no order at all would be
Tx:14.50  Yet though the order which you impose upon your minds limits the  ego, it also limits you. To order is to judge and to arrange by
Tx:14.52  but only to the particular perception of his offering by which the  ego judges it.
Tx:14.53 The  ego is incapable of understanding content and is totally unconcerned
Tx:14.53  of understanding content and is totally unconcerned with it. To the  ego, if the form is acceptable, the content must be. Otherwise, it
Tx:14.53  at all. For of yourselves you could not know of it. The study of the  ego is not the study of the mind. In fact, the ego enjoys the study
Tx:14.53  it. The study of the ego is not the study of the mind. In fact, the  ego enjoys the study of itself and thoroughly approves the
Tx:14.54  remains the ego's chosen condition. For no one alone can judge the  ego truly. Yet when two or more join together in searching for truth,
Tx:14.54  Yet when two or more join together in searching for truth, the  ego can no longer defend its lack of content. The fact of union tells
Tx:14.73  return, for you will have invited Him to do so by abandoning the  ego on behalf of Him. Call not upon the ego for anything. It is only
Tx:14.73  to do so by abandoning the ego on behalf of Him. Call not upon the  ego for anything. It is only this that you need do. The Holy Spirit
Tx:15.2  seems to bring with it is due but to your identification with the  ego, which uses time to support its belief in destruction. The ego,
Tx:15.2  the ego, which uses time to support its belief in destruction. The  ego, like the Holy Spirit, uses time to convince you of the
Tx:15.2  you of the inevitability of the goal and end of teaching. To the  ego the goal is death, which is its end. But to the Holy Spirit the
Tx:15.3 The  ego is an ally of time, but not a friend. For it is as mistrustful of
Tx:15.3  as it is of life, and what it wants for you it cannot tolerate. The  ego wants you dead, but not itself. The outcome of its strange
Tx:15.3  The belief in hell is inescapable to those who identify with the  ego. Their nightmares and their fears are all associated with it.
Tx:15.4 The  ego teaches that hell is in the future, for this is what all its
Tx:15.4  all its teaching is directed to. Hell is its goal, for although the  ego aims at death and dissolution as an end, it does not believe it.
Tx:15.4  ego's thought system before, but never so clearly as here. For the  ego must seem to keep fear from you to keep your allegiance. Yet it
Tx:15.5 Again the  ego tries and all too frequently succeeds in doing both by using
Tx:15.5  contradictory aims together so that they seem to be reconciled. The  ego teaches thus: Death is the end as far as hope of Heaven goes. Yet
Tx:15.6 The  ego teaches that Heaven is here and now because the future is hell.
Tx:15.6  is here and bids him leap from hell into oblivion. The only time the  ego allows anyone to look upon with some amount of equanimity is the
Tx:15.7  be the same is hidden a far more insidious threat to peace. The  ego does not advertise its final threat, for it would have its
Tx:15.7  to the belief in hell, and always does. The only way in which the  ego allows the fear of hell to be experienced is to bring hell here,
Tx:15.8 The Holy Spirit teaches thus: There is no hell. Hell is only what the  ego has made of the present. The belief in hell is what prevents you
Tx:15.8  are afraid of it. The Holy Spirit leads as steadily to Heaven as the  ego drives to hell. For the Holy Spirit, Who knows only the present,
Tx:15.8  Who knows only the present, uses it to undo the fear by which the  ego would make the present useless. There is no escape from fear in
Tx:15.19  how much you have misused your brothers by seeing them as sources of  ego support. As a result, they witness to the ego in your perception
Tx:15.19  them as sources of ego support. As a result, they witness to the  ego in your perception and seem to provide reasons for not letting it
Tx:15.19  His strength. It is, therefore, your choice whether they support the  ego or the Holy Spirit in you. And you will know which you have
Tx:15.26  given him. We asked you once before, “Would you be hostage to the  ego or host to God?” Let this question be asked you by the Holy
Tx:15.27  your attempts to deny His magnitude and make His Son hostage to the  ego cannot make little whom God has joined with Him. Every decision
Tx:15.37 Be humble before Him and yet great in Him. And value no plan of the  ego before the plan of God. For you leave empty your place in His
Tx:15.39  this course is simple is that truth is simple. Complexity is of the  ego and is nothing more than the ego's attempt to obscure the obvious.
Tx:15.45  means. You are afraid of this because you believe that without the  ego all would be chaos. Yet I assure you that without the ego all
Tx:15.45  the ego all would be chaos. Yet I assure you that without the  ego all would be love.
Tx:15.48  uses special relationships, which you have chosen to support the  ego, as a learning experience which points to truth. Under His
Tx:15.65  everything. This is not the basis for any relationship in which the  ego enters. For every relationship on which the ego embarks is
Tx:15.65  in which the ego enters. For every relationship on which the  ego embarks is special. The ego establishes relationships only to get
Tx:15.65  For every relationship on which the ego embarks is special. The  ego establishes relationships only to get something. And it would
Tx:15.66 It is impossible for the  ego to enter into any relationship without anger, for the ego
Tx:15.66  for the ego to enter into any relationship without anger, for the  ego believes that anger makes friends. This is not its statement, but
Tx:15.66  friends. This is not its statement, but it is its purpose. For the  ego really believes that it can get and keep by making guilty. This
Tx:15.66  would have no hold at all, except that no one recognizes it. For the  ego always seems to attract through love and has no attraction at all
Tx:15.68 We said before that the  ego attempts to maintain and increase guilt, but in such a way that
Tx:15.68  doctrine that what you do to others, you have escaped. The  ego wishes no one well. Yet its survival depends on your belief that
Tx:15.69  around the chosen host of God, who cannot make himself host to the  ego. In the name of his release, and in the name of Him Who would
Tx:15.69  release him, let us look more closely at the relationships which the  ego contrives and let the Holy Spirit judge them truly. For it is
Tx:15.70 In one way or another, every relationship which the  ego makes is based on the idea that by sacrificing itself, it becomes
Tx:15.70  to attack directly and avoid delaying what it really wants. Yet the  ego acknowledges “reality” as it sees it and recognizes that no one
Tx:15.71  sacrifice himself as well. Forgiveness becomes impossible, for the  ego believes that to forgive another is to lose him. For it is only
Tx:15.71  to lose him. For it is only by attack without forgiveness that the  ego can ensure the guilt which holds all its relationships together.
Tx:15.72 Yet they only seem to be together. For relationships, to the  ego, mean only that bodies are together. It is always physical
Tx:15.72  that bodies are together. It is always physical closeness that the  ego demands, and it does not object where the mind goes or what it
Tx:15.72  as the body is there to receive its sacrifice, it is content. To the  ego, the mind is private, and only the body can be shared. Ideas are
Tx:15.73 Suffering and sacrifice are the gifts with which the  ego would “bless” all unions. And those who are united at its altar
Tx:15.73  at the ego's altar far exceeds your awareness of it. For what the  ego really wants, you do not realize.
Tx:15.74  can be sure that you have formed a special relationship which the  ego has “blessed,” for anger is its blessing. Anger takes many forms,
Tx:15.74  someone feel guilty, and this attempt is the only basis which the  ego accepts for special relationships. Guilt is the only need the ego
Tx:15.74  ego accepts for special relationships. Guilt is the only need the  ego has, and as long as you identify with it, guilt will remain
Tx:15.76  you will see safety in guilt and danger in communication. For the  ego will always teach that loneliness is solved by guilt and that
Tx:15.85 As the  ego would limit your perception of your brothers to the body, so
Tx:15.86  gratification what you think you want. The body is the symbol of the  ego, as the ego is the symbol of the separation. And both are nothing
Tx:15.86  what you think you want. The body is the symbol of the ego, as the  ego is the symbol of the separation. And both are nothing more than
Tx:15.87  given you. But to see this, it is necessary to give up every use the  ego has for the body and to accept the fact that the ego has no
Tx:15.87  every use the ego has for the body and to accept the fact that the  ego has no purpose you would share with it. For the ego would limit
Tx:15.87  fact that the ego has no purpose you would share with it. For the  ego would limit everyone to a body for its purposes, and while you
Tx:15.87  will never be accomplished. Yet you have surely recognized that the  ego, whose goals are altogether unattainable, will strive for them
Tx:15.88  to divide your strength between Heaven and hell, God and the  ego, and release your power unto creation, which is the only purpose
Tx:15.88  you. Love would always give increase. Limits are demanded by the  ego, representing its demands to make little and ineffectual. Limit
Tx:15.89  limited, and only those whom you would see without the limits the  ego would impose on them can offer you the gift of freedom.
Tx:15.91  and renounce its use for separation and attack which the  ego sees in it, you will learn you have no need of a body at all. In
Tx:15.92  it is the Holy Spirit's function to use them both, though not as the  ego uses them. This is the season when you would celebrate my birth
Tx:15.95  mistake. It seems like many, but it is all the same. For though the  ego takes many forms, it is always the same idea. What is not love is
Tx:15.95  is simply this—you believe that it is possible to be host to the  ego or hostage to God. This is the choice you think you have, and the
Tx:15.97 As host to the  ego, you believe that you can give all your guilt away whatever you
Tx:15.97  the payment does not seem to be yours. While it is obvious that the  ego does demand payment, it never seems to be demanding it of you.
Tx:15.97  be demanding it of you. For you are unwilling to recognize that the  ego, which you invited, is treacherous only to those who think they
Tx:15.97  is treacherous only to those who think they are its host. The  ego will never let you perceive this, since this recognition would
Tx:15.97  recognition dawns clearly, you will not be deceived by any form the  ego takes to protect itself from your sight.
Tx:15.98  demands! For total love would demand total sacrifice. And so the  ego seems to demand less of you than God, and of the two is judged as
Tx:15.100 You will not succeed in being partial hostage to the  ego, for it keeps no bargains and would leave you nothing. [Nor can
Tx:16.1  When He relates through you, He does not relate through the  ego to another ego. He does not join in pain, knowing that healing
Tx:16.1  relates through you, He does not relate through the ego to another  ego. He does not join in pain, knowing that healing pain is not
Tx:16.2 The clearest proof that empathy as the  ego uses it is destructive lies in the fact that it is applied only
Tx:16.2  what is like itself.] Make no mistake about this maneuver; the  ego always empathizes to weaken, and to weaken is always to attack.
Tx:16.44  the attempt to make guilty is always directed against God. For the  ego would have you see Him, and Him alone, as guilty, leaving the
Tx:16.44  appeal to those unwilling to relinquish guilt. The “dynamics” of the  ego are clearest here, for counting on the attraction of this
Tx:16.46  which He denied. It is essential to the preservation of the  ego that you believe this specialness is not hell, but Heaven. For
Tx:16.46  that you believe this specialness is not hell, but Heaven. For the  ego would never have you see that separation can only be loss, being
Tx:16.47  completion. There can be no disagreement on this, because both the  ego and the Holy Spirit accept it. They are, however, in complete
Tx:16.47  lies first in union and then in the extension of union. To the  ego, completion lies in triumph and in the extension of the “victory”
Tx:16.47  From this it follows that union, which is a condition in which the  ego cannot interfere, must be hell.
Tx:16.48 The special relationship is a strange and unnatural  ego device for joining hell and Heaven and making them
Tx:16.49 Most curious of all is the concept of the self which the  ego fosters in the special relationship. This “self” seeks the
Tx:16.50 The “better” self the  ego seeks is always one that is more special. And whoever seems to
Tx:16.50  him. Where both partners see this special self in each other, the  ego sees “a union made in Heaven.” For neither one will recognize
Tx:16.51  of hell lies only in the terrible attraction of guilt, which the  ego holds out to those who place their faith in littleness. The
Tx:16.51  ego's goals, is to destroy reality and substitute illusion. For the  ego is itself an illusion, and only illusions can be the witnesses to
Tx:16.59  special relationship is the sign that you equate yourself with the  ego and not with God. For the special relationship has value only to
Tx:16.59  and not with God. For the special relationship has value only to the  ego. To the ego unless a relationship has special value, it has no
Tx:16.59  God. For the special relationship has value only to the ego. To the  ego unless a relationship has special value, it has no meaning, and
Tx:16.60  You do not recognize that this is its real appeal, for the  ego has taught you that freedom lies in it. Yet the closer you look
Tx:16.62  universe would enter into it. Yet the special relationship which the  ego seeks does not include even one whole individual. For the ego
Tx:16.62  the ego seeks does not include even one whole individual. For the  ego wants but part of him and sees only this part and nothing else.
Tx:16.67 Be glad you have escaped the mockery of salvation which the  ego offered you and look not back with longing on the travesty it
Tx:16.72  on the past. It is completely savage and completely insane. For the  ego remembers everything that you have done which offended it and
Tx:16.72  which to act out its hate are fantasies of your destruction. For the  ego holds the past against you, and in your escape from the past, it
Tx:16.72  justly merit. Yet without your alliance in your own destruction, the  ego could not hold you to the past.
Tx:16.74  of love is not profoundly shaken. Yet the one thing which the  ego never allows to reach awareness is that the special relationship
Tx:16.79  of Atonement arising from His Love. Be an ally of God and not the  ego in seeking how Atonement can come to you. His help suffices, for
Tx:17.15  to its power. It is these shadow figures which would make the  ego holy in your sight and teach you what you do to keep it safe is
Tx:17.20  be undone. For separation must be corrected where it was made. The  ego seeks to “resolve” its problems, not at their source, but where
Tx:17.22  it clear to you. God's Son is one. Whom God has joined as one, the  ego cannot break apart. The spark of holiness must be safe, however
Tx:17.24  for entering into a continuing, unholy alliance with the  ego against the present. For the present is forgiveness. Therefore,
Tx:17.25  is all the same. For you can never choose except between God and the  ego. Thought systems are but true or false, and all their attributes
Tx:17.29  Spirit, Who was God's answer to the separation. For although the  ego did not understand what had been created, it was aware of threat.
Tx:17.30 The whole defense system which the  ego evolved to protect the separation from the Holy Spirit was in
Tx:17.31 The  ego is hyperalert to threat, and the part of your mind into which the
Tx:17.31  is hyperalert to threat, and the part of your mind into which the  ego was accepted is very anxious to preserve its reason as it sees
Tx:17.32  of delusions. You recognize, at least in general terms, that the  ego is insane. Yet the special relationship still seems to you
Tx:17.34  has the most imposing and deceptive frame of all the defenses the  ego uses. Its thought system is offered here, surrounded by a frame
Tx:17.37  seen as what it represents. For as the whole thought system of the  ego lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven lies in this instant,
Tx:17.46 The temptation of the  ego becomes extremely intense with this shift in goals. For the
Tx:17.47  the goal more slowly, for the contrast would be obscured and the  ego given time to reinterpret each slow step according to its liking.
Tx:17.49 Now the  ego counsels thus—substitute for this another relationship to which
Tx:17.58  anything. The reason for this disorganized approach is evident. The  ego does not know what it wants to come of it. It is aware of what it
Tx:17.59  line. And now the only judgment left to make is whether or not the  ego likes it—is it acceptable, or does it call for vengeance? The
Tx:17.61  again, you see the opposite of the ego's way of looking, for the  ego believes the situation brings the experience. The Holy Spirit
Tx:17.62  what you can give. Yet this is so only from the viewpoint of the  ego, for the ego believes in “solving” conflict through fragmentation
Tx:17.62  can give. Yet this is so only from the viewpoint of the ego, for the  ego believes in “solving” conflict through fragmentation and does not
Tx:17.63  with any aspect of the situation which seems to be difficult, the  ego will attempt to take this aspect elsewhere and resolve it there.
Tx:18.1  is to exclude, and substitution is the strongest defense the  ego has for separation.
Tx:18.2 The Holy Spirit never uses substitutes. Where the  ego perceives one person as a replacement for another, the Holy
Tx:18.2  everything seems to come between the fragmented relationships the  ego sponsors to destroy.
Tx:18.14  whatever seemed to attack you and change it into a tribute to your  ego, which was outraged by the “attack.” This would not be your wish
Tx:18.14  This would not be your wish unless you saw yourself as one with the  ego, which always looks upon itself and therefore on you as under
Tx:18.15  they are a way of looking at the world and changing it to suit the  ego better. They provide striking examples both of the ego's
Tx:18.32  to give the Holy Spirit what He does not ask, or you will add the  ego unto Him and confuse the two. He asks but little. It is He who
Tx:18.73 Within this kingdom the  ego rules, and cruelly. And to defend this little speck of dust, it
Tx:19.2  him to the Holy Spirit and releasing him from every demand your  ego would make of him. Thus do you see him free, and in this vision
Tx:19.21 Any attempt to reinterpret sin as error is always indefensible to the  ego. The idea of sin is wholly sacrosanct to its thought system and
Tx:19.22 It can indeed be said the  ego made its world on sin. Only in such a world could everything be
Tx:19.22  For sin has changed creation from an idea of God to an ideal the  ego wants; a world it rules, made up of bodies, mindless and capable
Tx:19.23  of what the Son of God has made himself to be and what he is. To the  ego, this is no mistake. For this is its reality; this is the “truth”
Tx:19.24  that is all it is. Perhaps you would be tempted to agree with the  ego that it is far better to be sinful than mistaken. Yet think you
Tx:19.25  and will be forever desirable. As an essential part of what the  ego thinks you are, you will always want it. And only an avenger with
Tx:19.26 The  ego does not think it possible that love, not fear, is really called
Tx:19.26  not fear, is really called upon by sin and always answers. For the  ego brings sin to fear, demanding punishment. Yet punishment is but
Tx:19.56  the symbol of your sin, and so I had to die instead of you. To the  ego sin means death, and so Atonement is achieved through murder.
Tx:19.58  store and make your lives complete. This is completion, as the  ego sees it. For guilt creeps in where happiness has been removed and
Tx:19.71  is essential that this relationship be understood, for it is one the  ego sees as proof of sin. It is not really punitive at all. It is but
Tx:19.73  which they are invested is given by the sender and the receiver. The  ego and the Holy Spirit both recognize this, and both also recognize
Tx:19.73  receiver are the same. The Holy Spirit tells you this with joy. The  ego hides it, for it would keep you unaware of it. Who would send
Tx:19.75  madness, and believe not the impossible is true. Forget not that the  ego has dedicated the body to the goal of sin and places in it all
Tx:19.76  from the Father and offering His messages unto the Son. Like the  ego, the Holy Spirit is both the sender and the receiver. For what is
Tx:19.76  seeking itself along the way and finding what it seeks. So does the  ego find the death it seeks, returning it to you.
Tx:19.77  to it and seek it out. And so it is with death. Made by the  ego, its dark shadow falls across all living things because the ego
Tx:19.77  the ego, its dark shadow falls across all living things because the  ego is the “enemy” of life.
Tx:19.79  not its source. And death is the result of the thought we call the  ego as surely as life is the result of the Thought of God.
Tx:19.80 From the  ego came sin and guilt and death, in opposition to life and innocence
Tx:19.81  glitter of guilt you laid upon the body would kill it. For what the  ego loves, it kills for its obedience. But what obeys it not, it
Tx:19.85 Under the dusty edge of its distorted world, the  ego would lay the Son of God, slain by its orders, proof in his decay
Tx:19.88  of fear comes over it, remember it is always for one reason—the  ego has perceived it as a symbol of fear, a sign of sin and death.
Tx:19.92  sovereignty is but the solemn vow, the promise made in secret to the  ego never to lift this veil, not to approach it nor even to suspect
Tx:19.92  suspect that it is there. This is the secret bargain made with the  ego to keep what lies beyond the veil forever blotted out and
Tx:19.93  cruel, and tyrannical. You are no more afraid of death than of the  ego. These are your chosen friends. For in your secret alliance with
Tx:19.95  the “holy” waxen image of death, and the fear of vengeance of the  ego you swore in blood not to desert, all rise and bid you not to
Tx:19.97 Forget not that you came this far together. And it was surely not the  ego that led you here. No obstacle to peace can be surmounted through
Tx:20.17 Adjustments of any kind are of the  ego. For it is the ego's fixed belief that all relationships depend
Tx:20.17  which there are no interferences, are always seen as dangerous. The  ego is the self-appointed mediator of all relationships, making
Tx:20.20  you. This sickly picture of yourself is carefully preserved by the  ego, whose image it is and which it loves, and placed outside you in
Tx:20.21  The world the holy see is one with them, just as the world the  ego looks upon is like itself. The world the holy see is beautiful
Tx:20.39 It is impossible to overestimate your brother's value. Only the  ego does this, but all it means is that it wants the other for itself
Tx:20.48  for all that it could offer is seen as valueless. Homeless, the  ego seeks as many bodies as it can collect to place its idols in and
Tx:20.61  cannot meaningfully be invested with attributes of Christ or of the  ego. Either must be an error, for both would place the attributes
Tx:20.62 The body is the means by which the  ego tries to make the unholy relationship seem real. The unholy
Tx:21.20  in it the whole exchange of separation for salvation. All that the  ego is, is an idea that it is possible that things should happen to
Tx:21.24 We have already said that wishful thinking is how the  ego deals with what it wants to make it so. There is no better
Tx:21.41  you would not be fearful to admit. Fear in association with sin the  ego deems quite appropriate and smiles approvingly. It has no fear to
Tx:21.42 Remember that the  ego is not alone. Its rule is tempered, and its unknown “enemy,” Whom
Tx:21.42  its unknown “enemy,” Whom it cannot even see, it fears. Loudly the  ego tells you not to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light
Tx:21.42  not the ego's hidden fear, nor yours who serve it. Loudly indeed the  ego claims it is—too loudly and too often. For underneath this
Tx:21.42  For underneath this constant shout and frantic proclamation, the  ego is not certain it is so. Beneath your fear to look within because
Tx:21.42  within because of sin is yet another fear and one which makes the  ego tremble.
Tx:21.43  you looked within and saw no sin? This “fearful” question is one the  ego never asks. And you who ask it now are threatening the ego's
Tx:21.43  themselves from their belief that their identity lies in the  ego. A holy relationship is one in which you join with what is part
Tx:21.44  insanity and on to reason. And what your reason tells you now, the  ego would not hear. The Holy Spirit's purpose was accepted by the
Tx:21.44  The Holy Spirit's purpose was accepted by the part of your mind the  ego knows not of. No more did you. And yet this part with which you
Tx:21.45  of release to come to you. And now you recognize that it was not the  ego that joined the Holy Spirit's purpose, and so there must be
Tx:21.47 And now the  ego is afraid. Yet what it hears in terror, the other part hears as
Tx:21.47  as the sweetest music—the song it longed to hear since first the  ego came into your minds. The ego's weakness is its strength. The
Tx:21.48  What it would keep apart has met and joined, and looks upon the  ego unafraid. Little children, innocent of sin, follow in gladness
Tx:21.50  of it needs your help because it is your choice. Listen to what the  ego says and see what it directs you see, and it is sure that you
Tx:21.51  for help, the only one It makes. Miracles seem unnatural to the  ego because it does not understand how separate minds can influence
Tx:21.53  such is clearly not the ego's “reasoning.” Its alien nature to the  ego is proof you will not find the answer there. Yet if it must be
Tx:21.56  reason in insanity, for it depends entirely on reason's absence. The  ego never uses it because it does not realize that it exists. The
Tx:21.58  and belief have shifted, and you have asked the question which the  ego will never ask. Does not your reason tell you now the question
Tx:22.16  opposite of illusions is not disillusionment, but truth. Only to the  ego, to which truth is meaningless, do they appear to be the only
Tx:22.20 Both reason and the  ego will tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The
Tx:22.20  will tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The  ego will assure you now that it is impossible for you to see no guilt
Tx:22.21  period in this course, for here the separation of you and the  ego must be made complete. For if you have the means to let the Holy
Tx:22.21  used. And through their use will you gain faith in them. Yet to the  ego this must be impossible, and no one undertakes to do what holds
Tx:22.29  thought system is the beginning of its undoing. For reason and the  ego are contradictory. Nor is it possible for them to co-exist in
Tx:22.29  is not ambiguous. It can be understood. And here do reason and the  ego separate to go their different ways.
Tx:22.30  of errors. It looks on nothing that can be corrected. Thus does the  ego damn and reason save.
Tx:22.32 Only the form of error attracts the  ego. Meaning it does not recognize and does not know if it is there

Tx:5.72  thus ensure that the future will remain like the past. This is the  ego's continuity and gives it a false sense of security through the

Tx:7.81 Perceive any part of the  ego's thought system as wholly insane, wholly delusional, and wholly
Tx:7.83  project, because that is how it lives, and every mind is life. The  ego's use of projection must be fully understood before its
Tx:7.88  belief. When you are willing to accept sole responsibility for the  ego's existence yourself, you will have laid aside all anger and all
Tx:7.93  than can the fullness of its Creator. Fullness is extension. The  ego's whole thought system blocks extension and thus blocks your only

Tx:8.72 It has been particularly difficult to overcome the  ego's belief in the body as an end, because this is synonymous with
Tx:8.72  investment in sickness. If you are sick, how can you object to the  ego's firm belief that you are not invulnerable? This is a
Tx:8.72  not invulnerable? This is a particularly appealing argument from the  ego's point of view because it obscures the obvious attack which

Tx:8.78  you want can distort what you see and hear. No one can doubt the  ego's skill in building up false cases. Nor can anyone doubt your

Tx:12.29  the Holy Spirit's perception of time is the exact opposite of the  ego's. The reason is equally clear, for they perceive the goal of

Tx:14.14  to whomever you see as guiltless. Crucifixion is always the  ego's aim. It sees as guilty, and by its condemnation, it would kill.
Tx:14.54 This is characteristic of the  ego's judgments. Separately, they seem to hold, but put them together
Tx:14.54  makes a cohesive system impossible. Separation therefore remains the  ego's chosen condition. For no one alone can judge the ego truly. Yet
Tx:15.4  it craves for you, leaves it unsatisfied. No one who follows the  ego's teaching is without the fear of death. Yet if death were
Tx:15.4  pain, would it be feared? We have seen this strange paradox in the  ego's thought system before, but never so clearly as here. For the
Tx:15.5  it will pursue you still because guilt is eternal. Such is the  ego's version of immortality. And it is this the ego's version of

Tx:15.7 How bleak and despairing is the  ego's use of time! And how terrifying! For underneath its fanatical

Tx:15.39  is simple. Complexity is of the ego and is nothing more than the  ego's attempt to obscure the obvious.
Tx:15.46 The past is the  ego's chief learning device, for it is in the past that you learned
Tx:15.51 The  ego's use of relationships is so fragmented that it frequently goes
Tx:15.68  way that you do not recognize what it would do to you. For it is the  ego's fundamental doctrine that what you do to others, you have
Tx:15.73  never without demand of sacrifice. The fury of those joined at the  ego's altar far exceeds your awareness of it. For what the ego really

Tx:16.75 Against the  ego's insane notion of salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the

Tx:19.20 A major tenet in the  ego's insane religion is that sin is not error but truth, and it is
Tx:19.21  through reverence and awe. It is the most “holy” concept in the  ego's system—lovely and powerful, wholly true, and necessarily
Tx:19.23 There is no stone in all the  ego's embattled citadel more heavily defended than the idea that sin

Tx:19.74 The  ego's messages are always sent away from you in the belief that for

Tx:19.76 It is not given to the  ego's disciples to realize that they have dedicated themselves to
Tx:19.78  whose dedication it is not to live—the black-draped “sinners,” the  ego's mournful chorus, plodding so heavily away from life, dragging

Tx:19.84  flow across seems to be very great. For in it lies hidden all the  ego's secrets, all its strange devices for deception, all its sick
Tx:19.84  weird imaginings. Here is the final end of union, the triumph of the  ego's making over creation, the victory of lifelessness on Life
Tx:19.85  orders, proof in his decay that God Himself is powerless before the  ego's might, unable to protect the life that He created against the
Tx:19.85  ego's might, unable to protect the life that He created against the  ego's savage wish to kill. My brothers, children of our Father, this

Tx:20.76  substitutes for all the terrifying sights and screaming sounds the  ego's purpose brought to your horrified awareness. They step away

Tx:22.30  can be corrected, and thus it must have been an error. The  ego's opposition to correction leads to its fixed belief in sin and
Tx:23.9  that have no meaning. For your beliefs converge upon the body, the  ego's chosen home, which you believe is yours. You meet at a mistake
Tx:23.30  Here is what makes your vengeance justified. Behold, unveiled, the  ego's secret gift, torn from your brother's body, hidden there in

Tx:24.56  that both may end a journey that has never been begun and needs no  end. What never was is not a part of you. Yet you will think it is
Tx:24.67  Here you are but means, along with it. God is a Means as well as  End. In Heaven, means and end are one, and one with Him. This is the
Tx:24.67  along with it. God is a Means as well as End. In Heaven, means and  end are one, and one with Him. This is the state of true creation,

Tx:24.68  Here do the means and end unite as one, nor does this one have any  end at all. All this is true, and yet it has no meaning to anyone who
Tx:25.6  is a part of what it is your purpose to behold, for means and  end are never separate. And thus you learn what seems to have a life
Tx:25.26  need the Son of God believes he has. Corrected error is the error's  end. And thus has God protected still His Son, even in error. There

Tx:27.8  the price for all of them if they enjoy their benefits or not. The  end of life must come, whatever way that life be spent. And so take
Tx:27.9  belief that sin and death are real, and innocence and sin will  end alike within the termination of the grave. If this were true,

Tx:29.38  in different form. Forgiveness is your peace, for herein lies the  end of separation and the dream of danger and destruction, sin, and
Tx:29.39  the universe that must be one. What seems eternal all will have an  end. The stars will disappear, and night and day will be no more. All
Tx:29.39  with time and bloom and fade will not return. Where time has set an  end is not where the eternal is. God's Son can never change by what

Tx:31.34  they seem to start, however differently they seem to go. Their  end is certain, for there is no choice among them. All of them will
Tx:31.35 There is no choice where every  end is sure. Perhaps you would prefer to try them all before you

W1:193.4  the hate to love, so that the fear is gone. And now guilt cannot  enter, for its source has been excluded as the purpose of the lesson

Tx:11.13  Thus does the Holy Spirit replace fear with love and translate  error into truth. And thus will you learn of Him how to replace your
Tx:11.25  You, then, are making the same mistake that he is and are making his  error real to both of you. Insistence means investment, and what you

Tx:12.45  can rise to meet your sight, for all reality leaves no room for any  error. This means that you perceive a brother only as you see him
Tx:13.80  are reflections of what God knows about you, and in this light,  error of any kind becomes impossible. Why would you struggle so
Tx:14.39 Bringing the ego to God is but to bring  error to truth, where it stands corrected because it is the opposite
Tx:14.45 The response of holiness to any form of  error is always the same. There is no contradiction in what holiness

Tx:18.5  you have seen begins to show you the enormity of the original  error, which seemed to cast you out of Heaven, to shatter knowledge
Tx:18.6 That was the first projection of  error outward. The world arose to hide it and became the screen on
Tx:18.6  afraid of it. When you seem to see some twisted form of the original  error rise to frighten you, say only, “God is not fear, but love,”

Tx:18.9  joined in God, as much together as you are with Him. The original  error has not entered here, nor ever will. Here is the radiant truth

Tx:19.20 A major tenet in the ego's insane religion is that sin is not  error but truth, and it is innocence that would deceive. Purity is
Tx:19.21 Any attempt to reinterpret sin as  error is always indefensible to the ego. The idea of sin is wholly
Tx:19.25 The attraction of guilt is found in sin, not  error. Sin will be repeated because of this attraction. Fear can

Tx:19.27  then you will but change the form of sin, granting that it was an  error but keeping it uncorrectable. This is not really a change in
Tx:19.27  in your perception, for it is sin that calls for punishment, not  error. The Holy Spirit cannot punish sin. Mistakes He recognizes and
Tx:19.29  Yet from the plane, the line seems discontinuous. And this is but an  error in perception which can be easily corrected in the mind,
Tx:19.30  differently and see beyond it, but not while you believe in sin. In  error, yes; for this can be corrected by the mind. But sin is the
Tx:19.70  retaliative attack on what you think has failed you? Use not your  error as the justification for your faithlessness. You have not
Tx:20.60  and not the means. Remember this, for otherwise you will make the  error of believing the means are difficult. Yet how can they be
Tx:20.61  invested with attributes of Christ or of the ego. Either must be an  error, for both would place the attributes where they cannot be. And
Tx:21.59  you will not give it, thus maintaining the belief. For uncorrected  error of any kind deceives you about the power that is in you to make
Tx:22.1  by each to be within himself. And each one seems to make a different  error, and one the other cannot understand. Brothers, it is the same,
Tx:22.30  was uncorrectable can be corrected, and thus it must have been an  error. The ego's opposition to correction leads to its fixed belief
Tx:22.31  to pass it. Yet reason sees through it easily because it is an  error. The form it takes cannot conceal its emptiness from reason's
Tx:22.32 Only the form of  error attracts the ego. Meaning it does not recognize and does not
Tx:22.32  or not. Everything which the body's eyes can see is a mistake, an  error in perception, a distorted fragment of the whole, without the
Tx:22.32  yet mistakes, regardless of their form, can be corrected. Sin is but  error in a special form the ego venerates. It would preserve all
Tx:22.33 Reason will tell you that the form of  error is not what makes it a mistake. If what the form conceals is a
Tx:22.33  see beyond what they were made to see. And they were made to look on  error and not see past it. Theirs is indeed a strange perception, for
Tx:22.55 Before a holy relationship there is no sin. The form of  error is no longer seen, and reason, joined with love, looks quietly
Tx:22.55  the same Atonement you accepted in your relationship corrects the  error and lays a part of Heaven in its place. How blessed are you who
Tx:22.57  have looked upon each other with complete forgiveness from which no  error is excluded and nothing kept hidden what mistake can there be
Tx:22.60  attackers more powerful than you. Let us look straight at how this  error came about, for here lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to
Tx:23.3  the strength of love because they looked on innocence. And every  error disappeared because they saw it not. Who looks for glory finds
Tx:23.9  chosen home, which you believe is yours. You meet at a mistake—an  error in your self-appraisal. The ego joins with an illusion of
Tx:23.22  and not correction. For the destruction of the one who makes the  error places him beyond correction and beyond forgiveness. What he
Tx:24.26  clings to one illusion can see himself as sinless, for he holds one  error to himself as lovely still. And so he calls it “unforgivable”
Tx:25.9  your mind, so that the aim of specialness can be corrected where the  error lies. Because His purpose still is one with both the Father and
Tx:25.26  form adapted to the need the Son of God believes he has. Corrected  error is the error's end. And thus has God protected still His Son,
Tx:25.26  the error's end. And thus has God protected still His Son, even in  error. There is another purpose in the world that error made because
Tx:25.26  His Son, even in error. There is another purpose in the world that  error made because it has another Maker Who can reconcile its goal
Tx:25.27  be, and you agree, then must the Maker of the world correct your  error, lest you remain in darkness where the lamps are not. Everyone
Tx:25.30  sin has been corrected by His sight. And thus it must have been an  error, not a sin. For what it claimed could never be has been. Sin is
Tx:25.30  and so preserved. But to forgive it is to change its state from  error into truth.
Tx:25.80  what is unfair must be corrected because it is unfair. And every  error is a perception in which one at least is seen unfairly. Thus is
Tx:26.11  worked out so no one loses, is the problem gone, because it was an  error in perception which now has been corrected. One mistake is not
Tx:26.13 The miracle of justice can correct all errors. Every problem is an  error. It does injustice to the Son of God and therefore is not true.

Tx:18.55  this prison you have made and would destroy it. But you would not  escape from it, leaving it unharmed, without your guilt upon it.

Tx:20.51  you tremble with them. Yet what you fear is but the herald of  escape. This place of darkness is not your home. Your temple is not
Tx:20.66  sinless?” And as you ask, forget not that his sinlessness is your  escape from fear. Salvation is the Holy Spirit's goal. The means is
Tx:21.14  need do for vision, happiness, release from pain, and the complete  escape from sin, all to be given you. Say only this, but mean it with
Tx:21.66  how to leave insanity behind. Hide not behind insanity in order to  escape from reason. What madness would conceal, the Holy Spirit still
Tx:22.17  of misery? To leave one kind of misery and seek another is hardly an  escape. To change illusions is to make no change. The search for joy
Tx:22.19 Reason will tell you that the only way to  escape from misery is to recognize it and go the other way. Truth is
Tx:22.20  no guilt in anyone. And if this vision is the only means by which  escape from guilt can be attained, then the belief in sin must be
Tx:22.20  be so if the idea is like its source. Therefore, says reason, if  escape from guilt was given to the Holy Spirit as His purpose, and by
Tx:22.22  false and cannot be but partially believed. And you will either  escape from misery entirely or not at all. Reason will tell you that
Tx:23.26 There can be no release and no  escape. Atonement thus becomes a myth, and vengeance, not
Tx:23.26  it to overcome His Son. Think not the ego will enable you to find  escape from what it wants. That is the function of this course, which
Tx:23.46 Mistake not truce for peace, nor compromise for the  escape from conflict. To be released from conflict means that it is
Tx:24.41  to be; however much it delicately offers the hope of peace and the  escape from pain—in which you suffer not your condemnation. In

Tx:24.53  the truth in him, for not one law of death you bind him to will you  escape. And not one sin you see in him but keeps you both in hell.
Tx:24.71  yourself with no provisions made for evidence beyond itself and no  escape within its sight. Its course is sure when seen through its own
Tx:25.22  and him. To each of you is given the power of salvation that  escape from darkness into light be yours to share; that you may see
Tx:25.58  him and whatever hope he has of being sane. Nor is he left without  escape from madness, for he has a special part in everyone's escape.
Tx:25.58  without escape from madness, for he has a special part in everyone's  escape. He can no more be left outside without a special function in
Tx:25.69  except a devil dressed to deceive within an angel's cloak? And what  escape has He for them except a door to hell that seems to look like
Tx:26.44  has come to you. For no one can make one illusion real and still  escape the rest. For who can choose to keep the ones which he prefers
Tx:26.61  God's Son could never be content with less than full salvation and  escape from guilt. For otherwise he still demands that he must make
Tx:27.1  a crown of thorns from which your brother and yourself will not  escape. You cannot crucify yourself alone. And if you are unfairly
Tx:27.2  not to make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you will not  escape the death you made for him. But in his innocence, you find
Tx:27.4  he forget the injuries he gave from which you swear he never will  escape. This sick and sorry picture you accept, if only it can serve
Tx:27.39  true? Which ones establish peace and offer joy? And which can bring  escape from all the pain of which this world is made?” Whatever form
Tx:27.62  apparent still, for it is he who bears the suffering. And he cannot  escape because its source is seen outside himself.
Tx:27.63 Now you are being shown you can  escape. All that is needed is you look upon the problem as it is, and
Tx:27.65 There is indeed a need. The world's  escape from condemnation is a need which those within the world are
Tx:27.67  part you play in salvaging the world from condemnation is your own  escape. Forget not that the witness to the world of evil cannot speak

Tx:29.63  to God's Son, and it is justice that who judges him will not  escape the penalty he laid upon himself within the dream he made. God
Tx:29.65  him for his treachery to them. He thinks he needs them that he may  escape his thoughts, because he thinks the thoughts are real. And so
Tx:30.57  the world is seen to be forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, and the  escape from guilt becomes its aim. The value of forgiveness is
Tx:30.70 Anger is never justified. Attack has no foundation. It is here  escape from fear begins and will be made complete. Here is the real
Tx:30.74  error which remains unchangeable, eternal, and beyond correction or  escape. There would be one mistake which had the power to undo
Tx:30.75  be limited. And you have set a goal of partial pardon and a limited  escape from guilt for you. What can this be except a false
Tx:30.76  from healing, one illusion must be part of truth. And you could not  escape all guilt, but only some of it. You must forgive God's Son
Tx:30.76  that is not whole and will remain afraid to look within and find  escape from every idol there. Salvation rests on faith there cannot

Tx:31.34  and death. There is no choice in its alternatives. Seek not  escape from problems here. The world was made that problems could not
Tx:31.42  journeys and all goal-less aims. They have no meaning. You can not  escape from what you are. For God is merciful and did not let His Son
Tx:31.42  Son abandon Him. For what He is, be thankful, for in that is your  escape from madness and from death. Nowhere but where He is can you

Tx:14.2  felt, apart from Him, that resembles it ever so faintly. You cannot  even give a blessing in perfect gentleness. Would you know of One Who
Tx:14.21  of language is communication, how can this tongue mean anything? Yet  even this strange and twisted effort to communicate through not
Tx:14.48  You have experienced lack of competition among your thoughts, which,  even though they may conflict, can occur to you together and in great
Tx:14.59  lesson so unthinkable that only the insane, in deepest sleep, could  even dream of it. Can God learn how not to be God? And can His Son,
Tx:14.63  are wholly free of fear of any kind, and if all those who meet or  even think of you share in your perfect peace, then you can be sure
Tx:15.3  beyond the grave. And out of its unwillingness for you to find peace  even in the death it wants for you, it offers you immortality in
Tx:15.6  ego teaches that Heaven is here and now because the future is hell.  Even when it attacks so savagely that it tries to take the life of
Tx:15.6  who hears it temporarily as the only voice, it speaks of hell  even to him. For it tells him hell is here and bids him leap from
Tx:15.6  anyone to look upon with some amount of equanimity is the past. And  even there its only value is that it is no more.
Tx:15.18  Himself to encompass you. You who have spent days, hours, and  even years in chaining your brothers to your egos in an attempt to
Tx:15.34  before His holy altar, which rises above the stars and reaches  even to Heaven because of what is given it.
Tx:15.51  ego's use of relationships is so fragmented that it frequently goes  even further—one part of one aspect suits its purposes, while it
Tx:15.77  in real relationship, so holy and so strong that it can overcome  even this without fear. It is through the holy instant that what
Tx:15.107  condition of love by teaching that communication remains unbroken,  even if the body is destroyed, provided that you see not the body as
Tx:16.14  is true. But can you really believe that all that has happened,  even though you do not understand it, has not happened? Yet this is
Tx:16.23  And yet, this Self you clearly do not know and do not recognize It  even though It functions. What functions must be there. And it is
Tx:16.44  often quite open. Here they are usually judged to be acceptable and  even natural. No one considers it bizarre to love and hate together,
Tx:16.44  natural. No one considers it bizarre to love and hate together, and  even those who believe that hate is sin merely feel guilty and do not
Tx:16.47  completion lies in triumph and in the extension of the “victory”  even to the final triumph over God. In this it sees the ultimate
Tx:16.54  and love has lost its meaning. Would you want this to be possible,  even apart from its evident impossibility? For if it were possible,
Tx:16.62  Yet the special relationship which the ego seeks does not include  even one whole individual. For the ego wants but part of him and sees
Tx:16.65  and comfort rather than despair in this: You could no longer find  even the illusion of love in any special relationship here. For you
Tx:16.74  does not seem to be an acting out of vengeance which you seek. And  even when the hatred and the savagery break briefly through into
Tx:17.7  that made your heart seem to sing with joy has ever brought you  even a little part of the happiness this sight will bring you. For
Tx:17.11  of your lack of reason is suddenly released to loveliness. Not  even what the Son of God made in insanity could be without a hidden
Tx:17.12  home. And there he knows that he has always rested there in peace.  Even salvation will become a dream and vanish from his mind. For
Tx:17.17  which union is attempted but the bodies of those who are not there.  Even the body of the other, already a severely limited perception of
Tx:17.19  it becomes. Thus, the attempt at union becomes a way of excluding  even the one with whom the union was sought. For it was formed to get
Tx:17.29 You have made very real relationships  even in this world which you do not recognize simply because you have
Tx:17.45  but it makes the relationship seem disturbed, disjunctive, and  even quite distressing. The reason is quite clear. For the
Tx:17.47  are inevitably appalled. Their perception of the relationship may  even become quite disorganized. And yet, the former organization of
Tx:17.49  a most explicit statement? Now He asks for faith a little longer,  even in bewilderment. For this will go, and you will see the
Tx:17.75  coming. Let it encompass every situation and bring you peace. Not  even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and
Tx:18.42  will build a ladder planted in the solid rock of faith and rising  even to Heaven. Nor will you use it to ascend to Heaven alone.
Tx:18.44  is an undertaking impossible for you to understand. You do not  even realize you have accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose as your own,
Tx:18.46  to deal with it alone. Never believe that this is necessary or  even possible. Yet just as this is impossible, so is it equally
Tx:18.60  anything and anywhere—a sound, a sight, a thought, a memory, and  even a general idea without specific reference. Yet in every case,
Tx:18.71  you identify with externals, something outside itself. You cannot  even think of God without a body or some form you think you recognize.
Tx:18.74 Yet neither sun nor ocean is  even aware of all this strange and meaningless activity. They merely
Tx:18.74  that they are feared and hated by a tiny segment of themselves.  Even that segment is not lost to them, for it could not survive apart
Tx:18.94 Yet  even forgiveness is not the end. Forgiveness does make lovely, but it
Tx:19.19 The Son of God can be mistaken; he can deceive himself; he can  even turn the power of his mind against himself. But he cannot sin.
Tx:19.50  fear would feed upon, love overlooks. What fear demands, love cannot  even see.
Tx:19.51  their master calls upon them to serve him. For fear is merciless  even to its friends. Its messengers steal guiltily away in hungry
Tx:19.74  of attack and guilt will someone other than yourself suffer. And  even if you suffer, yet someone else will suffer more. The great
Tx:19.87  enter and disturb the peace of sinlessness? What has been given you,  even in its infancy, is in full communication with God and you. In
Tx:19.90  and of the universe of universes and of everything that lies  even beyond them would you remember. And as this memory rises in your
Tx:19.92  in secret to the ego never to lift this veil, not to approach it nor  even to suspect that it is there. This is the secret bargain made
Tx:19.99  is not enough. A journey without a purpose is still meaningless, and  even when it is over, it seems to make no sense. How can you know
Tx:20.39  attempt to judge what lies so far beyond your judgment you cannot  even see it? Judge not what is invisible to you or you will never see
Tx:20.48  And its relationships must be unholy, for what they are, it does not  even see. It wants them solely for the offerings on which its idols
Tx:20.50  condemnation. For here is love made fearful and hope abandoned.  Even the idols that are worshiped here are shrouded in mystery and
Tx:21.17  for you. This is the little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit, and  even this He gave to you to give yourself. For by this gift is given
Tx:21.42  alone. Its rule is tempered, and its unknown “enemy,” Whom it cannot  even see, it fears. Loudly the ego tells you not to look inward, for
Tx:21.73  not there. Yes, it can dream it found an enemy, but this will shift  even as it attacks, so that it runs at once to find another and never
Tx:21.73  treacherous does this enemy appear, who changes so it is impossible  even to recognize him!
Tx:21.86  is a condition quite alien to your understanding. Yet if you could  even imagine what it must be, you would desire it although you
Tx:22.40  Yet it is almost over in your awareness, and peace has reached you  even here before the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of
Tx:22.52  that anyone who chooses this has no idea of what is valuable. Yet  even in this confusion, so profound it cannot be described, the Holy
Tx:23.24  believe; and how He must respond, believing it. It is not seen as  even necessary that He be asked about the truth of what has been
Tx:23.52  darkened and murderous, remember you can see the battle from above.  Even in forms you do not recognize, the signs you know. There is a
Tx:24.14 Specialness is the idea of sin made real. Sin is impossible  even to imagine without this base. For sin arose from it out of
Tx:24.29  by everything that walks and breathes or creeps or crawls or  even lives at all. Nothing is safe from its attack, and it is safe
Tx:24.30  to be brought to them and left behind. Salvation challenges not  even death. And God Himself, Who knows that death is not your will,
Tx:24.71  become the means to serve his “father's” purpose. Not identical, not  even like, but still a means to offer to the “father” what he wants.
Tx:24.72  difference does not lie in how they look, nor where they go, nor  even what they do. They have a different purpose. It is this that
Tx:25.26  error is the error's end. And thus has God protected still His Son,  even in error. There is another purpose in the world that error made
Tx:25.33  effects, believing them to be the bringers of rejoicing and of joy.  Even in Heaven does this law obtain. The Son of God creates to bring
Tx:26.44  give? Who can believe illusions are the same and still maintain that  even one is best?
Tx:27.21  in the sacrifice. How could the Holy Spirit be deterred an instant,  even less, to reason with an argument for sickness such as this? And
Tx:27.26 In this interpretation of correction, your own mistakes you will not  even see. The focus of correction has been placed outside yourself on
Tx:27.30  thought, where half is canceled out by the remaining half. Yet  even this is quickly contradicted by the half it canceled out, and so
Tx:27.40 A pseudo-question has no answer. It dictates the answer  even as it asks. Thus is all questioning within the world a form of
Tx:27.72  between your dreams and your reality. The little gap you do not  even see, the birthplace of illusions and of fear, the time of terror
Tx:27.78  tosses them away for senseless things it does not need and does not  even want. It hires other bodies, that they may protect it, and
Tx:29.37  dreams are shared, they lose the function of attack and separation,  even though it was for this that every dream was made. Yet nothing in
Tx:29.42  body only if you think that it was made to crucify God's Son. For  even though it was a dream of death, you need not let it stand for
Tx:29.59  more of what—more beauty, more intelligence, more wealth, or  even more affliction and more pain. But more of something is an idol

Tx:30.60  knows how this can be, for understanding this is Heaven itself.  Even the real world has a purpose still beneath creation and
Tx:31.3  There is no greater power in the world. The world was made by it and  even now depends on nothing else. The lessons you have taught
Tx:31.3  your will is not your own, your thoughts do not belong to you, and  even you are someone else.
Tx:31.44  the aspect acted on. It is this face that smiles and charms and  even seems to love. It searches for companions, and it looks at times
Tx:31.51  what proof there is that you are what your brother made of you. For  even though you do not yet perceive that this is what you think, you
Tx:31.52 That you are what your brother made of you seems most unlikely.  Even if he did, who gave the face of innocence to you? Is this your

W1:11.3  in particular. The words, however, should be used in an unhurried,  even leisurely fashion. The introduction to this idea should be
W1:12.2  markedly longer or shorter, but try, instead, to keep a measured,  even tempo throughout. What you see does not matter. You teach
W1:12.9  today. Nor should the practice periods exceed a minute. You may find  even this too long. Terminate the exercises whenever you experience a
W1:13.8  recognizing. Do not dwell on the concluding statement, and try not  even to think of it except during the exercise periods. That will

W1:18.7 A minute or so or  even less will be sufficient.
W1:19.2  seems to carry with it an enormous sense of responsibility and may  even be regarded as an “invasion of privacy.” Yet it is a fact that
W1:20.1  time for undertaking them, minimal effort has been required, and not  even active cooperation and interest have been asked. This casual
W1:23.4  can light your images and so transform them that you will love them  even though they were made of hate. For you will not be making them
W1:24.7  as many different kinds of outcome as may honestly occur to you,  even if some of them do not appear to you to be directly related to
W1:24.7  them do not appear to you to be directly related to the situation or  even to be inherent in it at all.
W1:27.6  to it throughout the day. It will not be difficult to do this,  even if you are engaged in conversation or otherwise occupied at the
W1:29.2  this point. You may find it silly, irreverent, senseless, funny, and  even objectionable. Certainly God is not in a table, for example, as
W1:30.1  it what you have never seen before. Nor will what you saw before be  even faintly visible to you.
W1:41.7  easy because it is the most natural thing in the world. You might  even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open
W1:41.7  that it is possible. This exercise can bring very startling results  even the first time it is attempted. And sooner or later, it is
W1:44.10  correctly, you should experience some sense of relaxation and  even a feeling that you are approaching if not actually entering into
W1:45.11  be unable as yet to realize how high you are trying to go. Yet  even with the little understanding you have already gained, you

W1:66.4  happiness. Therefore the function He gave you must be happiness,  even if it appears to be different. Today's exercises are an attempt
W1:66.7 Try to see the logic in this sequence,  even if you do not yet accept the conclusion. It is only if the first
W1:67.7  with false self-images. Four or five times an hour, and perhaps  even more, it would be most beneficial to remind yourself that Love
W1:68.5  will try to find out how you would feel without them. If you succeed  even by ever so little, there will never be a problem in motivation
W1:68.6  the seemingly minor grievances you hold against those you like and  even think you love. It will quickly become apparent that there is no

W1:76.9 Perhaps you  even think that there are laws which set forth what is God's and what

W1:133.9  deceived, for what the ego wants it fails to recognize. It does not  even tell the truth as it perceives it, for it needs to keep the halo
W1:136.3  of the rapidity with which you choose to use them. In that second,  even less, in which the choice is made, you recognize exactly what
W1:138.4  are confronting you when there is really only one to make. And  even this but seems to be a choice. Do not confuse yourself with all
W1:151.2  you through the body's eyes. Nor do you ask why you believe it,  even though you learned a long while since your senses do deceive.
W1:151.2  That you believe them to the last detail which they report is  even stranger when you pause to recollect how frequently they have

W1:166.9  has touched your shoulder, and you feel that you are not alone. You  even think the miserable self you thought was you may not be your

M:3.5  lesson, they become the saviors of the teachers who falter and may  even seem to fail. No teacher of God can fail to find the Help he
M:4.12  wish to deceive that makes for war. No one at one with himself can  even conceive of conflict. Conflict is the inevitable result of
M:4.20  whom it seemed to happen. Perhaps it was not understood at the time.  Even so, the teacher of God is willing to reconsider all his past

Tx:16.53  over and over this ritual is enacted. And it is never completed nor  ever will be completed. For the ritual of completion cannot complete,
Tx:16.58  unreal. This year is thus the time to make the easiest decision that  ever confronted you and also the only one. You will cross the bridge
Tx:16.81  with You in which there are no illusions and where none can  ever enter. Our holiness is Yours. What can there be in us that needs
Tx:17.7  beautiful those you forgive will look to you? In no fantasy have you  ever seen anything so lovely. Nothing you see here, sleeping or
Tx:17.7  that you remember that made your heart seem to sing with joy has  ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will
Tx:17.9 This step, the smallest  ever taken by anything, is still the greatest accomplishment of all
Tx:17.10  that has been used for learning will have no function. Nothing will  ever change; no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no variations
Tx:17.12  have no meaning. Who awake in Heaven could dream that there could  ever be need of salvation?
Tx:17.21  you. Its loveliness will so attract you that you will be unwilling  ever to lose the sight of it again. And you will let it transform the
Tx:17.24  rest let go. And what is thus let go is all the truth the past could  ever offer to the present as witnesses for its reality, while what is
Tx:17.29  answer with a substitute. Every special relationship which you have  ever undertaken has as its fundamental purpose the aim of occupying
Tx:17.72  there was extended to every situation in which you enter or will  ever enter. And every situation was thus made free of the past, which
Tx:18.4  truth to illusion, infinity to time, and life to death, was all you  ever made. Your whole world rests upon it. Everything you see
Tx:18.4  you see reflects it, and every special relationship which you have  ever made is part of it.
Tx:18.9  as you are with Him. The original error has not entered here, nor  ever will. Here is the radiant truth to which the Holy Spirit has
Tx:18.20 The Holy Spirit,  ever practical in His wisdom, accepts your dreams and uses them as
Tx:18.27  The Will of God is granted you. For you desire the only thing you  ever had or ever were.
Tx:18.27  of God is granted you. For you desire the only thing you ever had or  ever were.
Tx:18.56  you within it, and it within you. There is nothing else, anywhere or  ever.
Tx:19.55  garden where no sound but singing and a softly joyous whispering is  ever heard. This is a feast which honors your holy relationship and
Tx:20.12 Your home has called to you since time began, nor have you  ever failed entirely to hear. You heard but knew not how to look nor
Tx:20.42  instant as a different point in time. It never changes. All that it  ever held or will ever hold is here right now. The past takes nothing
Tx:20.42  point in time. It never changes. All that it ever held or will  ever hold is here right now. The past takes nothing from it, and the
Tx:21.11  the body. You know the ancient song and know it well. Nothing will  ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of love] the Son of
Tx:21.32  where your faith was laid. This is His direction, the only one He  ever sees. And when you wander, He reminds you there is but one. His

Tx:22.9  to you. What needs interpretation must be alien. Nor will it  ever be made understandable by an interpreter you cannot understand.
Tx:22.21  be impossible, and no one undertakes to do what holds no hope of  ever being done. You know what your Creator wills is possible, but
Tx:23.9  that it is impossible God and the ego, or yourself and it, will  ever meet. You seem to meet and make your strange alliances on
Tx:23.54  and wholly shared. They know it is impossible their happiness could  ever suffer change of any kind. Perhaps you think the battleground
Tx:23.54  and a sense of love so deep and quiet that no touch of doubt can  ever mar your certainty? And that will last forever?
Tx:24.5 All that is  ever cherished as a hidden belief, to be defended though
Tx:24.29  you will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can  ever be the same while specialness stands like a flaming sword of
Tx:24.37  by the truth. They will not stand before it. Yet what comfort has  ever been in them that you would keep the gift your Father asks from
Tx:25.12  does despair result. And there is no exception, nor will there  ever be. The only value that the past can hold is that you learn it
Tx:25.13  your choice, while you would seek for hope where none is  ever found.
Tx:25.18  light that shines from it to its Creator. Think not this face was  ever darkened because you saw it in a frame of death. God kept it
Tx:25.36  Heaven. Every leaf that falls is given life in you. Each bird that  ever sang will sing again in you. And every flower that ever bloomed
Tx:25.36  bird that ever sang will sing again in you. And every flower that  ever bloomed has saved its perfume and its loveliness for you. What
Tx:25.52  one belief so deeply valued here were true, then every Thought God  ever had is an illusion. And if but one Thought of His is true, then
Tx:26.21  is truth to him must be brought to the last comparison that he will  ever make, the last evaluation that will be possible, the final
Tx:26.31 Nothing is  ever lost but time, which in the end is [nothing. It] is but a little
Tx:26.32  first. And in that tiny instant time was gone, for that was all it  ever was. What God gave Answer to is answered and is gone.
Tx:26.62  His Kingdom is united—thus it was created, and thus will it  ever be.

Tx:27.81 How willing are you to escape effects of all the dreams the world has  ever had? Is it your wish to let no dream appear to be the cause of

Tx:30.33  consent, as you would have it be. And not one Thought that God has  ever had but waited for your blessing to be born. God is no enemy to
Tx:30.34  is to do your will! For that is freedom. There is nothing else that  ever should be called by freedom's name. Unless you do your will, you

Tx:31.3  the lessons endlessly in every form you could conceive of them could  ever doubt the power of your learning skill. There is no greater

Tx:31.39 Think not that happiness is  ever found by following a road away from it. This makes no sense and

Tx:31.64  world your eyes could never find. Be not concerned how this could  ever be. You do not understand how what you see arose to meet your

W1:68.5  even by ever so little, there will never be a problem in motivation  ever again.
W1:94.1  sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world  ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is salvation
W1:106.4  miracles a thousand times as happy and as wonderful as those you  ever dreamt or wished for in your dreams. His miracles are true. They

W1:121.1  you at every turn and bring uncertainty to all your hopes of  ever finding quietness and peace. Here are all questions answered;
W1:124.6 No miracle can  ever be denied to those who know that they are one with God. No

W1:132.9  indeed your own imagining, then you can loose it from all things you  ever thought it was by merely changing all the thoughts that gave it
W1:132.9  dead arise when you let thoughts of life replace all thoughts you  ever held of death.
W1:132.15 Today our purpose is to free the world from all the idle thoughts we  ever held about it and about all living things we see upon it. They
W1:135.19  did not let you see His loving blessing shine in every step you  ever took. While you made plans for death, He led you gently to
W1:135.26  in the light and joy of simple truth, you will but wonder why you  ever thought that you must be defended from release. Heaven asks
W1:137.10  extend the little help He asks in freeing you from everything that  ever caused you pain. And as you let yourself be healed, you see all
W1:137.16  the Word of God to take the place of all the foolish thoughts that  ever were imagined. Now we come together to make well all that was
W1:152.8  will disappear. What rises to awareness then will be all that there  ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will take the place of
W1:165.2 The Thought of God created you. It left you not, nor have you  ever been apart from It an instant. It belongs to you. By It you
W1:182.3  cannot be made by him. There is no substitute for Heaven. All he  ever made was hell.
W1:185.12  attribute that sets the gifts of God apart from every dream that  ever seemed to take the place of truth.
W1:189.7  bring with you one thought the past has taught nor one belief you  ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, forget this
W1:190.11 And so again we make the only choice that  ever can be made—we choose between illusions and the truth, or pain
W1:195.6  thing and therefore one with Him. And we rejoice that no exceptions  ever can be made which would reduce our wholeness nor impair or
W1:195.10  the way to Him and shorten our learning time by more than you could  ever dream of. Gratitude goes hand in hand with love, and where one
W1:197.9  forgot the function God has given you. But never think that He has  ever ceased to offer thanks to you.
W1:198.6  will save. His words contain all hope, all blessing and all joy that  ever can be found upon this earth. His words are born in God, and
W1:198.13  an instant longer. Then are symbols done and everything you  ever thought you made completely vanished from the mind which God
W2:231.1  have called by many names. Yet is Your Love the only thing I seek or  ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever really want
W2:231.1  thing I seek or ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could  ever really want to find. Let me remember You. What else could I

Tx:13.16  itself. Project it not, for while you do, it cannot be undone. With  everyone whom you release from guilt, great is the joy in Heaven,

Tx:13.81  reconsider. Trust Him to answer quickly, surely, and with love for  everyone who will be touched in any way by the decision. And everyone
Tx:13.81  for everyone who will be touched in any way by the decision. And  everyone will be. Would you take unto yourself the sole

Tx:14.12 Peace, then, be unto  everyone who becomes a teacher of peace. For peace is the
Tx:14.12  purity from which no one is excluded. Within its holy circle is  everyone whom God created as His Son. Joy is its unifying attribute,
Tx:14.12  no one left outside to suffer guilt alone. The power of God draws  everyone to its safe embrace of love and union. Stand quietly within

Tx:14.46  from time to holiness as surely as the reflection of holiness calls  everyone to lay all guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven here and
Tx:14.46  and bring this world to Heaven. For the reflection of truth draws  everyone to truth, and as they enter into it, they leave all

Tx:15.14  to reestablish perfect sanity, perfect peace, and perfect love for  everyone, for God, and for yourself. As long as it takes to remember

Tx:15.65  fully returned. Being complete, it asks nothing. Being wholly pure,  everyone joined in it has everything. This is not the basis for any
Tx:15.81  denied. You are forever in a relationship so holy that it calls to  everyone to escape from loneliness and join you in your love. And
Tx:15.81  from loneliness and join you in your love. And where you are must  everyone seek and find you there.
Tx:15.87  ego has no purpose you would share with it. For the ego would limit  everyone to a body for its purposes, and while you think it has a

Tx:15.94  of Christ is the time appointed for the gift of freedom, offered to  everyone. And by your acceptance of it, you have offered it to
Tx:15.94  to everyone. And by your acceptance of it, you have offered it to  everyone. It is in your power to make this season holy, for it is in
Tx:15.99 You think that  everyone outside yourself demands your sacrifice, but you do not see
Tx:15.103  in healing, and let us celebrate our release together by releasing  everyone with us. Leave nothing behind, for release is total, and
Tx:16.10  difficult because you cannot see how it can be extended to include  everyone. And you have learned that it must include everyone to be
Tx:16.10  to include everyone. And you have learned that it must include  everyone to be holy. Concern yourselves not with the extension of
Tx:16.19 Reality is safe and sure and wholly kind to  everyone and everything. There is no greater love than to accept this
Tx:16.28  and for what He is Who created you as you are. Sooner or later must  everyone bridge the gap which he imagines exists between his selves.
Tx:16.47 To  everyone Heaven is completion. There can be no disagreement on this,
Tx:16.80  all illusions are forgiven. From there the miracle extends to bless  everyone and to resolve all problems, be they perceived as great or
Tx:17.62  sees the situation as a whole. The goal establishes the fact that  everyone involved in it will play his part in its accomplishment.
Tx:17.71  light of truth shines from the center of the situation and touches  everyone to whom the situation's purpose calls. It calls to everyone.
Tx:17.71  touches everyone to whom the situation's purpose calls. It calls to  everyone. There is no situation which does not involve your whole
Tx:18.20  kept it a thing apart, its holiness will become an offering to  everyone.
Tx:18.21 Your special relationship will be a means for undoing guilt in  everyone blessed through your holy relationship. It will be a happy
Tx:18.21  not that He has forgotten you to whom He gave the gift. He uses  everyone who calls on Him as means for the salvation of everyone. And
Tx:18.21  He uses everyone who calls on Him as means for the salvation of  everyone. And He will waken everyone through you who offered your
Tx:18.21  on Him as means for the salvation of everyone. And He will waken  everyone through you who offered your relationship to Him. If you but
Tx:18.29  the darkness to light, and this willingness has given strength to  everyone who would remain in darkness. Those who would see will see.
Tx:18.58  only by Him. What limit can there be on you whom He encompasses?  Everyone has experienced what he would call a sense of being
Tx:18.68 Here is the ultimate release which  everyone will one day find in his own way, at his own time. We do not

Tx:19.1  its only goal is brought to truth by faith. This faith encompasses  everyone involved, for only thus the situation is perceived as
Tx:19.1  thus the situation is perceived as meaningful and as a whole. And  everyone must be involved in it, or else your faith is limited and
Tx:19.11  is the acknowledgment of union. It is the gracious acknowledgment of  everyone as a Son of your most loving Father, loved by Him like you
Tx:19.11  healed because you looked on what makes faith forever justified in  everyone.
Tx:19.37  And you will carry its message of love and safety and freedom to  everyone who draws nigh unto your temple, where healing waits for him.

Tx:19.40  the whole creation, it must begin with you and from you reach to  everyone who calls and bring him rest by joining you.
Tx:19.41  alone. Christ asks it of you for Himself. He would bring peace to  everyone, and how can He do this except through you? Would you let a
Tx:19.44  But let Him quietly extend the miracle of your relationship to  everyone contained in it, as it was given.
Tx:19.55  This is a feast which honors your holy relationship and at which  everyone is welcomed as an honored guest. And in a holy instant,
Tx:19.55  as an honored guest. And in a holy instant, grace is said by  everyone together as they join in gentleness before the table of
Tx:19.66  of guilt, and all the world will answer. Think of your happiness as  everyone offers you witness of the end of sin and shows you that its
Tx:19.87  see in it the Will of God. Here is the babe of Bethlehem reborn. And  everyone who gives him shelter will follow him, not to the cross, but
Tx:19.99  is it possible to look on this too soon. This is the place to which  everyone must come when he is ready. Once he has found his brother,

Tx:20.38  is far beyond it. Two voices raised together call to the hearts of  everyone and let them beat as one. And in that single heart beat is
Tx:20.38  the unity of the Son of God together. You give to one another for  everyone, and in your gift is everyone made glad. Forget not Who has
Tx:20.38  together. You give to one another for everyone, and in your gift is  everyone made glad. Forget not Who has given you the gifts you give,
Tx:21.12  in all. And when you see it in each other, you are remembering for  everyone.
Tx:21.23  to you to welcome it or not. Faith and desire go hand in hand, for  everyone believes in what he wants.
Tx:21.66  What madness would conceal, the Holy Spirit still holds out for  everyone to look upon with gladness.
Tx:22.9  no difficulty in understanding what this vision tells you, for  everyone sees only what he thinks he is. And what your sight would
Tx:22.42  you walk the world with me, whose message has not yet been given to  everyone. For you are here to let it be received. God's offer still
Tx:22.43  His message of hope and freedom and release from suffering to  everyone who needs a miracle to save him.
Tx:22.44 How easy is it to offer this miracle to  everyone! No one who has received it for himself could find it
Tx:22.59  given Him to make each little gift of love a source of healing for  everyone. Each little gift you offer to the other lights up the
Tx:23.20 The first chaotic law is that the truth is different for  everyone. Like all these principles, this one maintains that each is
Tx:23.43  and give up the rest. Salvation gives up nothing. It is complete for  everyone. Let the idea of compromise but enter, and the awareness of
Tx:24.46  and of death. He reaches through them, holding out His hand that  everyone may bless all living things and see their holiness. And He
Tx:24.62 How bitterly does  everyone tied to this world defend the specialness he wants to be the
Tx:25.20  along with His. The gratitude of God Himself is freely offered to  everyone who shares His purpose. It is not His Will to be alone. And
Tx:25.27  your error, lest you remain in darkness where the lamps are not.  Everyone here has entered darkness, yet no one has entered it alone.
Tx:25.32  seek for it because it is their purpose to behold it and rejoice.  Everyone seeks for what will bring him joy as he defines it. It is
Tx:25.35  can never fall away and leave you homeless. Those who offer peace to  everyone have found a home in Heaven the world cannot destroy. For it
Tx:25.40  offers you salvation. Condemned by you, he offers death to you. In  everyone you see but the reflection of what you chose to have him be
Tx:25.50  Heaven, and as strong as God Himself. The world is safe from love to  everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor will it change. Yet is it
Tx:25.57  One as sane as He to raise a saner world to meet the sight of  everyone who chose insanity as his salvation. To this One is given
Tx:25.61  is rebirth of the idea no one can lose for anyone to gain. And  everyone must gain if anyone would be a gainer. Here is sanity
Tx:25.66  But justice does He know and knows it well. For He is wholly fair to  everyone.
Tx:25.76  How can the special really understand that justice is the same for  everyone? To take from one to give another must be an injustice to
Tx:25.79  Him. Yet would His justice not be satisfied until it is received by  everyone.
Tx:25.83  And what would be unjust to him cannot occur. Healing must be for  everyone because he does not merit an attack of any kind. What order
Tx:25.84  to specialness. What He cannot perceive He bears no witness to. And  everyone is equally entitled to His gift of healing and deliverance
Tx:25.85  it not. Only forgiveness offers miracles. And pardon must be just to  everyone.
Tx:25.86  must be done to all if anyone is to be healed. No one can lose, and  everyone must benefit.
Tx:25.87  is an example of what justice can accomplish when it is offered to  everyone alike. It is received and given equally. It is awareness
Tx:25.87  it sees no differences where none exist. And thus it is the same for  everyone, because it sees no differences in them. Its offering is
Tx:25.88 What is God's belongs to  everyone and is his due.
Tx:26.15  on him. Nor will the Holy Spirit be content until it is received by  everyone. For what you give to Him is everyone's, and by your giving
Tx:26.15  give to Him is everyone's, and by your giving it can He ensure that  everyone receives it equally.
Tx:26.67 Your ancient name belongs to  everyone, as theirs to you. Call on your brother's name and God will
Tx:27.4  if only it can serve to punish him. The sick are merciless to  everyone, and in contagion do they seek to kill. Death seems an easy
Tx:29.6  know what loving means. And so you must misuse each circumstance and  everyone you meet and see in them a purpose not your own.
Tx:29.13  healed when you accept your gifts, because your Guest will welcome  everyone whose feet have touched the holy ground whereon you stand
Tx:29.68  dreamed by someone else. And in these dreams a melody is heard which  everyone remembers, though he has not heard it since before all time
Tx:29.70  to worship idols and to keep attack. Forgiving dreams are kind to  everyone who figures in the dream. And so they bring the dreamer full
Tx:30.59  quite remembered, for the purpose of forgiveness still remains. Yet  everyone is certain he will go beyond forgiveness, and he but remains
Tx:30.75  for you. What can this be except a false forgiveness of yourself and  everyone who seems apart from you?
Tx:30.85  experiences here. In this shared purpose is one [meaning] shared by  everyone and everything you see. You do not have to judge, for you
Tx:31.8  the call was made. And you will understand it was this call that  everyone and everything within the world has always made, but you had
Tx:31.33  death a little time is given you to use for you alone, a time when  everyone conflicts with you, but you can choose which road will lead
Tx:31.35  offer seem to be quite large in number, but the time must come when  everyone begins to see how like they are to one another. Men have
Tx:31.56  the self has always been the great preoccupation of the world. And  everyone believes that he must find the answer to the riddle of
Tx:31.75  vision does he see the face of Christ and understands he looks on  everyone as he beholds this One. For there is light where darkness
Tx:31.77  as this has saved himself, and thus is he a savior to the rest. To  everyone has God entrusted all, because a partial savior would be one
Tx:31.77  saved. The holy ones whom God has given each of you to save are  everyone you meet or look upon, not knowing who they are, all those
Tx:31.78  and thus expect to see it everywhere. And so they call it forth in  everyone they look upon that he may be what they expect of him. This
Tx:31.93  before your feet the peace of God and power to bring this peace to  everyone who wanders in the world uncertain, lonely, and in constant
Tx:31.93  that you saw before. Yet this a vision is which you must share with  everyone you see, for otherwise you will behold it not. To give this
Tx:31.94  For you will hear, and you will choose again. And in this choice is  everyone made free.
W1:37.1  blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone;  everyone gains through your holy vision. It signifies the end of
W1:37.1  holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because it offers  everyone his full due. And he is entitled to everything because it is

W1:52.3  When I have forgiven myself and remembered who I am, I will bless  everyone and everything I see. There will be no past and therefore no

W1:58.3  the world. The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone.  Everyone and everything I see in its light shares in the joy it

W1:58.5  my holiness, nothing can make me afraid. And because I am unafraid,  everyone must share in my understanding, which is the gift of God to
W1:60.4  can see it! It will not look anything like what I imagine I see now.  Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I will

W1:71.3  change of mind that is necessary for salvation is thus demanded of  everyone and everything except yourself.

Tx:10.12  not know what it is. The reason you must ask what God's Will is in  everything is merely because it is yours. You do not know what it is,
Tx:10.44  and its purpose is always the natural extension of what it is.  Everything that stems from the ego is the natural outcome of its
Tx:10.53  clearly the characteristically contradictory approach of the ego to  everything. Never forget that the ego believes that power,
Tx:10.53  with the conviction that separation is salvation, the ego attacks  everything it perceives by breaking it up into small and disconnected
Tx:10.58  of the reality of the kingdom you have chosen for your vigilance.  Everything you perceive is a witness to the thought system you want
Tx:10.64  that it represents what you want to be. The freedom to leave behind  everything that hurts you and humbles you and frightens you cannot be
Tx:10.69  the world is not as you see it. God created only the eternal, and  everything you see is perishable. Therefore, there must be another
Tx:10.71  believing what you made to be capable of being unlike Him. Yet  everything in what you have made that is true is like Him. Only this
Tx:10.75 And then  everything you made will be forgotten, the good and the bad, the
Tx:10.76  willingness to learn of Him depends on your willingness to question  everything you have learned of yourself, for you who have learned
Tx:10.81  what is yours and will take nothing in return. For what is yours is  everything, and you share it with God. This is its reality. Would the
Tx:11.3  no effort at all on your part. Every loving thought is true.  Everything else is an appeal for healing and help. That is what it
Tx:11.10  taught you to accept only loving thoughts in others and to regard  everything else as an appeal for help, He has taught you that fear is
Tx:11.23  planned program aimed at learning how to offer to the Holy Spirit  everything you do not want. He knows what to do with it. You do not
Tx:11.30  intolerable. Therefore the mind projects the split, not the reality.  Everything you perceive as the outside world is merely your attempt
Tx:11.32  see the world of death. For death is not of the real world, in which  everything is eternal. God gave you the real world in exchange for
Tx:11.41  and a very heavy one. If death is your treasure, you will sell  everything else to purchase it. And you will believe that you have
Tx:11.41  you will believe that you have purchased it because you have sold  everything else. Yet you cannot sell the Kingdom of Heaven. Your
Tx:11.52  end are in complete accord. You need offer only undivided attention.  Everything else will be given you. For it is your will to learn
Tx:11.59  becomes generalized. Gradually you learn to apply it to everyone and  everything, for its applicability is universal. When this has been
Tx:11.60  of God. For the real world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where  everything eternal in it has always been. There the Redeemer and the
Tx:11.73  within, for you will see it without because you saw it first within.  Everything you behold without is a judgment of what you beheld
Tx:11.80  every question you ask, and a Vision will correct the perception of  everything you see. For what you have made invisible is the only
Tx:11.82  Everything you made has never been and is invisible because the Holy
Tx:11.84  it from the hand of Christ and look upon it. Its reality will make  everything else invisible, for beholding it is total perception. And
Tx:11.92  time, where you must be because He is with you. He has always undone  everything unworthy of the Son of God, for such was His mission,
Tx:12.21 In peace he needed nothing and asked for nothing. In war he demanded  everything and found nothing. For how could the gentleness of love
Tx:12.36  go. And so they separate into their private worlds, where  everything is disordered and where what is within appears to be
Tx:12.50  is before time was and will be when time is no more. In it is  everything that is eternal, and they are one. Their continuity is
Tx:12.55  world is bright with love, which you have given it. And here will  everything remind you of your Father and His Holy Son. Light is
Tx:12.65  him. He is as safe from pain as God Himself, Who watches over him in  everything. The world about him shines with love because God placed
Tx:12.69  Everything that the ego tells you that you need will hurt you. For
Tx:12.70  from you as long as you have any need of it. And yet He knows that  everything you need is temporary and will but last until you step
Tx:13.1  mean anything to it. It knows that it is everywhere, just as it has  everything, and forever.
Tx:13.2  everywhere under His guidance, for the vision of Christ beholds  everything in light. Yet no perception, however holy, will last
Tx:13.3  will replace aspects of unreality. Aspects of reality can be seen in  everything and everywhere. Yet only God can gather them together by
Tx:13.4  of timelessness in time, and that is why Christ's vision looks on  everything with love. Yet even Christ's vision is not His reality.
Tx:13.14 Atonement brings a re-evaluation of  everything you cherish, for it is the means by which the Holy Spirit
Tx:13.37  or not. To value it partially is not to know its value. In Heaven is  everything God valued and nothing else. Heaven is perfectly
Tx:13.37  God valued and nothing else. Heaven is perfectly unambiguous.  Everything is clear and bright and calls forth one response. There is
Tx:13.45 The Holy Spirit cannot fail to undo for you  everything you have learned that teaches you what is not true must be
Tx:13.50  direct your thoughts unto oblivion. And if you have and give and are  everything, and all this has been denied, your thought system is
Tx:13.51  logic, there is One Who knows it leads to nothing, for He knows  everything.
Tx:13.58 The truth is true. Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and  everything beside it is not there. Let Me make the one distinction
Tx:13.60  Learn to be happy learners. You will never learn how to make nothing  everything. Yet see that this has been your goal and recognize how
Tx:13.61 If you would be a happy learner, you must give  everything that you have learned over to the Holy Spirit to be
Tx:13.63  of Christ is given the very instant that it is perceived. Where  everything is clear, it is all holy. The quietness of its simplicity
Tx:13.63  there is nothing else. God is everywhere, and His Son is in Him with  everything. Can he sing the dirge of sorrow when this is true?
Tx:13.75  is all that you alone can offer yourself, when He Who gives you  everything will simply offer it to you? He will never ask what you
Tx:13.75  Instead, accept His answer, for He knows that you are worthy of  everything God wills for you. Do not try to escape the gift of God
Tx:13.76  His Son? Nothing can shake God's conviction of the perfect purity of  everything that He created, for it is wholly pure. Do not decide
Tx:13.76  about what it is or where it lies, but ask of the Holy Spirit  everything and leave all decisions to His gentle counsel.
Tx:13.77  your innocence, which sets you free. And it is His decision to undo  everything that would obscure your innocence from your unclouded mind.
Tx:13.81  is yours because your Father would have you share it with Him. In  everything be led by Him and do not reconsider. Trust Him to answer
Tx:13.82  Creator. Yet you remain in close communication with Him and with  everything that is within Him, as it is within yourself. Unlearn
Tx:14.4  Holy Spirit can answer God for you, for only He knows what God is.  Everything else that you have placed within your mind cannot exist,
Tx:14.5  and return quietly to Heaven. There is nothing of value here and  everything of value there. Listen to the Holy Spirit and to God
Tx:14.14  you restore becomes your altar, for it was rebuilt through you. And  everything you give to God is yours. Thus He creates, and thus must
Tx:14.15  into it by blessing him. Holiness must be shared, for therein lies  everything that makes it holy. Come gladly to the holy circle, and
Tx:14.18  of love remains, for only this has meaning and can live in light.  Everything else must disappear.
Tx:14.22  lead to unintelligibility. Yet if one means nothing and the other  everything, only that one is possible for purposes of communication.
Tx:14.24  your mind, and they are reconciled by union, as you are. In union,  everything that is not real must disappear, for truth is union. As
Tx:14.25 The search for truth is but the honest searching out of  everything that interferes with truth. Truth is. It can be neither
Tx:14.29 Defenses, like  everything you made, must be gently turned to your own good,
Tx:14.31  yours, comes not from double vision but from the gentle fusing of  everything into one meaning, one emotion, and one purpose. God has
Tx:14.33 He shares it still, for you.  Everything that promises otherwise, great or small, however much or
Tx:14.36  can change the knowledge given you by God into unknowingness.  Everything God created knows its Creator. For this is how creation is
Tx:14.40 Merely by being what it is does truth release you from  everything that it is not. The Atonement is so gentle you need but
Tx:14.41  Holiness by Which it was created.] The Presence of Holiness lives in  everything that lives, for Holiness created life and leaves not what
Tx:14.51  The power of God is limitless. And being always maximal, it offers  everything to every call from anyone. There is no order of difficulty
Tx:14.52  are much too confused either to recognize love or to believe that  everything else is nothing but a need for love. You are too bound to
Tx:14.56  so you can understand them. God has no secret communications, for  everything of Him is perfectly open and freely accessible to all,
Tx:14.58  so much between it and your awareness of it that you cannot use it.  Everything you have taught yourselves has made your power more and
Tx:14.60 Atonement teaches you how to escape forever from  everything that you have taught yourselves in the past by showing you
Tx:14.64  be concerned how you can learn a lesson so completely different from  everything you have taught yourselves. How would you know? Your part
Tx:14.64  you know? Your part is very simple. You need only recognize that  everything you learned you do not want. Ask to be taught and do not
Tx:14.72  always that they know nothing, but who have become willing to learn  everything, will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they
Tx:15.22  You offered this in place of magnitude, and you accepted it.  Everything in this world is little because it is a world made out of
Tx:15.26  His power. God is not willing that His Son be content with less than  everything. For He is not content without His Son, and His Son cannot
Tx:15.32  content with nothing but His Will. Accept no less, remembering that  everything I learned is yours. What my Father loves, I love as He
Tx:15.40  It therefore seeks to change nothing, but merely to accept  everything.
Tx:15.42  I want to have perfect communication, and am I wholly willing to let  everything that interferes with it go forever?” If the answer is no,
Tx:15.65  it asks nothing. Being wholly pure, everyone joined in it has  everything. This is not the basis for any relationship in which the
Tx:15.79  far beyond time. For a teaching assignment such as His, He must use  everything in this world for your release. He must side with every

Tx:15.108  is nowhere and love is everywhere. For communication embraces  everything, and in the peace it re-establishes, love comes of itself.
Tx:16.8  and not yours. He will not meet them secretly, for He would share  everything you give through Him. And that is why He gives it.
Tx:16.19 Reality is safe and sure and wholly kind to everyone and  everything. There is no greater love than to accept this and be glad.
Tx:16.19  and be glad. For love asks only that you be happy and will give you  everything that makes for happiness. You have never given any problem
Tx:16.24  effect relationship that is perfectly apparent. Yet within you is  everything you taught. What can it be that has not learned it? It
Tx:16.31  something else, and the symbol of love is without meaning if love is  everything. You will go through this last undoing quite unharmed and
Tx:16.31  but its reality, which awaits you on the other side, will give you  everything.
Tx:16.38  in the bleak world of illusion, where nothing is certain, and where  everything fails to satisfy. In the Name of God, be wholly willing to
Tx:16.45  world is the opposite of Heaven, being made to be its opposite, and  everything here takes a direction exactly opposite of what is true.
Tx:16.64  more than a transition in your perspective of reality. On this side,  everything you see is grossly distorted and completely out of
Tx:16.72  It is completely savage and completely insane. For the ego remembers  everything that you have done which offended it and seeks retribution
Tx:16.75  stillness and the peace of now enfolds you in perfect gentleness.  Everything is gone except the truth.
Tx:16.77  reminder that His Son will always be exactly as he was created. And  everything the Holy Spirit teaches you is to remind you that you have
Tx:17.5  which must imprison you. There is no order in reality because  everything there is true.
Tx:17.8  not a fantasy. It is the real world, bright and clean and new with  everything sparkling under the open sun. Nothing is hidden here, for
Tx:17.8  everything sparkling under the open sun. Nothing is hidden here, for  everything has been forgiven, and there are no fantasies to hide the
Tx:17.10  Perception will be meaningless when it has been perfected, for  everything that has been used for learning will have no function.
Tx:17.30  it to be healed. This blessing holds within itself the truth about  everything. And the truth is that the Holy Spirit is in close
Tx:17.42  to the Father by giving Him ascendance in our minds. We will gain  everything by giving Him the power and the glory and keeping no
Tx:17.43  is the expression of the holy instant in living in this world. Like  everything about salvation, the holy instant is a practical device,
Tx:17.60  with the accomplishment of your objective and concentrate on  everything which helps you meet it. It is quite noticeable that this
Tx:18.2  what God has joined and what the Holy Spirit sees as one. But  everything seems to come between the fragmented relationships the ego
Tx:18.4  to death, was all you ever made. Your whole world rests upon it.  Everything you see reflects it, and every special relationship which
Tx:18.6  is conceivable. Do you really think it strange that a world in which  everything is backwards and upside-down arose from this? [It was
Tx:18.9 In your relationship, where He has taken charge of  everything at your request, He has set the course inward to the truth
Tx:18.16  on awakening, you do not expect it to be gone. In dreams you arrange  everything. People become what you would have them be, and what they
Tx:18.31  away the past and so make room for His eternal Presence, in which  everything is radiant in the light.
Tx:18.40 Forget not that it has been your decision to make  everything that is natural and easy for you impossible. What you
Tx:18.40  belief in orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this.  Everything God wills is not only possible but has already happened.
Tx:18.56  it has no limits, and there is nothing outside it. [It encompasses  everything.] It encompasses you entirely; you within it, and it
Tx:18.71  Can you who see yourselves within a body know yourself as an idea?  Everything you recognize you identify with externals, something
Tx:18.75  things but by no means totally dependent on their one Creator for  everything and needing the whole to give them any meaning, for by
Tx:18.78 Love knows no bodies and reaches to  everything created like itself. Its total lack of limit is its
Tx:18.81  love only what it offers everyone, neither less nor more. Asking for  everything, you will receive it. And your shining Self will lift the
Tx:18.87  Everything these messages relay to you is quite external. There are
Tx:18.93  here you have forgiven everyone. Here is the new perception, where  everything is bright and shining with innocence, washed in the waters
Tx:18.96  of you and yours of Him so far transcend all learning that  everything you learned is meaningless, replaced forever by the
Tx:19.22  be said the ego made its world on sin. Only in such a world could  everything be upside-down. This is the strange illusion which makes
Tx:19.22  in place by just this strange device. As truth it is inviolate, and  everything is brought to it for judgment. As a mistake, it must be
Tx:19.29  must have been broken. Yet at the line, its wholeness is apparent.  Everything seen from the spiral is misperceived, but as you approach
Tx:19.47  Its seeming stability is its pervasive weakness, which extends to  everything. The variability which the little remnant induces merely
Tx:19.88  but must be sought in what they represent. And they may thus mean  everything or nothing, according to the truth or falsity of the idea
Tx:19.90  you would remember your Father. The Creator of life, the Source of  everything that lives, the Father of the universe and of the universe
Tx:19.90  the Father of the universe and of the universe of universes and of  everything that lies even beyond them would you remember. And as this
Tx:20.9  but only lilies, gleaming in the gentle glow of peace that shines on  everything He looks upon and loves.
Tx:20.28  Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives  everything to God, Who has already given and received all that is
Tx:20.36  before you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless of  everything except the only purpose that you would fulfill. As that
Tx:20.42  nothing from it, and the future will add no more. Here, then, is  everything. Here is the loveliness of your relationship, with means
Tx:20.72  Everything looked upon with vision falls gently into place according
Tx:20.72  to the laws brought to it by His calm and certain sight. The end for  everything He looks upon is always sure. For it will meet His
Tx:20.72  sin, unable to overlook it in any form and seeing it everywhere, in  everything. Look through its eyes, and everything will stand
Tx:20.72  and seeing it everywhere, in everything. Look through its eyes, and  everything will stand condemned before you. All that could save you,
Tx:21.1  And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is meaningless.  Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy. Nothing
Tx:21.6  that or nothing. They hate the world they learned through pain. And  everything they think is in it serves to remind them that they are
Tx:21.10 Beyond the body, beyond the sun and stars, past  everything you see and yet somehow familiar, is an arc of golden
Tx:21.10  is in it is no longer contained at all. The light expands and covers  everything, extending to infinity, forever shining and with no break
Tx:21.10  forever shining and with no break or limit anywhere. Within it  everything is joined in perfect continuity. Nor is it possible to
Tx:21.13  the little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit for which He gives you  everything; the very little on which salvation rests; the tiny change
Tx:21.15  I experience, and I decided on the goal I would achieve. And  everything that seems to happen to me, I asked for and received as I
Tx:21.18  it, and you keep the world as now you see it. Give it away, and  everything you see goes with it. Never was so much given for so
Tx:21.28  “proves” otherwise, and you deny your whole reality. But grant that  everything which seems to stand between you, keeping you from each
Tx:21.87  Sure in its vision as its Creator is in what He knows, it looks on  everything and sees it is the same. It sees not the ephemeral, for it
Tx:21.87  sees it is the same. It sees not the ephemeral, for it desires that  everything be like itself and sees it so. Nothing has power to
Tx:22.9 Your sight was given you, along with  everything that you can understand. You will perceive no difficulty
Tx:22.18  way to the eternal. Only the timeless must remain unchanged, but  everything in time can change with time. Yet if the change be real
Tx:22.32  it does not recognize and does not know if it is there or not.  Everything which the body's eyes can see is a mistake, an error in
Tx:22.33  form of nothing. To this distorted form of vision, the outside of  everything, the wall that stands between you and the truth, is wholly
Tx:22.42  from harm. And each will be the other's strong protector from  everything that seems to rise between you. So shall you walk the
Tx:22.45  the strong ones in this seeming conflict. And you need no defense.  Everything that needs defense you do not want, for anything that
Tx:22.48  sings as one? Which is the stronger? Is it this tiny mouse or  everything that God created? You are not joined together by this
Tx:22.56  love all that He loves. And what you bring is your remembrance of  everything that is eternal. No trace of anything in time can long
Tx:23.2  indeed becomes this war against yourself! You will believe that  everything you use for sin can hurt you and become your enemy. And
Tx:23.3  they see is harmful, for their awareness of the truth releases  everything from the illusion of harmfulness. And what seemed harmful
Tx:23.6  given you. In kind forgiveness will the world sparkle and shine and  everything you once thought sinful now will be reinterpreted as part
Tx:23.16  him. Illusions have no place where love abides, protecting you from  everything that is not true. You dwell in peace as limitless as its
Tx:23.16  is not true. You dwell in peace as limitless as its Creator, and  everything is given those who would remember Him. Over His home the
Tx:23.55  of battle. What could they gain but loss of their perfection? For  everything fought for on the battleground is of the body—something
Tx:23.55  something it seems to offer or to own. No one who knows that he has  everything could seek for limitation, nor could he value the body's
Tx:23.55  from the quiet sphere above the battleground. What can conflict with  everything? And what is there that offers less, yet could be wanted
Tx:24.2  each decision you make. For a decision is a conclusion based on  everything that you believe. It is the outcome of belief and follows
Tx:24.3  the smallest gift is not to know love's purpose. Love offers  everything forever. Hold back but one belief, one offering, and love
Tx:24.21  Him, and your brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of  everything including you.
Tx:24.29  is safe, resting on Him. It is your specialness that is attacked by  everything that walks and breathes or creeps or crawls or even lives
Tx:24.34  in anyone except yourself. Faith is invested in yourself alone.  Everything else becomes your enemy—feared and attacked, deadly and
Tx:24.37  and your treasure house barren and empty with an open door inviting  everything that would disturb your peace to enter and destroy.
Tx:24.53  is made, not of itself, but through the Voice that speaks for God in  everything that lives and shares His Being.
Tx:24.54  that eyes which see can look upon. It is His loveliness they see in  everything. And it is He they look for everywhere and find no sight
Tx:24.63  alone. What is within your brother still contains all of creation,  everything created and creating, born and unborn as yet, still in the
Tx:24.67 The test of  everything on earth is simply this: “What is it for?” The answer
Tx:25.43 The grace of God rests gently on forgiving eyes, and  everything they look on speaks of Him to the beholder. He can see no
Tx:25.49  be perfectly fulfilled in both of you. Do this one thing, that  everything be given you.
Tx:25.54  to death and cruelty, to separation, and to differences. For here is  everything perceived as one, and no one loses that each one may gain.
Tx:25.55 Test  everything that you believe against this one requirement. And
Tx:25.55  that you believe against this one requirement. And understand that  everything that meets this one demand is worthy of your faith. But
Tx:25.73 To him who merits  everything, how can it be that anything be kept from him? For that
Tx:25.76  to both. Who would have more or less is not aware that he has  everything. He is no judge of what must be another's due, because he
Tx:25.86  removed for you. And so they gather dust and grow until they cover  everything that you perceive and leave you fair to no one. Not one
Tx:26.3  you alone. And for this little to belong to you are limits placed on  everything outside, just as they are on everything you think is
Tx:26.3  to you are limits placed on everything outside, just as they are on  everything you think is yours. For giving and receiving are the same.
Tx:26.17  He cannot be unjust to anyone or anything because He knows that  everything that is belongs to Him and will forever be as He created
Tx:26.18  choosing be a necessary step in the advance toward oneness. What is  everything leaves room for nothing else.
Tx:26.19  is every thought made pure and wholly simple. Here is sin denied and  everything that is received instead.
Tx:26.26  of Heaven. There is no sadness, and there is no parting here, for  everything is totally forgiven. And what has been forgiven must join,
Tx:26.27  What is Heaven but a song of gratitude and love and praise by  everything created to the Source of its creation? The holiest of
Tx:26.32  mind, with no effect upon eternity. And so is all time passed and  everything exactly as it was before the way to nothingness was made.
Tx:26.37  is a voice that calls out from a past forever more gone by. And  everything which points to it as real is but a wish that what is gone
Tx:26.38  to see the past and put it in the present? You can not go back. And  everything that points the way in the direction of the past but sets
Tx:26.57 What is the Will of God? He wills His Son have  everything. And this He guaranteed when He created him as everything.
Tx:26.57  Son have everything. And this He guaranteed when He created him as  everything. It is impossible that anything be lost if what you have
Tx:26.58  much but far too little. He would sacrifice his own identity with  everything to find a little treasure of his own. And this he cannot
Tx:26.61  still demands that he must make some sacrifice and thus denies that  everything is his, unlimited by loss of any kind. A tiny sacrifice is
Tx:26.66  will save them all, for what is one can have no specialness. And  everything belongs to each of them. No wishes lie between a brother
Tx:26.73  they may not come, although already there? You have been told that  everything brings good that comes from God. And yet it seems as if
Tx:26.87  not yourself. Projection of the cause of sacrifice is at the root of  everything perceived to be unfair and not your just deserts. Yet it
Tx:27.5  you have sent your brother you have looked upon in grief. And  everything that it has shown to him have you believed because it
Tx:27.16  you will believe. The power of witness comes from your belief. And  everything you say or do or think but testifies to what you teach to
Tx:27.32  Nothing points beyond the truth, for what can stand for more than  everything? Yet true undoing must be kind. And so the first
Tx:27.49 Thus is your healing  everything the world requires that it may be healed. It needs one
Tx:27.68 Once you were unaware of what the cause of  everything the world appeared to thrust upon you, uninvited and
Tx:28.18  because of what he is. The cause of healing is the only Cause of  everything. It has but one effect. And in that recognition,
Tx:28.66  upon your brother's health, upon his happiness, his sinlessness, and  everything his Father promised him. No secret promise you have made
Tx:29.14 You do not see how much you now can give because of  everything you have received. Yet He Who entered in but waits for you
Tx:29.19  love, or look upon it as a thing you hate. For if He be the sum of  everything, then what is not in Him does not exist, and His
Tx:29.44  outside of himself that will bring happiness and peace to him. If  everything is in him, this cannot be so. And therefore by his coming,
Tx:29.44  he denies the truth about himself and seeks for something more than  everything, as if a part of it were separated off and found where all
Tx:29.58  be except His Will. Nothing and nowhere must an idol be while God is  everything and everywhere.
Tx:29.64  to move about and talk and think and feel and speak for them. Yet  everything their toys appear to do is in the minds of those who play
Tx:30.33  Kingdom up alone. And Heaven itself but represents your will, where  everything created is for you. No spark of life but was created with
Tx:30.35  birth. Remember He Who has created you and through your will created  everything. Not one created thing but gives you thanks, for it is by
Tx:30.38  limiting, is all attained. It is as if you said, “I have no need of  everything. This little thing I want, and it will be as everything to
Tx:30.38  no need of everything. This little thing I want, and it will be as  everything to me.” And this must fail to satisfy because it is your
Tx:30.38  to me.” And this must fail to satisfy because it is your will that  everything be yours. Decide for idols, and you ask for loss. Decide
Tx:30.38  yours. Decide for idols, and you ask for loss. Decide for truth, and  everything is yours.
Tx:30.60  prepared to be himself, and to remember that the Son of God knows  everything his Father understands and understands it perfectly with

Tx:30.85  not have to judge, for you have learned one meaning has been given  everything, and you are glad to see it everywhere. It cannot change
Tx:30.86  And nothing in the world can be opposed to it, for it belongs to  everything as it belongs to you. In single purpose is the end of all

Tx:31.56  different thoughts have different consequence. So it can learn that  everything it thinks reflects the deep confusion that it feels about
Tx:31.74  so that you behold nothing with clarity. The light is kept from  everything you see. At most, you glimpse a shadow of what lies
Tx:31.86  given it no power. And the light of Christ in you is given charge of  everything you do. For you have brought your weakness unto Him, and

W1:I.3  of these exercises is to train the mind to a different perception of  everything in the world. The workbook is divided into two sections,
W1:I.4  one applies to every situation in which you find yourself and to  everything you see in it. Each day's exercises are planned around one
W1:I.4  exercises will always be to increase the application of the idea to  everything. This will not require effort. Only be sure that you make
W1:1.5  day, use it totally indiscriminately. Do not attempt to apply it to  everything you see, for these exercises should not become
W1:2.1  concentrate on anything in particular, and do not attempt to include  everything in an area or you will introduce strain. Merely glance
W1:7.3 It is the reason why you have given  everything you see all the meaning that it has for you.
W1:7.8 Old ideas about time are very difficult to change because  everything you believe is rooted in time and depends on your not
W1:14.1  world is impossible. What God did not create does not exist. And  everything that does exist exists as He created it. The world you see
W1:16.1  step in dispelling the belief that your thoughts have no effect.  Everything you see is the result of your thoughts. There is no
W1:22.2  to find that you can escape? You made what you would destroy— everything that you hate and would attack and kill. All that you fear
W1:23.1  only way out of fear that will ever succeed. Nothing else will work;  everything else is meaningless. But this way cannot fail. Every
W1:23.3 The world you see is a vengeful world, and  everything in it is a symbol of vengeance. Each of your perceptions
W1:23.4  see when its cause is gone? Vision already holds a replacement for  everything you think you see now. Loveliness can light your images
W1:25.1  You do not know what it is for. Therefore it is meaningless to you.  Everything is for your own best interests. That is what it is for;
W1:25.2 You perceive the world and  everything in it as meaningful in terms of ego goals. These goals
W1:25.5  learning to be willing to give up the goals you have established for  everything. The recognition that they are meaningless, rather than
W1:30.3  looking about you and trying to realize that the idea applies to  everything you do see now or could see now if it were within the
W1:37.1  because it offers everyone his full due. And he is entitled to  everything because it is his birthright as a Son of God.
W1:38.2  it is equal in its power to save anyone. If you are holy, so is  everything God created. You are holy because all things He created
W1:41.2  despite the serious and tragic forms it may take. Deep within you is  everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into
W1:44.5  is very simple. While you practice in this form, you leave behind  everything that you now believe and all the thoughts which you have
W1:45.10  Everything that you have thought since then will change, but the
W1:50.1  and throughout time. In this world, you believe you are sustained by  everything but God. Your faith is placed in the most trivial and
W1:51.3  I have given what I see all the meaning it has for me. I have judged  everything I look upon. And it is this and only this that I see. This
W1:51.6  attacks are warranted. I have not realized how much I have misused  everything I see by assigning this role to it. I have done this to
W1:52.3  look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the past against everyone and  everything, making them my “enemies.” When I have forgiven myself and
W1:52.3  forgiven myself and remembered who I am, I will bless everyone and  everything I see. There will be no past and therefore no “enemies.”
W1:53.5  exist if God did not create it? He is the Source of all meaning, and  everything that is real is in His Mind. It is in my mind too because
W1:54.4  of nothing. I can also call upon my real thoughts, which share  everything with everybody. As my thoughts of separation call to the
W1:54.5  in experiencing the effects of my thoughts. I am alone in nothing.  Everything I think or say or do touches all the universe. A Son of
W1:55.3  the representation of loving thoughts. It is a picture of attack on  everything by everything. It is anything but a reflection of the Love
W1:55.3  of loving thoughts. It is a picture of attack on everything by  everything. It is anything but a reflection of the Love of God and
W1:55.6 [25] I do not know what anything is for. To me, the purpose of  everything is to prove that my illusions about myself are real. It is
W1:55.6  are real. It is for that purpose that I attempt to use everyone and  everything. It is this that I believe the world is for. Therefore I
W1:56.5 [29] God is in  everything I see. Behind every image I have made, the truth remains
W1:56.5  united with the Will of my Father. God is still everywhere and in  everything forever. And we who are part of Him will yet look past all
W1:56.6 [30] God is in  everything I see because God is in my mind. In my own mind, behind
W1:57.4  I ascribed to it, there must be another way of looking at it. I see  everything upside down, and my thoughts are the opposite of truth. I
W1:58.2 [36] My holiness envelops  everything I see. From my holiness does the perception of the real
W1:58.3  The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. Everyone and  everything I see in its light shares in the joy it brings to me.
W1:60.4  will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and  everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I will recognize in
W1:67.8  your Father and of your Self. This is the Voice of truth replacing  everything that the ego tells you about yourself with the simple
W1:68.9  trying to think of yourself as completely at peace with everyone and  everything, safe in a world which protects you and loves you and
W1:71.3  that is necessary for salvation is thus demanded of everyone and  everything except yourself.
W1:76.6  needs repeating over and over until you realize that it applies to  everything that you have made in opposition to His Will. Your magic
W1:85.5  and then brought in. But from within me it will reach beyond, and  everything I see will but reflect the light that shines in me and in
W1:92.7  size. It fears and it attacks and hates itself, and darkness covers  everything it sees, leaving its dreams as fearful as itself. No
W1:98.2  has come. We have a mighty purpose to fulfill and have been given  everything we need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake
W1:98.6  time has no meaning, you are being asked for nothing in return for  everything. Here is a bargain that you cannot lose. And what you gain
W1:101.3  real. Salvation must be feared, for it will kill but slowly, taking  everything away before it grants the welcome boon of death to victims
W1:102.2  purchase anything at all. It offers nothing and does not exist. And  everything you think it offers you is lacking in existence like
W1:105.5  adds by letting what cannot contain itself fulfill its aim of giving  everything it has away, securing it forever for itself.
W1:106.7  what you received. Thus does salvation start and thus it ends; when  everything is yours, and everything is given away, it will remain
W1:106.7  does salvation start and thus it ends; when everything is yours, and  everything is given away, it will remain with you forever. And the
W1:109.2  vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and  everything there is. Here is the end of suffering for all the world
W1:R3.4  to them. They gave you nothing. But your practicing can offer  everything to you. And so accept its offering and be at peace.
W1:R3.11  to help you form the habit of applying what you learn each day to  everything you do.
W1:122.4  Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that will answer  everything? Here is the perfect answer, given to imperfect questions,
W1:122.12  for us since time began, kept waiting for today. Forgiveness offers  everything you want. Today all things you want are given you.
W1:122.15 Forgiveness offers  everything I want. Today I have accepted this as true. Today I have
W1:123.8  to you. Remember hourly to think of Him and give Him thanks for  everything He gave His Son that he might rise above the world
W1:124.1  available to us in all our undertakings. We can fail in nothing.  Everything we touch takes on a shining light which blesses and which
W1:124.2 How holy are our minds! And  everything we see reflects the holiness within the mind at one with
W1:125.7  your heart to you. His Voice is closer than your hand. His Love is  everything you are and that He is—the same as you, and you the same
W1:127.3  is a law without an opposite. Its wholeness is the power holding  everything as one, the link between the Father and the Son which
W1:127.4  you are is what He is. There is no love but His, and what He is, is  everything there is. There is no limit placed upon Himself, and so
W1:128.2  binds you to the world, and it will serve no other end but this. For  everything must serve the purpose you have given it until you see a
W1:130.4 Fear has made  everything you think you see. All separation, all distinctions, and
W1:130.6  a piece because it stems from one emotion and reflects its source in  everything you see.
W1:130.12  still remains within your range of choice to take the place of  everything that hell would show to you. All you need say to any part
W1:131.4  remembered, old yet new—an echo of a heritage forgot, yet holding  everything you really want.
W1:131.6  His perfect, timeless, and unchanging Love. You will find Heaven.  Everything you seek but this will fall away, yet not because it has
W1:133.6  a little, for there is no in-between. Each choice you make brings  everything to you or nothing. Therefore, if you learn the tests by

W1:134.2  is true. It must be limited to what is false. It is irrelevant to  everything except illusions. Truth is God's creation, and to pardon
W1:134.21 In  everything you do, remember this:
W1:135.14  service for a little while. In this capacity is health assured. For  everything the mind employs for this will function flawlessly and
W1:135.17  choice of what will happen. And it does not see that here and now is  everything it needs to guarantee a future quite unlike the past
W1:135.19 What could you not accept if you but knew that  everything that happens, all events, past, present, and to come, are
W1:135.22  for this is part of what was planned for us. We will be sure that  everything we need is given us for our accomplishment of this today.
W1:137.10  your own as you extend the little help He asks in freeing you from  everything that ever caused you pain. And as you let yourself be
W1:137.13  this? Is not a little time a small expense to offer for the gift of  everything?
W1:141.2 [122] Forgiveness offers  everything I want.
W1:151.10 Let Him be judge as well of  everything that seems to happen to you in this world. His lessons
W1:151.12  for unholiness, within the Holy, holy as Itself. In everyone and  everything, His Voice would speak to you of nothing but your Self and
W1:151.12  Who is one with Him. So will you see the holy face of Christ in  everything and hear in everything no sound except the echo of God's
W1:151.12  So will you see the holy face of Christ in everything and hear in  everything no sound except the echo of God's Voice.
W1:152.2  to be true. Yet can truth have exceptions? If you have the gift of  everything, can loss be real? Can pain be part of peace, or grief of
W1:154.3  the strength to understand it, do what it entails, and to succeed in  everything you do that is related to it. God has joined His Son in
W1:155.12  love, and of your full intent? What way could give you more than  everything or offer less and still content the holy Son of God? We
W1:156.3  be holiness as well as life. No attribute of His remains unshared by  everything that lives. What lives is holy as Himself because what
W1:157.9 Into Christ's Presence will we enter now, serenely unaware of  everything except His shining face and perfect Love. The vision of
W1:159.6  treasure house to which you can appeal with perfect certainty for  everything that can contribute to your happiness. All are laid here
W1:161.2  of the mind. But part of it is now unnatural. It does not look on  everything as one. It sees instead but fragments of the whole, for
W1:161.3  us from a different point of view, so we can see a different use in  everything.

W1:166.5  alone though God is with him, and a treasure his so great that  everything the world contains is valueless before its magnitude.
W1:168.4  instant longer? What remains undone when your forgiveness rests on  everything?
W1:169.2  hate and fear are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to  everything the world contains that those whose minds are lighted by
W1:183.7  wish we have, the only sound with any meaning, and the only name of  everything that we desire to see; of everything that we would call
W1:183.7  meaning, and the only name of everything that we desire to see; of  everything that we would call our own.
W1:184.1 You live by symbols. You have made up names for  everything you see. Each one becomes a separate entity, identified by
W1:185.1 To say these words is nothing. But to mean these words is  everything. If you could but mean them for just an instant, there
W1:186.12  image of yourself, confused, bewildered, inconsistent and unsure of  everything? Let not its voice direct you. Hear instead a certain
W1:186.13  He is complete; a gift to you, although He knows that you have  everything already. He has thoughts which answer every need His Son
W1:187.11  we look upon. And to ensure this holy sight is ours, we offer it to  everything we see. For where we see it, it will be returned to us in
W1:189.3  one is wholly meaningless. A world in which forgiveness shines on  everything and peace offers its gentle light to everyone is
W1:189.7  the world, all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of  everything it thinks is either true or false or good or bad, of every
W1:191.4  else but this one thing is folly to believe. In this one thought is  everything set free. In this one truth are all illusions gone. In
W1:191.4  In this one fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be forever part of  everything, the central core of its existence, and its guarantee of

W1:195.9  gratitude in place of anger, malice, and revenge. We have been given  everything. If we refuse to recognize it, we are not entitled
W1:198.13  that can be perceived an instant longer. Then are symbols done and  everything you ever thought you made completely vanished from the

W1:R6.5  day, no form of exercise is urged except a deep relinquishment of  everything that clutters up the mind and makes it deaf to reason,
W1:205.1 [185] I want the peace of God. The peace of God is  everything I want. The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my
W1:209.1  me now. The Love of God is what created me. The Love of God is  everything I am. The Love of God proclaimed me as His Son. The Love
W2:WIW.3  but a solid base where truth exists, upheld apart from lies. Yet  everything that they report is but illusion, which is kept apart from
W2:242.2  by us. You know all our desires and our needs. And You will give us  everything we want and that will help us find the way to You.
W2:251.1  all hopes are finally fulfilled, and dreams are gone. Now have I  everything that I could need. Now have I everything that I could
W2:251.1  dreams are gone. Now have I everything that I could need. Now have I  everything that I could want. And now at last I find myself at peace.

W2:259.2  can have no opposite. You are the Source of everything that is. And  everything that is remains with You and You with it.
W2:283.1  Heaven infinite? Is not Your Son my true Identity, when You created  everything that is?
W2:283.2  one in shared Identity, with God our Father as our only Source and  everything created part of us. And so we offer blessing to all

W2:297.1  is the only gift I give because it is the only gift I want, and  everything I give I give myself. This is salvation's simple formula.
W2:298.2  am grateful for Your holy gifts of certain sanctuary and escape from  everything that would obscure my love for God, my Father, and His
W2:339.2  a day in which I would do nothing by myself but hear Your Voice in  everything I do; requesting only what You offer me, accepting only
W2:343.1 The end of suffering cannot be loss. The gift of  everything can but be gain. You only give. You never take away. And
W2:343.1  because I am Your Son. I cannot lose, for I can only give. And  everything is mine eternally.
W2:348.2 God's grace suffices us in  everything that He would have us do. And only that we choose to be
W2:E.6  to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His Will in  everything we do. He loves God's Son as we would love him, and He
M:2.4  too, made an inevitable choice out of an ancient past. God's Will in  everything but seems to take time in the working-out. What could

W1:93.4 Why would you not be overjoyed to be assured that all the  evil that you think you did was never done, that all your “sins” are

W1:93.7  you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever  evil you may think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever
W1:93.11  God created as you by hiding its majesty behind the tiny idols of  evil and sinfulness you have made to replace it. Let it come into its

W1:110.1  the universe so that what God created was replaced by fear and  evil, misery and death.
W1:110.2 If you remain as God created you, fear has no meaning,  evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist. Today's idea is

Tx:6.77  what God's creations are. The Holy Spirit perceives the conflict  exactly as it is. Therefore, His second lesson is:
Tx:7.16 The Holy Spirit's purpose in translating is naturally  exactly the opposite. He translates only to preserve the original

Tx:13.47  except that His conclusions are not insane. They take a direction  exactly opposite, pointing as clearly to Heaven as the ego points to
Tx:13.64  motivation, and the interference in your motivation for learning is  exactly the same as that which interferes with all your thinking. The

Tx:15.86  process of looking straight at all the interference and seeing it  exactly as it is. For it is impossible to recognize as wholly without

Tx:24.14  like unto Him. His “special” sons are many, never one, each one in  exile from himself and Him of Whom they are a part. Nor do they love

Tx:2.60  meaningful, because the miscreations of the mind do not really  exist. This recognition is a far better protective device than any
Tx:2.61  and therefore does not require correction. The body does not really  exist except as a learning device for the mind. This learning device

Tx:6.55  is to assume inequality, which the Holy Spirit demonstrates does not  exist. Fidelity to premises is a law of mind, and everything God
Tx:6.62  you are. It is clearly a separation device and therefore does not  exist. The Holy Spirit, as always, takes what you have made and

Tx:9.14  everywhere and in all respects, He teaches that the ego does not  exist and proves it. Follow His teaching in forgiveness then, because
Tx:9.56  cannot use it. What He cannot transform to the Will of God does not  exist at all. Grandiosity is delusional, because it is used to
Tx:9.60  beside you exists, for you are part of Him. What except Him can  exist? Nothing beyond Him can happen, because nothing except Him is

Tx:14.4  God is. Everything else that you have placed within your mind cannot  exist, for what is not in communication with the Mind of God has

Tx:14.69  you would teach yourselves He has corrected already. They do not  exist in His Mind at all. For the past binds Him not and therefore

Tx:28.47  is no other choice. Except you share it, nothing can exist. And you  exist because God shared His Will with you, that His creation might

Tx:9.42  from a sense of inadequacy it has produced and must maintain for its  existence? Can you escape from its evaluation of you by using its
Tx:9.50  distinctions between two entirely different kinds of threat to its  existence. Its own profound sense of vulnerability renders it

Tx:8.105  reality and know what it is. And if you do distort reality, you will  experience anxiety, depression, and ultimately panic, because you are
Tx:9.65  to reality. Is it your will to do so? You know from your own  experience that what you see in dreams you think is real as long as
Tx:10.32  hold only for your protection, and they never hold in vain. What you  experience when you deny your Father is still for your protection,

Tx:15.46  is to believe you are alone. To be alone is to be guilty. For to  experience yourself as alone is to deny the oneness of the Father and
Tx:15.48  which you have chosen to support the ego, as a learning  experience which points to truth. Under His teaching, every

Tx:15.89  and the need your creations have to be with you forever, you would  experience the attraction of the eternal. No one can hear Him speak
Tx:15.91  of a body at all. In the holy instant there are no bodies, and you  experience only the attraction of God. Accepting it as undivided, you
Tx:16.57  yourself. Its whole thought system is a carefully contrived learning  experience designed to lead away from truth and into fantasy. Yet for
Tx:16.76  awareness of the complete difference in all respects between your  experience of truth and illusion. Yet you will not attempt this long.
Tx:16.76  you joined Him. The illusions you bring with you will weaken the  experience of Him for a while and will prevent you from keeping the
Tx:16.76  experience of Him for a while and will prevent you from keeping the  experience in your mind. Yet the holy instant is eternal, and your
Tx:17.16  bodies are central to all unholy relationships is evident. Your own  experience has taught you this. But what you do not realize are all
Tx:17.42 As God ascends into His rightful place and you to yours, you will  experience again the meaning of relationship and know it to be true.
Tx:17.43  witnessed to by its results. The holy instant never fails. The  experience of it is always felt. Yet without expression, it is not

Tx:17.61  ego's way of looking, for the ego believes the situation brings the  experience. The Holy Spirit knows that the situation is as the goal
Tx:17.63  truth would bring. For fantasy solutions bring but the illusion of  experience, and the illusion of peace is not the condition in which
Tx:18.30  to make whole. Let not time worry you, for all the fear that you  experience is really past. Time has been readjusted to help us do
Tx:18.46  lie in the fact that it is now impossible for either of you to  experience fear alone or to attempt to deal with it alone. Never
Tx:18.61  self. In these instants of release from physical restrictions, you  experience much of what happens in the holy instant; the lifting of
Tx:18.61  instant; the lifting of the barriers of time and space, the sudden  experience of peace and joy, and, above all, the lack of awareness of
Tx:20.31 Those who choose freedom will  experience only its results. Their power is of God, and they will
Tx:20.46 Nothing can show the contrast better than the  experience of both a holy and an unholy relationship. The first is
Tx:20.59  sin to holiness should now be almost over. To the extent you still  experience it, you are refusing to leave the means to Him Who changed
Tx:21.15 I am responsible for what I see. I chose the feelings I  experience, and I decided on the goal I would achieve. And everything
Tx:21.30  for truth. The source of sin is gone. You may imagine that you still  experience its effects, but it is not your purpose, and you no longer
Tx:21.50  that you will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You will  experience depression, a sense of worthlessness, and feelings of
Tx:21.90  that could be always yours. Here is the constant peace you could  experience forever. Here is what denial has denied revealed to you.
Tx:22.63  the alternatives, this seems more natural and more in line with your  experience. And therefore it is necessary that you have other
Tx:22.64  of your holy relationship. For what one thinks the other will  experience with him. What can this mean except your minds are one?
Tx:25.75  in every circumstance that this is true. Nor need you look to your  experience within the world, which is but shadows of all that is
Tx:27.10  It has no life, but neither is it dead. It stands apart from all  experience of fear or love. For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its
Tx:30.7  have, the things you want to happen to you, and the things you would  experience and say,
Tx:30.83  labels change with other judgments made on different aspects of  experience. And then in looking back you think you see another
W1:5.10  source of the upset as you perceive it and of the feelings as you  experience it. Further examples are:

W1:34.4 If you begin to  experience difficulty in thinking of specific subjects, continue to

W1:74.11  you have cleared your mind in this way, close your eyes and try to  experience the peace to which your reality entitles you. Sink into

W1:91.12 In the second phase of the exercise period, try to  experience these truths about yourself. Concentrate particularly on
W1:91.12  these truths about yourself. Concentrate particularly on the  experience of strength. Remember that all sense of weakness is
W1:93.10  self-images and spend the rest of the practice period in trying to  experience what God has given you in place of what you have decreed
W1:93.11  or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there. Try to  experience the unity of your One Self. Try to appreciate its holiness
W1:96.1 Although you are One Self, you  experience yourself as two—as both good and evil, loving and
W1:105.9  gift of peace and joy which God has given you. Now are you ready to  experience the joy and peace you have denied yourself. Now you can
W1:124.7  give, for we would keep the gifts our Father gave. Today we would  experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the world may share our

W1:157.5  you meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. For your  experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the
W1:157.6  today, its only purpose being now to bring the vision of what you  experience this day to light the world. We cannot give experience
W1:157.6  of what you experience this day to light the world. We cannot give  experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in our eyes

Tx:25.44  wants to see? The wish to see calls down the grace of God upon your  eyes and brings the gift of light that makes sight possible.

W1:8.4 The exercises for today should be done with  eyes closed. This is because you actually cannot see anything, and it
W1:10.4 Close your  eyes for these exercises and introduce them by repeating the idea for
W1:11.2  undertaken somewhat differently from the previous ones. Begin with  eyes closed, and repeat the idea slowly to yourself. Then open your
W1:11.2  eyes closed, and repeat the idea slowly to yourself. Then open your  eyes and look about, near or far, up or down—anywhere. During the
W1:11.3 To do these exercises for maximum benefit, the  eyes should move from one thing to another fairly rapidly since they
W1:11.3  we are trying to achieve. On concluding the exercises, close your  eyes and repeat the idea once more, slowly, to yourself.
W1:12.2 These exercises are done with  eyes open. Look around you, this time quite slowly. Try to pace
W1:13.4  practiced in a somewhat different way from the preceding ones. With  eyes closed, repeat today's idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and

W1:13.6 Repeat this statement to yourself as you look about. Then close your  eyes and conclude with:
W1:14.2 The exercises for today are to be practiced with  eyes closed throughout. The mind searching period should be short, a
W1:14.4 With  eyes closed, think of all the horrors in the world that cross your

W1:15.3  Do not be afraid of them. They are signs that you are opening your  eyes at last. They will not persist, because they merely symbolize
W1:15.4  it to whatever you see around you, using its name and letting your  eyes rest on it as you say:
W1:16.4  the idea for today, search your mind for a minute or so, with  eyes closed, and actively seek not to overlook any “little” thought
W1:17.2 In applying today's idea, say to yourself, with  eyes open:
W1:19.3  searching which today's exercises require are to be undertaken with  eyes closed. The idea is to be repeated first, and then the mind
W1:21.2  periods, begin by repeating the idea to yourself. Then close your  eyes and search your mind carefully for situations past, present or
W1:22.3  at least five times today, for at least a minute each time. As your  eyes move slowly from one object to another, from one body to
W1:23.6  about you, repeat the idea slowly to yourself and then close your  eyes and devote about a minute to searching your mind for as many
W1:24.4  repeating today's idea, followed by searching the mind with closed  eyes for unresolved situations about which you are currently
W1:25.6  far, “important” or “unimportant,” “human” or “unhuman.” With your  eyes resting on each subject you so select, say, for example:
W1:25.8 Say this quite slowly, without shifting your  eyes until you have completed the statement. Then move on to the next
W1:26.3  that you are vulnerable, their effect is to weaken you in your own  eyes. Thus they have attacked your perception of yourself. And
W1:26.6  should begin with repeating the idea for today, then closing your  eyes and reviewing the unresolved situations whose outcomes are

W1:30.4  by space and distance, but it does not depend on the body's  eyes at all. The mind is its only source.
W1:30.5  devote several practice periods to applying today's idea with your  eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and looking within
W1:31.2  slowly while repeating the idea two or three times. Then close your  eyes and apply the same idea to your inner world. You will escape
W1:32.3  around at the world you see as outside yourself. Then close your  eyes and look around your inner world. Try to treat them both as
W1:33.2  around the world you perceive as outside yourself, then close your  eyes and survey your inner thoughts with equal casualness. Try to
W1:33.5  quietly and repeat the idea to yourself several times. Closing your  eyes will probably help in this form of application.
W1:34.2  conducive to readiness. All applications should be done with your  eyes closed. It is your inner world to which the applications of
W1:35.2  What you see while you believe you are in it is seen through the  eyes of the image. This is not vision. Images cannot see.
W1:35.4  begin by repeating today's idea to yourself and then close your  eyes and search your mind for the various kinds of descriptive terms
W1:35.4  are equally unreal because you do not look upon yourself through the  eyes of holiness.

W1:36.3 First, close your  eyes and repeat the idea for today several times slowly. Then open
W1:36.3  and repeat the idea for today several times slowly. Then open your  eyes and look quite slowly about you, applying the idea specifically
W1:36.5 Several times during these practice periods, close your  eyes and repeat the idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and
W1:36.5  close your eyes and repeat the idea to yourself. Then open your  eyes and continue as before.
W1:36.6 For the shorter exercise periods, close your  eyes and repeat the idea; look about you as you repeat it again; and
W1:36.6  you repeat it again; and conclude with one more repetition with your  eyes closed. All applications should, of course, be made quite
W1:37.6 Then close your  eyes and apply the idea to any person who occurs to you, using his
W1:37.8 You may continue the practice period with your  eyes closed; you may open your eyes again and apply the idea for
W1:37.8  the practice period with your eyes closed; you may open your  eyes again and apply the idea for today to your outer world if you so
W1:37.8  period should conclude with a repetition of the idea with your  eyes closed and another following immediately with your eyes open.
W1:37.8  with your eyes closed and another following immediately with your  eyes open.
W1:38.4  to last a full five minutes, repeat the idea for today, close your  eyes, and then search your mind for any sense of loss or unhappiness
W1:39.6  as usual by repeating today's idea to yourself. Then with closed  eyes search out your unloving thoughts in whatever form they appear—
W1:40.2 You need not close your  eyes for the exercise periods, although you will probably find it
W1:40.2  may be in a number of situations during the day when closing your  eyes would not be appropriate. Do not miss a practice period because
W1:41.5  up if possible, sit quietly for some three to five minutes with your  eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat today's
W1:41.8  use today's idea often, repeating it very slowly and preferably with  eyes closed. Think of what you are saying; what the words mean.
W1:42.4 Begin the practice period by repeating the idea for today slowly with  eyes open, looking about you. Then close your eyes and repeat the
W1:42.4  for today slowly with eyes open, looking about you. Then close your  eyes and repeat the idea again, quite slowly. After this, try to
W1:42.7  at all seem to come to mind. If such interferences occur, open your  eyes and repeat the thought once more while looking slowly about;
W1:42.7  repeat the thought once more while looking slowly about; close your  eyes, repeat the idea once more, and then continue to look for
W1:42.8  period alternating between slow repetitions of the idea with  eyes open, then closed, then open, and so on, than it is to strain in
W1:43.5  of these practice periods, repeat the idea to yourself with  eyes open. Then glance around you for a short time, applying the idea
W1:43.8 For the second and longer phase of the exercise period, close your  eyes, repeat today's idea again, and then let whatever relevant
W1:43.9  I see through the  eyes of forgiveness. I see the world as blessed. The world can show
W1:43.11  idea, or if you seem to be unable to think of anything, open your  eyes, repeat the first phase, and then try the second phase again. Do
W1:44.5  speaking, this is the release from hell. Perceived through the ego's  eyes, it is loss of identity and a descent into hell.
W1:44.7 Begin the practice period by repeating today's idea with your  eyes open and close them slowly, repeating the idea several times
W1:44.9  in any form, pause long enough to repeat today's idea, keeping your  eyes closed unless you are aware of fear. In that case, you will
W1:44.9  In that case, you will probably find it more reassuring to open your  eyes briefly. Try, however, to return to the exercises as soon as
W1:44.11 Throughout the day, repeat the idea often with  eyes open or closed as seems better to you at the time. Do not
W1:45.6  exercises for today by repeating the idea to yourself, closing your  eyes as you do so. Spend a fairly short period in thinking a few
W1:46.3  periods by repeating today's idea to yourself, as usual. Close your  eyes as you do so and spend a minute or two in searching your mind
W1:47.4  today, and longer and more frequent ones are urged. Close your  eyes and begin as usual by repeating today's idea. Then spend a
W1:48.2  repeat the idea as often as possible. You can use it with your  eyes open at any time and in any situation. It is strongly
W1:48.2  that you take a minute or so whenever possible to close your  eyes and repeat the idea slowly to yourself several times. It is
W1:49.5 Do not forget to repeat today's idea very frequently. Do so with your  eyes open when necessary, but closed when possible. And be sure that
W1:49.5  and repeat the idea for today slowly whenever you can, closing your  eyes on the world and realizing that you are inviting God's Voice to
W1:R1.4  and the related comments, the exercises should be done with your  eyes closed and when you are alone in a quiet place if possible. This
W1:54.2  from my thinking errors, so will the real world rise before my  eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My thoughts cannot be neither
W1:58.2  the innocence that is the truth about me. Seen through understanding  eyes, the holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only
W1:59.3  God is my strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my own  eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful illusion
W1:59.4  from Him. It is these I choose when I try to see through the body's  eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been given me to replace them. It
W1:60.6  As I listen to God's Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I open my  eyes, His love lights up the world for me to see. As I forgive, His
W1:61.7  think about these statements for a short while, preferably with your  eyes closed if the situation permits. Let a few related thoughts come
W1:62.5 As often as you can, closing your  eyes if possible, say to yourself:
W1:63.5 If you can close your  eyes, you will probably find it easier to let related thoughts come
W1:64.1  Son, taking on a physical appearance. It is this which the body's  eyes look upon.
W1:64.2 Nothing the body's  eyes seem to see can be anything but a form of temptation, since this
W1:64.9  once devote ten or 15 minutes to reflecting on this with closed  eyes. Related thoughts will come to help you if you remember the
W1:64.11  practice periods are required. At times, do the exercises with your  eyes closed, trying to concentrate on the thoughts you are applying.
W1:64.11  on the thoughts you are applying. At other times keep your  eyes open after reviewing the thoughts and look slowly and
W1:65.5  period, begin by reviewing the idea for today. Then close your  eyes, repeat the idea to yourself once again, and watch your mind
W1:65.14 Sometimes close your  eyes as you practice, and sometimes keep them open and look about
W1:69.4 Very quietly now, with your  eyes closed, try to let go of all the content which generally
W1:70.10 Then devote a few minutes with your  eyes closed to reviewing some of the external places where you have
W1:72.14  not listened to His Voice. We have used our grievances to close our  eyes and stop our ears. Now we would see and hear and learn. “What is
W1:72.20 Then wait a minute or so in silence, preferably with your  eyes closed, and listen for His answer.
W1:74.11 After you have cleared your mind in this way, close your  eyes and try to experience the peace to which your reality entitles
W1:74.15  to find what you are seeking. A minute or two every half-hour, with  eyes closed if possible, would be well spent on this today.
W1:75.11  there is a new beginning. Without the darkness of the past upon your  eyes, you cannot fail to see today. And what you see will be so
W1:77.4  quite confidently that you are entitled to miracles. Closing your  eyes, remind yourself that you are asking only for what is rightfully
W1:78.1  the miracle it would conceal. And as you raise it up before your  eyes, you will not see the miracle beyond. Yet all the while it waits
W1:78.2  wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently lift our  eyes in silence to behold the Son of God.
W1:78.10 The body's  eyes are closed, and as you think of him who grieved you, let your
W1:79.12  all judgment about what the problem is. If possible, close your  eyes for a moment and ask what it is. You will be heard and you will
W1:80.5  let the peace that your acceptance brings be given you. Close your  eyes and receive your reward. Recognize that your problems have been
W1:R2.2  them over slowly, several times if you wish, and then close your  eyes and listen. Repeat the first phase if you find your mind
W1:91.3  to see what is not there instead. You do not doubt that the body's  eyes can see. You do not doubt the images they show you are reality.
W1:91.7 Miracles are seen in light. The body's  eyes do not perceive the light. But I am not a body. What am I?
W1:91.13  because Their strength is yours. Their strength becomes your  eyes that you may see.
W1:91.15 Miracles are seen in light. Let me not close my  eyes because of this.
W1:92.1  your idea of what seeing means is tied up with the body and its  eyes and brain. This is why you believe that you can change what you
W1:92.1  by putting little bits of glass or other clear material before your  eyes held in a frame or placed against the eye.
W1:92.2  beliefs that come from the conviction you are a body and the body's  eyes can see. You also believe the body's brain can think. If you but
W1:92.2  let it go. Yet this is no more foolish than to believe the body's  eyes can see, the brain can think.
W1:92.3  your weakness. It is your weakness that sees through the body's  eyes, peering about in darkness to behold the likeness of itself—
W1:92.3  sad, the poor, the starving, and the joyless. These are seen through  eyes which cannot see and cannot bless.
W1:92.8  and none who enters its abode can leave without a miracle before his  eyes and strength and light abiding in his heart.
W1:92.9  your seeing, so you do not dwell on idle shadows that the body's  eyes provide for self-deception. Strength and light unite in you, and

W1:93.14 Then try to devote at least a minute or so to closing your  eyes and realizing that this is a statement of the truth about you.
W1:95.14 Then close your  eyes and tell yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to
W1:105.10  So tell yourself “God's peace and joy are mine,” and close your  eyes a while, and let His Voice assure you that the words you speak
W1:108.2  light which makes true vision possible is not the light the body's  eyes behold. It is a state of mind which has become so unified that
W1:108.10 Then close your  eyes, and for five minutes think of what you would hold out to
W1:109.3  it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to truth before the  eyes of you who rest in God.
W1:109.6 You rest today. And as you close your  eyes, sink into stillness. Let these periods of rest and respite

W1:121.11 Now close your  eyes and see him in your mind and look at him a while. Try to
W1:122.2 All this forgiveness offers you, and more. It sparkles in your  eyes as you awake and gives you joy with which to meet the day. It
W1:122.3  which hides the face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving  eyes upon the world. It lets you recognize the Son of God and clears
W1:122.8 Open your  eyes today, and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace.
W1:122.8  take the place of hell. In quietness it rises up to greet your open  eyes and fill your heart with deep tranquility as ancient truths,
W1:123.4  in gratitude we lift our hearts above despair and raise our thankful  eyes, no longer looking downward to the dust. We sing the song of
W1:124.4  We feel Him in our hearts. Our minds contain His thoughts; our  eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon. Today we see only the
W1:124.11  joy too deep for you to comprehend, a sight too holy for the body's  eyes to see, and yet you can be sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps
W1:125.9  above the thinking of the world and free your vision from the body's  eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear the Word in which the
W1:126.10 In silence close your  eyes upon the world which does not understand forgiveness and seek
W1:127.5  not found in darkness and in death. Yet it is perfectly apparent to  eyes that see and ears that hear its Voice.
W1:127.9  the past behind us, never more to be remembered. And we raise our  eyes upon a different present, where a future shines unlike the past
W1:128.7 Give it ten minutes rest three times today. And when your  eyes are opened afterwards, you will not value anything you see as
W1:129.9 Then close your  eyes upon the world you see, and in the silent darkness watch the
W1:129.10  eyelids as you rest beyond the world of darkness. Here is light your  eyes cannot behold. And yet your mind can see it plainly and can
W1:130.10  For though it is perception, it is not the kind of seeing that your  eyes alone have ever seen before. And you will know God's strength
W1:130.12 Accept a little part of hell as real, and you have damned your  eyes and cursed your sight, and what you will behold is hell indeed.
W1:131.14 For several minutes watch your mind and see, although your  eyes are closed, the senseless world you think is real. Review the
W1:134.7  shrieks of sinners mad with guilt. It looks on them with quiet  eyes and merely says to them, “My brother, what you think is not the
W1:137.4  truth and always will remain exactly as it has forever been. Yet  eyes accustomed to illusions must be shown that what they look upon
W1:138.12 Before we close our  eyes in sleep tonight, we reaffirm the choice that we have made each
W1:R4.10  two ideas assigned to you to be reviewed that day. Then close your  eyes and say them slowly to yourself. There is no hurry now, for you
W1:151.2  see. You do not really question what is shown you through the body's  eyes. Nor do you ask why you believe it, even though you learned a
W1:151.3  you judge the world you see? You place pathetic faith in what your  eyes and ears report. You think your fingers touch reality and close
W1:151.7 He will not tell you that your brother should be judged by what your  eyes behold in him, nor what his body's mouth says to your ears, nor
W1:155.1  though you smile more frequently. Your forehead is serene; your  eyes are quiet. And the ones who walk the world as you do recognize
W1:155.6  that they hear you speak of nor illusion which you bring their  eyes to look on and their minds to grasp. Now can the truth, which
W1:157.6  give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in our  eyes which we can offer everyone that he may come the sooner to the
W1:158.11  likeness shines with its immortal love. We practice seeing with the  eyes of Christ today. And by the holy gifts we give, Christ's vision
W1:161.7  there is no death. Fear is insatiable, consuming everything its  eyes behold, seeing itself in everything, compelled to turn upon
W1:161.9 This do the body's  eyes behold in one whom Heaven cherishes, the angels love, and God
W1:161.11  you will not be willing to accept the witnesses your body's  eyes call forth. What you will see will sing to you of ancient

W1:164.1  to look upon what is forever there—not in our sight, but in the  eyes of Christ. He looks past time and sees eternity as represented
W1:164.5  in His judgment will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your  eyes. Now will you see it with the eyes of Christ. Now is its
W1:164.5  in perfect innocence before your eyes. Now will you see it with the  eyes of Christ. Now is its transformation clear to you.
W1:165.5  sight proves that you have exchanged your blindness for the seeing  eyes of Christ; your mind has come to lay aside denial and accept the
W1:166.7  is not you. You heed them not. You go on your appointed way, with  eyes cast down lest you might catch a glimpse of truth and be
W1:167.10  life is not as we imagine it. Who changes life because he shuts his  eyes or makes himself what he is not because he sleeps and sees in

W1:170.13 Now do your  eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them. Now your voice

W1:181.9  when this is all we seek for in the name of true perception, are the  eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the love He feels for us becomes
W1:187.2  For it is sure that if you give a finite thing away, your body's  eyes will not perceive it yours. Yet we have learned that things but

W1:72.2 The ego's fundamental wish is to replace God. In  fact, the ego is the physical embodiment of this wish. For it is this
W1:72.6  body's apparent reality makes this view of God quite convincing. In  fact, if the body were real, it would be difficult indeed to escape
W1:77.5  done. In doing this, you do not really ask for anything. You state a  fact that cannot be denied.
W1:77.6  Holy Spirit cannot but assure you that your request is granted. The  fact that you accepted must be so. There is no room for doubt and
W1:77.6  real question at last. The answer is a simple statement of a simple  fact. You will receive the assurance that you seek.
W1:77.7  will be frequent and will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple  fact. Tell yourself often today:

M:17.5  this can hardly be a fact is obvious. Yet that it can be believed as  fact is surely so. And herein lies the birthplace of guilt. Who

Tx:9.99 Your  Father has not denied you. He does not retaliate, but He does call to
Tx:9.101  punished otherwise. It is merely because your acknowledgment of your  Father is the acknowledgment of yourself as you are. Your Father
Tx:9.101  of your Father is the acknowledgment of yourself as you are. Your  Father created you wholly without sin, wholly without pain, and
Tx:9.103  created for him and what he himself had created in the Name of his  Father. Heaven waits for his return, for it was created as the
Tx:10.4  you will also have looked upon ours. I come to you from our  Father to offer you everything again. Do not refuse it in order to
Tx:10.4  You will not take this journey alone. I will lead you to your true  Father, Who hath need of you as I have. Will you not answer the call
Tx:10.6  from the universe or from God, Who is the universe? I and my  Father are one with you, for you are part of us. Do you really
Tx:10.11  on your willingness to give as He gives. Your fatherhood and your  Father are one. God willed to create, and your will is His. It
Tx:10.13  for himself. God's Son cannot will death for himself because His  Father is Life and His Son is like Him. Creation is your will because
Tx:10.15  is knowing. Blessed are you who learn that to hear the Will of your  Father is to know your own. For it is your will to be like Him, Whose

Tx:10.16  it closer. The Son of God has both Father and Son because he is both  Father and Son. To unite having and being is only to unite your will
Tx:10.27  so great that it can sweep you out of all darkness forever. For your  Father is your Creator, and you are like Him.
Tx:10.30  of the Son can be excluded if he would know the Wholeness of his  Father. In your mind, you can accept the whole Sonship and bless it
Tx:10.30  you can accept the whole Sonship and bless it with the light your  Father gave it. Then you will be worthy to dwell in the temple with
Tx:10.32  God homeless and know that you are at home? Can the Son deny the  Father without believing that the Father has denied him? God's laws
Tx:10.32  are at home? Can the Son deny the Father without believing that the  Father has denied him? God's laws hold only for your protection, and
Tx:10.32  and they never hold in vain. What you experience when you deny your  Father is still for your protection, for the power of your will
Tx:10.35  his voice in praise of his Creator, he will hear the Voice of his  Father. Yet the Creator cannot be praised without His Son, for their
Tx:10.36  you be. But love yourself with the love of Christ, for so does your  Father love you. You can refuse to enter, but you cannot bar the door
Tx:10.38 Blessed is the Son of God, whose radiance is of his  Father and whose glory he wills to share as his Father shares it with
Tx:10.38  radiance is of his Father and whose glory he wills to share as his  Father shares it with him. There is no condemnation in the Son, for
Tx:10.38  is no condemnation in the Son, for there is no condemnation in the  Father. Sharing the perfect love of the Father, the Son must share
Tx:10.38  is no condemnation in the Father. Sharing the perfect love of the  Father, the Son must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he will
Tx:10.38  must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he will not know the  Father or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God and in whom the
Tx:10.56  but hardly to what it has denied! The ego looks straight at the  Father and does not see Him, for it has denied His Son.
Tx:10.57 Would you remember the  Father? Accept His Son, and you will remember Him. Nothing can
Tx:10.57  demonstration that His Son does not exist, yet where the Son is, the  Father must be. Accept what God does not deny, and He will
Tx:10.57  demonstrate nothing, for Christ speaks to them of Himself and of His  Father. They are silent because Christ speaks to them, and it is His
Tx:10.59  Christ does rise above the ego and all its works and ascends to the  Father and His Kingdom.
Tx:10.60  or free them? Would you transcend your prison and ascend to the  Father? For these questions are all the same and are answered
Tx:10.62  perceive what has been accomplished for you. For we ascend unto the  Father together, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall
Tx:10.62  now, and ever shall be, for such is the nature of God's Son as His  Father created him.
Tx:10.64  him without question as His own. Who, then, is your own? The  Father has given you all that is His, and He Himself is yours with
Tx:10.68  all things are possible. And to Christ it is given to be like the  Father.
Tx:10.69 The world as you perceive it cannot have been created by the  Father, for the world is not as you see it. God created only the
Tx:10.70  eternal because they are loving. And being loving, they are like the  Father and therefore cannot die. The real world can actually be
Tx:10.71  To establish your personal autonomy, you tried to create unlike your  Father, believing what you made to be capable of being unlike Him.
Tx:10.82  for deprivation. Little Children of God, you do not understand your  Father. You believe in a world that takes, because you believe that
Tx:10.83  give to anyone who asks it of him. Ask anything of God's Son and His  Father will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His Father, and
Tx:10.83  and His Father will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His  Father, and His Father is not deceived in Him.
Tx:10.83  will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His Father, and His  Father is not deceived in Him.
Tx:10.84  that his mind is split, you will heal yours. Accept him as his  Father accepts him and heal him unto Christ, for Christ is his
Tx:10.84  yours. Christ is the Son of God, who is in no way separate from His  Father, whose every thought is as loving as the Thought of His Father
Tx:10.84  His Father, whose every thought is as loving as the Thought of His  Father by which He was created. Be not deceived in God's Son, for
Tx:10.84  yourself. And being deceived in yourself, you are deceived in your  Father in Whom no deceit is possible.
Tx:10.86  deceived in God's Son, for he is one with himself and one with his  Father. Love him who is beloved of His Father, and you will learn of
Tx:10.86  with himself and one with his Father. Love him who is beloved of His  Father, and you will learn of the Father's love for you.
Tx:10.88  own fear. You, my children, are afraid of your brothers and of your  Father and of yourselves. But you are merely deceived in them.
Tx:10.89  they are frightened. It is not the reality of your brothers or your  Father or yourself which frightens you. You do not know what they
Tx:10.90  real world in place of the false one you have made. And then your  Father will lean down to you and take the last step for you by
Tx:11.7  for the help of God, and you will recognize your own need for the  Father.
Tx:11.8  you answer in the name of Christ brings the remembrance of your  Father closer to your awareness. For the sake of your need, then,
Tx:11.16  brother what he really wants is to offer it unto yourself, for your  Father wills you to know your brother as yourself. Answer his call
Tx:11.16  love and yours is answered. Healing is the love of Christ for His  Father and for Himself.
Tx:11.19  way of love, for nothing can withstand the love of Christ for His  Father or His Father's love for Him.
Tx:11.20  my help, for I did not walk alone, and I will walk with you as our  Father walked with me. Did you not know that I walked with Him in
Tx:11.33 You were willing to accept even death to deny your  Father. Yet He would not have it so, and so it is not so. You still
Tx:11.39  He will never deceive God's Son, whom He loves with the love of the  Father.
Tx:11.41 Behold the Guide your  Father gave you that you might learn you have eternal life. For death
Tx:11.41  Father's Will nor yours, and whatever is true is the Will of the  Father. You pay no price for life, for that was given you, but you do
Tx:11.54  Remembering you always, He cannot let you forget your worth. For the  Father never ceases to remind Him of His Son, and He never ceases to
Tx:11.54  remind Him of His Son, and He never ceases to remind His Son of the  Father. God is in your memory because of Him. You chose to forget
Tx:11.54  God is in your memory because of Him. You chose to forget your  Father, but you did not will to do so, and therefore you can decide
Tx:11.57  you the real world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him your  Father calls His Son to remember. The awakening of His Son begins
Tx:11.57  he will learn to reinvest in himself. For reality is one with the  Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit blesses the real world in
Tx:11.58  blessing. For the Holy Spirit will lead everyone home to his  Father, where Christ waits as his Self.
Tx:11.59  as Christ's is in God. Christ's love for you is His love for His  Father, which He knows because He knows His Father's love for Him.
Tx:11.59  the Holy Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His  Father, perception fuses into knowledge because perception has become
Tx:11.60  into it, and the Spirit of God's Son shines in the Mind of the  Father and becomes one with it. Very gently does God shine upon
Tx:11.71  of the mind which created us. For we are there in the peace of the  Father, Who wills to project His peace through you.
Tx:11.75  it is a traitor to you who believe you have been treacherous to your  Father. That is why the undoing of guilt is an essential part of the
Tx:11.76  for myself alone? And would eternal life have been given me of the  Father unless He had also given it to you? When you learn to make me
Tx:11.77 Do you really believe that you can kill the Son of God? The  Father has hidden His Son safely within Himself and kept him far away
Tx:11.77  far away from your destructive thoughts, but you know neither the  Father nor the Son because of them. You attack the real world every
Tx:11.78 God's Son is as safe as his  Father, for the Son knows his Father's protection and cannot fear.
Tx:11.78  you chose to attack him, and he disappeared from your sight into his  Father. He did not change, but you did. For a split mind and all its
Tx:11.78  you did. For a split mind and all its works were not created by the  Father and could not live in the knowledge of Him.
Tx:11.82  all of it. He has remembered you because He forgot not the  Father.
Tx:11.84  The Atonement is but the way back to what was never lost. Your  Father could not cease to love His Son.
Tx:11.85  denial but to hold on to it. For it is guilt that has obscured the  Father to you, and it is guilt that has driven you insane.
Tx:11.87  could have touched none of you, had you not believed that it was the  Father Who drove him out of paradise. For in that belief, the
Tx:11.87  drove him out of paradise. For in that belief, the knowledge of the  Father was lost, since only those who do not understand Him could
Tx:11.89  He wills to remove all guilt from his mind that he may remember his  Father in peace. For peace and guilt are antithetical, and the Father
Tx:11.89  his Father in peace. For peace and guilt are antithetical, and the  Father can be remembered only in peace. Love and guilt cannot
Tx:11.92  God has set himself is foolish indeed, but the journey on which his  Father sets him is one of release and joy. The Father is not cruel,
Tx:11.92  journey on which his Father sets him is one of release and joy. The  Father is not cruel, and His Son cannot hurt himself. The retaliation
Tx:11.93  judge him not, for his eternal guiltlessness is in the mind of his  Father, and protects him forever.
Tx:11.94  have always followed him, for he has always extended the love of his  Father.
Tx:11.95  awakening. The Son of God, who sleepeth not, has kept faith with his  Father for you. There is no road to travel on and no time to travel
Tx:12.9  no dark cloud will remain between you and the remembrance of your  Father, for you will remember His guiltless Son, who did not die
Tx:12.12  by removing the dark cloud that obscures it, your love for your  Father would impel you to answer His call and leap into Heaven. You
Tx:12.18  so dear, is your real call for help. For you call for love to your  Father as your Father calls you to Himself. In that place which you
Tx:12.18  real call for help. For you call for love to your Father as your  Father calls you to Himself. In that place which you have hidden, you
Tx:12.18  In that place which you have hidden, you will only to unite with the  Father in loving remembrance of Him. You will find this place of
Tx:12.19 Save him from his illusions that you may accept the magnitude of your  Father in peace and joy. But exempt no one from your love, or you
Tx:12.20  for the request was alien to Him, and you could not ask this of a  Father Who truly loved His Son. Therefore you made of Him an unloving
Tx:12.20  peace of God's Son was shattered, for he no longer understood his  Father. He feared what he had made, but still more did he fear his
Tx:12.20  He feared what he had made, but still more did he fear his real  Father, having attacked his own glorious equality with Him.
Tx:12.21  to his demands except by departing in peace and returning to the  Father? If the Son did not wish to remain in peace, he could not
Tx:12.39 Little children, would you offer this to your  Father? For if you offer it to yourself, you are offering it to Him.
Tx:12.40  worlds, for as we are united, so would we unite with them. The  Father welcomes all of us in gladness, and gladness is what we should
Tx:12.42  within you, and He would extend it. And He will not return unto the  Father until He has extended your perception even unto Him. And there
Tx:12.42  Him. And there perception is no more, for He has returned you to the  Father with Him.
Tx:12.43  vision He beholds Himself. And seeing what He is, He knows His  Father. Beyond your darkest dreams, He sees God's guiltless Son
Tx:12.43  Him, for His vision is His gift of love to you, given Him of the  Father for you.
Tx:12.44  they are. Because they saw the Son, they have risen in Him to the  Father. And all this will they understand because they looked within
Tx:12.52  shines forth from God's Son is the witness that his light is of his  Father.
Tx:12.55  which you have given it. And here will everything remind you of your  Father and His Holy Son. Light is unlimited and spreads across this
Tx:12.57  and given you the gifts He gave. God's Son is still as loving as his  Father. Continuous with his Father, he has no past apart from Him. So
Tx:12.57  God's Son is still as loving as his Father. Continuous with his  Father, he has no past apart from Him. So he has never ceased to be
Tx:12.67  is your awakening to what you have not lost. Praise, then, the  Father for the perfect sanity of His most holy Son.
Tx:12.68 Your  Father knoweth that you have need of nothing. In Heaven this is so,
Tx:12.76  how to remember you. Thus does the Son of God give thanks unto his  Father for his purity.
Tx:13.4 Apart from the  Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit has no function. He is not
Tx:13.6  and equal in their holiness. And He will offer them unto His  Father as they were offered unto Him. There is one miracle, as there
Tx:13.6  was is God's most holy Son, created in the One Reality that is his  Father. Christ's vision is His gift to you. His Being is His Father's
Tx:13.7  are part of it and all of it, need only realize that it is of the  Father, not of you. Your role in the redemption leads you to it by
Tx:13.8  time will be over, and we will all unite in the eternity of God the  Father. The holy light you saw outside yourself in every miracle you
Tx:13.8  is in you, your creations will be there with you, as you are in your  Father.
Tx:13.11 Guilt remains the only thing that hides the  Father, for guilt is the attack upon His Son. The guilty always
Tx:13.17  the Atonement, shining in quiet and in peace upon the altar to your  Father.
Tx:13.19 Within you is the holy sign of perfect faith your  Father has in you. He does not value you as you do. He knows Himself
Tx:13.24  is welcome to you as you would have yourself be welcome to your  Father, you will see no guilt in you. For you will have accepted the
Tx:13.27  within and seen the radiance there, he will remember how much his  Father loves him. And it will seem incredible that he has ever
Tx:13.27  loves him. And it will seem incredible that he has ever thought his  Father loved him not and looked upon him as condemned. The moment
Tx:13.28  to the holy place where you will see the light. The altar to your  Father is as pure as He Who raised it to Himself. Nothing can keep
Tx:13.29  fear in love, for love is guiltless. You who have always loved your  Father can have no fear for any reason to look within and see your
Tx:13.31  be still. In quiet look upon his holiness and offer thanks unto his  Father that no guilt has ever touched him.
Tx:13.32  for what you see will banish guilt forever. I thank You,  Father, for the purity of Your most holy Son, whom You have created
Tx:13.33  I offer unto it. My faith in you is strong as all the love I give my  Father. My trust in you is without limit and without the fear that
Tx:13.33  limit and without the fear that you will hear me not. I thank the  Father for your loveliness and for the many gifts that you will let
Tx:13.34 Praise be unto you who make the  Father one with His own Son. Alone we are all lowly, but together we
Tx:13.34  will be so purified that it is fitting as a hymn of praise unto your  Father. See only praise of Him in what He has created, for He will
Tx:13.40  want, and only this. Fear not the Holy Spirit will fail in what your  Father has given Him to do. The Will of God can fail in nothing.
Tx:13.52  by the capricious and unholy whim of death and murder that your  Father shared not with you. You have set yourselves the task of
Tx:13.67  it manifest and sharing it. Let me bring peace to God's Son from his  Father.
Tx:13.79  of God's Son, whom He created holy, for to do so is to evaluate his  Father and judge against Him. And you will feel guilty for this
Tx:13.81  alone without you. And so He gives you what is yours because your  Father would have you share it with Him. In everything be led by Him
Tx:13.86  first in time means nothing, but the First in eternity is God the  Father, Who is both First and One. Beyond the First, there is no
Tx:13.88  your most holy mind be undone for you and stand in grace before your  Father, He will give Himself to you as He has always done. Giving
Tx:13.91  attempt, which cheats you of the joy of living with your God and  Father, and awaking gladly to His love and holiness, which join
Tx:14.1  for knowing Him. Accepting His Son as guilty is denial of the  Father so complete that knowledge is swept away from recognition in
Tx:14.2  for Him and for yourselves. You cannot understand how much your  Father loves you, for there is no parallel in your experience of the
Tx:14.3 The Children of Heaven live in the light of the blessing of their  Father because they know that they are sinless. The Atonement was
Tx:14.3  of the Son of God. It does not teach you what you are or what your  Father is. The Holy Spirit, Who remembers this for you, merely
Tx:14.7 Blessed Son of a wholly blessing  Father, joy was created for you. Who can condemn whom God has
Tx:14.8  separation slip away and full communication be restored between the  Father and the Son.
Tx:14.13  are you who teach with me. Our power comes not of us but of our  Father. In guiltlessness we know Him, as He knows us guiltless. I
Tx:14.20  means which you have made for breaking your communication with your  Father. The Holy Spirit reinterprets it as a means of reestablishing
Tx:14.32  Whom He would save for glory is saved for it. He has promised the  Father that through Him you would be released from littleness to
Tx:14.33  with the one promise given unto Him to lay upon the altar to your  Father and His Son. No altar stands to God without His Son. And
Tx:14.33  worthy of both but will be replaced by gifts wholly acceptable to  Father and to Son. Can you offer guilt to God? You cannot, then,
Tx:14.34  be divided cannot cease. The holy meeting place of the unseparated  Father and His Son lies in the Holy Spirit and in you. All
Tx:14.34  here. Unbroken and uninterrupted love flows constantly between the  Father and the Son, as both would have it be. And so it is.
Tx:14.36  and by His creations. In the holy meeting place are joined the  Father and His creations, and the creations of His Son with them
Tx:14.37 The link with which the  Father joins Himself to those He gives the power to create like Him
Tx:14.37  together with the gift of God, and only what is worthy of the  Father will be accepted by the Son, for whom it was intended. To whom
Tx:14.38  is the Holy Spirit's only function. Keep not your making from your  Father, for hiding it has cost you knowledge of Him and of
Tx:14.47  only perception the Son of God accepts. And thus, remembrance of his  Father dawns on him, and he can no longer be satisfied with anything
Tx:14.55  for no thought you hold is for yourself. If you would remember your  Father, let the Holy Spirit order your thoughts and give only the
Tx:14.63  but one thing: you think you do not will for God's Son what His  Father wills for him. Every dark lesson teaches this in one form or
Tx:14.63  ones you do not accept and hide, teaches you that you will with the  Father unto His Son.
Tx:14.67  miracles has been provided for you. God's Son can make no needs His  Father will not meet if he but turn to Him ever so little. Yet He
Tx:14.71  here, and you will remember that you have always created like your  Father. The miracle of creation has never ceased, having the holy
Tx:15.14  enough to transcend all of the ego's making and ascend unto your  Father.
Tx:15.26  without His Son, and His Son cannot be content with less than his  Father has given him. We asked you once before, “Would you be hostage
Tx:15.28  then, with littleness, in the name of Christ, eternal Host unto His  Father.
Tx:15.31  is not of this world because it is in you. And you are of your  Father. Let us join in honoring you, who must remain forever beyond
Tx:15.32 Decide with me, who have decided to abide with you. I will as my  Father wills, knowing His Will is constant and at peace forever with
Tx:15.32  no less, remembering that everything I learned is yours. What my  Father loves, I love as He does, and I can no more accept it as what
Tx:15.38  you learn how perfect and immaculate is the holy altar on which your  Father has placed Himself? This you will recognize in the holy
Tx:15.46  For to experience yourself as alone is to deny the oneness of the  Father and his Son and thus to attack reality.
Tx:15.59  What you find difficult to accept is the fact that, like your  Father, you are an idea. And like Him, you can give yourself
Tx:15.63  in ideas minds can communicate. If you would give yourself as your  Father gives His Self, you will learn to understand Selfhood. And
Tx:15.65  and always obscured by it is the powerful attraction of the  Father for His Son. There is no other love that can satisfy you,
Tx:15.81  never leave. The loneliness of God's Son is the loneliness of his  Father. Refuse not the awareness of your completion and seek not to
Tx:15.82  are joined in God through Christ, where they become like to their  Father. For Christ knows of no separation from His Father, Who is His
Tx:15.82  like to their Father. For Christ knows of no separation from His  Father, Who is His one relationship, in which He gives as His Father
Tx:15.82  His Father, Who is His one relationship, in which He gives as His  Father gives to Him.
Tx:15.90  weak and dim and limited, for you have attempted to separate the  Father from the Son and limit their communication. Seek not Atonement
Tx:15.92 It is in your power in time to delay the perfect union of the  Father and the Son. For in this world, the attraction of guilt does
Tx:15.101  to protect yourself from where it is not. Your brothers and your  Father have become very fearful to you. And you would bargain with
Tx:15.103  our relationship, which is as innocent as our relationship with our  Father, and as powerful. Pain will be brought to us and disappear in
Tx:15.104  of your relationship with God. Through guilt you exclude your  Father and your brothers from yourself. Through peace you invite them
Tx:15.108  Christ, which I give you that you may give it and return it to the  Father, Who gave it to me. For in the time of Christ, communication
Tx:15.109  Wholeness as we welcome Him into ourselves. Those who receive the  Father are one with Him, being host to Him Who created them. And by
Tx:15.109  created them. And by allowing Him to enter, the remembrance of the  Father enters with Him, and with Him they remember the only
Tx:16.27  will learn His power and strength and purity, and love Him as His  Father does. His Kingdom has no limits and no end, and there is
Tx:16.39  your own sense of completion and thus denies the wholeness of your  Father. Every fantasy, be it of love or hate, deprives you of
Tx:16.41 Your  Father can no more forget the truth in you than you can fail to
Tx:16.81 Forgive us our illusions,  Father, and help us to accept our true relationship with You in which
Tx:17.7  which the Holy Spirit loves to look upon and which He thanks the  Father for. He was created to see this for you until you learn to see
Tx:17.42  and know it to be true. Let us ascend in peace together to the  Father by giving Him ascendance in our minds. We will gain everything
Tx:17.79  for your relationship, you became givers of peace as surely as your  Father gave peace to you. For the goal of peace cannot be accepted
Tx:18.49  of Heaven is the dwelling-place of the Son of God, who left not his  Father and dwells not apart from Him. Heaven is not a place nor a
Tx:19.11  the gracious acknowledgment of everyone as a Son of your most loving  Father, loved by Him like you and therefore loved by you as yourself.
Tx:19.12  offer to the Son of God through Him, and wholly acceptable to his  Father as to him. And therefore offered you.
Tx:19.20  is this doctrine which replaces the reality of the Son of God as his  Father created him and willed that he be forever. Is this humility?
Tx:19.23  present, and his future. For he has somehow managed to corrupt his  Father and changed His Mind completely. Mourn, then, the death of
Tx:19.39  gently before His Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And the  Father will accept them in His Name. What need is there of seeing in
Tx:19.63  fear. You want salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you want your  Father, not a little mound of clay, to be your home. In your holy
Tx:19.66  itself. Salvation flows from deep within the home you offered to my  Father and to me. And we are there together in the quiet communion in
Tx:19.66  to me. And we are there together in the quiet communion in which the  Father and the Son are joined. Oh come ye faithful to the holy union
Tx:19.66  and the Son are joined. Oh come ye faithful to the holy union of the  Father and Son in you! And keep you not apart from what is offered
Tx:19.76  the Holy Spirit, too, is a communication medium, receiving from the  Father and offering His messages unto the Son. Like the ego, the Holy
Tx:19.85  against the ego's savage wish to kill. My brothers, children of our  Father, this is a dream of death. There is no funeral, no dark
Tx:19.90  held no attraction for you? Very simply, you would remember your  Father. The Creator of life, the Source of everything that lives, the
Tx:19.90  The Creator of life, the Source of everything that lives, the  Father of the universe and of the universe of universes and of
Tx:19.93  lifted so you could look upon the face of Christ and join Him in His  Father.
Tx:19.107  of God's Son and let him rise again to glad remembrance of his  Father, Who knows no sin, no death, but only life eternal.

Tx:20.27  where they will to be? Each of you now will lead the other to the  Father as surely as God created His Son holy and kept him so. In your
Tx:20.37  in a holy relationship. There he begins to find the certainty his  Father has in him. And there he finds his function of restoring his
Tx:20.40  you want except his offering? His worth has been established by his  Father, and you will recognize it as you receive his Father's gift
Tx:20.44  to him and know it rests in safety? He looks upon himself not as his  Father knows him. And yet it is impossible the confidence of God
Tx:20.45  the Son of God invented an unholy relationship between him and his  Father. His real relationship is one of perfect union and unbroken
Tx:20.45  broken into fragments, and full of fear. The one created by his  Father is wholly self-encompassing and self-extending. The one he
Tx:20.54  reflects the true relationship the Son of God has with his  Father in reality. The Holy Spirit rests within it in the certainty
Tx:20.57  can they long withhold the memory of their relationship with their  Father from themselves and keep remembrance of His love apart from
Tx:20.70  not. And as you look upon each other, you will see an altar to your  Father, holy as Heaven, glowing with radiant purity and sparkling
Tx:21.11  of God, whom you know well. Here is the sight of him who knows his  Father. Here is the memory of what you are—a part of this, with all
Tx:21.11  to you as is this ancient hymn [of love] the Son of God sings to his  Father still.
Tx:21.26  made has power to make you what it wills, you are confusing Son and  Father, effect and Source.
Tx:21.28 Yet the truth is you were both created by a loving  Father Who created you together and as one. See what “proves”
Tx:21.28  between you, keeping you from each other and separate from your  Father, you made in secret, and the instant of release has come to
Tx:21.64  by your choice that he is damned—separate from you and from his  Father forever and without a hope of safe return. You teach him this,
Tx:21.68  blessing. The gratitude he offers you reminds you of the thanks your  Father gives you for completing Him. And here alone does reason tell
Tx:21.68  does reason tell you that you can understand what you must be. Your  Father is as close to you as is your brother. Yet what is there that
Tx:22.15  other as His chosen home, for here you will with Him and with His  Father. This is your Father's Will for you, and yours with His. And
Tx:22.47  and what can separate whom He has joined as one with Him? It is your  Father Whom you would defend against. Yet it remains impossible to
Tx:22.54  than the sun which lights the sky you see, is chosen of your  Father as a means for His own plan. Be thankful that it serves yours
Tx:22.59 What can it be but universal blessing to look on what your  Father loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness is the Holy
Tx:22.61 Who can attack the Son of God and not attack his  Father? How can God's Son be weak and frail and easily destroyed
Tx:22.61  How can God's Son be weak and frail and easily destroyed unless his  Father is? You do not see that every sin and every condemnation which
Tx:22.61  condemnation which you perceive and justify is an attack upon your  Father. And that is why it has not happened nor could be real. You do
Tx:22.61  real. You do not see that this is your attempt because you think the  Father and the Son are separate. And you must think that they are
Tx:22.62  attack a part of the creation without the whole, the Son without the  Father, and to attack another without yourself or hurt yourself
Tx:23.11  is not himself and not his Father's Son. For this, the memory of his  Father must be forgotten. It is forgotten in the body's life, and if
Tx:23.15  be crowned as real, the other vanquished and despised. Here will the  Father never be remembered. Yet no illusion can invade His home and
Tx:23.23 Think what this seems to do to the relationship between the  Father and the Son. Now it appears that they can never be one again.
Tx:23.49  extension, and what is His must be His Son's as well. Either the  Father and the Son are murderers or neither is. Life makes not death,
Tx:23.53  battle still are gone and not perceived. The body stands between the  Father and the Heaven He created for His Son because it has no
Tx:24.8  this that will not hurt you? Your brother is your friend because his  Father created him like you. There is no difference. You have been
Tx:24.10  are alike. You have no purpose that is not the same and none your  Father does not share with you. For your relationship has been made
Tx:24.14  Here is the self-made “savior,” the “creator” who creates unlike the  Father and which made His Son like to itself and not like unto Him.
Tx:24.17 The shining radiance of the Son of God—so like his  Father that the memory of Him springs instantly to mind. And with
Tx:24.17  the Son remembers his own creations, as like to him as he is to his  Father. And all the world he made and all his specialness and all the
Tx:24.31  the universe, the Source of life, of love and holiness, the perfect  Father of a perfect Son, for your illusions of your specialness. Here
Tx:24.33  of them. The print of nails are on your hands as well. Forgive your  Father. It was not His Will that you be crucified.
Tx:24.37  what comfort has ever been in them that you would keep the gift your  Father asks from Him and give it there instead? Given to Him, the
Tx:24.40  what He sees because He knows that it is one with Him and with His  Father. Specialness, too, takes joy in what it sees, although it is
Tx:24.49  before his holiness. See in him God's creation. For in him, his  Father waits for your acknowledgment that He created you as part of
Tx:24.50  there would be a lack in God, a Heaven incomplete, a Son without a  Father. There could be no universe and no reality. For what God wills
Tx:24.50  he has is yours because you are not separate from him nor from his  Father.
Tx:24.52  by the world, by time, and all appearances, you will not know the  Father nor yourself. For you will use the world for what is not its
Tx:24.61  know. To Him this judgment makes no sense at all, for only what His  Father wills is possible, and there is no alternative for Him to see.
Tx:24.62  reverence. This is your son, beloved of you as you are to your  Father. Yet it stands in place of your creations, who are son to you,
Tx:24.66 The  Father keeps what He created safe. You cannot touch it with the false
Tx:24.68 A co-creator with the  Father must have a Son. Yet must this Son have been created like
Tx:25.4  aspects of His holiness, which meet and join and raise Him to His  Father, whole and pure and worthy of His everlasting Love.
Tx:25.8  you to join the truth may reach to you through what you understand.  Father and Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join
Tx:25.8  as One, as all your brothers join as one in truth. Christ and His  Father never have been separate, and Christ abides within your
Tx:25.9  where the error lies. Because His purpose still is one with both the  Father and the Son, He knows the Will of God and what you really
Tx:25.20  His praise of what He loves? God cherishes creation as the perfect  Father that He is. And so His joy is made complete when any part of
Tx:25.21  your brother, and you cannot separate yourself from him nor from his  Father. You need no forgiveness, for the wholly pure have never
Tx:25.21  what He has given you that you may see His Son as one and thank his  Father as He thanks you. Nor believe that all His praise is given not
Tx:25.21  His gift to you. And give the Holy Spirit what He offers unto the  Father and the Son alike. Nothing has power over you except His Will
Tx:25.53  Son because the Son is mad, and sanity must lie apart from both the  Father and the Son. This you believe. Think not that this belief
Tx:25.53  form of reason believes this to be true. Sin is not real because the  Father and the Son are not insane. This world is meaningless because
Tx:25.55  eternal truth of what you are. And each reflects a view of what the  Father and the Son must be to make that viewpoint meaningful and sane.
Tx:25.58  without a special function in the hope of peace than could the  Father overlook His Son and pass him by in careless thoughtlessness.
Tx:25.76  to them both, since they are equal in the Holy Spirit's sight. Their  Father gave the same inheritance to both. Who would have more or less
Tx:26.4  could be demanded than that God's Son perceive himself without his  Father? And his Father be without His Son? Yet every sacrifice
Tx:26.4  than that God's Son perceive himself without his Father? And his  Father be without His Son? Yet every sacrifice demands that they be
Tx:26.27  in its place. Who could behold the face of Christ and not recall His  Father as He really is? Who could fear love and stand upon the ground
Tx:26.38  can only be unreal. Such is the justice your ever-loving  Father has ensured must come to you. And from your own unfairness to
Tx:26.61  will he know himself nor recognize his will.] He has forsworn his  Father and himself and made them both his enemies in hate.
Tx:26.63  again. In every wish to hurt, he chooses death instead of what his  Father wills for him. Yet every instant offers life to him because
Tx:26.63  wills for him. Yet every instant offers life to him because his  Father wills that he should live.
Tx:26.64  be forever. For you have power to save the Son of God because his  Father willed that it be so. And in your hands does all salvation
Tx:26.84  an ancient enmity that came to kill. In gentle gratitude do God the  Father and the Son return to what is Theirs and will forever be. Now
Tx:26.91 By this do I deny the Presence of the  Father and the Son. And I would rather know of Them than see
Tx:27.1  occur at all, it would entail the whole of God's creation and the  Father with the sacrifice of his beloved Son.
Tx:27.18  and miserable cry of death and guilt. The ancient calling of the  Father to His Son, and of the Son unto his own, will yet be the last
Tx:27.73  Son and made him think that he has lost his innocence, denied his  Father, and made war upon himself. So fearful is the dream, so
Tx:27.76 He represents his  Father, Whom you see as offering both life and death to you. Brother,
Tx:27.76  see as gifts your brother offers represent the gifts you dream your  Father gives to you. Let all your brother's gifts be seen in light of
Tx:28.15  where he can glimpse another shore which he can never reach. His  Father wills that he be lifted up and gently carried over. He has
Tx:28.16  there is no cause. The cause a cause is made by its effects; the  Father is a father by His Son. Effects do not create their cause, but
Tx:28.23 The separation started with the dream the  Father was deprived of His effects and powerless to keep them since
Tx:28.35  was. And in your storehouse it will make a place of welcome for your  Father and your Self. The door is open that all those may come who
Tx:28.36  Them. And no one is deprived or can deprive. Here is a feast the  Father lays before His Son and shares it equally with him. And in
Tx:28.43  not his dream, has left the space between them vacant. And the  Father comes to join His Son the Holy Spirit joined.
Tx:28.44  left clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin. And here the  Father will receive His Son, because His Son was gracious to himself.
Tx:28.45 I thank you,  Father, knowing you will come to close each little gap that lies
Tx:28.46  brother's dreams but join with him, and where you join His Son, the  Father is. Who seeks for substitutes when he perceives he has lost
Tx:28.59  God keeps His promises; His Son keeps his. In his creation did his  Father say, “You are beloved of Me and I of you forever. Be you
Tx:28.60  something he has not. A space where God is not, a gap between the  Father and the Son is not the will of either, who have promised to be
Tx:28.66  health, upon his happiness, his sinlessness, and everything his  Father promised him. No secret promise you have made instead has
Tx:29.21 Think you the  Father lost Himself when He created you? Was He made weak because He
Tx:29.24  gratitude and love. He is himself, but not himself alone. And as his  Father lost not part of Him in your creation, so the light in him is
Tx:29.31  still no sound except a hymn to Heaven rises up to gladden God the  Father and the Son. Where both abide are They remembered both. And
Tx:29.34 There is no gift the  Father asks of you but that you see in all creation but the shining
Tx:29.34  of His gift to you. Behold His Son, His perfect gift in whom his  Father shines forever and to whom is all creation given as his own.
Tx:29.35  house. Would you not want to be a friend to him, created by his  Father as His home? If God esteems him worthy of Himself, would you
Tx:29.39  cannot keep. The Son of Life cannot be killed. He is immortal as his  Father. What he is cannot be changed. He is the only thing in all the
Tx:29.51  chants of deep despair to idols of yourself. Seek not outside your  Father for your hope. For hope of happiness is not despair.
Tx:29.57  chaos, and the Son of God, as perfect, sinless and as loving as his  Father, come to hate a little while, to suffer pain, and finally to
Tx:30.46 Who knows the  Father knows this light, for He is the eternal sky which holds it
Tx:30.48  The mind of Heaven's Son in Heaven is, for there the mind of  Father and Son joined in creation which can have no end. You have not
Tx:30.60  be himself, and to remember that the Son of God knows everything his  Father understands and understands it perfectly with Him.
Tx:30.63  Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked upon before the  Father is remembered. For He must be unremembered till His Son has
Tx:30.79 I thank you,  Father, for your perfect Son, and in his glory will I see my own.
Tx:30.81  you a graven image and a sign of death. Is this your savior? Is his  Father wrong about His Son? Or have you been deceived in him who has
Tx:31.24  love each other with a brother's love. And as a brother, must his  Father be the same as yours, as he is like yourself.
Tx:31.67  does not matter if you think you are in earth or Heaven. What your  Father wills for you can never change. The truth in you remains as
Tx:31.95 I thank You,  Father, for these holy ones who are my brothers as they are Your
W1:45.11  it as you would an altar dedicated in Heaven itself to God the  Father and God the Son. For such is the place you are trying to
W1:50.4  Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the resting place where your  Father has placed you forever.
W1:56.5  Beyond all my insane wishes is my will united with the Will of my  Father. God is still everywhere and in everything forever. And we who
W1:58.6  suffer any loss or deprivation or pain because of who I am. My  Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things. His
W1:67.8  that tells you this. This is the Voice for God reminding you of your  Father and of your Self. This is the Voice of truth replacing
W1:69.8 Have confidence in your  Father today. And be certain that He has heard you and has answered
W1:72.12 What is salvation,  Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may understand.
W1:72.14  our ears. Now we would see and hear and learn. “What is salvation,  Father?” Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you will find.
W1:72.16 What is salvation,  Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may understand.
W1:72.19  plan for salvation. Let me accept it instead. What is salvation,  Father?
W1:73.3  a world have been created by the will the Son of God shares with his  Father? Did God create disaster for His Son? Creation is the will of
W1:73.10  you unwillingly. It is the one purpose here on which you and your  Father are in perfect accord.
W1:76.11  saw. Then listen further. He will tell you more. About the love your  Father has for you. About the endless joy He offers you. About His
W1:76.14  all danger and all tyranny. It is our acknowledgment that God is our  Father and that His Son is saved.
W1:77.2  in the truth of what you are. It is implicit in what God your  Father is. It was ensured in your creation and guaranteed by the laws
W1:95.17  Son of God, united with your brothers in this Self, united with your  Father in His Will.
W1:95.20  of peace. Your own acknowledgment you are One Self, united with your  Father, is a call to all the world to be at one with you. To everyone
W1:99.9  what you say, for these are words in which your freedom lies. Your  Father loves you. All the world of pain is not His Will. Forgive
W1:99.15  your completeness, unity, and peace. You cannot lose the gifts your  Father gave. You do not want to be another self. You have no function
W1:100.1 Just as God's Son completes his  Father, so your part in it completes your Father's plan. Salvation
W1:106.2 Listen and hear your  Father speak to you through His appointed Voice, Which silences the
W1:106.5  voice to speak to them, for who could reach God's Son except his  Father calling through your Self?
W1:107.8  will give you yours. You were not meant to suffer and to die. Your  Father wills these dreams be gone. Let truth correct them all. We do
W1:107.10  of life to Him as well. He is your brother and so like to you your  Father knows that you are both the same. It is your Self you ask to
W1:117.3  truth. Love is my heritage and with it joy. These are the gifts my  Father gave to me. I would accept all that is mine in truth.
W1:120.3  God's Son. Today I lay aside all sick illusions of myself and let my  Father tell me Who I really am.
W1:122.3  clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your  Father can arise across the threshold of your mind.
W1:123.2  gifts you have received. Be glad today in loving thankfulness your  Father has not left you to yourself, nor let you wander in the dark
W1:123.8  He gave His Son that he might rise above the world remembering his  Father and his Self.
W1:124.7  have accepted and we now would give, for we would keep the gifts our  Father gave. Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so
W1:124.7  experience the world is freed; as we deny our separation from our  Father, it is healed along with us.
W1:125.1 Let this day be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your  Father wills you hear His Word today. He calls to you from deep
W1:125.4 Hear, holy Son of God, your  Father speak. His Voice would give to you His holy Word to spread
W1:125.8  and purpose, with no separation nor division in the single Mind of  Father and of Son. In quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him
W1:127.3  is the power holding everything as one, the link between the  Father and the Son which holds them both forever as the same.
W1:127.8 Call to your  Father, certain that His Voice will answer. He Himself has promised
W1:132.13  Himself. What He creates is not apart from Him, and nowhere does the  Father end, the Son begin as something separate from Him.
W1:132.14  because it is a thought apart from God and made to separate the  Father and the Son and break away a part of God Himself and thus
W1:132.15  They cannot be there—no more than we. For we are in the home our  Father set for us along with them. And we who are as He created us
W1:136.10  opposed by a decision stronger than His Will. His Son is dust, the  Father incomplete, and chaos sits in triumph on His throne.
W1:140.8  to find the source of healing, which is in our minds because our  Father placed it there for us. It is not further from us than
W1:140.11  to make them different and thus delay the time when we can hear our  Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We come to Him today.
W1:140.13 Only salvation can be said to cure. Speak to us,  Father, that we may be healed.
W1:R4.4 This is a fact and represents the truth of what you are and what your  Father is. It is this thought by which the Father gave creation to
W1:R4.4  you are and what your Father is. It is this thought by which the  Father gave creation to the Son, establishing the Son as co-creator
W1:R4.4  to the Son. For in his mind no thoughts can dwell but those his  Father shares. Lack of forgiveness blocks this thought from his
W1:R4.11  happiness and rest and endless quiet, perfect certainty, and all our  Father wills that we receive as the inheritance we have of Him.
W1:142.1 [123] I thank my  Father for His gifts to me.
W1:151.9  reality. What can the body mean to Him Who knows the glory of the  Father and the Son? What whispers of the ego can He hear? What could
W1:152.8  take the place of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the  Father and the Son.
W1:152.15  Self. God's Voice will answer, for He speaks for you and for your  Father. He will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic
W1:153.13 You who have played that you are lost to hope, abandoned by your  Father, left alone in terror in a fearful world made mad by sin and
W1:154.4 It is this joining through the Voice of God of  Father and of Son that sets apart salvation from the world. It is
W1:158.2  shared directly in the way that vision can. The revelation that the  Father and the Son are one will come in time to every mind. Yet is
W1:159.4  in His sight the sinless are as one. Their holiness was given by His  Father and Himself.
W1:160.8  assure you, quietly and sure, that you are not a stranger to your  Father, nor is your Creator stranger made to you. Whom God has joined
W1:163.4  love and Heaven's perfect, changeless constancy. Here is the Will of  Father and of Son defeated finally and laid to rest beneath the
W1:163.7  over His, and so eternal life gave way to death. And with the  Father died the Son as well.
W1:163.9 Our  Father, bless our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would
W1:165.1  and death obscure the perfect happiness and the Eternal Life your  Father wills for you? And what could hide what cannot be concealed
W1:167.1  an opposite to God does not exist. There is no death because the  Father and the Son are one.
W1:168.7 Your grace is given me. I claim it now.  Father, I come to You. And You will come to me who asks. I am the Son
W1:169.4  appeared to contradict our statement that the revelation of the  Father and the Son as one has been already set. But we have also said
W1:169.6  holy face of Christ. The Son of God has merely disappeared into His  Father, as his Father has in him. The world has never been at all.
W1:169.6  The Son of God has merely disappeared into His Father, as his  Father has in him. The world has never been at all. Eternity remains
W1:170.14  Father, we are like You. No cruelty abides in us for there is none in
W1:R5.2 Steady our feet, our  Father; let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and
W1:R5.6  love, and never changes from Its constant state of union with Its  Father and Itself.
W1:R5.11  not a way we walk alone. In him I walk with you and you with me. Our  Father wills His Son be one with Him. What lives but must not then be
W1:182.5 It is this Child in you your  Father knows as His own Son. It is this Child Who knows His Father.
W1:182.5  you your Father knows as His own Son. It is this Child Who knows His  Father. He desires to go home so deeply, so unceasingly, His voice
W1:183.11  His Father's Thoughts become his own. He makes his claim to all his  Father gave, is giving still, and will forever give. He calls on Him
W1:183.12  universe consists of nothing but the Son of God who calls upon his  Father. And his Father's Voice gives answer in his Father's holy
W1:184.15  Father, our Name is Yours. In It we are united with all living things
W1:186.3  quite sobering until you see its meaning. All it says is that your  Father still remembers you and offers you the perfect trust He holds
W1:187.10  for fear has gone. And here, before the altar to one God, one  Father, one Creator and one thought, we stand together as one Son of
W1:188.6  their home. And they point surely to their Source where God the  Father and the Son are one.
W1:189.8  all obstacles that you have interposed between the Son and God the  Father to be quietly removed forever. God will do His part in joyful
W1:189.10  Father, we do not know the way to You. But we have called, and You
W1:190.3  The body is the Son of God, corruptible in death, as mortal as the  Father he has slain.
W1:193.20  hold the key that opens Heaven's gate and brings the Love of God the  Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven. God will take
W1:195.4  only be sincere if it is joined to love. We offer thanks to God our  Father that in us all things will find their freedom. It will never
W1:195.6 We thank our  Father for one thing alone—that we are separate from no living
W1:196.5  of God is real. And what is that but hell? Who could believe his  Father is his deadly enemy, separate from him and waiting to destroy
W1:196.11  can call on Him to save you from illusions in His Love, calling Him  Father and yourself His Son. Pray that the instant may be soon—
W1:197.7  come, for everyone must live and breathe in Him. His Being in His  Father is secure because Their will is one. Their gratitude to all
W1:198.3  It is a dream in which the Son of God awakens to his Self and to his  Father, knowing They are one.
W1:198.7  all are one—a place where death is offered to God's Son and to his  Father. You may think They have accepted, but if you will look again
W1:198.12  dream. This is the gift the Holy Spirit holds for you from God your  Father. Let today be celebrated both on earth and in your holy home
W1:198.14  is, that to behold the Son is to perceive no more and only know the  Father? In this vision of the Son, so brief that not an instant
W1:200.9  desert His Son in need, nor let him stray forever from his home. The  Father calls; the Son will hear. And that is all there is to what
W1:200.1  my brother. I am blessed with oneness with the universe and God, my  Father, One Creator of the whole that is my Self, forever one with
W1:219.1  upon this. And then return to earth without confusion as to what my  Father loves forever as His Son. I am not a body. I am free. For I am
W2:I.2  merely a beginning. For we wait in quiet expectation for our God and  Father. He has promised He will take the final step Himself. And we
W2:I.3  have given God. We say some simple words of welcome and expect our  Father to reveal Himself as He has promised. We have called on Him,
W2:I.5  For now we cannot fail. Sit silently and wait upon your  Father. He has willed to come to you when you have recognized it is
W2:I.6 I am so close to you we cannot fail.  Father, we give these holy times to You in gratitude to Him Who
W2:I.7  which are Your will to keep. We will with You in asking this. The  Father and the Son, Whose holy will created all that is, can fail in
W2:221.1  Father, I come to You today to seek the peace that You alone can
W2:221.1  the deep recesses of my mind, I wait and listen for Your Voice. My  Father, speak to me today. I come to hear Your Voice in silence and
W2:222.2  Father, we have no words except Your Name upon our lips and in our
W2:223.2 Our  Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we

W2:224.2 My Name, oh  Father, still is known to You. I have forgotten it and do not know
W2:224.2  not know where I am going, who I am, or what it is I do. Remind me,  Father, now, for I am weary of the world I see. Reveal what You would
W2:225.1  Father, I must return Your love for me. For giving and receiving are
W2:226.2  Father, my home awaits my glad return. Your arms are open, and I hear
W2:227.1  Father, it is today that I am free because my will is Yours. I
W2:227.1  be removed forever from my mind. This is my holy instant of release.  Father, I know my will is one with Yours.
W2:228.1 My  Father knows my holiness. Shall I deny His knowledge and believe in
W2:228.2  Father, I was mistaken in myself because I failed to realize the
W2:229.1  attests the truth of the Identity I sought to lose, but which my  Father has kept safe for me.
W2:229.2  Father, my thanks to You for what I am; for keeping my Identity
W2:230.1  remain. It is not given me to change my Self. How merciful is God my  Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever. Now I ask
W2:230.2  Father, I seek the peace You gave as mine in my creation. What was
W2:WS.5  almost over, and God's Son has but an instant more to wait until his  Father is remembered, dreams are done, eternity has shined away the
W2:231.1 What can I seek for,  Father, but Your Love? Perhaps I think I seek for something else—a
W2:231.2  And you share this will with me, and with the One as well Who is our  Father. To remember Him is Heaven. This we seek. And only this is
W2:232.1 Be in my mind, my  Father, when I wake and shine on me throughout the day today. Let
W2:232.2  be. Today practice the end of fear. Have faith in Him Who is your  Father. Trust all things to Him. Let Him reveal all things to you,
W2:233.1  Father, I give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine.
W2:234.1  as one. Nothing has ever happened to disturb the peace of God the  Father and the Son. This we accept as wholly true today.
W2:234.2 We thank You,  Father, that we cannot lose the memory of You and of Your Love. We
W2:235.2  Father, Your holiness is mine. Your Love created me and made my
W2:236.2  Father, my mind is open to Your thoughts and closed today to every
W2:237.1  I bring the world the tidings of salvation that I hear as God my  Father speaks to me. And I behold the world that Christ would have me
W2:237.2  eyes today, and His the ears which listen to the Voice of God today.  Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your Son and my true Self as
W2:238.1  Father, Your trust in me has been so great I must be worthy. You
W2:238.2 And so again today we pause to think how much our  Father loves us. And how dear His Son, created by His Love, remains
W2:239.1  by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for the gifts our  Father gave us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any
W2:239.2 We thank You,  Father, for the light that shines forever in us. And we honor it
W2:241.2  have forgiven one another now, and so we come at last to You again.  Father, Your Son, who never left, returns to Heaven and his home. How
W2:243.2  Father, today I leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its
W2:245.1 Your peace surrounds me,  Father. Where I go, Your peace goes there with me. It sheds its light
W2:245.1  or think they are bereft of hope and happiness. Send them to me, my  Father. Let me bring Your peace with me. For I would save Your Son as
W2:246.1  Let me not try to hurt God's Son and think that I can know his  Father or my Self. Let me not fail to recognize myself and still
W2:246.1  recognize myself and still believe that my awareness can contain my  Father, or my mind conceive of all the love my Father has for me and
W2:246.1  can contain my Father, or my mind conceive of all the love my  Father has for me and all the love which I return to Him.
W2:246.2 I will accept the way You choose for me to come to You, my  Father. For in that will I succeed because it is Your Will. And I
W2:248.2  Father, my ancient love for You returns and lets me love Your Son
W2:248.2  love for You returns and lets me love Your Son again as well.  Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your Love remembered and my
W2:249.2  Father, we would return our minds to You. We have betrayed them, held
W2:250.2 He is Your Son, my  Father. And today I would behold his gentleness instead of my
W2:WIS.4  with but a little life that ends in death. But all the while his  Father shines on him and loves him with an everlasting Love which his
W2:251.2 And for that peace, our  Father, we give thanks. What we denied ourselves You have restored,
W2:252.2  Father, You know my true Identity. Reveal it now to me who am Your
W2:254.1  Father, today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence, I
W2:255.1  in the peace of Heaven. In his name I give today to finding what my  Father wills for me, accepting it as mine and giving it to all my
W2:255.2 And so, my  Father, would I pass this day with You. Your Son has not forgotten
W2:256.2 And so, our  Father, would we come to You in Your appointed way. We have no goal
W2:257.2  Father, forgiveness is Your chosen means for our salvation. Let us
W2:259.2  Father, I would not be insane today. I would not be afraid of love
W2:260.1  Father, I did not make myself, although in my insanity I thought I
W2:260.1  not left my Source, remaining part of What created me. Your Son, my  Father, calls on You today. Let me remember You created me. Let me
W2:261.2 Let me not seek for idols. I would come, my  Father, home to You today. I choose to be as You created me and find
W2:262.1  Father, You have one Son. And it is he that I would look upon today.
W2:262.1  Name, for You created him. Let me not see him as a stranger to his  Father, nor as stranger to myself. For he is part of me and I of him,
W2:263.1  Father, Your Mind created all that is; Your Spirit entered into it;
W2:264.1  Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see
W2:264.1  creation or without the Love Which holds all things within Itself.  Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your own Name
W2:266.1  Father, You gave me all Your Sons to be my saviors and my counselors
W2:267.2 Let me attend Your Answer, not my own.  Father, my heart is beating in the peace the Heart of Love created.
W2:270.1  Father, Christ's vision is Your gift to me, and it has power to
W2:270.1  can give. The world forgiven signifies Your Son acknowledges his  Father, lets his dreams be brought to truth, and waits expectantly
W2:WIC.2  by anything the body's eyes perceive. For though in Him His  Father placed the means for your salvation, yet does He remain the
W2:WIC.2  means for your salvation, yet does He remain the Self Who, like His  Father, knows no sin.
W2:271.1  death. For nothing that He looks on but must live, remembering the  Father and the Son; Creator and creation unified.
W2:271.2  Father, Christ's vision is the way to You. What He beholds invites
W2:272.1  Father, the truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your
W2:273.2  Father, Your peace is mine. What need have I to fear that anything
W2:274.1  Father, today I would let all things be as You created them and give
W2:274.2 A special blessing comes to us today from Him Who is our  Father. Give this day to Him and there will be no fear today because
W2:275.2  what words to give the world. The safety that I bring is given me.  Father, Your Voice protects all things through me.
W2:276.1  “My Son is pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did God become the  Father of the Son He loves, for thus was he created. This the Word
W2:276.1  Love, and we deny our Self, to be unsure of who we are, of who our  Father is, and for what purpose we have come. And yet we need but to
W2:276.2  Father, Your Word is mine. And it is this that I would speak to all
W2:277.1 Your Son is free, my  Father. Let me not imagine I have bound him with the laws I made to
W2:278.1  in which all things that seem to live appear to die, then is my  Father prisoner with me. And this do I believe when I maintain the
W2:278.1  and cannot be escaped. If I am bound in any way, I do not know my  Father or my Self. And I am lost to all reality. For truth is free,
W2:278.2  Father, I ask for nothing but the truth. I have had many foolish
W2:279.2 I will accept Your promises today and give my faith to them. My  Father loves the Son Whom He created as His own. Would You withhold
W2:280.1  God but is forever pure. Can I lay limits on the Son of God, whose  Father willed that he be limitless and like Himself in freedom and in
W2:280.2  let me give honor to Your Son, for thus alone I find the way to You.  Father, I lay no limits on the Son You love and You created
W2:WIHS.3 If you but knew how much your  Father yearns to have you recognize your sinlessness, you would not
W2:281.1  Father, Your Son is perfect. When he thinks that he is hurt in any
W2:281.2 I will not hurt myself today. For I am far beyond all pain. My  Father placed me safe in Heaven, watching over me. And I would not
W2:282.1  decision not to be insane and to accept myself as God Himself, my  Father and my Source, created me. This the determination not to be
W2:282.2  Father, Your Name is Love, and so is mine. Such is the truth. And can
W2:283.1  Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this I call the Son of
W2:283.1  Your creation is unchangeable. Let me not worship idols. I am He my  Father loves. His holiness remains the light of Heaven and the Love
W2:283.2 Now are we one in shared Identity, with God our  Father as our only Source and everything created part of us. And so
W2:284.2  Father, what You have given cannot hurt, and grief and pain must be
W2:285.2  Father, my holiness is Yours. Let me rejoice in it and through
W2:286.1  Father, how still today! How quietly do all things fall in place!
W2:287.2 You are my goal, my  Father. What but You could I desire to have? What way but that which
W2:289.2  Father, let me not look upon a past that is not there. For You have
W2:290.2  today while I but seek to do Your Will. You cannot fail to hear me,  Father. What I ask have You already given me, and I am sure that I
W2:291.2  myself. I do not know the way to You. But You are wholly certain.  Father, lead Your Son along the quiet path that ends in You. Let my
W2:292.2 We thank You,  Father, for Your guarantee of only happy outcomes in the end. Help us
W2:293.2  Father, let not Your holy world escape my sight today. Nor let my
W2:294.2 My body,  Father, cannot be Your Son. And what is not created cannot be sinful
W2:295.2 My  Father, Christ has asked a gift of me, and one I give that it be
W2:297.2  Father, how certain are Your ways, how sure their final outcome, and
W2:298.2  Father, I come to You today, because I would not follow any way but
W2:298.2  and escape from everything that would obscure my love for God, my  Father, and His holy Son.
W2:299.1  is far beyond my own ability to understand or know. Yet God my  Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our will
W2:299.2  Father, my holiness is not of me. It is not mine to be destroyed by
W2:WISC.4  which all Sons of God acknowledge that they all are one. And God the  Father smiles upon His Son, His one creation and His only joy.
W2:301.1  Father, unless I judge I cannot weep. Nor can I suffer pain or feel I
W2:301.1  all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone.  Father, I will not judge Your world today.
W2:302.1  Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as
W2:303.2 Your Son is welcome,  Father. He has come to save me from the evil self I made. He is the
W2:304.2  and thus receive salvation for the world. It is Your gift, my  Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son that he may find again the
W2:305.2  Father, the peace of Christ is given us because it is Your will that
W2:306.2 And so, our  Father, we return to You, remembering we never went away, remembering
W2:307.1  Father, Your will is mine, and only that. There is no other will for
W2:308.2 Thanks for this instant,  Father. It is now I am redeemed. This instant is the time You have
W2:309.2 The step I take today, my  Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of sin. Your altar stands

W2:311.2  Father, we wait with open mind today to hear Your Judgment of the Son
W2:312.2  upon a liberated world, set free from all the judgments I have made.  Father, this is Your will for me today, and therefore it must be my
W2:313.1  Father, there is a vision which beholds all things as sinless, so
W2:314.2  Father, we were mistaken in the past and choose to use the present to

W2:317.2  Father, Your way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me, do I
W2:318.2 Let me today, my  Father, take the role You offer me in Your request that I accept
W2:319.2  Father, Your Will is total. And the goal that stems from it shares
W2:320.1  no limits on his strength, his peace, his joy, or any attributes his  Father gave in his creation. What he wills with his Creator and
W2:320.1  Redeemer must be done. His holy will can never be denied because his  Father shines upon his mind and lays before it all the strength and

W2:329.1  Father, I thought I wandered from Your Will, defied it, broke its

W2:330.2  Father, Your Son cannot be hurt. And if we think we suffer, we but
W2:331.1 How foolish,  Father, to believe Your Son could cause himself to suffer! Could he

W2:332.2  prisoner. And yet Your Love has given us the means to set it free.  Father, we would release it now. For as we offer freedom, it is given
W2:333.2  Father, forgiveness is the light You chose to shine away all conflict
W2:334.1 I will not wait another day to find the treasures which my  Father offers me. Illusions must be vain and dreams are gone, even
W2:336.2  wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. Then let me,  Father, look within and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept;

W2:338.2 Your plan is sure, my  Father—only Yours. All other plans will fail. And I will have
W2:339.2  Father, this is Your day. It is a day in which I would do nothing by
W2:340.1  Father, I thank You for today and for the freedom I am certain it

W2:340.2  Be glad! There is no room for anything but joy and thanks today. Our  Father has redeemed His Son this day! Not one of us but will be saved
W2:340.2  will be saved today. Not one who will remain in fear, and none the  Father will not gather to Himself, awake in Heaven in the Heart of
W2:341.1  Father, Your Son is holy. I am he on whom You smile in love and
W2:342.1 I thank You,  Father, for Your plan to save me from the hell I made. It is not
W2:344.1 This is Your law, my  Father, not my own. I have not understood what giving means and
W2:345.1  Father, a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your Son. And every one
W2:345.1  in just the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive.  Father, in Heaven it is different, for there, there are no needs. But
W2:346.1  Father, I wake today with miracles correcting my perception of all
W2:347.1  Father, I want what goes against my will and do not want what is my
W2:347.1  will and do not want what is my will to have. Straighten my mind, my  Father. It is sick. But You have offered freedom, and I choose to

W2:352.1  I have within me both the memory of You and One Who leads me to it.  Father, I would hear Your Voice and find Your peace today. For I
W2:353.1  Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ to use in any way
W2:354.1  the Christ in me. I have no purpose but His own. And He is like His  Father. Thus must I be one with You as well as Him. For who is Christ
W2:355.1 Why should I wait, my  Father, for the joy You promised me? For You will keep Your Word You
W2:355.1  along with You. Your Son would be Himself and know You as his  Father and Creator and his Love.
W2:356.1  Father, You promised You would never fail to answer any call Your Son

Tx:5.46  which I have repeatedly asked you to do, is always a way out of  fear. This does not mean that you can safely fail to acknowledge
Tx:5.59  ego has a purpose, just as the Holy Spirit has. The ego's purpose is  fear because only the fearful can be egotistic. The ego's logic is as
Tx:5.60  it is whole. Guilt is always disruptive. Anything that engenders  fear is divisive because it obeys the law of division. If the ego is

Tx:6.4  positive interpretation of the crucifixion which is wholly devoid of  fear and therefore wholly benign in what it teaches if it is properly
Tx:6.5  that the Sonship need take and that it should mean release from  fear to anyone who understands it. While we emphasized only the
Tx:6.5  to make to your own lives, and if you will consider it without  fear, it will help you understand your own role as teachers.
Tx:6.6  Projection means anger, anger fosters assault, and assault promotes  fear. The real meaning of the crucifixion lies in the apparent

Tx:6.24 You cannot love what you do not appreciate, and  fear makes appreciation impossible. Whenever you are afraid of what
Tx:6.48  you will be afraid, because you are siding with an alliance of  fear.
Tx:6.65  communicating is sharing, it becomes communion. You might argue that  fear as well as love can be communicated and therefore can be shared.

Tx:6.70 All the separated ones have a basic  fear of retaliation and abandonment. This is because they believe in

Tx:7.104  to follow false guidance. Unable to follow this guidance without  fear, he associates fear with guidance and refuses to follow any

Tx:8.40 Ours is simply the journey back to God, Who is our home. Whenever  fear intrudes anywhere along the road to peace, it is always because
Tx:8.82  forms of sickness, even unto death, are physical expressions of the  fear of awakening. They are attempts to reinforce unconsciousness out
Tx:8.82  of awakening. They are attempts to reinforce unconsciousness out of  fear of consciousness. This is a pathetic way of trying not to know
Tx:8.84 Healing is release from the  fear of waking and the substitution of the will to wake. The will to
Tx:8.84  to wake is the will to love, since all healing involves replacing  fear with love. The Holy Spirit cannot distinguish among degrees of
Tx:8.86  followers and also its translators to be entirely literal about  fear and its effects but not about love and its results. Thus,
Tx:8.90  Fear of the Will of God is one of the strangest beliefs that the
Tx:8.90  ego's, and that is why the ego is against you. What seems to be the  fear of God is really only the fear of your own reality.

Tx:8.92 The association of truth and  fear, which would be highly artificial at most, is particularly

Tx:8.109  given by the Holy Spirit will ever be one which would increase  fear. It is possible that His answer will not be heard at all. It is
Tx:9.13  which are eternal. Forgiveness that is learned of me does not use  fear to undo fear. Nor does it make real the unreal and then destroy

Tx:9.17  literally lives on borrowed time, and its days are numbered. Do not  fear the Last Judgment, but welcome it and do not wait, for the ego's
Tx:9.22  condemnation onto God, they make Him appear retaliative and  fear His retribution. What they have done is merely to identify with

Tx:9.83  is not due to illusions, for to honor them is to honor nothing. Yet  fear is not due them either, for nothing cannot be fearful. You have
Tx:9.83  due them either, for nothing cannot be fearful. You have chosen to  fear love because of its perfect harmlessness, and because of this
Tx:9.83  fear love because of its perfect harmlessness, and because of this  fear, you have been willing to give up your own perfect helpfulness

Tx:10.14  whole sickness and your whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and  fear arises here because this is the belief that makes you want not

Tx:10.41 Do not be afraid, then, to look upon  fear, for it cannot be seen. Clarity undoes confusion by definition,
Tx:10.43  but delusions. We can surely regard a delusional system without  fear, for it cannot have any effects if its source is not true. Fear
Tx:10.43  fear, for it cannot have any effects if its source is not true.  Fear becomes more obviously inappropriate if one recognizes the ego's
Tx:10.47  realize is that you are afraid of it. For if the ego gives rise to  fear, it is diminishing your independence and weakening your power.
Tx:10.48  uninvolved, and even desperate, but not really afraid. Minimizing  fear but not its undoing is the ego's constant effort and is indeed
Tx:10.48  ingenious. How can it preach separation without upholding it through  fear, and would you listen to it if you recognized this is what it is
Tx:10.49 Your recognition that whatever seems to separate you from God is only  fear, regardless of the form it takes and quite apart from how the
Tx:10.49  a false idea of independence, you will not accept the cost of  fear if you recognize it. Yet this is the cost, and the ego cannot
Tx:10.49  For if you overlook love, you are overlooking yourself, and you must  fear unreality because you have denied yourself. By believing that
Tx:10.50  could be defeated, and this is impossible. Only by learning what  fear is, can you finally learn to distinguish the possible from the
Tx:10.51  which you have pursued quite diligently, has [only] brought you  fear, and it becomes difficult to maintain that fear is happiness.
Tx:10.51  [only] brought you fear, and it becomes difficult to maintain that  fear is happiness.
Tx:10.52 Upheld by  fear, this is what the ego would have you believe. Yet God's Son is
Tx:10.52  it, and he will not accept it. For only the insane would choose  fear in place of love, and only the insane could believe that love
Tx:10.52  gained by attack. But the sane know that only attack could produce  fear from which the love of God completely protects them.
Tx:10.80  the one is many. Realize that you are afraid of His specificity for  fear of what you think it will demand of you. Yet only by asking will
Tx:10.83 Blessed are you who will ask the truth of God without  fear, for only thus can you learn that His answer is the release from
Tx:10.83  for only thus can you learn that His answer is the release from  fear. Beautiful Child of God, you are asking only for what I promised
Tx:10.88  willing to let their interpretations go in favor of reality, their  fear goes with them. When a child is helped to translate his “ghost”
Tx:10.88  into a dream, he is no longer afraid and laughs happily at his own  fear. You, my children, are afraid of your brothers and of your
Tx:10.89  you too will laugh at your fears and replace them with peace. For  fear lies not in reality, but in the minds of children who do not
Tx:11.9  that His criteria are equally applicable to you. For to recognize  fear is not enough to escape from it, although the recognition is
Tx:11.9  Spirit must still translate it into truth. If you were left with the  fear, having recognized it, you would have taken a step away from
Tx:11.9  towards it. Yet we have repeatedly emphasized the need to recognize  fear and face it without disguise as a crucial step in the undoing of

Tx:11.13  the appeal for it by giving it? The Holy Spirit's interpretation of  fear does dispel it, for the awareness of truth cannot be denied.
Tx:11.13  of truth cannot be denied. Thus does the Holy Spirit replace  fear with love and translate error into truth. And thus will you
Tx:11.21 There is no  fear in perfect love. We will but be making perfect to you what is

Tx:15.96  is attack, not love. If you would accept but this one idea, your  fear of love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the idea of

Tx:15.98  and fear. And that guilt is the price of love, which must be paid by  fear. How fearful, then, has God become to you, and how great a

Tx:16.40 Would you not go through  fear to love? For such the journey seems to be. Love calls, but hate
Tx:16.40  For love is wholly without illusion and therefore wholly without  fear. Whom God remembers must be whole. And God has never forgotten
Tx:16.50  it offered him to interfere with Heaven. Yet if all illusions are of  fear, and they can be of nothing else, the illusion of Heaven is
Tx:16.50  the illusion of Heaven is nothing more than an “attractive” form of  fear in which the guilt is buried deep and rises in the form of
Tx:16.64  in which a sense of actual disorientation seems to occur. But  fear it not, for it means nothing more than that you have been
Tx:16.65  Fear not that you will be abruptly lifted up and hurled into reality.

Tx:18.3  involves substitution by definition, for it is love's replacement.  Fear is both a fragmented and a fragmenting emotion. It seems to take

Tx:18.4 You who believe that God is  fear made but one substitution. It has taken many forms because it

Tx:18.17  seems to be. And yet the dream cannot escape its origin. Anger and  fear pervade it, and in an instant, the illusion of satisfaction is
Tx:18.20  the first change, before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of  fear are changed to happy dreams. That is what the Holy Spirit does
Tx:18.25  from the truth, sometimes retreating to the lesser forms of  fear and sometimes to stark terror. But you will advance because your
Tx:18.25  terror. But you will advance because your goal is the advance from  fear to truth. You know this. The goal which you accepted is the goal
Tx:18.25  is the goal of knowledge, for which you signified your willingness.  Fear seems to live in darkness, and when you are afraid, you have
Tx:18.26 If you knew Who walks beside you on this way which you have chosen,  fear would be impossible. You do not know because the journey into
Tx:18.26  which you have surrounded it. When you retreat to the illusion, your  fear increases, for there is little doubt that what you think it

Tx:18.30  in our desire to make whole. Let not time worry you, for all the  fear that you experience is really past. Time has been readjusted to
Tx:18.30  together what your separate pasts would hinder. You have gone past  fear, for no two minds can join in the desire for love without love's

Tx:18.42 Never approach the holy instant after you have tried to remove all  fear and hatred from your mind. That is its function. Never attempt
Tx:18.42  part is only to offer Him a little willingness to let Him remove all  fear and hatred and to be forgiven. On your little faith, joined with
Tx:18.45  He can spread joy to thousands on thousands who believe that love is  fear, not happiness. Let Him fulfill the function that He gave to
Tx:18.46  instantly and offer the Holy Spirit your willingness in spite of  fear to let Him exchange this instant for the holy one which you
Tx:18.46  the fact that it is now impossible for either of you to experience  fear alone or to attempt to deal with it alone. Never believe that
Tx:18.59  you have given up the illusion of a limited awareness and lost your  fear of union. The love that instantly replaces it extends to what
Tx:18.59  of your Identity and would not limit it. You have escaped from  fear to peace, asking no questions of reality but merely accepting
Tx:18.87  You are severely tempted to abandon Him at the outside ring of  fear, but He would lead you safely through and far beyond.
Tx:18.88 The circle of  fear lies just below the level the body sees and seems to be the
Tx:19.11 Faith is the opposite of  fear, as much a part of love as fear is of attack. Faith is the
Tx:19.11 Faith is the opposite of fear, as much a part of love as  fear is of attack. Faith is the acknowledgment of union. It is the
Tx:19.25  in sin, not error. Sin will be repeated because of this attraction.  Fear can become so acute that the sin is denied the acting out, but
Tx:19.25  an avenger with a mind unlike your own could stamp it out through  fear.
Tx:19.26 The ego does not think it possible that love, not  fear, is really called upon by sin and always answers. For the ego
Tx:19.26  called upon by sin and always answers. For the ego brings sin to  fear, demanding punishment. Yet punishment is but another form of
Tx:19.30  change perception is thus kept impotent, held to the body by the  fear of changed perception which its teacher, who is one with it,
Tx:19.43  have you become. Peace could no more depart from you than from God.  Fear not this little obstacle. It cannot contain the Will of God.
Tx:19.49 The attraction of guilt produces  fear of love, for love would never look on guilt at all. It is the
Tx:19.49  it would unite in holy union and completion. As love must look past  fear, so must fear see love not. For love contains the end of guilt
Tx:19.49  in holy union and completion. As love must look past fear, so must  fear see love not. For love contains the end of guilt as surely as
Tx:19.49  fear see love not. For love contains the end of guilt as surely as  fear depends on it. [Love is attracted only to love.] Overlooking
Tx:19.49  is attracted only to love.] Overlooking guilt completely, it sees no  fear. Being wholly without attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is
Tx:19.49  sees no fear. Being wholly without attack, it could not be afraid.  Fear is attracted to what love sees not, and each believes that what
Tx:19.49  and each believes that what the other looks upon does not exist.  Fear looks on guilt with just the same devotion that love looks on
Tx:19.50  and return with messages of love and gentleness. The messengers of  fear are harshly ordered to seek out guilt and cherish every scrap of
Tx:19.50  asking for messages of different things in different languages. What  fear would feed upon, love overlooks. What fear demands, love cannot
Tx:19.50  different languages. What fear would feed upon, love overlooks. What  fear demands, love cannot even see.
Tx:19.51 The fierce attraction which guilt holds for  fear is wholly absent from love's gentle perception. What love would
Tx:19.51  gentle perception. What love would look upon is meaningless to  fear and quite invisible. Relationships in this world are the result
Tx:19.51  and they tremble when their master calls upon them to serve him. For  fear is merciless even to its friends. Its messengers steal guiltily
Tx:19.52  their savage pangs of hunger. For they are frantic with the pain of  fear and would avert the punishment of him who sends them forth by
Tx:19.53  you love's messengers to send instead of those you trained through  fear. They are as eager to return to you what they hold dear as are
Tx:19.54  Holy Spirit gives you, wanting no messages but theirs, you will see  fear no more. The world will be transformed before your sight,
Tx:19.54  of all guilt and softly brushed with beauty. The world contains no  fear which you laid not upon it. And none you cannot ask love's
Tx:19.54  what love sees. They have been given to replace the hungry dogs of  fear you sent instead. And they go forth to signify the end of fear.
Tx:19.54  of fear you sent instead. And they go forth to signify the end of  fear.
Tx:19.61  of Atonement as murder. Here is the source of the idea that love is  fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far beyond the body,
Tx:19.62 It is only the messengers of  fear that see the body, for they look for what can suffer. Is it a
Tx:19.62  pleasure; it has no hope of pleasure. But neither can it bring you  fear of pain. Pain is the only “sacrifice” the Holy Spirit asks, and
Tx:19.63  will and its accomplishment? You want communion, not the feast of  fear. You want salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you want your
Tx:19.71  with the body, which is the invitation to pain. For it invites  fear to enter and become your purpose. The attraction of guilt must
Tx:19.71  purpose. The attraction of guilt must enter with it, and whatever  fear directs the body to do is therefore painful. It will share the
Tx:19.77  across. No one can die unless he chooses death. What seems to be the  fear of death is really its attraction. Guilt, too, is feared and
Tx:19.84 Those who  fear death see not how often and how loudly they call to it and bid
Tx:19.86 The  fear of death will go as its appeal is yielded to love's real
Tx:19.87  can assail the wholly innocent? What can attack the guiltless? What  fear can enter and disturb the peace of sinlessness? What has been
Tx:19.88 When anything seems to you to be a source of  fear, when any situation strikes you with terror and makes your body
Tx:19.88  you with terror and makes your body tremble and the cold sweat of  fear comes over it, remember it is always for one reason—the ego
Tx:19.88  is always for one reason—the ego has perceived it as a symbol of  fear, a sign of sin and death. Remember then that neither sign nor
Tx:19.90 What would you see without the  fear of death? What would you feel and think if death held no
Tx:19.91  as streams of blood, fades in the blazing light beyond it when the  fear of death is gone.
Tx:19.92  God seems quite forgotten; the cleavage of your Self from you—the  fear of God, the final step in your dissociation.
Tx:19.93  in death would seem to “save” you. For if this is gone, what can you  fear but life? It is the attraction of death that makes life seem to
Tx:19.93  in your secret alliance with them, you have agreed never to let the  fear of God be lifted so you could look upon the face of Christ and
Tx:19.94  that peace must flow across is surmounted in just the same way; the  fear that raised it yields to the love beneath, and so the fear is
Tx:19.94  way; the fear that raised it yields to the love beneath, and so the  fear is gone. And so it is with this. The desire to get rid of peace
Tx:19.94  by the power of the attraction of what lies beyond. Your wanting  fear seemed to be holding them in place. Yet when you heard the voice
Tx:19.95  delicate appeal of guilt, the “holy” waxen image of death, and the  fear of vengeance of the ego you swore in blood not to desert, all
Tx:19.96  this. No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget again, no stab of  fear, nor the cold sweat of seeming death can stand against your
Tx:19.97  you raise your eyes, you will be ready to look on terror with no  fear at all. But first lift up your eyes and look upon each other in
Tx:19.98 No one can look upon the  fear of God unterrified unless he has accepted the Atonement and
Tx:19.100 To look upon the  fear of God does need some preparation. Only the sane can look on
Tx:19.100  insanity and raving madness with pity and compassion but not with  fear. For only if they share in it does it seem fearful, and you do
Tx:19.100  you still stand unforgiving. You are afraid of God because you  fear each other. Those you do not forgive you fear. And no one
Tx:19.100  of God because you fear each other. Those you do not forgive you  fear. And no one reaches love with fear beside him.
Tx:19.100  Those you do not forgive you fear. And no one reaches love with  fear beside him.
Tx:19.101  it. And all the pity and forgiveness that would heal it gives way to  fear. Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you will
Tx:20.2  not the crown of thorns; the gift of love and not the “gift” of  fear. You stand beside each other, thorns in one hand and lilies in
Tx:20.11  you to see no thorns, no strangers, and no obstacles to peace. The  fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look upon
Tx:20.12  and freed from all the terror that kept it hidden. There is no  fear in love. The song of Easter is the glad refrain the Son of God
Tx:20.12  of God was never crucified. Let us lift up our eyes together, not in  fear, but faith. And there will be no fear in us, for in our vision
Tx:20.12  up our eyes together, not in fear, but faith. And there will be no  fear in us, for in our vision will be no illusions—only a pathway
Tx:20.13  looks upon the lilies and brings you joy. We go beyond the veil of  fear, lighting each other's way. The holiness that leads us is within
Tx:20.14  untouched by guilt and perfectly protected from the cold chill of  fear and withering blight of sin alike. Your gift has saved him from
Tx:20.15  the hands that gave it to each other shall both of you be led past  fear to love.
Tx:20.19  how you see yourself. A murderer is frightened, and those who kill  fear death. All these are but the fearful thoughts of those who would
Tx:20.26  is Heaven but union, direct and perfect, and without the veil of  fear upon it? Here are we one, looking with perfect gentleness upon
Tx:20.27  then, this faith with me and know that it is justified. There is no  fear in perfect love because it knows no sin and it must look on
Tx:20.27  on others as on itself. Looking with charity within, what can it  fear without? The innocent see safety, and the pure in heart see God
Tx:20.27  promise of your immortality. See him as sinless, and there can be no  fear in you.
Tx:20.33  which sin can enter not, and where the Son of God can enter without  fear, and where he rests a while to forget imprisonment and to
Tx:20.38 Each herald of eternity sings of the end of sin and  fear. Each speaks in time of what is far beyond it. Two voices raised
Tx:20.39  is inestimable clearly cannot be evaluated. Do you recognize the  fear that rises from the meaningless attempt to judge what lies so
Tx:20.45  made is partial, self-centered, broken into fragments, and full of  fear. The one created by his Father is wholly self-encompassing and
Tx:20.50  here kept “safe” from Him. But what you do not realize is what you  fear within your brother and would not see in him is what makes God
Tx:20.51  and overlook the body, as it will surely do, and they retreat in  fear, feeling the seeming firm foundation of their temple begin to
Tx:20.51  to shake and loosen. Brothers, you tremble with them. Yet what you  fear is but the herald of escape. This place of darkness is not your
Tx:20.57  like unto each other. Idolatry is past and meaningless. Perhaps you  fear each other a little yet; perhaps a shadow of the fear of God
Tx:20.57  Perhaps you fear each other a little yet; perhaps a shadow of the  fear of God remains with you. Yet what is that to those who have been
Tx:20.66  And as you ask, forget not that his sinlessness is your escape from  fear. Salvation is the Holy Spirit's goal. The means is vision. For
Tx:21.35  and whom you try to limit to the body you hate because you  fear. In your refusal to forgive him, you would condemn him to the
Tx:21.35  holiness would set your brother free, removing hatred by removing  fear, not as a symptom, but at its source.
Tx:21.36 Those who would free their brothers from the body can have no  fear. They have renounced the means for sin by choosing to let all
Tx:21.41  the sin you think is there. This you would not be fearful to admit.  Fear in association with sin the ego deems quite appropriate and
Tx:21.41  the ego deems quite appropriate and smiles approvingly. It has no  fear to let you feel ashamed. It doubts not your belief and faith in
Tx:21.41  that it be there to see. This merely seems to be the source of  fear.
Tx:21.42  believe, and so you do not look. Yet this is not the ego's hidden  fear, nor yours who serve it. Loudly indeed the ego claims it is—
Tx:21.42  frantic proclamation, the ego is not certain it is so. Beneath your  fear to look within because of sin is yet another fear and one which
Tx:21.42  so. Beneath your fear to look within because of sin is yet another  fear and one which makes the ego tremble.
Tx:21.66  are joined is your salvation—the gift of Heaven, not the gift of  fear. Does Heaven seem to be a burden to you? In madness, yes. And
Tx:22.5  uneasiness, your sense of being disconnected, and your haunting  fear of lack of meaning in yourself arise? It is as though you
Tx:22.8  that need be hidden as a sin. But a mistake indeed! Let not your  fear of sin protect it from correction, for the attraction of guilt
Tx:22.8  sin protect it from correction, for the attraction of guilt is only  fear. Here is the one emotion that you made, whatever it may seem to
Tx:22.14  that calls on truth, for to deny illusions is to recognize that  fear is meaningless. Into the holy home, where fear is powerless,
Tx:22.14  is to recognize that fear is meaningless. Into the holy home, where  fear is powerless, love enters thankfully, grateful that it is one
Tx:22.18  sure indeed that any seeming happiness that does not last is really  fear. Joy does not turn to sorrow, for the eternal cannot change. But
Tx:22.25  but look on it with the decision that it must be healed and not with  fear. Nothing you made has any power over you unless you still would
Tx:22.46  you from the truth? And what would you be saved from but what you  fear? Belief in sin needs great defense and at enormous cost. All
Tx:22.48 How weak is  fear—how little and how meaningless! How insignificant before the
Tx:22.55  you bring shines now on you. The means of sinlessness can know no  fear because they carry only love with them.
Tx:22.60  about, for here lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to keep the  fear of God in place, unmovable and solid as a rock. While this
Tx:22.61  are separate. And you must think that they are separate because of  fear. For it seems safer to attack another or yourself than to attack
Tx:22.64  him. What can this mean except your minds are one? Look not with  fear upon this happy fact and think not that it lays a heavy burden
Tx:22.65  And in Him is all creation joined. Would you regret you cannot  fear alone when your relationship can also teach the power of love is
Tx:22.65  can also teach the power of love is there, which makes all  fear impossible? Do not attempt to keep a little of the ego with this
Tx:23.1  is strength, and nothing else is strong. The sinless cannot  fear, for sin of any kind is weakness. The show of strength attack
Tx:23.2  think that you succeeded and attack again. It is as certain you will  fear what you attack as it is sure that you will love what you
Tx:23.2  love shows him. For love walks with him there, protecting him from  fear. And he will see only the sinless, who can not attack.
Tx:23.3 Walk you in glory with your head held high, and  fear no evil. The innocent are safe because they share their
Tx:23.3  harmful now stands shining in their innocence, released from sin and  fear, and happily returned to love. They share the strength of love
Tx:23.8  with this belief, but never will it be more than madness. And  fear will reign in madness and will seem to have replaced love there.
Tx:23.14  with anything but love. Conflict is fearful, for it is the birth of  fear. Yet what is born of nothing cannot win reality through battle.
Tx:23.18  looking on itself, extends itself. War is the condition in which  fear is born and grows and seeks to dominate. Peace is the state
Tx:23.23  not to join. One becomes weak, the other strong by his defeat. And  fear of God and of each other now appears as sensible, made real by
Tx:23.25 See how the  fear of God is reinforced by this third principle. Now it becomes
Tx:23.33  perceived as real. Their goal of madness must be seen as sanity. And  fear, with ashen lips and sightless eyes, blinded and terrible to
Tx:23.33  its substitute, the savior from salvation. How lovely do the laws of  fear make death appear! Give thanks unto the hero on love's throne,
Tx:23.33  thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who saved the Son of God for  fear and death!
Tx:23.38  witnessing or their results. Certain it is illusions will bring  fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not for their form. And
Tx:23.41  what form of murder serves to cover the massive guilt and frantic  fear of punishment the murderer must feel? He may deny he is a
Tx:23.46  in cowering hope because the guns are stilled an instant and the  fear that haunts the place of death is not apparent, that it will not
Tx:23.47 The  fear of God is fear of life and not of death. Yet He remains the only
Tx:23.47 The fear of God is  fear of life and not of death. Yet He remains the only place of
Tx:23.47  the form it takes conceals the same intent. And it is this you  fear and not the form. What is not love is murder. What is not loving
Tx:24.10 The  fear of God and of each other comes from each unrecognized belief in
Tx:24.20 —too far to falter now. Just one step more and every vestige of the  fear of God will melt away in love. Your brother's specialness and
Tx:24.21  not given to His Son but kept for Him alone. And it is this you  fear, for if He is not special, then He willed His Son be like Him,
Tx:24.45  and blessing all the way. His love for God replaces all the  fear you thought you saw within yourself. His holiness shows you
Tx:24.49  in the darkness of the night. He is your savior from the dreams of  fear. He is the healing of your sense of sacrifice and fear that what
Tx:24.49  the dreams of fear. He is the healing of your sense of sacrifice and  fear that what you have will scatter with the wind and turn to dust.
Tx:24.54  that hides the face of Christ from him, and you as well. And let the  fear of God no longer hold the vision you were meant to see from you.
Tx:25.12 Is it not evident that what the body's eyes perceive fills you with  fear? Perhaps you think you find a hope of satisfaction there.
Tx:25.13  world you see? In no respect at any time or place has anything but  fear and guilt been your reward. How long is needed for you to
Tx:25.43  of Him to the beholder. He can see no evil, nothing in the world to  fear, and no one who is different from himself. And as he loves them,
Tx:25.68  vengeance that their own belief in justice must entail. And so they  fear the Holy Spirit and perceive the “wrath” of God in Him. [They
Tx:25.68  is hell and are afraid of love. And deep suspicion and the chill of  fear comes over them when they are told that they have never sinned.
Tx:25.77  what justice must accord the Son of God. Let love decide and never  fear that you in your unfairness will deprive yourself of what God's
Tx:25.79  are willing it be given you. God's justice warrants gratitude, not  fear. Nothing you give is lost to you or anyone, but cherished and
Tx:26.27  face of Christ and not recall His Father as He really is? Who could  fear love and stand upon the ground where sin has left a place for
Tx:26.58  he has sought to find. And he could only be afraid of it. Is  fear a treasure? Can uncertainty be what you want? Or is it a mistake
Tx:26.70  you. In this form is the error still obscured that is the source of  fear. Salvation would wipe out the space you see between you still
Tx:26.70  you still and let you instantly become as one. And it is here you  fear the loss would lie. Do not project this fear to time, for time
Tx:26.70  one. And it is here you fear the loss would lie. Do not project this  fear to time, for time is not the enemy that you perceive. Time is as
Tx:26.71  it be overlooked except within the present. Future loss is not your  fear. But present joining is your dread. Who can feel desolation
Tx:26.71  cause as yet has no effects. And therefore must it be that if you  fear, there is a present cause. And it is this that needs correction,
Tx:26.72  yet no cause. Who can predict effects without a cause? And who could  fear effects unless he thought they had been caused and judged
Tx:26.72  had been caused and judged disastrous now? Belief in sin arouses  fear and, like its cause, is looking forward, looking back but
Tx:26.72  in present grace, within the only interval of time which sin and  fear have overlooked but which is all there is to time. The working
Tx:26.73  They can be looked at now. Why wait till they unfold in time and  fear they may not come, although already there? You have been told
Tx:27.1  unity of what can never join? Walk you the gentle way, and you will  fear no evil and no shadows in the night. But place no terror symbols
Tx:27.6  attack can ever touch him with the poisoned and relentless sting of  fear. Attest his innocence and not his guilt. Your healing is his
Tx:27.10  life, but neither is it dead. It stands apart from all experience of  fear or love. For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose being
Tx:27.33  Yet in the learning interval it has a use which now you  fear, but yet will love.
Tx:27.35  Its own. There is no choice of function anywhere. The choice you  fear to lose you never had. Yet only this appears to interfere with
Tx:27.45  you. The only thing that is required for a healing is a lack of  fear. The fearful are not healed and cannot heal. This does not mean
Tx:27.47  the dying bring reproach, and suffering whispers, “What is there to  fear?” Consider well its question. It is asked of you on your behalf.
Tx:27.51  with laws which have been properly perceived but never violated.  Fear you not the way that you perceive them. You are wrong, but there
Tx:27.58  brings the miracle perceived them all as one and called by name of  fear. As fear is witness unto death, so is the miracle the witness
Tx:27.58  the miracle perceived them all as one and called by name of fear. As  fear is witness unto death, so is the miracle the witness unto life.
Tx:27.72  little gap you do not even see, the birthplace of illusions and of  fear, the time of terror and of ancient hate, the instant of
Tx:27.73  waken to reality without the sweat of terror and a scream of mortal  fear unless a gentler dream preceded his awaking and allowed his
Tx:27.73  preceded his awaking and allowed his calmer mind to welcome, not to  fear, the Voice that calls with love to waken him. [A gentler dream,
Tx:27.73  he waken gently and with joy. And gave him means to waken without  fear. Accept the dream He gave instead of yours. It is not difficult
Tx:27.74  dreams to take the place of those you dreamed in terror and in  fear of death. He brings forgiving dreams in which the choice is not
Tx:27.82  cause. And we will see the grounds for laughter, not a cause for  fear. Let us return the dream he gave away unto the dreamer who

Tx:28.13 How instantly the memory of God arises in the mind that has no  fear to keep the memory away. Its own remembering has gone. There is
Tx:28.13  the stillness, yet disturb it not. And what is now remembered is not  fear, but rather is the cause that fear was made to render
Tx:28.13  And what is now remembered is not fear, but rather is the cause that  fear was made to render unremembered and undone. The stillness speaks

Tx:28.15  bridge, and it is He Who will transport His Son across it. Have no  fear that He will fail in what He wills. Nor that you be excluded
Tx:28.22  No one is afraid of them when he perceives he made them up. The  fear was held in place because he did not see that he was author of
Tx:28.22  offered him to show him that his wishes have been done. Thus does he  fear his own attack but sees it at another's hands. As victim, he is
Tx:28.24  the call to wakening be heard, because it seems to be the call to  fear.
Tx:28.26 The miracle returns the cause of  fear to you who made it. But it also shows that, having no effects,
Tx:28.28  the dream. When you accept a miracle, you do not add your dream of  fear to one that is already being dreamed. Without support, the dream
Tx:28.31 The end of dreaming is the end of  fear, and love was never in the world of dreams. The gap is little.
Tx:28.37  of just one thing—that you are evil, for you share in dreams of  fear.
Tx:28.38  mind you would unite, but never with the dream. It is the dream you  fear and not the mind. You see them as the same because you think
Tx:28.40  him, merely by your claim on brotherhood and not on dreams of  fear. Let him acknowledge who he is by not supporting his illusions
Tx:28.40  be released, and you are kept in bondage to his dream. And dreams of  fear will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by illusions which you
Tx:28.47  from good and keeping evil in. God is the alternate to dreams of  fear. Who shares in them can never share in Him. But who withdraws
Tx:28.48  makes them real. Unshared, they are perceived as meaningless. The  fear is gone from them because you did not give them your support.
Tx:28.48  is gone from them because you did not give them your support. Where  fear has gone, there love must come because there are but these
Tx:28.53  of sin that you will see within yourself when you have lost the  fear of recognizing love.
Tx:28.56 The thing you hate and  fear and loathe and want, the body does not know. You send it forth
Tx:28.65  the sense in seeking to be safe in what was made for danger and for  fear? Why burden it with further locks and chains and heavy anchors
Tx:29.2 Here is the  fear of God most plainly seen. For love is treacherous to those who
Tx:29.2  fear of God most plainly seen. For love is treacherous to those who  fear, since fear and hate can never be apart. No one who hates but is
Tx:29.2  most plainly seen. For love is treacherous to those who fear, since  fear and hate can never be apart. No one who hates but is afraid of
Tx:29.3 The  fear of God! The greatest obstacle that peace must flow across has
Tx:29.6  take command of when to “love” and when to shrink more safely into  fear. It will be sick because you do not know what loving means. And
Tx:29.7 It is not love that asks a sacrifice. But  fear demands the sacrifice of love, for in love's presence fear
Tx:29.7  But fear demands the sacrifice of love, for in love's presence  fear cannot abide. For hate to be maintained love must be feared and
Tx:29.8  variable goals you hold and force the body to maintain. You do not  fear its weakness, but its lack of strength or weakness. Would you
Tx:29.8  that the body is not real. And there are overtones of seeming  fear around the happy message, “God is love.”
Tx:29.9  peace eternal. Nothing more than that, and nothing less. Without the  fear of God, what could induce you to abandon Him? What toys or
Tx:29.12  sin and pain. For pain and sin are one illusion, as are hate and  fear, attack and guilt but one. Where they are causeless, their
Tx:29.26  you think you like would hold you back as much as those in which the  fear is seen. For every dream is but a dream of fear, no matter what
Tx:29.26  those in which the fear is seen. For every dream is but a dream of  fear, no matter what the form it seems to take. The fear is seen
Tx:29.26  but a dream of fear, no matter what the form it seems to take. The  fear is seen within, without, or both. Or it can be disguised in
Tx:29.26  in pleasant form. But never is it absent from the dream, for  fear is the material of dreams from which they all are made. Their
Tx:29.26  it allowed you still to be afraid because you did not recognize the  fear. You would not then be willing to awake, for which the miracle
Tx:29.27  or assault must be the theme of every dream, for they are made of  fear. The thin disguise of pleasure and of joy in which they may be
Tx:29.27  in which they may be wrapped but slightly veils the heavy lump of  fear which is their core. And it is this the miracle perceives, and
Tx:29.29  of this. The core of dreams the Holy Spirit gives is never one of  fear. The coverings may not appear to change, but what they mean has
Tx:29.37 Such is the core of  fear in every dream that has been kept apart from use by Him Who sees
Tx:29.42  the world whose purpose is forgiveness of God's Son! How free from  fear, how filled with blessing and with happiness! And what a joyous
Tx:29.46  outside yourself. The search implies you are not whole within and  fear to look upon your devastation and prefer to seek outside
Tx:29.50  minds are altars unto God, and where He is, no idols can abide. The  fear of God is but the fear of loss of idols. It is not the fear of
Tx:29.50  God, and where He is, no idols can abide. The fear of God is but the  fear of loss of idols. It is not the fear of loss of your reality.
Tx:29.50  The fear of God is but the fear of loss of idols. It is not the  fear of loss of your reality. But you have made of your reality an
Tx:29.55  is not a thing to make you tremble and to quail in  fear. Christ's enemy is nowhere. He can take no form in which he ever
Tx:29.69 Whenever you feel  fear in any form—and you are fearful if you do not feel a deep
Tx:29.69  completely all your sense of doom. Your self-betrayal must result in  fear, for fear is judgment, leading surely to the frantic search for
Tx:29.69  all your sense of doom. Your self-betrayal must result in fear, for  fear is judgment, leading surely to the frantic search for idols and
Tx:29.70  the dream. And so they bring the dreamer full release from dreams of  fear. He does not fear his judgment, for he has judged no one, nor
Tx:29.70  they bring the dreamer full release from dreams of fear. He does not  fear his judgment, for he has judged no one, nor has sought to be
Tx:30.1  you from dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams and out of pain and  fear. They are not new to you, but they are more ideas than rules of
Tx:30.5  then another answer cannot but produce confusion and uncertainty and  fear.
Tx:30.6  hear may not resolve the problem as you saw it first. This leads to  fear because it contradicts what you perceive, and so you feel
Tx:30.9  practiced well, will serve to let you be directed without  fear, for opposition will not first arise and then become a problem
Tx:30.14  despite your opposition. For you have already gotten angry, and your  fear of being answered in a different way from what your version of
Tx:30.28  practice in the rules which will protect you from the ravages of  fear. When this has been achieved, the sorry dream of judgment has
Tx:30.35  love. For thus was hatred born into the world, and thus the rule of  fear established there. Now hear God speak to you through Him Who is
Tx:30.35  reminding you that it is not your will to hate and be a prisoner to  fear, a slave to death, a little creature with a little life. Your
Tx:30.47  of birth and death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms that  fear can take; quite undisturbed, the Thought God holds of you
Tx:30.53  not on them in any form. They but obscure reality, and they bring  fear because they hide the truth. Do not attack what you have made to

Tx:30.56  is the only rule for happy dreams. The gap is emptied of the toys of  fear, and then its unreality is plain. Dreams are for nothing. And
Tx:30.57  in which the only purpose of the world is seen to be forgiveness.  Fear is not its goal, and the escape from guilt becomes its aim. The
Tx:30.57  are made of anyone or anything to twist and fit into the dream of  fear. Instead, there is a wish to understand all things created as
Tx:30.59  made perfect in himself. He has no wish for anything but this. And  fear has dropped away because he is united in his purpose with
Tx:30.60  real world has a purpose still beneath creation and eternity. But  fear is gone because its purpose is forgiveness, not idolatry. And so
Tx:30.63 When brothers join in purpose in the world of  fear, they stand already at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they
Tx:30.64  and easy is the step across the narrow boundaries of the world of  fear when you have recognized Whose hand you hold! Within your hand
Tx:30.64  is everything you need to walk with perfect confidence away from  fear forever and to go straight on and quickly reach the gate of
Tx:30.65  hate is passing from the world. And with it goes all hatred and all  fear. Look back no longer, for what lies ahead is all you ever wanted
Tx:30.68  confidence with happy hearts that beat in hope and do not pound in  fear.
Tx:30.70  is never justified. Attack has no foundation. It is here escape from  fear begins and will be made complete. Here is the real world given
Tx:30.72  that lets the real world rise to take the place of dreams of terror.  Fear cannot arise unless attack is justified, and if it had a real
Tx:30.73  is just, it seems impossible His pardon could be real. Thus is the  fear of God the sure result of seeing pardon as unmerited. No one who
Tx:30.73  pardon as unmerited. No one who sees himself as guilty can avoid the  fear of God. But he is saved from this dilemma if he can forgive. The
Tx:30.84  constant flux and make allowance for stability of meaning anywhere.  Fear is a judgment never justified. Its presence has no meaning but
Tx:30.84  script and are afraid accordingly. But not because the thing you  fear has fearful meaning in itself.
Tx:30.88  with what you really are. This is a state so seemingly unsafe that  fear must rise. Do not continue thus, my brothers. We have one
Tx:30.93  that change and offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid of  fear. It will be given you to look upon your brother thus. But not
Tx:30.94  is not free if you would have him be but what he is. Why should you  fear to see the Christ in him? You but behold your Self in what you
Tx:31.8  lesson that God's Son is guiltless is a world in which there is no  fear and everything is lit with hope and sparkles with a gentle
Tx:31.9  love. But only if His Son is innocent can He be Love. For God were  fear indeed if he whom He created innocent could be a slave to guilt.
Tx:31.10 The  fear of God results as surely from the lesson that His Son is guilty
Tx:31.10  be remembered when he learns his innocence. For hate must father  fear and look upon its father as itself. How wrong are you who fail
Tx:31.30 —a place where nothing can find mercy or survive the ravages of  fear except in murder and in death. For here are you made sin, and
Tx:31.47  was made to teach. It is a lesson in a terrible displacement and a  fear so devastating that the face which smiles above it must forever
Tx:31.49  from feverish imaginations, hot with hatred and distortions born of  fear. What is a concept but a thought to which its maker gives a
Tx:31.58  in many forms. And each will seem to be accusing you. Yet have no  fear it will not be undone.
Tx:31.74  imaginings that come from guilty thoughts and concepts born of  fear. And what you see is hell, for fear is hell. All that is given
Tx:31.74  thoughts and concepts born of fear. And what you see is hell, for  fear is hell. All that is given you is for release—the sight, the
Tx:31.76 The veil across the face of Christ, the  fear of God and of salvation, and the love of guilt and death, they
Tx:31.81  dreams and no remaining hope except to die and end the dream of  fear. This is temptation, nothing more than this. Can this be
Tx:31.91  God and that can never fail. And thus are miracles as natural as  fear and agony appeared to be before the choice for holiness was
Tx:31.93  everyone who wanders in the world uncertain, lonely, and in constant  fear. For it is given you to join with him, and through the Christ in
W1:5.1  in whatever term seems accurate to you. The upset may seem to be  fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy, or any
W1:6.1  ones. Again, it is necessary to name both the form of upset (anger,  fear, worry, depression, and so on) and the perceived source very

W1:23.1 The idea for today contains the only way out of  fear that will ever succeed. Nothing else will work; everything else

W1:130.3 What, then, can  fear project upon the world? What can be seen in darkness that is

Tx:27.45  The only thing that is required for a healing is a lack of fear. The  fearful are not healed and cannot heal. This does not mean the
Tx:27.47  feared. But if you shrink from blessing will the world indeed seem  fearful, for you have withheld its peace and comfort, leaving it to
Tx:27.73  world of dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more  fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son and made him think
Tx:27.73  lost his innocence, denied his Father, and made war upon himself. So  fearful is the dream, so seeming real, he could not waken to reality

Tx:30.73  right as much as his. Nor will you think that God intends for you a  fearful judgment which your brother does not merit. For it is the

Tx:5.48  between neurotic and “healthy” guilt feelings is that neurotic guilt  feelings do not help anyone. This distinction is wise though
Tx:5.48  Let us make the distinction a little sharper now. Neurotic guilt  feelings are a device of the ego for “atoning” without sharing and
Tx:5.49  the healing potential it holds. You made the distinction in terms of  feelings, which led to a decision not to repeat the error, which is

Tx:19.73  And just as certainly, it has no feeling. It transmits to you the  feelings that you want. Like any communication medium, the body
Tx:21.15 I am responsible for what I see. I chose the  feelings I experience, and I decided on the goal I would achieve. And

Tx:13.55 Have faith in nothing, and you will  find the “treasure” that you sought. Yet you will add another burden
Tx:13.58  I will place it gently in the holy place where it belongs. You will  find no deception there but only the simple truth. And you will love
Tx:14.11  your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no end. And you will  find ever-increasing confidence in your safe inclusion in what is for
Tx:14.43  he has been taught his need for it but knows not where to look to  find it. Let him, then, see it in you and share it with you.
Tx:14.55  The lonely journey fails because it has excluded what it would  find.
Tx:14.75  powerful they could not be of you. Leave room for Him, and you will  find yourself so filled with power that nothing will prevail against
Tx:15.3  pursue you beyond the grave. And out of its unwillingness for you to  find peace even in the death it wants for you, it offers you
Tx:15.32  will gladly give, having received. The host of God need not seek to  find anything.
Tx:15.35  Delay it not. For beyond the past and future, in which you will not  find it, it stands in shimmering readiness for your acceptance. Yet
Tx:15.36  much as you want it will you bring it nearer. Think not that you can  find salvation in your own way and have it. Give over every plan that
Tx:15.41  For in private thoughts, known only to yourself, you think you  find a way to keep what you would have alone and share what you would
Tx:15.51  resembles, and so however much you seek for its reality, you cannot  find it because it is not real.
Tx:15.56  And it is equally impossible to condemn part of a relationship and  find peace within it. Under the Holy Spirit's teaching, all
Tx:15.57  perfect love is in you. And so you seek without for what you cannot  find without. I offer you my perfect faith in you in place of all
Tx:15.59 You do not  find it difficult to believe that, when another calls on God for
Tx:15.59  idea, and so your faith in Him is strengthened by sharing. What you  find difficult to accept is the fact that, like your Father, you are
Tx:15.69  He can make of them, you do not know, but you will become willing to  find out if you are willing, first, to perceive what you have made of
Tx:15.81  and join you in your love. And where you are must everyone seek and  find you there.
Tx:15.106  is it that in all your seeking for love, you seek for sacrifice and  find it. Yet you find not love. It is impossible to deny what love is
Tx:15.106  your seeking for love, you seek for sacrifice and find it. Yet you  find not love. It is impossible to deny what love is and still
Tx:16.7  is lost in any relationship which looks to weakness and hopes to  find love there. The power of love, which is its meaning, lies in the
Tx:16.33  peace in which it would gladly come quietly to them. And when they  find the fear of death is still upon them, the love relationship
Tx:16.35 Your task is not to seek for love but merely to seek and  find all of the barriers within yourself which you have built against
Tx:16.48  and Heaven and making them indistinguishable. And the attempt to  find the imagined “best” of both worlds has merely led to fantasies
Tx:16.48  better example could there be of the ego's maxim, “Seek but do not  find?”
Tx:16.60  so will you be released. Forget this not, or love will be unable to  find you and comfort you. There is a way in which the Holy Spirit
Tx:16.65  realize it is delay and that escape from pain is really possible.  Find hope and comfort rather than despair in this: You could no
Tx:16.65  hope and comfort rather than despair in this: You could no longer  find even the illusion of love in any special relationship here. For
Tx:16.73  you that salvation is past and that you must return to the past to  find salvation. There is no fantasy which does not contain the dream
Tx:16.80 Seek and  find his message in the holy instant, where all illusions are
Tx:17.48  is set. And your relationship has sanity as its purpose. For now you  find yourselves in an insane relationship, recognized as such in the
Tx:17.50  you as you perceive its purpose work in it to make it holy. You will  find many opportunities to blame each other for the “failure” of your
Tx:17.53  to blame each other for the discomfort of the situation in which you  find yourselves. And by this lack of thanks and gratitude, you make
Tx:17.68 Every situation in which you  find yourself is but a means to meet the purpose set for your
Tx:18.16 You do not  find the differences between what you see in sleep and on awaking
Tx:18.39  because you insist there must be more that you need do. [You  find it difficult to accept the idea that you need give so little to
Tx:18.63  not a means in your interpretation, and this always means you still  find sin attractive. No one accepts Atonement for himself who still
Tx:18.68 Here is the ultimate release which everyone will one day  find in his own way, at his own time. We do not need this time. Time
Tx:18.80 Go out and  find them, for they bring your Self with them. And lead them gently
Tx:19.32  believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can unite, you will  find guilt attractive and believe that sin is precious. For the
Tx:19.36  a temple of healing—a place where all the weary ones can come and  find rest. Here is the rest that waits for all after the journey. And
Tx:19.50  out guilt and cherish every scrap of evil and of sin which they can  find, losing none of them on pain of death and laying them
Tx:19.71 It is impossible to seek for pleasure through the body and not  find pain. It is essential that this relationship be understood, for
Tx:19.76  itself along the way and finding what it seeks. So does the ego  find the death it seeks, returning it to you.
Tx:20.13  The holiness that leads us is within us, as is our home. So will we  find what we were meant to find by Him Who leads us.

Tx:20.37  comes closest to himself in a holy relationship. There he begins to  find the certainty his Father has in him. And there he finds his
Tx:20.58  it that is not consistent. The seeming inconsistencies or parts you  find more difficult than others are merely indications of areas where
Tx:20.76  no meaning cannot be perceived. And meaning always looks within to  find itself and then looks out. All meaning that you give the world
Tx:21.17  decision is the determiner of every situation in which he seems to  find himself by chance or accident. No accident nor chance is
Tx:21.34  Spirit has a use for all the means for sin by which you sought to  find it. But as He uses them, they lead away from sin because His
Tx:21.53  ego's “reasoning.” Its alien nature to the ego is proof you will not  find the answer there. Yet if it must be so, it must exist. And if it
Tx:21.53  and has your freedom as the purpose given it, you must be free to  find it.
Tx:21.73  Yes, it can overrun the world and seek an enemy. But it can never  find what is not there. Yes, it can dream it found an enemy, but this
Tx:21.73  but this will shift even as it attacks, so that it runs at once to  find another and never comes to rest in victory. And as it runs, it
Tx:21.74  Reason would surely bid him seek no longer what is not there to  find. Yet first he must be willing to perceive a world where it is
Tx:21.76  attests to your belief that truth may be the enemy you yet may  find. Here, then, would seem to be the last remaining hope of finding
Tx:22.12  else.” Where Christ has entered, no one is alone, for never could He  find a home in separate ones. Yet must He be reborn into His ancient
Tx:22.44  miracle to everyone! No one who has received it for himself could  find it difficult. For by receiving it, he learned it was not given
Tx:22.51  as functionless. No one but yearns for freedom and tries to  find it. Yet he will seek for it where he believes it is and can be
Tx:22.51  or body, and he will make the other serve his choice as means to  find it.
Tx:23.26  with it to overcome His Son. Think not the ego will enable you to  find escape from what it wants. That is the function of this course,
Tx:23.35  him deceive you. You cannot seek to harm him and be saved. Who can  find safety from attack by turning on himself? How can it matter what
Tx:23.46  in safety from above and not be touched. But from within it, you can  find no safety. Not one tree left standing still will shelter you.
Tx:23.55  could be wanted more? Who with the love of God upholding him could  find the choice of miracles or murder hard to make?
Tx:24.48  He walks beside you and before, leading the way that He must go to  find Himself complete. His quietness becomes your certainty. And

Tx:24.60  tiny willingness, a nod to God, a greeting to the Christ in you, you  find a burden wearisome and tedious, too heavy to be borne. Yet to
Tx:25.12  the body's eyes perceive fills you with fear? Perhaps you think you  find a hope of satisfaction there. Perhaps you fancy to attain some
Tx:25.40  be regained unless the way is shown to him through you that you may  find it, walking by his side.
Tx:25.56  needs and to the special time and place in which you think you  find yourself and where you can be free of place and time and all
Tx:25.64  not called upon to do what one divided still against himself would  find impossible. Have little faith that wisdom could be found in such
Tx:26.14  from the God of justice. But ask not God to punish him because you  find him guilty and would have him die. God offers you the means to
Tx:26.44  the rest. For who can choose to keep the ones which he prefers and  find the safety that the truth alone can give? Who can believe
Tx:26.58  too little. He would sacrifice his own identity with everything to  find a little treasure of his own. And this he cannot do without a
Tx:26.58  loss, and loneliness. This is the treasure he has sought to  find. And he could only be afraid of it. Is fear a treasure? Can
Tx:26.88  to perceive yourself unfairly treated. In this view, you seek to  find an innocence which is not Theirs but yours alone and at the cost
Tx:27.2  not escape the death you made for him. But in his innocence, you  find your own.
Tx:27.67  allegiance. What conceals the truth is not where you should look to  find the truth. The witnesses to sin all stand within one little
Tx:27.67  to sin all stand within one little space. And it is here you  find the cause of your perspective on the world.
Tx:28.38  whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in them. You  find yourself by not accepting them as causing you and giving you
Tx:29.9  the body to say “no” to Heaven's calling, were you not afraid to  find a loss of self in finding God? Yet can your Self be lost by
Tx:29.10  looking on it as a simple way, without a sacrifice or any loss, to  find yourself in Heaven and in God? Until you realize you give up
Tx:29.12 It has been hopeless to attempt to  find the hope of peace upon a battleground. It has been futile to
Tx:29.14  where you invited Him to be. There is no other place where He can  find His host nor where His host can meet with Him. And nowhere else
Tx:29.35  of hate? Who would lay bloody hands on Heaven itself and hope to  find its peace? Your brother thinks he holds the hand of death.
Tx:29.43  answer in His place. There is no other answer you can substitute and  find the happiness His answer brings. Seek not outside yourself. For

Tx:30.76  yourself that is not whole and will remain afraid to look within and  find escape from every idol there. Salvation rests on faith there
Tx:31.7  will succeed. There is no joy that you can seek for here and hope to  find. Yet this is not the only outcome which your learning can
Tx:31.30  and orders that the world be like itself—a place where nothing can  find mercy or survive the ravages of fear except in murder and in
Tx:31.38  step is to defeat your purpose here. You did not come to learn to  find a road the world does not contain. The search for different
Tx:31.39  it. This makes no sense and cannot be the way. To you who seem to  find this course to be too difficult to learn, let me repeat that to
Tx:31.50  roads nor realize the way you see yourself. Now must the Holy Spirit  find a way to help you see this concept of the self must be undone if

Tx:31.64  will undo and let you see another world your eyes could never  find. Be not concerned how this could ever be. You do not understand
Tx:31.94 Let us be glad that we can walk the world and  find so many chances to perceive another situation where God's gift
W1:I.4  great specificity. Each one applies to every situation in which you  find yourself and to everything you see in it. Each day's exercises
W1:I.5 Some of the ideas you will  find hard to believe, and others will seem quite startling. It does
W1:4.1  not, however, select only the thoughts you think are “bad.” You will  find, if you train yourself to look at your thoughts, that they
W1:4.5  Further, since these exercises are the first of their kind, you may  find the suspension of judgment in connection with thoughts
W1:5.5 In these exercises, more than in the preceding ones, you may  find it hard to be indiscriminate and to avoid giving greater weight
W1:5.8 You may also  find yourself less willing to apply today's idea to some perceived
W1:8.4  your mind for the usual minute or so, merely noting the thoughts you  find there. Name each one by the central figure or theme it contains,
W1:8.10 This can be done four or five times during the day, unless you  find it irritates you. If you find it trying, three or four times are
W1:8.10  five times during the day, unless you find it irritates you. If you  find it trying, three or four times are sufficient. You might find it
W1:8.10  If you find it trying, three or four times are sufficient. You might  find it helpful, however, to include your irritation, or any emotion
W1:10.6  judgment. Try to avoid classification of any kind. In fact, if you  find it helpful to do so, you might imagine that you are watching an
W1:12.9  for today. Nor should the practice periods exceed a minute. You may  find even this too long. Terminate the exercises whenever you

W1:14.2  have more than three practice periods with today's idea unless you  find them comfortable. If you do, it will be because you really
W1:16.4  search. This is quite difficult until you get used to it. You will  find that it is still hard for you not to make artificial
W1:16.9 Four or five practice periods are recommended if you  find them relatively effortless. If strain is experienced, three will

W1:29.2 You will probably  find this idea very difficult to grasp at this point. You may find it
W1:29.2  find this idea very difficult to grasp at this point. You may  find it silly, irreverent, senseless, funny, and even objectionable.
W1:32.4  not less than three required. More than five can be utilized if you  find the exercises restful. To facilitate this, select a time when

W1:34.7  anxiety, or worry, use the idea in its original form. If you  find you need more than one application of today's idea to help you
W1:39.10 You may  find these sessions easier if you intersperse the applications with
W1:39.10  repeat today's idea to yourself slowly a few times. You may also  find it helpful to include a few short intervals in which you just
W1:40.2  close your eyes for the exercise periods, although you will probably  find it more helpful if you do. However, you may be in a number of
W1:41.6 From time to time, you may repeat today's idea if you  find it helpful. But most of all, try to sink down and inward, away
W1:42.2  and anywhere, wherever you are and in whatever circumstances you  find yourself. Your passage through time and space is not random. You
W1:42.8  exercises. Try merely to step back and let the thoughts come. If you  find this difficult, it is better to spend the practice period
W1:42.8  then closed, then open, and so on, than it is to strain in order to  find suitable thoughts.
W1:43.11 If you should  find your mind wandering, if you begin to be aware of thoughts which
W1:43.12  may vary according to the circumstances and situations in which you  find yourself during the day. When you are with someone else, for

W1:44.5  ready to learn the form of exercise we will use today, but you may  find that you will encounter strong resistance. The reason is very
W1:44.6  recognizing that its opposition and fears are meaningless. You might  find it helpful to remind yourself from time to time that to reach
W1:44.9  closed unless you are aware of fear. In that case, you will probably  find it more reassuring to open your eyes briefly. Try, however, to
W1:45.7 My real thoughts are in my mind. I would like to  find them.
W1:55.5  of illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide God has given me to  find out what my own best interests are, recognizing that I cannot
W1:61.8  here. These two practice periods may be longer than the rest if you  find them helpful and want to extend them.
W1:62.2  That is why all forgiveness is a gift to yourself. Your goal is to  find out who you are, having denied your Identity by attacking
W1:63.5 If you can close your eyes, you will probably  find it easier to let related thoughts come to you in the minute or
W1:65.1  is the one God gave me.” This is the only way in which you can  find peace of mind.
W1:65.8 After a while, interfering thoughts will become harder to  find. Try, however, to continue a minute or so longer, attempting to
W1:66.3  to its attacks on truth. We will merely be glad that we can  find out what truth is.
W1:66.11  has taken in your mind and the many ways in which you tried to  find salvation under the ego's guidance. Did you find it? Were you
W1:66.11  which you tried to find salvation under the ego's guidance. Did you  find it? Were you happy? Did they bring you peace?
W1:67.5  must be in you. And somewhere in your mind, It is there for you to  find.
W1:67.6 You may  find it necessary to repeat the idea for today from time to time to
W1:67.6  from time to time to replace distracting thoughts. You may also  find that this is not sufficient and that you need to continue adding
W1:68.4  will suffer guilt as it is certain that those who forgive will  find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will forget
W1:68.5  however, is simply a question of motivation. Today we will try to  find out how you would feel without them. If you succeed even by ever
W1:68.6  you regard as major grievances. Some of these will be quite easy to  find. Then think of the seemingly minor grievances you hold against
W1:70.12  reach the light in you, which is where your salvation is. You cannot  find it in the clouds that surround the light, and it is in them you
W1:71.5  is in strict accord with the ego's basic doctrine, “Seek but do not  find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you will not find
W1:71.5  do not find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you will not  find salvation than to channelize all your efforts in searching for
W1:72.14  salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you will  find.
W1:72.15 We are no longer asking the ego what salvation is and where to  find it. We are asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer
W1:73.9  the exercises for today in happy confidence, certain that we will  find what it is your will to find and remember what it is your will
W1:73.9  happy confidence, certain that we will find what it is your will to  find and remember what it is your will to remember. No idle wishes
W1:74.15 Then try to  find what you are seeking. A minute or two every half-hour, with eyes
W1:76.2  For if you could, you would forever seek where it is not and never  find it. The idea for today tells you once again how simple is
W1:77.9  will recognize these situations; you are not relying on yourself to  find them, you are therefore fully entitled to receive them whenever
W1:79.3 That is the position in which you  find yourselves now. You have the answer, but you are still uncertain
W1:R2.2  and then close your eyes and listen. Repeat the first phase if you  find your mind wandering, but try to spend the major part of the
W1:83.5  Source. And I must learn to recognize what makes me happy if I would  find happiness.
W1:84.3 You might  find these specific forms helpful in applying the idea:
W1:92.9  to embrace you as Its own. Such is the meeting place we try today to  find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self, His Son,
W1:92.10  light, closing the body's eyes and asking truth to show us how to  find the meeting place of self and Self, where light and strength are
W1:96.5 Spirit makes use of mind as means to  find its Self-expression. And the mind which serves the Spirit is at
W1:96.9 We will attempt today to  find this thought, whose presence in your mind is guaranteed by Him
W1:96.14  have denied, and let your mind go wandering in a world of dreams, to  find illusions in their place. Here are your thoughts, the only ones
W1:96.14  are your thoughts, the only ones you have. Salvation is among them;  find it there.
W1:99.20  on your mind and let all fear be gently laid aside that Love may  find Its rightful place in you and show you that you are the Son of
W1:100.9 Now let us try to  find that joy which proves to us and all the world God's Will for us.
W1:100.9  us and all the world God's Will for us. It is your function that you  find it here and that you find it now. For this you came. Let this
W1:100.9  Will for us. It is your function that you find it here and that you  find it now. For this you came. Let this one be the day that you
W1:100.10  are essential to His plan. You are His messenger today. And you must  find what He would have you give.
W1:101.2  for, for they know it waits for them and it will seek them out and  find them somewhere, sometime, in some form which evens the account
W1:101.9 So should you start your practice periods, and then attempt again to  find the joy these thoughts will introduce into your mind. Give these
W1:102.6  mind, for it is there, awaiting but your choice. You cannot fail to  find it when you learn it is your choice and that you share God's
W1:104.7  where His gifts of peace and joy are welcome and to which we come to  find what has been given us by Him. We come in confidence today,
W1:108.12  and it will come to you in the amount in which you gave it. You will  find you have exact return, for this is what you asked. It might be
W1:110.10 Seek Him today, and  find Him. He will be your savior from all idols you have made. For
W1:110.10  He will be your savior from all idols you have made. For when you  find Him you will understand how worthless are your idols and how
W1:121.11  him somewhere—a little gleam which you had never noticed. Try to  find some little spark of brightness shining through the ugly picture
W1:122.5 Here is the answer! Seek for it no more. You will not  find another one instead. God's plan for your salvation cannot
W1:124.10  hold out to you to look upon yourself. When you are ready, you will  find it there within your mind and waiting to be found. You will
W1:127.5  what love is, and what you are as well. Seek not within the world to  find your Self. Love is not found in darkness and in death. Yet it is
W1:129.3 Is it a loss to  find a world instead where losing is impossible, where love endures
W1:129.3  hate cannot exist, and vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss to  find all things you really want and know they have no ending, and
W1:130.9  the strength God offers me and see no value in this world that I may  find my freedom and deliverance.
W1:131.1  is the setting of his searching and the place to which he comes to  find stability?
W1:131.5  you must. Be glad as well to learn you search for Heaven and must  find the goal you really want. No one can fail to want this goal and
W1:131.6  nor affect His perfect, timeless, and unchanging Love. You will  find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall away, yet not
W1:131.10  abides in what does not exist, while Heaven is the place he cannot  find. Leave foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your
W1:131.15 Seek for that door and  find it. But before you try to open it, remind yourself no one can
W1:131.17  gladness, for we come to the appointed time and place where you will  find the goal of all your searching here and all the seeking of the
W1:131.19 Today I seek and  find all that I want. My single purpose offers it to me. No one can
W1:132.3  future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not want to  find. The present now remains the only time. Here in the present is
W1:132.3  past be lifted and release the future from your ancient fears, you  find escape and give it to the world.
W1:132.8  Some see it suddenly on point of death and rise to teach it. Others  find it in experience that is not of this world, which shows them
W1:132.8  the truth, and yet it clearly contradicts the world. And some will  find it in this course and in the exercises that we do today.
W1:133.14  is reached by empty hands and open minds, which come with nothing to  find everything and claim it as their own. We will attempt to reach
W1:133.16  and only what has value do I seek, for only that do I desire to  find.
W1:134.3 The major difficulty that you  find in genuine forgiveness on your part is that you still believe
W1:134.9  of you, the door is open to yourself. There is a very simple way to  find the door to true forgiveness and perceive it open wide in
W1:140.8  all illusions, not another shift among them. We will try today to  find the source of healing, which is in our minds because our Father
W1:153.2  within. The mind is now confused and knows not where to turn to  find escape from its imaginings.
W1:153.15  as distraction ceases to arise to turn us from our purpose, we will  find that half an hour is too short a time to spend with God. Nor
W1:155.2  they can be illusions and avoid their own reality. Yet when they  find their own reality is even here, then they step back and let it
W1:155.3  those to look upon who chose to come and have not yet rejoiced to  find they were mistaken in the choice. They cannot learn directly
W1:155.9  now, yet carefully because this path is new to you. And you may  find that you are tempted still to walk ahead of truth and let
W1:160.6 What does he search for now? What can he  find? A stranger to himself can find no home wherever he may look,
W1:160.6  does he search for now? What can he find? A stranger to himself can  find no home wherever he may look, for he has made return impossible.
W1:166.4  he thinks he knows. Here is the only safety he believes that he can  find. Without the world he made is he an outcast, homeless and

W1:198.4  God Himself? And why would you oppose it, quarrel with it, seek to  find a thousand ways in which it must be wrong, a thousand other

W1:199.6  Holy Spirit is the home of minds that seek for freedom. In Him they  find what they have sought. The body's purpose now is unambiguous.
W1:200.1 Seek you no further. You will not  find peace except the peace of God. Accept this fact, and save

W1:200.3  and seek again for hell, when you have but to look with open eyes to  find that Heaven lies before you, through a door that opens easily to

W1:208.1  let the earth be still along with me. And in that stillness, we will  find the peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to God
W1:217.1  for my salvation but myself? And how but through salvation can I  find the Self to Whom my thanks are due? I am not a body. I am free.
W2:I.1  enter peace. Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set and  find the end toward which our practicing was geared.
W2:I.7  in silence, unafraid and certain of Your coming. We have sought to  find our way by following the Guide You sent to us. We did not know
W2:221.2  our Father's answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and  find His peace, to hear Him speak to us of what we are, and to reveal
W2:225.2 Brother, we  find that stillness now. The way is open. Now we follow it in peace
W2:227.2 And so today we  find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. The Son
W2:229.1 I seek my own Identity and  find it in these words: “Love, Which created me, is what I am.” Now
W2:230.2  there unchanged. I am as You created me. I need but call on You to  find the peace You gave. It is Your will that gave it to Your Son.
W2:WS.1 Salvation is a promise made by God that you would  find your way to Him at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees
W2:231.1  sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever really want to  find. Let me remember You. What else could I desire but the truth
W2:231.2  Heaven. This we seek. And only this is what it will be given us to  find.
W2:235.1  I need but keep in mind my Father's Will for me is only happiness to  find that only happiness has come to me. And I need but remember that
W2:WIW.3 The mechanisms of illusion have been born instead. And now they go to  find what has been given them to seek. Their aim is to fulfill the
W2:242.2  needs. And You will give us everything we want and that will help us  find the way to You.
W2:246.1 Let me not think that I can  find the way to God if I have hatred in my heart. Let me not try to

W2:256.1  not been cherished by the mind, what need would there have been to  find a way to where you are? Who would still be uncertain? Who could
W2:256.2  in Your appointed way. We have no goal except to hear Your Voice and  find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to us.

W2:261.2  my Father, home to You today. I choose to be as You created me and  find the Son whom You created as my Self.
W2:269.1  way to show me my mistakes and look beyond them. It is given me to  find a new perception through the Guide You gave to me and through
W2:WIC.5  the Atonement has been reached at last? So therefore let us seek to  find Christ's face and look on nothing else. As we behold His glory
W2:280.2 Today let me give honor to Your Son, for thus alone I  find the way to You. Father, I lay no limits on the Son You love and
W2:286.1  You has every conflict been resolved. In You is everything I hope to  find already given me. Your peace is mine. My heart is quiet and my
W2:287.1  I prefer before the peace of God? What treasure would I seek and  find and keep that can compare with my Identity? And would I rather
W2:289.2  Your final step. Shall I demand that You wait longer for Your Son to  find the loveliness You planned to be the end of all his dreams and
W2:292.1  be opposing His. And while we think this will is real, we will not  find the end He has appointed as the outcome of all problems we

W2:296.2  we allow His teaching to persuade the world through us to seek and  find the easy path to God!
W2:304.2  Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son that he may  find again the memory of You and of Your Son as You created him.
W2:309.1  to deny my Father's Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to  find my will as God created it and as it is. I fear to look within
W2:309.2  serene and undefiled. It is the holy altar to my Self, and there I  find my true Identity.
W2:318.1  means by which God's Son is saved because salvation's purpose is to  find the sinlessness which God has placed in me. I was created as the
W2:321.1  what made me free nor what my freedom is nor where to look to  find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice
W2:321.1  myself no more. For I have neither made nor understood the way to  find my freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my
W2:321.2  for the world, which will be freed along with us. How glad are we to  find our freedom through the certain way our Father has established.
W2:322.1 I sacrifice illusions, nothing more. And as illusions go, I  find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining
W2:325.1  the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to  find. These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed
W2:325.1  before he journeys on and help his brothers walk ahead with him and  find the way to Heaven and to God.
W2:328.1  God's creation is the way in which salvation is obtained. Yet all we  find is sickness, suffering and loss, and death. This is not what our
W2:328.1  us, nor is there any second to His Will. To join with His is but to  find our own. And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go
W2:329.2  by all of us. Through it we recognize that we are one. Through it we  find our way at last to God.
W2:331.2  Let us look upon the holy sights forgiveness shows today that we may  find the peace of God. Amen.
W2:334.1 I will not wait another day to  find the treasures which my Father offers me. Illusions must be vain
W2:334.1  and choose to follow Him. This is my choice today. And so I go to  find the treasures God has given me.
W2:335.2  reminds me that he was created one with me and like myself. In him I  find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well.

W2:336.1  lilies shine into the mind and call it to return and look within, to  find what it has vainly sought without. For here and only here is
W2:336.2  of separation and of sin. Then let me, Father, look within and  find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains
W2:340.1  His suffering is done. For he will hear Your Voice directing him to  find Christ's vision through forgiveness and be free forever from all
W2:345.2  light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired world. It will  find rest today, for we will offer what we have received.
W2:346.1  abide in You and know no laws except Your law of Love. And I would  find the peace which You created for Your Son, forgetting all the
W2:349.1  I seek. For thus do I obey the law of love and give what I would  find and make my own. It will be given me because I have chosen it as
W2:352.1  reflected in forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a way to  find Your peace again. I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this
W2:352.1  You and One Who leads me to it. Father, I would hear Your Voice and  find Your peace today. For I would love my own Identity and find in
W2:352.1  and find Your peace today. For I would love my own Identity and  find in Him the memory of You.

Tx:6.72  the undoing of the getting concept. Accordingly, the Holy Spirit's  first lesson was “to have, give all to all.” We said that this is apt
Tx:6.73  is, “having” appears to be the opposite of “being.” Therefore, the  first lesson seems to contain a contradiction since it is being

Tx:11.73  without and within, for you will see it without because you saw it  first within. Everything you behold without is a judgment of what you
Tx:12.35  own private world. And thus it is that you must attack yourself  first, for what you attack is not in others. Its only reality is in

Tx:16.43 In looking at the special relationship, it is necessary  first to realize that it involves a great amount of pain. Anxiety,
Tx:16.47  how it is accomplished. The Holy Spirit knows that completion lies  first in union and then in the extension of union. To the ego,

Tx:18.20  You would have used them to remain asleep. We once said that the  first change, before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear
Tx:18.35  did not make the learner, nor can you make him different. Would you  first make a miracle yourself and then expect one to be made for you?
Tx:18.36  with God's. Atonement cannot come to those who think that they must  first atone, but only to those who offer it nothing more than simple
Tx:19.38  will you do. Yet the peace which already lies deeply within must  first expand and flow across the obstacles you placed before it. This
Tx:19.40 The  first obstacle that peace must flow across is your desire to get rid
Tx:19.41  remnant of attack you cherish still against each other that is the  first obstacle the peace in you encounters in its going forth. This
Tx:19.59 We said that peace must  first surmount the obstacle of your desire to get rid of it. Where
Tx:19.59  obstacle that peace must flow across, and closely related to the  first, is the belief that the body is valuable for what it offers.
Tx:19.63  flows across all else. The second obstacle is no more solid than the  first. For you will neither to get rid of peace nor limit it. What
Tx:19.83  the power to release from corruption. What better way to teach the  first and fundamental principle in a course on miracles than by
Tx:19.83  you the one which seems to be the hardest can be accomplished  first? The body can but serve your purpose. As you look upon it, so
Tx:19.97  eyes, you will be ready to look on terror with no fear at all. But  first lift up your eyes and look upon each other in innocence born of
Tx:20.8  forgiven and you may look upon the Son of God as whole. But look you  first upon the altar in your chosen home and see what you have laid
Tx:20.18  it or it to them. And so they saw that it was in them, not deciding  first where they would have it be. Their looking merely asked a
Tx:20.46  than the experience of both a holy and an unholy relationship. The  first is based on love and rests on it, serene and undisturbed. The
Tx:20.67 Vision will come to you at  first in glimpses, but they will be enough to show you what is given
Tx:21.18  because you want it. Yet for this, the power of your wanting must  first be recognized. You must accept its strength and not its
Tx:21.36  goes far beyond the body, supporting vision, not obstructing it. But  first they chose to recognize how much their faith had limited their
Tx:21.47  part hears as the sweetest music—the song it longed to hear since  first the ego came into your minds. The ego's weakness is its
Tx:21.70  in it. Enormity has no appeal save to the little. And only those who  first believe that they are little could see attraction there.
Tx:21.74  would surely bid him seek no longer what is not there to find. Yet  first he must be willing to perceive a world where it is not. It is
Tx:21.76 You have already answered the  first three questions but not yet the last. For this one still seems
Tx:22.14 Here is the  first direct perception that you have made. You made it through
Tx:22.39 It is but the  first few steps along the right way that seem hard, for you have
Tx:23.20 The  first chaotic law is that the truth is different for everyone. Like
Tx:23.21 Think how this seems to interfere with the  first principle of miracles. For this establishes degrees of truth
Tx:23.22  deserves attack and death. This principle, closely related to the  first, is the demand that errors call for punishment and not
Tx:24.34  of destruction, it must kill, and you are drawn to it to kill it  first. And such is guilt's attraction. Here is death enthroned as
Tx:24.43  but to destruction? Yet think not that it looked upon your brother  first, nor hated him before it hated you. The sin its eyes behold in
Tx:24.45  there to see and hear and love and follow home? He looked upon you  first but recognized that you were not complete. And so He sought for

Tx:25.84  and attack. No one can be unjust to you, unless you have decided  first to be unjust. And then must problems rise to block your way and
Tx:26.32  the way to nothingness was made. The tiny tick of time in which the  first mistake was made, and all of them within that one mistake, held
Tx:26.32  the Correction for that one and all of them that came within the  first. And in that tiny instant time was gone, for that was all it
Tx:27.14  truth. Good cannot be returned for evil, for forgiveness does not  first establish sin and then forgive it. Who can say and mean, “My
Tx:27.32  for more than everything? Yet true undoing must be kind. And so the  first replacement for your picture is another picture of another kind.
Tx:27.43  the answers merely raise another question, though they leave the  first unanswered. In the holy instant, you can bring the question to
Tx:27.52  to you by all the many different witnesses it finds. Your brother  first among them will be seen, but thousands stand behind him, and
Tx:27.67  seen a need for evil in the world. And this is where your guilt was  first beheld. In separation from your brother was the first attack
Tx:27.67  your guilt was first beheld. In separation from your brother was the  first attack upon yourself begun. And it is this the world bears
Tx:27.81  for the part you see is but the second part, whose cause lies in the  first. No one asleep and dreaming in the world remembers his attack
Tx:28.23  dreamer could not be the maker of the dream. Effect and cause are  first split off and then reversed, so that effect becomes a cause;
Tx:28.24  of what has gone before, appearing as a cause. The miracle is the  first step in giving back to cause the function of causation, not
Tx:28.28  is not our concern. For you have barely started to allow your  first uncertain steps to be directed up the ladder separation led you
Tx:29.20  beyond his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a savior  first, before he can remember what he is. And he must save who would
Tx:30.6  do. And what you hear may not resolve the problem as you saw it  first. This leads to fear because it contradicts what you perceive,
Tx:30.6  There are rules by which this will not happen. But it does occur at  first, while you are learning how to hear.
Tx:30.9  serve to let you be directed without fear, for opposition will not  first arise and then become a problem in itself.
Tx:30.28  rules for its undoing. Let us, then, consider once again the very  first of the decisions which are offered here.
Tx:30.29  really is with what you choose to make them. That is really all. The  first rule, then, is not coercion but a simple statement of a simple
Tx:30.57  as they really are. And it is recognized that all things must be  first forgiven, and then understood.
Tx:30.63  forgiveness to the love of God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted  first. And then will come the knowledge They are One.
Tx:30.74  that can not be overlooked. For if there were, it would be necessary  first there be some sin which stands beyond forgiveness. There would
Tx:31.4  suited you. And every lesson that makes up the world arises from the  first accomplishment of learning—an enormity so great the Holy
Tx:31.14  of what you are. For there are steps in its relinquishment. The  first is a decision that you make. But afterwards the truth is given
Tx:31.26  to make a choice that will result in different outcomes, there is  first one thing that must be overlearned. It must become a habit of
Tx:31.26  of response so typical of everything you do that it becomes your  first response to all temptation and to every situation that occurs.
Tx:31.44  to serve two purposes, but one of which the mind can recognize. The  first presents the face of innocence, the aspect acted on. It is this
Tx:31.45  to those who would be generous and good. This aspect never makes the  first attack. But every day a hundred little things make small
Tx:31.54  of [the] perceiver's mind. Yet who was it that did the choosing  first? If you are what you chose your brother be, alternatives were

Tx:31.55  view. The main advantage of the shifting to the second from the  first is that you somehow entered in the choice by your decision. But
Tx:31.75  holy ones especially entrusted to his care. And this he learns when  first he looks upon one brother as he looks upon himself and sees the

W1:2.1 The exercises with this idea are the same as those for the  first one. Begin with the things that are near you, and apply the
W1:4.3  time in somewhat different form. The aim here is to train you in the  first steps toward the goal of separating the meaningless from the
W1:4.3  the goal of separating the meaningless from the meaningful. It is a  first attempt in the long-range purpose of learning to see the
W1:4.5  pointlessly preoccupied. Further, since these exercises are the  first of their kind, you may find the suspension of judgment in
W1:5.1  the day. Applying the same idea to each of them separately is the  first step in ultimately recognizing they are all the same.
W1:5.4  this should not be substituted for practice periods in which you  first search your mind for “sources” of upset in which you believe
W1:5.8  perceived sources of upset than to others. If this occurs, think  first of this:

W1:16.5 In the practice periods,  first repeat the idea, and then as each one crosses your mind, hold
W1:17.1  you have no neutral thoughts. It is always the thought that comes  first, despite the temptation to believe that it is really the other
W1:19.2  fact that minds are joined. This is rarely a wholly welcome idea at  first, since it seems to carry with it an enormous sense of

W1:20.2 This is our  first attempt to introduce structure. Do not misconstrue it as an
W1:23.5  you see, because its cause can be changed. This change requires,  first, that the cause be identified and then let go, so that it can
W1:23.5  cause be identified and then let go, so that it can be replaced. The  first two steps in this process require your cooperation. The final
W1:23.5  one does not. Your images have already been replaced. By taking the  first two steps, you will see that this is so.
W1:26.7  First, name the situation:
W1:28.7  practice periods today in which the idea for the day is stated  first and then applied to whatever you see in looking about you. Not
W1:36.3  First, close your eyes and repeat the idea for today several times
W1:37.1 This idea contains the  first glimmerings of your true function in the world or why you are
W1:39.10  thinking of anything. Sustained concentration is very difficult at  first. It will become much easier as your mind becomes more

W1:43.11  which you become preoccupied with irrelevant thoughts. Return to the  first phase of the exercises as often as necessary to prevent this.

W2:WIW.4  a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the world.  Follow His light and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice
W2:258.2 Our goal is but to  follow in the way that leads to You. We have no goal but this. What
W2:298.2 Father, I come to You today, because I would not  follow any way but Yours. You are beside me. Certain is Your way. And
W2:324.1  always call me back and guide my feet aright. My brothers all can  follow in the way I lead them. Yet I merely follow in the way to You
W2:324.1  My brothers all can follow in the way I lead them. Yet I merely  follow in the way to You as You direct me and would have me go.
W2:324.2 So let us  follow One Who knows the way. We need not tarry, and we cannot stray
W2:324.2  except an instant from His loving hand. We walk together, for we  follow Him. And it is He Who makes the ending sure and guarantees a
W2:326.1  to create like You. And as it is in Heaven, so on earth. Your plan I  follow here, and at the end I know that You will gather Your Effects
W2:334.1  Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and choose to  follow Him. This is my choice today. And so I go to find the
W2:352.1  me a way to find Your peace again. I am redeemed when I elect to  follow in this way. You have not left me comfortless. I have within
W2:FL.2  serving us as gracious guidance in the way to go. Let us together  follow in this way that truth points out to us. And let us be the

M:4.11  on trust. Once that has been achieved, the others cannot fail to  follow. Only the trusting can afford honesty, for only they can see
M:4.16  them, making sure no harm can come to them. They hold His gifts and  follow in His way because God's Voice directs them in all things. Joy
M:5.7  with this idea goes also all confusion about creation. Does not this  follow of necessity? Place cause and effect in their true sequence in

Tx:9.6  this, not because you are being punished for it, but because you are  following the wrong guide and will lose your way.

M:29.3  that lets the memory of love return to you. Do not, then, think that  following the Holy Spirit's guidance is necessary merely because of

Tx:1.62  you first perceive the stimulus and then behave accordingly. It  follows, then, that:

Tx:5.33  of the Holy Spirit shares the property of other ideas, because it  follows the laws of the Universe of which it is a part. Therefore, it
Tx:5.61  believes that this is what you did because it believes it is you. It  follows, then, that if you identify with the ego, you must perceive
Tx:5.62  by you. The classic picture of fear of retaliation from without then  follows because the severity of the guilt is so acute that it must be

Tx:6.81  but the second step is easier than the first because it  follows. The very fact that you have accepted that is a demonstration

Tx:6.86  desirable. This step, which follows from the second as the second  follows from the first, emphasizes the dichotomy between the
Tx:6.95  beginning the second step, but I also told you that the third one  follows it. The Holy Spirit will enable you to go on if you follow
Tx:8.74 A more honest statement would be as  follows: Those who want the ego are predisposed to defend it.
Tx:9.73  because you still believe that it can get you something you want. It  follows, then, that you want something other than peace of mind, but
Tx:10.11  your Father are one. God willed to create, and your will is His. It  follows, then, that you will to create since your will follows from
Tx:10.11  is His. It follows, then, that you will to create since your will  follows from His. And being an extension of His Will, yours must be

Tx:23.39  the belief in sin, the faith in chaos must follow. It is because it  follows that it seems to be a logical conclusion—a valid step in
Tx:24.2  on everything that you believe. It is the outcome of belief and  follows it as surely as does suffering follow guilt and freedom
Tx:27.84  and sad indeed. Yet they but follow. And it is their cause which  follows nothing and is but a jest.

Tx:31.7  only two. Each has its outcome in a different world. And each world  follows surely from its source. The certain outcome of the lesson
Tx:31.20  remembering how much we do not know. This brother neither leads nor  follows us but walks beside us on the selfsame road. He is like us,
Tx:31.23  goal, which is but to decide to walk with him, so neither leads nor  follows. Thus it is a way you go together, not alone. And in this
W1:9.1 This idea obviously  follows from the two preceding ones. But while you may be able to

W1:35.6  suitable unselected list for applying the idea for today might be as  follows:
W1:40.5 Another might be something as  follows:
W1:R1.1  review. In the practice periods, the exercises should be done as  follows:
W1:91.2  miracle remains unseen. Thus you are convinced it is not there. This  follows from the premises from which the darkness comes. Denial of
W1:129.1 This is the thought which  follows from the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot stop with the
W1:134.13  in all the world which leads to any understanding of the laws it  follows nor the thought which it reflects. It is as alien to the
W1:156.1  is no cause for guilt, and being causeless it does not exist. It  follows surely from the basic thought so often mentioned in the text
W1:166.6  with him, for everyone who comes here has pursued the path he  follows and has felt defeat and hopelessness as he is feeling them.
W1:193.17 Let no one hour cast its shadow on the one that  follows, and when that one goes, let everything that happens in its
W2:312.1 Perception  follows judgment. Having judged, you therefore see what you would
M:I.4  There is no escape from it. How could it be otherwise? Everyone who  follows the world's curriculum, and everyone here does follow it
M:4.14  Harm is the outcome of judgment. It is the dishonest act that  follows a dishonest thought. It is a verdict of guilt upon a brother
M:9.2  own decisions; he asks his Teacher for His answer, and it is this he  follows as his guide for action. This becomes easier and easier as

folly (7)

Tx:30.58  attack. There, it is clear that by attack is understanding lost. The  folly of pursuing guilt as goal is fully recognized. And idols are
W1:134.1  truth. In such a view, forgiveness must be seen as mere eccentric  folly, and this course appear to rest salvation on a whim.
W1:135.1  real, and that his own defense can save himself? And herein lies the  folly of defense—it gives illusions full reality and then attempts
W1:136.15  to any mind that would lay down its arms and cease to play with  folly. It is found at any time—today, if you will choose to
W1:153.6  never be attacked because it recognizes strength so great attack is  folly or a silly game a tired child might play when he becomes too
W1:191.4  denied? You are as God created you. All else but this one thing is  folly to believe. In this one thought is everything set free. In this
M:24.1  worst, it induces inertia in the present. In between many kinds of  folly are possible.

W1:136.20  because it is not limited by time, by weather or fatigue, by  food and drink, or any laws you made it serve before. You need do
W2:222.1  me. He is my Source of life, the life within, the air I breathe, the  food by which I am sustained, the water which renews and cleanses me.

foolish (58)

Tx:1.96  Only man makes this kind of mistake. It is an example of the  foolish consistency which his own false beliefs have engendered.
Tx:4.2  of affirming it and are thus dispiriting yourself. Do not embark on  foolish journeys, because they are indeed in vain. The ego may desire
Tx:4.3 The journey to the cross should be the last  foolish journey for every mind. Do not dwell upon it, but dismiss it
Tx:4.3  dismiss it as accomplished. If you can accept it as your own last  foolish journey, you are also free to join my resurrection. Human
Tx:4.3  compulsion. It reenacts the separation, the loss of power, the  foolish journey of the ego in an attempt at reparation, and finally
Tx:6.5  make it stronger. I also told you that the crucifixion was the last  foolish journey that the Sonship need take and that it should mean
Tx:11.92 The journey which the Son of God has set himself is  foolish indeed, but the journey on which his Father sets him is one
Tx:12.72 Whenever you are tempted to undertake a  foolish journey that would lead away from light, remember what you
Tx:13.60  everything. Yet see that this has been your goal and recognize how  foolish it has been. Be glad it is undone, for when you look at it in
Tx:16.7  your “miracle” for this. We once said that if a brother asks a  foolish thing of you, to do it. But be certain that this does not
Tx:16.7  of you, to do it. But be certain that this does not mean to do a  foolish thing that would hurt either him or you, for what would hurt
Tx:16.7  hurt either him or you, for what would hurt one will hurt the other.  Foolish requests are foolish for the simple reason that they conflict
Tx:16.7  for what would hurt one will hurt the other. Foolish requests are  foolish for the simple reason that they conflict because they contain
Tx:16.7  contain an element of specialness. Only the Holy Spirit recognizes  foolish needs as well as real ones. And He will teach you how to meet
Tx:16.41  and let nothing stand in the way of truth. We will take the last  foolish journey away from truth together, and then together we go
Tx:21.4 How  foolish it is to attempt to judge what could be seen instead. It is
Tx:24.66  false ideas you made because it was created not by you. Let not your  foolish fancies frighten you. What is immortal cannot be attacked;
Tx:27.19  love. And love would prove all suffering is but a vain imagining, a  foolish wish with no effects. Your health is a result of your desire
Tx:27.59  because it stands for what is past forgiveness and is true. How  foolish and insane it is to think a miracle is bound by laws which it
Tx:27.85  bring each terrible effect to Him that you may look together on its  foolish cause and laugh with Him a while. You judge effects, but He
Tx:31.42  leads away from Him. A journey from yourself does not exist. How  foolish and insane it is to think that there could be a road with
W1:41.6  of all, try to sink down and inward, away from the world and all the  foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach past all these
W1:50.4  over you like a blanket of protection and surety. Let no idle and  foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son of God.
W1:65.11  the extent to which you really want salvation in spite of your own  foolish ideas to the contrary.
W1:76.10 There are no laws but God's. Dismiss all  foolish magical beliefs today and hold your mind in silent readiness
W1:76.11 Hear Him Who tells you this, and realize how  foolish are the laws you thought upheld the world you thought you
W1:92.2  your hand, securely bound until you let it go. Yet this is no more  foolish than to believe the body's eyes can see, the brain can think.
W1:93.2  in strange ways—have been deceived, deceiving, and afraid of  foolish fantasies and savage dreams and have bowed down to idols made
W1:93.10 Then put away your  foolish self-images and spend the rest of the practice period in
W1:100.9  Look deep within you, undismayed by all the little thoughts and  foolish goals you pass as you ascend to meet the Christ in you.
W1:100.10  look on Him? What little thought has power to hold you back? What  foolish goal can keep you from success when He Who calls to you is
W1:131.10  what does not exist, while Heaven is the place he cannot find. Leave  foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to true
W1:131.11  and we will ask to see the rising of the real world to replace the  foolish images that we held dear, with true ideas arising in the
W1:134.11  to truth. They are not kept to swell and bluster and to terrify the  foolish dreamer who believes in them. He has been gently wakened from
W1:135.28  and celebrate your Eastertime with you. Throughout the day, as  foolish little things appear to raise defensiveness in you and tempt
W1:137.16  give, and to receive the Word of God to take the place of all the  foolish thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we come together to
W1:138.11  for fear to be invested there. Now it is recognized as but a  foolish, trivial mistake.
W1:139.13  holy aim. For several minutes let your mind be cleared of all the  foolish cobwebs which the world would weave around the holy Son of
W1:156.6  laughter is it gone, because its quaint absurdity is seen. It is a  foolish thought, a silly dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps,
W1:156.7 Yet you have wasted many, many years on just this  foolish thought. The past is gone with all its fantasies. They keep
W1:170.6  of fear. For love would ask you lay down all defense as merely  foolish. And your arms indeed would crumble into dust. For such they
W1:184.14  them. It is this Name we use in practicing. And through Its use, all  foolish separations disappear which kept us blind. And we are given
W1:189.6  to Which it carries us. For its simplicity avoids the snares the  foolish convolutions of the world's apparent reasoning but serve to
W1:193.4 The One Whom God created to replace the  foolish thoughts which crept into the mind of His most holy Son with
W1:196.2  to understand the truth it uses thus. But you can learn to see these  foolish applications and deny the meaning they appear to have.
W1:198.8 How  foolish to believe that They could die! How foolish to believe you
W1:198.8 How foolish to believe that They could die! How  foolish to believe you can attack! How mad to think that you could be
W1:200.3  and seek no longer what you cannot find. For what could be more  foolish than to seek and seek and seek again for hell, when you have
W2:229.2  untouched and sinless in the midst of all the thoughts of sin my  foolish mind made up. And thanks to You for saving me from them. Amen.
W2:240.2 How  foolish are our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us
W2:278.2 Father, I ask for nothing but the truth. I have had many  foolish thoughts about myself and my creation and have brought a
W2:331.1 How  foolish, Father, to believe Your Son could cause himself to suffer!
W2:346.1  find the peace which You created for Your Son, forgetting all the  foolish toys I made as I behold Your glory and my own.
W2:FL.5  understand that anger is insane, attack is mad, and vengeance merely  foolish fantasy. We have been saved from wrath because we learned we
M:4.17  teacher of God until he fully understands that defenses are but the  foolish guardians of mad illusions. The more grotesque the dream, the
M:15.4  meet with lack of appreciation and even contempt, give up these  foolish thoughts. They are too small and meaningless to occupy your
M:16.6  of protecting illusions. And it is this you fear, and only this. How  foolish to be so afraid of nothing! Nothing at all! Your defenses
M:29.7  not wait, for waiting implies time and He is timeless. Forget your  foolish images, your sense of frailty and your fear of harm, your

W1:41.2 The idea for today has the power to end all this  foolishness forever. And foolishness it is, despite the serious and
W1:41.2  for today has the power to end all this foolishness forever. And  foolishness it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may take.
W1:153.8  our true purpose is to save the world, and we would not exchange for  foolishness the endless joy our function offers us. We would not let
W1:154.1  be neither arrogant nor falsely humble. We have gone beyond such  foolishness. We cannot judge ourselves, nor need we do so. These are
W1:190.4 Peace to such  foolishness! The time has come to laugh at such insane ideas. There
W1:196.6  anyone who thinks this thought is true. And he will not perceive its  foolishness nor even see that it is there so that it would be
W2:242.1  the world. And so to try to lead my life alone must be but  foolishness. For there is One Who knows all that is best for me. And

footprints (2)

Tx:26.83  thoughts of sin and keep the light where it has entered in. Your  footprints lighten up the world, for where you walk forgiveness

Tx:18.28  with all the power of the Holy Spirit's will. No little, faltering  footsteps that you may take can separate your desire from His Will
W1:107.9  of certainty that has been born of truth. The shaky and unsteady  footsteps of illusion is not our approach today. We are as certain of
W1:R3.13  gains so great that we begin again on solid ground, with firmer  footsteps and with stronger faith.
W1:123.4  in Him. Today we smile on everyone we see and walk with lightened  footsteps as we go to do what is appointed us to do. We do not go
W1:134.14  with our reality in freedom and in peace. Our practicing becomes the  footsteps lightening up the way for all our brothers, who will follow
W1:153.18  never cease to think of Him and hear His loving Voice guiding your  footsteps into quiet ways where you will walk in true
W1:155.5  Thus can you serve them while you serve yourself and set their  footsteps on the way which God has opened up to you, and them through

Tx:19.12  But through the eyes of faith, the Son of God is seen already  forgiven, free of all the guilt he laid upon himself. Faith sees him
Tx:19.56 I am made welcome in the state of grace, which means you have at last  forgiven me. For I became the symbol of your sin, and so I had to die
Tx:20.8 I have great need for lilies, for the Son of God has not  forgiven me. And can I offer him forgiveness when he offers thorns to

Tx:24.26 Forgiveness is the end of specialness. Only illusions can be  forgiven, and then they disappear. Forgiveness is release from all
Tx:24.26  that he gave it so. And thus his secret guilt would disappear,  forgiven by himself.

Tx:25.47  he learns the gift was given to himself, and so they must be one.  Forgiveness is the only function meaningful in time. It is the means
Tx:25.47  Holy Spirit uses to translate specialness from sin into salvation.  Forgiveness is for all. But when it rests on all, it is complete and
Tx:25.85  can never be received because another could receive it not. Only  forgiveness offers miracles. And pardon must be just to everyone.
Tx:25.86  with vengeance justified and mercy lost, condemns you as unworthy of  forgiveness. The unforgiven have no mercy to bestow upon another.
Tx:25.86  upon another. That is why your sole responsibility must be to take  forgiveness for yourself. The miracle that you receive, you give.
Tx:26.25  Forgiveness is this world's equivalent of Heaven's justice. It
Tx:26.25  total lack of limits lies. Nothing in boundless love could need  forgiveness. And what is charity within the world gives way to simple
Tx:26.25  believed in sin and still believes that he has much to be forgiven.  Forgiveness thus becomes the means by which he learns he has done
Tx:26.25  becomes the means by which he learns he has done nothing to forgive.  Forgiveness always rests upon the one who offers it until he sees
Tx:26.25  And thus is he returned to his real function of creating, which his  forgiveness offers him again.
Tx:26.26  Forgiveness turns the world of sin into a world of glory, wonderful

Tx:26.53  Son where sin was thought to rule. Perhaps you do not see the role  forgiveness plays in ending death and all beliefs that rise from
Tx:26.54  this symbol represents is but your wish to be apart and separate.  Forgiveness takes away what stands between your brother and yourself.
Tx:26.56  the world you see with Heaven, wholly perfect and complete. What is  forgiveness but a willingness that truth be true? What can remain
Tx:26.64  laid, for healing is not needed where there is no pain or suffering.  Forgiveness is the answer to attack of any kind. So is attack
Tx:26.69  separate. From this perception you cannot conceive of gaining what  forgiveness offers now. The interval you think lies in between the
Tx:26.70  a little space between you still, you want a little time in which  forgiveness is withheld a little while. This makes the interval
Tx:26.70  a little while. This makes the interval between the time in which  forgiveness is withheld and given seem dangerous, with terror
Tx:26.83  entered in. Your footprints lighten up the world, for where you walk  forgiveness gladly goes with you. No one on earth but offers thanks
Tx:27.6  tear is wiped away in laughter and in love. And he will look on his  forgiveness there and with healed eyes will look beyond it to the
Tx:27.14  consequences must be real because what it has done is there to see.  Forgiveness is not pity which but seeks to pardon what it knows to be
Tx:27.14  what it knows to be the truth. Good cannot be returned for evil, for  forgiveness does not first establish sin and then forgive it. Who can
Tx:27.15  their brothers and themselves as well. For no one in whom true  forgiveness reigns can suffer. He holds not the proof of sin before
Tx:27.15  And thus he must have overlooked it and removed it from his own.  Forgiveness cannot be for one and not the other. Who forgives is
Tx:27.16  Forgiveness is not real unless it brings a healing to your brother
Tx:27.16  unless his sins have no effect to warrant guilt? Sins are beyond  forgiveness just because they would entail effects which cannot be
Tx:27.17  speak with power greater than a thousand tongues. For here is his  forgiveness proved to him. A miracle can offer nothing less to him
Tx:27.22  of guilt. If you assume correction's role, you lose the function of  forgiveness. No one can forgive until he learns correction is but to
Tx:27.28 Correction must be left to One Who knows correction and  forgiveness are the same. With half a mind, this is not understood.
Tx:27.33  Reality is ultimately known without a form, unpictured and unseen.  Forgiveness is not yet a power known as wholly free of limits. Yet it
Tx:27.33  free of limits. Yet it sets no limits you have chosen to impose.  Forgiveness is the means by which the truth is represented
Tx:27.34  will ultimately take the place of every learning aid will merely be.  Forgiveness vanishes and symbols fade, and nothing which the eyes
Tx:27.35  Yet no other kind can be at all. Give welcome to the Power beyond  forgiveness and beyond the world of symbols and of limitations. He

Tx:29.23  be lifted from your mind. When light has come to him through your  forgiveness, he will not forget his savior, leaving him unsaved. For
Tx:29.35 If you but knew the glorious goal that lies beyond  forgiveness, you would not keep hold on any thought, however light
Tx:29.38  and misery and pain? These questions are the same in different form.  Forgiveness is your peace, for herein lies the end of separation and
Tx:29.39  appointed not his destiny nor set the hour of his birth and death.  Forgiveness will not change him. Yet time waits upon forgiveness that
Tx:29.39  and death. Forgiveness will not change him. Yet time waits upon  forgiveness that the things of time may disappear because they have
Tx:29.41  set in time and change that time might be preserved, excepting one.  Forgiveness does not aim at keeping time but at its ending when it
Tx:29.42  as what you see it for. How lovely is the world whose purpose is  forgiveness of God's Son! How free from fear, how filled with
Tx:29.68  remembers, though he has not heard it since before all time began.  Forgiveness, once complete, brings timelessness so close the song of

Tx:30.57  state of mind in which the only purpose of the world is seen to be  forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, and the escape from guilt becomes
Tx:30.57  its goal, and the escape from guilt becomes its aim. The value of  forgiveness is perceived and takes the place of idols which are
Tx:30.59 Not yet is Heaven quite remembered, for the purpose of  forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone is certain he will go beyond
Tx:30.59  forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone is certain he will go beyond  forgiveness, and he but remains until it is made perfect in himself.
Tx:30.59  go with him. For thus is he made ready for the step in which is all  forgiveness left behind.
Tx:30.60  creation and eternity. But fear is gone because its purpose is  forgiveness, not idolatry. And so is Heaven's Son prepared to be
Tx:30.62  And all that stood between your image of yourself and what you are,  forgiveness washes joyfully away. Yet God need not create His Son
Tx:30.63  For He must be unremembered till His Son has reached beyond  forgiveness to the love of God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted
Tx:30.70  real world given in exchange for dreams of terror. For it is on this  forgiveness rests and is but natural. You are not asked to offer
Tx:30.71  you would be asked to sacrifice your rights when you return  forgiveness for attack. But you are merely asked to see forgiveness
Tx:30.71  you return forgiveness for attack. But you are merely asked to see  forgiveness as the natural reaction to distress which rests on error
Tx:30.71  reaction to distress which rests on error and thus calls for help.  Forgiveness is the only sane response. It keeps your rights from
Tx:30.72  have none. The real world is achieved when you perceive the basis of  forgiveness is quite real and fully justified. While you regard it as
Tx:30.72  it must uphold the guilt you would “forgive.” Unjustified  forgiveness is attack. And this is all the world can ever give. It
Tx:30.72  remains aware that they have sinned. And so they do not merit the  forgiveness that it gives.
Tx:30.73 This is the false  forgiveness which the world employs to keep the sense of sin alive.
Tx:30.73  itself. If you can see your brother merits pardon, you have learned  forgiveness is your right as much as his. Nor will you think that God
Tx:30.74  Forgiveness recognized as merited will heal. It gives the miracle its

Tx:30.75  than a belief there are some forms of sickness and of joylessness  forgiveness cannot heal. This means that you prefer to keep some
Tx:30.75  are harder to look past than others are. It always means you think  forgiveness must be limited. And you have set a goal of partial
Tx:30.75  a limited escape from guilt for you. What can this be except a false  forgiveness of yourself and everyone who seems apart from you?
Tx:30.77  what is whole can have no missing parts that have been kept outside.  Forgiveness rests on recognizing this and being glad there cannot be
Tx:30.88  lets us speak to all our brothers and to understand with them  forgiveness has been given to us all, and thus we can communicate
Tx:31.5  skill the Holy Spirit sees in all the world. His simple lessons in  forgiveness have a power mightier than yours because they call from
Tx:31.17  death. But if he calls for death or calls for life, for hate or for  forgiveness and for help, is not the same in outcome. Hear the one,

W1:64.4 The world's salvation awaits your  forgiveness, because through it does the Son of God escape from all

W1:82.2  by which the light of the world finds expression through me. My  forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the
W1:82.2  means by which I become aware of the light of the world in me. My  forgiveness is the means by which the world is healed, together with

W1:90.2  is a miracle. And I invite the solution to come to me through my  forgiveness of the grievance and my welcome of the miracle which
W1:92.6  may bring to all the miracle in which they will unite in purpose and  forgiveness and in love.
W1:92.7 Weakness, which looks in darkness, cannot see a purpose in  forgiveness and in love. It sees all others different from itself and
W1:99.1 Salvation and  forgiveness are the same. They both imply that something has gone
W1:99.2  for both have happened. The impossible becomes the thing you need  forgiveness for, salvation from. Salvation is the borderland between
W1:99.13 Salvation is my only function here. Salvation and  forgiveness are the same.
W1:99.15  that is not of God. Forgive yourself the one you think you made.  Forgiveness and salvation are the same. Forgive what you have made,
W1:99.20 Thus do you lay  forgiveness on your mind and let all fear be gently laid aside that
W1:121.4  parody of life. It wants to live, yet wishes it were dead. It wants  forgiveness, yet it sees no hope. It wants escape, yet can conceive
W1:121.6  Forgiveness is acquired. It is not inherent in a mind which cannot
W1:121.6  in a mind which cannot sin. As sin was an idea you taught yourself,  forgiveness must be learned by you as well, but from a Teacher other
W1:121.7  do you become your own. The unforgiving mind must learn through your  forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. And as you teach
W1:121.8  in the morning and at night another ten to learning how to give  forgiveness and receive forgiveness too.
W1:121.8  at night another ten to learning how to give forgiveness and receive  forgiveness too.
W1:121.13 Do not forget throughout the day the role  forgiveness plays in bringing happiness to every unforgiving mind,
W1:121.14  Forgiveness is the key to happiness. I will awaken from the dream
W1:122.1 What could you want  forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do
W1:122.1 What could you want forgiveness cannot give? Do you want peace?  Forgiveness offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a
W1:122.2 All this  forgiveness offers you, and more. It sparkles in your eyes as you
W1:122.2  again, it offers you another day of happiness and peace. All this  forgiveness offers you, and more.
W1:122.3  Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up which hides the face of Christ
W1:122.4 What would you want  forgiveness cannot give? What gifts but these are worthy to be
W1:122.4  or transient promise never to be kept can hold more hope than what  forgiveness brings? Why would you seek an answer other than the
W1:122.8  your eyes today, and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace.  Forgiveness is the means by which it comes to take the place of hell.
W1:122.8  What you will remember then can never be described. Yet your  forgiveness offers it to you.
W1:122.9 Remembering the gifts  forgiveness gives, we undertake our practicing today with hope and
W1:122.11  of the answer brings. Today it will be given you to feel the peace  forgiveness offers and the joy the lifting of the veil holds out to

W1:122.15  Forgiveness offers everything I want. Today I have accepted this as
W1:126.1  you believed this statement, there would be no problem in complete  forgiveness, certainty of goal, and sure direction. You would
W1:126.3  him beneath a true equality with you. He has no claim on your  forgiveness. It holds out a gift to him but hardly to yourself.
W1:126.4 Thus is  forgiveness basically unsound—a charitable whim, benevolent yet
W1:126.5 If this be true,  forgiveness has no grounds on which to rest dependably and sure. It
W1:126.6 You do not understand  forgiveness. As you see it, it is but a check upon overt attack,
W1:126.7  as worthy of His Son? Salvation is a better gift than this, and true  forgiveness, as the means by which it is attained, must heal the mind
W1:126.9  the attempt to understand today's idea. It is the thought by which  forgiveness takes its proper place in your priorities. It is the
W1:126.9  It is the thought that will release your mind from every bar to what  forgiveness means and let you realize its worth to you.
W1:126.10 In silence close your eyes upon the world which does not understand  forgiveness and seek sanctuary in the quiet place where thoughts are
W1:134.1  and undeserved, and a complete denial of the truth. In such a view,  forgiveness must be seen as mere eccentric folly, and this course
W1:134.2 This twisted view of what  forgiveness means is easily corrected when you can accept the fact
W1:134.3 The major difficulty that you find in genuine  forgiveness on your part is that you still believe you must forgive
W1:134.4  For it is impossible to think of sin as true and not believe  forgiveness is a lie. Thus is forgiveness really but a sin, like all
W1:134.4  think of sin as true and not believe forgiveness is a lie. Thus is  forgiveness really but a sin, like all the rest. It says the truth is
W1:134.6 It is sin's unreality that makes  forgiveness natural and wholly sane, a deep relief to those who offer
W1:134.7  Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions
W1:134.9 Now are you free to follow in the way your true  forgiveness opens up to you. For if one brother has received this
W1:134.9  to yourself. There is a very simple way to find the door to true  forgiveness and perceive it open wide in welcome. When you feel that
W1:134.10  which would condemn. In truth is innocence the only thing there is.  Forgiveness stands between illusions and the truth, between the world
W1:134.13  Forgiveness must be practiced, for the world cannot perceive its
W1:134.14 Today we practice true  forgiveness that the time of joining be no more delayed. For we would
W1:134.15  today and spend it with the Guide Who understands the meaning of  forgiveness and was sent to us to teach it. Let us ask of Him:
W1:134.16 Let me perceive  forgiveness as it is.
W1:134.19  Forgiveness should be practiced through the day, for there will be so
W1:134.20 Let me perceive  forgiveness as it is. Should I accuse myself of doing this? I will
W1:137.5  of sickness in the name of truth but not in truth itself. Just as  forgiveness overlooks all sins that never were accomplished, healing
W1:137.7 Just as  forgiveness shines away all sin and the real world will occupy the
W1:137.9 Healing,  forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the world of sorrow for a
W1:140.3  of the world, where one can merely dream he is awake. The dreams  forgiveness lets the mind perceive do not induce another form of
W1:R4.4  his mind no thoughts can dwell but those his Father shares. Lack of  forgiveness blocks this thought from his awareness. Yet it is forever
W1:R4.5  with some understanding of the many forms in which the lack of true  forgiveness may be carefully concealed. Because they are illusions,
W1:141.1 [121]  Forgiveness is the key to happiness.
W1:141.2 [122]  Forgiveness offers everything I want.
W1:147.2 [134] Let me perceive  forgiveness as it is.
W1:158.6  the intangible. Here is a quiet place within the world made holy by  forgiveness and by love. Here are all contradictions reconciled, for
W1:158.9  for Christ has vision which has power to overlook them all. In His  forgiveness, they are gone. Unseen by One, they merely disappear
W1:159.2 You understand that you are healed when you give healing. You accept  forgiveness as accomplished in yourself when you forgive. You
W1:159.5  you safely trust to carry you from this world into one made holy by  forgiveness. Things which seem quite solid here are merely shadows
W1:159.8 Christ's vision is the holy ground in which the lilies of  forgiveness set their roots. This is their home. They can be brought
W1:168.4  Heaven be delayed an instant longer? What remains undone when your  forgiveness rests on everything?
W1:169.6  be conceived. It lies beyond salvation—past all thought of time,  forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ. The Son of God has merely
W1:169.7 This is beyond experience we try to hasten. Yet  forgiveness, taught and learned, brings with it the experiences which
W1:169.7  in that what you will offer was concealed from Him Who teaches what  forgiveness means. All learning was already in His Mind, accomplished
W1:169.10  each uncertain heart that does not beat as yet in tune with God.  Forgiveness is the central theme which runs throughout salvation,
W1:186.14  never can deceive, although they come from Formlessness Itself.  Forgiveness is an earthly form of love which as it is in Heaven has
W1:189.3  at all. The other one is wholly meaningless. A world in which  forgiveness shines on everything and peace offers its gentle light to
W1:190.7  Your thoughts of death envelop it in fear, while in your kind  forgiveness does it live.
W1:191.10  lost, to save the helpless, and to give the world the gift of his  forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark and sinful when God's
W1:192.2  Forgiveness represents your function here. It is not God's creation,
W1:192.3  cannot even be conceived of in the world. It has no meaning here.  Forgiveness is the closest it can come to earth. For being
W1:192.4  Forgiveness gently looks upon all things unknown in Heaven, sees them
W1:192.4  of God can now replace the senseless symbols written there before.  Forgiveness is the means by which the fear of death is overcome
W1:192.5  Forgiveness lets the body be perceived as what it is—a simple
W1:192.6 Only  forgiveness can relieve the mind of thinking that the body is its
W1:192.6  can relieve the mind of thinking that the body is its home. Only  forgiveness can restore the peace that God intended for His holy Son.
W1:192.6  can restore the peace that God intended for His holy Son. Only  forgiveness can persuade the Son to look again upon his holiness.
W1:192.7  But we have indeed been given everything by God. Yet do we need  forgiveness to perceive that this is so. Without its kindly light we
W1:193.3 God offers no  forgiveness, for He knows no sin is possible. And yet He let His holy
W1:193.4  He redirects each lesson you would teach in hate to one in which  forgiveness enters, and returns the hate to love, so that the fear is
W1:193.16  time today, and in the days to come, in practicing the lesson in  forgiveness in the form established for the day. And try to give it
W1:195.8  yet retain some other things still locked away as sins. When your  forgiveness is complete, you will have total gratitude, for you will
W1:197.1  force pitted against your own. You make attempts at kindness and  forgiveness. Yet you turn them to attack again unless you find
W1:197.6  think that what is given you has been withdrawn. But learn to let  forgiveness take away the sins you think you see outside yourself,
W1:198.2  them a while as if they had. Illusion makes illusion. Except one.  Forgiveness is illusion that is answer to the rest.
W1:198.3  Forgiveness sweeps all other dreams away, and though it is itself a
W1:198.3  one must multiply a thousand fold. But this is where illusions end.  Forgiveness is the end of dreams because it is a dream of waking. It
W1:198.4  Forgiveness is the only road that leads out of disaster, past all
W1:198.8  like these, and unaware of any condemnation which could need  forgiveness. Dreams of any kind are strange and alien to the truth.
W1:198.10 Only my condemnation injures me. Only my own  forgiveness sets me free.

W1:200.6 What does  forgiveness do? In truth it has no function and does nothing, for it
W2:WF.1  Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has
W2:WF.1  your sins forgiven. What is sin except a false idea about God's Son?  Forgiveness merely sees its falsity and therefore lets it go. What

W2:WIW.1  When the thought of separation has been changed to one of true  forgiveness will the world be seen in quite another light, and one

W2:249.1  Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss
W2:256.1 The way to God is through  forgiveness here. There is no other way. If sin had not been
W2:256.1  and it is this we choose to dream today. God is our goal;  forgiveness is the means by which our minds return to Him at last.
W2:257.2 Father,  forgiveness is Your chosen means for our salvation. Let us not forget
W2:267.1  thought. Peace fills my heart and floods my body with the purpose of  forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the world
W2:WIC.4  the final dream which God appointed as the end of dreams. For when  forgiveness rests upon the world and peace has come to every Son of
W2:WIHS.1  and sounds forever laid aside. And where they were perceived before,  forgiveness has made possible perception's tranquil end.
W2:WIHS.4  where He has been placed by God, the Holy Spirit calls to you to let  forgiveness rest upon your dreams and be restored to sanity and peace
W2:WIHS.4  your dreams and be restored to sanity and peace of mind. Without  forgiveness will your dreams remain to terrify you. And the memory of
W2:283.2  to all things, uniting lovingly with all the world, which our  forgiveness has made one with us.
W2:285.2 Father, my holiness is Yours. Let me rejoice in it and through  forgiveness be restored to sanity. Your Son is still as You created

W2:291.2  Father, lead Your Son along the quiet path that ends in You. Let my  forgiveness be complete, and let the memory of You return to me.
W2:297.1  Forgiveness is the only gift I give because it is the only gift I
W2:298.1  I restored to my reality at last. All that intruded on my holy sight  forgiveness takes away. And I draw near the end of senseless
W2:WISC.1  to God's Word to take illusion's place, the willingness to let  forgiveness rest upon all things without exception and without
W2:WISC.2  the Second Coming brings, as God's creation must be limitless.  Forgiveness lights the Second Coming's way because it shines on

W2:332.1  is the mind in chains, believing in its own futility. Yet with  forgiveness does the light shine through the dream of darkness,
W2:333.2 Father,  forgiveness is the light You chose to shine away all conflict and all

Tx:22.32 Only the  form of error attracts the ego. Meaning it does not recognize and
Tx:22.32  that the whole would give. And yet mistakes, regardless of their  form, can be corrected. Sin is but error in a special form the ego
Tx:22.32  of their form, can be corrected. Sin is but error in a special  form the ego venerates. It would preserve all errors and make them
Tx:22.33 Reason will tell you that the  form of error is not what makes it a mistake. If what the form

Tx:22.35  have different forms, and so they can deceive. You can change  form because it is not true. It could not be reality, because it can
Tx:22.35  be reality, because it can be changed. Reason will tell you that, if  form is not reality, it must be an illusion and is not there to see.
Tx:22.36 Let not the  form of his mistakes keep you from him whose holiness is yours. Let
Tx:22.54  holy relationship has the power to heal all pain, regardless of its  form. Neither of you alone can serve at all. Only in your joint will
Tx:22.55 Before a holy relationship there is no sin. The  form of error is no longer seen, and reason, joined with love, looks
Tx:22.57  hidden what mistake can there be anywhere you cannot overlook? What  form of suffering could block your sight, preventing you from seeing
Tx:22.62  believe attack of any kind means anything. It is unjustified in any  form because it has no meaning. The only way it could be justified is
Tx:23.12  from each other. Both are not true. And so it matters not what  form they take. What made them is insane, and they remain part of
Tx:23.17  forms are different. And they do battle only to establish which  form is true.
Tx:23.34  No law of chaos could compel belief but for the emphasis on  form and disregard of content. No one who thinks that one of them is
Tx:23.35 How can some forms of murder not mean death? Can an attack in any  form be love? What form of condemnation is a blessing? Who makes his
Tx:23.35  of murder not mean death? Can an attack in any form be love? What  form of condemnation is a blessing? Who makes his savior powerless
Tx:23.35  Who makes his savior powerless and finds salvation? Let not the  form of the attack on him deceive you. You cannot seek to harm him
Tx:23.35  safety from attack by turning on himself? How can it matter what the  form this madness takes? It is a judgment that defeats itself,
Tx:23.35  what it says it wants to save. Be not deceived when madness takes a  form you think is lovely. What is intent on your destruction is not
Tx:23.36  Brothers, you do believe them. For how else could you perceive the  form they take with content such as this? Can any form of this be
Tx:23.36  you perceive the form they take with content such as this? Can any  form of this be tenable? Yet you believe them for the form they take
Tx:23.36  this? Can any form of this be tenable? Yet you believe them for the  form they take and do not recognize the content. It never changes.
Tx:23.38  bring fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not for their  form. And lack of faith in love in any form attests to chaos as
Tx:23.38  they imply, not for their form. And lack of faith in love in any  form attests to chaos as reality.
Tx:23.39  do follow neatly from their starting point. Each is a different  form in the progression of truth's reversal, leading still deeper
Tx:23.40  the rest for what they are. And they will follow. Attack in any  form has placed your foot upon the twisted stairway that leads from
Tx:23.41  some of the forms attack can take? If it is true attack in any  form will hurt you and will do so just as much as in another form
Tx:23.41  in any form will hurt you and will do so just as much as in another  form which you do recognize, then it must follow that you do not
Tx:23.41  that you do not always recognize the source of pain. Attack in any  form is equally destructive. Its purpose does not change. Its sole
Tx:23.41  Its purpose does not change. Its sole intent is murder, and what  form of murder serves to cover the massive guilt and frantic fear of
Tx:23.41  guilt the thought entails. If the intent is death, what matter the  form it takes?
Tx:23.42 Is death in any  form, however lovely and charitable it may seem to be, a blessing and
Tx:23.44  Would you not want to recognize assault upon your peace in any  form, if only thus does it become impossible that you lose sight of
Tx:23.46  and the unnatural intent to murder and to die. Think you the  form that murder takes can offer safety? Can guilt be absent from a
Tx:23.47  only place of safety. In Him is no attack, and no illusion in any  form stalks Heaven. Heaven is wholly true. No difference enters, and
Tx:23.47  fight against your wish to murder. But you are asked to realize the  form it takes conceals the same intent. And it is this you fear and
Tx:23.47  takes conceals the same intent. And it is this you fear and not the  form. What is not love is murder. What is not loving must be an
Tx:23.50  complete as yet, and so it cannot be extended to all creation. Each  form of murder and attack that still attracts you and that you do not
Tx:23.50  in it no more. This is your part—to realize that murder in any  form is not your will. The overlooking of the battleground is now
Tx:24.27 Whatever  form of specialness you cherish, you have made sin. Inviolate it
Tx:24.41 There is no dream of specialness—however hidden or disguised the  form; however lovely it may seem to be; however much it delicately
Tx:25.15  it is gone within your mind to darken what is there. Take not the  form for content, for the form is but a means for content. And the
Tx:25.15  mind to darken what is there. Take not the form for content, for the  form is but a means for content. And the frame is but a means to hold
Tx:25.23  from this, to hold it up and offer it support. This is perception's  form adapted to this world of God's more basic law that love creates
Tx:25.26  the law itself upholds the universe as God created it, but in some  form adapted to the need the Son of God believes he has. Corrected
Tx:25.36  state nor time. Nothing beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any  form. This can you bring to all the world and all the thoughts that
Tx:25.39  Nor do you hear his plaintive call, unchanged in content in whatever  form the call is made, that you unite with him and join with him in
Tx:25.47 Here, where the laws of God do not prevail in perfect  form, can he yet do one perfect thing and make one perfect choice.
Tx:25.48  it, he made it for himself. His wish was not denied but changed in  form to let it serve his brother and himself and thus become a means
Tx:25.53  Son. This you believe. Think not that this belief depends upon the  form it takes. Who thinks the world is sane in any way, is justified
Tx:25.53  any way, is justified in anything it thinks, or is maintained by any  form of reason believes this to be true. Sin is not real because the
Tx:25.56 Your special function is the special  form in which the fact that God is not insane appears most sensible
Tx:25.56  most sensible and meaningful to you. The content is the same. The  form is suited to your special needs and to the special time and
Tx:25.56  God did not will. Yet if His Will is seen as madness, then the  form of sanity which makes it most acceptable to those who are insane
Tx:25.57  chose insanity as his salvation. To this One is given the choice of  form most suitable to him; one which will not attack the world he
Tx:25.58 Now must he question this because the  form of the alternative is one which he cannot deny nor overlook nor
Tx:25.60  were true, then God is mad indeed! But what is this belief except a  form of the more basic tenet, “Sin is real and rules the world”? For
Tx:25.66  should lack for what another has. For that is vengeance in whatever  form it takes. Justice demands no sacrifice, for any sacrifice is
Tx:26.10  approach. The aspects which need solving do not change, whatever  form the problem seems to take. A problem can appear in many forms,
Tx:26.10  lasts. It serves no purpose to attempt to solve it in a special  form. It will recur and then recur again and yet again until it has
Tx:26.10  it has been answered for all time and will not rise again in any  form. And only then are you released from it.
Tx:26.11  have. They are the same to Him because each one, regardless of the  form it seems to take, is a demand that someone suffer loss and make
Tx:26.12 This one mistake in any  form has one correction. There is no loss; to think there is, is a
Tx:26.16  for all your problems. You will not keep one, for pain in any  form you will not want. And you will see each little hurt resolved
Tx:26.61  in its effects as is the whole idea of sacrifice. If loss in any  form is possible, then is God's Son made incomplete and not himself.
Tx:26.62  were made another purpose that would justify a miracle, whatever  form they took. In every miracle all healing lies, for God gave
Tx:26.70  its purpose is made yours and its effects will come to you. In this  form is the error still obscured that is the source of fear.
Tx:26.73  from God. And yet it seems as if this is not so. Good in disaster's  form is difficult to credit in advance. Nor is there really sense in
Tx:26.74 Why should the good appear in evil's  form? And is it not deception if it does? Its cause is here if it
Tx:26.74  disaster strikes, to be perceived as “good” some day but now in  form of pain. This is a sacrifice of now, which could not be the cost
Tx:26.75  mind. And this illusion is but one effect which it engenders and one  form in which its outcome is perceived. This interval in time, when
Tx:26.75  This interval in time, when retribution is perceived to be the  form in which the “good” appears, is but one aspect of the little
Tx:26.76  you have cause for freedom now. What profits freedom in a prisoner's  form? Why should deliverance be disguised as death? Delay is
Tx:26.76  And do not let it be disguised as time and so preserved because its  form is changed and what it is cannot be recognized. The Holy
Tx:26.85  If it occurs at all, it will be total. And its presence, in whatever  form, will hide Their Presence. They are known with clarity or not at
Tx:26.87  You cannot be unfairly treated. The belief you are is but another  form of the idea you are deprived by someone not yourself. Projection
Tx:27.5 Sickness is but a “little” death; a  form of vengeance not yet total. Yet it speaks with certainty for
Tx:27.7  paint the picture in which sin is justified, is sickness in whatever  form it takes.
Tx:27.33  is no symbol for totality. Reality is ultimately known without a  form, unpictured and unseen. Forgiveness is not yet a power known as

Tx:27.86  but this: that you are doing this unto yourself. No matter what the  form of the attack, this still is true. Whoever takes the role of

Tx:27.87  teach you but the single cause of all of them, no matter what their  form. And you will understand that miracles reflect the simple
Tx:28.31  The gap is little. Yet it holds the seeds of pestilence and every  form of ill because it is a wish to keep apart and not to join. And
Tx:28.38  right here and now. Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams whatever  form they take, for you will lose identity in them. You find yourself
Tx:28.63  of sickness are immune because the choice cannot be made in terms of  form. The choice of sickness seems to be a form, yet it is one, as is
Tx:28.63  be made in terms of form. The choice of sickness seems to be a  form, yet it is one, as is its opposite. And you are sick or well
Tx:29.26  is seen. For every dream is but a dream of fear, no matter what the  form it seems to take. The fear is seen within, without, or both. Or
Tx:29.26  is seen within, without, or both. Or it can be disguised in pleasant  form. But never is it absent from the dream, for fear is the material
Tx:29.26  fear is the material of dreams from which they all are made. Their  form can change, but they cannot be made of something else. The
Tx:29.27 In simplest  form it can be said attack is a response to function unfulfilled as
Tx:29.30  love. For at its center is His love for you, which lights whatever  form it takes with love.
Tx:29.36  it was made for hate and will continue in death's services. Each  form it takes in some way calls for death. And those who serve the

Tx:29.47  living form. Yet each must fail and crumble and decay because a  form of death cannot be life, and what is sacrificed cannot be whole.
Tx:29.52  he is. Idols are made that he may be replaced, no matter what their  form. And it is this which never is perceived and recognized. Be it a
Tx:29.53 Let not their  form deceive you. Idols are but substitutes for your reality. In some
Tx:29.54 An idol is a false impression or a false belief—some  form of anti-Christ which constitutes a gap between the Christ and
Tx:29.54  Christ and what you see. An idol is a wish made tangible and given  form and thus perceived as real and seen outside the mind. Yet it is
Tx:29.54  a thought and cannot leave the mind that is its source. Nor is its  form apart from the idea it represents. All forms of anti-Christ
Tx:29.55  one blade of grass from something living to a sign of death. Its  form is nowhere, for its source abides within your mind, where God
Tx:29.55  and to quail in fear. Christ's enemy is nowhere. He can take no  form in which he ever will be real.
Tx:29.57  has been set by the idea this power and place and time are given  form and shape the world where the impossible has happened. Here the
Tx:29.69 Whenever you feel fear in any  form—and you are fearful if you do not feel a deep content, a
Tx:30.2  with a little practice with the ones you recognize, a set begins to  form which sees you through the rest. It is not wise to let yourself
Tx:30.31  permits all things to happen. Nothing can be caused without some  form of union, be it with a dream of judgment or the Voice for God.
Tx:30.38  But your will is universal, being limitless. And so it has no  form nor is content for its expression in the terms of form. Idols
Tx:30.38  so it has no form nor is content for its expression in the terms of  form. Idols are limits. They are the belief that there are forms
Tx:30.39 It is not  form you seek. What form can be a substitute for God the Father's
Tx:30.39 It is not form you seek. What  form can be a substitute for God the Father's love? What form can
Tx:30.39  seek. What form can be a substitute for God the Father's love? What  form can take the place of all the love in the divinity of God the
Tx:30.39  will not bestow on you the gift you seek. When you decide upon the  form of what you want, you lose the understanding of its purpose. So
Tx:30.39  So you see your will within the idol, thus reducing it to a specific  form. Yet this could never be your will because what shares in all
Tx:30.40  for every idol lies the yearning for completion. Wholeness has no  form because it is unlimited. To seek a special person or a thing to
Tx:30.40  to you to make yourself complete can only mean that you believe some  form is missing. And by finding this, you will achieve completion in
Tx:30.40  is missing. And by finding this, you will achieve completion in a  form you like. This is the purpose of an idol—that you will not
Tx:30.41  is but God's Will, and this is given you by being His. God knows not  form. He cannot answer you in terms which have no meaning. And your
Tx:30.42  If there were change in him, if he could be reduced to any  form and limited to what is not in him, he would not be as God
Tx:30.42  really asked for cannot be denied. Your will is granted. Not in any  form that would content you not, but in the whole completely lovely
Tx:30.53  they are appearances and not reality. Dwell not on them in any  form. They but obscure reality, and they bring fear because they hide
Tx:30.58  there, for guilt is understood as the sole cause of pain in any  form. No one is tempted by its vain appeal, for suffering and death
Tx:30.74  There would be an error that is more than a mistake—a special  form of error which remains unchangeable, eternal, and beyond
Tx:30.89  before, and now you think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to  form and capable of change. Reality is changeless. It is this that
Tx:30.89  and keeps it separate from all appearances. It must transcend all  form to be itself. It cannot change.
Tx:30.90  you perceive as his reality. The happy dream about him takes the  form of the appearance of his perfect health, his perfect freedom
Tx:30.90  The miracle is proof he is not bound by loss or suffering in any  form because it can so easily be changed. This demonstrates that it
Tx:30.93  to heal all things that change and offer them to you to see in happy  form, devoid of fear. It will be given you to look upon your brother
Tx:31.3  which you went to practice and repeat the lessons endlessly in every  form you could conceive of them could ever doubt the power of your
Tx:31.10  the dying world! You do not understand Who calls to you beyond each  form of hate, each call to war. Yet you will recognize Him as you
Tx:31.24  you want and needs the same as you. It takes perhaps a different  form in him, but it is not the form you answer to. He asks and you
Tx:31.24  as you. It takes perhaps a different form in him, but it is not the  form you answer to. He asks and you receive, for you have come with
Tx:31.26  hate your brother for his sins, but only for your own. Whatever  form his sins appear to take, it but obscures the fact that you
Tx:31.38  learning that the world can offer but one choice, no matter what its  form may be, is the beginning of acceptance that there is a real
Tx:31.69  but will not see them as meaningless. And so they come in fearful  form, with content still concealed, to shake your sorry concept of
Tx:31.79 Whatever  form temptation seems to take, it always but reflects a wish to be a

W1:5.1  as different. This is not true. However, until you learn that  form does not matter, each form becomes a proper subject for the
W1:5.1  not true. However, until you learn that form does not matter, each  form becomes a proper subject for the exercises for the day. Applying
W1:5.2  the idea for today for a specific perceived cause of an upset in any  form, use both the name of the form in which you see the upset and
W1:5.2  perceived cause of an upset in any form, use both the name of the  form in which you see the upset and the cause which you ascribe to
W1:5.9 I cannot keep this  form of upset and let the others go. For the purposes of these
W1:6.1  to the preceding ones. Again, it is necessary to name both the  form of upset (anger, fear, worry, depression, and so on) and the
W1:6.7 I cannot keep this  form of upset and let the others go. For the purposes of these
W1:10.2 This is the second time we have used this kind of idea. The  form is only slightly different. This time the idea is introduced
W1:11.1  world you see. Be glad indeed to practice the idea in this initial  form, for in this idea is your release made sure. The key to
W1:13.1 Today's idea is really another  form of the preceding one, except that it is more specific as to the
W1:13.8 You may find it difficult to avoid resistance in one  form or another to this concluding statement. Whatever form such
W1:13.8  in one form or another to this concluding statement. Whatever  form such resistance may take, remind yourself that you are really
W1:16.7  of a particular thought which arouses uneasiness. The following  form is suggested for this purpose:
W1:21.2  or anticipated, which arouse anger in you. The anger may take the  form of any reaction ranging from mild irritation to rage. The degree
W1:21.6  this aspect. If your perception of the person is suffering from this  form of distortion, say:
W1:22.4  see nothing that will last. What I see is not real. What I see is a  form of vengeance.
W1:24.5  as possible that you would like to be met in its resolution. The  form of each application should be roughly as follows:
W1:26.6  whose outcomes are causing you concern. The concern may take the  form of depression, worry, anger, a sense of imposition, fear,
W1:31.1  and the world you see within. In applying the idea, we will use a  form of practice which will be used more and more, with changes as
W1:31.1  more and more, with changes as indicated. Generally speaking, the  form includes two aspects, one in which you apply the idea on a more
W1:31.5  for today is a particularly useful one to use as a response to any  form of temptation. It is a declaration that you will not yield to it
W1:33.5  yourself several times. Closing your eyes will probably help in this  form of application.
W1:34.5  protect yourself from temptation throughout the day. If a specific  form of temptation arises in your awareness, the exercise should take
W1:34.5  temptation arises in your awareness, the exercise should take this  form:
W1:34.7 If the inroads on your peace of mind take the  form of more generalized adverse emotions, such as depression,
W1:34.7  such as depression, anxiety, or worry, use the idea in its original  form. If you find you need more than one application of today's idea
W1:35.11  the idea for today to them, adding the idea to each of them in the  form stated above. If nothing particular occurs to you, merely repeat
W1:36.2  throughout the day. The longer practice periods should take this  form:
W1:38.3  of your holiness to all problems, difficulties, or suffering in any  form that you happen to think of in yourself or someone else. We will
W1:38.4  specifically and also the name of the person concerned. Use this  form in applying the idea for today:
W1:38.9 In the frequent shorter applications, apply the idea in its original  form unless a specific problem concerning you or someone else arises
W1:38.9  else arises or comes to mind. In that event, use the more specific  form of application.
W1:39.6  Then with closed eyes search out your unloving thoughts in whatever  form they appear—uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, worry,
W1:39.6  anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity, and so on. Whatever  form they take, they are unloving and therefore fearful. And so it is
W1:39.11  free to introduce variety into your practice periods in whatever  form appeals to you. Do not, however, change the idea itself in
W1:39.12 End each practice period by repeating the idea in its original  form once more, and adding:
W1:39.14  or preferably both. If temptations arise, a particularly helpful  form of the idea is:
W1:43.12 In applying today's idea in the shorter practice periods, the  form may vary according to the circumstances and situations in which
W1:43.14 This  form is equally applicable to strangers and to those you know well.
W1:43.15  distress you in any way. For this kind of application, use this  form:
W1:43.17  itself to your awareness, merely repeat the idea in its original  form.
W1:44.3  to attempt to reach that light. For this purpose, we will use a  form of practice which has been suggested before and which we will
W1:44.3  which we will utilize increasingly. It is a particularly difficult  form for the undisciplined mind and represents a major goal of mind
W1:44.4  the time merely slipping by with little or no sense of strain. The  form of exercise we will use today is the most natural and easy one
W1:44.5  mind is no longer wholly untrained. You are quite ready to learn the  form of exercise we will use today, but you may find that you will
W1:44.5  resistance. The reason is very simple. While you practice in this  form, you leave behind everything that you now believe and all the
W1:44.8 While no particular  form of approach is advocated, what is needful is a sense of the
W1:44.9 If resistance rises in any  form, pause long enough to repeat today's idea, keeping your eyes
W1:45.4  five-minute practice periods for today will take the same general  form that we used in applying yesterday's idea. We will attempt to
W1:45.12 In using the shorter  form for applying today's idea, try to remember how important it is
W1:46.10 The  form of the applications may vary considerably, but the central idea
W1:46.13  a repetition of the idea for today in the original or in a related  form as you prefer. Be sure, however, to make more specific
W1:R1.6  purposes the ideas are not always given in quite their original  form of statement. Use them as they are given here. It is not
W1:54.4  Even the mad idea of separation had to be shared before it could  form the basis of the world I see. Yet that sharing was a sharing of
W1:55.3 [22] What I see is a  form of vengeance. The world I see is hardly the representation of
W1:64.2 Nothing the body's eyes seem to see can be anything but a  form of temptation, since this was the purpose of the body itself.
W1:64.6  Can such a simple decision really be difficult to make? Let not the  form of the decision deceive you. Complexity of form does not imply
W1:64.6  to make? Let not the form of the decision deceive you. Complexity of  form does not imply complexity of content. It is impossible that any
W1:65.12  periods, which should be undertaken at least once an hour, use this  form in applying today's idea:
W1:66.14  which would be most helpful today if undertaken twice an hour, this  form of the application is suggested:

W1:R2.2 The longer practice periods will follow this general  form: take about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking
W1:R2.3  to waver in the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever  form such thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no power.
W1:R2.5  in the shorter practice periods as well, using the original  form of the idea for general application and a more specific form

W1:101.2  and it will seek them out and find them somewhere, sometime, in some  form which evens the account they owe to God. They would escape Him

W1:121.10  despise or merely try to overlook. It does not matter what the  form your anger takes. You probably have chosen him already. He will

W1:140.1  illusion for illusion. One belief in sickness takes another  form, and so the patient now perceives himself as well.
W1:140.3  The dreams forgiveness lets the mind perceive do not induce another  form of sleep, so that the dreamer dreams another dream. His happy
W1:140.4  Sickness where guilt is absent cannot come, for it is but another  form of guilt. Atonement does not heal the sick, for that is not a

W1:186.14  form. Yet what is needed here is given here as it is needed. In this  form, you can fulfill your function even here, although what love
W1:187.2  give ideas away, you strengthen them in your own mind. Perhaps the  form in which the thought seems to appear is changed in giving. Yet
W1:187.2  changed in giving. Yet it must return to him who gives. Nor can the  form it takes be less acceptable. It must be more.
W1:187.4  thought you did not have is thereby proven yours. Yet value not its  form. For this will change and grow unrecognizable in time, however

W1:187.9  look. The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of  form and leave instead the perfect gift forever there, forever to
W1:187.11  everything we see. For where we see it, it will be returned to us in  form of lilies we can lay upon our altar, making it a home for

W1:192.3  form at all. Yet God created One Who has the power to translate into  form the wholly formless. What He makes are dreams, but of a kind so
W1:193.3  no sin is possible. And yet He let His holy law of Love be given  form in which it could be offered to the world. And He created One

W1:198.11 Do not forget today that there can be no  form of suffering that fails to hide an unforgiving thought. Nor can

Tx:1.106 Fantasies of any kind are distorted  forms of thinking, because they always involve twisting perception

Tx:3.5  what has been created and what is being created is essential. All  forms of correction (or healing) rest on this fundamental correction
Tx:3.14  give this one up because of its prominent “escape” value. In milder  forms a parent says, “This hurts me more than it hurts you,” and

Tx:15.95  by which it burrows underground and hides in darkness, to emerge in  forms quite different from what it is. Yet it is necessary to examine
Tx:18.3  both a fragmented and a fragmenting emotion. It seems to take many  forms, and each seems to require a different form of acting out for
Tx:18.4  that God is fear made but one substitution. It has taken many  forms because it was the substitution of illusion for truth, of
Tx:18.19  in dreaming. Your sleeping and your waking dreams have different  forms, and that is all. Their content is the same. They are your
Tx:18.25  shrinking from the truth, sometimes retreating to the lesser  forms of fear and sometimes to stark terror. But you will advance

Tx:23.35 How can some  forms of murder not mean death? Can an attack in any form be love?
Tx:23.37  and yet perceived as an eternal barrier to Heaven. Illusions are but  forms. Their content is never true.
Tx:23.38 The laws of chaos govern all illusions. Their  forms conflict, making it seem quite possible to value some above the

Tx:25.77  justice can prevail for you. And you are safe from vengeance in all  forms. The world deceives, but it cannot replace God's justice with a

Tx:26.68  separate. For time and space are one illusion which takes different  forms. If it has been projected beyond your minds, you think of it as
Tx:26.86 What does it mean if you perceive attack in certain  forms to be unfair to you? It means that there must be some forms in

Tx:6.43  ego believes. This is how you will learn the truth that will set you  free and keep you so, as others learn it of you. The only way to have
Tx:6.77 You are not asked to make insane decisions, although you are  free to think you are. It must, however, be insane to believe that it
Tx:7.13  if he perceives himself as a mind can [he overcome this]. Then he is  free to use terms like “intramental” and “intermental” without seeing
Tx:7.84  giving it up. Therefore, the ego tries to persuade you that it can  free you of conflict, lest you give the ego up and free yourself. The
Tx:7.84  you that it can free you of conflict, lest you give the ego up and  free yourself. The ego, using its own warped version of the laws of
Tx:8.10 The ego cannot teach you anything as long as your will is  free, because you will not listen to it. It is not your will to be
Tx:8.10  to it. It is not your will to be imprisoned, because your will is  free. That is why the ego is the denial of free will. It is never God
Tx:8.10  because your will is free. That is why the ego is the denial of  free will. It is never God who coerces you because He shares His Will
Tx:8.11  of your own freedom and makes you afraid of your will because it is  free. The Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the will of a Son of
Tx:8.31  our joint will, but my will alone cannot help you. Your will is as  free as mine, and God Himself would not go against it. I cannot will
Tx:8.33  This means that you have imprisoned yours and have not let it be  free. Of yourselves you can do nothing, because of yourselves you are
Tx:8.33  which is His Will for all His Sons. By offering freedom, you will be  free.
Tx:8.52  You who are beloved of God are wholly blessed. Learn this of me, and  free the holy will of all those who are as blessed as you are.
Tx:8.68  not allow yourselves to suffer from the results of what is not true.  Free your minds from the belief that this is possible. In its
Tx:8.78  louder without violating your will, which the Holy Spirit seeks to  free but never to command.
Tx:9.89 You are not  free to give up freedom, but only to deny it. You cannot do what God
Tx:9.101  creating worlds, but it can also deny what it creates because it is  free.
Tx:9.102  interfere with you, because He would not know His Son if he were not  free. To interfere with you would be to attack Himself, and God is
Tx:10.22  ego or host to God? You will accept only whom you invite. You are  free to determine who shall be your guest and how long he shall
Tx:10.58  true. Every brother has the power to release you if you will to be  free. You cannot accept false witness of him unless you have evoked
Tx:10.60  resurrection or the crucifixion? Would you condemn your brothers or  free them? Would you transcend your prison and ascend to the Father?
Tx:10.82  yours for the asking. Do not deny it to yourself, for it can only  free you. Nothing of God will enslave His Son, whom He created free
Tx:10.82  only free you. Nothing of God will enslave His Son, whom He created  free and whose freedom is protected by His Being.
Tx:12.7  of it. You have been told again and again that it will make you  free, yet you react as if it is trying to imprison you. Most of the
Tx:12.39  it is unworthy of Him. Yet He would release you from it and set you  free. His sane answer tells you that what you have offered yourself
Tx:12.48  and not allowing the miracle, which could intervene between them, to  free you to be born again.
Tx:12.49  you, and unless you bring them with you, you will see that you are  free of them.
Tx:12.51  you your brothers in the light that would unite you with them and  free you from the past. Would you, then, hold the past against them?
Tx:12.56 Awakening unto Christ is following the laws of love of your  free will and out of quiet recognition of the truth in them. The
Tx:13.8  as yourself, you will be released to knowledge, having learned to  free yourself of Him Who knows of freedom. Unite with me under the
Tx:13.11  the future and the past, the laws of God must intervene if you would  free yourselves. Atonement stands between them like a lamp that
Tx:13.16  of your own guilt. If you would have the Holy Spirit make you  free of it, accept His offer of Atonement for all your brothers. For
Tx:13.24  one each day be born again. A minute, even less, will be enough to  free you from the past and give your mind in peace over to the
Tx:13.62  knowledge in the Kingdom. All this lies in the Holy Spirit's plan to  free you from the past and open up the way to freedom for you. For
Tx:13.63 Behold your brothers in their freedom and learn of them how to be  free of darkness. The light in you will waken them, and they will not
Tx:13.64  The guiltless learner learns so easily because his thoughts are  free. Yet this entails the recognition that guilt is interference,
Tx:13.68  and cannot both be true. You are guilty or guiltless, bound or  free, happy or unhappy.
Tx:13.69  right, attesting to your happiness that comes from choosing to be  free of guilt. Everyone you offer healing to returns it. Everyone you
Tx:13.70  it, he binds himself to darkness because he did not choose to  free his brother and enter light with him. By giving power to
Tx:13.77  friend. He is the strong protector of your innocence, which sets you  free. And it is His decision to undo everything that would obscure
Tx:14.9  suffering of every kind lie in it. Who is there but wishes to be  free of pain? He may not yet have learned how to exchange his guilt
Tx:14.63  by which to recognize if what you learned is true. If you are wholly  free of fear of any kind, and if all those who meet or even think of
Tx:14.70 He Who has freed you from the past would teach you are  free of it. He would but have you accept His accomplishments as yours
Tx:14.70  them for you. And because he did, they are yours. He has made you  free of what you made. You can deny Him, but you cannot call on Him
Tx:15.9  And the present extends forever. It is so beautiful and so clean and  free of guilt that nothing but happiness is there. No darkness is
Tx:15.10  past, and it is here that you are completely absolved, completely  free, and wholly without condemnation. From this holy instant wherein
Tx:15.23  there is no form of littleness that can ever content you. You are  free to try as many as you wish, but all you will be doing is to
Tx:15.53  Holy Spirit's timelessness lies only here. For in the holy instant,  free of the past, you see that love is in you, and you have no need
Tx:15.61  that he be bound or limited in any way. In this instant, he is as  free as God would have him be. For the instant he refuses to be
Tx:15.83 The Holy Spirit is God's attempt to  free you of what He does not understand. And because of the Source of
Tx:15.90  with his release and what the Holy Spirit must undo to set him  free. For his belief in limits has imprisoned him.
Tx:15.91  be no interference in communication, and your thoughts will be as  free as God's. As you let the Holy Spirit teach you how to use the
Tx:16.22 You have taught freedom, but you have not learned how to be  free. We once said, “By their fruits ye shall know them, and they
Tx:16.77  receive it not, because He gave it. When He willed that His Son be  free, His Son was free. In the holy instant is His reminder that His
Tx:16.77  because He gave it. When He willed that His Son be free, His Son was  free. In the holy instant is His reminder that His Son will always be
Tx:17.9  remains still bound by them, and by your own forgiveness, you are  free to see. Yet what you see is only what you have made, with the
Tx:17.38  the picture that is the gift. And only on this basis are you really  free to choose. Look at the pictures. Both of them. One is a tiny
Tx:17.56  of the holy instant and use them to correct all your mistakes and  free you from their results. And learning this, you will have also
Tx:17.72  you enter or will ever enter. And every situation was thus made  free of the past, which would have made it purposeless.
Tx:17.76  aside unused. And then the power of the Holy Spirit's purpose is  free to use instead. This power instantly transforms all situations
Tx:19.2  from every demand your ego would make of him. Thus do you see him  free, and in this vision does the Holy Spirit share. And since He
Tx:19.12  through the eyes of faith, the Son of God is seen already forgiven,  free of all the guilt he laid upon himself. Faith sees him only now
Tx:19.16  all along with his Creator. You can enslave a body, but an idea is  free, incapable of being kept in prison or limited in any way except
Tx:19.70 Here is your choice, and it is  free. But all that lies in it will come with it, and what you think
Tx:19.74  of peace, it urges you to send out all your messages of hate and  free yourself. And to convince you this is possible, it bids the body
Tx:19.85  condemnation to which the body leads you. Ask not release of it. But  free it from the merciless and unrelenting orders you laid upon it
Tx:19.104  you to give each other, and thus receive it. Whom you forgive is  free, and what you give you share. Forgive the sins your brother
Tx:19.106  of freedom that I gave the Holy Spirit for both of you. And be you  free together, as you offer to the Holy Spirit this same gift. And
Tx:19.107  Free your brother here, as I freed you. Give him the self-same gift,
Tx:20.7  and you are crucified. Offer him lilies and it is yourself you  free.
Tx:20.14  is risen from the past and has awakened to the present. Now is he  free, unlimited in his communion with all that is within him. Now are
Tx:20.14  gift has saved him from the thorns and nails, and his strong arm is  free to guide you safely through them and beyond. Walk with him now
Tx:20.15  and your friend, released from crucifixion through your vision and  free to lead you now where he would be. He will not leave you nor
Tx:20.25  not the light, do not leap up in joy the instant they are made  free. It takes a while for them to understand what freedom is. You
Tx:20.26  become impossible. You who were prisoners in separation are now made  free in Paradise. And here would I unite with you, my friends, my
Tx:20.28  and gives no power to their seeming source. Thus would He keep you  free of them. Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit
Tx:20.30  this that you would see within your savior from insanity? He is as  free from this as you are, and in the freedom that you see in him,
Tx:20.32  given, whose special function here is to release him and so to  free himself. In the world of separation, each is appointed
Tx:20.66  upon is sinless. No one who loves can judge, and what he sees is  free of condemnation. And what he sees he did not make, for it was
Tx:20.68  exchange your doubts for certainty? Would you not willingly be  free of misery and learn again of joy? Your holy relationship offers
Tx:21.2  If you see holiness and hope, you joined the Will of God to set him  free. There is no choice that lies between these two decisions. And
Tx:21.23 Be willing for an instant to leave your altars  free of what you placed upon them, and what is really there you
Tx:21.35  has your faith and your belief. But holiness would set your brother  free, removing hatred by removing fear, not as a symptom, but at its
Tx:21.36 Those who would  free their brothers from the body can have no fear. They have
Tx:21.45  time began. And it desired nothing but to join with him and to be  free again, as once it was. It has been waiting for the birth of
Tx:21.53  for you and has your freedom as the purpose given it, you must be  free to find it.
Tx:21.69  attests to it. Where could his freedom lie but in himself if he be  free already? And who could bind him but himself if he deny his
Tx:21.69  at his own mercy. And where he chooses to be merciful, there is he  free. But where he chooses to condemn instead, there is he held a
Tx:21.69  held a prisoner, waiting in chains his pardon on himself to set him  free.
Tx:22.53  the role of means and end so easily in what God loves and would have  free forever. But be you rather grateful that you can be the means to
Tx:23.32  Here do the laws of sin appear to hold love captive and let sin go  free.
Tx:24.33 The slaves of specialness will yet be  free. Such is the Will of God and of His Son. Would God condemn
Tx:25.41  be when you perceive it! And how great will be your joy, when he is  free to offer you the gift of sight God gave to him for you! He has
Tx:25.42  from the pain of hell. But in the love he shows himself is God made  free to let His Will be done. In each of you, you see the picture of
Tx:25.56  and place in which you think you find yourself and where you can be  free of place and time and all that you believe must limit you. The
Tx:25.56  choice be made by the insane, whose problem is their choices are not  free and made with reason in the light of sense.
Tx:25.70  are wholly innocent in truth. In justice, He is bound to set them  free and give them all the honor they deserve and have denied
Tx:26.40 The Son that God created is as  free as God created him. He was reborn the instant that he chose to
Tx:26.65  use of what He gave to answer all His Son's mistakes and set him  free. But it is arrogant to lay aside the power that He gave and
Tx:27.2  you suffer now belongs to him, and when it rests on him are you set  free. Wish not to make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you
Tx:27.10  witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose being open and the mind made  free again to choose what it is for. Now is it not condemned, but
Tx:27.11  empty space, from which the goal of sin has been removed, is Heaven  free to be remembered. Here its peace can come and perfect healing
Tx:27.21  of guilt he suffers serves to prove that he is slave but they are  free. The constant pain they suffer demonstrates that they are free
Tx:27.21  are free. The constant pain they suffer demonstrates that they are  free because they hold him bound. And sickness is desired to prevent
Tx:27.27  of you. It cannot leave mistakes in one unhealed and set the other  free. That is divided purpose which cannot be shared, and so it
Tx:27.33  and unseen. Forgiveness is not yet a power known as wholly  free of limits. Yet it sets no limits you have chosen to impose.
Tx:27.34  remains unknown but is not canceled out. And thus is God left  free to take the final step Himself. [For this you need no pictures
Tx:27.41  asks what the response should be. But no one in a conflict state is  free to ask this question, for he does not want an honest answer
Tx:27.70  two states, but one of which is clearly recognized? Who could be  free to choose between effects when only one is seen as up to him?
Tx:27.86  recognize it is your dream. This single lesson learned will set you  free from suffering, whatever form it takes.
Tx:27.89  is recognized! When you forgive the world your guilt, you will be  free of it. Its innocence does not demand your guilt, nor does your
Tx:28.27  “this is not done to me, but I am doing this.” And thus the mind is  free to make another choice instead. Beginning here, salvation will
Tx:28.37  be turned instead on you. Thus have they no effects. And you are  free of dreams of pain because you let him be. Unless you help him,
Tx:28.42  because you let them be. But if you took your own away would he be  free of them and of his own as well. Your dreams are witnesses to
Tx:28.48  made. And so he cannot be a part of yours, from which you both are  free. Forgiveness separates the dreamer from the evil dream and thus
Tx:29.10  you not perceive it as release from suffering to learn that you are  free? Why would you not acclaim the truth, instead of looking on it
Tx:29.12  must come wherever they are not. Why are you not rejoicing? You are  free of pain and sickness, misery and loss, and all effects of hatred
Tx:29.21  to his reality. He must be savior from the dream he made, that he be  free of it. He must see someone else as not a body, one with him,
Tx:29.42  lovely is the world whose purpose is forgiveness of God's Son! How  free from fear, how filled with blessing and with happiness! And what
Tx:30.30  cannot be coercion here nor grounds for opposition that you may be  free. There is no freedom from what must occur. And if you think
Tx:30.34  be called by freedom's name. Unless you do your will, you are not  free. And would God leave His Son without what he has chosen for
Tx:30.34  to what he does not want. He joins with you in willing you be  free. And to oppose Him is to make a choice against yourself and
Tx:30.36  have you for anger in a world which merely waits your blessing to be  free? If you be prisoner, then God Himself could not be free. For
Tx:30.36  to be free? If you be prisoner, then God Himself could not be  free. For what is done to him whom God so loves is done to God
Tx:30.37  the freedom you will give when you have recognized that you are  free. But you will not forgive the world until you have forgiven Him
Tx:30.37  For it is by your will the world is given freedom. Nor can you be  free apart from Him Whose holy will you share. God turns to you to
Tx:30.54  believe an idol gives. For thus the Son of God declares that he is  free of idols. And thus is he free.
Tx:30.54  the Son of God declares that he is free of idols. And thus is he  free.
Tx:30.55  for the things you do not want. And you are asked to let yourself be  free of all the dreams of what you never were and seek no more to
Tx:30.65  let not your experiences here deceive in retrospect. They were not  free from bitter cost and joyless consequence.
Tx:30.69  their enemy. But when they joined and shared a purpose, they were  free to learn their will is one. And thus the Will of God must reach
Tx:30.94  you request a miracle instead. There is no pain from which he is not  free if you would have him be but what he is. Why should you fear to
Tx:30.94  but behold your Self in what you see. As he is healed are you made  free of guilt, for his appearance is your own to you.
Tx:31.12  crossed your mind of anyone. Now do [you] know him not. But you are  free to learn of him and learn of him anew. Now is he born again to
Tx:31.12  the past that sentenced him to die, and you with him. Now is he  free to live, as you are free because an ancient learning passed away
Tx:31.12  him to die, and you with him. Now is he free to live, as you are  free because an ancient learning passed away and left a place for
Tx:31.15  choose between is not a choice and gives but the illusion it is  free, for it will have one outcome either way. Thus is it really not
Tx:31.30  For here are you made sin, and sin cannot abide the joyous and the  free, for they are enemies which sin must kill. In death is sin
Tx:31.59  no assumptions which would stand the light, then is the truth left  free to enter in its sanctuary, clean and free of guilt. There is no
Tx:31.59  then is the truth left free to enter in its sanctuary, clean and  free of guilt. There is no statement that the world is more afraid to
Tx:31.80 The savior's vision is as innocent of what your brother is as it is  free of any judgment made upon yourself. It sees no past in anyone at
Tx:31.94  hear, and you will choose again. And in this choice is everyone made  free.
W1:29.5 Your list of subjects should therefore be as  free of self-selection as possible. For example, a suitable list
W1:39.11 Meanwhile, you should feel  free to introduce variety into your practice periods in whatever form
W1:57.3  in which I see myself. All I need do is recognize this, and I am  free. I have deluded myself into believing it is possible to imprison
W1:57.3  this belief, which I no longer want. The Son of God must be forever  free. He is as God created him, and not what I would make of him. He
W1:57.4  must be, then, that the world is really a place where he can be set  free. I would look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place
W1:70.14  and nothing but your own thoughts can hamper your progress. You are  free from all external interference. You are in charge of your
W1:71.9  full release from all your own insane attempts and mad proposals to  free yourself. They have led to depression and anger. But God's plan
W1:73.9  it is the ego which stands powerless before your will. Your will is  free, and nothing can prevail against it. Therefore we undertake the
W1:76.7  which we would hide. We realize instead it is a truth which keeps us  free forever. Magic imprisons, but the laws of God set free. The

W1:78.10  seeing no separation in God's Son. And what you see through Him will  free you both.
W1:79.3  to be no end to them. There is no time in which you feel completely  free of problems and at peace.
W1:79.7  to it. We will not assume that we already know. We will try to  free our minds of all the many different kinds of problems that we
W1:80.5  problems have been solved. Recognize that you are out of conflict,  free, and at peace. Above all, remember that you have one problem and
W1:80.8  not to collect grievances today. Let us be determined to be  free of problems that do not exist. The means is simple honesty. Do
W1:88.5  in them. They have no real effect on me at all. I am perfectly  free of the effects of all laws save God's. And His are the laws of

W1:96.10  you about your Self, and what your mind can do, restored to it and  free to serve its will.

W1:105.9  yourself to recognize God's gifts to you and let your mind be  free of all that would prevent success today. Now are you ready to

W1:107.15  the world and Him Who would release the world as He would set you  free.
W1:110.2  any time or place. It is enough to heal the past and make the future  free. It is enough to let the present be accepted as it is. It is
W1:110.3  but just this one to let redemption come to light the world and  free it from the past.
W1:110.5  today's idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you  free. This is the truth that God has promised you. This is the Word
W1:110.13  this truth as often as we can. This is the Word of God that sets you  free. This is the key that opens up the gate of Heaven, and which
W1:125.2  means can save it, for God's plan is simply this: the Son of God is  free to save himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide, forever
W1:125.2  to lead him surely to his Father's house by his own will, forever  free as God's. He is not led by force, but only love. He is not
W1:125.9  your practicing today lift you above the thinking of the world and  free your vision from the body's eyes. Only be still and listen. You
W1:127.6 Today we practice making  free our minds of all the laws you think you must obey, of all the
W1:127.10  thought was made in hate to be love's enemy. Now are they all made  free along with us. Now are they all our brothers in God's Love.
W1:128.5  go all thought of values we have given to the world. We leave it  free of purposes we gave its aspects and its phases and its dreams.

W1:128.6  will be grateful to be free a while. It knows where it belongs. But  free its wings, and it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its
W1:131.4  search unless you give it power to do so. Otherwise, you still are  free to choose a goal that lies beyond the world and every worldly
W1:132.2 Yet is salvation easily achieved, for anyone is  free to change his mind, and all his thoughts change with it. Now the
W1:132.3 You  free the past from what you thought before. You free the future from
W1:132.3 You free the past from what you thought before. You  free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not
W1:132.3  now remains the only time. Here in the present is the world set  free. For as you let the past be lifted and release the future from
W1:132.11  of saying that to know your Self is the salvation of the world? To  free the world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind
W1:132.12  were created, so it is your thoughts which made it and must set it  free that you may know the thoughts you share with God.
W1:132.15 Today our purpose is to  free the world from all the idle thoughts we ever held about it and
W1:132.15  the world this day from every one of our illusions that we may be  free.
W1:134.9 Now are you  free to follow in the way your true forgiveness opens up to you. For
W1:134.10  in terms which render choosing meaningful and keep your mind as  free of guilt and pain as God Himself intended it to be and as it is

W1:136.15  a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth to come to us and set us  free.
W1:137.8  is weakness overcome. And minds which were walled off within a body  free to join with other minds, to be forever strong.

W1:170.14  them we find our peace. Holy are we because Your holiness has set us  free. And we give thanks. Amen.
W1:R5.12  seemed to claim the world. And we remind the world that it is  free of all illusions every time we say,

W1:190.11  Heaven. Let our gratitude unto our Teacher fill our hearts as we are  free to choose our joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin,
W1:191.4  one thing is folly to believe. In this one thought is everything set  free. In this one truth are all illusions gone. In this one fact is
W1:191.5  And from this place of safety and escape, you will return and set it  free. For he who can accept his true Identity is truly saved. And his

Tx:8.18  must be extended outward. You who belong in God have the holy  function of extending His Fatherhood by placing no limits upon it.
Tx:8.24  Himself, and everything belongs to Him. Giving of your self is the  function He gave you. Fulfilling it perfectly will teach you what you
Tx:8.35  It is everything. Unless you take your place in It and fulfill your  function as part of It, It is as bereft as you are. No part of It can
Tx:8.46  what else but joy would you want? You made neither yourself nor your  function. You made only the decision to be unworthy of both. Yet you
Tx:8.47 Your  function is to add to God's treasure by creating yours. His Will to
Tx:8.47  because you do not understand Him. No one who does not know his  function can understand it, and no one can know his function unless
Tx:8.47  not know his function can understand it, and no one can know his  function unless he knows who he is. Creation is the Will of God. His
Tx:8.48  mind of God's Son if they so choose. This choice does make the Son's  function unknown to him, but never to his Creator. And because it is
Tx:8.49  I asked it of Him and learned of what He had already given. Our  function is to function together, because apart from each other we
Tx:8.49  of Him and learned of what He had already given. Our function is to  function together, because apart from each other we cannot function
Tx:8.49  is to function together, because apart from each other we cannot  function at all. The whole power of God's Son lies in all of us, but
Tx:8.55  anything can have is the service it can render God on behalf of the  function He has given it.
Tx:8.65  is the cause of all illness, because only extension is the mind's  function. The opposite of joy is depression. When your learning
Tx:8.69  incapable of true generalizations and equates what it sees with the  function it ascribes to it. It does not equate it with what it is. To
Tx:8.69  The body's condition lies solely in your interpretation of its  function.
Tx:8.70 The reason why definitions in terms of  function are inferior is that they may well be inaccurate. Functions
Tx:8.74  case, nor does the Holy Spirit. We have said that judgment is the  function of the Holy Spirit and one which He is perfectly equipped to
Tx:8.75 It is still true that the body has no  function of itself, because it is not an end. The ego, however,
Tx:8.75  establishes it as an end because as such it will lose its true  function. This is the purpose of everything the ego does. Its sole
Tx:8.75  of everything the ego does. Its sole aim is to lose sight of the  function of everything. A sick body does not make any sense. It could
Tx:8.76  the data are meaningless, there is no point in considering them. The  function of truth is to collect data which are true. There is no
Tx:8.79  them and therefore heal you. Everything used in accordance with its  function as the Holy Spirit sees it cannot be sick. Everything used
Tx:8.84  would be teaching that one error can be more real than another. His  function is to distinguish only between the false and the true,
Tx:8.93  available but cannot help you. When we said that the Holy Spirit's  function is to sort out the true from the false in your unconscious,
Tx:9.8 Do not undertake His  function, or you will forget yours. Accept only the function of
Tx:9.8  undertake His function, or you will forget yours. Accept only the  function of healing in time, because that is what time is for. God
Tx:9.8  healing in time, because that is what time is for. God gave you the  function to create in eternity. You do not need to learn this, but
Tx:9.14  Follow His teaching in forgiveness then, because forgiveness is His  function, and He knows how to fulfill it perfectly. That is what we
Tx:9.15  of the fact that you do not know what it is. His work is not your  function, and unless you accept this, you cannot learn what your
Tx:9.15  function, and unless you accept this, you cannot learn what your  function is. The confusion of functions is so typical of the ego that
Tx:9.28  he is the Guide. The human therapist can only let Him fulfill His  function. He needs no help for this. He will tell you exactly what to
Tx:9.28  remember also that the right one will. Trust Him, for help is His  function, and He is of God.
Tx:10.10  It can only be increased, and everything He creates has the  function of creating. Love does not limit, and what it creates is not
Tx:10.21 You will never rest until you know your  function and fulfill it, for only in this can your will and your
Tx:10.21  has given Himself to you. You who have God must be as God, for His  function became yours with His gift. Invite this knowledge back into
Tx:10.45  the independence of creation, not of autonomy. Your whole creative  function lies in your complete dependence on God, Whose function He
Tx:10.45  creative function lies in your complete dependence on God, Whose  function He shares with you. By His Willingness to share it, He
Tx:10.51  establish your autonomy by identifying with Him and fulfilling your  function as it exists in truth. The ego believes that to accomplish
Tx:10.51  its goal is happiness. But it is given you to know that God's  function is yours and happiness cannot be found apart from your joint
Tx:11.64  through you. Do the Holy Spirit's work, for you share in His  function. As your function in Heaven is creation, so your function on
Tx:11.64  Do the Holy Spirit's work, for you share in His function. As your  function in Heaven is creation, so your function on earth is healing.
Tx:11.64  in His function. As your function in Heaven is creation, so your  function on earth is healing. God shares His function with you in
Tx:11.64  is creation, so your function on earth is healing. God shares His  function with you in Heaven, and the Holy Spirit shares His with you
Tx:11.73  If it is your judgment, it will be wrong, for judgment is not your  function. If it is the judgment of the Holy Spirit, it will be right,
Tx:11.73  judgment of the Holy Spirit, it will be right, for judgment is His  function. You share His function only by judging as He does,
Tx:11.73  it will be right, for judgment is His function. You share His  function only by judging as He does, reserving no judgment at all
Tx:11.83  the attraction of love for love remains irresistible. For it is the  function of love to unite all things unto itself, and to hold all
Tx:12.23  course on love because it is about you. You have been told that your  function in this world is healing, and your function in Heaven is
Tx:12.23  have been told that your function in this world is healing, and your  function in Heaven is creating. The ego teaches that your function on
Tx:12.23  and your function in Heaven is creating. The ego teaches that your  function on earth is destruction and that you have no function at all
Tx:12.23  that your function on earth is destruction and that you have no  function at all in Heaven. It would thus destroy you here and bury
Tx:12.30  as rendering the need for it unnecessary. Thus does He regard the  function of time as temporary, serving only His teaching function,
Tx:12.30  regard the function of time as temporary, serving only His teaching  function, which is temporary by definition. His emphasis is therefore
Tx:12.31 The ego, on the other hand, regards the  function of time as one of extending itself in place of eternity, for
Tx:12.32 You too will interpret the  function of time as you interpret yours. If you accept your function
Tx:12.32  the function of time as you interpret yours. If you accept your  function in the world of time as healing, you will emphasize only the
Tx:12.32  extends the present rather than the past. But if you interpret your  function as destruction, you will lose sight of the present and hold
Tx:13.3  formulation of reality with no effect at all. The miracle, without a  function in Heaven, is needful here. Aspects of reality can still be
Tx:13.4 Apart from the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit has no  function. He is not separate from either, being in the mind of both
Tx:13.64  that guilt is interference, not salvation, and serves no useful  function at all.
Tx:13.88  real and visible to them that use it. On earth this is your only  function, and you must learn that it is all you want to learn.
Tx:13.89  form it takes, your guilt arises from your failure to fulfill your  function in God's Mind with all of yours. Can you escape this guilt
Tx:13.89  all of yours. Can you escape this guilt by failing to fulfill your  function here? You need not understand creation to do what must be
Tx:13.90  Holiness nor anyone unworthy of His perfect Love. Fail not in your  function of loving in a loveless place made out of darkness and
Tx:13.91  decisions for yourself, remember that you have decided against your  function in Heaven and consider carefully whether you want to make
Tx:13.91  and consider carefully whether you want to make decisions here. Your  function here is only to decide against deciding what you want in
Tx:13.91  do? Leave all decisions to the One Who speaks for God and for your  function as He knows it. So will He teach you to remove the awful
Tx:14.6  learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim awareness that his true  function remains unfulfilled in him. The burden of guilt is heavy,
Tx:14.23 The Holy Spirit's  function is entirely communication. He therefore must remove whatever
Tx:14.38  of truth and illusion, of the ego to God, is the Holy Spirit's only  function. Keep not your making from your Father, for hiding it has
Tx:14.47  order of difficulty can occur. The miracle, therefore, has a unique  function and is motivated by a unique Teacher, Who brings the laws of
Tx:14.50  is to judge and to arrange by judgment. [Therefore, it is not your  function, but the Holy Spirit's.] It will seem difficult for you to
Tx:15.1  it constitutes all your learning. He has not fulfilled His teaching  function until you have become such a consistent learner that you
Tx:15.24  you, and by limiting yourself, you will not be satisfied. For your  function is not little, and it is only by finding your function and
Tx:15.24  For your function is not little, and it is only by finding your  function and fulfilling it that you can escape from littleness.
Tx:15.25 There is no doubt about what your  function is, for the Holy Spirit knows what it is. There is no doubt
Tx:15.48  has entered cannot be depended on because it is not perfect. In His  function as Interpreter of what you have made, the Holy Spirit uses
Tx:15.77  surely as damnation lies in guilt. It is the Holy Spirit's teaching  function to instruct those who believe that communication is
Tx:15.77  And guilt, whose only purpose is to disrupt communication, has no  function here.
Tx:15.84  what God cannot know and what you do not understand. It is His holy  function to accept them both, and by removing every element of
Tx:15.84  to join them into one. He will do this because it is His  function. Leave, then, what seems to you to be impossible to Him Who
Tx:15.92  season means anything in eternity. But here it is the Holy Spirit's  function to use them both, though not as the ego uses them. This is
Tx:16.8  No needs will long be left unmet if you leave them all to Him Whose  function is to meet them. That is His function and not yours. He will
Tx:16.8  leave them all to Him Whose function is to meet them. That is His  function and not yours. He will not meet them secretly, for He would
Tx:16.9  Him is for the whole Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him His  function, for He will fulfill it if you but ask Him to enter your
Tx:17.10  for everything that has been used for learning will have no  function. Nothing will ever change; no shifts nor shadings, no
Tx:17.27  can be real. The purpose God ascribed to anything is its only  function. Because of His reason for creating His relationship with
Tx:17.27  Because of His reason for creating His relationship with you, the  function of relationships became forever “to make happy.” And nothing
Tx:17.27  became forever “to make happy.” And nothing else. To fulfill this  function, you relate to your creations as God to His. For nothing God
Tx:17.27  would extend happiness as its Creator did. Whatever fulfills this  function not cannot be real.
Tx:17.28  And by that all that is meant is that He will restore to them the  function given them by God. The function you have given them is
Tx:17.28  is that He will restore to them the function given them by God. The  function you have given them is clearly not to make happy. But the
Tx:18.13 You have been called together to the most holy  function that this world contains. It is the only one which has no
Tx:18.30 You who are now the bringers of salvation have the  function of bringing light to darkness. The darkness in you has been
Tx:18.38  instant belongs to Him Who gives it. Release yourselves to Him Whose  function is release. Do not assume His function for Him. Give Him but
Tx:18.38  yourselves to Him Whose function is release. Do not assume His  function for Him. Give Him but what He asks, that you may learn how
Tx:18.42  have tried to remove all fear and hatred from your mind. That is its  function. Never attempt to overlook your guilt before you ask the
Tx:18.42  your guilt before you ask the Holy Spirit's help. That is His  function. Your part is only to offer Him a little willingness to let
Tx:18.43  Can you plan for this? Or could you prepare yourselves for such a  function? Yet it is possible because God wills it. Nor will He change
Tx:18.45  Yet it is very useful to the Holy Spirit, Who has a special  function here. It will become the happy dream through which He can
Tx:18.45  who believe that love is fear, not happiness. Let Him fulfill the  function that He gave to your relationship by accepting it for you,
Tx:18.52  it through projection. And though it clearly can misperceive the  function of the body, it cannot change its function from what the
Tx:18.52  can misperceive the function of the body, it cannot change its  function from what the Holy Spirit establishes it to be. The body was
Tx:19.39  in you has been extended to encompass everyone, the Holy Spirit's  function here will be accomplished. What need is there for seeing
Tx:20.32  this earth in seeming solitude is a savior given, whose special  function here is to release him and so to free himself. In the world
Tx:20.33  them. Each holy relationship must enter here to learn its special  function in the Holy Spirit's plan, now that it shares His purpose.
Tx:20.35  salvation that does not work. Once you accept His plan as the one  function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy
Tx:20.37  to find the certainty his Father has in him. And there he finds his  function of restoring his Father's laws to what was held outside them
Tx:20.41  to him. When it is used only as the Holy Spirit teaches, it has no  function, for minds need not the body to communicate. The sight that
Tx:22.23  mercy condemnation. And vision cannot damn, but only bless. Whose  function is to save will save. How he will do it is beyond your
Tx:22.26  that has been given you? And would you not exchange in gratitude the  function of an executioner you gave him for the one he has in truth?
Tx:22.44  by receiving it, he learned it was not given him alone. Such is the  function of a holy relationship—to receive together and give as you
Tx:22.58  This is your part in bringing peace. For you have asked what is your  function here and have been answered. Seek not to change it nor to
Tx:22.59  loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness is the Holy Spirit's  function. Leave this to Him. Let your concern be only that you give
Tx:22.64 This is the  function of your holy relationship. For what one thinks the other
Tx:23.26  ego will enable you to find escape from what it wants. That is the  function of this course, which does not value what the ego cherishes.
Tx:23.32  is. What protects madness is the belief that it is true. It is the  function of insanity to take the place of truth. It must be seen as
Tx:23.34  it possible. Nor is it unfamiliar; we have seen how it appears to  function many times before. In truth it does not function, yet in
Tx:23.34  how it appears to function many times before. In truth it does not  function, yet in dreams, where only shadows play the major roles, it
Tx:23.49 God does not share His  function with a body. He gave the function to create unto His Son
Tx:23.49 God does not share His function with a body. He gave the  function to create unto His Son because it is His own. It is not
Tx:23.49  unto His Son because it is His own. It is not sinful to believe the  function of the Son is murder, but it is insanity. What is the same
Tx:23.49  murder, but it is insanity. What is the same can have no different  function. Creation is the means for God's extension, and what is His
Tx:23.50  relationship is like the love of God. It cannot yet assume the holy  function God gave His Son, for your forgiveness of one another is not
Tx:24.13  as the gauge of littleness and be released from limits? You have a  function in salvation. Its pursuit will bring you joy. But the
Tx:24.18  to forgive you all the sins you think you placed between him and the  function of salvation given him for you. Nor will you change his
Tx:24.18  the function of salvation given him for you. Nor will you change his  function, any more than you can change the truth in him and in
Tx:24.57  of any kind, is all the other choice can offer you. Futility of  function not fulfilled will haunt you while your brother lies asleep,
Tx:24.59 Specialness is the  function which you gave yourself. It stands for you alone, as
Tx:25.9  aware that it is one and so experienced. It is the Holy Spirit's  function to teach you how this oneness is experienced, what you must
Tx:25.19  in him and sees only a frame of darkness, it is still your only  function to behold in him what he sees not. And in this seeing is the
Tx:25.40  you chose to have him be to you. If you decide against his proper  function, the only one he has in truth, you are depriving him of all
Tx:25.41  he be saved, for by his freedom will you gain your own. To let his  function be fulfilled is but the means to let yours be. And so you
Tx:25.41  does you do along with him. And as you see him, so do you define the  function he will have for you until you see him differently and let
Tx:25.45  be unrecognized by you. Nor does He will that he remain without the  function that He gave to him. Let him no more be lonely, for the
Tx:25.45  Let him no more be lonely, for the lonely ones are those who see no  function in the world for them to fill, no place where they are
Tx:25.46  what you made, to heal instead of harm. To each He gives a special  function in salvation he alone can fill—a part for only him. Nor is
Tx:25.46  for only him. Nor is the plan complete until he finds his special  function and fulfills the part assigned to him to make himself
Tx:25.47  given to himself, and so they must be one. Forgiveness is the only  function meaningful in time. It is the means the Holy Spirit uses to
Tx:25.47  is for all. But when it rests on all, it is complete and every  function of this world completed with it. Then is time no more.
Tx:25.49 The Holy Spirit needs your special  function that His may be fulfilled. Think not you lack a special
Tx:25.49  appear to be attack. In light, you see it as your special  function in the plan to save the Son of God from all attack and let
Tx:25.49  been and will remain in time and in eternity alike. This is the  function given each of you for one another. Take it gently then from
Tx:25.56 Your special  function is the special form in which the fact that God is not insane
Tx:25.58  overlook nor fail completely to perceive at all. To each his special  function is designed to be perceived as possible and more and more
Tx:25.58  everyone's escape. He can no more be left outside without a special  function in the hope of peace than could the Father overlook His Son
Tx:25.59  and so emerge from deepest mourning into perfect joy. Accept the  function that has been assigned to you in God's Own plan to show His
Tx:25.61  Spirit gives meaning and direction to the plan in which your special  function has a part. For here your special function is made whole
Tx:25.61  in which your special function has a part. For here your special  function is made whole because it shares the function of the whole.
Tx:25.61  For here your special function is made whole because it shares the  function of the whole.
Tx:25.72  as well that you cannot accept it for yourself. It is His special  function to hold out to you the gifts the innocent deserve. And every
Tx:25.74  so justice may return to love and there be satisfied. Each special  function He allots is but for this—that each one learn that love
Tx:25.75  great and holy that He could not doubt His innocence. Your special  function is a call to Him that He may smile on you whose sinlessness
Tx:25.75  His understanding will be yours. And so the Holy Spirit's special  function has been fulfilled. God's Son has found a witness unto his
Tx:25.77  Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your special  function shows you nothing else but perfect justice can prevail for
Tx:26.5  that gives it sense and makes it meaningful. Without your special  function has this world no meaning for you. Yet it can become a
Tx:26.9  within the rotting prison where he sees himself. It is your special  function to ensure the door be opened that he may come forth to shine
Tx:26.9  of freedom by receiving it of you. What is the Holy Spirit's special  function but to release the holy Son of God from the imprisonment he
Tx:26.9  the imprisonment he made to keep himself from justice? Could your  function be a task apart and separate from His Own?
Tx:26.15  preserved from sacrifice entirely. Consider once again your special  function. One is given you to see in him his perfect sinlessness. And
Tx:26.17  Nothing He loves but must be sinless and beyond attack. Your special  function opens wide the door beyond which is the memory of His love
Tx:26.24 Is not this like your special  function, where the separation is undone by change of purpose in what
Tx:26.25  himself as needing it no more. And thus is he returned to his real  function of creating, which his forgiveness offers him again.
Tx:26.53  effects. Who looks on them is but deceived. Forgiveness is the only  function here and serves to bring the joy this world denies to every
Tx:26.57  is what you are. This is the miracle by which creation became your  function, sharing it with God. It is not understood apart from Him
Tx:26.89  you, you have laid on it by rendering it purposeless, without the  function that the Holy Spirit sees. And simple justice has been thus
Tx:27.10 Your  function is to [prove to] your brother that sin can have no cause.
Tx:27.10  must it be to see yourself a picture of the proof that what your  function is can never be! The Holy Spirit's picture changes not the
Tx:27.10  but waiting for a purpose to be given that it may fulfill the  function that it will receive.
Tx:27.12  You but gave illusions of a purpose to a thing you made to hide your  function from yourself. This thing without a purpose cannot hide the
Tx:27.12  function from yourself. This thing without a purpose cannot hide the  function that the Holy Spirit gave. Let, then, its purpose and your
Tx:27.12  function that the Holy Spirit gave. Let, then, its purpose and your  function both be reconciled at last and seen as one.
Tx:27.22 [Correction is not your  function. It belongs to One Who knows of fairness, not of guilt. If
Tx:27.22  not of guilt. If you assume correction's role, you lose the  function of forgiveness. No one can forgive until he learns
Tx:27.22  are the same, and therefore is correction not of you. Identity and  function are the same, and by your function do you know yourself. And
Tx:27.22  not of you. Identity and function are the same, and by your  function do you know yourself. And thus, if you confuse your function
Tx:27.22  by your function do you know yourself. And thus, if you confuse your  function with the function of Another, you must be confused about
Tx:27.22  you know yourself. And thus, if you confuse your function with the  function of Another, you must be confused about yourself and who you
Tx:27.22  and who you are. What is the separation but a wish to take God's  function from Him and deny that it is His? Yet if it is not His, it
Tx:27.23  mind, identity must seem to be divided. Nor can anyone perceive a  function unified which has conflicting purposes and different ends.
Tx:27.23  of your correction as the one more innocent than he. This splits his  function off from yours and gives you both a different role. And so
Tx:27.23  role. And so you cannot be perceived as one and, with a single  function, that would mean a shared identity with but one end.
Tx:27.24 [Correction you would do must separate, because that is the  function given it by you. When you perceive correction is the same as
Tx:27.24  from the one you cherish and you think is yours. Thus does your  function seem divided, with a half in opposition to a half. And these
Tx:27.25  is. From an idea of self as two, there comes a necessary view of  function split between the two. And what you would correct is only
Tx:27.26  it is the other half. And this He does by giving both of you a  function that is one, not different.
Tx:27.27 Correction is the  function given both, but neither one alone. And when it is fulfilled
Tx:27.27  is divided purpose which cannot be shared, and so it cannot be the  function which the Holy Spirit sees as His. And you can rest assured
Tx:27.27  sees as His. And you can rest assured that He will not fulfill a  function He cannot understand and recognize as His. For only thus can
Tx:27.27  yours preserved intact, despite your separate views of what your  function is. If He upheld divided function, you were lost indeed. His
Tx:27.27  your separate views of what your function is. If He upheld divided  function, you were lost indeed. His inability to see His goal divided
Tx:27.27  for each of you preserves your Self from being made aware of any  function other than Its own. And thus is healing given both of you.
Tx:27.28  as one because It is not split in purpose and conceives a single  function as Its only one. Here is the function given It conceived to
Tx:27.28  purpose and conceives a single function as Its only one. Here is the  function given It conceived to be Its own and not apart from that Its
Tx:27.28  Giver keeps because it has been shared. In His acceptance of this  function lies the means whereby your mind is unified. His single
Tx:27.35  come, not to destroy, but to receive Its own. There is no choice of  function anywhere. The choice you fear to lose you never had. Yet
Tx:27.57  could it tell a part of God Himself what it should feel and what its  function is. Yet must He love whatever you hold dear. And for each
Tx:27.61  effects with you. And no one will elect to suffer more. What better  function could you serve than this? Be healed that you may heal, and
Tx:28.24  a cause. The miracle is the first step in giving back to cause the  function of causation, not effect. For this confusion has produced
Tx:28.26  it also shows that, having no effects, it is not cause because the  function of causation is to have effects. And where effects are gone,
Tx:28.44 The Holy Spirit's  function is to take the broken picture of the Son of God and put the
Tx:28.52 Creation proves reality because it shares the  function all creation shares. It is not made of little bits of glass,
Tx:29.12  to demand escape from sin and pain of what was made to serve the  function of retaining sin and pain. For pain and sin are one
Tx:29.27 In simplest form it can be said attack is a response to  function unfulfilled as you perceive the function. It can be in you
Tx:29.27  attack is a response to function unfulfilled as you perceive the  function. It can be in you or someone else, but where it is
Tx:29.28 When you are angry, is it not because someone has failed to fill the  function you allotted him? And does not this become the “reason” your
Tx:29.28  more or less. They are desired or not. And each one represents some  function which you have assigned, some goal which an event, or body,
Tx:29.29  becomes a brother giving you a chance to help if this becomes the  function of the dream. And dreams of sadness thus are turned to joy.
Tx:29.30 What is your brother for? You do not know because your  function is obscure to you. Do not ascribe a role to him which you
Tx:29.30  in every dream he has, and you have help to give him if you see the  function of the dream as He perceives its function, Who can utilize
Tx:29.30  to give him if you see the function of the dream as He perceives its  function, Who can utilize all dreams as means to serve the function
Tx:29.30  its function, Who can utilize all dreams as means to serve the  function given Him. Because He loves the dreamer not the dream, each
Tx:29.33  very still and hear God's Voice in him and let It tell you what his  function is. He was created that you might be whole, for only the
Tx:29.36  share this dream? Because unless the Holy Spirit gives the dream its  function, it was made for hate and will continue in death's services.

W1:65.1  necessarily entails two phases: the recognition of salvation as your  function and the relinquishment of all the other goals you have

W1:65.7  thought reflects a goal that is preventing me from accepting my only  function.
W1:65.9 On this clean slate, let my true  function be written for me.
W1:65.13 My only  function is the one God gave me. I want no other and I have no other.
W1:66.1  our recent lessons on the connection between fulfilling your  function and achieving happiness. This is because you do not really
W1:66.2  battle with the Holy Spirit on the fundamental question of what your  function is. So does it do constant battle with the Holy Spirit about
W1:66.2  ego attacks and the Holy Spirit does not respond. He knows what your  function is. He knows that it is your happiness.
W1:66.3  this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the truth about your  function. We will not engage in ceaseless arguments about what it is.
W1:66.4  the fact that not only is there a very real connection between the  function God gave you and your happiness, but that they are actually
W1:66.4  are actually identical. God gives you only happiness. Therefore the  function He gave you must be happiness, even if it appears to be
W1:66.6 God gives me only happiness. He has given my  function to me. Therefore my function must be happiness.
W1:66.6  me only happiness. He has given my function to me. Therefore my  function must be happiness.
W1:66.9 The second premise is that God has given you your  function. We have seen that there are only two parts of your mind.
W1:66.10 Thus it must be that your  function is established by God through His Voice or is made by the
W1:66.10  you have made to replace Him. Which is true? Unless God gave your  function to you, it must be the gift of the ego. Does the ego really

W1:81.5  function that I will see the light in me. And in this light will my  function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous before my sight. My
W1:81.5  my sight. My acceptance does not depend on my recognizing what my  function is, for I do not yet understand forgiveness. Yet I will
W1:81.7 Let this help me learn what forgiveness means. Let me not separate my  function from my will. I would not use this for an alien purpose.
W1:82.5 [64] Let me not forget my  function. I would not forget my function because I would remember my
W1:82.5 [64] Let me not forget my function. I would not forget my  function because I would remember my Self. I cannot fulfill my

W1:82.5  I cannot fulfill my function by forgetting. And unless I fulfill my  function, I will not experience the joy that God intends for me.
W1:82.7 Let me not use this to hide my  function from me. I would use this as an opportunity to fulfill my
W1:82.7  function from me. I would use this as an opportunity to fulfill my  function. This may threaten my ego but cannot change my function in

W1:83.2 [65] My only function is the one God gave me. I have no  function but the one God gave me. This recognition releases me from
W1:83.2  to think. All doubt must disappear as I acknowledge that my only  function is the one God gave me.
W1:83.4 My perception of this does not change my  function. This does not give me a function other than the one God
W1:83.4  of this does not change my function. This does not give me a  function other than the one God gave me. Let me not use this to

W1:83.5 [66] My happiness and my  function are one. All things that come from God are one. They come
W1:83.5  They come from Oneness and must be received as one. Fulfilling my  function is my happiness because both come from the same Source. And
W1:83.7 This cannot separate my happiness from my  function. The oneness of my happiness and my function remains wholly
W1:83.7  my happiness from my function. The oneness of my happiness and my  function remains wholly unaffected by this. Nothing, including this,
W1:83.7  including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart from my  function.

W1:98.11  say is true. And you will have conviction then of Him Who knows the  function that you have on earth as well as Heaven. He will be with

W1:107.11  from Him. You speak to Him today and make your pledge to let His  function be fulfilled through you. To share His function is to share
W1:107.11  pledge to let His function be fulfilled through you. To share His  function is to share His joy. His confidence is with you, as you say:

Tx:11.96  and thus depends on one-dimensional time, proceeding from past to  future. No one who believes this can understand what always means.
Tx:11.96  and always must be now. Guilt, then, is a way of holding past and  future in your minds to ensure the ego's continuity. For if what has
Tx:11.97  guiltlessness, you learn that the past has never been, and so the  future is needless. The future, in time, is always associated with

Tx:12.48  destroy time's continuity by breaking it into past, present, and  future for your own purposes. You would anticipate the future on the
Tx:12.48  present, and future for your own purposes. You would anticipate the  future on the basis of your past experience and plan for it
Tx:12.48  plan for it accordingly. Yet by doing so, you are aligning past and  future and not allowing the miracle, which could intervene between

Tx:13.13  accept your treasure, and if you place your faith in the past, the  future will be like it. Whatever you hold as dear, you think is
Tx:15.2  and that the results of the Holy Spirit's teaching are far in the  future. This is not so. For the Holy Spirit uses time in His own way

W1:127.9  of what you learn. Let us give thanks today that we are spared a  future like the past. Today we leave the past behind us, never more
W1:127.9  remembered. And we raise our eyes upon a different present, where a  future shines unlike the past in every attribute.
W1:131.7  It is here today. Time is the great illusion; it is past or in the  future. Yet this cannot be, if it is where God wills His Son to be.
W1:132.3 You free the past from what you thought before. You free the  future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not want to

W1:135.2 And it is this you do when you attempt to plan the  future, activate the past, or organize the present as you wish. You

W1:135.20 Your present trust in Him is the defense which promises a  future undisturbed, without a trace of sorrow and with joy which
W1:135.20  only immortality. Let no defenses but your present trust direct the  future, and this life becomes a meaningful encounter with the truth
W1:158.3  We but undertake a journey that is over. Yet it seems to have a  future still unknown to us.
W1:169.6  It returns the mind into the endless present, where the past and  future cannot be conceived. It lies beyond salvation—past all
W1:181.3  and only this, for just a little while. We do not care about our  future goals, and what we saw an instant previous has no concern for
W1:181.4 A major hazard to success has been involvement with your past and  future goals. You have been quite preoccupied with how extremely
W1:181.4  your way again. How could this matter? For the past is gone, the  future but imagined. These concerns are but defenses against present
W1:181.6 So, for a little while, without regard to past or  future, should such blocks arise, we will transcend them with

W1:194.4  in His hands as well because the past will punish you no more and  future dread will now be meaningless.
W1:194.5 Release the  future. For the past is gone, and what is present, freed from its
W1:194.7 What worry can beset the one who gives his  future to the loving hands of God? What can he suffer? What can cause
W1:194.7  can he regard except with love? For he who has escaped all fear of  future pain has found his way to present peace and certainty of care
W1:194.8 Place, then, your  future in the hands of God. For thus you call the memory of Him to
W1:195.9  and pushed about without a thought or care for us or for our  future. Gratitude becomes the single thought we substitute for these
W1:214.1 [194] I place the  future in the hands of God. The past is gone; the future is not yet.
W1:214.1 [194] I place the future in the hands of God. The past is gone; the  future is not yet. Now am I freed from both. For what God gives can

W1:199.5  not gain thereby in power to help the world, and none which will not  gain in added gifts to you as well. We sound the call of freedom
W2:328.1  until we listen to the Voice of God. It seems that we will  gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate and that our

Tx:10.52  in place of love, and only the insane could believe that love can be  gained by attack. But the sane know that only attack could produce
Tx:21.57  both at once. Reason is alien to insanity, and those who use it have  gained a means which cannot be applied to sin. Knowledge is far
Tx:25.71  is too weak to save from punishment. But vengeance without love has  gained in strength by being separate and apart from love. And what
Tx:30.58  has been grasped and welcomed, and the means by which it can be  gained can now be understood. The world becomes a place of hope
W1:45.11  to go. Yet even with the little understanding you have already  gained, you should be able to remind yourself that this is no idle
W1:R3.9  without applying what you learned to them. As a result, you have  gained little reinforcement and have not given it the opportunity to

Tx:29.66  you have need of them no more. The dream of judgment is a children's  game in which the child becomes the father, powerful, but with the
W1:45.11  gained, you should be able to remind yourself that this is no idle  game but an exercise in holiness and an attempt to reach the Kingdom
W1:153.6  because it recognizes strength so great attack is folly or a silly  game a tired child might play when he becomes too sleepy to remember
W1:153.12 Salvation can be thought of as a  game that happy children play. It was designed by One Who loves His

W1:153.13  in a fearful world made mad by sin and guilt, be happy now. That  game is over. Now a quiet time has come in which we put away the toys

Tx:16.28  Who created you as you are. Sooner or later must everyone bridge the  gap which he imagines exists between his selves. Each one builds this
Tx:16.28  his selves. Each one builds this bridge which carries him across the  gap as soon as he is willing to expend some little effort on behalf
Tx:26.42  by love. And so you die each day to live again until you cross the  gap between past and present, which is not a gap at all. Such is each
Tx:26.42  until you cross the gap between past and present, which is not a  gap at all. Such is each life—a seeming interval from birth to

Tx:28.30  and upheld by firm belief, lest God should come to bridge the little  gap that leads to Him. Fight not His coming with illusions, for it is

Tx:28.32  grounds for sickness when the minds have joined to close the little  gap between them where the seeds of sickness seemed to grow?
Tx:28.34  nothing left behind the open door. What is the world except a little  gap perceived to tear eternity apart and break it into days and

Tx:28.42 You share confusion and you are confused, for in the  gap no stable self exists. What is the same seems different because
Tx:28.43  Holy Spirit is in both your minds, and He is One because there is no  gap that separates His Oneness from Itself. The gap between your

Tx:28.44  this is the picture that the miracle will place within the little  gap, left clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin. And here the
Tx:28.45 I thank you, Father, knowing you will come to close each little  gap that lies between the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your
Tx:28.46  not of Him has no effects. What then would you perceive within the  gap? The seeds of sickness come from the belief that there is joy in
Tx:28.46  But miracles are the result when you do not insist on seeing in the  gap what is not there. Your willingness to let illusions go is all
Tx:28.47  but a sense of limitation? Of a splitting off and separating from? A  gap perceived between [ourselves] and what is seen as health? The
Tx:28.50 You have conceived a little  gap between illusions and the truth to be the place where all your
Tx:28.51  ears and eyes perceive these countless fragments seen within the  gap which you imagined, and let them persuade their maker his
Tx:28.52  to attest its truth. Reality does not depend on this. There is no  gap which separates the truth from dreams and from illusions. Truth
Tx:28.53 You who believe there is a little  gap between you, do not understand that it is here that you are kept
Tx:28.53  not exist because the place where you perceive it is not real. The  gap is carefully concealed in fog, and misty pictures rise to cover
Tx:28.53  and changing shapes, forever unsubstantial and unsure. Yet in the  gap is nothing. And there are no awesome secrets and no darkened
Tx:28.53  tombs where terror rises from the bones of death. Look at the little  gap, and you behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that you will
Tx:28.54 Who punishes the body is insane. For here the little  gap is seen, and yet it is not here. It has not judged itself nor
Tx:28.55  takes no sides and judges not the road it travels. It perceives no  gap because it does not hate. It can be used for hate, but it cannot
Tx:28.57 The body represents the  gap between the little bit of mind you call your own and all the rest
Tx:28.58  is your wish, it can have no effects. Whoever says, “There is no  gap between my mind and yours” has kept God's promise, not his tiny
Tx:28.60  for nothing. For there is no lack in him. An empty space, a little  gap, would be a lack. And it is only there that he could want for
Tx:28.60  he could want for something he has not. A space where God is not, a  gap between the Father and the Son is not the will of either, who

Tx:28.62 Either there is a  gap between you and your brother, or you are as one. There is no in
Tx:28.65  its weakness lies not in itself but in the frailty of the little  gap of nothingness whereon it stands? What can be safe which rests
Tx:28.66  on God's promise that His Son is safe forever in Himself. What  gap can interpose itself between the safety of this shelter and its
Tx:29.1  is absent. There is nothing to be feared. There is no way in which a  gap could be conceived of in the wholeness that is His. The

Tx:29.1  in His Love. Be wary, then; let Him not come too close, and leave a  gap between you and His love through which you can escape if there be
Tx:29.2  love is fearful—hate is love. This is the consequence the little  gap must bring to those who cherish it and think that it is their

Tx:29.22  will you see your brother then and understand what really fills the  gap so long perceived as keeping you apart.
Tx:29.54  or a false belief—some form of anti-Christ which constitutes a  gap between the Christ and what you see. An idol is a wish made
Tx:29.58 Where is an idol? Nowhere! Can there be a  gap in what is infinite, a place where time can interrupt eternity? A
Tx:30.41  your will could not be satisfied with empty forms made but to fill a  gap which is not there. It is not this you want. Creation gives no
Tx:30.49  truthful ones. All idols are the false ideas you made to fill the  gap you think arose between yourself and what is true. And you attack
Tx:30.51 The  gap that is not there is filled with toys in countless forms. And
Tx:30.56  the dream of separation start to fade and disappear. For here the  gap that is not there begins to be perceived without the toys of

Tx:15.82 Think but an instant on this: God  gave the Sonship to you to ensure your perfect creation. This was His

Tx:20.24  as if it were the truth? The world you look on is the answer that it  gave you, and you have given it power to adjust the world to make its
Tx:20.38  you give, and through your not forgetting this will you remember Who  gave the gifts to Him to give to you.
Tx:20.70 The Holy Spirit guarantees that what God willed and  gave you shall be yours. This is your purpose now, and the vision
Tx:20.74  you accept this simple fact and take unto yourself the power you  gave them, you are released from them. One thing is sure—
Tx:20.77  Think but an instant just on this—you can behold the holiness God  gave His Son. And never need you think that there is something else
Tx:21.1 Projection makes perception. The world you see is what you  gave it, nothing more than that. But though it is no more than that,
Tx:21.17  Suffer, and you decided sin was your goal. Be happy, and you  gave the power of decision to Him Who must decide for God for you.
Tx:21.17  is the little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit, and even this He  gave to you to give yourself. For by this gift is given you the power
Tx:21.19  This witness is insane. You trained it in its testimony, and as it  gave it back to you, you listened and convinced yourself that what it
Tx:21.22  else. This other will, which seems to tell you what must happen, you  gave reality. And what would show you otherwise must therefore seem
Tx:21.22  simply to recognize again the presence of what you thought you  gave away.
Tx:21.40  seeing, they look past it, as do you. The faith and the belief you  gave it belongs beyond. You gave perception and belief and faith from
Tx:21.40  as do you. The faith and the belief you gave it belongs beyond. You  gave perception and belief and faith from mind to body. Let them now
Tx:22.26  What God has given to your holy relationship is there. For what He  gave the Holy Spirit to give to you, He gave. Would you not look upon
Tx:22.26  is there. For what He gave the Holy Spirit to give to you, He  gave. Would you not look upon the savior that has been given you? And
Tx:22.26  you not exchange in gratitude the function of an executioner you  gave him for the one he has in truth? Receive of him what God has
Tx:22.36  can sin? Beyond his errors is his holiness and your salvation. You  gave him not his holiness but tried to see your sins in him to save
Tx:23.42  you attack him. You give him nothing and receive of him but what you  gave.
Tx:23.49 God does not share His function with a body. He  gave the function to create unto His Son because it is His own. It is
Tx:23.50  is like the love of God. It cannot yet assume the holy function God  gave His Son, for your forgiveness of one another is not complete as
Tx:24.5  with the reality of God's creation and with the grandeur which He  gave His Son. What else could justify attack? For who could hate
Tx:24.8  not cut off from one another. What you keep is lost to you. God  gave you both Himself, and to remember this is now the only purpose
Tx:24.10  goals. And would you now defeat the goal of holiness that Heaven  gave it? What perspective can the special have that does not change
Tx:24.22 Give him but what he has, remembering God  gave Himself to both of you in equal love that both might share the
Tx:24.22  has been given him makes you complete, as it does him. God's love  gave you to him and him to you because He gave Himself. What is the
Tx:24.22  as it does him. God's love gave you to him and him to you because He  gave Himself. What is the same as God is one with Him. And only
Tx:24.25 The key you threw away God  gave your brother, whose holy hands would offer it to you when you
Tx:24.26  For it is sure he would receive it wholly the instant that he  gave it so. And thus his secret guilt would disappear, forgiven by
Tx:24.32  but only in the dream. Open your eyes a little; see the savior God  gave to you that you might look on him and give him back his
Tx:24.59 Specialness is the function which you  gave yourself. It stands for you alone, as self-created,
Tx:24.63  the powerful conviction this is you belong to him. Nothing you  gave to specialness but is his due. And nothing due him is not due to
Tx:24.66  itself. Nor will that light go out when it is gone. Its holy purpose  gave it immortality, setting another light in Heaven, where your
Tx:24.71  Such is the travesty on God's creation. For as His Son's creation  gave Him joy and witness to His love and shared His purpose, so does
Tx:25.12  ever be. The only value that the past can hold is that you learn it  gave you no rewards that you would want to keep. For only thus will
Tx:25.19  in him. He is the frame in which your holiness is set, and what God  gave him must be given you. However much he overlooks the masterpiece
Tx:25.22  and not divided in His Will. And you must have one purpose, since He  gave the same to both of you. His Will is brought together as you
Tx:25.28  before are really calls to peace. He will perceive that where he  gave attack is but another altar where he can with equal ease and far
Tx:25.40  him of all the joy he would have found if he fulfilled the role God  gave to him. But think not Heaven is lost to him alone. Nor can it be
Tx:25.41  will be your joy, when he is free to offer you the gift of sight God  gave to him for you! He has no need but this—that you allow him
Tx:25.41  need but this—that you allow him freedom to complete the task God  gave to him. Remembering but this—that what he does you do along
Tx:25.45  by you. Nor does He will that he remain without the function that He  gave to him. Let him no more be lonely, for the lonely ones are those
Tx:25.76  both, since they are equal in the Holy Spirit's sight. Their Father  gave the same inheritance to both. Who would have more or less is not
Tx:26.17  not your Father's Will that you should offer or receive less than He  gave when He created you in perfect love.
Tx:26.32 God  gave His Teacher to replace the one you made, not to conflict with
Tx:26.32  tiny instant time was gone, for that was all it ever was. What God  gave Answer to is answered and is gone.

Tx:26.51  is true in any way, and all must yield with equal ease to what God  gave as answer to them all. God's Will is One. And any wish that
Tx:26.62  purpose, they derive whatever meaning that they seem to have. God  gave to all illusions that were made another purpose that would
Tx:26.62  whatever form they took. In every miracle all healing lies, for God  gave answer to them all as one. And what is one to Him must be the
Tx:26.65  It is not arrogant to be as He created you or to make use of what He  gave to answer all His Son's mistakes and set him free. But it is
Tx:26.65  and set him free. But it is arrogant to lay aside the power that He  gave and choose a little senseless wish instead of what He wills. The
Tx:26.74  of now, which could not be the cost the Holy Spirit asks for what He  gave without a cost at all.
Tx:27.4  guilt—the witness which you send lest he forget the injuries he  gave from which you swear he never will escape. This sick and sorry
Tx:27.12  purpose, can be given it. You do not know its purpose. You but  gave illusions of a purpose to a thing you made to hide your function
Tx:27.12  without a purpose cannot hide the function that the Holy Spirit  gave. Let, then, its purpose and your function both be reconciled at
Tx:27.36  anything at all, for conflict has no limited effects. Yet if God  gave an answer, there must be a way in which your problems are
Tx:27.42  unheard, and thus the question is preserved intact because it  gave the answer to itself. The holy instant is the interval in which
Tx:27.48  eyes no longer will accuse, but shine in thanks to you who blessing  gave. The holy instant's radiance will light your eyes and give them
Tx:27.56  it is it feels. It does not know. It tells you but the names you  gave it to use when you call forth the witnesses to its reality. You
Tx:27.71  one. The dreaming of the world is but a part of your own dream you  gave away and saw as if it were its start and ending both. Yet was it
Tx:27.73  was his friend.] God willed he waken gently and with joy. And  gave him means to waken without fear. Accept the dream He gave
Tx:27.73  joy. And gave him means to waken without fear. Accept the dream He  gave instead of yours. It is not difficult to [shift] a dream when

Tx:27.75  him his illusions and give thanks to him for all the helpfulness he  gave. And do not brush aside his many gifts because he is not perfect
Tx:27.80  they are, they have no more effects on him because he understands he  gave them their effects by causing them and making them seem real.
Tx:27.82  for laughter, not a cause for fear. Let us return the dream he  gave away unto the dreamer who perceives the dream as separate from
Tx:28.2  perception, is a skill made up by you to take the place of what God  gave in your creation. And like all the things you made, it can be
Tx:28.22  in the dream. He gives himself the consequences which he dreams he  gave his brother. And it is but this the dream has put together and
Tx:29.24  in your creation, so the light in him is brighter still because you  gave your light to him to save him from the dark. And now the light
Tx:29.29 How happy would your dreams become if you were not the one who  gave the “proper” role to every figure which the dream contains. No
Tx:29.40  mind and see another purpose there. Change is the greatest gift God  gave to all that you would make eternal, to ensure that only Heaven
Tx:29.41  is no death because the living share the function their Creator  gave to them. Life's function cannot be to die. It must be life's
Tx:29.60  than God bestowed upon your brother and on you as one with Him? God  gave you all there is. And to be sure you could not lose it, did He
Tx:30.34  himself? God but ensured that you would never lose your will when He  gave you His perfect answer. Hear it now that you may be reminded of
Tx:30.37  But you will not forgive the world until you have forgiven Him Who  gave your will to you. For it is by your will the world is given
Tx:31.5 Learning is an ability you made and  gave yourselves. It was not made to do the Will of God but to uphold
Tx:31.16  you think that it is murder justified at last. You hate the one you  gave the leader's role when you would have it, and you hate as well
Tx:31.21  hears one Voice, He cannot hear a different answer from the one He  gave when God appointed Him His only Son.
Tx:31.52  your brother made of you seems most unlikely. Even if he did, who  gave the face of innocence to you? Is this your contribution? Who is,
Tx:31.55  of the self. And something must have done the learning which  gave rise to them. Nor can this be explained by either view. The main
Tx:31.69  that you should be the sign of evil and of guilt in him. And as you  gave your trust to what is good in him, you gave it to the good in

W1:66.4  not only is there a very real connection between the function God  gave you and your happiness, but that they are actually identical.

W1:73.2  or co-makers in picturing the world you see. The wishes of the ego  gave rise to it, and the ego's need for grievances, which are
W1:78.7  caused you, his neglect, and all the little and the larger hurts he  gave. We will regard his body with its flaws and better points as
W1:78.11  You have allowed the Holy Spirit to express through him the role God  gave Him that you might be saved. God thanks you for these quiet

W1:83.2  function is the one God gave me. I have no function but the one God  gave me. This recognition releases me from all conflict because it
W1:83.2  must disappear as I acknowledge that my only function is the one God  gave me.
W1:83.4  my function. This does not give me a function other than the one God  gave me. Let me not use this to justify a function God did not give

W1:123.8  hourly to think of Him and give Him thanks for everything He  gave His Son that he might rise above the world remembering his
W1:124.3  which we were created, smiles on us and offers us the happiness we  gave. Today we will not doubt His Love for us nor question His
W1:124.7  and we now would give, for we would keep the gifts our Father  gave. Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so that

W1:128.5  values we have given to the world. We leave it free of purposes we  gave its aspects and its phases and its dreams. We hold it
W1:132.9  you ever thought it was by merely changing all the thoughts that  gave it these appearances. The sick are healed as you let go all
W1:135.7  to serve you thus except your own belief? It is your mind which  gave the body all the functions that you see in it and set its value
W1:136.20  removes the limits you had placed upon the body by the purposes you  gave to it. As these are laid aside, the strength the body has will
W1:138.7  make. Such is its holy purpose, now transformed from the intent you  gave it, that it be a means for demonstrating hell is real, hope

W1:168.6  He loves His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but the words He  gave to us through His Own Voice, His Word, His Love:
W1:169.7  accomplished and complete. He recognized all that time holds and  gave it to all minds that each one might determine from a point where
W1:183.4  names of all the gods you value. They have lost the name of god you  gave them. They become anonymous and valueless to you, although

W1:183.11  Thoughts become his own. He makes his claim to all his Father  gave, is giving still, and will forever give. He calls on Him to let
W1:184.3  kept apart and holding bits of mind as separate awarenesses? You  gave these names to them, establishing perception as you wished to
W1:184.12  closed and separation healed. The Name of God is the inheritance He  gave to those who chose the teaching of the world to take the place
W1:184.13  must accept One Name for all reality, and realize the many names you  gave its aspects have distorted what you see but have not interfered

W2:230.1  my Self. How merciful is God my Father, that when He created me He  gave me peace forever. Now I ask but to be what I am. And can this be
W2:230.2 Father, I seek the peace You  gave as mine in my creation. What was given then must be here now,
W2:230.2  I am as You created me. I need but call on You to find the peace You  gave. It is Your will that gave it to Your Son.

W2:247.2  today. My brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood created them and  gave them all to me as part of You and my own Self as well. Today I
W2:WIS.1  sees illusions where the truth should be and where it really is. Sin  gave the body eyes, for what is there the sinless would behold? What
W2:255.2  this day with You. Your Son has not forgotten You. The peace You  gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to spend
W2:263.1  Mind created all that is; Your Spirit entered into it; Your Love  gave life to it. And would I look upon what You created as if it
W2:266.1 Father, You  gave me all Your Sons to be my saviors and my counselors in sight—
W2:269.1  them. It is given me to find a new perception through the Guide You  gave to me and through His lessons to surpass perception and return
W2:273.2  have me keep? I cannot lose Your gifts to me. And so the peace You  gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal
W2:276.1  purpose we have come. And yet we need but to acknowledge Him Who  gave His Word to us in our creation, to remember Him and so recall
W2:279.2  the Son Whom He created as His own. Would You withhold the gifts You  gave to me?
W2:310.2  world joins with us in our song of thankfulness and joy to Him Who  gave salvation to us, and Who set us free. We are restored to peace
W2:316.2  Your gifts today. I do not recognize them. Yet I trust that You Who  gave them will provide the means by which I can behold them, see
W2:320.1  on his strength, his peace, his joy, or any attributes his Father  gave in his creation. What he wills with his Creator and Redeemer
W2:322.2  except in dreams. As You created me, I can give up nothing You  gave me. What You did not give has no reality. What loss can I
W2:324.1 Father, You are the One Who  gave the plan for my salvation to me. You have set the way I am to
W2:328.2  at peace. And happily I share that will which You, my Father,  gave as part of me.
W2:338.2  Mine alone will fail and lead me nowhere. But the Thought You  gave me promises to lead me home, because it holds Your promise to
W2:347.1  to claim Your gift today. And so I give all judgment to the One You  gave to me to judge for me. He sees what I behold, and yet He knows
W2:WAI.2  words is almost over now. Yet in the final days of this one year we  gave to God together, you and I, we found a single purpose that we

Tx:3.30  reason we have dealt so little with cognition is because you must  get your perceptions straightened out before you can know anything.

Tx:10.82  You believe in a world that takes, because you believe that you can  get by taking. And by that perception, you have lost sight of the

Tx:15.23  of it. And whatever you offer as a substitute is much too poor a  gift to satisfy you. It is essential that you accept the fact, and
Tx:15.27  and in perfect safety in your minds, untouched by every little  gift the world of littleness would offer you. But for this, you
Tx:15.29  appointed for Himself. It is beyond all your littleness to give the  gift of God, but not beyond you. For God would give Himself through
Tx:15.57  in all your brothers as it is in you, or it would be a limited  gift to you. In the holy instant, we share our faith in God's Son
Tx:15.82  the Sonship to you to ensure your perfect creation. This was His  gift, for as He withheld Himself not from you, He withheld not His

Tx:15.93  you? And to see me is to see me in everyone and offer everyone the  gift you offer me. I am as incapable of receiving sacrifice as God
Tx:15.93  giving. And by this limitation, you have limited acceptance of the  gift I offer you.
Tx:15.94  for you. For in our union, you will accept all of our brothers. The  gift of union is the only gift that I was born to give. Give it to

Tx:20.7  of God for what he is. Forget not that it is your savior to whom the  gift is offered. Offer him thorns and you are crucified. Offer him
Tx:20.10  upon each other. You have forgiven me. And yet I cannot use your  gift of lilies while you see them not. Nor can you use what I have
Tx:20.10  have given unless you share it. The Holy Spirit's vision is no idle  gift, no plaything to be tossed about a while and laid aside. Listen

Tx:20.43  is no gift your brother's body offers you. The veil that hides the  gift hides him as well. He is the gift, and yet he knows it not. No
Tx:20.43  you. The veil that hides the gift hides him as well. He is the  gift, and yet he knows it not. No more do you. And yet, have faith

Tx:20.77  brooks that never waste away, who need persuade you to accept the  gift of vision? And after vision, who is there who could refuse what
Tx:21.13  need to have your whole relationship transformed to joy; the little  gift you offer to the Holy Spirit for which He gives you everything;
Tx:21.17  decision to Him Who must decide for God for you. This is the little  gift you offer to the Holy Spirit, and even this He gave to you to
Tx:21.17  Spirit, and even this He gave to you to give yourself. For by this  gift is given you the power to release your savior that he may give
Tx:21.19  on which your “seeing” rests. This was not given you. This was your  gift to you and to your brother. Be willing, then, to have it taken
Tx:21.37  you seek to limit Him, you will hate Him because you are afraid. The  gift that He has given you is more than anything that stands this
Tx:21.66 That you are joined is your salvation—the  gift of Heaven, not the gift of fear. Does Heaven seem to be a burden
Tx:21.66 That you are joined is your salvation—the gift of Heaven, not the  gift of fear. Does Heaven seem to be a burden to you? In madness,
Tx:22.55  lays a part of Heaven in its place. How blessed are you who let this  gift be given! Each part of Heaven that you bring is given you. And

Tx:22.65  impossible? Do not attempt to keep a little of the ego with this  gift. For it was given you to be used and not obscured. What teaches
Tx:23.30  makes your vengeance justified. Behold, unveiled, the ego's secret  gift, torn from your brother's body, hidden there in malice and in
Tx:23.30  body, hidden there in malice and in hatred for the one to whom the  gift belongs. He would deprive you of the secret ingredient which
Tx:23.42  speaks through you to your brother? The wrapping does not make the  gift you give. An empty box, however beautiful and gently given,

Tx:24.19  Not one attack you thought you made on him has taken from him the  gift that God would have him give to you. His need to give it is as

Tx:25.41  it! And how great will be your joy, when he is free to offer you the  gift of sight God gave to him for you! He has no need but this—that

Tx:25.79  not fight against His Son's reluctance to perceive salvation as a  gift from Him. Yet would His justice not be satisfied until it is
Tx:25.83  to the wholly innocent? A miracle is justice. It is not a special  gift to some to be withheld from others as less worthy, more
Tx:25.84  more unfair than he has sought to be. If miracles, the Holy Spirit's  gift, were given specially to an elect and special group and kept
Tx:25.84  He bears no witness to. And everyone is equally entitled to His  gift of healing and deliverance and peace. To give a problem to the
Tx:26.9  opened that he may come forth to shine on you and give you back the  gift of freedom by receiving it of you. What is the Holy Spirit's
Tx:26.28  gate of Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself comes to receive each  gift that brings him nearer to his home. Not one is lost, and none is
Tx:26.65  and choose a little senseless wish instead of what He wills. The  gift of God to you is limitless. There is no circumstance it cannot

Tx:27.53  parts. God thanks you for your healing, for He knows it is a  gift of love unto His Son, and therefore is it given unto Him.
Tx:28.16  Thus, the Son gives fatherhood to his Creator and receives the  gift that he has given Him. It is because he is God's Son that he

Tx:29.40  your mind and see another purpose there. Change is the greatest  gift God gave to all that you would make eternal, to ensure that only
Tx:29.56  power that it may be feared. Its life and power are its believer's  gift, and this is what the miracle restores to what has life and
Tx:29.56  what the miracle restores to what has life and power worthy of the  gift of Heaven and eternal peace. The miracle does not restore the
Tx:29.59  them and still attempts to seek for one that yet might offer him a  gift reality does not contain. Each worshiper of idols harbors hope
Tx:30.39  idol. It is not your will to have one. It will not bestow on you the  gift you seek. When you decide upon the form of what you want, you
Tx:30.72  is quite real and fully justified. While you regard it as a  gift unwarranted, it must uphold the guilt you would “forgive.”
Tx:31.71  concept of yourself because it was not made for you alone. Born as a  gift for someone not perceived to be yourself, it has been given you.
Tx:31.72  glad contrast offered you. Hold out your hand that you may have the  gift of kind forgiveness which you offer one whose need for it is
Tx:31.93 Deny me not the little  gift I ask when in exchange I lay before your feet the peace of God
Tx:31.93  everyone you see, for otherwise you will behold it not. To give this  gift is how to make it yours. And God ordained in loving kindness

W1:42.1  is His strength, not your own, that gives you power. And it is His  gift to you, rather than your own, which offers vision to you.
W1:58.5  I am unafraid, everyone must share in my understanding, which is the  gift of God to me and to the world.
W1:59.3 [42] God is my strength. Vision is His  gift. Let me not look to my own eyes to see today. Let me be willing
W1:59.3  seeing for the vision that is given by God. Christ's vision is His  gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call upon this gift today, so
W1:59.3  vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call upon this  gift today, so that this day may help me to understand eternity.
W1:62.2  yourself and the world are one. That is why all forgiveness is a  gift to yourself. Your goal is to find out who you are, having denied
W1:66.10  Which is true? Unless God gave your function to you, it must be the  gift of the ego. Does the ego really have gifts to give, being itself
W1:75.9  to vision. Understand that the Holy Spirit never fails to give the  gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe He will not fail you now. You
W1:92.10  brought unto your Self. Its strength will be the light in which the  gift of sight is given you. Leave, then, the dark a little while
W1:96.17  And all of it is given everyone who asks for it and will accept the  gift. Think, then, how much is given unto you to give this day, that
W1:97.6  He will not overlook one open mind that will accept the healing  gift they bring, and He will lay them everywhere He knows they will
W1:97.7 Thus will your  gift to Him be multiplied a thousand-fold and tens of thousands more.
W1:97.7  And when it is returned to you, it will surpass in might the little  gift you gave as much as does the radiance of the sun outshine the
W1:97.10 Expressed through you, the Holy Spirit will accept this  gift which you received of Him, increase its power, and give it back
W1:98.7 Each hour today give Him your tiny  gift of but five minutes. He will give the words you use in
W1:105.1  gifts the world can give, in which the giver loses as he gives the  gift; the taker is the richer by his loss. These are not gifts, but
W1:105.2 The truly given  gift entails no loss. It is impossible that one can gain because
W1:105.2  because another loses. This implies a limit and an insufficiency. No  gift is given thus. Such “gifts” are but a bid for a more valuable
W1:105.2  of debt to be repaid with more than was received by him who took the  gift.
W1:105.4  peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of looking at a  gift. God's gifts will never lessen when they are given away. They
W1:105.4  As Heaven's peace and joy intensify when you accept them as God's  gift to you, so does the joy of your Creator grow when you accept His
W1:105.6  as well. He cannot give through loss. No more can you. Receive His  gift of joy and peace today, and He will thank you for your gift to
W1:105.6  His gift of joy and peace today, and He will thank you for your  gift to Him.
W1:105.9  that would prevent success today. Now are you ready to accept the  gift of peace and joy which God has given you. Now are you ready to
W1:105.12  what He wills. And if a brother seems to tempt you to deny God's  gift to him, see it as but another chance to let yourself receive the
W1:107.6 When truth has come, it harbors in its wings the  gift of perfect constancy and love which does not falter in the face
W1:107.6  the face of pain but looks beyond it, steadily and sure. Here is the  gift of healing, for the truth needs no defense, and therefore no
W1:107.10  and bone but were created by the self-same thought which gave the  gift of life to Him as well. He is your brother and so like to you
W1:107.14  goes with you will carry to the world. They will increase with every  gift you give of five small minutes, and the errors that surround the
W1:108.12 Say each one slowly, and then pause a while, expecting to receive the  gift you gave, and it will come to you in the amount in which you
W1:111.3  light, and light and strength are one. I see through strength, the  gift of God to me. My weakness is the dark His gift dispels by giving
W1:111.3  through strength, the gift of God to me. My weakness is the dark His  gift dispels by giving me His strength to take its place.
W1:122.7  away in aimless wandering again. Accept salvation now. It is the  gift of God and not the world. The world can give no gifts of any
W1:124.3 What we receive is our eternal  gift to those who follow after and to those who went before or stayed
W1:124.11  the loveliness you look on is your own. Count this half hour as your  gift to God, in certainty that His return will be a sense of love you
W1:126.3  your charitable tolerance, which you bestow on one unworthy of the  gift because his sins have lowered him beneath a true equality with
W1:126.3  with you. He has no claim on your forgiveness. It holds out a  gift to him but hardly to yourself.
W1:126.4  basically unsound—a charitable whim, benevolent yet undeserved; a  gift bestowed at times, at other times withheld. Unmerited,
W1:126.4  are gracious unto him by giving him what he does not deserve, the  gift is no more yours than was his sin.
W1:126.7 Not having given Him the  gift He asks of you, you cannot recognize His gifts and think He has
W1:126.7  and think He has not given them to you. Yet would He ask you for a  gift unless it was for you? Could He be satisfied with empty gestures
W1:126.7  such petty gifts as worthy of His Son? Salvation is a better  gift than this, and true forgiveness, as the means by which it is
W1:127.7  placed upon its meager offerings and senseless gifts, and let the  gift of God replace them all.
W1:132.8 But healing is the  gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no world and can
W1:134.1  as something which entails an unfair sacrifice of righteous wrath, a  gift unjustified and undeserved, and a complete denial of the truth.
W1:134.9  forgiveness opens up to you. For if one brother has received this  gift of you, the door is open to yourself. There is a very simple way
W1:137.10  are never healed alone. And legions upon legions will receive the  gift which you receive when you are healed.
W1:137.13  of God. Is not a minute of the hour worth the giving to receive a  gift like this? Is not a little time a small expense to offer for the
W1:137.13  like this? Is not a little time a small expense to offer for the  gift of everything?
W1:137.14 Yet must we be prepared for such a  gift. And so we will begin the day with this and give ten minutes to
W1:R4.10  His Voice. Let each idea that you review that day give you the  gift which He has laid in it for you to have of Him. And we will use
W1:151.16 Such is your Eastertide. And so you lay the  gift of snow-white lilies on the world, replacing witnesses to sin
W1:152.2  inclusive to be true. Yet can truth have exceptions? If you have the  gift of everything, can loss be real? Can pain be part of peace, or
W1:152.9  and its eternal wholeness—all-encompassing, God's perfect  gift to His beloved Son.
W1:154.12  a thousand more but will not know that God Himself has left no  gift beyond what you already have nor has denied the tiniest of
W1:156.4  gratitude and gladness at your feet. The scent of flowers is their  gift to you. The waves bow down before you, and the trees extend
W1:158.5  It revealed itself to him at its appointed time. But vision is his  gift. This he can give directly, for Christ's knowledge is not lost
W1:158.11  revelation comes, for that is not of time. Yet time has still one  gift to give in which true knowledge is reflected in a way so
W1:159.6 This is the Holy Spirit's single  gift—the treasure house to which you can appeal with perfect
W1:159.7  one is stranger to him. No one asks for anything of him except the  gift of his acceptance of his welcoming.
W1:159.10  the store of miracles set out for you to give. Are you not worth the  gift when God appointed it be given you? Judge not God's Son, but
W1:159.10  Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven world. It is His  gift whereby a sweet transition can be made from death to life, from
W1:160.10  denies his brother is denying Him and thus refusing to accept the  gift of sight by which his Self is clearly recognized, his home
W1:164.7  judgment made beyond the world. Our practicing today becomes our  gift of thankfulness for our release from blindness and from misery.
W1:164.9  all suffering for joy this very day. Practice in earnest, and the  gift is yours. Would God deceive you? Can His promise fail? Can you
W1:165.4  yours today but for the asking. Nor need you perceive how great the  gift, how changed your mind will be before it comes to you. Ask to
W1:168.3 Today we ask of God the  gift He has most carefully preserved within our hearts, waiting to be
W1:168.3  preserved within our hearts, waiting to be acknowledged. This the  gift by which God leans to us and lifts us up, taking salvation's
W1:168.3  takes us in His arms and sweeps away the cobwebs of our sleep. His  gift of grace is more than just an answer. It restores all memories
W1:169.1  gently laid and willingly received, an altar clean and holy for the  gift.
W1:169.2  the world contains that those whose minds are lighted by the  gift of grace cannot believe the world of fear is real.
W1:169.11 And now we ask for grace, the final  gift salvation can bestow. Experience that grace provides will end in
W1:R5.11 Let this review be then your  gift to me. For this alone I need—that you will hear the words I
W1:185.12  created, given you by its Creator and established as His own eternal  gift. How can you fail when you but ask for what He wills for you?
W1:185.12  for you? And how could your request be limited to you alone? No  gift of God can be unshared. It is this attribute that sets the gifts
W1:185.13 No one can lose and everyone must gain whenever any  gift of God has been requested and received by anyone. God gives but
W1:186.13  no sorrow. He would make a restitution, though He is complete; a  gift to you, although He knows that you have everything already. He
W1:187.9  will take away all thought of form and leave instead the perfect  gift forever there, forever to increase, forever yours, forever given
W1:188.4  beyond all measure, given and returned. To you, the giver of the  gift, does God Himself give thanks. And in His blessing does the
W1:188.6  The light within you is sufficient. It alone has power to give the  gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world and let your thoughts
W1:189.6  Its Love Which knows us perfect as Itself, Its sight which is the  gift Its Love bestows on us. We learn the way today. It is as sure as
W1:191.5  accept his true Identity is truly saved. And his salvation is the  gift he gives to everyone in gratitude to Him Who pointed out the way
W1:191.10  to redeem the lost, to save the helpless, and to give the world the  gift of his forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark and sinful
W1:192.6  gone, you will indeed perceive that for Christ's vision and the  gift of sight no sacrifice was asked, and only pain was lifted from a
W1:194.2  to freedom on it. You are saved, and your salvation thus becomes the  gift you give the world because you have received.
W1:197.5 God blesses every  gift you give to Him and every gift is given Him because it can be
W1:197.5 God blesses every gift you give to Him and every  gift is given Him because it can be given only to yourself, and what
W1:198.1  to have will be undone. Then are you free, for freedom is your  gift, and you can now receive the gift you gave.
W1:198.1  are you free, for freedom is your gift, and you can now receive the  gift you gave.
W1:198.5  intelligent to thank the One Who gives salvation, and accept His  gift with gratitude? And is it not a kindness to yourself to hear His
W1:198.12  of Christ appears unveiled at last in this one dream. This is the  gift the Holy Spirit holds for you from God your Father. Let today be
W1:198.15  brought us here will not forsake us now. For He would give to us the  gift that God has given us through Him today. Now is it time for your
W1:199.7 Be free today, and carry freedom as your  gift to those who still believe they are enslaved within a body. Be
W1:199.7  now, and give your mind to Him Who calls to you to make this  gift to Him. For He would give you perfect freedom, perfect joy, and
W1:R6.11  completely for the way each practice period can best become a loving  gift of freedom to the world.
W2:224.1  looks to it to give it light. It lights the world as well. It is the  gift my Father gave me, the one as well I give the world. There is no
W2:224.1  my Father gave me, the one as well I give the world. There is no  gift but this that can be either given or received. This is reality,
W2:233.1  Whose tenderness I cannot comprehend but which is yet Your perfect  gift to me.
W2:236.2  thought but Yours. I rule my mind and offer it to You. Accept my  gift, for it is Yours to me.
W2:270.1 Father, Christ's vision is Your  gift to me, and it has power to translate all that the body's eyes
W2:WIHS.1  to knowledge through the grace that God has given Him, to be His  gift to everyone who turns to Him for truth. Across the bridge that
W2:WIHS.5 Accept your Father's  gift. It is a call from Love to Love that it be but itself. The Holy
W2:WIHS.5  call from Love to Love that it be but itself. The Holy Spirit is His  gift by Which the quietness of Heaven is restored to God's beloved
W2:287.1  I go but Heaven? What could be a substitute for happiness? What  gift could I prefer before the peace of God? What treasure would I
W2:295.1  He may use my eyes today and thus redeem the world. He asks this  gift that He may offer peace of mind to me and take away all terror
W2:295.2 My Father, Christ has asked a  gift of me, and one I give that it be given me. Help me to use the
W2:297.1 Forgiveness is the only  gift I give because it is the only gift I want, and everything I give
W2:297.1 Forgiveness is the only gift I give because it is the only  gift I want, and everything I give I give myself. This is salvation's
W2:304.2  Let me forgive and thus receive salvation for the world. It is Your  gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son that he may find
W2:305.2  it is Your will that we be saved. Help us today but to accept Your  gift and judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from our
W2:306.2  make an offering sufficient for Your Son. But in Your Love, the  gift of Christ is his.
W2:WILJ.1 Christ's Second Coming gives the Son of God the  gift to hear the Voice for God proclaim that what is false is false
W2:WILJ.3  hell along with you, accept this holy truth: God's Judgment is the  gift of the correction He bestowed on all your errors, freeing you
W2:311.1  and therefore judges falsely. Let us not use it today but make a  gift of it to Him Who has a different use for it. He will relieve you
W2:313.1  in. And love will come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your  gift. The eyes of Christ look on a world forgiven. In His sight are
W2:315.1  speaks a word of gratitude or mercy, and my mind perceives this  gift and takes it as its own. And everyone who finds the way to God
W2:316.1 As every  gift my brothers give is mine, so every gift I give belongs to me.
W2:316.1 As every gift my brothers give is mine, so every  gift I give belongs to me. Each one allows a past mistake to go and
W2:316.1  on the holy mind my Father loves. His grace is given me in every  gift a brother has received throughout all time and past all time as
W2:316.1  treasure house is full, and angels watch its open doors that not one  gift is lost and only more are added. Let me come to where my
W2:322.1  to give God's ancient messages to me. His memory abides in every  gift that I receive of Him. And every dream serves only to conceal
W2:333.2  the world. For this alone will never fail in anything, being Your  gift to Your beloved Son.
W2:WIM.2 A miracle contains the  gift of grace, for it is given and received as one. And thus it
W2:343.1 The end of suffering cannot be loss. The  gift of everything can but be gain. You only give. You never take
W2:343.2  mercy and the peace of God are free. Salvation has no cost. It is a  gift that must be freely given and received, and it is this that we
W2:345.1  here on earth, the miracle is closer to Your gifts than any other  gift which I can give. Then let me give this gift alone today, which,
W2:345.1  gifts than any other gift which I can give. Then let me give this  gift alone today, which, born of true forgiveness, lights the way
W2:347.1  It is sick. But You have offered freedom, and I choose to claim Your  gift today. And so I give all judgment to the One You gave to me to
W2:349.1  and make my own. It will be given me because I have chosen it as the  gift I want to give. Father, Your gifts are mine. Each one that I
W2:WAI.3  which through our joint forgiveness is redeemed. And this, our  gift, is therefore given us. We look on everyone as brothers and
W2:FL.5 We will not end this year without the  gift our Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven now. And we
M:4.7  instead; where he thought something was asked of him, he finds a  gift bestowed on him.
M:6.2  appear to have been received. It is not up to him to judge when his  gift should be accepted. Let him be certain it has been received and
M:6.3  done that, they have also given the outcome, for that is part of the  gift. No one can give if he is concerned with the result of the
M:6.3  giving itself, and neither the giver nor the receiver would have the  gift. Trust is an essential part of giving; in fact, it is the part
M:6.3  that guarantees the giver will not lose but only gain. Who gives a  gift and then remains with it to be sure it is used as the giver
M:6.4 It is the relinquishing of all concern about the  gift that makes it truly given. And it is trust that makes true
M:6.4  And it is the Holy Spirit in the mind of the giver Who gives the  gift to Him. How can it be lost ? How can it be ineffectual? How can
M:6.4  it be wasted? God's treasure house can never be empty. And if one  gift were missing, it would not be full. Yet is its fullness
M:7.1  for giving truly, and so he has not received the benefit of his  gift.
M:7.3  he can give it. If he doubts this, let him remember Who gave the  gift and Who received it. Thus is his doubt corrected. He thought the
M:7.4  the opposite of love, regardless of the form it takes. Doubt not the  gift, and it is impossible to doubt its result. This is the certainty
M:8.6  will put them all in one category—they are unreal. This is the  gift of its Teacher—the understanding that only two categories are

W1:104.1  are not welcomed gladly by a mind which has instead received the  gifts it made where His belong, as substitutes for them.
W1:104.2 Today we would remove all meaningless and self-made  gifts which we have placed upon the holy altar where God's gifts
W1:104.2  self-made gifts which we have placed upon the holy altar where God's  gifts belong. These are the gifts which are our own in truth. His are

W1:104.3 These are the  gifts which are within us now, for they are timeless. And we need not

W1:104.7 We clear a holy place within our minds before His altar, where His  gifts of peace and joy are welcome and to which we come to find what
W1:104.8  is done already and that joy and peace belong to us as His eternal  gifts. We will not let ourselves lose sight of them between the times

W1:105.3  all levels of the world you see. It strips all meaning from the  gifts you give and leaves you nothing in the ones you take. A major

W1:106.1  however loudly it may seem to call; if you will not accept its petty  gifts which give you nothing that you really want; if you will listen
W1:108.12  It might be helpful, too, to think of one to whom to give your  gifts. He represents the others, and through him you give to all.

W1:122.4 What would you want forgiveness cannot give? What  gifts but these are worthy to be sought? What fancied value, trivial

W1:122.13 Let not your  gifts recede throughout the day, as you return again to meet a world
W1:122.13  meet a world of shifting change and bleak appearances. Retain your  gifts in clear awareness as you see the changeless in the heart of
W1:122.13  the light of truth behind appearances. Be tempted not to let your  gifts slip by and drift into forgetfulness but hold them firmly in
W1:122.14 Remind yourself how precious are these  gifts with this reminder, which has power to hold your gifts in your

W1:123.2  into the real extent of all the gains which you have made; the  gifts you have received. Be glad today in loving thankfulness your
W1:123.3  to fulfill. Be thankful that your value far transcends your meager  gifts and petty judgments of the one whom God established as His Son.
W1:123.6  For He would offer you the thanks you give, since He receives your  gifts in loving gratitude and gives them back a thousand and a
W1:123.6  and a hundred thousand more than they were given. He will bless your  gifts by sharing them with you, and so they grow in power and in
W1:124.7  We have accepted and we now would give, for we would keep the  gifts our Father gave. Today we would experience ourselves at one
W1:126.7  having given Him the gift He asks of you, you cannot recognize His  gifts and think He has not given them to you. Yet would He ask you
W1:126.7  Could He be satisfied with empty gestures and evaluate such petty  gifts as worthy of His Son? Salvation is a better gift than this, and
W1:127.7  all value you have placed upon its meager offerings and senseless  gifts, and let the gift of God replace them all.
W1:135.6  no care, and no concern at all. Defend its life, or give it  gifts to make it beautiful or walls to make it safe, and you but say
W1:136.13  its purpose is. Perhaps it sighs a little when you throw away its  gifts, and yet it knows with perfect certainty that what God wills
W1:R4.11  you practice for the day unhurriedly, with time enough to see the  gifts which they contain for you, and let them be received where they
W1:142.1 [123] I thank my Father for His  gifts to me.
W1:153.17  us do the hour that is yet to come, while thanking Him for all the  gifts He gave us in the one gone by.
W1:153.21  shine from them to all their brothers come from Him. These are His  gifts to you. Defenselessness is all you need to give Him in return.
W1:154.11 We practice giving Him what He would have that we may recognize His  gifts to us. He needs our voice that He may speak through us. He
W1:154.11  will united with His own, that we may be the true receivers of the  gifts He gives.
W1:154.15  is. For as we prove that we accept no will we do not share, our many  gifts from our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into our

W1:158.11  We practice seeing with the eyes of Christ today. And by the holy  gifts we give, Christ's vision looks upon ourselves as well.
W1:162.4  it changed that it is now the treasury in which God places all His  gifts and all His Love to be distributed to all the world, increased
W1:164.3  nearer than the world are clear to you who will today accept the  gifts He gives.

W1:166.3 The  gifts of God are not acceptable to anyone who holds such strange
W1:166.3  holds such strange beliefs. He must believe that, to accept God's  gifts, however evident they may become, however urgently he may be
W1:166.5 Yet in his lonely, senseless wanderings, God's  gifts go with him, all unknown to him. He cannot lose them. But he

W1:166.11  with this one merciful reply: “It is not so.” He points to all the  gifts you have each time the thought of poverty oppresses you and
W1:166.12  had forgotten. For His touch on you has made you like Himself. The  gifts you have are not for you alone. What He has come to offer you,
W1:166.12  to make in which to hide from God. He has reminded you of all the  gifts that God has given you. He speaks as well of what becomes your
W1:166.12  He speaks as well of what becomes your will when you accept these  gifts and recognize they are your own.
W1:166.13 The  gifts are yours, entrusted to your care to give to all who chose the
W1:166.13  that comes to those who feel the touch of Christ and recognize God's  gifts. Let sorrow not tempt you to be unfaithful to your trust.
W1:166.14  touch; your change of mind becomes the proof that who accepts God's  gifts can never suffer anything. You are entrusted with the world's
W1:166.15  of what Christ's touch can offer everyone. God has entrusted all His  gifts to you. Be witness in your happiness to how transformed the
W1:166.15  to how transformed the mind becomes which chooses to accept His  gifts and feel the touch of Christ. Such is your mission now. For God
W1:166.15  Christ. Such is your mission now. For God entrusts the giving of His  gifts to all who have received them. He has shared His joy with you.
W1:169.13  grateful to return, as you were glad to go an instant and accept the  gifts that grace provided you. You carry them back to yourself. And
W1:178.3 [166] I am entrusted with the  gifts of God. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:183.10 Today you can achieve a state in which you will experience the  gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the world and give the
W1:185.12  No gift of God can be unshared. It is this attribute that sets the  gifts of God apart from every dream that ever seemed to take the
W1:188.3  all tired hearts and lights all vision as it passes by. All of its  gifts are given everyone, and everyone unites in giving thanks to you
W1:188.4  restores the memory to you as well. From you salvation radiates with  gifts beyond all measure, given and returned. To you, the giver of
W1:188.4  in His blessing does the light in you shine brighter, adding to the  gifts you have to offer to the world.
W1:189.10  it is unto You we look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your  gifts. We have no thoughts we think apart from You and cherish no
W1:193.12  who he is. And God would have him not forget His Love and all the  gifts His Love brings with it. Would you now renounce your own
W1:195.6  otherwise we offer thanks for nothing and we fail to recognize the  gifts of God to us.
W1:197.1  again unless you find external gratitude and lavish thanks. Your  gifts must be received with honor, lest they be withdrawn. And so you
W1:197.1  received with honor, lest they be withdrawn. And so you think God's  gifts are loans at best; at worst, deceptions which would cheat you
W1:197.3  for its release can only mirror yours. Your gratitude is all your  gifts require that they be a lasting offering of a thankful heart
W1:197.3  from hell forever. Is it this you would undo by taking back your  gifts because they were not honored? It is you who honor them and
W1:197.3  and give them fitting thanks, for it is you who have received the  gifts.
W1:197.4 It does not matter if another thinks your  gifts unworthy. In his mind there is a part that joins with yours in
W1:197.4  that joins with yours in thanking you. It does not matter if your  gifts seem lost and ineffectual. They are received where they are
W1:197.5  what belongs to God must be His own. Yet you will never realize His  gifts are sure, eternal, changeless, limitless, forever giving out,
W1:197.6 Withdraw the  gifts you give, and you will think that what is given you has been
W1:197.6  sins you think you see outside yourself, and you can never think the  gifts of God are lent but for a little while before He snatches them
W1:198.14  in his holiness. He needs no thoughts of mercy. Who could give him  gifts when everything is his? And who could dream of offering
W1:199.5  in power to help the world, and none which will not gain in added  gifts to you as well. We sound the call of freedom round the world
W1:199.5  with this idea. And would you be exempt from the acceptance of the  gifts you give?
W1:206.1 [186] Salvation of the world depends on me. I am entrusted with the  gifts of God because I am His Son. And I would give His gifts where

W2:WS.3  altar to the holy Name of God whereon His Word is written, with the  gifts of your forgiveness laid before it and the memory of God not
W2:233.2  no reserve at all. This is His day. And so it is a day of countless  gifts and mercies unto us.

W2:273.2  can rob me of what You would have me keep? I cannot lose Your  gifts to me. And so the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in
W2:279.2  loves the Son Whom He created as His own. Would You withhold the  gifts You gave to me?
W2:284.2  me not fail to trust in You today, accepting but the joyous as Your  gifts, accepting but the joyous as the truth.
W2:297.2  and accomplished by Your grace. Thanks be to You for Your eternal  gifts, and thanks to You for my Identity.
W2:298.2  are beside me. Certain is Your way. And I am grateful for Your holy  gifts of certain sanctuary and escape from everything that would
W2:306.2  return to You, remembering we never went away, remembering Your holy  gifts to us. In gratitude and thankfulness, we come, with empty hands
W2:315.1  treasures come to me with every passing moment. I am blessed with  gifts throughout the day, in value far beyond all things of which I
W2:315.2 I thank You, Father, for the many  gifts that come to me today and every day from every Son of God. My
W2:315.2  day from every Son of God. My brothers are unlimited in all their  gifts to me. Now may I offer them my thankfulness that gratitude to
W2:316.1  are and enter in where I am truly welcome and at home among the  gifts that God has given me.
W2:316.2 Father, I would accept Your  gifts today. I do not recognize them. Yet I trust that You Who gave
W2:322.1 I sacrifice illusions, nothing more. And as illusions go, I find the  gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome and in
W2:330.1  is already theirs? The mind that is made willing to accept God's  gifts has been restored to Spirit and extends its freedom and its
W2:334.1  that rest on false perception. Let me not accept such meager  gifts again today. God's Voice is offering the peace of God to all
W2:344.1  what can an illusion offer me? Yet he whom I forgive will give me  gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my forgiven brothers
W2:345.1 Father, a miracle reflects Your  gifts to me, Your Son. And every one I give returns to me, reminding
W2:345.1  there are no needs. But here on earth, the miracle is closer to Your  gifts than any other gift which I can give. Then let me give this
W2:349.1  me because I have chosen it as the gift I want to give. Father, Your  gifts are mine. Each one that I accept gives me a miracle to give.
W2:361.1  And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the  gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He
M:4.1  that will establish them as what they are. God gives special  gifts to His teachers because they have a special role in His plan
M:4.1 —set in time as a means of leading out of time. These special  gifts, born in the holy relationship toward which the
M:4.4  would place his faith in the shabby offerings of the ego when the  gifts of God are laid before him? What is it that induces them to
M:4.16  before them, making sure no harm can come to them. They hold His  gifts and follow in His way because God's Voice directs them in all
M:6.2  has been given, it will be received. And what is time before the  gifts of God? We have referred many times in the text to the
M:6.2  of treasures laid up equally for the giver and the receiver of God's  gifts. Not one is lost, for they can but increase. No teacher of God
M:6.3  not the function of God's teachers to evaluate the outcome of their  gifts. It is merely their function to give them. Once they have done
M:6.4  concern, then, can a teacher of God have about what becomes of his  gifts? Given by God to God, who in this holy exchange can receive
M:7.3  himself. The teacher of God is a miracle worker because he gives the  gifts he has received. Yet he must first accept them. He need do no
M:7.3  and Who received it. Thus is his doubt corrected. He thought the  gifts of God could be withdrawn. That was a mistake, but hardly one
M:15.4  can the world hold out to you, regardless of your judgments on its  gifts, that you would rather have? You will be judged, and judged in

M:23.4  called to mind. Remembering His name is to give thanks for all the  gifts that God has given you. And gratitude to God becomes the way in
M:25.5  powers. As investment has been withdrawn from the world's material  gifts, the ego has been seriously threatened. It may still be strong
M:25.6  freedom for greater imprisonment. The Holy Spirit needs these  gifts, and those who offer them to Him and Him alone go with Christ's
M:26.2  will come when this is understood. And meanwhile they give all their  gifts to the teachers of God who look to them for help, asking all
M:28.1  of the Holy Spirit's final dream. It is the recognition of the  gifts of God. It is the dream in which the body functions perfectly,

Tx:9.89 You are not free to  give up freedom, but only to deny it. You cannot do what God did not
Tx:9.94  yourself, have done this to you. You will receive the message you  give, because it is the message you want. You may believe that you
Tx:9.94  You may believe that you judge your brothers by the messages they  give you, but you have judged them by the message you give to them.
Tx:9.94  messages they give you, but you have judged them by the message you  give to them. Do not attribute your denial of joy to them, or you

Tx:10.10  Love does not limit, and what it creates is not limited. To  give without limit is God's Will for you because only this can bring

Tx:10.11  How can you give except like Him if you would know His gift to you?  Give, then, without limit and without end to learn how much He has
Tx:10.11  given you. Your ability to accept Him depends on your willingness to  give as He gives. Your fatherhood and your Father are one. God willed
Tx:10.13  conflict. God then may seem to demand of you what you do not want to  give and thus deprive you of what you want. Would God, who wants only
Tx:10.29  Comforter can comfort you. In the quiet of His temple, He waits to  give you the peace that is yours. Give His peace that you may enter
Tx:10.29  quiet of His temple, He waits to give you the peace that is yours.  Give His peace that you may enter the temple and find it waiting for
Tx:10.47  your power. Yet its one claim to your allegiance is that it can  give power to you. Without this belief, you would not listen to it at

Tx:11.16  for health is to recognize in hatred the call for love. And to  give a brother what he really wants is to offer it unto yourself, for

Tx:11.24 I once asked if you were willing to sell all you have and  give to the poor and follow me. This is what I meant: If you had no
Tx:11.39  journey to accomplishment, and the goal He sets before you He will  give you. For He will never deceive God's Son, whom He loves with the
Tx:11.58  He knows of the Father's love for Him. And knowing this, He would  give you what is yours. In perfect peace He waits for you at His
Tx:11.70  reality, for its reality is only what you gave it. You cannot really  give anything but love to anyone or anything, nor can you really
Tx:11.70  is because you have looked within and thought you saw the power to  give something else within yourself. It was only this decision that
Tx:11.83  with Him could never be content without reality. What God did not  give you has no power over you, and the attraction of love for love
Tx:12.20  You were at peace until you asked for special favor. And God did not  give it, for the request was alien to Him, and you could not ask this
Tx:12.20  an unloving father, demanding of Him what only such a father could  give. And the peace of God's Son was shattered, for he no longer

Tx:12.70 Only the Holy Spirit knows what you need. For He will  give you all things that do not block the way to light. And what else
Tx:12.75  in time. Salvation from the world lies only here. My peace I  give you. Take it of me in glad exchange for all the world has
Tx:12.76  here, but in eternity. You travel but in dreams while safe at home.  Give thanks to every part of you that you have taught how to remember
Tx:12.76  that you have taught how to remember you. Thus does the Son of God  give thanks unto his Father for his purity.
Tx:13.5  world to make Christ's vision possible even here. Help Him to  give His gift of light to all who think they wander in the darkness,
Tx:13.11  ego's laws are strict, and breaches are severely punished. Therefore  give no obedience to its laws, for they are laws of punishment. And
Tx:13.13 The world can  give you only what you gave it, for being nothing but your own
Tx:13.24  A minute, even less, will be enough to free you from the past and  give your mind in peace over to the Atonement. When everyone is
Tx:13.26  what He has saved you from. What He has saved you from is gone.  Give no reality to guilt, and see no reason for it. The Holy Spirit
Tx:13.33  belief I offer unto it. My faith in you is strong as all the love I  give my Father. My trust in you is without limit and without the fear
Tx:13.38 Nothing in this world can  give this peace, for nothing in this world is wholly shared. Perfect
Tx:13.48  they that have been thrown away. You can learn to bless and cannot  give what you have not. If, then, you offer blessing, it must have
Tx:13.48  And you must also have accepted it as yours, for how else could you  give it away?
Tx:13.50 If you decide to have and  give and be nothing except a dream, you must direct your thoughts
Tx:13.50  you must direct your thoughts unto oblivion. And if you have and  give and are everything, and all this has been denied, your thought
Tx:13.61 If you would be a happy learner, you must  give everything that you have learned over to the Holy Spirit to be
Tx:13.88  be undone for you and stand in grace before your Father, He will  give Himself to you as He has always done. Giving Himself is all He
Tx:13.91  not the Son of God and trying to teach him guilt instead of love.  Give up this frantic and insane attempt, which cheats you of the joy
Tx:14.2  apart from Him, that resembles it ever so faintly. You cannot even  give a blessing in perfect gentleness. Would you know of One Who
Tx:14.14  your altar, for it was rebuilt through you. And everything you  give to God is yours. Thus He creates, and thus must you restore.
Tx:14.18 Would you continue to  give imagined power to these strange ideas of safety? They are
Tx:14.30  of you together look on them. His judgment must prevail, and He will  give it to you as you join your perception to His. Joining with Him
Tx:14.55  remember your Father, let the Holy Spirit order your thoughts and  give only the answer with which He answers you. Everyone seeks for
Tx:14.57  that this is true. Where there is love, your brother must  give it to you because of what it is. But where there is need for
Tx:14.57  because of what it is. But where there is need for love, you must  give it because of what you are. Long ago we said this course will
Tx:14.69 Do you think that what the Holy Spirit would have you  give He would withhold from you? You have no problems which He cannot
Tx:15.12  so completely, ask yourself, “How long is an instant?” Could you not  give so short a time to the Holy Spirit for your salvation? He asks
Tx:15.12  need of more. It takes far longer to teach you how to be willing to  give Him this than for Him to use this tiny instant to offer you the
Tx:15.12  whole of Heaven. In exchange for this instant, He stands ready to  give you the remembrance of eternity.
Tx:15.13 You will never  give this holy instant to the Holy Spirit on behalf of your release
Tx:15.13  the Holy Spirit on behalf of your release while you are unwilling to  give it to your brothers on behalf of theirs. For the instant of
Tx:15.13  gives their blessed instant to you through your giving it. As you  give it, He offers it to you.
Tx:15.14 Be not unwilling to  give what you would receive of Him, for you join with Him in giving.
Tx:15.14  join with Him in giving. In the crystal cleanness of the release you  give is your instantaneous escape from guilt. You must be holy if you
Tx:15.15  eternal sanctity of God's creation, it is transformed into forever.  Give the eternal instant that eternity may be remembered for you in
Tx:15.28  up by them into a sense of magnitude that can content them. Neither  give littleness, nor accept it. All honor is due the host of God.
Tx:15.29  whom God appointed for Himself. It is beyond all your littleness to  give the gift of God, but not beyond you. For God would give Himself
Tx:15.29  to give the gift of God, but not beyond you. For God would  give Himself through you. He reaches from you to everyone and beyond
Tx:15.30  of God, when will you learn that only holiness can content you and  give you peace?
Tx:15.32  and unable to accept anything for yourself. But you will gladly  give, having received. The host of God need not seek to find anything.
Tx:15.36  Think not that you can find salvation in your own way and have it.  Give over every plan that you have made for your salvation in
Tx:15.38  will recognize in the holy instant in which you willingly and gladly  give over every plan but His. For there lies peace, perfectly clear
Tx:15.38  instant any time and anywhere you want it. In your practice, try to  give over every plan you have accepted for finding magnitude in
Tx:15.40  stated, is this: The holy instant is a time in which you receive and  give perfect communication. This means, however, that it is a time in
Tx:15.40  that it is a time in which your mind is open, both to receive and  give. It is the recognition that all minds are in communication. It
Tx:15.42  forever?” If the answer is no, then the Holy Spirit's readiness to  give it to you is not enough to make it yours, for you are not ready
Tx:15.47  lies. How can you decide that special aspects of the Sonship can  give you more than others? The past has taught you this. Yet the holy
Tx:15.54  one to you. The meaning of love is the meaning God gave to it.  Give to it any meaning apart from His, and it is impossible to
Tx:15.59  fact that, like your Father, you are an idea. And like Him, you can  give yourself completely, wholly without loss, and only with gain.
Tx:15.60  not loss, but completion. From this it follows you can only  give. And this is love, for this alone is natural under the laws of
Tx:15.62  it not. And through me the Holy Spirit gave it unto you, as you will  give it. Let no need that you perceive obscure your need of this. For
Tx:15.63  the idea of peace, for in ideas minds can communicate. If you would  give yourself as your Father gives His Self, you will learn to
Tx:15.81  completion and seek not to restore it to yourselves. Fear not to  give redemption over to your Redeemer's love. He will not fail you,
Tx:15.87  without limits is given you. But to see this, it is necessary to  give up every use the ego has for the body and to accept the fact
Tx:15.88  is the only purpose for which it was given you. Love would always  give increase. Limits are demanded by the ego, representing its
Tx:15.88  him from it, and you have denied his gift to you. His body cannot  give it. And seek it not through yours. Yet your minds are already
Tx:15.94 We who are one cannot  give separately. When you are willing to accept our relationship as
Tx:15.94  our brothers. The gift of union is the only gift that I was born to  give. Give it to me, that you may have it. The time of Christ is the
Tx:15.94  The gift of union is the only gift that I was born to give.  Give it to me, that you may have it. The time of Christ is the time
Tx:15.97 As host to the ego, you believe that you can  give all your guilt away whatever you think and purchase peace. And
Tx:15.102  alien to His Oneness can abide with Him there. Love must be total to  give Him welcome, for the Presence of Holiness creates the holiness
Tx:15.103 This Christmas,  give the Holy Spirit everything that would hurt you. Let yourself be
Tx:15.103  release is total, and when you have accepted it with me, you will  give it with me. All pain and sacrifice and littleness will disappear
Tx:15.108  of nothing? Such is the message of the time of Christ, which I  give you that you may give it and return it to the Father, Who gave
Tx:15.108  is the message of the time of Christ, which I give you that you may  give it and return it to the Father, Who gave it to me. For in the
Tx:15.111 I  give you to the Holy Spirit as part of myself. I know that you will
Tx:16.8  He will not meet them secretly, for He would share everything you  give through Him. And that is why He gives it.
Tx:16.9 What you  give through Him is for the whole Sonship, not for part of it. Leave
Tx:16.19  this and be glad. For love asks only that you be happy and will  give you everything that makes for happiness. You have never given
Tx:16.31  satisfy, but its reality, which awaits you on the other side, will  give you everything.
Tx:16.49  in return. For how much value can he place upon a self that he would  give away to get a better one?
Tx:16.67  gladly, and learn how much awaits you for the simple willingness to  give up nothing because it is nothing.
Tx:16.69  you. He needs only your willingness to share His perspective to  give it to you completely. And your willingness need not be complete
Tx:16.71  at all. How can you change the past except in fantasy? And who can  give you what you think the past deprived you of? The past is
Tx:16.77  completes His giving. You will receive because it is His Will to  give. He gave the holy instant to be given you, and it is impossible
Tx:16.80  or small, possible or impossible. There is nothing that will not  give place to Him and to His majesty. To join in close relationship
Tx:16.80  Him is to accept relationships as real and through their reality to  give over all illusions for the reality of your relationship with
Tx:17.2  things. What you use in fantasy, you deny to truth. Yet what you  give to truth to use for you is safe from fantasy.
Tx:17.3  yourself, you take away from Him Who would release you. Unless you  give it back, it is inevitable that your perspective on reality be
Tx:17.5  real and keep them by justifying your belief in them. But to  give illusions to truth is to enable truth to teach that the
Tx:17.6 Be willing, then, to  give all you have held outside the truth to Him who knows the truth
Tx:17.13 How much do you want salvation? It will  give you the real world, trembling with readiness to be given you.
Tx:17.13  with readiness to be given you. The eagerness of the Holy Spirit to  give you this is so intense He would not wait, although He waits in
Tx:17.23  and therefore unholy by seeing it where it is not and as it is not.  Give the past to Him Who can change your mind about it for you. But
Tx:17.45  for it. In its unholy condition, your goal was all that seemed to  give it meaning. Now it seems to make no sense. Many relationships

Tx:22.56  let be laid in Heaven through himself? The gentle service that you  give the Holy Spirit is service to yourself. You who are now His
Tx:22.58  serve it willingly, for what the Holy Spirit does with the gifts you  give each other, to whom He offers them, and where and when is up to
Tx:22.59  function. Leave this to Him. Let your concern be only that you  give to Him that which can be extended. Save no dark secrets that He

Tx:23.33  from salvation. How lovely do the laws of fear make death appear!  Give thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who saved the Son of God
Tx:23.40  If not, you walk alone. Ask, then, your Friend to join with you and  give you certainty of where you go.
Tx:23.42  through you to your brother? The wrapping does not make the gift you  give. An empty box, however beautiful and gently given, still
Tx:23.42  Withhold forgiveness from your brother, and you attack him. You  give him nothing and receive of him but what you gave.
Tx:23.43  is to accept but part of what you want—to take a little and  give up the rest. Salvation gives up nothing. It is complete for
Tx:24.9  of any kind between you? Look fairly at whatever makes you  give each other only partial welcome or would let you think that you
Tx:24.17  what never was, nor hear what makes no sound. Is it a sacrifice to  give up nothing and to receive the love of God forever?
Tx:24.19  you made on him has taken from him the gift that God would have him  give to you. His need to give it is as great as yours to have it. Let
Tx:24.19  from him the gift that God would have him give to you. His need to  give it is as great as yours to have it. Let him forgive you all your
Tx:24.22  Give him but what he has, remembering God gave Himself to both of you
Tx:24.26  And so he calls it “unforgivable” and makes it sin. How can he then  give his forgiveness wholly, when he would not receive it for
Tx:24.27  would protect what God created not. And yet this idol that seems to  give you power has taken it away. For you have given your brother's
Tx:24.31  to mar your rest. Forgive the Holy One the specialness He could not  give and which you made instead.
Tx:24.32  see the savior God gave to you that you might look on him and  give him back his birthright. It is yours.
Tx:24.37  in them that you would keep the gift your Father asks from Him and  give it there instead? Given to Him, the universe is yours. Offered
Tx:24.38  would be its friend. Your brother's sins would justify itself and  give it meaning that the truth denies. All that is real proclaims his
Tx:24.41  belong together, and the whole contributes nothing to the parts to  give them meaning.
Tx:24.47  His Son could never will that you be brotherless. And would He  give a brother unto you except he be as perfect as yourself and just
Tx:24.58  must be that He has given you a part of Him to save from pain and  give you happiness. And never doubt but that your specialness will

Tx:24.67  it what it is for you. It has no meaning of itself, yet you can  give reality to it according to the purpose which you serve. Here you
Tx:25.21  You need no forgiveness, for the wholly pure have never sinned.  Give then what He has given you that you may see His Son as one and
Tx:25.21  Nor believe that all His praise is given not to you. For what you  give is His, and giving it you learn to understand His gift to you.
Tx:25.21  is His, and giving it you learn to understand His gift to you. And  give the Holy Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the Son
Tx:25.22  to your brother. See not in him the sinfulness he sees, but  give him honor that you may esteem yourself and him. To each of you
Tx:25.40  have it. So must it remain useless to both. Together, it will  give to each an equal strength to save the other and save himself
Tx:25.42  or to hell as you perceive him. But forget not this—the role you  give to him is given you, and you will walk the way you pointed out
Tx:25.62  but this—a mad belief that God's insanity would make you sane and  give you what you want. That either God or you must lose to madness
Tx:25.63 The Holy Spirit can use all that you  give to Him for your salvation. But He cannot use what you withhold,
Tx:25.63  you would not learn it is your will to be without it. You need not  give it to Him wholly willingly, for if you could, you'd have no need
Tx:25.66  your little payment to “atone” for all that you would keep and not  give up. So is the victim seen as partly you, with someone else by
Tx:25.70  innocent in truth. In justice, He is bound to set them free and  give them all the honor they deserve and have denied themselves
Tx:25.71  in justice and in love believe in your confusion you have much to  give? You are not asked to trust Him far. No further than what you
Tx:25.71  than what you see He offers you and what you recognize you could not  give yourself.
Tx:25.72  Because they are the same does mercy stand at God's right hand and  give the Son of God the power to forgive himself of sin.
Tx:25.75  a witness unto his sinlessness and not his sin. How little need you  give the Holy Spirit that simple justice may be given you!
Tx:25.76  that justice is the same for everyone? To take from one to  give another must be an injustice to them both, since they are equal
Tx:25.79 To  give reluctantly is not to gain the gift because you are reluctant to
Tx:25.79  given you. God's justice warrants gratitude, not fear. Nothing you  give is lost to you or anyone, but cherished and preserved [for you]
Tx:25.84  entitled to His gift of healing and deliverance and peace. To  give a problem to the Holy Spirit to solve for you means that you
Tx:25.86  to take forgiveness for yourself. The miracle that you receive, you  give. Each one becomes an illustration of the law on which salvation
Tx:26.9  ensure the door be opened that he may come forth to shine on you and  give you back the gift of freedom by receiving it of you. What is the
Tx:26.14 You who believe it safe to  give but some mistakes to be corrected while you keep the others to
Tx:26.15  Spirit be content until it is received by everyone. For what you  give to Him is everyone's, and by your giving it can He ensure that
Tx:26.24  are but one. And in the recognition this is so lies the ability to  give up all attempts to choose between them and to make them
Tx:26.24  has been withdrawn from what was never true, can it be hard to  give it up and choose what must be true?
Tx:26.41  This terrible illusion was denied in but the time it took for God to  give His answer to illusion for all time and every circumstance. And
Tx:26.44  ones which he prefers and find the safety that the truth alone can  give? Who can believe illusions are the same and still maintain that
Tx:26.54  your brother and yourself. They limit you to time and place and  give a little space to you, another little space to him. This
Tx:26.83  and the freezing cold. And shall the Lord of Heaven and His Son  give less in gratitude for so much more?
Tx:26.84  Where He dwells, His Son dwells with Him, never separate. And They  give thanks that They are welcome made at last. Where stood a cross
Tx:27.3  The picture of yourself you offer him you show yourself and  give it all your faith. The Holy Spirit offers you to give to him a
Tx:27.3  yourself and give it all your faith. The Holy Spirit offers you to  give to him a picture of yourself in which there is no pain and no
Tx:27.34  and vacant will not need defense of any kind. For you will  give it overwhelming preference. Nor delay an instant in deciding
Tx:27.35  of power which opposes nothing. Yet no other kind can be at all.  Give welcome to the Power beyond forgiveness and beyond the world of
Tx:27.48  And being blessed, you will bring blessing. Life is given you to  give the dying world. And suffering eyes no longer will accuse, but
Tx:27.48  blessing gave. The holy instant's radiance will light your eyes and  give them sight to see beyond all suffering and see Christ's face
Tx:27.75  of counting up the hurts he gave. Forgive him his illusions and  give thanks to him for all the helpfulness he gave. And do not brush
Tx:28.7  understand what they are for. Let not the cause that you would  give them now be what it was which made them what they were or seemed
Tx:28.17  cause is given its effects. For sickness is a meaningless attempt to  give effects to causelessness and make it be a cause.
Tx:28.21  cause, it has no purpose. You may cause a dream, but never will you  give it real effects. For that would change its cause, and it is this
Tx:28.31  it is a wish to keep apart and not to join. And thus it seems to  give a cause to sickness which is not its cause. The purpose of the
Tx:28.37 Accepting the Atonement for yourself means not to  give support to someone's dream of sickness and of death. It means
Tx:28.48  as meaningless. The fear is gone from them because you did not  give them your support. Where fear has gone, there love must come
Tx:28.55  not like, although it cannot hear. It suffers not the punishment you  give because it has no feeling. It behaves in ways you want but never
Tx:29.10  loss, to find yourself in Heaven and in God? Until you realize you  give up nothing, until you understand there is no loss, you will have
Tx:29.14 You do not see how much you now can  give because of everything you have received. Yet He Who entered in
Tx:29.20  but the one who gives salvation? Thus he learns it must be his to  give. Unless he gives, he will not know he has, for giving is the
Tx:29.20  strength could fail to understand this must be so. For who could  give unless he has, and who could lose by giving what must be
Tx:29.22  is. Before this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must  give way to light. The darkness cannot choose that it remain. The
Tx:29.30  to be. He asks for help in every dream he has, and you have help to  give him if you see the function of the dream as He perceives its
Tx:29.35  would understand how great the cost of holding anything God did not  give in minds that can direct the hand to bless and lead God's Son
Tx:29.40  purpose for you and establish it as changeless and eternal. You can  give yourself a purpose that you do not have. But you can not remove
Tx:29.44  he bestows upon the body—that it seek for what he lacks and  give him what would make himself complete. And thus he wanders
Tx:29.46  that you can suffer lack, and lack is death. To sacrifice is to  give up and thus to be without and to have suffered loss. And by this
Tx:29.49  you need but to decide you do not know the purpose of the world. You  give it goals it does not have, and thus do you decide what it is
Tx:29.57  change, the peace of God, forever given to all living things,  give way to chaos, and the Son of God, as perfect, sinless and as
Tx:29.59  Each worshiper of idols harbors hope his special deities will  give him more than other men possess. It must be more. It does not
Tx:29.60  why would you seek for idols which would make of Heaven less, to  give you more than God bestowed upon your brother and on you as one
Tx:29.60  you all there is. And to be sure you could not lose it, did He also  give the same to every living thing as well. And thus is every living
Tx:29.64  has need of toys but children? They pretend they rule the world and  give their toys the power to move about and talk and think and feel
Tx:30.32  that you keep in mind, and you will have the day you want and  give it to the world by having it yourself. Your judgment has been
Tx:30.32  your decision for a happy day. And as you have received, so must you  give.
Tx:30.37 This world awaits the freedom you will  give when you have recognized that you are free. But you will not
Tx:30.41  power to complete the Son of God. What idol can be called upon to  give the Son of God what he already has?
Tx:30.42  as God created him. What idol can he need to be himself? For can he  give a part of him away? What is not whole cannot make whole. But
Tx:30.53  and understand that they are idols which but dance to vain desires.  Give them not your worship, for they are not there. Yet this is
Tx:30.56  he is. What could God's plan for his salvation be, except a means to  give him to Himself?
Tx:30.65  longer, for what lies ahead is all you ever wanted in your hearts.  Give up the world! But not to sacrifice. You never wanted it. What
Tx:30.72  forgiveness is attack. And this is all the world can ever  give. It pardons “sinners” sometimes but remains aware that they have
Tx:30.91  miracle touch not some dreams but keep their unreality obscure and  give to them reality instead. And Heaven gives no answer to the
Tx:30.94  and afraid when you are tempted by a dream of what he is. But do not  give it power to replace the changeless in him in your sight of him.
Tx:31.10  form of hate, each call to war. Yet you will recognize Him as you  give Him answer in the language that He calls. He will appear when
Tx:31.11  beyond it that appeals for peace and joy. And all the world will  give you joy and peace. For as you hear, you answer. And behold! Your
Tx:31.16  assuming it at times you want to let the follower in you arise and  give away the role of leadership. And this is what you made your
Tx:31.19 The answer that I  give my brother is what I am asking for. And what I learn of him is
Tx:31.27  you attack, for by attack do you assert that you are guilty and must  give as you deserve. And what can you deserve but what you are? If
Tx:31.27  not believe that you deserved attack, it never would occur to you to  give attack to anyone at all. Why should you? What would be the gain
Tx:31.28  itself. If you are sin, you lock the mind within the body, and you  give its purpose to its prison-house, which acts instead of it. A
Tx:31.69  of yourself and blacken it with still another “crime.” You cannot  give yourself your innocence, for you are too confused about
Tx:31.73  hope of change and keep it static and concealed within your mind.  Give it instead to Him Who understands the changes that it needs to
Tx:31.76  and you away from him. The sword of judgment is the weapon which you  give to the illusion of yourself that it may fight to keep the space
Tx:31.77  but the wish to stay in hell and misery? And what could this  give rise to but an image of yourself that can be miserable and
Tx:31.93  with everyone you see, for otherwise you will behold it not. To  give this gift is how to make it yours. And God ordained in loving
Tx:31.95  And as I would but do Your holy Will, so will they choose. And I  give thanks for them. Salvation's song will echo through the world

W1:18.1  idea for today is another step in learning that the thoughts which  give rise to what you see are never neutral or unimportant. It also
W1:20.1  you will not see if you regard yourself as being coerced and if you  give in to resentment and opposition.
W1:25.5 It is crucial to your learning to be willing to  give up the goals you have established for everything. The

W1:39.3  salvation of the world. What about your own salvation? You cannot  give what you do not have. A savior must be saved. How else can he
W1:39.7  differently. And it is your blessing on them that will save you and  give you vision.

W1:52.4  understand that I am trying to use time against God. Let me learn to  give the past away, realizing that in so doing I am giving up nothing.
W1:55.3  of God and the love of His Son. It is my own attack thoughts which  give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts will save me from this
W1:55.3  loving thoughts will save me from this perception of the world and  give me the peace God intended me to have.
W1:56.2  and complete fulfillment are my inheritance. I have tried to  give my inheritance away in exchange for the world I see. But God has
W1:57.2  me in this world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a prisoner. I would  give up my insane wishes and walk into the sunlight at last.
W1:63.2  The Son of God looks to you for his redemption. It is yours to  give him, for it belongs to you. Accept no trivial purpose or
W1:63.2  of you. You are asked to accept salvation that it may be yours to  give.
W1:66.8  it is necessary to define God as something He is not. Love cannot  give evil, and what is not happiness is evil. God cannot give what He
W1:66.8  Love cannot give evil, and what is not happiness is evil. God cannot  give what He does not have, and He cannot have what He is not. Unless

W1:83.4 My perception of this does not change my function. This does not  give me a function other than the one God gave me. Let me not use

W1:95.10  tolerance for weakness will enable us to overlook it, rather than  give it power to delay our learning. If we give it power to do this,
W1:95.10  overlook it, rather than give it power to delay our learning. If we  give it power to do this, we are regarding it as strength and are
W1:95.12  assurance, given to your mind with all the certainty that you can  give:
W1:95.20  world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet today be sure to  give the promise of today's idea and tell him this:
W1:96.15  the function that it sought to lose. Your Self will welcome it and  give it peace. Restored in strength, it will again flow out from
W1:96.17  and will accept the gift. Think, then, how much is given unto you to  give this day, that it be given you!
W1:97.3  sometimes a thousand years or more are saved. The minutes which you  give are multiplied over and over, for the miracle makes use of time
W1:97.4  these ideas becomes a time which has no length and which has no end.  Give, then, these minutes willingly, and count on Him Who promised to
W1:97.5  Give Him the minutes which He needs today to help you understand with
W1:97.10  accept this gift which you received of Him, increase its power, and  give it back to you.
W1:98.7 Each hour today  give Him your tiny gift of but five minutes. He will give the words
W1:98.7 Each hour today give Him your tiny gift of but five minutes. He will  give the words you use in practicing today's idea the deep conviction
W1:98.10  five minutes that you spend with Him, He will accept your words and  give them back to you all bright with faith and confidence so strong
W1:98.10  lose one chance to be the glad receiver of His gifts, that you may  give them to the world today.
W1:98.11  Give Him the words, and He will do the rest. He will enable you to
W1:99.18  tells you you are one. Remind yourself of this between the times you  give five minutes to be shared with Him Who shares God's plan with
W1:100.10  are His messenger today. And you must find what He would have you  give.
W1:101.9  again to find the joy these thoughts will introduce into your mind.  Give these five minutes gladly to remove the heavy load you laid upon
W1:104.1  of what you are. They come to you from God, Who cannot fail to  give you what He wills. Yet must there be a place made ready to
W1:105.1  as we receive them. They are not like to the gifts the world can  give, in which the giver loses as he gives the gift; the taker is the
W1:105.3  of the world you see. It strips all meaning from the gifts you  give and leaves you nothing in the ones you take. A major learning
W1:105.6  that what completes Him must complete His Son as well. He cannot  give through loss. No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace
W1:105.11  can today, but do not think that less is worthless when you cannot  give Him more. At least remember hourly to say the words which call
W1:105.11  more. At least remember hourly to say the words which call on Him to  give you what He wills to give and wills you to receive.
W1:105.11  to say the words which call on Him to give you what He wills to  give and wills you to receive.
W1:106.1  it may seem to call; if you will not accept its petty gifts which  give you nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an
W1:106.9 I will be still and listen to the truth. What does it mean to  give and to receive?
W1:106.12 Today the holy Word of God is kept through your receiving it to  give away, so you can teach the world what giving means by listening
W1:106.13  to the truth. I am the messenger of God today. My voice is His, to  give what I receive.
W1:107.8 Today belongs to truth.  Give truth its due, and it will give you yours. You were not meant to

W1:108.7  lesson in the obvious because it has results we cannot miss. To  give is to receive. Today we will attempt to offer peace to everyone
W1:108.9 To  give and to receive are one in truth. I will receive what I am giving
W1:108.12  what you asked. It might be helpful, too, to think of one to whom to  give your gifts. He represents the others, and through him you give
W1:108.12  to give your gifts. He represents the others, and through him you  give to all.
W1:108.14 To  give and to receive are one in truth.
W1:109.11  rest together here, for thus our rest is made complete, and what we  give today we have received already. Time is not the guardian of what
W1:109.11  today we have received already. Time is not the guardian of what we  give today. We give to those unborn and those passed by, to every
W1:109.11  received already. Time is not the guardian of what we give today. We  give to those unborn and those passed by, to every Thought of God,
W1:110.2  therefore all you need to let complete correction heal your mind and  give you perfect vision which will heal all the mistakes that any

W1:R3.6 Place the ideas within your mind and let it use them as it chooses.  Give it faith that it will use them wisely, being helped in its
W1:R3.6  will not fail. The wisdom of your mind will come to your assistance.  Give direction at the start, and then lean back in quiet faith and
W1:R3.8  you devote the first five minutes of the day to your review and also  give the last five minutes of your waking day to it. If this cannot
W1:R3.10  not lie idly by between your longer practice periods. Attempt to  give your daily two ideas a brief but serious review each hour. Use
W1:R3.10  one on the hour and the other one a half an hour later. You need not  give more than just a moment to each one.

W1:122.1 What could you want forgiveness cannot  give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you want
W1:122.4 What would you want forgiveness cannot  give? What gifts but these are worthy to be sought? What fancied
W1:122.6  all of Heaven waits for you within? Forgive and be forgiven. As you  give, you will receive. There is no plan but this for the salvation
W1:122.7  now. It is the gift of God and not the world. The world can  give no gifts of any value to a mind which has received what God has
W1:122.10 Morning and evening do we gladly  give a quarter of an hour to the search in which the end of hell is
W1:123.2  self you thought you made to take the place of Him and His creation.  Give Him thanks today.
W1:123.3  Give thanks that He has not abandoned you and that His Love forever
W1:123.3  His Love forever will remain shining on you, forever without change.  Give thanks as well that you are changeless, for the Son He loves is
W1:123.4  we go to do what is appointed us to do. We do not go alone. And we  give thanks that in our solitude a Friend has come to speak the
W1:123.6 Receive the thanks of God today, as you  give thanks to Him. For He would offer you the thanks you give, since
W1:123.6  as you give thanks to Him. For He would offer you the thanks you  give, since He receives your gifts in loving gratitude and gives them
W1:123.8  perfect is His gratitude to you. Remember hourly to think of Him and  give Him thanks for everything He gave His Son that he might rise
W1:124.1 Today we will again  give thanks for our Identity in God. Our home is safe, protection
W1:124.2  with God and with itself. How easily do errors disappear and death  give place to everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the way
W1:124.7  we can save and heal accordingly. We have accepted and we now would  give, for we would keep the gifts our Father gave. Today we would
W1:124.8  God. This is our first attempt at an extended period for which we  give no rules nor special words to guide your meditation. We will
W1:125.4 Hear, holy Son of God, your Father speak. His Voice would  give to you His holy Word to spread across the world the tidings of
W1:125.5 He has not waited until you return your mind to Him to  give His Word to you. He has not hid Himself from you while you have
W1:125.7 Three times today, at times most suitable for silence,  give ten minutes set apart from listening to the world and choose
W1:126.3 When you “forgive” a sin there is no gain to you directly. You  give charity to one unworthy merely to point out that you are better,
W1:126.5  and sure. It is an eccentricity in which you sometimes choose to  give indulgently an undeserved reprieve. Yet it remains your right to
W1:126.6  overt attack, without requiring correction in your mind. It cannot  give you peace as you perceive it. It is not a means for your release
W1:126.8  to which you are accustomed. But the Help you need is there.  Give Him your faith today and ask Him that He share your practicing
W1:126.9  Give 15 minutes twice today to the attempt to understand today's
W1:126.12 All that I  give is given to myself. The Help I need to learn that this is true
W1:127.7 Let us together, then, be glad to  give some time to God today and understand there is no better use for
W1:127.8  He Himself will place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you  give up a false belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what
W1:127.9  disappears before the timelessness of what you learn. Let us  give thanks today that we are spared a future like the past. Today we
W1:127.11  and who came to learn what you must learn. And as he comes to mind,  give him this message from your Self:
W1:128.1  that you can use in any way, nor anything at all that serves to  give you joy. Believe this thought, and you are saved from years of
W1:128.7  Give it ten minutes rest three times today. And when your eyes are
W1:129.10  and can understand. A day of grace is given you today, and we  give thanks. This day we realize that what you feared to lose was
W1:130.7 Six times today in thanks and gratitude we gladly  give five minutes to the thought which ends all compromise and doubt
W1:131.4  the world cannot dictate the goal for which you search unless you  give it power to do so. Otherwise, you still are free to choose a
W1:132.3  and release the future from your ancient fears, you find escape and  give it to the world.
W1:132.4  within your mind. The world is nothing in itself. Your mind must  give it meaning. And what you behold upon it are your wishes, acted
W1:132.5  to what was made already, hardly waiting for your thoughts to  give it meaning. Yet in truth you found exactly what you looked for
W1:132.13 Release the world! Your real creations wait for this release to  give you fatherhood, not of illusions, but as God in truth. God
W1:133.6  there is no compromise in what your choice must bring. It cannot  give you just a little, for there is no in-between. Each choice you
W1:134.15 That this may be accomplished, let us  give a quarter of an hour twice today and spend it with the Guide Who
W1:135.6  medicine, no care, and no concern at all. Defend its life, or  give it gifts to make it beautiful or walls to make it safe, and you
W1:135.23  our minds. Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may  give instead of organize. And we are given truly, as we say:
W1:135.26  It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. You  give up nothing in these times today when undefended you present
W1:136.13  to plan defenses which would alter it. Truth merely wants to  give you happiness, for such its purpose is. Perhaps it sighs a
W1:136.15  giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim today. And we will  give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth to come to us and
W1:136.16  apart from us. It merely waits for just this invitation which we  give today. We introduce it with a healing prayer to help us rise
W1:136.21  a bodily identity which will attack the body, for the mind is sick.  Give instant remedy should this occur by not allowing your
W1:137.11  they are healed and all the grace of healing it is given them to  give. What is opposed to God does not exist. And who accepts it not
W1:137.14  prepared for such a gift. And so we will begin the day with this and  give ten minutes to these thoughts with which we will conclude today
W1:137.16  through you this very day. And as you rest in quiet, be prepared to  give as you receive, to hold but what you give, and to receive the
W1:137.16  in quiet, be prepared to give as you receive, to hold but what you  give, and to receive the Word of God to take the place of all the
W1:138.12  the choice that we have made each hour in between. And now we  give the last five minutes of our waking day to the decision with
W1:R4.10  to you through His Voice. Let each idea that you review that day  give you the gift which He has laid in it for you to have of Him. And
W1:R4.11  but let them be the messages they are. We need no more than this to  give us happiness and rest and endless quiet, perfect certainty, and
W1:R4.12  thanks to you who practice thus the keeping of His Word. And as you  give your mind to the ideas for the day again before you sleep, His
W1:143.2 [126] All that I  give is given to myself.
W1:151.13  each thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and  give them back to you as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will
W1:151.14  Give Him your thoughts, and He will give them back as miracles which
W1:151.14 Give Him your thoughts, and He will  give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and
W1:151.15 Spend 15 minutes thus when you awake, and gladly  give another 15 more before you go to sleep. Your ministry begins as
W1:151.15  sanctity. No one can fail to listen when you hear the Voice for God  give honor to God's Son. And everyone will share the thoughts with
W1:151.17  we will hourly remember Him Who is salvation and deliverance. As we  give thanks the world unites with us and happily accepts our holy
W1:153.15  thought as long as possible. Five minutes now becomes the least we  give to preparation for a day in which salvation is the only goal we
W1:153.15  an hour is too short a time to spend with God. Nor will we willingly  give less at night in gratitude and joy.
W1:153.21  Him. These are His gifts to you. Defenselessness is all you need to  give Him in return. You lay aside but what was never real to look on
W1:154.5  receive the message that he brings. It is enough that he accept it,  give it to the ones for whom it is appointed, and fulfill his role in
W1:154.6  for themselves that they become able to bring them further and to  give them everywhere that they were meant to be. Like earthly
W1:154.6  receivers in the truest sense, receiving to prepare themselves to  give.
W1:154.7  them by His authority. And so they gain by every message which they  give away.
W1:154.8  become His messengers. You are appointed now. And yet you wait to  give the messages you have received, and so you do not know that they
W1:154.12  lesson for today: we will not recognize what we receive until we  give it. You have heard this said a hundred ways, a hundred times,
W1:155.4 If truth demanded they  give up the world, it would appear to them as if it asked the
W1:155.12  your effort, of your love, and of your full intent? What way could  give you more than everything or offer less and still content the
W1:157.6  vision of what you experience this day to light the world. We cannot  give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in our
W1:158.2  the world but has received it. It is not this knowledge which you  give, for that is what creation gave. All this cannot be learned.
W1:158.2  gave. All this cannot be learned. What, then, are you to learn to  give today? Our lesson yesterday evoked a theme found early in the
W1:158.5 The teacher does not  give experience because he did not learn it. It revealed itself to
W1:158.5  to him at its appointed time. But vision is his gift. This he can  give directly, for Christ's knowledge is not lost because He has a
W1:158.5  for Christ's knowledge is not lost because He has a vision He can  give to anyone who asks. The Father's Will and His are joined in
W1:158.8  achieve it. It requires but the recognition that the world cannot  give anything that faintly can compare with this in value; nor set up
W1:158.8  does not merely disappear when this has been perceived. And this you  give today—see no one as a body. Greet him as the Son of God he is,
W1:158.10 Thus do you learn to  give as you receive. And thus Christ's vision looks on you as well.
W1:158.11  comes, for that is not of time. Yet time has still one gift to  give in which true knowledge is reflected in a way so accurate its
W1:158.11  seeing with the eyes of Christ today. And by the holy gifts we  give, Christ's vision looks upon ourselves as well.
W1:159.1 No one can  give what he has not received. To give a thing requires first you
W1:159.1 No one can give what he has not received. To  give a thing requires first you have it in your own possession. Here
W1:159.1  to possess a thing, it must be kept. Salvation teaches otherwise. To  give is how to recognize you have received. It is the proof that what
W1:159.2 You understand that you are healed when you  give healing. You accept forgiveness as accomplished in yourself when
W1:159.2  do you perceive that you are whole. There is no miracle you cannot  give, for all are given you. Receive them now by opening the
W1:159.4  are born. It is their source, remaining with each miracle you  give and yet remaining yours. It is the bond by which the giver and
W1:159.8  love with which He looks on them. And they become His messengers who  give as they received.
W1:159.10 Behold the store of miracles set out for you to  give. Are you not worth the gift when God appointed it be given you?
W1:160.5  here. And so I leave my home to one more like me than myself and  give him all I thought belonged to me.” Now is he exiled of
W1:160.9  Him as a stranger, for they do not recognize themselves. Yet as they  give Him welcome, they remember. And He leads them gently home again
W1:160.10 Not one does He forget. Not one He fails to  give you to remember that your home may be complete and perfect as it
W1:161.3  made. And now it is specifics we must use in practicing. We  give them to the Holy Spirit that He may employ them for a purpose
W1:161.10  in his hands is your salvation. Ask him but for this, and he will  give it to you. Ask him not to symbolize your fear. Would you request
W1:161.14  Give me your blessing, holy Son of God. I would behold you with the
W1:164.2  you. Christ answers for you, echoing your Self, using your voice to  give His glad consent, accepting your deliverance for you.
W1:164.3  answers in your name the call He hears. How quiet is the time you  give to spend with Him beyond the world. How easily are all your
W1:165.7  and your certainty of Him. We count on God and not upon ourselves to  give us certainty. And in His Name we practice as His Word directs we
W1:166.12  for you alone. What He has come to offer you, you now must learn to  give. This is the lesson that His giving holds, for He has saved you
W1:166.13 The gifts are yours, entrusted to your care to  give to all who chose the lonely road you have escaped. They do not
W1:167.2  feelings that are not supremely happy. It is the alarm to which you  give response of any kind that is not perfect joy. All sorrow, loss,
W1:167.5  contains. In that they can go far beyond themselves. But they cannot  give birth to what was never given them. As they are made, so will
W1:167.5  made, so will their making be. As they were born, so will they then  give birth. And where they come from, there will they return.
W1:167.6  it has no source. For mind creates all things that are and cannot  give them attributes it lacks nor change its own eternal, mindful
W1:168.2  despair, for in it lies remembrance of His Love. Would He not gladly  give the means by which His Will is recognized? His grace is yours by
W1:168.4 God loves His Son. Request Him now to  give the means by which this world will disappear, and vision first
W1:169.13  do not ask for the unaskable. We do not look beyond what grace can  give. For this we can give in the grace that has been given us.
W1:169.13  We do not look beyond what grace can give. For this we can  give in the grace that has been given us.
W1:169.15 By grace I live. By grace I am released. By grace I  give. By grace I will release.
W1:170.14  us. We bring them Your salvation as we have received it now. And we  give thanks for them who render us complete. In them we see Your
W1:170.14  our peace. Holy are we because Your holiness has set us free. And we  give thanks. Amen.
W1:R5.1 We now review again. This time we are ready to  give more effort and more time to what we undertake. We recognize we
W1:R5.2  and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to  give to You. We would but listen to Your Word and make it ours. Lead
W1:R5.11  me. For this alone I need—that you will hear the words I speak and  give them to the world. You are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands,
W1:174.3 [158] Today I learn to  give as I receive. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:175.2 [159] I  give the miracles I have received. God is but Love, and therefore so
W1:176.2 [161]  Give me your blessing, holy Son of God. God is but Love, and
W1:I2.1  It is experiencing this which makes it sure that you will  give your total willingness to following the way the course sets
W1:I2.2  brings. But the experience of freedom and of peace that comes as you  give up your tight control of what you see speaks for itself. Your
W1:181.2  you behold will change accordingly. Your vision now will shift to  give support to the intent which has replaced the one you held
W1:181.3 Therefore in practicing today, we first let all such little focuses  give way to our great need to let our sinlessness become apparent. We
W1:181.10  ahead nor backwards. We look straight into the present. And we  give our trust to the experience we ask for now. Our sinlessness is

W1:183.8 Thus do we  give an invitation which can never be refused. And God will come and
W1:183.10  the gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the world and  give the world the same release you found. You can remember what the
W1:183.11  his claim to all his Father gave, is giving still, and will forever  give. He calls on Him to let all things he thought he made be
W1:184.1  surrounding it. This space you lay between all things to which you  give a different name—all happenings in terms of place and time,
W1:184.8  to what you call him, for his mind consents to take the name you  give him as his own. And thus his unity is twice denied, for you
W1:184.14  to see beyond them. Now our sight is blessed with blessings we can  give as we receive.
W1:184.15  And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. All our mistakes we  give to You, that we may be absolved of all effects our errors seemed
W1:184.15  all effects our errors seemed to have. And we accept the truth You  give in place of every one of them. Your Name is our salvation and
W1:185.4  cannot unite in dreams. They merely bargain. And what bargain can  give them the peace of God? Illusions come to take His place. And
W1:185.11  Who could be unanswered who requests an answer which is his to  give? The peace of God is yours.

W1:186.13  need His Son perceives, although He sees them not. For Love must  give, and what is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in
W1:187.1 No one can  give unless he has. In fact, giving is proof of having. We have made
W1:187.1  this. No one can doubt that you must first possess what you would  give. It is the second phase on which the world and true perception
W1:187.2 How is this possible? For it is sure that if you  give a finite thing away, your body's eyes will not perceive it
W1:187.2  thoughts that make them. And you do not lack for proof that when you  give ideas away, you strengthen them in your own mind. Perhaps the
W1:187.3 Ideas must first belong to you before you  give them. If you are to save the world, you first accept salvation
W1:187.5  Give gladly. You can only gain thereby. The thought remains and grows
W1:187.5  conceives of them. There is a giver who retains, another who will  give as well. And both must gain in this exchange, for each will have
W1:187.6 Never forget you  give but to yourself. Who understands what giving means must laugh at
W1:187.8  blessing will correct it. Given first to you, it now is yours to  give as well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure
W1:187.10  innocence has joined us all as one, we stand in blessedness and  give as we receive. The Name of God is on our lips. And as we look
W1:188.3  are given everyone, and everyone unites in giving thanks to you who  give and you who have received.
W1:188.4  given and returned. To you, the giver of the gift, does God Himself  give thanks. And in His blessing does the light in you shine
W1:188.5  of God can never be contained. Who recognizes it within himself must  give it. And the means for giving it are in his understanding. He

W1:191.10  has come in glory to redeem the lost, to save the helpless, and to  give the world the gift of his forgiveness. Who could see the world
W1:192.7  met with thanks, and joyously accepted? We are one and therefore  give up nothing. But we have indeed been given everything by God. Yet
W1:193.2  Thus he has a need for One Who can correct his erring sight and  give him vision that will lead him back to where perception ceases.
W1:193.10  their power to release all minds from bondage? These are words which  give you power over all events which seem to have been given power
W1:193.15  Give all you can and give a little more, for now we would arise in
W1:193.15 Give all you can and  give a little more, for now we would arise in haste and go unto our
W1:193.15  we saved to settle by ourselves and kept apart from healing. Let us  give them all to Him Who knows the way to look upon them so that they

W1:194.2  on it. You are saved, and your salvation thus becomes the gift you  give the world because you have received.
W1:194.6  for today as the deliverance it really is, you will not hesitate to  give as much consistent effort as you can to make it be a part of
W1:195.5 Therefore  give thanks, but in sincerity. And let your gratitude make room for
W1:195.6  our function to complete the One Who is Himself completion. We  give thanks for every living thing, for otherwise we offer thanks for
W1:196.12  holy peace of God. How kind and merciful is the idea we practice!  Give it welcome, as you should, for it is your release. It is indeed
W1:197.3  gifts because they were not honored? It is you who honor them and  give them fitting thanks, for it is you who have received the gifts.
W1:197.5 God blesses every gift you  give to Him and every gift is given Him because it can be given only
W1:197.6 Withdraw the gifts you  give, and you will think that what is given you has been withdrawn.
W1:197.9  Give thanks as you receive it. Be you free of all ingratitude to
W1:197.9  makes your Self complete. And from this Self is no one left outside.  Give thanks for all the countless channels which extend this Self.
W1:198.14  is perfect in his holiness. He needs no thoughts of mercy. Who could  give him gifts when everything is his? And who could dream of
W1:198.15  that He Who brought us here will not forsake us now. For He would  give to us the gift that God has given us through Him today. Now is
W1:199.5  idea. And would you be exempt from the acceptance of the gifts you  give?
W1:199.7  Let love replace their fears through you. Accept salvation now, and  give your mind to Him Who calls to you to make this gift to Him. For
W1:199.7  mind to Him Who calls to you to make this gift to Him. For He would  give you perfect freedom, perfect joy, and hope that finds its full
W1:R6.1  day, and practice it as often as is possible. Besides the time we  give morning and evening, which should not be less than 15 minutes,
W1:R6.1  for salvation, if it were learned truly. Each would be enough to  give release to you and to the world from every form of bondage and
W1:R6.10  expressions for specific thoughts to aid your practicing. Instead we  give these times of quiet to the Teacher Who instructs in quiet,
W1:206.1  am entrusted with the gifts of God because I am His Son. And I would  give His gifts where He intended them to be. I am not a body. I am
W1:215.1  The Holy Spirit is my only Guide. He walks with me in love. And I  give thanks to Him for showing me the way to go. I am not a body. I
W1:217.1 [197] It can be but my gratitude I earn. Who should  give thanks for my salvation but myself? And how but through
W2:I.6 I am so close to you we cannot fail. Father, we  give these holy times to You in gratitude to Him Who taught us how to
W2:I.11  while, preceding one of the holy and blessed instants in the day. We  give the first of these instructions now.
W2:221.1 Father, I come to You today to seek the peace that You alone can  give. I come in silence. In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses
W2:224.1  wholly beneficent and free from guilt that Heaven looks to it to  give it light. It lights the world as well. It is the gift my Father
W2:224.1  world as well. It is the gift my Father gave me, the one as well I  give the world. There is no gift but this that can be either given or
W2:227.1  and did not affect my own reality at all by my illusions. Now I  give them up and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be
W2:WS.5 From here we  give salvation to the world, for it is here salvation was received.
W2:233.1 Father, I  give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In place
W2:233.1  all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In place of them,  give me Your own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your
W2:233.1  I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me Your own. I  give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your will instead of
W2:233.2  we have one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk together, we will  give this day to Him with no reserve at all. This is His day. And so
W2:234.2  lose the memory of You and of Your Love. We recognize our safety and  give thanks for all the gifts You have bestowed on us, for all the
W2:236.1  whatever purpose I perceive in it. My mind can only serve. Today I  give its service to the Holy Spirit to employ as He sees fit. I thus
W2:238.1  indeed. And I must be steadfast in holiness as well, that You would  give Your Son to me in certainty that He is safe Who still is part of
W2:240.2 How foolish are our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer?  Give us faith today to recognize Your Son and set him free. Let us
W2:WIW.4  it. Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him  give you peace and certainty, which you have thrown away but Heaven
W2:242.1  to make no choices for me but the ones that lead to God. This day I  give to Him, for I would not delay my coming home, and it is He Who
W2:242.2 And so we  give today to You. We come with wholly open minds. We do not ask for
W2:242.2  open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may think we want.  Give us what You would have received by us. You know all our desires
W2:242.2  received by us. You know all our desires and our needs. And You will  give us everything we want and that will help us find the way to You.
W2:245.1  everyone I meet. I bring it to the desolate and lonely and afraid. I  give Your peace to those who suffer pain or grieve for loss or think
W2:245.2 And so we go in peace. To all the world we  give the message that we have received. And thus we come to hear the
W2:251.2 And for that peace, our Father, we  give thanks. What we denied ourselves You have restored, and only
W2:255.1  cares and must remain forever in the peace of Heaven. In his name I  give today to finding what my Father wills for me, accepting it as
W2:262.1  I perceive a thousand forms in what remains as one? Why should I  give this one a thousand names, when only one suffices? For Your Son
W2:270.1  this world! Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can  give. The world forgiven signifies Your Son acknowledges his Father,
W2:273.1  more than satisfied to learn how such a day can be achieved. If we  give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return
W2:274.1 Father, today I would let all things be as You created them and  give Your Son the honor due his sinlessness, the love of brother to
W2:274.2 A special blessing comes to us today from Him Who is our Father.  Give this day to Him and there will be no fear today because the day
W2:275.2  speak, and what to say to him, what thoughts to think, what words to  give the world. The safety that I bring is given me. Father, Your
W2:279.2 I will accept Your promises today and  give my faith to them. My Father loves the Son Whom He created as His
W2:280.2 Today let me  give honor to Your Son, for thus alone I find the way to You. Father,
W2:280.2  on the Son You love and You created limitless. The honor that I  give to him is Yours, and what is Yours belongs to me as well.
W2:286.2 The stillness of today will  give us hope that we have found the way and traveled far along it to
W2:295.2 My Father, Christ has asked a gift of me, and one I  give that it be given me. Help me to use the eyes of Christ today and
W2:297.1 Forgiveness is the only gift I  give because it is the only gift I want, and everything I give I give
W2:297.1  gift I give because it is the only gift I want, and everything I  give I give myself. This is salvation's simple formula. And I, who
W2:297.1  I give because it is the only gift I want, and everything I give I  give myself. This is salvation's simple formula. And I, who would be
W2:300.2  what to do to be restored to Heaven and our true Identity. And we  give thanks today the world endures but for an instant. We would go
W2:306.2  with empty hands and open hearts and minds, asking but what You  give. We cannot make an offering sufficient for Your Son. But in Your
W2:307.1  happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would have what only You can  give, I must accept Your will for me and enter into peace where
W2:308.1  The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future. He has come to  give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness
W2:WILJ.4  God acknowledges as His. Be not afraid of this. Salvation asks you  give it welcome. And the world awaits your glad acceptance, which
W2:316.1 As every gift my brothers  give is mine, so every gift I give belongs to me. Each one allows a
W2:316.1 As every gift my brothers give is mine, so every gift I  give belongs to me. Each one allows a past mistake to go and leave no
W2:322.1  tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome and in readiness to  give God's ancient messages to me. His memory abides in every gift
W2:322.2  And so I cannot sacrifice except in dreams. As You created me, I can  give up nothing You gave me. What You did not give has no reality.
W2:322.2  You created me, I can give up nothing You gave me. What You did not  give has no reality. What loss can I anticipate except the loss of
W2:323.1  is the only “sacrifice” You ask of Your beloved Son—You ask him to  give up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety and
W2:327.1  He has not abandoned me and loves me still, awaiting but my call to  give me all the help I need to come to Him.
W2:327.2  to try them and to judge them not. Your word is one with You. You  give the means whereby conviction comes, and surety of Your abiding
W2:330.1  forgiveness as our only function. Why should we attack our minds and  give them images of pain? Why should we teach them they are powerless
W2:334.2  You are offering to his bewildered mind and frightened heart, to  give him certainty and bring him peace? Today I would behold my
W2:343.1  cannot be loss. The gift of everything can but be gain. You only  give. You never take away. And You created me to be like You, so
W2:343.1  so sacrifice becomes impossible for me as well as You. I too must  give, and so all things are given unto me forever and forever. As I
W2:343.1  I am complete because I am Your Son. I cannot lose, for I can only  give. And everything is mine eternally.
W2:344.1  dream? And what can an illusion offer me? Yet he whom I forgive will  give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my forgiven
W2:345.1  a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your Son. And every one I  give returns to me, reminding me the law of love is universal. Even
W2:345.1  a form which can be recognized and seen to work. The miracles I  give are given back in just the form I need to help me with the
W2:345.1  the miracle is closer to Your gifts than any other gift which I can  give. Then let me give this gift alone today, which, born of true
W2:345.1  to Your gifts than any other gift which I can give. Then let me  give this gift alone today, which, born of true forgiveness, lights
W2:347.1  offered freedom, and I choose to claim Your gift today. And so I  give all judgment to the One You gave to me to judge for me. He sees
W2:349.1 So would I liberate all things I see and  give to them the freedom that I seek. For thus do I obey the law of
W2:349.1  them the freedom that I seek. For thus do I obey the law of love and  give what I would find and make my own. It will be given me because I
W2:349.1  It will be given me because I have chosen it as the gift I want to  give. Father, Your gifts are mine. Each one that I accept gives me a
W2:349.1  Your gifts are mine. Each one that I accept gives me a miracle to  give. And giving as I would receive, I learn Your healing miracles
W2:350.1  only my forgiveness teaches me to let Your memory return to me and  give it to the world in thankfulness.
W2:353.1 Father, I  give all that is mine today to Christ to use in any way that best
W2:357.1  then in me. Your Voice instructs me patiently to hear Your Word and  give as I receive. And as I look upon Your Son today, I hear Your
W2:358.1  want. You speak for God, and so You speak for me. And what You  give me comes from God Himself. Your Voice, my Father, then is mine
W2:360.1 Father, it is Your peace that I would  give, receiving it of You. I am Your Son, forever just as You created
W2:FL.1  our footsteps sure. To Him we leave these lessons, as to Him we  give our lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the
W2:361.1 And if I need a word to help me, He will  give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And if I
W2:361.1  me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also  give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these
W2:E.1  troubles you, be certain that He has the answer and will gladly  give it to you if you simply turn to Him and ask it of Him. He will
W2:E.4  difficulty and all pain that you may think is real. Nor will He  give you pleasures that will pass away, for He gives only the eternal
M:I.2  you want to teach on the basis of what you want to learn. You cannot  give to someone else, and this you learn through teaching. Teaching
M:4.7  such a demand would be. He can learn this only as he actually does  give up the valueless. Through this he learns that where he
M:4.19  world speaks of. The teacher of God does not want anything he cannot  give away because he realizes it would be valueless to him by
M:4.19  for His Son. These are the things that belong to him. These he can  give away in true generosity, protecting them forever for himself.
M:4.21  on just some problems, remaining carefully limited for a time. To  give up all problems to one Answer is to reverse the thinking of the
M:5.3  weakness is his strength. Now has he given himself what God would  give to him and thus entirely usurped the throne of his Creator.
M:5.5  it is. Special agents seem to be ministering to him, yet they but  give form to his own choice. He chooses them to bring tangible form
M:5.9  heal. It is not their voice that speaks the Word of God. They merely  give what has been given them. Very gently they call to their
M:6.3  evaluate the outcome of their gifts. It is merely their function to  give them. Once they have done that, they have also given the
M:6.3  also given the outcome, for that is part of the gift. No one can  give if he is concerned with the result of the giving. That is a
M:7.3  nor is there more that he could do. By accepting healing, he can  give it. If he doubts this, let him remember Who gave the gift and
M:9.2  This becomes easier and easier as the teacher of God learns to  give up his own judgment. The giving up of judgment, the obvious
M:12.5  of God does not make this decision alone. To do that would be to  give the body another purpose from the one that keeps it holy. God's
M:13.1  another thought system can take hold, is that it is a sacrifice to  give up the things of this world. What could this be but an illusion,
M:13.2  both to realize and to accept the fact that the world has nothing to  give. What can the sacrifice of nothing mean? It cannot mean that you
M:13.4  regret on giving up the pleasures of the world. Is it a sacrifice to  give up pain? Does an adult resent the giving up of children's toys?
M:13.7  that sacrifice is total. There are no “half sacrifices.” You cannot  give up Heaven partially. You cannot be a little bit in hell. The
M:15.4  your best efforts meet with lack of appreciation and even contempt,  give up these foolish thoughts. They are too small and meaningless to
M:16.2  lack of structuring on their own part. What must they do to learn to  give the day to God? There are some general rules which do apply,
M:16.4  an hour with closed eyes and accomplish nothing. One can as easily  give God only an instant, and in that instant join with Him
M:16.6  see in dreams. It is not so. Your safety lies not there. What you  give up is merely the illusion of protecting illusions. And it is
M:16.10  two aspects of one error and no more, he merely chooses to  give up all that he never had. And for this “sacrifice” is Heaven
M:17.2  teacher and to pupil. How many times has it been emphasized that you  give but to yourself? And where could this be better shown than in
M:17.2  need his aid? Here is his gift most clearly given him. For he will  give only what he has chosen for himself. And in this gift is his
M:17.8  not lead to condemnation, for they do not really have the power to  give rise to guilt. And so they can be overlooked and thus forgotten
M:17.9  to recognize its thought system is to look on nothing. Can nothing  give rise to anger? Hardly so. Remember then, teacher of God, that
M:23.1  be received directly. Even the most advanced of God's teachers will  give way to temptation in this world. Would it be fair if their
M:23.4  moment that the name is called to mind. Remembering His name is to  give thanks for all the gifts that God has given you. And gratitude
M:23.5  be grateful to him? He has asked for love, but only that he might  give it to you. You do not love yourself. But in his eyes your
M:26.2  do so. To those to whom such appearances would be frightening, they  give their ideas. No one can call on them in vain. Nor is there
M:26.2  them. The time will come when this is understood. And meanwhile they  give all their gifts to the teachers of God who look to them for
M:29.7  was created, so he is. In confidence I place you in His hands, and I  give thanks for you that this is so.
M:29.8  reflects your holiness, for you are not alone and friendless. I  give thanks for you and join your efforts on behalf of God, knowing

Tx:11.92  everything unworthy of the Son of God, for such was His mission,  given Him by God. And what God gives has always been.
Tx:12.15  death is more valued than your living oneness, and what is  given you is not so dear as what you made. You are more afraid of God

Tx:12.57  ensuring the real world for you when you wake. In your name He has  given for you and given you the gifts He gave. God's Son is still as
Tx:12.57  world for you when you wake. In your name He has given for you and  given you the gifts He gave. God's Son is still as loving as his
Tx:12.66  yours, being the gift of God unto His Son. Your one reality was  given you, and by it God created you as one with Him.

Tx:13.27 Now it is  given you to heal and teach, to make what will be now. As yet it is
Tx:13.40  this. Fear not the Holy Spirit will fail in what your Father has  given Him to do. The Will of God can fail in nothing.

Tx:13.70  asked of God's Son except by himself and of himself. Every chance  given him to heal is another opportunity to replace darkness with
Tx:13.72  and accept the Cause of God as yours. The power that God has  given to His Son is his, and nothing else can His Son see or choose
Tx:13.74  they do not believe that what they want is good. Yet will was  given them because it is holy and will bring to them all that they
Tx:13.81  gracious is it to decide all things through Him Whose equal love is  given equally to all alike! He leaves you no one outside yourself,

Tx:14.6  of you has a special part to play in the Atonement, but the message  given to each to share is always the same—God's Son is guiltless.
Tx:14.8 The inheritance of the Kingdom is the right of God's Son,  given him in his creation. Do not try to steal it from him, or you
Tx:14.13  holy ground. Remember for everyone your Father's power that He has  given him. Believe not that you cannot teach His perfect peace. Stand
Tx:14.29  to Him it is so easy that it was accomplished the instant it was  given Him for you. Do not delay yourselves in your return to peace by
Tx:14.29  in your return to peace by wondering how He can fulfill what God has  given Him to do. Leave that to Him Who knows. You are not asked to do
Tx:14.31 You cannot see alone. Sharing perception with Him Whom God has  given you teaches you how to recognize what you see. It is the
Tx:14.32  He is wholly faithful, for He shared with God the promise that was  given Him to share with you.
Tx:14.33  however much or little valued, He will replace with the one promise  given unto Him to lay upon the altar to your Father and His Son. No
Tx:14.36  there are you. Such is the truth. Nothing can change the knowledge  given you by God into unknowingness. Everything God created knows its
Tx:14.37  the Son, for whom it was intended. To whom God gives Himself, He is  given. Your little gifts will vanish on the altar where He has placed
Tx:14.51  anyone. There is no order of difficulty here. A call for help is  given help.
Tx:14.55  you bring with you a light so powerful that what you see is  given meaning. The lonely journey fails because it has excluded what
Tx:14.59  even dream of it. Can God learn how not to be God? And can His Son,  given all power by Him, learn to be powerless? What have you taught
Tx:14.66  to teach yourself what you do not know, the Guide Whom God has  given you will speak to you. He will take His rightful place in your
Tx:15.19  As long as you remain uncertain, it can be only because you have not  given complete release. And because of this, you have not given one
Tx:15.19  have not given complete release. And because of this, you have not  given one single instant completely to the Holy Spirit. For when you
Tx:15.20  And here it is, all in this instant, complete, accomplished, and  given wholly.
Tx:15.21  experience yourself as not separate. Fear not that you will not be  given help in this. God's Teacher and His lesson will support your
Tx:15.26  His Son, and His Son cannot be content with less than his Father has  given him. We asked you once before, “Would you be hostage to the ego
Tx:15.30  poor appreciation of yourself and all the little offerings you have  given slip into nothingness. Holy Child of God, when will you learn

Tx:15.43  none that you would keep. Innocence is not of your making. It is  given you the instant you would have it. Yet it would not be
Tx:15.65  because there is no other love. This is the only love that is fully  given and fully returned. Being complete, it asks nothing. Being
Tx:15.85  this shift entails, so you will become willing to make it permanent.  Given this willingness, it will not leave you, for it is permanent.
Tx:15.87  in awareness, the recognition of relationships without limits is  given you. But to see this, it is necessary to give up every use the
Tx:15.87  with all its might and will do so with the strength which you have  given it.
Tx:15.88  your power unto creation, which is the only purpose for which it was  given you. Love would always give increase. Limits are demanded by
Tx:15.99  the real price of not accepting this has been so great that you have  given God away rather than look at it. For if God would demand total

Tx:16.15  what it is and giving thanks for it? Honor the truth that has been  given you, and be glad you do not understand it. Miracles are natural
Tx:16.15  for you, and do not turn away from all the witnesses that He has  given you to His reality.
Tx:16.18  to see and hear them. This year, determine not to deny what has been  given you by God[. Awake and share it], for that is the only reason
Tx:16.19  will give you everything that makes for happiness. You have never  given any problem to the Holy Spirit He has not solved for you, nor
Tx:16.20 This is the year for the application of the ideas which have been  given you. For the ideas are mighty forces to be used and not held
Tx:16.37  could never be complete. No specialness can offer you what God has  given and what you are joined with Him in giving.
Tx:16.69  of your unwillingness for your release, His perfect willingness is  given you. Call upon Him, for Heaven is at His call. And let Him call
Tx:16.77 What God has  given you is truly given and will be truly received. For God's gifts
Tx:16.77 What God has given you is truly  given and will be truly received. For God's gifts have no reality
Tx:16.77  because it is His Will to give. He gave the holy instant to be  given you, and it is impossible that you receive it not, because He
Tx:16.77  teaches you is to remind you that you have received what God has  given you.
Tx:16.81  Son of God is not Your will. And let us receive only what you have  given and accept but this into the minds which You created and which
Tx:17.6  denied by both of you. And you will see forgiveness where you have  given it.
Tx:17.9  of all in God's plan of Atonement. All else is learned, but this is  given, complete and wholly perfect. No one but Him Who planned
Tx:17.13  It will give you the real world, trembling with readiness to be  given you. The eagerness of the Holy Spirit to give you this is so
Tx:17.14  only the loving thoughts you gave in the past and those that were  given you. All the rest must be forgotten. Forgiveness is a selective
Tx:17.20  hatred is remembered, yet there to come alive as the relationship is  given to Him Who gives it life and beauty. That is why Atonement
Tx:17.28  that all that is meant is that He will restore to them the function  given them by God. The function you have given them is clearly not to
Tx:17.28  to them the function given them by God. The function you have  given them is clearly not to make happy. But the holy relationship
Tx:17.35 Look at the picture. Do not let the frame distract you. This gift is  given you for your damnation, and if you take it, you will believe
Tx:17.40  a transformation of both pictures can at last occur. And each is  given its rightful place, when both are seen in relation to each
Tx:17.42  where they are. They are in us through His ascendance. What He has  given is His. It shines in every part of Him as in the whole. The
Tx:17.47  the goal more slowly, for the contrast would be obscured and the ego  given time to reinterpret each slow step according to its liking.
Tx:17.49  His answer? You are not now wholly insane. Can you deny that He has  given you a most explicit statement? Now He asks for faith a little
Tx:17.54  And it is impossible to deny yourself and recognize what has been  given and received by you.
Tx:17.56  As you begin to recognize and accept the gifts you have so freely  given to each other, you will also accept the effects of the holy
Tx:17.67 Only what you have not  given can be lacking in any situation. But remember this: the goal of
Tx:17.74  is meant to be. The meaning which the Holy Spirit's purpose has  given it is also given to every situation. It calls forth just the
Tx:17.74  be. The meaning which the Holy Spirit's purpose has given it is also  given to every situation. It calls forth just the same suspension of
Tx:17.76  instant of every situation? For such is the gift of faith, freely  given wherever faithlessness is laid aside unused. And then the power
Tx:17.76  What has been demonstrated has called for faith and has been  given it. Now it becomes a fact from which faith can no longer be
Tx:17.78  are now fully responsible to him. Fail him not now, for it has been  given you to realize what your lack of faith in him must mean to you.
Tx:18.1  once how much at variance this is with the goal the Holy Spirit has  given you and would accomplish for you. To substitute is to choose
Tx:18.13  it here, and you will give as you have accepted. The peace of God is  given you with the glowing purpose in which you join. The holy light
Tx:18.16  is laid upon you. For a time, it seems as if the world were  given you, to make it what you will. You do not realize that you are
Tx:18.21  Think not that He has forgotten anyone in the purpose He has  given you. And think not that He has forgotten you to whom He gave
Tx:18.27  other. You will succeed only in frightening yourselves. The gift is  given forever, for God Himself received it. You cannot take it back.
Tx:18.29  willing to bring the darkness to light, and this willingness has  given strength to everyone who would remain in darkness. Those who
Tx:18.36 You merely ask the question. The answer is  given. Seek not to answer it, but merely receive the answer as it is
Tx:18.36  given. Seek not to answer it, but merely receive the answer as it is  given. In preparing for the holy instant, do not attempt to make
Tx:18.59  is perceived as separate. What really happens is that you have  given up the illusion of a limited awareness and lost your fear of
Tx:18.66  cannot prepare for it without placing it in the future. Release is  given you the instant you desire it. Many have spent a lifetime in
Tx:18.67  the giving in to sin; when the light comes at last into the mind  given to contemplation; or when the goal is finally achieved by
Tx:18.68  it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is  given to a century of contemplation or of struggle against temptation.
Tx:19.2  vision does the Holy Spirit share. And since He shares it, He has  given it, and so He heals through you. It is this joining Him in a
Tx:19.6  the body must be healed, and not the mind. For this divided goal has  given both an equal reality, which could be possible only if the mind
Tx:19.7  where both must be, are recognized as dedication to illusion and  given up when brought to truth and seen as totally irreconcilable
Tx:19.12 Faith is the gift of God, through Him Whom God has  given you. Faithlessness looks upon the Son of God and judges him
Tx:19.13  sight of Him Who joined you and in Whom you are united. Grace is not  given to a body, but to a mind. And the mind that receives it looks
Tx:19.13  place where it was healed. There is the altar where the grace was  given, in which it stands. Do you, then, offer grace and blessing to
Tx:19.22  be corrected, if truth be left to judge it. But if the mistake is  given the status of truth, to what can it be brought? The “holiness”
Tx:19.34  it becomes invisible. And errors are quickly recognized and quickly  given to correction to be healed, not hidden. You will be healed of
Tx:19.35  upon each other in glad acknowledgment of the grace that has been  given you. For sin will not prevail against a union Heaven has smiled
Tx:19.35  before your holy sight, for you who were sightless have been  given vision, and you can see. Look not for what has been removed but
Tx:19.38  Call of God. And you will draw him in and give him rest, as it was  given you. All this will you do. Yet the peace which already lies
Tx:19.44  miracle of your relationship to everyone contained in it, as it was  given.
Tx:19.53 The Holy Spirit has  given you love's messengers to send instead of those you trained
Tx:19.54  messengers to remove from it and see it still. The Holy Spirit has  given you His messengers to send to each other and return to each
Tx:19.54  to each other and return to each with what love sees. They have been  given to replace the hungry dogs of fear you sent instead. And they
Tx:19.61 Is it a sacrifice or a release? What has the body really  given you that justifies your strange belief that in it lies
Tx:19.69  means and not an end. It has no purpose of itself, but only what is  given to it. The body will seem to be whatever is the means for
Tx:19.73  medium, the body receives and sends the messages that it is  given. It has no feeling for them. All of the feeling with which they
Tx:19.73  feeling for them. All of the feeling with which they are invested is  given by the sender and the receiver. The ego and the Holy Spirit
Tx:19.76 It is not  given to the ego's disciples to realize that they have dedicated
Tx:19.76  accepted it, and what is offered must also be received to be truly  given. For the Holy Spirit, too, is a communication medium, receiving
Tx:19.77 To you in whose special relationship the Holy Spirit entered, it is  given to release and be released from the dedication to death. For it
Tx:19.83 You who are dedicated to the incorruptible have been  given through your acceptance the power to release from corruption.
Tx:19.86  and quietly made ready to fulfill the mighty task for which it was  given you. Your newborn purpose is nursed by angels, cherished by the
Tx:19.87  fear can enter and disturb the peace of sinlessness? What has been  given you, even in its infancy, is in full communication with God and
Tx:19.88  of meaning, judge it not. Remember the holy Presence of the One  given to you to be the Source of judgment. Give it to Him to judge
Tx:19.94  quiet recognition that you love Him. The exaltation of the body is  given up in favor of the Spirit, which you love as you could never
Tx:19.98  together in a holy instant, here in this place where the purpose  given in a holy instant has led you. And let us join in faith that He
Tx:19.104  will receive of you what you received of him.] Redemption has been  given you to give each other, and thus receive it. Whom you forgive
Tx:19.105  condemn him. And offer thanks to God that he is holy and has been  given the gift of holiness for you. Join him in gladness and remove
Tx:19.106  and mercy are yours to give. Into the hands that give the gift is  given. Look on your brother, and see in him the gift of God you would
Tx:19.108  without which is the journey meaningless. Here is the peace of God,  given to you eternally by Him. Here is the rest and quiet that you
Tx:19.109  And he will recognize his choice by what he gives and what is  given him. Nor is it given anything in hell or Heaven to interfere
Tx:19.109  his choice by what he gives and what is given him. Nor is it  given anything in hell or Heaven to interfere with his decision.
Tx:19.110  together, still without conviction they have a purpose. Yet it is  given you to see this purpose in your holy Friend and recognize it is
Tx:20.3  with the sign of victory the promise of the resurrection already  given him. Let him not wander into the temptation of crucifixion and
Tx:20.4  between the snow white petals of the lilies you have received and  given as your gift, you will behold each other's face and recognize
Tx:20.6 Gifts are not made through bodies if they be truly  given and received. For bodies can neither offer nor accept; hold out
Tx:20.10  gift of lilies while you see them not. Nor can you use what I have  given unless you share it. The Holy Spirit's vision is no idle gift,
Tx:20.11 You have the vision now to look past all illusions. It has been  given you to see no thorns, no strangers, and no obstacles to peace.
Tx:20.11  God looks unto you for his release. For you have asked for and been  given the strength to look upon this final obstacle and see no thorns
Tx:20.24  The world you look on is the answer that it gave you, and you have  given it power to adjust the world to make its answer true. You asked
Tx:20.26  my friends, my brothers, and my Self. Your gift unto each other has  given me the certainty our union will be soon.
Tx:20.28  you lose. It is not up to you to give power at all. Power is of God,  given by Him and reawakened by the Holy Spirit, Who knows that as you
Tx:20.28  are, the Holy Spirit merely gives everything to God, Who has already  given and received all that is true. The untrue He has neither

Tx:20.34 This is the purpose  given you. Think not that your forgiveness of each other serves but

Tx:20.38  And in that single heart beat is the unity of love proclaimed and  given welcome. Peace to your holy relationship, which has the power
Tx:20.38  everyone, and in your gift is everyone made glad. Forget not Who has  given you the gifts you give, and through your not forgetting this
Tx:20.39  will never see it, but wait in patience for its coming. It will be  given you to see your brother's worth when all you want for him is
Tx:20.42  And here the limitless forgiveness you will give each other already  given; the face of Christ you yet will look upon already seen.
Tx:20.55  prisoner in a tiny spot of space and time, beholden unto death and  given but an instant in which to sigh and grieve and die in honor of

Tx:20.56  to spend this instant paying tribute to the body or let himself be  given freedom from it. Here he can accept the holy instant, offered

Tx:20.60  are difficult. Yet how can they be difficult if they are merely  given you? They guarantee the goal, and they are perfectly in line
Tx:20.66  free of condemnation. And what he sees he did not make, for it was  given him to see, as was the vision which made his seeing possible.
Tx:20.67  at first in glimpses, but they will be enough to show you what is  given you who see your brother sinless. Truth is restored to you
Tx:20.68  of joy? Your holy relationship offers all this to you. As it was  given you, so will be its effects. And as its holy purpose was not
Tx:20.68  and think not that you need make either means or end. All this is  given you who would but see your brother sinless. All this is given,
Tx:20.68  is given you who would but see your brother sinless. All this is  given, waiting on your desire but to receive it. Vision is freely
Tx:20.68  is given, waiting on your desire but to receive it. Vision is freely  given to those who ask to see.
Tx:20.69 Your brother's sinlessness is  given you in shining light, to look on with the Holy Spirit's vision
Tx:20.70  your purpose now, and the vision that makes it yours is ready to be  given. You have the vision which enables each one to see the body
Tx:21.14  release from pain, and the complete escape from sin, all to be  given you. Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here
Tx:21.17  and even this He gave to you to give yourself. For by this gift is  given you the power to release your savior that he may give salvation
Tx:21.18  Give it away, and everything you see goes with it. Never was so much  given for so little. In the holy instant is this exchange effected
Tx:21.18  do not want brought to the one you do. And here the one you do is  given you because you want it. Yet for this, the power of your
Tx:21.19  circular the reasoning on which your “seeing” rests. This was not  given you. This was your gift to you and to your brother. Be willing,
Tx:21.19  with truth. And as you look upon the change in him, it will be  given you to see it in yourself.
Tx:21.33  Faithlessness is not a lack of faith, but faith in nothing. Faith  given to illusions does not lack power, for by it does the Son of God
Tx:21.36  to place its power elsewhere should another point of view be  given them. The miracles which follow this decision are also born of
Tx:21.36  are also born of faith. For all who choose to look away from sin are  given vision and are led to holiness.
Tx:21.37  Him, you will hate Him because you are afraid. The gift that He has  given you is more than anything that stands this side of Heaven. The
Tx:21.38 Your faith in sacrifice has  given it great power in your sight, except you do not realize you
Tx:21.40  perception and belief and faith from mind to body. Let them now be  given back to what produced them and can use them still to save
Tx:21.47  relationship on earth. And earth can hold no longer what has been  given Heaven as its own.
Tx:21.53  exist. And if it exists for you and has your freedom as the purpose  given it, you must be free to find it.
Tx:21.65  and seeks not to frighten you. The power to heal the Son of God is  given you because he must be one with you. You are responsible for
Tx:21.65  are responsible for how he sees himself. And reason tells you it is  given you to change his whole mind, which is one with you, in just an
Tx:21.65  is his whole salvation seen as complete with yours. Reason is  given you to understand that this is so. For reason, kind as is the
Tx:21.67  yours. Reason speaks happily indeed of this. This gracious plan was  given love by Love. And what Love plans is like Itself in this: being
Tx:21.67  have you learn what you must be. And being one with It, it must be  given you to give what It has given and gives still. Spend but an
Tx:21.67  be. And being one with It, it must be given you to give what It has  given and gives still. Spend but an instant in the glad acceptance of
Tx:21.67  gives still. Spend but an instant in the glad acceptance of what is  given you to give your brother, and learn with him what has been
Tx:21.67  is given you to give your brother, and learn with him what has been  given both of you. To give is no more blessed than to receive. But
Tx:21.80  an enemy in which you are not helpless, the means to see it will be  given you.
Tx:21.84  perceived except through constant vision. And constant vision can be  given only those who wish for constancy. The power of the Son of
Tx:21.88  by one whom God Himself will never fail to answer. God has already  given him all that he really wants. Yet what he is uncertain of, God
Tx:21.90  is the holy instant but God's appeal to you to recognize what He has  given you? Here is the great appeal to reason; the awareness of what
Tx:21.90  For here the final question is already answered and what you ask for  given. Here is the future now, for time is powerless because of your
Tx:22.9 Your sight was  given you, along with everything that you can understand. You will
Tx:22.11  not nurtured by the “something else” you thought was you. He was not  given there, nor was received by anything except yourself. For no two
Tx:22.12 Think what is  given you, my holy brothers. This child will teach you what you do
Tx:22.20  is like its source. Therefore, says reason, if escape from guilt was  given to the Holy Spirit as His purpose, and by One to Whom nothing
Tx:22.26  recognize him for what he is if God would have it so. What God has  given to your holy relationship is there. For what He gave the Holy
Tx:22.26  to you, He gave. Would you not look upon the savior that has been  given you? And would you not exchange in gratitude the function of an
Tx:22.26  gave him for the one he has in truth? Receive of him what God has  given him for you, not what you tried to give yourself.
Tx:22.28  with Christ is share His vision. Quickly and gladly is His vision  given to anyone who is but willing to see his brother sinless. And no
Tx:22.31  peace and brings you to a state of mind in which salvation can be  given you. Sin is a block, set like a heavy gate, locked and without
Tx:22.42  So shall you walk the world with me, whose message has not yet been  given to everyone. For you are here to let it be received. God's
Tx:22.42  have accepted it is it received. Into your joined hands is it safely  given, for you who share it have become its willing guardians and
Tx:22.43 To all who share the love of God, the grace is  given to be the givers of what they have received. And so they learn
Tx:22.44  could find it difficult. For by receiving it, he learned it was not  given him alone. Such is the function of a holy relationship—to
Tx:22.54  not at all. Nothing entrusted to it can be misused, and nothing  given it but will be used. This holy relationship has the power to
Tx:22.55  of Heaven in its place. How blessed are you who let this gift be  given! Each part of Heaven that you bring is given you. And every
Tx:22.55  who let this gift be given! Each part of Heaven that you bring is  given you. And every empty place in Heaven that you fill again with
Tx:22.58  Seek not to change it nor to substitute another goal. [This one was  given you and only this.] Accept this one and serve it willingly, for
Tx:22.59  limit it in any way. He will join to it all the power that God has  given Him to make each little gift of love a source of healing for
Tx:22.65  not attempt to keep a little of the ego with this gift. For it was  given you to be used and not obscured. What teaches you you cannot
Tx:23.6  light of Heaven in it. So will you come to understand all that is  given you. In kind forgiveness will the world sparkle and shine and
Tx:23.16  You dwell in peace as limitless as its Creator, and everything is  given those who would remember Him. Over His home the Holy Spirit
Tx:23.42  make the gift you give. An empty box, however beautiful and gently  given, still contains nothing. And neither the receiver nor the giver
Tx:23.53  You have no reference-point from where to look, where meaning can be  given what you see. For only bodies could attack and murder, and if
Tx:23.54 Think what is  given those who share their Father's purpose and who know that it is
Tx:24.1  this course is the attainment and the keeping of the state of peace.  Given this state the mind is quiet, and the condition in which God is
Tx:24.3  one alternative that you can choose for love. Your choosing it has  given it all the reality it seems to have.
Tx:24.4  decisions have been made and kept hidden to become beliefs, now  given power to direct all subsequent decisions. Mistake you not the
Tx:24.8  Father created him like you. There is no difference. You have been  given to each other that love might be extended, not cut off from one
Tx:24.18 You who have chained your savior to your specialness and  given it his place, remember this: He has not lost the power to
Tx:24.18  sins you think you placed between him and the function of salvation  given him for you. Nor will you change his function, any more than
Tx:24.21  for He would not keep one part of what He is unto Himself, not  given to His Son but kept for Him alone. And it is this you fear, for
Tx:24.22  can it be that you have lost because he is complete? What has been  given him makes you complete, as it does him. God's love gave you to
Tx:24.23  treachery upon the gift of love. Whatever serves its purpose must be  given to kill. No gift that bears its seal but offers treachery to
Tx:24.27  idol that seems to give you power has taken it away. For you have  given your brother's birthright to it, leaving him alone and
Tx:24.37  keep the gift your Father asks from Him and give it there instead?  Given to Him, the universe is yours. Offered to them, no gifts can be
Tx:24.37  is yours. Offered to them, no gifts can be returned. What you have  given specialness has left you bankrupt and your treasure house
Tx:24.39  you appointed to be your savior and crucified the one whom God has  given you instead. So are you bound with him, for you are one. And so
Tx:24.44  they serve a different purpose, the strength their purpose holds is  given them. And what they see and hear and hold and lead is given
Tx:24.44  holds is given them. And what they see and hear and hold and lead is  given light that you may lead as you were led.
Tx:24.52  and will not escape its laws of violence and death. Yet it is  given you to be beyond its laws in all respects, in every way, and
Tx:24.56  nor you who see him truly. His mistakes can cause delay, which it is  given you to take from him that both may end a journey that has never
Tx:24.57  risen from the past. He who condemned himself, and you as well, is  given you to save from condemnation along with you. And both shall
Tx:24.58  Think, then, how great the love of God for you must be that He has  given you a part of Him to save from pain and give you happiness. And
Tx:24.60  forth, and all the power of Heaven and the might of truth itself is  given to provide the means and guarantee the goal's accomplishment.
Tx:24.63  your seeing it in him, returns to you. All of the tribute you have  given specialness belongs to him and thus returns to you. All of the
Tx:24.64  for if it were, you would be lost indeed. Be thankful, rather, it is  given you to see his holiness because it is the truth. And what is
Tx:24.67  what this condition means. Not till you go past learning to the  Given; not till you make again a holy home for your creations is it
Tx:24.72  goal. It is not bound to specialness but by your choice. And it is  given you to make a different choice and use perception for a
Tx:25.8  too. Not that it is in truth, but that the link that has been  given you to join the truth may reach to you through what you
Tx:25.17  when you choose to see it in its place. The frame that God has  given it but serves His purpose, not yours apart from His. It is your
Tx:25.18  it safe that you might look on it and see the holiness that He has  given it.
Tx:25.19  frame in which your holiness is set, and what God gave him must be  given you. However much he overlooks the masterpiece in him and sees
Tx:25.21  for the wholly pure have never sinned. Give then what He has  given you that you may see His Son as one and thank his Father as He
Tx:25.21  his Father as He thanks you. Nor believe that all His praise is  given not to you. For what you give is His, and giving it you learn
Tx:25.22  him honor that you may esteem yourself and him. To each of you is  given the power of salvation that escape from darkness into light be
Tx:25.22  as one what never has been separate nor apart from all God's love as  given equally.
Tx:25.28  but his choice. And when he chooses to avail himself of what is  given him, then will he see each situation that he thought before was
Tx:25.28  nothing except a chance for you to see the workings of the Helper  given you to see the world He made, instead of yours.
Tx:25.36 In you is all of Heaven. Every leaf that falls is  given life in you. Each bird that ever sang will sing again in you.
Tx:25.39  beneath the ego's senseless shrieks, such is the call that God has  given him that you might hear in him His Call to you and answer by
Tx:25.42  you perceive him. But forget not this—the role you give to him is  given you, and you will walk the way you pointed out to him because
Tx:25.47  to one perceived as other than himself, he learns the gift was  given to himself, and so they must be one. Forgiveness is the only
Tx:25.49  Think not you lack a special value here. You wanted it, and it is  given you. All that you made can serve salvation easily and well. The
Tx:25.49  and will remain in time and in eternity alike. This is the function  given each of you for one another. Take it gently then from one
Tx:25.49  fulfilled in both of you. Do this one thing, that everything be  given you.
Tx:25.57  of everyone who chose insanity as his salvation. To this One is  given the choice of form most suitable to him; one which will not
Tx:25.73  come to plead for him and not against his life? No justice would be  given him by you. Yet God ensured that justice would be done unto the
Tx:25.75  How little need you give the Holy Spirit that simple justice may be  given you!
Tx:25.79  until reluctance to receive it disappears and you are willing it be  given you. God's justice warrants gratitude, not fear. Nothing you
Tx:25.79  and preserved [for you] in Heaven, where all of the treasures  given to God's Son are kept for him and offered anyone who but holds
Tx:25.79  in willingness they be received. Nor is the treasure less as it is  given out. Each gift [received] but adds to the supply. For God is
Tx:25.84  than he has sought to be. If miracles, the Holy Spirit's gift, were  given specially to an elect and special group and kept apart from
Tx:25.87  accomplish when it is offered to everyone alike. It is received and  given equally. It is awareness that giving and receiving are the
Tx:26.4  Nor can his song of union and of love be heard at all. Yet is it  given him to make the world recede before his song and sight of him
Tx:26.6  you will hear no song of liberation for yourself nor see what it is  given him to witness to that you may see it and rejoice with him.
Tx:26.7 Yet every instant can you be reborn and  given life again. His holiness gives life to you, who cannot die
Tx:26.8  of life or death. For neither did he make, and only one was  given him by One Who knows His gifts can never suffer sacrifice and
Tx:26.15  entirely. Consider once again your special function. One is  given you to see in him his perfect sinlessness. And you will ask no
Tx:26.17  and undefiled. And all you need to do is but to wish that Heaven be  given you instead of hell, and every bolt and barrier that seems to
Tx:26.45  God's Son, nor one with which he could remain content. Yet God has  given him a better Friend in Whom all power in earth and Heaven
Tx:26.46  gifts that are not of this world, and only He to whom they have been  given can make sure that you receive them. He will place them on your
Tx:26.49  knowledge is not true of anything that is apart from it. Yet has God  given answer to the world of sickness which applies to all its forms.
Tx:26.51  to truth than are the rest. But it is possible that some are  given greater value and less willingly offered to truth for healing
Tx:26.64  and hate is answered in the name of love. To you to whom it has been  given to save the Son of God from crucifixion and from hell and
Tx:26.65 To use the power God has  given you as He would have it used is natural. It is not arrogant to
Tx:26.70  the interval between the time in which forgiveness is withheld and  given seem dangerous, with terror justified.
Tx:26.72  laid within the future, where you cannot plan. No purpose has been  given it as yet, and what will happen has as yet no cause. Who can
Tx:26.74  clearly hints at punishment until the time of liberation is at hand.  Given a change of purpose for the good, there is no reason for an
Tx:26.80  passes to nothingness when They have come. What hatred claimed is  given up to love, and freedom lights up every living thing and lifts
Tx:26.81  What has been locked is opened; what was held apart from light is  given up, that light may shine on it, and leave no space nor distance
Tx:26.86  For otherwise, how could some be evaluated as unfair? Some then are  given meaning and perceived as sensible. And only some are seen as
Tx:26.89  your whole relationship. And this you seek to add unto the purpose  given it. The Holy Spirit's purpose is to let the Presence of your
Tx:27.10  it is for. Now is it not condemned, but waiting for a purpose to be  given that it may fulfill the function that it will receive.
Tx:27.12  leaves no space in which a different view, another purpose, can be  given it. You do not know its purpose. You but gave illusions of a
Tx:27.17  proved to him. A miracle can offer nothing less to him than it has  given unto you. So does your healing show your mind is healed and has
Tx:27.18  your blood is on his hands, and so he stands condemned. Yet it is  given you to show him by your healing that his guilt is but the
Tx:27.19  his heart made heavy with the proof of sin. And what you wish is  given you to see.
Tx:27.24 [Correction you would do must separate, because that is the function  given it by you. When you perceive correction is the same as pardon,
Tx:27.24  And so your own Identity is found. Yet must He work with what is  given Him, and you allow Him only half your mind. And thus He
Tx:27.27 Correction is the function  given both, but neither one alone. And when it is fulfilled as
Tx:27.27  made aware of any function other than Its own. And thus is healing  given both of you.
Tx:27.28  conceives a single function as Its only one. Here is the function  given It conceived to be Its own and not apart from that Its Giver
Tx:27.34 The picture of your brother  given you to occupy the space so lately left unoccupied and vacant
Tx:27.37  your state of mind solution is impossible. Therefore, God must have  given you a way of reaching to another state of mind in which the
Tx:27.41  is it possible to separate your wishes from the answer, so it can be  given you and also be received. The answer is provided everywhere.
Tx:27.48  to the world. And being blessed, you will bring blessing. Life is  given you to give the dying world. And suffering eyes no longer will
Tx:27.53  to you to whom is healing offered. And you will learn that peace is  given you when you accept the healing for yourself. Its total value
Tx:27.53  for He knows it is a gift of love unto His Son, and therefore is it  given unto Him.
Tx:27.70  or war, your dreams or your reality? Yet if the choice is really  given you, then you must see the causes of the things you choose
Tx:28.3  truth. All things the Holy Spirit can employ for healing have been  given Him, without the content and the purposes for which they have
Tx:28.5  let it go. Memory holds the message it receives and does what it is  given it to do. It does not write the message nor appoint what it is
Tx:28.12 He to Whom time is  given offers thanks for every quiet instant given Him. For in that
Tx:28.12 He to Whom time is given offers thanks for every quiet instant  given Him. For in that instant is His memory allowed to offer all its
Tx:28.12  How gladly does He offer them unto the one for whom He has been  given them! And His Creator shares His thanks because He would not be
Tx:28.16  gives fatherhood to his Creator and receives the gift that he has  given Him. It is because he is God's Son that he must also be a
Tx:28.17  where all healing is. Where then is healing? Only where its cause is  given its effects. For sickness is a meaningless attempt to give
Tx:28.18  It has but one effect. And in that recognition, causelessness is  given no effects and none are seen. A mind within a body and a world
Tx:28.23  His body is their slave which they abuse because the motives he has  given it have they adopted as their own. And hate it for the
Tx:28.46  when he has received the simple happiness of health? What God has  given cannot be a loss, and what is not of Him has no effects. What
Tx:28.63  that it not be sick. All miracles are based upon this choice and  given you the instant it is made. No forms of sickness are immune
Tx:29.15  thing be part of him, and nothing else have life. What you have  given “life” is not alive and symbolizes but your wish to be alive
Tx:29.23  forth the gentle way of kindness to God's Son. Whom you forgive is  given power to forgive you your illusions. By your gift of freedom is
Tx:29.23  power to forgive you your illusions. By your gift of freedom is it  given unto you. Make way for love, which you did not create, but
Tx:29.28  dreams you think you like are those in which the functions you have  given have been filled, the needs which you ascribe to you are met.
Tx:29.30  function, Who can utilize all dreams as means to serve the function  given Him. Because He loves the dreamer not the dream, each dream
Tx:29.34  gift in whom his Father shines forever and to whom is all creation  given as his own. Because he has it is it given you, and where it
Tx:29.34  to whom is all creation given as his own. Because he has it is it  given you, and where it lies in him, behold your peace. The quiet
Tx:29.36 A dream is  given you in which he is your savior, not your enemy in hate. A dream
Tx:29.36  you in which he is your savior, not your enemy in hate. A dream is  given you in which you have forgiven him for all his dreams of death
Tx:29.43  abides and seek no longer elsewhere. You will fail. But it is  given you to know the truth and not to seek for it outside yourself.
Tx:29.47  which in its lifelessness is really death, conceived as real and  given living form. Yet each must fail and crumble and decay because a
Tx:29.48  yourself. Let us forget the purpose of the world the past has  given it. For otherwise, the future will be like the past and but a
Tx:29.49  your dreams, for they are what you wish, perceived as if it had been  given you. Your idols do what you would have them do and have the
Tx:29.54  the Christ and what you see. An idol is a wish made tangible and  given form and thus perceived as real and seen outside the mind. Yet
Tx:29.56  Nothing! It must be believed before it seems to come to life and  given power that it may be feared. Its life and power are its
Tx:29.57  of idols has been set by the idea this power and place and time are  given form and shape the world where the impossible has happened.
Tx:29.57  of time. Here does the changeless change, the peace of God, forever  given to all living things, give way to chaos, and the Son of God, as
Tx:29.60 God has not many sons, but only One. Who can have more, and who be  given less? In Heaven would the Son of God but laugh if idols could
Tx:30.8 If I make no decision by myself, This is the day that will be  given me.
Tx:30.10  if you feel yourself unwilling to sit by and ask to have the answer  given you. This means you have decided by yourself and cannot see the
Tx:30.37  Him Who gave your will to you. For it is by your will the world is  given freedom. Nor can you be free apart from Him Whose holy will you
Tx:30.41  be denied. Your will to be complete is but God's Will, and this is  given you by being His. God knows not form. He cannot answer you in
Tx:30.62  away. Yet God need not create His Son again that what is his be  given back to him. The gap between your brother and yourself was
Tx:30.70  from fear begins and will be made complete. Here is the real world  given in exchange for dreams of terror. For it is on this forgiveness
Tx:30.81  in him. It is not difficult to overlook mistakes that have been  given no effects. But what you see as having power to make an idol of
Tx:30.81  wrong about His Son? Or have you been deceived in him who has been  given you to heal, for your salvation and deliverance?
Tx:30.84  meaning. But it must accord one meaning to them all. If they are  given different meanings, it must be that they reflect but different
Tx:30.85  means whereby perception can be stabilized and one interpretation  given to the world and all experiences here. In this shared purpose
Tx:30.85  You do not have to judge, for you have learned one meaning has been  given everything, and you are glad to see it everywhere. It cannot
Tx:30.88  to all our brothers and to understand with them forgiveness has been  given to us all, and thus we can communicate again.
Tx:30.91  And Heaven gives no answer to the prayer, nor can a miracle be  given you to heal appearances you do not like. You have established
Tx:30.91  you do not like. You have established limits. What you ask is  given you, but not of God Who knows no limits. You have limited
Tx:30.92  have when you desire healing. But there is no miracle that can be  given you unless you want it. Choose what you would heal, and He Who
Tx:30.92  what you would heal, and He Who gives all miracles has not been  given freedom to bestow His gifts upon God's Son. When he is tempted,
Tx:30.93  offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid of fear. It will be  given you to look upon your brother thus. But not while you would
Tx:31.14  The first is a decision that you make. But afterwards the truth is  given you. You would establish truth. And by your wish, you set two
Tx:31.16  is. Unless he serves it, he has not fulfilled the function that was  given him by you. And thus he merits death because he has no purpose
Tx:31.25  by your side? This is the road to nowhere, for the light cannot be  given while you walk alone, and so you cannot see which way you go.
Tx:31.29  preferred the body change in its appearances to suit the purpose  given by the mind. For it can learn, and there is all change made.
Tx:31.31  us be glad that you will see what you believe, and that it has been  given you to change what you believe. The body will but follow. It

Tx:31.40  you will gain as much as he will lose, and what you lose is what is  given him. How utterly opposed to truth is this, when the lesson's
Tx:31.40  what your brother loses you have lost and what he gains is what is  given you.
Tx:31.49  not natural. Apart from learning, they do not exist. They are not  given, and they must be made. Not one of them is true, and many come

Tx:31.65  conceive that you must make the way to Heaven plain. The means are  given you by which to see the world that will replace the one you
Tx:31.70  For you will not interpret what you see without the Aid that God has  given you. And in His sight there is another world.
Tx:31.71  Born as a gift for someone not perceived to be yourself, it has been  given you. For your forgiveness, offered unto him, has been accepted

Tx:31.77  would be one who is but partly saved. The holy ones whom God has  given each of you to save are everyone you meet or look upon, not
Tx:31.77  will yet meet, the unremembered and the not yet born. For God has  given you His Son to save from every concept that he ever held.
Tx:31.80  asks, “What is the meaning of what I behold?” Then is the answer  given. And the door held open for the face of Christ to shine upon
Tx:31.82 Let not the world's light,  given unto you, be hidden from the world. It needs the light, for it

W1:12.1  or a violent world, or an insane world. All these attributes are  given it by you. The world is meaningless in itself.
W1:15.1  This is how your “seeing” was made. This is the function you have  given your body's eyes. It is not seeing. It is image-making. It
W1:18.1  It also emphasizes the idea that minds are joined, which will be  given increasing stress later.
W1:20.3  the resurrection and the life. His Will is done because all power is  given him in Heaven and on earth. In your determination to see is
W1:20.3  him in Heaven and on earth. In your determination to see is vision  given you.
W1:25.1  goals become unified. It is in recognizing this that what you see is  given meaning.
W1:42.2 God is indeed your strength. And what He gives is truly  given. This means that you can receive it any time and anywhere,

W1:R1.6  in quite their original form of statement. Use them as they are  given here. It is not necessary to return to the original statements
W1:51.3 [2] I have  given what I see all the meaning it has for me. I have judged
W1:52.2  which I made up. The illusions are upsetting because I have  given them reality and thus regard reality as an illusion. Nothing in
W1:53.4  out no safety and no hope. But such a world is not real. I have  given it the illusion of reality, and have suffered from my belief in
W1:55.5  to the world of illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide God has  given me to find out what my own best interests are, recognizing that
W1:55.6  Therefore I do not recognize its real purpose. The purpose I have  given the world has led to a frightening picture of it. Let me open
W1:55.6  me open my mind to its real purpose by withdrawing the one I have  given it, and learning the truth about it.

W1:59.3  to exchange my pitiful illusion of seeing for the vision that is  given by God. Christ's vision is His gift, and He has given it to me.
W1:59.3  vision that is given by God. Christ's vision is His gift, and He has  given it to me. Let me call upon this gift today, so that this day
W1:59.4  to see through the body's eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been  given me to replace them. It is through this vision that I choose to
W1:59.5  tried to define what seeing is, and I have been wrong. Now it is  given me to understand that God is the Light in which I see. Let me
W1:60.5  God's Voice is the only voice and the only guide that has been  given to His Son.

W1:64.3  your function here is to be the light of the world, a function  given you by God. It is only the arrogance of the ego that leads you
W1:64.4  temptation. The Son of God is you. Only by fulfilling the function  given you by God will you be happy. That is because your function is
W1:66.6 God gives me only happiness. He has  given my function to me. Therefore my function must be happiness.
W1:66.9 The second premise is that God has  given you your function. We have seen that there are only two parts
W1:66.15 My happiness and function are one because God has  given me both.

W1:77.4  Remind yourself also that miracles are never taken from one and  given to another and that in asking for your rights you are upholding
W1:77.5  of the world and for your own. You have requested that you be  given the means by which this is accomplished. You cannot fail to be
W1:78.8  way and see our savior shining in the light of true forgiveness  given unto us. We ask Him in the holy Name of God and of His Son, as
W1:78.12  think of or remember from the past, allow the role of savior to be  given that you may share it with them. For you both, and all the
W1:79.2  solved if he thinks the problem is something else? Even if he is  given the answer, he cannot see its relevance.
W1:79.8  what our problems are. We are trying to recognize that we have been  given the answer by recognizing the problem so that the problem and
W1:80.1  solution. Salvation is accomplished. Freedom from conflict has been  given you. Accept that fact, and you are ready to take your rightful
W1:80.5 Now let the peace that your acceptance brings be  given you. Close your eyes and receive your reward. Recognize that
W1:81.2 [61] I am the light of the world. How holy am I, who have been  given the function of lighting up the world! Let me be still before
W1:89.2  me to have that I may use it on behalf of the function He has  given me.
W1:90.7  wait for this to be resolved. The answer to this problem is already  given me if I will accept it. Time cannot separate this problem from
W1:92.5  Strength comes from truth and shines with light its Source has  given it; weakness reflects the darkness of its maker. It is sick and
W1:92.10  Self. Its strength will be the light in which the gift of sight is  given you. Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and we will
W1:93.10  the rest of the practice period in trying to experience what God has  given you in place of what you have decreed for yourself.
W1:95.12  this is true. Begin the practice periods today with this assurance,  given to your mind with all the certainty that you can give:
W1:95.18  within you and His love forever yours. You are One Self, and it is  given you to feel this Self within you and to cast all your illusions
W1:96.17  you lay another treasure in your growing store. And all of it is  given everyone who asks for it and will accept the gift. Think, then,
W1:96.17  who asks for it and will accept the gift. Think, then, how much is  given unto you to give this day, that it be given you!
W1:96.17  Think, then, how much is given unto you to give this day, that it be  given you!
W1:98.2  surety has come. We have a mighty purpose to fulfill and have been  given everything we need with which to reach the goal. Not one
W1:98.3  reality. They rest in quiet certainty that they will do what it is  given them to do. They do not doubt their own ability because they
W1:98.5  your time each hour to be able to accept the happiness that God has  given you? Is it not worth five minutes hourly to recognize your
W1:99.7 Salvation is your function with the One to Whom the plan was  given. Now are you entrusted with this plan, along with Him. He has
W1:100.2  part that He has saved for you to take in working out His plan is  given you that you might be restored to what He wills. This part is
W1:103.6  you expect to take the place of pain. God being Love, it will be  given you. Bolster this expectation frequently throughout the day,
W1:104.4 Our longer practice periods today, the hourly five minutes  given truth for your salvation, should begin with this:
W1:104.6  that which is truly ours, as we ask to recognize what God has  given us.
W1:104.7  peace and joy are welcome and to which we come to find what has been  given us by Him. We come in confidence today, aware that what belongs
W1:105.2 The truly  given gift entails no loss. It is impossible that one can gain
W1:105.2  another loses. This implies a limit and an insufficiency. No gift is  given thus. Such “gifts” are but a bid for a more valuable return—a
W1:105.4  of looking at a gift. God's gifts will never lessen when they are  given away. They but increase thereby. As Heaven's peace and joy
W1:105.9  Now are you ready to accept the gift of peace and joy which God has  given you. Now are you ready to experience the joy and peace you have
W1:105.9  Now you can say, “God's peace and joy are mine,” for you have  given what you would receive.
W1:106.6  speak today. Be ready for salvation. It is here and will today be  given unto you. And you will learn your function from the One Who
W1:106.7  start and thus it ends; when everything is yours, and everything is  given away, it will remain with you forever. And the lesson has been
W1:106.11  will again release a thousand more who pause to ask that truth be  given them along with you.
W1:106.12  your choice to hear and to receive the Word by this reminder,  given to yourself as often as is possible today:
W1:108.7  returns to us. Light is tranquility, and in that peace is vision  given us and we can see.
W1:R3.4  with goals you hold more dear. When you withdraw the value  given them, allow your practice periods to be replacements for your
W1:R3.6  faith and let the mind employ the thoughts you gave as they were  given you for it to use.
W1:R3.7 You have been  given them in perfect trust, in perfect confidence that you would use
W1:R3.9  them. As a result, you have gained little reinforcement and have not  given it the opportunity to prove how great are its potential gifts
W1:116.3  for me. I share my Father's Will for me, His Son. What He has  given me is all I want. What He has given me is all there is.
W1:116.3  for me, His Son. What He has given me is all I want. What He has  given me is all there is.
W1:121.8  and your learning will be not of you, but of the Teacher Who was  given you to show the way to you. Today we practice learning to
W1:122.4  the answer that will answer everything? Here is the perfect answer,  given to imperfect questions, meaningless requests, half-hearted
W1:122.7  give no gifts of any value to a mind which has received what God has  given as its own. God wills salvation be received today and that the
W1:122.11  and what your acceptance of the answer brings. Today it will be  given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers and the joy the
W1:122.12  offers everything you want. Today all things you want are  given you.
W1:123.6  them back a thousand and a hundred thousand more than they were  given. He will bless your gifts by sharing them with you, and so they
W1:123.7  and Whom He thanks as you are thanking Him. This holy half an hour  given Him will be returned to you in terms of years for every second,
W1:125.2  God's plan is simply this: the Son of God is free to save himself,  given the Word of God to be his Guide, forever in his mind and at his
W1:126.7 Not having  given Him the gift He asks of you, you cannot recognize His gifts and
W1:126.7  He asks of you, you cannot recognize His gifts and think He has not  given them to you. Yet would He ask you for a gift unless it was for
W1:126.7  for giving is receiving. What remains as unreceived has not been  given, but what has been given must have been received.
W1:126.7  What remains as unreceived has not been given, but what has been  given must have been received.
W1:126.12 All that I give is  given to myself. The Help I need to learn that this is true is with
W1:128.2  other end but this. For everything must serve the purpose you have  given it until you see a different purpose there. The only purpose
W1:128.5 Today we practice letting go all thought of values we have  given to the world. We leave it free of purposes we gave its aspects
W1:129.6  really want, but what you choose instead you want indeed! Let it be  given you today. It waits but for your choosing it to take the place
W1:129.10  your mind can see it plainly and can understand. A day of grace is  given you today, and we give thanks. This day we realize that what
W1:131.9  established him in Heaven? Could he lose what the Eternal Will has  given him to be his home forever? Let us not try longer to impose an
W1:134.18  a deep and certain feeling of relief. The time remaining should be  given to experiencing the escape from all the heavy chains you sought
W1:135.14  this will function flawlessly and with the strength that has been  given it and cannot fail.
W1:135.22  what was planned for us. We will be sure that everything we need is  given us for our accomplishment of this today. We make no plans for
W1:135.23  instead of plan, that we may give instead of organize. And we are  given truly, as we say:
W1:136.5  beyond your own control. But what you have forgot can be remembered,  given willingness to reconsider the decision which is doubly shielded
W1:136.14  that time is an illusion. For it lets you think what God has  given you is not the truth right now, as it must be. The thoughts of
W1:137.11  the instant they are healed and all the grace of healing it is  given them to give. What is opposed to God does not exist. And who
W1:140.14  a minute as the hour strikes to hear the answer to our prayer be  given us as we attend in silence and in joy. This is the day when
W1:R4.10  its intended purpose. Let each word shine with the meaning God has  given it as it was given to you through His Voice. Let each idea that
W1:R4.10  Let each word shine with the meaning God has given it as it was  given to you through His Voice. Let each idea that you review that
W1:143.2 [126] All that I give is  given to myself.
W1:154.7  the messages by giving them away. They choose no roles that are not  given them by His authority. And so they gain by every message which
W1:154.12  and yet belief is lacking still. But this is sure—until belief is  given it, you will receive a thousand miracles and then receive a
W1:155.9  truth and let illusions be your guide. Your holy brothers have been  given you to follow in your footsteps as you walk with certainty of
W1:155.13  who are God's Son. Forget not He has placed His hand in yours and  given you your brothers in His trust that you are worthy of His trust
W1:157.3 Today it will be  given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths
W1:157.4  joined your will with His this day, what you are asking must be  given you. Nothing is needed but today's idea to light your mind and
W1:157.8  life, Translator of perception into truth, the holy Guide to Heaven  given you has dreamed for you this journey which you make and start
W1:158.1 What has been  given you? The knowledge that you are a mind, in Mind and purely
W1:158.1  have you left your Source, remaining as you were created. This was  given you as knowledge which you cannot lose. It was given as well to
W1:158.1  This was given you as knowledge which you cannot lose. It was  given as well to every living thing, for by that knowledge only does
W1:159.2  that you are whole. There is no miracle you cannot give, for all are  given you. Receive them now by opening the storehouse of your mind
W1:159.4  anyone, and in His sight the sinless are as one. Their holiness was  given by His Father and Himself.
W1:159.10  for you to give. Are you not worth the gift when God appointed it be  given you? Judge not God's Son, but follow in the way He has
W1:160.7  unable now to recognize this stranger in your midst, for you have  given him your rightful place. Yet is your Self as certain of Its own
W1:163.8  must therefore be illusion. This the stand we take today. And it is  given us to look past death and see the life beyond.
W1:164.6 Brothers, this day is sacred to the world. Your vision,  given you from far beyond all things within the world, looks back on
W1:164.7 We will not judge today. We will receive but what is  given us from judgment made beyond the world. Our practicing today
W1:164.8  the light in which our Savior looks on us and offer it the freedom  given us through His forgiving vision, now our own. Open the curtain
W1:165.4  your mind will be before it comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is  given you. Conviction lies within it. Till you welcome it as yours,
W1:165.6  is all doubting past, the journey's end made certain, and salvation  given you. Now is Christ's power in your mind to heal as you were
W1:166.1 All things are  given you. God's trust in you is limitless. He knows His Son. He
W1:166.5  unknown to him. He cannot lose them. But he will not look at what is  given him. He wanders on, aware of the futility he sees about him
W1:166.10  which He gave an Answer. That is all. And you who have this Answer  given you have need no more of anything but this.
W1:166.12  to hide from God. He has reminded you of all the gifts that God has  given you. He speaks as well of what becomes your will when you
W1:167.5  far beyond themselves. But they cannot give birth to what was never  given them. As they are made, so will their making be. As they were
W1:168.5 It is a new and holy day today, for we receive what has been  given us. Our faith lies in the Giver, not our own acceptance. We
W1:168.7 Your grace is  given me. I claim it now. Father, I come to You. And You will come to
W1:169.6  when total recognition that its will is God's has been completely  given and received completely. It returns the mind into the endless
W1:169.13  what grace can give. For this we can give in the grace that has been  given us.
W1:169.14  what we ask this day of Him Who gives the grace we ask as it was  given Him?
W1:170.13  forever. You have chosen Him in place of idols, and your attributes,  given by your Creator, are restored to you at last. The Call of God
W1:R5.3  us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have  given us.
W1:R5.10  you from Him Who sees your bitter need and knows the answer God has  given Him. Together we review these thoughts. Together we devote our
W1:179.3 [168] Your grace is  given me. I claim it now. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:183.11 Turn to the Name of God for your release, and it is  given you. No prayer but this is necessary, for it holds them all
W1:183.12  we would experience this peace today. And in His Name it shall be  given us.
W1:184.2  things, between all things and you. Thus do you think that you have  given life in separation. By this split you think you are established
W1:184.3  as you wished to have perception be. The nameless things were  given names and thus reality was given them as well. For what is
W1:184.3  be. The nameless things were given names and thus reality was  given them as well. For what is named is given meaning and will then
W1:184.3  names and thus reality was given them as well. For what is named is  given meaning and will then be seen as meaningful, a cause of true
W1:184.4  way reality is made by partial vision, purposefully set against the  given truth. Its enemy is wholeness. It conceives of little things
W1:184.10  the darkness. Here you understand the Word, the Name Which God has  given you; the One Identity Which all things share; the one
W1:184.12  our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds accept what He has  given as the answer to the pitiful inheritance you made as fitting
W1:184.14  God's Son, we understand that they have but One Name, Which He has  given them. It is this Name we use in practicing. And through Its
W1:184.14  all foolish separations disappear which kept us blind. And we are  given strength to see beyond them. Now our sight is blessed with
W1:185.1  you in any form, in any place or time. Heaven would be completely  given back to full awareness, memory of God entirely restored, the
W1:185.2  make a hell and think it real. He wants the peace of God, and it is  given him. For that is all he wants, and that is all he will receive.
W1:185.6  And when the wish for peace is genuine, the means for finding it are  given in a form each mind which seeks for it in honesty can
W1:185.7  This is no idle wish. These words do not request another dream be  given us. They do not ask for compromise nor try to make another
W1:185.10  for it, and where to turn for help in the attempt. Help has been  given you. And would you not avail yourself of it by sharing it?
W1:185.12 For you it was created,  given you by its Creator and established as His own eternal gift. How
W1:185.14  this beside us, can we fail today as we request the peace of God be  given us?
W1:186.1  humility which holds no function as your own but that which has been  given you. It offers your acceptance of a part assigned to you,
W1:186.2  function. We did not establish it. It is not our idea. The means are  given us by which it will be perfectly accomplished. All that we are
W1:186.2  not deny with self-deceiving arrogance that we are worthy. What is  given us to do we have the strength to do. Our minds are suited
W1:186.8 And so we find our peace. We will accept the function God has  given us, for all illusions rest upon the weird belief that we can
W1:186.10  leave your mind unclouded and serene when you accept the function  given you. The images you make give rise to but conflicting goals,
W1:186.11  as the sun's return each morning to dispel the night, your truly  given function stands out clear and wholly unambiguous. There is no
W1:186.12  you. Hear instead a certain Voice Which tells you of a function  given you by your Creator, Who remembers you and urges that you now
W1:186.13  although He sees them not. For Love must give, and what is  given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a world of form.
W1:186.14  which as it is in Heaven has no form. Yet what is needed here is  given here as it is needed. In this form, you can fulfill your
W1:187.1  phase on which the world and true perception differ. Having had and  given, then the world asserts that you have lost what you possessed.
W1:187.3  everyone you look upon. Herein is the idea of giving clarified and  given meaning. Now you can perceive that by your giving is your store
W1:187.8  arisen and correction must be made. Your blessing will correct it.  Given first to you, it now is yours to give as well. No form of
W1:187.9  gift forever there, forever to increase, forever yours, forever  given away.
W1:188.3  hearts and lights all vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are  given everyone, and everyone unites in giving thanks to you who give
W1:188.4  as well. From you salvation radiates with gifts beyond all measure,  given and returned. To you, the giver of the gift, does God Himself
W1:189.5 What would you see? The choice is  given you. But learn and do not let your mind forget this law of
W1:190.10 This is the day when it is  given you to realize the lesson which contains all of salvation's
W1:191.11  born but to die, to weep, and suffer pain, hear this: all power is  given you in earth and Heaven. There is nothing that you cannot do.
W1:192.7  We are one and therefore give up nothing. But we have indeed been  given everything by God. Yet do we need forgiveness to perceive that
W1:193.3  He knows no sin is possible. And yet He let His holy law of Love be  given form in which it could be offered to the world. And He created
W1:193.10  words which give you power over all events which seem to have been  given power over you. You see them rightly when you hold these words
W1:194.3  faithfully. In no one instant can one even die. And so each instant  given unto God in passing, with the next one given Him already, is a
W1:194.3  And so each instant given unto God in passing, with the next one  given Him already, is a time of your release from sadness, pain and
W1:195.9  of gratitude in place of anger, malice, and revenge. We have been  given everything. If we refuse to recognize it, we are not entitled
W1:197.4  gifts seem lost and ineffectual. They are received where they are  given. In your gratitude are they accepted universally and thankfully
W1:197.5 God blesses every gift you give to Him and every gift is  given Him because it can be given only to yourself, and what belongs
W1:197.5  gift you give to Him and every gift is given Him because it can be  given only to yourself, and what belongs to God must be His own. Yet
W1:197.6 Withdraw the gifts you give, and you will think that what is  given you has been withdrawn. But learn to let forgiveness take away
W1:197.9  the countless channels which extend this Self. All that you do is  given unto Him. All that you think can only be His thoughts, sharing
W1:197.9  you have denied yourself when you forgot the function God has  given you. But never think that He has ever ceased to offer thanks to
W1:198.15  not forsake us now. For He would give to us the gift that God has  given us through Him today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The
W1:199.2  asked. Attack thoughts cannot enter such a mind because it has been  given to the Source of Love. And fear can never enter in a mind that
W1:199.9 I am not a body. I am free. I hear the Voice that God has  given me, and it is only this my mind obeys.
W1:200.4  world is not where you belong. You are a stranger here. But it is  given you to find the means whereby the world no longer seems to be a
W1:200.5 Freedom is  given you where you beheld but chains and iron doors. For you must
W1:R6.6  all that we thought we knew and understood. For thus is freedom  given us from all we did not know and failed to understand.
W1:R6.7  what it would have. Then gently let the thought which you denied be  given up in sure and quick exchange for the idea we practice for the
W1:R6.11  review we now begin, and let us also not forget to Whom it has been  given as we practice day by day, advancing toward the goal He set for
W1:202.1  to stay an instant more where I do not belong, when God Himself has  given me His Voice to call me home? I am not a body. I am free. For I
W1:212.1  from all the vain illusions of the world. Only the function God has  given me can offer freedom. Only this I seek, and only this will I
W1:216.1  myself. If I attack, I suffer. But if I forgive, salvation will be  given me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created
W2:I.3  in the remaining holy instants which conclude the year that we have  given God. We say some simple words of welcome and expect our Father

W2:224.1  well I give the world. There is no gift but this that can be either  given or received. This is reality, and only this. This is illusion's
W2:225.1  love for me. For giving and receiving are the same, and You have  given all Your love to me. I must return it, for I want it mine in
W2:230.1 In peace I was created. And in peace do I remain. It is not  given me to change my Self. How merciful is God my Father, that when
W2:230.2 Father, I seek the peace You gave as mine in my creation. What was  given then must be here now, for my creation was apart from time and

W2:WIB.3  can never fear. Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose  given it. But we can change the purpose which the body will obey by

W2:266.2  to Him, when He has filled the world with those who point to Him and  given us the sight to look on them?
W2:267.1  Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the world is  given me. Each heartbeat brings me peace; each breath infuses me with

W2:284.2 Father, what You have  given cannot hurt, and grief and pain must be impossible. Let me not

Tx:20.28  by the Holy Spirit, Who knows that as you give, you gain. He  gives no power to sin, and therefore it has none; nor to its results
Tx:20.28  things have not occurred because the Holy Spirit sees them not and  gives no power to their seeming source. Thus would He keep you free
Tx:20.28  them. Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit merely  gives everything to God, Who has already given and received all that
Tx:20.29  him as he is, and what is yours shines from him to you. Your savior  gives you only love, but what you would receive of him is up to you.
Tx:20.75  nothing are all projections made. For it is the projection which  gives the “nothing” all the meaning that it holds.
Tx:21.5  gentle lessons are acquired joyously and are remembered gladly. What  gives you happiness you want to learn and not forget. It is not this
Tx:21.5  happy learners yet because you still remain uncertain that vision  gives you more than judgment does, and you have learned that both you
Tx:21.12  can see, for that same song they sing in honor of their Creator  gives praise to them as well. The blindness which they made will not
Tx:21.13  to joy; the little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit for which He  gives you everything; the very little on which salvation rests; the
Tx:21.39 Think you the Holy Spirit is concerned with this? He  gives not what it is His purpose to lead you from. You think He would
Tx:21.39  the other has disappeared from sight. Nor is it possible that what  gives light be one with what depends on darkness to be seen. Neither
Tx:21.67  one with It, it must be given you to give what It has given and  gives still. Spend but an instant in the glad acceptance of what is
Tx:21.68  The gratitude he offers you reminds you of the thanks your Father  gives you for completing Him. And here alone does reason tell you
Tx:22.18  the eternal cannot change. But sorrow can be turned to joy, for time  gives way to the eternal. Only the timeless must remain unchanged,
Tx:23.43  of what you want—to take a little and give up the rest. Salvation  gives up nothing. It is complete for everyone. Let the idea of
Tx:24.15  are, how can you know the truth? What answer that the Holy Spirit  gives can reach you, when it is your specialness to which you listen
Tx:24.18  But be you certain that the truth is just the same in both. It  gives no different messages and has one meaning. And it is one you
Tx:24.46  in your own. Christ's hand holds all His brothers in Himself. He  gives them vision for their sightless eyes and sings to them of
Tx:24.70  want to be yourself. It is the means to make your wish come true. It  gives the eyes with which you look on it, the hands that feel it, and
Tx:25.1  cannot be apart from what is at the very center of your life. What  gives you life cannot be housed in death. No more can you. Christ is
Tx:25.6  is it faithful to your purpose from which it never separates nor  gives the slightest witness unto anything the purpose in your mind
Tx:25.13  For one thing is sure—the way you see, and long have seen,  gives no support to base your future hopes and no suggestions of
Tx:25.46 —His use of what you made, to heal instead of harm. To each He  gives a special function in salvation he alone can fill—a part for
Tx:25.52  And if but one Thought of His is true, then all beliefs the world  gives any meaning to are false and make no sense at all. This is the
Tx:25.61  which salvation rests, the vantage point from which the Holy Spirit  gives meaning and direction to the plan in which your special
Tx:25.82  knows it, and as knowledge is reflected in the sight the Holy Spirit  gives.
Tx:26.5  illusion merely ask that they might see a purpose in the world that  gives it sense and makes it meaningful. Without your special function
Tx:26.7  every instant can you be reborn and given life again. His holiness  gives life to you, who cannot die because his sinlessness is known to
Tx:26.25  love could need forgiveness. And what is charity within the world  gives way to simple justice past the gate that opens into Heaven. No
Tx:26.51  to the truth? Illusions are illusions and are false. Your preference  gives them no reality. Not one is true in any way, and all must yield
Tx:26.53 Nothing  gives meaning where no meaning is. And truth needs no defense to make
Tx:26.66  To get from one is to deprive them all. And yet to bless but one  gives blessing to them all as one.
Tx:27.23  more innocent than he. This splits his function off from yours and  gives you both a different role. And so you cannot be perceived as
Tx:27.76  Whom you see as offering both life and death to you. Brother, He  gives but life. Yet what you see as gifts your brother offers
Tx:27.76  gifts your brother offers represent the gifts you dream your Father  gives to you. Let all your brother's gifts be seen in light of
Tx:28.12  deprived of His effects. The instant's silence that His Son accepts  gives welcome to eternity and Him and lets Them enter where They
Tx:28.16  create their cause, but they establish its causation. Thus, the Son  gives fatherhood to his Creator and receives the gift that he has
Tx:28.22  that he was author of the dream, and not a figure in the dream. He  gives himself the consequences which he dreams he gave his brother.
Tx:29.4  love. The body saves you, for it gets away from total sacrifice and  gives you time in which to build again your separate selves, which
Tx:29.20  saving you depends his happiness. For who is savior but the one who  gives salvation? Thus he learns it must be his to give. Unless he
Tx:29.20  gives salvation? Thus he learns it must be his to give. Unless he  gives, he will not know he has, for giving is the proof of having.
Tx:29.29  there is no betrayal but of this. The core of dreams the Holy Spirit  gives is never one of fear. The coverings may not appear to change,
Tx:29.32  upon the sacred Son of God within. Here is the role the Holy Spirit  gives to you who wait upon the Son of God and would behold him waken
Tx:29.36  it seem so hard to share this dream? Because unless the Holy Spirit  gives the dream its function, it was made for hate and will continue
Tx:29.65  wild? This does the child believe because he fears his thoughts and  gives them to the toys instead. And their reality becomes his own
Tx:30.32  they have understood the basic law that makes decision powerful and  gives it all effects that it will ever have. It needs but two. These
Tx:30.35  and through your will created everything. Not one created thing but  gives you thanks, for it is by your will that it was born. No light
Tx:30.41  to fill a gap which is not there. It is not this you want. Creation  gives no separate person and no separate thing the power to complete
Tx:30.54  one very simple thing—you do not want whatever you believe an idol  gives. For thus the Son of God declares that he is free of idols. And
Tx:30.72  they have sinned. And so they do not merit the forgiveness that it  gives.
Tx:30.74 Forgiveness recognized as merited will heal. It  gives the miracle its strength to overlook illusions. This is how you
Tx:30.87  symbols which are used mean different things? The Holy Spirit's goal  gives one interpretation, meaningful to you and to your brother. Thus
Tx:30.91  their unreality obscure and give to them reality instead. And Heaven  gives no answer to the prayer, nor can a miracle be given you to heal
Tx:30.92  given you unless you want it. Choose what you would heal, and He Who  gives all miracles has not been given freedom to bestow His gifts
Tx:31.15 What you would choose between is not a choice and  gives but the illusion it is free, for it will have one outcome
Tx:31.29  no thoughts. It has no power to learn, to pardon, nor enslave. It  gives no orders that the mind need serve nor sets conditions that it

W1:16.2  more self-contradictory concept than that of “idle thoughts.” What  gives rise to the perception of a whole world can hardly be called
W1:27.1 Today's idea expresses something stronger than mere determination. It  gives vision priority among your desires. You may feel hesitant about
W1:42.1  it is the Will of God. It is His strength, not your own, that  gives you power. And it is His gift to you, rather than your own,
W1:42.2 God is indeed your strength. And what He  gives is truly given. This means that you can receive it any time and
W1:42.5 Vision must be possible. God  gives truly; or,
W1:47.1  such a way that only good can come of it? What is there in you that  gives you the recognition of the right solution and the guarantee
W1:65.2  of peace, which you have closed upon yourself, in your own hands. It  gives you the answer to all the searching you have done since time
W1:66.4  you and your happiness, but that they are actually identical. God  gives you only happiness. Therefore the function He gave you must be
W1:66.6 God  gives me only happiness. He has given my function to me. Therefore my
W1:66.8 The first premise is that God  gives you only happiness. This could be false, of course, but in
W1:66.8  what He does not have, and He cannot have what He is not. Unless God  gives you only happiness, He must be evil. And it is this definition
W1:92.2  It is as if you thought you held the match that lights the sun and  gives it all its warmth or that you had the universe imprisoned in
W1:92.6  a savior and can only will for happiness and peace for everyone. It  gives its strength to everyone who asks, in limitless supply. It sees
W1:92.6  It sees that lack in anyone would be a lack in all, and so it  gives its light that all may see and benefit as one. Its strength is
W1:97.12  you yield to the belief that you are something else. The Holy Spirit  gives you peace today. Receive His words, and offer them to Him.

W1:122.9 Remembering the gifts forgiveness  gives, we undertake our practicing today with hope and faith that
W1:123.6  you give, since He receives your gifts in loving gratitude and  gives them back a thousand and a hundred thousand more than they were
W1:124.5 We see it in appearances of pain, and pain  gives way to peace. We see it in the frantic, in the sad and the
W1:126.7  as the means by which it is attained, must heal the mind that  gives, for giving is receiving. What remains as unreceived has not

W1:129.2  unconcerned with you, quick to avenge, and pitiless with hate. It  gives but to rescind and takes away all things that you have
W1:135.1  defense can save himself? And herein lies the folly of defense—it  gives illusions full reality and then attempts to handle them as
W1:137.2  apart from all the rest to suffer what the others do not feel. It  gives the body final power to make the separation real and keep the
W1:137.3  does his Self appear to be dismembered and without the unity that  gives it life. But healing is accomplished as he sees the body has no

W1:153.2 The world  gives rise but to defensiveness. For threat brings anger, anger makes

W1:154.11  with His own, that we may be the true receivers of the gifts He  gives.
W1:159.10  an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His vision  gives the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting sanctity
W1:162.3  with the truth before him always. He will save the world because he  gives the world what he receives each time he practices the words of
W1:163.5  would have him be. His epitaph, which death itself has written,  gives no name to him, for he has passed to dust. It says but this:
W1:164.2  increasingly is more and more distinct—an ancient call to which He  gives an ancient answer. You will recognize them both. For they are
W1:164.3 How holy is your practicing today, as Christ  gives you His sight and hears for you and answers in your name the
W1:164.3  than the world are clear to you who will today accept the gifts He  gives.
W1:164.9  if you acknowledge them. You may not see the value your acceptance  gives the world. But this you surely want—you can exchange all
W1:166.1  are given you. God's trust in you is limitless. He knows His Son. He  gives without exception, holding nothing back that can contribute to
W1:167.8  awake. He does not sleep, and His creations cannot share what He  gives not nor make conditions which He does not share with them. The
W1:168.6  to meet us as we come to Him, for what He has prepared for us He  gives and we receive. Such is His Will because He loves His Son. To
W1:169.14  the world, what could be more than what we ask this day of Him Who  gives the grace we ask as it was given Him?
W1:181.2 Perception has a focus. It is this which  gives consistency to what you see. Change but this focus, and what
W1:182.9  He holds the might of Heaven in His hand and calls them friend, and  gives His strength to them that they may see He would be Friend to
W1:182.12  denied. The holy Child remains with you. His home is yours. Today He  gives you His defenselessness, and you accept it in exchange for all
W1:183.1  yours. To call upon His Name is but to call upon your own. A father  gives his son his name, and thus identifies the son with him. His
W1:183.12  but the Son of God who calls upon his Father. And his Father's Voice  gives answer in his Father's holy Name. In this eternal, still
W1:185.13  any gift of God has been requested and received by anyone. God  gives but to unite. To take away is meaningless to Him. And when it
W1:187.2  seems to appear is changed in giving. Yet it must return to him who  gives. Nor can the form it takes be less acceptable. It must be more.
W1:187.7  choose to see all suffering as what it is. The thought of sacrifice  gives rise to all the forms that suffering appears to take. And

W1:197.7  Thank your Self for this, for He is grateful only unto God, and He  gives thanks for you unto Himself. To everyone who lives will Christ

W1:105.5 True  giving is creation. It extends the limitless to the unlimited,
W1:105.5  It adds by letting what cannot contain itself fulfill its aim of  giving everything it has away, securing it forever for itself.
W1:106.8 Today we practice  giving, not the way you understand it now, but as it is. Each hour's
W1:106.10  for which you came and which will free the world from thinking  giving is a way to lose. And so the world becomes ready to understand
W1:106.12  your receiving it to give away, so you can teach the world what  giving means by listening and learning it of Him. Do not forget today
W1:108.4 Here are both  giving and receiving seen as different aspects of one Thought Whose
W1:108.6 To learn that  giving and receiving are the same has special usefulness because it

W1:136.15  It is found at any time—today, if you will choose to practice  giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim today. And we will give
W1:137.13  for the peace of God. Is not a minute of the hour worth the  giving to receive a gift like this? Is not a little time a small

W1:154.7 An earthly messenger fulfills his role by  giving all the messages away. The messengers of God perform their
W1:154.7  messages as for themselves and show they understand the messages by  giving them away. They choose no roles that are not given them by His

W1:166.15  the touch of Christ. Such is your mission now. For God entrusts the  giving of His gifts to all who have received them. He has shared His
W1:168.5  Whom all error is unknown is yet the One Who answers our mistakes by  giving us the means to lay them down and rise to Him in gratitude and
W1:183.11  become his own. He makes his claim to all his Father gave, is  giving still, and will forever give. He calls on Him to let all
W1:187.1 No one can give unless he has. In fact,  giving is proof of having. We have made this point before. What seems
W1:187.1  that you have lost what you possessed. The truth maintains that  giving will increase what you possess.
W1:187.2  Perhaps the form in which the thought seems to appear is changed in  giving. Yet it must return to him who gives. Nor can the form it
W1:187.3  miracles it brings to everyone you look upon. Herein is the idea of  giving clarified and given meaning. Now you can perceive that by your

W1:187.4 Protect all things you value by the act of  giving them away, and you are sure that you will never lose them.
W1:187.5  The thought remains and grows in strength as it is reinforced by  giving. Thoughts extend as they are shared, for they cannot be lost.
W1:187.6 Never forget you give but to yourself. Who understands what  giving means must laugh at the idea of sacrifice. Nor can he fail to
W1:188.3  by. All of its gifts are given everyone, and everyone unites in  giving thanks to you who give and you who have received.
W1:188.5  Who recognizes it within himself must give it. And the means for  giving it are in his understanding. He forgives because he recognized
W1:191.1  well is all the world released. You do not see what you have done by  giving to the world the role of jailer to the Son of God. What could

W2:225.1 Father, I must return Your love for me. For  giving and receiving are the same, and You have given all Your love
W2:249.1  The world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless  giving. It is now so like to Heaven that it quickly is transformed
W2:255.1  to finding what my Father wills for me, accepting it as mine and  giving it to all my Father's Sons, along with me.
W2:259.1  what but this could be the source of fear, obscuring God's creation,  giving love the attributes of fear and of attack?
W2:282.2  is mine. Such is the truth. And can the truth be changed by merely  giving it another name? The name of fear is simply a mistake. Let me

W2:344.1 This is Your law, my Father, not my own. I have not understood what  giving means and thought to save what I desired for myself alone. And

W2:241.2  Your Son, who never left, returns to Heaven and his home. How  glad are we to have our sanity restored to us, and to remember that
W2:242.1  For there is One Who knows all that is best for me. And He is  glad to make no choices for me but the ones that lead to God. This
W2:253.2  is but Your will in perfect union with my own, which can but offer  glad assent to Yours that It may be extended to itself.
W2:WILJ.4  this. Salvation asks you give it welcome. And the world awaits your  glad acceptance, which will set it free.
W2:321.2 Today we answer for the world, which will be freed along with us. How  glad are we to find our freedom through the certain way our Father
W2:328.2 There is no will but Yours. And I am  glad that nothing I imagine contradicts what You would have me be. It

M:4.25  in the world. It is given to the teachers of God to bring the  glad tidings of complete forgiveness to the world. Blessed indeed are
M:28.1  the Atonement for oneself. It is the end of dreams of misery and the  glad awareness of the Holy Spirit's final dream. It is the
M:29.2  responsible for decisions about which you understand so little? Be  glad you have a Teacher Who cannot make a mistake. His answers are

gladden (4)

Tx:4.63  Have you really considered how many opportunities you have to  gladden yourselves and how many of them you have refused? There is no
Tx:5.1  I have told you before to think how many opportunities you have to  gladden yourselves and how many you have refused. This is exactly the
Tx:7.45  conflicted mind could possibly perceive as meaningful. Fear does not  gladden. Healing does. Fear always makes exceptions. Healing never
Tx:29.31  resting place so still no sound except a hymn to Heaven rises up to  gladden God the Father and the Son. Where both abide are They

W2:315.1  which I can conceive. A brother smiles upon another, and my heart is  gladdened. Someone speaks a word of gratitude or mercy, and my mind

gladly (68)

Tx:1.87  The miracle-worker, therefore, accepts the time-control factor  gladly because he recognizes that every collapse of time brings all
Tx:4.19  The Soul is beyond humility because it recognizes its radiance and  gladly sheds its light everywhere. The meek shall inherit the earth
Tx:5.80 Appeal everything you believe  gladly to God's own Higher Court, because it speaks for Him and
Tx:7.14  law by creating by it. And His Sons, who create like Him, follow it  gladly, knowing that the increase of the Kingdom depends on it, just
Tx:7.75  honor to the Sons of the living God and count yourselves among them  gladly.
Tx:7.104 No one obeys  gladly a guide he does not trust, but this does not mean that the
Tx:8.15  and through theirs yours is extended. Awakening runs easily and  gladly through the Kingdom in answer to the call of God. This is the
Tx:8.41  and if you want to share it you will. I give it willingly and  gladly, because I need you as much as you need me.
Tx:9.65 Who could have done this but you? Recognize this  gladly, for in this recognition lies the realization that your
Tx:9.69  of God and of yourself for you, waiting for your acceptance. Give up  gladly everything that would stand in the way of your remembering,
Tx:10.21  offer Him a little place, He will lighten it so much that you will  gladly extend it. And by this extending, you will begin to remember
Tx:10.64 Resurrection must compel your allegiance  gladly because it is the symbol of joy. Its whole compelling power
Tx:11.54  of how to teach you what you are. Because He loves you, He will  gladly teach you what He loves, for He wills to share it. Remembering
Tx:12.17  remedy is quick. Do not hide suffering from His sight, but bring it  gladly to Him. Lay before His eternal sanity all your hurt, and let
Tx:12.64  not and following not the road that love points out. Love leads so  gladly! And as you follow Him, you will rejoice that you have found
Tx:13.72  of guilt in place of all the happy teaching the Holy Spirit would  gladly offer him.
Tx:13.75  you. Do not try to escape the gift of God which He so freely and so  gladly offers you. He offers you but what God gave Him for you. You
Tx:13.78  that you would follow to salvation. He knows the way and leads you  gladly on it. With Him you will not fail to learn what God wills for
Tx:13.91  you of the joy of living with your God and Father, and awaking  gladly to His love and holiness, which join together as the truth in
Tx:14.15  must be shared, for therein lies everything that makes it holy. Come  gladly to the holy circle, and look out in peace on all who think
Tx:14.30  enter the darkness and lighten it away. At your request He enters  gladly. He brings the light to darkness if you make the darkness open
Tx:14.61  with God's glory, for in it lies His power, which He shares so  gladly with His Son.
Tx:14.62  He will accept from you because you do not want it. And He will  gladly exchange each one for the bright lesson He has learned for
Tx:15.23  satisfy you. It is essential that you accept the fact, and accept it  gladly, that there is no form of littleness that can ever content
Tx:15.32  of nothing, and unable to accept anything for yourself. But you will  gladly give, having received. The host of God need not seek to find
Tx:15.38  you will recognize in the holy instant in which you willingly and  gladly give over every plan but His. For there lies peace, perfectly
Tx:15.61  at all. When the Son of God accepts the laws of God as what he  gladly wills, it is impossible that he be bound or limited in any
Tx:15.69  it is certain that, if you will look at them, you will offer them  gladly to Him. What He can make of them, you do not know, but you
Tx:15.80 Hear Him  gladly and learn of Him that you have need of no special
Tx:16.25  and their power and gratitude to you for their creation they offer  gladly to your teaching of yourself, who is their home. You who are
Tx:16.33  They seek it desperately but not in the peace in which it would  gladly come quietly to them. And when they find the fear of death is
Tx:16.67  is a place where truth and beauty wait for you. Go on to meet them  gladly, and learn how much awaits you for the simple willingness to
Tx:17.22 All this you will do  gladly if you but let Him hold the spark before you to light your way
Tx:17.55  is the goal, together with you. Think you not the goal itself will  gladly arrange the means for its accomplishment? It is just this same
Tx:17.69  be gently turned to its use and purpose. The universe will serve it  gladly, as it serves the universe. But do not interfere.
Tx:20.15  be. He will not leave you nor forsake the savior from his pain. And  gladly will you walk the way of innocence together, singing as you
Tx:21.5  pain. And gentle lessons are acquired joyously and are remembered  gladly. What gives you happiness you want to learn and not forget. It
Tx:22.28  to dwell in quiet here with Christ is share His vision. Quickly and  gladly is His vision given to anyone who is but willing to see his
Tx:22.37  as what it is—a common state of mind, where both give errors  gladly to correction that both may happily be healed as one.
Tx:24.58 Would you not  gladly realize these laws are not for you? Then see him not as
Tx:25.19  pictures yours. His gentleness becomes your strength, and both will  gladly look within and see the holiness that must be there because of
Tx:26.83  Your footprints lighten up the world, for where you walk forgiveness  gladly goes with you. No one on earth but offers thanks to one who
Tx:28.12  its treasures to the Son of God, for whom they have been kept. How  gladly does He offer them unto the one for whom He has been given
Tx:29.38  murder, grief and loss. This is the “sacrifice” salvation asks and  gladly offers peace instead of this.

W1:122.10 Morning and evening do we  gladly give a quarter of an hour to the search in which the end of

W1:168.2  to all despair, for in it lies remembrance of His Love. Would He not  gladly give the means by which His Will is recognized? His grace is
W1:187.5 Give  gladly. You can only gain thereby. The thought remains and grows in
W1:190.8  and working havoc in your holy mind. Pain is the ransom you have  gladly paid not to be free. In pain is God denied the Son He loves.

W2:317.1  I am the slave of time and human destiny. But when I willingly and  gladly go the way my Father's plan appointed me to go, then will I
W2:323.1  own eternal joy. Such is the “sacrifice” You ask of me, and one I  gladly make, the only “cost” of restoration of Your memory to me for
W2:360.1  Son is like to You in perfect sinlessness, and with this thought we  gladly say “Amen.”
W2:E.1  Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the answer and will  gladly give it to you if you simply turn to Him and ask it of Him. He
M:16.11 Is not this an exchange that you would want? The world would  gladly make it if it knew it could be made. It is God's teachers who
M:18.2  He free to teach all minds the truth of what they are, so they will  gladly be returned to Him. And now is guilt forgiven, overlooked

Tx:12.52  me. Every voice has a part in the song of redemption, the hymn of  gladness and thanksgiving for the light to the Creator of light. The
Tx:12.53  wholeness you will see your own. And as your hymns of praise and  gladness rise to your Creator, He will return your thanks in His
Tx:13.32  our love of him is your guiltlessness. But look upon yourself, and  gladness and appreciation for what you see will banish guilt forever.
Tx:13.36  is gone. For you have heard the hymn of freedom rising unto Heaven.  Gladness and joy belong to God for your release, because you made it

W1:7.12  one thing in particular, but remember to omit nothing specifically.  Glance briefly at each subject, and then move on to the next.
W1:12.2  quite slowly. Try to pace yourself so that the slow shifting of your  glance from one thing to another involves a fairly constant time
W1:12.2  does not matter. You teach yourself this as you give whatever your  glance rests on equal attention and equal time. This is a beginning

Tx:4.57  God created and are perceiving images your ego makes in a darkened  glass. Think honestly what you have thought that God would not have
Tx:4.65  in which God Himself shines in perfect light. To the ego's dark  glass you need but say, “I will not look there because I know these

Tx:7.112  yours. He cannot have lost what you recognize, and you must have the  glory you see in him. He is a co-creator with God with you. Deny his
Tx:8.13  because He created you for this. When we said, “All power and  glory are yours because the Kingdom is His,” this is what we meant.
Tx:8.14 The Will of God is without limit, and all power and  glory lie within it. It is boundless in strength and in love and in
Tx:8.14  Himself, you are like Him. You are part of Him Who is all power and  glory and are therefore as unlimited as He is.
Tx:8.15 To what else except all power and  glory can the Holy Spirit appeal to restore God's Kingdom? His
Tx:8.16  Glory be to God in the highest and to you, because He has so willed
Tx:8.17  will release your will to God's, uniting it with His power and  glory and establishing them as yours. You share them as God shares
Tx:8.20  else to learn. Everyone is looking for himself and for the power and  glory he thinks he has lost. Whenever you are with anyone, you have

Tx:26.30  are two teachers only, who point in different ways. And you will  go along the way your chosen teacher leads. There are but two

Tx:26.38  be up to you to see the past and put it in the present? You can not  go back. And everything that points the way in the direction of the
Tx:26.38  lose your way because there is no way but His and nowhere can you  go except to Him.
Tx:26.43 Forgive the past and let it  go, for it is gone. You stand no longer on the ground that lies
Tx:26.51  as answer to them all. God's Will is One. And any wish that seems to  go against His Will has no foundation in the truth.
Tx:27.3  he may see his sins are writ in Heaven in your blood and death and  go before him, closing off the gate and damning him to hell. Yet this
Tx:27.39  this is not a question, for it tells you what you want and where to  go for it. It leaves no room to question its beliefs, except that
Tx:27.44  needed that it can begin. Accept the miracle of healing, and it will  go forth because of what it is. It is its nature to extend itself the
Tx:27.53  will be one of its effects, as will your brother's. Everywhere you  go will you behold its multiplied effects. Yet all the witnesses that
Tx:27.64  world were hurting you. And so it seems as if there is no need to  go beyond the obvious in terms of cause.
Tx:27.84  your innocence by pushing guilt outside yourself but never letting  go! It is not easy to perceive the jest when all around you do your
Tx:28.5  to use it as a means to keep the past, but rather as a way to let it  go. Memory holds the message it receives and does what it is given it
Tx:28.24  the separation's final step with which salvation, which proceeds to  go the other way, begins. This final step is an effect of what has
Tx:28.38  the dreamer from the dream and join [with] one but let the other  go. The dream is but illusion in the mind. And with the mind you
Tx:28.46  in the gap what is not there. Your willingness to let illusions  go is all the Healer of God's Son requires. He will place the miracle
Tx:29.4  and signify a meeting-place to join. But always is it possible to  go your separate ways. Conditional upon the “right” to separate will
Tx:29.5  make communion with each other's mind. And now it tells you where to  go and how to go there, what is feasible for you to undertake, and
Tx:29.5  with each other's mind. And now it tells you where to go and how to  go there, what is feasible for you to undertake, and what you cannot
Tx:29.7  gone. Thus is love seen as treacherous because it seems to come and  go uncertainly and offer no stability to you. You do not see how
Tx:29.7  is your allegiance and how frequently you have demanded that love  go away and leave you quietly alone in “peace.”
Tx:29.39  and night and day will be no more. All things that come and  go, the tides, the seasons, and the lives of men; all things that

Tx:30.20  like the way you feel. This tiny opening will be enough to let you  go ahead with just a few more steps you need to let yourself be
Tx:30.44 Thoughts seem to come and  go. Yet all this means is that you are sometimes aware of them and
Tx:30.59  of forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone is certain he will  go beyond forgiveness, and he but remains until it is made perfect in

Tx:30.61  world is a state in which the mind has learned how easily do idols  go when they are still perceived, but wanted not. How willingly the

Tx:31.23  only when he would step back and falling back when he would  go ahead? For so do you forget the journey's goal, which is but to
Tx:31.23  to walk with him, so neither leads nor follows. Thus it is a way you  go together, not alone. And in this choice is learning's outcome
Tx:31.25  be given while you walk alone, and so you cannot see which way you  go. And thus there is confusion and a sense of endless doubting as
Tx:31.33  How then can you escape from them by leaving them behind? What must  go with you, you will take with you whatever road you choose to walk
Tx:31.34  differently they seem to start, however differently they seem to  go. Their end is certain, for there is no choice among them. All of
Tx:31.35  have learned their greatest lesson. All must reach this point and  go beyond it. It is true indeed there is no choice at all within the
Tx:31.36  fast your learning now, and understand you but waste time unless you  go beyond what you have learned to what is yet to learn. For from
Tx:31.42  to think that there could be a road with such an aim! Where could it  go? And how could you be made to travel on it, walking there without

Tx:31.50  that you will choose to follow this world's laws and never seek to  go beyond its roads nor realize the way you see yourself. Now must

W1:14.3 The idea for today is another step in learning to let  go the thoughts which you have written on the world, and see the Word
W1:14.3  lead you directly into fear. You will not be left there. You will  go far beyond it. Our direction is toward perfect safety and perfect

W1:45.8 Then try to  go past all the unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your mind,

W1:49.4 Listen in deep silence. Be very still, and open your mind.  Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your
W1:51.2  What I think I see now is taking the place of vision. I must let it  go by realizing that it has no meaning so that vision may take its

W1:56.3  remember who I am, it is essential that I let this image of myself  go. As it is replaced by truth, vision will surely be given me. And
W1:59.2 [41] God goes with me wherever I  go. How can I be alone when God always goes with me? How can I be
W1:59.2  about myself. I am perfect because God goes with me wherever I  go.
W1:60.5  I am walking steadily on toward truth. There is nowhere else I can  go, because God's Voice is the only voice and the only guide that has

W1:78.2 Today we  go beyond the grievances to look upon the miracle instead. We will
W1:79.8  Perhaps we will not succeed in letting all our preconceived notions  go, but that is not necessary. All that is necessary is to entertain
W1:85.2  keep me in darkness and hide the light. Grievances and light cannot  go together, but light and vision must be joined for me to see. To

W1:R3.9  You have been inclined to practice only at appointed times and then  go on your way to other things without applying what you learned to

W1:121.3  afraid to go ahead, afraid to stay, afraid to waken or to  go to sleep, afraid of every sound, yet more afraid of stillness;
W1:123.4  we smile on everyone we see and walk with lightened footsteps as we  go to do what is appointed us to do. We do not go alone. And we give
W1:123.4  footsteps as we go to do what is appointed us to do. We do not  go alone. And we give thanks that in our solitude a Friend has come
W1:124.1  blesses and which heals. At one with God and with the universe, we  go our way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes
W1:128.5 Today we practice letting  go all thought of values we have given to the world. We leave it free
W1:128.5  we lift the chains which bar the door to freedom from the world and  go beyond all little values and diminished goals.
W1:129.2  of this world. Perhaps you will concede there is no loss in letting  go all thought of value here. The world you see is merciless indeed,
W1:129.4  they will be exchanged at last for what we cannot speak of, for you  go from there to where words fail entirely, into a silence where the
W1:130.2  that which you fear to see you cannot see. Love and perception thus  go hand in hand, but fear obscures in darkness what is there.

W1:132.7  can let himself be led along the road to truth. He will return and  go still farther, or perhaps step back a while and then return again.
W1:132.9  that gave it these appearances. The sick are healed as you let  go all thoughts of sickness, and the dead arise when you let thoughts

W1:136.8  to totter and prepare to fall. Now are you sick that truth may  go away and threaten your establishments no more.
W1:137.12  truth will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing will this day  go forth from what is healed to what must yet be healed, aware that

W1:140.9 We will not be misled today by what appears to us as sick. We  go beyond appearances today and reach the source of healing from
W1:140.11  and end the day by listening again five minutes more before we  go to sleep. Our only preparation is to let our interfering thoughts

W1:167.9  or a false condition not within its Source, it merely seems to  go to sleep a while. It dreams of time—an interval in which what
W1:169.3 Grace is not learned. The final step must  go beyond all learning. Grace is not the goal this course aspires to
W1:169.9  convey to those who count the hours still and rise and work and  go to sleep by them?
W1:169.13 Be grateful to return, as you were glad to  go an instant and accept the gifts that grace provided you. You carry

W1:182.4  with an innocence that will endure forever. Where this Child shall  go is holy ground. It is His holiness that lights up Heaven and that
W1:182.5  as His own Son. It is this Child Who knows His Father. He desires to  go home so deeply, so unceasingly, His voice cries unto you to let
W1:182.6  you still abides His sure protection. You will fail Him not. He will  go home, and you along with Him.
W1:182.7  until you hear His gentle Voice within you, calling you to let Him  go in peace along with you to where He is at home and you with Him.
W1:182.10  Who comes defenseless and Who is protected by defenselessness.  Go home with Him from time to time today. You are as much an alien
W1:182.11  and brother. He has even come to you to ask your help in letting Him  go home completed and completely. He has come as does a little child
W1:182.12  and the journey has an end in sight at last. Be still a moment and  go home with Him, and be at peace a while.
W1:184.7  of the world. It is a phase of learning everyone who comes must  go through. But the sooner he perceives on what it rests, how
W1:184.9 It would indeed be strange if you were asked to  go beyond all symbols of the world, forgetting them forever; yet were

W1:186.7  the threat it does not know, sensing its basis crumble. Let it  go. Salvation of the world depends on you and not upon this little
W1:186.10 These unsubstantial images will  go and leave your mind unclouded and serene when you accept the
W1:189.9 And so today we do not choose the way in which we  go to Him. But we do choose to let Him come. And with this choice we
W1:192.2  would pardon Heaven? Yet on earth you need the means to let illusion  go. Creation merely waits for your return to be acknowledged, not to
W1:193.15  you can and give a little more, for now we would arise in haste and  go unto our Father's house. We have been gone too long, and we would
W1:193.17  and when that one goes, let everything that happens in its course  go with it. Thus will you remain unbound, in peace eternal in the
W1:194.4  sequence really found in time. You are but asked to let the future  go and place it in God's hands. And you will see by your experience
W1:195.5  or who walk the way of hatred and the path of death. All these  go with you. Let us not compare ourselves with them, for thus we
W1:195.10  For love can walk no road except the way of gratitude, and thus we  go who walk the way to God.
W1:196.4  of perfect freedom. Let us take this step today that we may quickly  go the way salvation shows us, taking every step in its appointed
W1:196.7  extent to you. From there you can at least consider if you want to  go along this painful path. Until this shift has been accomplished,
W1:196.8 Our next steps will be easy if you take this one today. From there we  go ahead quite rapidly. For once you understand it is impossible that
W1:196.12 There is no thought of God that does not  go with you to help you reach that instant and to go beyond it
W1:196.12  God that does not go with you to help you reach that instant and to  go beyond it quickly, surely, and forever. When the fear of God is
W1:200.9 Let us not lose our way again today. We  go to Heaven, and the path is straight. Only if we attempt to wander
W1:R6.7  one exception to this lack of structuring. Permit no idle thought to  go unchallenged. If you notice one, deny its hold and hasten to
W1:R6.11  toward the goal He set for us, allowing Him to teach us how to  go, and trusting Him completely for the way each practice period can
W1:202.1 [182] I will be still a moment and  go home. Why would I choose to stay an instant more where I do not

Tx:7.23 You made the effort to learn, and the Holy Spirit has a unified  goal for all effort. He adapts the ego's potentials for excelling to

Tx:7.35  is the way in which the ego tries to use all abilities, since its  goal is always to make you believe that you are in opposition.
Tx:7.36 The ego's  goal is as unified as the Holy Spirit's, and it is because of this
Tx:7.100  pain must obviously avoid pain. Surely no one would object to this  goal if he recognized it. The problem is not whether what the Holy

Tx:8.64  understood at all. To confuse a learning device with a curriculum  goal is a fundamental confusion. Learning can hardly be arrested at
Tx:8.66  a clear-cut indication of a poor learner. He has accepted a learning  goal in obvious contradiction to the unified purpose of the
Tx:8.103  reality, though impossible, can be made into a very persistent  goal, even though you do not want it. But consider the result of this
Tx:10.43  becomes more obviously inappropriate if one recognizes the ego's  goal, which is so clearly senseless that any effort exerted on its
Tx:10.43  exerted on its behalf is necessarily expended on nothing. The ego's  goal is quite explicitly ego autonomy. From the beginning, then, its
Tx:10.46  it has the power to do this, it does nothing else because its  goal of autonomy is nothing else. The ego is totally confused about
Tx:10.46  is totally confused about reality, but it does not lose sight of its  goal. It is much more vigilant than you are because it is perfectly
Tx:10.50 If the ego's  goal of autonomy could be accomplished, God's purpose could be

Tx:10.86  and you cannot perceive part of you as sick and achieve your own  goal. Brother, we heal together as we live together and love
Tx:11.18  peace. Look straight at every image that rises to delay you, for the  goal is inevitable because it is eternal. The goal of love is but
Tx:11.18  to delay you, for the goal is inevitable because it is eternal. The  goal of love is but your right, and it belongs to you despite your

Tx:11.39  cannot be defeated. His is the journey to accomplishment, and the  goal He sets before you He will give you. For He will never deceive
Tx:11.48  up curriculum goals where yours have clearly failed. Your learning  goal has been not to learn, and this cannot lead to successful
Tx:11.49  “Try to learn but do not succeed.” The result of this curriculum  goal is obvious. Every legitimate teaching aid, every real
Tx:11.49  are all for learning facilitation, which this strange curriculum  goal is against. If you are trying to learn how not to learn and are
Tx:11.50  yourself. A necessary minor, supplementing this major curriculum  goal, is learning how not to overcome the split which made this goal
Tx:11.50  goal, is learning how not to overcome the split which made this  goal believable. And you can not overcome it, for all your learning
Tx:11.51  if you look at it. Is it possible that the way to achieve a  goal is not to attain it? Resign now as your own teachers. This
Tx:11.52  for learning it. The curriculum is totally unambiguous because the  goal is not divided, and the means and the end are in complete
Tx:11.65  you need correction. For this belief is the destruction of peace, a  goal in direct opposition to the Holy Spirit's purpose. You see what
Tx:11.66  it is split and wants to keep the split, it will believe it has one  goal by making it one.
Tx:11.68  of integrity and enables it to believe that it is pursuing one  goal. As long as you perceive the world as split, you are not healed.
Tx:11.68  as split, you are not healed. For to be healed is to pursue one  goal because you have accepted only one and want but one.
Tx:11.74  condemned yourself to death. The death penalty is the ego's ultimate  goal, for it fully believes that you are a criminal, as deserving of
Tx:11.89 Long ago we said that the Holy Spirit shares the  goal of all good teachers, whose ultimate aim is to make themselves
Tx:12.5  want to kill you, and if you identify with it, you must believe its  goal is yours.
Tx:12.7 This course has explicitly stated that its  goal for you is happiness and peace. Yet you are afraid of it. You

Tx:12.31  place of eternity, for like the Holy Spirit, the ego interprets the  goal of time as its own. The continuity of past and future under its
Tx:12.31  of salvation which you must learn to accept if you would share His  goal of salvation for you.
Tx:12.71  lightly, for His sight is ever on the journey's end which is His  goal. God's Son is not a traveler through outer worlds. However holy

Tx:13.54  not realize that the foundation on which this most peculiar learning  goal depends means absolutely nothing. It does make sense to you.
Tx:13.60  how to make nothing everything. Yet see that this has been your  goal and recognize how foolish it has been. Be glad it is undone, for
Tx:15.2  Holy Spirit, uses time to convince you of the inevitability of the  goal and end of teaching. To the ego the goal is death, which is its
Tx:15.2  of the inevitability of the goal and end of teaching. To the ego the  goal is death, which is its end. But to the Holy Spirit the goal is
Tx:15.2  ego the goal is death, which is its end. But to the Holy Spirit the  goal is life, which has no end.
Tx:15.4  for this is what all its teaching is directed to. Hell is its  goal, for although the ego aims at death and dissolution as an end,
Tx:15.4  aims at death and dissolution as an end, it does not believe it. The  goal of death, which it craves for you, leaves it unsatisfied. No one
Tx:16.73  you is that the present is useless to you while you pursue the ego's  goal as its ally. The past is gone; seek not to preserve it in the
Tx:17.26  you. This is the truth that I would interpose between you and your  goal of madness. Be not separate from me, and let not the holy
Tx:17.44  in this—the only difficult phase is the beginning. For here, the  goal of the relationship is abruptly shifted to the exact opposite of
Tx:17.45  the practical results of asking Him to enter. At once His  goal replaces yours. This is accomplished very rapidly, but it makes
Tx:17.45  clear. For the relationship as it is, is out of line with its own  goal and clearly unsuited to the purpose which has been accepted for
Tx:17.45  which has been accepted for it. In its unholy condition, your  goal was all that seemed to give it meaning. Now it seems to make no
Tx:17.45  have been broken off at this point, and the pursuit of the old  goal reestablished in another relationship. For once the unholy
Tx:17.45  relationship. For once the unholy relationship has accepted the  goal of holiness, it can never again be what it was.
Tx:17.46  has not as yet been changed sufficiently to make its former  goal completely without attraction, and its structure is “threatened”
Tx:17.46  for meeting its new purpose. The conflict between the  goal and the structure of the relationship is so apparent that they
Tx:17.46  relationship is so apparent that they cannot coexist. Yet now the  goal will not be changed. Set firmly in the unholy relationship,
Tx:17.46  there is no course except to change the relationship to fit the  goal. Until this happy solution is seen and accepted as the only way
Tx:17.47 It would not be kinder to shift the  goal more slowly, for the contrast would be obscured and the ego
Tx:17.47  individuals for their unholy purposes suddenly has holiness for its  goal. As these two contemplate their relationship from the point of
Tx:17.48 This is the time for faith. You let this  goal be set for you. That was an act of faith. Do not abandon faith,
Tx:17.48  Have faith in each other in what but seems to be a trying time. The  goal is set. And your relationship has sanity as its purpose. For now
Tx:17.48  in an insane relationship, recognized as such in the light of its  goal.
Tx:17.49  thus—substitute for this another relationship to which your former  goal was quite appropriate. You can escape from your distress only by
Tx:17.51  than you now believe. Is it not certain that you will remember a  goal unchanged throughout eternity? For you have chosen but the goal
Tx:17.51  a goal unchanged throughout eternity? For you have chosen but the  goal of God from which your true intent was never absent.
Tx:17.55 You stand together in the holy presence of truth itself. Here is the  goal, together with you. Think you not the goal itself will gladly
Tx:17.55  truth itself. Here is the goal, together with you. Think you not the  goal itself will gladly arrange the means for its accomplishment? It
Tx:17.56 Yet the  goal is fixed, firm, and unalterable, and the means will surely fall
Tx:17.56  and unalterable, and the means will surely fall in place because the  goal is sure. And you will share the gladness of the Sonship that it
Tx:17.57  is apparent that it must be clear. The setting of the Holy Spirit's  goal is general. Now He will work with you to make it specific [for
Tx:17.58  do I want to come of this? What is it for?” The clarification of the  goal belongs at the beginning, for it is this which will determine
Tx:17.58  is aware of what it does not want, but only that. It has no positive  goal at all.
Tx:17.59 Without a clear cut positive  goal, set at the outset, the situation just seems to happen and makes
Tx:17.59  judgment in the past, but you have no idea what should happen. No  goal was set with which to bring the means in line. And now the only
Tx:17.60  of truth and falsity. The true becomes what can be used to meet the  goal. The false becomes the useless from this point of view. The
Tx:17.60  point of view. The situation now has meaning, but only because the  goal has made it meaningful.
Tx:17.61 The  goal of truth has further practical advantages. If the situation is
Tx:17.61  the experience. The Holy Spirit knows that the situation is as the  goal determines it and is experienced according to the goal.
Tx:17.61  is as the goal determines it and is experienced according to the  goal.
Tx:17.62 The  goal of truth requires faith. Faith is implicit in the acceptance of
Tx:17.62  Holy Spirit's purpose, and this faith is all-inclusive. Where the  goal of truth is set, there faith must be. The Holy Spirit sees the
Tx:17.62  faith must be. The Holy Spirit sees the situation as a whole. The  goal establishes the fact that everyone involved in it will play his
Tx:17.63  except that this attempt conflicts with unity and must obscure the  goal of truth. And peace will not be experienced except in fantasy.
Tx:17.63  belonged. Thus do you lose the understanding of the situation the  goal of truth would bring. For fantasy solutions bring but the
Tx:17.65  it is because the thoughts are judged to be in conflict. But if the  goal is truth, this is impossible. Some idea of bodies must have
Tx:17.67  not given can be lacking in any situation. But remember this: the  goal of holiness was set for your relationship and not by you. You
Tx:17.67  another was so limited and little. Your faith must grow to meet the  goal that has been set. The goal's reality will call this forth, for
Tx:17.68  Be tempted not by what it offers you. It interferes not with the  goal, but with the value of the goal to you. Accept not the illusion
Tx:17.68  you. It interferes not with the goal, but with the value of the  goal to you. Accept not the illusion of peace it offers, but look
Tx:17.69 The  goal of illusion is as closely tied to faithlessness as faith to
Tx:17.70 The power set in you in whom the Holy Spirit's  goal has been established is so far beyond your little conception of
Tx:17.72  the purpose of your relationship by exchanging yours for His, the  goal He placed there was extended to every situation in which you
Tx:17.73  God must be a dream. You whose relationship shares the Holy Spirit's  goal are set apart from loneliness because the truth has come. Its
Tx:17.79 When you accepted truth as the  goal for your relationship, you became givers of peace as surely as
Tx:17.79  givers of peace as surely as your Father gave peace to you. For the  goal of peace cannot be accepted apart from its conditions, and you
Tx:18.1  you would perceive at once how much at variance this is with the  goal the Holy Spirit has given you and would accomplish for you. To
Tx:18.24  bring a light into the darkness but made the darkness deeper. Your  goal was darkness in which no ray of light could enter. And you
Tx:18.25  and sometimes to stark terror. But you will advance because your  goal is the advance from fear to truth. You know this. The goal which
Tx:18.25  your goal is the advance from fear to truth. You know this. The  goal which you accepted is the goal of knowledge, for which you
Tx:18.25  fear to truth. You know this. The goal which you accepted is the  goal of knowledge, for which you signified your willingness. Fear
Tx:18.25  an instant of light, and it will be enough to remind you that your  goal is light. Truth has rushed to meet you since you called upon it.
Tx:18.28 Each instant that we spend together will teach you that this  goal is possible and will strengthen your desire to reach it. And in
Tx:18.63  No one accepts Atonement for himself who still accepts sin as his  goal. You have thus not met your one responsibility. Atonement is not
Tx:18.66  at saving time. You are attempting to follow a very long road to the  goal you have accepted. It is extremely difficult to reach Atonement
Tx:18.67  comes at last into the mind given to contemplation; or when the  goal is finally achieved by anyone, it always comes with just one
Tx:19.1  never be attained, for what is wholly dedicated to truth as its only  goal is brought to truth by faith. This faith encompasses everyone
Tx:19.6  in the same place. To dedicate yourself to both is to set up a  goal forever impossible to attain, for part of it is sought through
Tx:19.6  that the body must be healed, and not the mind. For this divided  goal has given both an equal reality, which could be possible only if
Tx:19.15  of making lovely which they begin. For faith is still a learning  goal, no longer needed when the lesson has been learned. Yet truth
Tx:19.33  and to each other. Your holy relationship has as its purpose now the  goal of proving this is impossible. Heaven has smiled upon it, and
Tx:19.37  [has already begun. This is the way in which He will bring means and  goal in line. The peace He laid deep within both of you] will quietly

Tx:19.69  it. The body will seem to be whatever is the means for reaching the  goal that you assign to it. [Only the mind can set a purpose, and
Tx:19.75  is true. Forget not that the ego has dedicated the body to the  goal of sin and places in it all its faith that this can be
Tx:19.83  final and complete disruption of communication which is the ego's  goal.
Tx:20.58  only joy. But we have also said the means to meet the Holy Spirit's  goal will come from the same Source as does His purpose. Being so
Tx:20.59  the means to Him Who changed the purpose. You recognize you want the  goal. Are you not also willing to accept the means? If you are not,
Tx:20.60 To obtain the  goal, the Holy Spirit indeed asked little. He asks no more to give
Tx:20.60  asks no more to give the means as well. The means are second to the  goal. And when you hesitate, it is because the purpose frightens you,
Tx:20.60  they be difficult if they are merely given you? They guarantee the  goal, and they are perfectly in line with it. Before we look at them
Tx:20.60  impossible, your wanting of the purpose has been shaken. For if a  goal is possible to reach, the means to do so must be possible as
Tx:20.61  look upon him as a body. Is this not perfectly consistent with the  goal of holiness? For holiness is merely the result of letting the
Tx:20.64  thing apart from the intention. The means seem real because the  goal is valued. And judgment has no value unless the goal is sin.
Tx:20.64  because the goal is valued. And judgment has no value unless the  goal is sin.
Tx:20.66  sinlessness is your escape from fear. Salvation is the Holy Spirit's  goal. The means is vision. For what the seeing look upon is sinless.
Tx:20.75  what you see. For what you see is merely how you elect to meet your  goal. Hallucinations serve to meet the goal of madness. They are the
Tx:20.75  how you elect to meet your goal. Hallucinations serve to meet the  goal of madness. They are the means by which the outside world,
Tx:21.15  what I see. I chose the feelings I experience, and I decided on the  goal I would achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me, I
Tx:21.17  outside of which is nothing. Suffer, and you decided sin was your  goal. Be happy, and you gave the power of decision to Him Who must
Tx:21.24  in the unreal leads to adjustments of reality to make it fit the  goal of madness. The goal of sin induces the perception of a fearful
Tx:21.24  to adjustments of reality to make it fit the goal of madness. The  goal of sin induces the perception of a fearful world to justify its
Tx:21.29 All special relationships have sin as their  goal. For they are bargains with reality, toward which the seeming
Tx:21.30  he desires it, for nothing is so cherished and protected as is a  goal the mind accepts. This it will follow, grimly or happily, but
Tx:21.32 Faith and belief and vision are the means by which the  goal of holiness is reached. Through them the Holy Spirit leads you
Tx:21.40  differently. You can have faith in it to serve the Holy Spirit's  goal and give it power to serve as means to help the blind to see.
Tx:21.55  in its own right. It is not reinterpreted and redirected from the  goal of sin as are the others. For reason is beyond the ego's range
Tx:21.65  which it is the means, leads steadily away from madness toward the  goal of truth. And here you will lay down the burden of denying

W1:72.11 Our  goal in the longer practice periods today is to become aware that
W1:72.11  for salvation has already been accomplished in us. To achieve this  goal, we must replace attack with acceptance. As long as we attack
W1:74.1  conflicting goals. As an expression of the Will of God, you have no  goal but His.
W1:75.4  is what we want to see, and only this. Our single purpose makes our  goal inevitable. Today the real world rises before us in gladness, to

W1:R3.4  should be done as soon as you have changed your mind about your  goal. You are unwilling to cooperate in practicing salvation only if
W1:126.1  there would be no problem in complete forgiveness, certainty of  goal, and sure direction. You would understand the means by which
W1:126.11 As often as you can, remind yourself you have a  goal today—an aim which makes this day of special value to yourself
W1:126.11  to yourself and all your brothers. Do not let your mind forget this  goal for long, but tell yourself:
W1:127.6  step this course requests in your advance toward its established  goal. If you achieve the faintest glimmering of what love means
W1:131.4  surely do the thing you came for. But the world cannot dictate the  goal for which you search unless you give it power to do so.
W1:131.4  give it power to do so. Otherwise, you still are free to choose a  goal that lies beyond the world and every worldly thought and one
W1:131.5  Be glad as well to learn you search for Heaven and must find the  goal you really want. No one can fail to want this goal and reach it

W1:131.11  is truth we ask to reach today. We will devote ten minutes to this  goal three times today, and we will ask to see the rising of the real
W1:131.15  you make today. Nothing but this has any meaning now; no other  goal is valued now nor sought; nothing before this door you really

W1:139.8  the madness which we once believed in. Let us not forget the  goal that we accepted. It is more than just our happiness alone we

W1:158.6  unlearned, untaught, unseen, is merely there. This is beyond our  goal, for it transcends what needs to be accomplished. Our concern is
W1:158.8  anything that faintly can compare with this in value; nor set up a  goal which does not merely disappear when this has been perceived.
W1:169.1  for it leads beyond the world entirely. It is past learning yet the  goal of learning, for grace cannot come until the mind prepares
W1:169.3  The final step must go beyond all learning. Grace is not the  goal this course aspires to attain. Yet we prepare for grace in that
W1:169.14 Our learning  goal today does not exceed this prayer, yet in the world, what could

W1:186.11  They will not change nor be in conflict. All of them point to one  goal, and one you can attain. Your plan may be impossible, but God's
W1:194.1  that it encompasses, it sets you down just short of Heaven, with the  goal in sight and obstacles behind. Your foot has reached the lawns
W1:194.1  we progressing now from earth! How close are we approaching to our  goal! How short the journey still to be pursued!
W1:199.4  a vehicle which helps forgiveness be extended to the all-inclusive  goal that it must reach according to God's plan.
W1:199.6  And it becomes perfect in the ability to serve an undivided  goal. In conflict-free and unequivocal response to mind with but the
W1:199.6  unequivocal response to mind with but the thought of freedom as its  goal, the body serves, and serves its purpose well. Without the power

W1:205.1  The peace of God is everything I want. The peace of God is my one  goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I seek, my purpose and

W2:257.1 If I forget my  goal, I can be but confused, unsure of what I am and thus conflicted
W2:258.1  to overlook all little, senseless aims and to remember that our  goal is God. His memory is hidden in our minds, obscured but by our
W2:258.1  toys and trinkets of the world are sought instead? God is our only  goal, our only Love. We have no aim but to remember Him.
W2:258.2 Our  goal is but to follow in the way that leads to You. We have no goal

W2:WIC.5  it is but the symbol that the time for learning now is over and the  goal of the Atonement has been reached at last? So therefore let us
W2:WIHS.2 The  goal the Holy Spirit's teaching sets is just this end of dreams. For
W2:WIHS.2  when this is entirely accomplished, learning has achieved the only  goal it has in truth. For learning, as the Holy Spirit guides it to
W2:286.2  we have found the way and traveled far along it to a wholly certain  goal. Today we will not doubt the end which God Himself has promised
W2:287.2 You are my  goal, my Father. What but You could I desire to have? What way but
W2:287.2  of dreams and futile substitutions for the truth? You are my only  goal. Your Son would be as You created him. What way but this could I

W2:319.2 Father, Your Will is total. And the  goal that stems from it shares its totality. What aim but the
W2:FL.3  salvation. Unto us the aim is given to forgive the world. It is the  goal that God has given us. It is His ending to the dream we seek,
W2:FL.4  us to be His own completion in reality. So let us not forget our  goal is shared. For it is that remembrance which contains the memory
W2:E.4  sure as He of how you should proceed, as confident as He is of the  goal and of your safe arrival in the end.

Tx:2.5 To “project,” as defined above, is a fundamental attribute of  God which He gave to His Son. In the creation, God projected His
Tx:2.5  attribute of God which He gave to His Son. In the creation,  God projected His creative ability from Himself to the Souls He
Tx:2.5  Because of its likeness to its Creator, it is creative. No Child of  God can lose this ability because it is inherent in what he is, but

Tx:2.11  everything that He created is like Him. Projection, as undertaken by  God, is very similar to the kind of inner radiance which the Children

Tx:2.18  destroy peace. That is why the Bible speaks of “the peace of  God which passeth (human) understanding.” This peace is totally
Tx:2.18  of any kind. It denies the ability of anything which is not of  God to affect you in any way.

Tx:2.50 The Children of  God are entitled to perfect comfort, which comes from a sense of

Tx:2.110  is frightening not only because it has been falsely projected onto  God, but also because of the association of “last” with death. This
Tx:3.2  we said that awe is inappropriate in connection with the Sons of  God because you should not experience awe in the presence of your
Tx:3.3  steps in this course, however, do involve a more direct approach to  God Himself. It would be most unwise to start on these steps without

Tx:3.10  the present. Time is under my direction, but Timelessness belongs to  God alone. In time we exist for and with each other. In Timelessness
Tx:3.10  we exist for and with each other. In Timelessness we coexist with  God.
Tx:3.11  is seen from an upside-down point of view, it does appear as if  God permitted and even encouraged one of his Sons to suffer because
Tx:3.12  my would-be followers, has led many people to be bitterly afraid of  God. This particularly anti-religious concept enters into many
Tx:3.12  would have to pause and ask, “How could this be?” Is it likely that  God Himself would be capable of the kind of thinking which His own
Tx:3.13  result, undertaken to justify the terrible misperception that  God Himself persecuted His own Son on behalf of salvation. The very
Tx:3.15  misperception of truth by which man assigns his own “evil” past to  God. The “evil conscience” from the past has nothing to do with God.
Tx:3.15  to God. The “evil conscience” from the past has nothing to do with  God. He did not create it, and He does not maintain it. God does not

Tx:3.16  responsible for a host of related errors including the belief that  God rejected man and forced him out of the Garden of Eden. It is also
Tx:3.17  God Himself is not symbolic; He is fact. The Atonement too is totally
Tx:3.19 Nothing can prevail against a Son of  God who commends his Spirit into the hands of his Father. By doing
Tx:3.19  of separation disappears, and level confusion vanishes. The Son of  God is part of the Holy Trinity, but the Trinity itself is One. There
Tx:3.19  purpose creates perfect integration and establishes the peace of  God. Yet this vision can be perceived only by the truly innocent.
Tx:3.21 Sacrifice is a notion totally unknown to  God. It arises solely from fear. This is particularly unfortunate
Tx:3.22 I have been correctly referred to as “the Lamb of  God who taketh away the sins of the world.” Those who represent the
Tx:3.24  the meaning of the Atonement is perfectly apparent. The innocence of  God is the true state of mind of His Son. In this state, man's mind
Tx:3.24  true state of mind of His Son. In this state, man's mind does see  God [and because] he sees Him as he is[, he knows] that the
Tx:3.28  see anything but perfection. We have said many times that only what  God creates, or what man creates with the same will, has any real
Tx:3.31  fact that you do not recognize or know yourselves, each other, or  God. To recognize means to “know again,” implying that you knew
Tx:3.35  you to “know yourself” or be certain. Certainty is always of  God. When you love someone, you have perceived him as he is, and this
Tx:3.35  recognize him that you can know him. While you ask questions about  God, you are clearly implying that you do not know Him. Certainty
Tx:3.36  so that you can know him. Right perception is necessary before  God can communicate directly to His own altars which He has
Tx:3.37  God is not a stranger to His Sons, and His Sons are not strangers to
Tx:3.37  them. That is the real meaning of the Biblical description of  God as “Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End.” It also explains
Tx:3.37  can and must be stabilized, but knowledge is stable. “Fear  God and keep His commandments” should read “Know God and accept His

Tx:3.48  God and the Souls He created remain in surety, and therefore know
Tx:3.50  Strong wills can do this now, and you will find rest for your Souls.  God knows you only in peace, and this is your reality.
Tx:3.53  human beings are not. Nevertheless, they are perfectly stable as  God created them. In this sense, when their behavior is unstable they
Tx:3.57  to mean “thought” and “likeness” is taken as “of a like quality.”  God did create the Soul in His own Thought and of a quality like to
Tx:3.59  minds have willed to see themselves as separate. Each Soul knows  God completely. That is the miraculous power of the Soul. The fact
Tx:3.60  Communion, not prayer, is the natural state of those who know.  God and His miracles are inseparable. How beautiful indeed are the
Tx:3.60  miracles are inseparable. How beautiful indeed are the Thoughts of  God who live in His light! Your worth is beyond perception because it
Tx:3.66  error of all those who believe they have usurped the power of  God.
Tx:3.67 The belief is very frightening to them but hardly troubles  God. He is, however, eager to undo it, not to punish His Children,
Tx:3.69  their own rejection is impossible. You have not usurped the power of  God, but you have lost it. Fortunately, when you lose something, it
Tx:3.70  routes from the denial of Authorship. The offense is never to  God, but only to those who deny Him. To deny His Authorship is to
Tx:3.72  system which is based on lies is weak. Nothing made by a Child of  God is without power. It is essential to realize this because
Tx:3.73  also know that you cannot weaken it, any more than you can weaken  God. The “devil” is a frightening concept, because he is thought of
Tx:3.73  and extremely active. He is perceived as a force in combat with  God, battling Him for possession of the Souls He created. He deceives
Tx:3.73  kingdoms of his own in which everything is in direct opposition to  God. Yet he attracts men rather than repels them, and they are seen
Tx:3.75  of only one tree was “forbidden” to man in his symbolic garden. But  God could not have forbidden it or it could not have been eaten. If
Tx:3.75  God could not have forbidden it or it could not have been eaten. If  God knows His Children, and I assure you that He does, would He have
Tx:3.75  “tree” which was forbidden was named the “tree of knowledge.” Yet  God created knowledge and gave it freely to His creations. The
Tx:3.75  but you may be sure that any interpretation which sees either  God or His creations as capable of destroying their own purpose is in
Tx:3.76  self the ability for self-creating. This is the only sense in which  God and His Souls are not co-creators. The belief that they are is
Tx:3.78  It is powerful, active, destructive, and clearly in opposition to  God because it literally denies His Fatherhood. Never underestimate
Tx:3.79 Your creation by  God is the only foundation which cannot be shaken because the light
Tx:3.80  To believe that they can be reconciled is to believe that  God and man can not. Only the oneness of knowledge is conflictless.

Tx:4.14  by your teaching or your learning. Your worth was established by  God. As long as you dispute this, everything you do will be fearful,
Tx:4.14  debatable except in delusions. Your ego is never at stake because  God did not create it. Your Soul is never at stake because He did.
Tx:4.15  easy reach of your Soul. When you are afraid, be still and know that  God is real and you are His beloved Son in whom He is well pleased.
Tx:4.16  God is not the author of fear. You are. You have chosen, therefore,
Tx:4.16  You are not at peace because you are not fulfilling your function.  God gave you a very lofty responsibility which you are not meeting.
Tx:4.17 The word “inevitable” is fearful to the ego but joyous to the Soul.  God is inevitable, and you cannot avoid Him any more than He can
Tx:4.17  behind! Do not listen to it, and do not preserve it. Listen only to  God, Who is as incapable of deception as are the Souls He created.
Tx:4.18  this impoverished house stand. Its weakness is your strength. Only  God could make a home that is worthy of His creations, who have
Tx:4.18  you when you choose to enter it. Of this you can be wholly certain.  God is as incapable of creating the perishable as the ego is of
Tx:4.19  beyond perception, and stand forever as the mark of the Love of  God for His creations, who are wholly worthy of Him and only of Him.
Tx:4.19  Nothing else is sufficiently worthy to be a gift for a creation of  God Himself.
Tx:4.27  as a very real part of himself. Man reacts to his ego much as  God does to His Souls: with love, protection, and great charity. The
Tx:4.28  viewpoint. [That is why the Bible quotes me as saying “Ye believe in  God, believe also in me.” Belief does apply to me, because I am the
Tx:4.28  the ego.] When teaching is no longer necessary, you will merely know  God. Belief that there is another way is the loftiest idea of which
Tx:4.29  Be patient awhile and remember that the outcome is as certain as  God.
Tx:4.34  is why self-esteem in ego terms must be a delusion. The creations of  God do not create myths, although the creative efforts of man can
Tx:4.46  of the lofty is actually much greater to the ego because the pull of  God Himself can hardly be equated with the pull of human appetites.
Tx:4.47 The upper level of the unconscious thus contains the Call of  God as well as the call of the body. That is why the basic conflict
Tx:4.48  can its meager offering to you prevail against the glorious gift of  God?
Tx:4.49 You who identify with your egos cannot believe that  God loves you. You do not love what you have made, and what you made
Tx:4.49  You cannot conceive of the real relationship which exists between  God and His Souls because of the hatred you have for the self you
Tx:4.51  enough or worthy enough to guide you. In this you are as free as  God and must remain so forever. You can never be bound except in
Tx:4.53 I will never forsake you any more than  God will, but I must wait as long as you choose to forsake yourself.
Tx:4.54  deeply repressed by the ego, is the declaration of your release.  God has given you everything. This is the one fact that means the ego
Tx:4.54  is why we made no distinction before between having the Kingdom of  God and being the Kingdom of God.
Tx:4.54  before between having the Kingdom of God and being the Kingdom of  God.
Tx:4.56 If you cannot hear the Voice of  God, it is because you do not choose to listen. The fact that you do
Tx:4.56  to save the face of your egos, and you do not seek the Face of  God. The glass in which the ego seeks to see its face is dark indeed.
Tx:4.57  not be. In every case you have thought wrongly about some Soul that  God created and are perceiving images your ego makes in a darkened
Tx:4.57  makes in a darkened glass. Think honestly what you have thought that  God would not have thought and what you have not thought that God
Tx:4.57  that God would not have thought and what you have not thought that  God would have you think. Search sincerely for what you have done and
Tx:4.61  you feel guilty, know that the ego has indeed violated the laws of  God, but you have not. Leave the sins of the ego to me. That is what
Tx:4.63 The habit of engaging with  God and His creations is easily made if you actively refuse to let
Tx:4.63  of them you have refused? There is no limit to the power of a Son of  God, but he himself can limit the expression of his power as much as
Tx:4.64  can unite in shining your ego away and releasing the strength of  God into everything you think and will and do. Do not settle for
Tx:4.65 You are mirrors of truth in which  God Himself shines in perfect light. To the ego's dark glass you need
Tx:4.66  is just another name for the creation, for Christ is the Son of  God. The second coming of Christ means nothing more than the end of
Tx:4.68  that life is an eternal attribute of everything that the living  God created. Why do you believe it is harder for me to inspire the
Tx:4.70  state is its lack of discrimination between impulses from  God and from the body. Any thought system which makes this confusion
Tx:4.70  or non-threat to itself. In one sense the ego's fear of the idea of  God is at least logical, since this idea does dispel the ego. Fear of
Tx:4.71  body's vulnerability is its own best argument that you cannot be of  God. This is the belief that the ego sponsors eagerly. Yet the ego
Tx:4.74  to anything that is eternal because the eternal must come from  God. Eternalness is the one function which the ego has tried to
Tx:4.87  and can never induce more than a temporary effect. The rewards of  God, however, are immediately recognized as eternal. Since this
Tx:4.90  gratitude to each other is the only gift I want. I will bring it to  God for you, knowing that to know your brother is to know God. A
Tx:4.90  it to God for you, knowing that to know your brother is to know  God. A little knowledge is an all-encompassing thing. If you are
Tx:4.90  thing. If you are grateful to each other, you are grateful to  God for what He created. Through your gratitude, you can come to know
Tx:4.90  but it does set all things right. Because you are all the Kingdom of  God, I can lead you back to your own creations, which you do not yet
Tx:4.91  it is inherent in it. Meditation is a collaborative venture with  God. It cannot be undertaken successfully by those who disengage
Tx:4.91  from the Sonship because they are disengaging themselves from me.  God will come to you only as you will give Him to your brothers.
Tx:4.91  to your brothers. Learn first of them, and you will be ready to hear  God as you hear them. That is because the function of love is one.
Tx:4.93  really want the rewards of the ego in the presence of the rewards of  God?
Tx:4.96  what is true. It knows that what is true is everything that  God created. It is in complete and direct communication with every
Tx:4.97 This communication is the Will of  God. Creation and communication are synonymous. God created every
Tx:4.97  is the Will of God. Creation and communication are synonymous.  God created every mind by communicating His Mind to it, thus
Tx:4.97  and not subject to any judgment, any exception, or any alteration.  God created you by this and for this. The mind can distort its
Tx:4.99  God, Who encompasses all being, nevertheless created beings who have
Tx:4.99  Nothing that is real can be increased except by sharing. That is why  God Himself created you. Divine Abstraction takes joy in application,
Tx:4.100 The Bible repeatedly states that you should praise  God. This hardly means that you should tell Him how wonderful He is.
Tx:4.101  God has kept your kingdom for you, but He cannot share His joy with
Tx:4.101  mind. Even revelation is not enough because it is communication from  God. It is not enough until it is shared. God does not need
Tx:4.101  it is communication from God. It is not enough until it is shared.  God does not need revelation returned to Him, which would clearly be
Tx:4.102  God is praised whenever any mind learns to be wholly helpful. This is
Tx:4.102  so that nothing can hurt them. Their helpfulness is their praise of  God, and He will return their praise of Him because they are like

Tx:5.20  whole Sonship is healed, there will be no call to return, but what  God creates is eternal. The Holy Spirit will remain with the Sons of
Tx:5.20  God creates is eternal. The Holy Spirit will remain with the Sons of  God to bless their creations and keep them in the light of joy.
Tx:5.21  You knew as you will know again, but as you do not know now.  God does not guide because He can share only perfect knowledge.
Tx:5.22  It means that knowledge has been lost, because knowledge is sure.  God is not in you in a literal sense; you are part of Him. When you
Tx:5.23  of choosing. This way is in you because there is also another way.  God did not leave His Children comfortless, even though they chose to
Tx:5.24  the midst of the turmoil you have made for yourselves. The Voice for  God is always quiet, because it speaks of peace. Yet peace is
Tx:5.25  mind which always speaks for the right choice because He speaks for  God. He is your remaining communication with God, which you can
Tx:5.25  because He speaks for God. He is your remaining communication with  God, which you can interrupt but cannot destroy.
Tx:5.26  of both is in your will and therefore in your mind. The Voice for  God comes from your own altars to Him. These altars are not things;
Tx:5.27  you will to learn. I am your model for decision. By deciding for  God, I showed you that this decision can be made and that you can
Tx:5.28  weariness. Our task is the joyous one of waking it to the Call for  God. Everyone will answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship
Tx:5.30  mind to do this. This mind is the Holy Spirit, whose will is for  God always. He teaches you how to keep me as the model for your
Tx:5.31  What we can accomplish together has no limits, because the Call for  God is the call to the unlimited. Child of God, my message is for you
Tx:5.31  because the Call for God is the call to the unlimited. Child of  God, my message is for you to hear and give away as you answer the
Tx:5.33  Being thought, the idea gains as it is shared. Being the Call for  God, it is also the idea of God. Since you are part of God, it is
Tx:5.33  as it is shared. Being the Call for God, it is also the idea of  God. Since you are part of God, it is also the idea of yourself as
Tx:5.33  the Call for God, it is also the idea of God. Since you are part of  God, it is also the idea of yourself as well as of all the parts of
Tx:5.33  God, it is also the idea of yourself as well as of all the parts of  God. The idea of the Holy Spirit shares the property of other ideas,
Tx:5.34 Your brother may have dissociated the Call for  God, just as you have. The dissociation is healed in both of you as
Tx:5.34  is healed in both of you as you become aware of the Call for  God in him and thus acknowledge its being. There are two ways of
Tx:5.37  the ego and the Soul, with time and eternity. Eternity is an idea of  God, so the Soul understands it perfectly. Time is a belief of the
Tx:5.38  symbols into eternity also enables Him to understand the laws of  God, for which He speaks. He can thus perform the function of
Tx:5.38  the task of the Holy Spirit to reinterpret you on behalf of  God.
Tx:5.39  place in the Sonship and the rightful place of the Sonship [is]  God. This is your life, your eternity, and yourself. It is of this
Tx:5.41  going counter to his will because part of his will is still for  God. Despite the ego's attempts to conceal this part, it is still
Tx:5.42  at home there, too, because it is a place of peace, and peace is of  God. You who are part of God are not at home except in His peace. If
Tx:5.42  it is a place of peace, and peace is of God. You who are part of  God are not at home except in His peace. If peace is eternal, you are
Tx:5.43  and understand as He understands. His understanding looks back to  God in remembrance of me. He is in Holy Communion always, and He is
Tx:5.45  guilt. They came from the Holy Spirit within you, and we know what  God creates is eternal. What fear has hidden still is part of you.
Tx:5.46  it. It is yours because it is a part of you, just as you are part of  God because He created you.
Tx:5.50  even in this world to listen to one voice. If you are part of  God and the Sonship is one, you cannot be limited to the “self” the
Tx:5.52  that was in me is still irresistibly drawn to every mind created by  God, because God's Wholeness is the wholeness of His Son.
Tx:5.54  you have placed in your mind. By following Him, He leads you back to  God where you belong, and how can you find this way except by taking
Tx:5.55  forsake you, because to forsake you would be to forsake myself and  God who created me. You will forsake yourselves and God if you
Tx:5.55  myself and God who created me. You will forsake yourselves and  God if you forsake any of your brothers. You are more than your
Tx:5.55  him. You must learn to see him as he is and know that he belongs to  God as you do. How could you treat your brother better than by
Tx:5.55  do. How could you treat your brother better than by rendering unto  God the things which are God's?
Tx:5.57  gives you the power of a healed mind, but the power to create is of  God. Therefore, those who have been forgiven must devote themselves
Tx:5.57  because only the complete can think completely, and the thinking of  God lacks nothing. Everything you think that is not through the Holy
Tx:5.58  it and share it, that it may always be ours. I place the peace of  God in your heart and in your hands, to hold and share. The heart is
Tx:5.58  give it. We cannot lose. My judgment is as strong as the wisdom of  God, in Whose heart and hands we have our being. His quiet Children
Tx:5.58  our being. His quiet Children are His blessed Sons. The thoughts of  God are with you.
Tx:5.60  it is also the symbol of guilt. Guilt is more than merely not of  God. It is the symbol of the attack on God. This is a totally
Tx:5.60  is more than merely not of God. It is the symbol of the attack on  God. This is a totally meaningless concept except to the ego, but do
Tx:5.61  is the part of the mind which believes in division. How can part of  God detach itself without believing it is attacking Him? We spoke
Tx:5.62 However ridiculous the idea of attacking  God may be to the sane mind, never forget that the ego is not sane.
Tx:5.62  to the ego's voice means that you believe it is possible to attack  God. You believe that a part of Him has been torn away by you. The
Tx:5.63  it to enter makes it your reality. This is because the mind, as  God created it, is capable of creating reality. We said before that
Tx:5.63  creating reality. We said before that you must learn to think with  God. To think with Him is to think like Him. This engenders joy, not
Tx:5.65  believes that by punishing itself it will mitigate the punishment of  God. Yet even in this it is arrogant. It attributes to God a
Tx:5.65  punishment of God. Yet even in this it is arrogant. It attributes to  God a punishing intent, and then takes over this intent as its own
Tx:5.65  as its own prerogative. It tries to usurp all the functions of  God as it perceives them, because it recognizes that only total
Tx:5.66 The ego cannot oppose the laws of  God any more than you can, but it can interpret them according to
Tx:5.67  obey. The ego and the Holy Spirit are the only choices open to you.  God created one, and so you cannot eradicate it. You made the other,
Tx:5.67  cannot eradicate it. You made the other, and so you can. Only what  God creates is irreversible and unchangeable. What you have made can
Tx:5.67  have made can always be changed, because when you do not think like  God you are not really thinking at all. Delusional ideas are not real
Tx:5.67  in them. But you are wrong. The function of thought comes from  God and is in God. As part of His Thought, you cannot think apart
Tx:5.67  But you are wrong. The function of thought comes from God and is in  God. As part of His Thought, you cannot think apart from Him.
Tx:5.68 Irrational thought is a thought disorder.  God Himself orders your thought because your thought was created by
Tx:5.68  know this. They also show that you believe you can think apart from  God and want to. Every thought disorder is attended by guilt at its
Tx:5.71  God in His knowledge is not waiting, but His Kingdom is bereft while
Tx:5.71  waiting, but His Kingdom is bereft while you wait. All the Sons of  God are waiting for your return, just as you are waiting for theirs.
Tx:5.71  You do not belong in time. Your place is only in eternity, where  God Himself placed you forever.
Tx:5.72  the belief that you cannot escape from it. But you can and must.  God offers you the continuity of eternity in exchange. When you
Tx:5.73  mind does indeed know its power, because the mind does indeed know  God. Remember the Kingdom always, and remember that you who are part
Tx:5.73  the Kingdom cannot be lost. The mind that was in me is in you, for  God creates with perfect fairness. Let the Holy Spirit remind you
Tx:5.76  it in you because it does not belong in your mind, which is part of  God.
Tx:5.79  the case against you. There can be no case against a Child of  God, and every witness to guilt in God's creations is bearing false
Tx:5.79  witness to guilt in God's creations is bearing false witness to  God Himself.
Tx:5.80  The case may be foolproof, but it is not God-proof. The Voice for  God will not hear it at all because He can only witness truly. His
Tx:5.81  with each other is your patience with yourselves. Is not a Child of  God worth patience? I have shown you infinite patience because my
Tx:5.82  when it is no longer useful. The Holy Spirit, Who speaks for  God in time, also knows that time is meaningless. He reminds you of
Tx:5.82  is so truly blessed, and because He has been given you so freely by  God, you must give Him as you received Him.
Tx:5.83  that God's peace is set in the Holy Spirit because it is fixed on  God. It is also fixed in you. You, then, are fixed in the peace of
Tx:5.83  God. It is also fixed in you. You, then, are fixed in the peace of  God. The concept of “fixation” is also a very helpful one which Freud
Tx:5.85 Fixation is the pull of  God, on whom your mind is fixed because of the Holy Spirit's
Tx:5.89  because you are in the same position. You were eternally fixated on  God in your creation, and the pull of this fixation is so strong that
Tx:5.91  order of difficulty in miracles. He has not learned that every mind  God created is equally worthy of being healed because God created it
Tx:5.91  every mind God created is equally worthy of being healed because  God created it whole. You are merely asked to return to God the mind
Tx:5.91  because God created it whole. You are merely asked to return to  God the mind as He created it. He asks you only for what He gave,
Tx:5.92  calls which you think are made upon you when you know the Voice of  God Himself is in you? God commended His Spirit to you and asks that
Tx:5.92  are made upon you when you know the Voice of God Himself is in you?  God commended His Spirit to you and asks that you commend yours to
Tx:5.93  because, as I told you before, the remedy is not of your making.  God Himself gave you the perfect correction for everything you have
Tx:5.93  that you fulfill it. There is time for delay, but there need not be.  God weeps at the “sacrifice” of His Children, who believe they are
Tx:5.94  is because you have reacted with a lack of love to some Soul which  God created. Perceiving this as “sin,” you become defensive because
Tx:5.95  which does not come from you, is nevertheless within you because  God placed it there. Your part is merely to return your thinking to
Tx:5.96  if I will let Him. I will to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for  God for Me.
Tx:6.6  lies in the apparent intensity of the assault of some of the Sons of  God upon another. This, of course, is impossible and must be fully
Tx:6.9  you are teaching persecution. This is not a lesson which the Sons of  God should want to teach if they are to realize their own salvation.
Tx:6.10  is merely the dawning on your minds of what is already in them.  God placed it there Himself, and so it is true forever. I believed in
Tx:6.10  Help me to teach it to our brothers in the name of the Kingdom of  God, but first believe that it is true for you, or you will teach
Tx:6.12  love has a hidden altar which is not serving the purpose for which  God intended it. I must found His church on you because you who
Tx:6.13  the ego did not matter. As the world judges these things, but not as  God knows them, I was betrayed, abandoned, beaten, torn, and finally
Tx:6.15  to give in to anger and assault would not be so extreme. I will with  God that none of His Sons should suffer.
Tx:6.16 Remember that the Holy Spirit is the communication link between  God the Father and His separated Sons. If you will listen to His
Tx:6.16  is the symbol of sharing, because the reawakening of every Son of  God is necessary to enable the Sonship to know its wholeness. Only
Tx:6.21  upon Judas was a similar reversal. Judas was my brother and a Son of  God, as much a part of the Sonship as myself. Was it likely that I
Tx:6.22  but for teachers. No one is “punished” for sins, and the Sons of  God are not sinners.
Tx:6.23  [is] the perfect symbol of conflict between the ego and the Son of  God. [It was as much intrapersonal as interpersonal then, just as it
Tx:6.23  your weakened ability to be grateful, or you cannot appreciate  God. He does not need your appreciation, but you do.
Tx:6.24  it. As a result, you will teach rejection. The power of the Sons of  God is operating all the time because they were created as creators.
Tx:6.24  As long as you teach this, you still believe it. This is not as  God thinks, and you must think as He thinks if you are to know Him
Tx:6.25  part of it, and this is the belief in separation. The wholeness of  God, which is His peace, cannot be appreciated except by a whole mind
Tx:6.30  by realizing that you are not there? You cannot be anywhere that  God did not put you, and God created you as part of Him. That is both
Tx:6.30  are not there? You cannot be anywhere that God did not put you, and  God created you as part of Him. That is both where you are and what
Tx:6.30  It is forever true. It is not a belief but a fact. Anything that  God create[s] is as true as He is. Its truth lies only in its perfect
Tx:6.31  of God's knowing. The ego's perception has no counterpart in  God, but the Holy Spirit remains the bridge between perception and
Tx:6.31  Your perception will end where it began. Everything meets in  God, because everything was created by Him and in Him.
Tx:6.32  God created His Sons by extending His Thought and retaining the
Tx:6.32  of inclusion, directed by the Holy Spirit under the laws of  God. God created you to create. You cannot extend His Kingdom until
Tx:6.32  of inclusion, directed by the Holy Spirit under the laws of God.  God created you to create. You cannot extend His Kingdom until you
Tx:6.33  therefore use it well. He can inspire perception and lead it toward  God by making it parallel to God's way of thinking and thus guarantee
Tx:6.34 The Holy Spirit uses time but does not believe in it. Coming from  God, He uses everything for good, but He does not believe in what is
Tx:6.34  true. The Holy Spirit can speak only for this because he speaks for  God. He tells you to return your whole mind to God, because it has
Tx:6.34  because he speaks for God. He tells you to return your whole mind to  God, because it has never left Him. If it has never left Him, you
Tx:6.36  Holy Spirit sees. This line is the direct line of communication with  God and lets your mind converge with His. There is no conflict
Tx:6.36  all perception is guided by the Holy Spirit, Whose Mind is fixed on  God. Only the Holy Spirit can resolve conflict, because only the Holy
Tx:6.37  united, He offers the whole Kingdom always. This is the one message  God gave to Him and for which He must speak, because that is what He
Tx:6.37  for which He must speak, because that is what He is. The peace of  God lies in that message, and so the peace of God lies in you.
Tx:6.37  He is. The peace of God lies in that message, and so the peace of  God lies in you.
Tx:6.38  and by joining our minds in this light, we proclaim the Kingdom of  God together and as one.
Tx:6.40  nothing, He presents no barrier at all to the communication of  God. Thus, being is never threatened. Your Godlike mind can never be
Tx:6.42  fully, it does not see the need to protect itself. The protection of  God then dawns upon it, assuring it that it is perfectly safe
Tx:6.46 When  God created you, He made you part of Him. That is why attack within
Tx:6.46  of your mind that believes you are separate and outside the Mind of  God. The ego, then, raised the first question that was ever asked,
Tx:6.50  Spirit to all the questions which the ego raises. You are a Child of  God, a priceless part of His Kingdom, which He created as part of
Tx:6.50  in which you have had bad dreams, but the sleep is not real, and  God calls you to awake. There will be nothing left of your dream when
Tx:6.51  been. Being alone lives in the Kingdom, where everything lives in  God without question. The time that was spent on questioning in the
Tx:6.52 You are as certain as  God because you are as true as He is, but what was once quite certain
Tx:6.53  developed, or you cannot use them. This is not true of anything that  God created, but it is the kindest solution possible to what you have
Tx:6.54  possible to be in one. You would be in an impossible situation if  God showed you your perfection and proved to you that you were wrong.
Tx:6.54  This is the kind of “reasoning” which the ego engages in, but  God, Who knows that His creations are perfect, does not insult them.
Tx:6.55  not exist. Fidelity to premises is a law of mind, and everything  God created is faithful to His laws. Fidelity to other laws is also
Tx:6.55  laws are true, but because you made them. What would be gained if  God proved to you that you have thought insanely? Can God lose His
Tx:6.55  be gained if God proved to you that you have thought insanely? Can  God lose His own certainty? We have frequently stated that what you
Tx:6.55  have frequently stated that what you teach you are. Would you have  God teach you that you have sinned? If He confronted the self you
Tx:6.56  God does not teach. To teach is to imply a lack, which God knows is
Tx:6.56 God does not teach. To teach is to imply a lack, which  God knows is not there. God is not conflicted. Teaching aims at
Tx:6.56  teach. To teach is to imply a lack, which God knows is not there.  God is not conflicted. Teaching aims at change, but God created only
Tx:6.56  is not there. God is not conflicted. Teaching aims at change, but  God created only the changeless. The separation was not a loss of
Tx:6.56  arose as the ego's voice. It could not shatter the peace of  God, but it could shatter yours. God did not blot it out, because to
Tx:6.56  It could not shatter the peace of God, but it could shatter yours.  God did not blot it out, because to eradicate it would be to attack
Tx:6.57  what was not true. You did not believe in your own perfection. Could  God teach you that you had made a split mind, when He knows your mind
Tx:6.57  had made a split mind, when He knows your mind only as whole? What  God does know is that His communication channels are not open to Him
Tx:6.60  lies in dreams, and the Holy Spirit, shining with the light from  God Himself, speaks only for what lasts forever.
Tx:6.62  God did not make the body because it is destructible and therefore
Tx:6.64  equality. Only one equal gift can be offered to the equal Sons of  God, and that is full appreciation. Nothing more and nothing less.
Tx:6.65 The Holy Spirit, who leads to  God, translates communication into being, just as He ultimately
Tx:6.76  is true, but the Holy Spirit teaches you that truth was created by  God, and your decision cannot change it. As you begin to realize the
Tx:6.76  help in reminding yourselves to allow the Holy Spirit to decide for  God for you.
Tx:6.80  To desire wholly is to create, and creating cannot be difficult if  God Himself created you as a creator. The second step, then, is still
Tx:6.82  every thought that you allow to enter your mind in the light of what  God put there. Whatever is in accord with this light, He retains to
Tx:6.84  is necessary only in your mind so that you cannot project falsely.  God Himself has established what you can project with perfect safety.
Tx:6.85 Be vigilant only for  God and His Kingdom.
Tx:6.89 If you allow yourselves to have in your minds only what  God put there, you are acknowledging your mind as God created it.
Tx:6.89  minds only what God put there, you are acknowledging your mind as  God created it. Therefore, you are accepting it as it is. Since it is
Tx:6.89  you believe in it. The final step will still be taken for you by  God, but by the third step the Holy Spirit has prepared you for God.
Tx:6.89  by God, but by the third step the Holy Spirit has prepared you for  God. He is getting you ready for the translation of having into being
Tx:6.91  for your minds, allowing you to identify only with the center, where  God placed the altar to Himself. We have already said that altars are
Tx:6.91  altar to Himself. We have already said that altars are beliefs, but  God and His creations are beyond belief, because they are beyond
Tx:6.91  are beyond belief, because they are beyond question. The Voice for  God speaks only for belief beyond question, which is the preparation
Tx:6.91  is the preparation for being without question. As long as belief in  God and His Kingdom is assailed by any doubts in your minds, His
Tx:6.93  or you cannot know what you are with certainty. Certainty is of  God for you. Vigilance is not necessary for truth, but it is
Tx:6.94  Kingdom which you valued, you did not keep only the Kingdom of  God in your minds and thus placed part of your mind outside it. What
Tx:6.95  already true and needs no protection. It is in the perfect safety of  God. Therefore inclusion is total and creation is without limit.
Tx:7.1 The creative power of both  God and His creations is limitless, but they are not in reciprocal
Tx:7.1  are not in reciprocal relationship. You do communicate fully with  God, as He does with you. This is an ongoing process in which you
Tx:7.1  you share, and because you share it, you are inspired to create like  God. Yet in creation you are not in reciprocal relation to God, since
Tx:7.1  like God. Yet in creation you are not in reciprocal relation to  God, since He created you, but you did not create Him. We have
Tx:7.2 If you created  God and He created you, the Kingdom could not increase through its
Tx:7.2  would therefore be limited, and you would not be co-creators with  God. As God's creative Thought proceeds from Him to you, so must your
Tx:7.2  the Kingdom. You claim this power when you become vigilant only for  God and His Kingdom. By accepting this power as yours, you have
Tx:7.3 Your creations belong in you, as you belong in  God. You are part of God, as your sons are part of His Sons. To
Tx:7.3 Your creations belong in you, as you belong in God. You are part of  God, as your sons are part of His Sons. To create is to love. Love
Tx:7.3  Your creations have always been, because you can create only as  God creates. Eternity is yours, because He created you eternal.
Tx:7.4  bargain is to limit giving, and this is not God's Will. To will with  God is to create like Him. God does not limit His gifts in any way.
Tx:7.4  and this is not God's Will. To will with God is to create like Him.  God does not limit His gifts in any way. You are His gifts, and so
Tx:7.5  what I was. What you believe you are determines your gifts, and if  God created you by extending Himself as you, you can only extend
Tx:7.5  Only joy increases forever, since joy and eternity are inseparable.  God extends outward beyond limits and beyond time, and you who are
Tx:7.6 To think like  God is to share His certainty of what you are and to create like Him
Tx:7.6  leads you that your joy may be complete, because the Kingdom of  God is whole. We have said that the last step in the reawakening of
Tx:7.6  said that the last step in the reawakening of knowledge is taken by  God. This is true, but it is hard to explain in words because words
Tx:7.7  God does not take steps, because His accomplishments are not gradual.
Tx:7.7  applies neither to Him nor to what He created. The “last step” that  God [was said to] take was therefore true in the beginning, is true
Tx:7.8  know what it is. You also do not know what created it or Who He is.  God does not reveal this to you, because it was never hidden. His
Tx:7.9  only kind of thinking in this world that resembles the Thought of  God, and because of the elements which they share, can transfer to
Tx:7.9  itself obscure to both of you. Sickness and separation are not of  God, but the Kingdom is. If you obscure the Kingdom, you are
Tx:7.9  is. If you obscure the Kingdom, you are perceiving what is not of  God.
Tx:7.14  or learning, because there is no belief. There is only certainty.  God and His Sons, in the surety of being, know that what you project
Tx:7.14  form of the law is not adapted at all, being the law of creation.  God Himself created the law by creating by it. And His Sons, who
Tx:7.15  is retained. The Holy Spirit is the translator of the laws of  God to those who do not understand them. You could not do this
Tx:7.18  Kingdom, because there is only one meaning. This meaning comes from  God and is God. Because it is also you, you share it and extend it as
Tx:7.18  there is only one meaning. This meaning comes from God and is  God. Because it is also you, you share it and extend it as your
Tx:7.18  nothing discordant ever enters. That is why it is the Kingdom of  God. It belongs to Him and is therefore like Him. That is its
Tx:7.24  all efforts and all results. By teaching the power of the Kingdom of  God Himself, He teaches you that all power is yours. Its application
Tx:7.30  God has lit your minds Himself and keeps your minds lit by His light,
Tx:7.32 Healing is also a science, because it obeys the laws of  God, Whose laws are true. Because they are true, they are perfectly
Tx:7.33  be recognized. Inspiration is of the Spirit, and certainty is of  God according to His laws. Both, therefore, come from the same
Tx:7.33  from the same Source, [because] inspiration comes from the Voice for  God, and certainty comes from the laws of God. Healing does not come
Tx:7.33  comes from the Voice for God, and certainty comes from the laws of  God. Healing does not come directly from God, Who knows His creations
Tx:7.33  comes from the laws of God. Healing does not come directly from  God, Who knows His creations as perfectly whole. Yet healing is
Tx:7.33  His creations as perfectly whole. Yet healing is [nevertheless] of  God, because it proceeds from His Voice and from His laws. It is
Tx:7.34  This is an intermediary step toward the knowledge that you are in  God, because you are part of Him. The miracles which the Holy Spirit
Tx:7.34  creation is of one order. This is God's Will and yours. The laws of  God establish this, and the Holy Spirit reminds you of it. When you
Tx:7.34  reminds you of it. When you heal, you are remembering the laws of  God and forgetting the laws of the ego. We said before that
Tx:7.35  of wholeness, and by learning of wholeness you learn to remember  God. You have forgotten Him, but the Holy Spirit still knows that
Tx:7.36  this belief. This perception is therefore in accord with the laws of  God, even in a state of mind which is out of accord with His. The
Tx:7.37 To oppose the pull or the Will of  God is not an ability but a real delusion. The ego believes that it
Tx:7.37  a gift. You do not want it. It is not a gift. It is nothing at all.  God has given you a gift which you both have and are. When you do not
Tx:7.37  of approaching knowledge by thinking in accordance with the laws of  God and recognizing their universality. Without this recognition, you
Tx:7.38  ye first the Kingdom of Heaven, because that is where the laws of  God operate truly, and they can operate only truly since they are the
Tx:7.38  this only because you can find nothing else. There is nothing else.  God is all in all in a very literal sense. All being is in Him who is
Tx:7.42  who does not have it. He may believe that the gift comes from  God to Him, but it is quite evident that he does not understand God
Tx:7.42  from God to Him, but it is quite evident that he does not understand  God if he thinks he has something that others [do not]. You might
Tx:7.44  He is therefore in conflict and teaching conflict. Can anything of  God not be for all and for always?
Tx:7.46  is predictable, because it can be counted on. Everything that is of  God can be counted on, because everything of God is wholly real.
Tx:7.46  Everything that is of God can be counted on, because everything of  God is wholly real. Healing can be counted on, because it is inspired
Tx:7.46  inconsistently understood. Understanding means consistence because  God means consistence. Since that is His meaning, it is also yours.

Tx:7.48 This in no way contradicts the changelessness of mind as  God created it, but you think that you have changed it as long as you
Tx:7.50 That is how  God Himself created you—in understanding, in appreciation, and in
Tx:7.53  you and on the whole Sonship, because this is your proper gift to  God. He will accept it and give it to the Sonship, because it is
Tx:7.53  This is the true communion of the Spirit, Who sees the altar of  God in everyone and, by bringing it to your appreciation, calls upon
Tx:7.53  and, by bringing it to your appreciation, calls upon you to love  God and His creations. You can appreciate the Sonship only as one.
Tx:7.54  will affect his total perception. That includes his perception of  God, of His creations, and of his own. He will not appreciate any of
Tx:7.61  the Holy Spirit offers you, you cannot be vigilant for anything but  God and His Kingdom. The only reason you find this difficult is
Tx:7.62 When you believe what  God does not know, your thought seems to contradict His, and this
Tx:7.62  have repeatedly emphasized that the ego does believe it can attack  God and tries to persuade you that you have done this. If the mind
Tx:7.64  in total contradiction to the Holy Spirit and to the knowledge of  God.
Tx:7.65  only by the Holy Spirit, because your being is the knowledge of  God. Any belief that you accept which is apart from this will obscure
Tx:7.65  from this will obscure God's Voice in you and will therefore obscure  God to you. Unless you perceive His creation truly, you cannot know
Tx:7.65  you perceive His creation truly, you cannot know the Creator, since  God and His creation are not separate. The Oneness of the Creator and
Tx:7.68  sad because you are not fulfilling your function as co-creators with  God and are therefore depriving yourselves of joy. This is not God's
Tx:7.71  Holy Spirit, [the law becomes as beneficent as all of the laws of  God. Stated positively,] the law requires you to recognize only part
Tx:7.72  is no way for you to have it except by giving it. This is the law of  God, and it has no exceptions. What you deny you lack, not because it
Tx:7.75  you forget yourselves. Give only honor to the Sons of the living  God and count yourselves among them gladly.
Tx:7.76 Only honor is a fitting gift for those whom  God Himself created worthy of honor and whom He honors. Give them the
Tx:7.76  worthy of honor and whom He honors. Give them the appreciation which  God accords them always, because they are His beloved Sons in whom He
Tx:7.77 One Child of  God is the only teacher sufficiently worthy to teach another. One
Tx:7.77  to all. He always teaches you the inestimable worth of every Son of  God, teaching it with infinite patience born of the [love of Him for
Tx:7.79  believe it is responsible for itself and being without allegiance to  God, the ego is incapable of trust. Projecting its insane belief that
Tx:7.79  brothers, who are as incapable of this as you are, are out to take  God from you. Whenever a brother attacks another, this is what he
Tx:7.79  sees your will in others. If you will to separate yourself from  God, that is what you will think others are doing to you.
Tx:7.80 You are the Will of  God. Do not accept anything else as your will, or you are denying
Tx:7.80  will attack, believing you have been attacked. But see the love of  God in you, and you will see it everywhere, because it is everywhere.
Tx:7.80  you are in Him with them. They are part of you, as you are part of  God. You are as lonely without understanding this as God Himself is
Tx:7.80  you are part of God. You are as lonely without understanding this as  God Himself is lonely when His Sons do not know Him. The peace of God
Tx:7.80  as God Himself is lonely when His Sons do not know Him. The peace of  God is understanding this. There is only one way out of the world's
Tx:7.81  to the Kingdom are gifts to you. They will always be treasured by  God, because they belong to His beloved Sons who belong to Him. All
Tx:7.82  It is the law which unifies the Kingdom and keeps it in the Mind of  God. To the ego, the law is perceived as a way of getting rid of
Tx:7.84  free yourself. The ego, using its own warped version of the laws of  God, utilizes the power of the mind only to defeat the mind's real
Tx:7.87  It is the distorted product of the misapplication of the laws of  God by distorted minds which are misusing their own power.
Tx:7.91 Only you can limit your creative power, but  God wills to release it. He no more wills you to deprive yourself of
Tx:7.91  withhold your gifts to the Sonship, or you withhold yourself from  God. Selfishness is of the ego, but self-fullness is of the Soul,
Tx:7.91  is of the ego, but self-fullness is of the Soul, because that is how  God created it. The Holy Spirit is the part of the mind that lies
Tx:7.92  of all its brothers is included in its own, as it is included in  God. The power of the whole Sonship and of its Creator is therefore
Tx:7.92  perfection. The ego cannot prevail against a totality which includes  God, and any totality must include God. Everything He created is
Tx:7.92  against a totality which includes God, and any totality must include  God. Everything He created is given all His power, because it is part
Tx:7.93  by sharing, its will is to create. It does not wish to contain  God but to extend His Being. The extension of God's Being is the
Tx:7.93  as unfulfilled. Unless you create, you are unfulfilled; but  God does not know of unfulfillment, and therefore you must create.
Tx:7.94 The Kingdom is forever extending, because it is in the Mind of  God. You do not know your joy, because you do not know your own
Tx:7.95  your fulfillment includes them. The creations of every Son of  God are yours since every creation belongs to everyone, being created
Tx:7.96 You have not failed to add to the inheritance of the Sons of  God and thus have not failed to secure it for yourselves. If it was
Tx:7.96  have not failed to secure it for yourselves. If it was the Will of  God to give it to you, He gave it forever. If it was His Will that
Tx:7.98  not possible that you have done the same thing with the premises of  God?
Tx:7.100 Yet the function which  God Himself gave your minds through His you may deny, but you cannot
Tx:7.102  to you and one which is both very fearful and very desirable. Yet  God wills. He does not wish. Your will is as powerful as His because
Tx:7.102  You can wish for the impossible, but you can will only with  God. This is the ego's weakness and your strength.
Tx:7.104  surprising.] The Holy Spirit is perfectly trustworthy, as you are.  God Himself trusts you, and therefore your trustworthiness is beyond
Tx:7.105 We said before that you are the Will of  God. His Will is not an idle wish, and your identification with His
Tx:7.105  by your wish. It was accomplished for you by the Will of  God, Who has not left you comfortless. His Voice will teach you how
Tx:7.105  which you have made. There is no confusion in the mind of a Son of  God whose will must be the Will of the Father, because the Father's
Tx:7.106 Miracles are in accord with the Will of  God Whose Will you do not know, because you are confused about what
Tx:7.107  This is His Will for everyone, because He speaks for the Kingdom of  God which is joy. Following Him is therefore the easiest thing in the
Tx:7.108 Grace is the natural state of every Son of  God. When he is not in a state of grace, he is out of his natural
Tx:7.108  nor can he adapt it to him. There is no point in trying. A Son of  God is happy only when he knows he is with God. That is the only
Tx:7.108  point in trying. A Son of God is happy only when he knows he is with  God. That is the only environment in which he will not experience
Tx:7.109  and judge its worth fairly. Is it worthy to be a home for a Child of  God? Does it protect his peace and shine love upon him? Does it keep
Tx:7.109  of loss? Does it teach him that this giving is his joy and that  God Himself thanks him for his giving? That is the only environment
Tx:7.109  yourselves. It has been created for you, as you were created for it.  God watches over His Children and denies them nothing. Yet when they
Tx:7.110 You who could give the love of  God to everything you see and touch and remember are literally
Tx:7.110  this lesson in his heart has healed the Sonship and given thanks to  God. Everyone who learns this lesson has become the perfect teacher,
Tx:7.111 The Majesty of  God is there for you to recognize and appreciate and know. Perceiving
Tx:7.111  you to recognize and appreciate and know. Perceiving the Majesty of  God as your brother is to accept your own inheritance. God gives only
Tx:7.111  Majesty of God as your brother is to accept your own inheritance.  God gives only equally. If you recognize His gift in anyone else, you
Tx:7.112  before that only the whole Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with  God, because only the whole Sonship can create like Him. Whenever you
Tx:7.112  and you must have the glory you see in him. He is a co-creator with  God with you. Deny his creative power, and you are denying yours and
Tx:7.112  you. Deny his creative power, and you are denying yours and that of  God, Who created you. You cannot deny part of truth. You do not know
Tx:7.113  God's. But you can know both. Being is known by sharing. Because  God shared His Being with you, you can know Him. But you must also
Tx:7.113  your Father, you will not know your fatherhood. The Kingdom of  God includes all His Sons and their children, who are like the Sons
Tx:7.113  are like the Sons as they are like the Father. Know then the Sons of  God, and you will know all creation.
Tx:8.2  restored when you meet its conditions. This is not a bargain made by  God, Who makes no bargains. It is merely the result of your misuse of
Tx:8.9  make anything but sense? Is this the teacher to whom a Son of  God should turn to find himself? The ego has never given you a
Tx:8.10  is free. That is why the ego is the denial of free will. It is never  God who coerces you because He shares His Will with you. His Voice
Tx:8.11  The Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the will of a Son of  God, knowing that the will of the Son is the Father's. The Holy
Tx:8.13  and has only one goal. His direction is freedom, and His goal is  God. Yet He cannot conceive of God without you, because it is not
Tx:8.13  direction is freedom, and His goal is God. Yet He cannot conceive of  God without you, because it is not God's Will to be without you. When
Tx:8.13  is freedom and this is joy. Deny yourself this and you are denying  God His Kingdom because He created you for this. When we said, “All
Tx:8.14 The Will of  God is without limit, and all power and glory lie within it. It is
Tx:8.14  all things, it made them part of itself. You are the Will of  God, because this is how you were created. Because your Creator
Tx:8.15  runs easily and gladly through the Kingdom in answer to the call of  God. This is the natural response of every Son of God to the Voice of
Tx:8.15  to the call of God. This is the natural response of every Son of  God to the Voice of his Creator, because it is the Voice for his
Tx:8.16 Glory be to  God in the highest and to you, because He has so willed it. Ask and
Tx:8.17 To fulfill the Will of  God perfectly is the only joy and peace that can be fully known,
Tx:8.17  how to teach this, but you do not. That is why you need Him and why  God gave Him to you. Only His teaching will release your will to
Tx:8.17  power and glory and establishing them as yours. You share them as  God shares them, because this is the natural outcome of their being.
Tx:8.18  His own Fatherhood must be extended outward. You who belong in  God have the holy function of extending His Fatherhood by placing no
Tx:8.18  Spirit teach you how to do this, for you will know what it means of  God Himself.
Tx:8.19  will find yourself or lose sight of yourself. Whenever two Sons of  God meet, they are given another chance at salvation. Do not leave
Tx:8.23 You can encounter only part of yourself, because you are part of  God, Who is everything. His power and glory are everywhere, and you
Tx:8.23  is in you alone. The Holy Spirit teaches that all strength is in  God and therefore in you. God wills no one suffer. He does not will
Tx:8.23  Spirit teaches that all strength is in God and therefore in you.  God wills no one suffer. He does not will anyone to suffer for a
Tx:8.24 Power and glory belong to  God alone. So do you. God gives whatever belongs to Him, because He
Tx:8.24 Power and glory belong to God alone. So do you.  God gives whatever belongs to Him, because He gives of Himself, and
Tx:8.28  impossible. Your reactions to me are the reactions of the world to  God. If you will accept the fact that I am with you, you are denying
Tx:8.28  the fact that I am with you, you are denying the world and accepting  God. My will is His, and your will to hear me is the decision to hear
Tx:8.28  hear me is the decision to hear His Voice and abide in His Will. As  God sent me to you, so will I send you to others, and I will go to
Tx:8.31  because yours is as powerful as mine. If it were not so, the Sons of  God would be unequal. All things are possible through our joint will,
Tx:8.31  but my will alone cannot help you. Your will is as free as mine, and  God Himself would not go against it. I cannot will what God does not
Tx:8.31  as mine, and God Himself would not go against it. I cannot will what  God does not will. I can offer you my will to make yours invincible
Tx:8.32 Nothing  God created can oppose your will, as nothing God created can oppose
Tx:8.32 Nothing God created can oppose your will, as nothing  God created can oppose His. God gave your will its power, which I can
Tx:8.32  created can oppose your will, as nothing God created can oppose His.  God gave your will its power, which I can only acknowledge in honor
Tx:8.33  yourself. In our remembrance of each other lies our remembrance of  God, and in this remembrance lies your freedom, because your freedom
Tx:8.36  the power of its separate parts. By not being separate, the Will of  God is established in ours and as ours. This will is invincible,
Tx:8.36  the Sonship is the perfect creator, being wholly in the likeness of  God, Whose Will it is. You cannot be exempt from it if you are to
Tx:8.36  your will from mine, you are exempting yourself from the Will of  God, which is yourself.
Tx:8.37  Him, how can you know it without recognizing Him? The recognition of  God is the recognition of yourself. There is no separation of God and
Tx:8.37  of God is the recognition of yourself. There is no separation of  God and His creation. You will learn this as you learn that there is
Tx:8.37  that there is no separation of your will and mine. Let the love of  God shine upon you by your acceptance of me. My reality is yours and
Tx:8.37  will with mine, you are signifying your awareness that the Will of  God is one.
Tx:8.38  all truth. As we unite, we unite with Him. Glory be to the union of  God and His holy Sons! All glory lies in them because they are
Tx:8.39  toward truth. Our success in transcending the ego is guaranteed by  God, and I can share [my perfect confidence in His promise, because I
Tx:8.39  nothing can prevail against God's. Would you know the Will of  God for you? Ask it of me who knows it for you, and you will find it.
Tx:8.39  knows it for you, and you will find it. I will deny you nothing, as  God denies me nothing.
Tx:8.40 Ours is simply the journey back to  God, Who is our home. Whenever fear intrudes anywhere along the road
Tx:8.42  He will welcome us as I am welcoming you. Forget not the Kingdom of  God for anything the world has to offer. The world can add nothing to
Tx:8.42  to offer. The world can add nothing to the power and the glory of  God and His holy Sons, but it can blind the Sons to the Father if
Tx:8.42  the Father if they behold it. You cannot behold the world and know  God. Only one is true.
Tx:8.43  is not yours. If it were, you would have destroyed yourselves. Yet  God did not will the destruction of His creations, having created
Tx:8.43  denies, for over His Kingdom, it has no power. No one created by  God can find joy in anything except the eternal. That is not because
Tx:8.43  of anything else, but because nothing else is worthy of him. What  God and His Sons create is eternal, and in this and this only is
Tx:8.45  God wants only His Son because His Son is His only treasure. You want
Tx:8.45  than you have left your Creator, but they extend your creation as  God extended Himself to you. Can the creations of God Himself take
Tx:8.45  your creation as God extended Himself to you. Can the creations of  God Himself take joy in what is not real? And what is real except the
Tx:8.45  joy in what is not real? And what is real except the creations of  God and those which are created like His? Your creations love you as
Tx:8.46  could not make yourself unworthy, because you are the treasure of  God. What He values is valuable. There can be no question of its
Tx:8.47  from you, because His joy is in it. You cannot find joy except as  God does. His joy lay in creating you, and He extends His Fatherhood
Tx:8.47  know his function unless he knows who he is. Creation is the Will of  God. His Will created you to create. Your will was not created
Tx:8.48  no meaning at all.] When you think you are unwilling to will with  God, you are not thinking. God's Will is thought. It cannot be
Tx:8.48  God's Will is thought. It cannot be contradicted by thought.  God does not contradict Himself, and His Sons, who are like Him,
Tx:8.49  power of God's Son lies in all of us, but not in any of us alone.  God would not have us be alone, because He does not will to be alone.
Tx:8.50 Our creations are as holy as we are, and we are the Sons of  God Himself and therefore as holy as He is. Through our creations, we
Tx:8.50  Given this belief, you cannot understand anything. I share with  God the knowledge of the value He puts upon you. My devotion to you
Tx:8.50  born of my knowledge of myself and Him. We cannot be separated. Whom  God has joined cannot be separated, and God has joined all His Sons
Tx:8.50  We cannot be separated. Whom God has joined cannot be separated, and  God has joined all His Sons with Himself. Can you be separated from
Tx:8.51 The journey to  God is merely the reawakening of the knowledge of where you are
Tx:8.51  make you aware of the conditions of truth, but the experience is of  God. Together we can meet its conditions, but truth will dawn upon
Tx:8.52 What  God has willed for you is yours. He has given His Will to His
Tx:8.52  lies where your treasure is, as His does. You who are beloved of  God are wholly blessed. Learn this of me, and free the holy will of
Tx:8.53  with a body, you will always experience depression. When a Child of  God thinks of himself in this way, he is belittling himself and
Tx:8.54  as a means of communication. Being the communication link between  God and His separated Sons, the Holy Spirit interprets everything you
Tx:8.55  the only reality anything can have is the service it can render  God on behalf of the function He has given it.
Tx:8.57  you, he is holy. As part of me, you are. To communicate with part of  God Himself is to reach beyond the Kingdom to its Creator through His
Tx:8.58  gifts from you, but you have withdrawn them from Him. Let no Son of  God remain hidden for His Name's sake, because His Name is yours.
Tx:8.61  devotion to the ego. In this sense, the body does become a temple to  God, because His Voice abides in it by directing the use to which it
Tx:8.67  salvation. You have condemned yourself, but condemnation is not of  God. Therefore, it is not true. No more are any of the results of
Tx:8.68  thought in this world, and you will open your mind to creation in  God.
Tx:8.85  is impossible since it would mean to make nothing out of what  God created. The ego despises weakness, even though it makes every
Tx:8.86  be taken literally because the Bible is about love, being about  God.
Tx:8.88  which argues for your doing it. I give you no limits because  God lays none upon you. When you limit yourself, we are not of one
Tx:8.89  only to meet the conditions for meaning since meaning itself is of  God. Yet your return to meaning is essential to His because your
Tx:8.90 Fear of the Will of  God is one of the strangest beliefs that the human mind has ever
Tx:8.90  since reality can only uphold truth. The very fact that the Will of  God, which is what you are, is perceived as fearful to you
Tx:8.90  that you are afraid of what you are. It is not, then, the Will of  God of which you are afraid, but yours. Your will is not the ego's,
Tx:8.90  and that is why the ego is against you. What seems to be the fear of  God is really only the fear of your own reality.
Tx:8.93  the power to look into what you have hidden and perceive the Will of  God there. His perception of this will can make it real to you
Tx:8.97  is different from His, it can only decide either that there is no  God or that God's Will is fearful. The former accounts for the
Tx:8.97  many forms, the category including all doctrines which hold that  God demands sacrifices of any kind. Either basic type of insane
Tx:8.97  the atheist believes he is alone, and the martyr believes that  God is crucifying him. Both really fear abandonment and retaliation,
Tx:8.98 The atheist maintains that  God has left him, but he does not care. He will, however, become very
Tx:8.98  become very fearful and hence very angry if anyone suggests that  God has not left him. The martyr, on the other hand, is more aware of
Tx:8.98  is totally incapable of giving you anything that does not come from  God. His task is not to make anything for you.] He cannot make you
Tx:8.99 Ultimately everyone must remember the Will of  God, because ultimately everyone must recognize himself. This
Tx:8.99  only seem to be fearful. Fear cannot be real without a cause, and  God is the only Cause. God is Love, and you do want Him. This is your
Tx:8.99  Fear cannot be real without a cause, and God is the only Cause.  God is Love, and you do want Him. This is your will. Ask for this and
Tx:8.100  are real, being of your will. Would the Holy Spirit deny the Will of  God? And could He fail to recognize it in His Sons?
Tx:8.101  to be happy is totally at variance with the principle of creation.  God could not will that happiness depended on what you could never
Tx:8.102 The fact that  God is love does not require belief, but it does require acceptance.
Tx:8.104  God in His devotion to you created you devoted to everything and gave
Tx:8.106 Christ is in me, and where He is  God must be, for Christ is part of Him.
Tx:8.110 If you would know your prayers are answered, never doubt a Son of  God. Do not question him and do not confound him, for your faith in
Tx:8.110  for your faith in him is your faith in yourself. If you would know  God and His Answer, believe in me whose faith in you cannot be
Tx:8.112  from your mind to his and answers you. You cannot hear the Voice for  God in yourself alone because you are not alone. And His answer is
Tx:8.112  in others. It must be for your brother because it is for you. Would  God have created a Voice for you alone? Could you hear His answer
Tx:8.113 I love you for the truth in you, as  God does. Your deceptions may deceive you, but they cannot deceive
Tx:8.114  justified. Believe in me by believing in them for the sake of what  God gave them. They will answer you if you learn to ask truth of
Tx:8.117  to get much for little is to believe that you can bargain with  God. God's laws are always fair and perfectly consistent. By giving
Tx:9.2  error is at another level. He is still right, because he is a Son of  God. His ego is always wrong, no matter what it says or does.
Tx:9.7  and this can only be the arrogance of the ego. Correction is of  God, Who does not know of arrogance. The Holy Spirit forgives
Tx:9.7  not know of arrogance. The Holy Spirit forgives everything, because  God created everything.
Tx:9.8  the function of healing in time, because that is what time is for.  God gave you the function to create in eternity. You do not need to
Tx:9.11  the ability to share, He translates what you have made into what  God created. If you would accomplish this through Him, you cannot
Tx:9.13  forgetting that my words make perfect sense because they come from  God. They are as sensible now as they ever were, because they speak
Tx:9.18  reality. Only if the decision that reality is fearful is wrong can  God be right. And I assure you that God is right. Be glad, then, that
Tx:9.18  reality is fearful is wrong can God be right. And I assure you that  God is right. Be glad, then, that you have been wrong, but this was
Tx:9.18  you were. Had you remembered, you could no more have been wrong than  God can. The impossible can happen only in fantasy. When you search
Tx:9.19  Behold, my children, reality is here. It belongs to you and me and  God and is perfectly satisfying to all of us. Only this awareness
Tx:9.22  and advocate a very fearful solution. Projecting condemnation onto  God, they make Him appear retaliative and fear His retribution. What
Tx:9.25  but he does not know it himself. What, then, should happen? When  God said, “Let there be light,” there was light. Can you find light
Tx:9.27  his mind will therefore answer the questioner, who must decide with  God that there is light because he sees it. And by his
Tx:9.28  right one will. Trust Him, for help is His function, and He is of  God.
Tx:9.33  yourself. And as you call upon it in them, it becomes real to you.  God has but one Son, knowing them all as one. Only God Himself is
Tx:9.33  real to you. God has but one Son, knowing them all as one. Only  God Himself is more than they, but they are not less than He is.
Tx:9.33  are part of you, everything we do belongs to you as well. Every Soul  God created is part of you and shares His glory with you. His Glory
Tx:9.34  God is more than you only because He created you, but not even this
Tx:9.34  wholeness until you see it everywhere. You can know yourself only as  God knows His Son, for knowledge is shared with God. When you awake
Tx:9.34  yourself only as God knows His Son, for knowledge is shared with  God. When you awake in Him you will know your magnitude by accepting
Tx:9.37  them with you. You will never know that you are co-creator with  God until you learn that your brother is a co-creator with you.
Tx:9.38  because they will not return, but because delay of joy is needless.  God wills you perfect happiness now. Is it possible that this is not
Tx:9.43  this contrast can insanity be judged as insane. With the grandeur of  God in you, you have chosen to be little and to lament your
Tx:9.44  belief you hold in terms of where it comes from. If it comes from  God, He knows it to be true. If it does not, He knows that it is
Tx:9.46  God Himself is incomplete without me.
Tx:9.47  hear it. The truth about you is so lofty that nothing unworthy of  God is worthy of you. Choose, then, what you want in these terms and
Tx:9.47  want in these terms and accept nothing that you would not offer to  God as wholly fitting for Him, for you do not want anything else.
Tx:9.48 Grandeur is of  God and only of Him. Therefore, it is in you. Whenever you become
Tx:9.48  the ego automatically, because in the presence of the grandeur of  God the meaninglessness of the ego becomes perfectly apparent. Though
Tx:9.48  The grandiosity] of the ego is its alternative to the grandeur of  God. Which will you choose?
Tx:9.52  afraid of it because it is a form of attack, but your grandeur is of  God, Who created it out of His Love. From your grandeur you can only
Tx:9.52  protecting it from illusions and keeping yourself in the Mind of  God. Remember always that you cannot be anywhere except in the Mind
Tx:9.52  Remember always that you cannot be anywhere except in the Mind of  God. When you forget this, you will despair, and you will attack.
Tx:9.55  but they cannot attest to pride, because pride is not shared.  God wants you to behold what He created, because it is His joy.
Tx:9.56 Can your grandeur be arrogant when  God Himself witnesses to it? And what can be real that has no
Tx:9.56  Holy Spirit cannot use it. What He cannot transform to the Will of  God does not exist at all. Grandiosity is delusional, because it is
Tx:9.56  is delusional, because it is used to replace your grandeur. Yet what  God has created cannot be replaced. God is incomplete without you,
Tx:9.56  replace your grandeur. Yet what God has created cannot be replaced.  God is incomplete without you, because His grandeur is total, and you
Tx:9.57 You are altogether irreplaceable in the Mind of  God. No one else can fill your part of it, and while you leave your
Tx:9.57  part of it empty, your eternal place merely waits for your return.  God, through His Voice, reminds you of it, and God Himself keeps your
Tx:9.57  for your return. God, through His Voice, reminds you of it, and  God Himself keeps your extensions safe within it. Yet you do not know
Tx:9.57  You cannot replace the Kingdom, and you cannot replace yourself.  God, Who knows your value, would not have it so, and so it is not so.
Tx:9.57  God's Mind and therefore not in yours alone. To accept yourself as  God created you cannot be arrogance, because it is the denial of
Tx:9.58  will tell you, but do not be afraid of His answer, for it comes from  God. It is an exalted answer because of its Source, but the Source is
Tx:9.58  and so is Its answer. Listen and do not question what you hear, for  God does not deceive. He would have you replace the ego's belief in
Tx:9.60  God created nothing beside you, and nothing beside you exists, for
Tx:9.61  God does not change His Mind about you, for He is not uncertain of
Tx:9.61  Him. That is why your will is holy. Can anything exceed the love of  God? Can anything, then, exceed your will? Nothing can reach you from
Tx:9.61  your will? Nothing can reach you from beyond it because, being in  God, you encompass everything. Believe this, and you will realize how
Tx:9.62 Has  God changed His Mind about me?
Tx:9.63  is indeed changeless, and refuse to change your mind about yourself.  God will never decide against you, or He would be deciding against
Tx:9.64  created is impossible. But remember that it is as impossible for  God. The law of creation is that you love your creations as yourself
Tx:9.64  that was created is therefore perfectly safe, because the laws of  God protect it by His Love. Any part of your mind that does not know
Tx:9.65  this recognition lies the realization that your banishment is not of  God and therefore does not exist. You are at home in God, dreaming of
Tx:9.65  is not of God and therefore does not exist. You are at home in  God, dreaming of exile but perfectly capable of awakening to reality.
Tx:9.69  Spirit only your will to remember, for He retains the knowledge of  God and of yourself for you, waiting for your acceptance. Give up
Tx:9.69  everything that would stand in the way of your remembering, for  God is in your memory, and His Voice will tell you that you are part
Tx:9.70  this world is the perceptual counterpart of creating in the Kingdom.  God will do His part if you will do yours, and His return in exchange
Tx:9.71  of defenses always constitutes an attack on truth and truth is  God, you will realize why this is always fearful. If you further
Tx:9.71  is always fearful. If you further recognize that you are part of  God, you will understand why it is that you always attack yourself
Tx:9.73  against your reality, you have made yourself vigilant against  God and His Kingdom. And it is this vigilance that makes you afraid
Tx:9.74 You have not attacked  God, and you do love Him. Can you change your reality? No one can
Tx:9.74  them. The idols are nothing, but their worshipers are the Sons of  God in sickness.
Tx:9.75  God would have them released from their sickness and returned to His
Tx:9.75  your salvation. What Comforter can there be for the sick Children of  God except His power through you? Remember that it does not matter
Tx:9.75  throughout the Sonship. Heal your brothers simply by accepting  God for them.
Tx:9.76 Your minds are not separate, and  God has only one channel for healing, because He has but one Son. His
Tx:9.76  no one is separate, and so no one is sick. To believe that a Son of  God can be sick is to believe that part of God can suffer. Love
Tx:9.76  To believe that a Son of God can be sick is to believe that part of  God can suffer. Love cannot suffer, because it cannot attack. The
Tx:9.77 Do not side with sickness in the presence of a Son of  God even if he believes in it, for your acceptance of God in him
Tx:9.77  of a Son of God even if he believes in it, for your acceptance of  God in him acknowledges the love of God which he has forgotten. Your
Tx:9.77  in it, for your acceptance of God in him acknowledges the love of  God which he has forgotten. Your recognition of him as part of God
Tx:9.77  of God which he has forgotten. Your recognition of him as part of  God teaches him the truth about himself, which he is denying. Would
Tx:9.77  himself, which he is denying. Would you strengthen his denial of  God and thus lose sight of yourself? Or would you remind him of his
Tx:9.77  wholeness and remember your Creator with him? To believe a Son of  God is sick is to worship the same idol he does. God created love,
Tx:9.77  To believe a Son of God is sick is to worship the same idol he does.  God created love, not idolatry. All forms of idolatry are caricatures
Tx:9.77  be taken from you. Yet this is impossible, because you are part of  God, Who is all power.
Tx:9.78 A sick  god must be an idol, made in the image of what its maker thinks he
Tx:9.78  he is. And that is exactly what the ego does perceive in a Son of  God; a sick god, self-created, self-sufficient, very vicious, and
Tx:9.78  that is exactly what the ego does perceive in a Son of God; a sick  god, self-created, self-sufficient, very vicious, and very
Tx:9.79  in the Kingdom, but there is great appreciation for every Soul which  God created because of the calm knowledge that each one is part of
Tx:9.79  When I said, “My peace I give unto you,” I meant it. Peace came from  God through me to you. It was for you, although you did not ask.
Tx:9.80  denial of illusion, and sickness is an illusion. Yet every Son of  God has the power to deny illusions anywhere in the Kingdom merely by
Tx:9.81  you heard. But have no other gods before Him, or you will not hear.  God is not jealous of the gods you make, but you are. You would save
Tx:9.81  projecting onto them the fearful fact that you made them to replace  God. Yet when they seem to speak to you, remember that nothing can
Tx:9.81  when they seem to speak to you, remember that nothing can replace  God, and whatever replacements you have attempted are nothing.
Tx:9.82  of nothing. And in that awareness you are healed. You will hear the  god you listen to. You made the god of sickness, and by making him,
Tx:9.82  you are healed. You will hear the god you listen to. You made the  god of sickness, and by making him, you made yourself able to hear
Tx:9.82  instant you signify your willingness to accept only the eternal. If  God has but one Son, there is but one God. You share reality with
Tx:9.82  to accept only the eternal. If God has but one Son, there is but one  God. You share reality with Him, because reality is not divided. To
Tx:9.84 Only at the altar of  God will you find peace. And this altar is in you, because God put it
Tx:9.84  altar of God will you find peace. And this altar is in you, because  God put it there. His Voice still calls you to return, and He will be
Tx:9.84  heard when you place no other gods before Him. You can give up the  god of sickness for your brothers; in fact, you would have to do so
Tx:9.84  as God's replacement. He is the belief that you can choose which  god is real. Although it is perfectly clear that this has nothing to
Tx:9.85  cannot be reconciled. Sickness and perfection are irreconcilable. If  God created you perfect, you are perfect. If you believe you can be
Tx:9.85  you believe you can be sick, you have placed other gods before Him.  God is not at war with the god of sickness you made, but you are. He
Tx:9.85  you have placed other gods before Him. God is not at war with the  god of sickness you made, but you are. He is the symbol of willing
Tx:9.85  sickness you made, but you are. He is the symbol of willing against  God, and you are afraid of him, because he cannot be reconciled with
Tx:9.88  their laws cannot be understood together. The laws of  God work only for your good, and there are no other laws beside His.
Tx:9.88  His. Everything else is merely lawless and therefore chaotic. Yet  God Himself has protected everything He created by His laws.
Tx:9.88  lawful, and the chaotic is without meaning because it is without  God. You have given your peace to the gods you made, but they are not
Tx:9.89  not free to give up freedom, but only to deny it. You cannot do what  God did not intend, because what He did not intend does not happen.
Tx:9.89  it of them. All this has never been. Nothing but the laws of  God has ever operated, and nothing except His Will will ever be. You
Tx:9.90 When you have experienced the protection of  God, the making of idols becomes inconceivable. There are no strange
Tx:9.90  becomes inconceivable. There are no strange images in the Mind of  God, and what is not in His Mind cannot be in yours because you are
Tx:9.90  and your reality affect truth at all. Peace is yours because  God created you. And He created nothing else.
Tx:9.91 The miracle is the act of a Son of  God who has laid aside all false gods and who calls on his brothers
Tx:9.91  power of one mind can shine into another, because all the lamps of  God were lit by the same spark. It is everywhere, and it is eternal.
Tx:9.92 In many only the spark remains, for the Great Rays are obscured. Yet  God has kept the spark alive so that the rays can never be completely
Tx:9.92  it is the remaining call of creation. Put all your faith in it, and  God Himself will answer you.
Tx:9.93 The rituals of the  god of sickness are strange and very demanding. Joy is never
Tx:9.93  sign of allegiance to him. Depression means that you have foresworn  God. Men are afraid of blasphemy, but they do not know what it means.
Tx:9.93  but they do not know what it means. They do not realize that to deny  God is to deny their own identity, and in this sense the wages of sin
Tx:9.94 Do not forget, however, that to deny  God will inevitably result in projection, and you will believe that
Tx:9.94  and whenever you see your brothers without it, you are denying  God.
Tx:9.95 Allegiance to the denial of  God is the ego's religion. The god of sickness obviously demands the
Tx:9.95 Allegiance to the denial of God is the ego's religion. The  god of sickness obviously demands the denial of health, because
Tx:9.95  know yourself in order to be sick. This is the offering which your  god demands because, having made him out of your insanity, he is an
Tx:9.95  seem like many different things he is but one idea—the denial of  God.
Tx:9.96  Son think he was fatherless, and out of his depression, he made the  god of depression. This was his alternative to joy, because he would
Tx:9.98 Son of  God, you have not sinned, but you have been much mistaken. Yet this
Tx:9.98  but you have been much mistaken. Yet this can be corrected, and  God will help you, knowing that you could not sin against Him. You
Tx:9.99  you, and you will learn of Him if you hear aright. The love of  God is in everything He created, for His Son is everywhere. Look with
Tx:9.99  for His Son is everywhere. Look with peace upon your brothers, and  God will come rushing into your heart in gratitude for your gift to
Tx:9.100 Do not look to the  god of sickness for healing but only to the God of love, for healing
Tx:9.100 Do not look to the god of sickness for healing but only to the  God of love, for healing is the acknowledgment of Him. When you
Tx:9.100  this is blasphemy, for it means that you are looking without love on  God and His creation, from which He cannot be separated. Only the
Tx:9.100  Only the eternal can be loved, for love does not die. What is of  God is His forever, and you are of God. Would He allow Himself to
Tx:9.100  for love does not die. What is of God is His forever, and you are of  God. Would He allow Himself to suffer? And would He offer His Son
Tx:9.101 If you will accept yourself as  God created you, you will be incapable of suffering. Yet to do this,
Tx:9.102 You do not realize how much you have denied yourself, and how much  God in His love would not have it so. Yet He would not interfere with
Tx:9.102  were not free. To interfere with you would be to attack Himself, and  God is not insane. When you denied Him, you were insane. Would you
Tx:9.102  denied Him, you were insane. Would you have Him share your insanity?  God will never cease to love His Son, and His Son will never cease to
Tx:9.102  the condition of His Son's creation, fixed forever in the Mind of  God. To know that is sanity. To deny it is insanity. God gave Himself
Tx:9.102  in the Mind of God. To know that is sanity. To deny it is insanity.  God gave Himself to you in your creation, and His gifts are eternal.
Tx:9.103  was created for you for the misery you have made for yourselves.  God has given you the means for undoing what you have made. Listen,
Tx:9.104 If  God knows His Children as wholly sinless, it is blasphemous to
Tx:9.104  as wholly sinless, it is blasphemous to perceive them as guilty. If  God knows His Children as wholly without pain, it is blasphemous to
Tx:9.104  without pain, it is blasphemous to perceive suffering anywhere. If  God knows His Children to be wholly joyous, it is blasphemous to feel
Tx:9.104  blasphemy may take are refusals to accept creation as it is. If  God created His Son perfect, that is how you must learn to see him to
Tx:9.105 Do not perceive anything  God did not create, or you are denying Him. His is the only
Tx:9.105  you believe that the sick images you perceive are the Sons of  God.
Tx:9.106 Only if you accept the Fatherhood of  God will you have anything, because His fatherhood gave you
Tx:9.106  to you to be desirable, the concept of choice, which is not of  God, will remain with you. While this is not true in eternity, it is
Tx:10.1 Either  God or the ego is insane. If you will examine the evidence on both
Tx:10.1  both sides fairly, you will realize that this must be true. Neither  God nor the ego proposes a partial thought system. Each is internally
Tx:10.3 You have made by projection, but  God has created by extension. The cornerstone of God's creation is
Tx:10.4 My brother, you are part of  God and part of me. When you have at last looked at the ego's
Tx:10.5  For in this lies the beginning of knowledge, the foundation on which  God will help you build again the thought system which you share with
Tx:10.5  reality, you restore it to yourself. For you dwell in the Mind of  God with your brother, for God Himself did not will to be alone.
Tx:10.5  to yourself. For you dwell in the Mind of God with your brother, for  God Himself did not will to be alone.
Tx:10.6  limits must be everywhere. There are no beginnings and no endings in  God, Whose universe is Himself. Can you exclude yourself from the
Tx:10.6  is Himself. Can you exclude yourself from the universe or from  God, Who is the universe? I and my Father are one with you, for you
Tx:10.6  with you, for you are part of us. Do you really believe that part of  God can be missing or lost to Him?
Tx:10.7 If you were not part of  God, His Will would not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can part of
Tx:10.8  The laws of the universe do not permit contradiction. What holds for  God holds for you. If you believe you are absent from God, you will
Tx:10.8  What holds for God holds for you. If you believe you are absent from  God, you will believe that He is absent from you.
Tx:10.9 Infinity is meaningless without you, and you are meaningless without  God. There is no end to God and His Son, for we are the universe. God
Tx:10.9  without you, and you are meaningless without God. There is no end to  God and His Son, for we are the universe. God is not incomplete, and
Tx:10.9  God. There is no end to God and His Son, for we are the universe.  God is not incomplete, and He is not childless. Because He did not
Tx:10.9  to see. Look upon the glory of His creation, and you will learn what  God has kept for you.
Tx:10.10  God has given you a place in His Mind which is yours forever. Yet you
Tx:10.10  was given you. Could you be alone there if it was given you because  God did not will to be alone? God's Mind cannot be lessened. It can
Tx:10.11 Could any part of  God be without His love and could any part of His love be contained?
Tx:10.11  God be without His love and could any part of His love be contained?  God is your heritage because His one gift is Himself. How can you
Tx:10.11  to give as He gives. Your fatherhood and your Father are one.  God willed to create, and your will is His. It follows, then, that
Tx:10.13  interpretation, it is possible for God's Will and yours to conflict.  God then may seem to demand of you what you do not want to give and
Tx:10.13  you do not want to give and thus deprive you of what you want. Would  God, who wants only your will, be capable of this? Your will is His
Tx:10.15  the Holy Spirit only because He speaks for you. He is the Voice for  God, but never forget that God did not will to be alone. He shares
Tx:10.15  He speaks for you. He is the Voice for God, but never forget that  God did not will to be alone. He shares His Will with you; He does
Tx:10.16  from this, and every healing thought brings it closer. The Son of  God has both Father and Son because he is both Father and Son. To
Tx:10.16  Him, you know there is but one will. Yet when you attack any part of  God and His Kingdom, your understanding is not perfect, and what you
Tx:10.17  miracle which you accomplish speaks to you of the Fatherhood of  God. Every healing thought which you accept, either from your brother
Tx:10.19  lay His own complete will and make yours whole. What can the Son of  God not accomplish with the Fatherhood of God in him? And yet the
Tx:10.19  whole. What can the Son of God not accomplish with the Fatherhood of  God in him? And yet the invitation must come from you, for you have
Tx:10.20  You can safely trust His patience, for He cannot leave a part of  God. Yet you need far more than patience.
Tx:10.21  Him is to be like Him, and He has given Himself to you. You who have  God must be as God, for His function became yours with His gift.
Tx:10.21  Him, and He has given Himself to you. You who have God must be as  God, for His function became yours with His gift. Invite this
Tx:10.21  minds, and let nothing that will obscure it enter. The Guest whom  God sent you will teach you how to do this if you but recognize the
Tx:10.22 Would you be hostage to the ego or host to  God? You will accept only whom you invite. You are free to determine
Tx:10.22  do not be satisfied with imaginary comforters, for the Comforter of  God is in you.
Tx:10.23  of Him, for He knows no attack and His peace surrounds you silently.  God is very quiet, for there is no conflict in Him. Conflict is the
Tx:10.23  it does not see whom it attacks. Yet it always attacks the Son of  God, and the Son of God is you.
Tx:10.23  it attacks. Yet it always attacks the Son of God, and the Son of  God is you.
Tx:10.24  own. The Kingdom is his, and yet he wanders homelessly. At home in  God, he is lonely, and amid all his brothers, he is friendless. Would
Tx:10.24  he is lonely, and amid all his brothers, he is friendless. Would  God let this be real if He did not will to be alone Himself? And if
Tx:10.24  you because it is not true of Him. Oh, my children, if you knew what  God wills for you, your joy would be complete! And what He wills has
Tx:10.25  with joy that it will leap into Heaven and into the Presence of  God. I cannot tell you what this will be like, for your hearts are
Tx:10.25  are not ready. Yet I can tell you and remind you often that what  God wills for Himself He wills for you, and what He wills for you is
Tx:10.26  hard, but it is very different. Yours is the way of pain, of which  God knows nothing. That way is hard indeed and very lonely. Fear and
Tx:10.26  the dark companions, for they are not fit companions for the Son of  God, who was created of light and in light. The Great Light always
Tx:10.27  God hides nothing from His Son, even though His Son would hide
Tx:10.27  from His Son, even though His Son would hide himself. Yet the Son of  God cannot hide his glory, for God wills him to be glorious and gave
Tx:10.27  would hide himself. Yet the Son of God cannot hide his glory, for  God wills him to be glorious and gave him the light that shines in
Tx:10.27  him the light that shines in him. You will never lose your way, for  God leads you. When you wander, you but undertake a journey which is
Tx:10.29  temple and find it waiting for you. But be holy in the Presence of  God, or you will not know that you are there. For what is unlike God
Tx:10.29  of God, or you will not know that you are there. For what is unlike  God cannot enter His Mind because it was not His Thought and
Tx:10.30  in the temple with Him because it is your will not to be alone.  God blessed His Son forever. If you will bless him in time, you will
Tx:10.30  him in time, you will be in eternity. Time cannot separate you from  God if you use it on behalf of the eternal.
Tx:10.31  Soul, all your understanding is lost because you are looking on what  God created as yourself without love. And since what He created is
Tx:10.32 Could you try to make  God homeless and know that you are at home? Can the Son deny the
Tx:10.32  power of your will cannot be lessened without the intervention of  God against it, and any limitation on your power is not the Will of
Tx:10.32  God against it, and any limitation on your power is not the Will of  God. Therefore, look only to the power that God gave to save you,
Tx:10.32  power is not the Will of God. Therefore, look only to the power that  God gave to save you, remembering that it is yours because it is His,
Tx:10.33  you share, and your own Soul must be unknown to you. Every altar to  God is part of your Soul because the light He created is one with
Tx:10.33  As you bring him back, so will your mind return. That is the law of  God for the protection of the wholeness of His Son.
Tx:10.36  and it is impossible for you to be unable to enter the place where  God would have you be. But love yourself with the love of Christ, for
Tx:10.36  for you, for while I live it cannot be shut, and I live forever.  God is my life and yours, and nothing is denied by God to His Son.
Tx:10.36  I live forever. God is my life and yours, and nothing is denied by  God to His Son.
Tx:10.37 At God's altar Christ waits for the restoration of Himself in you.  God knows His Son as wholly blameless as Himself, and He is
Tx:10.37  as yourself and of His wholeness as yours. For Christ is the Son of  God who lives in his Creator and shines with His glory. Christ is the
Tx:10.37  His glory. Christ is the extension of the love and the loveliness of  God, as perfect as his Creator and at peace with Him.
Tx:10.38 Blessed is the Son of  God, whose radiance is of his Father and whose glory he wills to
Tx:10.38  will not know the Father or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in  God and in whom the whole Sonship rests.
Tx:10.42 All power is of  God. What is not of Him has no power to do anything.
Tx:10.44  accord with your true nature. We once said that to will contrary to  God is wishful thinking and not real willing. His Will is one because
Tx:10.44  experience, then, is between the ego's idle wishes and the Will of  God, which you share. Can this be a real conflict?
Tx:10.45  Your whole creative function lies in your complete dependence on  God, Whose function He shares with you. By His Willingness to share
Tx:10.45  in ego autonomy is costing you the knowledge of your dependence on  God in which your freedom lies. The ego sees all dependency as
Tx:10.45  all dependency as threatening and has twisted even your longing for  God into a means of establishing itself. But do not be deceived by
Tx:10.49 Your recognition that whatever seems to separate you from  God is only fear, regardless of the form it takes and quite apart
Tx:10.51  God is as dependent on you as you are on Him because His autonomy
Tx:10.52  sane know that only attack could produce fear from which the love of  God completely protects them.
Tx:10.57  not exist, yet where the Son is, the Father must be. Accept what  God does not deny, and He will demonstrate its truth. The witnesses
Tx:10.57  does not deny, and He will demonstrate its truth. The witnesses for  God stand in His light and behold what He created. Their silence is
Tx:10.61  of God's Son. For until Christ comes into His own, the Son of  God will see himself as fatherless.
Tx:10.62  your resurrection and your life. You live in me because you live in  God. And everyone lives in you, as you live in everyone. Can you,
Tx:10.62  yourself? And can you perceive it in yourself and not perceive it in  God? Believe in the resurrection because it has been accomplished,
Tx:10.62  as true now as it will ever be, for the resurrection is the Will of  God, which knows no time and no exceptions. But make no exceptions
Tx:10.63  the power of the devotion of God's Son nor the power of the  god he worships over him. For he places himself at the altar of his
Tx:10.63  god he worships over him. For he places himself at the altar of his  god, whether it be the god he made or the God who created him. That
Tx:10.63  For he places himself at the altar of his god, whether it be the  god he made or the God who created him. That is why his slavery is as
Tx:10.63  at the altar of his god, whether it be the god he made or the  God who created him. That is why his slavery is as complete as his
Tx:10.63  his slavery is as complete as his freedom, for he will obey only the  god he accepts. The god of the crucifixion demands that he crucify,
Tx:10.63  as his freedom, for he will obey only the god he accepts. The  god of the crucifixion demands that he crucify, and his worshipers
Tx:10.63  name they crucify themselves, believing that the power of the Son of  God is born of sacrifice and pain. The God of the resurrection
Tx:10.63  that the power of the Son of God is born of sacrifice and pain. The  God of the resurrection demands nothing, for He does not will to take
Tx:10.64  be thrust upon you, but it can be offered you through the grace of  God. And you can accept it by His grace, for God is gracious to His
Tx:10.64  through the grace of God. And you can accept it by His grace, for  God is gracious to His Son, accepting him without question as His

Tx:10.65  thorn from his forehead. The love of God surrounds His Son, whom the  god of the crucifixion condemns. Teach not that I died in vain. Teach
Tx:10.65  work of the redemption, in which everyone has a part of equal value.  God does not judge His blameless Son. Having given Himself to him,
Tx:10.66  your own head. Yet you cannot crucify God's Son, for the Will of  God cannot die. His Son has been redeemed from his own crucifixion,
Tx:10.66  from his own crucifixion, and you cannot assign to death whom  God has given eternal life. The dream of crucifixion still lies heavy
Tx:10.66  what you see in dreams is not reality. While you perceive the Son of  God as crucified, you are asleep. And as long as you believe that you
Tx:10.68  equal value, and their equality is their oneness. The whole power of  God is in every part of Him, and nothing contradictory to His Will is
Tx:10.68  great or small. What does not exist has no size and no measure. To  God all things are possible. And to Christ it is given to be like the
Tx:10.69  have been created by the Father, for the world is not as you see it.  God created only the eternal, and everything you see is perishable.
Tx:10.70 Every loving thought that the Son of  God ever had is eternal. Those which his mind perceived in this world
Tx:10.72  You do not know the difference between what you have made and what  God created, and so you do not know the difference between what you
Tx:10.73  real world is to believe that you can know yourself. You can know  God because it is His Will to be known. The real world is all that
Tx:10.77 No one can withhold truth except from himself. Yet  God will not refuse the answer He gave you. Ask, then, for what is
Tx:10.77  and do not defend yourself against truth. You made the problem which  God has answered. Ask yourselves, therefore, but one simple question—
Tx:10.80  of you. Yet only by asking will you learn that nothing that is of  God demands anything of you. God gives; He does not take.
Tx:10.80  will you learn that nothing that is of God demands anything of you.  God gives; He does not take.
Tx:10.81  in return. For what is yours is everything, and you share it with  God. This is its reality. Would the Holy Spirit, Who wills only to
Tx:10.82  of the Holy Spirit is to ask for deprivation. Little Children of  God, you do not understand your Father. You believe in a world that
Tx:10.82  Do not deny it to yourself, for it can only free you. Nothing of  God will enslave His Son, whom He created free and whose freedom is
Tx:10.83 Blessed are you who will ask the truth of  God without fear, for only thus can you learn that His answer is the
Tx:10.83  learn that His answer is the release from fear. Beautiful Child of  God, you are asking only for what I promised you. Do you believe I
Tx:10.83  have nothing which they do not share. Ask for truth of any Son of  God, and you have asked it of me. No one of us but has the answer in
Tx:10.84  Christ, for Christ is his healing and yours. Christ is the Son of  God, who is in no way separate from His Father, whose every thought
Tx:10.85  are recognized, and because no one is without your help, the Help of  God goes with you everywhere. As you become willing to accept this
Tx:10.87  you, you are offended in yourself and are condemning God's Son, whom  God condemneth not. Let the Holy Spirit remove all offense of God's
Tx:10.87  and use it for all He sends you, for He wills to heal the Son of  God in whom He is not deceived.
Tx:10.90  your fears for truth if the exchange is yours for the asking? For if  God is not deceived in you, you can be deceived only in yourself. Yet
Tx:10.90  of yourself of the Holy Spirit, who will teach you that, as part of  God, deceit in you is impossible. When you perceive yourself without
Tx:11.7  for you cannot help yourselves. But hear his call for the help of  God, and you will recognize your own need for the Father.
Tx:11.8  sake of your need, then, hear every call for help as what it is, so  God can answer you.
Tx:11.15  the light, it has none, for it has power only because the Son of  God gave power to it. He must himself withdraw that power,
Tx:11.15  must himself withdraw that power, remembering that all power is of  God. You can remember this for all the Sonship. Do not allow your
Tx:11.15  for his forgetfulness is yours. But your remembering is his, for  God cannot be remembered alone. This is what you have forgotten. To
Tx:11.15  your brother as the healing of yourself is thus the way to remember  God. For you forgot your brothers with Him, and God's answer to your
Tx:11.19 You still want what  God wills, and no nightmare can defeat a Child of God in his purpose.
Tx:11.19 You still want what God wills, and no nightmare can defeat a Child of  God in his purpose. For your purpose was given you by God, and you
Tx:11.19  a Child of God in his purpose. For your purpose was given you by  God, and you must accomplish it because it is His Will. Awake and
Tx:11.23  how to use what He knows. Whatever is revealed to Him that is not of  God is gone. Yet you must reveal it to yourself in perfect
Tx:11.27  asking for salvation, as you are. Poverty is of the ego and never of  God. No “outrageous” request can be made of one who recognizes what
Tx:11.32 We once said that  God so loved the world that He gave it to His only-begotten Son. God
Tx:11.32  God so loved the world that He gave it to His only-begotten Son.  God does love the real world, and those who perceive its reality
Tx:11.32  For death is not of the real world, in which everything is eternal.  God gave you the real world in exchange for the one you made out of
Tx:11.32  death. For if you could really separate yourselves from the Mind of  God, you would die, and the world you perceive is a world of
Tx:11.34  must end. For in this same place also lies salvation. The altar of  God where Christ abideth is there.
Tx:11.35  and there you will learn to see truly. From this place, where  God and His Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you will
Tx:11.35  the Holy Spirit to project the real world to you from the altar of  God.
Tx:11.41  nor sold. There can be no disinherited parts of the Sonship, for  God is whole, and all His extensions are like Him.
Tx:11.52  properly understood, is limitless because it will lead you to  God. You can teach the way to Him and learn it if you follow the
Tx:11.54  Him of His Son, and He never ceases to remind His Son of the Father.  God is in your memory because of Him. You chose to forget your
Tx:11.56  would awaken them from the sleep of forgetting to the remembering of  God. Christ's eyes are open, and He will look upon whatever you see
Tx:11.57 The Holy Spirit keeps the vision of Christ for every Son of  God who sleeps. In His sight the Son of God is perfect, and He longs
Tx:11.57  of Christ for every Son of God who sleeps. In His sight the Son of  God is perfect, and He longs to share His vision with you. He will
Tx:11.57  share His vision with you. He will show you the real world because  God gave you Heaven. Through Him your Father calls His Son to
Tx:11.59 Every Child of  God is one in Christ, for his Being is in Christ as Christ's is in
Tx:11.59  God is one in Christ, for his Being is in Christ as Christ's is in  God. Christ's love for you is His love for His Father, which He knows
Tx:11.59  become so similar that they share the unification of the laws of  God.
Tx:11.60  of the separation is the reinstatement of knowledge. At the altar of  God, the holy perception of God's Son becomes so enlightened that
Tx:11.60  in the Mind of the Father and becomes one with it. Very gently does  God shine upon Himself, loving the extension of Himself which is His
Tx:11.60  His Son. The world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of  God. For the real world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where
Tx:11.60  been. There the Redeemer and the redeemed join in perfect love of  God and of each other. Heaven is your home, and being in God, it must
Tx:11.60  love of God and of each other. Heaven is your home, and being in  God, it must also be in you.
Tx:11.61  the Holy Spirit sends you for your blessing. In every Child of  God His blessing lies, and in your blessing of the Children of God is
Tx:11.61  of God His blessing lies, and in your blessing of the Children of  God is His blessing to you.
Tx:11.64  in Heaven is creation, so your function on earth is healing.  God shares His function with you in Heaven, and the Holy Spirit
Tx:11.71  of your mind is the loveliest of God's creations. Coming only from  God, its power and grandeur could only bring you peace if you really
Tx:11.72  will see me as you look within, and we will look upon the world as  God created it together. Through the eyes of Christ, only the real
Tx:11.74  it fully believes that you are a criminal, as deserving of death as  God knows you are deserving of life. The death penalty never leaves
Tx:11.75 The ego is not a traitor to  God to Whom treachery is impossible, but it is a traitor to you who
Tx:11.75  voice of the ego, which tells you that you have been treacherous to  God and therefore deserve death. You will think that death comes from
Tx:11.75  and therefore deserve death. You will think that death comes from  God and not from the ego because, by confusing yourself with the ego,
Tx:11.75  the ego, you believe that you want death. And from what you want,  God does not save you.
Tx:11.77 Do you really believe that you can kill the Son of  God? The Father has hidden His Son safely within Himself and kept him
Tx:11.80  Father's love you can never forget Him, for no one can forget what  God Himself placed in his memory. You can deny it, but you cannot
Tx:11.80  is the only truth, and what you have not heard is the only answer.  God would reunite you with yourself and did not abandon you in your
Tx:11.81  but to ask for this memory, and you will remember. Yet the memory of  God cannot shine in a mind which has made it invisible and wants to
Tx:11.81  has made it invisible and wants to keep it so. For the memory of  God can dawn only in a mind that wills to remember and that has
Tx:11.81  upon what you have made of it and rejoice that it is not so. Son of  God, be not content with nothing! What is not real cannot be seen and
Tx:11.81  with nothing! What is not real cannot be seen and has no value.  God could not offer His Son what has no value, nor could His Son
Tx:11.83  God's Being with Him could never be content without reality. What  God did not give you has no power over you, and the attraction of
Tx:11.84 The real world was given you by  God in loving exchange for the world you made and which you see. But
Tx:11.86  ground and seem to be no more. Not one of them but has thought that  God is cruel.
Tx:11.87 If this were the real world,  God would be cruel. For no father could subject his children to this
Tx:11.90 In this strange world which you have made, the Son of  God has sinned. How could you see him, then? By making him invisible,
Tx:11.91  behind you and will disappear. As long as you believe the Son of  God is guilty, you will walk along this carpet, believing that it
Tx:11.92 The journey which the Son of  God has set himself is foolish indeed, but the journey on which his
Tx:11.92  is with you. He has always undone everything unworthy of the Son of  God, for such was His mission, given Him by God. And what God gives
Tx:11.92  unworthy of the Son of God, for such was His mission, given Him by  God. And what God gives has always been.
Tx:11.92  the Son of God, for such was His mission, given Him by God. And what  God gives has always been.
Tx:11.93 You will see me as you learn the Son of  God is guiltless. He has always sought his guiltlessness, and he has
Tx:11.93  only a matter of time, and time is but an illusion. For the Son of  God is guiltless now, and the brightness of his purity shines
Tx:11.95  realize that there is no journey, but only an awakening. The Son of  God, who sleepeth not, has kept faith with his Father for you. There
Tx:11.95  There is no road to travel on and no time to travel through. For  God waits not for His Son in time, being forever unwilling to be
Tx:11.97  of need for expiation. Accepting the guiltlessness of the Son of  God as yours is therefore God's way of reminding you of His Son and
Tx:11.97  God's way of reminding you of His Son and what he is in truth. For  God has never condemned His Son, and being guiltless, he is eternal.
Tx:11.99  that it has never been. As He looks upon the guiltless Son of  God, he knows this is true. And being true for you, you cannot attack
Tx:12.1  it intolerable, since guilt stands in the way of your remembering  God, Whose pull is so strong that you cannot resist it. On this
Tx:12.2  have failed. Yet you have no idea that you are failing the Son of  God by seeing him as guilty. Believing you are no longer you, you do
Tx:12.3  God's Son can ultimately satisfy it. It does not know who the Son of  God is because it is blind. Yet let it perceive guiltlessness
Tx:12.6  him, and the reason it gave was that guiltlessness is blasphemous to  God. To the ego the ego is god, and guiltlessness must be interpreted
Tx:12.6  was that guiltlessness is blasphemous to God. To the ego the ego is  god, and guiltlessness must be interpreted as the final guilt which
Tx:12.9  will be yours. For the redeemed son of man is the guiltless Son of  God, and to recognize him is your redemption.
Tx:12.11  is of redemption. Under the ego's dark foundation is the memory of  God, and it is of this that you are really afraid. For this memory
Tx:12.12  stronger than it will ever be, is your intense and burning love of  God, and His for you. This is what you really want to hide.
Tx:12.13  then, seems to be attacking your fortress, for you would shut out  God, and He does not will to be excluded.
Tx:12.14  and that attack is grandeur. You think you have made a world which  God would destroy; and by loving Him, which you do, you would throw
Tx:12.15  did not. You would rather be slaves of the crucifixion than Sons of  God in redemption. For your individual death is more valued than your
Tx:12.15  is given you is not so dear as what you made. You are more afraid of  God than of the ego, and love cannot enter where it is not welcome.
Tx:12.17  and cleanse it of its littleness, restoring it to the magnitude of  God.
Tx:12.20  minds. You were at peace until you asked for special favor. And  God did not give it, for the request was alien to Him, and you could
Tx:12.21  seek a place of darkness where it can believe it is where it is not.  God did not allow this to happen. Yet you demanded that it happen and
Tx:12.22 To “single out” is to “make alone” and thus make lonely.  God did not do this to you. Could He set you apart, knowing that your
Tx:12.38  and you see only your own split mind everywhere you look.  God calls you and you do not hear, for you are preoccupied with your
Tx:12.40  perceiving them as witnesses to your reality, which you share with  God. I am with them as I am with you, and we will draw them from
Tx:12.40  gladness, and gladness is what we should offer Him. For every Son of  God is given you to whom God gave Himself. And it is God to Whom you
Tx:12.40  what we should offer Him. For every Son of God is given you to whom  God gave Himself. And it is God to Whom you must offer them to
Tx:12.40  every Son of God is given you to whom God gave Himself. And it is  God to Whom you must offer them to recognize His gift to you.
Tx:12.64  give this sad world over and exchange your errors for the peace of  God is but your will. And Christ will always offer you the Will of
Tx:12.64  God is but your will. And Christ will always offer you the Will of  God in recognition that you share it with Him.
Tx:12.65  and nothing else comes nigh unto him. He is as safe from pain as  God Himself, Who watches over him in everything. The world about him
Tx:12.65  over him in everything. The world about him shines with love because  God placed him in Himself where pain is not and love surrounds him
Tx:12.66 The peace of  God passeth your understanding only in the past. Yet here it is, and
Tx:12.66  only in the past. Yet here it is, and you can understand it now.  God loves His Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's love
Tx:12.66  it will fade. But this one thing is always yours, being the gift of  God unto His Son. Your one reality was given you, and by it God
Tx:12.66  gift of God unto His Son. Your one reality was given you, and by it  God created you as one with Him.
Tx:12.74  be not restless, for you undertake a quiet journey to the peace of  God, where He would have you be in quietness.
Tx:12.75  back. We walk together on the way to quietness that is the gift of  God. Hold me dear, for what except your brothers can you need? We
Tx:12.76  you that you have taught how to remember you. Thus does the Son of  God give thanks unto his Father for his purity.
Tx:13.2  is separate. You are an aspect of knowledge, being in the Mind of  God, Who knows you. All knowledge must be yours, for in you is all
Tx:13.3  making transfer to it possible. Yet the last step must be taken by  God because the last step in your redemption, which seems to be in
Tx:13.3  redemption, which seems to be in the future, was accomplished by  God in your creation. The separation has not interrupted it. Creation
Tx:13.3  of reality can be seen in everything and everywhere. Yet only  God can gather them together by crowning them as one with the final
Tx:13.4  in the mind of both and knowing that mind is one. He is a Thought of  God, and God has given Him to you because He has no Thoughts He does
Tx:13.4  of both and knowing that mind is one. He is a Thought of God, and  God has given Him to you because He has no Thoughts He does not
Tx:13.5  that it is one forever. Every miracle you offer to the Son of  God is but the true perception of one aspect of the whole. Though
Tx:13.6  aspect of reality you see blends quietly into the One Reality of  God. The only miracle that ever was is God's most holy Son, created
Tx:13.7  gift to everyone and everywhere, for miracles offered the Son of  God through the Holy Spirit attune you to reality. The Holy Spirit
Tx:13.8  suddenly time will be over, and we will all unite in the eternity of  God the Father. The holy light you saw outside yourself in every
Tx:13.9  fatherhood in Heaven. You are the witnesses to the Fatherhood of  God, and He has given you the power to create the witnesses to
Tx:13.9  deny the witnesses to] your fatherhood in Heaven. The miracle which  God created is perfect, as are the miracles which you created in His
Tx:13.10 Yet in this world, your perfection is unwitnessed.  God knows it, but you do not, and so you do not share His witness to
Tx:13.10  it. Nor do you witness unto Him, for reality is witnessed to as one.  God waits your witness to His Son and to Himself. The miracles you do
Tx:13.10  to what you do not know, and as they reach the gates of Heaven,  God will open them. For never would He leave His own beloved Son
Tx:13.11  so they must condemn. Between the future and the past, the laws of  God must intervene if you would free yourselves. Atonement stands
Tx:13.14  become as true for you as innocence. You do not believe the Son of  God is guiltless because you see the past and see him not. When you
Tx:13.15  that he is right in his delusion? The idea that the guiltless Son of  God can attack himself and make himself guilty is insane. In any
Tx:13.16  unto yourself. In every condemnation that you offer the Son of  God lies the conviction of your own guilt. If you would have the Holy
Tx:13.16  for you. Remember always that it is impossible to condemn the Son of  God in part. Those whom you see as guilty become the witnesses to
Tx:13.19  difference, for He knows not of differences. Can you see guilt where  God knows there is perfect innocence? You can deny His knowledge, but
Tx:13.26  to guilt, and see no reason for it. The Holy Spirit does what  God would have Him do and has always done so. He has seen separation,
Tx:13.27  teach, to make what will be now. As yet it is not now. The Son of  God believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a dark world where
Tx:13.28  His Will is like His Father's, and He offers mercy to every Child of  God, as He would have you do.
Tx:13.29  and see the light of love shining as steadily and as surely as  God Himself has always loved His Son. And as His son loves Him. There
Tx:13.29  were. Your guilt is without reason, because it is not in the Mind of  God where you are. And this is reason, which the Holy Spirit would
Tx:13.30  all your relationships and making them unreal. You can love only as  God loves. Seek not to love unlike Him, for there is no love apart
Tx:13.30  who condemns a brother can see himself as guiltless in the peace of  God. If he is guiltless and in peace and sees it not, he is
Tx:13.31 Behold the Son of  God and look upon his purity and be still. In quiet look upon his
Tx:13.33  centered on what I treasure. The difference is that I love only what  God loves with me, and because of this, I treasure you beyond the
Tx:13.33  the value that you set on yourselves, even unto the worth that  God has placed upon you. I love all that He created, and all my faith
Tx:13.33  let me offer to the Kingdom in honor of its wholeness, which is of  God.
Tx:13.34  the gates of Heaven where we will surely enter in our blamelessness.  God loves you. Could I, then, lack faith in you and love Him
Tx:13.36  God would not have His Son embattled, and so His Son's imagined
Tx:13.36  the hymn of freedom rising unto Heaven. Gladness and joy belong to  God for your release, because you made it not. Yet as you made not
Tx:13.37  you value wholly, and so you do not value it at all. Value is where  God placed it, and the value of what God esteems cannot be judged,
Tx:13.37  value it at all. Value is where God placed it, and the value of what  God esteems cannot be judged, for it has been established. It is
Tx:13.37  value it partially is not to know its value. In Heaven is everything  God valued and nothing else. Heaven is perfectly unambiguous.
Tx:13.38  will be fulfilled. How is this possible, when His mission is of  God?
Tx:13.39 You whose minds are darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this:  God gave the Holy Spirit to you and gave Him the mission to remove
Tx:13.39  It is impossible that this mission fail. Nothing can prevent what  God would have accomplished from accomplishment. Whatever your
Tx:13.40  will fail in what your Father has given Him to do. The Will of  God can fail in nothing.
Tx:13.41 Have faith in only this one thing, and it will be sufficient:  God wills you be in Heaven, and nothing can keep you from it or it
Tx:13.41  nightmares all mean nothing. They will not prevail against the peace  God wills for you. The Holy Spirit will restore your sanity, because
Tx:13.41  Spirit will restore your sanity, because insanity is not the Will of  God. If that suffices Him, it is enough for you. You will not keep
Tx:13.41  If that suffices Him, it is enough for you. You will not keep what  God would have removed, because it breaks communication with you with
Tx:13.42 The Communication Link which  God Himself placed within you, joining your minds with His, cannot be
Tx:13.42  the deep peace in which the sweet and constant communication which  God would share with you is known. Yet His channels of reaching out
Tx:13.43  God willed you Heaven and will always will you nothing else. The Holy
Tx:13.43  of His Will. There is no chance that Heaven will not be yours, for  God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as He is. You will learn
Tx:13.43  what the Holy Spirit wills to teach you. Salvation is as sure as  God. His certainty suffices. Learn that even the darkest nightmare
Tx:13.43  Son holds no power over him. He will learn the lesson of awaking.  God watches over him, and light surrounds him.
Tx:13.44 Can God's Son lose himself in dreams when  God has placed within him the glad call to waken and be glad? He
Tx:13.44  know that Heaven is yours to make it so. It is so. Yet the Will of  God must be accepted as your will to know it.
Tx:13.46 Failure is of the ego, not of  God. From Him you cannot wander, and there is no possibility that the
Tx:13.50  it has not touched, and your dream is sacred to you. That is why  God placed the Holy Spirit in you, where you placed the dream.
Tx:13.51  all the power that he gives to them. The thoughts he shares with  God are beyond his belief, but those he made are his beliefs. And it
Tx:13.59 Like you, the Holy Spirit did not make truth. Like  God, He knows it to be true. He brings the light of truth into the
Tx:13.63  is impossible to deny the simple truth. For there is nothing else.  God is everywhere, and His Son is in Him with everything. Can he sing
Tx:13.66  to yourself gently, but with the conviction born of the love of  God and of His Son,
Tx:13.70  The joy of learning that darkness has no power over the Son of  God is the happy lesson the Holy Spirit teaches and would have you
Tx:13.71  is also his. There is nothing to forgive. No one can hurt the Son of  God. His guilt is wholly without cause, and being without cause,
Tx:13.72  God is the only Cause, and guilt is not of Him. Teach no one he has
Tx:13.72  has hurt you, for if you do, you teach yourself that what is not of  God has power over you. The causeless cannot be. Do not attest to it,
Tx:13.72  only when you learn to deny the causeless and accept the Cause of  God as yours. The power that God has given to His Son is his, and
Tx:13.72  the causeless and accept the Cause of God as yours. The power that  God has given to His Son is his, and nothing else can His Son see or
Tx:13.75  will never ask what you have done to make you worthy of the gift of  God. Ask it not therefore of yourselves. Instead, accept His answer,
Tx:13.75  accept His answer, for He knows that you are worthy of everything  God wills for you. Do not try to escape the gift of God which He so
Tx:13.75  of everything God wills for you. Do not try to escape the gift of  God which He so freely and so gladly offers you. He offers you but
Tx:13.75  which He so freely and so gladly offers you. He offers you but what  God gave Him for you. You need not decide whether or not you are
Tx:13.75  for you. You need not decide whether or not you are deserving of it.  God knows you are.
Tx:13.76  true. Peace abides in every mind that quietly accepts the plan which  God has set for his Atonement, relinquishing his own. You know not of
Tx:13.77 The One Who knows the plan of  God which God would have you follow can teach you what it is. Only
Tx:13.77 The One Who knows the plan of God which  God would have you follow can teach you what it is. Only His wisdom
Tx:13.77  and against this strange distortion of the purity of the Son of  God, the Holy Spirit is your only friend. He is the strong protector
Tx:13.78  and leads you gladly on it. With Him you will not fail to learn what  God wills for you is your will. Without His guidance, you will think
Tx:13.78  that salvation lay in you alone. Salvation is of Him to Whom  God gave it for you. He has not forgotten it. Forget Him not, and He
Tx:13.78  make every decision for you, for your salvation, and the peace of  God in you.
Tx:13.79  teaches only that the “sin” of self-replacement on the throne of  God is not a source of guilt. What cannot happen can have no effects
Tx:13.79  may be your choice, but not your reality. Never forget the love of  God, Who has remembered you. For it is quite impossible that He could
Tx:13.80  for me,” and it is done. For His decisions are reflections of what  God knows about you, and in this light, error of any kind becomes
Tx:13.86  acknowledged. Yet truth is offered first to be received, even as  God gave it first to His Son. The first in time means nothing, but
Tx:13.86  Son. The first in time means nothing, but the First in eternity is  God the Father, Who is both First and One. Beyond the First, there is
Tx:13.87  that thought it was. This state, and only this, must you attain with  God beside you. For until you do, you will still think that you are
Tx:13.89  what must be done before that knowledge would be meaningful to you.  God breaks no barriers; neither did He make them. When you release
Tx:13.89  neither did He make them. When you release them, they are gone.  God will not fail nor ever has in anything.
Tx:13.90 Decide that  God is right and you are wrong about yourself. He created you out of
Tx:13.90  darkness and deceit undone. Fail not yourself, but instead offer to  God and you His blameless Son. For this small gift of appreciation
Tx:13.90  His blameless Son. For this small gift of appreciation for His Love,  God will Himself exchange your gift for His.
Tx:13.91  what you should do? Leave all decisions to the One Who speaks for  God and for your function as He knows it. So will He teach you to
Tx:13.91  awful burden you have laid upon yourself by loving not the Son of  God and trying to teach him guilt instead of love. Give up this
Tx:13.91  and insane attempt, which cheats you of the joy of living with your  God and Father, and awaking gladly to His love and holiness, which
Tx:13.92 When you have learned how to decide with  God, all decisions become as easy and as right as breathing. There is
Tx:14.1 Unless you are guiltless, you cannot know  God, Whose Will is that you know Him. Therefore, you must be
Tx:14.1  that knowledge is swept away from recognition in the very mind where  God Himself has placed it. If you would but listen and learn how
Tx:14.2  but not without you. You who have thrown your selves away and valued  God so little, hear me speak for Him and for yourselves. You cannot
Tx:14.3  to itself. Atonement teaches you the true condition of the Son of  God. It does not teach you what you are or what your Father is. The
Tx:14.4  because each sees the other unlike the way he sees himself.  God can communicate only to the Holy Spirit in your mind because only
Tx:14.4  your mind because only He shares the knowledge of what you are with  God. And only the Holy Spirit can answer God for you, for only He
Tx:14.4  of what you are with God. And only the Holy Spirit can answer  God for you, for only He knows what God is. Everything else that you
Tx:14.4  only the Holy Spirit can answer God for you, for only He knows what  God is. Everything else that you have placed within your mind cannot
Tx:14.4  mind cannot exist, for what is not in communication with the Mind of  God has never been. Communication with God is life. Nothing without
Tx:14.4  with the Mind of God has never been. Communication with  God is life. Nothing without it is at all.
Tx:14.5  of your mind that has reality is the part which links you still with  God. Would you have all of it transformed into a radiant message of
Tx:14.5  Love, to share with all the lonely ones who denied Him with you?  God makes this possible. Would you deny His yearning to be known? You
Tx:14.5  here and everything of value there. Listen to the Holy Spirit and to  God through Him. He speaks of you to you. There is no guilt in you,
Tx:14.5  through Him. He speaks of you to you. There is no guilt in you, for  God is blessed in His Son as the Son is blessed in Him.
Tx:14.6  remains unfulfilled in him. The burden of guilt is heavy, but  God would not have you bound by it. His plan for your awaking is as
Tx:14.6  with you. His gentleness is yours, and all the love you share with  God He holds in trust for you. He would teach you nothing except how
Tx:14.7  blessing Father, joy was created for you. Who can condemn whom  God has blessed? There is nothing in the Mind of God that does not
Tx:14.7  can condemn whom God has blessed? There is nothing in the Mind of  God that does not share His shining innocence. Creation is the
Tx:14.7  become the teachers of the innocence that is the right of all that  God created. Deny them not what is their due, for you will not
Tx:14.8  but shine away the heavy veils of guilt within which the Son of  God has hidden himself from his own sight. We are all joined in the
Tx:14.10  for the single purpose of release from guilt to the eternal glory of  God and His creation. And every teaching that points to this points
Tx:14.10  that points to this points straight to Heaven and to the peace of  God. There is no pain, no trial, no fear that teaching this can fail
Tx:14.10  trial, no fear that teaching this can fail to overcome. The power of  God Himself supports this teaching and guarantees its limitless
Tx:14.11  teaching such as this. You will not see yourself beyond the power of  God if you teach only this. You will not be exempt from the effects
Tx:14.12  which no one is excluded. Within its holy circle is everyone whom  God created as His Son. Joy is its unifying attribute, with no one
Tx:14.12  with no one left outside to suffer guilt alone. The power of  God draws everyone to its safe embrace of love and union. Stand
Tx:14.13  Fail not the only purpose to which my teaching calls you. Restore to  God His Son as He created him by teaching him his innocence.
Tx:14.14  reign of love. The power of love is in His gentleness, which is of  God and therefore cannot crucify nor suffer crucifixion. The temple
Tx:14.14  altar, for it was rebuilt through you. And everything you give to  God is yours. Thus He creates, and thus must you restore.
Tx:14.20  to Him for His most holy purpose. He knows you are not separate from  God, but He perceives much in your mind that lets you think you are.
Tx:14.23  gates are open wide to greet His Son. No one can fail to come where  God has called him if he close not the door himself upon his Father's
Tx:14.26  From their point of view, it is not true. Yet it is true because  God knows it. These are clearly opposite viewpoints of what the
Tx:14.26  are clearly opposite viewpoints of what the “unknowing” are. To  God, unknowing is impossible. It is therefore not a point of view at
Tx:14.28  no protection does not defend itself. Defense is of your making.  God knows it not. The Holy Spirit uses defenses on behalf of truth
Tx:14.29  of preservation and release. His task is mighty, but the power of  God is with Him. Therefore, to Him it is so easy that it was
Tx:14.29  in your return to peace by wondering how He can fulfill what  God has given Him to do. Leave that to Him Who knows. You are not
Tx:14.31 You cannot see alone. Sharing perception with Him Whom  God has given you teaches you how to recognize what you see. It is
Tx:14.31  fusing of everything into one meaning, one emotion, and one purpose.  God has one purpose which He shares with you. The single vision which
Tx:14.31  so intense you could not wish for all the world not to accept what  God would have you have. Behold your will, accepting it as His, with
Tx:14.31  love as yours. All honor to you through Him, and through Him unto  God.
Tx:14.32 In the darkness you have obscured the glory  God gave you and the power He bestowed upon His guiltless Son. All
Tx:14.32  have closed lies nothing, because nothing can obscure the gift of  God. It is the closing of the doors that interferes with recognition
Tx:14.32  of the doors that interferes with recognition of the power of  God that shines in you. Banish not power from your mind, but let all
Tx:14.32  you would be released from littleness to glory. To what He promised  God He is wholly faithful, for He shared with God the promise that
Tx:14.32  To what He promised God He is wholly faithful, for He shared with  God the promise that was given Him to share with you.
Tx:14.33  to lay upon the altar to your Father and His Son. No altar stands to  God without His Son. And nothing brought there that is not equally
Tx:14.33  gifts wholly acceptable to Father and to Son. Can you offer guilt to  God? You cannot, then, offer it to His Son. For they are not apart,
Tx:14.34 You know not  God because you know not this. And yet you do know God and also this.
Tx:14.34 You know not God because you know not this. And yet you do know  God and also this. All this is safe within you, where the Holy Spirit
Tx:14.34  shines. He shines not in division, but in the meeting place where  God, united with His Son, speaks to His Son through Him.
Tx:14.34  Holy Spirit and in you. All interference in the communication that  God Himself wills with His Son is quite impossible here. Unbroken and
Tx:14.35  by the Guide appointed for you. He will surely lead you to where  God and His Son await your recognition. They are joined in giving you
Tx:14.36  through gentle understanding which can lead you nowhere else. Where  God is, there are you. Such is the truth. Nothing can change the
Tx:14.36  Such is the truth. Nothing can change the knowledge given you by  God into unknowingness. Everything God created knows its Creator. For
Tx:14.36  change the knowledge given you by God into unknowingness. Everything  God created knows its Creator. For this is how creation is
Tx:14.37  of creation and with its One Creator. And Heaven remains the Will of  God for you. Lay no gifts other than this upon your altars, for
Tx:14.37  it. Here your meager offerings are brought together with the gift of  God, and only what is worthy of the Father will be accepted by the
Tx:14.37  will be accepted by the Son, for whom it was intended. To whom  God gives Himself, He is given. Your little gifts will vanish on the
Tx:14.38  you are. The bringing together of truth and illusion, of the ego to  God, is the Holy Spirit's only function. Keep not your making from
Tx:14.39 Bringing the ego to  God is but to bring error to truth, where it stands corrected because
Tx:14.40  will rush to your assistance and support. You are not frail with  God beside you. Yet without Him you are nothing. The Atonement offers
Tx:14.40  you. Yet without Him you are nothing. The Atonement offers you  God. The gift which you refused is held by Him in you. His Spirit
Tx:14.40  refused is held by Him in you. His Spirit holds it there for you.  God has not left His altar, though His worshiper placed other gods
Tx:14.41  knows they will return to purity and to grace. The graciousness of  God will take them gently in and cover all their sense of pain and
Tx:14.41  Love. There, fear of death will be replaced with joy of living. For  God is Life, and they abide in Life. [Life is as holy as the Holiness
Tx:14.42  would hold God's reflection in it. Earth can reflect Heaven or hell;  God or the ego. You need but leave the mirror clean and clear of all
Tx:14.42  clear of all the images of hidden darkness you have drawn upon it.  God will shine upon it of Himself. Only the clear reflection of
Tx:14.43 The reflection of  God needs no interpretation. It is clear. Clean but the mirror, and
Tx:14.44  for a single instant the power of healing that the reflection of  God, shining in you, can bring to all the world, you could not wait
Tx:14.45  rather the actual condition of what was but reflected to them here.  God is no image, and His creations, as part of Him, hold Him in them
Tx:14.46 When no perception stands between  God and His creations, or between His Children and their own, the
Tx:14.47  reflection here, its truth becomes the only perception the Son of  God accepts. And thus, remembrance of his Father dawns on him, and he
Tx:14.51  no judgment of your own. The answer is very simple. The power of  God, and not of you, engenders miracles. The miracle itself is but
Tx:14.51  The miracle itself is but the witness that you have the power of  God in you. That is the reason why the miracle gives equal blessing
Tx:14.51  in it, and that is also why everyone shares in it. The power of  God is limitless. And being always maximal, it offers everything to
Tx:14.55 It is impossible to remember  God in secret and alone. For remembering Him means you are not alone
Tx:14.56 As  God communicates to the Holy Spirit in you, so does the Holy Spirit
Tx:14.56  translate His communications through you so you can understand them.  God has no secret communications, for everything of Him is perfectly
Tx:14.57  identity wherever it is not recognized, you will recognize it. And  God Himself, Who wills to be with His Son forever, will bless each
Tx:14.58  that you do not know. Knowledge is power, and all power is of  God. You who have tried to keep power for yourselves have lost it.
Tx:14.58  of any kind. Yet all that stands between you and the power of  God in you is but your learning of the false and your attempts to
Tx:14.59  forever. For you have taught yourselves how to imprison the Son of  God, a lesson so unthinkable that only the insane, in deepest sleep,
Tx:14.59  that only the insane, in deepest sleep, could even dream of it. Can  God learn how not to be God? And can His Son, given all power by Him,
Tx:14.59  deepest sleep, could even dream of it. Can God learn how not to be  God? And can His Son, given all power by Him, learn to be powerless?
Tx:14.61  in you can hardly judge the truth and value of this course. Yet  God did not abandon you. And so you have another lesson sent from
Tx:14.61  from Him, already learned for every Child of light by Him to Whom  God gave it. This lesson shines with God's glory, for in it lies His
Tx:14.63 You have one test, as sure as  God, by which to recognize if what you learned is true. If you are
Tx:14.66  to attempt to teach yourself what you do not know, the Guide Whom  God has given you will speak to you. He will take His rightful place
Tx:14.67  His Son to turn to Him and remain Himself. It is impossible that  God lose His Identity, for if He did, you would lose yours. And being
Tx:14.70  can abide in what He has established as holy by His Presence. Thank  God that He is there and works through you. And all His works are
Tx:14.71 God's Son will always be indivisible. As we are held as one in  God, so do we learn as one in Him. God's Teacher is as like to His
Tx:14.71  as like to His Creator as is His Son, and through His Teacher does  God proclaim His Oneness and His Son's. Listen in silence, and do not
Tx:14.71  having the holy stamp of immortality upon it. This is the Will of  God for all creation, and all creation joins in willing this.
Tx:14.72  be found alone. Each brings the other with it, for it is the law of  God they be not separate. They are cause and effect, each to the
Tx:14.75 The power of  God, from which they both arise, is yours as surely as it is His. You
Tx:15.9  Each instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in which the Son of  God emerges from the past into the present. And the present extends
Tx:15.11  There is no change in Heaven because there is no change in  God. In the holy instant in which you see yourself as bright with
Tx:15.11  in which you see yourself as bright with freedom, you will remember  God. For remembering Him is to remember freedom.
Tx:15.14  perfect sanity, perfect peace, and perfect love for everyone, for  God, and for yourself. As long as it takes to remember immortality
Tx:15.16  not for time. Being in you, it is eternal. What holds remembrance of  God cannot be bound by time. No more are you. For unless God is
Tx:15.16  of God cannot be bound by time. No more are you. For unless  God is bound, you cannot be. An instant offered to the Holy Spirit is
Tx:15.16  you cannot be. An instant offered to the Holy Spirit is offered to  God on your behalf, and in that instant you will awaken gently in
Tx:15.17  because it is wholly without fear. It will come, being the lesson  God gives you through the Teacher He has appointed to translate time
Tx:15.17  He gently translates hell into Heaven. For it is only in Heaven that  God would have you be.
Tx:15.18 How long can it take to be where  God would have you? For you are where you have forever been and will
Tx:15.18  have forever. The blessed instant reaches out to encompass time, as  God extends Himself to encompass you. You who have spent days, hours,
Tx:15.19  And you will know which you have chosen by their reactions. A Son of  God who has been released through the Holy Spirit in a brother, if
Tx:15.20  will, and you will recognize it with perfect certainty. No gift of  God is recognized in any other way. You can practice the mechanics of
Tx:15.21  from you in this practice, for it is the practice of the power of  God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you will never deny it
Tx:15.26 The power of  God will support every effort you make on behalf of His dear Son.
Tx:15.26  dear Son. Search for the little, and you deny yourself His power.  God is not willing that His Son be content with less than everything.
Tx:15.26  asked you once before, “Would you be hostage to the ego or host to  God?” Let this question be asked you by the Holy Spirit in you every
Tx:15.27 When  God gave Himself to you in your creation, He established you as host
Tx:15.27  and make His Son hostage to the ego cannot make little whom  God has joined with Him. Every decision you make is for Heaven or for
Tx:15.28 Decide for  God through Him. For littleness and the belief that you can be
Tx:15.28  made about yourself. The power and the glory that lie in you from  God are for all who, like you, perceive themselves as little and have
Tx:15.28  Neither give littleness, nor accept it. All honor is due the host of  God. Your littleness deceives you, but your magnitude is of Him Who
Tx:15.29  task together to restore the awareness of magnitude to the host whom  God appointed for Himself. It is beyond all your littleness to give
Tx:15.29  for Himself. It is beyond all your littleness to give the gift of  God, but not beyond you. For God would give Himself through you. He
Tx:15.29  all your littleness to give the gift of God, but not beyond you. For  God would give Himself through you. He reaches from you to everyone
Tx:15.30  little offerings you have given slip into nothingness. Holy Child of  God, when will you learn that only holiness can content you and give
Tx:15.31  together we can replace the shabby littleness that binds the host of  God to guilt and weakness with the glad awareness of the glory that
Tx:15.32  for yourself. But you will gladly give, having received. The host of  God need not seek to find anything.
Tx:15.33 If you are wholly willing to leave salvation to the plan of  God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace yourself, salvation
Tx:15.33  all those who would be bound, proclaiming together that the Son of  God is host to Him. Thus will we let no one forget what you would
Tx:15.34 Call forth in everyone only the remembrance of  God and of the Heaven that is in him. For where you would help your
Tx:15.35  not beyond immediate learning unless you prefer to believe that what  God wills takes time. And this means only that you would rather delay
Tx:15.36  and there is nothing else that can bring you peace. For peace is of  God and of no one beside Him.
Tx:15.37  yet great in Him. And value no plan of the ego before the plan of  God. For you leave empty your place in His plan, which you must
Tx:15.37  plan that He has given to the world for its release from littleness.  God would have His host abide in perfect freedom. Every allegiance to
Tx:15.39  at once, for the release from littleness in the mind of the host of  God depends on willingness and not on time. The reason why this
Tx:15.41  you are not in full communication with those around you and with  God Who surrounds all of you together.
Tx:15.44  you. Thus will He make you ready to acknowledge that you are host to  God and hostage to no one and nothing.
Tx:15.47  reality and understand what love means. If you would love unlike to  God, Who knows no special love, how can you understand it? To believe
Tx:15.53  God knows you now. He remembers nothing, having always known you
Tx:15.53  His frame of reference for it. His frame of reference is simply  God. The Holy Spirit's timelessness lies only here. For in the holy
Tx:15.54  blessing, it becomes one to you. The meaning of love is the meaning  God gave to it. Give to it any meaning apart from His, and it is
Tx:15.54  apart from His, and it is impossible to understand it. Every brother  God loves as He loves you—neither less nor more. He needs them all
Tx:15.54  are seeking you. Yet in the holy instant, you unite directly with  God, and all your brothers join in Christ. Those who are joined in
Tx:15.54  in no way separate. For Christ is the Self the Sonship shares, as  God shares His Self with Christ.
Tx:15.55 Think you that you can judge the Self of  God? God has created it beyond judgment out of His need to extend His
Tx:15.55 Think you that you can judge the Self of God?  God has created it beyond judgment out of His need to extend His
Tx:15.55  one. For the holy instant reaches to eternity and to the Mind of  God. And it is only there love has meaning, and only there can it be
Tx:15.59 You do not find it difficult to believe that, when another calls on  God for love, your call remains as strong. Nor do you think that, by
Tx:15.59  of yours. That is because you recognize, however dimly, that  God is an idea, and so your faith in Him is strengthened by sharing.
Tx:15.60  give. And this is love, for this alone is natural under the laws of  God.
Tx:15.61 In the holy instant, the laws of  God prevail, and only they have meaning. The laws of this world cease
Tx:15.61  laws of this world cease to hold any meaning at all. When the Son of  God accepts the laws of God as what he gladly wills, it is impossible
Tx:15.61  to hold any meaning at all. When the Son of God accepts the laws of  God as what he gladly wills, it is impossible that he be bound or
Tx:15.61  he be bound or limited in any way. In this instant, he is as free as  God would have him be. For the instant he refuses to be bound, he is
Tx:15.62  instant, you will recognize the only need the aspects of the Son of  God share equally, and by this recognition you will join with me in
Tx:15.64 In the holy instant  God is remembered, and the language of communication with all your
Tx:15.64  and that of all your brothers to replace it in your awareness.  God and the power of God will take their rightful place in you, and
Tx:15.64  your brothers to replace it in your awareness. God and the power of  God will take their rightful place in you, and you will experience
Tx:15.67  for ugliness such as this belongs not in your holy mind. The host of  God can have no real investment here.
Tx:15.69 It is this chain that binds the Son of  God to guilt, and it is this chain the Holy Spirit would remove from
Tx:15.69  For the chain of savagery belongs not around the chosen host of  God, who cannot make himself host to the ego. In the name of his
Tx:15.77  that communication is salvation. And He will do so, for the power of  God in Him and you is joined in real relationship, so holy and so
Tx:15.80  that you cannot conceive of need so great. Behold the only need that  God and His Son share and will to meet together. You are not alone in
Tx:15.80  you to share your will with them. Turn, then, in peace from guilt to  God and them.
Tx:15.81  as nothing more than a mistake in who you are. For the holy host of  God is beyond failure, and nothing that he wills can be denied. You
Tx:15.82 Think but an instant on this:  God gave the Sonship to you to ensure your perfect creation. This was
Tx:15.82  relationships are with the universe. And this universe, being of  God, is far beyond the petty sum of all the separate bodies you
Tx:15.82  the separate bodies you perceive. For all its parts are joined in  God through Christ, where they become like to their Father. For
Tx:15.83  the attempt, it will succeed. The Holy Spirit asks you to respond as  God does, for He would teach you what you do not understand. God
Tx:15.83  as God does, for He would teach you what you do not understand.  God would respond to every need, whatever form it takes. And so He
Tx:15.83  channel open to receive His communication to you and yours to Him.  God does not understand your problem in communication, for He does
Tx:15.84  it because you have made it. In Him alone lies the awareness of what  God cannot know and what you do not understand. It is His holy
Tx:15.84  to Him Who knows it must be possible because it is the Will of  God. And let Him Whose teaching is only of God teach you the only
Tx:15.84  because it is the Will of God. And let Him Whose teaching is only of  God teach you the only meaning of relationships. For God created the
Tx:15.84  is only of God teach you the only meaning of relationships. For  God created the only relationship which has meaning, and that is His
Tx:15.85  the Great Rays shining from them, so unlimited that they reach to  God. It is this shift in vision which is accomplished in the holy
Tx:15.85  you want, it is translated into knowledge by the part which  God Himself plays in the Atonement, for it is the only step in it He
Tx:15.85  Therefore, in this there will be no delay when you are ready for it.  God is ready now, but you are not.
Tx:15.87 Real relationships have no limits, having been established by  God. In the holy instant, where the Great Rays replace the body in
Tx:15.88 It is impossible to divide your strength between Heaven and hell,  God and the ego, and release your power unto creation, which is the
Tx:15.89 If you would but let the Holy Spirit tell you of the love of  God for you and the need your creations have to be with you forever,
Tx:15.90  must remember—the attraction of guilt opposes the attraction of  God. His attraction for you remains unlimited, but because your
Tx:15.90  can turn away from love. What you invest in guilt, you withdraw from  God. And your sight grows weak and dim and limited, for you have
Tx:15.91  there are no bodies, and you experience only the attraction of  God. Accepting it as undivided, you join Him wholly in an instant.
Tx:15.93  For in this liberating instant, no guilt is laid upon the Son of  God, and his unlimited power is thus restored to him. What other gift
Tx:15.93  the gift you offer me. I am as incapable of receiving sacrifice as  God is, and every sacrifice you ask of yourself, you ask of me. Learn
Tx:15.95  you believe that it is possible to be host to the ego or hostage to  God. This is the choice you think you have, and the decision which
Tx:15.98  price of love, which must be paid by fear. How fearful, then, has  God become to you, and how great a sacrifice do you believe His love
Tx:15.98  total sacrifice. And so the ego seems to demand less of you than  God, and of the two is judged as the lesser of two evils, one to be
Tx:15.98  able to be neither completely. And this you think saves you from  God, Whose total love would completely destroy you.
Tx:15.99  price of not accepting this has been so great that you have given  God away rather than look at it. For if God would demand total
Tx:15.99  so great that you have given God away rather than look at it. For if  God would demand total sacrifice of you, you thought it safer to
Tx:15.100  it is that makes the decision so easy! Salvation is simple, being of  God and therefore very easy to understand. Do not try to project it
Tx:15.100  question and the answer—the demand for sacrifice and the peace of  God.
Tx:15.102  the whole idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is Host to  God. And you need but invite Him in Who is there already, by
Tx:15.102  holiness which surrounds it. No fear can touch the host who cradles  God in the time of Christ, for the Host is as holy as the Perfect
Tx:15.104  peace is the condition for the awareness of your relationship with  God. Through guilt you exclude your Father and your brothers from
Tx:15.106  For unless the universe were joined in you, it would be apart from  God, and to be without Him is to be without meaning.
Tx:15.109  God offers thanks to the holy host who would receive Him and let Him
Tx:16.7  The power of love, which is its meaning, lies in the strength of  God, which hovers over it and blesses it silently by enveloping it in
Tx:16.12  of the whole in every part is perfectly natural. For it is the way  God thinks, and what is natural to Him is natural to you. Wholly
Tx:16.15  you, and be glad you do not understand it. Miracles are natural to  God and to the One Who speaks for Him. For His task is to translate
Tx:16.16  You can delay this now but only a little while. The Host of  God has called to you, and you have heard. Never again will you be
Tx:16.17  of your interpretation, considering honestly what they have been?  God wills you better. Could you not look with greater charity on whom
Tx:16.17  wills you better. Could you not look with greater charity on whom  God loves with perfect love?
Tx:16.25  already done this, for the Holy Spirit is part of you. Created by  God, He left neither God nor His creation. He is both God and you, as
Tx:16.25  for the Holy Spirit is part of you. Created by God, He left neither  God nor His creation. He is both God and you, as you are God and Him
Tx:16.25  Created by God, He left neither God nor His creation. He is both  God and you, as you are God and Him together. For God's answer to the
Tx:16.25  neither God nor His creation. He is both God and you, as you are  God and Him together. For God's answer to the separation added more
Tx:16.25  to your teaching of yourself, who is their home. You who are host to  God are also host to them. For nothing real has ever left the mind of
Tx:16.26 You are not two selves in conflict. What is beyond  God? If you who hold Him and whom He holds are the universe, all else
Tx:16.31  last emerge as yourself. This is the last step in the readiness for  God. Be not unwilling now. You are too near, and you will cross the
Tx:16.37  which you could never be complete. No specialness can offer you what  God has given and what you are joined with Him in giving.
Tx:16.38 Across the bridge is your completion, for you will be wholly in  God, willing for nothing special but only to be wholly like unto Him,
Tx:16.38  abode of peace and perfect holiness. Only there is the completion of  God and of His Son established forever. Seek not for this in the
Tx:16.38  is certain, and where everything fails to satisfy. In the Name of  God, be wholly willing to abandon all illusions. In any relationship
Tx:16.38  you are wholly willing to accept completion, and only this, there is  God completed and His Son with Him.
Tx:16.39  to union in yourself must lead to knowledge, for it was built with  God beside you and will lead you straight to Him, where your

Tx:16.41  away from truth together, and then together we go straight to  God in joyous answer to His call for His completion.
Tx:16.42  completion, can they have value to you? What would interfere with  God must interfere with you. Only in time does interference in God's
Tx:16.42  upheld by timelessness, you are directed straight to the Heart of  God. At its center, and only there, you are safe forever because you
Tx:16.42  because you are complete forever. There is no veil the love of  God in us together cannot lift. The way to truth is open. Follow it
Tx:16.44 Very simply, the attempt to make guilty is always directed against  God. For the ego would have you see Him, and Him alone, as guilty,
Tx:16.46  special relationship, born of the hidden wish for special love from  God, that the ego's hatred triumphs. For the special relationship is
Tx:16.46  For the special relationship is the renunciation of the love of  God and the attempt to secure for the self the specialness which He
Tx:16.47  and in the extension of the “victory” even to the final triumph over  God. In this it sees the ultimate freedom of the self, for nothing
Tx:16.52 If you perceived the special relationship as a triumph over  God, would you want it? Let us not think of its fearful nature nor of
Tx:16.52  to occur. The central theme in its litany to sacrifice is that  God must die so you can live. And it is this theme which is acted out
Tx:16.54  of form, aimed at the raising of the form to take the place of  God at the expense of content. There is no meaning in the form, and
Tx:16.54  a senseless ritual in which strength is extracted from the death of  God and invested in His killer as the sign that form has triumphed
Tx:16.54  For if it were possible, you would have made yourself helpless.  God is not angry. He merely could not let this happen. You cannot

Tx:16.57  truth and into fantasy. Yet for every learning that would hurt you,  God offers you correction and complete escape from all its

Tx:16.59  is the sign that you equate yourself with the ego and not with  God. For the special relationship has value only to the ego. To the
Tx:16.59  Yet this cannot be natural, for it is unlike the relationship of  God and His Son, and all relationships that are unlike this one must
Tx:16.59  all relationships that are unlike this one must be unnatural. For  God created love as He would have it be and gave it as it is. Love
Tx:16.60  yourself in bondage is to separate yourself from it. For the love of  God, no longer seek for union in separation nor for freedom in
Tx:16.62  the universe. Far more is left outside than would be taken in. For  God is left without and nothing taken in. If one such union were made
Tx:16.68  take its rightful place within it. Wait no longer, for the love of  God and you. And may the holy instant speed you on the way, as it
Tx:16.77 What  God has given you is truly given and will be truly received. For
Tx:16.77  Holy Spirit teaches you is to remind you that you have received what  God has given you.
Tx:16.78  Their reality has no past, and only illusions can be forgiven.  God holds nothing against anyone, for He is incapable of illusions of
Tx:16.79  heal and the ego's “atonement” which would destroy. The power of  God and all His Love, without limit, will support you as you seek
Tx:16.79  place in the plan of Atonement arising from His Love. Be an ally of  God and not the ego in seeking how Atonement can come to you. His

Tx:17.1 The betrayal of the Son of  God lies only in illusions, and all his “sins” are but his own
Tx:17.1  In his dreams he has betrayed himself, his brothers, and his  God. Yet what is done in dreams has not been really done. It is
Tx:17.7  the happiness this sight will bring you. For you will see the Son of  God. You will behold the beauty which the Holy Spirit loves to look

Tx:17.10  be so short that you will barely have time to thank God for it. For  God will take the last step swiftly when you have reached the real
Tx:17.11  reason is suddenly released to loveliness. Not even what the Son of  God made in insanity could be without a hidden spark of beauty which
Tx:17.12  a sign of God's perfection. From the forgiven world, the Son of  God is lifted easily into his home. And there he knows that he has
Tx:17.14  immortal are “enemies” of reality. Be willing to forgive the Son of  God for what he did not do. The shadow figures are the witnesses you
Tx:17.22  to light your way and make it clear to you. God's Son is one. Whom  God has joined as one, the ego cannot break apart. The spark of
Tx:17.25 —it is all the same. For you can never choose except between  God and the ego. Thought systems are but true or false, and all their
Tx:17.25  attributes come simply from what they are. Only the Thoughts of  God are true. And all that follows from them comes from what they are
Tx:17.26  dreams are cherished have excluded me. Let me enter in the Name of  God and bring you peace that you may offer peace to me.
Tx:17.27  God established His relationship with you to make you happy, and
Tx:17.27  you do which does not share His purpose can be real. The purpose  God ascribed to anything is its only function. Because of His reason

Tx:17.27  function, you relate to your creations as God to His. For nothing  God created is apart from happiness, and nothing God created but
Tx:17.27  to His. For nothing God created is apart from happiness, and nothing  God created but would extend happiness as its Creator did. Whatever
Tx:17.28  is meant is that He will restore to them the function given them by  God. The function you have given them is clearly not to make happy.

Tx:17.42 As  God ascends into His rightful place and you to yours, you will

Tx:17.73  are no longer wholly insane, nor no longer alone. For loneliness in  God must be a dream. You whose relationship shares the Holy Spirit's
Tx:17.78 Such was the crucifixion of the Son of  God. His faithlessness did this to him. Think carefully before you
Tx:18.2  One would unite; the other separate. Nothing can come between what  God has joined and what the Holy Spirit sees as one. But everything
Tx:18.4 You who believe that  God is fear made but one substitution. It has taken many forms
Tx:18.8  the stately calm within, where in holy stillness dwells the living  God you never left and Who never left you. The Holy Spirit takes you
Tx:18.9  only the truth about each other can abide. Here you are joined in  God, as much together as you are with Him. The original error has not
Tx:18.10 You are so firmly joined in truth that only  God is there. And He would never accept something else instead of
Tx:18.10  cannot remain to darken the holy place in which you stand together.  God is with you, my brothers. Let us join in Him in peace and
Tx:18.11  and love has shined upon you, blessing your relationship with truth.  God and His whole creation have entered it together. How lovely and
Tx:18.11  beholds it and rejoices that you have let it come to you. [And  God Himself is glad that your relationship is as it was created.] The
Tx:18.12 Whom  God has called should hear no substitutes. Their call is but an echo
Tx:18.13  Accept it here, and you will give as you have accepted. The peace of  God is given you with the glowing purpose in which you join. The holy
Tx:18.23  so do the real world and the truth of Heaven join in the Will of  God. The dream of waking is easily transferred to its reality. For
Tx:18.23  reality. For this dream comes from your will joined with the Will of  God. And what this will would have accomplished has never not been
Tx:18.24  truth forever in complete insanity. What you forgot was simply that  God cannot destroy Himself. The light is in you. Darkness can cover
Tx:18.27  only in frightening yourselves. The gift is given forever, for  God Himself received it. You cannot take it back. You have accepted
Tx:18.27  God Himself received it. You cannot take it back. You have accepted  God. The holiness of your relationship is established in Heaven. You
Tx:18.27  wish to understand. That wish was the desire to be holy. The Will of  God is granted you. For you desire the only thing you ever had or
Tx:18.28  walk with you in your advance to truth. And where we go, we carry  God with us.
Tx:18.29  you have joined with me in bringing Heaven to the Son of  God, who hid in darkness. You have been willing to bring the darkness
Tx:18.31  but goes with you. Not one ray that shines forever in the Mind of  God but shines on you. Heaven is joined with you in your advance to
Tx:18.31  joined with you to give the little spark of your desire the power of  God Himself, can you remain in darkness? You are coming home together
Tx:18.31  light will the Great Rays extend back into darkness and forward unto  God to shine away the past and so make room for His eternal Presence,
Tx:18.34  what is this but the determination to be as you would make yourself?  God did not create His dwelling-place unworthy of Him. And if you
Tx:18.35  believe that it is up to you to establish the conditions for peace.  God has established them. They do not wait upon your willingness for
Tx:18.36  more than simple willingness to make way for it. Purification is of  God alone and therefore for you. Rather than seek to prepare yourself
Tx:18.37 I who am host to  God am worthy of Him. He Who established His dwelling-place in me
Tx:18.40  for you impossible. What you believe to be impossible will be if  God so wills it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. If you
Tx:18.40  in orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this. Everything  God wills is not only possible but has already happened. And that is
Tx:18.43  prepare yourselves for such a function? Yet it is possible because  God wills it. Nor will He change His Mind about it. The means and
Tx:18.49  that] realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is restored to you. For  God created only this, and He did not depart from it nor leave it
Tx:18.49  Himself. The Kingdom of Heaven is the dwelling-place of the Son of  God, who left not his Father and dwells not apart from Him. Heaven is
Tx:18.50 What could  God give but knowledge of Himself? What else is there to give? The
Tx:18.52  not condemn it and can use it lovingly, respecting what the Son of  God has made and using it to save him from illusions.
Tx:18.53  what cannot destroy can have no real effect at all. And what  God created is only what He would have it be, being His Will. You
Tx:18.54  no meaning, proclaiming it to be the dwelling-place of the Son of  God and turning it against him.
Tx:18.55 This is the host of  God that you have made. And neither God nor His most holy Son can
Tx:18.55 This is the host of God that you have made. And neither  God nor His most holy Son can enter an abode which harbors hate and
Tx:18.57  [and them from you]. It is not there. There is no barrier between  God and His Son, nor can His Son be separated from himself except in
Tx:18.57  not his reality, though he believes it is. Yet this could only be if  God were wrong. God would have had to create differently and to have
Tx:18.57  though he believes it is. Yet this could only be if God were wrong.  God would have had to create differently and to have separated
Tx:18.57  And so it is. You cannot put a barrier around yourself because  God placed none between Himself and you.
Tx:18.58  your shared Identity together. Could this be outside you? Where  God is not? Is He a body, and did He create you as He is not and
Tx:18.71  with externals, something outside itself. You cannot even think of  God without a body or some form you think you recognize.
Tx:18.72  its tiny senses, you will not see the grandeur which surrounds you.  God cannot come into a body, nor can you join Him there. Limits on
Tx:18.72  from the whole, proclaiming that within it is your kingdom, where  God can enter not.
Tx:18.79 The Thought of  God surrounds your little kingdom, waiting at the barrier you built
Tx:18.81  into Heaven. No part of love calls on the whole in vain. No Son of  God remains outside His Fatherhood.
Tx:18.82  not be able to give love welcome separately. You could no more know  God alone than He knows you without your brother. But together you
Tx:18.84  needs help because in its delusions it thinks it is the Son of  God, whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set apart to
Tx:18.85  by hate. Within its barricades is still a tiny segment of the Son of  God, complete and holy, serene and unaware of what you think
Tx:18.87  quite unaware of it; its tongue cannot relay its messages. Yet  God can bring you there if you are willing to follow the Holy Spirit
Tx:18.93  you had laid upon it. Here there is no attack upon the Son of  God, and you are welcome. Here is your innocence, waiting to clothe
Tx:18.94  is the messenger of love and not its Source. Here you are led that  God Himself can take the final step unhindered, for here does nothing
Tx:18.95  will go beyond it but in a different way. Where learning ends there  God begins, for learning ends before Him Who is complete where He
Tx:18.98 And when the memory of  God has come to you in the holy place of forgiveness, you will
Tx:19.2  properly perceived becomes an opportunity to heal the Son of  God. And he is healed because you offered faith to him, giving him to
Tx:19.5  heal.] Faithlessness would interpose illusions between the Son of  God and his Creator; faith would remove all obstacles that seem to
Tx:19.7 Here then is healing needed. And it is here that healing is. For  God gave healing not apart from sickness, nor established remedy
Tx:19.12 Faith is the gift of  God, through Him Whom God has given you. Faithlessness looks upon the
Tx:19.12 Faith is the gift of God, through Him Whom  God has given you. Faithlessness looks upon the Son of God and judges
Tx:19.12  Him Whom God has given you. Faithlessness looks upon the Son of  God and judges him unworthy of forgiveness. But through the eyes of
Tx:19.12  unworthy of forgiveness. But through the eyes of faith, the Son of  God is seen already forgiven, free of all the guilt he laid upon
Tx:19.12  sign you share it with Him. Faith is a gift you offer to the Son of  God through Him, and wholly acceptable to his Father as to him. And
Tx:19.14 In the holy instant, you stand before the altar  God has raised unto Himself and both of you. Lay faithlessness aside
Tx:19.16  time. For what you think you do to the eternal you do to you. Whom  God created as His Son is slave to nothing, being lord of all along
Tx:19.18  that attack is real and guilt is justified. It assumes the Son of  God is guilty and has thus succeeded in losing his innocence and
Tx:19.18  has thus succeeded in losing his innocence and making himself what  God created not. Thus is creation seen as not eternal, and the Will
Tx:19.18  created not. Thus is creation seen as not eternal, and the Will of  God open to opposition and defeat. Sin is the “grand illusion”
Tx:19.18  “grand illusion” underlying all the ego's grandiosity. For by it,  God Himself is changed and rendered incomplete.
Tx:19.19 The Son of  God can be mistaken; he can deceive himself; he can even turn the
Tx:19.20  And it is this doctrine which replaces the reality of the Son of  God as his Father created him and willed that he be forever. Is this
Tx:19.22  have is found in this. For sin has changed creation from an idea of  God to an ideal the ego wants; a world it rules, made up of bodies,
Tx:19.23  idea that sin is real—the natural expression of what the Son of  God has made himself to be and what he is. To the ego, this is no
Tx:19.23  Father and changed His Mind completely. Mourn, then, the death of  God, Whom sin has killed! And this would be the ego's wish, which in
Tx:19.27  punish sin. Mistakes He recognizes and would correct them all as  God entrusted Him to do. But sin He knows not, nor can He recognize
Tx:19.28  and thus unanswered? In time the Holy Spirit clearly sees the Son of  God can make mistakes. On this you share His vision. Yet you do not
Tx:19.31  to believe that sin is real, remember this: If sin is real, both  God and you are not. If creation is extension, the Creator must have
Tx:19.31  that what is part of Him is totally unlike the rest. If sin is real,  God must be at war with Himself. He must be split and torn between
Tx:19.32  world in which the proof of separation seems to be everywhere. And  God and His creation seem to be split apart and overthrown. For sin
Tx:19.32  seem to be split apart and overthrown. For sin would prove what  God created holy could not prevail against it nor remain itself
Tx:19.32  itself before the power of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than  God, before which God Himself must bow and offer His creation to its
Tx:19.32  power of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than God, before which  God Himself must bow and offer His creation to its conqueror. Is this
Tx:19.38  to him and he will answer you, recognizing in your call the Call of  God. And you will draw him in and give him rest, as it was given you.
Tx:19.39  here will be accomplished. What need is there for seeing then? When  God has taken the last step Himself, the Holy Spirit will gather all
Tx:19.40  If you would make it homeless, how can it abide within the Son of  God? If it would spread across the whole creation, it must begin with
Tx:19.41  forth. This little wall of hatred would still oppose the Will of  God and keep it limited.
Tx:19.42  unwilling to let it join you wholly. You still oppose the Will of  God, just by a little. And that little is a limit you would place
Tx:19.43  such have you become. Peace could no more depart from you than from  God. Fear not this little obstacle. It cannot contain the Will of
Tx:19.43  God. Fear not this little obstacle. It cannot contain the Will of  God. Peace will flow across it and join you without hindrance.
Tx:19.56  murder. Salvation is looked upon as a way by which the Son of  God was killed instead of you.
Tx:19.65  you would look on me. Forgive me all the sins you think the Son of  God committed. And in the light of your forgiveness, he will remember
Tx:19.79 This is not arrogance. It is the Will of  God. What is impossible to you who chose His Will as yours? What is
Tx:19.79  we call the ego as surely as life is the result of the Thought of  God.
Tx:19.80  and death, in opposition to life and innocence and to the Will of  God Himself. Where can such opposition lie but in the sick minds of
Tx:19.80  to madness and set against the peace of Heaven? One thing is sure— God, Who created neither sin nor death, wills not that you be bound
Tx:19.81  upon it as himself. You who believe you have condemned the Son of  God to this are arrogant. But you who would release him are but
Tx:19.82  result of a tiny mad idea of corruption which can be corrected. For  God has answered this insane idea with His own, an Answer which left
Tx:19.84  the answer to the Answer, the silencer of the Voice that speaks for  God. Yet the retreat to death is not the end of conflict. Only God's
Tx:19.85  the dusty edge of its distorted world, the ego would lay the Son of  God, slain by its orders, proof in his decay that God Himself is
Tx:19.85  lay the Son of God, slain by its orders, proof in his decay that  God Himself is powerless before the ego's might, unable to protect
Tx:19.85  conquer life. And what but insanity could look upon the defeat of  God and think it real?
Tx:19.86  protected by your union, ready to grow into a mighty force for  God, is very near. The infancy of salvation is carefully guarded by
Tx:19.86  is nursed by angels, cherished by the Holy Spirit, and protected by  God Himself. It needs not your protection; it is yours. For it is
Tx:19.87  been given you, even in its infancy, is in full communication with  God and you. In its tiny hands, it holds in perfect safety every
Tx:19.87  by your forgiveness of each other, and see in it the Will of  God. Here is the babe of Bethlehem reborn. And everyone who gives him
Tx:19.90  a final obstacle after which is salvation completed and the Son of  God entirely restored to sanity. For here your world does end.
Tx:19.92  call you out of separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of  God seems quite forgotten; the cleavage of your Self from you—the
Tx:19.92  quite forgotten; the cleavage of your Self from you—the fear of  God, the final step in your dissociation.
Tx:19.93  secret alliance with them, you have agreed never to let the fear of  God be lifted so you could look upon the face of Christ and join Him
Tx:19.98 No one can look upon the fear of  God unterrified unless he has accepted the Atonement and learned
Tx:19.100 To look upon the fear of  God does need some preparation. Only the sane can look on stark
Tx:19.100  complete forgiveness, you still stand unforgiving. You are afraid of  God because you fear each other. Those you do not forgive you fear.
Tx:19.103  it to you? For his redemption, he will give you yours as surely as  God created every living thing and loves it. And he will give it
Tx:19.105  your brother is before you would condemn him. And offer thanks to  God that he is holy and has been given the gift of holiness for you.
Tx:19.106  the gift is given. Look on your brother, and see in him the gift of  God you would receive. It is almost Easter, the time of resurrection.
Tx:19.108  found; not to be seen, but known. And knowing, nothing in the plan  God has established for salvation will be left undone. This is the
Tx:19.108  without which is the journey meaningless. Here is the peace of  God, given to you eternally by Him. Here is the rest and quiet that
Tx:19.108  you owe each other, the debt of gratitude you offer to the Son of  God in thanks for what he is and what his Father created him to be.
Tx:19.110  that it would lift you far beyond the veil and place the Son of  God safely within the sure protection of his Father. Here is the only
Tx:20.2  with palms and ends with lilies, the white and holy sign the Son of  God is innocent. Let no dark sign of crucifixion intervene between
Tx:20.2  life, not death. And we honor the perfect purity of the Son of  God and not his sins. Offer each other the gift of lilies, not the
Tx:20.3  and yet this holy week is the symbol of the whole journey the Son of  God has undertaken. He started with the sign of victory the promise
Tx:20.7  on yourself. Here is your gift to both; your judgment on the Son of  God for what he is. Forget not that it is your savior to whom the
Tx:20.8 I have great need for lilies, for the Son of  God has not forgiven me. And can I offer him forgiveness when he
Tx:20.8  for me that I may be forgiven and you may look upon the Son of  God as whole. But look you first upon the altar in your chosen home
Tx:20.11  see no thorns, no strangers, and no obstacles to peace. The fear of  God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look upon illusions,
Tx:20.11  has become the greatest power for the undoing of illusion that  God Himself could give. For what God gave the Holy Spirit, you have
Tx:20.11  for the undoing of illusion that God Himself could give. For what  God gave the Holy Spirit, you have received. The Son of God looks
Tx:20.11  For what God gave the Holy Spirit, you have received. The Son of  God looks unto you for his release. For you have asked for and been
Tx:20.11  final obstacle and see no thorns nor nails to crucify the Son of  God and crown him king of death. Your chosen home is on the other
Tx:20.12  no fear in love. The song of Easter is the glad refrain the Son of  God was never crucified. Let us lift up our eyes together, not in
Tx:20.14  peace of Easter, in which we join in glad awareness that the Son of  God is risen from the past and has awakened to the present. Now is he
Tx:20.22  it as you see it is not outside you. Seek not to make the Son of  God adjust to his insanity. There is a stranger in him who wandered
Tx:20.23  seeing universe of truth you ask, “How shall I look upon the Son of  God?”
Tx:20.24  How happy did it make you? Did you meet with joy to bless the Son of  God and give him thanks for all the happiness which he held out to
Tx:20.24  held out to you? Did you recognize each other as the eternal gift of  God to you? Did you see the holiness that shone in both of you to
Tx:20.25  you shall this day enter with him to Paradise and know the peace of  God.
Tx:20.27  it fear without? The innocent see safety, and the pure in heart see  God within His Son and look unto the Son to lead them to the Father.
Tx:20.27  be? Each of you now will lead the other to the Father as surely as  God created His Son holy and kept him so. In your brother is the
Tx:20.28  you lose. It is not up to you to give power at all. Power is of  God, given by Him and reawakened by the Holy Spirit, Who knows that
Tx:20.28  illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives everything to  God, Who has already given and received all that is true. The untrue
Tx:20.29  the Holy Spirit interprets it.] It is the reawakening of the laws of  God in minds that have established other laws and given them power to
Tx:20.29  have established other laws and given them power to enforce what  God created not.
Tx:20.30  that you see in him, you see your own. For this you share. What  God has given follows His laws and His alone. Nor is it possible for
Tx:20.31  choose freedom will experience only its results. Their power is of  God, and they will give it only to what God has given to share with
Tx:20.31  results. Their power is of God, and they will give it only to what  God has given to share with them. Nothing but this can touch them,
Tx:20.31  for they see only this, sharing their power according to the Will of  God. And thus their freedom is established and maintained. It is
Tx:20.33  a new world rises in which sin can enter not, and where the Son of  God can enter without fear, and where he rests a while to forget
Tx:20.34  the face of Christ shines on them, and they remember the laws of  God, forgetting all the rest and yearning only to have His laws
Tx:20.35  seems impossible to you. But ask yourself if it is possible that  God would have a plan for your salvation that does not work. Once you
Tx:20.36  It rests on you. And what can be more certain than a Son of  God?
Tx:20.38  relationship, which has the power to hold the unity of the Son of  God together. You give to one another for everyone, and in your gift
Tx:20.43  you exchange this gift for any other? This gift returns the laws of  God to your remembrance. And merely by remembering them, the laws
Tx:20.44  in love and perfect confidence in what He sees. He knows the Son of  God and shares his Father's certainty the universe rests in his
Tx:20.44  as his Father knows him. And yet it is impossible the confidence of  God should be misplaced.
Tx:20.45 The meaning of the Son of  God lies solely in his relationship with his Creator. If it were
Tx:20.45  else. And this is wholly loving and forever. Yet has the Son of  God invented an unholy relationship between him and his Father. His
Tx:20.50  “mystery” of separation perceived in awe and held in reverence. What  God would have not be is here kept “safe” from Him. But what you do
Tx:20.50  you fear within your brother and would not see in him is what makes  God seem fearful to you and kept unknown.
Tx:20.52  that. The instant that the mad idea of making your relationship with  God unholy seemed to be possible, all your relationships were made
Tx:20.54 The holy relationship reflects the true relationship the Son of  God has with his Father in reality. The Holy Spirit rests within it
Tx:20.55  of water and set uncertainly upon oblivion. Here does the Son of  God stop briefly by to offer his devotion to death's idols, and then
Tx:20.57  and it has meaning. It is as like your real relationship with  God as equal things are like unto each other. Idolatry is past and
Tx:20.57  you fear each other a little yet; perhaps a shadow of the fear of  God remains with you. Yet what is that to those who have been given
Tx:20.69  desire to see his sinlessness, as it is yours. And bless the Son of  God in your relationship, nor see in him what you have made of him.
Tx:20.70 The Holy Spirit guarantees that what  God willed and gave you shall be yours. This is your purpose now, and
Tx:20.77  Think but an instant just on this—you can behold the holiness  God gave His Son. And never need you think that there is something
Tx:21.2  See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the Son of  God. If you behold disaster and catastrophe, you tried to crucify
Tx:21.2  to crucify him. If you see holiness and hope, you joined the Will of  God to set him free. There is no choice that lies between these two
Tx:21.11 This is the vision of the Son of  God, whom you know well. Here is the sight of him who knows his
Tx:21.11  ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of love] the Son of  God sings to his Father still.
Tx:21.12  of this song. And they will look upon the vision of the Son of  God, remembering who he is they sing of. What is a miracle but this
Tx:21.17 It is impossible the Son of  God be merely driven by events outside of him. It is impossible that
Tx:21.17  accident. No accident nor chance is possible within the universe as  God created it, outside of which is nothing. Suffer, and you decided
Tx:21.17  happy, and you gave the power of decision to Him Who must decide for  God for you. This is the little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit,
Tx:21.20  an idea that it is possible that things should happen to the Son of  God without his will and thus without the Will of his Creator, Whose
Tx:21.21  must forever be. This is the statement that he has the power to make  God powerless and so to take it for himself and leave himself without
Tx:21.21  and so to take it for himself and leave himself without what  God has willed for him. This is the mad idea you have enshrined upon
Tx:21.31  indeed a little feat for such a power. For faith can keep the Son of  God in chains as long as he believes he is in chains. And when he is
Tx:21.33 It is impossible that the Son of  God lack faith, but he can choose where he would have it be.
Tx:21.33  given to illusions does not lack power, for by it does the Son of  God believe that he is powerless. Thus is he faithless to himself,
Tx:21.42  not to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light on sin, and  God will strike you blind. This you believe, and so you do not look.
Tx:21.49  than what you would prefer to overlook. The still small Voice for  God is not drowned out by all the ego's raucous screams and senseless
Tx:21.53  your will and your consent. It must have been accepted by the Son of  God, for what God wills for him he must receive. For God wills not
Tx:21.53  your consent. It must have been accepted by the Son of God, for what  God wills for him he must receive. For God wills not apart from him,
Tx:21.53  by the Son of God, for what God wills for him he must receive. For  God wills not apart from him, nor does the Will of God wait upon time
Tx:21.53  must receive. For God wills not apart from him, nor does the Will of  God wait upon time to be accomplished. Therefore, what joined the
Tx:21.53  upon time to be accomplished. Therefore, what joined the Will of  God must be in you now, being eternal. You must have set aside a
Tx:21.54  unaware of what is so, for this must have an answer if the plan of  God for your salvation is complete. And it must be complete because
Tx:21.61 No one can think but for himself, as  God thinks not without His Son. Only were both in bodies could this
Tx:21.64 If you choose sin instead of healing, you would condemn the Son of  God to what can never be corrected. You tell him by your choice that
Tx:21.65  you and seeks not to frighten you. The power to heal the Son of  God is given you because he must be one with you. You are responsible
Tx:21.68 The Son of  God is always blessed as one. And as his gratitude goes out to you
Tx:21.69 The power that you have over the Son of  God is not a threat to his reality. It but attests to it. Where could
Tx:21.69  already? And who could bind him but himself if he deny his freedom?  God is not mocked; no more His Son can be imprisoned save by his own
Tx:21.70  they are little could see attraction there. Treachery to the Son of  God is the defense of those who do not identify with him. And you are
Tx:21.71 No one believes the Son of  God is powerless. And those who see themselves as helpless must
Tx:21.71  see themselves as helpless must believe that they are not the Son of  God. What can they be except his enemy? And what can they do but envy
Tx:21.71  afraid, alone and not communicating, fearful the power of the Son of  God will strike them dead and raising up their helplessness against
Tx:21.87 —no change of any kind. It is unshakable as is the love of  God for His creation. Sure in its vision as its Creator is in what He
Tx:21.88  ask because desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one whom  God Himself will never fail to answer. God has already given him all
Tx:21.88  for, and made by one whom God Himself will never fail to answer.  God has already given him all that he really wants. Yet what he is
Tx:21.88  given him all that he really wants. Yet what he is uncertain of,  God cannot give. For he does not desire it while he remains
Tx:22.1 Take pity on yourselves, so long enslaved. Rejoice whom  God hath joined have come together and need no longer look on sin
Tx:22.4  apparent. Here is the golden circle where you recognize the Son of  God. For what is born into a holy relationship can never end.
Tx:22.5 Let reason take another step. If you attack whom  God would heal and hate the one He loves, then you and your Creator
Tx:22.7  would tell you it cannot be true because you do not understand it.  God has no secrets. He does not lead you through a world of misery,
Tx:22.13 Be certain  God did not entrust His Son to the unworthy. Nothing but what is part
Tx:22.15  for you, and yours with His. And who is drawn to Christ is drawn to  God as surely as both are drawn to every holy relationship, the home
Tx:22.24  we have seen many times before. Only if it were possible the Son of  God could leave his Father's Mind, make himself different, and oppose
Tx:22.26  recognize him. Yet it is possible to recognize him for what he is if  God would have it so. What God has given to your holy relationship is
Tx:22.26  to recognize him for what he is if God would have it so. What  God has given to your holy relationship is there. For what He gave
Tx:22.26  you gave him for the one he has in truth? Receive of him what  God has given him for you, not what you tried to give yourself.
Tx:22.27  circle that extends forever is your holy relationship, beloved of  God Himself. How still it rests, in time and yet beyond, immortal yet
Tx:22.28  you to remain in misery? Heaven is the home of perfect purity, and  God created it for you. Look on your holy brother, sinless as
Tx:22.43 To all who share the love of  God, the grace is given to be the givers of what they have received.
Tx:22.47  are nothing. In truth you stand together with nothing in between.  God holds your hands, and what can separate whom He has joined as one
Tx:22.47  would defend against. Yet it remains impossible to keep love out.  God rests with you in quiet, undefended and wholly undefending, for
Tx:22.48  one? Which is the stronger? Is it this tiny mouse or everything that  God created? You are not joined together by this mouse but by the
Tx:22.48  You are not joined together by this mouse but by the Will of  God. And can a mouse betray whom God has joined?
Tx:22.48  by this mouse but by the Will of God. And can a mouse betray whom  God has joined?
Tx:22.53  think how He can change the role of means and end so easily in what  God loves and would have free forever. But be you rather grateful
Tx:22.57  a mistake—a shadow through which you walk completely undismayed?  God would let nothing interfere with those whose wills are His[. And
Tx:22.59  it nor limit it in any way. He will join to it all the power that  God has given Him to make each little gift of love a source of
Tx:22.60  that would deny the power of your will. Think you the Will of  God is powerless? Is this humility? You do not see what this belief
Tx:22.60  for here lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to keep the fear of  God in place, unmovable and solid as a rock. While this remains, so
Tx:22.61 Who can attack the Son of  God and not attack his Father? How can God's Son be weak and frail
Tx:22.62 If you were one with  God and recognized this oneness, you would know His power is yours.
Tx:23.1  the belief in weakness, and what is weak is not the Will of  God. Being opposed to it, it is its “enemy.” And God is feared as an
Tx:23.1  is not the Will of God. Being opposed to it, it is its “enemy.” And  God is feared as an opposing will.
Tx:23.7 The memory of  God comes to the quiet mind. It cannot come where there is conflict,
Tx:23.7  you identify with it? Surely you realize the ego is at war with  God. Certain it is it has no enemy. Yet just as certain is its fixed
Tx:23.8 Do you not realize a war against yourself would be a war on  God? Is victory conceivable? And if it were, is this a victory that
Tx:23.8  And if it were, is this a victory that you would want? The death of  God, if it were possible, would be your death. Is this a victory? The
Tx:23.8  to defeat because it thinks that triumph over you is possible. And  God thinks otherwise. This is no war—only the mad belief the Will
Tx:23.8  thinks otherwise. This is no war—only the mad belief the Will of  God can be attacked and overthrown. You may identify with this
Tx:23.9 Be certain that it is impossible  God and the ego, or yourself and it, will ever meet. You seem to meet
Tx:23.10  before your sight into the giver of your peace. Your “enemy” was  God Himself, to Whom all conflict, triumph, and attack of any kind
Tx:23.10  He loves you perfectly, completely, and eternally. The Son of  God at war with his Creator is a condition as ridiculous as nature
Tx:23.11  apart. The war against yourself was undertaken to teach the Son of  God that he is not himself and not his Father's Son. For this, the
Tx:23.13 What you remember is a part of you. For you must be as  God created you. Truth does not fight against illusions, nor do
Tx:23.13  radiant, apart from conflict, untouched and quiet in the peace of  God.
Tx:23.14  with each other. And this occurs whenever you look on anything that  God created with anything but love. Conflict is fearful, for it is
Tx:23.14  madness be undone for you and turn in peace to the remembrance of  God, still shining in your quiet mind.
Tx:23.16  let forgiveness sweep away all trace of the belief in sin that keeps  God homeless and His Son with Him. You are not strangers in the house
Tx:23.16  homeless and His Son with Him. You are not strangers in the house of  God. Welcome your brother to the home where God has set him in
Tx:23.16  in the house of God. Welcome your brother to the home where  God has set him in serenity and peace and dwells with him. Illusions
Tx:23.17 How can the resting-place of  God turn on itself and seek to overcome the One Who dwells there? And
Tx:23.17  the One Who dwells there? And think what happens when the house of  God perceives itself divided. The altar disappears, the light grows
Tx:23.18  be; where either goes the other disappears. So is the memory of  God obscured in minds that have become illusion's battleground. Yet
Tx:23.22  is thus interpreted as an irrevocable sentence upon himself, which  God Himself is powerless to overcome. Sin cannot be remitted, being
Tx:23.22  to overcome. Sin cannot be remitted, being the belief the Son of  God can make mistakes for which his own destruction becomes
Tx:23.23  join. One becomes weak, the other strong by his defeat. And fear of  God and of each other now appears as sensible, made real by what the
Tx:23.23  of each other now appears as sensible, made real by what the Son of  God has done both to himself and his Creator. The arrogance on which
Tx:23.24  third preposterous belief that seems to make chaos eternal. For if  God cannot be mistaken, then He must accept his Son's belief in what
Tx:23.25 See how the fear of  God is reinforced by this third principle. Now it becomes impossible
Tx:23.25  attack. And now is conflict made inevitable and beyond the help of  God. And now salvation must remain impossible because the savior has
Tx:23.26  thus becomes a myth, and vengeance, not forgiveness, is the Will of  God. From where all this begins, there is no sight of help that can
Tx:23.26  of help that can succeed. Only destruction can be the outcome. And  God Himself seems to be siding with it to overcome His Son. Think not
Tx:23.31  your brother cease his attack on you for what you stole. Nor will  God end His vengeance upon both, for in His madness He must have this
Tx:23.32  the laws of chaos serve. These are the means by which the laws of  God appear to be reversed. Here do the laws of sin appear to hold
Tx:23.33  Give thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who saved the Son of  God for fear and death!
Tx:23.37 There is no life outside of Heaven. Where  God created life, there life must be. In any state apart from Heaven,
Tx:23.42  charitable it may seem to be, a blessing and a sign the Voice for  God speaks through you to your brother? The wrapping does not make
Tx:23.47 The fear of  God is fear of life and not of death. Yet He remains the only place
Tx:23.49  God does not share His function with a body. He gave the function to
Tx:23.50 The lovely light of your relationship is like the love of  God. It cannot yet assume the holy function God gave His Son, for
Tx:23.50  is like the love of God. It cannot yet assume the holy function  God gave His Son, for your forgiveness of one another is not complete
Tx:23.52  place on high but quickly choose a miracle instead of murder. And  God Himself and all the lights of Heaven will gently lean to you and
Tx:23.52  where He would have you, and no illusion can attack the peace of  God together with His Son.
Tx:23.55 Those with the strength of  God in their awareness could never think of battle. What could they
Tx:23.55  that offers less, yet could be wanted more? Who with the love of  God upholding him could find the choice of miracles or murder hard to
Tx:24.1  Given this state the mind is quiet, and the condition in which  God is remembered is attained. It is not necessary to tell Him what
Tx:24.1  a shadow can hold back the Will that holds the universe secure?  God does not wait upon illusions to let Him be Himself. No more His
Tx:24.2  and freedom sinlessness. There is no substitute for peace. What  God creates has no alternative. The truth arises from what He knows.
Tx:24.6 What  God created cannot be attacked, for there is nothing in the universe
Tx:24.8  not cut off from one another. What you keep is lost to you.  God gave you both Himself, and to remember this is now the only
Tx:24.10 The fear of  God and of each other comes from each unrecognized belief in
Tx:24.10  For each demands the other bow to it against his will. And  God Himself must honor it or suffer vengeance. Every twinge of malice
Tx:24.11  the truth. For what is specialness but an attack upon the Will of  God? You love your brother not while it is this you would defend
Tx:24.13  goal that would defeat salvation and thus run counter to the Will of  God. To value specialness is to esteem an alien will to which
Tx:24.15  answers? Its tiny answer, soundless in the melody which pours from  God to you eternally in loving praise of what you are, is all you
Tx:24.15  strain your ears to hear its soundless voice, and yet the Call of  God Himself is soundless to you.
Tx:24.16  can defend your specialness, but never will you hear the Voice for  God beside it. They speak a different language and they fall on
Tx:24.17 The shining radiance of the Son of  God—so like his Father that the memory of Him springs instantly to
Tx:24.17  Is it a sacrifice to give up nothing and to receive the love of  God forever?
Tx:24.19  attack you thought you made on him has taken from him the gift that  God would have him give to you. His need to give it is as great as
Tx:24.19  for your forgiveness only that he may return it unto you. It is not  God Who has condemned His Son. But only you, to save his specialness
Tx:24.20  to falter now. Just one step more and every vestige of the fear of  God will melt away in love. Your brother's specialness and yours are
Tx:24.20  illusions which have reached this final obstacle that seems to make  God and His Heaven so remote that they cannot be reached. Here in
Tx:24.21  of himself as part of you, as you for his. You are alike to  God as God is to Himself. He is not special, for He would not keep
Tx:24.21  of himself as part of you, as you for his. You are alike to God as  God is to Himself. He is not special, for He would not keep one part
Tx:24.22 Give him but what he has, remembering  God gave Himself to both of you in equal love that both might share
Tx:24.22  to him and him to you because He gave Himself. What is the same as  God is one with Him. And only specialness could make the truth of God
Tx:24.22  as God is one with Him. And only specialness could make the truth of  God and you as one seem anything but Heaven and the hope of peace at
Tx:24.24 The hope of specialness makes it seem possible  God made the body as the prison-house which keeps His Son from Him.
Tx:24.24  which keeps His Son from Him. For it demands a special place  God cannot enter and a hiding-place where none is welcome but your
Tx:24.24  safe from all intrusions of sanity upon illusions, safe from  God, and safe for conflict everlasting. Here are the gates of hell
Tx:24.24  rule in madness and in loneliness your special kingdom, apart from  God, away from truth and from salvation.
Tx:24.25 The key you threw away  God gave your brother, whose holy hands would offer it to you when
Tx:24.25  from an illusion of what you are to the acceptance of yourself as  God created you.
Tx:24.27  strongly defended with all your puny might against the Will of  God. And thus it stands against yourself; your enemy, not God's. So
Tx:24.27  your enemy, not God's. So does it seem to split you off from  God and make you separate from Him as its defender. You would protect
Tx:24.27  make you separate from Him as its defender. You would protect what  God created not. And yet this idol that seems to give you power has
Tx:24.29 Without foundation nothing is secure. Would  God have left His Son in such a state, where safety has no meaning?
Tx:24.29  more be unforgiving, for that is what it is—a secret vow that what  God wants for you will never be and that you will oppose His Will
Tx:24.30  God asks for your forgiveness. He would have no separation, like an
Tx:24.30  to them and left behind. Salvation challenges not even death. And  God Himself, Who knows that death is not your will, must say, “Thy
Tx:24.32  They hate the call that would awaken them, and they curse  God because He did not make their dream reality. Curse God and die,
Tx:24.32  they curse God because He did not make their dream reality. Curse  God and die, but not by Him Who made not death, but only in the
Tx:24.32  but only in the dream. Open your eyes a little; see the savior  God gave to you that you might look on him and give him back his
Tx:24.33 The slaves of specialness will yet be free. Such is the Will of  God and of His Son. Would God condemn Himself to hell and to
Tx:24.33  will yet be free. Such is the Will of God and of His Son. Would  God condemn Himself to hell and to damnation? And do you will that
Tx:24.33  to damnation? And do you will that this be done unto your savior?  God calls to you from him to join His Will to save you both from
Tx:24.33  of nails upon his hands that he holds out for your forgiveness.  God asks your mercy on His Son and on Himself. Deny them not. They
Tx:24.39 Do not defend this senseless dream in which  God is bereft of what He loves and you remain beyond salvation. Only
Tx:24.39  what you appointed to be your savior and crucified the one whom  God has given you instead. So are you bound with him, for you are
Tx:24.45  leads you there in gentleness and blessing all the way. His love for  God replaces all the fear you thought you saw within yourself. His
Tx:24.45  and loves. And seeks it still, that each might offer you the love of  God.
Tx:24.49  scatter with the wind and turn to dust. In him is your assurance  God is here and with you now. While he is what he is, you can be sure
Tx:24.49  here and with you now. While he is what he is, you can be sure that  God is knowable and will be known to you. For He could never leave
Tx:24.50 Without you there would be a lack in  God, a Heaven incomplete, a Son without a Father. There could be no
Tx:24.50  a Father. There could be no universe and no reality. For what  God wills is whole and part of Him because His Will is One. Nothing
Tx:24.50  is but is alive in Him. Your brother's holiness shows you that  God is one with him and you—that what he has is yours because you
Tx:24.51 Nothing is lost to you in all the universe. Nothing that  God created has He failed to lay before you lovingly as yours
Tx:24.51  conceived of you before the world began and as He knows you still.  God changes not His Mind about His Son with passing circumstance,
Tx:24.53  that is made, not of itself, but through the Voice that speaks for  God in everything that lives and shares His Being.
Tx:24.54  the face of Christ from him, and you as well. And let the fear of  God no longer hold the vision you were meant to see from you. Your
Tx:24.55  is but a body? Where is your peace but in his holiness? And where is  God Himself but in that part of Him He set forever in your brother's
Tx:24.58  see him not as prisoner to them. It cannot be what governs part of  God holds not for all the rest. You place yourself under the laws you
Tx:24.58  the laws you see as ruling him. Think, then, how great the love of  God for you must be that He has given you a part of Him to save from
Tx:24.58  doubt but that your specialness will disappear before the Will of  God, Who loves each part of Him with equal love [and care]. The
Tx:24.60 —with little effort and with little time and with the power of  God maintaining it and promising success. Yet of the two, it is this
Tx:24.60  do you deem this cost too heavy. But a tiny willingness, a nod to  God, a greeting to the Christ in you, you find a burden wearisome and
Tx:24.60  too heavy to be borne. Yet to the dedication to the truth as  God established it no sacrifice is asked, no strain called forth, and
Tx:24.62  who are son to you, that you might share the Fatherhood of  God, not snatch it from Him. What is this son that you have made to
Tx:24.62  takes the place of yours? And where are they, now that the host of  God has found another son which he prefers to them?
Tx:24.63 The memory of  God shines not alone. What is within your brother still contains all
Tx:24.67  the purpose which you serve. Here you are but means, along with it.  God is a Means as well as End. In Heaven, means and end are one, and
Tx:24.72  separates each from all aspects with a different purpose. The Son of  God retains His Father's Will. The son of man perceives an alien will
Tx:25.2  He is. The son of man is not the risen Christ. Yet does the Son of  God abide exactly where he is and walks with him within his holiness,
Tx:25.7 You are the means for  God—not separate nor with a life apart from His. His Life is
Tx:25.9  still is one with both the Father and the Son, He knows the Will of  God and what you really will. But this is understood by mind
Tx:25.16  your brother as a body, it is but this you do. The masterpiece that  God has set within this frame is all there is to see. The body holds
Tx:25.16  body holds it for a while without obscuring it in any way. Yet what  God has created needs no frame, for what He has created He supports
Tx:25.17 The Holy Spirit is the frame  God set around the part of Him that you would see as separate. Yet
Tx:25.17  the picture when you choose to see it in its place. The frame that  God has given it but serves His purpose, not yours apart from His. It
Tx:25.17  that obscures the picture and cherishes the frame instead of it. Yet  God has set His masterpiece within a frame that will endure forever
Tx:25.17  dust. But think you not the picture is destroyed in any way. What  God creates is safe from all corruption, unchanged and perfect in
Tx:25.18  this face was ever darkened because you saw it in a frame of death.  God kept it safe that you might look on it and see the holiness that
Tx:25.19  upon in him. He is the frame in which your holiness is set, and what  God gave him must be given you. However much he overlooks the
Tx:25.20  known to you His love if you but share His praise of what He loves?  God cherishes creation as the perfect Father that He is. And so His
Tx:25.20  happiness complete and theirs along with His. The gratitude of  God Himself is freely offered to everyone who shares His purpose. It
Tx:25.22 You are the same, as  God Himself is one and not divided in His Will. And you must have one
Tx:25.26  maintained without some link that kept it still within the laws of  God; not as the law itself upholds the universe as God created it,
Tx:25.26  the laws of God; not as the law itself upholds the universe as  God created it, but in some form adapted to the need the Son of God
Tx:25.26  as God created it, but in some form adapted to the need the Son of  God believes he has. Corrected error is the error's end. And thus has
Tx:25.26  believes he has. Corrected error is the error's end. And thus has  God protected still His Son, even in error. There is another purpose
Tx:25.31 The Son of  God could never sin, but he can wish for what would hurt him. And he
Tx:25.33  and of joy. Even in Heaven does this law obtain. The Son of  God creates to bring him joy, sharing his Father's purpose in his own
Tx:25.35 Would you not do this for the love of  God? And for yourself? For think what it would do for you. Your
Tx:25.36  and its loveliness for you. What aim can supersede the Will of  God and of His Son that Heaven be restored to him for whom it was
Tx:25.37  to attack is gone, and so there is no reason to perceive the Son of  God as other than he is. The need for guilt is gone because it has no
Tx:25.38 Attack makes Christ your enemy and  God along with Him. Must you not be afraid with “enemies” like these?
Tx:25.38  the wish and leave him innocent? And who would see the Son of  God as innocent and wish him dead? Christ stands before you both each
Tx:25.39  And yet beneath the ego's senseless shrieks, such is the call that  God has given him that you might hear in him His Call to you and
Tx:25.39  you might hear in him His Call to you and answer by returning unto  God what is His own.
Tx:25.40 The Son of  God asks only this of you—that you return to him what is his due
Tx:25.40  him of all the joy he would have found if he fulfilled the role  God gave to him. But think not Heaven is lost to him alone. Nor can
Tx:25.41  will be your joy, when he is free to offer you the gift of sight  God gave to him for you! He has no need but this—that you allow him
Tx:25.41  no need but this—that you allow him freedom to complete the task  God gave to him. Remembering but this—that what he does you do
Tx:25.41  will have for you until you see him differently and let him be what  God appointed that he be to you.
Tx:25.42 Against the hatred that the Son of  God may cherish toward himself is God believed to be without the
Tx:25.42 Against the hatred that the Son of God may cherish toward himself is  God believed to be without the power to save what He created from the
Tx:25.42  created from the pain of hell. But in the love he shows himself is  God made free to let His Will be done. In each of you, you see the
Tx:25.42  of you, you see the picture of your own belief in what the Will of  God must be for you. In your forgiveness will you understand His love
Tx:25.43 The grace of  God rests gently on forgiving eyes, and everything they look on
Tx:25.43  For he would only heal and only bless. And being in accord with what  God wills, he has the power to heal and bless all those he looks on
Tx:25.43  the power to heal and bless all those he looks on with the grace of  God upon his sight.
Tx:25.44  maintain he wants to see? The wish to see calls down the grace of  God upon your eyes and brings the gift of light that makes sight
Tx:25.45 Will you behold your brother?  God is glad to have you look on him. He does not will your savior be
Tx:25.47 Here, where the laws of  God do not prevail in perfect form, can he yet do one perfect thing
Tx:25.48  as he always did. The specialness he chose to hurt himself did  God appoint to be the means for his salvation from the very instant
Tx:25.49  All that you made can serve salvation easily and well. The Son of  God can make no choice the Holy Spirit cannot employ on his behalf
Tx:25.49  you see it as your special function in the plan to save the Son of  God from all attack and let him understand that he is safe, as he has
Tx:25.50  foundation sure as love, dependable as Heaven, and as strong as  God Himself. The world is safe from love to everyone who thinks sin
Tx:25.50  who thinks sin possible. Nor will it change. Yet is it possible what  God created not should share the attributes of His creation when it
Tx:25.51  If you could realize nothing is changeless but the Will of  God, this course would not be difficult for you. For it is this that
Tx:25.52  before and think of it more carefully. It must be so that either  God is mad or is this world a place of madness. Not one Thought of
Tx:25.52  If one belief so deeply valued here were true, then every Thought  God ever had is an illusion. And if but one Thought of His is true,
Tx:25.52  it is not. For only this decision can you make. The rest is up to  God and not to you.
Tx:25.53  the world upholds is to deny your Father's sanity and yours. For  God and His beloved Son do not think differently. And it is the
Tx:25.54  And one in which nothing is contradicted that would lead the Son of  God to sanity and joy. Nothing attests to death and cruelty, to
Tx:25.56 Your special function is the special form in which the fact that  God is not insane appears most sensible and meaningful to you. The
Tx:25.56  place and time and all that you believe must limit you. The Son of  God cannot be bound by time nor place nor anything God did not will.
Tx:25.56  you. The Son of God cannot be bound by time nor place nor anything  God did not will. Yet if His Will is seen as madness, then the form
Tx:25.57  to entrust salvation to the insane. Because He is not mad has  God appointed One as sane as He to raise a saner world to meet the
Tx:25.60 The whole belief that someone loses but reflects the underlying tenet  God must be insane. For in this world, it seems that one must gain
Tx:25.60  that one must gain because another lost. If this were true, then  God is mad indeed! But what is this belief except a form of the more
Tx:25.60  be the total cost of any gain at all. You who believe that  God is mad, look carefully at this and understand that it must be
Tx:25.60  look carefully at this and understand that it must be that either  God or this must be insane, but hardly both.
Tx:25.62  insanity would make you sane and give you what you want. That either  God or you must lose to madness because your aims can not be
Tx:25.62  is not maintained at any cost. No one can suffer for the Will of  God to be fulfilled. Salvation is His Will because you share it. Not
Tx:25.62  you share it. Not for you alone but for the Self which is the Son of  God. He cannot lose, for if he could, the loss would be his Father's,
Tx:25.66  by being paid, it matters not by whom. Can this be justice?  God knows not of this. But justice does He know and knows it well.
Tx:25.68  entail. And so they fear the Holy Spirit and perceive the “wrath” of  God in Him. [They are unjust indeed to Him.] Nor can they trust Him
Tx:25.68  depends on sin's stability. And they perceive the “threat” of what  God knows as justice to be more destructive to themselves and to
Tx:25.72  you. He knows that Heaven is richer made by each one you accept. And  God rejoices as His Son receives what loving justice knows to be his
Tx:25.72  the same does mercy stand at God's right hand and give the Son of  God the power to forgive himself of sin.
Tx:25.73  all the holiness that is in him, however much he recognize it not.  God knows of no injustice. He would not allow His Son be judged by
Tx:25.73  and not against his life? No justice would be given him by you. Yet  God ensured that justice would be done unto the Son He loves and
Tx:25.75  of love and justice if you understand it is impossible the Son of  God could merit vengeance. You need not perceive in every
Tx:25.77  sin, and to the life eternal, joyous and complete in every way, as  God appointed for His holy Son. This is the only justice Heaven
Tx:25.77  love is just and can perceive what justice must accord the Son of  God. Let love decide and never fear that you in your unfairness will
Tx:25.79  as it is given out. Each gift [received] but adds to the supply. For  God is fair. He does not fight against His Son's reluctance to
Tx:25.80  least is seen unfairly. Thus is justice not accorded to the Son of  God. When anyone is seen as losing, he has been condemned. And
Tx:25.82  on justice. Not as it is seen through this world's eyes, but as  God knows it, and as knowledge is reflected in the sight the Holy
Tx:26.4  demands that they be separate and without the other. The memory of  God must be denied if any sacrifice is asked of anyone. What witness
Tx:26.7  life to you, who cannot die because his sinlessness is known to  God and can no more be sacrificed by you than can the light in you be
Tx:26.7  of life and make your eyes and ears bear witness to the death of  God and of His holy Son, think not that you have power to make of
Tx:26.7  of His holy Son, think not that you have power to make of them what  God willed not they be. In Heaven God's Son is not imprisoned in a
Tx:26.9  is the Holy Spirit's special function but to release the holy Son of  God from the imprisonment he made to keep himself from justice? Could
Tx:26.11  and could result in gain for anyone. If this were true, then  God would be unfair, sin would be possible, attack be justified, and
Tx:26.12  the rest. Think not the limits you impose on what you see can limit  God in any way.
Tx:26.13  errors. Every problem is an error. It does injustice to the Son of  God and therefore is not true. The Holy Spirit does not evaluate
Tx:26.13  have no properties to Him. They are mistakes from which the Son of  God is suffering, but needlessly. And so He takes the thorns and
Tx:26.14  is total. There is no such thing as partial justice. If the Son of  God is guilty, then is he condemned, and he deserves no mercy from
Tx:26.14  is guilty, then is he condemned, and he deserves no mercy from the  God of justice. But ask not God to punish him because you find him
Tx:26.14  and he deserves no mercy from the God of justice. But ask not  God to punish him because you find him guilty and would have him die.
Tx:26.14  to punish him because you find him guilty and would have him die.  God offers you the means to see his innocence. Would it be fair to
Tx:26.15 If  God is just, then can there be no problems that justice cannot solve.
Tx:26.16  universal blessing. Sacrifice is gone. And in its place the love of  God can be remembered and will shine away all memory of sacrifice and
Tx:26.17  God cannot be remembered until justice is loved instead of feared. He
Tx:26.18 Complexity is not of  God. How could it be, when all He knows is one? He knows of one
Tx:26.21 Nothing the Son of  God believes can be destroyed. But what is truth to him must be
Tx:26.28  no little miracles to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of  God Himself comes to receive each gift that brings him nearer to his
Tx:26.29  be the joy in Heaven when you join the mighty chorus to the love of  God!
Tx:26.32  God gave His Teacher to replace the one you made, not to conflict
Tx:26.32  that tiny instant time was gone, for that was all it ever was. What  God gave Answer to is answered and is gone.
Tx:26.34  disappeared too quickly to affect the simple knowledge of the Son of  God can hardly still be there for you to choose to be your teacher.
Tx:26.37  want that fearful instant kept, when Heaven seemed to disappear and  God was feared and made a symbol of your hate?
Tx:26.38  been so long ago corrected and undone. Can sin withstand the Will of  God? Can it be up to you to see the past and put it in the present?
Tx:26.39 Would  God allow His Son to lose his way along a road long since a memory of
Tx:26.40 The Son that  God created is as free as God created him. He was reborn the instant
Tx:26.40 The Son that God created is as free as  God created him. He was reborn the instant that he chose to die
Tx:26.40  you not forgive him now because he made an error in the past that  God remembers not and is not there? Now you are shifting back and
Tx:26.41  This terrible illusion was denied in but the time it took for  God to give His answer to illusion for all time and every
Tx:26.43  that lies at Heaven's gate. There is no hindrance to the Will of  God nor any need that you repeat again a journey that was over long
Tx:26.45  worthy of God's Son, nor one with which he could remain content. Yet  God has given him a better Friend in Whom all power in earth and
Tx:26.45  not another friend to take His place. There is no other friend. What  God appointed has no substitute, for what illusion can replace the
Tx:26.46  with shadows is alone indeed, and loneliness is not the Will of  God. Would you allow one shadow to usurp the throne that God
Tx:26.46  the Will of God. Would you allow one shadow to usurp the throne that  God appointed for your Friend if you but realized its emptiness has
Tx:26.46  friend, for if you do, it can but take the place of Him whom  God has called your Friend. And it is He who is your only Friend in
Tx:26.48  but in the world of shadows and illusions built on sin. The Son of  God perceives what he would see, because perception is a wish
Tx:26.49  of knowledge is not true of anything that is apart from it. Yet has  God given answer to the world of sickness which applies to all its
Tx:26.49  though it operates in time where it is needed. Yet because it is of  God, the laws of time do not affect its workings. It is in this
Tx:26.51  one is true in any way, and all must yield with equal ease to what  God gave as answer to them all. God's Will is One. And any wish that
Tx:26.52  all creation be subjected to the laws of two opposing powers until  God becomes impatient, splits the world apart, and relegates attack
Tx:26.56  is no sin. And every miracle is possible the instant that the Son of  God perceives his wishes and the Will of God are one.
Tx:26.56  the instant that the Son of God perceives his wishes and the Will of  God are one.
Tx:26.57 What is the Will of  God? He wills His Son have everything. And this He guaranteed when He
Tx:26.57  the miracle by which creation became your function, sharing it with  God. It is not understood apart from Him and therefore has no meaning
Tx:26.58 Here does the Son of  God ask not too much but far too little. He would sacrifice his own
Tx:26.60 Cause and effect are one, not separate.  God wills you learn what always has been true—that He created you
Tx:26.60  For never will success be possible in trying to deceive the Son of  God.
Tx:26.62  their purpose, they derive whatever meaning that they seem to have.  God gave to all illusions that were made another purpose that would
Tx:26.62  whatever form they took. In every miracle all healing lies, for  God gave answer to them all as one. And what is one to Him must be
Tx:26.62  what is the same is different, you but deceive yourself. What  God calls one will be forever one, not separate. His Kingdom is
Tx:26.63  calls for his release and yours. Heaven is shining on the Son of  God. Deny him not, that you may be released. Each instant is the Son
Tx:26.63  Deny him not, that you may be released. Each instant is the Son of  God reborn, until he chooses not to die again. In every wish to hurt,
Tx:26.64  name of love. To you to whom it has been given to save the Son of  God from crucifixion and from hell and death, all glory be forever.
Tx:26.64  death, all glory be forever. For you have power to save the Son of  God because his Father willed that it be so. And in your hands does
Tx:26.65 To use the power  God has given you as He would have it used is natural. It is not
Tx:26.65  choose a little senseless wish instead of what He wills. The gift of  God to you is limitless. There is no circumstance it cannot answer
Tx:26.66 Abide in peace, where  God would have you be, and be the means whereby your brother finds
Tx:26.66  one of us can save us all. There is no difference among the Sons of  God. The unity that specialness denies will save them all, for what
Tx:26.67  to everyone, as theirs to you. Call on your brother's name and  God will answer, for on Him you call. Could He refuse to answer when
Tx:26.67  And by this little gift of truth but let to be itself—the Son of  God allowed to be himself and all creation freed to call upon the
Tx:26.67  to be himself and all creation freed to call upon the Name of  God as one.
Tx:26.73  You have been told that everything brings good that comes from  God. And yet it seems as if this is not so. Good in disaster's form
Tx:26.77 Think but how holy you must be from whom the Voice for  God calls lovingly unto your brother, that you may awake in him the
Tx:26.77  with his freedom joined! However much you wish he be condemned,  God is in him. And never will you know He is in you as well, while
Tx:26.78  your brother and yourself obscures the face of Christ and memory of  God. And would you trade Them for an ancient hate? The ground whereon
Tx:26.84 Now is the temple of the Living  God rebuilt as host again to Him by Whom it was created. Where He
Tx:26.84  replace an ancient enmity that came to kill. In gentle gratitude do  God the Father and the Son return to what is Theirs and will forever
Tx:26.86  your own and equally belongs to every living thing along with you.  God limits not. And what is limited can not be Heaven. So it must be
Tx:26.87  it is you who ask this of yourself in deep injustice to the Son of  God. You have no enemy except yourself, and you are enemy indeed to
Tx:26.88  to get? Is it not retribution for your own attack upon the Son of  God you seek? Is it not safer to believe that you are innocent of
Tx:27.32  enhance the invitation's real appeal. For what you leave as vacant,  God will fill, and where He is, there must the truth abide.
Tx:27.34  it represents remains unknown but is not canceled out. And thus is  God left free to take the final step Himself. [For this you need no
Tx:27.36  answer anything at all, for conflict has no limited effects. Yet if  God gave an answer, there must be a way in which your problems are
Tx:27.37  be that in your state of mind solution is impossible. Therefore,  God must have given you a way of reaching to another state of mind in
Tx:27.53  cannot be understood by merely counting up its separate parts.  God thanks you for your healing, for He knows it is a gift of love
Tx:27.56  And otherwise he lies, if you should call him by the holy Name of  God Himself.
Tx:27.57  what you believe it holds within. Nor could it tell a part of  God Himself what it should feel and what its function is. Yet must He
Tx:27.60  as powerless. The purpose of a miracle is to accomplish this. And  God Himself has guaranteed the strength of miracles for what they
Tx:27.73  his suffering was healed and where his brother was his friend.]  God willed he waken gently and with joy. And gave him means to waken
Tx:27.82  where all is one, there crept a tiny mad idea at which the Son of  God remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought become
Tx:27.83 A timelessness in which is time made real; a part of  God which can attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy; a mind
Tx:27.85  you come in tears, but hear Him say, “My brother, Holy Son of  God, behold your idle dream in which this could occur,” and you will
Tx:28.2  like perception, is a skill made up by you to take the place of what  God gave in your creation. And like all the things you made, it can
Tx:28.4 The Holy Spirit can indeed make use of memory, for  God Himself is there. Yet this is not a memory of past events, but
Tx:28.10  His Will. What your remembering would witness to is but the fear of  God. He has not done the thing you fear. No more have you. And so
Tx:28.11  minds and bringing them an instant's stillness when the memory of  God returns to them. Their own remembering is quiet now, and what has
Tx:28.12  is His memory allowed to offer all its treasures to the Son of  God, for whom they have been kept. How gladly does He offer them unto
Tx:28.12  enter where They would abide. For in that instant does the Son of  God do nothing that would make himself afraid.
Tx:28.13 How instantly the memory of  God arises in the mind that has no fear to keep the memory away. Its
Tx:28.13  and undone. The stillness speaks in gentle sounds of love the Son of  God remembers from before his own remembering came in between the
Tx:28.14 Now is the Son of  God at last aware of present Cause and Its benign effects. Now does
Tx:28.15  to see the causeless not? And where is sacrifice, when memory of  God has come to take the place of loss? What better way to close the
Tx:28.15  little gap between illusions and reality than to allow the memory of  God to flow across it, making it a bridge an instant will suffice to
Tx:28.15  it, making it a bridge an instant will suffice to reach beyond? For  God has closed it with Himself. His memory has not gone by and left a
Tx:28.16  because he is God's Son that he must also be a father who creates as  God created him. The circle of creation has no end. Its starting and
Tx:28.18 Always in sickness does the Son of  God attempt to make himself his cause and not allow himself to be his
Tx:28.30  kept carefully protected, cherished, and upheld by firm belief, lest  God should come to bridge the little gap that leads to Him. Fight not
Tx:28.33  God builds the bridge, but only in the space left clean and vacant by
Tx:28.34  are you who live within the world except a picture of the Son of  God in broken pieces, each concealed within a separate and uncertain
Tx:28.44  Holy Spirit's function is to take the broken picture of the Son of  God and put the pieces into place again. This holy picture, healed
Tx:28.45  For the whole is in each one. And every aspect of the Son of  God is just the same as every other part.
Tx:28.46  sickness when he has received the simple happiness of health? What  God has given cannot be a loss, and what is not of Him has no
Tx:28.47  is sickness separating off the self from good and keeping evil in.  God is the alternate to dreams of fear. Who shares in them can never
Tx:28.47  Except you share it, nothing can exist. And you exist because  God shared His Will with you, that His creation might create.
Tx:28.51 What is there  God created to be sick? And what that He created not can be? Let not
Tx:28.59  that you make with him because it is the one which he has made to  God, as God has made to him. God keeps His promises; His Son keeps
Tx:28.59  you make with him because it is the one which he has made to God, as  God has made to him. God keeps His promises; His Son keeps his. In
Tx:28.59  it is the one which he has made to God, as God has made to him.  God keeps His promises; His Son keeps his. In his creation did his
Tx:28.59  that he replied “I will,” though in that promise he was born. Yet  God reminds him of it every time he does not share a promise to be
Tx:28.59  healed and unified. His secret vows are powerless before the Will of  God, Whose promises he shares. And what he substitutes is not his
Tx:28.59  he substitutes is not his will, who has made promise of himself to  God.
Tx:28.60  God asks for nothing, and His Son, like Him, need ask for nothing.
Tx:28.60  there that he could want for something he has not. A space where  God is not, a gap between the Father and the Son is not the will of
Tx:28.61  have with all your brothers is a part of you because it is a part of  God Himself. Are you not sick if you deny yourself your wholeness and
Tx:28.62  not your home but merely as an aid to help you reach the home where  God abides.
Tx:29.1 There is no time, no place, no state where  God is absent. There is nothing to be feared. There is no way in
Tx:29.2 Here is the fear of  God most plainly seen. For love is treacherous to those who fear,
Tx:29.2  who hates but is afraid of love and therefore must he be afraid of  God. Certain it is he knows not what love means. He fears to love and
Tx:29.3 The fear of  God! The greatest obstacle that peace must flow across has not yet
Tx:29.9  Nothing more than that, and nothing less. Without the fear of  God, what could induce you to abandon Him? What toys or trinkets in
Tx:29.9  calling, were you not afraid to find a loss of self in finding  God? Yet can your Self be lost by being found?
Tx:29.10  without a sacrifice or any loss, to find yourself in Heaven and in  God? Until you realize you give up nothing, until you understand
Tx:29.12  of hatred and attack. No more is pain your friend and guilt your  god, and you should welcome the effects of love.
Tx:29.15 Such is the promise of the living  God—His Son have life and every living thing be part of him, and
Tx:29.17  it be more than this lies the idea of sickness. For it asks that  God be less than all He really is. What, then, becomes of you, for it
Tx:29.17  lessened by the loss of you. And what is gone from Him becomes your  god, protecting you from being part of Him.
Tx:29.18 The body that is asked to be a  god will be attacked because its nothingness has not been recognized.
Tx:29.19  does he dwell in what was built as temple unto death. He lives in  God, and it is this that makes him savior unto you, and only this.
Tx:29.20  he has, for giving is the proof of having. Only those who think that  God is lessened by their strength could fail to understand this must
Tx:29.21  than just a tiny spark, a space of light created in the dark, where  God still shines.
Tx:29.22  your dreams. And as you see him shining in the space of light where  God abides within the darkness, you will see that God Himself is
Tx:29.22  of light where God abides within the darkness, you will see that  God Himself is where his body is. Before this light the body
Tx:29.24 How holy are you, that the Son of  God can be your savior in the midst of dreams of desolation and
Tx:29.31  place so still no sound except a hymn to Heaven rises up to gladden  God the Father and the Son. Where both abide are They remembered
Tx:29.32  the might of its Creator; nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of  God within. Here is the role the Holy Spirit gives to you who wait
Tx:29.32  is the role the Holy Spirit gives to you who wait upon the Son of  God and would behold him waken and be glad. He is a part of you, and
Tx:29.33 This sacred Son of  God is like yourself—the mirror of his Father's love for you, the
Tx:29.35  be. For you would understand how great the cost of holding anything  God did not give in minds that can direct the hand to bless and lead
Tx:29.35  want to be a friend to him, created by his Father as His home? If  God esteems him worthy of Himself, would you attack him with the
Tx:29.39 Swear not to die, you holy Son of  God! You make a bargain that you cannot keep. The Son of Life cannot
Tx:29.40  your mind and see another purpose there. Change is the greatest gift  God gave to all that you would make eternal, to ensure that only
Tx:29.41  to die. You cannot change, because your function has been fixed by  God. All other goals are set in time and change that time might be
Tx:29.41  And where it once held seeming sway is now restored the function  God established for His Son in full awareness. Time can set no end to
Tx:29.43  can be no peace excepting there. Each idol that you worship when  God calls will never answer in His place. There is no other answer
Tx:29.48  and happy. It is vain to worship idols in the hope of peace.  God dwells within, and your completion lies in Him. No idol takes His
Tx:29.50  sad and sick by seeing idols there. Your holy minds are altars unto  God, and where He is, no idols can abide. The fear of God is but the
Tx:29.50  altars unto God, and where He is, no idols can abide. The fear of  God is but the fear of loss of idols. It is not the fear of loss of
Tx:29.51  sacrifice of death is nothing lost. An idol cannot take the place of  God. Let Him remind you of His love for you, and do not seek to drown
Tx:29.55  Its form is nowhere, for its source abides within your mind, where  God abideth not. Where is this place where what is everywhere has
Tx:29.57  the slaves of time. Here does the changeless change, the peace of  God, forever given to all living things, give way to chaos, and the
Tx:29.57  given to all living things, give way to chaos, and the Son of  God, as perfect, sinless and as loving as his Father, come to hate a
Tx:29.58  from what is endless, has no place to be. An idol is beyond where  God has set all things forever and has left no room for anything to
Tx:29.58  to be except His Will. Nothing and nowhere must an idol be while  God is everything and everywhere.
Tx:29.60  God has not many sons, but only One. Who can have more, and who be
Tx:29.60  Who can have more, and who be given less? In Heaven would the Son of  God but laugh if idols could intrude upon his peace. It is for him
Tx:29.60  for idols which would make of Heaven less, to give you more than  God bestowed upon your brother and on you as one with Him? God gave
Tx:29.60  more than God bestowed upon your brother and on you as one with Him?  God gave you all there is. And to be sure you could not lose it, did
Tx:29.60  a part of you, as of Himself. No idol can establish you as more than  God. But you will never be content with being less.
Tx:29.61  seek for power in the powerless. What happened to the holy Son of  God that this could be his wish—to let himself fall lower than the
Tx:29.61  that it is not a dream. A dream of judgment came into the mind that  God created perfect as Himself. And in that dream was Heaven changed
Tx:29.61  as Himself. And in that dream was Heaven changed to hell, and  God made enemy unto His Son.
Tx:29.63  escape the penalty he laid upon himself within the dream he made.  God knows of justice, not of penalty. But in the dream of judgment,
Tx:29.68  never left the altar which abides forever deep within the Son of  God. And when he hears this song again, he knows he never heard it
Tx:30.29  yourself whatever you decide. For they are made with idols or with  God. And you ask help of Christ or anti-Christ, and which you choose
Tx:30.31  some form of union, be it with a dream of judgment or the Voice for  God. Decisions cause results because they are not made in isolation.
Tx:30.33  your knowledge, saved for you that you may do your will through Him.  God asks you do your will. He joins with you. He did not set His
Tx:30.33  your glad consent, as you would have it be. And not one Thought that  God has ever had but waited for your blessing to be born. God is no
Tx:30.33  that God has ever had but waited for your blessing to be born.  God is no enemy to you. He asks no more than that He hear you call
Tx:30.34  freedom's name. Unless you do your will, you are not free. And would  God leave His Son without what he has chosen for himself? God but
Tx:30.34  And would God leave His Son without what he has chosen for himself?  God but ensured that you would never lose your will when He gave you
Tx:30.34  it now that you may be reminded of His love and learn your will.  God would not have His Son made prisoner to what he does not want. He
Tx:30.35  the world, and thus the rule of fear established there. Now hear  God speak to you through Him Who is His Voice and yours as well,
Tx:30.35  is not your will that it be bound. What lies in you has joined with  God Himself in all creation's birth. Remember He Who has created you
Tx:30.36  merely waits your blessing to be free? If you be prisoner, then  God Himself could not be free. For what is done to him whom God so
Tx:30.36  then God Himself could not be free. For what is done to him whom  God so loves is done to God Himself. Think not He wills to bind you,
Tx:30.36  not be free. For what is done to him whom God so loves is done to  God Himself. Think not He wills to bind you, Who has made you
Tx:30.37  Nor can you be free apart from Him Whose holy will you share.  God turns to you to ask the world be saved, for by your own salvation
Tx:30.37  him, and because you have decided with him, he is healed. And now is  God forgiven, for you chose to look upon your brother as a friend.
Tx:30.39 It is not form you seek. What form can be a substitute for  God the Father's love? What form can take the place of all the love
Tx:30.39  What form can take the place of all the love in the divinity of  God the Son? What idol can make two of what is one? And can the
Tx:30.41  be complete is but God's Will, and this is given you by being His.  God knows not form. He cannot answer you in terms which have no
Tx:30.41  person and no separate thing the power to complete the Son of  God. What idol can be called upon to give the Son of God what he
Tx:30.41  the Son of God. What idol can be called upon to give the Son of  God what he already has?
Tx:30.42  to any form and limited to what is not in him, he would not be as  God created him. What idol can he need to be himself? For can he give
Tx:30.42  would content you not, but in the whole completely lovely Thought  God holds of you.
Tx:30.43 Nothing that  God knows not exists. And what He knows exists forever, changelessly.
Tx:30.43  as long as does the mind that thought of them. And in the Mind of  God there is no ending nor a time in which His Thoughts were absent
Tx:30.44  it. It was always there, but you were unaware of it. The Thought  God holds of you is perfectly unchanged by your forgetting. It will
Tx:30.45 The Thoughts of  God are far beyond all change and shine forever. They await not
Tx:30.45  await not birth. They wait for welcome and remembering. The Thought  God holds of you is like a star, unchangeable in an eternal sky. So
Tx:30.47 Beyond all idols is the Thought  God holds of you. Completely unaffected by the turmoil and the terror
Tx:30.47  myriad of forms that fear can take; quite undisturbed, the Thought  God holds of you remains exactly as it always was. Surrounded by a
Tx:30.47  unaware of all the world that worships idols and that knows not  God. In perfect sureness of its changelessness and of its rest in its
Tx:30.47  its changelessness and of its rest in its eternal home, the Thought  God holds of you has never left the mind of its Creator Whom it
Tx:30.48 Where could the Thought  God holds of you exist but where you are? Is your reality a thing
Tx:30.48  one. Nor can you be aware of more than one. An idol or the Thought  God holds of you is your reality. Forget not, then, that idols must
Tx:30.48  then, that idols must keep hidden what you are, not from the Mind of  God, but from your own. The star shines still; the sky has never
Tx:30.48  shines still; the sky has never changed. But you, the holy Son of  God Himself, are unaware of your reality.
Tx:30.52 Reality observes the laws of  God, and not the rules you set. It is His laws which guarantee your
Tx:30.54  do not want whatever you believe an idol gives. For thus the Son of  God declares that he is free of idols. And thus is he free.
Tx:30.55  no more to substitute the strength of idle wishes for the Will of  God.
Tx:30.56  then its unreality is plain. Dreams are for nothing. And the Son of  God can have no need of them. They offer him no single thing that he
Tx:30.60 The final step is God's because it is but  God Who could create a perfect Son and share His Fatherhood with him.
Tx:30.60  Heaven's Son prepared to be himself, and to remember that the Son of  God knows everything his Father understands and understands it
Tx:30.62  of yourself and what you are, forgiveness washes joyfully away. Yet  God need not create His Son again that what is his be given back to
Tx:30.62  your brother and yourself was never there. And what the Son of  God knew in creation, he must know again.
Tx:30.63  till His Son has reached beyond forgiveness to the love of  God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted first. And then will come the
Tx:30.69 The Will of  God forever lies in those whose hands are joined. Until they joined,
Tx:30.69  they were free to learn their will is one. And thus the Will of  God must reach to their awareness. Nor can they forget for long that
Tx:30.73  the world employs to keep the sense of sin alive. And recognizing  God is just, it seems impossible His pardon could be real. Thus is
Tx:30.73  it seems impossible His pardon could be real. Thus is the fear of  God the sure result of seeing pardon as unmerited. No one who sees
Tx:30.73  unmerited. No one who sees himself as guilty can avoid the fear of  God. But he is saved from this dilemma if he can forgive. The mind
Tx:30.73  forgiveness is your right as much as his. Nor will you think that  God intends for you a fearful judgment which your brother does not
Tx:30.74  and to make a world which could replace it and destroy the Will of  God. Only if this were possible could there be some appearances which
Tx:30.80  that there are no forms of evil which can overcome the Will of  God—the glad acknowledgment that guilt has not succeeded by your
Tx:30.81  But what you see as having power to make an idol of the Son of  God you will not pardon. For he has become to you a graven image and
Tx:30.82 Would  God have left the meaning of the world to your interpretation? If He
Tx:30.91  You have established limits. What you ask is given you, but not of  God Who knows no limits. You have limited yourself.
Tx:31.4  The world began with one strange lesson, powerful enough to render  God forgotten and His Son an alien to himself, in exile from the home
Tx:31.4  and His Son an alien to himself, in exile from the home where  God Himself established him. You who have taught yourselves the Son
Tx:31.4  Himself established him. You who have taught yourselves the Son of  God is guilty, say not that you cannot learn the simple things
Tx:31.5  you made and gave yourselves. It was not made to do the Will of  God but to uphold a wish that It could be opposed, and that a will
Tx:31.5  forgiveness have a power mightier than yours because they call from  God and from your Self to you.
Tx:31.6  rise above the senseless noise of sounds which have no meaning?  God willed not His Son forget Him. And the power of His Will is in
Tx:31.6  Which lesson will you learn? What outcome is inevitable, sure as  God, and far beyond all doubt and question? Can it be your little
Tx:31.7  overlearned your chosen task, the lesson which reflects the love of  God is stronger still. And you will learn God's Son is innocent and
Tx:31.9  and understood that it is but your own. The Christ in you remembers  God with all the certainty with which He knows His love. But only if
Tx:31.9  knows His love. But only if His Son is innocent can He be Love. For  God were fear indeed if he whom He created innocent could be a slave
Tx:31.10 The fear of  God results as surely from the lesson that His Son is guilty as God's
Tx:31.10  appear when you have answered Him, and you will know in Him that  God is Love.
Tx:31.21  Forget the dismal lessons that you learned about this Son of  God who calls to you. Christ calls to all with equal tenderness,
Tx:31.21  Voice, He cannot hear a different answer from the one He gave when  God appointed Him His only Son.
Tx:31.32  be no ancient penalty exacted from your brother or yourself. For  God has said there is no sacrifice that can be asked; there is no
Tx:31.42  They have no meaning. You can not escape from what you are. For  God is merciful and did not let His Son abandon Him. For what He is,
Tx:31.44  all. It is an idol, made to take the place of your reality as Son of  God. The concept of the self the world would teach is not the thing
Tx:31.64  It is not done at all. What could there be within the universe which  God created that must still be done?
Tx:31.65  what you look upon nor what you choose to feel or think or wish. For  God Himself has said, “Your will be done.” And it is done to you
Tx:31.66 You who believe that you can choose to see the Son of  God as you would have him be, forget not that no concept of yourself
Tx:31.67  could hurt the truly innocent? Your will be done, you holy Child of  God. It does not matter if you think you are in earth or Heaven. What
Tx:31.70  to see. For you will not interpret what you see without the Aid that  God has given you. And in His sight there is another world.
Tx:31.72  concept of yourself be changed to one which brings the peace of  God.
Tx:31.76 The veil across the face of Christ, the fear of  God and of salvation, and the love of guilt and death, they all are
Tx:31.77  saved himself, and thus is he a savior to the rest. To everyone has  God entrusted all, because a partial savior would be one who is but
Tx:31.77  savior would be one who is but partly saved. The holy ones whom  God has given each of you to save are everyone you meet or look upon,
Tx:31.77  those you will yet meet, the unremembered and the not yet born. For  God has given you His Son to save from every concept that he ever
Tx:31.78  you wish to stay in hell, how could you be the savior of the Son of  God? How would you know his holiness while you see him apart from
Tx:31.82  eyes and offers them forgiveness with his own. Can you to whom  God says, “Release My Son!” be tempted not to listen when you learn
Tx:31.83  all its forms wherever it occurs. It would persuade the holy Son of  God he is a body, born in what must die, unable to escape its frailty
Tx:31.87  left to veil the truth. [He would remove all misery from you, whom  God created altars unto joy.] He would not leave you comfortless,
Tx:31.87  is real in you. His strength is yours because He is the Self that  God created as His only Son.
Tx:31.88 The images you make can not prevail against what  God Himself would have you be. Be never fearful of temptation then,
Tx:31.88  the world, for they are joined in all the power of the Will of  God. And what they will is only what He wills.
Tx:31.90 I am as  God created me. His Son can suffer nothing. And I am His Son.
Tx:31.91  replacing all your weakness with the strength that comes from  God and that can never fail. And thus are miracles as natural as fear
Tx:31.92 You are as  God created you, and so is every living thing you look upon,
Tx:31.93  gift I ask when in exchange I lay before your feet the peace of  God and power to bring this peace to everyone who wanders in the
Tx:31.93  will behold it not. To give this gift is how to make it yours. And  God ordained in loving kindness that it be for you.

W1:45.5 Instead, we will try to recognize that only what  God would have us do is possible. We will also try to understand that

W1:50.1  powers. All these things are your replacements for the Love of  God. All these things are cherished to ensure a body identification.
W1:50.2  faith in the worthless. It will not sustain you. Only the Love of  God will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you out of
W1:50.2  and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of  God.
W1:50.3  in illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of  God within you, eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is
W1:50.3  is the answer to whatever confronts you today. Through the Love of  God in you, you can resolve all seeming difficulties without effort
W1:50.4  and foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son of  God. Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the resting place where
W1:51.5  I am aware do not mean anything because I am trying to think without  God. What I call “my” thoughts are not my real thoughts. My real
W1:51.5  not my real thoughts. My real thoughts are the thoughts I think with  God. I am not aware of them because I have made my thoughts to take
W1:51.5  are meaningless, but all creation lies in the thoughts I think with  God.
W1:52.4  on my mind. Let me understand that I am trying to use time against  God. Let me learn to give the past away, realizing that in so doing I
W1:53.5 [14]  God did not create a meaningless world. How can a meaningless world
W1:53.5  not create a meaningless world. How can a meaningless world exist if  God did not create it? He is the Source of all meaning, and
W1:54.5  Everything I think or say or do touches all the universe. A Son of  God cannot think or speak or act in vain. He cannot be alone in
W1:54.5  power to change every mind along with mine, for mine is the power of  God.
W1:54.6  the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the Will of  God are one.
W1:55.2  are but signs of disease, disaster, and death. This cannot be what  God created for His beloved Son. The very fact that I see such things
W1:55.2  very fact that I see such things is proof that I do not understand  God. Therefore I also do not understand His Son. What I see tells me
W1:55.3  by everything. It is anything but a reflection of the Love of  God and the love of His Son. It is my own attack thoughts which give
W1:55.3  will save me from this perception of the world and give me the peace  God intended me to have.
W1:55.5  closer to the world of illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide  God has given me to find out what my own best interests are,
W1:56.2  to give my inheritance away in exchange for the world I see. But  God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real thoughts will
W1:56.4  me that I may look past it to the world that reflects the Love of  God.
W1:56.5 [29]  God is in everything I see. Behind every image I have made, the truth
W1:56.5  all my insane wishes is my will united with the Will of my Father.  God is still everywhere and in everything forever. And we who are
W1:56.6 [30]  God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. In my own mind,
W1:56.6 [30] God is in everything I see because  God is in my mind. In my own mind, behind all my insane thoughts of
W1:56.6  because I have forgotten it. It has been kept for me in the Mind of  God, Who has not left His thoughts. And I, who am among them, am one
W1:57.3  deluded myself into believing it is possible to imprison the Son of  God. I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer want.
W1:57.3  bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer want. The Son of  God must be forever free. He is as God created him, and not what I
W1:57.3  I no longer want. The Son of God must be forever free. He is as  God created him, and not what I would make of him. He is where God
W1:57.3  is as God created him, and not what I would make of him. He is where  God would have him be, and not where I thought to hold him prisoner.
W1:57.4  look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place where the Son of  God finds his freedom.
W1:57.5  as a place of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the laws of  God instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey. I will
W1:58.4  truth about me. In the presence of my holiness, which I share with  God Himself, all idols vanish.
W1:58.5  everyone must share in my understanding, which is the gift of  God to me and to the world.
W1:58.6 [40] I am blessed as a Son of  God. Herein lies my claim to all good and only good. I am blessed as
W1:58.6  lies my claim to all good and only good. I am blessed as a Son of  God. All good things are mine because God intended them for me. I
W1:58.6  good. I am blessed as a Son of God. All good things are mine because  God intended them for me. I cannot suffer any loss or deprivation or
W1:59.2 [41]  God goes with me wherever I go. How can I be alone when God always
W1:59.2 [41] God goes with me wherever I go. How can I be alone when  God always goes with me? How can I be doubtful and unsure of myself
W1:59.2  Him? Let me not cherish illusions about myself. I am perfect because  God goes with me wherever I go.
W1:59.3 [42]  God is my strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my own
W1:59.3  my pitiful illusion of seeing for the vision that is given by  God. Christ's vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me
W1:59.4 [43]  God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him. I can see what God
W1:59.4 [43] God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him. I can see what  God wants me to see. I cannot see anything else. Beyond His Will lie
W1:59.5 [44]  God is the Light in which I see. I cannot see in darkness. God is the
W1:59.5 [44] God is the Light in which I see. I cannot see in darkness.  God is the only Light. Therefore if I am to see, it must be through
W1:59.5  is, and I have been wrong. Now it is given me to understand that  God is the Light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy
W1:59.6 [45]  God is the Mind with which I think. I have no thoughts I do not share
W1:59.6  the Mind with which I think. I have no thoughts I do not share with  God. I have no thoughts apart from Him because I have no mind apart
W1:60.2 [46]  God is the Love in which I forgive. God does not forgive, because He
W1:60.2 [46] God is the Love in which I forgive.  God does not forgive, because He has never condemned. The blameless
W1:60.2  on earth. It will bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love of  God can reach down to me and raise me to my home.
W1:60.3 [47]  God is the Strength in which I trust. It is not my own strength
W1:60.3  own strength through which I forgive. It is through the strength of  God in me, which I am remembering as I forgive. As I begin to see, I
W1:60.6 [50] I am sustained by the Love of  God. As I listen to God's Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I
W1:61.1  you have endowed your idols. It refers to you as you were created by  God. It simply states the truth.
W1:61.2  that you cannot be the light of the world if that is the function  God assigned to you. It is only arrogance that would assert this
W1:61.10 You are the light of the world.  God has built His plan for the salvation of His Son on you.
W1:62.3  and guilt and pain. It will restore the invulnerability and power  God gave His Son to your awareness.
W1:62.4  throughout the day. It will help to make the day as happy for you as  God wants you to be. And it will help those around you as well as
W1:63.2  are indeed the light of the world with such a function. The Son of  God looks to you for his redemption. It is yours to give him, for it
W1:63.2  in its place or you will forget your function and leave the Son of  God in hell. This is no idle request that is being asked of you. You
W1:63.4  brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. I am the means  God has appointed for the salvation of the world.
W1:64.1  a justification for forgetting it. It is the temptation to abandon  God and His Son, taking on a physical appearance. It is this which
W1:64.3  here is to be the light of the world, a function given you by  God. It is only the arrogance of the ego that leads you to question
W1:64.3  you to regard yourself as unworthy of the task assigned to you by  God Himself.
W1:64.4  awaits your forgiveness, because through it does the Son of  God escape from all illusions and thus from all temptation. The Son
W1:64.4  escape from all illusions and thus from all temptation. The Son of  God is you. Only by fulfilling the function given you by God will you
W1:64.4  The Son of God is you. Only by fulfilling the function given you by  God will you be happy. That is because your function is to be happy
W1:65.1  only way in which you can say and mean, “My only function is the one  God gave me.” This is the only way in which you can find peace of
W1:65.4  this is to arrange your day so that you have set apart the time for  God, as well as for all the trivial purposes and goals you will
W1:65.13 My only function is the one  God gave me. I want no other and I have no other.
W1:66.4  that not only is there a very real connection between the function  God gave you and your happiness, but that they are actually
W1:66.4  gave you and your happiness, but that they are actually identical.  God gives you only happiness. Therefore the function He gave you must
W1:66.6  God gives me only happiness. He has given my function to me.
W1:66.8 The first premise is that  God gives you only happiness. This could be false, of course, but in
W1:66.8  false, of course, but in order to be false it is necessary to define  God as something He is not. Love cannot give evil, and what is not
W1:66.8  He is not. Love cannot give evil, and what is not happiness is evil.  God cannot give what He does not have, and He cannot have what He is
W1:66.8  what He does not have, and He cannot have what He is not. Unless  God gives you only happiness, He must be evil. And it is this
W1:66.9 The second premise is that  God has given you your function. We have seen that there are only two
W1:66.10 Thus it must be that your function is established by  God through His Voice or is made by the ego which you have made to
W1:66.10  by the ego which you have made to replace Him. Which is true? Unless  God gave your function to you, it must be the gift of the ego. Does
W1:66.12  rests. We can share in this conclusion, but in no other. For  God Himself shares it with us.
W1:66.15 My happiness and function are one because  God has given me both.
W1:67.1  you are. This is why you are the light of the world. This is why  God appointed you as the world's savior. This is why the Son of God
W1:67.1  why God appointed you as the world's savior. This is why the Son of  God looks to you for his salvation. He is saved by what you are.
W1:67.4 Any attribute which is in accord with  God as He defines Himself is appropriate for use. We are trying today
W1:67.4  appropriate for use. We are trying today to undo your definition of  God and replace it with His own. We are also trying to emphasize that
W1:67.8  your tiny solitary voice that tells you this. This is the Voice for  God reminding you of your Father and of your Self. This is the Voice
W1:67.8  ego tells you about yourself with the simple truth about the Son of  God. You were created by Love like Itself.
W1:68.3  to him in his dream of hate. Who can dream of hatred and not fear  God?
W1:68.4 It is as sure that those who hold grievances will redefine  God in their own image as it is certain that God created them like
W1:68.4  will redefine God in their own image as it is certain that  God created them like Himself and defined them as part of Him. It is
W1:69.7  determination call on the power of the universe to help you, and  God Himself will raise you from darkness into light. You are in
W1:69.8  Try to keep the thought clearly in mind that what you undertake with  God must succeed. Then let the power of God work in you and through
W1:69.8  that what you undertake with God must succeed. Then let the power of  God work in you and through you, that His Will and yours may be done.
W1:70.4  God would not have put the remedy for sickness where it cannot help.
W1:70.6  God wants us to be healed, and we do not really want to be sick,
W1:70.6  Therefore, in accepting the idea for today, we are in agreement with  God. He does not want us to be sick. Neither do we. He wants us to be
W1:71.6  you seek for salvation where it is. But if you are to succeed, as  God promises you will, you must be willing to seek there only.
W1:71.8  a conflict with no resolution possible. All things are possible to  God. Salvation must be yours because of His plan, which cannot fail.
W1:71.10  us devote the remainder of the extended practice periods to asking  God to reveal His plan to us. Ask Him very specifically:
W1:72.1  on His plan and a deliberate attempt to destroy it. In the attack,  God is assigned the attributes which are actually associated with the
W1:72.1  with the ego, while the ego appears to take on the attributes of  God.
W1:72.2 The ego's fundamental wish is to replace  God. In fact, the ego is the physical embodiment of this wish. For it
W1:72.4  to it by confusing it with him and judging them as one. Herein is  God attacked, for if His Son is only a body, so must He be as well. A
W1:72.5 If  God is a body, what must His plan for salvation be? What could it be
W1:72.6 The body's apparent reality makes this view of  God quite convincing. In fact, if the body were real, it would be
W1:72.6  that his salvation must be death, projecting this attack onto  God and holding Him responsible for it.
W1:72.7  seek for prey and mercy cannot enter, the ego comes to save you.  God made you a body. Very well. Let us accept this and be glad. As a
W1:72.7  be deprived of what the body offers. Take the little you can get.  God gave you nothing. The body is your only savior. It is the death
W1:72.7  gave you nothing. The body is your only savior. It is the death of  God and your salvation.
W1:72.10 The light of truth is in us, where it was placed by  God. It is the body that is outside us and is not our concern. To be
W1:73.1 Today we are considering the will you share with  God. This is not the same as the ego's idle wishes, out of which
W1:73.1  out of which darkness and nothingness arise. The will you share with  God has all the power of creation in it. The ego's idle wishes are
W1:73.3  exchange. Can such a world have been created by the will the Son of  God shares with his Father? Did God create disaster for His Son?
W1:73.3  been created by the will the Son of God shares with his Father? Did  God create disaster for His Son? Creation is the will of Both
W1:73.3  disaster for His Son? Creation is the will of Both together. Would  God create a world that kills Himself?
W1:73.4  your will. The light is in it because it does not oppose the Will of  God. It is not Heaven, but the light of Heaven shines on it. Darkness
W1:73.11  will succeed today, the time appointed for the release of the Son of  God from hell and from all idle wishes. His will is now restored to
W1:73.14 Then let your will assert itself, joined with the power of  God and united with your Self. Put the rest of the practice period
W1:74.1  you are torn by conflicting goals. As an expression of the Will of  God, you have no goal but His.
W1:74.6  Nothing can disturb me. My will is God's My will and God's are one.  God wills peace for His Son.
W1:75.11  time for special celebration. Give thanks for mercy and the Love of  God. Rejoice in the power of forgiveness to heal your sight
W1:75.15 We dedicate this day to the serenity in which  God would have you be. Keep it in your awareness of yourself and see
W1:76.6 There are no laws except the laws of  God. This needs repeating over and over until you realize that it
W1:76.7 The laws of  God can never be replaced. We will devote today to rejoicing that
W1:76.7  truth which keeps us free forever. Magic imprisons, but the laws of  God set free. The light has come because there are no laws but His.
W1:76.10  will be listening to One Who says there is no loss under the laws of  God. Payment is neither given nor received. Exchange cannot be made,
W1:76.14  from all danger and all tyranny. It is our acknowledgment that  God is our Father and that His Son is saved.
W1:77.1  because of what you are. You will receive miracles because of what  God is. And you will offer miracles because you are one with God.
W1:77.1  of what God is. And you will offer miracles because you are one with  God. Again, how simple is salvation! It is merely a statement of your
W1:77.2  It is inherent in the truth of what you are. It is implicit in what  God your Father is. It was ensured in your creation and guaranteed by
W1:77.2  is. It was ensured in your creation and guaranteed by the laws of  God.
W1:77.3  from the world you made. You have been assured that the Kingdom of  God is within you and can never be lost. We ask no more than what
W1:77.4  not obey the laws of this world. They merely follow from the laws of  God.
W1:77.5  fail to be assured in this. You are but asking that the Will of  God be done. In doing this, you do not really ask for anything. You
W1:77.11  not trade miracles for grievances. I want only what belongs to me.  God has established miracles as my right.
W1:78.2  lay it down and gently lift our eyes in silence to behold the Son of  God.
W1:78.3  grievance is a block to sight, and as it lifts, you see the Son of  God where he has always been. He stands in light, but you were in the
W1:78.6  to him. Let him be savior unto you today. Such is his role in  God your Father's plan.
W1:78.8 Then let us ask of Him Who knows this Son of  God in his reality and truth that we may look on him a different way
W1:78.8  of true forgiveness given unto us. We ask Him in the holy Name of  God and of His Son, as holy as Himself:
W1:78.11  You have allowed the Holy Spirit to express through him the role  God gave Him that you might be saved. God thanks you for these quiet
W1:78.11  express through him the role God gave Him that you might be saved.  God thanks you for these quiet times today in which you laid your
W1:78.11  The world and Heaven join in thanking you, for not one thought of  God but must rejoice as you are saved and all the world with you.
W1:82.5  And unless I fulfill my function, I will not experience the joy that  God intends for me.
W1:83.2 [65] My only function is the one  God gave me. I have no function but the one God gave me. This
W1:83.2  only function is the one God gave me. I have no function but the one  God gave me. This recognition releases me from all conflict because
W1:83.2  must disappear as I acknowledge that my only function is the one  God gave me.
W1:83.4  my function. This does not give me a function other than the one  God gave me. Let me not use this to justify a function God did not
W1:83.4  than the one God gave me. Let me not use this to justify a function  God did not give me.
W1:83.5 [66] My happiness and my function are one. All things that come from  God are one. They come from Oneness and must be received as one.
W1:87.7 Let me perceive this in accordance with the Will of  God. It is God's Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as well. This
W1:88.7  me I believe in laws which do not exist. I see only the laws of  God at work in this. Let me allow God's laws to work in this and not
W1:89.2  hide the miracles beyond. Now I would accept only what the laws of  God entitle me to have that I may use it on behalf of the function He
W1:89.5  and no substitutes. I want all of Heaven and only Heaven, as  God wills me to have.
W1:90.5  in their occurrence. That is because I do not yet realize that  God has placed the answer together with the problem, so that they
W1:91.13  your efforts, however meager, are fully supported by the strength of  God and all His thoughts. It is from Them your strength will come. It
W1:92.5  and adored that strength may be dispelled and darkness rule where  God appointed that there should be light. Strength comes from truth
W1:92.9  the meeting place we try today to find and rest in, for the peace of  God is where your Self, His Son, is waiting now to meet itself again
W1:93.4  abide in you? Your image of yourself cannot withstand the Will of  God. You think that this is death, but it is life. You think you are
W1:93.5 The self you made is not the Son of  God. Therefore, this self does not exist at all. And anything it
W1:93.5  and nothing more than that. It does not battle with the Son of  God. It does not hurt him nor attack his peace. It has not changed
W1:93.5  can this self you made possess when it would contradict the Will of  God?
W1:93.6 Your sinlessness is guaranteed by  God. Over and over this must be repeated until it is accepted. It is
W1:93.6  until it is accepted. It is true. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by  God. Nothing can touch it nor can change what God created as eternal.
W1:93.6  is guaranteed by God. Nothing can touch it nor can change what  God created as eternal. The self you made, evil and full of sin, is
W1:93.6  and full of sin, is meaningless. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by  God, and light and joy and peace abide in you.
W1:93.7 Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought—you are as  God created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may
W1:93.7  made of yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as  God created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is
W1:93.7  is eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by  God. You are and will forever be exactly as you were created. Light
W1:93.7  as you were created. Light and joy and peace abide in you because  God put them there.
W1:93.9 Light and joy and peace abide in me. My sinlessness is guaranteed by  God.
W1:93.10  spend the rest of the practice period in trying to experience what  God has given you in place of what you have decreed for yourself.
W1:93.11 You are what  God created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not
W1:93.11  from which it was created. Try not to interfere with the Self which  God created as you by hiding its majesty behind the tiny idols of
W1:93.13 Light and joy and peace abide in me. My sinlessness is guaranteed by  God.
W1:93.16  and joy and peace abide in you. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by  God.
W1:93.17  today to bring you closer to accepting the part in salvation which  God has assigned to you. And you can do much today to bring the
W1:94.1  thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. You are as  God created you. The sounds of this world are still, the sights of
W1:94.2 True light is strength, and strength is sinlessness. If you remain as  God created you, you must be strong and light must be in you. He Who
W1:94.2  must be the guarantee of strength and light as well. You are as  God created you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory of the Son of God.
W1:94.2  as God created you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory of the Son of  God. You stand in light, strong in the sinlessness in which you were
W1:94.4 I am as  God created me. I am His Son eternally.
W1:94.5 Now try to reach the Son of  God in you. This is the Self that never sinned nor made an image to
W1:94.5  to replace reality. This is the Self which never left its home in  God to walk the world uncertainly. This is the Self which knows no
W1:94.6  ascribed to yourself and wait in silent expectancy for the truth.  God has Himself promised that it will be revealed to all who ask for
W1:94.8 I am as  God created me. I am His Son eternally.
W1:94.9 Tell yourself frequently today that you are as  God created you. And be sure to respond to anyone who seems to
W1:94.10 You are as  God created you. You are His Son eternally.
W1:95.1 Today's idea accurately describes you as  God created you. You are one within yourself and one with Him. Yours
W1:95.2  of yourself—a self divided into many warring parts, separate from  God, and tenuously held together by its erratic and capricious maker,
W1:95.2  in you, for it is blind. It does not understand you are the Son of  God, for it is senseless and understands nothing.
W1:95.16  minds, that true creation may extend the Allness and the Unity of  God.
W1:95.17  is and all that there will be. You are One Self, the holy Son of  God, united with your brothers in this Self, united with your Father
W1:95.18  all your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of  God Himself, sinless as its Creator, with His strength within you and
W1:96.8  its thoughts, and they remain within your mind and in the Mind of  God. The Holy Spirit holds salvation in your mind and offers it the
W1:96.8  offers it the way to peace. Salvation is a thought you share with  God, because His Voice accepted it for you and answered in your name
W1:97.2 We state again the truth about your Self, the holy Son of  God who rests in you whose mind has been restored to sanity. You are
W1:97.9 Spirit am I, a holy Son of  God, free of all limits, safe and healed and whole, free to forgive,
W1:97.11  speak to you, reminding you that you are Spirit, one with Him and  God, your brothers and your Self. Listen for His assurance every time
W1:98.1  the one. We dedicate ourselves to truth today and to salvation as  God planned it be. We will not argue it is something else; we will
W1:98.1  gladness we accept it as it is and take the part assigned to us by  God.
W1:98.5  of your time each hour to be able to accept the happiness that  God has given you? Is it not worth five minutes hourly to recognize
W1:99.1  corrective change, something apart or different from the Will of  God. Thus do both terms imply the thought of the impossible which has
W1:99.3  real because the mind that thinks these thoughts is separate from  God.
W1:99.4  without attack and with no touch of pain? What but a thought of  God could be this plan by which the never done is overlooked and sins
W1:99.5 The Holy Spirit holds this plan of  God exactly as it was received of Him within the Mind of God and in
W1:99.5  plan of God exactly as it was received of Him within the Mind of  God and in your own. It is apart from time in that its Source is
W1:99.5  and on loss. Yet does He know one thing must still be true— God still is Love, and this is not His Will.
W1:99.8 Salvation is my only function here.  God still is Love, and this is not His Will.
W1:99.10 This part belongs to  God, as does the rest. It does not think its solitary thoughts and
W1:99.15  do not want to be another self. You have no function that is not of  God. Forgive yourself the one you think you made. Forgiveness and
W1:99.17 Salvation is my only function here.  God still is Love, and this is not His Will.
W1:99.20  find Its rightful place in you and show you that you are the Son of  God.
W1:100.2  you. They will see their function in your shining face and hear  God calling to them in your happy laugh.
W1:100.3  smile, the world cannot be saved. While you are sad, the light which  God Himself appointed as the means to save the world is dim and
W1:100.4  and their joy heals sorrow and despair. They are the proof that  God wills perfect happiness for all who will accept their Father's
W1:100.5  would play another part instead of what has been assigned to you by  God. Thus do you fail to show the world how great the happiness He
W1:100.6  and all the world is thus deprived of joy along with you.  God asks that you be happy so the world can see how much He loves His
W1:100.10  foolish goal can keep you from success when He Who calls to you is  God Himself? He will be there. You are essential to His plan. You are
W1:101.2  sometime, in some form which evens the account they owe to  God. They would escape Him in their fear. And yet He will pursue, and
W1:101.4  If sin is real, salvation has become your bitter enemy, the curse of  God upon you who have crucified His Son.
W1:101.7 Fear not the Will of  God. But turn to it in confidence that it will set you free from all
W1:102.2  been slave to nothing. Be you free today to join the happy Will of  God.
W1:103.2  These images, with no reality in truth, bear witness to the fear of  God, forgetting being Love, He must be joy.
W1:103.4  God, being Love, is also happiness. To fear Him is to be afraid of
W1:103.5  today with this association, which corrects the false belief that  God is fear. It also emphasizes happiness belongs to you because of
W1:103.6  fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the place of pain.  God being Love, it will be given you. Bolster this expectation
W1:103.7  God, being Love, is also happiness. And it is happiness I seek today.
W1:104.1  They are your right because of what you are. They come to you from  God, Who cannot fail to give you what He wills. Yet must there be a
W1:104.3  them in place of what we made we but unite our will with what  God wills and recognize the same as being one.
W1:104.6  seek instead that which is truly ours, as we ask to recognize what  God has given us.
W1:105.7  you the peace and joy that are their right under the equal laws of  God. Here you denied them to yourself. And here you must return to
W1:105.9  today. Now are you ready to accept the gift of peace and joy which  God has given you. Now are you ready to experience the joy and peace
W1:105.12  see it as but another chance to let yourself receive the gifts of  God as yours. Then bless your brother thankfully, and say:
W1:106.4  They end the dream instead and last forever, for they come from  God to His dear Son, whose other name is you.
W1:106.5  lies upon the earth and wakes all those who sleep and cannot see.  God calls to them through you. He needs your voice to speak to them,
W1:106.12 Today the holy Word of  God is kept through your receiving it to give away, so you can teach
W1:106.13 Let me be still and listen to the truth. I am the messenger of  God today. My voice is His, to give what I receive.
W1:109.2 “I rest in  God.” This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and
W1:109.2  and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you seek. “I rest in  God.” This thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose
W1:109.2  come to linger for a while. Here is the thought in which the Son of  God is born again, to recognize himself.
W1:109.3 “I rest in  God.” Completely undismayed this thought will carry you through
W1:109.3  misery and pain, past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of  God. There is no suffering it cannot heal. There is no problem which
W1:109.3  appearance but will turn to truth before the eyes of you who rest in  God.
W1:109.4 This is the day of peace. You rest in  God, and while the world is torn by winds of hate, your rest remains
W1:109.4  in your rest, and they will hear and come to you because you rest in  God. They will not hear another voice but yours because you gave your

W1:122.15  I have accepted this as true. Today I have received the gifts of  God.
W1:123.3  far transcends your meager gifts and petty judgments of the one whom  God established as His Son.
W1:123.4  We sing the song of thankfulness today in honor of the Self Which  God has willed to be our true Identity in Him. Today we smile on
W1:123.4  that in our solitude a Friend has come to speak the saving Word of  God to us.
W1:123.6 Receive the thanks of  God today, as you give thanks to Him. For He would offer you the
W1:124.1 Today we will again give thanks for our Identity in  God. Our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all we do, power and

W1:124.1  with the universe, we go our way rejoicing, with the thought that  God Himself goes everywhere with us.
W1:124.2  everything we see reflects the holiness within the mind at one with  God and with itself. How easily do errors disappear and death give
W1:124.2  everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for  God is our Companion as we walk the world a little while. And those
W1:124.3  after and to those who went before or stayed with us a while. And  God, Who loves us with the equal love in which we were created,

W1:124.11  you look on is your own. Count this half hour as your gift to  God, in certainty that His return will be a sense of love you cannot
W1:124.13 Let me remember I am one with  God, at one with all my brothers and my Self, in everlasting holiness
W1:125.2  other means can save it, for God's plan is simply this: the Son of  God is free to save himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide,
W1:125.2  this: the Son of God is free to save himself, given the Word of  God to be his Guide, forever in his mind and at his side to lead him
W1:125.3  from all the judgments which the world has laid upon the Son of  God. It knows him not. Today we will not listen to the world, but
W1:125.3  we will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the Word of  God.
W1:125.4 Hear, holy Son of  God, your Father speak. His Voice would give to you His holy Word to
W1:125.4  of salvation and the holy time of peace. We gather at the throne of  God today, the quiet place within the mind where He abides forever in
W1:125.7  to the world and choose instead a gentle listening to the Word of  God. He speaks from nearer than your heart to you. His Voice is
W1:125.8  and of Son. In quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him tell you  God has never left His Son, and you have never left your Self.
W1:125.9  be still and listen. You will hear the Word in which the Will of  God the Son joins in His Father's Will, at one with It, with no
W1:125.10  a special purpose for this day—in quiet to receive the Word of  God.
W1:126.6  to restore your unity with him to your awareness. It is not what  God intended it to be for you.
W1:127.1  It never alters with a person or a circumstance. It is the Heart of  God, and also of His Son.
W1:127.2  judge between the righteous and the sinner and perceive the Son of  God in separate parts.
W1:127.4  you are and what love is. Love's meaning is your own, and shared by  God Himself. For what you are is what He is. There is no love but
W1:127.7 Let us together, then, be glad to give some time to  God today and understand there is no better use for time than this.
W1:127.7  upon its meager offerings and senseless gifts, and let the gift of  God replace them all.
W1:127.12 I bless you, brother, with the Love of  God which I would share with you. For I would learn the joyous lesson
W1:129.4  and plain as day, remains unlimited for all eternity. And  God Himself speaks to His Son as His Son speaks to Him. Their
W1:130.8  your hands of all the petty treasures of this world. You wait for  God to help you as you say:
W1:130.9 It is impossible to see two worlds. Let me accept the strength  God offers me and see no value in this world that I may find my
W1:130.10  God will be there. For you have called upon the great unfailing Power
W1:131.6  not want it. You will reach the goal you really want as certainly as  God created you in sinlessness.
W1:131.7  it is past or in the future. Yet this cannot be, if it is where  God wills His Son to be. How could the Will of God be in the past or
W1:131.7  be, if it is where God wills His Son to be. How could the Will of  God be in the past or yet to happen? What He wills is now, without a
W1:131.8  and uncertain goals, its painful pleasures, and its tragic joys.  God made no contradictions. What denies its own existence and attacks
W1:131.9  God does not suffer conflict. Nor is His creation split in two. How
W1:131.9  creation split in two. How could it be His Son could be in hell when  God Himself established him in Heaven? Could he lose what the Eternal
W1:131.10  we will not choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the Son of  God make time to take away the Will of God? He thus denies himself
W1:131.10  truth. How could the Son of God make time to take away the Will of  God? He thus denies himself and contradicts what has no opposite. He
W1:131.17  effortlessly past it to the light. Today that day has come. Today  God keeps His ancient promise to His holy Son, as does His Son
W1:132.10  for it contains the firm foundation for today's idea. You are as  God created you. There is no place where you can suffer and no time
W1:132.10  state. How can a world of time and place exist if you remain as  God created you?
W1:132.12 Yet if you are as  God created you, you cannot think apart from Him nor make what does
W1:132.12  and must set it free that you may know the thoughts you share with  God.
W1:132.13  for this release to give you fatherhood, not of illusions, but as  God in truth. God shares His Fatherhood with you who are His Son, for
W1:132.13  to give you fatherhood, not of illusions, but as God in truth.  God shares His Fatherhood with you who are His Son, for He makes no
W1:132.14 There is no world because it is a thought apart from  God and made to separate the Father and the Son and break away a part
W1:132.14  and made to separate the Father and the Son and break away a part of  God Himself and thus destroy His wholeness. Can a world which comes
W1:132.17 I who remain as  God created me would loose the world from all I thought it was. For I
W1:134.10  choosing meaningful and keep your mind as free of guilt and pain as  God Himself intended it to be and as it is in truth. It is but lies
W1:135.5  life? What but the body falters and must fail to serve the Son of  God as worthy host?
W1:135.27  come without defense to learn the part for you within the plan of  God. What little plans or magical beliefs can still have value when
W1:135.27  have value when you have received your function from the Voice of  God Himself?
W1:135.29  I would keep it holy. I will not defend myself, because the Son of  God needs no defense against the truth of his reality.
W1:136.11  believe that Heaven quails before such mad attacks as these, with  God made blind by your illusions, truth turned into lies, and all the
W1:136.12  God knows not of your plans to change His Will. The universe remains
W1:136.13  away its gifts, and yet it knows with perfect certainty that what  God wills for you must be received.
W1:136.14  demonstrates that time is an illusion. For it lets you think what  God has given you is not the truth right now, as it must be. The
W1:136.14  given you is not the truth right now, as it must be. The thoughts of  God are quite apart from time. For time is but another meaningless
W1:136.14  but another meaningless defense you made against the truth. Yet what  God wills is here, and you remain as He created you.
W1:137.11  the grace of healing it is given them to give. What is opposed to  God does not exist. And who accepts it not within his mind becomes a
W1:137.13  curse for blessing, pain for joy, and separation for the peace of  God. Is not a minute of the hour worth the giving to receive a gift
W1:137.16  you receive, to hold but what you give, and to receive the Word of  God to take the place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were
W1:139.1  end of choice. For here we come to a decision to accept ourselves as  God created us. And what is choice except uncertainty of what we are?
W1:139.7  for what you are is certain. It is set forever in the holy Mind of  God and in your own. It is so far beyond all doubt and question that
W1:139.9  about yourself and go your way rejoicing in the endless Love of  God. It is but this that we are asked to do. It is but this that we
W1:139.11 I will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as  God created me.
W1:139.12 We have not lost the knowledge that  God gave to us when He created us like Him. We can remember it for
W1:139.13  foolish cobwebs which the world would weave around the holy Son of  God. And learn the fragile nature of the chains that seem to keep the
W1:139.14 I will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as  God created me.
W1:140.5 Peace be to you who have been cured in  God and not in idle dreams. For cure must come from holiness, and
W1:140.5  from holiness, and holiness cannot be found where sin is cherished.  God abides in holy temples. He is barred where sin has entered. Yet
W1:140.10  which will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the Son of  God. No voice but this can cure. Today we hear a single Voice which
W1:140.10  all illusions end, and peace returns to the eternal quiet home of  God.
W1:R4.3 My mind holds only what I think with  God.
W1:R4.6 And yet your mind holds only what you think with  God. Your self-deceptions cannot take the place of truth. No more
W1:R4.8 My mind holds only what I think with  God.
W1:R4.9  this thought will be enough to set the day along the lines which  God appointed and to place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you
W1:R4.10  time for its intended purpose. Let each word shine with the meaning  God has given it as it was given to you through His Voice. Let each
W1:R4.12  light, from grief to joy, from pain to peace, from sin to holiness.  God offers thanks to you who practice thus the keeping of His Word.
W1:142.2 [124] Let me remember I am one with  God.
W1:151.3  think more real than what is witnessed to by the eternal Voice of  God Himself.
W1:151.6  will clear the way to recognize yourself and let the Voice for  God alone be Judge of what is worthy of your own belief.
W1:151.7  merely bear false witness to God's Son. He recognizes only what  God loves, and in the holy light of what He sees do all the ego's
W1:151.8  before Its face. Christ cannot doubt Himself. The Voice of  God can only honor Him, rejoicing in His perfect, everlasting
W1:151.10  no longer doubt that only good can come to you who are beloved of  God, for He will judge all happenings and teach the single lesson
W1:151.13  wordlessly today, except at the beginning of the time you spend with  God. We introduce these times with but a single, slow repeating of
W1:151.13  them back to you as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will of  God.
W1:151.14  as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness  God wills His Son as proof of His eternal Love. And as each thought
W1:151.15  your thoughts are purified. So are you taught to teach the Son of  God the holy lesson of his sanctity. No one can fail to listen when
W1:151.15  his sanctity. No one can fail to listen when you hear the Voice for  God give honor to God's Son. And everyone will share the thoughts
W1:151.17  world the joyous news that truth has no illusions and the peace of  God, through us, belongs to everyone.
W1:152.5 As  God created you, you must remain unchangeable with transitory states
W1:152.6  that you believe to think you made the world you see is arrogance?  God made it not. Of this you can be sure. What can He know of the
W1:152.7 To think that  God made chaos, contradicts His Will, invented opposites to truth,
W1:152.7  would see at once these things are not of Him. And can you see what  God created not? To think you can is merely to believe you can
W1:152.7  not? To think you can is merely to believe you can perceive what  God willed not to be. And what could be more arrogant than this?
W1:152.10  we accept of Him that which we are and humbly recognize the Son of  God.
W1:152.14  will come again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home to  God as it was meant to be.
W1:152.15  speaks for you and for your Father. He will substitute the peace of  God for all your frantic thoughts, the truth of God for
W1:152.15  the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the truth of  God for self-deceptions, and God's Son for your illusions of yourself.
W1:153.5 You do not realize what you have done to sabotage the holy peace of  God by your defensiveness. For you behold the Son of God as but a
W1:153.5  holy peace of God by your defensiveness. For you behold the Son of  God as but a victim to attack by fantasies, by dreams, and by
W1:153.7  Father's anger. What can save you now from your delusion of an angry  god whose fearful image you believe you see at work in all the evils
W1:153.8  to cross our minds, and we mistook the figures in it for the Son of  God, its tiny instant for eternity.
W1:153.10  possibly be needed by the ones who are among the chosen ones of  God by His election and their own as well?
W1:153.11  of God's ministers to help their brothers choose as they have done.  God has elected all, but few have come to realize His Will is but
W1:153.13  from the pure and holy minds of Heaven's children and the Son of  God. We pause but for a moment more to play our final happy game upon
W1:153.15  we will find that half an hour is too short a time to spend with  God. Nor will we willingly give less at night in gratitude and joy.
W1:153.16  peace, as we remember to be faithful to the will we share with  God. At times, perhaps, a minute, even less, will be the most that we
W1:153.16  will be unable to withdraw a little while and turn our thoughts to  God.
W1:153.17 Yet when we can, we will observe our trust as ministers of  God in hourly remembrance of our mission and His Love. And we will
W1:153.21  be no doubt that you will reach your final goal. The ministers of  God can never fail because the love and strength and peace that shine
W1:154.2 Whatever your appointed role may be, it was selected by the Voice for  God, Whose function is to speak for you as well. Seeing your
W1:154.3  entails, and to succeed in everything you do that is related to it.  God has joined His Son in this, and thus His Son becomes His
W1:154.4 It is this joining through the Voice of  God of Father and of Son that sets apart salvation from the world. It
W1:154.4  salvation from all sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that  God created sinless. Now this mind becomes aware again of Who created
W1:154.4  itself. So is its Self the one reality in which its will and that of  God are joined.
W1:154.7  fulfills his role by giving all the messages away. The messengers of  God perform their part by their acceptance of His messages as for
W1:154.8 Would you receive the messages of  God? For thus do you become His messengers. You are appointed now.
W1:154.9 You who are now the messengers of  God receive His messages, for that is part of your appointed role. He
W1:154.9  yet to be accomplished. He Who has received for you the messages of  God would have them be received by you as well. For thus do you
W1:154.12  miracles and then receive a thousand more but will not know that  God Himself has left no gift beyond what you already have nor has
W1:154.14 I am among the ministers of  God, and I am grateful that I have the means by which to recognize
W1:155.5  while you serve yourself and set their footsteps on the way which  God has opened up to you, and them through you.
W1:155.8  only gain. Illusion can but seem to hold in chains the holy Son of  God. It is but from illusions he is saved. As they step back, he
W1:155.11  the things that pass, and miracles are purposeless, the holy Son of  God will make no journeys. There will be no wish to be illusion
W1:155.12 We walk to  God. Pause and reflect on this. Could any way be holier or more
W1:155.12  more than everything or offer less and still content the holy Son of  God? We walk to God. The truth that walks before us now is one with
W1:155.12  or offer less and still content the holy Son of God? We walk to  God. The truth that walks before us now is one with Him and leads us
W1:155.13 Your feet are safely set upon the way that leads the world to  God. Look not to ways which seem to lead you elsewhere. Dreams are
W1:156.1  leave not their source. If this be true, how can you be apart from  God? How could you walk the world alone and separate from your Source?
W1:156.2  uncertain and in others sure. You cannot walk the world apart from  God because you could not be without Him. He is what your life is.
W1:156.5  thus they see in you their holiness, saluting you as savior and as  God. Accept their reverence, for it is due to Holiness itself Which
W1:156.6  ridiculous perhaps, but who would waste an instant in approach to  God Himself for such a senseless whim?
W1:156.7  all its fantasies. They keep you bound no longer. The approach to  God is near. And in the little interval of doubt which still remains,
W1:156.8  has ended doubting and established peace. Today let doubting cease.  God speaks for you in answering your question with these words:
W1:156.9 I walk with  God in perfect holiness. I light the world, I light my mind and all
W1:156.9  holiness. I light the world, I light my mind and all the minds which  God created one with me.
W1:157.5  your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy thoughts of  God.
W1:158.7  law. It does not look upon a body and mistake it for the Son whom  God created. It beholds a light beyond the body, an idea beyond what
W1:158.8  this you give today—see no one as a body. Greet him as the Son of  God he is, acknowledging that he is one with you in holiness.
W1:158.10  to let Christ's vision shine on you and offer you the peace of  God.
W1:159.3  pictures Heaven, for it sees a world so like to Heaven that what  God created perfect can be mirrored there. The darkened glass the
W1:159.10  of miracles set out for you to give. Are you not worth the gift when  God appointed it be given you? Judge not God's Son, but follow in the
W1:159.10  the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting sanctity in  God.
W1:160.4  the stranger? Is it fear or you that is unsuited to the home which  God provided for His Son? Is fear His own, created in His likeness?
W1:160.7  him your rightful place. Yet is your Self as certain of Its own as  God is of His Son. He cannot be confused about creation. He is sure
W1:160.8  to your Father, nor is your Creator stranger made to you. Whom  God has joined remains forever one, at home in Him, no stranger to
W1:161.1  by, and Heaven now restored. Here is the answer of the Voice of  God.
W1:161.9  eyes behold in one whom Heaven cherishes, the angels love, and  God created perfect. This is his reality. And in Christ's vision is
W1:161.14 Give me your blessing, holy Son of  God. I would behold you with the eyes of Christ, and see my perfect
W1:161.15  He will answer Whom you called upon, for He will hear the Voice of  God in you and answer in your own. Behold him now whom you had seen
W1:162.1  you as you advance. These words are sacred, for they are the words  God gave in answer to the world you made. By them it disappears, and
W1:162.1  illusions vanish as these words are spoken. For they come from  God.
W1:162.4  them. So wholly is it changed that it is now the treasury in which  God places all His gifts and all His Love to be distributed to all
W1:162.4  because its sharing is unlimited. And thus you learn to think with  God. Christ's vision has restored your sight by salvaging your mind.
W1:162.6  invitation, eager to unite with one like him in holiness? You are as  God created you. These words dispel the night, and darkness is no
W1:162.6  is come today to bless the world, for you have recognized the Son of  God, and in your recognition is the world's.
W1:163.2 Embodiment of fear, the host of sin,  god of the guilty, and the lord of all illusions and deceptions, does
W1:163.4  bow down to idols such as this? Here is the strength and might of  God Himself perceived within an idol made of dust. Here is the
W1:163.4  perceived within an idol made of dust. Here is the opposite of  God proclaimed as lord of all creation, stronger than God's Will for
W1:163.4  the headstone death has placed upon the body of the holy Son of  God.
W1:163.5  for he has passed to dust. It says but this: “Here lies a witness  God is dead.” And this it writes again and still again, while all the
W1:163.7 The idea of the death of  God is so preposterous that even the insane have difficulty in
W1:163.7  even the insane have difficulty in believing it. For it implies that  God was once alive and somehow perished, killed, apparently, by those
W1:163.8  it now in every form for their salvation and our own as well.  God made not death. Whatever form it takes must therefore be
W1:164.1  for beyond them all He hears the song of Heaven and the Voice of  God more clear, more meaningful, more near.
W1:164.9  joy this very day. Practice in earnest, and the gift is yours. Would  God deceive you? Can His promise fail? Can you withhold so little
W1:165.2 The Thought of  God created you. It left you not, nor have you ever been apart from
W1:165.2  everything is one with you because It left you not. The Thought of  God protects you, cares for you, makes soft your resting place and
W1:165.2  and everlasting life shine in your mind because the Thought of  God has left you not and still abides with you.
W1:165.4  within it. Till you welcome it as yours, uncertainty remains. Yet  God is fair. Sureness is not required to receive what only your
W1:165.5  your mind has come to lay aside denial and accept the Thought of  God as its inheritance.
W1:165.6  of the world. Your destiny lies there and nowhere else. Would  God consent to let His Son remain forever starved by his denial of
W1:165.7  hope. For hope indeed is justified. Your doubts are meaningless, for  God is certain. And the Thought of Him is never absent. Sureness must
W1:165.7  have interposed between Him and your certainty of Him. We count on  God and not upon ourselves to give us certainty. And in His Name we
W1:166.2  underlies the making of the world. This world is not the Will of  God, and so it is not real. Yet those who think it real must still
W1:166.2  believes in two creators or in one, himself alone. But never in one  God.
W1:166.3 The gifts of  God are not acceptable to anyone who holds such strange beliefs. He
W1:166.5  to nowhere. Still he wanders on in misery and poverty, alone though  God is with him, and a treasure his so great that everything the
W1:166.8  And what becomes of all the tragedy you sought to make for him whom  God intended only joy?
W1:166.10 God's Will does not oppose. It merely is. It is not  God you have imprisoned in your plan to lose your Self. He does not
W1:166.12  saved you from the solitude you sought to make in which to hide from  God. He has reminded you of all the gifts that God has given you. He
W1:166.12  in which to hide from God. He has reminded you of all the gifts that  God has given you. He speaks as well of what becomes your will when
W1:166.15  Become the living proof of what Christ's touch can offer everyone.  God has entrusted all His gifts to you. Be witness in your happiness
W1:166.15  gifts and feel the touch of Christ. Such is your mission now. For  God entrusts the giving of His gifts to all who have received them.
W1:167.1  It does not have degrees. It is the one condition in which all that  God created share. Like all His thoughts, it has no opposite. There
W1:167.1  all His thoughts, it has no opposite. There is no death because what  God created shares His Life. There is no death because an opposite to
W1:167.1  created shares His Life. There is no death because an opposite to  God does not exist. There is no death because the Father and the Son
W1:167.3  It is why you cannot die. Its truth established you as one with  God.
W1:167.8  God creates only mind awake. He does not sleep, and His creations
W1:167.8  of life. Forever unopposed by opposites of any kind, the thoughts of  God remain forever changeless with the power to extend forever
W1:167.10  even an instant where the thought of life eternal has been set by  God Himself.
W1:168.1  God speaks to us. Shall we not speak to Him? He is not distant. He
W1:168.3 Today we ask of  God the gift He has most carefully preserved within our hearts,
W1:168.3  our hearts, waiting to be acknowledged. This the gift by which  God leans to us and lifts us up, taking salvation's final step
W1:168.4  God loves His Son. Request Him now to give the means by which this
W1:169.1 Grace is an aspect of the Love of  God which is most like the state prevailing in the unity of truth. It
W1:169.2 Grace is acceptance of the Love of  God within a world of seeming hate and fear. By grace alone the hate
W1:169.4  determined it. And yet we urge you to bear witness to the Word of  God to hasten the experience of truth and speed its advent into every
W1:169.5 Oneness is simply the idea  God is. And in His Being, He encompasses all things. No mind holds
W1:169.6  of time, forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ. The Son of  God has merely disappeared into His Father, as his Father has in him.
W1:169.10  nearer each uncertain heart that does not beat as yet in tune with  God. Forgiveness is the central theme which runs throughout
W1:170.7 With love as enemy must cruelty become a  god, and gods demand that those who worship them obey their dictates
W1:170.8 Today we look upon this cruel  god dispassionately. And we note that though his lips are smeared
W1:170.9  piece of stone? Or will you make another idol to replace it? For the  god of cruelty takes many forms. Another can be found.
W1:170.10  block, impenetrable, fearful and beyond surmounting, is the fear of  God Himself. Here is the basic premise which enthrones the thought of
W1:170.10  Here is the basic premise which enthrones the thought of fear as  god. For fear is loved by those who worship it, and love appears to
W1:170.11  beyond conception, striking down all who acknowledge Him to be their  God.
W1:170.12  for the last time upon this bit of carven stone you made and call it  god no longer. You have reached this place before, but you have
W1:170.12  have reached this place before, but you have chosen that this cruel  god remain with you in still another form, and so the fear of God
W1:170.12  cruel god remain with you in still another form, and so the fear of  God returned with you. This time you leave it here. And you return to
W1:170.13  to Christ, and He looks through them. Now your voice belongs to  God and echoes His. And now your heart remains at peace forever. You
W1:170.13  given by your Creator, are restored to you at last. The Call of  God is heard and answered. Now has fear made way for love, as God
W1:170.13  of God is heard and answered. Now has fear made way for love, as  God Himself replaces cruelty.
W1:R5.5  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:R5.10  to you from Him Who sees your bitter need and knows the answer  God has given Him. Together we review these thoughts. Together we
W1:R5.10  and effort to them. And together we will teach them to our brothers.  God would not have Heaven incomplete. It waits for you, as I do. I am
W1:R5.12  Your glory undefiled forever. And your wholeness now complete, as  God established it. You are His Son, completing His extension in your

W1:173.1  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:173.2 [155] I will step back and let Him lead the way.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:173.3 [156] I walk with  God in perfect holiness. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:173.3 [156] I walk with God in perfect holiness.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:174.1  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:174.2 [157] Into His Presence would I enter now.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:174.3 [158] Today I learn to give as I receive.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:175.1  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:175.2 [159] I give the miracles I have received.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:175.3 [160] I am at home. Fear is the stranger here.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:176.1  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:176.2 [161] Give me your blessing, holy Son of  God. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:176.2 [161] Give me your blessing, holy Son of God.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:176.3 [162] I am as  God created me. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:176.3 [162] I am as God created me.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:177.1  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:177.2 [163] There is no death. The Son of  God is free. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:177.2 [163] There is no death. The Son of God is free.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:177.3 [164] Now are we one with Him Who is our Source.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:178.1  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:178.2 [165] Let not my mind deny the thought of  God. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:178.2 [165] Let not my mind deny the thought of God.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

W1:179.2 [167] There is one life, and that I share with God.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:179.3 [168] Your grace is given me. I claim it now.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:180.1  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:180.2 [169] By grace I live. By grace I am released.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:180.3 [170] There is no cruelty in  God and none in me. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:180.3 [170] There is no cruelty in God and none in me.  God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:181.10  to the experience we ask for now. Our sinlessness is but the Will of  God. This instant is our willing one with His.
W1:183.4 Repeat the Name of  God and little names have lost their meaning. No temptation but
W1:183.4  the names of all the gods you value. They have lost the name of  god you gave them. They become anonymous and valueless to you,
W1:183.4  anonymous and valueless to you, although before you let the Name of  God replace their little names, you stood before them worshipfully,
W1:183.5 Repeat the Name of  God and call upon your Self, Whose Name is His. Repeat His Name and
W1:183.5  earth slip into right perspective. Those who call upon the Name of  God cannot mistake the nameless for the Name, nor sin for grace, nor
W1:183.5  for the Name, nor sin for grace, nor bodies for the holy Son of  God.
W1:183.6  quiet minds, you have established there an altar which reaches to  God Himself and to His Son. Practice but this today; repeat God's
W1:183.8 Thus do we give an invitation which can never be refused. And  God will come and answer it Himself. Think not He hears the little
W1:183.11 Turn to the Name of  God for your release, and it is given you. No prayer but this is
W1:183.11  thought he made be nameless now, and in their place the holy Name of  God becomes his judgment of their worthlessness.
W1:183.12  have disappeared. The universe consists of nothing but the Son of  God who calls upon his Father. And his Father's Voice gives answer in
W1:184.10  forget the darkness. Here you understand the Word, the Name Which  God has given you; the One Identity Which all things share; the one
W1:184.11  them but for convenience, yet do not forget they share the Name of  God along with you.
W1:184.12  God has no name. And yet His Name becomes the final lesson that all
W1:184.12  reflection. Every gap is closed and separation healed. The Name of  God is the inheritance He gave to those who chose the teaching of the
W1:184.13 No one can fail who seeks the meaning of the Name of  God. Experience must come to supplement the word. But first you must
W1:185.1  Heaven would be completely given back to full awareness, memory of  God entirely restored, the resurrection of all creation fully
W1:185.2  He cannot make a hell and think it real. He wants the peace of  God, and it is given him. For that is all he wants, and that is all
W1:185.3  one intent become so strong that what they will becomes the Will of  God. For minds can only join in truth. In dreams no two can share the
W1:185.4  They merely bargain. And what bargain can give them the peace of  God? Illusions come to take His place. And what He means is lost to
W1:185.5 To mean you want the peace of  God is to renounce all dreams. For no one means these words who wants
W1:185.7  that we really mean the words we say. We want the peace of  God. This is no idle wish. These words do not request another dream
W1:185.9  “Is this what I would have, in place of Heaven and the peace of  God?” This is the choice you make. Be not deceived that it is
W1:185.10 You want the peace of  God. And so do all who seem to seek for dreams. For them as well as
W1:185.11 No one who truly seeks the peace of  God can fail to find it. For he merely asks that he deceive himself
W1:185.11  unanswered who requests an answer which is his to give? The peace of  God is yours.
W1:185.12  you? And how could your request be limited to you alone? No gift of  God can be unshared. It is this attribute that sets the gifts of God
W1:185.12  of God can be unshared. It is this attribute that sets the gifts of  God apart from every dream that ever seemed to take the place of
W1:185.13 No one can lose and everyone must gain whenever any gift of  God has been requested and received by anyone. God gives but to
W1:185.13  whenever any gift of God has been requested and received by anyone.  God gives but to unite. To take away is meaningless to Him. And when
W1:185.14  that hate has sought to sever, but which still remains as  God created it. With help like this beside us, can we fail today as
W1:185.14  like this beside us, can we fail today as we request the peace of  God be given us?
W1:186.1  It does not judge your proper role. It but acknowledges the Will of  God is done on earth as well as Heaven. It unites all wills on earth
W1:186.3  that modesty is outraged. It is pride that would deny the call of  God Himself.
W1:186.6  is this image which quails and retreats in terror as the Voice for  God assures you that you have the strength, the wisdom, and the
W1:186.6  the truth in you, and misery can come not near the holy home of  God.
W1:186.7 All this the Voice for  God relates to you. And as He speaks, the image trembles and seeks to
W1:186.7  not upon this little pile of dust. What can it tell the holy Son of  God? Why need he be concerned with it at all?
W1:186.8 And so we find our peace. We will accept the function  God has given us, for all illusions rest upon the weird belief that
W1:186.9 Is this the Son of  God? Could He create such instability and call it Son? He Who is
W1:187.9  to look upon such lovely holiness? The great illusion of the fear of  God diminishes to nothingness before the purity that you will look on
W1:187.10  one in thought, for fear has gone. And here, before the altar to one  God, one Father, one Creator and one thought, we stand together as
W1:187.10  Father, one Creator and one thought, we stand together as one Son of  God. Not separate from Him Who is our Source; not distant from one
W1:187.10  as one, we stand in blessedness and give as we receive. The Name of  God is on our lips. And as we look within, we see the purity of
W1:187.11  see it everywhere. We would behold it shining with the grace of  God in everyone. We would not have it be withheld from anything we
W1:188.3 The peace of  God is shining in you now and from your heart extends around the
W1:188.4  all measure, given and returned. To you, the giver of the gift, does  God Himself give thanks. And in His blessing does the light in you
W1:188.5 The peace of  God can never be contained. Who recognizes it within himself must
W1:188.5  He forgives because he recognized the truth in him. The peace of  God is shining in you now and in all living things. In quietness is
W1:188.6  of worldly things outside yourself, become the holy messengers of  God Himself. These thoughts you think with Him. They recognize their
W1:188.6  recognize their home. And they point surely to their Source where  God the Father and the Son are one.
W1:188.7  you are the co-creator of all things that live. For as the peace of  God is shining in you, it must shine on them.
W1:188.8  back to where they fall in line with all the thoughts we share with  God. We will not let them stray. We let the light within our minds
W1:188.9  our minds restored with them, and we acknowledge that the peace of  God still shines in us and from us to all living things that share
W1:188.10 The peace of  God is shining in me now. Let all things shine upon me in that peace,
W1:189.1  is a reflection of the thought we practice now. To feel the Love of  God within you is to see the world anew, shining in innocence, alive
W1:189.3 This is the world the Love of  God reveals. It is so different from the world you see through
W1:189.5  in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers. If you feel the Love of  God within you, you look out upon a world of mercy and of love.
W1:189.7  this: be still and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what  God is, all concepts you have learned about the world, all images you
W1:189.7  forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your  God.
W1:189.8  to allow all obstacles that you have interposed between the Son and  God the Father to be quietly removed forever. God will do His part in
W1:189.8  between the Son and God the Father to be quietly removed forever.  God will do His part in joyful and immediate response. Ask and
W1:189.8  Ask and receive. But do not make demands nor point the road to  God by which He should appear to you. The way to reach Him is merely
W1:189.9  denied is surely there if it be true, and can be surely reached.  God knows His Son and knows the way to him. He does not need His Son
W1:190.1  it takes which will not disappear if seen aright. For pain proclaims  God cruel. How could it be real in any form? It witnesses to God the
W1:190.1  God cruel. How could it be real in any form? It witnesses to  God the Father's hatred of His Son, the sinfulness He sees in him,
W1:190.3 Pain is a sign illusions reign in place of truth. It demonstrates  God is denied, confused with fear, perceived as mad, and seen as
W1:190.3  with fear, perceived as mad, and seen as traitor to Himself. If  God is real, there is no pain. If pain is real, there is no God. For
W1:190.3  If God is real, there is no pain. If pain is real, there is no  God. For vengeance is not part of love. And fear, denying love and
W1:190.3  part of love. And fear, denying love and using pain to prove that  God is dead, has shown that death is victor over life. The body is
W1:190.3  has shown that death is victor over life. The body is the Son of  God, corruptible in death, as mortal as the Father he has slain.
W1:190.6  entirely as you elect to change your mind and choose the joy of  God as what you really want. Your Self is radiant in this holy joy,
W1:190.8  Pain is the ransom you have gladly paid not to be free. In pain is  God denied the Son He loves. In pain does fear appear to triumph over
W1:190.9  Here will you understand there is no pain. Here does the joy of  God belong to you.
W1:190.11  our joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin, the peace of  God instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven for the darkness of
W1:191.1  have done by giving to the world the role of jailer to the Son of  God. What could it be but vicious and afraid, fearful of shadows,
W1:191.3  and ghostly thought which mocks creation and which laughs at  God. Deny your own Identity, and you assail the universe alone,
W1:191.4  except a game you play in which identity can be denied? You are as  God created you. All else but this one thing is folly to believe. In
W1:191.6 One holy thought like this, and you are free: you are the holy Son of  God Himself. And with this holy thought, you learn as well that you
W1:191.8 I am the holy Son of  God Himself. I cannot suffer, cannot be in pain; I cannot lose, nor
W1:191.10  time began. For time has lost its hold upon the world. The Son of  God has come in glory to redeem the lost, to save the helpless, and
W1:191.12 Then let the Son of  God awaken from his sleep, and opening his holy eyes return again to
W1:191.13  die till you accept your own eternal life. You are the holy Son of  God Himself. Remember this and all the world is free. Remember this
W1:192.1  preserved, extending love, creating in its name, forever one with  God and with your Self. Yet what can such a function mean within a
W1:192.3  come to earth. For being Heaven-borne, it has no form at all. Yet  God created One Who has the power to translate into form the wholly
W1:192.4  and leaves the world a clean and unmarked slate on which the Word of  God can now replace the senseless symbols written there before.
W1:192.6  the body is its home. Only forgiveness can restore the peace that  God intended for His holy Son. Only forgiveness can persuade the Son
W1:192.7  give up nothing. But we have indeed been given everything by  God. Yet do we need forgiveness to perceive that this is so. Without
W1:192.10 Be merciful today. The Son of  God deserves your mercy. It is he who asks that you accept the way to
W1:192.10  forgive him, that you may accept him back as your Identity. He is as  God created him. And you are what he is. Forgive him now his sins,
W1:193.1  God does not know of learning. Yet His Will extends to what He does
W1:193.2  God sees no contradictions. Yet His Son believes he sees them. Thus
W1:193.2  give him vision that will lead him back to where perception ceases.  God does not perceive at all. Yet it is He Who gives the means by
W1:193.3  God offers no forgiveness, for He knows no sin is possible. And yet
W1:193.3  by every mind which had forgotten it as it exists in Heaven and in  God. Thus He encompassed what He could not see nor understand by
W1:193.4 The One Whom  God created to replace the foolish thoughts which crept into the mind
W1:193.5 These are the lessons  God would have you learn. His Will reflects them all, and they
W1:193.12  God would not have you suffer thus. He would help you forgive
W1:193.12  help you forgive yourself. His Son does not remember who he is. And  God would have him not forget His Love and all the gifts His Love
W1:193.12  Heaven's Teacher sets before you that all pain may disappear and  God may be remembered by His Son?
W1:193.13 All things are lessons  God would have you learn. He would not leave an unforgiving thought
W1:193.13  yet unshed and none but waiting their appointed time to fall. For  God has willed that laughter should replace each one and that His Son
W1:193.15  Truth is His message; truth His teaching is. His are the lessons  God would have us learn.
W1:193.17  unbound, in peace eternal in the world of time. This is the lesson  God would have you learn: there is a way to look on everything that
W1:193.20  you hold the key that opens Heaven's gate and brings the Love of  God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven. God
W1:193.20  of God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven.  God will take this final step Himself. Do not deny the little steps
W1:194.1  place of peace where you await with certainty the final step of  God. How far are we progressing now from earth! How close are we
W1:194.3  In no one instant can one even die. And so each instant given unto  God in passing, with the next one given Him already, is a time of
W1:194.4  God holds your future as He holds your past and present. They are one
W1:194.7  worry can beset the one who gives his future to the loving hands of  God? What can he suffer? What can cause him pain or bring experience
W1:194.8 Place, then, your future in the hands of  God. For thus you call the memory of Him to come again, replacing all
W1:194.8  creature not respond with healed perception? Who entrusts himself to  God has also placed the world within the hands to which he has
W1:195.4 You do not offer  God your gratitude because your brother is more slave than you, nor
W1:195.4  can only be sincere if it is joined to love. We offer thanks to  God our Father that in us all things will find their freedom. It will
W1:195.6  we offer thanks for nothing and we fail to recognize the gifts of  God to us.
W1:195.8  aside. What more remains as obstacles to peace? The fear of  God is now undone at last, and we forgive without comparing. Thus we
W1:195.9  the single thought we substitute for these insane perceptions.  God has cared for us and calls us Son. Can there be more than this?
W1:195.10  is but an aspect of the love which is the Source of all creation.  God gives thanks to you, His Son, for being what you are—His own
W1:195.10  road except the way of gratitude, and thus we go who walk the way to  God.
W1:196.4  years can easily be done in just one instant by the grace of  God.
W1:196.5  to be salvation. Yet it merely stood for the belief the fear of  God is real. And what is that but hell? Who could believe his Father
W1:196.6  must be entirely impossible, how could there be escape? The fear of  God is real to anyone who thinks this thought is true. And he will
W1:196.8  impossible that you be hurt except by your own thoughts, the fear of  God must disappear. You do not now believe that fear is caused
W1:196.8  disappear. You do not now believe that fear is caused without. And  God, Whom you had thought to banish, can be welcomed back within the
W1:196.9  and pursuit. Nor need you hide in terror from the deadly fear of  God projection hides behind. The thing you dread the most is your
W1:196.10  within. It seemed to be an enemy outside you had to fear. And thus a  god outside yourself became your mortal enemy—the source of fear.
W1:196.11  instant is the time as well in which salvation comes. For fear of  God has disappeared. And you can call on Him to save you from
W1:196.12 There is no thought of  God that does not go with you to help you reach that instant and to
W1:196.12  and to go beyond it quickly, surely, and forever. When the fear of  God is gone, there are no obstacles that still remain between you and
W1:196.12  are no obstacles that still remain between you and the holy peace of  God. How kind and merciful is the idea we practice! Give it welcome,
W1:197.2 How easily are  God and guilt confused by those who know not what their thoughts can
W1:197.4  accepted universally and thankfully acknowledged by the Heart of  God Himself. And would you take them back when He has gratefully
W1:197.5  God blesses every gift you give to Him and every gift is given Him
W1:197.5  Him because it can be given only to yourself, and what belongs to  God must be His own. Yet you will never realize His gifts are sure,
W1:197.6  think you see outside yourself, and you can never think the gifts of  God are lent but for a little while before He snatches them away
W1:197.7  forever over. Thank your Self for this, for He is grateful only unto  God, and He gives thanks for you unto Himself. To everyone who lives
W1:197.8 Thanks be to you, the holy Son of  God, for as you were created you contain all things within your Self.
W1:197.8  you contain all things within your Self. And you are still as  God created you. Nor can you dim the light of your perfection. In
W1:197.8  you dim the light of your perfection. In your heart, the Heart of  God is laid. He holds you dear because you are Himself. All gratitude
W1:197.9  can only be His thoughts, sharing with Him the holy thoughts of  God. Earn now the gratitude you have denied yourself when you forgot
W1:197.9  the gratitude you have denied yourself when you forgot the function  God has given you. But never think that He has ever ceased to offer
W1:198.3  to where the truth must be and gives direction with the certainty of  God Himself. It is a dream in which the Son of God awakens to his
W1:198.3  with the certainty of God Himself. It is a dream in which the Son of  God awakens to his Self and to his Father, knowing They are one.
W1:198.4  death. How could there be another way, when this one is the plan of  God Himself? And why would you oppose it, quarrel with it, seek to
W1:198.6  joy that ever can be found upon this earth. His words are born in  God, and come to you with Heaven's love upon them. Those who hear His
W1:198.6  merge as one at last. And as this one will fade away, the Word of  God will come to take its place, for it will be remembered then and
W1:198.8  mad to think that you could be condemned and that the holy Son of  God can die! The stillness of your Self remains unmoved, untouched by
W1:198.12  this one dream. This is the gift the Holy Spirit holds for you from  God your Father. Let today be celebrated both on earth and in your
W1:198.13  face of earth, made quiet in a dreamless sleep. And now the Word of  God alone remains upon it. Only that can be perceived an instant
W1:198.13  you ever thought you made completely vanished from the mind which  God forever knows to be His only Son.
W1:198.14  you see the vision of yourself and then you disappear forever into  God.
W1:198.15  here will not forsake us now. For He would give to us the gift that  God has given us through Him today. Now is it time for your
W1:199.2  never enter in a mind that has attached itself to Love. It rests in  God, and who can be afraid who lives in Innocence and only loves?
W1:199.7  freedom, perfect joy, and hope that finds its full accomplishment in  God.
W1:199.8  thanks for the increase of joy your practice brings even to it. And  God Himself extends His Love and happiness each time you say:
W1:199.9 I am not a body. I am free. I hear the Voice that  God has given me, and it is only this my mind obeys.
W1:200.1 Seek you no further. You will not find peace except the peace of  God. Accept this fact, and save yourself the agony of yet more bitter
W1:200.1  further. There is nothing else for you to find except the peace of  God, unless you seek for misery and pain.
W1:200.7 There is no peace except the peace of  God because He has one Son, who cannot make a world in opposition to
W1:200.7  Yet can he learn to look on it another way and find the peace of  God.
W1:200.8  gently toward the bridge where freedom lies within the peace of  God.
W1:200.9  wander can there be delay and needless wasted time on thorny byways.  God alone is sure, and He will guide our footsteps. He will not
W1:200.9  And that is all there is to what appears to be a world apart from  God where bodies have reality.
W1:200.11 Today we seek no idols. Peace cannot be found in them. The peace of  God is ours, and only this will we accept and want. Peace be to us
W1:200.11  single purpose and companionship. For peace is union if it be of  God. We seek no further. We are close to home and draw still nearer
W1:200.12 There is no peace except the peace of  God, and I am glad and thankful it is so.
W1:R6.1  and to the world from every form of bondage and invite the memory of  God to come again.
W1:R6.4 I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:R6.6  a quickened pace along a shorter path to the serenity and peace of  God. We merely close our eyes and then forget all that we thought we
W1:200.1  but is my brother. I am blessed with oneness with the universe and  God, my Father, One Creator of the whole that is my Self, forever one
W1:200.1  forever one with me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:202.1  would I choose to stay an instant more where I do not belong, when  God Himself has given me His Voice to call me home? I am not a body.
W1:202.1  Voice to call me home? I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:203.1 [183] I call upon God's Name and on my own. The Name of  God is my deliverance from every thought of evil and of sin, because
W1:203.1  my own as well as His. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:204.1 [184] The Name of  God is my inheritance. God's Name reminds me that I am His Son, not
W1:204.1  unbound by laws which rule the world of sick illusions, free in  God, forever and forever one with Him. I am not a body. I am free.
W1:204.1  forever one with Him. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:205.1 [185] I want the peace of  God. The peace of God is everything I want. The peace of God is my
W1:205.1 [185] I want the peace of God. The peace of  God is everything I want. The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of
W1:205.1  peace of God. The peace of God is everything I want. The peace of  God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I seek, my
W1:205.1  I am not at home. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:206.1  of the world depends on me. I am entrusted with the gifts of  God because I am His Son. And I would give His gifts where He
W1:206.1  intended them to be. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:207.1  boundless Love for me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:208.1 [188] The peace of  God is shining in me now. I will be still and let the earth be still
W1:208.1  along with me. And in that stillness, we will find the peace of  God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to God Himself. I am not
W1:208.1  find the peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to  God Himself. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God
W1:208.1  to God Himself. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:209.1 [189] I feel the Love of  God within me now. The Love of God is what created me. The Love of
W1:209.1 [189] I feel the Love of God within me now. The Love of  God is what created me. The Love of God is everything I am. The Love
W1:209.1  God within me now. The Love of God is what created me. The Love of  God is everything I am. The Love of God proclaimed me as His Son. The
W1:209.1  is what created me. The Love of God is everything I am. The Love of  God proclaimed me as His Son. The Love of God within me sets me free.
W1:209.1  I am. The Love of God proclaimed me as His Son. The Love of  God within me sets me free. I am not a body. I am free. For I am
W1:209.1  me sets me free. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:210.1 [190] I choose the joy of  God instead of pain. Pain is my own idea. It is not a thought of God,
W1:210.1  of God instead of pain. Pain is my own idea. It is not a thought of  God, but one I thought apart from Him and from His Will. His Will is
W1:210.1  of what I made. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:211.1 [191] I am the holy Son of  God Himself. In silence and in true humility, I seek God's glory to
W1:211.1  He created as my Self. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:212.1 [192] I have a function  God would have me fill. I seek the function that would set me free
W1:212.1  me free from all the vain illusions of the world. Only the function  God has given me can offer freedom. Only this I seek, and only this
W1:212.1  will I accept as mine. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:213.1 [193] All things are lessons  God would have me learn. A lesson is a miracle which God offers to me
W1:213.1  are lessons God would have me learn. A lesson is a miracle which  God offers to me in place of thoughts I made that hurt me. What I
W1:213.1  and forget my own. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:214.1 [194] I place the future in the hands of  God. The past is gone; the future is not yet. Now am I freed from
W1:214.1  is gone; the future is not yet. Now am I freed from both. For what  God gives can only be for good. And I accept but what He gives as
W1:214.1  as what belongs to me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:215.1  me the way to go. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:216.1  will be given me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:217.1  my thanks are due? I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:218.1  glory and be glad. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:219.1  forever as His Son. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W1:220.1 [200] There is no peace except the peace of  God. Let me not wander from the way of peace, for I am lost on other
W1:220.1  me follow Him Who leads me home, and peace is certain as the Love of  God. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
W1:220.1  as the Love of God. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as  God created me.
W2:I.2  be merely a beginning. For we wait in quiet expectation for our  God and Father. He has promised He will take the final step Himself.
W2:I.2  Nor will we forget our hourly remembrance in between, calling to  God when we have need of Him as we are tempted to forget our goal.
W2:I.3  remaining holy instants which conclude the year that we have given  God. We say some simple words of welcome and expect our Father to
W2:I.8  holy year which we have spent together in the search for truth and  God, Who is its one Creator. We have found the way He chose for us
W2:I.9 We had a wish that  God would fail to have the Son whom He created for Himself. We wanted
W2:I.9  would fail to have the Son whom He created for Himself. We wanted  God to change Himself and be what we would make of Him. And we
W2:I.9  is all undone, and we no longer think illusions true. The memory of  God is shimmering across the wide horizons of our minds. A moment
W2:I.10  final section we will come to understand that we need only call to  God and all temptations disappear. Instead of words, we need but feel
W2:WF.1  lets it go. What then is free to take its place is now the Will of  God.
W2:WF.5  He has forgiven you already, for such is His function given Him by  God. Now must you share His function and forgive whom He has saved,
W2:WF.5  saved, whose sinlessness He sees, and whom He honors as the Son of  God.
W2:221.2 Now do we wait in quiet.  God is here because we wait together. I am sure that He will speak to
W2:222.1  God is with me. He is my Source of life, the life within, the air I
W2:223.1 I was mistaken when I thought I lived apart from  God, a separate entity which moved in isolation, unattached, and
W2:227.2  our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. The Son of  God this day lays down his dreams. The Son of God this day comes home
W2:227.2  left. The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The Son of  God this day comes home again, released from sin and clad in
W2:230.1  do I remain. It is not given me to change my Self. How merciful is  God my Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever. Now
W2:WS.1 Salvation is a promise made by  God that you would find your way to Him at last. It cannot but be
W2:WS.3  And what they hid is now revealed—an altar to the holy Name of  God whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness
W2:WS.3  with the gifts of your forgiveness laid before it and the memory of  God not far behind.
W2:WS.4  there is no sorrow, for it holds a hint of all the glory given us by  God. The grass is pushing through the soil, the trees are budding
W2:234.1  unified as one. Nothing has ever happened to disturb the peace of  God the Father and the Son. This we accept as wholly true today.
W2:235.1  forever in His arms. I am the Son He loves. And I am saved because  God in His mercy wills it so.
W2:236.1  which I alone can rule. And thus I set it free to do the Will of  God.
W2:237.1  the day. I bring the world the tidings of salvation that I hear as  God my Father speaks to me. And I behold the world that Christ would
W2:237.2  is my eyes today, and His the ears which listen to the Voice of  God today. Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your Son and my
W2:240.1  of yourself. Let us not be deceived today. We are the Son of  God. There is no fear in us, for we are each a part of Love Itself.
W2:WIW.2 The world was made as an attack on  God. It symbolizes fear. And what is fear except love's absence? Thus
W2:WIW.2  except love's absence? Thus the world was meant to be a place where  God could enter not and where His Son could be apart from Him. Here
W2:WIW.4  away from truth, it can be redirected. Sounds become the call of  God. And all perception can be given a new purpose by the One Whom
W2:WIW.4  God. And all perception can be given a new purpose by the One Whom  God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His light and see the world
W2:242.1  And He is glad to make no choices for me but the ones that lead to  God. This day I give to Him, for I would not delay my coming home,
W2:243.1  make. Thus do I free myself and what I look upon, to be in peace as  God created us.
W2:244.2  in truth. No storms can come into the hallowed haven of our home. In  God are we secure. For what can come to threaten God Himself or make
W2:244.2  of our home. In God are we secure. For what can come to threaten  God Himself or make afraid what will forever be a part of Him?
W2:245.2  message that we have received. And thus we come to hear the Voice of  God, Who speaks to us as we relate His Word, Whose Love we recognize
W2:246.1 Let me not think that I can find the way to  God if I have hatred in my heart. Let me not try to hurt God's Son
W2:248.1  I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy Son of  God. Now am I ready to accept him back as God created him, and as he
W2:248.1  lies about the holy Son of God. Now am I ready to accept him back as  God created him, and as he is.
W2:249.1  into the Light that it reflects. And so the journey which the Son of  God began has ended in the Light from Which he came.
W2:250.1 Let me behold the Son of  God today and witness to his glory. Let me not try to obscure the
W2:WIS.3  is evil; timelessness must have an end; eternal life must die. And  God Himself has lost the Son He loves, with but corruption to
W2:WIS.4  And yet what sin perceives is but a childish game. The Son of  God may play he has become a body, prey to evil and to guilt, with
W2:WIS.5 How long, oh Son of  God, will you maintain the game of sin? Shall we not put away these
W2:WIS.5  Would you still hold return to Heaven back? How long, oh holy Son of  God, how long?
W2:252.1  burning impulses which move the world but from the boundless Love of  God Himself. How far beyond this world my Self must be, and yet how
W2:252.1  this world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close to  God!
W2:254.2  They are silent now. And in the stillness, hallowed by His Love,  God speaks to us and tells us of our will, as we have chosen to
W2:255.1  not seem to me that I can choose to have but peace today. And yet my  God assures me that His Son is like Himself. Let me this day have
W2:256.1 The way to  God is through forgiveness here. There is no other way. If sin had
W2:256.1  asleep in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him whom  God created sinless? Here we can but dream. But we can dream we have
W2:256.1  all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today.  God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds return
W2:257.1  unify our thoughts and actions meaningfully and achieve only what  God would have us do today.
W2:258.1  overlook all little, senseless aims and to remember that our goal is  God. His memory is hidden in our minds, obscured but by our pointless
W2:258.1  while the toys and trinkets of the world are sought instead?  God is our only goal, our only Love. We have no aim but to remember
W2:259.1 Sin is the only thought that makes the goal of  God seem unobtainable. What else could blind us to the obvious and
W2:WIB.1 The body is a fence the Son of  God imagines he has built to separate parts of his Self from other
W2:WIB.4  goal of Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of hell. The Son of  God extends his hand to reach his brother and to help him walk along
W2:261.1  danger, nor attempt to find my peace in murderous attack. I live in  God. In Him I find my refuge and my strength. In Him is my Identity.
W2:262.1  our Source, eternally united in Your Love, eternally the holy Son of  God.
W2:263.2  walk together to our Father's house as brothers and the holy Sons of  God.
W2:266.2  acknowledging our Self in each of us, united in the holy Love of  God. How many saviors God has given us! How can we lose the way to
W2:266.2  Self in each of us, united in the holy Love of God. How many saviors  God has given us! How can we lose the way to Him, when He has filled
W2:267.1 Surrounding me is all the life that  God created in His Love. It calls to me in every heartbeat and in
W2:267.1  me peace; each breath infuses me with strength. I am a messenger of  God, directed by His Voice, sustained by Him in love, and held
W2:269.2  Him Whose Self is ours. We are one because of Him Who is the Son of  God, of Him Who is our own Identity.
W2:270.2  sight, we offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son whom  God created whole, the holy Son whom God created one.
W2:270.2  through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole, the holy Son whom  God created one.
W2:WIC.1  Him. He is the Self we share, uniting us with one another and with  God as well. He is the Thought Which still abides within the Mind
W2:WIC.1  in which He was created. He abides unchanged forever in the Mind of  God.
W2:WIC.2 Christ is the link that keeps you one with  God and guarantees that separation is no more than an illusion of
W2:WIC.3 Home of the Holy Spirit and at home in  God alone, does Christ remain at peace within the Heaven of your holy
W2:WIC.4  into truth. He will exchange them for the final dream which  God appointed as the end of dreams. For when forgiveness rests upon
W2:WIC.4  forgiveness rests upon the world and peace has come to every Son of  God, what could remain to keep things separate, for what remains to
W2:WIC.5  or of time, or anything except the holy Self, the Christ Whom  God created as His Son.
W2:272.2  in a dream, we turn aside and ask ourselves if we, the Sons of  God, could be content with dreams when Heaven can be chosen just as
W2:273.1  but tell our minds with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of  God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself
W2:273.1  peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that  God Himself has given to His Son.
W2:275.1 Let us today attend the Voice of  God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no more true today than any
W2:275.1  hear and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the Voice of  God tells us of things we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart.
W2:275.1  all things are protected. And in this the healing of the Voice of  God is found.
W2:276.1 What is the Word of  God? “My Son is pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did God become the
W2:276.1  the Word of God? “My Son is pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did  God become the Father of the Son He loves, for thus was he created.
W2:277.2  in any laws idolatry would make to hide the freedom of the Son of  God. He is not bound except by his beliefs. Yet what he is, is far
W2:277.2  Father's Son. And he cannot be bound unless God's Truth can lie and  God can will that He deceive Himself.
W2:279.1  Should I wait in chains which have been severed for release, when  God is offering me freedom now?
W2:280.1 Whom  God created limitless is free. I can invent imprisonment for him, but
W2:280.1  for him, but only in illusions, not in truth. No Thought of  God has left its Father's Mind. No Thought of God is limited at all.
W2:280.1  truth. No Thought of God has left its Father's Mind. No Thought of  God is limited at all. No Thought of God but is forever pure. Can I
W2:280.1  Father's Mind. No Thought of God is limited at all. No Thought of  God but is forever pure. Can I lay limits on the Son of God, whose
W2:280.1  Thought of God but is forever pure. Can I lay limits on the Son of  God, whose Father willed that he be limitless and like Himself in
W2:WIHS.1  and dreams, perception leads to knowledge through the grace that  God has given Him, to be His gift to everyone who turns to Him for
W2:WIHS.4 From knowledge, where He has been placed by  God, the Holy Spirit calls to you to let forgiveness rest upon your
W2:WIHS.5  beloved Son. Would you refuse to take the function of completing  God when all He wills is that you be complete?
W2:282.1  world. This the decision not to be insane and to accept myself as  God Himself, my Father and my Source, created me. This the
W2:282.1  in the joy of life. And this the choice to recognize the Self Whom  God created as the Son He loves and Who remains my one Reality.
W2:283.1 Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this I call the Son of  God. Yet is creation as it always was, for Your creation is
W2:283.1  loves. His holiness remains the light of Heaven and the Love of  God. Is not what is beloved of You secure? Is not the light of Heaven
W2:283.2 Now are we one in shared Identity, with  God our Father as our only Source and everything created part of us.
W2:285.1 Today I wake with joy, expecting but the happy things of  God to come to me. I ask but them to come and realize my invitation
W2:286.2  it to a wholly certain goal. Today we will not doubt the end which  God Himself has promised us. We trust in Him and in our Self, Who
W2:287.1  for happiness? What gift could I prefer before the peace of  God? What treasure would I seek and find and keep that can compare
W2:WIRW.5  has served His purpose. Now He waits but that one instant more for  God to take His final step, and time has disappeared, taking
W2:WIRW.5  be Itself. That instant is our goal, for it contains the memory of  God. And as we look upon a world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us
W2:291.1  recognize it is a holiness in which we share; it is the holiness of  God Himself.
W2:294.1 I am a Son of  God. And can I be another thing as well? Did God create the mortal
W2:294.1 I am a Son of God. And can I be another thing as well? Did  God create the mortal and corruptible? What use has God's beloved Son
W2:296.2  to persuade the world through us to seek and find the easy path to  God!
W2:298.1  journeys, mad careers, and artificial values. I accept instead what  God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I will be saved,
W2:298.2  sanctuary and escape from everything that would obscure my love for  God, my Father, and His holy Son.
W2:299.1 My holiness is far beyond my own ability to understand or know. Yet  God my Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our
W2:WISC.1 Christ's Second Coming, which is sure as  God, is merely the correction of mistakes and the return of sanity.
W2:WISC.3  in one last summary that will extend beyond itself and reaches up to  God. The Second Coming is the time in which all minds are given to
W2:WISC.3  be returned to Spirit in the name of true creation and the Will of  God.
W2:WISC.4  equality is Christ restored as one Identity, in which all Sons of  God acknowledge that they all are one. And God the Father smiles upon
W2:WISC.4  in which all Sons of God acknowledge that they all are one. And  God the Father smiles upon His Son, His one creation and His only joy.
W2:WISC.5  God's Will and join together in its holy light. Behold, the Son of  God is one in us, and we can reach our Father's Love through him.

W2:WAI.4  from every thought of sin. Ours are the ears that hear the Voice of  God proclaim the world as sinless. Ours the minds which join together
W2:WAI.5 We are the holy messengers of  God who speak for Him, and carrying His Word to everyone whom He has
W2:WAI.5  came and which we seek to serve. We bring glad tidings to the Son of  God, who thought he suffered. Now is he redeemed. And as he sees the
W2:WAI.5  open before him, he will enter in and disappear into the Heart of  God.
W2:351.1  And if I see him sinful, I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of  God, alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this perception is

W2:358.1  for God, and so You speak for me. And what You give me comes from  God Himself. Your Voice, my Father, then is mine as well, and all I

M:1.3 There is a course for every teacher of  God. The form of the course varies greatly. So do the particular

M:2.2  was established and completed simultaneously, for the Will of  God is entirely apart from time. So is all reality, being of Him. The
M:2.5  purposes. The relationship is holy because of that purpose, and  God has promised to send His Spirit into any holy relationship. In

M:3.1  the Son of God as sinless. There is no one from whom a teacher of  God cannot learn, so there is no one whom he cannot teach. However,
M:3.1  plan includes very specific contacts to be made for each teacher of  God. There are no accidents in salvation. Those who are to meet will
M:3.3  of one permits the illusion of the other. In time, the teacher of  God seems to begin to change his mind about the world with the single

M:3.5  of the teachers who falter and may even seem to fail. No teacher of  God can fail to find the Help he needs.
M:4.1  Nor at the beginning stages of their functioning as teachers of  God have they as yet acquired the deeper characteristics that will
M:4.1  deeper characteristics that will establish them as what they are.  God gives special gifts to His teachers because they have a special

M:4.2 All differences among the Sons of  God are temporary. Nevertheless, in time it can be said that the
M:4.2  Nevertheless, in time it can be said that the advanced teachers of  God have the following characteristics:
M:4.3  because cause and effect are never separated. The teachers of  God have trust in the world, because they have learned it is not
M:4.3  keeps all things safe. It is through this Power that the teachers of  God look on a forgiven world.
M:4.4  place his faith in the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts of  God are laid before him? What is it that induces them to make the
M:4.5  circumstances. These changes are always helpful. When the teacher of  God has learned that much, he goes on to the second stage.
M:4.6 Next, the teacher of  God must go through a “period of sorting-out.” This is always
M:4.7 The third stage through which the teachers of  God must go can be called a “period of relinquishment.” If this is
M:4.7  the desirable, it will engender enormous conflict. Few teachers of  God escape this distress entirely. There is, however, no point in
M:4.7  the period of overlap is apt to be one in which the teacher of  God feels called upon to sacrifice his own best interests on behalf
M:4.8  of settling down.” This is a quiet time in which the teacher of  God rests a while in reasonable peace. Now he consolidates his
M:4.8  learned. Its potential is literally staggering, and the teacher of  God is now at the point in his progress at which he sees in it his
M:4.8  do.” How simple is the obvious! And how easy to do! The teacher of  God needs this period of respite. He has not yet come as far as he
M:4.9  stage is indeed a “period of unsettling.” Now must the teacher of  God understand that he did not really know what was valuable and what
M:4.12 The peace of mind which the advanced teachers of  God experience is largely due to their perfect honesty. It is only
M:4.12  self-deception is dishonesty. There is no challenge to a teacher of  God. Challenge implies doubt, and the trust on which God's teachers
M:4.12  unchanging and unchangeable beyond appearances, and for the Son of  God and his Creator. How could they not succeed? They choose in
M:4.13  apart? Judgment destroys honesty and shatters trust. No teacher of  God can judge and hope to learn.
M:4.14  of God's curriculum and its replacement by insanity. No teacher of  God but must learn—and fairly early in his training—that
M:4.17  joy comes from their understanding Who created them. And does what  God created need defense? No one can become an advanced teacher of
M:4.17  God created need defense? No one can become an advanced teacher of  God until he fully understands that defenses are but the foolish
M:4.17  and more powerful its defenses seem to be. Yet when the teacher of  God finally agrees to look past them, he finds nothing was there.
M:4.17  are laid down. It is safety. It is peace. It is joy. And it is  God.
M:4.18 The term generosity has special meaning to the teacher of  God. It is not the usual meaning of the word; in fact, it is a
M:4.18  means “giving away” in the sense of “giving up.” To the teachers of  God, it means “giving away” in order to keep. This has been
M:4.18  of levels, the word means the exact opposite to the teachers of  God and to the world.
M:4.19 The teacher of  God is generous out of self-interest. This does not refer, however,
M:4.19  not refer, however, to the self the world speaks of. The teacher of  God does not want anything he cannot give away because he realizes it
M:4.19  pain? But he does want to keep for himself all things that are of  God and therefore for His Son. These are the things that belong to
M:4.20  and wait without anxiety. Patience is natural to the teacher of  God. All he sees is certain outcome, at a time perhaps unknown as
M:4.20  Perhaps it was not understood at the time. Even so, the teacher of  God is willing to reconsider all his past decisions if they are
M:4.21  Faithfulness is the teacher of God's trust in the word of  God to set all things right—not some but all. Generally, his
M:4.22  attributes of God's teachers. It implies acceptance of the word of  God and His definition of His Son. It is to them that faithfulness in
M:4.23  open-mindedness, perhaps the last of the attributes the teacher of  God acquires, is easily understood when its relation to forgiveness
M:4.23  invites Him to come in. As condemnation judges the Son of  God as evil, so open-mindedness permits him to be judged by the Voice
M:4.23  evil, so open-mindedness permits him to be judged by the Voice for  God on His behalf. As the projection of guilt upon him would send him
M:4.25  appear in this context. They would be most inappropriate here. What  God has given is so far beyond our curriculum that learning but
M:4.25  that is “true learning” in the world. It is given to the teachers of  God to bring the glad tidings of complete forgiveness to the world.
M:5.2  conceived in madness, for placing God's Son on his Father's throne.  God is seen as outside, fierce and powerful, eager to keep all power
M:5.3  represents the ultimate defiance in a direct form which the Son of  God is forced to recognize. It stands for all that he would hide from
M:5.3  himself, his weakness is his strength. Now has he given himself what  God would give to him and thus entirely usurped the throne of his
M:5.7  nor limit. The final outcome of this lesson is the remembrance of  God. What do guilt and sickness, pain, disaster, and all suffering
M:5.8  must change his mind in order to be healed, what does the teacher of  God do? Can he change the patient's mind for him? Certainly not. For
M:5.8  except to rejoice with them, for they have become teachers of  God with him. He has, however, a more specific function for those who
M:5.9  choice which they had forgotten. The simple presence of a teacher of  God is a reminder. His thoughts ask for the right to question what
M:5.9  benediction, not to heal the sick but to remind them of the remedy  God has already given them. It is not their hands that heal. It is
M:5.9  their hands that heal. It is not their voice that speaks the Word of  God. They merely give what has been given them. Very gently they call
M:5.9  call to their brothers to turn away from death. Behold, you Son of  God, what life can offer you. Would you choose sickness in place of
M:5.10 Not once do the advanced teachers of  God consider the forms of sickness in which their brother believes.
M:5.10  And they remind him that he has not made himself and must remain as  God created him. They recognize illusions can have no effect. The
M:6.1  Truth demonstrates illusions have no value. The teacher of  God has seen the correction of his errors in the mind of the patient,
M:6.2  given, it will be received. And what is time before the gifts of  God? We have referred many times in the text to the storehouse of
M:6.2  gifts. Not one is lost, for they can but increase. No teacher of  God should feel disappointed if he has offered healing and it does
M:6.4  missing, it would not be full. Yet is its fullness guaranteed by  God. What concern, then, can a teacher of God have about what becomes
M:6.4  its fullness guaranteed by God. What concern, then, can a teacher of  God have about what becomes of his gifts? Given by God to God, who in
M:6.4  can a teacher of God have about what becomes of his gifts? Given by  God to God, who in this holy exchange can receive less than
M:6.4  teacher of God have about what becomes of his gifts? Given by God to  God, who in this holy exchange can receive less than everything?
M:7.1  have already said it is, what is there to repeat? For a teacher of  God to remain concerned about the result of healing is to limit the
M:7.1  result of healing is to limit the healing. It is now the teacher of  God himself whose mind needs to be healed. And it is this he must
M:7.2 Whenever a teacher of  God has tried to be a channel for healing, he has succeeded. Should
M:7.2  the Holy Spirit so accepted it and so used it. Now the teacher of  God has only one course to follow. He must use his reason to tell
M:7.3 It is in this that the teacher of  God must trust. This is what is really meant by the statement that
M:7.3  worker is to accept the Atonement for himself. The teacher of  God is a miracle worker because he gives the gifts he has received.
M:7.3  received it. Thus is his doubt corrected. He thought the gifts of  God could be withdrawn. That was a mistake, but hardly one to stay
M:7.3  was a mistake, but hardly one to stay with. And so the teacher of  God can only recognize it for what it is and let it be corrected for
M:9.2 As the teacher of  God advances in his training, he learns one lesson with increasing
M:9.2  guide for action. This becomes easier and easier as the teacher of  God learns to give up his own judgment. The giving up of judgment,
M:10.2  anything. No more does “bad.” It is necessary for the teacher of  God to realize not that he should not judge, but that he cannot. In
M:10.5  it. And it was all illusion. Nothing more. Now can the teacher of  God rise up unburdened and walk lightly on. Yet it is not only this
M:10.6  But it is difficult indeed to try to keep it. The teacher of  God lays it down happily the instant he recognizes its cost. All of
M:10.6  the effects of his mistaken choice, have fallen from him. Teacher of  God, this step will bring you peace. Can it be difficult to want but
M:11.1  must ask. Certainly peace seems to be impossible. Yet the Word of  God promises other things that seem impossible, as well as this. His
M:11.1  rebirth is man's inheritance. The world you see cannot be the world  God loves, and yet His Word assures us that He loves the world. God's
M:11.2  This time, ask yourself whether your judgment or the Word of  God is more likely to be true. For they say different things about
M:11.2  things so opposite that it is pointless to try to reconcile them.  God offers the world salvation; your judgment would condemn it. God
M:11.2  God offers the world salvation; your judgment would condemn it.  God says there is no death; your judgment sees but death as the
M:11.3  and devoid of sense, yet out of which no way seems possible— God has sent His Judgment to answer yours. Gently His Judgment
M:11.3  it is not possible and can never be possible. But in the Judgment of  God, what is reflected here is only peace.
M:11.4  on it in joyous answer. Peace now belongs here, because a thought of  God has entered. What else but a thought of God turns hell to Heaven
M:11.4  because a thought of God has entered. What else but a thought of  God turns hell to Heaven merely by being what it is? The earth bows
M:12.1  One, sanctified and redeemed, becomes the Self Who is the Son of  God. He who was always wholly spirit now no longer sees Himself as a
M:12.1  Thoughts to still deluded minds. He is forever One, because He is as  God created Him. He has accepted Christ, and He is saved.
M:12.2 Thus does the son of man become the Son of  God. It is not really a change; it is a change of mind. Nothing
M:12.2  alters, but everything internal now reflects only the Love of  God. God can no longer be feared, for the mind sees no cause for
M:12.2  alters, but everything internal now reflects only the Love of God.  God can no longer be feared, for the mind sees no cause for
M:12.2  need. Yet being joined in one purpose, and one they share with  God, how could they be separate from each other? What does it matter
M:12.2  in many forms? Their minds are one; their joining is complete. And  God works through them now as One, for that is what they are.
M:12.4  this understanding will come the recognition in this new teacher of  God of what the body's purpose really is; the only use there really
M:12.4  unity come in, and what is one is recognized as one. The teachers of  God appear to share the illusion of separation, but because of what
M:12.5  and being weak, it suffers and it dies. Use it to bring the Word of  God to those who have it not, and the body becomes holy. Because it
M:12.5  which are responsible for the body's condition. Yet the teacher of  God does not make this decision alone. To do that would be to give
M:13.6  always means the giving up of what you want. And what, oh teacher of  God, is it that you want? You have been called by God, and you have
M:13.6  oh teacher of God, is it that you want? You have been called by  God, and you have answered. Would you now sacrifice that Call? Few
M:13.7  up Heaven partially. You cannot be a little bit in hell. The Word of  God has no exceptions. It is this that makes it holy and beyond the
M:13.7  it holy and beyond the world. It is its holiness that points to  God. It is its holiness that makes you safe. It is denied if you
M:13.7  you attack any brother for anything. For it is here the split with  God occurs. A split that is impossible. A split that cannot happen.
M:13.8 Teacher of  God, do not forget the meaning of sacrifice, and remember what each
M:13.8  what each decision you make must mean in terms of cost. Decide for  God, and everything is given you at no cost at all. Decide against
M:13.8  The world contains it not, but learn this course and it is yours.  God holds out His Word to you, for He has need of teachers. What
M:14.3  The illusion of orders of difficulty is an obstacle the teacher of  God must learn to pass by and leave behind. One sin perfectly
M:14.3  by and leave behind. One sin perfectly forgiven by one teacher of  God can make salvation complete. Can you understand this? No; it is
M:14.4  beyond its tiny reach. What, then, is the function of the teacher of  God in this concluding lesson? He need merely learn how to approach
M:14.5  is reflected. And now sit down in true humility and realize that all  God would have you do, you can do. Do not be arrogant and say you
M:15.1  across the world that everyone may hear this judgment of the Son of  God:
M:15.2  are you, eternal, free, and whole, at peace forever in the Heart of  God. Where is the world and where is sorrow now?
M:15.3 Is this your judgment on yourself, teacher of  God? Do you believe that this is wholly true? No, not yet, not yet.
M:15.3  this Final Judgment. What is your judgment on the world, teacher of  God? Have you yet learned to stand aside and hear the Voice of
M:15.4  judged, and judged in fairness and in honesty. There is no deceit in  God. His promises are sure. Only remember that. His promises have
M:16.1 To the advanced teacher of  God, this question is meaningless. There is no program, for the
M:16.1  and one which can be met that very day. For the advanced teacher of  God, then, this question is superfluous. It has been asked and
M:16.2  on their own part. What must they do to learn to give the day to  God? There are some general rules which do apply, although each one
M:16.3  How much time should be so spent? This must depend on the teacher of  God himself. He cannot claim that title until he has gone through the
M:16.4 This course is always practical. It may be that the teacher of  God is not in a situation which fosters quiet thought as he awakes.
M:16.4  this is so, let him but remember that he chooses to spend time with  God as soon as possible, and let him do so. Duration is not the major
M:16.4  hour with closed eyes and accomplish nothing. One can as easily give  God only an instant, and in that instant join with Him completely.
M:16.5  however, just before going to sleep is a desirable time to devote to  God. It sets your mind into a pattern of rest and orients you away
M:16.5  than a moment will do—in which you close your eyes and think of  God.
M:16.7 How simply and how easily does the day slip by for the teacher of  God who has accepted His protection! All that he did before in the
M:16.7  at different times and different places, because they are all one to  God. This is his safety. And he has no need for more than this.
M:16.8 Yet there will be temptations along the way the teacher of  God has yet to travel, and he has need of reminding himself
M:16.9  When all magic is recognized as merely nothing, the teacher of  God has reached the most advanced state. All intermediate lessons
M:16.10 There is no substitute for the Will of  God. In simple statement, it is to this fact that the teacher of God
M:16.10  of God. In simple statement, it is to this fact that the teacher of  God devotes his day. Each substitute he may accept as real can but

M:17.5  magic thought, by its mere presence, acknowledges a separation from  God. It states in the clearest form possible that the mind which
M:17.5  it believes it has a separate will that can oppose the Will of  God and succeed. That this can hardly be a fact is obvious. Yet that
M:17.5  so. And herein lies the birthplace of guilt. Who usurps the place of  God and takes it for himself now has a deadly “enemy.” And he must

M:17.7  in that thought has guilt already raised madness to the throne of  God Himself. And now there is no hope. Except to kill. Here is
M:17.8 Into this hopeless situation  God sends His teachers. They bring the light of hope from God
M:17.8  situation God sends His teachers. They bring the light of hope from  God Himself. There is a way in which escape is possible. It can be
M:17.9  Can nothing give rise to anger? Hardly so. Remember then, teacher of  God, that anger recognizes a reality that is not there, yet is the
M:17.9  you now. There is no death. This sword does not exist. The fear of  God is causeless. But His love is Cause of everything beyond all fear
M:18.1  only this is true correction—cannot be made until the teacher of  God has ceased to confuse interpretation with fact or illusion with
M:18.2  them, the Holy Spirit can now speak of the reality of the Son of  God. Now He can remind the world of sinlessness, the one unchanged,
M:18.2  sinlessness, the one unchanged, unchangeable condition of all that  God created. Now He can speak the Word of God to listening ears and
M:18.2  condition of all that God created. Now He can speak the Word of  God to listening ears and bring Christ's vision to the eyes that see.
M:18.4  a sin, nor has reality been taken from its throne by your mistakes.  God reigns forever, and His laws alone prevail upon you and upon the
M:18.5 In order to heal, it thus becomes essential for the teacher of  God to let all his own mistakes be corrected. If he senses even the
M:18.5  undoing of errors. When this has been accomplished, the teacher of  God becomes a miracle worker by definition. His sins have been
M:19.4  entirely on love—you have projected your injustice, attributing to  God the lens of warped perception through which you look. Now it
M:19.5  is now restored. What had been lost has now been found. The peace of  God descends on all the world and we can see. And we can see!
M:20.2 First, how can the peace of  God be recognized? God's peace is recognized at first by just one
M:20.3  forgiveness is the necessary condition for finding the peace of  God. More than this, given forgiveness there must be peace. For what
M:20.4 How is the peace of  God retained once it is found? Returning anger, in whatever form,
M:20.5  not life in which the problem lies. Life has no opposite, for it is  God. Life and death seem to be opposites, because you have decided
M:20.5  Forgive the world, and you will understand that everything which  God created cannot have an end, and nothing He did not create is
M:20.6 What is the peace of  God? No more than this—the simple understanding that His Will is
M:20.6  is no conflict, because His Will is yours. Now is the mighty Will of  God Himself His gift to you. He does not seek to keep it for Himself.
M:20.6  seek to keep your tiny, frail imaginings apart from Him? The Will of  God is one and all there is. This is your heritage. The universe

M:21.3  him, as he requests. Herein lie hell and Heaven. The sleeping Son of  God has but this power left to him. It is enough. His words do not
M:21.3  left to him. It is enough. His words do not matter. Only the Word of  God has any meaning, because it symbolizes that which has no human
M:21.4 Is the teacher of  God then to avoid the use of words in his teaching? No, indeed. There
M:21.4  words, being as yet unable to hear in silence. The teacher of  God must, however, learn to use words in a new way. Gradually, he
M:21.4  lesson “I will step back and let Him lead the way.” The teacher of  God accepts the words which are offered him and gives as he receives.
M:22.1  Accept Atonement, and you are healed. Atonement is the Word of  God. Accept His Word, and what remains to make sickness possible?
M:22.1  miracle has been accomplished. To forgive is to heal. The teacher of  God has taken accepting the Atonement for himself as his only
M:22.2 The progress of the teacher of  God may be slow or rapid, depending on whether he recognizes the
M:22.2  all situations. This, however, is comparatively rare. The teacher of  God may have accepted the function God has given him long before he
M:22.2  rare. The teacher of God may have accepted the function  God has given him long before he has learned all that his acceptance
M:22.2  What more was asked of him? And having done what was required, would  God withhold the rest?
M:22.3 That forgiveness is healing needs to be understood if the teacher of  God is to make progress. The idea that a body can be sick is a
M:22.3  can order a mind to do as it sees fit would merely take the place of  God and prove salvation is impossible. What then is left to heal? The
M:22.4  of all others as well. Nor is it at this level that the teacher of  God calls forth the miracle of healing. He overlooks the mind and
M:22.4  recognition has no special reference. It is true of all things that  God created. In it are all illusions healed.
M:22.5 When a teacher of  God fails to heal, it is because he has forgotten Who he is.
M:22.5  and distorted perception does not heal. Step back now, teacher of  God. You have been wrong. Lead not the way, for you have lost it.
M:22.6  of all forms of sickness. Not to believe this is to be unfair to  God and thus unfaithful to Him. A sick person perceives himself as
M:22.6  unfaithful to Him. A sick person perceives himself as separate from  God. Would you see him as separate from you? It is your task to heal
M:22.7 Who can limit the power of  God Himself? Who then can say who can be healed of what and what must
M:22.7  he receive Atonement, for he withdraws his judgment from the Son of  God, accepting him as God created him. No longer does he stand apart
M:22.7  for he withdraws his judgment from the Son of God, accepting him as  God created him. No longer does he stand apart from God, determining
M:22.7  accepting him as God created him. No longer does he stand apart from  God, determining where healing should be given and where it should be
M:22.7  should be given and where it should be withheld. Now can he say with  God, “This is my beloved Son, created perfect and forever so.”
M:23.2  to others, but never to this one. He has become the risen Son of  God. He has overcome death, because he has accepted life. He has
M:23.2  death, because he has accepted life. He has recognized himself as  God created him, and in so doing he has recognized all living things
M:23.2  him. There is now no limit on his power, because it is the Power of  God. So has his name become the name of God, for he no longer sees
M:23.2  because it is the Power of God. So has his name become the name of  God, for he no longer sees himself as separate from Him.

M:23.4  the gods you pray to. It becomes the shining symbol for the Word of  God, so close to what it stands for that the little space between the
M:23.4  mind. Remembering His name is to give thanks for all the gifts that  God has given you. And gratitude to God becomes the way in which He
M:23.4  thanks for all the gifts that God has given you. And gratitude to  God becomes the way in which He is remembered, for love cannot be far
M:23.4  for love cannot be far behind a grateful heart and thankful mind.  God enters easily, for these are the true conditions for your coming
M:23.6  laid on us. No one who has become a true and dedicated teacher of  God forgets his brothers. Yet what he can offer them is limited by

M:24.4  then they are likely to be merely controversial. The teacher of  God is therefore wise to step away from all such questions, for he
M:24.5 Does this mean that the teacher of  God should not believe in reincarnation himself or discuss it with

M:26.1  God indeed can be reached directly, for there is no distance between
M:26.1  them. Alone they are nothing. But in their joining is the Power of  God.
M:26.2 There are those who have reached  God directly, retaining no trace of worldly limits and remembering
M:26.2  And meanwhile they give all their gifts to the teachers of  God who look to them for help, asking all things in their name and in
M:26.3 Sometimes a teacher of  God may have a brief experience of direct union with God. In this
M:26.3  a teacher of God may have a brief experience of direct union with  God. In this world, it is almost impossible that this endure. It can,
M:26.3  happen, so be it as well. All worldly states must be illusory. If  God were reached directly in sustained awareness, the body would not
M:26.4  not, then, be too concerned with goals for which you are not ready.  God takes you where you are and welcomes you. What more could you
M:27.1  a certain way upon a certain path—all this is taken as the Will of  God. And no one asks if a benign Creator could will this.
M:27.2 In this perception of the universe as  God created it, it would not be possible to think of Him as loving.
M:27.2  today. Or if he waits, yet is the ending certain. Who loves such a  god knows not of love, because he has denied that life is real. Death
M:27.3 Death is the symbol of the fear of  God. His love is blotted out in the idea, which holds it from
M:27.3  The grimness of the symbol is enough to show it cannot co-exist with  God. It holds an image of the Son of God in which he is “laid to
M:27.3  to show it cannot co-exist with God. It holds an image of the Son of  God in which he is “laid to rest” in devastation's arms, where worms
M:27.3  things live because of death. Devouring is nature's “law of life.”  God is insane, and fear alone is real.
M:27.4  that may go on apart from what will die does not proclaim a loving  God nor re-establish any grounds for trust. If death is real for
M:27.4  is denied. No compromise in this is possible. There is either a  god of fear or One of Love. The world attempts a thousand compromises
M:27.4  acceptable to God's teachers because not one could be acceptable to  God. He did not make death, because He did not make fear. Both are
M:27.5  is firmly rooted in the belief that God's Son is a body. And if  God created bodies, death would indeed be real. But God would not be
M:27.5  a body. And if God created bodies, death would indeed be real. But  God would not be loving. There is no point at which the contrast
M:27.5  illusions becomes more sharply evident. Death is indeed the death of  God if He is Love. And now His own creation must stand in fear of
M:27.6  What can be born of death and still have life? But what is born of  God and still can die? The inconsistencies, the compromises, and the
M:27.6  to think love real are mindless magic, ineffectual and meaningless.  God is, and in Him all created things must be eternal. Do you not see
M:27.7 Teacher of  God, your one assignment could be stated thus: accept no compromise
M:27.7  the end of death? Nothing but this: the realization that the Son of  God is guiltless now and forever. Nothing but this. But do not let
M:28.1  the Holy Spirit's final dream. It is the recognition of the gifts of  God. It is the dream in which the body functions perfectly, having no
M:28.1  it is consummated and surpassed with this. It is the invitation to  God to take His final step. It is the relinquishment of all other
M:28.2  but gladly welcomed. Idols have disappeared, and the remembrance of  God shines unimpeded across the world. Christ's face is seen in every
M:28.3  reversal is accomplished. Nothing is left to contradict the Word of  God. There is no opposition to the truth. And now the truth can come
M:28.4  of everlasting things is now at hand. There is no death. The Son of  God is free. And in his freedom is the end of fear. No hidden places
M:28.5  set us free indeed, and we accept His holiness as ours, as it is. As  God created us, so will we be forever and forever, and we wish for
M:28.6  in His Final Judgment is restored the truth about the holy Son of  God. He is redeemed, for he has heard God's Word and understood its
M:28.6  with him, by his side as he prepares with them to meet his  God.
M:29.2  should attempt to answer these questions alone. Surely no teacher of  God has come this far without realizing that. The curriculum is
M:29.4  is to gain all power. And yet it is but a seeming paradox. As  God created you, you have all power. The image you made of yourself
M:29.5  not have is deceiving himself. Yet to accept the power given him by  God is but to acknowledge his Creator and accept His gifts. And His
M:29.5  given you when you need it. Prepare for this each morning, remember  God when you can throughout the day, ask the Holy Spirit's help when
M:29.6  remains attractive to you, He will respond with evil? Hardly! For  God has given Him the power to translate your prayers of the heart
M:29.6  an attack is a call for help. And He responds with help accordingly.  God would be cruel if He let your words replace His Own. A loving
M:29.7  all things are given you. Not in the future but immediately—now.  God does not wait, for waiting implies time and He is timeless.
M:29.7  and your fear of harm, your dreams of danger and selected “wrongs.”  God knows but His Son, and as he was created, so he is. In confidence
M:29.8 And now in all your doings be you blessed.  God turns to you for help to save the world. Teacher of God, His
M:29.8  you blessed. God turns to you for help to save the world. Teacher of  God, His thanks He offers you, and all the world stands silent in the
M:29.8  friendless. I give thanks for you and join your efforts on behalf of  God, knowing they are on my behalf as well and for all those who walk
M:29.8  knowing they are on my behalf as well and for all those who walk to  God with me.

Tx:7.66 Perceived without your part in it,  God's creation is perceived as weak, and those who see themselves as

Tx:7.68  This is not God's Will but yours. If your will is out of accord with  God's, you are willing without meaning. Yet because God's Will is

Tx:8.11 The ego wants to teach you that you want to oppose  God's Will. This unnatural lesson cannot be learned, but the attempt
Tx:8.13  is God. Yet He cannot conceive of God without you, because it is not  God's Will to be without you. When you have learned that your will is

Tx:8.32  cannot be recognized through the dominion of one will over another.  God's Sons are equal in will, all being the Will of their Father.

Tx:8.41  only illusions of another direction can obscure the one for which  God's Voice speaks in all of us. Never accord the ego the power to

Tx:8.46  There can be no question of its worth because its value lies in  God's sharing Himself with it and establishing its value forever.
Tx:8.47 Your function is to add to  God's treasure by creating yours. His Will to you is His Will for

Tx:8.55  lesson in communion, which has value until communion is. This is  God's way of making unlimited what you have limited. The Holy Spirit
Tx:8.65  promotes depression instead of joy, you cannot be listening to  God's joyous Teacher, and you must be learning amiss. To see a body
Tx:8.67 Joy is unified purpose, and unified purpose is only  God's. When yours is unified, it is His. Interfere with His purpose,
Tx:8.87  not my name alone, for ours is a shared identification. The name of  God's Son is one, and you are enjoined to do the works of love,
Tx:8.94  of yourselves, the Holy Spirit must remind you that this is not  God's Will because it is not yours. There is no difference between
Tx:8.94  it is not yours. There is no difference between your will and  God's. If you did not have split minds, you would recognize that
Tx:8.96  only safety. Your will is your salvation because it is the same as  God's. The separation is nothing more than the belief that it is
Tx:8.97 No mind can believe that its will is stronger than  God's. If, then, a mind believes that its will is different from His,
Tx:8.97  from His, it can only decide either that there is no God or that  God's Will is fearful. The former accounts for the atheist and the
Tx:8.99  himself. This recognition is the recognition that his will and  God's are one. In the presence of truth, there are no unbelievers and
Tx:8.105 Remember, then, that  God's Will is already possible and nothing else will ever be. This is
Tx:8.112  for you alone? Could you hear His answer except as He answers all of  God's Sons? Hear of your brother what you would have me hear of you,
Tx:8.113  to me through you. If you would hear me, hear my brothers in whom  God's Voice speaks. The answer to all prayers lies in them. You will
Tx:8.114  This is not going beyond yourself but toward yourself. Hear only  God's Answer in His Sons, and you are answered.
Tx:8.117  to get much for little is to believe that you can bargain with God.  God's laws are always fair and perfectly consistent. By giving you
Tx:8.119 Because I will to know myself, I see you as  God's Son and my brother.
Tx:9.20 The ego's plan for forgiveness is far more widely used than  God's. This is because it is undertaken by unhealed healers and is
Tx:9.34  create as He did, and your dissociation will not alter this. Neither  God's light nor yours is dimmed because you do not see. Because the
Tx:9.35  the witnesses to your reality, as you were created witnesses to  God's. Yet when the Sonship comes together and accepts its oneness,
Tx:9.37  This cannot mean anything to you, however, until you remember  God's open arms and finally know His open mind. Like Him, you are
Tx:9.37  world has to offer. Everything else would be totally meaningless.  God's meaning is incomplete without you, and you are incomplete
Tx:9.38  God's Will is your salvation. Would He not have given you the means
Tx:9.51 The ego is immobilized in the presence of  God's grandeur, because His grandeur establishes your freedom. Even
Tx:9.53  despair, and therefore you cannot want the ego. Your grandeur is  God's answer to the ego because it is true. Littleness and grandeur
Tx:9.57  value, would not have it so, and so it is not so. Your value is in  God's Mind and therefore not in yours alone. To accept yourself as
Tx:9.57  it means that you believe your evaluation of yourself is truer than  God's.
Tx:9.58 Yet if truth is indivisible, your evaluation of yourself must be  God's. You did not establish your value, and it needs no defense.
Tx:9.59  in the world can take this responsibility from you. You can violate  God's laws in your imagination, but you cannot escape from them. They
Tx:9.60  except the ephemeral, and how can the ephemeral be real if you are  God's only creation, and He created you eternal? Your holy will
Tx:9.71  not what you are. Your denial of reality precludes the acceptance of  God's gift, because you have accepted something else in its place. If
Tx:9.72  attack, you must have forgotten what you are. And if your reality is  God's, when you attack you are not remembering Him. This is not
Tx:9.79  created because of the calm knowledge that each one is part of Him.  God's Son knows no idols, but he does know his Father. Health in this
Tx:9.79  become sick, but my value of you can heal you because the value of  God's Son is one. When I said, “My peace I give unto you,” I meant
Tx:9.81 I do not bring  God's message with deception, and you will learn this as you learn
Tx:9.84  accept him, you will bow down and worship him because he was made as  God's replacement. He is the belief that you can choose which god is
Tx:9.85  God, and you are afraid of him, because he cannot be reconciled with  God's Will. If you attack him, you will make him real to you. But if
Tx:9.87  the split is the sign that you have removed part of your mind from  God's Will, and this means it is out of control. To be out of control
Tx:9.88  God's laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace is His Will,
Tx:9.96 Sickness and death entered the Mind of  God's Son against His Will. The “attack on God” made His Son think he
Tx:9.103  waits for his return, for it was created as the dwelling place of  God's Son. You are not at home anywhere else or in any other
Tx:10.2  of perceived conflict, because the ego was made out of the wish of  God's Son to father Him. The ego, then, is nothing more than a
Tx:10.3  by projection, but God has created by extension. The cornerstone of  God's creation is you, for His thought system is light. Remember the
Tx:10.5  wills His Son to be and where he is. In whatever part of the Mind of  God's Son you restore this reality, you restore it to yourself. For
Tx:10.7  it was your creation, without you there would be an empty place in  God's Mind. Extension cannot be blocked, and it has no voids. It
Tx:10.10  there if it was given you because God did not will to be alone?  God's Mind cannot be lessened. It can only be increased, and
Tx:10.10  limit, and what it creates is not limited. To give without limit is  God's Will for you because only this can bring you the joy which is
Tx:10.12  This is not strange when you realize that to deny is to “not know.”  God's Will is that you are His Son. By denying this, you denied your
Tx:10.12  and therefore do not know what it is. The reason you must ask what  God's Will is in everything is merely because it is yours. You do not
Tx:10.12  but the Holy Spirit remembers it for you. Ask Him, therefore, what  God's Will is for you, and He will tell you yours. It cannot be too
Tx:10.13 The projection of the ego makes it appear as if  God's Will is outside yourself and therefore not yours. In this
Tx:10.13  and therefore not yours. In this interpretation, it is possible for  God's Will and yours to conflict. God then may seem to demand of you
Tx:10.13  Immortality is His Will for His Son and His Son's will for himself.  God's Son cannot will death for himself because His Father is Life
Tx:10.14  you cannot change this because it is immutable. It is immutable by  God's Will and yours, for otherwise His Will would not have been
Tx:10.14  His Will would not have been extended. You are afraid to know  God's Will because you believe it is not yours. This belief is your
Tx:10.15  For it is your will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so.  God's Will is that His Son be one, and united with Him in His
Tx:10.17  from your brother or in your own mind, teaches you that you are  God's Son. In every hurtful thought you hold, wherever you perceive
Tx:10.17  thought you hold, wherever you perceive it, lies the denial of  God's Fatherhood and your Sonship.
Tx:10.18  must be to fail to understand. You can heal only yourself, for only  God's Son needs healing. He needs it because he does not understand
Tx:10.23  hurt yourselves, you could never suffer in any way, for that is not  God's Will for His Son. Pain is not of Him, for He knows no attack
Tx:10.24  God's Son is indeed in need of comfort, for he knows not what he
Tx:10.26  abide with you on the way. But the dark journey is not the way of  God's Son. Walk in light, and do not see the dark companions, for
Tx:10.28  by the dark comforters, and never let them enter the Mind of  God's Son, for they have no place in His temple. When you are tempted
Tx:10.29 Only  God's Comforter can comfort you. In the quiet of His temple, He waits
Tx:10.29  for He Himself dwells there and abides in peace. You cannot enter  God's Presence with the dark companions beside you, but you also
Tx:10.31  that the Sonship is your salvation, for the Sonship is your Soul. As  God's creation, it is yours, and belonging to you, it is His. Your
Tx:10.32  deny the Father without believing that the Father has denied him?  God's laws hold only for your protection, and they never hold in
Tx:10.35  and as strong an ego defense as blaming others. You cannot enter  God's Presence if you attack His Son. When His Son lifts his voice in
Tx:10.36 Christ is at  God's altar, waiting to welcome His Son. But come wholly without
Tx:10.37 At  God's altar Christ waits for the restoration of Himself in you. God
Tx:10.50 If the ego's goal of autonomy could be accomplished,  God's purpose could be defeated, and this is impossible. Only by
Tx:10.50  According to the ego's teaching, its goal can be accomplished, and  God's purpose can not. According to the Holy Spirit's teaching, only
Tx:10.50  God's purpose can not. According to the Holy Spirit's teaching, only  God's purpose is accomplishment, and it is already accomplished.
Tx:10.51  accomplish its goal is happiness. But it is given you to know that  God's function is yours and happiness cannot be found apart from your
Tx:10.52 Upheld by fear, this is what the ego would have you believe. Yet  God's Son is not insane and cannot believe it. Let him but recognize
Tx:10.57  what He created. Their silence is the sign that they have beheld  God's Son, and in the Presence of Christ they need demonstrate
Tx:10.61  to limit what you see by narrow little beliefs which are unworthy of  God's Son. For until Christ comes into His own, the Son of God will
Tx:10.62  the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, for such is the nature of  God's Son as His Father created him.
Tx:10.63 Do not underestimate the power of the devotion of  God's Son nor the power of the god he worships over him. For he
Tx:10.65  not find peace until you have removed the nails from the hands of  God's Son and taken the last thorn from his forehead. The love of God
Tx:10.65  that I live in you. For the undoing of the crucifixion of  God's Son is the work of the redemption, in which everyone has a part
Tx:10.66  placed a crown of thorns upon your own head. Yet you cannot crucify  God's Son, for the Will of God cannot die. His Son has been redeemed
Tx:10.68  God's Son is saved. Bring only this awareness to the Sonship, and you
Tx:10.68  mine. There is no order of difficulty in miracles because all of  God's Sons are of equal value, and their equality is their oneness.
Tx:10.83  you. Believe that the truth is in me, for I know that it is in you.  God's Sons have nothing which they do not share. Ask for truth of any
Tx:10.83  answer in him, to give to anyone who asks it of him. Ask anything of  God's Son and His Father will answer you, for Christ is not deceived
Tx:10.84  Thought of His Father by which He was created. Be not deceived in  God's Son, for thereby you must be deceived in yourself. And being
Tx:10.85  simple request. What problems will not disappear in the presence of  God's answer? Ask, then, to learn of the reality of your brother
Tx:10.86  together as we live together and love together. Be not deceived in  God's Son, for he is one with himself and one with his Father. Love
Tx:10.87  offends you, you are offended in yourself and are condemning  God's Son, whom God condemneth not. Let the Holy Spirit remove all
Tx:10.87  whom God condemneth not. Let the Holy Spirit remove all offense of  God's Son against himself and perceive no one but through His
Tx:11.6  can you be helped. Deny him your help, and you will not perceive  God's answer to you. The Holy Spirit does not need your help in
Tx:11.7 How simple, then, is  God's plan for salvation. There is but one response to reality, for
Tx:11.8  but one need in yourself, you will be healed. For you will recognize  God's answer as you want it to be, and if you want it in truth, it
Tx:11.15  the way to remember God. For you forgot your brothers with Him, and  God's answer to your forgetting is but the way to remember.
Tx:11.30 If only the loving thoughts of  God's Son are the world's reality, the real world must be in his
Tx:11.39  goal He sets before you He will give you. For He will never deceive  God's Son, whom He loves with the love of the Father.
Tx:11.52  it is your will to learn aright, and nothing can oppose the Will of  God's Son. His learning is as unlimited as he is.
Tx:11.60  of knowledge. At the altar of God, the holy perception of  God's Son becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the
Tx:11.60  becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the Spirit of  God's Son shines in the Mind of the Father and becomes one with it.
Tx:11.71  have seen reality, for the reality of your mind is the loveliest of  God's creations. Coming only from God, its power and grandeur could
Tx:11.78  God's Son is as safe as his Father, for the Son knows his Father's
Tx:11.79  be seen is what the Holy Spirit sees. The definition of reality is  God's, not yours. He created it, and He knows what it is. You who
Tx:11.82  you have tried to interpose between your awareness and truth.  God's Son can be seen because his vision is shared. The Holy Spirit
Tx:11.83  world is a thing of despair, for it can never be. And you who share  God's Being with Him could never be content without reality. What God
Tx:11.86 The acceptance of guilt into the Mind of  God's Son was the beginning of the separation, as the acceptance of
Tx:11.87  attack would be salvation, and this is the ego's interpretation, not  God's. Only the world of guilt could demand this, for only the guilty
Tx:11.88 This world is a picture of the crucifixion of  God's Son. And until you realize that God's Son cannot be crucified,
Tx:11.88  picture of the crucifixion of God's Son. And until you realize that  God's Son cannot be crucified, this is the world you will see. Yet
Tx:11.88  Yet you will not realize this until you accept the eternal fact that  God's Son is not guilty. He deserves only love because he has given
Tx:11.89  Christ from your sight, for it is the denial of the blamelessness of  God's Son.
Tx:11.90  never was and can never be. Without guilt the ego has no life, and  God's Son is without guilt. As you look upon yourselves and judge
Tx:11.93  now, and the brightness of his purity shines untouched forever in  God's Mind. God's Son will always be as he was created. Deny your
Tx:11.93  the brightness of his purity shines untouched forever in God's Mind.  God's Son will always be as he was created. Deny your world and judge
Tx:11.94  Atonement for yourselves, you will realize that there is no guilt in  God's Son. And only as you look upon him as guiltless can you
Tx:11.94  condemn only yourself, and by so doing, you cannot know that you are  God's Son. You have denied the condition of his Being, which is his
Tx:11.95  to be without him. And so it has always been. Let the holiness of  God's Son shine away the cloud of guilt that darkens your mind, and
Tx:11.96  continuity is guaranteed. Yet the guarantee of your continuity is  God's, not the ego's. And immortality is the opposite of time, for
Tx:11.97  Accepting the guiltlessness of the Son of God as yours is therefore  God's way of reminding you of His Son and what he is in truth. For
Tx:11.99  without guilt, attack is impossible. You, then, are saved because  God's Son is guiltless. And being wholly pure, you are invulnerable.
Tx:12.3  that dark and secret place is the realization that you have betrayed  God's Son by condemning him to death. You do not even suspect this
Tx:12.3  urge is so intense that nothing short of the crucifixion of  God's Son can ultimately satisfy it. It does not know who the Son of
Tx:12.5  light of truth, let us recognize that you believe you have crucified  God's Son. You have not admitted to this “terrible” secret because
Tx:12.6  of the ego. When it was confronted with the real guiltlessness of  God's Son, it did attempt to kill him, and the reason it gave was
Tx:12.12  You would be willing to look even upon your savage wish to kill  God's Son if you did not believe that it saves you from love. For
Tx:12.14  insane belief system because you think you would be helpless in  God's Presence, and you would save yourself from His love because you
Tx:12.16  games you offer it can heal it, for here is the real crucifixion of  God's Son.
Tx:12.18  will welcome it, and it will be yours. For grandeur is the right of  God's Son, and no illusions can satisfy him or save him from what he
Tx:12.20  of Him what only such a father could give. And the peace of  God's Son was shattered, for he no longer understood his Father. He
Tx:12.43  what He is, He knows His Father. Beyond your darkest dreams, He sees  God's guiltless Son within you, shining in perfect radiance, which is
Tx:12.47  without condemnation upon the present. For the cloud which obscures  God's Son to you is the past, and if you would have it past and gone,
Tx:12.52  with them is your continuity, unbroken because it is wholly shared.  God's guiltless Son is only light. There is no darkness in him
Tx:12.52  light to the Creator of light. The holy light that shines forth from  God's Son is the witness that his light is of his Father.
Tx:12.57  In your name He has given for you and given you the gifts He gave.  God's Son is still as loving as his Father. Continuous with his
Tx:12.65 It is  God's Will that nothing touch His Son except Himself, and nothing
Tx:12.71  for His sight is ever on the journey's end which is His goal.  God's Son is not a traveler through outer worlds. However holy his
Tx:12.76  His Spirit. The sound of it will banish sorrow from the Mind of  God's most holy Son, where it cannot abide. Healing in time is
Tx:13.6  into the One Reality of God. The only miracle that ever was is  God's most holy Son, created in the One Reality that is his Father.
Tx:13.8  banner of His teaching, and as we grow in strength, the power of  God's Son will move in us, and we will leave no one untouched and no
Tx:13.29  vision, He would show you the perfect purity that is forever within  God's Son.
Tx:13.30 You cannot enter into real relationships with any of  God's Sons unless you love them all and equally. Love is not special.
Tx:13.39  you choose to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you,  God's Will is done. You will find the peace in which He has
Tx:13.43  Learn that even the darkest nightmare that disturbed the Mind of  God's sleeping Son holds no power over him. He will learn the lesson
Tx:13.44 Can  God's Son lose himself in dreams when God has placed within him the
Tx:13.51  which you made would be forever dark. The thoughts which the Mind of  God's Son projects have all the power that he gives to them. The
Tx:13.67  by making it manifest and sharing it. Let me bring peace to  God's Son from his Father.
Tx:13.70 No penalty is ever asked of  God's Son except by himself and of himself. Every chance given him to
Tx:13.73  can make decisions by yourself or for yourself alone. No thought of  God's Son can be separate or isolated in its effects. Every decision
Tx:13.76 Would you deny the truth of  God's decision and place your pitiful appraisal of yourself in place
Tx:13.76  place of His calm and unswerving value of His Son? Nothing can shake  God's conviction of the perfect purity of everything that He created,
Tx:13.79 Seek not to appraise the worth of  God's Son, whom He created holy, for to do so is to evaluate his
Tx:13.79  crime, which no one in this world or Heaven could possibly commit.  God's Spirit teaches only that the “sin” of self-replacement on the
Tx:13.89  your guilt arises from your failure to fulfill your function in  God's Mind with all of yours. Can you escape this guilt by failing to
Tx:14.5  God. Would you have all of it transformed into a radiant message of  God's Love, to share with all the lonely ones who denied Him with
Tx:14.6  but the message given to each to share is always the same— God's Son is guiltless. Each one teaches the message differently and
Tx:14.8 The inheritance of the Kingdom is the right of  God's Son, given him in his creation. Do not try to steal it from
Tx:14.11  most holy lesson, which seeks but to restore what is the right of  God's creation. From everyone whom you accord release from guilt, you
Tx:14.23  the light come streaming through. There are no hidden chambers in  God's temple. Its gates are open wide to greet His Son. No one can
Tx:14.35  with what you are. You cannot join with anything except reality.  God's glory and His Son's belong to you in truth. They have no
Tx:14.42  of the images of other gods must dim the mirror that would hold  God's reflection in it. Earth can reflect Heaven or hell; God or the
Tx:14.61  Child of light by Him to Whom God gave it. This lesson shines with  God's glory, for in it lies His power, which He shares so gladly with
Tx:14.63  in your perfect peace, then you can be sure that you have learned  God's lesson and not yours. Unless all this is true, there are dark
Tx:14.63  of perfect peace means but one thing: you think you do not will for  God's Son what His Father wills for him. Every dark lesson teaches
Tx:14.67  on which you can depend for miracles has been provided for you.  God's Son can make no needs His Father will not meet if he but turn
Tx:14.71  God's Son will always be indivisible. As we are held as one in God,
Tx:14.71  As we are held as one in God, so do we learn as one in Him.  God's Teacher is as like to His Creator as is His Son, and through
Tx:15.1  Yet that is what time is for—to learn just that and nothing more.  God's Teacher cannot be satisfied with His teaching until it
Tx:15.15  it to the Holy Spirit to use. He needs but very little to restore  God's whole power to you. He Who transcends time for you understands
Tx:15.15  not in time but in eternity. There never was an instant in which  God's Son could lose his purity. His changeless state is beyond time,
Tx:15.15  at all. For, caught in the single instant of the eternal sanctity of  God's creation, it is transformed into forever. Give the eternal
Tx:15.17  Teacher He has appointed to translate time into eternity. Blessed is  God's Teacher, Whose joy it is to teach God's holy Son his holiness.
Tx:15.17  into eternity. Blessed is God's Teacher, Whose joy it is to teach  God's holy Son his holiness. His joy is not contained in time. His
Tx:15.17  is for you because His joy is yours. Through Him you stand before  God's altar, where He gently translates hell into Heaven. For it is
Tx:15.21  as not separate. Fear not that you will not be given help in this.  God's Teacher and His lesson will support your strength. It is only
Tx:15.34  Forget not that his call is yours, and answer him with me.  God's power is forever on the side of His host, for it protects only
Tx:15.36  every plan that you have made for your salvation in exchange for  God's. His will content you, and there is nothing else that can bring
Tx:15.57  be a limited gift to you. In the holy instant, we share our faith in  God's Son because we recognize together that he is wholly worthy of
Tx:15.59  God for love, your call remains as strong. Nor do you think that, by  God's answer to him, your hope of answer is diminished. On the
Tx:15.78  invited and made welcome. And you understand that your completion is  God's, Whose only need is to have you be complete. For your
Tx:15.80  instant all that there is by desiring that it be all that there is.  God's Son has such great need of your willingness to strive for this
Tx:15.81  will never leave you and what you can never leave. The loneliness of  God's Son is the loneliness of his Father. Refuse not the awareness
Tx:15.83 The Holy Spirit is  God's attempt to free you of what He does not understand. And because
Tx:15.90  not Atonement in further separation. And limit not your vision of  God's Son to what interferes with his release and what the Holy
Tx:15.91  interference in communication, and your thoughts will be as free as  God's. As you let the Holy Spirit teach you how to use the body only
Tx:16.18 Do not interpret against  God's Love, for you have many witnesses which speak of it so clearly
Tx:16.25  He is both God and you, as you are God and Him together. For  God's answer to the separation added more to you than you tried to
Tx:16.26  to help you learn. Their gratitude has joined with yours and  God's to strengthen your faith in what you taught. For what you
Tx:16.42 If special relationships of any kind would hinder  God's completion, can they have value to you? What would interfere
Tx:16.42  with God must interfere with you. Only in time does interference in  God's completion seem to be possible. The bridge that He would carry
Tx:16.77 What God has given you is truly given and will be truly received. For  God's gifts have no reality apart from your receiving them. Your
Tx:17.9  taken by anything, is still the greatest accomplishment of all in  God's plan of Atonement. All else is learned, but this is given,
Tx:17.9  blessing of your forgiveness on it. And with this final blessing of  God's Son upon himself, the real perception, born of the new
Tx:17.12  leaf becomes a thing of wonder and a blade of grass a sign of  God's perfection. From the forgiven world, the Son of God is lifted
Tx:17.22  the spark before you to light your way and make it clear to you.  God's Son is one. Whom God has joined as one, the ego cannot break
Tx:17.28  them is clearly not to make happy. But the holy relationship shares  God's purpose, rather than aiming to make a substitute for it. Every
Tx:17.28  Every special relationship which you have made is a substitute for  God's Will and glorifies yours instead of His because of the delusion
Tx:17.29  was the ego's answer to the creation of the Holy Spirit, Who was  God's answer to the separation. For although the ego did not
Tx:17.30  have all your holy relationships been carefully preserved to serve  God's purpose for you.
Tx:18.9  and no substitute can keep you from each other. Your reality was  God's creation and has no substitute.
Tx:18.35  of your small willingness combined with the unlimited power of  God's Will. You have been wrong in thinking that it is needful to
Tx:18.36  to be ready to receive it. That is but to confuse your role with  God's. Atonement cannot come to those who think that they must first
Tx:18.84  off and separate, which the Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in  God's keeping and needs no guide. Yet this wild and delusional
Tx:19.33  be beyond the hope of healing. For there would be a power beyond  God's, capable of making another will which could attack His Will and
Tx:19.33  give His Son a will apart from His and stronger. And each part of  God's fragmented creation would have a different will, opposed to His
Tx:19.42  a little. And that little is a limit you would place upon the whole.  God's Will is One, not many. It has no opposition, for there is none

Tx:19.84  for God. Yet the retreat to death is not the end of conflict. Only  God's Answer is its end. The obstacle of your seeming love for death
Tx:19.107  death. So will we prepare together the way unto the resurrection of  God's Son and let him rise again to glad remembrance of his Father,
Tx:20.1  Let us not spend this holy week brooding on the crucifixion of  God's Son, but happily in the celebration of his release. For Easter
Tx:20.1  has no meaning. But a risen Christ becomes the symbol of the Son of  God's forgiveness of himself; the sign he looks upon himself as
Tx:20.27  His Son holy and kept him so. In your brother is the light of  God's eternal promise of your immortality. See him as sinless, and
Tx:20.36  would fulfill. As that was given you, so will its fulfillment be.  God's guarantee will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on
Tx:20.37 In this world,  God's Son comes closest to himself in a holy relationship. There he
Tx:20.37  can anything be lost, and never lost forever. So do the parts of  God's Son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the end of
Tx:20.70  Why do you think the body is a better home, a safer shelter for  God's Son? Why would you rather look on it than on the truth? How can
Tx:21.21 This is the Son of  God's replacement for his will, a mad revolt against what must
Tx:21.53  God's plan for your salvation could not have been established without
Tx:21.54  God's plan is simple—never circular and never self-defeating. He
Tx:21.84  be given only those who wish for constancy. The power of the Son of  God's desire remains the proof that he is wrong who sees himself as
Tx:21.88  give. For he does not desire it while he remains uncertain, and  God's giving must be incomplete unless it is received.
Tx:21.89 You who complete  God's Will and are His happiness, whose will is powerful as His, a
Tx:21.90 What is the holy instant but  God's appeal to you to recognize what He has given you? Here is the
Tx:22.8 What could be secret from  God's Will? Yet you believe that you have secrets. What could your
Tx:22.42  yet been given to everyone. For you are here to let it be received.  God's offer still is open, yet it waits acceptance. From you who have
Tx:22.61 Who can attack the Son of God and not attack his Father? How can  God's Son be weak and frail and easily destroyed unless his Father
Tx:23.5 Let us not let littleness lead  God's Son into temptation. His glory is beyond it, measureless and
Tx:23.48  indistinguishable from one another. So will they be to those who see  God's Son a body. For it is not the body that is like the Son's
Tx:23.49  the same can have no different function. Creation is the means for  God's extension, and what is His must be His Son's as well. Either
Tx:24.5  This takes many forms but always clashes with the reality of  God's creation and with the grandeur which He gave His Son. What else
Tx:24.22  What has been given him makes you complete, as it does him.  God's love gave you to him and him to you because He gave Himself.
Tx:24.27  Will of God. And thus it stands against yourself; your enemy, not  God's. So does it seem to split you off from God and make you
Tx:24.49  doubts about yourself may disappear before his holiness. See in him  God's creation. For in him, his Father waits for your acknowledgment
Tx:24.52 Forget not that the healing of  God's Son is all the world is for. That is the only purpose the Holy
Tx:24.52  in all temptation to perceive what is not there and all belief  God's Son can suffer pain because he sees himself as he is not.
Tx:24.56  is sacrament and benediction unto you. His errors cannot withhold  God's blessing from himself nor you who see him truly. His mistakes
Tx:24.57  you to save from condemnation along with you. And both shall see  God's glory in His Son, whom you mistook as flesh and bound to laws
Tx:24.62  child of earth on whom such love is lavished? What is this parody of  God's creation that takes the place of yours? And where are they, now
Tx:24.71  to offer to the “father” what he wants. Such is the travesty on  God's creation. For as His Son's creation gave Him joy and witness to
Tx:25.18 Accept  God's frame instead of yours, and you will see the masterpiece. Look
Tx:25.22  you may see as one what never has been separate nor apart from all  God's love as given equally.
Tx:25.23  offer it support. This is perception's form adapted to this world of  God's more basic law that love creates itself and nothing but itself.
Tx:25.24  God's laws do not obtain directly to a world perception rules, for
Tx:25.33  purpose in his own creation that his joy might be increased and  God's along with his.
Tx:25.51 It cannot be the “sinner's” wish for death is just as strong as is  God's Will for life. Nor can the basis of a world He did not make be
Tx:25.59 What is dependable except  God's Love? And where does sanity abide except in Him? The One Who
Tx:25.59  show you this in the alternative He chose especially for you. It is  God's Will that you remember this and so emerge from deepest mourning
Tx:25.59  perfect joy. Accept the function that has been assigned to you in  God's Own plan to show His Sons that hell and Heaven are different,
Tx:25.61  is sanity restored. And on this single rock of truth can faith in  God's eternal saneness rest in perfect confidence and perfect peace.
Tx:25.62 Remember all temptation is but this—a mad belief that  God's insanity would make you sane and give you what you want. That
Tx:25.67 Vengeance is alien to  God's Mind because He knows of justice. To be just is to be fair and
Tx:25.68  them dead with lightning bolts torn from the “fires” of Heaven by  God's own angry hand. They do believe that Heaven is hell and are
Tx:25.69  a messenger from hell sent from above in treachery and guile to work  God's vengeance on them in the guise of a deliverer and friend. What
Tx:25.72 In  God's own justice does He recognize all you deserve but understands
Tx:25.72  are not different. Because they are the same does mercy stand at  God's right hand and give the Son of God the power to forgive himself
Tx:25.75  yours. And so the Holy Spirit's special function has been fulfilled.  God's Son has found a witness unto his sinlessness and not his sin.
Tx:25.77  vengeance in all forms. The world deceives, but it cannot replace  God's justice with a version of its own. For only love is just and
Tx:25.77  never fear that you in your unfairness will deprive yourself of what  God's justice has allotted you.
Tx:25.79  to receive it disappears and you are willing it be given you.  God's justice warrants gratitude, not fear. Nothing you give is lost
Tx:25.79  preserved [for you] in Heaven, where all of the treasures given to  God's Son are kept for him and offered anyone who but holds out his
Tx:25.84 Salvation cannot seek to help  God's Son be more unfair than he has sought to be. If miracles, the
Tx:25.88 What is  God's belongs to everyone and is his due.
Tx:26.4  of him and you. What greater sacrifice could be demanded than that  God's Son perceive himself without his Father? And his Father be
Tx:26.4  any sacrifice is asked of anyone. What witness to the wholeness of  God's Son is seen within a world of separate bodies, however much he
Tx:26.7  have power to make of them what God willed not they be. In Heaven  God's Son is not imprisoned in a body nor is sacrificed in solitude
Tx:26.8  him by One Who knows His gifts can never suffer sacrifice and loss.  God's justice rests in gentleness upon His Son and keeps him safe
Tx:26.13  hurt be large or little. He makes but one judgment—that to hurt  God's Son must be unfair and therefore is not so.
Tx:26.39  illusions have the power to keep you in a place of death, a vault  God's Son entered an instant, to be instantly restored unto His
Tx:26.45  one illusion as your only friend. This is no friendship worthy of  God's Son, nor one with which he could remain content. Yet God has
Tx:26.49  answer to the world of sickness which applies to all its forms.  God's answer is eternal, though it operates in time where it is
Tx:26.50  God's answer lies where the belief in sin must be, for only there can
Tx:26.51  must yield with equal ease to what God gave as answer to them all.  God's Will is One. And any wish that seems to go against His Will has
Tx:26.52  Heaven be opposed by its own opposite, as real as it. Then would  God's Will be split in two and all creation be subjected to the laws
Tx:26.53  and serves to bring the joy this world denies to every aspect of  God's Son where sin was thought to rule. Perhaps you do not see the
Tx:26.55 Yet is this wish in line with Heaven's state and not in opposition to  God's Will. Although it falls far short of giving you your full
Tx:26.61  can merely shift effects to other forms. And this is not release.  God's Son could never be content with less than full salvation and
Tx:26.61  whole idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form is possible, then is  God's Son made incomplete and not himself. [Nor will he know himself
Tx:27.1  is total. If it could occur at all, it would entail the whole of  God's creation and the Father with the sacrifice of his beloved Son.
Tx:27.3  or in need of anything, you but accuse your brother of attack upon  God's Son. You hold a picture of your crucifixion before his eyes
Tx:27.20  in your sight and his. And laughter will replace your sighs because  God's Son remembered that he is God's Son.
Tx:27.20  will replace your sighs because God's Son remembered that he is  God's Son.
Tx:27.22  yourself and who you are. What is the separation but a wish to take  God's function from Him and deny that it is His? Yet if it is not
Tx:27.57  God's Witness sees no witnesses against the body. Neither does He
Tx:27.73  nor ever will. Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified  God's Son and made him think that he has lost his innocence, denied
Tx:28.16  and receives the gift that he has given Him. It is because he is  God's Son that he must also be a father who creates as God created
Tx:28.45  sand when it is recognized as being part of the completed picture of  God's Son! The forms the broken pieces seem to take mean nothing. For
Tx:28.46  not there. Your willingness to let illusions go is all the Healer of  God's Son requires. He will place the miracle of healing where the
Tx:28.58  Whoever says, “There is no gap between my mind and yours” has kept  God's promise, not his tiny oath to be forever faithful unto death.
Tx:28.60  and the Son is not the will of either, who have promised to be one.  God's promise is a promise to Himself, and there is no one who could
Tx:28.63  idly blamed for what it did not do. It serves to help the healing of  God's Son, and for this purpose it cannot be sick. It will not join a
Tx:28.66  lies not within itself alone. It is an ark of safety, resting on  God's promise that His Son is safe forever in Himself. What gap can
Tx:28.66  more in worth than the extent to which it can be used to liberate  God's Son unto his home. And with this holy purpose is it made a home
Tx:29.19 As “something” is the body asked to be  God's enemy, replacing what He is with littleness and limit and
Tx:29.23 There, in its place,  God's Witness has set forth the gentle way of kindness to God's Son.
Tx:29.23  its place, God's Witness has set forth the gentle way of kindness to  God's Son. Whom you forgive is given power to forgive you your
Tx:29.33  still abides in him, as it abides in you. Be very still and hear  God's Voice in him and let It tell you what his function is. He was
Tx:29.33  that you might be whole, for only the complete can be a part of  God's completion, Which created you.
Tx:29.35  God did not give in minds that can direct the hand to bless and lead  God's Son unto his Father's house. Would you not want to be a friend
Tx:29.39  not return. Where time has set an end is not where the eternal is.  God's Son can never change by what men made of him. He will be as he
Tx:29.40  it appears to be. Think not that you can set a goal unlike  God's purpose for you and establish it as changeless and eternal. You
Tx:29.42  and kill your body only if you think that it was made to crucify  God's Son. For even though it was a dream of death, you need not let
Tx:29.42  see it for. How lovely is the world whose purpose is forgiveness of  God's Son! How free from fear, how filled with blessing and with
Tx:29.45  Its form appears to be outside himself. Yet does he seek to kill  God's Son within and prove that he is victor over him. This is the
Tx:29.55  excluded and been kept apart? What hand could be held up to block  God's way? Whose voice could make demand He enter not? The
Tx:29.59  An idol is a means for getting more. And it is this that is against  God's Will.
Tx:29.62 How can  God's Son awaken from the dream? It is a dream of judgment. So must
Tx:29.63  and the dream from which they come. Judgment is an injustice to  God's Son, and it is justice that who judges him will not escape the
Tx:30.41  could it be possible it be denied. Your will to be complete is but  God's Will, and this is given you by being His. God knows not form.
Tx:30.42 Completion is the function of  God's Son. He has no need to seek for it at all. Beyond all idols
Tx:30.43  of you. And so there are no separate parts in what exists within  God's Mind. It is forever one, eternally united and at peace.
Tx:30.53  for they are not there. Yet this is equally forgotten in attack.  God's Son needs no defense against his dreams. His idols do not
Tx:30.56  illusions by his will and but restored to what he is. What could  God's plan for his salvation be, except a means to give him to
Tx:30.60 The final step is  God's because it is but God Who could create a perfect Son and share
Tx:30.61 The real world still falls short of this, for this is  God's own purpose—only His, and yet completely shared and perfectly
Tx:30.76  could not escape all guilt, but only some of it. You must forgive  God's Son entirely. Or you will keep an image of yourself that is not
Tx:30.76  so there cannot be appearances which have replaced the truth about  God's Son.
Tx:30.78  God's Son is perfect, or he cannot be God's Son. Nor will you know
Tx:30.78 God's Son is perfect, or he cannot be  God's Son. Nor will you know him if you think he does not merit the
Tx:30.92  all miracles has not been given freedom to bestow His gifts upon  God's Son. When he is tempted, he denies reality. And he becomes the
Tx:31.7  surely from its source. The certain outcome of the lesson that  God's Son is guilty is the world you see. It is a world of terror and
Tx:31.7  which reflects the love of God is stronger still. And you will learn  God's Son is innocent and see another world.
Tx:31.8 The outcome of the lesson that  God's Son is guiltless is a world in which there is no fear and
Tx:31.8  wanted to be part of you. The soft, eternal calling of each part of  God's creation to the whole is heard throughout the world this second
Tx:31.9  indeed if he whom He created innocent could be a slave to guilt.  God's perfect Son remembers his creation. But in guilt he has
Tx:31.10  of God results as surely from the lesson that His Son is guilty as  God's love must be remembered when he learns his innocence. For hate
Tx:31.21 Because he is your equal in  God's love, you will be saved from all appearances and answer to the
Tx:31.92  but disappear as mists before the sun. A miracle has come to heal  God's Son and close the door upon his dreams of weakness, opening the

W1:43.2  no meaning. Yet does the Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to  God's. Healed perception becomes the means by which the Son of God
W1:43.9  The world can show me myself. I see my own thoughts, which are like  God's.
W1:49.1 It is quite possible to listen to  God's Voice all through the day without interrupting your regular
W1:49.2  of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever. Try to hear  God's Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has
W1:49.5  closing your eyes on the world and realizing that you are inviting  God's Voice to speak to you.
W1:52.2  them reality and thus regard reality as an illusion. Nothing in  God's creation is affected in any way by this confusion of mine. I am
W1:53.6  my real thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet  God's way is sure. The images I have made cannot prevail against Him
W1:57.4  thoughts are the opposite of truth. I see the world as a prison for  God's Son. It must be, then, that the world is really a place where

W1:60.5 [49]  God's Voice speaks to me all through the day. There is not a moment
W1:60.5  speaks to me all through the day. There is not a moment in which  God's Voice ceases to call on my forgiveness to save me. There is not
W1:60.5  steadily on toward truth. There is nowhere else I can go, because  God's Voice is the only voice and the only guide that has been given
W1:60.6 [50] I am sustained by the Love of God. As I listen to  God's Voice, I am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His love

W1:61.3 True humility requires that you accept today's idea because it is  God's Voice Which tells you it is true. This is a beginning step in
W1:63.6 Remember that  God's Son looks to you for his salvation. And who but your Self must
W1:64.8 Let me not forget my function. Let me not try to substitute mine for  God's. Let me forgive and be happy.
W1:69.2  We are trying to let the veil be lifted and see the tears of  God's Son disappear in the sunlight.
W1:69.8  your mind. Try to remember that you are at last joining your will to  God's. Try to keep the thought clearly in mind that what you
W1:70.5 Your purpose was to ensure that healing did not occur;  God's purpose was to ensure that it did. Today we practice realizing
W1:70.5  purpose was to ensure that it did. Today we practice realizing that  God's Will and ours are really the same in this.
W1:71.1  that the ego has set up a plan for salvation in opposition to  God's. It is this plan in which you believe. Since it is the opposite
W1:71.1  It is this plan in which you believe. Since it is the opposite of  God's, you also believe that to accept God's plan in place of the
W1:71.1  Since it is the opposite of God's, you also believe that to accept  God's plan in place of the ego's is to be damned. This sounds
W1:71.6  God's plan for salvation works simply because, by following His
W1:71.7  escape all this? Very simply. The idea for today is the answer. Only  God's plan for salvation will work. There can be no real conflict
W1:71.7  conflict about this, because there is no possible alternative to  God's plan that will save you. His is the only plan that is certain
W1:71.9  it contains two parts, each making equal contribution to the whole.  God's plan for your salvation will work, and other plans will not. Do

W1:71.12  willingness to listen. This is enough to establish your claim to  God's answer.
W1:71.13 In the shorter practice periods tell yourself often that  God's plan for salvation, and only His, will work. Be alert to all
W1:71.14 Holding grievances is the opposite of  God's plan for salvation. And only His plan will work.
W1:72.1  have recognized that the ego's plan for salvation is the opposite of  God's, we have not yet emphasized that it is an active attack on His
W1:72.3  it is perhaps not so apparent why holding grievances is an attack on  God's plan for salvation. But let us consider the kinds of things
W1:72.8  stands at the center of your concept of yourself, you are attacking  God's plan for salvation and holding your grievances against Him and
W1:72.10  To see our Self as separate from the body is to end the attack on  God's plan for salvation and to accept it instead. And wherever His
W1:72.11 Our goal in the longer practice periods today is to become aware that  God's plan for salvation has already been accomplished in us. To
W1:72.11  with acceptance. As long as we attack it, we cannot understand what  God's plan for us is. We are therefore attacking what we do not
W1:72.11  Now we are going to try to lay judgment aside and ask what  God's plan for us is:
W1:72.14 We have attacked  God's plan for salvation without waiting to hear what it is. We have
W1:72.19 Holding grievances is an attack on  God's plan for salvation. Let me accept it instead. What is
W1:73.8  remember that you will salvation for yourself. You will to accept  God's plan because you share in it. You have no will that can really
W1:73.10 We will begin our longer practice periods with the recognition that  God's plan for salvation, and only His, is wholly in accord with your
W1:73.13 I will there be light. Let me behold the light that reflects  God's Will and mine.
W1:74.1  as the central thought toward which all our exercises are directed.  God's is the only will. When you have recognized this, you have
W1:74.4 There is no will but  God's. I cannot be in conflict.
W1:74.6 I am at peace. Nothing can disturb me. My will is  God's My will and God's are one. God wills peace for His Son.
W1:74.6 I am at peace. Nothing can disturb me. My will is God's My will and  God's are one. God wills peace for His Son.
W1:74.8 There is no will but  God's. These conflict thoughts are meaningless.
W1:74.10 There is no will but  God's. I share it with Him. My conflicts about _____ cannot be real.
W1:74.14 There is no will but  God's. I seek His peace today.
W1:76.9 Perhaps you even think that there are laws which set forth what is  God's and what is yours. Many “religions” have been based on this.
W1:76.10 There are no laws but  God's. Dismiss all foolish magical beliefs today and hold your mind
W1:76.10  there are no substitutes, and nothing is replaced by something else.  God's laws forever give and never take.
W1:76.12 Let us today open  God's channels to Him and let His Will extend through us to Him. Thus

W1:78.12  this throughout the day and take the role assigned to us as part of  God's salvation plan, and not our own. Temptation falls away when we
W1:80.1  Accept that fact, and you are ready to take your rightful place in  God's plan for salvation.
W1:80.2  your only problem, opening the way for the Holy Spirit to give you  God's answer. You have laid deception aside and seen the light of
W1:80.4  answer have been brought together. The problem must be gone because  God's answer cannot fail. Having recognized one, you have recognized
W1:86.2 [71] Only  God's plan for salvation will work. It is senseless for me to search
W1:86.2  about what it is. I will undertake no more idle seeking. Only  God's plan for salvation will work. And I will rejoice because His
W1:86.4  God's plan for salvation will save me from my perception of this.
W1:86.4  will save me from my perception of this. This is no exception in  God's plan for my salvation. Let me perceive this only in the light

W1:86.5  defeat my own best interests in this insane way. I would accept  God's plan for salvation and be happy.

W1:88.5  Here is the perfect statement of my freedom. I am under no laws but  God's. I am constantly tempted to make up other laws and give them

W1:92.3 It is  God's strength in you that is the light in which you see, as it is
W1:93.3  idle thoughts are meaningless. These thoughts are not according to  God's Will. These weird beliefs He does not share with you. This is

W1:96.7  that does not exist. Perhaps you hope it can. Yet would you have  God's plan for the release of His dear Son bring pain to him and fail
W1:98.9 I will accept my part in  God's plan for salvation.
W1:99.11  spots and shine through them to join them to the rest. It is  God's Will your mind be one with His. It is God's Will that He has
W1:99.11  them to the rest. It is God's Will your mind be one with His. It is  God's Will that He has but one Son. It is God's Will that His one Son
W1:99.11  be one with His. It is God's Will that He has but one Son. It is  God's Will that His one Son is you.
W1:99.18  the times you give five minutes to be shared with Him Who shares  God's plan with you. Remind yourself:
W1:100.1 Just as  God's Son completes his Father, so your part in it completes your
W1:100.2  God's Will for you is perfect happiness. Why should you choose to go
W1:100.3 You are indeed essential to  God's plan. Without your joy, His joy is incomplete. Without your
W1:100.4 You are indeed essential to  God's plan. Just as your light increases every light that shines in
W1:100.4  all minds to let their sorrows go and take their place beside you in  God's plan. God's messengers are joyous, and their joy heals sorrow
W1:100.4  let their sorrows go and take their place beside you in God's plan.  God's messengers are joyous, and their joy heals sorrow and despair.
W1:100.5  today. For if we do, we fail to take the part that is essential to  God's plan as well as to our vision. Sadness is the sign that you
W1:100.7 You are  God's messenger today. You bring His happiness to all you look upon,
W1:100.8  this is asked of you or anyone who wants to take his place among  God's messengers. Think what this means. You have indeed been wrong
W1:100.8  in your belief that sacrifice is asked. You but receive according to  God's plan and never lose or sacrifice or die.
W1:100.9 Now let us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the world  God's Will for us. It is your function that you find it here and that
W1:100.11  is Him you answer every time you tell yourself you are essential to  God's plan for the salvation of the world.
W1:101.1  Yet you must think it so while you believe that sin is real and that  God's Son can sin. If sin is real, then punishment is just and cannot
W1:101.5  which cherishes no lingering belief that you have made a devil of  God's Son.
W1:101.6  as often as we can today because it is the basis for today's idea.  God's Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no sin, and
W1:101.8  God's Will for me is perfect happiness. There is no sin; it has no
W1:101.11  God's Will for me is perfect happiness. This is the truth because
W1:102.3  periods to exercises planned to help you reach the happiness  God's Will has placed in you. Here is your home, and here your safety
W1:102.4 Begin the longer practice periods today with this acceptance of  God's Will for you:
W1:102.5 I share  God's Will for happiness for me, and I accept it as my function now.
W1:102.6  fail to find it when you learn it is your choice and that you share  God's Will.
W1:102.7  function here is happiness. You have no need to be less loving to  God's Son than He Whose Love created him as loving as Himself.
W1:102.7  as your one function. And be sure that you are joining with  God's Will in doing this.
W1:104.2  and self-made gifts which we have placed upon the holy altar where  God's gifts belong. These are the gifts which are our own in truth.
W1:104.9 I seek but what belongs to me in truth.  God's gifts of joy and peace are all I want.
W1:105.1  God's peace and joy are yours. Today we will accept them, knowing
W1:105.4 Accept  God's peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of looking at
W1:105.4  and joy, and you will learn a different way of looking at a gift.  God's gifts will never lessen when they are given away. They but
W1:105.4  thereby. As Heaven's peace and joy intensify when you accept them as  God's gift to you, so does the joy of your Creator grow when you
W1:105.6 Today accept  God's peace and joy as yours. Let Him complete Himself as He defines
W1:105.8 My brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have  God's peace and joy as mine.
W1:105.9 Thus you prepare yourself to recognize  God's gifts to you and let your mind be free of all that would
W1:105.12  with what He wills. And if a brother seems to tempt you to deny  God's gift to him, see it as but another chance to let yourself
W1:105.13 My brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have  God's peace and joy as mine.
W1:106.4 Today the promise of  God's Word is kept. Hear and be silent. He would speak to you. He
W1:106.5  you. He needs your voice to speak to them, for who could reach  God's Son except his Father calling through your Self?
W1:R3.12  it with you in the business of the day and make it holy, worthy of  God's Son, acceptable to God and to your Self.
W1:113.3  my One Self, Whose knowledge still remains Within my mind, I see  God's perfect plan For my salvation perfectly fulfilled.
W1:114.3 [98] I will accept my part in  God's plan for salvation. What can my function be but to accept the
W1:114.7 I will accept my part in  God's plan for salvation.
W1:115.3 [100] My part is essential to  God's plan for salvation. I am essential to the plan of God for the
W1:115.7 My part is essential to  God's plan for salvation.
W1:116.2 [101]  God's Will for me is perfect happiness. God's Will is perfect
W1:116.2 [101] God's Will for me is perfect happiness.  God's Will is perfect happiness for me. And I can suffer but from the
W1:116.3 [102] I share  God's Will for happiness for me. I share my Father's Will for me, His
W1:116.5  God's Will for me is perfect happiness.
W1:116.7 I share  God's Will for happiness for me.
W1:118.2 [105]  God's peace and joy are mine. Today I will accept God's peace and joy
W1:118.2 [105] God's peace and joy are mine. Today I will accept  God's peace and joy in glad exchange for all the substitutes which I
W1:118.3  and let me hear the mighty Voice of truth itself assure me that I am  God's perfect Son.
W1:118.5  God's peace and joy are mine.
W1:119.2  my mind. I am mistaken when I think I can be hurt in any way. I am  God's Son whose Self rests safely in the Mind of God.
W1:120.3 [110] I am as God created me. I am  God's Son. Today I lay aside all sick illusions of myself and let my
W1:122.5  answer! Seek for it no more. You will not find another one instead.  God's plan for your salvation cannot change, nor can it fail. Be
W1:124.8  no rules nor special words to guide your meditation. We will trust  God's Voice to speak as He sees fit today, certain He will not fail.
W1:125.2 This world will change through you. No other means can save it, for  God's plan is simply this: the Son of God is free to save himself,
W1:125.2  him surely to his Father's house by his own will, forever free as  God's. He is not led by force, but only love. He is not judged, but
W1:125.3 In stillness we will hear  God's Voice today without intrusion of our petty thoughts, without
W1:127.3  mind that thinks of it as partial or in part. There is no love but  God's, and all of love is His. There is no other principle which
W1:127.10  they all made free along with us. Now are they all our brothers in  God's Love.
W1:127.12  you. For I would learn the joyous lesson that there is no love but  God's and yours and mine and everyone's.
W1:130.10  seeing that your eyes alone have ever seen before. And you will know  God's strength upheld as you made this choice.
W1:131.5  want. No one can fail to want this goal and reach it in the end.  God's Son cannot seek vainly, though he try to force delay, deceive
W1:131.9  his home forever? Let us not try longer to impose an alien will upon  God's single purpose. He is here because He wills to be, and what He
W1:132.12  cannot be at all. If you are real, the world you see is false, for  God's creation is unlike the world in every way. And as it was His
W1:134.2  is false. It is irrelevant to everything except illusions. Truth is  God's creation, and to pardon this is meaningless. All truth belongs
W1:136.10  powerful than everlasting life, Heaven more frail than hell, and  God's design for the salvation of His Son opposed by a decision
W1:137.3  as he sees the body has no power to attack the universal oneness of  God's Son.
W1:137.12 Would you not offer shelter to  God's Will? You but invite your Self to be at home, and can this
W1:137.15  with the world, that sickness may be banished from the mind of  God's one Son, Who is my only Self.
W1:138.2  relinquishment of hell. It is not really thus. Yet what is true in  God's creation cannot enter here unless it is reflected in some form
W1:139.9  of them. This does Atonement teach and demonstrates the oneness of  God's Son is unassailed by his belief he knows not what he is. Today
W1:143.1 [125] In quiet I receive  God's Word today.
W1:144.1 [127] There is no love but  God's.
W1:151.7  He passes by such idle witnesses, which merely bear false witness to  God's Son. He recognizes only what God loves, and in the holy light
W1:151.12  in everything and hear in everything no sound except the echo of  God's Voice.
W1:151.15  one can fail to listen when you hear the Voice for God give honor to  God's Son. And everyone will share the thoughts with you which He has
W1:152.9  its changelessness, and its eternal wholeness—all-encompassing,  God's perfect gift to His beloved Son.
W1:152.11 To recognize  God's Son implies as well that all self-concepts have been laid aside
W1:152.11  Their arrogance has been perceived. And in humility the radiance of  God's Son, his gentleness, his perfect sinlessness, his Father's
W1:152.15  the day began, concluding it with this same invitation to your Self.  God's Voice will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father.
W1:152.15  all your frantic thoughts, the truth of God for self-deceptions, and  God's Son for your illusions of yourself.
W1:153.10  is your purpose, how secure you rest, untouchable within its light.  God's ministers have chosen that the truth be with them. Who is
W1:153.11 It is the function of  God's ministers to help their brothers choose as they have done. God
W1:153.14  a vengeance he cannot escape, were but his own deluded fantasy.  God's ministers have come to waken him from the dark dreams this
W1:153.14  evoked in his confused, bewildered memory of this distorted tale.  God's Son can smile at last on learning that it is not true.
W1:154.10  to us and for us, joining in One Voice the getting and the giving of  God's Word, the giving and receiving of His Will.
W1:155.10  from you as well, with nothing left to keep the truth apart from  God's completion, holy as Himself. Step back in faith, and let truth
W1:155.13  to lead you elsewhere. Dreams are not a worthy guide for you who are  God's Son. Forget not He has placed His hand in yours and given you
W1:159.10  you not worth the gift when God appointed it be given you? Judge not  God's Son, but follow in the way He has established. Christ has
W1:161.7  When hatred rests upon a thing, it calls for death as surely as  God's Voice proclaims there is no death. Fear is insatiable,
W1:163.4  opposite of God proclaimed as lord of all creation, stronger than  God's Will for life, the endlessness of love and Heaven's perfect,
W1:165.6  Abundance dwells in him, and deprivation cannot cut him off from  God's sustaining love and from his home.
W1:166.1 All things are given you.  God's trust in you is limitless. He knows His Son. He gives without
W1:166.3  who holds such strange beliefs. He must believe that, to accept  God's gifts, however evident they may become, however urgently he may
W1:166.5 Yet in his lonely, senseless wanderings,  God's gifts go with him, all unknown to him. He cannot lose them. But
W1:166.9  miserable self you thought was you may not be your identity. Perhaps  God's Word is truer than your own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real.
W1:166.10  God's Will does not oppose. It merely is. It is not God you have
W1:166.13  that comes to those who feel the touch of Christ and recognize  God's gifts. Let sorrow not tempt you to be unfaithful to your trust.
W1:166.14  touch; your change of mind becomes the proof that who accepts  God's gifts can never suffer anything. You are entrusted with the
W1:169.3  open mind can hear the call to waken. It is not shut tight against  God's Voice. It has become aware that there are things it does not
W1:169.6  all. It comes to every mind when total recognition that its will is  God's has been completely given and received completely. It returns
W1:R5.8  mind the way that led him out and now will lead you out with him.  God's Son is crucified until you walk along the road with me.
W1:183.1  God's Name is holy, but no holier than yours. To call upon His Name
W1:183.2  God's Name cannot be heard without response, nor said without an echo
W1:183.3 Repeat  God's Name and all the world responds by laying down illusions. Every
W1:183.4  No temptation but becomes a nameless and unwanted thing before  God's Name. Repeat His Name and see how easily you will forget the
W1:183.6  should you join a brother as you sit with him in silence and repeat  God's Name along with him within your quiet minds, you have
W1:183.6  to God Himself and to His Son. Practice but this today; repeat  God's Name slowly again and still again. Become oblivious to every
W1:183.7  except at the beginning, when we say today's idea but once. And then  God's Name becomes our only thought, our only word, the only thing
W1:183.9  this one. And to all other thoughts respond with this, and see  God's Name replace the thousand little names you gave your thoughts,
W1:183.11  within it. words are insignificant and all requests unneeded when  God's Son calls on his Father's Name. His Father's Thoughts become
W1:184.14 And though we use a different name for each awareness of an aspect of  God's Son, we understand that they have but One Name, Which He has
W1:185.9  that it is otherwise. No compromise is possible in this. You choose  God's peace, or you have asked for dreams. And dreams will come as
W1:185.9  for dreams. And dreams will come as you requested them. Yet will  God's peace come just as certainly and to remain with you forever. It
W1:185.11  asks that he deceive himself no longer by denying to himself what is  God's Will. Who can remain unsatisfied who asks for what he has
W1:186.4 All false humility we lay aside today that we may listen to  God's Voice reveal to us what He would have us do. We do not doubt
W1:186.5  the plan you did not make instead. Judge not your value to it. If  God's Voice assures you that salvation needs your part and that the
W1:186.11  one goal, and one you can attain. Your plan may be impossible, but  God's can never fail because He is its Source.
W1:188.7  God's peace is shining on them, but they must remain with you as
W1:188.7  as well, for they were born within your mind as yours was born in  God's. They lead you back to peace from where they came but to remind
W1:189.4  world of hatred equally unseen and inconceivable to those who feel  God's Love in them. Their world reflects the quietness and peace that
W1:191.10  of his forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark and sinful when  God's Son has come again at last to set it free?
W1:192.2 Forgiveness represents your function here. It is not  God's creation, for it is the means by which untruth can be undone.
W1:194.4  in time. You are but asked to let the future go and place it in  God's hands. And you will see by your experience that you have laid
W1:194.5  into a holy instant when the light that was kept hidden in  God's Son is freed to bless the world. Now is he free, and all his
W1:194.9 Now are we saved indeed. For in  God's hands we rest untroubled, sure that only good can come to us.
W1:197.1  be received with honor, lest they be withdrawn. And so you think  God's gifts are loans at best; at worst, deceptions which would cheat
W1:198.7  as justified. Yet all are one—a place where death is offered to  God's Son and to his Father. You may think They have accepted, but if
W1:198.12 Accept the one illusion which proclaims there is no condemnation in  God's Son, and Heaven is remembered instantly; the world forgotten,
W1:199.4  extended to the all-inclusive goal that it must reach according to  God's plan.
W1:199.8 You are  God's Son. In immortality you live forever. Would you not return your
W1:199.8  stand released with you in it; the world is blessed along with you;  God's Son will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the
W1:200.6  and where it must serve a mighty function. Is not the escape of  God's beloved Son from evil dreams that he imagines, yet believes are
W1:200.7  God because He has one Son, who cannot make a world in opposition to  God's Will and to his own, which is the same as His. What could he
W1:203.1 [183] I call upon  God's Name and on my own. The Name of God is my deliverance from
W1:204.1 [184] The Name of God is my inheritance.  God's Name reminds me that I am His Son, not slave to time, unbound
W1:207.1 [187] I bless the world because I bless myself.  God's blessing shines upon me from within my heart where He abides. I
W1:211.1  the holy Son of God Himself. In silence and in true humility, I seek  God's glory to behold it in the Son whom He created as my Self. I am
W1:219.1 [199] I am not a body. I am free. I am  God's Son. Be still, my mind, and think a moment upon this. And then
W2:I.9  A moment more, and it will rise again. A moment more, and we who are  God's Sons are safely home, where He would have us be.
W2:I.10  but be still and let all things be healed. We will accept the way  God's plan will end, as we received the way it started. Now it is
W2:WF.1  are all your sins forgiven. What is sin except a false idea about  God's Son? Forgiveness merely sees its falsity and therefore lets it
W2:223.1  unattached, and housed within a body. Now I know my life is  God's. I have no other home, and I do not exist apart from Him. He
W2:WS.1  and all the thoughts that have been born in time will end as well.  God's Word is given every mind which thinks that it has separate
W2:WS.2 The thought of peace was given to  God's Son the instant that his mind had thought of war. There was no
W2:WS.5  the world that freedom is returned, that time is almost over, and  God's Son has but an instant more to wait until his Father is
W2:246.1  the way to God if I have hatred in my heart. Let me not try to hurt  God's Son and think that I can know his Father or my Self. Let me not
W2:WIS.3  They are the “proof” that what has no reality is real. Sin “proves”  God's Son is evil; timelessness must have an end; eternal life must
W2:255.1  Son is like Himself. Let me this day have faith in Him Who says I am  God's Son. And let the peace I choose be mine today bear witness to
W2:255.1  I choose be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He says.  God's Son can have no cares and must remain forever in the peace of
W2:258.1  which offer nothing and do not exist. Shall we continue to allow  God's grace to shine in unawareness while the toys and trinkets of
W2:259.1  suffering? And what but this could be the source of fear, obscuring  God's creation, giving love the attributes of fear and of attack?
W2:WIB.2  will not stay. Yet this he sees as double “safety.” For the Son of  God's impermanence is “proof” his fences work and do the task his
W2:WIB.2  Who the murderer? And if he did not die, what “proof” is there that  God's eternal Son can be destroyed?
W2:WIB.4 The body is the means by which  God's Son returns to sanity. Though it was made to fence him into
W2:265.1  light of Heaven, shining on the world. What is reflected here is in  God's Mind. The images I see reflect my thoughts. Yet is my mind at
W2:265.1  The images I see reflect my thoughts. Yet is my mind at one with  God's. And so I can perceive creation's gentleness.
W2:266.2 This day we enter into paradise, calling upon  God's name and on our own, acknowledging our Self in each of us,
W2:WIC.1 Christ is  God's Son as He created Him. He is the Self we share, uniting us with
W2:WIC.2  Your mind is part of His and His of yours. He is the part in which  God's Answer lies, where all decisions are already made and dreams
W2:271.1  I choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to  God's Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in God's
W2:271.1  to listen to God's Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in  God's creation. In Christ's sight, the world and God's creation meet,
W2:271.1  to what is true in God's creation. In Christ's sight, the world and  God's creation meet, and as they come together, all perception
W2:272.1  by Your Love, forever still, forever gentle, and forever safe.  God's Son must be as You created him.
W2:277.2  free, because he is his Father's Son. And he cannot be bound unless  God's Truth can lie and God can will that He deceive Himself.
W2:279.1 The end of dreams is promised me because  God's Son is not abandoned by His Love. Only in dreams is there a
W2:WIHS.5  Spirit is His gift by Which the quietness of Heaven is restored to  God's beloved Son. Would you refuse to take the function of
W2:290.1  Christ's vision come to me this very day. What I perceive without  God's own correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful
W2:WIRW.4  real world is the symbol that the dream of sin and guilt is over and  God's Son no longer sleeps. His waking eyes perceive the sure
W2:292.1  God's promises make no exceptions. And He guarantees that only joy
W2:292.1  and every situation that we meet. Yet is the ending certain. For  God's Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we will find
W2:294.1  as well? Did God create the mortal and corruptible? What use has  God's beloved Son for what must die? And yet a neutral thing does not
W2:WISC.1  what is forever and forever true. It is the invitation to  God's Word to take illusion's place, the willingness to let
W2:WISC.2  you. There is no end to the release the Second Coming brings, as  God's creation must be limitless. Forgiveness lights the Second
W2:WISC.5  most of all it needs your willingness. Let us rejoice that we can do  God's Will and join together in its holy light. Behold, the Son of
W2:301.2  God's world is happy. Those who look on it can only add their joy to
W2:301.2  we have learned the world we saw was false, and we will look upon  God's world today.
W2:303.1 Watch with me, angels; watch with me today. Let all  God's holy thoughts surround me and be still with me while Heaven's
W2:307.2  state where conflict cannot come because we join our holy will with  God's in recognition that they are but one.
W2:309.1 Within me is eternal innocence because it is  God's Will that it be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose
W2:WILJ.3 You who believed that  God's Last Judgment would condemn the world to hell along with you,
W2:WILJ.3  condemn the world to hell along with you, accept this holy truth:  God's Judgment is the gift of the correction He bestowed on all your
W2:WILJ.3  you from them and all effects they ever seemed to have. To fear  God's saving grace is but to fear complete release from suffering,
W2:WILJ.4  God's Final Judgment is as merciful as every step in His appointed
W2:WILJ.5 This is  God's Final Judgment: “You are still My holy Son, forever innocent,
W2:311.1  made against yourself and re-establish peace of mind by giving you  God's Judgment of His Son.
W2:318.1 In me,  God's holy Son, are reconciled all parts of Heaven's plan to save the
W2:318.1  of more or less importance than the rest? I am the means by which  God's Son is saved because salvation's purpose is to find the
W2:318.1  as the thing I seek. I am the goal the world is searching for. I am  God's Son, His one Eternal Love. I am salvation's means and end as
W2:WICR.1 Creation is the sum of all  God's thoughts, in number infinite and everywhere without all limit.
W2:WICR.1  anything that It created suffers any change. Forever and forever are  God's thoughts exactly as they were and as they are, unchanged
W2:WICR.2  God's thoughts are given all the power that Their own Creator has.
W2:WICR.4  For Love remains with all Its thought, Its sureness being theirs.  God's memory is in our holy minds, which know their oneness and their
W2:WICR.4  Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let  God's Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be
W2:322.1  to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome and in readiness to give  God's ancient messages to me. His memory abides in every gift that I
W2:322.1  of Him. And every dream serves only to conceal the Self which is  God's only Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One who still
W2:326.2  at first transformed, and then, forgiven, fade entirely into  God's holy Will.
W2:328.1  striving to be separate and that our independence from the rest of  God's creation is the way in which salvation is obtained. Yet all we
W2:330.1  take what is already theirs? The mind that is made willing to accept  God's gifts has been restored to Spirit and extends its freedom and
W2:331.2 Forgiveness shows us that  God's Will is one and that we share it. Let us look upon the holy
W2:334.1  false perception. Let me not accept such meager gifts again today.  God's Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and choose
W2:337.1  my Self, my sinlessness, created for me, now already mine, to feel  God's Love protecting me from harm, to understand my Father loves His
W2:346.2  will learn today what peace is ours when we forget all things except  God's Love.
W2:348.2  God's grace suffices us in everything that He would have us do. And

M:I.5 Except for  God's teachers, there would be no hope of salvation, for the world of
M:2.1 Certain pupils have been assigned to each of  God's teachers, and they will begin to look for him as soon as he has
M:2.2  being of Him. The instant the idea of separation entered the Mind of  God's Son, in that same instant was God's Answer given. In time this
M:2.2  separation entered the Mind of God's Son, in that same instant was  God's Answer given. In time this happened very long ago. In reality
M:2.4  the teacher, too, made an inevitable choice out of an ancient past.  God's Will in everything but seems to take time in the working-out.
M:2.5  begins. For the teacher is not really the one who does the teaching.  God's Teacher speaks to any two who join together for learning
M:3.3  to say that any level of the teaching-learning situation is part of  God's plan for Atonement, and His plan can have no levels, being a
M:3.3  reflection of His Will. Salvation is always ready and always there.  God's teachers work at different levels, but the result is always the
M:4.1 The surface traits of  God's teachers are not at all alike. They do not look alike to the
M:4.11 All other traits of  God's teachers rest on trust. Once that has been achieved, the others
M:4.12  to a teacher of God. Challenge implies doubt, and the trust on which  God's teachers rest secure makes doubt impossible. Therefore they can
M:4.13  God's teachers do not judge. To judge is to be dishonest, for to
M:4.13  a lack of trust, and trust remains the bed-rock of the teacher of  God's whole thought system. Let this be lost, and all his learning
M:4.14 Harm is impossible for  God's teachers. They can neither harm nor be harmed. Harm is the
M:4.14  of peace and the denial of learning. It demonstrates the absence of  God's curriculum and its replacement by insanity. No teacher of God
M:4.14  It will make the Holy Spirit's lessons impossible to learn. Nor can  God's Teacher be heard at all except by those who realize that harm
M:4.15 Therefore  God's teachers are wholly gentle. They need the strength of
M:4.15  all-encompassing, and limitless strength of gentleness? The might of  God's teachers lies in their gentleness, for they have understood
M:4.15  for they have understood their evil thoughts came neither from  God's Son nor his Creator. Thus did they join their thoughts with Him
M:4.16  be safe. Joy goes with gentleness as surely as grief attends attack.  God's teachers trust in Him. And they are sure His Teacher goes
M:4.16  can come to them. They hold His gifts and follow in His way because  God's Voice directs them in all things. Joy is their song of thanks.
M:4.17  God's teachers have learned how to be simple. They have no dreams
M:4.18  learned and learned very carefully. Like all the other attributes of  God's teachers, this one rests ultimately on trust, for without
M:4.21 The extent of the teacher of  God's faithfulness is the measure of his advancement in the
M:4.21  his trust not yet firmly established. Faithfulness is the teacher of  God's trust in the word of God to set all things right—not some but
M:4.22  Faithfulness, then, combines in itself the other attributes of  God's teachers. It implies acceptance of the word of God and His
M:4.23  comes with lack of judgment. As judgment shuts the mind against  God's Teacher, so open-mindedness invites Him to come in. As
M:4.25 You may have noticed that the list of attributes of  God's teachers does not include those things which are the Son of
M:4.25  of God's teachers does not include those things which are the Son of  God's inheritance. Terms like love, sinlessness, perfection,
M:4.25  the focus properly belongs on the curriculum. It is the function of  God's teachers to bring true learning to the world. Properly speaking

M:5.3  conviction, does healing stand for? It symbolizes the defeat of  God's Son and the triumph of his Father over him. It represents the
M:5.9 To them  God's teachers come to represent another choice which they had
M:5.9  for the right to question what the patient has accepted is true. As  God's messengers, His teachers are the symbols of salvation. They ask
M:5.9  the symbols of salvation. They ask the patient for forgiveness for  God's Son in his own name. They stand for the alternative. With God's
M:5.9  for God's Son in his own name. They stand for the alternative. With  God's Word in their minds they come in benediction, not to heal the

M:5.10  Voice in this brother who would so deceive himself as to believe  God's Son can suffer. And they remind him that he has not made
M:5.10  the union of the One will with itself. And this is the function of  God's teachers—to see no will as separate from their own, nor
M:5.10  see no will as separate from their own, nor theirs as separate from  God's.
M:6.2  of treasures laid up equally for the giver and the receiver of  God's gifts. Not one is lost, for they can but increase. No teacher
M:6.3 It is not the function of  God's teachers to evaluate the outcome of their gifts. It is merely

M:9.1 Changes are required in the minds of  God's teachers. This may or may not involve changes in the external
M:9.1  that no one is where he is by accident, and chance plays no part in  God's plan. It is most unlikely that changes in his attitudes would
M:9.1  attitudes would not be the first step in the newly-made teacher of  God's training. There is however no set pattern, since training is

M:12.2  can no longer be feared, for the mind sees no cause for punishment.  God's teachers appear to be many, for that is the world's need. Yet
M:12.3  is not understandable to the deluded. Only a very few can hear  God's Voice at all, and even they cannot communicate His messages
M:12.3  that truth can come only where it is welcomed without fear. So do  God's teachers need a body, for their unity could not be recognized
M:12.4 Yet what makes them  God's teachers is their recognition of the proper purpose of the

M:12.6 Oneness and sickness cannot co-exist.  God's teachers choose to look on dreams a while. It is a conscious
M:12.6  for what they are? Awareness of dreaming is the real function of  God's teachers. They watch the dream figures come and go, shift and
M:12.6  and beautiful. Unity alone is not a thing of dreams. And it is this  God's teachers acknowledge as behind the dream, beyond all seeing and

M:15.1 Indeed yes! No one can escape  God's Final Judgment. Who could flee forever from the truth? But the
M:15.1  proclaimed around and around the world, setting it free as  God's Final Judgment on him is received. This is the judgment in
M:15.4  small and meaningless to occupy your holy minds an instant longer.  God's judgment waits for you to set you free. What can the world hold
M:16.8  is a sorry substitute for true assistance. It is not good enough for  God's teacher, because it is not enough for God's Son.
M:16.8  is not good enough for God's teacher, because it is not enough for  God's Son.
M:16.9  is nothing more than the attempt to substitute another will for  God's. These attempts may indeed seem frightening, yet they are
M:16.11  The world would gladly make it if it knew it could be made. It is  God's teachers who must teach it that it can. And so it is their
M:16.11  magic, for it is only this that leads to pain. “There is no will but  God's.” His teachers know that this is so and have learned that
M:16.11  training, every day and hour, and even every minute and second, must  God's teachers learn to recognize the forms of magic and perceive
M:17.1  is not to attack it. If a magic thought arouses anger in any form,  God's teacher can be sure that he is strengthening his own belief in
M:18.2  God's teachers’ major lesson is to learn how to react to magic
M:18.2  And now is guilt forgiven, overlooked completely in His sight and in  God's Word.

M:18.5  his healing is his pupil healed with him. The sole responsibility of  God's teacher is to accept the Atonement for himself. Atonement means
M:19.1  making only just interpretations and laying all injustices aside. If  God's Son were fairly judged, there would be no need for salvation.
M:19.4 Salvation is  God's justice. It restores to your awareness the wholeness of the

M:19.5 Pray for  God's justice, and do not confuse His mercy with your own insanity.
M:19.5  Remember this. In this lies either Heaven or hell, as you elect.  God's justice points to Heaven just because it is entirely impartial.
M:20.2 First, how can the peace of God be recognized?  God's peace is recognized at first by just one thing—in every way
M:20.3  found? No one can fail to find it who but seeks out its conditions.  God's peace can never come where anger is, for anger must deny that
M:20.4  for a moment now and think of this: is conflict what you want, or is  God's peace the better choice? Which gives you more? A tranquil mind

M:21.5 A major hindrance in this aspect of his learning is the teacher of  God's fear about the validity of what he hears. And what he hears may
M:21.5  you, but offer them in confidence. They are far wiser than your own.  God's teachers have God's Word behind their symbols. And He Himself
M:21.5  in confidence. They are far wiser than your own. God's teachers have  God's Word behind their symbols. And He Himself gives to the words
M:22.4  healing all perception. Healing is the result of the recognition by  God's teacher of Who it is that is in need of healing. This
M:22.7  then can say who can be healed of what and what must remain beyond  God's power to forgive? This is insanity indeed. It is not up to
M:22.7  God's power to forgive? This is insanity indeed. It is not up to  God's teachers to set limits upon Him, because it is not up to them
M:22.7  Both are equally meaningless. Yet this will not be understood until  God's teacher recognizes that they are the same mistake. Herein does
M:23.1  God's gifts can rarely be received directly. Even the most advanced
M:23.1  gifts can rarely be received directly. Even the most advanced of  God's teachers will give way to temptation in this world. Would it be

W1:195.10  in hand with love, and where one is, the other must be found. For  gratitude is but an aspect of the love which is the Source of all
W1:195.10 —His own completion and the source of love, along with Him. Your  gratitude to Him is one with His to you. For love can walk no road

Tx:4.47  help is because you have repressed your own Guide and therefore need  guidance. My role is to separate the true from the false in your

Tx:4.102  to wherever you can be truly helpful and to whoever can follow my  guidance through you.
Tx:5.21  breaks through into its own. Before the separation you did not need  guidance. You knew as you will know again, but as you do not know
Tx:5.21  now. God does not guide because He can share only perfect knowledge.  Guidance is evaluative, because it implies that there is a right way
Tx:5.53  against yourself. Teaching is done in many ways: by formal means, by  guidance, and above all by example. Teaching is therapy, because it
Tx:6.45  will be glad when He has brought you home and you no longer need His  guidance. The ego does not regard itself as part of you. Herein lies

Tx:13.78  not fail to learn what God wills for you is your will. Without His  guidance, you will think you know alone and will decide against your

Tx:11.86  end. The world you see is the delusional system of those made mad by  guilt. Look carefully at this world, and you will realize that this
Tx:11.87  and this is the ego's interpretation, not God's. Only the world of  guilt could demand this, for only the guilty could conceive of it.
Tx:11.89  for sharing the Father's love for His Son, He wills to remove all  guilt from his mind that he may remember his Father in peace. For
Tx:11.89  his mind that he may remember his Father in peace. For peace and  guilt are antithetical, and the Father can be remembered only in
Tx:11.89  and the Father can be remembered only in peace. Love and  guilt cannot coexist, and to accept one is to deny the other. Guilt
Tx:11.89  and guilt cannot coexist, and to accept one is to deny the other.  Guilt hides Christ from your sight, for it is the denial of the
Tx:11.90  him invisible, the world of retribution rose in the black cloud of  guilt which you accepted, and you hold it dear. For the blamelessness
Tx:11.90  Christ is the proof that the ego never was and can never be. Without  guilt the ego has no life, and God's Son is without guilt. As you
Tx:11.90  be. Without guilt the ego has no life, and God's Son is without  guilt. As you look upon yourselves and judge what you do honestly, as
Tx:11.94  the Atonement for yourselves, you will realize that there is no  guilt in God's Son. And only as you look upon him as guiltless can
Tx:11.94  him as guiltless can you understand his oneness. For the idea of  guilt brings a belief in condemnation of one by another, projecting
Tx:11.95  always been. Let the holiness of God's Son shine away the cloud of  guilt that darkens your mind, and by accepting his purity as yours,
Tx:11.96  because you are guiltless. You can hold on to the past only through  guilt. For guilt establishes that you will be punished for what you
Tx:11.96  are guiltless. You can hold on to the past only through guilt. For  guilt establishes that you will be punished for what you have done
Tx:11.96  who believes this can understand what always means. And therefore  guilt must deprive you of the appreciation of eternity. You are
Tx:11.96  You are immortal because you are eternal and always must be now.  Guilt, then, is a way of holding past and future in your minds to
Tx:11.97  The future, in time, is always associated with expiation, and only  guilt could induce a sense of need for expiation. Accepting the
Tx:11.98 You cannot dispel  guilt by making it real and then atoning for it. This is the ego's
Tx:11.98  to the insane notion that attack is salvation. And you who cherish  guilt must also believe it, for how else but by identifying with the
Tx:11.99  attack yourself because you are guilty, and this must increase the  guilt, for guilt is the result of attack. In the ego's teaching,
Tx:11.99  because you are guilty, and this must increase the guilt, for  guilt is the result of attack. In the ego's teaching, then, there is
Tx:11.99  of attack. In the ego's teaching, then, there is no escape from  guilt. For attack makes guilt real, and if it is real, there is no
Tx:11.99  teaching, then, there is no escape from guilt. For attack makes  guilt real, and if it is real, there is no way to overcome it. The
Tx:11.99  And being true for you, you cannot attack yourself, for without  guilt, attack is impossible. You, then, are saved because God's Son
Tx:12.1  purpose of projection, as the ego uses it, is always to get rid of  guilt. Yet, characteristically, the ego attempts to get rid of guilt
Tx:12.1  of guilt. Yet, characteristically, the ego attempts to get rid of  guilt from its viewpoint only, for much as the ego wants to retain
Tx:12.1  guilt from its viewpoint only, for much as the ego wants to retain  guilt, you find it intolerable, since guilt stands in the way of your
Tx:12.1  as the ego wants to retain guilt, you find it intolerable, since  guilt stands in the way of your remembering God, Whose pull is so
Tx:12.1  then, the deepest split of all occurs, for if you are to retain  guilt as the ego insists, you cannot be you. Only by persuading you
Tx:12.1  you that it is you, could the ego possibly induce you to project  guilt and thereby keep it in your mind.
Tx:12.2  how strange a solution the ego's arrangement is. You project  guilt to get rid of it, but you are actually merely concealing it.
Tx:12.2  of it, but you are actually merely concealing it. You do experience  guilt feelings, but you have no idea why. On the contrary, you
Tx:12.3 The darkest of your hidden cornerstones holds your belief in  guilt from your awareness. For in that dark and secret place is the
Tx:12.4  ego's strange behavior is directly attributable to its definition of  guilt. To the ego, the guiltless are guilty. Those who do not attack
Tx:12.5  who you are and identifying with something else. You have projected  guilt blindly and indiscriminately, but you have not uncovered its
Tx:12.6  the ego is god, and guiltlessness must be interpreted as the final  guilt which fully justifies murder. You do not yet understand that
Tx:12.8 The Atonement has always been interpreted as the release from  guilt, and this is correct if it is understood. Yet even when I have
Tx:12.26  that is meaningful. You will remember that we said its emphasis on  guilt enables it to ensure its continuity by making the future like
Tx:12.47  lies your release. For if He is as He was created, there is no  guilt in Him. No cloud of guilt has risen to obscure Him, and He
Tx:12.47  if He is as He was created, there is no guilt in Him. No cloud of  guilt has risen to obscure Him, and He stands revealed in everyone
Tx:13.11  Guilt remains the only thing that hides the Father, for guilt is the
Tx:13.11 Guilt remains the only thing that hides the Father, for  guilt is the attack upon His Son. The guilty always condemn, and
Tx:13.12 Release from  guilt is the ego's whole undoing. Make no one fearful, for his guilt
Tx:13.12  from guilt is the ego's whole undoing. Make no one fearful, for his  guilt is yours, and by obeying the ego's harsh commandments, you
Tx:13.14  distinction. Therefore, you cannot value one without the other, and  guilt has become as true for you as innocence. You do not believe the
Tx:13.14  have freed him from the past and lifted from his mind the cloud of  guilt that binds him to it. And in his freedom would have been your
Tx:13.15 Lay not his  guilt upon him, for his guilt lies in his secret that he thinks that
Tx:13.15 Lay not his guilt upon him, for his  guilt lies in his secret that he thinks that he has done this unto
Tx:13.16  that you offer the Son of God lies the conviction of your own  guilt. If you would have the Holy Spirit make you free of it, accept
Tx:13.16  of God in part. Those whom you see as guilty become the witnesses to  guilt in you, and you will see it there, for it is there until it is
Tx:13.16  you, and you will see it there, for it is there until it is undone.  Guilt is always in your own mind, which has condemned itself. Project
Tx:13.16  you do, it cannot be undone. With everyone whom you release from  guilt, great is the joy in Heaven, where the witnesses to your
Tx:13.17  Guilt makes you blind, for while you see one spot of guilt within
Tx:13.17 Guilt makes you blind, for while you see one spot of  guilt within you, you will not see the light. And by projecting it,
Tx:13.17  And by projecting it, the world seems dark and shrouded in your  guilt. You throw a dark veil over it and cannot see it because you
Tx:13.18 Do not be afraid to look within. The ego tells you all is black with  guilt within you and bids you not to look. Instead, it bids you look
Tx:13.18  to look. Instead, it bids you look upon your brothers and see the  guilt in them. Yet this you cannot do without remaining blind. For
Tx:13.19  there is no difference, for He knows not of differences. Can you see  guilt where God knows there is perfect innocence? You can deny His
Tx:13.20  doubtful service of displacement is to hide the real source of your  guilt and keep from your awareness the full perception that it is
Tx:13.20  be true and must be fearful, or you would not have displaced the  guilt onto what you believed to be less fearful. You are therefore
Tx:13.21  for that is why they are insane. No real relationship can rest on  guilt or even hold one spot of it to mar its purity. For all
Tx:13.21  hold one spot of it to mar its purity. For all relationships which  guilt has touched are used but to avoid the person and the guilt.
Tx:13.21  which guilt has touched are used but to avoid the person and the  guilt. What strange relationships you have made for this strange
Tx:13.21  Spirit, and it is that which makes them pure. [If you displace your  guilt upon them, the Holy Spirit cannot use them.] For by preempting
Tx:13.22 In any union with a brother in which you seek to lay your  guilt upon him or share it with him or perceive his own, you will
Tx:13.22  with him, because your union with him is not real. You will see  guilt in that relationship because you put it there. It is inevitable
Tx:13.22  because you put it there. It is inevitable that those who suffer  guilt will attempt to displace it, because they do believe in it.
Tx:13.22  what loving is. Their main concern is to perceive the source of  guilt outside themselves, beyond their own control.
Tx:13.24  you would have yourself be welcome to your Father, you will see no  guilt in you. For you will have accepted the Atonement, which shone
Tx:13.24  the Atonement, which shone within you all the while you dreamed of  guilt and would not look within and see it.
Tx:13.25 As long as you believe that  guilt is justified in any way in anyone whatever he may do, you will
Tx:13.25  not look within, where you would always find Atonement. The end of  guilt will never come as long as you believe there is a reason for
Tx:13.25  as you believe there is a reason for it. For you must learn that  guilt is always totally insane and has no reason. The Holy Spirit
Tx:13.25  and has no reason. The Holy Spirit seeks not to dispel reality. If  guilt were real, Atonement would not be. The purpose of Atonement is
Tx:13.26  you from. What He has saved you from is gone. Give no reality to  guilt, and see no reason for it. The Holy Spirit does what God would
Tx:13.27  As yet it is not now. The Son of God believes that he is lost in  guilt, alone in a dark world where pain is pressing everywhere upon
Tx:13.27  not and looked upon him as condemned. The moment that you realize  guilt is insane, wholly unjustified, and wholly without reason, you
Tx:13.28  not to look upon the lovely truth in you. Look through the cloud of  guilt that dims your vision, and look past darkness to the holy place
Tx:13.29 Release from  guilt as you would be released. There is no other way to look within
Tx:13.29  and see your holiness. You cannot be as you believed you were. Your  guilt is without reason, because it is not in the Mind of God where
Tx:13.30  you single out part of the Sonship for your love, you are imposing  guilt on all your relationships and making them unreal. You can love
Tx:13.31  look upon his holiness and offer thanks unto his Father that no  guilt has ever touched him.
Tx:13.32  his innocence in any way. His shining purity, wholly untouched by  guilt and wholly loving, is bright within you. Let us look upon him
Tx:13.32  yourself, and gladness and appreciation for what you see will banish  guilt forever. I thank You, Father, for the purity of Your most holy
Tx:13.34  can even think on it. Before the glorious radiance of the Kingdom,  guilt melts away and, transformed into kindness, will never more be
Tx:13.35  advice for how to deal with the perceived and harsh intrusion of  guilt on peace. Yet no one sees himself in conflict and ravaged by a
Tx:13.36  freedom. Nothing destructive ever was or will be. The war, the  guilt, the past are gone as one into the unreality from which they
Tx:13.39 You whose minds are darkened by doubt and  guilt, remember this: God gave the Holy Spirit to you and gave Him
Tx:13.39  you and gave Him the mission to remove all doubt and every trace of  guilt that His dear Son has laid upon himself. It is impossible that
Tx:13.49  If what you offer is complete forgiveness, you must have let  guilt go, accepting the Atonement for yourself and learning you are
Tx:13.64  because his thoughts are free. Yet this entails the recognition that  guilt is interference, not salvation, and serves no useful function
Tx:13.65  are accustomed to using guiltlessness merely to offset the pain of  guilt and do not look upon it as having value in itself. You believe
Tx:13.65  and do not look upon it as having value in itself. You believe that  guilt and guiltlessness are both of value, each representing an
Tx:13.65  can you be happy. There is no conflict here. To wish for  guilt in any way, in any form, will lose appreciation of the value of
Tx:13.66 There is no compromise that you can make with  guilt and escape the pain which only guiltlessness allays. Learning
Tx:13.66  is living here, as creating is being in Heaven. Whenever the pain of  guilt seems to attract you, remember that, if you yield to it, you
Tx:13.68  between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego is the choice for  guilt; the Holy Spirit the decision for guiltlessness. The power of
Tx:13.69  attesting to your happiness that comes from choosing to be free of  guilt. Everyone you offer healing to returns it. Everyone you attack
Tx:13.71  There is nothing to forgive. No one can hurt the Son of God. His  guilt is wholly without cause, and being without cause, cannot exist.
Tx:13.72 God is the only Cause, and  guilt is not of Him. Teach no one he has hurt you, for if you do, you
Tx:13.72  or choose to look upon without imposing on himself the penalty of  guilt in place of all the happy teaching the Holy Spirit would gladly
Tx:13.73  invulnerable. But those who believe they are guilty will respond to  guilt because they think it is salvation and will not refuse to see
Tx:13.73  not refuse to see it and side with it. [They believe that increasing  guilt is self-protection.] And they will fail to understand the
Tx:13.77  saved from. The Holy Spirit knows that all salvation is escape from  guilt. You have no other “enemy,” and against this strange distortion
Tx:13.79  “sin” of self-replacement on the throne of God is not a source of  guilt. What cannot happen can have no effects to fear. Be quiet in
Tx:13.89  till you learn this. For in the end, whatever form it takes, your  guilt arises from your failure to fulfill your function in God's Mind
Tx:13.89  your function in God's Mind with all of yours. Can you escape this  guilt by failing to fulfill your function here? You need not
Tx:13.91  upon yourself by loving not the Son of God and trying to teach him  guilt instead of love. Give up this frantic and insane attempt, which
Tx:13.92  whether this is not more restful than sleep. For you can bring your  guilt into sleeping but not into this.
Tx:14.5  Spirit and to God through Him. He speaks of you to you. There is no  guilt in you, for God is blessed in His Son as the Son is blessed in
Tx:14.6  that his true function remains unfulfilled in him. The burden of  guilt is heavy, but God would not have you bound by it. His plan for
Tx:14.7  here is to devote yourself with active willingness to the denial of  guilt in all its forms. To accuse is not to understand. The happy
Tx:14.8  his creation. Do not try to steal it from him, or you will ask for  guilt and will experience it. Protect his purity from every thought
Tx:14.8  allow purity to remain hidden, but shine away the heavy veils of  guilt within which the Son of God has hidden himself from his own
Tx:14.9  to be free of pain? He may not yet have learned how to exchange his  guilt for innocence nor realize that only in this exchange can
Tx:14.10  made on its behalf is offered for the single purpose of release from  guilt to the eternal glory of God and His creation. And every
Tx:14.11  right of God's creation. From everyone whom you accord release from  guilt, you will inevitably learn your innocence. The circle of
Tx:14.12  Joy is its unifying attribute, with no one left outside to suffer  guilt alone. The power of God draws everyone to its safe embrace of
Tx:14.12  holiness. Abide with me within it as teachers of Atonement, not of  guilt.
Tx:14.14  became my part in it. That is the symbol of the release from  guilt by guiltlessness. Whom you perceive as guilty, you would
Tx:14.19  because destruction is not true. The light of guiltlessness shines  guilt away because, when they are brought together, the truth of one
Tx:14.19  one must make the falsity of its opposite perfectly clear. Keep not  guilt and guiltlessness apart, for your belief that you can have them
Tx:14.32  Son. All this lies hidden in every darkened place shrouded in  guilt and in the dark denial of innocence. Behind the dark doors
Tx:14.33  by gifts wholly acceptable to Father and to Son. Can you offer  guilt to God? You cannot, then, offer it to His Son. For they are not
Tx:14.46  as surely as the reflection of holiness calls everyone to lay all  guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven here and bring this world to
Tx:14.68 How can you, so firmly bound to  guilt and committed so to remain, establish for yourself your
Tx:14.70  His bright teaching so firmly in your mind that no dark lessons of  guilt can abide in what He has established as holy by His Presence.
Tx:15.5  cannot conceive of its own death, it will pursue you still because  guilt is eternal. Such is the ego's version of immortality. And it is
Tx:15.7  believe that it can offer the escape from it. But the belief in  guilt must lead to the belief in hell, and always does. The only way
Tx:15.8  to its teaching, is nothing but a teaching device for compounding  guilt until it becomes all-encompassing and demands vengeance forever.
Tx:15.9  present extends forever. It is so beautiful and so clean and free of  guilt that nothing but happiness is there. No darkness is remembered,
Tx:15.14  cleanness of the release you give is your instantaneous escape from  guilt. You must be holy if you offer holiness. How long is an
Tx:15.31  we can replace the shabby littleness that binds the host of God to  guilt and weakness with the glad awareness of the glory that is in
Tx:15.46  We said before that to limit love to part of the Sonship is to bring  guilt into your relationships and thus make them unreal. If you seek
Tx:15.46  you are attempting to use separation to save you. How, then, could  guilt not enter? For separation is the source of guilt, and to appeal
Tx:15.46  How, then, could guilt not enter? For separation is the source of  guilt, and to appeal to it for salvation is to believe you are alone.
Tx:15.48 Because of  guilt, all special relationships have some elements of fear in them.
Tx:15.49  offer Him your willingness to have it serve no need but His. All the  guilt in it arises from your use of it. All the love from His. Do
Tx:15.56  to use one relationship at the expense of another and not suffer  guilt. And it is equally impossible to condemn part of a relationship
Tx:15.56  only from perfect faith in yourself. And this you cannot have while  guilt remains. And there will be guilt as long as you accept the
Tx:15.56  And this you cannot have while guilt remains. And there will be  guilt as long as you accept the possibility, and cherish it, that you
Tx:15.65  get something. And it would keep the giver bound to itself through  guilt.
Tx:15.66  attraction at all to anyone who perceives that it attracts through  guilt.
Tx:15.67 The sick attraction of  guilt must be recognized for what it is. For having been made real to
Tx:15.67  choose to let go what he believes has value. Yet the attraction of  guilt has value to you only because you have not looked at what it is
Tx:15.68 We said before that the ego attempts to maintain and increase  guilt, but in such a way that you do not recognize what it would do
Tx:15.69 It is this chain that binds the Son of God to  guilt, and it is this chain the Holy Spirit would remove from his
Tx:15.71  which he demanded of himself, he demands the other accept the  guilt and sacrifice himself as well. Forgiveness becomes impossible,
Tx:15.71  it is only by attack without forgiveness that the ego can ensure the  guilt which holds all its relationships together.
Tx:15.72  as good or bad. What makes another guilty and holds him through  guilt is “good.” What releases him from guilt is “bad,” because he
Tx:15.72  guilty and holds him through guilt is “good.” What releases him from  guilt is “bad,” because he would no longer believe that bodies
Tx:15.73  dedicated to the continuance of loneliness, they seek relief from  guilt by increasing it in the other. For they believe that this
Tx:15.74  but it cannot long deceive those who will learn that love brings no  guilt at all, and what brings guilt cannot be love and must be anger.
Tx:15.74  who will learn that love brings no guilt at all, and what brings  guilt cannot be love and must be anger. All anger is nothing more
Tx:15.74  is the only basis which the ego accepts for special relationships.  Guilt is the only need the ego has, and as long as you identify with
Tx:15.74  is the only need the ego has, and as long as you identify with it,  guilt will remain attractive to you.
Tx:15.76  compelled to attempt to keep your brother in his body, held there by  guilt. And you will see safety in guilt and danger in communication.
Tx:15.76  brother in his body, held there by guilt. And you will see safety in  guilt and danger in communication. For the ego will always teach that
Tx:15.76  For the ego will always teach that loneliness is solved by  guilt and that communication is the cause of loneliness. And despite
Tx:15.77 Forgiveness lies in communication as surely as damnation lies in  guilt. It is the Holy Spirit's teaching function to instruct those
Tx:15.77  making it evident that it is not impossible. In the holy instant,  guilt holds no attraction, since communication has been restored. And
Tx:15.77  holds no attraction, since communication has been restored. And  guilt, whose only purpose is to disrupt communication, has no
Tx:15.80  calls to you to share your will with them. Turn, then, in peace from  guilt to God and them.
Tx:15.90  that you could see. But this you must remember—the attraction of  guilt opposes the attraction of God. His attraction for you remains
Tx:15.90  is as great as His, you can turn away from love. What you invest in  guilt, you withdraw from God. And your sight grows weak and dim and
Tx:15.92  of the Father and the Son. For in this world, the attraction of  guilt does stand between them. Neither time nor season means anything
Tx:15.93  is truly the time of Christ. For in this liberating instant, no  guilt is laid upon the Son of God, and his unlimited power is thus
Tx:15.94  separately. When you are willing to accept our relationship as real,  guilt will hold no attraction for you. For in our union, you will
Tx:15.96  you would accept but this one idea, your fear of love would vanish.  Guilt cannot last when the idea of sacrifice has been removed. For if
Tx:15.97 As host to the ego, you believe that you can give all your  guilt away whatever you think and purchase peace. And the payment
Tx:15.98  and is therefore inseparable from attack and fear. And that  guilt is the price of love, which must be paid by fear. How fearful,
Tx:15.104  learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice brings  guilt as surely as love brings peace. Guilt is the condition of
Tx:15.104  love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love brings peace.  Guilt is the condition of sacrifice, as peace is the condition for
Tx:15.104  condition for the awareness of your relationship with God. Through  guilt you exclude your Father and your brothers from yourself.
Tx:16.32  the destructive effects of hate by finding a haven in the storm of  guilt. It makes no attempt to rise above the storm into the sunlight.
Tx:16.32  above the storm into the sunlight. On the contrary, it emphasizes  guilt outside the haven by attempting to build barricades against it
Tx:16.33  which they would not share with others, are trying to live with  guilt rather than die of it. This is the choice they see. And love to
Tx:16.37  in truth, not in illusion. Your relationship with them is without  guilt, and this enables you to look on all your brothers with
Tx:16.43  realize that it involves a great amount of pain. Anxiety, despair,  guilt, and attack all enter into it, broken into by periods in which
Tx:16.44  and one which has the most appeal to those unwilling to relinquish  guilt. The “dynamics” of the ego are clearest here, for counting on
Tx:16.50  is nothing more than an “attractive” form of fear in which the  guilt is buried deep and rises in the form of “love.”
Tx:16.51 The appeal of hell lies only in the terrible attraction of  guilt, which the ego holds out to those who place their faith in
Tx:16.52  would you want it? Let us not think of its fearful nature nor of the  guilt it must entail nor of the sadness and the loneliness. For these
Tx:16.60  is His most helpful tool in protecting you from the attraction of  guilt, the real lure in the special relationship. You do not
Tx:16.60  relationship, the more apparent it becomes that it must foster  guilt and therefore must imprison.
Tx:16.65  For you are no longer wholly insane, and you would recognize the  guilt of self-betrayal for what it is.
Tx:16.67  come too far to yield to the illusion of the beauty and holiness of  guilt. Only the wholly insane could look on death and suffering,
Tx:16.67  on death and suffering, sickness and despair and see it thus. What  guilt has wrought is ugly, fearful, and very dangerous. See no
Tx:17.25  of beauty or the veil of ugliness, the real world or the world of  guilt and fear, truth or illusion, freedom or slavery—it is all the
Tx:18.6  for such it was, and so it still remains. Invest it not with  guilt, for guilt implies it was accomplished in reality. And above
Tx:18.6  such it was, and so it still remains. Invest it not with guilt, for  guilt implies it was accomplished in reality. And above all, be not
Tx:18.7  but believe it is the other way; that truth is outside and error and  guilt within. Your little senseless substitutions, touched with
Tx:18.17  that reality is fearful, not what you would do to it. And thus is  guilt made real.
Tx:18.18  that you are making them act out for you, for if you did, the  guilt would not be theirs, and the illusion of satisfaction would be
Tx:18.20  Your special relationship will remain, not as a source of pain and  guilt, but as a source of joy and freedom. It will not be for you
Tx:18.21 Your special relationship will be a means for undoing  guilt in everyone blessed through your holy relationship. It will be
Tx:18.38  will merely take away the little that is asked. Remember you made  guilt and that your plan for the escape from guilt has been to bring
Tx:18.38  Remember you made guilt and that your plan for the escape from  guilt has been to bring Atonement to it and make salvation fearful.
Tx:18.42  from your mind. That is its function. Never attempt to overlook your  guilt before you ask the Holy Spirit's help. That is His function.
Tx:18.50  done a stranger thing than you yet realize. You have displaced your  guilt to your bodies from your minds. Yet a body cannot be guilty,
Tx:18.50  you hate your bodies deceive yourselves. You hate your minds, for  guilt has entered into them, and they would remain separate, which
Tx:18.51  it is mind that seems to be fragmented and private and alone. Its  guilt, which keeps it separate, is projected to the body, which
Tx:18.51  it will attack the body by increasing the projection of its  guilt upon it.
Tx:18.52  does when it believes it has attacked the body. It can project its  guilt, but it will not lose it through projection. And though it
Tx:18.54 It is insane to use the body as the scapegoat for  guilt, directing its attack and blaming it for what you wished it to
Tx:18.54  hate, the instrument of vengeance and the perceived source of your  guilt. You have done this to a thing that has no meaning, proclaiming
Tx:18.55  of vengeance, violence, and death. This thing you made to serve your  guilt stands between you and other minds. The minds are joined, but

Tx:19.74  sent away from you in the belief that for your message of attack and  guilt will someone other than yourself suffer. And even if you
Tx:19.75  rule. Not one but must believe that yielding to the attraction of  guilt is the escape from pain. Not one but must regard the body as
Tx:19.77  death. What seems to be the fear of death is really its attraction.  Guilt, too, is feared and fearful. Yet it could have no hold at all
Tx:19.80 From the ego came sin and  guilt and death, in opposition to life and innocence and to the Will

Tx:21.29  often of the other. Thus in the “fairness” you attempt to ease the  guilt that comes from the accepted purpose of the relationship. And
Tx:22.8  your fear of sin protect it from correction, for the attraction of  guilt is only fear. Here is the one emotion that you made, whatever

Tx:4.61 When you feel  guilty, know that the ego has indeed violated the laws of God, but
Tx:4.61  ego has hurt, the Atonement cannot release you. As long as you feel  guilty, your ego is in command because only the ego can experience
Tx:5.61  that if you identify with the ego, you must perceive yourself as  guilty. Whenever you respond to your ego, you will experience guilt

Tx:13.11  laws of punishment. And those who follow them believe that they are  guilty, and so they must condemn. Between the future and the past,
Tx:13.14  see him not. When you condemn a brother, you are saying, “I who was  guilty choose to remain so.” You have denied his freedom, and by so
Tx:13.15  that the guiltless Son of God can attack himself and make himself  guilty is insane. In any form, in anyone, believe this not. For sin

Tx:21.60  and still perceive the other innocent. Who looks upon himself as  guilty and sees a sinless world? And who can see a sinful world and
Tx:23.28  inevitable loss the enemy must suffer to save yourself. Thus do the  guilty ones protest their “innocence.” Were they not forced into this
Tx:25.38  And who, because he wishes to attack, can fail to think it must be  guilty to deserve the wish and leave him innocent? And who would see
Tx:26.14  There is no such thing as partial justice. If the Son of God is  guilty, then is he condemned, and he deserves no mercy from the God
Tx:26.14  God of justice. But ask not God to punish him because you find him  guilty and would have him die. God offers you the means to see his
Tx:26.59  while cherishing attack. Its failure lies in that you still feel  guilty, though without understanding why. Effects are seen as

Tx:29.44  dream that there is something outside of himself that will bring  happiness and peace to him. If everything is in him, this cannot be

W1:66.4  gives you only happiness. Therefore the function He gave you must be  happiness, even if it appears to be different. Today's exercises are
W1:66.6 God gives me only  happiness. He has given my function to me. Therefore my function must
W1:66.6  He has given my function to me. Therefore my function must be  happiness.
W1:66.8 The first premise is that God gives you only  happiness. This could be false, of course, but in order to be false
W1:66.8  God as something He is not. Love cannot give evil, and what is not  happiness is evil. God cannot give what He does not have, and He
W1:66.8  have, and He cannot have what He is not. Unless God gives you only  happiness, He must be evil. And it is this definition of Him which
W1:66.12  fairly and consider also whether it was ever reasonable to expect  happiness from anything the ego ever proposed. Yet the ego is the
W1:66.15 My  happiness and function are one because God has given me both.
W1:69.9  possible in view of the importance of today's idea to you and your  happiness, remind yourself that your grievances are hiding the light
W1:73.7 Suffering is not  happiness, and it is happiness you really want. Such is your will in
W1:73.7 Suffering is not happiness, and it is  happiness you really want. Such is your will in truth. And so
W1:83.5 [66] My  happiness and my function are one. All things that come from God are
W1:83.5  Oneness and must be received as one. Fulfilling my function is my  happiness because both come from the same Source. And I must learn to
W1:83.5  And I must learn to recognize what makes me happy if I would find  happiness.
W1:83.7 This cannot separate my  happiness from my function. The oneness of my happiness and my
W1:83.7 This cannot separate my happiness from my function. The oneness of my  happiness and my function remains wholly unaffected by this. Nothing,
W1:83.7  by this. Nothing, including this, can justify the illusion of  happiness apart from my function.
W1:92.6 Truth is a savior and can only will for  happiness and peace for everyone. It gives its strength to everyone
W1:95.19 Do not forget today. We need your help, your little part in bringing  happiness to all the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence
W1:96.5  with itself. Without its function then, it has no peace, and  happiness is alien to its thoughts.
W1:98.5  worth five minutes of your time each hour to be able to accept the  happiness that God has given you? Is it not worth five minutes hourly
W1:98.11  you to understand your special function. He will open up the way to  happiness, and peace and trust will be His gifts, His answer to your
W1:100.2 God's Will for you is perfect  happiness. Why should you choose to go against His Will? The part
W1:100.2  to what He wills. This part is as essential to His plan as to your  happiness. Your joy must be complete to let His plan be understood by
W1:100.4  heals sorrow and despair. They are the proof that God wills perfect  happiness for all who will accept their Father's gifts as theirs.
W1:100.5  to you by God. Thus do you fail to show the world how great the  happiness He wills for you. And so you do not recognize that it is
W1:100.7 You are God's messenger today. You bring His  happiness to all you look upon, His peace to everyone who looks on
W1:100.7  for this today in our five minute practice periods by feeling  happiness arise in us according to our Father's Will and ours.
W1:101.1 Today we will continue with the theme of  happiness. This is a key idea in understanding what salvation means.
W1:101.2 If sin is real then  happiness must be illusion, for they cannot both be true. The sinful
W1:101.6  it is the basis for today's idea. God's Will for you is perfect  happiness because there is no sin, and suffering is causeless. Joy is
W1:101.8 God's Will for me is perfect  happiness. There is no sin; it has no consequence.
W1:101.11 God's Will for me is perfect  happiness. This is the truth because there is no sin.
W1:102.3  longer practice periods to exercises planned to help you reach the  happiness God's Will has placed in you. Here is your home, and here
W1:102.5 I share God's Will for  happiness for me, and I accept it as my function now.
W1:102.7 Be happy, for your only function here is  happiness. You have no need to be less loving to God's Son than He
W1:102.7  pause frequently today to tell yourself that you have now accepted  happiness as your one function. And be sure that you are joining with
W1:103.1  Happiness is an attribute of love. It cannot be apart from it, nor
W1:103.2 This strange belief would limit  happiness by redefining love as limited and introducing opposition in
W1:103.4 God, being Love, is also  happiness. To fear Him is to be afraid of joy.
W1:103.5  which corrects the false belief that God is fear. It also emphasizes  happiness belongs to you because of what He is.
W1:103.6  placed within your mind each waking hour today. Then welcome all the  happiness it brings, as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you
W1:103.7 God, being Love, is also  happiness. And it is happiness I seek today. I cannot fail because I
W1:103.7 God, being Love, is also happiness. And it is  happiness I seek today. I cannot fail because I seek the truth.
W1:106.3  truth. Go past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your  happiness within His hand, held out to you in welcome and in love.
W1:109.1  all the turmoil born of clashing dreams. We ask for safety and for  happiness, although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow. And we
W1:109.2  you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety and the  happiness you seek. “I rest in God.” This thought has power to wake
W1:116.2 [101] God's Will for me is perfect  happiness. God's Will is perfect happiness for me. And I can suffer
W1:116.2 [101] God's Will for me is perfect happiness. God's Will is perfect  happiness for me. And I can suffer but from the belief there is
W1:116.3 [102] I share God's Will for  happiness for me. I share my Father's Will for me, His Son. What He
W1:116.5 God's Will for me is perfect  happiness.
W1:116.7 I share God's Will for  happiness for me.
W1:117.2 [103] God, being Love, is also  happiness. Let me remember love is happiness and nothing else brings
W1:117.2 [103] God, being Love, is also happiness. Let me remember love is  happiness and nothing else brings joy. And so I choose to entertain
W1:117.5 God, being Love, is also  happiness.
W1:118.2  joy in glad exchange for all the substitutes which I have made for  happiness and peace.
W1:121.8  forgive. If you are willing, you can learn today to take the key to  happiness and use it on your own behalf. We will devote ten minutes
W1:121.13  not forget throughout the day the role forgiveness plays in bringing  happiness to every unforgiving mind, with yours among them. Every
W1:121.14 Forgiveness is the key to  happiness. I will awaken from the dream that I am mortal, fallible,
W1:122.1  cannot give? Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you want  happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of worth
W1:122.2  and attack. And when you wake again, it offers you another day of  happiness and peace. All this forgiveness offers you, and more.
W1:122.11 Sink into  happiness as you begin these practice periods, for they hold out the
W1:124.3  equal love in which we were created, smiles on us and offers us the  happiness we gave. Today we will not doubt His Love for us nor
W1:133.2  buy, to eminence as valued by the world, you ask for sorrow, not for  happiness. This course does not attempt to take from you the little
W1:135.21  to be its own. And it will lead you on in ways appointed for your  happiness according to the ancient plan begun when time was born.
W1:135.28  believe would benefit you most. For you cannot conceive of all the  happiness that comes to you without your planning. Learn today. And
W1:136.13  plan defenses which would alter it. Truth merely wants to give you  happiness, for such its purpose is. Perhaps it sighs a little when
W1:139.8  us not forget the goal that we accepted. It is more than just our  happiness alone we came to gain. What we accept as what we are
W1:R4.11  them be the messages they are. We need no more than this to give us  happiness and rest and endless quiet, perfect certainty, and all our
W1:R4.12  the thought that made the day a special time of blessing and of  happiness for us and through our faithfulness restored the world from
W1:141.1 [121] Forgiveness is the key to  happiness.
W1:151.14  them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the  happiness God wills His Son as proof of His eternal Love. And as each
W1:153.8  the endless joy our function offers us. We would not let our  happiness slip by because a senseless fragment of a dream happened to
W1:153.10  be with them. Who is holier than they? Who could be surer that his  happiness is fully guaranteed? And who could be more mightily
W1:153.12  teach them that the game of fear is gone. His game instructs in  happiness because there is no loser. Everyone who plays must win, and
W1:155.7  lead your brothers from the ways of death and set them on the way to  happiness. Their suffering is but illusion. Yet they need a guide to
W1:159.6  with perfect certainty for everything that can contribute to your  happiness. All are laid here already. All can be received but for the
W1:162.2 Here is the Word by which the Son became His Father's  happiness, His Love, and His completion. Here creation is proclaimed
W1:165.1  What but your thoughts of misery and death obscure the perfect  happiness and the Eternal Life your Father wills for you? And what
W1:165.2  soft your resting place and smooth your way, lighting your mind with  happiness and love. Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind
W1:166.1  without exception, holding nothing back that can contribute to your  happiness. And yet unless your will is one with His, His gifts are
W1:166.13  is another way for them to walk. Teach them by showing them the  happiness that comes to those who feel the touch of Christ and
W1:166.15  everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to you. Be witness in your  happiness to how transformed the mind becomes which chooses to accept
W1:185.8  Consider but what you believe will comfort you and bring you  happiness. But be you not dismayed by lingering illusions, for their
W1:191.5  he gives to everyone in gratitude to Him Who pointed out the way to  happiness that changed his whole perception of the world.
W1:193.1  His Will extends to what He does not understand in that He wills the  happiness His Son inherited of Him be undisturbed, eternal and
W1:195.2  all pain is healed and suffering replaced with laughter and with  happiness. Nor could the even partly sane refuse to take the steps
W1:199.8  practice brings even to it. And God Himself extends His Love and  happiness each time you say:
W1:200.2  which each one must come at last, to lay aside all hope of finding  happiness where there is none, of being saved by what can only hurt,
W1:200.3 Yet you can ask as easily for love, for  happiness, and for eternal life in peace that has no ending. Ask for
W1:200.4 Come home. You have not found your  happiness in foreign places and in alien forms which have no meaning
W2:235.1  disappear. I need but keep in mind my Father's Will for me is only  happiness to find that only happiness has come to me. And I need but
W2:235.1  in mind my Father's Will for me is only happiness to find that only  happiness has come to me. And I need but remember that His Love
W2:245.1  suffer pain or grieve for loss or think they are bereft of hope and  happiness. Send them to me, my Father. Let me bring Your peace with
W2:WIB.3 The body is a dream. Like other dreams, it sometimes seems to picture  happiness but can quite suddenly revert to fear, where every dream is
W2:272.1  by Your will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions bring me  happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I will accept
W2:281.1  and that he is as You created him. Your Thoughts can only bring me  happiness. If ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten what You
W2:287.1 Where would I go but Heaven? What could be a substitute for  happiness? What gift could I prefer before the peace of God? What
W2:290.1 Unless I look upon what is not there, my present  happiness is all I see. Eyes that begin to open see at last. And I
W2:290.1  I made is real an instant longer. This the day I seek my present  happiness and look on nothing else except the thing I seek.
W2:290.2  I ask have You already given me, and I am sure that I will see my  happiness today.
W2:307.1  it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your will alone can bring me  happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would have what only You can
W2:WILJ.3  fear complete release from suffering, return to peace, security and  happiness, and union with your own Identity.
W2:337.1  all thought of loss, complete deliverance from suffering. And only  happiness can be my state, for only happiness is given me. What must

Tx:13.64  the same as that which interferes with all your thinking. The  happy learner cannot feel guilty about learning. This is so essential
Tx:13.65  for without both, you do not see yourselves as whole and therefore  happy. Yet you are whole only in your guiltlessness, and only in your
Tx:13.65  in your guiltlessness, and only in your guiltlessness can you be  happy. There is no conflict here. To wish for guilt in any way, in

Tx:17.28  them by God. The function you have given them is clearly not to make  happy. But the holy relationship shares God's purpose, rather than

Tx:21.5  it would, the learning of it would be no problem. You are not  happy learners yet because you still remain uncertain that vision
Tx:21.17  of which is nothing. Suffer, and you decided sin was your goal. Be  happy, and you gave the power of decision to Him Who must decide for

Tx:27.35  to interfere with power unlimited and single thoughts, complete and  happy, without opposite. You do not know the peace of power which
Tx:27.70  is yours to make between a sleeping death and dreams of evil or a  happy wakening and joy of life. What could you choose between but
Tx:27.74  up your sleeping face. The sleep is peaceful now, for these are  happy dreams.

Tx:29.8  body is not real. And there are overtones of seeming fear around the  happy message, “God is love.”
Tx:29.29 How  happy would your dreams become if you were not the one who gave the
Tx:29.34  quiet that surrounds you dwells in him, and from this quiet come the  happy dreams in which your hands are joined in innocence. These are
Tx:29.42  And what a joyous thing it is to dwell a little while in such a  happy place! Nor can it be forgot in such a world, it is a little
Tx:29.43  found. What if it is not there? Do you prefer that you be right or  happy? Be you glad that you are told where happiness abides and seek
Tx:29.48  dream that you must find what is outside yourself to be complete and  happy. It is vain to worship idols in the hope of peace. God dwells
Tx:30.14  when once you have decided by yourself the rules which promise you a  happy day. Yet this decision still can be undone by simple methods
Tx:30.28 It must be clear that it is easier to have a  happy day if you prevent unhappiness from entering at all. But this
Tx:30.29 We said you can begin a  happy day with the determination not to make decisions by yourself.
Tx:30.32  Your judgment has been lifted from the world by your decision for a  happy day. And as you have received, so must you give.
Tx:30.55 Salvation is a paradox indeed! What could it be except a  happy dream? It asks you but that you forgive all things that no one
Tx:30.56  forgiveness be the substitute for fear. Such is the only rule for  happy dreams. The gap is emptied of the toys of fear, and then its
Tx:30.68  hand you hold. Look forward, then, and walk in confidence with  happy hearts that beat in hope and do not pound in fear.
Tx:30.90  by changing views of him which you perceive as his reality. The  happy dream about him takes the form of the appearance of his perfect
Tx:30.93  there to heal all things that change and offer them to you to see in  happy form, devoid of fear. It will be given you to look upon your
Tx:31.58  the world is loosening its grasp upon your mind. And be you sure and  happy in the confidence that it will go at last and leave your mind
Tx:31.67  you? So the world is seen as stable, fully worthy of your trust; a  happy place to rest in for a while, where nothing need be feared but
Tx:31.72  of him. And all this shift requires is that you be willing that this  happy change occur. No more than this is asked. On its behalf,
Tx:31.89 Learn then the  happy habit of response to all temptation to perceive yourself as
W1:12.8  truth be written upon it for you, it would make you indescribably  happy. But because it is meaningless, you are impelled to write upon
W1:17.8  as yet of any thoughts which are really true and therefore really  happy.
W1:20.2  to exert force or pressure. You want salvation. You want to be  happy. You want peace. You do not have them now because your mind is
W1:22.2  Is it not joyous news to hear that it is not real? Is it not a  happy discovery to find that you can escape? You made what you would
W1:24.1  which arises do you realize the outcome that would make you  happy. Therefore you have no guide to appropriate action and no way
W1:40.1 Today we will begin to assert some of the  happy things to which you are entitled, being what you are. No long
W1:40.4 I am blessed as a Son of God. I am  happy, peaceful, loving, and contented.
W1:59.5  that God is the Light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the  happy world it will show me.
W1:62.4  as possible throughout the day. It will help to make the day as  happy for you as God wants you to be. And it will help those around
W1:62.6  as the light of the world. I would fulfill my function that I may be  happy.
W1:62.9 I would remember this because I want to be  happy.
W1:63.3 Recognizing the importance of this function, we will be  happy to remember it very often today. We will begin the day by
W1:64.4  is you. Only by fulfilling the function given you by God will you be  happy. That is because your function is to be happy by using the
W1:64.4  you by God will you be happy. That is because your function is to be  happy by using the means by which happiness becomes inevitable.
W1:64.5  not to fulfill your function, you are really choosing whether to be  happy or not. Let us remember this today. Let us remind ourselves of
W1:64.8  Let me not try to substitute mine for God's. Let me forgive and be  happy.
W1:66.11  find salvation under the ego's guidance. Did you find it? Were you  happy? Did they bring you peace?
W1:73.9  against it. Therefore we undertake the exercises for today in  happy confidence, certain that we will find what it is your will to
W1:75.2 Today we celebrate the  happy ending to your long dream of disaster. There are no dark dreams
W1:75.3 Our exercises for today will be  happy ones in which we offer thanks for the passing of the old and
W1:83.5  from the same Source. And I must learn to recognize what makes me  happy if I would find happiness.
W1:86.5  in this insane way. I would accept God's plan for salvation and be  happy.
W1:97.8 Begin these  happy exercises with the words the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let
W1:98.2 How  happy to be certain! All our doubts we lay aside today and take our
W1:98.12 Throughout the hour, let your time be spent in  happy preparation for the next five minutes you will spend again with
W1:98.12  each time you do so, you have let your mind be readied for the  happy time to come.
W1:98.13  earthly tasks, all little thoughts and limited ideas, and spend a  happy time again with Him. Tell Him once more that you accept the

Tx:27.60  There is no need to suffer any more. But there is need that you be  healed, because the suffering of the world has made it deaf to its

Tx:29.11  healing's Cause, and so it must be you are healed. And being  healed, the power to heal must also now be yours. The miracle is not
Tx:29.13  who walk apart believing they are separate and alone. They will be  healed when you accept your gifts, because your Guest will welcome
Tx:30.37  to you to ask the world be saved, for by your own salvation it is  healed. And no one walks upon the earth but must depend on your
Tx:30.37  your will to heal him, and because you have decided with him, he is  healed. And now is God forgiven, for you chose to look upon your
Tx:30.74  be some appearances which could withstand the miracle and not be  healed by it.
Tx:30.77  And do not keep a part of him outside your willingness that he be  healed. To heal is to make whole. And what is whole can have no

W1:95.17 You are One Self, complete and  healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the

W1:135.13  this is so. But when it has accepted this as true, then is it  healed and lets the body go.

W1:136.19 Now is the body  healed because the source of sickness has been opened to relief. And
W1:136.21  to hurt you longer. Do not be confused about what must be  healed, but tell yourself:
W1:137.3 It is impossible that anyone be  healed alone. In sickness must he be apart and separate. But healing
W1:137.4  separation sickness would impose has never really happened. To be  healed is merely to accept what always was the simple truth and
W1:137.10  everything that ever caused you pain. And as you let yourself be  healed, you see all those around you or who cross your mind or whom

Tx:2.64 The  healer who relies on his own readiness is endangering his
Tx:5.10  Trinity which is symbolic. He is referred to in the Bible as the  Healer, the Comforter, and the Guide. He is also described as

Tx:5.49  led to a decision not to repeat the error, which is only part of  healing. Your concept lacked the idea of undoing it. What you were
Tx:5.57  those who have been forgiven must devote themselves first to  healing, because having received the idea of healing, they must give
Tx:5.57  themselves first to healing, because having received the idea of  healing, they must give it to hold it. The full power of creation
Tx:6.94  it. Once your mind is healed, it radiates health and thereby teaches  healing. This establishes you as a teacher who teaches like me.
Tx:7.31 As has so often been said,  healing is both an art and a science. It is an art, because it

Tx:7.32  Healing is also a science, because it obeys the laws of God, Whose
Tx:7.33  from the Voice for God, and certainty comes from the laws of God.  Healing does not come directly from God, Who knows His creations as
Tx:7.33  directly from God, Who knows His creations as perfectly whole. Yet  healing is [nevertheless] of God, because it proceeds from His Voice
Tx:7.35  Spirit, Who knows how to use them properly. He can use them only for  healing, because He knows you only as whole. By healing you learn of

Tx:7.37  know you have it. By not knowing this, you do not know what you are.  Healing, then, is a way of approaching knowledge by thinking in
Tx:7.38  who is all Being. You are therefore in Him since your being is His.  Healing is a way of forgetting the sense of danger the ego has
Tx:7.39  the body only for communication has such a direct connection with  healing that it does need clarification. The unhealed healer

Tx:7.42 Healing only strengthens. Magic always tries to weaken.  Healing perceives nothing in the healer that everyone else does not
Tx:7.42  something that others [do not]. You might well ask, then, why some  healing can result from this kind of thinking, and there is a reason
Tx:7.43  to the Sonship, and the only thing the Sonship can accept is  healing. When the so-called “healing” works, then, the impulse to
Tx:7.44 The Holy Spirit does not work by chance, and  healing that is of Him always works. Unless the healer always heals
Tx:7.44  Unless the healer always heals by Him, the results will vary. Yet  healing itself is consistence since only consistence is

Tx:7.45  does. Fear produces dissociation, because it induces separation.  Healing always produces harmony, because it proceeds from integration.
Tx:7.46  Healing is predictable, because it can be counted on. Everything that
Tx:7.46  of God can be counted on, because everything of God is wholly real.  Healing can be counted on, because it is inspired by His Voice and is
Tx:7.46  it is inspired by His Voice and is in accord with His laws. Yet if  healing is consistence, it cannot be inconsistently understood.
Tx:7.47  His teaching is limited, because he is learning so little. His  healing lesson is limited by his own ingratitude, which is a lesson
Tx:8.30  factor in rehabilitation. Without this you are deciding against  healing, and your veto of my will for you makes healing impossible.

Tx:8.89  only way of healing. This is because it is the only level at which  healing means anything. The re-establishing of meaning in a chaotic
Tx:8.89  is essential to His because your meaning is part of His. Your  healing, then, is part of His health since it is part of His

Tx:8.108  specific forms of healing are not achieved, even though the state of  healing is. It frequently happens that an individual asks for
Tx:8.108  is. It frequently happens that an individual asks for physical  healing because he is fearful of bodily harm. At the same time,

Tx:9.8  His function, or you will forget yours. Accept only the function of  healing in time, because that is what time is for. God gave you the
Tx:9.21  for truth and therefore does not have the answer to the problem of  healing. There is an advantage to bringing nightmares into awareness,
Tx:9.23  by depreciating the importance of the dreamer. This would be a  healing approach if the dreamer were properly identified as unreal.
Tx:9.26  Healing is not mysterious. Nothing will occur unless you understand
Tx:9.28 The therapist does not heal; he lets  healing be. He can point to darkness, but he cannot bring light of

Tx:9.36  in eternity because they are reparative. Yet while you still need  healing, your miracles are the only witnesses to your reality which
Tx:9.76 Your minds are not separate, and God has only one channel for  healing, because He has but one Son. His remaining communication link
Tx:9.100 Do not look to the god of sickness for  healing but only to the God of love, for healing is the

Tx:10.5 You have learned your need of  healing. Would you bring anything else to the Sonship, recognizing
Tx:10.5  you bring anything else to the Sonship, recognizing your need of  healing for yourself? For in this lies the beginning of knowledge,
Tx:10.15  that His Son be one, and united with Him in His Oneness. That is why  healing is the beginning of the recognition that your will is His.
Tx:10.16  you truly want. Every attack is a step away from this, and every  healing thought brings it closer. The Son of God has both Father and
Tx:10.17  Healing thus becomes a lesson in understanding, and the more you
Tx:10.17  yourself among them, for in your willingness to join them is your  healing accomplished. Every miracle which you accomplish speaks to
Tx:10.17  which you accomplish speaks to you of the Fatherhood of God. Every  healing thought which you accept, either from your brother or in your
Tx:10.18  to understand. You can heal only yourself, for only God's Son needs  healing. He needs it because he does not understand himself and
Tx:10.19  Healing is a sign that he wants to make whole. And this willingness

Tx:10.86  himself, for his split mind is yours, and you will not accept your  healing without his. For you share the real world as you share
Tx:10.86  his. For you share the real world as you share Heaven, and his  healing is yours. To love yourself is to heal yourself, and you

Tx:11.3  part. Every loving thought is true. Everything else is an appeal for  healing and help. That is what it is, regardless of the form it
Tx:11.4  “battles” with reality in which you deny the reality of the need for  healing by making it unreal. You would not do this except for your
Tx:11.15  remembered alone. This is what you have forgotten. To perceive the  healing of your brother as the healing of yourself is thus the way to
Tx:11.15  you have forgotten. To perceive the healing of your brother as the  healing of yourself is thus the way to remember God. For you forgot
Tx:11.16  brother as yourself. Answer his call for love and yours is answered.  Healing is the love of Christ for His Father and for Himself.
Tx:11.64  As your function in Heaven is creation, so your function on earth is  healing. God shares His function with you in Heaven, and the Holy
Tx:12.16  in this mind is so apparent when it is uncovered that its need of  healing cannot be denied. Not all the tricks and games you offer it
Tx:12.17 And yet he is not crucified. Here is both his pain and his  healing, for the Holy Spirit's vision is merciful, and His remedy is
Tx:12.19  Holy Spirit is not welcome. And you will exempt yourself from His  healing power, for by not offering total love, you will not be healed
Tx:12.19  for by not offering total love, you will not be healed completely.  Healing must be as complete as fear, for love cannot enter where
Tx:12.23  is about you. You have been told that your function in this world is  healing, and your function in Heaven is creating. The ego teaches
Tx:12.32  interpret yours. If you accept your function in the world of time as  healing, you will emphasize only the aspect of time in which healing
Tx:12.32  time as healing, you will emphasize only the aspect of time in which  healing can occur. For healing cannot be accomplished in the past and
Tx:12.32  emphasize only the aspect of time in which healing can occur. For  healing cannot be accomplished in the past and must be accomplished
Tx:12.50  the present, for it holds the only things that are forever true. All  healing lies within it because its continuity is real. It extends to
Tx:12.53  witnesses to His creation. Those whom you heal bear witness to your  healing, for in their wholeness you will see your own. And as your
Tx:12.76  sorrow from the Mind of God's most holy Son, where it cannot abide.  Healing in time is needed, for joy cannot establish its eternal reign
Tx:13.5  thus brings you nearer to the end of time by bringing healed and  healing sight into the darkness and enabling the world to see. For

Tx:13.69  that comes from choosing to be free of guilt. Everyone you offer  healing to returns it. Everyone you attack keeps it and cherishes it
Tx:14.9  the guiltlessness which must have been denied to produce need of  healing. Do not withhold this glad acknowledgment, for hope of

Tx:15.103  you. Let yourself be healed completely that you may join with Him in  healing, and let us celebrate our release together by releasing
Tx:16.1  the ego to another ego. He does not join in pain, knowing that  healing pain is not accomplished by delusional attempts to enter into
Tx:16.3  to hurt it nor to heal it in your own way. You do not know what  healing is. All you have learned of empathy is from the past. And
Tx:16.3  the past real and so perpetuate it. Step gently aside and let the  healing be done for you. Keep but one thought in mind and do not lose
Tx:16.7  which hovers over it and blesses it silently by enveloping it in  healing wings. Let this be, and do not try to substitute your
Tx:17.42  alike on all relationships, for in it they are one. For here is only  healing, already complete and perfect. For here is God, and where He

Tx:19.3 The body cannot heal because it cannot make itself sick. It needs no  healing. Its health or sickness depends entirely on how the mind
Tx:19.4  the body will seem to be sick, for you have made of it an “enemy” of  healing and the opposite of truth.
Tx:19.7 Here then is  healing needed. And it is here that healing is. For God gave healing
Tx:19.7 Here then is healing needed. And it is here that  healing is. For God gave healing not apart from sickness, nor

Tx:19.33 If sin were real, it would forever be beyond the hope of  healing. For there would be a power beyond God's, capable of making
Tx:19.36  upon each other as yourself. Your relationship is now a temple of  healing—a place where all the weary ones can come and find rest.
Tx:19.37  and freedom to everyone who draws nigh unto your temple, where  healing waits for him.

Tx:21.64 If you choose sin instead of  healing, you would condemn the Son of God to what can never be
Tx:21.77  or helplessness, is the choice of whether to attack or heal. For  healing comes of power and attack of helplessness. Whom you attack
Tx:22.54  Neither of you alone can serve at all. Only in your joint will does  healing lie. For here your healing is and here will you accept
Tx:22.54  at all. Only in your joint will does healing lie. For here your  healing is and here will you accept Atonement. And in your healing is
Tx:22.54  here your healing is and here will you accept Atonement. And in your  healing is the Sonship healed because your wills are joined.

Tx:24.52 Forget not that the  healing of God's Son is all the world is for. That is the only
Tx:24.52  Spirit sees in it and thus the only one it has. Until you see the  healing of the Son as all you wish to be accomplished by the world,
Tx:25.3 The body needs no  healing. But the mind that thinks it is a body is sick indeed! And it
Tx:25.83  one deserves to lose. And what would be unjust to him cannot occur.  Healing must be for everyone because he does not merit an attack of
Tx:25.83  from others as less worthy, more condemned, and thus apart from  healing. Who is there who can be separate from salvation if its
Tx:25.83  if some errors are unforgivable and warrant vengeance in place of  healing and return of peace?
Tx:25.84  bears no witness to. And everyone is equally entitled to His gift of  healing and deliverance and peace. To give a problem to the Holy
Tx:26.14  which has no resolution, you have made it great and past the hope of  healing. You deny the miracle of justice can be fair.
Tx:26.47 This is a course in miracles. And as such, the laws of  healing must be understood before the purpose of the course can be
Tx:26.47  and arrange them in a way that summarizes all that must occur for  healing to be possible. For when it once is possible, it must occur.
Tx:26.51  some are given greater value and less willingly offered to truth for  healing and for help. No illusion has any truth in it. Yet it appears
Tx:26.52  that it is real has made some errors seem forever past the hope of  healing and the lasting grounds for hell. If this were so, would
Tx:26.61  cause and consequence are brought together, not kept separate. The  healing of effect without the cause can merely shift effects to other
Tx:26.62  justify a miracle, whatever form they took. In every miracle all  healing lies, for God gave answer to them all as one. And what is one
Tx:26.64 In crucifixion is redemption laid, for  healing is not needed where there is no pain or suffering.
Tx:26.72  And in overlooking this, is it protected and kept separate from  healing. For a miracle is now. It stands already here in present
Tx:27.6  sting of fear. Attest his innocence and not his guilt. Your  healing is his comfort and his health because it proves illusions are
Tx:27.11  is Heaven free to be remembered. Here its peace can come and perfect  healing take the place of death. The body can become a sign of life,
Tx:27.11  grown sick of breathing in the fetid scent of death. Let it have  healing as its purpose. Then will it send forth the message it
Tx:27.13 Is  healing frightening? To many, yes. For accusation is a bar to love,
Tx:27.15  be for one and not the other. Who forgives is healed. And in his  healing lies the proof that he has truly pardoned and retains no
Tx:27.16 Forgiveness is not real unless it brings a  healing to your brother and yourself. You must attest his sins had no
Tx:27.16  A broken body shows the mind has not been healed. A miracle of  healing proves that separation is without effect. What you would
Tx:27.17  to teach that it has never suffered pain because of him. And in its  healing can it offer him mute testimony of his innocence. It is this
Tx:27.17  offer nothing less to him than it has given unto you. So does your  healing show your mind is healed and has forgiven what he did not do.
Tx:27.18  and so he stands condemned. Yet it is given you to show him by your  healing that his guilt is but the fabric of a senseless dream.
Tx:27.19  of full deliverance from guilt upon your brother and yourself. Your  healing saves him pain as well as you, and you are healed because you
Tx:27.19  because you wished him well. This is the law the miracle obeys; that  healing sees no specialness at all. It does not come from pity but
Tx:27.20  that your salvation sacrifices his. The Holy Spirit knows your  healing is the witness unto his and cannot be apart from his at all.
Tx:27.20  his suffering is purposeless and wholly without cause. Show him your  healing, and he will consent no more to suffer. For his innocence has
Tx:27.21 Who then fears  healing? Only those to whom their brother's sacrifice and pain are
Tx:27.21  to reason with an argument for sickness such as this? And need your  healing be delayed because you pause to listen to insanity?
Tx:27.27  being made aware of any function other than Its own. And thus is  healing given both of you.
Tx:27.44  help, but you are needed that it can begin. Accept the miracle of  healing, and it will go forth because of what it is. It is its nature
Tx:27.45  Your single purpose makes this possible. But if you are afraid of  healing, then it cannot come through you. The only thing that is
Tx:27.45  it cannot come through you. The only thing that is required for a  healing is a lack of fear. The fearful are not healed and cannot
Tx:27.45  gone forever from your mind. For if it were, there'd be no need for  healing then. But it does mean, if only for an instant, you love
Tx:27.46  that one instant are you healed, and in that single instant is all  healing done.
Tx:27.48  sight to see beyond all suffering and see Christ's face instead.  Healing replaces suffering. Who looks on one cannot perceive the
Tx:27.49 Thus is your  healing everything the world requires that it may be healed. It needs
Tx:27.50  And thus while he perceives it, he can not perceive it as it is. But  healing is apparent in specific instances and generalizes to include
Tx:27.51 Your  healing will extend and will be brought to problems that you thought
Tx:27.51  from situations to their opposites and bring the same results. All  healing must proceed in lawful manner in accord with laws which have
Tx:27.53 Peace be to you to whom is  healing offered. And you will learn that peace is given you when you
Tx:27.53  And you will learn that peace is given you when you accept the  healing for yourself. Its total value need not be appraised by you to
Tx:27.53  love entered in without attack will stay with you forever. Your  healing will be one of its effects, as will your brother's.
Tx:27.53  by merely counting up its separate parts. God thanks you for your  healing, for He knows it is a gift of love unto His Son, and
Tx:27.59  and the throes of death itself are but a single sound—a call for  healing and a plaintive cry for help within a world of misery. It is
Tx:27.61 The resurrection of the world awaits your  healing and your happiness, that you may demonstrate the healing of
Tx:27.61  awaits your healing and your happiness, that you may demonstrate the  healing of the world. The holy instant will replace all sin if you
Tx:28.3 Nothing employed for  healing represents an effort to do anything at all. It is a
Tx:28.3  to interfere with truth. All things the Holy Spirit can employ for  healing have been given Him, without the content and the purposes for
Tx:28.10  more have you. And so your innocence has not been lost. You need no  healing to be healed. In quietness, see in the miracle a lesson in
Tx:28.17  by its effects, which are as limitless as is itself. Yet must all  healing come about because the mind is recognized as not within the
Tx:28.17  the body, and its innocence is quite apart from it and where all  healing is. Where then is healing? Only where its cause is given its
Tx:28.17  is quite apart from it and where all healing is. Where then is  healing? Only where its cause is given its effects. For sickness is a
Tx:28.18  Love's effect and must be cause because of what he is. The cause of  healing is the only Cause of everything. It has but one effect. And
Tx:28.19  depending on the purpose of your dreaming. Do you wish for dreams of  healing or for dreams of death? A dream is like a memory in that it
Tx:28.29  brother's mind prevents the cause of sickness and perceived effects.  Healing is the effect of minds which join, as sickness comes from
Tx:28.35  there. And sickness will be seen without a cause. The dream of  healing in forgiveness lies and gently shows you that you never
Tx:28.46  all the Healer of God's Son requires. He will place the miracle of  healing where the seeds of sickness were. And there will be no loss,
Tx:28.58  not his tiny oath to be forever faithful unto death. And by his  healing is his brother healed.
Tx:28.61  your wholeness and your health, the Source of help, the Call to  healing, and the Call to heal? Your savior waits for healing, and the
Tx:28.61  the Call to healing, and the Call to heal? Your savior waits for  healing, and the world waits with him. Nor are you apart from it. For
Tx:28.61  and the world waits with him. Nor are you apart from it. For  healing will be one or not at all, its oneness being where the
Tx:28.61  For healing will be one or not at all, its oneness being where the  healing lies. What could correct for separation but its opposite?
Tx:28.63  Nor is it idly blamed for what it did not do. It serves to help the  healing of God's Son, and for this purpose it cannot be sick. It will
Tx:30.76  which appearances are true. If one appearance must remain apart from  healing, one illusion must be part of truth. And you could not escape
Tx:30.92  heal all dreams. There is no miracle you cannot have when you desire  healing. But there is no miracle that can be given you unless you
W1:70.4  His. He wants you to be healed, and so He has kept the Source of  healing where the need for healing lies. You have tried to do just
W1:70.4  healed, and so He has kept the Source of healing where the need for  healing lies. You have tried to do just the opposite, making every
W1:70.4  attempt, however distorted and fantastic it might be, to separate  healing from the sickness for which it was intended and thus keep the

W1:97.6  everywhere He knows they will be welcome. And they will increase in  healing power each time someone accepts them as his thoughts and uses
W1:107.6  of pain but looks beyond it, steadily and sure. Here is the gift of  healing, for the truth needs no defense, and therefore no attack is
W1:109.6  that has passed away. Let it be still and thankfully accept its  healing. No more fearful dreams will come now that you rest in God.
W1:110.5 The  healing power of today's idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of

W1:135.11 These are the thoughts in need of  healing, and the body will respond with health when they have been

W1:136.1  intent of any kind, it cannot be at all. When this is seen,  healing is automatic. It dispels this meaningless illusion by the
W1:136.16  for just this invitation which we give today. We introduce it with a  healing prayer to help us rise above defensiveness and let truth be
W1:136.18  Healing will flash across your open mind as peace and truth arise to
W1:137.1  idea remains the central thought on which salvation rests. For  healing is the opposite of all the world's ideas which dwell on

W1:137.3  to be dismembered and without the unity that gives it life. But  healing is accomplished as he sees the body has no power to attack
W1:137.4 Sickness would prove that lies must be the truth. But  healing demonstrates that truth is true. The separation sickness
W1:137.4  to illusions must be shown that what they look upon is false. So  healing, never needed by the truth, must demonstrate that sickness is
W1:137.5  Healing might thus be called a counter-dream which cancels out the
W1:137.5  Just as forgiveness overlooks all sins that never were accomplished,  healing but removes illusions that have not occurred. Just as the
W1:137.5  world will arise to take the place of what has never been at all,  healing but offers restitution for imagined states and false ideas
W1:137.6 Yet think not  healing is unworthy of your function here. For anti-Christ becomes
W1:137.7  sin and the real world will occupy the place of what you made, so  healing must replace the fantasies of sickness which you hold before
W1:137.8  Healing is freedom. For it demonstrates that dreams will not prevail
W1:137.8  For it demonstrates that dreams will not prevail against the truth.  Healing is shared. And by this attribute, it proves that laws unlike
W1:137.8  sickness is inevitable are more potent than their sickly opposites.  Healing is strength. For by its gentle hand is weakness overcome. And

W1:137.11 Those who are healed become the instruments of  healing. Nor does time elapse between the instant they are healed and
W1:137.11  time elapse between the instant they are healed and all the grace of  healing it is given them to give. What is opposed to God does not
W1:137.12  Today we ask that only truth will occupy our minds, that thoughts of  healing will this day go forth from what is healed to what must yet
W1:137.13  our function is to let our minds be healed that we may carry  healing to the world, exchanging curse for blessing, pain for joy,
W1:137.15 When I am healed, I am not healed alone. And I would share my  healing with the world, that sickness may be banished from the mind
W1:137.16 Let  healing be through you this very day. And as you rest in quiet, be
W1:140.1  from the body, where it thinks the mind exists. Its forms of  healing thus must substitute illusion for illusion. One belief in
W1:140.6  does it seek to heal what is not sick, unmindful where the need for  healing is. This is no magic. It is merely an appeal to truth which
W1:140.7 Let us not try today to seek to cure what cannot suffer sickness.  Healing must be sought but where it is and then applied to what is
W1:140.8  another shift among them. We will try today to find the source of  healing, which is in our minds because our Father placed it there for
W1:140.9  us as sick. We go beyond appearances today and reach the source of  healing from which nothing is exempt. We will succeed to the extent
W1:140.10  form they took. We will be still and listen for the Voice of  healing which will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the
W1:140.14  it is real. This will we learn today. And we will say our prayer for  healing hourly and take a minute as the hour strikes to hear the
W1:140.14  be given us as we attend in silence and in joy. This is the day when  healing comes to us. This is the day when separation ends and we
W1:151.14  eternal Love. And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on  healing power from the Mind Which saw the truth in it and failed to
W1:159.2 You understand that you are healed when you give  healing. You accept forgiveness as accomplished in yourself when you
W1:164.6  looks back on them in a new light. And what you see becomes the  healing and salvation of the world. The valuable and valueless are
W1:165.3 Who would deny his safety and his peace, his joy, his  healing and his peace of mind, his quiet rest, his calm awakening if
W1:166.14  Your tears are theirs. If you are sick, you but withhold their  healing. What you fear but teaches them their fears are justified.
W1:167.3  about yourself. It is the reason you can heal. It is the cause of  healing. It is why you cannot die. Its truth established you as one
W1:193.15  about all things we saved to settle by ourselves and kept apart from  healing. Let us give them all to Him Who knows the way to look upon
W1:196.1  yourself. And you will understand his safety is your own, and in his  healing you are healed.
W2:WS.2  and merely was. But when the mind is split, there is a need of  healing. So the thought which has the power to heal the split became
W2:270.2  everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His sight, we offer  healing to the world through Him, the holy Son whom God created
W2:275.1  apart. It is in this that all things are protected. And in this the  healing of the Voice of God is found.
W2:275.2 Your  healing Voice protects all things today, and so I leave all things to
W2:323.1  doubt and freely let Your Love come streaming in to his awareness,  healing him of pain and giving him Your own eternal joy. Such is the
W2:WIM.5 Miracles fall like drops of  healing rain from Heaven on a dry and dusty world, where starved and

W1:106.6  Hear Him today, and offer Him your voice to speak to all the
W1:106.6  and offer Him your voice to speak to all the multitudes who wait to  hear the Word that He will speak today. Be ready for salvation. It is
W1:106.7 Listen today, and you will  hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the world through you. The
W1:106.11  listening, a thousand minds are opened to the truth. And they will  hear the holy Word you hear. And when the hour is past, you will
W1:106.11  minds are opened to the truth. And they will hear the holy Word you  hear. And when the hour is past, you will again release a thousand
W1:106.12  learning it of Him. Do not forget today to reinforce your choice to  hear and to receive the Word by this reminder, given to yourself as
W1:109.4  on you. You call to all to join you in your rest, and they will  hear and come to you because you rest in God. They will not hear
W1:109.4  will hear and come to you because you rest in God. They will not  hear another voice but yours because you gave your voice to God and
W1:109.8  and tired minds, too weary now to go their way alone. And they will  hear the bird begin to sing and see the stream begin to flow again,
W1:118.3  listen to the truth. Let mine own feeble voice be still, and let me  hear the mighty Voice of truth itself assure me that I am God's
W1:122.4  questions, meaningless requests, half-hearted willingness to  hear, and less than halfway diligence and partial trust.
W1:125.1  be a day of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father wills you  hear His Word today. He calls to you from deep within your mind where
W1:125.1  today. He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides.  Hear Him today. No peace is possible until His Word is heard around
W1:125.1  mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message which the world must  hear to usher in the quiet time of peace.
W1:125.3 In stillness we will  hear God's Voice today without intrusion of our petty thoughts,
W1:125.4  Hear, holy Son of God, your Father speak. His Voice would give to you
W1:125.6  to be called upon today to help make ready your most holy mind to  hear the Voice of its Creator speak.
W1:125.9  your vision from the body's eyes. Only be still and listen. You will  hear the Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in His Father's
W1:126.10  what it really means. Be willing to be taught. Be glad to  hear the Voice of truth and healing speak to you, and you will
W1:126.13  opening your mind to His correction and His Love. And what you  hear of Him you will believe, for what He gives will be received by
W1:127.5  death. Yet it is perfectly apparent to eyes that see and ears that  hear its Voice.
W1:140.10  saneness to the Son of God. No voice but this can cure. Today we  hear a single Voice which speaks to us of truth where all illusions
W1:140.11  no need to make them different and thus delay the time when we can  hear our Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We come to Him today.
W1:140.11  and thus delay the time when we can hear our Father speak to us. We  hear Him now. We come to Him today.
W1:140.14  prayer for healing hourly and take a minute as the hour strikes to  hear the answer to our prayer be given us as we attend in silence and
W1:151.6  Hear not its voice. The witnesses it sends to prove to you its evil
W1:151.9  the glory of the Father and the Son? What whispers of the ego can He  hear? What could convince Him that your sins are real?
W1:151.12  with Him. So will you see the holy face of Christ in everything and  hear in everything no sound except the echo of God's Voice.
W1:151.15  the holy lesson of his sanctity. No one can fail to listen when you  hear the Voice for God give honor to God's Son. And everyone will
W1:153.18 In time, with practice, you will never cease to think of Him and  hear His loving Voice guiding your footsteps into quiet ways where
W1:154.3 It is through His ability to  hear One Voice Which is His own that you become aware at last there
W1:154.10  minds apart from Him Who speaks for us, for it is but our voice we  hear as we attend Him. He alone can speak to us and for us, joining
W1:155.6  them. Yet it has stepped back, and it is not illusion that they  hear you speak of nor illusion which you bring their eyes to look on
W1:160.8  His Son forever. He has answered you who ask, “Who is the stranger?”  Hear His Voice assure you, quietly and sure, that you are not a
W1:161.2  to see. All hearing but brings to your mind the sounds it wants to  hear.
W1:161.15 And He will answer Whom you called upon, for He will  hear the Voice of God in you and answer in your own. Behold him now
W1:162.2  world. The dead awake in answer to its call. And those who live and  hear this sound will never look on death.
W1:169.3  aspires to attain. Yet we prepare for grace in that an open mind can  hear the call to waken. It is not shut tight against God's Voice. It
W1:R5.11  be then your gift to me. For this alone I need—that you will  hear the words I speak and give them to the world. You are my voice,
W1:182.7  alien thoughts. His patience has no limits. He will wait until you  hear His gentle Voice within you, calling you to let Him go in peace
W1:182.8  ideas cease to have value in your restless mind, then will you  hear His Voice. So poignantly He calls to you that you will not
W1:182.12  this you yearn. This is your heart's desire. This is the Voice you  hear, and this the Call which cannot be denied. The holy Child
W1:183.3  healed of their sickly thoughts. The blind can see; the deaf can  hear; the sorrowful cast off their mourning, and the tears of pain
W1:183.7  Hear nothing else. Let all your thoughts become anchored on this. No
W1:183.8  idols cherished by the world. They cannot reach Him thus. He cannot  hear requests that He be not Himself or that His Son receive another
W1:186.5  which might affront their stance. Yet are the humble free to  hear the Voice which tells them what they are and what to do.
W1:186.12  inconsistent and unsure of everything? Let not its voice direct you.  Hear instead a certain Voice Which tells you of a function given you
W1:191.11  and devastated dreams, born but to die, to weep, and suffer pain,  hear this: all power is given you in earth and Heaven. There is
W1:195.7  in our memory and gathers clarity as we are willing once again to  hear.
W1:198.5  His gift with gratitude? And is it not a kindness to yourself to  hear His Voice and learn the simple lessons He would teach, instead
W1:198.6  born in God, and come to you with Heaven's love upon them. Those who  hear His words have heard the song of Heaven, for these are the words
W1:199.9 I am not a body. I am free. I  hear the Voice that God has given me, and it is only this my mind
W1:200.9  let him stray forever from his home. The Father calls; the Son will  hear. And that is all there is to what appears to be a world apart
W2:221.1  and listen for Your Voice. My Father, speak to me today. I come to  hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will
W2:221.1  hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will  hear my call and answer me.
W2:221.2  we wait together. I am sure that He will speak to you, and you will  hear. Accept my confidence, for it is yours. Our minds are joined. We
W2:221.2  for it is yours. Our minds are joined. We wait with one intent—to  hear our Father's answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still
W2:221.2  to our call, to let our thoughts be still and find His peace, to  hear Him speak to us of what we are, and to reveal Himself unto His
W2:226.2 Father, my home awaits my glad return. Your arms are open, and I  hear Your Voice. What need have I to linger in a place of vain
W2:232.1  that You have remained with me and always will be there to  hear my call to You and answer me. As evening comes, let all my
W2:237.1  the day. I bring the world the tidings of salvation that I  hear as God my Father speaks to me. And I behold the world that
W2:WIW.2  could not cause such insane thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears  hear falsely. Now mistakes become quite possible, for certainty has
W2:WIW.4  to the world. Follow His light and see the world as He beholds it.  Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him give you
W2:245.2  world we give the message that we have received. And thus we come to  hear the Voice of God, Who speaks to us as we relate His Word, Whose
W2:WIS.1  What need have they of sights or sounds or touch? What would they  hear or reach to grasp? What would they sense at all? To sense is not
W2:254.1 Father, today I would but  hear Your Voice. In deepest silence, I would come to You to hear Your
W2:254.1  but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence, I would come to You to  hear Your Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no prayer but this:
W2:256.2  we come to You in Your appointed way. We have no goal except to  hear Your Voice and find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to
W2:264.1  everywhere I go. You are in all the things I look upon, the sounds I  hear, and every hand that reaches for my own. In You time disappears
W2:271.1  I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to  hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. Today I
W2:272.2 Today we pass illusions by. And if we  hear temptation call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn
W2:275.1  day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time when we will seek and  hear and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the Voice of
W2:290.2  me up today while I but seek to do Your Will. You cannot fail to  hear me, Father. What I ask have You already given me, and I am sure
W2:296.1  my voice today, that all the world may listen to Your Voice and  hear Your Word through me. I am resolved to let You speak through me,
W2:296.1  For having damned it, I would set it free that I may find escape and  hear the Word Your holy Voice will speak to me today.

W2:WILJ.1 Christ's Second Coming gives the Son of God the gift to  hear the Voice for God proclaim that what is false is false and what
W2:311.2 Father, we wait with open mind today to  hear Your Judgment of the Son You love. We do not know him, and we
W2:WICR.5 Our Father calls to us. We  hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in the name of its Creator,
W2:327.1  on the basis of an unsupported faith. For God has promised He will  hear my call and answer me Himself. Let me but learn from my
W2:334.1  again today. God's Voice is offering the peace of God to all who  hear and choose to follow Him. This is my choice today. And so I go
W2:339.2  is Your day. It is a day in which I would do nothing by myself but  hear Your Voice in everything I do; requesting only what You offer
W2:340.1  today Your Son will be redeemed. His suffering is done. For he will  hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ's vision through
W2:347.2 Listen today. Be very still and  hear the gentle Voice for God assuring you that He has judged you as
W2:WAI.4  a world redeemed from every thought of sin. Ours are the ears that  hear the Voice of God proclaim the world as sinless. Ours the minds
W2:352.1  both the memory of You and One Who leads me to it. Father, I would  hear Your Voice and find Your peace today. For I would love my own
W2:357.1  in my brother, then in me. Your Voice instructs me patiently to  hear Your Word and give as I receive. And as I look upon Your Son
W2:357.1  Word and give as I receive. And as I look upon Your Son today, I  hear Your Voice instructing me to find the way to You as You
W2:361.1  I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will  hear and answer me because He speaks for God, my Father, and His holy

W1:125.1  He abides. Hear Him today. No peace is possible until His Word is  heard around the world; until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts
W1:125.6  speaks to you. His Voice awaits your silence, for His Word cannot be  heard until your mind is quiet for a while and meaningless desires
W1:152.3  that the truth is true and nothing else is true. This you have  heard before, but may not yet accept both parts of it. Without the

Tx:28.56  uses you have made of it. You shrink from what it sees and what it  hears and hate its frailty and littleness. And you despise its acts
Tx:28.56  you despise its acts but not your own. It sees and acts for you. It  hears your voice. And it is frail and little by your wish. It seems

Tx:12.23  on earth is destruction and that you have no function at all in  Heaven. It would thus destroy you here and bury you here, leaving you

Tx:13.37  know its value. In Heaven is everything God valued and nothing else.  Heaven is perfectly unambiguous. Everything is clear and bright and
Tx:13.40 You will not remember change and shift in  Heaven. You have need of contrast only here. Contrast and differences
Tx:13.41  only this one thing, and it will be sufficient: God wills you be in  Heaven, and nothing can keep you from it or it from you. Your wildest
Tx:13.43 God willed you  Heaven and will always will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows
Tx:13.43  The Holy Spirit knows only of His Will. There is no chance that  Heaven will not be yours, for God is sure, and what He wills is as
Tx:13.44  remain unchanged throughout eternity. You do not have to know that  Heaven is yours to make it so. It is so. Yet the Will of God must be

Tx:15.14  who share it with you. As long as it takes to exchange hell for  Heaven. Long enough to transcend all of the ego's making and ascend
Tx:15.17  you stand before God's altar, where He gently translates hell into  Heaven. For it is only in Heaven that God would have you be.

Tx:15.34  Hear not his call for hell and littleness, but only his call for  Heaven and greatness. Forget not that his call is yours, and answer
Tx:15.34  His holy altar, which rises above the stars and reaches even to  Heaven because of what is given it.

Tx:15.89  and long remain willing to linger here. For it is your will to be in  Heaven, where you are complete and quiet in such sure and loving

Tx:16.45  all seem to be the unnatural ones. For this world is the opposite of  Heaven, being made to be its opposite, and everything here takes a
Tx:16.45  here takes a direction exactly opposite of what is true. In  Heaven, where the meaning of love is known, love is the same as
Tx:16.46  of the ego that you believe this specialness is not hell, but  Heaven. For the ego would never have you see that separation can only
Tx:16.46  that separation can only be loss, being the one condition in which  Heaven cannot be.
Tx:16.47 To everyone  Heaven is completion. There can be no disagreement on this, because
Tx:16.47  for nothing would remain to interfere with it. This is its idea of  Heaven. From this it follows that union, which is a condition in
Tx:16.48  is a strange and unnatural ego device for joining hell and  Heaven and making them indistinguishable. And the attempt to find the
Tx:16.50  see this special self in each other, the ego sees “a union made in  Heaven.” For neither one will recognize that he has asked for hell,

Tx:17.37 The holy instant is a miniature of Heaven, sent you from  Heaven. It is a picture, too, set in a frame. Yet if you accept this

Tx:18.11  Heaven is restored to all the Sonship through your relationship, for
Tx:18.11  for in it lies the Sonship, whole and beautiful, safe in your love.  Heaven has entered quietly, for all illusions have been gently

Tx:18.11  was created.] The universe within you stands with you, together. And  Heaven looks with love on what is joined in it, along with its

Tx:18.23  the same wishes in your mind, so do the real world and the truth of  Heaven join in the Will of God. The dream of waking is easily
Tx:18.27  accepted God. The holiness of your relationship is established in  Heaven. You do not understand what you accepted, but remember that
Tx:18.29 In your relationship, you have joined with me in bringing  Heaven to the Son of God, who hid in darkness. You have been willing
Tx:18.31 Not one light in  Heaven but goes with you. Not one ray that shines forever in the Mind
Tx:18.31  one ray that shines forever in the Mind of God but shines on you.  Heaven is joined with you in your advance to Heaven. When such great

Tx:18.42  of faith and rising even to Heaven. Nor will you use it to ascend to  Heaven alone.
Tx:18.43  every holy instant which you do not arrange, thousands will rise to  Heaven with you. Can you plan for this? Or could you prepare
Tx:18.49  learn, for it is [in that] realization that the Kingdom of  Heaven is restored to you. For God created only this, and He did not
Tx:18.49  depart from it nor leave it separate from Himself. The Kingdom of  Heaven is the dwelling-place of the Son of God, who left not his
Tx:18.49  Son of God, who left not his Father and dwells not apart from Him.  Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely an awareness of
Tx:18.50  else, something outside yourself, has cost you the awareness of  Heaven and the loss of your Identity. And you have done a stranger
Tx:18.58 You can stretch out your hand and reach to  Heaven. You whose hands are joined have begun to reach beyond the

Tx:18.79  a desert was. And everyone you welcome will bring love with him from  Heaven for you. They enter one by one into this holy place, but they
Tx:18.80  and see your little garden gently transformed into the Kingdom of  Heaven with all the love of its Creator shining upon it. The holy
Tx:18.81  shining Self will lift the tiny aspect which you tried to hide from  Heaven straight into Heaven. No part of love calls on the whole in
Tx:18.81  the tiny aspect which you tried to hide from Heaven straight into  Heaven. No part of love calls on the whole in vain. No Son of God
Tx:18.85 This is the little part of you, you think you stole from  Heaven. Give it back to Heaven. Heaven has not lost it, but you have
Tx:18.85  little part of you, you think you stole from Heaven. Give it back to  Heaven. Heaven has not lost it, but you have lost sight of Heaven.
Tx:18.85  of you, you think you stole from Heaven. Give it back to Heaven.  Heaven has not lost it, but you have lost sight of Heaven. Let the
Tx:18.85  back to Heaven. Heaven has not lost it, but you have lost sight of  Heaven. Let the Holy Spirit remove it from the withered kingdom in
Tx:18.97  lifted high above the darkness and gently placed before the gates of  Heaven. The holy instant in which you were united is but the
Tx:19.24  choice. Approach it not lightly, for it is the choice of hell or  Heaven.
Tx:19.33  has as its purpose now the goal of proving this is impossible.  Heaven has smiled upon it, and the belief in sin has been uprooted in
Tx:19.35 In the holy instant, you will see the smile of  heaven shining on both of you. And you will shine upon each other in
Tx:19.35  that has been given you. For sin will not prevail against a union  Heaven has smiled upon. Your perception was healed in the holy
Tx:19.35  has smiled upon. Your perception was healed in the holy instant  Heaven gave you. Forget what you have seen and raise your eyes in
Tx:19.35  raise your eyes in faith to what you now can see. The barriers to  heaven will disappear before your holy sight, for you who were
Tx:19.42  universe and its Creator. This little wall would hide the purpose of  Heaven and keep it from Heaven.
Tx:19.42  This little wall would hide the purpose of Heaven and keep it from  Heaven.
Tx:19.45 There is a hush in  Heaven, a happy expectancy, a little pause of gladness in
Tx:19.45  little pause of gladness in acknowledgment of the journey's end. For  Heaven knows you well, as you know Heaven. No illusions stand between
Tx:19.45  of the journey's end. For Heaven knows you well, as you know  Heaven. No illusions stand between you now. Look not upon the little
Tx:19.64  nothing you have paid for brought you peace. Are you not glad that  Heaven cannot be sacrificed, and sacrifice cannot be asked of you?
Tx:19.66  from what is offered you in gratitude for giving peace its home in  Heaven. Send forth to all the world the joyous message of the end of
Tx:19.80  of the insane, dedicated to madness and set against the peace of  Heaven? One thing is sure—God, Who created neither sin nor death,
Tx:19.101  need forgiveness of each other, for you will share in madness or in  Heaven together. And you will raise your eyes in faith together or
Tx:19.104 There is no grace of  Heaven that you cannot offer to each other and receive from your most
Tx:19.108  quiet that you seek, the reason for the journey from its beginning.  Heaven is the gift you owe each other, the debt of gratitude you
Tx:19.109  he gives and what is given him. Nor is it given anything in hell or  Heaven to interfere with his decision.
Tx:20.12  our vision will be no illusions—only a pathway to the open door of  Heaven, the home we share in quietness, and where we live in
Tx:20.14 This is the way to  Heaven and to the peace of Easter, in which we join in glad awareness
Tx:20.15  way of innocence together, singing as you behold the open door of  Heaven, and recognize the home that called to you. Give joyously to
Tx:20.26  Here there is only holiness and joining without limit. For what is  Heaven but union, direct and perfect, and without the veil of fear
Tx:20.29 Sin has no place in  Heaven, where its results are alien and can no more enter than can
Tx:20.29  And therein lies your need to see your brother sinless. In him is  Heaven. See sin in him instead, and Heaven is lost to you. But see
Tx:20.29  your brother sinless. In him is Heaven. See sin in him instead, and  Heaven is lost to you. But see him as he is, and what is yours shines

Tx:21.32  the state of certainty is reached. In Heaven they are unknown. Yet  Heaven is reached through them.
Tx:21.37  that He has given you is more than anything that stands this side of  Heaven. The instant for its recognition is at hand. Join your

Tx:21.47  to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now it sees that  Heaven has come to earth at last, from which the ego's rule has kept
Tx:21.47  to earth at last, from which the ego's rule has kept it out so long.  Heaven has come because it found a home in your relationship on
Tx:21.47  on earth. And earth can hold no longer what has been given  Heaven as its own.
Tx:21.66 That you are joined is your salvation—the gift of  Heaven, not the gift of fear. Does Heaven seem to be a burden to you?
Tx:21.66  is your salvation—the gift of Heaven, not the gift of fear. Does  Heaven seem to be a burden to you? In madness, yes. And yet what
Tx:21.66  what madness sees must be dispelled by reason. Reason assures you  Heaven is what you want, and all you want. Listen to Him Who speaks
Tx:22.3  He denies not his own reality, because it is the truth. Just under  Heaven does he stand, but close enough not to return to earth. For
Tx:22.3  Heaven's holiness. How far from home can a relationship so like to  Heaven be?
Tx:22.15  holy relationship, the home prepared for them as earth is turned to  Heaven.
Tx:22.22  you can pause uncertainly, waiting to choose between the joy of  Heaven and the misery of hell. Until you choose Heaven, you are in
Tx:22.22  between the joy of Heaven and the misery of hell. Until you choose  Heaven, you are in hell and misery.
Tx:22.23 There is no part of  Heaven you can take and weave into illusions. Nor is there one
Tx:22.23  and weave into illusions. Nor is there one illusion you can enter  Heaven with. A savior cannot be a judge, nor mercy condemnation. And
Tx:22.28  sin. Would you have partial forgiveness for yourself? Can you reach  Heaven while a single sin still tempts you to remain in misery?
Tx:22.28  Heaven while a single sin still tempts you to remain in misery?  Heaven is the home of perfect purity, and God created it for you.
Tx:22.39  the other choice. This is not so. A choice made with the power of  Heaven to uphold it cannot be undone. Your way is decided. There will
Tx:22.41  such a long and lonely journey where you walked alone. The gates of  Heaven, open now for you, will you now open to the sorrowful. And
Tx:22.55  accepted in your relationship corrects the error and lays a part of  Heaven in its place. How blessed are you who let this gift be given!
Tx:22.55  place. How blessed are you who let this gift be given! Each part of  Heaven that you bring is given you. And every empty place in Heaven
Tx:22.55  part of Heaven that you bring is given you. And every empty place in  Heaven that you fill again with the Eternal Light you bring shines
Tx:22.56  to others? And who would fail to recognize a gift he let be laid in  Heaven through himself? The gentle service that you give the Holy
Tx:23.4  attraction. Would you, for all these meaningless distractions, lay  Heaven aside? Your destiny and purpose are far beyond them in the
Tx:23.6  you but is part of you. Look on it lovingly, and see the light of  Heaven in it. So will you come to understand all that is given you.
Tx:23.6  you once thought sinful now will be reinterpreted as part of  Heaven. How beautiful it is to walk clean and redeemed and happy
Tx:23.31  you made for your salvation. They hold in place the substitute for  Heaven which you prefer. This is their purpose; they were made for
Tx:23.37 There is no life outside of  Heaven. Where God created life, there life must be. In any state
Tx:23.37  Where God created life, there life must be. In any state apart from  Heaven, life is illusion. At best, it seems like life; at worst, like
Tx:23.37  not life, equal in their inaccuracy and lack of meaning. Life not in  Heaven is impossible, and what is not in Heaven is not anywhere.
Tx:23.37  of meaning. Life not in Heaven is impossible, and what is not in  Heaven is not anywhere. Outside of Heaven, only the conflict of
Tx:23.37  is impossible, and what is not in Heaven is not anywhere. Outside of  Heaven, only the conflict of illusions stands; senseless, impossible,
Tx:23.37  and beyond all reason, and yet perceived as an eternal barrier to  Heaven. Illusions are but forms. Their content is never true.
Tx:23.39  another nor that return from one is easier. The whole descent from  Heaven lies in each one. And where your thinking starts, there must
Tx:23.40  form has placed your foot upon the twisted stairway that leads from  Heaven. Yet any instant it is possible to have all this undone. How
Tx:23.40  all this undone. How can you know whether you chose the stairs to  Heaven or the way to hell? Quite easily. How do you feel? Is peace in
Tx:23.40  Are you certain which way you go? And are you sure the goal of  Heaven can be reached? If not, you walk alone. Ask, then, your Friend
Tx:23.47  of safety. In Him is no attack, and no illusion in any form stalks  Heaven. Heaven is wholly true. No difference enters, and what is all
Tx:23.47  In Him is no attack, and no illusion in any form stalks Heaven.  Heaven is wholly true. No difference enters, and what is all the same
Tx:23.52  a miracle instead of murder. And God Himself and all the lights of  Heaven will gently lean to you and hold you up. For you have chosen
Tx:23.53  gone and not perceived. The body stands between the Father and the  Heaven He created for His Son because it has no purpose.
Tx:24.10  of special goals. And would you now defeat the goal of holiness that  Heaven gave it? What perspective can the special have that does not
Tx:24.14  them as one with Him. They chose their specialness instead of  Heaven and instead of peace and wrapped it carefully in sin to keep
Tx:24.18  release to both of you. Here stands your brother with the key to  Heaven in his hand held out to you. Let not the dream of specialness
Tx:24.20  have reached this final obstacle that seems to make God and His  Heaven so remote that they cannot be reached. Here in this holy place
Tx:24.22  could make the truth of God and you as one seem anything but  Heaven and the hope of peace at last in sight.
Tx:24.46  He gives them vision for their sightless eyes and sings to them of  Heaven that their ears may hear no more the sound of battle and of
Tx:24.47  seek salvation in a war with love, consider this: the holy Lord of  Heaven has Himself come down to you to offer you your own completion.
Tx:24.50 Without you there would be a lack in God, a  Heaven incomplete, a Son without a Father. There could be no universe
Tx:24.60  no sacrifice is asked, no strain called forth, and all the power of  Heaven and the might of truth itself is given to provide the means
Tx:24.66  gone. Its holy purpose gave it immortality, setting another light in  Heaven, where your creations recognize a gift from you, a sign that
Tx:24.67  you are but means, along with it. God is a Means as well as End. In  Heaven, means and end are one, and one with Him. This is the state of
Tx:25.8 Since you believe that you are separate,  Heaven presents itself to you as separate too. Not that it is in
Tx:25.20 How could the Lord of  Heaven not be glad if you appreciate His masterpiece? What could He
Tx:25.27  where it must be and light the body up instead of it. The lamps of  Heaven are not for it to choose to see them where it will. If it
Tx:25.33  believing them to be the bringers of rejoicing and of joy. Even in  Heaven does this law obtain. The Son of God creates to bring him joy,
Tx:25.35  you homeless. Those who offer peace to everyone have found a home in  Heaven the world cannot destroy. For it is large enough to hold the
Tx:25.36 In you is all of  Heaven. Every leaf that falls is given life in you. Each bird that
Tx:25.36  for you. What aim can supersede the Will of God and of His Son that  Heaven be restored to him for whom it was created as his only home?
Tx:25.36  be brought to truth than by your willingness to bring the light of  Heaven with you as you walk beyond the world of darkness into light?
Tx:25.40  have found if he fulfilled the role God gave to him. But think not  Heaven is lost to him alone. Nor can it be regained unless the way is
Tx:25.41  fulfilled is but the means to let yours be. And so you walk toward  Heaven or toward hell, but not alone. How beautiful his sinlessness
Tx:25.42  His love for you; through your attack believe He hates you, thinking  Heaven must be hell. Look once again upon your brother, not without
Tx:25.42  your brother, not without the understanding that he is the way to  Heaven or to hell as you perceive him. But forget not this—the role
Tx:25.50  a wish to make this world's foundation sure as love, dependable as  Heaven, and as strong as God Himself. The world is safe from love to
Tx:25.51  Nor can the basis of a world He did not make be firm and sure as  Heaven. How could it be that hell and Heaven are the same? And is it
Tx:25.51  not make be firm and sure as Heaven. How could it be that hell and  Heaven are the same? And is it possible that what He did not will
Tx:25.59  assigned to you in God's Own plan to show His Sons that hell and  Heaven are different, not the same. And that in Heaven they are all
Tx:25.59  Sons that hell and Heaven are different, not the same. And that in  Heaven they are all the same, without the differences which would
Tx:25.59  the same, without the differences which would have made a hell of  Heaven and a heaven of hell, had such insanity been possible.
Tx:25.59  without the differences which would have made a hell of Heaven and a  heaven of hell, had such insanity been possible.
Tx:25.64  remains to those who still believe in sin? What could they know of  Heaven and the justice of the saved?
Tx:25.68  to strike them dead with lightning bolts torn from the “fires” of  Heaven by God's own angry hand. They do believe that Heaven is hell
Tx:25.68  the “fires” of Heaven by God's own angry hand. They do believe that  Heaven is hell and are afraid of love. And deep suspicion and the
Tx:25.72  one that you accept brings joy to Him as well as you. He knows that  Heaven is richer made by each one you accept. And God rejoices as His
Tx:25.77  way, as God appointed for His holy Son. This is the only justice  Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your special
Tx:25.78  you will forgo all values of this world in favor of the peace of  Heaven. Not one sin would you retain. And not one doubt that this is
Tx:25.79  is lost to you or anyone, but cherished and preserved [for you] in  Heaven, where all of the treasures given to God's Son are kept for
Tx:26.5  for you. Yet it can become a treasure house as rich and limitless as  Heaven itself. No instant passes here in which your brother's
Tx:26.7  that you have power to make of them what God willed not they be. In  Heaven God's Son is not imprisoned in a body nor is sacrificed in
Tx:26.8 And as he is in  Heaven, so must he be eternally and everywhere. He is the same
Tx:26.17  intact and undefiled. And all you need to do is but to wish that  Heaven be given you instead of hell, and every bolt and barrier that
Tx:26.19  There is a borderland of thought which stands between this world and  Heaven. It is not a place, and when you reach it is apart from time.
Tx:26.19  are judged to be untrue. This borderland is just beyond the gate of  Heaven. Here is every thought made pure and wholly simple. Here is
Tx:26.22 Salvation stops just short of  Heaven, for only perception needs salvation. Heaven was never lost
Tx:26.22  stops just short of Heaven, for only perception needs salvation.  Heaven was never lost and so cannot be saved. Yet who can make a
Tx:26.22  so cannot be saved. Yet who can make a choice between the wish for  Heaven and the wish for hell unless he recognizes they are not the
Tx:26.25  the world gives way to simple justice past the gate that opens into  Heaven. No one forgives unless he has believed in sin and still
Tx:26.26  see. Each flower shines in light, and every bird sings of the joy of  Heaven. There is no sadness, and there is no parting here, for
Tx:26.27  beyond the universe to touch the heart of all creation? What is  Heaven but a song of gratitude and love and praise by everything
Tx:26.27  set where once sin was believed to be. And here does every light of  heaven come to be rekindled and increased in joy. For here is what
Tx:26.28 Forgiveness brings no little miracles to lay before the gate of  Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself comes to receive each gift that
Tx:26.29  will become an altar to the truth, and you will join the lights of  Heaven there and sing their song of gratitude and praise. And as they
Tx:26.29  be complete, so will you go with them. For no one hears the song of  Heaven and remains without a voice that adds its power to the song
Tx:26.29  gate. How little is the hindrance which withholds the wealth of  Heaven from you! And how great will be the joy in Heaven when you
Tx:26.29  the wealth of Heaven from you! And how great will be the joy in  Heaven when you join the mighty chorus to the love of God!
Tx:26.30  different ways. All learning is a help or hindrance to the gate of  Heaven. Nothing in between is possible. There are two teachers only,
Tx:26.30  is meaningful. For never will another road be made except the way to  Heaven. You but choose whether to go toward Heaven or away to
Tx:26.30  made except the way to Heaven. You but choose whether to go toward  Heaven or away to nowhere. There is nothing else to choose.
Tx:26.34 The tiny instant you would keep and make eternal passed away in  Heaven too soon for anything to notice it had come. What disappeared
Tx:26.37  be returned to you? And do you want that fearful instant kept, when  Heaven seemed to disappear and God was feared and made a symbol of
Tx:26.45  Yet God has given him a better Friend in Whom all power in earth and  Heaven rests. The one illusion that you think is friend obscures His
Tx:26.52  of healing and the lasting grounds for hell. If this were so, would  Heaven be opposed by its own opposite, as real as it. Then would

W1:76.12  His Voice will speak of this to us, as well as of the joys of  Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. We will repeat today's
W1:78.11  of love the Holy Spirit showed you in their place. The world and  Heaven join in thanking you, for not one thought of God but must

W1:99.3 How could there be a meeting place at all where earth and  Heaven can be reconciled within a mind where both of them exist? The
W1:100.4  God's plan. Just as your light increases every light that shines in  Heaven, so your joy on earth calls to all minds to let their sorrows

W1:121.7  release from hell through you and turns to you imploringly for  Heaven here and now. It has no hope, but you become its hope. And as
W1:122.6 Here is the answer! Would you stand outside while all of  Heaven waits for you within? Forgive and be forgiven. As you give,
W1:126.5  escape the justified repayment for his sin. Think you the Lord of  Heaven would allow the world's salvation to depend on this? Would not
W1:129.10 Today the lights of  Heaven bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest beyond the
W1:130.11  what you see. Perception is consistent with your choice, and hell or  Heaven comes to you as one.
W1:130.12  sight, and what you will behold is hell indeed. Yet the release of  Heaven still remains within your range of choice to take the place of
W1:131.5 Be glad that search you must. Be glad as well to learn you search for  Heaven and must find the goal you really want. No one can fail to
W1:131.6  nor affect His perfect, timeless, and unchanging Love. You will find  Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall away, yet not because
W1:131.7 Why wait for  Heaven? It is here today. Time is the great illusion; it is past or
W1:131.8  Heaven remains your one alternative to this strange world you made
W1:131.8  and attacks itself is not of Him. He did not make two minds, with  Heaven as the glad effect of one and earth the other's sorry outcome
W1:131.9  it be His Son could be in hell when God Himself established him in  Heaven? Could he lose what the Eternal Will has given him to be his
W1:131.10  contradicts what has no opposite. He thinks he made a hell opposing  Heaven and believes that he abides in what does not exist, while
W1:131.10  Heaven and believes that he abides in what does not exist, while  Heaven is the place he cannot find. Leave foolish thoughts like these
W1:131.17 You cannot fail today. There walks with you the Spirit  Heaven sent you that you might approach this door some day and
W1:131.18  and meaningless laments. Salvation's time has come. Today is set by  Heaven Itself to be a time of grace for you and for the world. If you
W1:133.14  more than merely letting you make choices easily and without pain.  Heaven Itself is reached by empty hands and open minds, which come
W1:133.17  what waits for everyone who reaches unencumbered to the gate of  Heaven, which swings open as he comes. Should you begin to let
W1:134.22 No one is crucified alone, and yet no one can enter  Heaven by himself.
W1:135.21 Without defenses, you become a light which  Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its own. And it will lead you on
W1:135.26  wonder why you ever thought that you must be defended from release.  Heaven asks nothing. It is hell that makes extravagant demands for
W1:136.10  to die. And so the body is more powerful than everlasting life,  Heaven more frail than hell, and God's design for the salvation of
W1:136.11 Such is your planning for your own defense. And you believe that  Heaven quails before such mad attacks as these, with God made blind
W1:136.12  remains unheeding of the laws by which you thought to govern it. And  Heaven has not bowed to hell, nor life to death. You can but choose
W1:138.1 In this world,  Heaven is a choice because here we believe there are alternatives to
W1:138.1  that all things have an opposite, and what we want we choose. If  Heaven exists, there must be hell as well, for contradiction is the
W1:138.2 It is this strange perception of the truth that makes the choice of  Heaven seem to be the same as the relinquishment of hell. It is not
W1:138.6 In this insanely complicated world,  Heaven appears to take the form of choice rather than merely being
W1:138.9  Heaven is chosen consciously. The choice cannot be made until
W1:138.10 The conscious choice of  Heaven is as sure as is the ending of the fear of hell when it is
W1:138.11 We make the choice for  Heaven as we wake and spend five minutes making sure that we have
W1:138.13  Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it now and will not change
W1:149.2 [138]  Heaven is the decision I must make.
W1:151.17  the world unites with us and happily accepts our holy thoughts which  Heaven has corrected and made pure. Now has our ministry begun at
W1:152.11  gentleness, his perfect sinlessness, his Father's Love, his right to  Heaven and release from hell are joyously accepted as our own. Now do
W1:153.18  where you will walk in true defenselessness, for you will know that  Heaven goes with you. Nor would you keep your mind away from Him a
W1:154.1  a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety. Our part is cast in  Heaven, not in hell. And what we think is weakness can be strength;
W1:157.1  is a special time of promise in your calendar of days. It is a time  Heaven has set apart to shine upon and cast a timeless light upon
W1:157.3 Today it will be given you to feel a touch of  Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning. Yet you have
W1:157.6  to the same experience in which the world is quietly forgot and  Heaven is remembered for a while.
W1:157.7  becomes a little closer to the end of time, a little more like  Heaven in its ways, a little nearer its deliverance. And you who
W1:157.8  of life, Translator of perception into truth, the holy Guide to  Heaven given you has dreamed for you this journey which you make and
W1:159.1  requires first you have it in your own possession. Here the laws of  Heaven and the world agree. But here they also separate. The world
W1:159.3  which never died but has been kept obscure. Christ's vision pictures  Heaven, for it sees a world so like to Heaven that what God created
W1:159.3  Christ's vision pictures Heaven, for it sees a world so like to  Heaven that what God created perfect can be mirrored there. The
W1:159.4  receiver are united in extension here on earth as they are one in  Heaven. Christ beholds no sin in anyone, and in His sight the sinless
W1:161.1  Here is Atonement made complete, the world passed safely by, and  Heaven now restored. Here is the answer of the Voice of God.
W1:161.9 This do the body's eyes behold in one whom  Heaven cherishes, the angels love, and God created perfect. This is
W1:161.11  to you of ancient melodies you will remember. You are not forgot in  Heaven. Would you not remember it?
W1:164.1  yet He hears them faintly, for beyond them all He hears the song of  Heaven and the Voice of God more clear, more meaningful, more near.
W1:165.4 Deny not  Heaven. It is yours today but for the asking. Nor need you perceive
W1:168.4  hearts rise up and claim the light as theirs. What now remains that  Heaven be delayed an instant longer? What remains undone when your
W1:169.11  that grace provides will end in time, for grace foreshadows  Heaven yet does not replace the thought of time but for a little
W1:R5.10  And together we will teach them to our brothers. God would not have  Heaven incomplete. It waits for you, as I do. I am incomplete without
W1:182.3  The home he seeks cannot be made by him. There is no substitute for  Heaven. All he ever made was hell.
W1:182.4  Child shall go is holy ground. It is His holiness that lights up  Heaven and that brings to earth the pure reflection of the light
W1:182.4  earth the pure reflection of the light above, wherein are earth and  Heaven joined as one.
W1:182.9  messages to those who think he is their enemy. He holds the might of  Heaven in His hand and calls them friend, and gives His strength to
W1:184.8  you made the world. Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and  Heaven is beyond your naming. When you call upon a brother, it is to
W1:184.12  to those who chose the teaching of the world to take the place of  Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds accept
W1:185.1  further sorrow possible for you in any form, in any place or time.  Heaven would be completely given back to full awareness, memory of
W1:185.9  be asked of all of them: “Is this what I would have, in place of  Heaven and the peace of God?” This is the choice you make. Be not
W1:186.1  It but acknowledges the Will of God is done on earth as well as  Heaven. It unites all wills on earth in Heaven's plan to save the
W1:186.14  Itself. Forgiveness is an earthly form of love which as it is in  Heaven has no form. Yet what is needed here is given here as it is
W1:187.10  of God is on our lips. And as we look within, we see the purity of  Heaven shine in our reflection of our Father's Love.
W1:188.1 Why wait for  Heaven? Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The
W1:189.10  as well, be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a part of  Heaven now. Amen.
W1:190.8  does fear appear to triumph over love and time replace eternity and  Heaven. And the world becomes a cruel and a bitter place, where
W1:190.11  choose between illusions and the truth, or pain and joy, or hell and  Heaven. Let our gratitude unto our Teacher fill our hearts as we are
W1:190.11  place of sin, the peace of God instead of conflict, and the light of  Heaven for the darkness of the world.
W1:191.11  and suffer pain, hear this: all power is given you in earth and  Heaven. There is nothing that you cannot do. You play the game of
W1:191.13  Remember this and all the world is free. Remember this and earth and  Heaven are one.
W1:192.2  it is the means by which untruth can be undone. And who would pardon  Heaven? Yet on earth you need the means to let illusion go. Creation
W1:192.4 Forgiveness gently looks upon all things unknown in  Heaven, sees them disappear, and leaves the world a clean and
W1:193.2  perception is made true and beautiful enough to let the light of  Heaven shine upon it. It is He Who answers what His Son would
W1:193.3  to be received by every mind which had forgotten it as it exists in  Heaven and in God. Thus He encompassed what He could not see nor
W1:193.20  the Love of God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to  Heaven. God will take this final step Himself. Do not deny the little
W1:194.1  the distance is that it encompasses, it sets you down just short of  Heaven, with the goal in sight and obstacles behind. Your foot has
W1:198.6  love upon them. Those who hear His words have heard the song of  Heaven, for these are the words in which all will merge as one at
W1:198.12  illusion which proclaims there is no condemnation in God's Son, and  Heaven is remembered instantly; the world forgotten, all its weird
W1:199.8  world is blessed along with you; God's Son will weep no more, and  Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy your practice brings
W1:200.2  by what can only hurt, of making peace of chaos, joy of pain, and  Heaven out of hell. Attempt no more to win through losing, nor to die
W1:200.3  for hell, when you have but to look with open eyes to find that  Heaven lies before you, through a door that opens easily to welcome
W1:200.6  In truth it has no function and does nothing, for it is unknown in  Heaven. It is only hell where it is needed and where it must serve a
W1:200.8  as different and leading from this fresh perception to the gate of  Heaven and the way beyond. Peace is the answer to conflicting goals,
W1:200.9 Let us not lose our way again today. We go to  Heaven, and the path is straight. Only if we attempt to wander can
W1:200.10  sought before. Now are they underfoot. And you look up and on toward  Heaven, with the body's eyes but serving for an instant longer now.
W2:223.2  And we would not forget You longer. We are lonely here and long for  Heaven where we are at home. Today we would return. Our Name is
W2:224.1  glorious and great, wholly beneficent and free from guilt that  Heaven looks to it to give it light. It lights the world as well. It
W2:226.2  I to linger in a place of vain desires and of broken dreams when  Heaven can so easily be mine?
W2:227.2 And so today we find our glad return to  Heaven, which we never really left. The Son of God this day lays down
W2:WS.5  dreams are done, eternity has shined away the world, and only  Heaven now exists at all.
W2:231.2  me, and with the One as well Who is our Father. To remember Him is  Heaven. This we seek. And only this is what it will be given us to
W2:WIW.4  let Him give you peace and certainty, which you have thrown away but  Heaven has preserved for you in Him.
W2:241.2  at last to You again. Father, Your Son, who never left, returns to  Heaven and his home. How glad are we to have our sanity restored to
W2:249.1  of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving. It is now so like to  Heaven that it quickly is transformed into the Light that it
W2:WIS.5  is no sin. Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold return to  Heaven back? How long, oh holy Son of God, how long?
W2:252.2  who am Your Son, that I may waken to the truth in You and know that  Heaven is restored to me.
W2:253.1  am I led past this world to my creations, children of my Will, in  Heaven where my holy Self abides with them and Him Who has created me.
W2:255.1  God's Son can have no cares and must remain forever in the peace of  Heaven. In his name I give today to finding what my Father wills for
W2:WIB.4  was made to fence him into hell without escape, yet has the goal of  Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of hell. The Son of God extends
W2:263.2 And while we still remain outside the gate of  Heaven, let us look on all we see through holy vision and the eyes of
W2:265.1  no fear in it. Let no appearance of my “sins” obscure the light of  Heaven, shining on the world. What is reflected here is in God's
W2:WIC.3  and at home in God alone, does Christ remain at peace within the  Heaven of your holy mind. This is the only part of you that has
W2:272.1 Father, the truth belongs to me. My home is set in  Heaven by Your will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions
W2:272.2  ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams when  Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell and love will happily
W2:WIHS.5  be but itself. The Holy Spirit is His gift by Which the quietness of  Heaven is restored to God's beloved Son. Would you refuse to take the
W2:281.2  today. For I am far beyond all pain. My Father placed me safe in  Heaven, watching over me. And I would not attack the Son He loves,
W2:283.1  idols. I am He my Father loves. His holiness remains the light of  Heaven and the Love of God. Is not what is beloved of You secure? Is
W2:283.1  of God. Is not what is beloved of You secure? Is not the light of  Heaven infinite? Is not Your Son my true Identity, when You created
W2:286.1  peace is mine. My heart is quiet and my mind at rest. Your Love is  Heaven, and Your Love is mine.
W2:287.1 Where would I go but  Heaven? What could be a substitute for happiness? What gift could I
W2:292.1  meet. Yet is the ending certain. For God's Will is done in earth and  Heaven. We will seek and we will find according to His Will, which
W2:300.2  to Your Voice and learned exactly what to do to be restored to  Heaven and our true Identity. And we give thanks today the world
W2:306.1  today when it can offer me a day in which I see a world so like to  Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me? Today I can forget the
W2:310.1  The joy that comes to me is not of days nor hours, for it comes from  Heaven to Your Son. This day will be Your sweet reminder to remember
W2:320.1  his mind and lays before it all the strength and love in earth and  Heaven. I am he to whom all this is given. I am he in whom the power
W2:325.1  on and help his brothers walk ahead with him and find the way to  Heaven and to God.
W2:326.1  of God, and so I have the power to create like You. And as it is in  Heaven, so on earth. Your plan I follow here, and at the end I know
W2:326.1  the end I know that You will gather Your Effects into the tranquil  Heaven of Your Love, where earth will disappear and separate thoughts
W2:340.2  in fear, and none the Father will not gather to Himself, awake in  Heaven in the Heart of Love.
W2:WIM.5 Miracles fall like drops of healing rain from  Heaven on a dry and dusty world, where starved and thirsty creatures
W2:342.1  door beyond which lies the end of dreams. I stand before the gate of  Heaven, wondering if I should enter in and be at home. Let me not
W2:345.1  the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive. Father, in  Heaven it is different, for there, there are no needs. But here on
W2:WAI.1  without opposite. I am the holy home of God Himself. I am the  Heaven where His love resides. I am His holy sinlessness itself, for
W2:WAI.3  and as good. We do not seek a function that is past the gates of  Heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our part. We are

W2:FL.4  contains the memory of God and points the way to Him and to the  Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive our brother who can
W2:E.5  that hell will claim you not and that each choice you make brings  Heaven nearer to your reach. And so we walk with Him from this time
M:4.10  for here is Heaven's state fully reflected. From here the way to  Heaven is open and easy. In fact, it is here. Who would “go” anywhere
M:4.15  has meaning to the sane? Who chooses hell when he perceives a way to  Heaven? And who would choose the weakness that must come from harm in
M:5.7  perspective, without distortion and without fear, they re-establish  Heaven.
M:11.4  of God has entered. What else but a thought of God turns hell to  Heaven merely by being what it is? The earth bows down before its
M:13.4  all his peace. And to possess them must he sacrifice his hope of  Heaven and remembrance of his Father's Love. Who in his sane mind
M:13.7  is total. There are no “half sacrifices.” You cannot give up  Heaven partially. You cannot be a little bit in hell. The Word of God
M:14.3  restored. It goes against all the thinking of the world, but so does  Heaven.
M:14.5  it departs, for it will not end as it began. To turn hell into  Heaven is the function of God's teachers, for what they teach are

Tx:17.6 Be willing, then, to give all you have  held outside the truth to Him who knows the truth and in Whom all is
Tx:19.30  The only power which could change perception is thus kept impotent,  held to the body by the fear of changed perception which its teacher,
Tx:19.87  hands, it holds in perfect safety every miracle you will perform,  held out to you. The miracle of life is ageless, born in time but
Tx:19.90  without the fear of death? What would you feel and think if death  held no attraction for you? Very simply, you would remember your
Tx:20.24  the Son of God and give him thanks for all the happiness which he  held out to you? Did you recognize each other as the eternal gift of

Tx:16.69 The Holy Spirit asks only this little  help of you. Whenever your thoughts wander to a special relationship
Tx:16.79  of God and not the ego in seeking how Atonement can come to you. His  help suffices, for His Messenger understands how to restore the

Tx:18.20  nor snatch it away from you. [But He does use it differently, as a  help to make His purpose real to you.] Your special relationship will
Tx:18.30  fear that you experience is really past. Time has been readjusted to  help us do together what your separate pasts would hinder. You have
Tx:18.42  attempt to overlook your guilt before you ask the Holy Spirit's  help. That is His function. Your part is only to offer Him a little
Tx:18.84  and needs no guide. Yet this wild and delusional thought needs  help because in its delusions it thinks it is the Son of God, whole
Tx:19.15  will keep your little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith  help the Holy Spirit prepare the ground for the most holy garden
Tx:19.28  What could it be but a mistake you would keep hidden—a call for  help that you would keep unheard and thus unanswered? In time the

Tx:19.97  led you here. No obstacle to peace can be surmounted through its  help. It does not open up its secrets and bid you look on them and go
Tx:19.105  and remove all trace of guilt from his disturbed and tortured mind.  Help him to lift the heavy burden of sin you laid upon him and he
Tx:20.3  not wander into the temptation of crucifixion and delay him there.  Help him to go in peace beyond it, with the light of his own
Tx:20.33  you to learn. For He Who knows the rest will see to it without your  help. But think not that He does not need your part to help Him with
Tx:20.33  without your help. But think not that He does not need your part to  help Him with the rest. For in your part lies all of it, without
Tx:20.71  of weakness, vulnerability, and loss of power. Can such a savior  help you? Would you turn in your distress and need for help unto the
Tx:20.71  such a savior help you? Would you turn in your distress and need for  help unto the helpless? Is the pitifully little the perfect choice to
Tx:21.40  serve the Holy Spirit's goal and give it power to serve as means to  help the blind to see. But in their seeing, they look past it, as do
Tx:21.50  from you to be itself. But your awareness of it needs your  help because it is your choice. Listen to what the ego says and see
Tx:21.51  as breathing to the body. They are the obvious response to calls for  help, the only one It makes. Miracles seem unnatural to the ego
Tx:21.59  Reason will also tell you when you think you sin, you call for  help. Yet if you will not accept the help you call for, you will not
Tx:21.59  you think you sin, you call for help. Yet if you will not accept the  help you call for, you will not believe that it is yours to give. And
Tx:21.89  final question. Your answer to the others has made it possible to  help you be but partially insane. And yet it is the final one that
Tx:22.31  a key, across the road to peace. No one who looks on it without the  help of reason would try to pass it. The body's eyes behold it as
Tx:23.5  of him. Leave him not frightened and alone in his temptation but  help him rise above it and perceive the light of which he is a part.
Tx:23.25  this third principle. Now it becomes impossible to turn to Him for  help in misery. For now He has become the “enemy” Who caused it and
Tx:23.25  in its attack. And now is conflict made inevitable and beyond the  help of God. And now salvation must remain impossible because the
Tx:23.26  is the Will of God. From where all this begins, there is no sight of  help that can succeed. Only destruction can be the outcome. And God

Tx:25.28 The time he chooses can be any time, for  help is there, awaiting but his choice. And when he chooses to avail

Tx:25.84 Salvation cannot seek to  help God's Son be more unfair than he has sought to be. If miracles,

Tx:26.51  value and less willingly offered to truth for healing and for  help. No illusion has any truth in it. Yet it appears some are more
Tx:27.44  only way to heal is to be healed. The miracle extends without your  help, but you are needed that it can begin. Accept the miracle of

Tx:28.61  if you deny yourself your wholeness and your health, the Source of  help, the Call to healing, and the Call to heal? Your savior waits

Tx:29.13  that you will look on them and take them for your own. He needs your  help in giving them to all who walk apart believing they are separate

Tx:29.30  meant to be. He asks for help in every dream he has, and you have  help to give him if you see the function of the dream as He perceives
Tx:29.69  you are fearful if you do not feel a deep content, a certainty of  help, a calm assurance Heaven goes with you—be sure you made an
Tx:30.1  thing alone—your willingness to practice every step. Each one will  help a little every time it is attempted. And together will these
Tx:30.20 This works against the sense of opposition and reminds you that  help is not being thrust upon you but is something that you want and
Tx:30.29  you decide. For they are made with idols or with God. And you ask  help of Christ or anti-Christ, and which you choose will join with
Tx:30.71  natural reaction to distress which rests on error and thus calls for  help. Forgiveness is the only sane response. It keeps your rights
Tx:31.15  split between the two. And every friend or enemy becomes a means to  help you save yourself from this.
Tx:31.17  for death or calls for life, for hate or for forgiveness and for  help, is not the same in outcome. Hear the one, and you are separate

W1:3.2 The point of the exercises is to  help you clear your mind of all past associations, to see things
W1:5.5  giving greater weight to some subjects than to others. It might  help to precede the exercises with the statement:
W1:10.5 This idea will  help to release me from all that I now believe.
W1:10.9 This idea will  help to release me from all that I now believe.
W1:26.4 Practice with today's idea will  help you to understand that vulnerability or invulnerability is the
W1:30.4 Real vision is not limited to concepts such as “near” and “far.” To  help you begin to get used to this idea, try to think of things
W1:33.5  the idea to yourself several times. Closing your eyes will probably  help in this form of application.
W1:34.7  If you find you need more than one application of today's idea to  help you change your mind in any specific context, try to take
W1:34.7  to repeating the idea until you feel some sense of relief. It will  help you if you tell yourself specifically:
W1:38.2  with yourself and with anyone else. It is equal in its power to  help anyone because it is equal in its power to save anyone. If you
W1:50.4  Repeat it, think about it, let related thoughts come to  help you recognize its truth, and allow peace to flow over you like a

W1:69.7  effort and small determination call on the power of the universe to  help you, and God Himself will raise you from darkness into light.
W1:70.4 God would not have put the remedy for sickness where it cannot  help. That is the way your mind has worked, but hardly His. He wants
W1:72.4  with what he does in a body. We are doing more than failing to  help in freeing him from its limitations. We are actively trying to
W1:73.17  you are tempted to hold a grievance of any kind. This will  help you let your grievances go instead of cherishing them and hiding
W1:81.7 Let this  help me learn what forgiveness means. Let me not separate my function
W1:93.2 These are beliefs so firmly fixed that it is difficult to  help you see that they are based on nothing. That you have made
W1:95.19 Do not forget today. We need your  help, your little part in bringing happiness to all the world. And
W1:97.5 Give Him the minutes which He needs today to  help you understand with Him you are the Spirit that abides in Him,

W1:R3.11  things, but try to keep the thought with you and let it serve to  help you keep your peace throughout the day as well. If you are
W1:R3.11  are shaken, think of it again. These practice periods are planned to  help you form the habit of applying what you learn each day to
W1:R3.12  serve you in all ways, all times and places, and whenever you need  help of any kind. Try, then, to take it with you in the business of
W1:125.6  Word in quiet. There is peace within you to be called upon today to  help make ready your most holy mind to hear the Voice of its Creator
W1:126.2  your attitudes have no effect on them, and their appeals for  help are not in any way related to your own. You further think that
W1:126.8  the truth that giver and receiver are the same. You will need  help to make this meaningful because it is so alien to the thoughts
W1:126.8  it is so alien to the thoughts to which you are accustomed. But the  Help you need is there. Give Him your faith today and ask Him that He
W1:126.10  changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat today's idea, and ask for  help in understanding what it really means. Be willing to be taught.
W1:126.12 All that I give is given to myself. The  Help I need to learn that this is true is with me now. And I will
W1:127.5 No laws the world obeys can  help you grasp love's meaning. What the world believes was made to
W1:127.8  what love means. He will shine through your idle thoughts today and  help you understand the truth of love. In loving gentleness, He will

W1:136.16  which we give today. We introduce it with a healing prayer to  help us rise above defensiveness and let truth be as it has always
W1:137.10 His life becomes your own as you extend the little  help He asks in freeing you from everything that ever caused you
W1:138.7 So we begin today considering the choice that time was made to  help us make. Such is its holy purpose, now transformed from the

W1:193.12 God would not have you suffer thus. He would  help you forgive yourself. His Son does not remember who he is. And
W1:196.12 There is no thought of God that does not go with you to  help you reach that instant and to go beyond it quickly, surely, and
W1:199.5  you take. There is no thought that will not gain thereby in power to  help the world, and none which will not gain in added gifts to you as
W1:R6.11  He will not fail to be available to you each time you call to Him to  help you. Let us offer Him the whole review we now begin, and let us

Tx:1.43  Holiness can never be really hidden in darkness, but man can deceive  himself about it. This illusion makes him fearful, because he knows

Tx:1.91  according to the particular hierarchy of needs he establishes for  himself. His hierarchy, in turn, depends on his perception of what he
Tx:1.91  if he had not distorted his perception of truth and thus perceived  himself as lacking. The concept of any sort of need hierarchy arose
Tx:1.91  having made this fundamental error, he had already fragmented  himself into levels with different needs. As he integrates he becomes

Tx:2.65  responsibility of the miracle worker is to accept the Atonement for  himself. This means that he recognizes that mind is the only creative
Tx:2.65  and reinstating its purely constructive powers, he has placed  himself in a position where he can undo the level confusion of
Tx:2.69  is necessary. Man is not willing to look on what he has done to  himself. Healing is an ability lent to man after the separation,
Tx:2.69  perceiving the perfection of another even if he cannot perceive it  himself.
Tx:2.70  Since his own thinking is faulty, he cannot see the Atonement for  himself or he would have no need for charity. The charity which is
Tx:2.88  fully aware of it all the time. However, if anyone hopes to spare  himself from fear, there are some things he must realize and realize
Tx:2.92 The world is full of examples of how man has depreciated  himself because he is afraid of his own thoughts. In some forms of

Tx:2.98  been said that man believes he cannot control fear because he  himself created it. His belief in it seems to render it out of his
Tx:2.98  interim, the sense of conflict is inevitable since man has placed  himself in a strangely illogical position. He believes in the power
Tx:2.105  his magic-miracle confusion is to remember that he did not create  himself. He is apt to forget this when he becomes egocentric, and

Tx:3.3  in this course, however, do involve a more direct approach to God  Himself. It would be most unwise to start on these steps without
Tx:3.12  have to pause and ask, “How could this be?” Is it likely that God  Himself would be capable of the kind of thinking which His own words
Tx:3.13  result, undertaken to justify the terrible misperception that God  Himself persecuted His own Son on behalf of salvation. The very words
Tx:3.15  that way. He does not hold the evil deeds of a man even against  himself. Is it likely, then, that He would hold against anyone the
Tx:3.17 God  Himself is not symbolic; He is fact. The Atonement too is totally
Tx:3.26  really unable to deny truth totally, even if he generally deceives  himself in this connection. That is why those who live largely in
Tx:3.40 Consciousness was the first split that man introduced into  himself. He became a perceiver rather than a creator in the true
Tx:3.40  as the domain of the ego. The ego is a man-made attempt to perceive  himself as he wished to be rather than as he is. This is an example
Tx:3.40  confusion we have spoken of before. Yet man can only know  himself as he is because that is all he can be sure of. Everything
Tx:3.41  compartment in the post-separation psyche which man created for  himself. It is capable of asking valid questions but not of
Tx:3.42  always possible. Man has every reason to feel afraid as he perceives  himself. This is why he cannot escape from fear until he knows that

Tx:3.54 Man cannot perceive  himself correctly. He has no image. The word “image” is always
Tx:3.54  needless complexities are the result of man's attempt to regard  himself as both separated and unseparated at the same time. It is
Tx:3.56  already have. In electing to perceive instead of to know, man placed  himself in a position where he could resemble his Father only by
Tx:3.56  only by miraculously perceiving. He has lost the knowledge that he  himself is a miracle. Miraculous creation was his Source and also his
Tx:3.66  problem,” it is always because he believes he is the author of  himself, projects his delusion onto others, and then perceives the
Tx:3.74  no sense. The whole picture is one in which man acts in a way he  himself realizes is self-destructive but which he does not choose to
Tx:3.77  Knowledge cannot deceive, but perception can. Man can perceive  himself as self-creating, but he cannot do more than believe it. He

Tx:4.20  and his ego, which are very closely related, but he does not confuse  himself with the father because he does this, although the child may.
Tx:4.25 Each man makes one ego for  himself, although it is subject to enormous variation because of its

Tx:4.105  heals itself. Rehabilitation is an attitude of praising God as He  Himself knows praise. He offers praise to you, and you must offer it
Tx:5.3  It is impossible for a Child of God to love his neighbor except as  himself. That is why the healer's prayer is:
Tx:5.5  calls to every part of the Sonship to rejoice with them and lets God  Himself go out into them and through them. Only the healed mind can
Tx:5.11  higher or the “true” perception, which is so close to truth that God  Himself can flow across the little gap. Knowledge is always ready to

Tx:5.84  potential value of his thought system, because he did not include  himself in it. This is a dissociated state, because the thinker cuts
Tx:5.84  himself in it. This is a dissociated state, because the thinker cuts  himself off from his thoughts. Freud's thought was so conflicted that
Tx:5.88  as an irrevocable call to sanity which the mind cannot lose. Freud  himself could not accept this interpretation, but throughout his
Tx:5.91  at times, but they have not raised the dead. Unless the healer heals  himself, he does not believe that there is no order of difficulty in
Tx:5.92  which you think are made upon you when you know the Voice of God  Himself is in you? God commended His Spirit to you and asks that you
Tx:5.93  because, as I told you before, the remedy is not of your making. God  Himself gave you the perfect correction for everything you have made
Tx:6.10  on your minds of what is already in them. God placed it there  Himself, and so it is true forever. I believed in it and therefore
Tx:6.37  and therefore to deceive. The Holy Spirit projects by recognizing  Himself in every mind and thus perceives them as one. Nothing
Tx:6.37  the Holy Spirit perceives is the same. Wherever He looks He sees  Himself, and because He is united, He offers the whole Kingdom
Tx:6.60  lies in dreams, and the Holy Spirit, shining with the light from God  Himself, speaks only for what lasts forever.

Tx:6.80  desire wholly is to create, and creating cannot be difficult if God  Himself created you as a creator. The second step, then, is still
Tx:6.84  necessary only in your mind so that you cannot project falsely. God  Himself has established what you can project with perfect safety.
Tx:6.91  you to identify only with the center, where God placed the altar to  Himself. We have already said that altars are beliefs, but God and
Tx:7.5  you are determines your gifts, and if God created you by extending  Himself as you, you can only extend yourself as He did. Only joy
Tx:7.9  which they share, can transfer to it. When a brother perceives  himself as sick, he is perceiving himself as not whole and therefore
Tx:7.9  to it. When a brother perceives himself as sick, he is perceiving  himself as not whole and therefore in need. If you too see him this
Tx:7.13  of the revelation in terms of sharing. A person conceives of  himself as separate largely because he perceives of himself as

Tx:7.13  he perceives of himself as bounded by a body. Only if he perceives  himself as a mind can [he overcome this]. Then he is free to use
Tx:7.14  of the law is not adapted at all, being the law of creation. God  Himself created the law by creating by it. And His Sons, who create
Tx:7.24  efforts and all results. By teaching the power of the Kingdom of God  Himself, He teaches you that all power is yours. Its application does
Tx:7.30 God has lit your minds  Himself and keeps your minds lit by His light, because His light is
Tx:7.43  This is coincidental, because the healer may not be experiencing  himself as truly helpful at the time, but the belief that he is, in
Tx:7.46  comes from His and is like His. God cannot be out of accord with  Himself, and you cannot be out of accord with Him. You cannot
Tx:7.48  It is only the Holy Spirit in him that never changes His Mind. He  himself must think he can, or he would not perceive himself as sick.
Tx:7.48  His Mind. He himself must think he can, or he would not perceive  himself as sick. He therefore does not know what his self is.
Tx:7.50 That is how God  Himself created you—in understanding, in appreciation, and in love.
Tx:7.76 Only honor is a fitting gift for those whom God  Himself created worthy of honor and whom He honors. Give them the
Tx:7.80  are part of God. You are as lonely without understanding this as God  Himself is lonely when His Sons do not know Him. The peace of God is
Tx:7.91  you to deprive yourself of your creations than He wills to deprive  Himself of His. Do not withhold your gifts to the Sonship, or you
Tx:7.100 Yet the function which God  Himself gave your minds through His you may deny, but you cannot
Tx:7.104  The Holy Spirit is perfectly trustworthy, as you are. God  Himself trusts you, and therefore your trustworthiness is beyond
Tx:7.109  of loss? Does it teach him that this giving is his joy and that God  Himself thanks him for his giving? That is the only environment in
Tx:8.9  sense? Is this the teacher to whom a Son of God should turn to find  himself? The ego has never given you a sensible answer to anything.
Tx:8.14  this is how you were created. Because your Creator creates only like  Himself, you are like Him. You are part of Him Who is all power and
Tx:8.18  teach you how to do this, for you will know what it means of God  Himself.
Tx:8.20  thyself. There is nothing else to learn. Everyone is looking for  himself and for the power and glory he thinks he has lost. Whenever
Tx:8.24  So do you. God gives whatever belongs to Him, because He gives of  Himself, and everything belongs to Him. Giving of your self is the
Tx:8.31  my will alone cannot help you. Your will is as free as mine, and God  Himself would not go against it. I cannot will what God does not
Tx:8.44  he came home, the father welcomed him with joy, because only the son  himself was his father's treasure. He wanted nothing else.
Tx:8.45  left your Creator, but they extend your creation as God extended  Himself to you. Can the creations of God Himself take joy in what is
Tx:8.45  creation as God extended Himself to you. Can the creations of God  Himself take joy in what is not real? And what is real except the
Tx:8.46  be no question of its worth because its value lies in God's sharing  Himself with it and establishing its value forever.
Tx:8.48  It cannot be contradicted by thought. God does not contradict  Himself, and His Sons, who are like Him, cannot contradict themselves
Tx:8.50 Our creations are as holy as we are, and we are the Sons of God  Himself and therefore as holy as He is. Through our creations, we
Tx:8.50  has joined cannot be separated, and God has joined all His Sons with  Himself. Can you be separated from your life and your being?
Tx:8.53  you will always experience depression. When a Child of God thinks of  himself in this way, he is belittling himself and seeing his brothers
Tx:8.53  When a Child of God thinks of himself in this way, he is belittling  himself and seeing his brothers as similarly belittled. Since he can

Tx:8.57  salvation, which must bring him his. Do not allow him to belittle  himself in your mind, but give him freedom from his belief in
Tx:8.57  he is holy. As part of me, you are. To communicate with part of God  Himself is to reach beyond the Kingdom to its Creator through His
Tx:8.98  and, believing that punishment is inevitable, attempts to teach  himself to like it. The truth is, very simply, that no one wants
Tx:8.99  remember the Will of God, because ultimately everyone must recognize  himself. This recognition is the recognition that his will and God's
Tx:9.16  Anyone who elects a totally insane guide must be totally insane  himself.
Tx:9.25  gain some support from the situation. Seeking to get something for  himself, the unhealed healer does not know how to give and
Tx:9.25  up to him to teach the patient what is real, but he does not know it  himself. What, then, should happen? When God said, “Let there be

Tx:9.33  real to you. God has but one Son, knowing them all as one. Only God  Himself is more than they, but they are not less than He is. Would
Tx:9.46 God  Himself is incomplete without me.
Tx:9.47  anything else. Return your part of Him, and He will give you all of  Himself in exchange for your return of what belongs to Him and
Tx:9.56 Can your grandeur be arrogant when God  Himself witnesses to it? And what can be real that has no witnesses?
Tx:9.57  for your return. God, through His Voice, reminds you of it, and God  Himself keeps your extensions safe within it. Yet you do not know
Tx:9.61 God does not change His Mind about you, for He is not uncertain of  Himself. And what He knows can be known because He does not know only
Tx:9.61  And what He knows can be known because He does not know only for  Himself. He created you for Himself, but He gave you the power to
Tx:9.61  known because He does not know only for Himself. He created you for  Himself, but He gave you the power to create for your self so you
Tx:9.63  God will never decide against you, or He would be deciding against  Himself.
Tx:9.74  do love Him. Can you change your reality? No one can will to destroy  himself. When you think you are attacking yourself, it is a sure sign
Tx:9.77  Your recognition of him as part of God teaches him the truth about  himself, which he is denying. Would you strengthen his denial of God
Tx:9.80  anywhere in the Kingdom merely by denying them completely in  himself. I can heal you because I know you. I know your value for
Tx:9.88  Everything else is merely lawless and therefore chaotic. Yet God  Himself has protected everything He created by His laws. Therefore,
Tx:9.92  is the remaining call of creation. Put all your faith in it, and God  Himself will answer you.
Tx:9.100  What is of God is His forever, and you are of God. Would He allow  Himself to suffer? And would He offer His Son anything that is not
Tx:9.102  Son if he were not free. To interfere with you would be to attack  Himself, and God is not insane. When you denied Him, you were insane.
Tx:9.102  of God. To know that is sanity. To deny it is insanity. God gave  Himself to you in your creation, and His gifts are eternal. Would you
Tx:9.103  to Him, the Kingdom will be restored to His Son. His Son removed  himself from His gift by refusing to accept what had been created for
Tx:9.103  gift by refusing to accept what had been created for him and what he  himself had created in the Name of his Father. Heaven waits for his
Tx:10.5  For you dwell in the Mind of God with your brother, for God  Himself did not will to be alone.
Tx:10.6  There are no beginnings and no endings in God, Whose universe is  Himself. Can you exclude yourself from the universe or from God, Who
Tx:10.9  Because He did not will to be alone, He created a Son like  Himself. Do not deny Him His Son, for your unwillingness to accept
Tx:10.11  His love be contained? God is your heritage because His one gift is  Himself. How can you give except like Him if you would know His gift
Tx:10.13  die. Immortality is His Will for His Son and His Son's will for  himself. God's Son cannot will death for himself because His Father
Tx:10.13  Son and His Son's will for himself. God's Son cannot will death for  himself because His Father is Life and His Son is like Him. Creation

Tx:10.24  Would God let this be real if He did not will to be alone  Himself? And if your will is His, it cannot be true of you because it
Tx:10.25  Yet I can tell you and remind you often that what God wills for  Himself He wills for you, and what He wills for you is yours.
Tx:10.27 God hides nothing from His Son, even though His Son would hide  himself. Yet the Son of God cannot hide his glory, for God wills him
Tx:10.29  would know what belongs to you. Guard carefully His temple, for He  Himself dwells there and abides in peace. You cannot enter God's
Tx:10.37 At God's altar Christ waits for the restoration of  Himself in you. God knows His Son as wholly blameless as Himself, and
Tx:10.37  of Himself in you. God knows His Son as wholly blameless as  Himself, and He is approached through the appreciation of His Son.
Tx:10.57  Christ they need demonstrate nothing, for Christ speaks to them of  Himself and of His Father. They are silent because Christ speaks to
Tx:10.61  Son. For until Christ comes into His own, the Son of God will see  himself as fatherless.
Tx:10.63  Son nor the power of the god he worships over him. For he places  himself at the altar of his god, whether it be the god he made or the

Tx:10.65  of equal value. God does not judge His blameless Son. Having given  Himself to him, how could it be otherwise?
Tx:10.77 No one can withhold truth except from  himself. Yet God will not refuse the answer He gave you. Ask, then,

Tx:10.87  not. Let the Holy Spirit remove all offense of God's Son against  himself and perceive no one but through His guidance, for He would

Tx:11.92 The journey which the Son of God has set  himself is foolish indeed, but the journey on which his Father sets

Tx:12.18  For you call for love to your Father as your Father calls you to  Himself. In that place which you have hidden, you will only to unite

Tx:12.65 It is God's Will that nothing touch His Son except  Himself, and nothing else comes nigh unto him. He is as safe from
Tx:12.65  and nothing else comes nigh unto him. He is as safe from pain as God  Himself, Who watches over him in everything. The world about him
Tx:12.65  The world about him shines with love because God placed him in  Himself where pain is not and love surrounds him without end or flaw.
Tx:12.71  worlds. However holy his perception may become, no world outside  himself holds his inheritance. Within himself he has no needs, for
Tx:12.71  may become, no world outside himself holds his inheritance. Within  himself he has no needs, for light needs nothing but to shine in

Tx:13.10  For never would He leave His own beloved Son outside them and beyond  Himself.
Tx:13.15  in his delusion? The idea that the guiltless Son of God can attack  himself and make himself guilty is insane. In any form, in anyone,
Tx:13.15  The idea that the guiltless Son of God can attack himself and make  himself guilty is insane. In any form, in anyone, believe this not.
Tx:13.19  your Father has in you. He does not value you as you do. He knows  Himself and knows the truth in you. He knows there is no difference,
Tx:13.28  light. The altar to your Father is as pure as He Who raised it to  Himself. Nothing can keep from you what Christ would have you see.
Tx:13.29  and see the light of love shining as steadily and as surely as God  Himself has always loved His Son. And as His son loves Him. There is
Tx:13.30  no idea what love is like. No one who condemns a brother can see  himself as guiltless in the peace of God. If he is guiltless and in
Tx:13.30  in peace and sees it not, he is delusional and has not looked upon  himself. To him I say,
Tx:13.35  the perceived and harsh intrusion of guilt on peace. Yet no one sees  himself in conflict and ravaged by a cruel war unless he believes
Tx:13.35  between forces that are real and unreal powers, he could look upon  himself and see his freedom. No one finds himself ravaged and torn in
Tx:13.35  powers, he could look upon himself and see his freedom. No one finds  himself ravaged and torn in endless battles which he himself
Tx:13.35  No one finds himself ravaged and torn in endless battles which he  himself perceives as wholly without meaning.
Tx:13.39  all doubt and every trace of guilt that His dear Son has laid upon  himself. It is impossible that this mission fail. Nothing can prevent
Tx:13.42 The Communication Link which God  Himself placed within you, joining your minds with His, cannot be
Tx:13.44 Can God's Son lose  himself in dreams when God has placed within him the glad call to
Tx:13.44  within him the glad call to waken and be glad? He cannot separate  himself from what is in him. His sleep will not withstand the call to
Tx:13.70 No penalty is ever asked of God's Son except by  himself and of himself. Every chance given him to heal is another
Tx:13.70 No penalty is ever asked of God's Son except by himself and of  himself. Every chance given him to heal is another opportunity to
Tx:13.70  darkness with light and fear with love. If he refuses it, he binds  himself to darkness because he did not choose to free his brother and
Tx:13.72  else can His Son see or choose to look upon without imposing on  himself the penalty of guilt in place of all the happy teaching the
Tx:13.87 You who belong to the First Cause, created by Him like unto  Himself and part of Him, are more than merely guiltless. The state of
Tx:13.88  undone for you and stand in grace before your Father, He will give  Himself to you as He has always done. Giving Himself is all He knows,
Tx:13.88  Father, He will give Himself to you as He has always done. Giving  Himself is all He knows, and so it is all knowledge. For what He
Tx:13.90  God is right and you are wrong about yourself. He created you out of  Himself but still within Him. He knows what you are. Remember that
Tx:13.90  Son. For this small gift of appreciation for His Love, God will  Himself exchange your gift for His.
Tx:14.1  knowledge is swept away from recognition in the very mind where God  Himself has placed it. If you would but listen and learn how
Tx:14.4  of understanding one another. Each perceives the other as like  himself, making them unable to communicate because each sees the
Tx:14.4  to communicate because each sees the other unlike the way he sees  himself. God can communicate only to the Holy Spirit in your mind
Tx:14.8  away the heavy veils of guilt within which the Son of God has hidden  himself from his own sight. We are all joined in the Atonement here,
Tx:14.10  no fear that teaching this can fail to overcome. The power of God  Himself supports this teaching and guarantees its limitless results.
Tx:14.23  can fail to come where God has called him if he close not the door  himself upon his Father's welcome.
Tx:14.34  Spirit and in you. All interference in the communication that God  Himself wills with His Son is quite impossible here. Unbroken and
Tx:14.37 The link with which the Father joins  Himself to those He gives the power to create like Him can never be
Tx:14.37  be accepted by the Son, for whom it was intended. To whom God gives  Himself, He is given. Your little gifts will vanish on the altar
Tx:14.42  of hidden darkness you have drawn upon it. God will shine upon it of  Himself. Only the clear reflection of Himself can be perceived upon
Tx:14.42  it. God will shine upon it of Himself. Only the clear reflection of  Himself can be perceived upon it. Reflections are seen in light. In
Tx:14.57  wherever it is not recognized, you will recognize it. And God  Himself, Who wills to be with His Son forever, will bless each
Tx:14.67  so little. Yet He cannot compel His Son to turn to Him and remain  Himself. It is impossible that God lose His Identity, for if He did,
Tx:14.67  if He did, you would lose yours. And being yours, He cannot change  Himself, for your identity is changeless. The miracle acknowledges
Tx:14.67  by seeing His Son as he always was and not as he would make  himself. The miracle brings the effects which only guiltlessness can
Tx:14.73  anything. It is only this that you need do. The Holy Spirit will, of  Himself, fill every mind that so makes room for Him.
Tx:15.7  but always as a foretaste of the future. For no one who considers  himself as deserving hell can believe that punishment will end in
Tx:15.18  The blessed instant reaches out to encompass time, as God extends  Himself to encompass you. You who have spent days, hours, and even
Tx:15.27 When God gave  Himself to you in your creation, He established you as host to Him
Tx:15.29  the awareness of magnitude to the host whom God appointed for  Himself. It is beyond all your littleness to give the gift of God,
Tx:15.29  to give the gift of God, but not beyond you. For God would give  Himself through you. He reaches from you to everyone and beyond
Tx:15.38  and immaculate is the holy altar on which your Father has placed  Himself? This you will recognize in the holy instant in which you
Tx:15.62  No one who has not yet experienced the lifting of the veil and felt  himself drawn irresistibly into the light behind it can have faith in
Tx:15.69  savagery belongs not around the chosen host of God, who cannot make  himself host to the ego. In the name of his release, and in the name
Tx:15.71  in love with sacrifice. And for this sacrifice, which he demanded of  himself, he demands the other accept the guilt and sacrifice himself
Tx:15.71  of himself, he demands the other accept the guilt and sacrifice  himself as well. Forgiveness becomes impossible, for the ego believes
Tx:15.82  ensure your perfect creation. This was His gift, for as He withheld  Himself not from you, He withheld not His creation. Nothing that ever
Tx:15.85  you want, it is translated into knowledge by the part which God  Himself plays in the Atonement, for it is the only step in it He
Tx:15.104  to cast it out though it was part of you. Who can perceive part of  himself as loathsome and live within himself in peace? And who can
Tx:15.104  you. Who can perceive part of himself as loathsome and live within  himself in peace? And who can try to resolve the perceived conflict
Tx:15.104  Heaven out and giving it the attributes of hell without experiencing  himself as incomplete and lonely?
Tx:15.105  And who can suffer sacrifice and loss without attempting to restore  himself? Yet how could you accomplish this yourselves when the basis
Tx:15.109  where He would be. And by your welcome does He welcome you into  Himself, for what is contained in you who welcome Him is returned to
Tx:17.1  He need not be forgiven, but awakened. In his dreams he has betrayed  himself, his brothers, and his God. Yet what is done in dreams has
Tx:17.9  forgiveness on it. And with this final blessing of God's Son upon  himself, the real perception, born of the new perspective he has
Tx:17.22  the Creator of the one relationship has left no part of it without  Himself.
Tx:17.52  with you. Think not your choice will leave you comfortless, for God  Himself has blessed your holy relationship. Join in His blessing, and
Tx:18.11  beholds it and rejoices that you have let it come to you. [And God  Himself is glad that your relationship is as it was created.] The
Tx:18.24  insanity. What you forgot was simply that God cannot destroy  Himself. The light is in you. Darkness can cover it but cannot put it
Tx:18.27  only in frightening yourselves. The gift is given forever, for God  Himself received it. You cannot take it back. You have accepted God.
Tx:18.31  with you to give the little spark of your desire the power of God  Himself, can you remain in darkness? You are coming home together
Tx:18.49  only this, and He did not depart from it nor leave it separate from  Himself. The Kingdom of Heaven is the dwelling-place of the Son of
Tx:18.50 What could God give but knowledge of  Himself? What else is there to give? The belief that you could give
Tx:18.57  barrier between God and His Son, nor can His Son be separated from  himself except in illusions. This is not his reality, though he
Tx:18.57  God would have had to create differently and to have separated  Himself from His Son to make this possible. He would have had to
Tx:18.57  cannot put a barrier around yourself because God placed none between  Himself and you.
Tx:18.58  experienced what he would call a sense of being transported beyond  himself. This feeling of liberation far exceeds the dream of freedom
Tx:18.63  means you still find sin attractive. No one accepts Atonement for  himself who still accepts sin as his goal. You have thus not met your
Tx:18.94  the messenger of love and not its Source. Here you are led that God  Himself can take the final step unhindered, for here does nothing
Tx:19.12  of God is seen already forgiven, free of all the guilt he laid upon  himself. Faith sees him only now because it looks not to the past to
Tx:19.14 In the holy instant, you stand before the altar God has raised unto  Himself and both of you. Lay faithlessness aside and come to it
Tx:19.18  is guilty and has thus succeeded in losing his innocence and making  himself what God created not. Thus is creation seen as not eternal,
Tx:19.18  illusion” underlying all the ego's grandiosity. For by it, God  Himself is changed and rendered incomplete.
Tx:19.19 The Son of God can be mistaken; he can deceive  himself; he can even turn the power of his mind against himself. But
Tx:19.19  can deceive himself; he can even turn the power of his mind against  himself. But he cannot sin. There is nothing he can do that would
Tx:19.23  sin is real—the natural expression of what the Son of God has made  himself to be and what he is. To the ego, this is no mistake. For
Tx:19.31  are not. If creation is extension, the Creator must have extended  Himself, and it is impossible that what is part of Him is totally
Tx:19.31  is totally unlike the rest. If sin is real, God must be at war with  Himself. He must be split and torn between good and evil—partly
Tx:19.32  of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than God, before which God  Himself must bow and offer His creation to its conqueror. Is this
Tx:19.39  What need is there for seeing then? When God has taken the last step  Himself, the Holy Spirit will gather all your thanks and gratitude
Tx:19.41  asked to let it go for yourselves alone. Christ asks it of you for  Himself. He would bring peace to everyone, and how can He do this
Tx:19.63  is your Father's Son. He has not lost communion with Him nor with  himself. When you agreed to join each other, you acknowledged this is
Tx:19.73  messages of hatred and attack if he but understood he sends them to  himself? Who would accuse, make guilty, and condemn himself?
Tx:19.73  he sends them to himself? Who would accuse, make guilty, and condemn  himself?
Tx:19.75  guilt is the escape from pain. Not one but must regard the body as  himself, without which he would die, and yet within which is his
Tx:19.80  death, in opposition to life and innocence and to the Will of God  Himself. Where can such opposition lie but in the sick minds of the
Tx:19.81  by its maker, and lamented by every mourner who looks upon it as  himself. You who believe you have condemned the Son of God to this
Tx:19.85  lay the Son of God, slain by its orders, proof in his decay that God  Himself is powerless before the ego's might, unable to protect the
Tx:19.86  nursed by angels, cherished by the Holy Spirit, and protected by God  Himself. It needs not your protection; it is yours. For it is
Tx:19.91  at last. For this dark veil, which seems to make the face of Christ  Himself like to a leper's and the bright rays of His Father's love
Tx:19.102  power to forgive your sins, as you for him. Neither can give it to  himself alone. And yet your savior stands beside each one. Let him be
Tx:19.107  as I look on you, and overlook the sins he thinks he sees within  himself. Offer each other freedom and complete release from sin here
Tx:20.1  a risen Christ becomes the symbol of the Son of God's forgiveness of  himself; the sign he looks upon himself as healed and whole.
Tx:20.1  of the Son of God's forgiveness of himself; the sign he looks upon  himself as healed and whole.
Tx:20.5  acceptance and delight acknowledges the lack of value he places on  himself.
Tx:20.7  and the giver. No one but sees in his chosen home an altar to  himself. No one but seeks to draw to it the worshipers of what he
Tx:20.11  has become the greatest power for the undoing of illusion that God  Himself could give. For what God gave the Holy Spirit, you have
Tx:20.26  my will for both of you and for each of you for one another and for  himself. Here there is only holiness and joining without limit. For
Tx:20.32  given, whose special function here is to release him and so to free  himself. In the world of separation, each is appointed separately,
Tx:20.37 In this world, God's Son comes closest to  himself in a holy relationship. There he begins to find the certainty
Tx:20.44  should offer it to him and know it rests in safety? He looks upon  himself not as his Father knows him. And yet it is impossible the
Tx:20.56  to choose to spend this instant paying tribute to the body or let  himself be given freedom from it. Here he can accept the holy
Tx:21.17  is the determiner of every situation in which he seems to find  himself by chance or accident. No accident nor chance is possible
Tx:21.21  that he has the power to make God powerless and so to take it for  himself and leave himself without what God has willed for him. This
Tx:21.21  power to make God powerless and so to take it for himself and leave  himself without what God has willed for him. This is the mad idea you
Tx:21.27  are like his Father's. Yet in creating them, the Son does not delude  himself that he is independent of his Source. His union with It is
Tx:21.33  the Son of God believe that he is powerless. Thus is he faithless to  himself, but strong in faith in his illusions about himself. For
Tx:21.33  he faithless to himself, but strong in faith in his illusions about  himself. For faith, perception, and belief you made as means for
Tx:21.60  as sinful and still perceive the other innocent. Who looks upon  himself as guilty and sees a sinless world? And who can see a sinful
Tx:21.60  sees a sinless world? And who can see a sinful world and look upon  himself apart from it? Sin would maintain you must be separate. But
Tx:21.61 No one can think but for  himself, as God thinks not without His Son. Only were both in bodies
Tx:21.65  because he must be one with you. You are responsible for how he sees  himself. And reason tells you it is given you to change his whole
Tx:21.69  reality. It but attests to it. Where could his freedom lie but in  himself if he be free already? And who could bind him but himself if
Tx:21.69  lie but in himself if he be free already? And who could bind him but  himself if he deny his freedom? God is not mocked; no more His Son
Tx:21.69  there is he held a prisoner, waiting in chains his pardon on  himself to set him free.
Tx:21.71  a sorry army, each one as likely to attack his brother or turn upon  himself as to remember they thought they had a common cause.
Tx:21.74  his helplessness and let sin tell him that his enemy must be  himself. But let him only ask himself these questions, which he must
Tx:21.74  sin tell him that his enemy must be himself. But let him only ask  himself these questions, which he must decide to have it done for him:
Tx:21.84  the Son of God's desire remains the proof that he is wrong who sees  himself as helpless. Desire what you will, and you will look on it
Tx:21.88  because desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one whom God  Himself will never fail to answer. God has already given him all that
Tx:22.1  perception, seen in the other yet believed by each to be within  himself. And each one seems to make a different error, and one the
Tx:22.2  the other has what he has not. They come together, each to complete  himself and rob the other. They stay until they think there's nothing
Tx:22.3  his completion, he would extend it by joining with another, whole as  himself. He sees no difference between these selves, for differences
Tx:22.15 Christ comes to what is like  Himself; the same, not different. For He is always drawn unto
Tx:22.15  like Himself; the same, not different. For He is always drawn unto  Himself. What is as like Him as a holy relationship? And what draws
Tx:22.24  it were possible the Son of God could leave his Father's Mind, make  himself different, and oppose His Will, would it be possible that the
Tx:22.27  that extends forever is your holy relationship, beloved of God  Himself. How still it rests, in time and yet beyond, immortal yet on
Tx:22.37  his sins. And so it must become impossible for each to see  himself as causing sin by his desire to have sin real. Yet reason
Tx:22.40  it nor you. You will become His messengers, returning Him unto  Himself.
Tx:22.44  it to offer this miracle to everyone! No one who has received it for  himself could find it difficult. For by receiving it, he learned it
Tx:22.56  bring you do not recognize, and yet you will remember. Who can deny  himself the vision that he brings to others? And who would fail to
Tx:22.56  who would fail to recognize a gift he let be laid in Heaven through  himself? The gentle service that you give the Holy Spirit is service
Tx:23.10  before your sight into the giver of your peace. Your “enemy” was God  Himself, to Whom all conflict, triumph, and attack of any kind are
Tx:23.11  yourself was undertaken to teach the Son of God that he is not  himself and not his Father's Son. For this, the memory of his Father
Tx:23.15  who are beloved of Him are no illusions, being as true and holy as  Himself.
Tx:23.20  are more valuable and therefore true. Each one establishes this for  himself and makes it true by his attack on what another values. And
Tx:23.22  What he has done is thus interpreted as an irrevocable sentence upon  himself, which God Himself is powerless to overcome. Sin cannot be
Tx:23.22  thus interpreted as an irrevocable sentence upon himself, which God  Himself is powerless to overcome. Sin cannot be remitted, being the
Tx:23.23  as sensible, made real by what the Son of God has done both to  himself and his Creator. The arrogance on which the laws of chaos
Tx:23.26  help that can succeed. Only destruction can be the outcome. And God  Himself seems to be siding with it to overcome His Son. Think not the
Tx:23.35  harm him and be saved. Who can find safety from attack by turning on  himself? How can it matter what the form this madness takes? It is a
Tx:23.52  on high but quickly choose a miracle instead of murder. And God  Himself and all the lights of Heaven will gently lean to you and hold
Tx:24.1  the universe secure? God does not wait upon illusions to let Him be  Himself. No more His Son. They are. And what illusion that idly seems
Tx:24.8  from one another. What you keep is lost to you. God gave you both  Himself, and to remember this is now the only purpose that you share.
Tx:24.10  For each demands the other bow to it against his will. And God  Himself must honor it or suffer vengeance. Every twinge of malice or
Tx:24.14  Him. His “special” sons are many, never one, each one in exile from  himself and Him of Whom they are a part. Nor do they love the Oneness
Tx:24.15  your ears to hear its soundless voice, and yet the Call of God  Himself is soundless to you.
Tx:24.17  all his specialness and all the sins he held in its defense against  himself will vanish as his mind accepts the truth about himself as it
Tx:24.17  against himself will vanish as his mind accepts the truth about  himself as it returns to take their place. This is the only “cost” of
Tx:24.21  savior from your specialness. He is in need of your acceptance of  himself as part of you, as you for his. You are alike to God as God
Tx:24.21  as part of you, as you for his. You are alike to God as God is to  Himself. He is not special, for He would not keep one part of what He
Tx:24.21  He is not special, for He would not keep one part of what He is unto  Himself, not given to His Son but kept for Him alone. And it is this
Tx:24.22 Give him but what he has, remembering God gave  Himself to both of you in equal love that both might share the
Tx:24.22  does him. God's love gave you to him and him to you because He gave  Himself. What is the same as God is one with Him. And only
Tx:24.26  but partly to forgive. No one who clings to one illusion can see  himself as sinless, for he holds one error to himself as lovely
Tx:24.26  one illusion can see himself as sinless, for he holds one error to  himself as lovely still. And so he calls it “unforgivable” and makes
Tx:24.26  then give his forgiveness wholly, when he would not receive it for  himself? For it is sure he would receive it wholly the instant that
Tx:24.26  gave it so. And thus his secret guilt would disappear, forgiven by  himself.
Tx:24.30  them and left behind. Salvation challenges not even death. And God  Himself, Who knows that death is not your will, must say, “Thy will
Tx:24.33  be free. Such is the Will of God and of His Son. Would God condemn  Himself to hell and to damnation? And do you will that this be done
Tx:24.33  out for your forgiveness. God asks your mercy on His Son and on  Himself. Deny them not. They ask of you but that your will be done.
Tx:24.40  in you is very still. He looks on what He loves and knows it as  Himself. And thus does He rejoice at what He sees because He knows
Tx:24.45  the fear you thought you saw within yourself. His holiness shows you  Himself in him whose hand you hold and whom you lead to Him. And what
Tx:24.46  your brother's in your own. Christ's hand holds all His brothers in  Himself. He gives them vision for their sightless eyes and sings to
Tx:24.47  in a war with love, consider this: the holy Lord of Heaven has  Himself come down to you to offer you your own completion. What is
Tx:24.48  walks beside you and before, leading the way that He must go to find  Himself complete. His quietness becomes your certainty. And where is
Tx:24.52  not there and all belief God's Son can suffer pain because he sees  himself as he is not.
Tx:24.55  a body? Where is your peace but in his holiness? And where is God  Himself but in that part of Him He set forever in your brother's
Tx:24.56  benediction unto you. His errors cannot withhold God's blessing from  himself nor you who see him truly. His mistakes can cause delay,
Tx:24.57  to you is done and he is risen from the past. He who condemned  himself, and you as well, is given you to save from condemnation
Tx:24.68  the Father must have a Son. Yet must this Son have been created like  Himself. A perfect being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed,
Tx:25.4  brother, as he to you. Here is the meeting of the holy Christ unto  Himself; nor are any differences perceived to stand between the
Tx:25.5  stand condemned. Set in his holiness, the Christ in him proclaims  himself as you.
Tx:25.7  His. His Life is manifest in you who are His Son. Each aspect of  Himself is framed in holiness and perfect purity, in love celestial
Tx:25.16  no frame, for what He has created He supports and frames within  Himself. His masterpiece He offers you to see. And would you rather
Tx:25.20  happiness complete and theirs along with His. The gratitude of God  Himself is freely offered to everyone who shares His purpose. It is
Tx:25.22 You are the same, as God  Himself is one and not divided in His Will. And you must have one
Tx:25.24  His Son believes it is, and from His Son's belief He could not let  Himself be separate entirely. He could not enter His Son's insanity
Tx:25.28  help is there, awaiting but his choice. And when he chooses to avail  himself of what is given him, then will he see each situation that he
Tx:25.31  think he can be hurt. What could this be except a misperception of  himself? Is this a sin or a mistake, forgivable or not? Does he need
Tx:25.40  it will give to each an equal strength to save the other and save  himself along with him. Forgiven by you, your savior offers you
Tx:25.42 Against the hatred that the Son of God may cherish toward  himself is God believed to be without the power to save what He
Tx:25.42  save what He created from the pain of hell. But in the love he shows  himself is God made free to let His Will be done. In each of you, you
Tx:25.43  evil, nothing in the world to fear, and no one who is different from  himself. And as he loves them, so he looks upon himself with love and
Tx:25.43  is different from himself. And as he loves them, so he looks upon  himself with love and gentleness. He would no more condemn himself
Tx:25.43  upon himself with love and gentleness. He would no more condemn  himself for his mistakes than damn another. He is not an arbiter of
Tx:25.43  vengeance nor a punisher of sin. The kindness of his sight rests on  himself with all the tenderness it offers others. For he would only
Tx:25.46  his special function and fulfills the part assigned to him to make  himself complete within a world where incompletion rules.
Tx:25.47  by this act of special faithfulness to one perceived as other than  himself, he learns the gift was given to himself, and so they must be
Tx:25.47  one perceived as other than himself, he learns the gift was given to  himself, and so they must be one. Forgiveness is the only function
Tx:25.48  part in time, for so he chose, and choosing it, he made it for  himself. His wish was not denied but changed in form to let it serve
Tx:25.48  was not denied but changed in form to let it serve his brother and  himself and thus become a means to save instead of lose. Salvation is
Tx:25.48  means for either, as he always did. The specialness he chose to hurt  himself did God appoint to be the means for his salvation from the
Tx:25.49  choice the Holy Spirit cannot employ on his behalf and not against  himself. Only in darkness does your specialness appear to be attack.
Tx:25.50  foundation sure as love, dependable as Heaven, and as strong as God  Himself. The world is safe from love to everyone who thinks sin
Tx:25.64  saved. You are not called upon to do what one divided still against  himself would find impossible. Have little faith that wisdom could be
Tx:25.72  at God's right hand and give the Son of God the power to forgive  himself of sin.

Tx:26.9 Condemn him not by seeing him within the rotting prison where he sees  himself. It is your special function to ensure the door be opened
Tx:26.9  to release the holy Son of God from the imprisonment he made to keep  himself from justice? Could your function be a task apart and
Tx:26.25  Forgiveness always rests upon the one who offers it until he sees  himself as needing it no more. And thus is he returned to his real
Tx:26.28  miracles to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of God  Himself comes to receive each gift that brings him nearer to his
Tx:26.36  no longer is. And who can stand upon a distant shore and dream  himself across an ocean to a place and time that have long since gone
Tx:26.36  he is elsewhere and in another time. In the extreme, he can delude  himself that this is true and pass from mere imagining into belief
Tx:26.52  becomes impatient, splits the world apart, and relegates attack unto  Himself. Thus has He lost His Mind, proclaiming sin has taken His

Tx:26.87  than that he be deprived of what he is, denied the right to be  himself, and asked to sacrifice his Father's love and yours as not
Tx:27.4  in its wake. The witness is believed because he points beyond  himself to what he represents. A sick and suffering you but
Tx:27.15  retains no trace of condemnation that he still would hold against  himself or any living thing.

Tx:27.44  upon another what he does not have? And who can share what he denies  himself? The Holy Spirit speaks to you. He does not speak to someone
Tx:27.56  otherwise he lies, if you should call him by the holy Name of God  Himself.
Tx:27.57  what you believe it holds within. Nor could it tell a part of God  Himself what it should feel and what its function is. Yet must He

Tx:27.62  the dreamer is unconscious of what brought on the attack against  himself, he sees himself attacked unjustly and by something not
Tx:27.62  unconscious of what brought on the attack against himself, he sees  himself attacked unjustly and by something not himself. He is the
Tx:27.62  himself, he sees himself attacked unjustly and by something not  himself. He is the victim of this “something else,” a thing outside
Tx:27.62  himself. He is the victim of this “something else,” a thing outside  himself for which he has no reason to be held responsible. He must be
Tx:27.62  what he does, but what is done to him. Yet is his own attack upon  himself apparent still, for it is he who bears the suffering. And he
Tx:27.62  suffering. And he cannot escape because its source is seen outside  himself.
Tx:27.65  Otherwise is the avenger's knife in his own hand and pointed to  himself. And he must see it in another's hand if he would be a victim
Tx:27.65  he suffers from the wounds a knife he does not hold has made upon  himself. This is the purpose of the world he sees. And looked at
Tx:27.68  is how all illusions come about. The one who makes them does not see  himself as making them, and their reality does not depend on him.
Tx:27.73  that he has lost his innocence, denied his Father, and made war upon  himself. So fearful is the dream, so seeming real, he could not waken
Tx:27.75  you in holy innocence. And from this dream, the Lord of Heaven will  Himself awaken His beloved Son. Dream of your brother's kindnesses
Tx:27.81  No one asleep and dreaming in the world remembers his attack upon  himself. No one believes there really was a time when he knew nothing
Tx:27.82  gave away unto the dreamer who perceives the dream as separate from  himself and done to him. Into eternity, where all is one, there crept
Tx:28.4 The Holy Spirit can indeed make use of memory, for God  Himself is there. Yet this is not a memory of past events, but only
Tx:28.12  For in that instant does the Son of God do nothing that would make  himself afraid.
Tx:28.15  an instant will suffice to reach beyond? For God has closed it with  Himself. His memory has not gone by and left a stranded Son forever
Tx:28.18 Always in sickness does the Son of God attempt to make  himself his cause and not allow himself to be his Father's Son. For
Tx:28.18  does the Son of God attempt to make himself his cause and not allow  himself to be his Father's Son. For this impossible desire, he does
Tx:28.21  dream is not awake but does not know he sleeps. He sees illusions of  himself as sick or well, depressed or happy, but without a stable
Tx:28.22  he was author of the dream, and not a figure in the dream. He gives  himself the consequences which he dreams he gave his brother. And it
Tx:28.23  since He was no longer their Creator. In the dream, the dreamer made  himself, but what he made has turned against him, taking on the role
Tx:28.33  room for Him Who wills to come and bridge His Son's returning to  Himself.
Tx:28.37  you share not his wish to separate and let him turn illusions on  himself. Nor do you wish that they be turned instead on you. Thus
Tx:28.39  you, your brother thinks he is a dream. Share not in his illusion of  himself, for your identity depends on his reality. Think rather of
Tx:28.44  instead of just a little broken bit which he insisted was  himself. And when he sees this picture, he will recognize himself. If
Tx:28.44  was himself. And when he sees this picture, he will recognize  himself. If you share not your brother's evil dream, this is the
Tx:28.44  the Father will receive His Son, because His Son was gracious to  himself.
Tx:28.57  you perceive yourself attacked. No one can suffer if he does not see  himself attacked and losing by attack. Unstated and unheard in
Tx:28.59  And what he substitutes is not his will, who has made promise of  himself to God.
Tx:28.60  either, who have promised to be one. God's promise is a promise to  Himself, and there is no one who could be untrue to what He wills as
Tx:28.60  as part of what He is. The promise that there is no gap between  Himself and what He is cannot be false. What will can come between
Tx:28.61  with all your brothers is a part of you because it is a part of God  Himself. Are you not sick if you deny yourself your wholeness and
Tx:28.66  of safety, resting on God's promise that His Son is safe forever in  Himself. What gap can interpose itself between the safety of this
Tx:29.21 Think you the Father lost  Himself when He created you? Was He made weak because He shared His
Tx:29.22  of light where God abides within the darkness, you will see that God  Himself is where his body is. Before this light the body disappears,
Tx:29.24  that have hidden him and shines on you in gratitude and love. He is  himself, but not himself alone. And as his Father lost not part of
Tx:29.24  him and shines on you in gratitude and love. He is himself, but not  himself alone. And as his Father lost not part of Him in your
Tx:29.35  him, created by his Father as His home? If God esteems him worthy of  Himself, would you attack him with the hands of hate? Who would lay
Tx:29.44  lingering illusion, or some dream that there is something outside of  himself that will bring happiness and peace to him. If everything is
Tx:29.44  cannot be so. And therefore by his coming, he denies the truth about  himself and seeks for something more than everything, as if a part of
Tx:29.44  body—that it seek for what he lacks and give him what would make  himself complete. And thus he wanders aimlessly about in search of
Tx:29.45  idol that he seeks is but his death. Its form appears to be outside  himself. Yet does he seek to kill God's Son within and prove that he
Tx:29.53  which you do not have. No one believes in idols who has not enslaved  himself to littleness and loss. And thus must seek beyond his little
Tx:29.60  thing as well. And thus is every living thing a part of you, as of  Himself. No idol can establish you as more than God. But you will
Tx:29.61 The slave of idols is a willing slave. For willing he must be to let  himself bow down in worship to what has no life and seek for power in
Tx:29.61  happened to the holy Son of God that this could be his wish—to let  himself fall lower than the stones upon the ground and look to idols
Tx:29.61  A dream of judgment came into the mind that God created perfect as  Himself. And in that dream was Heaven changed to hell, and God made
Tx:29.62  have need of idols which will hold the judgment off from resting on  himself. Nor can he know the Self he has condemned. Judge not,
Tx:29.63  justice that who judges him will not escape the penalty he laid upon  himself within the dream he made. God knows of justice, not of
Tx:29.65  Yet do they keep his thoughts alive and real but seen outside  himself, where they can turn against him for his treachery to them.
Tx:29.65  And so he makes of anything a toy to make his world remain outside  himself, and play that he is but a part of it.
Tx:30.34  not free. And would God leave His Son without what he has chosen for  himself? God but ensured that you would never lose your will when He
Tx:30.35  not your will that it be bound. What lies in you has joined with God  Himself in all creation's birth. Remember He Who has created you and
Tx:30.36  merely waits your blessing to be free? If you be prisoner, then God  Himself could not be free. For what is done to him whom God so loves
Tx:30.36  be free. For what is done to him whom God so loves is done to God  Himself. Think not He wills to bind you, Who has made you co-creator
Tx:30.42  him, he would not be as God created him. What idol can he need to be  himself? For can he give a part of him away? What is not whole cannot
Tx:30.48  still; the sky has never changed. But you, the holy Son of God  Himself, are unaware of your reality.
Tx:30.56  could God's plan for his salvation be, except a means to give him to  Himself?
Tx:30.59  beyond forgiveness, and he but remains until it is made perfect in  himself. He has no wish for anything but this. And fear has dropped
Tx:30.59  And fear has dropped away because he is united in his purpose with  himself. There is a hope of happiness in him so sure and constant he
Tx:30.60  is forgiveness, not idolatry. And so is Heaven's Son prepared to be  himself, and to remember that the Son of God knows everything his
Tx:30.73  God the sure result of seeing pardon as unmerited. No one who sees  himself as guilty can avoid the fear of God. But he is saved from
Tx:31.4  powerful enough to render God forgotten and His Son an alien to  himself, in exile from the home where God Himself established him.
Tx:31.4  and His Son an alien to himself, in exile from the home where God  Himself established him. You who have taught yourselves the Son of
Tx:31.13  does not respond. Who could be hurt in such a war unless he hurts  himself? He has no enemy in truth. And can he be assailed by dreams?
Tx:31.46  harshly with defenseless innocence? No one who makes a picture of  himself omits this face, for he has need of it. The other side he
Tx:31.56  And everyone believes that he must find the answer to the riddle of  himself. Salvation can be seen as nothing more than the escape from
Tx:31.65  you look upon nor what you choose to feel or think or wish. For God  Himself has said, “Your will be done.” And it is done to you
Tx:31.68  the “good” are innocent. And no one here but holds a concept of  himself in which he counts the “good” to pardon him the “bad.” Nor
Tx:31.75  this he learns when first he looks upon one brother as he looks upon  himself and sees the mirror of himself in him. Thus is the concept of
Tx:31.75  upon one brother as he looks upon himself and sees the mirror of  himself in him. Thus is the concept of himself laid by, for nothing
Tx:31.75  and sees the mirror of himself in him. Thus is the concept of  himself laid by, for nothing stands between his sight and what he
Tx:31.77  torment? Who has learned to see his brother not as this has saved  himself, and thus is he a savior to the rest. To everyone has God
Tx:31.78  upon and sees his own salvation everywhere. He holds no concept of  himself between his calm and open eyes and what he sees. He brings
Tx:31.88 The images you make can not prevail against what God  Himself would have you be. Be never fearful of temptation then, but
W1:35.1  for anyone who thinks he is in this world to believe this of  himself. Yet the reason he thinks he is in this world is because he
W1:38.5  cannot do. In the situation involving ______ in which _____ sees  himself, there is nothing my holiness cannot do.
W1:43.2  means by which the Son of God forgives his brother and thus forgives  himself.
W1:58.4  about me. In the presence of my holiness, which I share with God  Himself, all idols vanish.
W1:64.3  to regard yourself as unworthy of the task assigned to you by God  Himself.
W1:66.12  rests. We can share in this conclusion, but in no other. For God  Himself shares it with us.
W1:67.4 Any attribute which is in accord with God as He defines  Himself is appropriate for use. We are trying today to undo your
W1:67.4  are also trying to emphasize that you are part of His definition of  Himself.
W1:68.2  you have become, for no one can conceive of his Creator as unlike  himself.
W1:68.4  God in their own image as it is certain that God created them like  Himself and defined them as part of Him. It is as sure that those who
W1:69.7  determination call on the power of the universe to help you, and God  Himself will raise you from darkness into light. You are in accord
W1:72.5  for salvation be? What could it be but death? In trying to present  Himself as the Author of life and not of death, He is a liar and a
W1:72.15  them of the infinite Creator of infinity, Who created you like  Himself:
W1:73.3  is the will of Both together. Would God create a world that kills  Himself?
W1:78.8  us. We ask Him in the holy Name of God and of His Son, as holy as  Himself:
W1:94.6  to yourself and wait in silent expectancy for the truth. God has  Himself promised that it will be revealed to all who ask for it. You
W1:95.18  your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God  Himself, sinless as its Creator, with His strength within you and His
W1:97.2  Father's love and peace and joy. You are the Spirit which completes  Himself and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as
W1:100.3  the world cannot be saved. While you are sad, the light which God  Himself appointed as the means to save the world is dim and
W1:100.10  goal can keep you from success when He Who calls to you is God  Himself? He will be there. You are essential to His plan. You are His
W1:102.7  less loving to God's Son than He Whose Love created him as loving as  Himself. Besides these hourly five minute rests, pause frequently
W1:105.6 Today accept God's peace and joy as yours. Let Him complete  Himself as He defines completion. You will understand that what
W1:109.2  is the thought in which the Son of God is born again, to recognize  himself.
W1:110.8  try to discover in your mind the Self Who is the holy Son of God  Himself. Seek Him within you Who is Christ in you, the Son of God and
W1:112.3  me. I will remain forever as I was, Created by the Changeless like  Himself. And I am one with Him, and He with me.
W1:123.3  well that you are changeless, for the Son He loves is changeless as  Himself. Be grateful you are saved. Be glad you have a function in
W1:124.1  the universe, we go our way rejoicing, with the thought that God  Himself goes everywhere with us.
W1:125.2  it, for God's plan is simply this: the Son of God is free to save  himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide, forever in his mind
W1:125.5  you return your mind to Him to give His Word to you. He has not hid  Himself from you while you have wandered off a little while from Him.
W1:127.4  are and what love is. Love's meaning is your own, and shared by God  Himself. For what you are is what He is. There is no love but His,
W1:127.4  what He is, is everything there is. There is no limit placed upon  Himself, and so are you unlimited as well.
W1:127.8 Call to your Father, certain that His Voice will answer. He  Himself has promised this. And He Himself will place a spark of truth
W1:127.8  that His Voice will answer. He Himself has promised this. And He  Himself will place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you
W1:129.4  and plain as day, remains unlimited for all eternity. And God  Himself speaks to His Son as His Son speaks to Him. Their language
W1:131.5  God's Son cannot seek vainly, though he try to force delay, deceive  himself, and think that it is hell he seeks. When he is wrong, he
W1:131.9  split in two. How could it be His Son could be in hell when God  Himself established him in Heaven? Could he lose what the Eternal
W1:131.10  Son of God make time to take away the Will of God? He thus denies  himself and contradicts what has no opposite. He thinks he made a
W1:132.7  is ready to accept it, and each one must go as far as he can let  himself be led along the road to truth. He will return and go still
W1:132.13  with you who are His Son, for He makes no distinctions in what is  Himself and what is still Himself. What He creates is not apart from
W1:132.13  for He makes no distinctions in what is Himself and what is still  Himself. What He creates is not apart from Him, and nowhere does the
W1:132.14  made to separate the Father and the Son and break away a part of God  Himself and thus destroy His wholeness. Can a world which comes from
W1:133.11  tarnished as his own—the rust a sign of deep unworthiness within  himself. He who would still preserve the ego's goals and serve them
W1:134.10  meaningful and keep your mind as free of guilt and pain as God  Himself intended it to be and as it is in truth. It is but lies which
W1:134.12 He does not have to fight to save  himself. He does not have to kill the dragons which he thought
W1:134.22 No one is crucified alone, and yet no one can enter Heaven by  himself.
W1:135.1 Who would defend  himself unless he thought he was attacked, that the attack is real,
W1:135.1  attacked, that the attack is real, and that his own defense can save  himself? And herein lies the folly of defense—it gives illusions
W1:135.27  value when you have received your function from the Voice of God  Himself?
W1:139.2  who could ask this question except one who has refused to recognize  himself? Only refusal to accept yourself could make the question seem
W1:139.3  he question? Who can answer him? He merely states that he is not  himself and therefore, being something else, becomes a questioner of

W1:R4.4  gave creation to the Son, establishing the Son as co-creator with  Himself. It is this thought which fully guarantees salvation to the
W1:R4.9  to Him. So will communion with the Lord of Hosts be yours, as He  Himself has willed it be. And as His own completion joins with Him,
W1:151.3  more real than what is witnessed to by the eternal Voice of God  Himself.
W1:151.8  great that doubt is meaningless before Its face. Christ cannot doubt  Himself. The Voice of God can only honor Him, rejoicing in His
W1:152.10  true humility instead to Him Who has created us immaculate, like to  Himself in power and in love. The power of decision is our own. And
W1:152.14  up all self-deceptions as we humbly ask our Self that He reveal  Himself to us. And He Who never left will come again to our
W1:154.12  miracles and then receive a thousand more but will not know that God  Himself has left no gift beyond what you already have nor has denied
W1:155.8  It is but from illusions he is saved. As they step back, he finds  himself again.
W1:155.10  nothing left to keep the truth apart from God's completion, holy as  Himself. Step back in faith, and let truth lead the way. You know not
W1:156.3  His remains unshared by everything that lives. What lives is holy as  Himself because what shares His life is part of Holiness and could no
W1:156.6  perhaps, but who would waste an instant in approach to God  Himself for such a senseless whim?
W1:159.4  the sinless are as one. Their holiness was given by His Father and  Himself.
W1:160.1  but a madman could believe he is what he is not and judge against  himself?
W1:160.3  your place and let you be a stranger to yourself? No one would let  himself be dispossessed so needlessly unless he thought there was
W1:160.5 How simply, then, the question is resolved. Who fears has but denied  himself and said, “I am the stranger here. And so I leave my home to
W1:160.5  knowing who he is, uncertain of all things but this—that he is not  himself and that his home has been denied to him.
W1:160.6 What does he search for now? What can he find? A stranger to  himself can find no home wherever he may look, for he has made return

W1:163.4  down to idols such as this? Here is the strength and might of God  Himself perceived within an idol made of dust. Here is the opposite
W1:166.2  solid, trustworthy, and true believes in two creators or in one,  himself alone. But never in one God.
W1:166.3  to claim them as his own, is being pressed to treachery against  himself. He must deny their presence, contradict the truth, and
W1:166.12  thing more you had forgotten. For His touch on you has made you like  Himself. The gifts you have are not for you alone. What He has come
W1:167.10  we imagine it. Who changes life because he shuts his eyes or makes  himself what he is not because he sleeps and sees in dreams an
W1:167.10  an instant where the thought of life eternal has been set by God  Himself.
W1:168.3  which God leans to us and lifts us up, taking salvation's final step  Himself. All steps but this we learn, instructed by His Voice. But
W1:168.3  but this we learn, instructed by His Voice. But finally He comes  Himself and takes us in His arms and sweeps away the cobwebs of our

W1:185.2  words and not be healed. He cannot play with dreams nor think he is  himself a dream. He cannot make a hell and think it real. He wants
W1:185.11  peace of God can fail to find it. For he merely asks that he deceive  himself no longer by denying to himself what is God's Will. Who can
W1:185.11  For he merely asks that he deceive himself no longer by denying to  himself what is God's Will. Who can remain unsatisfied who asks for

W1:188.5 The peace of God can never be contained. Who recognizes it within  himself must give it. And the means for giving it are in his
W1:188.6  worldly things outside yourself, become the holy messengers of God  Himself. These thoughts you think with Him. They recognize their
W1:190.3  denied, confused with fear, perceived as mad, and seen as traitor to  Himself. If God is real, there is no pain. If pain is real, there is
W1:191.6  thought like this, and you are free: you are the holy Son of God  Himself. And with this holy thought, you learn as well that you have
W1:191.8 I am the holy Son of God  Himself. I cannot suffer, cannot be in pain; I cannot lose, nor can I

Tx:10.36  you cannot bar the door which Christ holds open. Come unto me who  holds it open for you, for while I live it cannot be shut, and I live
Tx:11.36  simply as, “Seek and do not find.” This is the one promise the ego  holds out to you and the one promise it will keep. For the ego

Tx:12.3 The darkest of your hidden cornerstones  holds your belief in guilt from your awareness. For in that dark and

Tx:12.71  However holy his perception may become, no world outside himself  holds his inheritance. Within himself he has no needs, for light
Tx:13.43  the darkest nightmare that disturbed the Mind of God's sleeping Son  holds no power over him. He will learn the lesson of awaking. God
Tx:13.62  is true. What else could ever be or ever was? This simple lesson  holds the key to the dark door which you believe is locked forever.
Tx:14.6  you. His gentleness is yours, and all the love you share with God He  holds in trust for you. He would teach you nothing except how to be
Tx:14.21  strange and twisted effort to communicate through not communicating  holds enough of love to make it meaningful if its interpreter is not

Tx:14.56  you both his love and need for love. Neither his mind nor yours  holds more than these two orders of thought.
Tx:14.57  forever, will bless each recognition of His Son with all the love He  holds for him. Nor will the power of all His love be absent from any
Tx:14.60  influence determines the present by giving it whatever meaning it  holds for you. Your learning gives the present no meaning at all.
Tx:15.16  is in time but not for time. Being in you, it is eternal. What  holds remembrance of God cannot be bound by time. No more are you.
Tx:15.35  cannot bring it into glad awareness while you do not want it, for it  holds the whole release from littleness.
Tx:15.42  to recognize perfect communication while breaking communication  holds value to you. Ask yourselves honestly, “Would I want to have
Tx:15.68  you are host to it, it will enable you to direct the anger that it  holds outward, thus protecting you. And thus it embarks on an
Tx:15.71  attack without forgiveness that the ego can ensure the guilt which  holds all its relationships together.
Tx:15.72  it evaluates ideas as good or bad. What makes another guilty and  holds him through guilt is “good.” What releases him from guilt is
Tx:15.77  it evident that it is not impossible. In the holy instant, guilt  holds no attraction, since communication has been restored. And
Tx:15.106  to keep that has no meaning, while all that you would keep away  holds all the meaning of the universe and holds the universe together
Tx:15.106  that you would keep away holds all the meaning of the universe and  holds the universe together in its meaning. For unless the universe
Tx:16.26  in conflict. What is beyond God? If you who hold Him and whom He  holds are the universe, all else must be outside, where nothing is.
Tx:16.51  of hell lies only in the terrible attraction of guilt, which the ego  holds out to those who place their faith in littleness. The

Tx:16.72  to act out its hate are fantasies of your destruction. For the ego  holds the past against you, and in your escape from the past, it sees
Tx:16.78  Their reality has no past, and only illusions can be forgiven. God  holds nothing against anyone, for He is incapable of illusions of any
Tx:17.30  it and by His blessing enabled it to be healed. This blessing  holds within itself the truth about everything. And the truth is that
Tx:18.12  this world and through another to the loveliness and joy the other  holds within it. Would you still further weaken and break apart what
Tx:18.62  with your desire for it is the irresistible appeal the holy instant  holds. It calls to you to be yourself within its safe embrace. There
Tx:19.51 The fierce attraction which guilt  holds for fear is wholly absent from love's gentle perception. What
Tx:19.59  of your desire to get rid of it. Where the attraction of guilt  holds sway, peace is not wanted. The second obstacle that peace must
Tx:19.87  is in full communication with God and you. In its tiny hands, it  holds in perfect safety every miracle you will perform, held out to
Tx:19.103  cast the veil of sin upon Him to hide His loveliness. Yet still He  holds forgiveness out to you to share His holiness. This “enemy,”
Tx:20.69  and give you joy. And place no value on your brother's body, which  holds him to illusions of what he is. It is his desire to see his
Tx:20.75  is the projection which gives the “nothing” all the meaning that it  holds.
Tx:21.66  from reason. What madness would conceal, the Holy Spirit still  holds out for everyone to look upon with gladness.
Tx:21.88  it. For no one fails to ask for his desire of something he believes  holds out some promise of the power of giving it. He may be wrong in
Tx:22.19  is faith in sin if the belief excludes one living thing and  holds it out apart from its forgiveness.
Tx:22.21  to the ego this must be impossible, and no one undertakes to do what  holds no hope of ever being done. You know what your Creator wills is
Tx:22.47  nothing. In truth you stand together with nothing in between. God  holds your hands, and what can separate whom He has joined as one
Tx:23.12  made them is insane, and they remain part of what made them. Madness  holds out no menace to reality and has no influence upon it.
Tx:23.30  is for? And here a final principle of chaos comes to the rescue. It  holds there is a substitute for love. This is the “magic” that will
Tx:24.1  it is His Will. Can you believe a shadow can hold back the Will that  holds the universe secure? God does not wait upon illusions to let
Tx:24.23  love's substitute and serve it faithfully. And no relationship that  holds its purpose dear but clings to murder as safety's weapon and
Tx:24.26  No one who clings to one illusion can see himself as sinless, for he  holds one error to himself as lovely still. And so he calls it
Tx:24.33  both from hell. Look on the print of nails upon his hands that he  holds out for your forgiveness. God asks your mercy on His Son and on
Tx:24.42  the sights He sees, the sounds He hears. How beautiful His hand that  holds His brother's, and how lovingly He walks beside him, showing
Tx:24.44  because they serve a different purpose, the strength their purpose  holds is given them. And what they see and hear and hold and lead is
Tx:24.46  love is in you now and safely held in you by that same hand that  holds your brother's in your own. Christ's hand holds all His
Tx:24.46  that same hand that holds your brother's in your own. Christ's hand  holds all His brothers in Himself. He gives them vision for their
Tx:24.58  him not as prisoner to them. It cannot be what governs part of God  holds not for all the rest. You place yourself under the laws you see
Tx:25.16  that God has set within this frame is all there is to see. The body  holds it for a while without obscuring it in any way. Yet what God
Tx:25.79  given to God's Son are kept for him and offered anyone who but  holds out his hand in willingness they be received. Nor is the
Tx:26.42  day and every minute in each day and every instant that each minute  holds, you but relive the single instant when the time of terror was
Tx:26.56  be true? What can remain unhealed and broken from a Unity Which  holds all things within Itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is
Tx:27.15  as well. For no one in whom true forgiveness reigns can suffer. He  holds not the proof of sin before his brother's eyes. And thus he
Tx:27.43  has been barred. But bring the problem to the only place which  holds the answer lovingly for you. Here are the answers which will
Tx:27.56 This body, purposeless within itself,  holds all your memories and all your hopes. You use its eyes to see,
Tx:27.57  knows it is not real. For nothing could contain what you believe it  holds within. Nor could it tell a part of God Himself what it should
Tx:28.4  a present state. You are so long accustomed to believe that memory  holds only what is past that it is hard for you to realize it is a
Tx:28.5  a means to keep the past, but rather as a way to let it go. Memory  holds the message it receives and does what it is given it to do. It
Tx:28.16  no end. Its starting and its ending are the same. But in itself it  holds the universe of all creation, without beginning and without an
Tx:28.19  what you wanted shown to you. An empty storehouse with an open door  holds all your shreds of memories and dreams. Yet if you are the
Tx:28.31  and love was never in the world of dreams. The gap is little. Yet it  holds the seeds of pestilence and every form of ill because it is a
Tx:29.14  now can do could not be done without the love and grace His Presence  holds.
Tx:29.35  on Heaven itself and hope to find its peace? Your brother thinks he  holds the hand of death. Believe him not. But learn instead how
Tx:30.42  content you not, but in the whole completely lovely Thought God  holds of you.
Tx:30.44  it. It was always there, but you were unaware of it. The Thought God  holds of you is perfectly unchanged by your forgetting. It will
Tx:30.45  not birth. They wait for welcome and remembering. The Thought God  holds of you is like a star, unchangeable in an eternal sky. So high
Tx:30.46  knows the Father knows this light, for He is the eternal sky which  holds it safe, forever lifted up, and anchored sure. Its perfect
Tx:30.46  whether it is seen on earth or not. The sky embraces it and softly  holds it in its perfect place, which is as far from earth as earth
Tx:30.47 Beyond all idols is the Thought God  holds of you. Completely unaffected by the turmoil and the terror of
Tx:30.47  of forms that fear can take; quite undisturbed, the Thought God  holds of you remains exactly as it always was. Surrounded by a
Tx:30.47  changelessness and of its rest in its eternal home, the Thought God  holds of you has never left the mind of its Creator Whom it knows, as
Tx:30.48 Where could the Thought God  holds of you exist but where you are? Is your reality a thing apart
Tx:30.48  Nor can you be aware of more than one. An idol or the Thought God  holds of you is your reality. Forget not, then, that idols must keep
Tx:31.23  but his call for mercy and release from all the fearful images he  holds of what he is and of what you must be. He is afraid to walk
Tx:31.25  the journey is and how it must be made. For next to you is One Who  holds the light before you so that every step is made in certainty
Tx:31.29  that the mind need serve nor sets conditions that it must obey. It  holds in prison but the willing mind that would abide in it. It
Tx:31.68  are the guilty “bad;” the “good” are innocent. And no one here but  holds a concept of himself in which he counts the “good” to pardon
Tx:31.76  you and your brother, kept apart by an illusion of yourself which  holds him off from you and you away from him. The sword of judgment
Tx:31.76  to the illusion of yourself that it may fight to keep the space that  holds your brother off unoccupied by love. Yet while you hold this
Tx:31.76  yourself, for you are bound to separation from the sight of him who  holds the mirror to another view of what he is and thus what you must
Tx:31.78  in all he looks upon and sees his own salvation everywhere. He  holds no concept of himself between his calm and open eyes and what
Tx:31.80  by old concepts and prepared to look on only what the present  holds. It cannot judge because it does not know. And recognizing
W1:22.1 Today's idea accurately describes the way anyone who  holds attack thoughts in his mind must see the world. Having
W1:23.4  where is the world you see when its cause is gone? Vision already  holds a replacement for everything you think you see now. Loveliness
W1:45.1 Today's idea  holds the key to what your real thoughts are. They are nothing that
W1:53.4  offers no grounds for trust. Nothing in madness is dependable. It  holds out no safety and no hope. But such a world is not real. I have
W1:56.4 [28] Above all else I want to see differently. The world I see  holds my fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance.
W1:57.2  prison door is open. I can leave it simply by walking out. Nothing  holds me in this world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a prisoner. I
W1:68.3  Can all this arise from holding grievances? Oh, yes! For he who  holds grievances denies he was created by Love, and his Creator has
W1:68.10 Love  holds no grievances. When I let all my grievances go, I will know I
W1:68.12 Love  holds no grievances. Let me not betray my Self.
W1:68.14 Love  holds no grievances. I would wake to my Self by laying all my
W1:76.5  it is the victim of itself. The body's suffering is a mask the mind  holds up to hide what really suffers. It would not understand it is
W1:84.5 [68] Love  holds no grievances. Grievances are completely alien to love.
W1:96.8  they remain within your mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy Spirit  holds salvation in your mind and offers it the way to peace.
W1:96.8  it was done. Thus is salvation kept among the thoughts your Self  holds dear and cherishes for you.
W1:99.5 The Holy Spirit  holds this plan of God exactly as it was received of Him within the
W1:106.3  to the truth. Go past all things which do not speak of Him Who  holds your happiness within His hand, held out to you in welcome and
W1:108.5  to all minds. For these are but some special cases of one law which  holds for every kind of learning if it be directed by the One Who
W1:122.11  the peace forgiveness offers and the joy the lifting of the veil  holds out to you.
W1:123.8 Receive His thanks, and you will understand how lovingly He  holds you in His Mind, how deep and limitless His care for you, how
W1:124.12 Add further jewels to the golden frame that  holds the mirror offered you today by hourly repeating to yourself:
W1:126.3  a true equality with you. He has no claim on your forgiveness. It  holds out a gift to him but hardly to yourself.
W1:127.3  everything as one, the link between the Father and the Son which  holds them both forever as the same.
W1:129.6  loss can be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This world  holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead you
W1:138.11  brought to what is real, is flimsy and transparent in the light. It  holds no terror now, for what was made enormous, vengeful, pitiless
W1:R4.3 My mind  holds only what I think with God.
W1:R4.6 And yet your mind  holds only what you think with God. Your self-deceptions cannot take
W1:R4.8 My mind  holds only what I think with God.
W1:153.11  fail to teach what you have learned, salvation waits and darkness  holds the world in grim imprisonment. Nor will you learn that light
W1:157.8  journey which you make and start today with the experience this day  holds out to you to be your own.
W1:164.9  unsatisfying goals? Let not today slip by without the gifts it  holds for you receiving your consent and your acceptance. We can
W1:164.9  you? Can His promise fail? Can you withhold so little when His Hand  holds out complete salvation to His Son?
W1:166.3 The gifts of God are not acceptable to anyone who  holds such strange beliefs. He must believe that, to accept God's
W1:166.12  you, you now must learn to give. This is the lesson that His giving  holds, for He has saved you from the solitude you sought to make in
W1:169.5  idea God is. And in His Being, He encompasses all things. No mind  holds anything but Him. We say “God is,” and then we cease to speak,
W1:169.7  in His Mind, accomplished and complete. He recognized all that time  holds and gave it to all minds that each one might determine from a
W1:182.9  only love's messages to those who think he is their enemy. He  holds the might of Heaven in His hand and calls them friend, and
W1:183.3  the world responds by laying down illusions. Every dream the world  holds dear has suddenly gone by, and where it seemed to stand you
W1:183.9  silently, and let His Name become the all-encompassing idea which  holds your mind completely. Let all thoughts be still except this
W1:183.11  and it is given you. No prayer but this is necessary, for it  holds them all within it. words are insignificant and all requests
W1:186.1  away from every mind. Here is the thought of true humility which  holds no function as your own but that which has been given you. It
W1:186.3  your Father still remembers you and offers you the perfect trust He  holds in you who are His Son. It does not ask that you be different
W1:190.9  and come without defense into the quiet place where Heaven's peace  holds all things still at last. Lay down all thoughts of danger and
W1:192.4  is the means by which the fear of death is overcome because it  holds no fierce attraction now, and guilt is gone.
W1:194.4 God  holds your future as He holds your past and present. They are one to

W1:198.12  unveiled at last in this one dream. This is the gift the Holy Spirit  holds for you from God your Father. Let today be celebrated both on
W1:199.3  dear. Be not concerned that to the ego it is quite insane. The ego  holds the body dear because it dwells in it and lives united with the
W2:222.1  safety from all pain. He covers me with kindness and with care and  holds in love the Son He shines upon, who also shines on Him. How
W2:WS.4  our final dream. It is a dream in which there is no sorrow, for it  holds a hint of all the glory given us by God. The grass is pushing
W2:241.1  joy there is today! It is a time of special celebration. For today  holds out the instant to the darkened world where its release is set.
W2:252.1  have ever looked upon. Its love is limitless, with an intensity that  holds all things within it in the calm of quiet certainty. Its
W2:264.1  that stands beyond Your one creation or without the Love Which  holds all things within Itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We
W2:WIRW.2 The real world  holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your world,
W2:293.2  the sounds of fear. There is a real world which the present  holds safe from all past mistakes. And I would see only this world
W2:330.1  images of pain? Why should we teach them they are powerless when God  holds out His power and His love and bids them take what is already
W2:332.2 We would not bind the world again today. Fear  holds it prisoner. And yet Your Love has given us the means to set it
W2:338.2  But the Thought You gave me promises to lead me home, because it  holds Your promise to Your Son.
W2:340.1  I was born into this world but to achieve this day and what it  holds in joy and freedom for Your holy Son and for the world he made,
M:13.8  world contains it not, but learn this course and it is yours. God  holds out His Word to you, for He has need of teachers. What other

M:22.2  God has given him long before he has learned all that his acceptance  holds out to him. It is only the end that is certain. Anywhere along
M:27.2  in dust and disappointment and despair could but be feared. He  holds your little life in his hand but by a thread, ready to break it
M:27.3  of the fear of God. His love is blotted out in the idea, which  holds it from awareness like a shield held to obscure the sun. The
M:27.3  of the symbol is enough to show it cannot co-exist with God. It  holds an image of the Son of God in which he is “laid to rest” in

W1:155.12 We walk to God. Pause and reflect on this. Could any way be  holier or more deserving of your effort, of your love, and of your
W1:183.1 God's Name is holy, but no  holier than yours. To call upon His Name is but to call upon your

holiness (310)

Tx:1.43 God's creations never lose their  holiness, although it can be hidden. The miracle uncovers it and
Tx:1.43  miracle uncovers it and brings it into the light where it belongs.  Holiness can never be really hidden in darkness, but man can deceive
Tx:1.44  miracles, which are really intercessions. They intercede for man's  holiness and make his perceptions holy. By placing him beyond the
Tx:1.60  on this point. God would be mocked if any of His creations lacked  holiness. The creation is whole, and the mark of wholeness is

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

Tx:1.78  yet is that I have nothing else. This leaves me in a state of true  holiness, which is only a potential in you.
Tx:1.83  It does this by the underlying recognition of perfect equality and  holiness between the doer and the receiver on which the miracle rests.
Tx:2.45  step is to realize that a temple is not a building at all. Its real  holiness lies in the inner altar around which the building is built.
Tx:11.59  knowledge because perception has become so holy that its transfer to  holiness is merely its natural extension. Love transfers to love

Tx:14.12  all tortured minds to join with you in the safety of its peace and  holiness. Abide with me within it as teachers of Atonement, not of
Tx:14.15  the blessing of Atonement, and bring him into it by blessing him.  Holiness must be shared, for therein lies everything that makes it
Tx:14.38  not make holy. You were created holy. It merely brings unholiness to  holiness, or what you made to what you are. The bringing together of
Tx:14.40  The temple still is holy, for the Presence that dwells within it is  Holiness.
Tx:14.41 In the temple  Holiness waits quietly for the return of them that love it. The

Tx:14.41  The Presence of Holiness lives in everything that lives, for  Holiness created life and leaves not what It created holy as Itself.

Tx:15.11 Time is inconceivable without change, yet  holiness does not change. Learn from this instant more than merely
Tx:15.13  to give it to your brothers on behalf of theirs. For the instant of  holiness is shared, and cannot be yours alone. Remember, then, when

Tx:15.15  beyond attack and without variability. Time stands still in his  holiness and changes not. And so it is no longer time at all. For,

Tx:15.29 In this season (Christmas), which celebrates the birth of  holiness into this world, join with me, who decided for holiness for
Tx:15.29  the birth of holiness into this world, join with me, who decided for  holiness for you. It is our task together to restore the awareness of
Tx:15.30  into nothingness. Holy Child of God, when will you learn that only  holiness can content you and give you peace?
Tx:15.31  to grandeur. Welcome me not into a manger but into the altar to  holiness, where holiness abides in perfect peace. My Kingdom is not

Tx:15.58 All separation vanishes as  holiness is shared. For holiness is power, and by sharing it, it
Tx:15.58 All separation vanishes as holiness is shared. For  holiness is power, and by sharing it, it gains in strength. If you

Tx:15.102  total to give Him welcome, for the Presence of Holiness creates the  holiness which surrounds it. No fear can touch the host who cradles
Tx:16.10 You still think  holiness is difficult because you cannot see how it can be extended
Tx:16.10  everyone to be holy. Concern yourselves not with the extension of  holiness, for the nature of miracles you do not understand. Nor do
Tx:16.17  will increase, and peace will grow with its increase. The power of  holiness and the weakness of attack have both been brought into
Tx:16.17  And this has been accomplished in minds firmly convinced that  holiness is weakness and attack is power. Should not this be a
Tx:16.38  your completion. Fear not to cross to the abode of peace and perfect  holiness. Only there is the completion of God and of His Son
Tx:16.67  for you have come too far to yield to the illusion of the beauty and  holiness of guilt. Only the wholly insane could look on death and
Tx:16.81  in which there are no illusions and where none can ever enter. Our  holiness is Yours. What can there be in us that needs forgiveness
Tx:17.16  relationship unholy. For unholiness seeks to reinforce itself, as  holiness does, by gathering to itself what it perceives as like
Tx:17.22  Whom God has joined as one, the ego cannot break apart. The spark of  holiness must be safe, however hidden it may be, in every

Tx:17.67  can be lacking in any situation. But remember this: the goal of  holiness was set for your relationship and not by you. You did not
Tx:17.67  set for your relationship and not by you. You did not set it because  holiness cannot be seen except through faith, and your relationship
Tx:17.69  faithlessness against each other. No relationship is holy unless its  holiness goes with it everywhere. As holiness and faith go hand in
Tx:17.69  relationship is holy unless its holiness goes with it everywhere. As  holiness and faith go hand in hand, so must its faith go everywhere
Tx:18.20  therein lay its misery. As its unholiness kept it a thing apart, its  holiness will become an offering to everyone.
Tx:18.27  received it. You cannot take it back. You have accepted God. The  holiness of your relationship is established in Heaven. You do not
Tx:18.35  yourself for Him. It is impossible to make arrogant preparations for  holiness and not believe that it is up to you to establish the
Tx:18.46 When you feel the  holiness of your relationship is threatened by anything, stop
Tx:18.84 You have been told to bring the darkness to the light and guilt to  holiness. And you have also been told that error must be corrected at
Tx:19.13  not recognize salvation in each other. Yet faith unites you in the  holiness you see, not through the body's eyes but in the sight of Him
Tx:19.20  arrogance, and the acceptance of the self as sinful is perceived as  holiness. And it is this doctrine which replaces the reality of the
Tx:19.38  with Him? For it is He Who offered your relationship the gift of  holiness, without which it would have been forever impossible to
Tx:19.103  loveliness. Yet still He holds forgiveness out to you to share His  holiness. This “enemy,” this “stranger” still offers you salvation as
Tx:19.105  offer thanks to God that he is holy and has been given the gift of  holiness for you. Join him in gladness and remove all trace of guilt
Tx:20.4  joy and not of mourning. Look on your risen Friend and celebrate his  holiness along with me. For Easter is the time of your salvation,
Tx:20.13  joy. We go beyond the veil of fear, lighting each other's way. The  holiness that leads us is within us, as is our home. So will we find
Tx:20.18  not afraid of it, for it is within the truth they recognized their  holiness and rejoiced at what they saw. They looked on it directly,
Tx:20.24  each other as the eternal gift of God to you? Did you see the  holiness that shone in both of you to bless the other? That is the
Tx:20.25  your freedom lies. He seemed to be crucified beside you. And yet his  holiness remained untouched and perfect, and with him beside you, you
Tx:20.26  for each of you for one another and for himself. Here there is only  holiness and joining without limit. For what is Heaven but union,
Tx:20.59  that follows the sudden change in a relationship from sin to  holiness should now be almost over. To the extent you still

Tx:20.61  Is this not perfectly consistent with the goal of holiness? For  holiness is merely the result of letting the effects of sin be lifted
Tx:20.61  always true is recognized. To see a sinless body is impossible, for  holiness is positive, and the body is merely neutral. It is not
Tx:20.75 Only two purposes are possible. And one is sin, the other  holiness. Nothing is in between, and which you choose determines what
Tx:20.77  come after? Think but an instant just on this—you can behold the  holiness God gave His Son. And never need you think that there is
Tx:21.2  disaster and catastrophe, you tried to crucify him. If you see  holiness and hope, you joined the Will of God to set him free. There
Tx:21.22 The Holy Spirit can give you faith in  holiness and vision to see it easily enough. But you have not left
Tx:21.31  opposite directions. What faith you give to sin you take away from  holiness. And what you offer holiness has been removed from sin.
Tx:21.31  you give to sin you take away from holiness. And what you offer  holiness has been removed from sin.
Tx:21.32 Faith and belief and vision are the means by which the goal of  holiness is reached. Through them the Holy Spirit leads you to the
Tx:21.34  is all you want to see. Then will you give your faith to  holiness, desiring and believing in it because of your desire.
Tx:21.35  as all the means that once served sin are redirected now toward  holiness. For what you think is sin is limitation, and whom you try
Tx:21.35  are dear to you. And so the body has your faith and your belief. But  holiness would set your brother free, removing hatred by removing
Tx:21.36  all limitations be removed. Desiring to look upon their brothers in  holiness, the power of belief and faith goes far beyond the body,
Tx:21.36  all who choose to look away from sin are given vision and are led to  holiness.
Tx:21.90  will never change. For you have asked that nothing stand between the  holiness of your relationship and your awareness of its holiness.
Tx:21.90  between the holiness of your relationship and your awareness of its  holiness.
Tx:22.2 The  holiness of your relationship forgives you both, undoing the effects
Tx:22.3  enough not to return to earth. For this relationship has Heaven's  holiness. How far from home can a relationship so like to Heaven be?
Tx:22.12  seeming new and yet as old as He, a tiny newcomer, dependent on the  holiness of your relationship to let Him live.
Tx:22.36 Let not the form of his mistakes keep you from him whose  holiness is yours. Let not the vision of his holiness, the sight of
Tx:22.36  keep you from him whose holiness is yours. Let not the vision of his  holiness, the sight of which would show you your forgiveness, be kept
Tx:22.36  with his body, which you believe can sin? Beyond his errors is his  holiness and your salvation. You gave him not his holiness but tried
Tx:22.36  his errors is his holiness and your salvation. You gave him not his  holiness but tried to see your sins in him to save yourself. And yet
Tx:22.36  but tried to see your sins in him to save yourself. And yet his  holiness is your forgiveness. Can you be saved by making sinful the
Tx:22.36  is your forgiveness. Can you be saved by making sinful the one whose  holiness is your salvation?
Tx:22.37 A holy relationship, however newly born, must value  holiness above all else. Unholy values will produce confusion, and in
Tx:24.10  made clean of special goals. And would you now defeat the goal of  holiness that Heaven gave it? What perspective can the special have
Tx:24.31  the great Creator of the universe, the Source of life, of love and  holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect Son, for your illusions of
Tx:24.45  God replaces all the fear you thought you saw within yourself. His  holiness shows you Himself in him whose hand you hold and whom you
Tx:24.46  out His hand that everyone may bless all living things and see their  holiness. And He rejoices that these sights are yours to look upon
Tx:24.47  you except he be as perfect as yourself and just as like to Him in  holiness as you must be?
Tx:24.49 Before your brother's  holiness the world is still and peace descends on it in gentleness
Tx:24.49  you that all your doubts about yourself may disappear before his  holiness. See in him God's creation. For in him, his Father waits for
Tx:24.50  not part of Him, and nothing is but is alive in Him. Your brother's  holiness shows you that God is one with him and you—that what he
Tx:24.53  both in hell. Yet will his perfect sinlessness release you both, for  holiness is quite impartial, with one judgment made for all it looks
Tx:24.54  no sight nor place nor time where He is not. Within your brother's  holiness, the perfect frame for your salvation and the world's, is
Tx:24.54  brother's body shows not Christ to you. He is set forth within his  holiness.
Tx:24.55 Choose, then, his body or his  holiness as what you want to see, and which you choose is yours to
Tx:24.55  your salvation if he is but a body? Where is your peace but in his  holiness? And where is God Himself but in that part of Him He set
Tx:24.55  God Himself but in that part of Him He set forever in your brother's  holiness that you might see the truth about yourself set forth at
Tx:24.56 Your brother's  holiness is sacrament and benediction unto you. His errors cannot
Tx:24.56  judgment you have laid on both of you. The Christ in you beholds his  holiness. Your specialness looks on his body and beholds him not.
Tx:24.58  in you can see your brother truly. Would you decide against the  holiness He sees?
Tx:24.61 You who believe it easier to see your brother's body than his  holiness, be sure you understand what made this judgment. Here is the
Tx:24.63  and your changelessness is recognized in its acknowledgment. The  holiness in you belongs to him. And by your seeing it in him, returns
Tx:24.64  claims you instead? How can you fail to know it is in his  holiness? Seek not to make your specialness the truth, for if it
Tx:24.64  be lost indeed. Be thankful, rather, it is given you to see his  holiness because it is the truth. And what is true in him must be as
Tx:24.65  is your condemnation of your own. Weave, rather then, a frame of  holiness around him that the truth may shine on him and give you
Tx:24.66  for nothing. Whatever is perceived as means for truth shares in its  holiness and rests in light as safely as itself. Nor will that light
Tx:25.1  be housed in death. No more can you. Christ is within a frame of  holiness whose only purpose is that He may be made manifest to those
Tx:25.1  were. Then will their bodies melt away that they may frame His  holiness in them.
Tx:25.2  Son of God abide exactly where he is and walks with him within his  holiness, as plain to see as is his specialness set forth within his
Tx:25.3  His purpose folds the body in His light and fills it with the  holiness that shines from Him. And nothing that the body says or does
Tx:25.4  means to do it. For the mind is His. And so it must be yours. His  holiness directs the body through the mind at one with Him. And you
Tx:25.4  are any differences perceived to stand between the aspects of His  holiness, which meet and join and raise Him to His Father, whole and
Tx:25.5 How can you manifest the Christ in you except you look on  holiness and see Him there? Perception tells you, you are manifest in
Tx:25.5  you will see your sinfulness wherein you stand condemned. Set in his  holiness, the Christ in him proclaims himself as you.
Tx:25.7  manifest in you who are His Son. Each aspect of Himself is framed in  holiness and perfect purity, in love celestial and so complete it
Tx:25.18  it, not in flesh and bones, but in a frame as lovely as Itself. Its  holiness lights up the sinlessness the frame of darkness hides and
Tx:25.18  of death. God kept it safe that you might look on it and see the  holiness that He has given it.
Tx:25.19  becomes your strength, and both will gladly look within and see the  holiness that must be there because of what you looked upon in him.
Tx:25.19  of what you looked upon in him. He is the frame in which your  holiness is set, and what God gave him must be given you. However
Tx:25.73  from him? For that would be injustice and unfair indeed to all the  holiness that is in him, however much he recognize it not. God knows
Tx:26.5  as Heaven itself. No instant passes here in which your brother's  holiness cannot be seen, to add a limitless supply to every meager
Tx:26.6  to witness to that you may see it and rejoice with him. Make not his  holiness a sacrifice to your belief in sin. You sacrifice your
Tx:26.7 Yet every instant can you be reborn and given life again. His  holiness gives life to you, who cannot die because his sinlessness is
Tx:26.79  of light. Because of Them. It is Their Presence which has lifted  holiness again to take its ancient place upon an ancient throne.
Tx:28.45  gap that lies between the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your  holiness, complete and perfect, lies in every one of them. And they
Tx:28.66  Son unto his home. And with this holy purpose is it made a home of  holiness a little while because it shares your Father's Will with you.
Tx:29.68  the song of Heaven can be heard, not with the ears, but with the  holiness which never left the altar which abides forever deep within
Tx:31.78  could you be the savior of the Son of God? How would you know his  holiness while you see him apart from yours? For holiness is seen
Tx:31.78  would you know his holiness while you see him apart from yours? For  holiness is seen through holy eyes that look upon the innocence
Tx:31.87  release your minds from everything that hides His face from you. His  holiness is yours because He is the only power that is real in you.
Tx:31.91  as natural as fear and agony appeared to be before the choice for  holiness was made. For in that choice are false distinctions gone,
W1:29.3  stands beyond your little range. When vision has shown you the  holiness that lights up the world, you will understand today's idea
W1:35.4  unreal because you do not look upon yourself through the eyes of  holiness.
W1:36.1  or a part of His Mind would be sinful. Your sight is related to His  holiness, not to your ego and therefore not to your body.

W1:37.1  why you are here. Your purpose is to see the world through your own  holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed together. No one loses;
W1:37.2  is his wholeness restored to his awareness through your vision. Your  holiness blesses him by asking nothing of him. Those who see
W1:37.3 Your  holiness is the salvation of the world. It lets you teach the world
W1:37.3  it anything, but merely by your quiet recognition that in your  holiness are all things blessed, along with you.

W1:38.1 Your  holiness reverses all the laws of the world. It is beyond every
W1:38.1  restriction of time, space, distance, and limits of any kind. Your  holiness is totally unlimited in its power because it establishes you
W1:38.1  as a Son of God, at one with the Mind of his Creator. Through your  holiness, the power of God is made manifest. Through your holiness
W1:38.1  your holiness, the power of God is made manifest. Through your  holiness the power of God is made available. And there is nothing the
W1:38.2 Your  holiness, then, can remove all pain, can end all sorrow, and can
W1:38.3 In today's exercises, we will apply the power of your  holiness to all problems, difficulties, or suffering in any form that
W1:38.5  involving ______ in which I see myself, there is nothing that my  holiness cannot do. In the situation involving ______ in which _____
W1:38.5  involving ______ in which _____ sees himself, there is nothing my  holiness cannot do.
W1:38.7 There is nothing my  holiness cannot do because the power of God lies in it.
W1:38.8  but keep the exercises focused on the theme “There is nothing my  holiness cannot do.” The purpose of today's exercises is to begin to
W1:39.3 We have already said that your  holiness is the salvation of the world. What about your own
W1:39.4 Your  holiness is the answer to every question that was ever asked, is
W1:39.4  ever asked, is being asked now, or will be asked in the future. Your  holiness means the end of guilt and therefore the end of hell. Your
W1:39.4  holiness means the end of guilt and therefore the end of hell. Your  holiness is the salvation of the world and your own. How could you to
W1:39.4  the salvation of the world and your own. How could you to whom your  holiness belongs be excluded from it? God does not know unholiness.

W1:41.3 You can never be deprived of your perfect  holiness because its Source goes with you wherever you go. You can

W1:45.12  idea, try to remember how important it is to you to understand the  holiness of the mind that thinks with God. Take a minute or two as
W1:45.12  as you repeat the idea throughout the day to appreciate your mind's  holiness. Stand aside, however briefly, from all thoughts that are
W1:57.6  my illusions about myself had kept hidden. I begin to understand the  holiness of all living things including myself, and their oneness
W1:58.2 [36] My  holiness envelops everything I see. From my holiness does the
W1:58.2 [36] My holiness envelops everything I see. From my  holiness does the perception of the real world come. Having forgiven,
W1:58.2  that is the truth about me. Seen through understanding eyes, the  holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only the
W1:58.3 [37] My  holiness blesses the world. The perception of my holiness does not
W1:58.3 [37] My holiness blesses the world. The perception of my  holiness does not bless me alone. Everyone and everything I see in

W1:58.4 [38] There is nothing my  holiness cannot do. My holiness is unlimited in its power to heal
W1:58.4 [38] There is nothing my holiness cannot do. My  holiness is unlimited in its power to heal because it is unlimited in
W1:58.4  And what are all illusions except false ideas about myself? My  holiness undoes them all by asserting the truth about me. In the
W1:58.4  them all by asserting the truth about me. In the presence of my  holiness, which I share with God Himself, all idols vanish.
W1:58.5 [39] My  holiness is my salvation. Since my holiness saves me from all guilt,
W1:58.5 [39] My holiness is my salvation. Since my  holiness saves me from all guilt, recognizing my holiness is

W1:121.12  Perceive him now as more than friend to you, for in that light his  holiness shows you your savior, saved and saving, healed and whole.
W1:124.2 How holy are our minds! And everything we see reflects the  holiness within the mind at one with God and with itself. How easily
W1:124.13  with God, at one with all my brothers and my Self, in everlasting  holiness and peace.

W1:140.5  in God and not in idle dreams. For cure must come from holiness, and  holiness cannot be found where sin is cherished. God abides in holy

W1:152.2  of joy? Can fear and sickness enter in a mind where love and perfect  holiness abide? Truth must be all-inclusive if it be the truth at
W1:156.3 Yet where He is there must be  holiness as well as life. No attribute of His remains unshared by
W1:156.3  lives is holy as Himself because what shares His life is part of  Holiness and could no more be sinful than the sun could choose to be
W1:156.5  The light you carry is their own, and thus they see in you their  holiness, saluting you as savior and as God. Accept their reverence,
W1:156.5  you as savior and as God. Accept their reverence, for it is due to  Holiness itself Which walks with you, transforming in Its gentle
W1:156.9 I walk with God in perfect  holiness. I light the world, I light my mind and all the minds which
W1:158.8  as the Son of God he is, acknowledging that he is one with you in  holiness.
W1:158.9  gone. Unseen by One, they merely disappear because a vision of the  holiness which lies beyond them comes to take their place. It matters
W1:158.11  is reflected in a way so accurate its image shares its unseen  holiness; its likeness shines with its immortal love. We practice
W1:159.4  no sin in anyone, and in His sight the sinless are as one. Their  holiness was given by His Father and Himself.
W1:159.5  forgot, and never able to obscure the light that shines beyond them.  Holiness has been restored to vision, and the blind can see.
W1:162.5 We honor you today. Yours is the right to perfect  holiness you now accept. With this acceptance is salvation brought to
W1:162.5  is salvation brought to everyone, for who could cherish sin when  holiness like this has blessed the world? Who could despair when
W1:162.6  heart with loving invitation, eager to unite with one like him in  holiness? You are as God created you. These words dispel the night,
W1:164.4  peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. There is a sense of  holiness in you the thought of sin has never touched. All this today
W1:164.7  from misery. All that we see will but increase our joy because its  holiness reflects our own. We stand forgiven in the sight of Christ,
W1:167.12  For the wakened mind is one that knows its Source, its Self, its  holiness.
W1:170.14  Your glory, and in them we find our peace. Holy are we because Your  holiness has set us free. And we give thanks. Amen.
W1:173.3 [156] I walk with God in perfect  holiness. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:182.4  endure forever. Where this Child shall go is holy ground. It is His  holiness that lights up Heaven and that brings to earth the pure

W1:186.4  be certain only that He knows our strengths, our wisdom, and our  holiness. And if He deems us worthy, so we are. It is but arrogance
W1:186.6  for God assures you that you have the strength, the wisdom, and the  holiness to go beyond all images. You are not weak, as is the image
W1:187.9  you offer him beside them. Who could fear to look upon such lovely  holiness? The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to
W1:187.11  it a home for Innocence Itself, Who dwells in us and offers us His  holiness as ours.
W1:188.8  of strange desires and disordered wishes. We restore to them the  holiness of their inheritance.

W1:190.9  put aside the withering assaults with which you seek to hide your  holiness. Here will you understand there is no pain. Here does the

W1:191.12  he made. In error it began. But it will end in the reflection of his  holiness. And we will sleep no more and dream of death. Then join
W1:192.6  Son. Only forgiveness can persuade the Son to look again upon his  holiness. With anger gone, you will indeed perceive that for Christ's
W1:194.5  all his glory shines upon a world made free with him to share his  holiness.
W1:198.14 There is no condemnation in him. He is perfect in his  holiness. He needs no thoughts of mercy. Who could give him gifts
W2:227.2  Son of God this day comes home again, released from sin and clad in  holiness, with his right mind restored to him at last.
W2:228.1 My Father knows my  holiness. Shall I deny His knowledge and believe in what His
W2:228.2  came. I have not left that Source to enter in a body and to die. My  holiness remains a part of me, as I am part of You. And my mistakes
W2:235.2 Father, Your  holiness is mine. Your Love created me and made my sinlessness
W2:238.1  I must be beloved of You indeed. And I must be steadfast in  holiness as well, that You would give Your Son to me in certainty
W2:240.2  free. Let us forgive him in Your Name, that we may understand his  holiness and feel the love for him that is Your own as well.
W2:252.1 My Self is holy beyond all the thoughts of  holiness of which I now conceive. Its shimmering and perfect purity
W2:256.1  And who would yet remain asleep in heavy clouds of doubt about the  holiness of him whom God created sinless? Here we can but dream. But
W2:264.1  There is no Source but This, and nothing is that does not share Its  holiness, that stands beyond Your one creation or without the Love
W2:283.1  unchangeable. Let me not worship idols. I am He my Father loves. His  holiness remains the light of Heaven and the Love of God. Is not what
W2:285.1  by me. And I will ask for only joyous things the instant I accept my  holiness. For what would be the use of pain to me, what purpose would
W2:285.1  and loss avail me, if insanity departs from me today and I accept my  holiness instead?
W2:285.2 Father, my  holiness is Yours. Let me rejoice in it and through forgiveness be
W2:285.2  be restored to sanity. Your Son is still as You created him. My  holiness is part of me and also part of You. And what can alter
W2:285.2  My holiness is part of me and also part of You. And what can alter  Holiness Itself?
W2:288.2  know you have forgiven me if you behold your brother in the light of  holiness. He cannot be less holy than can I, and you cannot be holier

Tx:5.22  possible. As a result, there are choices which you must make. In the  holy state, the will is free in the sense that its creative power is
Tx:5.23  but its application is different. Choosing means divided will. The  Holy Spirit is one way of choosing. This way is in you because there

Tx:5.30  is another way or another Voice. Having given this invitation to the  Holy Spirit, I could come to provide the model for how to think.
Tx:5.30  but we must respond to the same mind to do this. This mind is the  Holy Spirit, whose will is for God always. He teaches you how to keep
Tx:5.31  God, my message is for you to hear and give away as you answer the  Holy Spirit within you.
Tx:5.32 The way to learn to know your brother is by perceiving the  Holy Spirit in him. We have already said that the Holy Spirit is the
Tx:5.32  by perceiving the Holy Spirit in him. We have already said that the  Holy Spirit is the bridge or thought-transfer of perception to
Tx:5.32  two ways of thinking would not be open to healing. He is part of the  Holy Trinity because His Mind is partly yours and also partly God's.
Tx:5.33 The  Holy Spirit is the idea of healing. Being thought, the idea gains as
Tx:5.33  idea of yourself as well as of all the parts of God. The idea of the  Holy Spirit shares the property of other ideas, because it follows

Tx:5.34  also be in his, because you are perceiving him. See him through the  Holy Spirit in his mind, and you will recognize Him in yours. What
Tx:5.35 The Voice of the  Holy Spirit is weak in you. That is why you must share it. It must be
Tx:5.35  by being shared. If you make the mistake of looking for the  Holy Spirit in yourself alone, your meditations will frighten you
Tx:5.36  and delay are meaningless in eternity. We have said before that the  Holy Spirit is God's Answer to the ego. Everything of which the Holy
Tx:5.36  the Holy Spirit is God's Answer to the ego. Everything of which the  Holy Spirit reminds you is in direct opposition to the ego's notions,
Tx:5.36  because true and false perceptions are themselves opposed. The  Holy Spirit has the task of undoing what the ego has made. He undoes
Tx:5.38 The  Holy Spirit is the Mediator between the interpretations of the ego
Tx:5.38  Understanding is light, and light leads to knowledge. The  Holy Spirit is in light because He is in you who are light, but you
Tx:5.38  but you yourselves do not know this. It is therefore the task of the  Holy Spirit to reinterpret you on behalf of God.
Tx:5.39  is your life, your eternity, and yourself. It is of this that the  Holy Spirit reminds you. It is this that the Holy Spirit sees. This
Tx:5.39  It is of this that the Holy Spirit reminds you. It is this that the  Holy Spirit sees. This vision invariably frightens the ego because it
Tx:5.40 The  Holy Spirit is as vigilant as the ego to the call of danger, opposing
Tx:5.40  His strength, just as the ego welcomes it with all its might. The  Holy Spirit counters this welcome by welcoming peace. Peace and
Tx:5.41 The ego is the symbol of separation, just as the  Holy Spirit is the symbol of peace. What you perceive in others, you
Tx:5.41  strengthening in yourself. You let your mind misperceive, but the  Holy Spirit lets your mind reinterpret its own misperceptions. The
Tx:5.41  Holy Spirit lets your mind reinterpret its own misperceptions. The  Holy Spirit is the perfect teacher. He uses only what your minds
Tx:5.41  already understand to teach you that you do not understand it. The  Holy Spirit can deal with an unwilling learner without going counter
Tx:5.41  than the ego, even though the ego does not recognize it. The  Holy Spirit recognizes it perfectly, because it is His own dwelling
Tx:5.42  only in eternity. The ego made the world as it perceives it, but the  Holy Spirit, the reinterpreter of what the ego made, sees it only as
Tx:5.42  made, sees it only as a teaching device for bringing you home. The  Holy Spirit must perceive time and reinterpret it into the timeless.
Tx:5.43 The  Holy Spirit must work through opposites, because He must work with
Tx:5.43  have not made truth, but truth can still set you free. Look as the  Holy Spirit looks, and understand as He understands. His
Tx:5.43  His understanding looks back to God in remembrance of me. He is in  Holy Communion always, and He is part of you. He is your Guide to
Tx:5.45  They are beyond destruction and beyond guilt. They came from the  Holy Spirit within you, and we know what God creates is eternal. What
Tx:5.46  can safely fail to acknowledge anything that is true. However, the  Holy Spirit will not fail to help you reinterpret everything that you
Tx:5.47  of the Kingdom. Nothing good is lost because it comes from the  Holy Spirit, the Voice for creation. Nothing that is not good was
Tx:5.53  attraction of the parts of the Sonship, which hear the call of the  Holy Spirit to be as One.
Tx:5.54  and the mind which was in me rejoices as you choose to hear it. The  Holy Spirit atones in all of us by undoing and thus lifts the burden
Tx:5.56  at the same level. It is impossible to share opposing thoughts. The  Holy Spirit does not let you forsake your brothers. Therefore, you
Tx:5.57  of God lacks nothing. Everything you think that is not through the  Holy Spirit is lacking.
Tx:5.58 How can you who are so  holy suffer? All your past except its beauty is gone, and nothing is
Tx:5.59  ego's use of guilt is clarified. The ego has a purpose, just as the  Holy Spirit has. The ego's purpose is fear because only the fearful
Tx:5.59  can be egotistic. The ego's logic is as impeccable as that of the  Holy Spirit, because your mind has all the means at its disposal to
Tx:5.59  appropriate here because, once what you have made is undone by the  Holy Spirit, the blessed residue is restored and therefore continues
Tx:5.67 The  Holy Spirit, like the ego, is a decision. Together they constitute
Tx:5.67  the alternatives which the mind can accept and obey. The ego and the  Holy Spirit are the only choices open to you. God created one, and so
Tx:5.73  was in me is in you, for God creates with perfect fairness. Let the  Holy Spirit remind you always of His fairness, and let me teach you
Tx:5.74 The ego speaks in judgment and the  Holy Spirit reverses its decisions, much as the Supreme Court has the
Tx:5.75  wicked shall perish.” There are many others, but if you will let the  Holy Spirit reinterpret these in His own light, they will suffice.
Tx:5.76  the fact that vengeance cannot be shared. Give it therefore to the  Holy Spirit, who will undo it in you because it does not belong in
Tx:5.77  beyond itself. Actually, all the quotation means is that the  Holy Spirit in later generations retains the power to interpret
Tx:5.82  device which will be abolished when it is no longer useful. The  Holy Spirit, Who speaks for God in time, also knows that time is
Tx:5.83  set) on Him,” a statement which means that God's peace is set in the  Holy Spirit because it is fixed on God. It is also fixed in you. You,
Tx:5.85  is the pull of God, on whom your mind is fixed because of the  Holy Spirit's irrevocable set. “Irrevocable” means “cannot be called
Tx:5.85  “cannot be called back or redirected.” The irrevocable nature of the  Holy Spirit's set is the basis for His unequivocal Voice. The Holy
Tx:5.85  of the Holy Spirit's set is the basis for His unequivocal Voice. The  Holy Spirit never changes His Mind. Clarity of thought cannot occur
Tx:5.87 Second, although Freud misinterpreted what the  Holy Spirit told him, or better, reminded him of, he was too honest
Tx:5.93  for everything you have made which is not in accord with His  holy Will. I have made His plan perfectly explicit to you and have
Tx:5.95  the following as sincerely as you can, remembering that the  Holy Spirit will respond fully to your slightest invitation:
Tx:5.96  because I want to be at peace. I do not feel guilty, because the  Holy Spirit will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I
Tx:6.13  as learners, even though we need not have equal experiences. The  Holy Spirit is glad when you can learn enough from mine to be
Tx:6.14  on to sacrifice. On the contrary, by enabling yourselves to hear the  Holy Spirit in others, you can learn from their experiences and gain
Tx:6.14  from them without experiencing them yourselves. That is because the  Holy Spirit is one, and anyone who listens is inevitably led to
Tx:6.14  nor was I. You are not asked to repeat my experiences, because the  Holy Spirit, Whom we share, makes this unnecessary. To use my
Tx:6.15  that no perception which is out of accord with the judgment of the  Holy Spirit can be justified. I undertook to show this was true in a
Tx:6.16 Remember that the  Holy Spirit is the communication link between God the Father and His
Tx:6.28  its abilities are directed by the mind which has a better Voice. The  Holy Spirit as well as the ego utilizes projection, but since their
Tx:6.29 The  Holy Spirit begins by perceiving you as perfect. Knowing this
Tx:6.29  for both because it establishes inclusion. Perceiving equality, the  Holy Spirit perceives equal needs. This invites Atonement
Tx:6.31 The perfect equality of the  Holy Spirit's perception is the counterpart of the perfect equality
Tx:6.31  knowing. The ego's perception has no counterpart in God, but the  Holy Spirit remains the bridge between perception and knowledge. By
Tx:6.31  that this meeting is impossible, yet it is your perception which the  Holy Spirit guides. You might remember that the human eye perceives
Tx:6.32  other, because they were created neither partially nor in part. The  Holy Spirit enables you to perceive this wholeness now. You can no
Tx:6.32  alone. Prayer is the restatement of inclusion, directed by the  Holy Spirit under the laws of God. God created you to create. You
Tx:6.33  Although perception of any kind is unnecessary, you made it, and the  Holy Spirit can therefore use it well. He can inspire perception and
Tx:6.34 The  Holy Spirit uses time but does not believe in it. Coming from God, He
Tx:6.34  for good, but He does not believe in what is not true. Since the  Holy Spirit is in your minds, your minds must also be able to believe
Tx:6.34  your minds must also be able to believe only what is true. The  Holy Spirit can speak only for this because he speaks for God. He
Tx:6.35  because it can so easily make the idea seem so difficult. Yet the  Holy Spirit tells you that even return is unnecessary because what
Tx:6.36  all of your perceptions into the one parallel line which the  Holy Spirit sees. This line is the direct line of communication with
Tx:6.36  perception, because it means that all perception is guided by the  Holy Spirit, Whose Mind is fixed on God. Only the Holy Spirit can
Tx:6.36  is guided by the Holy Spirit, Whose Mind is fixed on God. Only the  Holy Spirit can resolve conflict, because only the Holy Spirit is
Tx:6.36  on God. Only the Holy Spirit can resolve conflict, because only the  Holy Spirit is conflict-free. He perceives only what is true in your
Tx:6.37  difference between the ego's use of projection and projection as the  Holy Spirit uses it is very simple. The ego projects to exclude and
Tx:6.37  simple. The ego projects to exclude and therefore to deceive. The  Holy Spirit projects by recognizing Himself in every mind and thus
Tx:6.37  them as one. Nothing conflicts in this perception, because what the  Holy Spirit perceives is the same. Wherever He looks He sees Himself,
Tx:6.38  mind forever, but it must shine outward to make you aware of it. The  Holy Spirit was given you with perfect impartiality, and only by
Tx:6.38  impartially can you perceive Him at all. The ego is legion, but the  Holy Spirit is One. No darkness abides anywhere in the Kingdom, but
Tx:6.40 The  Holy Spirit still holds knowledge safe through His impartial
Tx:6.41  you are to be conflict-free yourselves, you must learn only from the  Holy Spirit and teach only by Him. You are only love, but when you
Tx:6.42 The only real safety lies in projecting only the  Holy Spirit because, as you see His gentleness in others, your own
Tx:6.45 Remember that the  Holy Spirit is the Answer, not the question. The ego always speaks
Tx:6.45  it at any moment. If it meant you well, it would be glad, as the  Holy Spirit will be glad when He has brought you home and you no
Tx:6.47  you fully understand one basic fact that the ego does not know. The  Holy Spirit does not speak first, but He always answers. Everyone has
Tx:6.47  another and in one way or another and has been answered. Since the  Holy Spirit answers truly, He answers for all time, which means that
Tx:6.48 The ego cannot hear the  Holy Spirit, but it does believe that part of the same mind that made
Tx:6.50 Hear then the one answer of the  Holy Spirit to all the questions which the ego raises. You are a
Tx:6.55 That is why the  Holy Spirit never commands. To command is to assume inequality, which
Tx:6.55  Spirit never commands. To command is to assume inequality, which the  Holy Spirit demonstrates does not exist. Fidelity to premises is a
Tx:6.57 Like any good teacher, the  Holy Spirit does know more than you do now, but He teaches only to
Tx:6.60 The  Holy Spirit never itemizes errors because He does not frighten
Tx:6.60  they are frightened, because they do not know the difference. The  Holy Spirit makes no distinction among dreams. He merely shines them
Tx:6.60  you have been dreaming. Nothing lasting lies in dreams, and the  Holy Spirit, shining with the light from God Himself, speaks only for
Tx:6.62  It is clearly a separation device and therefore does not exist. The  Holy Spirit, as always, takes what you have made and translates it
Tx:6.63 We have said that the  Holy Spirit is the motivation for miracles. This is because He always
Tx:6.63  By the laws of mind, then, the body is meaningless. To the  Holy Spirit, there is no order of difficulty in miracles. This is
Tx:6.65 The  Holy Spirit, who leads to God, translates communication into being,
Tx:6.65  The insanity of this perception makes it a fearful one indeed. The  Holy Spirit sees the body only as a means of communication and
Tx:6.66  allegiance but always for what each one can get separately. The  Holy Spirit communicates only what each one can give to all. He never
Tx:6.72  then, is the undoing of the getting concept. Accordingly, the  Holy Spirit's first lesson was “to have, give all to all.” We said
Tx:6.74  of mind in the thinker. Meanwhile, the increasing clarity of the  Holy Spirit's Voice makes it impossible for the learner not to
Tx:6.76  you that it is up to you to decide which voice is true, but the  Holy Spirit teaches you that truth was created by God, and your
Tx:6.76  cannot change it. As you begin to realize the quiet power of the  Holy Spirit's Voice and its perfect consistency, it must dawn on your
Tx:6.76  before that there was help in reminding yourselves to allow the  Holy Spirit to decide for God for you.
Tx:6.77  believe that it is up to you to decide what God's creations are. The  Holy Spirit perceives the conflict exactly as it is. Therefore, His
Tx:6.81  accepted that is a demonstration of your growing awareness that the  Holy Spirit will lead you on.
Tx:6.82  salvation is critical to the whole Sonship. We said before that the  Holy Spirit is evaluative and must be. Yet His evaluation does not
Tx:6.83 What you must remember, however, is that what the  Holy Spirit rejects, the ego accepts. This is because they are in
Tx:6.83  crucial issue vary, and that is why it promotes different moods. The  Holy Spirit never varies on this point, and so the one mood He
Tx:6.84 The  Holy Spirit does not teach your mind to be critical of other minds,
Tx:6.84  established what you can project with perfect safety. Therefore, the  Holy Spirit's third lesson is:
Tx:6.88  that you can choose either one. By teaching what to choose, the  Holy Spirit will ultimately be able to teach you that you need not
Tx:6.88  direct it towards creation within the Kingdom. Choosing through the  Holy Spirit will lead you to the Kingdom. You create by what you are,
Tx:6.89  step will still be taken for you by God, but by the third step the  Holy Spirit has prepared you for God. He is getting you ready for the
Tx:6.95  second step, but I also told you that the third one follows it. The  Holy Spirit will enable you to go on if you follow Him. Your
Tx:7.6  Him is to share the perfect love He shares with you. To this the  Holy Spirit leads you that your joy may be complete, because the
Tx:7.6  and nothing that is true needs to be explained. However, the  Holy Spirit has the task of translating the useless into the useful,
Tx:7.7  a time concept. He is first in the sense that He is the first in the  Holy Trinity itself. He is the Prime Creator, because He created His
Tx:7.10  is to correct perception in your brother and yourself by sharing the  Holy Spirit with him. This places you both within the Kingdom and
Tx:7.15  is to change the form so that the original meaning is retained. The  Holy Spirit is the translator of the laws of God to those who do not
Tx:7.16 The  Holy Spirit's purpose in translating is naturally exactly the
Tx:7.17  it cannot be consistent unless it is remembered. That is why the  Holy Spirit is a lesson in remembering. We said before that He
Tx:7.22  defeat its purpose. Therefore, it does not really learn at all. The  Holy Spirit teaches you to use what the ego has made to teach the
Tx:7.22  applied to the learning. You could not have a better example of the  Holy Spirit's unified purpose than this course. The Holy Spirit has
Tx:7.22  example of the Holy Spirit's unified purpose than this course. The  Holy Spirit has taken very diversified areas of your learning and has
Tx:7.23 You made the effort to learn, and the  Holy Spirit has a unified goal for all effort. He adapts the ego's
Tx:7.24  to be no connection, because the ego is discontinuous. Yet the  Holy Spirit teaches one lesson and applies it to all individuals in
Tx:7.30  to question reality is to question meaninglessly. That is why the  Holy Spirit never questions. His sole function is to undo the
Tx:7.34 The  Holy Spirit must work through you to teach you He is in you. This is
Tx:7.34  you are in God, because you are part of Him. The miracles which the  Holy Spirit inspires can have no order of difficulty, because every
Tx:7.34  is God's Will and yours. The laws of God establish this, and the  Holy Spirit reminds you of it. When you heal, you are remembering the
Tx:7.35 All abilities, then, should be given over to the  Holy Spirit, Who knows how to use them properly. He can use them only
Tx:7.35  wholeness you learn to remember God. You have forgotten Him, but the  Holy Spirit still knows that your forgetting must be translated into
Tx:7.36 The ego's goal is as unified as the  Holy Spirit's, and it is because of this that their goals can never
Tx:7.36  or to any extent. The ego always seeks to divide and separate. The  Holy Spirit always seeks to unify and heal. As you heal you are
Tx:7.36  seeks to unify and heal. As you heal you are healed, because the  Holy Spirit sees no order of healing. Healing is the way to undo the
Tx:7.38  not recognizing its existence in your brothers. This strengthens the  Holy Spirit in both of you, because it is a refusal to acknowledge
Tx:7.39  matter are so apparent that they need no elaboration here, but the  Holy Spirit's decision to use the body only for communication has
Tx:7.41  can develop and must develop if he is to be healed. Healing is the  Holy Spirit's form of communication and the only one He knows. He
Tx:7.44 The  Holy Spirit does not work by chance, and healing that is of Him
Tx:7.48  he could not have changed his mind. That is how you perceive the  Holy Spirit in him. It is only the Holy Spirit in him that never
Tx:7.48  That is how you perceive the Holy Spirit in him. It is only the  Holy Spirit in him that never changes His Mind. He himself must think
Tx:7.51  is to share nothing. [Would I try to share an illusion with the most  holy children of a most holy Father?] Yet I do want to share my mind
Tx:7.51  I try to share an illusion with the most holy children of a most  holy Father?] Yet I do want to share my mind with you, because we are
Tx:7.54  reciprocal. They make or create, depending on whether the ego or the  Holy Spirit begets or inspires them, but they will return to the mind
Tx:7.60 The  Holy Spirit undoes illusions without attacking them merely because He
Tx:7.60  by perceiving conflict as meaningless. We said before that the  Holy Spirit perceives the conflict exactly as it is, and it is
Tx:7.60  perceives the conflict exactly as it is, and it is meaningless. The  Holy Spirit does not want you to understand conflict; He wants you to
Tx:7.61 If you will keep in mind what the  Holy Spirit offers you, you cannot be vigilant for anything but God
Tx:7.61  which are not true and would never have been called upon by the  Holy Spirit if you had not believed the untrue. You cannot deny that,
Tx:7.64  committed to untruth, perceiving in total contradiction to the  Holy Spirit and to the knowledge of God.
Tx:7.65 You can be perceived with meaning only by the  Holy Spirit, because your being is the knowledge of God. Any belief
Tx:7.68 In this depressing state, the  Holy Spirit reminds you gently that you are sad because you are not
Tx:7.68  is unchangeable, no real conflict of will is possible. This is the  Holy Spirit's perfectly consistent teaching.
Tx:7.71  because it will be used for attack, but in the service of the  Holy Spirit, [the law becomes as beneficent as all of the laws of
Tx:7.82  as a way of getting rid of something it does not want. To the  Holy Spirit, it is the fundamental law of sharing by which you give
Tx:7.83 Projection, to the  Holy Spirit, is the law of extension. To the ego, it is the law of
Tx:7.88  the errors as yours, do not keep them. Give them over quickly to the  Holy Spirit to be undone completely so that all their effects will
Tx:7.89 The  Holy Spirit will teach you to perceive beyond belief, because truth
Tx:7.91  is of the Soul, because that is how God created it. The  Holy Spirit is the part of the mind that lies between the ego and the
Tx:7.95  unknown to them. Your creations are protected for you, because the  Holy Spirit, Who is in your mind, knows of them and can bring them
Tx:7.100  His Will as yours, and you are denying His Kingdom and yours. The  Holy Spirit will direct you only so as to avoid pain. The undoing of
Tx:7.100  this goal if he recognized it. The problem is not whether what the  Holy Spirit says is true, but whether you want to listen to what He
Tx:7.101  know what is joyful and are in fact very apt to confuse the two. The  Holy Spirit's main function is to teach you to tell them apart.
Tx:7.101  This confusion is the cause of the whole idea of sacrifice. Obey the  Holy Spirit, and you will be giving up the ego. But you will be
Tx:7.103 The  Holy Spirit always sides with you and with your strength. As long as
Tx:7.103  then, can this decision mean except that you want to be fearful? The  Holy Spirit never asks for sacrifice, but the ego always does. When
Tx:7.104  of this decision is confusion, this is hardly surprising.] The  Holy Spirit is perfectly trustworthy, as you are. God Himself trusts
Tx:7.107 The  Holy Spirit will always guide you truly, because your joy is His.
Tx:7.110  has become the perfect teacher, because he has learned it of the  Holy Spirit, Who wants to teach him everything He knows. When a mind
Tx:8.8  confused and totally confusing. Even if you could disregard the  Holy Spirit entirely, which is quite impossible, you could learn
Tx:8.10  Will with you. His Voice teaches only His Will, but that is not the  Holy Spirit's lesson because that is what you are. The lesson is that
Tx:8.11  freedom and makes you afraid of your will because it is free. The  Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the will of a Son of God,
Tx:8.11  a Son of God, knowing that the will of the Son is the Father's. The  Holy Spirit leads you steadily along the path of freedom, teaching
Tx:8.12 We said before that the  Holy Spirit teaches you the difference between pain and joy. That is
Tx:8.13 The  Holy Spirit's teaching takes only one direction and has only one
Tx:8.15 To what else except all power and glory can the  Holy Spirit appeal to restore God's Kingdom? His appeal, then, is
Tx:8.17  be forced upon you, being an experience of total willingness. The  Holy Spirit knows how to teach this, but you do not. That is why you
Tx:8.18  Fatherhood must be extended outward. You who belong in God have the  holy function of extending His Fatherhood by placing no limits upon
Tx:8.18  of extending His Fatherhood by placing no limits upon it. Let the  Holy Spirit teach you how to do this, for you will know what it means
Tx:8.19 When you meet anyone, remember it is a  holy encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat
Tx:8.20  find them in yourself, because it does not know where to look. The  Holy Spirit teaches you that if you look only at yourself, you cannot
Tx:8.22  someone else, you had thought that he was someone else. And every  holy encounter in which you enter fully will teach you this is not so.
Tx:8.23  from them. The ego teaches that your strength is in you alone. The  Holy Spirit teaches that all strength is in God and therefore in you.
Tx:8.35 The  Holy Trinity is holy, because it is one. If you exclude yourself from
Tx:8.35 The Holy Trinity is  holy, because it is one. If you exclude yourself from this union, you
Tx:8.35  one. If you exclude yourself from this union, you are perceiving the  Holy Trinity as separated. You must be included in It, because It is
Tx:8.38  As we unite, we unite with Him. Glory be to the union of God and His  holy Sons! All glory lies in them because they are united. The
Tx:8.41 The ego's way is not mine, but it is also not yours. The  Holy Spirit has one direction for all minds, and the one He taught me
Tx:8.42  The world can add nothing to the power and the glory of God and His  holy Sons, but it can blind the Sons to the Father if they behold it.
Tx:8.45  your creations as He wants His. Your creations are your gift to the  Holy Trinity, created in gratitude for your creation. They do not
Tx:8.50 Our creations are as  holy as we are, and we are the Sons of God Himself and therefore as
Tx:8.50  holy as we are, and we are the Sons of God Himself and therefore as  holy as He is. Through our creations, we extend our love and thus
Tx:8.50  our creations, we extend our love and thus increase the joy of the  Holy Trinity. You do not understand this for a very simple reason.
Tx:8.52  beloved of God are wholly blessed. Learn this of me, and free the  holy will of all those who are as blessed as you are.
Tx:8.54 Remember that the  Holy Spirit interprets the body only as a means of communication.
Tx:8.54  Being the communication link between God and His separated Sons, the  Holy Spirit interprets everything you have made in the light of what
Tx:8.54  in the light of what He is. The ego separates through the body. The  Holy Spirit reaches through it to others. You do not perceive your
Tx:8.54  through it to others. You do not perceive your brothers as the  Holy Spirit does, because you do not interpret their bodies and yours
Tx:8.55  is. This is God's way of making unlimited what you have limited. The  Holy Spirit does not see the body as you do, because He knows the
Tx:8.56  ends separation. Attack promotes it. The body is beautiful or ugly,  holy or savage, helpful or harmful, according to the use to which it
Tx:8.56  put yours. If the body becomes for you a means which you give to the  Holy Spirit to use on behalf of union of the Sonship, you will not
Tx:8.56  already done so by misusing it. Interpret anything apart from the  Holy Spirit, and you will mistrust it. This will lead you to hatred
Tx:8.57  in littleness and thus escape from yours. As part of you, he is  holy. As part of me, you are. To communicate with part of God Himself
Tx:8.58  power and glory for you, with which you can perfectly accomplish His  holy will for you when you so will it yourself. He has not withdrawn
Tx:8.59  it can be put. To use the body unnaturally is to lose sight of the  Holy Spirit's purpose and thus to confuse the goal of His curriculum.
Tx:8.60  world. In fact, it is ultimately why the world is depressing. The  Holy Spirit's curriculum is never depressing, because it is a
Tx:8.61  to be ruled by chaos. Guided by the ego, it is. Guided by the  Holy Spirit, it is not. It becomes only a means by which the part of
Tx:8.61  return to the Soul. The ego's temple thus becomes the temple of the  Holy Spirit, where devotion to Him replaces devotion to the ego. In
Tx:8.74  call upon witnesses who would disagree with its case, nor does the  Holy Spirit. We have said that judgment is the function of the Holy
Tx:8.74  the Holy Spirit. We have said that judgment is the function of the  Holy Spirit and one which He is perfectly equipped to fulfill. The
Tx:8.76  endless prescriptions for avoiding catastrophic outcomes. The  Holy Spirit, perfectly aware of the same data, does not bother to
Tx:8.78  except truth. When you lay the ego aside, it will be gone. The  Holy Spirit's Voice is as loud as your willingness to listen. It
Tx:8.78  listen. It cannot be louder without violating your will, which the  Holy Spirit seeks to free but never to command.
Tx:8.79 The  Holy Spirit teaches you to use your body only to reach your brothers,
Tx:8.79  heal you. Everything used in accordance with its function as the  Holy Spirit sees it cannot be sick. Everything used otherwise is. Do
Tx:8.79  is the natural state of anything whose interpretation is left to the  Holy Spirit, Who perceives no attack on anything. Health is the
Tx:8.80 We once said that the  Holy Spirit is the Answer. He is the Answer to everything, because He
Tx:8.80  its questions. When the ego tempts you to sickness, do not ask the  Holy Spirit to heal the body, for this would merely be to accept the
Tx:8.80  that the body is the proper aim for healing. Ask rather that the  Holy Spirit teach you the right perception of the body, for
Tx:8.82  what joining means if you are sleeping under its guidance. Yet the  Holy Spirit, too, has use for sleep and can use dreams on behalf of
Tx:8.83  did you place it? Whenever you wake dispiritedly, it was not of the  Holy Spirit. Only when you awaken joyously have you utilized sleep
Tx:8.83  when you awaken joyously have you utilized sleep according to the  Holy Spirit's purpose. You can indeed be “drugged by sleep,” but this
Tx:8.84  to love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love. The  Holy Spirit cannot distinguish among degrees of error, for if He
Tx:8.89 The unification of purpose, then, is the  Holy Spirit's only way of healing. This is because it is the only
Tx:8.93  it remains available but cannot help you. When we said that the  Holy Spirit's function is to sort out the true from the false in your
Tx:8.94  process can only be what you think you lose. Yet it is only what the  Holy Spirit sees that you can possibly have. We have emphasized many
Tx:8.94  that you can possibly have. We have emphasized many times that the  Holy Spirit will never call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if
Tx:8.94  anything. But if you ask the sacrifice of reality of yourselves, the  Holy Spirit must remind you that this is not God's Will because it is
Tx:8.95  this is precisely what you will ask for. You may insist that the  Holy Spirit does not answer you, but it might be wiser to consider
Tx:8.98  but it is still true that they do not want them. Can you ask the  Holy Spirit for “gifts” such as these and actually expect to receive
Tx:8.98  for “gifts” such as these and actually expect to receive them? [The  Holy Spirit is totally incapable of giving you anything that does not
Tx:8.100 When you ask the  Holy Spirit for what would hurt you, He cannot answer, because
Tx:8.100  not a request. It is merely a denial in the form of a request. The  Holy Spirit is not concerned with form at all, being aware only of
Tx:8.100  form at all, being aware only of meaning. The ego cannot ask the  Holy Spirit for anything because there is complete communication
Tx:8.100  failure between them. Yet you can ask for everything of the  Holy Spirit because your requests are real, being of your will. Would
Tx:8.100  Spirit because your requests are real, being of your will. Would the  Holy Spirit deny the Will of God? And could He fail to recognize it
Tx:8.108 Let us suppose, then, that what you request of the  Holy Spirit is what you really want, but you are still afraid of it.
Tx:8.109  be true if no effort is wasted. The very fact that one has asked the  Holy Spirit for anything will ensure a response. Yet it is equally
Tx:8.109  a response. Yet it is equally certain that no response given by the  Holy Spirit will ever be one which would increase fear. It is
Tx:8.110  in me whose faith in you cannot be shaken. Can you ask of the  Holy Spirit truly and doubt your brother? Believe his words are true
Tx:8.111  about him determines the message you receive. Remember that the  Holy Spirit is in him, and His Voice speaks to you through him. What
Tx:8.111  is in him, and His Voice speaks to you through him. What can so  holy a brother tell you except truth? But are you listening to it?
Tx:8.111  his words true and making you able to hear them. His words are the  Holy Spirit's answer to you. Is your faith in him strong enough to
Tx:8.112 Salvation is of your brother. The  Holy Spirit extends from your mind to his and answers you. You cannot
Tx:8.112  in you unless you extend it. You will not trust the guidance of the  Holy Spirit or believe that it is for you unless you hear it in
Tx:8.113  me. Knowing what you are, I cannot doubt you. I hear only the  Holy Spirit in you, who speaks to me through you. If you would hear
Tx:8.118 You can ask of the  Holy Spirit, then, only by giving to Him, and you can give to Him
Tx:9.1  to the errors which other egos make is not the kind of vigilance the  Holy Spirit would have you maintain. Egos are critical in terms of
Tx:9.1  understand this kind of sense because it is sensible to them. To the  Holy Spirit, it makes no sense at all. To the ego, it is kind and
Tx:9.3  of your brother's ego, you must be seeing through yours, because the  Holy Spirit does not perceive his errors. This must be true if there
Tx:9.3  be true if there is no communication at all between the ego and the  Holy Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not
Tx:9.3  between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the  Holy Spirit does not attempt to understand anything that arises from
Tx:9.4 When you react at all to errors, you are not listening to the  Holy Spirit. He has merely disregarded them, and if you attend to
Tx:9.5  them, you are accepting yours. If you want to give yours over to the  Holy Spirit, you must do this with his. Unless this becomes the one
Tx:9.7  and keep it, see only truth beside you, for you walk together. The  Holy Spirit in you forgives all things in you and in your brother.
Tx:9.7  the ego. Correction is of God, Who does not know of arrogance. The  Holy Spirit forgives everything, because God created everything.
Tx:9.8  learn to want this, and for this all learning was made. This is the  Holy Spirit's good use of an ability which you do not need, but which
Tx:9.11  which is given you because you have forgotten how to do it. The  Holy Spirit merely reminds you of what is your natural ability. By
Tx:9.11  in its judgment. All their helpfulness lies in the judgment of the  Holy Spirit.
Tx:9.14 Forgiveness through the  Holy Spirit lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning
Tx:9.14  order to be forgiven. What has no effect does not exist, and to the  Holy Spirit, the effects of error are totally non-existent. By
Tx:9.15 Miracles are merely the sign of your willingness to follow the  Holy Spirit's plan of salvation in recognition of the fact that you
Tx:9.23  as unhelpful as the older ones, because form does not matter to the  Holy Spirit and therefore does not matter at all. According to the
Tx:9.23  is equated with the mind, the mind's corrective power through the  Holy Spirit is denied.
Tx:9.28  not of him. Yet, being for him, it must also be for his patient. The  Holy Spirit is the only therapist. He makes healing perfectly clear
Tx:9.29 As you awaken other minds to the  Holy Spirit through Him and not yourself, you will understand that
Tx:9.31 How can you become increasingly aware of the  Holy Spirit in you except by His effects? You cannot see Him with
Tx:9.32 It seems to you that the  Holy Spirit does not produce joy consistently in you only because you
Tx:9.35  are not yet awake, but you can learn how to awaken. Very simply the  Holy Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them waken, you
Tx:9.40 It is perfectly obvious that if the  Holy Spirit looks with love on all He perceives, He looks with love
Tx:9.40  there. Its evaluation of you, however, is the exact opposite of the  Holy Spirit's, because the ego does not love you. It is unaware of
Tx:9.41  these evaluations are, because you do not understand how lofty the  Holy Spirit's perception of you really is. He is not deceived by
Tx:9.41  ego is deceived by everything you do, even when you respond to the  Holy Spirit, because at such times its confusion increases. The ego
Tx:9.44  from beyond it, because, within it, its foundation does stand. The  Holy Spirit judges against the reality of the ego's thought system
Tx:9.44  not true. Therefore, nothing that arises from it means anything. The  Holy Spirit judges every belief you hold in terms of where it comes
Tx:9.56  What good can come of it? And if no good can come of it, the  Holy Spirit cannot use it. What He cannot transform to the Will of
Tx:9.58  it or prevail over it. It does not vary. It merely is. Ask the  Holy Spirit what it is and He will tell you, but do not be afraid of
Tx:9.60  if you are God's only creation, and He created you eternal? Your  holy will establishes everything that happens to you. Every response
Tx:9.61  for your self so you could be like Him. That is why your will is  holy. Can anything exceed the love of God? Can anything, then, exceed
Tx:9.66  with neither? You do not remember being awake. When you hear the  Holy Spirit, you merely feel better because loving seems possible to
Tx:9.69  this decision lie joy and peace and the glory of creation. Offer the  Holy Spirit only your will to remember, for He retains the knowledge
Tx:9.91  is the recognition that his brother can do it. It is a call to the  Holy Spirit in his mind, a call to Him which is strengthened by this
Tx:10.5  upon it but will be blessed by Him, for you will be restoring the  holy dwelling place of His Son, where He wills His Son to be and
Tx:10.12  is merely because it is yours. You do not know what it is, but the  Holy Spirit remembers it for you. Ask Him, therefore, what God's Will
Tx:10.12  be too often repeated that you do not know it. Whenever what the  Holy Spirit tells you appears to be coercive, it is only because you
Tx:10.15 You are asked to trust the  Holy Spirit only because He speaks for you. He is the Voice for God,
Tx:10.19  whole. And this willingness opens his own ears to the Voice of the  Holy Spirit, whose message is wholeness. He will enable you to go far
Tx:10.20 The  Holy Spirit cannot speak to an unwelcoming host because He will not
Tx:10.22  is not real freedom, for it still depends on how you see it. The  Holy Spirit is there, although He cannot help you without your
Tx:10.29  that you may enter the temple and find it waiting for you. But be  holy in the Presence of God, or you will not know that you are there.
Tx:10.50  can be accomplished, and God's purpose can not. According to the  Holy Spirit's teaching, only God's purpose is accomplishment, and it
Tx:10.53 The ego analyzes; the  Holy Spirit accepts. The appreciation of wholeness comes only through
Tx:10.54  of perception are, and would have to be, the exact opposite of the  Holy Spirit's. The ego focuses on error and overlooks truth. It makes
Tx:10.73  because it is His Will to be known. The real world is all that the  Holy Spirit has saved for you out of what you have made, and to
Tx:10.75  what you perceive, for its meaning is lost to you. Yet the  Holy Spirit has saved its meaning for you, and if you will let Him
Tx:10.80  than to be told very clearly that if you ask you will receive. The  Holy Spirit will answer every specific problem as long as you believe
Tx:10.81  that asking is taking, and you do not perceive it as sharing. The  Holy Spirit will give you only what is yours and will take nothing in
Tx:10.81  and you share it with God. This is its reality. Would the  Holy Spirit, Who wills only to restore, be capable of misinterpreting
Tx:10.82  the question. You have believed that to ask for guidance of the  Holy Spirit is to ask for deprivation. Little Children of God, you do
Tx:10.87  and are condemning God's Son, whom God condemneth not. Let the  Holy Spirit remove all offense of God's Son against himself and
Tx:10.90  only in yourself. Yet you can learn the truth of yourself of the  Holy Spirit, who will teach you that, as part of God, deceit in you
Tx:11.3  of all motivation that makes any sense. And because it is the  Holy Spirit's judgment, it requires no effort at all on your part.
Tx:11.6  him your help, and you will not perceive God's answer to you. The  Holy Spirit does not need your help in interpreting motivation, but
Tx:11.9 By applying the  Holy Spirit's interpretation of the reactions of others more and more
Tx:11.9  the recognition is necessary to demonstrate the need for escape. The  Holy Spirit must still translate it into truth. If you were left with
Tx:11.9  as a crucial step in the undoing of the ego. Consider how well the  Holy Spirit's interpretation of the motives of others will serve you
Tx:11.13  of its reality than by answering the appeal for it by giving it? The  Holy Spirit's interpretation of fear does dispel it, for the
Tx:11.13  it, for the awareness of truth cannot be denied. Thus does the  Holy Spirit replace fear with love and translate error into truth.
Tx:11.22  it, for to lay aside means to judge against. If you will look, the  Holy Spirit will judge and will judge truly. He cannot shine away
Tx:11.23  and carefully planned program aimed at learning how to offer to the  Holy Spirit everything you do not want. He knows what to do with it.
Tx:11.35  your investment in the world as you have projected it, allowing the  Holy Spirit to project the real world to you from the altar of God.
Tx:11.39  to find is hardly joyous. Is this the promise you would keep? The  Holy Spirit offers you another promise, and one that will lead to
Tx:11.40  within yourself, for you do not believe your home is there. Yet the  Holy Spirit knows it for you, and He will guide you to your home
Tx:11.42  awaits only the recognition that you have been redeemed. The  Holy Spirit guides you into life eternal, but you must relinquish
Tx:11.46 The  Holy Spirit's love is your strength, for yours is divided and
Tx:11.53  to teach you how to gain the whole world and lose your own Soul. The  Holy Spirit teaches that you cannot lose your Soul and there is no
Tx:11.54 The  Holy Spirit is your strength because He perceives nothing but your
Tx:11.55  the world real unto yourself, for the real world is the gift of the  Holy Spirit, and so it belongs to you.
Tx:11.56  is for all who cannot see. To open the eyes of the blind is the  Holy Spirit's mission, for He knows that they have not lost their
Tx:11.57 The  Holy Spirit keeps the vision of Christ for every Son of God who
Tx:11.57  in himself. For reality is one with the Father and the Son, and the  Holy Spirit blesses the real world in Their Name.
Tx:11.58  holding out the Father's love to you in the quiet light of the  Holy Spirit's blessing. For the Holy Spirit will lead everyone home
Tx:11.58  to you in the quiet light of the Holy Spirit's blessing. For the  Holy Spirit will lead everyone home to his Father, where Christ waits
Tx:11.59  which He knows because He knows His Father's love for Him. When the  Holy Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His Father,
Tx:11.59  perception fuses into knowledge because perception has become so  holy that its transfer to holiness is merely its natural extension.
Tx:11.59  elements in all situations, the transfer of your training under the  Holy Spirit's guidance increases and becomes generalized. Gradually
Tx:11.60  is the reinstatement of knowledge. At the altar of God, the  holy perception of God's Son becomes so enlightened that light
Tx:11.61  them to all situations, you will gain the real world. For in this  holy perception, you will be made whole, and the Atonement will
Tx:11.61  will radiate from your acceptance of it for yourself to everyone the  Holy Spirit sends you for your blessing. In every Child of God His
Tx:11.63 The  Holy Spirit is invisible, but you can see the results of His
Tx:11.63  and mass, of prediction and control is transcended, for what the  Holy Spirit enables you to do is clearly beyond all of them.
Tx:11.64 You cannot see the  Holy Spirit, but you can see His manifestations. And unless you do,
Tx:11.64  real to you as its presence becomes manifest through you. Do the  Holy Spirit's work, for you share in His function. As your function
Tx:11.64  is healing. God shares His function with you in Heaven, and the  Holy Spirit shares His with you on earth.
Tx:11.65  is the destruction of peace, a goal in direct opposition to the  Holy Spirit's purpose. You see what you expect, and you expect what
Tx:11.66 I am the manifestation of the  Holy Spirit, and when you see me, it will be because you have invited
Tx:11.72  you will find it, for by making it manifest, you will see it. Its  holy witnesses will surround you because you called upon them and
Tx:11.73  for judgment is not your function. If it is the judgment of the  Holy Spirit, it will be right, for judgment is His function. You
Tx:11.75  Father. That is why the undoing of guilt is an essential part of the  Holy Spirit's teaching. For as long as you feel guilty, you are

Tx:11.79  is up to you to decide what reality is. What can be seen is what the  Holy Spirit sees. The definition of reality is God's, not yours. He
Tx:11.82 Everything you made has never been and is invisible because the  Holy Spirit does not see it. Yet what He does see is yours to behold,
Tx:11.82  and truth. God's Son can be seen because his vision is shared. The  Holy Spirit looks upon him and sees nothing else in you. What is
Tx:11.89 Long ago we said that the  Holy Spirit shares the goal of all good teachers, whose ultimate aim
Tx:11.89  themselves unnecessary by teaching their pupils all they know. The  Holy Spirit wills only this, for sharing the Father's love for His

Tx:11.95 As you perceive the  holy companions who travel with you, you will realize that there is
Tx:11.99  guilt real, and if it is real, there is no way to overcome it. The  Holy Spirit dispels it simply through the calm recognition that it

Tx:12.29 Would you recognize a  holy encounter if you are merely perceiving it as a meeting with your
Tx:12.29  no one, and the sharing of salvation, which makes the encounter  holy, is excluded from your sight. The Holy Spirit teaches that you

Tx:12.29  Spirit teaches that you always meet yourself and the encounter is  holy because you are. The ego teaches that you always encounter your

Tx:12.29  be, and the present is without meaning. It is evident that the  Holy Spirit's perception of time is the exact opposite of the ego's.
Tx:12.30 The  Holy Spirit interprets time's purpose as rendering the need for it
Tx:12.30  For only now is here, and it presents the opportunities for the  holy encounters in which salvation can be found.

Tx:13.4 Apart from the Father and the Son, the  Holy Spirit has no function. He is not separate from either, being in
Tx:13.6  the One Reality of God. The only miracle that ever was is God's most  holy Son, created in the One Reality that is his Father. Christ's

Tx:13.16  of God lies the conviction of your own guilt. If you would have the  Holy Spirit make you free of it, accept His offer of Atonement for
Tx:13.19 Within you is the  holy sign of perfect faith your Father has in you. He does not value

Tx:13.25  learn that guilt is always totally insane and has no reason. The  Holy Spirit seeks not to dispel reality. If guilt were real,
Tx:13.26 The  Holy Spirit does not keep illusions in your mind to frighten you and

Tx:13.29  not in the Mind of God where you are. And this is reason, which the  Holy Spirit would restore to you. He would remove only illusions. All

Tx:13.39  minds are darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the  Holy Spirit to you and gave Him the mission to remove all doubt and
Tx:13.39  accomplished from accomplishment. Whatever your reactions to the  Holy Spirit's Voice may be, whatever voice you choose to listen to,
Tx:13.39  He is invariable as the peace in which you dwell and of which the  Holy Spirit reminds you.

Tx:13.47  you have the means for learning it and seeing it quite clearly. The  Holy Spirit uses logic as easily and as well as does the ego, except
Tx:13.47  us now turn away from them and follow the simple logic by which the  Holy Spirit teaches you the simple conclusions that speak for truth
Tx:13.50  touched, and your dream is sacred to you. That is why God placed the  Holy Spirit in you, where you placed the dream.
Tx:13.52 Any direction which will lead you where the  Holy Spirit leads you not goes nowhere. Anything you deny which He
Tx:13.53 The  Holy Spirit, therefore, must begin His teaching by showing you what
Tx:13.54 The  Holy Spirit needs a happy learner in whom His mission can be happily
Tx:13.54  must first recognize that you are miserable and not happy. The  Holy Spirit cannot teach without this contrast, for you believe that
Tx:13.56 The  Holy Spirit, seeing where you are but knowing you are elsewhere,
Tx:13.57  they are kings with golden crowns because of them. All this the  Holy Spirit sees and teaches simply that all this is not true. To
Tx:13.57  and delude themselves into believing that it is not nothing, the  Holy Spirit says, with steadfast quietness:
Tx:13.58  you. Offer your faith to Me, and I will place it gently in the  holy place where it belongs. You will find no deception there but
Tx:13.59 Like you, the  Holy Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He
Tx:13.61  learner, you must give everything that you have learned over to the  Holy Spirit to be unlearned for you. And then begin to learn the
Tx:13.62  the conditions of knowledge in the Kingdom. All this lies in the  Holy Spirit's plan to free you from the past and open up the way to
Tx:13.62  the hands of Christ Who gives it to you that you may join Him in the  holy task of bringing light to darkness. For, like your brothers, you

Tx:13.68  the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt; the  Holy Spirit the decision for guiltlessness. The power of decision is
Tx:13.70  darkness has no power over the Son of God is the happy lesson the  Holy Spirit teaches and would have you teach with Him. It is His joy
Tx:13.72  himself the penalty of guilt in place of all the happy teaching the  Holy Spirit would gladly offer him.
Tx:13.74  that what they want is good. Yet will was given them because it is  holy and will bring to them all that they need, coming as naturally
Tx:13.74  of value. Yet because they do not understand their will, the  Holy Spirit quietly understands it for them and gives them what they
Tx:13.76  Make no decisions about what it is or where it lies, but ask of the  Holy Spirit everything and leave all decisions to His gentle counsel.
Tx:13.77  would define what salvation is and what you would be saved from. The  Holy Spirit knows that all salvation is escape from guilt. You have

Tx:13.79 Seek not to appraise the worth of God's Son, whom He created  holy, for to do so is to evaluate his Father and judge against Him.
Tx:13.80 Say to the  Holy Spirit only, “Decide for me,” and it is done. For His decisions
Tx:13.80  cannot know when all knowledge lies behind every decision which the  Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His love and teach
Tx:13.88 When you have let all that obscured the truth in your most  holy mind be undone for you and stand in grace before your Father, He
Tx:13.92  in summer. Only your own volition seems to make deciding hard. The  Holy Spirit will not delay at all in answering your every question
Tx:14.3  God. It does not teach you what you are or what your Father is. The  Holy Spirit, Who remembers this for you, merely teaches you how to
Tx:14.4  unlike the way he sees himself. God can communicate only to the  Holy Spirit in your mind because only He shares the knowledge of what
Tx:14.4  only He shares the knowledge of what you are with God. And only the  Holy Spirit can answer God for you, for only He knows what God is.
Tx:14.5  nothing of value here and everything of value there. Listen to the  Holy Spirit and to God through Him. He speaks of you to you. There is
Tx:14.11  only this. You will not be exempt from the effects of this most  holy lesson, which seeks but to restore what is the right of God's
Tx:14.12  of perfect purity from which no one is excluded. Within its  holy circle is everyone whom God created as His Son. Joy is its
Tx:14.13  calling you to peace. Teach peace with me and stand with me on  holy ground. Remember for everyone your Father's power that He has
Tx:14.14  aim. It sees as guilty, and by its condemnation, it would kill. The  Holy Spirit sees only guiltlessness, and in His gentleness, He would
Tx:14.15 Each one you see you place within the  holy circle of Atonement or leave outside, judging him fit for
Tx:14.15  Holiness must be shared, for therein lies everything that makes it  holy. Come gladly to the holy circle, and look out in peace on all
Tx:14.15  for therein lies everything that makes it holy. Come gladly to the  holy circle, and look out in peace on all who think they are outside.

Tx:14.20  you have made for breaking your communication with your Father. The  Holy Spirit reinterprets it as a means of reestablishing what has not
Tx:14.20  been made obscure. All things you made have use to Him for His most  holy purpose. He knows you are not separate from God, but He

Tx:14.21  maker. You who made it are but expressing conflict, from which the  Holy Spirit would release you. Leave what you would communicate to
Tx:14.23 The  Holy Spirit's function is entirely communication. He therefore must
Tx:14.28  not defend itself. Defense is of your making. God knows it not. The  Holy Spirit uses defenses on behalf of truth only because you made
Tx:14.29  you made, must be gently turned to your own good, translated by the  Holy Spirit from means of self-destruction to means of preservation
Tx:14.30 The  Holy Spirit asks of you but this—bring to Him every secret you have
Tx:14.31  one purpose which He shares with you. The single vision which the  Holy Spirit offers you will bring this oneness to your mind with

Tx:14.34  do know God and also this. All this is safe within you, where the  Holy Spirit shines. He shines not in division, but in the meeting
Tx:14.34  Him. Communication between what cannot be divided cannot cease. The  holy meeting place of the unseparated Father and His Son lies in the
Tx:14.34  holy meeting place of the unseparated Father and His Son lies in the  Holy Spirit and in you. All interference in the communication that
Tx:14.36  creation is accomplished by the Creator and by His creations. In the  holy meeting place are joined the Father and His creations, and the

Tx:14.38 The Atonement does not make holy. You were created  holy. It merely brings unholiness to holiness, or what you made to
Tx:14.38  bringing together of truth and illusion, of the ego to God, is the  Holy Spirit's only function. Keep not your making from your Father,

Tx:14.43  to see no one can fail to understand. It is the message that the  Holy Spirit is holding to the mirror that is in him. He recognizes it
Tx:14.50  to arrange by judgment. [Therefore, it is not your function, but the  Holy Spirit's.] It will seem difficult for you to learn that you have
Tx:14.50  you have no basis at all for ordering your thoughts. This lesson the  Holy Spirit teaches by giving you shining examples to show you that
Tx:14.52 The only judgment involved at all is the  Holy Spirit's one division into two categories—one of love and the
Tx:14.55  you hold is for yourself. If you would remember your Father, let the  Holy Spirit order your thoughts and give only the answer with which
Tx:14.56 As God communicates to the  Holy Spirit in you, so does the Holy Spirit translate His
Tx:14.56 As God communicates to the Holy Spirit in you, so does the  Holy Spirit translate His communications through you so you can
Tx:14.56  for all. Nothing lives in secret, and what you would hide from the  Holy Spirit is nothing. Every interpretation you would lay upon a
Tx:14.56  interpretation you would lay upon a brother is senseless. Let the  Holy Spirit show him to you and teach you both his love and need for
Tx:14.63  this in one form or another. And each bright lesson, with which the  Holy Spirit will replace the dark ones you do not accept and hide,
Tx:14.68  with certain aspects of your lives alone that the guidance of the  Holy Spirit is limited. Thus would you make Him undependable and use
Tx:14.69 Do you think that what the  Holy Spirit would have you give He would withhold from you? You have
Tx:14.70  no dark lessons of guilt can abide in what He has established as  holy by His Presence. Thank God that He is there and works through
Tx:14.71  your Father. The miracle of creation has never ceased, having the  holy stamp of immortality upon it. This is the Will of God for all
Tx:14.73  not upon the ego for anything. It is only this that you need do. The  Holy Spirit will, of Himself, fill every mind that so makes room for
Tx:15.2  is your belief that this takes time, and that the results of the  Holy Spirit's teaching are far in the future. This is not so. For the
Tx:15.2  Spirit's teaching are far in the future. This is not so. For the  Holy Spirit uses time in His own way and is not bound by it. [Time is
Tx:15.2  uses time to support its belief in destruction. The ego, like the  Holy Spirit, uses time to convince you of the inevitability of the
Tx:15.2  teaching. To the ego the goal is death, which is its end. But to the  Holy Spirit the goal is life, which has no end.
Tx:15.8 The  Holy Spirit teaches thus: There is no hell. Hell is only what the ego
Tx:15.8  from understanding the present, because you are afraid of it. The  Holy Spirit leads as steadily to Heaven as the ego drives to hell.
Tx:15.8  leads as steadily to Heaven as the ego drives to hell. For the  Holy Spirit, Who knows only the present, uses it to undo the fear by
Tx:15.9 The  Holy Spirit would undo all of this now. Fear is not of the present
Tx:15.10  it takes no time at all to be what you are. Begin to practice the  Holy Spirit's use of time as a teaching aid to happiness and peace.
Tx:15.10  completely free, and wholly without condemnation. From this  holy instant wherein holiness was born again, you will go forth in
Tx:15.11  lies Heaven. And Heaven will not change, for the birth into the  holy present is salvation from change. Change is an illusion, taught
Tx:15.11  is no change in Heaven because there is no change in God. In the  holy instant in which you see yourself as bright with freedom, you
Tx:15.12  “How long is an instant?” Could you not give so short a time to the  Holy Spirit for your salvation? He asks no more, for He has no need
Tx:15.13 You will never give this  holy instant to the Holy Spirit on behalf of your release while you
Tx:15.13 You will never give this holy instant to the  Holy Spirit on behalf of your release while you are unwilling to give
Tx:15.13  attest to your willingness to be released and to offer time to the  Holy Spirit for His use of it. How long is an instant? It is as short
Tx:15.13  are enslaved by time and thus make time their friend for them. The  Holy Spirit gives their blessed instant to you through your giving
Tx:15.14  you give is your instantaneous escape from guilt. You must be  holy if you offer holiness. How long is an instant? As long as it
Tx:15.15 Time is your friend if you leave it to the  Holy Spirit to use. He needs but very little to restore God's whole
Tx:15.15  in that shining instant of perfect release. Offer the miracle of the  holy instant through the Holy Spirit and leave His giving it to you
Tx:15.15  perfect release. Offer the miracle of the holy instant through the  Holy Spirit and leave His giving it to you to Him.
Tx:15.16  For unless God is bound, you cannot be. An instant offered to the  Holy Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, and in that instant you
Tx:15.16  the blessed instant, you will let go all your past learning, and the  Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the whole lesson of peace. What
Tx:15.17  eternity. Blessed is God's Teacher, Whose joy it is to teach God's  holy Son his holiness. His joy is not contained in time. His teaching
Tx:15.18  uphold its weakness, do not perceive the Source of strength. In the  holy instant, you will unchain all your brothers and refuse to
Tx:15.19  Yet they are far stronger and much more compelling witnesses for the  Holy Spirit. And they support His strength. It is, therefore, your
Tx:15.19  It is, therefore, your choice whether they support the ego or the  Holy Spirit in you. And you will know which you have chosen by their
Tx:15.19  by their reactions. A Son of God who has been released through the  Holy Spirit in a brother, if the release is complete, is always
Tx:15.19  of this, you have not given one single instant completely to the  Holy Spirit. For when you have, you will be sure you have. You will
Tx:15.20  until you hear one witness whom you have wholly released through the  Holy Spirit. And then you will doubt no more. The holy instant has
Tx:15.20  through the Holy Spirit. And then you will doubt no more. The  holy instant has not yet happened to you. Yet it will, and you will
Tx:15.20  recognized in any other way. You can practice the mechanics of the  holy instant and will learn much from doing so. Yet its shining and
Tx:15.21 Start now to practice your little part in separating out the  holy instant. You will receive very specific instructions as you go
Tx:15.25 There is no doubt about what your function is, for the  Holy Spirit knows what it is. There is no doubt about its magnitude,
Tx:15.26  to the ego or host to God?” Let this question be asked you by the  Holy Spirit in you every time you make a decision. For every decision
Tx:15.27  for hell and will bring you awareness of what you decided for. The  Holy Spirit can hold your magnitude, clean of all littleness, clearly
Tx:15.30  and all the little offerings you have given slip into nothingness.  Holy Child of God, when will you learn that only holiness can content
Tx:15.34  only the peace in which He dwells. Lay not littleness before His  holy altar, which rises above the stars and reaches even to Heaven
Tx:15.35  that you would rather delay the recognition that His Will is so. The  holy instant is this one and every one. The one you want it to be it
Tx:15.37  decision to join in any plan but His. I call you to fulfill your  holy part in the plan that He has given to the world for its release
Tx:15.38 Would you learn how perfect and immaculate is the  holy altar on which your Father has placed Himself? This you will
Tx:15.38  which your Father has placed Himself? This you will recognize in the  holy instant in which you willingly and gladly give over every plan
Tx:15.38  you have been willing to meet its conditions. You can claim the  holy instant any time and anywhere you want it. In your practice, try
Tx:15.38  for finding magnitude in littleness. It is not there. Use the  holy instant only to recognize that you alone cannot know where it is
Tx:15.39 I stand within the  holy instant, as clear as you would have me. And the extent to which
Tx:15.39  to be willing to accept me is the measure of the time in which the  holy instant will be yours. I call to you to make the holy instant
Tx:15.39  in which the holy instant will be yours. I call to you to make the  holy instant yours at once, for the release from littleness in the
Tx:15.40 You could live forever in the  holy instant, beginning now and reaching to eternity, but for a very
Tx:15.40  and not to let it go. The simple reason, simply stated, is this: The  holy instant is a time in which you receive and give perfect
Tx:15.41  could do that is to deny the perfect communication that makes the  holy instant what it is. You believe that it is possible to harbor
Tx:15.42  that interferes with it go forever?” If the answer is no, then the  Holy Spirit's readiness to give it to you is not enough to make it
Tx:15.42  it cannot come into a mind that has decided to oppose it. For the  holy instant is given and received with equal willingness, being the
Tx:15.43 The necessary condition for the  holy instant does not require that you have no thoughts which are not
Tx:15.44  not to protect the thoughts you would keep unto yourself. Let the  Holy Spirit's purity shine them away and bring all your awareness to

Tx:15.48  perfect. In His function as Interpreter of what you have made, the  Holy Spirit uses special relationships, which you have chosen to
Tx:15.49 The  Holy Spirit knows no one is special. Yet He also perceives that you
Tx:15.50  which you would substitute for another has not been offered to the  Holy Spirit for His use. There is no substitute for love. If you
Tx:15.52  special relationships, and although this is not so in Heaven, the  Holy Spirit knows how to bring a touch of Heaven to them here. In the
Tx:15.52  Spirit knows how to bring a touch of Heaven to them here. In the  holy instant no one is special, for your personal needs intrude on no
Tx:15.52  Nor would you see any separation between yourself and them. In the  holy instant, you see in each relationship what it will be when you
Tx:15.53  nothing, having always known you exactly as He knows you now. The  holy instant parallels His knowing by bringing all perception out of
Tx:15.53  have built by which to judge your brothers. Once this is gone, the  Holy Spirit substitutes His frame of reference for it. His frame of
Tx:15.53  frame of reference for it. His frame of reference is simply God. The  Holy Spirit's timelessness lies only here. For in the holy instant,
Tx:15.53  God. The Holy Spirit's timelessness lies only here. For in the  holy instant, free of the past, you see that love is in you, and you
Tx:15.54 All your relationships are blessed in the  holy instant because the blessing is not limited. In the holy
Tx:15.54  in the holy instant because the blessing is not limited. In the  holy instant, the Sonship gains as one. And united in your blessing,
Tx:15.54  you have been told to offer miracles as Christ directs and let the  Holy Spirit bring to you those who are seeking you. Yet in the holy
Tx:15.54  the Holy Spirit bring to you those who are seeking you. Yet in the  holy instant, you unite directly with God, and all your brothers join
Tx:15.55  Love. With love in you, you have no need except to extend it. In the  holy instant, there is no conflict of needs, for there is only one.
Tx:15.55  there is no conflict of needs, for there is only one. For the  holy instant reaches to eternity and to the Mind of God. And it is
Tx:15.56  condemn part of a relationship and find peace within it. Under the  Holy Spirit's teaching, all relationships are seen as total
Tx:15.57  as it is in you, or it would be a limited gift to you. In the  holy instant, we share our faith in God's Son because we recognize
Tx:15.60  accepted, and so no one is aware that perfect love is in him. In the  holy instant, you recognize the idea of love in you and unite this
Tx:15.60  relinquish it. By holding it within itself, there was no loss. The  holy instant thus becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your
Tx:15.61 In the  holy instant, the laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning.
Tx:15.62 In the  holy instant, nothing happens that has not always been. Only the veil
Tx:15.62  the light behind it can have faith in love without fear. Yet the  Holy Spirit gives you this faith because He offered it to me and I
Tx:15.62  faith because He offered it to me and I accepted it. Fear not the  holy instant will be denied you, for I denied it not. And through me
Tx:15.62  instant will be denied you, for I denied it not. And through me the  Holy Spirit gave it unto you, as you will give it. Let no need that
Tx:15.62  Let no need that you perceive obscure your need of this. For in the  holy instant, you will recognize the only need the aspects of the Son
Tx:15.64 In the  holy instant God is remembered, and the language of communication
Tx:15.64  is remembered together, as is truth. There is no exclusion in the  holy instant because the past is gone and with it goes the whole
Tx:15.67  open-eyed at this, for ugliness such as this belongs not in your  holy mind. The host of God can have no real investment here.
Tx:15.69  chain that binds the Son of God to guilt, and it is this chain the  Holy Spirit would remove from his holy mind. For the chain of
Tx:15.69  to guilt, and it is this chain the Holy Spirit would remove from his  holy mind. For the chain of savagery belongs not around the chosen
Tx:15.69  closely at the relationships which the ego contrives and let the  Holy Spirit judge them truly. For it is certain that, if you will
Tx:15.75  will feel guilty about communication and will be afraid to hear the  Holy Spirit, recognizing in His voice your own need to communicate.
Tx:15.75  Spirit, recognizing in His voice your own need to communicate. The  Holy Spirit cannot teach through fear. And how can He communicate
Tx:15.77  in communication as surely as damnation lies in guilt. It is the  Holy Spirit's teaching function to instruct those who believe that
Tx:15.77  the power of God in Him and you is joined in real relationship, so  holy and so strong that it can overcome even this without fear. It is
Tx:15.77  that it can overcome even this without fear. It is through the  holy instant that what seems impossible is accomplished, making it
Tx:15.77  is accomplished, making it evident that it is not impossible. In the  holy instant, guilt holds no attraction, since communication has been
Tx:15.79 The  holy instant does not replace the need for learning, for the Holy
Tx:15.79 The holy instant does not replace the need for learning, for the  Holy Spirit must not leave you as your Teacher until the holy instant
Tx:15.79  for the Holy Spirit must not leave you as your Teacher until the  holy instant has extended far beyond time. For a teaching assignment
Tx:15.80  desire with all your hearts. Let us join together in making the  holy instant all that there is by desiring that it be all that there
Tx:15.81  of failure as nothing more than a mistake in who you are. For the  holy host of God is beyond failure, and nothing that he wills can be
Tx:15.81  that he wills can be denied. You are forever in a relationship so  holy that it calls to everyone to escape from loneliness and join you
Tx:15.83 The  Holy Spirit is God's attempt to free you of what He does not
Tx:15.83  And because of the Source of the attempt, it will succeed. The  Holy Spirit asks you to respond as God does, for He would teach you
Tx:15.84 The  Holy Spirit knows that it is not understandable, and yet He
Tx:15.84  of what God cannot know and what you do not understand. It is His  holy function to accept them both, and by removing every element of
Tx:15.85  limit your perception of your brothers to the body, so would the  Holy Spirit release your vision and let you see the Great Rays
Tx:15.85  to God. It is this shift in vision which is accomplished in the  holy instant. Yet it is needful for you to learn just what this shift
Tx:15.87  relationships have no limits, having been established by God. In the  holy instant, where the Great Rays replace the body in awareness, the
Tx:15.89 If you would but let the  Holy Spirit tell you of the love of God for you and the need your
Tx:15.90  vision of God's Son to what interferes with his release and what the  Holy Spirit must undo to set him free. For his belief in limits has
Tx:15.91  and your thoughts will be as free as God's. As you let the  Holy Spirit teach you how to use the body only for purposes of
Tx:15.91  sees in it, you will learn you have no need of a body at all. In the  holy instant there are no bodies, and you experience only the
Tx:15.92  time nor season means anything in eternity. But here it is the  Holy Spirit's function to use them both, though not as the ego uses
Tx:15.92  my birth into the world. Yet you know not how to do it. Let the  Holy Spirit teach you, and let me celebrate your birth through Him.
Tx:15.93 The  holy instant is truly the time of Christ. For in this liberating
Tx:15.94  have offered it to everyone. It is in your power to make this season  holy, for it is in your power to make the time of Christ be now.
Tx:15.102  the host who cradles God in the time of Christ, for the Host is as  holy as the Perfect Innocence which He protects and Whose power
Tx:15.103 This Christmas, give the  Holy Spirit everything that would hurt you. Let yourself be healed
Tx:15.107 In the  holy instant, the condition of love is met, for minds are joined
Tx:15.109 God offers thanks to the  holy host who would receive Him and let Him enter and abide where He
Tx:15.111 I give you to the  Holy Spirit as part of myself. I know that you will be released,
Tx:15.112  There is much to do, and we have been long delayed. Accept the  holy instant as this year is born and take your place, so long left
Tx:15.112  by making it all the same. And let all your relationships be made  holy for you. This is our will. Amen.
Tx:16.1  suffering is shared. The capacity to empathize is very useful to the  Holy Spirit, provided you let Him use it in His way. [His way is very
Tx:16.2  this you may be sure—if you will merely sit quietly by and let the  Holy Spirit relate through you, you will empathize with strength and
Tx:16.7  conflict because they contain an element of specialness. Only the  Holy Spirit recognizes foolish needs as well as real ones. And He
Tx:16.10  everyone. And you have learned that it must include everyone to be  holy. Concern yourselves not with the extension of holiness, for the
Tx:16.13  Sonship as one has been made. When you have made this joining as the  Holy Spirit bids you and have offered it to Him to use as He knows
Tx:16.14  Yet this is your position. You would have perfect faith in the  Holy Spirit and in the effects of His teaching if you were not afraid
Tx:16.19  that makes for happiness. You have never given any problem to the  Holy Spirit He has not solved for you, nor will you ever do so. You
Tx:16.25 Your teaching has already done this, for the  Holy Spirit is part of you. Created by God, He left neither God nor
Tx:16.25  of the Self you do not know. And they communicate to you through the  Holy Spirit, and their power and gratitude to you for their creation
Tx:16.28 To your most  holy Self, all praise is due for what you are and for what He is Who
Tx:16.41  more forget the truth in you than you can fail to remember it. The  Holy Spirit is the bridge to Him, made from your willingness to unite
Tx:16.47  There can be no disagreement on this, because both the ego and the  Holy Spirit accept it. They are, however, in complete disagreement on
Tx:16.47  disagreement on what completion is and how it is accomplished. The  Holy Spirit knows that completion lies first in union and then in the
Tx:16.60  be unable to find you and comfort you. There is a way in which the  Holy Spirit asks your help if you would have His. The holy instant is
Tx:16.60  in which the Holy Spirit asks your help if you would have His. The  holy instant is His most helpful tool in protecting you from the
Tx:16.68  within it. Wait no longer, for the love of God and you. And may the  holy instant speed you on the way, as it will surely do if you but
Tx:16.69 The  Holy Spirit asks only this little help of you. Whenever your thoughts
Tx:16.69  special relationship which still attracts you, enter with Him into a  holy instant and there let Him release you. He needs only your
Tx:16.75 Against the ego's insane notion of salvation, the  Holy Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said before that the
Tx:16.75  ego's insane notion of salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the  holy instant. We said before that the Holy Spirit must teach through
Tx:16.75  Holy Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said before that the  Holy Spirit must teach through comparisons and uses opposites to
Tx:16.75  teach through comparisons and uses opposites to point to truth. The  holy instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed belief in salvation
Tx:16.75  fixed belief in salvation through vengeance for the past. In the  holy instant, it is accepted that the past is gone, and with its
Tx:16.76 For a time you may attempt to bring illusions into the  holy instant to hinder your full awareness of the complete difference
Tx:16.76  of truth and illusion. Yet you will not attempt this long. In the  holy instant, the power of the Holy Spirit will prevail because you
Tx:16.76  will not attempt this long. In the holy instant, the power of the  Holy Spirit will prevail because you joined Him. The illusions you
Tx:16.76  will prevent you from keeping the experience in your mind. Yet the  holy instant is eternal, and your illusions of time will not prevent
Tx:16.77  giving. You will receive because it is His Will to give. He gave the  holy instant to be given you, and it is impossible that you receive
Tx:16.77  it. When He willed that His Son be free, His Son was free. In the  holy instant is His reminder that His Son will always be exactly as
Tx:16.77  His Son will always be exactly as he was created. And everything the  Holy Spirit teaches you is to remind you that you have received what
Tx:16.78  have been forgiven, for it is you who offered them illusions. In the  holy instant, this is done for you in time to bring to you the true
Tx:16.80 Seek and find his message in the  holy instant, where all illusions are forgiven. From there the
Tx:17.7  you will see the Son of God. You will behold the beauty which the  Holy Spirit loves to look upon and which He thanks the Father for. He
Tx:17.13  trembling with readiness to be given you. The eagerness of the  Holy Spirit to give you this is so intense He would not wait,
Tx:17.15  to its power. It is these shadow figures which would make the ego  holy in your sight and teach you what you do to keep it safe is
Tx:17.19  of it and join with fantasies in uninterrupted “bliss.” How can the  Holy Spirit bring His interpretation of the body as a means of
Tx:17.21 The  Holy Spirit wills only to make His resolutions complete and perfect,
Tx:17.23 This is the only part of the relationship the  Holy Spirit sees because He knows that only this is true. You have
Tx:17.25  follows from them comes from what they are and is as true as is the  holy Source from which they came.
Tx:17.26 My  holy brothers, I would enter into all your relationships and step
Tx:17.26  and your goal of madness. Be not separate from me, and let not the  holy purpose of Atonement be lost to you in dreams of vengeance.
Tx:17.28  yet it is possible to make happy. We have said repeatedly that the  Holy Spirit would not deprive you of your special relationships but
Tx:17.28  function you have given them is clearly not to make happy. But the  holy relationship shares God's purpose, rather than aiming to make a
Tx:17.29  the special relationship was the ego's answer to the creation of the  Holy Spirit, Who was God's answer to the separation. For although the
Tx:17.30  system which the ego evolved to protect the separation from the  Holy Spirit was in response to the gift with which God blessed it and
Tx:17.30  within itself the truth about everything. And the truth is that the  Holy Spirit is in close relationship with you because in Him is your
Tx:17.30  to you. The relationship with Him has never been broken because the  Holy Spirit has not been separate from anyone since the separation.
Tx:17.30  from anyone since the separation. And through Him have all your  holy relationships been carefully preserved to serve God's purpose
Tx:17.36 That is why the  holy instant is so important in the defense of truth. The truth
Tx:17.37 The  holy instant is a miniature of Heaven, sent you from Heaven. It is a
Tx:17.37  your willingness to focus all your attention on the picture. The  holy instant is a miniature of eternity. It is a picture of
Tx:17.42  relationship with Him lies in our relationship to one another. The  holy instant shines alike on all relationships, for in it they are
Tx:17.43 The  holy relationship is the expression of the holy instant in living in
Tx:17.43 The holy relationship is the expression of the  holy instant in living in this world. Like everything about
Tx:17.43  in living in this world. Like everything about salvation, the  holy instant is a practical device, witnessed to by its results. The
Tx:17.43  holy instant is a practical device, witnessed to by its results. The  holy instant never fails. The experience of it is always felt. Yet
Tx:17.43  it is always felt. Yet without expression, it is not remembered. The  holy relationship is a constant reminder of the experience in which
Tx:17.43  is a continuing hymn of hate in praise of its maker, so is the  holy relationship a happy song of praise to the Redeemer of
Tx:17.44 The  holy relationship, a major step toward the perception of the real
Tx:17.44  It is the old unholy relationship transformed and seen anew. The  holy relationship is a phenomenal teaching accomplishment. In all its
Tx:17.44  it was. This is the first result of offering the relationship to the  Holy Spirit to use for His purposes.
Tx:17.45 This invitation is accepted immediately, and the  Holy Spirit wastes no time in introducing the practical results of
Tx:17.48  that the rewards of faith are being introduced. If you believed the  Holy Spirit was there to accept the relationship, why would you now
Tx:17.49  Him not now, nor each other. This relationship has been reborn as  holy.
Tx:17.50  explained to you as you perceive its purpose work in it to make it  holy. You will find many opportunities to blame each other for the
Tx:17.52  in joyous echo of your choice. You have joined with many in the  holy instant, and they have joined with you. Think not your choice
Tx:17.52  choice will leave you comfortless, for God Himself has blessed your  holy relationship. Join in His blessing, and withhold not yours upon
Tx:17.53 You undertook together to invite the  Holy Spirit into your relationship. He could not have entered
Tx:17.53  of thanks and gratitude, you make yourselves unable to express the  holy instant, and thus you lose sight of it.
Tx:17.54  But where are you? To give thanks to each other is to appreciate the  holy instant and thus enable its results to be accepted and shared.
Tx:17.54  but to make it powerless in its effects. You have received the  holy instant, but you have established a condition in which you
Tx:17.55 You stand together in the  holy presence of truth itself. Here is the goal, together with you.
Tx:17.56  freely given to each other, you will also accept the effects of the  holy instant and use them to correct all your mistakes and free you
Tx:17.57 The practical application of the  Holy Spirit's purpose is extremely simple, but it is unequivocal. In
Tx:17.57  for this it is apparent that it must be clear. The setting of the  Holy Spirit's goal is general. Now He will work with you to make it
Tx:17.60  is quite noticeable that this approach has brought you closer to the  Holy Spirit's sorting out of truth and falsity. The true becomes what
Tx:17.61  for the ego believes the situation brings the experience. The  Holy Spirit knows that the situation is as the goal determines it and
Tx:17.62  of truth requires faith. Faith is implicit in the acceptance of the  Holy Spirit's purpose, and this faith is all-inclusive. Where the
Tx:17.62  Where the goal of truth is set, there faith must be. The  Holy Spirit sees the situation as a whole. The goal establishes the
Tx:17.67  cannot be seen except through faith, and your relationship was not  holy because your faith in one another was so limited and little.
Tx:17.69  and used your faithlessness against each other. No relationship is  holy unless its holiness goes with it everywhere. As holiness and
Tx:17.70 The power set in you in whom the  Holy Spirit's goal has been established is so far beyond your little
Tx:17.71  You can leave nothing of yourself outside it and keep the situation  holy. For it shares the purpose of your whole relationship and
Tx:17.72  [Truth calls for faith, and faith makes room for truth.] When the  Holy Spirit changed the purpose of your relationship by exchanging
Tx:17.73  loneliness in God must be a dream. You whose relationship shares the  Holy Spirit's goal are set apart from loneliness because the truth
Tx:17.74 The  holy instant is nothing more than a special case or an extreme
Tx:17.74  of what every situation is meant to be. The meaning which the  Holy Spirit's purpose has given it is also given to every situation.
Tx:17.74  and left unused, that faith might answer to the call of truth. The  holy instant is the shining example, the clear and unequivocal
Tx:17.75 This simple courtesy is all the  Holy Spirit asks of you. Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon
Tx:17.76 Would you not want to make a  holy instant of every situation? For such is the gift of faith,
Tx:17.76  faithlessness is laid aside unused. And then the power of the  Holy Spirit's purpose is free to use instead. This power instantly
Tx:18.1  perceive at once how much at variance this is with the goal the  Holy Spirit has given you and would accomplish for you. To substitute
Tx:18.2 The  Holy Spirit never uses substitutes. Where the ego perceives one
Tx:18.2  Where the ego perceives one person as a replacement for another, the  Holy Spirit sees them joined and indivisible. He does not judge
Tx:18.2  separate. Nothing can come between what God has joined and what the  Holy Spirit sees as one. But everything seems to come between the
Tx:18.8  far outside you. And turn you to the stately calm within, where in  holy stillness dwells the living God you never left and Who never
Tx:18.8  dwells the living God you never left and Who never left you. The  Holy Spirit takes you gently by the hand and retraces with you your
Tx:18.9  Within yourselves you love each other with a perfect love. Here is  holy ground in which no substitution can enter and where only the
Tx:18.9  entered here, nor ever will. Here is the radiant truth to which the  Holy Spirit has committed your relationship. Let Him bring it here,
Tx:18.10  are. You are not joined together in illusions but in the Thought so  holy and so perfect that illusions cannot remain to darken the holy
Tx:18.10  so holy and so perfect that illusions cannot remain to darken the  holy place in which you stand together. God is with you, my brothers.
Tx:18.10  join in Him in peace and gratitude and accept His gift as our most  holy and perfect reality, which we share in Him.
Tx:18.11  and His whole creation have entered it together. How lovely and how  holy is your relationship, with the truth shining upon it! Heaven
Tx:18.13 You have been called together to the most  holy function that this world contains. It is the only one which has
Tx:18.13  with healing and uniting comfort. This is offered you in your  holy relationship. Accept it here, and you will give as you have
Tx:18.13  of God is given you with the glowing purpose in which you join. The  holy light that brought you together must extend, as you accepted it.
Tx:18.20 The  Holy Spirit, ever practical in His wisdom, accepts your dreams and
Tx:18.20  your dreams of fear are changed to happy dreams. That is what the  Holy Spirit does in your special relationship. He does not destroy it
Tx:18.21  will be a means for undoing guilt in everyone blessed through your  holy relationship. It will be a happy dream, and one which you will
Tx:18.21  all who come within your sight. Through it, the blessing which the  Holy Spirit has laid upon it will be extended. Think not that He has
Tx:18.23  special relationship meet its conditions. In your relationship, the  Holy Spirit has gently laid the real world—the world of happy
Tx:18.27  was merely the wish to understand. That wish was the desire to be  holy. The Will of God is granted you. For you desire the only thing
Tx:18.28  Your desire is now in complete accord with all the power of the  Holy Spirit's will. No little, faltering footsteps that you may take
Tx:18.29  light and is removed forever. My need for you, joined with me in the  holy light of your relationship, is your need for salvation. Would I
Tx:18.30  in you has been brought to light. Carry it back to darkness from the  holy instant to which you brought it. We are made whole in our desire
Tx:18.32 The  holy instant is the result of your determination to be holy. It is
Tx:18.32 The holy instant is the result of your determination to be  holy. It is the answer. The desire and the willingness to let it come
Tx:18.32  that you realize that you cannot do more. Do not attempt to give the  Holy Spirit what He does not ask, or you will add the ego unto Him
Tx:18.32  who adds the greatness and the might. He joins with you to make the  holy instant far greater than you can understand. It is your
Tx:18.33  why you came. If you could come without them, you would not need the  holy instant. Come to it not in arrogance, assuming that you must
Tx:18.33  must achieve the state its coming brings with it. The miracle of the  holy instant lies in your willingness to let it be what it is. And in
Tx:18.34  than greatness, which comes not of you. Your difficulty with the  holy instant arises from your fixed conviction that you are not
Tx:18.35 The  holy instant does not come from your little willingness alone. It is
Tx:18.36  but merely receive the answer as it is given. In preparing for the  holy instant, do not attempt to make yourself holy to be ready to
Tx:18.36  In preparing for the holy instant, do not attempt to make yourself  holy to be ready to receive it. That is but to confuse your role with
Tx:18.38  will add if you prepare yourself for love. The preparation for the  holy instant belongs to Him Who gives it. Release yourselves to Him
Tx:18.39 It is this that makes the  holy instant so easy and so natural. You make it difficult because
Tx:18.39  that it is not personally insulting that your contribution and the  Holy Spirit's are so extremely disproportionate. You are still
Tx:18.40  it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. If you believe the  holy instant is difficult for you, it is because you have become the
Tx:18.41  between truth and illusion, the Atonement would have no meaning. The  holy instant, your holy relationship, the Holy Spirit's teaching, and
Tx:18.41  the Atonement would have no meaning. The holy instant, your  holy relationship, the Holy Spirit's teaching, and all the means by
Tx:18.41  would have no meaning. The holy instant, your holy relationship, the  Holy Spirit's teaching, and all the means by which salvation is
Tx:18.42 Never approach the  holy instant after you have tried to remove all fear and hatred from
Tx:18.42  function. Never attempt to overlook your guilt before you ask the  Holy Spirit's help. That is His function. Your part is only to offer
Tx:18.43 Through your  holy relationship, reborn and blessed in every holy instant which you
Tx:18.43 Through your holy relationship, reborn and blessed in every  holy instant which you do not arrange, thousands will rise to Heaven
Tx:18.44  for you to understand. You do not even realize you have accepted the  Holy Spirit's purpose as your own, and you would merely bring unholy
Tx:18.45 It is no dream to love your brother as yourself. Nor is your  holy relationship a dream. All that remains of dreams within it is
Tx:18.45  it is still a special relationship. Yet it is very useful to the  Holy Spirit, Who has a special function here. It will become the
Tx:18.46  relationship is threatened by anything, stop instantly and offer the  Holy Spirit your willingness in spite of fear to let Him exchange
Tx:18.46  in spite of fear to let Him exchange this instant for the  holy one which you would rather have. He will never fail in this. But
Tx:18.46  Yet just as this is impossible, so is it equally impossible that the  holy instant come to either of you without the other. And it will
Tx:18.48 I desire this  holy instant for myself that I may share it with my brother, whom I
Tx:18.48  it now. And so I choose this instant as the one to offer to the  Holy Spirit, that His blessing may descend on us and keep us both in
Tx:18.52  function of the body, it cannot change its function from what the  Holy Spirit establishes it to be. The body was not made by love. Yet
Tx:18.55  is the host of God that you have made. And neither God nor His most  holy Son can enter an abode which harbors hate and where you have
Tx:18.61  physical restrictions, you experience much of what happens in the  holy instant; the lifting of the barriers of time and space, the
Tx:18.62  takes place with your desire for it is the irresistible appeal the  holy instant holds. It calls to you to be yourself within its safe
Tx:18.66 It is impossible to accept the  holy instant without reservation unless just for an instant you are
Tx:18.66  against sin. [Enormous effort is expended in the attempt to make  holy what is hated and despised.] Nor is a lifetime of contemplation
Tx:18.67 Your way will be different, not in purpose but in means. A  holy relationship is a means of saving time. One instant spent
Tx:18.69  activity of the body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the  Holy Spirit comes and there abides. He will remain when you forget
Tx:18.79  love with him from Heaven for you. They enter one by one into this  holy place, but they will not depart as they had come, alone. The
Tx:18.80  of Heaven with all the love of its Creator shining upon it. The  holy instant is your invitation to love, to enter into your bleak and
Tx:18.81  no barriers which would interfere with its glad coming. In the  holy instant, you ask of love only what it offers everyone, neither
Tx:18.84  the little thought that seems split off and separate, which the  Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's keeping and needs no
Tx:18.85  Heaven has not lost it, but you have lost sight of Heaven. Let the  Holy Spirit remove it from the withered kingdom in which you set it
Tx:18.85  barricades is still a tiny segment of the Son of God, complete and  holy, serene and unaware of what you think surrounds it. Be you not
Tx:18.87  Yet God can bring you there if you are willing to follow the  Holy Spirit through seeming terror, trusting Him not to abandon you
Tx:18.94  interfere with love, letting it be itself. A step beyond this  holy place [of forgiveness], a step still further inward but the one
Tx:18.97  above the darkness and gently placed before the gates of Heaven. The  holy instant in which you were united is but the messenger of love,
Tx:18.98 And when the memory of God has come to you in the  holy place of forgiveness, you will remember nothing else, and memory
Tx:19.2  And he is healed because you offered faith to him, giving him to the  Holy Spirit and releasing him from every demand your ego would make
Tx:19.2  make of him. Thus do you see him free, and in this vision does the  Holy Spirit share. And since He shares it, He has given it, and so He
Tx:19.4  apart from being healed. Your faithlessness has thus opposed the  Holy Spirit's purpose and brought illusions centered on the body to
Tx:19.11  separate from yours. Each one appears just as he is perceived in the  holy instant, united in your purpose to be released from guilt. You
Tx:19.12  for knowledge as is the real world. For faith arises from the  Holy Spirit's perception and is the sign you share it with Him. Faith
Tx:19.13 Your  holy relationship, with its new purpose, offers you faith to give
Tx:19.13  mind that receives it looks instantly beyond the body and sees the  holy place where it was healed. There is the altar where the grace
Tx:19.14 In the  holy instant, you stand before the altar God has raised unto Himself
Tx:19.15  your little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith help the  Holy Spirit prepare the ground for the most holy garden which He
Tx:19.15  so will faith help the Holy Spirit prepare the ground for the most  holy garden which He would make of it. For faith brings peace, and so
Tx:19.27  perception, for it is sin that calls for punishment, not error. The  Holy Spirit cannot punish sin. Mistakes He recognizes and would
Tx:19.28  help that you would keep unheard and thus unanswered? In time the  Holy Spirit clearly sees the Son of God can make mistakes. On this
Tx:19.32  be split apart and overthrown. For sin would prove what God created  holy could not prevail against it nor remain itself before the power
Tx:19.33  to His and in eternal opposition to Him and to each other. Your  holy relationship has as its purpose now the goal of proving this is
Tx:19.35 In the  holy instant, you will see the smile of heaven shining on both of
Tx:19.35  a union Heaven has smiled upon. Your perception was healed in the  holy instant Heaven gave you. Forget what you have seen and raise
Tx:19.35  you now can see. The barriers to heaven will disappear before your  holy sight, for you who were sightless have been given vision, and
Tx:19.37  them, extending past completely unhindered. The extension of the  Holy Spirit's purpose from your relationship to others to bring them
Tx:19.38  placed before it. This will you do, for nothing undertaken with the  Holy Spirit remains unfinished. You can indeed be sure of nothing you
Tx:19.38  of nothing you see outside you, but of this you can be sure: the  Holy Spirit asks that you offer Him a resting-place where you will
Tx:19.39  are looking where He is and not apart from Him. You cannot see the  Holy Spirit, but you can see your brothers truly. And the light in
Tx:19.39  When the peace in you has been extended to encompass everyone, the  Holy Spirit's function here will be accomplished. What need is there
Tx:19.39  there for seeing then? When God has taken the last step Himself, the  Holy Spirit will gather all your thanks and gratitude which you have
Tx:19.39  Him and lay them gently before His Creator in the name of His most  holy Son. And the Father will accept them in His Name. What need is
Tx:19.42 The  Holy Spirit's purpose rests in peace within you. Yet you are still
Tx:19.43  purpose apart from each other nor apart from the one you asked the  Holy Spirit to share with you. The little wall will fall away so
Tx:19.44  who answered, He Who answered you would call. His home is in your  holy relationship. Do not attempt to stand between Him and His holy
Tx:19.44  your holy relationship. Do not attempt to stand between Him and His  holy purpose, for it is yours. But let Him quietly extend the miracle
Tx:19.46  settle briefly upon anything, for it has no purpose now. Before the  Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it seemed to have a mighty
Tx:19.49  the truth, for there it sees itself, with which it would unite in  holy union and completion. As love must look past fear, so must fear
Tx:19.53 The  Holy Spirit has given you love's messengers to send instead of those
Tx:19.54 If you send forth only the messengers the  Holy Spirit gives you, wanting no messages but theirs, you will see
Tx:19.54  cannot ask love's messengers to remove from it and see it still. The  Holy Spirit has given you His messengers to send to each other and
Tx:19.55  joyous whispering is ever heard. This is a feast which honors your  holy relationship and at which everyone is welcomed as an honored
Tx:19.55  and at which everyone is welcomed as an honored guest. And in a  holy instant, grace is said by everyone together as they join in
Tx:19.61  as murder. Here is the source of the idea that love is fear. The  Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far beyond the body, calling the
Tx:19.61  messengers are sent far beyond the body, calling the mind to join in  holy communion and be at peace. Such is the message that I gave them
Tx:19.62  suffer. Is it a sacrifice to be removed from what can suffer? The  Holy Spirit does not demand you sacrifice the hope of the body's
Tx:19.62  can it bring you fear of pain. Pain is the only “sacrifice” the  Holy Spirit asks, and this He would remove.
Tx:19.63  your Father, not a little mound of clay, to be your home. In your  holy relationship is your Father's Son. He has not lost communion
Tx:19.64  is no obstacle which you can place before our union, for in your  holy relationship, I am there already. We will surmount all obstacles
Tx:19.66 From your  holy relationship truth proclaims the truth, and love looks on
Tx:19.66  which the Father and the Son are joined. Oh come ye faithful to the  holy union of the Father and Son in you! And keep you not apart from
Tx:19.67  teaching freedom to each other and so releasing me. I am within your  holy relationship, yet you would imprison me behind the obstacles you
Tx:19.68 Your little part is but to give the  Holy Spirit the whole idea of sacrifice. And to accept the peace He
Tx:19.73  invested is given by the sender and the receiver. The ego and the  Holy Spirit both recognize this, and both also recognize that here
Tx:19.73  also recognize that here the sender and receiver are the same. The  Holy Spirit tells you this with joy. The ego hides it, for it would
Tx:19.76  and what is offered must also be received to be truly given. For the  Holy Spirit, too, is a communication medium, receiving from the
Tx:19.76  the Father and offering His messages unto the Son. Like the ego, the  Holy Spirit is both the sender and the receiver. For what is sent
Tx:19.77 To you in whose special relationship the  Holy Spirit entered, it is given to release and be released from the
Tx:19.79  dedication is not to death nor to its master. When you accepted the  Holy Spirit's purpose in place of the ego's, you renounced death,
Tx:19.82  the body incorruptible and perfect as long as it is useful for your  holy purpose. The body no more dies than it can feel. It does
Tx:19.86  you. Your newborn purpose is nursed by angels, cherished by the  Holy Spirit, and protected by God Himself. It needs not your
Tx:19.88  with such seeming uncertainty of meaning, judge it not. Remember the  holy Presence of the One given to you to be the Source of judgment.
Tx:19.94  And so it is with this. The desire to get rid of peace and drive the  Holy Spirit from you fades in the presence of the quiet recognition
Tx:19.98  while and tremble not. You will be ready. Let us join together in a  holy instant, here in this place where the purpose given in a holy
Tx:19.98  in a holy instant, here in this place where the purpose given in a  holy instant has led you. And let us join in faith that He Who
Tx:19.102  each of you is one who offers you the chalice of Atonement, for the  Holy Spirit is in him. Would you hold his sins against him or accept
Tx:19.103 Behold your Friend, the Christ Who stands beside you. How  holy and how beautiful He is! You thought He sinned because you cast
Tx:19.104  that you cannot offer to each other and receive from your most  holy Friend. Let him withhold it not, for by receiving it you offer
Tx:19.105 Here is the  holy place of resurrection to which we come again; to which we will
Tx:19.105  is before you would condemn him. And offer thanks to God that he is  holy and has been given the gift of holiness for you. Join him in
Tx:19.106  not separate in death. Behold the gift of freedom that I gave the  Holy Spirit for both of you. And be you free together, as you offer
Tx:19.106  for both of you. And be you free together, as you offer to the  Holy Spirit this same gift. And giving it, receive it of Him in
Tx:19.106  gave. He leadeth you and me together that we might meet here in this  holy place and make the same decision.
Tx:19.110  they have a purpose. Yet it is given you to see this purpose in your  holy Friend and recognize it is your own.
Tx:20.1  of victory and the acceptance of the truth. Let us not spend this  holy week brooding on the crucifixion of God's Son, but happily in
Tx:20.2 This week begins with palms and ends with lilies, the white and  holy sign the Son of God is innocent. Let no dark sign of crucifixion
Tx:20.3  rests on Christ, along with mine. A week is short, and yet this  holy week is the symbol of the whole journey the Son of God has
Tx:20.9  you have asked for and received another sight. Those who accept the  Holy Spirit's purpose as their own share also His vision. And what
Tx:20.10  them not. Nor can you use what I have given unless you share it. The  Holy Spirit's vision is no idle gift, no plaything to be tossed about
Tx:20.11  of illusion that God Himself could give. For what God gave the  Holy Spirit, you have received. The Son of God looks unto you for his
Tx:20.13 Would you not have your  holy brother lead you there? His innocence will light your way,
Tx:20.13  you its guiding light and sure protection, and shining from the  holy altar within him where you laid the lilies of forgiveness. Let
Tx:20.15  and the strength to lead you there. And come before each other's  holy altar where the strength and freedom wait, to offer and receive
Tx:20.17  interference which makes it difficult for you to recognize your  holy relationship for what it is.
Tx:20.18 The  holy do not interfere with truth. They are not afraid of it, for it
Tx:20.21 Who in a  holy relationship can long remain unholy? The world the holy see is
Tx:20.21 Who in a holy relationship can long remain unholy? The world the  holy see is one with them, just as the world the ego looks upon is
Tx:20.21  just as the world the ego looks upon is like itself. The world the  holy see is beautiful because they see their innocence in it. They
Tx:20.22  a purpose, but he will not remain before the shining light the  Holy Spirit offered and you accepted. For there the stranger is made
Tx:20.24  shone in both of you to bless the other? That is the purpose of your  holy relationship. Ask not the means of its attainment of the one
Tx:20.27  will lead the other to the Father as surely as God created His Son  holy and kept him so. In your brother is the light of God's eternal
Tx:20.28  power at all. Power is of God, given by Him and reawakened by the  Holy Spirit, Who knows that as you give, you gain. He gives no power
Tx:20.28  and misery and pain. These things have not occurred because the  Holy Spirit sees them not and gives no power to their seeming source.
Tx:20.28  keep you free of them. Being without illusion of what you are, the  Holy Spirit merely gives everything to God, Who has already given and
Tx:20.29  And so it is with yours. [Salvation is a lesson in giving, as the  Holy Spirit interprets it.] It is the reawakening of the laws of God
Tx:20.33  two by two, yet the beginning of another world goes with them. Each  holy relationship must enter here to learn its special function in
Tx:20.33  relationship must enter here to learn its special function in the  Holy Spirit's plan, now that it shares His purpose. And as this
Tx:20.35  one function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the  Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort.
Tx:20.37 In this world, God's Son comes closest to himself in a  holy relationship. There he begins to find the certainty his Father
Tx:20.38  is the unity of love proclaimed and given welcome. Peace to your  holy relationship, which has the power to hold the unity of the Son
Tx:20.41  is as little use to you as it is to him. When it is used only as the  Holy Spirit teaches, it has no function, for minds need not the body
Tx:20.41  sight that sees the body has no use which serves the purpose of a  holy relationship. And while you look upon each other thus, the means
Tx:20.41  and end have not been brought in line. Why should it take so many  holy instants to let this be accomplished, when one would do? There
Tx:20.42 You look upon each  holy instant as a different point in time. It never changes. All that
Tx:20.44 Be comforted and feel the  Holy Spirit watching over you in love and perfect confidence in what
Tx:20.46 Nothing can show the contrast better than the experience of both a  holy and an unholy relationship. The first is based on love and rests
Tx:20.49 The  Holy Spirit's temple is not a body, but a relationship. The body is
Tx:20.49  in its idolatry. Here it is “safe,” for here love cannot enter. The  Holy Spirit does not build His temples where love can never be. Would
Tx:20.50 You cannot make the body the  Holy Spirit's temple, and it will never be the seat of love. It is
Tx:20.51  Your temple is not threatened. You are idolaters no longer. The  Holy Spirit's purpose lies safe in your relationship and not your
Tx:20.51  have escaped the body. Where you are the body cannot enter, for the  Holy Spirit has set His temple there.
Tx:20.53  Is this the substitute you want for the eternal blessing of the  holy instant and its unlimited beneficence? Is the malevolence of the
Tx:20.53  and so invested in a false attraction, your preference to the  holy instant which offers you peace and understanding? Then lay aside
Tx:20.53  transcend it, rising to welcome what you really want. And from His  holy temple, look you not back on what you have awakened from. For no
Tx:20.54 The  holy relationship reflects the true relationship the Son of God has
Tx:20.54  true relationship the Son of God has with his Father in reality. The  Holy Spirit rests within it in the certainty it will endure forever.
Tx:20.54  to its own. Here the unholy instant is exchanged in gladness for the  holy one of safe return. Here is the way to true relationships held
Tx:20.56  body or let himself be given freedom from it. Here he can accept the  holy instant, offered him to replace the unholy one he chose before.
Tx:20.56  learning this may still be fearful, but you are not immobilized. The  holy instant is of greater value now to you than its unholy seeming
Tx:20.58  of means and end and how these must be brought in line before your  holy relationship can bring you only joy. But we have also said the
Tx:20.58  can bring you only joy. But we have also said the means to meet the  Holy Spirit's goal will come from the same Source as does His
Tx:20.60 To obtain the goal, the  Holy Spirit indeed asked little. He asks no more to give the means as
Tx:20.65  body is the sign that you lack vision and have denied the means the  Holy Spirit offers you to serve His purpose. How can a holy
Tx:20.65  the means the Holy Spirit offers you to serve His purpose. How can a  holy relationship achieve its purpose through the means of sin?
Tx:20.65  it cannot look on sin. And thus it leads you to reality. Your  holy brother, sight of whom is your release, is no illusion. Attempt
Tx:20.66  not that his sinlessness is your escape from fear. Salvation is the  Holy Spirit's goal. The means is vision. For what the seeing look
Tx:20.67  it was lost to you through your desire for something else. Open the  holy place which you closed off by valuing the “something else,” and
Tx:20.68  you not willingly be free of misery and learn again of joy? Your  holy relationship offers all this to you. As it was given you, so
Tx:20.68  this to you. As it was given you, so will be its effects. And as its  holy purpose was not made by you, the means by which its happy end is
Tx:20.69  sinlessness is given you in shining light, to look on with the  Holy Spirit's vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace will
Tx:20.69  for it with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the  Holy Spirit and at one with Him on what salvation is. Be willing,
Tx:20.70 The  Holy Spirit guarantees that what God willed and gave you shall be
Tx:20.70  as you look upon each other, you will see an altar to your Father,  holy as Heaven, glowing with radiant purity and sparkling with the
Tx:20.70  can the engine of destruction be preferred and chosen to replace the  holy home the Holy Spirit offers, where He will dwell with you?
Tx:20.70  of destruction be preferred and chosen to replace the holy home the  Holy Spirit offers, where He will dwell with you?
Tx:20.72  before you. All that could save you, you will never see. Your  holy relationship, the source of your salvation, will be deprived of
Tx:20.72  source of your salvation, will be deprived of meaning, and its most  holy purpose bereft of means for its accomplishment.
Tx:20.76  at all or merely judged against. Vision is the means by which the  Holy Spirit translates your nightmares into happy dreams; your wild
Tx:21.1  is meaningless. Everything looked upon with vision is healed and  holy. Nothing perceived without it means anything. And where there is
Tx:21.13  relationship transformed to joy; the little gift you offer to the  Holy Spirit for which He gives you everything; the very little on
Tx:21.17  decide for God for you. This is the little gift you offer to the  Holy Spirit, and even this He gave to you to give yourself. For by
Tx:21.18  you see goes with it. Never was so much given for so little. In the  holy instant is this exchange effected and maintained. Here is the
Tx:21.22 The  Holy Spirit can give you faith in holiness and vision to see it
Tx:21.23  upon them, and what is really there you cannot fail to see. The  holy instant is not an instant of creation but of recognition. For
Tx:21.29  from the accepted purpose of the relationship. And that is why the  Holy Spirit must change its purpose to make it useful to Him and
Tx:21.32  the means by which the goal of holiness is reached. Through them the  Holy Spirit leads you to the real world and away from all illusions
Tx:21.34 The  Holy Spirit has a use for all the means for sin by which you sought
Tx:21.34  you might choose among your brothers and seek for sin with them. The  Holy Spirit sees perception as a means to teach you that the vision
Tx:21.34  Spirit sees perception as a means to teach you that the vision of a  holy relationship is all you want to see. Then will you give your
Tx:21.37 Those who believe in sin must think the  Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they think their
Tx:21.37  this is how they think their purpose is accomplished. Brothers, the  Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice brings nothing. He makes no
Tx:21.39 Think you the  Holy Spirit is concerned with this? He gives not what it is His
Tx:21.40  looked upon quite differently. You can have faith in it to serve the  Holy Spirit's goal and give it power to serve as means to help the
Tx:21.41 The  Holy Spirit will never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will
Tx:21.43  themselves from their belief that their identity lies in the ego. A  holy relationship is one in which you join with what is part of you
Tx:21.44  And what your reason tells you now, the ego would not hear. The  Holy Spirit's purpose was accepted by the part of your mind the ego
Tx:21.44  knows no sin. How, otherwise, could it have been willing to see the  Holy Spirit's purpose as its own?
Tx:21.45  you. And now you recognize that it was not the ego that joined the  Holy Spirit's purpose, and so there must be something else. Think not
Tx:21.46 There is no inconsistency in what the  Holy Spirit teaches. This is the reasoning of the sane. You have
Tx:21.53  you now, being eternal. You must have set aside a place in which the  Holy Spirit can abide and where He is. He must have been there since
Tx:21.55  and you have gone past this. Reason is a means which serves the  Holy Spirit's purpose in its own right. It is not reinterpreted and
Tx:21.57  in union with your Father's to the undoing of insanity. Here was the  Holy Spirit's purpose accepted and accomplished both at once. Reason
Tx:21.66  in order to escape from reason. What madness would conceal, the  Holy Spirit still holds out for everyone to look upon with gladness.
Tx:21.82  asks if you are willing to exchange the world of sin for what the  Holy Spirit sees, since it is this the world of sin denies. And
Tx:21.90 What is the  holy instant but God's appeal to you to recognize what He has given
Tx:22.3 A  holy relationship starts from a different premise. Each one has
Tx:22.4 Think what a  holy relationship can teach! Here is belief in differences undone.
Tx:22.4  circle where you recognize the Son of God. For what is born into a  holy relationship can never end.
Tx:22.11 So in each  holy relationship is the ability to communicate instead of separate
Tx:22.11  is the ability to communicate instead of separate reborn. Yet a  holy relationship, so recently reborn itself from an unholy
Tx:22.12 Think what is given you, my  holy brothers. This child will teach you what you do not understand
Tx:22.14  to deny illusions is to recognize that fear is meaningless. Into the  holy home, where fear is powerless, love enters thankfully, grateful
Tx:22.15  For He is always drawn unto Himself. What is as like Him as a  holy relationship? And what draws you together draws Him to you. Here
Tx:22.15  drawn to Christ is drawn to God as surely as both are drawn to every  holy relationship, the home prepared for them as earth is turned to
Tx:22.20  Therefore, says reason, if escape from guilt was given to the  Holy Spirit as His purpose, and by One to Whom nothing He wills can
Tx:22.21  the ego must be made complete. For if you have the means to let the  Holy Spirit's purpose be accomplished, they can be used. And through
Tx:22.26  for what he is if God would have it so. What God has given to your  holy relationship is there. For what He gave the Holy Spirit to give
Tx:22.26  has given to your holy relationship is there. For what He gave the  Holy Spirit to give to you, He gave. Would you not look upon the
Tx:22.27  it from the bright endless circle that extends forever is your  holy relationship, beloved of God Himself. How still it rests, in
Tx:22.27  home with vision that overlooks the world. Would you not have this  holy home be yours as well? No misery is here, but only joy.
Tx:22.28  the home of perfect purity, and God created it for you. Look on your  holy brother, sinless as yourself, and let him lead you there.
Tx:22.37 A  holy relationship, however newly born, must value holiness above all
Tx:22.37  as causing sin by his desire to have sin real. Yet reason sees a  holy relationship as what it is—a common state of mind, where both
Tx:22.40 And so you stand, here in this  holy place, before the veil of sin that hangs between you and the
Tx:22.40  from them into a darkened world that needs the light. And from this  holy place He will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You will
Tx:22.44  it, he learned it was not given him alone. Such is the function of a  holy relationship—to receive together and give as you received.
Tx:22.44  It is no solid wall. And only an illusion stands between you and the  holy Self you share.
Tx:22.46  Belief in sin needs great defense and at enormous cost. All that the  Holy Spirit offers must be defended against and sacrificed. For sin
Tx:22.52  Yet even in this confusion, so profound it cannot be described, the  Holy Spirit waits in gentle patience, as certain of the outcome as He
Tx:22.54 This  holy relationship, lovely in its innocence, mighty in strength, and
Tx:22.54  to it can be misused, and nothing given it but will be used. This  holy relationship has the power to heal all pain, regardless of its
Tx:22.55 Before a  holy relationship there is no sin. The form of error is no longer
Tx:22.56  laid in Heaven through himself? The gentle service that you give the  Holy Spirit is service to yourself. You who are now His means must
Tx:22.58  and only this.] Accept this one and serve it willingly, for what the  Holy Spirit does with the gifts you give each other, to whom He
Tx:22.59  what your Father loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness is the  Holy Spirit's function. Leave this to Him. Let your concern be only
Tx:22.63  conclude because you can attack you must be different. Yet does the  Holy Spirit explain this differently. Because you are not different,
Tx:22.64 This is the function of your  holy relationship. For what one thinks the other will experience with
Tx:23.15  And you who are beloved of Him are no illusions, being as true and  holy as Himself.
Tx:23.16  of you, who dwell as one and not apart. Open the door of His most  holy home and let forgiveness sweep away all trace of the belief in
Tx:23.16  everything is given those who would remember Him. Over His home the  Holy Spirit watches, sure that its peace can never be disturbed.
Tx:23.17  The altar disappears, the light grows dim, the temple of the  Holy One becomes a house of sin. And nothing is remembered except
Tx:23.50  your relationship is like the love of God. It cannot yet assume the  holy function God gave His Son, for your forgiveness of one another
Tx:23.50  and the miracles you have the power to extend to all. Yet does the  Holy Spirit understand how to increase your little gifts and make
Tx:24.15  you really are, how can you know the truth? What answer that the  Holy Spirit gives can reach you, when it is your specialness to which
Tx:24.20  and His Heaven so remote that they cannot be reached. Here in this  holy place does truth stand waiting to receive you both in silent
Tx:24.25 The key you threw away God gave your brother, whose  holy hands would offer it to you when you were ready to accept His
Tx:24.31  malice of one thought of specialness to mar your rest. Forgive the  Holy One the specialness He could not give and which you made instead.
Tx:24.47  and seek salvation in a war with love, consider this: the  holy Lord of Heaven has Himself come down to you to offer you your
Tx:24.52  of God's Son is all the world is for. That is the only purpose the  Holy Spirit sees in it and thus the only one it has. Until you see
Tx:24.66  as safely as itself. Nor will that light go out when it is gone. Its  holy purpose gave it immortality, setting another light in Heaven,
Tx:24.67  till you go past learning to the Given; not till you make again a  holy home for your creations is it understood.
Tx:25.4  through the mind at one with Him. And you are manifest unto your  holy brother, as he to you. Here is the meeting of the holy Christ
Tx:25.4  unto your holy brother, as he to you. Here is the meeting of the  holy Christ unto Himself; nor are any differences perceived to stand
Tx:25.8  may reach to you through what you understand. Father and Son and  Holy Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join as one in truth.
Tx:25.8  understanding in the part of you that shares His Father's Will. The  Holy Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad desire to be separate,
Tx:25.9 The  Holy Spirit serves Christ's purpose in your mind, so that the aim of
Tx:25.9  perceived as one, aware that it is one and so experienced. It is the  Holy Spirit's function to teach you how this oneness is experienced,
Tx:25.17 The  Holy Spirit is the frame God set around the part of Him that you
Tx:25.21  and giving it you learn to understand His gift to you. And give the  Holy Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the Son alike. Nothing
Tx:25.30  must have been wrong. And thus is change made possible. The  Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far beyond the chance of change.
Tx:25.46 Such is the  Holy Spirit's kind perception of specialness—His use of what you
Tx:25.47  is the only function meaningful in time. It is the means the  Holy Spirit uses to translate specialness from sin into salvation.
Tx:25.49 The  Holy Spirit needs your special function that His may be fulfilled.
Tx:25.49  salvation easily and well. The Son of God can make no choice the  Holy Spirit cannot employ on his behalf and not against himself. Only
Tx:25.50 And if the  Holy Spirit can commute each sentence that you laid upon yourself
Tx:25.54 The  Holy Spirit has the power to change the whole foundation of the world
Tx:25.61  the rock on which salvation rests, the vantage point from which the  Holy Spirit gives meaning and direction to the plan in which your
Tx:25.63 The  Holy Spirit can use all that you give to Him for your salvation. But
Tx:25.67  and denies that it is real. It is impossible for you to share the  Holy Spirit's justice with a mind that can conceive of specialness at
Tx:25.67  hard for those who still believe sin meaningful to understand the  Holy Spirit's justice.
Tx:25.68  that their own belief in justice must entail. And so they fear the  Holy Spirit and perceive the “wrath” of God in Him. [They are unjust
Tx:25.69  they think the loss of sin a curse. And flee [the blessing of] the  Holy Spirit as if He were a messenger from hell sent from above in
Tx:25.74 As specialness cares not who pays the cost of sin, so it be paid, the  Holy Spirit heeds not who looks on innocence at last, provided it is
Tx:25.74  if he sees truly. Simple justice asks no more. Of each one does the  Holy Spirit ask if he will be that one, so justice may return to love
Tx:25.75  which you need comes not of you but from a larger Self, so great and  holy that He could not doubt His innocence. Your special function is
Tx:25.75  sinlessness He shares. His understanding will be yours. And so the  Holy Spirit's special function has been fulfilled. God's Son has
Tx:25.75  unto his sinlessness and not his sin. How little need you give the  Holy Spirit that simple justice may be given you!
Tx:25.76  must be an injustice to them both, since they are equal in the  Holy Spirit's sight. Their Father gave the same inheritance to both.
Tx:25.77  eternal, joyous and complete in every way, as God appointed for His  holy Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy
Tx:25.77  for His holy Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the  Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your special function shows you nothing
Tx:25.80 Be certain any answer to a problem the  Holy Spirit solves will always be one in which no one loses. And this
Tx:25.80  it greater, harder to resolve, and more unfair. It is impossible the  Holy Spirit could see unfairness as a resolution. To Him, what is
Tx:25.81  sight of innocence makes punishment impossible and justice sure. The  Holy Spirit's perception leaves no ground for an attack. Only a loss
Tx:25.82  problem added to the first, in which the murder is not obvious. The  Holy Spirit's problem solving is the way in which the problem ends.
Tx:25.82  but as God knows it, and as knowledge is reflected in the sight the  Holy Spirit gives.
Tx:25.84  God's Son be more unfair than he has sought to be. If miracles, the  Holy Spirit's gift, were given specially to an elect and special
Tx:25.84  gift of healing and deliverance and peace. To give a problem to the  Holy Spirit to solve for you means that you want it solved. To keep
Tx:26.6  its reality. Nor can you lose what you would sacrifice nor keep the  Holy Spirit from His task of showing you that it has not been lost.
Tx:26.7  make your eyes and ears bear witness to the death of God and of His  holy Son, think not that you have power to make of them what God
Tx:26.9  you back the gift of freedom by receiving it of you. What is the  Holy Spirit's special function but to release the holy Son of God
Tx:26.9  you. What is the Holy Spirit's special function but to release the  holy Son of God from the imprisonment he made to keep himself from
Tx:26.10 It is not difficult to understand the reasons why you do not ask the  Holy Spirit to solve all problems for you. He has not greater
Tx:26.11 The  Holy Spirit offers you release from every problem that you think you
Tx:26.13  It does injustice to the Son of God and therefore is not true. The  Holy Spirit does not evaluate injustices as great or small or more or
Tx:26.15  you call forth will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor will the  Holy Spirit be content until it is received by everyone. For what you
Tx:26.16  will not want. And you will see each little hurt resolved before the  Holy Spirit's gentle sight. For all of them are little in His sight
Tx:26.27 The  holy place on which you stand is but the space that sin has left. And
Tx:26.33  you who still believe you live in time and know not it is gone, the  Holy Spirit still guides you through the infinitely small and
Tx:26.73  the working out can seem to take forever. The change of purpose the  Holy Spirit brought to your relationship has in it all effects that
Tx:26.74  of pain. This is a sacrifice of now, which could not be the cost the  Holy Spirit asks for what He gave without a cost at all.
Tx:26.76  because its form is changed and what it is cannot be recognized. The  Holy Spirit's purpose now is yours. Should not His happiness be yours
Tx:26.77 Think but how  holy you must be from whom the Voice for God calls lovingly unto your
Tx:26.77  may awake in him the Voice that answers to your call! And think how  holy he must be when in him sleeps your own salvation with his
Tx:26.78  you trade Them for an ancient hate? The ground whereon you stand is  holy ground because of Them Who, standing there with you, have
Tx:26.79  hate has wrought have They undone. And now you stand on ground so  holy Heaven leans to join with it and make it like itself. The shadow
Tx:26.84  and the Son return to what is Theirs and will forever be. Now is the  Holy Spirit's purpose done. For They have come! For They have come at
Tx:26.89  And this you seek to add unto the purpose given it. The  Holy Spirit's purpose is to let the Presence of your holy Guests be
Tx:26.89  given it. The Holy Spirit's purpose is to let the Presence of your  holy Guests be known to you. And to this purpose, nothing can be
Tx:26.89  on it by rendering it purposeless, without the function that the  Holy Spirit sees. And simple justice has been thus denied to every
Tx:26.90  without a purpose in a futile world. The world is fair because the  Holy Spirit has brought injustice to the light within, and there has
Tx:27.3  you offer him you show yourself and give it all your faith. The  Holy Spirit offers you to give to him a picture of yourself in which
Tx:27.5  perceived and loved. Now in the hands made gentle by His touch, the  Holy Spirit lays a picture of a different you. It is a picture of a
Tx:27.10  a picture of the proof that what your function is can never be! The  Holy Spirit's picture changes not the body into something it is not.
Tx:27.12  This thing without a purpose cannot hide the function that the  Holy Spirit gave. Let, then, its purpose and your function both be
Tx:27.20 The “cost” of your serenity is his. This is the “price” the  Holy Spirit and the world interpret differently. The world perceives
Tx:27.20  as a statement of the “fact” that your salvation sacrifices his. The  Holy Spirit knows your healing is the witness unto his and cannot be
Tx:27.21  to prevent a shift of balance in the sacrifice. How could the  Holy Spirit be deterred an instant, even less, to reason with an
Tx:27.24  perceive correction is the same as pardon, then you also know the  Holy Spirit's mind and yours are one. And so your own Identity is
Tx:27.26  his presence is perceived as all of you. To this remaining half the  Holy Spirit must represent the other half until you recognize it is
Tx:27.27  which cannot be shared, and so it cannot be the function which the  Holy Spirit sees as His. And you can rest assured that He will not
Tx:27.33  the means by which the truth is represented temporarily. It lets the  Holy Spirit make exchange of pictures possible until the time when
Tx:27.37  state of mind in which the answer is already there. Such is the  holy instant. It is here that all your problems should be brought and
Tx:27.38 Attempt to solve no problems but within the  holy instant's surety. For there the problem will be answered and
Tx:27.41  not want an honest answer where the conflict ends. Only within the  holy instant can an honest question honestly be asked. And from the
Tx:27.42  is preserved intact because it gave the answer to itself. The  holy instant is the interval in which the mind is still enough to
Tx:27.43  another question, though they leave the first unanswered. In the  holy instant, you can bring the question to the answer and receive
Tx:27.44  what he does not have? And who can share what he denies himself? The  Holy Spirit speaks to you. He does not speak to someone else. Yet by
Tx:27.46 The  holy instant is the miracle's abiding-place. From there each one is
Tx:27.47 What stands apart from you when you accept the blessing that the  holy instant brings? Be not afraid of blessing, for the One Who
Tx:27.48 Come to the  holy instant and be healed, for nothing that is there received is
Tx:27.48  will accuse, but shine in thanks to you who blessing gave. The  holy instant's radiance will light your eyes and give them sight to
Tx:27.54  It is a loud, obscuring voice whose shrieks would silence what the  Holy Spirit says and keep His words from your awareness. Pain compels
Tx:27.56  he represents. And otherwise he lies, if you should call him by the  holy Name of God Himself.
Tx:27.61  happiness, that you may demonstrate the healing of the world. The  holy instant will replace all sin if you but carry its effects with
Tx:27.74 Rest in the  Holy Spirit and allow His gentle dreams to take the place of those
Tx:27.75 Dream softly of your sinless brother, who unites with you in  holy innocence. And from this dream, the Lord of Heaven will Himself
Tx:27.85 In gentle laughter does the  Holy Spirit perceive the cause and looks not to effects. How else
Tx:27.85  removed. Perhaps you come in tears, but hear Him say, “My brother,  Holy Son of God, behold your idle dream in which this could occur,”
Tx:27.85  your idle dream in which this could occur,” and you will leave the  holy instant with your laughter and your brother's joined with His.
Tx:27.87 The  Holy Spirit will repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance
Tx:28.3  memory, which is not used to interfere with truth. All things the  Holy Spirit can employ for healing have been given Him, without the
Tx:28.4 The  Holy Spirit can indeed make use of memory, for God Himself is there.
Tx:28.5 The  Holy Spirit's use of memory is quite apart from time. He does not
Tx:28.8 This is the Cause the  Holy Spirit has remembered for you, when you would forget. It is not
Tx:28.25 Like every lesson which the  Holy Spirit requests you learn, the miracle is clear. It demonstrates
Tx:28.43 The  Holy Spirit is in both your minds, and He is One because there is no
Tx:28.43  space between them vacant. And the Father comes to join His Son the  Holy Spirit joined.
Tx:28.44 The  Holy Spirit's function is to take the broken picture of the Son of
Tx:28.44  picture of the Son of God and put the pieces into place again. This  holy picture, healed entirely, does He hold out to every separate
Tx:28.45  to close each little gap that lies between the broken pieces of Your  holy Son. Your holiness, complete and perfect, lies in every one of
Tx:28.45  them. And they are joined because what is in one is in them all. How  holy is the smallest grain of sand when it is recognized as being
Tx:28.66  it can be used to liberate God's Son unto his home. And with this  holy purpose is it made a home of holiness a little while because it
Tx:29.13  because your Guest will welcome everyone whose feet have touched the  holy ground whereon you stand and where His gifts for them are laid.
Tx:29.24 How  holy are you, that the Son of God can be your savior in the midst of
Tx:29.29  of him, and there is no betrayal but of this. The core of dreams the  Holy Spirit gives is never one of fear. The coverings may not appear
Tx:29.32  can intrude upon the sacred Son of God within. Here is the role the  Holy Spirit gives to you who wait upon the Son of God and would
Tx:29.36  Why does it seem so hard to share this dream? Because unless the  Holy Spirit gives the dream its function, it was made for hate and
Tx:29.39 Swear not to die, you  holy Son of God! You make a bargain that you cannot keep. The Son of
Tx:29.50  of idols in a world made sad and sick by seeing idols there. Your  holy minds are altars unto God, and where He is, no idols can abide.
Tx:29.60  but laugh if idols could intrude upon his peace. It is for him the  Holy Spirit speaks and tells you idols have no purpose here. For more
Tx:29.61  no life and seek for power in the powerless. What happened to the  holy Son of God that this could be his wish—to let himself fall
Tx:30.33 Do you not understand that to oppose the  Holy Spirit is to fight yourself? He tells you but your will; He
Tx:30.37  the world is given freedom. Nor can you be free apart from Him Whose  holy will you share. God turns to you to ask the world be saved, for
Tx:30.42  He has no need to seek for it at all. Beyond all idols stands his  holy will to be but what he is. For more than whole is meaningless.
Tx:30.48  own. The star shines still; the sky has never changed. But you, the  holy Son of God Himself, are unaware of your reality.
Tx:30.82  it cannot be that meaning changes constantly and yet is true. The  Holy Spirit looks upon the world as with one purpose, changelessly
Tx:30.87  while the symbols which are used mean different things? The  Holy Spirit's goal gives one interpretation, meaningful to you and to
Tx:31.4  from the first accomplishment of learning—an enormity so great the  Holy Spirit's Voice seems small and still before its magnitude. The
Tx:31.5  for their learning is the only purpose for your learning skill the  Holy Spirit sees in all the world. His simple lessons in forgiveness
Tx:31.22  hear a call that never has been made. Nothing will hurt you in this  holy place to which you come to listen silently and learn the truth
Tx:31.50  beyond its roads nor realize the way you see yourself. Now must the  Holy Spirit find a way to help you see this concept of the self must
Tx:31.51 Thus are the  Holy Spirit's lesson plans arranged in easy steps that though there
Tx:31.53  self. And both would go if either one were ever raised to doubt. The  Holy Spirit does not seek to throw you into panic. So He merely asks
Tx:31.62  the Spirit, and all Heaven bends to touch your eyes and bless your  holy sight, that you may see the world of flesh no more except to
Tx:31.67  And what could hurt the truly innocent? Your will be done, you  holy Child of God. It does not matter if you think you are in earth
Tx:31.75  hell. And to each one has He allowed the grace to be a savior to the  holy ones especially entrusted to his care. And this he learns when
Tx:31.77  because a partial savior would be one who is but partly saved. The  holy ones whom God has given each of you to save are everyone you
Tx:31.78  while you see him apart from yours? For holiness is seen through  holy eyes that look upon the innocence within and thus expect to see
Tx:31.83  teach in all its forms wherever it occurs. It would persuade the  holy Son of God he is a body, born in what must die, unable to escape
Tx:31.88  of Christ is powerless before His majesty and disappears before His  holy sight. The saviors of the world who see like Him are merely
Tx:31.95 I thank You, Father, for these  holy ones who are my brothers as they are Your Sons. My faith in them
Tx:31.95  because You gave it me on their behalf. And as I would but do Your  holy Will, so will they choose. And I give thanks for them.
W1:29.3  Would you know what is in them? Nothing is as it appears to you. Its  holy purpose stands beyond your little range. When vision has shown
W1:35.9 But my mind is part of God's. I am very  holy.
W1:36.1  the idea for yesterday from the perceiver to the perceived. You are  holy because your mind is part of God's. And because you are holy,
W1:36.1  You are holy because your mind is part of God's. And because you are  holy, your sight must be holy as well. “Sinless” means without sin.
W1:36.1  mind is part of God's. And because you are holy, your sight must be  holy as well. “Sinless” means without sin. You cannot be without sin
W1:37.1  nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your  holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because it offers
W1:38.2  anyone because it is equal in its power to save anyone. If you are  holy, so is everything God created. You are holy because all things
W1:38.2  save anyone. If you are holy, so is everything God created. You are  holy because all things He created are holy. And all things He
W1:38.2  God created. You are holy because all things He created are  holy. And all things He created are holy because you are.

W1:43.2  holiness to his awareness. Perception has no meaning. Yet does the  Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God's. Healed perception
W1:43.3  vision is real, and it is real to the extent to which it shares the  Holy Spirit's purpose, then you cannot see apart from God.
W1:44.8  to you, and an awareness that you are attempting something very  holy. Salvation is your happiest accomplishment. It is also the only
W1:50.4  and surety. Let no idle and foolish thoughts enter to disturb the  holy mind of the Son of God. Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is
W1:57.6 [35] My mind is part of God's. I am very  holy. As I share the peace of the world with my brothers, I begin to
W1:63.1 How  holy are you who have the power to bring peace to every mind! How
W1:64.2  was the purpose of the body itself. Yet we have learned that the  Holy Spirit has another use for all the illusions you have made, and
W1:64.2  you have made, and therefore He sees another purpose in them. To the  Holy Spirit, the world is a place where you learn to forgive yourself
W1:64.6  from just this one simple choice. That is the only choice the  Holy Spirit sees. Therefore it is the only choice there is.
W1:65.4  long range disciplinary training which your mind needs, so that the  Holy Spirit can use it consistently for the purpose He shares with
W1:66.2 The ego does constant battle with the  Holy Spirit on the fundamental question of what your function is. So
W1:66.2  of what your function is. So does it do constant battle with the  Holy Spirit about what your happiness is. It is not a two-way battle.
W1:66.2  happiness is. It is not a two-way battle. The ego attacks and the  Holy Spirit does not respond. He knows what your function is. He

W1:66.9  but the fear which the ego always engenders and the love which the  Holy Spirit always offers to replace it.
W1:66.12  the ego ever proposed. Yet the ego is the only alternative to the  Holy Spirit's Voice. You will listen to madness or hear the truth.
W1:67.3 Holiness created me  holy. Kindness created me kind. Helpfulness created me helpful.
W1:75.9  that your forgiveness entitles you to vision. Understand that the  Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving.
W1:77.6 The  Holy Spirit cannot but assure you that your request is granted. The

W1:78.6  enemy is more than friend when he is freed to take the holy role the  Holy Spirit has assigned to him. Let him be savior unto you today.
W1:78.8  in the light of true forgiveness given unto us. We ask Him in the  holy Name of God and of His Son, as holy as Himself:
W1:78.8  given unto us. We ask Him in the holy Name of God and of His Son, as  holy as Himself:
W1:78.9  one You have appointed as the one for me to ask to lead me to the  holy light In which he stands, that I may join with him.
W1:78.10  long for this. He would be free and make his freedom yours. The  Holy Spirit leans from him to you, seeing no separation in God's Son.
W1:78.11  No dark grievances obscure the sight of him. You have allowed the  Holy Spirit to express through him the role God gave Him that you
W1:78.11  you laid your images aside and looked upon the miracle of love the  Holy Spirit showed you in their place. The world and Heaven join in
W1:80.2  You have recognized your only problem, opening the way for the  Holy Spirit to give you God's answer. You have laid deception aside
W1:81.2 [61] I am the light of the world. How  holy am I, who have been given the function of lighting up the world!
W1:89.5  replace all grievances. By this idea do I unite my will with the  Holy Spirit's and perceive them as one. By this idea do I accept my
W1:90.5  with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. The  Holy Spirit will teach me this if I will let Him. And I will
W1:91.9 If you are not a body, what are you? You need to be aware of what the  Holy Spirit uses to replace the image of a body in your mind. You
W1:93.4  done, that all your “sins” are nothing, that you are as pure and  holy as you were created, and that light and joy and peace abide in
W1:95.9 The  Holy Spirit is not delayed in His teaching by your mistakes. He can
W1:95.17  with all there is and all that there will be. You are One Self, the  holy Son of God, united with your brothers in this Self, united with
W1:95.18  cast all your illusions out of the One Mind which is this Self, the  holy truth in you.
W1:96.8  and they remain within your mind and in the Mind of God. The  Holy Spirit holds salvation in your mind and offers it the way to
W1:97.2 We state again the truth about your Self, the  holy Son of God who rests in you whose mind has been restored to
W1:97.6 The  Holy Spirit will be glad to take five minutes of each hour from your
W1:97.8 Begin these happy exercises with the words the  Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them echo round the world through
W1:97.9 Spirit am I, a  holy Son of God, free of all limits, safe and healed and whole, free
W1:97.10 Expressed through you, the  Holy Spirit will accept this gift which you received of Him, increase
W1:97.12  if you yield to the belief that you are something else. The  Holy Spirit gives you peace today. Receive His words, and offer them
W1:99.5 The  Holy Spirit holds this plan of God exactly as it was received of Him
W1:99.5  in time because of your belief that time is real. Unshaken does the  Holy Spirit look on what you see—on sin and pain and death, on
W1:104.2  all meaningless and self-made gifts which we have placed upon the  holy altar where God's gifts belong. These are the gifts which are
W1:104.7 We clear a  holy place within our minds before His altar, where His gifts of
W1:106.11  a thousand minds are opened to the truth. And they will hear the  holy Word you hear. And when the hour is past, you will again release
W1:106.12 Today the  holy Word of God is kept through your receiving it to give away, so
W1:109.9  one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle of your peace, the  holy sanctuary where you rest.
W1:110.8  in your mind, try to discover in your mind the Self Who is the  holy Son of God Himself. Seek Him within you Who is Christ in you,
W1:110.9  instead of what He is be worshiped not today. Deep in your mind the  holy Christ in you is waiting your acknowledgment as you. And you are
W1:110.11  Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our  holy Self, the Christ in each of us:
W1:R3.6  but what is in your mind? Have faith in these reviews, the means the  Holy Spirit uses will not fail. The wisdom of your mind will come to
W1:R3.7  same trust and confidence and faith. It will not fail. It is the  Holy Spirit's chosen means for your salvation. Since it has His
W1:R3.12  then, to take it with you in the business of the day and make it  holy, worthy of God's Son, acceptable to God and to your Self.
W1:123.7  you offer thanks, and Whom He thanks as you are thanking Him. This  holy half an hour given Him will be returned to you in terms of years
W1:124.2 How  holy are our minds! And everything we see reflects the holiness
W1:124.10  tomorrow, you will see your own transfiguration in the glass this  holy half an hour will hold out to you to look upon yourself. When
W1:124.11  cannot understand, a joy too deep for you to comprehend, a sight too  holy for the body's eyes to see, and yet you can be sure someday,
W1:125.3  without our personal desires, and without all judgment of His  holy Word. We will not judge ourselves today, for what we are cannot
W1:125.4 Hear,  holy Son of God, your Father speak. His Voice would give to you His
W1:125.4  holy Son of God, your Father speak. His Voice would give to you His  holy Word to spread across the world the tidings of salvation and the
W1:125.4  Word to spread across the world the tidings of salvation and the  holy time of peace. We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet
W1:125.6  within you to be called upon today to help make ready your most  holy mind to hear the Voice of its Creator speak.
W1:128.6  free its wings, and it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its  holy purpose. Let it rest in its Creator, there to be restored to
W1:131.14  you think are true. Then let them go, and sink below them to the  holy place where they can enter not. There is a door beneath them in
W1:131.17  Today that day has come. Today God keeps His ancient promise to His  holy Son, as does His Son remember his to Him. This is a day of
W1:135.20  and with joy which constantly increases as this life becomes a  holy instant, set in time but heeding only immortality. Let no
W1:135.29 This is my Eastertime. And I would keep it  holy. I will not defend myself, because the Son of God needs no
W1:137.9  for a world where sadness cannot enter, are the means by which the  Holy Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle lessons teach how
W1:138.7  the choice that time was made to help us make. Such is its  holy purpose, now transformed from the intent you gave it, that it be
W1:139.7  asked of you, for what you are is certain. It is set forever in the  holy Mind of God and in your own. It is so far beyond all doubt and
W1:139.8  a statement which denies itself in statement? Let us not allow our  holy minds to occupy themselves with senseless musings such as this.
W1:139.13  hour, as we lay aside all thoughts that would distract us from our  holy aim. For several minutes let your mind be cleared of all the
W1:139.13  of all the foolish cobwebs which the world would weave around the  holy Son of God. And learn the fragile nature of the chains that seem
W1:140.3 The happy dreams the  Holy Spirit brings are different from the dreaming of the world,
W1:140.5  and holiness cannot be found where sin is cherished. God abides in  holy temples. He is barred where sin has entered. Yet there is no
W1:151.7  witness to God's Son. He recognizes only what God loves, and in the  holy light of what He sees do all the ego's dreams of what you are
W1:151.8  of sin, unheeding of the body's witnesses before the rapture of His  holy face.
W1:151.12  body and the world, past every witness for unholiness, within the  Holy, holy as Itself. In everyone and everything, His Voice would
W1:151.12  and the world, past every witness for unholiness, within the Holy,  holy as Itself. In everyone and everything, His Voice would speak to
W1:151.12  your Self and your Creator, Who is one with Him. So will you see the  holy face of Christ in everything and hear in everything no sound
W1:151.15  thoughts are purified. So are you taught to teach the Son of God the  holy lesson of his sanctity. No one can fail to listen when you hear
W1:151.17  As we give thanks the world unites with us and happily accepts our  holy thoughts which Heaven has corrected and made pure. Now has our
W1:153.5 You do not realize what you have done to sabotage the  holy peace of God by your defensiveness. For you behold the Son of
W1:153.9  sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose as our ministry extends its  holy blessing through the world.
W1:153.10 Be still a moment, and in silence think how  holy is your purpose, how secure you rest, untouchable within its
W1:153.13  our quaint and childish thoughts of sin forever from the pure and  holy minds of Heaven's children and the Son of God. We pause but for
W1:154.15 The world recedes as we light up our minds and realize these  holy words are true. They are the message sent to us today from our
W1:155.8  no cost, but only gain. Illusion can but seem to hold in chains the  holy Son of God. It is but from illusions he is saved. As they step
W1:155.9  still to walk ahead of truth and let illusions be your guide. Your  holy brothers have been given you to follow in your footsteps as you
W1:155.10  with nothing left to keep the truth apart from God's completion,  holy as Himself. Step back in faith, and let truth lead the way. You
W1:155.11  door on all the things that pass, and miracles are purposeless, the  holy Son of God will make no journeys. There will be no wish to be
W1:155.12  give you more than everything or offer less and still content the  holy Son of God? We walk to God. The truth that walks before us now
W1:156.3  of His remains unshared by everything that lives. What lives is  holy as Himself because what shares His life is part of Holiness and
W1:156.4 There is a Light in you Which cannot die, Whose Presence is so  holy that the world is sanctified because of you. All things that
W1:156.4  may walk in softness, while the wind sinks to a whisper round your  holy head.
W1:157.1  light upon this day when echoes of eternity are heard. This day is  holy, for it ushers in a new experience, a different kind of feeling
W1:157.3  every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this  holy place and leaves you for a moment to your Self.
W1:157.5  will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the  holy thoughts of God.
W1:157.8  Today we will embark upon a course you have not dreamed of. But the  Holy One, the Giver of the happy dreams of life, Translator of
W1:157.8  the happy dreams of life, Translator of perception into truth, the  holy Guide to Heaven given you has dreamed for you this journey which
W1:158.5  and His are joined in knowledge. Yet there is a vision which the  Holy Spirit sees because the mind of Christ beholds it too.
W1:158.6  with the intangible. Here is a quiet place within the world made  holy by forgiveness and by love. Here are all contradictions
W1:158.11  love. We practice seeing with the eyes of Christ today. And by the  holy gifts we give, Christ's vision looks upon ourselves as well.
W1:159.5  can you safely trust to carry you from this world into one made  holy by forgiveness. Things which seem quite solid here are merely
W1:159.6 This is the  Holy Spirit's single gift—the treasure house to which you can
W1:159.8 Christ's vision is the  holy ground in which the lilies of forgiveness set their roots. This
W1:161.3  now it is specifics we must use in practicing. We give them to the  Holy Spirit that He may employ them for a purpose which is different
W1:161.9  And in Christ's vision is his loveliness reflected in a form so  holy and so beautiful that you could scarce refrain from kneeling at
W1:161.14 Give me your blessing,  holy Son of God. I would behold you with the eyes of Christ, and see
W1:162.3  Holy indeed is he who makes these words his own—arising with them
W1:163.4  to rest beneath the headstone death has placed upon the body of the  holy Son of God.
W1:164.3 How  holy is your practicing today, as Christ gives you His sight and
W1:164.8  and offer you the treasure of salvation. He has need of your most  holy mind to save the world.
W1:167.10 Let us today be children of the truth and not deny our  holy heritage. Our life is not as we imagine it. Who changes life
W1:167.11 His  holy home we strive to keep today, as He established it and wills it
W1:167.12  a Source from Which perfection comes to us, remaining always in the  holy minds which He created perfect. As we were, so are we now and
W1:168.5 It is a new and  holy day today, for we receive what has been given us. Our faith lies
W1:169.1  it can be gently laid and willingly received, an altar clean and  holy for the gift.
W1:169.6  beyond salvation—past all thought of time, forgiveness, and the  holy face of Christ. The Son of God has merely disappeared into His
W1:169.11  It is here that miracles are laid, to be returned by you from  holy instants you receive through grace in your experience to all who
W1:170.14  complete. In them we see Your glory, and in them we find our peace.  Holy are we because Your holiness has set us free. And we give
W1:R5.2 Steady our feet, our Father; let our doubts be quiet and our  holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to give to
W1:R5.4  more meaningful, more personal and true, and more descriptive of the  holy Self we share and now prepare to know again:
W1:176.2 [161] Give me your blessing,  holy Son of God. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:181.10  our love for everyone we look upon attests to our remembrance of the  holy Self Which knows no sin and never could conceive of anything
W1:182.4  an innocence that will endure forever. Where this Child shall go is  holy ground. It is His holiness that lights up Heaven and that brings
W1:182.5 —just an interval in which He can return to breathe again the  holy air that fills His Father's house. You are His home as well. He
W1:182.12  is the Voice you hear, and this the Call which cannot be denied. The  holy Child remains with you. His home is yours. Today He gives you
W1:183.1 God's Name is  holy, but no holier than yours. To call upon His Name is but to call
W1:183.5  the nameless for the Name, nor sin for grace, nor bodies for the  holy Son of God.
W1:183.11  things he thought he made be nameless now, and in their place the  holy Name of God becomes his judgment of their worthlessness.
W1:183.12  upon his Father. And his Father's Voice gives answer in his Father's  holy Name. In this eternal, still relationship, in which
W1:184.11  the world of darkness. Yet accept them not as your reality. The  Holy Spirit uses all of them, but He does not forget Creation has One
W1:186.6  cannot tarnish the truth in you, and misery can come not near the  holy home of God.
W1:186.7  on you and not upon this little pile of dust. What can it tell the  holy Son of God? Why need he be concerned with it at all?
W1:187.11  have it be withheld from anything we look upon. And to ensure this  holy sight is ours, we offer it to everything we see. For where we

W1:190.6 My  holy brothers, think of this awhile—the world you see does nothing.
W1:190.6  the joy of God as what you really want. Your Self is radiant in this  holy joy, unchanged, unchanging, and unchangeable forever and
W1:190.8 Pain is the thought of evil taking form and working havoc in your  holy mind. Pain is the ransom you have gladly paid not to be free. In
W1:191.6 One  holy thought like this, and you are free: you are the holy Son of God
W1:191.6 One holy thought like this, and you are free: you are the  holy Son of God Himself. And with this holy thought, you learn as
W1:191.6  and you are free: you are the holy Son of God Himself. And with this  holy thought, you learn as well that you have freed the world. You

W1:191.13  on you. They die till you accept your own eternal life. You are the  holy Son of God Himself. Remember this and all the world is free.
W1:192.1 It is your Father's  holy will that you complete Himself and that your Self shall be His
W1:192.6  Only forgiveness can restore the peace that God intended for His  holy Son. Only forgiveness can persuade the Son to look again upon
W1:193.3  no forgiveness, for He knows no sin is possible. And yet He let His  holy law of Love be given form in which it could be offered to the
W1:193.4  replace the foolish thoughts which crept into the mind of His most  holy Son with peace and joy fulfills His function now. He redirects
W1:193.9 These are the words the  Holy Spirit speaks in all your tribulations, all your pain, all
W1:193.13  thorn or nail to hurt His sacred Son in any way. He would ensure his  holy rest remain untroubled and serene, without a care in an eternal
W1:194.5  Then is each instant, which was slave to time, transformed into a  holy instant when the light that was kept hidden in God's Son is
W1:196.8  God, Whom you had thought to banish, can be welcomed back within the  holy mind He never left.
W1:196.12  gone, there are no obstacles that still remain between you and the  holy peace of God. How kind and merciful is the idea we practice!
W1:197.8 Thanks be to you, the  holy Son of God, for as you were created you contain all things
W1:197.9  All that you think can only be His thoughts, sharing with Him the  holy thoughts of God. Earn now the gratitude you have denied yourself
W1:198.8  attack! How mad to think that you could be condemned and that the  holy Son of God can die! The stillness of your Self remains unmoved,
W1:198.12  appears unveiled at last in this one dream. This is the gift the  Holy Spirit holds for you from God your Father. Let today be
W1:198.12  God your Father. Let today be celebrated both on earth and in your  holy home as well. Be kind to both, as you forgive the trespasses you

W1:199.7  believe they are enslaved within a body. Be you free, so that the  Holy Spirit can make use of your escape from bondage to set free the

W1:R6.2  start our practicing in which we carefully review the thoughts the  Holy Spirit has bestowed on us in our last 20 lessons. Each contains
W1:211.1 [191] I am the  holy Son of God Himself. In silence and in true humility, I seek
W1:215.1 [195] Love is the way I walk in gratitude. The  Holy Spirit is my only Guide. He walks with me in love. And I give
W2:I.3  will not content ourselves with simple practicing in the remaining  holy instants which conclude the year that we have given God. We say
W2:I.6 I am so close to you we cannot fail. Father, we give these  holy times to You in gratitude to Him Who taught us how to leave the
W2:I.7  keep. We will with You in asking this. The Father and the Son, Whose  holy will created all that is, can fail in nothing. In this
W2:I.8 And so we start upon the final part of this one  holy year which we have spent together in the search for truth and
W2:I.11  slowly read and thought about a little while, preceding one of the  holy and blessed instants in the day. We give the first of these
W2:223.2  see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your  holy Son are sinless. We would look upon our sinlessness, for guilt
W2:227.1  the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. This is my  holy instant of release. Father, I know my will is one with Yours.
W2:229.1  waited for my coming home that I will turn away no longer from the  holy face of Christ. And what I look upon attests the truth of the
W2:WS.3  go down to dust. And what they hid is now revealed—an altar to the  holy Name of God whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your
W2:WS.4 Let us come daily to this  holy place and spend a while together. Here we share our final dream.
W2:234.1  when dreams of sin and guilt are gone and we have reached again the  holy peace we never left. Merely a tiny instant has elapsed between
W2:236.1  in it. My mind can only serve. Today I give its service to the  Holy Spirit to employ as He sees fit. I thus direct my mind, which I
W2:248.1  myself. Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the  holy Son of God. Now am I ready to accept him back as God created
W2:250.1  of God today and witness to his glory. Let me not try to obscure the  holy light in him and see his strength diminished and reduced to
W2:WIS.5  unchanged. Would you still hold return to Heaven back? How long, oh  holy Son of God, how long?
W2:252.1 My Self is  holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive. Its
W2:253.1  this world to my creations, children of my Will, in Heaven where my  holy Self abides with them and Him Who has created me.

W2:WIB.4  and to help him walk along the road with him. Now is the body  holy. Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made to kill.
W2:262.1  You Who are our Source, eternally united in Your Love, eternally the  holy Son of God.
W2:263.2  remain outside the gate of Heaven, let us look on all we see through  holy vision and the eyes of Christ. Let all appearances seem pure to
W2:263.2  and walk together to our Father's house as brothers and the  holy Sons of God.
W2:266.1  to be my saviors and my counselors in sight—the bearers of Your  holy Voice to me. In them are You reflected, and in them does Christ
W2:266.1  Christ look back upon me from my Self. Let not Your Son forget Your  holy Name. Let not Your Son forget his holy Source. Let not Your Son
W2:266.1  Let not Your Son forget Your holy Name. Let not Your Son forget his  holy Source. Let not Your Son forget Your name is his.
W2:266.2  and on our own, acknowledging our Self in each of us, united in the  holy Love of God. How many saviors God has given us! How can we lose
W2:269.1  me that what I look upon belongs to me, that nothing is except Your  holy Son.
W2:270.2  through His sight, we offer healing to the world through Him, the  holy Son whom God created whole, the holy Son whom God created one.
W2:270.2  to the world through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole, the  holy Son whom God created one.

W2:WIC.3  in God alone, does Christ remain at peace within the Heaven of your  holy mind. This is the only part of you that has reality in truth.
W2:WIC.3  dreams be given unto Christ to fade before His glory and reveal your  holy Self, the Christ, to you at last.
W2:WIC.4 The  Holy Spirit reaches from the Christ in you to all your dreams and

W2:WIC.5  no need of learning or perception or of time, or anything except the  holy Self, the Christ Whom God created as His Son.
W2:276.1 What is the Word of God? “My Son is pure and  holy as Myself.” And thus did God become the Father of the Son He
W2:WIHS.1 The  Holy Spirit mediates between illusions and the truth. As He must
W2:WIHS.2 The goal the  Holy Spirit's teaching sets is just this end of dreams. For sights
W2:WIHS.2  has achieved the only goal it has in truth. For learning, as the  Holy Spirit guides it to the outcome He perceives for it, becomes the
W2:WIHS.3  from His replacement for the fearful images and dreams you made. The  Holy Spirit understands the means you made, by which you would attain
W2:WIHS.4 From knowledge, where He has been placed by God, the  Holy Spirit calls to you to let forgiveness rest upon your dreams and

W2:288.2  you behold your brother in the light of holiness. He cannot be less  holy than can I, and you cannot be holier than he.
W2:WIRW.5 The  Holy Spirit has no need of time when it has served His purpose. Now
W2:293.1  and its effects apparent. All the world shines in reflection of its  holy light, and I perceive a world forgiven at last.
W2:293.2 Father, let not Your  holy world escape my sight today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the
W2:295.2  given me. Help me to use the eyes of Christ today and thus allow the  Holy Spirit's love to bless all things that I may look upon, that His
W2:296.1 The  Holy Spirit needs my voice today, that all the world may listen to
W2:296.1  I would set it free that I may find escape and hear the Word Your  holy Voice will speak to me today.
W2:296.2  possible of easy reach and quick accomplishment. How gladly does the  Holy Spirit come to rescue us from hell when we allow His teaching to
W2:298.1  thus am I restored to my reality at last. All that intruded on my  holy sight forgiveness takes away. And I draw near the end of
W2:298.2  You are beside me. Certain is Your way. And I am grateful for Your  holy gifts of certain sanctuary and escape from everything that would

W2:WISC.5  Let us rejoice that we can do God's Will and join together in its  holy light. Behold, the Son of God is one in us, and we can reach our

W2:303.1 Watch with me, angels; watch with me today. Let all God's  holy thoughts surround me and be still with me while Heaven's Son is
W2:304.1 I can obscure my  holy sight if I intrude my world upon it. Nor can I behold the holy
W2:304.1  my holy sight if I intrude my world upon it. Nor can I behold the  holy sights Christ looks upon unless it is His vision that I use.
W2:304.2  for the world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your  holy Son that he may find again the memory of You and of Your Son as

Tx:5.23  but its application is different. Choosing means divided will. The  Holy Spirit is one way of choosing. This way is in you because there

Tx:5.32 The way to learn to know your brother is by perceiving the  Holy Spirit in him. We have already said that the Holy Spirit is the

Tx:5.35 The Voice of the  Holy Spirit is weak in you. That is why you must share it. It must be
Tx:5.35  by being shared. If you make the mistake of looking for the  Holy Spirit in yourself alone, your meditations will frighten you
Tx:5.36  and delay are meaningless in eternity. We have said before that the  Holy Spirit is God's Answer to the ego. Everything of which the Holy
Tx:5.36  the Holy Spirit is God's Answer to the ego. Everything of which the  Holy Spirit reminds you is in direct opposition to the ego's notions,
Tx:5.36  because true and false perceptions are themselves opposed. The  Holy Spirit has the task of undoing what the ego has made. He undoes
Tx:5.38 The  Holy Spirit is the Mediator between the interpretations of the ego
Tx:5.38  Understanding is light, and light leads to knowledge. The  Holy Spirit is in light because He is in you who are light, but you
Tx:5.38  but you yourselves do not know this. It is therefore the task of the  Holy Spirit to reinterpret you on behalf of God.
Tx:5.39  is your life, your eternity, and yourself. It is of this that the  Holy Spirit reminds you. It is this that the Holy Spirit sees. This
Tx:5.39  It is of this that the Holy Spirit reminds you. It is this that the  Holy Spirit sees. This vision invariably frightens the ego because it
Tx:5.40 The  Holy Spirit is as vigilant as the ego to the call of danger, opposing
Tx:5.40  His strength, just as the ego welcomes it with all its might. The  Holy Spirit counters this welcome by welcoming peace. Peace and
Tx:5.41 The ego is the symbol of separation, just as the  Holy Spirit is the symbol of peace. What you perceive in others, you
Tx:5.41  strengthening in yourself. You let your mind misperceive, but the  Holy Spirit lets your mind reinterpret its own misperceptions. The
Tx:5.41  Holy Spirit lets your mind reinterpret its own misperceptions. The  Holy Spirit is the perfect teacher. He uses only what your minds
Tx:5.41  already understand to teach you that you do not understand it. The  Holy Spirit can deal with an unwilling learner without going counter
Tx:5.41  than the ego, even though the ego does not recognize it. The  Holy Spirit recognizes it perfectly, because it is His own dwelling
Tx:5.42  only in eternity. The ego made the world as it perceives it, but the  Holy Spirit, the reinterpreter of what the ego made, sees it only as
Tx:5.42  made, sees it only as a teaching device for bringing you home. The  Holy Spirit must perceive time and reinterpret it into the timeless.
Tx:5.43 The  Holy Spirit must work through opposites, because He must work with

Tx:5.45  They are beyond destruction and beyond guilt. They came from the  Holy Spirit within you, and we know what God creates is eternal. What
Tx:5.46  can safely fail to acknowledge anything that is true. However, the  Holy Spirit will not fail to help you reinterpret everything that you
Tx:5.47  of the Kingdom. Nothing good is lost because it comes from the  Holy Spirit, the Voice for creation. Nothing that is not good was
Tx:5.53  attraction of the parts of the Sonship, which hear the call of the  Holy Spirit to be as One.
Tx:5.54  and the mind which was in me rejoices as you choose to hear it. The  Holy Spirit atones in all of us by undoing and thus lifts the burden
Tx:5.56  at the same level. It is impossible to share opposing thoughts. The  Holy Spirit does not let you forsake your brothers. Therefore, you
Tx:5.57  of God lacks nothing. Everything you think that is not through the  Holy Spirit is lacking.
Tx:5.59  ego's use of guilt is clarified. The ego has a purpose, just as the  Holy Spirit has. The ego's purpose is fear because only the fearful
Tx:5.59  can be egotistic. The ego's logic is as impeccable as that of the  Holy Spirit, because your mind has all the means at its disposal to
Tx:5.59  appropriate here because, once what you have made is undone by the  Holy Spirit, the blessed residue is restored and therefore continues
Tx:5.67 The  Holy Spirit, like the ego, is a decision. Together they constitute
Tx:5.67  the alternatives which the mind can accept and obey. The ego and the  Holy Spirit are the only choices open to you. God created one, and so
Tx:5.73  was in me is in you, for God creates with perfect fairness. Let the  Holy Spirit remind you always of His fairness, and let me teach you
Tx:5.74 The ego speaks in judgment and the  Holy Spirit reverses its decisions, much as the Supreme Court has the
Tx:5.75  wicked shall perish.” There are many others, but if you will let the  Holy Spirit reinterpret these in His own light, they will suffice.
Tx:5.76  the fact that vengeance cannot be shared. Give it therefore to the  Holy Spirit, who will undo it in you because it does not belong in
Tx:5.77  beyond itself. Actually, all the quotation means is that the  Holy Spirit in later generations retains the power to interpret
Tx:5.82  device which will be abolished when it is no longer useful. The  Holy Spirit, Who speaks for God in time, also knows that time is
Tx:5.83  set) on Him,” a statement which means that God's peace is set in the  Holy Spirit because it is fixed on God. It is also fixed in you. You,
Tx:5.85  of the Holy Spirit's set is the basis for His unequivocal Voice. The  Holy Spirit never changes His Mind. Clarity of thought cannot occur
Tx:5.87 Second, although Freud misinterpreted what the  Holy Spirit told him, or better, reminded him of, he was too honest
Tx:5.95  the following as sincerely as you can, remembering that the  Holy Spirit will respond fully to your slightest invitation:
Tx:5.96  because I want to be at peace. I do not feel guilty, because the  Holy Spirit will undo all the consequences of my wrong decision if I
Tx:6.13  as learners, even though we need not have equal experiences. The  Holy Spirit is glad when you can learn enough from mine to be
Tx:6.14  on to sacrifice. On the contrary, by enabling yourselves to hear the  Holy Spirit in others, you can learn from their experiences and gain
Tx:6.14  from them without experiencing them yourselves. That is because the  Holy Spirit is one, and anyone who listens is inevitably led to
Tx:6.14  nor was I. You are not asked to repeat my experiences, because the  Holy Spirit, Whom we share, makes this unnecessary. To use my
Tx:6.15  that no perception which is out of accord with the judgment of the  Holy Spirit can be justified. I undertook to show this was true in a
Tx:6.16 Remember that the  Holy Spirit is the communication link between God the Father and His
Tx:6.28  its abilities are directed by the mind which has a better Voice. The  Holy Spirit as well as the ego utilizes projection, but since their
Tx:6.29 The  Holy Spirit begins by perceiving you as perfect. Knowing this
Tx:6.29  for both because it establishes inclusion. Perceiving equality, the  Holy Spirit perceives equal needs. This invites Atonement
Tx:6.31  knowing. The ego's perception has no counterpart in God, but the  Holy Spirit remains the bridge between perception and knowledge. By
Tx:6.31  that this meeting is impossible, yet it is your perception which the  Holy Spirit guides. You might remember that the human eye perceives
Tx:6.32  other, because they were created neither partially nor in part. The  Holy Spirit enables you to perceive this wholeness now. You can no
Tx:6.32  alone. Prayer is the restatement of inclusion, directed by the  Holy Spirit under the laws of God. God created you to create. You
Tx:6.33  Although perception of any kind is unnecessary, you made it, and the  Holy Spirit can therefore use it well. He can inspire perception and
Tx:6.34 The  Holy Spirit uses time but does not believe in it. Coming from God, He
Tx:6.34  for good, but He does not believe in what is not true. Since the  Holy Spirit is in your minds, your minds must also be able to believe
Tx:6.34  your minds must also be able to believe only what is true. The  Holy Spirit can speak only for this because he speaks for God. He
Tx:6.35  because it can so easily make the idea seem so difficult. Yet the  Holy Spirit tells you that even return is unnecessary because what
Tx:6.36  all of your perceptions into the one parallel line which the  Holy Spirit sees. This line is the direct line of communication with
Tx:6.36  perception, because it means that all perception is guided by the  Holy Spirit, Whose Mind is fixed on God. Only the Holy Spirit can
Tx:6.36  is guided by the Holy Spirit, Whose Mind is fixed on God. Only the  Holy Spirit can resolve conflict, because only the Holy Spirit is
Tx:6.36  on God. Only the Holy Spirit can resolve conflict, because only the  Holy Spirit is conflict-free. He perceives only what is true in your
Tx:6.37  difference between the ego's use of projection and projection as the  Holy Spirit uses it is very simple. The ego projects to exclude and
Tx:6.37  simple. The ego projects to exclude and therefore to deceive. The  Holy Spirit projects by recognizing Himself in every mind and thus
Tx:6.37  them as one. Nothing conflicts in this perception, because what the  Holy Spirit perceives is the same. Wherever He looks He sees Himself,
Tx:6.38  mind forever, but it must shine outward to make you aware of it. The  Holy Spirit was given you with perfect impartiality, and only by
Tx:6.38  impartially can you perceive Him at all. The ego is legion, but the  Holy Spirit is One. No darkness abides anywhere in the Kingdom, but
Tx:6.40 The  Holy Spirit still holds knowledge safe through His impartial
Tx:6.41  you are to be conflict-free yourselves, you must learn only from the  Holy Spirit and teach only by Him. You are only love, but when you
Tx:6.42 The only real safety lies in projecting only the  Holy Spirit because, as you see His gentleness in others, your own
Tx:6.45 Remember that the  Holy Spirit is the Answer, not the question. The ego always speaks
Tx:6.45  it at any moment. If it meant you well, it would be glad, as the  Holy Spirit will be glad when He has brought you home and you no
Tx:6.47  you fully understand one basic fact that the ego does not know. The  Holy Spirit does not speak first, but He always answers. Everyone has
Tx:6.47  another and in one way or another and has been answered. Since the  Holy Spirit answers truly, He answers for all time, which means that
Tx:6.48 The ego cannot hear the  Holy Spirit, but it does believe that part of the same mind that made
Tx:6.50 Hear then the one answer of the  Holy Spirit to all the questions which the ego raises. You are a
Tx:6.55 That is why the  Holy Spirit never commands. To command is to assume inequality, which
Tx:6.55  Spirit never commands. To command is to assume inequality, which the  Holy Spirit demonstrates does not exist. Fidelity to premises is a
Tx:6.57 Like any good teacher, the  Holy Spirit does know more than you do now, but He teaches only to
Tx:6.60 The  Holy Spirit never itemizes errors because He does not frighten
Tx:6.60  they are frightened, because they do not know the difference. The  Holy Spirit makes no distinction among dreams. He merely shines them
Tx:6.60  you have been dreaming. Nothing lasting lies in dreams, and the  Holy Spirit, shining with the light from God Himself, speaks only for
Tx:6.62  It is clearly a separation device and therefore does not exist. The  Holy Spirit, as always, takes what you have made and translates it
Tx:6.63 We have said that the  Holy Spirit is the motivation for miracles. This is because He always
Tx:6.63  By the laws of mind, then, the body is meaningless. To the  Holy Spirit, there is no order of difficulty in miracles. This is
Tx:6.65 The  Holy Spirit, who leads to God, translates communication into being,
Tx:6.65  The insanity of this perception makes it a fearful one indeed. The  Holy Spirit sees the body only as a means of communication and
Tx:6.66  allegiance but always for what each one can get separately. The  Holy Spirit communicates only what each one can give to all. He never
Tx:6.76  you that it is up to you to decide which voice is true, but the  Holy Spirit teaches you that truth was created by God, and your
Tx:6.76  before that there was help in reminding yourselves to allow the  Holy Spirit to decide for God for you.
Tx:6.77  believe that it is up to you to decide what God's creations are. The  Holy Spirit perceives the conflict exactly as it is. Therefore, His
Tx:6.81  accepted that is a demonstration of your growing awareness that the  Holy Spirit will lead you on.
Tx:6.82  salvation is critical to the whole Sonship. We said before that the  Holy Spirit is evaluative and must be. Yet His evaluation does not
Tx:6.83 What you must remember, however, is that what the  Holy Spirit rejects, the ego accepts. This is because they are in
Tx:6.83  crucial issue vary, and that is why it promotes different moods. The  Holy Spirit never varies on this point, and so the one mood He
Tx:6.84 The  Holy Spirit does not teach your mind to be critical of other minds,
Tx:6.88  that you can choose either one. By teaching what to choose, the  Holy Spirit will ultimately be able to teach you that you need not
Tx:6.88  direct it towards creation within the Kingdom. Choosing through the  Holy Spirit will lead you to the Kingdom. You create by what you are,
Tx:6.89  step will still be taken for you by God, but by the third step the  Holy Spirit has prepared you for God. He is getting you ready for the
Tx:6.95  second step, but I also told you that the third one follows it. The  Holy Spirit will enable you to go on if you follow Him. Your
Tx:7.6  Him is to share the perfect love He shares with you. To this the  Holy Spirit leads you that your joy may be complete, because the
Tx:7.6  and nothing that is true needs to be explained. However, the  Holy Spirit has the task of translating the useless into the useful,
Tx:7.10  is to correct perception in your brother and yourself by sharing the  Holy Spirit with him. This places you both within the Kingdom and
Tx:7.15  is to change the form so that the original meaning is retained. The  Holy Spirit is the translator of the laws of God to those who do not
Tx:7.17  it cannot be consistent unless it is remembered. That is why the  Holy Spirit is a lesson in remembering. We said before that He
Tx:7.22  defeat its purpose. Therefore, it does not really learn at all. The  Holy Spirit teaches you to use what the ego has made to teach the
Tx:7.22  example of the Holy Spirit's unified purpose than this course. The  Holy Spirit has taken very diversified areas of your learning and has
Tx:7.23 You made the effort to learn, and the  Holy Spirit has a unified goal for all effort. He adapts the ego's
Tx:7.24  to be no connection, because the ego is discontinuous. Yet the  Holy Spirit teaches one lesson and applies it to all individuals in
Tx:7.30  to question reality is to question meaninglessly. That is why the  Holy Spirit never questions. His sole function is to undo the
Tx:7.34 The  Holy Spirit must work through you to teach you He is in you. This is
Tx:7.34  you are in God, because you are part of Him. The miracles which the  Holy Spirit inspires can have no order of difficulty, because every
Tx:7.34  is God's Will and yours. The laws of God establish this, and the  Holy Spirit reminds you of it. When you heal, you are remembering the
Tx:7.35 All abilities, then, should be given over to the  Holy Spirit, Who knows how to use them properly. He can use them only
Tx:7.35  wholeness you learn to remember God. You have forgotten Him, but the  Holy Spirit still knows that your forgetting must be translated into
Tx:7.36  or to any extent. The ego always seeks to divide and separate. The  Holy Spirit always seeks to unify and heal. As you heal you are
Tx:7.36  seeks to unify and heal. As you heal you are healed, because the  Holy Spirit sees no order of healing. Healing is the way to undo the
Tx:7.38  not recognizing its existence in your brothers. This strengthens the  Holy Spirit in both of you, because it is a refusal to acknowledge
Tx:7.44 The  Holy Spirit does not work by chance, and healing that is of Him
Tx:7.48  he could not have changed his mind. That is how you perceive the  Holy Spirit in him. It is only the Holy Spirit in him that never
Tx:7.48  That is how you perceive the Holy Spirit in him. It is only the  Holy Spirit in him that never changes His Mind. He himself must think
Tx:7.54  reciprocal. They make or create, depending on whether the ego or the  Holy Spirit begets or inspires them, but they will return to the mind
Tx:7.60 The  Holy Spirit undoes illusions without attacking them merely because He
Tx:7.60  by perceiving conflict as meaningless. We said before that the  Holy Spirit perceives the conflict exactly as it is, and it is
Tx:7.60  perceives the conflict exactly as it is, and it is meaningless. The  Holy Spirit does not want you to understand conflict; He wants you to
Tx:7.61 If you will keep in mind what the  Holy Spirit offers you, you cannot be vigilant for anything but God
Tx:7.61  which are not true and would never have been called upon by the  Holy Spirit if you had not believed the untrue. You cannot deny that,
Tx:7.64  committed to untruth, perceiving in total contradiction to the  Holy Spirit and to the knowledge of God.
Tx:7.65 You can be perceived with meaning only by the  Holy Spirit, because your being is the knowledge of God. Any belief
Tx:7.68 In this depressing state, the  Holy Spirit reminds you gently that you are sad because you are not
Tx:7.71  because it will be used for attack, but in the service of the  Holy Spirit, [the law becomes as beneficent as all of the laws of
Tx:7.82  as a way of getting rid of something it does not want. To the  Holy Spirit, it is the fundamental law of sharing by which you give
Tx:7.83 Projection, to the  Holy Spirit, is the law of extension. To the ego, it is the law of
Tx:7.88  the errors as yours, do not keep them. Give them over quickly to the  Holy Spirit to be undone completely so that all their effects will
Tx:7.89 The  Holy Spirit will teach you to perceive beyond belief, because truth
Tx:7.91  is of the Soul, because that is how God created it. The  Holy Spirit is the part of the mind that lies between the ego and the
Tx:7.95  unknown to them. Your creations are protected for you, because the  Holy Spirit, Who is in your mind, knows of them and can bring them
Tx:7.100  His Will as yours, and you are denying His Kingdom and yours. The  Holy Spirit will direct you only so as to avoid pain. The undoing of
Tx:7.100  this goal if he recognized it. The problem is not whether what the  Holy Spirit says is true, but whether you want to listen to what He
Tx:7.101  This confusion is the cause of the whole idea of sacrifice. Obey the  Holy Spirit, and you will be giving up the ego. But you will be
Tx:7.103 The  Holy Spirit always sides with you and with your strength. As long as
Tx:7.103  then, can this decision mean except that you want to be fearful? The  Holy Spirit never asks for sacrifice, but the ego always does. When
Tx:7.104  of this decision is confusion, this is hardly surprising.] The  Holy Spirit is perfectly trustworthy, as you are. God Himself trusts
Tx:7.107 The  Holy Spirit will always guide you truly, because your joy is His.
Tx:7.110  has become the perfect teacher, because he has learned it of the  Holy Spirit, Who wants to teach him everything He knows. When a mind
Tx:8.8  confused and totally confusing. Even if you could disregard the  Holy Spirit entirely, which is quite impossible, you could learn
Tx:8.11  freedom and makes you afraid of your will because it is free. The  Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the will of a Son of God,
Tx:8.11  a Son of God, knowing that the will of the Son is the Father's. The  Holy Spirit leads you steadily along the path of freedom, teaching
Tx:8.12 We said before that the  Holy Spirit teaches you the difference between pain and joy. That is
Tx:8.15 To what else except all power and glory can the  Holy Spirit appeal to restore God's Kingdom? His appeal, then, is
Tx:8.17  be forced upon you, being an experience of total willingness. The  Holy Spirit knows how to teach this, but you do not. That is why you
Tx:8.18  of extending His Fatherhood by placing no limits upon it. Let the  Holy Spirit teach you how to do this, for you will know what it means
Tx:8.20  find them in yourself, because it does not know where to look. The  Holy Spirit teaches you that if you look only at yourself, you cannot
Tx:8.23  from them. The ego teaches that your strength is in you alone. The  Holy Spirit teaches that all strength is in God and therefore in you.
Tx:8.41 The ego's way is not mine, but it is also not yours. The  Holy Spirit has one direction for all minds, and the one He taught me
Tx:8.54 Remember that the  Holy Spirit interprets the body only as a means of communication.
Tx:8.54  Being the communication link between God and His separated Sons, the  Holy Spirit interprets everything you have made in the light of what
Tx:8.54  in the light of what He is. The ego separates through the body. The  Holy Spirit reaches through it to others. You do not perceive your
Tx:8.54  through it to others. You do not perceive your brothers as the  Holy Spirit does, because you do not interpret their bodies and yours
Tx:8.55  is. This is God's way of making unlimited what you have limited. The  Holy Spirit does not see the body as you do, because He knows the
Tx:8.56  put yours. If the body becomes for you a means which you give to the  Holy Spirit to use on behalf of union of the Sonship, you will not
Tx:8.56  already done so by misusing it. Interpret anything apart from the  Holy Spirit, and you will mistrust it. This will lead you to hatred
Tx:8.61  to be ruled by chaos. Guided by the ego, it is. Guided by the  Holy Spirit, it is not. It becomes only a means by which the part of
Tx:8.61  return to the Soul. The ego's temple thus becomes the temple of the  Holy Spirit, where devotion to Him replaces devotion to the ego. In
Tx:8.74  call upon witnesses who would disagree with its case, nor does the  Holy Spirit. We have said that judgment is the function of the Holy
Tx:8.74  the Holy Spirit. We have said that judgment is the function of the  Holy Spirit and one which He is perfectly equipped to fulfill. The
Tx:8.76  endless prescriptions for avoiding catastrophic outcomes. The  Holy Spirit, perfectly aware of the same data, does not bother to
Tx:8.78  listen. It cannot be louder without violating your will, which the  Holy Spirit seeks to free but never to command.
Tx:8.79 The  Holy Spirit teaches you to use your body only to reach your brothers,
Tx:8.79  heal you. Everything used in accordance with its function as the  Holy Spirit sees it cannot be sick. Everything used otherwise is. Do
Tx:8.79  is the natural state of anything whose interpretation is left to the  Holy Spirit, Who perceives no attack on anything. Health is the
Tx:8.80 We once said that the  Holy Spirit is the Answer. He is the Answer to everything, because He
Tx:8.80  its questions. When the ego tempts you to sickness, do not ask the  Holy Spirit to heal the body, for this would merely be to accept the
Tx:8.80  that the body is the proper aim for healing. Ask rather that the  Holy Spirit teach you the right perception of the body, for
Tx:8.82  what joining means if you are sleeping under its guidance. Yet the  Holy Spirit, too, has use for sleep and can use dreams on behalf of
Tx:8.83  did you place it? Whenever you wake dispiritedly, it was not of the  Holy Spirit. Only when you awaken joyously have you utilized sleep
Tx:8.84  to love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love. The  Holy Spirit cannot distinguish among degrees of error, for if He
Tx:8.94  process can only be what you think you lose. Yet it is only what the  Holy Spirit sees that you can possibly have. We have emphasized many
Tx:8.94  that you can possibly have. We have emphasized many times that the  Holy Spirit will never call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if
Tx:8.94  anything. But if you ask the sacrifice of reality of yourselves, the  Holy Spirit must remind you that this is not God's Will because it is
Tx:8.95  this is precisely what you will ask for. You may insist that the  Holy Spirit does not answer you, but it might be wiser to consider
Tx:8.98  but it is still true that they do not want them. Can you ask the  Holy Spirit for “gifts” such as these and actually expect to receive
Tx:8.98  for “gifts” such as these and actually expect to receive them? [The  Holy Spirit is totally incapable of giving you anything that does not
Tx:8.100 When you ask the  Holy Spirit for what would hurt you, He cannot answer, because
Tx:8.100  not a request. It is merely a denial in the form of a request. The  Holy Spirit is not concerned with form at all, being aware only of
Tx:8.100  form at all, being aware only of meaning. The ego cannot ask the  Holy Spirit for anything because there is complete communication
Tx:8.100  failure between them. Yet you can ask for everything of the  Holy Spirit because your requests are real, being of your will. Would
Tx:8.100  Spirit because your requests are real, being of your will. Would the  Holy Spirit deny the Will of God? And could He fail to recognize it
Tx:8.108 Let us suppose, then, that what you request of the  Holy Spirit is what you really want, but you are still afraid of it.
Tx:8.109  be true if no effort is wasted. The very fact that one has asked the  Holy Spirit for anything will ensure a response. Yet it is equally
Tx:8.109  a response. Yet it is equally certain that no response given by the  Holy Spirit will ever be one which would increase fear. It is
Tx:8.110  in me whose faith in you cannot be shaken. Can you ask of the  Holy Spirit truly and doubt your brother? Believe his words are true
Tx:8.111  about him determines the message you receive. Remember that the  Holy Spirit is in him, and His Voice speaks to you through him. What
Tx:8.112 Salvation is of your brother. The  Holy Spirit extends from your mind to his and answers you. You cannot
Tx:8.112  in you unless you extend it. You will not trust the guidance of the  Holy Spirit or believe that it is for you unless you hear it in
Tx:8.113  me. Knowing what you are, I cannot doubt you. I hear only the  Holy Spirit in you, who speaks to me through you. If you would hear
Tx:8.118 You can ask of the  Holy Spirit, then, only by giving to Him, and you can give to Him
Tx:9.1  to the errors which other egos make is not the kind of vigilance the  Holy Spirit would have you maintain. Egos are critical in terms of
Tx:9.1  understand this kind of sense because it is sensible to them. To the  Holy Spirit, it makes no sense at all. To the ego, it is kind and
Tx:9.3  of your brother's ego, you must be seeing through yours, because the  Holy Spirit does not perceive his errors. This must be true if there
Tx:9.3  be true if there is no communication at all between the ego and the  Holy Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not
Tx:9.3  between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the  Holy Spirit does not attempt to understand anything that arises from
Tx:9.4 When you react at all to errors, you are not listening to the  Holy Spirit. He has merely disregarded them, and if you attend to
Tx:9.5  them, you are accepting yours. If you want to give yours over to the  Holy Spirit, you must do this with his. Unless this becomes the one
Tx:9.7  and keep it, see only truth beside you, for you walk together. The  Holy Spirit in you forgives all things in you and in your brother.
Tx:9.7  the ego. Correction is of God, Who does not know of arrogance. The  Holy Spirit forgives everything, because God created everything.
Tx:9.11  which is given you because you have forgotten how to do it. The  Holy Spirit merely reminds you of what is your natural ability. By
Tx:9.11  in its judgment. All their helpfulness lies in the judgment of the  Holy Spirit.
Tx:9.14 Forgiveness through the  Holy Spirit lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning
Tx:9.14  order to be forgiven. What has no effect does not exist, and to the  Holy Spirit, the effects of error are totally non-existent. By
Tx:9.23  as unhelpful as the older ones, because form does not matter to the  Holy Spirit and therefore does not matter at all. According to the
Tx:9.23  is equated with the mind, the mind's corrective power through the  Holy Spirit is denied.
Tx:9.28  not of him. Yet, being for him, it must also be for his patient. The  Holy Spirit is the only therapist. He makes healing perfectly clear
Tx:9.29 As you awaken other minds to the  Holy Spirit through Him and not yourself, you will understand that
Tx:9.31 How can you become increasingly aware of the  Holy Spirit in you except by His effects? You cannot see Him with
Tx:9.32 It seems to you that the  Holy Spirit does not produce joy consistently in you only because you
Tx:9.35  are not yet awake, but you can learn how to awaken. Very simply the  Holy Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them waken, you
Tx:9.40 It is perfectly obvious that if the  Holy Spirit looks with love on all He perceives, He looks with love
Tx:9.41  ego is deceived by everything you do, even when you respond to the  Holy Spirit, because at such times its confusion increases. The ego
Tx:9.44  from beyond it, because, within it, its foundation does stand. The  Holy Spirit judges against the reality of the ego's thought system
Tx:9.44  not true. Therefore, nothing that arises from it means anything. The  Holy Spirit judges every belief you hold in terms of where it comes
Tx:9.56  What good can come of it? And if no good can come of it, the  Holy Spirit cannot use it. What He cannot transform to the Will of
Tx:9.58  it or prevail over it. It does not vary. It merely is. Ask the  Holy Spirit what it is and He will tell you, but do not be afraid of
Tx:9.66  with neither? You do not remember being awake. When you hear the  Holy Spirit, you merely feel better because loving seems possible to
Tx:9.69  this decision lie joy and peace and the glory of creation. Offer the  Holy Spirit only your will to remember, for He retains the knowledge
Tx:9.91  is the recognition that his brother can do it. It is a call to the  Holy Spirit in his mind, a call to Him which is strengthened by this
Tx:10.12  is merely because it is yours. You do not know what it is, but the  Holy Spirit remembers it for you. Ask Him, therefore, what God's Will
Tx:10.12  be too often repeated that you do not know it. Whenever what the  Holy Spirit tells you appears to be coercive, it is only because you
Tx:10.15 You are asked to trust the  Holy Spirit only because He speaks for you. He is the Voice for God,
Tx:10.19  whole. And this willingness opens his own ears to the Voice of the  Holy Spirit, whose message is wholeness. He will enable you to go far
Tx:10.20 The  Holy Spirit cannot speak to an unwelcoming host because He will not
Tx:10.22  is not real freedom, for it still depends on how you see it. The  Holy Spirit is there, although He cannot help you without your
Tx:10.53 The ego analyzes; the  Holy Spirit accepts. The appreciation of wholeness comes only through
Tx:10.73  because it is His Will to be known. The real world is all that the  Holy Spirit has saved for you out of what you have made, and to
Tx:10.75  what you perceive, for its meaning is lost to you. Yet the  Holy Spirit has saved its meaning for you, and if you will let Him
Tx:10.80  than to be told very clearly that if you ask you will receive. The  Holy Spirit will answer every specific problem as long as you believe
Tx:10.81  that asking is taking, and you do not perceive it as sharing. The  Holy Spirit will give you only what is yours and will take nothing in
Tx:10.81  and you share it with God. This is its reality. Would the  Holy Spirit, Who wills only to restore, be capable of misinterpreting
Tx:10.82  the question. You have believed that to ask for guidance of the  Holy Spirit is to ask for deprivation. Little Children of God, you do
Tx:10.87  and are condemning God's Son, whom God condemneth not. Let the  Holy Spirit remove all offense of God's Son against himself and
Tx:10.90  only in yourself. Yet you can learn the truth of yourself of the  Holy Spirit, who will teach you that, as part of God, deceit in you
Tx:11.6  him your help, and you will not perceive God's answer to you. The  Holy Spirit does not need your help in interpreting motivation, but
Tx:11.9  the recognition is necessary to demonstrate the need for escape. The  Holy Spirit must still translate it into truth. If you were left with
Tx:11.13  it, for the awareness of truth cannot be denied. Thus does the  Holy Spirit replace fear with love and translate error into truth.
Tx:11.22  it, for to lay aside means to judge against. If you will look, the  Holy Spirit will judge and will judge truly. He cannot shine away
Tx:11.23  and carefully planned program aimed at learning how to offer to the  Holy Spirit everything you do not want. He knows what to do with it.
Tx:11.35  your investment in the world as you have projected it, allowing the  Holy Spirit to project the real world to you from the altar of God.
Tx:11.39  to find is hardly joyous. Is this the promise you would keep? The  Holy Spirit offers you another promise, and one that will lead to
Tx:11.40  within yourself, for you do not believe your home is there. Yet the  Holy Spirit knows it for you, and He will guide you to your home
Tx:11.42  awaits only the recognition that you have been redeemed. The  Holy Spirit guides you into life eternal, but you must relinquish
Tx:11.53  to teach you how to gain the whole world and lose your own Soul. The  Holy Spirit teaches that you cannot lose your Soul and there is no
Tx:11.54 The  Holy Spirit is your strength because He perceives nothing but your
Tx:11.55  the world real unto yourself, for the real world is the gift of the  Holy Spirit, and so it belongs to you.
Tx:11.57 The  Holy Spirit keeps the vision of Christ for every Son of God who
Tx:11.57  in himself. For reality is one with the Father and the Son, and the  Holy Spirit blesses the real world in Their Name.
Tx:11.58  to you in the quiet light of the Holy Spirit's blessing. For the  Holy Spirit will lead everyone home to his Father, where Christ waits
Tx:11.59  which He knows because He knows His Father's love for Him. When the  Holy Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His Father,
Tx:11.61  will radiate from your acceptance of it for yourself to everyone the  Holy Spirit sends you for your blessing. In every Child of God His
Tx:11.63 The  Holy Spirit is invisible, but you can see the results of His
Tx:11.63  and mass, of prediction and control is transcended, for what the  Holy Spirit enables you to do is clearly beyond all of them.
Tx:11.64 You cannot see the  Holy Spirit, but you can see His manifestations. And unless you do,
Tx:11.64  is healing. God shares His function with you in Heaven, and the  Holy Spirit shares His with you on earth.
Tx:11.66 I am the manifestation of the  Holy Spirit, and when you see me, it will be because you have invited
Tx:11.73  for judgment is not your function. If it is the judgment of the  Holy Spirit, it will be right, for judgment is His function. You
Tx:11.79  true became invisible. Yet it cannot be invisible in itself, for the  Holy Spirit sees it with perfect clarity. It is invisible to you
Tx:11.79  is up to you to decide what reality is. What can be seen is what the  Holy Spirit sees. The definition of reality is God's, not yours. He
Tx:11.82 Everything you made has never been and is invisible because the  Holy Spirit does not see it. Yet what He does see is yours to behold,
Tx:11.82  and truth. God's Son can be seen because his vision is shared. The  Holy Spirit looks upon him and sees nothing else in you. What is
Tx:11.89 Long ago we said that the  Holy Spirit shares the goal of all good teachers, whose ultimate aim
Tx:11.89  themselves unnecessary by teaching their pupils all they know. The  Holy Spirit wills only this, for sharing the Father's love for His
Tx:11.92  he sees will never touch him, for although he believes in it, the  Holy Spirit knows it is not true. The Holy Spirit stands at the end
Tx:11.92  he believes in it, the Holy Spirit knows it is not true. The  Holy Spirit stands at the end of time, where you must be because He
Tx:11.99  guilt real, and if it is real, there is no way to overcome it. The  Holy Spirit dispels it simply through the calm recognition that it
Tx:12.10  full extent. You may also think that it would be easy enough for the  Holy Spirit to show it to you and dispel it, without the need for you
Tx:12.13  it, and the whole world you think you control would vanish. The  Holy Spirit, then, seems to be attacking your fortress, for you would
Tx:12.19  your love, or you will be hiding a dark place in your mind where the  Holy Spirit is not welcome. And you will exempt yourself from His
Tx:12.29  which makes the encounter holy, is excluded from your sight. The  Holy Spirit teaches that you always meet yourself and the encounter
Tx:12.30 The  Holy Spirit interprets time's purpose as rendering the need for it
Tx:12.31  time as one of extending itself in place of eternity, for like the  Holy Spirit, the ego interprets the goal of time as its own. The
Tx:12.31  can occur. Its continuity, then, would keep you in time, while the  Holy Spirit would release you from it. It is His interpretation of
Tx:12.44 The  Holy Spirit is the light in which Christ stands revealed. And all who
Tx:12.44  they looked upon themselves with love, seeing themselves as the  Holy Spirit sees them. And with this vision of the truth in them came
Tx:12.67  happy dreams of love. In these lie your true perceptions, for the  Holy Spirit corrects the world of dreams, where all perception is.
Tx:12.68  are lacking. Yet can you find yourself in such a world? Without the  Holy Spirit, the answer would be no. Yet because of Him, the answer
Tx:12.70 Only the  Holy Spirit knows what you need. For He will give you all things that
Tx:12.73 The  Holy Spirit leads me unto Christ, and where else would I go? What
Tx:12.75  restore to you the peace of mind that we must find together. The  Holy Spirit will teach you to awaken unto us and to yourself. This is
Tx:13.1 All therapy is release from the past. That is why the  Holy Spirit is the only therapist. He teaches that the past does not
Tx:13.2  at its loftiest is never complete. Even the perception of the  Holy Spirit, as perfect as perception can be, is without meaning in
Tx:13.4 Apart from the Father and the Son, the  Holy Spirit has no function. He is not separate from either, being in
Tx:13.7  and everywhere, for miracles offered the Son of God through the  Holy Spirit attune you to reality. The Holy Spirit knows your part in
Tx:13.7  the Son of God through the Holy Spirit attune you to reality. The  Holy Spirit knows your part in the redemption and who are seeking you
Tx:13.14  of everything you cherish, for it is the means by which the  Holy Spirit can separate the false and the true, which you have
Tx:13.16  of God lies the conviction of your own guilt. If you would have the  Holy Spirit make you free of it, accept His offer of Atonement for
Tx:13.21  are holy and cannot be used by you at all. They are used only by the  Holy Spirit, and it is that which makes them pure. [If you displace
Tx:13.21  which makes them pure. [If you displace your guilt upon them, the  Holy Spirit cannot use them.] For by preempting for your own ends
Tx:13.25  learn that guilt is always totally insane and has no reason. The  Holy Spirit seeks not to dispel reality. If guilt were real,
Tx:13.26 The  Holy Spirit does not keep illusions in your mind to frighten you and
Tx:13.26  is gone. Give no reality to guilt, and see no reason for it. The  Holy Spirit does what God would have Him do and has always done so.
Tx:13.29  not in the Mind of God where you are. And this is reason, which the  Holy Spirit would restore to you. He would remove only illusions. All
Tx:13.38  of sharing while you still remember the results of not sharing. The  Holy Spirit points quietly to the contrast, knowing that you will
Tx:13.39  minds are darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the  Holy Spirit to you and gave Him the mission to remove all doubt and
Tx:13.39  He is invariable as the peace in which you dwell and of which the  Holy Spirit reminds you.
Tx:13.40  you realize that this is what you want, and only this. Fear not the  Holy Spirit will fail in what your Father has given Him to do. The
Tx:13.41  They will not prevail against the peace God wills for you. The  Holy Spirit will restore your sanity, because insanity is not the
Tx:13.42  flows to you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it now. The  Holy Spirit will teach you how to use it and, by projecting it, to
Tx:13.43 God willed you Heaven and will always will you nothing else. The  Holy Spirit knows only of His Will. There is no chance that Heaven
Tx:13.43  to save. It will not be possible to exempt yourself from what the  Holy Spirit wills to teach you. Salvation is as sure as God. His
Tx:13.45 The  Holy Spirit cannot fail to undo for you everything you have learned
Tx:13.45  substitute for your reconciliation unto sanity and unto peace. The  Holy Spirit has a very different kind of reconciliation in His Mind
Tx:13.46  Him you cannot wander, and there is no possibility that the plan the  Holy Spirit offers to everyone for the salvation of everyone will not
Tx:13.47  you have the means for learning it and seeing it quite clearly. The  Holy Spirit uses logic as easily and as well as does the ego, except
Tx:13.47  us now turn away from them and follow the simple logic by which the  Holy Spirit teaches you the simple conclusions that speak for truth
Tx:13.50  touched, and your dream is sacred to you. That is why God placed the  Holy Spirit in you, where you placed the dream.
Tx:13.52 Any direction which will lead you where the  Holy Spirit leads you not goes nowhere. Anything you deny which He
Tx:13.53 The  Holy Spirit, therefore, must begin His teaching by showing you what
Tx:13.54 The  Holy Spirit needs a happy learner in whom His mission can be happily
Tx:13.54  must first recognize that you are miserable and not happy. The  Holy Spirit cannot teach without this contrast, for you believe that
Tx:13.56 The  Holy Spirit, seeing where you are but knowing you are elsewhere,
Tx:13.57  they are kings with golden crowns because of them. All this the  Holy Spirit sees and teaches simply that all this is not true. To
Tx:13.57  and delude themselves into believing that it is not nothing, the  Holy Spirit says, with steadfast quietness:
Tx:13.59 Like you, the  Holy Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He
Tx:13.61  learner, you must give everything that you have learned over to the  Holy Spirit to be unlearned for you. And then begin to learn the
Tx:13.68  the crucifixion and the resurrection, between the ego and the  Holy Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy Spirit the
Tx:13.68  the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt; the  Holy Spirit the decision for guiltlessness. The power of decision is
Tx:13.70  darkness has no power over the Son of God is the happy lesson the  Holy Spirit teaches and would have you teach with Him. It is His joy
Tx:13.72  himself the penalty of guilt in place of all the happy teaching the  Holy Spirit would gladly offer him.
Tx:13.74  of value. Yet because they do not understand their will, the  Holy Spirit quietly understands it for them and gives them what they
Tx:13.76  Make no decisions about what it is or where it lies, but ask of the  Holy Spirit everything and leave all decisions to His gentle counsel.
Tx:13.77  would define what salvation is and what you would be saved from. The  Holy Spirit knows that all salvation is escape from guilt. You have
Tx:13.77  against this strange distortion of the purity of the Son of God, the  Holy Spirit is your only friend. He is the strong protector of your
Tx:13.80 Say to the  Holy Spirit only, “Decide for me,” and it is done. For His decisions
Tx:13.80  cannot know when all knowledge lies behind every decision which the  Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His love and teach
Tx:13.92  in summer. Only your own volition seems to make deciding hard. The  Holy Spirit will not delay at all in answering your every question
Tx:14.3  God. It does not teach you what you are or what your Father is. The  Holy Spirit, Who remembers this for you, merely teaches you how to
Tx:14.4  unlike the way he sees himself. God can communicate only to the  Holy Spirit in your mind because only He shares the knowledge of what
Tx:14.4  only He shares the knowledge of what you are with God. And only the  Holy Spirit can answer God for you, for only He knows what God is.
Tx:14.5  nothing of value here and everything of value there. Listen to the  Holy Spirit and to God through Him. He speaks of you to you. There is
Tx:14.14  aim. It sees as guilty, and by its condemnation, it would kill. The  Holy Spirit sees only guiltlessness, and in His gentleness, He would
Tx:14.17 The quiet light in which the  Holy Spirit dwells within you is merely perfect openness in which
Tx:14.20  you have made for breaking your communication with your Father. The  Holy Spirit reinterprets it as a means of reestablishing what has not
Tx:14.21  maker. You who made it are but expressing conflict, from which the  Holy Spirit would release you. Leave what you would communicate to
Tx:14.28  not defend itself. Defense is of your making. God knows it not. The  Holy Spirit uses defenses on behalf of truth only because you made
Tx:14.29  you made, must be gently turned to your own good, translated by the  Holy Spirit from means of self-destruction to means of preservation
Tx:14.30 The  Holy Spirit asks of you but this—bring to Him every secret you have
Tx:14.31  one purpose which He shares with you. The single vision which the  Holy Spirit offers you will bring this oneness to your mind with
Tx:14.32  let all that would hide your glory be brought to the judgment of the  Holy Spirit and there undone. Whom He would save for glory is saved
Tx:14.34  do know God and also this. All this is safe within you, where the  Holy Spirit shines. He shines not in division, but in the meeting
Tx:14.34  holy meeting place of the unseparated Father and His Son lies in the  Holy Spirit and in you. All interference in the communication that
Tx:14.43  to see no one can fail to understand. It is the message that the  Holy Spirit is holding to the mirror that is in him. He recognizes it
Tx:14.50  you have no basis at all for ordering your thoughts. This lesson the  Holy Spirit teaches by giving you shining examples to show you that
Tx:14.55  you hold is for yourself. If you would remember your Father, let the  Holy Spirit order your thoughts and give only the answer with which
Tx:14.56 As God communicates to the  Holy Spirit in you, so does the Holy Spirit translate His
Tx:14.56 As God communicates to the Holy Spirit in you, so does the  Holy Spirit translate His communications through you so you can
Tx:14.56  for all. Nothing lives in secret, and what you would hide from the  Holy Spirit is nothing. Every interpretation you would lay upon a
Tx:14.56  interpretation you would lay upon a brother is senseless. Let the  Holy Spirit show him to you and teach you both his love and need for
Tx:14.63  this in one form or another. And each bright lesson, with which the  Holy Spirit will replace the dark ones you do not accept and hide,
Tx:14.68  with certain aspects of your lives alone that the guidance of the  Holy Spirit is limited. Thus would you make Him undependable and use
Tx:14.69 Do you think that what the  Holy Spirit would have you give He would withhold from you? You have
Tx:14.73  not upon the ego for anything. It is only this that you need do. The  Holy Spirit will, of Himself, fill every mind that so makes room for
Tx:15.2  Spirit's teaching are far in the future. This is not so. For the  Holy Spirit uses time in His own way and is not bound by it. [Time is
Tx:15.2  uses time to support its belief in destruction. The ego, like the  Holy Spirit, uses time to convince you of the inevitability of the
Tx:15.2  teaching. To the ego the goal is death, which is its end. But to the  Holy Spirit the goal is life, which has no end.
Tx:15.8 The  Holy Spirit teaches thus: There is no hell. Hell is only what the ego
Tx:15.8  from understanding the present, because you are afraid of it. The  Holy Spirit leads as steadily to Heaven as the ego drives to hell.
Tx:15.8  leads as steadily to Heaven as the ego drives to hell. For the  Holy Spirit, Who knows only the present, uses it to undo the fear by
Tx:15.9 The  Holy Spirit would undo all of this now. Fear is not of the present
Tx:15.12  “How long is an instant?” Could you not give so short a time to the  Holy Spirit for your salvation? He asks no more, for He has no need
Tx:15.13 You will never give this holy instant to the  Holy Spirit on behalf of your release while you are unwilling to give
Tx:15.13  attest to your willingness to be released and to offer time to the  Holy Spirit for His use of it. How long is an instant? It is as short
Tx:15.13  are enslaved by time and thus make time their friend for them. The  Holy Spirit gives their blessed instant to you through your giving
Tx:15.15 Time is your friend if you leave it to the  Holy Spirit to use. He needs but very little to restore God's whole
Tx:15.15  perfect release. Offer the miracle of the holy instant through the  Holy Spirit and leave His giving it to you to Him.
Tx:15.16  For unless God is bound, you cannot be. An instant offered to the  Holy Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, and in that instant you
Tx:15.16  the blessed instant, you will let go all your past learning, and the  Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the whole lesson of peace. What
Tx:15.19  Yet they are far stronger and much more compelling witnesses for the  Holy Spirit. And they support His strength. It is, therefore, your
Tx:15.19  It is, therefore, your choice whether they support the ego or the  Holy Spirit in you. And you will know which you have chosen by their
Tx:15.19  by their reactions. A Son of God who has been released through the  Holy Spirit in a brother, if the release is complete, is always
Tx:15.19  of this, you have not given one single instant completely to the  Holy Spirit. For when you have, you will be sure you have. You will
Tx:15.20  until you hear one witness whom you have wholly released through the  Holy Spirit. And then you will doubt no more. The holy instant has
Tx:15.25 There is no doubt about what your function is, for the  Holy Spirit knows what it is. There is no doubt about its magnitude,
Tx:15.26  to the ego or host to God?” Let this question be asked you by the  Holy Spirit in you every time you make a decision. For every decision
Tx:15.27  for hell and will bring you awareness of what you decided for. The  Holy Spirit can hold your magnitude, clean of all littleness, clearly
Tx:15.48  perfect. In His function as Interpreter of what you have made, the  Holy Spirit uses special relationships, which you have chosen to
Tx:15.49 The  Holy Spirit knows no one is special. Yet He also perceives that you
Tx:15.50  which you would substitute for another has not been offered to the  Holy Spirit for His use. There is no substitute for love. If you
Tx:15.52  special relationships, and although this is not so in Heaven, the  Holy Spirit knows how to bring a touch of Heaven to them here. In the
Tx:15.53  have built by which to judge your brothers. Once this is gone, the  Holy Spirit substitutes His frame of reference for it. His frame of
Tx:15.54  you have been told to offer miracles as Christ directs and let the  Holy Spirit bring to you those who are seeking you. Yet in the holy
Tx:15.62  the light behind it can have faith in love without fear. Yet the  Holy Spirit gives you this faith because He offered it to me and I
Tx:15.62  instant will be denied you, for I denied it not. And through me the  Holy Spirit gave it unto you, as you will give it. Let no need that
Tx:15.69  chain that binds the Son of God to guilt, and it is this chain the  Holy Spirit would remove from his holy mind. For the chain of
Tx:15.69  closely at the relationships which the ego contrives and let the  Holy Spirit judge them truly. For it is certain that, if you will
Tx:15.75  will feel guilty about communication and will be afraid to hear the  Holy Spirit, recognizing in His voice your own need to communicate.
Tx:15.75  Spirit, recognizing in His voice your own need to communicate. The  Holy Spirit cannot teach through fear. And how can He communicate
Tx:15.79 The holy instant does not replace the need for learning, for the  Holy Spirit must not leave you as your Teacher until the holy instant
Tx:15.83 The  Holy Spirit is God's attempt to free you of what He does not
Tx:15.83  And because of the Source of the attempt, it will succeed. The  Holy Spirit asks you to respond as God does, for He would teach you
Tx:15.84 The  Holy Spirit knows that it is not understandable, and yet He
Tx:15.85  limit your perception of your brothers to the body, so would the  Holy Spirit release your vision and let you see the Great Rays
Tx:15.89 If you would but let the  Holy Spirit tell you of the love of God for you and the need your
Tx:15.90  vision of God's Son to what interferes with his release and what the  Holy Spirit must undo to set him free. For his belief in limits has
Tx:15.91  and your thoughts will be as free as God's. As you let the  Holy Spirit teach you how to use the body only for purposes of
Tx:15.92  my birth into the world. Yet you know not how to do it. Let the  Holy Spirit teach you, and let me celebrate your birth through Him.
Tx:15.103 This Christmas, give the  Holy Spirit everything that would hurt you. Let yourself be healed
Tx:15.111 I give you to the  Holy Spirit as part of myself. I know that you will be released,
Tx:16.1  suffering is shared. The capacity to empathize is very useful to the  Holy Spirit, provided you let Him use it in His way. [His way is very
Tx:16.2  this you may be sure—if you will merely sit quietly by and let the  Holy Spirit relate through you, you will empathize with strength and
Tx:16.7  conflict because they contain an element of specialness. Only the  Holy Spirit recognizes foolish needs as well as real ones. And He
Tx:16.13  Sonship as one has been made. When you have made this joining as the  Holy Spirit bids you and have offered it to Him to use as He knows
Tx:16.14  Yet this is your position. You would have perfect faith in the  Holy Spirit and in the effects of His teaching if you were not afraid
Tx:16.19  that makes for happiness. You have never given any problem to the  Holy Spirit He has not solved for you, nor will you ever do so. You
Tx:16.25 Your teaching has already done this, for the  Holy Spirit is part of you. Created by God, He left neither God nor
Tx:16.25  of the Self you do not know. And they communicate to you through the  Holy Spirit, and their power and gratitude to you for their creation
Tx:16.41  more forget the truth in you than you can fail to remember it. The  Holy Spirit is the bridge to Him, made from your willingness to unite
Tx:16.47  There can be no disagreement on this, because both the ego and the  Holy Spirit accept it. They are, however, in complete disagreement on
Tx:16.47  disagreement on what completion is and how it is accomplished. The  Holy Spirit knows that completion lies first in union and then in the
Tx:16.60  be unable to find you and comfort you. There is a way in which the  Holy Spirit asks your help if you would have His. The holy instant is
Tx:16.69 The  Holy Spirit asks only this little help of you. Whenever your thoughts
Tx:16.75 Against the ego's insane notion of salvation, the  Holy Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said before that the
Tx:16.75  Holy Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said before that the  Holy Spirit must teach through comparisons and uses opposites to
Tx:16.76  will not attempt this long. In the holy instant, the power of the  Holy Spirit will prevail because you joined Him. The illusions you
Tx:16.77  His Son will always be exactly as he was created. And everything the  Holy Spirit teaches you is to remind you that you have received what
Tx:17.7  you will see the Son of God. You will behold the beauty which the  Holy Spirit loves to look upon and which He thanks the Father for. He
Tx:17.13  trembling with readiness to be given you. The eagerness of the  Holy Spirit to give you this is so intense He would not wait,
Tx:17.19  of it and join with fantasies in uninterrupted “bliss.” How can the  Holy Spirit bring His interpretation of the body as a means of
Tx:17.21 The  Holy Spirit wills only to make His resolutions complete and perfect,
Tx:17.23 This is the only part of the relationship the  Holy Spirit sees because He knows that only this is true. You have
Tx:17.28  yet it is possible to make happy. We have said repeatedly that the  Holy Spirit would not deprive you of your special relationships but
Tx:17.29  the special relationship was the ego's answer to the creation of the  Holy Spirit, Who was God's answer to the separation. For although the
Tx:17.30  system which the ego evolved to protect the separation from the  Holy Spirit was in response to the gift with which God blessed it and
Tx:17.30  within itself the truth about everything. And the truth is that the  Holy Spirit is in close relationship with you because in Him is your
Tx:17.30  to you. The relationship with Him has never been broken because the  Holy Spirit has not been separate from anyone since the separation.
Tx:17.44  it was. This is the first result of offering the relationship to the  Holy Spirit to use for His purposes.
Tx:17.45 This invitation is accepted immediately, and the  Holy Spirit wastes no time in introducing the practical results of
Tx:17.48  that the rewards of faith are being introduced. If you believed the  Holy Spirit was there to accept the relationship, why would you now
Tx:17.53 You undertook together to invite the  Holy Spirit into your relationship. He could not have entered
Tx:17.61  for the ego believes the situation brings the experience. The  Holy Spirit knows that the situation is as the goal determines it and
Tx:17.62  Where the goal of truth is set, there faith must be. The  Holy Spirit sees the situation as a whole. The goal establishes the
Tx:17.72  [Truth calls for faith, and faith makes room for truth.] When the  Holy Spirit changed the purpose of your relationship by exchanging
Tx:17.75 This simple courtesy is all the  Holy Spirit asks of you. Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon
Tx:18.1  perceive at once how much at variance this is with the goal the  Holy Spirit has given you and would accomplish for you. To substitute
Tx:18.2 The  Holy Spirit never uses substitutes. Where the ego perceives one
Tx:18.2  Where the ego perceives one person as a replacement for another, the  Holy Spirit sees them joined and indivisible. He does not judge
Tx:18.2  separate. Nothing can come between what God has joined and what the  Holy Spirit sees as one. But everything seems to come between the
Tx:18.8  dwells the living God you never left and Who never left you. The  Holy Spirit takes you gently by the hand and retraces with you your
Tx:18.9  entered here, nor ever will. Here is the radiant truth to which the  Holy Spirit has committed your relationship. Let Him bring it here,
Tx:18.20 The  Holy Spirit, ever practical in His wisdom, accepts your dreams and
Tx:18.20  your dreams of fear are changed to happy dreams. That is what the  Holy Spirit does in your special relationship. He does not destroy it
Tx:18.21  all who come within your sight. Through it, the blessing which the  Holy Spirit has laid upon it will be extended. Think not that He has
Tx:18.23  special relationship meet its conditions. In your relationship, the  Holy Spirit has gently laid the real world—the world of happy
Tx:18.32  that you realize that you cannot do more. Do not attempt to give the  Holy Spirit what He does not ask, or you will add the ego unto Him
Tx:18.45  it is still a special relationship. Yet it is very useful to the  Holy Spirit, Who has a special function here. It will become the
Tx:18.46  relationship is threatened by anything, stop instantly and offer the  Holy Spirit your willingness in spite of fear to let Him exchange
Tx:18.48  it now. And so I choose this instant as the one to offer to the  Holy Spirit, that His blessing may descend on us and keep us both in
Tx:18.52  function of the body, it cannot change its function from what the  Holy Spirit establishes it to be. The body was not made by love. Yet
Tx:18.69  activity of the body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the  Holy Spirit comes and there abides. He will remain when you forget
Tx:18.84  the little thought that seems split off and separate, which the  Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's keeping and needs no
Tx:18.85  Heaven has not lost it, but you have lost sight of Heaven. Let the  Holy Spirit remove it from the withered kingdom in which you set it
Tx:18.87  Yet God can bring you there if you are willing to follow the  Holy Spirit through seeming terror, trusting Him not to abandon you
Tx:19.2  And he is healed because you offered faith to him, giving him to the  Holy Spirit and releasing him from every demand your ego would make
Tx:19.2  make of him. Thus do you see him free, and in this vision does the  Holy Spirit share. And since He shares it, He has given it, and so He
Tx:19.15  your little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith help the  Holy Spirit prepare the ground for the most holy garden which He
Tx:19.27  perception, for it is sin that calls for punishment, not error. The  Holy Spirit cannot punish sin. Mistakes He recognizes and would
Tx:19.28  help that you would keep unheard and thus unanswered? In time the  Holy Spirit clearly sees the Son of God can make mistakes. On this
Tx:19.38  placed before it. This will you do, for nothing undertaken with the  Holy Spirit remains unfinished. You can indeed be sure of nothing you
Tx:19.38  of nothing you see outside you, but of this you can be sure: the  Holy Spirit asks that you offer Him a resting-place where you will
Tx:19.39  are looking where He is and not apart from Him. You cannot see the  Holy Spirit, but you can see your brothers truly. And the light in
Tx:19.39  there for seeing then? When God has taken the last step Himself, the  Holy Spirit will gather all your thanks and gratitude which you have
Tx:19.43  purpose apart from each other nor apart from the one you asked the  Holy Spirit to share with you. The little wall will fall away so
Tx:19.46  settle briefly upon anything, for it has no purpose now. Before the  Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it seemed to have a mighty
Tx:19.53 The  Holy Spirit has given you love's messengers to send instead of those
Tx:19.54 If you send forth only the messengers the  Holy Spirit gives you, wanting no messages but theirs, you will see
Tx:19.54  cannot ask love's messengers to remove from it and see it still. The  Holy Spirit has given you His messengers to send to each other and
Tx:19.62  suffer. Is it a sacrifice to be removed from what can suffer? The  Holy Spirit does not demand you sacrifice the hope of the body's
Tx:19.62  can it bring you fear of pain. Pain is the only “sacrifice” the  Holy Spirit asks, and this He would remove.
Tx:19.68 Your little part is but to give the  Holy Spirit the whole idea of sacrifice. And to accept the peace He
Tx:19.73  invested is given by the sender and the receiver. The ego and the  Holy Spirit both recognize this, and both also recognize that here
Tx:19.73  also recognize that here the sender and receiver are the same. The  Holy Spirit tells you this with joy. The ego hides it, for it would
Tx:19.76  and what is offered must also be received to be truly given. For the  Holy Spirit, too, is a communication medium, receiving from the
Tx:19.76  the Father and offering His messages unto the Son. Like the ego, the  Holy Spirit is both the sender and the receiver. For what is sent
Tx:19.77 To you in whose special relationship the  Holy Spirit entered, it is given to release and be released from the
Tx:19.86  you. Your newborn purpose is nursed by angels, cherished by the  Holy Spirit, and protected by God Himself. It needs not your
Tx:19.94  And so it is with this. The desire to get rid of peace and drive the  Holy Spirit from you fades in the presence of the quiet recognition
Tx:19.102  each of you is one who offers you the chalice of Atonement, for the  Holy Spirit is in him. Would you hold his sins against him or accept
Tx:19.106  not separate in death. Behold the gift of freedom that I gave the  Holy Spirit for both of you. And be you free together, as you offer
Tx:19.106  for both of you. And be you free together, as you offer to the  Holy Spirit this same gift. And giving it, receive it of Him in
Tx:20.11  of illusion that God Himself could give. For what God gave the  Holy Spirit, you have received. The Son of God looks unto you for his
Tx:20.22  a purpose, but he will not remain before the shining light the  Holy Spirit offered and you accepted. For there the stranger is made
Tx:20.28  power at all. Power is of God, given by Him and reawakened by the  Holy Spirit, Who knows that as you give, you gain. He gives no power
Tx:20.28  and misery and pain. These things have not occurred because the  Holy Spirit sees them not and gives no power to their seeming source.
Tx:20.28  keep you free of them. Being without illusion of what you are, the  Holy Spirit merely gives everything to God, Who has already given and
Tx:20.29  And so it is with yours. [Salvation is a lesson in giving, as the  Holy Spirit interprets it.] It is the reawakening of the laws of God
Tx:20.35  one function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the  Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort.
Tx:20.41  is as little use to you as it is to him. When it is used only as the  Holy Spirit teaches, it has no function, for minds need not the body
Tx:20.44 Be comforted and feel the  Holy Spirit watching over you in love and perfect confidence in what
Tx:20.49  in its idolatry. Here it is “safe,” for here love cannot enter. The  Holy Spirit does not build His temples where love can never be. Would
Tx:20.51  have escaped the body. Where you are the body cannot enter, for the  Holy Spirit has set His temple there.
Tx:20.54  true relationship the Son of God has with his Father in reality. The  Holy Spirit rests within it in the certainty it will endure forever.
Tx:20.60 To obtain the goal, the  Holy Spirit indeed asked little. He asks no more to give the means as
Tx:20.65  body is the sign that you lack vision and have denied the means the  Holy Spirit offers you to serve His purpose. How can a holy
Tx:20.69  for it with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the  Holy Spirit and at one with Him on what salvation is. Be willing,
Tx:20.70 The  Holy Spirit guarantees that what God willed and gave you shall be
Tx:20.70  of destruction be preferred and chosen to replace the holy home the  Holy Spirit offers, where He will dwell with you?
Tx:20.76  at all or merely judged against. Vision is the means by which the  Holy Spirit translates your nightmares into happy dreams; your wild
Tx:21.13  relationship transformed to joy; the little gift you offer to the  Holy Spirit for which He gives you everything; the very little on
Tx:21.17  decide for God for you. This is the little gift you offer to the  Holy Spirit, and even this He gave to you to give yourself. For by
Tx:21.22 The  Holy Spirit can give you faith in holiness and vision to see it
Tx:21.29  from the accepted purpose of the relationship. And that is why the  Holy Spirit must change its purpose to make it useful to Him and
Tx:21.32  the means by which the goal of holiness is reached. Through them the  Holy Spirit leads you to the real world and away from all illusions
Tx:21.34 The  Holy Spirit has a use for all the means for sin by which you sought
Tx:21.34  you might choose among your brothers and seek for sin with them. The  Holy Spirit sees perception as a means to teach you that the vision
Tx:21.37 Those who believe in sin must think the  Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they think their
Tx:21.37  this is how they think their purpose is accomplished. Brothers, the  Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice brings nothing. He makes no
Tx:21.39 Think you the  Holy Spirit is concerned with this? He gives not what it is His
Tx:21.41 The  Holy Spirit will never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will
Tx:21.46 There is no inconsistency in what the  Holy Spirit teaches. This is the reasoning of the sane. You have
Tx:21.53  you now, being eternal. You must have set aside a place in which the  Holy Spirit can abide and where He is. He must have been there since
Tx:21.66  in order to escape from reason. What madness would conceal, the  Holy Spirit still holds out for everyone to look upon with gladness.
Tx:21.82  asks if you are willing to exchange the world of sin for what the  Holy Spirit sees, since it is this the world of sin denies. And
Tx:22.20  Therefore, says reason, if escape from guilt was given to the  Holy Spirit as His purpose, and by One to Whom nothing He wills can
Tx:22.26  has given to your holy relationship is there. For what He gave the  Holy Spirit to give to you, He gave. Would you not look upon the
Tx:22.46  Belief in sin needs great defense and at enormous cost. All that the  Holy Spirit offers must be defended against and sacrificed. For sin
Tx:22.52  Yet even in this confusion, so profound it cannot be described, the  Holy Spirit waits in gentle patience, as certain of the outcome as He
Tx:22.56  laid in Heaven through himself? The gentle service that you give the  Holy Spirit is service to yourself. You who are now His means must
Tx:22.58  and only this.] Accept this one and serve it willingly, for what the  Holy Spirit does with the gifts you give each other, to whom He
Tx:22.63  conclude because you can attack you must be different. Yet does the  Holy Spirit explain this differently. Because you are not different,
Tx:23.16  everything is given those who would remember Him. Over His home the  Holy Spirit watches, sure that its peace can never be disturbed.
Tx:23.50  and the miracles you have the power to extend to all. Yet does the  Holy Spirit understand how to increase your little gifts and make
Tx:24.15  you really are, how can you know the truth? What answer that the  Holy Spirit gives can reach you, when it is your specialness to which
Tx:24.52  of God's Son is all the world is for. That is the only purpose the  Holy Spirit sees in it and thus the only one it has. Until you see
Tx:25.8  may reach to you through what you understand. Father and Son and  Holy Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join as one in truth.
Tx:25.8  understanding in the part of you that shares His Father's Will. The  Holy Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad desire to be separate,
Tx:25.9 The  Holy Spirit serves Christ's purpose in your mind, so that the aim of
Tx:25.17 The  Holy Spirit is the frame God set around the part of Him that you
Tx:25.21  and giving it you learn to understand His gift to you. And give the  Holy Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the Son alike. Nothing
Tx:25.30  must have been wrong. And thus is change made possible. The  Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far beyond the chance of change.
Tx:25.47  is the only function meaningful in time. It is the means the  Holy Spirit uses to translate specialness from sin into salvation.
Tx:25.49 The  Holy Spirit needs your special function that His may be fulfilled.
Tx:25.49  salvation easily and well. The Son of God can make no choice the  Holy Spirit cannot employ on his behalf and not against himself. Only
Tx:25.50 And if the  Holy Spirit can commute each sentence that you laid upon yourself
Tx:25.54 The  Holy Spirit has the power to change the whole foundation of the world
Tx:25.61  the rock on which salvation rests, the vantage point from which the  Holy Spirit gives meaning and direction to the plan in which your
Tx:25.63 The  Holy Spirit can use all that you give to Him for your salvation. But
Tx:25.68  that their own belief in justice must entail. And so they fear the  Holy Spirit and perceive the “wrath” of God in Him. [They are unjust
Tx:25.69  they think the loss of sin a curse. And flee [the blessing of] the  Holy Spirit as if He were a messenger from hell sent from above in
Tx:25.74 As specialness cares not who pays the cost of sin, so it be paid, the  Holy Spirit heeds not who looks on innocence at last, provided it is
Tx:25.74  if he sees truly. Simple justice asks no more. Of each one does the  Holy Spirit ask if he will be that one, so justice may return to love
Tx:25.75  unto his sinlessness and not his sin. How little need you give the  Holy Spirit that simple justice may be given you!
Tx:25.77  for His holy Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the  Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your special function shows you nothing
Tx:25.80 Be certain any answer to a problem the  Holy Spirit solves will always be one in which no one loses. And this
Tx:25.80  it greater, harder to resolve, and more unfair. It is impossible the  Holy Spirit could see unfairness as a resolution. To Him, what is
Tx:25.82  but as God knows it, and as knowledge is reflected in the sight the  Holy Spirit gives.
Tx:25.84  gift of healing and deliverance and peace. To give a problem to the  Holy Spirit to solve for you means that you want it solved. To keep
Tx:26.6  its reality. Nor can you lose what you would sacrifice nor keep the  Holy Spirit from His task of showing you that it has not been lost.
Tx:26.10 It is not difficult to understand the reasons why you do not ask the  Holy Spirit to solve all problems for you. He has not greater
Tx:26.11 The  Holy Spirit offers you release from every problem that you think you
Tx:26.13  It does injustice to the Son of God and therefore is not true. The  Holy Spirit does not evaluate injustices as great or small or more or
Tx:26.15  you call forth will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor will the  Holy Spirit be content until it is received by everyone. For what you
Tx:26.33  you who still believe you live in time and know not it is gone, the  Holy Spirit still guides you through the infinitely small and
Tx:26.73  the working out can seem to take forever. The change of purpose the  Holy Spirit brought to your relationship has in it all effects that
Tx:26.74  of pain. This is a sacrifice of now, which could not be the cost the  Holy Spirit asks for what He gave without a cost at all.
Tx:26.89  on it by rendering it purposeless, without the function that the  Holy Spirit sees. And simple justice has been thus denied to every
Tx:26.90  without a purpose in a futile world. The world is fair because the  Holy Spirit has brought injustice to the light within, and there has
Tx:27.3  you offer him you show yourself and give it all your faith. The  Holy Spirit offers you to give to him a picture of yourself in which
Tx:27.5  perceived and loved. Now in the hands made gentle by His touch, the  Holy Spirit lays a picture of a different you. It is a picture of a
Tx:27.12  This thing without a purpose cannot hide the function that the  Holy Spirit gave. Let, then, its purpose and your function both be
Tx:27.20 The “cost” of your serenity is his. This is the “price” the  Holy Spirit and the world interpret differently. The world perceives
Tx:27.20  as a statement of the “fact” that your salvation sacrifices his. The  Holy Spirit knows your healing is the witness unto his and cannot be
Tx:27.21  to prevent a shift of balance in the sacrifice. How could the  Holy Spirit be deterred an instant, even less, to reason with an
Tx:27.26  his presence is perceived as all of you. To this remaining half the  Holy Spirit must represent the other half until you recognize it is
Tx:27.27  which cannot be shared, and so it cannot be the function which the  Holy Spirit sees as His. And you can rest assured that He will not
Tx:27.33  the means by which the truth is represented temporarily. It lets the  Holy Spirit make exchange of pictures possible until the time when
Tx:27.44  what he does not have? And who can share what he denies himself? The  Holy Spirit speaks to you. He does not speak to someone else. Yet by
Tx:27.54  It is a loud, obscuring voice whose shrieks would silence what the  Holy Spirit says and keep His words from your awareness. Pain compels
Tx:27.74 Rest in the  Holy Spirit and allow His gentle dreams to take the place of those
Tx:27.85 In gentle laughter does the  Holy Spirit perceive the cause and looks not to effects. How else
Tx:27.87 The  Holy Spirit will repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance
Tx:28.3  memory, which is not used to interfere with truth. All things the  Holy Spirit can employ for healing have been given Him, without the
Tx:28.4 The  Holy Spirit can indeed make use of memory, for God Himself is there.
Tx:28.8 This is the Cause the  Holy Spirit has remembered for you, when you would forget. It is not
Tx:28.25 Like every lesson which the  Holy Spirit requests you learn, the miracle is clear. It demonstrates
Tx:28.43 The  Holy Spirit is in both your minds, and He is One because there is no
Tx:28.43  space between them vacant. And the Father comes to join His Son the  Holy Spirit joined.
Tx:29.29  of him, and there is no betrayal but of this. The core of dreams the  Holy Spirit gives is never one of fear. The coverings may not appear
Tx:29.32  can intrude upon the sacred Son of God within. Here is the role the  Holy Spirit gives to you who wait upon the Son of God and would
Tx:29.36  Why does it seem so hard to share this dream? Because unless the  Holy Spirit gives the dream its function, it was made for hate and
Tx:29.60  but laugh if idols could intrude upon his peace. It is for him the  Holy Spirit speaks and tells you idols have no purpose here. For more
Tx:30.33 Do you not understand that to oppose the  Holy Spirit is to fight yourself? He tells you but your will; He
Tx:30.82  it cannot be that meaning changes constantly and yet is true. The  Holy Spirit looks upon the world as with one purpose, changelessly
Tx:31.5  for their learning is the only purpose for your learning skill the  Holy Spirit sees in all the world. His simple lessons in forgiveness
Tx:31.50  beyond its roads nor realize the way you see yourself. Now must the  Holy Spirit find a way to help you see this concept of the self must
Tx:31.53  self. And both would go if either one were ever raised to doubt. The  Holy Spirit does not seek to throw you into panic. So He merely asks
W1:43.1  of God. His is the realm of knowledge. Yet He has created the  Holy Spirit as the Mediator between perception and knowledge. Without
W1:43.1  purified that it will lead to knowledge. That is its function as the  Holy Spirit sees it. Therefore, that is its function in truth.
W1:43.2  holiness to his awareness. Perception has no meaning. Yet does the  Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God's. Healed perception
W1:64.2  was the purpose of the body itself. Yet we have learned that the  Holy Spirit has another use for all the illusions you have made, and
W1:64.2  you have made, and therefore He sees another purpose in them. To the  Holy Spirit, the world is a place where you learn to forgive yourself
W1:64.6  from just this one simple choice. That is the only choice the  Holy Spirit sees. Therefore it is the only choice there is.
W1:65.4  long range disciplinary training which your mind needs, so that the  Holy Spirit can use it consistently for the purpose He shares with
W1:66.2 The ego does constant battle with the  Holy Spirit on the fundamental question of what your function is. So
W1:66.2  of what your function is. So does it do constant battle with the  Holy Spirit about what your happiness is. It is not a two-way battle.
W1:66.2  happiness is. It is not a two-way battle. The ego attacks and the  Holy Spirit does not respond. He knows what your function is. He
W1:66.9  by the ego and is made up of illusions. The other is the home of the  Holy Spirit, where truth abides. There are no other guides but these
W1:66.9  but the fear which the ego always engenders and the love which the  Holy Spirit always offers to replace it.
W1:75.9  that your forgiveness entitles you to vision. Understand that the  Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving.
W1:77.6 The  Holy Spirit cannot but assure you that your request is granted. The
W1:78.6  enemy is more than friend when he is freed to take the holy role the  Holy Spirit has assigned to him. Let him be savior unto you today.
W1:78.10  long for this. He would be free and make his freedom yours. The  Holy Spirit leans from him to you, seeing no separation in God's Son.
W1:78.11  No dark grievances obscure the sight of him. You have allowed the  Holy Spirit to express through him the role God gave Him that you
W1:78.11  you laid your images aside and looked upon the miracle of love the  Holy Spirit showed you in their place. The world and Heaven join in
W1:80.2  You have recognized your only problem, opening the way for the  Holy Spirit to give you God's answer. You have laid deception aside
W1:90.5  with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. The  Holy Spirit will teach me this if I will let Him. And I will
W1:91.9 If you are not a body, what are you? You need to be aware of what the  Holy Spirit uses to replace the image of a body in your mind. You
W1:95.9 The  Holy Spirit is not delayed in His teaching by your mistakes. He can

W1:134.15 That this may be accomplished, let us give a quarter of an  hour twice today and spend it with the Guide Who understands the
W1:136.15  the truth. This is our aim today. And we will give a quarter of an  hour twice to ask the truth to come to us and set us free.
W1:137.13 We will remember, as the  hour strikes, our function is to let our minds be healed that we may

W1:138.12  of our waking day to the decision with which we awoke. As every  hour passed, we have declared our choice again in a brief quiet time
W1:139.13  of creation, we repeat our dedication to our cause today each  hour, as we lay aside all thoughts that would distract us from our

Tx:3.76  to fear of retaliation by a “father figure,” a particularly curious  idea in view of the fact that no one uses the term to refer to the
Tx:3.80  it was given you from beyond this world. Only in this world is the  idea of an authority problem meaningful. The world is not left by
Tx:4.5  example of the kind of thinking which stems from it. The  idea of buying and selling implies precisely the kind of exchange

Tx:4.25  There could be no better example of the fact that the ego is an  idea, though not a reality-based thought.
Tx:4.28  merely know God. Belief that there is another way is the loftiest  idea of which ego thinking is capable. That is because it contains a
Tx:4.32  as its home and does try to satisfy itself through the body, but the  idea that this is possible is a decision of the ego, which is
Tx:4.38  to evaluate it unless its status as fact is questioned. Every  idea to which the ego has accorded the status of fact is
Tx:4.49  you have for the self you have made. You project onto your own  idea of yourself the will to separate, which conflicts with the love
Tx:4.52 It has never really entered your mind to give up every  idea you ever had that opposes knowledge. You retain thousands of

Tx:4.76  defeated. The ego has countenanced some strange compromises with the  idea of the eternal, making many odd attempts to relate the concept
Tx:4.77  examples. A more recent ego attempt is particularly noteworthy. The  idea of preserving the body by suspension, thus giving it the kind of

Tx:5.8  more who believe in them, the stronger they become. Everything is an  idea. How, then, is it possible that giving and losing can be
Tx:5.21  light. The Holy Spirit is the radiance that you must let banish the  idea of darkness. His is the glory before which dissociation falls
Tx:5.28  to awake and be glad. The world is very tired, because it is the  idea of weariness. Our task is the joyous one of waking it to the

Tx:5.62 However ridiculous the  idea of attacking God may be to the sane mind, never forget that the
Tx:5.83 The  idea of “set” is among the better psychological concepts. Actually,
Tx:6.23  of “punishment” involves the projection of blame and reinforces the  idea that blame is justified. The behavior that results is a lesson
Tx:6.33  future only because your mind is not in perfect alignment with the  idea and therefore does not want it now.
Tx:6.35 The ego can accept the  idea that return is necessary because it can so easily make the idea
Tx:6.35  the idea that return is necessary because it can so easily make the  idea seem so difficult. Yet the Holy Spirit tells you that even
Tx:6.35  any problem. It does not follow, however, that you cannot make the  idea of return [both] necessary and difficult. It is surely clear,
Tx:6.39  projecting and being. This is because, as we have said before, every  idea begins in the mind of the thinker and extends outward.
Tx:6.44 Only thus can you win back the knowledge that you threw away. An  idea which you share, you must have. It awakens in you through the
Tx:7.28  of their brothers as anything other than their perfect equals, the  idea of competition has entered their minds. Do not underestimate
Tx:7.28  minds. Do not underestimate your need to be vigilant against this  idea, because all your conflicts come from it. It is the belief that
Tx:7.45 Love is incapable of any exceptions. Only if there is fear does the  idea of exceptions seem to be meaningful. Exceptions are fearful,
Tx:7.63  cannot coexist in peace and if you want peace, you must give up the  idea of conflict entirely and for all time. [This requires vigilance
Tx:7.85  value is severely limited by his confusion. A second fallacy is the  idea that you can get rid of something you do not want by giving it
Tx:7.90  against the belief that you can be alone, thus dispelling the  idea of separation and affirming your true identification with the
Tx:7.101  about joy and pain. This confusion is the cause of the whole  idea of sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be giving up
Tx:8.53  can get you something you want. If you did not believe this, the  idea of attack would have no appeal for you. When you equate yourself
Tx:9.15  ego believes that all functions belong to it, even though it has no  idea what they are. This is more than mere confusion. It is a
Tx:9.15  It is totally unpredictable in its responses, because it has no  idea of what it perceives.
Tx:9.16 If one has no  idea of what is happening, how appropriately can you expect him to
Tx:9.20  he is more likely to start with the equally incredible  idea that he really believes in attack and so does the patient, but
Tx:9.95  because, having made him out of your insanity, he is an insane  idea. He has many forms, but although he may seem like many different
Tx:9.95  but although he may seem like many different things he is but one  idea—the denial of God.
Tx:10.44 Every  idea has a purpose, and its purpose is always the natural extension
Tx:10.49  foundation by this awareness. For though you may countenance a false  idea of independence, you will not accept the cost of fear if you
Tx:11.43  strong do not attack because they see no need to do so. Before the  idea of attack can enter your mind, you must have perceived yourself
Tx:11.94  look upon him as guiltless can you understand his oneness. For the  idea of guilt brings a belief in condemnation of one by another,
Tx:12.2  concealing it. You do experience guilt feelings, but you have no  idea why. On the contrary, you associate them with a weird assortment
Tx:12.2  of ego ideals which the ego claims you have failed. Yet you have no  idea that you are failing the Son of God by seeing him as guilty.
Tx:12.3  him to death. You do not even suspect this murderous but insane  idea lies hidden there, for the ego's destructive urge is so intense
Tx:13.15  Would you, then, teach him that he is right in his delusion? The  idea that the guiltless Son of God can attack himself and make
Tx:13.30  from His. Until you recognize that this is true, you will have no  idea what love is like. No one who condemns a brother can see himself
Tx:15.59  yours. That is because you recognize, however dimly, that God is an  idea, and so your faith in Him is strengthened by sharing. What you
Tx:15.59  difficult to accept is the fact that, like your Father, you are an  idea. And like Him, you can give yourself completely, wholly without
Tx:15.60  that perfect love is in him. In the holy instant, you recognize the  idea of love in you and unite this idea with the mind that thought it
Tx:15.60  holy instant, you recognize the idea of love in you and unite this  idea with the mind that thought it and could not relinquish it. By
Tx:15.63 It is through us that peace will come. Join me in the  idea of peace, for in ideas minds can communicate. If you would give
Tx:15.63  and its conditions are in the mind with it. If you were not only an  idea and nothing else, you could not be in full communication with
Tx:15.70  or another, every relationship which the ego makes is based on the  idea that by sacrificing itself, it becomes bigger. The “sacrifice,”
Tx:15.90  conception of the limits you have placed on your perception and no  idea of all the loveliness that you could see. But this you must
Tx:15.95  the same. For though the ego takes many forms, it is always the same  idea. What is not love is always fear and nothing else. It is not
Tx:15.95  them not as separate but as different manifestations of the same  idea, and one you do not want, they go together. The idea is simply
Tx:15.95  of the same idea, and one you do not want, they go together. The  idea is simply this—you believe that it is possible to be host to
Tx:15.96 —sacrifice is attack, not love. If you would accept but this one  idea, your fear of love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the idea
Tx:15.96  one idea, your fear of love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the  idea of sacrifice has been removed. For if there is sacrifice, as you
Tx:15.98 Each form will be recognized as but a cover for the one  idea that hides behind them all—that love demands sacrifice and is
Tx:15.98  in which you are both destroyer and destroyed in part, but with the  idea of being able to be neither completely. And this you think saves
Tx:15.101 Fear not to recognize the whole  idea of sacrifice as solely of your making. And seek not safety by
Tx:15.102  of any kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the whole  idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is Host to God. And you
Tx:16.13  mind and joined with it. When two minds join as one and share one  idea equally, the first link in the awareness of the Sonship as one
Tx:16.47  the self, for nothing would remain to interfere with it. This is its  idea of Heaven. From this it follows that union, which is a condition
Tx:17.5  are unreal and thus enable you to escape from them. Reserve not one  idea aside from truth, or you establish orders of reality which must
Tx:17.36  acceptance of the gift of death. When you who are truth accept an  idea so dangerous to truth, you threaten truth with destruction. And
Tx:17.59  be wrong. Not only is your judgment in the past, but you have no  idea what should happen. No goal was set with which to bring the
Tx:17.65  be in conflict. But if the goal is truth, this is impossible. Some  idea of bodies must have entered, for minds cannot attack.
Tx:17.70  far beyond your little conception of the infinite that you have no  idea how great the strength that goes with you. And you can use this
Tx:18.6  drawn between you and the truth. For truth extends inward, where the  idea of loss is meaningless and only increase is conceivable. Do you
Tx:18.19  They are your protest against reality and your fixed and insane  idea that you can change it. In your waking dreams, the special
Tx:18.39  must be more that you need do. [You find it difficult to accept the  idea that you need give so little to receive so much.] And it is very
Tx:18.60  anywhere—a sound, a sight, a thought, a memory, and even a general  idea without specific reference. Yet in every case, you joined it
Tx:18.71  you. Can you who see yourselves within a body know yourself as an  idea? Everything you recognize you identify with externals, something
Tx:18.72  body is a tiny fence around a little part of a glorious and complete  idea. It draws a circle, infinitely small, around a very little
Tx:18.76  whole be whole without it. It is not a separate kingdom, ruled by an  idea of separation from the rest. Nor does a fence surround it,
Tx:19.8  where separation is and where it must be healed. The result of an  idea is never separate from its source. The idea of separation
Tx:19.8  healed. The result of an idea is never separate from its source. The  idea of separation produced the body and remains connected to it,
Tx:19.16  lord of all along with his Creator. You can enslave a body, but an  idea is free, incapable of being kept in prison or limited in any way
Tx:19.18 Sin is not an error, for sin entails an arrogance which the  idea of error lacks. To sin would be to violate reality and to
Tx:19.19  is its purpose. Yet for all the wild insanity inherent in the whole  idea of sin, it is impossible. For the wages of sin is death, and how
Tx:19.21  to reinterpret sin as error is always indefensible to the ego. The  idea of sin is wholly sacrosanct to its thought system and quite
Tx:19.22  seems to have is found in this. For sin has changed creation from an  idea of God to an ideal the ego wants; a world it rules, made up of
Tx:19.23  in all the ego's embattled citadel more heavily defended than the  idea that sin is real—the natural expression of what the Son of God
Tx:19.25  guilt remains attractive the mind will suffer and not let go of the  idea of sin. For guilt still calls to it, and the mind hears it and
Tx:19.25  it, making itself a willing captive to its sick appeal. Sin is an  idea of evil that cannot be corrected and will be forever desirable.
Tx:19.61  of the perception of Atonement as murder. Here is the source of the  idea that love is fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far
Tx:19.68 Your little part is but to give the Holy Spirit the whole  idea of sacrifice. And to accept the peace He gave instead, without
Tx:19.72  becomes the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying the  idea that pain is pleasure. It is this idea that underlies all of the
Tx:19.72  it dutifully and obeying the idea that pain is pleasure. It is this  idea that underlies all of the ego's heavy investment in the body.
Tx:19.79  ego's, you renounced death, exchanging it for life. We know that an  idea leaves not its source. And death is the result of the thought we
Tx:19.82  nor incorruptible. It is nothing. It is the result of a tiny mad  idea of corruption which can be corrected. For God has answered this
Tx:19.82  corruption which can be corrected. For God has answered this insane  idea with His own, an Answer which left Him not and therefore brings
Tx:19.88  mean everything or nothing, according to the truth or falsity of the  idea which they reflect. Confronted with such seeming uncertainty of
Tx:20.52  to be what it is not. No more than that. The instant that the mad  idea of making your relationship with God unholy seemed to be
Tx:20.52  that unholy instant, time was born and bodies made to house the mad  idea and give it the illusion of reality. And so it seemed to have a
Tx:20.52  a little while in time and vanished. For what could house this mad  idea against reality but for an instant?
Tx:21.20  exchange of separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is an  idea that it is possible that things should happen to the Son of God
Tx:21.21  leave himself without what God has willed for him. This is the mad  idea you have enshrined upon your altars and which you worship. And
Tx:21.30 If you accept this change, you have accepted the  idea of making room for truth. The source of sin is gone. You may
Tx:21.52 You do not realize the whole extent to which the  idea of separation has interfered with reason. Reason lies in the
Tx:22.6  description earlier, but it was not of you. And yet this strange  idea, which it does accurately describe, you think is you. Reason
Tx:22.20  reason looks on this another way, for reason sees the source of an  idea as what will make it true or false. This must be so if the idea
Tx:22.20  an idea as what will make it true or false. This must be so if the  idea is like its source. Therefore, says reason, if escape from guilt
Tx:22.24  is the same belief that caused the separation. It is the meaningless  idea that thoughts can leave the thinker's mind, be different from
Tx:22.34 These eyes, made not to see, will never see. For the  idea they represent left not its maker, and it is their maker that
Tx:22.52  contradictory and so impossible that anyone who chooses this has no  idea of what is valuable. Yet even in this confusion, so profound it
Tx:23.43  Salvation gives up nothing. It is complete for everyone. Let the  idea of compromise but enter, and the awareness of salvation's
Tx:23.47  illusion is an assault on truth, and every one does violence to the  idea of love because it seems to be of equal truth.
Tx:24.14 Specialness is the  idea of sin made real. Sin is impossible even to imagine without this
Tx:24.71  to His love and shared His purpose, so does the body testify to the  idea that made it and speak for its reality and truth.
Tx:25.61 Salvation is rebirth of the  idea no one can lose for anyone to gain. And everyone must gain if
Tx:25.63  to no one you would not know. This much is necessary to add to the  idea no one can lose for you to gain. And nothing more.
Tx:25.67  where would justice be if He demanded of the ones obsessed with the  idea of punishment that they lay it aside unaided and perceive it is
Tx:26.1 In the “dynamics” of attack is sacrifice a key  idea. It is the pivot upon which all compromise, all desperate
Tx:26.11  to truth than is another. For there is but one mistake—the whole  idea that loss is possible and could result in gain for anyone. If
Tx:26.47  the separation is denied, it goes. For it is gone as soon as the  idea which brought it has been healed and been replaced by sanity.
Tx:26.60  ideas leave not their source. Such is creation's law—that each  idea the mind conceives but adds to its abundance, never takes away.
Tx:26.61  A tiny sacrifice is just the same in its effects as is the whole  idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form is possible, then is God's Son
Tx:26.73  is difficult to credit in advance. Nor is there really sense in this  idea.
Tx:26.87  be unfairly treated. The belief you are is but another form of the  idea you are deprived by someone not yourself. Projection of the
Tx:27.25  because that is its purpose, being what it really is. From an  idea of self as two, there comes a necessary view of function split
Tx:27.29  the concept which it attacks. And by this does it join to the  idea a something it is not and make it unintelligible. Who can
Tx:27.82  done to him. Into eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny mad  idea at which the Son of God remembered not to laugh. In his
Tx:27.82  not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought become a serious  idea and possible of both accomplishment and real effects. Together,
Tx:29.17  can not be sick. In your demand that it be more than this lies the  idea of sickness. For it asks that God be less than all He really is.
Tx:29.28  It does not matter if they be fulfilled or merely wanted. It is the  idea that they exist from which the fears arise. Dreams are not
Tx:29.29  to every figure which the dream contains. No one can fail but your  idea of him, and there is no betrayal but of this. The core of dreams
Tx:29.54  leave the mind that is its source. Nor is its form apart from the  idea it represents. All forms of anti-Christ oppose the Christ and
Tx:29.57 This is the anti-Christ—the strange  idea there is a power past omnipotence, a place beyond the infinite,
Tx:29.57  the eternal. Here the world of idols has been set by the  idea this power and place and time are given form and shape the world
Tx:30.40  incomplete. Only if you had sinned could this be so. For sin is the  idea you are alone and separated off from what is whole. And thus it

Tx:30.86  be no thought of sacrifice apart from this idea. And it is this  idea of different goals which makes perception shift and meaning
W1:I.4  you see in it. Each day's exercises are planned around one central  idea, the exercises themselves consisting of applying that idea to as
W1:I.4  central idea, the exercises themselves consisting of applying that  idea to as many specifics as possible. Be sure that you do not decide
W1:I.4  you do not decide that there are some things you see to which the  idea for the day is inapplicable. The aim of the exercises will
W1:I.4  of the exercises will always be to increase the application of the  idea to everything. This will not require effort. Only be sure that
W1:I.4  effort. Only be sure that you make no exceptions in applying the  idea.
W1:1.1 Now look slowly around you, and practice applying this  idea very specifically to whatever you see:
W1:1.3 Then look farther away from your immediate area, and apply the  idea to a wider range:
W1:1.5  is merely applied to anything you see. As you practice applying the  idea for the day, use it totally indiscriminately. Do not attempt to
W1:1.5  excluded. One thing is like another as far as the application of the  idea is concerned.
W1:2.1 The exercises with this  idea are the same as those for the first one. Begin with the things
W1:2.1  first one. Begin with the things that are near you, and apply the  idea to whatever your glance rests on. Then increase the range
W1:2.1  whatever is to either side. If possible, turn around and apply the  idea to what was behind you. Remain as indiscriminate as possible in
W1:2.2  or a floor, an arm or an apple. The sole criterion for applying the  idea to anything is merely that your eyes have lighted on it. Make no
W1:3.1 Apply this  idea in the same way as the previous ones, without making
W1:3.1  any kind. Whatever you see becomes a proper subject for applying the  idea. Be sure that you do not question the suitability of anything
W1:3.1  not question the suitability of anything for the application of the  idea. These are not exercises in judgment. Anything is suitable if
W1:3.2  mind, unhampered by judgment, in selecting the things to which the  idea for the day is to be applied. For this purpose one thing is like
W1:4.1 Unlike the preceding ones, these exercises do not begin with the  idea for the day. In these practice periods, begin with noting the
W1:4.1  that are crossing your mind for about a minute. Then apply the  idea to them. If you are already aware of unhappy thoughts, use them
W1:4.1  are already aware of unhappy thoughts, use them as subjects for the  idea. Do not, however, select only the thoughts you think are “bad.”
W1:4.2 In selecting the subjects for the application of today's  idea, the usual specificity is required. Do not be afraid to use
W1:4.3  and what is different. In using your thoughts for application of the  idea for today, identify each thought by the central figure or event
W1:4.5 You can also use the  idea for a particular thought which you recognize as harmful. This
W1:5.1 This  idea, like the preceding one, can be used with any person, situation,
W1:5.1  a proper subject for the exercises for the day. Applying the same  idea to each of them separately is the first step in ultimately
W1:5.2 When using the  idea for today for a specific perceived cause of an upset in any
W1:5.8 You may also find yourself less willing to apply today's  idea to some perceived sources of upset than to others. If this
W1:5.10  regardless of the relative importance you may give them. Apply the  idea for today to each of them, using the name of both the source of
W1:6.1 The exercises with this  idea are very similar to the preceding ones. Again, it is necessary
W1:6.1  the perceived source very specifically for any application of the  idea. For example:
W1:6.3 Today's  idea is useful for application to anything that seems to upset you
W1:6.3  or so of mind searching, as before, and the application of the  idea to each upsetting thought uncovered in the search.
W1:6.4 Again, if you resist applying the  idea to some upsetting thoughts more than to others, remind yourself
W1:7.1 This  idea is particularly difficult to believe at first. Yet it is the
W1:7.8  that is precisely why you need new ideas about time. This first time  idea is not really so strange as it may sound at first. Look at a
W1:7.9  this cup except what you learned in the past? You would have no  idea what this cup is except for your past learning. Do you, then,
W1:7.10  true of whatever you look at. Acknowledge this by applying the  idea for today indiscriminately to whatever catches your eye. For
W1:8.1 This  idea is, of course, the reason why you see only the past. No one
W1:8.10  however, to include your irritation, or any emotion which the  idea for today may induce in the mind searching itself.
W1:9.1 This  idea obviously follows from the two preceding ones. But while you may
W1:9.2  believe that what seems to be pictured before it is not there. This  idea can be quite disturbing and may meet with active resistance in
W1:9.3  periods are sufficient, involve looking about you and applying the  idea for the day to whatever you see, remembering the need for its
W1:10.1 This  idea applies to all the thoughts of which you are aware or become
W1:10.1  are aware or become aware in the practice periods. The reason the  idea is applicable to all of them is that they are not your real
W1:10.2 This is the second time we have used this kind of  idea. The form is only slightly different. This time the idea is
W1:10.2  kind of idea. The form is only slightly different. This time the  idea is introduced with “My thoughts” instead of “These thoughts” and
W1:10.3 This aspect of the correction process began with the  idea that the thoughts of which you are aware are meaningless,
W1:10.4  your eyes for these exercises and introduce them by repeating the  idea for today quite slowly to yourself. Then add:
W1:10.5 This  idea will help to release me from all that I now believe.
W1:10.8 Today's  idea can obviously serve for any thought that distresses you at any
W1:10.8  less if you experience discomfort. Remember, however, to repeat the  idea slowly before applying it specifically, and also to add:
W1:10.9 This  idea will help to release me from all that I now believe.
W1:11.1 This is the first  idea we have had which is related to a major phase of the correction
W1:11.1  It seems as if the world determines what you perceive. Today's  idea introduces the concept that your thoughts determine the world
W1:11.1  thoughts determine the world you see. Be glad indeed to practice the  idea in this initial form, for in this idea is your release made
W1:11.1  glad indeed to practice the idea in this initial form, for in this  idea is your release made sure. The key to forgiveness lies in it.
W1:11.2 The practice periods for today's  idea are to be undertaken somewhat differently from the previous
W1:11.2  from the previous ones. Begin with eyes closed, and repeat the  idea slowly to yourself. Then open your eyes and look about, near or
W1:11.2  or down—anywhere. During the minute or so to be spent in using the  idea, merely repeat it to yourself, being sure to do so without haste
W1:11.3  in an unhurried, even leisurely fashion. The introduction to this  idea should be practiced as casually as possible. It contains the
W1:11.3  achieve. On concluding the exercises, close your eyes and repeat the  idea once more, slowly, to yourself.
W1:12.1 The importance of this  idea lies in the fact that it contains a correction for a major
W1:12.6  that you do not alter the time intervals between applying today's  idea to what you think is pleasant and what you think is unpleasant.
W1:12.9 Three or four times are enough for practicing the  idea for today. Nor should the practice periods exceed a minute. You
W1:13.1 Today's  idea is really another form of the preceding one, except that it is
W1:13.4  way from the preceding ones. With eyes closed, repeat today's  idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and look about you slowly,
W1:14.1 The  idea for today is, of course, the reason why a meaningless world is
W1:14.2  at most. Do not have more than three practice periods with today's  idea unless you find them comfortable. If you do, it will be because
W1:14.3 The  idea for today is another step in learning to let go the thoughts
W1:14.6 Suitable subjects for the application of today's  idea also include anything you are afraid might happen to you or to
W1:14.7  of this fact, conclude the practice periods by repeating today's  idea:
W1:14.9 The  idea for today can, of course, be applied to anything that disturbs
W1:15.2 This introductory  idea to the process of image-making which you call seeing will not
W1:15.4 In practicing the  idea for today, repeat it first to yourself, and then apply it to
W1:15.6  a large number of specific subjects for the application of today's  idea. It is necessary, however, to continue to look at each subject
W1:15.6  however, to continue to look at each subject while you repeat the  idea to yourself. The idea should be repeated quite slowly each time.
W1:15.6  to look at each subject while you repeat the idea to yourself. The  idea should be repeated quite slowly each time.
W1:15.7 Although you will obviously not be able to apply the  idea to very many things during the minute or so of practice that is
W1:15.7  uneasy. Do not have more than three application periods for today's  idea unless you feel completely comfortable with it, and do not
W1:15.7  completely comfortable with it, and do not exceed four. However, the  idea can be applied as needed throughout the day.
W1:16.1 The  idea for today is a beginning step in dispelling the belief that your
W1:16.3  all as equally destructive but equally unreal. We will practice this  idea in many forms before you really understand it.
W1:16.4 In applying the  idea for today, search your mind for a minute or so, with eyes
W1:16.4  which you assign to it, is a suitable subject for applying today's  idea.
W1:16.5 In the practice periods, first repeat the  idea, and then as each one crosses your mind, hold it in awareness
W1:16.7 As usual, use today's  idea whenever you are aware of a particular thought which arouses
W1:17.1 This  idea is another step in the direction of identifying cause and effect
W1:17.2 In applying today's  idea, say to yourself, with eyes open:
W1:18.1 The  idea for today is another step in learning that the thoughts which
W1:18.1  you see are never neutral or unimportant. It also emphasizes the  idea that minds are joined, which will be given increasing stress
W1:18.2 Today's  idea does not refer to what you see as much as to how you see it.
W1:18.3 Selecting subjects for the application of the  idea randomly, look at each one long enough to say:
W1:19.1 The  idea for today is obviously the reason why your seeing does not
W1:19.2  the fact that minds are joined. This is rarely a wholly welcome  idea at first, since it seems to carry with it an enormous sense of
W1:19.2  are no private thoughts. Despite your initial resistance to this  idea, you will yet understand that it must be true if salvation is
W1:19.3  today's exercises require are to be undertaken with eyes closed. The  idea is to be repeated first, and then the mind should be carefully
W1:19.6 Apart from the “as needed” application of today's  idea, at least three practice periods are required, shortening the
W1:20.4  yourselves throughout the day that you want to see. Today's  idea also tacitly implies the recognition that you do not see now.
W1:20.4  recognition that you do not see now. Therefore, as you repeat the  idea, you are stating that you are determined to change your present
W1:20.5 Repeat today's  idea slowly and positively at least twice an hour today, attempting
W1:21.1 The  idea for today is obviously a continuation and extension of the
W1:21.1  mind searching periods are necessary in addition to applying the  idea to particular situations as they arise. Five practice periods
W1:21.2 In the practice periods, begin by repeating the  idea to yourself. Then close your eyes and search your mind carefully
W1:22.1 Today's  idea accurately describes the way anyone who holds attack thoughts in
W1:23.1 The  idea for today contains the only way out of fear that will ever
W1:23.5 The  idea for today introduces the thought that you are not trapped in the
W1:23.6  need arises, five practice periods are required in applying today's  idea. As you look about you, repeat the idea slowly to yourself and
W1:23.6  required in applying today's idea. As you look about you, repeat the  idea slowly to yourself and then close your eyes and devote about a
W1:24.2  conviction that you do know what they are, you cannot learn. The  idea for today is a step toward opening your mind so that learning
W1:24.4 The practice periods begin with repeating today's  idea, followed by searching the mind with closed eyes for unresolved
W1:25.1 Purpose is meaning. Today's  idea explains why nothing you see means anything. You do not know
W1:25.5  rather than “good” or “bad,” is the only way to accomplish this. The  idea for today is a step in this direction.
W1:25.6  Each practice period should begin with a slow repetition of the  idea for today followed by looking about you and letting your glance
W1:25.8  the statement. Then move on to the next subject, and apply today's  idea as before.
W1:26.3 The  idea for today introduces the thought that you always attack
W1:26.4 Practice with today's  idea will help you to understand that vulnerability or
W1:26.5 Six practice periods are required in applying today's  idea. A full two minutes should be attempted for each of them,
W1:26.6 The practice period should begin with repeating the  idea for today, then closing your eyes and reviewing the unresolved
W1:26.6  a longer time than usual should be spent with each one. Today's  idea should be applied as follows:
W1:26.15 Conclude each practice period by repeating today's  idea once more.
W1:27.1 Today's  idea expresses something stronger than mere determination. It gives
W1:27.1  priority among your desires. You may feel hesitant about using the  idea on the ground that you are not sure you really mean it. This
W1:27.1  The purpose of today's exercises is to bring the time when the  idea will be wholly true a little nearer.
W1:27.6 The  idea for today needs many repetitions for maximum benefit. It should
W1:27.6  is recommended that you set a definite time interval for using the  idea when you wake or shortly afterwards and attempt to adhere to it
W1:27.7  is how often will you remember? How much do you want today's  idea to be true? Answer one of these questions, and you have answered
W1:27.7  that you were perfectly sincere while you were repeating today's  idea, you can be sure that you have saved yourself many years of
W1:28.1 Today we are really giving specific application to the  idea for yesterday. In these practice periods, you will be making a
W1:28.6 In using the table as a subject for applying the  idea for today, you are therefore really asking to see the purpose of
W1:28.7 We will have six two minute practice periods today in which the  idea for the day is stated first and then applied to whatever you see
W1:28.7  randomly, but each one should be accorded equal sincerity as today's  idea is applied to it in an attempt to acknowledge the equal value of
W1:29.1 The  idea for today explains why you can see all purpose in anything. It
W1:29.1  why nothing you see means anything. In fact, it explains every  idea we have used thus far and all subsequent ones as well. Today's
W1:29.1  idea we have used thus far and all subsequent ones as well. Today's  idea is the whole basis for vision.
W1:29.2 You will probably find this  idea very difficult to grasp at this point. You may find it silly,
W1:29.3  the holiness that lights up the world, you will understand today's  idea perfectly. And you will not understand how you could ever have
W1:29.4  today should follow a now familiar pattern: begin with repeating the  idea to yourself, and then apply it to randomly chosen subjects about
W1:29.4  which may be particularly tempting in connection with today's  idea because of its wholly alien nature. Remember that any order you
W1:29.7 In addition to the assigned practice periods, repeat the  idea for today at least once an hour, looking slowly about you as you
W1:30.1 The  idea for today is the springboard for vision. From this idea will the
W1:30.1 The idea for today is the springboard for vision. From this  idea will the world open up before you, and you will look upon it and
W1:30.3 Today's  idea should be applied as often as possible throughout the day.
W1:30.3  to yourself slowly, looking about you and trying to realize that the  idea applies to everything you do see now or could see now if it were
W1:30.4  such as “near” and “far.” To help you begin to get used to this  idea, try to think of things beyond your present range as well as
W1:30.4  range as well as those you can actually see, as you apply today's  idea. Real vision is not only unlimited by space and distance, but it
W1:30.5 To aid in helping you to become more accustomed to this  idea as well, devote several practice periods to applying today's
W1:30.5  idea as well, devote several practice periods to applying today's  idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and
W1:30.5  come to mind and looking within rather than without. Today's  idea applies equally to both.
W1:31.1 Today's  idea is the introduction to your declaration of release. Again, the
W1:31.1  idea is the introduction to your declaration of release. Again, the  idea should be applied to both the world you see without and the
W1:31.1  world you see without and the world you see within. In applying the  idea, we will use a form of practice which will be used more and
W1:31.1  speaking, the form includes two aspects, one in which you apply the  idea on a more sustained basis, and the other consisting of frequent
W1:31.1  basis, and the other consisting of frequent applications of the  idea throughout the day.
W1:31.2 Two longer periods of practice with the  idea for today are needed, one in the morning and one at night. Three
W1:31.2  During that time, look about you slowly while repeating the  idea two or three times. Then close your eyes and apply the same idea
W1:31.2  the idea two or three times. Then close your eyes and apply the same  idea to your inner world. You will escape from both together, for the
W1:31.3  part. As you sit and quietly watch your thoughts, repeat today's  idea to yourself as often as you care to, but with no sense of hurry.
W1:31.4 In addition, repeat the  idea for today as often as possible during the day. Remind yourself
W1:31.5 The  idea for today is a particularly useful one to use as a response to
W1:32.2 The  idea for today, like the preceding ones, applies to your inner and
W1:32.3  the practice periods for the morning and evening by repeating the  idea for today two or three times while looking around at the world
W1:32.3  world. Try to treat them both as equally as possible. Repeat the  idea for today unhurriedly as often as you wish as you watch the
W1:32.5  often as possible. The shorter applications consist of repeating the  idea slowly as you survey either your inner or outer world. It does
W1:32.6 The  idea for today should also be applied immediately to any situation
W1:32.6  immediately to any situation which may distress you. Apply the  idea by telling yourself:
W1:33.1 Today's  idea is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of
W1:33.2 In these practice periods, the  idea should be repeated as often as you find profitable, though
W1:33.2  uninvolved in both and to maintain this detachment as you repeat the  idea throughout the day.
W1:33.3  should be as frequent as possible. Specific applications of today's  idea should also be made immediately when any situation arises which
W1:33.5 Remember to apply today's  idea the instant you are aware of distress. It may be necessary to
W1:33.5  be necessary to take a minute or so to sit quietly and repeat the  idea to yourself several times. Closing your eyes will probably help
W1:34.1 The  idea for today begins to describe the conditions that prevail in the
W1:34.2  closed. It is your inner world to which the applications of today's  idea should be made.
W1:34.3  harboring unloving thoughts. Note them all casually, repeating the  idea for today slowly as you watch them arise in your mind, and let
W1:34.4  difficulty in thinking of specific subjects, continue to repeat the  idea to yourself in an unhurried manner, without applying it to
W1:34.7  adverse emotions, such as depression, anxiety, or worry, use the  idea in its original form. If you find you need more than one
W1:34.7  form. If you find you need more than one application of today's  idea to help you change your mind in any specific context, try to
W1:34.7  try to take several minutes and devote them to repeating the  idea until you feel some sense of relief. It will help you if you
W1:35.1 Today's  idea does not describe the way you see yourself now. It does,
W1:35.3 The  idea for today presents a very different view of yourself. By
W1:35.3  We will use a somewhat different kind of application for today's  idea because the emphasis for today is on the perceiver rather than
W1:35.4  three five-minute practice periods today, begin by repeating today's  idea to yourself and then close your eyes and search your mind for
W1:35.6 A suitable unselected list for applying the  idea for today might be as follows:
W1:35.8  your reactions to that situation, and use them in applying today's  idea. After you have named each one, add:
W1:35.10  things to fill the interval, but merely relax and repeat today's  idea slowly until something occurs to you. Although nothing that does
W1:35.11  attributes you are ascribing to yourself at the time and apply the  idea for today to them, adding the idea to each of them in the form
W1:35.11  at the time and apply the idea for today to them, adding the  idea to each of them in the form stated above. If nothing particular
W1:35.11  stated above. If nothing particular occurs to you, merely repeat the  idea to yourself with closed eyes.
W1:36.1 Today's  idea extends the idea for yesterday from the perceiver to the
W1:36.1 Today's idea extends the  idea for yesterday from the perceiver to the perceived. You are holy
W1:36.3 First, close your eyes and repeat the  idea for today several times slowly. Then open your eyes and look
W1:36.3  Then open your eyes and look quite slowly about you, applying the  idea specifically to whatever you note in your casual survey. Say,
W1:36.5  times during these practice periods, close your eyes and repeat the  idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and continue as before.
W1:36.6 For the shorter exercise periods, close your eyes and repeat the  idea; look about you as you repeat it again; and conclude with one
W1:37.1 This  idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in the
W1:37.2 There is no other way in which the  idea of sacrifice can be removed from the world's thinking. Any other
W1:37.2  As a result, the perceiver will lose. Nor will he have any  idea why he is losing. Yet is his wholeness restored to his awareness
W1:37.4  three to five minutes of practice, begin with the repetition of the  idea for today followed by a minute or so of looking about you as you
W1:37.4  followed by a minute or so of looking about you as you apply the  idea to whatever you see:
W1:37.6 Then close your eyes and apply the  idea to any person who occurs to you, using his name and saying:
W1:37.8  with your eyes closed; you may open your eyes again and apply the  idea for today to your outer world if you so desire; you may
W1:37.8  outer world if you so desire; you may alternate between applying the  idea to what you see around you and to those who are in your
W1:37.8  prefer. The practice period should conclude with a repetition of the  idea with your eyes closed and another following immediately with
W1:37.9 The shorter exercises consist of repeating the  idea as often as you can. It is particularly helpful to apply it
W1:37.9  you meet, using his name as you do so. It is essential to use the  idea if anyone seems to cause an adverse reaction in you. Offer him
W1:38.4  periods, each preferably to last a full five minutes, repeat the  idea for today, close your eyes, and then search your mind for any
W1:38.4  also the name of the person concerned. Use this form in applying the  idea for today:
W1:38.9 In the frequent shorter applications, apply the  idea in its original form unless a specific problem concerning you or
W1:39.6 Begin the practice periods as usual by repeating today's  idea to yourself. Then with closed eyes search out your unloving
W1:39.8  every thought that stands between you and your salvation. Apply the  idea for today to each one of them in this way:
W1:39.10  with several short periods during which you merely repeat today's  idea to yourself slowly a few times. You may also find it helpful to
W1:39.11  periods in whatever form appeals to you. Do not, however, change the  idea itself in varying the method of applying it. However you elect
W1:39.11  varying the method of applying it. However you elect to use it, the  idea should be stated so that its meaning remains that your holiness
W1:39.12 End each practice period by repeating the  idea in its original form once more, and adding:
W1:39.14  more if possible, you may ask yourself this question, repeat today's  idea, or preferably both. If temptations arise, a particularly
W1:39.14  both. If temptations arise, a particularly helpful form of the  idea is:
W1:40.3 Today's exercises take little time and no effort. Repeat today's  idea, and then add several of the attributes which you associate with
W1:41.1 Today's  idea will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and
W1:41.2 The  idea for today has the power to end all this foolishness forever. And
W1:41.5  eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat today's  idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything. Try
W1:41.6 From time to time, you may repeat today's  idea if you find it helpful. But most of all, try to sink down and
W1:41.8 Throughout the day, use today's  idea often, repeating it very slowly and preferably with eyes closed.
W1:42.1 The  idea for today combines two very powerful thoughts, both of major
W1:42.4 Begin the practice period by repeating the  idea for today slowly with eyes open, looking about you. Then close
W1:42.4  eyes open, looking about you. Then close your eyes and repeat the  idea again, quite slowly. After this, try to think of nothing except
W1:42.4  of nothing except thoughts which occur to you in relation to today's  idea. You might think, for example:
W1:42.7 Any thought that is clearly related to the  idea is suitable. You may, in fact, be astonished at the amount of
W1:42.7  once more while looking slowly about; close your eyes, repeat the  idea once more, and then continue to look for related thoughts in
W1:42.8  the practice period alternating between slow repetitions of the  idea with eyes open, then closed, then open, and so on, than it is to
W1:42.9  number of short practice periods which would be most beneficial. The  idea for the day is a beginning step in bringing thoughts together
W1:42.10 The more often you repeat the  idea during the day, the more often you will be reminding yourself
W1:43.5 At the beginning of these practice periods, repeat the  idea to yourself with eyes open. Then glance around you for a short
W1:43.5  eyes open. Then glance around you for a short time, applying the  idea specifically to what you see. Four or five subjects for this
W1:43.8  longer phase of the exercise period, close your eyes, repeat today's  idea again, and then let whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add
W1:43.8  and then let whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add to the  idea in your own personal way. Thoughts such as:
W1:43.10 Or any thought related more or less directly to today's  idea is suitable. The thoughts need not bear an obvious relationship
W1:43.10  suitable. The thoughts need not bear an obvious relationship to the  idea, but they should not be in opposition to it.
W1:43.11  to be aware of thoughts which are clearly out of accord with today's  idea, or if you seem to be unable to think of anything, open your

W1:43.15 The  idea should also be applied throughout the day to various situations
W1:43.17  subject presents itself to your awareness, merely repeat the  idea in its original form.
W1:43.18  to allow long periods of time to slip by without remembering today's  idea and thus remembering your function.

W1:45.1 Today's  idea holds the key to what your real thoughts are. They are nothing
W1:45.4  will take the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's  idea. We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We
W1:45.6 Begin the exercises for today by repeating the  idea to yourself, closing your eyes as you do so. Spend a fairly
W1:45.6  period in thinking a few relevant thoughts of your own, keeping the  idea in mind as you do so. After you have added some four or five
W1:45.6  you have added some four or five thoughts of your own, repeat the  idea again, and tell yourself gently:
W1:45.12 In using the shorter form for applying today's  idea, try to remember how important it is to you to understand the
W1:45.12  mind that thinks with God. Take a minute or two as you repeat the  idea throughout the day to appreciate your mind's holiness. Stand
W1:46.3  as possible. Begin the longer practice periods by repeating today's  idea to yourself, as usual. Close your eyes as you do so and spend a
W1:46.6  in the best position to forgive yourself. After you have applied the  idea for today to all those who have come to mind, tell yourself,
W1:46.10 The form of the applications may vary considerably, but the central  idea should not be lost sight of. You might say, for example:
W1:46.12 The practice period should end, however, with a repetition of today's  idea as originally stated.
W1:46.13 The shorter applications may consist either of a repetition of the  idea for today in the original or in a related form as you prefer. Be

W1:48.1 The  idea for today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who
W1:48.2  be very short, very simple, and very frequent. Merely repeat the  idea as often as possible. You can use it with your eyes open at any
W1:48.2  a minute or so whenever possible to close your eyes and repeat the  idea slowly to yourself several times. It is particularly important
W1:48.2  several times. It is particularly important that you use the  idea immediately should anything disturb your peace of mind.
W1:49.5 Do not forget to repeat today's  idea very frequently. Do so with your eyes open when necessary, but
W1:49.5  when possible. And be sure that you sit quietly and repeat the  idea for today slowly whenever you can, closing your eyes on the
W1:50.4 For ten minutes twice today, morning and evening, let the  idea for today sink deep into your consciousness. Repeat it, think
W1:R1.2  two minutes or more to each practice period, thinking about the  idea and the related comments. Do this as often as possible during
W1:R1.3 It is not necessary to cover the comments that follow each  idea literally or thoroughly in the practice periods. Rather, try
W1:R1.3  the central point and think about it as part of your review of the  idea to which it relates.

W1:61.7  permits. Let a few related thoughts come to you, and repeat the  idea to yourself if your mind wanders away from the central thought.
W1:61.9 Today's  idea goes far beyond the ego's petty views of what you are and what

W1:65.12  undertaken at least once an hour, use this form in applying today's  idea:
W1:65.14  you see now that will be totally changed when you accept today's  idea completely.
W1:66.13 Today's  idea is another giant stride in the perception of the same as the
W1:67.1 Today's  idea is a complete and accurate statement of what you are. This is

W1:70.1  more than some form of the basic temptation not to believe the  idea for today. Salvation seems to come from anywhere except from
W1:70.2 The seeming “cost” of accepting today's  idea is this: it means that nothing outside yourself can save you;
W1:70.3 Today's  idea places you in charge of the universe, where you belong because
W1:70.6  to be sick, because it makes us unhappy. Therefore, in accepting the  idea for today, we are in agreement with God. He does not want us to
W1:70.8 Begin these practice periods by repeating the  idea for today, adding a statement signifying your recognition that

W1:71.15 Try to remember the  idea for today some six or seven times an hour. There could be no
W1:73.17  times an hour. It is most important, however, to apply today's  idea in this form immediately you are tempted to hold a grievance of
W1:74.1 The  idea for today can be regarded as the central thought toward which
W1:74.1  that conflict is possible has gone. Peace has replaced the strange  idea that you are torn by conflicting goals. As an expression of the
W1:74.2 There is great peace in today's  idea. And the exercises for today are directed towards finding it.
W1:74.2  And the exercises for today are directed towards finding it. The  idea itself is wholly true. Therefore it cannot give rise to
W1:74.12 If you feel yourself slipping off into withdrawal, quickly repeat the  idea for today and try again. Do this as often as necessary. There is
W1:76.2  could, you would forever seek where it is not and never find it. The  idea for today tells you once again how simple is salvation. Look for
W1:76.12  Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. We will repeat today's  idea until we have listened and understood there are no laws but
W1:80.6  often today that your problems have been solved. Repeat the  idea with deep conviction as frequently as possible. And be
W1:80.6  as possible. And be particularly sure to remember to apply the  idea for today to any specific problem that may arise. Say quickly:
W1:R2.2  about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking about the  idea and the comments which are included in the assignments. Devote
W1:R2.5  the shorter practice periods as well, using the original form of the  idea for general application and a more specific form when needed.

W1:90.6 These forms of the  idea will be useful for specific applications:
W1:91.1  This needs repeating and frequent repeating. It is a central  idea in your new thought system and the perception which it produces.
W1:91.2  is unknown to you. And the seeming reality of the darkness makes the  idea of light meaningless.
W1:91.14  are seen in light. Also, be sure to meet temptation with today's  idea. This form would be helpful for this special purpose:
W1:92.1 The  idea for today is an extension of the previous one. You do not think
W1:92.1  of strength and darkness in terms of weakness. That is because your  idea of what seeing means is tied up with the body and its eyes and
W1:92.2  understood the nature of thought, you could but laugh at this insane  idea. It is as if you thought you held the match that lights the sun
W1:92.11  meet again in hope and trust. Let us repeat as often as we can the  idea for today and recognize that we are being introduced to sight
W1:93.17  you can do much today to bring the conviction to your mind that the  idea for the day is true indeed.
W1:94.1 Today we continue with the one  idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes
W1:94.1  that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one  idea. Here is salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored.
W1:95.1 Today's  idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one within
W1:95.4  of the first five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the  idea for the day has special advantages at the stage of learning in
W1:95.5  of time. You often fail to remember the short applications of the  idea for the day, and you have not yet formed the habit of using it
W1:95.9  and our failures to follow the instructions for practicing the day's  idea.
W1:95.20 Throughout the day do not forget your goal. Repeat today's  idea as frequently as possible and understand each time you do so,
W1:95.20  To everyone you meet today be sure to give the promise of today's  idea and tell him this:
W1:97.1 Today's  idea identifies you with your One Self. It accepts no split identity,
W1:98.7  five minutes. He will give the words you use in practicing today's  idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack. His words will
W1:98.7  His words will join with yours and make each repetition of today's  idea a total dedication, made in faith as perfect and as sure as His
W1:98.12  the next five minutes you will spend again with Him. Repeat today's  idea while you wait for the glad time to come to you again. Repeat it
W1:99.9 You who will yet work miracles, be sure you practice well the  idea for today. Try to perceive the strength in what you say, for
W1:100.8 Begin the exercises with the thought today's  idea contains. Then realize your part is to be happy. Only this is
W1:100.11 Do not forget the  idea for today between your longer practice periods. It is your Self
W1:101.1 Today we will continue with the theme of happiness. This is a key  idea in understanding what salvation means. You still believe it asks
W1:101.6  thought as often as we can today because it is the basis for today's  idea. God's Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no
W1:101.10  escape from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and now today's  idea brings wings to speed you on and hope to go still faster to the
W1:104.1 Today's  idea continues with the thought that joy and peace are not but idle
W1:108.1 Vision depends upon today's  idea. The light is in it, for it reconciles all seeming opposites.
W1:110.1 We will repeat today's  idea from time to time. For this one thought would be enough to save
W1:110.2  evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist. Today's  idea is therefore all you need to let complete correction heal your
W1:110.5 The healing power of today's  idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of all miracles, the great
W1:110.5  of the truth to the awareness of the world. Practice today's  idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you free.
W1:121.6  It is not inherent in a mind which cannot sin. As sin was an  idea you taught yourself, forgiveness must be learned by you as well,
W1:126.1 Today's  idea, completely alien to the ego and the thinking of the world, is
W1:126.2 Let us consider what you do believe in place of this  idea. It seems to you that other people are apart from you and able
W1:126.8  if you only catch a tiny glimpse of the release which lies in the  idea we practice for today, this is a day of glory for the world.
W1:126.9 Give 15 minutes twice today to the attempt to understand today's  idea. It is the thought by which forgiveness takes its proper place
W1:126.10  where thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat today's  idea, and ask for help in understanding what it really means. Be
W1:129.1  from the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot stop with the  idea the world is worthless, for unless you see that there is
W1:131.4  world and every worldly thought and one which comes to you from an  idea relinquished yet remembered, old yet new—an echo of a heritage
W1:132.9 Today's  idea is true because the world does not exist. And if it is indeed
W1:132.10  be stressed again, for it contains the firm foundation for today's  idea. You are as God created you. There is no place where you can
W1:132.14  and thus destroy His wholeness. Can a world which comes from this  idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny illusions, but accept the
W1:134.3  illusion true. This twisted viewpoint but reflects the hold that the  idea of sin retains as yet upon your mind as you regard yourself.
W1:135.16  and previous beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it rests on the  idea the past has taught enough to let the mind direct its future
W1:137.1 Today's  idea remains the central thought on which salvation rests. For
W1:139.6 Atonement remedies the strange  idea that it is possible to doubt yourself and be unsure of what you
W1:R4.7  with time devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what each  idea you will review that day can offer you in freedom and in peace.
W1:R4.10  God has given it as it was given to you through His Voice. Let each  idea that you review that day give you the gift which He has laid in
W1:153.4  the frenzy and intensity of which you can conceive that you have no  idea of all the devastation it has wrought. You are its slave. You
W1:156.1 Today's  idea but states the simple truth that makes the thought of sin
W1:157.4  what you are asking must be given you. Nothing is needed but today's  idea to light your mind and let it rest in still anticipation and in
W1:158.7  for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the body, an  idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful
W1:160.2 There is a stranger in our midst who comes from an  idea so foreign to the truth he speaks a different language, looks
W1:161.1  Here is salvation in the simple words in which we practice today's  idea. Here is the answer to temptation which can never fail to
W1:161.16 Today's  idea is your safe escape from anger and from fear. Be sure you use it
W1:163.7 The  idea of the death of God is so preposterous that even the insane have

W1:167.3 You think that death is of the body. Yet it is but an  idea, irrelevant to what is seen as physical. A thought is in the
W1:167.3  leave not their source. The emphasis this course has placed on that  idea is due to its centrality in our attempts to change your mind
W1:169.5 Oneness is simply the  idea God is. And in His Being, He encompasses all things. No mind
W1:170.2 How thoroughly insane is the  idea that to defend from fear is to attack! For here is fear begot
W1:170.5  on its imagined way, you will perceive the premises on which the  idea stands. First, it is obvious ideas must leave their source. For
W1:183.7  No other words we use except at the beginning, when we say today's  idea but once. And then God's Name becomes our only thought, our only
W1:183.9  His Name. Sit silently, and let His Name become the all-encompassing  idea which holds your mind completely. Let all thoughts be still
W1:186.2 Let us not fight our function. We did not establish it. It is not our  idea. The means are given us by which it will be perfectly
W1:186.3 Today's  idea may seem quite sobering until you see its meaning. All it says
W1:187.3  see the miracles it brings to everyone you look upon. Herein is the  idea of giving clarified and given meaning. Now you can perceive that
W1:187.6  but to yourself. Who understands what giving means must laugh at the  idea of sacrifice. Nor can he fail to recognize the many forms which
W1:187.6  starvation and at death. He recognizes sacrifice remains the one  idea that stands behind them all, and in his gentle laughter are they
W1:187.7  to all the forms that suffering appears to take. And sacrifice is an  idea so mad that sanity dismisses it at once.
W1:191.5 But let today's  idea find a place among your thoughts, and you have risen far above
W1:194.1 Today's  idea takes another step toward quick salvation, and a giant stride it
W1:194.2 Accept today's  idea, and you have passed all anxiety, all pits of hell, all
W1:194.2  of sin, and devastation brought about by guilt. Accept today's  idea, and you have released the world from all imprisonment by
W1:196.2  and with all things held in its sure protection, can be found in the  idea we practice for today. It may in fact appear to be a sign that
W1:196.3  you are a body to be crucified. And you will see within today's  idea the light of resurrection, looking past all thoughts of
W1:196.4 Today's  idea is one step we take in leading us from bondage to the state of
W1:196.9 Salvation's song can certainly be heard in the  idea we practice for today. If it can but be you you crucify, you did
W1:196.12  between you and the holy peace of God. How kind and merciful is the  idea we practice! Give it welcome, as you should, for it is your
W1:199.3  essential for your progress in this course that you accept today's  idea and hold it very dear. Be not concerned that to the ego it is
W1:199.5 Cherish today's  idea, and practice it today and every day. Make it a part of every
W1:199.5  you as well. We sound the call of freedom round the world with this  idea. And would you be exempt from the acceptance of the gifts you
W1:R6.1 For this review, we take but one  idea each day, and practice it as often as is possible. Besides the
W1:R6.1  and the hourly remembrances we make throughout the day, use the  idea as often as you can between them. Each of these ideas alone
W1:R6.7  which you denied be given up in sure and quick exchange for the  idea we practice for the day.
W1:R6.10 And then repeat the  idea for the day, and let it take the place of what you thought.
W1:R6.10  of what you thought. Beyond such special applications of each day's  idea, we will add but few formal expressions for specific thoughts to

W1:191.3 Deny your own  Identity, and you will not escape the madness which induced this
W1:191.3  thought which mocks creation and which laughs at God. Deny your own  Identity, and you assail the universe alone, without a friend, a tiny

W1:191.4 Yet what is it except a game you play in which  identity can be denied? You are as God created you. All else but this

Tx:2.89  lack of awareness of thought-power. For example, you say, “Just an  idle thought,” and mean that the thought has no effect. You also

Tx:10.44  itself. The real conflict you experience, then, is between the ego's  idle wishes and the Will of God, which you share. Can this be a real
Tx:13.23  there. You wanted not salvation in the past. Would you impose your  idle wishes on the present and hope to find salvation now?
Tx:20.10  I have given unless you share it. The Holy Spirit's vision is no  idle gift, no plaything to be tossed about a while and laid aside.
Tx:20.73 Judgment is but a toy, a whim, the senseless means to play the  idle game of death in your imagination. But vision sets all things
Tx:21.19 The world you see is but the  idle witness that you were right. This witness is insane. You trained
Tx:27.69  up and down according to a senseless plot conceived within the  idle dreaming of the world.
Tx:27.73  No other cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more fearful than an  idle dream has terrified God's Son and made him think that he has
Tx:27.85  tears, but hear Him say, “My brother, Holy Son of God, behold your  idle dream in which this could occur,” and you will leave the holy

W1:16.3 In addition to never being  idle, salvation requires that you recognize that every thought you

W1:45.11  gained, you should be able to remind yourself that this is no  idle game but an exercise in holiness and an attempt to reach the
W1:50.4  to flow over you like a blanket of protection and surety. Let no  idle and foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son
W1:63.2  forget your function and leave the Son of God in hell. This is no  idle request that is being asked of you. You are asked to accept
W1:65.8  to continue a minute or so longer, attempting to catch a few of the  idle thoughts which escaped your attention before, but do not strain
W1:70.13  holding your hand and leading you. And I assure you this will be no  idle fantasy.
W1:73.1  the will you share with God. This is not the same as the ego's  idle wishes, out of which darkness and nothingness arise. The will
W1:73.1  you share with God has all the power of creation in it. The ego's  idle wishes are unshared and therefore have no power at all. Its

Tx:24.1  Him be Himself. No more His Son. They are. And what illusion that  idly seems to drift between them has the power to defeat what is
Tx:26.60  adds to its abundance, never takes away. This is as true of what is  idly wished as what is truly willed, because the mind can wish to be
Tx:27.31  as vacant, and the time devoted to its seeing be perceived as  idly spent, a time unoccupied.

Tx:9.77  with him? To believe a Son of God is sick is to worship the same  idol he does. God created love, not idolatry. All forms of idolatry
Tx:9.78 A sick god must be an  idol, made in the image of what its maker thinks he is. And that is
Tx:9.78  self-sufficient, very vicious, and very vulnerable. Is this the  idol you would worship? Is this the image you would be vigilant to
Tx:9.78  of yours. And you are willing to keep it hidden and to protect this  idol, which you think will save you from the dangers which the idol
Tx:9.78  this idol, which you think will save you from the dangers which the  idol itself stands for, but which do not exist.
Tx:16.55  In the name of your completion, you do not want this. For every  idol which you raise to place before Him stands before you in place
Tx:20.55 The body is the ego's  idol; the belief in sin made flesh and then projected outward. This
Tx:24.27  its defender. You would protect what God created not. And yet this  idol that seems to give you power has taken it away. For you have
Tx:24.27  unforgiven and yourself in sin beside him, both in misery before the  idol that can save you not.
Tx:29.43  outside yourself. For it will fail, and you will weep each time an  idol falls. Heaven cannot be found where it is not, and there can be
Tx:29.43  where it is not, and there can be no peace excepting there. Each  idol that you worship when God calls will never answer in His place.
Tx:29.45  him, all excepting one; for he will die and does not understand the  idol that he seeks is but his death. Its form appears to be outside
Tx:29.45  and prove that he is victor over him. This is the purpose every  idol has, for this the role that is assigned to it, and this the role
Tx:29.47  seek? No sadness and no suffering proclaims a message other than an  idol found that represents a parody of life which in its lifelessness
Tx:29.48  of peace. God dwells within, and your completion lies in Him. No  idol takes His place. Look not to idols. Do not seek outside
Tx:29.50  fear of loss of your reality. But you have made of your reality an  idol which you must protect against the light of truth. And all the
Tx:29.50  light of truth. And all the world becomes the means by which this  idol can be saved. Salvation thus appears to threaten life and offer
Tx:29.51  and only life exists. The sacrifice of death is nothing lost. An  idol cannot take the place of God. Let Him remind you of His love for
Tx:29.52 What is an  idol? Do you think you know? For idols are unrecognized as such and
Tx:29.52  you do not know what they are for and why they have been made. An  idol is an image of your brother which you would value more than what
Tx:29.54 An  idol is a false impression or a false belief—some form of
Tx:29.54  which constitutes a gap between the Christ and what you see. An  idol is a wish made tangible and given form and thus perceived as
Tx:29.56 What is an  idol? Nothing! It must be believed before it seems to come to life
Tx:29.56  not need belief to be itself, for it has been created, so it is. An  idol is established by belief, and when it is withdrawn, the idol
Tx:29.56  is. An idol is established by belief, and when it is withdrawn, the  idol “dies.”
Tx:29.58 Where is an  idol? Nowhere! Can there be a gap in what is infinite, a place where
Tx:29.58  alcove separated off from what is endless, has no place to be. An  idol is beyond where God has set all things forever and has left no
Tx:29.58  room for anything to be except His Will. Nothing and nowhere must an  idol be while God is everything and everywhere.
Tx:29.59 What purpose has an  idol, then? What is it for? This is the only question which has many
Tx:29.59  or even more affliction and more pain. But more of something is an  idol for. And when one fails, another takes its place with hope of
Tx:29.59  something else. Be not deceived by forms the “something” takes. An  idol is a means for getting more. And it is this that is against
Tx:29.60  And thus is every living thing a part of you, as of Himself. No  idol can establish you as more than God. But you will never be
Tx:29.63  are part of what they have been made to save you from. Thus does an  idol keep the dream alive and terrible, for who could wish for one
Tx:29.63  wish for one unless he were in terror and despair? And this the  idol represents, and so its worship is the worship of despair and
Tx:29.69  of help, a calm assurance Heaven goes with you—be sure you made an  idol and believe it will betray you. For beneath your hope that it
Tx:30.39  take the place of all the love in the divinity of God the Son? What  idol can make two of what is one? And can the limitless be limited?
Tx:30.39  of what is one? And can the limitless be limited? You do not want an  idol. It is not your will to have one. It will not bestow on you the
Tx:30.39  the understanding of its purpose. So you see your will within the  idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this could never be
Tx:30.40 Behind the search for every  idol lies the yearning for completion. Wholeness has no form because
Tx:30.40  achieve completion in a form you like. This is the purpose of an  idol—that you will not look beyond it to the source of the belief
Tx:30.41 It never is the  idol that you want. But what you think it offers you, you want indeed
Tx:30.41  and no separate thing the power to complete the Son of God. What  idol can be called upon to give the Son of God what he already has?
Tx:30.42  to what is not in him, he would not be as God created him. What  idol can he need to be himself? For can he give a part of him away?
Tx:30.48  two realities, but one. Nor can you be aware of more than one. An  idol or the Thought God holds of you is your reality. Forget not,
Tx:30.54  one very simple thing—you do not want whatever you believe an  idol gives. For thus the Son of God declares that he is free of
Tx:30.63  the real world. Perhaps they still look back and think they see an  idol that they want. Yet has their path been surely set away from
Tx:30.66 Do not look back except in honesty. And when an  idol tempts you, think of this:
Tx:30.67 There never was a time an  idol brought you anything except the “gift” of guilt. Not one was
Tx:30.68 Be merciful unto your brother, then. And do not choose an  idol thoughtlessly, remembering that he will pay the cost as well as
Tx:30.76  and will remain afraid to look within and find escape from every  idol there. Salvation rests on faith there cannot be some forms of
Tx:30.81  been given no effects. But what you see as having power to make an  idol of the Son of God you will not pardon. For he has become to you
Tx:31.44  is made by you. It bears no likeness to yourself at all. It is an  idol, made to take the place of your reality as Son of God. The
Tx:31.46  sights, for it is here the world's “reality” is set to see to it the  idol lasts.
W1:92.5 Strength is the truth about you; weakness is an  idol falsely worshiped and adored that strength may be dispelled and
W1:163.4  Here is the strength and might of God Himself perceived within an  idol made of dust. Here is the opposite of God proclaimed as lord of
W1:170.9  release from abject slavery. You make a choice, standing before this  idol, seeing him exactly as he is. Will you restore to love what you
W1:170.9  lay before this mindless piece of stone? Or will you make another  idol to replace it? For the god of cruelty takes many forms. Another

Tx:29.51  you, and do not seek to drown His Voice in chants of deep despair to  idols of yourself. Seek not outside your Father for your hope. For
Tx:29.52 What is an idol? Do you think you know? For  idols are unrecognized as such and never seen for what they really

Tx:29.53 Let not their form deceive you.  Idols are but substitutes for your reality. In some way, you believe
Tx:29.53  lacks and add the value which you do not have. No one believes in  idols who has not enslaved himself to littleness and loss. And thus
Tx:29.55 This world of  idols is a veil across the face of Christ because its purpose is to
Tx:29.57  the infinite, a time transcending the eternal. Here the world of  idols has been set by the idea this power and place and time are
Tx:29.59  the one of whom the question has been asked. The world believes in  idols. No one comes unless he worshiped them and still attempts to

Tx:29.63 All figures in the dream are  idols made to save you from the dream. Yet they are part of what they

Tx:30.42  of God's Son. He has no need to seek for it at all. Beyond all  idols stands his holy will to be but what he is. For more than whole

Tx:30.47 Beyond all  idols is the Thought God holds of you. Completely unaffected by the
Tx:30.47  reality kept safe, completely unaware of all the world that worships  idols and that knows not God. In perfect sureness of its
Tx:30.48  the Thought God holds of you is your reality. Forget not, then, that  idols must keep hidden what you are, not from the Mind of God, but
Tx:30.49  The truth could never be attacked. And this you knew when you made  idols. They were made that this might be forgotten. You attack but
Tx:30.49  forgotten. You attack but false ideas and never truthful ones. All  idols are the false ideas you made to fill the gap you think arose
Tx:30.53  like to itself? Look calmly at its toys and understand that they are  idols which but dance to vain desires. Give them not your worship,

Tx:29.45 The lingering  illusion will impel him to seek out a thousand idols and to seek

Tx:1.46  in which he has imprisoned himself, and by freeing his mind from  illusions, they restore his sanity. Man's mind can be possessed by
Tx:1.46  illusions, they restore his sanity. Man's mind can be possessed by  illusions, but his spirit is eternally free. If a mind perceives

Tx:3.62  remains in the unconscious because it has been perceived. One of the  illusions from which man suffers is the belief that what he judged
Tx:4.85  would not believe that you are here. In learning to escape from the  illusions you have made, your great debt to each other is something
Tx:6.93  Vigilance is not necessary for truth, but it is necessary against  illusions.
Tx:6.94 Truth is without  illusions and therefore within the Kingdom. Everything outside the

Tx:7.59  the mind cannot make illusions, but it does follow that if it makes  illusions it will believe in them, because that is how it made them.
Tx:7.60 The Holy Spirit undoes  illusions without attacking them merely because He cannot perceive
Tx:7.73  not see this picture in anyone, or you have accepted it as you. All  illusions about the Sonship are dispelled together, as they were made
Tx:7.74 You made perception, and it must last as long as you want it.  Illusions are investments. They will last as long as you value them.

Tx:8.68  hope for release. But what other hope would you want? Freedom from  illusions lies only in not believing them. There is no attack, but
Tx:8.82  from sleeping. Sleep is withdrawing; waking is joining. Dreams are  illusions of joining, taking on the ego's distortions about what
Tx:8.90  is. It is apparent that reality cannot “threaten” anything except  illusions, since reality can only uphold truth. The very fact that

Tx:9.52  abundance. By blessing, you hold it in your mind, protecting it from  illusions and keeping yourself in the Mind of God. Remember always
Tx:9.54  it is not true. Your grandeur will never deceive you, but your  illusions always will. Illusions are deceptions. You cannot triumph,
Tx:9.54  grandeur will never deceive you, but your illusions always will.  Illusions are deceptions. You cannot triumph, but you are exalted.

Tx:9.83  and the father you made did not make you. Honor is not due to  illusions, for to honor them is to honor nothing. Yet fear is not due

Tx:10.27  which is not real. The dark companions, the dark way, are all  illusions. Turn toward the light, for the little spark in you is part
Tx:10.39 No one can escape from  illusions unless he looks at them, for not looking is the way they
Tx:10.39  is the way they are protected. There is no need to shrink from  illusions, for they cannot be dangerous. We are ready to look more
Tx:10.40  all that stands in the way of knowledge? And how else can one dispel  illusions except by looking at them directly without protecting them?
Tx:12.18  and it will be yours. For grandeur is the right of God's Son, and no  illusions can satisfy him or save him from what he is. Only his love
Tx:12.19 Save him from his  illusions that you may accept the magnitude of your Father in peace
Tx:12.22  will give up insanity.] For His answer is the reference point beyond  illusions from which you can look back on them and see them as
Tx:12.28  you learn that past pain is delusional, you are choosing a future of  illusions and losing the endless opportunities which you could find

Tx:12.45  of all reality through the awareness of your own. But for this no  illusions can rise to meet your sight, for all reality leaves no room
Tx:12.45  which you made and cherish instead of him. In your questioning of  illusions, ask yourself if it is really sane to perceive what was
Tx:13.25  real, Atonement would not be. The purpose of Atonement is to dispel  illusions, not to establish them as real and then forgive them.
Tx:13.26 The Holy Spirit does not keep  illusions in your mind to frighten you and show them to you fearfully
Tx:13.29  which the Holy Spirit would restore to you. He would remove only  illusions. All else He would have you see. And in Christ's vision, He
Tx:13.47  having seen them, we have realized that they cannot be seen but in  illusions, for there alone their seeming clearness seems to be
Tx:16.24  you. What you accept into your minds does not really change them.  Illusions are but beliefs in what is not there. And the seeming

Tx:16.34  But conflict enters the instant the choice seems to be one between  illusions, for this choice does not matter. Where one choice is as
Tx:16.38  to satisfy. In the Name of God, be wholly willing to abandon all  illusions. In any relationship in which you are wholly willing to

Tx:16.76 For a time you may attempt to bring  illusions into the holy instant to hinder your full awareness of the
Tx:16.76  power of the Holy Spirit will prevail because you joined Him. The  illusions you bring with you will weaken the experience of Him for a
Tx:16.76  experience in your mind. Yet the holy instant is eternal, and your  illusions of time will not prevent the timeless from being what it is
Tx:16.78  you can hold against reality. All that must be forgiven are the  illusions you have held against your brothers. Their reality has no
Tx:16.78  have held against your brothers. Their reality has no past, and only  illusions can be forgiven. God holds nothing against anyone, for He
Tx:16.78  forgiven. God holds nothing against anyone, for He is incapable of  illusions of any kind. Release your brothers from the slavery of
Tx:16.78  of any kind. Release your brothers from the slavery of their  illusions by forgiving them for the illusions which you perceive in
Tx:16.78  from the slavery of their illusions by forgiving them for the  illusions which you perceive in them. Thus will you learn that you
Tx:16.78  learn that you have been forgiven, for it is you who offered them  illusions. In the holy instant, this is done for you in time to bring
Tx:16.80 Seek and find his message in the holy instant, where all  illusions are forgiven. From there the miracle extends to bless
Tx:16.80  relationships as real and through their reality to give over all  illusions for the reality of your relationship with God. Praise be to
Tx:16.81 Forgive us our  illusions, Father, and help us to accept our true relationship with
Tx:16.81  us to accept our true relationship with You in which there are no  illusions and where none can ever enter. Our holiness is Yours. What

Tx:17.34  Into the frame are woven all sorts of fanciful and fragmented  illusions of love, set with dreams of sacrifice and

Tx:17.68  faithful to its master. Use it and it will carry you straight to  illusions. Be tempted not by what it offers you. It interferes not
Tx:17.72  in you. And you will see the means you once employed to lead you to  illusions transformed to means for truth. [Truth calls for faith, and
Tx:18.10  one. And as He loves you, so you are. You are not joined together in  illusions but in the Thought so holy and so perfect that illusions

Tx:18.22  that you have made, at last, the choice between the truth and all  illusions.
Tx:18.26  made of it. You are advancing to love's meaning and away from all  illusions in which you have surrounded it. When you retreat to the
Tx:18.52  what the Son of God has made and using it to save him from  illusions.

Tx:18.88  the whole foundation on which the world is based. Here are all the  illusions, all the twisted thoughts, all the insane attacks, the
Tx:19.4  overlook our earlier statement that faithlessness leads straight to  illusions. For faithlessness is the perception of a brother as a
Tx:19.4  faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy Spirit's purpose and brought  illusions centered on the body to stand between you. And the body
Tx:19.5  separate; faith would unite and heal.] Faithlessness would interpose  illusions between the Son of God and his Creator; faith would remove
Tx:19.5  that seem to rise between them. Faithlessness is wholly dedicated to  illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial dedication is impossible.
Tx:19.8  will remain forever true, however much you seek to connect them. But  illusions are always connected, as is truth. Each is united, a
Tx:19.29  see many things the mind corrects, and you respond, not to the eyes'  illusions, but to the mind's corrections.
Tx:19.45  the journey's end. For Heaven knows you well, as you know Heaven. No  illusions stand between you now. Look not upon the little wall of
Tx:19.45  the sun? No more can you be kept by shadows from the light in which  illusions end. Every miracle is but the end of an illusion. Such was
Tx:19.45  its ending. And in the goal of truth which you accepted must all  illusions end.
Tx:19.64 You have paid very dearly for your  illusions, and nothing you have paid for brought you peace. Are you
Tx:19.67 Forgive me your  illusions and release me from punishment for what I have not done. So
Tx:19.71  the body to do is therefore painful. It will share the pain of all  illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be the same as pain.

Tx:19.98  of God unterrified unless he has accepted the Atonement and learned  illusions are not real. No one can stand before this obstacle alone,
Tx:20.11 You have the vision now to look past all  illusions. It has been given you to see no thorns, no strangers, and
Tx:20.11  The fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to look upon  illusions, knowing his savior stands beside him? With him, your
Tx:20.12  faith. And there will be no fear in us, for in our vision will be no  illusions—only a pathway to the open door of Heaven, the home we
Tx:20.13  laid the lilies of forgiveness. Let him be to you the savior from  illusions, and look on him with the new vision that looks upon the
Tx:20.14  them and beyond. Walk with him now rejoicing, for the savior from  illusions has come to greet you and lead you home with him.

Tx:20.63  He can but be imagined in the darkness, and it is here that the  illusions you hold about him are not held up to his reality. Here are
Tx:20.63  you hold about him are not held up to his reality. Here are  illusions and reality kept separated. Here are illusions never
Tx:20.63  his reality. Here are illusions and reality kept separated. Here are  illusions never brought to truth and always hidden from it. And here
Tx:20.69  joy. And place no value on your brother's body, which holds him to  illusions of what he is. It is his desire to see his sinlessness, as
Tx:21.32  them the Holy Spirit leads you to the real world and away from all  illusions where your faith was laid. This is His direction, the only
Tx:21.33  is not a lack of faith, but faith in nothing. Faith given to  illusions does not lack power, for by it does the Son of God believe
Tx:21.33  Thus is he faithless to himself, but strong in faith in his  illusions about himself. For faith, perception, and belief you made
Tx:21.89  whose will is powerful as His, a power that is not lost in your  illusions, think carefully why it should be you have not yet decided
Tx:22.14  came instantly to show you where your Self must be. It is denial of  illusions that calls on truth, for to deny illusions is to recognize
Tx:22.14  must be. It is denial of illusions that calls on truth, for to deny  illusions is to recognize that fear is meaningless. Into the holy
Tx:22.16 The opposite of  illusions is not disillusionment, but truth. Only to the ego, to
Tx:22.16  nothingness. Yet in these dark and heavy garments are those who seek  illusions covered and hidden from the joy of truth.
Tx:22.17 Truth is the opposite of  illusions because it offers joy. What else but joy could be the
Tx:22.17  one kind of misery and seek another is hardly an escape. To change  illusions is to make no change. The search for joy in misery is
Tx:22.18  Illusions carry only guilt and suffering, sickness and death to their
Tx:22.18  can change with time. Yet if the change be real and not imagined,  illusions must give way to truth and not to other dreams that are but
Tx:22.19  and defended against the truth makes all truth meaningless and all  illusions real. Such is the power of belief. It cannot compromise.
Tx:22.23 There is no part of Heaven you can take and weave into  illusions. Nor is there one illusion you can enter Heaven with. A
Tx:22.25  learn it is not true? Is it not welcome news to hear not one of the  illusions that you made replaced the truth?
Tx:22.33  it. Theirs is indeed a strange perception, for they can see only  illusions, unable to look beyond the granite block of sin and
Tx:22.35  what is not there must be distorted perception and must perceive  illusions as the truth. Could it then recognize the truth?
Tx:22.43  opens the way to truth to more than you. Those who would let  illusions be lifted from their minds are this world's saviors,
Tx:22.45 How does one overcome  illusions? Surely not by force or anger nor by opposing them in any
Tx:22.45  nothing. What merely is needs no defense and offers none. Only  illusions need defense because of weakness. And how can it be
Tx:22.47  Here can no weakness enter, for here is no attack and therefore no  illusions. Love rests in certainty. Only uncertainty can be
Tx:22.49  between you and your awareness of your union! Be not deceived by the  illusions it presents of size and thickness, weight, solidity, and
Tx:22.49  immovable as is a mountain. Yet within you there is a Force which no  illusions can resist. This body only seems to be immovable; this
Tx:22.50  that you are weak because you are alone. This is the cost of all  illusions. Not one but rests on the belief that you are separate. Not
Tx:22.52  of the body has no meaning, and so the mind is dedicated to serve  illusions. This is a situation so contradictory and so impossible
Tx:23.9  ego joins with an illusion of yourself you share with it. And yet  illusions cannot join. They are the same, and they are nothing. Their
Tx:23.12 The war against yourself is but the battle of two  illusions, struggling to make them different from each other in the
Tx:23.12  Madness holds out no menace to reality and has no influence upon it.  Illusions cannot triumph over truth, nor can they threaten it in any
Tx:23.13  For you must be as God created you. Truth does not fight against  illusions, nor do illusions fight against the truth. Illusions battle
Tx:23.13  as God created you. Truth does not fight against illusions, nor do  illusions fight against the truth. Illusions battle only with
Tx:23.13  fight against illusions, nor do illusions fight against the truth.  Illusions battle only with themselves. Being fragmented, they
Tx:23.13  illusion about yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two  illusions is a state where nothing happens. There is no victor, and
Tx:23.14  attack that is not part of you. And by attacking it, you make two  illusions of yourself in conflict with each other. And this occurs
Tx:23.15 See how the conflict of  illusions disappears when it is brought to truth! For it seems real
Tx:23.15  made an illusion by defeat. Thus, conflict is the choice between  illusions, one to be crowned as real, the other vanquished and
Tx:23.15  peace because it is His home. And you who are beloved of Him are no  illusions, being as true and holy as Himself.
Tx:23.16  where God has set him in serenity and peace and dwells with him.  Illusions have no place where love abides, protecting you from
Tx:23.17  Holy One becomes a house of sin. And nothing is remembered except  illusions. Illusions can conflict because their forms are different.
Tx:23.17  becomes a house of sin. And nothing is remembered except illusions.  Illusions can conflict because their forms are different. And they do
Tx:23.18 Illusion meets illusion; truth, itself. The meeting of  illusions leads to war. Peace, looking on itself, extends itself. War
Tx:23.20  This principle evolves from the belief there is a hierarchy of  illusions; some are more valuable and therefore true. Each one
Tx:23.21  principle of miracles. For this establishes degrees of truth among  illusions, making it appear that some of them are harder to overcome
Tx:23.32  now. Such a reversal, completely turned around, with madness sanity,  illusions true, attack a kindness, hatred love and murder
Tx:23.37  in Heaven is not anywhere. Outside of Heaven, only the conflict of  illusions stands; senseless, impossible, and beyond all reason, and
Tx:23.37  all reason, and yet perceived as an eternal barrier to Heaven.  Illusions are but forms. Their content is never true.
Tx:23.38 The laws of chaos govern all  illusions. Their forms conflict, making it seem quite possible to
Tx:23.38  no less certain in their witnessing or their results. Certain it is  illusions will bring fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not
Tx:24.1  back the Will that holds the universe secure? God does not wait upon  illusions to let Him be Himself. No more His Son. They are. And what
Tx:24.7  the body dear and worth preserving. Specialness must be defended.  Illusions can attack it, and they do. For what your brother must
Tx:24.9  your relationship? And is not this the “enemy” that makes you both  illusions to each other?
Tx:24.11 Those who are special must defend  illusions against the truth. For what is specialness but an attack
Tx:24.13  of God. To value specialness is to esteem an alien will to which  illusions of yourself are dearer than the truth.
Tx:24.20  in hate to kill each other and deny they are the same. Yet it is not  illusions which have reached this final obstacle that seems to make
Tx:24.20  so real and so encompassing that nothing stands outside. Leave all  illusions of yourself outside this place to which you come in hope
Tx:24.23  clings to murder as safety's weapon and the great defender of all  illusions from the “threat” of love.
Tx:24.24  from all your brothers, safe from all intrusions of sanity upon  illusions, safe from God, and safe for conflict everlasting. Here are
Tx:24.26 Forgiveness is the end of specialness. Only  illusions can be forgiven, and then they disappear. Forgiveness is
Tx:24.26  forgiven, and then they disappear. Forgiveness is release from all  illusions, and that is why it is impossible but partly to forgive. No
Tx:24.28  upsets your world and hurls it into chaos. Truth is not frail.  Illusions leave it perfectly unmoved [and undisturbed]. But
Tx:24.30  the death of love itself? Yet they are powerless to make attack upon  illusions. They are not bodies; as One mind they wait for all
Tx:24.30  upon illusions. They are not bodies; as One mind they wait for all  illusions to be brought to them and left behind. Salvation challenges
Tx:24.31  of love and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect Son, for your  illusions of your specialness. Here is the hell you chose to be your
Tx:24.37  purpose does “endanger” specialness, but only in the sense that all  illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They will not stand before
Tx:24.40  real, as surely as does will create. The power of a wish upholds  illusions as strongly as does love extend itself, except that one
Tx:24.44  only Christ can lend you His while you have need of them. They are  illusions too, as much as yours. And yet, because they serve a
Tx:25.10  in which it thinks it is. And It must use all learning to transfer  illusions to the truth, taking all false ideas of what you are and
Tx:25.25  perfect battleground to wage its wars, the perfect shelter for the  illusions which it would make real. Not one but it upholds in its
Tx:25.78  be kept in place. You mean that truth has greater value now than all  illusions. And you recognize that truth must be revealed to you
Tx:26.19  are brought together—where conflicting values meet and all  illusions are laid down beside the truth where they are judged to be
Tx:26.24  change of purpose in what once was specialness and now is union? All  illusions are but one. And in the recognition this is so lies the
Tx:26.39  place. And now you are a part of resurrection, not of death. No past  illusions have the power to keep you in a place of death, a vault
Tx:26.44  and through its perceived reality has entered all the world of sick  illusions. All belief in sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm,
Tx:26.44  and find the safety that the truth alone can give? Who can believe  illusions are the same and still maintain that even one is best?
Tx:26.48  request is granted—not in truth but in the world of shadows and  illusions built on sin. The Son of God perceives what he would see,
Tx:26.51  although this clearly makes no sense at all. All that a hierarchy of  illusions can show is preference, not reality. What relevance has
Tx:26.51  preference, not reality. What relevance has preference to the truth?  Illusions are illusions and are false. Your preference gives them no
Tx:26.51  reality. What relevance has preference to the truth? Illusions are  illusions and are false. Your preference gives them no reality. Not
Tx:26.53  where no meaning is. And truth needs no defense to make it true.  Illusions have no witnesses and no effects. Who looks on them is but
Tx:26.60  it is not. And to believe ideas can leave their source is to invite  illusions to be true, without success. For never will success be
Tx:26.62  Illusions serve the purpose they were made to serve. And from their
Tx:26.62  they derive whatever meaning that they seem to have. God gave to all  illusions that were made another purpose that would justify a
Tx:27.6  guilt. Your healing is his comfort and his health because it proves  illusions are not true.
Tx:27.12  purpose, can be given it. You do not know its purpose. You but gave  illusions of a purpose to a thing you made to hide your function from
Tx:27.39 The world asks but one question. It is this: “Of these  illusions, which of them are true? Which ones establish peace and
Tx:27.68  Nor did you in any way request them for yourself. This is how all  illusions come about. The one who makes them does not see himself as
Tx:27.72  your reality. The little gap you do not even see, the birthplace of  illusions and of fear, the time of terror and of ancient hate, the
Tx:27.75  about instead of counting up the hurts he gave. Forgive him his  illusions and give thanks to him for all the helpfulness he gave. And
Tx:28.1  has truly gone has no effects. Remembering a cause can but produce  illusions of its presence, not effects.
Tx:28.15  the place of loss? What better way to close the little gap between  illusions and reality than to allow the memory of God to flow across
Tx:28.21  dreamer of a dream is not awake but does not know he sleeps. He sees  illusions of himself as sick or well, depressed or happy, but without
Tx:28.22  that its content is not true. This is a crucial step in dealing with  illusions. No one is afraid of them when he perceives he made them
Tx:28.30  bridge the little gap that leads to Him. Fight not His coming with  illusions, for it is His coming that you want above all things that
Tx:28.37  It means that you share not his wish to separate and let him turn  illusions on himself. Nor do you wish that they be turned instead on
Tx:28.37  a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you both become  illusions and without identity. You could be anyone or anything,
Tx:28.39  depends on his reality. Think rather of him as a mind in which  illusions still persist, but as a mind which brother is to you. He is
Tx:28.40  dreams of fear. Let him acknowledge who he is by not supporting his  illusions by your faith, for if you do, you will have faith in yours.
Tx:28.40  And dreams of fear will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by  illusions which you have supported in each other's minds.
Tx:28.46  on seeing in the gap what is not there. Your willingness to let  illusions go is all the Healer of God's Son requires. He will place
Tx:28.50 You have conceived a little gap between  illusions and the truth to be the place where all your safety lies
Tx:28.52  this. There is no gap which separates the truth from dreams and from  illusions. Truth has left no room for them in any place or time. For
Tx:29.22  overlook your brother's dreams. So perfectly can you forgive him his  illusions, he becomes your savior from your dreams. And as you see
Tx:29.23  to God's Son. Whom you forgive is given power to forgive you your  illusions. By your gift of freedom is it given unto you. Make way for

W1:46.1  the great need of this world, but that is because it is a world of  illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from
W1:46.1  of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves from  illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding
W1:46.2  forgiveness can truly be called salvation. It is the means by which  illusions disappear.
W1:48.1  today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who believe in  illusions, but illusions are not facts. In truth there is nothing to

W1:48.1  this. But it is very difficult to recognize for those who want  illusions to be true.
W1:50.3 Put not your faith in  illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God

W1:62.2  Illusions about yourself and the world are one. That is why all

W1:97.1  can enter, for your mind has been absolved from madness, letting go  illusions of a split identity.
W1:98.1  We take a stand on but one side today. We side with truth and let  illusions go. We will not vacillate between the two but take a firm
W1:99.2 Truth and  illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The impossible

W1:132.1  Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you hold are mighty, and  illusions are as strong in their effects as is the truth. A madman
W1:132.13  real creations wait for this release to give you fatherhood, not of  illusions, but as God in truth. God shares His Fatherhood with you

W1:134.3  part is that you still believe you must forgive the truth and not  illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain attempt to look past what
W1:134.6  it; a quiet blessing where it is received. It does not countenance  illusions but collects them lightly with a little laugh and gently
W1:134.7 Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for truth in the  illusions of the world. It sees their nothingness and looks right

W1:136.6  without regard to all their true relationships, and thus constructs  illusions of a whole which is not there. It is this process which
W1:136.11  quails before such mad attacks as these, with God made blind by your  illusions, truth turned into lies, and all the universe made slave to
W1:136.11  to laws which your defenses would impose on it. Yet who believes  illusions but the one who made them up? Who else can see them and
W1:136.15 Truth has a power far beyond defense, for no  illusions can remain where it has been allowed to enter. And it comes
W1:137.4  will remain exactly as it has forever been. Yet eyes accustomed to  illusions must be shown that what they look upon is false. So
W1:137.5  overlooks all sins that never were accomplished, healing but removes  illusions that have not occurred. Just as the real world will arise

W1:140.7  provides that can effect a change in anything. The mind that brings  illusions to the truth is really changed. There is no change but
W1:140.8  our minds about the source of sickness, for we seek a cure for all  illusions, not another shift among them. We will try today to find

W1:155.9  may find that you are tempted still to walk ahead of truth and let  illusions be your guide. Your holy brothers have been given you to
W1:155.10  there will be no gap, no distance between truth and you. And all  illusions walking in the way you traveled will be gone from you as

W1:182.11  and yet He asks unceasingly that you return with Him and take  illusions as your gods no more.
W1:183.3 Repeat God's Name and all the world responds by laying down  illusions. Every dream the world holds dear has suddenly gone by, and
W1:184.8 Think not you made the world.  Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and Heaven is beyond your
W1:185.4  merely bargain. And what bargain can give them the peace of God?  Illusions come to take His place. And what He means is lost to
W1:185.5  is to renounce all dreams. For no one means these words who wants  illusions and who therefore seeks the means which bring illusions. He

W1:185.7  where all the rest have failed. To mean these words acknowledges  illusions are in vain, requesting the eternal in the place of

W2:I.9  Now we are glad that this is all undone, and we no longer think  illusions true. The memory of God is shimmering across the wide

W2:227.1  I was mistaken and did not affect my own reality at all by my  illusions. Now I give them up and lay them down before the feet of

W2:WIW.3  which the world was made to witness and make real. They see in its  illusions but a solid base where truth exists, upheld apart from

M:11.1 This is a question everyone must ask. Certainly peace seems to be  impossible. Yet the Word of God promises other things that seem

M:11.4 Peace is  impossible to those who look on war. Peace is inevitable to those who

Tx:19.20 A major tenet in the ego's  insane religion is that sin is not error but truth, and it is

Tx:4.72  The mind, and not without cause, reminds the ego that it has itself  insisted that it is identified with the body, so there is no point in

Tx:8.77  tell you how you feel. Sickness is merely another example of your  insistence on asking the guidance of a teacher who does not know the
Tx:11.25  do something you think you do not want to do. The very fact of his  insistence should tell you that he believes salvation lies in it. If
Tx:11.25  mistake that he is and are making his error real to both of you.  Insistence means investment, and what you invest in is always related

Tx:15.7  ego's use of time! And how terrifying! For underneath its fanatical  insistence that the past and future be the same is hidden a far more
Tx:20.40  of Christ and yet insist that judgment still has meaning? For this  insistence is of those who do not see. Vision or judgment is your

Tx:12.1  split of all occurs, for if you are to retain guilt as the ego  insists, you cannot be you. Only by persuading you that it is you,
Tx:27.12  you were sure you knew its purpose was to foster guilt. For this  insists your crippled picture is a lasting sign of what it
W1:72.6  indeed to escape this conclusion. And every grievance that you hold  insists that the body is real. It overlooks entirely what your

inspiration (10)

Tx:4.1  can lead only to mutual progress. The result of genuine devotion is  inspiration, a word which properly understood is the opposite of
Tx:5.10  of God's creations, my right thinking, which came from the Universal  Inspiration which is the Holy Spirit, taught me first and foremost
Tx:5.10  which is the Holy Spirit, taught me first and foremost that this  Inspiration is for all. I could not have It myself without knowing
Tx:5.11 The word “know” is proper in this context because the Holy  Inspiration is so close to knowledge that it calls it forth; or
Tx:5.13 The Holy Spirit, the shared  Inspiration of all the Sonship, induces a kind of perception in which
Tx:7.31  is both an art and a science. It is an art, because it depends on  inspiration in the sense that we have already used the term.
Tx:7.31  on inspiration in the sense that we have already used the term.  Inspiration is the opposite of dispiriting and therefore means to
Tx:7.32  Science is nothing more than an approach to what already is. Like  inspiration it can be misunderstood as magic and will be whenever it
Tx:7.33 Truth can only be recognized and need only be recognized.  Inspiration is of the Spirit, and certainty is of God according to
Tx:7.33  to His laws. Both, therefore, come from the same Source, [because]  inspiration comes from the Voice for God, and certainty comes from

inspire (6)

Tx:1.38  consciousness is the state which produces action, though it does not  inspire it. Man is free to believe what he chooses, and what he does
Tx:1.42 31. Miracles should  inspire gratitude, not awe. Man should thank God for what he really
Tx:4.68  the living God created. Why do you believe it is harder for me to  inspire the dispirited or to stabilize the unstable? I do not believe
Tx:6.12  of the altar is what makes it a church. Any church which does not  inspire love has a hidden altar which is not serving the purpose for
Tx:6.33  you made it, and the Holy Spirit can therefore use it well. He can  inspire perception and lead it toward God by making it parallel to
Tx:9.31  Him with your ears. How, then, can you perceive Him at all? If you  inspire joy, and others react to you with joy even though you are not

inspired (8)

Tx:1.80  Spirit is the bringer of revelations. Revelations are indirectly  inspired by me because I am close to the Holy Spirit and alert to the
Tx:2.87  for which the Atonement was offered. The need for the remedy  inspired its creation. As long as you recognize only the need for the
Tx:4.1  opposite of fatigue. To be fatigued is to be dis-spirited, but to be  inspired is to be in the spirit. To be egocentric is to be
Tx:4.1  be dispirited, but to be Self-centered in the right sense is to be  inspired, or in the Soul. The truly inspired are enlightened and
Tx:4.1  in the right sense is to be inspired, or in the Soul. The truly  inspired are enlightened and cannot abide in darkness.
Tx:4.2  have chosen “to be still and know that I am God.” These words are  inspired because they come from knowledge. If you speak from the ego,
Tx:7.1  process in which you share, and because you share it, you are  inspired to create like God. Yet in creation you are not in

Tx:9.67 You will remember everything the  instant you desire it wholly, for if to desire wholly is to create,
Tx:9.82  Father. He is therefore not eternal and will be unmade for you the  instant you signify your willingness to accept only the eternal. If
Tx:10.74  perception will be translated into knowledge will leave you only an  instant to realize that this judgment is true.
Tx:11.28  lose sight of this, and never allow yourself to believe even for an  instant that there is another answer. For you will surely place

Tx:12.65  is all about him and within him. He must deny the world of pain the  instant he perceives the arms of love around him. And from this point
Tx:13.63  will not leave you asleep. The vision of Christ is given the very  instant that it is perceived. Where everything is clear, it is all
Tx:14.29  Him. Therefore, to Him it is so easy that it was accomplished the  instant it was given Him for you. Do not delay yourselves in your
Tx:14.44 Could you but realize for a single  instant the power of healing that the reflection of God, shining in
Tx:14.49  blots them out. Where there was light, darkness removes it in an  instant, and alternating patterns of light and darkness sweep
Tx:14.66  speak to you. He will take His rightful place in your awareness the  instant you abandon it and offer it to Him.
Tx:15.9  which do not exist. There is no fear in the present when each  instant stands clear and separated from the past, without its shadow
Tx:15.9  from the past, without its shadow reaching out into the future. Each  instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in which the Son of God
Tx:15.10  use of time as a teaching aid to happiness and peace. Take this very  instant, now, and think of it as all there is of time. Nothing can
Tx:15.10  completely free, and wholly without condemnation. From this holy  instant wherein holiness was born again, you will go forth in time
Tx:15.11  without change, yet holiness does not change. Learn from this  instant more than merely hell does not exist. In this redeeming
Tx:15.11  this instant more than merely hell does not exist. In this redeeming  instant lies Heaven. And Heaven will not change, for the birth into
Tx:15.11  no change in Heaven because there is no change in God. In the holy  instant in which you see yourself as bright with freedom, you will
Tx:15.12  to change your mind so completely, ask yourself, “How long is an  instant?” Could you not give so short a time to the Holy Spirit for
Tx:15.12  you how to be willing to give Him this than for Him to use this tiny  instant to offer you the whole of Heaven. In exchange for this
Tx:15.12  tiny instant to offer you the whole of Heaven. In exchange for this  instant, He stands ready to give you the remembrance of eternity.
Tx:15.13 You will never give this holy  instant to the Holy Spirit on behalf of your release while you are
Tx:15.13  unwilling to give it to your brothers on behalf of theirs. For the  instant of holiness is shared, and cannot be yours alone. Remember,
Tx:15.13  Remember, then, when you are tempted to attack a brother, that his  instant of release is yours. Miracles are the instants of release you
Tx:15.13  to offer time to the Holy Spirit for His use of it. How long is an  instant? It is as short for your brother as it is for you. Practice
Tx:15.13  for your brother as it is for you. Practice giving this blessed  instant of freedom to all who are enslaved by time and thus make time
Tx:15.13  make time their friend for them. The Holy Spirit gives their blessed  instant to you through your giving it. As you give it, He offers it
Tx:15.14  from guilt. You must be holy if you offer holiness. How long is an  instant? As long as it takes to reestablish perfect sanity, perfect
Tx:15.15  for. Holiness lies not in time but in eternity. There never was an  instant in which God's Son could lose his purity. His changeless
Tx:15.15  not. And so it is no longer time at all. For, caught in the single  instant of the eternal sanctity of God's creation, it is transformed
Tx:15.15  of God's creation, it is transformed into forever. Give the eternal  instant that eternity may be remembered for you in that shining
Tx:15.15  instant that eternity may be remembered for you in that shining  instant of perfect release. Offer the miracle of the holy instant
Tx:15.15  shining instant of perfect release. Offer the miracle of the holy  instant through the Holy Spirit and leave His giving it to you to Him.
Tx:15.16  by time. No more are you. For unless God is bound, you cannot be. An  instant offered to the Holy Spirit is offered to God on your behalf,
Tx:15.16  to the Holy Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, and in that  instant you will awaken gently in Him. In the blessed instant, you
Tx:15.16  and in that instant you will awaken gently in Him. In the blessed  instant, you will let go all your past learning, and the Holy Spirit
Tx:15.17 Do not be concerned with time and fear not the  instant of holiness which will remove all fear. For the instant of
Tx:15.17  fear not the instant of holiness which will remove all fear. For the  instant of peace is eternal because it is wholly without fear. It
Tx:15.18  will forever be. All that you have, you have forever. The blessed  instant reaches out to encompass time, as God extends Himself to
Tx:15.18  its weakness, do not perceive the Source of strength. In the holy  instant, you will unchain all your brothers and refuse to support
Tx:15.19  complete release. And because of this, you have not given one single  instant completely to the Holy Spirit. For when you have, you will be
Tx:15.20  through the Holy Spirit. And then you will doubt no more. The holy  instant has not yet happened to you. Yet it will, and you will
Tx:15.20  in any other way. You can practice the mechanics of the holy  instant and will learn much from doing so. Yet its shining and
Tx:15.20  by its own vision, you cannot supply. And here it is, all in this  instant, complete, accomplished, and given wholly.
Tx:15.21 Start now to practice your little part in separating out the holy  instant. You will receive very specific instructions as you go along.
Tx:15.21  it is the practice of the power of God in you. Use it but for one  instant, and you will never deny it again. Who can deny the Presence
Tx:15.35  you would rather delay the recognition that His Will is so. The holy  instant is this one and every one. The one you want it to be it is.
Tx:15.36  therefore rest upon your willingness to let all littleness go. The  instant in which magnitude will dawn upon you is but as far away as
Tx:15.38  your Father has placed Himself? This you will recognize in the holy  instant in which you willingly and gladly give over every plan but
Tx:15.38  you have been willing to meet its conditions. You can claim the holy  instant any time and anywhere you want it. In your practice, try to
Tx:15.38  for finding magnitude in littleness. It is not there. Use the holy  instant only to recognize that you alone cannot know where it is and
Tx:15.39 I stand within the holy  instant, as clear as you would have me. And the extent to which you
Tx:15.39  be willing to accept me is the measure of the time in which the holy  instant will be yours. I call to you to make the holy instant yours
Tx:15.39  which the holy instant will be yours. I call to you to make the holy  instant yours at once, for the release from littleness in the mind of
Tx:15.40 You could live forever in the holy  instant, beginning now and reaching to eternity, but for a very
Tx:15.40  to let it go. The simple reason, simply stated, is this: The holy  instant is a time in which you receive and give perfect
Tx:15.41  do that is to deny the perfect communication that makes the holy  instant what it is. You believe that it is possible to harbor
Tx:15.42  cannot come into a mind that has decided to oppose it. For the holy  instant is given and received with equal willingness, being the
Tx:15.43 The necessary condition for the holy  instant does not require that you have no thoughts which are not
Tx:15.43  you would keep. Innocence is not of your making. It is given you the  instant you would have it. Yet it would not be Atonement if there
Tx:15.45 The holy  instant is the Holy Spirit's most useful learning device for teaching
Tx:15.47  you more than others? The past has taught you this. Yet the holy  instant teaches you it is not so.
Tx:15.52  knows how to bring a touch of Heaven to them here. In the holy  instant no one is special, for your personal needs intrude on no one
Tx:15.52  would you see any separation between yourself and them. In the holy  instant, you see in each relationship what it will be when you
Tx:15.53  having always known you exactly as He knows you now. The holy  instant parallels His knowing by bringing all perception out of the
Tx:15.53  God. The Holy Spirit's timelessness lies only here. For in the holy  instant, free of the past, you see that love is in you, and you have
Tx:15.54 All your relationships are blessed in the holy  instant because the blessing is not limited. In the holy instant, the
Tx:15.54  in the holy instant because the blessing is not limited. In the holy  instant, the Sonship gains as one. And united in your blessing, it
Tx:15.54  Holy Spirit bring to you those who are seeking you. Yet in the holy  instant, you unite directly with God, and all your brothers join in
Tx:15.55  With love in you, you have no need except to extend it. In the holy  instant, there is no conflict of needs, for there is only one. For
Tx:15.55  there is no conflict of needs, for there is only one. For the holy  instant reaches to eternity and to the Mind of God. And it is only
Tx:15.57  as it is in you, or it would be a limited gift to you. In the holy  instant, we share our faith in God's Son because we recognize
Tx:15.60  and so no one is aware that perfect love is in him. In the holy  instant, you recognize the idea of love in you and unite this idea
Tx:15.60  it. By holding it within itself, there was no loss. The holy  instant thus becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your brothers in
Tx:15.61 In the holy  instant, the laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning. The
Tx:15.61  it is impossible that he be bound or limited in any way. In this  instant, he is as free as God would have him be. For the instant he
Tx:15.61  In this instant, he is as free as God would have him be. For the  instant he refuses to be bound, he is not bound.
Tx:15.62 In the holy  instant, nothing happens that has not always been. Only the veil that
Tx:15.62  because He offered it to me and I accepted it. Fear not the holy  instant will be denied you, for I denied it not. And through me the
Tx:15.62  no need that you perceive obscure your need of this. For in the holy  instant, you will recognize the only need the aspects of the Son of
Tx:15.64 In the holy  instant God is remembered, and the language of communication with all
Tx:15.64  remembered together, as is truth. There is no exclusion in the holy  instant because the past is gone and with it goes the whole basis for
Tx:15.77  that it can overcome even this without fear. It is through the holy  instant that what seems impossible is accomplished, making it evident
Tx:15.77  making it evident that it is not impossible. In the holy  instant, guilt holds no attraction, since communication has been
Tx:15.79 The holy  instant does not replace the need for learning, for the Holy Spirit
Tx:15.79  the Holy Spirit must not leave you as your Teacher until the holy  instant has extended far beyond time. For a teaching assignment such
Tx:15.80  desire with all your hearts. Let us join together in making the holy  instant all that there is by desiring that it be all that there is.
Tx:15.82 Think but an  instant on this: God gave the Sonship to you to ensure your perfect
Tx:15.85  to God. It is this shift in vision which is accomplished in the holy  instant. Yet it is needful for you to learn just what this shift
Tx:15.87  have no limits, having been established by God. In the holy  instant, where the Great Rays replace the body in awareness, the
Tx:15.91  in it, you will learn you have no need of a body at all. In the holy  instant there are no bodies, and you experience only the attraction
Tx:15.91  of God. Accepting it as undivided, you join Him wholly in an  instant. [For you would place no limits on your union with Him.] The
Tx:15.93 The holy  instant is truly the time of Christ. For in this liberating instant,
Tx:15.93 The holy instant is truly the time of Christ. For in this liberating  instant, no guilt is laid upon the Son of God, and his unlimited
Tx:15.107 In the holy  instant, the condition of love is met, for minds are joined without
Tx:15.112  There is much to do, and we have been long delayed. Accept the holy  instant as this year is born and take your place, so long left
Tx:16.34  Seen in these terms, no one would hesitate. But conflict enters the  instant the choice seems to be one between illusions, for this choice
Tx:16.60  which the Holy Spirit asks your help if you would have His. The holy  instant is His most helpful tool in protecting you from the
Tx:16.68  it. Wait no longer, for the love of God and you. And may the holy  instant speed you on the way, as it will surely do if you but let it
Tx:16.69  relationship which still attracts you, enter with Him into a holy  instant and there let Him release you. He needs only your willingness
Tx:16.75  insane notion of salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the holy  instant. We said before that the Holy Spirit must teach through
Tx:16.75  through comparisons and uses opposites to point to truth. The holy  instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed belief in salvation
Tx:16.75  belief in salvation through vengeance for the past. In the holy  instant, it is accepted that the past is gone, and with its passing
Tx:16.76 For a time you may attempt to bring illusions into the holy  instant to hinder your full awareness of the complete difference in
Tx:16.76  truth and illusion. Yet you will not attempt this long. In the holy  instant, the power of the Holy Spirit will prevail because you joined
Tx:16.76  prevent you from keeping the experience in your mind. Yet the holy  instant is eternal, and your illusions of time will not prevent the
Tx:16.77  You will receive because it is His Will to give. He gave the holy  instant to be given you, and it is impossible that you receive it
Tx:16.77  When He willed that His Son be free, His Son was free. In the holy  instant is His reminder that His Son will always be exactly as he was
Tx:16.78  been forgiven, for it is you who offered them illusions. In the holy  instant, this is done for you in time to bring to you the true
Tx:16.80 Seek and find his message in the holy  instant, where all illusions are forgiven. From there the miracle
Tx:17.36 That is why the holy  instant is so important in the defense of truth. The truth itself
Tx:17.37 The holy  instant is a miniature of Heaven, sent you from Heaven. It is a
Tx:17.37  willingness to focus all your attention on the picture. The holy  instant is a miniature of eternity. It is a picture of timelessness,
Tx:17.37  of the ego lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven lies in this  instant, borrowed from eternity and set in time for you.
Tx:17.42  with Him lies in our relationship to one another. The holy  instant shines alike on all relationships, for in it they are one.
Tx:17.43 The holy relationship is the expression of the holy  instant in living in this world. Like everything about salvation, the
Tx:17.43  in living in this world. Like everything about salvation, the holy  instant is a practical device, witnessed to by its results. The holy
Tx:17.43  instant is a practical device, witnessed to by its results. The holy  instant never fails. The experience of it is always felt. Yet without
Tx:17.52  in joyous echo of your choice. You have joined with many in the holy  instant, and they have joined with you. Think not your choice will
Tx:17.53  thanks and gratitude, you make yourselves unable to express the holy  instant, and thus you lose sight of it.
Tx:17.54 The experience of an  instant, however compelling it may be, is easily forgotten if you
Tx:17.54  gracious in your awareness of time but not concealed within it. The  instant remains. But where are you? To give thanks to each other is
Tx:17.54  are you? To give thanks to each other is to appreciate the holy  instant and thus enable its results to be accepted and shared. To
Tx:17.54  to be accepted and shared. To attack each other is not to lose the  instant but to make it powerless in its effects. You have received
Tx:17.54  but to make it powerless in its effects. You have received the holy  instant, but you have established a condition in which you cannot use
Tx:17.56  given to each other, you will also accept the effects of the holy  instant and use them to correct all your mistakes and free you from
Tx:17.74 The holy  instant is nothing more than a special case or an extreme example of
Tx:17.74  left unused, that faith might answer to the call of truth. The holy  instant is the shining example, the clear and unequivocal
Tx:17.76 Would you not want to make a holy  instant of every situation? For such is the gift of faith, freely
Tx:18.17  dream cannot escape its origin. Anger and fear pervade it, and in an  instant, the illusion of satisfaction is invaded by the illusion of
Tx:18.25  are afraid, you have stepped back. Let us then join quickly in an  instant of light, and it will be enough to remind you that your goal
Tx:18.28 Each  instant that we spend together will teach you that this goal is
Tx:18.30  has been brought to light. Carry it back to darkness from the holy  instant to which you brought it. We are made whole in our desire to
Tx:18.32 The holy  instant is the result of your determination to be holy. It is the
Tx:18.32  adds the greatness and the might. He joins with you to make the holy  instant far greater than you can understand. It is your realization
Tx:18.33  came. If you could come without them, you would not need the holy  instant. Come to it not in arrogance, assuming that you must achieve
Tx:18.33  achieve the state its coming brings with it. The miracle of the holy  instant lies in your willingness to let it be what it is. And in your
Tx:18.34  greatness, which comes not of you. Your difficulty with the holy  instant arises from your fixed conviction that you are not worthy of
Tx:18.35 The holy  instant does not come from your little willingness alone. It is
Tx:18.36  merely receive the answer as it is given. In preparing for the holy  instant, do not attempt to make yourself holy to be ready to receive
Tx:18.38  add if you prepare yourself for love. The preparation for the holy  instant belongs to Him Who gives it. Release yourselves to Him Whose
Tx:18.39 It is this that makes the holy  instant so easy and so natural. You make it difficult because you
Tx:18.40  it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. If you believe the holy  instant is difficult for you, it is because you have become the

Tx:18.42 Never approach the holy  instant after you have tried to remove all fear and hatred from your
Tx:18.43 Through your holy relationship, reborn and blessed in every holy  instant which you do not arrange, thousands will rise to Heaven with
Tx:18.46  Spirit your willingness in spite of fear to let Him exchange this  instant for the holy one which you would rather have. He will never

Tx:18.62  place with your desire for it is the irresistible appeal the holy  instant holds. It calls to you to be yourself within its safe

Tx:18.64  disappeared. You are not asked to let this happen for more than an  instant, yet it is in this instant that the miracle of Atonement
Tx:18.64  asked to let this happen for more than an instant, yet it is in this  instant that the miracle of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will
Tx:18.64  you will see the body again, but never quite the same. And every  instant that you spend without awareness of it gives you a different
Tx:18.65 At no single  instant does the body exist at all. It is always remembered or
Tx:18.65  Time controls it entirely, for sin is never present. In any single  instant, the attraction of guilt would be experienced as pain and
Tx:18.66 It is impossible to accept the holy  instant without reservation unless just for an instant you are
Tx:18.66  to accept the holy instant without reservation unless just for an  instant you are willing to see no past or future. You cannot prepare
Tx:18.66  for it without placing it in the future. Release is given you the  instant you desire it. Many have spent a lifetime in preparation and
Tx:18.67  but in means. A holy relationship is a means of saving time. One  instant spent together restores the universe to both of you. You are
Tx:18.68  of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty. Believe it for just one  instant, and you will accomplish more than is given to a century of
Tx:18.80  of Heaven with all the love of its Creator shining upon it. The holy  instant is your invitation to love, to enter into your bleak and
Tx:18.81  no barriers which would interfere with its glad coming. In the holy  instant, you ask of love only what it offers everyone, neither less
Tx:18.97  the darkness and gently placed before the gates of Heaven. The holy  instant in which you were united is but the messenger of love, sent
Tx:19.11  from yours. Each one appears just as he is perceived in the holy  instant, united in your purpose to be released from guilt. You saw
Tx:19.14 In the holy  instant, you stand before the altar God has raised unto Himself and
Tx:19.34  not hidden. You will be healed of sin and all its ravages the  instant that you give it no power over each other. And you will help
Tx:19.35 In the holy  instant, you will see the smile of heaven shining on both of you. And
Tx:19.35  union Heaven has smiled upon. Your perception was healed in the holy  instant Heaven gave you. Forget what you have seen and raise your
Tx:19.55  and at which everyone is welcomed as an honored guest. And in a holy  instant, grace is said by everyone together as they join in
Tx:19.98  and tremble not. You will be ready. Let us join together in a holy  instant, here in this place where the purpose given in a holy instant
Tx:19.98  a holy instant, here in this place where the purpose given in a holy  instant has led you. And let us join in faith that He Who brought us
Tx:20.25  in darkness they remember not the light, do not leap up in joy the  instant they are made free. It takes a while for them to understand
Tx:20.42 You look upon each holy  instant as a different point in time. It never changes. All that it
Tx:20.52  isolation which seems to be what it is not. No more than that. The  instant that the mad idea of making your relationship with God unholy
Tx:20.52  all your relationships were made meaningless. In that unholy  instant, time was born and bodies made to house the mad idea and give
Tx:20.52  For what could house this mad idea against reality but for an  instant?
Tx:20.53  must disappear and leave no trace behind their going. The unholy  instant of their seeming power is frail as is a snowflake, but
Tx:20.53  Is this the substitute you want for the eternal blessing of the holy  instant and its unlimited beneficence? Is the malevolence of the
Tx:20.53  and so invested in a false attraction, your preference to the holy  instant which offers you peace and understanding? Then lay aside the
Tx:20.54  smile and tender blessing it offers to its own. Here the unholy  instant is exchanged in gladness for the holy one of safe return.

Tx:20.55  to sigh and grieve and die in honor of its master. And this unholy  instant seems to be life; an instant of despair, a tiny island of dry
Tx:20.55  in honor of its master. And this unholy instant seems to be life; an  instant of despair, a tiny island of dry sand, bereft of water and
Tx:20.56 Here it is given him to choose to spend this  instant paying tribute to the body or let himself be given freedom
Tx:20.56  or let himself be given freedom from it. Here he can accept the holy  instant, offered him to replace the unholy one he chose before. And
Tx:20.56  this may still be fearful, but you are not immobilized. The holy  instant is of greater value now to you than its unholy seeming
Tx:20.62  the ego tries to make the unholy relationship seem real. The unholy  instant is the time of bodies. But the purpose here is sin. It cannot
Tx:20.63  unholy relationships with other bodies, serving the cause of sin an  instant before he dies.
Tx:20.77  who is there who could refuse what must come after? Think but an  instant just on this—you can behold the holiness God gave His Son.
Tx:21.18  see goes with it. Never was so much given for so little. In the holy  instant is this exchange effected and maintained. Here is the world
Tx:21.23 Be willing for an  instant to leave your altars free of what you placed upon them, and
Tx:21.23  upon them, and what is really there you cannot fail to see. The holy  instant is not an instant of creation but of recognition. For
Tx:21.23  is really there you cannot fail to see. The holy instant is not an  instant of creation but of recognition. For recognition comes of
Tx:21.28  other and separate from your Father, you made in secret, and the  instant of release has come to you. All its effects are gone because
Tx:21.37  given you is more than anything that stands this side of Heaven. The  instant for its recognition is at hand. Join your awareness to what
Tx:21.53  there since the need for Him arose and was fulfilled in the same  instant. Such would your reason tell you if you listened. Yet such is
Tx:21.65  you to change his whole mind, which is one with you, in just an  instant. And any instant serves to bring complete correction of his
Tx:21.65  his whole mind, which is one with you, in just an instant. And any  instant serves to bring complete correction of his errors and make
Tx:21.65  to bring complete correction of his errors and make him whole. The  instant that you choose to let yourself be healed, in that same
Tx:21.65  The instant that you choose to let yourself be healed, in that same  instant is his whole salvation seen as complete with yours. Reason is
Tx:21.67  be given you to give what It has given and gives still. Spend but an  instant in the glad acceptance of what is given you to give your
Tx:21.90 What is the holy  instant but God's appeal to you to recognize what He has given you?
Tx:22.14  it through awareness older than perception and yet reborn in just an  instant. For what is time to what was always so? Think what that
Tx:22.14  an instant. For what is time to what was always so? Think what that  instant brought—the recognition that the “something else” you
Tx:23.40  your foot upon the twisted stairway that leads from Heaven. Yet any  instant it is possible to have all this undone. How can you know
Tx:23.46  not lingered there in cowering hope because the guns are stilled an  instant and the fear that haunts the place of death is not apparent,
Tx:24.26  it for himself? For it is sure he would receive it wholly the  instant that he gave it so. And thus his secret guilt would
Tx:24.38  your reality not real but just a dream of specialness which lasts an  instant, crumbling into dust.
Tx:24.43  the sightless, unlit but by the shifting tiny gleams that spark an  instant from the fireflies of sin and then go out, to lead the other
Tx:25.26  and the sight of perfect sinlessness. Nothing arises but is met with  instant and complete forgiveness.
Tx:25.27 Nothing remains an  instant to obscure the sinlessness that shines unchanged beyond the
Tx:25.27  yet no one has entered it alone. [Nor need he stay more than an  instant.] For he has come with Heaven's Help within him ready to lead
Tx:25.31  to you will make this choice your future? For you make it now, the  instant when all time becomes a means to reach a goal. Make then your
Tx:25.48  did God appoint to be the means for his salvation from the very  instant that the choice was made. His special sin was made his
Tx:26.5  become a treasure house as rich and limitless as Heaven itself. No  instant passes here in which your brother's holiness cannot be seen,
Tx:26.7 Yet every  instant can you be reborn and given life again. His holiness gives
Tx:26.8  eternally and everywhere. He is the same forever—born again each  instant, untouched by time, and far beyond the reach of any sacrifice
Tx:26.32  it. And what He would replace has been replaced. Time lasted but an  instant in your mind, with no effect upon eternity. And so is all
Tx:26.32  one and all of them that came within the first. And in that tiny  instant time was gone, for that was all it ever was. What God gave
Tx:26.33  live in what is past. Each thing you look upon you saw but for an  instant, long ago before its unreality gave way to truth. Not one
Tx:26.34 The tiny  instant you would keep and make eternal passed away in Heaven too
Tx:26.35  or thought, in every judgment, and in all belief in sin, is that one  instant still called back, as if it could be made again in time. You
Tx:26.37  is gone and cannot be returned to you? And do you want that fearful  instant kept, when Heaven seemed to disappear and God was feared and
Tx:26.39  gone by? [This course will teach you only what is now.] A dreadful  instant in a distant past, now perfectly corrected, is of no concern
Tx:26.39  power to keep you in a place of death, a vault God's Son entered an  instant, to be instantly restored unto His Father's perfect Love. And
Tx:26.40  that God created is as free as God created him. He was reborn the  instant that he chose to die instead of live. And will you not
Tx:26.42 Each day and every minute in each day and every  instant that each minute holds, you but relive the single instant
Tx:26.42  and every instant that each minute holds, you but relive the single  instant when the time of terror was replaced by love. And so you die
Tx:26.42  from birth to death and on to life again, a repetition of an  instant gone by long ago, which cannot be relived. And all of time is
Tx:26.56  within Itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is possible the  instant that the Son of God perceives his wishes and the Will of God
Tx:26.63  on the Son of God. Deny him not, that you may be released. Each  instant is the Son of God reborn, until he chooses not to die again.
Tx:26.63  he chooses death instead of what his Father wills for him. Yet every  instant offers life to him because his Father wills that he should
Tx:27.21  balance in the sacrifice. How could the Holy Spirit be deterred an  instant, even less, to reason with an argument for sickness such as
Tx:27.34  any kind. For you will give it overwhelming preference. Nor delay an  instant in deciding that it is the only one you want. It does not
Tx:27.37  state of mind in which the answer is already there. Such is the holy  instant. It is here that all your problems should be brought and
Tx:27.41  want an honest answer where the conflict ends. Only within the holy  instant can an honest question honestly be asked. And from the
Tx:27.42  is preserved intact because it gave the answer to itself. The holy  instant is the interval in which the mind is still enough to hear an
Tx:27.43  question, though they leave the first unanswered. In the holy  instant, you can bring the question to the answer and receive the
Tx:27.44  forth because of what it is. It is its nature to extend itself the  instant it is born. And it is born the instant it is offered and
Tx:27.44  nature to extend itself the instant it is born. And it is born the  instant it is offered and received. No one can ask another to be
Tx:27.45  be no need for healing then. But it does mean, if only for an  instant, you love without attack. An instant is sufficient. Miracles
Tx:27.45  it does mean, if only for an instant, you love without attack. An  instant is sufficient. Miracles wait not on time.
Tx:27.46 The holy  instant is the miracle's abiding-place. From there each one is born
Tx:27.46  where a miracle has come to heal. And nothing more than just one  instant of your love without attack is necessary that all this occur.
Tx:27.46  love without attack is necessary that all this occur. In that one  instant are you healed, and in that single instant is all healing
Tx:27.46  this occur. In that one instant are you healed, and in that single  instant is all healing done.
Tx:27.47 What stands apart from you when you accept the blessing that the holy  instant brings? Be not afraid of blessing, for the One Who blesses
Tx:27.47  of you on your behalf. A dying world asks only that you rest an  instant from attack upon yourself, that it be healed.
Tx:27.48 Come to the holy  instant and be healed, for nothing that is there received is left
Tx:27.53  understand that you have benefited from it. What occurred within the  instant which love entered in without attack will stay with you
Tx:27.61  that you may demonstrate the healing of the world. The holy  instant will replace all sin if you but carry its effects with you.
Tx:27.72  illusions and of fear, the time of terror and of ancient hate, the  instant of disaster, all are here. Here is the cause of unreality.
Tx:27.80  to figures in a dream unless he sees them as if they were real? The  instant that he sees them as they are, they have no more effects on
Tx:27.85  idle dream in which this could occur,” and you will leave the holy  instant with your laughter and your brother's joined with His.
Tx:28.11 The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an  instant and is still. It reaches gently from that quiet time, and
Tx:28.12 He to Whom time is given offers thanks for every quiet  instant given Him. For in that instant is His memory allowed to offer
Tx:28.12  given offers thanks for every quiet instant given Him. For in that  instant is His memory allowed to offer all its treasures to the Son
Tx:28.12  and Him and lets Them enter where They would abide. For in that  instant does the Son of God do nothing that would make himself afraid.
Tx:28.15  to allow the memory of God to flow across it, making it a bridge an  instant will suffice to reach beyond? For God has closed it with
Tx:28.63  be sick. All miracles are based upon this choice and given you the  instant it is made. No forms of sickness are immune because the
Tx:29.9  What toys or trinkets in the gap could serve to hold you back an  instant from His love? Would you allow the body to say “no” to
Tx:30.45  shine through all eternity. There was no time it was not there; no  instant when its light grew dimmer or less perfect ever was.
Tx:31.12 Let us be still an  instant and forget all things we ever learned, all thoughts we had,
Tx:31.20 Then let us wait an  instant and be still, forgetting everything we thought we heard;
Tx:31.22 Be very still an  instant. Come without all thought of what you ever learned before and
Tx:31.24 An  instant spent without your old ideas of who your great companion is
Tx:31.63  is doomed to suffering and loss. And no one is exactly as he was an  instant previous, nor will he be the same as he is now an instant
Tx:31.63  he was an instant previous, nor will he be the same as he is now an  instant hence. Who could have trust where so much change is seen, for
Tx:31.77  meet or look upon, not knowing who they are, all those you saw an  instant and forgot, and those you knew a long while since, and those
W1:33.5 Remember to apply today's idea the  instant you are aware of distress. It may be necessary to take a
W1:41.7  of practice as we go along. But it will never fail completely, and  instant success is possible.
W1:48.3  remembered God and let His strength take the place of yours. The  instant you are willing to do this, there is indeed nothing to fear.
W1:98.11  with you each practice period you share with Him, exchanging every  instant of the time you offer Him for timelessness and peace.
W1:128.4  hold you back. Nothing is here to cherish. Nothing here is worth one  instant of delay and pain, one moment of uncertainty and doubt. The
W1:135.20  and with joy which constantly increases as this life becomes a holy  instant, set in time but heeding only immortality. Let no defenses
W1:136.8  you suffering. It is a choice you make, a plan you lay when for an  instant truth arises in your own deluded mind and all your world
W1:136.21  identity which will attack the body, for the mind is sick. Give  instant remedy should this occur by not allowing your defensiveness
W1:137.11  become the instruments of healing. Nor does time elapse between the  instant they are healed and all the grace of healing it is given them
W1:153.8  minds, and we mistook the figures in it for the Son of God, its tiny  instant for eternity.
W1:156.6  dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who would waste an  instant in approach to God Himself for such a senseless whim?
W1:157.2  the highest reaches it can possibly attain. It leaves us there an  instant and we go beyond it, sure of our direction and our only goal.
W1:157.9  The vision of His face will stay with you, but there will be an  instant which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you
W1:157.9  Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that  instant and will surely know again.
W1:159.10  can be made from death to life, from hopelessness to hope. Let us an  instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His vision
W1:164.1  The present is the only time there is. And so today, this  instant, now, we come to look upon what is forever there—not in our
W1:165.2  you. It left you not, nor have you ever been apart from It an  instant. It belongs to you. By It you live. It is your Source of
W1:167.10  form today. Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an  instant where the thought of life eternal has been set by God Himself.
W1:168.4  will disappear, and vision first will come with knowledge but an  instant later. For in grace you see a light that covers all the world
W1:168.4  the light as theirs. What now remains that Heaven be delayed an  instant longer? What remains undone when your forgiveness rests on
W1:169.12  timelessness and brought a clear reflection of the unity he felt an  instant back to bless the world? How could you finally attain to it
W1:169.13 Be grateful to return, as you were glad to go an  instant and accept the gifts that grace provided you. You carry them
W1:181.3  while. We do not care about our future goals, and what we saw an  instant previous has no concern for us within this interval of time
W1:181.8  to block the vision of our sinlessness, we seek but for surcease an  instant from the misery the focus upon sin will bring and,
W1:181.10  we ask for now. Our sinlessness is but the Will of God. This  instant is our willing one with His.
W1:182.8 When you are still an  instant, when the world recedes from you, when valueless ideas cease
W1:182.8  He calls to you that you will not resist Him longer. In that  instant, He will take you to His home, and you will stay with Him in
W1:185.1  these words is everything. If you could but mean them for just an  instant, there would be no further sorrow possible for you in any
W1:186.9  blow across his mind like windswept leaves that form a patterning an  instant, break apart to group again, and scamper off. Or like mirages
W1:193.14  Do not try to hold it off another day, another minute, or another  instant. Time was made for this. Use it today for what its purpose
W1:194.3 In no one  instant is depression felt or pain experienced or loss perceived. In
W1:194.3  is depression felt or pain experienced or loss perceived. In no one  instant sorrow can be set upon a throne and worshiped faithfully. In
W1:194.3  sorrow can be set upon a throne and worshiped faithfully. In no one  instant can one even die. And so each instant given unto God in
W1:194.3  faithfully. In no one instant can one even die. And so each  instant given unto God in passing, with the next one given Him
W1:194.5  from its bequest of grief and misery, of pain and loss, becomes the  instant in which time escapes the bondage of illusions where it runs
W1:194.5  where it runs its pitiless, inevitable course. Then is each  instant, which was slave to time, transformed into a holy instant
W1:194.5  is each instant, which was slave to time, transformed into a holy  instant when the light that was kept hidden in God's Son is freed to
W1:196.4  would seem to need a thousand years can easily be done in just one  instant by the grace of God.
W1:196.10 There is an  instant in which terror seems to grip your mind so wholly that escape
W1:196.11 Now for an  instant is a murderer perceived within you, eager for your death,
W1:196.11  for you until the time when it can kill at last. Yet in this  instant is the time as well in which salvation comes. For fear of God
W1:196.11  in His Love, calling Him Father and yourself His Son. Pray that the  instant may be soon—today. Step back from fear and make advance to
W1:196.12  no thought of God that does not go with you to help you reach that  instant and to go beyond it quickly, surely, and forever. When the
W1:198.13  the Word of God alone remains upon it. Only that can be perceived an  instant longer. Then are symbols done and everything you ever thought
W1:198.14  know the Father? In this vision of the Son, so brief that not an  instant stands between this single sight and timelessness itself, you
W1:200.10  up and on toward Heaven, with the body's eyes but serving for an  instant longer now. Peace is already recognized at last, and you can
W1:202.1  I will be still a moment and go home. Why would I choose to stay an  instant more where I do not belong, when God Himself has given me His
W2:227.1  feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. This is my holy  instant of release. Father, I know my will is one with Yours.
W2:WS.2 The thought of peace was given to God's Son the  instant that his mind had thought of war. There was no need for such
W2:WS.5  is returned, that time is almost over, and God's Son has but an  instant more to wait until his Father is remembered, dreams are done,
W2:234.1  we have reached again the holy peace we never left. Merely a tiny  instant has elapsed between eternity and timelessness. So brief the
W2:241.1  today! It is a time of special celebration. For today holds out the  instant to the darkened world where its release is set. The day has
W2:270.1  dreams be brought to truth, and waits expectantly the one remaining  instant more of time, which ends forever as Your memory returns to
W2:271.1 Each day, each hour, every  instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to
W2:285.1  they have been sent by me. And I will ask for only joyous things the  instant I accept my holiness. For what would be the use of pain to
W2:290.1  my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an  instant longer. This the day I seek my present happiness and look on
W2:WIRW.5  of time when it has served His purpose. Now He waits but that one  instant more for God to take His final step, and time has
W2:WIRW.5  with it as it goes and leaving but the Truth to be Itself. That  instant is our goal, for it contains the memory of God. And as we
W2:300.2  true Identity. And we give thanks today the world endures but for an  instant. We would go beyond that tiny instant to eternity.
W2:300.2  the world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that tiny  instant to eternity.
W2:308.1  only interval in which I can be saved from time is now. For in this  instant has forgiveness come to set me free. The birth of Christ is
W2:308.2 Thanks for this  instant, Father. It is now I am redeemed. This instant is the time
W2:308.2 Thanks for this instant, Father. It is now I am redeemed. This  instant is the time You have appointed for Your Son's release and for
W2:324.2  Who knows the way. We need not tarry, and we cannot stray except an  instant from His loving hand. We walk together, for we follow Him.
W2:355.1  Even now my fingers touch it. It is very close. I need not wait an  instant more to be at peace forever. It is You I choose and my
M:2.2  is entirely apart from time. So is all reality, being of Him. The  instant the idea of separation entered the Mind of God's Son, in that
M:2.2  the idea of separation entered the Mind of God's Son, in that same  instant was God's Answer given. In time this happened very long ago.
M:2.4 Time really, then, goes backward to an  instant so ancient that it is beyond all memory and past even the
M:2.4  and past even the possibility of remembering. Yet because it is an  instant that is relived again and again and still again, it seems to

M:14.3  the goals of God's teachers. Not one thought of sin will remain the  instant any one of them accepts the Atonement for himself. It is not
M:15.3  yourself to hear this judgment and to recognize that it is true. One  instant of complete belief in this, and you will go beyond belief to
M:15.3  belief in this, and you will go beyond belief to certainty. One  instant out of time can bring time's end. Judge not, for you but

Tx:25.48  let it serve his brother and himself and thus become a means to save  instead of lose. Salvation is no more than a reminder this world is
Tx:25.80  as losing, he has been condemned. And punishment becomes his due  instead of justice.
Tx:26.5 Those who would see the witnesses to truth  instead of to illusion merely ask that they might see a purpose in

Tx:27.75  Himself awaken His beloved Son. Dream of your brother's kindnesses  instead of dwelling in your dreams on his mistakes. Select his
Tx:27.75  dreams on his mistakes. Select his thoughtfulness to dream about  instead of counting up the hurts he gave. Forgive him his illusions
Tx:27.83  on a guilty world which dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts  instead of you. It brings its vengeance, not your own. It keeps you
Tx:28.7  it is gone, for this is what you would be pardoned from. And see  instead the new effects of cause accepted now, with consequences
Tx:28.27  I am doing this.” And thus the mind is free to make another choice  instead. Beginning here, salvation will proceed to change the course
Tx:28.37  him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you wish that they be turned  instead on you. Thus have they no effects. And you are free of dreams
Tx:28.41  part, but this you do when you become a passive figure in his dream  instead of dreamer of your own. Identity in dreams is meaningless
Tx:28.44  To each he offers his identity, which the whole picture represents,  instead of just a little broken bit which he insisted was himself.
Tx:28.66  everything his Father promised him. No secret promise you have made  instead has shaken the Foundation of his home. The winds will blow
Tx:29.10  to learn that you are free? Why would you not acclaim the truth,  instead of looking on it as an enemy? Why does an easy path, so
Tx:29.10  for you to follow? Is it not because you see it as the road to hell  instead of looking on it as a simple way, without a sacrifice or any
Tx:29.34  on every vain illusion of the world. And being empty, they received  instead a brother's hand in which completion lay.
Tx:29.35  thinks he holds the hand of death. Believe him not. But learn  instead how blessed are you who can release him just by offering him
Tx:29.36  him for all his dreams of death—a dream of hope you share with him  instead of dreaming evil separate dreams of hate. Why does it seem so
Tx:29.38  are you to forgive your brother? How much do you desire peace  instead of endless strife and misery and pain? These questions are
Tx:29.38  loss. This is the “sacrifice” salvation asks and gladly offers peace  instead of this.
Tx:29.65  believe because he fears his thoughts and gives them to the toys  instead. And their reality becomes his own because they seem to save
Tx:30.35 Look once again upon your enemy, the one you chose to hate  instead of love. For thus was hatred born into the world, and thus
Tx:30.57  made of anyone or anything to twist and fit into the dream of fear.  Instead, there is a wish to understand all things created as they
Tx:30.71  to make unnatural responses which are inappropriate to what is real.  Instead, it merely asks that you respond appropriately to what is not
Tx:30.91  dreams but keep their unreality obscure and give to them reality  instead. And Heaven gives no answer to the prayer, nor can a miracle
Tx:30.92  he denies reality. And he becomes the willing slave of what he chose  instead.
Tx:30.94  There is no false appearance but will fade if you request a miracle  instead. There is no pain from which he is not free if you would have
Tx:31.28  the body, and you give its purpose to its prison-house, which acts  instead of it. A jailer does not follow orders, but enforces orders
Tx:31.37  it not needful that he should begin with this, to seek another way  instead? For while he sees a choice where there is none, what power
Tx:31.38  be, is the beginning of acceptance that there is a real alternative  instead. To fight against this step is to defeat your purpose here.
Tx:31.63  looking at the cost of keeping guilt because they chose to let it go  instead.
Tx:31.73  of change and keep it static and concealed within your mind. Give it  instead to Him Who understands the changes that it needs to let it
Tx:31.73  not rather look upon yourself as needed for salvation of the world  instead of as salvation's enemy?
Tx:31.81  you are not. And think as well upon the thing that you would be  instead. It is a thing of madness, pain, and death; a thing of

W1:72.9  stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will try to welcome it  instead. Your upside-down perception has been ruinous to your peace
W1:72.10  is to end the attack on God's plan for salvation and to accept it  instead. And wherever His plan is accepted, it is accomplished
W1:72.19  is an attack on God's plan for salvation. Let me accept it  instead. What is salvation, Father?
W1:73.17  a grievance of any kind. This will help you let your grievances go  instead of cherishing them and hiding them in the darkness.
W1:76.7  this is so. It is no longer a truth which we would hide. We realize  instead it is a truth which keeps us free forever. Magic imprisons,
W1:78.1  the while it waits for you in light, but you behold your grievances  instead.
W1:78.2 Today we go beyond the grievances to look upon the miracle  instead. We will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to
W1:89.4  against you [name], but offer you the miracle that belongs to you  instead. Seen truly, this offers me a miracle.
W1:91.3  it is insanity not to see what is there and to see what is not there  instead. You do not doubt that the body's eyes can see. You do not

W1:155.12  always been. What way but this could be a path that you would choose  instead?
W1:161.2  it is now unnatural. It does not look on everything as one. It sees  instead but fragments of the whole, for only thus could it invent the

Tx:17.25 It is still up to you to choose to be willing to  join with truth or illusion. But remember that to choose one is to
Tx:17.52  you comfortless, for God Himself has blessed your holy relationship.  Join in His blessing, and withhold not yours upon it. For all it
Tx:17.52  for it has come to you. And welcome it together, for it has come to  join you together in a relationship in which all the Sonship is
Tx:18.10  in which you stand together. God is with you, my brothers. Let us  join in Him in peace and gratitude and accept His gift as our most
Tx:18.12  happiness? Or would you not prefer to heal what has been broken and  join in making whole what has been ravaged by separation and disease?
Tx:18.13  The peace of God is given you with the glowing purpose in which you  join. The holy light that brought you together must extend, as you
Tx:18.23  wishes in your mind, so do the real world and the truth of Heaven  join in the Will of God. The dream of waking is easily transferred to
Tx:18.25  and when you are afraid, you have stepped back. Let us then  join quickly in an instant of light, and it will be enough to remind
Tx:18.29  remain in darkness. Those who would see will see. And they will  join with me in carrying their light into the darkness when the

Tx:18.72  which surrounds you. God cannot come into a body, nor can you  join Him there. Limits on love will always seem to shut Him out and
Tx:19.42  rests in peace within you. Yet you are still unwilling to let it  join you wholly. You still oppose the Will of God, just by a little.

Tx:19.55  as they join in gentleness before the table of communion. And I will  join you there, as long ago I promised and promise still. For in your
Tx:19.61  messengers are sent far beyond the body, calling the mind to  join in holy communion and be at peace. Such is the message that I
Tx:19.63  has not lost communion with Him nor with himself. When you agreed to  join each other, you acknowledged this is so. This has no cost, but
Tx:19.91  peace will lightly brush the veil aside and run to meet Him and to  join with Him at last. For this dark veil, which seems to make the
Tx:19.93  fear of God be lifted so you could look upon the face of Christ and  join Him in His Father.
Tx:19.98  Stand you here a while and tremble not. You will be ready. Let us  join together in a holy instant, here in this place where the purpose
Tx:19.98  where the purpose given in a holy instant has led you. And let us  join in faith that He Who brought us here together will offer you the
Tx:19.105  God that he is holy and has been given the gift of holiness for you.  Join him in gladness and remove all trace of guilt from his disturbed
Tx:20.2  thorns in one hand and lilies in the other, uncertain which to give.  Join now with me and throw away the thorns, offering the lilies to
Tx:20.14 This is the way to Heaven and to the peace of Easter, in which we  join in glad awareness that the Son of God is risen from the past and
Tx:20.37  lost, and never lost forever. So do the parts of God's Son gradually  join in time, and with each joining is the end of time brought
Tx:21.37  this side of Heaven. The instant for its recognition is at hand.  Join your awareness to what has been already joined. The faith you
Tx:21.39  But “good” and “deprivation” are opposites and cannot meaningfully  join in any way. It is like saying that the moon and sun are one
Tx:21.43  identity lies in the ego. A holy relationship is one in which you  join with what is part of you in truth. And your belief in sin has
Tx:21.45  him perfectly since time began. And it desired nothing but to  join with him and to be free again, as once it was. It has been
Tx:21.71  strike them dead and raising up their helplessness against him. They  join the army of the powerless, to wage their war of vengeance,
Tx:22.13  being joined. Nor is it possible that anything not part of Him can  join. Communication must have been restored to those that join, for
Tx:22.13  of Him can join. Communication must have been restored to those that  join, for this they could not do through bodies. What, then, has
Tx:22.59  will withhold no blessing from it nor limit it in any way. He will  join to it all the power that God has given Him to make each little
Tx:23.9  an illusion of yourself you share with it. And yet illusions cannot  join. They are the same, and they are nothing. Their joining lies in
Tx:23.23  as the separate aspects of the Son meet only to conflict but not to  join. One becomes weak, the other strong by his defeat. And fear of
Tx:23.40  can be reached? If not, you walk alone. Ask, then, your Friend to  join with you and give you certainty of where you go.
Tx:24.33  that this be done unto your savior? God calls to you from him to  join His Will to save you both from hell. Look on the print of nails
Tx:25.4  to stand between the aspects of His holiness, which meet and  join and raise Him to His Father, whole and pure and worthy of His
Tx:25.8  that it is in truth, but that the link that has been given you to  join the truth may reach to you through what you understand. Father
Tx:25.8  Father and Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your brothers  join as one in truth. Christ and His Father never have been separate,
Tx:25.22  He gave the same to both of you. His Will is brought together as you  join in will that you be made complete by offering completion to your
Tx:25.39  in whatever form the call is made, that you unite with him and  join with him in innocence and peace. And yet beneath the ego's
Tx:26.1  can come a little nearer or go a little farther off but cannot  join.
Tx:26.2  inside can never reach without, and what is out can never reach and  join with what is locked away within the wall. Each part must

Tx:26.26  push the other off. And in the space which sin left vacant do they  join as one, in gladness recognizing what is part of them has not
Tx:26.29  rise a world which will become an altar to the truth, and you will  join the lights of Heaven there and sing their song of gratitude and

Tx:27.1  combine the wholly incompatible and make a unity of what can never  join? Walk you the gentle way, and you will fear no evil and no

Tx:28.29  sickness and perceived effects. Healing is the effect of minds which  join, as sickness comes from minds which separate.
Tx:28.30  minds are seen as bodies which are separated and which cannot  join. Do not allow your brother to be sick, for if he is, have you
Tx:28.31  and every form of ill because it is a wish to keep apart and not to  join. And thus it seems to give a cause to sickness which is not its

Tx:30.63 When brothers  join in purpose in the world of fear, they stand already at the edge

Tx:31.17  you are separate from him and are lost. But hear the other, and you  join with him, and in your answer is salvation found. The voice you

Tx:28.30 The miracle does nothing just because the minds are  joined and cannot separate. Yet in the dreaming has this been
Tx:28.30  the gap between you, where the sickness has been bred. Thus are you  joined in sickness, to preserve the little gap unhealed, where
Tx:28.32  joining cover it. Where is the gap between the waves when they have  joined and covered up the space which seemed to keep them separate

Tx:11.92  which the Son of God has set himself is foolish indeed, but the  journey on which his Father sets him is one of release and joy. The
Tx:11.95  companions who travel with you, you will realize that there is no  journey, but only an awakening. The Son of God, who sleepeth not, has
Tx:12.64  that you have found His company and learned of Him the joyful  journey home. You wait but for yourself. To give this sad world over

Tx:14.16 The  journey that we undertake together is the exchange of dark for light,
Tx:14.55  a light so powerful that what you see is given meaning. The lonely  journey fails because it has excluded what it would find.
Tx:16.40 Would you not go through fear to love? For such the  journey seems to be. Love calls, but hate would have you stay. Hear

Tx:19.110 You came this far because the  journey was your choice. And no one undertakes to do what he believes

Tx:26.43  no hindrance to the Will of God nor any need that you repeat again a  journey that was over long ago. Look gently on each other and behold

Tx:31.41  the world will lead within, when every road was made to separate the  journey from the purpose it must have unless it be but futile
Tx:31.42 There is no road that leads away from Him. A  journey from yourself does not exist. How foolish and insane it is to

W1:R5.9  I have forgotten no one. Help me now to lead you back to where the  journey was begun, to make another choice with me.
W1:I2.3 And so we start our  journey beyond words by concentrating first on what impedes our

Tx:7.107  Will for everyone, because He speaks for the Kingdom of God which is  joy. Following Him is therefore the easiest thing in the world and

Tx:8.16  perfectly, He wills to fulfill it perfectly, because that is His  joy and yours.

Tx:8.44  he had hurt him. Yet when he came home, the father welcomed him with  joy, because only the son himself was his father's treasure. He
Tx:8.45  God extended Himself to you. Can the creations of God Himself take  joy in what is not real? And what is real except the creations of God
Tx:8.46  then, can you accept anything else or give anything else and expect  joy in return? And what else but joy would you want? You made neither
Tx:8.46  or give anything else and expect joy in return? And what else but  joy would you want? You made neither yourself nor your function. You

Tx:8.47  creation from you, because His joy is in it. You cannot find  joy except as God does. His joy lay in creating you, and He extends
Tx:8.47  His joy is in it. You cannot find joy except as God does. His  joy lay in creating you, and He extends His Fatherhood to you so that
Tx:8.50  is. Through our creations, we extend our love and thus increase the  joy of the Holy Trinity. You do not understand this for a very simple
Tx:8.60  curriculum is never depressing, because it is a curriculum of  joy. Whenever the reaction to learning is depression, it is only
Tx:8.65  because only extension is the mind's function. The opposite of  joy is depression. When your learning promotes depression instead of
Tx:8.65  joy is depression. When your learning promotes depression instead of  joy, you cannot be listening to God's joyous Teacher, and you must be

Tx:8.67  Joy is unified purpose, and unified purpose is only God's. When yours

Tx:9.31  Him at all? If you inspire joy, and others react to you with  joy even though you are not experiencing joy yourself, there must be
Tx:9.31  others react to you with joy even though you are not experiencing  joy yourself, there must be something in you that is capable of
Tx:9.31  you that is capable of producing it. If it is in you and can produce  joy, and if you see that it does produce joy in others, you must be
Tx:9.31  is in you and can produce joy, and if you see that it does produce  joy in others, you must be dissociating it in yourself.
Tx:9.32 It seems to you that the Holy Spirit does not produce  joy consistently in you only because you do not consistently arouse
Tx:9.32  joy consistently in you only because you do not consistently arouse  joy in others. Their reactions to you are your evaluations of His
Tx:9.32  When you are inconsistent, you will not always give rise to  joy and so you will not always recognize His consistency. What you
Tx:9.38  chances, not because they will not return, but because delay of  joy is needless. God wills you perfect happiness now. Is it possible
Tx:9.55  is not obscure nor hidden, but its obviousness to you lies in the  joy you bring to its witnesses, who show it to you. They attest to
Tx:9.55  shared. God wants you to behold what He created, because it is His  joy.
Tx:9.69  reality brings more than merely lack of fear. In this decision lie  joy and peace and the glory of creation. Offer the Holy Spirit only
Tx:9.93 The rituals of the god of sickness are strange and very demanding.  Joy is never permitted, for depression is the sign of allegiance to
Tx:9.94  by the message you give to them. Do not attribute your denial of  joy to them, or you cannot see the spark in them that could bring joy
Tx:9.94  of joy to them, or you cannot see the spark in them that could bring  joy to you. It is the denial of the spark that brings depression, and
Tx:9.96  he made the god of depression. This was his alternative to  joy, because he would not accept the fact that, although he was a
Tx:9.103  anywhere else or in any other condition. Do not deny yourself the  joy which was created for you for the misery you have made for
Tx:10.4  need of you as I have. Will you not answer the call of love with  joy?
Tx:10.10  limit is God's Will for you because only this can bring you the  joy which is His and which He wills to share with you. Your love is
Tx:10.24  of Him. Oh, my children, if you knew what God wills for you, your  joy would be complete! And what He wills has happened, for it was
Tx:10.25  see such beauty that you will know it is not of you. Out of your  joy you will create beauty in His name, for your joy could no more be
Tx:10.25  of you. Out of your joy you will create beauty in His name, for your  joy could no more be contained than His. The bleak little world will
Tx:10.25  will vanish into nothingness, and your heart will be so filled with  joy that it will leap into Heaven and into the Presence of God. I
Tx:10.64  must compel your allegiance gladly because it is the symbol of  joy. Its whole compelling power lies in the fact that it represents
Tx:11.39  Holy Spirit offers you another promise, and one that will lead to  joy. For His promise is always, “Seek and you will find,” and under
Tx:11.92  but the journey on which his Father sets him is one of release and  joy. The Father is not cruel, and His Son cannot hurt himself. The

Tx:12.19  that you may accept the magnitude of your Father in peace and  joy. But exempt no one from your love, or you will be hiding a dark

Tx:12.68  it demands you lay all of the things it bids you get, leaving you no  joy in them.
Tx:12.74 Then follow Him in  joy, with faith that He will lead you safely through all dangers to
Tx:12.76  most holy Son, where it cannot abide. Healing in time is needed, for  joy cannot establish its eternal reign where sorrow dwells. You dwell

Tx:13.36  you have heard the hymn of freedom rising unto Heaven. Gladness and  joy belong to God for your release, because you made it not. Yet as
Tx:13.69  miracle teaches you that you have chosen guiltlessness, freedom, and  joy. It is not a cause, but an effect. It is the natural result of
Tx:13.70  dispelling darkness, he became afraid of darkness and of light. The  joy of learning that darkness has no power over the Son of God is the
Tx:13.70  the Holy Spirit teaches and would have you teach with Him. It is His  joy to teach it, as it will be yours.
Tx:13.91  Give up this frantic and insane attempt, which cheats you of the  joy of living with your God and Father, and awaking gladly to His
Tx:14.7 Blessed Son of a wholly blessing Father,  joy was created for you. Who can condemn whom God has blessed? There
Tx:14.12  Within its holy circle is everyone whom God created as His Son.  Joy is its unifying attribute, with no one left outside to suffer
Tx:14.41  of their Father's Love. There, fear of death will be replaced with  joy of living. For God is Life, and they abide in Life. [Life is as

Tx:18.20  will remain, not as a source of pain and guilt, but as a source of  joy and freedom. It will not be for you alone, for therein lay its
Tx:18.45  here. It will become the happy dream through which He can spread  joy to thousands on thousands who believe that love is fear, not
Tx:18.61  the barriers of time and space, the sudden experience of peace and  joy, and, above all, the lack of awareness of the body and of the

Tx:20.68  Would you not willingly be free of misery and learn again of  joy? Your holy relationship offers all this to you. As it was given

Tx:22.17  is the opposite of illusions because it offers joy. What else but  joy could be the opposite of misery? To leave one kind of misery and

Tx:24.13  limits? You have a function in salvation. Its pursuit will bring you  joy. But the pursuit of specialness must bring you pain. Here is a
Tx:24.25  your plan has failed and will forever fail to bring you peace and  joy of any kind? Through this despair you travel now, yet it is but
Tx:24.32  by a world of loveliness they do not see. Freedom and peace and  joy stand there beside the bier on which they sleep and call them to
Tx:24.40  that it is one with Him and with His Father. Specialness, too, takes  joy in what it sees, although it is not true. Yet what you seek for
Tx:24.40  sees, although it is not true. Yet what you seek for is a source of  joy as you conceive it. What you wish is true for you. Nor is it
Tx:24.43  in him and love to look upon, it saw in you and looks on still with  joy. Yet is it joy to look upon decay and madness and believe this
Tx:24.43  to look upon, it saw in you and looks on still with joy. Yet is it  joy to look upon decay and madness and believe this crumbling thing,
Tx:24.46  that these sights are yours to look upon with Him and share His  joy. His perfect lack of specialness He offers you that you may save
Tx:24.71  the travesty on God's creation. For as His Son's creation gave Him  joy and witness to His love and shared His purpose, so does the body
Tx:25.20  God cherishes creation as the perfect Father that He is. And so His  joy is made complete when any part of Him joins in His praise, to
Tx:25.20  made complete when any part of Him joins in His praise, to share His  joy. This brother is His perfect gift to you. And He is glad and
Tx:25.20  And all His thanks and gladness shine on you who would complete His  joy along with Him. And thus is yours completed. Not one ray of
Tx:25.28  will reinterpret all temptation as just another chance to bring him  joy. How can a misperception be a sin? Let all your brother's errors
Tx:25.32  that this is so, seeing their safety in this happy fact. Their  joy is in the innocence they see. And thus they seek for it because

Tx:25.33  same effects, believing them to be the bringers of rejoicing and of  joy. Even in Heaven does this law obtain. The Son of God creates to
Tx:25.33  in Heaven does this law obtain. The Son of God creates to bring him  joy, sharing his Father's purpose in his own creation that his joy
Tx:25.33  him joy, sharing his Father's purpose in his own creation that his  joy might be increased and God's along with his.
Tx:25.40  the only one he has in truth, you are depriving him of all the  joy he would have found if he fulfilled the role God gave to him. But
Tx:25.41  sinlessness will be when you perceive it! And how great will be your  joy, when he is free to offer you the gift of sight God gave to him
Tx:25.54  nothing is contradicted that would lead the Son of God to sanity and  joy. Nothing attests to death and cruelty, to separation, and to
Tx:25.59  you remember this and so emerge from deepest mourning into perfect  joy. Accept the function that has been assigned to you in God's Own
Tx:25.72  the gifts the innocent deserve. And every one that you accept brings  joy to Him as well as you. He knows that Heaven is richer made by
Tx:26.26  to see. Each flower shines in light, and every bird sings of the  joy of Heaven. There is no sadness, and there is no parting here, for
Tx:26.27  does every light of heaven come to be rekindled and increased in  joy. For here is what was lost restored to them and all their
Tx:26.29  withholds the wealth of Heaven from you! And how great will be the  joy in Heaven when you join the mighty chorus to the love of God!
Tx:26.53  Forgiveness is the only function here and serves to bring the  joy this world denies to every aspect of God's Son where sin was
Tx:26.80  one comes home. The incomplete is made complete again, and Heaven's  joy has been increased because what is its own has been restored to
Tx:27.39  which of them are true? Which ones establish peace and offer  joy? And which can bring escape from all the pain of which this world

Tx:28.54  made itself to be what it is not. It does not seek to make of pain a  joy and look for lasting pleasure in the dust. It does not tell you
Tx:29.14  His host can meet with Him. And nowhere else His gifts of peace and  joy and all the happiness His Presence brings can be obtained. For
Tx:29.27  for they are made of fear. The thin disguise of pleasure and of  joy in which they may be wrapped but slightly veils the heavy lump of
Tx:29.29  the function of the dream. And dreams of sadness thus are turned to  joy.
Tx:29.32  brings you nearer to your wakening to peace eternal and to endless  joy.
Tx:29.67  once a dream of judgment now has changed into a dream where all is  joy because that is the purpose which it has. Only forgiving dreams
Tx:30.32  but two to understand that they cannot decide alone to guarantee the  joy they asked for will be wholly shared. For they have understood
Tx:30.52  my children. Do not grieve for them. Their dancing never brought you  joy. But neither were they things to frighten you nor make you safe
Tx:30.65  content has not been bought at fearful price in coins of suffering?  Joy has no cost. It is your sacred right, and what you pay for is not
Tx:31.7  no plan for safety you can make that ever will succeed. There is no  joy that you can seek for here and hope to find. Yet this is not the
Tx:31.11  rather, to the deeper call beyond it that appeals for peace and  joy. And all the world will give you joy and peace. For as you hear,
Tx:31.11  it that appeals for peace and joy. And all the world will give you  joy and peace. For as you hear, you answer. And behold! Your answer

W1:20.2  mind is totally undisciplined, and you cannot distinguish between  joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, love and fear. You are now
W1:41.3  you wherever you go. You can never suffer because the Source of all  joy goes with you wherever you go. You can never be alone because the
W1:55.4  return to my awareness, I will see a world of peace and safety and  joy. It is this I choose to see in place of what I look on now.
W1:58.3  me alone. Everyone and everything I see in its light shares in the  joy it brings to me. There is nothing that is apart from this joy
W1:58.3  in the joy it brings to me. There is nothing that is apart from this  joy because there is nothing that does not share my holiness. As I
W1:59.2  He rests in me in absolute peace? How can I suffer when love and  joy surround me through Him? Let me not cherish illusions about
W1:71.9  and anger. But God's plan will succeed. It will lead to release and  joy.
W1:74.11  detected. If you are succeeding, you will feel a deep sense of  joy and an increased alertness rather than a feeling of drowsiness
W1:74.11  alertness rather than a feeling of drowsiness and enervation.  Joy characterizes peace. By this experience will you recognize that
W1:76.11  you more. About the love your Father has for you. About the endless  joy He offers you. About His yearning for His only Son, created as
W1:82.5  And unless I fulfill my function, I will not experience the  joy that God intends for me.
W1:93.4  you are as pure and holy as you were created, and that light and  joy and peace abide in you? Your image of yourself cannot withstand
W1:93.6  is meaningless. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God, and light and  joy and peace abide in you.
W1:93.7  You are and will forever be exactly as you were created. Light and  joy and peace abide in you because God put them there.
W1:93.9 Light and  joy and peace abide in me. My sinlessness is guaranteed by God.
W1:93.11  Let it come into its own. Here you are. This is you. And light and  joy and peace abide in you because this is so.
W1:93.13 Light and  joy and peace abide in me. My sinlessness is guaranteed by God.
W1:93.16 Light and  joy and peace abide in you. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God.
W1:95.16  the words convey. You are One Self, united and secure in light and  joy and peace. You are God's Son, One Self with one Creator and one
W1:96.5  And the mind which serves the Spirit is at peace and filled with  joy. Its power comes from Spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its
W1:96.16  remains uncertain yet a little while. Be not dismayed by this. The  joy your Self experiences it will save for you, and it will yet be
W1:97.2  Spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father's love and peace and  joy. You are the Spirit which completes Himself and shares His
W1:98.6  offer guaranteeing you your full release from pain of every kind and  joy the world does not contain. You can exchange a little of your
W1:98.11  His answer to your words. He will respond with all His faith and  joy and certainty that what you say is true. And you will have
W1:100.2  This part is as essential to His plan as to your happiness. Your  joy must be complete to let His plan be understood by those to whom
W1:100.3 You are indeed essential to God's plan. Without your  joy, His joy is incomplete. Without your smile, the world cannot be
W1:100.3 You are indeed essential to God's plan. Without your joy, His  joy is incomplete. Without your smile, the world cannot be saved.
W1:100.4  as your light increases every light that shines in Heaven, so your  joy on earth calls to all minds to let their sorrows go and take
W1:100.4  beside you in God's plan. God's messengers are joyous, and their  joy heals sorrow and despair. They are the proof that God wills
W1:100.6 Today we will attempt to understand  joy is our function here. If you are sad, your part is unfulfilled
W1:100.6  sad, your part is unfulfilled and all the world is thus deprived of  joy along with you. God asks that you be happy so the world can see
W1:100.6  see how much He loves His Son and wills no sorrow rises to abate his  joy; no fear besets him to disturb his peace.
W1:100.9 Now let us try to find that  joy which proves to us and all the world God's Will for us. It is
W1:101.6  happiness because there is no sin, and suffering is causeless.  Joy is just, and pain is but the sign you have misunderstood yourself.
W1:101.9  you start your practice periods, and then attempt again to find the  joy these thoughts will introduce into your mind. Give these five
W1:103.1  love is not. Love has no limits, being everywhere. And therefore  joy is everywhere as well. Yet can the mind deny that this is so,
W1:103.1  there are gaps in love where sin can enter, bringing pain instead of  joy.
W1:103.2  bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting being Love, He must be  joy.
W1:103.4 God, being Love, is also happiness. To fear Him is to be afraid of  joy.
W1:103.6  welcome all the happiness it brings, as truth replaces fear, and  joy becomes what you expect to take the place of pain. God being
W1:104.1 Today's idea continues with the thought that  joy and peace are not but idle dreams. They are your right because of
W1:104.5 I seek but what belongs to me in truth, and  joy and peace are my inheritance.
W1:104.7  within our minds before His altar, where His gifts of peace and  joy are welcome and to which we come to find what has been given us
W1:104.8  today by simply recognizing that His Will is done already and that  joy and peace belong to us as His eternal gifts. We will not let
W1:104.9 I seek but what belongs to me in truth. God's gifts of  joy and peace are all I want.
W1:105.1 God's peace and  joy are yours. Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to us.
W1:105.4 Accept God's peace and  joy, and you will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's
W1:105.4  are given away. They but increase thereby. As Heaven's peace and  joy intensify when you accept them as God's gift to you, so does the
W1:105.4  joy intensify when you accept them as God's gift to you, so does the  joy of your Creator grow when you accept His joy and peace as yours.
W1:105.4  to you, so does the joy of your Creator grow when you accept His  joy and peace as yours.
W1:105.6 Today accept God's peace and  joy as yours. Let Him complete Himself as He defines completion. You
W1:105.6  He cannot give through loss. No more can you. Receive His gift of  joy and peace today, and He will thank you for your gift to Him.
W1:105.7  thinking of those brothers who have been denied by you the peace and  joy that are their right under the equal laws of God. Here you denied
W1:105.8 My brother, peace and  joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and joy as mine.
W1:105.8  brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and  joy as mine.
W1:105.9  success today. Now are you ready to accept the gift of peace and  joy which God has given you. Now are you ready to experience the joy
W1:105.9  and joy which God has given you. Now are you ready to experience the  joy and peace you have denied yourself. Now you can say, “God's peace
W1:105.9  peace you have denied yourself. Now you can say, “God's peace and  joy are mine,” for you have given what you would receive.
W1:105.10  your mind as we suggest, for you have let all bars to peace and  joy be lifted up, and what is yours can come to you at last. So tell
W1:105.10  is yours can come to you at last. So tell yourself “God's peace and  joy are mine,” and close your eyes a while, and let His Voice assure
W1:105.13 My brother, peace and  joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and joy as mine.
W1:105.13  brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and  joy as mine.

W1:112.2 [93] Light and  joy and peace abide in me. I am the home of light and joy and peace.
W1:112.2 [93] Light and joy and peace abide in me. I am the home of light and  joy and peace. I welcome them into the home I share with God, because
W1:112.5 Light and  joy and peace abide in me.
W1:117.2  happiness. Let me remember love is happiness and nothing else brings  joy. And so I choose to entertain no substitutes for love.
W1:117.3  but what belongs to me in truth. Love is my heritage and with it  joy. These are the gifts my Father gave to me. I would accept all
W1:118.2 [105] God's peace and  joy are mine. Today I will accept God's peace and joy in glad
W1:118.2  God's peace and joy are mine. Today I will accept God's peace and  joy in glad exchange for all the substitutes which I have made for
W1:118.5 God's peace and  joy are mine.
W1:122.2  you, and more. It sparkles in your eyes as you awake and gives you  joy with which to meet the day. It soothes your forehead while you
W1:122.11  it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers and the  joy the lifting of the veil holds out to you.
W1:124.11  that His return will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a  joy too deep for you to comprehend, a sight too holy for the body's
W1:128.1  you can use in any way, nor anything at all that serves to give you  joy. Believe this thought, and you are saved from years of misery,
W1:128.6  it belongs. But free its wings, and it will fly in sureness and in  joy to join its holy purpose. Let it rest in its Creator, there to be
W1:129.1  but on exchanging it for what is far more satisfying, filled with  joy, and capable of offering you peace. Think you this world can
W1:135.20  promises a future undisturbed, without a trace of sorrow and with  joy which constantly increases as this life becomes a holy instant,
W1:135.21  yours, and it will be increased until the world is lighted up with  joy. And gladly will our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses
W1:135.26  at not receiving what you will receive today. And in the light and  joy of simple truth, you will but wonder why you ever thought that
W1:137.13  carry healing to the world, exchanging curse for blessing, pain for  joy, and separation for the peace of God. Is not a minute of the hour
W1:140.14  the answer to our prayer be given us as we attend in silence and in  joy. This is the day when healing comes to us. This is the day when
W1:R4.12  restored the world from darkness to the light, from grief to  joy, from pain to peace, from sin to holiness. God offers thanks to
W1:152.2  everything, can loss be real? Can pain be part of peace, or grief of  joy? Can fear and sickness enter in a mind where love and perfect
W1:153.8  the world, and we would not exchange for foolishness the endless  joy our function offers us. We would not let our happiness slip by
W1:153.15  with God. Nor will we willingly give less at night in gratitude and  joy.
W1:157.1  days and nights in celebrating death. Today you learn to feel the  joy of life.
W1:157.4  light your mind and let it rest in still anticipation and in quiet  joy wherein you quickly leave the world behind.
W1:162.5  like this has blessed the world? Who could despair when perfect  joy is yours, available to all as remedy for grief and misery, all
W1:164.7  blindness and from misery. All that we see will but increase our  joy because its holiness reflects our own. We stand forgiven in the
W1:164.9  world. But this you surely want—you can exchange all suffering for  joy this very day. Practice in earnest, and the gift is yours. Would

W1:197.5  forever giving out, extending love, and adding to your never-ending  joy, while you forgive but to attack again.
W1:198.6  words will save. His words contain all hope, all blessing and all  joy that ever can be found upon this earth. His words are born in
W1:199.7  this gift to Him. For He would give you perfect freedom, perfect  joy, and hope that finds its full accomplishment in God.
W1:199.8  Son will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of  joy your practice brings even to it. And God Himself extends His Love
W1:200.2  of being saved by what can only hurt, of making peace of chaos,  joy of pain, and Heaven out of hell. Attempt no more to win through

W2:249.1  What loss can be sustained? The world becomes a place of  joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving. It is now so like to

Tx:4.64  any beliefs that hinder its accomplishment, and step away from them.  Judge how well you have done this by your own feelings, for this is
Tx:4.64  Without your own allegiance, protection, and love, it cannot exist.  Judge your ego truly, and you must withdraw allegiance, protection,
Tx:4.69  gave rise to it and which it serves. Sane judgment would inevitably  judge against the ego and must be obliterated by the ego in the
Tx:4.100  ego with which to accept such thanks and no perception with which to  judge such offerings. But unless you take your part in the creation,

Tx:9.78  calmly at the logical conclusion of the ego's thought system and  judge whether its offering is really what you want, for this is what
Tx:9.86  to have it. To know reality must involve the willingness to  judge unreality for what it is. This is the right use of selective
Tx:9.86  use of selective perception. To overlook nothingness is merely to  judge it correctly, and because of your ability to evaluate it truly,

Tx:11.90  and God's Son is without guilt. As you look upon yourselves and  judge what you do honestly, as you have been asked to do, you may be
Tx:11.93  God's Son will always be as he was created. Deny your world and  judge him not, for his eternal guiltlessness is in the mind of his
Tx:12.46  to use your past experience as the reference point from which to  judge the present. Yet this is unnatural because it is delusional.
Tx:12.63  is false. And what he judges false he does not see. You who would  judge reality cannot see it, for whenever judgment enters, reality

Tx:15.53  thus removing the frame of reference you have built by which to  judge your brothers. Once this is gone, the Holy Spirit substitutes
Tx:15.55 Think you that you can  judge the Self of God? God has created it beyond judgment out of His
Tx:15.69  at the relationships which the ego contrives and let the Holy Spirit  judge them truly. For it is certain that, if you will look at them,

Tx:2.108  concept in total opposition to right-mindedness. The aim of the Last  Judgment is to restore right-mindedness to man.
Tx:2.109 The Last  Judgment might be called a process of right evaluation. It simply
Tx:2.110  of upside-down perception. Actually, if the meaning of the Last  Judgment is objectively examined, it is quite apparent that it is
Tx:2.111 No one who lives in fear is really alive. His own last  judgment cannot be directed toward himself because he is not his own
Tx:2.111  The purpose of time is solely to “give him time” to achieve this  judgment. It is his own perfect judgment of his own creations. When

Tx:3.61  the Last Judgment in some though insufficient detail. After the Last  Judgment there will be no more. This is symbolic only in the sense
Tx:3.61  symbolic only in the sense that everyone is much better off without  judgment. When the Bible says, “Judge not that ye be not judged” it
Tx:3.61  to judge rather than to know was the cause of the loss of peace.  Judgment is the process on which perception, but not cognition,
Tx:3.62  Judgment always involves rejection. It is not an ability which

Tx:3.65  you are very capable of wearying yourselves. The strain of constant  judgment is virtually intolerable. It is a curious thing that any

Tx:3.66  You will also use the term with considerable fear, believing that  judgment will someday be used against you. To whatever extent it is

Tx:3.71  position would be quite apparent. Free will must lead to freedom.  Judgment always imprisons because it separates segments of reality
Tx:4.36  that wrong-mindedness is obliterated. The ego cannot survive without  judgment and is laid aside accordingly. The mind then has only one
Tx:4.64  done this by your own feelings, for this is the one right use of  judgment. Judgment, like any other defense, can be used to attack or
Tx:4.64  by your own feelings, for this is the one right use of judgment.  Judgment, like any other defense, can be used to attack or protect,
Tx:4.64  or protect, to hurt or to heal. The ego should be brought to your  judgment and found wanting there. Without your own allegiance,
Tx:4.66  preparations were made. I am in charge of the second coming, and my  judgment, which is used only for protection, cannot be wrong because
Tx:4.69  work together for good. There are no exceptions except in the ego's  judgment. Control is a central factor in what the ego permits into
Tx:4.69  motivation unconscious and raising control rather than sensible  judgment to predominance. The ego has every reason to do this
Tx:4.69  the thought system which gave rise to it and which it serves. Sane  judgment would inevitably judge against the ego and must be
Tx:4.81  it. The whole value of right perception lies in the inevitable  judgment which it entails that it is unnecessary. This removes the

Tx:4.97  that its quality is universal in application and not subject to any  judgment, any exception, or any alteration. God created you by this
Tx:5.58  to hold it and the hands are strong to give it. We cannot lose. My  judgment is as strong as the wisdom of God, in Whose heart and hands
Tx:5.66  it every minute and every second, and each moment of decision is a  judgment which is anything but ineffectual. Its effects will follow
Tx:5.74 The ego speaks in  judgment and the Holy Spirit reverses its decisions, much as the
Tx:5.74  The Bible is a fearful thing to the ego because of its prejudiced  judgment. Perceiving it as fearful, it interprets it fearfully.
Tx:5.74  you do not appeal to the Higher Court, because you believe its  judgment would be against you.
Tx:5.76  believe to be worth cultivating you will cultivate in yourself. Your  judgment of what is worthy makes it worthy for you. “Vengeance is

Tx:6.15  as I learned, is that no perception which is out of accord with the  judgment of the Holy Spirit can be justified. I undertook to show
Tx:6.74  acceptable to it, would obviously be that it is insane. The ego's  judgment, then, is predetermined by what it is, though no more so

Tx:8.74  to fulfill. The ego as a judge gives anything but an impartial  judgment. When the ego calls on a witness, it has already made the
Tx:8.115  for what you do not value. There is a price you will pay for  judgment because judgment is the setting of a price. And as you set
Tx:8.115  you do not value. There is a price you will pay for judgment because  judgment is the setting of a price. And as you set it, you will pay
Tx:8.116  that [to price is to value, so] your return is in proportion to your  judgment of worth. If paying is associated with giving, it cannot be

Tx:12.49  the present, you will not see the freedom that the present holds.  Judgment and condemnation are behind you, and unless you bring them

Tx:14.51  still bound to judgment can be asked to do that which requires no  judgment of your own. The answer is very simple. The power of God,
Tx:14.52 The only  judgment involved at all is the Holy Spirit's one division into two
Tx:15.45  for teaching you love's meaning. For its purpose is to suspend  judgment entirely. Judgment always rests on the past, for past
Tx:15.45  you love's meaning. For its purpose is to suspend judgment entirely.  Judgment always rests on the past, for past experience is the basis
Tx:15.45  on the past, for past experience is the basis on which you judge.  Judgment becomes impossible without the past, for without it you do
Tx:15.55  you that you can judge the Self of God? God has created it beyond  judgment out of His need to extend His Love. With love in you, you
Tx:17.59  what it must have meant. And you will be wrong. Not only is your  judgment in the past, but you have no idea what should happen. No
Tx:17.59  goal was set with which to bring the means in line. And now the only  judgment left to make is whether or not the ego likes it—is it
Tx:18.26  You go toward love, still hating it and terribly afraid of its  judgment upon you. And you do not realize that you are not afraid of
Tx:19.22  As truth it is inviolate, and everything is brought to it for  judgment. As a mistake, it must be brought to truth. It is impossible
Tx:19.88  the holy Presence of the One given to you to be the Source of  judgment. Give it to Him to judge for you, and say:
Tx:20.7  upon your brother and on yourself. Here is your gift to both; your  judgment on the Son of God for what he is. Forget not that it is your
Tx:20.20  how it would look through happy eyes? The world you see is but a  judgment on yourself. It is not there at all. Yet judgment lays a
Tx:20.20  you see is but a judgment on yourself. It is not there at all. Yet  judgment lays a sentence on it, justifies it, and makes it real. Such
Tx:20.20  it, justifies it, and makes it real. Such is the world you see—a  judgment on yourself and made by you. This sickly picture of yourself
Tx:20.21  you?” And He Who watches over all perception answered. Take not the  judgment of the world as answer to the question, “What am I?”
Tx:20.24 Does one ask  judgment of what is totally bereft of judgment? And if you have,
Tx:20.24 Does one ask judgment of what is totally bereft of  judgment? And if you have, would you believe the answer and adjust to
Tx:20.39  from the meaningless attempt to judge what lies so far beyond your  judgment you cannot even see it? Judge not what is invisible to you
Tx:20.40  judge him, for who would see the face of Christ and yet insist that  judgment still has meaning? For this insistence is of those who do
Tx:20.40  meaning? For this insistence is of those who do not see. Vision or  judgment is your choice, but never both of these.
Tx:20.62  always secondary to desire. And if you see the body, you have chosen  judgment and not vision. For vision, like relationships, has no
Tx:20.63 Who sees a brother's body has laid a  judgment on him and sees him not. He does not really see him as
Tx:20.64  the intention. The means seem real because the goal is valued. And  judgment has no value unless the goal is sin.
Tx:20.65 The body cannot be looked upon except through  judgment. To see the body is the sign that you lack vision and have
Tx:20.65  a holy relationship achieve its purpose through the means of sin?  Judgment you taught yourself; vision is learned from Him Who would
Tx:20.67  return. It has been saved for you. Vision would not be necessary had  judgment not been made. Desire now its whole undoing, and it is done
Tx:20.71  the pitifully little the perfect choice to call upon for strength?  Judgment will seem to make your savior weak. Yet it is you who need
Tx:20.73  Judgment is but a toy, a whim, the senseless means to play the idle
Tx:21.2 Damnation is your  judgment on yourself, and this you will project upon the world. See
Tx:21.4  where safety lies and which way leads to darkness, which to light.  Judgment will always give you false directions, but vision shows you
Tx:21.5  because you still remain uncertain that vision gives you more than  judgment does, and you have learned that both you cannot have.
Tx:21.13  it is obscure, but rather that this little cost seemed in your  judgment to be too much to pay for peace.
Tx:21.23  but of recognition. For recognition comes of vision and suspended  judgment. Then only is it possible to look within and see what must
Tx:21.23  be there plainly in sight and wholly independent of inference and  judgment. Undoing is not your task, but it is up to you to welcome it
Tx:23.35  himself? How can it matter what the form this madness takes? It is a  judgment that defeats itself, condemning what it says it wants to
Tx:24.6  in the universe unlike itself. But what is different calls for  judgment, and this must come from someone “better,” someone incapable
Tx:24.10  does not change with every seeming blow, each slight, or fancied  judgment on itself?
Tx:24.53  release you both, for holiness is quite impartial, with one  judgment made for all it looks upon. And that is made, not of itself,
Tx:24.56  stands beside you. He is the mirror of yourself wherein you see the  judgment you have laid on both of you. The Christ in you beholds his
Tx:24.61  body than his holiness, be sure you understand what made this  judgment. Here is the voice of specialness heard clearly, judging
Tx:24.61  that you can attain and what you cannot do. Forget not that this  judgment must apply to what you do with it as your ally. For what you
Tx:24.61  ally. For what you do through Christ it does not know. To Him this  judgment makes no sense at all, for only what His Father wills is
Tx:25.42  and you will walk the way you pointed out to him because it is your  judgment on yourself.
Tx:25.71  love perceived as weak and vengeance strong. For love has lost when  judgment left its side and is too weak to save from punishment. But
Tx:26.13  pause to judge whether the hurt be large or little. He makes but one  judgment—that to hurt God's Son must be unfair and therefore is not
Tx:26.21  will ever make, the last evaluation that will be possible, the final  judgment upon this world. It is the judgment of the truth upon
Tx:26.21  that will be possible, the final judgment upon this world. It is the  judgment of the truth upon illusion, of knowledge on perception—it
Tx:26.35 Yet in each unforgiving act or thought, in every  judgment, and in all belief in sin, is that one instant still called
Tx:27.85  while. You judge effects, but He has judged their cause. And by His  judgment are effects removed. Perhaps you come in tears, but hear Him
Tx:28.10 You who have sought to lay a  judgment on your own Creator cannot understand it is not He Who laid
Tx:28.10  on your own Creator cannot understand it is not He Who laid a  judgment on His Son. You would deny Him His effects, yet have they
Tx:29.61  be not the truth that you believe that it is not a dream. A dream of  judgment came into the mind that God created perfect as Himself. And
Tx:29.62 How can God's Son awaken from the dream? It is a dream of  judgment. So must he judge not, and he will waken. For the dream will
Tx:29.62  not, for he who judges will have need of idols which will hold the  judgment off from resting on himself. Nor can he know the Self he has
Tx:29.62  where idols are your “true” identity and your salvation from the  judgment laid in terror and in guilt upon yourself.
Tx:29.63  worship of despair and terror and the dream from which they come.  Judgment is an injustice to God's Son, and it is justice that who
Tx:29.63  he made. God knows of justice, not of penalty. But in the dream of  judgment, you attack and are condemned and wish to be the slave of
Tx:29.63  and wish to be the slave of idols which are interposed between your  judgment and the penalty it brings.
Tx:29.66  Put them all away, for you have need of them no more. The dream of  judgment is a children's game in which the child becomes the father,
Tx:29.67  childish things have all been put away. And what was once a dream of  judgment now has changed into a dream where all is joy because that
Tx:29.67  forms which enter in the dream are now perceived as brothers, not in  judgment but in love.
Tx:29.68  he knows he never heard it not. And where is time, when dreams of  judgment have been put away?
Tx:29.69  sense of doom. Your self-betrayal must result in fear, for fear is  judgment, leading surely to the frantic search for idols and for
Tx:29.70  the dreamer full release from dreams of fear. He does not fear his  judgment, for he has judged no one, nor has sought to be released
Tx:29.70  for he has judged no one, nor has sought to be released through  judgment from what judgment must impose. And all the while he is
Tx:29.70  no one, nor has sought to be released through judgment from what  judgment must impose. And all the while he is remembering what he
Tx:29.70  must impose. And all the while he is remembering what he forgot when  judgment seemed to be the way to save him from its penalty.
Tx:30.1  is attempted. And together will these steps lead you from dreams of  judgment to forgiving dreams and out of pain and fear. They are not
Tx:30.28  the ravages of fear. When this has been achieved, the sorry dream of  judgment has forever been undone. But meanwhile, you have need for

Tx:30.73  much as his. Nor will you think that God intends for you a fearful  judgment which your brother does not merit. For it is the truth that
Tx:30.84  flux and make allowance for stability of meaning anywhere. Fear is a  judgment never justified. Its presence has no meaning but to show you
Tx:30.86 Escape from  judgment simply lies in this—all things have but one purpose which

Tx:31.76  which holds him off from you and you away from him. The sword of  judgment is the weapon which you give to the illusion of yourself
Tx:31.80  vision is as innocent of what your brother is as it is free of any  judgment made upon yourself. It sees no past in anyone at all. And

M:11.3  possible—God has sent His Judgment to answer yours. Gently His  Judgment substitutes for yours. And through this substitution is the
M:11.3  made understandable. How is peace possible in this world? In your  judgment it is not possible and can never be possible. But in the
M:11.3  judgment it is not possible and can never be possible. But in the  Judgment of God, what is reflected here is only peace.
M:11.4  is inevitable to those who offer peace. How easily, then, is your  judgment of the world escaped! It is not the world that makes peace
M:11.4  It is the world you see that is impossible. Yet has God's  Judgment on this distorted world redeemed it and made it fit to

M:15.1  near, and silence lies across the world that everyone may hear this  judgment of the Son of God:
M:15.3 Is this your  judgment on yourself, teacher of God? Do you believe that this is
M:15.3  you are here. It is your function to prepare yourself to hear this  judgment and to recognize that it is true. One instant of complete

M:15.3  of God? Have you yet learned to stand aside and hear the Voice of  Judgment in yourself? Or do you still attempt to take His role from
M:15.3  Him? Learn to be quiet, for His Voice is heard in stillness. And His  Judgment comes to all who stand aside in quiet listening and wait for
M:15.4  and meaningless to occupy your holy minds an instant longer. God's  judgment waits for you to set you free. What can the world hold out
M:15.4  are sure. Only remember that. His promises have guaranteed that His  judgment, and His alone, will be accepted in the end. It is your

Tx:24.20 You have come far along the way of truth—too far to falter now.  Just one step more and every vestige of the fear of God will melt

Tx:25.66  learn the answer. Justice looks on all in the same way. It is not  just that one should lack for what another has. For that is vengeance
Tx:25.67 Vengeance is alien to God's Mind because He knows of justice. To be  just is to be fair and not be vengeful. Fairness and vengeance are
Tx:25.67  a mind that can conceive of specialness at all. Yet how could He be  just if He condemns a sinner for the crimes he did not do but thinks
Tx:25.74  looks on innocence at last, provided it is seen and recognized. For  just one witness is enough if he sees truly. Simple justice asks no
Tx:25.76 Without impartiality there is no justice. How can specialness be  just? Judge not because you cannot, not because you are a miserable
Tx:25.77  replace God's justice with a version of its own. For only love is  just and can perceive what justice must accord the Son of God. Let
Tx:25.85  receive it not. Only forgiveness offers miracles. And pardon must be  just to everyone.
Tx:26.1  is itself a sacrifice—a giving up of power in the name of saving  just a little for yourself. To see a brother in another body separate
Tx:26.3  little to belong to you are limits placed on everything outside,  just as they are on everything you think is yours. For giving and
Tx:26.10  Every problem is the same to Him, because each one is solved in  just the same respect and through the same approach. The aspects
Tx:26.15 If God is  just, then can there be no problems that justice cannot solve. But
Tx:26.16  For all of them are little in His sight and worth no more than  just a tiny sigh before they disappear, to be forever undone and
Tx:26.19  the truth where they are judged to be untrue. This borderland is  just beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every thought made pure and
Tx:26.22 Salvation stops  just short of Heaven, for only perception needs salvation. Heaven was
Tx:26.44  hurt you and will do so. Not because it has the power to hurt, but  just because you have denied it is but an illusion and made it real.
Tx:26.61  is his, unlimited by loss of any kind. A tiny sacrifice is  just the same in its effects as is the whole idea of sacrifice. If

Tx:26.85  you perceive it as unfair, you think that a response of anger now is  just. And thus you see what is the same as different. Confusion is
Tx:26.87  is at the root of everything perceived to be unfair and not your  just deserts. Yet it is you who ask this of yourself in deep
Tx:27.16  sins have no effect to warrant guilt? Sins are beyond forgiveness  just because they would entail effects which cannot be undone and
Tx:27.19 How  just are miracles! For they bestow an equal gift of full deliverance
Tx:27.37  to attempt to solve a problem where the answer cannot be. Yet  just as surely it must be resolved if it is brought to where the
Tx:27.40  is all questioning within the world a form of propaganda for itself.  Just as the body's witnesses are but the senses from within itself,

W1:28.4  exclusive commitment. It is a commitment which applies to the table  just as much as to anything else, neither more nor less.
W1:28.5 You could, in fact, gain vision from  just that table if you could withdraw all your own ideas from it and
W1:39.10  also find it helpful to include a few short intervals in which you  just relax and do not seem to be thinking of anything. Sustained
W1:44.4  is the most natural and easy one in the world for the trained mind,  just as it seems to be the most unnatural and difficult for the
W1:45.1  your real thoughts are. They are nothing that you think you think,  just as nothing that you think you see is related to vision in any
W1:64.6  that any decision on earth can have a content different from  just this one simple choice. That is the only choice the Holy Spirit
W1:66.1  because you do not really see the connection. Yet there is more than  just a connection between them; they are the same. Their forms are
W1:68.2 Perhaps you do not yet fully realize  just what holding grievances does to your awareness. It seems to
W1:70.4  of healing where the need for healing lies. You have tried to do  just the opposite, making every attempt, however distorted and
W1:71.1  This sounds preposterous, of course. Yet after we have considered  just what the ego's plan is, perhaps you will realize that, however
W1:79.5  are inevitable as you regard them. Some spring up unexpectedly,  just as you think you have resolved the previous ones. Others remain
W1:100.1  Just as God's Son completes his Father, so your part in it completes
W1:100.4 You are indeed essential to God's plan.  Just as your light increases every light that shines in Heaven, so
W1:101.1  real and that God's Son can sin. If sin is real, then punishment is  just and cannot be escaped. Salvation thus cannot be purchased but
W1:101.3  salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but wholly  just.
W1:101.6  because there is no sin, and suffering is causeless. Joy is  just, and pain is but the sign you have misunderstood yourself.
W1:107.3  another hundred more. And now you have a hint, not more than  just the faintest intimation of the state your mind will rest in when

W1:R3.10  and the other one a half an hour later. You need not give more than  just a moment to each one.

W1:128.7  at it before. Your whole perspective on the world will shift by  just a little every time you let your mind escape its chains. The
W1:130.6  as its opposite. What we would learn today is more than  just the lesson that you cannot see two worlds. It also teaches that
W1:133.6  is no compromise in what your choice must bring. It cannot give you  just a little, for there is no in-between. Each choice you make
W1:133.13  or not worth the slightest effort to obtain. Choosing is easy  just because of this. Complexity is nothing but a screen of smoke
W1:136.16  will come, for it has never been apart from us. It merely waits for  just this invitation which we give today. We introduce it with a
W1:137.5  the dream of sickness in the name of truth but not in truth itself.  Just as forgiveness overlooks all sins that never were accomplished,
W1:137.5  accomplished, healing but removes illusions that have not occurred.  Just as the real world will arise to take the place of what has never
W1:137.7  Just as forgiveness shines away all sin and the real world will

W1:151.4  prove how weak you are, how helpless and afraid, how apprehensive of  just punishment, how black with sin, how wretched in your guilt.
W1:156.7 Yet you have wasted many, many years on  just this foolish thought. The past is gone with all its fantasies.
W1:168.3  sweeps away the cobwebs of our sleep. His gift of grace is more than  just an answer. It restores all memories the sleeping mind forgot;
W1:170.7  who are unreasonable and insane, while they are always merciful and  just.
W1:181.3  We instruct our minds that it is this we seek and only this, for  just a little while. We do not care about our future goals, and what

W1:182.5  house. You are His home as well. He will return. But give Him  just a little time to be Himself within the peace that is His home,
W1:185.1  to mean these words is everything. If you could but mean them for  just an instant, there would be no further sorrow possible for you in
W1:185.9  dreams will come as you requested them. Yet will God's peace come  just as certainly and to remain with you forever. It will not be gone
W1:193.14  attempt today to overcome a thousand seeming obstacles to peace in  just one day. Let mercy come to you more quickly. Do not try to hold
W1:194.1  So great the distance is that it encompasses, it sets you down  just short of Heaven, with the goal in sight and obstacles behind.
W1:196.4  And what would seem to need a thousand years can easily be done in  just one instant by the grace of God.
W2:272.2  Sons of God, could be content with dreams when Heaven can be chosen  just as easily as hell and love will happily replace all fear.
W2:WIHS.2 The goal the Holy Spirit's teaching sets is  just this end of dreams. For sights and sounds must be translated

Tx:7.85  of something you do not want by giving it away. Giving it is how you  keep it. The belief that by giving it out you have excluded it from
Tx:7.88  for your own errors. But having accepted the errors as yours, do not  keep them. Give them over quickly to the Holy Spirit to be undone
Tx:7.89  it was always a belief that is totally incredible. No one can  keep a belief he has judged to be unbelievable. The more you learn
Tx:7.109  of God? Does it protect his peace and shine love upon him? Does it  keep his heart untouched by fear and allow him to give always without

Tx:9.78  your brothers and thus lose sight of yours. And you are willing to  keep it hidden and to protect this idol, which you think will save
Tx:9.88 God's laws will  keep your minds at peace, because peace is His Will, and His laws are
Tx:9.95  But consider what this means to you. Unless you are sick, you cannot  keep the gods you made, for only in sickness could you possibly want

Tx:11.36  the one promise the ego holds out to you and the one promise it will  keep. For the ego pursues its goal with fanatic insistence, and its

Tx:11.81  God cannot shine in a mind which has made it invisible and wants to  keep it so. For the memory of God can dawn only in a mind that wills
Tx:12.1  you, could the ego possibly induce you to project guilt and thereby  keep it in your mind.
Tx:12.10  you. You are not seriously disturbed by your hostility. You  keep it hidden because you are more afraid of what it covers.
Tx:12.16 The reason you must look upon your delusions and not  keep them hidden is that they do not rest on their own foundation. In
Tx:12.31  no gap in its own continuity can occur. Its continuity, then, would  keep you in time, while the Holy Spirit would release you from it. It

Tx:13.20  service of displacement is to hide the real source of your guilt and  keep from your awareness the full perception that it is insane.
Tx:13.26 The Holy Spirit does not  keep illusions in your mind to frighten you and show them to you
Tx:13.28  your Father is as pure as He Who raised it to Himself. Nothing can  keep from you what Christ would have you see. His Will is like His
Tx:13.41  it will be sufficient: God wills you be in Heaven, and nothing can  keep you from it or it from you. Your wildest misperceptions, your
Tx:13.41  of God. If that suffices Him, it is enough for you. You will not  keep what God would have removed, because it breaks communication
Tx:13.84 He leadeth me and knows the way, which I know not. Yet He will never  keep from me what He would have me learn. And so I trust Him to
Tx:14.8  Protect his purity from every thought that would steal it away and  keep it from his sight. Bring innocence to light in answer to the
Tx:14.18  darkness and of ignorance, look to them only for fear, for what they  keep obscure is fearful. But let them go, and what was fearful will
Tx:14.19  truth of one must make the falsity of its opposite perfectly clear.  Keep not guilt and guiltlessness apart, for your belief that you can
Tx:14.23  whatever interferes with it in order to restore it. Therefore,  keep no source of interference from His sight, for He will not attack
Tx:14.27  if one is kept in darkness from the other, their separation seems to  keep them both alive and equal in their reality. Their joining thus
Tx:14.38  and illusion, of the ego to God, is the Holy Spirit's only function.  Keep not your making from your Father, for hiding it has cost you
Tx:14.58  Knowledge is power, and all power is of God. You who have tried to  keep power for yourselves have lost it. You still have the power, but
Tx:14.59  What have you taught yourselves that you can possibly prefer to  keep in place of what you have and what you are?
Tx:15.4  before, but never so clearly as here. For the ego must seem to  keep fear from you to keep your allegiance. Yet it must engender fear
Tx:15.4  so clearly as here. For the ego must seem to keep fear from you to  keep your allegiance. Yet it must engender fear in order to maintain
Tx:15.41  can you do this when you would prefer to have private thoughts and  keep them? The only way you could do that is to deny the perfect
Tx:15.41  thoughts, known only to yourself, you think you find a way to  keep what you would have alone and share what you would share. And
Tx:15.42 Every thought you would  keep hidden shuts communication off because you would have it so. It
Tx:15.43  are not pure. But it does require that you have none that you would  keep. Innocence is not of your making. It is given you the instant
Tx:15.44  against deception and seek not to protect the thoughts you would  keep unto yourself. Let the Holy Spirit's purity shine them away and
Tx:15.65  ego establishes relationships only to get something. And it would  keep the giver bound to itself through guilt.
Tx:15.66  it is its purpose. For the ego really believes that it can get and  keep by making guilty. This is its one attraction; an attraction so
Tx:15.75  own. The union of bodies thus becomes the way in which you would  keep minds apart. For bodies cannot forgive. They can only do as the
Tx:15.76  be with a body is companionship, you will be compelled to attempt to  keep your brother in his body, held there by guilt. And you will see
Tx:15.101  which you think you see some scraps of safety. Do not try longer to  keep apart your thoughts and the Thought that has been given you.
Tx:15.106  it has no meaning at all apart from you. It is what you preferred to  keep that has no meaning, while all that you would keep away holds
Tx:15.106  you preferred to keep that has no meaning, while all that you would  keep away holds all the meaning of the universe and holds the
Tx:16.3  past that you would share, for there is nothing there that you would  keep. Do not use empathy to make the past real and so perpetuate it.
Tx:16.3  it. Step gently aside and let the healing be done for you.  Keep but one thought in mind and do not lose sight of it, however
Tx:16.8  meeting the needs of one, you do not jeopardize another because you  keep them separate and secret from each other. That is not the way,
Tx:16.11  For this is but another way in which you would still try to  keep understanding to yourself. A better and far more helpful way to
Tx:16.32  outside the haven by attempting to build barricades against it and  keep within them. The special love relationship is not perceived as a
Tx:16.61  value it, you must also value the body. And what you value, you will  keep. The special relationship is a device for limiting your self to
Tx:16.65  into reality. Time is kind, and if you use it for reality, it will  keep gentle pace with you in your transition. The urgency is only in
Tx:16.66  in the special relationship is really part of you. And you cannot  keep part of the thought system which taught you it was real and
Tx:17.3  You believe that truth cannot deal with them only because you would  keep them from truth. Very simply, your lack of faith in the power
Tx:17.5  bring truth to illusions, you are trying to make illusions real and  keep them by justifying your belief in them. But to give illusions to
Tx:17.15  would make the ego holy in your sight and teach you what you do to  keep it safe is really love.
Tx:17.36  truth with destruction. And your defense must now be undertaken to  keep truth whole. The power of Heaven, the love of God, the tears of
Tx:17.64  would have been removed. To remove the problem elsewhere is to  keep it. For you remove yourself from it and make it unsolvable.
Tx:17.71  in every part. You can leave nothing of yourself outside it and  keep the situation holy. For it shares the purpose of your whole
Tx:17.79  you have risen far beyond any situation that could hold you back and  keep you separate from Him Whose call you answered.
Tx:18.9  to help Him show you that no substitute you made for Heaven can  keep you from it. In you there is no separation, and no substitute
Tx:18.9  you from it. In you there is no separation, and no substitute can  keep you from each other. Your reality was God's creation and has no

Tx:18.48  to offer to the Holy Spirit, that His blessing may descend on us and  keep us both in peace.
Tx:18.70  It is this center, from which the body is absent, that will  keep it so in your awareness of it.
Tx:18.72  Him there. Limits on love will always seem to shut Him out and to  keep you apart from Him. The body is a tiny fence around a little
Tx:18.78  impartial in its giving, encompassing only to preserve and  keep complete what it would give. In your tiny kingdom, you have so
Tx:18.83  and tired and the desert's dust still seems to cloud your eyes and  keep you sightless. Yet He Whom you welcomed has come to you and
Tx:18.88  insane attacks, the fury, vengeance, and betrayal that were made to  keep the guilt in place, so that the world could rise from it and
Tx:18.88  to keep the guilt in place, so that the world could rise from it and  keep it hidden. Its shadow rises to the surface, enough to hold its
Tx:18.88  in darkness and to bring despair and loneliness to it and  keep it joyless. Yet its intensity is veiled by its heavy coverings
Tx:18.88  veiled by its heavy coverings and kept apart from what was made to  keep it hidden. The body cannot see this, for the body arose from
Tx:19.6  but without connection. This will not harm the body, but it will  keep the delusional thought system in the mind.
Tx:19.7  They are together, and when they are seen together, all attempts to  keep both truth and illusion in the mind, where both must be, are
Tx:19.8  the body by hiding this connection, for this concealment seems to  keep your identification safe from the “attack” of truth.
Tx:19.11  yourself. It is His love that joins you, and for His love you would  keep no one separate from yours. Each one appears just as he is
Tx:19.15 As faithlessness will  keep your little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith help the
Tx:19.20  Or is it, rather, an attempt to wrest creation away from truth and  keep it separate?
Tx:19.28  love. What, then, is sin? What could it be but a mistake you would  keep hidden—a call for help that you would keep unheard and thus
Tx:19.28  but a mistake you would keep hidden—a call for help that you would  keep unheard and thus unanswered? In time the Holy Spirit clearly
Tx:19.36  other, and let not sin arise again to blind your eyes. For sin would  keep you separate, but your Redeemer would have you look upon each
Tx:19.40  is your desire to get rid of it. For it cannot extend unless you  keep it. You are the center from which it radiates outward to call
Tx:19.41  This little wall of hatred would still oppose the Will of God and  keep it limited.
Tx:19.42  it. What you would still contain behind your little barrier and  keep separate from each other seems mightier than the universe, for
Tx:19.42  its Creator. This little wall would hide the purpose of Heaven and  keep it from Heaven.
Tx:19.45  little wall of shadows. The sun has risen over it. How can a shadow  keep you from the sun? No more can you be kept by shadows from the
Tx:19.57  I love, knowing its littleness? Or would I teach that bodies cannot  keep us apart? Mine was no greater value than yours; no better means
Tx:19.66  come ye faithful to the holy union of the Father and Son in you! And  keep you not apart from what is offered you in gratitude for giving
Tx:19.67  raise to freedom and bar my way to you. Yet it is not possible to  keep away One Who is there already. And in Him it is possible that
Tx:19.73  Holy Spirit tells you this with joy. The ego hides it, for it would  keep you unaware of it. Who would send messages of hatred and attack
Tx:19.81  of corruption, a sacrifice to sin, offered to sin to feed upon and  keep itself alive—a thing condemned, damned by its maker, and
Tx:19.82 You have another dedication which would  keep the body incorruptible and perfect as long as it is useful for
Tx:19.92  that it is there. This is the secret bargain made with the ego to  keep what lies beyond the veil forever blotted out and unremembered.
Tx:19.97  It would not have you see its weakness and learn it has no power to  keep you from the truth. The Guide Who brought you here remains with
Tx:19.101  interpretation of him is very fearful. And you attack him still, to  keep what seems to be yourself unharmed. Yet in his hands is your
Tx:20.17  deems necessary and interposing them between those who would meet to  keep them separate and prevent their union. It is this studied
Tx:20.28  them not and gives no power to their seeming source. Thus would He  keep you free of them. Being without illusion of what you are, the
Tx:20.46  understood, and shared. It has no secrets; nothing that it would  keep apart and hide. It walks in sunlight, open-eyed and calm, in
Tx:20.47  sunlight and happy in the body's darkness where they can hide and  keep their secrets hidden along with them. And they have no
Tx:20.49  Here the unholy relationship escapes reality and seeks for crumbs to  keep itself alive. Here it would drag its brothers, holding them here
Tx:20.57  memory of their relationship with their Father from themselves and  keep remembrance of His love apart from their awareness?
Tx:21.6  to them because they cannot see. They do not understand the lessons  keep them blind. This they do not believe. And so they keep the world
Tx:21.6  the lessons keep them blind. This they do not believe. And so they  keep the world they learned to “see” in their imagination, believing
Tx:21.7  and fail again. And they adjust to loneliness, believing that to  keep the body is to save the little that they have. Listen and try to
Tx:21.18 Begrudge not, then, this little offering. Withhold it, and you  keep the world as now you see it. Give it away, and everything you
Tx:21.25  of cause and effect becomes inevitable. The purpose now becomes to  keep obscure the cause of the effect and make effect appear to be a
Tx:21.29  whom you have a limited relationship you hate. You may attempt to  keep the bargain in the name of “fairness,” sometimes demanding
Tx:21.31  This is indeed a little feat for such a power. For faith can  keep the Son of God in chains as long as he believes he is in chains.
Tx:21.48  the ego's weakness is revealed in both your sight. What it would  keep apart has met and joined, and looks upon the ego unafraid.
Tx:22.36 Let not the form of his mistakes  keep you from him whose holiness is yours. Let not the vision of his
Tx:22.47  Father Whom you would defend against. Yet it remains impossible to  keep love out. God rests with you in quiet, undefended and wholly
Tx:22.60  came about, for here lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to  keep the fear of God in place, unmovable and solid as a rock. While
Tx:22.65  of love is there, which makes all fear impossible? Do not attempt to  keep a little of the ego with this gift. For it was given you to be

Tx:23.27  enemies would keep from you must be worth having, just because they  keep it hidden from your sight.

Tx:24.21  to God as God is to Himself. He is not special, for He would not  keep one part of what He is unto Himself, not given to His Son but
Tx:24.37  before it. Yet what comfort has ever been in them that you would  keep the gift your Father asks from Him and give it there instead?
Tx:25.7  there, before Him now, to let Him draw aside the veil that seems to  keep you separate and apart.
Tx:25.12  hold is that you learn it gave you no rewards that you would want to  keep. For only thus will you be willing to relinquish it and have it
Tx:25.63  of Him. But this He needs—that you prefer He take it than that you  keep it for yourself alone and recognize that what brings loss to no
Tx:25.66  be laid beside your little payment to “atone” for all that you would  keep and not give up. So is the victim seen as partly you, with
Tx:25.84  the Holy Spirit to solve for you means that you want it solved. To  keep it for yourself to solve without His help is to decide it should
Tx:25.86 The little problems that you  keep and hide become your secret sins because you did not choose to
Tx:26.2  away within the wall. Each part must sacrifice the other part to  keep itself complete. For if they joined, each one would lose its own
Tx:26.3  And all the rest must lose this little part, remaining incomplete to  keep its own identity intact. In this perception of yourself, the
Tx:26.6  of its reality. Nor can you lose what you would sacrifice nor  keep the Holy Spirit from His task of showing you that it has not
Tx:26.9  but to release the holy Son of God from the imprisonment he made to  keep himself from justice? Could your function be a task apart and
Tx:26.14  believe it safe to give but some mistakes to be corrected while you  keep the others to yourself, remember this: justice is total. There

Tx:26.16  willing to receive correction for all your problems. You will not  keep one, for pain in any form you will not want. And you will see
Tx:26.26  And what has been forgiven must join, for nothing stands between to  keep them separate and apart. The sinless must perceive that they are
Tx:26.34 The tiny instant you would  keep and make eternal passed away in Heaven too soon for anything to
Tx:26.35  instant still called back, as if it could be made again in time. You  keep an ancient memory before your eyes. And he who lives in memories
Tx:26.39  of resurrection, not of death. No past illusions have the power to  keep you in a place of death, a vault God's Son entered an instant,
Tx:26.44  one illusion real and still escape the rest. For who can choose to  keep the ones which he prefers and find the safety that the truth
Tx:26.68  the benefits of trust. This but reflects the little you would  keep between yourselves that you might be a little separate. For time
Tx:26.69 There is a distance you would  keep apart from one another, and this space you see as time because
Tx:26.70  as the body is except in terms of what you see it for. If you would  keep a little space between you still, you want a little time in

Tx:26.83  angels hover lovingly, to keep away all darkened thoughts of sin and  keep the light where it has entered in. Your footprints lighten up

Tx:28.6  hand in hand with all the other attributes with which you seek to  keep concealed the truth about yourself. Time neither takes away nor

Tx:28.13  instantly the memory of God arises in the mind that has no fear to  keep the memory away. Its own remembering has gone. There is no past

Tx:28.31  seeds of pestilence and every form of ill because it is a wish to  keep apart and not to join. And thus it seems to give a cause to
Tx:28.31  of the gap is all the cause that sickness has. For it was made to  keep you separated in a body which you see as if it were the cause of

Tx:29.48 All idols of this world were made to  keep the truth within from being known to you and to maintain
Tx:29.63  part of what they have been made to save you from. Thus does an idol  keep the dream alive and terrible, for who could wish for one unless
Tx:29.65  his own because they seem to save him from his thoughts. Yet do they  keep his thoughts alive and real but seen outside himself, where they

Tx:30.75  joylessness forgiveness cannot heal. This means that you prefer to  keep some idols and are not prepared as yet to let all idols go. And
Tx:30.76  only some of it. You must forgive God's Son entirely. Or you will  keep an image of yourself that is not whole and will remain afraid to

Tx:30.91  more than this—a prayer the miracle touch not some dreams but  keep their unreality obscure and give to them reality instead. And

W1:127.5  What the world believes was made to hide love's meaning and to  keep it dark and secret. There is not one principle the world upholds

Tx:14.63  if what you learned is true. If you are wholly free of fear of any  kind, and if all those who meet or even think of you share in your
Tx:15.93  you ask of yourself, you ask of me. Learn now that sacrifice of any  kind is nothing but a limitation imposed on giving. And by this
Tx:15.102  of Christ has come. He comes demanding nothing. No sacrifice of any  kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the whole idea of
Tx:16.19 Reality is safe and sure and wholly  kind to everyone and everything. There is no greater love than to
Tx:16.42 If special relationships of any  kind would hinder God's completion, can they have value to you? What

Tx:16.65  that you will be abruptly lifted up and hurled into reality. Time is  kind, and if you use it for reality, it will keep gentle pace with
Tx:16.78  nothing against anyone, for He is incapable of illusions of any  kind. Release your brothers from the slavery of their illusions by
Tx:17.18  unholy relationship. For time is cruel in the ego's hands, as it is  kind when used for gentleness. The attraction of the unholy

Tx:21.57  cannot be applied to sin. Knowledge is far beyond attainment of any  kind. But reason can serve to open doors you closed against it.
Tx:21.59  give it, thus maintaining the belief. For uncorrected error of any  kind deceives you about the power that is in you to make correction.
Tx:21.65  Reason is given you to understand that this is so. For reason,  kind as is the purpose for which it is the means, leads steadily away

Tx:22.62  But you will not remember this while you believe attack of any  kind means anything. It is unjustified in any form because it has no
Tx:23.1  and nothing else is strong. The sinless cannot fear, for sin of any  kind is weakness. The show of strength attack would use to cover
Tx:23.4  does not exist. Your purpose is at variance with littleness of any  kind. And so it is at variance with sin.
Tx:23.6  in it. So will you come to understand all that is given you. In  kind forgiveness will the world sparkle and shine and everything you
Tx:23.10  was God Himself, to Whom all conflict, triumph, and attack of any  kind are all unknown. He loves you perfectly, completely, and
Tx:23.21  to understand that miracles apply to all of them. Errors of any  kind can be corrected because they are untrue. When brought to truth
Tx:23.28  they would respond with only kindness. But in a savage world, the  kind cannot survive, so they must take or else be taken from.
Tx:23.43 Salvation is no compromise of any  kind. To compromise is to accept but part of what you want—to take
Tx:23.54  and who know that it is theirs! They want for nothing. Sorrow of any  kind is inconceivable. Only the light they love is in awareness, and
Tx:23.54  it is impossible their happiness could ever suffer change of any  kind. Perhaps you think the battleground can offer something that you
Tx:24.5  for they are different and not the same. And difference of any  kind imposes orders of reality and a need to judge that cannot be
Tx:24.9 Could you attack each other if you chose to see no specialness of any  kind between you? Look fairly at whatever makes you give each other
Tx:24.25  has failed and will forever fail to bring you peace and joy of any  kind? Through this despair you travel now, yet it is but illusion of
Tx:24.39  when peace is not with you entirely and when you suffer pain of any  kind, you have beheld some sin within your brother and have rejoiced
Tx:24.57  wandering, without a purpose and without accomplishment of any  kind, is all the other choice can offer you. Futility of function not
Tx:24.68  size nor weight nor time nor held to limits or uncertainties of any  kind. Here do the means and end unite as one, nor does this one have
Tx:25.46 Such is the Holy Spirit's  kind perception of specialness—His use of what you made, to heal
Tx:25.65 There is a  kind of justice in salvation of which the world knows nothing. To the
Tx:25.81  for an attack. Only a loss could justify attack, and loss of any  kind He cannot see. The world solves problems in another way. It sees
Tx:25.83  must be for everyone because he does not merit an attack of any  kind. What order can there be in miracles, unless someone deserves to
Tx:26.61  and thus denies that everything is his, unlimited by loss of any  kind. A tiny sacrifice is just the same in its effects as is the
Tx:26.64  is no pain or suffering. Forgiveness is the answer to attack of any  kind. So is attack deprived of its effects, and hate is answered in

Tx:27.6  his madness bid him do was ever done or ever had effects of any  kind; that no reproach he laid upon his heart was ever justified, and

Tx:30.31  advisor in the world. Whose kingdom is the world for you today? What  kind of day will you decide to have?
Tx:31.57  secret wishes. Nothing more than this. And in your suffering of any  kind, you see your own concealed desire to kill.
Tx:31.67  where nothing need be feared but only loved. Who is unwelcome to the  kind in heart? And what could hurt the truly innocent? Your will be
Tx:31.72  offered you. Hold out your hand that you may have the gift of  kind forgiveness which you offer one whose need for it is just the
W1:3.1  same way as the previous ones, without making distinctions of any  kind. Whatever you see becomes a proper subject for applying the
W1:4.5  preoccupied. Further, since these exercises are the first of their  kind, you may find the suspension of judgment in connection with

W1:10.2 This is the second time we have used this  kind of idea. The form is only slightly different. This time the idea

W1:13.8  attempt at stating an explicit cause and effect relationship of a  kind which you are very inexperienced in recognizing. Do not dwell on
W1:30.2 Today we are trying to use the new  kind of projection. We are not attempting to get rid of what we do

W1:49.2  a wild illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any  kind. Try today not to listen to it. Try to identify with the part of
W1:67.3 Holiness created me holy. Kindness created me  kind. Helpfulness created me helpful. Perfection created me perfect.
W1:73.17  in this form immediately you are tempted to hold a grievance of any  kind. This will help you let your grievances go instead of cherishing
W1:98.6  is an offer guaranteeing you your full release from pain of every  kind and joy the world does not contain. You can exchange a little of
W1:103.6  throughout the day, and quiet all your fears with this assurance,  kind and wholly true:
W1:108.5  these are but some special cases of one law which holds for every  kind of learning if it be directed by the One Who knows the truth.
W1:R3.12  in all ways, all times and places, and whenever you need help of any  kind. Try, then, to take it with you in the business of the day and

W1:130.5  It is impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any  kind. Seek for the one; the other disappears. But one remains. They

W1:136.1  no meaning. Being causeless and without a meaningful intent of any  kind, it cannot be at all. When this is seen, healing is automatic.
W1:155.5  these paths there is another road that leads away from loss of every  kind, for sacrifice and deprivation both are quickly left behind.
W1:157.1  This day is holy, for it ushers in a new experience, a different  kind of feeling and awareness. You have spent long days and nights in
W1:167.2  supremely happy. It is the alarm to which you give response of any  kind that is not perfect joy. All sorrow, loss, anxiety, and

W1:168.2  be impossible, for hope would be forever satisfied; despair of any  kind unthinkable. His grace His answer is to all despair, for in it
W1:184.7  proper place, it serves but as a starting point from which another  kind of learning can begin, a new perception can be gained, and all

Tx:4.42 You too have a  kingdom which your Soul created. It has not ceased to create because
Tx:4.43 The  Kingdom is perfectly united and perfectly protected, and the ego will

Tx:6.90  for identifying with the Kingdom since it is the condition of the  Kingdom. You have believed that you are without the Kingdom and have

Tx:7.2 If you created God and He created you, the  Kingdom could not increase through its own creative thought. Creation

Tx:7.2  power to add to the Kingdom, but not to add to the Creator of the  Kingdom. You claim this power when you become vigilant only for God

Tx:7.5 I gave only love to the  Kingdom because I believed that was what I was. What you believe you
Tx:7.5  and beyond time, and you who are co-creators with Him extend His  Kingdom forever and beyond limit. Eternity is the indelible stamp of

Tx:7.9  were absent from the Kingdom or separated from it, thus making the  Kingdom itself obscure to both of you. Sickness and separation are

Tx:7.9  separation are not of God, but the Kingdom is. If you obscure the  Kingdom, you are perceiving what is not of God.
Tx:7.10  by sharing the Holy Spirit with him. This places you both within the  Kingdom and restores its wholeness in your minds. This parallels
Tx:7.10  This is an immutable law of the mind in this world as well as in the  Kingdom. However, the content is different in this world, because the
Tx:7.10  the thoughts it governs are very different from the thoughts in the  Kingdom. Laws must be adapted to circumstances if they are to
Tx:7.14 Outside the  Kingdom, the law which prevails inside it is adapted to “what you
Tx:7.14  project you believe.” This is its teaching form, since outside the  Kingdom teaching is mandatory, because learning is essential. This
Tx:7.14  have projected onto others and therefore believe they are. In the  Kingdom there is no teaching or learning, because there is no belief.
Tx:7.14  create like Him, follow it gladly, knowing that the increase of the  Kingdom depends on it, just as their own creation did.
Tx:7.16  His Sons of truth. The extension of truth, which is the law of the  Kingdom, rests only on the knowledge of what truth is. This is your
Tx:7.18 What can the perfect consistency of the  Kingdom mean to the confused? It is apparent that confusion
Tx:7.18  the learner from appreciating it. There is no confusion in the  Kingdom, because there is only one meaning. This meaning comes from
Tx:7.18  because nothing discordant ever enters. That is why it is the  Kingdom of God. It belongs to Him and is therefore like Him. That is
Tx:7.24  maximizes all efforts and all results. By teaching the power of the  Kingdom of God Himself, He teaches you that all power is yours. Its
Tx:7.26 God's meaning waits in the  Kingdom, because that is where He placed it. It does not wait in
Tx:7.26  where He placed it. It does not wait in time. It merely rests in the  Kingdom, because it belongs there, as you do. How can you, who are
Tx:7.29 To be in the  Kingdom is merely to focus your full attention on it. As long as you

Tx:7.81  Sons who belong to Him. All power and glory are yours, because the  Kingdom is His.
Tx:7.82  which you create and were created. It is the law which unifies the  Kingdom and keeps it in the Mind of God. To the ego, the law is
Tx:7.90  of separation and affirming your true identification with the whole  Kingdom as literally part of you. This identification is as beyond
Tx:7.94 The  Kingdom is forever extending, because it is in the Mind of God. You
Tx:7.94  you do not know your own self-fullness. Exclude any part of the  Kingdom from yourself, and you are not whole. A split mind cannot
Tx:7.94  heal it. This reawakens the wholeness in it and restores it to the  Kingdom because of its acceptance of wholeness. The full appreciation
Tx:7.94  and extension inevitable. That is why there is perfect peace in the  Kingdom. Every Soul is fulfilling its function, and only complete
Tx:7.97  have included the whole. You have said that when you write of the  Kingdom and your creations which belong in it, you are describing
Tx:7.97  failure to acknowledge the whole result of the ego's premises. The  Kingdom is the result of premises, just as this world is.
Tx:7.100  share what He knows. Deny His Will as yours, and you are denying His  Kingdom and yours. The Holy Spirit will direct you only so as to

Tx:8.13  for this. When we said, “All power and glory are yours because the  Kingdom is His,” this is what we meant.
Tx:8.15  all power and glory can the Holy Spirit appeal to restore God's  Kingdom? His appeal, then, is merely to what the Kingdom is and for

Tx:13.33  loveliness and for the many gifts that you will let me offer to the  Kingdom in honor of its wholeness, which is of God.

Tx:4.8  irreconcilable because the Soul cannot perceive and the ego cannot  know. They are therefore not in communication and can never be in
Tx:4.15  as you believe in it. You who made it cannot trust it because you  know it is not real. The only sane solution is not to try to change
Tx:4.15  within easy reach of your Soul. When you are afraid, be still and  know that God is real and you are His beloved Son in whom He is well
Tx:4.15  pleased. Do not let your ego dispute this because the ego cannot  know what is as far beyond its reach as you are.
Tx:4.16  gave you a very lofty responsibility which you are not meeting. You  know this, and you are afraid. In fact, your egos have chosen to be

Tx:4.61 When you feel guilty,  know that the ego has indeed violated the laws of God, but you have
Tx:4.62  mind for the temptations of the ego and do not be deceived by it.  Know it offers you nothing. When you have given up this voluntary
Tx:4.65  ego's dark glass you need but say, “I will not look there because I  know these images are not true.” Then let the Holy One shine on you

Tx:4.100  joy is not complete because yours is incomplete. And this He does  know. He knows it in His own Being and its experience of His Son's
Tx:4.101  your kingdom for you, but He cannot share His joy with you until you  know it with your whole mind. Even revelation is not enough because
Tx:5.3  want to bless them in return out of gratitude. You do not have to  know them individually or they you. The light is so strong that it

Tx:5.21  the separation you did not need guidance. You knew as you will  know again, but as you do not know now. God does not guide because He

Tx:5.25  he has lost sight of his Soul. He cannot lose it, but he can not  know it. It is therefore lost to him until he chooses right. The Holy
Tx:5.32 The way to learn to  know your brother is by perceiving the Holy Spirit in him. We have
Tx:5.38  light because He is in you who are light, but you yourselves do not  know this. It is therefore the task of the Holy Spirit to reinterpret
Tx:5.45  and beyond guilt. They came from the Holy Spirit within you, and we  know what God creates is eternal. What fear has hidden still is part
Tx:5.55  you do not want to keep him. You must learn to see him as he is and  know that he belongs to God as you do. How could you treat your
Tx:5.68  was created by Him. Guilt feelings are always a sign that you do not  know this. They also show that you believe you can think apart from
Tx:5.73 The mind does indeed  know its power, because the mind does indeed know God. Remember the

Tx:5.92  the endless insane calls which you think are made upon you when you  know the Voice of God Himself is in you? God commended His Spirit to
Tx:6.9  teach your own perfect immunity, which is the truth in you, and  know that it cannot be assailed. Do not protect it yourselves, or you
Tx:6.11  voice, because it weakens them as teachers and as learners. Yet I  know that they cannot really betray themselves or me and that it is
Tx:6.16  and His separated Sons. If you will listen to His Voice, you will  know that you cannot either hurt or be hurt and that many need your
Tx:6.16  of every Son of God is necessary to enable the Sonship to  know its wholeness. Only this is knowledge.
Tx:6.24  is not as God thinks, and you must think as He thinks if you are to  know Him again.
Tx:6.31  in a way that parallels knowledge, you will ultimately meet it and  know it. The ego would prefer to believe that this meeting is
Tx:6.32  God created you to create. You cannot extend His Kingdom until you  know of its wholeness.
Tx:6.39  The word “knows” is correct here, even though the ego does not  know and is not concerned with being at all.
Tx:6.42  The perfectly safe are wholly benign. They bless because they  know they are blessed. Without anxiety the mind is wholly kind, and
Tx:6.43  By learning it through projection, it becomes a part of what you  know, because you cannot teach what you have dissociated.
Tx:6.47  until you fully understand one basic fact that the ego does not  know. The Holy Spirit does not speak first, but He always answers.
Tx:6.50  confused you. Yet that was only because you were asleep and did not  know. When you awake, you will see the truth around you and in you,
Tx:6.57 Like any good teacher, the Holy Spirit does  know more than you do now, but He teaches only to make you equal with
Tx:6.57  a split mind, when He knows your mind only as whole? What God does  know is that His communication channels are not open to Him so that
Tx:6.57  channels are not open to Him so that He cannot impart His joy and  know that His Children are wholly joyous. This is an ongoing process,
Tx:6.60  fantasy and reality, and they are frightened, because they do not  know the difference. The Holy Spirit makes no distinction among

Tx:7.62 When you believe what God does not  know, your thought seems to contradict His, and this makes it appear

Tx:7.75  are not extending the gift you both have and are, and so you do not  know your being. All confusion comes from not extending life, since

Tx:7.80  understanding this as God Himself is lonely when His Sons do not  know Him. The peace of God is understanding this. There is only one
Tx:7.93  Unless you create, you are unfulfilled; but God does not  know of unfulfillment, and therefore you must create. You may not

Tx:7.97  creations which belong in it, you are describing what you do not  know. That is true in a sense, but no more true than your failure to
Tx:7.101 You no more recognize what is painful than you  know what is joyful and are in fact very apt to confuse the two. The
Tx:7.106 Miracles are in accord with the Will of God Whose Will you do not  know, because you are confused about what you will. This means that

Tx:9.65  capable of awakening to reality. Is it your will to do so? You  know from your own experience that what you see in dreams you think
Tx:9.65  is real as long as you are asleep. Yet the instant you waken, you  know that everything that seemed to happen did not happen at all. You
Tx:9.66  yet that it once was so. And it is in this remembering that you will  know it can be so again. What is possible has not yet been

Tx:9.79  that each one is part of Him. God's Son knows no idols, but he does  know his Father. Health in this world is the counterpart of value in
Tx:9.80  it is because he is not asking for peace and therefore does not  know he has it. The acceptance of peace is the denial of illusion,
Tx:9.80  by denying them completely in himself. I can heal you because I  know you. I know your value for you, and it is this value that makes
Tx:9.80  them completely in himself. I can heal you because I know you. I  know your value for you, and it is this value that makes you whole. A
Tx:9.80  that makes you whole. A whole mind is not idolatrous and does not  know of conflicting laws. I will heal you merely because I have only
Tx:9.86  but its acceptance depends on your willingness to have it. To  know reality must involve the willingness to judge unreality for what
Tx:9.93  you have foresworn God. Men are afraid of blasphemy, but they do not  know what it means. They do not realize that to deny God is to deny
Tx:9.95  not God-destructive. It means that you are willing not to  know yourself in order to be sick. This is the offering which your
Tx:9.98  Your denial of Him therefore means that you love Him and that you  know He loves you. Remember that what you deny, you must have known.
Tx:9.100  is the acknowledgment of Him. When you acknowledge Him, you will  know that He has never ceased to acknowledge you and that in His
Tx:9.102  it so. Yet He would not interfere with you, because He would not  know His Son if he were not free. To interfere with you would be to
Tx:9.102  of His Son's creation, fixed forever in the Mind of God. To  know that is sanity. To deny it is insanity. God gave Himself to you
Tx:10.8  on His creation nor upon those who create like Him. You do not  know this simply because you have tried to limit what He created, and
Tx:10.8  so you believe that all creation is limited. How, then, could you  know your creations, having denied infinity? The laws of the universe
Tx:10.11  one gift is Himself. How can you give except like Him if you would  know His gift to you? Give, then, without limit and without end to
Tx:10.12 Yet what you will you do not  know. This is not strange when you realize that to deny is to “not
Tx:10.12  know. This is not strange when you realize that to deny is to “not  know.” God's Will is that you are His Son. By denying this, you
Tx:10.12  Son. By denying this, you denied your own will and therefore do not  know what it is. The reason you must ask what God's Will is in
Tx:10.12  Will is in everything is merely because it is yours. You do not  know what it is, but the Holy Spirit remembers it for you. Ask Him,
Tx:10.12  will tell you yours. It cannot be too often repeated that you do not  know it. Whenever what the Holy Spirit tells you appears to be
Tx:10.14  otherwise His Will would not have been extended. You are afraid to  know God's Will because you believe it is not yours. This belief is
Tx:10.14  arises here because this is the belief that makes you want not to  know. Believing this, you hide in darkness, denying that the light is
Tx:10.15  He gives can contradict Him. You who share His Life must share it to  know it, for sharing is knowing. Blessed are you who learn that to
Tx:10.15  Blessed are you who learn that to hear the Will of your Father is to  know your own. For it is your will to be like Him, Whose Will it is
Tx:10.16  yourself to Him because, in your perfect understanding of Him, you  know there is but one will. Yet when you attack any part of God and
Tx:10.18  knows not what he does. Having forgotten his will, he does not  know what he wants.
Tx:10.21 You will never rest until you  know your function and fulfill it, for only in this can your will and
Tx:10.22  depends on welcoming reality, and of your guests, only He is real.  Know, then, who abides with you merely by recognizing what is there
Tx:10.23  yourself. Your Comforter will rest you, but you cannot. You do not  know how, for if you did you could never have grown weary. Unless you
Tx:10.25  said, “God's Will is mine,” you will see such beauty that you will  know it is not of you. Out of your joy you will create beauty in His

Tx:13.37  It can merely be appreciated or not. To value it partially is not to  know its value. In Heaven is everything God valued and nothing else.

Tx:13.47 Yes, you are blessed indeed. Yet in this world, you do not  know it. But you have the means for learning it and seeing it quite
Tx:13.48 If you are blessed and do not  know it, you need to learn it must be so. The knowledge is not
Tx:13.49  How could you learn what has been done for you, but which you do not  know, unless you do what you would have to do if it had been done
Tx:13.49  for this if you will realize that to deny is the decision not to  know. The logic of the world must therefore lead to nothing, for its
Tx:13.76  plan which God has set for his Atonement, relinquishing his own. You  know not of salvation, for you do not understand it. Make no
Tx:13.78  wills for you is your will. Without His guidance, you will think you  know alone and will decide against your peace as surely as you made
Tx:13.80  would you struggle so frantically to anticipate all that you cannot  know when all knowledge lies behind every decision which the Holy

Tx:14.6  His plan for your awaking is as perfect as yours is fallible. You  know not what you do, but He Who knows is with you. His gentleness is
Tx:14.13  me. Our power comes not of us but of our Father. In guiltlessness we  know Him, as He knows us guiltless. I stand within the circle,

Tx:14.25  your insane system of belief, the truth lies hidden. Yet you cannot  know this, for by hiding truth in fear, you see no reason to believe
Tx:14.26 It is not possible to convince the unknowing that they  know. From their point of view, it is not true. Yet it is true
Tx:14.34 You  know not God because you know not this. And yet you do know God and

Tx:14.53  that you know nothing of it at all. For of yourselves you could not  know of it. The study of the ego is not the study of the mind. In
Tx:14.58 Yet the essential thing is learning that you do not  know. Knowledge is power, and all power is of God. You who have tried
Tx:14.58  yourselves has made your power more and more obscure to you. You  know not what it is nor where. You have made a semblance of power and
Tx:14.64  different from everything you have taught yourselves. How would you  know? Your part is very simple. You need only recognize that
Tx:14.65 I do not  know what anything, including this, means. And so I do not know how
Tx:14.65 I do not know what anything, including this, means. And so I do not  know how to respond to it. And I will not use my own past learning as
Tx:14.66 By this refusal to attempt to teach yourself what you do not  know, the Guide Whom God has given you will speak to you. He will

Tx:14.75  You think you know Him not only because, alone, it is impossible to  know Him. Yet see the mighty works that He will do through you, and
Tx:15.19  whether they support the ego or the Holy Spirit in you. And you will  know which you have chosen by their reactions. A Son of God who has
Tx:15.30  Prince of Peace, born in you in honor of Him Whose host you are. You  know not what love means because you have sought to purchase it with
Tx:15.32  you will make no more gifts to offer to yourselves, for you will  know you are complete, in need of nothing, and unable to accept
Tx:15.38  there. Use the holy instant only to recognize that you alone cannot  know where it is and can only deceive yourself.
Tx:15.45  to judge because it would be quite apparent to you that you do not  know what anything means. You are afraid of this because you believe
Tx:15.63  something else together, the language of communication, which you  know perfectly, you will not remember.
Tx:15.69  will offer them gladly to Him. What He can make of them, you do not  know, but you will become willing to find out if you are willing,
Tx:15.84  you have made it. In Him alone lies the awareness of what God cannot  know and what you do not understand. It is His holy function to
Tx:15.92  the season when you would celebrate my birth into the world. Yet you  know not how to do it. Let the Holy Spirit teach you, and let me

Tx:16.3  will neither to hurt it nor to heal it in your own way. You do not  know what healing is. All you have learned of empathy is from the
Tx:16.5  this sense only—to recognize and accept the fact that you do not  know is to recognize and accept the fact that He does know. You are
Tx:16.5  you do not know is to recognize and accept the fact that He does  know. You are not sure that He will do His part because you have
Tx:16.5  part because you have never yet done yours completely. You will not  know how to respond to what you do not understand. Be tempted not in
Tx:16.6  of weakness is not what you would offer to a brother. And yet you  know no triumph but this. This is not knowledge, and the form of
Tx:16.16  you fear, that to acknowledge Him is to deny all that you think you  know. But it was never true. What gain is there to you in clinging to
Tx:16.22  not learned how to be free. We once said, “By their fruits ye shall  know them, and they shall know themselves.” For it is certain that
Tx:16.22  We once said, “By their fruits ye shall know them, and they shall  know themselves.” For it is certain that you judge yourself according
Tx:16.23  you taught came from yourself. And yet, this Self you clearly do not  know and do not recognize It even though It functions. What functions
Tx:16.24 This is a course in how to  know yourself. You have taught what you are but have not let what you

Tx:16.30  for freedom lies in looking at it. It would be impossible not to  know the meaning of love except for this. For the special love
Tx:16.57  meaning. And unless love's meaning is restored to you, you cannot  know yourself, who shares its meaning. Separation is only the
Tx:16.57  who shares its meaning. Separation is only the decision not to  know yourself. Its whole thought system is a carefully contrived
Tx:17.42  to yours, you will experience again the meaning of relationship and  know it to be true. Let us ascend in peace together to the Father by
Tx:17.58  reason for this disorganized approach is evident. The ego does not  know what it wants to come of it. It is aware of what it does not
Tx:18.25  advance because your goal is the advance from fear to truth. You  know this. The goal which you accepted is the goal of knowledge, for
Tx:18.26  this way which you have chosen, fear would be impossible. You do not  know because the journey into darkness has been long and cruel, and
Tx:18.51  it is attacked, to hold the separation in the mind and let it not  know its identity. Mind cannot attack, but it can make fantasies and
Tx:18.71  it was made to limit you. Can you who see yourselves within a body  know yourself as an idea? Everything you recognize you identify with
Tx:18.72 The body cannot  know. And while you limit your awareness to its tiny senses, you will
Tx:18.82  will not be able to give love welcome separately. You could no more  know God alone than He knows you without your brother. But together
Tx:18.82  But together you could no more be unaware of love than love could  know you not or fail to recognize itself in you.
Tx:18.83  long to give you this. Receive it now of Him, for He would have you  know Him. Only a little wall of dust still stands between you. Blow
Tx:18.98  for your only purpose will be creating. Yet this you cannot  know until every perception has been cleansed and purified and
Tx:19.45  of the journey's end. For Heaven knows you well, as you  know Heaven. No illusions stand between you now. Look not upon the
Tx:19.79  place of the ego's, you renounced death, exchanging it for life. We  know that an idea leaves not its source. And death is the result of
Tx:19.99  and even when it is over, it seems to make no sense. How can you  know that it is over unless you realize its purpose is accomplished?
Tx:19.101  who stands beside you still seems to be a stranger. You do not  know him, and your interpretation of him is very fearful. And you
Tx:19.103  as His Friend. The “enemies” of Christ, the worshipers of sin,  know not Whom they attack. This is your brother, crucified by sin,
Tx:20.4  me in, not knowing who I was. Yet for your gift of lilies you will  know. In your forgiveness of this stranger, alien to you and yet your
Tx:20.12  to hear. You heard but knew not how to look nor where. And now you  know. In you the knowledge lies, ready to be unveiled and freed from
Tx:20.23  “What am I?” He is the only thing in all the universe that does not  know. Yet it is he you asked, and it is to his answer that you would
Tx:20.25  him beside you, you shall this day enter with him to Paradise and  know the peace of God.
Tx:20.27 Share, then, this faith with me and  know that it is justified. There is no fear in perfect love because
Tx:20.32  is appointed separately, though they are all the same. Yet those who  know that they are all the same need not salvation. And each one
Tx:20.44  is he, that the Creator of the universe should offer it to him and  know it rests in safety? He looks upon himself not as his Father
Tx:20.68 Do you not want to  know your own Identity? Would you not happily exchange your doubts
Tx:21.6  to their world by their adjustments to it. They think they  know their way about in it. They learned it, not through joyous
Tx:21.9  you would lose the world you learned since then. And yet you  know that nothing in the world you learned is half so dear as this.
Tx:21.11 This is the vision of the Son of God, whom you  know well. Here is the sight of him who knows his Father. Here is the
Tx:21.11  you. Accept the vision which can show you this and not the body. You  know the ancient song and know it well. Nothing will ever be as dear
Tx:21.11  can show you this and not the body. You know the ancient song and  know it well. Nothing will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient
Tx:21.55 Oh yes, you  know this and more than this alone. Yet any part of knowledge
Tx:21.58  you now the question must have come from something that you do not  know but must belong to you? Faith and belief, upheld by reason,

Tx:21.72 Frantic and loud and strong the dark ones seem to be. Yet they  know not their enemy, except they hate him. In hatred they have come
Tx:22.21  no one undertakes to do what holds no hope of ever being done. You  know what your Creator wills is possible, but what you made believes
Tx:22.32  error attracts the ego. Meaning it does not recognize and does not  know if it is there or not. Everything which the body's eyes can see
Tx:22.55  Light you bring shines now on you. The means of sinlessness can  know no fear because they carry only love with them.
Tx:22.61  than to attack the great Creator of the universe, whose power you  know.
Tx:22.62 If you were one with God and recognized this oneness, you would  know His power is yours. But you will not remember this while you
Tx:23.5  and so is yours protected and kept in your awareness. For who can  know his glory and perceive the little and the weak about him? Who
Tx:23.13  and far beyond their little reach. You will remember what you  know when you have learned you cannot be in conflict. One illusion
Tx:23.30  death? Can you be sure your murderous attack is justified unless you  know what it is for? And here a final principle of chaos comes to the
Tx:23.40  Yet any instant it is possible to have all this undone. How can you  know whether you chose the stairs to Heaven or the way to hell? Quite
Tx:23.43  It would maintain you can attack a little, love a little, and  know the difference. Thus it would teach a little of the same can
Tx:23.45  on its behalf cannot perceive it lies within them. How could they  know? Could they accept forgiveness side by side with the belief that
Tx:23.52  battle from above. Even in forms you do not recognize, the signs you  know. There is a stab of pain, a twinge of guilt, and above all, a
Tx:23.52  of pain, a twinge of guilt, and above all, a loss of peace. This you  know well. When it occurs, leave not your place on high but quickly
Tx:23.54 Think what is given those who share their Father's purpose and who  know that it is theirs! They want for nothing. Sorrow of any kind is
Tx:23.54  future always the same, eternally complete, and wholly shared. They  know it is impossible their happiness could ever suffer change of any
Tx:24.3 Love is extension. To withhold the smallest gift is not to  know love's purpose. Love offers everything forever. Hold back but
Tx:24.15  specialness against the truth of what you really are, how can you  know the truth? What answer that the Holy Spirit gives can reach you,
Tx:24.52  by the world, by time, and all appearances, you will not  know the Father nor yourself. For you will use the world for what is
Tx:24.61  do with it as your ally. For what you do through Christ it does not  know. To Him this judgment makes no sense at all, for only what His
Tx:24.64 How can you  know your worth while specialness claims you instead? How can you
Tx:24.64  your worth while specialness claims you instead? How can you fail to  know it is in his holiness? Seek not to make your specialness the
Tx:25.1  whose only purpose is that He may be made manifest to those who  know Him not, that He may call to them to come to Him and see Him
Tx:25.3  that the body says or does but makes Him manifest. To those who  know Him not, it carries Him in gentleness and love to heal their
Tx:25.63  alone and recognize that what brings loss to no one you would not  know. This much is necessary to add to the idea no one can lose for
Tx:25.64  faith remains to those who still believe in sin? What could they  know of Heaven and the justice of the saved?
Tx:25.66 You who  know not of justice still can ask and learn the answer. Justice looks
Tx:25.66  Can this be justice? God knows not of this. But justice does He  know and knows it well. For He is wholly fair to everyone.
Tx:25.78  And you recognize that truth must be revealed to you because you  know not what it is.
Tx:26.33 To you who still believe you live in time and  know not it is gone, the Holy Spirit still guides you through the
Tx:26.61  then is God's Son made incomplete and not himself. [Nor will he  know himself nor recognize his will.] He has forsworn his Father and
Tx:26.67  But it can make what always has been true be recognized by those who  know it not. And by this little gift of truth but let to be itself—
Tx:26.77  much you wish he be condemned, God is in him. And never will you  know He is in you as well, while you attack His chosen home and
Tx:26.87  except yourself, and you are enemy indeed to him because you do not  know him as yourself. What could be more unjust than that he be
Tx:26.91  do I deny the Presence of the Father and the Son. And I would rather  know of Them than see injustice which Their Presence shines away.
Tx:27.12  which a different view, another purpose, can be given it. You do not  know its purpose. You but gave illusions of a purpose to a thing you
Tx:27.22  you. Identity and function are the same, and by your function do you  know yourself. And thus, if you confuse your function with the
Tx:27.24  When you perceive correction is the same as pardon, then you also  know the Holy Spirit's mind and yours are one. And so your own
Tx:27.35  single thoughts, complete and happy, without opposite. You do not  know the peace of power which opposes nothing. Yet no other kind can
Tx:27.41  question is a learning tool which asks for something that you do not  know. It does not set conditions for response, but merely asks what
Tx:27.56  ears to hear, and let it tell you what it is it feels. It does not  know. It tells you but the names you gave it to use when you call
Tx:27.89  you pay no heed at all. For they attest the thing you do not want to  know. They seem to keep it secret from you. Yet you need but learn
Tx:28.21  this you cannot do. The dreamer of a dream is not awake but does not  know he sleeps. He sees illusions of himself as sick or well,
Tx:28.38  And what is real and what is but illusion in yourself you do not  know and cannot tell apart.
Tx:28.49  you are the dream you share. And fearing it, you will not want to  know your own Identity because you think that it is fearful. And you
Tx:28.50  can perceive are meaningless. It cannot see nor hear. It does not  know what seeing is, what listening is for. It is as little able to
Tx:28.50  It is as little able to perceive as it can judge or understand or  know. Its eyes are blind; its ears are deaf. It cannot think, and so
Tx:28.56 The thing you hate and fear and loathe and want, the body does not  know. You send it forth to seek for separation and to be a separate
Tx:29.6  to shrink more safely into fear. It will be sick because you do not  know what loving means. And so you must misuse each circumstance and
Tx:29.8  Would you recognize that nothing stands between you? Would you  know there is no gap behind which you can hide? There is a shock that
Tx:29.20  Thus he learns it must be his to give. Unless he gives, he will not  know he has, for giving is the proof of having. Only those who think
Tx:29.21  the wall the world has built to keep apart all living things who  know not that they live. Within the dream of bodies and of death is
Tx:29.30 What is your brother for? You do not  know because your function is obscure to you. Do not ascribe a role
Tx:29.43  and seek no longer elsewhere. You will fail. But it is given you to  know the truth and not to seek for it outside yourself.
Tx:29.49  be an endless circle of despair, you need but to decide you do not  know the purpose of the world. You give it goals it does not have,
Tx:29.52 What is an idol? Do you think you  know? For idols are unrecognized as such and never seen for what they
Tx:29.52  obscure, and they are feared and worshiped both because you do not  know what they are for and why they have been made. An idol is an
Tx:29.62  which will hold the judgment off from resting on himself. Nor can he  know the Self he has condemned. Judge not, because you make yourself
Tx:29.66  him, blessed. Except he judges this as does a child, who does not  know what hurts and what will heal. And bad things seem to happen,
Tx:30.2 Decisions are continuous. You do not always  know when you are making them. But with a little practice with the
Tx:30.45  sky. So high in Heaven is it set that those outside of Heaven  know not it is there. Yet still and white and lovely will it shine

Tx:2.1 This section deals with a fundamental misuse of  knowledge, referred to in the Bible as the cause of the “fall,” or
Tx:2.16  kind of “knowledge” which is nothing more than deceiving lies. The  knowledge which illuminates rather than obscures is the knowledge
Tx:2.16  lies. The knowledge which illuminates rather than obscures is the  knowledge which not only sets you free, but which also shows you
Tx:3.30  is to be certain. Uncertainty merely means that you do not know.  Knowledge is power because it is certain, and certainty is strength.
Tx:3.30  certainty, because all perception varies. That is why it is not  knowledge.
Tx:3.31 True perception is the basis for  knowledge, but knowing is the affirmation of truth. All your
Tx:3.32  given time determines what you do, and action must occur in time.  Knowledge is timeless, because certainty is not questionable. You

Tx:3.35  not require action. When you say that you are acting on the basis of  knowledge, you are really confusing perception and cognition.
Tx:3.35  of knowledge, you are really confusing perception and cognition.  Knowledge brings the mental strength for creative thinking but not
Tx:3.35  right doing. Perception, miracles, and doing are closely related.  Knowledge is the result of revelation and induces only thought.
Tx:3.35  Perception involves the body, even in its most spiritualized form.  Knowledge comes from the altar within and is timeless because it is
Tx:3.36  in His Sons. There He can communicate His certainty, and His  knowledge will bring peace without question.
Tx:3.37  stranger to His Sons, and His Sons are not strangers to each other.  Knowledge preceded both perception and time and will ultimately
Tx:3.37  Abraham was I am.” Perception can and must be stabilized, but  knowledge is stable. “Fear God and keep His commandments” should read
Tx:3.38  he is not certain how he will use them. He is therefore incapable of  knowledge, being uncertain. He is also incapable of knowledge,
Tx:3.38  incapable of knowledge, being uncertain. He is also incapable of  knowledge, because he can perceive lovelessly. He cannot create
Tx:3.39  Consciousness is thus the level of perception but not of  knowledge. Again, to perceive is not to know.
Tx:3.43  a fact which clearly demonstrates a lack of association with  knowledge. The term “right-mindedness” is properly used as the
Tx:3.46  This is why perception involves an exchange or translation, which  knowledge does not need. The interpretive function of perception,
Tx:3.47  process of destruction at all. We have already emphasized that  knowledge does not do anything. It can be perceived as an attacker,
Tx:3.48  will to be blocked out. I was a man who remembered the Soul and its  knowledge, and as a man I did not attempt to counteract error with
Tx:3.48  knowledge, and as a man I did not attempt to counteract error with  knowledge so much as to correct error from the bottom up. I
Tx:3.51  made it clear that the resurrection was the means for the return to  knowledge, which was accomplished by the union of my will with the
Tx:3.53  that it has become literally impossible for you to know anything.  Knowledge is always stable, and it is quite evident that human beings

Tx:3.56  resemble his Father only by miraculously perceiving. He has lost the  knowledge that he himself is a miracle. Miraculous creation was his

Tx:3.58  transcends all the laws which govern perception because partial  knowledge is impossible. It is all one and has no separate parts. You
Tx:3.58  You who are really one with it need but know yourself, and your  knowledge is complete. To know God's miracle is to know Him.
Tx:3.63  certainly do not need it to organize yourselves. In the presence of  knowledge, all judgment is automatically suspended, and this is the
Tx:3.75  was possible? The “tree” which was forbidden was named the “tree of  knowledge.” Yet God created knowledge and gave it freely to His
Tx:3.75  was forbidden was named the “tree of knowledge.” Yet God created  knowledge and gave it freely to His creations. The symbolism here has
Tx:3.76 Eating of the fruit of the tree of  knowledge is a symbolic expression for incorporating into the self
Tx:3.77 Images are perceived, not known.  Knowledge cannot deceive, but perception can. Man can perceive
Tx:3.80  salvation are willing death. Life and death, light and darkness,  knowledge and perception are irreconcilable. To believe that they can
Tx:3.80  is to believe that God and man can not. Only the oneness of  knowledge is conflictless. Your kingdom is not of this world because
Tx:4.2  know that I am God.” These words are inspired because they come from  knowledge. If you speak from the ego, you are disclaiming knowledge
Tx:4.2  come from knowledge. If you speak from the ego, you are disclaiming  knowledge instead of affirming it and are thus dispiriting yourself.
Tx:4.26  state is a good example of how the mind made the ego. You do have  knowledge at times, but when you throw it away, it is as if you never
Tx:4.34 The Soul in its  knowledge is unaware of the ego. It does not attack it; it merely
Tx:4.38  status of fact is questionable, because facts are in the realm of  knowledge.
Tx:4.46  from being swept away, as it would surely be in the presence of  knowledge.
Tx:4.48  Against this sense of temporary existence the Soul offers you the  knowledge of permanence and unshakable being. No one who has
Tx:4.52  entered your mind to give up every idea you ever had that opposes  knowledge. You retain thousands of little scraps of meanness which
Tx:4.67  I am not because, if I am real, I am no more real than you are. That  knowledge, and I assure you that it is knowledge, means that Christ
Tx:4.67  more real than you are. That knowledge, and I assure you that it is  knowledge, means that Christ must come into your minds and heal them.
Tx:4.81  It is necessary to do so only because misperception is a block to  knowledge, while accurate perception is a stepping-stone towards it.
Tx:4.82  a continuum nor is it understood by being compared to an opposite.  Knowledge never involves comparisons. That is its essential
Tx:4.86  to the whole Sonship, which includes me, you come as close to  knowledge as perception ever can. The gap is then so small that
Tx:4.86  to knowledge as perception ever can. The gap is then so small that  knowledge can easily flow across it and obliterate it forever. You
Tx:4.90  for you, knowing that to know your brother is to know God. A little  knowledge is an all-encompassing thing. If you are grateful to each
Tx:4.101  returned by that mind through its attitudes to other minds which the  knowledge from the revelation brings.
Tx:5.11  proper in this context because the Holy Inspiration is so close to  knowledge that it calls it forth; or better, allows it to come. We
Tx:5.11  so close to truth that God Himself can flow across the little gap.  Knowledge is always ready to flow everywhere, but it cannot oppose.
Tx:5.11  never lose it. The Holy Spirit is the Christ Mind, which senses the  knowledge that lies beyond perception. It came into being with the
Tx:5.12  and the new situation to which it is transferred. Perception is not  knowledge, but it can be transferred to knowledge or cross over into
Tx:5.12  Perception is not knowledge, but it can be transferred to  knowledge or cross over into it. It might even be more helpful here
Tx:5.15  therefore truly open. This means that, although it does not engender  knowledge, it does not obstruct it in any way. [Third, it is an
Tx:5.21  not know now. God does not guide because He can share only perfect  knowledge. Guidance is evaluative, because it implies that there is a

Tx:5.22  is a conflict state. It means that knowledge has been lost, because  knowledge is sure. God is not in you in a literal sense; you are part

Tx:5.32  the Holy Spirit is the bridge or thought-transfer of perception to  knowledge, so we can use the terms as if they were related, because
Tx:5.38  is the Mediator between the interpretations of the ego and the  knowledge of the Soul. His ability to deal with symbols enables Him
Tx:5.38  but by understanding. Understanding is light, and light leads to  knowledge. The Holy Spirit is in light because He is in you who are
Tx:5.40  are as closely related as are time and war. Perception as well as  knowledge derives meaning from relationships. Those which you accept
Tx:5.44  perception for others because of what you saw in them but less than  knowledge of your real relationships to them, because you did not
Tx:5.44  perception because it introduces meaning. It is, however, below  knowledge even though it can grow towards it. It is possible, with
Tx:5.71 God in His  knowledge is not waiting, but His Kingdom is bereft while you wait.
Tx:5.89 This  knowledge plagued Freud's belief in his own thought system at every
Tx:6.16  necessary to enable the Sonship to know its wholeness. Only this is  knowledge.
Tx:6.31  God, but the Holy Spirit remains the bridge between perception and  knowledge. By enabling you to use perception in a way that parallels
Tx:6.31  knowledge. By enabling you to use perception in a way that parallels  knowledge, you will ultimately meet it and know it. The ego would
Tx:6.40 The Holy Spirit still holds  knowledge safe through His impartial perception. By attacking
Tx:6.44 Only thus can you win back the  knowledge that you threw away. An idea which you share, you must
Tx:6.65  into being, just as He ultimately translates perception into  knowledge. [You do not lose what you communicate.] The ego uses the
Tx:7.6  God is whole. We have said that the last step in the reawakening of  knowledge is taken by God. This is true, but it is hard to explain in
Tx:7.16  of truth, which is the law of the Kingdom, rests only on the  knowledge of what truth is. This is your inheritance and requires no
Tx:7.34  to teach you He is in you. This is an intermediary step toward the  knowledge that you are in God, because you are part of Him. The
Tx:7.37  you do not know what you are. Healing, then, is a way of approaching  knowledge by thinking in accordance with the laws of God and
Tx:7.57  not know your own safety. The ego cannot afford to know anything.  Knowledge is total, and the ego does not believe in totality. This
Tx:7.59  all appreciation, all recognition, all sane perception, and all  knowledge. It perceives their threat as total, because it senses the
Tx:7.64  perceiving in total contradiction to the Holy Spirit and to the  knowledge of God.
Tx:7.65  with meaning only by the Holy Spirit, because your being is the  knowledge of God. Any belief that you accept which is apart from this

Tx:8.1  do not know. The need for the course is implicit in your objection.  Knowledge is not the motivation for learning this course. Peace is.
Tx:8.1  for learning this course. Peace is. As the prerequisite for  knowledge, peace must be learned. This is only because those who are
Tx:8.1  who are in conflict are not peaceful, and peace is the condition of  knowledge, because it is the condition of the Kingdom.
Tx:8.2  Knowledge will be restored when you meet its conditions. This is not
Tx:8.2  of your misuse of His laws on behalf of a will that is not His.  Knowledge is His Will. If you are opposing His Will, how can you have
Tx:8.2  is His Will. If you are opposing His Will, how can you have  knowledge? I have told you what knowledge offers you, but it is clear
Tx:8.2  opposing His Will, how can you have knowledge? I have told you what  knowledge offers you, but it is clear that you do not regard this as
Tx:8.35  as something they do not want, they perceive deception and block  knowledge.
Tx:8.50  this belief, you cannot understand anything. I share with God the  knowledge of the value He puts upon you. My devotion to you is of
Tx:8.50  He puts upon you. My devotion to you is of Him, being born of my  knowledge of myself and Him. We cannot be separated. Whom God has
Tx:8.51 The journey to God is merely the reawakening of the  knowledge of where you are always and what you are forever. It is a
Tx:8.70  the part, but the part does not define the whole. This is as true of  knowledge as it is of perception. The reason to know in part is to
Tx:8.70  is to know entirely is because of the fundamental difference between  knowledge and perception. In perception the whole is built up of
Tx:8.70  which can separate and reassemble in different constellations.  Knowledge never changes, so its constellation is permanent. The only
Tx:8.77  about the ego that is wholly true. But there is a corollary; if  knowledge is being and the ego has no knowledge, then the ego has no
Tx:8.77  But there is a corollary; if knowledge is being and the ego has no  knowledge, then the ego has no being.
Tx:9.27  it is there. That is how perception ultimately is translated into  knowledge. The miracle worker begins by perceiving light and
Tx:9.34  it everywhere. You can know yourself only as God knows His Son, for  knowledge is shared with God. When you awake in Him you will know
Tx:9.40  He looks with love on you. His evaluation of you is based on His  knowledge of what you are, and so He evaluates you truly. And this
Tx:9.44  before that the ego does not know what a real question is. Lack of  knowledge of any kind is always associated with unwillingness to know
Tx:9.44  associated with unwillingness to know and produces a total lack of  knowledge simply because knowledge is total. Not to question your
Tx:9.44  to know and produces a total lack of knowledge simply because  knowledge is total. Not to question your littleness, therefore, is to
Tx:9.44  is total. Not to question your littleness, therefore, is to deny all  knowledge and keep the ego's whole thought system intact. You cannot

Tx:9.68 Unless you know something, you cannot dissociate it.  Knowledge therefore precedes dissociation, and dissociation is

Tx:9.69  Offer the Holy Spirit only your will to remember, for He retains the  knowledge of God and of yourself for you, waiting for your
Tx:9.69  world delay your remembering of Him, for in this remembering is the  knowledge of yourself.
Tx:9.70  do yours, and His return in exchange for yours is the exchange of  knowledge for perception. Nothing is beyond His Will for you. But
Tx:9.79  appreciation for every Soul which God created because of the calm  knowledge that each one is part of Him. God's Son knows no idols, but
Tx:9.86  and because of your ability to evaluate it truly, to let it go.  Knowledge cannot dawn on a mind full of illusions because truth and
Tx:10.5  your need of healing for yourself? For in this lies the beginning of  knowledge, the foundation on which God will help you build again the
Tx:10.21  be as God, for His function became yours with His gift. Invite this  knowledge back into your minds, and let nothing that will obscure it
Tx:10.40 What is healing but the removal of all that stands in the way of  knowledge? And how else can one dispel illusions except by looking at
Tx:10.45  apart from Him? The belief in ego autonomy is costing you the  knowledge of your dependence on God in which your freedom lies. The
Tx:10.72 The perception of goodness is not  knowledge, but the denial of the opposite of goodness enables you to
Tx:10.72  in which opposites do not exist. And this is the condition of  knowledge. Without this awareness, you have not met its conditions,
Tx:10.74  with which your new and only real perception will be translated into  knowledge will leave you only an instant to realize that this
Tx:10.75  re-interpretation of the world is the transfer of all perception to  knowledge. The Bible tells you to become as little children. Little
Tx:11.13  denial of union and, correctly interpreted, attests to your eternal  knowledge that union is true.

Tx:11.59  led you to Christ at the altar to His Father, perception fuses into  knowledge because perception has become so holy that its transfer to
Tx:11.59  is universal. When this has been accomplished, perception and  knowledge have become so similar that they share the unification of
Tx:11.60  separate, and the denial of the separation is the reinstatement of  knowledge. At the altar of God, the holy perception of God's Son

Tx:11.84  last have seen truly. Redeemed perception is easily translated into  knowledge, for only perception is capable of error, and perception
Tx:11.84  and perception has never been. Being corrected, it gives place to  knowledge, which is forever the only reality. The Atonement is but
Tx:11.87  the Father Who drove him out of paradise. For in that belief, the  knowledge of the Father was lost, since only those who do not
Tx:12.67  Holy Spirit corrects the world of dreams, where all perception is.  Knowledge needs no correction. Yet the dreams of love lead unto
Tx:12.67  is. Knowledge needs no correction. Yet the dreams of love lead unto  knowledge. In them you see nothing fearful, and because of this, they
Tx:12.67  fearful, and because of this, they are the welcome that you offer  knowledge. Love waits on welcome, not on time, and the real world is
Tx:13.1  that the past does not exist, a fact which belongs to the sphere of  knowledge and which therefore no one in the world knows. It would
Tx:13.1  knows. It would indeed be impossible to be in the world with this  knowledge. For the mind that knows this unequivocally knows also that
Tx:13.2 The very real difference between perception and  knowledge becomes quite apparent if you consider this: There is
Tx:13.2  quite apparent if you consider this: There is nothing partial about  knowledge. Every aspect is whole, and therefore no aspect is
Tx:13.2  is whole, and therefore no aspect is separate. You are an aspect of  knowledge, being in the Mind of God, Who knows you. All knowledge
Tx:13.2  an aspect of knowledge, being in the Mind of God, Who knows you. All  knowledge must be yours, for in you is all knowledge. Perception at
Tx:13.2  God, Who knows you. All knowledge must be yours, for in you is all  knowledge. Perception at its loftiest is never complete. Even the
Tx:13.3 Perfect perception, then, has many elements in common with  knowledge, making transfer to it possible. Yet the last step must be
Tx:13.7  in the redemption and who are seeking you and where to find them.  Knowledge is far beyond your individual concern. You, who are part of
Tx:13.8 When you have seen your brothers as yourself, you will be released to  knowledge, having learned to free yourself of Him Who knows of
Tx:13.19  guilt where God knows there is perfect innocence? You can deny His  knowledge, but you cannot change it. Look, then, upon the light He
Tx:13.48  are blessed and do not know it, you need to learn it must be so. The  knowledge is not taught, but its conditions must be acquired, for it
Tx:13.62  the conditions of learning here, as he also meets the conditions of  knowledge in the Kingdom. All this lies in the Holy Spirit's plan to
Tx:13.80  so frantically to anticipate all that you cannot know when all  knowledge lies behind every decision which the Holy Spirit makes for
Tx:13.88  He has always done. Giving Himself is all He knows, and so it is all  knowledge. For what He knows not cannot be and therefore cannot be
Tx:13.89  You need not understand creation to do what must be done before that  knowledge would be meaningful to you. God breaks no barriers; neither
Tx:14.1  Accepting His Son as guilty is denial of the Father so complete that  knowledge is swept away from recognition in the very mind where God
Tx:14.4  only to the Holy Spirit in your mind because only He shares the  knowledge of what you are with God. And only the Holy Spirit can
Tx:14.24 What do you want? Light or darkness,  knowledge or ignorance are yours, but not both. Opposites must be
Tx:14.24  union. As darkness disappears in light, so ignorance fades away when  knowledge dawns. Perception is the medium by which ignorance is
Tx:14.24  dawns. Perception is the medium by which ignorance is brought to  knowledge. Yet the perception must be without deceit, for otherwise
Tx:14.30  to share with Him the interpretation of perception that leads to  knowledge.
Tx:14.36  God is, there are you. Such is the truth. Nothing can change the  knowledge given you by God into unknowingness. Everything God created
Tx:14.38  Keep not your making from your Father, for hiding it has cost you  knowledge of Him and of yourselves. The knowledge is safe, but
Tx:14.38  for hiding it has cost you knowledge of Him and of yourselves. The  knowledge is safe, but wherein is your safety apart from it? The
Tx:14.46  God and His creations, or between His Children and their own, the  knowledge of creation must continue forever. The reflections which
Tx:14.58 Yet the essential thing is learning that you do not know.  Knowledge is power, and all power is of God. You who have tried to
Tx:15.63  But remember that understanding is of the mind and only of the mind.  Knowledge is therefore of the mind, and its conditions are in the
Tx:15.85  accepted it as the only perception you want, it is translated into  knowledge by the part which God Himself plays in the Atonement, for
Tx:16.6  to a brother. And yet you know no triumph but this. This is not  knowledge, and the form of empathy that would bring this about is so
Tx:16.15  speaks for Him. For His task is to translate the miracle into the  knowledge which it represents and which is lost to you. Let His
Tx:16.39 The bridge that leads to union in yourself must lead to  knowledge, for it was built with God beside you and will lead you
Tx:16.39  your Father. Every fantasy, be it of love or hate, deprives you of  knowledge, for fantasies are the veil behind which truth is hidden.
Tx:18.5  original error, which seemed to cast you out of Heaven, to shatter  knowledge into meaningless bits of disunited perceptions, and to
Tx:18.25  to truth. You know this. The goal which you accepted is the goal of  knowledge, for which you signified your willingness. Fear seems to
Tx:18.41  your dreams of fear to happy dreams from which you waken easily to  knowledge. Put yourself not in charge of this, for you cannot

Tx:20.16  a distortion and calls upon defenses to uphold it against reality.  Knowledge requires no adjustment and in fact is lost if any shift or
Tx:21.55 Oh yes, you know this and more than this alone. Yet any part of  knowledge threatens dissociation as much as all of it. And all of it
Tx:21.56  partially insane have access to it, and only they have need of it.  Knowledge does not depend on it, and madness keeps it out.
Tx:21.57  those who use it have gained a means which cannot be applied to sin.  Knowledge is far beyond attainment of any kind. But reason can serve
Tx:25.25 Perception rests on choosing;  knowledge does not. Knowledge has but one law because it has but one
Tx:25.25 Perception rests on choosing; knowledge does not.  Knowledge has but one law because it has but one Creator. But this

Tx:26.20  partial truth, a segment of the universe made true. This is because  knowledge makes no attack upon perception. They are brought together,
Tx:26.21  upon this world. It is the judgment of the truth upon illusion, of  knowledge on perception—it has no meaning and does not exist. This
Tx:26.34  it had come. What disappeared too quickly to affect the simple  knowledge of the Son of God can hardly still be there for you to
Tx:26.48  fulfilled. Perception changes, made to take the place of changeless  knowledge. Yet is truth unchanged. It cannot be perceived, but only
Tx:26.49 Perception's laws are opposite to truth, and what is true of  knowledge is not true of anything that is apart from it. Yet has God

W1:139.12 We have not lost the  knowledge that God gave to us when He created us like Him. We can

W1:158.1 What has been given you? The  knowledge that you are a mind, in Mind and purely mind, sinless
W1:158.1  your Source, remaining as you were created. This was given you as  knowledge which you cannot lose. It was given as well to every living
W1:158.1  cannot lose. It was given as well to every living thing, for by that  knowledge only does it live.
W1:158.2  this. No one who walks the world but has received it. It is not this  knowledge which you give, for that is what creation gave. All this
W1:158.5  But vision is his gift. This he can give directly, for Christ's  knowledge is not lost because He has a vision He can give to anyone
W1:158.5  can give to anyone who asks. The Father's Will and His are joined in  knowledge. Yet there is a vision which the Holy Spirit sees because
W1:158.11  is not of time. Yet time has still one gift to give in which true  knowledge is reflected in a way so accurate its image shares its
W1:160.7  of what belongs to Him. No stranger can be interposed between His  knowledge and His Son's reality. He does not know of strangers. He is
W1:168.4  by which this world will disappear, and vision first will come with  knowledge but an instant later. For in grace you see a light that

Tx:8.8 There is a rationale for choice. Only one Teacher  knows what your reality is. If learning that is the purpose of the

Tx:8.17  upon you, being an experience of total willingness. The Holy Spirit  knows how to teach this, but you do not. That is why you need Him and
Tx:8.39  God's. Would you know the Will of God for you? Ask it of me who  knows it for you, and you will find it. I will deny you nothing, as
Tx:8.47  can understand it, and no one can know his function unless he  knows who he is. Creation is the Will of God. His Will created you to

Tx:9.34  until you see it everywhere. You can know yourself only as God  knows His Son, for knowledge is shared with God. When you awake in
Tx:9.44  against the reality of the ego's thought system merely because He  knows its foundation is not true. Therefore, nothing that arises from

Tx:9.104  wholly sinless, it is blasphemous to perceive them as guilty. If God  knows His Children as wholly without pain, it is blasphemous to
Tx:9.104  pain, it is blasphemous to perceive suffering anywhere. If God  knows His Children to be wholly joyous, it is blasphemous to feel
Tx:10.18  He needs it because he does not understand himself and therefore  knows not what he does. Having forgotten his will, he does not know
Tx:10.23  for that is not God's Will for His Son. Pain is not of Him, for He  knows no attack and His peace surrounds you silently. God is very

Tx:10.37  God's altar Christ waits for the restoration of Himself in you. God  knows His Son as wholly blameless as Himself, and He is approached
Tx:10.62  as it will ever be, for the resurrection is the Will of God, which  knows no time and no exceptions. But make no exceptions yourself, or
Tx:10.89  and monsters and dragons. Ask of their reality from the One who  knows it, and He will tell you what they are. For you do not
Tx:11.23  how to offer to the Holy Spirit everything you do not want. He  knows what to do with it. You do not know how to use what He knows.
Tx:11.23  He knows what to do with it. You do not know how to use what He  knows. Whatever is revealed to Him that is not of God is gone. Yet
Tx:11.40  for you do not believe your home is there. Yet the Holy Spirit  knows it for you, and He will guide you to your home because that is

Tx:11.56  To open the eyes of the blind is the Holy Spirit's mission, for He  knows that they have not lost their vision but merely sleep. He would

Tx:11.59  in God. Christ's love for you is His love for His Father, which He  knows because He knows His Father's love for Him. When the Holy
Tx:11.59  love for you is His love for His Father, which He knows because He  knows His Father's love for Him. When the Holy Spirit has at last led
Tx:11.74  fully believes that you are a criminal, as deserving of death as God  knows you are deserving of life. The death penalty never leaves the
Tx:11.78 God's Son is as safe as his Father, for the Son  knows his Father's protection and cannot fear. His Father's love
Tx:11.79  The definition of reality is God's, not yours. He created it, and He  knows what it is. You who knew have forgotten, and unless He had
Tx:11.92  never touch him, for although he believes in it, the Holy Spirit  knows it is not true. The Holy Spirit stands at the end of time,
Tx:11.99  it has never been. As He looks upon the guiltless Son of God, he  knows this is true. And being true for you, you cannot attack
Tx:12.43  Christ's vision He beholds Himself. And seeing what He is, He  knows His Father. Beyond your darkest dreams, He sees God's guiltless
Tx:12.68  the answer is a joyous yes! As Mediator between the two worlds, He  knows what you have need of and what will not hurt you. Ownership is
Tx:12.70 Only the Holy Spirit  knows what you need. For He will give you all things that do not
Tx:12.70  take nothing from you as long as you have any need of it. And yet He  knows that everything you need is temporary and will but last until
Tx:12.70  that you will not use them on behalf of lingering in time. He  knows that you are not at home there, and He wills no delay to wait
Tx:13.1  to the sphere of knowledge and which therefore no one in the world  knows. It would indeed be impossible to be in the world with this
Tx:13.1  impossible to be in the world with this knowledge. For the mind that  knows this unequivocally knows also that it dwells in eternity and
Tx:13.1  with this knowledge. For the mind that knows this unequivocally  knows also that it dwells in eternity and utilizes no perception at

Tx:13.19  faith your Father has in you. He does not value you as you do. He  knows Himself and knows the truth in you. He knows there is no
Tx:13.19  has in you. He does not value you as you do. He knows Himself and  knows the truth in you. He knows there is no difference, for He knows
Tx:13.19  value you as you do. He knows Himself and knows the truth in you. He  knows there is no difference, for He knows not of differences. Can
Tx:13.19  and knows the truth in you. He knows there is no difference, for He  knows not of differences. Can you see guilt where God knows there is
Tx:13.19  for He knows not of differences. Can you see guilt where God  knows there is perfect innocence? You can deny His knowledge, but you
Tx:13.26  have Him do and has always done so. He has seen separation, but  knows of union. He teaches healing, but He also knows of creation. He
Tx:13.26  seen separation, but knows of union. He teaches healing, but He also  knows of creation. He would have you see and teach as He does, and
Tx:13.26  have you see and teach as He does, and through Him. Yet what He  knows, you do not know, though it is yours.
Tx:13.38  must be true. He has perfect faith in your final judgment because He  knows that He will make it for you. To doubt this would be to doubt
Tx:13.43  you Heaven and will always will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit  knows only of His Will. There is no chance that Heaven will not be
Tx:13.51  to nothing. Yet in him who made this insane logic, there is One Who  knows it leads to nothing, for He knows everything.
Tx:13.51  insane logic, there is One Who knows it leads to nothing, for He  knows everything.
Tx:13.52  Holy Spirit leads you not goes nowhere. Anything you deny which He  knows to be true, you have denied yourself, and He must therefore
Tx:13.59 Like you, the Holy Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He  knows it to be true. He brings the light of truth into the darkness
Tx:13.74  bring to them all that they need, coming as naturally as peace that  knows no limits. There is nothing their wills will not provide that
Tx:13.75  decisions for yourself. You are not bereft of help, and Help that  knows the answer. Would you be content with little, which is all that
Tx:13.75  it not therefore of yourselves. Instead, accept His answer, for He  knows that you are worthy of everything God wills for you. Do not try
Tx:13.75  you. You need not decide whether or not you are deserving of it. God  knows you are.
Tx:13.77 The One Who  knows the plan of God which God would have you follow can teach you
Tx:13.77  what salvation is and what you would be saved from. The Holy Spirit  knows that all salvation is escape from guilt. You have no other

Tx:13.84 He leadeth me and  knows the way, which I know not. Yet He will never keep from me what
Tx:13.84  have me learn. And so I trust Him to communicate to me all that He  knows for me.
Tx:13.88  give Himself to you as He has always done. Giving Himself is all He  knows, and so it is all knowledge. For what He knows not cannot be
Tx:13.88  Himself is all He knows, and so it is all knowledge. For what He  knows not cannot be and therefore cannot be given. Ask not to be
Tx:13.90  yourself. He created you out of Himself but still within Him. He  knows what you are. Remember that there is no second to Him. There
Tx:13.91  decisions to the One Who speaks for God and for your function as He  knows it. So will He teach you to remove the awful burden you have
Tx:13.92  not delay at all in answering your every question what to do. He  knows. And He will tell you and then do it for you. You who are tired
Tx:14.2  perfect gentleness. Would you know of One Who gives forever and Who  knows of nothing except giving?
Tx:14.4  God. And only the Holy Spirit can answer God for you, for only He  knows what God is. Everything else that you have placed within your
Tx:14.6  perfect as yours is fallible. You know not what you do, but He Who  knows is with you. His gentleness is yours, and all the love you
Tx:14.13  not of us but of our Father. In guiltlessness we know Him, as He  knows us guiltless. I stand within the circle, calling you to peace.
Tx:14.20  All things you made have use to Him for His most holy purpose. He  knows you are not separate from God, but He perceives much in your
Tx:14.21  to Him. He will interpret it to you with perfect clarity, for He  knows with Whom you are in perfect communication.
Tx:14.26  From their point of view, it is not true. Yet it is true because God  knows it. These are clearly opposite viewpoints of what the
Tx:14.28  no protection does not defend itself. Defense is of your making. God  knows it not. The Holy Spirit uses defenses on behalf of truth only
Tx:14.29  He can fulfill what God has given Him to do. Leave that to Him Who  knows. You are not asked to do mighty tasks yourself. You are merely
Tx:14.36  given you by God into unknowingness. Everything God created  knows its Creator. For this is how creation is accomplished by the

Tx:14.43  him. He recognizes it because he has been taught his need for it but  knows not where to look to find it. Let him, then, see it in you and
Tx:14.55  with which He answers you. Everyone seeks for love as you do and  knows it not unless he joins with you in seeking it. If you undertake

Tx:20.43  that hides the gift hides him as well. He is the gift, and yet he  knows it not. No more do you. And yet, have faith that He Who sees
Tx:20.44  watching over you in love and perfect confidence in what He sees. He  knows the Son of God and shares his Father's certainty the universe
Tx:20.44  and know it rests in safety? He looks upon himself not as his Father  knows him. And yet it is impossible the confidence of God should be
Tx:21.11  of the Son of God, whom you know well. Here is the sight of him who  knows his Father. Here is the memory of what you are—a part of

Tx:21.44  Holy Spirit's purpose was accepted by the part of your mind the ego  knows not of. No more did you. And yet this part with which you now
Tx:21.44  with which you now identify is not afraid to look upon itself. It  knows no sin. How, otherwise, could it have been willing to see the
Tx:21.54  your will must be included. Thus, there must be a part of you that  knows His Will and shares it. It is not meaningful to ask if what
Tx:21.54  salvation is complete. And it must be complete because its Source  knows not of incompletion. Where would the answer be but in the
Tx:21.87  for His creation. Sure in its vision as its Creator is in what He  knows, it looks on everything and sees it is the same. It sees not

Tx:22.52  as certain of the outcome as He is sure of His Creator's love. He  knows this mad decision was made by one as dear to His Creator as
Tx:22.59  and toward each other. And let the darkness be dispelled by Him Who  knows the light and lays it gently in each quiet smile of faith and

Tx:24.40 The Christ in you is very still. He looks on what He loves and  knows it as Himself. And thus does He rejoice at what He sees because

Tx:24.51  as lovingly as He conceived of you before the world began and as He  knows you still. God changes not His Mind about His Son with passing
Tx:25.9  His purpose still is one with both the Father and the Son, He  knows the Will of God and what you really will. But this is

Tx:25.65 There is a kind of justice in salvation of which the world  knows nothing. To the world, justice and vengeance are the same, for

Tx:7.10  it governs are very different from the thoughts in the Kingdom.  Laws must be adapted to circumstances if they are to maintain order.
Tx:7.11 The outstanding characteristic of the  laws of mind as they operate in this world is that by obeying them—
Tx:7.11  you can arrive at diametrically opposed results. This is because the  laws have adapted to the circumstances of this world, in which
Tx:7.11  world, in which diametrically opposed outcomes are believed in. The  laws of mind govern thoughts, and you do respond to two conflicting
Tx:7.15  Laws must be communicated if they are to be helpful. In effect, they
Tx:7.15  meaning is retained. The Holy Spirit is the translator of the  laws of God to those who do not understand them. You could not do

Tx:7.33  comes from the Voice for God, and certainty comes from the  laws of God. Healing does not come directly from God, Who knows His

Tx:7.34  part of creation is of one order. This is God's Will and yours. The  laws of God establish this, and the Holy Spirit reminds you of it.
Tx:7.34  Spirit reminds you of it. When you heal, you are remembering the  laws of God and forgetting the laws of the ego. We said before that
Tx:7.34  you heal, you are remembering the laws of God and forgetting the  laws of the ego. We said before that forgetting is merely a way of
Tx:7.36  without this belief. This perception is therefore in accord with the  laws of God, even in a state of mind which is out of accord with His.
Tx:7.37  is a way of approaching knowledge by thinking in accordance with the  laws of God and recognizing their universality. Without this
Tx:7.37  their universality. Without this recognition, you have made the  laws themselves meaningless to you. Yet the laws are not meaningless,
Tx:7.37  you have made the laws themselves meaningless to you. Yet the  laws are not meaningless, since all meaning is contained by them and
Tx:7.38 Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven, because that is where the  laws of God operate truly, and they can operate only truly since they
Tx:7.38  operate truly, and they can operate only truly since they are the  laws of Truth. But seek this only because you can find nothing else.
Tx:7.46  on, because it is inspired by His Voice and is in accord with His  laws. Yet if healing is consistence, it cannot be inconsistently
Tx:7.71  of the Holy Spirit, [the law becomes as beneficent as all of the  laws of God. Stated positively,] the law requires you to recognize
Tx:7.84  up and free yourself. The ego, using its own warped version of the  laws of God, utilizes the power of the mind only to defeat the mind's
Tx:7.87  It is the distorted product of the misapplication of the  laws of God by distorted minds which are misusing their own power.
Tx:7.107  The world goes against your nature, being out of accord with God's  laws. The world perceives orders of difficulty in everything. This is
Tx:8.2  Who makes no bargains. It is merely the result of your misuse of His  laws on behalf of a will that is not His. Knowledge is His Will. If
Tx:8.25  in all. His peace is complete, and you must be included in it. His  laws govern you, because they govern everything. You cannot exempt
Tx:8.25  because they govern everything. You cannot exempt yourself from His  laws, although you can disobey them. Yet if you do, and only if you
Tx:8.102  your eyes, you will not see because you are interfering with the  laws of seeing. If you deny love, you will not know it because your

Tx:8.102  law of its being. You cannot change laws you did not make, and the  laws of happiness were created for you, not by you.
Tx:8.117  much for little is to believe that you can bargain with God. God's  laws are always fair and perfectly consistent. By giving you receive.
Tx:9.29  and not yourself, you will understand that you are not obeying the  laws of this world, but that the laws you are obeying work. “The good

Tx:9.68  dissociated material is accepted, it ceases to be fearful, for the  laws of mind always hold.
Tx:9.80  A whole mind is not idolatrous and does not know of conflicting  laws. I will heal you merely because I have only one message, and it
Tx:9.88 God's  laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace is His Will, and
Tx:9.88  will keep your minds at peace, because peace is His Will, and His  laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of freedom, but
Tx:9.88  is His Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the  laws of freedom, but yours are the laws of bondage. Since freedom and

Tx:9.88  The laws of God work only for your good, and there are no other  laws beside His. Everything else is merely lawless and therefore
Tx:9.88  chaotic. Yet God Himself has protected everything He created by His  laws. Therefore, everything that is not under them does not exist.
Tx:9.89  and accepting it of them. All this has never been. Nothing but the  laws of God has ever operated, and nothing except His Will will ever
Tx:9.89  nothing except His Will will ever be. You were created through His  laws and by His Will, and the manner of your creation established you
Tx:9.90  And if it is so for Him, it is so for you. His definitions are His  laws, for by them He established the universe as what it is. No false
Tx:10.8  then, could you know your creations, having denied infinity? The  laws of the universe do not permit contradiction. What holds for God
Tx:10.32  the Father without believing that the Father has denied him? God's  laws hold only for your protection, and they never hold in vain. What
Tx:10.40  is obviously to recognize that what has no effects does not exist.  Laws do not operate in a vacuum, and what leads to nothing has not
Tx:10.54 The ego's interpretation of the  laws of perception are, and would have to be, the exact opposite of
Tx:11.59  have become so similar that they share the unification of the  laws of God.
Tx:11.86  this is so. For this world is the symbol of punishment, and all the  laws which seem to govern it are the laws of death. Children are born
Tx:11.86  of punishment, and all the laws which seem to govern it are the  laws of death. Children are born into it through pain and in pain.
Tx:12.56 Awakening unto Christ is following the  laws of love of your free will and out of quiet recognition of the

Tx:13.11  breaches are severely punished. Therefore give no obedience to its  laws, for they are laws of punishment. And those who follow them
Tx:13.11  punished. Therefore give no obedience to its laws, for they are  laws of punishment. And those who follow them believe that they are

Tx:15.60  can only give. And this is love, for this alone is natural under the  laws of God.
Tx:15.61 In the holy instant, the  laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning. The laws of this
Tx:15.61  instant, the laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning. The  laws of this world cease to hold any meaning at all. When the Son of
Tx:15.61  cease to hold any meaning at all. When the Son of God accepts the  laws of God as what he gladly wills, it is impossible that he be
Tx:18.62  calls to you to be yourself within its safe embrace. There are the  laws of limit lifted for you, to welcome you to openness of mind and
Tx:20.28  you unless you give it the power to do so. For you give power as the  laws of this world interpret giving—as you give, you lose. It is
Tx:20.29  as the Holy Spirit interprets it.] It is the reawakening of the  laws of God in minds that have established other laws and given them
Tx:20.29  reawakening of the laws of God in minds that have established other  laws and given them power to enforce what God created not.
Tx:20.30 Your insane  laws were made to guarantee that you would make mistakes and give
Tx:20.30  you see your own. For this you share. What God has given follows His  laws and His alone. Nor is it possible for those who follow them to
Tx:20.34  they rest, the face of Christ shines on them, and they remember the  laws of God, forgetting all the rest and yearning only to have His
Tx:20.34  laws of God, forgetting all the rest and yearning only to have His  laws perfectly fulfilled in them and all their brothers. Think you
Tx:20.37  in him. And there he finds his function of restoring his Father's  laws to what was held outside them and finding what was lost. Only in
Tx:20.43  Would you exchange this gift for any other? This gift returns the  laws of God to your remembrance. And merely by remembering them, the
Tx:20.43  laws of God to your remembrance. And merely by remembering them, the  laws that held you prisoner to pain and death must be forgotten. This

Tx:20.73  right, bringing them gently within the kindly sway of Heaven's  laws. What if you recognized this world is an hallucination? What if
Tx:21.49  world you see. It literally picks it out as the mind directs. The  laws of size and shape and brightness would hold, perhaps, if other
Tx:23.19  of chaos can be brought to light, though never understood. Chaotic  laws are hardly meaningful and therefore out of reason's sphere. Yet
Tx:23.19  purpose to make meaningless and to attack the truth. Here are the  laws that rule the world you made. And yet they govern nothing and
Tx:23.23  has done both to himself and his Creator. The arrogance on which the  laws of chaos stand could not be more apparent than emerges here.
Tx:23.27  that you can never take away save from yourself. Yet all the other  laws must lead to this. For enemies do not give willingly to one
Tx:23.31  a world where meaning can be found, consider this: [These are the  laws on which your “sanity” appears to rest.] These are the
Tx:23.31  feet seem solid. And it is here you look for meaning. These are the  laws you made for your salvation. They hold in place the substitute
Tx:23.32  a kindness, hatred love and murder benediction, is the goal the  laws of chaos serve. These are the means by which the laws of God
Tx:23.32  the goal the laws of chaos serve. These are the means by which the  laws of God appear to be reversed. Here do the laws of sin appear to
Tx:23.32  means by which the laws of God appear to be reversed. Here do the  laws of sin appear to hold love captive and let sin go free.
Tx:23.33  the goals of chaos, for by the great reversal, they appear to be the  laws of order. How could it not be so? Chaos is lawlessness and has
Tx:23.33  of order. How could it not be so? Chaos is lawlessness and has no  laws. To be believed, its seeming laws must be perceived as real.
Tx:23.33  Chaos is lawlessness and has no laws. To be believed, its seeming  laws must be perceived as real. Their goal of madness must be seen as
Tx:23.33  its substitute, the savior from salvation. How lovely do the  laws of fear make death appear! Give thanks unto the hero on love's
Tx:23.34 And yet, how can it be that  laws like these can be believed? There is a strange device that makes
Tx:23.36  maintain and think it true that you do not believe these senseless  laws nor act upon them. And when you look at what they say, they
Tx:23.38 The  laws of chaos govern all illusions. Their forms conflict, making it
Tx:23.38  above the others. Yet each one rests as surely on the belief the  laws of chaos are the laws of order as do the others. Each one
Tx:23.38  Yet each one rests as surely on the belief the laws of chaos are the  laws of order as do the others. Each one upholds these laws

Tx:24.52  its laws of violence and death. Yet it is given you to be beyond its  laws in all respects, in every way, and every circumstance, in all
Tx:24.53 Look on your brother and behold in him the whole reversal of the  laws that seem to rule this world. See in his freedom yours, for such
Tx:24.57  see God's glory in His Son, whom you mistook as flesh and bound to  laws that have no power over him at all.

Tx:24.58  part of God holds not for all the rest. You place yourself under the  laws you see as ruling him. Think, then, how great the love of God
Tx:25.24 God's  laws do not obtain directly to a world perception rules, for such a
Tx:25.24  created by the Mind to which perception has no meaning. Yet are His  laws reflected everywhere. Not that the world where this reflection

W1:38.1 Your holiness reverses all the  laws of the world. It is beyond every restriction of time, space,
W1:49.1  part of your mind that functions in the world and obeys the world's  laws. It is this part which is constantly distracted, disorganized,
W1:53.3  rules a world which represents chaotic thinking, and chaos has no  laws. I cannot live in peace in such a world. I am grateful that this
W1:57.5  the world as a place of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the  laws of God instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey. I

W1:76.4 It is insanity that thinks these things. You call them  laws and put them under different names in a long catalogue of
W1:76.5 These are not  laws, but madness. The body is endangered by the mind that hurts

W1:76.7  the laws of God set free. The light has come because there are no  laws but His.
W1:76.8  we have believed we must obey. These would include, for example, the  laws of nutrition, of immunization, of medication, and of the body's
W1:76.8  protection in innumerable ways. Think further—you believe in the  laws of friendship, of “good” relationships, and reciprocity.
W1:76.9 Perhaps you even think that there are  laws which set forth what is God's and what is yours. Many
W1:76.10 There are no  laws but God's. Dismiss all foolish magical beliefs today and hold
W1:76.10  You will be listening to One Who says there is no loss under the  laws of God. Payment is neither given nor received. Exchange cannot

W1:76.11 Hear Him Who tells you this, and realize how foolish are the  laws you thought upheld the world you thought you saw. Then listen
W1:76.12  will speak of this to us, as well as of the joys of Heaven which His  laws keep limitless forever. We will repeat today's idea until we
W1:76.12  today's idea until we have listened and understood there are no  laws but God's. Then we will tell ourselves as a dedication with
W1:76.13 I am under no  laws but God's.
W1:76.14  to any temptation to experience ourselves as subject to other  laws throughout the day. It is our statement of freedom from all
W1:77.2  Father is. It was ensured in your creation and guaranteed by the  laws of God.
W1:77.4  you are upholding the rights of everyone. Miracles do not obey the  laws of this world. They merely follow from the laws of God.
W1:77.4  do not obey the laws of this world. They merely follow from the  laws of God.
W1:88.5 [76] I am under no  laws but God's. Here is the perfect statement of my freedom. I am
W1:88.5  God's. Here is the perfect statement of my freedom. I am under no  laws but God's. I am constantly tempted to make up other laws and
W1:88.5  am under no laws but God's. I am constantly tempted to make up other  laws and give them power over me. I suffer only because of my belief

W1:127.5 No  laws the world obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the
W1:127.6 Today we practice making free our minds of all the  laws you think you must obey, of all the limits under which you live,
W1:133.4 The  laws which govern choice you cannot make, no more than you can make
W1:133.4  choosing you can do; indeed you must. But it is wise to learn the  laws you set in motion when you choose and what alternatives you
W1:134.2  pardon this is meaningless. All truth belongs to Him, reflects His  laws and radiates His Love. Does this need pardon? How can you
W1:134.13  no thought in all the world which leads to any understanding of the  laws it follows nor the thought which it reflects. It is as alien to
W1:136.11  truth turned into lies, and all the universe made slave to  laws which your defenses would impose on it. Yet who believes
W1:136.12  your plans to change His Will. The universe remains unheeding of the  laws by which you thought to govern it. And Heaven has not bowed to
W1:136.20  limited by time, by weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any  laws you made it serve before. You need do nothing now to make it
W1:137.2  wall of sickened flesh which it cannot surmount. The world obeys the  laws that sickness serves, but healing operates apart from them.
W1:137.7  truth. When sickness has been seen to disappear in spite of all the  laws that hold it cannot but be real, then questions have been
W1:137.7  it cannot but be real, then questions have been answered. And the  laws can be no longer cherished nor obeyed.
W1:137.8  the truth. Healing is shared. And by this attribute, it proves that  laws unlike the ones which hold that sickness is inevitable are more
W1:137.9  can be yours, how little practice you need undertake to let His  laws replace the ones you made to hold yourself a prisoner to death.
W1:154.4  apart salvation from the world. It is this Voice which speaks of  laws the world does not obey, which promises salvation from all sin,
W1:157.3  enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its  laws and walk into eternity a while. This you will learn to do
W1:159.1  a thing requires first you have it in your own possession. Here the  laws of Heaven and the world agree. But here they also separate. The
W1:199.2  serves the Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways, beyond the  laws of time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and with
W1:204.1  Name reminds me that I am His Son, not slave to time, unbound by  laws which rule the world of sick illusions, free in God, forever and
W2:277.1  Son is free, my Father. Let me not imagine I have bound him with the  laws I made to rule the body. He is not subject to any laws I made by
W2:277.1  him with the laws I made to rule the body. He is not subject to any  laws I made by which I try to make the body more secure. He is not
W2:277.1  He is not changed by what is changeable. He is not slave to any  laws of time. He is as You created him, because he knows no laws
W2:277.1  to any laws of time. He is as You created him, because he knows no  laws except the Law of Love.
W2:277.2 Let us not worship idols nor believe in any  laws idolatry would make to hide the freedom of the Son of God. He is
W2:278.1  Father prisoner with me. And this do I believe when I maintain the  laws the world obeys must I obey—the frailties and the sins which I
W2:329.1 Father, I thought I wandered from Your Will, defied it, broke its  laws, and interposed a second will more powerful than Yours. Yet what
W2:WIE.4  is not to see the ego and its thoughts, its works, its acts, its  laws and its beliefs, its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its
W2:346.1  and so I will not look upon them. What I seek today transcends all  laws of time and things perceived in time. I would forget all things
W2:346.1  forget all things except Your Love. I would abide in You and know no  laws except Your law of Love. And I would find the peace which You

Tx:14.33  valued, He will replace with the one promise given unto Him to  lay upon the altar to your Father and His Son. No altar stands to God
Tx:14.37  with its One Creator. And Heaven remains the Will of God for you.  Lay no gifts other than this upon your altars, for nothing can
Tx:14.38  apart from it? The making of time to take the place of timelessness  lay in the decision to be not as you were. Thus, truth was made past,
Tx:14.46  holiness as surely as the reflection of holiness calls everyone to  lay all guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven here and bring this

Tx:25.67  demanded of the ones obsessed with the idea of punishment that they  lay it aside unaided and perceive it is not true? It is extremely

Tx:5.63  it, is capable of creating reality. We said before that you must  learn to think with God. To think with Him is to think like Him. This
Tx:5.64  And you will succeed. The ego regards this as doom, but you must  learn to regard it as freedom. The guiltless mind cannot suffer.
Tx:5.81  towards the Sonship in the name of its Creator. What you need to  learn now is that only infinite patience can produce immediate
Tx:6.9 We have said before, “As you teach, so shall you  learn.” If you react as if you are persecuted, you are teaching
Tx:6.13  not have equal experiences. The Holy Spirit is glad when you can  learn enough from mine to be re-awakened by them. That was their only
Tx:6.14  by enabling yourselves to hear the Holy Spirit in others, you can  learn from their experiences and gain from them without experiencing
Tx:6.24  limit and must be used for their joint salvation. Each one must  learn to teach that all forms of rejection are utterly meaningless.
Tx:6.40  will be part of it, but through the ego you can hear and teach and  learn what is not true. From this, which you have made, you have
Tx:6.41  only one lesson. If you are to be conflict-free yourselves, you must  learn only from the Holy Spirit and teach only by Him. You are only
Tx:6.41  but when you denied this, you made what you are something you must  learn. We said before that the message of the crucifixion was, “Teach
Tx:6.41  it is the only lesson which is one. Only by teaching it can you  learn it. “As you teach, so will you learn.” If that is true, and it
Tx:6.41  Only by teaching it can you learn it. “As you teach, so will you  learn.” If that is true, and it is true indeed, you must never forget
Tx:6.43  exact opposite of everything the ego believes. This is how you will  learn the truth that will set you free and keep you so, as others
Tx:6.43  learn the truth that will set you free and keep you so, as others  learn it of you. The only way to have peace is to teach peace. By
Tx:6.44  Everything you teach, you are learning. Teach only love, and  learn that love is yours and you are love.
Tx:6.59  what you must avoid to escape from harm so much as what you need to  learn to have joy. This is true even of the world's teachers.
Tx:6.70  in attack and rejection, so this is what they perceive and teach and  learn. These insane concepts are clearly the result of their own
Tx:6.73  real reason why in many respects the first lesson is the hardest to  learn. Still strongly aware of the ego in himself and responding
Tx:6.78 To have peace, teach peace to  learn it.
Tx:6.84  of other minds, because He does not want you to teach errors and  learn them yourselves. He would hardly be consistent if He allowed
Tx:6.84  hardly be consistent if He allowed you to strengthen what you must  learn to avoid. In the mind of the thinker, then, He is judgmental,
Tx:6.84  This enables the mind to teach without judgment and therefore to  learn to be without judgment. The undoing is necessary only in your

Tx:6.90  having rests on giving and not on getting. Next you learn that you  learn what you teach and that you want to learn peace. This is the
Tx:6.90  Next you learn that you learn what you teach and that you want to  learn peace. This is the condition for identifying with the Kingdom
Tx:6.94  Kingdom. Everything outside the Kingdom is illusion, but you must  learn to accept truth, because you threw it away. You therefore saw
Tx:7.14  is essential. This form of the law clearly implies that you will  learn what you are from what you have projected onto others and
Tx:7.17  relinquish one to understand the other. This is the only way you can  learn consistency so that you can finally be consistent.
Tx:7.21  potentials for learning, and you will apply them to what you want to  learn. Learning is effort, and effort means will. We have used the
Tx:7.22  because that would defeat its purpose. Therefore, it does not really  learn at all. The Holy Spirit teaches you to use what the ego has
Tx:7.23 You made the effort to  learn, and the Holy Spirit has a unified goal for all effort. He
Tx:7.26  clearly impossible. It is therefore a lesson which you cannot really  learn, and therefore cannot really teach. Yet you are always
Tx:7.35  only for healing, because He knows you only as whole. By healing you  learn of wholeness, and by learning of wholeness you learn to
Tx:7.35  By healing you learn of wholeness, and by learning of wholeness you  learn to remember God. You have forgotten Him, but the Holy Spirit
Tx:7.48  created it, but you think that you have changed it as long as you  learn through the ego. This does place you in a position of needing
Tx:7.48  through the ego. This does place you in a position of needing to  learn a lesson which seems contradictory—you must learn to change
Tx:7.48  of needing to learn a lesson which seems contradictory—you must  learn to change your mind about your mind. Only by this can you learn
Tx:7.48  must learn to change your mind about your mind. Only by this can you  learn that it is changeless. When you heal that is exactly what you
Tx:7.52  because you perceive only what is true. Come therefore unto me and  learn of the truth in you. The mind we share is shared by all our
Tx:7.76  love everything He created of which you are a part, or you cannot  learn of His peace and accept His gift for yourself and as yourself.
Tx:7.89  one can keep a belief he has judged to be unbelievable. The more you  learn about the ego, the more you realize that it cannot be believed.
Tx:8.7  before a real change in direction becomes possible. You cannot  learn simultaneously from two teachers who are in total disagreement
Tx:8.8  is. If learning that is the purpose of the curriculum, you must  learn it of Him. The ego does not know what it is trying to teach. It
Tx:8.8  the Holy Spirit entirely, which is quite impossible, you could  learn nothing from the ego because the ego knows nothing.
Tx:8.11  Will. This unnatural lesson cannot be learned, but the attempt to  learn it is a violation of your own freedom and makes you afraid of

Tx:8.16  you are light. If you want understanding and enlightenment, you will  learn it, because your will to learn it is your decision to listen to
Tx:8.16  and enlightenment, you will learn it, because your will to  learn it is your decision to listen to the Teacher who knows of light
Tx:8.20  of the teacher you choose, is know thyself. There is nothing else to  learn. Everyone is looking for himself and for the power and glory he
Tx:8.22  choice could you make? Having made this choice, you will begin to  learn and understand why you have believed that when you met someone
Tx:8.24  to you, because that is what He is. See this glory everywhere to  learn what you are.
Tx:8.37  yourself. There is no separation of God and His creation. You will  learn this as you learn that there is no separation of your will and
Tx:8.37  is no separation of God and His creation. You will learn this as you  learn that there is no separation of your will and mine. Let the love
Tx:8.44 Listen to the story of the prodigal son, and  learn what God's treasure is and yours: This son of a loving father
Tx:8.52  is, as His does. You who are beloved of God are wholly blessed.  Learn this of me, and free the holy will of all those who are as
Tx:8.60  to a learner as to be placed in a curriculum which he cannot  learn. His sense of adequacy suffers, and he must become depressed.

Tx:8.91  in a state of panic. If the purpose of this course is to  learn what you are and if you have already decided that what you are
Tx:8.91  that what you are is fearful, then it must follow that you will not  learn this course. Yet you might remember that the reason for the
Tx:8.96  who could not possibly teach you your will. Of him you can never  learn it, and this gives you the illusion of safety. Yet you cannot
Tx:8.114 Believe in your brothers because I believe in you, and you will  learn that my belief in you is justified. Believe in me by believing
Tx:8.114  them for the sake of what God gave them. They will answer you if you  learn to ask truth of them. Do not ask for blessings without blessing
Tx:8.114  for blessings without blessing them, for only in this way can you  learn how blessed you are. By following this way, you are looking for
Tx:9.5  How is this different from telling you that what you teach you  learn? Your brother is as right as you are, and if you think he is
Tx:9.8  God gave you the function to create in eternity. You do not need to  learn this, but you do need to learn to want this, and for this all
Tx:9.8  in eternity. You do not need to learn this, but you do need to  learn to want this, and for this all learning was made. This is the
Tx:9.15  work is not your function, and unless you accept this, you cannot  learn what your function is. The confusion of functions is so typical
Tx:9.29  you that the words are true. By following the right Guide you will  learn the simplest of all lessons—
Tx:9.34  because each part is whole. Wholeness is indivisible, but you cannot  learn of your wholeness until you see it everywhere. You can know
Tx:9.35 You are not yet awake, but you can  learn how to awaken. Very simply the Holy Spirit teaches you to
Tx:9.35  Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them waken, you will  learn what waking means, and because you have willed to wake them,
Tx:9.37  you. You will never know that you are co-creator with God until you  learn that your brother is a co-creator with you.
Tx:9.59  which happens to you is caused by factors outside yourself. You must  learn that time is solely at your disposal, and that nothing in the
Tx:9.81 I do not bring God's message with deception, and you will  learn this as you learn that you always receive as much as you
Tx:9.81  bring God's message with deception, and you will learn this as you  learn that you always receive as much as you accept. You could accept
Tx:9.92  be completely forgotten. If you but see the little spark, you will  learn of the greater light, for the rays are there unseen. Perceiving
Tx:9.99  His Son. If you hear His message, He has answered you, and you will  learn of Him if you hear aright. The love of God is in everything He
Tx:9.103  you the means for undoing what you have made. Listen, and you will  learn what you are.
Tx:9.104  as it is. If God created His Son perfect, that is how you must  learn to see him to learn of his reality. And as part of the Sonship,
Tx:9.104  created His Son perfect, that is how you must learn to see him to  learn of his reality. And as part of the Sonship, that is how you
Tx:9.104  And as part of the Sonship, that is how you must see yourself to  learn of yours.
Tx:9.107 If you would remember eternity, you must  learn to look only on the eternal. If you allow yourselves to become
Tx:10.9  ability to see. Look upon the glory of His creation, and you will  learn what God has kept for you.
Tx:10.11  know His gift to you? Give, then, without limit and without end to  learn how much He has given you. Your ability to accept Him depends
Tx:10.15  share it to know it, for sharing is knowing. Blessed are you who  learn that to hear the Will of your Father is to know your own. For
Tx:10.31  it is His. Your Soul does not need salvation, but your mind needs to  learn what salvation is. You are not saved from anything, but you are
Tx:10.34  the denial of this simple fact takes many forms, and these you must  learn to recognize and to oppose steadfastly and without exception.
Tx:10.47 What you must  learn to recognize is that the last thing the ego wishes you to
Tx:10.49  then, you have become afraid of yourself. And no one wills to  learn what he believes would destroy him.
Tx:10.50  this is impossible. Only by learning what fear is, can you finally  learn to distinguish the possible from the impossible and the false
Tx:10.63  obedience, for obedience implies submission. He would only have you  learn your own will and follow it, not in the spirit of sacrifice and
Tx:10.68  as valuable as mine. For your part must be like mine if you  learn it of me. If you believe that yours is limited, you are
Tx:10.76  learned, and you are not without a Teacher. Yet your willingness to  learn of Him depends on your willingness to question everything you
Tx:10.80  of what you think it will demand of you. Yet only by asking will you  learn that nothing that is of God demands anything of you. God gives;
Tx:10.81  restore, be capable of misinterpreting the question you must ask to  learn His answer?
Tx:10.83  who will ask the truth of God without fear, for only thus can you  learn that His answer is the release from fear. Beautiful Child of
Tx:10.85  will not disappear in the presence of God's answer? Ask, then, to  learn of the reality of your brother because this is what you will
Tx:10.86  with his Father. Love him who is beloved of His Father, and you will  learn of the Father's love for you.
Tx:10.89  only their lack of understanding which frightens them, and when they  learn to perceive truly, they are not afraid. And because of this,
Tx:10.90  deceived in you, you can be deceived only in yourself. Yet you can  learn the truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit, who will teach you
Tx:11.11  of your deep sense of loss. If when you perceive it in others you  learn to supply the loss, the basic cause of fear is removed. Thereby
Tx:11.13  against it the underlying appeal for it? And how could you better  learn of its reality than by answering the appeal for it by giving
Tx:11.13  fear with love and translate error into truth. And thus will you  learn of Him how to replace your dream of separation with the fact of
Tx:11.18  dream of hatred will not leave you without help, and help is here.  Learn to be quiet in the midst of turmoil, for quietness is the end
Tx:11.35  to truth. There you will see your vision changed, and there you will  learn to see truly. From this place, where God and His Son dwell in
Tx:11.41 Behold the Guide your Father gave you that you might  learn you have eternal life. For death is not your Father's Will nor
Tx:11.46  could not trust your own love when you have attacked it. You cannot  learn of perfect love with a split mind because a split mind has made
Tx:11.47  resources. He becomes your resource because, of yourself, you cannot  learn. The learning situation in which you placed yourself is
Tx:11.48  where yours have clearly failed. Your learning goal has been not to  learn, and this cannot lead to successful learning. You cannot
Tx:11.48  a crucial learning failure. Would you ask those who have failed to  learn what learning aids are for? They do not know. For if they could
Tx:11.49  into curricular terms, this is the same as saying, “Try to  learn but do not succeed.” The result of this curriculum goal is
Tx:11.49  which this strange curriculum goal is against. If you are trying to  learn how not to learn and are using the aim of teaching to defeat
Tx:11.49  curriculum goal is against. If you are trying to learn how not to  learn and are using the aim of teaching to defeat itself, what can
Tx:11.50  you do not realize even yet that there is something you do will to  learn, and that you can learn it because it is your will to do so.
Tx:11.50  yet that there is something you do will to learn, and that you can  learn it because it is your will to do so.
Tx:11.51 You who have tried to  learn what you do not will should take heart, for although the
Tx:11.52  because it will lead you to God. You can teach the way to Him and  learn it if you follow the Teacher Who knows it and His curriculum
Tx:11.52  attention. Everything else will be given you. For it is your will to  learn aright, and nothing can oppose the Will of God's Son. His
Tx:11.57  begins with his investment in the real world, and by this he will  learn to reinvest in himself. For reality is one with the Father and
Tx:11.58  world, as you will surely do, you will remember us. Yet you must  learn the cost of sleeping and refuse to pay it. Only then will you
Tx:11.59  Spirit's guidance increases and becomes generalized. Gradually you  learn to apply it to everyone and everything, for its applicability
Tx:11.62  what it does, you recognize its being. And by what it does, you  learn what it is. You cannot see your abilities, but you gain
Tx:11.63  you can see the results of His Presence, and through them you will  learn that He is there. What He enables you to do is clearly not of
Tx:11.72  not yet want only that. Yet as I become more real to you, you will  learn that you do want only that. And you will see me as you look
Tx:11.76  given me of the Father unless He had also given it to you? When you  learn to make me manifest, you will never see death. For you will
Tx:11.86  pain and in pain. Their growth is attended by suffering, and they  learn of sorrow and separation and death. Their minds are trapped in
Tx:11.88  he has never condemned. The Atonement is the final lesson he need  learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need
Tx:11.93 You will see me as you  learn the Son of God is guiltless. He has always sought his
Tx:11.95  guilt that darkens your mind, and by accepting his purity as yours,  learn of him that it is yours.
Tx:11.97  you what immortality is, for by accepting your guiltlessness, you  learn that the past has never been, and so the future is needless.
Tx:12.28  that is no more. And this decision is one of future pain. Unless you  learn that past pain is delusional, you are choosing a future of
Tx:12.31  It is His interpretation of the means of salvation which you must  learn to accept if you would share His goal of salvation for you.
Tx:12.39  offering to you has never changed. You who know not what you do can  learn what insanity is and look beyond it. It is given you to learn
Tx:12.39  do can learn what insanity is and look beyond it. It is given you to  learn how to deny insanity and come forth from your private world in
Tx:12.46  past, either his or yours as you perceived it, you will be able to  learn from what you see now. For the past can cast no shadow to
Tx:12.49  have looked for it where it is not and therefore have not found it.  Learn, then, to seek it where it is, and it will dawn on eyes that
Tx:12.62  away in glad exchange for what you did not make is willingness to  learn the one you made is false.
Tx:12.70  and will but last until you step aside from all your needs and  learn that all of them have been fulfilled. Therefore He has no
Tx:13.16  it, accept His offer of Atonement for all your brothers. For so you  learn that it is true for you. Remember always that it is impossible
Tx:13.19  change it. Look, then, upon the light He placed within you and  learn that what you feared was there has been replaced with love.
Tx:13.25  come as long as you believe there is a reason for it. For you must  learn that guilt is always totally insane and has no reason. The Holy
Tx:13.40  and differences are necessary teaching aids, for by them you  learn what to avoid and what to seek. When you have learned this, you
Tx:13.42  Holy Spirit will teach you how to use it and, by projecting it, to  learn that it is in you.
Tx:13.43  for God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as He is. You will  learn salvation, because you will learn how to save. It will not be
Tx:13.43  is as sure as He is. You will learn salvation, because you will  learn how to save. It will not be possible to exempt yourself from
Tx:13.43  to teach you. Salvation is as sure as God. His certainty suffices.  Learn that even the darkest nightmare that disturbed the Mind of
Tx:13.43  the Mind of God's sleeping Son holds no power over him. He will  learn the lesson of awaking. God watches over him, and light
Tx:13.48 If you are blessed and do not know it, you need to  learn it must be so. The knowledge is not taught, but its conditions
Tx:13.48  must be acquired, for it is they that have been thrown away. You can  learn to bless and cannot give what you have not. If, then, you offer
Tx:13.49  Atonement for yourself and learning you are guiltless. How could you  learn what has been done for you, but which you do not know, unless
Tx:13.52  of sharing what cannot be shared. And while you think it possible to  learn to do this, you will not believe all that is possible to learn
Tx:13.52  to learn to do this, you will not believe all that is possible to  learn to do.
Tx:13.53  therefore, must begin His teaching by showing you what you can never  learn. His message is not indirect, but He must introduce the simple
Tx:13.54  is happiness. This has so confused you that you have undertaken to  learn to do what you can never do, believing that unless you learn
Tx:13.54  to learn to do what you can never do, believing that unless you  learn it, you will not be happy. You do not realize that the
Tx:13.55  you have believed that nothing can be precious and that you can  learn how to make the untrue true.
Tx:13.56  that truth is true. This is the hardest lesson you will ever  learn, and in the end the only one. Simplicity is very difficult for

Tx:13.60  teach anyone that truth is true, you learn it with him. And so you  learn that what seemed hardest was the easiest. Learn to be happy
Tx:13.60  with him. And so you learn that what seemed hardest was the easiest.  Learn to be happy learners. You will never learn how to make nothing
Tx:13.60  hardest was the easiest. Learn to be happy learners. You will never  learn how to make nothing everything. Yet see that this has been your
Tx:13.61  over to the Holy Spirit to be unlearned for you. And then begin to  learn the joyous lessons that come quickly on the firm foundation
Tx:13.63 Behold your brothers in their freedom and  learn of them how to be free of darkness. The light in you will waken
Tx:13.66  yield to it, you are deciding against your happiness and will not  learn how to be happy. Say therefore to yourself gently, but with the

Tx:13.72  mind. Remember always that mind is one and cause is one. You will  learn communication with this oneness only when you learn to deny the
Tx:13.72  is one. You will learn communication with this oneness only when you  learn to deny the causeless and accept the Cause of God as yours. The
Tx:13.78  the way and leads you gladly on it. With Him you will not fail to  learn what God wills for you is your will. Without His guidance, you
Tx:13.80  lies behind every decision which the Holy Spirit makes for you?  Learn of His wisdom and His love and teach His answer to everyone who
Tx:13.82  within yourself. Unlearn isolation through His loving guidance and  learn of all the happy communication that you have thrown away but
Tx:13.84  I know not. Yet He will never keep from me what He would have me  learn. And so I trust Him to communicate to me all that He knows for

Tx:13.88  them that use it. On earth this is your only function, and you must  learn that it is all you want to learn.
Tx:13.88  is your only function, and you must learn that it is all you want to  learn.
Tx:13.89 You will feel guilty till you  learn this. For in the end, whatever form it takes, your guilt arises

Tx:14.9  not attack. To attack those who have need of teaching is to fail to  learn from them.

Tx:14.59  only the insane, in deepest sleep, could even dream of it. Can God  learn how not to be God? And can His Son, given all power by Him,
Tx:14.59  learn how not to be God? And can His Son, given all power by Him,  learn to be powerless? What have you taught yourselves that you can
Tx:14.62  Learn of His happiness, which is yours. But to accomplish this, all
Tx:14.64 Do not be concerned how you can  learn a lesson so completely different from everything you have
Tx:14.71  will always be indivisible. As we are held as one in God, so do we  learn as one in Him. God's Teacher is as like to His Creator as is
Tx:14.72  always that they know nothing, but who have become willing to  learn everything, will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves,
Tx:14.72  know nothing, but who have become willing to learn everything, will  learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they will not learn.
Tx:14.72  will learn it. But whenever they trust themselves, they will not  learn. They have destroyed their motivation for learning by thinking
Tx:14.73  know unless the effects of understanding are with them can really  learn at all. And for this, it must be peace they want and nothing
Tx:15.1  calm and quiet all the time? Yet that is what time is for—to  learn just that and nothing more. God's Teacher cannot be satisfied
Tx:15.1  function until you have become such a consistent learner that you  learn only of Him. When this has happened, you will no longer need a
Tx:15.1  has happened, you will no longer need a teacher or time in which to  learn.
Tx:15.11 Time is inconceivable without change, yet holiness does not change.  Learn from this instant more than merely hell does not exist. In this
Tx:15.20  way. You can practice the mechanics of the holy instant and will  learn much from doing so. Yet its shining and glittering brilliance,
Tx:15.21  You will receive very specific instructions as you go along. To  learn to separate out this single second and begin to experience it
Tx:15.24  is a deep responsibility you owe yourself, and one which you must  learn to remember all the time. The lesson will seem hard at first,
Tx:15.24  all the time. The lesson will seem hard at first, but you will  learn to love it when you realize that it is true and constitutes a
Tx:15.30  to glory. But it is a sacrifice to accept anything less than glory.  Learn that you must be worthy of the Prince of Peace, born in you in
Tx:15.30  have given slip into nothingness. Holy Child of God, when will you  learn that only holiness can content you and give you peace?
Tx:15.31 Remember that you  learn not for yourself alone, no more than I did. It is because I
Tx:15.31  no more than I did. It is because I learned for you that you can  learn of me. I would but teach you what is yours, so that together we
Tx:15.38 Would you  learn how perfect and immaculate is the holy altar on which your
Tx:15.39  instant, as clear as you would have me. And the extent to which you  learn to be willing to accept me is the measure of the time in which
Tx:15.63  If you would give yourself as your Father gives His Self, you will  learn to understand Selfhood. And therein is love's meaning
Tx:15.64  of ideas with ideas. Through your ability to do this, you will  learn what you must be, for you will begin to understand what your

Tx:15.80 Hear Him gladly and  learn of Him that you have need of no special relationships at all.
Tx:15.80  in them what you have thrown away. And through them you will never  learn the value of what you have cast aside but what you still desire
Tx:15.85  is accomplished in the holy instant. Yet it is needful for you to  learn just what this shift entails, so you will become willing to
Tx:15.91  its use for separation and attack which the ego sees in it, you will  learn you have no need of a body at all. In the holy instant there
Tx:15.93  as God is, and every sacrifice you ask of yourself, you ask of me.  Learn now that sacrifice of any kind is nothing but a limitation
Tx:15.104 You who believe that sacrifice is love must  learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice brings
Tx:16.5 True empathy is of Him Who knows what it is. You will  learn His interpretation of it if you let Him use your capacity for
Tx:16.26  yourself, the witnesses to your teaching have gathered to help you  learn. Their gratitude has joined with yours and God's to strengthen
Tx:16.26  outside your teaching and apart from it. But with them you must  learn that you but taught yourself and learned from the conviction
Tx:16.27 This year you will begin to  learn and make learning commensurate with teaching. You have chosen
Tx:16.27  offers it to the teacher in gratitude and shares it with him. As you  learn, your gratitude to your Self, Who teaches you what He is, will
Tx:16.27  you what He is, will grow and help you honor Him. And you will  learn His power and strength and purity, and love Him as His Father
Tx:16.45 This is the “natural” condition of the separation, and those who  learn that it is not natural at all seem to be the unnatural ones.
Tx:16.67  where truth and beauty wait for you. Go on to meet them gladly, and  learn how much awaits you for the simple willingness to give up
Tx:16.78  them for the illusions which you perceive in them. Thus will you  learn that you have been forgiven, for it is you who offered them
Tx:17.4  by giving some of it to one teacher and some to another. And so you  learn to deal with part of truth in one way and in another way the
Tx:17.5 Think you that you can bring truth to fantasy and  learn what truth means from the perspective of illusions? Truth has
Tx:17.7  thanks the Father for. He was created to see this for you until you  learn to see it for yourself. And all His teaching leads to seeing it
Tx:17.9  could complete it thus. The real world, in its loveliness, you  learn to reach. Fantasies are all undone, and no one and nothing
Tx:17.21  increasingly unwilling to let it be hidden from you. And you will  learn to seek for and establish conditions in which this beauty can
Tx:17.71 Yet think on this, and  learn the cause of faithlessness: You think you hold against the
Tx:18.38  assume His function for Him. Give Him but what He asks, that you may  learn how little is your part and how great is His.
Tx:18.49 There is nothing outside you. That is what you must ultimately  learn, for it is [in that] realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is
Tx:18.95  not for us to dwell on what cannot be attained. There is too much to  learn. The readiness for knowledge still must be attained.
Tx:19.16 Let then your dedication be to the eternal and  learn how not to interfere with it and make it slave to time. For
Tx:19.67  and release me from punishment for what I have not done. So will you  learn the freedom that I taught by teaching freedom to each other and
Tx:19.77  to death. For it was offered you, and you accepted. Yet you must  learn still more about this strange devotion, for it contains the
Tx:19.97  them and go beyond them. It would not have you see its weakness and  learn it has no power to keep you from the truth. The Guide Who
Tx:20.5  thing to draw your brother to you and to attract his body's eyes?  Learn you but offer him a crown of thorns, not recognizing it for
Tx:20.33  concerned with anything except the part that has been given you to  learn. For He Who knows the rest will see to it without your help.
Tx:20.33  world goes with them. Each holy relationship must enter here to  learn its special function in the Holy Spirit's plan, now that it
Tx:20.44  hands in safety and in peace. Let us consider now what he must  learn, to share his Father's confidence in him. What is he, that the
Tx:20.56  him to replace the unholy one he chose before. And here can he  learn relationships are his salvation and not his doom. You who are
Tx:20.59  and say, “I want this above all else, and yet I do not want to  learn the means to get it”?
Tx:20.68  doubts for certainty? Would you not willingly be free of misery and  learn again of joy? Your holy relationship offers all this to you. As
Tx:21.2  decisions. And you will see the witness to the choice you made and  learn from this to recognize which one you chose. [The world you see
Tx:21.5 There is no need to  learn through pain. And gentle lessons are acquired joyously and are
Tx:21.5  and are remembered gladly. What gives you happiness you want to  learn and not forget. It is not this you would deny. Your question is
Tx:21.13 We have repeated how little is asked of you to  learn this course. It is the same small willingness you need to have
Tx:21.64  and without a hope of safe return. You teach him this, and you will  learn of him exactly what you taught. For you can teach him only that
Tx:21.67  Love plans is like Itself in this: being united, It would have you  learn what you must be. And being one with It, it must be given you
Tx:21.67  the glad acceptance of what is given you to give your brother, and  learn with him what has been given both of you. To give is no more
Tx:22.25  And all the misery you made has been your own. Are you not glad to  learn it is not true? Is it not welcome news to hear not one of the
Tx:22.30 The ego's whole continuance depends on its belief you cannot  learn this course. Share this belief, and reason will be unable to
Tx:22.43  is given to be the givers of what they have received. And so they  learn that it is theirs forever. All barriers disappear before their
Tx:22.44  your joined hands and touch this heavy-seeming block, and you will  learn how easily your fingers slip through its nothingness. It is no
Tx:24.2 To  learn this course requires willingness to question every value that
Tx:24.67  To no one here is this describable. Nor is there any way to  learn what this condition means. Not till you go past learning to the
Tx:25.4  to do, since it is He Who does it. And in the doing of it will you  learn the body merely seems to be the means to do it. For the mind is
Tx:25.6  to behold, for means and end are never separate. And thus you  learn what seems to have a life apart has none.
Tx:25.12  there ever be. The only value that the past can hold is that you  learn it gave you no rewards that you would want to keep. For only
Tx:25.21  is given not to you. For what you give is His, and giving it you  learn to understand His gift to you. And give the Holy Spirit what He
Tx:25.63  He wrested it from you against your will. And so you would not  learn it is your will to be without it. You need not give it to Him
Tx:25.66 You who know not of justice still can ask and  learn the answer. Justice looks on all in the same way. It is not
Tx:25.74  Each special function He allots is but for this—that each one  learn that love and justice are not separate. And both are
Tx:26.30  is for. This is its only purpose, for only that is all there is to  learn. And you can learn it many different ways. All learning is a
Tx:26.30  only purpose, for only that is all there is to learn. And you can  learn it many different ways. All learning is a help or hindrance to
Tx:26.60 Cause and effect are one, not separate. God wills you  learn what always has been true—that He created you as part of Him,
Tx:27.18  the world will ever hear. Brother, there is no death. And this you  learn when you but wish to show your brother that you had no hurt of
Tx:27.53 Peace be to you to whom is healing offered. And you will  learn that peace is given you when you accept the healing for
Tx:27.89  want to know. They seem to keep it secret from you. Yet you need but  learn you choose but not to listen, not to see. How differently will
Tx:27.90  world and kept your brother separate from you. Now need you but to  learn that both of you are innocent or guilty. The one thing that is
Tx:27.90  each other; that they both be true. This is the only secret yet to  learn. And it will be no secret you are healed.
Tx:28.7  And who would keep a senseless lesson in his mind when he can  learn and can preserve a better one? When ancient memories of hate
Tx:28.9  which you confused with cause. It can deserve but laughter when you  learn you have remembered consequences which were causeless and could
Tx:28.25 Like every lesson which the Holy Spirit requests you  learn, the miracle is clear. It demonstrates what He would have you
Tx:28.25  learn, the miracle is clear. It demonstrates what He would have you  learn and shows you its effects are what you want. In His forgiving
Tx:28.26  the lesson will not teach the whole. The miracle is useless if you  learn but that the body can be healed, for this is not the lesson it
Tx:29.8  behind which you can hide? There is a shock that comes to those who  learn their savior is their enemy no more. There is a wariness that
Tx:29.10 Why would you not perceive it as release from suffering to  learn that you are free? Why would you not acclaim the truth, instead
Tx:29.20  he is a body. For beyond his dreams is his reality. But he must  learn he is a savior first, before he can remember what he is. And he
Tx:29.35  Your brother thinks he holds the hand of death. Believe him not. But  learn instead how blessed are you who can release him just by
Tx:29.50  the pictures it projects outside itself? Save time, my brothers;  learn what time is for. And speed the end of idols in a world made
Tx:30.34  perfect answer. Hear it now that you may be reminded of His love and  learn your will. God would not have His Son made prisoner to what he
Tx:30.37  one walks upon the earth but must depend on your decision, that he  learn death has no power over him because he shares your freedom as
Tx:30.50  he is afraid because he thought the rules protected him. Now must he  learn the boxes and the bears did not deceive him, broke no rules,
Tx:30.69  enemy. But when they joined and shared a purpose, they were free to  learn their will is one. And thus the Will of God must reach to their
Tx:30.74  the miracle its strength to overlook illusions. This is how you  learn that you must be forgiven too. There can be no appearance that
Tx:31.1  and can have no effects. And that is all. Can this be hard to  learn by anyone who wants it to be true? Only unwillingness to learn
Tx:31.1  to learn by anyone who wants it to be true? Only unwillingness to  learn it could make such an easy lesson difficult. How hard is it to
Tx:31.2  it not with difficulty in the simple things salvation asks you  learn. It teaches but the very obvious. It merely goes from one
Tx:31.2  For somehow you believe that what is totally confused is easier to  learn and understand. What you have taught yourselves is such a giant
Tx:31.2  you wanted to and did not pause in diligence to judge it hard to  learn, or too complex to grasp.
Tx:31.3  curtains to obscure the simple and the obvious. Say not you cannot  learn them. For your power to learn is strong enough to teach you
Tx:31.3  and the obvious. Say not you cannot learn them. For your power to  learn is strong enough to teach you that your will is not your own,
Tx:31.4  taught yourselves the Son of God is guilty, say not that you cannot  learn the simple things salvation teaches you!
Tx:31.5  of truth and teach you that Its lessons are not true, too hard to  learn, too difficult to see, and too opposed to what is really true.
Tx:31.5  to see, and too opposed to what is really true. Yet you will  learn them, for their learning is the only purpose for your learning
Tx:31.6  His Will is in the Voice that speaks for Him. Which lesson will you  learn? What outcome is inevitable, sure as God, and far beyond all
Tx:31.7  which reflects the love of God is stronger still. And you will  learn God's Son is innocent and see another world.
Tx:31.11  temptation but a wish to make the wrong decision on what you would  learn and have an outcome that you do not want? It is the recognition
Tx:31.12  your mind of anyone. Now do [you] know him not. But you are free to  learn of him and learn of him anew. Now is he born again to you, and
Tx:31.12  Now do [you] know him not. But you are free to learn of him and  learn of him anew. Now is he born again to you, and you are born

Tx:31.24  receive, for you have come with but one purpose—that you both may  learn you love each other with a brother's love. And as a brother,

Tx:31.35  is sure. Perhaps you would prefer to try them all before you really  learn they are but one. The roads this world can offer seem to be

Tx:31.36  time unless you go beyond what you have learned to what is yet to  learn. For from this lowest point will learning lead to heights of
Tx:31.38  this step is to defeat your purpose here. You did not come to  learn to find a road the world does not contain. The search for
Tx:31.39  the way. To you who seem to find this course to be too difficult to  learn, let me repeat that to achieve a goal you must proceed in its
Tx:31.39  this be difficult to understand, then is this course impossible to  learn. But only then. For otherwise, it is a simple teaching in the
Tx:31.56  shown that different thoughts have different consequence. So it can  learn that everything it thinks reflects the deep confusion that it
Tx:31.59 The world can teach no images of you unless you want to  learn them. There will come a time when images have all gone by, and
Tx:31.66  as it was perceived before will change the world for eyes that  learn to see, because the concept of the self has changed. Are you
Tx:31.82  whom God says, “Release My Son!” be tempted not to listen when you  learn that it is you for whom He asks release? And what but this is
Tx:31.82  what this course would teach? And what but this is there for you to  learn?
Tx:31.87 Trials are but lessons which you failed to  learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice before,
Tx:31.89  Learn then the happy habit of response to all temptation to perceive
W1:I.4  exercise should be practiced with the eyes open, since the aim is to  learn how to see. The only rule that should be followed throughout is
W1:5.1  will be perceived as different. This is not true. However, until you  learn that form does not matter, each form becomes a proper subject
W1:13.3 It is essential, therefore, that you  learn to recognize the meaningless and accept it without fear. If you
W1:17.1  other way around. This is not the way the world thinks, but you must  learn that it is the way you think. If it were not so, perception
W1:23.2 If the cause of the world you see is attack thoughts, you must  learn that it is these thoughts which you do not want. There is no
W1:24.2  of your conviction that you do know what they are, you cannot  learn. The idea for today is a step toward opening your mind so that
W1:26.1  ultimately save you. But you are misusing it now. You must therefore  learn how it can be used for your own best interests rather than
W1:29.3 Try then today to begin to  learn how to look on all things with love, appreciation, and
W1:37.9  Offer him the blessing of your holiness immediately that you may  learn to keep it in your own awareness.
W1:44.5 Your mind is no longer wholly untrained. You are quite ready to  learn the form of exercise we will use today, but you may find that
W1:R1.4  at your stage of learning. It will be necessary, however, that you  learn to require no special settings in which to apply what you have
W1:R1.5  them and seeking a haven of isolation for yourself. You will yet  learn that peace is part of you and requires only that you be there
W1:R1.5  to embrace any situation in which you are. And finally you will  learn that there is no limit to where you are, so that your peace is
W1:51.2  has no meaning. It is necessary that I recognize this, that I may  learn to see. What I think I see now is taking the place of vision. I
W1:52.4  Let me understand that I am trying to use time against God. Let me  learn to give the past away, realizing that in so doing I am giving
W1:63.1  the power to bring peace to every mind! How blessed are you who can  learn to recognize the means for letting this be done through you!
W1:64.2  purpose in them. To the Holy Spirit, the world is a place where you  learn to forgive yourself what you think of as your sins. In this
W1:72.14  to close our eyes and stop our ears. Now we would see and hear and  learn. “What is salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered.
W1:78.6  him behind the grievances that we have held against him, you will  learn that what lay hidden while you saw him not is there in everyone
W1:81.7 Let this help me  learn what forgiveness means. Let me not separate my function from my
W1:83.5  is my happiness because both come from the same Source. And I must  learn to recognize what makes me happy if I would find happiness.
W1:99.14  shares your function here, and let Him teach you what you need to  learn to lay all fear aside and know your Self as Love Which has no
W1:102.6  there, awaiting but your choice. You cannot fail to find it when you  learn it is your choice and that you share God's Will.
W1:105.4 Accept God's peace and joy, and you will  learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will never

W1:108.6 To  learn that giving and receiving are the same has special usefulness
W1:110.2  as it is. It is enough to let time be the means for all the world to  learn escape from time and every change that time appears to bring in
W1:R3.3  carefully concealed behind a cloak of situations you cannot control.  Learn to distinguish situations which are poorly suited to your
W1:R3.11  periods are planned to help you form the habit of applying what you  learn each day to everything you do.
W1:R3.14  forget how little you have learned. Do not forget how much you can  learn now. Do not forget your Father's need of you as you review
W1:119.3  are one in truth. I will forgive all things today, that I may  learn how to accept the truth in me and come to recognize my
W1:121.6  than yourself, who represents the other Self in you. Through Him you  learn how to forgive the self you think you made and let it
W1:121.7  And as its hope, do you become your own. The unforgiving mind must  learn through your forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. And
W1:121.7  it has been saved from hell. And as you teach salvation, you will  learn.
W1:121.8  Today we practice learning to forgive. If you are willing, you can  learn today to take the key to happiness and use it on your own
W1:121.9  believe that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we will try to  learn today that they are one through practicing forgiving toward one
W1:121.9  of as an enemy and one whom you consider as a friend. And as you  learn to see them both as one, we will extend the lesson to yourself
W1:126.12 All that I give is given to myself. The Help I need to  learn that this is true is with me now. And I will trust in Him.
W1:127.9  waiting for salvation disappears before the timelessness of what you  learn. Let us give thanks today that we are spared a future like the

W1:127.11  an hour think of one who makes the journey with you and who came to  learn what you must learn. And as he comes to mind, give him this
W1:127.11  who makes the journey with you and who came to learn what you must  learn. And as he comes to mind, give him this message from your Self:
W1:127.12  with the Love of God which I would share with you. For I would  learn the joyous lesson that there is no love but God's and yours and
W1:130.6  made a choice as all-embracing as its opposite. What we would  learn today is more than just the lesson that you cannot see two
W1:131.5 Be glad that search you must. Be glad as well to  learn you search for Heaven and must find the goal you really want.
W1:132.8 But healing is the gift of those who are prepared to  learn there is no world and can accept the lesson now. Their
W1:133.4  choose. The choosing you can do; indeed you must. But it is wise to  learn the laws you set in motion when you choose and what
W1:133.6  you make brings everything to you or nothing. Therefore, if you  learn the tests by which you can distinguish everything from nothing,
W1:135.24  I am attacked. But in defenselessness, I will be strong, and I will  learn what my defenses hide.
W1:135.27  the light of hope reborn in you, for now you come without defense to  learn the part for you within the plan of God. What little plans or
W1:135.28  of all the happiness that comes to you without your planning.  Learn today. And all the world will take this giant stride and
W1:139.7  they will come again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they  learn it is impossible to doubt yourself and not to be aware of what
W1:139.13  cobwebs which the world would weave around the holy Son of God. And  learn the fragile nature of the chains that seem to keep the
W1:140.14  our minds nor offer proof to us that it is real. This will we  learn today. And we will say our prayer for healing hourly and take a
W1:R4.7 Begin each day with time devoted to the preparation of your mind to  learn what each idea you will review that day can offer you in
W1:151.6  You believe to doubt his vassals is to doubt yourself. Yet you must  learn to doubt their evidence will clear the way to recognize

W1:153.14  day bring the last chapter closer to the world that everyone may  learn the tales he reads of terrifying destiny, defeat of all his
W1:153.17  we will quietly sit by and wait on Him and listen to His Voice and  learn what He would have us do the hour that is yet to come, while
W1:154.12 Let us but  learn this lesson for today: we will not recognize what we receive
W1:155.3  yet rejoiced to find they were mistaken in the choice. They cannot  learn directly from the truth because they have denied that it is so.
W1:157.1  You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death. Today you  learn to feel the joy of life.
W1:157.2  that we have learned already and prepares us for what we have yet to  learn. It brings us to the door where learning ceases, and we catch a
W1:157.3  to rise above its laws and walk into eternity a while. This you will  learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed,
W1:158.2  creation gave. All this cannot be learned. What, then, are you to  learn to give today? Our lesson yesterday evoked a theme found early
W1:158.5 The teacher does not give experience because he did not  learn it. It revealed itself to him at its appointed time. But vision
W1:158.10 Thus do you  learn to give as you receive. And thus Christ's vision looks on you
W1:158.10  vision looks on you as well. This lesson is not difficult to  learn if you remember in your brother you but see yourself. If he be

W1:168.3  us up, taking salvation's final step Himself. All steps but this we  learn, instructed by His Voice. But finally He comes Himself and
W1:170.2  swell and rage. And thus is fear protected, not escaped. Today we  learn a lesson which can save you more delay and needless misery than
W1:174.3 [158] Today I  learn to give as I receive. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:182.9  today. For He was willing to become a little child that you might  learn of Him how strong is he who comes without defenses, offering
W1:182.10  little Child each time a wanderer would leave his home. For he must  learn that what he would protect is but this Child, Who comes
W1:189.5 What would you see? The choice is given you. But  learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing: you will
W1:189.6  as Itself, Its sight which is the gift Its Love bestows on us. We  learn the way today. It is as sure as Love Itself, to Which it
W1:191.6  you are the holy Son of God Himself. And with this holy thought, you  learn as well that you have freed the world. You have no need to use
W1:193.5 These are the lessons God would have you  learn. His Will reflects them all, and they reflect His loving
W1:193.10 Shall we not  learn to say these words when we are tempted to believe that pain is
W1:193.10  is real and death becomes our choice instead of life? Shall we not  learn to say these words when we have understood their power to
W1:193.11  wrong or someone else is failing to perceive the lesson he should  learn? Does pain seem real in the perception? If it does, be sure the
W1:193.12  it. Would you now renounce your own salvation? Would you fail to  learn the simple lessons Heaven's Teacher sets before you that all
W1:193.13 All things are lessons God would have you  learn. He would not leave an unforgiving thought without correction
W1:193.15  truth His teaching is. His are the lessons God would have us  learn.
W1:193.17  eternal in the world of time. This is the lesson God would have you  learn: there is a way to look on everything that lets it be to you
W1:194.6  to temptation, you extend your learning to the world. And as you  learn to see salvation in all things, so will the world perceive that
W1:195.1 Gratitude is a lesson hard to  learn for those who look upon the world amiss. The most that they can
W1:195.9 Today we  learn to think of gratitude in place of anger, malice, and revenge.
W1:196.2  Yet must it fail to understand the truth it uses thus. But you can  learn to see these foolish applications and deny the meaning they
W1:197.6  and you will think that what is given you has been withdrawn. But  learn to let forgiveness take away the sins you think you see outside
W1:198.5  And is it not a kindness to yourself to hear His Voice and  learn the simple lessons He would teach, instead of trying to dismiss

Tx:14.9  it. Who is there but wishes to be free of pain? He may not yet have  learned how to exchange his guilt for innocence nor realize that only
Tx:14.45  is healing, without regard for what is brought to it. Those who have  learned to offer only healing because of the reflection of holiness

Tx:14.60  learning gives the present no meaning at all. Nothing you have ever  learned can help you understand the present or teach you how to undo
Tx:14.61  abandon you. And so you have another lesson sent from Him, already  learned for every Child of light by Him to Whom God gave it. This
Tx:14.62  And He will gladly exchange each one for the bright lesson He has  learned for you. Never believe that any lesson you have learned apart
Tx:14.62  He has learned for you. Never believe that any lesson you have  learned apart from Him means anything.
Tx:14.63 You have one test, as sure as God, by which to recognize if what you  learned is true. If you are wholly free of fear of any kind, and if
Tx:14.63  you share in your perfect peace, then you can be sure that you have  learned God's lesson and not yours. Unless all this is true, there
Tx:14.64  part is very simple. You need only recognize that everything you  learned you do not want. Ask to be taught and do not use your
Tx:14.64  be taught and do not use your experiences to confirm what you have  learned. When your peace is threatened or disturbed in any way, say
Tx:15.31  learn not for yourself alone, no more than I did. It is because I  learned for you that you can learn of me. I would but teach you what
Tx:15.32  nothing but His Will. Accept no less, remembering that everything I  learned is yours. What my Father loves, I love as He does, and I can

Tx:15.46  is the ego's chief learning device, for it is in the past that you  learned to define your own needs and acquired methods for meeting
Tx:15.76  And despite the evident insanity of this lesson, you have  learned it.
Tx:16.3  it in your own way. You do not know what healing is. All you have  learned of empathy is from the past. And there is nothing from the

Tx:16.21 You have taught well, and yet you have not  learned how to accept the comfort of your teaching. If you will
Tx:16.22 You have taught freedom, but you have not  learned how to be free. We once said, “By their fruits ye shall know

Tx:18.96 Love is not  learned. Its meaning lies in itself. And learning ends when you have

Tx:18.96  and yours of Him so far transcend all learning that everything you  learned is meaningless, replaced forever by the knowledge of love and
Tx:19.15  is still a learning goal, no longer needed when the lesson has been  learned. Yet truth will stay forever.
Tx:19.98  the fear of God unterrified unless he has accepted the Atonement and  learned illusions are not real. No one can stand before this obstacle
Tx:20.31  all temptation to imprison and to be imprisoned. It is of them who  learned of freedom that you should ask what freedom is. Ask not the
Tx:20.56  value now to you than its unholy seeming counterpart, and you have  learned you really want but one. This is no time for sadness. Perhaps
Tx:20.65  through the means of sin? Judgment you taught yourself; vision is  learned from Him Who would undo your teaching. His vision cannot see
Tx:21.5  deny. Your question is whether the means by which this course is  learned will bring to you the joy it promises. If you believed it
Tx:21.5  that vision gives you more than judgment does, and you have  learned that both you cannot have.
Tx:21.6  adjustments to it. They think they know their way about in it. They  learned it, not through joyous lessons, but through the stern
Tx:21.6  blind. This they do not believe. And so they keep the world they  learned to “see” in their imagination, believing that their choice is
Tx:21.6  that their choice is that or nothing. They hate the world they  learned through pain. And everything they think is in it serves to
Tx:21.9  remember, yet you are afraid, believing you would lose the world you  learned since then. And yet you know that nothing in the world you
Tx:21.9  learned since then. And yet you know that nothing in the world you  learned is half so dear as this. Listen and see if you remember an

Tx:24.69 This course makes no attempt to teach what cannot easily be  learned. Its scope does not exceed your own, except to say that what
Tx:27.40  represent the questions, they add nothing new, and nothing has been  learned.
Tx:27.49  that it may be healed. It needs one lesson which has perfectly been  learned. And then when you forget it will the world remind you gently
Tx:27.86  unless you failed to recognize it is your dream. This single lesson  learned will set you free from suffering, whatever form it takes.
Tx:27.87  repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance until it has been  learned, regardless of the form of suffering that brings you pain.
Tx:27.89  rest, and all of them are easily undone by but a single lesson truly  learned. Salvation is a secret you have kept but from yourself. The
Tx:30.61  perfectly fulfilled. The real world is a state in which the mind has  learned how easily do idols go when they are still perceived, but
Tx:30.73  upon itself. If you can see your brother merits pardon, you have  learned forgiveness is your right as much as his. Nor will you think
Tx:30.85  and everything you see. You do not have to judge, for you have  learned one meaning has been given everything, and you are glad to

Tx:31.3 No one who understands what you have learned, how carefully you have  learned it, and the pains to which you went to practice and repeat
Tx:31.4 Who could maintain that lessons such as these are easy? Yet you have  learned more than this. You have continued, taking every step,
Tx:31.5  than It. And this has learning sought to demonstrate, and you have  learned what it was made to teach. Now does your ancient overlearning
Tx:31.7 The lessons to be  learned are only two. Each has its outcome in a different world. And
Tx:31.11  hear, you answer. And behold! Your answer is the proof of what you  learned. Its outcome is the world you look upon.
Tx:31.12 Let us be still an instant and forget all things we ever  learned, all thoughts we had, and every preconception which we hold
Tx:31.16  role of leadership. And this is what you made your brother for and  learned to think that this his purpose is. Unless he serves it, he
Tx:31.21  Think not ancient thoughts. Forget the dismal lessons that you  learned about this Son of God who calls to you. Christ calls to all
Tx:31.22 Be very still an instant. Come without all thought of what you ever  learned before and put aside all images you made. The old will fall
Tx:31.35  nowhere, lost their hope. And yet this was the time they could have  learned their greatest lesson. All must reach this point and go
Tx:31.36  to try another road, another person, or another place when you have  learned the way the lesson starts but do not yet perceive what it is
Tx:31.36  and understand you but waste time unless you go beyond what you have  learned to what is yet to learn. For from this lowest point will

Tx:31.51  you do not yet perceive that this is what you think, you surely  learned by now that you behave as if it were. Does he react for you?
Tx:31.77  that can be miserable and remain in hell and torment? Who has  learned to see his brother not as this has saved himself, and thus is
W1:7.9  if you drop it? What do you know about this cup except what you  learned in the past? You would have no idea what this cup is except
W1:R1.4  learn to require no special settings in which to apply what you have  learned. You will need it most in situations which appear to be
W1:64.2  since this was the purpose of the body itself. Yet we have  learned that the Holy Spirit has another use for all the illusions
W1:98.4  who took the stand we take today will gladly offer us all that they  learned and every gain they made. Those still uncertain too will join
W1:106.7  given away, it will remain with you forever. And the lesson has been  learned.
W1:R3.9  and then go on your way to other things without applying what you  learned to them. As a result, you have gained little reinforcement
W1:R3.14 Do not forget how little you have  learned. Do not forget how much you can learn now. Do not forget your
W1:121.6  sin. As sin was an idea you taught yourself, forgiveness must be  learned by you as well, but from a Teacher other than yourself, who
W1:121.12  your mind to one you call a friend. Try to transfer the light you  learned to see around your former “enemy” to him. Perceive him now as
W1:133.1  what seems theoretical and far from what the student has already  learned, to bring him back to practical concerns. This we will do
W1:135.17 The mind that plans is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has  learned before becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past
W1:138.3  There is no sense of gain, for nothing is accomplished; nothing  learned.
W1:138.5 Choosing depends on learning. But the truth cannot be  learned but only recognized. In recognition its acceptance lies, and
W1:151.2  the body's eyes. Nor do you ask why you believe it, even though you  learned a long while since your senses do deceive. That you believe
W1:153.11  His Will is but their own. And while you fail to teach what you have  learned, salvation waits and darkness holds the world in grim
W1:157.2  now—a fresh experience that sheds a light on all that we have  learned already and prepares us for what we have yet to learn. It
W1:158.2  which you give, for that is what creation gave. All this cannot be  learned. What, then, are you to learn to give today? Our lesson
W1:166.13  but pursue their wishes. It is you who teach them now. For you have  learned of Christ there is another way for them to walk. Teach them

Tx:5.12  is at last possible. Transfer depends on common elements in the old  learning and the new situation to which it is transferred. Perception

Tx:6.40  because you are sharing it. Every lesson you teach you are  learning.

Tx:6.43  learn it of you. The only way to have peace is to teach peace. By  learning it through projection, it becomes a part of what you know,

Tx:7.22  as irrelevant as is the particular ability which was applied to the  learning. You could not have a better example of the Holy Spirit's

Tx:7.47  equally desirable in return. His teaching is limited, because he is  learning so little. His healing lesson is limited by his own
Tx:7.47  is limited by his own ingratitude, which is a lesson in sickness.  Learning is constant and so vital in its power for change that a Son
Tx:7.48  that it is changeless. When you heal that is exactly what you are  learning. You are recognizing the changeless mind in your brother by

Tx:8.8  for choice. Only one Teacher knows what your reality is. If  learning that is the purpose of the curriculum, you must learn it of

Tx:8.9  Yet the ego has done more harm to your learning than this alone.  Learning is joyful if it leads you along your natural path and

Tx:10.61  of experience, which you will become less and less willing to deny.  Learning of Christ is easy, for to perceive with Him involves no

Tx:11.48  learning failure. Would you ask those who have failed to learn what  learning aids are for? They do not know. For if they could interpret
Tx:11.49  teaching aid, every real instruction, and every sensible guide to  learning will be misinterpreted. For they are all for learning
Tx:11.49  guide to learning will be misinterpreted. For they are all for  learning facilitation, which this strange curriculum goal is against.
Tx:11.50  A necessary minor, supplementing this major curriculum goal, is  learning how not to overcome the split which made this goal
Tx:11.50  made this goal believable. And you can not overcome it, for all your  learning is on its behalf. Yet your will speaks against your
Tx:11.50  your learning is on its behalf. Yet your will speaks against your  learning, as your learning speaks against your will, and so you fight
Tx:11.50  on its behalf. Yet your will speaks against your learning, as your  learning speaks against your will, and so you fight against learning
Tx:11.50  as your learning speaks against your will, and so you fight against  learning and succeed, for that is your will. But you do not realize
Tx:11.51  of an honest appraisal of what you have taught yourselves and of the  learning outcomes which have resulted. Under the proper learning

W2:I.6  these holy times to You in gratitude to Him Who taught us how to  leave the world of sorrow in exchange for its replacement given us by

Tx:29.68  can be heard, not with the ears, but with the holiness which never  left the altar which abides forever deep within the Son of God. And
Tx:30.47  its rest in its eternal home, the Thought God holds of you has never  left the mind of its Creator Whom it knows, as its Creator knows that

W1:152.14  humbly ask our Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never  left will come again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home

Tx:8.55  use it for attack. In the service of uniting, it becomes a beautiful  lesson in communion, which has value until communion is. This is
Tx:9.11 The Atonement is a  lesson in sharing, which is given you because you have forgotten how
Tx:10.17 Healing thus becomes a  lesson in understanding, and the more you practice it, the better
Tx:10.39  looking honestly for truth. The “dynamics” of the ego will be our  lesson for a while, for we must look first at this to look beyond it
Tx:10.41  look upon darkness through light must dispel it. Let us begin this  lesson in “ego dynamics” by understanding that the term itself does
Tx:11.24  to help them since you are among them. Consider how perfectly your  lesson would be learned if you were unwilling to share their poverty.
Tx:11.88  condemned because he has never condemned. The Atonement is the final  lesson he need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned,
Tx:13.43  of God's sleeping Son holds no power over him. He will learn the  lesson of awaking. God watches over him, and light surrounds him.
Tx:13.56  seeing where you are but knowing you are elsewhere, begins His  lesson in simplicity with the fundamental teaching that truth is
Tx:13.56  the fundamental teaching that truth is true. This is the hardest  lesson you will ever learn, and in the end the only one. Simplicity
Tx:13.59  see in you more than you see. They will be happy learners of the  lesson which this light brings to them because it teaches them
Tx:13.62  For truth is true. What else could ever be or ever was? This simple  lesson holds the key to the dark door which you believe is locked
Tx:13.70  learning that darkness has no power over the Son of God is the happy  lesson the Holy Spirit teaches and would have you teach with Him. It
Tx:13.71 The way to teach this simple  lesson is merely this: guiltlessness is invulnerability. Therefore,
Tx:14.11  only this. You will not be exempt from the effects of this most holy  lesson, which seeks but to restore what is the right of God's
Tx:14.50  learn that you have no basis at all for ordering your thoughts. This  lesson the Holy Spirit teaches by giving you shining examples to show
Tx:14.59  For you have taught yourselves how to imprison the Son of God, a  lesson so unthinkable that only the insane, in deepest sleep, could
Tx:14.61  of this course. Yet God did not abandon you. And so you have another  lesson sent from Him, already learned for every Child of light by Him
Tx:14.61  learned for every Child of light by Him to Whom God gave it. This  lesson shines with God's glory, for in it lies His power, which He
Tx:14.62  laid down by hands open to receive, not closed to take. Every dark  lesson that you bring to Him Who teaches light He will accept from
Tx:14.62  do not want it. And He will gladly exchange each one for the bright  lesson He has learned for you. Never believe that any lesson you have
Tx:14.62  for the bright lesson He has learned for you. Never believe that any  lesson you have learned apart from Him means anything.
Tx:14.63  your perfect peace, then you can be sure that you have learned God's  lesson and not yours. Unless all this is true, there are dark lessons
Tx:14.63  do not will for God's Son what His Father wills for him. Every dark  lesson teaches this in one form or another. And each bright lesson,
Tx:14.63  dark lesson teaches this in one form or another. And each bright  lesson, with which the Holy Spirit will replace the dark ones you do
Tx:14.64 Do not be concerned how you can learn a  lesson so completely different from everything you have taught
Tx:14.71  against Him. For He teaches the miracle of oneness, and before His  lesson division disappears. Teach like Him here, and you will
Tx:15.10 This  lesson takes no time. For what is time without a past and future? It
Tx:15.16  past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the whole  lesson of peace. What can take time, when all the obstacles to
Tx:15.17  eternal because it is wholly without fear. It will come, being the  lesson God gives you through the Teacher He has appointed to
Tx:15.21  not that you will not be given help in this. God's Teacher and His  lesson will support your strength. It is only your weakness that will
Tx:15.24  yourself, and one which you must learn to remember all the time. The  lesson will seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when
Tx:15.48  points to truth. Under His teaching, every relationship becomes a  lesson in love.
Tx:15.60  it within itself, there was no loss. The holy instant thus becomes a  lesson in how to hold all of your brothers in your mind, experiencing
Tx:15.76  is the cause of loneliness. And despite the evident insanity of this  lesson, you have learned it.
Tx:15.107  as the necessary means of communication. And if you understand this  lesson, you will realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice
Tx:15.108 The  lesson I was born to teach and still would teach to all my brothers
Tx:18.35  you are unworthy of learning this, you are interfering with the  lesson by believing that you make the learner different. You did not
Tx:19.15  begin. For faith is still a learning goal, no longer needed when the  lesson has been learned. Yet truth will stay forever.
Tx:20.29  lies his own salvation. And so it is with yours. [Salvation is a  lesson in giving, as the Holy Spirit interprets it.] It is the
Tx:24.68  and yet it has no meaning to anyone who still retains one unlearned  lesson in his memory, one thought with purpose still uncertain, or
Tx:27.49  everything the world requires that it may be healed. It needs one  lesson which has perfectly been learned. And then when you forget it
Tx:27.79  the dream has but one purpose, taught in many ways. This single  lesson does it try to teach again, and still again, and yet once more
Tx:27.86  on you unless you failed to recognize it is your dream. This single  lesson learned will set you free from suffering, whatever form it
Tx:27.87 The Holy Spirit will repeat this one inclusive  lesson of deliverance until it has been learned, regardless of the
Tx:27.89  from all the rest, and all of them are easily undone by but a single  lesson truly learned. Salvation is a secret you have kept but from
Tx:28.7  yourself, for you were badly taught. And who would keep a senseless  lesson in his mind when he can learn and can preserve a better one?
Tx:28.10  You need no healing to be healed. In quietness, see in the miracle a  lesson in allowing Cause to have Its own effects and doing nothing
Tx:28.25 Like every  lesson which the Holy Spirit requests you learn, the miracle is
Tx:28.26  the body to be victim or effect of what it made. Yet half the  lesson will not teach the whole. The miracle is useless if you learn
Tx:28.26  if you learn but that the body can be healed, for this is not the  lesson it was sent to teach. The lesson is the mind was sick that
Tx:28.26  can be healed, for this is not the lesson it was sent to teach. The  lesson is the mind was sick that thought the body could be sick;
Tx:31.1  to be true? Only unwillingness to learn it could make such an easy  lesson difficult. How hard is it to see that what is false cannot be
Tx:31.2  It teaches but the very obvious. It merely goes from one apparent  lesson to the next in easy steps which lead you gently from one to
Tx:31.4  without complaint until a world was built that suited you. And every  lesson that makes up the world arises from the first accomplishment
Tx:31.4  and still before its magnitude. The world began with one strange  lesson, powerful enough to render God forgotten and His Son an alien
Tx:31.6  And the power of His Will is in the Voice that speaks for Him. Which  lesson will you learn? What outcome is inevitable, sure as God, and
Tx:31.7  world follows surely from its source. The certain outcome of the  lesson that God's Son is guilty is the world you see. It is a world
Tx:31.7  produce. However much you may have overlearned your chosen task, the  lesson which reflects the love of God is stronger still. And you will
Tx:31.8 The outcome of the  lesson that God's Son is guiltless is a world in which there is no
Tx:31.8  creation to the whole is heard throughout the world this second  lesson brings.
Tx:31.10 The fear of God results as surely from the  lesson that His Son is guilty as God's love must be remembered when
Tx:31.13 An ancient  lesson is not overcome by the opposing of the new and old. It is not
Tx:31.35  And yet this was the time they could have learned their greatest  lesson. All must reach this point and go beyond it. It is true indeed
Tx:31.35  there is no choice at all within the world. But this is not the  lesson in itself. The lesson has a purpose, and in this you come to
Tx:31.35  at all within the world. But this is not the lesson in itself. The  lesson has a purpose, and in this you come to understand what it is
Tx:31.36  another person, or another place when you have learned the way the  lesson starts but do not yet perceive what it is for? Its purpose is
Tx:31.36  there is no hope of answer in the world. But do not judge the  lesson which is but begun with this. Seek not another signpost in the
Tx:31.36  lead to heights of happiness in which you see the purpose of the  lesson shining clear, and perfectly within your learning grasp.
Tx:31.47 Beneath the face of innocence there is a  lesson that the concept of the self was made to teach. It is a lesson
Tx:31.47  is a lesson that the concept of the self was made to teach. It is a  lesson in a terrible displacement and a fear so devastating that the
Tx:31.47  must forever look away, lest it perceive the treachery it hides. The  lesson teaches this: “I am the thing you made of me, and as you look
Tx:31.48 Here is the central  lesson that ensures your brother is condemned eternally. For what you
Tx:31.51 Thus are the Holy Spirit's  lesson plans arranged in easy steps that though there be some lack of
Tx:31.83 Temptation has one  lesson it would teach in all its forms wherever it occurs. It would
W1:6.4  others, remind yourself of the two cautions stated in the previous  lesson:
W1:90.2  I would remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the  lesson that there is one problem and one solution. The problem is a
W1:106.7  everything is given away, it will remain with you forever. And the  lesson has been learned.
W1:108.7  the special case of giving and receiving. We will use this simple  lesson in the obvious because it has results we cannot miss. To give
W1:108.13 Our very simple  lesson for today will teach you much. Effect and cause will be far
W1:121.9  friend. And as you learn to see them both as one, we will extend the  lesson to yourself and see that their escape included yours.
W1:127.8  love's meaning to your clean and open mind. And He will bless the  lesson with His Love.
W1:127.12  of God which I would share with you. For I would learn the joyous  lesson that there is no love but God's and yours and mine and
W1:130.6  as its opposite. What we would learn today is more than just the  lesson that you cannot see two worlds. It also teaches that the one
W1:132.6  in the text and must be borne in mind if you would understand the  lesson for today. It is not pride which tells you that you made the
W1:132.8  those who are prepared to learn there is no world and can accept the  lesson now. Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some
W1:132.8  world and can accept the lesson now. Their readiness will bring the  lesson to them in some form which they can understand and recognize.
W1:132.10 A  lesson earlier repeated once must now be stressed again, for it
W1:132.11 What is the  lesson for today except another way of saying that to know your Self
W1:151.10  of God, for He will judge all happenings and teach the single  lesson which they all contain.
W1:151.15  are purified. So are you taught to teach the Son of God the holy  lesson of his sanctity. No one can fail to listen when you hear the
W1:153.1  and all the “gifts” it merely lends to take away again, attend this  lesson well. The world provides no safety. It is rooted in attack and
W1:154.12 Let us but learn this  lesson for today: we will not recognize what we receive until we give
W1:154.13 Our  lesson for today is stated thus:
W1:157.3  eternity a while. This you will learn to do increasingly, as every  lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy
W1:158.2  cannot be learned. What, then, are you to learn to give today? Our  lesson yesterday evoked a theme found early in the text. Experience
W1:158.10  as you receive. And thus Christ's vision looks on you as well. This  lesson is not difficult to learn if you remember in your brother you
W1:166.12  He has come to offer you, you now must learn to give. This is the  lesson that His giving holds, for He has saved you from the solitude
W1:170.2  and rage. And thus is fear protected, not escaped. Today we learn a  lesson which can save you more delay and needless misery than you can
W1:184.12 God has no name. And yet His Name becomes the final  lesson that all things are one, and at this single lesson learning
W1:184.12  becomes the final lesson that all things are one, and at this single  lesson learning ends. All names are unified; all space is filled with
W1:185.6  mind which seeks for it in honesty can understand. Whatever form the  lesson takes is planned for him in such a way that he cannot mistake
W1:185.6  And if he asks without sincerity, there is no form in which the  lesson will meet with acceptance and be truly learned.
W1:190.10 This is the day when it is given you to realize the  lesson which contains all of salvation's power. It is this: pain is
W1:193.4  Son with peace and joy fulfills His function now. He redirects each  lesson you would teach in hate to one in which forgiveness enters,
W1:193.4  cannot enter, for its source has been excluded as the purpose of the  lesson has been changed to guiltlessness; the hatred has been rooted
W1:193.5  all, and they reflect His loving kindness to the Son He loves. Each  lesson has a central thought, the same in all of them. The form alone
W1:193.7  the form. It is this sameness which makes learning sure because the  lesson is so simple that it cannot be rejected in the end. No one can
W1:193.7  as easily in all of them if one but wants to see the simple  lesson there.
W1:193.11  when you are seeing wrong or someone else is failing to perceive the  lesson he should learn? Does pain seem real in the perception? If it
W1:193.11  Does pain seem real in the perception? If it does, be sure the  lesson is not learned. And there remains an unforgiveness hiding in
W1:193.16  a little time today, and in the days to come, in practicing the  lesson in forgiveness in the form established for the day. And try to
W1:193.17  remain unbound, in peace eternal in the world of time. This is the  lesson God would have you learn: there is a way to look on everything
W1:194.6 If you can see the  lesson for today as the deliverance it really is, you will not
W1:195.1 Gratitude is a  lesson hard to learn for those who look upon the world amiss. The
W1:R6.3  are centered round a central theme with which we start and end each  lesson. It is this:
W1:213.1 [193] All things are lessons God would have me learn. A  lesson is a miracle which God offers to me in place of thoughts I
W2:275.1 Let us today attend the Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient  lesson, no more true today than any other day. Yet has this day been
W2:286.1  that has been chosen as the time in which I come to understand the  lesson that there is no need that I do anything. In You is every
M:3.5  perhaps for life. Yet should they decide to learn it, the perfect  lesson is before them and can be learned. And if they decide to learn
M:3.5  is before them and can be learned. And if they decide to learn that  lesson, they become the saviors of the teachers who falter and may
M:4.6  he has valued what is really valueless, he will not generalize the  lesson for fear of loss and sacrifice. It takes great learning to
M:5.7  of one true idea has no end nor limit. The final outcome of this  lesson is the remembrance of God. What do guilt and sickness, pain,
M:9.2 As the teacher of God advances in his training, he learns one  lesson with increasing thoroughness. He does not make his own
M:12.4  body's purpose really is; the only use there really is for it. This  lesson is enough to let the thought of unity come in, and what is one
M:12.5 The central  lesson is always this—that what you use the body for, it will
M:13.1  it came when there is no more use for it. Now its real meaning is a  lesson. Like all lessons, it is an illusion, for in reality there is
M:14.3  this? No; it is meaningless to anyone here. Yet it is the final  lesson in which unity is restored. It goes against all the thinking
M:14.4  bits and pieces of its thinking will still seem sensible. The final  lesson which brings the ending of the world cannot be grasped by
M:14.4  What, then, is the function of the teacher of God in this concluding  lesson? He need merely learn how to approach it, to be willing to go
M:14.4  He need merely trust that, if God's Voice tells him it is a  lesson he can learn, he can learn it. He does not judge it either as
M:17.1  real to both of them. How to deal with magic thus becomes a major  lesson for the teacher of God to master. His first responsibility in
M:17.3  is most apparent, and errors can be recognized by their results. A  lesson truly taught can lead to nothing but release for teacher and
M:18.2 God's teachers’ major  lesson is to learn how to react to magic thoughts wholly without
M:21.4  he will say. This process is merely a special case of the workbook  lesson “I will step back and let Him lead the way.” The teacher of
M:22.2  a sudden and complete awareness of the perfect applicability of the  lesson of the Atonement to all situations. This, however, is
M:23.5  perfect constancy. He has remained with you. Would you not learn the  lesson of salvation through his learning? Why would you choose to

Tx:2.55  The body is a learning device for the mind. Learning devices are not  lessons in themselves. Their purpose is merely to facilitate the

Tx:3.72  It is a mistake to believe that a thought system which is based on  lies is weak. Nothing made by a Child of God is without power. It is
Tx:3.73  battling Him for possession of the Souls He created. He deceives by  lies and builds kingdoms of his own in which everything is in direct
Tx:4.81  is a stepping-stone towards it. The whole value of right perception  lies in the inevitable judgment which it entails that it is
Tx:5.11  The Holy Spirit is the Christ Mind, which senses the knowledge that  lies beyond perception. It came into being with the separation as a
Tx:6.4  extreme example. Its value, like the value of any teaching device,  lies solely in the kind of learning it facilitates. It can be and has
Tx:6.6  and assault promotes fear. The real meaning of the crucifixion  lies in the apparent intensity of the assault of some of the Sons of

Tx:6.45  His guidance. The ego does not regard itself as part of you. Herein  lies its primary perceptual error, the foundation of its whole
Tx:6.60  the call to awake, whatever you have been dreaming. Nothing lasting  lies in dreams, and the Holy Spirit, shining with the light from God
Tx:7.50  as you were. The whole glory and perfect joy that is the Kingdom  lies in you to give. Do you not want to give it?
Tx:7.91  is how God created it. The Holy Spirit is the part of the mind that  lies between the ego and the Soul, mediating between them always in
Tx:7.105  open to choice, though it may seem to be. The whole separation  lies in this fallacy. The only way out of the fallacy is to decide
Tx:8.33  yourself. I will always remember you, and in my remembrance of you  lies your remembrance of yourself. In our remembrance of each other
Tx:8.33  lies your remembrance of yourself. In our remembrance of each other  lies our remembrance of God, and in this remembrance lies your
Tx:8.33  of each other lies our remembrance of God, and in this remembrance  lies your freedom, because your freedom is in Him. Join then with me
Tx:8.38  I offer you only the recognition of His power in you, but in that  lies all truth. As we unite, we unite with Him. Glory be to the union
Tx:8.38  with Him. Glory be to the union of God and His holy Sons! All glory  lies in them because they are united. The miracles we do bear witness
Tx:8.46  is valuable. There can be no question of its worth because its value  lies in God's sharing Himself with it and establishing its value
Tx:8.49  each other we cannot function at all. The whole power of God's Son  lies in all of us, but not in any of us alone. God would not have us

Tx:9.14 Forgiveness through the Holy Spirit  lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning and thus
Tx:9.55  reality. Truth is not obscure nor hidden, but its obviousness to you  lies in the joy you bring to its witnesses, who show it to you. They
Tx:9.65  done this but you? Recognize this gladly, for in this recognition  lies the realization that your banishment is not of God and therefore
Tx:9.100  ceased to acknowledge you and that in His acknowledgment of you  lies your Being. You are not sick, and you cannot die. But you can
Tx:10.5  Sonship, recognizing your need of healing for yourself? For in this  lies the beginning of knowledge, the foundation on which God will

Tx:10.33 The peace of your Soul  lies in its limitlessness. Limit the peace you share, and your own
Tx:10.41  implies the power to do something, and the whole separation fallacy  lies in the belief that the ego has the power to do anything. The ego
Tx:10.45  of creation, not of autonomy. Your whole creative function  lies in your complete dependence on God, Whose function He shares
Tx:10.45  you the knowledge of your dependence on God in which your freedom  lies. The ego sees all dependency as threatening and has twisted even
Tx:10.64  gladly because it is the symbol of joy. Its whole compelling power  lies in the fact that it represents what you want to be. The freedom
Tx:10.66  whom God has given eternal life. The dream of crucifixion still  lies heavy on your eyes, but what you see in dreams is not reality.
Tx:10.89  too will laugh at your fears and replace them with peace. For fear  lies not in reality, but in the minds of children who do not
Tx:11.25  fact of his insistence should tell you that he believes salvation  lies in it. If you insist on refusing and experience a quick response
Tx:11.25  quick response of opposition, you are believing that your salvation  lies in not doing it. You, then, are making the same mistake that he
Tx:11.34  source, and where it began it must end. For in this same place also  lies salvation. The altar of God where Christ abideth is there.
Tx:11.61  sends you for your blessing. In every Child of God His blessing  lies, and in your blessing of the Children of God is His blessing to
Tx:11.85  another as unworthy of love and deserving of punishment. But herein  lies the split. For the mind that judges perceives itself as separate
Tx:12.3  him to death. You do not even suspect this murderous but insane idea  lies hidden there, for the ego's destructive urge is so intense that
Tx:12.9  him and have never been separated from him. In this understanding  lies your remembering, for it is the recognition of love without
Tx:12.14  from yourself and make you little. For you believe that magnitude  lies in defiance and that attack is grandeur. You think you have made
Tx:12.22  not do this to you. Could He set you apart, knowing that your peace  lies in His Oneness? He denied you only your request for pain, for
Tx:12.30  past or future, that the beginning of the appreciation of eternity  lies. For only now is here, and it presents the opportunities for the

Tx:12.49  Let no dark cloud out of your past obscure him from you, for truth  lies only in the present, and you will find it if you seek it there.
Tx:12.50  for it holds the only things that are forever true. All healing  lies within it because its continuity is real. It extends to all

Tx:13.4  light under His loving gaze are partial glimpses of the Heaven that  lies beyond them.
Tx:13.15 Lay not his guilt upon him, for his guilt  lies in his secret that he thinks that he has done this unto you.
Tx:13.16  unto yourself. In every condemnation that you offer the Son of God  lies the conviction of your own guilt. If you would have the Holy
Tx:13.23 When you maintain that you are guilty but the source  lies in the past, you are not looking inward. The past is not in you.
Tx:13.46  with truth, and only truth, in which the peace of Heaven  lies.
Tx:13.53  what you have made [nor escape the heavy burden of its dullness that  lies upon your minds], cannot see through it. It deceives you because
Tx:13.62  he also meets the conditions of knowledge in the Kingdom. All this  lies in the Holy Spirit's plan to free you from the past and open up
Tx:13.76  do not understand it. Make no decisions about what it is or where it  lies, but ask of the Holy Spirit everything and leave all decisions
Tx:13.80  to anticipate all that you cannot know when all knowledge  lies behind every decision which the Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn
Tx:14.15  him into it by blessing him. Holiness must be shared, for therein  lies everything that makes it holy. Come gladly to the holy circle,
Tx:14.16  so its value is unknown. The hidden is kept apart, but value always  lies in joint appreciation. What is concealed cannot be loved, and so
Tx:14.25  on which you have erected your insane system of belief, the truth  lies hidden. Yet you cannot know this, for by hiding truth in fear,
Tx:14.32  gave you and the power He bestowed upon His guiltless Son. All this  lies hidden in every darkened place shrouded in guilt and in the dark
Tx:14.32  denial of innocence. Behind the dark doors which you have closed  lies nothing, because nothing can obscure the gift of God. It is the
Tx:14.34  cease. The holy meeting place of the unseparated Father and His Son  lies in the Holy Spirit and in you. All interference in the
Tx:14.61  to Whom God gave it. This lesson shines with God's glory, for in it  lies His power, which He shares so gladly with His Son.
Tx:14.74  Creator must encompass faith in His creation. In this consistency  lies His holiness, which He cannot abandon, for it is not His Will to
Tx:15.11  more than merely hell does not exist. In this redeeming instant  lies Heaven. And Heaven will not change, for the birth into the holy
Tx:15.15  Who transcends time for you understands what time is for. Holiness  lies not in time but in eternity. There never was an instant in which
Tx:15.38  you willingly and gladly give over every plan but His. For there  lies peace, perfectly clear because you have been willing to meet its
Tx:15.41  possible to harbor thoughts you would not share and that salvation  lies in keeping your thoughts to yourself alone. For in private
Tx:15.47  For it is the complete equality of the Atonement in which salvation  lies. How can you decide that special aspects of the Sonship can give
Tx:15.53  His frame of reference is simply God. The Holy Spirit's timelessness  lies only here. For in the holy instant, free of the past, you see
Tx:15.60 Herein  lies peace, for here there is no conflict. In the world of scarcity,
Tx:15.77 Forgiveness  lies in communication as surely as damnation lies in guilt. It is the
Tx:15.77 Forgiveness lies in communication as surely as damnation  lies in guilt. It is the Holy Spirit's teaching function to instruct
Tx:15.84  and yet He understands it because you have made it. In Him alone  lies the awareness of what God cannot know and what you do not
Tx:15.106  to deny what love is and still recognize it. The meaning of love  lies in what you have cast outside yourself, and it has no meaning at
Tx:16.2 The clearest proof that empathy as the ego uses it is destructive  lies in the fact that it is applied only to certain types of problems
Tx:16.7  hopes to find love there. The power of love, which is its meaning,  lies in the strength of God, which hovers over it and blesses it
Tx:16.30 Be not afraid to look upon the special hate relationship, for freedom  lies in looking at it. It would be impossible not to know the meaning
Tx:16.30  that makes love meaningless to you. The extent of the split that  lies in this you do not realize. And until you do, the split will
Tx:16.40  not the call of hate, and see no fantasies[, for your completion  lies in truth and nowhere else]. See in the call of hate and in every
Tx:16.40  And God has never forgotten what makes Him whole. In your completion  lies the memory of His wholeness and His gratitude to you for His
Tx:16.47  is and how it is accomplished. The Holy Spirit knows that completion  lies first in union and then in the extension of union. To the ego,
Tx:16.47  in union and then in the extension of union. To the ego, completion  lies in triumph and in the extension of the “victory” even to the
Tx:16.51 The appeal of hell  lies only in the terrible attraction of guilt, which the ego holds
Tx:16.51  who place their faith in littleness. The conviction of littleness  lies in every special relationship, for only the deprived could value
Tx:16.56 Salvation  lies in the simple fact that illusions are not fearful because they
Tx:16.57 The core of the separation delusion  lies simply in the fantasy of destruction of love's meaning. And
Tx:16.60  this is its real appeal, for the ego has taught you that freedom  lies in it. Yet the closer you look at the special relationship, the
Tx:16.80  Praise be to your relationship with Him and to no other. The truth  lies here and nowhere else. You choose this or nothing.
Tx:17.1 The betrayal of the Son of God  lies only in illusions, and all his “sins” are but his own imagining.
Tx:17.35  for these aspects enclose the whole, complete in every aspect. Death  lies in this glittering gift. Let not your gaze dwell on the hypnotic
Tx:17.37  as what it represents. For as the whole thought system of the ego  lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven lies in this instant,
Tx:17.37  thought system of the ego lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven  lies in this instant, borrowed from eternity and set in time for you.
Tx:17.41  in clear cut and unmistakable contrast, is transformed into what  lies beyond the picture. As you look on this, you realize that it is
Tx:17.42  Him as in the whole. The whole reality of your relationship with Him  lies in our relationship to one another. The holy instant shines
Tx:17.70  might, so great it reaches past the stars and to the universe that  lies beyond them, your little faithlessness can make it useless if
Tx:18.3  to introduce quite variable behavior, a far more serious effect  lies in the fragmented perception from which the behavior stems. No
Tx:18.11  is restored to all the Sonship through your relationship, for in it  lies the Sonship, whole and beautiful, safe in your love. Heaven has
Tx:18.28  and will strengthen your desire to reach it. And in your desire  lies its accomplishment. Your desire is now in complete accord with
Tx:18.33  the state its coming brings with it. The miracle of the holy instant  lies in your willingness to let it be what it is. And in your
Tx:18.33  to let it be what it is. And in your willingness for this  lies also your acceptance of yourself as you were meant to be.
Tx:18.87  to you is quite external. There are no messages which speak of what  lies underneath, for it is not the body that could speak of this. Its
Tx:18.88 The circle of fear  lies just below the level the body sees and seems to be the whole
Tx:18.96 Love is not learned. Its meaning  lies in itself. And learning ends when you have recognized all it is
Tx:18.97  of love, sent from beyond forgiveness to remind you of all that  lies beyond it. Yet it is through forgiveness that it will be
Tx:19.21  necessarily protected with every defense at its disposal. For here  lies its “best” defense which all the others serve. Here is its
Tx:19.38  it was given you. All this will you do. Yet the peace which already  lies deeply within must first expand and flow across the obstacles
Tx:19.61  body really given you that justifies your strange belief that in it  lies salvation? Do you not see that this is the belief in death? Here
Tx:19.70 Here is your choice, and it is free. But all that  lies in it will come with it, and what you think you are can never be
Tx:19.70  from it. The body is the great seeming betrayer of faith. In it  lies disillusionment and the seeds of faithlessness, but only if you
Tx:19.84  death that peace must flow across seems to be very great. For in it  lies hidden all the ego's secrets, all its strange devices for
Tx:19.86  not your protection; it is yours. For it is deathless, and within it  lies the end of death.
Tx:19.90  the universe and of the universe of universes and of everything that  lies even beyond them would you remember. And as this memory rises in
Tx:19.92  is there. This is the secret bargain made with the ego to keep what  lies beyond the veil forever blotted out and unremembered. Here is
Tx:19.94  and each has been surmounted by the power of the attraction of what  lies beyond. Your wanting fear seemed to be holding them in place.
Tx:19.110  this world and the long journey through this world whatever meaning  lies in them. Beyond this they are meaningless. You stand together,
Tx:20.12  not how to look nor where. And now you know. In you the knowledge  lies, ready to be unveiled and freed from all the terror that kept it
Tx:20.25  eyes unto your strong companion, in whom the meaning of your freedom  lies. He seemed to be crucified beside you. And yet his holiness
Tx:20.29  are alien and can no more enter than can their source. And therein  lies your need to see your brother sinless. In him is Heaven. See sin
Tx:20.29  you only love, but what you would receive of him is up to you. It  lies in him to overlook all your mistakes, and therein lies his own
Tx:20.29  up to you. It lies in him to overlook all your mistakes, and therein  lies his own salvation. And so it is with yours. [Salvation is a
Tx:20.33  does not need your part to help Him with the rest. For in your part  lies all of it, without which is no part complete, nor is the whole
Tx:20.39  the fear that rises from the meaningless attempt to judge what  lies so far beyond your judgment you cannot even see it? Judge not
Tx:20.45 The meaning of the Son of God  lies solely in his relationship with his Creator. If it were
Tx:20.51  threatened. You are idolaters no longer. The Holy Spirit's purpose  lies safe in your relationship and not your bodies. You have escaped
Tx:20.64  a difference between this vain imagining and vision. The difference  lies not in them, but in their purpose. Both are but means, each one
Tx:21.2  you joined the Will of God to set him free. There is no choice that  lies between these two decisions. And you will see the witness to the
Tx:21.4  You can be shown which doors are open, and you can see where safety  lies and which way leads to darkness, which to light. Judgment will
Tx:21.12  a miracle but this remembering? And who is there in whom this memory  lies not? The light in one awakens it in all. And when you see it in
Tx:21.14  but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of salvation  lies:
Tx:21.22  you is to make room for truth. You are not asked to make or do what  lies beyond your understanding. All you are asked to do is let it in;
Tx:21.34  it. But as He uses them, they lead away from sin because His purpose  lies in the opposite direction. He sees the means you use but not the
Tx:21.43  have detached themselves from their belief that their identity  lies in the ego. A holy relationship is one in which you join with
Tx:21.48  Be not held back by fear's insane insistence that sureness  lies in doubt. This has no meaning. What matters it to you how loudly
Tx:21.51 There is another vision and another Voice in which your freedom  lies awaiting but your choice. And if you place your faith in them,
Tx:21.52  to which the idea of separation has interfered with reason. Reason  lies in the other Self you have cut off from your awareness. And
Tx:21.57 The part of mind where reason  lies was dedicated by your will in union with your Father's to the
Tx:22.4  finally removes all sense of differences so that the sameness that  lies beneath them all becomes apparent. Here is the golden circle
Tx:22.21  and belief can fall to either side, but reason tells you that misery  lies only on one side and joy upon the other.

Tx:22.52  of the body has been chosen, the mind is used as means whose value  lies in its ability to contrive ways to achieve the body's freedom.
Tx:22.60  you. Let us look straight at how this error came about, for here  lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to keep the fear of God in
Tx:22.62  the other feeling pain. And this belief you want. Yet wherein  lies its value except in the desire to attack in safety? Attack is
Tx:23.9  cannot join. They are the same, and they are nothing. Their joining  lies in nothingness; two are as meaningless as one or as a thousand.
Tx:23.39  nor that return from one is easier. The whole descent from Heaven  lies in each one. And where your thinking starts, there must it end.
Tx:23.45  and that attack is justified on its behalf cannot perceive it  lies within them. How could they know? Could they accept forgiveness
Tx:24.49  He could never leave His own creation. And the sign that this is so  lies in your brother, offered you that all your doubts about yourself
Tx:24.57  Futility of function not fulfilled will haunt you while your brother  lies asleep, till what has been assigned to you is done and he is
Tx:25.6  be content and satisfied. It chooses where you think your safety  lies, at your decision. It reveals yourself to you as you would have
Tx:25.9  so that the aim of specialness can be corrected where the error  lies. Because His purpose still is one with both the Father and the
Tx:25.13  no suggestions of success at all. To place your hopes where no hope  lies must make you hopeless. Yet is this hopelessness your choice,
Tx:26.21  thing to make a choice at all is this distinction. And herein  lies the difference between the worlds. In this one, choice is made
Tx:26.23  for choice. That there is choice is an illusion. Yet within this one  lies the undoing of every illusion, not excepting this.
Tx:26.24  union? All illusions are but one. And in the recognition this is so  lies the ability to give up all attempts to choose between them and
Tx:26.25  be reflected from beyond the gate behind which total lack of limits  lies. Nothing in boundless love could need forgiveness. And what is
Tx:26.43  let it go, for it is gone. You stand no longer on the ground that  lies between the worlds. You have gone on and reached the world that
Tx:26.43  lies between the worlds. You have gone on and reached the world that  lies at Heaven's gate. There is no hindrance to the Will of God nor
Tx:26.50 God's answer  lies where the belief in sin must be, for only there can its effects
Tx:26.50  And this must be corrected where the illusion of reversal  lies.
Tx:26.59  attempt to prove your innocence while cherishing attack. Its failure  lies in that you still feel guilty, though without understanding why.
Tx:26.62  a miracle, whatever form they took. In every miracle all healing  lies, for God gave answer to them all as one. And what is one to Him
Tx:26.69  of gaining what forgiveness offers now. The interval you think  lies in between the giving and receiving of the gift seems to be one
Tx:26.75  which the “good” appears, is but one aspect of the little space that  lies between you, unforgiven still.
Tx:27.15  one and not the other. Who forgives is healed. And in his healing  lies the proof that he has truly pardoned and retains no trace of

Tx:27.56  truth is found in him if it is truth he represents. And otherwise he  lies, if you should call him by the holy Name of God Himself.
Tx:27.71  dreams about the truth in you. The gap between reality and dreams  lies not between the dreaming of the world and what you dream in
Tx:27.81  beginning, for the part you see is but the second part, whose cause  lies in the first. No one asleep and dreaming in the world remembers
Tx:28.35  will be seen without a cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness  lies and gently shows you that you never sinned. The miracle would
Tx:28.45  you, Father, knowing you will come to close each little gap that  lies between the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your holiness,
Tx:28.45  broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your holiness, complete and perfect,  lies in every one of them. And they are joined because what is in one
Tx:28.50  illusions and the truth to be the place where all your safety  lies and where your Self is safely hidden by what you have made. Here
Tx:28.61  will be one or not at all, its oneness being where the healing  lies. What could correct for separation but its opposite? There is no
Tx:28.65  it with further locks and chains and heavy anchors when its weakness  lies not in itself but in the frailty of the little gap of
Tx:28.66  wash away, and yet this house will stand forever, for its strength  lies not within itself alone. It is an ark of safety, resting on
Tx:29.5  of distance seen between you. Thus do you endow it with a power that  lies not within itself. And herein lies its power over you. For now
Tx:29.5  do you endow it with a power that lies not within itself. And herein  lies its power over you. For now you think that it determines when
Tx:29.17  that it can not be sick. In your demand that it be more than this  lies the idea of sickness. For it asks that God be less than all He
Tx:29.34  given as his own. Because he has it is it given you, and where it  lies in him, behold your peace. The quiet that surrounds you dwells
Tx:29.35 If you but knew the glorious goal that  lies beyond forgiveness, you would not keep hold on any thought,
Tx:29.38  the same in different form. Forgiveness is your peace, for herein  lies the end of separation and the dream of danger and destruction,
Tx:29.48  idols in the hope of peace. God dwells within, and your completion  lies in Him. No idol takes His place. Look not to idols. Do not seek
Tx:30.35  Your will is boundless; it is not your will that it be bound. What  lies in you has joined with God Himself in all creation's birth.
Tx:30.40 Behind the search for every idol  lies the yearning for completion. Wholeness has no form because it is
Tx:30.49  And you attack them for the things you think they represent. What  lies beyond them cannot be attacked.
Tx:30.64  in showing you the way that He must walk with you? His blessing  lies on you as surely as His Father's love rests upon Him. His
Tx:30.65  with it goes all hatred and all fear. Look back no longer, for what  lies ahead is all you ever wanted in your hearts. Give up the world!
Tx:30.69 The Will of God forever  lies in those whose hands are joined. Until they joined, they thought
Tx:30.86 Escape from judgment simply  lies in this—all things have but one purpose which you share with
Tx:31.74  kept from everything you see. At most, you glimpse a shadow of what  lies beyond. At least, you merely look on darkness and perceive the
W1:4.2  them. The “good” ones of which you are aware are but shadows of what  lies beyond, and shadows make sight difficult. The “bad” ones are
W1:11.1  for in this idea is your release made sure. The key to forgiveness  lies in it.
W1:12.1 The importance of this idea  lies in the fact that it contains a correction for a major perceptual
W1:31.4  of independence in the name of your own freedom. And in your freedom  lies the freedom of the world.
W1:38.7 There is nothing my holiness cannot do because the power of God  lies in it.
W1:51.5  intended to replace. My thoughts are meaningless, but all creation  lies in the thoughts I think with God.
W1:55.4 [23] I can escape from the world by giving up attack thoughts. Herein  lies my salvation, and nowhere else. Without attack thoughts I could

W1:70.4  and so He has kept the Source of healing where the need for healing  lies. You have tried to do just the opposite, making every attempt,

W1:80.5  has one solution. It is in this that the simplicity of salvation  lies. It is because of this that it is guaranteed to work.

W1:92.4  past appearances. It keeps its steady gaze upon the light that  lies beyond them. It unites with light, of which it is a part. It
W1:99.9  strength in what you say, for these are words in which your freedom  lies. Your Father loves you. All the world of pain is not His Will.
W1:106.5  Hear Him today, and listen to the Word which lifts the veil which  lies upon the earth and wakes all those who sleep and cannot see. God
W1:126.8  today. And if you only catch a tiny glimpse of the release which  lies in the idea we practice for today, this is a day of glory for
W1:127.3  judge. As it is one itself, it looks on all as one. Its meaning  lies in oneness. And it must elude the mind that thinks of it as
W1:131.4  power to do so. Otherwise, you still are free to choose a goal that  lies beyond the world and every worldly thought and one which comes
W1:131.14  them in your mind which you could not completely lock to hide what  lies beyond.
W1:131.15  nor sought; nothing before this door you really want, and only what  lies past it do you seek.
W1:132.5  you came. There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein  lies your ultimate release. Change but your mind on what you want to
W1:134.7  through the thousand forms in which they may appear. It looks on  lies but it is not deceived. It does not heed the self-accusing
W1:134.8  It is because of this that it becomes the undeceiver in the face of  lies, the great restorer of the simple truth. By its ability to
W1:134.10  as God Himself intended it to be and as it is in truth. It is but  lies which would condemn. In truth is innocence the only thing there
W1:134.10  illusions and the truth, between the world you see and that which  lies beyond, between the hell of guilt and Heaven's gate.
W1:135.1  is real, and that his own defense can save himself? And herein  lies the folly of defense—it gives illusions full reality and then
W1:136.11  as these, with God made blind by your illusions, truth turned into  lies, and all the universe made slave to laws which your defenses
W1:137.4 Sickness would prove that  lies must be the truth. But healing demonstrates that truth is true.
W1:138.5  cannot be learned but only recognized. In recognition its acceptance  lies, and as it is accepted, it is known. But knowledge is beyond the
W1:152.11  accepted as our own. Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that  lies are false and only truth is true.

W1:164.5  is the day when vain imaginings part like a curtain to reveal what  lies beyond them. Now is what is really there made visible, while all
W1:165.1  makes this world seem real except your own denial of the truth which  lies beyond? What but your thoughts of misery and death obscure the

W1:165.7  And in His Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness  lies beyond our every doubt. His love remains beyond our every fear.
W1:168.2  kind unthinkable. His grace His answer is to all despair, for in it  lies remembrance of His Love. Would He not gladly give the means by
W1:168.5  and holy day today, for we receive what has been given us. Our faith  lies in the Giver, not our own acceptance. We acknowledge our
W1:169.6  endless present, where the past and future cannot be conceived. It  lies beyond salvation—past all thought of time, forgiveness, and
W1:R5.15  for the experience and recognize that it is only here conviction  lies. We use the words, and try and try again to go beyond them to

W2:WIB.5  that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth and not in  lies. Love is your safety. Fear does not exist. Identify with love,

W2:336.1  sights and sounds at best can serve but to recall the memory that  lies beyond them all. Forgiveness sweeps away distortions and opens
W2:342.1  me. The key is in my hand, and I have reached the door beyond which  lies the end of dreams. I stand before the gate of Heaven, wondering
M:4.15  and limitless strength of gentleness? The might of God's teachers  lies in their gentleness, for they have understood their evil

M:16.6  all the fearful things you see in dreams. It is not so. Your safety  lies not there. What you give up is merely the illusion of protecting
M:17.5  Yet that it can be believed as fact is surely so. And herein  lies the birthplace of guilt. Who usurps the place of God and takes

W1:110.3  health cannot turn to sickness, nor can death be substitute for  life or fear for love. All this has not occurred if you remain as God

W1:124.2  How easily do errors disappear and death give place to everlasting  life. Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for God is our

W1:131.3  because it is the search for nothingness, and while you seek for  life you ask for death. You look for safety and security while in

Tx:10.3  The cornerstone of God's creation is you, for His thought system is  light. Remember the rays that are there unseen. The more you approach
Tx:10.3  more you approach the center of His thought system, the clearer the  light becomes. The closer you come to [the foundation of] the ego's
Tx:10.3  the little spark in your mind is enough to lighten it. Bring this  light fearlessly with you and hold it up to the foundation of the
Tx:10.3  cornerstone of terror on which it rests and bring it out into the  light. There you will see that it rests on meaninglessness and that

Tx:11.15 The  light in them shines as brightly, regardless of the density of the

Tx:12.70  need. For He will give you all things that do not block the way to  light. And what else could you need? In time He gives you all the
Tx:12.71  your mind and kept to hurt you. Under His guidance, you will travel  light and journey lightly, for His sight is ever on the journey's end
Tx:12.71  himself holds his inheritance. Within himself he has no needs, for  light needs nothing but to shine in peace and from itself to let the
Tx:12.72  are tempted to undertake a foolish journey that would lead away from  light, remember what you really want and say,
Tx:12.75  has offered but to take away. And we will spread it like a veil of  light across the world's sad face, in which we hide our brothers from
Tx:13.2  under His guidance, for the vision of Christ beholds everything in  light. Yet no perception, however holy, will last forever.
Tx:13.4  is not His reality. The golden aspects of reality which spring to  light under His loving gaze are partial glimpses of the Heaven that
Tx:13.5  until you see that every aspect is the same, perceived in the same  light and therefore one. Everyone seen without the past thus brings
Tx:13.5  healing sight into the darkness and enabling the world to see. For  light must come into the darkened world to make Christ's vision
Tx:13.5  Christ's vision possible even here. Help Him to give His gift of  light to all who think they wander in the darkness, and let Him
Tx:13.8  and we will all unite in the eternity of God the Father. The holy  light you saw outside yourself in every miracle you offered to your
Tx:13.8  to your brothers will be returned to you. And knowing that the  light is in you, your creations will be there with you, as you are in
Tx:13.11  to the past as is the ego's law. Fidelity unto this law lets no  light in, for it demands fidelity to darkness and forbids awakening.
Tx:13.17  for while you see one spot of guilt within you, you will not see the  light. And by projecting it, the world seems dark and shrouded in
Tx:13.18  the dark in which they shroud them, are too afraid to look upon the  light within. Within you is not what you believe is there and what
Tx:13.19  deny His knowledge, but you cannot change it. Look, then, upon the  light He placed within you and learn that what you feared was there
Tx:13.28  and look past darkness to the holy place where you will see the  light. The altar to your Father is as pure as He Who raised it to
Tx:13.29  would be released. There is no other way to look within and see the  light of love shining as steadily and as surely as God Himself has
Tx:13.43  him. He will learn the lesson of awaking. God watches over him, and  light surrounds him.
Tx:13.59  did not make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He brings the  light of truth into the darkness and lets it shine on you. And as it
Tx:13.59  you. And as it shines, your brothers see it, and realizing that this  light is not what you have made, they see in you more than you see.
Tx:13.59  than you see. They will be happy learners of the lesson which this  light brings to them because it teaches them release from nothing and
Tx:13.59  them unto despair they do not see as nothing until you bring the  light to them. And then they see the chains have disappeared, and so
Tx:13.62  this door of nothing and behind it is nothing. The key is only the  light which shines away the shapes and forms and fears of nothing.
Tx:13.62  gives it to you that you may join Him in the holy task of bringing  light to darkness. For, like your brothers, you do not realize the
Tx:13.62  light to darkness. For, like your brothers, you do not realize the  light has come and freed you from the sleep of darkness.
Tx:13.63  in their freedom and learn of them how to be free of darkness. The  light in you will waken them, and they will not leave you asleep. The
Tx:13.70  given him to heal is another opportunity to replace darkness with  light and fear with love. If he refuses it, he binds himself to
Tx:13.70  to darkness because he did not choose to free his brother and enter  light with him. By giving power to nothing, he threw away the joyous
Tx:13.70  And by not dispelling darkness, he became afraid of darkness and of  light. The joy of learning that darkness has no power over the Son of
Tx:13.80  decisions are reflections of what God knows about you, and in this  light, error of any kind becomes impossible. Why would you struggle
Tx:14.3 The Children of Heaven live in the  light of the blessing of their Father because they know that they are

Tx:14.17 The quiet  light in which the Holy Spirit dwells within you is merely perfect
Tx:14.17  brought to love, not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the  light of love will not dispel, unless it is concealed from love's
Tx:14.18  will be so no longer. Without protection of obscurity, only the  light of love remains, for only this has meaning and can live in
Tx:14.18  the light of love remains, for only this has meaning and can live in  light. Everything else must disappear.
Tx:14.19 Death yields to life simply because destruction is not true. The  light of guiltlessness shines guilt away because, when they are

Tx:14.23  at all is carefully concealed. We must open all doors and let the  light come streaming through. There are no hidden chambers in God's
Tx:14.24 What do you want?  Light or darkness, knowledge or ignorance are yours, but not both.
Tx:14.24  real must disappear, for truth is union. As darkness disappears in  light, so ignorance fades away when knowledge dawns. Perception is
Tx:14.28  apparent. One will go because the other is seen in the same place.  Light cannot enter darkness when a mind believes in darkness and will
Tx:14.30  and lighten it away. At your request He enters gladly. He brings the  light to darkness if you make the darkness open to Him. But what you
Tx:14.30  and secret thoughts to Him and look upon them with Him. He holds the  light, and you the darkness. They cannot coexist when both of you
Tx:14.39  when its impossible nature is clearly revealed? What disappears in  light is not attacked. It merely vanishes because it is not true.

Tx:17.53  your appreciation flickered and grown dim in what seemed to be the  light of the mistakes? You are now entering upon a campaign to blame
Tx:17.71  That Cause has entered any situation which shares Its purpose. The  light of truth shines from the center of the situation and touches
Tx:18.13  is given you with the glowing purpose in which you join. The holy  light that brought you together must extend, as you accepted it.
Tx:18.24  has led to other dreams, and every fantasy which seemed to bring a  light into the darkness but made the darkness deeper. Your goal was
Tx:18.24  made the darkness deeper. Your goal was darkness in which no ray of  light could enter. And you sought a blackness so complete that you
Tx:18.24  What you forgot was simply that God cannot destroy Himself. The  light is in you. Darkness can cover it but cannot put it out.
Tx:18.25 As the  light comes nearer, you will rush to darkness, shrinking from the
Tx:18.25  you have stepped back. Let us then join quickly in an instant of  light, and it will be enough to remind you that your goal is light.
Tx:18.25  of light, and it will be enough to remind you that your goal is  light. Truth has rushed to meet you since you called upon it.
Tx:18.27  you agreed to leave with me? In your relationship is this world's  light. And fear must disappear before you now. Be tempted not to
Tx:18.29  who hid in darkness. You have been willing to bring the darkness to  light, and this willingness has given strength to everyone who would
Tx:18.29  who would see will see. And they will join with me in carrying their  light into the darkness when the darkness in them is offered to the
Tx:18.29  light into the darkness when the darkness in them is offered to the  light and is removed forever. My need for you, joined with me in the
Tx:18.29  and is removed forever. My need for you, joined with me in the holy  light of your relationship, is your need for salvation. Would I not
Tx:18.30  who are now the bringers of salvation have the function of bringing  light to darkness. The darkness in you has been brought to light.
Tx:18.30  bringing light to darkness. The darkness in you has been brought to  light. Carry it back to darkness from the holy instant to which you
Tx:18.31 Not one  light in Heaven but goes with you. Not one ray that shines forever in
Tx:18.31  Heaven is joined with you in your advance to Heaven. When such great  light has joined with you to give the little spark of your desire the
Tx:18.31  apart and which led nowhere. You have found each other and will  light each other's way. And from this light will the Great Rays
Tx:18.31  have found each other and will light each other's way. And from this  light will the Great Rays extend back into darkness and forward unto
Tx:18.31  room for His eternal Presence, in which everything is radiant in the  light.
Tx:18.67  with temptation and fight against the giving in to sin; when the  light comes at last into the mind given to contemplation; or when the
Tx:18.84 You have been told to bring the darkness to the  light and guilt to holiness. And you have also been told that error
Tx:18.85  to you, returning your little offering of darkness to the eternal  Light.
Tx:18.89  Its thinness and transparency are not apparent until you see the  light behind it. And then you see it as a fragile veil before the
Tx:18.89  light behind it. And then you see it as a fragile veil before the  light.
Tx:18.92  nature as He leads you past them, for beneath them is a world of  light whereon they cast no shadows. Their shadows lie upon the world
Tx:18.92  Their shadows lie upon the world beyond them, still further from the  light. Yet from them to the light their shadows cannot fall.
Tx:18.92  beyond them, still further from the light. Yet from them to the  light their shadows cannot fall.
Tx:18.93 This world of  light, this circle of brightness, is the real world where guilt meets
Tx:18.94  you to something completely different. Here is the Source of  light—nothing perceived, forgiven, nor transformed, but merely
Tx:18.97  with forgiveness, and set shining and firmly rooted in the world of  light. From there, it calls to you to follow the course it took,
Tx:19.39  see the Holy Spirit, but you can see your brothers truly. And the  light in them will show you all that you need to see. When the peace
Tx:19.45  keep you from the sun? No more can you be kept by shadows from the  light in which illusions end. Every miracle is but the end of an
Tx:19.65  me all the sins you think the Son of God committed. And in the  light of your forgiveness, he will remember who he is and forget what
Tx:19.67  already, will be the focus of the new perception that will bring  light to all the world, contained in you.
Tx:19.84  For death is seen as safety, the great dark savior from the  light of truth, the answer to the Answer, the silencer of the Voice
Tx:19.91  like to a leper's and the bright rays of His Father's love which  light His face with glory appear as streams of blood, fades in the
Tx:19.91  His face with glory appear as streams of blood, fades in the blazing  light beyond it when the fear of death is gone.
Tx:20.3  and delay him there. Help him to go in peace beyond it, with the  light of his own innocence lighting his way to his redemption and
Tx:20.7  upon it, making it worthy of their devotion. And each has set a  light upon his altar, that they may see what he has placed upon it
Tx:20.8  offer me. If it be thorns whose points gleam sharply in a blood-red  light, the body is your chosen home, and it is separation that you
Tx:20.13  you not have your holy brother lead you there? His innocence will  light your way, offering you its guiding light and sure protection,
Tx:20.13  there? His innocence will light your way, offering you its guiding  light and sure protection, and shining from the holy altar within him
Tx:20.22  He came without a purpose, but he will not remain before the shining  light the Holy Spirit offered and you accepted. For there the
Tx:20.25  and with eyes so long cast down in darkness they remember not the  light, do not leap up in joy the instant they are made free. It takes
Tx:20.27  as God created His Son holy and kept him so. In your brother is the  light of God's eternal promise of your immortality. See him as
Tx:20.41  The little breath of eternity that runs through time like golden  light is all the same—nothing before it, nothing afterwards.
Tx:20.69 Your brother's sinlessness is given you in shining  light, to look on with the Holy Spirit's vision and to rejoice in
Tx:21.4  can see where safety lies and which way leads to darkness, which to  light. Judgment will always give you false directions, but vision
Tx:21.10  everything you see and yet somehow familiar, is an arc of golden  light that stretches as you look into a great and shining circle. And
Tx:21.10  look into a great and shining circle. And all the circle fills with  light before your eyes. The edges of the circle disappear, and what
Tx:21.10  disappear, and what is in it is no longer contained at all. The  light expands and covers everything, extending to infinity, forever
Tx:21.10  that anything could be outside, for there is nowhere that this  light is not.
Tx:21.12  this remembering? And who is there in whom this memory lies not? The  light in one awakens it in all. And when you see it in each other,
Tx:21.39  other has disappeared from sight. Nor is it possible that what gives  light be one with what depends on darkness to be seen. Neither
Tx:21.40  to sin, and in the darkness so it still is seen. Yet in the  light of vision, it is looked upon quite differently. You can have
Tx:21.42  the ego tells you not to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will  light on sin, and God will strike you blind. This you believe, and so
Tx:22.27  the bodies that you interposed between you and shining in the golden  light which reaches it from the bright endless circle that extends
Tx:22.27  and disappears. For at its center Christ has been reborn to  light His home with vision that overlooks the world. Would you not
Tx:22.40  the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of Christ will  light your faces and shine from them into a darkened world that needs
Tx:22.40  your faces and shine from them into a darkened world that needs the  light. And from this holy place He will return with you, not leaving
Tx:22.41  beautiful the sight you saw beyond the veil which you will bring to  light the tired eyes of those as weary now as once you were. How
Tx:22.54  lovely in its innocence, mighty in strength, and blazing with a  light far brighter than the sun which lights the sky you see, is
Tx:22.55  And every empty place in Heaven that you fill again with the Eternal  Light you bring shines now on you. The means of sinlessness can know
Tx:22.56 Children of peace, the  light has come to you. The light you bring you do not recognize, and
Tx:22.56 Children of peace, the light has come to you. The  light you bring you do not recognize, and yet you will remember. Who
Tx:22.59  each other. And let the darkness be dispelled by Him Who knows the  light and lays it gently in each quiet smile of faith and confidence
Tx:22.65 The  light that joins you shines throughout the universe, and because it
Tx:23.5  alone in his temptation but help him rise above it and perceive the  light of which he is a part. Your innocence will light the way to
Tx:23.5  it and perceive the light of which he is a part. Your innocence will  light the way to his, and so is yours protected and kept in your
Tx:23.6  around you but is part of you. Look on it lovingly, and see the  light of Heaven in it. So will you come to understand all that is
Tx:23.17  the house of God perceives itself divided. The altar disappears, the  light grows dim, the temple of the Holy One becomes a house of sin.
Tx:23.19 The “laws” of chaos can be brought to  light, though never understood. Chaotic laws are hardly meaningful
Tx:23.50 The lovely  light of your relationship is like the love of God. It cannot yet
Tx:23.54  They want for nothing. Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the  light they love is in awareness, and only love shines upon them
Tx:24.44  is given them. And what they see and hear and hold and lead is given  light that you may lead as you were led.
Tx:24.59  entry shut against intrusion and every window barred against the  light. Always attacked and always furious, with anger always fully
Tx:24.66  is perceived as means for truth shares in its holiness and rests in  light as safely as itself. Nor will that light go out when it is
Tx:24.66  its holiness and rests in light as safely as itself. Nor will that  light go out when it is gone. Its holy purpose gave it immortality,
Tx:24.66  it is gone. Its holy purpose gave it immortality, setting another  light in Heaven, where your creations recognize a gift from you, a
Tx:24.70  yourself, and you will see a body. Look at this body in a different  light, and it looks different. And without a light, it seems that it
Tx:24.70  body in a different light, and it looks different. And without a  light, it seems that it is gone. Yet you are reassured that it is
Tx:25.3  that Christ sets forth the remedy. His purpose folds the body in His  light and fills it with the holiness that shines from Him. And
Tx:25.7  each body that it looks upon and brushes all its darkness into  light merely by looking past it to the light. The veil is lifted
Tx:25.7  brushes all its darkness into light merely by looking past it to the  light. The veil is lifted through its gentleness, and nothing hides
Tx:25.18  up the sinlessness the frame of darkness hides and casts a veil of  light across the picture's face, which but reflects the light that
Tx:25.18  a veil of light across the picture's face, which but reflects the  light that shines from it to its Creator. Think not this face was
Tx:25.22  you is given the power of salvation that escape from darkness into  light be yours to share; that you may see as one what never has been
Tx:25.27  attempts of specialness to put it out of mind where it must be and  light the body up instead of it. The lamps of Heaven are not for it
Tx:25.27  with Heaven's Help within him ready to lead him out of darkness into  light at any time.
Tx:25.29  want to see peace and forgiveness descend on them and offer them the  light.
Tx:25.34  which extends to all of them and covers them in gentleness and  light. And in this widening world of light, the darkness they thought
Tx:25.34  covers them in gentleness and light. And in this widening world of  light, the darkness they thought was there is pushed away until it is
Tx:25.35  the sun in you has risen that they may be pushed away before the  light. They linger for a while, a little while, in twisted forms too
Tx:25.36  mistakes be brought to truth than by your willingness to bring the  light of Heaven with you as you walk beyond the world of darkness
Tx:25.36  of Heaven with you as you walk beyond the world of darkness into  light?

Tx:25.49  Only in darkness does your specialness appear to be attack. In  light, you see it as your special function in the plan to save the
Tx:25.56  problem is their choices are not free and made with reason in the  light of sense.
Tx:26.7  is known to God and can no more be sacrificed by you than can the  light in you be blotted out because he sees it not. You who would
Tx:26.26  sin into a world of glory, wonderful to see. Each flower shines in  light, and every bird sings of the joy of Heaven. There is no
Tx:26.27  altars is set where once sin was believed to be. And here does every  light of heaven come to be rekindled and increased in joy. For here

Tx:26.83  lovingly, to keep away all darkened thoughts of sin and keep the  light where it has entered in. Your footprints lighten up the world,
Tx:26.90  perceive to lighten up your way. And so you see yourself deprived of  light, abandoned to the dark, unfairly left without a purpose in a

Tx:27.36  be an answer from one point of view is not an answer in another  light. You are in conflict. Thus it must be clear you cannot answer
Tx:27.48  in thanks to you who blessing gave. The holy instant's radiance will  light your eyes and give them sight to see beyond all suffering and
Tx:27.76  your Father gives to you. Let all your brother's gifts be seen in  light of charity and kindness offered you. And let no pain disturb
Tx:29.3  but this one still remains to block your path and make the way to  light seem dark and fearful, perilous and bleak. You had decided that
Tx:29.21  of truth—no more, perhaps, than just a tiny spark, a space of  light created in the dark, where God still shines.
Tx:29.22  savior from your dreams. And as you see him shining in the space of  light where God abides within the darkness, you will see that God
Tx:29.22  you will see that God Himself is where his body is. Before this  light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way to light.
Tx:29.22  this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way to  light. The darkness cannot choose that it remain. The coming of the
Tx:29.22  light. The darkness cannot choose that it remain. The coming of the  light means it is gone. In glory will you see your brother then and
Tx:29.23  your brother, that the darkness may be lifted from your mind. When  light has come to him through your forgiveness, he will not forget
Tx:29.23  his savior, leaving him unsaved. For it was in your face he saw the  light that he would keep beside him as he walks through darkness to
Tx:29.23  keep beside him as he walks through darkness to the everlasting  light.
Tx:29.24  And as his Father lost not part of Him in your creation, so the  light in him is brighter still because you gave your light to him to
Tx:29.24  so the light in him is brighter still because you gave your  light to him to save him from the dark. And now the light in you must
Tx:29.24  you gave your light to him to save him from the dark. And now the  light in you must be as bright as shines in him. This is the spark
Tx:29.35  beyond forgiveness, you would not keep hold on any thought, however  light the touch of evil on it may appear to be. For you would
Tx:29.50  have made of your reality an idol which you must protect against the  light of truth. And all the world becomes the means by which this
Tx:29.54  which seems to shut you off from Him, alone in darkness. Yet the  light is there. A cloud does not put out the sun. No more a veil can
Tx:29.54  veil can banish what it seems to separate nor darken by one whit the  light itself.
Tx:29.56  and eternal peace. The miracle does not restore the truth, the  light the veil between has not put out. It merely lifts the veil and
Tx:29.58  time can interrupt eternity? A place of darkness set where all is  light, a dismal alcove separated off from what is endless, has no
Tx:29.64  have accomplished and have done to make you sinful and put out the  light within you. Little children, it is there. You do but dream, and
Tx:30.35  but gives you thanks, for it is by your will that it was born. No  light of Heaven shines except for you, for it was set in Heaven by
Tx:30.45  eternity. There was no time it was not there; no instant when its  light grew dimmer or less perfect ever was.
Tx:30.46 Who knows the Father knows this  light, for He is the eternal sky which holds it safe, forever lifted
Tx:30.64 How  light and easy is the step across the narrow boundaries of the world

W1:44.2 In order to see, you must recognize that  light is within, not without. You do not see outside yourself, nor is

W1:56.5  Behind every veil I have drawn across the face of love, its  light remains undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my will united
W1:57.6  from deep within myself. The world I look upon has taken on the  light of my forgiveness and shines forgiveness back at me. In this
W1:57.6  light of my forgiveness and shines forgiveness back at me. In this  light, I begin to see what my illusions about myself had kept hidden.
W1:58.3  does not bless me alone. Everyone and everything I see in its  light shares in the joy it brings to me. There is nothing that is
W1:59.5 [44] God is the  Light in which I see. I cannot see in darkness. God is the only
W1:59.5  the Light in which I see. I cannot see in darkness. God is the only  Light. Therefore if I am to see, it must be through Him. I have tried

W1:61.1 Who is the  light of the world except God's Son? This, then, is merely a
W1:61.2  taking no other. It is not humility to insist that you cannot be the  light of the world if that is the function God assigned to you. It is
W1:61.6 I am the  light of the world. That is my only function. That is why I am here.
W1:61.10 You are the  light of the world. God has built His plan for the salvation of His
W1:62.1 It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of darkness to the  light. It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize the light in
W1:62.1  to the light. It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize the  light in which you see. Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are
W1:62.1  in which you see. Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the  light of the world. Through your forgiveness does the truth about
W1:62.6 Forgiveness is my function as the  light of the world. I would fulfill my function that I may be happy.
W1:63.2 You are indeed the  light of the world with such a function. The Son of God looks to you
W1:63.4 The  light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness.
W1:64.3 To review our last few lessons, your function here is to be the  light of the world, a function given you by God. It is only the
W1:67.1  and accurate statement of what you are. This is why you are the  light of the world. This is why God appointed you as the world's
W1:67.6  the interval of thoughtlessness to the awareness of a blazing  light in which you recognize yourself as Love created you. Be
W1:69.1  what your grievances conceal. Because your grievances are hiding the  light of the world in you, everyone stands in darkness, and you
W1:69.1  stood beside you when you were in hell. He is your brother in the  light of the world which saves you both.
W1:69.2 Today let us make another real attempt to reach the  light in you. Before we undertake this in our more extended practice
W1:69.3  is our only goal. Let us end the ancient search today by finding the  light in us and holding it up for everyone who searches with us to
W1:69.5  you stand, you can see no reason to believe there is a brilliant  light hidden by the clouds. The clouds seem to be the only reality.
W1:69.6  perfect stillness, remembering only how much you want to reach the  light in you today—now. Determine to go past the clouds. Reach out
W1:69.7  to help you, and God Himself will raise you from darkness into  light. You are in accord with His Will. You cannot fail because your
W1:69.8  yet receive it. Try, as you attempt to go through the clouds to the  light, to hold this confidence in your mind. Try to remember that you
W1:69.9  your happiness, remind yourself that your grievances are hiding the  light of the world from your awareness. Remind yourself also that you
W1:69.10 My grievances hide the  light of the world in me. I cannot see what I have hidden. Yet I want
W1:69.12 If I hold this grievance, the  light of the world will be hidden from me,
W1:70.12 Now we will try again to reach the  light in you, which is where your salvation is. You cannot find it in
W1:70.12  salvation is. You cannot find it in the clouds that surround the  light, and it is in them you have been looking for it. It is not
W1:70.12  looking for it. It is not there. It is past the clouds and in the  light beyond. Remember that you will have to go through the clouds
W1:70.12  that you will have to go through the clouds before you can reach the  light. But remember also that you have never found anything in the
W1:70.13  vainly for idols there when you could so easily walk on into the  light of real salvation. Try to pass the clouds by whatever means
W1:72.10 The  light of truth is in us, where it was placed by God. It is the body
W1:72.10  To be without a body is to be in our natural state. To recognize the  light of truth in us is to recognize ourselves as we are. To see our

W1:78.10  and as you think of him who grieved you, let your mind be shown the  light in him beyond your grievances. What you have asked for cannot

Tx:3.57  God did create the Soul in His own Thought and of a quality  like to His own. There is nothing else. Perception, on the other
Tx:4.9  ego must fear because it does not share my charity. My lesson was  like yours, and because I learned it, I can teach it. I never attack
Tx:4.64  own feelings, for this is the one right use of judgment. Judgment,  like any other defense, can be used to attack or protect, to hurt or
Tx:4.66  part of the minds of men and the healing of the mind. I was created  like you in the first, and I have called you to join with me in the
Tx:4.97  for the reception of His Mind and Will. Since only beings of a  like order can truly communicate, His creations naturally communicate
Tx:4.97  truly communicate, His creations naturally communicate with Him and  like Him. This communication is perfectly abstract in that its
Tx:4.99  because real creation gives everything, since it can create only  like itself. Remember that in being there is no difference between
Tx:4.102  of God, and He will return their praise of Him because they are  like Him, and they can rejoice together. God goes out to them and
Tx:5.13  the Sonship, induces a kind of perception in which many elements are  like those in the Kingdom of Heaven itself.
Tx:5.27 My mind will always be  like yours, because we were created as equals. It was only my
Tx:5.30  you how to keep me as the model for your thought and to behave  like me as a result.
Tx:5.57  joint will of all the Sonship is the only creator that can create  like the Father, because only the complete can think completely, and
Tx:5.63  that you must learn to think with God. To think with Him is to think  like Him. This engenders joy, not guilt, because it is natural. Guilt
Tx:5.67 The Holy Spirit,  like the ego, is a decision. Together they constitute all the
Tx:5.67  you have made can always be changed, because when you do not think  like God you are not really thinking at all. Delusional ideas are not
Tx:5.72  or abandonment and thus ensure that the future will remain  like the past. This is the ego's continuity and gives it a false
Tx:6.4  The crucifixion is nothing more than an extreme example. Its value,  like the value of any teaching device, lies solely in the kind of
Tx:6.8 I have made it perfectly clear that I am  like you and you are like me, but our fundamental equality can be
Tx:6.8 I have made it perfectly clear that I am like you and you are  like me, but our fundamental equality can be demonstrated only
Tx:6.20  whose whole gospel is only the message of love. These are not  like the several slips into impatience which I made. I had learned
Tx:6.57  Like any good teacher, the Holy Spirit does know more than you do
Tx:6.61  did. Death is an attempt to resolve conflict by not willing at all.  Like any other impossible solution which the ego attempts, it will
Tx:6.94  teaches healing. This establishes you as a teacher who teaches  like me. Vigilance was required of me as much as of you, but remember
Tx:7.1  you share, and because you share it, you are inspired to create  like God. Yet in creation you are not in reciprocal relation to God,
Tx:7.2  extend outward. God's accomplishments are not yours. But yours are  like His. He created the Sonship, and you increase it. You have the
Tx:7.4  always willing to make a “deal,” but it cannot understand that to be  like another means that no deals are possible. To gain you must give,
Tx:7.4  giving, and this is not God's Will. To will with God is to create  like Him. God does not limit His gifts in any way. You are His gifts,
Tx:7.4  His gifts in any way. You are His gifts, and so your gifts must be  like His. Your gifts to the Kingdom must be like His gifts to you.
Tx:7.4  so your gifts must be like His. Your gifts to the Kingdom must be  like His gifts to you.
Tx:7.6 To think  like God is to share His certainty of what you are and to create like
Tx:7.6  like God is to share His certainty of what you are and to create  like Him is to share the perfect love He shares with you. To this the
Tx:7.13  as a mind can [he overcome this]. Then he is free to use terms  like “intramental” and “intermental” without seeing them as different
Tx:7.14  Himself created the law by creating by it. And His Sons, who create  like Him, follow it gladly, knowing that the increase of the Kingdom
Tx:7.18  is why it is the Kingdom of God. It belongs to Him and is therefore  like Him. That is its reality, and nothing can assail it.
Tx:7.19  much it is not there. Actually, this does not mean anything. It is  like negative numbers in that the concept can be used theoretically,
Tx:7.32  at all. Science is nothing more than an approach to what already is.  Like inspiration it can be misunderstood as magic and will be
Tx:7.40  need the mind. The ego thus tries to teach you that the body can act  like the mind and is therefore self-sufficient. Yet we have learned
Tx:7.46  your whole meaning, and your only meaning, comes from His and is  like His. God cannot be out of accord with Himself, and you cannot be
Tx:7.76  own perfection until you have honored all those who were created  like you.
Tx:7.96  truth it is impossible. Your self-fullness is as boundless as God's.  Like His, it extends forever and in perfect peace. Its radiance is so
Tx:7.112  to be co-creator with God, because only the whole Sonship can create  like Him. Whenever you heal a brother by recognizing his worth, you
Tx:7.113  The Kingdom of God includes all His Sons and their children, who are  like the Sons as they are like the Father. Know then the Sons of God,
Tx:7.113  all His Sons and their children, who are like the Sons as they are  like the Father. Know then the Sons of God, and you will know all
Tx:8.14  this is how you were created. Because your Creator creates only  like Himself, you are like Him. You are part of Him Who is all power
Tx:8.14  created. Because your Creator creates only like Himself, you are  like Him. You are part of Him Who is all power and glory and are
Tx:8.32  which I can only acknowledge in honor of His. If you want to be  like me, I will help you, knowing that we are alike. If you want to
Tx:8.37  to make whole. Therefore, to heal is to unite with those who are  like you, because perceiving this likeness is to recognize the
Tx:8.45  what is real except the creations of God and those which are created  like His? Your creations love you as your Soul loves your Father for
Tx:8.48  by thought. God does not contradict Himself, and His Sons, who are  like Him, cannot contradict themselves or Him. Yet their thought is
Tx:8.98  that punishment is inevitable, attempts to teach himself to  like it. The truth is, very simply, that no one wants either
Tx:9.25  you find light by analyzing darkness as the psychotherapist does or  like the theologian, by acknowledging darkness in yourself and
Tx:9.37  until you remember God's open arms and finally know His open mind.  Like Him, you are “always,” in His Mind and with a mind like His. In
Tx:9.37  open mind. Like Him, you are “always,” in His Mind and with a mind  like His. In your open mind are your creations, in perfect
Tx:9.54  but you are exalted. And in your exalted state, you seek others  like you and rejoice with them.
Tx:9.61  but He gave you the power to create for your self so you could be  like Him. That is why your will is holy. Can anything exceed the love
Tx:9.95  he is an insane idea. He has many forms, but although he may seem  like many different things he is but one idea—the denial of God.
Tx:9.105  to yourself are meaningless, but your gifts to your creations are  like His because they are given in His Name. That is why your
Tx:10.8  Who placed no limits on His creation nor upon those who create  like Him. You do not know this simply because you have tried to limit
Tx:10.9  not childless. Because He did not will to be alone, He created a Son  like Himself. Do not deny Him His Son, for your unwillingness to
Tx:10.11  heritage because His one gift is Himself. How can you give except  like Him if you would know His gift to you? Give, then, without limit
Tx:10.13  will death for himself because His Father is Life and His Son is  like Him. Creation is your will because it is His.
Tx:10.15  Will of your Father is to know your own. For it is your will to be  like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God's Will is that His Son
Tx:10.20  but only because your care is a sign that you want Him. Think  like Him ever so slightly, and the little spark becomes a blazing
Tx:10.21  your will and your Father's be wholly joined. To have Him is to be  like Him, and He has given Himself to you. You who have God must be
Tx:10.25  and into the Presence of God. I cannot tell you what this will be  like, for your hearts are not ready. Yet I can tell you and remind
Tx:10.27  all darkness forever. For your Father is your Creator, and you are  like Him.
Tx:10.68  a part in the redemption as valuable as mine. For your part must be  like mine if you learn it of me. If you believe that yours is
Tx:10.68  To God all things are possible. And to Christ it is given to be  like the Father.
Tx:10.70  they are eternal because they are loving. And being loving, they are  like the Father and therefore cannot die. The real world can actually
Tx:10.71  unlike Him. Yet everything in what you have made that is true is  like Him. Only this is the real world, and perceiving only this will
Tx:11.41  parts of the Sonship, for God is whole, and all His extensions are  like Him.
Tx:11.91  to go in one direction, but when you reach its end, it will roll up  like a long carpet which has spread along the past behind you and
Tx:12.10  Yet in your disordered state, you are not afraid of fear. You do not  like it, but it is not your desire to attack which really frightens
Tx:12.18  you see it in your brothers, for though they may deceive themselves,  like you they long for the grandeur that is in them. And perceiving
Tx:12.26  on guilt enables it to ensure its continuity by making the future  like the past and thus avoiding the present. By the notion of paying
Tx:12.31  of time as one of extending itself in place of eternity, for  like the Holy Spirit, the ego interprets the goal of time as its own.
Tx:12.59 The real world is not  like this. It has no buildings, and there are no streets where people
Tx:12.75  all the world has offered but to take away. And we will spread it  like a veil of light across the world's sad face, in which we hide
Tx:13.11  if you would free yourselves. Atonement stands between them  like a lamp that shines so brightly that the chain of darkness in
Tx:13.13  and if you place your faith in the past, the future will be  like it. Whatever you hold as dear, you think is yours. The power of
Tx:13.28  can keep from you what Christ would have you see. His Will is  like His Father's, and He offers mercy to every Child of God, as He
Tx:13.30  you recognize that this is true, you will have no idea what love is  like. No one who condemns a brother can see himself as guiltless in
Tx:13.33  Like you my faith and my belief are centered on what I treasure. The
Tx:13.59  Like you, the Holy Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He knows it
Tx:13.59 Like you, the Holy Spirit did not make truth.  Like God, He knows it to be true. He brings the light of truth into
Tx:13.62  may join Him in the holy task of bringing light to darkness. For,  like your brothers, you do not realize the light has come and freed
Tx:13.87 You who belong to the First Cause, created by Him  like unto Himself and part of Him, are more than merely guiltless.
Tx:14.4  incapable of understanding one another. Each perceives the other as  like himself, making them unable to communicate because each sees the
Tx:14.29 Defenses,  like everything you made, must be gently turned to your own good,
Tx:14.37  which the Father joins Himself to those He gives the power to create  like Him can never be dissolved. Heaven itself is union with all of
Tx:14.71  as one in God, so do we learn as one in Him. God's Teacher is as  like to His Creator as is His Son, and through His Teacher does God
Tx:14.71  miracle of oneness, and before His lesson division disappears. Teach  like Him here, and you will remember that you have always created
Tx:14.71  like Him here, and you will remember that you have always created  like your Father. The miracle of creation has never ceased, having
Tx:15.2  ego, which uses time to support its belief in destruction. The ego,  like the Holy Spirit, uses time to convince you of the inevitability
Tx:15.28  The power and the glory that lie in you from God are for all who,  like you, perceive themselves as little and have deceived themselves
Tx:15.50  had seen yourself as without love, you could not have judged them so  like you in lack.
Tx:15.52  the values from the past, you would see them all the same and  like yourself. Nor would you see any separation between yourself and
Tx:15.59  by sharing. What you find difficult to accept is the fact that,  like your Father, you are an idea. And like Him, you can give
Tx:15.59  to accept is the fact that, like your Father, you are an idea. And  like Him, you can give yourself completely, wholly without loss, and
Tx:15.82  all its parts are joined in God through Christ, where they become  like to their Father. For Christ knows of no separation from His
Tx:15.95  perception that is necessary, for you made but one mistake. It seems  like many, but it is all the same. For though the ego takes many
Tx:16.2  it sees itself and would increase itself by sharing what is  like itself.] Make no mistake about this maneuver; the ego always
Tx:16.20  seen and heard and recognize it. Can you be alone with witnesses  like these?
Tx:16.38  be wholly in God, willing for nothing special but only to be wholly  like unto Him, completing Him by your completion. Fear not to cross
Tx:17.7  or waking, comes near to such loveliness. And nothing will you value  like unto this nor hold so dear. Nothing that you remember that made
Tx:17.16  as holiness does, by gathering to itself what it perceives as  like itself.
Tx:17.20  forgotten, what remains is eternal. And the transformed past is made  like the present. No longer does the past conflict with now. This
Tx:17.34  with gilded threads of self-destruction. The glitter of blood shines  like rubies, and the tears are faceted like diamonds and gleam in the
Tx:17.34  The glitter of blood shines like rubies, and the tears are faceted  like diamonds and gleam in the dim light in which the offering is
Tx:17.43  is the expression of the holy instant in living in this world.  Like everything about salvation, the holy instant is a practical
Tx:18.7  touched with insanity and swirling lightly off on a mad course  like feathers dancing insanely in the wind, have no substance. They
Tx:18.57  of reality, only some of which were love. Yet love must be forever  like itself, changeless forever and forever without alternative. And
Tx:18.73  you but appreciate the whole, you would see instantly that it is  like the smallest sunbeam to the sun or like the faintest ripple on
Tx:18.73  see instantly that it is like the smallest sunbeam to the sun or  like the faintest ripple on the surface of the ocean. In its amazing
Tx:18.76  Like to the sun and ocean your Self continues, unmindful that this
Tx:18.78 Love knows no bodies and reaches to everything created  like itself. Its total lack of limit is its meaning. It is completely
Tx:18.90 This heavy-seeming barrier, this artificial floor which looks  like rock, is like a bank of low dark clouds that seems to be a solid
Tx:18.90  barrier, this artificial floor which looks like rock, is  like a bank of low dark clouds that seems to be a solid wall before
Tx:19.11  of everyone as a Son of your most loving Father, loved by Him  like you and therefore loved by you as yourself. It is His love that
Tx:19.24  correctable, and so easily escaped from that its whole correction is  like walking through a mist into the sun? For that is all it is.
Tx:19.29 Time is  like a downward spiral which seems to travel down from a long,
Tx:19.73  it has no feeling. It transmits to you the feelings that you want.  Like any communication medium, the body receives and sends the
Tx:19.76  receiving from the Father and offering His messages unto the Son.  Like the ego, the Holy Spirit is both the sender and the receiver.
Tx:19.91 The fourth obstacle to be surmounted hangs  like a heavy veil before the face of Christ. Yet as His face rises
Tx:19.91  For this dark veil, which seems to make the face of Christ Himself  like to a leper's and the bright rays of His Father's love which
Tx:19.105  toss it lightly and with happy laughter away from him. Press it not  like thorns against his brow, nor nail him to it unredeemed and
Tx:20.19 A simple question yet remains and needs an answer. Do you  like what you have made—a world of murder and attack through which
Tx:20.20 Have you not wondered what the world is really  like; how it would look through happy eyes? The world you see is but
Tx:20.21  holy see is one with them, just as the world the ego looks upon is  like itself. The world the holy see is beautiful because they see
Tx:20.41  is but one. The little breath of eternity that runs through time  like golden light is all the same—nothing before it, nothing
Tx:20.43 Can you evaluate the giver of a gift  like this? Would you exchange this gift for any other? This gift
Tx:20.57 You have a real relationship, and it has meaning. It is as  like your real relationship with God as equal things are like unto
Tx:20.57  It is as like your real relationship with God as equal things are  like unto each other. Idolatry is past and meaningless. Perhaps you
Tx:20.62  see the body, you have chosen judgment and not vision. For vision,  like relationships, has no order. You either see or not.
Tx:21.3  world the sightless “see” must be imagined, for what it really looks  like is unknown to them. They must infer what could be seen from
Tx:21.4  instead. It is not necessary to imagine what the world must look  like. It must be seen before you recognize it for what it is. You can
Tx:21.8  quite forgotten; dim, perhaps, and yet not altogether unfamiliar,  like a song whose name is long forgotten, and the circumstances in
Tx:21.27 The Son's creations are  like his Father's. Yet in creating them, the Son does not delude
Tx:21.39  are opposites and cannot meaningfully join in any way. It is  like saying that the moon and sun are one because they come with
Tx:21.52  it, but if the basic question stems from reason, it will not ask it.  Like all that stems from reason, the basic question is obvious,
Tx:21.60  thoughts? And how could thoughts that enter into what but seems  like yours alone have no effect at all on what is yours? If minds are
Tx:21.65 Reason,  like love, would reassure you and seeks not to frighten you. The
Tx:21.67  This gracious plan was given love by Love. And what Love plans is  like Itself in this: being united, It would have you learn what you
Tx:21.72  into a poisoned spear, a child becomes a giant, and a mouse roars  like a lion. And love is turned to hate as easily. This is no army,
Tx:21.87  same. It sees not the ephemeral, for it desires that everything be  like itself and sees it so. Nothing has power to confound its
Tx:22.3  has Heaven's holiness. How far from home can a relationship so  like to Heaven be?
Tx:22.10  do not understand it yet, only because your whole communication is  like a baby's. The sounds a baby makes and what he hears are highly
Tx:22.11  and yet more ancient than the old illusion that it has replaced, is  like a baby now in its rebirth. Yet in this infant is your vision
Tx:22.15 Christ comes to what is  like Himself; the same, not different. For He is always drawn unto
Tx:22.15  same, not different. For He is always drawn unto Himself. What is as  like Him as a holy relationship? And what draws you together draws
Tx:22.20  as what will make it true or false. This must be so if the idea is  like its source. Therefore, says reason, if escape from guilt was
Tx:22.31  of mind in which salvation can be given you. Sin is a block, set  like a heavy gate, locked and without a key, across the road to
Tx:22.49  and firmness of foundation. Yes, to the body's eyes it looks  like an enormous solid body, immovable as is a mountain. Yet within
Tx:22.64  itself. There is no difference anywhere in it, for every thought is  like itself.
Tx:23.20 The first chaotic law is that the truth is different for everyone.  Like all these principles, this one maintains that each is separate
Tx:23.34 And yet, how can it be that laws  like these can be believed? There is a strange device that makes it
Tx:23.37  In any state apart from Heaven, life is illusion. At best, it seems  like life; at worst, like death. Yet both are judgments on what is
Tx:23.37  Heaven, life is illusion. At best, it seems like life; at worst,  like death. Yet both are judgments on what is not life, equal in
Tx:23.48  be to those who see God's Son a body. For it is not the body that is  like the Son's Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be the Son of
Tx:23.49  the Son are murderers or neither is. Life makes not death, creating  like itself.
Tx:23.50 The lovely light of your relationship is  like the love of God. It cannot yet assume the holy function God gave
Tx:24.6  and this must come from someone “better,” someone incapable of being  like what he condemns, “above” it, sinless by comparison with it. And
Tx:24.8 Would it be possible for you to hate your brother if you were  like him? Could you attack him if you realized you journey with him
Tx:24.8  hurt you? Your brother is your friend because his Father created him  like you. There is no difference. You have been given to each other
Tx:24.14  the “creator” who creates unlike the Father and which made His Son  like to itself and not like unto Him. His “special” sons are many,
Tx:24.14  unlike the Father and which made His Son like to itself and not  like unto Him. His “special” sons are many, never one, each one in
Tx:24.17 The shining radiance of the Son of God—so  like his Father that the memory of Him springs instantly to mind. And
Tx:24.17  mind. And with this memory, the Son remembers his own creations, as  like to him as he is to his Father. And all the world he made and all
Tx:24.21  this you fear, for if He is not special, then He willed His Son be  like Him, and your brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of
Tx:24.21  not special, then He willed His Son be like Him, and your brother is  like you. Not special, but possessed of everything including you.
Tx:24.28  open to attack that just a word, a little whisper that you do not  like, a circumstance that suits you not, or an event that you did not
Tx:24.29  is it possible the two can ever be the same while specialness stands  like a flaming sword of death between them and makes them “enemies.”
Tx:24.30 God asks for your forgiveness. He would have no separation,  like an alien will, rise between what He wills for you and what you
Tx:24.43  already loosened from the bone and sightless holes for eyes, is  like yourself?
Tx:24.45  whose hand you hold and whom you lead to Him. And what you see is  like yourself. For what but Christ is there to see and hear and love
Tx:24.47  a brother unto you except he be as perfect as yourself and just as  like to Him in holiness as you must be?
Tx:24.68  with the Father must have a Son. Yet must this Son have been created  like Himself. A perfect being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed,
Tx:24.71  the means to serve his “father's” purpose. Not identical, not even  like, but still a means to offer to the “father” what he wants. Such
Tx:24.72  They have a different purpose. It is this that joins them to their  like and separates each from all aspects with a different purpose.
Tx:25.38  enemy and God along with Him. Must you not be afraid with “enemies”  like these? And must you not be fearful of yourself? For you have
Tx:25.69  what escape has He for them except a door to hell that seems to look  like Heaven's gate?
Tx:26.24 Is not this  like your special function, where the separation is undone by change
Tx:26.40  Voices from the past are heard and then are doubted. You are  like to one who still hallucinates but lacks conviction in what he
Tx:26.72  caused and judged disastrous now? Belief in sin arouses fear and,  like its cause, is looking forward, looking back but overlooking what
Tx:26.79  you stand on ground so holy Heaven leans to join with it and make it  like itself. The shadow of an ancient hate has gone, and all the
Tx:27.56  cannot choose among them which are real, for any one you choose is  like the rest. This name or that, but nothing more, you choose. You
Tx:27.62  Here is the world's demented version of salvation clearly shown.  Like to a dream of punishment in which the dreamer is unconscious of
Tx:27.77  while and dies, to be united in the dust with other bodies dying  like itself. In the brief time allotted it to live, it seeks for
Tx:27.89  then, all forms of suffering to Him Who knows that every one is  like the rest. He sees no differences where none exist, and He will
Tx:28.2  as if it were occurring now and still were there to see. Memory,  like perception, is a skill made up by you to take the place of what
Tx:28.2  up by you to take the place of what God gave in your creation. And  like all the things you made, it can be used to serve another purpose
Tx:28.5  it to do. It does not write the message nor appoint what it is for.  Like to the body, it is purposeless within itself. And if it seems to
Tx:28.18  with effects unlike yourself. And as their “father,” you must be  like them. Nothing at all has happened but that you have put yourself
Tx:28.19  Do you wish for dreams of healing or for dreams of death? A dream is  like a memory in that it pictures what you wanted shown to you. An
Tx:28.19  be realized that it is you who dreamed the dreaming that you do not  like. It is but an effect which you have caused, and you would not be
Tx:28.25  Like every lesson which the Holy Spirit requests you learn, the
Tx:28.34  the shining of a pebble and who stored a heap of snow that shone  like silver. They have nothing left behind the open door. What is the
Tx:28.39  Like you, your brother thinks he is a dream. Share not in his
Tx:28.55  sight a thing that cannot see and blame it for the sounds you do not  like, although it cannot hear. It suffers not the punishment you give
Tx:28.60 God asks for nothing, and His Son,  like Him, need ask for nothing. For there is no lack in him. An empty
Tx:28.62  count on it as shelter from the wind? The body can be made a home  like this because it lacks foundation in the truth. And yet, because
Tx:28.64  to be true to faithlessness. Yet faithlessness is sickness. It is  like the house set upon straw. It seems to be quite solid and
Tx:29.26 The dreams you think you  like would hold you back as much as those in which the fear is seen.
Tx:29.28  the “reason” your attack is justified? The dreams you think you  like are those in which the functions you have given have been
Tx:29.28  represent and should achieve for you. If it succeeds, you think you  like the dream. If it should fail, you think the dream is sad. But
Tx:29.33 This sacred Son of God is  like yourself—the mirror of his Father's love for you, the soft
Tx:29.48  the world the past has given it. For otherwise, the future will be  like the past and but a series of depressing dreams in which all
Tx:29.54  All forms of anti-Christ oppose the Christ and fall before His face  like a dark veil which seems to shut you off from Him, alone in
Tx:30.2  tell yourself there is a way in which this very day can happen just  like that. Then try again to have the day you want.
Tx:30.16 At least I can decide I do not  like what I feel now.
Tx:30.18 5. Having decided that you do not  like the way you feel, what could be easier than to continue with,
Tx:30.20  but is something that you want and that you need, because you do not  like the way you feel. This tiny opening will be enough to let you go
Tx:30.40  And by finding this, you will achieve completion in a form you  like. This is the purpose of an idol—that you will not look beyond
Tx:30.45  wait for welcome and remembering. The Thought God holds of you is  like a star, unchangeable in an eternal sky. So high in Heaven is it

Tx:31.22  made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy place to which you come to  listen silently and learn the truth of what you really want. No more

Tx:10.20  a sign that you want Him. Think like Him ever so slightly, and the  little spark becomes a blazing light that fills your mind so that He
Tx:10.21  God sent you will teach you how to do this if you but recognize the  little spark and are willing to let it grow. Your willingness need

Tx:14.2  without you. You who have thrown your selves away and valued God so  little, hear me speak for Him and for yourselves. You cannot

Tx:14.33  Everything that promises otherwise, great or small, however much or  little valued, He will replace with the one promise given unto Him to
Tx:14.37  whom it was intended. To whom God gives Himself, He is given. Your  little gifts will vanish on the altar where He has placed His Own.
Tx:14.48  and in great numbers. You are so used to this that it can cause you  little surprise.
Tx:14.50 The  little sanity which still remains is held together by a sense of

Tx:15.15  friend if you leave it to the Holy Spirit to use. He needs but very  little to restore God's whole power to you. He Who transcends time
Tx:15.21 Start now to practice your  little part in separating out the holy instant. You will receive very
Tx:15.22  place of magnitude, and you accepted it. Everything in this world is  little because it is a world made out of littleness in the strange
Tx:15.24  are and represents the value that you put upon yourself. Believe the  little can content you, and by limiting yourself, you will not be
Tx:15.24  yourself, you will not be satisfied. For your function is not  little, and it is only by finding your function and fulfilling it
Tx:15.25  in perfect awareness in a world of littleness is a task the  little cannot undertake. Yet it is asked of you in tribute to your
Tx:15.26  every effort you make on behalf of His dear Son. Search for the  little, and you deny yourself His power. God is not willing that His
Tx:15.27  deny His magnitude and make His Son hostage to the ego cannot make  little whom God has joined with Him. Every decision you make is for
Tx:15.27  clearly and in perfect safety in your minds, untouched by every  little gift the world of littleness would offer you. But for this,

Tx:15.30  have sought to purchase it with little gifts, thus valuing it too  little to be able to understand its magnitude. Love is not little,
Tx:15.30  it too little to be able to understand its magnitude. Love is not  little, and love dwells in you, for you are host to Him. Before the
Tx:15.30  that lives in you, your poor appreciation of yourself and all the  little offerings you have given slip into nothingness. Holy Child of
Tx:15.57 You have so  little faith in yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact
Tx:15.73  The other seems always to be attacking and wounding them, perhaps in  little ways, perhaps “unconsciously,” yet never without demand of
Tx:15.88  Limits are demanded by the ego, representing its demands to make  little and ineffectual. Limit your vision of a brother to his body,
Tx:15.89  that any limit is impossible. Would you not exchange your  little relationships for this? For the body is little and limited,
Tx:15.89  you not exchange your little relationships for this? For the body is  little and limited, and only those whom you would see without the
Tx:15.98  of the two is judged as the lesser of two evils, one to be feared a  little, but the other to be destroyed. For you see love as
Tx:16.11  to fragment and then to be concerned about the truth of just a  little part of the whole. And this is but a way of avoiding or
Tx:16.16  to its compelling attraction. You can delay this now but only a  little while. The Host of God has called to you, and you have heard.
Tx:16.18  has called to you. His Voice has spoken clearly, and yet you have so  little faith in what you heard because you have preferred to place
Tx:16.28  carries him across the gap as soon as he is willing to expend some  little effort on behalf of bridging it. His little efforts are
Tx:16.28  willing to expend some little effort on behalf of bridging it. His  little efforts are powerfully supplemented by the strength of Heaven
Tx:16.52  the specialness which you demand. And hating it, you have made it  little and unworthy because you are afraid of it.
Tx:16.53  So fearful has the truth become to you that unless it is weak and  little, [and unworthy of value,] you would not dare to look upon it.
Tx:16.53  you would not dare to look upon it. You think it safer to endow the  little self which you have made with power you wrested from truth,
Tx:16.63  body is still seen but not exclusively, as it is seen here. For the  little spark which holds the Great Rays within it is also visible,
Tx:16.64  see is grossly distorted and completely out of perspective. What is  little and insignificant is magnified, and what is strong and
Tx:16.69 The Holy Spirit asks only this  little help of you. Whenever your thoughts wander to a special
Tx:17.7  made your heart seem to sing with joy has ever brought you even a  little part of the happiness this sight will bring you. For you will
Tx:17.8  to hide the truth. The bridge between that world and this is so  little and so easy to cross that you could not believe it is the
Tx:17.8  not believe it is the meeting place of worlds so different. Yet this  little bridge is the strongest thing that touches on this world at
Tx:17.8  is the strongest thing that touches on this world at all. This  little step, so small it has escaped your notice, is a stride through
Tx:17.32 You have but  little difficulty now in realizing that the thought system which the
Tx:17.41  remembrance, offering you the whole of creation in exchange for your  little picture, wholly without value and entirely deprived of meaning.

Tx:17.67  was not holy because your faith in one another was so limited and  little. Your faith must grow to meet the goal that has been set. The
Tx:17.70  the Holy Spirit's goal has been established is so far beyond your  little conception of the infinite that you have no idea how great the
Tx:17.70  past the stars and to the universe that lies beyond them, your  little faithlessness can make it useless if you would use the
Tx:18.7  other way; that truth is outside and error and guilt within. Your  little senseless substitutions, touched with insanity and swirling
Tx:18.9  Let Him bring it here, where you would have it be. Give Him but a  little faith in each other, to help Him show you that no substitute
Tx:18.26  darkness has been long and cruel, and you have gone deep into it. A  little flicker of your eyelids, closed so long, has not yet been
Tx:18.26  When you retreat to the illusion, your fear increases, for there is  little doubt that what you think it means is fearful. Yet what is
Tx:18.28  in complete accord with all the power of the Holy Spirit's will. No  little, faltering footsteps that you may take can separate your
Tx:18.31  to Heaven. When such great light has joined with you to give the  little spark of your desire the power of God Himself, can you remain
Tx:18.32  or you will add the ego unto Him and confuse the two. He asks but  little. It is He who adds the greatness and the might. He joins with
Tx:18.32  than you can understand. It is your realization that you need do so  little that enables Him to give so much.
Tx:18.35 The holy instant does not come from your  little willingness alone. It is always the result of your small
Tx:18.38 And that is all. Add more and you will merely take away the  little that is asked. Remember you made guilt and that your plan for
Tx:18.38  function for Him. Give Him but what He asks, that you may learn how  little is your part and how great is His.
Tx:18.39  do. [You find it difficult to accept the idea that you need give so  little to receive so much.] And it is very hard for you to realize
Tx:18.42  help. That is His function. Your part is only to offer Him a  little willingness to let Him remove all fear and hatred and to be
Tx:18.42  to let Him remove all fear and hatred and to be forgiven. On your  little faith, joined with His understanding, He will build your part
Tx:18.44  and you would merely bring unholy means to its accomplishment. The  little faith it needed to change the purpose is all that is required
Tx:18.72  and to keep you apart from Him. The body is a tiny fence around a  little part of a glorious and complete idea. It draws a circle,
Tx:18.72  complete idea. It draws a circle, infinitely small, around a very  little segment of Heaven splintered from the whole, proclaiming that
Tx:18.73 Within this kingdom the ego rules, and cruelly. And to defend this  little speck of dust, it bids you fight against the universe. This
Tx:18.73  hails itself as the ocean. Think how alone and frightened is this  little thought, this infinitesimal illusion, holding itself apart
Tx:18.73  sunbeam's “enemy” which would devour it, and the ocean terrifies the  little ripple and wants to swallow it.
Tx:18.76  joining with the rest and keeping it apart from its Creator. This  little aspect is no different from the whole, being continuous with
Tx:18.77 Do not accept this  little fenced-off aspect as yourself. The sun and ocean are as
Tx:18.77  who looks on nothing, yet who would still die to defend it? This  little self is not your kingdom. Arched high above it and surrounding
Tx:18.77  which offers all its happiness and deep content to every part. The  little aspect which you think you set apart is no exception.
Tx:18.78  keep complete what it would give. In your tiny kingdom, you have so  little! Should it not, then, be there that you would call on love to
Tx:18.78  dry and unproductive, scorched and joyless, which makes up your  little kingdom. And realize the life and joy which love would bring
Tx:18.79 The Thought of God surrounds your  little kingdom, waiting at the barrier you built to come inside and
Tx:18.79  with them, as it will stay with you. And under its beneficence, your  little garden will expand and reach out to everyone who thirsts for
Tx:18.80  So will it grow and stretch across the desert, leaving no lonely  little kingdoms locked away from love and leaving you inside. And you
Tx:18.80  and leaving you inside. And you will recognize yourself and see your  little garden gently transformed into the Kingdom of Heaven with all
Tx:18.83  this. Receive it now of Him, for He would have you know Him. Only a  little wall of dust still stands between you. Blow on it lightly and
Tx:18.84  at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part of yourself, the  little thought that seems split off and separate, which the Holy
Tx:18.85 This is the  little part of you, you think you stole from Heaven. Give it back to
Tx:18.85  One Who does surround it has brought union to you, returning your  little offering of darkness to the eternal Light.
Tx:18.86 How is this done? It is extremely simple, being based on what this  little kingdom really is. The barren sands, the darkness and the
Tx:18.86  messages it transmits to you who made it to limit your awareness are  little and limited and so fragmented they are meaningless. From the
Tx:19.6  be possible only if the mind is limited to the body and divided into  little parts of seeming wholeness but without connection. This will
Tx:19.15 As faithlessness will keep your  little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith help the Holy
Tx:19.33  gone. Its source has been removed, and so it can be cherished but a  little while before it vanishes. Only the habit of looking for it
Tx:19.41  with you? What seems to be the cost you are so unwilling to pay? The  little barrier of sand still stands between you. Would you reinforce
Tx:19.41  everyone, and how can He do this except through you? Would you let a  little bank of sand, a wall of dust, a tiny seeming barrier, stand
Tx:19.41  stand between your brothers and salvation? And yet, it is this  little remnant of attack you cherish still against each other that is
Tx:19.41  first obstacle the peace in you encounters in its going forth. This  little wall of hatred would still oppose the Will of God and keep it
Tx:19.42  let it join you wholly. You still oppose the Will of God, just by a  little. And that little is a limit you would place upon the whole.
Tx:19.42  wholly. You still oppose the Will of God, just by a little. And that  little is a limit you would place upon the whole. God's Will is One,
Tx:19.42  there is none beside it. What you would still contain behind your  little barrier and keep separate from each other seems mightier than
Tx:19.42  universe, for it would hold back the universe and its Creator. This  little wall would hide the purpose of Heaven and keep it from Heaven.
Tx:19.43  Peace could no more depart from you than from God. Fear not this  little obstacle. It cannot contain the Will of God. Peace will flow
Tx:19.43  apart from the one you asked the Holy Spirit to share with you. The  little wall will fall away so quietly beneath the wings of peace! For
Tx:19.44 To overcome the world is no more difficult than to surmount your  little wall. For in the miracle of your relationship, without this
Tx:19.45 There is a hush in Heaven, a happy expectancy, a  little pause of gladness in acknowledgment of the journey's end. For
Tx:19.45  know Heaven. No illusions stand between you now. Look not upon the  little wall of shadows. The sun has risen over it. How can a shadow
Tx:19.46 The  little insane wish to get rid of Him Who you invited in and push Him
Tx:19.46  push Him out must produce conflict. As you look upon the world, this  little wish, uprooted and floating aimlessly, can land and settle
Tx:19.47  weakness, which extends to everything. The variability which the  little remnant induces merely indicates its limited results.
Tx:19.48 How mighty can a  little feather be before the great wings of truth? Can it oppose an
Tx:19.48  sun upon a garden covered by the snow? See but how easily this  little wisp is lifted up and carried away, never to return, and part
Tx:19.51  who allows them to feast only upon what they return to him. No  little shred of guilt escapes their hungry eyes. And in their savage
Tx:19.53  the gentle and the kind. They will be as careful to let no  little act of charity, no tiny expression of forgiveness, no little
Tx:19.53  let no little act of charity, no tiny expression of forgiveness, no  little breath of love escape their notice. And they will return with
Tx:19.58 To think you could be satisfied and happy with so  little is to hurt yourself, and to limit the happiness that you would
Tx:19.63  salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you want your Father, not a  little mound of clay, to be your home. In your holy relationship is
Tx:19.68 Your  little part is but to give the Holy Spirit the whole idea of
Tx:20.19  dangers, alone and frightened, hoping at most that death will wait a  little longer before it overtakes you and you disappear? You made
Tx:20.31  freedom is. Ask not the sparrow how the eagle soars, for those with  little wings have not accepted for themselves the power to share with
Tx:20.39  is that it wants the other for itself and therefore values him too  little. What is inestimable clearly cannot be evaluated. Do you
Tx:20.41 Your brother's body is as  little use to you as it is to him. When it is used only as the Holy
Tx:20.41  let this be accomplished, when one would do? There is but one. The  little breath of eternity that runs through time like golden light is
Tx:20.52  of reality. And so it seemed to have a home that held together for a  little while in time and vanished. For what could house this mad idea
Tx:20.57  Idolatry is past and meaningless. Perhaps you fear each other a  little yet; perhaps a shadow of the fear of God remains with you. Yet
Tx:20.58  almost nothing of you. It is impossible to imagine one that asks so  little or could offer more.
Tx:20.60 To obtain the goal, the Holy Spirit indeed asked  little. He asks no more to give the means as well. The means are
Tx:20.60  and they are perfectly in line with it. Before we look at them a  little closer, remember that if you think they are impossible, your
Tx:20.71  your distress and need for help unto the helpless? Is the pitifully  little the perfect choice to call upon for strength? Judgment will
Tx:21.7  live, adjusting to it as they think they must, afraid to lose the  little that they have. And so it is with all who see the body as all
Tx:21.7  adjust to loneliness, believing that to keep the body is to save the  little that they have. Listen and try to think if you remember what
Tx:21.8  unremembered. Not the whole song has stayed with you, but just a  little wisp of melody, attached not to a person or a place or
Tx:21.8  or a place or anything particular. But you remember from just this  little part how lovely was the song, how wonderful the setting where
Tx:21.13 We have repeated how  little is asked of you to learn this course. It is the same small
Tx:21.13  you need to have your whole relationship transformed to joy; the  little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit for which He gives you
Tx:21.13  offer to the Holy Spirit for which He gives you everything; the very  little on which salvation rests; the tiny change of mind by which the
Tx:21.13  it now, it will not be because it is obscure, but rather that this  little cost seemed in your judgment to be too much to pay for peace.
Tx:21.17  of decision to Him Who must decide for God for you. This is the  little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit, and even this He gave to
Tx:21.18 Begrudge not, then, this  little offering. Withhold it, and you keep the world as now you see
Tx:21.18  and everything you see goes with it. Never was so much given for so  little. In the holy instant is this exchange effected and maintained.
Tx:21.20 Perhaps you do not see the need for you to give this  little offering. Look closer, then, at what it is. And very simply
Tx:21.31  is it strange to you that faith can move mountains? This is indeed a  little feat for such a power. For faith can keep the Son of God in
Tx:21.48  keep apart has met and joined, and looks upon the ego unafraid.  Little children, innocent of sin, follow in gladness the way to
Tx:21.70  the helpless could believe in it. Enormity has no appeal save to the  little. And only those who first believe that they are little could
Tx:21.70  save to the little. And only those who first believe that they are  little could see attraction there. Treachery to the Son of God is the
Tx:21.81  exchange your helplessness for power, and lose this same desire as a  little glint of sin attracts you. And you can want to see a sinless
Tx:22.48 How weak is fear—how  little and how meaningless! How insignificant before the quiet
Tx:22.49 If you but recognized how  little stands between you and your awareness of your union! Be not
Tx:22.58  and welcomed. He will use every one of them for peace. Nor will one  little smile or willingness to overlook the tiniest mistake be lost
Tx:22.59  He will join to it all the power that God has given Him to make each  little gift of love a source of healing for everyone. Each little
Tx:22.59  make each little gift of love a source of healing for everyone. Each  little gift you offer to the other lights up the world. Be not
Tx:22.65  is there, which makes all fear impossible? Do not attempt to keep a  little of the ego with this gift. For it was given you to be used and
Tx:23.4 Let not the  little interferers pull you to littleness. There can be no attraction
Tx:23.4  with truth beside you! Do not give up this world of freedom for a  little sigh of seeming sin nor for a tiny stirring of guilt's
Tx:23.5  kept in your awareness. For who can know his glory and perceive the  little and the weak about him? Who can walk trembling in a fearful
Tx:23.13  they fragment. But truth is indivisible and far beyond their  little reach. You will remember what you know when you have learned
Tx:23.43  To compromise is to accept but part of what you want—to take a  little and give up the rest. Salvation gives up nothing. It is
Tx:23.43  belief salvation is impossible. It would maintain you can attack a  little, love a little, and know the difference. Thus it would teach a
Tx:23.43  is impossible. It would maintain you can attack a little, love a  little, and know the difference. Thus it would teach a little of the
Tx:23.43  love a little, and know the difference. Thus it would teach a  little of the same can still be different, and yet the same remain
Tx:23.44  quiet, calm assurance it has come. Forgiveness cannot be withheld a  little. Nor is it possible to attack for this and love for that and
Tx:23.50  to all. Yet does the Holy Spirit understand how to increase your  little gifts and make them mighty. Also He understands how your

Tx:24.60  asked that you pursue another goal with far less vigilance—with  little effort and with little time and with the power of God
Tx:24.60  another goal with far less vigilance—with little effort and with  little time and with the power of God maintaining it and promising
Tx:24.65 Ask yourself this: can you protect the mind? The body, yes, a  little—not from time, but temporarily. And much you think you save,

Tx:25.60  the more basic tenet, “Sin is real and rules the world”? For every  little gain must someone lose and pay exact amount in blood and
Tx:25.64  what one divided still against himself would find impossible. Have  little faith that wisdom could be found in such a state of mind. But

Tx:25.64  be you thankful that only little faith is asked of you. What but a  little faith remains to those who still believe in sin? What could
Tx:25.65  not escaped. The laws of sin demand a victim. Who it may be makes  little difference. But death must be the cost and must be paid. This
Tx:25.66  total cost. The rest is taken from another, to be laid beside your  little payment to “atone” for all that you would keep and not give
Tx:25.75  Son has found a witness unto his sinlessness and not his sin. How  little need you give the Holy Spirit that simple justice may be given
Tx:25.78 What can it be but arrogance to think your  little errors cannot be undone by Heaven's justice? And what could
Tx:25.86 The  little problems that you keep and hide become your secret sins
Tx:26.1  a sacrifice—a giving up of power in the name of saving just a  little for yourself. To see a brother in another body separate from
Tx:26.1  body separate from yours is the expression of a wish to see a  little part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the world, and you
Tx:26.1  attached to anything beyond itself. All seeming entities can come a  little nearer or go a little farther off but cannot join.
Tx:26.1  beyond itself. All seeming entities can come a little nearer or go a  little farther off but cannot join.
Tx:26.3 The  little that the body fences off becomes the self, preserved through

Tx:26.13  nails away. He does not pause to judge whether the hurt be large or  little. He makes but one judgment—that to hurt God's Son must be
Tx:26.16  one, for pain in any form you will not want. And you will see each  little hurt resolved before the Holy Spirit's gentle sight. For all
Tx:26.16  resolved before the Holy Spirit's gentle sight. For all of them are  little in His sight and worth no more than just a tiny sigh before
Tx:26.28 Forgiveness brings no  little miracles to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of God
Tx:26.29  you still is holding back the happy opening of Heaven's gate. How  little is the hindrance which withholds the wealth of Heaven from
Tx:26.30 A  little hindrance can seem large indeed to those who do not understand
Tx:26.31  is ever lost but time, which in the end is [nothing. It] is but a  little hindrance to eternity, quite meaningless to the real Teacher
Tx:26.45 Lead not your  little lives in solitude with one illusion as your only friend. This
Tx:26.54  brother and yourself. They limit you to time and place and give a  little space to you, another little space to him. This separating off

Tx:26.56 Salvation, perfect and complete, asks but a  little wish that what is true be true; a little willingness to
Tx:26.56  and complete, asks but a little wish that what is true be true; a  little willingness to overlook what is not there; a little sigh that
Tx:26.56  true be true; a little willingness to overlook what is not there; a  little sigh that speaks for Heaven as a preference to this world
Tx:26.58 Here does the Son of God ask not too much but far too  little. He would sacrifice his own identity with everything to find a
Tx:26.58  He would sacrifice his own identity with everything to find a  little treasure of his own. And this he cannot do without a sense of
Tx:26.65  But it is arrogant to lay aside the power that He gave and choose a  little senseless wish instead of what He wills. The gift of God to
Tx:26.67  has been true be recognized by those who know it not. And by this  little gift of truth but let to be itself—the Son of God allowed to
Tx:26.68  and will receive the benefits of trust. This but reflects the  little you would keep between yourselves that you might be a little
Tx:26.68  the little you would keep between yourselves that you might be a  little separate. For time and space are one illusion which takes

Tx:26.69  now. Thus do you think it safer to remain a little careful and a  little watchful of interests perceived as separate. From this
Tx:26.70  body is except in terms of what you see it for. If you would keep a  little space between you still, you want a little time in which

Tx:26.76  consequence and cause must come as one. Look not to time but to the  little space between you still to be delivered from. And do not let
Tx:26.78 Is it too much to ask a  little trust for him who carries Christ to you, that you may be
Tx:27.8  every stolen scrap of pleasure is their righteous payment for their  little lives? Their death will pay the price for all of them if they
Tx:27.9  be reason to remain content to seek for passing joys and cherish  little pleasures where you can. Yet in this picture is the body not
Tx:27.59  Who sends forth miracles to bless the world, a tiny stab of pain, a  little worldly pleasure, and the throes of death itself are but a
Tx:27.67  look to find the truth. The witnesses to sin all stand within one  little space. And it is here you find the cause of your perspective
Tx:27.69  but casts him as it will in any role that satisfies its dream. So  little is his worth that he is but a dancing shadow, leaping up and
Tx:27.72  of suffering, the space between your dreams and your reality. The  little gap you do not even see, the birthplace of illusions and of
Tx:27.77  made by other bodies, born into the world outside the body, lives a  little while and dies, to be united in the dust with other bodies

Tx:28.15  God has come to take the place of loss? What better way to close the  little gap between illusions and reality than to allow the memory of
Tx:28.30  has been bred. Thus are you joined in sickness, to preserve the  little gap unhealed, where sickness is kept carefully protected,
Tx:28.30  and upheld by firm belief, lest God should come to bridge the  little gap that leads to Him. Fight not His coming with illusions,
Tx:28.31  end of fear, and love was never in the world of dreams. The gap is  little. Yet it holds the seeds of pestilence and every form of ill
Tx:28.32  and covered up the space which seemed to keep them separate for a  little while? Where are the grounds for sickness when the minds have

Tx:28.39  joined in brotherhood. His body and his dreams but seem to make a  little gap, where yours have joined with his.
Tx:28.40  are kept in bondage to his dream. And dreams of fear will haunt the  little gap, inhabited but by illusions which you have supported in
Tx:28.44  his identity, which the whole picture represents, instead of just a  little broken bit which he insisted was himself. And when he sees
Tx:28.44  dream, this is the picture that the miracle will place within the  little gap, left clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin. And
Tx:28.45 I thank you, Father, knowing you will come to close each  little gap that lies between the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your
Tx:28.50 You have conceived a  little gap between illusions and the truth to be the place where all
Tx:28.50  It does not know what seeing is, what listening is for. It is as  little able to perceive as it can judge or understand or know. Its

Tx:28.53 You who believe there is a  little gap between you, do not understand that it is here that you
Tx:28.53  tombs where terror rises from the bones of death. Look at the  little gap, and you behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that
Tx:28.54 Who punishes the body is insane. For here the  little gap is seen, and yet it is not here. It has not judged itself
Tx:28.56  It sees and acts for you. It hears your voice. And it is frail and  little by your wish. It seems to punish you and thus deserve your

Tx:29.3  that your separate interests made your friendship possible a  little while. But not without a gap between you, lest he turn again
Tx:29.42  and with happiness! And what a joyous thing it is to dwell a  little while in such a happy place! Nor can it be forgot in such a
Tx:29.42  in such a happy place! Nor can it be forgot in such a world, it is a  little while till timelessness comes quietly to take the place of
Tx:29.53  for your reality. In some way, you believe they will complete your  little self [and let you walk in] safety in a world perceived as
Tx:29.53  himself to littleness and loss. And thus must seek beyond his  little self for strength to raise his head and stand apart from all

Tx:29.64  and have done to make you sinful and put out the light within you.  Little children, it is there. You do but dream, and idols are the
Tx:29.66  game in which the child becomes the father, powerful, but with the  little wisdom of a child. What hurts him is destroyed; what helps
Tx:29.68 Forgiving dreams have  little need to last. They are not made to separate the mind from what
Tx:30.1 —your willingness to practice every step. Each one will help a  little every time it is attempted. And together will these steps lead
Tx:30.2  You do not always know when you are making them. But with a  little practice with the ones you recognize, a set begins to form
Tx:30.35  not your will to hate and be a prisoner to fear, a slave to death, a  little creature with a little life. Your will is boundless; it is not
Tx:30.35  be a prisoner to fear, a slave to death, a little creature with a  little life. Your will is boundless; it is not your will that it be
Tx:30.38  attained. It is as if you said, “I have no need of everything. This  little thing I want, and it will be as everything to me.” And this
Tx:30.39  what shares in all creation cannot be content with small ideas and  little things.
Tx:30.52  that you believe about yourself obey no laws. They seem to dance a  little while, according to the rules you set for them. But then they
Tx:30.56  made. No more than this is asked. Be glad indeed salvation asks so  little, not so much. It asks for nothing in reality. And even in
Tx:30.59  happiness in him so sure and constant he can barely stay and wait a  little longer with his feet still touching earth. Yet is he glad to

W1:105.7 Today our practice periods will start a  little differently. Begin today by thinking of those brothers who
W1:105.7  you must return to claim them as your own. Think of your “enemies” a  little while, and tell each one as he occurs to you:
W1:R3.9  applying what you learned to them. As a result, you have gained  little reinforcement and have not given it the opportunity to prove
W1:R3.11 Repeat it, and allow your mind to rest a  little time in silence and in peace. Then turn to other things, but
W1:R3.14 Do not forget how  little you have learned. Do not forget how much you can learn now. Do
W1:121.11  look at him a while. Try to perceive some light in him somewhere—a  little gleam which you had never noticed. Try to find some little

W1:123.1  the truth. A bit of wavering remains, some small objections, and a  little hesitance, but we can well be grateful for our gains, which
W1:124.2  the way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the world a  little while. And those who come to follow us will recognize the way
W1:125.5  you. He has not hid Himself from you while you have wandered off a  little while from Him. He does not cherish the illusions which you
W1:128.1  he would leave this world behind and soar beyond its petty scope and  little ways.
W1:128.5  which bar the door to freedom from the world and go beyond all  little values and diminished goals.
W1:128.6 Peace and be still a  little while, and see how far you rise above the world when you
W1:128.7  it before. Your whole perspective on the world will shift by just a  little every time you let your mind escape its chains. The world is
W1:129.2 It might be worth a  little time to think once more about the value of this world. Perhaps
W1:129.5  the world that comes to take its place as you unbind your mind from  little things the world sets forth to keep you prisoner there. Value
W1:130.7  a thousand meaningless distinctions, nor attempt to bring with us a  little part of unreality as we devote our minds to finding only what
W1:130.12 Accept a  little part of hell as real, and you have damned your eyes and cursed
W1:131.3  while in your heart you pray for danger and protection for the  little dream you made.
W1:133.2 You do not ask too much of life, but far too  little. When you let your mind be drawn to bodily concerns, to things
W1:133.2  not for happiness. This course does not attempt to take from you the  little that you have. It does not try to substitute utopian ideas for
W1:133.6  compromise in what your choice must bring. It cannot give you just a  little, for there is no in-between. Each choice you make brings
W1:134.6  It does not countenance illusions but collects them lightly with a  little laugh and gently lays them at the feet of truth. And there
W1:135.5  constant care and watchful, deep concern are needful to protect its  little life? What but the body falters and must fail to serve the Son
W1:135.7  all the functions that you see in it and set its value far beyond a  little pile of dust and water. Who would make defense of something
W1:135.14  far exceeds its own protection and which needs its service for a  little while. In this capacity is health assured. For everything the
W1:135.27  defense to learn the part for you within the plan of God. What  little plans or magical beliefs can still have value when you have
W1:135.28  celebrate your Eastertime with you. Throughout the day, as foolish  little things appear to raise defensiveness in you and tempt you to
W1:136.2  change it, render it inept, distort it, twist it, or reduce it to a  little pile of unassembled parts. The aim of all defenses is to keep
W1:136.9  strange, haunting thought that you might be something beyond this  little pile of dust silenced and stilled. For see, this dust can make
W1:136.13  to give you happiness, for such its purpose is. Perhaps it sighs a  little when you throw away its gifts, and yet it knows with perfect
W1:137.9  Him. His gentle lessons teach how easily salvation can be yours, how  little practice you need undertake to let His laws replace the ones
W1:137.10 His life becomes your own as you extend the  little help He asks in freeing you from everything that ever caused
W1:137.13  of the hour worth the giving to receive a gift like this? Is not a  little time a small expense to offer for the gift of everything?
W1:153.16  of the world will close on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a  little while and turn our thoughts to God.
W1:156.7  keep you bound no longer. The approach to God is near. And in the  little interval of doubt which still remains, you may perhaps lose
W1:157.7 As this experience increases and all goals but this become of  little worth, the world to which you will return becomes a little
W1:157.7  become of little worth, the world to which you will return becomes a  little closer to the end of time, a little more like Heaven in its
W1:157.7  which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of time, a  little more like Heaven in its ways, a little nearer its deliverance.
W1:157.7  closer to the end of time, a little more like Heaven in its ways, a  little nearer its deliverance. And you who bring it light will come
W1:161.4  in the sense that it is all-encompassing. We need to see a  little that we learn a lot.
W1:164.9  Would God deceive you? Can His promise fail? Can you withhold so  little when His Hand holds out complete salvation to His Son?
W1:166.5  of the futility he sees about him everywhere, perceiving how his  little lot but dwindles as he goes ahead to nowhere. Still he wanders
W1:166.6 —weary, worn, in threadbare clothing, and with feet that bleed a  little from the rocky road he walks. No one but has identified with
W1:167.2  joy. All sorrow, loss, anxiety, and suffering and pain, even a  little sigh of weariness, a slight discomfort or the merest frown,
W1:169.10  depends on. As you take the role assigned to you, salvation comes a  little nearer each uncertain heart that does not beat as yet in tune
W1:169.11  Heaven yet does not replace the thought of time but for a  little while. The interval suffices. It is here that miracles are
W1:R5.2  Word and make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a  little child along a way he does not understand. Yet does he follow,
W1:R5.7  to meet us at the journey's ending. Every step we take brings us a  little nearer. This review will shorten time immeasurably if we keep
W1:R5.8 I take the journey with you. For I share your doubts and fears a  little while, that you may come to me who recognize the road by which
W1:I2.2  itself. Your motivation will be so intensified that words become of  little consequence. You will be sure of what you want and what is
W1:I2.3  accept its presence. So we now attempt to go past all defenses for a  little while each day. No more than this is asked because no more
W1:181.3 Therefore in practicing today, we first let all such  little focuses give way to our great need to let our sinlessness
W1:181.3  instruct our minds that it is this we seek and only this, for just a  little while. We do not care about our future goals, and what we saw
W1:181.5 We lay these pointless limitations by a  little while. We do not look to past beliefs, and what we will
W1:181.6 So, for a  little while, without regard to past or future, should such blocks

W1:182.6 This Child needs your protection. He is far from home. He is so  little that He seems so easily shut out, His tiny Voice so readily
W1:182.9 Rest with Him frequently today. For He was willing to become a  little child that you might learn of Him how strong is he who comes
W1:182.10 Christ is reborn as but a  little Child each time a wanderer would leave his home. For he must

W1:183.4 Repeat the Name of God and  little names have lost their meaning. No temptation but becomes a
W1:183.4  to you, although before you let the Name of God replace their  little names, you stood before them worshipfully, naming them as gods.
W1:183.8  And God will come and answer it Himself. Think not He hears the  little prayers of those who call on Him with names of idols cherished
W1:183.9  thoughts respond with this, and see God's Name replace the thousand  little names you gave your thoughts, not realizing that there is One
W1:183.12 All  little things are silent. Little sounds are soundless now. The little
W1:183.12 All little things are silent.  Little sounds are soundless now. The little things of earth have
W1:183.12 All little things are silent. Little sounds are soundless now. The  little things of earth have disappeared. The universe consists of
W1:184.4  set against the given truth. Its enemy is wholeness. It conceives of  little things and looks upon them. And a lack of space, a sense of
W1:184.11 Use all the  little names and symbols which delineate the world of darkness. Yet
W1:186.7  Let it go. Salvation of the world depends on you and not upon this  little pile of dust. What can it tell the holy Son of God? Why need
W1:190.6  and unchangeable forever and forever. And would you deny a  little corner of your mind its own inheritance and keep it as a

Tx:15.22  it is a world made out of littleness in the strange belief that  littleness can content you. When you strive for anything in this

Tx:15.23  choose is that your choice is your evaluation of yourself. Choose  littleness and you will not have peace, for you will have judged
Tx:15.23  you accept the fact, and accept it gladly, that there is no form of  littleness that can ever content you. You are free to try as many as

Tx:15.34  His host, for it protects only the peace in which He dwells. Lay not  littleness before His holy altar, which rises above the stars and
Tx:15.35  while you do not want it, for it holds the whole release from  littleness.
Tx:15.36 Your practice must therefore rest upon your willingness to let all  littleness go. The instant in which magnitude will dawn upon you is
Tx:15.36  away as your desire for it. As long as you desire it not and cherish  littleness instead, by so much is it far from you. By so much as you

Tx:16.63  within it is also visible, and this spark cannot be limited long to  littleness. Once you have crossed the bridge, the value of the body
Tx:16.64  is magnified, and what is strong and powerful cut down to  littleness. In the transition there is a period of confusion in which
Tx:18.34 Humility will never ask that you remain content with  littleness. But it does require that you be not content with less
Tx:19.57 Yet would I offer you my body, you whom I love, knowing its  littleness? Or would I teach that bodies cannot keep us apart? Mine
Tx:23.4 Let not the little interferers pull you to  littleness. There can be no attraction of guilt in innocence. Think
Tx:23.4  destiny and purpose are far beyond them in the clean place where  littleness does not exist. Your purpose is at variance with
Tx:23.4  where littleness does not exist. Your purpose is at variance with  littleness of any kind. And so it is at variance with sin.
Tx:23.5 Let us not let  littleness lead God's Son into temptation. His glory is beyond it,
Tx:24.12  make of him a tiny measure of your specialness instead. Against the  littleness you see in him, you stand as tall and stately, clean and

Tx:2.38 The Atonement actually began  long before the crucifixion. Many Souls offered their efforts on

Tx:7.48  of mind as God created it, but you think that you have changed it as  long as you learn through the ego. This does place you in a position

Tx:15.14  You must be holy if you offer holiness. How long is an instant? As  long as it takes to reestablish perfect sanity, perfect peace, and
Tx:15.14  peace, and perfect love for everyone, for God, and for yourself. As  long as it takes to remember immortality and your immortal creations
Tx:15.14  immortality and your immortal creations who share it with you. As  long as it takes to exchange hell for Heaven. Long enough to

Tx:15.56  this you cannot have while guilt remains. And there will be guilt as  long as you accept the possibility, and cherish it, that you can make

Tx:15.76  but the working of the ego's plan to establish its own autonomy. As  long as you believe that to be with a body is companionship, you will
Tx:15.88  Limit your vision of a brother to his body, which you will do as  long as you would not release him from it, and you have denied his
Tx:15.89  the attraction of the eternal. No one can hear Him speak of this and  long remain willing to linger here. For it is your will to be in
Tx:15.95  from what it is. Yet it is necessary to examine each one as  long as you would retain the principle which governs all of them.
Tx:15.105 As  long as you perceive the body as your reality, so long will you
Tx:15.105 As long as you perceive the body as your reality, so  long will you perceive yourself as lonely and deprived. And so long

Tx:16.32  off and kept apart. The special love partner is acceptable only as  long as he serves this purpose. Hatred can enter and indeed is
Tx:16.34  of hate, but always at the price of making both illusions. As  long as the illusion of hatred lasts, so long will love be an
Tx:16.34  making both illusions. As long as the illusion of hatred lasts, so  long will love be an illusion to you. And then the only choice which

Tx:18.89 The body will remain guilt's messenger and will act as it directs as  long as you believe that guilt is real. For the reality of guilt is
Tx:18.91  from loveliness to the grotesque. And back and forth they go, as  long as you would play the game of children's make-believe. Yet
Tx:18.91  as you would play the game of children's make-believe. Yet however  long you play it, and regardless of how much imagination you bring to
Tx:19.29 Time is like a downward spiral which seems to travel down from a  long, unbroken line along another plane but which in no way breaks
Tx:19.34  your lips and Heaven's blessing on your sight. You will not see it  long. For in the new perception, the mind corrects it when it seems
Tx:19.55  before the table of communion. And I will join you there, as  long ago I promised and promise still. For in your new relationship

Tx:20.21 Who in a holy relationship can  long remain unholy? The world the holy see is one with them, just as
Tx:20.25  years, starved and emaciated, weak and exhausted and with eyes so  long cast down in darkness they remember not the light, do not leap

Tx:20.57  be long held back from looking on the face of Christ? And can they  long withhold the memory of their relationship with their Father from
Tx:21.8  and yet not altogether unfamiliar, like a song whose name is  long forgotten, and the circumstances in which you heard completely
Tx:21.9  as this. Listen and see if you remember an ancient song you knew so  long ago and held more dear than any melody you taught yourself to
Tx:21.25  as a cause of the events and feelings its maker thinks it causes.  Long ago we spoke of your desire to create your own Creator and be
Tx:21.31  for such a power. For faith can keep the Son of God in chains as  long as he believes he is in chains. And when he is released from

Tx:22.1 Take pity on yourselves, so  long enslaved. Rejoice whom God hath joined have come together and
Tx:22.6  it says, you cannot understand. Yet you have listened to it. And  long and hard you tried to understand its messages. You did not
Tx:22.41  look to the other! How happy you will be to be together after such a  long and lonely journey where you walked alone. The gates of Heaven,
Tx:22.49  happen when they come together? Can the illusion of immovability be  long defended from what is quietly passed through and gone beyond?
Tx:22.56  of everything that is eternal. No trace of anything in time can  long remain in minds that serve the timeless. And no illusion can
Tx:22.57  and serve it willingly. And could remembrance of what they are be  long delayed?
Tx:23.15  disappears when it is brought to truth! For it seems real only as  long as it is seen as war between conflicting truths, the conqueror
Tx:23.42  still contains nothing. And neither the receiver nor the giver is  long deceived. Withhold forgiveness from your brother, and you attack
Tx:24.38  Long ago we said consider not the means by which salvation is
Tx:24.57 See him as what he is that your deliverance may not be  long. A senseless wandering, without a purpose and without
Tx:25.2  him can fail to recognize Him everywhere. Except in bodies. And as  long as they believe they are in bodies, where they think they are He
Tx:25.13  time or place has anything but fear and guilt been your reward. How  long is needed for you to realize the chance of change in this
Tx:25.13  in better outcome? For one thing is sure—the way you see, and  long have seen, gives no support to base your future hopes and no
Tx:25.33  And while you think that suffering and sin will bring you joy, so  long will they be there for you to see. Nothing is harmful or
Tx:25.34  there is pushed away until it is but distant shadows, far away, not  long to be remembered as the sun shines them to nothingness. And all
Tx:25.44  and the light of brilliant day seems painful to the eyes grown  long accustomed to the dim effects perceived at twilight. And they
Tx:26.33  small and senseless maze you still perceive in time, though it has  long since gone. You think you live in what is past. Each thing you
Tx:26.33  what is past. Each thing you look upon you saw but for an instant,  long ago before its unreality gave way to truth. Not one illusion
Tx:26.33  unanswered in your mind. Uncertainty was brought to certainty so  long ago that it is hard indeed to hold it to your heart as if it

Tx:26.36  and dream himself across an ocean to a place and time that have  long since gone by? How real a hindrance can this dream be to where
Tx:26.38 Forget the time of terror that has been so  long ago corrected and undone. Can sin withstand the Will of God? Can
Tx:26.39 Would God allow His Son to lose his way along a road  long since a memory of time gone by? [This course will teach you only
Tx:26.39  unto His Father's perfect Love. And how can he be kept in chains  long since removed and gone forever from his mind?
Tx:26.42  to death and on to life again, a repetition of an instant gone by  long ago, which cannot be relived. And all of time is but the mad
Tx:26.43  of God nor any need that you repeat again a journey that was over  long ago. Look gently on each other and behold the world in which
Tx:26.81 Heaven is grateful for this gift of what has been withheld so  long. For They have come to gather in Their Own. What has been locked
Tx:27.20  is the witness unto his and cannot be apart from his at all. As  long as he consents to suffer, you will be unhealed. Yet you can show
Tx:27.45 Health is the witness unto health. As  long as it is unattested, it remains without conviction. Only when
Tx:28.1  It does not add, but merely takes away. And what it takes away is  long since gone, but being kept in memory, appears to have immediate
Tx:28.1  in memory, appears to have immediate effects. This world was over  long ago. The thoughts that made it are no longer in the mind that

Tx:29.22  see your brother then and understand what really fills the gap so  long perceived as keeping you apart.
Tx:30.43  what He knows exists forever, changelessly. For thoughts endure as  long as does the mind that thought of them. And in the Mind of God
Tx:30.69  Will of God must reach to their awareness. Nor can they forget for  long that it is but their own.
Tx:31.69 You could not recognize your “evil” thoughts as  long as you see value in attack. You will perceive them sometimes,

W1:46.3  periods and as many shorter applications as possible. Begin the  longer practice periods by repeating today's idea to yourself, as

W1:99.12 Think of these things in practicing today, and start your  longer practice periods with this instruction in the way of truth:

Tx:10.43 When we  look at the ego, then, we are not considering dynamics but delusions.
Tx:11.13 If you would  look upon love, which is the world's reality, how could you do better
Tx:11.17  darkness of your own certainty and refusing to open your eyes and  look at them.
Tx:11.18  and so they are not fit gifts for you. Take off the covers and  look at what you are afraid of. Only the anticipation will frighten
Tx:11.18  for quietness is the end of strife and this is the journey to peace.  Look straight at every image that rises to delay you, for the goal is
Tx:11.22  upon it, for to lay aside means to judge against. If you will  look, the Holy Spirit will judge and will judge truly. He cannot
Tx:11.35  God and His Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you will  look out in peace and behold the world truly. Yet to find the place,
Tx:11.40  for you will be seeking it where it is not. You do not know how to  look within yourself, for you do not believe your home is there. Yet
Tx:11.51  set yourself is depressing indeed, it is merely ridiculous if you  look at it. Is it possible that the way to achieve a goal is not to
Tx:11.55  the world. The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you  look upon with love. This gives it the only reality it will ever
Tx:11.56  to the remembering of God. Christ's eyes are open, and He will  look upon whatever you see with love if you accept His vision as
Tx:11.65  be convinced? For you will believe in what you manifest, and as you  look out, so will you see in. Two ways of looking at the world are in

Tx:11.67  a law of mind. Perception is projection, and you look in before you  look out. As you look in you choose the guide for seeing, and then
Tx:11.67  is projection, and you look in before you look out. As you  look in you choose the guide for seeing, and then you look out and
Tx:11.67  out. As you look in you choose the guide for seeing, and then you  look out and behold his witnesses. This is why you find what you
Tx:11.72  you. I have heard your call and I have answered it, but you will not  look upon me nor hear the answer which you sought. That is because
Tx:11.72  will learn that you do want only that. And you will see me as you  look within, and we will look upon the world as God created it
Tx:11.72  want only that. And you will see me as you look within, and we will  look upon the world as God created it together. Through the eyes of
Tx:11.73 When you  look within and see me, it will be because you have decided to
Tx:11.74 Remember, then, that whenever you  look without and react unfavorably to what you see, you have judged
Tx:11.76  that I did not die. You will realize that this is true when you  look within and see me. Would I have overcome death for myself alone?
Tx:11.76  the deathless in yourself, and you will see only the eternal as you  look out upon a world that cannot die.
Tx:11.81  control yourselves should hardly aspire to control the universe. But  look upon what you have made of it and rejoice that it is not so. Son
Tx:11.84  you made and which you see. But take it from the hand of Christ and  look upon it. Its reality will make everything else invisible, for
Tx:11.84  else invisible, for beholding it is total perception. And as you  look upon it, you will remember that it was always so. Nothingness
Tx:11.86  world you see is the delusional system of those made mad by guilt.  Look carefully at this world, and you will realize that this is so.
Tx:11.90  guilt the ego has no life, and God's Son is without guilt. As you  look upon yourselves and judge what you do honestly, as you have been
Tx:11.94  will realize that there is no guilt in God's Son. And only as you  look upon him as guiltless can you understand his oneness. For the
Tx:12.4  depend on keeping this secret. So it is this secret that we must  look upon calmly, for the ego cannot protect you against truth, and
Tx:12.8  and its offerings, but though you do not want the ego, you do not  look upon the alternative with gladness. You are afraid of
Tx:12.10 You may wonder why it is so crucial that you  look upon your hatred and realize its full extent. You may also think
Tx:12.11 You could  look even upon the ego's darkest cornerstone without fear if you did

Tx:12.16 The reason you must  look upon your delusions and not keep them hidden is that they do not
Tx:12.22  answer is the reference point beyond illusions from which you can  look back on them and see them as insane. But seek this place, and
Tx:12.37  it, and all the love your brothers offer you, you do not see. As you  look with open eyes upon your world, it must occur to you that you
Tx:12.38  completely, and you see only your own split mind everywhere you  look. God calls you and you do not hear, for you are preoccupied with
Tx:12.38  own voice. And the vision of Christ is not in your sight, for you  look upon yourself alone.
Tx:12.39  changed. You who know not what you do can learn what insanity is and  look beyond it. It is given you to learn how to deny insanity and
Tx:12.43  which is undimmed by your dreams. And this you will see as you  look with Him, for His vision is His gift of love to you, given Him
Tx:12.45  sane to perceive what was now. If you remember the past as you  look upon your brother, you will be unable to perceive the reality
Tx:12.46  this is unnatural because it is delusional. When you have learned to  look upon everyone with no reference at all to the past, either his
Tx:12.47  see Him through Himself. To be born again is to let the past go and  look without condemnation upon the present. For the cloud which
Tx:12.50  Look lovingly upon the present, for it holds the only things that are
Tx:12.51  does not change and where there is no sight of what you were, you  look at Christ and call His witnesses to shine on you because you
Tx:12.55  so compelling that it will draw the others out of darkness as you  look on them.
Tx:12.56  closed. You do not see your brothers, and in the darkness you cannot  look upon the light you gave to them.
Tx:12.58 Sit quietly and  look upon the world you see, and tell yourself,
Tx:13.17  You throw a dark veil over it and cannot see it because you cannot  look within. You are afraid of what you would see there, but it is
Tx:13.17  there, but it is not there. The thing you fear is gone. If you would  look within, you would see only the Atonement, shining in quiet and
Tx:13.18 Do not be afraid to  look within. The ego tells you all is black with guilt within you and
Tx:13.18  ego tells you all is black with guilt within you and bids you not to  look. Instead, it bids you look upon your brothers and see the guilt
Tx:13.18  with guilt within you and bids you not to look. Instead, it bids you  look upon your brothers and see the guilt in them. Yet this you
Tx:13.18  and guilty in the dark in which they shroud them, are too afraid to  look upon the light within. Within you is not what you believe is
Tx:13.19  innocence? You can deny His knowledge, but you cannot change it.  Look, then, upon the light He placed within you and learn that what
Tx:13.20  be less fearful. You are therefore willing with little opposition to  look upon all sorts of “sources” underneath awareness, provided that
Tx:13.22  they do believe in it. Yet, though they suffer, they will not  look within and let it go. They cannot know they love and cannot
Tx:13.24  shone within you all the while you dreamed of guilt and would not  look within and see it.

Tx:13.27  wholly unjustified, and wholly without reason, you will not fear to  look upon the Atonement and accept it wholly.
Tx:13.28  you is the perfect purity in which you were created. Fear not to  look upon the lovely truth in you. Look through the cloud of guilt
Tx:13.28  you were created. Fear not to look upon the lovely truth in you.  Look through the cloud of guilt that dims your vision, and look past
Tx:13.28  in you. Look through the cloud of guilt that dims your vision, and  look past darkness to the holy place where you will see the light.
Tx:13.29 Release from guilt as you would be released. There is no other way to  look within and see the light of love shining as steadily and as
Tx:13.29  who have always loved your Father can have no fear for any reason to  look within and see your holiness. You cannot be as you believed you
Tx:13.31 Behold the Son of God and  look upon his purity and be still. In quiet look upon his holiness
Tx:13.31 Behold the Son of God and look upon his purity and be still. In quiet  look upon his holiness and offer thanks unto his Father that no guilt
Tx:13.32  untouched by guilt and wholly loving, is bright within you. Let us  look upon him together and love him. For in our love of him is your
Tx:13.32  and love him. For in our love of him is your guiltlessness. But  look upon yourself, and gladness and appreciation for what you see
Tx:13.35  the war is between forces that are real and unreal powers, he could  look upon himself and see his freedom. No one finds himself ravaged
Tx:13.60  how foolish it has been. Be glad it is undone, for when you  look at it in simple honesty, it is undone. We said before, “Be not
Tx:13.61  in all its gracious simplicity. With truth before you, you will not  look back.
Tx:13.65  to using guiltlessness merely to offset the pain of guilt and do not  look upon it as having value in itself. You believe that guilt and
Tx:13.72  to His Son is his, and nothing else can His Son see or choose to  look upon without imposing on himself the penalty of guilt in place
Tx:14.15  everything that makes it holy. Come gladly to the holy circle, and  look out in peace on all who think they are outside. Cast no one out,
Tx:14.18  being nothing at all. As guardians of darkness and of ignorance,  look to them only for fear, for what they keep obscure is fearful.
Tx:14.25  by hiding truth in fear, you see no reason to believe the more you  look at fear, the less you see it, and the clearer what it conceals
Tx:14.30  if you make the darkness open to Him. But what you hide He cannot  look upon. For He sees for you, and unless you look with Him, He
Tx:14.30  you hide He cannot look upon. For He sees for you, and unless you  look with Him, He cannot see. The vision of Christ is not for Him
Tx:14.30  you. Bring, therefore, all your dark and secret thoughts to Him and  look upon them with Him. He holds the light, and you the darkness.
Tx:14.30  and you the darkness. They cannot coexist when both of you together  look on them. His judgment must prevail, and He will give it to you
Tx:14.43  it because he has been taught his need for it but knows not where to  look to find it. Let him, then, see it in you and share it with you.
Tx:14.44  mind is not obscure and will not change. Its meaning to those who  look upon it is not obscure, for everyone perceives it as the same.
Tx:15.6  leap from hell into oblivion. The only time the ego allows anyone to  look upon with some amount of equanimity is the past. And even there
Tx:15.46  If you seek to separate out certain aspects of the totality and  look to them to meet your imagined needs, you are attempting to use
Tx:15.53  of the past, you see that love is in you, and you have no need to  look without and snatch it guiltily from where you thought it was.
Tx:15.67  for what it is. For having been made real to you, it is essential to  look at it clearly, and by withdrawing your investment in it, to
Tx:15.69  of his release, and in the name of Him Who would release him, let us  look more closely at the relationships which the ego contrives and
Tx:15.69  Holy Spirit judge them truly. For it is certain that, if you will  look at them, you will offer them gladly to Him. What He can make of
Tx:15.96  conceive of love without sacrifice. And it is this that you must  look upon—sacrifice is attack, not love. If you would accept but
Tx:15.99  this has been so great that you have given God away rather than  look at it. For if God would demand total sacrifice of you, you
Tx:16.17  honestly what they have been? God wills you better. Could you not  look with greater charity on whom God loves with perfect love?
Tx:16.21  that your Teacher came from beyond your thought system and so could  look upon it fairly and perceive it was untrue. And He must have done
Tx:16.30 Be not afraid to  look upon the special hate relationship, for freedom lies in looking
Tx:16.30  it go. Your salvation will rise clearly before your open eyes as you  look on this. You cannot limit hate. The special love relationship
Tx:16.36  How but in illusion could this be done? It is essential that we  look very closely at exactly what it is you think you can do to solve
Tx:16.37  relationship with them is without guilt, and this enables you to  look on all your brothers with gratitude because your creations were
Tx:16.53  is weak and little, [and unworthy of value,] you would not dare to  look upon it. You think it safer to endow the little self which you
Tx:16.60 Love is freedom. To  look for it by placing yourself in bondage is to separate yourself
Tx:16.60  the ego has taught you that freedom lies in it. Yet the closer you  look at the special relationship, the more apparent it becomes that
Tx:16.67  have escaped the mockery of salvation which the ego offered you and  look not back with longing on the travesty it made of your
Tx:16.67  of the beauty and holiness of guilt. Only the wholly insane could  look on death and suffering, sickness and despair and see it thus.
Tx:16.74  But what else could it be? In seeking the special relationship, you  look not for glory in yourself. You have denied that it is there, and
Tx:17.7 Can you imagine how beautiful those you forgive will  look to you? In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so lovely.
Tx:17.7  of God. You will behold the beauty which the Holy Spirit loves to  look upon and which He thanks the Father for. He was created to see
Tx:17.12 All this beauty will rise to bless your sight as you  look upon the world with forgiving eyes. For forgiveness literally
Tx:17.35  Look at the picture. Do not let the frame distract you. This gift is
Tx:17.35  gift. Let not your gaze dwell on the hypnotic gleaming of the frame.  Look at the picture, and realize that death is offered you.
Tx:17.38  is the gift. And only on this basis are you really free to choose.  Look at the pictures. Both of them. One is a tiny picture, hard to
Tx:17.38  enclosure. The other is lightly framed and hung in light, lovely to  look upon for what it is.
Tx:17.39  and ceases to distract you from the picture. And finally you  look upon the picture itself, seeing at last that, unprotected by the
Tx:17.40  The picture of Heaven and eternity grows more convincing as you  look at it. And now by real comparison a transformation of both
Tx:17.41  contrast, is transformed into what lies beyond the picture. As you  look on this, you realize that it is not a picture but a reality.
Tx:17.57  to use them in each situation separately, until you can more safely  look beyond each situation in an understanding far broader than you
Tx:17.59  to happen and makes no sense until it has already happened. Then you  look back at it and try to piece together what it must have meant.
Tx:17.68  and you are faithless. Use not your faithlessness. Let it enter and  look upon it calmly, but do not use it. Faithlessness is the servant
Tx:17.68  of the goal to you. Accept not the illusion of peace it offers, but  look upon its offering and recognize it is illusion.
Tx:18.5  of it? Its fragmented aspects are fearful enough, as you begin to  look at them. But nothing you have seen begins to show you the
Tx:18.12  apart what is already broken and hopeless? Is it here that you would  look for happiness? Or would you not prefer to heal what has been
Tx:18.66  Yet the means are tedious and very time consuming, for all of them  look to the future for release from a state of present unworthiness
Tx:18.78  Should it not, then, be there that you would call on love to enter?  Look at the desert, dry and unproductive, scorched and joyless, which
Tx:18.88  always depend on keeping it not seen. The body's eyes will never  look on it. Yet they will see what it dictates.
Tx:19.9  For by withholding faith, you see what is unworthy of it and cannot  look beyond the barrier to what is joined with you.
Tx:19.30  it is unbroken and forever changeless. This One can teach you how to  look on time differently and see beyond it, but not while you believe
Tx:19.34 And yet you  look with Heaven's smile upon your lips and Heaven's blessing on your
Tx:19.35  for you who were sightless have been given vision, and you can see.  Look not for what has been removed but for the glory that has been
Tx:19.36  Look upon your Redeemer and behold what He would show you in each
Tx:19.36  For sin would keep you separate, but your Redeemer would have you  look upon each other as yourself. Your relationship is now a temple
Tx:19.39  you owe to Him He asks but that you receive for Him. And when you  look with gentle graciousness upon each other, you are beholding Him.
Tx:19.45  you well, as you know Heaven. No illusions stand between you now.  Look not upon the little wall of shadows. The sun has risen over it.
Tx:19.46  Who you invited in and push Him out must produce conflict. As you  look upon the world, this little wish, uprooted and floating
Tx:19.49 The attraction of guilt produces fear of love, for love would never  look on guilt at all. It is the nature of love to look upon only the
Tx:19.49  love would never look on guilt at all. It is the nature of love to  look upon only the truth, for there it sees itself, with which it
Tx:19.49  with which it would unite in holy union and completion. As love must  look past fear, so must fear see love not. For love contains the end
Tx:19.51  fear is wholly absent from love's gentle perception. What love would  look upon is meaningless to fear and quite invisible. Relationships
Tx:19.51  depends on which emotion was called on to send its messengers to  look upon it and return with word of what they saw. Fear's messengers
Tx:19.62 It is only the messengers of fear that see the body, for they  look for what can suffer. Is it a sacrifice to be removed from what
Tx:19.64  The end of guilt is in your hands to give. Would you stop now to  look for guilt in each other?
Tx:19.65 Let me be to you the symbol of the end of guilt, and  look upon each other as you would look on me. Forgive me all the sins
Tx:19.65  symbol of the end of guilt, and look upon each other as you would  look on me. Forgive me all the sins you think the Son of God
Tx:19.83  be accomplished first? The body can but serve your purpose. As you  look upon it, so will it seem to be. Death, were it true, would be
Tx:19.85  die, for only death could conquer life. And what but insanity could  look upon the defeat of God and think it real?
Tx:19.89 Take this from me and  look upon it, judging it for me. Let me not see it as a sign of sin
Tx:19.93  you have agreed never to let the fear of God be lifted so you could  look upon the face of Christ and join Him in His Father.
Tx:19.95 And now you stand in terror before what you swore never to  look upon. Your eyes look down, remembering your promise to your
Tx:19.95  stand in terror before what you swore never to look upon. Your eyes  look down, remembering your promise to your “friends.” The

Tx:19.96  leave the world forever. This is the reestablishment of your will.  Look upon it open-eyed and you will nevermore believe that you are at
Tx:19.96  and thoughts that come to you against your will. It is your will to  look on this. No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget again, no

Tx:19.97  remains with you, and when you raise your eyes, you will be ready to  look on terror with no fear at all. But first lift up your eyes and
Tx:19.97  look on terror with no fear at all. But first lift up your eyes and  look upon each other in innocence born of complete forgiveness of
Tx:19.98 No one can  look upon the fear of God unterrified unless he has accepted the
Tx:19.98  far unless his brother walked beside him. And no one would dare to  look on it without complete forgiveness of his brother in his heart.
Tx:19.99 Nor is it possible to  look on this too soon. This is the place to which everyone must come
Tx:19.99  you, you see its purpose. And it is here you choose whether to  look upon it or wander on, only to return and make the choice again.
Tx:19.100 To  look upon the fear of God does need some preparation. Only the sane

Tx:19.106  mercy are yours to give. Into the hands that give the gift is given.  Look on your brother, and see in him the gift of God you would
Tx:19.107  your brother here, as I freed you. Give him the self-same gift, nor  look upon him with condemnation of any kind. See him as guiltless as
Tx:19.107  upon him with condemnation of any kind. See him as guiltless as I  look on you, and overlook the sins he thinks he sees within himself.
Tx:19.109 Think carefully how you would  look upon the giver of this gift, for as you look on him, so will the
Tx:19.109  carefully how you would look upon the giver of this gift, for as you  look on him, so will the gift itself appear to be. As he is seen as
Tx:20.4  with him. The time of Easter is a time of joy and not of mourning.  Look on your risen Friend and celebrate his holiness along with me.
Tx:20.5  Look upon all the trinkets made to hang upon the body or to cover it
Tx:20.8  him? Be you his friend for me that I may be forgiven and you may  look upon the Son of God as whole. But look you first upon the altar
Tx:20.8  I may be forgiven and you may look upon the Son of God as whole. But  look you first upon the altar in your chosen home and see what you
Tx:20.8  and it is separation that you offer me. And yet the thorns are gone.  Look you still closer at them now, and you will see your altar is no
Tx:20.9 You  look still with the body's eyes, and they can see but thorns. Yet you
Tx:20.10 This Easter  look with different eyes upon each other. You have forgiven me. And
Tx:20.11 You have the vision now to  look past all illusions. It has been given you to see no thorns, no
Tx:20.11  to peace. The fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is afraid to  look upon illusions, knowing his savior stands beside him? With him,
Tx:20.11  his release. For you have asked for and been given the strength to  look upon this final obstacle and see no thorns nor nails to crucify
Tx:20.12  have you ever failed entirely to hear. You heard but knew not how to  look nor where. And now you know. In you the knowledge lies, ready to
Tx:20.13  of forgiveness. Let him be to you the savior from illusions, and  look on him with the new vision that looks upon the lilies and brings
Tx:20.19  themselves to a world made fearful by their adjustments. And they  look out in sorrow from what is sad within and see the sadness there.
Tx:20.20 Have you not wondered what the world is really like; how it would  look through happy eyes? The world you see is but a judgment on
Tx:20.20  it was you who made it merciless, and now if mercilessness seems to  look back at you, it can be corrected.
Tx:20.23  thing in all the seeing universe of truth you ask, “How shall I  look upon the Son of God?”
Tx:20.24  the answer and adjust to it as if it were the truth? The world you  look on is the answer that it gave you, and you have given it power
Tx:20.27  There is no fear in perfect love because it knows no sin and it must  look on others as on itself. Looking with charity within, what can it
Tx:20.27  see safety, and the pure in heart see God within His Son and  look unto the Son to lead them to the Father. And where else would
Tx:20.32  not salvation. And each one finds his savior when he is ready to  look upon the face of Christ and see Him sinless.
Tx:20.41  use which serves the purpose of a holy relationship. And while you  look upon each other thus, the means and end have not been brought in
Tx:20.42 You  look upon each holy instant as a different point in time. It never
Tx:20.42  will give each other already given; the face of Christ you yet will  look upon already seen.
Tx:20.53  rising to welcome what you really want. And from His holy temple,  look you not back on what you have awakened from. For no illusions
Tx:20.60  the goal, and they are perfectly in line with it. Before we  look at them a little closer, remember that if you think they are
Tx:20.61 It is impossible to see your brother as sinless and yet to  look upon him as a body. Is this not perfectly consistent with the
Tx:20.65  undo your teaching. His vision cannot see the body because it cannot  look on sin. And thus it leads you to reality. Your holy brother,
Tx:20.66  is the Holy Spirit's goal. The means is vision. For what the seeing  look upon is sinless. No one who loves can judge, and what he sees is
Tx:20.69 Your brother's sinlessness is given you in shining light, to  look on with the Holy Spirit's vision and to rejoice in along with
Tx:20.70  the vision which enables each one to see the body not. And as you  look upon each other, you will see an altar to your Father, holy as
Tx:20.70  a better home, a safer shelter for God's Son? Why would you rather  look on it than on the truth? How can the engine of destruction be
Tx:20.72  to overlook it in any form and seeing it everywhere, in everything.  Look through its eyes, and everything will stand condemned before
Tx:21.4  be seen instead. It is not necessary to imagine what the world must  look like. It must be seen before you recognize it for what it is.
Tx:21.10  somehow familiar, is an arc of golden light that stretches as you  look into a great and shining circle. And all the circle fills with
Tx:21.12  they made will not withstand the memory of this song. And they will  look upon the vision of the Son of God, remembering who he is they
Tx:21.19  to have it taken from him and be replaced with truth. And as you  look upon the change in him, it will be given you to see it in
Tx:21.20 Perhaps you do not see the need for you to give this little offering.  Look closer, then, at what it is. And very simply see in it the whole
Tx:21.23  comes of vision and suspended judgment. Then only is it possible to  look within and see what must be there plainly in sight and wholly
Tx:21.36  for sin by choosing to let all limitations be removed. Desiring to  look upon their brothers in holiness, the power of belief and faith
Tx:21.36  follow this decision are also born of faith. For all who choose to  look away from sin are given vision and are led to holiness.
Tx:21.40  serve as means to help the blind to see. But in their seeing, they  look past it, as do you. The faith and the belief you gave it belongs
Tx:21.41  correct, but this makes no one fearful. You are indeed afraid to  look within and see the sin you think is there. This you would not be
Tx:21.42  Whom it cannot even see, it fears. Loudly the ego tells you not to  look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light on sin, and God will
Tx:21.42  and God will strike you blind. This you believe, and so you do not  look. Yet this is not the ego's hidden fear, nor yours who serve it.
Tx:21.42  proclamation, the ego is not certain it is so. Beneath your fear to  look within because of sin is yet another fear and one which makes
Tx:21.43  sin has been already shaken, nor are you now entirely unwilling to  look within and see it not.
Tx:21.44  yet born within you. Not wholly mad, you have been willing to  look on much of your insanity and recognize its madness. Your faith
Tx:21.44  you. And yet this part with which you now identify is not afraid to  look upon itself. It knows no sin. How, otherwise, could it have been
Tx:21.46  it would withdraw from you in rage at your “presumptuous” wish to  look within, you do not want. A few remaining trinkets still seem to
Tx:21.48  Look gently on each other and remember the ego's weakness is revealed
Tx:21.49  if other things were equal. They are not equal. For what you  look for, you are far more likely to discover than what you would
Tx:21.60  guilty and sees a sinless world? And who can see a sinful world and  look upon himself apart from it? Sin would maintain you must be
Tx:21.61  Madness and reason see the same things, but it is certain that they  look upon them differently.
Tx:21.66  would conceal, the Holy Spirit still holds out for everyone to  look upon with gladness.
Tx:21.78  in the other three. And then it will be clear to you that, as you  look on the effects of sin in any form, all you need do is simply ask
Tx:21.82  since it is this the world of sin denies. And therefore those who  look on sin are seeing the denial of the real world. Yet the last
Tx:21.84  who sees himself as helpless. Desire what you will, and you will  look on it and think it real. No thought but has the power to release
Tx:22.1  Rejoice whom God hath joined have come together and need no longer  look on sin apart. No two can look on sin together, for they could
Tx:22.1  have come together and need no longer look on sin apart. No two can  look on sin together, for they could never see it in the same place
Tx:22.6  Surely not you, whose sight is wholly independent of the eyes which  look upon the world. If this is not your vision, what can it show to
Tx:22.24 Let us  look closer at the whole illusion that what you made has power to
Tx:22.25 Behold the great projection, but  look on it with the decision that it must be healed and not with
Tx:22.26  have been impossible. Salvation cannot be. It is impossible to  look upon your savior as your enemy and recognize him. Yet it is
Tx:22.26  what He gave the Holy Spirit to give to you, He gave. Would you not  look upon the savior that has been given you? And would you not
Tx:22.28  Heaven is the home of perfect purity, and God created it for you.  Look on your holy brother, sinless as yourself, and let him lead you
Tx:22.33  cannot see beyond what they were made to see. And they were made to  look on error and not see past it. Theirs is indeed a strange
Tx:22.33  a strange perception, for they can see only illusions, unable to  look beyond the granite block of sin and stopping at the outside form
Tx:22.41  will see who walk with Him! And think how beautiful will each of you  look to the other! How happy you will be to be together after such a
Tx:22.50  to overlook what seems to stand between you that makes it  look impenetrable and defends the illusion of its immovability.
Tx:22.59 What can it be but universal blessing to  look on what your Father loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness
Tx:22.59  to the other lights up the world. Be not concerned with darkness;  look away from it and toward each other. And let the darkness be
Tx:22.60  at the mercy of countless attackers more powerful than you. Let us  look straight at how this error came about, for here lies buried the
Tx:22.64  experience with him. What can this mean except your minds are one?  Look not with fear upon this happy fact and think not that it lays a
Tx:23.6 Nothing around you but is part of you.  Look on it lovingly, and see the light of Heaven in it. So will you
Tx:23.14  yourself in conflict with each other. And this occurs whenever you  look on anything that God created with anything but love. Conflict is
Tx:23.19  to constitute an obstacle to reason and to truth. Let us, then,  look upon them calmly, that we may look beyond them, understanding
Tx:23.19  and to truth. Let us, then, look upon them calmly, that we may  look beyond them, understanding what they are, not what they would
Tx:23.29  taken from you by this enemy and hidden where you would not think to  look. He hid it in his body, making it the cover for his guilt, the
Tx:23.31  make the ground beneath your feet seem solid. And it is here you  look for meaning. These are the laws you made for your salvation.
Tx:23.33  fear, with ashen lips and sightless eyes, blinded and terrible to  look upon, is lifted to the throne of love, its dying conqueror, its
Tx:23.36  do not believe these senseless laws nor act upon them. And when you  look at what they say, they cannot be believed. Brothers, you do
Tx:23.41  his savagery with smiles as he attacks. Yet he will suffer and will  look on his intent in nightmares where the smiles are gone and where
Tx:23.46  it will not return. There is no safety in a battleground. You can  look down on it in safety from above and not be touched. But from
Tx:23.51 Be lifted up and from a higher place  look down upon it. From there will your perspective be quite
Tx:23.53 See no one from the battleground, for there you  look on him from nowhere. You have no reference-point from where to
Tx:23.53  look on him from nowhere. You have no reference-point from where to  look, where meaning can be given what you see. For only bodies could
Tx:24.9  other if you chose to see no specialness of any kind between you?  Look fairly at whatever makes you give each other only partial
Tx:24.16  Christ's vision is their “enemy,” for it sees not what they would  look upon, and it would show them that the specialness they think
Tx:24.32  your eyes a little; see the savior God gave to you that you might  look on him and give him back his birthright. It is yours.
Tx:24.33  calls to you from him to join His Will to save you both from hell.  Look on the print of nails upon his hands that he holds out for your
Tx:24.43  him before it hated you. The sin its eyes behold in him and love to  look upon, it saw in you and looks on still with joy. Yet is it joy
Tx:24.43  upon, it saw in you and looks on still with joy. Yet is it joy to  look upon decay and madness and believe this crumbling thing, with
Tx:24.46  see their holiness. And He rejoices that these sights are yours to  look upon with Him and share His joy. His perfect lack of specialness
Tx:24.51  absent from your own. It is His Will you share His love for you and  look upon yourself as lovingly as He conceived of you before the
Tx:24.53  Look on your brother and behold in him the whole reversal of the laws
Tx:24.54 It is His sinlessness that eyes which see can  look upon. It is His loveliness they see in everything. And it is He
Tx:24.54  upon. It is His loveliness they see in everything. And it is He they  look for everywhere and find no sight nor place nor time where He is
Tx:24.55  holiness as what you want to see, and which you choose is yours to  look upon. Yet will you choose in countless situations and through
Tx:24.70  Look at yourself, and you will see a body. Look at this body in a
Tx:24.70 Look at yourself, and you will see a body.  Look at this body in a different light, and it looks different. And
Tx:24.70  means to make your wish come true. It gives the eyes with which you  look on it, the hands that feel it, and the ears with which you
Tx:24.72  brother as he is in you. Their difference does not lie in how they  look, nor where they go, nor even what they do. They have a different
Tx:25.5 How can you manifest the Christ in you except you  look on holiness and see Him there? Perception tells you, you are
Tx:25.5  and you will believe that you are there. And every body that you  look upon reminds you of yourself—your sinfulness, your evil, and
Tx:25.18  God's frame instead of yours, and you will see the masterpiece.  Look at its loveliness, and understand the Mind that thought it, not
Tx:25.18  you saw it in a frame of death. God kept it safe that you might  look on it and see the holiness that He has given it.
Tx:25.19  Mind shows him to you. He will step forth from darkness as you  look on him, and you will see the dark no more. The darkness touched
Tx:25.19  darkness touched him not, nor you who brought him forth for you to  look upon. His sinlessness but pictures yours. His gentleness becomes
Tx:25.19  yours. His gentleness becomes your strength, and both will gladly  look within and see the holiness that must be there because of what
Tx:25.34  world you bring with you to all the weary eyes and tired hearts that  look on sin and beat its sad refrain. From you can come their rest.
Tx:25.34  can come their rest. From you can rise a world they will rejoice to  look upon and where their hearts are glad. In you there is a vision
Tx:25.38  and wish him dead? Christ stands before you both each time you  look on one another. He has not gone because your eyes are closed.
Tx:25.39  you see by looking thus. It is the “enemy” confused with Christ you  look upon. And hate because there is no sin in him for you to see.
Tx:25.42  your attack believe He hates you, thinking Heaven must be hell.  Look once again upon your brother, not without the understanding that
Tx:25.43 The grace of God rests gently on forgiving eyes, and everything they  look on speaks of Him to the beholder. He can see no evil, nothing in
Tx:25.44  they turn away from sunlight and the clarity it brings to what they  look upon. Dimness seems better—easier to see and better
Tx:25.44  recognized. Somehow, the vague and more obscure seems easier to  look upon; less painful to the eyes than what is wholly clear and
Tx:25.45 Will you behold your brother? God is glad to have you  look on him. He does not will your savior be unrecognized by you. Nor
Tx:25.55  is equally insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would  look beyond the madness and rest peacefully on truth. Each sees a
Tx:25.60  the total cost of any gain at all. You who believe that God is mad,  look carefully at this and understand that it must be that either God
Tx:25.69  And what escape has He for them except a door to hell that seems to  look like Heaven's gate?
Tx:25.75  not perceive in every circumstance that this is true. Nor need you  look to your experience within the world, which is but shadows of all
Tx:26.1  of a wish to see a little part of him and sacrifice the rest.  Look at the world, and you will see nothing attached to anything
Tx:26.14  his innocence. Would it be fair to punish him because you will not  look at what is there to see? Each time you keep a problem for
Tx:26.33  long since gone. You think you live in what is past. Each thing you  look upon you saw but for an instant, long ago before its unreality
Tx:26.43  nor any need that you repeat again a journey that was over long ago.  Look gently on each other and behold the world in which perception of
Tx:26.76  a denial of the fact that consequence and cause must come as one.  Look not to time but to the little space between you still to be
Tx:26.77  attack His chosen home and battle with His host. Regard him gently.  Look with loving eyes on him who carries Christ within him, that you
Tx:27.2  yourself to be the sign that he has lost his innocence and need but  look on you to realize that he has been condemned. And what to you
Tx:27.6  and every tear is wiped away in laughter and in love. And he will  look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes will look beyond
Tx:27.6  And he will look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes will  look beyond it to the innocence that he beholds in you. Here is the
Tx:27.49  it. The world of accusation is replaced by one in which all eyes  look lovingly upon the Friend who brought them their release. And
Tx:27.63 Now you are being shown you can escape. All that is needed is you  look upon the problem as it is, and not the way that you have set it
Tx:27.66  the effects which then bear witness to the cause and not themselves.  Look, then, beyond effects. It is not here the cause of suffering and
Tx:27.67  it is this the world bears witness to. Seek not another cause nor  look among the mighty legions of its witnesses for its undoing. They
Tx:27.67  on your allegiance. What conceals the truth is not where you should  look to find the truth. The witnesses to sin all stand within one
Tx:27.77  is its main concern. Its comfort is its guiding rule. It tries to  look for pleasure and avoid the things that would be hurtful. Above
Tx:27.81  appear to be the cause of what it is you do? Then let us merely  look upon the dream's beginning, for the part you see is but the
Tx:27.82 We can remember this if we but  look directly at their cause. And we will see the grounds for
Tx:27.85  entirely? He bids you bring each terrible effect to Him that you may  look together on its foolish cause and laugh with Him a while. You
Tx:28.51  a dream, your ears bear witness to illusion. They were made to  look upon a world that is not there, to hear the voices that can make
Tx:28.53  and no darkened tombs where terror rises from the bones of death.  Look at the little gap, and you behold the innocence and emptiness of
Tx:28.54  to be what it is not. It does not seek to make of pain a joy and  look for lasting pleasure in the dust. It does not tell you what its
Tx:29.11  as yet perceived. And its effects are there, though not yet seen.  Look inward now, and you will not behold a reason for regret but
Tx:29.13  Him. He has laid them at your feet and asks you now that you will  look on them and take them for your own. He needs your help in giving
Tx:29.14  see your Guest, but you can see the gifts He brought. And when you  look on them, you will believe His Presence must be there. For what
Tx:29.19  loss you celebrate when you behold the body as a thing you love, or  look upon it as a thing you hate. For if He be the sum of everything,
Tx:29.46  yourself. The search implies you are not whole within and fear to  look upon your devastation and prefer to seek outside yourself for
Tx:29.48  within, and your completion lies in Him. No idol takes His place.  Look not to idols. Do not seek outside yourself. Let us forget the
Tx:29.61  wish—to let himself fall lower than the stones upon the ground and  look to idols that they raise him up? Hear then your story in the
Tx:30.23 I want another way to  look at this.
Tx:30.26 Perhaps there is another way to  look at this. What can I lose by asking?
Tx:30.35  Look once again upon your enemy, the one you chose to hate instead of
Tx:30.37  with him, he is healed. And now is God forgiven, for you chose to  look upon your brother as a friend.
Tx:30.40  a form you like. This is the purpose of an idol—that you will not  look beyond it to the source of the belief that you are incomplete.
Tx:30.53  could it be but an illusion, making things appear like to itself?  Look calmly at its toys and understand that they are idols which but
Tx:30.55  that no one ever did, to overlook what is not there, and not to  look upon the unreal as reality. You are but asked to let your will
Tx:30.63  they stand already at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they still  look back and think they see an idol that they want. Yet has their
Tx:30.63  joined their hands, it was Christ's hand they took, and they will  look on Him Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked upon
Tx:30.65  is passing from the world. And with it goes all hatred and all fear.  Look back no longer, for what lies ahead is all you ever wanted in
Tx:30.66 Do not  look back except in honesty. And when an idol tempts you, think of
Tx:30.68  he will pay the cost as well as you. For he will be delayed when you  look back, and you will not perceive Whose loving hand you hold. Look
Tx:30.68  you look back, and you will not perceive Whose loving hand you hold.  Look forward, then, and walk in confidence with happy hearts that
Tx:30.75  the meaning of a fixed belief that some appearances are harder to  look past than others are. It always means you think forgiveness must
Tx:30.76  an image of yourself that is not whole and will remain afraid to  look within and find escape from every idol there. Salvation rests on
Tx:30.77  Look on your brother with the willingness to see him as he is. And do
Tx:30.81  Look on your brother with this hope in you, and you will understand
Tx:30.87  dreams are but the senseless, isolated scripts you write in sleep.  Look not to separate dreams for meaning. Only dreams of pardon can be
Tx:30.93  to you to see in happy form, devoid of fear. It will be given you to  look upon your brother thus. But not while you would have it
Tx:30.93  and whole. The Christ in him is perfect. Is it this that you would  look upon? Then let there be no dreams about him which you would
Tx:30.94 This will you  look upon when you decide there is not one appearance you would hold
Tx:31.10  when he learns his innocence. For hate must father fear and  look upon its father as itself. How wrong are you who fail to hear
Tx:31.11  is the proof of what you learned. Its outcome is the world you  look upon.
Tx:31.14  Nor are they different. Yet must we see them both before you can  look past them to the one alternative that is a different choice. But
Tx:31.36  in the world which seems to point to still another road. No longer  look for hope where there is none. Make fast your learning now, and
Tx:31.47  fear so devastating that the face which smiles above it must forever  look away, lest it perceive the treachery it hides. The lesson
Tx:31.47  The lesson teaches this: “I am the thing you made of me, and as you  look on me, you stand condemned because of what I am.” On this
Tx:31.57  it as you see yourself. The concept of the self embraces all you  look upon, and nothing is outside of this perception. If you can be
Tx:31.60  am and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to  look upon the world or on myself.
Tx:31.65  truth about yourself must really be. It makes no difference what you  look upon nor what you choose to feel or think or wish. For God
Tx:31.72  with you, so that your fearful concept of yourself may change. And  look upon the good in him that you may not be frightened by your
Tx:31.73  to use, and you can see yourself another way. Would you not rather  look upon yourself as needed for salvation of the world instead of as
Tx:31.74  hides it from your sight. All things you see are images because you  look on them as through a barrier which dims your sight and warps
Tx:31.74  most, you glimpse a shadow of what lies beyond. At least, you merely  look on darkness and perceive the terrified imaginings that come from
Tx:31.77  ones whom God has given each of you to save are everyone you meet or  look upon, not knowing who they are, all those you saw an instant and
Tx:31.78  him apart from yours? For holiness is seen through holy eyes that  look upon the innocence within and thus expect to see it everywhere.
Tx:31.78  to see it everywhere. And so they call it forth in everyone they  look upon that he may be what they expect of him. This is the
Tx:31.79  but represent a wish, because it has no power to create. Yet it can  look with love or look with hate, depending only on the simple choice
Tx:31.79  because it has no power to create. Yet it can look with love or  look with hate, depending only on the simple choice of whether you
Tx:31.80  serves a wholly open mind, unclouded by old concepts and prepared to  look on only what the present holds. It cannot judge because it does
Tx:31.92 You are as God created you, and so is every living thing you  look upon, regardless of the images you see. What you behold as
Tx:31.93  with him, and through the Christ in you unveil his eyes and let him  look upon the Christ in him. My brothers in salvation, do not fail to
W1:1.1 Now  look slowly around you, and practice applying this idea very
W1:1.3 Then  look farther away from your immediate area, and apply the idea to a
W1:4.1  you think are “bad.” You will find, if you train yourself to  look at your thoughts, that they represent such a mixture that, in a
W1:7.8  first time idea is not really so strange as it may sound at first.  Look at a cup, for example.
W1:7.10  Look about you. This is equally true of whatever you look at.
W1:7.10 Look about you. This is equally true of whatever you  look at. Acknowledge this by applying the idea for today
W1:11.2  and repeat the idea slowly to yourself. Then open your eyes and  look about, near or far, up or down—anywhere. During the minute or
W1:12.2 These exercises are done with eyes open.  Look around you, this time quite slowly. Try to pace yourself so that
W1:12.3 As you  look about you, say to yourself:
W1:13.4  closed, repeat today's idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and  look about you slowly, saying:
W1:13.6 Repeat this statement to yourself as you  look about. Then close your eyes and conclude with:
W1:15.6  of today's idea. It is necessary, however, to continue to  look at each subject while you repeat the idea to yourself. The idea
W1:17.4 Then  look about you, resting your glance on each thing that catches your
W1:18.3 Selecting subjects for the application of the idea randomly,  look at each one long enough to say:
W1:22.3  Look at the world about you at least five times today, for at least a
W1:23.6  five practice periods are required in applying today's idea. As you  look about you, repeat the idea slowly to yourself and then close
W1:28.5  just that table if you could withdraw all your own ideas from it and  look upon it with a completely open mind. It has something to show
W1:29.3 Try then today to begin to learn how to  look on all things with love, appreciation, and open-mindedness. You
W1:30.1  From this idea will the world open up before you, and you will  look upon it and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor will

W1:32.3  at the world you see as outside yourself. Then close your eyes and  look around your inner world. Try to treat them both as equally as
W1:35.4  or debased. All of them are equally unreal because you do not  look upon yourself through the eyes of holiness.
W1:36.3  the idea for today several times slowly. Then open your eyes and  look quite slowly about you, applying the idea specifically to
W1:36.6  the shorter exercise periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea;  look about you as you repeat it again; and conclude with one more
W1:42.7  close your eyes, repeat the idea once more, and then continue to  look for related thoughts in your mind.
W1:45.3  real thoughts? Today we will attempt to reach them. We will have to  look for them in your mind because that is where they are. They must
W1:51.3  what I see all the meaning it has for me. I have judged everything I  look upon. And it is this and only this that I see. This is not
W1:52.3 [7] I see only the past. As I  look about, I condemn the world I look upon. I call this seeing. I
W1:52.3 [7] I see only the past. As I look about, I condemn the world I  look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the past against everyone and
W1:52.3  I see. There will be no past and therefore no “enemies.” And I will  look with love on all that I failed to see before.
W1:52.4  the past. What, then, can I see as it is? Let me remember that I  look on the past to prevent the present from dawning on my mind. Let
W1:53.2  as well as insane ones. I can therefore see a real world if I  look to my real thoughts as my guide for seeing.
W1:54.3  I did not think, I would not exist, because life is thought. Let me  look on the world I see as the representation of my own state of
W1:54.6  the shared nature of my thoughts, I am determined to see. I would  look upon the witnesses that show me the thinking of the world has
W1:54.6  laughter to replace weeping, and abundance to replace loss. I would  look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the
W1:55.4  and safety and joy. It is this I choose to see in place of what I  look on now.
W1:56.3  truth, vision will surely be given me. And with this vision, I will  look upon the world and upon myself with charity and love.
W1:56.4  I would let the door behind this world be opened for me that I may  look past it to the world that reflects the Love of God.
W1:56.5  and in everything forever. And we who are part of Him will yet  look past all appearances and recognize the truth beyond them all.
W1:57.4  that the world is really a place where he can be set free. I would  look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place where the Son of
W1:57.6  that this peace comes from deep within myself. The world I  look upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness and shines
W1:59.3 [42] God is my strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not  look to my own eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my
W1:60.4 [48] There is nothing to fear. How safe the world will  look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything like what I
W1:60.4  How safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It will not  look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything
W1:60.6  As I forgive, His love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I  look upon the world with the vision He has given me, I remember that
W1:64.1  taking on a physical appearance. It is this which the body's eyes  look upon.
W1:64.11  At other times keep your eyes open after reviewing the thoughts and  look slowly and unselectively about you, telling yourself:
W1:65.14  close your eyes as you practice, and sometimes keep them open and  look about you. It is what you see now that will be totally changed
W1:69.1 No one can  look upon what your grievances conceal. Because your grievances are
W1:69.3  light in us and holding it up for everyone who searches with us to  look upon and rejoice.
W1:69.9  you are not searching for it alone and that you do know where to  look for it. Say, then:
W1:73.5  this world reflects your will, and so it must be in you that we will  look for it. Your picture of the world can only mirror what is
W1:73.5  darkness can be found without. Grievances darken your mind, and you  look out on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness,
W1:73.5  Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you  look upon a world of light.
W1:73.11  is now restored to his awareness. He is willing this very day to  look upon the light in him and be saved.
W1:75.7  concept you have made. You have forgiven the world today. You can  look upon it now as if you never saw it before. You do not know yet
W1:75.10  because you trust in Him. Tell yourself you wait in certainty to  look upon the world He promised you. From this time forth you will
W1:76.2  it. The idea for today tells you once again how simple is salvation.  Look for it where it waits for you, and there it will be found. Look
W1:76.2  Look for it where it waits for you, and there it will be found.  Look nowhere else, for it is nowhere else.
W1:78.2 Today we go beyond the grievances to  look upon the miracle instead. We will reverse the way you see by not
W1:78.4  God's Son. We will not let ourselves be blind to him; we will not  look upon our grievances. So is the seeing of the world reversed, as
W1:78.4  upon our grievances. So is the seeing of the world reversed, as we  look out toward truth, away from fear.
W1:78.5  used as target for your grievances and lay the grievances aside and  look at him. Someone perhaps you fear and even hate; someone you
W1:78.8  Him Who knows this Son of God in his reality and truth that we may  look on him a different way and see our savior shining in the light
W1:78.11 Be very quiet now and  look upon your shining savior. No dark grievances obscure the sight
W1:84.4 Let me not see an illusion of myself in this. As I  look on this, let me remember my Creator. My Creator did not create
W1:85.5  not left its Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. I will not  look for it outside myself. It is not found outside and then brought
W1:85.7 Let this not tempt me to  look away from me for my salvation. I will not let this interfere
W1:86.7 I am choosing between misperception and salvation as I  look on this. If I see grounds for grievances in this, I will not see
W1:87.2  be my guide today. I will follow it where it leads me, and I will  look only on what it shows me. This day I will experience the peace
W1:87.4  to see. You stand with me in light, [name]. In the light this will  look different.
W1:99.5  of your belief that time is real. Unshaken does the Holy Spirit  look on what you see—on sin and pain and death, on grief and
W1:99.10  them real by hiding them from Him. Let in the light, and you will  look upon no obstacle to what He wills for you. Open your secrets to
W1:100.7 You are God's messenger today. You bring His happiness to all you  look upon, His peace to everyone who looks on you and sees His
W1:100.9  it now. For this you came. Let this one be the day that you succeed!  Look deep within you, undismayed by all the little thoughts and
W1:100.10 He will be there. And you can reach Him now. What could you rather  look upon in place of Him Who waits that you may look on Him? What
W1:100.10  could you rather look upon in place of Him Who waits that you may  look on Him? What little thought has power to hold you back? What
W1:107.14 And yet you will be glad to  look again upon this world. For you will bring with you the promise
W1:109.1  dreams. We ask for safety and for happiness, although we seem to  look on danger and on sorrow. And we have the thought that will
W1:121.11 Now close your eyes and see him in your mind and  look at him a while. Try to perceive some light in him somewhere—a
W1:121.11  brightness shining through the ugly picture which you hold of him.  Look at this picture till you see a light somewhere within it, and
W1:121.12  Look at this changed perception for a while, and turn your mind to
W1:122.3  the veil be lifted up which hides the face of Christ from those who  look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. It lets you recognize the
W1:122.8 Open your eyes today, and  look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the
W1:124.4  minds contain His thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all we  look upon. Today we see only the loving and the lovable.
W1:124.10  in the glass this holy half an hour will hold out to you to  look upon yourself. When you are ready, you will find it there within
W1:124.11 Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will  look into this glass and understand the sinless light you see belongs
W1:124.11  the sinless light you see belongs to you, the loveliness you  look on is your own. Count this half hour as your gift to God, in
W1:129.5  stand an instant's space away from timelessness. Here can you but  look forward, never back to see again the world you do not want. Here
W1:130.1  see a world his mind has not accorded value. And no one can fail to  look upon what he believes he wants.
W1:130.10  tangible perception and in truth. You will not doubt what you will  look upon. For though it is perception, it is not the kind of seeing
W1:131.1  all about you while you seek for goals that cannot be achieved. You  look for permanence in the impermanent, for love where there is none,
W1:131.3  for nothingness, and while you seek for life you ask for death. You  look for safety and security while in your heart you pray for danger
W1:132.4  And what you behold upon it are your wishes, acted out so you can  look on them and think them real.
W1:132.14  briefly laid upon a dying world. Release your mind, and you will  look upon a world released.
W1:133.10  content to be deceived. Its goals are obvious to anyone who cares to  look for them. Here is deception doubled, for the one who is deceived
W1:134.3  truth and not illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain attempt to  look past what is there; to overlook the truth in an unfounded effort
W1:134.4 Because you think your sins are real, you  look on pardon as deception. For it is impossible to think of sin as
W1:135.11  truth. This is the body's only real defense. Yet is this where you  look for its defense? You offer it protection of a kind from which it
W1:137.4  been. Yet eyes accustomed to illusions must be shown that what they  look upon is false. So healing, never needed by the truth, must
W1:139.9 Fail not your brothers, or you fail yourself.  Look lovingly on them that they may know that they are part of you
W1:151.10  pain, disaster, suffering, and loss. He gives you vision which can  look beyond these grim appearances and can behold the gentle face of
W1:153.9 We  look past dreams today and recognize that we need no defense because
W1:153.21  need to give Him in return. You lay aside but what was never real to  look on Christ and see His sinlessness.
W1:155.3  today. The mad illusion will remain awhile in evidence for those to  look upon who chose to come and have not yet rejoiced to find they
W1:155.3  they need a teacher who perceives their madness, but who still can  look beyond illusion to the simple truth in them.
W1:155.6  they hear you speak of nor illusion which you bring their eyes to  look on and their minds to grasp. Now can the truth, which walks
W1:155.13 Your feet are safely set upon the way that leads the world to God.  Look not to ways which seem to lead you elsewhere. Dreams are not a
W1:157.5  from your fingertips to those you touch and blesses those you  look upon. A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think
W1:158.7 Christ's vision has one law. It does not  look upon a body and mistake it for the Son whom God created. It
W1:160.6  can he find? A stranger to himself can find no home wherever he may  look, for he has made return impossible. His way is lost except a
W1:160.10  He has not forgotten you. But you will not remember Him until you  look on all as He does. Who denies his brother is denying Him and
W1:161.2  condition of the mind. But part of it is now unnatural. It does not  look on everything as one. It sees instead but fragments of the
W1:161.6  easily become fear's symbols. You have many times been urged to  look beyond the body, for its sight presents the symbol of love's
W1:162.2  to its call. And those who live and hear this sound will never  look on death.
W1:163.8  be illusion. This the stand we take today. And it is given us to  look past death and see the life beyond.
W1:163.9  Father, bless our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would  look upon the glorious reflection of Your love which shines in
W1:164.1  the only time there is. And so today, this instant, now, we come to  look upon what is forever there—not in our sight, but in the eyes
W1:166.5  with him, all unknown to him. He cannot lose them. But he will not  look at what is given him. He wanders on, aware of the futility he
W1:166.8  upon your shoulder and perceive His gentle hand directing you to  look upon your gifts. How could you then proclaim your poverty in
W1:166.14 Your sighs will now betray the hopes of those who  look to you for their release. Your tears are theirs. If you are
W1:169.13  it offers everyone. We do not ask for the unaskable. We do not  look beyond what grace can give. For this we can give in the grace
W1:170.8 Today we  look upon this cruel god dispassionately. And we note that though his
W1:170.12 The choice you make today is certain. For you  look for the last time upon this bit of carven stone you made and
W1:181.1  that he is limited by what you have perceived in him. You do not  look beyond his errors. Rather, they are magnified, becoming blocks
W1:181.5 We lay these pointless limitations by a little while. We do not  look to past beliefs, and what we will believe will not intrude upon
W1:181.5  upon us now. We enter in the time of practicing with one intent—to  look upon the sinlessness within. We recognize that we have lost this
W1:181.7 It is not this that I would  look upon. I trust my brothers, who are one with me.
W1:181.9 Nor do we ask for fantasies. For what we seek to  look upon is really there. And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we
W1:181.10  becomes the proof that we are sinless. And our love for everyone we  look upon attests to our remembrance of the holy Self Which knows no
W1:181.10  for this remembrance as we turn our minds to practicing today. We  look neither ahead nor backwards. We look straight into the present.
W1:181.10  minds to practicing today. We look neither ahead nor backwards. We  look straight into the present. And we give our trust to the
W1:185.2  said these words. But few indeed have meant them. You have but to  look upon the world you see around you to be sure how very few they
W1:185.10  uncertain in your purpose and unsure of what you wanted, where to  look for it, and where to turn for help in the attempt. Help has been

W1:187.9  altar, with the ones you offer him beside them. Who could fear to  look upon such lovely holiness? The great illusion of the fear of God
W1:187.9  of God diminishes to nothingness before the purity that you will  look on here. Be not afraid to look. The blessedness you will behold
W1:187.9  before the purity that you will look on here. Be not afraid to  look. The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of
W1:187.10  and give as we receive. The Name of God is on our lips. And as we  look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of
W1:187.11  God in everyone. We would not have it be withheld from anything we  look upon. And to ensure this holy sight is ours, we offer it to
W1:188.2  deny the presence of what he beholds in him? It is not difficult to  look within, for there all vision starts. There is no sight, be it of
W1:189.1  by the world. Yet you have eyes to see it. It is there for you to  look upon. It was not placed in you to be kept hidden from your
W1:189.4  and innocence they see surrounding them, the joy with which they  look out from the endless wells of joy within. What they have felt in
W1:189.4  the endless wells of joy within. What they have felt in them they  look upon and see its sure reflection everywhere.
W1:189.5  learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing: you will  look upon that which you feel within. If hatred finds a place within
W1:189.5  bony fingers. If you feel the Love of God within you, you  look out upon a world of mercy and of love.
W1:189.10  ways are not our own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we  look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no
W1:191.2  what you see? Deny your own Identity, and this is what remains. You  look on chaos and proclaim it as yourself. There is no sight that
W1:191.3  dust against the legions of your enemies. Deny your own Identity and  look on evil, sin, and death. And watch despair snatch from your
W1:191.9 And in that thought is everything you  look on wholly changed.
W1:191.12  is the light that saves the world. Do not withhold salvation longer.  Look about the world, and see the suffering there. Is not your heart
W1:192.6  intended for His holy Son. Only forgiveness can persuade the Son to  look again upon his holiness. With anger gone, you will indeed
W1:193.15  apart from healing. Let us give them all to Him Who knows the way to  look upon them so that they will disappear. Truth is His message;
W1:193.17  time. This is the lesson God would have you learn: there is a way to  look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him and to
W1:195.1 Gratitude is a lesson hard to learn for those who  look upon the world amiss. The most that they can do is see
W1:198.7  and to his Father. You may think They have accepted, but if you will  look again upon the place where you beheld Their blood, you will
W1:200.3  than to seek and seek and seek again for hell, when you have but to  look with open eyes to find that Heaven lies before you, through a
W1:200.7  as he looks on it, the world can but deceive? Yet can he learn to  look on it another way and find the peace of God.
W1:200.10  of hopelessness you sought before. Now are they underfoot. And you  look up and on toward Heaven, with the body's eyes but serving for an
W2:I.6  world of sorrow in exchange for its replacement given us by You. We  look not backward now. We look ahead and fix our eyes upon the
W2:I.6  for its replacement given us by You. We look not backward now. We  look ahead and fix our eyes upon the journey's end. Accept these
W2:223.2  of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We would  look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your
W2:229.1  I will turn away no longer from the holy face of Christ. And what I  look upon attests the truth of the Identity I sought to lose, but
W2:235.1 I need but  look upon all things that seem to hurt me and with perfect certainty
W2:240.1  that you have seen yourself as you could never be and therefore  look upon a world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is
W2:243.1  of judgment which I cannot make. Thus do I free myself and what I  look upon, to be in peace as God created us.
W2:247.1  simple truth and I am healed completely. Brother, come and let me  look on you. Your loveliness reflects my own. Your sinlessness is
W2:247.2 So would I  look on everyone today. My brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood
W2:254.2  words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and  look at them, and then we let them go. We do not want what they would
W2:260.1  arise again before Christ's vision, through which I would  look upon my brothers and myself today.
W2:262.1 Father, You have one Son. And it is he that I would  look upon today. He is Your one creation. Why should I perceive a
W2:263.1  Your Spirit entered into it; Your Love gave life to it. And would I  look upon what You created as if it could be made sinful? I would not
W2:263.2 And while we still remain outside the gate of Heaven, let us  look on all we see through holy vision and the eyes of Christ. Let
W2:264.1  place I see myself, and everywhere I go. You are in all the things I  look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my own.
W2:265.2 In quiet would I  look upon the world, which but reflects Your thoughts and mine as
W2:266.1  holy Voice to me. In them are You reflected, and in them does Christ  look back upon me from my Self. Let not Your Son forget Your holy
W2:266.2  the world with those who point to Him and given us the sight to  look on them?
W2:269.1  which You have chosen to become the way to show me my mistakes and  look beyond them. It is given me to find a new perception through the
W2:269.1  everyone shows me the face of Christ and teaches me that what I  look upon belongs to me, that nothing is except Your holy Son.
W2:269.2 Today our sight is blessed indeed. We share one vision as we  look upon the face of Him Whose Self is ours. We are one because of
W2:WIC.5  reached at last? So therefore let us seek to find Christ's face and  look on nothing else. As we behold His glory will we know we have no
W2:271.1 Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to  look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to
W2:271.1  witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. Today I choose to  look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God's Voice,
W2:271.2  memory to be restored to me. And this I choose to be what I would  look upon today.
W2:289.2 Father, let me not  look upon a past that is not there. For You have offered me Your own
W2:290.1 Unless I  look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. Eyes
W2:290.1  real an instant longer. This the day I seek my present happiness and  look on nothing else except the thing I seek.
W2:WIRW.3  lurks in anything it sees, for it is kind and only kindness does it  look upon.
W2:WIRW.5  instant is our goal, for it contains the memory of God. And as we  look upon a world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us and comes to
W2:291.1  name, both for myself and for the world as well. What loveliness we  look upon today! What holiness we see surrounding us! And it is given
W2:295.2  and thus allow the Holy Spirit's love to bless all things that I may  look upon, that His forgiving love may rest on me.
W2:301.2 God's world is happy. Those who  look on it can only add their joy to it and bless it as a cause of
W2:301.2  But we have learned the world we saw was false, and we will  look upon God's world today.
W2:302.1  see that darkness is our own imagining and light is there for us to  look upon. Christ's vision changes darkness into light, for fear must
W2:302.1  when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world today that I may  look upon its holiness and understand it but reflects my own.
W2:304.1  vision that I use. Perception is a mirror, not a fact. And what I  look on is my state of mind reflected outward. I would bless the
W2:304.1  the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will  look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me.
W2:309.1  change in this. For to deny my Father's Will is to deny my own. To  look within is but to find my will as God created it and as it is. I
W2:309.1  is but to find my will as God created it and as it is. I fear to  look within because I think I made another will which is not true and
W2:312.1  follows judgment. Having judged, you therefore see what you would  look upon. For vision merely serves to offer you what you would have.
W2:312.1  Holy Spirit's purpose as his goal for seeing. And he cannot fail to  look upon what Christ would have him see and share Christ's love for
W2:312.2 I have no purpose for today except to  look upon a liberated world, set free from all the judgments I have
W2:313.1  wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of Christ  look on a world forgiven. In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for
W2:313.1  perception come to me that I may waken from the dream of guilt and  look within upon my sinlessness which You have kept completely
W2:321.1  not understand what made me free nor what my freedom is nor where to  look to find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your
W2:331.2  shows us that God's Will is one and that we share it. Let us  look upon the holy sights forgiveness shows today that we may find
W2:335.1  to be impelled by outside happenings. I choose to see what I would  look upon, and this I see and only this. My brother's sinlessness
W2:335.1  I see and only this. My brother's sinlessness shows me that I would  look upon my own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my
W2:336.1  the truth. Its lilies shine into the mind and call it to return and  look within, to find what it has vainly sought without. For here and
W2:336.2  wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. Then let me, Father,  look within and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your
W2:WIM.3  is the home of miracles. The eyes of Christ deliver them to all they  look upon in mercy and in love. Perception stands corrected in His
W2:346.1  aside today. I do not seek the things of time, and so I will not  look upon them. What I seek today transcends all laws of time and
W2:WAI.3  is redeemed. And this, our gift, is therefore given us. We  look on everyone as brothers and perceive all things as kindly and as
W2:357.1  me patiently to hear Your Word and give as I receive. And as I  look upon Your Son today, I hear Your Voice instructing me to find

M:3.1 —to make of the relationship a holy relationship in which both can  look upon the Son of God as sinless. There is no one from whom a
M:4.1  surface traits of God's teachers are not at all alike. They do not  look alike to the body's eyes, they come from vastly different

M:11.4 Peace is impossible to those who  look on war. Peace is inevitable to those who offer peace. How
M:12.6 Oneness and sickness cannot co-exist. God's teachers choose to  look on dreams a while. It is a conscious choice. For they have
M:13.4  toys? Does one whose vision has already glimpsed the face of Christ  look back with longing on a slaughter house? No one who has escaped
M:17.4  not. It cannot be partially recognized. Who is unaware of truth must  look upon illusions.
M:17.9  nor protects. To see it and to recognize its thought system is to  look on nothing. Can nothing give rise to anger? Hardly so. Remember
M:19.4  attributing to God the lens of warped perception through which you  look. Now it belongs to Him and not to you. You are afraid of Him and

W1:70.10  eyes closed to reviewing some of the external places where you have  looked for salvation in the past—in other people, in possessions,
W1:78.11  for these quiet times today in which you laid your images aside and  looked upon the miracle of love the Holy Spirit showed you in their
W1:128.7  afterwards, you will not value anything you see as much as when you  looked at it before. Your whole perspective on the world will shift
W1:132.5  thoughts to give it meaning. Yet in truth you found exactly what you  looked for when you came. There is no world apart from what you wish,
W1:166.11  we cannot die. The wish for death is answered, and the sight that  looked upon it now has been replaced by vision which perceives that
W1:185.5  and who therefore seeks the means which bring illusions. He has  looked on them and found them wanting. Now he seeks to go beyond

M:2.3  made. What has been learned and understood and long ago passed by is  looked upon as a new thought, a fresh idea, a different approach.

Tx:9.14 Forgiveness through the Holy Spirit lies simply in  looking beyond error from the beginning and thus keeping it unreal
Tx:9.25  or like the theologian, by acknowledging darkness in yourself and  looking for a distant light to remove it while emphasizing the
Tx:9.39  of reality. Yet you cannot overlook it unless you are not  looking.
Tx:9.100  though, that to do this is blasphemy, for it means that you are  looking without love on God and His creation, from which He cannot be

Tx:10.40  way of knowledge? And how else can one dispel illusions except by  looking at them directly without protecting them? Be not afraid,
Tx:10.40  protecting them? Be not afraid, therefore, for what you will be  looking at is the source of fear, but you have surely learned by now

Tx:26.72  Belief in sin arouses fear and, like its cause, is looking forward,  looking back but overlooking what is here and now. Yet only here and
Tx:27.38  of view. All questions asked within this world are but a way of  looking, not a question asked. A question asked in hate cannot be
Tx:29.10  that you are free? Why would you not acclaim the truth, instead of  looking on it as an enemy? Why does an easy path, so clearly marked
Tx:29.10  follow? Is it not because you see it as the road to hell instead of  looking on it as a simple way, without a sacrifice or any loss, to
Tx:29.53  from all the misery the world reflects. This is the penalty for  looking not within for certainty and quiet calm which liberates you

W1:29.7  practice periods, repeat the idea for today at least once an hour,  looking slowly about you as you say the words unhurriedly to
W1:30.3  day. Whenever you have a moment or so, repeat it to yourself slowly,  looking about you and trying to realize that the idea applies to
W1:30.5  idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and  looking within rather than without. Today's idea applies equally to

W1:57.4 [33] There is another way of  looking at the world. Since the purpose of the world is not the one I
W1:57.4  world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another way of  looking at it. I see everything upside down, and my thoughts are the
W1:70.12  the clouds that surround the light, and it is in them you have been  looking for it. It is not there. It is past the clouds and in the

W1:75.4 Our longer practice periods will be devoted to  looking at the world which our forgiveness shows us. This is what we
W1:105.4 Accept God's peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of  looking at a gift. God's gifts will never lessen when they are given
W1:123.4  lift our hearts above despair and raise our thankful eyes, no longer  looking downward to the dust. We sing the song of thankfulness today

W1:196.3  And you will see within today's idea the light of resurrection,  looking past all thoughts of crucifixion and of death to thoughts of

looks (140)

Tx:2.49 The Spiritual eye literally cannot see error and merely  looks for Atonement. All the solutions which the physical eyes seek
Tx:2.49  physical eyes seek dissolve in its sight. The Spiritual eye, which  looks within, recognizes immediately that the altar has been defiled
Tx:2.67  eye is permitted to look upon the defilement of the altar, it also  looks immediately toward the Atonement.
Tx:3.33 The questioning mind perceives itself in time and therefore  looks for future answers. The unquestioning mind is closed because it
Tx:5.43  truth, but truth can still set you free. Look as the Holy Spirit  looks, and understand as He understands. His understanding looks back
Tx:5.43  Spirit looks, and understand as He understands. His understanding  looks back to God in remembrance of me. He is in Holy Communion
Tx:6.37  because what the Holy Spirit perceives is the same. Wherever He  looks He sees Himself, and because He is united, He offers the whole
Tx:9.40 It is perfectly obvious that if the Holy Spirit  looks with love on all He perceives, He looks with love on you. His
Tx:9.40  that if the Holy Spirit looks with love on all He perceives, He  looks with love on you. His evaluation of you is based on His
Tx:10.2  insane when it is stated with perfect honesty, but the ego never  looks upon what it does with perfect honesty. Yet that is its insane
Tx:10.39 No one can escape from illusions unless he  looks at them, for not looking is the way they are protected. There
Tx:10.56  do attest to its denial but hardly to what it has denied! The ego  looks straight at the Father and does not see Him, for it has denied
Tx:11.58  He is waiting to be seen, for He has never lost sight of you. He  looks quietly on the real world, which He would share with you
Tx:11.82  God's Son can be seen because his vision is shared. The Holy Spirit  looks upon him and sees nothing else in you. What is invisible to you
Tx:11.99  it simply through the calm recognition that it has never been. As He  looks upon the guiltless Son of God, he knows this is true. And being
Tx:12.42  this darkness and yet still within you is the vision of Christ, Who  looks on all in light. Your vision comes from fear, as His from love.
Tx:12.65  or flaw. Disturbance of his peace can never be. In perfect sanity he  looks on love, for it is all about him and within him. He must deny
Tx:12.65  the arms of love around him. And from this point of safety, he  looks quietly about him and recognizes that the world is one with him.
Tx:13.4  speaks of timelessness in time, and that is why Christ's vision  looks on everything with love. Yet even Christ's vision is not His
Tx:13.53  and so complex that you cannot see that it means nothing. He merely  looks at its foundation and dismisses it. But you, who cannot undo
Tx:16.7 The meaning of love is lost in any relationship which  looks to weakness and hopes to find love there. The power of love,
Tx:18.11  The universe within you stands with you, together. And Heaven  looks with love on what is joined in it, along with its Creator.
Tx:18.14  your wish unless you saw yourself as one with the ego, which always  looks upon itself and therefore on you as under attack and highly
Tx:18.77  tiny kingdom, a sorry king, a bitter ruler of all he surveys who  looks on nothing, yet who would still die to defend it? This little
Tx:18.90 This heavy-seeming barrier, this artificial floor which  looks like rock, is like a bank of low dark clouds that seems to be a

Tx:19.30  and as you shift to different aspects of the spiral, the line  looks different. Yet in your mind is One Who knows it is unbroken and

Tx:19.49  not exist. Fear looks on guilt with just the same devotion that love  looks on itself. And each has messengers which they send forth and
Tx:19.66 From your holy relationship truth proclaims the truth, and love  looks on itself. Salvation flows from deep within the home you
Tx:19.81  condemned, damned by its maker, and lamented by every mourner who  looks upon it as himself. You who believe you have condemned the Son
Tx:20.1  the symbol of the Son of God's forgiveness of himself; the sign he  looks upon himself as healed and whole.
Tx:20.9  gleaming in the gentle glow of peace that shines on everything He  looks upon and loves.
Tx:20.11  For what God gave the Holy Spirit, you have received. The Son of God  looks unto you for his release. For you have asked for and been given
Tx:20.13  the savior from illusions, and look on him with the new vision that  looks upon the lilies and brings you joy. We go beyond the veil of
Tx:20.21  The world the holy see is one with them, just as the world the ego  looks upon is like itself. The world the holy see is beautiful
Tx:20.44  the universe should offer it to him and know it rests in safety? He  looks upon himself not as his Father knows him. And yet it is
Tx:20.72  to it by His calm and certain sight. The end for everything He  looks upon is always sure. For it will meet His purpose, seen in
Tx:20.76 What has no meaning cannot be perceived. And meaning always  looks within to find itself and then looks out. All meaning that you
Tx:20.76  perceived. And meaning always looks within to find itself and then  looks out. All meaning that you give the world outside must thus
Tx:21.3  the world the sightless “see” must be imagined, for what it really  looks like is unknown to them. They must infer what could be seen
Tx:21.48  in both your sight. What it would keep apart has met and joined, and  looks upon the ego unafraid. Little children, innocent of sin, follow
Tx:21.60  or yourself as sinful and still perceive the other innocent. Who  looks upon himself as guilty and sees a sinless world? And who can
Tx:21.87  creation. Sure in its vision as its Creator is in what He knows, it  looks on everything and sees it is the same. It sees not the
Tx:22.3  these selves, for differences are only of the body. Therefore, he  looks on nothing he would take. He denies not his own reality,
Tx:22.20  can be attained, then the belief in sin must be eternal. Yet reason  looks on this another way, for reason sees the source of an idea as
Tx:22.30  leads to its fixed belief in sin and disregard of errors. It  looks on nothing that can be corrected. Thus does the ego damn and
Tx:22.31  gate, locked and without a key, across the road to peace. No one who  looks on it without the help of reason would try to pass it. The
Tx:22.41  open now for you, will you now open to the sorrowful. And none who  looks upon the Christ in you but will rejoice. How beautiful the
Tx:22.49  solidity, and firmness of foundation. Yes, to the body's eyes it  looks like an enormous solid body, immovable as is a mountain. Yet
Tx:22.55  The form of error is no longer seen, and reason, joined with love,  looks quietly on all confusion, observing merely, “This was a
Tx:23.3  innocence. And every error disappeared because they saw it not. Who  looks for glory finds it where it is. Where could it be but in the
Tx:24.12  in sight all lacks it can perceive. This does it seek, and this it  looks upon. And always whom it thus diminishes would be your savior,
Tx:24.23  to giver and receiver. Not one glance from eyes it veils but  looks on sight of death. Not one believer in its potency but seeks
Tx:24.40 The Christ in you is very still. He  looks on what He loves and knows it as Himself. And thus does He
Tx:24.42 Where could your peace arise but from forgiveness? The Christ in you  looks only on the truth and sees no condemnation that could need
Tx:24.43  sin its eyes behold in him and love to look upon, it saw in you and  looks on still with joy. Yet is it joy to look upon decay and madness
Tx:24.53  for holiness is quite impartial, with one judgment made for all it  looks upon. And that is made, not of itself, but through the Voice
Tx:24.56  of you. The Christ in you beholds his holiness. Your specialness  looks on his body and beholds him not.
Tx:24.70  you will see a body. Look at this body in a different light, and it  looks different. And without a light, it seems that it is gone. Yet
Tx:25.7  and so complete it wishes only that it may release all that it  looks upon unto itself. Its radiance shines through each body that it
Tx:25.7  upon unto itself. Its radiance shines through each body that it  looks upon and brushes all its darkness into light merely by looking
Tx:25.19  him what he sees not. And in this seeing is the vision shared that  looks on Christ instead of seeing death.
Tx:25.43  no one who is different from himself. And as he loves them, so he  looks upon himself with love and gentleness. He would no more condemn
Tx:25.43  with what God wills, he has the power to heal and bless all those he  looks on with the grace of God upon his sight.
Tx:25.66  who know not of justice still can ask and learn the answer. Justice  looks on all in the same way. It is not just that one should lack for
Tx:25.74  pays the cost of sin, so it be paid, the Holy Spirit heeds not who  looks on innocence at last, provided it is seen and recognized. For
Tx:26.2  joining. Around each entity is built a wall so seeming solid that it  looks as if what is inside can never reach without, and what is out
Tx:26.53  to make it true. Illusions have no witnesses and no effects. Who  looks on them is but deceived. Forgiveness is the only function here

Tx:29.10  instead of looking on it as a simple way, without a sacrifice or any  loss, to find yourself in Heaven and in God? Until you realize you
Tx:29.10  you realize you give up nothing, until you understand there is no  loss, you will have some regrets about the way that you have chosen.

Tx:29.46  sacrifice is to give up and thus to be without and to have suffered  loss. And by this giving up is life renounced. Seek not outside
Tx:29.50  where He is, no idols can abide. The fear of God is but the fear of  loss of idols. It is not the fear of loss of your reality. But you
Tx:29.50  fear of God is but the fear of loss of idols. It is not the fear of  loss of your reality. But you have made of your reality an idol which

Tx:30.83  thus you judge disaster and success, advance, retreat, and gain and  loss. These judgments all are made according to the roles the script
Tx:30.87  the sacrifice of meaning is undone. All sacrifice entails the  loss of your ability to see relationships among events. And looked at
Tx:30.87  no purpose. And what they are for cannot be seen. In any thought of  loss, there is no meaning. No one has agreed with you on what it
Tx:30.90  from disaster of all kinds. The miracle is proof he is not bound by  loss or suffering in any form because it can so easily be changed.
Tx:31.50  would be asked to make exchange of what you now believe for total  loss of self, and greater terror would arise in you.
Tx:31.55  the choice by your decision. But this gain is paid in almost equal  loss, for now you stand accused of guilt for what your brother is.
Tx:31.63  appears and disappears in death; that one is doomed to suffering and  loss. And no one is exactly as he was an instant previous, nor will
Tx:31.92  you behold as sickness and as pain, as weakness and as suffering and  loss is but temptation to perceive yourself defenseless and in hell.
W1:27.4 If fear of  loss still persists, add further:
W1:38.4  today, close your eyes, and then search your mind for any sense of  loss or unhappiness of any kind as you see it. Try to make as little
W1:41.1  a deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering, and intense fear of  loss. The separated ones have invented many “cures” for what they

W1:44.5  is the release from hell. Perceived through the ego's eyes, it is  loss of identity and a descent into hell.
W1:53.6  I am. The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and  loss and death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of
W1:54.6  replace fear, laughter to replace weeping, and abundance to replace  loss. I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my
W1:56.2  who I am when I see myself as under constant attack? Pain, illness,  loss, age, and death seem to threaten me. All my hopes and wishes and
W1:58.6  are mine because God intended them for me. I cannot suffer any  loss or deprivation or pain because of who I am. My Father supports
W1:76.10  the truth to you. You will be listening to One Who says there is no  loss under the laws of God. Payment is neither given nor received.
W1:84.2  in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot suffer, I cannot experience  loss, and I cannot die. I am not a body. I would recognize my reality
W1:94.5  This is the Self which knows no fear nor could conceive of  loss or suffering or death.
W1:99.5  you see—on sin and pain and death, on grief and separation, and on  loss. Yet does He know one thing must still be true—God still is
W1:105.1  the giver loses as he gives the gift; the taker is the richer by his  loss. These are not gifts, but bargains made with guilt.
W1:105.2 The truly given gift entails no  loss. It is impossible that one can gain because another loses. This
W1:105.6  completes Him must complete His Son as well. He cannot give through  loss. No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace today, and
W1:109.3  will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past  loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God. There is no
W1:129.2  about the value of this world. Perhaps you will concede there is no  loss in letting go all thought of value here. The world you see is
W1:129.3 Is it a  loss to find a world instead where losing is impossible, where love
W1:129.3  forever, hate cannot exist, and vengeance has no meaning? Is it  loss to find all things you really want and know they have no ending,
W1:129.6 Such is the choice. What  loss can be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This world
W1:129.10  thanks. This day we realize that what you feared to lose was only  loss.
W1:129.11 Now do we understand there is no  loss, for we have seen its opposite at last, and we are grateful that
W1:133.8  are there. Who seeks to take away has been deceived by the illusion  loss can offer gain. Yet loss must offer loss and nothing more.

W1:155.4  chosen nothing but the world, and they have suffered from a sense of  loss still deeper, which they did not understand.
W1:155.5 Between these paths there is another road that leads away from  loss of every kind, for sacrifice and deprivation both are quickly

Tx:2.17  reality, you are perfectly unaffected by all expressions of lack of  love. These can be either from yourself and others or from yourself
Tx:2.17  health is inner peace. It enables you to remain unshaken by lack of  love from without and capable through your own miracles of correcting
Tx:2.17  of correcting the external conditions which proceed from lack of  love in others.

Tx:2.98  mastered. The essential resolution rests entirely on the mastery of  love. In the interim, the sense of conflict is inevitable since man

Tx:2.110 At this point, the will can begin to look with  love on its own creations because of their great worthiness. The mind
Tx:3.30  of the space-time belief and is therefore subject to fear or  love. Misperceptions produce fear, and true perceptions produce love.
Tx:3.30  or love. Misperceptions produce fear, and true perceptions produce  love. Neither produces certainty, because all perception varies. That
Tx:3.35  “know yourself” or be certain. Certainty is always of God. When you  love someone, you have perceived him as he is, and this makes it
Tx:4.19  doubt, beyond perception, and stand forever as the mark of the  Love of God for His creations, who are wholly worthy of Him and only
Tx:4.27 You forget the  love that animals have for their own offspring and the need they feel
Tx:4.27  himself. Man reacts to his ego much as God does to His Souls: with  love, protection, and great charity. The reaction of man to the self
Tx:4.47  well as the call of the body. That is why the basic conflict between  love and fear is unconscious; the ego cannot tolerate either and
Tx:4.49  with your egos cannot believe that God loves you. You do not  love what you have made, and what you made does not love you. Being
Tx:4.49  you. You do not love what you have made, and what you made does not  love you. Being made out of the denial of the Father, the ego has no
Tx:4.49  own idea of yourself the will to separate, which conflicts with the  love you feel for what you made because you made it. No human love is
Tx:4.49  the love you feel for what you made because you made it. No human  love is without this ambivalence, and since no ego has experienced
Tx:4.49  love is without this ambivalence, and since no ego has experienced  love without ambivalence, the concept is beyond its understanding.
Tx:4.50  Love will enter immediately into any mind which truly wants it, but
Tx:4.51  Let us ask the Father in my name to keep you mindful of His  love for you and yours for Him. He has never failed to answer this
Tx:4.52  me to do so. I can help you only as our Father created us. I will  love you and honor you and maintain complete respect for what you
Tx:4.52  respect for what you have made, but I will neither honor it nor  love it unless it is true.
Tx:4.53  wait as long as you choose to forsake yourself. Because I wait in  love and not in impatience, you will surely ask me truly. I will come
Tx:4.64  found wanting there. Without your own allegiance, protection, and  love, it cannot exist. Judge your ego truly, and you must withdraw
Tx:4.64  your ego truly, and you must withdraw allegiance, protection, and  love from it.
Tx:4.68  I know that miracles are natural because they are expressions of  love. My calling you is as natural as your answer and as inevitable.
Tx:4.90  makes all men your brothers because they are all of your Father.  Love does not conquer all things, but it does set all things right.
Tx:4.91  ready to hear God as you hear them. That is because the function of  love is one.
Tx:4.100  experience of His Son's experience. The constant going out of His  love is blocked when His channels are closed, and He is lonely when
Tx:5.2  whole-heartedly. To be whole-hearted, you must be happy. If fear and  love cannot coexist and if it is impossible to be wholly fearful and
Tx:5.2  and remain alive, then the only possible whole state is that of  love. There is no difference between love and joy. Therefore, the
Tx:5.2  possible whole state is that of love. There is no difference between  love and joy. Therefore, the only possible whole state is the wholly
Tx:5.3  to hold it by sharing it. It is impossible for a Child of God to  love his neighbor except as himself. That is why the healer's prayer
Tx:5.15  not obstruct it in any way. [Third, it is an unequivocal call to  love. Every other voice is still.]
Tx:5.64 The ego does not perceive sin as a lack of  love. It perceives sin as a positive act of assault. This is an
Tx:5.72  you will simultaneously exchange guilt for joy, viciousness for  love, and pain for peace. My role is only to unchain your will and
Tx:5.81  is exchanged for eternity. Infinite patience calls upon infinite  love, and by producing results now, it renders time unnecessary.
Tx:5.94  are not wholly joyous it is because you have reacted with a lack of  love to some Soul which God created. Perceiving this as “sin,” you
Tx:6.1  conclusion that a brother is worthy of attack rather than of  love follows. What can be expected from insane premises except an
Tx:6.12  altar is what makes it a church. Any church which does not inspire  love has a hidden altar which is not serving the purpose for which
Tx:6.18 Teach only  love, for that is what you are.
Tx:6.19  reason that makes anyone misunderstand anything. Their own imperfect  love made them vulnerable to projection, and out of their own fear
Tx:6.20  in the New Testament, whose whole gospel is only the message of  love. These are not like the several slips into impatience which I
Tx:6.24 You cannot  love what you do not appreciate, and fear makes appreciation
Tx:6.29  thus strengthening it in both. Instead of anger, this arouses  love for both because it establishes inclusion. Perceiving equality,
Tx:6.41  learn only from the Holy Spirit and teach only by Him. You are only  love, but when you denied this, you made what you are something you
Tx:6.41  We said before that the message of the crucifixion was, “Teach only  love, for that is what you are.” This is the one lesson which is
Tx:6.44  is learning. Everything you teach, you are learning. Teach only  love, and learn that love is yours and you are love.
Tx:6.44  you teach, you are learning. Teach only love, and learn that  love is yours and you are love.
Tx:6.44  learning. Teach only love, and learn that love is yours and you are  love.
Tx:6.46  attack within the Kingdom is impossible. You made the ego without  love, and so it does not love you. You could not remain within the
Tx:6.46  is impossible. You made the ego without love, and so it does not  love you. You could not remain within the Kingdom without love, and
Tx:6.46  does not love you. You could not remain within the Kingdom without  love, and since the Kingdom is love, you believe that you are without
Tx:6.46  not remain within the Kingdom without love, and since the Kingdom is  love, you believe that you are without it. This enables the ego to
Tx:6.65  sharing, it becomes communion. You might argue that fear as well as  love can be communicated and therefore can be shared. Yet this is not

Tx:7.3  of God, as your sons are part of His Sons. To create is to love.  Love extends outward simply because it cannot be contained. Being
Tx:7.5 I gave only  love to the Kingdom because I believed that was what I was. What you
Tx:7.6  of what you are and to create like Him is to share the perfect  love He shares with you. To this the Holy Spirit leads you that your
Tx:7.19  difficulty in miracles, because they are all maximal expressions of  love. This has no range at all. The non-maximal only appears to have
Tx:7.38  Spirit in both of you, because it is a refusal to acknowledge fear.  Love needs only this invitation. It comes freely to all the Sonship,
Tx:7.45  Love is incapable of any exceptions. Only if there is fear does the
Tx:7.49  an idol which you may worship out of fear but which you will never  love. The other shows you only truth, which you will love, because
Tx:7.49  you will never love. The other shows you only truth, which you will  love, because you will understand it. Understanding is appreciation,
Tx:7.49  with, and by making it part of you, you have accepted it with  love.
Tx:7.50  God Himself created you—in understanding, in appreciation, and in  love. The ego is totally unable to understand this, because it does
Tx:7.50  understand what it makes; it does not appreciate it; and it does not  love it. It incorporates to take away. It literally believes that
Tx:7.53  everyone and, by bringing it to your appreciation, calls upon you to  love God and His creations. You can appreciate the Sonship only as
Tx:7.54 Although you can  love the Sonship only as one, you can perceive it as fragmented. It
Tx:7.54  not relinquished entirely, it is not relinquished at all. Fear and  love are equally reciprocal. They make or create, depending on
Tx:7.54  fearfully. He will appreciate all of them if he regards them with  love.
Tx:7.55 The mind that accepts attack cannot  love. That is because it believes that it can destroy love and
Tx:7.55  attack cannot love. That is because it believes that it can destroy  love and therefore does not understand what love is. If it does not
Tx:7.55  that it can destroy love and therefore does not understand what  love is. If it does not understand what love is, it cannot perceive
Tx:7.55  does not understand what love is. If it does not understand what  love is, it cannot perceive itself as loving. This loses the
Tx:7.57  in totality. This unbelief is its origin and, while the ego does not  love you, it is faithful to its own antecedents, begetting as it was
Tx:7.58  This is its allegiance, and this allegiance makes it treacherous to  love, because you are love. Love is your power, which the ego must
Tx:7.58  and this allegiance makes it treacherous to love, because you are  love. Love is your power, which the ego must deny. It must also deny
Tx:7.58  this allegiance makes it treacherous to love, because you are love.  Love is your power, which the ego must deny. It must also deny
Tx:7.60  said that understanding brings appreciation, and appreciation brings  love. Nothing else can be understood, because nothing else is real,
Tx:7.70  you will feel deprived. This is because denial is as total as  love. It is as impossible to deny part of the Sonship as it is to
Tx:7.70  as love. It is as impossible to deny part of the Sonship as it is to  love it in part. Nor is it possible to love it totally at times. You
Tx:7.70  of the Sonship as it is to love it in part. Nor is it possible to  love it totally at times. You cannot be totally committed sometimes.
Tx:7.73  of yourselves is deprived, unloving, and very vulnerable. You cannot  love this. Yet you can very easily escape from it or, better, leave
Tx:7.76  be apart from them, because you are not apart from Him. Rest in His  love and protect your rest by loving. But love everything He created
Tx:7.76  from Him. Rest in His love and protect your rest by loving. But  love everything He created of which you are a part, or you cannot
Tx:7.80  and you will attack, believing you have been attacked. But see the  love of God in you, and you will see it everywhere, because it is
Tx:7.82  anger, but it is also true that without projection there can be no  love. Projection is a fundamental law of the mind and therefore one
Tx:7.106  lesson in what joy is. Being a lesson in sharing, it is a lesson in  love, which is joy. Every miracle is thus a lesson in truth, and by
Tx:7.109  to be a home for a Child of God? Does it protect his peace and shine  love upon him? Does it keep his heart untouched by fear and allow him
Tx:7.110 You who could give the  love of God to everything you see and touch and remember are
Tx:8.14  power and glory lie within it. It is boundless in strength and in  love and in peace. It has no boundaries because its extension is
Tx:8.28  must despise and reject me, because the world is the belief that  love is impossible. Your reactions to me are the reactions of the
Tx:8.34  of what they are and what He is. Freedom is creation, because it is  love. What you seek to imprison you do not love. Therefore, when you
Tx:8.34  creation, because it is love. What you seek to imprison you do not  love. Therefore, when you seek to imprison anyone, including
Tx:8.34  when you seek to imprison anyone, including yourself, you do not  love him, and you cannot identify with him. When you imprison
Tx:8.37  you learn that there is no separation of your will and mine. Let the  love of God shine upon you by your acceptance of me. My reality is
Tx:8.45  of God and those which are created like His? Your creations  love you as your Soul loves your Father for the gift of creation.
Tx:8.50  and therefore as holy as He is. Through our creations, we extend our  love and thus increase the joy of the Holy Trinity. You do not
Tx:8.84  substitution of the will to wake. The will to wake is the will to  love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love. The Holy
Tx:8.84  is the will to love, since all healing involves replacing fear with  love. The Holy Spirit cannot distinguish among degrees of error, for
Tx:8.86  to be entirely literal about fear and its effects but not about  love and its results. Thus, “hellfire” means “burning,” but raising
Tx:8.86  Actually, it is particularly the references to the outcomes of  love which should be taken literally because the Bible is about love,
Tx:8.86  of love which should be taken literally because the Bible is about  love, being about God.
Tx:8.87  name of God's Son is one, and you are enjoined to do the works of  love, because we share this oneness. Our minds are whole because they
Tx:8.99  cannot be real without a cause, and God is the only Cause. God is  Love, and you do want Him. This is your will. Ask for this and you
Tx:8.102 The fact that God is  love does not require belief, but it does require acceptance. It is
Tx:8.102  see because you are interfering with the laws of seeing. If you deny  love, you will not know it because your cooperation is the law of its
Tx:8.113 I  love you for the truth in you, as God does. Your deceptions may
Tx:9.7  errors are forgiven with yours. Atonement is no more separate than  love. Atonement cannot be separate, because it comes from love. Any
Tx:9.7  than love. Atonement cannot be separate, because it comes from  love. Any attempt you make to correct a brother means that you
Tx:9.40 It is perfectly obvious that if the Holy Spirit looks with  love on all He perceives, He looks with love on you. His evaluation
Tx:9.40  the Holy Spirit looks with love on all He perceives, He looks with  love on you. His evaluation of you is based on His knowledge of what
Tx:9.40  is the exact opposite of the Holy Spirit's, because the ego does not  love you. It is unaware of what you are and wholly mistrustful of
Tx:9.52  of attack, but your grandeur is of God, Who created it out of His  Love. From your grandeur you can only bless, because your grandeur is
Tx:9.55 It is easy to distinguish grandeur from grandiosity because  love is returned, but pride is not. Pride will not produce miracles
Tx:9.61  be like Him. That is why your will is holy. Can anything exceed the  love of God? Can anything, then, exceed your will? Nothing can reach
Tx:9.64  that it is as impossible for God. The law of creation is that you  love your creations as yourself because they are part of you.
Tx:9.64  therefore perfectly safe, because the laws of God protect it by His  Love. Any part of your mind that does not know this has banished
Tx:9.74 You have not attacked God, and you do  love Him. Can you change your reality? No one can will to destroy
Tx:9.76  a Son of God can be sick is to believe that part of God can suffer.  Love cannot suffer, because it cannot attack. The remembrance of love
Tx:9.76  Love cannot suffer, because it cannot attack. The remembrance of  love therefore brings invulnerability with it.
Tx:9.77  believes in it, for your acceptance of God in him acknowledges the  love of God which he has forgotten. Your recognition of him as part
Tx:9.77  Son of God is sick is to worship the same idol he does. God created  love, not idolatry. All forms of idolatry are caricatures of
Tx:9.79  value in Heaven. It is not my merit that I contribute to you but my  love, for you do not value yourselves. When you do not value
Tx:9.83  them either, for nothing cannot be fearful. You have chosen to fear  love because of its perfect harmlessness, and because of this fear,
Tx:9.98  Him because you loved Him, knowing that if you recognized your  love for Him, you could not deny Him. Your denial of Him therefore
Tx:9.98  you could not deny Him. Your denial of Him therefore means that you  love Him and that you know He loves you. Remember that what you deny,
Tx:9.99  His. He calls to you from every part of the Sonship because of His  love for His Son. If you hear His message, He has answered you, and
Tx:9.99  has answered you, and you will learn of Him if you hear aright. The  love of God is in everything He created, for His Son is everywhere.
Tx:9.100 Do not look to the god of sickness for healing but only to the God of  love, for healing is the acknowledgment of Him. When you acknowledge
Tx:9.100  to do this is blasphemy, for it means that you are looking without  love on God and His creation, from which He cannot be separated. Only
Tx:9.100  which He cannot be separated. Only the eternal can be loved, for  love does not die. What is of God is His forever, and you are of God.
Tx:9.102  realize how much you have denied yourself, and how much God in His  love would not have it so. Yet He would not interfere with you,
Tx:9.102  Would you have Him share your insanity? God will never cease to  love His Son, and His Son will never cease to love Him. That was the
Tx:9.102  will never cease to love His Son, and His Son will never cease to  love Him. That was the condition of His Son's creation, fixed forever
Tx:9.106  is why to deny Him is to deny yourself. Arrogance is the denial of  love, because love shares and arrogance withholds. As long as both
Tx:9.106  Him is to deny yourself. Arrogance is the denial of love, because  love shares and arrogance withholds. As long as both appear to you to
Tx:10.4  Who hath need of you as I have. Will you not answer the call of  love with joy?
Tx:10.9  as His Son, for yours were created in honor of Him. The universe of  love does not stop because you do not see it, and your closed eyes
Tx:10.10  increased, and everything He creates has the function of creating.  Love does not limit, and what it creates is not limited. To give
Tx:10.10  you the joy which is His and which He wills to share with you. Your  love is as boundless as His because it is His.
Tx:10.11 Could any part of God be without His  love and could any part of His love be contained? God is your
Tx:10.11 Could any part of God be without His love and could any part of His  love be contained? God is your heritage because His one gift is
Tx:10.18 And denial is as total as  love. You cannot deny part of yourself because the remainder will
Tx:10.31  lost because you are looking on what God created as yourself without  love. And since what He created is part of Him, you are denying Him
Tx:10.36  you to be unable to enter the place where God would have you be. But  love yourself with the love of Christ, for so does your Father love
Tx:10.36  the place where God would have you be. But love yourself with the  love of Christ, for so does your Father love you. You can refuse to
Tx:10.36  But love yourself with the love of Christ, for so does your Father  love you. You can refuse to enter, but you cannot bar the door which
Tx:10.37  Creator and shines with His glory. Christ is the extension of the  love and the loveliness of God, as perfect as his Creator and at
Tx:10.38  Son, for there is no condemnation in the Father. Sharing the perfect  love of the Father, the Son must share what belongs to Him, for
Tx:10.49  is the cost, and the ego cannot minimize it. For if you overlook  love, you are overlooking yourself, and you must fear unreality
Tx:10.52  not accept it. For only the insane would choose fear in place of  love, and only the insane could believe that love can be gained by
Tx:10.52  choose fear in place of love, and only the insane could believe that  love can be gained by attack. But the sane know that only attack
Tx:10.52  But the sane know that only attack could produce fear from which the  love of God completely protects them.
Tx:10.65  hands of God's Son and taken the last thorn from his forehead. The  love of God surrounds His Son, whom the god of the crucifixion
Tx:10.86  the real world as you share Heaven, and his healing is yours. To  love yourself is to heal yourself, and you cannot perceive part of
Tx:10.86  your own goal. Brother, we heal together as we live together and  love together. Be not deceived in God's Son, for he is one with
Tx:10.86  in God's Son, for he is one with himself and one with his Father.  Love him who is beloved of His Father, and you will learn of the
Tx:10.86  him who is beloved of His Father, and you will learn of the Father's  love for you.
Tx:11.6  thoughts and his appeals for help, for both are capable of bringing  love into your awareness if you perceive them truly. And all your
Tx:11.10  ultimate value to you in learning to perceive attack as a call for  love. We have learned surely that fear and attack are inevitably
Tx:11.10  is, the unreality of fear must dawn upon you. For fear is a call for  love in unconscious recognition of what has been denied.
Tx:11.11  for removing it and have demonstrated this by giving it. Fear and  love are the only emotions of which you are capable. One is false,
Tx:11.12  fear becomes meaningless. You have denied its power to conceal  love, which was its only purpose. The mask which you have drawn
Tx:11.12  its only purpose. The mask which you have drawn across the face of  love has disappeared.
Tx:11.13 If you would look upon  love, which is the world's reality, how could you do better than to
Tx:11.13  truth cannot be denied. Thus does the Holy Spirit replace fear with  love and translate error into truth. And thus will you learn of Him
Tx:11.14 Miracles are merely the translation of denial into truth. If to  love oneself is to heal oneself, those who are sick do not love
Tx:11.14  If to love oneself is to heal oneself, those who are sick do not  love themselves. Therefore, they are asking for the love that would
Tx:11.14  are sick do not love themselves. Therefore, they are asking for the  love that would heal them but which they are denying to themselves.
Tx:11.16 Perceive in sickness but another call for  love and offer your brother what he believes he cannot offer himself.
Tx:11.16  the appeal for health is to recognize in hatred the call for  love. And to give a brother what he really wants is to offer it unto
Tx:11.16  wills you to know your brother as yourself. Answer his call for  love and yours is answered. Healing is the love of Christ for His
Tx:11.16  Answer his call for love and yours is answered. Healing is the  love of Christ for His Father and for Himself.
Tx:11.18  you, for the goal is inevitable because it is eternal. The goal of  love is but your right, and it belongs to you despite your preference.
Tx:11.19  for you must be yours. Do not let your hatred stand in the way of  love, for nothing can withstand the love of Christ for His Father or
Tx:11.19  your hatred stand in the way of love, for nothing can withstand the  love of Christ for His Father or His Father's love for Him.
Tx:11.19  can withstand the love of Christ for His Father or His Father's  love for Him.
Tx:11.21 There is no fear in perfect  love. We will but be making perfect to you what is already perfect in
Tx:11.22 You who have tried to banish  love have not succeeded, but you who choose to banish fear will
Tx:11.28  can be saved and the only way to save it. Any response other than  love arises from a confusion about the “what” and the “how” of
Tx:11.32  loved the world that He gave it to His only-begotten Son. God does  love the real world, and those who perceive its reality cannot see
Tx:11.36 The ego is certain that  love is dangerous, and this is always its central teaching. It never
Tx:11.36  that the ego is salvation is intensely engaged in the search for  love. Yet the ego, though encouraging the search very actively, makes
Tx:11.37  journey which must end in perceived self-defeat. For the ego cannot  love, and in its frantic search for love, it is seeking what it is
Tx:11.37  self-defeat. For the ego cannot love, and in its frantic search for  love, it is seeking what it is afraid to find. The search is
Tx:11.38  no one wants to find what would utterly defeat him. Being unable to  love, the ego would be totally inadequate in love's presence, for it
Tx:11.38  you the response pattern you need. The ego will therefore distort  love and teach you that love calls forth the responses which the ego
Tx:11.38  you need. The ego will therefore distort love and teach you that  love calls forth the responses which the ego can teach. Follow its
Tx:11.38  ego can teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you will search for  love but will not recognize it.
Tx:11.39  you. For He will never deceive God's Son, whom He loves with the  love of the Father.
Tx:11.43 Only  love is strong because it is undivided. The strong do not attack
Tx:11.46 The Holy Spirit's  love is your strength, for yours is divided and therefore not real.
Tx:11.46  is divided and therefore not real. You could not trust your own  love when you have attacked it. You cannot learn of perfect love with
Tx:11.46  your own love when you have attacked it. You cannot learn of perfect  love with a split mind because a split mind has made itself a poor
Tx:11.48 You do not know the meaning of  love, and that is your handicap. Do not attempt to teach yourselves
Tx:11.50 This kind of “learning” has so weakened your mind that you cannot  love, for the curriculum you have chosen is against love and amounts
Tx:11.50  that you cannot love, for the curriculum you have chosen is against  love and amounts to a course in how to attack yourself. A necessary
Tx:11.55  only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look upon with  love. This gives it the only reality it will ever have. Its value is
Tx:11.56  Christ's eyes are open, and He will look upon whatever you see with  love if you accept His vision as yours.
Tx:11.58  which He would share with you because He knows of the Father's  love for Him. And knowing this, He would give you what is yours. In
Tx:11.58  He waits for you at His Father's altar, holding out the Father's  love to you in the quiet light of the Holy Spirit's blessing. For the
Tx:11.59  Christ, for his Being is in Christ as Christ's is in God. Christ's  love for you is His love for His Father, which He knows because He
Tx:11.59  is in Christ as Christ's is in God. Christ's love for you is His  love for His Father, which He knows because He knows His Father's
Tx:11.59  love for His Father, which He knows because He knows His Father's  love for Him. When the Holy Spirit has at last led you to Christ at
Tx:11.59  holy that its transfer to holiness is merely its natural extension.  Love transfers to love without any interference, for the situations
Tx:11.59  to holiness is merely its natural extension. Love transfers to  love without any interference, for the situations are identical.

Tx:11.66  find. The ego finds what it seeks and only that. It does not find  love, for that is not what it is seeking. Yet seeking and finding are
Tx:11.69 When you want only  love you will see nothing else. The contradictory nature of the
Tx:11.69  decision about reality, returning to you the message you gave them.  Love is recognized by its messengers. If you make love manifest, its
Tx:11.69  you gave them. Love is recognized by its messengers. If you make  love manifest, its messengers will come to you because you invited
Tx:11.70  is only what you gave it. You cannot really give anything but  love to anyone or anything, nor can you really receive anything else
Tx:11.77  and yet you are surprised that you cannot see it. If you seek  love in order to attack it, you will never find it. For if love is
Tx:11.77  you seek love in order to attack it, you will never find it. For if  love is sharing, how can you find it except through itself? Offer it
Tx:11.78  the Son knows his Father's protection and cannot fear. His Father's  love holds him in perfect peace, and needing nothing, he asks for
Tx:11.80 Because of your Father's  love you can never forget Him, for no one can forget what God Himself
Tx:11.83  God did not give you has no power over you, and the attraction of  love for love remains irresistible. For it is the function of love to
Tx:11.83  not give you has no power over you, and the attraction of love for  love remains irresistible. For it is the function of love to unite
Tx:11.83  of love for love remains irresistible. For it is the function of  love to unite all things unto itself, and to hold all things together
Tx:11.84  the way back to what was never lost. Your Father could not cease to  love His Son.
Tx:11.85  of attack. It is the judgment of one mind by another as unworthy of  love and deserving of punishment. But herein lies the split. For the
Tx:11.86  brain, and its powers decline if their bodies are hurt. They seem to  love, yet they desert and are deserted. They appear to lose what they
Tx:11.86  yet they desert and are deserted. They appear to lose what they  love, perhaps the most insane belief of all. And their bodies wither
Tx:11.87  his children to this as the price of salvation and be loving.  Love does not kill to save. If it did, attack would be salvation, and
Tx:11.88  the eternal fact that God's Son is not guilty. He deserves only  love because he has given only love. He cannot be condemned because
Tx:11.88  Son is not guilty. He deserves only love because he has given only  love. He cannot be condemned because he has never condemned. The
Tx:11.89  they know. The Holy Spirit wills only this, for sharing the Father's  love for His Son, He wills to remove all guilt from his mind that he
Tx:11.89  are antithetical, and the Father can be remembered only in peace.  Love and guilt cannot coexist, and to accept one is to deny the
Tx:11.94  condition of his Being, which is his perfect blamelessness. Out of  love he was created, and in love he abides. Goodness and mercy have
Tx:11.94  is his perfect blamelessness. Out of love he was created, and in  love he abides. Goodness and mercy have always followed him, for he
Tx:11.94  and mercy have always followed him, for he has always extended the  love of his Father.
Tx:12.9  understanding lies your remembering, for it is the recognition of  love without fear. There will be great joy in Heaven on your
Tx:12.12 Your fear of attack is nothing compared to your fear of  love. You would be willing to look even upon your savage wish to kill
Tx:12.12  wish to kill God's Son if you did not believe that it saves you from  love. For this wish caused the separation. You have protected it
Tx:12.12  you realize that, by removing the dark cloud that obscures it, your  love for your Father would impel you to answer His call and leap into
Tx:12.12  and much stronger than it will ever be, is your intense and burning  love of God, and His for you. This is what you really want to hide.
Tx:12.13  it not harder for you to say “I love” than “I hate”? You associate  love with weakness and hatred with strength, and your own real power
Tx:12.13  For you could not control your joyous response to the call of  love if you heard it, and the whole world you think you control would
Tx:12.14  be helpless in God's Presence, and you would save yourself from His  love because you think it would crush you into nothingness. You are
Tx:12.14  which you would. Therefore, you have used the world to cover your  love, and the deeper you go into the blackness of the ego's
Tx:12.14  the blackness of the ego's foundation, the closer you come to the  love that is hidden there. And it is this that frightens you.
Tx:12.15 You can accept insanity because you made it, but you cannot accept  love because you did not. You would rather be slaves of the
Tx:12.15  as what you made. You are more afraid of God than of the ego, and  love cannot enter where it is not welcome. But hatred can, for it
Tx:12.18  which you hold so dear, is your real call for help. For you call for  love to your Father as your Father calls you to Himself. In that
Tx:12.18  no illusions can satisfy him or save him from what he is. Only his  love is real, and he will be content only with his reality.
Tx:12.19  of your Father in peace and joy. But exempt no one from your  love, or you will be hiding a dark place in your mind where the Holy
Tx:12.19  exempt yourself from His healing power, for by not offering total  love, you will not be healed completely. Healing must be as complete
Tx:12.19  not be healed completely. Healing must be as complete as fear, for  love cannot enter where there is one spot of fear to mar its welcome.
Tx:12.21  everything and found nothing. For how could the gentleness of  love respond to his demands except by departing in peace and
Tx:12.22  see them as insane. But seek this place, and you will find it, for  love is in you and will lead you there.
Tx:12.23  afraid of this course should be apparent. For this is a course on  love because it is about you. You have been told that your function
Tx:12.33 We have said that you have but two emotions,  love and fear. One is changeless but continually exchanged, being
Tx:12.37  world you react to each of them as though it were the other. For  love cannot abide in a world apart, where when it comes it is not
Tx:12.37  he loves and recoils from what he fears. And you react with fear to  love and draw away from it. Yet fear attracts you, and believing it
Tx:12.37  and draw away from it. Yet fear attracts you, and believing it is  love, you call it to yourself. Your private world is filled with the
Tx:12.37  with the figures of fear you have invited into it, and all the  love your brothers offer you, you do not see. As you look with open
Tx:12.40  in your brothers because you denied it in yourself. For you will  love them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you will draw them to
Tx:12.42  Who looks on all in light. Your vision comes from fear, as His from  love. And He sees for you as your witness to the real world. He is
Tx:12.43  you will see as you look with Him, for His vision is His gift of  love to you, given Him of the Father for you.
Tx:12.44  Him. In the sanity of His vision, they looked upon themselves with  love, seeing themselves as the Holy Spirit sees them. And with this
Tx:12.54  you see in light brings your light closer to your own awareness.  Love always leads to love. The sick who ask for love are grateful for
Tx:12.54  brings your light closer to your own awareness. Love always leads to  love. The sick who ask for love are grateful for it, and in their
Tx:12.54  your own awareness. Love always leads to love. The sick who ask for  love are grateful for it, and in their joy, they shine with holy
Tx:12.55  aside the world and find another. This other world is bright with  love, which you have given it. And here will everything remind you of
Tx:12.56 Awakening unto Christ is following the laws of  love of your free will and out of quiet recognition of the truth in
Tx:12.56  willingly, and willingness is signified by giving. Those who accept  love of you become your willing witnesses to the love you gave them,
Tx:12.56  Those who accept love of you become your willing witnesses to the  love you gave them, and it is they who hold it out to you. In sleep
Tx:12.57 And yet the laws of  love are not suspended because you sleep. And you have followed them
Tx:12.62 Yet the real world has the power to touch you even here because you  love it. And what you call with love will come to you. Love always
Tx:12.62  to touch you even here because you love it. And what you call with  love will come to you. Love always answers, being unable to deny a
Tx:12.62  because you love it. And what you call with love will come to you.  Love always answers, being unable to deny a call for help or not to
Tx:12.63  the past behind and enter into the world He holds out to you in  love.
Tx:12.64  that he loves what he loves not and following not the road that  love points out. Love leads so gladly! And as you follow Him, you
Tx:12.64  what he loves not and following not the road that love points out.  Love leads so gladly! And as you follow Him, you will rejoice that
Tx:12.65  Who watches over him in everything. The world about him shines with  love because God placed him in Himself where pain is not and love
Tx:12.65  with love because God placed him in Himself where pain is not and  love surrounds him without end or flaw. Disturbance of his peace can
Tx:12.65  Disturbance of his peace can never be. In perfect sanity he looks on  love, for it is all about him and within him. He must deny the world
Tx:12.65  He must deny the world of pain the instant he perceives the arms of  love around him. And from this point of safety, he looks quietly
Tx:12.66  it now. God loves His Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's  love forever. The real world is the way that leads you to remembrance
Tx:12.67  what you want is the exchange of nightmares for the happy dreams of  love. In these lie your true perceptions, for the Holy Spirit
Tx:12.67  all perception is. Knowledge needs no correction. Yet the dreams of  love lead unto knowledge. In them you see nothing fearful, and
Tx:12.67  and because of this, they are the welcome that you offer knowledge.  Love waits on welcome, not on time, and the real world is but your
Tx:13.4  in time, and that is why Christ's vision looks on everything with  love. Yet even Christ's vision is not His reality. The golden aspects
Tx:13.15  in one is faith in the other, calling for punishment instead of  love. Nothing can justify insanity, and to call for punishment upon
Tx:13.19  you and learn that what you feared was there has been replaced with  love.
Tx:13.22  they will not look within and let it go. They cannot know they  love and cannot understand what loving is. Their main concern is to
Tx:13.28  have been unmerciful unto yourselves do not remember your Father's  Love. And looking without mercy upon your brothers, you do not
Tx:13.28  without mercy upon your brothers, you do not remember how much you  love Him. Yet it is forever true. In shining peace within you is the
Tx:13.29  released. There is no other way to look within and see the light of  love shining as steadily and as surely as God Himself has always
Tx:13.29  always loved His Son. And as His son loves Him. There is no fear in  love, for love is guiltless. You who have always loved your Father
Tx:13.29  His Son. And as His son loves Him. There is no fear in love, for  love is guiltless. You who have always loved your Father can have no
Tx:13.30  enter into real relationships with any of God's Sons unless you  love them all and equally. Love is not special. If you single out
Tx:13.30  with any of God's Sons unless you love them all and equally.  Love is not special. If you single out part of the Sonship for your
Tx:13.30  Love is not special. If you single out part of the Sonship for your  love, you are imposing guilt on all your relationships and making
Tx:13.30  guilt on all your relationships and making them unreal. You can  love only as God loves. Seek not to love unlike Him, for there is no
Tx:13.30  and making them unreal. You can love only as God loves. Seek not to  love unlike Him, for there is no love apart from His. Until you
Tx:13.30  love only as God loves. Seek not to love unlike Him, for there is no  love apart from His. Until you recognize that this is true, you will
Tx:13.30  Until you recognize that this is true, you will have no idea what  love is like. No one who condemns a brother can see himself as
Tx:13.32  loving, is bright within you. Let us look upon him together and  love him. For in our love of him is your guiltlessness. But look upon
Tx:13.32  within you. Let us look upon him together and love him. For in our  love of him is your guiltlessness. But look upon yourself, and
Tx:13.33  my belief are centered on what I treasure. The difference is that I  love only what God loves with me, and because of this, I treasure you
Tx:13.33  on yourselves, even unto the worth that God has placed upon you. I  love all that He created, and all my faith and my belief I offer unto
Tx:13.33  and my belief I offer unto it. My faith in you is strong as all the  love I give my Father. My trust in you is without limit and without
Tx:13.34  blamelessness. God loves you. Could I, then, lack faith in you and  love Him perfectly?
Tx:13.51  And it is these, and not the truth, that he has chosen to defend and  love. They will not be taken from him. But they can be given up by
Tx:13.58  will find no deception there but only the simple truth. And you will  love it because you will understand it.
Tx:13.66  therefore to yourself gently, but with the conviction born of the  love of God and of His Son,
Tx:13.70  is another opportunity to replace darkness with light and fear with  love. If he refuses it, he binds himself to darkness because he did
Tx:13.79  Madness may be your choice, but not your reality. Never forget the  love of God, Who has remembered you. For it is quite impossible that
Tx:13.80  which the Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His  love and teach His answer to everyone who struggles in the dark. For
Tx:13.81 How gracious is it to decide all things through Him Whose equal  love is given equally to all alike! He leaves you no one outside
Tx:13.81  and do not reconsider. Trust Him to answer quickly, surely, and with  love for everyone who will be touched in any way by the decision. And
Tx:13.90  be anyone without His Holiness nor anyone unworthy of His perfect  Love. Fail not in your function of loving in a loveless place made
Tx:13.90  you His blameless Son. For this small gift of appreciation for His  Love, God will Himself exchange your gift for His.
Tx:13.91  loving not the Son of God and trying to teach him guilt instead of  love. Give up this frantic and insane attempt, which cheats you of
Tx:13.91  joy of living with your God and Father, and awaking gladly to His  love and holiness, which join together as the truth in you, making
Tx:14.5  Would you have all of it transformed into a radiant message of God's  Love, to share with all the lonely ones who denied Him with you? God
Tx:14.6  but He Who knows is with you. His gentleness is yours, and all the  love you share with God He holds in trust for you. He would teach you
Tx:14.12  guilt alone. The power of God draws everyone to its safe embrace of  love and union. Stand quietly within this circle and attract all
Tx:14.14  gentleness, He would release from fear and reestablish the reign of  love. The power of love is in His gentleness, which is of God and
Tx:14.14  release from fear and reestablish the reign of love. The power of  love is in His gentleness, which is of God and therefore cannot
Tx:14.17  hidden and therefore nothing is fearful. Attack will always yield to  love if it is brought to love, not hidden from it. There is no
Tx:14.17  is fearful. Attack will always yield to love if it is brought to  love, not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the light of love
Tx:14.17  to love, not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the light of  love will not dispel, unless it is concealed from love's beneficence.
Tx:14.17  it is concealed from love's beneficence. What is kept apart from  love cannot share its healing power, because it has been separated
Tx:14.18  be so no longer. Without protection of obscurity, only the light of  love remains, for only this has meaning and can live in light.
Tx:14.21  effort to communicate through not communicating holds enough of  love to make it meaningful if its interpreter is not its maker. You
Tx:14.28  will not let it go. Truth does not struggle against ignorance, and  love does not attack fear. What needs no protection does not defend
Tx:14.31  have you have. Behold your will, accepting it as His, with all His  love as yours. All honor to you through Him, and through Him unto God.
Tx:14.34  with His Son is quite impossible here. Unbroken and uninterrupted  love flows constantly between the Father and the Son, as both would
Tx:14.41 In the temple Holiness waits quietly for the return of them that  love it. The Presence knows they will return to purity and to grace.
Tx:14.41  sense of pain and loss with the immortal assurance of their Father's  Love. There, fear of death will be replaced with joy of living. For
Tx:14.52  all is the Holy Spirit's one division into two categories—one of  love and the other the call for love. You cannot safely make this
Tx:14.52  into two categories—one of love and the other the call for  love. You cannot safely make this division, for you are much too
Tx:14.52  this division, for you are much too confused either to recognize  love or to believe that everything else is nothing but a need for
Tx:14.52  love or to believe that everything else is nothing but a need for  love. You are too bound to form and not to content. What you consider
Tx:14.55  give only the answer with which He answers you. Everyone seeks for  love as you do and knows it not unless he joins with you in seeking
Tx:14.56  Let the Holy Spirit show him to you and teach you both his  love and need for love. Neither his mind nor yours holds more than
Tx:14.56  Holy Spirit show him to you and teach you both his love and need for  love. Neither his mind nor yours holds more than these two orders of
Tx:14.57 The miracle is the recognition that this is true. Where there is  love, your brother must give it to you because of what it is. But
Tx:14.57  give it to you because of what it is. But where there is need for  love, you must give it because of what you are. Long ago we said this
Tx:14.57  His Son forever, will bless each recognition of His Son with all the  love He holds for him. Nor will the power of all His love be absent
Tx:14.57  with all the love He holds for him. Nor will the power of all His  love be absent from any miracle you offer to His Son. How, then, can
Tx:15.14  it takes to reestablish perfect sanity, perfect peace, and perfect  love for everyone, for God, and for yourself. As long as it takes to
Tx:15.24  the time. The lesson will seem hard at first, but you will learn to  love it when you realize that it is true and constitutes a tribute to
Tx:15.30  born in you in honor of Him Whose host you are. You know not what  love means because you have sought to purchase it with little gifts,
Tx:15.30  thus valuing it too little to be able to understand its magnitude.  Love is not little, and love dwells in you, for you are host to Him.
Tx:15.30  to be able to understand its magnitude. Love is not little, and  love dwells in you, for you are host to Him. Before the greatness
Tx:15.32  that everything I learned is yours. What my Father loves, I  love as He does, and I can no more accept it as what it is not than
Tx:15.45  would be chaos. Yet I assure you that without the ego all would be  love.
Tx:15.46  for meeting them on your own terms. We said before that to limit  love to part of the Sonship is to bring guilt into your relationships
Tx:15.47 You cannot  love parts of reality and understand what love means. If you would
Tx:15.47 You cannot love parts of reality and understand what  love means. If you would love unlike to God, Who knows no special
Tx:15.47  love parts of reality and understand what love means. If you would  love unlike to God, Who knows no special love, how can you understand
Tx:15.47  love means. If you would love unlike to God, Who knows no special  love, how can you understand it? To believe that special
Tx:15.47  understand it? To believe that special relationships, with special  love, can offer you salvation is the belief that separation is
Tx:15.48  shift and change so frequently. They are not based on changeless  love alone. And love where fear has entered cannot be depended on
Tx:15.48  so frequently. They are not based on changeless love alone. And  love where fear has entered cannot be depended on because it is not
Tx:15.48  to truth. Under His teaching, every relationship becomes a lesson in  love.
Tx:15.49  but His. All the guilt in it arises from your use of it. All the  love from His. Do not, then, be afraid to let go your imagined needs,
Tx:15.50  offered to the Holy Spirit for His use. There is no substitute for  love. If you would attempt to substitute one aspect of love for
Tx:15.50  for love. If you would attempt to substitute one aspect of  love for another, you have placed less value on one and more on the
Tx:15.50  them as they were not. Unless you had seen yourself as without  love, you could not have judged them so like you in lack.
Tx:15.53  only here. For in the holy instant, free of the past, you see that  love is in you, and you have no need to look without and snatch it
Tx:15.54  And united in your blessing, it becomes one to you. The meaning of  love is the meaning God gave to it. Give to it any meaning apart from
Tx:15.55  God has created it beyond judgment out of His need to extend His  Love. With love in you, you have no need except to extend it. In the
Tx:15.55  created it beyond judgment out of His need to extend His Love. With  love in you, you have no need except to extend it. In the holy
Tx:15.55  reaches to eternity and to the Mind of God. And it is only there  love has meaning, and only there can it be understood.
Tx:15.57  yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact that perfect  love is in you. And so you seek without for what you cannot find
Tx:15.57  appreciation of his worth, we cannot doubt his holiness. And so we  love him.
Tx:15.59  not find it difficult to believe that, when another calls on God for  love, your call remains as strong. Nor do you think that, by God's
Tx:15.60  lies peace, for here there is no conflict. In the world of scarcity,  love has no meaning, and peace is impossible. For gain and loss are
Tx:15.60  gain and loss are both accepted, and so no one is aware that perfect  love is in him. In the holy instant, you recognize the idea of love
Tx:15.60  love is in him. In the holy instant, you recognize the idea of  love in you and unite this idea with the mind that thought it and
Tx:15.60  but completion. From this it follows you can only give. And this is  love, for this alone is natural under the laws of God.
Tx:15.62  drawn irresistibly into the light behind it can have faith in  love without fear. Yet the Holy Spirit gives you this faith because
Tx:15.65 Beyond the poor attraction of the special  love relationship and always obscured by it is the powerful
Tx:15.65  the powerful attraction of the Father for His Son. There is no other  love that can satisfy you, because there is no other love. This is
Tx:15.65  is no other love that can satisfy you, because there is no other  love. This is the only love that is fully given and fully returned.
Tx:15.65  can satisfy you, because there is no other love. This is the only  love that is fully given and fully returned. Being complete, it asks
Tx:15.66  no one recognizes it. For the ego always seems to attract through  love and has no attraction at all to anyone who perceives that it
Tx:15.70  sees it and recognizes that no one could interpret direct attack as  love. Yet to make guilty is direct attack but does not seem to be.
Tx:15.71  hates him for it. Yet this is what he thinks he wants. He is not in  love with the other at all. He merely believes he is in love with
Tx:15.71  He is not in love with the other at all. He merely believes he is in  love with sacrifice. And for this sacrifice, which he demanded of
Tx:15.74  many forms, but it cannot long deceive those who will learn that  love brings no guilt at all, and what brings guilt cannot be love and
Tx:15.74  that love brings no guilt at all, and what brings guilt cannot be  love and must be anger. All anger is nothing more than an attempt to
Tx:15.81  to yourselves. Fear not to give redemption over to your Redeemer's  love. He will not fail you, for He comes from One Who cannot fail.
Tx:15.81  it calls to everyone to escape from loneliness and join you in your  love. And where you are must everyone seek and find you there.
Tx:15.88  unto creation, which is the only purpose for which it was given you.  Love would always give increase. Limits are demanded by the ego,
Tx:15.89 If you would but let the Holy Spirit tell you of the  love of God for you and the need your creations have to be with you
Tx:15.90  your power, being His, is as great as His, you can turn away from  love. What you invest in guilt, you withdraw from God. And your sight
Tx:15.95  the ego takes many forms, it is always the same idea. What is not  love is always fear and nothing else. It is not necessary to follow
Tx:15.96  from sacrifice means nothing to you. Your confusion of sacrifice and  love is so profound that you cannot conceive of love without
Tx:15.96  of sacrifice and love is so profound that you cannot conceive of  love without sacrifice. And it is this that you must look upon—
Tx:15.96  And it is this that you must look upon—sacrifice is attack, not  love. If you would accept but this one idea, your fear of love would
Tx:15.96  not love. If you would accept but this one idea, your fear of  love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the idea of sacrifice has
Tx:15.98  as but a cover for the one idea that hides behind them all—that  love demands sacrifice and is therefore inseparable from attack and
Tx:15.98  inseparable from attack and fear. And that guilt is the price of  love, which must be paid by fear. How fearful, then, has God become
Tx:15.98  has God become to you, and how great a sacrifice do you believe His  love demands! For total love would demand total sacrifice. And so the
Tx:15.98  and how great a sacrifice do you believe His love demands! For total  love would demand total sacrifice. And so the ego seems to demand
Tx:15.98  to be feared a little, but the other to be destroyed. For you see  love as destructive, and your only question is who is to be
Tx:15.98  completely. And this you think saves you from God, Whose total  love would completely destroy you.
Tx:15.102  One, and no thought alien to His Oneness can abide with Him there.  Love must be total to give Him welcome, for the Presence of Holiness
Tx:15.103  without pain there can be no sacrifice. And without sacrifice, there  love must be.
Tx:15.104 You who believe that sacrifice is  love must learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice
Tx:15.104  that sacrifice is love must learn that sacrifice is separation from  love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love brings peace.
Tx:15.104  is separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as  love brings peace. Guilt is the condition of sacrifice, as peace is
Tx:15.105  the deprivation, attack becomes salvation, and sacrifice becomes  love.
Tx:15.106 So is it that in all your seeking for  love, you seek for sacrifice and find it. Yet you find not love. It
Tx:15.106  for love, you seek for sacrifice and find it. Yet you find not  love. It is impossible to deny what love is and still recognize it.
Tx:15.106  and find it. Yet you find not love. It is impossible to deny what  love is and still recognize it. The meaning of love lies in what you
Tx:15.106  to deny what love is and still recognize it. The meaning of  love lies in what you have cast outside yourself, and it has no
Tx:15.107 In the holy instant, the condition of  love is met, for minds are joined without the body's interference,
Tx:15.107  peace. The Prince of Peace was born to reestablish the condition of  love by teaching that communication remains unbroken, even if the
Tx:15.108  would teach to all my brothers is that sacrifice is nowhere and  love is everywhere. For communication embraces everything, and in the
Tx:15.108  embraces everything, and in the peace it re-establishes,  love comes of itself. Let no despair darken the joy of Christmas, for

Tx:19.66 From your holy relationship truth proclaims the truth, and  love looks on itself. Salvation flows from deep within the home you
Tx:19.84  conflict. Only God's Answer is its end. The obstacle of your seeming  love for death that peace must flow across seems to be very great.

Tx:19.94  from you fades in the presence of the quiet recognition that you  love Him. The exaltation of the body is given up in favor of the
Tx:19.94  exaltation of the body is given up in favor of the Spirit, which you  love as you could never love the body. And the appeal of death is
Tx:19.94  given up in favor of the Spirit, which you love as you could never  love the body. And the appeal of death is lost forever as love's

Tx:20.40  will shine so brightly in your grateful vision that you will merely  love him and be glad. You will not think to judge him, for who would

Tx:20.46  in which the body enters is based not on love, but on idolatry.  Love wishes to be known, completely understood, and shared. It has no

Tx:20.50  is the home of the idolater and of love's condemnation. For here is  love made fearful and hope abandoned. Even the idols that are

Tx:22.62  to see it [separate from its Creator]. And thus it seems as if  love could attack and become fearful.
Tx:22.64  they are the same. Joy is unlimited because each shining thought of  love extends its being and creates more of itself. There is no
Tx:22.65  cannot fear alone when your relationship can also teach the power of  love is there, which makes all fear impossible? Do not attempt to
Tx:23.2  as certain you will fear what you attack as it is sure that you will  love what you perceive as sinless. He walks in peace who travels
Tx:23.2  as sinless. He walks in peace who travels sinlessly along the way  love shows him. For love walks with him there, protecting him from
Tx:23.2  in peace who travels sinlessly along the way love shows him. For  love walks with him there, protecting him from fear. And he will see
Tx:23.3  their innocence, released from sin and fear, and happily returned to  love. They share the strength of love because they looked on
Tx:23.3  and fear, and happily returned to love. They share the strength of  love because they looked on innocence. And every error disappeared
Tx:23.7  not the means of peace, and what the warlike would remember is not  love. War is impossible unless belief in victory is cherished.
Tx:23.8  And fear will reign in madness and will seem to have replaced  love there. This is the conflict's purpose. And to those who think
Tx:23.14  whenever you look on anything that God created with anything but  love. Conflict is fearful, for it is the birth of fear. Yet what is
Tx:23.16  and peace and dwells with him. Illusions have no place where  love abides, protecting you from everything that is not true. You
Tx:23.18  is born and grows and seeks to dominate. Peace is the state where  love abides and seeks to share itself. Conflict and peace are
Tx:23.30  of chaos comes to the rescue. It holds there is a substitute for  love. This is the “magic” that will cure all of your pain; the
Tx:23.30  ingredient which would give meaning to your life. The substitute for  love, born of your enmity to one another, must be salvation. It has
Tx:23.31  upon both, for in His madness He must have this substitute for  love and kill you both. You who believe you walk in sanity, with feet
Tx:23.32  with madness sanity, illusions true, attack a kindness, hatred  love and murder benediction, is the goal the laws of chaos serve.
Tx:23.32  of God appear to be reversed. Here do the laws of sin appear to hold  love captive and let sin go free.
Tx:23.33  eyes, blinded and terrible to look upon, is lifted to the throne of  love, its dying conqueror, its substitute, the savior from salvation.
Tx:23.35  some forms of murder not mean death? Can an attack in any form be  love? What form of condemnation is a blessing? Who makes his savior
Tx:23.38  beliefs that they imply, not for their form. And lack of faith in  love in any form attests to chaos as reality.
Tx:23.43  salvation is impossible. It would maintain you can attack a little,  love a little, and know the difference. Thus it would teach a little
Tx:23.44  be withheld a little. Nor is it possible to attack for this and  love for that and understand forgiveness. Would you not want to
Tx:23.47  same intent. And it is this you fear and not the form. What is not  love is murder. What is not loving must be an attack. Every illusion
Tx:23.47  is an assault on truth, and every one does violence to the idea of  love because it seems to be of equal truth.
Tx:23.48 What can be equal to the truth yet different? Murder and  love are incompatible. Yet if they both are true, then must they be
Tx:23.50 The lovely light of your relationship is like the  love of God. It cannot yet assume the holy function God gave His Son,
Tx:23.54  nothing. Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the light they  love is in awareness, and only love shines upon them forever. It is
Tx:23.54  is inconceivable. Only the light they love is in awareness, and only  love shines upon them forever. It is their past, their present, and
Tx:23.54  Can it be anything that offers you a perfect calmness and a sense of  love so deep and quiet that no touch of doubt can ever mar your
Tx:23.55  is there that offers less, yet could be wanted more? Who with the  love of God upholding him could find the choice of miracles or murder
Tx:24.3  Love is extension. To withhold the smallest gift is not to know
Tx:24.3  To withhold the smallest gift is not to know love's purpose.  Love offers everything forever. Hold back but one belief, one
Tx:24.3  everything forever. Hold back but one belief, one offering, and  love is gone because you asked a substitute to take its place. And
Tx:24.3  for peace, come with the one alternative that you can choose for  love. Your choosing it has given it all the reality it seems to have.
Tx:24.4  enemies of peace, your least decision to choose attack instead of  love, unrecognized and swift to challenge you to combat and to
Tx:24.8  And he must never reach them, or your goal is jeopardized. Can  love have meaning where the goal is triumph? And what decision can be
Tx:24.8  you. There is no difference. You have been given to each other that  love might be extended, not cut off from one another. What you keep
Tx:24.11  For what is specialness but an attack upon the Will of God? You  love your brother not while it is this you would defend against him.
Tx:24.12 Comparison must be an ego device, for  love makes none. Specialness always makes comparisons. It is
Tx:24.14  in exile from himself and Him of Whom they are a part. Nor do they  love the Oneness Which created them as one with Him. They chose their
Tx:24.15  you are, is all you listen to. And that vast song of honor and of  love for what you are seems silent and unheard before its
Tx:24.16  are different and apart—each in his special sins and “safe” from  love, which does not see his specialness at all. Christ's vision is
Tx:24.17  no sound. Is it a sacrifice to give up nothing and to receive the  love of God forever?
Tx:24.20  one step more and every vestige of the fear of God will melt away in  love. Your brother's specialness and yours are enemies and bound in
Tx:24.22  what he has, remembering God gave Himself to both of you in equal  love that both might share the universe with Him Who chose that love
Tx:24.22  love that both might share the universe with Him Who chose that  love could never be divided and kept separate from what it is and
Tx:24.22  from what it is and must forever be. You are your brother's; part of  love was not denied to him. But can it be that you have lost because
Tx:24.22  What has been given him makes you complete, as it does him. God's  love gave you to him and him to you because He gave Himself. What is
Tx:24.23 Specialness is the seal of treachery upon the gift of  love. Whatever serves its purpose must be given to kill. No gift that
Tx:24.23  weapon and the great defender of all illusions from the “threat” of  love.
Tx:24.30  for neither one wills specialness. How could they will the death of  love itself? Yet they are powerless to make attack upon illusions.
Tx:24.31 Forgive the great Creator of the universe, the Source of life, of  love and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect Son, for your
Tx:24.31  chose not this for you. Ask not He enter this. The way is barred to  love and to salvation. Yet if you would release your brother from the
Tx:24.33  them not. They ask of you but that your will be done. They seek your  love that you may love yourself. Love not your specialness instead of
Tx:24.33  of you but that your will be done. They seek your love that you may  love yourself. Love not your specialness instead of them. The print
Tx:24.33  your will be done. They seek your love that you may love yourself.  Love not your specialness instead of them. The print of nails are on
Tx:24.40  create. The power of a wish upholds illusions as strongly as does  love extend itself, except that one deludes; the other heals.
Tx:24.43  hated him before it hated you. The sin its eyes behold in him and  love to look upon, it saw in you and looks on still with joy. Yet is
Tx:24.45  and He leads you there in gentleness and blessing all the way. His  love for God replaces all the fear you thought you saw within
Tx:24.45  is like yourself. For what but Christ is there to see and hear and  love and follow home? He looked upon you first but recognized that
Tx:24.45  beholds and loves. And seeks it still, that each might offer you the  love of God.
Tx:24.46 Yet is He quiet, for He knows that  love is in you now and safely held in you by that same hand that
Tx:24.47  would be content with specialness and seek salvation in a war with  love, consider this: the holy Lord of Heaven has Himself come down to
Tx:24.51  His Mind is absent from your own. It is His Will you share His  love for you and look upon yourself as lovingly as He conceived of
Tx:24.58  under the laws you see as ruling him. Think, then, how great the  love of God for you must be that He has given you a part of Him to
Tx:24.58  before the Will of God, Who loves each part of Him with equal  love [and care]. The Christ in you can see your brother truly. Would
Tx:24.62  made to be your strength? What is this child of earth on whom such  love is lavished? What is this parody of God's creation that takes
Tx:24.63  given specialness belongs to him and thus returns to you. All of the  love and care, the strong protection, the thought by day and night,
Tx:24.71  creation. For as His Son's creation gave Him joy and witness to His  love and shared His purpose, so does the body testify to the idea
Tx:25.3  To those who know Him not, it carries Him in gentleness and  love to heal their minds. Such is the mission that your brother has
Tx:25.4  Him to His Father, whole and pure and worthy of His everlasting  Love.
Tx:25.7  Each aspect of Himself is framed in holiness and perfect purity, in  love celestial and so complete it wishes only that it may release all
Tx:25.20  His masterpiece? What could He do but offer thanks to you who  love His Son as He does? Would He not make known to you His love if
Tx:25.20  you who love His Son as He does? Would He not make known to you His  love if you but share His praise of what He loves? God cherishes
Tx:25.22  may see as one what never has been separate nor apart from all God's  love as given equally.
Tx:25.23  perception's form adapted to this world of God's more basic law that  love creates itself and nothing but itself.
Tx:25.28  means to justify his anger turned to an event which justifies his  love. He will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are
Tx:25.35 Would you not do this for the  love of God? And for yourself? For think what it would do for you.
Tx:25.42  the power to save what He created from the pain of hell. But in the  love he shows himself is God made free to let His Will be done. In
Tx:25.42  of God must be for you. In your forgiveness will you understand His  love for you; through your attack believe He hates you, thinking
Tx:25.43  from himself. And as he loves them, so he looks upon himself with  love and gentleness. He would no more condemn himself for his
Tx:25.48  sin was made his special grace. His special hate became his special  love.
Tx:25.50  a request for death, a wish to make this world's foundation sure as  love, dependable as Heaven, and as strong as God Himself. The world
Tx:25.50  as Heaven, and as strong as God Himself. The world is safe from  love to everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor will it change. Yet is
Tx:25.55  one demand is worthy of your faith. But nothing else. What is not  love is sin, and either one perceives the other as insane and
Tx:25.55  sin, and either one perceives the other as insane and meaningless.  Love is the basis for a world perceived as wholly mad to sinners who
Tx:25.55  is the way to sanity. But sin is equally insane within the sight of  love, whose gentle eyes would look beyond the madness and rest
Tx:25.59 What is dependable except God's  Love? And where does sanity abide except in Him? The One Who speaks
Tx:25.65  insanity. Yet how could justice be defined without insanity where  love means hate and death is seen as victory and triumph over
Tx:25.68  angry hand. They do believe that Heaven is hell and are afraid of  love. And deep suspicion and the chill of fear comes over them when
Tx:25.68  and to their world than vengeance, which they understand and  love.
Tx:25.70  they are not fair and cannot understand that they are innocent.  Love is not understandable to sinners because they think that justice
Tx:25.70  to sinners because they think that justice is split off from  love and stands for something else.
Tx:25.71 And thus is  love perceived as weak and vengeance strong. For love has lost when
Tx:25.71 And thus is love perceived as weak and vengeance strong. For  love has lost when judgment left its side and is too weak to save
Tx:25.71  side and is too weak to save from punishment. But vengeance without  love has gained in strength by being separate and apart from love.
Tx:25.71  without love has gained in strength by being separate and apart from  love. And what but vengeance now can help and save, while love stands
Tx:25.71  apart from love. And what but vengeance now can help and save, while  love stands feebly by with helpless hands, bereft of justice and
Tx:25.71  bereft of justice and vitality and powerless to save? What can  Love ask of you who think that all of this is true? Could He, in
Tx:25.71  you who think that all of this is true? Could He, in justice and in  love believe in your confusion you have much to give? You are not
Tx:25.72  as His Son receives what loving justice knows to be his due. For  love and justice are not different. Because they are the same does
Tx:25.74  the Holy Spirit ask if he will be that one, so justice may return to  love and there be satisfied. Each special function He allots is but
Tx:25.74  function He allots is but for this—that each one learn that  love and justice are not separate. And both are strengthened by their
Tx:25.74  And both are strengthened by their union with each other. Without  love is justice prejudiced and weak. And love without justice is
Tx:25.74  with each other. Without love is justice prejudiced and weak. And  love without justice is impossible. For love is fair and cannot
Tx:25.74  prejudiced and weak. And love without justice is impossible. For  love is fair and cannot chasten without cause. What cause can be to
Tx:25.74  can be to warrant an attack upon the innocent? In justice then does  love correct mistakes, but not in vengeance. For that would be unjust
Tx:25.75 You can be perfect witness to the power of  love and justice if you understand it is impossible the Son of God
Tx:25.77  it cannot replace God's justice with a version of its own. For only  love is just and can perceive what justice must accord the Son of
Tx:25.77  just and can perceive what justice must accord the Son of God. Let  love decide and never fear that you in your unfairness will deprive
Tx:26.4  He is invisible in such a world. Nor can his song of union and of  love be heard at all. Yet is it given him to make the world recede
Tx:26.16  into a universal blessing. Sacrifice is gone. And in its place the  love of God can be remembered and will shine away all memory of
Tx:26.17  function opens wide the door beyond which is the memory of His  love kept perfectly intact and undefiled. And all you need to do is
Tx:26.17  offer or receive less than He gave when He created you in perfect  love.
Tx:26.25  gate behind which total lack of limits lies. Nothing in boundless  love could need forgiveness. And what is charity within the world
Tx:26.27  of Christ and not recall His Father as He really is? Who could fear  love and stand upon the ground where sin has left a place for
Tx:26.27  heart of all creation? What is Heaven but a song of gratitude and  love and praise by everything created to the Source of its creation?
Tx:26.28  is cherished more than any other. Each reminds him of His Father's  love as surely as the rest. And each one teaches him that what he
Tx:26.28  but a miracle could change his mind, so that he understands that  love cannot be feared? What other miracle is there but this? And what
Tx:26.29  will be the joy in Heaven when you join the mighty chorus to the  love of God!
Tx:26.39  an instant, to be instantly restored unto His Father's perfect  Love. And how can he be kept in chains long since removed and gone
Tx:26.42  relive the single instant when the time of terror was replaced by  love. And so you die each day to live again until you cross the gap
Tx:26.43  which perception of your hate has been transformed into a world of  love.
Tx:26.52  proclaiming sin has taken His reality from Him, and brought His  love at last to vengeance's heels. For such an insane picture, an
Tx:26.64  attack deprived of its effects, and hate is answered in the name of  love. To you to whom it has been given to save the Son of God from
Tx:26.80  nothingness when They have come. What hatred claimed is given up to  love, and freedom lights up every living thing and lifts it into
Tx:26.82  the spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present  love. And They come quickly to the living temple, where a home for
Tx:26.82  be Their resting-place as well as yours. What hatred has released to  love becomes the brightest light in Heaven's radiance. And all the
Tx:26.87  denied the right to be himself, and asked to sacrifice his Father's  love and yours as not his due?
Tx:26.90  all unfairness been resolved and been replaced with justice and with  love. If you perceive injustice anywhere, you need but say:
Tx:27.6  every scar is healed and every tear is wiped away in laughter and in  love. And he will look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes
Tx:27.7  frail and vulnerable is your life, how easily destroyed is what you  love. Depression speaks of death and vanity of real concern with
Tx:27.10  neither is it dead. It stands apart from all experience of fear or  love. For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose being open and
Tx:27.13 Is healing frightening? To many, yes. For accusation is a bar to  love, and damaged bodies are accusers. They stand firmly in the way
Tx:27.13  no grounds for peace. Who has been injured by his brother and could  love and trust him still? He has attacked and will attack again.
Tx:27.19  sees no specialness at all. It does not come from pity but from  love. And love would prove all suffering is but a vain imagining, a
Tx:27.19  no specialness at all. It does not come from pity but from love. And  love would prove all suffering is but a vain imagining, a foolish
Tx:27.31  that you see means nothing. There is nothing to attack or to deny,  love, or hate, or to endow with power or to see as weak. The picture
Tx:27.33  the learning interval it has a use which now you fear, but yet will  love.
Tx:27.45  need for healing then. But it does mean, if only for an instant, you  love without attack. An instant is sufficient. Miracles wait not on
Tx:27.46  has come to heal. And nothing more than just one instant of your  love without attack is necessary that all this occur. In that one
Tx:27.53  you have benefited from it. What occurred within the instant which  love entered in without attack will stay with you forever. Your
Tx:27.53  parts. God thanks you for your healing, for He knows it is a gift of  love unto His Son, and therefore is it given unto Him.
Tx:27.57  Himself what it should feel and what its function is. Yet must He  love whatever you hold dear. And for each witness to the body's death
Tx:27.59  Love, too, has symbols in a world of sin. The miracle forgives
Tx:27.73  his calmer mind to welcome, not to fear, the Voice that calls with  love to waken him. [A gentler dream, in which his suffering was
Tx:28.13  unremembered and undone. The stillness speaks in gentle sounds of  love the Son of God remembers from before his own remembering came in
Tx:28.17 Fatherhood is creation.  Love must be extended. Purity is not confined. It is the nature of
Tx:28.31 The end of dreaming is the end of fear, and  love was never in the world of dreams. The gap is little. Yet it
Tx:28.36  enter not, for time waits not upon this feast, which has no end. For  Love has set Its table in the space that seemed to keep your Guests
Tx:28.48  you did not give them your support. Where fear has gone, there  love must come because there are but these alternatives. Where one
Tx:28.53  will see within yourself when you have lost the fear of recognizing  love.
Tx:29.1  compromise the least and littlest gap would represent in His eternal  love is quite impossible. For it would mean His love could harbor
Tx:29.1  in His eternal love is quite impossible. For it would mean His  love could harbor just a hint of hate; His gentleness turn sometimes
Tx:29.1  How could you trust Him, then? For He must be deceptive in His  Love. Be wary, then; let Him not come too close, and leave a gap
Tx:29.1  let Him not come too close, and leave a gap between you and His  love through which you can escape if there be need for you to flee.
Tx:29.2 Here is the fear of God most plainly seen. For  love is treacherous to those who fear, since fear and hate can never
Tx:29.2  fear and hate can never be apart. No one who hates but is afraid of  love and therefore must he be afraid of God. Certain it is he knows
Tx:29.2  therefore must he be afraid of God. Certain it is he knows not what  love means. He fears to love and loves to hate, and so he thinks that
Tx:29.2  of God. Certain it is he knows not what love means. He fears to  love and loves to hate, and so he thinks that love is fearful—hate
Tx:29.2  means. He fears to love and loves to hate, and so he thinks that  love is fearful—hate is love. This is the consequence the little
Tx:29.2  and loves to hate, and so he thinks that love is fearful—hate is  love. This is the consequence the little gap must bring to those who
Tx:29.4  intervals of separation, which protect you from the “sacrifice” of  love. The body saves you, for it gets away from total sacrifice and
Tx:29.7 It is not  love that asks a sacrifice. But fear demands the sacrifice of love,
Tx:29.7  is not love that asks a sacrifice. But fear demands the sacrifice of  love, for in love's presence fear cannot abide. For hate to be
Tx:29.7  for in love's presence fear cannot abide. For hate to be maintained  love must be feared and only sometimes present, sometimes gone. Thus
Tx:29.7  must be feared and only sometimes present, sometimes gone. Thus is  love seen as treacherous because it seems to come and go uncertainly
Tx:29.7  weak is your allegiance and how frequently you have demanded that  love go away and leave you quietly alone in “peace.”
Tx:29.8  are overtones of seeming fear around the happy message, “God is  love.”
Tx:29.9  trinkets in the gap could serve to hold you back an instant from His  love? Would you allow the body to say “no” to Heaven's calling, were
Tx:29.12  guilt but one. Where they are causeless, their effects are gone, and  love must come wherever they are not. Why are you not rejoicing? You
Tx:29.12  friend and guilt your god, and you should welcome the effects of  love.
Tx:29.14  must be there. For what you now can do could not be done without the  love and grace His Presence holds.
Tx:29.19  It is His loss you celebrate when you behold the body as a thing you  love, or look upon it as a thing you hate. For if He be the sum of
Tx:29.21  Himself when He created you? Was He made weak because He shared His  love? Was He made incomplete by your perfection? Or are you the proof
Tx:29.23  By your gift of freedom is it given unto you. Make way for  love, which you did not create, but which you can extend. On earth
Tx:29.24  shadows that have hidden him and shines on you in gratitude and  love. He is himself, but not himself alone. And as his Father lost
Tx:29.30  loves the dreamer not the dream, each dream becomes an offering of  love. For at its center is His love for you, which lights whatever
Tx:29.30  each dream becomes an offering of love. For at its center is His  love for you, which lights whatever form it takes with love.
Tx:29.30  center is His love for you, which lights whatever form it takes with  love.
Tx:29.32  The peace in you can but be found in him. And every thought of  love you offer him but brings you nearer to your wakening to peace
Tx:29.33 This sacred Son of God is like yourself—the mirror of his Father's  love for you, the soft reminder of his Father's love by which he was
Tx:29.33  of his Father's love for you, the soft reminder of his Father's  love by which he was created and which still abides in him, as it

Tx:30.39  form you seek. What form can be a substitute for God the Father's  love? What form can take the place of all the love in the divinity of
Tx:30.39  for God the Father's love? What form can take the place of all the  love in the divinity of God the Son? What idol can make two of what
Tx:30.63  be unremembered till His Son has reached beyond forgiveness to the  love of God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted first. And then will

Tx:30.64  walk with you? His blessing lies on you as surely as His Father's  love rests upon Him. His gratitude to you is past your understanding,
Tx:31.7  may have overlearned your chosen task, the lesson which reflects the  love of God is stronger still. And you will learn God's Son is
Tx:31.9  in you remembers God with all the certainty with which He knows His  love. But only if His Son is innocent can He be Love. For God were
Tx:31.9  which He knows His love. But only if His Son is innocent can He be  Love. For God were fear indeed if he whom He created innocent could

Tx:31.10  when you have answered Him, and you will know in Him that God is  Love.
Tx:31.16 Perhaps you call it  love. Perhaps you think that it is murder justified at last. You hate
Tx:31.20  fall back if he does not advance. Take not his hand in anger but in  love, for in his progress do you count your own. And we go separately
Tx:31.21 Because he is your equal in God's  love, you will be saved from all appearances and answer to the Christ
Tx:31.24  for you have come with but one purpose—that you both may learn you  love each other with a brother's love. And as a brother, must his

Tx:31.75  within the universe! To every part of true creation has the Lord of  Love and Life entrusted all salvation from the misery of hell. And to
Tx:31.76  across the face of Christ, the fear of God and of salvation, and the  love of guilt and death, they all are different names for just one
Tx:31.76  fight to keep the space that holds your brother off unoccupied by  love. Yet while you hold this sword, you must perceive the body as

W1:50.3  This is the answer to whatever confronts you today. Through the  Love of God in you, you can resolve all seeming difficulties without

W1:54.6  behold the proof that what has been done through me has enabled  love to replace fear, laughter to replace weeping, and abundance to

W1:55.3  It is anything but a reflection of the Love of God and the  love of His Son. It is my own attack thoughts which give rise to this
W1:55.4  thoughts I could not see a world of attack. As forgiveness allows  love to return to my awareness, I will see a world of peace and

W1:68.1 You who were created by  Love like Itself can hold no grievances and know your Self. To hold a

W1:103.1  Yet can the mind deny that this is so, believing there are gaps in  love where sin can enter, bringing pain instead of joy.
W1:103.2 This strange belief would limit happiness by redefining  love as limited and introducing opposition in what has no limit and
W1:103.2  in what has no limit and no opposite. Fear is associated then with  love, and its results become the heritage of minds that think what

W1:103.4 God, being  Love, is also happiness. To fear Him is to be afraid of joy.

W1:126.13  spend a quiet moment, opening your mind to His correction and His  Love. And what you hear of Him you will believe, for what He gives
W1:127.1 Perhaps you think that different kinds of  love are possible. Perhaps you think there is a kind of love for
W1:127.1  kinds of love are possible. Perhaps you think there is a kind of  love for this, a kind for that; a way of loving one, another way of
W1:127.1  for that; a way of loving one, another way of loving still another.  Love is one. It has no separate parts and no degrees; no kinds nor
W1:127.2 Love's meaning is obscure to anyone who thinks that  love can change. He does not see that changing love must be
W1:127.2  who thinks that love can change. He does not see that changing  love must be impossible. And thus he thinks that he can love at times
W1:127.2  changing love must be impossible. And thus he thinks that he can  love at times and hate at other times. He also thinks that love can
W1:127.2  he can love at times and hate at other times. He also thinks that  love can be bestowed on one and yet remain itself although it is
W1:127.2  although it is withheld from others. To believe these things of  love is not to understand it. If it could make such distinctions it
W1:127.3  Love cannot judge. As it is one itself, it looks on all as one. Its

W1:127.3  of it as partial or in part. There is no love but God's, and all of  love is His. There is no other principle which rules where love is
W1:127.3  all of love is His. There is no other principle which rules where  love is not. Love is a law without an opposite. Its wholeness is the

W1:127.4  fail to emphasize there is no difference in what you are and what  love is. Love's meaning is your own, and shared by God Himself. For
W1:127.4  shared by God Himself. For what you are is what He is. There is no  love but His, and what He is, is everything there is. There is no
W1:127.5  not one principle the world upholds but violates the truth of what  love is, and what you are as well. Seek not within the world to find
W1:127.5  what you are as well. Seek not within the world to find your Self.  Love is not found in darkness and in death. Yet it is perfectly
W1:127.6  its established goal. If you achieve the faintest glimmering of what  love means today, you have advanced in distance without measure and
W1:127.8  give up a false belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what  love means. He will shine through your idle thoughts today and help
W1:127.8  your idle thoughts today and help you understand the truth of  love. In loving gentleness, He will abide with you as you allow His

W1:129.3  it a loss to find a world instead where losing is impossible, where  love endures forever, hate cannot exist, and vengeance has no
W1:130.2 Yet who can really hate and  love at once? Who can desire what he does not want to have reality?
W1:130.2  for this its weapon is—that which you fear to see you cannot see.  Love and perception thus go hand in hand, but fear obscures in
W1:130.4  up the world. They are not there. Love's enemy has made them up. Yet  love can have no enemy, and so they have no cause, no being, and no
W1:131.1  cannot be achieved. You look for permanence in the impermanent, for  love where there is none, for safety in the midst of danger,
W1:131.6  abandon his Creator nor affect His perfect, timeless, and unchanging  Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall
W1:132.12  apart from Him nor make what does not share His timelessness and  love. Are these inherent in the world you see? Does it create like
W1:134.2  All truth belongs to Him, reflects His laws and radiates His  Love. Does this need pardon? How can you forgive the sinless and
W1:134.11 Across this bridge, as powerful as  Love Which laid Its blessing on it, are all dreams of evil and of

W1:151.14  and the happiness God wills His Son as proof of His eternal  Love. And as each thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing
W1:152.2  peace, or grief of joy? Can fear and sickness enter in a mind where  love and perfect holiness abide? Truth must be all-inclusive if it be
W1:152.10  Him Who has created us immaculate, like to Himself in power and in  love. The power of decision is our own. And we accept of Him that
W1:152.11  of God's Son, his gentleness, his perfect sinlessness, his Father's  Love, his right to Heaven and release from hell are joyously accepted
W1:153.17  as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of our mission and His  Love. And we will quietly sit by and wait on Him and listen to His
W1:153.20  am here.” Your practicing will now begin to take the earnestness of  love to help you keep your mind from wandering from its intent.
W1:153.21  your final goal. The ministers of God can never fail because the  love and strength and peace that shine from them to all their
W1:155.12  Could any way be holier or more deserving of your effort, of your  love, and of your full intent? What way could give you more than
W1:155.14  of Him a while each day that He may speak to you and tell you of His  Love, reminding you how great His trust, how limitless His Love. In
W1:155.14  of His Love, reminding you how great His trust, how limitless His  Love. In your name and His own, which are the same, we practice
W1:157.9  serenely unaware of everything except His shining face and perfect  Love. The vision of His face will stay with you, but there will be an
W1:158.1  sinless forever, wholly unafraid because you were created out of  Love. Nor have you left your Source, remaining as you were created.
W1:158.6  is a quiet place within the world made holy by forgiveness and by  love. Here are all contradictions reconciled, for here the journey

W1:160.1 Fear is a stranger to the ways of  love. Identify with fear, and you will be a stranger to yourself. And
W1:160.4  His Son? Is fear His own, created in His likeness? Is it fear that  love completes and is completed by? There is no home can shelter love
W1:160.4  love completes and is completed by? There is no home can shelter  love and fear. They cannot coexist. If you are real, then fear must
W1:161.1  against our anger, that our fears may disappear and offer room to  love. Here is salvation in the simple words in which we practice
W1:161.5  calls for no response, for symbols can stand for the meaningless.  Love needs no symbols, being true. But fear attaches to specifics,
W1:161.9  do the body's eyes behold in one whom Heaven cherishes, the angels  love, and God created perfect. This is his reality. And in Christ's

W1:162.2 Here is the Word by which the Son became His Father's happiness, His  Love, and His completion. Here creation is proclaimed and honored as
W1:162.4  it is now the treasury in which God places all His gifts and all His  Love to be distributed to all the world, increased in giving, kept
W1:163.4  all creation, stronger than God's Will for life, the endlessness of  love and Heaven's perfect, changeless constancy. Here is the Will of

W1:165.7  Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His  love remains beyond our every fear. The thought of Him is still
W1:168.1  His Son. There is no certainty but this, yet this suffices. He will  love His Son forever. When his mind remains asleep, He loves him
W1:168.1  still. And when his mind awakes, He loves him with a never-changing  Love.
W1:168.2 If you but knew the meaning of His  Love, hope and despair would be impossible, for hope would be forever
W1:168.2  His answer is to all despair, for in it lies remembrance of His  Love. Would He not gladly give the means by which His Will is
W1:168.4  later. For in grace you see a light that covers all the world in  love and watch fear disappear from every face as hearts rise up and
W1:168.5  us the means to lay them down and rise to Him in gratitude and  love.
W1:168.6  but the words He gave to us through His Own Voice, His Word, His  Love:
W1:168.7  I come to You. And You will come to me who asks. I am the Son You  love.
W1:169.1 Grace is an aspect of the  Love of God which is most like the state prevailing in the unity of
W1:169.2 Grace is acceptance of the  Love of God within a world of seeming hate and fear. By grace alone
W1:170.4  your mind into two camps which seem wholly irreconcilable. For  love now has an “enemy,” an opposite; and fear, the alien, now needs
W1:170.6 Next are the attributes of  love bestowed upon its “enemy.” For fear becomes your safety and
W1:170.6  about your strength and hope of rest in dreamless quiet. And as  love is shorn of what belongs to it and it alone, love is endowed
W1:170.6  quiet. And as love is shorn of what belongs to it and it alone,  love is endowed with attributes of fear. For love would ask you lay
W1:170.6  to it and it alone, love is endowed with attributes of fear. For  love would ask you lay down all defense as merely foolish. And your
W1:170.7 With  love as enemy must cruelty become a god, and gods demand that those
W1:170.9  before this idol, seeing him exactly as he is. Will you restore to  love what you have sought to wrest from it and lay before this
W1:170.10  of fear as god. For fear is loved by those who worship it, and  love appears to be invested now with cruelty.
W1:170.11 Where does the totally insane belief in gods of vengeance come from?  Love has not confused its attributes with those of fear. Yet must the
W1:170.11  their own confusion in fear's “enemy,” its cruelty as now a part of  love. And what becomes more fearful than the heart of Love Itself?
W1:170.11  now a part of love. And what becomes more fearful than the heart of  Love Itself? The blood appears to be upon His lips; the fire comes
W1:170.13  The Call of God is heard and answered. Now has fear made way for  love, as God Himself replaces cruelty.

W1:187.10  we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of our Father's  Love.
W1:189.1  light is a reflection of the thought we practice now. To feel the  Love of God within you is to see the world anew, shining in

W1:189.3 This is the world the  Love of God reveals. It is so different from the world you see
W1:189.4  of hatred equally unseen and inconceivable to those who feel God's  Love in them. Their world reflects the quietness and peace that
W1:189.5  held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers. If you feel the  Love of God within you, you look out upon a world of mercy and of

W1:190.3  is no God. For vengeance is not part of love. And fear, denying  love and using pain to prove that God is dead, has shown that death

W1:195.10  Son, for being what you are—His own completion and the source of  love, along with Him. Your gratitude to Him is one with His to you.
W1:195.10  along with Him. Your gratitude to Him is one with His to you. For  love can walk no road except the way of gratitude, and thus we go who

W2:231.1 What can I seek for, Father, but Your  Love? Perhaps I think I seek for something else—a something I have

W2:348.1  You are here, and I am not alone. Surrounding me is everlasting  Love. I have no cause for anything except the perfect peace and joy I

Tx:17.8 This  loveliness is not a fantasy. It is the real world, bright and clean

Tx:24.40 The Christ in you is very still. He looks on what He  loves and knows it as Himself. And thus does He rejoice at what He
Tx:24.45  sought for your completion in each living thing that He beholds and  loves. And seeks it still, that each might offer you the love of God.

Tx:30.36  God Himself could not be free. For what is done to him whom God so  loves is done to God Himself. Think not He wills to bind you, Who has
W1:68.9  with everyone and everything, safe in a world which protects you and  loves you and which you love in return. Try to feel safety

W1:99.9  you say, for these are words in which your freedom lies. Your Father  loves you. All the world of pain is not His Will. Forgive yourself
W1:100.6  you. God asks that you be happy so the world can see how much He  loves His Son and wills no sorrow rises to abate his joy; no fear
W1:123.3  change. Give thanks as well that you are changeless, for the Son He  loves is changeless as Himself. Be grateful you are saved. Be glad

W1:153.12  of as a game that happy children play. It was designed by One Who  loves His children, and Who would replace their fearful toys with
W1:168.1  Him and suffer from deception. He remains entirely accessible. He  loves His Son. There is no certainty but this, yet this suffices. He
W1:168.1  He will love His Son forever. When his mind remains asleep, He  loves him still. And when his mind awakes, He loves him with a
W1:168.1  remains asleep, He loves him still. And when his mind awakes, He  loves him with a never-changing Love.
W1:168.4 God  loves His Son. Request Him now to give the means by which this world
W1:168.6  prepared for us He gives and we receive. Such is His Will because He  loves His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but the words He gave
W1:184.12  to the pitiful inheritance you made as fitting tribute to the Son He  loves.
W1:190.8  have gladly paid not to be free. In pain is God denied the Son He  loves. In pain does fear appear to triumph over love and time replace
W1:193.5  them all, and they reflect His loving kindness to the Son He  loves. Each lesson has a central thought, the same in all of them.
W1:199.2  rests in God, and who can be afraid who lives in Innocence and only  loves?
W1:219.1  And then return to earth without confusion as to what my Father  loves forever as His Son. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still
W2:235.1  sure that I am saved and safe forever in His arms. I am the Son He  loves. And I am saved because God in His mercy wills it so.
W2:238.2 And so again today we pause to think how much our Father  loves us. And how dear His Son, created by His Love, remains to Him

W2:WIS.3  an end; eternal life must die. And God Himself has lost the Son He  loves, with but corruption to complete Himself, His Will forever

Tx:4.6 Every symptom which the ego has  made involves a contradiction in terms. This is because the mind is
Tx:4.12  is natural enough for the ego to try to protect itself once you have  made it, but it is not natural for you to want to obey its laws
Tx:4.15  be doubtful forever, or rather as long as you believe in it. You who  made it cannot trust it because you know it is not real. The only
Tx:4.16  are. You have chosen, therefore, to create unlike Him, and you have  made fear for yourselves. You are not at peace because you are not
Tx:4.25  is a process which literally alters both, because they were not  made either by or with the unalterable. It is particularly important
Tx:4.26 Your own present state is a good example of how the mind  made the ego. You do have knowledge at times, but when you throw it
Tx:4.27  protection, and great charity. The reaction of man to the self he  made is not at all surprising. In fact it duplicates in many ways how
Tx:4.32  impossible. The ego never gives out of abundance, because it was  made as a substitute for it. That is why the concept of “getting”
Tx:4.49  cannot believe that God loves you. You do not love what you have  made, and what you made does not love you. Being made out of the
Tx:4.49  that God loves you. You do not love what you have made, and what you  made does not love you. Being made out of the denial of the Father,
Tx:4.49  love what you have made, and what you made does not love you. Being  made out of the denial of the Father, the ego has no allegiance to
Tx:4.49  and His Souls because of the hatred you have for the self you have  made. You project onto your own idea of yourself the will to
Tx:4.49  to separate, which conflicts with the love you feel for what you  made because you made it. No human love is without this ambivalence,
Tx:4.49  which conflicts with the love you feel for what you made because you  made it. No human love is without this ambivalence, and since no ego
Tx:4.52  to block it, and it is forever unwilling to destroy what you have  made. No one can see through a wall, but I can step around it. Watch
Tx:4.52  you and honor you and maintain complete respect for what you have  made, but I will neither honor it nor love it unless it is true.
Tx:4.54  which implies a lack, has already been accepted. That is why we  made no distinction before between having the Kingdom of God and
Tx:4.63 The habit of engaging with God and His creations is easily  made if you actively refuse to let your minds slip away. The problem

Tx:4.74  surprise you to learn that had the ego wished to do so it could have  made the eternal because, as a product of the mind, it is endowed
Tx:4.78  automatically. When you make a decision of purpose, then, you have  made a decision about your future effort, a decision which will
Tx:4.85  that you are here. In learning to escape from the illusions you have  made, your great debt to each other is something you must never
Tx:4.87  are immediately recognized as eternal. Since this recognition is  made by you and not the ego, the recognition itself establishes that
Tx:5.12 God honored even the miscreations of His Children because they had  made them, but He also blessed them with a way of thinking that could
Tx:5.19 The Atonement and the separation began at the same time. When man  made the ego, God placed in him the call to joy. This call is so
Tx:5.19  is why you can choose to listen to two voices within you. One you  made yourself and that one is not of God. But the other is given you
Tx:5.22  without hindrance. Direct communication was broken because you had  made another voice through another will. The Holy Spirit calls you
Tx:5.24  other way, remaining quiet even in the midst of the turmoil you have  made for yourselves. The Voice for God is always quiet, because it
Tx:5.26  because it is a decision. The decision itself is very simple. It is  made on the basis of which call is worth more to you.
Tx:5.27  it, because the decision itself is the decision to share. It is  made by giving and is therefore the one act of mind that resembles
Tx:5.27  By deciding for God, I showed you that this decision can be  made and that you can make it.
Tx:5.28 I promised you that the mind that  made the decision for me is also in you and that you can let it
Tx:5.36  opposed. The Holy Spirit has the task of undoing what the ego has  made. He undoes it in the same realm of discourse in which the ego
Tx:5.42  If peace is eternal, you are at home only in eternity. The ego  made the world as it perceives it, but the Holy Spirit, the
Tx:5.42  perceives it, but the Holy Spirit, the reinterpreter of what the ego  made, sees it only as a teaching device for bringing you home. The
Tx:5.42  The mind must be led into eternity through time because, having  made time, it is capable of perceiving its opposite.
Tx:5.43  opposition. Correct and learn and be open to learning. You have not  made truth, but truth can still set you free. Look as the Holy Spirit
Tx:5.49  of the Atonement, it lacks the healing potential it holds. You  made the distinction in terms of feelings, which led to a decision
Tx:5.49  you did not recognize how to undo their existence because you had  made them.
Tx:5.59  The word “create” is appropriate here because, once what you have  made is undone by the Holy Spirit, the blessed residue is restored
Tx:5.66  not learned it. But again, your decision can be unmade as well as  made. Remember, though, that the alternatives are unalterable.
Tx:5.67  open to you. God created one, and so you cannot eradicate it. You  made the other, and so you can. Only what God creates is irreversible
Tx:5.67  what God creates is irreversible and unchangeable. What you have  made can always be changed, because when you do not think like God
Tx:5.73  Alternate interpretations were unnecessary until the first one was  made, and speaking itself was unnecessary before the ego was made.
Tx:5.73  one was made, and speaking itself was unnecessary before the ego was  made.
Tx:5.74  wrong, because they are based on a complete fallacy which they were  made to uphold. Nothing the ego perceives is interpreted correctly.
Tx:5.74  Perceiving it as fearful, it interprets it fearfully. Having  made you afraid, you do not appeal to the Higher Court, because you
Tx:5.79  came to share the light with you. Remember the symbolic reference we  made before to the ego's dark glass, and remember also that we said,
Tx:5.92 Why should you listen to the endless insane calls which you think are  made upon you when you know the Voice of God Himself is in you? God
Tx:5.93  God Himself gave you the perfect correction for everything you have  made which is not in accord with His holy Will. I have made His plan
Tx:5.93  you have made which is not in accord with His holy Will. I have  made His plan perfectly explicit to you and have also told you of
Tx:5.95  difficult. This is obvious if you realize that you must already have  made a decision not to be wholly joyous if that is how you feel.
Tx:5.95  merely to return your thinking to the point at which the error was  made and give it over to the Atonement in peace. Say to yourselves
Tx:5.96 I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at peace. I  made the decision myself, but I can also decide otherwise. I will to
Tx:6.7 Assault can ultimately be  made only on the body. There is little doubt that one body can
Tx:6.8 I have  made it perfectly clear that I am like you and you are like me, but
Tx:6.10  Himself, and so it is true forever. I believed in it and therefore  made it forever true for me. Help me to teach it to our brothers in
Tx:6.19  that makes anyone misunderstand anything. Their own imperfect love  made them vulnerable to projection, and out of their own fear they
Tx:6.19  entirely without anger, because their own sense of guilt had  made them angry.
Tx:6.20  love. These are not like the several slips into impatience which I  made. I had learned the Atonement prayer, which I also came to teach,
Tx:6.26  yourself first out of awareness and thus imagine that you have  made yourself safe.
Tx:6.33  outward. Although perception of any kind is unnecessary, you  made it, and the Holy Spirit can therefore use it well. He can
Tx:6.40  hear and teach and learn what is not true. From this, which you have  made, you have taught yourselves to believe that you are not what you
Tx:6.41  teach only by Him. You are only love, but when you denied this, you  made what you are something you must learn. We said before that the
Tx:6.46 When God created you, He  made you part of Him. That is why attack within the Kingdom is
Tx:6.46  of Him. That is why attack within the Kingdom is impossible. You  made the ego without love, and so it does not love you. You could not
Tx:6.48  the Holy Spirit, but it does believe that part of the same mind that  made it is against it. It interprets this as a justification for
Tx:6.53  created, but it is the kindest solution possible to what you have  made. In an impossible situation, you can develop your abilities to
Tx:6.55  possible, however, not because the laws are true, but because you  made them. What would be gained if God proved to you that you have
Tx:6.55  God teach you that you have sinned? If He confronted the self you  made with the truth He created for you, what could you be but afraid?
Tx:6.57  not believe in your own perfection. Could God teach you that you had  made a split mind, when He knows your mind only as whole? What God
Tx:6.62  does not exist. The Holy Spirit, as always, takes what you have  made and translates it into a learning device for you. Again as
Tx:6.76  dawn on your minds that you are trying to undo a decision which was  made irrevocably for you. That is why we suggested before that there
Tx:6.94  minds and thus placed part of your mind outside it. What you have  made has thus divided your will and given you a sick mind which must
Tx:6.95  is unnecessary. You have exerted great effort to preserve what you  made because it was not true. Therefore, you must now turn your
Tx:7.22  learn at all. The Holy Spirit teaches you to use what the ego has  made to teach the opposite of what the ego has learned. The kind of
Tx:7.23 You  made the effort to learn, and the Holy Spirit has a unified goal for
Tx:7.37  recognizing their universality. Without this recognition, you have  made the laws themselves meaningless to you. Yet the laws are not
Tx:7.45  seem to be meaningful. Exceptions are fearful, because they are  made by fear. The “fearful healer” is a contradiction in terms and is
Tx:7.49  his for him, you help him undo the change his ego thinks it has  made in him. As you can hear two voices, so you can see in two ways.
Tx:7.58  decision which the ego could possibly encounter, if the mind which  made it knew itself. And if it recognized any part of the Sonship, it
Tx:7.59  it makes illusions it will believe in them, because that is how it  made them.
Tx:7.61  untrue. You cannot deny that, when you believe something, you have  made it true for you.
Tx:7.73  All illusions about the Sonship are dispelled together, as they were  made together. Teach no one that he is what you would not want to be.
Tx:7.74 You  made perception, and it must last as long as you want it. Illusions
Tx:7.88 Do not be afraid of the ego. It does depend on your mind and, as you  made it by believing in it, so you can dispel it by withdrawing
Tx:7.89  apparent, but it is not recognized as beyond belief, because it was  made by belief.
Tx:7.90  the ego is unbelievable and will forever be unbelievable. You who  made the ego by believing the unbelievable cannot make this judgment
Tx:7.105  pain and joy and will lead you out of the confusion which you have  made. There is no confusion in the mind of a Son of God whose will
Tx:7.108  a strain, because he was not created for the environment that he has  made. He therefore cannot adapt to it, nor can he adapt it to him.
Tx:7.109 Consider the kingdom you have  made and judge its worth fairly. Is it worthy to be a home for a

Tx:8.4  must have taught you the wrong things simply because it has not  made you happy. On this basis alone, its value should be questioned.
Tx:8.5  for yourselves, but so is its outcome. If the outcome of yours has  made you unhappy and if you want a different one, a change in the
Tx:8.14  all things because it created all things. By creating all things, it  made them part of itself. You are the Will of God, because this is
Tx:8.22  and you will know it if you are willing to look at what the ego has  made of you. This is your responsibility, because once you have
Tx:8.22  the Atonement for yourself. What other choice could you make? Having  made this choice, you will begin to learn and understand why you have
Tx:8.46  and expect joy in return? And what else but joy would you want? You  made neither yourself nor your function. You made only the decision
Tx:8.46  joy would you want? You made neither yourself nor your function. You  made only the decision to be unworthy of both. Yet you could not make
Tx:8.54  His separated Sons, the Holy Spirit interprets everything you have  made in the light of what He is. The ego separates through the body.
Tx:8.59 Remember that the Bible says, “The Word (or thought) was  made flesh.” Strictly speaking this is impossible, since it seems to
Tx:8.59  to exist, just as different orders of miracles do. Thought cannot be  made into flesh except by belief, since thought is not physical. Yet
Tx:8.62  not mind, is a fragmented (or sick) interpretation. Mind cannot be  made physical, but it can be made manifest through the physical if it
Tx:8.62  sick) interpretation. Mind cannot be made physical, but it can be  made manifest through the physical if it uses the body to go beyond
Tx:8.66 You are not limited by the body, and thought cannot be  made flesh. Yet mind can be manifested through the body if it goes
Tx:8.74  impartial judgment. When the ego calls on a witness, it has already  made the witness an ally.
Tx:8.90  of God is one of the strangest beliefs that the human mind has ever  made. This could not possibly have occurred unless the mind were
Tx:8.103  induce panic. Willing against reality, though impossible, can be  made into a very persistent goal, even though you do not want it. But
Tx:9.8  but you do need to learn to want this, and for this all learning was  made. This is the Holy Spirit's good use of an ability which you do
Tx:9.8  good use of an ability which you do not need, but which you have  made. Give it to Him! You do not know how to use it. He will teach
Tx:9.11  you did make, into the ability to share, He translates what you have  made into what God created. If you would accomplish this through Him,
Tx:9.12  first and then overlook it. Yet how can you overlook what you have  made real? By seeing it clearly, you have made it real and cannot
Tx:9.12  you overlook what you have made real? By seeing it clearly, you have  made it real and cannot overlook it.
Tx:9.14  at all, or you will also believe that you must undo what you have  made in order to be forgiven. What has no effect does not exist, and
Tx:9.17  is borrowed from your eternity. This is the Second Coming, which was  made for you as the First was created. The Second Coming is merely
Tx:9.23  and then uses them to prove that the nightmare is real. Having  made it real, he then attempts to dispel its effects by depreciating
Tx:9.38  you the means to find it? If He wills you to have it, He must have  made it possible and very easy to obtain it. Your brothers are
Tx:9.52  grandeur is not delusional, because you did not make it. You have  made grandiosity and are afraid of it because it is a form of attack,
Tx:9.54  slips away from you, you have replaced it with something you have  made. Perhaps it is the belief in littleness; perhaps it is the
Tx:9.70  do not make what you remember; you merely accept again what has been  made but was rejected. The ability to accept truth in this world is
Tx:9.73  if you will look at it. By deciding against your reality, you have  made yourself vigilant against God and His Kingdom. And it is this
Tx:9.78 A sick god must be an idol,  made in the image of what its maker thinks he is. And that is exactly
Tx:9.81  You would save them and serve them, because you believe that they  made you. You think they are your father because you are projecting
Tx:9.81  because you are projecting onto them the fearful fact that you  made them to replace God. Yet when they seem to speak to you,
Tx:9.82  awareness you are healed. You will hear the god you listen to. You  made the god of sickness, and by making him, you made yourself able
Tx:9.82  you listen to. You made the god of sickness, and by making him, you  made yourself able to hear him. Yet you did not create him, because
Tx:9.83  your real Father. You cannot make your father, and the father you  made did not make you. Honor is not due to illusions, for to honor
Tx:9.84  if you accept him, you will bow down and worship him because he was  made as God's replacement. He is the belief that you can choose which
Tx:9.85  gods before Him. God is not at war with the god of sickness you  made, but you are. He is the symbol of willing against God, and you
Tx:9.85  see him, he will disappear into the nothingness out of which he was  made.
Tx:9.88  because it is without God. You have given your peace to the gods you  made, but they are not there to take it from you, and you are not
Tx:9.89  manner of your creation established you as creators. What you have  made is so unworthy of you that you could hardly want it if you were
Tx:9.95  this means to you. Unless you are sick, you cannot keep the gods you  made, for only in sickness could you possibly want them. Blasphemy,
Tx:9.95  be sick. This is the offering which your god demands because, having  made him out of your insanity, he is an insane idea. He has many
Tx:9.96  entered the Mind of God's Son against His Will. The “attack on God”  made His Son think he was fatherless, and out of his depression, he
Tx:9.96  made His Son think he was fatherless, and out of his depression, he  made the god of depression. This was his alternative to joy, because
Tx:9.96  nothing, but you are not of yourselves. If you were, what you have  made would be true, and you could never escape.
Tx:9.103  yourself the joy which was created for you for the misery you have  made for yourselves. God has given you the means for undoing what you
Tx:9.103  yourselves. God has given you the means for undoing what you have  made. Listen, and you will learn what you are.
Tx:9.105  Son is to be known. You believe that the sick things which you have  made are your real creations, because you believe that the sick
Tx:10.2  someone who really believed this question involves conflict? If you  made the ego, how can the ego have made you? The authority problem
Tx:10.2  involves conflict? If you made the ego, how can the ego have  made you? The authority problem remains the only source of perceived
Tx:10.2  remains the only source of perceived conflict, because the ego was  made out of the wish of God's Son to father Him. The ego, then, is
Tx:10.2  The ego, then, is nothing more than a delusional system in which you  made your own father. Make no mistake about this. It sounds insane
Tx:10.2  cornerstone of its thought system. And either the ego, which you  made, is your father, or its whole thought system will not stand.
Tx:10.3 You have  made by projection, but God has created by extension. The cornerstone
Tx:10.8 Waiting is possible only in time, but time has no meaning. You who  made delay can leave time behind simply by recognizing that neither
Tx:10.39  for we must look first at this to look beyond it since you have  made it real. We will undo this error quietly together and then look
Tx:10.54  meaning. Holding error clearly in mind and protecting what it has  made real, the ego proceeds to the next step in its thought system—
Tx:10.63  he places himself at the altar of his god, whether it be the god he  made or the God who created him. That is why his slavery is as
Tx:10.71  autonomy, you tried to create unlike your Father, believing what you  made to be capable of being unlike Him. Yet everything in what you
Tx:10.71  to be capable of being unlike Him. Yet everything in what you have  made that is true is like Him. Only this is the real world, and
Tx:10.72  until you do you will not know that it is yours already. You have  made many ideas which you have placed between yourselves and your
Tx:10.72  it is obscure. You do not know the difference between what you have  made and what God created, and so you do not know the difference
Tx:10.72  created, and so you do not know the difference between what you have  made and what you have created.
Tx:10.73  is all that the Holy Spirit has saved for you out of what you have  made, and to perceive only this is salvation because it is the
Tx:10.75 And then everything you  made will be forgotten, the good and the bad, the false and the true.
Tx:10.77  you did not make, and do not defend yourself against truth. You  made the problem which God has answered. Ask yourselves, therefore,
Tx:10.90  you will accept the real world in place of the false one you have  made. And then your Father will lean down to you and take the last
Tx:11.1  you will respond as if he had actually done so, because you have  made his error real to you. To interpret error is to give it power,
Tx:11.11  the only emotions of which you are capable. One is false, for it was  made out of denial, and denial depends on the real belief in what is
Tx:11.16  himself. Whatever the sickness, there is but one remedy. You will be  made whole as you make whole, for to perceive in sickness the appeal
Tx:11.27  that it does matter to you. It is only you, therefore, who have  made the request outrageous, for nothing can be asked of you, and
Tx:11.27  is of the ego and never of God. No “outrageous” request can be  made of one who recognizes what is valuable and wants to accept
Tx:11.32  is eternal. God gave you the real world in exchange for the one you  made out of your split mind, and which is the symbol of death. For if
Tx:11.33  against Him, and that is why you have no control over the world you  made. It is not a world of will because it is governed by the desire
Tx:11.33  desire to be unlike Him, and this desire is not will. The world you  made is therefore totally chaotic, governed by arbitrary and
Tx:11.33  and senseless “laws,” and without meaning of any kind. For it was  made out of what you do not want, projected from your mind because
Tx:11.43  yourself as weaker, you attempt to “equalize” the situation you have  made. You use attack to do so because you believe that attack was
Tx:11.46  learn of perfect love with a split mind because a split mind has  made itself a poor learner. You tried to make the separation eternal
Tx:11.50  curriculum goal, is learning how not to overcome the split which  made this goal believable. And you can not overcome it, for all your
Tx:11.61  will gain the real world. For in this holy perception, you will be  made whole, and the Atonement will radiate from your acceptance of it
Tx:11.68  in a different place, separated from each other because you  made them different. The mind then sees a divided world outside
Tx:11.70  a prisoner of this world. You can decide to see it right. What you  made of it is not its reality, for its reality is only what you gave
Tx:11.79 When you  made what is not true visible, what is true became invisible. Yet it
Tx:11.80  will correct the perception of everything you see. For what you have  made invisible is the only truth, and what you have not heard is the
Tx:11.81  remember. Yet the memory of God cannot shine in a mind which has  made it invisible and wants to keep it so. For the memory of God can
Tx:11.81  hardly aspire to control the universe. But look upon what you have  made of it and rejoice that it is not so. Son of God, be not content
Tx:11.82 Everything you  made has never been and is invisible because the Holy Spirit does not
Tx:11.82  behold, and through His vision your perception is healed. You have  made the invisible the only truth that this world holds. Valuing
Tx:11.82  not there. And Christ is invisible to you because of what you have  made visible to yourselves. Yet it does not matter how much distance
Tx:11.84  real world was given you by God in loving exchange for the world you  made and which you see. But take it from the hand of Christ and look
Tx:11.86  is its end. The world you see is the delusional system of those  made mad by guilt. Look carefully at this world, and you will realize
Tx:11.90 In this strange world which you have  made, the Son of God has sinned. How could you see him, then? By
Tx:11.93  found it. For everyone is seeking to escape from the prison he has  made, and the way to find release is not denied him. Being in him, he
Tx:12.14  lies in defiance and that attack is grandeur. You think you have  made a world which God would destroy; and by loving Him, which you
Tx:12.15 You can accept insanity because you  made it, but you cannot accept love because you did not. You would
Tx:12.15  living oneness, and what is given you is not so dear as what you  made. You are more afraid of God than of the ego, and love cannot
Tx:12.16  as long as they are hidden is the loving mind that thought it  made them in anger. And the pain in this mind is so apparent when it
Tx:12.20  not ask this of a Father Who truly loved His Son. Therefore you  made of Him an unloving father, demanding of Him what only such a
Tx:12.20  for he no longer understood his Father. He feared what he had  made, but still more did he fear his real Father, having attacked his
Tx:12.23  you no inheritance except the dust out of which it thinks you were  made. As long as it is reasonably satisfied with you, as its
Tx:12.24  you could experience. For hell and oblivion are ideas which you  made up, and you are bent on demonstrating their reality to establish
Tx:12.33  Yet they have one thing in common—they are all insane. They are  made of sights which are not seen and sounds which are not heard.
Tx:12.34  differ. Yet the figures that he sees were never real, for they are  made up only of his reactions to his brothers and do not include
Tx:12.34  include their reactions to him. Therefore he does not see that he  made them and that they are not whole. For these figures have no
Tx:12.41  although your eyes are closed. And it is here that what you see you  made. But let the darkness go, and all you made you will no longer
Tx:12.41  that what you see you made. But let the darkness go, and all you  made you will no longer see, for sight of it depends upon denying
Tx:12.42 Do not seek vision through your eyes, for you  made your way of seeing that you might see in darkness, and in this
Tx:12.43 You have but two emotions, and one you  made and one was given you. Each is a way of seeing, and different
Tx:12.45  is to them that you react now, you see but an image of him which you  made and cherish instead of him. In your questioning of illusions,
Tx:12.49  it where it is, and it will dawn on eyes that see. Your past was  made in anger, and if you use it to attack the present, you will not
Tx:12.54  keep it. You have established them as guides to peace, for you have  made it manifest in them. And seeing it, its beauty calls you home.
Tx:12.61  began. The homes you built have never sheltered you. The roads you  made have led you nowhere, and no city that you built has withstood
Tx:12.61  you built has withstood the crumbling assault of time. Nothing you  made but has the mark of death upon it. Hold it not dear, for it is
Tx:12.61  for it is old and tired and ready to return to dust even as you  made it. This aching world has not the power to touch the living
Tx:12.62  of pain that rise to it from every part of this strange world you  made but do not want. The only effort you need make to give this
Tx:12.62  for what you did not make is willingness to learn the one you  made is false.
Tx:12.67  of peace and then awaken to it. Your first exchange of what you  made for what you want is the exchange of nightmares for the happy
Tx:13.21  avoid the person and the guilt. What strange relationships you have  made for this strange purpose! And you forgot that real relationships
Tx:13.36  have His Son embattled, and so His Son's imagined “enemy,” which he  made, is totally unreal. You are but trying to escape a bitter war
Tx:13.36  Heaven. Gladness and joy belong to God for your release, because you  made it not. Yet as you made not freedom, so you made not a war that
Tx:13.36  belong to God for your release, because you made it not. Yet as you  made not freedom, so you made not a war that could endanger freedom.
Tx:13.36  because you made it not. Yet as you made not freedom, so you  made not a war that could endanger freedom. Nothing destructive ever
Tx:13.46  You will be released, and you will not remember anything you  made that was not created for you and by you in return. For how can
Tx:13.49  had been done unto you? Indirect proof of truth is needed in a world  made of denial and without direction. You will perceive the need for
Tx:13.51  Were your thoughts wholly of you, the thought system which you  made would be forever dark. The thoughts which the Mind of God's Son
Tx:13.51  The thoughts he shares with God are beyond his belief, but those he  made are his beliefs. And it is these, and not the truth, that he has
Tx:13.51  of the world is totally insane and leads to nothing. Yet in him who  made this insane logic, there is One Who knows it leads to nothing,
Tx:13.53  foundation and dismisses it. But you, who cannot undo what you have  made [nor escape the heavy burden of its dullness that lies upon your
Tx:13.55  of dust, a body or a war are one to you. For if you value one thing  made of nothing, you have believed that nothing can be precious and
Tx:13.56  difficult for twisted minds. Consider all the distortions you have  made of nothing—all the strange forms and feelings and actions and
Tx:13.59  brothers see it, and realizing that this light is not what you have  made, they see in you more than you see. They will be happy learners
Tx:13.62  the key to the dark door which you believe is locked forever. You  made this door of nothing and behind it is nothing. The key is only
Tx:13.73  Son can be separate or isolated in its effects. Every decision is  made for the whole Sonship, directed in and out and influencing a
Tx:13.78  you know alone and will decide against your peace as surely as you  made the wrong decision in ever thinking that salvation lay in you
Tx:13.90  Love. Fail not in your function of loving in a loveless place  made out of darkness and deceit, for thus are darkness and deceit
Tx:14.1  this is! Do not endow Him with attributes you understand. You  made Him not, and anything you understand is not of Him.
Tx:14.3  what you know. His memory is yours. If you remember what you have  made, you are remembering nothing. Remembrance of reality is in Him
Tx:14.10  this curriculum, which has one aim however it is taught. Each effort  made on its behalf is offered for the single purpose of release from
Tx:14.17  The sentinels of darkness watch over it carefully, and you who  made these guardians of illusion out of nothing are now afraid of
Tx:14.20 You have interpreted the separation as a means which you have  made for breaking your communication with your Father. The Holy
Tx:14.20  as a means of reestablishing what has not been broken but has been  made obscure. All things you made have use to Him for His most holy
Tx:14.20  what has not been broken but has been made obscure. All things you  made have use to Him for His most holy purpose. He knows you are not
Tx:14.20  else, would He separate from you. The power of decision, which you  made in place of the power of creation, He would teach you how to use
Tx:14.20  of creation, He would teach you how to use on your behalf. You who  made it to crucify yourselves must learn of Him how to apply it to
Tx:14.21  in dark and devious symbols do not understand the language you have  made. It has no meaning, for its purpose is not communication, but
Tx:14.21  to make it meaningful if its interpreter is not its maker. You who  made it are but expressing conflict, from which the Holy Spirit would
Tx:14.28  The Holy Spirit uses defenses on behalf of truth only because you  made them against it. His perception of them, according to His
Tx:14.29 Defenses, like everything you  made, must be gently turned to your own good, translated by the Holy
Tx:14.38  created holy. It merely brings unholiness to holiness, or what you  made to what you are. The bringing together of truth and illusion, of
Tx:14.38  lay in the decision to be not as you were. Thus, truth was  made past, and the present was dedicated to illusion. And the past,
Tx:14.58  it that you cannot use it. Everything you have taught yourselves has  made your power more and more obscure to you. You know not what it is
Tx:14.58  and more obscure to you. You know not what it is nor where. You have  made a semblance of power and a show of strength so pitiful that it
Tx:14.67 You cannot be your guide to miracles, for it is you who  made them necessary. And because you did, the means on which you can
Tx:14.70  he did them for you. And because he did, they are yours. He has  made you free of what you made. You can deny Him, but you cannot call
Tx:14.70  And because he did, they are yours. He has made you free of what you  made. You can deny Him, but you cannot call on Him in vain. He always
Tx:14.70  Him, but you cannot call on Him in vain. He always gives what He has  made in place of you. He would establish His bright teaching so
Tx:15.8  Spirit teaches thus: There is no hell. Hell is only what the ego has  made of the present. The belief in hell is what prevents you from
Tx:15.22  it. Everything in this world is little because it is a world  made out of littleness in the strange belief that littleness can
Tx:15.28  that you can be content with littleness are the decisions you have  made about yourself. The power and the glory that lie in you from God
Tx:15.36  in your own way and have it. Give over every plan that you have  made for your salvation in exchange for God's. His will content you,
Tx:15.48  it is not perfect. In His function as Interpreter of what you have  made, the Holy Spirit uses special relationships, which you have
Tx:15.49  Spirit knows no one is special. Yet He also perceives that you have  made special relationships, which He would purify and not let you
Tx:15.49  purify and not let you destroy. However unholy the reason why you  made them may be, He can translate them into holiness by removing as
Tx:15.67  of guilt must be recognized for what it is. For having been  made real to you, it is essential to look at it clearly, and by
Tx:15.69  to find out if you are willing, first, to perceive what you have  made of them.
Tx:15.78  part in it. In the protection of your wholeness, all are invited and  made welcome. And you understand that your completion is God's, Whose
Tx:15.84  it is not understandable, and yet He understands it because you have  made it. In Him alone lies the awareness of what God cannot know and
Tx:15.95  there is but one shift in perception that is necessary, for you  made but one mistake. It seems like many, but it is all the same. For
Tx:15.100  in the attempt to avoid recognizing the one decision which must be  made. And yet it is the recognition of the decision just as it is
Tx:15.112  by making it all the same. And let all your relationships be  made holy for you. This is our will. Amen.
Tx:16.12  seem natural because what you have done to hurt your minds has  made them so unnatural that they do not remember what is natural to
Tx:16.13  the first link in the awareness of the Sonship as one has been  made. When you have made this joining as the Holy Spirit bids you and
Tx:16.13  in the awareness of the Sonship as one has been made. When you have  made this joining as the Holy Spirit bids you and have offered it to
Tx:16.18  have preferred to place still greater faith in the disaster you have  made. Today let us resolve together to accept the joyful tidings that
Tx:16.19  been successful. Is it not time you brought these facts together and  made sense of them?
Tx:16.41  you can fail to remember it. The Holy Spirit is the bridge to Him,  made from your willingness to unite with Him and created by His joy
Tx:16.45  the unnatural ones. For this world is the opposite of Heaven, being  made to be its opposite, and everything here takes a direction
Tx:16.50  partners see this special self in each other, the ego sees “a union  made in Heaven.” For neither one will recognize that he has asked for
Tx:16.52  it offers the specialness which you demand. And hating it, you have  made it little and unworthy because you are afraid of it.
Tx:16.53  upon it. You think it safer to endow the little self which you have  made with power you wrested from truth, triumphing over it and
Tx:16.54  its evident impossibility? For if it were possible, you would have  made yourself helpless. God is not angry. He merely could not let
Tx:16.58  become when it is perceived as only what it is. For only fantasies  made confusion in choosing possible, and they are totally unreal.
Tx:16.62  For God is left without and nothing taken in. If one such union were  made in perfect faith, the universe would enter into it. Yet the
Tx:16.67  ego offered you and look not back with longing on the travesty it  made of your relationships. Now no one need suffer, for you have come
Tx:16.70  choosing a special partner without the past? Every such choice is  made because of something “evil” in the past to which you cling and
Tx:17.7  like unto this nor hold so dear. Nothing that you remember that  made your heart seem to sing with joy has ever brought you even a
Tx:17.9  you are free to see. Yet what you see is only what you have  made, with the blessing of your forgiveness on it. And with this
Tx:17.10  change; no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no variations which  made perception possible will occur. The perception of the real world
Tx:17.10  last step swiftly when you have reached the real world and have been  made ready for Him.
Tx:17.11  will undertake with you the careful searching of the mind that  made this world and uncover to you the seeming reasons for your
Tx:17.11  is suddenly released to loveliness. Not even what the Son of God  made in insanity could be without a hidden spark of beauty which
Tx:17.18  on them are those which have been dreamed of but have not been  made at all. Where no reality has entered, there is nothing to
Tx:17.20  been forgotten, what remains is eternal. And the transformed past is  made like the present. No longer does the past conflict with now.
Tx:17.20  it must be undone. For separation must be corrected where it was  made. The ego seeks to “resolve” its problems, not at their source,
Tx:17.20  “resolve” its problems, not at their source, but where they were not  made. And thus it seeks to guarantee there will be no solution.
Tx:17.23  Holy Spirit sees because He knows that only this is true. You have  made the relationship unreal and therefore unholy by seeing it where
Tx:17.23  about it for you. But first be sure you fully realize what you have  made the past to represent and why.
Tx:17.28  make a substitute for it. Every special relationship which you have  made is a substitute for God's Will and glorifies yours instead of
Tx:17.29 You have  made very real relationships even in this world which you do not
Tx:17.34  like diamonds and gleam in the dim light in which the offering is  made.
Tx:17.37  on the picture, you will realize that it was only the frame that  made you think it was a picture. Without the frame, the picture is
Tx:17.53  He could not have entered otherwise. Although you may have  made many mistakes since then, you have also made enormous efforts to
Tx:17.53  Although you may have made many mistakes since then, you have also  made enormous efforts to help Him do His work. And He has not been
Tx:17.60  view. The situation now has meaning, but only because the goal has  made it meaningful.
Tx:17.66  ask that it be restored where it was lost and seek not to have it  made up to you elsewhere as if you had been unjustly deprived of it.
Tx:17.72  in which you enter or will ever enter. And every situation was thus  made free of the past, which would have made it purposeless.
Tx:17.72  And every situation was thus made free of the past, which would have  made it purposeless.
Tx:18.4 You who believe that God is fear  made but one substitution. It has taken many forms because it was the
Tx:18.4  to illusion, infinity to time, and life to death, was all you ever  made. Your whole world rests upon it. Everything you see reflects it,
Tx:18.4  see reflects it, and every special relationship which you have ever  made is part of it.
Tx:18.6  and take no part in all the mad projection by which this world was  made. Call it not sin but madness, for such it was, and so it still
Tx:18.9  faith in each other, to help Him show you that no substitute you  made for Heaven can keep you from it. In you there is no separation,
Tx:18.17  reality is fearful, not what you would do to it. And thus is guilt  made real.
Tx:18.18  that seems to be outside. You do not respond to it as though you  made it, nor do you realize that the emotions which the dream
Tx:18.22  are so used to choosing between dreams you do not see that you have  made, at last, the choice between the truth and all illusions.
Tx:18.24  every fantasy which seemed to bring a light into the darkness but  made the darkness deeper. Your goal was darkness in which no ray of
Tx:18.26  realize that you are not afraid of love, but only of what you have  made of it. You are advancing to love's meaning and away from all
Tx:18.30  to darkness from the holy instant to which you brought it. We are  made whole in our desire to make whole. Let not time worry you, for
Tx:18.35  Would you first make a miracle yourself and then expect one to be  made for you?
Tx:18.38  and you will merely take away the little that is asked. Remember you  made guilt and that your plan for the escape from guilt has been to
Tx:18.52  from what the Holy Spirit establishes it to be. The body was not  made by love. Yet love does not condemn it and can use it lovingly,
Tx:18.52  it and can use it lovingly, respecting what the Son of God has  made and using it to save him from illusions.
Tx:18.54  make it a liability where it could be an asset. For fantasies have  made your body your “enemy,” weak, vulnerable, and treacherous,
Tx:18.55 This is the host of God that you have  made. And neither God nor His most holy Son can enter an abode which
Tx:18.55  sown the seeds of vengeance, violence, and death. This thing you  made to serve your guilt stands between you and other minds. The
Tx:18.55  of reaching out as being reached. You hate this prison you have  made and would destroy it. But you would not escape from it, leaving
Tx:18.56  property of mind. But the communication is internal. [It is not  made up of different parts which reach each other.] Mind reaches to
Tx:18.64 You have  made much progress and are really trying to make still more, but
Tx:18.68  on using means which have served others well, neglecting what was  made for you. Save time for me by only this one preparation and
Tx:18.71  limit on love. The belief in limited love was its origin, and it was  made to limit the unlimited. Think not that this is merely
Tx:18.71  the unlimited. Think not that this is merely allegorical, for it was  made to limit you. Can you who see yourselves within a body know
Tx:18.86  Its vision is distorted, and the messages it transmits to you who  made it to limit your awareness are little and limited and so
Tx:18.86  and so fragmented they are meaningless. From the world of bodies,  made by insanity, insane messages seem to be returned to the mind
Tx:18.86  by insanity, insane messages seem to be returned to the mind which  made it. And these messages bear witness to this world, pronouncing
Tx:18.88  all the insane attacks, the fury, vengeance, and betrayal that were  made to keep the guilt in place, so that the world could rise from it
Tx:18.88  is veiled by its heavy coverings and kept apart from what was  made to keep it hidden. The body cannot see this, for the body arose
Tx:19.4  stand between you. And the body will seem to be sick, for you have  made of it an “enemy” of healing and the opposite of truth.
Tx:19.14  There will you see the miracle of your relationship as it was  made again through faith. And there it is that you will realize that
Tx:19.17  makes salvation possible. For error can be corrected, and the wrong  made right. But sin, were it possible, would be irreversible. The
Tx:19.22 It can indeed be said the ego  made its world on sin. Only in such a world could everything be
Tx:19.22  from an idea of God to an ideal the ego wants; a world it rules,  made up of bodies, mindless and capable of complete corruption and

Tx:19.59  is valuable for what it offers. For here is the attraction of guilt  made manifest in the body and seen in it.
Tx:19.73 Why should the body be anything to you? Certainly what it is  made of is not precious. And just as certainly, it has no feeling. It
Tx:19.77  who are attracted to it and seek it out. And so it is with death.  Made by the ego, its dark shadow falls across all living things

Tx:19.92  to death and to its sovereignty is but the solemn vow, the promise  made in secret to the ego never to lift this veil, not to approach it
Tx:19.92  it nor even to suspect that it is there. This is the secret bargain  made with the ego to keep what lies beyond the veil forever blotted
Tx:20.5 Look upon all the trinkets  made to hang upon the body or to cover it or for its use. See all the
Tx:20.5  the body or to cover it or for its use. See all the useless things  made for its eyes to see. Think on the many offerings made for its
Tx:20.5  useless things made for its eyes to see. Think on the many offerings  made for its pleasure and remember all these were made to make seem
Tx:20.5  the many offerings made for its pleasure and remember all these were  made to make seem lovely what you hate. Would you employ this hated
Tx:20.6 Gifts are not  made through bodies if they be truly given and received. For bodies
Tx:20.16  a shift in perception or a belief that what was so before has been  made different. Every adjustment is therefore a distortion and calls
Tx:20.18  any difference between yourself and it in your perception, which  made them both.
Tx:20.19  question yet remains and needs an answer. Do you like what you have  made—a world of murder and attack through which you thread your
Tx:20.19  wait a little longer before it overtakes you and you disappear? You  made this up. It is a picture of what you think you are, of how you

Tx:20.22 The world believes in sin, but the belief that  made it as you see it is not outside you. Seek not to make the Son of
Tx:20.22  the Holy Spirit offered and you accepted. For there the stranger is  made homeless and you are welcome.

Tx:20.30 Your insane laws were  made to guarantee that you would make mistakes and give them power
Tx:20.38  You give to one another for everyone, and in your gift is everyone  made glad. Forget not Who has given you the gifts you give, and
Tx:20.45  is one of perfect union and unbroken continuity. The one he  made is partial, self-centered, broken into fragments, and full of
Tx:20.45  Father is wholly self-encompassing and self-extending. The one he  made is wholly self-destructive and self-limiting.
Tx:20.50  home of the idolater and of love's condemnation. For here is love  made fearful and hope abandoned. Even the idols that are worshiped
Tx:20.52  with God unholy seemed to be possible, all your relationships were  made meaningless. In that unholy instant, time was born and bodies
Tx:20.52  made meaningless. In that unholy instant, time was born and bodies  made to house the mad idea and give it the illusion of reality. And
Tx:20.55 The body is the ego's idol; the belief in sin  made flesh and then projected outward. This produces what seems to be
Tx:20.66  did not make, for it was given him to see, as was the vision which  made his seeing possible.
Tx:20.67  saved for you. Vision would not be necessary had judgment not been  made. Desire now its whole undoing, and it is done for you.
Tx:20.68  given you, so will be its effects. And as its holy purpose was not  made by you, the means by which its happy end is yours is also not of
Tx:20.69  the Son of God in your relationship, nor see in him what you have  made of him.

Tx:21.2  these two decisions. And you will see the witness to the choice you  made and learn from this to recognize which one you chose. [The world
Tx:21.12  their Creator gives praise to them as well. The blindness which they  made will not withstand the memory of this song. And they will look
Tx:21.26 It is as needful that you recognize you  made the world you see as that you recognize that you did not create
Tx:21.26  Creator has any influence over you. And if you think what you have  made can tell you what you see and feel and place your faith in its
Tx:21.26  to do so, you are denying your Creator and believing that you  made yourself. For if you think the world you made has power to make
Tx:21.26  and believing that you made yourself. For if you think the world you  made has power to make you what it wills, you are confusing Son and
Tx:21.27  and cannot serve to justify the madness. Your brother thinks he  made the world with you. Thus he denies creation. With you, he thinks
Tx:21.27  with you. Thus he denies creation. With you, he thinks the world he  made, made him. Thus he denies he made it.
Tx:21.27  you. Thus he denies creation. With you, he thinks the world he made,  made him. Thus he denies he made it.
Tx:21.27  With you, he thinks the world he made, made him. Thus he denies he  made it.
Tx:21.28  you, keeping you from each other and separate from your Father, you  made in secret, and the instant of release has come to you. All its
Tx:21.33  his illusions about himself. For faith, perception, and belief you  made as means for losing certainty and finding sin. This mad
Tx:21.33  direction was your choice, and by your faith in what you chose, you  made what you desired.
Tx:21.34  He sees the means you use but not the purpose for which you  made them. He would not take them from you, for He sees their value
Tx:21.34  for He sees their value as a means for what He wills for you. You  made perception that you might choose among your brothers and seek
Tx:21.40 The body was  made to be a sacrifice to sin, and in the darkness so it still is
Tx:21.40  produced them and can use them still to save itself from what it  made.
Tx:21.46  of the sane. You have perceived the ego's madness and not been  made afraid because you did not choose to share in it. At times it
Tx:21.48  matters it to you how loudly it is proclaimed? The senseless is not  made meaningful by repetition and by clamor. The quiet way is open.
Tx:21.50  and far more powerful than you. And you will think the world you  made directs your destiny. For this will be your faith. But never
Tx:21.58  fail to lead to changed perception. And in this change is room  made way for vision. Vision extends beyond itself, as does the
Tx:21.74  sin would dare believe he has no enemy? Could he admit that no one  made him powerless? Reason would surely bid him seek no longer what
Tx:21.81  other three except in time. The others are decisions which can be  made and then unmade and made again. But truth is constant and
Tx:21.81  time. The others are decisions which can be made and then unmade and  made again. But truth is constant and implies a state where
Tx:21.82  question “yes,” you add sincerity to the decisions you have already  made to all the rest. For only then have you renounced the option to
Tx:21.83  be asked so often, if they had? Until the last decision has been  made, the answer is both “yes” and “no.” For you have answered “yes”
Tx:21.88  Yet he will ask because desire is a request, an asking for, and  made by one whom God Himself will never fail to answer. God has
Tx:21.89  you would answer the final question. Your answer to the others has  made it possible to help you be but partially insane. And yet it is
Tx:22.1  and one the other cannot understand. Brothers, it is the same,  made by the same, and forgiven for its maker in the same way.
Tx:22.7  that you are something else, this “something else” which you have  made to be yourself became your sight. Yet it must be the “something
Tx:22.8  attraction of guilt is only fear. Here is the one emotion that you  made, whatever it may seem to be. This is the emotion of secrecy, of
Tx:22.8  emotion that keeps you blind, dependent on the self you think you  made to lead you through the world it made for you.
Tx:22.8  on the self you think you made to lead you through the world it  made for you.
Tx:22.9  to you. What needs interpretation must be alien. Nor will it ever be  made understandable by an interpreter you cannot understand.
Tx:22.14 Here is the first direct perception that you have  made. You made it through awareness older than perception and yet
Tx:22.14 Here is the first direct perception that you have made. You  made it through awareness older than perception and yet reborn in
Tx:22.21  in this course, for here the separation of you and the ego must be  made complete. For if you have the means to let the Holy Spirit's
Tx:22.21  done. You know what your Creator wills is possible, but what you  made believes it is not so. Now must you choose between yourself and
Tx:22.21  There is no point in trying to avoid this one decision. It must be  made. Faith and belief can fall to either side, but reason tells you
Tx:22.23  your understanding, but when must be your choice. For time you  made, and time you can command. You are no more a slave to time than
Tx:22.23  can command. You are no more a slave to time than to the world you  made.
Tx:22.24 Let us look closer at the whole illusion that what you  made has power to enslave its maker. This is the same belief that
Tx:22.24  and oppose His Will, would it be possible that the self he  made and all it made should be his master.
Tx:22.24  His Will, would it be possible that the self he made and all it  made should be his master.
Tx:22.25  the decision that it must be healed and not with fear. Nothing you  made has any power over you unless you still would be apart from your
Tx:22.25  His Son could be His enemy does it seem possible that what you  made is yours. You would condemn His joy to misery and make Him
Tx:22.25  His joy to misery and make Him different. And all the misery you  made has been your own. Are you not glad to learn it is not true? Is
Tx:22.25  Is it not welcome news to hear not one of the illusions that you  made replaced the truth?
Tx:22.32  here is its own stability, its heavy anchor in the shifting world it  made—the rock on which its church is built and where its worshipers
Tx:22.33  The body's eyes see only form. They cannot see beyond what they were  made to see. And they were made to look on error and not see past it.
Tx:22.33  They cannot see beyond what they were made to see. And they were  made to look on error and not see past it. Theirs is indeed a strange
Tx:22.33  it were a solid wall see truly? It is held back by form, having been  made to guarantee that nothing else but form will be perceived.
Tx:22.34 These eyes,  made not to see, will never see. For the idea they represent left not
Tx:22.39  you can go back and make the other choice. This is not so. A choice  made with the power of Heaven to uphold it cannot be undone. Your way
Tx:22.52  as He is sure of His Creator's love. He knows this mad decision was  made by one as dear to His Creator as love is to itself.
Tx:23.12  Both are not true. And so it matters not what form they take. What  made them is insane, and they remain part of what made them. Madness
Tx:23.12  they take. What made them is insane, and they remain part of what  made them. Madness holds out no menace to reality and has no
Tx:23.15  the more real, and vanquisher of the illusion that was less real,  made an illusion by defeat. Thus, conflict is the choice between
Tx:23.19  and to attack the truth. Here are the laws that rule the world you  made. And yet they govern nothing and need not be broken; merely
Tx:23.23  defeat. And fear of God and of each other now appears as sensible,  made real by what the Son of God has done both to himself and his
Tx:23.25  be at war with Him and justified in its attack. And now is conflict  made inevitable and beyond the help of God. And now salvation must
Tx:23.28 All of the mechanisms of madness are seen emerging here: the “enemy,”  made strong by keeping hidden the valuable inheritance which should
Tx:23.31 Never is your possession  made complete. And never will your brother cease his attack on you
Tx:23.31  solid. And it is here you look for meaning. These are the laws you  made for your salvation. They hold in place the substitute for Heaven
Tx:23.31  for Heaven which you prefer. This is their purpose; they were  made for this. There is no point in asking what they mean. That is
Tx:24.4  outcomes have been reached, and meaningless decisions have been  made and kept hidden to become beliefs, now given power to direct all
Tx:24.8  have meaning where the goal is triumph? And what decision can be  made for this that will not hurt you? Your brother is your friend
Tx:24.10  your Father does not share with you. For your relationship has been  made clean of special goals. And would you now defeat the goal of
Tx:24.14 Specialness is the idea of sin  made real. Sin is impossible even to imagine without this base. For
Tx:24.14  “savior,” the “creator” who creates unlike the Father and which  made His Son like to itself and not like unto Him. His “special” sons
Tx:24.17  as like to him as he is to his Father. And all the world he  made and all his specialness and all the sins he held in its defense
Tx:24.19  only friend to what is real in you. Not one attack you thought you  made on him has taken from him the gift that God would have him give
Tx:24.24 The hope of specialness makes it seem possible God  made the body as the prison-house which keeps His Son from Him. For
Tx:24.27 Whatever form of specialness you cherish, you have  made sin. Inviolate it stands, strongly defended with all your puny
Tx:24.31  Forgive the Holy One the specialness He could not give and which you  made instead.
Tx:24.32  not make their dream reality. Curse God and die, but not by Him Who  made not death, but only in the dream. Open your eyes a little; see
Tx:24.41  interchanged, for here the maker of the dream believes that what he  made is happening to him. He does not realize he picked a thread from
Tx:24.53  release you both, for holiness is quite impartial, with one judgment  made for all it looks upon. And that is made, not of itself, but
Tx:24.53  impartial, with one judgment made for all it looks upon. And that is  made, not of itself, but through the Voice that speaks for God in
Tx:24.61  your brother's body than his holiness, be sure you understand what  made this judgment. Here is the voice of specialness heard clearly,
Tx:24.62  of God, not snatch it from Him. What is this son that you have  made to be your strength? What is this child of earth on whom such
Tx:24.66  what He created safe. You cannot touch it with the false ideas you  made because it was created not by you. Let not your foolish fancies
Tx:24.69  ready. Here are the means and purpose separate because they were so  made and so perceived. And therefore do we deal with them as if they
Tx:24.71 Thus is the body  made a theory of yourself with no provisions made for evidence beyond
Tx:24.71 Thus is the body made a theory of yourself with no provisions  made for evidence beyond itself and no escape within its sight. Its
Tx:24.71  and shared His purpose, so does the body testify to the idea that  made it and speak for its reality and truth.
Tx:24.72 And thus are two sons  made, and both appear to walk this earth without a meeting-place and
Tx:25.1  is within a frame of holiness whose only purpose is that He may be  made manifest to those who know Him not, that He may call to them to
Tx:25.20  creation as the perfect Father that He is. And so His joy is  made complete when any part of Him joins in His praise, to share His
Tx:25.22  of you. His Will is brought together as you join in will that you be  made complete by offering completion to your brother. See not in him
Tx:25.25  one law because it has but one Creator. But this world has two who  made it, and they do not see it as the same. To each it has a
Tx:25.26  Son, even in error. There is another purpose in the world that error  made because it has another Maker Who can reconcile its goal with His
Tx:25.28  you to see the workings of the Helper given you to see the world He  made, instead of yours.
Tx:25.29  are the same. And when you see them as the same, your choice is  made. For it is seeing them as one that brings release from the
Tx:25.30  forgiven, sin's perception must have been wrong. And thus is change  made possible. The Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far beyond
Tx:25.38  must you not be fearful of yourself? For you have hurt yourself and  made your Self your “enemy.” And now you must believe you are not you
Tx:25.39  plaintive call, unchanged in content in whatever form the call is  made, that you unite with him and join with him in innocence and
Tx:25.42  from the pain of hell. But in the love he shows himself is God  made free to let His Will be done. In each of you, you see the
Tx:25.46  Holy Spirit's kind perception of specialness—His use of what you  made, to heal instead of harm. To each He gives a special function in
Tx:25.48  He has a special part in time, for so he chose, and choosing it, he  made it for himself. His wish was not denied but changed in form to
Tx:25.48  means for his salvation from the very instant that the choice was  made. His special sin was made his special grace. His special hate
Tx:25.48  from the very instant that the choice was made. His special sin was  made his special grace. His special hate became his special love.
Tx:25.49  special value here. You wanted it, and it is given you. All that you  made can serve salvation easily and well. The Son of God can make no
Tx:25.56  those who are insane requires special choice. Nor can this choice be  made by the insane, whose problem is their choices are not free and
Tx:25.56  made by the insane, whose problem is their choices are not free and  made with reason in the light of sense.
Tx:25.59  they are all the same, without the differences which would have  made a hell of Heaven and a heaven of hell, had such insanity been
Tx:25.61  your special function has a part. For here your special function is  made whole because it shares the function of the whole.
Tx:25.66  form it takes. Justice demands no sacrifice, for any sacrifice is  made that sin may be preserved and kept. It is a payment offered for
Tx:25.72  brings joy to Him as well as you. He knows that Heaven is richer  made by each one you accept. And God rejoices as His Son receives
Tx:25.80  loss to anyone has not resolved the problem but has added to it and  made it greater, harder to resolve, and more unfair. It is impossible
Tx:26.4 The body is a loss and can be  made to sacrifice. And while you see your brother as a body, apart
Tx:26.9  function but to release the holy Son of God from the imprisonment he  made to keep himself from justice? Could your function be a task
Tx:26.14  to solve or judge that it is one which has no resolution, you have  made it great and past the hope of healing. You deny the miracle of
Tx:26.19  borderland is just beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every thought  made pure and wholly simple. Here is sin denied and everything that
Tx:26.20  imply a limited reality, a partial truth, a segment of the universe  made true. This is because knowledge makes no attack upon perception.
Tx:26.20  they are temporary, out of place, and every choice has been already  made.
Tx:26.21  lies the difference between the worlds. In this one, choice is  made impossible. In the real world is choosing simplified.
Tx:26.22  what is different, leaving room to make the only choice which can be  made.
Tx:26.23  where no choice really is. The real world is the area of choice  made real, not in the outcome but in the perception of alternatives
Tx:26.27  For here is what was lost restored to them and all their radiance  made whole again.
Tx:26.30  remains and choice is meaningful. For never will another road be  made except the way to Heaven. You but choose whether to go toward
Tx:26.32 God gave His Teacher to replace the one you  made, not to conflict with it. And what He would replace has been
Tx:26.32  and everything exactly as it was before the way to nothingness was  made. The tiny tick of time in which the first mistake was made, and
Tx:26.32  was made. The tiny tick of time in which the first mistake was  made, and all of them within that one mistake, held also the
Tx:26.35  in sin, is that one instant still called back, as if it could be  made again in time. You keep an ancient memory before your eyes. And
Tx:26.37  which points to it as real is but a wish that what is gone could be  made real again and seen as here and now in place of what is really
Tx:26.37  instant kept, when Heaven seemed to disappear and God was feared and  made a symbol of your hate?
Tx:26.40  to die instead of live. And will you not forgive him now because he  made an error in the past that God remembers not and is not there?
Tx:26.44  to hurt, but just because you have denied it is but an illusion and  made it real. And it is real to you. It is not nothing and through
Tx:26.48  see, because perception is a wish fulfilled. Perception changes,  made to take the place of changeless knowledge. Yet is truth
Tx:26.52  correction to impossibility. Yet the belief that it is real has  made some errors seem forever past the hope of healing and the
Tx:26.59  arose. Here is the firm conviction that ideas can leave their source  made real and meaningful. And from this error does the world of sin
Tx:26.61  of sacrifice. If loss in any form is possible, then is God's Son  made incomplete and not himself. [Nor will he know himself nor
Tx:26.61  nor recognize his will.] He has forsworn his Father and himself and  made them both his enemies in hate.
Tx:26.62 Illusions serve the purpose they were  made to serve. And from their purpose, they derive whatever meaning
Tx:26.62  meaning that they seem to have. God gave to all illusions that were  made another purpose that would justify a miracle, whatever form they
Tx:26.70  that the risk of loss is great between the time its purpose is  made yours and its effects will come to you. In this form is the
Tx:26.80  lights grow ever brighter as each one comes home. The incomplete is  made complete again, and Heaven's joy has been increased because what
Tx:26.84  with Him, never separate. And They give thanks that They are welcome  made at last. Where stood a cross stands now the risen Christ, and
Tx:27.2 In your release from sacrifice is his  made manifest and shown to be his own. But every pain you suffer do
Tx:27.2  a living symbol of his guilt, for you will not escape the death you  made for him. But in his innocence, you find your own.
Tx:27.5  to the guilt in him which you perceived and loved. Now in the hands  made gentle by His touch, the Holy Spirit lays a picture of a
Tx:27.10  now it witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose being open and the mind  made free again to choose what it is for. Now is it not condemned,
Tx:27.12  know its purpose. You but gave illusions of a purpose to a thing you  made to hide your function from yourself. This thing without a
Tx:27.19  your brother with no blood upon his hands nor guilt upon his heart  made heavy with the proof of sin. And what you wish is given you to
Tx:27.27  divided and distinct for each of you preserves your Self from being  made aware of any function other than Its own. And thus is healing
Tx:27.32  the truth to enter and to make itself at home. No preparation can be  made that would enhance the invitation's real appeal. For what you
Tx:27.39  And which can bring escape from all the pain of which this world is  made?” Whatever form the question takes, its purpose is the same. It
Tx:27.43  can bring the question to the answer and receive the answer that was  made for you.
Tx:27.50  the differences you see. The total transfer of your learning is not  made by you. But that it has been made in spite of all the
Tx:27.50  transfer of your learning is not made by you. But that it has been  made in spite of all the differences you see convinces you that they
Tx:27.51  one of them has been escaped. It cannot be their differences which  made this possible, for learning does not jump from situations to
Tx:27.60  is need that you be healed, because the suffering of the world has  made it deaf to its salvation and deliverance.
Tx:27.63  but has been obscured by heavy clouds of complication which were  made to keep the problem unresolved? Without the clouds, the problem
Tx:27.64 The “reasoning” by which the world is  made, on which it rests, by which it is maintained, is simply this:
Tx:27.65  And thus he suffers from the wounds a knife he does not hold has  made upon himself. This is the purpose of the world he sees. And
Tx:27.70  between exactly as they are and where they are. What choices can be  made between two states, but one of which is clearly recognized? Who
Tx:27.73  Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son and  made him think that he has lost his innocence, denied his Father, and
Tx:27.73  him think that he has lost his innocence, denied his Father, and  made war upon himself. So fearful is the dream, so seeming real, he
Tx:27.77  central place in every dream, which tells the story of how it was  made by other bodies, born into the world outside the body, lives a
Tx:27.83 A timelessness in which is time  made real; a part of God which can attack itself; a separate brother
Tx:28.1  immediate effects. This world was over long ago. The thoughts that  made it are no longer in the mind that thought of them and loved them
Tx:28.2  now and still were there to see. Memory, like perception, is a skill  made up by you to take the place of what God gave in your creation.
Tx:28.2  place of what God gave in your creation. And like all the things you  made, it can be used to serve another purpose and to be the means for
Tx:28.3  Him, without the content and the purposes for which they have been  made. They are but skills without an application. They await their
Tx:28.4  If you would have it there, then there it is. But only your desire  made the link, and only you have held it to a part of time where
Tx:28.5  all the body's past is hidden there. All of the strange associations  made to keep the past alive, the present dead, are stored within it,
Tx:28.6  the present, which is but a consequence in which no change can be  made possible because its cause has gone. Yet change must have a
Tx:28.6  a cause that will endure or else it will not last. No change can be  made in the present if its cause is past. Only the past is held in
Tx:28.7  Let not the cause that you would give them now be what it was which  made them what they were or seemed to be. Be glad that it is gone,
Tx:28.13  is now remembered is not fear, but rather is the cause that fear was  made to render unremembered and undone. The stillness speaks in
Tx:28.14  Cause and Its benign effects. Now does he understand what he has  made is causeless, making no effects at all. He has done nothing. And
Tx:28.16  and yet without effects there is no cause. The cause a cause is  made by its effects; the Father is a father by His Son. Effects do
Tx:28.20  your own. It does not ask you make another—only that you see you  made the one you would exchange for this. This world is causeless, as
Tx:28.22  with illusions. No one is afraid of them when he perceives he  made them up. The fear was held in place because he did not see that
Tx:28.23  them since He was no longer their Creator. In the dream, the dreamer  made himself, but what he made has turned against him, taking on the
Tx:28.23  their Creator. In the dream, the dreamer made himself, but what he  made has turned against him, taking on the role of its creator as the
Tx:28.26 The miracle returns the cause of fear to you who  made it. But it also shows that, having no effects, it is not cause
Tx:28.26  Thus is the body healed by miracles because they show the mind  made sickness and employed the body to be victim or effect of what it
Tx:28.26  sickness and employed the body to be victim or effect of what it  made. Yet half the lesson will not teach the whole. The miracle is
Tx:28.28  Here is where we must begin. And having started, will the way be  made serene and simple in the rising up to waking and the ending of
Tx:28.31  purpose of the gap is all the cause that sickness has. For it was  made to keep you separated in a body which you see as if it were the
Tx:28.32  unsubstantial as the empty place between the ripples that a ship has  made in passing by. And covered just as fast, as water rushes in to
Tx:28.39  persist, but as a mind which brother is to you. He is not brother  made by what he dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the dream, your
Tx:28.42  dreams will [disappear before his eyes], and he will understand what  made the dream.
Tx:28.48  if you forgive the dreamer and perceive that he is not the dream he  made. And so he cannot be a part of yours, from which you both are
Tx:28.50  safety lies and where your Self is safely hidden by what you have  made. Here is a world established that is sick, and this the world
Tx:28.50  Here are the sounds it hears—the voices which its ears were  made to hear. Yet sights and sounds the body can perceive are
Tx:28.51  eyes behold a dream, your ears bear witness to illusion. They were  made to look upon a world that is not there, to hear the voices that
Tx:28.52  because it shares the function all creation shares. It is not  made of little bits of glass, a piece of wood, a thread or two
Tx:28.54  gap is seen, and yet it is not here. It has not judged itself nor  made itself to be what it is not. It does not seek to make of pain a
Tx:28.55  it does not hate. It can be used for hate, but it cannot be hateful  made thereby.
Tx:28.56  And then you hate it, not for what it is, but for the uses you have  made of it. You shrink from what it sees and what it hears and hate
Tx:28.56  your hatred for the limitations which it brings to you. Yet you have  made of it a symbol for the limitations which you want your mind to
Tx:28.57  it would your self be lost. This is the secret vow which you have  made with every brother who would walk apart. This is the secret oath
Tx:28.58  so that it will suffer pain. It is the obvious effect of what was  made in secret, in agreement with another's secret wish to be apart
Tx:28.59  promise that you make with him because it is the one which he has  made to God, as God has made to him. God keeps His promises; His Son
Tx:28.59  with him because it is the one which he has made to God, as God has  made to him. God keeps His promises; His Son keeps his. In his
Tx:28.59  promises he shares. And what he substitutes is not his will, who has  made promise of himself to God.
Tx:28.62  a straw and count on it as shelter from the wind? The body can be  made a home like this because it lacks foundation in the truth. And
Tx:28.63  miracles are based upon this choice and given you the instant it is  made. No forms of sickness are immune because the choice cannot be
Tx:28.63  made. No forms of sickness are immune because the choice cannot be  made in terms of form. The choice of sickness seems to be a form, yet
Tx:28.65 What is the sense in seeking to be safe in what was  made for danger and for fear? Why burden it with further locks and
Tx:28.66  and everything his Father promised him. No secret promise you have  made instead has shaken the Foundation of his home. The winds will
Tx:28.66  liberate God's Son unto his home. And with this holy purpose is it  made a home of holiness a little while because it shares your
Tx:29.3  Sometimes a friend, perhaps, provided that your separate interests  made your friendship possible a little while. But not without a gap
Tx:29.3  scope and carefully restricted in amount, became the treaty you had  made with him. You shared a qualified entente in which a clause of
Tx:29.4  be dividing off your separate minds. It is the symbol of a promise  made to meet when you prefer and separate until you both elect to
Tx:29.12  It has been futile to demand escape from sin and pain of what was  made to serve the function of retaining sin and pain. For pain and
Tx:29.16  it not. Yet here on earth it has a double purpose, for it can be  made to teach opposing things. And they reflect the teacher who is
Tx:29.17  no longer. He must sacrifice your self, and in His sacrifice are you  made more, and He is lessened by the loss of you. And what is gone
Tx:29.21 Think you the Father lost Himself when He created you? Was He  made weak because He shared His love? Was He made incomplete by your
Tx:29.21  He created you? Was He made weak because He shared His love? Was He  made incomplete by your perfection? Or are you the proof that He is
Tx:29.21  His Son prefers to his reality. He must be savior from the dream he  made, that he be free of it. He must see someone else as not a body,
Tx:29.26  dream, for fear is the material of dreams from which they all are  made. Their form can change, but they cannot be made of something
Tx:29.26  which they all are made. Their form can change, but they cannot be  made of something else. The miracle were treacherous indeed if it
Tx:29.27  Depression or assault must be the theme of every dream, for they are  made of fear. The thin disguise of pleasure and of joy in which they
Tx:29.36  Because unless the Holy Spirit gives the dream its function, it was  made for hate and will continue in death's services. Each form it
Tx:29.37  and separation, even though it was for this that every dream was  made. Yet nothing in the world of dreams remains without the hope of
Tx:29.39  is not where the eternal is. God's Son can never change by what men  made of him. He will be as he was and as he is, for time appointed
Tx:29.40  take this purpose as its own. Change is the only thing that can be  made a blessing here, where purpose is not fixed, however changeless
Tx:29.42  and tie your hands and kill your body only if you think that it was  made to crucify God's Son. For even though it was a dream of death,
Tx:29.48 All idols of this world were  made to keep the truth within from being known to you and to maintain
Tx:29.50  learn what time is for. And speed the end of idols in a world  made sad and sick by seeing idols there. Your holy minds are altars
Tx:29.50  of idols. It is not the fear of loss of your reality. But you have  made of your reality an idol which you must protect against the light
Tx:29.52  because you do not know what they are for and why they have been  made. An idol is an image of your brother which you would value more
Tx:29.52  your brother which you would value more than what he is. Idols are  made that he may be replaced, no matter what their form. And it is
Tx:29.54  a gap between the Christ and what you see. An idol is a wish  made tangible and given form and thus perceived as real and seen
Tx:29.57  come to die, the all-encompassing to suffer loss, the timeless to be  made the slaves of time. Here does the changeless change, the peace
Tx:29.61  idols that they raise him up? Hear then your story in the dream you  made, and ask yourself if it be not the truth that you believe that
Tx:29.61  as Himself. And in that dream was Heaven changed to hell, and God  made enemy unto His Son.
Tx:29.63 All figures in the dream are idols  made to save you from the dream. Yet they are part of what they have
Tx:29.63  to save you from the dream. Yet they are part of what they have been  made to save you from. Thus does an idol keep the dream alive and
Tx:29.63  will not escape the penalty he laid upon himself within the dream he  made. God knows of justice, not of penalty. But in the dream of
Tx:29.64  of those who play with them. But they are eager to forget that they  made up the dream in which their toys are real, nor recognize their
Tx:29.65  dreams. The toys have turned against the child who thought he  made them real. Yet can a dream attack? Or can a toy grow large and
Tx:29.66  of all the chaos in a world he thinks is governed by the laws he  made. Yet is the real world unaffected by the world he thinks is
Tx:29.68 Forgiving dreams have little need to last. They are not  made to separate the mind from what it thinks. They do not seek to
Tx:29.69  of help, a calm assurance Heaven goes with you—be sure you  made an idol and believe it will betray you. For beneath your hope
Tx:29.70  childish terrors melt away and dreams become a sign that you have  made a new beginning, not another try to worship idols and to keep
Tx:30.29  not make decisions by yourself whatever you decide. For they are  made with idols or with God. And you ask help of Christ or
Tx:30.31  or the Voice for God. Decisions cause results because they are not  made in isolation. They are made by you and your advisor for yourself
Tx:30.31  cause results because they are not made in isolation. They are  made by you and your advisor for yourself and for the world as well.
Tx:30.34  reminded of His love and learn your will. God would not have His Son  made prisoner to what he does not want. He joins with you in willing
Tx:30.36  is done to God Himself. Think not He wills to bind you, Who has  made you co-creator of the universe along with Him. He would but keep
Tx:30.40  And thus it would be necessary for the search for wholeness to be  made beyond the boundaries of limits on yourself.
Tx:30.41  no meaning. And your will could not be satisfied with empty forms  made but to fill a gap which is not there. It is not this you want.
Tx:30.49 You will attack what does not satisfy, and thus you will not see you  made it up. You always fight illusions. For the truth behind them is
Tx:30.49  The truth could never be attacked. And this you knew when you  made idols. They were made that this might be forgotten. You attack
Tx:30.49  never be attacked. And this you knew when you made idols. They were  made that this might be forgotten. You attack but false ideas and
Tx:30.49  ideas and never truthful ones. All idols are the false ideas you  made to fill the gap you think arose between yourself and what is
Tx:30.50 The wearying, dissatisfying gods you  made are blown-up children's toys. A child is frightened when a
Tx:30.50  woolly bear begins to squeak as he takes hold of it. The rules he  made for boxes and for bears have failed him and have broken his
Tx:30.50  the bears did not deceive him, broke no rules, nor mean his world is  made chaotic and unsafe. He was mistaken. He misunderstood what made
Tx:30.50  is made chaotic and unsafe. He was mistaken. He misunderstood what  made him safe and thought that it had left.
Tx:30.51  likes to play with them, he still perceives them as obeying rules he  made for his enjoyment. So there still are rules which they can seem
Tx:30.53  bring fear because they hide the truth. Do not attack what you have  made to let you be deceived, for thus you prove that you have been
Tx:30.53  to make illusions real. Yet what it makes is nothing. Who could be  made fearful by a power that can have no real effects at all? What
Tx:30.56  not there begins to be perceived without the toys of terror that you  made. No more than this is asked. Be glad indeed salvation asks so
Tx:30.57  “gifts” are not held dear. No rules are idly set, and no demands are  made of anyone or anything to twist and fit into the dream of fear.
Tx:30.59  he will go beyond forgiveness, and he but remains until it is  made perfect in himself. He has no wish for anything but this. And
Tx:30.59  Yet is he glad to wait till every hand is joined and every heart  made ready to arise and go with him. For thus is he made ready for
Tx:30.59  and every heart made ready to arise and go with him. For thus is he  made ready for the step in which is all forgiveness left behind.
Tx:30.70  has no foundation. It is here escape from fear begins and will be  made complete. Here is the real world given in exchange for dreams of
Tx:30.70  your pardon will become the answer to attack that has been  made. And thus is pardon inappropriate, by being granted where it is
Tx:30.83  advance, retreat, and gain and loss. These judgments all are  made according to the roles the script assigns. The fact they have no
Tx:30.83  by the ease with which these labels change with other judgments  made on different aspects of experience. And then in looking back you
Tx:30.94  temptation to prefer a dream allow uncertainty to enter here. Be not  made guilty and afraid when you are tempted by a dream of what he is.
Tx:30.94  You but behold your Self in what you see. As he is healed are you  made free of guilt, for his appearance is your own to you.
Tx:31.3  skill. There is no greater power in the world. The world was  made by it and even now depends on nothing else. The lessons you have
Tx:31.5 Learning is an ability you  made and gave yourselves. It was not made to do the Will of God but

Tx:31.6  in every moment of each day, since time began and learning had been  made?
Tx:31.8  nor left unanswered in the selfsame tongue in which the call was  made. And you will understand it was this call that everyone and
Tx:31.8  this call that everyone and everything within the world has always  made, but you had not perceived it as it was. And now you see you
Tx:31.14  would establish truth. And by your wish, you set two choices to be  made each time you think you must decide on anything. Neither is
Tx:31.14  one alternative that is a different choice. But not in dreams you  made that this might be obscured to you.
Tx:31.16  you arise and give away the role of leadership. And this is what you  made your brother for and learned to think that this his purpose is.
Tx:31.22  thought of what you ever learned before and put aside all images you  made. The old will fall away before the new without your opposition
Tx:31.22  will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call that never has been  made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy place to which you come to
Tx:31.25  these are but appearances of what the journey is and how it must be  made. For next to you is One Who holds the light before you so that
Tx:31.25  to you is One Who holds the light before you so that every step is  made in certainty and sureness of the road. A blindfold can indeed

Tx:31.34  its alternatives. Seek not escape from problems here. The world was  made that problems could not be escaped. Be not deceived by all the
Tx:31.41  What road in all the world will lead within, when every road was  made to separate the journey from the purpose it must have unless it
Tx:31.42  be a road with such an aim! Where could it go? And how could you be  made to travel on it, walking there without your own reality at one
Tx:31.44 A concept of the self is  made by you. It bears no likeness to yourself at all. It is an idol,
Tx:31.44  made by you. It bears no likeness to yourself at all. It is an idol,  made to take the place of your reality as Son of God. The concept of
Tx:31.44  world would teach is not the thing that it appears to be. For it is  made to serve two purposes, but one of which the mind can recognize.
Tx:31.47  face of innocence there is a lesson that the concept of the self was  made to teach. It is a lesson in a terrible displacement and a fear
Tx:31.47  the treachery it hides. The lesson teaches this: “I am the thing you  made of me, and as you look on me, you stand condemned because of
Tx:31.49  learning, they do not exist. They are not given, and they must be  made. Not one of them is true, and many come from feverish
Tx:31.49  cannot be used to demonstrate the world is real. For all of them are  made within the world, born in its shadow, growing in its ways, and
Tx:31.51  us consider then what proof there is that you are what your brother  made of you. For even though you do not yet perceive that this is
Tx:31.51  it came what you should do in every circumstance? He must have  made the world as well as you to have such prescience in the things
Tx:31.52 That you are what your brother  made of you seems most unlikely. Even if he did, who gave the face of
Tx:31.52  to you? Is this your contribution? Who is, then, the “you” who  made it? And who is deceived by all your goodness and attacks it so?
Tx:31.52  If the world be evil, there is still no need to hide what you are  made of. Who is there to see? And what but is attacked could need
Tx:31.56  it thinks reflects the deep confusion that it feels about how it was  made and what it is. And vaguely does the concept of the self appear
Tx:31.59  concept has been raised to doubt and question and been recognized as  made on no assumptions which would stand the light, then is the truth
Tx:31.65  given you by which to see the world that will replace the one you  made. Your will be done! In Heaven as on earth, this is forever true.
Tx:31.71  think, for you will love this concept of yourself because it was not  made for you alone. Born as a gift for someone not perceived to be
Tx:31.80  is as innocent of what your brother is as it is free of any judgment  made upon yourself. It sees no past in anyone at all. And thus it
Tx:31.87  lessons which you failed to learn presented once again, so where you  made a faulty choice before, you now can make a better one and thus
Tx:31.91  as fear and agony appeared to be before the choice for holiness was  made. For in that choice are false distinctions gone, illusory
Tx:31.94  will hear, and you will choose again. And in this choice is everyone  made free.
W1:10.1  to all of them is that they are not your real thoughts. We have  made this distinction before and will again. You have no basis for
W1:10.2  with “My thoughts” instead of “These thoughts” and no link is  made overtly with the things around you. The emphasis is now on the
W1:11.1  the idea in this initial form, for in this idea is your release  made sure. The key to forgiveness lies in it.
W1:15.1  them, and so you think you see them. This is how your “seeing” was  made. This is the function you have given your body's eyes. It is not
W1:15.5 This _____is an image which I have  made. That _____is an image which I have made.
W1:15.5  an image which I have made. That _____is an image which I have  made.
W1:22.2  real? Is it not a happy discovery to find that you can escape? You  made what you would destroy—everything that you hate and would
W1:23.4 You see the world which you have  made, but you do not see yourself as the image-maker. You cannot be
W1:23.4  and so transform them that you will love them even though they were  made of hate. For you will not be making them alone.
W1:28.10 Each application should be  made quite slowly and as thoughtfully as possible. There is no hurry.

W1:44.5  everything that you now believe and all the thoughts which you have  made up. Properly speaking, this is the release from hell. Perceived
W1:51.3  It is merely an illusion of reality, because my judgments have been  made quite apart from reality. I am willing to recognize the lack of
W1:51.4  being willing to do so. Is not this a better choice than the one I  made before?
W1:51.5  the thoughts I think with God. I am not aware of them because I have  made my thoughts to take their place. I am willing to recognize that
W1:52.2  it is always because I have replaced reality with illusions which I  made up. The illusions are upsetting because I have given them
W1:53.6 [15] My thoughts are images which I have  made. Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. It is my thoughts which
W1:53.6  light on what I see. Yet God's way is sure. The images I have  made cannot prevail against Him because it is not my will that they
W1:56.3  world I see attests to the fearful nature of the self-image I have  made. If I would remember who I am, it is essential that I let this
W1:56.5 [29] God is in everything I see. Behind every image I have  made, the truth remains unchanged. Behind every veil I have drawn
W1:57.3 [32] I have invented the world I see. I  made up the prison in which I see myself. All I need do is recognize
W1:57.5  that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules which I  made up for it to obey. I will understand that peace, not war, abides
W1:61.1  or of self-deception. It does not describe the self-concept you have  made. It does not refer to any of the characteristics with which you
W1:61.4  and therefore to all temptation. It brings all the images you have  made about yourself to the truth and helps you depart in peace,
W1:64.2  that the Holy Spirit has another use for all the illusions you have  made, and therefore He sees another purpose in them. To the Holy
W1:64.10 In the frequent applications of today's idea to be  made throughout the day, devote several minutes to reviewing these
W1:66.9  are only two parts of your mind. One is ruled by the ego and is  made up of illusions. The other is the home of the Holy Spirit, where
W1:66.10  be that your function is established by God through His Voice or is  made by the ego which you have made to replace Him. Which is true?
W1:66.10  by God through His Voice or is made by the ego which you have  made to replace Him. Which is true? Unless God gave your function to
W1:72.2  and unable to reach other minds except through the body which was  made to imprison it. The limit on communication cannot be the best
W1:72.7  seek for prey and mercy cannot enter, the ego comes to save you. God  made you a body. Very well. Let us accept this and be glad. As a
W1:75.7  mind, washed of all past ideas and clean of every concept you have  made. You have forgiven the world today. You can look upon it now as
W1:76.6  over until you realize that it applies to everything that you have  made in opposition to His Will. Your magic has no meaning. What it is
W1:76.10  of God. Payment is neither given nor received. Exchange cannot be  made, there are no substitutes, and nothing is replaced by something
W1:77.3  to you. You have been promised full release from the world you  made. You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is within you and
W1:78.3  been. He stands in light, but you were in the dark. Each grievance  made the darkness deeper, and you could not see.
W1:85.3 Specific applications of this idea might be  made in these forms:
W1:88.2  choose to recognize what is already here. Salvation is a decision  made already. Attack and grievances are not there to choose. That is
W1:93.2  to help you see that they are based on nothing. That you have  made mistakes is obvious. That you have sought salvation in strange
W1:93.2  of foolish fantasies and savage dreams and have bowed down to idols  made of dust—all this is true by what you now believe.
W1:93.5 The self you  made is not the Son of God. Therefore, this self does not exist at
W1:93.5  sinlessness to sin and love to hate. What power can this self you  made possess when it would contradict the Will of God?
W1:93.6  touch it nor can change what God created as eternal. The self you  made, evil and full of sin, is meaningless. Your sinlessness is
W1:93.7  of but one thought—you are as God created you, not what you  made of yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God
W1:93.7  may think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you  made, the truth about you is unchanged. Creation is eternal and
W1:93.11 You are what God created or what you  made. One Self is true; the other is not there. Try to experience the
W1:93.11  its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have  made to replace it. Let it come into its own. Here you are. This is
W1:94.5  reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self that never sinned nor  made an image to replace reality. This is the Self which never left
W1:95.10  fail to comply with the requirements of this course, you have merely  made a mistake. This calls for correction and for nothing else.
W1:96.3  be resolved, and good and evil have no meeting place. The self you  made can never be your Self, nor can your Self be split in two and
W1:98.4  today will gladly offer us all that they learned and every gain they  made. Those still uncertain too will join with us and, borrowing our

W1:110.1  if you believed that it is true. Its truth would mean that you have  made no changes in yourself which have reality, nor changed the
W1:110.2  perfect vision which will heal all the mistakes that any mind has  made at any time or place. It is enough to heal the past and make the
W1:110.9  are as God created you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you  made to be the Son of God instead of what He is be worshiped not
W1:110.10  today, and find Him. He will be your savior from all idols you have  made. For when you find Him you will understand how worthless are
W1:115.2  My function here is to forgive the world for all the errors I have  made. For thus am I released from them with all the world.
W1:118.2  peace and joy in glad exchange for all the substitutes which I have  made for happiness and peace.
W1:121.6  in you. Through Him you learn how to forgive the self you think you  made and let it disappear. Thus you return your mind as one to Him
W1:122.9  the key within our hands, accepting Heaven's answer to the hell we  made, but where we would remain no more.
W1:123.2  of some insight into the real extent of all the gains which you have  made; the gifts you have received. Be glad today in loving
W1:123.2  alone. Be grateful He has saved you from the self you thought you  made to take the place of Him and His creation. Give Him thanks today.
W1:127.5  obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the world believes was  made to hide love's meaning and to keep it dark and secret. There is
W1:127.10  upon all who come to learn to cast aside the world they thought was  made in hate to be love's enemy. Now are they all made free along
W1:127.10  they thought was made in hate to be love's enemy. Now are they all  made free along with us. Now are they all our brothers in God's Love.
W1:129.11  seen its opposite at last, and we are grateful that the choice is  made. Remember your decision hourly, and take a moment to confirm
W1:130.4 Fear has  made everything you think you see. All separation, all distinctions,
W1:130.4  you believe make up the world. They are not there. Love's enemy has  made them up. Yet love can have no enemy, and so they have no cause,
W1:130.6  where none is possible. The world you see is proof you have already  made a choice as all-embracing as its opposite. What we would learn
W1:130.10  ever seen before. And you will know God's strength upheld as you  made this choice.
W1:131.3  heart you pray for danger and protection for the little dream you  made.
W1:131.8 Heaven remains your one alternative to this strange world you  made and all its ways—its shifting patterns and uncertain goals,
W1:131.8  and uncertain goals, its painful pleasures, and its tragic joys. God  made no contradictions. What denies its own existence and attacks
W1:131.10  denies himself and contradicts what has no opposite. He thinks he  made a hell opposing Heaven and believes that he abides in what does
W1:131.13  a different world and think a different kind of thought from those I  made. The world I seek I did not make alone. The thoughts I want to
W1:132.5  think you did not make the world but came unwillingly to what was  made already, hardly waiting for your thoughts to give it meaning.
W1:132.6  the lesson for today. It is not pride which tells you that you  made the world you see and that it changes as you change your mind.
W1:132.12  His thought by which you were created, so it is your thoughts which  made it and must set it free that you may know the thoughts you share
W1:132.14 There is no world because it is a thought apart from God and  made to separate the Father and the Son and break away a part of God
W1:133.5  so clearly to the place where there is but one choice that must be  made.
W1:134.12  would make him safe. He can remove the ponderous and useless armor  made to chain his mind to fear and misery. His step is light, and as
W1:135.4  frightening. It stems from fear, increasing fear as each defense is  made. You think it offers safety. Yet it speaks of fear made real and
W1:135.4  defense is made. You think it offers safety. Yet it speaks of fear  made real and terror justified. Is it not strange you do not pause to
W1:135.5  that is very weak and easily assaulted. It must be something  made easy prey, unable to protect itself, and needing your defense.
W1:135.13  it is achieved, nor how to recognize the problem that the plan is  made to solve. It must misuse the body in its plans until it
W1:135.15  plans are but defenses with the purpose all of them were  made to realize. They are the means by which a frightened mind would
W1:135.19  see His loving blessing shine in every step you ever took. While you  made plans for death, He led you gently to eternal life.
W1:136.3 Defenses are not unintentional nor are they  made without awareness. They are secret magic wands you wave when
W1:136.3  to use them. In that second, even less, in which the choice is  made, you recognize exactly what you would attempt to do and then
W1:136.4  But afterwards your plan requires that you must forget you  made it, so it seems to be external to your own intent—a happening
W1:136.9  You suffer pain because the body does, and in this pain are you  made one with it. Thus is your “true” identity preserved and the
W1:136.11  that Heaven quails before such mad attacks as these, with God  made blind by your illusions, truth turned into lies, and all the
W1:136.11  by your illusions, truth turned into lies, and all the universe  made slave to laws which your defenses would impose on it. Yet who
W1:136.11  would impose on it. Yet who believes illusions but the one who  made them up? Who else can see them and react to them as if they were
W1:136.14  apart from time. For time is but another meaningless defense you  made against the truth. Yet what God wills is here, and you remain as
W1:136.20  by time, by weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any laws you  made it serve before. You need do nothing now to make it well, for
W1:136.21  uncertainties to come, you have again misplaced yourself, and  made a bodily identity which will attack the body, for the mind is
W1:137.7  away all sin and the real world will occupy the place of what you  made, so healing must replace the fantasies of sickness which you
W1:137.9  practice you need undertake to let His laws replace the ones you  made to hold yourself a prisoner to death.
W1:138.4  decisions would induce. You make but one. And when that one is  made, you will perceive it was no choice at all, for truth is true
W1:138.7 So we begin today considering the choice that time was  made to help us make. Such is its holy purpose, now transformed from
W1:138.8  safe, and magically armored against truth. And these decisions are  made unaware to keep them safely undisturbed, apart from question and
W1:138.9 Heaven is chosen consciously. The choice cannot be  made until alternatives are accurately seen and understood. All that
W1:138.9  with Heaven's help, and all mistakes in judgment which the mind had  made before are open to correction as the truth dismisses them as
W1:138.11  Heaven as we wake and spend five minutes making sure that we have  made the one decision that is sane. We recognize we make a conscious
W1:138.11  and transparent in the light. It holds no terror now, for what was  made enormous, vengeful, pitiless with hate demands obscurity for
W1:138.12  close our eyes in sleep tonight, we reaffirm the choice that we have  made each hour in between. And now we give the last five minutes of
W1:139.5 It is for this denial that you need Atonement. Your denial  made no change in what you are. But you have split your mind into
W1:140.9  to which we realize that there can never be a meaningful distinction  made between what is untrue and equally untrue. Here there are no
W1:R4.5  you something else and hold correction off through self-deceptions  made to take its place.
W1:R4.12  as we review, we close as we began, repeating first the thought that  made the day a special time of blessing and of happiness for us and
W1:151.17  and happily accepts our holy thoughts which Heaven has corrected and  made pure. Now has our ministry begun at last, to carry round the
W1:152.6 Is it not strange that you believe to think you  made the world you see is arrogance? God made it not. Of this you can
W1:152.6  you believe to think you made the world you see is arrogance? God  made it not. Of this you can be sure. What can He know of the
W1:152.6  a body that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think He  made a world where such things seem to have reality. He is not mad.
W1:152.7 To think that God  made chaos, contradicts His Will, invented opposites to truth, and
W1:152.8 Let us today be truly humble and accept what we have  made as what it is. The power of decision is our own. Decide but to
W1:152.8  rightful place as co-creator of the universe, and all you think you  made will disappear. What rises to awareness then will be all that
W1:152.8  as it is now. And it will take the place of self-deceptions  made but to usurp the altar to the Father and the Son.
W1:153.4  you do in fear of it. You do not understand how much you have been  made to sacrifice who feel its iron grip upon your heart.
W1:153.5  a victim to attack by fantasies, by dreams, and by illusions he has  made; yet helpless he is in their presence, needful only of defense
W1:153.6  Perhaps you will recall the course maintains that choice is always  made between His strength and your own weakness seen apart from Him.
W1:153.13  abandoned by your Father, left alone in terror in a fearful world  made mad by sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over. Now a
W1:155.13  are worthy of His trust in you. He cannot be deceived. His trust has  made your pathway certain and your goal secure. You will not fail
W1:158.6 Here is the joining of the world of doubt and shadows  made with the intangible. Here is a quiet place within the world made
W1:158.6  made with the intangible. Here is a quiet place within the world  made holy by forgiveness and by love. Here are all contradictions
W1:159.5  its power can you safely trust to carry you from this world into one  made holy by forgiveness. Things which seem quite solid here are
W1:159.7 Here does the world remember what was lost when it was  made. For here it is repaired, made new again but in a different
W1:159.7  remember what was lost when it was made. For here it is repaired,  made new again but in a different light. What was to be the home of
W1:159.10  a forgiven world. It is His gift whereby a sweet transition can be  made from death to life, from hopelessness to hope. Let us an instant
W1:160.6  to himself can find no home wherever he may look, for he has  made return impossible. His way is lost except a miracle will search
W1:160.8  you are not a stranger to your Father, nor is your Creator stranger  made to you. Whom God has joined remains forever one, at home in Him,
W1:161.1  Christ where fear and anger had prevailed before. Here is Atonement  made complete, the world passed safely by, and Heaven now restored.
W1:161.3 Thus were specifics  made. And now it is specifics we must use in practicing. We give them
W1:161.3  different from the one we gave to them. Yet He can use but what we  made to teach us from a different point of view, so we can see a
W1:162.1  sacred, for they are the words God gave in answer to the world you  made. By them it disappears, and all things seen within its misty
W1:163.4  is the strength and might of God Himself perceived within an idol  made of dust. Here is the opposite of God proclaimed as lord of all
W1:163.8  it now in every form for their salvation and our own as well. God  made not death. Whatever form it takes must therefore be illusion.
W1:164.5  curtain to reveal what lies beyond them. Now is what is really there  made visible, while all the shadows which appeared to hide it sink to
W1:164.7  not judge today. We will receive but what is given us from judgment  made beyond the world. Our practicing today becomes our gift of
W1:165.6 Now is all doubting past, the journey's end  made certain, and salvation given you. Now is Christ's power in your
W1:166.3  presence, contradict the truth, and suffer to preserve the world he  made.
W1:166.4  the only safety he believes that he can find. Without the world he  made is he an outcast, homeless and afraid. He does not realize that
W1:166.7 This is your chosen self, the one you  made as a replacement for reality. This is the self you savagely
W1:166.12  still of one thing more you had forgotten. For His touch on you has  made you like Himself. The gifts you have are not for you alone. What
W1:167.5  But they cannot give birth to what was never given them. As they are  made, so will their making be. As they were born, so will they then
W1:170.5  mind from him who is to be attacked with perfect faith the split you  made is real.
W1:170.8  are smeared with blood and fire seems to flame from him, he is but  made of stone. He can do nothing. We need not defy his power. He has
W1:170.12  For you look for the last time upon this bit of carven stone you  made and call it god no longer. You have reached this place before,
W1:170.13  to you at last. The Call of God is heard and answered. Now has fear  made way for love, as God Himself replaces cruelty.
W1:R5.1  more surely. Our footsteps have not been unwavering, and doubts have  made us walk uncertainly and slowly on the road this course sets
W1:R5.10  you, as I do. I am incomplete without your part in me. And as I am  made whole, we go together to our ancient home, prepared for us
W1:182.3  does not understand he builds in vain. The home he seeks cannot be  made by him. There is no substitute for Heaven. All he ever made was
W1:182.3  be made by him. There is no substitute for Heaven. All he ever  made was hell.
W1:182.12  and you accept it in exchange for all the toys of battle you have  made. And now the way is open, and the journey has an end in sight at
W1:183.11  will forever give. He calls on Him to let all things he thought he  made be nameless now, and in their place the holy Name of God becomes
W1:184.1 You live by symbols. You have  made up names for everything you see. Each one becomes a separate
W1:184.4 This is the way reality is  made by partial vision, purposefully set against the given truth. Its
W1:184.8 Think not you  made the world. Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and Heaven
W1:184.12  what He has given as the answer to the pitiful inheritance you  made as fitting tribute to the Son He loves.
W1:184.15  with all living things and You Who are their One Creator. What we  made and call by many different names is but a shadow we have tried
W1:184.15  one of them. Your Name is our salvation and escape from what we  made. Your Name unites us in the Oneness which is our inheritance and
W1:187.1  can give unless he has. In fact, giving is proof of having. We have  made this point before. What seems to make it hard to credit is not
W1:187.8  very presence proves that error has arisen and correction must be  made. Your blessing will correct it. Given first to you, it now is
W1:190.11 And so again we make the only choice that ever can be  made—we choose between illusions and the truth, or pain and joy, or
W1:191.12  sleep, and opening his holy eyes return again to bless the world he  made. In error it began. But it will end in the reflection of his
W1:192.9  hold no one prisoner. Release instead of bind, for thus are you  made free. The way is simple. Every time you feel a stab of anger,
W1:193.2  at all. Yet it is He Who gives the means by which perception is  made true and beautiful enough to let the light of Heaven shine upon
W1:193.14  it off another day, another minute, or another instant. Time was  made for this. Use it today for what its purpose is. Morning and
W1:194.5  the world. Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a world  made free with him to share his holiness.
W1:194.7  again when he has been deceived, to change his mind when he has  made mistakes.
W1:195.1  he sees another suffer more? Your gratitude is due to Him alone Who  made all cause of sorrow disappear throughout the world.
W1:195.6  one with Him. And we rejoice that no exceptions ever can be  made which would reduce our wholeness nor impair or change our
W1:198.2 Condemn and you are  made a prisoner. Forgive and you are freed. Such is the law that
W1:198.13  stillness where before there was a frantic rush of thoughts that  made no sense. Now is there tranquil light across the face of earth,
W1:198.13  made no sense. Now is there tranquil light across the face of earth,  made quiet in a dreamless sleep. And now the Word of God alone
W1:198.13  longer. Then are symbols done and everything you ever thought you  made completely vanished from the mind which God forever knows to be
W1:199.1  in a body looks for it where it cannot be found. The mind can be  made free when it no longer sees itself as in a body, firmly tied to
W1:199.3  because it dwells in it and lives united with the home that it has  made. It is a part of the illusion that has sheltered it from being
W1:200.5  be bound till all the world is seen by you as blessed and everyone  made free of your mistakes and honored as he is. You made him not; no
W1:200.5  and everyone made free of your mistakes and honored as he is. You  made him not; no more yourself. And as you free the one, the other is
W1:R6.2  day. One is enough. But for that one, there must be no exceptions  made. And so we need to use them all and let them blend as one, as
W1:210.1  only joy for His beloved Son. And that I choose instead of what I  made. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
W1:213.1  A lesson is a miracle which God offers to me in place of thoughts I  made that hurt me. What I learn of Him becomes the way I am set free.
W2:I.6  us, as through Christ's vision we behold a world beyond the one we  made and take that world to be the full replacement of our own.
W2:I.8  Who is its one Creator. We have found the way He chose for us and  made the choice to follow it as He would have us go. His hand has
W2:229.2  and sinless in the midst of all the thoughts of sin my foolish mind  made up. And thanks to You for saving me from them. Amen.
W2:WS.1 Salvation is a promise  made by God that you would find your way to Him at last. It cannot
W2:235.2 Father, Your holiness is mine. Your Love created me and  made my sinlessness forever part of You. I have no guilt or sin in
W2:238.2  how dear His Son, created by His Love, remains to Him Whose Love is  made complete in him.
W2:WIW.2 The world was  made as an attack on God. It symbolizes fear. And what is fear except
W2:WIW.3  to seek. Their aim is to fulfill the purpose which the world was  made to witness and make real. They see in its illusions but a solid
W2:WIW.4 As sight was  made to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. Sounds become the
W2:WIW.5  perception. Let us not be satisfied until forgiveness has been  made complete. And let us not attempt to change our function. We must
W2:WIW.5  attempt to change our function. We must save the world. For we who  made it must behold it through the eyes of Christ, that what was made
W2:WIW.5  who made it must behold it through the eyes of Christ, that what was  made to die be restored to Everlasting Life.
W2:WIS.2 The body is the instrument the mind  made in its striving to deceive itself. Its purpose is to strive. Yet
W2:WIB.3  is born. For only love creates in truth, and truth can never fear.  Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose given it. But we
W2:WIB.4  is the means by which God's Son returns to sanity. Though it was  made to fence him into hell without escape, yet has the goal of
W2:WIB.4  Now is the body holy. Now it serves to heal the mind that it was  made to kill.
W2:263.1  life to it. And would I look upon what You created as if it could be  made sinful? I would not perceive such dark and fearful images. A
W2:269.1  return to truth. I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I  made. Today I choose to see a world forgiven in which everyone shows
W2:WIC.2  the part in which God's Answer lies, where all decisions are already  made and dreams are over. He remains untouched by anything the body's
W2:277.1  free, my Father. Let me not imagine I have bound him with the laws I  made to rule the body. He is not subject to any laws I made by which
W2:277.1  the laws I made to rule the body. He is not subject to any laws I  made by which I try to make the body more secure. He is not changed
W2:WIHS.1  laid aside. And where they were perceived before, forgiveness has  made possible perception's tranquil end.
W2:WIHS.3  turn away from His replacement for the fearful images and dreams you  made. The Holy Spirit understands the means you made, by which you
W2:WIHS.3  and dreams you made. The Holy Spirit understands the means you  made, by which you would attain what is forever unattainable. And if
W2:WIHS.3  And if you offer them to Him, He will employ the means you  made for exile to restore your mind to where it truly is at home.
W2:283.1 Father, I  made an image of myself, and it is this I call the Son of God. Yet is
W2:283.2  uniting lovingly with all the world, which our forgiveness has  made one with us.
W2:286.1  there is no need that I do anything. In You is every choice already  made. In You has every conflict been resolved. In You is everything I
W2:289.1  can I then perceive the world forgiveness offers? This the past was  made to hide, for this the world that can be looked on only now. It
W2:289.2  untouched and free of sin. Here is the end of guilt. And here am I  made ready for Your final step. Shall I demand that You wait longer
W2:290.1  day. What I perceive without God's own correction for the sight I  made is frightening and painful to behold. Yet I would not allow my
W2:290.1  I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I  made is real an instant longer. This the day I seek my present
W2:WIRW.1  perception offers. Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you  made. Your world is seen through eyes of fear and brings the
W2:294.2  use this dream to help Your plan that we awaken from all dreams we  made.
W2:296.1  Yours, for only Yours are true. I would be savior to the world I  made. For having damned it, I would set it free that I may find
W2:WISC.4  yet will come or who is present now is equally released from what he  made. In this equality is Christ restored as one Identity, in which
W2:303.2  Son is welcome, Father. He has come to save me from the evil self I  made. He is the Self that You have given me. He is but what I really
W2:306.1  that an ancient memory returns to me? Today I can forget the world I  made. Today I can go past all fear and be restored to love and
W2:309.1  God created it and as it is. I fear to look within because I think I  made another will which is not true and made it real. Yet it has no
W2:309.1  within because I think I made another will which is not true and  made it real. Yet it has no effects. Within me is the holiness of
W2:311.1 Judgment was  made to be a weapon used against the truth. It separates what it is
W2:311.1  it. He will relieve you of the agony of all the judgments you have  made against yourself and re-establish peace of mind by giving you
W2:312.2  look upon a liberated world, set free from all the judgments I have  made. Father, this is Your will for me today, and therefore it must
W2:321.1 I did not understand what  made me free nor what my freedom is nor where to look to find it.
W2:321.1  directing me. Now I would guide myself no more. For I have neither  made nor understood the way to find my freedom. But I trust in You.
W2:329.1  where my will became forever one with Yours. That choice was  made for all eternity. It cannot change and be in opposition to
W2:330.1  His love and bids them take what is already theirs? The mind that is  made willing to accept God's gifts has been restored to Spirit and
W2:330.2  one Identity we share with You. We would return to It today, to be  made free forever from all our mistakes and to be saved from what we
W2:340.1  it holds in joy and freedom for Your holy Son and for the world he  made, which is released along with him today.
W2:WIM.4  taken first on faith because to ask for it implies the mind has been  made ready to conceive of what it cannot see and does not understand.
W2:342.1 I thank You, Father, for Your plan to save me from the hell I  made. It is not real. And You have given me the means to prove its
W2:346.1  which You created for Your Son, forgetting all the foolish toys I  made as I behold Your glory and my own.
W2:359.1  be Your own. We have misunderstood all things. But we have not  made sinners of the holy Sons of God. What You created sinless so
W2:359.1  and forever. Such are we. And we rejoice to learn that we have  made mistakes which have no real effects on us. Sin is impossible,
W2:FL.1  For we would not return again to the belief in sin, which  made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and destroying,
M:1.1  His qualifications consist solely in this; somehow, somewhere he has  made a deliberate choice in which he did not see his interests as
M:2.3  illusion. What happened long ago seems to be happening now. Choices  made long since appear to be open, yet to be made. What has been
M:2.3  happening now. Choices made long since appear to be open, yet to be  made. What has been learned and understood and long ago passed by is
M:2.4  at the right time to the right place. This is inevitable, because he  made the right choice in that ancient instant which he now relives.
M:2.4  that ancient instant which he now relives. So has the teacher, too,  made an inevitable choice out of an ancient past. God's Will in
M:2.5  he who was the learner becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has  made the one decision that gave his teacher to him. He has seen in
M:3.1  find him. Therefore, the plan includes very specific contacts to be  made for each teacher of God. There are no accidents in salvation.
M:4.3  because they have learned it is not governed by the laws the world  made up. It is governed by a Power Which is in them but not of them.
M:4.9  The idea of sacrifice, so central to his thought system, had  made it impossible for him to judge. He thought he had learned
M:5.10  to believe God's Son can suffer. And they remind him that he has not  made himself and must remain as God created him. They recognize
M:7.1  He is now the patient, and he must so regard himself. He has  made a mistake and must be willing to change his mind about it. He
M:8.4  that errors in perception enter. And it is here correction must be  made. The mind classifies what the body's eyes bring to it according
M:11.3  explains that the Holy Spirit is the Answer to all problems you have  made. These problems are not real, but that is meaningless to those
M:11.3  to those who believe in them. And everyone believes in what he  made, for it was made by his believing it. Into this strange and
M:11.3  believe in them. And everyone believes in what he made, for it was  made by his believing it. Into this strange and paradoxical situation
M:11.3  for yours. And through this substitution is the ununderstandable  made understandable. How is peace possible in this world? In your
M:11.4  Yet has God's Judgment on this distorted world redeemed it and  made it fit to welcome peace. And peace descends on it in joyous
M:12.6  It is a conscious choice. For they have learned that all choices are  made consciously, with full awareness of their consequences. The
M:14.1  all sin, and ending guilt forever. So ends the world that guilt had  made, for now it has no purpose and is gone. The father of illusions

Tx:8.46  You made only the decision to be unworthy of both. Yet you could not  make yourself unworthy, because you are the treasure of God. What He
Tx:8.48  is] a contradiction in terms which actually leaves nothing. [You can  make yourself powerless only in a way that has no meaning at all.]
Tx:8.48  imprison the mind of God's Son if they so choose. This choice does  make the Son's function unknown to him, but never to his Creator. And
Tx:8.51  It cannot be described, and it cannot be explained. I can  make you aware of the conditions of truth, but the experience is of
Tx:8.75  is to lose sight of the function of everything. A sick body does not  make any sense. It could not make sense, because sickness is not what
Tx:8.75  of everything. A sick body does not make any sense. It could not  make sense, because sickness is not what the body is for. Sickness is
Tx:8.76  is to collect data which are true. There is no point in trying to  make sense out of meaningless data. Any way you handle them results
Tx:8.85  This is because the ego believes that mind is dangerous and that to  make mindless is to heal. But to make mindless is impossible since it
Tx:8.85  that mind is dangerous and that to make mindless is to heal. But to  make mindless is impossible since it would mean to make nothing out
Tx:8.85  to heal. But to make mindless is impossible since it would mean to  make nothing out of what God created. The ego despises weakness, even
Tx:8.93  and perceive the Will of God there. His perception of this will can  make it real to you because He is in your mind and therefore He is
Tx:8.98  giving you anything that does not come from God. His task is not to  make anything for you.] He cannot make you want something you do not
Tx:8.98  come from God. His task is not to make anything for you.] He cannot  make you want something you do not want. When you ask the Universal
Tx:8.102  is the law of its being. You cannot change laws you did not  make, and the laws of happiness were created for you, not by you.
Tx:8.104  and therefore you have everything because you are real. You cannot  make the unreal, because the absence of reality is fearful, and fear
Tx:8.104  fear is possible, you will not create. Opposing orders of reality  make reality meaningless, and reality is meaning.
Tx:8.105  anxiety, depression, and ultimately panic, because you are trying to  make yourself unreal. When you feel these things, do not try to look
Tx:9.1 The alertness of the ego to the errors which other egos  make is not the kind of vigilance the Holy Spirit would have you
Tx:9.6  errors in anyone and to react to them as if they were real is to  make them real to you. You will not escape paying the price for this,
Tx:9.7  cannot be separate, because it comes from love. Any attempt you  make to correct a brother means that you believe correction by you is
Tx:9.10  beyond you. You do not know how to overlook errors, or you would not  make them. It would merely be further error to think either that you
Tx:9.10  It would merely be further error to think either that you do not  make them or that you can correct them without a Guide to correction.
Tx:9.11  ability. By reinterpreting the ability to attack, which you did  make, into the ability to share, He translates what you have made
Tx:9.13  Many have tried to do this in my name, forgetting that my words  make perfect sense because they come from God. They are as sensible
Tx:9.13  that is learned of me does not use fear to undo fear. Nor does it  make real the unreal and then destroy it.
Tx:9.21  and this is why they are unreal. How, then, can “uncovering” them  make them real? Every healer who searches fantasies for truth must be
Tx:9.22  a very fearful solution. Projecting condemnation onto God, they  make Him appear retaliative and fear His retribution. What they have
Tx:9.27 The only meaningful contribution the therapist can  make is to present an example of one whose direction has been changed
Tx:9.48  to its “protection.” Self-inflation [is the only offering it can  make. The grandiosity] of the ego is its alternative to the grandeur
Tx:9.50  its own. We once said that the ego is aware of threat, but does not  make distinctions between two entirely different kinds of threat to
Tx:9.51  with you unless you do not allow the ego to attack it. The ego will  make every effort to recover and mobilize its energies against your
Tx:9.52 Yet your grandeur is not delusional, because you did not  make it. You have made grandiosity and are afraid of it because it is
Tx:9.59 Nothing beyond yourself can  make you fearful or loving, because nothing is beyond you. Time and
Tx:9.60  will establishes everything that happens to you. Every response you  make to everything you perceive is up to you, because your will
Tx:9.70  is merely to restore to your mind what is already there. You do not  make what you remember; you merely accept again what has been made
Tx:9.73  the complete havoc this makes of your peace of mind, you could not  make such an insane decision. You make it only because you still
Tx:9.73  your peace of mind, you could not make such an insane decision. You  make it only because you still believe that it can get you something
Tx:9.74  the destruction is no more real than the image, although those who  make idols do worship them. The idols are nothing, but their

Tx:9.81  before Him, or you will not hear. God is not jealous of the gods you  make, but you are. You would save them and serve them, because you
Tx:9.83  be yours. It is your inheritance from your real Father. You cannot  make your father, and the father you made did not make you. Honor is
Tx:9.83  Father. You cannot make your father, and the father you made did not  make you. Honor is not due to illusions, for to honor them is to
Tx:9.85  he cannot be reconciled with God's Will. If you attack him, you will  make him real to you. But if you refuse to worship him in whatever
Tx:9.97 It is because you did not  make yourselves that you need be troubled by nothing. Your gods are
Tx:9.97  are nothing, because your Father did not create them. You cannot  make creators who are unlike your Creator any more than He could have
Tx:9.107  what is timeless as real, you will begin to understand eternity and  make it yours.
Tx:10.2  more than a delusional system in which you made your own father.  Make no mistake about this. It sounds insane when it is stated with
Tx:10.19 Healing is a sign that he wants to  make whole. And this willingness opens his own ears to the Voice of
Tx:10.19  healing you would undertake, for beside your small willingness to  make whole, He will lay His own complete will and make yours whole.
Tx:10.19  willingness to make whole, He will lay His own complete will and  make yours whole. What can the Son of God not accomplish with the
Tx:10.32 Could you try to  make God homeless and know that you are at home? Can the Son deny the
Tx:10.55  this, and it is clearly not understandable, but the ego does  make every attempt to demonstrate it, and this it does constantly.
Tx:10.62  is the Will of God, which knows no time and no exceptions. But  make no exceptions yourself, or you will not perceive what has been
Tx:10.71  only this will lead you to the real Heaven because it will  make you capable of understanding it.
Tx:10.75  understand what they perceive, and so they ask what it means. Do not  make the mistake of believing that you understand what you perceive,
Tx:10.77  He gave you. Ask, then, for what is yours but which you did not  make, and do not defend yourself against truth. You made the problem
Tx:11.1 You have been told not to  make error real, and the way to do this is very simple. If you want
Tx:11.1  is very simple. If you want to believe in error, you would have to  make it real because it is not true. But truth is real in its own
Tx:11.16  the sickness, there is but one remedy. You will be made whole as you  make whole, for to perceive in sickness the appeal for health is to
Tx:11.29 To identify with the ego is to attack yourself and  make yourself poor. That is why everyone who identifies with the ego
Tx:11.46  because a split mind has made itself a poor learner. You tried to  make the separation eternal because you wanted to retain the
Tx:11.49  itself, what can you expect but confusion? The curriculum does not  make sense.
Tx:11.55  of self-value come from the projection of loving thoughts outward.  Make the world real unto yourself, for the real world is the gift of
Tx:11.59  interference, for the situations are identical. [Only the ability to  make this transfer is the product of learning.] As you perceive more
Tx:11.67  is why you find what you seek. What you want in yourself, you will  make manifest by projection, and you will accept it from the world
Tx:11.69  message you gave them. Love is recognized by its messengers. If you  make love manifest, its messengers will come to you because you

Tx:12.8  You are afraid of redemption, and you believe it will kill you.  Make no mistake about the depth of your fear. For you believe that in
Tx:12.14  You are afraid it would sweep you away from yourself and  make you little. For you believe that magnitude lies in defiance and
Tx:12.22 To “single out” is to “make alone” and thus  make lonely. God did not do this to you. Could He set you apart,
Tx:12.33  of sights which are not seen and sounds which are not heard. They  make up a private world which cannot be shared. For they are
Tx:12.41  what denial does, for by it you accept insanity, believing you can  make a private world and rule your own perceptions. Yet for this,
Tx:12.48  force continuity on them. You can perceive them as continuous and  make them so for you. But do not be deceived and then believe that
Tx:12.62  strange world you made but do not want. The only effort you need  make to give this world away in glad exchange for what you did not
Tx:12.62  make to give this world away in glad exchange for what you did not  make is willingness to learn the one you made is false.
Tx:12.70  He has no investment in the things that He supplies except to  make certain that you will not use them on behalf of lingering in
Tx:13.5  the world to see. For light must come into the darkened world to  make Christ's vision possible even here. Help Him to give His gift of
Tx:13.12 Release from guilt is the ego's whole undoing.  Make no one fearful, for his guilt is yours, and by obeying the ego's
Tx:13.13  you hold as dear, you think is yours. The power of your valuing will  make it so.
Tx:13.15  The idea that the guiltless Son of God can attack himself and  make himself guilty is insane. In any form, in anyone, believe this
Tx:13.16  the conviction of your own guilt. If you would have the Holy Spirit  make you free of it, accept His offer of Atonement for all your
Tx:13.27 Now it is given you to heal and teach, to  make what will be now. As yet it is not now. The Son of God believes
Tx:13.34 Praise be unto you who  make the Father one with His own Son. Alone we are all lowly, but
Tx:13.38  perfect faith in your final judgment because He knows that He will  make it for you. To doubt this would be to doubt that His mission
Tx:13.44  throughout eternity. You do not have to know that Heaven is yours to  make it so. It is so. Yet the Will of God must be accepted as your
Tx:13.54  peculiar learning goal depends means absolutely nothing. It does  make sense to you.
Tx:13.55  believed that nothing can be precious and that you can learn how to  make the untrue true.
Tx:13.57 The simple and the obvious are not apparent to those who would  make palaces and royal robes of nothing, believing they are kings
Tx:13.58  nothing else is real, and everything beside it is not there. Let Me  make the one distinction for you which you cannot make but need to
Tx:13.58  not there. Let Me make the one distinction for you which you cannot  make but need to learn. Your faith in nothing is deceiving you. Offer
Tx:13.59 Like you, the Holy Spirit did not  make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He brings the light of
Tx:13.60  the easiest. Learn to be happy learners. You will never learn how to  make nothing everything. Yet see that this has been your goal and
Tx:13.66 There is no compromise that you can  make with guilt and escape the pain which only guiltlessness allays.
Tx:13.67 What I experience, I will  make manifest. If I am guiltless, I have nothing to fear. I choose to
Tx:13.69  by holding it against you. Whether he does this or does it not will  make no difference; you will think he does. It is impossible to offer
Tx:13.71  lesson is merely this: guiltlessness is invulnerability. Therefore,  make your invulnerability manifest to everyone, and teach him that
Tx:13.73 Whenever you decide to  make decisions for yourself, you are thinking destructively, and the
Tx:13.73  the concept of decision which led to it. It is not true that you can  make decisions by yourself or for yourself alone. No thought of God's
Tx:13.75 It will never happen that you will have to  make decisions for yourself. You are not bereft of help, and Help
Tx:13.75  will simply offer it to you? He will never ask what you have done to  make you worthy of the gift of God. Ask it not therefore of
Tx:13.76  his own. You know not of salvation, for you do not understand it.  Make no decisions about what it is or where it lies, but ask of the
Tx:13.78  it for you. He has not forgotten it. Forget Him not, and He will  make every decision for you, for your salvation, and the peace of God
Tx:13.86  you will see the Atonement in him. For by proclaiming it in him, you  make it yours, and you will see what you sought. You will not see the
Tx:13.89  would be meaningful to you. God breaks no barriers; neither did He  make them. When you release them, they are gone. God will not fail
Tx:13.91 Before you  make any decisions for yourself, remember that you have decided
Tx:13.91  your function in Heaven and consider carefully whether you want to  make decisions here. Your function here is only to decide against
Tx:13.92  along a quiet path in summer. Only your own volition seems to  make deciding hard. The Holy Spirit will not delay at all in
Tx:14.2 Your task is not to  make reality. It is here without your making, but not without you.
Tx:14.19  away because, when they are brought together, the truth of one must  make the falsity of its opposite perfectly clear. Keep not guilt and
Tx:14.21  to communicate through not communicating holds enough of love to  make it meaningful if its interpreter is not its maker. You who made
Tx:14.30  request He enters gladly. He brings the light to darkness if you  make the darkness open to Him. But what you hide He cannot look upon.
Tx:14.36 There is no substitute for truth. And truth will  make this plain to you as you are brought into the place where you
Tx:14.38 The Atonement does not  make holy. You were created holy. It merely brings unholiness to
Tx:14.44  shining in you, can bring to all the world, you could not wait to  make the mirror of your mind clean to receive the image of the
Tx:14.52 —one of love and the other the call for love. You cannot safely  make this division, for you are much too confused either to recognize
Tx:14.67  you can depend for miracles has been provided for you. God's Son can  make no needs His Father will not meet if he but turn to Him ever so
Tx:14.67  by seeing His Son as he always was and not as he would  make himself. The miracle brings the effects which only guiltlessness
Tx:14.68  that the guidance of the Holy Spirit is limited. Thus would you  make Him undependable and use this fancied undependability as an
Tx:14.74  to everyone who perceives the need for peace and who would have it.  Make way for peace, and it will come. For understanding is in you,
Tx:15.8  only the present, uses it to undo the fear by which the ego would  make the present useless. There is no escape from fear in the ego's
Tx:15.13  blessed instant of freedom to all who are enslaved by time and thus  make time their friend for them. The Holy Spirit gives their blessed
Tx:15.24  sought and found littleness, remember this: Every decision which you  make stems from what you think you are and represents the value that
Tx:15.26 The power of God will support every effort you  make on behalf of His dear Son. Search for the little, and you deny
Tx:15.26  this question be asked you by the Holy Spirit in you every time you  make a decision. For every decision you make does answer this and
Tx:15.26  Spirit in you every time you make a decision. For every decision you  make does answer this and invites sorrow or joy accordingly.
Tx:15.27  you have not left Him. All your attempts to deny His magnitude and  make His Son hostage to the ego cannot make little whom God has
Tx:15.27  to deny His magnitude and make His Son hostage to the ego cannot  make little whom God has joined with Him. Every decision you make is
Tx:15.27  cannot make little whom God has joined with Him. Every decision you  make is for Heaven or for hell and will bring you awareness of what
Tx:15.32  more can you. When you have learned to accept what you are, you will  make no more gifts to offer to yourselves, for you will know you are
Tx:15.39  the time in which the holy instant will be yours. I call to you to  make the holy instant yours at once, for the release from littleness
Tx:15.42  then the Holy Spirit's readiness to give it to you is not enough to  make it yours, for you are not ready to share it with Him. And it
Tx:15.44  awareness to the readiness for purity He offers you. Thus will He  make you ready to acknowledge that you are host to God and hostage to
Tx:15.45  the past, for without it you do not understand anything. You would  make no attempt to judge because it would be quite apparent to you
Tx:15.46  of the Sonship is to bring guilt into your relationships and thus  make them unreal. If you seek to separate out certain aspects of the
Tx:15.52  no one is special, for your personal needs intrude on no one to  make them different. Without the values from the past, you would see
Tx:15.56  as long as you accept the possibility, and cherish it, that you can  make a brother what he is not because you would have him so.
Tx:15.69  of savagery belongs not around the chosen host of God, who cannot  make himself host to the ego. In the name of his release, and in the
Tx:15.69  will look at them, you will offer them gladly to Him. What He can  make of them, you do not know, but you will become willing to find
Tx:15.70  recognizes that no one could interpret direct attack as love. Yet to  make guilty is direct attack but does not seem to be. For the guilty
Tx:15.74  love and must be anger. All anger is nothing more than an attempt to  make someone feel guilty, and this attempt is the only basis which
Tx:15.75  He communicate with you while you believe that to communicate is to  make yourself alone? It is clearly insane to believe that by
Tx:15.85  to learn just what this shift entails, so you will become willing to  make it permanent. Given this willingness, it will not leave you, for
Tx:15.86  are nothing more than attempts to limit communication and thereby to  make it impossible. For communication must be unlimited in order to
Tx:15.88  Limits are demanded by the ego, representing its demands to  make little and ineffectual. Limit your vision of a brother to his
Tx:15.94  of it, you have offered it to everyone. It is in your power to  make this season holy, for it is in your power to make the time of
Tx:15.94  in your power to make this season holy, for it is in your power to  make the time of Christ be now.
Tx:15.95  you think you have, and the decision which you believe that you must  make.
Tx:15.97  ego will never let you perceive this, since this recognition would  make it homeless. For when this recognition dawns clearly, you will
Tx:15.99  for it is an invader who but seems to offer kindness, but always to  make the sacrifice complete.
Tx:15.110  all that you would accomplish. Nothing will be lacking, and you will  make complete and not destroy. Say and understand this:
Tx:15.112  take your place, so long left unfulfilled, in the Great Awakening.  Make this year different by making it all the same. And let all your
Tx:16.2  itself and would increase itself by sharing what is like itself.]  Make no mistake about this maneuver; the ego always empathizes to
Tx:16.3  there is nothing there that you would keep. Do not use empathy to  make the past real and so perpetuate it. Step gently aside and let
Tx:16.27 This year you will begin to learn and  make learning commensurate with teaching. You have chosen this by
Tx:16.28  by the strength of Heaven and by the united will of all who  make Heaven what it is, being joined within it. And so the one who
Tx:16.30  and out of sight. It is essential to bring it into sight and to  make no attempt to hide it. For it is the attempt to balance hate
Tx:16.36  it is nothing more than an attempt] to bring love into fear and  make it real in fear. In fundamental violation of love's condition,
Tx:16.43  Whatever form they take, they are always an attack on the self to  make the other guilty. We have spoken of this before, but there are
Tx:16.44 Very simply, the attempt to  make guilty is always directed against God. For the ego would have
Tx:16.49  in the special relationship. This “self” seeks the relationship to  make itself complete. Yet when it finds the special relationship in
Tx:16.51  the perception of the giving of specialness as an act of love would  make love hateful. And the real purpose of the special relationship,
Tx:16.56  extent you are denying truth, and so are making yourself unable to  make the simple choice between truth and illusion, God and fantasy.
Tx:16.58  possible, and they are totally unreal. This year is thus the time to  make the easiest decision that ever confronted you and also the only
Tx:16.58  the other side and nothing at all is here. It is impossible not to  make the natural decision as this is realized.
Tx:16.71  is experienced in the present. Shades of the past envelop it and  make it what it is. It has no meaning in the present, and if it means
Tx:17.5  itself. When you try to bring truth to illusions, you are trying to  make illusions real and keep them by justifying your belief in them.
Tx:17.14  based not on your selection. For the shadow figures you would  make immortal are “enemies” of reality. Be willing to forgive the Son
Tx:17.15  should enter into unholy alliances which support the ego's goals and  make your relationships the witness to its power. It is these shadow
Tx:17.15  the witness to its power. It is these shadow figures which would  make the ego holy in your sight and teach you what you do to keep it
Tx:17.16  and of yourself. This is why you see in both what is not there and  make of both the slaves of vengeance. And why whatever reminds you of
Tx:17.16  this. But what you do not realize are all the reasons which go to  make the relationship unholy. For unholiness seeks to reinforce
Tx:17.21 The Holy Spirit wills only to  make His resolutions complete and perfect, and so He seeks and finds
Tx:17.22  if you but let Him hold the spark before you to light your way and  make it clear to you. God's Son is one. Whom God has joined as one,
Tx:17.27 God established His relationship with you to  make you happy, and nothing you do which does not share His purpose
Tx:17.27  with you, the function of relationships became forever “to  make happy.” And nothing else. To fulfill this function, you relate
Tx:17.28 In this world it is impossible to create, yet it is possible to  make happy. We have said repeatedly that the Holy Spirit would not
Tx:17.28  them by God. The function you have given them is clearly not to  make happy. But the holy relationship shares God's purpose, rather
Tx:17.28  the holy relationship shares God's purpose, rather than aiming to  make a substitute for it. Every special relationship which you have
Tx:17.33  the frame without the picture you cannot have. Defenses operate to  make you think you can.
Tx:17.45  your goal was all that seemed to give it meaning. Now it seems to  make no sense. Many relationships have been broken off at this point,
Tx:17.46  For the relationship has not as yet been changed sufficiently to  make its former goal completely without attraction, and its structure
Tx:17.50  let it be explained to you as you perceive its purpose work in it to  make it holy. You will find many opportunities to blame each other
Tx:17.53  you find yourselves. And by this lack of thanks and gratitude, you  make yourselves unable to express the holy instant, and thus you lose
Tx:17.54  and shared. To attack each other is not to lose the instant but to  make it powerless in its effects. You have received the holy instant,
Tx:17.55  has been accepted and the means as they stand now which seems to  make you suffer, but which makes Heaven glad. If Heaven were outside
Tx:17.57  of the Holy Spirit's goal is general. Now He will work with you to  make it specific [for application is specific]. There are certain
Tx:17.59  which to bring the means in line. And now the only judgment left to  make is whether or not the ego likes it—is it acceptable, or does
Tx:17.60  happen is simply that you will perceive the situation as a means to  make it happen. You will therefore make every effort to overlook what
Tx:17.60  the situation as a means to make it happen. You will therefore  make every effort to overlook what interferes with the accomplishment
Tx:17.64  problem elsewhere is to keep it. For you remove yourself from it and  make it unsolvable.
Tx:17.65  not solve. There is no shift in any aspect of the problem but will  make solution impossible. For if you shift part of the problem
Tx:17.66  then becomes the justification for your lack of faith. You will  make this error, but be not at all concerned with that. The error
Tx:17.70  to the universe that lies beyond them, your little faithlessness can  make it useless if you would use the faithlessness instead.
Tx:17.76 Would you not want to  make a holy instant of every situation? For such is the gift of
Tx:18.7  they have in common and nothing else. Yet what else is necessary to  make them all the same?
Tx:18.14  solely around what you would have preferred. Here, you are “free” to  make over whatever seemed to attack you and change it into a tribute
Tx:18.16  upon you. For a time, it seems as if the world were given you, to  make it what you will. You do not realize that you are attacking it,
Tx:18.16  not realize that you are attacking it, trying to triumph over it and  make it serve you.
Tx:18.18 Dreams show you that you have the power to  make a world as you would have it be, and that because you want it,
Tx:18.18  you. It is the figures in the dream and what they do that seem to  make the dream. You do not realize that you are making them act out
Tx:18.19 Your wish to  make another world that is not real remains with you. And what you
Tx:18.19  [has a special place. It is the means by which you try to  make your sleeping dreams come true. From this you do not awaken. The
Tx:18.20  it away from you. [But He does use it differently, as a help to  make His purpose real to you.] Your special relationship will remain,
Tx:18.22  take hold to close your eyes. It is not strange that dreams can  make a world that is unreal. The wish to make it is incredible. Your
Tx:18.22  not strange that dreams can make a world that is unreal. The wish to  make it is incredible. Your relationship has become one in which the
Tx:18.30  instant to which you brought it. We are made whole in our desire to  make whole. Let not time worry you, for all the fear that you
Tx:18.31  into darkness and forward unto God to shine away the past and so  make room for His eternal Presence, in which everything is radiant in
Tx:18.32  It is He who adds the greatness and the might. He joins with you to  make the holy instant far greater than you can understand. It is your
Tx:18.34  of it. And what is this but the determination to be as you would  make yourself? God did not create His dwelling-place unworthy of Him.
Tx:18.35  that it is needful to prepare yourself for Him. It is impossible to  make arrogant preparations for holiness and not believe that it is up
Tx:18.35  willingness for what they are. Your willingness is needed only to  make it possible to teach you what they are. If you maintain you are
Tx:18.35  this, you are interfering with the lesson by believing that you  make the learner different. You did not make the learner, nor can you
Tx:18.35  lesson by believing that you make the learner different. You did not  make the learner, nor can you make him different. Would you first
Tx:18.35  the learner different. You did not make the learner, nor can you  make him different. Would you first make a miracle yourself and then
Tx:18.35  make the learner, nor can you make him different. Would you first  make a miracle yourself and then expect one to be made for you?
Tx:18.36  as it is given. In preparing for the holy instant, do not attempt to  make yourself holy to be ready to receive it. That is but to confuse
Tx:18.36  only to those who offer it nothing more than simple willingness to  make way for it. Purification is of God alone and therefore for you.
Tx:18.37  in me created it as He would have it be. It is not needful that I  make it ready for Him, but only that I do not interfere with His plan
Tx:18.38  plan for the escape from guilt has been to bring Atonement to it and  make salvation fearful. And it is only fear that you will add if you
Tx:18.39 It is this that makes the holy instant so easy and so natural. You  make it difficult because you insist there must be more that you need
Tx:18.40 Forget not that it has been your decision to  make everything that is natural and easy for you impossible. What you
Tx:18.42  with His understanding, He will build your part in the Atonement and  make sure that you fulfill it easily. And with Him you will build a
Tx:18.45  by accepting it for you, and nothing will be wanting that would  make of it what He would have it be.
Tx:18.51  and let it not know its identity. Mind cannot attack, but it can  make fantasies and direct the body to act them out. Yet it is never
Tx:18.53  be sick, but project not this upon the body. For your wish to  make destructive what cannot destroy can have no real effect at all.
Tx:18.53  created is only what He would have it be, being His Will. You cannot  make His Will destructive. You can make fantasies in which your will
Tx:18.53  it be, being His Will. You cannot make His Will destructive. You can  make fantasies in which your will conflicts with His, but that is all.
Tx:18.54  do with what the body does. It does not dream of them, and they but  make it a liability where it could be an asset. For fantasies have
Tx:18.57  to create differently and to have separated Himself from His Son to  make this possible. He would have had to create different things and
Tx:18.63  much faith in the body as a source of strength. What plans do you  make that do not involve its comfort or protection or enjoyment in
Tx:18.64 You have made much progress and are really trying to  make still more, but there is one thing you have never done—not for
Tx:18.65  but never experienced just now. Only its past and future  make it seem real. Time controls it entirely, for sin is never
Tx:18.66  fighting against sin. [Enormous effort is expended in the attempt to  make holy what is hated and despised.] Nor is a lifetime of
Tx:18.69  need do nothing has no need for time. To do nothing is to rest and  make a place within you where the activity of the body ceases to
Tx:18.89  is real. For the reality of guilt is the illusion which seems to  make it heavy and opaque, impenetrable, and a real foundation for the
Tx:18.91  bring to it, you do not confuse it with the world below, nor seek to  make it real.
Tx:18.93  Here is your innocence, waiting to clothe you and protect you and  make you ready for the final step in the journey inward. Here are the
Tx:18.94 Yet even forgiveness is not the end. Forgiveness does  make lovely, but it does not create. It is the source of healing, but
Tx:19.2  the Holy Spirit and releasing him from every demand your ego would  make of him. Thus do you see him free, and in this vision does the
Tx:19.2  Him in a united purpose which makes this purpose real because you  make it whole. And this is healing. The body is healed because you
Tx:19.3 The body cannot heal because it cannot  make itself sick. It needs no healing. Its health or sickness depends
Tx:19.5  always limit and attack; faith would remove all limitations and  make whole. [Faithlessness would destroy and separate; faith would
Tx:19.15  Spirit prepare the ground for the most holy garden which He would  make of it. For faith brings peace, and so it calls on truth to enter
Tx:19.15  of it. For faith brings peace, and so it calls on truth to enter and  make lovely what has already been prepared for loveliness. Truth
Tx:19.16  be to the eternal and learn how not to interfere with it and  make it slave to time. For what you think you do to the eternal you
Tx:19.19  he can do that would really change his reality in any way nor  make him really guilty. That is what sin would do, for such is its
Tx:19.24  than mistaken. Yet think you carefully before you allow yourself to  make this choice. Approach it not lightly, for it is the choice of
Tx:19.28  unanswered? In time the Holy Spirit clearly sees the Son of God can  make mistakes. On this you share His vision. Yet you do not share His
Tx:19.40  from which it gently reaches out but never leaving you. If you would  make it homeless, how can it abide within the Son of God? If it would
Tx:19.58  that you would have calls upon pain to fill your meager store and  make your lives complete. This is completion, as the ego sees it. For
Tx:19.60  deny a home to peace. This “sacrifice” you feel to be too great to  make, too much to ask of you.
Tx:19.73  if he but understood he sends them to himself? Who would accuse,  make guilty, and condemn himself?
Tx:19.89  of sin and death nor use it for destruction. Teach me how not to  make of it an obstacle to peace but let You use it for me to
Tx:19.91  Him and to join with Him at last. For this dark veil, which seems to  make the face of Christ Himself like to a leper's and the bright rays
Tx:19.99  purpose is still meaningless, and even when it is over, it seems to  make no sense. How can you know that it is over unless you realize
Tx:19.99  you choose whether to look upon it or wander on, only to return and  make the choice again.
Tx:19.102  savior stands beside each one. Let him be what he is and seek not to  make of love an enemy.
Tx:19.106  you and me together that we might meet here in this holy place and  make the same decision.
Tx:20.5  offerings made for its pleasure and remember all these were made to  make seem lovely what you hate. Would you employ this hated thing to
Tx:20.17  ego's fixed belief that all relationships depend upon adjustments to  make of them what it would have them be. Direct relationships, in
Tx:20.18  asked a question, and it was what they saw that answered them. You  make the world and then adjust to it, and it to you. Nor is there any
Tx:20.21  innocence in it. They did not tell it what it was; they did not  make adjustments to fit their orders. They gently questioned it and
Tx:20.22  belief that made it as you see it is not outside you. Seek not to  make the Son of God adjust to his insanity. There is a stranger in
Tx:20.24  that it gave you, and you have given it power to adjust the world to  make its answer true. You asked this puff of madness for the meaning
Tx:20.24  and adjusted it according to its insane answer. How happy did it  make you? Did you meet with joy to bless the Son of God and give him
Tx:20.30 Your insane laws were made to guarantee that you would  make mistakes and give them power over you by accepting their results
Tx:20.47 Idols accept, but never  make return. They can be loved, but cannot love. They do not
Tx:20.50 You cannot  make the body the Holy Spirit's temple, and it will never be the seat
Tx:20.60  you, and not the means. Remember this, for otherwise you will  make the error of believing the means are difficult. Yet how can they
Tx:20.62 The body is the means by which the ego tries to  make the unholy relationship seem real. The unholy instant is the
Tx:20.66  what he sees is free of condemnation. And what he sees he did not  make, for it was given him to see, as was the vision which made his
Tx:20.68  in what is yours but for the asking and think not that you need  make either means or end. All this is given you who would but see
Tx:20.71  the perfect choice to call upon for strength? Judgment will seem to  make your savior weak. Yet it is you who need his strength. There is
Tx:21.9  with you, not for themselves, but as a soft reminder of what would  make you weep if you remembered how dear it was to you. You could
Tx:21.18  not its weakness. You must perceive that what is strong enough to  make a world can let it go and can accept correction if it is willing
Tx:21.21  what must forever be. This is the statement that he has the power to  make God powerless and so to take it for himself and leave himself
Tx:21.22  otherwise must therefore seem unreal. All that is asked of you is to  make room for truth. You are not asked to make or do what lies beyond
Tx:21.22  that is asked of you is to make room for truth. You are not asked to  make or do what lies beyond your understanding. All you are asked to
Tx:21.24  that wishful thinking is how the ego deals with what it wants to  make it so. There is no better demonstration of the power of wanting,
Tx:21.24  demonstration of the power of wanting, and therefore of faith, to  make its goals seem real and possible. Faith in the unreal leads to
Tx:21.24  and possible. Faith in the unreal leads to adjustments of reality to  make it fit the goal of madness. The goal of sin induces the
Tx:21.24  it by not realizing all the adjustments you have introduced to  make it so.
Tx:21.25  The purpose now becomes to keep obscure the cause of the effect and  make effect appear to be a cause. This seeming independence of effect
Tx:21.26  you made yourself. For if you think the world you made has power to  make you what it wills, you are confusing Son and Father, effect and
Tx:21.29  And that is why the Holy Spirit must change its purpose to  make it useful to Him and harmless unto you.
Tx:21.59  error of any kind deceives you about the power that is in you to  make correction. If it can correct and you allow it not to do so, you
Tx:21.59  damned. This you could spare him and yourself. For reason would not  make way for correction in you alone.
Tx:21.63  But madness has a purpose and believes it also has the means to  make its purpose real. To see the body as a barrier between what
Tx:21.65  any instant serves to bring complete correction of his errors and  make him whole. The instant that you choose to let yourself be
Tx:21.71  enemy? And what can they do but envy him his power and by their envy  make themselves afraid of it? These are the dark ones, silent and
Tx:21.71  to wage their war of vengeance, bitterness, and spite on him to  make him one with them. Because they do not know that they are one
Tx:22.1  yet believed by each to be within himself. And each one seems to  make a different error, and one the other cannot understand.
Tx:22.6  you that the world you see through eyes which are not yours must  make no sense to you. To whom would vision such as this send back its
Tx:22.12  brothers. This child will teach you what you do not understand and  make it plain. For his will be no alien tongue. He will need no
Tx:22.17  and seek another is hardly an escape. To change illusions is to  make no change. The search for joy in misery is senseless, for how
Tx:22.17  Yet to perceive a difference where none exists will surely fail to  make a difference.
Tx:22.20 Both reason and the ego will tell you this, but what they  make of it is not the same. The ego will assure you now that it is
Tx:22.20  this another way, for reason sees the source of an idea as what will  make it true or false. This must be so if the idea is like its
Tx:22.24  if it were possible the Son of God could leave his Father's Mind,  make himself different, and oppose His Will, would it be possible
Tx:22.25  that what you made is yours. You would condemn His joy to misery and  make Him different. And all the misery you made has been your own.
Tx:22.29  for them to co-exist in your awareness. And reason's goal is to  make plain and therefore obvious. You can see reason. This is not a
Tx:22.30  Share this belief, and reason will be unable to see your errors and  make way for their correction. For reason sees through errors,
Tx:22.32  a special form the ego venerates. It would preserve all errors and  make them sins. For here is its own stability, its heavy anchor in
Tx:22.38  matters. It can no longer serve. No one who reaches this far can  make the wrong decision, but he can delay. And there is no part of
Tx:22.39  you have chosen, although you still may think you can go back and  make the other choice. This is not so. A choice made with the power
Tx:22.42 Every mistake you  make the other will gently have corrected for you, for in his sight
Tx:22.51  be found. He will believe it possible of mind or body, and he will  make the other serve his choice as means to find it.
Tx:22.59  Him the tiny gifts He can extend forever. He will take each one and  make of it a potent force for peace. He will withhold no blessing
Tx:22.59  any way. He will join to it all the power that God has given Him to  make each little gift of love a source of healing for everyone. Each
Tx:23.9  the ego, or yourself and it, will ever meet. You seem to meet and  make your strange alliances on grounds that have no meaning. For your
Tx:23.11 Could nature possibly establish this and  make it true? Nor is it up to you to say what shall be part of you
Tx:23.12  against yourself is but the battle of two illusions, struggling to  make them different from each other in the belief the one which
Tx:23.14  you could attack that is not part of you. And by attacking it, you  make two illusions of yourself in conflict with each other. And this
Tx:23.19  it be understood what they are for, because it is their purpose to  make meaningless and to attack the truth. Here are the laws that rule
Tx:23.22  Sin cannot be remitted, being the belief the Son of God can  make mistakes for which his own destruction becomes inevitable.
Tx:23.24  This leads directly to the third preposterous belief that seems to  make chaos eternal. For if God cannot be mistaken, then He must
Tx:23.31  which your “sanity” appears to rest.] These are the principles which  make the ground beneath your feet seem solid. And it is here you look
Tx:23.33  the savior from salvation. How lovely do the laws of fear  make death appear! Give thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who
Tx:23.36  upon a skeleton, dress it in loveliness, pet it and pamper it, and  make it live? And can you be content with an illusion that you are
Tx:23.42  for God speaks through you to your brother? The wrapping does not  make the gift you give. An empty box, however beautiful and gently
Tx:23.43  still be different, and yet the same remain intact as one. Does this  make sense? Can it be understood?
Tx:23.50  the Holy Spirit understand how to increase your little gifts and  make them mighty. Also He understands how your relationship is raised
Tx:23.52 When the temptation to attack rises to  make your mind darkened and murderous, remember you can see the
Tx:23.55  upholding him could find the choice of miracles or murder hard to  make?
Tx:24.2  is neutral. Every one has the power to dictate each decision you  make. For a decision is a conclusion based on everything that you
Tx:24.6  ones feel weak and frail because of differences, for what would  make them special is their enemy. Yet they protect its enmity and
Tx:24.7  of what you are and what your brother is. And here is what must  make the body dear and worth preserving. Specialness must be
Tx:24.12  whom it thus diminishes would be your savior, had you not chosen to  make of him a tiny measure of your specialness instead. Against the
Tx:24.19  as yours to have it. Let him forgive you all your specialness and  make you whole in mind and one with him. He waits for your
Tx:24.20  not illusions which have reached this final obstacle that seems to  make God and His Heaven so remote that they cannot be reached. Here
Tx:24.22  What is the same as God is one with Him. And only specialness could  make the truth of God and you as one seem anything but Heaven and the
Tx:24.27  your enemy, not God's. So does it seem to split you off from God and  make you separate from Him as its defender. You would protect what
Tx:24.30  could they will the death of love itself? Yet they are powerless to  make attack upon illusions. They are not bodies; as One mind they
Tx:24.32  call that would awaken them, and they curse God because He did not  make their dream reality. Curse God and die, but not by Him Who made
Tx:24.35  makes it frail and helpless in its own defense. It was conceived to  make you frail and helpless. The goal of separation is its curse. Yet
Tx:24.36  must it be that harmful purpose hurts the mind as one. Nothing could  make less sense to specialness. Nothing could make more sense to
Tx:24.36  as one. Nothing could make less sense to specialness. Nothing could  make more sense to miracles. For miracles are merely change of
Tx:24.64  instead? How can you fail to know it is in his holiness? Seek not to  make your specialness the truth, for if it were, you would be lost
Tx:24.67  means. Not till you go past learning to the Given; not till you  make again a holy home for your creations is it understood.
Tx:24.70  Here is an image that you want to be yourself. It is the means to  make your wish come true. It gives the eyes with which you look on
Tx:24.72  not bound to specialness but by your choice. And it is given you to  make a different choice and use perception for a different purpose.
Tx:25.2  they are He cannot be. And so they carry Him unknowingly and do not  make Him manifest. And thus they do not recognize Him where He is.
Tx:25.8  mad desire to be separate, different, and special, to the Christ, to  make the oneness clear to what is really one. In this world, this is
Tx:25.13  of success at all. To place your hopes where no hope lies must  make you hopeless. Yet is this hopelessness your choice, while you
Tx:25.14  giving up the hopeless and unrewarding task you set yourself. Can it  make sense to hold the fixed belief that there is reason to uphold
Tx:25.17  Him and with His masterpiece. This is its purpose, and you do not  make the frame into the picture when you choose to see it in its
Tx:25.20  do but offer thanks to you who love His Son as He does? Would He not  make known to you His love if you but share His praise of what He
Tx:25.20  completed. Not one ray of darkness can be seen by those who will to  make their Father's happiness complete and theirs along with His. The
Tx:25.25  wage its wars, the perfect shelter for the illusions which it would  make real. Not one but it upholds in its perception; not one but can
Tx:25.31  he be saved or damned? Forgetting not that what he is to you will  make this choice your future? For you make it now, the instant when
Tx:25.31  that what he is to you will make this choice your future? For you  make it now, the instant when all time becomes a means to reach a
Tx:25.31  it now, the instant when all time becomes a means to reach a goal.  Make then your choice. But recognize that in this choice the purpose
Tx:25.46  finds his special function and fulfills the part assigned to him to  make himself complete within a world where incompletion rules.
Tx:25.47  do not prevail in perfect form, can he yet do one perfect thing and  make one perfect choice. And by this act of special faithfulness to
Tx:25.49  you made can serve salvation easily and well. The Son of God can  make no choice the Holy Spirit cannot employ on his behalf and not
Tx:25.50  is death. And so it is. For sin is a request for death, a wish to  make this world's foundation sure as love, dependable as Heaven, and
Tx:25.51  as is God's Will for life. Nor can the basis of a world He did not  make be firm and sure as Heaven. How could it be that hell and Heaven
Tx:25.52  true, then all beliefs the world gives any meaning to are false and  make no sense at all. This is the choice you make. Do not attempt to
Tx:25.52  to are false and make no sense at all. This is the choice you  make. Do not attempt to see it differently nor twist it into
Tx:25.52  twist it into something it is not. For only this decision can you  make. The rest is up to God and not to you.
Tx:25.55  And each reflects a view of what the Father and the Son must be to  make that viewpoint meaningful and sane.
Tx:25.62  all temptation is but this—a mad belief that God's insanity would  make you sane and give you what you want. That either God or you must
Tx:25.87  that giving and receiving are the same. Because it does not  make the same unlike, it sees no differences where none exist. And
Tx:26.4  song of union and of love be heard at all. Yet is it given him to  make the world recede before his song and sight of him replace the
Tx:26.6 You can lose sight of oneness, but can not  make sacrifice of its reality. Nor can you lose what you would
Tx:26.6  is given him to witness to that you may see it and rejoice with him.  Make not his holiness a sacrifice to your belief in sin. You
Tx:26.7  light in you be blotted out because he sees it not. You who would  make a sacrifice of life and make your eyes and ears bear witness to
Tx:26.7  because he sees it not. You who would make a sacrifice of life and  make your eyes and ears bear witness to the death of God and of His
Tx:26.7  death of God and of His holy Son, think not that you have power to  make of them what God willed not they be. In Heaven God's Son is not
Tx:26.8  the reach of any sacrifice of life or death. For neither did he  make, and only one was given him by One Who knows His gifts can never
Tx:26.8  injustices the world would lay upon him. Could it be that you could  make his sins reality and sacrifice his Father's Will for him?
Tx:26.11  the form it seems to take, is a demand that someone suffer loss and  make a sacrifice that you might gain. And when the situation is
Tx:26.21  to him must be brought to the last comparison that he will ever  make, the last evaluation that will be possible, the final judgment
Tx:26.21  and what is different remain unclear. The one essential thing to  make a choice at all is this distinction. And herein lies the
Tx:26.22  salvation. Heaven was never lost and so cannot be saved. Yet who can  make a choice between the wish for Heaven and the wish for hell
Tx:26.22  is to teach what is the same and what is different, leaving room to  make the only choice which can be made.
Tx:26.24  the ability to give up all attempts to choose between them and to  make them different. [How simple is the choice between two things so
Tx:26.28  What other miracle is there but this? And what else need there be to  make the space between you disappear?
Tx:26.34 The tiny instant you would keep and  make eternal passed away in Heaven too soon for anything to notice it
Tx:26.34  to be your teacher. Only in the past—an ancient past, too short to  make a world in answer to creation—did this world appear to rise.
Tx:26.44  and harm, in sacrifice and death has come to you. For no one can  make one illusion real and still escape the rest. For who can choose
Tx:26.46  you but realized its emptiness has left yours empty and unoccupied?  Make no illusion friend, for if you do, it can but take the place of
Tx:26.46  are not of this world, and only He to whom they have been given can  make sure that you receive them. He will place them on your throne
Tx:26.46  that you receive them. He will place them on your throne when you  make room for Him on His.
Tx:26.53  gives meaning where no meaning is. And truth needs no defense to  make it true. Illusions have no witnesses and no effects. Who looks
Tx:26.60  is truly willed, because the mind can wish to be deceived but cannot  make it be what it is not. And to believe ideas can leave their
Tx:26.61  and escape from guilt. For otherwise he still demands that he must  make some sacrifice and thus denies that everything is his, unlimited
Tx:26.65  it used is natural. It is not arrogant to be as He created you or to  make use of what He gave to answer all His Son's mistakes and set him
Tx:26.67  when He has already answered all who call on Him? A miracle can  make no change at all. But it can make what always has been true be
Tx:26.67  all who call on Him? A miracle can make no change at all. But it can  make what always has been true be recognized by those who know it
Tx:26.72 The plans you  make for safety all are laid within the future, where you cannot
Tx:26.79  And now you stand on ground so holy Heaven leans to join with it and  make it like itself. The shadow of an ancient hate has gone, and all
Tx:26.89  is unfair to you because you think that one must be unfair to  make the other innocent. And in this game do you perceive one purpose
Tx:27.1  attack and innocence. Who can combine the wholly incompatible and  make a unity of what can never join? Walk you the gentle way, and you
Tx:27.2  do you see as proof that he is guilty of attack. Thus would you  make yourself to be the sign that he has lost his innocence and need
Tx:27.2  to him, and when it rests on him are you set free. Wish not to  make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you will not escape
Tx:27.14  and your hurt cannot exist together. One denies the other and must  make it false.
Tx:27.29  And by this does it join to the idea a something it is not and  make it unintelligible. Who can understand a double concept, such as
Tx:27.32  occupied, becomes a silent invitation to the truth to enter and to  make itself at home. No preparation can be made that would enhance
Tx:27.33  which the truth is represented temporarily. It lets the Holy Spirit  make exchange of pictures possible until the time when aids are
Tx:27.36  there can be no answer and no resolution, for its purpose is to  make no resolution possible and to ensure no answer will be plain. A
Tx:27.50  specific, but they take specific forms, and these specific shapes  make up the world. And no one understands the nature of his problem.
Tx:27.54  Its purpose is the same as pleasure, for they both are means to  make the body real. What shares a common purpose is the same. This is
Tx:27.56  rest. This name or that, but nothing more, you choose. You do not  make a witness true because you called him by truth's name. The truth
Tx:27.69  else's dream. He cannot choose to waken from a dream he did not  make. Helpless he stands, a victim to a dream conceived and cherished
Tx:27.70  you the one decider of your destiny in time. The choice is yours to  make between a sleeping death and dreams of evil or a happy wakening
Tx:27.83  sinful things the body does within its dream. You have no power to  make the body stop its evil deeds because you did not make it and
Tx:27.83  no power to make the body stop its evil deeds because you did not  make it and cannot control its actions or its purpose or its fate.
Tx:27.87  that brings you pain. Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will  make answer with this very simple truth. For this one answer takes
Tx:28.4 The Holy Spirit can indeed  make use of memory, for God Himself is there. Yet this is not a
Tx:28.6  about yourself. Time neither takes away nor can restore. And yet you  make strange use of it, as if the past had caused the present, which
Tx:28.6  present if its cause is past. Only the past is held in memory as you  make use of it, and so it is a way to hold the past against the now.
Tx:28.12  abide. For in that instant does the Son of God do nothing that would  make himself afraid.
Tx:28.17  is a meaningless attempt to give effects to causelessness and  make it be a cause.
Tx:28.18 Always in sickness does the Son of God attempt to  make himself his cause and not allow himself to be his Father's Son.
Tx:28.20  happy dreams the miracle exchanges for your own. It does not ask you  make another—only that you see you made the one you would exchange
Tx:28.22  nothing. What he fears is cause without the consequences which would  make it cause. And so it never was.
Tx:28.25  intent. Their enmity is seen as causeless now, because they did not  make it. And you can accept the role of maker of their hate, because
Tx:28.27  not done to me, but I am doing this.” And thus the mind is free to  make another choice instead. Beginning here, salvation will proceed
Tx:28.33  them for yourself. The miracle will brush them all aside and thus  make room for Him Who wills to come and bridge His Son's returning to
Tx:28.35  bring you witness to what never was. And in your storehouse it will  make a place of welcome for your Father and your Self. The door is
Tx:28.39  his are joined in brotherhood. His body and his dreams but seem to  make a little gap, where yours have joined with his.
Tx:28.49  your Self and walk upon an alien ground which your Creator did not  make and where you seem to be a “something” you are not. You will
Tx:28.49  make and where you seem to be a “something” you are not. You will  make war upon your Self, which seems to be your enemy, and will
Tx:28.51  to look upon a world that is not there, to hear the voices that can  make no sound. Yet are there other sounds and other sights which can
Tx:28.51  every jagged piece, each senseless scrap and shred of evidence, and  make a witness to the world you want. Let not the body's ears and
Tx:28.54  itself nor made itself to be what it is not. It does not seek to  make of pain a joy and look for lasting pleasure in the dust. It does
Tx:28.59  be one with him and not apart. And he will keep the promise that you  make with him because it is the one which he has made to God, as God
Tx:28.64  on straw, there is no need to bar the door and lock the windows and  make fast the bolts. The wind will topple it, and rain will come and
Tx:29.3  The rest are past, but this one still remains to block your path and  make the way to light seem dark and fearful, perilous and bleak. You
Tx:29.5  think that it determines when you meet and limits your ability to  make communion with each other's mind. And now it tells you where to
Tx:29.5  It dictates what its health can tolerate and what will tire it and  make it sick. And its “inherent” weaknesses set up the limitations on
Tx:29.23  you your illusions. By your gift of freedom is it given unto you.  Make way for love, which you did not create, but which you can
Tx:29.39 Swear not to die, you holy Son of God! You  make a bargain that you cannot keep. The Son of Life cannot be
Tx:29.40  there. Change is the greatest gift God gave to all that you would  make eternal, to ensure that only Heaven would not pass away.
Tx:29.44  the body—that it seek for what he lacks and give him what would  make himself complete. And thus he wanders aimlessly about in search
Tx:29.49  to see in it a place of idols found outside yourself, with power to  make complete what is within by splitting what you are between the
Tx:29.55  What hand could be held up to block God's way? Whose voice could  make demand He enter not? The “more-than-everything” is not a thing
Tx:29.55  demand He enter not? The “more-than-everything” is not a thing to  make you tremble and to quail in fear. Christ's enemy is nowhere. He
Tx:29.60  have. If Heaven is within, why would you seek for idols which would  make of Heaven less, to give you more than God bestowed upon your
Tx:29.62  Nor can he know the Self he has condemned. Judge not, because you  make yourself a part of evil dreams where idols are your “true”
Tx:29.64  you from what you believe you have accomplished and have done to  make you sinful and put out the light within you. Little children, it
Tx:29.65  thinks the thoughts are real. And so he makes of anything a toy to  make his world remain outside himself, and play that he is but a part
Tx:30.1  them awhile, until they are the rules by which you live. We seek to  make them habits now, so you will have them ready for whatever need.
Tx:30.4 Today I will  make no decision by myself.
Tx:30.5  you will not judge the situations where you will be called upon to  make response. For if you judge them, you have set the rules for how
Tx:30.6 This is your major problem now. You still  make up your mind and then decide to ask what you should do. And what
Tx:30.8 If I  make no decision by myself, This is the day that will be given me.
Tx:30.27  you now can ask a question that makes sense, and so the answer will  make sense as well. Nor will you fight against it, for you see that
Tx:30.29 We said you can begin a happy day with the determination not to  make decisions by yourself. This seems to be a real decision in
Tx:30.29  This seems to be a real decision in itself. And yet, you cannot  make decisions by yourself. The only question really is with what you
Tx:30.29  by yourself. The only question really is with what you choose to  make them. That is really all. The first rule, then, is not coercion
Tx:30.29  not coercion but a simple statement of a simple fact. You will not  make decisions by yourself whatever you decide. For they are made
Tx:30.34  He joins with you in willing you be free. And to oppose Him is to  make a choice against yourself and choose that you be bound.
Tx:30.39  place of all the love in the divinity of God the Son? What idol can  make two of what is one? And can the limitless be limited? You do not
Tx:30.40  is unlimited. To seek a special person or a thing to add to you to  make yourself complete can only mean that you believe some form is
Tx:30.42  For can he give a part of him away? What is not whole cannot  make whole. But what is really asked for cannot be denied. Your will
Tx:30.52  brought you joy. But neither were they things to frighten you nor  make you safe if they obeyed your rules. They must be neither
Tx:30.53  for thus you prove that you have been deceived. Attack has power to  make illusions real. Yet what it makes is nothing. Who could be made
Tx:30.54  can but deceive the mind that wants to be deceived. And you can  make a simple choice that will forever place you far beyond
Tx:30.71  that calls for punishment. Salvation does not lie in being asked to  make unnatural responses which are inappropriate to what is real.
Tx:30.74  would be one mistake which had the power to undo creation and to  make a world which could replace it and destroy the Will of God. Only
Tx:30.77  of him outside your willingness that he be healed. To heal is to  make whole. And what is whole can have no missing parts that have
Tx:30.80  the glad acknowledgment that guilt has not succeeded by your wish to  make illusions real. And what is this except a simple statement of
Tx:30.81  brother with this hope in you, and you will understand he could not  make an error that could change the truth in him. It is not difficult
Tx:30.81  that have been given no effects. But what you see as having power to  make an idol of the Son of God you will not pardon. For he has become
Tx:30.84  be what meaning means? Perception cannot be in constant flux and  make allowance for stability of meaning anywhere. Fear is a judgment
Tx:30.91 What is temptation but a wish to  make illusions real? It does not seem to be the wish that no reality
Tx:31.1  anyone who wants it to be true? Only unwillingness to learn it could  make such an easy lesson difficult. How hard is it to see that what
Tx:31.7  there hope of happiness in it. There is no plan for safety you can  make that ever will succeed. There is no joy that you can seek for
Tx:31.11 What is temptation but a wish to  make the wrong decision on what you would learn and have an outcome
Tx:31.14  are steps in its relinquishment. The first is a decision that you  make. But afterwards the truth is given you. You would establish
Tx:31.17  for what you choose, you choose as well for him. Two calls you  make to him, as he to you. Between these two is choice because from
Tx:31.20  us, as near or far away from what we want as we will let him be. We  make no gains he does not make with us, and we fall back if he does
Tx:31.20  what we want as we will let him be. We make no gains he does not  make with us, and we fall back if he does not advance. Take not his
Tx:31.23  behind, a bit ahead, would be a safer place for him to be. Can you  make progress if you think the same, advancing only when he would
Tx:31.25  of the road. A blindfold can indeed obscure your sight but cannot  make the way itself grow dark. And He Who travels with you has the
Tx:31.26 Only the self-accused condemn. As you prepare to  make a choice that will result in different outcomes, there is first
Tx:31.36  to still another road. No longer look for hope where there is none.  Make fast your learning now, and understand you but waste time unless
Tx:31.40 There is a choice which you have power to  make when you have seen the real alternatives. Until that point is
Tx:31.43  world is for. This is its purpose—that you come without a self and  make one as you go along. And by the time you reach “maturity,” you
Tx:31.45  never makes the first attack. But every day a hundred little things  make small assaults upon its innocence, provoking it to irritation
Tx:31.49  ideas of idols painted with the brushes of the world, which cannot  make a single picture representing truth.
Tx:31.50  that you are something else. For otherwise you would be asked to  make exchange of what you now believe for total loss of self, and
Tx:31.52  to be. If one was generated by your brother, who was there to  make the other? And from whom must something be kept hidden? If the
Tx:31.58 You will  make many concepts of the self as learning goes along. Each one will
Tx:31.63  behold a world of separation, unrelated things, and happenings that  make no sense at all. This one appears and disappears in death; that
Tx:31.65 Only in arrogance could you conceive that you must  make the way to Heaven plain. The means are given you by which to see
Tx:31.68  use a means as yet too alien to your thinking to be helpful nor to  make the kinds of change you could not recognize. Concepts are needed
Tx:31.81  then, remembering that it is but a wish, insane and meaningless, to  make yourself a thing which you are not. And think as well upon the
Tx:31.86 How do you  make the choice? How easily is this explained! You always choose
Tx:31.87  once again, so where you made a faulty choice before, you now can  make a better one and thus escape all pain which what you chose
Tx:31.88 The images you  make can not prevail against what God Himself would have you be. Be
Tx:31.92  again what you would have him be, remembering that every choice you  make establishes your own identity as you will see it and believe it
Tx:31.93  for otherwise you will behold it not. To give this gift is how to  make it yours. And God ordained in loving kindness that it be for you.
Tx:31.95  Salvation's song will echo through the world with every choice they  make. For we are one in purpose, and the end of hell is near.
W1:I.1  foundation such as the text is necessary as a background to  make these exercises meaningful. Yet it is the exercises which will
W1:I.1  make these exercises meaningful. Yet it is the exercises which will  make the goal possible. An untrained mind can accomplish nothing. It
W1:I.4  to everything. This will not require effort. Only be sure that you  make no exceptions in applying the idea.
W1:I.5  this will matter nor decrease their efficacy. But allow yourself to  make no exceptions in applying the ideas the exercises contain.
W1:1.5 Notice that these statements are not arranged in any order, and  make no allowance for differences in the kinds of things to which
W1:2.2  the idea to anything is merely that your eyes have lighted on it.  Make no attempt to include anything particular, but be sure that
W1:4.2  which you are aware are but shadows of what lies beyond, and shadows  make sight difficult. The “bad” ones are blocks to sight and make

W1:16.1  which are true create their own likeness. Those which are false  make theirs.
W1:16.4  get used to it. You will find that it is still hard for you not to  make artificial distinctions. Every thought that occurs to you,
W1:17.8 As usual, it is essential to  make no distinction between what you believe to be animate or
W1:19.5  throughout. Lack of order in this connection will ultimately  make the recognition of lack of order in miracles meaningful to you.
W1:20.5  so every half hour. Do not be distressed if you forget to do so, but  make a real effort to remember. The extra repetitions should be
W1:24.1 In no situation which arises do you realize the outcome that would  make you happy. Therefore you have no guide to appropriate action and
W1:25.4 Before you can  make any sense out of the exercises for today, one more thought is
W1:26.2  believe that you are not invulnerable. Attack thoughts therefore  make you vulnerable in your own mind, which is where the attack
W1:26.4  your thoughts can attack you. Nothing except your thoughts can  make you think you are vulnerable. And nothing except your thoughts
W1:28.1  the future is not our concern here. If you are willing at least to  make them now, you have started on the way to keeping them. And we

W1:38.4  any sense of loss or unhappiness of any kind as you see it. Try to  make as little distinction as possible between a situation that is
W1:41.4  dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we will  make our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud and
W1:41.5  of the practice period, repeat today's idea very slowly. Then  make no effort to think of anything. Try instead to get a sense of
W1:43.14  to strangers and to those you know well. Try, in fact, not to  make distinctions of this kind at all.
W1:44.1  another dimension to it. You cannot see in darkness, and you cannot  make light. You can make darkness and then think you see in it, but
W1:44.1  it. You cannot see in darkness, and you cannot make light. You can  make darkness and then think you see in it, but light reflects life
W1:45.2  thoughts because they are thought by the same Mind. To share is to  make alike or to make one. Nor do the thoughts you think with the
W1:45.2  they are thought by the same Mind. To share is to make alike or to  make one. Nor do the thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave
W1:46.13  original or in a related form as you prefer. Be sure, however, to  make more specific applications if they are needed. They will be
W1:51.4  trying to understand it. But there is every reason to let it go and  make room for what can be seen and understood and loved. I can

W1:64.6 Prepare yourself in advance for all the decisions you will  make today by remembering that they are really very simple. Each one
W1:64.6  or unhappiness. Can such a simple decision really be difficult to  make? Let not the form of the decision deceive you. Complexity of
W1:65.6 At first,  make no attempt to concentrate only on thoughts related to the idea
W1:65.8  thoughts which escaped your attention before, but do not strain or  make undue effort in doing this. Then tell yourself:
W1:66.12  Spirit's Voice. You will listen to madness or hear the truth. Try to  make this choice as you think about the premises on which our
W1:67.2 We will  make every effort today to reach this truth about you and to realize
W1:68.2  to your awareness. It seems to split you off from your Source and  make you unlike Him. It makes you believe that He is like what you
W1:69.2 Today let us  make another real attempt to reach the light in you. Before we
W1:69.5  you would be really convinced of their lack of substance. We will  make this attempt today.
W1:70.10  situations and events, and in self-concepts which you sought to  make real. Recognize that it was not there. Tell yourself:
W1:73.1  no power at all. Its wishes are not idle in the sense that they can  make a world of illusions in which your belief can be very strong.
W1:73.1  be very strong. But they are idle indeed in terms of creation. They  make nothing that is real.
W1:73.15 In the shorter practice periods, again  make a declaration of what you really want. Say:
W1:76.1  it in things that have no meaning, you bind yourself to laws that  make no sense. Thus do you seek to prove salvation is where it is not.
W1:76.9  are no more strange than other “laws” you hold must be obeyed to  make you safe.
W1:77.3  more than what belongs to us in truth. Today, however, we will also  make sure that we will not content ourselves with less.
W1:78.1 Perhaps it is not yet quite clear to you that each decision that you  make is one between a grievance and a miracle. Each grievance stands
W1:78.10  Your savior has been waiting long for this. He would be free and  make his freedom yours. The Holy Spirit leans from him to you, seeing
W1:88.5  my freedom. I am under no laws but God's. I am constantly tempted to  make up other laws and give them power over me. I suffer only because
W1:89.5  with truth according to God's plan for my salvation. I would  make no exceptions and no substitutes. I want all of Heaven and only
W1:94.11  Make every effort to do the hourly exercises today. Each one you do
W1:95.11 To allow a mistake to continue is to  make additional mistakes based on the first and reinforcing it. It is
W1:96.4 A mind and body cannot both exist.  Make no attempt to reconcile the two, for one denies the other can be
W1:96.7  truth? What purpose could it serve? What is it for? Salvation cannot  make illusions real and solve a problem that does not exist. Perhaps
W1:97.4  He will offer all His strength to every little effort which you  make.
W1:98.4  uncertain too will join with us and, borrowing our certainty, will  make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn will hear the call
W1:98.4  will hear the call we heard and answer it, when they have come to  make their choice again. We do not choose but for ourselves today.
W1:98.5  here? Is not five minutes of the hour but a small request to  make in terms of a reward so great it has no measure? You have made a
W1:98.7  and the certainty you lack. His words will join with yours and  make each repetition of today's idea a total dedication, made in
W1:98.13  the part which He would have you take and help you fill, and He will  make you sure you want this choice, which He has made with you and
W1:99.10  God, as does the rest. It does not think its solitary thoughts and  make them real by hiding them from Him. Let in the light, and you
W1:107.11  tell you you could be apart from Him. You speak to Him today and  make your pledge to let His function be fulfilled through you. To
W1:108.13  cause will be far better understood from this time on, and we will  make much faster progress now. Think of the exercises for today as
W1:110.2  has made at any time or place. It is enough to heal the past and  make the future free. It is enough to let the present be accepted as
W1:110.10  idols and how false the images which you believed were you. Today we  make a great advance to truth by letting idols go and opening our
W1:R3.2  it is impossible at the appointed time. Nor is it necessary that you  make excessive efforts to be sure that you catch up in terms of
W1:R3.12  kind. Try, then, to take it with you in the business of the day and  make it holy, worthy of God's Son, acceptable to God and to your Self.
W1:121.1  for peace. Here is the key to meaning in a world which seems to  make no sense. Here is the way to safety in apparent dangers which
W1:122.5  welcome calling from beyond the doorway, bidding you to enter in and  make yourself at home where you belong.
W1:125.6  in quiet. There is peace within you to be called upon today to help  make ready your most holy mind to hear the Voice of its Creator speak.
W1:126.8  truth that giver and receiver are the same. You will need help to  make this meaningful because it is so alien to the thoughts to which
W1:127.2  To believe these things of love is not to understand it. If it could  make such distinctions it would have to judge between the righteous
W1:128.3  your mind when you perceive salvation here. For what you value you  make part of you as you perceive yourself. All things you seek to
W1:128.3  make part of you as you perceive yourself. All things you seek to  make your value greater in your sight limit you further, hide your
W1:129.7 Practice your willingness to  make this change ten minutes in the morning and at night and once
W1:130.2  And who can choose to see a world of which he is afraid? Fear must  make blind, for this its weapon is—that which you fear to see you
W1:130.4  all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you believe  make up the world. They are not there. Love's enemy has made them up.
W1:130.7  all compromise and doubt and go beyond them all as one. We will not  make a thousand meaningless distinctions, nor attempt to bring with
W1:131.8  its own existence and attacks itself is not of Him. He did not  make two minds, with Heaven as the glad effect of one and earth the
W1:131.10  not choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the Son of God  make time to take away the Will of God? He thus denies himself and
W1:131.13  kind of thought from those I made. The world I seek I did not  make alone. The thoughts I want to think are not my own.
W1:131.15  one can fail who asks to reach the truth, and it is this request you  make today. Nothing but this has any meaning now; no other goal is
W1:131.16  all things you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will  make you pause before you realize the world you see before you in the
W1:132.5 Perhaps you think you did not  make the world but came unwillingly to what was made already, hardly
W1:132.12  if you are as God created you, you cannot think apart from Him nor  make what does not share His timelessness and love. Are these
W1:133.4 The laws which govern choice you cannot  make, no more than you can make alternatives from which to choose.
W1:133.4 The laws which govern choice you cannot make, no more than you can  make alternatives from which to choose. The choosing you can do;
W1:133.6  give you just a little, for there is no in-between. Each choice you  make brings everything to you or nothing. Therefore, if you learn the
W1:133.6  tests by which you can distinguish everything from nothing, you will  make the better choice.
W1:133.9  is the one on which the others rest. Why is the choice you  make of value to you? What attracts your mind to it? What purpose
W1:133.14  gain to you in learning this? It is far more than merely letting you  make choices easily and without pain. Heaven Itself is reached by
W1:134.12  he erect the heavy walls of stone and iron doors he thought would  make him safe. He can remove the ponderous and useless armor made to
W1:135.2  a belief that there is danger which has power to call on you to  make appropriate defense.
W1:135.4  not strange you do not pause to ask, as you elaborate your plans and  make your armor thicker and your locks more tight, what you defend,
W1:135.6  no care, and no concern at all. Defend its life, or give it gifts to  make it beautiful or walls to make it safe, and you but say your home
W1:135.6  Defend its life, or give it gifts to make it beautiful or walls to  make it safe, and you but say your home is open to the thief of time,
W1:135.7  set its value far beyond a little pile of dust and water. Who would  make defense of something that he recognized as this?
W1:135.8  yet deeply cherished, are the sources for the many mad attacks you  make upon it. For it seems to fail your hopes, your needs, your
W1:135.14  the body to the plans the unhealed mind sets up to save itself must  make the body sick. It is not free to be a means of helping in a plan
W1:135.18 Defenses are the plans you undertake to  make against the truth. Their aim is to select what you approve and
W1:135.22  we need is given us for our accomplishment of this today. We  make no plans for how it will be done but realize that our
W1:135.25 Nothing but that. If there are plans to  make, you will be told of them. They may not be the plans you thought
W1:136.6 Mistake this not for fact. Defenses must  make facts unrecognizable. They aim at doing this, and this they seem
W1:136.8  which makes you weak and brings you suffering. It is a choice you  make, a plan you lay when for an instant truth arises in your own
W1:136.9  little pile of dust silenced and stilled. For see, this dust can  make you suffer, twist your limbs, and stop your heart, commanding
W1:136.13 Such is the simple truth. It does not  make appeal to might nor triumph. It does not command obedience nor
W1:136.20  or any laws you made it serve before. You need do nothing now to  make it well, for sickness has become impossible.
W1:136.21  If you let your mind harbor attack thoughts, yield to judgment, or  make plans against uncertainties to come, you have again misplaced
W1:137.2  suffer what the others do not feel. It gives the body final power to  make the separation real and keep the mind in solitary prison, split
W1:137.16  foolish thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we come together to  make well all that was sick and offer blessing where there was
W1:138.1  exists, there must be hell as well, for contradiction is the way we  make what we perceive and what we think is real. Creation knows no
W1:138.4  choices are confronting you when there is really only one to  make. And even this but seems to be a choice. Do not confuse yourself
W1:138.4  yourself with all the doubts that myriad decisions would induce. You  make but one. And when that one is made, you will perceive it was no
W1:138.6  than merely being what it is. Of all the choices you have tried to  make, this is the simplest, most definitive, the prototype of all the
W1:138.7  we begin today considering the choice that time was made to help us  make. Such is its holy purpose, now transformed from the intent you
W1:138.10  between the clearly seen and the unrecognized? Yet who can fail to  make a choice between alternatives when only one is seen as valuable,
W1:138.10  thing, a but imagined source of guilt and pain? Who hesitates to  make a choice like this? And shall we hesitate to choose today?
W1:138.11 We  make the choice for Heaven as we wake and spend five minutes making
W1:138.11  that we have made the one decision that is sane. We recognize we  make a conscious choice between what has existence and what has
W1:138.13 Heaven is the decision I must  make. I make it now and will not change my mind, because it is the
W1:138.13 Heaven is the decision I must make. I  make it now and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing
W1:139.2  refused to recognize himself? Only refusal to accept yourself could  make the question seem to be sincere. The only thing that can be
W1:140.1  beneficial. What the world perceives as therapeutic is but what will  make the body “better.” When it tries to heal the mind, it sees no
W1:140.2  dream that he was sick, and in the dream he found a magic formula to  make him well. Yet he has not awakened from the dream, and so his
W1:140.2  him and end the dream. What difference does the content of a dream  make in reality? One either sleeps or wakens. There is nothing in
W1:140.6 This is the thought that cures. It does not  make distinctions among unrealities. Nor does it seek to heal what is
W1:140.11  but all of them as one. They are the same. We have no need to  make them different and thus delay the time when we can hear our
W1:149.2 [138] Heaven is the decision I must  make.
W1:153.18  is spent in offering salvation to the world. Think you He will not  make this possible for you who chose to carry out His plan for the
W1:154.5 A messenger does not elect to  make the message he delivers. Nor does he question the right of him
W1:155.2  back and let it lead the way. What other choice is really theirs to  make? To let illusion walk ahead of truth is madness, but to let
W1:155.3 This is the simple choice we  make today. The mad illusion will remain awhile in evidence for those
W1:155.11  that pass, and miracles are purposeless, the holy Son of God will  make no journeys. There will be no wish to be illusion rather than
W1:155.11  way that truth points out to us. This is our final journey, which we  make for everyone. We must not lose our way. For as truth goes before
W1:157.8  Guide to Heaven given you has dreamed for you this journey which you  make and start today with the experience this day holds out to you to
W1:158.4  from the point at which it ended, looking back on it, imagining we  make it once again; reviewing mentally what has gone by.
W1:161.4  for every mind is one. Such is the truth. Yet do these thoughts  make clear the meaning of creation? Do these words bring perfect
W1:165.3  in comparison with them? And having found them, would he not  make sure they stay with him and he remains with them?
W1:166.1  will is one with His, His gifts are not received. But what would  make you think there is another will than His?
W1:166.8  gifts. How could you then proclaim your poverty in exile? He would  make you laugh at this perception of yourself. Where is self-pity
W1:166.8  is self-pity then? And what becomes of all the tragedy you sought to  make for him whom God intended only joy?
W1:166.12  giving holds, for He has saved you from the solitude you sought to  make in which to hide from God. He has reminded you of all the gifts
W1:167.4  emotions alternate because of causes you cannot control, you did not  make, and you can never change. It is the fixed belief ideas can
W1:167.6  that is all. It cannot change what is its waking state. It cannot  make a body nor abide within a body. What is alien to the mind does
W1:167.6  it lacks nor change its own eternal, mindful state. It cannot  make the physical. What seems to die is but the sign of mind asleep.
W1:167.7  It is not its opposite in anything created nor in what it seems to  make when it believes it sleeps.
W1:167.8  does not sleep, and His creations cannot share what He gives not nor  make conditions which He does not share with them. The thought of
W1:169.8 We have repeated several times before that you but  make a journey that is done. For oneness must be here. Whatever time
W1:170.2  fear is to attack! For here is fear begot and fed with blood, to  make it grow and swell and rage. And thus is fear protected, not
W1:170.3 You  make what you defend against, and by your own defense against it, is
W1:170.5  it is obvious ideas must leave their source. For it is you who  make attack and must have first conceived of it. Yet you attack
W1:170.9  But it can also be the time of your release from abject slavery. You  make a choice, standing before this idol, seeing him exactly as he
W1:170.9  from it and lay before this mindless piece of stone? Or will you  make another idol to replace it? For the god of cruelty takes many
W1:170.12 The choice you  make today is certain. For you look for the last time upon this bit
W1:170.14  world with what we have received from You alone. We choose again and  make our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us.
W1:R5.2  have no words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word and  make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little
W1:R5.9  one. Help me now to lead you back to where the journey was begun, to  make another choice with me.
W1:I2.1 Our next few lessons  make a special point of firming up your willingness to make your weak
W1:I2.1  few lessons make a special point of firming up your willingness to  make your weak commitment strong, your scattered goals blend into one
W1:184.8  naming. When you call upon a brother, it is to his body that you  make appeal. His true Identity is hidden from you by what you believe
W1:185.2  cannot play with dreams nor think he is himself a dream. He cannot  make a hell and think it real. He wants the peace of God, and it is
W1:185.7  another dream be given us. They do not ask for compromise nor try to  make another bargain in the hope that there may yet be one which can
W1:185.9  in place of Heaven and the peace of God?” This is the choice you  make. Be not deceived that it is otherwise. No compromise is possible
W1:185.10  dreams. For them as well as for yourself you ask but this when you  make this request with deep sincerity. For thus you reach to what
W1:186.5  the false is true has brought to you. Accept the plan you did not  make instead. Judge not your value to it. If God's Voice assures you
W1:186.8  given us, for all illusions rest upon the weird belief that we can  make another for ourselves. Our self-made roles are shifting, and
W1:186.9  His attributes with His creation. All the images His Son appears to  make have no effect on what he is. They blow across his mind like
W1:186.10  and serene when you accept the function given you. The images you  make give rise to but conflicting goals, impermanent and vague,
W1:186.12  that seems impossible, remember Who it is that asks and who would  make denial. Then consider this—which is more likely to be right?
W1:186.13  He would comfort you, although He knows no sorrow. He would  make a restitution, though He is complete; a gift to you, although He
W1:187.1  is proof of having. We have made this point before. What seems to  make it hard to credit is not this. No one can doubt that you must
W1:187.2  Yet we have learned that things but represent the thoughts that  make them. And you do not lack for proof that when you give ideas
W1:188.9  all the world of what we thought it did to us. For it is we who  make the world as we would have it. Now we choose that it be

W1:190.5  affects you. There is nothing in the world which has the power to  make you ill or sad or weak or frail. But it is you who have the
W1:190.7  world, as causeless, has no power to cause. As an effect, it cannot  make effects. As an illusion it is what you will. Your idle wishes
W1:190.11 And so again we  make the only choice that ever can be made—we choose between
W1:192.5  changing him who learns at all. The mind without the body cannot  make mistakes. It cannot think that it will die nor be the prey of
W1:194.6  will not hesitate to give as much consistent effort as you can to  make it be a part of you. As it becomes a thought which rules your

W1:195.5 Therefore give thanks, but in sincerity. And let your gratitude  make room for all who will escape with you—the sick, the weak, the
W1:196.1  kept in full awareness, you will not attempt to harm yourself nor  make your body slave to vengeance. You will not attack yourself, and
W1:196.5 The dreary, hopeless thought that you can  make attacks on others and escape yourself has nailed you to the

W1:200.4  in alien forms which have no meaning to you, though you sought to  make them meaningful. This world is not where you belong. You are a

W2:242.1  there is One Who knows all that is best for me. And He is glad to  make no choices for me but the ones that lead to God. This day I give
W2:243.1  that this is so. And so I am relieved of judgment which I cannot  make. Thus do I free myself and what I look upon, to be in peace as
W2:244.2  In God are we secure. For what can come to threaten God Himself or  make afraid what will forever be a part of Him?

W2:260.1 Father, I did not  make myself, although in my insanity I thought I did. Yet as Your

W2:277.2 Let us not worship idols nor believe in any laws idolatry would  make to hide the freedom of the Son of God. He is not bound except by
W2:292.1 God's promises  make no exceptions. And He guarantees that only joy can be the final

W2:331.1  Father, to believe Your Son could cause himself to suffer! Could he  make a plan for his damnation and be left without a certain way to

Tx:8.85  out of what God created. The ego despises weakness, even though it  makes every effort to induce it. The ego wants only what it hates. To
Tx:8.95  mean anything. A message cannot be said to be communicated unless it  makes sense. How sensible can your messages be when you ask for what
Tx:9.1  kind of sense because it is sensible to them. To the Holy Spirit, it  makes no sense at all. To the ego, it is kind and right and good to
Tx:9.1  kind and right and good to point out errors and “correct” them. This  makes perfect sense to the ego, which is totally unaware of what
Tx:9.3  no communication at all between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego  makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not attempt to understand
Tx:9.12  for one, though not of the right teacher. The ego's plan, of course,  makes no sense and will not work. By following it, you will merely
Tx:9.15  dangerous combination of grandiosity and confusion which  makes it likely that the ego will attack anyone and anything for no
Tx:9.28  also be for his patient. The Holy Spirit is the only therapist. He  makes healing perfectly clear in any situation in which he is the
Tx:9.73 If you realized the complete havoc this  makes of your peace of mind, you could not make such an insane
Tx:9.73  vigilant against God and His Kingdom. And it is this vigilance that  makes you afraid to remember Him.
Tx:9.74  What you think you are can be hateful, and what this strange image  makes you do can be very destructive. Yet the destruction is no more
Tx:9.80  I know you. I know your value for you, and it is this value that  makes you whole. A whole mind is not idolatrous and does not know of
Tx:10.13 The projection of the ego  makes it appear as if God's Will is outside yourself and therefore
Tx:10.14  of sickness and fear arises here because this is the belief that  makes you want not to know. Believing this, you hide in darkness,
Tx:10.41  In fact, it contains exactly the contradiction in terms which  makes it meaningless. “Dynamics” implies the power to do something,
Tx:10.54  the Holy Spirit's. The ego focuses on error and overlooks truth. It  makes real every mistake it perceives, and with characteristically
Tx:10.55 The ego  makes no attempt to understand this, and it is clearly not
Tx:11.3 There is but one interpretation of all motivation that  makes any sense. And because it is the Holy Spirit's judgment, it
Tx:11.4  are except your own perceived need to attack. It is only this that  makes you willing to engage in endless “battles” with reality in
Tx:11.29  for this is crucial to his adjustment. He does not realize that he  makes this world, for there is no world outside of him.
Tx:11.36  for love. Yet the ego, though encouraging the search very actively,  makes one proviso—do not find it. Its dictates, then, can be summed
Tx:11.99  the ego's teaching, then, there is no escape from guilt. For attack  makes guilt real, and if it is real, there is no way to overcome it.
Tx:12.29  For you are meeting no one, and the sharing of salvation, which  makes the encounter holy, is excluded from your sight. The Holy
Tx:12.35  upon them, and he alone believes they answered him. Projection  makes perception, and you cannot see beyond it. Again and again have
Tx:13.5  in the darkness, and let Him gather them into His quiet sight that  makes them one.
Tx:13.12  only in terms of the belief in which the faith was placed. Faith  makes the power of belief, and where it is invested determines its
Tx:13.17 Guilt  makes you blind, for while you see one spot of guilt within you, you
Tx:13.21  at all. They are used only by the Holy Spirit, and it is that which  makes them pure. [If you displace your guilt upon them, the Holy
Tx:13.40  to seek. When you have learned this, you will find the answer that  makes the need for any differences disappear. Truth comes of its own
Tx:13.80  when all knowledge lies behind every decision which the Holy Spirit  makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His love and teach His answer
Tx:14.5  Love, to share with all the lonely ones who denied Him with you? God  makes this possible. Would you deny His yearning to be known? You
Tx:14.15  him. Holiness must be shared, for therein lies everything that  makes it holy. Come gladly to the holy circle, and look out in peace
Tx:14.39  change with time or mood or chance. Its changelessness is what  makes it real. This cannot be undone. Undoing is for unreality. And
Tx:14.54  form is not enough for meaning, and the underlying lack of content  makes a cohesive system impossible. Separation therefore remains the
Tx:14.69  you do. And each miracle He offers you corrects your use of time and  makes it His.
Tx:14.73  need do. The Holy Spirit will, of Himself, fill every mind that so  makes room for Him.
Tx:15.41  only way you could do that is to deny the perfect communication that  makes the holy instant what it is. You believe that it is possible to
Tx:15.66  into any relationship without anger, for the ego believes that anger  makes friends. This is not its statement, but it is its purpose. For
Tx:15.70 In one way or another, every relationship which the ego  makes is based on the idea that by sacrificing itself, it becomes
Tx:15.72  it is in these terms that it evaluates ideas as good or bad. What  makes another guilty and holds him through guilt is “good.” What
Tx:15.78  Whose only need is to have you be complete. For your completion  makes you His in your awareness. And here it is that you experience
Tx:15.100  And yet it is the recognition of the decision just as it is that  makes the decision so easy! Salvation is simple, being of God and
Tx:16.19  love asks only that you be happy and will give you everything that  makes for happiness. You have never given any problem to the Holy
Tx:16.30  to hide it. For it is the attempt to balance hate with love that  makes love meaningless to you. The extent of the split that lies in
Tx:16.32  effects of hate by finding a haven in the storm of guilt. It  makes no attempt to rise above the storm into the sunlight. On the
Tx:16.37  The special love relationship is but a shabby substitute for what  makes you whole in truth, not in illusion. Your relationship with
Tx:16.40  Whom God remembers must be whole. And God has never forgotten what  makes Him whole. In your completion lies the memory of His wholeness
Tx:17.2  your power. Yet by distorting it and devoting it to “evil,” it also  makes it unreal. You cannot be faithful to two masters who ask of you
Tx:17.45  His goal replaces yours. This is accomplished very rapidly, but it  makes the relationship seem disturbed, disjunctive, and even quite
Tx:17.55  means as they stand now which seems to make you suffer, but which  makes Heaven glad. If Heaven were outside you, you could not share in
Tx:17.59  goal, set at the outset, the situation just seems to happen and  makes no sense until it has already happened. Then you look back at
Tx:17.59  for vengeance? The absence of a criterion for outcome set in advance  makes understanding doubtful and evaluation impossible.
Tx:17.72  transformed to means for truth. [Truth calls for faith, and faith  makes room for truth.] When the Holy Spirit changed the purpose of
Tx:18.39 It is this that  makes the holy instant so easy and so natural. You make it difficult
Tx:18.39  your understanding is a powerful contribution to the truth and  makes it what it is. Yet we have emphasized that you need understand
Tx:18.63  not involve its comfort or protection or enjoyment in some way? This  makes it an end and not a means in your interpretation, and this
Tx:18.71 It is only the awareness of the body that  makes love seem limited. For the body is a limit on love. The belief
Tx:18.78  at the desert, dry and unproductive, scorched and joyless, which  makes up your little kingdom. And realize the life and joy which love
Tx:19.2  heals through you. It is this joining Him in a united purpose which  makes this purpose real because you make it whole. And this is
Tx:19.11  saw the Christ in him, and he was healed because you looked on what  makes faith forever justified in everyone.
Tx:19.17  error be not confused with “sin,” and it is this distinction which  makes salvation possible. For error can be corrected, and the wrong
Tx:19.22  could everything be upside-down. This is the strange illusion which  makes the clouds of guilt seem heavy and impenetrable. The solidness
Tx:19.47  no longer an unrelenting barrier to peace. Its pointless wandering  makes its results appear to be more erratic and unpredictable than
Tx:19.88  be a source of fear, when any situation strikes you with terror and  makes your body tremble and the cold sweat of fear comes over it,
Tx:19.93  gone, what can you fear but life? It is the attraction of death that  makes life seem to be ugly, cruel, and tyrannical. You are no more
Tx:20.17  and prevent their union. It is this studied interference which  makes it difficult for you to recognize your holy relationship for
Tx:20.20  there at all. Yet judgment lays a sentence on it, justifies it, and  makes it real. Such is the world you see—a judgment on yourself and
Tx:20.50  what you fear within your brother and would not see in him is what  makes God seem fearful to you and kept unknown.
Tx:20.55  on. And here he is more dead than living. Yet it is also here he  makes his choice again between idolatry and love.
Tx:20.70  you shall be yours. This is your purpose now, and the vision that  makes it yours is ready to be given. You have the vision which
Tx:21.1 Projection  makes perception. The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more
Tx:21.27  his creating. Apart from this he has no power to create, and what he  makes is meaningless. It changes nothing in creation, depends
Tx:21.37  Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice brings nothing. He  makes no bargains. And if you seek to limit Him, you will hate Him
Tx:21.37  for you without one spot of sin upon it and in the innocence which  makes the sight of it as beautiful as Heaven.
Tx:21.41  teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will correct, but this  makes no one fearful. You are indeed afraid to look within and see
Tx:21.42  fear to look within because of sin is yet another fear and one which  makes the ego tremble.
Tx:21.49 Perception selects and  makes the world you see. It literally picks it out as the mind
Tx:21.50  will be your faith. But never believe because it is your faith it  makes reality.
Tx:21.51  They are the obvious response to calls for help, the only one It  makes. Miracles seem unnatural to the ego because it does not
Tx:22.2  from themselves. It is this difference, seen but not real, that  makes the need for sin, not real but seen, seem justified. And all
Tx:22.10  because your whole communication is like a baby's. The sounds a baby  makes and what he hears are highly unreliable, meaning different
Tx:22.19  is different. One illusion cherished and defended against the truth  makes all truth meaningless and all illusions real. Such is the power
Tx:22.31 Reason is not salvation in itself, but it  makes way for peace and brings you to a state of mind in which
Tx:22.33 Reason will tell you that the form of error is not what  makes it a mistake. If what the form conceals is a mistake, the form
Tx:22.46  what goes against the truth, flies in the face of reason, and  makes no sense. Can this be justified? What can this be except an
Tx:22.50  your unwillingness to overlook what seems to stand between you that  makes it look impenetrable and defends the illusion of its
Tx:22.53  sinless because the goal is sinlessness. The lack of contradiction  makes the soft transition from means to end as easy as is the shift
Tx:22.65  you shines throughout the universe, and because it joins you, so it  makes you one with your Creator. And in Him is all creation joined.
Tx:22.65  your relationship can also teach the power of love is there, which  makes all fear impossible? Do not attempt to keep a little of the ego
Tx:23.20  and therefore true. Each one establishes this for himself and  makes it true by his attack on what another values. And this is
Tx:23.22  punishment and not correction. For the destruction of the one who  makes the error places him beyond correction and beyond forgiveness.
Tx:23.30  will cure all of your pain; the missing factor in your madness that  makes it “sane.” This is the reason why you must attack. Here is what
Tx:23.30  it “sane.” This is the reason why you must attack. Here is what  makes your vengeance justified. Behold, unveiled, the ego's secret
Tx:23.34  that laws like these can be believed? There is a strange device that  makes it possible. Nor is it unfamiliar; we have seen how it appears
Tx:23.35  in any form be love? What form of condemnation is a blessing? Who  makes his savior powerless and finds salvation? Let not the form of
Tx:23.44 This course is easy just because it  makes no compromise. Yet it seems difficult to those who still
Tx:23.49  Either the Father and the Son are murderers or neither is. Life  makes not death, creating like itself.
Tx:24.9  see no specialness of any kind between you? Look fairly at whatever  makes you give each other only partial welcome or would let you think
Tx:24.9  is limited by your relationship? And is not this the “enemy” that  makes you both illusions to each other?
Tx:24.12 Comparison must be an ego device, for love  makes none. Specialness always makes comparisons. It is established
Tx:24.12  must be an ego device, for love makes none. Specialness always  makes comparisons. It is established by a lack seen in another and
Tx:24.17  of truth: you will no longer see what never was, nor hear what  makes no sound. Is it a sacrifice to give up nothing and to receive
Tx:24.22  that you have lost because he is complete? What has been given him  makes you complete, as it does him. God's love gave you to him and
Tx:24.24 The hope of specialness  makes it seem possible God made the body as the prison-house which
Tx:24.26  to himself as lovely still. And so he calls it “unforgivable” and  makes it sin. How can he then give his forgiveness wholly, when he
Tx:24.29  specialness stands like a flaming sword of death between them and  makes them “enemies.”
Tx:24.35  the purpose of the body be but specialness? And it is this that  makes it frail and helpless in its own defense. It was conceived to
Tx:24.40  you can wish for something and lack faith that it is so. Wishing  makes real, as surely as does will create. The power of a wish
Tx:24.61  what you do through Christ it does not know. To Him this judgment  makes no sense at all, for only what His Father wills is possible,
Tx:24.67  of everything on earth is simply this: “What is it for?” The answer  makes it what it is for you. It has no meaning of itself, yet you can
Tx:24.69 This course  makes no attempt to teach what cannot easily be learned. Its scope
Tx:24.69  Perception does not seem to be a means. And it is this that  makes it hard to grasp the whole extent to which it must depend on
Tx:24.70  that feel it, and the ears with which you listened to the sounds it  makes. It proves its own reality to you.
Tx:25.3  that shines from Him. And nothing that the body says or does but  makes Him manifest. To those who know Him not, it carries Him in
Tx:25.32  as such that varies. Yet it is the way in which the aim is seen that  makes the choice of means inevitable and beyond the hope of change
Tx:25.33  harmful or beneficent apart from what you wish. It is your wish that  makes it what it is in its effects on you. Because you chose it as a
Tx:25.38 Attack  makes Christ your enemy and God along with Him. Must you not be
Tx:25.44  the grace of God upon your eyes and brings the gift of light that  makes sight possible.
Tx:25.52  is mad or is this world a place of madness. Not one Thought of His  makes any sense at all within this world. And nothing that the world
Tx:25.52  the world believes as true has any meaning in His Mind at all. What  makes no sense and has no meaning is insanity. And what is madness
Tx:25.53  not think differently. And it is the agreement of their thought that  makes the Son a co-creator with the mind Whose Thought created him.
Tx:25.56  Yet if His Will is seen as madness, then the form of sanity which  makes it most acceptable to those who are insane requires special
Tx:25.65  else but not escaped. The laws of sin demand a victim. Who it may be  makes little difference. But death must be the cost and must be paid.
Tx:25.81 The sight of innocence  makes punishment impossible and justice sure. The Holy Spirit's
Tx:26.5  that they might see a purpose in the world that gives it sense and  makes it meaningful. Without your special function has this world no
Tx:26.12  or place and time, or any attribute which you perceive that  makes each one seem different from the rest. Think not the limits you
Tx:26.13  He does not pause to judge whether the hurt be large or little. He  makes but one judgment—that to hurt God's Son must be unfair and
Tx:26.18  complexity in Him? What is there to decide? For it is conflict that  makes choice [complex]. The truth is simple—it is one, without an
Tx:26.18  its simple presence and bring complexity where oneness is? The truth  makes no decisions, for there is nothing to decide between. And only
Tx:26.20  a segment of the universe made true. This is because knowledge  makes no attack upon perception. They are brought together, and only
Tx:26.29  and remains without a voice that adds its power to the song and  makes it sweeter still. And each one joins the singing at the altar
Tx:26.51  Yet it appears some are more true than others, although this clearly  makes no sense at all. All that a hierarchy of illusions can show is
Tx:26.69  time because you still believe you are external to each other. This  makes trust impossible. And you cannot believe that trust would
Tx:26.70  a little time in which forgiveness is withheld a little while. This  makes the interval between the time in which forgiveness is withheld
Tx:27.45  If you wish only to be healed, you heal. Your single purpose  makes this possible. But if you are afraid of healing, then it cannot
Tx:27.55  name, as one steps forward and another back. Yet which is foremost  makes no difference. Sin's witnesses hear but the call of death.
Tx:27.58 The miracle  makes no distinctions in the names by which sin's witnesses are
Tx:27.64  exactly as it is could fail to see it does not follow, and it  makes no sense. Yet it seems sensible because it looks as if the
Tx:27.68  them for yourself. This is how all illusions come about. The one who  makes them does not see himself as making them, and their reality
Tx:28.48  bitterness and death, of sin and suffering, [of] pain and loss, that  makes them real. Unshared, they are perceived as meaningless. The
Tx:28.52  in any place or time. For it fills every place and every time and  makes them wholly indivisible.
Tx:28.55  because it has no feeling. It behaves in ways you want but never  makes the choice. It is not born and does not die. It can but follow
Tx:29.19  was built as temple unto death. He lives in God, and it is this that  makes him savior unto you, and only this. His body's nothingness
Tx:29.65  his thoughts, because he thinks the thoughts are real. And so he  makes of anything a toy to make his world remain outside himself, and
Tx:30.27 Thus you now can ask a question that  makes sense, and so the answer will make sense as well. Nor will you
Tx:30.32  will be wholly shared. For they have understood the basic law that  makes decision powerful and gives it all effects that it will ever
Tx:30.53  been deceived. Attack has power to make illusions real. Yet what it  makes is nothing. Who could be made fearful by a power that can have
Tx:30.86  apart from this idea. And it is this idea of different goals which  makes perception shift and meaning change. In one united goal does
Tx:30.86  In one united goal does this become impossible, for your agreement  makes interpretation stabilize and last.
Tx:30.89  form and capable of change. Reality is changeless. It is this that  makes it real and keeps it separate from all appearances. It must

Tx:31.4  until a world was built that suited you. And every lesson that  makes up the world arises from the first accomplishment of learning—
Tx:31.39  that happiness is ever found by following a road away from it. This  makes no sense and cannot be the way. To you who seem to find this
Tx:31.45  accords to those who would be generous and good. This aspect never  makes the first attack. But every day a hundred little things make
Tx:31.46  fact the world deals harshly with defenseless innocence? No one who  makes a picture of himself omits this face, for he has need of it.
Tx:31.48  be neither blamed for what you are, nor can you change the things it  makes you do. And you are each the symbol of your sins to one
Tx:31.54  the concept of the self from what is wholly passive and at least  makes way for active choice and some acknowledgment that interaction
Tx:31.65  are nor what you think the truth about yourself must really be. It  makes no difference what you look upon nor what you choose to feel or
W1:23.1  is meaningless. But this way cannot fail. Every thought you have  makes up some segment of the world you see. It is with your thoughts,
W1:25.2  interests, because the ego is not you. This false identification  makes you incapable of understanding what anything is for. As a
W1:25.4  understand is what you want to reach him for. And it is this that  makes your contact with him meaningful or not.
W1:44.2  outside you. An essential part of this equipment is the light that  makes seeing possible. It is with you always, making vision possible
W1:68.2  seems to split you off from your Source and make you unlike Him. It  makes you believe that He is like what you think you have become, for
W1:70.6  us to be healed, and we do not really want to be sick, because it  makes us unhappy. Therefore, in accepting the idea for today, we are
W1:72.6 The body's apparent reality  makes this view of God quite convincing. In fact, if the body were
W1:75.4  us. This is what we want to see, and only this. Our single purpose  makes our goal inevitable. Today the real world rises before us in
W1:83.5  both come from the same Source. And I must learn to recognize what  makes me happy if I would find happiness.
W1:91.2  presence is unknown to you. And the seeming reality of the darkness  makes the idea of light meaningless.
W1:91.4  you feel this strength. When you have felt the strength in you which  makes all miracles within your easy reach, you will not doubt. The
W1:94.1  one idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which  makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one thought which
W1:95.1  one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity  makes change in you impossible. You do not accept this and you fail
W1:95.3  attempt today to be aware of only what can hear and see and what  makes perfect sense. We will again direct our exercises towards
W1:96.5 Spirit  makes use of mind as means to find its Self-expression. And the mind
W1:97.3  minutes which you give are multiplied over and over, for the miracle  makes use of time but is not ruled by it. Salvation is a miracle, the

W1:102.1  now, at least enough to let you question it and to suspect it really  makes no sense. It has not gone as yet but lacks the roots that once
W1:108.2 True light which  makes true vision possible is not the light the body's eyes behold.
W1:121.11  it, and then try to let this light extend until it covers him and  makes the picture beautiful and good.
W1:126.11  as you can, remind yourself you have a goal today—an aim which  makes this day of special value to yourself and all your brothers. Do
W1:127.11  would know our Self. At least three times an hour think of one who  makes the journey with you and who came to learn what you must learn.

W1:134.6 It is sin's unreality that  makes forgiveness natural and wholly sane, a deep relief to those who
W1:135.16  happenings. It does not think that it will be provided for unless it  makes its own provisions. Time becomes a future emphasis to be
W1:135.26  must be defended from release. Heaven asks nothing. It is hell that  makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. You give up nothing in these
W1:136.5  quick forgetting of the part you play in making your “reality” which  makes defenses seem to be beyond your own control. But what you have
W1:136.8  It is not a thing that happens to you quite unsought, which  makes you weak and brings you suffering. It is a choice you make, a
W1:138.2 It is this strange perception of the truth that  makes the choice of Heaven seem to be the same as the relinquishment

W1:152.6  such things seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only madness  makes a world like this.
W1:153.2  gives rise but to defensiveness. For threat brings anger, anger  makes attack seem reasonable, honestly provoked, and righteous in the
W1:156.1 Today's idea but states the simple truth that  makes the thought of sin impossible. It promises there is no cause
W1:161.5 It seems to be the body that we feel limits our freedom,  makes us suffer, and at last puts out our life. Yet bodies are but
W1:161.12  his clothing. Watch him smile, and see familiar gestures which he  makes so frequently. Then think of this—what you are seeing now
W1:162.3 Holy indeed is he who  makes these words his own—arising with them in his mind, recalling
W1:165.1 What  makes this world seem real except your own denial of the truth which
W1:165.2  It left you not. The Thought of God protects you, cares for you,  makes soft your resting place and smooth your way, lighting your mind
W1:167.10  not as we imagine it. Who changes life because he shuts his eyes or  makes himself what he is not because he sleeps and sees in dreams an
W1:167.12  mere reflection. It becomes the thing reflected and the light which  makes reflection possible. No vision now is needed. For the wakened
W1:168.1 God speaks to us. Shall we not speak to Him? He is not distant. He  makes no attempt to hide from us. We try to hide from Him and suffer
W1:I2.1  will bestow, if only intermittently. It is experiencing this which  makes it sure that you will give your total willingness to following
W1:182.3  find, not recognizing what it is he seeks. A thousand homes he  makes, yet none contents his restless mind. He does not understand he
W1:183.11  calls on his Father's Name. His Father's Thoughts become his own. He  makes his claim to all his Father gave, is giving still, and will
W1:184.8  is hidden from you by what you believe he really is. His body  makes response to what you call him, for his mind consents to take
W1:186.6 Arrogance  makes an image of yourself that is not real. It is this image which
W1:192.3  has the power to translate into form the wholly formless. What He  makes are dreams, but of a kind so close to waking that the light of
W1:193.7  that is the content underneath the form. It is this sameness which  makes learning sure because the lesson is so simple that it cannot be
W1:195.4  than you, nor could you sanely be enraged if he seems freer. Love  makes no comparisons. And gratitude can only be sincere if it is
W1:197.9  as you receive it. Be you free of all ingratitude to anyone who  makes your Self complete. And from this Self is no one left outside.
W1:198.1 Injury is impossible. And yet illusion  makes illusion. If you can condemn, you can be injured. For you have
W1:198.2  at all. Yet must we deal with them a while as if they had. Illusion  makes illusion. Except one. Forgiveness is illusion that is answer to
W1:R6.5  a deep relinquishment of everything that clutters up the mind and  makes it deaf to reason, sanity, and simple truth.
W2:I.2  spending time with Him each morning and at night, as long as  makes us happy. We will not consider time a matter of duration now.
W2:WF.2 An unforgiving thought is one which  makes a judgment that it will not raise to doubt, although it is not

Tx:14.22  communicate the meaningless. But He will separate out all that has  meaning, dropping off the rest and offering your true communication
Tx:14.31  you see means anything alone. Seeing with Him will show you that all  meaning, including yours, comes not from double vision but from the
Tx:14.31  from double vision but from the gentle fusing of everything into one  meaning, one emotion, and one purpose. God has one purpose which He

Tx:14.55  you bring with you a light so powerful that what you see is given  meaning. The lonely journey fails because it has excluded what it
Tx:14.60  past, but its influence determines the present by giving it whatever  meaning it holds for you. Your learning gives the present no meaning

Tx:15.54  in your blessing, it becomes one to you. The meaning of love is the  meaning God gave to it. Give to it any meaning apart from His, and it
Tx:15.54  The meaning of love is the meaning God gave to it. Give to it any  meaning apart from His, and it is impossible to understand it. Every
Tx:15.55  to eternity and to the Mind of God. And it is only there love has  meaning, and only there can it be understood.
Tx:15.60  for here there is no conflict. In the world of scarcity, love has no  meaning, and peace is impossible. For gain and loss are both
Tx:15.61 In the holy instant, the laws of God prevail, and only they have  meaning. The laws of this world cease to hold any meaning at all.
Tx:15.61  and only they have meaning. The laws of this world cease to hold any  meaning at all. When the Son of God accepts the laws of God as what
Tx:15.63  Self, you will learn to understand Selfhood. And therein is love's  meaning understood. But remember that understanding is of the mind
Tx:15.84  of God. And let Him Whose teaching is only of God teach you the only  meaning of relationships. For God created the only relationship which

Tx:15.86  must be unlimited in order to have meaning, and deprived of  meaning, it will not satisfy you completely. Yet it remains the only
Tx:15.92  release. The time of Christ we celebrate together, for it has no  meaning if we are apart.

Tx:15.106  It is impossible to deny what love is and still recognize it. The  meaning of love lies in what you have cast outside yourself, and it
Tx:15.106  of love lies in what you have cast outside yourself, and it has no  meaning at all apart from you. It is what you preferred to keep that
Tx:15.106  at all apart from you. It is what you preferred to keep that has no  meaning, while all that you would keep away holds all the meaning of
Tx:15.106  has no meaning, while all that you would keep away holds all the  meaning of the universe and holds the universe together in its
Tx:15.106  the meaning of the universe and holds the universe together in its  meaning. For unless the universe were joined in you, it would be
Tx:15.106  it would be apart from God, and to be without Him is to be without  meaning.
Tx:16.7 The  meaning of love is lost in any relationship which looks to weakness
Tx:16.7  and hopes to find love there. The power of love, which is its  meaning, lies in the strength of God, which hovers over it and
Tx:16.12  of what miracles mean. And if you could understand their  meaning, their attributes could hardly cause you perplexity.
Tx:16.30  lies in looking at it. It would be impossible not to know the  meaning of love except for this. For the special love relationship,
Tx:16.30  except for this. For the special love relationship, in which the  meaning of love is lost, is undertaken solely to offset the hate but
Tx:16.31  symbols stand for something else, and the symbol of love is without  meaning if love is everything. You will go through this last undoing
Tx:16.45  a direction exactly opposite of what is true. In Heaven, where the  meaning of love is known, love is the same as union. Here, where the
Tx:16.54  form to take the place of God at the expense of content. There is no  meaning in the form, and there will never be. The special
Tx:16.54  the sign that form has triumphed over content and love has lost its  meaning. Would you want this to be possible, even apart from its
Tx:16.57  delusion lies simply in the fantasy of destruction of love's  meaning. And unless love's meaning is restored to you, you cannot
Tx:16.57  in the fantasy of destruction of love's meaning. And unless love's  meaning is restored to you, you cannot know yourself, who shares its
Tx:16.57  meaning is restored to you, you cannot know yourself, who shares its  meaning. Separation is only the decision not to know yourself. Its
Tx:16.59  ego. To the ego unless a relationship has special value, it has no  meaning, and it perceives all love as special. Yet this cannot be
Tx:16.59  love as He would have it be and gave it as it is. Love has no  meaning except as its Creator defined it by His Will. It is
Tx:16.61 The special relationship is totally without  meaning without a body. And if you value it, you must also value the
Tx:16.64  the special relationship. Without this illusion, there can be no  meaning you would still seek here.
Tx:16.71  Shades of the past envelop it and make it what it is. It has no  meaning in the present, and if it means nothing now, it cannot have
Tx:16.71  in the present, and if it means nothing now, it cannot have any real  meaning at all. How can you change the past except in fantasy? And
Tx:17.5  what truth means from the perspective of illusions? Truth has no  meaning in illusion. The frame of reference for its meaning must be
Tx:17.5  Truth has no meaning in illusion. The frame of reference for its  meaning must be itself. When you try to bring truth to illusions, you
Tx:17.12  is the end of dreams and with the closing of the dream will have no  meaning. Who awake in Heaven could dream that there could ever be
Tx:17.24  now. Yet the frame of reference to which the present is referred for  meaning is an illusion of the past in which those elements which fit
Tx:17.38  pictures only that you compare, or the comparison is wholly without  meaning. Remember that it is the picture that is the gift. And only
Tx:17.39  itself, seeing at last that, unprotected by the frame, it has no  meaning.
Tx:17.41  your little picture, wholly without value and entirely deprived of  meaning.

Tx:17.60  becomes the useless from this point of view. The situation now has  meaning, but only because the goal has made it meaningful.
Tx:17.65  impossible. For if you shift part of the problem elsewhere, the  meaning of the problem must be lost, and the solution to the problem
Tx:17.65  must be lost, and the solution to the problem is inherent in its  meaning. Is it not possible that all your problems have been solved,
Tx:17.71  For it shares the purpose of your whole relationship and derives its  meaning from it.
Tx:17.74  or an extreme example of what every situation is meant to be. The  meaning which the Holy Spirit's purpose has given it is also given to
Tx:17.74  the shining example, the clear and unequivocal demonstration of the  meaning of every relationship and every situation, seen as a whole.
Tx:18.26  but only of what you have made of it. You are advancing to love's  meaning and away from all illusions in which you have surrounded it.
Tx:18.41  difference between truth and illusion, the Atonement would have no  meaning. The holy instant, your holy relationship, the Holy Spirit's
Tx:18.54  source of your guilt. You have done this to a thing that has no  meaning, proclaiming it to be the dwelling-place of the Son of God
Tx:18.75  one Creator for everything and needing the whole to give them any  meaning, for by themselves they do mean nothing. Nor have they any
Tx:18.78  to everything created like itself. Its total lack of limit is its  meaning. It is completely impartial in its giving, encompassing only
Tx:18.96 Love is not learned. Its  meaning lies in itself. And learning ends when you have recognized

Tx:20.49  darkness; a hidden secret room, a tiny spot of senseless mystery, a  meaningless enclosure carefully protected, yet hiding nothing. Here
Tx:20.52  God unholy seemed to be possible, all your relationships were made  meaningless. In that unholy instant, time was born and bodies made to
Tx:20.57  God as equal things are like unto each other. Idolatry is past and  meaningless. Perhaps you fear each other a little yet; perhaps a
Tx:20.64  each one is a choice of purpose, employed on its behalf. Either is  meaningless without the end for which it was intended, nor is it
Tx:21.1  not a cause. And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is  meaningless. Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy.

Tx:22.16  not disillusionment, but truth. Only to the ego, to which truth is  meaningless, do they appear to be the only alternatives and different
Tx:22.19  illusion cherished and defended against the truth makes all truth  meaningless and all illusions real. Such is the power of belief. It

Tx:25.10  part of you is separate, the concept of a oneness joined as one is  meaningless. It is apparent that a mind so split could never be the

Tx:25.37  he is. The need for guilt is gone because it has no purpose and is  meaningless without the goal of sin. Attack and sin are bound as one
Tx:25.37  illusion, each the cause and aim and justifier of the other. Each is  meaningless alone, but seems to draw a meaning from the other. Each
Tx:25.53  real because the Father and the Son are not insane. This world is  meaningless because it rests on sin. Who could create the changeless
Tx:25.55  is not love is sin, and either one perceives the other as insane and  meaningless. Love is the basis for a world perceived as wholly mad to
Tx:26.31  end is [nothing. It] is but a little hindrance to eternity, quite  meaningless to the real Teacher of the world. Yet since you do
Tx:26.86  given meaning and perceived as sensible. And only some are seen as  meaningless. And this denies the fact that all are senseless—
Tx:27.29  it, and weakened power is a contradiction in ideas. Weak strength is  meaningless, and power used to weaken is employed to limit. And

W1:12.8  you would have it be. It is this you see in it. It is this that is  meaningless in truth. Beneath your words is written the Word of God.
W1:13.1  that it is more specific as to the emotion aroused. Actually, a  meaningless world is impossible. Nothing without meaning exists.
W1:13.3 It is essential, therefore, that you learn to recognize the  meaningless and accept it without fear. If you are fearful, it is
W1:13.5 I am looking at a  meaningless world.
W1:13.7 A  meaningless world engenders fear because I think I am in competition

Tx:3.27  that you never misperceive and always see truly. More simply, it  means that you never see what does not really exist. When you lack

Tx:3.30  you can know anything. To know is to be certain. Uncertainty merely  means that you do not know. Knowledge is power because it is certain,
Tx:3.31  not recognize or know yourselves, each other, or God. To recognize  means to “know again,” implying that you knew before. You can see in
Tx:3.31  because perception involves different interpretations, and this  means that it is not whole. The miracle is a way of perceiving, not

Tx:4.31  to convince itself that it is real. “Self esteem” in ego terms  means nothing more than that the ego has deluded itself into

Tx:4.41 You have never understood what “the Kingdom of Heaven is within you”  means. The reason you have not understood it is because it is not
Tx:4.50  into any mind which truly wants it, but it must want it truly. This  means that it wants it without ambivalence, and this kind of wanting
Tx:4.54  release. God has given you everything. This is the one fact that  means the ego does not exist and which therefore makes it profoundly
Tx:4.66  creation, for Christ is the Son of God. The second coming of Christ  means nothing more than the end of the ego's rule over part of the

Tx:4.94  depends on the specific. It is the part that believes your existence  means you are separate.
Tx:4.99  Abstraction takes joy in application, and that is what creation  means. “How,” “what,” and “to whom” are irrelevant because real

Tx:5.22 This is a conflict state. It  means that knowledge has been lost, because knowledge is sure. God is

Tx:5.29  was created. Remember that “yoke” means “join together” and “burden”  means “message.” Let us reconsider the Biblical statement, “My yoke

Tx:5.53  does not mean that you should submit to violence without protest. It  means that you cannot be hurt and do not want to show your brother
Tx:5.53  hold it against yourself. Teaching is done in many ways: by formal  means, by guidance, and above all by example. Teaching is therapy,
Tx:5.53  guidance, and above all by example. Teaching is therapy, because it  means the sharing of ideas and the awareness that to share them is to
Tx:5.59  impeccable as that of the Holy Spirit, because your mind has all the  means at its disposal to side with Heaven or earth, as it elects. But
Tx:5.62  system, and it speaks for it. Listening to the ego's voice  means that you believe it is possible to attack God. You believe that
Tx:5.76 “As ye sow, so shall ye reap” merely  means that what you believe to be worth cultivating you will
Tx:5.77  to guarantee its survival beyond itself. Actually, all the quotation  means is that the Holy Spirit in later generations retains the power
Tx:5.83  peace whose mind is stayed (or set) on Him,” a statement which  means that God's peace is set in the Holy Spirit because it is fixed
Tx:5.84  less apparent to him. A man who knows what fixation really  means and yet does not yield to it is terribly afraid.
Tx:5.85  is fixed because of the Holy Spirit's irrevocable set. “Irrevocable”  means “cannot be called back or redirected.” The irrevocable nature
Tx:5.85  a mind is fixed in its purpose, it is not clear. Clarity literally  means the state of light, and enlightenment is understanding.
Tx:5.86  does not accord with a point in time. This clearly could have been a  means toward real release from the time belief, had Freud pursued it
Tx:5.88  pessimism, personally as well as theoretically. He tried every  means his very inventive mind could devise to set up a form of

Tx:6.73  a contradiction since it is being learned by a conflicted mind. This  means conflicting motivation, and so the lesson cannot be learned
Tx:6.79  This, then, is a step in the direction out of conflict since it  means that alternatives have been considered and one has been chosen
Tx:7.4  to make a “deal,” but it cannot understand that to be like another  means that no deals are possible. To gain you must give, not bargain.
Tx:7.18  it is perfectly understood, but it does need extension because it  means extension. Communication is perfectly direct and perfectly
Tx:7.21  apply them to what you want to learn. Learning is effort, and effort  means will. We have used the term “abilities” in the plural, because
Tx:7.31  the term. Inspiration is the opposite of dispiriting and therefore  means to make joyous. The dispirited are depressed, because they
Tx:7.32  it is undertaken as separate from what already is and perceived as a  means for establishing it. To believe this is possible is to believe
Tx:7.39  more than a framework for developing abilities. It is therefore a  means for developing potentials, which is quite apart from what the
Tx:7.46  consistence, it cannot be inconsistently understood. Understanding  means consistence because God means consistence. Since that is His
Tx:7.46  understood. Understanding means consistence because God  means consistence. Since that is His meaning, it is also yours. Your
Tx:7.56  but it stems from the power of the mind, which the ego denies. This  means that the ego attacks what is preserving it, and this must be a
Tx:7.67 Allowing insanity to enter your minds  means that you have not judged sanity as wholly desirable. If you
Tx:7.69  is your will because it is God's, and nothing that opposes this  means anything at all. Being a perfect accomplishment, the Sonship
Tx:7.70  cannot be partly appreciated. That is why denying any part of it  means you have lost awareness of all of it.
Tx:7.78 Attack could never promote attack unless you perceived it as a  means of depriving you of something you want. Yet you cannot lose
Tx:7.96  If it was His Will that you have it forever, He gave you the  means for keeping it, and you have done so. Disobeying God's Will is
Tx:7.104  not mean that the guide is untrustworthy. In this case, it always  means that the follower is. However, this too is merely a matter of
Tx:7.106  you do not know, because you are confused about what you will. This  means that you are confused about what you are. If you are God's Will
Tx:8.5  with learning outcomes must be a sign of learning failure since it  means that you did not get what you want. The curriculum of the
Tx:8.18  the Holy Spirit teach you how to do this, for you will know what it  means of God Himself.
Tx:8.23  a wrong decision, including you. That is why He has given you the  means for undoing it. Through His power and glory, all your wrong
Tx:8.31  or the will itself is divided or not whole. Your will is the  means by which you determine your own condition, because will is the
Tx:8.33 When your will is not mine, it is not our Father's. This  means that you have imprisoned yours and have not let it be free. Of
Tx:8.54 Remember that the Holy Spirit interprets the body only as a  means of communication. Being the communication link between God and
Tx:8.54  because you do not interpret their bodies and yours solely as a  means of joining their minds and uniting them with yours and mine.
Tx:8.56  the use to which you have put yours. If the body becomes for you a  means which you give to the Holy Spirit to use on behalf of union of
Tx:8.61  ego, it is. Guided by the Holy Spirit, it is not. It becomes only a  means by which the part of the mind you have separated from your Soul
Tx:8.65  and you must be learning amiss. To see a body as anything except a  means of pure extension is to limit your mind and hurt yourself.
Tx:8.66  should be to escape from limitations? To conceive of the body as a  means of attack of any kind and to entertain even the possibility
Tx:8.71  and sickness possible. The ego makes a fundamental confusion between  means and ends, as it always does. Regarding the body as an end, the
Tx:8.82  of joining, taking on the ego's distortions about what joining  means if you are sleeping under its guidance. Yet the Holy Spirit,
Tx:8.86  surely begun to realize that this is a very practical course which  means exactly what it says. So does the Bible, if it is properly
Tx:8.86  and its effects but not about love and its results. Thus, “hellfire”  means “burning,” but raising the dead becomes allegorical. Actually,
Tx:8.89  of healing. This is because it is the only level at which healing  means anything. The re-establishing of meaning in a chaotic thought
Tx:8.92  who do not know what truth is. All that this kind of association  means is that you are arbitrarily endowing something quite beyond
Tx:9.3  it, He does not judge it, knowing that nothing it engenders  means anything.
Tx:9.7  it comes from love. Any attempt you make to correct a brother  means that you believe correction by you is possible, and this can
Tx:9.33  they, but they are not less than He is. Would you know what this  means? If what you do to my brother you do to me, and if you do
Tx:9.35  to awaken others. As you see them waken, you will learn what waking  means, and because you have willed to wake them, their gratitude and
Tx:9.38 God's Will is your salvation. Would He not have given you the  means to find it? If He wills you to have it, He must have made it
Tx:9.44  its foundation is not true. Therefore, nothing that arises from it  means anything. The Holy Spirit judges every belief you hold in terms
Tx:9.57  of arrogance. To accept your littleness is arrogant, because it  means that you believe your evaluation of yourself is truer than
Tx:9.59  in your mind and will conflict until you perceive time solely as a  means to regain eternity. You cannot do this as long as you believe
Tx:9.87  that you have removed part of your mind from God's Will, and this  means it is out of control. To be out of control is to be out of
Tx:9.93  for depression is the sign of allegiance to him. Depression  means that you have foresworn God. Men are afraid of blasphemy, but
Tx:9.93  God. Men are afraid of blasphemy, but they do not know what it  means. They do not realize that to deny God is to deny their own
Tx:9.95  is in direct opposition to its own survival. But consider what this  means to you. Unless you are sick, you cannot keep the gods you made,
Tx:9.95  them. Blasphemy, then, is self-destructive, not God-destructive. It  means that you are willing not to know yourself in order to be sick.
Tx:9.98  love for Him, you could not deny Him. Your denial of Him therefore  means that you love Him and that you know He loves you. Remember that
Tx:9.100  that do. Remember, though, that to do this is blasphemy, for it  means that you are looking without love on God and His creation, from
Tx:9.103  for the misery you have made for yourselves. God has given you the  means for undoing what you have made. Listen, and you will learn what
Tx:10.45  as threatening and has twisted even your longing for God into a  means of establishing itself. But do not be deceived by its
Tx:10.53  of wholeness comes only through acceptance, for to analyze  means to separate out. The attempt to understand totality by breaking
Tx:10.60  together. There has been much confusion about what perception  means because the same word is used both for awareness and for the
Tx:10.60  it. And if belief determines perception, you do not perceive what it  means and therefore do not accept it.
Tx:10.75  they do not understand what they perceive, and so they ask what it  means. Do not make the mistake of believing that you understand what
Tx:11.4  to your own mind is not yet fully apparent to you, but this by no  means signifies that it is not perfectly clear. If you maintain that
Tx:11.10  that fear is an appeal for help. This is what recognizing it really  means. If you do not protect it, He will reinterpret it. That is the
Tx:11.11  that fear does not exist in you, for you have in yourself the  means for removing it and have demonstrated this by giving it. Fear
Tx:11.22  obstacle to real vision without looking upon it, for to lay aside  means to judge against. If you will look, the Holy Spirit will judge
Tx:11.25  that he is and are making his error real to both of you. Insistence  means investment, and what you invest in is always related to your
Tx:11.52  is totally unambiguous because the goal is not divided, and the  means and the end are in complete accord. You need offer only
Tx:11.96  past to future. No one who believes this can understand what always  means. And therefore guilt must deprive you of the appreciation of
Tx:12.31  Spirit would release you from it. It is His interpretation of the  means of salvation which you must learn to accept if you would share
Tx:12.45  meet your sight, for all reality leaves no room for any error. This  means that you perceive a brother only as you see him now. His past
Tx:13.14  brings a re-evaluation of everything you cherish, for it is the  means by which the Holy Spirit can separate the false and the true,
Tx:13.23  real relationships at all. Can you expect to use your brothers as a  means to “solve” the past and still to see them as they really are?
Tx:13.47  indeed. Yet in this world, you do not know it. But you have the  means for learning it and seeing it quite clearly. The Holy Spirit
Tx:13.53  has become so twisted and so complex that you cannot see that it  means nothing. He merely looks at its foundation and dismisses it.
Tx:13.54  the foundation on which this most peculiar learning goal depends  means absolutely nothing. It does make sense to you.

Tx:14.3  know that they are sinless. The Atonement was established as the  means of restoring guiltlessness to the mind which has denied it and
Tx:14.19  them with each other. And so you do not realize that only one  means anything, and the other is wholly without sense of any kind.
Tx:14.20 You have interpreted the separation as a  means which you have made for breaking your communication with your
Tx:14.20  communication with your Father. The Holy Spirit reinterprets it as a  means of reestablishing what has not been broken but has been made
Tx:14.22  at once, and this must lead to unintelligibility. Yet if one  means nothing and the other everything, only that one is possible for

Tx:14.29  translated by the Holy Spirit from means of self-destruction to  means of preservation and release. His task is mighty, but the power
Tx:14.31  recognize what you see. It is the recognition that nothing you see  means anything alone. Seeing with Him will show you that all meaning,
Tx:14.55  impossible to remember God in secret and alone. For remembering Him  means you are not alone and willing to remember it. Take no thought
Tx:14.57  learned that this identity is shared. The miracle becomes the  means of sharing it. By supplying your identity wherever it is not
Tx:14.62  you. Never believe that any lesson you have learned apart from Him  means anything.
Tx:14.63  and hinder you and everyone around you. The absence of perfect peace  means but one thing: you think you do not will for God's Son what His
Tx:14.65 I do not know what anything, including this,  means. And so I do not know how to respond to it. And I will not use
Tx:14.67  for it is you who made them necessary. And because you did, the  means on which you can depend for miracles has been provided for you.
Tx:15.1 Can you imagine what it  means to have no cares, no worries, no anxieties, but merely to be
Tx:15.30  in you in honor of Him Whose host you are. You know not what love  means because you have sought to purchase it with little gifts, thus
Tx:15.35  you prefer to believe that what God wills takes time. And this  means only that you would rather delay the recognition that His Will
Tx:15.40  is a time in which you receive and give perfect communication. This  means, however, that it is a time in which your mind is open, both to
Tx:15.45  it would be quite apparent to you that you do not know what anything  means. You are afraid of this because you believe that without the
Tx:15.47 You cannot love parts of reality and understand what love  means. If you would love unlike to God, Who knows no special love,
Tx:15.86  meaning, it will not satisfy you completely. Yet it remains the only  means by which you can establish real relationships.
Tx:15.87  and while you think it has a purpose, you will choose to utilize the  means by which it tries to turn its purpose into accomplishment. This
Tx:15.91  body ceases to attract you and when you place no value on it as a  means for getting anything, then there will be no interference in
Tx:15.92  attraction of guilt does stand between them. Neither time nor season  means anything in eternity. But here it is the Holy Spirit's function
Tx:15.96  essential to your thought system that salvation apart from sacrifice  means nothing to you. Your confusion of sacrifice and love is so
Tx:15.107  is destroyed, provided that you see not the body as the necessary  means of communication. And if you understand this lesson, you will
Tx:16.2  and to weaken is always to attack. You do not know what empathizing  means. Yet of this you may be sure—if you will merely sit quietly
Tx:16.14  afraid to acknowledge what He taught you. For this acknowledgment  means that what has happened you do not understand but that you are
Tx:16.22  are immediately accepted as your choice. And this acceptance  means that you are willing to judge yourself accordingly. Cause and
Tx:16.64  of actual disorientation seems to occur. But fear it not, for it  means nothing more than that you have been willing to let go your
Tx:16.71  and make it what it is. It has no meaning in the present, and if it  means nothing now, it cannot have any real meaning at all. How can
Tx:17.5 Think you that you can bring truth to fantasy and learn what truth  means from the perspective of illusions? Truth has no meaning in
Tx:17.16  attempt at union through the body, for only bodies can be seen as  means for vengeance. That bodies are central to all unholy
Tx:17.18  to intrude upon the dream of happiness. Yet consider what this  means—the more reality that enters into the unholy relationship,
Tx:17.19  How can the Holy Spirit bring His interpretation of the body as a  means of communication into relationships whose only purpose is
Tx:17.31  that it is totally insane. And you must realize just what this  means if you would be restored to sanity. The insane protect their
Tx:17.55  with you. Think you not the goal itself will gladly arrange the  means for its accomplishment? It is just this same discrepancy
Tx:17.55  same discrepancy between the purpose that has been accepted and the  means as they stand now which seems to make you suffer, but which
Tx:17.55  are joined in purpose, but remain still separate and divided on the  means.
Tx:17.56 Yet the goal is fixed, firm, and unalterable, and the  means will surely fall in place because the goal is sure. And you
Tx:17.59  no idea what should happen. No goal was set with which to bring the  means in line. And now the only judgment left to make is whether or
Tx:17.60  want to happen is simply that you will perceive the situation as a  means to make it happen. You will therefore make every effort to
Tx:17.68 Every situation in which you find yourself is but a  means to meet the purpose set for your relationship. See it as
Tx:17.72  same purpose called forth the faith in you. And you will see the  means you once employed to lead you to illusions transformed to means
Tx:17.72  the means you once employed to lead you to illusions transformed to  means for truth. [Truth calls for faith, and faith makes room for
Tx:17.76  instantly transforms all situations into one sure and continuous  means for establishing His purpose and demonstrating its reality.
Tx:17.78  only purpose. See only this in every situation, and it will be a  means for bringing only this.
Tx:18.19  dreams, the special relationship [has a special place. It is the  means by which you try to make your sleeping dreams come true. From
Tx:18.20  ever practical in His wisdom, accepts your dreams and uses them as  means for waking. You would have used them to remain asleep. We once
Tx:18.21 Your special relationship will be a  means for undoing guilt in everyone blessed through your holy
Tx:18.21  you to whom He gave the gift. He uses everyone who calls on Him as  means for the salvation of everyone. And He will waken everyone
Tx:18.23 Yet Heaven is sure. This is no dream. Its coming  means that you have chosen truth, and it has come because you have
Tx:18.26  fear increases, for there is little doubt that what you think it  means is fearful. Yet what is that to us who travel surely and very
Tx:18.41  your holy relationship, the Holy Spirit's teaching, and all the  means by which salvation is accomplished would have no purpose. For
Tx:18.43  because God wills it. Nor will He change His Mind about it. The  means and purpose both belong to Him. You have accepted one; the
Tx:18.43  one; the other will be provided. A purpose such as this without the  means is inconceivable. He will provide the means to anyone who
Tx:18.43  such as this without the means is inconceivable. He will provide the  means to anyone who shares His purpose.
Tx:18.44  “Thy will be done,” and not, “I want it otherwise.” The alignment of  means and purpose is an undertaking impossible for you to understand.
Tx:18.44  Holy Spirit's purpose as your own, and you would merely bring unholy  means to its accomplishment. The little faith it needed to change the
Tx:18.44  needed to change the purpose is all that is required to receive the  means and use them.
Tx:18.53 Would you not have the instruments of separation reinterpreted as  means for salvation and used for purposes of love? Would you not
Tx:18.63  protection or enjoyment in some way? This makes it an end and not a  means in your interpretation, and this always means you still find
Tx:18.63  it an end and not a means in your interpretation, and this always  means you still find sin attractive. No one accepts Atonement for
Tx:18.66  attempts will ultimately succeed because of their purpose. Yet the  means are tedious and very time consuming, for all of them look to
Tx:18.67 Your way will be different, not in purpose but in  means. A holy relationship is a means of saving time. One instant
Tx:18.67  be different, not in purpose but in means. A holy relationship is a  means of saving time. One instant spent together restores the
Tx:18.68  has been saved for you because you are together. This is the special  means this course is using to save you time. You are not making use
Tx:18.68  time. You are not making use of the course if you insist on using  means which have served others well, neglecting what was made for
Tx:18.75  to be self-contained, needing each other for some things but by no  means totally dependent on their one Creator for everything and
Tx:19.6  attain, for part of it is sought through the body, thought of as a  means for seeking out reality through attack, while the other part
Tx:19.37  gently in [has already begun. This is the way in which He will bring  means and goal in line. The peace He laid deep within both of you]
Tx:19.56 I am made welcome in the state of grace, which  means you have at last forgiven me. For I became the symbol of your
Tx:19.56  of your sin, and so I had to die instead of you. To the ego sin  means death, and so Atonement is achieved through murder. Salvation
Tx:19.57  keep us apart? Mine was no greater value than yours; no better  means for communication of salvation, but not its Source. No one can
Tx:19.69  bring you neither peace nor turmoil; neither pain nor joy. It is a  means and not an end. It has no purpose of itself, but only what is
Tx:19.69  only what is given to it. The body will seem to be whatever is the  means for reaching the goal that you assign to it. [Only the mind can
Tx:19.69  to it. [Only the mind can set a purpose, and only mind can see the  means for its accomplishment and justify its use.] Peace and guilt
Tx:20.24  other? That is the purpose of your holy relationship. Ask not the  means of its attainment of the one thing that still would have it be
Tx:20.24  that still would have it be unholy. Give it no power to adjust the  means and end.
Tx:20.39  your brother's value. Only the ego does this, but all it  means is that it wants the other for itself and therefore values him
Tx:20.41  of a holy relationship. And while you look upon each other thus, the  means and end have not been brought in line. Why should it take so
Tx:20.42  is everything. Here is the loveliness of your relationship, with  means and end in perfect harmony already. Here is the perfect faith
Tx:20.58 We have said much about discrepancies of  means and end and how these must be brought in line before your holy
Tx:20.58  holy relationship can bring you only joy. But we have also said the  means to meet the Holy Spirit's goal will come from the same Source
Tx:20.58  more difficult than others are merely indications of areas where  means and end are still discrepant. And this produces great
Tx:20.59  To the extent you still experience it, you are refusing to leave the  means to Him Who changed the purpose. You recognize you want the
Tx:20.59  recognize you want the goal. Are you not also willing to accept the  means? If you are not, let us admit that you are inconsistent. A
Tx:20.59  let us admit that you are inconsistent. A purpose is attained by  means, and if you want a purpose, you must be willing to want the
Tx:20.59  by means, and if you want a purpose, you must be willing to want the  means as well. How can one be sincere and say, “I want this above all
Tx:20.59  say, “I want this above all else, and yet I do not want to learn the  means to get it”?
Tx:20.60  the Holy Spirit indeed asked little. He asks no more to give the  means as well. The means are second to the goal. And when you
Tx:20.60  indeed asked little. He asks no more to give the means as well. The  means are second to the goal. And when you hesitate, it is because
Tx:20.60  you hesitate, it is because the purpose frightens you, and not the  means. Remember this, for otherwise you will make the error of
Tx:20.60  this, for otherwise you will make the error of believing the  means are difficult. Yet how can they be difficult if they are merely
Tx:20.60  the purpose has been shaken. For if a goal is possible to reach, the  means to do so must be possible as well.
Tx:20.62 The body is the  means by which the ego tries to make the unholy relationship seem
Tx:20.62  with the purpose of unholiness. Because of this consistency, the  means remain unquestioned while the end is cherished. Vision adapts
Tx:20.64  The difference lies not in them, but in their purpose. Both are but  means, each one appropriate to the end for which it is employed.
Tx:20.64  nor is it valued as a separate thing apart from the intention. The  means seem real because the goal is valued. And judgment has no value
Tx:20.65  To see the body is the sign that you lack vision and have denied the  means the Holy Spirit offers you to serve His purpose. How can a holy
Tx:20.65  purpose. How can a holy relationship achieve its purpose through the  means of sin? Judgment you taught yourself; vision is learned from
Tx:20.65  your purpose, and while this purpose seems to have any meaning, the  means for its attainment will be evaluated as worth the seeing, and
Tx:20.66  is your escape from fear. Salvation is the Holy Spirit's goal. The  means is vision. For what the seeing look upon is sinless. No one who
Tx:20.68  be its effects. And as its holy purpose was not made by you, the  means by which its happy end is yours is also not of you. Rejoice in
Tx:20.68  is yours but for the asking and think not that you need make either  means or end. All this is given you who would but see your brother
Tx:20.72  will be deprived of meaning, and its most holy purpose bereft of  means for its accomplishment.
Tx:20.73 Judgment is but a toy, a whim, the senseless  means to play the idle game of death in your imagination. But vision
Tx:20.75  goal. Hallucinations serve to meet the goal of madness. They are the  means by which the outside world, projected from within, adjusts to
Tx:20.76  or better, if you saw at all or merely judged against. Vision is the  means by which the Holy Spirit translates your nightmares into happy
Tx:21.1  upon with vision is healed and holy. Nothing perceived without it  means anything. And where there is no meaning, there is chaos.
Tx:21.5  forget. It is not this you would deny. Your question is whether the  means by which this course is learned will bring to you the joy it
Tx:21.32 Faith and belief and vision are the  means by which the goal of holiness is reached. Through them the Holy
Tx:21.33  about himself. For faith, perception, and belief you made as  means for losing certainty and finding sin. This mad direction was
Tx:21.34 The Holy Spirit has a use for all the  means for sin by which you sought to find it. But as He uses them,
Tx:21.34  sin because His purpose lies in the opposite direction. He sees the  means you use but not the purpose for which you made them. He would
Tx:21.34  them. He would not take them from you, for He sees their value as a  means for what He wills for you. You made perception that you might
Tx:21.34  and seek for sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees perception as a  means to teach you that the vision of a holy relationship is all you
Tx:21.35 Faith and belief become attached to vision, as all the  means that once served sin are redirected now toward holiness. For
Tx:21.35  to forgive him, you would condemn him to the body because the  means for sin are dear to you. And so the body has your faith and
Tx:21.36  brothers from the body can have no fear. They have renounced the  means for sin by choosing to let all limitations be removed. Desiring
Tx:21.38  is in the mind, which tries to use the body to carry out the  means for sin in which the mind believes. Thus is the joining of mind
Tx:21.38  belief of those who value sin. And so is sacrifice invariably a  means for limitation and thus for hate.
Tx:21.40  in it to serve the Holy Spirit's goal and give it power to serve as  means to help the blind to see. But in their seeing, they look past
Tx:21.55  insane can disregard them, and you have gone past this. Reason is a  means which serves the Holy Spirit's purpose in its own right. It is
Tx:21.55  of sin as are the others. For reason is beyond the ego's range of  means.
Tx:21.57  Reason is alien to insanity, and those who use it have gained a  means which cannot be applied to sin. Knowledge is far beyond
Tx:21.58  beyond itself, as does the purpose which it serves and all the  means for its accomplishment.
Tx:21.63  are insane. But madness has a purpose and believes it also has the  means to make its purpose real. To see the body as a barrier between
Tx:21.65  this is so. For reason, kind as is the purpose for which it is the  means, leads steadily away from madness toward the goal of truth. And
Tx:21.66  your reason into line with His. Be willing to let reason be the  means by which He would direct you how to leave insanity behind. Hide
Tx:21.80  to see a world without an enemy in which you are not helpless, the  means to see it will be given you.
Tx:22.20  for you to see no guilt in anyone. And if this vision is the only  means by which escape from guilt can be attained, then the belief in
Tx:22.20  purpose, and by One to Whom nothing He wills can be impossible, the  means for its attainment are more than possible. They must be there,
Tx:22.21  of you and the ego must be made complete. For if you have the  means to let the Holy Spirit's purpose be accomplished, they can be
Tx:22.34  maker's goal but not to see? For this the body's eyes are perfect  means, but not for seeing. See how the body's eyes rest on externals
Tx:22.34  Nothing so blinding as perception of form. For sight of form  means understanding has been obscured.
Tx:22.47 See how the  means and the material of evil dreams are nothing. In truth you stand
Tx:22.51  have. Which do you value? Which is your goal? For one you see as  means; the other, end. And one must serve the other and lead to its
Tx:22.51  its predominance, increasing its importance by diminishing its own.  Means serve the end, and as the end is reached, the value of the
Tx:22.51  Means serve the end, and as the end is reached, the value of the  means decreases, eclipsed entirely when they are recognized as
Tx:22.51  of mind or body, and he will make the other serve his choice as  means to find it.
Tx:22.52 Where freedom of the body has been chosen, the mind is used as  means whose value lies in its ability to contrive ways to achieve the
Tx:22.53 Be not disturbed at all to think how He can change the role of  means and end so easily in what God loves and would have free
Tx:22.53  have free forever. But be you rather grateful that you can be the  means to serve His end. This is the only service which leads to
Tx:22.53  The lack of contradiction makes the soft transition from  means to end as easy as is the shift from hate to gratitude before
Tx:22.54  the sun which lights the sky you see, is chosen of your Father as a  means for His own plan. Be thankful that it serves yours not at all.
Tx:22.55  fill again with the Eternal Light you bring shines now on you. The  means of sinlessness can know no fear because they carry only love
Tx:22.56  you give the Holy Spirit is service to yourself. You who are now His  means must love all that He loves. And what you bring is your
Tx:22.56  can disturb the peace of a relationship which has become the  means of peace.
Tx:22.62  But you will not remember this while you believe attack of any kind  means anything. It is unjustified in any form because it has no
Tx:23.7  a mind at war against itself remembers not eternal gentleness. The  means of war are not the means of peace, and what the warlike would
Tx:23.7  remembers not eternal gentleness. The means of war are not the  means of peace, and what the warlike would remember is not love. War
Tx:23.8  conflict's purpose. And to those who think that it is possible, the  means seem real.
Tx:23.31  There is no point in asking what they mean. That is apparent. The  means of madness must be insane. Are you as certain that you realize
Tx:23.32  benediction, is the goal the laws of chaos serve. These are the  means by which the laws of God appear to be reversed. Here do the
Tx:23.46  for the escape from conflict. To be released from conflict  means that it is over. The door is open; you have left the
Tx:23.49  What is the same can have no different function. Creation is the  means for God's extension, and what is His must be His Son's as well.
Tx:24.6  sinless by comparison with it. And thus does specialness become a  means and end at once. For specialness not only sets apart but serves
Tx:24.35  must shift accordingly. Of itself the body can do nothing. See it as  means to hurt, and it is hurt. See it as means to heal, and it is
Tx:24.35  can do nothing. See it as means to hurt, and it is hurt. See it as  means to heal, and it is healed.
Tx:24.38 Long ago we said consider not the  means by which salvation is attained nor how to reach it. But do
Tx:24.60  of Heaven and the might of truth itself is given to provide the  means and guarantee the goal's accomplishment.
Tx:24.61  lack of conflict comes your peace. And from His purpose comes the  means for effortless accomplishment and rest.
Tx:24.66  is true, its safety rests secure. If not, it has no purpose and is  means for nothing. Whatever is perceived as means for truth shares in
Tx:24.66  it has no purpose and is means for nothing. Whatever is perceived as  means for truth shares in its holiness and rests in light as safely
Tx:24.67  to it according to the purpose which you serve. Here you are but  means, along with it. God is a Means as well as End. In Heaven, means
Tx:24.67  which you serve. Here you are but means, along with it. God is a  Means as well as End. In Heaven, means and end are one, and one with
Tx:24.67  but means, along with it. God is a Means as well as End. In Heaven,  means and end are one, and one with Him. This is the state of true
Tx:24.67  this describable. Nor is there any way to learn what this condition  means. Not till you go past learning to the Given; not till you make
Tx:24.68  time nor held to limits or uncertainties of any kind. Here do the  means and end unite as one, nor does this one have any end at all.
Tx:24.69  that what is yours will come to you when you are ready. Here are the  means and purpose separate because they were so made and so
Tx:24.69  its purpose has been understood. Perception does not seem to be a  means. And it is this that makes it hard to grasp the whole extent to
Tx:24.70  it move. Here is an image that you want to be yourself. It is the  means to make your wish come true. It gives the eyes with which you
Tx:24.71  son, in whom I am well pleased.” Thus does the “son” become the  means to serve his “father's” purpose. Not identical, not even like,
Tx:24.71  his “father's” purpose. Not identical, not even like, but still a  means to offer to the “father” what he wants. Such is the travesty on
Tx:25.4  in the doing of it will you learn the body merely seems to be the  means to do it. For the mind is His. And so it must be yours. His
Tx:25.6  not. Perception is a part of what it is your purpose to behold, for  means and end are never separate. And thus you learn what seems to
Tx:25.7 You are the  means for God—not separate nor with a life apart from His. His Life
Tx:25.15  what is there. Take not the form for content, for the form is but a  means for content. And the frame is but a means to hold the picture
Tx:25.15  for the form is but a means for content. And the frame is but a  means to hold the picture up so that it can be seen. A frame that
Tx:25.25  To each it has a different purpose, and to each it is a perfect  means to serve the goal for which it is perceived. For specialness it
Tx:25.28  him, then will he see each situation that he thought before was  means to justify his anger turned to an event which justifies his
Tx:25.31  future? For you make it now, the instant when all time becomes a  means to reach a goal. Make then your choice. But recognize that in
Tx:25.32  Yet it is the way in which the aim is seen that makes the choice of  means inevitable and beyond the hope of change unless the aim is
Tx:25.32  beyond the hope of change unless the aim is changed. And then the  means are chosen once again, as what will bring rejoicing is defined
Tx:25.33  makes it what it is in its effects on you. Because you chose it as a  means to gain these same effects, believing them to be the bringers
Tx:25.41  will you gain your own. To let his function be fulfilled is but the  means to let yours be. And so you walk toward Heaven or toward hell,
Tx:25.47  one. Forgiveness is the only function meaningful in time. It is the  means the Holy Spirit uses to translate specialness from sin into
Tx:25.48  in form to let it serve his brother and himself and thus become a  means to save instead of lose. Salvation is no more than a reminder
Tx:25.48  takes his part in its undoing, as he did in making it. He has the  means for either, as he always did. The specialness he chose to hurt
Tx:25.48  The specialness he chose to hurt himself did God appoint to be the  means for his salvation from the very instant that the choice was
Tx:25.65  Yet how could justice be defined without insanity where love  means hate and death is seen as victory and triumph over eternity and
Tx:25.78  you see all that the answer must entail. For if you answer “yes,” it  means you will forgo all values of this world in favor of the peace
Tx:25.82  recur because it has not yet been solved. The principle that justice  means no one can lose is crucial to this course. For miracles depend
Tx:25.84  and peace. To give a problem to the Holy Spirit to solve for you  means that you want it solved. To keep it for yourself to solve
Tx:26.14  you find him guilty and would have him die. God offers you the  means to see his innocence. Would it be fair to punish him because
Tx:26.25  that he has much to be forgiven. Forgiveness thus becomes the  means by which he learns he has done nothing to forgive. Forgiveness
Tx:26.66 Abide in peace, where God would have you be, and be the  means whereby your brother finds the peace in which your wishes are
Tx:26.86  mean if you perceive attack in certain forms to be unfair to you? It  means that there must be some forms in which you think it fair. For
Tx:27.17 Your body can be  means to teach that it has never suffered pain because of him. And in
Tx:27.28  it has been shared. In His acceptance of this function lies the  means whereby your mind is unified. His single purpose unifies the
Tx:27.31 The picture of your brother that you see  means nothing. There is nothing to attack or to deny, love, or hate,
Tx:27.33  Yet it sets no limits you have chosen to impose. Forgiveness is the  means by which the truth is represented temporarily. It lets the Holy
Tx:27.54  upon itself. Its purpose is the same as pleasure, for they both are  means to make the body real. What shares a common purpose is the
Tx:27.54  unreal, because their purpose cannot be achieved. Thus are they  means for nothing, for they have a goal without a meaning. And they
Tx:27.65  of the world he sees. And looked at thus, the world provides the  means by which this purpose seems to be fulfilled.
Tx:27.66 The  means attest the purpose but are not themselves a cause. Nor will the
Tx:27.73  his friend.] God willed he waken gently and with joy. And gave him  means to waken without fear. Accept the dream He gave instead of
Tx:27.82  is a joke to think that time can come to circumvent eternity, which  means there is no time.
Tx:28.2  you made, it can be used to serve another purpose and to be the  means for something else. It can be used to heal and not to hurt if
Tx:28.5  of memory is quite apart from time. He does not seek to use it as a  means to keep the past, but rather as a way to let it go. Memory
Tx:28.37 Accepting the Atonement for yourself  means not to give support to someone's dream of sickness and of
Tx:28.37  not to give support to someone's dream of sickness and of death. It  means that you share not his wish to separate and let him turn
Tx:28.64  but be sick. This seems to prove that you must be apart. Yet all it  means is that you tried to keep a promise to be true to
Tx:29.2  must he be afraid of God. Certain it is he knows not what love  means. He fears to love and loves to hate, and so he thinks that love
Tx:29.6  into fear. It will be sick because you do not know what loving  means. And so you must misuse each circumstance and everyone you meet
Tx:29.15  constant change. Yet what is that except the state confusion really  means? Stability to those who are confused is meaningless, and shift
Tx:29.16  or with health, and with events that seem to alter it. Yet this but  means the mind remains unchanged in its belief of what the purpose of
Tx:29.22  The darkness cannot choose that it remain. The coming of the light  means it is gone. In glory will you see your brother then and
Tx:29.23  which you did not create, but which you can extend. On earth this  means forgive your brother, that the darkness may be lifted from your
Tx:29.25  Their equal lack of truth becomes the basis for the miracle, which  means that you have understood that dreams are dreams and that escape
Tx:29.30  dream as He perceives its function, Who can utilize all dreams as  means to serve the function given Him. Because He loves the dreamer
Tx:29.37  is so and seek not the eternal in this world. Forgiving dreams are  means to step aside from dreaming of a world outside yourself. And
Tx:29.50  protect against the light of truth. And all the world becomes the  means by which this idol can be saved. Salvation thus appears to
Tx:29.59  else. Be not deceived by forms the “something” takes. An idol is a  means for getting more. And it is this that is against God's Will.
Tx:30.5 This  means that you are choosing not to be the judge of what to do. But it
Tx:30.10  unwilling to sit by and ask to have the answer given you. This  means you have decided by yourself and cannot see the question. Now

W1:21.3  anger in you, and nothing that you believe in this connection  means anything. You will probably be tempted to dwell more on some
W1:23.4  the world, but you can escape from its cause. This is what salvation  means, for where is the world you see when its cause is gone? Vision
W1:25.1 Purpose is meaning. Today's idea explains why nothing you see  means anything. You do not know what it is for. Therefore it is
W1:25.1  That is what it is for; that is its purpose; that is what it  means. It is in recognizing this that your goals become unified. It

W1:42.2 God is indeed your strength. And what He gives is truly given. This  means that you can receive it any time and anywhere, wherever you are
W1:43.2  Made by the Son of God for an unholy purpose, it must become the  means for the restoration of his holiness to his awareness.
W1:43.2  give it a meaning very close to God's. Healed perception becomes the  means by which the Son of God forgives his brother and thus forgives
W1:46.2  this reason, forgiveness can truly be called salvation. It is the  means by which illusions disappear.
W1:51.2 [1] Nothing I see  means anything. The reason this is so is that I see nothing, and
W1:60.2  their innocence see nothing to forgive. Yet forgiveness is the  means by which I will recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of
W1:63.1  to every mind! How blessed are you who can learn to recognize the  means for letting this be done through you! What purpose could you
W1:63.4  world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. I am the  means God has appointed for the salvation of the world.
W1:64.4  be happy. That is because your function is to be happy by using the  means by which happiness becomes inevitable.
W1:65.2  in which you try to understand and accept what today's idea really  means. It offers you escape from all your perceived difficulties. It
W1:66.3  become hopelessly involved in defining happiness and determining the  means for achieving it. We will not indulge the ego by listening to
W1:70.2 The seeming “cost” of accepting today's idea is this: it  means that nothing outside yourself can save you; nothing outside
W1:70.2  save you; nothing outside yourself can give you peace. But it also  means that nothing outside yourself can hurt you or disturb your
W1:70.13  into the light of real salvation. Try to pass the clouds by whatever  means appeals to you. If it helps you, think of me holding your hand
W1:72.2  made to imprison it. The limit on communication cannot be the best  means to expand communication. Yet the ego would have you believe
W1:77.5  the world and for your own. You have requested that you be given the  means by which this is accomplished. You cannot fail to be assured in
W1:79.6  problems which confront you, you would understand that you have the  means to solve them all. And you would use the means because you
W1:79.6  that you have the means to solve them all. And you would use the  means because you recognize the problem.
W1:80.8  Let us be determined to be free of problems that do not exist. The  means is simple honesty. Do not deceive yourself about what the
W1:81.7 Let this help me learn what forgiveness  means. Let me not separate my function from my will. I would not use
W1:82.2  peace to every mind through my forgiveness. My forgiveness is the  means by which the light of the world finds expression through me. My
W1:82.2  of the world finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the  means by which I become aware of the light of the world in me. My
W1:82.2  become aware of the light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the  means by which the world is healed, together with myself. Let me,
W1:83.2  gave me. This recognition releases me from all conflict because it  means I cannot have conflicting goals. With one purpose only, I am
W1:85.2  I must lay grievances aside. I want to see, and this will be the  means by which I will succeed.
W1:92.1  in terms of weakness. That is because your idea of what seeing  means is tied up with the body and its eyes and brain. This is why
W1:93.5  self does not exist at all. And anything it seems to do and think  means nothing. It is neither bad nor good. It is unreal and nothing
W1:96.2  truth and illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you try, what  means you use, and where you see the problem, must be accepted if you
W1:96.5 Spirit makes use of mind as  means to find its Self-expression. And the mind which serves the
W1:99.2  the truth and illusion. It reflects the truth because it is the  means by which you can escape illusions. Yet it is not truth because
W1:99.4  truth inviolate, yet recognize the need illusions bring and offer  means by which they are undone without attack and with no touch of
W1:100.3  While you are sad, the light which God Himself appointed as the  means to save the world is dim and lusterless. And no one laughs,
W1:100.8  who wants to take his place among God's messengers. Think what this  means. You have indeed been wrong in your belief that sacrifice is
W1:101.1  of happiness. This is a key idea in understanding what salvation  means. You still believe it asks for suffering as penance for your
W1:105.3 This strange distortion of what giving  means pervades all levels of the world you see. It strips all meaning
W1:105.3  giving has become a source of fear, and so you would avoid the only  means by which you can receive.
W1:106.12  receiving it to give away, so you can teach the world what giving  means by listening and learning it of Him. Do not forget today to
W1:110.2  the present be accepted as it is. It is enough to let time be the  means for all the world to learn escape from time and every change

W1:122.8  look upon a happy world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the  means by which it comes to take the place of hell. In quietness it
W1:125.2 This world will change through you. No other  means can save it, for God's plan is simply this: the Son of God is
W1:126.1  certainty of goal, and sure direction. You would understand the  means by which salvation comes to you and would not hesitate to use
W1:126.6  your mind. It cannot give you peace as you perceive it. It is not a  means for your release from what you see in someone other than
W1:126.7  Salvation is a better gift than this, and true forgiveness, as the  means by which it is attained, must heal the mind that gives, for
W1:126.9  that will release your mind from every bar to what forgiveness  means and let you realize its worth to you.

W1:137.9  the world of sorrow for a world where sadness cannot enter, are the  means by which the Holy Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle

W1:168.2  acknowledgment. And memory of Him awakens in the mind which asks the  means of Him whereby its sleep is done.

W1:R5.15  We place faith in the experience that comes from practice, not the  means we use. We wait for the experience and recognize that it is
W1:184.2 This space you see as setting off all things from one another is the  means by which the world's perception is achieved. You see something

W2:WIS.1 Sin is insanity. It is the  means by which the mind is driven mad and seeks to let illusions take

Tx:6.60  difference. The Holy Spirit makes no distinction among dreams. He  merely shines them away. His light is always the call to awake,
Tx:7.26  because that is where He placed it. It does not wait in time. It  merely rests in the Kingdom, because it belongs there, as you do. How

Tx:8.88  is not of the body, but of the mind. All forms of dysfunction are  merely signs that the mind has split and does not accept a unified
Tx:8.92  who does know what your reality is. The purpose of this Guide is  merely to remind you of what you want. He is not attempting to force

Tx:8.100  is a desire for nothing and to ask for it is not a request. It is  merely a denial in the form of a request. The Holy Spirit is not
Tx:9.4  at all to errors, you are not listening to the Holy Spirit. He has  merely disregarded them, and if you attend to them, you are not
Tx:9.4  errors you perceive. This cannot be correction. Yet it is more than  merely lack of correction for him. It is the giving up of correction
Tx:9.6  for you to see yourself truly. It is not up to you to change him but  merely to accept him as he is. His errors do not come from the truth
Tx:9.10  know how to overlook errors, or you would not make them. It would  merely be further error to think either that you do not make them or
Tx:9.11  given you because you have forgotten how to do it. The Holy Spirit  merely reminds you of what is your natural ability. By reinterpreting
Tx:9.12  course, makes no sense and will not work. By following it, you will  merely place yourself in an impossible situation to which the ego
Tx:9.15 Miracles are  merely the sign of your willingness to follow the Holy Spirit's plan
Tx:9.17  was made for you as the First was created. The Second Coming is  merely the return of sense. Can this possibly be fearful?

Tx:9.44  Holy Spirit judges against the reality of the ego's thought system  merely because He knows its foundation is not true. Therefore,
Tx:9.57  of it, and while you leave your part of it empty, your eternal place  merely waits for your return. God, through His Voice, reminds you of
Tx:9.58  Nothing can attack it or prevail over it. It does not vary. It  merely is. Ask the Holy Spirit what it is and He will tell you, but
Tx:9.65  to were violated while you slept. Is it not possible that you  merely shifted from one dream to another, without really wakening?
Tx:9.66  You do not remember being awake. When you hear the Holy Spirit, you  merely feel better because loving seems possible to you, but you do
Tx:9.69 Yet to give up the dissociation of reality brings more than  merely lack of fear. In this decision lie joy and peace and the glory
Tx:9.70 To remember is  merely to restore to your mind what is already there. You do not make
Tx:9.70  mind what is already there. You do not make what you remember; you  merely accept again what has been made but was rejected. The ability
Tx:9.80  Son of God has the power to deny illusions anywhere in the Kingdom  merely by denying them completely in himself. I can heal you because
Tx:9.80  idolatrous and does not know of conflicting laws. I will heal you  merely because I have only one message, and it is true. Your faith in
Tx:9.86  is the right use of selective perception. To overlook nothingness is  merely to judge it correctly, and because of your ability to evaluate
Tx:9.87  and the mind does become unreasonable without reason. This is  merely a matter of definition. By defining the mind wrongly, you
Tx:9.88  good, and there are no other laws beside His. Everything else is  merely lawless and therefore chaotic. Yet God Himself has protected
Tx:9.101  Creator. This is not because you will be punished otherwise. It is  merely because your acknowledgment of your Father is the
Tx:10.12  it is. The reason you must ask what God's Will is in everything is  merely because it is yours. You do not know what it is, but the Holy
Tx:10.21  Your willingness need not be perfect, because His is. If you will  merely offer Him a little place, He will lighten it so much that you
Tx:10.22  and of your guests, only He is real. Know, then, who abides with you  merely by recognizing what is there already and do not be satisfied
Tx:10.39  it, you must be ready. Let us be very calm in doing this, for we are  merely looking honestly for truth. The “dynamics” of the ego will be
Tx:10.40  We have accepted the fact already that its effects can be dispelled  merely by denying their reality. The next step is obviously to
Tx:10.44  outcome of its central belief, and the way to undo its results is  merely to recognize that their source is not natural, being out of
Tx:10.69  true, for the eternal are not re-created. To perceive anew is  merely to perceive again, implying that before, or in the interval,
Tx:10.88  of your brothers and of your Father and of yourselves. But you are  merely deceived in them.
Tx:11.14 Miracles are  merely the translation of denial into truth. If to love oneself is to
Tx:11.24  you could teach the poor where their treasure is. The poor are  merely those who have invested wrongly, and they are poor indeed!
Tx:11.30  not the reality. Everything you perceive as the outside world is  merely your attempt to maintain your ego identification, for everyone
Tx:11.51  although the curriculum you set yourself is depressing indeed, it is  merely ridiculous if you look at it. Is it possible that the way to
Tx:11.51  own teachers. This resignation will not lead to depression. It is  merely the result of an honest appraisal of what you have taught
Tx:11.56  mission, for He knows that they have not lost their vision but  merely sleep. He would awaken them from the sleep of forgetting to
Tx:11.59  perception has become so holy that its transfer to holiness is  merely its natural extension. Love transfers to love without any
Tx:11.69  else. The contradictory nature of the witnesses you perceive is  merely the reflection of your conflicting invitations. You have

Tx:12.27 Now has no meaning to the ego. The present  merely reminds it of past hurts, and it reacts to the present as if
Tx:12.29 Would you recognize a holy encounter if you are  merely perceiving it as a meeting with your own past? For you are
Tx:12.69  advice unto yourself will hurt you. For what you think you need will  merely serve to tighten up your world against the light and render
Tx:13.3  interrupted it. Creation cannot be interrupted. The separation is  merely a faulty formulation of reality with no effect at all. The
Tx:13.37  judged, for it has been established. It is wholly of value. It can  merely be appreciated or not. To value it partially is not to know
Tx:13.38  for nothing in this world is wholly shared. Perfect perception can  merely show you what is capable of being wholly shared. It can also
Tx:13.53  twisted and so complex that you cannot see that it means nothing. He  merely looks at its foundation and dismisses it. But you, who cannot
Tx:13.53  chose to deceive yourselves. Those who choose to be deceived will  merely attack direct approaches, which would seem but to encroach
Tx:13.65 You are accustomed to using guiltlessness  merely to offset the pain of guilt and do not look upon it as having
Tx:13.71 The way to teach this simple lesson is  merely this: guiltlessness is invulnerability. Therefore, make your
Tx:13.87  created by Him like unto Himself and part of Him, are more than  merely guiltless. The state of guiltlessness is only the condition in
Tx:14.3  or what your Father is. The Holy Spirit, Who remembers this for you,  merely teaches you how to remove the blocks that stand between you
Tx:14.17 The quiet light in which the Holy Spirit dwells within you is  merely perfect openness in which nothing is hidden and therefore
Tx:14.26  is impossible. It is therefore not a point of view at all but  merely a belief in something that does not exist. It is only this
Tx:14.28  them against it. His perception of them, according to His purpose,  merely changes them into a call for what you have attacked with them.
Tx:14.29  Who knows. You are not asked to do mighty tasks yourself. You are  merely asked to do the little He suggests you do, trusting Him only
Tx:14.38 The Atonement does not make holy. You were created holy. It  merely brings unholiness to holiness, or what you made to what you
Tx:14.39  is clearly revealed? What disappears in light is not attacked. It  merely vanishes because it is not true. Different realities are
Tx:14.40  Merely by being what it is does truth release you from everything
Tx:14.45  creations, as part of Him, hold Him in them in truth. They do not  merely reflect truth, for they are truth.
Tx:14.51  same response to every call for help. It does not judge the call. It  merely recognizes what it is and answers accordingly. It does not
Tx:14.52  to content. What you consider content is not content at all. It is  merely form, and nothing else. For you do not respond to what a
Tx:15.1  what it means to have no cares, no worries, no anxieties, but  merely to be perfectly calm and quiet all the time? Yet that is what
Tx:15.4  teaching is without the fear of death. Yet if death were thought of  merely as an end to pain, would it be feared? We have seen this
Tx:15.11  yet holiness does not change. Learn from this instant more than  merely hell does not exist. In this redeeming instant lies Heaven.
Tx:15.40  are in communication. It therefore seeks to change nothing, but  merely to accept everything.
Tx:15.71  what he thinks he wants. He is not in love with the other at all. He  merely believes he is in love with sacrifice. And for this sacrifice,
Tx:16.2  what empathizing means. Yet of this you may be sure—if you will  merely sit quietly by and let the Holy Spirit relate through you, you
Tx:16.30  hate. The special love relationship will not offset it but will  merely drive it underground and out of sight. It is essential to
Tx:16.35 Your task is not to seek for love but  merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself which you
Tx:16.44  love and hate together, and even those who believe that hate is sin  merely feel guilty and do not correct it.
Tx:16.48  And the attempt to find the imagined “best” of both worlds has  merely led to fantasies of both and to the inability to perceive
Tx:16.54  you would have made yourself helpless. God is not angry. He  merely could not let this happen. You cannot change His Mind.
Tx:17.14 To forgive is  merely to remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the past and
Tx:17.57  In fact in order to be simple, it must be unequivocal. The simple is  merely what is easily understood, and for this it is apparent that it
Tx:18.27  that your understanding is not necessary. All that was necessary was  merely the wish to understand. That wish was the desire to be holy.
Tx:18.36 You  merely ask the question. The answer is given. Seek not to answer it,
Tx:18.36  ask the question. The answer is given. Seek not to answer it, but  merely receive the answer as it is given. In preparing for the holy
Tx:18.38 And that is all. Add more and you will  merely take away the little that is asked. Remember you made guilt
Tx:18.44  have accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose as your own, and you would  merely bring unholy means to its accomplishment. The little faith it
Tx:18.49  not apart from Him. Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is  merely an awareness of perfect Oneness and the knowledge that there
Tx:18.59  have escaped from fear to peace, asking no questions of reality but  merely accepting it. You have accepted this instead of the body and
Tx:18.61  not attacked, but simply properly perceived. It does not limit you  merely because you would not have it so. You are not really “lifted
Tx:18.62  in peace. Not through destruction, not through a “breaking out,” but  merely by a quiet “melting in.” For peace will join you there simply
Tx:18.67  to remember you need do nothing. It would be far more profitable now  merely to concentrate on this than to consider what you should do.
Tx:18.71  and it was made to limit the unlimited. Think not that this is  merely allegorical, for it was made to limit you. Can you who see
Tx:18.74  is even aware of all this strange and meaningless activity. They  merely continue, unaware that they are feared and hated by a tiny
Tx:18.94  Source of light—nothing perceived, forgiven, nor transformed, but  merely known.
Tx:19.27  status from a sin to a mistake. Now you will not repeat it; you will  merely stop and let it go unless the guilt remains. For then you will
Tx:19.47  to everything. The variability which the little remnant induces  merely indicates its limited results.

Tx:20.18  them, not deciding first where they would have it be. Their looking  merely asked a question, and it was what they saw that answered them.
Tx:20.28  of them. Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit  merely gives everything to God, Who has already given and received
Tx:20.40  in him will shine so brightly in your grateful vision that you will  merely love him and be glad. You will not think to judge him, for who
Tx:20.43  other? This gift returns the laws of God to your remembrance. And  merely by remembering them, the laws that held you prisoner to pain
Tx:20.48  them solely for the offerings on which its idols thrive. The rest it  merely throws away, for all that it could offer is seen as valueless.
Tx:20.58  inconsistencies or parts you find more difficult than others are  merely indications of areas where means and end are still discrepant.
Tx:20.60  the means are difficult. Yet how can they be difficult if they are  merely given you? They guarantee the goal, and they are perfectly in
Tx:20.61  not perfectly consistent with the goal of holiness? For holiness is  merely the result of letting the effects of sin be lifted so what was
Tx:20.61  body is impossible, for holiness is positive, and the body is  merely neutral. It is not sinful, but neither is it sinless. As
Tx:20.75  and which you choose determines what you see. For what you see is  merely how you elect to meet your goal. Hallucinations serve to meet
Tx:20.76  reflect the sight you saw within; or better, if you saw at all or  merely judged against. Vision is the means by which the Holy Spirit
Tx:21.17 It is impossible the Son of God be  merely driven by events outside of him. It is impossible that the
Tx:21.25  Nothing can have effects without a cause and to confuse the two is  merely to fail to understand them both.
Tx:21.41  is there but witnesses to your desire that it be there to see. This  merely seems to be the source of fear.
Tx:22.45  Surely not by force or anger nor by opposing them in any way.  Merely by letting reason tell you that they contradict reality. They
Tx:22.45  comes from them and not reality. Reality opposes nothing. What  merely is needs no defense and offers none. Only illusions need
Tx:22.55  reason, joined with love, looks quietly on all confusion, observing  merely, “This was a mistake.” And then the same Atonement you
Tx:23.19  world you made. And yet they govern nothing and need not be broken;  merely looked upon and gone beyond.
Tx:23.21  are untrue. When brought to truth instead of to each other, they  merely disappear. No part of nothing can be more resistant to the
Tx:24.36  Nothing could make more sense to miracles. For miracles are  merely change of purpose from hurt to healing.
Tx:24.60 Now you are  merely asked that you pursue another goal with far less vigilance—
Tx:25.4  it is He Who does it. And in the doing of it will you learn the body  merely seems to be the means to do it. For the mind is His. And so it
Tx:25.7  each body that it looks upon and brushes all its darkness into light  merely by looking past it to the light. The veil is lifted through
Tx:25.37 The state of sinlessness is  merely this: the whole desire to attack is gone, and so there is no
Tx:26.5 Those who would see the witnesses to truth instead of to illusion  merely ask that they might see a purpose in the world that gives it
Tx:26.17  barrier that seems to hold the door securely barred and locked will  merely fall away and disappear. For it is not your Father's Will that
Tx:26.61  not kept separate. The healing of effect without the cause can  merely shift effects to other forms. And this is not release. God's
Tx:26.76  effects of present cause must be delayed until a future time is  merely a denial of the fact that consequence and cause must come as
Tx:27.12 The simple way to let this be achieved is  merely this—to let the body have no purpose from the past, when you
Tx:27.16  overlooked entirely. In their undoing lies the proof that they were  merely errors. Let yourself be healed that you may be forgiving,
Tx:27.34  And what will ultimately take the place of every learning aid will  merely be. Forgiveness vanishes and symbols fade, and nothing which

Tx:27.43  can be answered—what the question is. Within the world the answers  merely raise another question, though they leave the first
Tx:27.52  guarantee that they remain unviolated and unlimited. Your part is  merely to apply what He has taught you to yourself, and He will do
Tx:27.53  far less than all there really are. Infinity cannot be understood by  merely counting up its separate parts. God thanks you for your
Tx:27.58  no distinctions in the names by which sin's witnesses are called. It  merely proves that what they represent has no effects. And this it
Tx:27.81  no dream appear to be the cause of what it is you do? Then let us  merely look upon the dream's beginning, for the part you see is but

W1:2.1  to include everything in an area or you will introduce strain.  Merely glance easily and fairly quickly around you, trying to avoid
W1:2.2  or an apple. The sole criterion for applying the idea to anything is  merely that your eyes have lighted on it. Make no attempt to include
W1:3.1  meaning for you. Try to lay such feelings aside, and  merely use these things exactly as you would anything else.
W1:7.9 Do you see a cup, or are you  merely reviewing your past experiences of picking up a cup, being

W1:8.4  investment as possible, search your mind for the usual minute or so,  merely noting the thoughts you find there. Name each one by the
W1:10.3  of these “thoughts” means that you are not thinking. This is  merely another way of repeating our earlier statement that your mind

W1:15.3  are opening your eyes at last. They will not persist, because they  merely symbolize true perception, and they are not related to
W1:16.1  fact. Thoughts are not big or little, powerful or weak. They are  merely true or false. Those which are true create their own likeness.
W1:21.3  grounds that they are more “obvious.” This is not so. It is  merely an example of the belief that some forms of attack are more
W1:23.2  trying to change the world. It is incapable of change because it is  merely an effect. But there is indeed a point in changing your
W1:31.3 As you survey your inner world,  merely let whatever thoughts cross your mind come into your
W1:33.2  and inner perceptions, but without an abrupt sense of shifting.  Merely glance casually around the world you perceive as outside
W1:35.5  does not matter. Illusions have no direction in reality. They are  merely not true.
W1:35.10  Do not strain to think up specific things to fill the interval, but  merely relax and repeat today's idea slowly until something occurs to

W1:42.7  Let them come without censoring unless you realize your mind is  merely wandering and you have let obviously irrelevant thoughts
W1:42.8  for relevant thoughts is not appropriate for today's exercises. Try  merely to step back and let the thoughts come. If you find this
W1:43.17 If no particular subject presents itself to your awareness,  merely repeat the idea in its original form.
W1:44.4  A longer time is highly recommended, but only if you find the time  merely slipping by with little or no sense of strain. The form of
W1:44.7  mind cannot be stopped in this unless you choose to stop it. It is  merely taking its natural course. Try to observe your passing
W1:48.2  practice periods will be very short, very simple, and very frequent.  Merely repeat the idea as often as possible. You can use it with your
W1:R1.3  idea literally or thoroughly in the practice periods. Rather, try  merely to emphasize the central point and think about it as part of
W1:51.3  And it is this and only this that I see. This is not vision. It is  merely an illusion of reality, because my judgments have been made
W1:51.4  and understood and loved. I can exchange what I see now for this  merely by being willing to do so. Is not this a better choice than
W1:55.5  I do not know who I am? What I think are my best interests would  merely bind me closer to the world of illusions. I am willing to

W1:61.1 Who is the light of the world except God's Son? This, then, is  merely a statement of the truth about yourself. It is the opposite of
W1:64.1 Today's idea is  merely another way of saying, “Let me not wander into temptation.”
W1:66.3  not indulge the ego by listening to its attacks on truth. We will  merely be glad that we can find out what truth is.
W1:75.7  you never saw it before. You do not know yet what it looks like. You  merely wait to have it shown to you. While you wait, repeat several

W1:R2.5  specific forms will be included in the comments. These, however, are  merely suggestions. It is not the particular words you use that
W1:88.2 [75] The light has come. In choosing salvation rather than attack, I  merely choose to recognize what is already here. Salvation is a

W1:95.10  you fail to comply with the requirements of this course, you have  merely made a mistake. This calls for correction and for nothing else.
W1:107.1  for what they are? Where truth has entered, errors disappear. They  merely vanish, leaving not a trace by which to be remembered. They
W1:107.5  doubts that the appearances the world presents engender. They will  merely blow away when truth corrects the errors in your mind.
W1:107.8  truth correct them all. We do not ask for what we do not have. We  merely ask for what belongs to us, that we may recognize it as our
W1:121.10  regret in you if you should meet him; one you actively despise or  merely try to overlook. It does not matter what the form your anger
W1:126.3  there is no gain to you directly. You give charity to one unworthy  merely to point out that you are better, on a higher plane than he

W1:134.5 Pardon is no escape in such a view. It  merely is a further sign that sin is unforgivable, at best to be
W1:134.7  of sinners mad with guilt. It looks on them with quiet eyes and  merely says to them, “My brother, what you think is not the truth.”

W1:135.11  it protection of a kind from which it gains no benefit at all but  merely adds to your distress of mind. You do not heal but merely take

W1:139.4  all unless he knew the answer. If he asks as if he did not know, it  merely shows he does not want to be the thing he is. He has accepted
W1:139.9  not what he is. Today accept Atonement, not to change reality, but  merely to accept the truth about yourself and go your way rejoicing
W1:140.2 He is not healed. He  merely had a dream that he was sick, and in the dream he found a
W1:140.3  brings are different from the dreaming of the world, where one can  merely dream he is awake. The dreams forgiveness lets the mind

W1:140.6  gravity, or anything that is related to the form it takes. It  merely focuses on what it is and knows that no illusion can be real.
W1:R4.10 After your preparation,  merely read each of the two ideas assigned to you to be reviewed that

W1:152.7  of Him. And can you see what God created not? To think you can is  merely to believe you can perceive what God willed not to be. And
W1:153.1  and its bitter jests, its brief relationships and all the “gifts” it  merely lends to take away again, attend this lesson well. The world
W1:158.6  here the journey ends. Experience, unlearned, untaught, unseen, is  merely there. This is beyond our goal, for it transcends what needs
W1:158.8  can compare with this in value; nor set up a goal which does not  merely disappear when this has been perceived. And this you give
W1:158.9  them all. In His forgiveness, they are gone. Unseen by One, they  merely disappear because a vision of the holiness which lies beyond
W1:159.5  one made holy by forgiveness. Things which seem quite solid here are  merely shadows there, transparent, faintly seen, at times forgot, and

W1:164.8  vision, now our own. Open the curtain in your practicing by  merely letting go all things you think you want. Your trifling
W1:166.10 God's Will does not oppose. It  merely is. It is not God you have imprisoned in your plan to lose
W1:167.9 What seems to be the opposite of life is  merely sleeping. When the mind elects to be what it is not and to
W1:167.9  it cannot enter, or a false condition not within its Source, it  merely seems to go to sleep a while. It dreams of time—an interval
W1:169.5  It has united with its Source, and like its Source Itself, it  merely is.
W1:169.6  time, forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ. The Son of God has  merely disappeared into His Father, as his Father has in him. The
W1:169.8  state, forever as it always was; forever to remain as it is now. We  merely take the part assigned long since and fully recognized as
W1:170.6  attributes of fear. For love would ask you lay down all defense as  merely foolish. And your arms indeed would crumble into dust. For
W1:182.4  body and its place of shelter are a memory now so distorted that you  merely hold a picture of a past that never happened. Yet there is a
W1:185.3 —the outcome wanted not the same for both. Loser and gainer  merely shift about in changing patterns, as the ratio of gain to loss
W1:185.4  is the goal of dreaming. Minds cannot unite in dreams. They  merely bargain. And what bargain can give them the peace of God?
W1:185.11 No one who truly seeks the peace of God can fail to find it. For he  merely asks that he deceive himself no longer by denying to himself

W1:190.6 —the world you see does nothing. It has no effects at all. It  merely represents your thoughts. And it will change entirely as you

W1:196.5  nailed you to the cross. Perhaps it seemed to be salvation. Yet it  merely stood for the belief the fear of God is real. And what is that
W1:R6.6  pace along a shorter path to the serenity and peace of God. We  merely close our eyes and then forget all that we thought we knew and
W2:I.1  seek direct experience of truth alone. The lessons which remain are  merely introductions to the times in which we leave the world of pain
W2:I.2 Now we attempt to let the exercise be  merely a beginning. For we wait in quiet expectation for our God and
W2:WF.1  What is sin except a false idea about God's Son? Forgiveness  merely sees its falsity and therefore lets it go. What then is free
W2:WF.4  of reality nor seeks to twist it to appearance that it likes. It  merely looks and waits and judges not. He who would not forgive must

W2:233.1  time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I will step back and  merely follow You. Be You the Guide and I the follower who questions

W2:282.2  and so is mine. Such is the truth. And can the truth be changed by  merely giving it another name? The name of fear is simply a mistake.
W2:WISC.1 Christ's Second Coming, which is sure as God, is  merely the correction of mistakes and the return of sanity. It is a
W2:WILJ.2  Without a cause and now without a function in Christ's sight, it  merely slips away to nothingness. There it was born, and there it

M:4.10  It is here that learning is consolidated. Now what was seen as  merely shadows before becomes solid gains, to be counted on in all

Tx:6.41  made what you are something you must learn. We said before that the  message of the crucifixion was, “Teach only love, for that is what
Tx:7.16  always that these differences do not matter. The meaning of His  message is always the same, and only the meaning matters. God's law
Tx:8.79  to use your body only to reach your brothers, so He can teach His  message through you. This will heal them and therefore heal you.
Tx:8.95  simply because confused communication does not mean anything. A  message cannot be said to be communicated unless it makes sense. How
Tx:8.111 The  message your brother gives you is up to you. What does he say to you?
Tx:8.111  What would you have him say? Your decision about him determines the  message you receive. Remember that the Holy Spirit is in him, and His
Tx:9.80  of conflicting laws. I will heal you merely because I have only one  message, and it is true. Your faith in it will make you whole when
Tx:9.81 I do not bring God's  message with deception, and you will learn this as you learn that you
Tx:9.94  and not yourself, have done this to you. You will receive the  message you give, because it is the message you want. You may believe
Tx:9.94  to you. You will receive the message you give, because it is the  message you want. You may believe that you judge your brothers by the
Tx:9.94  by the messages they give you, but you have judged them by the  message you give to them. Do not attribute your denial of joy to
Tx:9.99  part of the Sonship because of His love for His Son. If you hear His  message, He has answered you, and you will learn of Him if you hear
Tx:10.19  opens his own ears to the Voice of the Holy Spirit, whose  message is wholeness. He will enable you to go far beyond the healing
Tx:11.69  attest only to your decision about reality, returning to you the  message you gave them. Love is recognized by its messengers. If you
Tx:12.27  you are forbidding yourself to let it go. You thus deny yourself the  message of release that every brother offers you now.
Tx:13.4  given Him to you because He has no Thoughts He does not share. His  message speaks of timelessness in time, and that is why Christ's
Tx:13.53  must begin His teaching by showing you what you can never learn. His  message is not indirect, but He must introduce the simple truth into
Tx:14.5  still with God. Would you have all of it transformed into a radiant  message of God's Love, to share with all the lonely ones who denied
Tx:14.6 Each one of you has a special part to play in the Atonement, but the  message given to each to share is always the same—God's Son is
Tx:14.6  is always the same—God's Son is guiltless. Each one teaches the  message differently and learns it differently. Yet until he teaches
Tx:14.43  needs no interpretation. It is clear. Clean but the mirror, and the  message which shines forth from what the mirror holds out for
Tx:14.43  out for everyone to see no one can fail to understand. It is the  message that the Holy Spirit is holding to the mirror that is in him.
Tx:15.108  more joyous than to perceive we are deprived of nothing? Such is the  message of the time of Christ, which I give you that you may give it
Tx:16.80 Seek and find his  message in the holy instant, where all illusions are forgiven. From
Tx:18.44  but only because they are happy. And so they must be loving. Their  message is, “Thy will be done,” and not, “I want it otherwise.” The
Tx:19.37  the calm awareness of complete protection. And you will carry its  message of love and safety and freedom to everyone who draws nigh
Tx:19.61  the mind to join in holy communion and be at peace. Such is the  message that I gave them for you.
Tx:19.66  peace its home in Heaven. Send forth to all the world the joyous  message of the end of guilt, and all the world will answer. Think of
Tx:19.74  messages are always sent away from you in the belief that for your  message of attack and guilt will someone other than yourself suffer.
Tx:22.42  to rise between you. So shall you walk the world with me, whose  message has not yet been given to everyone. For you are here to let
Tx:22.43  saviors, walking the world with their Redeemer and carrying His  message of hope and freedom and release from suffering to everyone
Tx:24.16  and they fall on different ears. To every special one a different  message, and one with different meaning, is the truth. Yet how can
Tx:25.5  despise the one who tells you this and seek his death instead? The  message and the messenger are one. And you must see your brother as
Tx:25.87  in them. Its offering is universal, and it teaches but one  message:
Tx:27.7  your brother and yourself in different tongues. And yet to both the  message is the same. Adornment of the body seeks to show how lovely
Tx:27.11  Let it have healing as its purpose. Then will it send forth the  message it received and by its health and loveliness proclaim the
Tx:27.11  an endless life, forever unattacked. And to your brother let its  message be, “Behold me, brother; at your hand I live.”
Tx:27.55  again to pain. For either witness is the same and carries but one  message: “You are here within this body, and you can be hurt. You can
Tx:28.5  to keep the past, but rather as a way to let it go. Memory holds the  message it receives and does what it is given it to do. It does not
Tx:28.5  receives and does what it is given it to do. It does not write the  message nor appoint what it is for. Like to the body, it is
Tx:28.5  and hurts which you were saving, this is what you asked its  message be, and this is what it is. Committed to its vaults, the
Tx:29.8  not real. And there are overtones of seeming fear around the happy  message, “God is love.”
Tx:29.47  the signs of death you seek? No sadness and no suffering proclaims a  message other than an idol found that represents a parody of life
W1:R2.3 There is a  message waiting for you. Be confident that you will receive it.
W1:99.16 You have a special  message for today which has the power to remove all forms of doubt
W1:100.7  you look upon, His peace to everyone who looks on you and sees His  message in your happy face. We will prepare ourselves for this today
W1:123.5  not heard. In thanking Him the thanks are yours as well. An unheard  message will not save the world, however mighty be the Voice that
W1:123.5  however mighty be the Voice that speaks, however loving may the  message be. Thanks be to you who heard, for you become the messenger
W1:125.1  around the world; until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the  message which the world must hear to usher in the quiet time of peace.
W1:127.11  to learn what you must learn. And as he comes to mind, give him this  message from your Self:
W1:R4.9  for they will all be shared with Him. And so each one will bring the  message of His Love to you, returning messages of yours to Him. So
W1:154.5 A messenger does not elect to make the  message he delivers. Nor does he question the right of him who does
W1:154.5  of him who does nor ask why he has chosen those who will receive the  message that he brings. It is enough that he accept it, give it to
W1:154.7  that are not given them by His authority. And so they gain by every  message which they give away.
W1:154.15  up our minds and realize these holy words are true. They are the  message sent to us today from our Creator. Now we demonstrate how
W1:193.15  the way to look upon them so that they will disappear. Truth is His  message; truth His teaching is. His are the lessons God would have us
W2:245.2 And so we go in peace. To all the world we give the  message that we have received. And thus we come to hear the Voice of

Tx:5.51 You have become willing to receive my  messages as I give them without interference by the ego, so we can
Tx:6.74  learner not to listen. For a time, then, he is receiving conflicting  messages and accepting both. This is the classic “double bind” in
Tx:8.95  said to be communicated unless it makes sense. How sensible can your  messages be when you ask for what you do not want? Yet as long as you
Tx:9.94  you want. You may believe that you judge your brothers by the  messages they give you, but you have judged them by the message you
Tx:12.27  prevent you from perceiving them as they are. And you will receive  messages from them out of your own past because, by making it real in
Tx:18.86  seen only through the body's eyes. Its vision is distorted, and the  messages it transmits to you who made it to limit your awareness are
Tx:18.86  are meaningless. From the world of bodies, made by insanity, insane  messages seem to be returned to the mind which made it. And these
Tx:18.86  messages seem to be returned to the mind which made it. And these  messages bear witness to this world, pronouncing it as true. For you
Tx:18.87 Everything these  messages relay to you is quite external. There are no messages which
Tx:18.87  these messages relay to you is quite external. There are no  messages which speak of what lies underneath, for it is not the body
Tx:18.87  its senses remain quite unaware of it; its tongue cannot relay its  messages. Yet God can bring you there if you are willing to follow

Tx:19.74 The ego's  messages are always sent away from you in the belief that for your

Tx:19.76  a communication medium, receiving from the Father and offering His  messages unto the Son. Like the ego, the Holy Spirit is both the

Tx:2.75 You do not need guidance except at the  mind level. Correction belongs only at the level where creation is
Tx:2.75  brought the fear about. These conditions always entail a separated  mind willingness. At that level, you can help it. You are much too

Tx:2.81  I will therefore repeat it, urging you to listen. Only your  mind can produce fear. It does so whenever it is conflicted in what
Tx:2.88  why fear occurs. Very few people appreciate the real power of the  mind, and no one remains fully aware of it all the time. However, if
Tx:2.88  fear, there are some things he must realize and realize fully. The  mind is a very powerful creator, and it never loses its creative
Tx:2.94  of miscreation. Otherwise, a miracle will be necessary to set the  mind itself straight, a circular process which would hardly foster
Tx:2.96 You persist in believing that when you do not consciously watch your  mind, it is unmindful. It is time, however, to consider the whole
Tx:2.96  to consider the whole world of the unconscious or “unwatched”  mind. This may well frighten you because it is the source of fear.
Tx:2.96  well frighten you because it is the source of fear. The unwatched  mind is responsible for the whole content of the unconscious which

Tx:3.23  the issue revolves around the question of whether the body or the  mind can see (or understand). This is not really open to question at
Tx:3.23  at all. The body is not capable of understanding, and only the  mind can perceive anything. A pure mind knows the truth, and this is
Tx:3.23  of understanding, and only the mind can perceive anything. A pure  mind knows the truth, and this is its strength. It cannot attack the
Tx:3.23  because it recognizes exactly what the body is. This is what “a sane  mind in a sane body” really means. It does not confuse destruction
Tx:3.24 Innocence is incapable of sacrificing anything, because the innocent  mind has everything and strives only to protect its wholeness. This
Tx:3.24  is perfectly apparent. The innocence of God is the true state of  mind of His Son. In this state, man's mind does see God [and because]

Tx:3.43 Right-mindedness is not to be confused with the knowing  mind, because it is applicable only to right perception. You can be

Tx:3.44  always involves some misuse of will, because it involves the  mind in areas of uncertainty. The mind is very active because it has
Tx:3.44  of will, because it involves the mind in areas of uncertainty. The  mind is very active because it has will-power. When it willed the
Tx:3.44  and the only way out of ambiguity is clear perception. The  mind returns to its proper function only when it wills to know. This
Tx:3.44  perception is meaningless. The superconscious is the level of the  mind which wills this.
Tx:3.45 The  mind chose to divide itself when it willed to create both its own
Tx:3.46  of darkness. This is why it became almost inaccessible to the  mind and entirely inaccessible to the body.

Tx:4.3 The journey to the cross should be the last foolish journey for every  mind. Do not dwell upon it, but dismiss it as accomplished. If you
Tx:4.6  ego has made involves a contradiction in terms. This is because the  mind is split between the ego and the Soul, so that whatever the ego
Tx:4.10  are your greatest strengths now, because you must change your  mind and help others change theirs. It is pointless to refuse to
Tx:4.21  together. I need devoted teachers who share my aim of healing the  mind. The Soul is far beyond the need of your protection or mine.

Tx:4.26  I am using your present state [as an example] of how the  mind can work, provided you fully recognize that it need not work
Tx:4.33  because this premise is its foundation. The ego is the belief of the  mind that it is completely on its own. Its ceaseless attempts to gain
Tx:4.36  cannot survive without judgment and is laid aside accordingly. The  mind then has only one direction in which it can move. The direction
Tx:4.36  has only one direction in which it can move. The direction which the  mind will take is always automatic, because it cannot but be dictated

Tx:4.55 The calm being of God's Kingdom, which in your sane  mind is perfectly conscious, is ruthlessly banished from the part of
Tx:4.55  is perfectly conscious, is ruthlessly banished from the part of the  mind which the ego rules. The ego is desperate because it opposes
Tx:4.55  how little you have been willing to expend to protect your higher  mind. Who but the insane would undertake to believe what is not true
Tx:4.57 We have said that you cannot change your  mind by changing your behavior, but we have also said, and many times
Tx:4.57  we have also said, and many times before, that you can change your  mind. When your mood tells you that you have chosen wrongly, and this
Tx:4.58  to you, but it is much easier than trying to think against it. Your  mind is one with God's. Denying this and thinking otherwise has held
Tx:4.58  otherwise has held your ego together but has literally split your  mind. As a loving brother, I am deeply concerned with your mind and
Tx:4.58  your mind. As a loving brother, I am deeply concerned with your  mind and urge you to follow my example as you look at yourselves and
Tx:4.61  ego to me. That is what Atonement is for. But until you change your  mind about those your ego has hurt, the Atonement cannot release you.
Tx:4.62 Watch your  mind for the temptations of the ego and do not be deceived by it.
Tx:4.62  you have given up this voluntary dispiriting, you will see how your  mind can focus and rise above fatigue and heal. Yet you are not

Tx:4.67  Although I am not attacking your egos, I am working with your higher  mind whether you are asleep or awake, just as your ego does with your
Tx:4.67  you are asleep or awake, just as your ego does with your lower  mind. I am your vigilance in this, because you are too confused to
Tx:4.69  it devotes its maximum vigilance. This is not the way a balanced  mind holds together. Its control is unconscious. The ego is further
Tx:4.71  idea that the body is good enough to be its home. Here is where the  mind becomes actually dazed. Being told by the ego that it is really
Tx:4.71  is really part of the body and that the body is its protector, the  mind is also constantly informed that the body can not protect it.
Tx:4.72 Therefore the  mind asks, “Where can I go for protection?” to which the ego replies,
Tx:4.72  I go for protection?” to which the ego replies, “Turn to me.” The  mind, and not without cause, reminds the ego that it has itself
Tx:4.73  directed. The goal must be formulated clearly and kept in  mind. As a teacher with some experience, let me remind you that
Tx:4.74  to do so it could have made the eternal because, as a product of the  mind, it is endowed with the power of its own creator. However, the
Tx:4.75  questions, it hopes to hide the real question and keep it out of  mind. The ego's characteristic busyness with non-essentials is for
Tx:4.76  to relate the concept to the unimportant in an effort to satisfy the  mind without jeopardizing itself. Thus, it has permitted minds to
Tx:4.77  which the ego can tolerate, is among its more recent appeals to the  mind. It is noticeable, however, that in all these diversionary
Tx:4.78  which you must learn to ask in connection with everything your  mind wishes to undertake. What is the purpose? Whatever it is, you
Tx:4.80  yourselves are willing to limit the questions you raise about his  mind because you are also accepting these limits for yours. This
Tx:4.82  That is its essential difference from everything else the  mind can grasp. “A little knowledge” is not dangerous except to the

Tx:4.97  cannot endow itself with functions it was not given. That is why the  mind cannot totally lose the ability to communicate, even though it
Tx:4.98  is completely without these distinctions. It is a state in which the  mind is in communication with everything that is real, including the
Tx:4.99  and “being” as there is in existence. In the state of being, the  mind gives everything always.
Tx:4.101  He cannot share His joy with you until you know it with your whole  mind. Even revelation is not enough because it is communication from
Tx:4.101  its content cannot be expressed, and it is intensely personal to the  mind which receives it. It can, however, still be returned by that
Tx:4.101  mind which receives it. It can, however, still be returned by that  mind through its attitudes to other minds which the knowledge from
Tx:4.102 God is praised whenever any  mind learns to be wholly helpful. This is impossible without being
Tx:4.102  through them, and there is great joy throughout the Kingdom. Every  mind that is changed adds to this joy with its own individual
Tx:4.103 Every  mind which is split needs rehabilitation. The medical orientation to
Tx:4.105 A  mind that recoils from a hurt body is in great need of rehabilitation
Tx:4.105  hurt need true helpfulness, and whenever they are met with this, the  mind that so meets them heals itself. Rehabilitation is an attitude
Tx:5.5  lets God Himself go out into them and through them. Only the healed  mind can experience revelation with lasting effect, because
Tx:5.5  of pure joy. If you do not choose to be wholly joyous, your  mind cannot have what it does not choose to be. Remember that the
Tx:5.5  Soul knows no difference between “being” and “having.” The higher  mind thinks according to the laws which the Soul obeys and therefore
Tx:5.6  of thinking is totally alien to having things, even to the lower  mind it is quite comprehensible in connection with ideas. If you

Tx:5.18 God Himself keeps this will alive by transmitting it from His  Mind to yours as long as there is time. It is partly His and partly

Tx:5.20  is the call to Atonement or the restoration of the integrity of the  mind. When the Atonement is complete and the whole Sonship is healed,
Tx:5.24  compelling only because of what it reminds you of. It brings to your  mind the other way, remaining quiet even in the midst of the turmoil
Tx:5.25  The Holy Spirit is your Guide in choosing. He is the part of your  mind which always speaks for the right choice because He speaks for
Tx:5.26  you, because the call of both is in your will and therefore in your  mind. The Voice for God comes from your own altars to Him. These
Tx:5.27 My  mind will always be like yours, because we were created as equals. It
Tx:5.27  to share. It is made by giving and is therefore the one act of  mind that resembles true creation. You understand the role of
Tx:5.28 I promised you that the  mind that made the decision for me is also in you and that you can
Tx:5.28  you and that you can let it change you just as it changed me. This  mind is unequivocal, because it hears only one voice and answers in
Tx:5.30  enjoined you to behave as I behaved, but we must respond to the same  mind to do this. This mind is the Holy Spirit, whose will is for God
Tx:5.30  as I behaved, but we must respond to the same mind to do this. This  mind is the Holy Spirit, whose will is for God always. He teaches you
Tx:5.32  so we can use the terms as if they were related, because in His  Mind they are. The relationship must be in His Mind because, unless
Tx:5.32  because in His Mind they are. The relationship must be in His  Mind because, unless it were, the separation between the two ways of
Tx:5.32  not be open to healing. He is part of the Holy Trinity because His  Mind is partly yours and also partly God's. This needs clarification,
Tx:5.34  are diametrically opposed to each other. They must both be in your  mind, because you are the perceiver. They must also be in his,
Tx:5.34  you are perceiving him. See him through the Holy Spirit in his  mind, and you will recognize Him in yours. What you acknowledge in
Tx:5.35  is impossible to hear it in yourself while it is so weak in your own  mind. It is not weak in itself, but it is limited by your
Tx:5.36  the same realm of discourse in which the ego itself operates, or the  mind would be unable to understand the change.
Tx:5.37 We have repeatedly emphasized that one level of the  mind is not understandable to another. So it is with the ego and the
Tx:5.37  understands it perfectly. Time is a belief of the ego, so the lower  mind, which is the ego's domain, accepts it without question. The
Tx:5.39  you will react viciously because the idea of danger has entered your  mind. The idea itself is an appeal to the ego.
Tx:5.40  of your beliefs. The separation is merely another term for a split  mind. It was not an act, but a thought. Therefore, the idea of
Tx:5.40  idea of unity can. Either way, the idea will be strengthened in the  mind of the giver.

Tx:5.41  You let your mind misperceive, but the Holy Spirit lets your  mind reinterpret its own misperceptions. The Holy Spirit is the
Tx:5.41  perfectly, because it is His own dwelling place or the place in the  mind where He is at home.
Tx:5.42  Spirit must perceive time and reinterpret it into the timeless. The  mind must be led into eternity through time because, having made
Tx:5.43  must work through opposites, because He must work with and for a  mind that is in opposition. Correct and learn and be open to
Tx:5.47  but it can increase as you are willing to return the part of your  mind that needs healing to the higher part and thus render your
Tx:5.50  cancel out your past errors alone. They will not disappear from your  mind without remedy. The remedy is not of your making, any more than
Tx:5.52  means the will to share the voice in order to hear it yourself. The  mind that was in me is still irresistibly drawn to every mind created
Tx:5.52  The mind that was in me is still irresistibly drawn to every  mind created by God, because God's Wholeness is the wholeness of His
Tx:5.54  is the name of God's Son. What I learned I give you freely, and the  mind which was in me rejoices as you choose to hear it. The Holy
Tx:5.54  of us by undoing and thus lifts the burden you have placed in your  mind. By following Him, He leads you back to God where you belong,
Tx:5.56 Ideas do not leave the  mind which thought them to have a separate being, nor do separate
Tx:5.57 The Atonement gives you the power of a healed  mind, but the power to create is of God. Therefore, those who have
Tx:5.59  logic is as impeccable as that of the Holy Spirit, because your  mind has all the means at its disposal to side with Heaven or earth,
Tx:5.61 The ego is the part of the  mind which believes in division. How can part of God detach itself
Tx:5.62 However ridiculous the idea of attacking God may be to the sane  mind, never forget that the ego is not sane. It represents a
Tx:5.63 Whatever you accept into your  mind has reality for you. It is, however, only your acceptance of it
Tx:5.63  it or allowed it to enter makes it your reality. This is because the  mind, as God created it, is capable of creating reality. We said
Tx:5.64  as doom, but you must learn to regard it as freedom. The guiltless  mind cannot suffer. Being sane, it heals the body because it has been
Tx:5.64  Being sane, it heals the body because it has been healed. The sane  mind cannot conceive of illness, because it cannot conceive of
Tx:5.67  a decision. Together they constitute all the alternatives which the  mind can accept and obey. The ego and the Holy Spirit are the only
Tx:5.68  obey its orders. This makes them feel responsible for their  mind errors, without recognizing that by accepting this
Tx:5.70  results of this decision at that time. Any decision of the  mind will affect both behavior and experience. What you will, you
Tx:5.70  experience. What you will, you expect. This is not delusional. Your  mind does create your future, and it can turn it back to full
Tx:5.73 The  mind does indeed know its power, because the mind does indeed know
Tx:5.73 The mind does indeed know its power, because the  mind does indeed know God. Remember the Kingdom always, and remember

Tx:5.84  was extremely ingenious because Freud was extremely ingenious, and a  mind must endow its thoughts with its own attributes. This is its

Tx:5.85  basis for His unequivocal Voice. The Holy Spirit never changes His  Mind. Clarity of thought cannot occur under conditions of
Tx:5.85  of thought cannot occur under conditions of vacillation. Unless a  mind is fixed in its purpose, it is not clear. Clarity literally
Tx:5.86  real release from the time belief, had Freud pursued it with an open  mind. Freud, however, suffered all his life from refusal to allow
Tx:5.86  all his life from refusal to allow eternity to dawn upon his  mind and enlighten it truly. As a result, he overlooked now entirely
Tx:5.87  Therefore, he emphasized that the point in development at which the  mind is fixated is more real to itself than the external reality with
Tx:5.88  fixation as involving irrevocable “danger points” to which the  mind could always regress, the concept can also be interpreted as an
Tx:5.88  can also be interpreted as an irrevocable call to sanity which the  mind cannot lose. Freud himself could not accept this interpretation,
Tx:5.88  as well as theoretically. He tried every means his very inventive  mind could devise to set up a form of therapy which could enable the
Tx:5.88  mind could devise to set up a form of therapy which could enable the  mind to escape from fixation forever, even though he knew this was
Tx:5.91  is no order of difficulty in miracles. He has not learned that every  mind God created is equally worthy of being healed because God
Tx:5.91  God created it whole. You are merely asked to return to God the  mind as He created it. He asks you only for what He gave, knowing
Tx:5.92  to Him. He wills to keep it in perfect peace, because you are of one  mind and spirit with Him. Excluding yourself from the Atonement is
Tx:6.25  of God, which is His peace, cannot be appreciated except by a whole  mind which recognizes the wholeness of God's creation and by this
Tx:6.27  will always hurt you. It reinforces your belief in your own split  mind, and its only purpose is to keep the separation going. It is
Tx:6.28  has a better counterpart, because its abilities are directed by the  mind which has a better Voice. The Holy Spirit as well as the ego
Tx:6.32  His Thought and retaining the extensions of His Thought in His  Mind. All His Thoughts are thus perfectly united within themselves
Tx:6.33 Thoughts begin in the  mind of the thinker from which they [extend] outward. This is as true
Tx:6.33  well as think. Yet perception cannot escape from the basic laws of  mind. You perceive from your mind and extend your perceptions
Tx:6.33  cannot escape from the basic laws of mind. You perceive from your  mind and extend your perceptions outward. Although perception of any
Tx:6.33  This convergence seems to be far in the future only because your  mind is not in perfect alignment with the idea and therefore does not
Tx:6.34  this because he speaks for God. He tells you to return your whole  mind to God, because it has never left Him. If it has never left Him,
Tx:6.36  This line is the direct line of communication with God and lets your  mind converge with His. There is no conflict anywhere in this
Tx:6.36  it means that all perception is guided by the Holy Spirit, Whose  Mind is fixed on God. Only the Holy Spirit can resolve conflict,
Tx:6.36  Holy Spirit is conflict-free. He perceives only what is true in your  mind and extends outward only to what is true in other minds.
Tx:6.37  to deceive. The Holy Spirit projects by recognizing Himself in every  mind and thus perceives them as one. Nothing conflicts in this
Tx:6.38 The great peace of the Kingdom shines in your  mind forever, but it must shine outward to make you aware of it. The
Tx:6.38  but your part is only to allow no darkness to abide in your own  mind. This alignment with light is unlimited, because it is in
Tx:6.39  This is because, as we have said before, every idea begins in the  mind of the thinker and extends outward. Therefore, what extends from
Tx:6.39  of the thinker and extends outward. Therefore, what extends from the  mind is still in it, and from what it extends it knows itself. That
Tx:6.40  communication of God. Thus, being is never threatened. Your Godlike  mind can never be defiled. The ego never was and never will be part
Tx:6.42  Holy Spirit because, as you see His gentleness in others, your own  mind perceives itself as totally harmless. Once it can accept this
Tx:6.42  They bless because they know they are blessed. Without anxiety the  mind is wholly kind, and because it projects beneficence, it is
Tx:6.46  separate and outside its maker, thus speaking for the part of your  mind that believes you are separate and outside the Mind of God. The
Tx:6.46  the part of your mind that believes you are separate and outside the  Mind of God. The ego, then, raised the first question that was ever
Tx:6.48  hear the Holy Spirit, but it does believe that part of the same  mind that made it is against it. It interprets this as a
Tx:6.48  though not of brothers. Perceiving something alien to itself in your  mind, the ego turns to the body, not the mind, as its ally, because
Tx:6.48  alien to itself in your mind, the ego turns to the body, not the  mind, as its ally, because the body is not part of you. This makes
Tx:6.49  involves. The ego, which is not real, attempts to persuade the  mind, which is real, that the mind is its own learning device and

Tx:7.56  to preserve itself is enormous, but it stems from the power of the  mind, which the ego denies. This means that the ego attacks what is

Tx:7.87 To fragment is to break into pieces, and  mind cannot attack or be attacked. The belief that it can, a fallacy

Tx:7.94 The Kingdom is forever extending, because it is in the  Mind of God. You do not know your joy, because you do not know your

Tx:8.53 Attack is always physical. When attack in any form enters your  mind, you are equating yourself with a body. This is the ego's

Tx:8.62  stop at the body, for if it does, it is blocked in its purpose. A  mind which has been blocked has allowed itself to be vulnerable to

Tx:8.65  a body as anything except a means of pure extension is to limit your  mind and hurt yourself. Health is therefore nothing more than united
Tx:8.65  than united purpose. If the body is brought under the purpose of the  mind, the body becomes whole, because the mind's purpose is one.

Tx:8.82 Wholeness heals because it is of the  mind. All forms of sickness, even unto death, are physical
Tx:8.85  which always weakens the will, wants to separate the body from the  mind. This is an attempt to destroy it, yet the ego actually believes
Tx:8.85  that it is protecting it. This is because the ego believes that  mind is dangerous and that to make mindless is to heal. But to make
Tx:8.88  God lays none upon you. When you limit yourself, we are not of one  mind and that is sickness. Yet sickness is not of the body, but of
Tx:8.88  and that is sickness. Yet sickness is not of the body, but of the  mind. All forms of dysfunction are merely signs that the mind has
Tx:8.88  but of the mind. All forms of dysfunction are merely signs that the  mind has split and does not accept a unified purpose.
Tx:8.90  of the Will of God is one of the strangest beliefs that the human  mind has ever made. This could not possibly have occurred unless the

Tx:8.90  the mind were already profoundly split, making it possible for the  mind to be afraid of what it really is. It is apparent that reality
Tx:8.93  of this will can make it real to you because He is in your  mind and therefore He is your reality. If, then, His perception of

Tx:8.97 No mind can believe that its will is stronger than God's. If, then, a  mind believes that its will is different from His, it can only decide
Tx:8.103  consider the result of this strange decision. You are devoting your  mind to what you do not want. How real can this devotion be? If you
Tx:8.111  it? Your brother may not know who he is, but there is a light in his  mind which does know. This light can shine into yours, making his
Tx:8.112 Salvation is of your brother. The Holy Spirit extends from your  mind to his and answers you. You cannot hear the Voice for God in
Tx:9.18  find satisfaction in fantasy, so that his only hope is to change his  mind about reality. Only if the decision that reality is fearful is
Tx:9.23  identified as unreal. Yet if the dreamer is equated with the  mind, the mind's corrective power through the Holy Spirit is denied.
Tx:9.27  who no longer believes in nightmares of any kind. The light in his  mind will therefore answer the questioner, who must decide with God
Tx:9.37  until you remember God's open arms and finally know His open  mind. Like Him, you are “always,” in His Mind and with a mind like
Tx:9.37  and finally know His open mind. Like Him, you are “always,” in His  Mind and with a mind like His. In your open mind are your creations,
Tx:9.37  His open mind. Like Him, you are “always,” in His Mind and with a  mind like His. In your open mind are your creations, in perfect

Tx:9.40  must be in your mind because He is. The ego is also in your  mind, because you have accepted it there. Its evaluation of you,
Tx:9.51  the faintest hint of your reality literally drives the ego from your  mind because of complete lack of investment in it. Grandeur is
Tx:9.52  your grandeur is your abundance. By blessing, you hold it in your  mind, protecting it from illusions and keeping yourself in the Mind
Tx:9.52  your mind, protecting it from illusions and keeping yourself in the  Mind of God. Remember always that you cannot be anywhere except in
Tx:9.52  of God. Remember always that you cannot be anywhere except in the  Mind of God. When you forget this, you will despair, and you will
Tx:9.57 You are altogether irreplaceable in the  Mind of God. No one else can fill your part of it, and while you
Tx:9.57  would not have it so, and so it is not so. Your value is in God's  Mind and therefore not in yours alone. To accept yourself as God
Tx:9.59  because nothing is beyond you. Time and eternity are both in your  mind and will conflict until you perceive time solely as a means to
Tx:9.61 God does not change His  Mind about you, for He is not uncertain of Himself. And what He knows
Tx:9.61  realize how much is up to you. When anything threatens your peace of  mind, ask yourself,
Tx:9.62 Has God changed His  Mind about me?
Tx:9.63  His decision, for it is indeed changeless, and refuse to change your  mind about yourself. God will never decide against you, or He would
Tx:9.64  because the laws of God protect it by His Love. Any part of your  mind that does not know this has banished itself from knowledge
Tx:9.67  to create, you will have willed away the separation, returning your  mind simultaneously to your Creator and your creations. Knowing them,
Tx:9.68  material is accepted, it ceases to be fearful, for the laws of  mind always hold.
Tx:9.70 To remember is merely to restore to your  mind what is already there. You do not make what you remember; you
Tx:9.73 If you realized the complete havoc this makes of your peace of  mind, you could not make such an insane decision. You make it only
Tx:9.73  want. It follows, then, that you want something other than peace of  mind, but you have not considered what it must be. Yet the logical
Tx:9.75 God would have them released from their sickness and returned to His  Mind. He will not limit your power to help them, because He has given
Tx:9.75  Sonship He is accepted. He is always accepted for all, and when your  mind receives Him, the remembrance of Him awakens throughout the
Tx:9.80  value for you, and it is this value that makes you whole. A whole  mind is not idolatrous and does not know of conflicting laws. I will
Tx:9.86 Reality can dawn only on an unclouded  mind. It is always there to be accepted, but its acceptance depends
Tx:9.86  to evaluate it truly, to let it go. Knowledge cannot dawn on a  mind full of illusions because truth and illusions are
Tx:9.86  are irreconcilable. Truth is whole and cannot be known by part of a  mind.
Tx:9.87  Oneness cannot be divided. If you perceive other gods, your  mind is split, and you will not be able to limit the split because
Tx:9.87  because the split is the sign that you have removed part of your  mind from God's Will, and this means it is out of control. To be out
Tx:9.87  out of control. To be out of control is to be out of reason, and the  mind does become unreasonable without reason. This is merely a matter
Tx:9.87  reason. This is merely a matter of definition. By defining the  mind wrongly, you perceive it as functioning wrongly.
Tx:9.90  of idols becomes inconceivable. There are no strange images in the  Mind of God, and what is not in His Mind cannot be in yours because
Tx:9.90  are no strange images in the Mind of God, and what is not in His  Mind cannot be in yours because you are of One Mind and that Mind
Tx:9.90  what is not in His Mind cannot be in yours because you are of One  Mind and that Mind belongs to Him. It is yours, because it belongs to
Tx:9.90  in His Mind cannot be in yours because you are of One Mind and that  Mind belongs to Him. It is yours, because it belongs to Him, for
Tx:9.91  that his brother can do it. It is a call to the Holy Spirit in his  mind, a call to Him which is strengthened by this joining. Because

Tx:9.96 Sickness and death entered the  Mind of God's Son against His Will. The “attack on God” made His Son
Tx:9.101  If you deny Him, you bring sin, pain, and suffering into your own  mind because of the power He gave it. Your mind is capable of
Tx:9.101  suffering into your own mind because of the power He gave it. Your  mind is capable of creating worlds, but it can also deny what it
Tx:9.102  That was the condition of His Son's creation, fixed forever in the  Mind of God. To know that is sanity. To deny it is insanity. God gave
Tx:10.3  and more obscure becomes the way. Yet even the little spark in your  mind is enough to lighten it. Bring this light fearlessly with you
Tx:10.5  He wills His Son to be and where he is. In whatever part of the  Mind of God's Son you restore this reality, you restore it to
Tx:10.5  this reality, you restore it to yourself. For you dwell in the  Mind of God with your brother, for God Himself did not will to be
Tx:10.7  His Will would not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can part of His  Mind contain nothing? If your place in His Mind cannot be filled by
Tx:10.7  Can part of His Mind contain nothing? If your place in His  Mind cannot be filled by anyone except you, and your filling it was
Tx:10.7  your creation, without you there would be an empty place in God's  Mind. Extension cannot be blocked, and it has no voids. It continues
Tx:10.10 God has given you a place in His  Mind which is yours forever. Yet you could keep it only by giving it,
Tx:10.10  if it was given you because God did not will to be alone? God's  Mind cannot be lessened. It can only be increased, and everything He

Tx:10.29  not know that you are there. For what is unlike God cannot enter His  Mind because it was not His Thought and therefore does not belong to
Tx:10.30  be excluded if he would know the Wholeness of his Father. In your  mind, you can accept the whole Sonship and bless it with the light

Tx:10.86  accept your brother's variable perception of himself, for his split  mind is yours, and you will not accept your healing without his. For
Tx:10.87 If you perceive offense in a brother, pluck the offense from your  mind, for you are offended by Christ and are deceived in Him. Heal in
Tx:11.2  a mental split in which you have attacked the integrity of your  mind and pitted one level within it against another.
Tx:11.4 Perhaps the danger of this to your own  mind is not yet fully apparent to you, but this by no means signifies

Tx:11.28 Salvation is for the  mind, and it is attained through peace. This is the only thing that
Tx:11.30  of God's Son are the world's reality, the real world must be in his  mind. His insane thoughts, too, must be in his mind, but an internal
Tx:11.30  world must be in his mind. His insane thoughts, too, must be in his  mind, but an internal conflict of this magnitude he cannot tolerate.
Tx:11.30  an internal conflict of this magnitude he cannot tolerate. A split  mind is endangered, and the recognition that it encompasses
Tx:11.30  opposed thoughts within itself is intolerable. Therefore the  mind projects the split, not the reality. Everything you perceive as
Tx:11.31  this way. That is why you must realize that your hatred is in your  mind and not outside it before you can get rid of it and why you must

Tx:11.34 Yet this world is only in the  mind of its maker along with his real salvation. Do not believe it is

Tx:11.34  you will recognize that all attack which you perceive is in your own  mind and nowhere else, you will at last have placed its source, and
Tx:11.37  to find. The search is inevitable because the ego is part of your  mind, and because of its source, the ego is not wholly split off, or
Tx:11.37  wholly split off, or it could not be believed at all. For it is your  mind that believes in it and gives existence to it. Yet it is also
Tx:11.37  that believes in it and gives existence to it. Yet it is also your  mind that has the power to deny the ego's existence, and you will
Tx:11.43  they see no need to do so. Before the idea of attack can enter your  mind, you must have perceived yourself as weak. Because you had

Tx:11.60  light streams into it, and the Spirit of God's Son shines in the  Mind of the Father and becomes one with it. Very gently does God
Tx:11.65  so will you see in. Two ways of looking at the world are in your  mind, and your perception will reflect the guidance you chose.
Tx:11.66  For you will think they are the same because you want them both. The  mind always strives for integration, and if it is split and wants to
Tx:11.67  it is not up to you whether to project, for projection is a law of  mind. Perception is projection, and you look in before you look out.
Tx:11.68  separated from each other because you made them different. The  mind then sees a divided world outside itself but not within. This
Tx:11.71  saw. Yet you could not have seen reality, for the reality of your  mind is the loveliest of God's creations. Coming only from God, its
Tx:11.71  looked upon me and all your brothers in the perfect safety of the  mind which created us. For we are there in the peace of the Father,

Tx:12.34  For these figures have no witnesses, being perceived in one separate  mind only.
Tx:12.35  what you attack is not in others. Its only reality is in your own  mind, and by attacking others, you are literally attacking what is
Tx:12.38  you overlook reality completely, and you see only your own split  mind everywhere you look. God calls you and you do not hear, for you
Tx:12.63  for whenever judgment enters, reality has slipped away. The out of  mind is out of sight because what is denied is there but is not

Tx:12.75  your brothers can you need? We will restore to you the peace of  mind that we must find together. The Holy Spirit will teach you to

Tx:13.1  indeed be impossible to be in the world with this knowledge. For the  mind that knows this unequivocally knows also that it dwells in
Tx:13.2  no aspect is separate. You are an aspect of knowledge, being in the  Mind of God, Who knows you. All knowledge must be yours, for in you
Tx:13.4  Spirit has no function. He is not separate from either, being in the  mind of both and knowing that mind is one. He is a Thought of God,
Tx:13.4  not separate from either, being in the mind of both and knowing that  mind is one. He is a Thought of God, and God has given Him to you
Tx:13.14  You could as easily have freed him from the past and lifted from his  mind the cloud of guilt that binds him to it. And in his freedom
Tx:13.16  for it is there until it is undone. Guilt is always in your own  mind, which has condemned itself. Project it not, for while you do,
Tx:13.20 You are accustomed to the notion that the  mind can see the source of pain where it is not. The doubtful service
Tx:13.24  even less, will be enough to free you from the past and give your  mind in peace over to the Atonement. When everyone is welcome to you
Tx:13.26 The Holy Spirit does not keep illusions in your  mind to frighten you and show them to you fearfully to demonstrate
Tx:13.29  you were. Your guilt is without reason, because it is not in the  Mind of God where you are. And this is reason, which the Holy Spirit
Tx:13.35  this, he must escape, for such a war would surely end his peace of  mind and so destroy him. Yet if he could but realize the war is
Tx:13.39  in which He has established you, because He does not change His  Mind. He is invariable as the peace in which you dwell and of which
Tx:13.43  suffices. Learn that even the darkest nightmare that disturbed the  Mind of God's sleeping Son holds no power over him. He will learn the
Tx:13.45  The Holy Spirit has a very different kind of reconciliation in His  Mind for you, and one which He will effect as surely as the ego will
Tx:13.51  system which you made would be forever dark. The thoughts which the  Mind of God's Son projects have all the power that he gives to them.
Tx:13.55  “treasure” that you sought. Yet you will add another burden to your  mind, already burdened or you would not have sought another. You will
Tx:13.72  be. Do not attest to it, and do not foster belief in it in any  mind. Remember always that mind is one and cause is one. You will
Tx:13.72  it, and do not foster belief in it in any mind. Remember always that  mind is one and cause is one. You will learn communication with this
Tx:13.76  against it, for being of Him, it must be true. Peace abides in every  mind that quietly accepts the plan which God has set for his
Tx:13.77  everything that would obscure your innocence from your unclouded  mind.
Tx:13.79  quite impossible that He could ever let His Son drop from His loving  mind wherein he was created and where his abode was fixed in perfect
Tx:13.87  in which what is not there has been removed from the disordered  mind that thought it was. This state, and only this, must you attain
Tx:13.88 When you have let all that obscured the truth in your most holy  mind be undone for you and stand in grace before your Father, He will
Tx:13.88  learn how to forgive and restore what always was to your unforgiving  mind. Atonement becomes real and visible to them that use it. On
Tx:13.89  guilt arises from your failure to fulfill your function in God's  Mind with all of yours. Can you escape this guilt by failing to
Tx:14.1  complete that knowledge is swept away from recognition in the very  mind where God Himself has placed it. If you would but listen and
Tx:14.3  was established as the means of restoring guiltlessness to the  mind which has denied it and thus denied Heaven to itself. Atonement
Tx:14.4  he sees himself. God can communicate only to the Holy Spirit in your  mind because only He shares the knowledge of what you are with God.
Tx:14.4  knows what God is. Everything else that you have placed within your  mind cannot exist, for what is not in communication with the Mind of
Tx:14.4  your mind cannot exist, for what is not in communication with the  Mind of God has never been. Communication with God is life. Nothing
Tx:14.5 The only part of your  mind that has reality is the part which links you still with God.
Tx:14.7  you. Who can condemn whom God has blessed? There is nothing in the  Mind of God that does not share His shining innocence. Creation is
Tx:14.20  knows you are not separate from God, but He perceives much in your  mind that lets you think you are. All this, and nothing else, would
Tx:14.24  together and not kept apart. For their separation is only in your  mind, and they are reconciled by union, as you are. In union,
Tx:14.28  other is seen in the same place. Light cannot enter darkness when a  mind believes in darkness and will not let it go. Truth does not
Tx:14.31  which the Holy Spirit offers you will bring this oneness to your  mind with clarity and brightness so intense you could not wish for
Tx:14.32  of the power of God that shines in you. Banish not power from your  mind, but let all that would hide your glory be brought to the
Tx:14.44  to all the world, you could not wait to make the mirror of your  mind clean to receive the image of the holiness that heals the world.
Tx:14.44  that heals the world. The image of holiness which shines in your  mind is not obscure and will not change. Its meaning to those who
Tx:14.49  than others. And this is true about the thoughts which cross the  mind of those who think they live apart. For some are reflections of
Tx:14.49  and is never still. It shifts unceasingly across the mirror of your  mind, and the reflections of Heaven last but a moment and grow dim as
Tx:14.53  You who believe you understand something of the dynamics of the  mind, let me assure you that you know nothing of it at all. For of
Tx:14.53  could not know of it. The study of the ego is not the study of the  mind. In fact, the ego enjoys the study of itself and thoroughly
Tx:14.56  to you and teach you both his love and need for love. Neither his  mind nor yours holds more than these two orders of thought.
Tx:14.69  teach yourselves He has corrected already. They do not exist in His  Mind at all. For the past binds Him not and therefore binds not you.
Tx:14.70  of you. He would establish His bright teaching so firmly in your  mind that no dark lessons of guilt can abide in what He has
Tx:14.73  this that you need do. The Holy Spirit will, of Himself, fill every  mind that so makes room for Him.
Tx:15.12  dispirited by the thought of how long it would take to change your  mind so completely, ask yourself, “How long is an instant?” Could you

Tx:15.39  holy instant yours at once, for the release from littleness in the  mind of the host of God depends on willingness and not on time. The
Tx:15.40  communication. This means, however, that it is a time in which your  mind is open, both to receive and give. It is the recognition that
Tx:15.42  you are not ready to share it with Him. And it cannot come into a  mind that has decided to oppose it. For the holy instant is given and
Tx:15.55  is only one. For the holy instant reaches to eternity and to the  Mind of God. And it is only there love has meaning, and only there
Tx:15.60  you recognize the idea of love in you and unite this idea with the  mind that thought it and could not relinquish it. By holding it
Tx:15.60  thus becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your brothers in your  mind, experiencing not loss, but completion. From this it follows you
Tx:15.63  love's meaning understood. But remember that understanding is of the  mind and only of the mind. Knowledge is therefore of the mind, and

Tx:15.63  Knowledge is therefore of the mind, and its conditions are in the  mind with it. If you were not only an idea and nothing else, you
Tx:15.67  at this, for ugliness such as this belongs not in your holy  mind. The host of God can have no real investment here.
Tx:15.69  and it is this chain the Holy Spirit would remove from his holy  mind. For the chain of savagery belongs not around the chosen host of
Tx:15.72  closeness that the ego demands, and it does not object where the  mind goes or what it thinks, for this seems unimportant. As long as
Tx:15.72  is there to receive its sacrifice, it is content. To the ego, the  mind is private, and only the body can be shared. Ideas are basically
Tx:15.75  keep minds apart. For bodies cannot forgive. They can only do as the  mind directs.
Tx:15.107  is to sacrifice nothing, and communication, which must be of the  mind, cannot be sacrificed. Where, then, is sacrifice?
Tx:16.3  aside and let the healing be done for you. Keep but one thought in  mind and do not lose sight of it, however tempted you may be to judge
Tx:16.3  situation and to determine your response by judging it. Focus your  mind only on this:
Tx:16.13  them alone. You have succeeded whenever you have reached another  mind and joined with it. When two minds join as one and share one
Tx:16.25  to God are also host to them. For nothing real has ever left the  mind of its creator. And what is not real was never there.
Tx:16.39  compatible with His. Every illusion which you accept into your  mind by judging it to be attainable removes your own sense of
Tx:16.54  angry. He merely could not let this happen. You cannot change His  Mind.
Tx:16.76  for a while and will prevent you from keeping the experience in your  mind. Yet the holy instant is eternal, and your illusions of time
Tx:17.1  purpose. They cannot do so in reality, but they can do so in the  mind that would have reality different.
Tx:17.6  forget not this: When you become disturbed and lose your peace of  mind because another is attempting to solve his problems through
Tx:17.11  of perception will undertake with you the careful searching of the  mind that made this world and uncover to you the seeming reasons for
Tx:17.12  in peace. Even salvation will become a dream and vanish from his  mind. For salvation is the end of dreams and with the closing of the
Tx:17.23  it is not and as it is not. Give the past to Him Who can change your  mind about it for you. But first be sure you fully realize what you
Tx:17.31 The ego is hyperalert to threat, and the part of your  mind into which the ego was accepted is very anxious to preserve its
Tx:17.47  Only a radical shift in purpose could induce a complete change of  mind about what the whole relationship is for. As this change
Tx:18.18  not doubt that it is real. Yet here is a world, clearly within your  mind, that seems to be outside. You do not respond to it as though
Tx:18.21  mine through His! For we are joined as in one purpose, being of one  mind with Him.
Tx:18.23  sleeping and your waking dreams represent the same wishes in your  mind, so do the real world and the truth of Heaven join in the Will
Tx:18.31  in Heaven but goes with you. Not one ray that shines forever in the  Mind of God but shines on you. Heaven is joined with you in your
Tx:18.42  instant after you have tried to remove all fear and hatred from your  mind. That is its function. Never attempt to overlook your guilt
Tx:18.43  Yet it is possible because God wills it. Nor will He change His  Mind about it. The means and purpose both belong to Him. You have
Tx:18.51 Minds are joined; bodies are not. Only by assigning to the  mind the properties of the body does separation seem to be possible.
Tx:18.51  of the body does separation seem to be possible. And it is  mind that seems to be fragmented and private and alone. Its guilt,
Tx:18.51  and dies because it is attacked, to hold the separation in the  mind and let it not know its identity. Mind cannot attack, but it can
Tx:18.51  to hold the separation in the mind and let it not know its identity.  Mind cannot attack, but it can make fantasies and direct the body to
Tx:18.51  Yet it is never what the body does that seems to satisfy. Unless the  mind believes the body is actually acting out its fantasies, it will
Tx:18.52 In this, the  mind is clearly delusional. It cannot attack, but it maintains it can
Tx:18.52  it can and uses what it does to hurt the body to prove it can. The  mind cannot attack, but it can deceive itself. And this is all it
Tx:18.56  on the universal communication which is an eternal property of  mind. But the communication is internal. [It is not made up of
Tx:18.56  [It is not made up of different parts which reach each other.]  Mind reaches to itself. It does not go out. Within itself it has no
Tx:18.59  the body and a joining of yourself and something else in which your  mind enlarges to encompass it. It becomes part of you as you unite
Tx:18.59  yourself be one with something beyond it simply by not letting your  mind be limited by it.
Tx:18.62  are the laws of limit lifted for you, to welcome you to openness of  mind and freedom. Come to this place of refuge, where you can be
Tx:18.67  against the giving in to sin; when the light comes at last into the  mind given to contemplation; or when the goal is finally achieved by
Tx:18.69  you need do nothing, you have withdrawn the body's value from your  mind. Here is the quick and open door through which you slip past
Tx:18.69  you forget and the body's activities return to occupy your conscious  mind.
Tx:18.73  dust, it bids you fight against the universe. This fragment of your  mind is such a tiny part of it that, could you but appreciate the
Tx:18.75  inhabited by bodies seem to be. Each body seems to house a separate  mind, a disconnected thought living alone and in no way joined to the
Tx:18.86  bodies, made by insanity, insane messages seem to be returned to the  mind which made it. And these messages bear witness to this world,
Tx:19.2  The body is healed because you came without it and joined the  mind in which all healing rests.
Tx:19.3  needs no healing. Its health or sickness depends entirely on how the  mind perceives it and the purpose which the mind would use it for.
Tx:19.3  entirely on how the mind perceives it and the purpose which the  mind would use it for. And it is obvious that a segment of the mind
Tx:19.3  the mind would use it for. And it is obvious that a segment of the  mind can see itself as separated from the Universal Purpose. When
Tx:19.6  attack, while the other part would heal and therefore calls upon the  mind and not the body. The inevitable compromise is the belief that
Tx:19.6  compromise is the belief that the body must be healed, and not the  mind. For this divided goal has given both an equal reality, which
Tx:19.6  has given both an equal reality, which could be possible only if the  mind is limited to the body and divided into little parts of seeming
Tx:19.6  harm the body, but it will keep the delusional thought system in the  mind.
Tx:19.7  seen together, all attempts to keep both truth and illusion in the  mind, where both must be, are recognized as dedication to illusion
Tx:19.9 If you but understood how much this strange concealment has hurt your  mind and how confused your own identification has become because of
Tx:19.13  and in Whom you are united. Grace is not given to a body, but to a  mind. And the mind that receives it looks instantly beyond the body
Tx:19.13  you are united. Grace is not given to a body, but to a mind. And the  mind that receives it looks instantly beyond the body and sees the
Tx:19.16  of being kept in prison or limited in any way except by the  mind that thought it. For it remains joined to its source, which is
Tx:19.17  the firm conviction that minds, not bodies, can attack. And thus the  mind is guilty and will forever so remain unless a mind not part of
Tx:19.17  And thus the mind is guilty and will forever so remain unless a  mind not part of it can give it absolution. Sin calls for punishment
Tx:19.19  mistaken; he can deceive himself; he can even turn the power of his  mind against himself. But he cannot sin. There is nothing he can do
Tx:19.23  For he has somehow managed to corrupt his Father and changed His  Mind completely. Mourn, then, the death of God, Whom sin has killed!
Tx:19.25  is denied the acting out, but while the guilt remains attractive the  mind will suffer and not let go of the idea of sin. For guilt still
Tx:19.25  not let go of the idea of sin. For guilt still calls to it, and the  mind hears it and yearns for it, making itself a willing captive to
Tx:19.25  thinks you are, you will always want it. And only an avenger with a  mind unlike your own could stamp it out through fear.
Tx:19.29  is but an error in perception which can be easily corrected in the  mind, although the body's eyes will see no change. The eyes see many
Tx:19.29  the body's eyes will see no change. The eyes see many things the  mind corrects, and you respond, not to the eyes' illusions, but to
Tx:19.30  aspects of the spiral, the line looks different. Yet in your  mind is One Who knows it is unbroken and forever changeless. This One
Tx:19.30  you believe in sin. In error, yes; for this can be corrected by the  mind. But sin is the belief that your perception is unchangeable and
Tx:19.30  sin is the belief that your perception is unchangeable and that the  mind must accept as true what it is told through it. If it does not
Tx:19.30  accept as true what it is told through it. If it does not obey, the  mind is judged insane. The only power which could change perception
Tx:19.32  and believe that sin is precious. For the belief that bodies limit  mind leads to a perception of the world in which the proof of
Tx:19.34  your sight. You will not see it long. For in the new perception, the  mind corrects it when it seems to be seen, and it becomes invisible.
Tx:19.61  Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far beyond the body, calling the  mind to join in holy communion and be at peace. Such is the message
Tx:19.69  is the means for reaching the goal that you assign to it. [Only the  mind can set a purpose, and only mind can see the means for its
Tx:19.69  that you assign to it. [Only the mind can set a purpose, and only  mind can see the means for its accomplishment and justify its use.]
Tx:19.69  and justify its use.] Peace and guilt are both conditions of the  mind to be attained. And these conditions are the home of the emotion
Tx:19.82  Him not and therefore brings the Creator to the awareness of every  mind which heard His Answer and accepted it.
Tx:19.90  beyond them would you remember. And as this memory rises in your  mind, peace must still surmount a final obstacle after which is
Tx:19.105  and remove all trace of guilt from his disturbed and tortured  mind. Help him to lift the heavy burden of sin you laid upon him and
Tx:20.6  For bodies can neither offer nor accept; hold out nor take. Only the  mind can value, and only the mind decides on what it would receive
Tx:20.6  nor accept; hold out nor take. Only the mind can value, and only the  mind decides on what it would receive and give. And every gift it
Tx:20.55  outward. This produces what seems to be a wall of flesh around the  mind, keeping it prisoner in a tiny spot of space and time, beholden
Tx:21.1  to you it is important. It is the witness to your state of  mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a man thinketh,
Tx:21.1  Therefore, seek not to change the world, but will to change your  mind about the world. Perception is a result, not a cause. And that
Tx:21.13  the very little on which salvation rests; the tiny change of  mind by which the crucifixion is changed to resurrection. And being
Tx:21.30  it, for nothing is so cherished and protected as is a goal the  mind accepts. This it will follow, grimly or happily, but always with
Tx:21.38  it. For sacrifice must be exacted of a body and by another body. The  mind could neither ask it nor receive it of itself. And no more could
Tx:21.38  it of itself. And no more could the body. The intention is in the  mind, which tries to use the body to carry out the means for sin in
Tx:21.38  tries to use the body to carry out the means for sin in which the  mind believes. Thus is the joining of mind and body an inescapable
Tx:21.38  the means for sin in which the mind believes. Thus is the joining of  mind and body an inescapable belief of those who value sin. And so is
Tx:21.40  it belongs beyond. You gave perception and belief and faith from  mind to body. Let them now be given back to what produced them and
Tx:21.44  not hear. The Holy Spirit's purpose was accepted by the part of your  mind the ego knows not of. No more did you. And yet this part with
Tx:21.49  and makes the world you see. It literally picks it out as the  mind directs. The laws of size and shape and brightness would hold,
Tx:21.51  this. And thus It recognizes that miracles do not affect another's  mind, only Its own. [They always change your mind.] There is no other.
Tx:21.51  do not affect another's mind, only Its own. [They always change your  mind.] There is no other.
Tx:21.52  to stay in it is capable of reason. How can the segment of the  mind devoid of reason understand what reason is or grasp the
Tx:21.56  and belief are strong in madness, guiding perception toward what the  mind has valued. But reason enters not at all in this. For the
Tx:21.57 The part of  mind where reason lies was dedicated by your will in union with your
Tx:21.61  His Son. Only were both in bodies could this be. Nor could one  mind think only for itself unless the body were the mind. For only
Tx:21.61  Nor could one mind think only for itself unless the body were the  mind. For only bodies can be separate and therefore unreal. The home
Tx:21.62 Madness is an attack on reason that drives it out of  mind and takes its place. Reason does not attack but takes the place
Tx:21.65  himself. And reason tells you it is given you to change his whole  mind, which is one with you, in just an instant. And any instant
Tx:21.81  You can desire a world you rule which rules you not, and change your  mind. You can desire to exchange your helplessness for power, and
Tx:21.82  the rest. For only then have you renounced the option to change your  mind again. When it is this you do not want, the rest are wholly
Tx:21.84  has the power to release or kill. And none can leave the thinker's  mind or leave him unaffected.
Tx:22.24  It is the meaningless idea that thoughts can leave the thinker's  mind, be different from it, and in opposition to it. If this were
Tx:22.24  Only if it were possible the Son of God could leave his Father's  Mind, make himself different, and oppose His Will, would it be
Tx:22.31  in itself, but it makes way for peace and brings you to a state of  mind in which salvation can be given you. Sin is a block, set like a
Tx:22.37  reason sees a holy relationship as what it is—a common state of  mind, where both give errors gladly to correction that both may
Tx:22.51 Do you want freedom of the body or of the  mind? For both you cannot have. Which do you value? Which is your
Tx:22.51  he believes it is and can be found. He will believe it possible of  mind or body, and he will make the other serve his choice as means to
Tx:22.52 Where freedom of the body has been chosen, the  mind is used as means whose value lies in its ability to contrive
Tx:22.52  body's freedom. Yet freedom of the body has no meaning, and so the  mind is dedicated to serve illusions. This is a situation so
Tx:23.7 The memory of God comes to the quiet  mind. It cannot come where there is conflict, for a mind at war
Tx:23.7  to the quiet mind. It cannot come where there is conflict, for a  mind at war against itself remembers not eternal gentleness. The
Tx:23.14  turn in peace to the remembrance of God, still shining in your quiet  mind.
Tx:23.52 When the temptation to attack rises to make your  mind darkened and murderous, remember you can see the battle from
Tx:23.53  them. Only a purpose unifies, and those who share a purpose have a  mind as one. The body has no purpose and must be solitary. From
Tx:24.1  and the keeping of the state of peace. Given this state the  mind is quiet, and the condition in which God is remembered is
Tx:24.2  come from your beliefs as certainly as all creation rose in His  Mind because of what He knows.
Tx:24.17  God—so like his Father that the memory of Him springs instantly to  mind. And with this memory, the Son remembers his own creations, as
Tx:24.17  the sins he held in its defense against himself will vanish as his  mind accepts the truth about himself as it returns to take their
Tx:24.19  it. Let him forgive you all your specialness and make you whole in  mind and one with him. He waits for your forgiveness only that he may
Tx:24.30  powerless to make attack upon illusions. They are not bodies; as One  mind they wait for all illusions to be brought to them and left
Tx:24.35  separation is its curse. Yet bodies have no goal. Purpose is of the  mind. And minds can change as they desire. What they are and all
Tx:24.36  and not attack, it is quite obvious. The purpose of attack is in the  mind, and its effects are felt but where it is. Nor is mind limited;
Tx:24.36  is in the mind, and its effects are felt but where it is. Nor is  mind limited; so must it be that harmful purpose hurts the mind as
Tx:24.36  Nor is mind limited; so must it be that harmful purpose hurts the  mind as one. Nothing could make less sense to specialness. Nothing
Tx:24.51  lay before you lovingly as yours forever. And no thought within His  Mind is absent from your own. It is His Will you share His love for
Tx:24.51  the world began and as He knows you still. God changes not His  Mind about His Son with passing circumstance, which has no meaning in
Tx:24.65 Ask yourself this: can you protect the  mind? The body, yes, a little—not from time, but temporarily. And
Tx:24.69  do we deal with them as if they were. It is essential it be kept in  mind that all perception still is upside down until its purpose has
Tx:25.3 The body needs no healing. But the  mind that thinks it is a body is sick indeed! And it is here that
Tx:25.4  you learn the body merely seems to be the means to do it. For the  mind is His. And so it must be yours. His holiness directs the body
Tx:25.4  And so it must be yours. His holiness directs the body through the  mind at one with Him. And you are manifest unto your holy brother, as
Tx:25.6  the world you want to live in and the state in which you think your  mind will be content and satisfied. It chooses where you think your
Tx:25.6  nor gives the slightest witness unto anything the purpose in your  mind upholdeth not. Perception is a part of what it is your purpose
Tx:25.9 The Holy Spirit serves Christ's purpose in your  mind, so that the aim of specialness can be corrected where the error
Tx:25.9  the Will of God and what you really will. But this is understood by  mind perceived as one, aware that it is one and so experienced. It is
Tx:25.10  of a oneness joined as one is meaningless. It is apparent that a  mind so split could never be the teacher of a Oneness which unites
Tx:25.10  which unites all things within itself. And so What is within this  mind and does unite all things together must be its Teacher. Yet must
Tx:25.10  must be its Teacher. Yet must It use the language which this  mind can understand in the condition in which it thinks it is. And It
Tx:25.15 Its past has failed. Be glad that it is gone within your  mind to darken what is there. Take not the form for content, for the
Tx:25.18  will see the masterpiece. Look at its loveliness, and understand the  Mind that thought it, not in flesh and bones, but in a frame as
Tx:25.19  the savior from the dark and understand your brother as his Father's  Mind shows him to you. He will step forth from darkness as you look
Tx:25.24  rules, for such a world could not have been created by the  Mind to which perception has no meaning. Yet are His laws reflected
Tx:25.27  beyond the pitiful attempts of specialness to put it out of  mind where it must be and light the body up instead of it. The lamps
Tx:25.52  And nothing that the world believes as true has any meaning in His  Mind at all. What makes no sense and has no meaning is insanity. And
Tx:25.53  agreement of their thought that makes the Son a co-creator with the  mind Whose Thought created him. And if he chooses to believe one
Tx:25.64  Have little faith that wisdom could be found in such a state of  mind. But be you thankful that only little faith is asked of you.
Tx:25.67 Vengeance is alien to God's  Mind because He knows of justice. To be just is to be fair and not be
Tx:25.67  It is impossible for you to share the Holy Spirit's justice with a  mind that can conceive of specialness at all. Yet how could He be
Tx:26.28  he fear[s,] he loves the most. What but a miracle could change his  mind, so that he understands that love cannot be feared? What other
Tx:26.32  would replace has been replaced. Time lasted but an instant in your  mind, with no effect upon eternity. And so is all time passed and
Tx:26.33  gave way to truth. Not one illusion still remains unanswered in your  mind. Uncertainty was brought to certainty so long ago that it is
Tx:26.39  he be kept in chains long since removed and gone forever from his  mind?
Tx:26.49  and their effects but seem to be apart from them. Ideas are of the  mind. What is projected out and seems to be external to the mind is
Tx:26.49  of the mind. What is projected out and seems to be external to the  mind is not outside at all but an effect of what is in and has not
Tx:26.52  world apart, and relegates attack unto Himself. Thus has He lost His  Mind, proclaiming sin has taken His reality from Him, and brought His
Tx:26.59 Sin is belief attack can be projected outside the  mind where the belief arose. Here is the firm conviction that ideas
Tx:26.60  leave not their source. Such is creation's law—that each idea the  mind conceives but adds to its abundance, never takes away. This is
Tx:26.60  as true of what is idly wished as what is truly willed, because the  mind can wish to be deceived but cannot make it be what it is not.
Tx:26.75  illusion has a cause which, though untrue, must be already in your  mind. And this illusion is but one effect which it engenders and one
Tx:27.10  For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose being open and the  mind made free again to choose what it is for. Now is it not
Tx:27.16  salvation to your brother and yourself. A broken body shows the  mind has not been healed. A miracle of healing proves that separation
Tx:27.17  to him than it has given unto you. So does your healing show your  mind is healed and has forgiven what he did not do. And so is he
Tx:27.23 [In a split  mind, identity must seem to be divided. Nor can anyone perceive a
Tx:27.23  which has conflicting purposes and different ends. Correction, to a  mind so split, must be a way to punish sins you think are yours in
Tx:27.24  is the same as pardon, then you also know the Holy Spirit's  mind and yours are one. And so your own Identity is found. Yet must
Tx:27.24  He work with what is given Him, and you allow Him only half your  mind. And thus He represents the other half and seems to have a
Tx:27.28  One Who knows correction and forgiveness are the same. With half a  mind, this is not understood. Leave then correction to the mind that
Tx:27.28  half a mind, this is not understood. Leave then correction to the  mind that is united, functioning as one because It is not split in
Tx:27.28  In His acceptance of this function lies the means whereby your  mind is unified. His single purpose unifies the halves of you which
Tx:27.37  can be answered now. Yet it must also be that in your state of  mind solution is impossible. Therefore, God must have given you a way
Tx:27.37  God must have given you a way of reaching to another state of  mind in which the answer is already there. Such is the holy instant.
Tx:27.42  the answer to itself. The holy instant is the interval in which the  mind is still enough to hear an answer which is not entailed within
Tx:27.45  heal. This does not mean the conflict must be gone forever from your  mind. For if it were, there'd be no need for healing then. But it
Tx:27.46  From there each one is born into this world as witness to a state of  mind which has transcended conflict and has reached to peace. It
Tx:27.63  is absurd when clearly seen. No one has difficulty making up his  mind to let a simple problem be resolved if it is seen as hurting him
Tx:27.68  quite apart from him, and what he sees is separate from his  mind. He cannot doubt his dreams' reality because he does not see the
Tx:27.69  he stands, a victim to a dream conceived and cherished by a separate  mind. Careless indeed of him this mind must be, as thoughtless of his
Tx:27.69  and cherished by a separate mind. Careless indeed of him this  mind must be, as thoughtless of his peace and happiness as is the
Tx:27.70  is what you choose if you deny the cause of suffering is in your  mind. Be glad indeed it is, for thus are you the one decider of your
Tx:27.73  unless a gentler dream preceded his awaking and allowed his calmer  mind to welcome, not to fear, the Voice that calls with love to waken
Tx:27.83  of God which can attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy; a  mind within a body, all are forms of circularity whose ending starts
Tx:28.1  was over long ago. The thoughts that made it are no longer in the  mind that thought of them and loved them for a little while. The
Tx:28.7  you were badly taught. And who would keep a senseless lesson in his  mind when he can learn and can preserve a better one? When ancient
Tx:28.8  there never was a time in which He did not keep It safely in your  mind. Its consequences will indeed seem new because you thought that
Tx:28.8  you remembered not their Cause. Yet was It never absent from your  mind, for it was not your Father's Will that He be unremembered by
Tx:28.11 The miracle comes quietly into the  mind that stops an instant and is still. It reaches gently from that
Tx:28.11  and is still. It reaches gently from that quiet time, and from the  mind it healed in quiet then, to other minds to share its quietness.
Tx:28.11  join in doing nothing to prevent its radiant extension back into the  mind Which caused all minds to be. Born out of sharing, there can be
Tx:28.13 How instantly the memory of God arises in the  mind that has no fear to keep the memory away. Its own remembering
Tx:28.17  limitless as is itself. Yet must all healing come about because the  mind is recognized as not within the body, and its innocence is quite
Tx:28.18  recognition, causelessness is given no effects and none are seen. A  mind within a body and a world of other bodies, each with separate
Tx:28.18  each with separate minds, are your “creations,” you the “other”  mind, creating with effects unlike yourself. And as their “father,”
Tx:28.26  no cause. Thus is the body healed by miracles because they show the  mind made sickness and employed the body to be victim or effect of
Tx:28.26  for this is not the lesson it was sent to teach. The lesson is the  mind was sick that thought the body could be sick; projecting out its
Tx:28.27  of sickness to its cause. The body is released because the  mind acknowledges “this is not done to me, but I am doing this.” And
Tx:28.27  “this is not done to me, but I am doing this.” And thus the  mind is free to make another choice instead. Beginning here,
Tx:28.29 No  mind is sick until another mind agrees that they are separate. And
Tx:28.29 No mind is sick until another  mind agrees that they are separate. And thus it is their joint
Tx:28.29  and accept the part you play in making sickness real, the other  mind cannot project its guilt without your aid in letting it perceive
Tx:28.29  your minds, from separate points of view. Uniting with a brother's  mind prevents the cause of sickness and perceived effects. Healing is
Tx:28.38  [with] one but let the other go. The dream is but illusion in the  mind. And with the mind you would unite, but never with the dream. It
Tx:28.38  the other go. The dream is but illusion in the mind. And with the  mind you would unite, but never with the dream. It is the dream you
Tx:28.38  but never with the dream. It is the dream you fear and not the  mind. You see them as the same because you think that you are but a
Tx:28.39  for your identity depends on his reality. Think rather of him as a  mind in which illusions still persist, but as a mind which brother is
Tx:28.39  rather of him as a mind in which illusions still persist, but as a  mind which brother is to you. He is not brother made by what he
Tx:28.39  It is his reality that is your brother, as is yours to him. Your  mind and his are joined in brotherhood. His body and his dreams but
Tx:28.43  accepts his union with him. His desire to be a sick and separated  mind cannot remain without a witness or a cause. And both are gone if
Tx:28.47  Who shares in them can never share in Him. But who withdraws his  mind from sharing them is sharing Him. There is no other choice.
Tx:28.56  you have made of it a symbol for the limitations which you want your  mind to have and see and keep.
Tx:28.57 The body represents the gap between the little bit of  mind you call your own and all the rest of what is really yours. You
Tx:28.58  it can have no effects. Whoever says, “There is no gap between my  mind and yours” has kept God's promise, not his tiny oath to be
Tx:28.59  of it every time he does not share a promise to be sick but lets his  mind be healed and unified. His secret vows are powerless before the
Tx:29.5  you meet and limits your ability to make communion with each other's  mind. And now it tells you where to go and how to go there, what is
Tx:29.16  and with events that seem to alter it. Yet this but means the  mind remains unchanged in its belief of what the purpose of the body
Tx:29.23  forgive your brother, that the darkness may be lifted from your  mind. When light has come to him through your forgiveness, he will
Tx:29.40  you do not have. But you can not remove the power to change your  mind and see another purpose there. Change is the greatest gift God
Tx:29.50 Yet where are dreams but in a  mind asleep? And can a dream succeed in making real the pictures it
Tx:29.53  dangerous, with forces massed against your confidence and peace of  mind. They have the power to supply your lacks and add the value
Tx:29.54  and given form and thus perceived as real and seen outside the  mind. Yet it is still a thought and cannot leave the mind that is its
Tx:29.54  outside the mind. Yet it is still a thought and cannot leave the  mind that is its source. Nor is its form apart from the idea it
Tx:29.55  of death. Its form is nowhere, for its source abides within your  mind, where God abideth not. Where is this place where what is
Tx:29.61  believe that it is not a dream. A dream of judgment came into the  mind that God created perfect as Himself. And in that dream was
Tx:29.67  for something else nor interposed between the thoughts the  mind conceives and what it sees. No one is used for something he is
Tx:29.68  dreams have little need to last. They are not made to separate the  mind from what it thinks. They do not seek to prove the dream is
Tx:30.6 This is your major problem now. You still make up your  mind and then decide to ask what you should do. And what you hear may
Tx:30.10  answer will provoke attack unless you quickly straighten out your  mind to want an answer that will work. Be certain this has happened
Tx:30.15  you cannot even let your question go, you can begin to change your  mind with this:
Tx:30.24 Now you have changed your  mind about the day and have remembered what you really want. Its
Tx:30.25  of lack of opposition to be helped. It is a statement of an open  mind, not certain yet, but willing to be shown:
Tx:30.32  can be a decision. Let this be the one reminder that you keep in  mind, and you will have the day you want and give it to the world by
Tx:30.43  forever, changelessly. For thoughts endure as long as does the  mind that thought of them. And in the Mind of God there is no ending
Tx:30.43  endure as long as does the mind that thought of them. And in the  Mind of God there is no ending nor a time in which His Thoughts were
Tx:30.43  a separate life apart from his. The thoughts you think are in your  mind, as you are in the mind Which thought of you. And so there are
Tx:30.43  from his. The thoughts you think are in your mind, as you are in the  mind Which thought of you. And so there are no separate parts in what
Tx:30.43  you. And so there are no separate parts in what exists within God's  Mind. It is forever one, eternally united and at peace.
Tx:30.47  in its eternal home, the Thought God holds of you has never left the  mind of its Creator Whom it knows, as its Creator knows that it is
Tx:30.48  you there is no eternal sky, no changeless star, and no reality. The  mind of Heaven's Son in Heaven is, for there the mind of Father and
Tx:30.48  and no reality. The mind of Heaven's Son in Heaven is, for there the  mind of Father and Son joined in creation which can have no end. You
Tx:30.48  not, then, that idols must keep hidden what you are, not from the  Mind of God, but from your own. The star shines still; the sky has
Tx:30.54 Appearances can but deceive the  mind that wants to be deceived. And you can make a simple choice that
Tx:30.57 The real world is the state of  mind in which the only purpose of the world is seen to be
Tx:30.61  and perfectly fulfilled. The real world is a state in which the  mind has learned how easily do idols go when they are still
Tx:30.61  go when they are still perceived, but wanted not. How willingly the  mind can let them go when it has understood that idols are nothing
Tx:30.73  of God. But he is saved from this dilemma if he can forgive. The  mind must think of its Creator as it looks upon itself. If you can
Tx:31.11  that you do not want? It is the recognition that it is a state of  mind unwanted that becomes the means whereby the choice is
Tx:31.12  unaware of any thoughts of evil or of good that ever crossed your  mind of anyone. Now do [you] know him not. But you are free to learn
Tx:31.28  nothing of itself at all. If you are sin you are a body, for the  mind acts not. And purpose must be in the body, not the mind. The
Tx:31.28  for the mind acts not. And purpose must be in the body, not the  mind. The body must act on its own and motivate itself. If you are
Tx:31.28  act on its own and motivate itself. If you are sin, you lock the  mind within the body, and you give its purpose to its prison-house,
Tx:31.29 Yet is the body prisoner and not the  mind. The body thinks no thoughts. It has no power to learn, to
Tx:31.29  power to learn, to pardon, nor enslave. It gives no orders that the  mind need serve nor sets conditions that it must obey. It holds in
Tx:31.29  conditions that it must obey. It holds in prison but the willing  mind that would abide in it. It sickens at the bidding of the mind
Tx:31.29  mind that would abide in it. It sickens at the bidding of the  mind that would become its prisoner. And it grows old and dies
Tx:31.29  would become its prisoner. And it grows old and dies because that  mind is sick within itself. Learning is all that causes change. And
Tx:31.29  the body, where no learning can occur, could never change unless the  mind preferred the body change in its appearances to suit the purpose
Tx:31.29  the body change in its appearances to suit the purpose given by the  mind. For it can learn, and there is all change made.
Tx:31.30 The  mind that thinks it is a sin has but one purpose—that the body be
Tx:31.32  see upholds their freedom from imprisonment and death. Open your  mind to change, and there will be no ancient penalty exacted from
Tx:31.44  to be. For it is made to serve two purposes, but one of which the  mind can recognize. The first presents the face of innocence, the
Tx:31.50  help you see this concept of the self must be undone if any peace of  mind is to be given you. Nor can it be unlearned except by lessons
Tx:31.54  law that what you see reflects the state of [the] perceiver's  mind. Yet who was it that did the choosing first? If you are what you
Tx:31.56  escape from concepts. It does not concern itself with content of the  mind, but with the simple statement that it thinks. And what can
Tx:31.58  that the learning of the world is loosening its grasp upon your  mind. And be you sure and happy in the confidence that it will go at
Tx:31.58  and happy in the confidence that it will go at last and leave your  mind at peace. The role of the accuser will appear in many places and
Tx:31.59  will see you know not what you are. It is to this unsealed and open  mind that truth returns, unhindered and unbound. Where concepts of
Tx:31.73  past the hope of change and keep it static and concealed within your  mind. Give it instead to Him Who understands the changes that it

W1:I.1  it is the exercises which will make the goal possible. An untrained  mind can accomplish nothing. It is the purpose of these exercises to
W1:I.1  nothing. It is the purpose of these exercises to train the  mind to think along the lines which the course sets forth.
W1:I.3 The purpose of these exercises is to train the  mind to a different perception of everything in the world. The
W1:I.3  which you spend any long period of time. The purpose is to train the  mind to generalize the lessons, so that you will understand that each
W1:3.2 The point of the exercises is to help you clear your  mind of all past associations, to see things exactly as they appear
W1:3.2  about them. It is therefore essential that you keep a perfectly open  mind, unhampered by judgment, in selecting the things to which the
W1:4.1  periods, begin with noting the thoughts that are crossing your  mind for about a minute. Then apply the idea to them. If you are

W1:5.6  are no small upsets. They are all equally disturbing to my peace of  mind.
W1:5.7 Then examine your  mind for whatever is distressing you, regardless of how much or how
W1:5.10 Then search your  mind for no more than a minute or so, and try to identify a number of
W1:6.3  periods which are required should be preceded by a minute or so of  mind searching, as before, and the application of the idea to each

W1:8.3 The purpose of the exercises for today is to begin to train your  mind to recognize when it is not really thinking at all. While
W1:8.3  not really thinking at all. While thoughtless “ideas” preoccupy your  mind, the truth is blocked. Recognizing that your mind has been

W1:8.9 But my  mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.
W1:8.10  or any emotion which the idea for today may induce in the  mind searching itself.
W1:9.2 It is difficult for the untrained  mind to believe that what seems to be pictured before it is not
W1:9.2  and understanding will finally come to lighten every corner of the  mind which has been cleared of the debris that darkens it.
W1:10.3  is merely another way of repeating our earlier statement that your  mind is really a blank. To recognize this is to recognize nothingness

W1:14.2  for today are to be practiced with eyes closed throughout. The  mind searching period should be short, a minute at most. Do not have
W1:14.4  eyes closed, think of all the horrors in the world that cross your  mind. Name each one as it occurs to you, and then deny its reality.
W1:14.7  It does not matter. What God did not create can only be in your own  mind apart from His. Therefore, it has no meaning. In recognition of
W1:16.4 In applying the idea for today, search your  mind for a minute or so, with eyes closed, and actively seek not to
W1:16.5  periods, first repeat the idea, and then as each one crosses your  mind, hold it in awareness while you tell yourself:
W1:19.3 The minute or so of  mind searching which today's exercises require are to be undertaken
W1:19.3  with eyes closed. The idea is to be repeated first, and then the  mind should be carefully searched for the thoughts it contains at
W1:19.3  of the central person or theme it contains and, holding it in your  mind as you do so, say:
W1:20.2  to be happy. You want peace. You do not have them now because your  mind is totally undisciplined, and you cannot distinguish between joy
W1:21.1  and extension of the preceding one. This time, however, specific  mind searching periods are necessary in addition to applying the idea
W1:21.2  repeating the idea to yourself. Then close your eyes and search your  mind carefully for situations past, present or anticipated, which
W1:21.4 As you search your  mind for all the forms in which attack thoughts present themselves,
W1:21.4  forms in which attack thoughts present themselves, hold each one in  mind and tell yourself:
W1:22.1  accurately describes the way anyone who holds attack thoughts in his  mind must see the world. Having projected his anger onto the world,
W1:22.1  will preoccupy him and people his entire world. What peace of  mind is possible to him then?
W1:23.6  and then close your eyes and devote about a minute to searching your  mind for as many attack thoughts as occur to you. As each one crosses
W1:23.6  as many attack thoughts as occur to you. As each one crosses your  mind say:
W1:23.8 Hold each attack thought in  mind as you say this, and then dismiss that thought and go on to the
W1:24.2  you cannot learn. The idea for today is a step toward opening your  mind so that learning can begin.
W1:24.3  of a large number. Two minutes are suggested for each of the  mind searching periods which the exercises involve.
W1:24.4  periods begin with repeating today's idea, followed by searching the  mind with closed eyes for unresolved situations about which you are
W1:24.4  want. You will quickly realize that you have a number of goals in  mind as part of the desired outcome and also that these goals are on
W1:24.8  of your goals are contradictory, that you have no unified outcome in  mind, and that you must experience disappointment in connection with
W1:24.9  goals as possible for each unresolved situation that crosses your  mind, say to yourself:

W1:28.3  to withdraw your preconceived ideas about the table and open your  mind to what it is and what it is for. You are not defining it in
W1:28.5  all your own ideas from it and look upon it with a completely open  mind. It has something to show you—something beautiful and clean
W1:30.4  and distance, but it does not depend on the body's eyes at all. The  mind is its only source.
W1:30.5  today's idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to  mind and looking within rather than without. Today's idea applies
W1:31.3  you survey your inner world, merely let whatever thoughts cross your  mind come into your awareness, each to be considered for a moment and
W1:32.2  world you see outside you and the other the world you see in your  mind. In today's exercises, try to introduce the thought that both
W1:34.1  the conditions that prevail in the other way of seeing. Peace of  mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your own
W1:34.1  your own thoughts and then extend outward. It is from your peace of  mind that a peaceful perception of the world arises.
W1:34.3 Some five minutes of  mind searching are required for each of the longer practice periods.
W1:34.3  are required for each of the longer practice periods. Search your  mind for fear thoughts, anxiety provoking situations, “offending”

W1:34.5  are to be frequent and made whenever you feel your peace of  mind is threatened in any way. The purpose is to protect yourself
W1:34.7 If the inroads on your peace of  mind take the form of more generalized adverse emotions, such as
W1:34.7  more than one application of today's idea to help you change your  mind in any specific context, try to take several minutes and devote
W1:35.4  today's idea to yourself and then close your eyes and search your  mind for the various kinds of descriptive terms in which you see
W1:35.5 In the earlier part of the  mind searching period, you will probably emphasize what you consider
W1:35.5  however, more self-inflating descriptive terms may well cross your  mind. Try to recognize that the direction of your fantasies about
W1:35.8  situations, personalities and events in which you figure cross your  mind. Pick up any specific situation that occurs to you, identify the
W1:35.9 But my  mind is part of God's. I am very holy.
W1:36.1  from the perceiver to the perceived. You are holy because your  mind is part of God's. And because you are holy, your sight must be
W1:36.1  You cannot be without sin a little. You are sinless or not. If your  mind is part of God's, you must be sinless or a part of His Mind
W1:36.1  If your mind is part of God's, you must be sinless or a part of His  Mind would be sinful. Your sight is related to His holiness, not to
W1:38.1  power because it establishes you as a Son of God, at one with the  Mind of his Creator. Through your holiness, the power of God is made
W1:38.4  repeat the idea for today, close your eyes, and then search your  mind for any sense of loss or unhappiness of any kind as you see it.
W1:38.9  a specific problem concerning you or someone else arises or comes to  mind. In that event, use the more specific form of application.
W1:39.8  and without undue emphasis on any one in particular, search your  mind for every thought that stands between you and your salvation.

W1:41.2  cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the  mind that thought these things were real and suffered out of its
W1:41.3  goes with you wherever you go. Nothing can destroy your peace of  mind because God goes with you wherever you go.
W1:41.5  idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply into your own  mind, keeping it clear of any thoughts that might divert your
W1:42.7  contain. Let them come without censoring unless you realize your  mind is merely wandering and you have let obviously irrelevant
W1:42.7  You may also reach a point where no thoughts at all seem to come to  mind. If such interferences occur, open your eyes and repeat the
W1:42.7  once more, and then continue to look for related thoughts in your  mind.
W1:43.3  you do, you do in Him because whatever you think, you think with His  Mind. If vision is real, and it is real to the extent to which it
W1:43.11 If you should find your  mind wandering, if you begin to be aware of thoughts which are

W1:44.3  form for the undisciplined mind and represents a major goal of  mind training. It embodies precisely what the untrained mind lacks.
W1:44.3  goal of mind training. It embodies precisely what the untrained  mind lacks. Yet the training must be accomplished if you are to see.
W1:44.4  today is the most natural and easy one in the world for the trained  mind, just as it seems to be the most unnatural and difficult for the
W1:44.4  as it seems to be the most unnatural and difficult for the untrained  mind.
W1:44.5 Your  mind is no longer wholly untrained. You are quite ready to learn the
W1:44.7  repeating the idea several times more. Then try to sink into your  mind, letting go every kind of interference and intrusion by quietly
W1:44.7  of interference and intrusion by quietly sinking past them. Your  mind cannot be stopped in this unless you choose to stop it. It is
W1:45.2 You think with the  Mind of God. Therefore you share your thoughts with Him, as He shares
W1:45.2  you. They are the same thoughts because they are thought by the same  Mind. To share is to make alike or to make one. Nor do the thoughts
W1:45.2  to make alike or to make one. Nor do the thoughts you think with the  Mind of God leave your mind, because thoughts do not leave their
W1:45.2  one. Nor do the thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave your  mind, because thoughts do not leave their source. Therefore your
W1:45.2  do not leave their source. Therefore your thoughts are in the  Mind of God, as you are. They are in your mind as well, where He is.
W1:45.2  your thoughts are in the Mind of God, as you are. They are in your  mind as well, where He is. As you are part of His Mind, so are your
W1:45.2  They are in your mind as well, where He is. As you are part of His  Mind, so are your thoughts part of His thoughts.
W1:45.3  we will attempt to reach them. We will have to look for them in your  mind because that is where they are. They must still be there because
W1:45.3  still be there because they cannot have left. What is thought by the  Mind of God is eternal, being part of creation.
W1:45.6  in thinking a few relevant thoughts of your own, keeping the idea in  mind as you do so. After you have added some four or five thoughts of
W1:45.7 My real thoughts are in my  mind. I would like to find them.
W1:45.8  try to go past all the unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your  mind, and reach to the eternal.
W1:45.9  thoughts and mad ideas with which you have cluttered up your  mind are the thoughts which you thought with God in the beginning.
W1:45.9  which you thought with God in the beginning. They are there in your  mind now, completely unchanged. They will always be in your mind,
W1:45.9  in your mind now, completely unchanged. They will always be in your  mind, exactly as they always were.
W1:45.10  toward which the exercises for today are directed. Here is your  mind joined with the Mind of God. Here are your thoughts one with His.
W1:45.10  exercises for today are directed. Here is your mind joined with the  Mind of God. Here are your thoughts one with His.
W1:45.12  how important it is to you to understand the holiness of the  mind that thinks with God. Take a minute or two as you repeat the
W1:46.2  Forgiveness thus undoes what fear has produced, returning the  mind to the awareness of God. For this reason, forgiveness can truly
W1:46.3  your eyes as you do so and spend a minute or two in searching your  mind for those whom you have not forgiven. It does not matter “how
W1:46.6  you have applied the idea for today to all those who have come to  mind, tell yourself,
W1:46.11  a Son of God. I have already been forgiven. No fear is possible in a  mind beloved of God. There is no need to attack, because Love has
W1:47.8  the latter phase of the practice period, try to reach down into your  mind to a place of real safety. You will recognize that you have
W1:47.8  all the trivial things that churn and bubble on the surface of your  mind, and reach down and below them to the Kingdom of Heaven. There
W1:48.2  you use the idea immediately should anything disturb your peace of  mind.
W1:48.3  awareness that there is nothing to fear shows that somewhere in your  mind, not necessarily in a place which you recognize as yet, you have
W1:49.1  interrupting your regular activities in any way. The part of your  mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God,
W1:49.1  whether you are aware of it or not. It is the other part of your  mind that functions in the world and obeys the world's laws. It is
W1:49.2  Try today not to listen to it. Try to identify with the part of your  mind where stillness and peace reign forever. Try to hear God's Voice
W1:49.4 Listen in deep silence. Be very still, and open your  mind. Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover
W1:50.2  of perfect peace and safety. It will transport you into a state of  mind which nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and where
W1:50.4  surety. Let no idle and foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy  mind of the Son of God. Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the
W1:52.4 [8] My  mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. I see only my own thoughts,
W1:52.4  preoccupied with past thoughts. I see only my own thoughts, and my  mind is preoccupied with the past. What, then, can I see as it is?
W1:52.4  that I look on the past to prevent the present from dawning on my  mind. Let me understand that I am trying to use time against God. Let
W1:52.6  thoughts mean? They do not exist, and so they mean nothing. Yet my  mind is part of creation and part of its Creator. Would I not rather
W1:53.5  is the Source of all meaning, and everything that is real is in His  Mind. It is in my mind too because He created it with me. Why should
W1:53.5  all meaning, and everything that is real is in His Mind. It is in my  mind too because He created it with me. Why should I continue to
W1:54.3  me look on the world I see as the representation of my own state of  mind. I know that my state of mind can change. And so I also know the
W1:54.3  the representation of my own state of mind. I know that my state of  mind can change. And so I also know the world I see can change as
W1:54.5  be alone in anything. It is therefore in my power to change every  mind along with mine, for mine is the power of God.
W1:55.6  the world has led to a frightening picture of it. Let me open my  mind to its real purpose by withdrawing the one I have given it, and
W1:56.6 [30] God is in everything I see because God is in my  mind. In my own mind, behind all my insane thoughts of separation and
W1:56.6 [30] God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. In my own  mind, behind all my insane thoughts of separation and attack, is the
W1:56.6  who I am because I have forgotten it. It has been kept for me in the  Mind of God, Who has not left His thoughts. And I, who am among them,
W1:57.6 [35] My  mind is part of God's. I am very holy. As I share the peace of the
W1:59.6 [45] God is the  Mind with which I think. I have no thoughts I do not share with God.
W1:59.6  share with God. I have no thoughts apart from Him because I have no  mind apart from His. As part of His Mind, my thoughts are His and His
W1:59.6  apart from Him because I have no mind apart from His. As part of His  Mind, my thoughts are His and His thoughts are mine.
W1:61.7  thoughts come to you, and repeat the idea to yourself if your  mind wanders away from the central thought.
W1:62.3  It will remove all sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your  mind. It will take away all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore

W1:63.4 The light of the world brings peace to every  mind through my forgiveness. I am the means God has appointed for the
W1:64.10  difficult at first particularly, since you are not proficient in the  mind discipline which it requires. You may need to repeat “Let me not
W1:65.1  God gave me.” This is the only way in which you can find peace of  mind.
W1:65.4  This is part of the long range disciplinary training which your  mind needs, so that the Holy Spirit can use it consistently for the
W1:65.5  your eyes, repeat the idea to yourself once again, and watch your  mind carefully to catch whatever thoughts cross it.
W1:66.9  your function. We have seen that there are only two parts of your  mind. One is ruled by the ego and is made up of illusions. The other
W1:66.11  the many forms which the illusion of your function has taken in your  mind and the many ways in which you tried to find salvation under the
W1:67.5  you like Itself, this Self must be in you. And somewhere in your  mind, It is there for you to find.
W1:67.7  hear the truth about yourself as frequently as possible because your  mind is so preoccupied with false self-images. Four or five times an
W1:68.1  see yourself as a body. It is the decision to let the ego rule your  mind and to condemn the body to death.
W1:68.3  to its Creator, your Self seems to sleep, while the part of your  mind that weaves illusions in its sleep appears to be awake. Can all
W1:68.6 Begin today's extended practice period by searching your  mind for those against whom you hold what you regard as major
W1:69.4  content which generally occupies your consciousness. Think of your  mind as a vast circle, surrounded by a layer of heavy dark clouds.
W1:69.6  Determine to go past the clouds. Reach out and touch them in your  mind; brush them aside with your hand; feel them resting on your
W1:69.8  go through the clouds to the light, to hold this confidence in your  mind. Try to remember that you are at last joining your will to
W1:69.8  last joining your will to God's. Try to keep the thought clearly in  mind that what you undertake with God must succeed. Then let the
W1:70.1  source of guilt. You see neither guilt nor salvation as in your own  mind and nowhere else. When you realize that all guilt is solely an
W1:70.1  else. When you realize that all guilt is solely an invention of your  mind, you must also realize that guilt and salvation must be in the
W1:70.3  be clear to you why the recognition that guilt is in your own  mind entails the realization that salvation is there as well.
W1:70.4  the remedy for sickness where it cannot help. That is the way your  mind has worked, but hardly His. He wants you to be healed, and so He
W1:71.3  that says, “If this were different, I would be saved.” The change of  mind that is necessary for salvation is thus demanded of everyone and
W1:71.4 The role assigned to your own  mind in this plan, then, is simply to determine what other than
W1:72.2  of this wish. For it is this wish which seems to surround the  mind with a body, keeping it separate and alone and unable to reach
W1:72.9  Your upside-down perception has been ruinous to your peace of  mind. You have seen yourself in a body and the truth outside you,
W1:73.5  light nor darkness can be found without. Grievances darken your  mind, and you look out on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the
W1:73.12  yourself of this and determining to keep your will clearly in  mind, tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet certainty:
W1:74.3  firm determination to understand what they mean and to hold them in  mind:
W1:74.7  sure to deal quickly with any conflict thoughts that may cross your  mind. Tell yourself immediately:
W1:74.11 After you have cleared your  mind in this way, close your eyes and try to experience the peace to
W1:75.7 Dwell not upon the past today. Keep a completely open  mind, washed of all past ideas and clean of every concept you have
W1:76.5 These are not laws, but madness. The body is endangered by the  mind that hurts itself. The body suffers that the mind will fail to
W1:76.5  endangered by the mind that hurts itself. The body suffers that the  mind will fail to see it is the victim of itself. The body's
W1:76.5  see it is the victim of itself. The body's suffering is a mask the  mind holds up to hide what really suffers. It would not understand it
W1:76.10  but God's. Dismiss all foolish magical beliefs today and hold your  mind in silent readiness to hear the Voice that speaks the truth to
W1:78.6 You know the one to choose; his name has crossed your  mind already. He will be the one of whom we ask God's Son be shown to
W1:78.7  today will see him in this role. We will attempt to hold him in our  mind, first as you now consider him. We will review his faults, the
W1:78.10  eyes are closed, and as you think of him who grieved you, let your  mind be shown the light in him beyond your grievances. What you have
W1:R2.2  close your eyes and listen. Repeat the first phase if you find your  mind wandering, but try to spend the major part of the practice
W1:82.2 [63] The light of the world brings peace to every  mind through my forgiveness. My forgiveness is the means by which the
W1:82.4 Let peace extend from my  mind to yours, [name]. I share the light of the world with you,

W1:91.5  are not a body. Faith goes to what you want, and you instruct your  mind accordingly. Your will remains your teacher, and your will has
W1:91.9  of what the Holy Spirit uses to replace the image of a body in your  mind. You need to feel something to put your faith in, as you lift it
W1:92.3  strength in you that is the light in which you see, as it is His  Mind with which you think. His strength denies your weakness. It is
W1:93.17  to you. And you can do much today to bring the conviction to your  mind that the idea for the day is true indeed.
W1:95.4  you are at present. It is difficult at this point not to allow your  mind to wander if it undertakes extended attempts. You have surely
W1:95.4  the extent of your lack of mental discipline and of your need for  mind training. It is necessary that you be aware of this, for it is
W1:95.12  Begin the practice periods today with this assurance, given to your  mind with all the certainty that you can give:
W1:95.14  attempting to allow the meaning of the words to sink into your  mind, replacing false ideas:
W1:95.18  this Self within you and to cast all your illusions out of the One  Mind which is this Self, the holy truth in you.
W1:95.20  hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the truth within his  mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace. Your own
W1:96.1  yourself as two—as both good and evil, loving and hating,  mind and body. This sense of being split into opposites induces
W1:96.4 A  mind and body cannot both exist. Make no attempt to reconcile the
W1:96.4  two, for one denies the other can be real. If you are physical, your  mind is gone from your self-concept, for it has no place in which it
W1:96.5 Spirit makes use of  mind as means to find its Self-expression. And the mind which serves
W1:96.5  makes use of mind as means to find its Self-expression. And the  mind which serves the Spirit is at peace and filled with joy. Its
W1:96.5  from Spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its function here. Yet  mind can also see itself divorced from Spirit and perceive itself
W1:96.6 Yet  mind apart from Spirit cannot think. It has denied its Source of
W1:96.8 Your Self retains its thoughts, and they remain within your  mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy Spirit holds salvation in your
W1:96.8  retains its thoughts, and they remain within your mind and in the  Mind of God. The Holy Spirit holds salvation in your mind and offers
W1:96.8  mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy Spirit holds salvation in your  mind and offers it the way to peace. Salvation is a thought you share
W1:96.9 We will attempt today to find this thought, whose presence in your  mind is guaranteed by Him Who speaks to you from your One Self. Our
W1:96.9  hourly five minute practicing will be a search for Him within your  mind. Salvation comes from this One Self through Him Who is the
W1:96.9  comes from this One Self through Him Who is the bridge between your  mind and it.
W1:96.10  patiently, and let Him speak to you about your Self, and what your  mind can do, restored to it and free to serve its will.
W1:96.14 These are your own real thoughts you have denied, and let your  mind go wandering in a world of dreams, to find illusions in their
W1:96.15  thoughts that come to you will tell you you are saved and that your  mind has found the function that it sought to lose. Your Self will
W1:96.15  to the Spirit in all things created by the Spirit as Itself. Your  mind will bless all things. Confusion done, you are restored, for you
W1:96.16 Your Self knows that you cannot fail today. Perhaps your  mind remains uncertain yet a little while. Be not dismayed by this.
W1:96.16  time you spend five minutes of the hour seeking Him Who joins your  mind and Self, you offer Him another treasure to be kept for you.
W1:96.17 Each time today you tell your frantic  mind salvation comes from your One Self, you lay another treasure in
W1:97.1  this truth today as often as you can, for it will bring your  mind from conflict to the quiet fields of peace. No chill of fear can
W1:97.1  to the quiet fields of peace. No chill of fear can enter, for your  mind has been absolved from madness, letting go illusions of a split
W1:97.2  truth about your Self, the holy Son of God who rests in you whose  mind has been restored to sanity. You are the Spirit lovingly endowed
W1:97.3 Today we try to bring reality still closer to your  mind. Each time you practice, awareness is brought a little nearer at
W1:97.4 You are the Spirit in whose  mind abides the miracle in which all time stands still; the miracle
W1:97.6  where pain and misery appear to rule. He will not overlook one open  mind that will accept the healing gift they bring, and He will lay
W1:97.11  time you speak the words He offers you today, and let Him tell your  mind that they are true.
W1:98.6  not contain. You can exchange a little of your time for peace of  mind and certainty of purpose with the promise of complete success.
W1:98.12  it often, and do not forget each time you do so, you have let your  mind be readied for the happy time to come.
W1:99.3  place at all where earth and Heaven can be reconciled within a  mind where both of them exist? The mind that sees illusions thinks
W1:99.3  Heaven can be reconciled within a mind where both of them exist? The  mind that sees illusions thinks them real. They have existence in
W1:99.3  in that they are thoughts. And yet they are not real because the  mind that thinks these thoughts is separate from God.
W1:99.4 What joins the separated  mind and thoughts with Mind and thought which are forever one? What
W1:99.4 What joins the separated mind and thoughts with  Mind and thought which are forever one? What plan could hold the
W1:99.5  holds this plan of God exactly as it was received of Him within the  Mind of God and in your own. It is apart from time in that its Source
W1:99.9  He has replaced all your mistakes enter the darkened places of your  mind which thought the thoughts that never were His Will.
W1:99.11  shine through them to join them to the rest. It is God's Will your  mind be one with His. It is God's Will that He has but one Son. It is
W1:99.16  the power to remove all forms of doubt and fear forever from your  mind. If you are tempted to believe them true, remember that
W1:99.20 Thus do you lay forgiveness on your  mind and let all fear be gently laid aside that Love may find Its
W1:101.5  never happen, for it has no cause. Accept Atonement with an open  mind which cherishes no lingering belief that you have made a devil
W1:101.9  again to find the joy these thoughts will introduce into your  mind. Give these five minutes gladly to remove the heavy load you
W1:102.1  once secured it tightly to the dark and hidden secret places of your  mind.
W1:102.6 Then seek this function deep within your  mind, for it is there, awaiting but your choice. You cannot fail to
W1:103.1  everywhere. And therefore joy is everywhere as well. Yet can the  mind deny that this is so, believing there are gaps in love where sin
W1:103.6 Allow this one correction to be placed within your  mind each waking hour today. Then welcome all the happiness it
W1:104.1  made ready to receive His gifts. They are not welcomed gladly by a  mind which has instead received the gifts it made where His belong,
W1:104.8  seek for them where He has laid them. This reminder will we bring to  mind as often as we can:
W1:105.9  you prepare yourself to recognize God's gifts to you and let your  mind be free of all that would prevent success today. Now are you
W1:105.10 You must succeed today if you prepare your  mind as we suggest, for you have let all bars to peace and joy be
W1:106.1  you nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an open  mind, which has not told you what salvation is; then you will hear
W1:107.2 Can you imagine what a state of  mind without illusions is? How it would feel? Try to remember when
W1:107.3  a hint, not more than just the faintest intimation of the state your  mind will rest in when the truth has come.
W1:107.4  is no room for transitory thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your  mind. Truth occupies your mind completely, liberating you from all
W1:107.4  thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your mind. Truth occupies your  mind completely, liberating you from all beliefs in the ephemeral.
W1:107.5  They will merely blow away when truth corrects the errors in your  mind.
W1:107.11 Truth will correct all errors in your  mind which tell you you could be apart from Him. You speak to Him
W1:107.12 Truth will correct all errors in my  mind, and I will rest in Him Who is my Self.
W1:107.14  the world will be corrected as you let them be corrected in your  mind.
W1:107.15  tell yourself with confidence, “Truth will correct all errors in my  mind,” you speak for all the world and Him Who would release the
W1:108.2  possible is not the light the body's eyes behold. It is a state of  mind which has become so unified that darkness cannot be perceived at
W1:108.3  has power to heal. This is the light that brings your peace of  mind to other minds, to share it and be glad that they are one with
W1:108.11 To everyone I offer quietness. To everyone I offer peace of  mind. To everyone I offer gentleness.
W1:109.6  into stillness. Let these periods of rest and respite reassure your  mind that all its frantic fantasies were but the dreams of fever that
W1:109.7 Each hour that you take your rest today, a tired  mind is suddenly made glad, a bird with broken wings begins to sing,
W1:109.11  unborn and those passed by, to every Thought of God, and to the  Mind in Which these Thoughts were born and where they rest. And we
W1:110.2  idea is therefore all you need to let complete correction heal your  mind and give you perfect vision which will heal all the mistakes
W1:110.2  give you perfect vision which will heal all the mistakes that any  mind has made at any time or place. It is enough to heal the past and
W1:110.4  are as God created you, then there has been no separation of your  mind from His, no split between your mind and other minds, and only
W1:110.4  has been no separation of your mind from His, no split between your  mind and other minds, and only unity within your own.
W1:110.8 Then, with this statement firmly in your  mind, try to discover in your mind the Self Who is the holy Son of
W1:110.8  with this statement firmly in your mind, try to discover in your  mind the Self Who is the holy Son of God Himself. Seek Him within you
W1:110.9  of God instead of what He is be worshiped not today. Deep in your  mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your acknowledgment as you.
W1:R3.4  for whatever reason should be done as soon as you have changed your  mind about your goal. You are unwilling to cooperate in practicing
W1:R3.5  exercise. And then begin to think about them while letting your  mind relate them to your needs, your seeming problems, and all your
W1:R3.6 Place the ideas within your  mind and let it use them as it chooses. Give it faith that it will
W1:R3.6  Who gave the thoughts to you. What can you trust but what is in your  mind? Have faith in these reviews, the means the Holy Spirit uses
W1:R3.6  the means the Holy Spirit uses will not fail. The wisdom of your  mind will come to your assistance. Give direction at the start, and
W1:R3.6  at the start, and then lean back in quiet faith and let the  mind employ the thoughts you gave as they were given you for it to
W1:R3.7  see their messages and use them for yourself. Offer them to your  mind in that same trust and confidence and faith. It will not fail.
W1:R3.11 Repeat it, and allow your  mind to rest a little time in silence and in peace. Then turn to
W1:111.2  see in darkness. Let the light of holiness and truth light up my  mind And let me see the innocence within.
W1:113.3  One Self. From my One Self, Whose knowledge still remains Within my  mind, I see God's perfect plan For my salvation perfectly fulfilled.
W1:119.2 [107] Truth will correct all errors in my  mind. I am mistaken when I think I can be hurt in any way. I am God's
W1:119.2  be hurt in any way. I am God's Son whose Self rests safely in the  Mind of God.
W1:119.5 Truth will correct all errors in my  mind.
W1:121.2 The unforgiving  mind is full of fear and offers love no room to be itself, no place
W1:121.2  in peace and soar above the turmoil of the world. The unforgiving  mind is sad, without the hope of respite and release from pain. It
W1:121.3 The unforgiving  mind is torn with doubt, confused about itself and all it sees,
W1:121.4 What can the unforgiving  mind perceive but its damnation? What can it behold except the proof
W1:121.4  behold except the proof that all its sins are real? The unforgiving  mind sees no mistakes, but only sins. It looks upon the world with
W1:121.5 The unforgiving  mind is in despair, without the prospect of a future which can offer
W1:121.6 Forgiveness is acquired. It is not inherent in a  mind which cannot sin. As sin was an idea you taught yourself,
W1:121.6  self you think you made and let it disappear. Thus you return your  mind as one to Him Who is your Self and Who can never sin.
W1:121.7 Each unforgiving  mind presents you with an opportunity to teach your own how to
W1:121.7  its hope. And as its hope, do you become your own. The unforgiving  mind must learn through your forgiveness that it has been saved from
W1:121.9 The unforgiving  mind does not believe that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we
W1:121.11 Now close your eyes and see him in your  mind and look at him a while. Try to perceive some light in him
W1:121.12 Look at this changed perception for a while, and turn your  mind to one you call a friend. Try to transfer the light you learned
W1:121.13  role forgiveness plays in bringing happiness to every unforgiving  mind, with yours among them. Every hour tell yourself:
W1:122.1  want peace? Forgiveness offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet  mind, a certainty of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that
W1:122.3  remembrance of your Father can arise across the threshold of your  mind.
W1:122.7  God and not the world. The world can give no gifts of any value to a  mind which has received what God has given as its own. God wills
W1:122.13  slip by and drift into forgetfulness but hold them firmly in your  mind by your attempts to think of them at least a minute as each
W1:123.8  His thanks, and you will understand how lovingly He holds you in His  Mind, how deep and limitless His care for you, how perfect is His
W1:124.2  our minds! And everything we see reflects the holiness within the  mind at one with God and with itself. How easily do errors disappear
W1:124.5  lonely and afraid, who are restored to the tranquility and peace of  mind in which they were created. And we see it in the dying and the
W1:124.9  will you fail to recognize it when it dawns with certainty upon your  mind. This half an hour will be framed in gold, with every minute
W1:124.10  yourself. When you are ready, you will find it there within your  mind and waiting to be found. You will remember then the thought to
W1:125.1  wills you hear His Word today. He calls to you from deep within your  mind where He abides. Hear Him today. No peace is possible until His
W1:125.1  is possible until His Word is heard around the world; until your  mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message which the world must
W1:125.2  save himself, given the Word of God to be his Guide, forever in his  mind and at his side to lead him surely to his Father's house by his
W1:125.4  We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet place within the  mind where He abides forever in the holiness which He created and
W1:125.5 He has not waited until you return your  mind to Him to give His Word to you. He has not hid Himself from you
W1:125.6  Voice awaits your silence, for His Word cannot be heard until your  mind is quiet for a while and meaningless desires have been stilled.
W1:125.6  within you to be called upon today to help make ready your most holy  mind to hear the Voice of its Creator speak.
W1:125.8  of will and purpose, with no separation nor division in the single  Mind of Father and of Son. In quiet listen to your Self today, and
W1:126.6  but a check upon overt attack, without requiring correction in your  mind. It cannot give you peace as you perceive it. It is not a means
W1:126.7  forgiveness, as the means by which it is attained, must heal the  mind that gives, for giving is receiving. What remains as unreceived
W1:126.9  place in your priorities. It is the thought that will release your  mind from every bar to what forgiveness means and let you realize its
W1:126.11  of special value to yourself and all your brothers. Do not let your  mind forget this goal for long, but tell yourself:
W1:126.13 Then spend a quiet moment, opening your  mind to His correction and His Love. And what you hear of Him you
W1:127.3  on all as one. Its meaning lies in oneness. And it must elude the  mind that thinks of it as partial or in part. There is no love but
W1:127.7  today escape from every law in which you now believe. Open your  mind and rest. The world that seems to hold you prisoner can be
W1:127.8  this. And He Himself will place a spark of truth within your  mind wherever you give up a false belief, a dark illusion of your own
W1:127.8  you allow His Voice to teach love's meaning to your clean and open  mind. And He will bless the lesson with His Love.
W1:127.11  you and who came to learn what you must learn. And as he comes to  mind, give him this message from your Self:
W1:128.2  you see a different purpose there. The only purpose worthy of your  mind this world contains is that you pass it by, without delaying to
W1:128.3 Escape today the chains you place upon your  mind when you perceive salvation here. For what you value you make
W1:128.6  and see how far you rise above the world when you release your  mind from chains and let it seek the level where it finds itself at
W1:128.7  on the world will shift by just a little every time you let your  mind escape its chains. The world is not where it belongs. And you
W1:128.7  when you release it from the world. Your Guide is sure. Open your  mind to Him. Be still and rest.
W1:128.8 Protect your  mind throughout the day as well. And when you think you see some
W1:128.8  aspect or an image of the world, refuse to lay this chain upon your  mind and tell yourself with quiet certainty:
W1:129.5  Here is the world that comes to take its place as you unbind your  mind from little things the world sets forth to keep you prisoner
W1:129.10  of darkness. Here is light your eyes cannot behold. And yet your  mind can see it plainly and can understand. A day of grace is given
W1:130.1  believing what you see is really there. No one can see a world his  mind has not accorded value. And no one can fail to look upon what he
W1:131.10  find. Leave foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your  mind to true ideas instead.
W1:131.14 For several minutes watch your  mind and see, although your eyes are closed, the senseless world you
W1:131.14  place where they can enter not. There is a door beneath them in your  mind which you could not completely lock to hide what lies beyond.
W1:132.2 Yet is salvation easily achieved, for anyone is free to change his  mind, and all his thoughts change with it. Now the source of thought
W1:132.2  with it. Now the source of thought has shifted, for to change your  mind means you have changed the source of all ideas you think or ever
W1:132.4  everywhere because you hold the bitter thought of death within your  mind. The world is nothing in itself. Your mind must give it meaning.
W1:132.4  of death within your mind. The world is nothing in itself. Your  mind must give it meaning. And what you behold upon it are your
W1:132.5  you wish, and herein lies your ultimate release. Change but your  mind on what you want to see, and all the world must change
W1:132.6  This central theme is often stated in the text and must be borne in  mind if you would understand the lesson for today. It is not pride
W1:132.6  you made the world you see and that it changes as you change your  mind. But it is pride that argues you have come into a world quite
W1:132.11  To free the world from every kind of pain is but to change your  mind about yourself. There is no world apart from your ideas because
W1:132.11  ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world within your  mind in thought.
W1:132.14  Deny you are a shadow briefly laid upon a dying world. Release your  mind, and you will look upon a world released.
W1:132.18 Then merely rest, alert but with no strain, and let your  mind in quietness be changed so that the world is freed along with
W1:132.20  whenever you are tempted to deny the power of your simple change of  mind:
W1:133.2  do not ask too much of life, but far too little. When you let your  mind be drawn to bodily concerns, to things you buy, to eminence as
W1:133.9  rest. Why is the choice you make of value to you? What attracts your  mind to it? What purpose does it serve? Here it is easiest of all to
W1:134.3  but reflects the hold that the idea of sin retains as yet upon your  mind as you regard yourself.
W1:134.9  are tempted to accuse someone of sin in any form, do not allow your  mind to dwell on what you think he did, for this is self-deception.
W1:134.10  for choice in terms which render choosing meaningful and keep your  mind as free of guilt and pain as God Himself intended it to be and
W1:134.12  He can remove the ponderous and useless armor made to chain his  mind to fear and misery. His step is light, and as he lifts his foot
W1:134.13  as alien to the world as is your own reality. And yet it joins your  mind with the reality in you.
W1:134.17  will direct, and catalogue his “sins,” as one by one they cross your  mind. Be certain not to dwell on any one of them, but realize that
W1:134.19  forget its meaning and attack yourself. When this occurs, allow your  mind to see through this illusion as you tell yourself:
W1:135.7  with the right to serve you thus except your own belief? It is your  mind which gave the body all the functions that you see in it and set
W1:135.8  cannot be too often emphasized. It will be strong and healthy if the  mind does not abuse it by assigning it to roles it cannot fill, to
W1:135.9  and it becomes a healthy, serviceable instrument through which the  mind can operate until its usefulness is over. Who would want to keep
W1:135.10 Defend the body, and you have attacked your  mind. For you have seen in it the faults, the weaknesses, the limits,
W1:135.10  from which you think the body must be saved. You will not see the  mind as separate from bodily conditions. And you will impose upon the
W1:135.10  upon the body all the pain that comes from the conception of the  mind as limited and fragile, and apart from other minds and separate
W1:135.11  which it gains no benefit at all but merely adds to your distress of  mind. You do not heal but merely take away the hope of healing, for
W1:135.12 A healed  mind does not plan. It carries out the plans which it receives
W1:135.13 A healed  mind is relieved from the belief that it must plan, although it
W1:135.14 Enslavement of the body to the plans the unhealed  mind sets up to save itself must make the body sick. It is not free
W1:135.14  little while. In this capacity is health assured. For everything the  mind employs for this will function flawlessly and with the strength
W1:135.15  them were made to realize. They are the means by which a frightened  mind would undertake its own protection at the cost of truth. This is
W1:135.16 The  mind engaged in planning for itself is occupied in setting up control
W1:135.16  for it rests on the idea the past has taught enough to let the  mind direct its future course.
W1:135.17 The  mind that plans is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has
W1:136.4  to be external to your own intent—a happening beyond your state of  mind, an outcome with a real effect on you instead of one effected by
W1:136.8  a plan you lay when for an instant truth arises in your own deluded  mind and all your world appears to totter and prepare to fall. Now
W1:136.15  can remain where it has been allowed to enter. And it comes to any  mind that would lay down its arms and cease to play with folly. It is
W1:136.17  against the truth. I will accept the truth of what I am and let my  mind be wholly healed today.
W1:136.18 Healing will flash across your open  mind as peace and truth arise to take the place of war and vain
W1:136.18  pursuits with double purposes insanely sought, remaining in your  mind. It will be healed of all the sickly wishes that it tried to
W1:136.19  or feeling well, of pain or pleasure. No response at all is in the  mind to what the body does. Its usefulness remains and nothing more.
W1:136.21  needs to be preserved by careful watching. If you let your  mind harbor attack thoughts, yield to judgment, or make plans against
W1:136.21  and made a bodily identity which will attack the body, for the  mind is sick. Give instant remedy should this occur by not allowing
W1:136.22  Sickness is a defense against the truth, but I am not a body. And my  mind cannot attack. So I cannot be sick.
W1:137.2  gives the body final power to make the separation real and keep the  mind in solitary prison, split apart and held in pieces by a solid
W1:137.6  is real. The body seems to be more solid and more stable than the  mind. And love becomes a dream, while fear remains the one reality
W1:137.10  yourself be healed, you see all those around you or who cross your  mind or whom you touch or those who seem to have no contact with you
W1:137.11  is opposed to God does not exist. And who accepts it not within his  mind becomes a haven where the weary can remain to rest. For here is
W1:137.15  my healing with the world, that sickness may be banished from the  mind of God's one Son, Who is my only Self.
W1:138.8  beliefs can gain unconscious hold of great intensity and grip the  mind with terror and anxiety so strong that it will not relinquish
W1:138.9  this time with Heaven's help, and all mistakes in judgment which the  mind had made before are open to correction as the truth dismisses
W1:138.13  is the decision I must make. I make it now and will not change my  mind, because it is the only thing I want.
W1:139.5  Your denial made no change in what you are. But you have split your  mind into what knows and does not know the truth. You are yourself.
W1:139.7  of you, for what you are is certain. It is set forever in the holy  Mind of God and in your own. It is so far beyond all doubt and
W1:139.12  dear our brothers are to us in truth, how much a part of us is every  mind, how faithful they have really been to us, and how our Father's
W1:139.13  would distract us from our holy aim. For several minutes let your  mind be cleared of all the foolish cobwebs which the world would
W1:140.1  is but what will make the body “better.” When it tries to heal the  mind, it sees no separation from the body, where it thinks the mind
W1:140.1  the mind, it sees no separation from the body, where it thinks the  mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must substitute illusion for
W1:140.2  to make him well. Yet he has not awakened from the dream, and so his  mind remains exactly as it was before. He has not seen the light that
W1:140.3  one can merely dream he is awake. The dreams forgiveness lets the  mind perceive do not induce another form of sleep, so that the
W1:140.3  dream. His happy dreams are heralds of the dawn of truth upon the  mind. They lead from sleep to gentle waking, so that dreams are gone.
W1:140.4 Atonement heals with certainty and cures all sickness. For the  mind which understands that sickness can be nothing but a dream is
W1:140.7  remedy the world provides that can effect a change in anything. The  mind that brings illusions to the truth is really changed. There is
W1:R4.3 My  mind holds only what I think with God.
W1:R4.4  this thought which fully guarantees salvation to the Son. For in his  mind no thoughts can dwell but those his Father shares. Lack of
W1:R4.6 And yet your  mind holds only what you think with God. Your self-deceptions cannot
W1:R4.7 Begin each day with time devoted to the preparation of your  mind to learn what each idea you will review that day can offer you
W1:R4.7  review that day can offer you in freedom and in peace. Open your  mind and clear it of all thoughts that would deceive, and let this
W1:R4.8 My  mind holds only what I think with God.
W1:R4.9  to set the day along the lines which God appointed and to place His  Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that day. They
W1:R4.11 Each hour of the day bring to your  mind the thought with which the day began and spend a quiet moment
W1:R4.12  you who practice thus the keeping of His Word. And as you give your  mind to the ideas for the day again before you sleep, His gratitude
W1:151.9  you are, for He bears witness to your beautiful creation and the  Mind Whose thought created your reality. What can the body mean to
W1:151.13  of truth in them. Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to  mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them back to you as
W1:151.14  each thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing power from the  Mind Which saw the truth in it and failed to be deceived by what was
W1:151.15  will share the thoughts with you which He has retranslated in your  mind.
W1:152.2  be part of peace, or grief of joy? Can fear and sickness enter in a  mind where love and perfect holiness abide? Truth must be
W1:152.5  all shifts in feeling, alterations in conditions of the body and the  mind, in all awareness, and in all response. This is the
W1:152.6  sinful and the guilty, the afraid, the suffering and lonely, and the  mind that lives within a body that must die? You but accuse Him of
W1:153.1  illusory deceptions. It attacks and then attacks again. No peace of  mind is possible where danger threatens thus.
W1:153.2  there is treachery without and still a greater treachery within. The  mind is now confused and knows not where to turn to find escape from
W1:153.3  attack, become the circles of the hours and the days that bind the  mind in heavy bands of steel with iron overlaid, returning but to
W1:153.3  nor ending in the ever-tightening grip of imprisonment upon the  mind.
W1:153.18  for you will know that Heaven goes with you. Nor would you keep your  mind away from Him a moment, even though your time is spent in
W1:153.20  will now begin to take the earnestness of love to help you keep your  mind from wandering from its intent.
W1:154.4  which promises salvation from all sin, with guilt abolished in the  mind that God created sinless. Now this mind becomes aware again of
W1:154.4  with guilt abolished in the mind that God created sinless. Now this  mind becomes aware again of Who created it and of His lasting union
W1:156.9 I walk with God in perfect holiness. I light the world, I light my  mind and all the minds which God created one with me.
W1:157.4  must be given you. Nothing is needed but today's idea to light your  mind and let it rest in still anticipation and in quiet joy wherein
W1:157.5  who thinks of you. For your experience today will so transform your  mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy thoughts of God.
W1:158.1 What has been given you? The knowledge that you are a  mind, in Mind and purely mind, sinless forever, wholly unafraid
W1:158.1 What has been given you? The knowledge that you are a mind, in  Mind and purely mind, sinless forever, wholly unafraid because you
W1:158.1  given you? The knowledge that you are a mind, in Mind and purely  mind, sinless forever, wholly unafraid because you were created out
W1:158.2  that the Father and the Son are one will come in time to every  mind. Yet is that time determined by the mind itself, not taught.
W1:158.2  will come in time to every mind. Yet is that time determined by the  mind itself, not taught.
W1:158.5  Yet there is a vision which the Holy Spirit sees because the  mind of Christ beholds it too.
W1:159.2  are given you. Receive them now by opening the storehouse of your  mind where they are laid and giving them away.
W1:161.2 Complete abstraction is the natural condition of the  mind. But part of it is now unnatural. It does not look on everything
W1:161.2  is to show you what you wish to see. All hearing but brings to your  mind the sounds it wants to hear.
W1:161.4 One brother is all brothers. Every  mind contains all minds, for every mind is one. Such is the truth.
W1:161.4 One brother is all brothers. Every mind contains all minds, for every  mind is one. Such is the truth. Yet do these thoughts make clear the
W1:161.4  sentiment, yet fundamentally not understood nor understandable. The  mind that taught itself to think specifically can no longer grasp
W1:161.6  see. The body is the target for attack, for no one thinks he hates a  mind. Yet what but mind directs the body to attack? What else could
W1:161.6  target for attack, for no one thinks he hates a mind. Yet what but  mind directs the body to attack? What else could be the seat of fear
W1:162.1 This single thought, held firmly in the  mind, would save the world. From time to time we will repeat it, as
W1:162.3  is he who makes these words his own—arising with them in his  mind, recalling them throughout the day, at night bringing them with
W1:162.4  mighty, and they need no thoughts beyond themselves to change the  mind of him who uses them. So wholly is it changed that it is now the
W1:162.4  with God. Christ's vision has restored your sight by salvaging your  mind.
W1:164.8  treasures put away and leave a clean and open space within your  mind where Christ can come and offer you the treasure of salvation.
W1:164.8  offer you the treasure of salvation. He has need of your most holy  mind to save the world.
W1:165.2  makes soft your resting place and smooth your way, lighting your  mind with happiness and love. Eternity and everlasting life shine in
W1:165.2  with happiness and love. Eternity and everlasting life shine in your  mind because the Thought of God has left you not and still abides
W1:165.3  deny his safety and his peace, his joy, his healing and his peace of  mind, his quiet rest, his calm awakening if he but recognized where
W1:165.4  asking. Nor need you perceive how great the gift, how changed your  mind will be before it comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given
W1:165.5  have exchanged your blindness for the seeing eyes of Christ; your  mind has come to lay aside denial and accept the Thought of God as
W1:165.6  made certain, and salvation given you. Now is Christ's power in your  mind to heal as you were healed. For now you are among the saviors of
W1:166.2  opposite effects from those He wills. Impossible indeed, but every  mind that looks upon the world and judges it as certain, solid,
W1:166.14  Your hand becomes the giver of Christ's touch; your change of  mind becomes the proof that who accepts God's gifts can never suffer
W1:166.15  gifts to you. Be witness in your happiness to how transformed the  mind becomes which chooses to accept His gifts and feel the touch of
W1:167.3  an idea, irrelevant to what is seen as physical. A thought is in the  mind. It can be then applied as mind directs it. But its origin is
W1:167.3  as physical. A thought is in the mind. It can be then applied as  mind directs it. But its origin is where it must be changed if change
W1:167.3  on that idea is due to its centrality in our attempts to change your  mind about yourself. It is the reason you can heal. It is the cause
W1:167.6 The  mind can think it sleeps, but that is all. It cannot change what is
W1:167.6  It cannot make a body nor abide within a body. What is alien to the  mind does not exist because it has no source. For mind creates all
W1:167.6  is alien to the mind does not exist because it has no source. For  mind creates all things that are and cannot give them attributes it
W1:167.6  It cannot make the physical. What seems to die is but the sign of  mind asleep.
W1:167.7  truth. Its form may change; it may appear to be what it is not. Yet  mind is mind, awake or sleeping. It is not its opposite in anything

W1:167.8 God creates only  mind awake. He does not sleep, and His creations cannot share what He
W1:167.9 What seems to be the opposite of life is merely sleeping. When the  mind elects to be what it is not and to assume an alien power which
W1:167.9  wrought are substanceless, and all events are nowhere. When the  mind awakes, it but continues as it always was.

W1:168.1  When his mind remains asleep, He loves him still. And when his  mind awakes, He loves him with a never-changing Love.
W1:168.2  is yours by your acknowledgment. And memory of Him awakens in the  mind which asks the means of Him whereby its sleep is done.
W1:168.3  is more than just an answer. It restores all memories the sleeping  mind forgot; all certainty of what love's meaning is.

W1:169.3  course aspires to attain. Yet we prepare for grace in that an open  mind can hear the call to waken. It is not shut tight against God's
W1:169.4  and the Son as one has been already set. But we have also said the  mind determines when that time will be and has determined it. And yet

W1:169.6  speak nor write nor even think of this at all. It comes to every  mind when total recognition that its will is God's has been

W1:169.7  brings with it the experiences which bear witness that the time the  mind itself determined to abandon all but this is now at hand. We do

W1:169.8  a journey that is done. For oneness must be here. Whatever time the  mind has set for revelation is entirely irrelevant to what must be a
W1:170.4  thought at war with you, depriving you of peace, splitting your  mind into two camps which seem wholly irreconcilable. For love now
W1:170.5  conceived of it. Yet you attack outside yourself and separate your  mind from him who is to be attacked with perfect faith the split you

W1:178.2 [165] Let not my  mind deny the thought of God. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:182.1  world you seem to live in is not home to you. And somewhere in your  mind you know that this is true. A memory of home keeps haunting you,
W1:182.1  times hardly remembered, actively dismissed, but surely to return to  mind again.
W1:182.3  he seeks. A thousand homes he makes, yet none contents his restless  mind. He does not understand he builds in vain. The home he seeks
W1:182.8  from you, when valueless ideas cease to have value in your restless  mind, then will you hear His Voice. So poignantly He calls to you
W1:183.2  cannot be heard without response, nor said without an echo in the  mind which calls you to remember. Say His Name, and you invite the
W1:183.9  and let His Name become the all-encompassing idea which holds your  mind completely. Let all thoughts be still except this one. And to
W1:184.3  of things un-unified, of bodies kept apart and holding bits of  mind as separate awarenesses? You gave these names to them,

W1:185.8 Today devote your practice periods to careful searching of your  mind to find the dreams you cherish still. What do you ask for in
W1:185.14  uniting our desires with the need of every heart, the call of every  mind, the hope that lies beyond despair, the love attack would hide,
W1:186.1  the statement that will one day take all arrogance away from every  mind. Here is the thought of true humility which holds no function as
W1:186.9  appears to make have no effect on what he is. They blow across his  mind like windswept leaves that form a patterning an instant, break
W1:186.10 These unsubstantial images will go and leave your  mind unclouded and serene when you accept the function given you. The
W1:187.2  proof that when you give ideas away, you strengthen them in your own  mind. Perhaps the form in which the thought seems to appear is
W1:188.4 The shining in your  mind reminds the world of what it has forgotten, and the world
W1:188.7  they must remain with you as well, for they were born within your  mind as yours was born in God's. They lead you back to peace from
W1:189.5  you see? The choice is given you. But learn and do not let your  mind forget this law of seeing: you will look upon that which you
W1:189.7  about the world, all images you hold about yourself. Empty your  mind of everything it thinks is either true or false or good or bad,
W1:190.5  is your thoughts alone that cause you pain. Nothing external to your  mind can hurt or injure you in any way. There is no cause beyond
W1:190.6  thoughts. And it will change entirely as you elect to change your  mind and choose the joy of God as what you really want. Your Self is
W1:190.6  forever and forever. And would you deny a little corner of your  mind its own inheritance and keep it as a hospital for pain, a sickly
W1:190.8  is the thought of evil taking form and working havoc in your holy  mind. Pain is the ransom you have gladly paid not to be free. In pain
W1:192.5  learning is complete, but hardly changing him who learns at all. The  mind without the body cannot make mistakes. It cannot think that it
W1:192.6 Only forgiveness can relieve the  mind of thinking that the body is its home. Only forgiveness can
W1:192.6  was asked, and only pain was lifted from a sick and tortured  mind.
W1:193.3  perceive what form this law should take, to be received by every  mind which had forgotten it as it exists in Heaven and in God. Thus
W1:193.4  God created to replace the foolish thoughts which crept into the  mind of His most holy Son with peace and joy fulfills His function
W1:193.9  no more. These are the words which end the dream of sin and rid the  mind of fear. These are the words by which salvation comes to all the
W1:193.11  is not learned. And there remains an unforgiveness hiding in the  mind which sees the pain through eyes the mind directs.
W1:193.11  hiding in the mind which sees the pain through eyes the  mind directs.
W1:194.6  make it be a part of you. As it becomes a thought which rules your  mind, a habit in your problem-solving repertoire, a way of quick
W1:194.7  He is free to choose again when he has been deceived, to change his  mind when he has made mistakes.
W1:196.3 Thus do you also teach your  mind that you are not an ego. For the ways in which the ego would
W1:196.4  shows us, taking every step in its appointed sequence as the  mind relinquishes its burdens one by one. It is not time we need for
W1:196.8  Whom you had thought to banish, can be welcomed back within the holy  mind He never left.
W1:196.10 There is an instant in which terror seems to grip your  mind so wholly that escape appears quite hopeless. When you realize
W1:196.10  When you realize once and for all that it is you you fear, the  mind perceives itself as split. And this had been concealed while you
W1:196.12  as you should, for it is your release. It is indeed but you your  mind can try to crucify. Yet your redemption, too, will come from you.
W1:197.1 Here is the second step we take to free your  mind from the belief in outside force pitted against your own. You
W1:197.4 It does not matter if another thinks your gifts unworthy. In his  mind there is a part that joins with yours in thanking you. It does
W1:198.9  to make its home with you. The truth bestows these words upon your  mind that you may find the key to light and let the darkness end:
W1:198.13  everything you ever thought you made completely vanished from the  mind which God forever knows to be His only Son.
W1:199.1  for freedom in a body looks for it where it cannot be found. The  mind can be made free when it no longer sees itself as in a body,
W1:199.1  to it and sheltered by its presence. If this were the truth, the  mind were vulnerable indeed!
W1:199.2 The  mind that serves the Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways,
W1:199.2  to do whatever it is asked. Attack thoughts cannot enter such a  mind because it has been given to the Source of Love. And fear can
W1:199.2  has been given to the Source of Love. And fear can never enter in a  mind that has attached itself to Love. It rests in God, and who can
W1:199.4  sees. For this, the body will appear as useful form for what the  mind must do. It thus becomes a vehicle which helps forgiveness be
W1:199.6  an undivided goal. In conflict-free and unequivocal response to  mind with but the thought of freedom as its goal, the body serves,
W1:199.6  power to enslave, it is a worthy servant of the freedom which the  mind within the Holy Spirit seeks.
W1:199.7  replace their fears through you. Accept salvation now, and give your  mind to Him Who calls to you to make this gift to Him. For He would
W1:199.8  Son. In immortality you live forever. Would you not return your  mind to this? Then practice well the thought the Holy Spirit gives
W1:199.9  free. I hear the Voice that God has given me, and it is only this my  mind obeys.
W1:200.5  where you beheld but chains and iron doors. For you must change your  mind about the purpose of the world if you would find escape. You
W1:200.10  at last, and you can feel its soft embrace surround your heart and  mind with comfort and with love.
W1:R6.2 With this in  mind, we start our practicing in which we carefully review the
W1:R6.5  except a deep relinquishment of everything that clutters up the  mind and makes it deaf to reason, sanity, and simple truth.
W1:R6.7  If you notice one, deny its hold and hasten to assure your  mind that this is not what it would have. Then gently let the thought
W1:219.1 [199] I am not a body. I am free. I am God's Son. Be still, my  mind, and think a moment upon this. And then return to earth without
W2:WF.2  that it will not raise to doubt, although it is not true. The  mind is closed and will not be released. The thought protects
W2:221.1  I come in silence. In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses of my  mind, I wait and listen for Your Voice. My Father, speak to me today.
W2:225.1  must return it, for I want it mine in full awareness, blazing in my  mind, and keeping it within its kindly light, inviolate—beloved,
W2:226.1  It is not death which makes this possible, but it is change of  mind about the purpose of the world. If I believe it has a value as I
W2:227.1  them down before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my  mind. This is my holy instant of release. Father, I know my will is
W2:227.2  home again, released from sin and clad in holiness, with his right  mind restored to him at last.
W2:229.2  and sinless in the midst of all the thoughts of sin my foolish  mind made up. And thanks to You for saving me from them. Amen.
W2:230.2  beyond all change. The peace in which Your Son was born into Your  Mind is shining there unchanged. I am as You created me. I need but
W2:WS.1  have been born in time will end as well. God's Word is given every  mind which thinks that it has separate thoughts and will replace
W2:WS.2 The thought of peace was given to God's Son the instant that his  mind had thought of war. There was no need for such a thought before,
W2:WS.2  for peace was given without opposite and merely was. But when the  mind is split, there is a need of healing. So the thought which has
W2:WS.2  the power to heal the split became a part of every fragment of the  mind that still was one but failed to recognize its oneness. Now it
W2:232.1 Be in my  mind, my Father, when I wake and shine on me throughout the day
W2:235.1  from this,” and merely watch them disappear. I need but keep in  mind my Father's Will for me is only happiness to find that only
W2:236.1  it has been given me to serve whatever purpose I perceive in it. My  mind can only serve. Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit to
W2:236.1  to the Holy Spirit to employ as He sees fit. I thus direct my  mind, which I alone can rule. And thus I set it free to do the Will
W2:236.2 Father, my  mind is open to Your thoughts and closed today to every thought but
W2:236.2  Your thoughts and closed today to every thought but Yours. I rule my  mind and offer it to You. Accept my gift, for it is Yours to me.
W2:246.1  and still believe that my awareness can contain my Father, or my  mind conceive of all the love my Father has for me and all the love
W2:248.1  What grieves is not myself. What is in pain is but illusion in my  mind. What dies was never living in reality and did but mock the
W2:WIS.1 Sin is insanity. It is the means by which the  mind is driven mad and seeks to let illusions take the place of
W2:WIS.2 The body is the instrument the  mind made in its striving to deceive itself. Its purpose is to
W2:WIS.2  aim for striving. What it seeks for now is chosen by the aim the  mind has taken as replacement for the goal of self-deception. Truth
W2:255.2  Son has not forgotten You. The peace You gave him still is in his  mind, and it is there I choose to spend today.
W2:256.1  here. There is no other way. If sin had not been cherished by the  mind, what need would there have been to find a way to where you are?
W2:WIB.2  of God's impermanence is “proof” his fences work and do the task his  mind assigns to them. For if his oneness still remained untouched,
W2:WIB.4  the road with him. Now is the body holy. Now it serves to heal the  mind that it was made to kill.
W2:263.1 Father, Your  Mind created all that is; Your Spirit entered into it; Your Love gave
W2:265.1  was I to think that what I feared was in the world instead of in my  mind alone. Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with
W2:265.1  of Heaven, shining on the world. What is reflected here is in God's  Mind. The images I see reflect my thoughts. Yet is my mind at one
W2:265.1  is in God's Mind. The images I see reflect my thoughts. Yet is my  mind at one with God's. And so I can perceive creation's gentleness.
W2:267.1  my heart and floods my body with the purpose of forgiveness. Now my  mind is healed, and all I need to save the world is given me. Each
W2:WIC.1  with God as well. He is the Thought Which still abides within the  Mind That is His Source. He has not left His holy home nor lost the
W2:WIC.1  in which He was created. He abides unchanged forever in the  Mind of God.
W2:WIC.2  an illusion of despair. For hope forever will abide in Him. Your  mind is part of His and His of yours. He is the part in which God's
W2:WIC.3  alone, does Christ remain at peace within the Heaven of your holy  mind. This is the only part of you that has reality in truth. The
W2:278.2  myself and my creation and have brought a dream of fear into my  mind. Today I would not dream. I choose the way to You instead of
W2:280.1  in illusions, not in truth. No Thought of God has left its Father's  Mind. No Thought of God is limited at all. No Thought of God but is
W2:WIHS.3  to Him, He will employ the means you made for exile to restore your  mind to where it truly is at home.
W2:WIHS.4  rest upon your dreams and be restored to sanity and peace of  mind. Without forgiveness will your dreams remain to terrify you. And
W2:286.1  find already given me. Your peace is mine. My heart is quiet and my  mind at rest. Your Love is Heaven, and Your Love is mine.
W2:289.1 Unless the past is over in my  mind, the real world must escape my sight. For I am really looking
W2:290.1  made is frightening and painful to behold. Yet I would not allow my  mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant
W2:WIRW.1  seen through eyes of fear and brings the witnesses of terror to your  mind. The real world cannot be perceived except through eyes
W2:WIRW.2  world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a  mind at peace. Nothing but rest is there. There are no cries of pain
W2:WIRW.2  the sights are gentle. Only happy sights and sounds can reach the  mind that has forgiven itself.
W2:WIRW.3 What need has such a  mind for thoughts of death, attack, and murder? What can it perceive
W2:WIRW.3  there that it would judge against? The world it sees arises from a  mind at peace within itself. No danger lurks in anything it sees, for
W2:291.2 This day my  mind is quiet to receive the thoughts You offer me. And I accept what
W2:295.1  thus redeem the world. He asks this gift that He may offer peace of  mind to me and take away all terror and all pain. And as they are
W2:304.1  is a mirror, not a fact. And what I look on is my state of  mind reflected outward. I would bless the world by looking on it
W2:WILJ.1  which has accepted this as true, projected from a now corrected  mind. And with this holy sight, perception gives a silent blessing
W2:311.1  judgments you have made against yourself and re-establish peace of  mind by giving you God's Judgment of His Son.
W2:311.2 Father, we wait with open  mind today to hear Your Judgment of the Son You love. We do not know
W2:315.1  is gladdened. Someone speaks a word of gratitude or mercy, and my  mind perceives this gift and takes it as its own. And everyone who
W2:316.1  Each one allows a past mistake to go and leave no shadow on the holy  mind my Father loves. His grace is given me in every gift a brother
W2:320.1  His holy will can never be denied because his Father shines upon his  mind and lays before it all the strength and love in earth and
W2:322.2  I anticipate except the loss of fear and the return of Love into my  mind?
W2:325.1 This is salvation's keynote: What I see reflects a process in my  mind which starts with my idea of what I want. From there, the mind
W2:325.1  in my mind which starts with my idea of what I want. From there, the  mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires, judges
W2:325.1  what I want. From there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the  mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find. These
W2:326.1 Father, I was created in Your  Mind, a holy thought that never left its home. I am forever Your
W2:330.1  power and His love and bids them take what is already theirs? The  mind that is made willing to accept God's gifts has been restored to
W2:332.1  Truth never makes attack. It merely is. And by its presence is the  mind recalled from fantasies, awaking to the Real. Forgiveness bids
W2:332.1  bids this presence enter in and take its rightful place within the  mind. Without forgiveness is the mind in chains, believing in its own
W2:332.1  take its rightful place within the mind. Without forgiveness is the  mind in chains, believing in its own futility. Yet with forgiveness

W2:334.2  then can be his solace but what You are offering to his bewildered  mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and bring him peace?
W2:336.1  and opens the hidden altar to the truth. Its lilies shine into the  mind and call it to return and look within, to find what it has
W2:336.1  it has vainly sought without. For here and only here is peace of  mind restored, for this the dwelling-place of God Himself.
W2:336.2  of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains unchanged within my  mind; Your love is still abiding in my heart.
W2:WIM.1  really change at all. It merely looks on devastation and reminds the  mind that what it sees is false. It undoes error but does not attempt
W2:WIM.4 The miracle is taken first on faith because to ask for it implies the  mind has been made ready to conceive of what it cannot see and does
W2:347.1  my will and do not want what is my will to have. Straighten my  mind, my Father. It is sick. But You have offered freedom, and I
W2:361.1  will He also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open  mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by
W2:E.3  your efforts, telling you exactly what to do, how to direct your  mind, and when to come to Him in silence, asking for His sure

M:4.12 The peace of  mind which the advanced teachers of God experience is largely due to

M:5.4  approach, it is a decision. And if it is a decision, it is the  mind and not the body that makes it. The resistance to recognizing

M:5.8 If the patient must change his  mind in order to be healed, what does the teacher of God do? Can he
M:5.8  healed, what does the teacher of God do? Can he change the patient's  mind for him? Certainly not. For those already willing to change
M:5.8  for him? Certainly not. For those already willing to change their  mind he has no function except to rejoice with them, for they have
M:6.1  The teacher of God has seen the correction of his errors in the  mind of the patient, recognizing it for what it is. Having accepted

M:6.4  Healing is the change of mind that the Holy Spirit in the patient's  mind is seeking for him. And it is the Holy Spirit in the mind of the
M:6.4  patient's mind is seeking for him. And it is the Holy Spirit in the  mind of the giver Who gives the gift to Him. How can it be lost ? How
M:7.1  is to limit the healing. It is now the teacher of God himself whose  mind needs to be healed. And it is this he must facilitate. He is now
M:7.1  himself. He has made a mistake and must be willing to change his  mind about it. He lacked the trust that makes for giving truly, and
M:7.6  confusion in identity. Conflict about what you are has entered your  mind, and you have become deceived about yourself. And you are
M:8.2  as of major importance but is recognized as being untrue. The  mind therefore seeks to make it true out of its intensity of desire
M:8.2  attempts to bring truth to lies. Finding truth unacceptable, the  mind revolts against truth and gives itself an illusion of victory.

M:8.6 The body's eyes will continue to see differences, but the  mind which has let itself be healed will no longer acknowledge them.
M:8.6  body's eyes will report their changed appearances as before. But the  mind will put them all in one category—they are unreal. This is the

M:12.2  reflects only the Love of God. God can no longer be feared, for the  mind sees no cause for punishment. God's teachers appear to be many,
M:12.4  speak through it to human ears. And these ears will carry to the  mind of the hearer messages which are not of this world, and the mind
M:12.4  the mind of the hearer messages which are not of this world, and the  mind will understand because of their Source. From this understanding
M:12.5  When its usefulness is done, it is laid by, and that is all. The  mind makes this decision, as it makes all decisions which are

M:13.3 Once this confusion has occurred, it becomes impossible for the  mind to understand that all the “pleasures” of the world are nothing.
M:13.3 —and it is sacrifice indeed—all this entails! Now has the  mind condemned itself to seek without finding, to be forever
M:13.4  hope of Heaven and remembrance of his Father's Love. Who in his sane  mind chooses nothing as a substitute for everything?
M:16.5  going to sleep is a desirable time to devote to God. It sets your  mind into a pattern of rest and orients you away from fear. If it is

Tx:11.86  suffering, and they learn of sorrow and separation and death. Their  minds are trapped in their brain, and its powers decline if their

Tx:13.39 You whose  minds are darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the
Tx:13.42  Communication Link which God Himself placed within you, joining your  minds with His, cannot be broken. You may believe you want it broken,
Tx:13.56  in the end the only one. Simplicity is very difficult for twisted  minds. Consider all the distortions you have made of nothing—all
Tx:14.12  and union. Stand quietly within this circle and attract all tortured  minds to join with you in the safety of its peace and holiness. Abide
Tx:14.35 Let your  minds wander not through darkened corridors, away from light's
Tx:14.46  forever. The reflections which you accept into the mirror of your  minds in time but bring eternity nearer or farther. But eternity
Tx:14.49  patterns of light and darkness sweep constantly across your  minds.
Tx:14.50  would be possible. Yet though the order which you impose upon your  minds limits the ego, it also limits you. To order is to judge and to
Tx:14.63  not yours. Unless all this is true, there are dark lessons in your  minds which hurt and hinder you and everyone around you. The absence

Tx:15.63  us that peace will come. Join me in the idea of peace, for in ideas  minds can communicate. If you would give yourself as your Father
Tx:15.75  be abandoned. And yet you do believe it. For you think that your  minds must be kept private or you will lose them, and if your bodies
Tx:15.75  private or you will lose them, and if your bodies are together your  minds remain your own. The union of bodies thus becomes the way in
Tx:15.75  The union of bodies thus becomes the way in which you would keep  minds apart. For bodies cannot forgive. They can only do as the mind
Tx:15.88  His body cannot give it. And seek it not through yours. Yet your  minds are already continuous, and their union need only be accepted,
Tx:15.107 In the holy instant, the condition of love is met, for  minds are joined without the body's interference, and where there is
Tx:16.12  miracle cannot seem natural because what you have done to hurt your  minds has made them so unnatural that they do not remember what is

Tx:16.65  actual transition is far shorter than the time it took to fix your  minds so firmly on illusions. Delay will hurt you now more than

W1:127.6 Today we practice making free our  minds of all the laws you think you must obey, of all the limits
W1:128.5  and its phases and its dreams. We hold it purposeless within our  minds and loosen it from all we wish it were. Thus do we lift the

W1:131.8  own existence and attacks itself is not of Him. He did not make two  minds, with Heaven as the glad effect of one and earth the other's

W1:135.10  conception of the mind as limited and fragile, and apart from other  minds and separate from its Source.
W1:135.22  is all that is required for the truth to dawn upon our  minds with certainty.

W1:137.13 We will remember, as the hour strikes, our function is to let our  minds be healed that we may carry healing to the world, exchanging
W1:139.8  which denies itself in statement? Let us not allow our holy  minds to occupy themselves with senseless musings such as this. We
W1:139.10  minutes in the morning and at night we will devote to dedicate our  minds to our assignment for today. We start with this review of what
W1:139.12  like Him. We can remember it for everyone, for in creation are all  minds as one and in our memory is the recall how dear our brothers
W1:140.8 Today we seek to change our  minds about the source of sickness, for we seek a cure for all
W1:140.8  We will try today to find the source of healing, which is in our  minds because our Father placed it there for us. It is not further
W1:140.12  in our hands to which we cling, with lifted hearts and listening  minds we pray:
W1:140.14  protection and with peace so deep that no illusion can disturb our  minds nor offer proof to us that it is real. This will we learn
W1:R4.6  So do we start each practice period in this review with readying our  minds to understand the lessons that we read and see the meaning
W1:151.16  and joyfully released from guilt. Now do we lift our resurrected  minds in gladness and in gratitude to Him Who has restored our sanity
W1:152.12  spend five minutes practicing its ways, encouraging our frightened  minds with this:
W1:153.8  by because a senseless fragment of a dream happened to cross our  minds, and we mistook the figures in it for the Son of God, its tiny
W1:153.13  quaint and childish thoughts of sin forever from the pure and holy  minds of Heaven's children and the Son of God. We pause but for a
W1:154.10  that we undertake to recognize today. We will not seek to keep our  minds apart from Him Who speaks for us, for it is but our voice we
W1:154.15 The world recedes as we light up our  minds and realize these holy words are true. They are the message
W1:154.15  today from our Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed our  minds about ourselves and what our function is. For as we prove that
W1:155.6  of nor illusion which you bring their eyes to look on and their  minds to grasp. Now can the truth, which walks ahead of you, speak to
W1:156.9  in perfect holiness. I light the world, I light my mind and all the  minds which God created one with me.
W1:161.4 One brother is all brothers. Every mind contains all  minds, for every mind is one. Such is the truth. Yet do these
W1:161.6 Bodies attack but  minds do not. This thought is surely reminiscent of our text, where
W1:165.7  every fear. The thought of Him is still beyond all dreams and in our  minds according to His Will.
W1:167.12  from Which perfection comes to us, remaining always in the holy  minds which He created perfect. As we were, so are we now and will
W1:169.2  state so opposite to everything the world contains that those whose  minds are lighted by the gift of grace cannot believe the world of
W1:169.7  and complete. He recognized all that time holds and gave it to all  minds that each one might determine from a point where time has ended
W1:R5.2 Steady our feet, our Father; let our doubts be quiet and our holy  minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to give to You. We
W1:R5.14  we surround with it and use the thoughts to hold it up before our  minds and keep it clear in our remembrance throughout the day. And
W1:181.3  great need to let our sinlessness become apparent. We instruct our  minds that it is this we seek and only this, for just a little while.
W1:181.6  such blocks arise, we will transcend them with instructions to our  minds to change their focus, as we say:
W1:181.10  without Its sinlessness. We seek for this remembrance as we turn our  minds to practicing today. We look neither ahead nor backwards. We
W1:183.6  in silence and repeat God's Name along with him within your quiet  minds, you have established there an altar which reaches to God
W1:183.7  our only thought, our only word, the only thing that occupies our  minds, the only wish we have, the only sound with any meaning, and
W1:184.12  the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is to let our  minds accept what He has given as the answer to the pitiful
W1:185.3 Two  minds with one intent become so strong that what they will becomes
W1:185.3  become so strong that what they will becomes the Will of God. For  minds can only join in truth. In dreams no two can share the same
W1:185.4  must escape the dream, for compromising is the goal of dreaming.  Minds cannot unite in dreams. They merely bargain. And what bargain
W1:185.4  come to take His place. And what He means is lost to sleeping  minds intent on compromise, each to his gain and to another's loss.
W1:185.6 The mind which means that all it wants is peace must join with other  minds, for that is how peace is obtained. And when the wish for peace
W1:186.2  are worthy. What is given us to do we have the strength to do. Our  minds are suited perfectly to take the part assigned to us by One Who
W1:188.8  with God. We will not let them stray. We let the light within our  minds direct them to come home. We have betrayed them, ordering that
W1:188.9 Thus are our  minds restored with them, and we acknowledge that the peace of God
W1:189.9  come. And with this choice we rest. And in our quiet hearts and open  minds His love will blaze its pathway of itself. What has not been
W1:192.7  and fearful thoughts, our eyes shut tight against the light, our  minds engaged in worshipping what is not there.
W1:193.10  say these words when we have understood their power to release all  minds from bondage? These are words which give you power over all
W1:199.6 The Holy Spirit is the home of  minds that seek for freedom. In Him they find what they have sought.
W2:I.3  we will use that thought to introduce our times of rest and calm our  minds at need. Yet we will not content ourselves with simple
W2:I.4 Now do we come to Him with but His Word upon our  minds and hearts. And wait for Him to take the step to us that He has
W2:I.8  His hand has held us up. His thoughts have lit the darkness of our  minds. His Love has called to us unceasingly since time began.
W2:I.9  The memory of God is shimmering across the wide horizons of our  minds. A moment more, and it will rise again. A moment more, and we
W2:221.2  you, and you will hear. Accept my confidence, for it is yours. Our  minds are joined. We wait with one intent—to hear our Father's
W2:222.2 Father, we have no words except Your Name upon our lips and in our  minds as we come quietly into Your Presence now and ask to rest with
W2:242.2 And so we give today to You. We come with wholly open  minds. We do not ask for anything that we may think we want. Give us
W2:249.2 Father, we would return our  minds to You. We have betrayed them, held them in a vise of
W2:256.1  dream today. God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our  minds return to Him at last.
W2:258.1 All that is needful is to train our  minds to overlook all little, senseless aims and to remember that our
W2:258.1  and to remember that our goal is God. His memory is hidden in our  minds, obscured but by our pointless little goals which offer nothing
W2:273.1  us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell our  minds with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,”

W2:330.1  accept forgiveness as our only function. Why should we attack our  minds and give them images of pain? Why should we teach them they are
W2:WIE.5  of Life Itself. And peace will be restored forever to the holy  minds which God created as His Son, His dwelling-place, His joy, His

W1:17.9  the length of the practice period may be reduced to less than the  minute or so which is otherwise recommended.
W1:18.7 A  minute or so or even less will be sufficient.

W1:22.3 Look at the world about you at least five times today, for at least a  minute each time. As your eyes move slowly from one object to

W1:26.5  be attempted for each of them, although the time may be reduced to a  minute if the discomfort is too great. Do not reduce it further.
W1:28.7 We will have six two  minute practice periods today in which the idea for the day is stated
W1:33.5  the instant you are aware of distress. It may be necessary to take a  minute or so to sit quietly and repeat the idea to yourself several
W1:37.4  begin with the repetition of the idea for today followed by a  minute or so of looking about you as you apply the idea to whatever
W1:45.12  to understand the holiness of the mind that thinks with God. Take a  minute or two as you repeat the idea throughout the day to appreciate
W1:46.3  idea to yourself, as usual. Close your eyes as you do so and spend a  minute or two in searching your mind for those whom you have not
W1:47.4  your eyes and begin as usual by repeating today's idea. Then spend a  minute or two in searching for situations in your life which you have
W1:48.2  any situation. It is strongly recommended, however, that you take a  minute or so whenever possible to close your eyes and repeat the idea
W1:61.5  should be undertaken today, although each one need not exceed a  minute or two. They should begin with telling yourself:

W1:63.5  probably find it easier to let related thoughts come to you in the  minute or two which you should devote to considering this. Do not,

W1:102.7  Love created him as loving as Himself. Besides these hourly five  minute rests, pause frequently today to tell yourself that you have
W1:107.2  How it would feel? Try to remember when there was a time—perhaps a  minute, maybe even less—when nothing came to interrupt your peace;

W1:137.13  pain for joy, and separation for the peace of God. Is not a  minute of the hour worth the giving to receive a gift like this? Is
W1:140.14  today. And we will say our prayer for healing hourly and take a  minute as the hour strikes to hear the answer to our prayer be given
W1:153.16  to be faithful to the will we share with God. At times, perhaps, a  minute, even less, will be the most that we can offer as the hour
W1:193.14  to you more quickly. Do not try to hold it off another day, another  minute, or another instant. Time was made for this. Use it today for
W2:232.1  when I wake and shine on me throughout the day today. Let every  minute be a time in which I dwell with You. And let me not forget my
M:16.4  as soon as possible after waking, take your quiet time, continuing a  minute or two after you begin to find it difficult. You may find that

W1:41.5  soon as you get up if possible, sit quietly for some three to five  minutes with your eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice

W1:R2.2  longer practice periods will follow this general form: take about 15  minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking about the idea and

W1:91.5 Three times today, set aside about ten  minutes for a quiet time in which you try to leave your weakness

W1:93.12 You may not be willing or even able to use the first five  minutes of each hour for these exercises. Try, however, to do so when
W1:94.3 Today we will again devote the first five  minutes of each waking hour to the attempt to feel the truth in you.
W1:94.7 If you do not meet the requirement of practicing for the first five  minutes of every hour, at least remind yourself hourly:
W1:95.4 The use of the first five  minutes of every waking hour for practicing the idea for the day has
W1:95.7 We will therefore keep to the five  minutes an hour practice periods for a while and urge you to omit as
W1:95.7  while and urge you to omit as few as possible. Using the first five  minutes of the hour will be particularly helpful since it imposes
W1:96.16  it will yet be yours in full awareness. Every time you spend five  minutes of the hour seeking Him Who joins your mind and Self, you
W1:97.3  nearer at least; sometimes a thousand years or more are saved. The  minutes which you give are multiplied over and over, for the miracle
W1:97.4  a time which has no length and which has no end. Give, then, these  minutes willingly, and count on Him Who promised to lay timelessness
W1:97.5 Give Him the  minutes which He needs today to help you understand with Him you are
W1:97.6 The Holy Spirit will be glad to take five  minutes of each hour from your hands and carry them around this
W1:98.5 Is it not worth five  minutes of your time each hour to be able to accept the happiness
W1:98.5  to accept the happiness that God has given you? Is it not worth five  minutes hourly to recognize your special function here? Is not five
W1:98.5  minutes hourly to recognize your special function here? Is not five  minutes of the hour but a small request to make in terms of a reward
W1:98.7 Each hour today give Him your tiny gift of but five  minutes. He will give the words you use in practicing today's idea
W1:98.10 In each five  minutes that you spend with Him, He will accept your words and give
W1:98.12  hour, let your time be spent in happy preparation for the next five  minutes you will spend again with Him. Repeat today's idea while you
W1:99.18  you are one. Remind yourself of this between the times you give five  minutes to be shared with Him Who shares God's plan with you. Remind
W1:101.9  joy these thoughts will introduce into your mind. Give these five  minutes gladly to remove the heavy load you laid upon yourself with
W1:104.4 Our longer practice periods today, the hourly five  minutes given truth for your salvation, should begin with this:
W1:105.11 Spend your five  minutes thus with Him each time you can today, but do not think that
W1:106.11 Be still and listen to the truth today. For each five  minutes spent in listening, a thousand minds are opened to the truth.

W1:108.10 Then close your eyes, and for five  minutes think of what you would hold out to everyone to have it
W1:109.8 With each five  minutes that you rest today the world is nearer waking. And the time
W1:R3.5 The format you should use for these reviews is this: devote five  minutes twice a day, or longer if you would prefer, to considering
W1:R3.8 We emphasize the benefits to you if you devote the first five  minutes of the day to your review and also give the last five minutes
W1:R3.8  five minutes of the day to your review and also give the last five  minutes of your waking day to it. If this cannot be done, at least
W1:121.8  key to happiness and use it on your own behalf. We will devote ten  minutes in the morning and at night another ten to learning how to
W1:123.7 Receive His thanks and offer yours to Him for 15  minutes twice today. And you will realize to Whom you offer thanks,
W1:125.7 Three times today, at times most suitable for silence, give ten  minutes set apart from listening to the world and choose instead a
W1:126.9 Give 15  minutes twice today to the attempt to understand today's idea. It is
W1:127.7  and understand there is no better use for time than this. For 15  minutes twice today escape from every law in which you now believe.
W1:128.7 Give it ten  minutes rest three times today. And when your eyes are opened
W1:129.7 Practice your willingness to make this change ten  minutes in the morning and at night and once more in between. Begin

W1:131.11  the truth, and it is truth we ask to reach today. We will devote ten  minutes to this goal three times today, and we will ask to see the
W1:131.14 For several  minutes watch your mind and see, although your eyes are closed, the
W1:133.15 Our two extended practice periods of 15  minutes will begin with this:
W1:135.23 For 15  minutes twice today, we rest from senseless planning and from every
W1:137.14  for such a gift. And so we will begin the day with this and give ten  minutes to these thoughts with which we will conclude today at night
W1:138.11 We make the choice for Heaven as we wake and spend five  minutes making sure that we have made the one decision that is sane.
W1:138.12  we have made each hour in between. And now we give the last five  minutes of our waking day to the decision with which we awoke. As
W1:139.10 Five  minutes in the morning and at night we will devote to dedicate our
W1:139.13  all thoughts that would distract us from our holy aim. For several  minutes let your mind be cleared of all the foolish cobwebs which the
W1:140.11 We waken hearing Him and let Him speak to us five  minutes as the day begins and end the day by listening again five
W1:140.11  minutes as the day begins and end the day by listening again five  minutes more before we go to sleep. Our only preparation is to let

W1:152.12 We think of truth alone as we arise and spend five  minutes practicing its ways, encouraging our frightened minds with
W1:153.15  giving our attention to the daily thought as long as possible. Five  minutes now becomes the least we give to preparation for a day in

Tx:2.52 The emphasis will now be on healing. The  miracle is the means, the Atonement is the principle, and healing is

Tx:2.60 Before  miracle workers are ready to undertake their function in this world,

Tx:2.64  the result of refusal to accept the Atonement for yourself. If the  miracle worker does accept it, he places himself in a position to
Tx:2.65 The sole responsibility of the  miracle worker is to accept the Atonement for himself. This means
Tx:2.65  and that their miscreations cannot hurt them. By affirming this, the  miracle worker releases the mind from over-evaluating its own
Tx:2.71  levels. We said before that only revelation transcends time. The  miracle, as an expression of true human charity, can only shorten
Tx:2.71  most. It must be understood, however, that whenever a man offers a  miracle to another, he is shortening the suffering of both. This
Tx:2.87 We have emphasized that the  miracle, or the expression of Atonement, is always a sign of real

Tx:2.94  miraculous thinking, but they can be trained to think that way. All  miracle workers need that kind of training. I cannot let them leave
Tx:2.94  leave their minds unguarded, or they will not be able to help me.  Miracle working entails a full realization of the power of thought
Tx:2.94  the power of thought and real avoidance of miscreation. Otherwise, a  miracle will be necessary to set the mind itself straight, a circular
Tx:2.94  process which would hardly foster the time collapse for which the  miracle was intended. Nor would it induce the healthy respect for
Tx:2.94  it induce the healthy respect for true cause and effect which every  miracle worker must have.
Tx:2.95 [Miracles cannot free the  miracle worker from fear.] Both miracles and fear come from thoughts,
Tx:2.95  one, you would also not be free to choose the other. By choosing the  miracle, you have rejected fear. You have been afraid of God, of me,
Tx:2.96  for the whole content of the unconscious which lies above the  miracle level. All psychoanalytic theorists have made some

Tx:5.17  because it is very similar to the shift in time perception which the  miracle introduces. The Holy Spirit is the motivation for
Tx:5.18  as long as there is time. It is partly His and partly yours. The  miracle itself is just this fusion or union of will between Father
Tx:5.33  to be aware of the Holy Spirit either in himself or in you for this  miracle to occur.
Tx:5.68  are really reacting irresponsibly. If the sole responsibility of the  miracle worker is to accept the Atonement for himself, and I assure
Tx:6.62  the body cannot heal the mind, then the mind must be stronger. Every  miracle demonstrates this.
Tx:7.94  not whole. A split mind cannot perceive its fullness and needs the  miracle of its wholeness to dawn upon it and heal it. This reawakens
Tx:7.97  awareness that your identification is maintained by extension. The  miracle is a lesson in total perception. By including any part of
Tx:7.106  you are. But if your joy is what you are], you are denying joy. The  miracle is therefore a lesson in what joy is. Being a lesson in
Tx:7.106  a lesson in sharing, it is a lesson in love, which is joy. Every  miracle is thus a lesson in truth, and by offering truth you are
Tx:9.27  That is how perception ultimately is translated into knowledge. The  miracle worker begins by perceiving light and translates his
Tx:9.36  to your reality which you can recognize. You cannot perform a  miracle for yourself, because miracles are a way of giving acceptance
Tx:9.50  and grandiosity, because it does not know the difference between  miracle impulses and ego-alien beliefs of its own. We once said that
Tx:9.91 The  miracle is the act of a Son of God who has laid aside all false gods
Tx:9.91  a call to Him which is strengthened by this joining. Because the  miracle worker has heard Him, he strengthens His Voice in a sick
Tx:10.17  in your willingness to join them is your healing accomplished. Every  miracle which you accomplish speaks to you of the Fatherhood of God.
Tx:12.48  by doing so, you are aligning past and future and not allowing the  miracle, which could intervene between them, to free you to be born
Tx:12.49 The  miracle enables you to see your brother without his past and so
Tx:13.3  is merely a faulty formulation of reality with no effect at all. The  miracle, without a function in Heaven, is needful here. Aspects of
Tx:13.5 This is the  miracle of creation; that it is one forever. Every miracle you offer
Tx:13.5 This is the miracle of creation; that it is one forever. Every  miracle you offer to the Son of God is but the true perception of one
Tx:13.6  them unto His Father as they were offered unto Him. There is one  miracle, as there is one reality. And every miracle you do contains
Tx:13.6  unto Him. There is one miracle, as there is one reality. And every  miracle you do contains them all, as every aspect of reality you see
Tx:13.6  reality you see blends quietly into the One Reality of God. The only  miracle that ever was is God's most holy Son, created in the One
Tx:13.8  of God the Father. The holy light you saw outside yourself in every  miracle you offered to your brothers will be returned to you. And
Tx:13.9  here, and you deny the witnesses to] your fatherhood in Heaven. The  miracle which God created is perfect, as are the miracles which you

Tx:14.9 The  miracle acknowledges the guiltlessness which must have been denied to
Tx:14.47  is not true that anything without order of difficulty can occur. The  miracle, therefore, has a unique function and is motivated by a
Tx:14.47  Teacher, Who brings the laws of another world to this one. The  miracle is the one thing you can do that transcends order, being
Tx:14.48  to grasp is the lack of order of difficulty which stamps the  miracle as something that must come from elsewhere, not from here.
Tx:14.51 The  miracle offers exactly the same response to every call for help. It
Tx:14.51  simple. The power of God, and not of you, engenders miracles. The  miracle itself is but the witness that you have the power of God in
Tx:14.51  that you have the power of God in you. That is the reason why the  miracle gives equal blessing to all who share in it, and that is also
Tx:14.57 The  miracle is the recognition that this is true. Where there is love,
Tx:14.57  identity. We have already learned that this identity is shared. The  miracle becomes the means of sharing it. By supplying your identity
Tx:14.57  holds for him. Nor will the power of all His love be absent from any  miracle you offer to His Son. How, then, can there be any order of
Tx:14.67  He cannot change Himself, for your identity is changeless. The  miracle acknowledges His changelessness by seeing His Son as he
Tx:14.67  His Son as he always was and not as he would make himself. The  miracle brings the effects which only guiltlessness can bring and
Tx:14.69  you? You have no problems which He cannot solve by offering you a  miracle. Miracles are for you. And every fear or pain or trial you
Tx:14.69  therefore binds not you. He does not see time as you do. And each  miracle He offers you corrects your use of time and makes it His.
Tx:14.70  and works through you. And all His works are yours. He offers you a  miracle with every one you let Him do through you.
Tx:14.71  silence, and do not raise your voice against Him. For He teaches the  miracle of oneness, and before His lesson division disappears. Teach
Tx:14.71  you will remember that you have always created like your Father. The  miracle of creation has never ceased, having the holy stamp of
Tx:15.15  for you in that shining instant of perfect release. Offer the  miracle of the holy instant through the Holy Spirit and leave His
Tx:16.10  that demonstrates you did not do them. Why should you worry how the  miracle extends to all the Sonship when you do not understand the
Tx:16.10  miracle extends to all the Sonship when you do not understand the  miracle itself? One attribute is no more difficult to understand than
Tx:16.12 To you the  miracle cannot seem natural because what you have done to hurt your
Tx:16.15  and to the One Who speaks for Him. For His task is to translate the  miracle into the knowledge which it represents and which is lost to
Tx:16.15  it represents and which is lost to you. Let His understanding of the  miracle be enough for you, and do not turn away from all the
Tx:16.17  is weakness and attack is power. Should not this be a sufficient  miracle to teach you that your Teacher is not of you? But remember
Tx:16.80  the holy instant, where all illusions are forgiven. From there the  miracle extends to bless everyone and to resolve all problems, be
Tx:17.69  with it. The goal's reality will call forth and accomplish every  miracle needed for its fulfillment. Nothing too small or too
Tx:18.33  that you must achieve the state its coming brings with it. The  miracle of the holy instant lies in your willingness to let it be
Tx:18.35  the learner, nor can you make him different. Would you first make a  miracle yourself and then expect one to be made for you?
Tx:18.64  happen for more than an instant, yet it is in this instant that the  miracle of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will see the body
Tx:19.14  faithlessness aside and come to it together. There will you see the  miracle of your relationship as it was made again through faith. And
Tx:19.14  forgive. No error interferes with its calm sight, which brings the  miracle of healing with equal ease to all of them. For what the
Tx:19.44  is no more difficult than to surmount your little wall. For in the  miracle of your relationship, without this barrier, is every miracle
Tx:19.44  in the miracle of your relationship, without this barrier, is every  miracle contained. There is no order of difficulty in miracles, for
Tx:19.44  His holy purpose, for it is yours. But let Him quietly extend the  miracle of your relationship to everyone contained in it, as it was
Tx:19.45  you be kept by shadows from the light in which illusions end. Every  miracle is but the end of an illusion. Such was the journey; such its
Tx:19.87  God and you. In its tiny hands, it holds in perfect safety every  miracle you will perform, held out to you. The miracle of life is
Tx:19.87  perfect safety every miracle you will perform, held out to you. The  miracle of life is ageless, born in time but nourished in eternity.
Tx:20.37  time, and with each joining is the end of time brought nearer. Each  miracle of joining is a mighty herald of eternity. No one who has a
Tx:21.12  of the Son of God, remembering who he is they sing of. What is a  miracle but this remembering? And who is there in whom this memory
Tx:21.64  brother nor yourself can be attacked alone. But neither can accept a  miracle instead without the other being blessed by it and healed of
Tx:22.43  hope and freedom and release from suffering to everyone who needs a  miracle to save him.
Tx:22.44 How easy is it to offer this  miracle to everyone! No one who has received it for himself could
Tx:23.52  When it occurs, leave not your place on high but quickly choose a  miracle instead of murder. And God Himself and all the lights of
Tx:25.83  more and others less? And is this justice to the wholly innocent? A  miracle is justice. It is not a special gift to some to be withheld
Tx:25.85  you will feel denied. Seek to deprive, and you have been deprived. A  miracle can never be received because another could receive it not.
Tx:25.86  sole responsibility must be to take forgiveness for yourself. The  miracle that you receive, you give. Each one becomes an illustration
Tx:25.87 Each  miracle is an example of what justice can accomplish when it is
Tx:26.13 The  miracle of justice can correct all errors. Every problem is an error.
Tx:26.14  you have made it great and past the hope of healing. You deny the  miracle of justice can be fair.
Tx:26.15  no sacrifice of him because you could not will he suffer loss. The  miracle of justice you call forth will rest on you as surely as on
Tx:26.28  one teaches him that what he fear[s,] he loves the most. What but a  miracle could change his mind, so that he understands that love
Tx:26.28  mind, so that he understands that love cannot be feared? What other  miracle is there but this? And what else need there be to make the
Tx:26.56  Which holds all things within Itself? There is no sin. And every  miracle is possible the instant that the Son of God perceives his
Tx:26.57  that anything be lost if what you have is what you are. This is the  miracle by which creation became your function, sharing it with God.
Tx:26.61 The  miracle is possible when cause and consequence are brought together,
Tx:26.62  to all illusions that were made another purpose that would justify a  miracle, whatever form they took. In every miracle all healing lies,
Tx:26.62  that would justify a miracle, whatever form they took. In every  miracle all healing lies, for God gave answer to them all as one. And
Tx:26.63 The  miracle but calls your ancient name, which you will recognize because
Tx:26.67  refuse to answer when He has already answered all who call on Him? A  miracle can make no change at all. But it can make what always has
Tx:26.72  this, is it protected and kept separate from healing. For a  miracle is now. It stands already here in present grace, within the
Tx:26.84  Christ, and ancient scars are healed within His sight. An ancient  miracle has come to bless and to replace an ancient enmity that came
Tx:27.16  and yourself. A broken body shows the mind has not been healed. A  miracle of healing proves that separation is without effect. What you
Tx:27.17  a thousand tongues. For here is his forgiveness proved to him. A  miracle can offer nothing less to him than it has given unto you. So
Tx:27.18 Thus does the  miracle undo all things the world attests can never be undone. And
Tx:27.19  and you are healed because you wished him well. This is the law the  miracle obeys; that healing sees no specialness at all. It does not
Tx:27.44 The only way to heal is to be healed. The  miracle extends without your help, but you are needed that it can
Tx:27.44  without your help, but you are needed that it can begin. Accept the  miracle of healing, and it will go forth because of what it is. It is
Tx:27.46  are gently lifted up and comforted. There is no sadness where a  miracle has come to heal. And nothing more than just one instant of
Tx:27.57  He sends a witness to your life in Him Who knows no death. Each  miracle He brings is witness that the body is not real. Its pains and
Tx:27.58 The  miracle makes no distinctions in the names by which sin's witnesses
Tx:27.58  called your suffering. It is no longer there. The One Who brings the  miracle perceived them all as one and called by name of fear. As fear
Tx:27.58  and called by name of fear. As fear is witness unto death, so is the  miracle the witness unto life. It is a witness no one can deny, for
Tx:27.58  brings. The dying live, the dead arise, and pain has vanished. Yet a  miracle speaks not but for itself, but what it represents.
Tx:27.59 Love, too, has symbols in a world of sin. The  miracle forgives because it stands for what is past forgiveness and
Tx:27.59  forgiveness and is true. How foolish and insane it is to think a  miracle is bound by laws which it came solely to undo! The laws of
Tx:27.59  cry for help within a world of misery. It is their sameness that the  miracle attests. It is their sameness that it proves.
Tx:27.60  different are dissolved and shown as powerless. The purpose of a  miracle is to accomplish this. And God Himself has guaranteed the
Tx:27.60  strength of miracles for what they witness to. Be witnesses unto the  miracle and not the laws of sin. There is no need to suffer any more.
Tx:28.1 The  miracle does nothing. All it does is to undo. And thus it cancels out
Tx:28.1  the mind that thought of them and loved them for a little while. The  miracle but shows the past is gone, and what has truly gone has no
Tx:28.9  consequences which were causeless and could never be effects. The  miracle reminds you of a Cause forever present, perfectly untouched
Tx:28.10  lost. You need no healing to be healed. In quietness, see in the  miracle a lesson in allowing Cause to have Its own effects and doing
Tx:28.11 The  miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is
Tx:28.11  be. Born out of sharing, there can be no pause in time to cause the  miracle delay in hastening to all unquiet minds and bringing them an
Tx:28.19 The  miracle does not awaken you but merely shows you who the dreamer is.
Tx:28.20  to be the victim and the sufferer. These are the happy dreams the  miracle exchanges for your own. It does not ask you make another—
Tx:28.22 The  miracle establishes you dream a dream and that its content is not
Tx:28.22  not his own attack, and he is innocent of what he caused. The  miracle does nothing but to show him that he has done nothing. What
Tx:28.24  step is an effect of what has gone before, appearing as a cause. The  miracle is the first step in giving back to cause the function of
Tx:28.25 Like every lesson which the Holy Spirit requests you learn, the  miracle is clear. It demonstrates what He would have you learn and
Tx:28.26 The  miracle returns the cause of fear to you who made it. But it also
Tx:28.26  of what it made. Yet half the lesson will not teach the whole. The  miracle is useless if you learn but that the body can be healed, for
Tx:28.28  steps to be directed up the ladder separation led you down. The  miracle alone is your concern at present. Here is where we must
Tx:28.28  rising up to waking and the ending of the dream. When you accept a  miracle, you do not add your dream of fear to one that is already
Tx:28.30 The  miracle does nothing just because the minds are joined and cannot
Tx:28.33  the bridge, but only in the space left clean and vacant by the  miracle. The seeds of sickness and the shame of [sin] He cannot
Tx:28.33  and clutch them not with eager hands, to keep them for yourself. The  miracle will brush them all aside and thus make room for Him Who
Tx:28.35  in forgiveness lies and gently shows you that you never sinned. The  miracle would leave no proof of guilt to bring you witness to what
Tx:28.35  before them there. And they will meet with your invited Guests the  miracle has asked to come to you.
Tx:28.44  share not your brother's evil dream, this is the picture that the  miracle will place within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds
Tx:28.46  go is all the Healer of God's Son requires. He will place the  miracle of healing where the seeds of sickness were. And there will
Tx:29.11  And being healed, the power to heal must also now be yours. The  miracle is not a separate thing which happens suddenly, as an effect
Tx:29.25  are not true. Their equal lack of truth becomes the basis for the  miracle, which means that you have understood that dreams are dreams
Tx:29.25  if you want to live in dreams or to awaken from them. Thus it is the  miracle does not select some dreams to leave untouched by its
Tx:29.26  form can change, but they cannot be made of something else. The  miracle were treacherous indeed if it allowed you still to be afraid
Tx:29.26  the fear. You would not then be willing to awake, for which the  miracle prepares the way.
Tx:29.27  veils the heavy lump of fear which is their core. And it is this the  miracle perceives, and not the wrappings in which it is bound.
Tx:29.56  Its life and power are its believer's gift, and this is what the  miracle restores to what has life and power worthy of the gift of
Tx:29.56  life and power worthy of the gift of Heaven and eternal peace. The  miracle does not restore the truth, the light the veil between has
Tx:30.74 Forgiveness recognized as merited will heal. It gives the  miracle its strength to overlook illusions. This is how you learn
Tx:30.74  possible could there be some appearances which could withstand the  miracle and not be healed by it.
Tx:30.76 It must be true the  miracle can heal all forms of sickness, or it cannot heal. Its
Tx:30.77  this and being glad there cannot be some forms of sickness which the  miracle must lack the power to heal.
Tx:30.90 The  miracle is means to demonstrate that all appearances can change
Tx:30.90  appearances and cannot have the changelessness reality entails. The  miracle attests salvation from appearances by showing they can
Tx:30.90  from all forms of lack, and safety from disaster of all kinds. The  miracle is proof he is not bound by loss or suffering in any form
Tx:30.91  reality. Temptation, then, is nothing more than this—a prayer the  miracle touch not some dreams but keep their unreality obscure and
Tx:30.91  reality instead. And Heaven gives no answer to the prayer, nor can a  miracle be given you to heal appearances you do not like. You have
Tx:30.92  there must be some appearances beyond the hope of change is that the  miracle cannot come forth from you consistently. For you have asked
Tx:30.92  have asked it be withheld from power to heal all dreams. There is no  miracle you cannot have when you desire healing. But there is no
Tx:30.92  no miracle you cannot have when you desire healing. But there is no  miracle that can be given you unless you want it. Choose what you
Tx:30.93 Because reality is changeless is a  miracle already there to heal all things that change and offer them
Tx:30.94  of him. There is no false appearance but will fade if you request a  miracle instead. There is no pain from which he is not free if you
Tx:31.92  form wherever it occurs but disappear as mists before the sun. A  miracle has come to heal God's Son and close the door upon his dreams

Tx:1.96 Christ-controlled  miracles are selective only in the sense that they are directed
Tx:1.107  except to himself. Man believes in what he creates. If he creates  miracles, he will be equally strong in his belief in them. The
Tx:2.16  truth on the one hand and all kinds of errors on the other. Some  miracles may seem to be of greater magnitude than others. But
Tx:2.16  first point in this course—that there is no order of difficulty in  miracles.
Tx:2.17  unshaken by lack of love from without and capable through your own  miracles of correcting the external conditions which proceed from

Tx:6.63 We have said that the Holy Spirit is the motivation for  miracles. This is because He always tells you that only the mind is
Tx:6.63  meaningless. To the Holy Spirit, there is no order of difficulty in  miracles. This is familiar enough to you by now, but it has not yet
Tx:6.64  the thought system I teach and want you to teach. You cannot perform  miracles without believing it, because it is a belief in perfect
Tx:6.80  It is clear at this point that the lack of order of difficulty in  miracles has not yet been accepted, because nothing is difficult that
Tx:7.19  to liberate totally. We once said there is no order of difficulty in  miracles, because they are all maximal expressions of love. This has
Tx:7.34  the knowledge that you are in God, because you are part of Him. The  miracles which the Holy Spirit inspires can have no order of
Tx:7.97  and the extensions which maintain it in wholeness and peace.  Miracles are an expression of this confidence. They are reflections
Tx:7.106  Miracles are in accord with the Will of God Whose Will you do not

Tx:8.38  His holy Sons! All glory lies in them because they are united. The  miracles we do bear witness to the Will of the Father for His Son and
Tx:8.59  of reality merely appear to exist, just as different orders of  miracles do. Thought cannot be made into flesh except by belief,
Tx:9.14  fulfill it perfectly. That is what we meant when we once said that  miracles are natural, and when they do not occur, something has gone
Tx:9.15  Miracles are merely the sign of your willingness to follow the Holy
Tx:9.36  Miracles have no place in eternity because they are reparative. Yet
Tx:9.36  because they are reparative. Yet while you still need healing, your  miracles are the only witnesses to your reality which you can
Tx:9.36  can recognize. You cannot perform a miracle for yourself, because  miracles are a way of giving acceptance and receiving it. In time,
Tx:9.55  because love is returned, but pride is not. Pride will not produce  miracles and therefore will deprive you of your true witnesses to
Tx:10.68  limited, you are limiting mine. There is no order of difficulty in  miracles because all of God's Sons are of equal value, and their
Tx:11.14  Miracles are merely the translation of denial into truth. If to love
Tx:11.61  Miracles demonstrate that learning has occurred under the right
Tx:11.61  recognize that you have learned there is no order of difficulty in  miracles when you have applied them to all situations. There is no
Tx:11.61  have applied them to all situations. There is no situation to which  miracles do not apply, and by applying them to all situations, you
Tx:11.63  there. What He enables you to do is clearly not of this world, for  miracles violate every law of reality as this world judges it. Every
Tx:11.64  manifestations. And unless you do, you will not realize He is there.  Miracles are His witnesses and speak for His Presence. What you
Tx:13.7  you cannot lose. Offer Christ's gift to everyone and everywhere, for  miracles offered the Son of God through the Holy Spirit attune you to
Tx:13.9 As  miracles in this world join you to your brothers, so do your
Tx:13.9  in Heaven. The miracle which God created is perfect, as are the  miracles which you created in His name. They need no healing, nor do
Tx:13.10  to as one. God waits your witness to His Son and to Himself. The  miracles you do on earth are lifted up to Heaven and to Him. They
Tx:13.49 That is why your  miracles offer you the testimony that you are blessed. If what you
Tx:14.48  Miracles are not in competition, and the number of them that you can
Tx:14.51  answer is very simple. The power of God, and not of you, engenders  miracles. The miracle itself is but the witness that you have the
Tx:14.67 You cannot be your guide to  miracles, for it is you who made them necessary. And because you did,
Tx:14.67  And because you did, the means on which you can depend for  miracles has been provided for you. God's Son can make no needs His
Tx:14.68  the guidance that you would accept, you are unable to depend on  miracles to answer all your problems for you.
Tx:14.69  have no problems which He cannot solve by offering you a miracle.  Miracles are for you. And every fear or pain or trial you have has
Tx:15.13  tempted to attack a brother, that his instant of release is yours.  Miracles are the instants of release you offer and will receive. They
Tx:15.54  them all equally, and so do you. In time you have been told to offer  miracles as Christ directs and let the Holy Spirit bring to you those
Tx:16.10  yourselves not with the extension of holiness, for the nature of  miracles you do not understand. Nor do you do them. It is their
Tx:16.10  attribute is no more difficult to understand than is the whole. If  miracles are at all, their attributes would have to be miraculous,
Tx:16.11  to yourself. A better and far more helpful way to think of  miracles is this: You do not understand them, either in part or
Tx:16.12  perception would show you instantly that order of difficulty in  miracles is quite impossible, for it involves a contradiction of what
Tx:16.12  is quite impossible, for it involves a contradiction of what  miracles mean. And if you could understand their meaning, their
Tx:16.13 You have done  miracles, but it is quite apparent that you have not done them alone.
Tx:16.15  truth that has been given you, and be glad you do not understand it.  Miracles are natural to God and to the One Who speaks for Him. For
Tx:17.3 When you maintain that there must be order of difficulty in  miracles, all you mean is that there are some things you would
Tx:17.4  have it so, so long will the illusion of order of difficulty in  miracles remain with you. For you have established this order in
Tx:18.40  place to One Who knows. The whole belief in orders of difficulty in  miracles is centered on this. Everything God wills is not only
Tx:19.44  is every miracle contained. There is no order of difficulty in  miracles, for they are all the same. Each is a gentle winning over
Tx:19.83  way to teach the first and fundamental principle in a course on  miracles than by showing you the one which seems to be the hardest
Tx:21.1  is a result, not a cause. And that is why order of difficulty in  miracles is meaningless. Everything looked upon with vision is healed
Tx:21.36  its power elsewhere should another point of view be given them. The  miracles which follow this decision are also born of faith. For all
Tx:21.51  in them, you will perceive another Self in you. This other Self sees  miracles as natural. They are as simple and natural to It as
Tx:21.51  are the obvious response to calls for help, the only one It makes.  Miracles seem unnatural to the ego because it does not understand how
Tx:21.51  other Self is perfectly aware of this. And thus It recognizes that  miracles do not affect another's mind, only Its own. [They always
Tx:23.21 Think how this seems to interfere with the first principle of  miracles. For this establishes degrees of truth among illusions,
Tx:23.21  same and equally untrue, it would be easy, then, to understand that  miracles apply to all of them. Errors of any kind can be corrected
Tx:23.50  that you do not recognize for what it is limits the healing and the  miracles you have the power to extend to all. Yet does the Holy
Tx:23.51  of it. Here murder is your choice. Yet from above, the choice is  miracles instead of murder. And the perspective coming from this
Tx:23.51  perceived as nothingness when you engage in it? How can the truth of  miracles be recognized if murder is your choice?
Tx:23.55  Who with the love of God upholding him could find the choice of  miracles or murder hard to make?
Tx:24.36  make less sense to specialness. Nothing could make more sense to  miracles. For miracles are merely change of purpose from hurt to
Tx:24.36  sense to specialness. Nothing could make more sense to miracles. For  miracles are merely change of purpose from hurt to healing.
Tx:25.82  that justice means no one can lose is crucial to this course. For  miracles depend on justice. Not as it is seen through this world's
Tx:25.83  he does not merit an attack of any kind. What order can there be in  miracles, unless someone deserves to suffer more and others less? And
Tx:25.84  seek to help God's Son be more unfair than he has sought to be. If  miracles, the Holy Spirit's gift, were given specially to an elect
Tx:25.85 Unless you think that all your brothers have an equal right to  miracles with you, you will not claim your right to them because you
Tx:25.85  because another could receive it not. Only forgiveness offers  miracles. And pardon must be just to everyone.
Tx:26.28 Forgiveness brings no little  miracles to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of God
Tx:26.30  hindrance can seem large indeed to those who do not understand that  miracles are all the same. Yet teaching that is what this course is
Tx:26.47 This is a course in  miracles. And as such, the laws of healing must be understood before
Tx:26.79  take its ancient place upon an ancient throne. Because of Them have  miracles sprung up as grass and flowers on the barren ground which
Tx:27.19 How just are  miracles! For they bestow an equal gift of full deliverance from
Tx:27.45  for an instant, you love without attack. An instant is sufficient.  Miracles wait not on time.
Tx:27.59  they attest to different sufferings. Yet to the One Who sends forth  miracles to bless the world, a tiny stab of pain, a little worldly
Tx:27.60  to accomplish this. And God Himself has guaranteed the strength of  miracles for what they witness to. Be witnesses unto the miracle and
Tx:27.87  all of them, no matter what their form. And you will understand that  miracles reflect the simple statement,
Tx:28.9  does not lie in the past nor await the future. It is not revealed in  miracles. They but remind you that It has not gone. When you forgive
Tx:28.26  effects are gone, there is no cause. Thus is the body healed by  miracles because they show the mind made sickness and employed the
Tx:28.27 This world is full of  miracles. They stand in shining silence next to every dream of pain
Tx:28.34 Count, then, the silver  miracles and golden dreams of happiness as all the treasures you
Tx:28.35 Be not afraid, but let your world be lit by  miracles. And where the gap was seen to stand between you, join your
Tx:28.46  is joy in separation, and its giving up would be a sacrifice. But  miracles are the result when you do not insist on seeing in the gap
Tx:28.63  a purpose not your own, and you have chosen that it not be sick. All  miracles are based upon this choice and given you the instant it is
Tx:30.92 Reality is changeless.  Miracles but show what you have interposed between reality and your
Tx:30.92  unless you want it. Choose what you would heal, and He Who gives all  miracles has not been given freedom to bestow His gifts upon God's
Tx:31.91  strength that comes from God and that can never fail. And thus are  miracles as natural as fear and agony appeared to be before the
W1:19.5  connection will ultimately make the recognition of lack of order in  miracles meaningful to you.
W1:77.1 You are entitled to  miracles because of what you are. You will receive miracles because

W1:77.4  by telling yourself quite confidently that you are entitled to  miracles. Closing your eyes, remind yourself that you are asking only
W1:77.4  asking only for what is rightfully yours. Remind yourself also that  miracles are never taken from one and given to another and that in
W1:77.4  in asking for your rights you are upholding the rights of everyone.  Miracles do not obey the laws of this world. They merely follow from
W1:77.8 I am entitled to  miracles.
W1:77.11 I will not trade  miracles for grievances. I want only what belongs to me. God has

Tx:14.2  hear me speak for Him and for yourselves. You cannot understand how  much your Father loves you, for there is no parallel in your
Tx:14.20  purpose. He knows you are not separate from God, but He perceives  much in your mind that lets you think you are. All this, and nothing
Tx:14.33  for you. Everything that promises otherwise, great or small, however  much or little valued, He will replace with the one promise given
Tx:14.52  the call for love. You cannot safely make this division, for you are  much too confused either to recognize love or to believe that
Tx:14.58  have lost it. You still have the power, but you have interposed so  much between it and your awareness of it that you cannot use it.
Tx:15.19 You do not realize how  much you have misused your brothers by seeing them as sources of ego

Tx:15.112 So will the year begin in joy and freedom. There is  much to do, and we have been long delayed. Accept the holy instant as
Tx:16.22  you have so diligently taught yourself to believe? Yet remember how  much care you have exerted in choosing its witnesses and in avoiding

Tx:3.1  on these earlier sections not to require their study. You will also  need them for preparation. Without this, you may become much too
Tx:3.4 1. The miracle abolishes the  need for lower-order concerns. Since it is an out-of-pattern time
Tx:3.18  If you can accept the one generalization now, there will be no  need to learn from many smaller lessons.

Tx:3.58  is all one and has no separate parts. You who are really one with it  need but know yourself, and your knowledge is complete. To know God's

Tx:3.63  belief that you are under the coercion of judgment. You do not  need judgment to organize your life, and you certainly do not need it

Tx:4.12  with me, but my goal will always be to absolve you finally from the  need for a teacher.
Tx:4.21  to learn this lesson together, so we can be free of them together. I  need devoted teachers who share my aim of healing the mind. The Soul
Tx:4.21  who share my aim of healing the mind. The Soul is far beyond the  need of your protection or mine. Remember this:
Tx:4.22 In this world you  need not have tribulation because I have overcome the world.
Tx:4.26  is as if you never had it. This willfulness is so apparent that one  need only perceive it to see that it does happen. If it can occur
Tx:4.26  of how the mind can work, provided you fully recognize that it  need not work that way. Why are you surprised that something happened
Tx:4.27 You forget the love that animals have for their own offspring and the  need they feel to protect them. This is because they regard them as
Tx:4.29  of real self-preservation and are very likely to decide that you  need precisely what would hurt you most. Whether you know it now or
Tx:4.30  as very weak and deprived, capable of functioning only as a thing in  need.
Tx:4.32  All appetites are “getting” mechanisms, representing the ego's  need to confirm itself. This is as true of bodily appetites as it is
Tx:4.36  does not apply to the Soul, which is not in danger and does not  need to be salvaged. Salvation is nothing more than
Tx:4.39  on the ego in an attempt to unify their clearly unrelated data. It  need hardly be said that an attempt to relate the unrelated cannot
Tx:4.40  ingenious forms. We do not have to explain anything. This is why we  need not trouble ourselves with inventiveness. The highly specific
Tx:4.47  but salvation depends on disinhibiting the former. The reason you  need my help is because you have repressed your own Guide and
Tx:4.47  my help is because you have repressed your own Guide and therefore  need guidance. My role is to separate the true from the false in your
Tx:4.57  wrongly, and this is so whenever you are not joyous, then know this  need not be. In every case you have thought wrongly about some Soul
Tx:4.59 When you are sad, know that this  need not be. Depression always arises ultimately from a sense of
Tx:4.60  know that all anxiety comes from the capriciousness of the ego and  need not be. You can be as vigilant against the ego's dictates as for
Tx:4.61  ego is in command because only the ego can experience guilt. This  need not be.
Tx:4.62  vigilant against the demands of the ego to disengage yourself. This  need not be.
Tx:4.65  God Himself shines in perfect light. To the ego's dark glass you  need but say, “I will not look there because I know these images are
Tx:4.95  everything else it dictates. Its communication is controlled by its  need to protect itself, and it will disrupt communication when it
Tx:4.101  from God. It is not enough until it is shared. God does not  need revelation returned to Him, which would clearly be impossible,

Tx:4.105  body is in great need of rehabilitation itself. All symptoms of hurt  need true helpfulness, and whenever they are met with this, the mind
Tx:4.105  is not concerned either with the ego's fight for control or its  need to avoid and withdraw. You can do much on behalf of your own
Tx:5.11  of the Atonement at the same time. Before that, there was no  need for healing and no one was comfortless.
Tx:5.21  but you have let the belief in darkness enter your minds, and so you  need a new light. The Holy Spirit is the radiance that you must let
Tx:5.21  breaks through into its own. Before the separation you did not  need guidance. You knew as you will know again, but as you do not
Tx:5.54 I cannot forget my  need to teach what I have learned, which arose in me because I
Tx:5.75 We  need cite only a few examples to see how the ego's interpretations

Tx:5.90  that you can plan for your safety and joy better than He can? You  need be neither careful nor careless; you need merely cast your cares
Tx:5.90  better than He can? You need be neither careful nor careless; you  need merely cast your cares upon Him, because He careth for you. You
Tx:5.92  last-ditch defense of its own existence. It reflects both the ego's  need to separate and your willingness to side with its separateness.
Tx:5.93  urgent it is that you fulfill it. There is time for delay, but there  need not be. God weeps at the “sacrifice” of His Children, who
Tx:6.5  that the crucifixion was the last foolish journey that the Sonship  need take and that it should mean release from fear to anyone who
Tx:6.11  me with the sword, which I naturally refused, not being at all in  need of bodily protection. I am sorry when my brothers do not share
Tx:6.13  and had healed many. We are still equal as learners, even though we  need not have equal experiences. The Holy Spirit is glad when you can
Tx:6.16  you will know that you cannot either hurt or be hurt and that many  need your blessing to help them hear this for themselves. When you

Tx:6.23  its lesson, too, has equal reality when it is learned.] I do not  need gratitude any more than I needed protection, but you need to
Tx:6.23  I do not need gratitude any more than I needed protection, but you  need to develop your weakened ability to be grateful, or you cannot
Tx:6.23  ability to be grateful, or you cannot appreciate God. He does not  need your appreciation, but you do.
Tx:6.29  This invites Atonement automatically, because Atonement is the one  need which in this world is universal. To perceive yourself this way
Tx:6.34  to God, because it has never left Him. If it has never left Him, you  need only perceive it as it is to be returned. The full awareness of
Tx:6.35  and difficult. It is surely clear, however, that the perfect  need nothing and cannot experience perfection as a difficult
Tx:6.42  totally harmless. Once it can accept this fully, it does not see the  need to protect itself. The protection of God then dawns upon it,
Tx:6.45  Spirit will be glad when He has brought you home and you no longer  need His guidance. The ego does not regard itself as part of you.
Tx:6.48  do believe it you will not side with it, and the ego feels badly in  need of allies though not of brothers. Perceiving something alien to
Tx:6.54  and thus side with the belief that those who have everything  need help and are therefore helpless. This is the kind of “reasoning”
Tx:6.58  between sleeping and waking, so that they will understand they  need not be afraid of dreams. Then when bad dreams come, they will
Tx:6.59  what you must avoid to escape from harm so much as what you  need to learn to have joy. This is true even of the world's teachers.
Tx:6.72 Increasing motivation for change in the learner is all that a teacher  need do to guarantee change. This is because a change in motivation
Tx:6.88  the Holy Spirit will ultimately be able to teach you that you  need not choose at all. This will finally liberate your will from
Tx:6.95  must now turn your effort against it. Only this can cancel out the  need for effort and call upon the being which you both have and are.
Tx:7.9  as sick, he is perceiving himself as not whole and therefore in  need. If you too see him this way, you are seeing him as if he were
Tx:7.18  no translation, because it is perfectly understood, but it does  need extension because it means extension. Communication is perfectly
Tx:7.27  of you, since the ego perceives itself as at war and therefore in  need of allies. You who are not at war must look for brothers and
Tx:7.28  of competition has entered their minds. Do not underestimate your  need to be vigilant against this idea, because all your conflicts
Tx:7.33 Truth can only be recognized and  need only be recognized. Inspiration is of the Spirit, and certainty
Tx:7.39  of the ego's decision in this matter are so apparent that they  need no elaboration here, but the Holy Spirit's decision to use the
Tx:7.39  communication has such a direct connection with healing that it does  need clarification. The unhealed healer obviously does not understand
Tx:7.40  that the body can both communicate and create and therefore does not  need the mind. The ego thus tries to teach you that the body can act
Tx:7.51  Him Who created you. Our brothers are forgetful. That is why they  need your remembrance of me and Him who created me. Through this
Tx:7.63  that two totally contradictory thought systems share truth, your  need for vigilance is apparent. Your minds are dividing their
Tx:7.72  acts insanely, he is offering you an opportunity to bless him. His  need is yours. You need the blessing you can offer him. There is no
Tx:7.72  is offering you an opportunity to bless him. His need is yours. You  need the blessing you can offer him. There is no way for you to have
Tx:7.73 You do not  need God's blessing since that you have forever, but you do need
Tx:7.73  do not need God's blessing since that you have forever, but you do  need yours. The picture you see of yourselves is deprived, unloving,
Tx:7.102 That is why you  need to demonstrate the obvious to yourself. It is not obvious to
Tx:8.1  in a course for knowing on the grounds that you do not know. The  need for the course is implicit in your objection. Knowledge is not
Tx:8.3  of reality which you must make to secure peace, and the only one you  need ever make.
Tx:8.17  Holy Spirit knows how to teach this, but you do not. That is why you  need Him and why God gave Him to you. Only His teaching will release
Tx:8.41  want to share it you will. I give it willingly and gladly, because I  need you as much as you need me.
Tx:8.41  I give it willingly and gladly, because I need you as much as you  need me.
Tx:8.67  yours is unified, it is His. Interfere with His purpose, and you  need salvation. You have condemned yourself, but condemnation is not
Tx:8.76  is a witness to your frailty, your vulnerability, and your extreme  need to depend on external guidance. The ego uses this as its best
Tx:8.76  external guidance. The ego uses this as its best argument for your  need for its guidance. It dictates endless prescriptions for avoiding
Tx:8.81  it is. And this part only is up to you. The rest is of itself. You  need do so little, because it is so powerful that your little part
Tx:9.8  is for. God gave you the function to create in eternity. You do not  need to learn this, but you do need to learn to want this, and for
Tx:9.8  to create in eternity. You do not need to learn this, but you do  need to learn to want this, and for this all learning was made. This
Tx:9.8  This is the Holy Spirit's good use of an ability which you do not  need, but which you have made. Give it to Him! You do not know how to
Tx:9.36  place in eternity because they are reparative. Yet while you still  need healing, your miracles are the only witnesses to your reality
Tx:9.36  be separated. When you have learned that they are the same, the  need for time is over.
Tx:9.97 It is because you did not make yourselves that you  need be troubled by nothing. Your gods are nothing, because your
Tx:10.4  this journey alone. I will lead you to your true Father, Who hath  need of you as I have. Will you not answer the call of love with joy?
Tx:10.5 You have learned your  need of healing. Would you bring anything else to the Sonship,
Tx:10.5  Would you bring anything else to the Sonship, recognizing your  need of healing for yourself? For in this lies the beginning of
Tx:10.20  trust His patience, for He cannot leave a part of God. Yet you  need far more than patience.
Tx:10.21  the little spark and are willing to let it grow. Your willingness  need not be perfect, because His is. If you will merely offer Him a
Tx:10.24 God's Son is indeed in  need of comfort, for he knows not what he does, believing his will is
Tx:10.31  it is yours, and belonging to you, it is His. Your Soul does not  need salvation, but your mind needs to learn what salvation is. You
Tx:10.39  at them, for not looking is the way they are protected. There is no  need to shrink from illusions, for they cannot be dangerous. We are
Tx:10.57  that they have beheld God's Son, and in the Presence of Christ they  need demonstrate nothing, for Christ speaks to them of Himself and of
Tx:10.75  away. As long as you think you know its meaning, you will see no  need to ask it of Him.
Tx:10.76  accepted no guide at all. Instruction in perception is your great  need, for you understand nothing. Recognize this but do not accept
Tx:10.89  understand them, and because you are deceived by what you see, you  need reality to dispel your fears.
Tx:11.4  calls for help as exactly what they are except your own perceived  need to attack. It is only this that makes you willing to engage in
Tx:11.4  endless “battles” with reality in which you deny the reality of the  need for healing by making it unreal. You would not do this except
Tx:11.6  for help, you are refusing help. Would you maintain that you do not  need it? Yet this is what you are maintaining when you refuse to
Tx:11.6  you will not perceive God's answer to you. The Holy Spirit does not  need your help in interpreting motivation, but you do need His. Only
Tx:11.6  does not need your help in interpreting motivation, but you do  need His. Only appreciation is an appropriate response to your
Tx:11.7  hear his call for the help of God, and you will recognize your own  need for the Father.
Tx:11.8 Your interpretations of your brother's  need is your interpretation of yours. By giving help you are asking
Tx:11.8  By giving help you are asking for it, and if you perceive but one  need in yourself, you will be healed. For you will recognize God's
Tx:11.8  of your Father closer to your awareness. For the sake of your  need, then, hear every call for help as what it is, so God can answer
Tx:11.9  from it, although the recognition is necessary to demonstrate the  need for escape. The Holy Spirit must still translate it into truth.
Tx:11.9  from reality, not towards it. Yet we have repeatedly emphasized the  need to recognize fear and face it without disguise as a crucial step
Tx:11.24  have invested wrongly, and they are poor indeed! Because they are in  need, it is given you to help them since you are among them. Consider
Tx:11.24  poverty is lack, and there is but one lack since there is but one  need.
Tx:11.26  invested as they had, it would never occur to you to overlook their  need.
Tx:11.38  quite apparent that it had not taught you the response pattern you  need. The ego will therefore distort love and teach you that love
Tx:11.43  it is undivided. The strong do not attack because they see no  need to do so. Before the idea of attack can enter your mind, you
Tx:11.44  failed to weaken you, you are still strong. You therefore have no  need to “equalize” the situation to establish your strength.
Tx:11.46  with your own content. Yet creation is not of you, and poor learners  need special teaching. You have learning handicaps in a very literal
Tx:11.52  not divided, and the means and the end are in complete accord. You  need offer only undivided attention. Everything else will be given
Tx:11.65 As long as you believe you have two functions, so long will you  need correction. For this belief is the destruction of peace, a goal
Tx:11.88  because he has never condemned. The Atonement is the final lesson he  need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no
Tx:11.88  need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no  need of salvation.
Tx:11.97  associated with expiation, and only guilt could induce a sense of  need for expiation. Accepting the guiltlessness of the Son of God as
Tx:12.10  for the Holy Spirit to show it to you and dispel it, without the  need for you to raise it to awareness yourself. Yet there is one more
Tx:12.16  the pain in this mind is so apparent when it is uncovered that its  need of healing cannot be denied. Not all the tricks and games you
Tx:12.30 The Holy Spirit interprets time's purpose as rendering the  need for it unnecessary. Thus does He regard the function of time as
Tx:12.59  are no stores where people buy an endless list of things they do not  need. It is not lit with artificial light, and night comes not upon
Tx:12.62  of this strange world you made but do not want. The only effort you  need make to give this world away in glad exchange for what you did
Tx:12.68 Your Father knoweth that you have  need of nothing. In Heaven this is so, for what could you need in
Tx:12.68  you have need of nothing. In Heaven this is so, for what could you  need in eternity? In your world you do need things because it is a
Tx:12.68  is so, for what could you need in eternity? In your world you do  need things because it is a world of scarcity in which you find
Tx:12.68  yes! As Mediator between the two worlds, He knows what you have  need of and what will not hurt you. Ownership is a dangerous concept
Tx:12.69 Everything that the ego tells you that you  need will hurt you. For although the ego urges you again and again to
Tx:12.69  have gotten in its name. Therefore ask not of yourselves what you  need, for you do not know and your advice unto yourself will hurt
Tx:12.69  and your advice unto yourself will hurt you. For what you think you  need will merely serve to tighten up your world against the light and
Tx:12.70 Only the Holy Spirit knows what you  need. For He will give you all things that do not block the way to
Tx:12.70  things that do not block the way to light. And what else could you  need? In time He gives you all the things that you need have and will
Tx:12.70  else could you need? In time He gives you all the things that you  need have and will renew them as long as you have need of them. He
Tx:12.70  things that you need have and will renew them as long as you have  need of them. He will take nothing from you as long as you have any
Tx:12.70  need of them. He will take nothing from you as long as you have any  need of it. And yet He knows that everything you need is temporary
Tx:12.70  as you have any need of it. And yet He knows that everything you  need is temporary and will but last until you step aside from all
Tx:12.73 The Holy Spirit leads me unto Christ, and where else would I go? What  need have I but to awake in Him?
Tx:12.75  the gift of God. Hold me dear, for what except your brothers can you  need? We will restore to you the peace of mind that we must find
Tx:12.75  teach you to awaken unto us and to yourself. This is the only real  need to be fulfilled in time. Salvation from the world lies only
Tx:13.7  your individual concern. You, who are part of it and all of it,  need only realize that it is of the Father, not of you. Your role in
Tx:13.9  is perfect, as are the miracles which you created in His name. They  need no healing, nor do you when you know them.
Tx:13.40 You will not remember change and shift in Heaven. You have  need of contrast only here. Contrast and differences are necessary
Tx:13.40  When you have learned this, you will find the answer that makes the  need for any differences disappear. Truth comes of its own will unto
Tx:13.40  flow lightly over you without a difference of any kind. For you will  need no contrast to help you realize that this is what you want, and
Tx:13.48 If you are blessed and do not know it, you  need to learn it must be so. The knowledge is not taught, but its
Tx:13.49  a world made of denial and without direction. You will perceive the  need for this if you will realize that to deny is the decision not to
Tx:13.58  Let Me make the one distinction for you which you cannot make but  need to learn. Your faith in nothing is deceiving you. Offer your
Tx:13.74  given them because it is holy and will bring to them all that they  need, coming as naturally as peace that knows no limits. There is
Tx:13.74  strain, or the impossible burden of deciding what they want and  need alone.
Tx:13.75  gladly offers you. He offers you but what God gave Him for you. You  need not decide whether or not you are deserving of it. God knows you
Tx:13.87  Presence next to you but cannot know that you are one with Him. This  need not be taught. Learning applies only to the condition in which
Tx:13.89  you escape this guilt by failing to fulfill your function here? You  need not understand creation to do what must be done before that
Tx:14.9  the guiltlessness which must have been denied to produce  need of healing. Do not withhold this glad acknowledgment, for hope
Tx:14.9  can freedom from pain be his. Yet those who have failed to learn  need teaching, not attack. To attack those who have need of teaching
Tx:14.9  failed to learn need teaching, not attack. To attack those who have  need of teaching is to fail to learn from them.
Tx:14.40  you from everything that it is not. The Atonement is so gentle you  need but whisper to it, and all its power will rush to your
Tx:14.42  in it. Earth can reflect Heaven or hell; God or the ego. You  need but leave the mirror clean and clear of all the images of hidden
Tx:14.43  that is in him. He recognizes it because he has been taught his  need for it but knows not where to look to find it. Let him, then,
Tx:14.52  recognize love or to believe that everything else is nothing but a  need for love. You are too bound to form and not to content. What you
Tx:14.56  Let the Holy Spirit show him to you and teach you both his love and  need for love. Neither his mind nor yours holds more than these two
Tx:14.57  must give it to you because of what it is. But where there is  need for love, you must give it because of what you are. Long ago we
Tx:14.64  taught yourselves. How would you know? Your part is very simple. You  need only recognize that everything you learned you do not want. Ask
Tx:14.73  of Him. Call not upon the ego for anything. It is only this that you  need do. The Holy Spirit will, of Himself, fill every mind that so
Tx:14.74  His sight, He gives the gift of peace to everyone who perceives the  need for peace and who would have it. Make way for peace, and it will
Tx:15.1  you learn only of Him. When this has happened, you will no longer  need a teacher or time in which to learn.
Tx:15.12  the Holy Spirit for your salvation? He asks no more, for He has no  need of more. It takes far longer to teach you how to be willing to
Tx:15.32  gifts to offer to yourselves, for you will know you are complete, in  need of nothing, and unable to accept anything for yourself. But you
Tx:15.32  yourself. But you will gladly give, having received. The host of God  need not seek to find anything.
Tx:15.43  you would have it. Yet it would not be Atonement if there were no  need for Atonement. You will not be able to accept perfect
Tx:15.49  result in pain if you offer Him your willingness to have it serve no  need but His. All the guilt in it arises from your use of it. All the
Tx:15.49  your imagined needs, which would destroy the relationship. Your only  need is His.
Tx:15.53  free of the past, you see that love is in you, and you have no  need to look without and snatch it guiltily from where you thought it
Tx:15.55  judge the Self of God? God has created it beyond judgment out of His  need to extend His Love. With love in you, you have no need except to
Tx:15.55  out of His need to extend His Love. With love in you, you have no  need except to extend it. In the holy instant, there is no conflict
Tx:15.62  me the Holy Spirit gave it unto you, as you will give it. Let no  need that you perceive obscure your need of this. For in the holy
Tx:15.62  you, as you will give it. Let no need that you perceive obscure your  need of this. For in the holy instant, you will recognize the only
Tx:15.62  need of this. For in the holy instant, you will recognize the only  need the aspects of the Son of God share equally, and by this
Tx:15.74  which the ego accepts for special relationships. Guilt is the only  need the ego has, and as long as you identify with it, guilt will
Tx:15.75  be afraid to hear the Holy Spirit, recognizing in His voice your own  need to communicate. The Holy Spirit cannot teach through fear. And
Tx:15.78  And you understand that your completion is God's, Whose only  need is to have you be complete. For your completion makes you His in
Tx:15.79 The holy instant does not replace the  need for learning, for the Holy Spirit must not leave you as your
Tx:15.80 Hear Him gladly and learn of Him that you have  need of no special relationships at all. You but seek in them what
Tx:15.80  by desiring that it be all that there is. God's Son has such great  need of your willingness to strive for this that you cannot conceive
Tx:15.80  of your willingness to strive for this that you cannot conceive of  need so great. Behold the only need that God and His Son share and
Tx:15.80  for this that you cannot conceive of need so great. Behold the only  need that God and His Son share and will to meet together. You are
Tx:15.83  teach you what you do not understand. God would respond to every  need, whatever form it takes. And so He has kept this channel open to
Tx:15.88  yours. Yet your minds are already continuous, and their union  need only be accepted, and the loneliness in Heaven is gone.
Tx:15.89  but let the Holy Spirit tell you of the love of God for you and the  need your creations have to be with you forever, you would experience
Tx:15.91  and attack which the ego sees in it, you will learn you have no  need of a body at all. In the holy instant there are no bodies, and
Tx:15.101  and as simple as opening your eyes to daylight when you have no more  need of sleep.
Tx:15.102  idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is Host to God. And you  need but invite Him in Who is there already, by recognizing that His
Tx:16.4  the past upon my Guest. I have invited Him, and He is here. I  need do nothing except not to interfere.
Tx:16.63  of the body is so diminished in your sight that you will see no  need at all to magnify it. For you will realize that the only value
Tx:16.67  longing on the travesty it made of your relationships. Now no one  need suffer, for you have come too far to yield to the illusion of
Tx:16.69  His perspective to give it to you completely. And your willingness  need not be complete because His is perfect. It is His task to atone
Tx:17.1  “sins” are but his own imagining. His reality is forever sinless. He  need not be forgiven, but awakened. In his dreams he has betrayed

Tx:17.36  the defense of truth. The truth itself needs no defense, but you do  need defense against your own acceptance of the gift of death. When
Tx:17.49  can escape from your distress only by getting rid of each other. You  need not part entirely if you choose not to do so. But you must
Tx:17.75  it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the faith you  need for peace. But rise you not against it, for against your

Tx:18.29  darkness in them is offered to the light and is removed forever. My  need for you, joined with me in the holy light of your relationship,
Tx:18.29  you, joined with me in the holy light of your relationship, is your  need for salvation. Would I not give you what you gave to me? For
Tx:18.32  far greater than you can understand. It is your realization that you  need do so little that enables Him to give so much.
Tx:18.33  That is why you came. If you could come without them, you would not  need the holy instant. Come to it not in arrogance, assuming that you
Tx:18.34  He wills to be, you must be interfering with His Will. You do not  need the strength of willingness to come from you, but only from His
Tx:18.37  restore to me my own awareness of my readiness, which is eternal. I  need add nothing to His plan. But to receive it, I must be willing
Tx:18.39  You make it difficult because you insist there must be more that you  need do. [You find it difficult to accept the idea that you need give
Tx:18.39  that you need do. [You find it difficult to accept the idea that you  need give so little to receive so much.] And it is very hard for you

Tx:18.67  to both of you. You are prepared. Now you need but to remember you  need do nothing. It would be far more profitable now merely to
Tx:18.67  by anyone, it always comes with just one happy realization: “I  need do nothing.”
Tx:18.68  will one day find in his own way, at his own time. We do not  need this time. Time has been saved for you because you are together.
Tx:18.68  me by only this one preparation and practice, doing nothing else. “I  need do nothing” is a statement of allegiance, a truly undivided
Tx:18.69 To do anything involves the body. And if you recognize you  need do nothing, you have withdrawn the body's value from your mind.
Tx:18.69  right now. For here is time denied and past and future gone. Who  need do nothing has no need for time. To do nothing is to rest and
Tx:18.69  is time denied and past and future gone. Who need do nothing has no  need for time. To do nothing is to rest and make a place within you
Tx:18.95  itself is still beyond the scope of our curriculum. Nor is there any  need for us to try to speak of what must forever lie beyond words. We
Tx:18.95  for us to try to speak of what must forever lie beyond words. We  need remember only that whoever attains the real world, beyond which
Tx:19.39  brothers truly. And the light in them will show you all that you  need to see. When the peace in you has been extended to encompass
Tx:19.39  everyone, the Holy Spirit's function here will be accomplished. What  need is there for seeing then? When God has taken the last step
Tx:19.39  His most holy Son. And the Father will accept them in His Name. What  need is there of seeing in the presence of His gratitude?
Tx:19.98  He Who brought us here together will offer you the innocence you  need and that you will accept it for my love and His.
Tx:19.100 To look upon the fear of God does  need some preparation. Only the sane can look on stark insanity and
Tx:19.101  and forgiveness that would heal it gives way to fear. Brothers, you  need forgiveness of each other, for you will share in madness or in
Tx:20.8 I have great  need for lilies, for the Son of God has not forgiven me. And can I
Tx:20.11  you now. You will not see it with the body's eyes. Yet all you  need you have.
Tx:20.16  condition are adjustments necessary because they are not true. Who  need adjust to truth, which calls on only what he is, to understand?
Tx:20.29  and can no more enter than can their source. And therein lies your  need to see your brother sinless. In him is Heaven. See sin in him
Tx:20.32  they are all the same. Yet those who know that they are all the same  need not salvation. And each one finds his savior when he is ready to
Tx:20.33 The plan is not of you, nor  need you be concerned with anything except the part that has been
Tx:20.33  will see to it without your help. But think not that He does not  need your part to help Him with the rest. For in your part lies all
Tx:20.36  no stones to trip on and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you  need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt
Tx:20.36  one seeming difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. You  need take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only
Tx:20.41  used only as the Holy Spirit teaches, it has no function, for minds  need not the body to communicate. The sight that sees the body has no
Tx:20.58  end are still discrepant. And this produces great discomfort. This  need not be. This course requires almost nothing of you. It is
Tx:20.68  Rejoice in what is yours but for the asking and think not that you  need make either means or end. All this is given you who would but
Tx:20.71  Can such a savior help you? Would you turn in your distress and  need for help unto the helpless? Is the pitifully little the perfect
Tx:20.71  Judgment will seem to make your savior weak. Yet it is you who  need his strength. There is no problem, no event or situation, no
Tx:20.74  and the remedy. Believe them not, and they are gone. And all you  need to do is recognize you did this. Once you accept this simple
Tx:20.77  happily beside them in dancing brooks that never waste away, who  need persuade you to accept the gift of vision? And after vision, who
Tx:20.77  on this—you can behold the holiness God gave His Son. And never  need you think that there is something else for you to see.
Tx:21.5 There is no  need to learn through pain. And gentle lessons are acquired joyously
Tx:21.13  of you to learn this course. It is the same small willingness you  need to have your whole relationship transformed to joy; the little
Tx:21.14 This is the only thing that you  need do for vision, happiness, release from pain, and the complete
Tx:21.20 Perhaps you do not see the  need for you to give this little offering. Look closer, then, at what
Tx:21.32  you have accepted them completely instead of yours, you will have  need of them no longer. For faith and vision and belief are
Tx:21.53  Spirit can abide and where He is. He must have been there since the  need for Him arose and was fulfilled in the same instant. Such would
Tx:21.56  exists. The partially insane have access to it, and only they have  need of it. Knowledge does not depend on it, and madness keeps it out.
Tx:21.72  Those who are strong are never treacherous because they have no  need to dream of power and to act out their dream. How would an army
Tx:21.76  that are the same. This final question, which is indeed the last you  need decide, still seems to hold a threat the rest have lost for you.
Tx:21.78  to you that, as you look on the effects of sin in any form, all you  need do is simply ask yourself,
Tx:21.88  if what you desire you receive and happiness is constant, then you  need ask for it but once to have it always. And if you do not have it
Tx:22.1  long enslaved. Rejoice whom God hath joined have come together and  need no longer look on sin apart. No two can look on sin together,
Tx:22.2  of what you both believed and saw. And with their going is the  need for sin gone with them. Who has need for sin? Only the lonely
Tx:22.2  And with their going is the need for sin gone with them. Who has  need for sin? Only the lonely and alone who see their brothers
Tx:22.2  themselves. It is this difference, seen but not real, that makes the  need for sin, not real but seen, seem justified. And all this would
Tx:22.8  apart from His? Reason would tell you that this is no secret that  need be hidden as a sin. But a mistake indeed! Let not your fear of
Tx:22.9  convey to you what you can see. It reaches you directly without a  need to be interpreted to you. What needs interpretation must be
Tx:22.12  and make it plain. For his will be no alien tongue. He will  need no interpreter to you, for it was you who taught him what he
Tx:22.28 All you  need do to dwell in quiet here with Christ is share His vision.
Tx:22.45  What merely is needs no defense and offers none. Only illusions  need defense because of weakness. And how can it be difficult to walk
Tx:22.45  You are the strong ones in this seeming conflict. And you  need no defense. Everything that needs defense you do not want, for
Tx:22.50 Forget not, when you feel the  need arise to be defensive about anything, you have identified
Tx:23.6  it is to walk clean and redeemed and happy through a world in bitter  need of the redemption that your innocence bestows upon it! What can
Tx:23.19  laws that rule the world you made. And yet they govern nothing and  need not be broken; merely looked upon and gone beyond.
Tx:24.5  the same. And difference of any kind imposes orders of reality and a  need to judge that cannot be escaped.
Tx:24.19  has taken from him the gift that God would have him give to you. His  need to give it is as great as yours to have it. Let him forgive you
Tx:24.21 Here is your savior from your specialness. He is in  need of your acceptance of himself as part of you, as you for his.
Tx:24.42  in you looks only on the truth and sees no condemnation that could  need forgiveness. He is at peace because He sees no sin. Identify
Tx:24.44  to guide. Be glad that only Christ can lend you His while you have  need of them. They are illusions too, as much as yours. And yet,
Tx:24.59  It stands for you alone, as self-created, self-maintained, in  need of nothing, and unjoined with anything beyond the body. In its
Tx:25.21  and you cannot separate yourself from him nor from his Father. You  need no forgiveness, for the wholly pure have never sinned. Give then
Tx:25.26  the universe as God created it, but in some form adapted to the  need the Son of God believes he has. Corrected error is the error's
Tx:25.27  here has entered darkness, yet no one has entered it alone. [Nor  need he stay more than an instant.] For he has come with Heaven's
Tx:25.30  gentleness. It is not there in His forgiving eyes. And therefore it  need not be there in yours. Sin is the fixed belief perception cannot
Tx:25.31  of himself? Is this a sin or a mistake, forgivable or not? Does he  need help or condemnation? Is it your purpose that he be saved or
Tx:25.37  is no reason to perceive the Son of God as other than he is. The  need for guilt is gone because it has no purpose and is meaningless
Tx:25.41  to offer you the gift of sight God gave to him for you! He has no  need but this—that you allow him freedom to complete the task God
Tx:25.63  And so you would not learn it is your will to be without it. You  need not give it to Him wholly willingly, for if you could, you'd
Tx:25.63  not give it to Him wholly willingly, for if you could, you'd have no  need of Him. But this He needs—that you prefer He take it than that
Tx:25.75  it is impossible the Son of God could merit vengeance. You  need not perceive in every circumstance that this is true. Nor need
Tx:25.75  You need not perceive in every circumstance that this is true. Nor  need you look to your experience within the world, which is but
Tx:25.75  is really happening within yourself. The understanding which you  need comes not of you but from a larger Self, so great and holy that
Tx:25.75  has found a witness unto his sinlessness and not his sin. How little  need you give the Holy Spirit that simple justice may be given you!
Tx:26.10  the same respect and through the same approach. The aspects which  need solving do not change, whatever form the problem seems to take.
Tx:26.17  memory of His love kept perfectly intact and undefiled. And all you  need to do is but to wish that Heaven be given you instead of hell,
Tx:26.25  which total lack of limits lies. Nothing in boundless love could  need forgiveness. And what is charity within the world gives way to
Tx:26.28  be feared? What other miracle is there but this? And what else  need there be to make the space between you disappear?
Tx:26.43  at Heaven's gate. There is no hindrance to the Will of God nor any  need that you repeat again a journey that was over long ago. Look
Tx:26.90  with justice and with love. If you perceive injustice anywhere, you  need but say:
Tx:27.2  you make yourself to be the sign that he has lost his innocence and  need but look on you to realize that he has been condemned. And what
Tx:27.3  you consent to suffer pain, to be deprived, unfairly treated, or in  need of anything, you but accuse your brother of attack upon God's
Tx:27.21  even less, to reason with an argument for sickness such as this? And  need your healing be delayed because you pause to listen to insanity?
Tx:27.23  your brother, different from you in that he is more guilty, thus in  need of your correction as the one more innocent than he. This splits
Tx:27.34  to occupy the space so lately left unoccupied and vacant will not  need defense of any kind. For you will give it overwhelming
Tx:27.34  thus is God left free to take the final step Himself. [For this you  need no pictures and no learning aids.] And what will ultimately take
Tx:27.45  must be gone forever from your mind. For if it were, there'd be no  need for healing then. But it does mean, if only for an instant, you
Tx:27.53  given you when you accept the healing for yourself. Its total value  need not be appraised by you to let you understand that you have
Tx:27.60  Be witnesses unto the miracle and not the laws of sin. There is no  need to suffer any more. But there is need that you be healed,
Tx:27.60  the laws of sin. There is no need to suffer any more. But there is  need that you be healed, because the suffering of the world has made
Tx:27.64  as if the world were hurting you. And so it seems as if there is no  need to go beyond the obvious in terms of cause.
Tx:27.65 There is indeed a  need. The world's escape from condemnation is a need which those
Tx:27.65 There is indeed a need. The world's escape from condemnation is a  need which those within the world are joined in sharing. Yet they do
Tx:27.65  world are joined in sharing. Yet they do not recognize their common  need. For each one thinks that if he does his part, the condemnation
Tx:27.67  witness to the world of evil cannot speak except for what has seen a  need for evil in the world. And this is where your guilt was first
Tx:27.78  things, and tosses them away for senseless things it does not  need and does not even want. It hires other bodies, that they may
Tx:27.89  do not want to know. They seem to keep it secret from you. Yet you  need but learn you choose but not to listen, not to see. How
Tx:27.90  separate from the world and kept your brother separate from you. Now  need you but to learn that both of you are innocent or guilty. The
Tx:28.10  fear. No more have you. And so your innocence has not been lost. You  need no healing to be healed. In quietness, see in the miracle a
Tx:28.14  has done nothing. And in seeing this, he understands he never had a  need for doing anything and never did. His Cause is Its effects.
Tx:28.25  and the bodies which still seem to move about as separate things  need not be feared. And so they are not sick.
Tx:28.54  and no doubts. It does not wonder what it is. And so it has no  need to be competitive. It can be victimized but cannot feel itself
Tx:28.60 God asks for nothing, and His Son, like Him,  need ask for nothing. For there is no lack in him. An empty space, a
Tx:28.64  judged apart from its foundation. If it rests on straw, there is no  need to bar the door and lock the windows and make fast the bolts.
Tx:29.1  between you and His love through which you can escape if there be  need for you to flee.
Tx:29.42  to crucify God's Son. For even though it was a dream of death, you  need not let it stand for this to you. Let this be changed, and
Tx:29.49  of release in what appeared to be an endless circle of despair, you  need but to decide you do not know the purpose of the world. You give
Tx:29.56  and lets the truth shine unencumbered, being what it is. It does not  need belief to be itself, for it has been created, so it is. An idol
Tx:29.62  last while he is part of it. Judge not, for he who judges will have  need of idols which will hold the judgment off from resting on
Tx:29.64  but dream, and idols are the toys you dream you play with. Who has  need of toys but children? They pretend they rule the world and give
Tx:29.66  not to retain the toys of children. Put them all away, for you have  need of them no more. The dream of judgment is a children's game in
Tx:29.68 Forgiving dreams have little  need to last. They are not made to separate the mind from what it
Tx:30.1  becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is clear, but now you  need specific methods for attaining it. The speed by which it can be
Tx:30.1  they are more ideas than rules of thought to you as yet. So now we  need to practice them awhile, until they are the rules by which you
Tx:30.1  to make them habits now, so you will have them ready for whatever  need.
Tx:30.10  you have decided by yourself and cannot see the question. Now you  need a quick restorative before you ask.
Tx:30.20  being thrust upon you but is something that you want and that you  need, because you do not like the way you feel. This tiny opening
Tx:30.20  will be enough to let you go ahead with just a few more steps you  need to let yourself be helped.
Tx:30.28  dream of judgment has forever been undone. But meanwhile, you have  need for practicing the rules for its undoing. Let us, then, consider
Tx:30.38  that, by limiting, is all attained. It is as if you said, “I have no  need of everything. This little thing I want, and it will be as
Tx:30.42 Completion is the function of God's Son. He has no  need to seek for it at all. Beyond all idols stands his holy will to

Tx:30.54  simple choice that will forever place you far beyond deception. You  need not concern yourself with how this will be done, for this you
Tx:30.56  is plain. Dreams are for nothing. And the Son of God can have no  need of them. They offer him no single thing that he could ever want.
Tx:30.62  yourself and what you are, forgiveness washes joyfully away. Yet God  need not create His Son again that what is his be given back to him.
Tx:30.64  recognized Whose hand you hold! Within your hand is everything you  need to walk with perfect confidence away from fear forever and to go
Tx:31.13  which must be prepared, no time to be expended, and no plans that  need be laid for bringing in the new. There is an ancient battle
Tx:31.22  will be no attack upon the things you thought were precious and in  need of care. There will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call
Tx:31.22  you be asked to learn. But as you hear it, you will understand you  need but come away without the thoughts you did not want and that
Tx:31.29  to learn, to pardon, nor enslave. It gives no orders that the mind  need serve nor sets conditions that it must obey. It holds in prison
Tx:31.46  No one who makes a picture of himself omits this face, for he has  need of it. The other side he does not want to see. Yet it is here
Tx:31.52  something be kept hidden? If the world be evil, there is still no  need to hide what you are made of. Who is there to see? And what but
Tx:31.52  you are made of. Who is there to see? And what but is attacked could  need defense?
Tx:31.67  of your trust; a happy place to rest in for a while, where nothing  need be feared but only loved. Who is unwelcome to the kind in heart?
Tx:31.72  you may have the gift of kind forgiveness which you offer one whose  need for it is just the same as yours. And let the cruel concept of
Tx:31.73  dooms you to a bitter sense of deep depression and futility. Yet it  need not be fixed unless you choose to hold it past the hope of

W1:47.7  it is hardly a sufficient one in giving you the confidence which you  need and to which you are entitled. You must also gain an awareness
W1:49.3 We will  need at least four five-minute practice periods today and more if
W1:R1.4  special settings in which to apply what you have learned. You will  need it most in situations which appear to be upsetting, rather than

W1:65.10 You  need not use these exact words, but try to get a sense of being
W1:66.12 We  need great honesty today. Remember the outcomes fairly and consider
W1:67.6  thoughts. You may also find that this is not sufficient and that you  need to continue adding other thoughts related to the truth about
W1:67.7  today to practice the idea for today as often as you can. You  need to hear the truth about yourself as frequently as possible
W1:69.3  to reach what is dearer to us than all else. Salvation is our only  need. There is no other purpose here and no other function to
W1:70.4  you to be healed, and so He has kept the Source of healing where the  need for healing lies. You have tried to do just the opposite, making
W1:73.2  world you see. The wishes of the ego gave rise to it, and the ego's  need for grievances, which are necessary to maintain it, peoples it
W1:79.9 The shorter practice periods for today will not be set by time but by  need. You will see many problems today, each one calling for an
W1:85.4  to sight. The light of the world will shine all this away. I have no  need for this. I want to see.
W1:90.7 I  need not wait for this to be resolved. The answer to this problem is
W1:91.9 If you are not a body, what are you? You  need to be aware of what the Holy Spirit uses to replace the image of
W1:91.9  Holy Spirit uses to replace the image of a body in your mind. You  need to feel something to put your faith in, as you lift it from the
W1:91.9  something to put your faith in, as you lift it from the body. You  need a real experience of something else, something more solid and
W1:92.3  of itself—the small, the weak, the sickly and the dying, those in  need, the helpless and afraid, the sad, the poor, the starving, and
W1:95.4  have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline and of your  need for mind training. It is necessary that you be aware of this,

W1:99.4  one? What plan could hold the truth inviolate, yet recognize the  need illusions bring and offer means by which they are undone without
W1:99.14  to Him who shares your function here, and let Him teach you what you  need to learn to lay all fear aside and know your Self as Love Which
W1:101.5 You  need the practice periods today. The exercises teach sin is not real,
W1:102.7 Be happy, for your only function here is happiness. You have no  need to be less loving to God's Son than He Whose Love created him as

W1:R3.10 Here is another chance to use it well. In these reviews we stress the  need to let your learning not lie idly by between your longer

W1:R3.12  to serve you in all ways, all times and places, and whenever you  need help of any kind. Try, then, to take it with you in the business
W1:R3.14  not forget how much you can learn now. Do not forget your Father's  need of you as you review these thoughts He gave to you.
W1:125.9 Only be quiet. You will  need no rule but this to let your practicing today lift you above the
W1:126.8  understand the truth that giver and receiver are the same. You will  need help to make this meaningful because it is so alien to the
W1:126.8  alien to the thoughts to which you are accustomed. But the Help you  need is there. Give Him your faith today and ask Him that He share

Tx:5.62 However ridiculous the idea of attacking God may be to the sane mind,  never forget that the ego is not sane. It represents a delusional
Tx:5.85  Spirit's set is the basis for His unequivocal Voice. The Holy Spirit  never changes His Mind. Clarity of thought cannot occur under
Tx:5.88  his thought system, the “threat” of fixation remained and could  never be eliminated by any living human being. Essentially, this was
Tx:5.89  creation, and the pull of this fixation is so strong that you will  never overcome it. The reason is perfectly clear. The fixation is on
Tx:6.11  because I had learned I could not be abandoned. Peter swore he would  never deny me, but he did so three times. He did offer to defend me
Tx:6.14 When you hear only one voice, you are  never called on to sacrifice. On the contrary, by enabling yourselves
Tx:6.20  thinking myself. If the Apostles had not felt guilty, they  never could have quoted me as saying, “I come not to bring peace but
Tx:6.34  God. He tells you to return your whole mind to God, because it has  never left Him. If it has never left Him, you need only perceive it
Tx:6.34  your whole mind to God, because it has never left Him. If it has  never left Him, you need only perceive it as it is to be returned.
Tx:6.34  of the Atonement, then, is the recognition that the separation  never occurred. The ego cannot prevail against this because it is an
Tx:6.34  against this because it is an explicit statement that the ego  never occurred.
Tx:6.35  Holy Spirit tells you that even return is unnecessary because what  never happened cannot involve any problem. It does not follow,
Tx:6.40  no barrier at all to the communication of God. Thus, being is  never threatened. Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. The ego
Tx:6.40  of God. Thus, being is never threatened. Your Godlike mind can  never be defiled. The ego never was and never will be part of it, but
Tx:6.40  is never threatened. Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. The ego  never was and never will be part of it, but through the ego you can
Tx:6.40  Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. The ego never was and  never will be part of it, but through the ego you can hear and teach
Tx:6.41  so will you learn.” If that is true, and it is true indeed, you must  never forget that what you teach is teaching you. What you project
Tx:6.46  raised the first question that was ever asked, but one which it can  never answer. That question, “What are you?” was the beginning of
Tx:6.47 The ego has  never answered any questions since, although it has raised a great
Tx:6.47  raised a great many. The most inventive activities of the ego have  never done more than obscure the question, because you have the
Tx:6.51  certain. There is no doubt there because the first question was  never asked. Having finally been wholly answered, it has never been.
Tx:6.51  was never asked. Having finally been wholly answered, it has  never been. Being alone lives in the Kingdom, where everything lives
Tx:6.53  it. You have a model to follow who will strengthen your command and  never detract from it in any way. You therefore retain the central
Tx:6.55 That is why the Holy Spirit  never commands. To command is to assume inequality, which the Holy

Tx:7.8  it or Who He is. God does not reveal this to you, because it was  never hidden. His light was never obscured, because it is His Will to
Tx:7.8  not reveal this to you, because it was never hidden. His light was  never obscured, because it is His Will to share it. How can what is
Tx:7.15  translator, although he must alter the form of what he translates,  never changes the meaning. In fact, his whole purpose is to change
Tx:7.30  reality is to question meaninglessly. That is why the Holy Spirit  never questions. His sole function is to undo the questionable and
Tx:7.36  as the Holy Spirit's, and it is because of this that their goals can  never be reconciled in any way or to any extent. The ego always seeks
Tx:7.45  not gladden. Healing does. Fear always makes exceptions. Healing  never does. Fear produces dissociation, because it induces
Tx:7.48  the Holy Spirit in him. It is only the Holy Spirit in him that  never changes His Mind. He himself must think he can, or he would not
Tx:7.49  better, an idol which you may worship out of fear but which you will  never love. The other shows you only truth, which you will love,
Tx:7.54  it that you will not attribute to all of it. That is why attack is  never discrete and why attack must be relinquished entirely. If it is
Tx:7.56  and this must be a source of extreme anxiety. That is why the ego  never knows what it is doing. It is perfectly logical but clearly
Tx:7.61  peace. It is necessary against beliefs which are not true and would  never have been called upon by the Holy Spirit if you had not
Tx:7.71  all of it. Mind is too powerful to be subject to exclusion. You will  never be able to exclude yourself from what you project.
Tx:7.78 Attack could  never promote attack unless you perceived it as a means of depriving
Tx:7.87  belief. The ego is therefore a confusion in identification which  never had a consistent model and never developed consistently. It is

Tx:7.97 Be confident that you have  never lost your identity and the extensions which maintain it in
Tx:7.103  decision mean except that you want to be fearful? The Holy Spirit  never asks for sacrifice, but the ego always does. When you are
Tx:8.9  to whom a Son of God should turn to find himself? The ego has  never given you a sensible answer to anything. Simply on the grounds
Tx:8.10  will is free. That is why the ego is the denial of free will. It is  never God who coerces you because He shares His Will with you. His
Tx:8.19  treat yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself.  Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose sight of
Tx:8.21  imprisoned or released according to your decision, and so will you.  Never forget your responsibility to him, because it is your
Tx:8.41  can obscure the one for which God's Voice speaks in all of us.  Never accord the ego the power to interfere with the journey because
Tx:8.41  for my hand, because you want to transcend the ego. My will will  never be wanting, and if you want to share it you will. I give it
Tx:8.48  choose. This choice does make the Son's function unknown to him, but  never to his Creator. And because it is not unknown to his Creator,
Tx:8.51  you are forever. It is a journey without distance to a goal that has  never changed. Truth can only be experienced. It cannot be described,
Tx:8.60  why the world is depressing. The Holy Spirit's curriculum is  never depressing, because it is a curriculum of joy. Whenever the

Tx:8.78  without violating your will, which the Holy Spirit seeks to free but  never to command.
Tx:8.94  have. We have emphasized many times that the Holy Spirit will  never call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if you ask the
Tx:8.96  teacher who could not possibly teach you your will. Of him you can  never learn it, and this gives you the illusion of safety. Yet you
Tx:8.98  do not want, you are asking for what cannot be given, because it was  never created. It was never created, because it was never your will
Tx:8.98  for what cannot be given, because it was never created. It was  never created, because it was never your will for you.
Tx:8.98  because it was never created. It was never created, because it was  never your will for you.
Tx:8.101  God could not will that happiness depended on what you could  never have.
Tx:8.103  want. How real can this devotion be? If you do not want it, it was  never created. If it was never created, it is nothing. Can you really
Tx:8.103  devotion be? If you do not want it, it was never created. If it was  never created, it is nothing. Can you really devote yourself to
Tx:8.110 If you would know your prayers are answered,  never doubt a Son of God. Do not question him and do not confound
Tx:8.117  Never forget, then, that you have set the value on what you receive
Tx:9.18  of finding satisfaction in reality. Yet it is certain that he will  never find satisfaction in fantasy, so that his only hope is to

Tx:9.41  of you really is. He is not deceived by anything you do, because He  never forgets what you are. The ego is deceived by everything you do,
Tx:9.54  Yet it must be insane because it is not true. Your grandeur will  never deceive you, but your illusions always will. Illusions are
Tx:9.63  changeless, and refuse to change your mind about yourself. God will  never decide against you, or He would be deciding against Himself.
Tx:9.77  minds which are too divided to know that creation shares power and  never usurps it. Sickness is idolatry, because it is the belief that
Tx:9.89  are endowing them with chaos and accepting it of them. All this has  never been. Nothing but the laws of God has ever operated, and
Tx:9.92  are obscured. Yet God has kept the spark alive so that the rays can  never be completely forgotten. If you but see the little spark, you
Tx:9.93  of the god of sickness are strange and very demanding. Joy is  never permitted, for depression is the sign of allegiance to him.
Tx:9.96  If you were, what you have made would be true, and you could  never escape.
Tx:9.100  of Him. When you acknowledge Him, you will know that He has  never ceased to acknowledge you and that in His acknowledgment of you
Tx:9.102  you were insane. Would you have Him share your insanity? God will  never cease to love His Son, and His Son will never cease to love
Tx:9.102  insanity? God will never cease to love His Son, and His Son will  never cease to love Him. That was the condition of His Son's
Tx:10.2  It sounds insane when it is stated with perfect honesty, but the ego  never looks upon what it does with perfect honesty. Yet that is its
Tx:10.15  Spirit only because He speaks for you. He is the Voice for God, but  never forget that God did not will to be alone. He shares His Will
Tx:10.21 You will  never rest until you know your function and fulfill it, for only in
Tx:10.23  you, but you cannot. You do not know how, for if you did you could  never have grown weary. Unless you have hurt yourselves, you could
Tx:10.23  never have grown weary. Unless you have hurt yourselves, you could  never suffer in any way, for that is not God's Will for His Son. Pain
Tx:10.27  to be glorious and gave him the light that shines in him. You will  never lose your way, for God leads you. When you wander, you but
Tx:10.28  is not in them. Do not be deceived by the dark comforters, and  never let them enter the Mind of God's Son, for they have no place in
Tx:10.31  Never forget that the Sonship is your salvation, for the Sonship is
Tx:10.32  has denied him? God's laws hold only for your protection, and they  never hold in vain. What you experience when you deny your Father is
Tx:10.53  characteristically contradictory approach of the ego to everything.  Never forget that the ego believes that power, understanding, and
Tx:10.71 The ego sees some good but  never only good. That is why its perceptions are so variable. It does
Tx:11.2  analysis of ego-motivation is very complicated, very obscuring, and  never without the risk of your own ego-involvement. The whole process
Tx:11.26  poverty as yours. If you had not invested as they had, it would  never occur to you to overlook their need.
Tx:11.27  He is asking for salvation, as you are. Poverty is of the ego and  never of God. No “outrageous” request can be made of one who
Tx:11.28  the “what” and the “how” of salvation, and this is the only answer.  Never lose sight of this, and never allow yourself to believe even
Tx:11.28  and this is the only answer. Never lose sight of this, and  never allow yourself to believe even for an instant that there is
Tx:11.36  that love is dangerous, and this is always its central teaching. It  never puts it this way; on the contrary, everyone who believes that
Tx:11.39  and the goal He sets before you He will give you. For He will  never deceive God's Son, whom He loves with the love of the Father.
Tx:11.45 You will  never realize the utter uselessness of attack except by recognizing
Tx:11.45  For you are always the first point of your attack, and if this has  never been, it has no consequences.
Tx:11.54  you always, He cannot let you forget your worth. For the Father  never ceases to remind Him of His Son, and He never ceases to remind
Tx:11.54  worth. For the Father never ceases to remind Him of His Son, and He  never ceases to remind His Son of the Father. God is in your memory
Tx:11.58  And then the real world will spring to your sight, for Christ has  never slept. He is waiting to be seen, for He has never lost sight of
Tx:11.58  for Christ has never slept. He is waiting to be seen, for He has  never lost sight of you. He looks quietly on the real world, which He
Tx:11.74  of death as God knows you are deserving of life. The death penalty  never leaves the ego's mind, for that is what it always reserves for
Tx:11.76  also given it to you? When you learn to make me manifest, you will  never see death. For you will have looked upon the deathless in
Tx:11.77  you cannot see it. If you seek love in order to attack it, you will  never find it. For if love is sharing, how can you find it except
Tx:11.80 Because of your Father's love you can  never forget Him, for no one can forget what God Himself placed in
Tx:11.82 Everything you made has  never been and is invisible because the Holy Spirit does not see it.
Tx:11.83  could you find? The unreal world is a thing of despair, for it can  never be. And you who share God's Being with Him could never be
Tx:11.83  for it can never be. And you who share God's Being with Him could  never be content without reality. What God did not give you has no
Tx:11.84  for only perception is capable of error, and perception has  never been. Being corrected, it gives place to knowledge, which is
Tx:11.84  the only reality. The Atonement is but the way back to what was  never lost. Your Father could not cease to love His Son.
Tx:11.88  he has given only love. He cannot be condemned because he has  never condemned. The Atonement is the final lesson he need learn, for
Tx:11.88  is the final lesson he need learn, for it teaches him that,  never having sinned, he has no need of salvation.
Tx:11.90  it dear. For the blamelessness of Christ is the proof that the ego  never was and can never be. Without guilt the ego has no life, and
Tx:11.90  blamelessness of Christ is the proof that the ego never was and can  never be. Without guilt the ego has no life, and God's Son is without
Tx:11.92  cannot hurt himself. The retaliation he fears and which he sees will  never touch him, for although he believes in it, the Holy Spirit
Tx:11.97  is, for by accepting your guiltlessness, you learn that the past has  never been, and so the future is needless. The future, in time, is
Tx:11.97  way of reminding you of His Son and what he is in truth. For God has  never condemned His Son, and being guiltless, he is eternal.
Tx:11.99  Spirit dispels it simply through the calm recognition that it has  never been. As He looks upon the guiltless Son of God, he knows this
Tx:12.9  immortal. And you will see that you were redeemed with him and have  never been separated from him. In this understanding lies your
Tx:12.34  that private worlds do differ. Yet the figures that he sees were  never real, for they are made up only of his reactions to his
Tx:12.39  you have offered yourself is not true, but His offering to you has  never changed. You who know not what you do can learn what insanity
Tx:12.53  will return your thanks in His clear answer to your call. For it can  never be that His Son called upon Him and remained unanswered. His
Tx:12.57  Continuous with his Father, he has no past apart from Him. So he has  never ceased to be his Father's witness and his own. Although he
Tx:12.57  that he can call unto himself the witnesses that teach him that he  never slept.
Tx:12.61  it has disappointed you since time began. The homes you built have  never sheltered you. The roads you made have led you nowhere, and no
Tx:12.65  love surrounds him without end or flaw. Disturbance of his peace can  never be. In perfect sanity he looks on love, for it is all about him
Tx:12.71  them. What comes to you of Him comes safely, for He will ensure it  never can become a dark spot, hidden in your mind and kept to hurt
Tx:13.2  be yours, for in you is all knowledge. Perception at its loftiest is  never complete. Even the perception of the Holy Spirit, as perfect as
Tx:13.10  know, and as they reach the gates of Heaven, God will open them. For  never would He leave His own beloved Son outside them and beyond
Tx:13.25  within, where you would always find Atonement. The end of guilt will  never come as long as you believe there is a reason for it. For you
Tx:13.34  the Kingdom, guilt melts away and, transformed into kindness, will  never more be what it was. Every reaction that you experience will be
Tx:13.34  Father. See only praise of Him in what He has created, for He will  never cease His praise of you. United in this praise, we stand before
Tx:13.46  for you and by you in return. For how can you remember what was  never true or not remember what has always been? It is this
Tx:13.53  therefore, must begin His teaching by showing you what you can  never learn. His message is not indirect, but He must introduce the
Tx:13.54  so confused you that you have undertaken to learn to do what you can  never do, believing that unless you learn it, you will not be happy.
Tx:13.60  seemed hardest was the easiest. Learn to be happy learners. You will  never learn how to make nothing everything. Yet see that this has
Tx:13.64  about learning. This is so essential to learning that it should  never be forgotten. The guiltless learner learns so easily because
Tx:13.75 It will  never happen that you will have to make decisions for yourself. You
Tx:13.75  He Who gives you everything will simply offer it to you? He will  never ask what you have done to make you worthy of the gift of God.
Tx:13.79  out of insanity. Madness may be your choice, but not your reality.  Never forget the love of God, Who has remembered you. For it is quite
Tx:13.84 He leadeth me and knows the way, which I know not. Yet He will  never keep from me what He would have me learn. And so I trust Him to
Tx:14.4  exist, for what is not in communication with the Mind of God has  never been. Communication with God is life. Nothing without it is at
Tx:14.8  Bring innocence to light in answer to the call of the Atonement.  Never allow purity to remain hidden, but shine away the heavy veils
Tx:14.37  joins Himself to those He gives the power to create like Him can  never be dissolved. Heaven itself is union with all of creation and
Tx:14.38  between what always was and now. The past which you remember  never was and represents only the denial of what always was.
Tx:14.49  but seems to think. The result is a weaving, changing pattern which  never rests and is never still. It shifts unceasingly across the
Tx:14.49  The result is a weaving, changing pattern which never rests and is  never still. It shifts unceasingly across the mirror of your mind,
Tx:14.62  exchange each one for the bright lesson He has learned for you.  Never believe that any lesson you have learned apart from Him means
Tx:14.69  to light, having accepted them instead of you and recognized they  never were. There are no dark lessons He has not already lightened
Tx:14.71  have always created like your Father. The miracle of creation has  never ceased, having the holy stamp of immortality upon it. This is
Tx:14.72  test of perfect peace, for peace and understanding go together and  never can be found alone. Each brings the other with it, for it is
Tx:14.74  you must abandon the teacher of attack. The Teacher of peace will  never abandon you. You can desert Him, but He will never reciprocate,
Tx:14.74  of peace will never abandon you. You can desert Him, but He will  never reciprocate, for His faith in you is His understanding. It is
Tx:15.4  seen this strange paradox in the ego's thought system before, but  never so clearly as here. For the ego must seem to keep fear from you
Tx:15.13 You will  never give this holy instant to the Holy Spirit on behalf of your
Tx:15.15  what time is for. Holiness lies not in time but in eternity. There  never was an instant in which God's Son could lose his purity. His
Tx:15.21  of the power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you will  never deny it again. Who can deny the Presence of what the universe
Tx:15.22  but be sure you understand what littleness is and why you could  never be content with it. Littleness is the offering you gave
Tx:15.50  both. Yet you had judged against yourself first, or you would  never have imagined that you needed them as they were not. Unless you
Tx:15.73  wounding them, perhaps in little ways, perhaps “unconsciously,” yet  never without demand of sacrifice. The fury of those joined at the
Tx:15.80  seek in them what you have thrown away. And through them you will  never learn the value of what you have cast aside but what you still
Tx:15.81 Relate only with what will  never leave you and what you can never leave. The loneliness of God's
Tx:15.81 Relate only with what will never leave you and what you can  never leave. The loneliness of God's Son is the loneliness of his
Tx:15.87  by which it tries to turn its purpose into accomplishment. This will  never be accomplished. Yet you have surely recognized that the ego,
Tx:15.97  be yours. While it is obvious that the ego does demand payment, it  never seems to be demanding it of you. For you are unwilling to
Tx:15.97  treacherous only to those who think they are its host. The ego will  never let you perceive this, since this recognition would make it
Tx:16.2  and in certain people. These it selects out and joins with. And it  never joins except to strengthen itself. [Having identified with what
Tx:16.5  know. You are not sure that He will do His part because you have  never yet done yours completely. You will not know how to respond to
Tx:16.6  He the Teacher. Do not confuse your role with His, for this will  never bring peace to anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it is His
Tx:16.16  acknowledge Him is to deny all that you think you know. But it was  never true. What gain is there to you in clinging to it and denying
Tx:16.16  little while. The Host of God has called to you, and you have heard.  Never again will you be wholly willing not to listen.
Tx:16.19  and will give you everything that makes for happiness. You have  never given any problem to the Holy Spirit He has not solved for you,
Tx:16.19  Spirit He has not solved for you, nor will you ever do so. You have  never tried to solve anything yourself and been successful. Is it not
Tx:16.23  is equally impossible that conviction be outside of you. You could  never have taught freedom unless you did believe in it. And it must
Tx:16.25  real has ever left the mind of its creator. And what is not real was  never there.
Tx:16.31  translated quietly from war to peace. For the illusion of love will  never satisfy, but its reality, which awaits you on the other side,
Tx:16.33  not love but hate. For hate is an illusion, and what can change was  never love. It is certain that those who select certain ones as
Tx:16.35  that you perceive hatred within and are afraid of it. Yet peace will  never come from the illusion of love, but only from its reality.
Tx:16.37  the acceptance of the oneness of creation, without which you could  never be complete. No specialness can offer you what God has given
Tx:16.40  wholly without fear. Whom God remembers must be whole. And God has  never forgotten what makes Him whole. In your completion lies the
Tx:16.46  believe this specialness is not hell, but Heaven. For the ego would  never have you see that separation can only be loss, being the one
Tx:16.53  his death. Over and over and over this ritual is enacted. And it is  never completed nor ever will be completed. For the ritual of
Tx:16.54  expense of content. There is no meaning in the form, and there will  never be. The special relationship must be recognized for what it is
Tx:16.74  of love is not profoundly shaken. Yet the one thing which the ego  never allows to reach awareness is that the special relationship is
Tx:17.8  and beyond all ugliness into beauty that will enchant you and will  never cease to cause you wonderment at its perfection.
Tx:17.25  or illusion, freedom or slavery—it is all the same. For you can  never choose except between God and the ego. Thought systems are but
Tx:17.30  relationship with God restored to you. The relationship with Him has  never been broken because the Holy Spirit has not been separate from
Tx:17.43  is a practical device, witnessed to by its results. The holy instant  never fails. The experience of it is always felt. Yet without
Tx:17.45  the unholy relationship has accepted the goal of holiness, it can  never again be what it was.
Tx:17.51  you have chosen but the goal of God from which your true intent was  never absent.
Tx:17.66  that. The error does not matter. Faithlessness brought to faith will  never interfere with truth. But faithlessness used against truth will
Tx:17.71  you were. Yet you are as innocent of what you were as he is. What  never was is causeless and is not there to interfere with truth.
Tx:17.77  else, believing that the “something else” produced it. This was  never true. For what the “something else” produced was sorrow and
Tx:17.79  has not changed and will not change, for you accepted what can  never change. And nothing that it needs to be forever changeless can
Tx:18.2 The Holy Spirit  never uses substitutes. Where the ego perceives one person as a
Tx:18.8  calm within, where in holy stillness dwells the living God you  never left and Who never left you. The Holy Spirit takes you gently
Tx:18.8  where in holy stillness dwells the living God you never left and Who  never left you. The Holy Spirit takes you gently by the hand and
Tx:18.10  are so firmly joined in truth that only God is there. And He would  never accept something else instead of you. He loves you both,
Tx:18.23  with the Will of God. And what this will would have accomplished has  never not been done.
Tx:18.34 Humility will  never ask that you remain content with littleness. But it does
Tx:18.40  but has already happened. And that is why the past has gone. It  never happened in reality. Only in your minds, which thought it did,
Tx:18.41 Prepare you not for the undoing of what  never was. If you already understood the difference between truth and
Tx:18.42  Never approach the holy instant after you have tried to remove all
Tx:18.42  to remove all fear and hatred from your mind. That is its function.  Never attempt to overlook your guilt before you ask the Holy Spirit's
Tx:18.46  this instant for the holy one which you would rather have. He will  never fail in this. But forget not that your relationship is one, and
Tx:18.46  of you to experience fear alone or to attempt to deal with it alone.  Never believe that this is necessary or even possible. Yet just as
Tx:18.51  it can make fantasies and direct the body to act them out. Yet it is  never what the body does that seems to satisfy. Unless the mind
Tx:18.64  really trying to make still more, but there is one thing you have  never done—not for one instant have you utterly forgotten the body.
Tx:18.64  of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will see the body again, but  never quite the same. And every instant that you spend without
Tx:18.65  the body exist at all. It is always remembered or anticipated, but  never experienced just now. Only its past and future make it seem
Tx:18.65  and future make it seem real. Time controls it entirely, for sin is  never present. In any single instant, the attraction of guilt would
Tx:18.88  must always depend on keeping it not seen. The body's eyes will  never look on it. Yet they will see what it dictates.
Tx:18.96  that is what needs to be undone. Love is not learned because there  never was a time in which you knew it not. Learning is useless in the
Tx:19.1  be safely assumed. Yet we also said that peace without faith will  never be attained, for what is wholly dedicated to truth as its only
Tx:19.3  acting accordingly; seeing what is not there, hearing what truth has  never said, and behaving insanely, being imprisoned by insanity.
Tx:19.8  separation is and where it must be healed. The result of an idea is  never separate from its source. The idea of separation produced the
Tx:19.40  its tranquil dwelling-place from which it gently reaches out but  never leaving you. If you would make it homeless, how can it abide
Tx:19.48  See but how easily this little wisp is lifted up and carried away,  never to return, and part with it in gladness, not regret. For it is
Tx:19.49 The attraction of guilt produces fear of love, for love would  never look on guilt at all. It is the nature of love to look upon
Tx:19.65  of your forgiveness, he will remember who he is and forget what  never was. I ask for your forgiveness, for if you are guilty, so must
Tx:19.70  that lies in it will come with it, and what you think you are can  never be apart from it. The body is the great seeming betrayer of
Tx:19.92  is but the solemn vow, the promise made in secret to the ego  never to lift this veil, not to approach it nor even to suspect that
Tx:19.92  the veil forever blotted out and unremembered. Here is your promise  never to allow union to call you out of separation; the great amnesia
Tx:19.93  friends. For in your secret alliance with them, you have agreed  never to let the fear of God be lifted so you could look upon the
Tx:19.94  body is given up in favor of the Spirit, which you love as you could  never love the body. And the appeal of death is lost forever as
Tx:19.95 And now you stand in terror before what you swore  never to look upon. Your eyes look down, remembering your promise to
Tx:20.12  in love. The song of Easter is the glad refrain the Son of God was  never crucified. Let us lift up our eyes together, not in fear, but
Tx:20.37  and finding what was lost. Only in time can anything be lost, and  never lost forever. So do the parts of God's Son gradually join in
Tx:20.39  cannot even see it? Judge not what is invisible to you or you will  never see it, but wait in patience for its coming. It will be given
Tx:20.40  is of those who do not see. Vision or judgment is your choice, but  never both of these.
Tx:20.42 You look upon each holy instant as a different point in time. It  never changes. All that it ever held or will ever hold is here right
Tx:20.47 Idols accept, but  never make return. They can be loved, but cannot love. They do not
Tx:20.49  enter. The Holy Spirit does not build His temples where love can  never be. Would He Who sees the face of Christ choose as His home the
Tx:20.50 You cannot make the body the Holy Spirit's temple, and it will  never be the seat of love. It is the home of the idolater and of
Tx:20.63  Here are illusions and reality kept separated. Here are illusions  never brought to truth and always hidden from it. And here in
Tx:20.67  which you closed off by valuing the “something else,” and what was  never lost will quietly return. It has been saved for you. Vision
Tx:20.72  will stand condemned before you. All that could save you, you will  never see. Your holy relationship, the source of your salvation, will
Tx:20.74  purpose is no longer held, they disappear. Therefore, the question  never is whether you want them, but always, do you want the purpose
Tx:20.77  life-giving water running happily beside them in dancing brooks that  never waste away, who need persuade you to accept the gift of vision?
Tx:20.77  just on this—you can behold the holiness God gave His Son. And  never need you think that there is something else for you to see.
Tx:21.3  Never forget the world the sightless “see” must be imagined, for what
Tx:21.18  now you see it. Give it away, and everything you see goes with it.  Never was so much given for so little. In the holy instant is this
Tx:21.28  you are independent of the Source by which you were created and have  never left.
Tx:21.30  the persistence that faith inevitably brings. The power of faith is  never recognized if it is placed in sin. But it is always recognized
Tx:21.41 The Holy Spirit will  never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will correct, but this
Tx:21.43  looked within and saw no sin? This “fearful” question is one the ego  never asks. And you who ask it now are threatening the ego's whole
Tx:21.49  belief in what you are. Perception is a witness but to this and  never to reality. Yet it can show you the conditions in which
Tx:21.49  in which awareness of reality is possible or those where it could  never be.
Tx:21.50  you made directs your destiny. For this will be your faith. But  never believe because it is your faith it makes reality.
Tx:21.54 God's plan is simple— never circular and never self-defeating. He has no Thoughts except
Tx:21.54 God's plan is simple—never circular and  never self-defeating. He has no Thoughts except the Self-extending,
Tx:21.56  in insanity, for it depends entirely on reason's absence. The ego  never uses it because it does not realize that it exists. The
Tx:21.58  have shifted, and you have asked the question which the ego will  never ask. Does not your reason tell you now the question must have
Tx:21.64  sin instead of healing, you would condemn the Son of God to what can  never be corrected. You tell him by your choice that he is damned—

Tx:21.90  now, for time is powerless because of your desire for what will  never change. For you have asked that nothing stand between the
Tx:22.1  look on sin apart. No two can look on sin together, for they could  never see it in the same place and time. Sin is a strictly individual
Tx:22.4  the Son of God. For what is born into a holy relationship can  never end.
Tx:22.7  no messages at all you understand. For you have listened to what can  never communicate at all. Think, then, what happened. Denying what
Tx:22.12  he knows because you knew it. He could not come to anyone but you,  never to “something else.” Where Christ has entered, no one is alone,
Tx:22.12  to “something else.” Where Christ has entered, no one is alone, for  never could He find a home in separate ones. Yet must He be reborn
Tx:22.34 These eyes, made not to see, will  never see. For the idea they represent left not its maker, and it is
Tx:22.63  if only the different can attack. Either could be maintained, but  never both. The only question to be answered to decide which must be

Tx:23.11  are a body, you will believe you have forgotten it. Yet truth can  never be forgotten by itself, and you have not forgotten what you
Tx:23.15  as real, the other vanquished and despised. Here will the Father  never be remembered. Yet no illusion can invade His home and drive
Tx:23.16  Him. Over His home the Holy Spirit watches, sure that its peace can  never be disturbed.
Tx:23.19 The “laws” of chaos can be brought to light, though  never understood. Chaotic laws are hardly meaningful and therefore
Tx:23.23  between the Father and the Son. Now it appears that they can  never be one again. For one must always be condemned and by the
Tx:23.27  loss becomes your gain, and thus it fails to recognize that you can  never take away save from yourself. Yet all the other laws must lead
Tx:23.29  most treacherous and cunning enemy? It must be what you want but  never found. And now you “understand” the reason why you found it
Tx:23.31  Never is your possession made complete. And never will your brother
Tx:23.31 Never is your possession made complete. And  never will your brother cease his attack on you for what you stole.
Tx:23.36  them for the form they take and do not recognize the content. It  never changes. Can you paint rosy lips upon a skeleton, dress it in
Tx:23.37  eternal barrier to Heaven. Illusions are but forms. Their content is  never true.
Tx:23.44  of it? It can be kept shining before your vision, forever clear and  never out of sight if you defend it not.
Tx:23.48  what it creates? And can it offer its creations all that it is and  never suffer loss?
Tx:23.51  clash of forms is meaningless. And it is over when you realize it  never was begun. How can a battle be perceived as nothingness when
Tx:23.55 Those with the strength of God in their awareness could  never think of battle. What could they gain but loss of their
Tx:24.4 Beliefs will  never openly attack each other, because conflicting outcomes are
Tx:24.4  to war in secret, where the results of conflict are kept unknown and  never brought to reason to be considered sensible or not. And many
Tx:24.8  in specialness; his friend in a shared purpose. Specialness can  never share, for it depends on goals that you alone can reach. And he
Tx:24.8  share, for it depends on goals that you alone can reach. And he must  never reach them, or your goal is jeopardized. Can love have meaning
Tx:24.11  wage against him. Here must he be your enemy and not your friend.  Never can there be peace among the different. He is your friend
Tx:24.14  like to itself and not like unto Him. His “special” sons are many,  never one, each one in exile from himself and Him of Whom they are a
Tx:24.16 You can defend your specialness, but  never will you hear the Voice for God beside it. They speak a
Tx:24.17  place. This is the only “cost” of truth: you will no longer see what  never was, nor hear what makes no sound. Is it a sacrifice to give up
Tx:24.22  both might share the universe with Him Who chose that love could  never be divided and kept separate from what it is and must forever
Tx:24.28  you. It can be thrown off balance by anything. What rests on nothing  never can be stable. However large and overblown it seems to be, it
Tx:24.29  that is what it is—a secret vow that what God wants for you will  never be and that you will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it
Tx:24.47  completion is His Own. He Who willed not to be without His Son could  never will that you be brotherless. And would He give a brother unto
Tx:24.49  be sure that God is knowable and will be known to you. For He could  never leave His own creation. And the sign that this is so lies in
Tx:24.56  is given you to take from him that both may end a journey that has  never been begun and needs no end. What never was is not a part of
Tx:24.56  may end a journey that has never been begun and needs no end. What  never was is not a part of you. Yet you will think it is until you
Tx:24.58  you a part of Him to save from pain and give you happiness. And  never doubt but that your specialness will disappear before the Will
Tx:24.59  fully justified, you have pursued this goal with vigilance you  never thought to yield and effort that you never thought to cease.
Tx:24.59  goal with vigilance you never thought to yield and effort that you  never thought to cease. And all this grim determination was for this
Tx:25.6  have you be. And always is it faithful to your purpose from which it  never separates nor gives the slightest witness unto anything the
Tx:25.6  a part of what it is your purpose to behold, for means and end are  never separate. And thus you learn what seems to have a life apart
Tx:25.8  as all your brothers join as one in truth. Christ and His Father  never have been separate, and Christ abides within your understanding
Tx:25.10  as one is meaningless. It is apparent that a mind so split could  never be the teacher of a Oneness which unites all things within
Tx:25.14  on grounds that it will suddenly succeed and bring what it has  never brought before?
Tx:25.21  from his Father. You need no forgiveness, for the wholly pure have  never sinned. Give then what He has given you that you may see His
Tx:25.22  darkness into light be yours to share; that you may see as one what  never has been separate nor apart from all God's love as given
Tx:25.27  elsewhere from their home, as if they lit a place where they could  never be, and you agree, then must the Maker of the world correct
Tx:25.30  it must have been an error, not a sin. For what it claimed could  never be has been. Sin is attacked by punishment and so preserved.
Tx:25.31 The Son of God could  never sin, but he can wish for what would hurt him. And he has the
Tx:25.35  And from you will the rest you found extend, so that your peace can  never fall away and leave you homeless. Those who offer peace to
Tx:25.68  the chill of fear comes over them when they are told that they have  never sinned. Their world depends on sin's stability. And they
Tx:25.77  what justice must accord the Son of God. Let love decide and  never fear that you in your unfairness will deprive yourself of what
Tx:25.85  denied. Seek to deprive, and you have been deprived. A miracle can  never be received because another could receive it not. Only
Tx:26.2  built a wall so seeming solid that it looks as if what is inside can  never reach without, and what is out can never reach and join with
Tx:26.2  as if what is inside can never reach without, and what is out can  never reach and join with what is locked away within the wall. Each
Tx:26.8  he make, and only one was given him by One Who knows His gifts can  never suffer sacrifice and loss. God's justice rests in gentleness
Tx:26.22  short of Heaven, for only perception needs salvation. Heaven was  never lost and so cannot be saved. Yet who can make a choice between
Tx:26.24  as such. Where all reality has been withdrawn from what was  never true, can it be hard to give it up and choose what must be true?
Tx:26.30  you can take while time remains and choice is meaningful. For  never will another road be made except the way to Heaven. You but
Tx:26.40  a present light is dimly recognized. Once it is seen, this light can  never be forgotten. It must draw you from the past into the present,
Tx:26.59  be beyond you to control or to prevent. What is thus kept apart can  never join.
Tx:26.60  law—that each idea the mind conceives but adds to its abundance,  never takes away. This is as true of what is idly wished as what is
Tx:26.60  their source is to invite illusions to be true, without success. For  never will success be possible in trying to deceive the Son of God.
Tx:26.61  effects to other forms. And this is not release. God's Son could  never be content with less than full salvation and escape from guilt.
Tx:26.77  joined! However much you wish he be condemned, God is in him. And  never will you know He is in you as well, while you attack His chosen
Tx:26.80  tens of thousands? When They come, time's purpose is fulfilled. What  never was passes to nothingness when They have come. What hatred
Tx:26.84  by Whom it was created. Where He dwells, His Son dwells with Him,  never separate. And They give thanks that They are welcome made at
Tx:27.1  Who can combine the wholly incompatible and make a unity of what can  never join? Walk you the gentle way, and you will fear no evil and no
Tx:27.4  you send lest he forget the injuries he gave from which you swear he  never will escape. This sick and sorry picture you accept, if only it
Tx:27.5  Yet this one has not been used for purpose of attack and therefore  never suffered pain at all. It witnesses to the eternal truth that
Tx:27.6  the innocence that he beholds in you. Here is the proof that he has  never sinned—that nothing which his madness bid him do was ever
Tx:27.9  whose consequences still are there to see, so that the cause can  never be denied.
Tx:27.10  see yourself a picture of the proof that what your function is can  never be! The Holy Spirit's picture changes not the body into
Tx:27.17 Your body can be means to teach that it has  never suffered pain because of him. And in its healing can it offer
Tx:27.17  what he did not do. And so is he convinced his innocence was  never lost and healed along with you.
Tx:27.18 Thus does the miracle undo all things the world attests can  never be undone. And hopelessness and death must disappear before the
Tx:27.22  No one can forgive until he learns correction is but to forgive and  never to accuse. Alone, you cannot see they are the same, and
Tx:27.26  be a part of you while this perception lasts. What is condemned can  never be returned to its accuser, who hated it and hates it still.
Tx:27.31  The picture of your brother that you see is wholly absent and has  never been. Let then the empty space it occupies be recognized as
Tx:27.35  is no choice of function anywhere. The choice you fear to lose you  never had. Yet only this appears to interfere with power unlimited
Tx:27.51  manner in accord with laws which have been properly perceived but  never violated. Fear you not the way that you perceive them. You are
Tx:27.71 An honest choice could  never be perceived as one in which the choice is split between a tiny
Tx:27.79  of every dream the world has ever had. The “hero” of this dream will  never change nor will its purpose. Though the dream itself takes many
Tx:27.81  there really was a time when he knew nothing of a body and could  never have conceived this world as real. He would have seen at once
Tx:27.84  device to keep your innocence by pushing guilt outside yourself but  never letting go! It is not easy to perceive the jest when all around
Tx:28.8  forget. It is not past because He let It not be unremembered. It has  never changed because there never was a time in which He did not keep
Tx:28.8  He let It not be unremembered. It has never changed because there  never was a time in which He did not keep It safely in your mind. Its
Tx:28.8  because you thought that you remembered not their Cause. Yet was It  never absent from your mind, for it was not your Father's Will that
Tx:28.9 What you remember  never was. It came from causelessness which you confused with cause.
Tx:28.9  you have remembered consequences which were causeless and could  never be effects. The miracle reminds you of a Cause forever present,
Tx:28.9  forever present, perfectly untouched by time and interference— never changed from what It is. And you are Its effects, as changeless
Tx:28.10  a judgment on His Son. You would deny Him His effects, yet have they  never been denied. There was no time in which His Son could be
Tx:28.14  at all. He has done nothing. And in seeing this, he understands he  never had a need for doing anything and never did. His Cause is Its
Tx:28.14  this, he understands he never had a need for doing anything and  never did. His Cause is Its effects. There never was a cause beside
Tx:28.14  for doing anything and never did. His Cause is Its effects. There  never was a cause beside It that could generate a different past or
Tx:28.15  forever on a shore where he can glimpse another shore which he can  never reach. His Father wills that he be lifted up and gently carried
Tx:28.21  if it has no cause, it has no purpose. You may cause a dream, but  never will you give it real effects. For that would change its cause,
Tx:28.22  cause without the consequences which would make it cause. And so it  never was.
Tx:28.31 The end of dreaming is the end of fear, and love was  never in the world of dreams. The gap is little. Yet it holds the
Tx:28.35  dream of healing in forgiveness lies and gently shows you that you  never sinned. The miracle would leave no proof of guilt to bring you
Tx:28.35  miracle would leave no proof of guilt to bring you witness to what  never was. And in your storehouse it will make a place of welcome for
Tx:28.38  is but illusion in the mind. And with the mind you would unite, but  never with the dream. It is the dream you fear and not the mind. You
Tx:28.47  in. God is the alternate to dreams of fear. Who shares in them can  never share in Him. But who withdraws his mind from sharing them is
Tx:28.55  you give because it has no feeling. It behaves in ways you want but  never makes the choice. It is not born and does not die. It can but
Tx:28.59  of Me and I of you forever. Be you perfect as Myself, for you can  never be apart from Me.” His Son remembers not that he replied “I
Tx:28.64 But  never you alone. This world is but the dream that you can be alone
Tx:29.2  For love is treacherous to those who fear, since fear and hate can  never be apart. No one who hates but is afraid of love and therefore
Tx:29.26  without, or both. Or it can be disguised in pleasant form. But  never is it absent from the dream, for fear is the material of dreams
Tx:29.29  no betrayal but of this. The core of dreams the Holy Spirit gives is  never one of fear. The coverings may not appear to change, but what
Tx:29.39  Where time has set an end is not where the eternal is. God's Son can  never change by what men made of him. He will be as he was and as he
Tx:29.43  excepting there. Each idol that you worship when God calls will  never answer in His place. There is no other answer you can
Tx:29.52  idol? Do you think you know? For idols are unrecognized as such and  never seen for what they really are. That is the only power which
Tx:29.52  he may be replaced, no matter what their form. And it is this which  never is perceived and recognized. Be it a body or a thing, a place,
Tx:29.60  tells you idols have no purpose here. For more than Heaven can you  never have. If Heaven is within, why would you seek for idols which
Tx:29.60  of Himself. No idol can establish you as more than God. But you will  never be content with being less.
Tx:29.68  Heaven can be heard, not with the ears, but with the holiness which  never left the altar which abides forever deep within the Son of God.
Tx:29.68  the Son of God. And when he hears this song again, he knows he  never heard it not. And where is time, when dreams of judgment have
Tx:30.34  what he has chosen for himself? God but ensured that you would  never lose your will when He gave you His perfect answer. Hear it now
Tx:30.39  within the idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this could  never be your will because what shares in all creation cannot be
Tx:30.41 It  never is the idol that you want. But what you think it offers you,
Tx:30.47  of its rest in its eternal home, the Thought God holds of you has  never left the mind of its Creator Whom it knows, as its Creator
Tx:30.48  Mind of God, but from your own. The star shines still; the sky has  never changed. But you, the holy Son of God Himself, are unaware of
Tx:30.49  defensiveness entirely and rush to its embrace. The truth could  never be attacked. And this you knew when you made idols. They were
Tx:30.49  made that this might be forgotten. You attack but false ideas and  never truthful ones. All idols are the false ideas you made to fill
Tx:30.51  forms. And each one seems to break the rules you set for it. It  never was the thing you thought. It must appear to break your rules
Tx:30.52  are but toys, my children. Do not grieve for them. Their dancing  never brought you joy. But neither were they things to frighten you
Tx:30.55  you are asked to let yourself be free of all the dreams of what you  never were and seek no more to substitute the strength of idle wishes
Tx:30.62  be given back to him. The gap between your brother and yourself was  never there. And what the Son of God knew in creation, he must know
Tx:30.65  wanted in your hearts. Give up the world! But not to sacrifice. You  never wanted it. What happiness have you sought here that did not
Tx:30.67 There  never was a time an idol brought you anything except the “gift” of
Tx:30.70 Anger is  never justified. Attack has no foundation. It is here escape from
Tx:30.84  make allowance for stability of meaning anywhere. Fear is a judgment  never justified. Its presence has no meaning but to show you wrote a
Tx:30.90  because it can so easily be changed. This demonstrates that it was  never real and could not stem from his reality. For that is
Tx:31.1 How simple is salvation! All it says is what was  never true is not true now and never will be. The impossible has not
Tx:31.1  is salvation! All it says is what was never true is not true now and  never will be. The impossible has not occurred and can have no
Tx:31.8  you in soft appeal to be your friend and let it join with you. And  never does a call remain unheard, misunderstood, nor left unanswered
Tx:31.22  of care. There will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call that  never has been made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy place to
Tx:31.22  but come away without the thoughts you did not want and that were  never true.
Tx:31.26  of happiness is shortened by a span of time you cannot realize. You  never hate your brother for his sins, but only for your own. Whatever
Tx:31.27  what you are? If you did not believe that you deserved attack, it  never would occur to you to give attack to anyone at all. Why should
Tx:31.29  causes change. And so the body, where no learning can occur, could  never change unless the mind preferred the body change in its
Tx:31.31  you to change what you believe. The body will but follow. It can  never lead you where you would not be. It does not guard your sleep
Tx:31.41  from what you are will lead you to confusion and despair. Yet has He  never left His Thoughts to die, without their Source forever in
Tx:31.45  world accords to those who would be generous and good. This aspect  never makes the first attack. But every day a hundred little things
Tx:31.50  of yourself, that you will choose to follow this world's laws and  never seek to go beyond its roads nor realize the way you see
Tx:31.62  are, as flesh or Spirit in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you  never will escape the body as your own reality, for you have chosen
Tx:31.64  salvation will undo and let you see another world your eyes could  never find. Be not concerned how this could ever be. You do not
Tx:31.67  think you are in earth or Heaven. What your Father wills for you can  never change. The truth in you remains as radiant as a star, as pure
Tx:31.70  it is thus you see him more than just a body, for the good is  never what the body seems to be. The actions of the body are
Tx:31.71  For both are concepts of yourself which can be interchanged, but  never jointly held. The contrast is far greater than you think, for
Tx:31.86  in you. And what you choose is what you think is real. Simply by  never using weakness to direct your actions, you have given it no
Tx:31.88  make can not prevail against what God Himself would have you be. Be  never fearful of temptation then, but see it as it is—another
Tx:31.91  all your weakness with the strength that comes from God and that can  never fail. And thus are miracles as natural as fear and agony
W1:7.6 It is the reason why you are  never upset for the reason you think.
W1:16.3 In addition to  never being idle, salvation requires that you recognize that every
W1:18.1  in learning that the thoughts which give rise to what you see are  never neutral or unimportant. It also emphasizes the idea that minds
W1:19.1  and its results are really simultaneous, for cause and effect are  never separate.
W1:30.1  up before you, and you will look upon it and see in it what you have  never seen before. Nor will what you saw before be even faintly
W1:41.3 You can  never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its Source goes
W1:41.3  holiness because its Source goes with you wherever you go. You can  never suffer because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you
W1:41.3  because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you go. You can  never be alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever
W1:41.7  in connection with this kind of practice as we go along. But it will  never fail completely, and instant success is possible.
W1:43.2  and does not exist. Yet in salvation, which is the undoing of what  never was, perception has a mighty purpose. Made by the Son of God
W1:46.1 God does not forgive because He has  never condemned. And there must be condemnation before forgiveness is
W1:51.6 [5] I am  never upset for the reason I think. I am never upset for the reason I
W1:51.6 [5] I am never upset for the reason I think. I am  never upset for the reason I think because I am constantly trying to
W1:52.2 [6] I am upset because I see what is not there. Reality is  never frightening. It is impossible that it could upset me. Reality
W1:60.2  is the Love in which I forgive. God does not forgive, because He has  never condemned. The blameless cannot blame, and those who have
W1:68.5  feel without them. If you succeed even by ever so little, there will  never be a problem in motivation ever again.
W1:70.12  before you can reach the light. But remember also that you have  never found anything in the cloud patterns you imagined that endured
W1:75.7  have forgiven the world today. You can look upon it now as if you  never saw it before. You do not know yet what it looks like. You
W1:75.9  forgiveness entitles you to vision. Understand that the Holy Spirit  never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe He
W1:76.2  it. For if you could, you would forever seek where it is not and  never find it. The idea for today tells you once again how simple is
W1:76.7 The laws of God can  never be replaced. We will devote today to rejoicing that this is so.
W1:76.10  nothing is replaced by something else. God's laws forever give and  never take.
W1:77.3  You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is within you and can  never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to us in truth.
W1:77.4  for what is rightfully yours. Remind yourself also that miracles are  never taken from one and given to another and that in asking for your
W1:86.2  for salvation will work. And I will rejoice because His plan can  never fail.
W1:93.4  overjoyed to be assured that all the evil that you think you did was  never done, that all your “sins” are nothing, that you are as pure
W1:94.5 Now try to reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self that  never sinned nor made an image to replace reality. This is the Self
W1:94.5  sinned nor made an image to replace reality. This is the Self which  never left its home in God to walk the world uncertainly. This is the
W1:96.1  and none of them has worked. The opposites you see in you will  never be compatible. But one exists.
W1:96.3  and good and evil have no meeting place. The self you made can  never be your Self, nor can your Self be split in two and still be
W1:99.1  resulting in a state of conflict now between what is and what could  never be.
W1:99.2  can escape illusions. Yet it is not truth because it undoes what was  never done.
W1:99.4  of pain? What but a thought of God could be this plan by which the  never done is overlooked and sins forgotten which were never real?
W1:99.4  by which the never done is overlooked and sins forgotten which were  never real?
W1:99.9  the darkened places of your mind which thought the thoughts that  never were His Will.
W1:100.8  that sacrifice is asked. You but receive according to God's plan and  never lose or sacrifice or die.
W1:101.3  salvation must be pain. Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering can  never be escaped if sin is real. Salvation must be feared, for it
W1:101.5  sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin will  never happen, for it has no cause. Accept Atonement with an open mind
W1:105.4  will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will  never lessen when they are given away. They but increase thereby. As
W1:109.5  while time goes by without its touch upon you, for your rest can  never change in any way at all.
W1:121.6  Thus you return your mind as one to Him Who is your Self and Who can  never sin.
W1:121.11  perceive some light in him somewhere—a little gleam which you had  never noticed. Try to find some little spark of brightness shining
W1:122.1  Do you want a quietness that cannot be disturbed, a gentleness that  never can be hurt, a deep, abiding comfort, and a rest so perfect it
W1:122.1  can be hurt, a deep, abiding comfort, and a rest so perfect it can  never be upset?
W1:122.4  be sought? What fancied value, trivial effect, or transient promise  never to be kept can hold more hope than what forgiveness brings? Why
W1:122.8  newly born, arise in your awareness. What you will remember then can  never be described. Yet your forgiveness offers it to you.
W1:125.4  where He abides forever in the holiness which He created and will  never leave.
W1:125.8  In quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him tell you God has  never left His Son, and you have never left your Self.
W1:125.8  today, and let Him tell you God has never left His Son, and you have  never left your Self.
W1:127.1  and no distinctions. It is like itself, unchanged throughout. It  never alters with a person or a circumstance. It is the Heart of God,
W1:127.9  spared a future like the past. Today we leave the past behind us,  never more to be remembered. And we raise our eyes upon a different
W1:129.5  space away from timelessness. Here can you but look forward,  never back to see again the world you do not want. Here is the world
W1:132.19  release, although you may not fully understand as yet that you could  never be released alone.
W1:133.7  chose is valueless. A temporary value is without all value. Time can  never take away a value that is real. What fades and dies was never
W1:133.7  can never take away a value that is real. What fades and dies was  never there and makes no offering to him who chooses it. He is
W1:134.11  wakened from his dream by understanding what he thought he saw was  never there. And now he cannot feel that all escape has been denied
W1:135.19  is your good? Perhaps you have misunderstood His plan, for He would  never offer pain to you. But your defenses did not let you see His

W1:137.4  must be shown that what they look upon is false. So healing,  never needed by the truth, must demonstrate that sickness is not real.

Tx:3.24  not sacrifice, is the only appropriate gift to His own altar, where  nothing except true perfection belongs. The understanding of the
Tx:3.28 The miracle perceives everything as it is. If  nothing but the truth exists (and this is really a redundant
Tx:3.54  the power of perception, but it also implies that there is  nothing to know. Knowing is not open to interpretation. It is
Tx:3.56  utterly meaningless. Essentially, a prayer for forgiveness is  nothing more than a request that we may be able to recognize
Tx:3.57  Soul in His own Thought and of a quality like to His own. There is  nothing else. Perception, on the other hand, is impossible without a
Tx:3.58 What happens to perceptions if there are no judgments and there is  nothing but perfect equality? Perception becomes impossible. Truth
Tx:3.59  alien to human thinking, in which if anyone has everything, there is  nothing left. God's miracles are as total as His Thoughts because
Tx:3.64  or in pleasant disguises in what seem to be his happier dreams.  Nothing that you have refused to accept can be brought into
Tx:3.72  to believe that a thought system which is based on lies is weak.  Nothing made by a Child of God is without power. It is essential to
Tx:3.79  return to this beginning. Much has been perceived since then, but  nothing else has happened. That is why your Souls are still in peace,
Tx:4.8  maintains that the same thought system can stand on two foundations.  Nothing can reach the Soul from the ego, and nothing from the Soul
Tx:4.8  on two foundations. Nothing can reach the Soul from the ego, and  nothing from the Soul can strengthen the ego or reduce the conflict
Tx:4.10  upon it. This is very real to you. You cannot undo this by doing  nothing and not changing.
Tx:4.14  I have no right to set your learning limits for you. Once again— nothing you do or think or wish or make is necessary to establish
Tx:4.19 Of your egos you can do  nothing to save yourselves or others, but of your Souls you can do
Tx:4.19  God for His creations, who are wholly worthy of Him and only of Him.  Nothing else is sufficiently worthy to be a gift for a creation of
Tx:4.31  to convince itself that it is real. “Self esteem” in ego terms means  nothing more than that the ego has deluded itself into accepting its
Tx:4.35  its particular perception of magic. The “battle for survival” is  nothing more than the ego's struggle to preserve itself and its
Tx:4.36  is not in danger and does not need to be salvaged. Salvation is  nothing more than “right-mindedness,” which is not the One-Mindedness
Tx:4.53  for. Be very honest with yourself about this, for we must hide  nothing from each other. If you will really try to do this, you have
Tx:4.59  of something you want and do not have. Know you are deprived of  nothing except by your own decisions, and then decide otherwise.
Tx:4.62  of the ego and do not be deceived by it. Know it offers you  nothing. When you have given up this voluntary dispiriting, you will
Tx:4.66  for Christ is the Son of God. The second coming of Christ means  nothing more than the end of the ego's rule over part of the minds of
Tx:4.85 The ego is  nothing more than a part of your belief about yourselves. Your other
Tx:4.99  individually but who want to share it to increase their joy.  Nothing that is real can be increased except by sharing. That is why
Tx:4.102  are invulnerable because they are not protecting their egos, so that  nothing can hurt them. Their helpfulness is their praise of God, and
Tx:4.104  are often looked down on by the ego because of its belief that  nothing but a perfect body is worthy as its own temple.
Tx:5.9  can bring Him to you only at your own invitation. The Holy Spirit is  nothing more than your own right mind. He was also mine. The Bible
Tx:5.47 The Atonement is the guarantee of the safety of the Kingdom.  Nothing good is lost because it comes from the Holy Spirit, the Voice
Tx:5.47  lost because it comes from the Holy Spirit, the Voice for creation.  Nothing that is not good was ever created and therefore cannot be
Tx:5.53  except your wholeness. Show him that he cannot hurt you and hold  nothing against him, or you hold it against yourself. Teaching is
Tx:5.57  the complete can think completely, and the thinking of God lacks  nothing. Everything you think that is not through the Holy Spirit is
Tx:5.58  who are so holy suffer? All your past except its beauty is gone, and  nothing is left except a blessing. You can indeed depart in peace,
Tx:5.74  they are based on a complete fallacy which they were made to uphold.  Nothing the ego perceives is interpreted correctly. Not only does it
Tx:6.4  emphasis we laid upon it was that it was not a form of punishment.  Nothing, however, can be really explained in negative terms only.
Tx:6.4  in what it teaches if it is properly understood. The crucifixion is  nothing more than an extreme example. Its value, like the value of
Tx:6.35  and difficult. It is surely clear, however, that the perfect need  nothing and cannot experience perfection as a difficult
Tx:6.37  by recognizing Himself in every mind and thus perceives them as one.  Nothing conflicts in this perception, because what the Holy Spirit
Tx:6.40  holds knowledge safe through His impartial perception. By attacking  nothing, He presents no barrier at all to the communication of God.
Tx:6.50  a priceless part of His Kingdom, which He created as part of Him.  Nothing else exists, and only this is real. You have chosen a sleep
Tx:6.50  but the sleep is not real, and God calls you to awake. There will be  nothing left of your dream when you hear Him, because you will be
Tx:6.60  light is always the call to awake, whatever you have been dreaming.  Nothing lasting lies in dreams, and the Holy Spirit, shining with the
Tx:6.61  last forever. Many think this is accomplished through death, but  nothing is accomplished through death because death is nothing.
Tx:6.61  death, but nothing is accomplished through death because death is  nothing. Everything is accomplished through life, and life is of the
Tx:6.64  be offered to the equal Sons of God, and that is full appreciation.  Nothing more and nothing less. Without a range, an order of
Tx:6.64  equal Sons of God, and that is full appreciation. Nothing more and  nothing less. Without a range, an order of difficulty is meaningless,
Tx:6.80  order of difficulty in miracles has not yet been accepted, because  nothing is difficult that is wholly desired. To desire wholly is to
Tx:7.6  but it is hard to explain in words because words are symbols, and  nothing that is true needs to be explained. However, the Holy Spirit
Tx:7.7  He does not teach, because His creations are changeless. He does  nothing last, because He created first and for always. It must be
Tx:7.18  direct and perfectly united. It is totally without strain, because  nothing discordant ever enters. That is why it is the Kingdom of God.
Tx:7.18  belongs to Him and is therefore like Him. That is its reality, and  nothing can assail it.
Tx:7.19  it is not true that the table is now minus three apples. If there is  nothing on the table, it does not matter what was there in terms of
Tx:7.30  because they are not in doubt. They do not raise questions, because  nothing questionable enters their minds. This holds them in perfect
Tx:7.32  through prediction, and has no control over them at all. Science is  nothing more than an approach to what already is. Like inspiration it
Tx:7.37  it to you as a gift. You do not want it. It is not a gift. It is  nothing at all. God has given you a gift which you both have and are.
Tx:7.38  they are the laws of Truth. But seek this only because you can find  nothing else. There is nothing else. God is all in all in a very
Tx:7.38  But seek this only because you can find nothing else. There is  nothing else. God is all in all in a very literal sense. All being is
Tx:7.39 The body is  nothing more than a framework for developing abilities. It is
Tx:7.42  only strengthens. Magic always tries to weaken. Healing perceives  nothing in the healer that everyone else does not share with him.
Tx:7.51  do not want to share my body in communion, because that is to share  nothing. [Would I try to share an illusion with the most holy
Tx:7.59  mind, it is willing to attach itself to anything else. But there is  nothing else. It does not follow that the mind cannot make illusions,
Tx:7.60  understanding brings appreciation, and appreciation brings love.  Nothing else can be understood, because nothing else is real, and
Tx:7.60  appreciation brings love. Nothing else can be understood, because  nothing else is real, and therefore nothing else has meaning.
Tx:7.60  else can be understood, because nothing else is real, and therefore  nothing else has meaning.
Tx:7.66  do attack. The attack must be blind, however, because there is  nothing to attack. Therefore, they make up images, perceive them as
Tx:7.66  them for their unworthiness. That is all the world of the ego is— nothing. It has no meaning. It does not exist. Do not try to
Tx:7.69 Creation, not separation, is your will because it is God's, and  nothing that opposes this means anything at all. Being a perfect
Tx:7.74  you include them in it, you are giving life to them, except there is  nothing there to receive your gift.
Tx:7.75  unaware of your gift, because you do not give it. You cannot make  nothing live since it cannot be enlivened. Therefore, you are not
Tx:7.75  life, since that is not the Will of your Creator. You can do  nothing apart from Him, and you do do nothing apart from Him. Keep
Tx:7.75  of your Creator. You can do nothing apart from Him, and you do do  nothing apart from Him. Keep His way to remember yourselves and teach
Tx:7.100  outcome depends on the willingness to see it, but its truth has  nothing to do with your willingness at all. Truth is God's Will.
Tx:7.101  and you will be giving up the ego. But you will be sacrificing  nothing. On the contrary, you will be gaining everything. If you
Tx:7.107  of difficulty in everything. This is because the ego perceives  nothing as wholly desirable. By demonstrating to yourselves that
Tx:7.109  were created for it. God watches over His Children and denies them  nothing. Yet when they deny Him, they do not know this, because they
Tx:7.111  gift in anyone else, you have acknowledged what He has given you.  Nothing is as easy to perceive as truth. This is the perception which
Tx:8.8  the Holy Spirit entirely, which is quite impossible, you could learn  nothing from the ego because the ego knows nothing.
Tx:8.8  you could learn nothing from the ego because the ego knows  nothing.
Tx:8.20  regardless of the teacher you choose, is know thyself. There is  nothing else to learn. Everyone is looking for himself and for the
Tx:8.32  Nothing God created can oppose your will, as nothing God created can
Tx:8.32 Nothing God created can oppose your will, as  nothing God created can oppose His. God gave your will its power,
Tx:8.33  yours and have not let it be free. Of yourselves you can do  nothing, because of yourselves you are nothing. I am nothing without
Tx:8.33  Of yourselves you can do nothing, because of yourselves you are  nothing. I am nothing without the Father, and you are nothing without
Tx:8.33  you can do nothing, because of yourselves you are nothing. I am  nothing without the Father, and you are nothing without me, because
Tx:8.33  you are nothing. I am nothing without the Father, and you are  nothing without me, because by denying the Father you deny yourself.
Tx:8.36  on their behalf, as I am offering you mine on yours. Alone we can do  nothing, but together our wills fuse into something whose power is
Tx:8.39  back to all His Children, because I received it of Him for us all.  Nothing can prevail against our united wills, because nothing can
Tx:8.39  for us all. Nothing can prevail against our united wills, because  nothing can prevail against God's. Would you know the Will of God for
Tx:8.39  it of me who knows it for you, and you will find it. I will deny you  nothing, as God denies me nothing.
Tx:8.39  you, and you will find it. I will deny you nothing, as God denies me  nothing.
Tx:8.42  of God for anything the world has to offer. The world can add  nothing to the power and the glory of God and His holy Sons, but it
Tx:8.43  That is not because he is deprived of anything else, but because  nothing else is worthy of him. What God and His Sons create is
Tx:8.44  loving father left his home and thought he squandered everything for  nothing of any value, although he did not know its worthlessness at
Tx:8.44  because only the son himself was his father's treasure. He wanted  nothing else.
Tx:8.48  [because it is] a contradiction in terms which actually leaves  nothing. [You can make yourself powerless only in a way that has no
Tx:8.58 Rejoice, then, that of yourselves you can do  nothing. You are not of yourselves. He of Whom you are has willed
Tx:8.60 There is  nothing so frustrating to a learner as to be placed in a curriculum
Tx:8.65  is to limit your mind and hurt yourself. Health is therefore  nothing more than united purpose. If the body is brought under the
Tx:8.76  sense out of meaningless data. Any way you handle them results in  nothing. The more complicated the results become, the harder it may
Tx:8.85  heal. But to make mindless is impossible since it would mean to make  nothing out of what God created. The ego despises weakness, even
Tx:8.88  cannot do. Given this, and given this quite literally, there can be  nothing which prevents you from doing exactly what I ask, and
Tx:8.96  is your salvation because it is the same as God's. The separation is  nothing more than the belief that it is different.
Tx:8.100  the Holy Spirit for what would hurt you, He cannot answer, because  nothing can hurt you and so you are asking for nothing. Any desire
Tx:8.100  answer, because nothing can hurt you and so you are asking for  nothing. Any desire which stems from the ego is a desire for nothing
Tx:8.100  for nothing. Any desire which stems from the ego is a desire for  nothing and to ask for it is not a request. It is merely a denial in
Tx:8.103  do not want it, it was never created. If it was never created, it is  nothing. Can you really devote yourself to nothing?
Tx:8.103  was never created, it is nothing. Can you really devote yourself to  nothing?
Tx:8.105 Remember, then, that God's Will is already possible and  nothing else will ever be. This is the simple acceptance of reality,
Tx:8.118  be asking of Him and how much you will receive. He will deny you  nothing because you have denied Him nothing, and so you can share
Tx:8.118  will receive. He will deny you nothing because you have denied Him  nothing, and so you can share everything. This is the way, and the
Tx:9.3  Since He does not understand it, He does not judge it, knowing that  nothing it engenders means anything.
Tx:9.24  verbal accounts, no one can explain what happens in psychotherapy.  Nothing real does. Nothing real has happened to the unhealed healer,
Tx:9.24  no one can explain what happens in psychotherapy. Nothing real does.  Nothing real has happened to the unhealed healer, and he learns from
Tx:9.26 Healing is not mysterious.  Nothing will occur unless you understand it, since light is
Tx:9.29  is a sound, though insufficient, statement. Only the good can work.  Nothing else works at all. This course is a guide to behavior. Being
Tx:9.37  without your creations. Accept your brother in this world and accept  nothing else, for in him you will find your creations, because he
Tx:9.44  merely because He knows its foundation is not true. Therefore,  nothing that arises from it means anything. The Holy Spirit judges
Tx:9.47  and you will not hear it. The truth about you is so lofty that  nothing unworthy of God is worthy of you. Choose, then, what you want
Tx:9.47  worthy of you. Choose, then, what you want in these terms and accept  nothing that you would not offer to God as wholly fitting for Him,
Tx:9.58  be God's. You did not establish your value, and it needs no defense.  Nothing can attack it or prevail over it. It does not vary. It merely
Tx:9.59  Nothing beyond yourself can make you fearful or loving, because
Tx:9.59 Nothing beyond yourself can make you fearful or loving, because  nothing is beyond you. Time and eternity are both in your mind and
Tx:9.59  You must learn that time is solely at your disposal, and that  nothing in the world can take this responsibility from you. You can
Tx:9.60 God created  nothing beside you, and nothing beside you exists, for you are part
Tx:9.60 God created nothing beside you, and  nothing beside you exists, for you are part of Him. What except Him
Tx:9.60  you exists, for you are part of Him. What except Him can exist?  Nothing beyond Him can happen, because nothing except Him is real.
Tx:9.60  What except Him can exist? Nothing beyond Him can happen, because  nothing except Him is real. Your creations add to Him as you do, but
Tx:9.60  nothing except Him is real. Your creations add to Him as you do, but  nothing is added that is different, because everything has always
Tx:9.61  exceed the love of God? Can anything, then, exceed your will?  Nothing can reach you from beyond it because, being in God, you
Tx:9.68  it. Knowledge therefore precedes dissociation, and dissociation is  nothing more than a decision to forget. What has been forgotten then
Tx:9.69  you are willing to remember Him and know your own reality again. Let  nothing in this world delay your remembering of Him, for in this
Tx:9.70  in exchange for yours is the exchange of knowledge for perception.  Nothing is beyond His Will for you. But signify your will to remember
Tx:9.74  image, although those who make idols do worship them. The idols are  nothing, but their worshipers are the Sons of God in sickness.
Tx:9.81  to replace God. Yet when they seem to speak to you, remember that  nothing can replace God, and whatever replacements you have attempted
Tx:9.81  can replace God, and whatever replacements you have attempted are  nothing.
Tx:9.82  believe you are afraid of nothingness, but you are really afraid of  nothing. And in that awareness you are healed. You will hear the god
Tx:9.83  you. Honor is not due to illusions, for to honor them is to honor  nothing. Yet fear is not due them either, for nothing cannot be
Tx:9.83  honor them is to honor nothing. Yet fear is not due them either, for  nothing cannot be fearful. You have chosen to fear love because of
Tx:9.84  which god is real. Although it is perfectly clear that this has  nothing to do with reality, it is equally clear that it has
Tx:9.89  them with chaos and accepting it of them. All this has never been.  Nothing but the laws of God has ever operated, and nothing except His
Tx:9.89  has never been. Nothing but the laws of God has ever operated, and  nothing except His Will will ever be. You were created through His
Tx:9.89  hardly want it if you were willing to see it as it is. You will see  nothing at all. And your vision will automatically look beyond it to
Tx:9.90  truth at all. Peace is yours because God created you. And He created  nothing else.
Tx:9.96  Who alone is his help. We said before that of yourselves you can do  nothing, but you are not of yourselves. If you were, what you have
Tx:9.97  is because you did not make yourselves that you need be troubled by  nothing. Your gods are nothing, because your Father did not create
Tx:9.97  make yourselves that you need be troubled by nothing. Your gods are  nothing, because your Father did not create them. You cannot make
Tx:10.1  irreconcilable natures cannot be reconciled by your vacillations.  Nothing alive is fatherless, for life is creation. Therefore, your
Tx:10.2  made out of the wish of God's Son to father Him. The ego, then, is  nothing more than a delusional system in which you made your own
Tx:10.3  and that everything of which you have been afraid was based on  nothing.
Tx:10.7  not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can part of His Mind contain  nothing? If your place in His Mind cannot be filled by anyone except
Tx:10.15  it upon you. Always remember that what He gives, He holds, so that  nothing He gives can contradict Him. You who share His Life must
Tx:10.21  with His gift. Invite this knowledge back into your minds, and let  nothing that will obscure it enter. The Guest whom God sent you will
Tx:10.22  although He cannot help you without your invitation, and the ego is  nothing whether you invite it in or not. Real freedom depends on
Tx:10.26  it is very different. Yours is the way of pain, of which God knows  nothing. That way is hard indeed and very lonely. Fear and grief are
Tx:10.27 God hides  nothing from His Son, even though His Son would hide himself. Yet the
Tx:10.36  it cannot be shut, and I live forever. God is my life and yours, and  nothing is denied by God to His Son.
Tx:10.40  does not exist. Laws do not operate in a vacuum, and what leads to  nothing has not happened. If reality is recognized by its extension,
Tx:10.40  happened. If reality is recognized by its extension, what extends to  nothing cannot be real.
Tx:10.43  that any effort exerted on its behalf is necessarily expended on  nothing. The ego's goal is quite explicitly ego autonomy. From the
Tx:10.46  behalf of separation. Believing it has the power to do this, it does  nothing else because its goal of autonomy is nothing else. The ego is
Tx:10.46  to do this, it does nothing else because its goal of autonomy is  nothing else. The ego is totally confused about reality, but it does
Tx:10.57  you remember the Father? Accept His Son, and you will remember Him.  Nothing can demonstrate that His Son is unworthy, for nothing can
Tx:10.57  remember Him. Nothing can demonstrate that His Son is unworthy, for  nothing can prove that a lie is true. What you see of His Son through
Tx:10.57  God's Son, and in the Presence of Christ they need demonstrate  nothing, for Christ speaks to them of Himself and of His Father. They
Tx:10.63  is born of sacrifice and pain. The God of the resurrection demands  nothing, for He does not will to take away. He does not require
Tx:10.68  their oneness. The whole power of God is in every part of Him, and  nothing contradictory to His Will is either great or small. What does
Tx:10.70  be perceived. All that is necessary is a willingness to perceive  nothing else. For if you perceive both good and evil, you are
Tx:10.74  Perhaps you do not feel that a course which, in the end, teaches  nothing more than that only reality is true is necessary. But do you
Tx:10.76  Instruction in perception is your great need, for you understand  nothing. Recognize this but do not accept it, for understanding is
Tx:10.80  a course in the play of ideas, but in their practical application.  Nothing could be more specific than to be told very clearly that if
Tx:10.80  think it will demand of you. Yet only by asking will you learn that  nothing that is of God demands anything of you. God gives; He does
Tx:10.81  The Holy Spirit will give you only what is yours and will take  nothing in return. For what is yours is everything, and you share it
Tx:10.82  the asking. Do not deny it to yourself, for it can only free you.  Nothing of God will enslave His Son, whom He created free and whose
Tx:10.83  the truth is in me, for I know that it is in you. God's Sons have  nothing which they do not share. Ask for truth of any Son of God, and
Tx:10.85  this Help by asking for it, you will give it because you want it.  Nothing will be beyond your healing power because nothing will be
Tx:10.85  you want it. Nothing will be beyond your healing power because  nothing will be denied your simple request. What problems will not
Tx:11.4  of it. This is poor reality testing by definition. There is  nothing to prevent you from recognizing all calls for help as exactly
Tx:11.19  must be yours. Do not let your hatred stand in the way of love, for  nothing can withstand the love of Christ for His Father or His
Tx:11.27  It is only you, therefore, who have made the request outrageous, for  nothing can be asked of you, and every request of a brother is for
Tx:11.27  be made of one who recognizes what is valuable and wants to accept  nothing else.
Tx:11.44  have attacked yourself, and very brutally, you will demonstrate that  nothing happened. Therefore, by attacking you have not done anything.
Tx:11.52  else will be given you. For it is your will to learn aright, and  nothing can oppose the Will of God's Son. His learning is as
Tx:11.53  Soul and there is no gain in the world, for of itself it profits  nothing. To invest in something without profit is surely to
Tx:11.53  costs you the world's reality by denying yours and gives you  nothing in return. You cannot sell your Soul, but you can sell your
Tx:11.54 The Holy Spirit is your strength because He perceives  nothing but your Soul as you. He is perfectly aware that you do not
Tx:11.69 When you want only love you will see  nothing else. The contradictory nature of the witnesses you perceive
Tx:11.78  fear. His Father's love holds him in perfect peace, and needing  nothing, he asks for nothing. Yet he is far from you whose Self he
Tx:11.78  love holds him in perfect peace, and needing nothing, he asks for  nothing. Yet he is far from you whose Self he is, for you chose to
Tx:11.81  of it and rejoice that it is not so. Son of God, be not content with  nothing! What is not real cannot be seen and has no value. God could
Tx:11.82  made the invisible the only truth that this world holds. Valuing  nothing, you have sought nothing and found nothing. By making nothing
Tx:11.82  only truth that this world holds. Valuing nothing, you have sought  nothing and found nothing. By making nothing real to you, you have
Tx:11.82  this world holds. Valuing nothing, you have sought nothing and found  nothing. By making nothing real to you, you have seen it. But it is
Tx:11.82  nothing, you have sought nothing and found nothing. By making  nothing real to you, you have seen it. But it is not there. And
Tx:11.82  his vision is shared. The Holy Spirit looks upon him and sees  nothing else in you. What is invisible to you is perfect in His sight
Tx:12.3  lies hidden there, for the ego's destructive urge is so intense that  nothing short of the crucifixion of God's Son can ultimately satisfy
Tx:12.9 Little children, this is not so. Your “guilty secret” is  nothing, and if you will but bring it to the light, the light will
Tx:12.12 Your fear of attack is  nothing compared to your fear of love. You would be willing to look
Tx:12.21 In peace he needed  nothing and asked for nothing. In war he demanded everything and
Tx:12.21 In peace he needed nothing and asked for  nothing. In war he demanded everything and found nothing. For how
Tx:12.21  and asked for nothing. In war he demanded everything and found  nothing. For how could the gentleness of love respond to his demands
Tx:12.32  future. And time will be as you interpret it, for of itself it is  nothing.
Tx:12.55  you from the world and follow it. For this light will attract you as  nothing in this world can do. And you will lay aside the world and
Tx:12.59  it. There is no day that brightens and grows dim. There is no loss.  Nothing is there but shines, and shines forever.
Tx:12.61  no city that you built has withstood the crumbling assault of time.  Nothing you made but has the mark of death upon it. Hold it not dear,
Tx:12.65 It is God's Will that  nothing touch His Son except Himself, and nothing else comes nigh
Tx:12.65 It is God's Will that nothing touch His Son except Himself, and  nothing else comes nigh unto him. He is as safe from pain as God
Tx:12.67  Yet the dreams of love lead unto knowledge. In them you see  nothing fearful, and because of this, they are the welcome that you
Tx:12.68 Your Father knoweth that you have need of  nothing. In Heaven this is so, for what could you need in eternity?
Tx:12.69  For although the ego urges you again and again to get, it leaves you  nothing, for what you get, it will demand of you. And even from the
Tx:12.70  and will renew them as long as you have need of them. He will take  nothing from you as long as you have any need of it. And yet He knows
Tx:12.71  his inheritance. Within himself he has no needs, for light needs  nothing but to shine in peace and from itself to let the rays extend
Tx:13.2  and knowledge becomes quite apparent if you consider this: There is  nothing partial about knowledge. Every aspect is whole, and therefore
Tx:13.13 The world can give you only what you gave it, for being  nothing but your own projection, it has no meaning apart from what
Tx:13.15  one is faith in the other, calling for punishment instead of love.  Nothing can justify insanity, and to call for punishment upon
Tx:13.28  The altar to your Father is as pure as He Who raised it to Himself.  Nothing can keep from you what Christ would have you see. His Will is
Tx:13.36  made not freedom, so you made not a war that could endanger freedom.  Nothing destructive ever was or will be. The war, the guilt, the past
Tx:13.37 When we are all united in Heaven, you will value  nothing that you value here. For nothing that you value here you
Tx:13.37  united in Heaven, you will value nothing that you value here. For  nothing that you value here you value wholly, and so you do not value
Tx:13.37  is not to know its value. In Heaven is everything God valued and  nothing else. Heaven is perfectly unambiguous. Everything is clear
Tx:13.38  Nothing in this world can give this peace, for nothing in this world
Tx:13.38 Nothing in this world can give this peace, for  nothing in this world is wholly shared. Perfect perception can merely

Tx:13.40  in what your Father has given Him to do. The Will of God can fail in  nothing.
Tx:13.41  thing, and it will be sufficient: God wills you be in Heaven, and  nothing can keep you from it or it from you. Your wildest
Tx:13.41  your weird imaginings, your blackest nightmares all mean  nothing. They will not prevail against the peace God wills for you.
Tx:13.43 God willed you Heaven and will always will you  nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of His Will. There is no
Tx:13.49  decision not to know. The logic of the world must therefore lead to  nothing, for its goal is nothing.

Tx:13.54  on which this most peculiar learning goal depends means absolutely  nothing. It does make sense to you.
Tx:13.55 Have faith in  nothing, and you will find the “treasure” that you sought. Yet you
Tx:13.55  burdened or you would not have sought another. You will believe that  nothing is of value and will value it. A little piece of glass, a
Tx:13.55  a body or a war are one to you. For if you value one thing made of  nothing, you have believed that nothing can be precious and that you
Tx:13.55  For if you value one thing made of nothing, you have believed that  nothing can be precious and that you can learn how to make the untrue
Tx:13.56  for twisted minds. Consider all the distortions you have made of  nothing—all the strange forms and feelings and actions and
Tx:13.56  feelings and actions and reactions that you have woven out of it.  Nothing is so alien to you as the simple truth, and nothing are you
Tx:13.56  woven out of it. Nothing is so alien to you as the simple truth, and  nothing are you less inclined to listen to. The contrast between what
Tx:13.57  are not apparent to those who would make palaces and royal robes of  nothing, believing they are kings with golden crowns because of them.
Tx:13.57  is not true. To these unhappy learners who would teach themselves  nothing and delude themselves into believing that it is not nothing,
Tx:13.57  nothing and delude themselves into believing that it is not  nothing, the Holy Spirit says, with steadfast quietness:
Tx:13.58 The truth is true.  Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and everything beside it
Tx:13.58 The truth is true. Nothing else matters,  nothing else is real, and everything beside it is not there. Let Me
Tx:13.58  for you which you cannot make but need to learn. Your faith in  nothing is deceiving you. Offer your faith to Me, and I will place it
Tx:13.59  which this light brings to them because it teaches them release from  nothing and from all the works of nothing. The heavy chains which
Tx:13.59  it teaches them release from nothing and from all the works of  nothing. The heavy chains which seem to bind them unto despair they
Tx:13.59  heavy chains which seem to bind them unto despair they do not see as  nothing until you bring the light to them. And then they see the
Tx:13.59  they see the chains have disappeared, and so they must have been  nothing. And you will see it with them. Because you taught them
Tx:13.60  Learn to be happy learners. You will never learn how to make  nothing everything. Yet see that this has been your goal and
Tx:13.60  simple honesty, it is undone. We said before, “Be not content with  nothing,” for you have believed that nothing could content you. It is
Tx:13.60  before, “Be not content with nothing,” for you have believed that  nothing could content you. It is not so.
Tx:13.62  dark door which you believe is locked forever. You made this door of  nothing and behind it is nothing. The key is only the light which
Tx:13.62  is locked forever. You made this door of nothing and behind it is  nothing. The key is only the light which shines away the shapes and
Tx:13.62  only the light which shines away the shapes and forms and fears of  nothing. Accept this key to freedom from the hands of Christ Who
Tx:13.63  will realize it is impossible to deny the simple truth. For there is  nothing else. God is everywhere, and His Son is in Him with
Tx:13.67 What I experience, I will make manifest. If I am guiltless, I have  nothing to fear. I choose to testify to my acceptance of the
Tx:13.70  to free his brother and enter light with him. By giving power to  nothing, he threw away the joyous opportunity to learn that nothing
Tx:13.70  power to nothing, he threw away the joyous opportunity to learn that  nothing has no power. And by not dispelling darkness, he became
Tx:13.71  belief that you can be harmed shows him he is guiltless. He can do  nothing that can hurt you, and by refusing to allow him to think he
Tx:13.71  which you have accepted for yourself, is also his. There is  nothing to forgive. No one can hurt the Son of God. His guilt is
Tx:13.72  of God as yours. The power that God has given to His Son is his, and  nothing else can His Son see or choose to look upon without imposing
Tx:13.74  need, coming as naturally as peace that knows no limits. There is  nothing their wills will not provide that offers them anything of
Tx:13.76  of yourself in place of His calm and unswerving value of His Son?  Nothing can shake God's conviction of the perfect purity of
Tx:13.86  even as God gave it first to His Son. The first in time means  nothing, but the First in eternity is God the Father, Who is both
Tx:13.86  there is no other, for there is no order, no second or third and  nothing but the First.
Tx:14.2  in your experience of the world to help you understand it. There is  nothing on earth with which it can compare and nothing you have ever
Tx:14.2  it. There is nothing on earth with which it can compare and  nothing you have ever felt, apart from Him, that resembles it ever so
Tx:14.2  gentleness. Would you know of One Who gives forever and Who knows of  nothing except giving?
Tx:14.3  is yours. If you remember what you have made, you are remembering  nothing. Remembrance of reality is in Him and therefore in you.
Tx:14.4  with the Mind of God has never been. Communication with God is life.  Nothing without it is at all.
Tx:14.5  the world of death behind, and return quietly to Heaven. There is  nothing of value here and everything of value there. Listen to the
Tx:14.6  you share with God He holds in trust for you. He would teach you  nothing except how to be happy.
Tx:14.7  was created for you. Who can condemn whom God has blessed? There is  nothing in the Mind of God that does not share His shining innocence.
Tx:14.8  from his own sight. We are all joined in the Atonement here, and  nothing else can unite us in this world. So will the world of
Tx:14.16  is the exchange of dark for light, of ignorance for understanding.  Nothing you understand is fearful. It is only in darkness and in
Tx:14.16  you did, it would be clear, and you would be no longer in the dark.  Nothing has hidden value, for what is hidden cannot be shared, and so
Tx:14.17  Holy Spirit dwells within you is merely perfect openness in which  nothing is hidden and therefore nothing is fearful. Attack will
Tx:14.17  is merely perfect openness in which nothing is hidden and therefore  nothing is fearful. Attack will always yield to love if it is brought
Tx:14.17  it carefully, and you who made these guardians of illusion out of  nothing are now afraid of them.
Tx:14.18  nor unsafe. They do not protect; neither do they attack. They do  nothing at all, being nothing at all. As guardians of darkness and of
Tx:14.18  not protect; neither do they attack. They do nothing at all, being  nothing at all. As guardians of darkness and of ignorance, look to
Tx:14.20  much in your mind that lets you think you are. All this, and  nothing else, would He separate from you. The power of decision,
Tx:14.22  at once, and this must lead to unintelligibility. Yet if one means  nothing and the other everything, only that one is possible for
Tx:14.23  not fearful and cannot serve to guard the dark doors behind which  nothing at all is carefully concealed. We must open all doors and let
Tx:14.31  you how to recognize what you see. It is the recognition that  nothing you see means anything alone. Seeing with Him will show you
Tx:14.32  of innocence. Behind the dark doors which you have closed lies  nothing, because nothing can obscure the gift of God. It is the
Tx:14.32  Behind the dark doors which you have closed lies nothing, because  nothing can obscure the gift of God. It is the closing of the doors
Tx:14.33  your Father and His Son. No altar stands to God without His Son. And  nothing brought there that is not equally worthy of both but will be
Tx:14.35  and His Son's belong to you in truth. They have no opposite, and  nothing else can you bestow upon yourselves.
Tx:14.36  you nowhere else. Where God is, there are you. Such is the truth.  Nothing can change the knowledge given you by God into unknowingness.
Tx:14.37  of God for you. Lay no gifts other than this upon your altars, for  nothing can coexist beside it. Here your meager offerings are brought
Tx:14.40  You are not frail with God beside you. Yet without Him you are  nothing. The Atonement offers you God. The gift which you refused is
Tx:14.52  either to recognize love or to believe that everything else is  nothing but a need for love. You are too bound to form and not to
Tx:14.52  you consider content is not content at all. It is merely form, and  nothing else. For you do not respond to what a brother really offers
Tx:14.53  of the dynamics of the mind, let me assure you that you know  nothing of it at all. For of yourselves you could not know of it. The
Tx:14.56  Him is perfectly open and freely accessible to all, being for all.  Nothing lives in secret, and what you would hide from the Holy Spirit
Tx:14.56  lives in secret, and what you would hide from the Holy Spirit is  nothing. Every interpretation you would lay upon a brother is
Tx:14.60  it holds for you. Your learning gives the present no meaning at all.  Nothing you have ever learned can help you understand the present or
Tx:14.61  think you see the darkness. Yet darkness cannot be seen, for it is  nothing more than a condition in which seeing becomes impossible. You
Tx:14.72 Those who remember always that they know  nothing, but who have become willing to learn everything, will learn
Tx:14.73  really learn at all. And for this, it must be peace they want and  nothing else. Whenever you think you know, peace will depart from you
Tx:14.75  room for Him, and you will find yourself so filled with power that  nothing will prevail against your peace. And this will be the test by
Tx:15.1  all the time? Yet that is what time is for—to learn just that and  nothing more. God's Teacher cannot be satisfied with His teaching
Tx:15.8  in the ego's use of time. For time, according to its teaching, is  nothing but a teaching device for compounding guilt until it becomes
Tx:15.9  forever. It is so beautiful and so clean and free of guilt that  nothing but happiness is there. No darkness is remembered, and
Tx:15.10  this very instant, now, and think of it as all there is of time.  Nothing can reach you here out of the past, and it is here that you
Tx:15.32  constant and at peace forever with Itself. You will be content with  nothing but His Will. Accept no less, remembering that everything I
Tx:15.32  offer to yourselves, for you will know you are complete, in need of  nothing, and unable to accept anything for yourself. But you will
Tx:15.36  salvation in exchange for God's. His will content you, and there is  nothing else that can bring you peace. For peace is of God and of no
Tx:15.39  is simple is that truth is simple. Complexity is of the ego and is  nothing more than the ego's attempt to obscure the obvious.
Tx:15.40  that all minds are in communication. It therefore seeks to change  nothing, but merely to accept everything.
Tx:15.44  to acknowledge that you are host to God and hostage to no one and  nothing.
Tx:15.51  your seeking a picture whose likeness does not exist. For there is  nothing in Heaven or earth that it resembles, and so however much you
Tx:15.53 God knows you now. He remembers  nothing, having always known you exactly as He knows you now. The
Tx:15.62 In the holy instant,  nothing happens that has not always been. Only the veil that has been
Tx:15.62  been. Only the veil that has been drawn across reality is lifted.  Nothing has changed. Yet the awareness of changelessness comes
Tx:15.63  conditions are in the mind with it. If you were not only an idea and  nothing else, you could not be in full communication with all that
Tx:15.63  as long as you prefer to be something else, or would attempt to be  nothing else and something else together, the language of
Tx:15.65  love that is fully given and fully returned. Being complete, it asks  nothing. Being wholly pure, everyone joined in it has everything.
Tx:15.67  your only question will be why it was you ever wanted it. You have  nothing to lose by looking open-eyed at this, for ugliness such as
Tx:15.74  and what brings guilt cannot be love and must be anger. All anger is  nothing more than an attempt to make someone feel guilty, and this
Tx:15.79  that in complete forgiveness, in which you recognize that there is  nothing to forgive, you are absolved completely.
Tx:15.81  He comes from One Who cannot fail. Accept your sense of failure as  nothing more than a mistake in who you are. For the holy host of God
Tx:15.81  in who you are. For the holy host of God is beyond failure, and  nothing that he wills can be denied. You are forever in a
Tx:15.82  as He withheld Himself not from you, He withheld not His creation.  Nothing that ever was created but is yours. Your relationships are
Tx:15.86  of the ego, as the ego is the symbol of the separation. And both are  nothing more than attempts to limit communication and thereby to make
Tx:15.93  of yourself, you ask of me. Learn now that sacrifice of any kind is  nothing but a limitation imposed on giving. And by this limitation,
Tx:15.95  it is always the same idea. What is not love is always fear and  nothing else. It is not necessary to follow fear through all the
Tx:15.96  alternatives, for you cannot accept the fact that sacrifice gets  nothing. Sacrifice is so essential to your thought system that
Tx:15.96  to your thought system that salvation apart from sacrifice means  nothing to you. Your confusion of sacrifice and love is so profound
Tx:15.100  hostage to the ego, for it keeps no bargains and would leave you  nothing. [Nor can you be partial host to it.] You will have to choose
Tx:15.101  together and perceived where they are, the choice between them is  nothing more than a gentle awakening and as simple as opening your
Tx:15.102  it as the sign the time of Christ has come. He comes demanding  nothing. No sacrifice of any kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His
Tx:15.103  celebrate our release together by releasing everyone with us. Leave  nothing behind, for release is total, and when you have accepted it
Tx:15.107  lesson, you will realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice  nothing, and communication, which must be of the mind, cannot be
Tx:15.108  you. What can be more joyous than to perceive we are deprived of  nothing? Such is the message of the time of Christ, which I give you
Tx:15.110  I have perfect faith in you to do all that you would accomplish.  Nothing will be lacking, and you will make complete and not destroy.
Tx:16.3  is. All you have learned of empathy is from the past. And there is  nothing from the past that you would share, for there is nothing
Tx:16.3  there is nothing from the past that you would share, for there is  nothing there that you would keep. Do not use empathy to make the
Tx:16.4  past upon my Guest. I have invited Him, and He is here. I need do  nothing except not to interfere.
Tx:16.21  so from the basis of a very different thought system and one with  nothing in common with yours. For certainly what He has taught, and
Tx:16.21  what He has taught, and what you have taught through Him, have  nothing in common with what you taught before He came. And the
Tx:16.25  is their home. You who are host to God are also host to them. For  nothing real has ever left the mind of its creator. And what is not
Tx:16.26  and whom He holds are the universe, all else must be outside, where  nothing is. You have taught this, and from far off in the universe,
Tx:16.27  His Father does. His Kingdom has no limits and no end, and there is  nothing in Him that is not perfect and eternal. All this is you, and
Tx:16.27  nothing in Him that is not perfect and eternal. All this is you, and  nothing outside of this is you.
Tx:16.36  is an attempt [to bring love into separation. And, as such, it is  nothing more than an attempt] to bring love into fear and make it
Tx:16.38  is your completion, for you will be wholly in God, willing for  nothing special but only to be wholly like unto Him, completing Him
Tx:16.38  forever. Seek not for this in the bleak world of illusion, where  nothing is certain, and where everything fails to satisfy. In the
Tx:16.41  it. Turn with me firmly away from all illusions now, and let  nothing stand in the way of truth. We will take the last foolish
Tx:16.42  creation. On this side of the bridge to timelessness you understand  nothing. But as you step lightly across it, upheld by timelessness,
Tx:16.47  over God. In this it sees the ultimate freedom of the self, for  nothing would remain to interfere with it. This is its idea of
Tx:16.49  prefer. And he feels guilty for the “sin” of taking and of giving  nothing of value in return. For how much value can he place upon a
Tx:16.50  with Heaven. Yet if all illusions are of fear, and they can be of  nothing else, the illusion of Heaven is nothing more than an
Tx:16.50  of fear, and they can be of nothing else, the illusion of Heaven is  nothing more than an “attractive” form of fear in which the guilt is
Tx:16.55  have any influence at all upon it. See in the special relationship  nothing more than a meaningless attempt to raise other gods before
Tx:16.56  have no difficulty in perceiving the decision as just what it is and  nothing more.
Tx:16.58  simply because you will recognize that God is on the other side and  nothing at all is here. It is impossible not to make the natural
Tx:16.62  is left outside than would be taken in. For God is left without and  nothing taken in. If one such union were made in perfect faith, the
Tx:16.62  For the ego wants but part of him and sees only this part and  nothing else.
Tx:16.64 The bridge itself is  nothing more than a transition in your perspective of reality. On
Tx:16.64  actual disorientation seems to occur. But fear it not, for it means  nothing more than that you have been willing to let go your hold on
Tx:16.66  Nothing you seek to strengthen in the special relationship is really
Tx:16.67  and learn how much awaits you for the simple willingness to give up  nothing because it is nothing.
Tx:16.67  you for the simple willingness to give up nothing because it is  nothing.
Tx:16.68  you will think in glad astonishment that for all this you gave up  nothing! The joy of Heaven, which has no limit, is increased with
Tx:16.71  it what it is. It has no meaning in the present, and if it means  nothing now, it cannot have any real meaning at all. How can you
Tx:16.71  can give you what you think the past deprived you of? The past is  nothing. Do not seek to lay the blame for deprivation on it, for the
Tx:16.78 There is  nothing you can hold against reality. All that must be forgiven are
Tx:16.78  reality has no past, and only illusions can be forgiven. God holds  nothing against anyone, for He is incapable of illusions of any kind.
Tx:16.80  they perceived as great or small, possible or impossible. There is  nothing that will not give place to Him and to His majesty. To join
Tx:16.80  no other. The truth lies here and nowhere else. You choose this or  nothing.
Tx:17.7  look to you? In no fantasy have you ever seen anything so lovely.  Nothing you see here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such
Tx:17.7  you see here, sleeping or waking, comes near to such loveliness. And  nothing will you value like unto this nor hold so dear. Nothing that
Tx:17.7  And nothing will you value like unto this nor hold so dear.  Nothing that you remember that made your heart seem to sing with joy
Tx:17.8  and clean and new with everything sparkling under the open sun.  Nothing is hidden here, for everything has been forgiven, and there
Tx:17.9  you learn to reach. Fantasies are all undone, and no one and  nothing remains still bound by them, and by your own forgiveness, you
Tx:17.10  everything that has been used for learning will have no function.  Nothing will ever change; no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no
Tx:17.18  have not been made at all. Where no reality has entered, there is  nothing to intrude upon the dream of happiness. Yet consider what
Tx:17.27 God established His relationship with you to make you happy, and  nothing you do which does not share His purpose can be real. The
Tx:17.27  the function of relationships became forever “to make happy.” And  nothing else. To fulfill this function, you relate to your creations
Tx:17.27  this function, you relate to your creations as God to His. For  nothing God created is apart from happiness, and nothing God created
Tx:17.27  as God to His. For nothing God created is apart from happiness, and  nothing God created but would extend happiness as its Creator did.
Tx:17.31  as insane as what they are supposed to protect. The separation has  nothing in it, no part, no “reason,” and no attribute that is not
Tx:17.40  recognize as what it is—a picture of what you thought was real and  nothing more. For beyond this picture, you will see nothing.
Tx:17.40  was real and nothing more. For beyond this picture, you will see  nothing.
Tx:17.69  call forth and accomplish every miracle needed for its fulfillment.  Nothing too small or too enormous, too weak or too compelling, but
Tx:17.71  in every aspect and complete in every part. You can leave  nothing of yourself outside it and keep the situation holy. For it
Tx:17.74 The holy instant is  nothing more than a special case or an extreme example of what every
Tx:17.75  and bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks  nothing. Let it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the
Tx:17.77  terror, cold fantasies of fear and fiery dreams of hell. And it was  nothing but the intolerable strain of refusing to give faith to truth
Tx:17.79  and will not change, for you accepted what can never change. And  nothing that it needs to be forever changeless can you now withhold
Tx:18.2  are perceived as different. One would unite; the other separate.  Nothing can come between what God has joined and what the Holy Spirit
Tx:18.5  aspects are fearful enough, as you begin to look at them. But  nothing you have seen begins to show you the enormity of the original
Tx:18.7  at all. None of them matters. That they have in common and  nothing else. Yet what else is necessary to make them all the same?
Tx:18.9  course inward to the truth you share. In the mad world outside you,  nothing can be shared but only substituted, and sharing and
Tx:18.9  be shared but only substituted, and sharing and substituting have  nothing in common in reality. Within yourselves you love each other
Tx:18.36  who think that they must first atone, but only to those who offer it  nothing more than simple willingness to make way for it. Purification

Tx:18.39  makes it what it is. Yet we have emphasized that you need understand  nothing. Salvation is easy just because it asks nothing that you
Tx:18.39  you need understand nothing. Salvation is easy just because it asks  nothing that you cannot give right now.
Tx:18.45  that He gave to your relationship by accepting it for you, and  nothing will be wanting that would make of it what He would have it
Tx:18.49 There is  nothing outside you. That is what you must ultimately learn, for it
Tx:18.49  an awareness of perfect Oneness and the knowledge that there is  nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness and nothing else within.
Tx:18.49  of perfect Oneness and the knowledge that there is nothing else;  nothing outside this Oneness and nothing else within.
Tx:18.49  that there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness and  nothing else within.
Tx:18.50  bodies from your minds. Yet a body cannot be guilty, for it can do  nothing of itself. You who think you hate your bodies deceive
Tx:18.54  out fantasies. For it is still the fantasies you want, and they have  nothing to do with what the body does. It does not dream of them, and
Tx:18.56  It does not go out. Within itself it has no limits, and there is  nothing outside it. [It encompasses everything.] It encompasses you
Tx:18.56  encompasses you entirely; you within it, and it within you. There is  nothing else, anywhere or ever.
Tx:18.65  instant, the attraction of guilt would be experienced as pain and  nothing else and would be avoided. It has no attraction now. Its
Tx:18.67  of you. You are prepared. Now you need but to remember you need do  nothing. It would be far more profitable now merely to concentrate on
Tx:18.67  anyone, it always comes with just one happy realization: “I need do  nothing.”
Tx:18.68  Save time for me by only this one preparation and practice, doing  nothing else. “I need do nothing” is a statement of allegiance, a
Tx:18.69 To do anything involves the body. And if you recognize you need do  nothing, you have withdrawn the body's value from your mind. Here is
Tx:18.69  now. For here is time denied and past and future gone. Who need do  nothing has no need for time. To do nothing is to rest and make a
Tx:18.69  and future gone. Who need do nothing has no need for time. To do  nothing is to rest and make a place within you where the activity of
Tx:18.70  than all its raging activity. This quiet center, in which you do  nothing, will remain with you, giving you rest in the midst of every
Tx:18.75  the whole to give them any meaning, for by themselves they do mean  nothing. Nor have they any life apart and by themselves.
Tx:18.77  this little fenced-off aspect as yourself. The sun and ocean are as  nothing beside what you are. The sunbeam sparkles only in the
Tx:18.77  kingdom, a sorry king, a bitter ruler of all he surveys who looks on  nothing, yet who would still die to defend it? This little self is
Tx:18.90  touch it and it disappears; attempt to grasp it and your hands hold  nothing.
Tx:18.94  that God Himself can take the final step unhindered, for here does  nothing interfere with love, letting it be itself. A step beyond this
Tx:18.94  you to something completely different. Here is the Source of light— nothing perceived, forgiven, nor transformed, but merely known.
Tx:18.98  has come to you in the holy place of forgiveness, you will remember  nothing else, and memory will be as useless as learning, for your
Tx:19.14  through faith. And there it is that you will realize that there is  nothing faith cannot forgive. No error interferes with its calm
Tx:19.16  the eternal you do to you. Whom God created as His Son is slave to  nothing, being lord of all along with his Creator. You can enslave a
Tx:19.19  the power of his mind against himself. But he cannot sin. There is  nothing he can do that would really change his reality in any way nor
Tx:19.24 Would you not rather that all this be  nothing more than a mistake, entirely correctable, and so easily
Tx:19.28 Mistakes are for correction, and they call for  nothing else. What calls for punishment must call for nothing. Every
Tx:19.28  they call for nothing else. What calls for punishment must call for  nothing. Every mistake must be a call for love. What, then, is sin?
Tx:19.38  across the obstacles you placed before it. This will you do, for  nothing undertaken with the Holy Spirit remains unfinished. You can
Tx:19.38  with the Holy Spirit remains unfinished. You can indeed be sure of  nothing you see outside you, but of this you can be sure: the Holy
Tx:19.48  never to return, and part with it in gladness, not regret. For it is  nothing in itself and stood for nothing when you had greater faith in
Tx:19.48  in gladness, not regret. For it is nothing in itself and stood for  nothing when you had greater faith in its protection. Would you not
Tx:19.64 You have paid very dearly for your illusions, and  nothing you have paid for brought you peace. Are you not glad that

Tx:20.45  If it were elsewhere, it would rest upon contingency, but there is  nothing else. And this is wholly loving and forever. Yet has the Son
Tx:20.46  Nothing can show the contrast better than the experience of both a
Tx:20.46  to be known, completely understood, and shared. It has no secrets;  nothing that it would keep apart and hide. It walks in sunlight,
Tx:20.49  mystery, a meaningless enclosure carefully protected, yet hiding  nothing. Here the unholy relationship escapes reality and seeks for
Tx:20.51 Idolaters will always be afraid of love, for  nothing so severely threatens them as love's approach. Let love draw
Tx:20.58  as does His purpose. Being so simple and direct, this course has  nothing in it that is not consistent. The seeming inconsistencies or
Tx:20.58  great discomfort. This need not be. This course requires almost  nothing of you. It is impossible to imagine one that asks so little
Tx:20.61  is merely neutral. It is not sinful, but neither is it sinless. As  nothing, which it is, the body cannot meaningfully be invested with
Tx:20.75 Only two purposes are possible. And one is sin, the other holiness.  Nothing is in between, and which you choose determines what you see.

Tx:20.75  to its reality. It still is true that nothing is without. Yet upon  nothing are all projections made. For it is the projection which
Tx:21.1 Projection makes perception. The world you see is what you gave it,  nothing more than that. But though it is no more than that, it is not
Tx:21.1  meaningless. Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy.  Nothing perceived without it means anything. And where there is no
Tx:21.6  “see” in their imagination, believing that their choice is that or  nothing. They hate the world they learned through pain. And
Tx:21.9 The notes are  nothing. Yet you have kept them with you, not for themselves, but as
Tx:21.9  would lose the world you learned since then. And yet you know that  nothing in the world you learned is half so dear as this. Listen and
Tx:21.11  this and not the body. You know the ancient song and know it well.  Nothing will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of love]
Tx:21.17  possible within the universe as God created it, outside of which is  nothing. Suffer, and you decided sin was your goal. Be happy, and you
Tx:21.25  would deny. And so he seems to be the cause, producing real effects.  Nothing can have effects without a cause and to confuse the two is
Tx:21.26  that you did not create yourself. They are the same mistake.  Nothing created not by your Creator has any influence over you. And
Tx:21.27  has no power to create, and what he makes is meaningless. It changes  nothing in creation, depends entirely upon the madness of its maker,
Tx:21.30  it. No one allows a purpose to be replaced while he desires it, for  nothing is so cherished and protected as is a goal the mind accepts.
Tx:21.33  would have it be. Faithlessness is not a lack of faith, but faith in  nothing. Faith given to illusions does not lack power, for by it does
Tx:21.37  accomplished. Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice brings  nothing. He makes no bargains. And if you seek to limit Him, you will

Tx:21.52  lies in the other Self you have cut off from your awareness. And  nothing you have allowed to stay in it is capable of reason. How can
Tx:21.63  can there be that stands between what is continuous? And if there is  nothing in between, how can what enters part be kept away from other
Tx:21.83  changing, now this, now that, and now an elusive shadow attached to  nothing, he does decide against it.
Tx:21.87  for it desires that everything be like itself and sees it so.  Nothing has power to confound its constancy because its own desire
Tx:21.90  of your desire for what will never change. For you have asked that  nothing stand between the holiness of your relationship and your
Tx:22.2  himself and rob the other. They stay until they think there's  nothing left to steal and then move on. And so they wander through a
Tx:22.3  selves, for differences are only of the body. Therefore, he looks on  nothing he would take. He denies not his own reality, because it is
Tx:22.13 Be certain God did not entrust His Son to the unworthy.  Nothing but what is part of Him is worthy of being joined. Nor is it
Tx:22.20  was given to the Holy Spirit as His purpose, and by One to Whom  nothing He wills can be impossible, the means for its attainment are
Tx:22.25  on it with the decision that it must be healed and not with fear.  Nothing you made has any power over you unless you still would be
Tx:22.30  to its fixed belief in sin and disregard of errors. It looks on  nothing that can be corrected. Thus does the ego damn and reason save.
Tx:22.33  beyond the granite block of sin and stopping at the outside form of  nothing. To this distorted form of vision, the outside of everything,
Tx:22.33  truly? It is held back by form, having been made to guarantee that  nothing else but form will be perceived.
Tx:22.34  they stop at nothingness, unable to go beyond the form to meaning.  Nothing so blinding as perception of form. For sight of form means
Tx:22.39  to uphold it cannot be undone. Your way is decided. There will be  nothing you will not be told if you acknowledge this.
Tx:22.45  The opposition comes from them and not reality. Reality opposes  nothing. What merely is needs no defense and offers none. Only
Tx:22.46  return. Yet how can peace be so fragmented? It is still whole, and  nothing has been taken from it.
Tx:22.47 See how the means and the material of evil dreams are  nothing. In truth you stand together with nothing in between. God
Tx:22.47  of evil dreams are nothing. In truth you stand together with  nothing in between. God holds your hands, and what can separate whom
Tx:22.50  must be convinced, in spite of what you thought it was, that it is  nothing. If you forgive each other, this must happen. For it is your
Tx:22.54  means for His own plan. Be thankful that it serves yours not at all.  Nothing entrusted to it can be misused, and nothing given it but will
Tx:22.54  serves yours not at all. Nothing entrusted to it can be misused, and  nothing given it but will be used. This holy relationship has the
Tx:22.57  other with complete forgiveness from which no error is excluded and  nothing kept hidden what mistake can there be anywhere you cannot
Tx:22.57  a shadow through which you walk completely undismayed? God would let  nothing interfere with those whose wills are His[. And they will
Tx:23.1  of frailty and weakness is sinlessness? Innocence is strength, and  nothing else is strong. The sinless cannot fear, for sin of any kind
Tx:23.3  no evil. The innocent are safe because they share their innocence.  Nothing they see is harmful, for their awareness of the truth
Tx:23.6  Nothing around you but is part of you. Look on it lovingly, and see
Tx:23.9  it. And yet illusions cannot join. They are the same, and they are  nothing. Their joining lies in nothingness; two are as meaningless as
Tx:23.9  two are as meaningless as one or as a thousand. The ego joins with  nothing, being nothing. The victory it seeks is meaningless as is
Tx:23.9  as one or as a thousand. The ego joins with nothing, being  nothing. The victory it seeks is meaningless as is itself.
Tx:23.13  battle with another, yet the war of two illusions is a state where  nothing happens. There is no victor, and there is no victory. And
Tx:23.14  forces. It cannot exist between one power and nothingness. There is  nothing you could attack that is not part of you. And by attacking
Tx:23.14  is fearful, for it is the birth of fear. Yet what is born of  nothing cannot win reality through battle. Why would you fill your
Tx:23.17  grows dim, the temple of the Holy One becomes a house of sin. And  nothing is remembered except illusions. Illusions can conflict
Tx:23.19  Here are the laws that rule the world you made. And yet they govern  nothing and need not be broken; merely looked upon and gone beyond.
Tx:23.21  to truth instead of to each other, they merely disappear. No part of  nothing can be more resistant to the truth than can another.

Tx:23.42  forgiveness from your brother, and you attack him. You give him  nothing and receive of him but what you gave.
Tx:23.43  you want—to take a little and give up the rest. Salvation gives up  nothing. It is complete for everyone. Let the idea of compromise but
Tx:23.54  their Father's purpose and who know that it is theirs! They want for  nothing. Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the light they
Tx:24.6 What God created cannot be attacked, for there is  nothing in the universe unlike itself. But what is different calls
Tx:24.6  call it “friend.” On its behalf they fight against the universe, for  nothing in the world they value more.
Tx:24.17  was, nor hear what makes no sound. Is it a sacrifice to give up  nothing and to receive the love of God forever?
Tx:24.20  in silent blessing and in peace so real and so encompassing that  nothing stands outside. Leave all illusions of yourself outside this
Tx:24.24  enter and a hiding-place where none is welcome but your tiny self.  Nothing is sacred here but unto you and you alone, apart and separate
Tx:24.28  in you. It can be thrown off balance by anything. What rests on  nothing never can be stable. However large and overblown it seems to
Tx:24.29 Without foundation  nothing is secure. Would God have left His Son in such a state, where
Tx:24.29  that walks and breathes or creeps or crawls or even lives at all.  Nothing is safe from its attack, and it is safe from nothing. It will
Tx:24.29  lives at all. Nothing is safe from its attack, and it is safe from  nothing. It will forever more be unforgiving, for that is what it is
Tx:24.32  to come forth and waken from their dream of death. Yet they hear  nothing. They are lost in dreams of specialness. They hate the call
Tx:24.35  and body states must shift accordingly. Of itself the body can do  nothing. See it as means to hurt, and it is hurt. See it as means to
Tx:24.36  limited; so must it be that harmful purpose hurts the mind as one.  Nothing could make less sense to specialness. Nothing could make more
Tx:24.36  hurts the mind as one. Nothing could make less sense to specialness.  Nothing could make more sense to miracles. For miracles are merely
Tx:24.41  a thread from here, a scrap from there, and wove a picture out of  nothing. For the parts do not belong together, and the whole
Tx:24.41  For the parts do not belong together, and the whole contributes  nothing to the parts to give them meaning.
Tx:24.42  him, showing him what can be seen and heard and where he will see  nothing and there is no sound to hear.
Tx:24.50  For what God wills is whole and part of Him because His Will is One.  Nothing alive that is not part of Him, and nothing is but is alive in
Tx:24.50  because His Will is One. Nothing alive that is not part of Him, and  nothing is but is alive in Him. Your brother's holiness shows you
Tx:24.51  Nothing is lost to you in all the universe. Nothing that God created
Tx:24.51 Nothing is lost to you in all the universe.  Nothing that God created has He failed to lay before you lovingly as
Tx:24.59  stands for you alone, as self-created, self-maintained, in need of  nothing, and unjoined with anything beyond the body. In its eyes, you
Tx:24.62  he wants to be the truth! His wish is law unto him, and he obeys.  Nothing his specialness demands does he withhold. Nothing it needs
Tx:24.62  him, and he obeys. Nothing his specialness demands does he withhold.  Nothing it needs does he deny to what he loves. And while it calls to
Tx:24.63  the deep concern, the powerful conviction this is you belong to him.  Nothing you gave to specialness but is his due. And nothing due him
Tx:24.63  belong to him. Nothing you gave to specialness but is his due. And  nothing due him is not due to you.
Tx:24.66  its safety rests secure. If not, it has no purpose and is means for  nothing. Whatever is perceived as means for truth shares in its
Tx:24.68  like Himself. A perfect being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed,  nothing to add and nothing taken from—not born of size nor weight
Tx:24.68  being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed, nothing to add and  nothing taken from—not born of size nor weight nor time nor held to
Tx:25.3  His light and fills it with the holiness that shines from Him. And  nothing that the body says or does but makes Him manifest. To those
Tx:25.7  past it to the light. The veil is lifted through its gentleness, and  nothing hides the face of Christ from its beholders. And both of you
Tx:25.21  the Holy Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the Son alike.  Nothing has power over you except His Will and yours, who but extend
Tx:25.23  to this world of God's more basic law that love creates itself and  nothing but itself.
Tx:25.26  its goal with His Creator's purpose. In His perception of the world,  nothing is seen but justifies forgiveness and the sight of perfect
Tx:25.26  seen but justifies forgiveness and the sight of perfect sinlessness.  Nothing arises but is met with instant and complete forgiveness.
Tx:25.27  Nothing remains an instant to obscure the sinlessness that shines
Tx:25.28  a misperception be a sin? Let all your brother's errors be to you  nothing except a chance for you to see the workings of the Helper
Tx:25.33  sin will bring you joy, so long will they be there for you to see.  Nothing is harmful or beneficent apart from what you wish. It is your
Tx:25.36  Heaven be restored to him for whom it was created as his only home?  Nothing before and nothing after it. No other place, no other state
Tx:25.36  to him for whom it was created as his only home? Nothing before and  nothing after it. No other place, no other state nor time. Nothing
Tx:25.36  and nothing after it. No other place, no other state nor time.  Nothing beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any form. This can you
Tx:25.36  No other place, no other state nor time. Nothing beyond nor nearer.  Nothing else. In any form. This can you bring to all the world and

Tx:25.48  its laws are not imposed on you; its values are not yours. [And  nothing that you think you see in it is really there at all.] And
Tx:25.51  can rise against His Will and be immutable? If you could realize  nothing is changeless but the Will of God, this course would not be
Tx:25.51  for you. For it is this that you do not believe. Yet there is  nothing else you could believe if you but looked at what it really is.
Tx:25.52  Not one Thought of His makes any sense at all within this world. And  nothing that the world believes as true has any meaning in His Mind
Tx:25.54  perception can be based, another world perceived. And one in which  nothing is contradicted that would lead the Son of God to sanity and
Tx:25.54  is contradicted that would lead the Son of God to sanity and joy.  Nothing attests to death and cruelty, to separation, and to
Tx:25.55  everything that meets this one demand is worthy of your faith. But  nothing else. What is not love is sin, and either one perceives the
Tx:25.63  is necessary to add to the idea no one can lose for you to gain. And  nothing more.
Tx:25.65 There is a kind of justice in salvation of which the world knows  nothing. To the world, justice and vengeance are the same, for
Tx:25.77  all the Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your special function shows you  nothing else but perfect justice can prevail for you. And you are
Tx:25.79  willing it be given you. God's justice warrants gratitude, not fear.  Nothing you give is lost to you or anyone, but cherished and
Tx:26.1  of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the world, and you will see  nothing attached to anything beyond itself. All seeming entities can
Tx:26.17  that is belongs to Him and will forever be as He created it.  Nothing He loves but must be sinless and beyond attack. Your special
Tx:26.18  He knows of one creation, one reality, one truth, and but one Son.  Nothing conflicts with oneness. How, then, could there be complexity
Tx:26.18  where oneness is? The truth makes no decisions, for there is  nothing to decide between. And only if there were could choosing be a
Tx:26.18  in the advance toward oneness. What is everything leaves room for  nothing else.
Tx:26.21  Nothing the Son of God believes can be destroyed. But what is truth
Tx:26.25  from beyond the gate behind which total lack of limits lies.  Nothing in boundless love could need forgiveness. And what is charity
Tx:26.25  Forgiveness thus becomes the means by which he learns he has done  nothing to forgive. Forgiveness always rests upon the one who offers
Tx:26.26  is totally forgiven. And what has been forgiven must join, for  nothing stands between to keep them separate and apart. The sinless
Tx:26.26  separate and apart. The sinless must perceive that they are one, for  nothing stands between to push the other off. And in the space which
Tx:26.30  ways. All learning is a help or hindrance to the gate of Heaven.  Nothing in between is possible. There are two teachers only, who
Tx:26.30  but choose whether to go toward Heaven or away to nowhere. There is  nothing else to choose.
Tx:26.31  Nothing is ever lost but time, which in the end is [nothing. It] is
Tx:26.31  can achieve? Think not the way to Heaven's gate is difficult at all.  Nothing you undertake with certain purpose and high resolve and happy
Tx:26.31  to wander off, alone and miserable, down a road which leads to  nothing and which has no purpose.
Tx:26.44  but an illusion and made it real. And it is real to you. It is not  nothing and through its perceived reality has entered all the world
Tx:26.53  Nothing gives meaning where no meaning is. And truth needs no defense
Tx:26.89  Presence of your holy Guests be known to you. And to this purpose,  nothing can be added, for the world is purposeless except for this.
Tx:27.6  he beholds in you. Here is the proof that he has never sinned—that  nothing which his madness bid him do was ever done or ever had
Tx:27.10  apart from all experience of fear or love. For now it witnesses to  nothing yet, its purpose being open and the mind made free again to
Tx:27.17  For here is his forgiveness proved to him. A miracle can offer  nothing less to him than it has given unto you. So does your healing
Tx:27.30  it canceled out, and so they both are gone. And now he stands for  nothing. Symbols which but represent ideas that cannot be must stand
Tx:27.31 The picture of your brother that you see means  nothing. There is nothing to attack or to deny, love, or hate, or to
Tx:27.31 The picture of your brother that you see means nothing. There is  nothing to attack or to deny, love, or hate, or to endow with power
Tx:27.32  with no opposite is what creation is. For this there are no symbols.  Nothing points beyond the truth, for what can stand for more than
Tx:27.34  aid will merely be. Forgiveness vanishes and symbols fade, and  nothing which the eyes have ever seen or ears have heard remains to
Tx:27.35  without opposite. You do not know the peace of power which opposes  nothing. Yet no other kind can be at all. Give welcome to the Power
Tx:27.40  the questions. Where answers represent the questions, they add  nothing new, and nothing has been learned.
Tx:27.40  Where answers represent the questions, they add nothing new, and  nothing has been learned.
Tx:27.46  comforted. There is no sadness where a miracle has come to heal. And  nothing more than just one instant of your love without attack is
Tx:27.47  blessing, for the One Who blesses you loves all the world and leaves  nothing within the world that could be feared. But if you shrink from
Tx:27.48 Come to the holy instant and be healed, for  nothing that is there received is left behind on your returning to
Tx:27.54  because their purpose cannot be achieved. Thus are they means for  nothing, for they have a goal without a meaning. And they share the
Tx:27.56  for any one you choose is like the rest. This name or that, but  nothing more, you choose. You do not make a witness true because you
Tx:27.57  speak in other ways for its reality. He knows it is not real. For  nothing could contain what you believe it holds within. Nor could it
Tx:27.73  of the world of dreams. No other cause it has, nor ever will.  Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son and
Tx:27.81  upon himself. No one believes there really was a time when he knew  nothing of a body and could never have conceived this world as real.
Tx:27.84  sad indeed. Yet they but follow. And it is their cause which follows  nothing and is but a jest.
Tx:28.1 The miracle does  nothing. All it does is to undo. And thus it cancels out the
Tx:28.3  Nothing employed for healing represents an effort to do anything at
Tx:28.6 Yet time is but another phase of what does  nothing. It works hand in hand with all the other attributes with
Tx:28.7 Remember  nothing that you taught yourself, for you were badly taught. And who
Tx:28.10  miracle a lesson in allowing Cause to have Its own effects and doing  nothing that would interfere.
Tx:28.11  to other minds to share its quietness. And they will join in doing  nothing to prevent its radiant extension back into the mind Which
Tx:28.12  where They would abide. For in that instant does the Son of God do  nothing that would make himself afraid.
Tx:28.14  what he has made is causeless, making no effects at all. He has done  nothing. And in seeing this, he understands he never had a need for
Tx:28.18  unlike yourself. And as their “father,” you must be like them.  Nothing at all has happened but that you have put yourself to sleep
Tx:28.22  own attack, and he is innocent of what he caused. The miracle does  nothing but to show him that he has done nothing. What he fears is
Tx:28.22  he caused. The miracle does nothing but to show him that he has done  nothing. What he fears is cause without the consequences which would
Tx:28.26  that thought the body could be sick; projecting out its guilt caused  nothing and had no effects.
Tx:28.30 The miracle does  nothing just because the minds are joined and cannot separate. Yet in
Tx:28.32  is only its effect. Yet separation is but empty space, enclosing  nothing, doing nothing, and as unsubstantial as the empty place
Tx:28.32  effect. Yet separation is but empty space, enclosing nothing, doing  nothing, and as unsubstantial as the empty place between the ripples
Tx:28.34  and who stored a heap of snow that shone like silver. They have  nothing left behind the open door. What is the world except a little
Tx:28.45  picture of God's Son! The forms the broken pieces seem to take mean  nothing. For the whole is in each one. And every aspect of the Son of
Tx:28.46  Father is. Who seeks for substitutes when he perceives he has lost  nothing? Who would want to have the “benefits” of sickness when he
Tx:28.47  them is sharing Him. There is no other choice. Except you share it,  nothing can exist. And you exist because God shared His Will with
Tx:28.53  changing shapes, forever unsubstantial and unsure. Yet in the gap is  nothing. And there are no awesome secrets and no darkened tombs where
Tx:28.60 God asks for  nothing, and His Son, like Him, need ask for nothing. For there is no
Tx:28.60 God asks for nothing, and His Son, like Him, need ask for  nothing. For there is no lack in him. An empty space, a little gap,
Tx:29.1 There is no time, no place, no state where God is absent. There is  nothing to be feared. There is no way in which a gap could be
Tx:29.8  but its lack of strength or weakness. Would you recognize that  nothing stands between you? Would you know there is no gap behind
Tx:29.9 Yet all that happens when the gap is gone is peace eternal.  Nothing more than that, and nothing less. Without the fear of God,
Tx:29.9  when the gap is gone is peace eternal. Nothing more than that, and  nothing less. Without the fear of God, what could induce you to
Tx:29.10  to find yourself in Heaven and in God? Until you realize you give up  nothing, until you understand there is no loss, you will have some
Tx:29.15  God—His Son have life and every living thing be part of him, and  nothing else have life. What you have given “life” is not alive and
Tx:29.15  here, for on confusion has this world been based, and there is  nothing else it rests upon. Its basis does not change, although it
Tx:29.18  than it should be but only in your failure to perceive that it is  nothing. Yet its nothingness is your salvation, from which you would
Tx:29.32 The changelessness of Heaven is in you, so deep within that  nothing in this world but passes by, unnoticed and unseen. The still
Tx:29.32  embrace, so strong and quiet, tranquil in the might of its Creator;  nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God within. Here is the
Tx:29.32  he is his Father's Son and not for any purpose you may see in him.  Nothing is asked of you but to accept the changeless and eternal that
Tx:29.37  even though it was for this that every dream was made. Yet  nothing in the world of dreams remains without the hope of change and
Tx:29.40  Nothing survives its purpose. If it be conceived to die, then die it
Tx:29.42  you need not let it stand for this to you. Let this be changed, and  nothing in the world but must be changed as well. For nothing here
Tx:29.42  changed, and nothing in the world but must be changed as well. For  nothing here but is defined as what you see it for. How lovely is the
Tx:29.51  there is no death, and only life exists. The sacrifice of death is  nothing lost. An idol cannot take the place of God. Let Him remind
Tx:29.56 What is an idol?  Nothing! It must be believed before it seems to come to life and
Tx:29.58  forever and has left no room for anything to be except His Will.  Nothing and nowhere must an idol be while God is everything and
Tx:30.31  occur. It is but this agreement which permits all things to happen.  Nothing can be caused without some form of union, be it with a dream
Tx:30.34 How wonderful it is to do your will! For that is freedom. There is  nothing else that ever should be called by freedom's name. Unless you
Tx:30.43  Nothing that God knows not exists. And what He knows exists forever,
Tx:30.48  a thing apart from you and in a world which your reality knows  nothing of? Outside you there is no eternal sky, no changeless star,
Tx:30.53  Attack has power to make illusions real. Yet what it makes is  nothing. Who could be made fearful by a power that can have no real
Tx:30.56  Be glad indeed salvation asks so little, not so much. It asks for  nothing in reality. And even in illusions it but asks forgiveness be
Tx:30.56  of the toys of fear, and then its unreality is plain. Dreams are for  nothing. And the Son of God can have no need of them. They offer him
Tx:30.61  the mind can let them go when it has understood that idols are  nothing and nowhere and are purposeless. For only then can guilt and
Tx:30.86  things have but one purpose which you share with all the world. And  nothing in the world can be opposed to it, for it belongs to
Tx:30.88 Do not interpret out of solitude, for what you see means  nothing. It will shift in what it stands for, and you will believe

Tx:31.3  power in the world. The world was made by it and even now depends on  nothing else. The lessons you have taught yourselves have been so
Tx:31.8  everything is lit with hope and sparkles with a gentle friendliness.  Nothing but calls to you in soft appeal to be your friend and let it
Tx:31.22  no assault upon your wish to hear a call that never has been made.  Nothing will hurt you in this holy place to which you come to listen
Tx:31.28  is not seen to be a passive thing, obeying your commands and doing  nothing of itself at all. If you are sin you are a body, for the mind

Tx:31.57  yourself. The concept of the self embraces all you look upon, and  nothing is outside of this perception. If you can be hurt by

Tx:31.67  worthy of your trust; a happy place to rest in for a while, where  nothing need be feared but only loved. Who is unwelcome to the kind
Tx:31.74  which dims your sight and warps your vision, so that you behold  nothing with clarity. The light is kept from everything you see. At

Tx:31.81  hope except to die and end the dream of fear. This is temptation,  nothing more than this. Can this be difficult to choose against?
Tx:31.90 I am as God created me. His Son can suffer  nothing. And I am His Son.
Tx:31.91  are false distinctions gone, illusory alternatives laid by, and  nothing left to interfere with truth.
Tx:31.93  do not fail to hear my voice and listen to my words. I ask for  nothing but your own release. There is no place for hell within a
W1:I.1  which will make the goal possible. An untrained mind can accomplish  nothing. It is the purpose of these exercises to train the mind to
W1:I.5  contain. Whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them.  Nothing more than this is required.
W1:1.5  for these exercises should not become ritualistic. Only be sure that  nothing you see is specifically excluded. One thing is like another
W1:2.2  it. Make no attempt to include anything particular, but be sure that  nothing is specifically excluded.
W1:7.2 It is the reason why  nothing that you see means anything.
W1:7.12 Do not linger over any one thing in particular, but remember to omit  nothing specifically. Glance briefly at each subject, and then move
W1:9.3  its indiscriminate application and the essential rule of excluding  nothing. For example:
W1:13.1  to the emotion aroused. Actually, a meaningless world is impossible.  Nothing without meaning exists. However, it does not follow that you
W1:14.1  that does exist exists as He created it. The world you see has  nothing to do with reality. It is of your own making, and it does not
W1:15.1  think you think appear as images that you do not recognize them as  nothing. You think you think them, and so you think you see them.
W1:16.2  the truth or it multiplies illusions. You can indeed multiply  nothing, but you will not extend it by doing so.
W1:21.2  will become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is  nothing but a veil drawn over intense fury.
W1:21.3  that you do not really recognize what arouses anger in you, and  nothing that you believe in this connection means anything. You will
W1:22.4 I see only the perishable. I see  nothing that will last. What I see is not real. What I see is a form
W1:23.1  for today contains the only way out of fear that will ever succeed.  Nothing else will work; everything else is meaningless. But this way
W1:24.8  you are making a large number of demands of the situation which have  nothing to do with it. You will also recognize that many of your
W1:25.1 Purpose is meaning. Today's idea explains why  nothing you see means anything. You do not know what it is for.
W1:25.2  in it as meaningful in terms of ego goals. These goals have  nothing to do with your own best interests, because the ego is not
W1:25.3  you have no personal interests, your goals are really concerned with  nothing. In cherishing them, therefore, you have no goals at all. And
W1:26.4  vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of your own thoughts.  Nothing except your thoughts can attack you. Nothing except your
W1:26.4  of your own thoughts. Nothing except your thoughts can attack you.  Nothing except your thoughts can make you think you are vulnerable.
W1:26.4  except your thoughts can make you think you are vulnerable. And  nothing except your thoughts can prove to you this is not so.
W1:29.1  explains why you can see all purpose in anything. It explains why  nothing is separate, by itself or in itself. And it explains why
W1:29.1  why nothing is separate, by itself or in itself. And it explains why  nothing you see means anything. In fact, it explains every idea we
W1:29.3  You do not see them now. Would you know what is in them?  Nothing is as it appears to you. Its holy purpose stands beyond your
W1:35.10  longer exercise periods, there will probably be intervals in which  nothing specific occurs to you. Do not strain to think up specific
W1:35.10  repeat today's idea slowly until something occurs to you. Although  nothing that does occur should be omitted from the exercises, nothing
W1:35.10  nothing that does occur should be omitted from the exercises,  nothing should be “dug out” with effort. Neither force nor
W1:35.11  them, adding the idea to each of them in the form stated above. If  nothing particular occurs to you, merely repeat the idea to yourself
W1:37.1  holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed together. No one loses;  nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy
W1:37.2  awareness through your vision. Your holiness blesses him by asking  nothing of him. Those who see themselves as whole make no demands.
W1:38.1  your holiness the power of God is made available. And there is  nothing the power of God cannot do.
W1:38.5 In the situation involving ______ in which I see myself, there is  nothing that my holiness cannot do. In the situation involving ______
W1:38.5  the situation involving ______ in which _____ sees himself, there is  nothing my holiness cannot do.
W1:38.7 There is  nothing my holiness cannot do because the power of God lies in it.
W1:38.8  appeal to you, but keep the exercises focused on the theme “There is  nothing my holiness cannot do.” The purpose of today's exercises is
W1:41.3  alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever you go.  Nothing can destroy your peace of mind because God goes with you
W1:42.4  and repeat the idea again, quite slowly. After this, try to think of  nothing except thoughts which occur to you in relation to today's
W1:42.9  teaching you that we are studying a unified thought system in which  nothing is lacking that is needed, and nothing is included that is
W1:42.9  thought system in which nothing is lacking that is needed, and  nothing is included that is contradictory or irrelevant.
W1:45.1 Today's idea holds the key to what your real thoughts are. They are  nothing that you think you think, just as nothing that you think you
W1:45.1  thoughts are. They are nothing that you think you think, just as  nothing that you think you see is related to vision in any way. There
W1:45.1  is no relationship between what is real and what you think is real.  Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resembles your real
W1:45.1  are your real thoughts resembles your real thoughts in any respect.  Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision
W1:47.8  in you where there is perfect peace. There is a place in you where  nothing is impossible. There is a place in you where the strength of
W1:48.1  believe in illusions, but illusions are not facts. In truth there is  nothing to fear. It is very easy to recognize this. But it is very
W1:48.3  you are trusting in your own strength. The awareness that there is  nothing to fear shows that somewhere in your mind, not necessarily in
W1:48.3  of yours. The instant you are willing to do this, there is indeed  nothing to fear.
W1:50.2  peace and safety. It will transport you into a state of mind which  nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and where nothing can
W1:50.2  will transport you into a state of mind which nothing can threaten,  nothing can disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal
W1:50.2  of mind which nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and where  nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God.
W1:51.2 [1]  Nothing I see means anything. The reason this is so is that I see
W1:51.2 [1] Nothing I see means anything. The reason this is so is that I see  nothing, and nothing has no meaning. It is necessary that I recognize
W1:51.2  see means anything. The reason this is so is that I see nothing, and  nothing has no meaning. It is necessary that I recognize this, that I
W1:52.2  I have given them reality and thus regard reality as an illusion.  Nothing in God's creation is affected in any way by this confusion of
W1:52.2  affected in any way by this confusion of mine. I am always upset by  nothing.
W1:52.4  to give the past away, realizing that in so doing I am giving up  nothing.
W1:52.5 [9] I see  nothing as it is now. If I see nothing as it is now, it can truly be
W1:52.5 [9] I see nothing as it is now. If I see  nothing as it is now, it can truly be said that I see nothing. I can
W1:52.5  now. If I see nothing as it is now, it can truly be said that I see  nothing. I can see only what is now. The choice is not whether to see
W1:52.6  What can these thoughts mean? They do not exist, and so they mean  nothing. Yet my mind is part of creation and part of its Creator.
W1:53.4  it is completely undependable and offers no grounds for trust.  Nothing in madness is dependable. It holds out no safety and no hope.
W1:54.4  form the basis of the world I see. Yet that sharing was a sharing of  nothing. I can also call upon my real thoughts, which share
W1:54.5  not alone in experiencing the effects of my thoughts. I am alone in  nothing. Everything I think or say or do touches all the universe. A
W1:57.2  so. The prison door is open. I can leave it simply by walking out.  Nothing holds me in this world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a
W1:58.3  I see in its light shares in the joy it brings to me. There is  nothing that is apart from this joy because there is nothing that
W1:58.3  to me. There is nothing that is apart from this joy because there is  nothing that does not share my holiness. As I recognize my holiness,
W1:58.4 [38] There is  nothing my holiness cannot do. My holiness is unlimited in its power
W1:58.5  the salvation of the world. Once I have accepted my holiness,  nothing can make me afraid. And because I am unafraid, everyone must
W1:60.2  cannot blame, and those who have accepted their innocence see  nothing to forgive. Yet forgiveness is the means by which I will
W1:60.4 [48] There is  nothing to fear. How safe the world will look to me when I can see
W1:64.2  Nothing the body's eyes seem to see can be anything but a form of
W1:64.10  reviewing these thoughts and then to thinking about them and about  nothing else. This will be difficult at first particularly, since you
W1:68.9  over you, and holding you up. Try to believe, however briefly, that  nothing can harm you in any way. At the end of the practice period
W1:70.1 All temptation is  nothing more than some form of the basic temptation not to believe
W1:70.2 The seeming “cost” of accepting today's idea is this: it means that  nothing outside yourself can save you; nothing outside yourself can
W1:70.2  idea is this: it means that nothing outside yourself can save you;  nothing outside yourself can give you peace. But it also means that
W1:70.2  nothing outside yourself can give you peace. But it also means that  nothing outside yourself can hurt you or disturb your peace or upset
W1:70.8  a statement signifying your recognition that salvation comes from  nothing outside of you. You might put it this way:
W1:70.14  today, remind yourself that your salvation comes from you and  nothing but your own thoughts can hamper your progress. You are free
W1:70.15 My salvation comes from me.  Nothing outside of me can hold me back. Within me is the world's
W1:72.7  of what the body offers. Take the little you can get. God gave you  nothing. The body is your only savior. It is the death of God and
W1:73.1  strong. But they are idle indeed in terms of creation. They make  nothing that is real.
W1:73.9  ego which stands powerless before your will. Your will is free, and  nothing can prevail against it. Therefore we undertake the exercises
W1:74.6 I am at peace.  Nothing can disturb me. My will is God's My will and God's are one.
W1:76.10  nor received. Exchange cannot be made, there are no substitutes, and  nothing is replaced by something else. God's laws forever give and
W1:83.7  of my happiness and my function remains wholly unaffected by this.  Nothing, including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart
W1:92.7  and in love. It sees all others different from itself and  nothing in the world that it would share. It judges and condemns but
W1:93.2  fixed that it is difficult to help you see that they are based on  nothing. That you have made mistakes is obvious. That you have sought
W1:93.4  evil that you think you did was never done, that all your “sins” are  nothing, that you are as pure and holy as you were created, and that
W1:93.5  does not exist at all. And anything it seems to do and think means  nothing. It is neither bad nor good. It is unreal and nothing more
W1:93.5  think means nothing. It is neither bad nor good. It is unreal and  nothing more than that. It does not battle with the Son of God. It
W1:93.6  it is accepted. It is true. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God.  Nothing can touch it nor can change what God created as eternal. The
W1:94.6  Nothing is required of you to reach this goal except to lay all idols
W1:95.2  you are the Son of God, for it is senseless and understands  nothing.
W1:95.10  you have merely made a mistake. This calls for correction and for  nothing else.
W1:95.12 This is the truth, and  nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again and try
W1:98.6  success. And since time has no meaning, you are being asked for  nothing in return for everything. Here is a bargain that you cannot
W1:102.2  accomplish anything. It cannot purchase anything at all. It offers  nothing and does not exist. And everything you think it offers you is
W1:102.2  you is lacking in existence like itself. You have been slave to  nothing. Be you free today to join the happy Will of God.
W1:104.7  what belongs to us in truth is what He gives. And we would wish for  nothing else, for nothing else belongs to us in truth.

W1:106.1  seem to call; if you will not accept its petty gifts which give you  nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an open mind,
W1:107.2  when there was a time—perhaps a minute, maybe even less—when  nothing came to interrupt your peace; when you were certain you were
W1:110.7 I am as God created me. His Son can suffer  nothing. And I am His Son.
W1:R3.4  periods to be replacements for your litanies to them. They gave you  nothing. But your practicing can offer everything to you. And so
W1:117.2  being Love, is also happiness. Let me remember love is happiness and  nothing else brings joy. And so I choose to entertain no substitutes
W1:124.1  and strength available to us in all our undertakings. We can fail in  nothing. Everything we touch takes on a shining light which blesses
W1:124.9 Your benefit will not be less if you believe that  nothing happens. You may not be ready to accept the gain today. Yet
W1:128.1 The world you see has  nothing that you need to offer you, nothing that you can use in any
W1:128.1 The world you see has nothing that you need to offer you,  nothing that you can use in any way, nor anything at all that serves
W1:128.2  where there is none. Be you deceived no more. The world you see has  nothing that you want.
W1:128.4 Let  nothing which relates to body thoughts delay your progress to
W1:128.4  to believe the world has anything you want to hold you back.  Nothing is here to cherish. Nothing here is worth one instant of
W1:128.4  has anything you want to hold you back. Nothing is here to cherish.  Nothing here is worth one instant of delay and pain, one moment of
W1:128.4  and pain, one moment of uncertainty and doubt. The worthless offer  nothing. Certainty of worth cannot be found in worthlessness.
W1:128.9 This will not tempt me to delay myself. The world I see has  nothing that I want.
W1:129.6  be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This world holds  nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead you want
W1:129.8  I want. I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is  nothing that I really want.
W1:129.12 The world I see has  nothing that I want. Beyond this world there is a world I want.
W1:130.5  go. The real and the unreal are all there is to choose between, and  nothing more than these.
W1:131.15  who asks to reach the truth, and it is this request you make today.  Nothing but this has any meaning now; no other goal is valued now nor
W1:131.15  this has any meaning now; no other goal is valued now nor sought;  nothing before this door you really want, and only what lies past it
W1:132.4  you hold the bitter thought of death within your mind. The world is  nothing in itself. Your mind must give it meaning. And what you
W1:133.6  is no in-between. Each choice you make brings everything to you or  nothing. Therefore, if you learn the tests by which you can

W1:133.7  there and makes no offering to him who chooses it. He is deceived by  nothing in a form he thinks he likes.
W1:133.8  if you choose to take a thing away from someone else, you will have  nothing left. This is because when you deny his right to everything,
W1:133.8  by the illusion loss can offer gain. Yet loss must offer loss and  nothing more.
W1:133.13  to obtain. Choosing is easy just because of this. Complexity is  nothing but a screen of smoke which hides the very simple fact that
W1:133.14  Itself is reached by empty hands and open minds, which come with  nothing to find everything and claim it as their own. We will attempt
W1:135.21  our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed them  nothing and could only terrify.
W1:135.25  Nothing but that. If there are plans to make, you will be told of
W1:135.26  you ever thought that you must be defended from release. Heaven asks  nothing. It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. You
W1:135.26  It is hell that makes extravagant demands for sacrifice. You give up  nothing in these times today when undefended you present yourself to
W1:136.19  all is in the mind to what the body does. Its usefulness remains and  nothing more.
W1:136.20  by food and drink, or any laws you made it serve before. You need do  nothing now to make it well, for sickness has become impossible.

W1:138.3  And time goes by without results. There is no sense of gain, for  nothing is accomplished; nothing learned.
W1:138.3  results. There is no sense of gain, for nothing is accomplished;  nothing learned.
W1:138.4  you will perceive it was no choice at all, for truth is true and  nothing else is real. There is no opposite to choose instead. There
W1:138.11  we make a conscious choice between what has existence and what has  nothing but an appearance of the truth. Its pseudo-being, brought to
W1:139.6  its madness in the sad belief that what is universal here is true?  Nothing the world believes is true. It is a place whose purpose is to
W1:140.2  of a dream make in reality? One either sleeps or wakens. There is  nothing in between.
W1:140.4  all sickness. For the mind which understands that sickness can be  nothing but a dream is not deceived by forms the dream may take.
W1:140.4  possible. And that is cure indeed. For sickness now is gone, with  nothing left to which it can return.
W1:140.7  but in attributes that have no substance, no reality, no core, and  nothing that is truly different?
W1:140.9  beyond appearances today and reach the source of healing from which  nothing is exempt. We will succeed to the extent to which we realize
W1:140.12 With  nothing in our hands to which we cling, with lifted hearts and
W1:144.2 [128] The world I see has  nothing that I want.
W1:151.12  Itself. In everyone and everything, His Voice would speak to you of  nothing but your Self and your Creator, Who is one with Him. So will
W1:152.1  the outcomes that he wants. And no one dies without his own consent.  Nothing occurs but represents your wish, and nothing is omitted that
W1:152.1  his own consent. Nothing occurs but represents your wish, and  nothing is omitted that you choose. Here is your world, complete in
W1:152.3 Salvation is the recognition that the truth is true and  nothing else is true. This you have heard before, but may not yet
W1:152.3  true, then part of truth is false, and truth has lost its meaning.  Nothing but the truth is true, and what is false is false.
W1:155.4  of loss and have not been released accordingly. Others have chosen  nothing but the world, and they have suffered from a sense of loss
W1:155.8 Such is salvation's call, and  nothing more. It asks that you accept the truth, and let it go before
W1:155.10  walking in the way you traveled will be gone from you as well, with  nothing left to keep the truth apart from God's completion, holy as
W1:156.2  you are, He is. There is one Life. That Life you share with Him.  Nothing can be apart from Him and live.
W1:157.4  your will with His this day, what you are asking must be given you.  Nothing is needed but today's idea to light your mind and let it rest

W1:166.1  is limitless. He knows His Son. He gives without exception, holding  nothing back that can contribute to your happiness. And yet unless
W1:170.8  and fire seems to flame from him, he is but made of stone. He can do  nothing. We need not defy his power. He has none. And those who see
W1:170.10  the obstacles to peace. The final one, the hardest to believe is  nothing and a seeming obstacle with the appearance of a solid block,

W1:183.7 Hear  nothing else. Let all your thoughts become anchored on this. No other
W1:183.12  little things of earth have disappeared. The universe consists of  nothing but the Son of God who calls upon his Father. And his
W1:184.2  by which the world's perception is achieved. You see something where  nothing is and see as well nothing where there is unity—a space

W1:190.5  down and bring oppression. No one but yourself affects you. There is  nothing in the world which has the power to make you ill or sad or
W1:190.6 My holy brothers, think of this awhile—the world you see does  nothing. It has no effects at all. It merely represents your
W1:191.3  despair snatch from your fingers every scrap of hope, leaving you  nothing but the wish to die.
W1:191.11  hear this: all power is given you in earth and Heaven. There is  nothing that you cannot do. You play the game of death, of being
W1:192.7  with thanks, and joyously accepted? We are one and therefore give up  nothing. But we have indeed been given everything by God. Yet do we
W1:195.3  your peace, a plunderer who takes his joy from you and leaves you  nothing but a black despair so bitter and relentless that there is no
W1:195.6  thanks for every living thing, for otherwise we offer thanks for  nothing and we fail to recognize the gifts of God to us.
W1:200.1  sense of icy hopelessness and doubt. Seek you no further. There is  nothing else for you to find except the peace of God, unless you seek
W1:200.6 What does forgiveness do? In truth it has no function and does  nothing, for it is unknown in Heaven. It is only hell where it is
W2:I.7  Father and the Son, Whose holy will created all that is, can fail in  nothing. In this certainty, we undertake these last few steps to You
W2:WF.4 Forgiveness, on the other hand, is still and quietly does  nothing. It offends no aspect of reality nor seeks to twist it to
W2:WF.5 Do  nothing, then, and let forgiveness show you what to do through Him
W2:226.1  remain for me. But if I see no value in the world as I behold it,  nothing that I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will
W2:227.1  free because my will is Yours. I thought to make another will. Yet  nothing that I thought apart from You exists. And I am free because I
W2:WS.3 Salvation is undoing in the sense that it does  nothing, failing to support the world of dreams and malice. Thus it
W2:231.1  Yet is Your Love the only thing I seek or ever sought. For there is  nothing else that I could ever really want to find. Let me remember
W2:234.1  continuity nor break in thoughts which are forever unified as one.  Nothing has ever happened to disturb the peace of God the Father and
W2:WIS.1  is not to know. And truth can be but filled with knowledge and with  nothing else.
W2:258.1  in our minds, obscured but by our pointless little goals which offer  nothing and do not exist. Shall we continue to allow God's grace to
W2:264.1  and keeps him safe is Love Itself. There is no Source but This, and  nothing is that does not share Its holiness, that stands beyond Your
W2:269.1  of Christ and teaches me that what I look upon belongs to me, that  nothing is except Your holy Son.
W2:WIC.5  at last? So therefore let us seek to find Christ's face and look on  nothing else. As we behold His glory will we know we have no need of
W2:271.1  disappears. His kindly sight redeems the world from death. For  nothing that He looks on but must live, remembering the Father and
W2:273.1  with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and  nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His

W2:278.2 Father, I ask for  nothing but the truth. I have had many foolish thoughts about myself

W2:322.1 I sacrifice illusions,  nothing more. And as illusions go, I find the gifts illusions tried
W2:322.2  cannot sacrifice except in dreams. As You created me, I can give up  nothing You gave me. What You did not give has no reality. What loss

W2:339.2 Father, this is Your day. It is a day in which I would do  nothing by myself but hear Your Voice in everything I do; requesting
W2:344.1  upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where  nothing ever was or is or will be. Who can share a dream? And what
W2:346.2 And when the evening comes today, we will remember  nothing but the peace of God. For we will learn today what peace is

W2:FL.5  We have been saved from wrath because we learned we were mistaken.  Nothing more than that. And is a father angry at his son because he

Tx:12.23 And  now the reason why you are afraid of this course should be apparent.
Tx:12.27  Now has no meaning to the ego. The present merely reminds it of past
Tx:12.27  as if it were present. Thus it dictates reactions to those you meet  now from a past reference point, obscuring their present reality. In
Tx:12.27  deny yourself the message of release that every brother offers you  now.
Tx:12.30  on the only aspect of time which can extend to the infinite, for  now is the closest approximation of eternity which this world offers.
Tx:12.30  of eternity which this world offers. It is in the reality of  now, without past or future, that the beginning of the appreciation
Tx:12.30  that the beginning of the appreciation of eternity lies. For only  now is here, and it presents the opportunities for the holy
Tx:12.45  error. This means that you perceive a brother only as you see him  now. His past has no reality in the present, and you cannot see it.
Tx:12.45  to him are also not there, and if it is to them that you react  now, you see but an image of him which you made and cherish instead
Tx:12.45  of illusions, ask yourself if it is really sane to perceive what was  now. If you remember the past as you look upon your brother, you will
Tx:12.45  your brother, you will be unable to perceive the reality that is  now.
Tx:12.46  as you perceived it, you will be able to learn from what you see  now. For the past can cast no shadow to darken the present unless you
Tx:12.47 This darkness is in you. The Christ revealed to you  now has no past, for He is changeless, and in His changelessness lies
Tx:12.47  past, and if you would have it past and gone, you must not see it  now. If you see it now in your delusions, it has not gone from you,
Tx:12.47  would have it past and gone, you must not see it now. If you see it  now in your delusions, it has not gone from you, although it is not
Tx:12.52  Now is the time of salvation, for now is the release from time. Reach
Tx:12.52 Now is the time of salvation, for  now is the release from time. Reach out to all your brothers and
Tx:12.66  only in the past. Yet here it is, and you can understand it  now. God loves His Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's love
Tx:13.23  impose your idle wishes on the present and hope to find salvation  now?
Tx:13.27  Now it is given you to heal and teach, to make what will be now. As
Tx:13.27 Now it is given you to heal and teach, to make what will be  now. As yet it is not now. The Son of God believes that he is lost in
Tx:13.27  you to heal and teach, to make what will be now. As yet it is not  now. The Son of God believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a
Tx:13.42  peace still flows to you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it  now. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to use it and, by projecting
Tx:13.47  there alone their seeming clearness seems to be clearly seen. Let us  now turn away from them and follow the simple logic by which the Holy
Tx:14.17  and you who made these guardians of illusion out of nothing are  now afraid of them.
Tx:14.38  past, too, was changed and interposed between what always was and  now. The past which you remember never was and represents only the
Tx:14.60  have taught yourselves in the past by showing you only what you are  now. Learning has been accomplished before its effects are manifest.
Tx:14.65  it. And I will not use my own past learning as the light to guide me  now.
Tx:15.6 The ego teaches that Heaven is here and  now because the future is hell. Even when it attacks so savagely that
Tx:15.9 The Holy Spirit would undo all of this  now. Fear is not of the present but only of the past and future,
Tx:15.9  is there. No darkness is remembered, and immortality and joy are  now.
Tx:15.10  as a teaching aid to happiness and peace. Take this very instant,  now, and think of it as all there is of time. Nothing can reach you
Tx:15.21 Start  now to practice your little part in separating out the holy instant.
Tx:15.40 You could live forever in the holy instant, beginning  now and reaching to eternity, but for a very simple reason. Do not
Tx:15.53 God knows you  now. He remembers nothing, having always known you exactly as He
Tx:15.53  remembers nothing, having always known you exactly as He knows you  now. The holy instant parallels His knowing by bringing all
Tx:15.85  this there will be no delay when you are ready for it. God is ready  now, but you are not.
Tx:15.93  is, and every sacrifice you ask of yourself, you ask of me. Learn  now that sacrifice of any kind is nothing but a limitation imposed on
Tx:15.94  season holy, for it is in your power to make the time of Christ be  now.
Tx:16.16  for truth? For you have come too near to truth to renounce it  now, and you will yield to its compelling attraction. You can delay
Tx:16.16  and you will yield to its compelling attraction. You can delay this  now but only a little while. The Host of God has called to you, and
Tx:16.31  This is the last step in the readiness for God. Be not unwilling  now. You are too near, and you will cross the bridge in perfect
Tx:16.41  almost recognized it. Turn with me firmly away from all illusions  now, and let nothing stand in the way of truth. We will take the last
Tx:16.65  took to fix your minds so firmly on illusions. Delay will hurt you  now more than before only because you realize it is delay and that
Tx:16.67  not back with longing on the travesty it made of your relationships.  Now no one need suffer, for you have come too far to yield to the
Tx:16.71  it is. It has no meaning in the present, and if it means nothing  now, it cannot have any real meaning at all. How can you change the
Tx:16.75  been uprooted and has disappeared. The stillness and the peace of  now enfolds you in perfect gentleness. Everything is gone except the
Tx:17.20  past is made like the present. No longer does the past conflict with  now. This continuity extends the present by increasing its reality
Tx:17.24 In brief, the past is  now your justification for entering into a continuing, unholy
Tx:17.24  which the unholy alliance dictates are not perceived nor felt as  now. Yet the frame of reference to which the present is referred for
Tx:17.32 You have but little difficulty  now in realizing that the thought system which the special
Tx:17.36  to truth, you threaten truth with destruction. And your defense must  now be undertaken to keep truth whole. The power of Heaven, the love
Tx:17.40  of Heaven and eternity grows more convincing as you look at it. And  now by real comparison a transformation of both pictures can at last
Tx:17.45  unholy condition, your goal was all that seemed to give it meaning.  Now it seems to make no sense. Many relationships have been broken
Tx:17.46  of the relationship is so apparent that they cannot coexist. Yet  now the goal will not be changed. Set firmly in the unholy
Tx:17.48  goal be set for you. That was an act of faith. Do not abandon faith,  now that the rewards of faith are being introduced. If you believed
Tx:17.48  the Holy Spirit was there to accept the relationship, why would you  now not still believe that He is there to purify what He has taken
Tx:17.48  goal is set. And your relationship has sanity as its purpose. For  now you find yourselves in an insane relationship, recognized as such
Tx:17.49  Now the ego counsels thus—substitute for this another relationship
Tx:17.49  areas of fantasy from each other to save your sanity. Hear not this  now! Have faith in Him Who answered you. He heard. Has He not been
Tx:17.49  He heard. Has He not been very explicit in His answer? You are not  now wholly insane. Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit
Tx:17.49  Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit statement?  Now He asks for faith a little longer, even in bewilderment. For this
Tx:17.49  your faith emerge to bring you shining conviction. Abandon Him not  now, nor each other. This relationship has been reborn as holy.
Tx:17.50  once sought for satisfaction and thought you found it. Forget not  now the misery you really found, and do not now breathe life into
Tx:17.50  you found it. Forget not now the misery you really found, and do not  now breathe life into your failing egos. For your relationship has
Tx:17.51  hand to walk together along a road far more familiar than you  now believe. Is it not certain that you will remember a goal
Tx:17.52  in His blessing, and withhold not yours upon it. For all it needs  now is your blessing that you may see that in it rests salvation.
Tx:17.53  grown dim in what seemed to be the light of the mistakes? You are  now entering upon a campaign to blame each other for the discomfort
Tx:17.55  the purpose that has been accepted and the means as they stand  now which seems to make you suffer, but which makes Heaven glad. If
Tx:17.57  it must be clear. The setting of the Holy Spirit's goal is general.  Now He will work with you to make it specific [for application is
Tx:17.57  look beyond each situation in an understanding far broader than you  now possess.
Tx:17.59  happen. No goal was set with which to bring the means in line. And  now the only judgment left to make is whether or not the ego likes it
Tx:17.60  The false becomes the useless from this point of view. The situation  now has meaning, but only because the goal has made it meaningful.
Tx:17.76  has been demonstrated has called for faith and has been given it.  Now it becomes a fact from which faith can no longer be withheld. The
Tx:17.78  as yours. You have assumed your part in his redemption, and you are  now fully responsible to him. Fail him not now, for it has been given
Tx:17.78  redemption, and you are now fully responsible to him. Fail him not  now, for it has been given you to realize what your lack of faith in
Tx:17.79  change. And nothing that it needs to be forever changeless can you  now withhold from it. Your release is certain. Give as you have
Tx:18.4  and subdivided and divided again, over and over, that it is  now almost impossible to perceive it once was one and still is what
Tx:18.27  is this world's light. And fear must disappear before you  now. Be tempted not to snatch away the gift of faith you offered to
Tx:18.28  reach it. And in your desire lies its accomplishment. Your desire is  now in complete accord with all the power of the Holy Spirit's will.
Tx:18.30 You who are  now the bringers of salvation have the function of bringing light to
Tx:18.39  is easy just because it asks nothing that you cannot give right  now.
Tx:18.46  The power of joining and its blessing lie in the fact that it is  now impossible for either of you to experience fear alone or to
Tx:18.48  him, or he without me. Yet it is wholly possible for us to share it  now. And so I choose this instant as the one to offer to the Holy
Tx:18.65  It is always remembered or anticipated, but never experienced just  now. Only its past and future make it seem real. Time controls it
Tx:18.65  as pain and nothing else and would be avoided. It has no attraction  now. Its whole attraction is imaginary and therefore must be thought
Tx:18.67  together restores the universe to both of you. You are prepared.  Now you need but to remember you need do nothing. It would be far
Tx:18.67  but to remember you need do nothing. It would be far more profitable  now merely to concentrate on this than to consider what you should
Tx:18.69  from time. This is the way in which sin loses all attraction right  now. For here is time denied and past and future gone. Who need do
Tx:18.83  would welcome you. He has waited long to give you this. Receive it  now of Him, for He would have you know Him. Only a little wall of
Tx:18.98  the bright world of new and clean perception. There is your purpose  now. And it is there that peace awaits you.
Tx:19.10  You do not use anything your brother has done before to condemn him  now. You freely choose to overlook his errors, looking past all
Tx:19.12  free of all the guilt he laid upon himself. Faith sees him only  now because it looks not to the past to judge him, but would see in
Tx:19.27  appeal. And suddenly you change its status from a sin to a mistake.  Now you will not repeat it; you will merely stop and let it go unless
Tx:19.33  to Him and to each other. Your holy relationship has as its purpose  now the goal of proving this is impossible. Heaven has smiled upon
Tx:19.35  Forget what you have seen and raise your eyes in faith to what you  now can see. The barriers to heaven will disappear before your holy
Tx:19.36  have you look upon each other as yourself. Your relationship is  now a temple of healing—a place where all the weary ones can come
Tx:19.38  in Him. He answered you and entered your relationship. Would you not  now return His graciousness and enter into a relationship with Him?
Tx:19.41  barrier of sand still stands between you. Would you reinforce it  now? You are not asked to let it go for yourselves alone. Christ asks
Tx:19.45  knows you well, as you know Heaven. No illusions stand between you  now. Look not upon the little wall of shadows. The sun has risen over
Tx:19.46  can land and settle briefly upon anything, for it has no purpose  now. Before the Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it seemed to
Tx:19.46  the fixed and unchangeable dedication to sin and its results.  Now it is aimless, wandering pointlessly, causing no more than tiny
Tx:19.64  limitless? The end of guilt is in your hands to give. Would you stop  now to look for guilt in each other?
Tx:19.95 And  now you stand in terror before what you swore never to look upon.
Tx:19.95  “protectors,” and your “home” will vanish. Nothing that you remember  now will you remember.
Tx:20.2  in one hand and lilies in the other, uncertain which to give. Join  now with me and throw away the thorns, offering the lilies to replace
Tx:20.8  offer me. And yet the thorns are gone. Look you still closer at them  now, and you will see your altar is no longer what it was.
Tx:20.9  And what enables Him to see His purpose shine forth from every altar  now is yours as well as His. He sees no strangers, only dearly loved
Tx:20.11 You have the vision  now to look past all illusions. It has been given you to see no
Tx:20.11  and no obstacles to peace. The fear of God is nothing to you  now. Who is afraid to look upon illusions, knowing his savior stands
Tx:20.11  has been carefully prepared for you, and it is ready to receive you  now. You will not see it with the body's eyes. Yet all you need you
Tx:20.12  entirely to hear. You heard but knew not how to look nor where. And  now you know. In you the knowledge lies, ready to be unveiled and
Tx:20.14  Son of God is risen from the past and has awakened to the present.  Now is he free, unlimited in his communion with all that is within
Tx:20.14  is he free, unlimited in his communion with all that is within him.  Now are the lilies of his innocence untouched by guilt and perfectly
Tx:20.14  is free to guide you safely through them and beyond. Walk with him  now rejoicing, for the savior from illusions has come to greet you
Tx:20.15  released from crucifixion through your vision and free to lead you  now where he would be. He will not leave you nor forsake the savior
Tx:20.20  should indeed be fearful. Yet it was you who made it merciless, and  now if mercilessness seems to look back at you, it can be corrected.
Tx:20.26  us become impossible. You who were prisoners in separation are  now made free in Paradise. And here would I unite with you, my
Tx:20.27  And where else would they go but where they will to be? Each of you  now will lead the other to the Father as surely as God created His
Tx:20.33  enter here to learn its special function in the Holy Spirit's plan,  now that it shares His purpose. And as this purpose is fulfilled, a
Tx:20.42  never changes. All that it ever held or will ever hold is here right  now. The past takes nothing from it, and the future will add no more.
Tx:20.44  rests in his gentle hands in safety and in peace. Let us consider  now what he must learn, to share his Father's confidence in him. What
Tx:20.56  but you are not immobilized. The holy instant is of greater value  now to you than its unholy seeming counterpart, and you have learned
Tx:20.59  the sudden change in a relationship from sin to holiness should  now be almost over. To the extent you still experience it, you are
Tx:20.67  Vision would not be necessary had judgment not been made. Desire  now its whole undoing, and it is done for you.
Tx:20.70  what God willed and gave you shall be yours. This is your purpose  now, and the vision that makes it yours is ready to be given. You
Tx:21.7  have. Listen and try to think if you remember what we will speak of  now.
Tx:21.12 And  now the blind can see, for that same song they sing in honor of their
Tx:21.13  Rejected yes, but not ambiguous. And if you choose against it  now, it will not be because it is obscure, but rather that this
Tx:21.18  then, this little offering. Withhold it, and you keep the world as  now you see it. Give it away, and everything you see goes with it.
Tx:21.25  confusion of cause and effect becomes inevitable. The purpose  now becomes to keep obscure the cause of the effect and make effect
Tx:21.35  to vision, as all the means that once served sin are redirected  now toward holiness. For what you think is sin is limitation, and
Tx:21.40  You gave perception and belief and faith from mind to body. Let them  now be given back to what produced them and can use them still to
Tx:21.43  “fearful” question is one the ego never asks. And you who ask it  now are threatening the ego's whole defensive system too seriously
Tx:21.43  truth. And your belief in sin has been already shaken, nor are you  now entirely unwilling to look within and see it not.
Tx:21.44  past insanity and on to reason. And what your reason tells you  now, the ego would not hear. The Holy Spirit's purpose was accepted
Tx:21.44  ego knows not of. No more did you. And yet this part with which you  now identify is not afraid to look upon itself. It knows no sin. How,
Tx:21.45  the birth of freedom, the acceptance of release to come to you. And  now you recognize that it was not the ego that joined the Holy
Tx:21.47 And  now the ego is afraid. Yet what it hears in terror, the other part
Tx:21.47  world, brings to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and  now it sees that Heaven has come to earth at last, from which the
Tx:21.53  accomplished. Therefore, what joined the Will of God must be in you  now, being eternal. You must have set aside a place in which the Holy
Tx:21.58  question which the ego will never ask. Does not your reason tell you  now the question must have come from something that you do not know
Tx:21.83  not see he does it. And if he sees his happiness as ever changing,  now this, now that, and now an elusive shadow attached to nothing, he
Tx:21.83  he does it. And if he sees his happiness as ever changing, now this,  now that, and now an elusive shadow attached to nothing, he does
Tx:21.83  if he sees his happiness as ever changing, now this, now that, and  now an elusive shadow attached to nothing, he does decide against it.
Tx:21.90  is already answered and what you ask for given. Here is the future  now, for time is powerless because of your desire for what will never
Tx:22.4  [And here is sight of differences transformed to vision.] And reason  now can lead you to the logical conclusion of your union. It must
Tx:22.4  as you reached out beyond the body to let yourselves be joined. And  now the sameness which you saw extends and finally removes all sense
Tx:22.11  ancient than the old illusion that it has replaced, is like a baby  now in its rebirth. Yet in this infant is your vision returned to
Tx:22.20  but what they make of it is not the same. The ego will assure you  now that it is impossible for you to see no guilt in anyone. And if
Tx:22.21  Creator wills is possible, but what you made believes it is not so.  Now must you choose between yourself and an illusion of yourself. Not
Tx:22.22 Forsake not  now each other. For you who are the same will not decide alone nor
Tx:22.38  you cannot go ahead. You must go either one way or the other. For  now if you go straight ahead, the way you went before you reached the
Tx:22.38  purpose of coming this far was to decide which branch you will take  now. The way you came no longer matters. It can no longer serve. No
Tx:22.40  a solid block, nor realize how thin the drapery that separates you  now. Yet it is almost over in your awareness, and peace has reached
Tx:22.41  and lonely journey where you walked alone. The gates of Heaven, open  now for you, will you now open to the sorrowful. And none who looks
Tx:22.41  you walked alone. The gates of Heaven, open now for you, will you  now open to the sorrowful. And none who looks upon the Christ in you
Tx:22.41  veil which you will bring to light the tired eyes of those as weary  now as once you were. How thankful will they be to see you come among
Tx:22.55  Heaven that you fill again with the Eternal Light you bring shines  now on you. The means of sinlessness can know no fear because they
Tx:22.56  that you give the Holy Spirit is service to yourself. You who are  now His means must love all that He loves. And what you bring is your
Tx:23.3  everything from the illusion of harmfulness. And what seemed harmful  now stands shining in their innocence, released from sin and fear,
Tx:23.6  the world sparkle and shine and everything you once thought sinful  now will be reinterpreted as part of Heaven. How beautiful it is to
Tx:23.10  over. The journey's end is at the place of peace. Would you not  now accept the peace offered you here? This “enemy” you fought as an
Tx:23.23  this seems to do to the relationship between the Father and the Son.  Now it appears that they can never be one again. For one must always
Tx:23.23  be one again. For one must always be condemned and by the other.  Now are they different and enemies. And their relationship is one of
Tx:23.23  the other strong by his defeat. And fear of God and of each other  now appears as sensible, made real by what the Son of God has done
Tx:23.25 See how the fear of God is reinforced by this third principle.  Now it becomes impossible to turn to Him for help in misery. For now
Tx:23.25  Now it becomes impossible to turn to Him for help in misery. For  now He has become the “enemy” Who caused it and to Whom appeal is
Tx:23.25  aspect seems to be at war with Him and justified in its attack. And  now is conflict made inevitable and beyond the help of God. And now
Tx:23.25  And now is conflict made inevitable and beyond the help of God. And  now salvation must remain impossible because the savior has become
Tx:23.29 And  now there is a vague unanswered question, not yet “explained.” What
Tx:23.29  and cunning enemy? It must be what you want but never found. And  now you “understand” the reason why you found it not. For it was
Tx:23.29  the cover for his guilt, the hiding place for what belongs to you.  Now must his body be destroyed and sacrificed that you may have that
Tx:23.32  then must its opposite, which was the truth before, be madness  now. Such a reversal, completely turned around, with madness sanity,
Tx:23.50  in any form is not your will. The overlooking of the battleground is  now your purpose.
Tx:24.3  love is gone because you asked a substitute to take its place. And  now must war, the substitute for peace, come with the one alternative
Tx:24.4  decisions have been made and kept hidden to become beliefs,  now given power to direct all subsequent decisions. Mistake you not
Tx:24.8  is lost to you. God gave you both Himself, and to remember this is  now the only purpose that you share. And so it is the only one you
Tx:24.10  relationship has been made clean of special goals. And would you  now defeat the goal of holiness that Heaven gave it? What perspective
Tx:24.20 You have come far along the way of truth—too far to falter  now. Just one step more and every vestige of the fear of God will
Tx:24.25  bring you peace and joy of any kind? Through this despair you travel  now, yet it is but illusion of despair. The death of specialness is
Tx:24.34  attraction. Here is death enthroned as savior; crucifixion is  now redemption, and salvation can only mean destruction of the world,
Tx:24.46 Yet is He quiet, for He knows that love is in you  now and safely held in you by that same hand that holds your
Tx:24.49  and turn to dust. In him is your assurance God is here and with you  now. While he is what he is, you can be sure that God is knowable and
Tx:24.60  Now you are merely asked that you pursue another goal with far less
Tx:24.62  of God's creation that takes the place of yours? And where are they,  now that the host of God has found another son which he prefers to
Tx:25.7  Christ from its beholders. And both of you stand there, before Him  now, to let Him draw aside the veil that seems to keep you separate
Tx:25.31  what he is to you will make this choice your future? For you make it  now, the instant when all time becomes a means to reach a goal. Make
Tx:25.35  think what it would do for you. Your “evil” thoughts that haunt you  now will seem increasingly remote and far away from you. And they go
Tx:25.38  For you have hurt yourself and made your Self your “enemy.” And  now you must believe you are not you but something alien to yourself
Tx:25.58  Now must he question this because the form of the alternative is one
Tx:25.71  by being separate and apart from love. And what but vengeance  now can help and save, while love stands feebly by with helpless
Tx:25.78  that sin be kept in place. You mean that truth has greater value  now than all illusions. And you recognize that truth must be revealed
Tx:26.11  is the problem gone, because it was an error in perception which  now has been corrected. One mistake is not more difficult for Him to
Tx:26.24  is undone by change of purpose in what once was specialness and  now is union? All illusions are but one. And in the recognition this
Tx:26.37  past that he may hear a fact in what is there to hear where he is  now? And how much can his own delusions about time and place affect a
Tx:26.37  wish that what is gone could be made real again and seen as here and  now in place of what is really now and here. Is this a hindrance to
Tx:26.37  made real again and seen as here and now in place of what is really  now and here. Is this a hindrance to the truth the past is gone and
Tx:26.39  a memory of time gone by? [This course will teach you only what is  now.] A dreadful instant in a distant past, now perfectly corrected,
Tx:26.39  teach you only what is now.] A dreadful instant in a distant past,  now perfectly corrected, is of no concern nor value. Let the dead and
Tx:26.39  peacefully forgotten. Resurrection has come to take its place. And  now you are a part of resurrection, not of death. No past illusions
Tx:26.40  that he chose to die instead of live. And will you not forgive him  now because he made an error in the past that God remembers not and
Tx:26.40  made an error in the past that God remembers not and is not there?  Now you are shifting back and forth between the past and present.
Tx:26.41  is past and gone and hinder not the true existence of the here and  now. The real world is the second part of the hallucination time and
Tx:26.42  of time is but the mad belief that what is over is still here and  now.
Tx:26.69  And you cannot believe that trust would settle every problem  now. Thus do you think it safer to remain a little careful and a
Tx:26.69  perception you cannot conceive of gaining what forgiveness offers  now. The interval you think lies in between the giving and receiving
Tx:26.71 Yet space between you is apparent  now and cannot be perceived in future time. No more can it be
Tx:26.71  But present joining is your dread. Who can feel desolation except  now? A future cause as yet has no effects. And therefore must it be
Tx:26.72  effects unless he thought they had been caused and judged disastrous  now? Belief in sin arouses fear and, like its cause, is looking
Tx:26.72  is looking forward, looking back but overlooking what is here and  now. Yet only here and now its cause must be if its effects already
Tx:26.72  looking back but overlooking what is here and now. Yet only here and  now its cause must be if its effects already have been judged as
Tx:26.72  is it protected and kept separate from healing. For a miracle is  now. It stands already here in present grace, within the only
Tx:26.73  has in it all effects that you will see. They can be looked at  now. Why wait till they unfold in time and fear they may not come,
Tx:26.74  content with sighing and with “reasoning” you do not understand it  now but will some day. And then its meaning will be clear. This is
Tx:26.74  in which disaster strikes, to be perceived as “good” some day but  now in form of pain. This is a sacrifice of now, which could not be
Tx:26.74  as “good” some day but now in form of pain. This is a sacrifice of  now, which could not be the cost the Holy Spirit asks for what He
Tx:26.76  meaning and is not your just reward. For you have cause for freedom  now. What profits freedom in a prisoner's form? Why should
Tx:26.76  and what it is cannot be recognized. The Holy Spirit's purpose  now is yours. Should not His happiness be yours as well?
Tx:26.79  white and sparkling in the summer sun. What was a place of death has  now become a living temple in a world of light. Because of Them. It
Tx:26.79  and rendered desolate. What hate has wrought have They undone. And  now you stand on ground so holy Heaven leans to join with it and make

Tx:26.84  that They are welcome made at last. Where stood a cross stands  now the risen Christ, and ancient scars are healed within His sight.
Tx:26.84  the Father and the Son return to what is Theirs and will forever be.  Now is the Holy Spirit's purpose done. For They have come! For They
Tx:26.85  When you perceive it as unfair, you think that a response of anger  now is just. And thus you see what is the same as different.
Tx:27.2  come to him in righteousness. The unjust vengeance that you suffer  now belongs to him, and when it rests on him are you set free. Wish
Tx:27.5  it witnessed to the guilt in him which you perceived and loved.  Now in the hands made gentle by His touch, the Holy Spirit lays a

Tx:27.10  being open and the mind made free again to choose what it is for.  Now is it not condemned, but waiting for a purpose to be given that
Tx:27.30  by the half it canceled out, and so they both are gone. And  now he stands for nothing. Symbols which but represent ideas that
Tx:27.33  it is functionless. Yet in the learning interval it has a use which  now you fear, but yet will love.
Tx:27.37  must be that time is not involved, and every problem can be answered  now. Yet it must also be that in your state of mind solution is
Tx:27.63  Now you are being shown you can escape. All that is needed is you
Tx:27.74  has come to lighten up your sleeping face. The sleep is peaceful  now, for these are happy dreams.
Tx:27.81  too ridiculous for anything but to be laughed away. How serious they  now appear to be! And no one can remember when they would have met
Tx:27.83  world you see depicts exactly what you thought you did. Except that  now you think that what you did is being done to you. The guilt for
Tx:27.90  you separate from the world and kept your brother separate from you.  Now need you but to learn that both of you are innocent or guilty.
Tx:28.2  its past tense. It is perception of the past as if it were occurring  now and still were there to see. Memory, like perception, is a skill
Tx:28.4  that it is hard for you to realize it is a skill that can remember  now. The limitations on remembering the world imposes on it are as
Tx:28.6  you make use of it, and so it is a way to hold the past against the  now.
Tx:28.7  what they are for. Let not the cause that you would give them  now be what it was which made them what they were or seemed to be. Be
Tx:28.7  be pardoned from. And see instead the new effects of cause accepted  now, with consequences here. They will surprise you with their
Tx:28.11  the memory of God returns to them. Their own remembering is quiet  now, and what has come to take its place will not be wholly
Tx:28.13  resound throughout the stillness, yet disturb it not. And what is  now remembered is not fear, but rather is the cause that fear was
Tx:28.14  Now is the Son of God at last aware of present Cause and Its benign
Tx:28.14  Son of God at last aware of present Cause and Its benign effects.  Now does he understand what he has made is causeless, making no
Tx:28.25  as friends with merciful intent. Their enmity is seen as causeless  now, because they did not make it. And you can accept the role of
Tx:28.25  role of maker of their hate, because you see that it has no effects.  Now are you freed from this much of the dream; the world is neutral,
Tx:28.38 There is a way of finding certainty right here and  now. Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams whatever form they take,
Tx:29.5  that lies not within itself. And herein lies its power over you. For  now you think that it determines when you meet and limits your
Tx:29.5  limits your ability to make communion with each other's mind. And  now it tells you where to go and how to go there, what is feasible
Tx:29.11  be you are healed. And being healed, the power to heal must also  now be yours. The miracle is not a separate thing which happens
Tx:29.11  Nor is it in itself a cause. But where its cause is must it be.  Now is it caused, though not as yet perceived. And its effects are
Tx:29.11  And its effects are there, though not yet seen. Look inward  now, and you will not behold a reason for regret but cause indeed for
Tx:29.13  His gifts came with Him. He has laid them at your feet and asks you  now that you will look on them and take them for your own. He needs
Tx:29.14 You do not see how much you  now can give because of everything you have received. Yet He Who
Tx:29.14  on them, you will believe His Presence must be there. For what you  now can do could not be done without the love and grace His Presence
Tx:29.24  because you gave your light to him to save him from the dark. And  now the light in you must be as bright as shines in him. This is the
Tx:29.41  purpose ended; it is gone. And where it once held seeming sway is  now restored the function God established for His Son in full
Tx:29.67  things have all been put away. And what was once a dream of judgment  now has changed into a dream where all is joy because that is the
Tx:29.67  for time is almost over. And the forms which enter in the dream are  now perceived as brothers, not in judgment but in love.
Tx:30.1 The new beginning  now becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is clear, but now
Tx:30.1  now becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is clear, but  now you need specific methods for attaining it. The speed by which it
Tx:30.1  you, but they are more ideas than rules of thought to you as yet. So  now we need to practice them awhile, until they are the rules by
Tx:30.1  they are the rules by which you live. We seek to make them habits  now, so you will have them ready for whatever need.
Tx:30.6 This is your major problem  now. You still make up your mind and then decide to ask what you
Tx:30.10 But there will still be times when you have judged already.  Now the answer will provoke attack unless you quickly straighten out
Tx:30.10  This means you have decided by yourself and cannot see the question.  Now you need a quick restorative before you ask.
Tx:30.16 At least I can decide I do not like what I feel  now.
Tx:30.21  Now you have reached the turning point, because it has occurred to
Tx:30.21  your happiness depends on being right. But this much reason have you  now attained—you would be better off if you were wrong.
Tx:30.24  Now you have changed your mind about the day and have remembered what
Tx:30.27 Thus you  now can ask a question that makes sense, and so the answer will make
Tx:30.34  never lose your will when He gave you His perfect answer. Hear it  now that you may be reminded of His love and learn your will. God
Tx:30.35  born into the world, and thus the rule of fear established there.  Now hear God speak to you through Him Who is His Voice and yours as
Tx:30.37  heal him, and because you have decided with him, he is healed. And  now is God forgiven, for you chose to look upon your brother as a
Tx:30.50  him. And he is afraid because he thought the rules protected him.  Now must he learn the boxes and the bears did not deceive him, broke
Tx:30.58  grasped and welcomed, and the means by which it can be gained can  now be understood. The world becomes a place of hope because its only
Tx:30.64  For He Whose hand you hold was waiting but for you to join Him.  Now that you have come, would He delay in showing you the way that He
Tx:30.82  script you write for every minute in the day, and all that happens  now means something else. You take away another element, and every
Tx:30.89  you see will change, and yet you thought it real before, and  now you think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to form and
Tx:31.1  simple is salvation! All it says is what was never true is not true  now and never will be. The impossible has not occurred and can have
Tx:31.3  is no greater power in the world. The world was made by it and even  now depends on nothing else. The lessons you have taught yourselves
Tx:31.5  to demonstrate, and you have learned what it was made to teach.  Now does your ancient overlearning stand implacable before the Voice
Tx:31.8  world has always made, but you had not perceived it as it was. And  now you see you were mistaken. You had been deceived by forms the
Tx:31.12  thoughts of evil or of good that ever crossed your mind of anyone.  Now do [you] know him not. But you are free to learn of him and learn
Tx:31.12  him not. But you are free to learn of him and learn of him anew.  Now is he born again to you, and you are born again to him without
Tx:31.12  to him without the past that sentenced him to die, and you with him.  Now is he free to live, as you are free because an ancient learning
Tx:31.36  who still believe there is another answer to be found. Learn  now, without despair, there is no hope of answer in the world. But do
Tx:31.36  No longer look for hope where there is none. Make fast your learning  now, and understand you but waste time unless you go beyond what you
Tx:31.48  ensures your brother is condemned eternally. For what you are has  now become his sin. For this is no forgiveness possible. No longer
Tx:31.50  seek to go beyond its roads nor realize the way you see yourself.  Now must the Holy Spirit find a way to help you see this concept of
Tx:31.50  else. For otherwise you would be asked to make exchange of what you  now believe for total loss of self, and greater terror would arise in
Tx:31.51  not yet perceive that this is what you think, you surely learned by  now that you behave as if it were. Does he react for you? And did he
Tx:31.55  by your decision. But this gain is paid in almost equal loss, for  now you stand accused of guilt for what your brother is. And you must
Tx:31.55  him in the image of your own. While only he was treacherous before,  now must you be condemned along with him.
Tx:31.63  as he was an instant previous, nor will he be the same as he is  now an instant hence. Who could have trust where so much change is
Tx:31.71  given you. For your forgiveness, offered unto him, has been accepted  now for both of you.
Tx:31.72  is asked. On its behalf, remember what the concept of yourself which  now you hold has brought you in its wake, and welcome the glad
Tx:31.73 The concept of yourself which  now you hold would guarantee your function here remain forever
Tx:31.75  beholds this One. For there is light where darkness was before, and  now the veil is lifted from his sight.
Tx:31.87  presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice before, you  now can make a better one and thus escape all pain which what you
Tx:31.97 And  now we say “Amen.” For Christ has come to dwell in the abode You set
W1:I.3  two sections, the first dealing with the undoing of what you see  now and the second with the restoration of sight. It is recommended
W1:1.1  Now look slowly around you, and practice applying this idea very
W1:3.2  all past associations, to see things exactly as they appear to you  now, and to realize how little you really understand about them. It
W1:9.4 I do not see this typewriter as it is  now. I do not see this key as it is now. I do not see this telephone
W1:9.4  not see this typewriter as it is now. I do not see this key as it is  now. I do not see this telephone as it is now.
W1:9.4  not see this key as it is now. I do not see this telephone as it is  now.
W1:9.6 I do not see that coat rack as it is  now. I do not see that face as it is now. I do not see that door as
W1:9.6  not see that coat rack as it is now. I do not see that face as it is  now. I do not see that door as it is now.
W1:9.6  I do not see that face as it is now. I do not see that door as it is  now.
W1:10.2  no link is made overtly with the things around you. The emphasis is  now on the lack of reality of what you think you think.
W1:10.3  and then stressed their past rather than their present status.  Now we are emphasizing that the presence of these “thoughts” means
W1:10.5 This idea will help to release me from all that I  now believe.
W1:10.9 This idea will help to release me from all that I  now believe.
W1:12.8  Beneath your words is written the Word of God. The truth upsets you  now, but when your words have been erased, you will see His. That is
W1:15.2  little edges of light around the same familiar objects which you see  now. That is the beginning of real vision. You can be certain that
W1:19.5  subjects for the practice period should be quite familiar to you by  now and will no longer be repeated each day, although it will
W1:20.2  You want to be happy. You want peace. You do not have them  now because your mind is totally undisciplined, and you cannot
W1:20.2  between joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, love and fear. You are  now learning how to tell them apart. And great indeed will be your
W1:20.4  idea also tacitly implies the recognition that you do not see  now. Therefore, as you repeat the idea, you are stating that you are
W1:23.4  Vision already holds a replacement for everything you think you see  now. Loveliness can light your images and so transform them that you
W1:25.3 Another way of describing the goals you  now perceive as valuable is to say that they are all concerned with
W1:26.1  is this law that will ultimately save you. But you are misusing it  now. You must therefore learn how it can be used for your own best
W1:28.1  is not our concern here. If you are willing at least to make them  now, you have started on the way to keeping them. And we are still at
W1:29.3  with love, appreciation, and open-mindedness. You do not see them  now. Would you know what is in them? Nothing is as it appears to you.
W1:29.4 Our six two-minute practice periods for today should follow a  now familiar pattern: begin with repeating the idea to yourself, and
W1:30.3  and trying to realize that the idea applies to everything you do see  now or could see now if it were within the range of your sight.
W1:30.3  that the idea applies to everything you do see now or could see  now if it were within the range of your sight.
W1:34.6 I could see peace in this situation instead of what I  now see in it.
W1:35.1 Today's idea does not describe the way you see yourself  now. It does, however, describe what vision will show you. It is
W1:39.4  is the answer to every question that was ever asked, is being asked  now, or will be asked in the future. Your holiness means the end of
W1:44.5  you practice in this form, you leave behind everything that you  now believe and all the thoughts which you have made up. Properly
W1:45.9  you thought with God in the beginning. They are there in your mind  now, completely unchanged. They will always be in your mind, exactly
W1:47.6  Now try to slip past all concerns related to your own sense of
W1:R1.6  statements nor to apply the ideas as was suggested then. We are  now emphasizing the relationships among the first fifty of the ideas
W1:51.2  that I recognize this, that I may learn to see. What I think I see  now is taking the place of vision. I must let it go by realizing that
W1:51.4  what can be seen and understood and loved. I can exchange what I see  now for this merely by being willing to do so. Is not this a better
W1:52.5 [9] I see nothing as it is  now. If I see nothing as it is now, it can truly be said that I see
W1:52.5 [9] I see nothing as it is now. If I see nothing as it is  now, it can truly be said that I see nothing. I can see only what is
W1:52.5  now, it can truly be said that I see nothing. I can see only what is  now. The choice is not whether to see the past or the present: it is
W1:52.5  whether to see or not. What I have chosen to see has cost me vision.  Now I would choose again that I may see.
W1:53.4  it the illusion of reality, and have suffered from my belief in it.  Now I choose to withdraw this belief and place my trust in reality.
W1:55.2 [21] I am determined to see things differently. What I see  now are but signs of disease, disaster, and death. This cannot be
W1:55.4  and joy. It is this I choose to see in place of what I look on  now.
W1:56.4  and guarantees its continuance. While I see the world as I see it  now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind
W1:59.5  Him. I have tried to define what seeing is, and I have been wrong.  Now it is given me to understand that God is the Light in which I
W1:60.4  I can see it! It will not look anything like what I imagine I see  now. Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I
W1:62.2  having denied your Identity by attacking creation and its Creator.  Now you are learning how to remember the truth. For this, attack must
W1:65.14  and sometimes keep them open and look about you. It is what you see  now that will be totally changed when you accept today's idea
W1:68.7 Determine  now to see all these people as friends. Say to them all collectively,
W1:69.1  is lifted, you are released with him. Share your salvation  now with him who stood beside you when you were in hell. He is your
W1:69.4 Very quietly  now, with your eyes closed, try to let go of all the content which
W1:69.6  remembering only how much you want to reach the light in you today— now. Determine to go past the clouds. Reach out and touch them in
W1:70.12  Now we will try again to reach the light in you, which is where your
W1:72.9  you, locked away from your awareness by the body's limitations.  Now we are going to try to see this differently.
W1:72.11  plan for us is. We are therefore attacking what we do not recognize.  Now we are going to try to lay judgment aside and ask what God's plan
W1:72.14  We have used our grievances to close our eyes and stop our ears.  Now we would see and hear and learn. “What is salvation, Father?” Ask
W1:73.11  of the Son of God from hell and from all idle wishes. His will is  now restored to his awareness. He is willing this very day to look
W1:75.2  ending to your long dream of disaster. There are no dark dreams  now. The light has come. Today the time of light begins for you and
W1:75.4  rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is given us,  now that the light has come.
W1:75.7  have made. You have forgiven the world today. You can look upon it  now as if you never saw it before. You do not know yet what it looks
W1:75.9  the gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe He will not fail you  now. You have forgiven the world. He will be with you as you watch
W1:78.7  in this role. We will attempt to hold him in our mind, first as you  now consider him. We will review his faults, the difficulties you
W1:78.11 Be very quiet  now and look upon your shining savior. No dark grievances obscure the
W1:79.3 That is the position in which you find yourselves  now. You have the answer, but you are still uncertain about what the
W1:80.5  Now let the peace that your acceptance brings be given you. Close
W1:R2.1 We are  now ready for another review. We will begin where our last review
W1:89.2  grievances, which are but illusions that hide the miracles beyond.  Now I would accept only what the laws of God entitle me to have that
W1:92.9  in, for the peace of God is where your Self, His Son, is waiting  now to meet itself again and be as one.
W1:93.2  have bowed down to idols made of dust—all this is true by what you  now believe.
W1:94.5  Now try to reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self that never
W1:94.6  that it will be revealed to all who ask for it. You are asking  now. You cannot fail because He cannot fail.
W1:95.4  if it undertakes extended attempts. You have surely realized this by  now. You have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline and
W1:96.6  itself as helpless, limited, and weak. Dissociated from its function  now, it thinks it is alone and separate, attacked by armies massed
W1:96.6  armies massed against itself and hiding in the body's frail support.  Now must it reconcile unlike with like, for this is what it thinks
W1:99.1  the impossible which has occurred, resulting in a state of conflict  now between what is and what could never be.
W1:99.2 Truth and illusions both are equal  now, for both have happened. The impossible becomes the thing you
W1:99.7 Salvation is your function with the One to Whom the plan was given.  Now are you entrusted with this plan, along with Him. He has one
W1:100.9  Now let us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the world
W1:100.9  us. It is your function that you find it here and that you find it  now. For this you came. Let this one be the day that you succeed!
W1:100.10 He will be there. And you can reach Him  now. What could you rather look upon in place of Him Who waits that
W1:101.10 Today escape from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and  now today's idea brings wings to speed you on and hope to go still
W1:102.1  that it buys you what you want. Yet this belief is surely shaken  now, at least enough to let you question it and to suspect it really
W1:102.5  God's Will for happiness for me, and I accept it as my function  now.
W1:102.7  minute rests, pause frequently today to tell yourself that you have  now accepted happiness as your one function. And be sure that you are
W1:104.3 These are the gifts which are within us  now, for they are timeless. And we need not wait to have them. They
W1:104.3  have them. They belong to us today. Therefore we will to have them  now and know in choosing them in place of what we made we but unite
W1:105.9  and let your mind be free of all that would prevent success today.  Now are you ready to accept the gift of peace and joy which God has
W1:105.9  ready to accept the gift of peace and joy which God has given you.  Now are you ready to experience the joy and peace you have denied
W1:105.9  you ready to experience the joy and peace you have denied yourself.  Now you can say, “God's peace and joy are mine,” for you have given
W1:106.8 Today we practice giving, not the way you understand it  now, but as it is. Each hour's exercises should begin with this
W1:107.3  a hundred times and then be multiplied another hundred more. And  now you have a hint, not more than just the faintest intimation of
W1:107.4  are nowhere. They cannot be found, for truth is everywhere forever  now.
W1:107.7 Truth does not come and go nor shift nor change, in this appearance  now and then in that, evading capture and escaping grasp. It does not
W1:108.1  the Thought behind it will appear instead, to take its place. And  now we are at peace forever, for the dream is over now.
W1:108.1  its place. And now we are at peace forever, for the dream is over  now.
W1:108.9  and to receive are one in truth. I will receive what I am giving  now.
W1:108.13  understood from this time on, and we will make much faster progress  now. Think of the exercises for today as quick advances in your
W1:109.4  hear another voice but yours because you gave your voice to God and  now you rest in Him and let Him speak through you.
W1:109.6  and thankfully accept its healing. No more fearful dreams will come  now that you rest in God. Take time today to slip away from dreams
W1:109.8  thing there is comes closer to all worn and tired minds, too weary  now to go their way alone. And they will hear the bird begin to sing
W1:R3.14  how little you have learned. Do not forget how much you can learn  now. Do not forget your Father's need of you as you review these
W1:121.7  hell through you and turns to you imploringly for Heaven here and  now. It has no hope, but you become its hope. And as its hope, do you
W1:121.11  Now close your eyes and see him in your mind and look at him a while.
W1:121.12  you learned to see around your former “enemy” to him. Perceive him  now as more than friend to you, for in that light his holiness shows
W1:121.12  your “enemy” and friend unite in blessing you with what you gave.  Now are you one with them and they with you. Now have you been
W1:121.12  you with what you gave. Now are you one with them and they with you.  Now have you been forgiven by yourself.
W1:122.7  Do not turn away in aimless wandering again. Accept salvation  now. It is the gift of God and not the world. The world can give no
W1:122.10  reached the turning point at which the road becomes far easier. And  now the way is short that yet we travel. We are close indeed to the
W1:122.12  and you will see another world arise you have no words to picture.  Now we walk directly into light, and we receive the gifts which have
W1:123.2 A day devoted  now to gratitude will add the benefit of some insight into the real
W1:124.6  times as yet to come, as easily as in the ones who walk beside them  now. Their thoughts are timeless and apart from distance as apart
W1:124.7  that we can save and heal accordingly. We have accepted and we  now would give, for we would keep the gifts our Father gave. Today we
W1:126.1  by which salvation comes to you and would not hesitate to use it  now.
W1:126.12  to myself. The Help I need to learn that this is true is with me  now. And I will trust in Him.
W1:127.7  this. For 15 minutes twice today escape from every law in which you  now believe. Open your mind and rest. The world that seems to hold
W1:127.10  aside the world they thought was made in hate to be love's enemy.  Now are they all made free along with us. Now are they all our
W1:127.10  hate to be love's enemy. Now are they all made free along with us.  Now are they all our brothers in God's Love.
W1:129.5  yet how near are you when you exchange it for the world you want.  Now is the last step certain; now you stand an instant's space away
W1:129.5  exchange it for the world you want. Now is the last step certain;  now you stand an instant's space away from timelessness. Here can you
W1:129.11  Now do we understand there is no loss, for we have seen its opposite
W1:131.7  the Will of God be in the past or yet to happen? What He wills is  now, without a past and wholly futureless. It is as far removed from
W1:131.9  He is here because He wills to be, and what He wills is present  now beyond the reach of time.
W1:131.15  it is this request you make today. Nothing but this has any meaning  now; no other goal is valued now nor sought; nothing before this door
W1:131.15  today. Nothing but this has any meaning now; no other goal is valued  now nor sought; nothing before this door you really want, and only
W1:132.2  is free to change his mind, and all his thoughts change with it.  Now the source of thought has shifted, for to change your mind means
W1:132.3  thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find. The present  now remains the only time. Here in the present is the world set free.
W1:132.8  are prepared to learn there is no world and can accept the lesson  now. Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some form which
W1:132.10 A lesson earlier repeated once must  now be stressed again, for it contains the firm foundation for
W1:134.9  Now are you free to follow in the way your true forgiveness opens up
W1:134.11  dream by understanding what he thought he saw was never there. And  now he cannot feel that all escape has been denied to him.
W1:134.18 Let him be freed from all the thoughts you had of sin in him. And  now you are prepared for freedom. If you have been practicing thus
W1:135.17  its choice of what will happen. And it does not see that here and  now is everything it needs to guarantee a future quite unlike the
W1:135.27  And you rise again from what was seeming death and hopelessness.  Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for now you come without
W1:135.27  death and hopelessness. Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for  now you come without defense to learn the part for you within the
W1:136.8  mind and all your world appears to totter and prepare to fall.  Now are you sick that truth may go away and threaten your
W1:136.14  For it lets you think what God has given you is not the truth right  now, as it must be. The thoughts of God are quite apart from time.
W1:136.19  Now is the body healed because the source of sickness has been opened
W1:136.20  and drink, or any laws you made it serve before. You need do nothing  now to make it well, for sickness has become impossible.
W1:137.16  take the place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined.  Now we come together to make well all that was sick and offer
W1:138.7  choice that time was made to help us make. Such is its holy purpose,  now transformed from the intent you gave it, that it be a means for
W1:138.9  are open to correction as the truth dismisses them as causeless.  Now are they without effects. They cannot be concealed because their
W1:138.11  is real, is flimsy and transparent in the light. It holds no terror  now, for what was made enormous, vengeful, pitiless with hate demands
W1:138.11  pitiless with hate demands obscurity for fear to be invested there.  Now it is recognized as but a foolish, trivial mistake.
W1:138.12  we reaffirm the choice that we have made each hour in between. And  now we give the last five minutes of our waking day to the decision
W1:138.13 Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it  now and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want.
W1:140.1  One belief in sickness takes another form, and so the patient  now perceives himself as well.
W1:140.4  makes the sickness possible. And that is cure indeed. For sickness  now is gone, with nothing left to which it can return.
W1:140.11  delay the time when we can hear our Father speak to us. We hear Him  now. We come to Him today.
W1:R4.1  Now we review again, this time aware we are preparing for the second
W1:R4.1  in such a way as will facilitate the readiness which we would  now achieve.
W1:R4.10  close your eyes and say them slowly to yourself. There is no hurry  now, for you are using time for its intended purpose. Let each word
W1:R4.12  you in the peace wherein He wills you be forever and are learning  now to claim again as your inheritance.
W1:151.8  sinlessness. Whom He has judged can only laugh at guilt, unwilling  now to play with toys of sin, unheeding of the body's witnesses
W1:151.16  is the world redeemed and joyfully released from guilt.  Now do we lift our resurrected minds in gladness and in gratitude to
W1:151.17  accepts our holy thoughts which Heaven has corrected and made pure.  Now has our ministry begun at last, to carry round the world the
W1:152.8  awareness then will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is  now. And it will take the place of self-deceptions made but to usurp
W1:152.11  to Heaven and release from hell are joyously accepted as our own.  Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false and only
W1:153.2  to weakness and sets up a system of defense that cannot work.  Now are the weak still further undermined, for there is treachery
W1:153.2  treachery without and still a greater treachery within. The mind is  now confused and knows not where to turn to find escape from its
W1:153.7  the Christ and come to fear His Father's anger. What can save you  now from your delusion of an angry god whose fearful image you
W1:153.7  in all the evils of the world? What but illusions could defend you  now, when it is but illusions which you fight?
W1:153.9  all thought or wish or dream in which attack has any meaning.  Now we cannot fear, for we have left all fearful thoughts behind. And
W1:153.9  in defenselessness we stand secure, serenely certain of our safety  now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose as
W1:153.13  in terror in a fearful world made mad by sin and guilt, be happy  now. That game is over. Now a quiet time has come in which we put
W1:153.13  world made mad by sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over.  Now a quiet time has come in which we put away the toys of guilt and
W1:153.15  our attention to the daily thought as long as possible. Five minutes  now becomes the least we give to preparation for a day in which
W1:153.20  pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing will  now begin to take the earnestness of love to help you keep your mind
W1:154.4  all sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that God created sinless.  Now this mind becomes aware again of Who created it and of His
W1:154.8  of God? For thus do you become His messengers. You are appointed  now. And yet you wait to give the messages you have received, and so
W1:154.9 You who are  now the messengers of God receive His messages, for that is part of
W1:154.15  are true. They are the message sent to us today from our Creator.  Now we demonstrate how they have changed our minds about ourselves
W1:155.5  both are quickly left behind. This is the way appointed for you  now. You walk this path as others walk, nor do you seem to be
W1:155.6  which you bring their eyes to look on and their minds to grasp.  Now can the truth, which walks ahead of you, speak to them through
W1:155.6  speak to them through illusion, for the road leads past illusion  now, while on the way you call to them that they may follow you.
W1:155.9 Walk safely  now, yet carefully because this path is new to you. And you may find
W1:155.9  you walk with certainty of purpose to the truth. It goes before you  now, that they may see something with which they can identify,
W1:155.12  the holy Son of God? We walk to God. The truth that walks before us  now is one with Him and leads us to where He has always been. What
W1:155.14 And  now He asks but that you think of Him a while each day that He may
W1:156.7  Companion, and mistake Him for the senseless, ancient dream that  now is past.
W1:157.2  crucial turning point in the curriculum. We add a new dimension  now—a fresh experience that sheds a light on all that we have
W1:157.4 He will direct your practicing today, for what you ask for  now is what He wills. And having joined your will with His this day,
W1:157.6 Your body will be sanctified today, its only purpose being  now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the
W1:157.8  will come when you will not return in the same form in which you  now appear, for you will have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose
W1:157.8  form in which you now appear, for you will have no need of it. Yet  now it has a purpose and will serve it well. Today we will embark
W1:157.9 Into Christ's Presence will we enter  now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining face and
W1:159.2  is no miracle you cannot give, for all are given you. Receive them  now by opening the storehouse of your mind where they are laid and
W1:159.9  one they came from and to which they go again with added fragrance.  Now are they twice blessed. The messages they brought from Christ
W1:160.2  comes and yet maintains his home belongs to him, while he is alien  now who is at home.
W1:160.5  more like me than myself and give him all I thought belonged to me.”  Now is he exiled of necessity, not knowing who he is, uncertain of
W1:160.6 What does he search for  now? What can he find? A stranger to himself can find no home
W1:160.6  a miracle will search him out and show him that he is no stranger  now. The miracle will come. For in his home his Self remains. It
W1:160.7  the stranger? Is he not the one your Self calls not? You are unable  now to recognize this stranger in your midst, for you have given him
W1:161.1  is Atonement made complete, the world passed safely by, and Heaven  now restored. Here is the answer of the Voice of God.
W1:161.2  abstraction is the natural condition of the mind. But part of it is  now unnatural. It does not look on everything as one. It sees instead
W1:161.3 Thus were specifics made. And  now it is specifics we must use in practicing. We give them to the
W1:161.11  in a form we have attempted earlier. Your readiness is closer  now, and you will come today nearer Christ's vision. If you are
W1:161.12  he makes so frequently. Then think of this—what you are seeing  now conceals from you the sight of one who can forgive you all your
W1:161.15  will hear the Voice of God in you and answer in your own. Behold him  now whom you had seen as merely flesh and bone and recognize that
W1:162.4  the mind of him who uses them. So wholly is it changed that it is  now the treasury in which God places all His gifts and all His Love
W1:162.5 We honor you today. Yours is the right to perfect holiness you  now accept. With this acceptance is salvation brought to everyone,
W1:162.6 And who would not be brother to you  now—you, his redeemer and his savior. Who could fail to welcome you
W1:163.8  you will show them this today. There is no death, and we renounce it  now in every form for their salvation and our own as well. God made
W1:164.1 What time but  now can truth be recognized? The present is the only time there is.
W1:164.1  The present is the only time there is. And so today, this instant,  now, we come to look upon what is forever there—not in our sight,
W1:164.5  vain imaginings part like a curtain to reveal what lies beyond them.  Now is what is really there made visible, while all the shadows which
W1:164.5  while all the shadows which appeared to hide it sink to obscurity.  Now is the balance righted and the scales of judgment left to Him Who
W1:164.5  judgment will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes.  Now will you see it with the eyes of Christ. Now is its
W1:164.5  before your eyes. Now will you see it with the eyes of Christ.  Now is its transformation clear to you.
W1:164.8  us and offer it the freedom given us through His forgiving vision,  now our own. Open the curtain in your practicing by merely letting go
W1:165.5  sought. What would you then exchange it for? What would induce you  now to let it fade away from your ecstatic vision? For this sight
W1:165.6  Now is all doubting past, the journey's end made certain, and
W1:165.6  past, the journey's end made certain, and salvation given you.  Now is Christ's power in your mind to heal as you were healed. For
W1:165.6  Now is Christ's power in your mind to heal as you were healed. For  now you are among the saviors of the world. Your destiny lies there
W1:166.9 Your ancient fear has come upon you  now, and justice has caught up with you at last. Christ's hand has
W1:166.11  Now do we live, for now we cannot die. The wish for death is
W1:166.11 Now do we live, for  now we cannot die. The wish for death is answered, and the sight that
W1:166.11  The wish for death is answered, and the sight that looked upon it  now has been replaced by vision which perceives that you are not what
W1:166.12  you have are not for you alone. What He has come to offer you, you  now must learn to give. This is the lesson that His giving holds, for
W1:166.13  understand they but pursue their wishes. It is you who teach them  now. For you have learned of Christ there is another way for them to
W1:166.14 Your sighs will  now betray the hopes of those who look to you for their release. Your
W1:166.15  accept His gifts and feel the touch of Christ. Such is your mission  now. For God entrusts the giving of His gifts to all who have
W1:166.15  to all who have received them. He has shared His joy with you. And  now you go to share it with the world.
W1:167.12  in the holy minds which He created perfect. As we were, so are we  now and will forever be. A sleeping mind must waken as it sees its
W1:167.12  Lord of Life so perfectly it fades into what is reflected there. And  now it is no more a mere reflection. It becomes the thing reflected
W1:167.12  reflected and the light which makes reflection possible. No vision  now is needed. For the wakened mind is one that knows its Source, its
W1:168.4 God loves His Son. Request Him  now to give the means by which this world will disappear, and vision
W1:168.4  every face as hearts rise up and claim the light as theirs. What  now remains that Heaven be delayed an instant longer? What remains
W1:168.7 Your grace is given me. I claim it  now. Father, I come to You. And You will come to me who asks. I am
W1:169.5  them and no part of mind sufficiently distinct to feel that it is  now aware of something not itself. It has united with its Source, and
W1:169.7  that the time the mind itself determined to abandon all but this is  now at hand. We do not hasten it, in that what you will offer was
W1:169.8  constant state, forever as it always was; forever to remain as it is  now. We merely take the part assigned long since and fully recognized
W1:169.9  of your oneness comes, it will be known and fully understood.  Now we have work to do, for those in time can speak of things beyond
W1:169.11 And  now we ask for grace, the final gift salvation can bestow. Experience
W1:170.4  your mind into two camps which seem wholly irreconcilable. For love  now has an “enemy,” an opposite; and fear, the alien, now needs your
W1:170.4  For love now has an “enemy,” an opposite; and fear, the alien,  now needs your defense against the threat of what you really are.
W1:170.10  is loved by those who worship it, and love appears to be invested  now with cruelty.
W1:170.11  fear perceive their own confusion in fear's “enemy,” its cruelty as  now a part of love. And what becomes more fearful than the heart of
W1:170.13  Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them. Now
W1:170.13 Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks through them.  Now your voice belongs to God and echoes His. And now your heart
W1:170.13  through them. Now your voice belongs to God and echoes His. And  now your heart remains at peace forever. You have chosen Him in place
W1:170.13  are restored to you at last. The Call of God is heard and answered.  Now has fear made way for love, as God Himself replaces cruelty.
W1:170.14  are one with us. We bring them Your salvation as we have received it  now. And we give thanks for them who render us complete. In them we
W1:R5.1 We  now review again. This time we are ready to give more effort and more
W1:R5.1  walk uncertainly and slowly on the road this course sets forth. But  now we hasten on, for we approach a greater certainty, a firmer
W1:R5.3  off, but You will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps  now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we
W1:R5.4  and true, and more descriptive of the holy Self we share and  now prepare to know again:
W1:R5.8  see, but still retaining in his mind the way that led him out and  now will lead you out with him. God's Son is crucified until you walk
W1:R5.9  the light in him and looks for me. I have forgotten no one. Help me  now to lead you back to where the journey was begun, to make another
W1:R5.12  Hallowed your name. Your glory undefiled forever. And your wholeness  now complete, as God established it. You are His Son, completing His
W1:174.2 [157] Into His Presence would I enter  now. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:177.3 [164]  Now are we one with Him Who is our Source. God is but Love, and
W1:179.3 [168] Your grace is given me. I claim it  now. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:I2.1  total dedication all the time, as yet. But you are asked to practice  now in order to attain the sense of peace such unified commitment
W1:I2.2 Our lessons  now are geared specifically to widening horizons and direct
W1:I2.2  too limited to let you see the value of our goal. We are attempting  now to lift these blocks, however briefly. Words alone cannot convey
W1:I2.3  denied. It may be there, but you cannot accept its presence. So we  now attempt to go past all defenses for a little while each day. No
W1:181.2  this focus, and what you behold will change accordingly. Your vision  now will shift to give support to the intent which has replaced the
W1:181.3  for innocence and nothing else. We seek for it with no concern but  now.
W1:181.5  to past beliefs, and what we will believe will not intrude upon us  now. We enter in the time of practicing with one intent—to look
W1:181.10  into the present. And we give our trust to the experience we ask for  now. Our sinlessness is but the Will of God. This instant is our
W1:182.4  The childhood of your body and its place of shelter are a memory  now so distorted that you merely hold a picture of a past that never
W1:182.12  accept it in exchange for all the toys of battle you have made. And  now the way is open, and the journey has an end in sight at last. Be
W1:183.11  He calls on Him to let all things he thought he made be nameless  now, and in their place the holy Name of God becomes his judgment of
W1:183.12 All little things are silent. Little sounds are soundless  now. The little things of earth have disappeared. The universe
W1:184.14  which kept us blind. And we are given strength to see beyond them.  Now our sight is blessed with blessings we can give as we receive.
W1:185.5  which bring illusions. He has looked on them and found them wanting.  Now he seeks to go beyond them, recognizing that another dream would
W1:185.8  dismayed by lingering illusions, for their form is not what matters  now. Let not some dreams be more acceptable, reserving shame and
W1:186.12  given you by your Creator, Who remembers you and urges that you  now remember Him.
W1:187.3  look upon. Herein is the idea of giving clarified and given meaning.  Now you can perceive that by your giving is your store increased.
W1:187.8  must be made. Your blessing will correct it. Given first to you, it  now is yours to give as well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can
W1:187.10  Now are we one in thought, for fear has gone. And here, before the
W1:187.11  Now are we blessed, and now we bless the world. What we have looked
W1:187.11 Now are we blessed, and  now we bless the world. What we have looked upon we would extend, for
W1:188.1  seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them  now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. Light
W1:188.3 The peace of God is shining in you  now and from your heart extends around the world. It pauses to caress
W1:188.5  he recognized the truth in him. The peace of God is shining in you  now and in all living things. In quietness is it acknowledged
W1:188.8  home. We have betrayed them, ordering that they depart from us. But  now we call them back and wash them clean of strange desires and
W1:188.9  it did to us. For it is we who make the world as we would have it.  Now we choose that it be innocent, devoid of sin, and open to
W1:188.10 The peace of God is shining in me  now. Let all things shine upon me in that peace, and let me bless
W1:189.1  your sight. This light is a reflection of the thought we practice  now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see the world anew,
W1:189.10  be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a part of Heaven  now. Amen.
W1:190.5  will accept your holy will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful  now becomes a source of innocence and holiness.
W1:192.4  the world a clean and unmarked slate on which the Word of God can  now replace the senseless symbols written there before. Forgiveness
W1:192.4  the fear of death is overcome because it holds no fierce attraction  now, and guilt is gone.
W1:192.10  your mercy. It is he who asks that you accept the way to freedom  now. Deny him not. His Father's Love for him belongs to you. Your
W1:192.10  He is as God created him. And you are what he is. Forgive him  now his sins, and you will see that you are one with him.
W1:193.4  mind of His most holy Son with peace and joy fulfills His function  now. He redirects each lesson you would teach in hate to one in which
W1:193.4  enters, and returns the hate to love, so that the fear is gone. And  now guilt cannot enter, for its source has been excluded as the
W1:193.12  forget His Love and all the gifts His Love brings with it. Would you  now renounce your own salvation? Would you fail to learn the simple
W1:193.15 Give all you can and give a little more, for  now we would arise in haste and go unto our Father's house. We have
W1:194.1  with certainty the final step of God. How far are we progressing  now from earth! How close are we approaching to our goal! How short
W1:194.4  well because the past will punish you no more and future dread will  now be meaningless.
W1:194.5  light that was kept hidden in God's Son is freed to bless the world.  Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a world made free with
W1:194.9  Now are we saved indeed. For in God's hands we rest untroubled, sure
W1:195.2  a prison that they thought contained no door to the deliverance they  now perceive.
W1:195.3  despair so bitter and relentless that there is no hope remaining.  Now is vengeance all there is to wish for. Now can you but try to
W1:195.3  is no hope remaining. Now is vengeance all there is to wish for.  Now can you but try to bring him down to lie in death with you, as
W1:195.8  aside. What more remains as obstacles to peace? The fear of God is  now undone at last, and we forgive without comparing. Thus we cannot
W1:196.8  by your own thoughts, the fear of God must disappear. You do not  now believe that fear is caused without. And God, Whom you had
W1:196.11  Now for an instant is a murderer perceived within you, eager for your
W1:197.9  be His thoughts, sharing with Him the holy thoughts of God. Earn  now the gratitude you have denied yourself when you forgot the
W1:198.1  can injure, and the right you have established for yourself can be  now used against you till you lay it down as valueless, unwanted, and
W1:198.1  be undone. Then are you free, for freedom is your gift, and you can  now receive the gift you gave.
W1:198.13  Now is there silence all around the world. Now is there stillness
W1:198.13 Now is there silence all around the world.  Now is there stillness where before there was a frantic rush of
W1:198.13  before there was a frantic rush of thoughts that made no sense.  Now is there tranquil light across the face of earth, made quiet in a
W1:198.13  light across the face of earth, made quiet in a dreamless sleep. And  now the Word of God alone remains upon it. Only that can be perceived
W1:198.15  far and recognize that He Who brought us here will not forsake us  now. For He would give to us the gift that God has given us through
W1:198.15  would give to us the gift that God has given us through Him today.  Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has come. The time has
W1:199.6  freedom. In Him they find what they have sought. The body's purpose  now is unambiguous. And it becomes perfect in the ability to serve an
W1:199.7  afraid. Let love replace their fears through you. Accept salvation  now, and give your mind to Him Who calls to you to make this gift to
W1:200.8  journeys, frantic, vain pursuits, and meaningless endeavors.  Now the way is easy, sloping gently toward the bridge where freedom
W1:200.10  Now is there silence. Seek no further. You have come to where the
W1:200.10  desires, fallen from the trees of hopelessness you sought before.  Now are they underfoot. And you look up and on toward Heaven, with
W1:200.10  Heaven, with the body's eyes but serving for an instant longer  now. Peace is already recognized at last, and you can feel its soft
W1:R6.11  you call to Him to help you. Let us offer Him the whole review we  now begin, and let us also not forget to Whom it has been given as we
W1:208.1 [188] The peace of God is shining in me  now. I will be still and let the earth be still along with me. And in
W1:209.1 [189] I feel the Love of God within me  now. The Love of God is what created me. The Love of God is
W1:214.1  future in the hands of God. The past is gone; the future is not yet.  Now am I freed from both. For what God gives can only be for good.
W2:I.1 Words will mean little  now. We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. For now
W2:I.1  will mean little now. We use them but as guides on which we do not  now depend. For now we seek direct experience of truth alone. The
W2:I.1  now. We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. For  now we seek direct experience of truth alone. The lessons which
W2:I.1  the times in which we leave the world of pain and go to enter peace.  Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set and find the end
W2:I.2  Now we attempt to let the exercise be merely a beginning. For we wait
W2:I.2  are sure His promises are kept. We have come far along the road, and  now we wait for Him. We will continue spending time with Him each
W2:I.2  as makes us happy. We will not consider time a matter of duration  now. We use as much as we will need for the result that we desire.
W2:I.4  Now do we come to Him with but His Word upon our minds and hearts.
W2:I.4  will offer it, and it will be accepted. So our times with Him will  now be spent. We say the words of invitation that His Voice suggests,
W2:I.5  Now is the time of prophecy fulfilled. Now are all ancient promises
W2:I.5 Now is the time of prophecy fulfilled.  Now are all ancient promises upheld and fully kept. No step remains
W2:I.5  No step remains for time to separate from its accomplishment. For  now we cannot fail. Sit silently and wait upon your Father. He has
W2:I.6  exchange for its replacement given us by You. We look not backward  now. We look ahead and fix our eyes upon the journey's end. Accept
W2:I.7 And  now we wait in silence, unafraid and certain of Your coming. We have
W2:I.7  but You did not forget us. And we know that You will not forget us  now. We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept which are Your
W2:I.9  make of Him. And we believed that our insane desires were the truth.  Now we are glad that this is all undone, and we no longer think
W2:I.10  Now is the need for practice almost done. For in this final section
W2:I.10  the way God's plan will end, as we received the way it started.  Now it is complete. This year has brought us to eternity.
W2:I.11  blessed instants in the day. We give the first of these instructions  now.
W2:WF.1  and therefore lets it go. What then is free to take its place is  now the Will of God.
W2:WF.5  has forgiven you already, for such is His function given Him by God.  Now must you share His function and forgive whom He has saved, whose
W2:221.2  Now do we wait in quiet. God is here because we wait together. I am
W2:222.2  upon our lips and in our minds as we come quietly into Your Presence  now and ask to rest with You in peace a while.
W2:223.1  which moved in isolation, unattached, and housed within a body.  Now I know my life is God's. I have no other home, and I do not exist
W2:224.2  where I am going, who I am, or what it is I do. Remind me, Father,  now, for I am weary of the world I see. Reveal what You would have me
W2:225.2 Brother, we find that stillness  now. The way is open. Now we follow it in peace together. You have
W2:225.2 Brother, we find that stillness now. The way is open.  Now we follow it in peace together. You have reached your hand to me,
W2:226.1  the purpose of the world. If I believe it has a value as I see it  now, so will it still remain for me. But if I see no value in the

W2:229.1  and find it in these words: “Love, Which created me, is what I am.”  Now need I seek no more. Love has prevailed. So still it waited for
W2:230.1  is God my Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever.  Now I ask but to be what I am. And can this be denied me, when it is
W2:230.2  You gave as mine in my creation. What was given then must be here  now, for my creation was apart from time and still remains beyond all
W2:WS.2  of the mind that still was one but failed to recognize its oneness.  Now it did not know itself and thought its own Identity was lost.
W2:WS.3  it merely lets them quietly go down to dust. And what they hid is  now revealed—an altar to the holy Name of God whereon His Word is
W2:WS.4  by God. The grass is pushing through the soil, the trees are budding  now, and birds have come to live within their branches. Earth is
W2:WS.5  dreams are done, eternity has shined away the world, and only Heaven  now exists at all.
W2:WIW.1  truth, where all the world must disappear and all its errors vanish.  Now its source has gone, and its effects are gone as well.
W2:WIW.2  cause such insane thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely.  Now mistakes become quite possible, for certainty has gone.
W2:WIW.3 The mechanisms of illusion have been born instead. And  now they go to find what has been given them to seek. Their aim is to
W2:241.1  This is the time of hope for countless millions. They will be united  now as you forgive them all. For I will be forgiven by you today.
W2:241.2 We have forgiven one another  now, and so we come at last to You again. Father, Your Son, who never
W2:248.1 I have disowned the truth.  Now let me be as faithful in disowning falsity. Whatever suffers is
W2:248.1  was never living in reality and did but mock the truth about myself.  Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy Son of
W2:248.1  disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy Son of God.  Now am I ready to accept him back as God created him, and as he is.
W2:248.2  lets me love Your Son again as well. Father, I am as You created me.  Now is Your Love remembered and my own. Now do I understand that they
W2:248.2  I am as You created me. Now is Your Love remembered and my own.  Now do I understand that they are one.
W2:249.1  no sense. Attack is gone, and madness has an end. What suffering is  now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world becomes a
W2:249.1  a place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving. It is  now so like to Heaven that it quickly is transformed into the Light
W2:249.2  bitterness, and frightened them with thoughts of violence and death.  Now would we rest again in You, as You created us.
W2:WIS.2  Its purpose is to strive. Yet can the goal of striving change. And  now the body serves a different aim for striving. What it seeks for
W2:WIS.2  now the body serves a different aim for striving. What it seeks for  now is chosen by the aim the mind has taken as replacement for the
W2:251.1 I sought for many things and found despair.  Now do I seek but one, for in that one is all I need and only what I
W2:251.1  not and did not even want. My only need I did not recognize. But  now I see that I need only truth. In that, all needs are satisfied,
W2:251.1  cravings end, all hopes are finally fulfilled, and dreams are gone.  Now have I everything that I could need. Now have I everything that I
W2:251.1  and dreams are gone. Now have I everything that I could need.  Now have I everything that I could want. And now at last I find
W2:251.1  that I could need. Now have I everything that I could want. And  now at last I find myself at peace.
W2:252.1 My Self is holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I  now conceive. Its shimmering and perfect purity is far more brilliant
W2:252.2 Father, You know my true Identity. Reveal it  now to me who am Your Son, that I may waken to the truth in You and
W2:254.2  with them. And so we do not choose to keep them. They are silent  now. And in the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and
W2:260.2  Now is our Source remembered, and therein we find our true Identity
W2:WIB.4  to reach his brother and to help him walk along the road with him.  Now is the body holy. Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made
W2:WIB.4  and to help him walk along the road with him. Now is the body holy.  Now it serves to heal the mind that it was made to kill.
W2:267.1  fills my heart and floods my body with the purpose of forgiveness.  Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the world is given me.
W2:270.1  more of time, which ends forever as Your memory returns to him. And  now his will is one with Yours. His function now is but Your own, and
W2:270.1  returns to him. And now his will is one with Yours. His function  now is but Your own, and every thought except Your own is gone.
W2:WIC.5  face be seen, when it is but the symbol that the time for learning  now is over and the goal of the Atonement has been reached at last?
W2:273.1 Perhaps we are  now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. If this is not yet
W2:279.1  his dreams are gone, with truth established in their place. And  now is freedom his already. Should I wait in chains which have been
W2:279.1  which have been severed for release, when God is offering me freedom  now?
W2:283.2  Now are we one in shared Identity, with God our Father as our only
W2:289.1  past was made to hide, for this the world that can be looked on only  now. It has no past. For what can be forgiven but the past, and if it
W2:WIRW.5 The Holy Spirit has no need of time when it has served His purpose.  Now He waits but that one instant more for God to take His final
W2:WISC.4  For everyone who ever came to die or yet will come or who is present  now is equally released from what he made. In this equality is Christ
W2:302.1  We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom You created.  Now we see that darkness is our own imagining and light is there for
W2:308.1  future one. The only interval in which I can be saved from time is  now. For in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. The
W2:308.1  instant has forgiveness come to set me free. The birth of Christ is  now, without a past or future. He has come to give His present
W2:308.1  it to timelessness and love. And love is ever-present, here and  now.
W2:308.2 Thanks for this instant, Father. It is  now I am redeemed. This instant is the time You have appointed for
W2:WILJ.1  you see a world which has accepted this as true, projected from a  now corrected mind. And with this holy sight, perception gives a
W2:WILJ.2  forgiven, without sin and wholly purposeless. Without a cause and  now without a function in Christ's sight, it merely slips away to
W2:WILJ.2  the figures in the dream in which the world began go with it. Bodies  now are useless and will therefore fade away because the Son of God
W2:313.1  all its sins forgiven, for He sees no sin in anything He looks upon.  Now let His true perception come to me that I may waken from the
W2:314.1  world there comes a future very different from the past. The future  now is recognized as but extension of the present. Past mistakes can
W2:314.1  being formless, it has no effects. Death will not claim the future  now, for life is now its goal, and all the needed means are happily
W2:314.1  it has no effects. Death will not claim the future now, for life is  now its goal, and all the needed means are happily provided. Who can
W2:314.2  were mistaken in the past and choose to use the present to be free.  Now do we leave the future in Your hands, leaving behind our past
W2:315.2  Son of God. My brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me.  Now may I offer them my thankfulness that gratitude to them may lead
W2:321.1  I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me.  Now I would guide myself no more. For I have neither made nor
W2:323.2  to us in wholeness and in joy. We are deceived no longer. Love has  now returned to our awareness. And we are at peace again, for fear
W2:332.2  has given us the means to set it free. Father, we would release it  now. For as we offer freedom, it is given us. And we would not remain
W2:337.1  for I need but accept my Self, my sinlessness, created for me,  now already mine, to feel God's Love protecting me from harm, to
W2:337.2  sinned, but I accept Atonement for myself. Father, my dream is ended  now. Amen.
W2:338.1  For in this single thought is everyone released at last from fear.  Now he has learned that no one frightens him and nothing can endanger
W2:WIM.2  before, and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest.  Now is perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen as
W2:WIM.2  distortions that were manifest. Now is perception open to the truth.  Now is forgiveness seen as justified.
W2:WIM.5  and dusty world, where starved and thirsty creatures came to die.  Now they have water. Now the world is green. And everywhere the signs
W2:WIM.5  starved and thirsty creatures came to die. Now they have water.  Now the world is green. And everywhere the signs of life spring up to
W2:342.2 Brother, forgive me  now. I come to you to take you home with me. And as we go, the world
W2:WAI.2 Our use for words is almost over  now. Yet in the final days of this one year we gave to God together,
W2:WAI.5  We bring glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought he suffered.  Now is he redeemed. And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open
W2:355.1  waits for me, and I need but reach out my hand to find it. Even  now my fingers touch it. It is very close. I need not wait an instant
W2:FL.5  the gift our Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven  now. And we are saved from all the wrath we thought belonged to God
W2:E.4 And  now I place you in His hands, to be His faithful followers, with Him
W2:E.4  you of your Father and your brother and your Self. He will continue;  now you walk with Him as certain as is He of where you go; as sure as
M:1.4  it is time alone that winds on wearily, and the world is very tired  now. It is old and worn and without hope. There was never a question
M:2.3  the world of illusion. What happened long ago seems to be happening  now. Choices made long since appear to be open, yet to be made. What
M:2.4  that is relived again and again and still again, it seems to be  now. And thus it is that pupil and teacher seem to come together in
M:2.4  because he made the right choice in that ancient instant which he  now relives. So has the teacher, too, made an inevitable choice out
M:4.6  learned that the changes in his life are always helpful, he must  now decide all things on the basis of whether they increase the
M:4.8  Now comes a “period of settling down.” This is a quiet time in which
M:4.8  time in which the teacher of God rests a while in reasonable peace.  Now he consolidates his learning. Now he begins to see the transfer
M:4.8  rests a while in reasonable peace. Now he consolidates his learning.  Now he begins to see the transfer value of what he has learned. Its
M:4.8  Its potential is literally staggering, and the teacher of God is  now at the point in his progress at which he sees in it his whole way
M:4.8  he is ready to go on, he goes with mighty companions beside him.  Now he rests a while and gathers them before going on. He will not go
M:4.9 The next stage is indeed a “period of unsettling.”  Now must the teacher of God understand that he did not really know
M:4.9  for him to judge. He thought he had learned willingness, but  now he sees that he does not know what the willingness is for. And
M:4.9  now he sees that he does not know what the willingness is for. And  now he must attain a state that may remain impossible for a long,
M:4.10  a “period of achievement.” It is here that learning is consolidated.  Now what was seen as merely shadows before becomes solid gains, to be
M:4.16  the inevitable result of gentleness. Gentleness means that fear is  now impossible, and what could come to interfere with joy? The open
M:4.20  right as is the answer. And this is true for everything that happens  now or in the future. The past as well held no mistakes—nothing
M:4.24  they could never have conceived of such a change. Nothing is  now as it was formerly. Nothing but sparkles now which seemed so dull
M:4.24  a change. Nothing is now as it was formerly. Nothing but sparkles  now which seemed so dull and lifeless before. And above all are all
M:4.24  for threat is gone. No clouds remain to hide the face of Christ.  Now is the goal achieved. Forgiveness is the final goal of the
M:5.3  is. But if he chooses death himself, his weakness is his strength.  Now has he given himself what God would give to him and thus entirely
M:5.7  What do guilt and sickness, pain, disaster, and all suffering mean  now? Having no purpose, they are gone. And with them also go all the
M:7.1  concerned about the result of healing is to limit the healing. It is  now the teacher of God himself whose mind needs to be healed. And it
M:7.1  mind needs to be healed. And it is this he must facilitate. He is  now the patient, and he must so regard himself. He has made a mistake
M:7.2  maximal, because the Holy Spirit so accepted it and so used it.  Now the teacher of God has only one course to follow. He must use his
M:10.3  that his judgment would be wholly fair to everyone on whom it rests,  now and in the future. Who is in a position to do this? Who except in
M:10.5  lay judgment down, not with regret but with a sigh of gratitude.  Now are you free of a burden so great that you could merely stagger
M:10.5  and fall down beneath it. And it was all illusion. Nothing more.  Now can the teacher of God rise up unburdened and walk lightly on.
M:10.5  with judgment. He gave himself to Him Whose judgment he has chosen  now to trust instead of his own. Now he makes no mistakes. His Guide
M:10.5  to Him Whose judgment he has chosen now to trust instead of his own.  Now he makes no mistakes. His Guide is sure. And where he came to
M:10.5  Guide is sure. And where he came to judge, he comes to bless. Where  now he laughs, he used to come to weep.
M:10.6  sickening despair and fear of death—all these have come of it. And  now he knows that these things need not be. Not one is true. For he
M:11.4  to welcome peace. And peace descends on it in joyous answer. Peace  now belongs here, because a thought of God has entered. What else but
M:11.4  gracious Presence, and it leans down in answer to raise it up again.  Now is the question different. It is no longer, “Can peace be
M:12.1  the Self Who is the Son of God. He who was always wholly spirit  now no longer sees Himself as a body or even as in a body. Therefore
M:12.2  a change of mind. Nothing external alters, but everything internal  now reflects only the Love of God. God can no longer be feared, for
M:12.2  minds are one; their joining is complete. And God works through them  now as One, for that is what they are.
M:12.5  is. He does not suffer either in going or remaining. Sickness is  now impossible to him.
M:13.1  the nothingness from which it came when there is no more use for it.  Now its real meaning is a lesson. Like all lessons, it is an
M:13.3  what a sacrifice—and it is sacrifice indeed—all this entails!  Now has the mind condemned itself to seek without finding, to be
M:13.6  want? You have been called by God, and you have answered. Would you  now sacrifice that Call? Few have heard it as yet, and they can but
M:14.1  and ending guilt forever. So ends the world that guilt had made, for  now it has no purpose and is gone. The father of illusions is the
M:14.5  for what they teach are lessons in which Heaven is reflected. And  now sit down in true humility and realize that all God would have you
M:15.2  forever in the Heart of God. Where is the world and where is sorrow  now?
M:17.5  of guilt. Who usurps the place of God and takes it for himself  now has a deadly “enemy.” And he must stand alone in his protection
M:17.7 But what will  now be your reaction to all magic thoughts? They can but reawaken
M:17.7  has guilt already raised madness to the throne of God Himself. And  now there is no hope. Except to kill. Here is salvation now. An angry
M:17.7  Himself. And now there is no hope. Except to kill. Here is salvation  now. An angry Father pursues His guilty Son. Kill or be killed, for
M:17.8  never justified. Once this is even dimly grasped, the way is open.  Now it is possible to take the next step. The interpretation can be
M:17.9  yet is the anger certain witness that you do believe in it as fact.  Now is escape impossible until you see you have responded to your own
M:17.9  projected on an outside world. Let this grim sword be taken from you  now. There is no death. This sword does not exist. The fear of God is
M:18.2  the truth about themselves. Through them, the Holy Spirit can  now speak of the reality of the Son of God. Now He can remind the
M:18.2  the Holy Spirit can now speak of the reality of the Son of God.  Now He can remind the world of sinlessness, the one unchanged,
M:18.2  the one unchanged, unchangeable condition of all that God created.  Now He can speak the Word of God to listening ears and bring Christ's
M:18.2  to listening ears and bring Christ's vision to the eyes that see.  Now is He free to teach all minds the truth of what they are, so they
M:18.2  truth of what they are, so they will gladly be returned to Him. And  now is guilt forgiven, overlooked completely in His sight and in
M:18.3  belief is taken as replacement for God's Word. The body's eyes  now “see”; its ears alone are thought to hear. Its little space and
M:19.4  to God the lens of warped perception through which you look.  Now it belongs to Him and not to you. You are afraid of Him and do
M:19.5  rests, the mind is still, and light returns again. Vision is  now restored. What had been lost has now been found. The peace of God
M:19.5  light returns again. Vision is now restored. What had been lost has  now been found. The peace of God descends on all the world and we can
M:20.3  Yet when peace is found, the war is meaningless. And it is conflict  now that is perceived as non-existent and unreal.
M:20.4  will certainly return. War is again accepted as the one reality.  Now must you once again lay down your sword, although you may not
M:20.4  picked it up again. But you will learn, as you remember even faintly  now what happiness was yours without it, that you must have taken it
M:20.4  that you must have taken it again as your defense. Stop for a moment  now and think of this: is conflict what you want, or is God's peace
M:20.6  reality. In truth there is no conflict, because His Will is yours.  Now is the mighty Will of God Himself His gift to you. He does not
M:22.5  correct mistakes, and distorted perception does not heal. Step back  now, teacher of God. You have been wrong. Lead not the way, for you
M:22.7  where healing should be given and where it should be withheld.  Now can he say with God, “This is my beloved Son, created perfect and
M:23.2  doing he has recognized all living things as part of him. There is  now no limit on his power, because it is the Power of God. So has his
M:23.6  him, for he did not go alone. And you were with him then, as you are  now.
M:24.2  would not, under any circumstances, be the problem to be dealt with  now. If it were responsible for some of the difficulties the
M:24.2  were responsible for some of the difficulties the individual faces  now, his task would still be only to escape from them now. If he is
M:24.2  faces now, his task would still be only to escape from them  now. If he is laying the groundwork for a future life, he can still
M:24.2  for a future life, he can still work out his salvation only  now. To some there may be comfort in the concept, and if it heartens
M:24.6  in the future. Heaven is here. There is nowhere else. Heaven is  now. There is no other time. No teaching that does not lead to this
M:25.5  Yet, given a remaining wish to be deceived, deception is made easy.  Now the “power” is no longer a genuine ability and cannot be used
M:27.1  and dying in the end? We have asked this question before, but  now we need to consider it still more carefully. It is the one fixed,
M:27.2  that life is real. Death has become life's symbol. His world is  now a battleground where contradiction reigns and opposites make
M:27.5  sharply evident. Death is indeed the death of God if He is Love. And  now His own creation must stand in fear of Him. He is not Father but
M:27.7  What seems to die has but been misperceived and carried to illusion.  Now it becomes your task to let the illusion be brought to the truth.
M:27.7  Nothing but this: the realization that the Son of God is guiltless  now and forever. Nothing but this. But do not let yourself forget it
M:28.2  Thus is all the thinking of the world reversed entirely. Life is  now recognized as salvation, and pain and misery of any kind
M:28.3  contradict the Word of God. There is no opposition to the truth. And  now the truth can come at last. How quickly will it come as it is
M:28.4  a stir of deep anticipation, for the time of everlasting things is  now at hand. There is no death. The Son of God is free. And in his
M:28.4  God is free. And in his freedom is the end of fear. No hidden places  now remain on earth to shelter sick illusions, dreams of fear, and
M:28.5  Now there are no distinctions. Differences have disappeared, and Love
M:29.7  and all things are given you. Not in the future but immediately— now. God does not wait, for waiting implies time and He is timeless.
M:29.8 And  now in all your doings be you blessed. God turns to you for help to

W1:37.6 Then close your eyes and apply the idea to any person who  occurs to you, using his name and saying:

W1:134.19  times when you forget its meaning and attack yourself. When this  occurs, allow your mind to see through this illusion as you tell
W1:152.1  that he wants. And no one dies without his own consent. Nothing  occurs but represents your wish, and nothing is omitted that you

Tx:11.37  of your mind, and because of its source, the ego is not wholly split  off, or it could not be believed at all. For it is your mind that
Tx:13.50  and all this has been denied, your thought system is closed  off and wholly separated from the truth. This is an insane world, and
Tx:14.17  love cannot share its healing power, because it has been separated  off and kept in darkness. The sentinels of darkness watch over it
Tx:14.22  meaningless. But He will separate out all that has meaning, dropping  off the rest and offering your true communication to those who would
Tx:15.42 Every thought you would keep hidden shuts communication  off because you would have it so. It is impossible to recognize

Tx:20.67  your desire for something else. Open the holy place which you closed  off by valuing the “something else,” and what was never lost will
Tx:21.52  interfered with reason. Reason lies in the other Self you have cut  off from your awareness. And nothing you have allowed to stay in it

Tx:24.9  only partial welcome or would let you think that you are better  off apart. Is it not always your belief your specialness is limited
Tx:24.27  yourself; your enemy, not God's. So does it seem to split you  off from God and make you separate from Him as its defender. You
Tx:24.28  But specialness is not the truth in you. It can be thrown  off balance by anything. What rests on nothing never can be stable.
Tx:25.15  is the frame without its meaning. Its purpose is to set the picture  off and not itself.
Tx:25.25  it is perceived. For specialness it is the perfect frame to set it  off—the perfect battleground to wage its wars, the perfect shelter
Tx:25.35  remote and far away from you. And they go farther and farther  off because the sun in you has risen that they may be pushed away
Tx:25.70  understandable to sinners because they think that justice is split  off from love and stands for something else.
Tx:26.1  All seeming entities can come a little nearer or go a little farther  off but cannot join.
Tx:26.3 The little that the body fences  off becomes the self, preserved through sacrifice of all the rest.
Tx:26.26  that they are one, for nothing stands between to push the other  off. And in the space which sin left vacant do they join as one, in
Tx:26.31  Heaven's song, is difficult to do. But it is hard indeed to wander  off, alone and miserable, down a road which leads to nothing and
Tx:26.54  a little space to you, another little space to him. This separating  off is symbolized in your perception by a body which is clearly
Tx:27.3  writ in Heaven in your blood and death and go before him, closing  off the gate and damning him to hell. Yet this is writ in hell and
Tx:27.23  as the one more innocent than he. This splits his function  off from yours and gives you both a different role. And so you cannot
Tx:28.23  not be the maker of the dream. Effect and cause are first split  off and then reversed, so that effect becomes a cause; the cause,
Tx:28.47 What is a sense of sickness but a sense of limitation? Of a splitting  off and separating from? A gap perceived between [ourselves] and what
Tx:28.47  good is seen outside; the evil, in. And thus is sickness separating  off the self from good and keeping evil in. God is the alternate to
Tx:29.4  of space between two separate bodies. This but seems to be dividing  off your separate minds. It is the symbol of a promise made to meet
Tx:29.44  something more than everything, as if a part of it were separated  off and found where all the rest of it is not. This is the purpose he

Tx:4.4  as often as you choose. But this is not the Gospel I intended to  offer you. We have another journey to undertake, and if you will read

Tx:11.23  and carefully planned program aimed at learning how to  offer to the Holy Spirit everything you do not want. He knows what to
Tx:11.52  divided, and the means and the end are in complete accord. You need  offer only undivided attention. Everything else will be given you.

Tx:12.54  for it, and in their joy, they shine with holy thanks. And this they  offer you, who gave them joy. They are your guides to joy, for having
Tx:12.64  errors for the peace of God is but your will. And Christ will always  offer you the Will of God in recognition that you share it with Him.
Tx:12.67  nothing fearful, and because of this, they are the welcome that you  offer knowledge. Love waits on welcome, not on time, and the real
Tx:13.5  the miracle of creation; that it is one forever. Every miracle you  offer to the Son of God is but the true perception of one aspect of
Tx:13.6  all the same; all beautiful and equal in their holiness. And He will  offer them unto His Father as they were offered unto Him. There is
Tx:13.7  gift you can bestow, and your Father's gift you cannot lose.  Offer Christ's gift to everyone and everywhere, for miracles offered
Tx:13.16  truth of guiltlessness unto yourself. In every condemnation that you  offer the Son of God lies the conviction of your own guilt. If you
Tx:13.16  If you would have the Holy Spirit make you free of it, accept His  offer of Atonement for all your brothers. For so you learn that it is

Tx:13.33  you. I love all that He created, and all my faith and my belief I  offer unto it. My faith in you is strong as all the love I give my

Tx:13.65  of value, each representing an escape from what the other does not  offer you. You do not want either alone, for without both, you do not
Tx:13.69  happiness that comes from choosing to be free of guilt. Everyone you  offer healing to returns it. Everyone you attack keeps it and
Tx:13.69  will make no difference; you will think he does. It is impossible to  offer what you do not want without this penalty. The cost of giving
Tx:13.72  in place of all the happy teaching the Holy Spirit would gladly  offer him.
Tx:13.75  Would you be content with little, which is all that you alone can  offer yourself, when He Who gives you everything will simply offer it
Tx:13.75  can offer yourself, when He Who gives you everything will simply  offer it to you? He will never ask what you have done to make you
Tx:13.90  thus are darkness and deceit undone. Fail not yourself, but instead  offer to God and you His blameless Son. For this small gift of

Tx:14.33  to Father and to Son. Can you offer guilt to God? You cannot, then,  offer it to His Son. For they are not apart, and gifts to one are
Tx:14.45  without regard for what is brought to it. Those who have learned to  offer only healing because of the reflection of holiness in them are
Tx:14.57  Nor will the power of all His love be absent from any miracle you  offer to His Son. How, then, can there be any order of difficulty
Tx:14.66  His rightful place in your awareness the instant you abandon it and  offer it to Him.

Tx:15.13  of release is yours. Miracles are the instants of release you  offer and will receive. They attest to your willingness to be
Tx:15.13  will receive. They attest to your willingness to be released and to  offer time to the Holy Spirit for His use of it. How long is an

Tx:15.15  be remembered for you in that shining instant of perfect release.  Offer the miracle of the holy instant through the Holy Spirit and
Tx:15.16  will let go all your past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly  offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can take time, when all the
Tx:15.23  for you will have judged yourself unworthy of it. And whatever you  offer as a substitute is much too poor a gift to satisfy you. It is
Tx:15.27  minds, untouched by every little gift the world of littleness would  offer you. But for this, you cannot side against Him in what He wills
Tx:15.32  have learned to accept what you are, you will make no more gifts to  offer to yourselves, for you will know you are complete, in need of
Tx:15.47  it? To believe that special relationships, with special love, can  offer you salvation is the belief that separation is salvation. For
Tx:15.49  under His care and be sure that it will not result in pain if you  offer Him your willingness to have it serve no need but His. All the
Tx:15.54  needs them all equally, and so do you. In time you have been told to  offer miracles as Christ directs and let the Holy Spirit bring to you
Tx:15.57  in you. And so you seek without for what you cannot find without. I  offer you my perfect faith in you in place of all your doubt. But
Tx:15.69  truly. For it is certain that, if you will look at them, you will  offer them gladly to Him. What He can make of them, you do not know,
Tx:15.79  of Him what the truth must be. He is swift to utilize whatever you  offer Him on behalf of this. His concern and care for you are
Tx:15.89  you would see without the limits the ego would impose on them can  offer you the gift of freedom.
Tx:15.93  his unlimited power is thus restored to him. What other gift can you  offer me, when only this I will to offer you? And to see me is to see
Tx:15.93  to him. What other gift can you offer me, when only this I will to  offer you? And to see me is to see me in everyone and offer everyone
Tx:15.93  this I will to offer you? And to see me is to see me in everyone and  offer everyone the gift you offer me. I am as incapable of receiving
Tx:15.93  to see me is to see me in everyone and offer everyone the gift you  offer me. I am as incapable of receiving sacrifice as God is, and

Tx:16.6 The triumph of weakness is not what you would  offer to a brother. And yet you know no triumph but this. This is not
Tx:16.6  your role with His, for this will never bring peace to anyone.  Offer your empathy to Him, for it is His perception and His strength
Tx:16.6  is His perception and His strength that you would share. And let Him  offer you His strength and His perception to be shared through you.
Tx:16.25  Spirit, and their power and gratitude to you for their creation they  offer gladly to your teaching of yourself, who is their home. You who
Tx:16.37  without which you could never be complete. No specialness can  offer you what God has given and what you are joined with Him in
Tx:17.15  no one not obsessed with keeping separation could hear them. They  offer you the “reasons” why you should enter into unholy alliances
Tx:17.24  let go. And what is thus let go is all the truth the past could ever  offer to the present as witnesses for its reality, while what is kept
Tx:17.26  me. Let me enter in the Name of God and bring you peace that you may  offer peace to me.

Tx:18.42  the Holy Spirit's help. That is His function. Your part is only to  offer Him a little willingness to let Him remove all fear and hatred
Tx:18.46  of your relationship is threatened by anything, stop instantly and  offer the Holy Spirit your willingness in spite of fear to let Him
Tx:18.48  for us to share it now. And so I choose this instant as the one to  offer to the Holy Spirit, that His blessing may descend on us and
Tx:19.10  Atonement for yourself and would therefore share it. By faith you  offer the gift of freedom from the past, which you received. You do
Tx:19.12  and is the sign you share it with Him. Faith is a gift you  offer to the Son of God through Him, and wholly acceptable to his
Tx:19.13  altar where the grace was given, in which it stands. Do you, then,  offer grace and blessing to each other, for you stand at the same
Tx:19.32  as mightier than God, before which God Himself must bow and  offer His creation to its conqueror. Is this humility or madness?
Tx:19.38  you, but of this you can be sure: the Holy Spirit asks that you  offer Him a resting-place where you will rest in Him. He answered you
Tx:19.53  found, to share them lovingly with you. Be not afraid of them. They  offer you salvation. Theirs are the messages of safety, for they see
Tx:19.57 Yet would I  offer you my body, you whom I love, knowing its littleness? Or would
Tx:19.98  And let us join in faith that He Who brought us here together will  offer you the innocence you need and that you will accept it for my
Tx:19.103  crucified by sin, and waiting for release from pain. Would you not  offer him forgiveness, when only he can offer it to you? For his
Tx:19.103  from pain. Would you not offer him forgiveness, when only he can  offer it to you? For his redemption, he will give you yours as surely
Tx:19.104 There is no grace of Heaven that you cannot  offer to each other and receive from your most holy Friend. Let him
Tx:19.104  most holy Friend. Let him withhold it not, for by receiving it you  offer it to him. [For he will receive of you what you received of
Tx:19.105  Think who your brother is before you would condemn him. And  offer thanks to God that he is holy and has been given the gift of
Tx:19.106  the Holy Spirit for both of you. And be you free together, as you  offer to the Holy Spirit this same gift. And giving it, receive it of
Tx:19.107  look on you, and overlook the sins he thinks he sees within himself.  Offer each other freedom and complete release from sin here in the
Tx:19.108  Heaven is the gift you owe each other, the debt of gratitude you  offer to the Son of God in thanks for what he is and what his Father
Tx:20.2  And we honor the perfect purity of the Son of God and not his sins.  Offer each other the gift of lilies, not the crown of thorns; the
Tx:20.5  your brother to you and to attract his body's eyes? Learn you but  offer him a crown of thorns, not recognizing it for what it is and
Tx:20.6  bodies if they be truly given and received. For bodies can neither  offer nor accept; hold out nor take. Only the mind can value, and
Tx:20.7  is. Forget not that it is your savior to whom the gift is offered.  Offer him thorns and you are crucified. Offer him lilies and it is
Tx:20.7  to whom the gift is offered. Offer him thorns and you are crucified.  Offer him lilies and it is yourself you free.
Tx:20.8  need for lilies, for the Son of God has not forgiven me. And can I  offer him forgiveness when he offers thorns to me? For he who offers
Tx:20.8  the altar in your chosen home and see what you have laid upon it to  offer me. If it be thorns whose points gleam sharply in a blood-red
Tx:20.8  light, the body is your chosen home, and it is separation that you  offer me. And yet the thorns are gone. Look you still closer at them
Tx:20.15  each other's holy altar where the strength and freedom wait, to  offer and receive the bright awareness that leads you home. The lamp
Tx:20.42  harmony already. Here is the perfect faith that you will one day  offer to each other already offered you. And here the limitless
Tx:20.43  And yet, have faith that He Who sees the gift in both of you will  offer and receive it for you both. And through His vision will you
Tx:20.44  in him. What is he, that the Creator of the universe should  offer it to him and know it rests in safety? He looks upon himself
Tx:20.48  idols thrive. The rest it merely throws away, for all that it could  offer is seen as valueless. Homeless, the ego seeks as many bodies as
Tx:20.55  upon oblivion. Here does the Son of God stop briefly by to  offer his devotion to death's idols, and then pass on. And here he is
Tx:20.58  of you. It is impossible to imagine one that asks so little or could  offer more.
Tx:21.13  have your whole relationship transformed to joy; the little gift you  offer to the Holy Spirit for which He gives you everything; the very
Tx:21.17  to Him Who must decide for God for you. This is the little gift you  offer to the Holy Spirit, and even this He gave to you to give
Tx:21.31  What faith you give to sin you take away from holiness. And what you  offer holiness has been removed from sin.
Tx:22.42  given to everyone. For you are here to let it be received. God's  offer still is open, yet it waits acceptance. From you who have
Tx:22.44 How easy is it to  offer this miracle to everyone! No one who has received it for
Tx:22.59  which can be extended. Save no dark secrets that He cannot use, but  offer Him the tiny gifts He can extend forever. He will take each one
Tx:22.59  gift of love a source of healing for everyone. Each little gift you  offer to the other lights up the world. Be not concerned with
Tx:23.46  to murder and to die. Think you the form that murder takes can  offer safety? Can guilt be absent from a battlefield? [Do not remain
Tx:23.48  hold the universe? Can it create and be what it creates? And can it  offer its creations all that it is and never suffer loss?
Tx:23.54  suffer change of any kind. Perhaps you think the battleground can  offer something that you can win. Can it be anything that offers you
Tx:23.55  for on the battleground is of the body—something it seems to  offer or to own. No one who knows that he has everything could seek
Tx:24.25 The key you threw away God gave your brother, whose holy hands would  offer it to you when you were ready to accept His plan for your
Tx:24.45  thing that He beholds and loves. And seeks it still, that each might  offer you the love of God.
Tx:24.47  this: the holy Lord of Heaven has Himself come down to you to  offer you your own completion. What is His is yours because in your
Tx:24.57  and without accomplishment of any kind, is all the other choice can  offer you. Futility of function not fulfilled will haunt you while
Tx:24.71  purpose. Not identical, not even like, but still a means to  offer to the “father” what he wants. Such is the travesty on God's
Tx:25.20  not be glad if you appreciate His masterpiece? What could He do but  offer thanks to you who love His Son as He does? Would He not make
Tx:25.23  other law than this. The rest but stems from this, to hold it up and  offer it support. This is perception's form adapted to this world of
Tx:25.29  from the belief there are two ways to see. This world has much to  offer to your peace and many chances to extend your own forgiveness.

W1:137.12 Would you not  offer shelter to God's Will? You but invite your Self to be at home,
W1:137.13  to receive a gift like this? Is not a little time a small expense to  offer for the gift of everything?

W1:138.5  through learning how to reach them, what they are, and what they  offer you. Decisions are the outcome of your learning, for they rest
W1:140.14  and with peace so deep that no illusion can disturb our minds nor  offer proof to us that it is real. This will we learn today. And we
W1:R4.6  understand the lessons that we read and see the meaning which they  offer us.

W1:151.3  can you judge? Your judgment rests upon the witness that your senses  offer you. Yet witness never falser was than this. But how else do
W1:153.11  has been accomplished. For you will not see the light until you  offer it to all your brothers. As they take it from your hands, so
W1:153.16  At times, perhaps, a minute, even less, will be the most that we can  offer as the hour strikes. Sometimes we will forget. At other times
W1:154.9  for that is part of your appointed role. He has not failed to  offer what you need, nor has it been left unaccepted. Yet another
W1:155.12  of your full intent? What way could give you more than everything or  offer less and still content the holy Son of God? We walk to God. The
W1:156.4  because of you. All things that live bring gifts to you and  offer them in gratitude and gladness at your feet. The scent of
W1:157.6  like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in our eyes which we can  offer everyone that he may come the sooner to the same experience in
W1:158.10  provides another chance to let Christ's vision shine on you and  offer you the peace of God.
W1:160.9 Today we  offer thanks that Christ has come to search the world for what
W1:161.1  and take a stand against our anger, that our fears may disappear and  offer room to love. Here is salvation in the simple words in which we
W1:164.8  as we behold it in the light in which our Savior looks on us and  offer it the freedom given us through His forgiving vision, now our
W1:164.8  a clean and open space within your mind where Christ can come and  offer you the treasure of salvation. He has need of your most holy
W1:166.12  The gifts you have are not for you alone. What He has come to  offer you, you now must learn to give. This is the lesson that His
W1:166.15 Betray it not. Become the living proof of what Christ's touch can  offer everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to you. Be witness in
W1:169.7  but this is now at hand. We do not hasten it, in that what you will  offer was concealed from Him Who teaches what forgiveness means. All
W1:R5.3  walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we accept the Word You  offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You
W1:183.10  same release you found. You can remember what the world forgot and  offer it your own remembering. You can accept today the part you play
W1:185.5  Now he seeks to go beyond them, recognizing that another dream would  offer nothing more than all the others. Dreams are one to him. And he
W1:185.7  in the place of shifting dreams which seem to change in what they  offer, but are one in nothingness.
W1:186.4  have us do. We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He will  offer us. We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our
W1:187.9  your brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you  offer him beside them. Who could fear to look upon such lovely
W1:187.11  anything we look upon. And to ensure this holy sight is ours, we  offer it to everything we see. For where we see it, it will be
W1:188.4  the light in you shine brighter, adding to the gifts you have to  offer to the world.
W1:195.2 It is insane to  offer thanks because of suffering. But it is equally insane to fail
W1:195.4 You do not  offer God your gratitude because your brother is more slave than you,
W1:195.4  And gratitude can only be sincere if it is joined to love. We  offer thanks to God our Father that in us all things will find their
W1:195.6  completion. We give thanks for every living thing, for otherwise we  offer thanks for nothing and we fail to recognize the gifts of God to
W1:195.7  their tired heads against our shoulders as they rest a while. We  offer thanks for them. For if we can direct them to the peace that we
W1:197.3 The world must thank you when you  offer it release from your illusions. Yet your thanks belong to you
W1:197.9  God has given you. But never think that He has ever ceased to  offer thanks to you.
W1:R6.11 To Him I  offer this review for you. I place you in His charge and let Him
W1:R6.11  to be available to you each time you call to Him to help you. Let us  offer Him the whole review we now begin, and let us also not forget
W1:212.1  vain illusions of the world. Only the function God has given me can  offer freedom. Only this I seek, and only this will I accept as mine.
W2:I.4  earned Him the invitation that He seeks to make us happy? We will  offer it, and it will be accepted. So our times with Him will now be
W2:236.2  and closed today to every thought but Yours. I rule my mind and  offer it to You. Accept my gift, for it is Yours to me.
W2:253.2  is but Your will in perfect union with my own, which can but  offer glad assent to Yours that It may be extended to itself.
W2:258.1  in our minds, obscured but by our pointless little goals which  offer nothing and do not exist. Shall we continue to allow God's
W2:270.2  to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His sight, we  offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son whom God created
W2:WIHS.3  by which you would attain what is forever unattainable. And if you  offer them to Him, He will employ the means you made for exile to
W2:283.2  as our only Source and everything created part of us. And so we  offer blessing to all things, uniting lovingly with all the world,

W2:304.2  salvation for the world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me to  offer to Your holy Son that he may find again the memory of You and
W2:306.1 What but Christ's vision would I use today when it can  offer me a day in which I see a world so like to Heaven that an
W2:312.1  therefore see what you would look upon. For vision merely serves to  offer you what you would have. It is impossible to overlook what you
W2:315.2  God. My brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me. Now may I  offer them my thankfulness that gratitude to them may lead me on to
W2:318.2 Let me today, my Father, take the role You  offer me in Your request that I accept Atonement for myself. For thus
W2:325.1  a gentle world comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to  offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while before he journeys
W2:330.1  and thus escape forever from all things the dream of fear appears to  offer us.
W2:332.2  the means to set it free. Father, we would release it now. For as we  offer freedom, it is given us. And we would not remain as prisoners
W2:339.2  but hear Your Voice in everything I do; requesting only what You  offer me, accepting only thoughts You share with me.
W2:344.1  or is or will be. Who can share a dream? And what can an illusion  offer me? Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth
W2:345.2 Peace to all seeking hearts today. The light has come to  offer miracles to bless the tired world. It will find rest today, for
W2:345.2  to bless the tired world. It will find rest today, for we will  offer what we have received.
W2:357.1 Forgiveness, truth's reflection, tells me how to  offer miracles and thus escape the prison house in which I think I
W2:358.1  Voice, my Father, then is mine as well, and all I want is what You  offer me, in just the form You chose that it be mine. Let me remember
W2:FL.4  Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive our brother who can  offer this to us? He is the way, the truth, and life that show the
M:5.9  to turn away from death. Behold, you Son of God, what life can  offer you. Would you choose sickness in place of this?
M:11.4  to those who look on war. Peace is inevitable to those who  offer peace. How easily, then, is your judgment of the world escaped!

M:21.5  he would leave behind. Judge not the words that come to you, but  offer them in confidence. They are far wiser than your own. God's

M:22.6 The  offer of Atonement is universal. It is equally applicable to all

Tx:14.37  your altars, for nothing can coexist beside it. Here your meager  offerings are brought together with the gift of God, and only what is
Tx:15.30  lives in you, your poor appreciation of yourself and all the little  offerings you have given slip into nothingness. Holy Child of God,
Tx:20.5  all the useless things made for its eyes to see. Think on the many  offerings made for its pleasure and remember all these were made to

Tx:7.61 If you will keep in mind what the Holy Spirit  offers you, you cannot be vigilant for anything but God and His
Tx:8.2  His Will, how can you have knowledge? I have told you what knowledge  offers you, but it is clear that you do not regard this as wholly

Tx:12.23  goes, it offers you oblivion. When it becomes overtly savage, it  offers you hell.

Tx:14.51 The miracle  offers exactly the same response to every call for help. It does not

Tx:15.3  for you to find peace even in the death it wants for you, it  offers you immortality in hell. It speaks to you of Heaven but

Tx:19.13 Your holy relationship, with its new purpose,  offers you faith to give unto each other. Your faithlessness had
Tx:19.59  to the first, is the belief that the body is valuable for what it  offers. For here is the attraction of guilt made manifest in the body
Tx:19.66  and all the world will answer. Think of your happiness as everyone  offers you witness of the end of sin and shows you that its power is

Tx:20.53  in a false attraction, your preference to the holy instant which  offers you peace and understanding? Then lay aside the body and
Tx:20.54  and love shines on it with the gentle smile and tender blessing it  offers to its own. Here the unholy instant is exchanged in gladness
Tx:20.65  sign that you lack vision and have denied the means the Holy Spirit  offers you to serve His purpose. How can a holy relationship achieve
Tx:20.68  be free of misery and learn again of joy? Your holy relationship  offers all this to you. As it was given you, so will be its effects.

Tx:22.17 Truth is the opposite of illusions because it  offers joy. What else but joy could be the opposite of misery? To
Tx:22.45  Reality opposes nothing. What merely is needs no defense and  offers none. Only illusions need defense because of weakness. And how
Tx:22.46  needs great defense and at enormous cost. All that the Holy Spirit  offers must be defended against and sacrificed. For sin is carved

Tx:23.55  What can conflict with everything? And what is there that  offers less, yet could be wanted more? Who with the love of God
Tx:24.3  To withhold the smallest gift is not to know love's purpose. Love  offers everything forever. Hold back but one belief, one offering,
Tx:24.23  its purpose must be given to kill. No gift that bears its seal but  offers treachery to giver and receiver. Not one glance from eyes it
Tx:24.34  hated and worthy only of destruction. Whatever gentleness it  offers is but deception, but its hate is real. In danger of
Tx:24.41  form; however lovely it may seem to be; however much it delicately  offers the hope of peace and the escape from pain—in which you
Tx:24.46  upon with Him and share His joy. His perfect lack of specialness He  offers you that you may save all living things from death, receiving
Tx:24.46  receiving from each one the gift of life that your forgiveness  offers to your Self. The sight of Christ is all there is to see. The
Tx:25.16  created He supports and frames within Himself. His masterpiece He  offers you to see. And would you rather see the frame instead of
Tx:25.21  to understand His gift to you. And give the Holy Spirit what He  offers unto the Father and the Son alike. Nothing has power over you
Tx:25.40  other and save himself along with him. Forgiven by you, your savior  offers you salvation. Condemned by you, he offers death to you. In
Tx:25.40  by you, your savior offers you salvation. Condemned by you, he  offers death to you. In everyone you see but the reflection of what
Tx:25.43  kindness of his sight rests on himself with all the tenderness it  offers others. For he would only heal and only bless. And being in
Tx:25.71  You are not asked to trust Him far. No further than what you see He  offers you and what you recognize you could not give yourself.

Tx:26.6  sings to you. And let the world recede and take the rest his witness  offers on behalf of peace. But judge him not, for you will hear no
Tx:26.11 The Holy Spirit  offers you release from every problem that you think you have. They

Tx:26.25  done nothing to forgive. Forgiveness always rests upon the one who  offers it until he sees himself as needing it no more. And thus is he
Tx:26.25  he returned to his real function of creating, which his forgiveness  offers him again.
Tx:26.63  death instead of what his Father wills for him. Yet every instant  offers life to him because his Father wills that he should live.
Tx:26.69  From this perception you cannot conceive of gaining what forgiveness  offers now. The interval you think lies in between the giving and
Tx:26.83  where you walk forgiveness gladly goes with you. No one on earth but  offers thanks to one who has restored his home and sheltered him from
Tx:27.3  him you show yourself and give it all your faith. The Holy Spirit  offers you to give to him a picture of yourself in which there is no
Tx:27.42  hear an answer which is not entailed within the question asked. It  offers something new and different from the question. How could it be
Tx:27.76  Brother, He gives but life. Yet what you see as gifts your brother  offers represent the gifts you dream your Father gives to you. Let
Tx:28.5  within itself. And if it seems to serve to cherish ancient hate and  offers you the pictures of injustices and hurts which you were
Tx:28.12 He to Whom time is given  offers thanks for every quiet instant given Him. For in that instant
Tx:28.44  separate piece that thinks it is a picture in itself. To each he  offers his identity, which the whole picture represents, instead of
Tx:29.38  grief and loss. This is the “sacrifice” salvation asks and gladly  offers peace instead of this.

W1:37.1  your holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because it  offers everyone his full due. And he is entitled to everything

Tx:19.47  remnant of the belief in sin, is all that remains of what  once seemed to be the world. It is no longer an unrelenting barrier
Tx:19.99  This is the place to which everyone must come when he is ready.  Once he has found his brother, he is ready. Yet merely to reach the
Tx:20.16  is lost if any shift or change is undertaken. For this reduces it at  once to mere perception—a way of looking in which certainty is lost
Tx:20.35  that God would have a plan for your salvation that does not work.  Once you accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill,
Tx:20.74  and they are gone. And all you need to do is recognize you did this.  Once you accept this simple fact and take unto yourself the power you
Tx:21.35 Faith and belief become attached to vision, as all the means that  once served sin are redirected now toward holiness. For what you
Tx:21.45  And it desired nothing but to join with him and to be free again, as  once it was. It has been waiting for the birth of freedom, the
Tx:21.56  enters not at all in this. For the perception would fall away at  once if reason were applied. There is no reason in insanity, for it
Tx:21.57  Here was the Holy Spirit's purpose accepted and accomplished both at  once. Reason is alien to insanity, and those who use it have gained a
Tx:21.73  an enemy, but this will shift even as it attacks, so that it runs at  once to find another and never comes to rest in victory. And as it
Tx:21.88  you receive and happiness is constant, then you need ask for it but  once to have it always. And if you do not have it always, being what
Tx:22.41  you will bring to light the tired eyes of those as weary now as  once you were. How thankful will they be to see you come among them,
Tx:23.6  kind forgiveness will the world sparkle and shine and everything you  once thought sinful now will be reinterpreted as part of Heaven. How
Tx:24.6  with it. And thus does specialness become a means and end at  once. For specialness not only sets apart but serves as grounds from
Tx:25.32  of change unless the aim is changed. And then the means are chosen  once again, as what will bring rejoicing is defined another way and
Tx:25.42  your attack believe He hates you, thinking Heaven must be hell. Look  once again upon your brother, not without the understanding that he
Tx:26.15  one whom you wish to be preserved from sacrifice entirely. Consider  once again your special function. One is given you to see in him his
Tx:26.16  they disappear, to be forever undone and unremembered. What seemed  once to be a special problem, a mistake without a remedy, or an
Tx:26.24  where the separation is undone by change of purpose in what  once was specialness and now is union? All illusions are but one. And
Tx:26.27  to the Source of its creation? The holiest of altars is set where  once sin was believed to be. And here does every light of heaven come
Tx:26.29 Where sin  once was perceived will rise a world which will become an altar to
Tx:26.40  of the past remains, but still a present light is dimly recognized.  Once it is seen, this light can never be forgotten. It must draw you
Tx:26.47  all that must occur for healing to be possible. For when it  once is possible, it must occur. All sickness comes from separation.
Tx:27.68  Once you were unaware of what the cause of everything the world

Tx:27.81  could never have conceived this world as real. He would have seen at  once that these ideas are one illusion, too ridiculous for anything
Tx:27.84  that others do to you exactly what you think you did to them. But  once deluded into blaming them, you will not see the cause of what
Tx:29.41  when it has no use. Its purpose ended; it is gone. And where it  once held seeming sway is now restored the function God established
Tx:29.67  he is not, for childish things have all been put away. And what was  once a dream of judgment now has changed into a dream where all is
Tx:29.68  though he has not heard it since before all time began. Forgiveness,  once complete, brings timelessness so close the song of Heaven can be
Tx:30.11 3. Remember  once again the day you want and recognize that something has occurred
Tx:30.14  you of what you really want. This can be very hard to realize when  once you have decided by yourself the rules which promise you a happy
Tx:30.28  for practicing the rules for its undoing. Let us, then, consider  once again the very first of the decisions which are offered here.
Tx:30.35 Look  once again upon your enemy, the one you chose to hate instead of
Tx:31.34  before the bleakness enters. And on some the thorns are felt at  once. The choice is not what will the ending be but when it comes.
Tx:31.84 Choose  once again if you would take your place among the saviors of the
Tx:31.87 Trials are but lessons which you failed to learn presented  once again, so where you made a faulty choice before, you now can
Tx:31.92  of weakness, opening the way to his salvation and release. Choose  once again what you would have him be, remembering that every choice
Tx:31.94  so many chances to perceive another situation where God's gift can  once again be recognized as ours! And thus will all the vestiges of
W1:10.1  comparison as yet. When you do, you will have no doubt that what you  once believed were your thoughts did not mean anything.
W1:11.3  On concluding the exercises, close your eyes and repeat the idea  once more, slowly, to yourself.
W1:26.15 Conclude each practice period by repeating today's idea  once more.
W1:27.7  by this, but do try to keep on your schedule from then on. If only  once during the day you feel that you were perfectly sincere while

W1:29.7  about you as you say the words unhurriedly to yourself. At least  once or twice you should experience a sense of restfulness as you do
W1:39.2  But do you believe that guilt is hell? If you did, you would see at  once how direct and simple the text is, and you would not need a

W1:42.7  If such interferences occur, open your eyes and repeat the thought  once more while looking slowly about; close your eyes, repeat the

W1:65.12 In the shorter practice periods, which should be undertaken at least  once an hour, use this form in applying today's idea:
W1:73.4 Today we will try  once more to reach the world that is in accordance with your will.
W1:76.2  seek where it is not and never find it. The idea for today tells you  once again how simple is salvation. Look for it where it waits for
W1:98.13 And when the hour is gone and He is there  once more to spend a little time with you, be thankful and lay down
W1:98.13  and limited ideas, and spend a happy time again with Him. Tell Him  once more that you accept the part which He would have you take and
W1:102.1  makes no sense. It has not gone as yet but lacks the roots that  once secured it tightly to the dark and hidden secret places of your

W1:129.7  to make this change ten minutes in the morning and at night and  once more in between. Begin with this:
W1:130.2 Yet who can really hate and love at  once? Who can desire what he does not want to have reality? And who

W1:139.8  a mission here. We did not come to reinforce the madness which we  once believed in. Let us not forget the goal that we accepted. It is
W1:152.7  to triumph over life—all this is arrogance. Humility would see at  once these things are not of Him. And can you see what God created
W1:158.4  point at which it ended, looking back on it, imagining we make it  once again; reviewing mentally what has gone by.
W1:161.11  If you are intent on reaching it, you will succeed today. And  once you have succeeded, you will not be willing to accept the

Tx:27.29  it into something it is not. To weaken is to limit and impose an  opposite that contradicts the concept which it attacks. And by this
Tx:27.32  where He is, there must the truth abide. Unweakened power with no  opposite is what creation is. For this there are no symbols. Nothing

Tx:5.43 The Holy Spirit must work through  opposites, because He must work with and for a mind that is in

Tx:13.68  and illusion. And there is no overlap between them because they are  opposites which cannot be reconciled and cannot both be true. You are
Tx:14.24  Light or darkness, knowledge or ignorance are yours, but not both.  Opposites must be brought together and not kept apart. For their

Tx:21.39  He would deprive you for your good. But “good” and “deprivation” are  opposites and cannot meaningfully join in any way. It is like saying

Tx:27.51  this possible, for learning does not jump from situations to their  opposites and bring the same results. All healing must proceed in
W1:91.10  mistaken thoughts about your attributes to be corrected, and their  opposites to take their place. Say, for example:

W1:138.3 Choice is the obvious escape from what appears as  opposites. Decision lets one of conflicting goals become the aim of
W1:138.7  life itself must in the end be overcome by death. In death alone are  opposites resolved, for ending opposition is to die. And thus
W1:152.7 To think that God made chaos, contradicts His Will, invented  opposites to truth, and suffers death to triumph over life—all this
W1:167.8  death is not the opposite to thoughts of life. Forever unopposed by  opposites of any kind, the thoughts of God remain forever changeless
W1:167.10  will not ask for death in any form today. Nor will we let imagined  opposites to life abide even an instant where the thought of life
M:20.5  lies. Life has no opposite, for it is God. Life and death seem to be  opposites, because you have decided that death ends life. Forgive the
M:27.2  His world is now a battleground where contradiction reigns and  opposites make endless war. Where there is death is peace impossible.

Tx:3.78  is the “devil.” It is powerful, active, destructive, and clearly in  opposition to God because it literally denies His Fatherhood. Never
Tx:4.8  it. The ego is a contradiction. Man's self and God's Self are in  opposition. They are opposed in creation, in will, and in outcome.
Tx:5.22  both to remember and to forget. You have chosen to be in a state of  opposition in which opposites are possible. As a result, there are

Tx:9.95  obviously demands the denial of health, because health is in direct  opposition to its own survival. But consider what this means to you.
Tx:11.25  in it. If you insist on refusing and experience a quick response of  opposition, you are believing that your salvation lies in not doing
Tx:11.27  “outrageous,” do it because it does not matter. Refuse and your  opposition establishes that it does matter to you. It is only you,
Tx:11.65  For this belief is the destruction of peace, a goal in direct  opposition to the Holy Spirit's purpose. You see what you expect, and
Tx:11.69  invitations. You have looked upon your minds and accepted  opposition there, having sought it there. But do not then believe
Tx:11.69  sought it there. But do not then believe that the witnesses for  opposition are true, for they attest only to your decision about
Tx:13.20  believed to be less fearful. You are therefore willing with little  opposition to look upon all sorts of “sources” underneath awareness,
Tx:17.75  you need for peace. But rise you not against it, for against your  opposition it cannot come.
Tx:19.18  Thus is creation seen as not eternal, and the Will of God open to  opposition and defeat. Sin is the “grand illusion” underlying all the
Tx:19.33  creation would have a different will, opposed to His and in eternal  opposition to Him and to each other. Your holy relationship has as
Tx:19.42  would place upon the whole. God's Will is One, not many. It has no  opposition, for there is none beside it. What you would still contain

Tx:19.80  to life and innocence and to the Will of God Himself. Where can such  opposition lie but in the sick minds of the insane, dedicated to

Tx:22.30  can be corrected, and thus it must have been an error. The ego's  opposition to correction leads to its fixed belief in sin and
Tx:22.45  that they contradict reality. They go against what must be true. The  opposition comes from them and not reality. Reality opposes nothing.
Tx:23.23  Now are they different and enemies. And their relationship is one of  opposition, just as the separate aspects of the Son meet only to

W1:103.2  would limit happiness by redefining love as limited and introducing  opposition in what has no limit and no opposite. Fear is associated

Tx:9.31  How, then, can you perceive Him at all? If you inspire joy, and  others react to you with joy even though you are not experiencing joy
Tx:9.31  you and can produce joy, and if you see that it does produce joy in  others, you must be dissociating it in yourself.
Tx:9.32  in you only because you do not consistently arouse joy in  others. Their reactions to you are your evaluations of His
Tx:9.35  how to awaken. Very simply the Holy Spirit teaches you to awaken  others. As you see them waken, you will learn what waking means, and
Tx:9.54  triumph, but you are exalted. And in your exalted state, you seek  others like you and rejoice with them.
Tx:9.94  God will inevitably result in projection, and you will believe that  others, and not yourself, have done this to you. You will receive the

Tx:11.45  by recognizing that your attack on yourself had no effects. For  others do react to attack if they perceive it, and if you are trying
Tx:12.35  that you must attack yourself first, for what you attack is not in  others. Its only reality is in your own mind, and by attacking
Tx:12.35  in others. Its only reality is in your own mind, and by attacking  others, you are literally attacking what is not there.

Tx:14.49  who think they live apart. For some are reflections of Heaven, while  others are motivated by the ego, which but seems to think. The result
Tx:15.47  decide that special aspects of the Sonship can give you more than  others? The past has taught you this. Yet the holy instant teaches
Tx:15.68  to you. For it is the ego's fundamental doctrine that what you do to  others, you have escaped. The ego wishes no one well. Yet its
Tx:15.105  perceive yourself as a victim of sacrifice, justified in sacrificing  others. For who could thrust Heaven and its Creator aside without a
Tx:16.33  living and use them for any purpose which they would not share with  others, are trying to live with guilt rather than die of it. This is
Tx:16.61  for limiting your self to a body and for limiting your perception of  others to theirs. The Great Rays would establish the total lack of
Tx:17.32  more willing to let go. While this one remains, you will not let the  others go. For this one is not different. Retain this one, and you
Tx:17.72  you are faithless to your own relationship. Your faith will call the  others to share your purpose, as this same purpose called forth the
Tx:18.57  is outside you, and but seems to surround you, shutting you off from  others and keeping you apart from them [and them from you]. It is not
Tx:18.68  use of the course if you insist on using means which have served  others well, neglecting what was made for you. Save time for me by
Tx:19.21  at its disposal. For here lies its “best” defense which all the  others serve. Here is its armor, its protection, and the fundamental
Tx:19.37  will encounter many obstacles. Some of them you will try to impose.  Others will seem to arise from elsewhere—from your brothers and
Tx:19.37  The extension of the Holy Spirit's purpose from your relationship to  others to bring them gently in [has already begun. This is the way in
Tx:19.40  it. You are the center from which it radiates outward to call the  others in. You are its home, its tranquil dwelling-place from which
Tx:19.53  They are as eager to return to you what they hold dear as are the  others. If you send them forth, they will see only the blameless and
Tx:20.27  no fear in perfect love because it knows no sin and it must look on  others as on itself. Looking with charity within, what can it fear
Tx:20.58  The seeming inconsistencies or parts you find more difficult than  others are merely indications of areas where means and end are still
Tx:21.55  is not reinterpreted and redirected from the goal of sin as are the  others. For reason is beyond the ego's range of means.
Tx:21.76  not yet the last. For this one still seems fearful and unlike the  others. Yet reason would assure you they are all the same. We said
Tx:21.81  you why. It is the same as are the other three except in time. The  others are decisions which can be made and then unmade and made
Tx:21.83 Why do you think you are unsure the  others have been answered? Could it be necessary they be asked so
Tx:21.89  decided how you would answer the final question. Your answer to the  others has made it possible to help you be but partially insane. And
Tx:22.56  you will remember. Who can deny himself the vision that he brings to  others? And who would fail to recognize a gift he let be laid in
Tx:23.20  separate and has a different set of thoughts which sets him off from  others. This principle evolves from the belief there is a hierarchy
Tx:23.21  making it appear that some of them are harder to overcome than  others. If it were realized that they are all the same and equally
Tx:23.27  what it takes. This leads to the fourth law of chaos, which, if the  others are accepted, must be true. This seeming law is the belief you
Tx:23.38  conflict, making it seem quite possible to value some above the  others. Yet each one rests as surely on the belief the laws of chaos
Tx:23.38  on the belief the laws of chaos are the laws of order as do the  others. Each one upholds these laws completely, offering a certain
Tx:25.43  of his sight rests on himself with all the tenderness it offers  others. For he would only heal and only bless. And being in accord
Tx:25.83  can there be in miracles, unless someone deserves to suffer more and  others less? And is this justice to the wholly innocent? A miracle is
Tx:25.83  is justice. It is not a special gift to some to be withheld from  others as less worthy, more condemned, and thus apart from healing.
Tx:25.84  given specially to an elect and special group and kept apart from  others as less deserving, then is He ally to specialness. What He
Tx:26.10  for you. He has not greater difficulty in resolving some than  others. Every problem is the same to Him, because each one is solved
Tx:26.14  it safe to give but some mistakes to be corrected while you keep the  others to yourself, remember this: justice is total. There is no such
Tx:26.51  illusion has any truth in it. Yet it appears some are more true than  others, although this clearly makes no sense at all. All that a
Tx:27.39  sin do you prefer? That is the one which you should choose. The  others are not true. What can the body get that you would want the
Tx:27.84 The world but demonstrates an ancient truth—you will believe that  others do to you exactly what you think you did to them. But once
Tx:29.25  the dream, but only on awaking. Could it be some dreams are kept and  others wakened from? The choice is not between which dreams to keep,
Tx:30.75  of a fixed belief that some appearances are harder to look past than  others are. It always means you think forgiveness must be limited.
Tx:31.54  and someone must have first decided on the one to choose and let the  others go.
W1:I.5 Some of the ideas you will find hard to believe, and  others will seem quite startling. It does not matter. You are merely
W1:5.5  and to avoid giving greater weight to some subjects than to  others. It might help to precede the exercises with the statement:
W1:5.8  to apply today's idea to some perceived sources of upset than to  others. If this occurs, think first of this:
W1:5.9 I cannot keep this form of upset and let the  others go. For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will regard
W1:6.4  you resist applying the idea to some upsetting thoughts more than to  others, remind yourself of the two cautions stated in the previous
W1:6.7 I cannot keep this form of upset and let the  others go. For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will regard
W1:14.7  part of the world you see. Some of them are shared illusions, and  others are part of your personal hell. It does not matter. What God
W1:21.3  will probably be tempted to dwell more on some situations than on  others on the fallacious grounds that they are more “obvious.” This

W1:54.4  As my thoughts of separation call to the separation thoughts of  others, so my real thoughts awaken the real thoughts in them. And the

W1:79.5  unexpectedly, just as you think you have resolved the previous ones.  Others remain unsolved under a cloud of denial and rise to haunt you
W1:92.7  cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in love. It sees all  others different from itself and nothing in the world that it would
W1:108.12  too, to think of one to whom to give your gifts. He represents the  others, and through him you give to all.
W1:127.2  bestowed on one and yet remain itself although it is withheld from  others. To believe these things of love is not to understand it. If
W1:132.8  Some see it suddenly on point of death and rise to teach it.  Others find it in experience that is not of this world, which shows
W1:133.9 Your next consideration is the one on which the  others rest. Why is the choice you make of value to you? What
W1:137.1  dwell on sickness and on separate states. Sickness is a retreat from  others and a shutting off of joining. It becomes a door that closes
W1:137.2  it seems to keep one self apart from all the rest to suffer what the  others do not feel. It gives the body final power to make the
W1:138.6  rest, this one remains unsolved. But when you solve this one, the  others are resolved with it, for all decisions but conceal this one
W1:140.9  and no beliefs that what does not exist is truer in some forms than  others. All of them are false and can be cured because they are not
W1:155.4  from a sense of loss and have not been released accordingly.  Others have chosen nothing but the world, and they have suffered from
W1:155.5  behind. This is the way appointed for you now. You walk this path as  others walk, nor do you seem to be distinct from them although you
W1:156.2  true. It cannot contradict itself nor be in parts uncertain and in  others sure. You cannot walk the world apart from God because you
W1:181.2  This faith receives its only sure support from what you see in  others past their sins. For their mistakes, if focused on, are
W1:182.2  they play to occupy their time and keep their sadness from them.  Others will deny that they are sad and do not recognize their tears
W1:182.2  that they are sad and do not recognize their tears at all. Still  others will maintain that what we speak of is illusion, not to be
W1:185.5  recognizing that another dream would offer nothing more than all the  others. Dreams are one to him. And he has learned their only
W1:185.8  not some dreams be more acceptable, reserving shame and secrecy for  others. They are one.
W1:195.1  The most that they can do is see themselves as better off than  others. And they try to be content because another seems to suffer
W1:195.1  deprecating are such thoughts! For who has cause for thanks while  others have less cause, and who could suffer less because he sees
W1:195.4  will find their freedom. It will never be that some are loosed while  others still are bound, for who can bargain in the name of love?
W1:196.5 The dreary, hopeless thought that you can make attacks on  others and escape yourself has nailed you to the cross. Perhaps it
W1:198.3  all other dreams away, and though it is itself a dream, it breeds no  others. All illusions save this one must multiply a thousand fold.
M:I.2  one or the other is true all the time. From your demonstration,  others learn and so do you. The question is not whether you will
M:I.2  done by words alone. Any situation must be to you a chance to teach  others what you are and what they are to you. No more than that, but
M:I.3  by what you think you are and what you believe the relationship of  others is to you. In the formal teaching situation, these questions
M:4.11  of God's teachers rest on trust. Once that has been achieved, the  others cannot fail to follow. Only the trusting can afford honesty,
M:4.21  some aspects of his life to bring to his learning while keeping  others apart? If so, his advancement is limited and his trust not yet
M:8.2  interests of its own and able to gratify its needs at the expense of  others.
M:8.6  acknowledge them. There will be those who seem to be “sicker” than  others, and the body's eyes will report their changed appearances as
M:22.4  sickness, both in the individual's perception of himself and of all  others as well. Nor is it at this level that the teacher of God calls
M:23.2  the world. Indeed, he has already done so. Temptation may recur to  others, but never to this one. He has become the risen Son of God. He
M:24.5  God should not believe in reincarnation himself or discuss it with  others who do? The answer is certainly not! If he does believe in
M:26.1  the necessary understanding as yet, but they have joined with  others. This is what sets them apart from the world. And it is this
M:26.1  is what sets them apart from the world. And it is this that enables  others to leave the world with them. Alone they are nothing. But in
M:29.1  cases, it may be helpful for the pupil to read the manual first.  Others might do better to begin with the workbook. Still others may
M:29.1  first. Others might do better to begin with the workbook. Still  others may need to start at the more abstract level of the text.

Tx:8.50  are the Sons of God Himself and therefore as holy as He is. Through  our creations, we extend our love and thus increase the joy of the
Tx:8.50  and therefore as holy as He is. Through our creations, we extend  our love and thus increase the joy of the Holy Trinity. You do not
Tx:8.87  are enjoined to do the works of love, because we share this oneness.  Our minds are whole because they are one. If you are sick you are
Tx:10.4  shrinking, you will also have looked upon ours. I come to you from  our Father to offer you everything again. Do not refuse it in order
Tx:10.39  merely looking honestly for truth. The “dynamics” of the ego will be  our lesson for a while, for we must look first at this to look beyond
Tx:11.20  myself, for I awoke for you. In my resurrection is your release.  Our mission is to escape crucifixion, not redemption. Trust in my
Tx:11.20  in my help, for I did not walk alone, and I will walk with you as  our Father walked with me. Did you not know that I walked with Him in
Tx:11.42 The Atonement was not the price of  our wholeness, but it was the price of your awareness of your
Tx:12.75  like a veil of light across the world's sad face, in which we hide  our brothers from the world, and it from them.
Tx:13.32  within you. Let us look upon him together and love him. For in  our love of him is your guiltlessness. But look upon yourself, and
Tx:13.34  we stand before the gates of Heaven where we will surely enter in  our blamelessness. God loves you. Could I, then, lack faith in you
Tx:14.13 Blessed are you who teach with me.  Our power comes not of us but of our Father. In guiltlessness we know
Tx:14.13 Blessed are you who teach with me. Our power comes not of us but of  our Father. In guiltlessness we know Him, as He knows us guiltless. I
Tx:15.29  this world, join with me, who decided for holiness for you. It is  our task together to restore the awareness of magnitude to the host
Tx:15.57  or it would be a limited gift to you. In the holy instant, we share  our faith in God's Son because we recognize together that he is
Tx:15.57  because we recognize together that he is wholly worthy of it, and in  our appreciation of his worth, we cannot doubt his holiness. And so
Tx:15.86  Our task is but to continue as fast as possible the necessary process
Tx:15.94 We who are one cannot give separately. When you are willing to accept  our relationship as real, guilt will hold no attraction for you. For
Tx:15.94  relationship as real, guilt will hold no attraction for you. For in  our union, you will accept all of our brothers. The gift of union is
Tx:15.94  hold no attraction for you. For in our union, you will accept all of  our brothers. The gift of union is the only gift that I was born to
Tx:15.103  that you may join with Him in healing, and let us celebrate  our release together by releasing everyone with us. Leave nothing
Tx:15.103  it with me. All pain and sacrifice and littleness will disappear in  our relationship, which is as innocent as our relationship with our
Tx:15.103  will disappear in our relationship, which is as innocent as  our relationship with our Father, and as powerful. Pain will be
Tx:15.103  in our relationship, which is as innocent as our relationship with  our Father, and as powerful. Pain will be brought to us and disappear
Tx:15.103  Father, and as powerful. Pain will be brought to us and disappear in  our presence, and without pain there can be no sacrifice. And without
Tx:15.112  same. And let all your relationships be made holy for you. This is  our will. Amen.
Tx:16.81 Forgive us  our illusions, Father, and help us to accept our true relationship
Tx:16.81 Forgive us our illusions, Father, and help us to accept  our true relationship with You in which there are no illusions and
Tx:16.81  You in which there are no illusions and where none can ever enter.  Our holiness is Yours. What can there be in us that needs forgiveness
Tx:17.42  ascend in peace together to the Father by giving Him ascendance in  our minds. We will gain everything by giving Him the power and the
Tx:17.42  the whole. The whole reality of your relationship with Him lies in  our relationship to one another. The holy instant shines alike on all
Tx:18.10  Let us join in Him in peace and gratitude and accept His gift as  our most holy and perfect reality, which we share in Him.
Tx:18.30  from the holy instant to which you brought it. We are made whole in  our desire to make whole. Let not time worry you, for all the fear
Tx:18.95  lead to knowledge, but knowledge itself is still beyond the scope of  our curriculum. Nor is there any need for us to try to speak of what
Tx:19.4 Do not overlook  our earlier statement that faithlessness leads straight to illusions.
Tx:19.64  be asked of you? There is no obstacle which you can place before  our union, for in your holy relationship, I am there already. We will
Tx:19.67  keep away One Who is there already. And in Him it is possible that  our communion, where we are joined already, will be the focus of the
Tx:19.68  it. If peace is homeless, so are you and so am I. And He Who is  our home is homeless with us. Is this your will? Would you forever be
Tx:19.85  against the ego's savage wish to kill. My brothers, children of  our Father, this is a dream of death. There is no funeral, no dark
Tx:20.12  the glad refrain the Son of God was never crucified. Let us lift up  our eyes together, not in fear, but faith. And there will be no fear
Tx:20.12  not in fear, but faith. And there will be no fear in us, for in  our vision will be no illusions—only a pathway to the open door of
Tx:20.13  each other's way. The holiness that leads us is within us, as is  our home. So will we find what we were meant to find by Him Who leads
Tx:20.26  and my Self. Your gift unto each other has given me the certainty  our union will be soon.
Tx:28.28 What waits in perfect certainty beyond salvation is not  our concern. For you have barely started to allow your first
Tx:30.88  of symbols are we joined so that they mean the same to all of us.  Our common language lets us speak to all our brothers and to
Tx:30.88  mean the same to all of us. Our common language lets us speak to all  our brothers and to understand with them forgiveness has been given
Tx:31.12  of what things mean and what their purpose is. Let us remember not  our own ideas of what the world is for. We do not know. Let every
Tx:31.12  We do not know. Let every image held of [anyone] be loosened from  our minds and swept away. Be innocent of judgment, unaware of any
Tx:31.94  the loveliness which they concealed appear like lawns of Heaven to  our sight to lift us high above the thorny roads we traveled on
W1:10.3  that you are not thinking. This is merely another way of repeating  our earlier statement that your mind is really a blank. To recognize
W1:13.8  any signs of overt or covert fear which it may arouse. This is  our first attempt at stating an explicit cause and effect
W1:14.3  into fear. You will not be left there. You will go far beyond it.  Our direction is toward perfect safety and perfect peace.
W1:20.1 We have been quite casual about  our practice periods thus far. There has been virtually no attempt to
W1:20.2 This is  our first attempt to introduce structure. Do not misconstrue it as an
W1:20.3  not mistake the little effort that is asked of you for a sign that  our goal is of little worth. Can the salvation of the world be a
W1:28.1  The question of whether you will keep them in the future is not  our concern here. If you are willing at least to make them now, you
W1:29.4  Our six two-minute practice periods for today should follow a now
W1:30.2  it outside. Instead, we are trying to see in the world what is in  our minds, and what we want to recognize is there. Thus we are trying
W1:41.4  and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we will make  our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud and to
W1:45.4  Our three five-minute practice periods for today will take the same

W1:63.3  day by acknowledging it and close the day with the thought of it in  our awareness. And throughout the day, we will repeat this as often
W1:64.3 To review  our last few lessons, your function here is to be the light of the
W1:66.1 You have surely noticed an emphasis throughout  our recent lessons on the connection between fulfilling your function
W1:66.4  Our longer practice period today has as its purpose your acceptance
W1:66.12  Try to make this choice as you think about the premises on which  our conclusion rests. We can share in this conclusion, but in no
W1:69.2  real attempt to reach the light in you. Before we undertake this in  our more extended practice period, let us devote several minutes in
W1:69.3 Let us begin  our longer practice period today with the full realization of all
W1:69.3  to reach what is dearer to us than all else. Salvation is  our only need. There is no other purpose here and no other function
W1:69.3  purpose here and no other function to fulfill. Learning salvation is  our only goal. Let us end the ancient search today by finding the
W1:72.10  it was placed by God. It is the body that is outside us and is not  our concern. To be without a body is to be in our natural state. To
W1:72.10  outside us and is not our concern. To be without a body is to be in  our natural state. To recognize the light of truth in us is to
W1:72.10  the light of truth in us is to recognize ourselves as we are. To see  our Self as separate from the body is to end the attack on God's plan
W1:72.11  Our goal in the longer practice periods today is to become aware that
W1:72.14  for salvation without waiting to hear what it is. We have shouted  our grievances so loudly that we have not listened to His Voice. We
W1:72.14  so loudly that we have not listened to His Voice. We have used  our grievances to close our eyes and stop our ears. Now we would see

W1:73.10 We will begin  our longer practice periods with the recognition that God's plan for
W1:74.1  for today can be regarded as the central thought toward which all  our exercises are directed. God's is the only will. When you have
W1:75.3  Our exercises for today will be happy ones in which we offer thanks
W1:75.3  the beginning of the new. No shadows from the past remain to darken  our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers us. Today we will

W1:75.4  practice periods will be devoted to looking at the world which  our forgiveness shows us. This is what we want to see, and only this.
W1:75.4  forgiveness shows us. This is what we want to see, and only this.  Our single purpose makes our goal inevitable. Today the real world
W1:75.4  This is what we want to see, and only this. Our single purpose makes  our goal inevitable. Today the real world rises before us in
W1:76.14  ourselves as subject to other laws throughout the day. It is  our statement of freedom from all danger and all tyranny. It is our

W1:76.14  all danger and all tyranny. It is our acknowledgment that God is  our Father and that His Son is saved.
W1:77.7  Our shorter practice periods will be frequent and will also be
W1:78.2  not wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently lift  our eyes in silence to behold the Son of God.
W1:78.4  We will not let ourselves be blind to him; we will not look upon  our grievances. So is the seeing of the world reversed, as we look
W1:78.7  Our longer practice periods today will see him in this role. We will
W1:78.7  today will see him in this role. We will attempt to hold him in  our mind, first as you now consider him. We will review his faults,
W1:78.8  reality and truth that we may look on him a different way and see  our savior shining in the light of true forgiveness given unto us. We
W1:78.12  the role assigned to us as part of God's salvation plan, and not  our own. Temptation falls away when we allow each one we meet to save
W1:78.12  each one we meet to save us and refuse to hide his light behind  our grievances. To everyone you meet and to the ones you think of or
W1:79.7 In  our longer practice periods today, we will ask what the problem is
W1:79.7  to it. We will not assume that we already know. We will try to free  our minds of all the many different kinds of problems that we think
W1:79.8  Our exercises for today will be successful to the extent to which we
W1:79.8  on defining the problem. Perhaps we will not succeed in letting all  our preconceived notions go, but that is not necessary. All that is
W1:79.8  that is necessary is to entertain some doubt about the reality of  our version of what our problems are. We are trying to recognize that
W1:79.8  is to entertain some doubt about the reality of our version of what  our problems are. We are trying to recognize that we have been given
W1:79.9  You will see many problems today, each one calling for an answer.  Our efforts will be directed toward recognizing that there is only
W1:80.4 In  our longer practice periods today, we will claim the peace that must
W1:R2.1 We are now ready for another review. We will begin where  our last review left off and cover two ideas each day. The earlier
W1:81.1  Our ideas for review today are:
W1:87.1  Our review today will cover these ideas:
W1:89.1 These are  our review ideas for today:
W1:89.7 I would not hold this grievance apart from my salvation. Let  our grievances be replaced by miracles, [name]. Beyond this is the
W1:91.8 The question with which this statement ends is needed for  our exercises today. What you think you are is a belief to be undone.
W1:93.8 In  our longer exercise periods today, which would be most profitable if
W1:93.8  of every waking hour, we will begin by stating the truth about  our creation:
W1:95.3  can hear and see and what makes perfect sense. We will again direct  our exercises towards reaching your One Self, which is united with
W1:95.9  for the next week or so, to be willing to forgive ourselves for  our lapses in diligence and our failures to follow the instructions
W1:95.9  to be willing to forgive ourselves for our lapses in diligence and  our failures to follow the instructions for practicing the day's idea.
W1:95.10  will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay  our learning. If we give it power to do this, we are regarding it as
W1:95.21 You are One Self with me, united with  our Creator in this Self. I honor you because of what I am, and what
W1:96.9  your mind is guaranteed by Him Who speaks to you from your One Self.  Our hourly five minute practicing will be a search for Him within
W1:98.2 How happy to be certain! All  our doubts we lay aside today and take our stand with certainty of
W1:98.2 How happy to be certain! All our doubts we lay aside today and take  our stand with certainty of purpose and with thanks that doubt is

W1:98.4  made. Those still uncertain too will join with us and, borrowing  our certainty, will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn
W1:100.5  fail to take the part that is essential to God's plan as well as to  our vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play another part
W1:100.6 Today we will attempt to understand joy is  our function here. If you are sad, your part is unfulfilled and all
W1:100.7  in your happy face. We will prepare ourselves for this today in  our five minute practice periods by feeling happiness arise in us
W1:100.7  practice periods by feeling happiness arise in us according to  our Father's Will and ours.
W1:102.3 For several days we will continue to devote  our longer practice periods to exercises planned to help you reach
W1:104.2  holy altar where God's gifts belong. These are the gifts which are  our own in truth. His are the gifts which we inherited before time
W1:104.3  now and know in choosing them in place of what we made we but unite  our will with what God wills and recognize the same as being one.
W1:104.4  Our longer practice periods today, the hourly five minutes given
W1:104.7 We clear a holy place within  our minds before His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy are
W1:105.7 Today  our practice periods will start a little differently. Begin today by
W1:107.8  We merely ask for what belongs to us, that we may recognize it as  our own.
W1:107.9  born of truth. The shaky and unsteady footsteps of illusion is not  our approach today. We are as certain of success as we are sure we
W1:108.13  Our very simple lesson for today will teach you much. Effect and
W1:109.1  on danger and on sorrow. And we have the thought that will answer  our asking with what we request.
W1:109.11 We rest together here, for thus  our rest is made complete, and what we give today we have received
W1:110.10  we make a great advance to truth by letting idols go and opening  our hands and hearts and minds to God today.
W1:110.11  remember Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of His Son,  our holy Self, the Christ in each of us:
W1:R3.1  Our third review begins today. We will review two of the last 20
W1:R3.2  to be sure that you catch up in terms of numbers. Rituals are not  our aim and would defeat our goal.
W1:R3.2  up in terms of numbers. Rituals are not our aim and would defeat  our goal.
W1:122.9 Remembering the gifts forgiveness gives, we undertake  our practicing today with hope and faith that this will be the day
W1:122.9  and gladly will we seek for it today, aware we hold the key within  our hands, accepting Heaven's answer to the hell we made, but where
W1:123.1  objections, and a little hesitance, but we can well be grateful for  our gains, which are far greater than we realize.
W1:123.4 Today in gratitude we lift  our hearts above despair and raise our thankful eyes, no longer
W1:123.4 Today in gratitude we lift our hearts above despair and raise  our thankful eyes, no longer looking downward to the dust. We sing
W1:123.4  thankfulness today in honor of the Self Which God has willed to be  our true Identity in Him. Today we smile on everyone we see and walk
W1:123.4  appointed us to do. We do not go alone. And we give thanks that in  our solitude a Friend has come to speak the saving Word of God to us.
W1:124.1 Today we will again give thanks for  our Identity in God. Our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all
W1:124.1 Today we will again give thanks for our Identity in God.  Our home is safe, protection guaranteed in all we do, power and
W1:124.1  guaranteed in all we do, power and strength available to us in all  our undertakings. We can fail in nothing. Everything we touch takes
W1:124.1  and which heals. At one with God and with the universe, we go  our way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere
W1:124.2 How holy are  our minds! And everything we see reflects the holiness within the
W1:124.2  easily do errors disappear and death give place to everlasting life.  Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for God is our
W1:124.2  life. Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for God is  our Companion as we walk the world a little while. And those who come
W1:124.3 What we receive is  our eternal gift to those who follow after and to those who went
W1:124.4 No meaningless anxieties can come between  our faith and our awareness of His Presence. We are one with Him
W1:124.4 No meaningless anxieties can come between our faith and  our awareness of His Presence. We are one with Him today in
W1:124.4  one with Him today in recognition and remembrance. We feel Him in  our hearts. Our minds contain His thoughts; our eyes behold His
W1:124.4  Him today in recognition and remembrance. We feel Him in our hearts.  Our minds contain His thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all
W1:124.4  We feel Him in our hearts. Our minds contain His thoughts;  our eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon. Today we see only
W1:124.7  We have accepted and we now would give, for we would keep the gifts  our Father gave. Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him,
W1:124.7  experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the world may share  our recognition of reality. In our experience the world is freed; as
W1:124.7  with Him, so that the world may share our recognition of reality. In  our experience the world is freed; as we deny our separation from our
W1:124.7  of reality. In our experience the world is freed; as we deny  our separation from our Father, it is healed along with us.
W1:124.7  In our experience the world is freed; as we deny our separation from  our Father, it is healed along with us.
W1:124.8  a half an hour to the thought that you are one with God. This is  our first attempt at an extended period for which we give no rules
W1:125.3 In stillness we will hear God's Voice today without intrusion of  our petty thoughts, without our personal desires, and without all
W1:125.3  God's Voice today without intrusion of our petty thoughts, without  our personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy Word. We
W1:127.6 Today we practice making free  our minds of all the laws you think you must obey, of all the limits
W1:127.9  leave the past behind us, never more to be remembered. And we raise  our eyes upon a different present, where a future shines unlike the
W1:127.10  enemy. Now are they all made free along with us. Now are they all  our brothers in God's Love.
W1:127.11  them throughout the day because we cannot leave a part of us outside  our love if we would know our Self. At least three times an hour
W1:127.11  we cannot leave a part of us outside our love if we would know  our Self. At least three times an hour think of one who makes the
W1:128.5  aspects and its phases and its dreams. We hold it purposeless within  our minds and loosen it from all we wish it were. Thus do we lift the
W1:129.1  there is something else to hope for, you will only be depressed.  Our emphasis is not on giving up the world but on exchanging it for
W1:130.7  nor attempt to bring with us a little part of unreality as we devote  our minds to finding only what is real.
W1:131.12 This we acknowledge as we start upon  our practice periods. Begin with this:
W1:132.15 Today  our purpose is to free the world from all the idle thoughts we ever
W1:132.15  it. They cannot be there—no more than we. For we are in the home  our Father set for us along with them. And we who are as He created
W1:132.15  as He created us would loose the world this day from every one of  our illusions that we may be free.
W1:133.15  Our two extended practice periods of 15 minutes will begin with this:
W1:134.14  that the time of joining be no more delayed. For we would meet with  our reality in freedom and in peace. Our practicing becomes the
W1:134.14  delayed. For we would meet with our reality in freedom and in peace.  Our practicing becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for all
W1:134.14  Our practicing becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for all  our brothers, who will follow us to the reality we share with them.
W1:135.21  be increased until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will  our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed them
W1:135.22  for us. We will be sure that everything we need is given us for  our accomplishment of this today. We make no plans for how it will be
W1:135.22  today. We make no plans for how it will be done but realize that  our defenselessness is all that is required for the truth to dawn
W1:135.22  defenselessness is all that is required for the truth to dawn upon  our minds with certainty.
W1:135.23  planning and from every thought which blocks the truth from entering  our minds. Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may give
W1:136.15  if you will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. This is  our aim today. And we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the
W1:137.12  and this cannot succeed. Today we ask that only truth will occupy  our minds, that thoughts of healing will this day go forth from what
W1:137.13 We will remember, as the hour strikes,  our function is to let our minds be healed that we may carry healing
W1:137.13 We will remember, as the hour strikes, our function is to let  our minds be healed that we may carry healing to the world,
W1:137.16  function be forgot as every hour of the day slips by, remembering  our function with this thought:
W1:138.12 Before we close  our eyes in sleep tonight, we reaffirm the choice that we have made
W1:138.12  made each hour in between. And now we give the last five minutes of  our waking day to the decision with which we awoke. As every hour
W1:138.12  decision with which we awoke. As every hour passed, we have declared  our choice again in a brief quiet time devoted to maintaining sanity.
W1:139.8  or a statement which denies itself in statement? Let us not allow  our holy minds to occupy themselves with senseless musings such as
W1:139.8  Let us not forget the goal that we accepted. It is more than just  our happiness alone we came to gain. What we accept as what we are
W1:139.10 Five minutes in the morning and at night we will devote to dedicate  our minds to our assignment for today. We start with this review of
W1:139.10  in the morning and at night we will devote to dedicate our minds to  our assignment for today. We start with this review of what our
W1:139.10  minds to our assignment for today. We start with this review of what  our mission is:
W1:139.12  it for everyone, for in creation are all minds as one and in  our memory is the recall how dear our brothers are to us in truth,
W1:139.12  are all minds as one and in our memory is the recall how dear  our brothers are to us in truth, how much a part of us is every mind,
W1:139.12  us is every mind, how faithful they have really been to us, and how  our Father's Love contains us all.
W1:139.13  its Creator and His oneness with all aspects of creation, we repeat  our dedication to our cause today each hour, as we lay aside all
W1:139.13  oneness with all aspects of creation, we repeat our dedication to  our cause today each hour, as we lay aside all thoughts that would
W1:139.13  each hour, as we lay aside all thoughts that would distract us from  our holy aim. For several minutes let your mind be cleared of all the
W1:140.8 Today we seek to change  our minds about the source of sickness, for we seek a cure for all
W1:140.8  them. We will try today to find the source of healing, which is in  our minds because our Father placed it there for us. It is not
W1:140.8  today to find the source of healing, which is in our minds because  our Father placed it there for us. It is not further from us than
W1:140.8  us. It is not further from us than ourselves. It is as near to us as  our own thoughts—so close it is impossible to lose. We need but
W1:140.10 So do we lay aside  our amulets, our charms and medicines, our chants and bits of magic
W1:140.10 So do we lay aside our amulets,  our charms and medicines, our chants and bits of magic in whatever
W1:140.10 So do we lay aside our amulets, our charms and medicines,  our chants and bits of magic in whatever form they took. We will be

W1:140.11  minutes more before we go to sleep. Our only preparation is to let  our interfering thoughts be laid aside, not separately, but all of
W1:140.11  need to make them different and thus delay the time when we can hear  our Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We come to Him today.
W1:140.12 With nothing in  our hands to which we cling, with lifted hearts and listening minds
W1:140.14  soft protection and with peace so deep that no illusion can disturb  our minds nor offer proof to us that it is real. This will we learn
W1:140.14  to us that it is real. This will we learn today. And we will say  our prayer for healing hourly and take a minute as the hour strikes
W1:140.14  hourly and take a minute as the hour strikes to hear the answer to  our prayer be given us as we attend in silence and in joy. This is
W1:R4.1  begin to concentrate on readiness for what will follow next. Such is  our aim for this review and for the lessons following. Thus we review
W1:R4.5 Let us begin  our preparation with some understanding of the many forms in which
W1:R4.6  So do we start each practice period in this review with readying  our minds to understand the lessons that we read and see the meaning
W1:R4.10  has laid in it for you to have of Him. And we will use no format for  our practicing but this:
W1:R4.11  us happiness and rest and endless quiet, perfect certainty, and all  our Father wills that we receive as the inheritance we have of Him.
W1:R4.12  day a special time of blessing and of happiness for us and through  our faithfulness restored the world from darkness to the light, from
W1:151.13  of the thought with which the day begins. And then we watch  our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of
W1:151.16  the world redeemed and joyfully released from guilt. Now do we lift  our resurrected minds in gladness and in gratitude to Him Who has
W1:151.16  minds in gladness and in gratitude to Him Who has restored  our sanity to us.
W1:151.17  As we give thanks the world unites with us and happily accepts  our holy thoughts which Heaven has corrected and made pure. Now has
W1:151.17  our holy thoughts which Heaven has corrected and made pure. Now has  our ministry begun at last, to carry round the world the joyous news
W1:152.8  and accept what we have made as what it is. The power of decision is  our own. Decide but to accept your rightful place as co-creator of
W1:152.10  are sinners, guilty and afraid, ashamed of what we are. And we lift  our hearts in true humility instead to Him Who has created us
W1:152.10  like to Himself in power and in love. The power of decision is  our own. And we accept of Him that which we are and humbly recognize
W1:152.11  his right to Heaven and release from hell are joyously accepted as  our own. Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false
W1:152.12  as we arise and spend five minutes practicing its ways, encouraging  our frightened minds with this:
W1:152.14  we wait in silence, giving up all self-deceptions as we humbly ask  our Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left will
W1:152.14  He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left will come again to  our awareness, grateful to restore His home to God as it was meant to
W1:153.8 We will not play such childish games today. For  our true purpose is to save the world, and we would not exchange for
W1:153.8  the world, and we would not exchange for foolishness the endless joy  our function offers us. We would not let our happiness slip by
W1:153.8  foolishness the endless joy our function offers us. We would not let  our happiness slip by because a senseless fragment of a dream
W1:153.8  slip by because a senseless fragment of a dream happened to cross  our minds, and we mistook the figures in it for the Son of God, its
W1:153.9  behind. And in defenselessness we stand secure, serenely certain of  our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen
W1:153.9  certain of our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill  our chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy blessing through
W1:153.9  now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose as  our ministry extends its holy blessing through the world.
W1:153.13  quiet time has come in which we put away the toys of guilt and lock  our quaint and childish thoughts of sin forever from the pure and
W1:153.13  children and the Son of God. We pause but for a moment more to play  our final happy game upon this earth. And then we go to take our
W1:153.13  to play our final happy game upon this earth. And then we go to take  our rightful place where truth abides and games are meaningless.
W1:153.15  we will maintain for quite a while. We will begin each day by giving  our attention to the daily thought as long as possible. Five minutes
W1:153.15  15 better still. And as distraction ceases to arise to turn us from  our purpose, we will find that half an hour is too short a time to
W1:153.16 Each hour adds to  our increasing peace, as we remember to be faithful to the will we
W1:153.16  on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little while and turn  our thoughts to God.
W1:153.17 Yet when we can, we will observe  our trust as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of our mission
W1:153.17  will observe our trust as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of  our mission and His Love. And we will quietly sit by and wait on Him
W1:153.19 Today  our theme is our defenselessness. We clothe ourselves in it as we
W1:153.19 Today our theme is  our defenselessness. We clothe ourselves in it as we prepare to meet
W1:153.19  as we prepare to meet the day. We rise up strong in Christ and let  our weakness disappear as we remember that His strength abides in us.
W1:153.19  ourselves that He remains beside us through the day and never leaves  our weakness unsupported by His strength.
W1:153.20 We call upon His strength each time we feel the threat of  our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We will pause a
W1:153.20  His strength each time we feel the threat of our defenses undermine  our certainty of purpose. We will pause a moment as He tells us, “I

W1:154.1  decision off, and to delay commitment to our function. It is not  our part to judge our worth, nor can we know what role is best for
W1:154.1  and to delay commitment to our function. It is not our part to judge  our worth, nor can we know what role is best for us; what we can do
W1:154.1  what we can do within a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety.  Our part is cast in Heaven, not in hell. And what we think is
W1:154.1  And what we think is weakness can be strength; what we believe to be  our strength is often arrogance.

W1:154.10  to keep our minds apart from Him Who speaks for us, for it is but  our voice we hear as we attend Him. He alone can speak to us and for
W1:154.11  what He would have that we may recognize His gifts to us. He needs  our voice that He may speak through us. He needs our hands to hold
W1:154.11  to us. He needs our voice that He may speak through us. He needs  our hands to hold His messages and carry them to those whom He
W1:154.11  hold His messages and carry them to those whom He appoints. He needs  our feet to bring us where He wills, that those who wait in misery
W1:154.11  that those who wait in misery may be at last delivered. And He needs  our will united with His own, that we may be the true receivers of
W1:154.13  Our lesson for today is stated thus:
W1:154.15 The world recedes as we light up  our minds and realize these holy words are true. They are the message
W1:154.15  holy words are true. They are the message sent to us today from  our Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed our minds about
W1:154.15  us today from our Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed  our minds about ourselves and what our function is. For as we prove
W1:154.15  demonstrate how they have changed our minds about ourselves and what  our function is. For as we prove that we accept no will we do not
W1:154.15  function is. For as we prove that we accept no will we do not share,  our many gifts from our Creator will spring to our sight and leap
W1:154.15  we prove that we accept no will we do not share, our many gifts from  our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we
W1:154.15  will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator will spring to  our sight and leap into our hands, and we will understand what we
W1:154.15  many gifts from our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into  our hands, and we will understand what we received.
W1:155.11  as we progress along the way that truth points out to us. This is  our final journey, which we make for everyone. We must not lose our
W1:155.11  is our final journey, which we make for everyone. We must not lose  our way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before our brothers
W1:155.11  not lose our way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before  our brothers who will follow us.
W1:156.2 We are not inconsistent in the thoughts that we present in  our curriculum. Truth must be true throughout if it be true. It
W1:157.2  attain. It leaves us there an instant and we go beyond it, sure of  our direction and our only goal.
W1:157.2  us there an instant and we go beyond it, sure of our direction and  our only goal.
W1:157.6  cannot give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in  our eyes which we can offer everyone that he may come the sooner to
W1:158.2  this cannot be learned. What, then, are you to learn to give today?  Our lesson yesterday evoked a theme found early in the text.
W1:158.6  unlearned, untaught, unseen, is merely there. This is beyond  our goal, for it transcends what needs to be accomplished. Our
W1:158.6  is beyond our goal, for it transcends what needs to be accomplished.  Our concern is with Christ's vision. This we can attain.
W1:159.10  awakens us to truth. His vision gives the means for a return to  our unlost and everlasting sanctity in God.
W1:160.2 There is a stranger in  our midst who comes from an idea so foreign to the truth he speaks a
W1:161.1 Today we practice differently and take a stand against  our anger, that our fears may disappear and offer room to love. Here
W1:161.1  we practice differently and take a stand against our anger, that  our fears may disappear and offer room to love. Here is salvation in
W1:161.5 It seems to be the body that we feel limits  our freedom, makes us suffer, and at last puts out our life. Yet
W1:161.5  we feel limits our freedom, makes us suffer, and at last puts out  our life. Yet bodies are but symbols of a concrete form of fear. Fear
W1:161.6 Bodies attack but minds do not. This thought is surely reminiscent of  our text, where it is often emphasized. This is the reason bodies
W1:163.8  death, and we renounce it now in every form for their salvation and  our own as well. God made not death. Whatever form it takes must
W1:163.9  Our Father, bless our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we
W1:163.9 Our Father, bless  our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would look upon the
W1:163.9  You and part of You forever. We accept Your thoughts as ours, and  our will is one with Yours eternally. Amen.
W1:164.1  instant, now, we come to look upon what is forever there—not in  our sight, but in the eyes of Christ. He looks past time and sees
W1:164.7  receive but what is given us from judgment made beyond the world.  Our practicing today becomes our gift of thankfulness for our release
W1:164.7  us from judgment made beyond the world. Our practicing today becomes  our gift of thankfulness for our release from blindness and from
W1:164.7  the world. Our practicing today becomes our gift of thankfulness for  our release from blindness and from misery. All that we see will but
W1:164.7  from blindness and from misery. All that we see will but increase  our joy because its holiness reflects our own. We stand forgiven in
W1:164.7  that we see will but increase our joy because its holiness reflects  our own. We stand forgiven in the sight of Christ, with all the world
W1:164.7  forgiven in the sight of Christ, with all the world forgiven in  our own.
W1:164.8 We bless the world as we behold it in the light in which  our Savior looks on us and offer it the freedom given us through His
W1:164.8  and offer it the freedom given us through His forgiving vision, now  our own. Open the curtain in your practicing by merely letting go all
W1:165.7  Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond  our every doubt. His love remains beyond our every fear. The thought
W1:165.7  His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His love remains beyond  our every fear. The thought of Him is still beyond all dreams and in
W1:165.7  our every fear. The thought of Him is still beyond all dreams and in  our minds according to His Will.
W1:167.3  this course has placed on that idea is due to its centrality in  our attempts to change your mind about yourself. It is the reason you
W1:167.10 Let us today be children of the truth and not deny  our holy heritage. Our life is not as we imagine it. Who changes life
W1:167.10 Let us today be children of the truth and not deny our holy heritage.  Our life is not as we imagine it. Who changes life because he shuts
W1:167.12 We share  our life because we have one Source, a Source from Which perfection
W1:168.3 Today we ask of God the gift He has most carefully preserved within  our hearts, waiting to be acknowledged. This the gift by which God
W1:168.3  Himself and takes us in His arms and sweeps away the cobwebs of  our sleep. His gift of grace is more than just an answer. It restores
W1:168.5  is a new and holy day today, for we receive what has been given us.  Our faith lies in the Giver, not our own acceptance. We acknowledge
W1:168.5  we receive what has been given us. Our faith lies in the Giver, not  our own acceptance. We acknowledge our mistakes, but He to Whom all
W1:168.5  Our faith lies in the Giver, not our own acceptance. We acknowledge  our mistakes, but He to Whom all error is unknown is yet the One Who
W1:168.5  but He to Whom all error is unknown is yet the One Who answers  our mistakes by giving us the means to lay them down and rise to Him
W1:169.4 We have perhaps appeared to contradict  our statement that the revelation of the Father and the Son as one
W1:169.14  Our learning goal today does not exceed this prayer, yet in the
W1:170.14  with what we have received from You alone. We choose again and make  our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We
W1:170.14  received from You alone. We choose again and make our choice for all  our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring them Your
W1:170.14  render us complete. In them we see Your glory, and in them we find  our peace. Holy are we because Your holiness has set us free. And we
W1:R5.1  on again more certain, more sincere, with faith upheld more surely.  Our footsteps have not been unwavering, and doubts have made us walk
W1:R5.2 Steady  our feet, our Father; let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be
W1:R5.2 Steady our feet,  our Father; let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and
W1:R5.2 Steady our feet, our Father; let  our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We
W1:R5.2 Steady our feet, our Father; let our doubts be quiet and  our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no words to give to
W1:R5.2  give to You. We would but listen to Your Word and make it ours. Lead  our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he
W1:R5.3 So do we bring  our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. If we
W1:R5.3  We wander off, but You will not forget to call us back. Quicken  our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and quickly unto
W1:R5.3  and quickly unto You. And we accept the Word You offer us to unify  our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have given us.
W1:R5.7  will shorten time immeasurably if we keep in mind that This remains  our goal, and as we practice, it is This to which we are approaching.
W1:R5.7  as we practice, it is This to which we are approaching. Let us raise  our hearts from dust to life as we remember This is promised us, and
W1:R5.10  has given Him. Together we review these thoughts. Together we devote  our time and effort to them. And together we will teach them to our
W1:R5.10  our time and effort to them. And together we will teach them to  our brothers. God would not have Heaven incomplete. It waits for you,
W1:R5.10  without your part in me. And as I am made whole, we go together to  our ancient home, prepared for us before time was and kept unchanged
W1:R5.11  is not a way we walk alone. In him I walk with you and you with me.  Our Father wills His Son be one with Him. What lives but must not
W1:R5.14 With this we start each day of  our review. With this we start and end each period of practice time.
W1:R5.14  thought we sleep, to waken once again with these same words upon  our lips to greet another day. No thought that we review but we
W1:R5.14  but we surround with it and use the thoughts to hold it up before  our minds and keep it clear in our remembrance throughout the day.
W1:R5.14  use the thoughts to hold it up before our minds and keep it clear in  our remembrance throughout the day. And thus when we have finished
W1:177.3 [164] Now are we one with Him Who is  our Source. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:I2.1  Our next few lessons make a special point of firming up your
W1:I2.2  Our lessons now are geared specifically to widening horizons and
W1:I2.2  keep your vision narrow and too limited to let you see the value of  our goal. We are attempting now to lift these blocks, however
W1:I2.3 And so we start  our journey beyond words by concentrating first on what impedes our
W1:I2.3  our journey beyond words by concentrating first on what impedes  our progress still. Experience of what exists beyond defensiveness
W1:181.3  practicing today, we first let all such little focuses give way to  our great need to let our sinlessness become apparent. We instruct
W1:181.3  first let all such little focuses give way to our great need to let  our sinlessness become apparent. We instruct our minds that it is
W1:181.3  our great need to let our sinlessness become apparent. We instruct  our minds that it is this we seek and only this, for just a little
W1:181.3  we seek and only this, for just a little while. We do not care about  our future goals, and what we saw an instant previous has no concern
W1:181.3  for us within this interval of time wherein we practice changing  our intent. We seek for innocence and nothing else. We seek for it
W1:181.5  within. We recognize that we have lost this goal if anger blocks  our way in any form. And if a brother's sins occur to us, our
W1:181.5  blocks our way in any form. And if a brother's sins occur to us,  our narrowed focus will restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon our
W1:181.5  if a brother's sins occur to us, our narrowed focus will restrict  our sight and turn our eyes upon our own mistakes, which we will
W1:181.5  occur to us, our narrowed focus will restrict our sight and turn  our eyes upon our own mistakes, which we will magnify and call our
W1:181.5  our narrowed focus will restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon  our own mistakes, which we will magnify and call our “sins.”
W1:181.5  turn our eyes upon our own mistakes, which we will magnify and call  our “sins.”
W1:181.6  such blocks arise, we will transcend them with instructions to  our minds to change their focus, as we say:
W1:181.8  long range goals. As each obstruction seems to block the vision of  our sinlessness, we seek but for surcease an instant from the misery
W1:181.9  for fantasies. For what we seek to look upon is really there. And as  our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly sinless
W1:181.9  eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the love He feels for us becomes  our own as well. This will become the only thing we see reflected in
W1:181.10 The world which once proclaimed  our sins becomes the proof that we are sinless. And our love for
W1:181.10  once proclaimed our sins becomes the proof that we are sinless. And  our love for everyone we look upon attests to our remembrance of the
W1:181.10  we are sinless. And our love for everyone we look upon attests to  our remembrance of the holy Self Which knows no sin and never could
W1:181.10  without Its sinlessness. We seek for this remembrance as we turn  our minds to practicing today. We look neither ahead nor backwards.
W1:181.10  ahead nor backwards. We look straight into the present. And we give  our trust to the experience we ask for now. Our sinlessness is but
W1:181.10  the present. And we give our trust to the experience we ask for now.  Our sinlessness is but the Will of God. This instant is our willing
W1:181.10  ask for now. Our sinlessness is but the Will of God. This instant is  our willing one with His.
W1:183.7  when we say today's idea but once. And then God's Name becomes  our only thought, our only word, the only thing that occupies our
W1:183.7  today's idea but once. And then God's Name becomes our only thought,  our only word, the only thing that occupies our minds, the only wish
W1:183.7  our only thought, our only word, the only thing that occupies  our minds, the only wish we have, the only sound with any meaning,
W1:183.7  everything that we desire to see; of everything that we would call  our own.
W1:183.12  height whatever words could possibly convey, is peace eternal. In  our Father's Name, we would experience this peace today. And in His
W1:184.12  who chose the teaching of the world to take the place of Heaven. In  our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds accept what He has
W1:184.12  of the world to take the place of Heaven. In our practicing,  our purpose is to let our minds accept what He has given as the
W1:184.12  take the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is to let  our minds accept what He has given as the answer to the pitiful
W1:184.13  but have not interfered with truth at all. One Name we bring into  our practicing. One Name we use to unify our sight.
W1:184.13  all. One Name we bring into our practicing. One Name we use to unify  our sight.
W1:184.14  kept us blind. And we are given strength to see beyond them. Now  our sight is blessed with blessings we can give as we receive.
W1:184.15 Father,  our Name is Yours. In It we are united with all living things and You
W1:184.15  Your Own Reality. And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. All  our mistakes we give to You, that we may be absolved of all effects
W1:184.15  our mistakes we give to You, that we may be absolved of all effects  our errors seemed to have. And we accept the truth You give in place
W1:184.15  the truth You give in place of every one of them. Your Name is  our salvation and escape from what we made. Your Name unites us in
W1:184.15  from what we made. Your Name unites us in the Oneness which is  our inheritance and peace. Amen.
W1:185.7 Let us today devote  our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words we say.
W1:185.14 It is this one intent we seek today, uniting  our desires with the need of every heart, the call of every mind, the
W1:186.2 Let us not fight  our function. We did not establish it. It is not our idea. The means
W1:186.2 Let us not fight our function. We did not establish it. It is not  our idea. The means are given us by which it will be perfectly
W1:186.2  be perfectly accomplished. All that we are asked to do is to accept  our part in genuine humility and not deny with self-deceiving
W1:186.2  we are worthy. What is given us to do we have the strength to do.  Our minds are suited perfectly to take the part assigned to us by One
W1:186.3  what could arrogance deny but this? Today we will not shrink from  our assignment on the specious grounds that modesty is outraged. It
W1:186.4  God's Voice reveal to us what He would have us do. We do not doubt  our adequacy for the function He will offer us. We will be certain
W1:186.4  the function He will offer us. We will be certain only that He knows  our strengths, our wisdom, and our holiness. And if He deems us
W1:186.4  will offer us. We will be certain only that He knows our strengths,  our wisdom, and our holiness. And if He deems us worthy, so we are.
W1:186.4  We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our wisdom, and  our holiness. And if He deems us worthy, so we are. It is but
W1:186.8 And so we find  our peace. We will accept the function God has given us, for all
W1:186.8  rest upon the weird belief that we can make another for ourselves.  Our self-made roles are shifting, and they seem to change from
W1:186.8  We can laugh or weep and greet the day with welcome or with tears.  Our very being seems to change as we experience a thousand shifts in
W1:186.8  seems to change as we experience a thousand shifts in mood, and  our emotions raise us high indeed or dash us to the ground in
W1:187.10  we stand together as one Son of God. Not separate from Him Who is  our Source; not distant from one brother who is part of our One Self
W1:187.10  Him Who is our Source; not distant from one brother who is part of  our One Self Whose innocence has joined us all as one, we stand in
W1:187.10  stand in blessedness and give as we receive. The Name of God is on  our lips. And as we look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in
W1:187.10  lips. And as we look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in  our reflection of our Father's Love.
W1:187.10  look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of  our Father's Love.
W1:187.11  see it, it will be returned to us in form of lilies we can lay upon  our altar, making it a home for Innocence Itself, Who dwells in us
W1:188.8 We practice coming nearer to the light in us today. We take  our wandering thoughts and gently bring them back to where they fall
W1:188.8  share with God. We will not let them stray. We let the light within  our minds direct them to come home. We have betrayed them, ordering
W1:188.9 Thus are  our minds restored with them, and we acknowledge that the peace of
W1:188.9  God still shines in us and from us to all living things that share  our life. We will forgive them all, absolving all the world of what
W1:188.9  it be innocent, devoid of sin, and open to salvation. And we lay  our saving blessing on it as we say:
W1:189.9  we do choose to let Him come. And with this choice we rest. And in  our quiet hearts and open minds His love will blaze its pathway of
W1:189.10  have answered us. We will not interfere. Salvation's ways are not  our own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them.
W1:189.10  own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them.  Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no thoughts we
W1:189.10  we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is  our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a
W1:190.11  illusions and the truth, or pain and joy, or hell and Heaven. Let  our gratitude unto our Teacher fill our hearts as we are free to

W1:200.9 Let us not lose  our way again today. We go to Heaven, and the path is straight. Only

W2:I.2  as we will need for the result that we desire. Nor will we forget  our hourly remembrance in between, calling to God when we have need
W2:I.2  calling to God when we have need of Him as we are tempted to forget  our goal.

W2:I.6  given us by You. We look not backward now. We look ahead and fix  our eyes upon the journey's end. Accept these little gifts of thanks
W2:I.6  the one we made and take that world to be the full replacement of  our own.
W2:I.7  silence, unafraid and certain of Your coming. We have sought to find  our way by following the Guide You sent to us. We did not know the

W2:I.9  Himself and be what we would make of Him. And we believed that  our insane desires were the truth. Now we are glad that this is all
W2:I.9  true. The memory of God is shimmering across the wide horizons of  our minds. A moment more, and it will rise again. A moment more, and
W2:I.11  time, instructions on a theme of special relevance will intersperse  our daily lessons and the periods of wordless, deep experience which
W2:221.2  to you, and you will hear. Accept my confidence, for it is yours.  Our minds are joined. We wait with one intent—to hear our Father's
W2:221.2  it is yours. Our minds are joined. We wait with one intent—to hear  our Father's answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and
W2:221.2  are joined. We wait with one intent—to hear our Father's answer to  our call, to let our thoughts be still and find His peace, to hear

W2:222.2 Father, we have no words except Your Name upon  our lips and in our minds as we come quietly into Your Presence now
W2:222.2 Father, we have no words except Your Name upon our lips and in  our minds as we come quietly into Your Presence now and ask to rest
W2:223.2  Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes.
W2:223.2 Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of  our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We would look
W2:223.2  For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We would look upon  our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your Son. And we
W2:223.2  and long for Heaven where we are at home. Today we would return.  Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your Son.
W2:227.2 And so today we find  our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. The Son of God
W2:WS.4  daily to this holy place and spend a while together. Here we share  our final dream. It is a dream in which there is no sorrow, for it
W2:WS.5  to the world, for it is here salvation was received. The song of  our rejoicing is the call to all the world that freedom is returned,
W2:231.2  And you share this will with me, and with the One as well Who is  our Father. To remember Him is Heaven. This we seek. And only this is
W2:234.2  that we cannot lose the memory of You and of Your Love. We recognize  our safety and give thanks for all the gifts You have bestowed on us,
W2:238.2 And so again today we pause to think how much  our Father loves us. And how dear His Son, created by His Love,
W2:239.1  hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for the gifts  our Father gave us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory
W2:240.2 How foolish are  our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us faith today to
W2:WIW.5 Let us not rest content until the world has joined  our changed perception. Let us not be satisfied until forgiveness has
W2:WIW.5  forgiveness has been made complete. And let us not attempt to change  our function. We must save the world. For we who made it must behold
W2:241.2  never left, returns to Heaven and his home. How glad are we to have  our sanity restored to us, and to remember that we all are one.
W2:242.2  we want. Give us what You would have received by us. You know all  our desires and our needs. And You will give us everything we want
W2:242.2  us what You would have received by us. You know all our desires and  our needs. And You will give us everything we want and that will help
W2:244.2  there we are in truth. No storms can come into the hallowed haven of  our home. In God are we secure. For what can come to threaten God
W2:249.2 Father, we would return  our minds to You. We have betrayed them, held them in a vise of
W2:251.2 And for that peace,  our Father, we give thanks. What we denied ourselves You have
W2:254.2 Today we let no ego thoughts direct  our words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back
W2:254.2  stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of  our will, as we have chosen to remember Him.
W2:256.1  remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. God is  our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds return to Him
W2:256.1  to dream today. God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which  our minds return to Him at last.
W2:256.2 And so,  our Father, would we come to You in Your appointed way. We have no
W2:257.1  be determined to remember what we want today that we may unify  our thoughts and actions meaningfully and achieve only what God would
W2:257.2 Father, forgiveness is Your chosen means for  our salvation. Let us not forget that we can have no will but Yours
W2:257.2  Let us not forget that we can have no will but Yours today. And thus  our purpose must be Yours as well if we would reach the peace You
W2:258.1 All that is needful is to train  our minds to overlook all little, senseless aims and to remember that
W2:258.1  minds to overlook all little, senseless aims and to remember that  our goal is God. His memory is hidden in our minds, obscured but by

W2:258.1  our goal is God. His memory is hidden in our minds, obscured but by  our pointless little goals which offer nothing and do not exist.
W2:258.1  while the toys and trinkets of the world are sought instead? God is  our only goal, our only Love. We have no aim but to remember Him.
W2:258.1  and trinkets of the world are sought instead? God is our only goal,  our only Love. We have no aim but to remember Him.
W2:258.2  Our goal is but to follow in the way that leads to You. We have no
W2:258.2  this. What could we want but to remember You? What could we seek but  our Identity?
W2:259.1  and the distorted seem more clear? What else but sin engenders  our attacks? What else but sin could be the source of guilt,
W2:260.2 Now is  our Source remembered, and therein we find our true Identity at last.
W2:260.2 Now is our Source remembered, and therein we find  our true Identity at last. Holy indeed are we because our Source can
W2:260.2  we find our true Identity at last. Holy indeed are we because  our Source can know no sin. And we who are His Sons are like each

W2:266.2  into paradise, calling upon God's name and on our own, acknowledging  our Self in each of us, united in the holy Love of God. How many
W2:268.2 Let not  our sight be blasphemous today nor let our ears attend to lying
W2:268.2 Let not our sight be blasphemous today nor let  our ears attend to lying tongues. Only reality is free of pain. Only
W2:269.2 Today  our sight is blessed indeed. We share one vision as we look upon the
W2:269.2  ours. We are one because of Him Who is the Son of God, of Him Who is  our own Identity.
W2:270.2 The quiet of today will bless  our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is
W2:270.2  our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is  our eyes today. And through His sight, we offer healing to the world
W2:273.1  let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell  our minds with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is
W2:274.2 A special blessing comes to us today from Him Who is  our Father. Give this day to Him and there will be no fear today
W2:276.1  and all is given us. Deny we were created in His Love, and we deny  our Self, to be unsure of who we are, of who our Father is, and for
W2:276.1  His Love, and we deny our Self, to be unsure of who we are, of who  our Father is, and for what purpose we have come. And yet we need but

W2:300.2 We seek Your holy world today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost  our way a while. But we have listened to Your Voice and learned
W2:300.2  Voice and learned exactly what to do to be restored to Heaven and  our true Identity. And we give thanks today the world endures but for
W2:WISC.5  holy light. Behold, the Son of God is one in us, and we can reach  our Father's Love through him.
W2:302.1 Father,  our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as our sight
W2:302.1 Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as  our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we suffered.
W2:302.1  we had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that darkness is  our own imagining and light is there for us to look upon. Christ's

W2:305.2  Your gift and judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from  our judgment on ourselves.
W2:306.2 And so,  our Father, we return to You, remembering we never went away,
W2:307.2  silently into a state where conflict cannot come because we join  our holy will with God's in recognition that they are but one.
W2:310.2  this day together, you and I. And all the world joins with us in  our song of thankfulness and joy to Him Who gave salvation to us, and
W2:310.2  is no room in us for fear today, for we have welcomed love into  our hearts.
W2:313.2  and join with me today. We save the world when we are joined. For in  our vision it becomes as holy as the light in us.

W2:WICR.4  of our eternal unity with Him. Yet back of all our doubts, past all  our fears, there still is certainty. For Love remains with all Its
W2:WICR.4  with all Its thought, Its sureness being theirs. God's memory is in  our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their
W2:WICR.4  which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator. Let  our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's
W2:WICR.5  Our Father calls to us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in

W2:328.1  we will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate and that  our independence from the rest of God's creation is the way in which
W2:328.1  we find is sickness, suffering and loss, and death. This is not what  our Father wills for us, nor is there any second to His Will. To join
W2:328.1  nor is there any second to His Will. To join with His is but to find  our own. And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to
W2:328.1  to His Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since  our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our will.
W2:328.1  And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize  our will.

W2:330.1 Let us this day accept forgiveness as  our only function. Why should we attack our minds and give them
W2:330.1  day accept forgiveness as our only function. Why should we attack  our minds and give them images of pain? Why should we teach them they

W2:330.2  Son cannot be hurt. And if we think we suffer, we but fail to know  our one Identity we share with You. We would return to It today, to
W2:330.2  You. We would return to It today, to be made free forever from all  our mistakes and to be saved from what we thought we were.
W2:332.2  is given us. And we would not remain as prisoners while You hold out  our freedom unto us.
W2:333.2  chose to shine away all conflict and all doubt and light the way for  our return to You. No light but this can end our evil dreams. No
W2:333.2  and light the way for our return to You. No light but this can end  our evil dreams. No light but this can save the world. For this alone
W2:340.2  Be glad! There is no room for anything but joy and thanks today.  Our Father has redeemed His Son this day! Not one of us but will be
W2:341.2 Let us not then attack  our sinlessness. For it contains the Word of God to us, and in its
W2:348.2  everything that He would have us do. And only that we choose to be  our will, as well as His.
W2:349.2  Our Father knows our needs. He gives us grace to meet them all. And
W2:349.2 Our Father knows  our needs. He gives us grace to meet them all. And so we trust in Him

W2:FL.1  Our final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. We use
W2:FL.1  as free of words as possible. We use them but at the beginning of  our practicing and only to remind us that we seek to go beyond them.
W2:FL.1  to go beyond them. Let us turn to Him Who leads the way and makes  our footsteps sure. To Him we leave these lessons, as to Him we give
W2:FL.1  our footsteps sure. To Him we leave these lessons, as to Him we give  our lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the belief in
W2:FL.2  this way that truth points out to us. And let us be the leaders of  our many brothers who are seeking for the way but find it not.
W2:FL.3 And to this purpose let us dedicate  our minds, directing all our thoughts to serve the function of
W2:FL.3 And to this purpose let us dedicate our minds, directing all  our thoughts to serve the function of salvation. Unto us the aim is
W2:FL.3  God has given us. It is His ending to the dream we seek, and not  our own. For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as
W2:FL.4 It is  our function to remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His
W2:FL.4  given us to be His own completion in reality. So let us not forget  our goal is shared. For it is that remembrance which contains the
W2:FL.4  way to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive  our brother who can offer this to us? He is the way, the truth, and
W2:FL.4  show the way to us. In him resides salvation, offered us through  our forgiveness given unto him.
W2:FL.5 We will not end this year without the gift  our Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven now. And we are
W2:E.5  to Him for guidance and for peace and right direction. Joy attends  our way. For we go homeward to an open door which God has held

W1:138.5  the goals we seek to teach within the framework of this course.  Ours are teaching goals to be attained through learning how to reach
W1:163.9  to be like You and part of You forever. We accept Your thoughts as  ours, and our will is one with Yours eternally. Amen.
W1:170.14  You. No cruelty abides in us for there is none in You. Your peace is  ours. And we bless the world with what we have received from You

W1:200.11  we seek no idols. Peace cannot be found in them. The peace of God is  ours, and only this will we accept and want. Peace be to us today.
W2:269.2  We share one vision as we look upon the face of Him Whose Self is  ours. We are one because of Him Who is the Son of God, of Him Who is

Tx:20.26  are we one, looking with perfect gentleness upon each other and on  ourselves. Here all thoughts of any separation between us become
W1:64.5  to be happy or not. Let us remember this today. Let us remind  ourselves of it in the morning and again at night and all through the
W1:72.10  natural state. To recognize the light of truth in us is to recognize  ourselves as we are. To see our Self as separate from the body is to
W1:76.12  and understood there are no laws but God's. Then we will tell  ourselves as a dedication with which the practice period concludes:
W1:76.14  an hour, as well as in response to any temptation to experience  ourselves as subject to other laws throughout the day. It is our
W1:77.3  Today, however, we will also make sure that we will not content  ourselves with less.
W1:78.4 Today we will attempt to see God's Son. We will not let  ourselves be blind to him; we will not look upon our grievances. So
W1:91.4  great this strength, your doubts would vanish. Today we will devote  ourselves to the attempt to let you feel this strength. When you have
W1:95.9  particularly for the next week or so, to be willing to forgive  ourselves for our lapses in diligence and our failures to follow the
W1:98.1  between the two but take a firm position with the one. We dedicate  ourselves to truth today and to salvation as God planned it be. We
W1:98.3  we may share their certainty and thus increase it by accepting it  ourselves.
W1:98.4  they have come to make their choice again. We do not choose but for  ourselves today.
W1:100.5 We will not let  ourselves be sad today. For if we do, we fail to take the part that
W1:100.7  on you and sees His message in your happy face. We will prepare  ourselves for this today in our five minute practice periods by
W1:103.3 This basic error we will try again to bring to truth today and teach  ourselves:
W1:104.8  joy and peace belong to us as His eternal gifts. We will not let  ourselves lose sight of them between the times we come to seek for
W1:109.11  rest. And we remind them of their resting place each time we tell  ourselves,
W1:124.5  them to life. All this we see because we saw it first within  ourselves.
W1:124.7  we would keep the gifts our Father gave. Today we would experience  ourselves at one with Him, so that the world may share our
W1:125.3  and without all judgment of His holy Word. We will not judge  ourselves today, for what we are cannot be judged. We stand apart
W1:139.1 Here is the end of choice. For here we come to a decision to accept  ourselves as God created us. And what is choice except uncertainty of
W1:140.8  our Father placed it there for us. It is not further from us than  ourselves. It is as near to us as our own thoughts—so close it is
W1:153.19 Today our theme is our defenselessness. We clothe  ourselves in it as we prepare to meet the day. We rise up strong in
W1:153.19  as we remember that His strength abides in us. We will remind  ourselves that He remains beside us through the day and never leaves
W1:154.1  humble. We have gone beyond such foolishness. We cannot judge  ourselves, nor need we do so. These are but attempts to hold decision
W1:154.15  Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed our minds about  ourselves and what our function is. For as we prove that we accept no
W1:158.11  today. And by the holy gifts we give, Christ's vision looks upon  ourselves as well.
W1:165.7  between Him and your certainty of Him. We count on God and not upon  ourselves to give us certainty. And in His Name we practice as His
W1:181.9  This will become the only thing we see reflected in the world and in  ourselves.
W1:186.8  illusions rest upon the weird belief that we can make another for  ourselves. Our self-made roles are shifting, and they seem to change
W1:193.15  as we practice, let us think about all things we saved to settle by  ourselves and kept apart from healing. Let us give them all to Him
W1:195.5  and the path of death. All these go with you. Let us not compare  ourselves with them, for thus we split them off in our awareness from
W2:I.3  times of rest and calm our minds at need. Yet we will not content  ourselves with simple practicing in the remaining holy instants which
W2:239.1 Let not the truth about  ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be
W2:239.2  in this light, and one with You, at peace with all creation and  ourselves.
W2:251.2 And for that peace, our Father, we give thanks. What we denied  ourselves You have restored, and only that is what we really want.
W2:262.2 We who are one would recognize this day the truth about  ourselves. We would come home and rest in unity. For there is peace,
W2:272.2  call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn aside and ask  ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams when
W2:305.2  judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from our judgment on  ourselves.
W2:350.1 What we forgive becomes a part of us as we perceive  ourselves. The Son of God incorporates all things within himself as

Tx:1.29  The purpose of my part in the Atonement is the canceling  out of all lacks of love which men could not otherwise correct. The
Tx:1.50  following up to you. “Lead us not into temptation” means “guide us  out of our own errors.” “Take up thy cross and follow me” means,
Tx:1.64  toward both. The way to perceive for Golden Rule behavior is to look  out from the perception of your own holiness and perceive the
Tx:1.71  a miraculous state of mind. By being one, this state of mind goes  out to anyone, even without the awareness of the miracle worker
Tx:1.99 In sorting  out the false from the true, the miracle proceeds along the following
Tx:1.100 If perfect love casts  out fear, and if fear exists, then there is not perfect love. But
Tx:1.104  of perceptual distortion because it induces, rather than straightens  out, the basic level confusion which underlies the perception of all
Tx:2.2 Project (verb): to extend forward or  out. Project (noun): a plan in the mind. World: a natural grand
Tx:2.23 False projection arises  out of false denial, not out of its proper use. My own role in the
Tx:2.23 False projection arises out of false denial, not  out of its proper use. My own role in the Atonement is one of true
Tx:2.79 In both cases, the will and the behavior are  out of accord, resulting in a situation in which you are doing what
Tx:2.98  because he himself created it. His belief in it seems to render it  out of his control by definition. Yet any attempt to resolve the
Tx:2.108  by man with my help. It is a final healing rather than a meting  out of punishment, however much man may think that punishment is
Tx:2.109  but continue. The first step toward freedom must entail a sorting  out of the false from the true. This is a process of division only in
Tx:3.12 This particularly unfortunate interpretation, which arose  out of the combined misprojections of a large number of my would-be
Tx:3.16  errors including the belief that God rejected man and forced him  out of the Garden of Eden. It is also responsible for the fact that
Tx:3.29  all error. This means that if you perceive truly, you are canceling  out misperceptions in yourself and in others simultaneously. Because
Tx:3.30  with cognition is because you must get your perceptions straightened  out before you can know anything. To know is to be certain.
Tx:3.41  is uncertain by definition. It has to be in conflict because it is  out of accord with itself.
Tx:3.44  only to know. Afterwards it willed ambiguously, and the only way  out of ambiguity is clear perception. The mind returns to its proper
Tx:3.48  deal with unwilling error because it does not will to be blocked  out. I was a man who remembered the Soul and its knowledge, and as a
Tx:3.52  have been greatly confused. When you make something, you make it  out of a sense of lack or need. Anything that is made is made for a
Tx:3.61  this before in terms of the selectivity of perception, pointing  out that evaluation is its obvious prerequisite.
Tx:3.62  only the positive aspects of what is judged, whether it be in or  out of the self. However, what has been perceived and rejected—or
Tx:4.8  its maker can be misguided but cannot make the totally lifeless  out of the life-given. The Soul need not be taught, but the ego must.
Tx:4.32  beyond its grasp and charity becomes impossible. The ego never gives  out of abundance, because it was made as a substitute for it. That is
Tx:4.45  but also reinterprets the data. However, as Freud correctly pointed  out, what you have repressed can retain a very active life beyond
Tx:4.49  what you have made, and what you made does not love you. Being made  out of the denial of the Father, the ego has no allegiance to its own
Tx:4.75  tangential questions, it hopes to hide the real question and keep it  out of mind. The ego's characteristic busyness with non-essentials is
Tx:4.89  and always approves my Atonement decisions because my will is never  out of accord with His. I have told you before that I am in charge of
Tx:4.100  Being and its experience of His Son's experience. The constant going  out of His love is blocked when His channels are closed, and He is
Tx:4.102  because they are like Him, and they can rejoice together. God goes  out to them and through them, and there is great joy throughout the
Tx:5.3  of your brothers anywhere. You should want to bless them in return  out of gratitude. You do not have to know them individually or they
Tx:5.5  part of the Sonship to rejoice with them and lets God Himself go  out into them and through them. Only the healed mind can experience
Tx:5.46  Atonement, which I have repeatedly asked you to do, is always a way  out of fear. This does not mean that you can safely fail to
Tx:5.50 You cannot cancel  out your past errors alone. They will not disappear from your mind
Tx:5.90 Do you really believe you can make a voice that can drown  out His? Do you really believe that you can devise a thought system
Tx:5.93 But the time is now. You have not been asked to work  out the plan of salvation yourselves because, as I told you before,
Tx:6.15  which I must teach as I learned, is that no perception which is  out of accord with the judgment of the Holy Spirit can be justified.
Tx:6.19  Their own imperfect love made them vulnerable to projection, and  out of their own fear they spoke of the “wrath of God” as His
Tx:6.23  motivate it. The crucifixion was a complex of behaviors arising  out of clearly opposed thought systems. As such, it [is] the perfect
Tx:6.26  you try to keep the fact that you must have attacked yourself first  out of awareness and thus imagine that you have made yourself safe.
Tx:6.53  you can develop your abilities to the point where they can get you  out of it. You have a Guide to how to develop them, but you have no
Tx:6.56  the peace of God, but it could shatter yours. God did not blot it  out, because to eradicate it would be to attack it. Being questioned,
Tx:6.75 The way  out of conflict between two opposing thought systems is clearly to
Tx:6.79  affirmation of what you want. This, then, is a step in the direction  out of conflict since it means that alternatives have been considered
Tx:6.82  or you would share it. In your mind, and your mind only, He sorts  out the true from the false and teaches you to judge every thought
Tx:6.82  is partly in accord with truth, He accepts and purifies. But what is  out of accord entirely, He rejects by judging against. This is how He
Tx:6.95  you must now turn your effort against it. Only this can cancel  out the need for effort and call upon the being which you both have
Tx:7.34  perception does. Properly perceived, it can be used as a way  out of conflict, as all proper perception can.
Tx:7.36  in accord with the laws of God, even in a state of mind which is  out of accord with His. The strength of right perception is so great
Tx:7.46  Since that is His meaning, it is also yours. Your meaning cannot be  out of accord with His because your whole meaning, and your only
Tx:7.46  and your only meaning, comes from His and is like His. God cannot be  out of accord with Himself, and you cannot be out of accord with Him.
Tx:7.46  His. God cannot be out of accord with Himself, and you cannot be  out of accord with Him. You cannot separate your self from your
Tx:7.49  One way shows you an image, or better, an idol which you may worship  out of fear but which you will never love. The other shows you only

Tx:7.74  them, and they will have no life for you, because you have put them  out of your mind. While you include them in it, you are giving life
Tx:7.79  that your brothers, who are as incapable of this as you are, are  out to take God from you. Whenever a brother attacks another, this is
Tx:7.80  Him. The peace of God is understanding this. There is only one way  out of the world's thinking, just as there was only one way into it.
Tx:7.85  it away. Giving it is how you keep it. The belief that by giving it  out you have excluded it from within is a complete distortion of the
Tx:7.86  another without perpetuating it about yourself. There is no way  out of this, because it is impossible to fragment the mind.
Tx:7.105  seem to be. The whole separation lies in this fallacy. The only way  out of the fallacy is to decide that you do not have to decide
Tx:7.105  teach you how to distinguish between pain and joy and will lead you  out of the confusion which you have made. There is no confusion in
Tx:7.107  and is therefore natural. The world goes against your nature, being  out of accord with God's laws. The world perceives orders of
Tx:7.108  state of every Son of God. When he is not in a state of grace, he is  out of his natural environment and does not function well. Everything
Tx:7.110  knows only light. Its own radiance shines all around it and extends  out into the darkness of other minds, transforming them into majesty.
Tx:7.111  yourselves not to see it, and this has been very difficult for you.  Out of your natural environment, you may well ask, “What is truth?”
Tx:8.6  opposed ideas, it cannot be integrated. If it is carried  out by these two teachers simultaneously, each one merely interferes
Tx:8.10  is what you are. The lesson is that your will and God's cannot be  out of accord, because they are one. This is the undoing of

Tx:8.76  data which are true. There is no point in trying to make sense  out of meaningless data. Any way you handle them results in nothing.
Tx:8.82  fear of awakening. They are attempts to reinforce unconsciousness  out of fear of consciousness. This is a pathetic way of trying not to
Tx:8.85  to make mindless is impossible since it would mean to make nothing  out of what God created. The ego despises weakness, even though it
Tx:8.93  help you. When we said that the Holy Spirit's function is to sort  out the true from the false in your unconscious, we meant that He has
Tx:9.1  no sense at all. To the ego, it is kind and right and good to point  out errors and “correct” them. This makes perfect sense to the ego,
Tx:9.3 If you point  out the errors of your brother's ego, you must be seeing through
Tx:9.14  are totally non-existent. By steadily and consistently canceling  out all its effects everywhere and in all respects, He teaches that
Tx:9.26  situation” to which the ego always leads. It can be helpful to point  out to a patient where he is heading, but the point is lost unless he
Tx:9.42  ego will begin to attack your motives as soon as they become clearly  out of accord with its perception of you. This is when it will shift
Tx:9.52  it is a form of attack, but your grandeur is of God, Who created it  out of His Love. From your grandeur you can only bless, because your
Tx:9.85  you think you see him, he will disappear into the nothingness  out of which he was made.
Tx:9.87  have removed part of your mind from God's Will, and this means it is  out of control. To be out of control is to be out of reason, and the
Tx:9.87  mind from God's Will, and this means it is out of control. To be  out of control is to be out of reason, and the mind does become
Tx:9.87  and this means it is out of control. To be out of control is to be  out of reason, and the mind does become unreasonable without reason.
Tx:9.95  This is the offering which your god demands because, having made him  out of your insanity, he is an insane idea. He has many forms, but
Tx:9.96  Will. The “attack on God” made His Son think he was fatherless, and  out of his depression, he made the god of depression. This was his
Tx:9.103  Out of your gifts to Him, the Kingdom will be restored to His Son.
Tx:10.2  the only source of perceived conflict, because the ego was made  out of the wish of God's Son to father Him. The ego, then, is nothing
Tx:10.3  Open the dark cornerstone of terror on which it rests and bring it  out into the light. There you will see that it rests on
Tx:10.25  mine,” you will see such beauty that you will know it is not of you.  Out of your joy you will create beauty in His name, for your joy
Tx:10.26  light and in light. The Great Light always surrounds you and shines  out from you. How can you see the dark companions in a light such as
Tx:10.27  spark in you is part of a light so great that it can sweep you  out of all darkness forever. For your Father is your Creator, and you
Tx:10.44  is merely to recognize that their source is not natural, being  out of accord with your true nature. We once said that to will
Tx:10.53  comes only through acceptance, for to analyze means to separate  out. The attempt to understand totality by breaking it up is clearly
Tx:10.73  known. The real world is all that the Holy Spirit has saved for you  out of what you have made, and to perceive only this is salvation
Tx:11.11  emotions of which you are capable. One is false, for it was made  out of denial, and denial depends on the real belief in what is
Tx:11.22  it not. Yet your Redeemer liveth and abideth in you in the peace  out of which He was created. Would you not exchange this awareness
Tx:11.32  God gave you the real world in exchange for the one you made  out of your split mind, and which is the symbol of death. For if you
Tx:11.33  senseless “laws,” and without meaning of any kind. For it was made  out of what you do not want, projected from your mind because you
Tx:11.35  and His Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you will look  out in peace and behold the world truly. Yet to find the place, you
Tx:11.36  as, “Seek and do not find.” This is the one promise the ego holds  out to you and the one promise it will keep. For the ego pursues its
Tx:11.45  this as reinforcement. The only place where you can cancel  out all reinforcement is in yourself. For you are always the first
Tx:11.58  In perfect peace He waits for you at His Father's altar, holding  out the Father's love to you in the quiet light of the Holy Spirit's
Tx:11.65  For you will believe in what you manifest, and as you look  out, so will you see in. Two ways of looking at the world are in your
Tx:11.67  of mind. Perception is projection, and you look in before you look  out. As you look in you choose the guide for seeing, and then you
Tx:11.67  As you look in you choose the guide for seeing, and then you look  out and behold his witnesses. This is why you find what you seek.
Tx:11.76  deathless in yourself, and you will see only the eternal as you look  out upon a world that cannot die.
Tx:11.87  of you, had you not believed that it was the Father Who drove him  out of paradise. For in that belief, the knowledge of the Father was
Tx:11.94  the condition of his Being, which is his perfect blamelessness.  Out of love he was created, and in love he abides. Goodness and mercy
Tx:12.13  then, seems to be attacking your fortress, for you would shut  out God, and He does not will to be excluded.
Tx:12.23  here and bury you here, leaving you no inheritance except the dust  out of which it thinks you were made. As long as it is reasonably
Tx:12.27  perceiving them as they are. And you will receive messages from them  out of your own past because, by making it real in the present, you
Tx:12.49  his past is yours, you share in this release. Let no dark cloud  out of your past obscure him from you, for truth lies only in the
Tx:12.52 Now is the time of salvation, for now is the release from time. Reach  out to all your brothers and touch them with the touch of Christ. In
Tx:12.55  join with theirs in power so compelling that it will draw the others  out of darkness as you look on them.
Tx:12.56  unto Christ is following the laws of love of your free will and  out of quiet recognition of the truth in them. The attraction of
Tx:12.56  witnesses to the love you gave them, and it is they who hold it  out to you. In sleep you are alone, and your awareness is narrowed to
Tx:12.63  see it, for whenever judgment enters, reality has slipped away. The  out of mind is out of sight because what is denied is there but is
Tx:12.63  judgment enters, reality has slipped away. The out of mind is  out of sight because what is denied is there but is not recognized.
Tx:12.63  for you to leave the past behind and enter into the world He holds  out to you in love.
Tx:12.64  loves what he loves not and following not the road that love points  out. Love leads so gladly! And as you follow Him, you will rejoice
Tx:13.30  you love them all and equally. Love is not special. If you single  out part of the Sonship for your love, you are imposing guilt on all
Tx:13.42  God would share with you is known. Yet His channels of reaching  out cannot be wholly closed and separated from Him. Peace will be
Tx:13.56  forms and feelings and actions and reactions that you have woven  out of it. Nothing is so alien to you as the simple truth, and
Tx:13.73  Every decision is made for the whole Sonship, directed in and  out and influencing a constellation larger than anything you ever
Tx:13.79  fear. Be quiet in your faith in Him Who loves you and would lead you  out of insanity. Madness may be your choice, but not your reality.
Tx:13.90  that God is right and you are wrong about yourself. He created you  out of Himself but still within Him. He knows what you are. Remember
Tx:13.90  Love. Fail not in your function of loving in a loveless place made  out of darkness and deceit, for thus are darkness and deceit undone.
Tx:14.15  that makes it holy. Come gladly to the holy circle, and look  out in peace on all who think they are outside. Cast no one out, for
Tx:14.15  and look out in peace on all who think they are outside. Cast no one  out, for this is what he seeks, along with you. Come, let us join him
Tx:14.17  over it carefully, and you who made these guardians of illusion  out of nothing are now afraid of them.
Tx:14.22  not attempt to communicate the meaningless. But He will separate  out all that has meaning, dropping off the rest and offering your
Tx:14.25 The search for truth is but the honest searching  out of everything that interferes with truth. Truth is. It can be
Tx:14.36  one link which joins them all together, holding them in the oneness  out of which creation happens.
Tx:14.43  and the message which shines forth from what the mirror holds  out for everyone to see no one can fail to understand. It is the
Tx:14.46  nearer or farther. But eternity itself is beyond all time. Reach  out of time and touch it, with the help of its reflection in you. And
Tx:14.49  of Heaven last but a moment and grow dim as darkness blots them  out. Where there was light, darkness removes it in an instant, and
Tx:15.3  be the conviction that it can pursue you beyond the grave. And  out of its unwillingness for you to find peace even in the death it
Tx:15.9  clear and separated from the past, without its shadow reaching  out into the future. Each instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in
Tx:15.10  and think of it as all there is of time. Nothing can reach you here  out of the past, and it is here that you are completely absolved,
Tx:15.18  be. All that you have, you have forever. The blessed instant reaches  out to encompass time, as God extends Himself to encompass you. You
Tx:15.21 Start now to practice your little part in separating  out the holy instant. You will receive very specific instructions as
Tx:15.21  very specific instructions as you go along. To learn to separate  out this single second and begin to experience it as timeless, is to
Tx:15.22  it. Everything in this world is little because it is a world made  out of littleness in the strange belief that littleness can content
Tx:15.46  relationships and thus make them unreal. If you seek to separate  out certain aspects of the totality and look to them to meet your
Tx:15.53  The holy instant parallels His knowing by bringing all perception  out of the past, thus removing the frame of reference you have built
Tx:15.55  you can judge the Self of God? God has created it beyond judgment  out of His need to extend His Love. With love in you, you have no
Tx:15.68  on an endless, unrewarding chain of special relationships, forged  out of anger and dedicated to but one insane belief—that the more
Tx:15.69  make of them, you do not know, but you will become willing to find  out if you are willing, first, to perceive what you have made of them.
Tx:15.104  seems fearful, for you endowed it with fear and tried to cast it  out though it was part of you. Who can perceive part of himself as
Tx:15.104  the perceived conflict of Heaven and hell in him by casting Heaven  out and giving it the attributes of hell without experiencing himself
Tx:16.2  to certain types of problems and in certain people. These it selects  out and joins with. And it never joins except to strengthen itself.
Tx:16.30  will not offset it but will merely drive it underground and  out of sight. It is essential to bring it into sight and to make no
Tx:16.31 The symbols of hate against the symbols of love play  out a conflict which does not exist. For symbols stand for something
Tx:16.37 Heaven waits silently, and your creations are holding  out their hands to help you cross and welcome them. For it is they
Tx:16.51  lies only in the terrible attraction of guilt, which the ego holds  out to those who place their faith in littleness. The conviction of
Tx:16.52  God must die so you can live. And it is this theme which is acted  out in the special relationship. Through the death of your self, you
Tx:16.64  On this side, everything you see is grossly distorted and completely  out of perspective. What is little and insignificant is magnified,
Tx:16.69  by His perfect faith, and it is His faith you share with Him there.  Out of your recognition of your unwillingness for your release, His
Tx:16.72  it brings to the special relationships it chooses in which to act  out its hate are fantasies of your destruction. For the ego holds the
Tx:16.73  not contain the dream of retribution for the past. Would you act  out the dream or let it go?
Tx:16.74 In the special relationship, it does not seem to be an acting  out of vengeance which you seek. And even when the hatred and the
Tx:16.74  to reach awareness is that the special relationship is the acting  out of vengeance on yourself. But what else could it be? In seeking
Tx:17.13  Meet His patience with your impatience at delay in meeting Him. Go  out in gladness to meet with your Redeemer and walk with him in trust
Tx:17.13  in gladness to meet with your Redeemer and walk with him in trust  out of this world and into the real world of beauty and forgiveness.
Tx:17.19  the one with whom the union was sought. For it was formed to get him  out of it and join with fantasies in uninterrupted “bliss.” How can
Tx:17.39  each framed perfectly for what they represent. One is framed to be  out of focus and not seen. The other is framed for perfect clarity.
Tx:17.39  of darkness and of death grows less convincing as you search it  out amid its wrappings. As each senseless stone which seems to shine
Tx:17.45  The reason is quite clear. For the relationship as it is, is  out of line with its own goal and clearly unsuited to the purpose
Tx:17.46  goal. Until this happy solution is seen and accepted as the only way  out of the conflict, the relationship seems to be severely strained.
Tx:17.60  this approach has brought you closer to the Holy Spirit's sorting  out of truth and falsity. The true becomes what can be used to meet
Tx:18.3  many forms, and each seems to require a different form of acting  out for satisfaction. While this appears to introduce quite variable
Tx:18.3  for either acceptance or rejection of suitability for acting  out a special form of fear.
Tx:18.5  you the enormity of the original error, which seemed to cast you  out of Heaven, to shatter knowledge into meaningless bits of
Tx:18.7 The truth will save you. It has not left you to go  out into the mad world and so depart from you. Inward is sanity;
Tx:18.12  peace in those who heard? Return with me to Heaven, walking together  out of this world and through another to the loveliness and joy the
Tx:18.13  world contains. It is the only one which has no limits and reaches  out to every broken fragment of the Sonship with healing and uniting
Tx:18.16  disturbing. You recognize that what you see on waking is blotted  out in dreams. Yet on awakening, you do not expect it to be gone. In
Tx:18.17  a world which you prefer is terrifying. Your attempts to blot  out reality are very fearful, but this you are not willing to accept.

Tx:18.54  and blaming it for what you wished it to do. It is impossible to act  out fantasies. For it is still the fantasies you want, and they have

Tx:18.58 You can stretch  out your hand and reach to Heaven. You whose hands are joined have
Tx:18.62  yourself in peace. Not through destruction, not through a “breaking  out,” but merely by a quiet “melting in.” For peace will join you
Tx:18.72  can you join Him there. Limits on love will always seem to shut Him  out and to keep you apart from Him. The body is a tiny fence around a
Tx:18.79  And under its beneficence, your little garden will expand and reach  out to everyone who thirsts for living water but has grown too weary
Tx:18.80 Go  out and find them, for they bring your Self with them. And lead them

Tx:19.25  Fear can become so acute that the sin is denied the acting  out, but while the guilt remains attractive the mind will suffer and
Tx:19.25  it. And only an avenger with a mind unlike your own could stamp it  out through fear.
Tx:19.40  its home, its tranquil dwelling-place from which it gently reaches  out but never leaving you. If you would make it homeless, how can it
Tx:19.46  little insane wish to get rid of Him Who you invited in and push Him  out must produce conflict. As you look upon the world, this little
Tx:19.50  and gentleness. The messengers of fear are harshly ordered to seek  out guilt and cherish every scrap of evil and of sin which they can
Tx:19.63 Peace is extended from you only to the eternal, and it reaches  out from the eternal in you. It flows across all else. The second
Tx:19.74  this is not so, but as the “enemy” of peace, it urges you to send  out all your messages of hate and free yourself. And to convince you
Tx:19.77  no hold at all except on those who are attracted to it and seek it  out. And so it is with death. Made by the ego, its dark shadow falls
Tx:19.87  it holds in perfect safety every miracle you will perform, held  out to you. The miracle of life is ageless, born in time but
Tx:19.92  made with the ego to keep what lies beyond the veil forever blotted  out and unremembered. Here is your promise never to allow union to
Tx:19.92  unremembered. Here is your promise never to allow union to call you  out of separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of God seems
Tx:19.103  sin upon Him to hide His loveliness. Yet still He holds forgiveness  out to you to share His holiness. This “enemy,” this “stranger” still
Tx:20.6  given and received. For bodies can neither offer nor accept; hold  out nor take. Only the mind can value, and only the mind decides on
Tx:20.19  to a world made fearful by their adjustments. And they look  out in sorrow from what is sad within and see the sadness there.
Tx:20.24  Son of God and give him thanks for all the happiness which he held  out to you? Did you recognize each other as the eternal gift of God
Tx:20.65  about him will seem real there. You closed your eyes to shut him  out. Such was your purpose, and while this purpose seems to have any
Tx:20.74  do you want the purpose which they serve? This world seems to hold  out many purposes, each different and with different values. Yet they
Tx:20.76  And meaning always looks within to find itself and then looks  out. All meaning that you give the world outside must thus reflect
Tx:21.38  The intention is in the mind, which tries to use the body to carry  out the means for sin in which the mind believes. Thus is the joining
Tx:21.47  has come to earth at last, from which the ego's rule has kept it  out so long. Heaven has come because it found a home in your
Tx:21.49 Perception selects and makes the world you see. It literally picks it  out as the mind directs. The laws of size and shape and brightness
Tx:21.49  prefer to overlook. The still small Voice for God is not drowned  out by all the ego's raucous screams and senseless ravings to those
Tx:21.56  need of it. Knowledge does not depend on it, and madness keeps it  out.
Tx:21.62 Madness is an attack on reason that drives it  out of mind and takes its place. Reason does not attack but takes the
Tx:21.66  from reason. What madness would conceal, the Holy Spirit still holds  out for everyone to look upon with gladness.
Tx:21.68 The Son of God is always blessed as one. And as his gratitude goes  out to you who blessed him, reason will tell you that it cannot be
Tx:21.72  treacherous because they have no need to dream of power and to act  out their dream. How would an army act in dreams? Any way at all. It
Tx:21.88  no one fails to ask for his desire of something he believes holds  out some promise of the power of giving it. He may be wrong in what
Tx:22.4  It must extend, as you extended when you joined. It must reach  out beyond itself, as you reached out beyond the body to let
Tx:22.4  when you joined. It must reach out beyond itself, as you reached  out beyond the body to let yourselves be joined. And now the sameness
Tx:22.17  is possible in the dark world of misery is to select some aspects  out of it, see them as different, and define the difference as joy.
Tx:22.19  is faith in sin if the belief excludes one living thing and holds it  out apart from its forgiveness.
Tx:22.44  Standing before the veil, it still seems difficult. But hold  out your joined hands and touch this heavy-seeming block, and you
Tx:22.46  be defended against and sacrificed. For sin is carved into a block  out of your peace and laid between you and its return. Yet how can
Tx:22.47  you would defend against. Yet it remains impossible to keep love  out. God rests with you in quiet, undefended and wholly undefending,
Tx:22.48  its feeble squeaks that tell of its omnipotence and would drown  out the hymn of praise to its Creator which every heart throughout
Tx:23.12  is insane, and they remain part of what made them. Madness holds  out no menace to reality and has no influence upon it. Illusions
Tx:23.15  be remembered. Yet no illusion can invade His home and drive Him  out of what He loves forever. And what He loves must be forever quiet
Tx:23.19  never understood. Chaotic laws are hardly meaningful and therefore  out of reason's sphere. Yet they appear to constitute an obstacle to
Tx:23.44  It can be kept shining before your vision, forever clear and never  out of sight if you defend it not.
Tx:24.14  impossible even to imagine without this base. For sin arose from it  out of nothingness; an evil flower with no roots at all. Here is the
Tx:24.18  Here stands your brother with the key to Heaven in his hand held  out to you. Let not the dream of specialness remain between you. What
Tx:24.33  from hell. Look on the print of nails upon his hands that he holds  out for your forgiveness. God asks your mercy on His Son and on
Tx:24.41  he picked a thread from here, a scrap from there, and wove a picture  out of nothing. For the parts do not belong together, and the whole
Tx:24.43  gleams that spark an instant from the fireflies of sin and then go  out, to lead the other to a nameless precipice and hurl him over it.
Tx:24.46  the sound of battle and of death. He reaches through them, holding  out His hand that everyone may bless all living things and see their
Tx:24.61  wills is possible, and there is no alternative for Him to see.  Out of His lack of conflict comes your peace. And from His purpose
Tx:24.66  and rests in light as safely as itself. Nor will that light go  out when it is gone. Its holy purpose gave it immortality, setting
Tx:25.27  unchanged beyond the pitiful attempts of specialness to put it  out of mind where it must be and light the body up instead of it. The
Tx:25.27  For he has come with Heaven's Help within him ready to lead him  out of darkness into light at any time.
Tx:25.42  you give to him is given you, and you will walk the way you pointed  out to him because it is your judgment on yourself.
Tx:25.72  cannot accept it for yourself. It is His special function to hold  out to you the gifts the innocent deserve. And every one that you
Tx:25.79  given to God's Son are kept for him and offered anyone who but holds  out his hand in willingness they be received. Nor is the treasure
Tx:25.79  they be received. Nor is the treasure less as it is given  out. Each gift [received] but adds to the supply. For God is fair. He

Tx:26.7  no more be sacrificed by you than can the light in you be blotted  out because he sees it not. You who would make a sacrifice of life
Tx:26.11  a sacrifice that you might gain. And when the situation is worked  out so no one loses, is the problem gone, because it was an error in

Tx:26.37  a change in where he really is? The unforgiven is a voice that calls  out from a past forever more gone by. And everything which points to
Tx:26.49  seem to be apart from them. Ideas are of the mind. What is projected  out and seems to be external to the mind is not outside at all but an
Tx:26.70  still obscured that is the source of fear. Salvation would wipe  out the space you see between you still and let you instantly become
Tx:26.72  fear have overlooked but which is all there is to time. The working  out of all correction takes no time at all.
Tx:26.73 Yet the acceptance of the working  out can seem to take forever. The change of purpose the Holy Spirit
Tx:27.30  meaningless. He represents a double thought, where half is canceled  out by the remaining half. Yet even this is quickly contradicted by
Tx:27.30  half. Yet even this is quickly contradicted by the half it canceled  out, and so they both are gone. And now he stands for nothing.
Tx:27.31  with power or to see as weak. The picture has been wholly canceled  out because it symbolized a contradiction which canceled out the
Tx:27.31  canceled out because it symbolized a contradiction which canceled  out the thought it represents. And thus the picture has no cause at
Tx:27.34  other half of what it represents remains unknown but is not canceled  out. And thus is God left free to take the final step Himself. [For
Tx:27.80  are you not the dreamer but the dream. And so you wander idly in and  out of places and events which it contrives. That this is all the
Tx:28.1 The miracle does nothing. All it does is to undo. And thus it cancels  out the interference to what has been done. It does not add, but

Tx:28.58 Sickness is anger taken  out upon the body, so that it will suffer pain. It is the obvious
Tx:29.45 The lingering illusion will impel him to seek  out a thousand idols and to seek beyond them for a thousand more. And
Tx:29.54  Him, alone in darkness. Yet the light is there. A cloud does not put  out the sun. No more a veil can banish what it seems to separate nor
Tx:29.56  does not restore the truth, the light the veil between has not put  out. It merely lifts the veil and lets the truth shine unencumbered,
Tx:29.64  you have accomplished and have done to make you sinful and put  out the light within you. Little children, it is there. You do but
Tx:30.1  these steps lead you from dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams and  out of pain and fear. They are not new to you, but they are more

Tx:30.88 Do not interpret  out of solitude, for what you see means nothing. It will shift in
Tx:31.33  conflicts with you, but you can choose which road will lead you  out of conflict and away from difficulties which concern you not. Yet

W1:73.1  you share with God. This is not the same as the ego's idle wishes,  out of which darkness and nothingness arise. The will you share with
W1:73.5  can be found without. Grievances darken your mind, and you look  out on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts

Tx:30.48  apart from you and in a world which your reality knows nothing of?  Outside you there is no eternal sky, no changeless star, and no
Tx:30.58  a place where hope of happiness can be fulfilled. And no one stands  outside this hope because the world has been united in belief the
Tx:30.60  could create a perfect Son and share His Fatherhood with him. No one  outside of Heaven knows how this can be, for understanding this is
Tx:30.77  the willingness to see him as he is. And do not keep a part of him  outside your willingness that he be healed. To heal is to make whole.

Tx:31.57  The concept of the self embraces all you look upon, and nothing is  outside of this perception. If you can be hurt by anything, you see a
W1:4.3  in the long-range purpose of learning to see the meaningless as  outside you and the meaningful within. It is also the beginning of
W1:10.3  the idea that the thoughts of which you are aware are meaningless,  outside rather than within, and then stressed their past rather than

W1:32.3  two or three times while looking around at the world you see as  outside yourself. Then close your eyes and look around your inner
W1:33.2  of shifting. Merely glance casually around the world you perceive as  outside yourself, then close your eyes and survey your inner thoughts
W1:44.2  you must recognize that light is within, not without. You do not see  outside yourself, nor is the equipment for seeing outside you. An
W1:44.2  You do not see outside yourself, nor is the equipment for seeing  outside you. An essential part of this equipment is the light that
W1:69.4  clouds. You can see only the clouds because you seem to be standing  outside the circle and quite apart from it.
W1:70.2  “cost” of accepting today's idea is this: it means that nothing  outside yourself can save you; nothing outside yourself can give you
W1:70.2  this: it means that nothing outside yourself can save you; nothing  outside yourself can give you peace. But it also means that nothing
W1:70.2  outside yourself can give you peace. But it also means that nothing  outside yourself can hurt you or disturb your peace or upset you in
W1:70.8  signifying your recognition that salvation comes from nothing  outside of you. You might put it this way:
W1:70.15 My salvation comes from me. Nothing  outside of me can hold me back. Within me is the world's salvation

W1:72.9  your peace of mind. You have seen yourself in a body and the truth  outside you, locked away from your awareness by the body's
W1:72.10  truth is in us, where it was placed by God. It is the body that is  outside us and is not our concern. To be without a body is to be in
W1:85.5  Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. I will not look for it  outside myself. It is not found outside and then brought in. But from
W1:85.5  left my mind. I will not look for it outside myself. It is not found  outside and then brought in. But from within me it will reach beyond,
W1:122.6 Here is the answer! Would you stand  outside while all of Heaven waits for you within? Forgive and be
W1:127.11  them throughout the day because we cannot leave a part of us  outside our love if we would know our Self. At least three times an
W1:169.12  could you finally attain to it forever while a part of you remains  outside, unknowing, unawakened, and in need of you as witness to the
W1:170.5  who make attack and must have first conceived of it. Yet you attack  outside yourself and separate your mind from him who is to be

W1:197.1 Here is the second step we take to free your mind from the belief in  outside force pitted against your own. You make attempts at kindness
W1:197.6  But learn to let forgiveness take away the sins you think you see  outside yourself, and you can never think the gifts of God are lent

Tx:6.33  of mind. You perceive from your mind and extend your perceptions  outward. Although perception of any kind is unnecessary, you made it,
Tx:6.36  He perceives only what is true in your mind and extends  outward only to what is true in other minds.

Tx:6.39  before, every idea begins in the mind of the thinker and extends  outward. Therefore, what extends from the mind is still in it, and

Tx:12.31  in time, and it closes over the present so that no gap in its  own continuity can occur. Its continuity, then, would keep you in
Tx:12.35  each other because they saw in them a shadow figure in their  own private world. And thus it is that you must attack yourself
Tx:12.35  for what you attack is not in others. Its only reality is in your  own mind, and by attacking others, you are literally attacking what
Tx:12.37  apart, where when it comes it is not recognized. If you see your  own hatred as your brother, you are not seeing him. Everyone draws
Tx:12.38  your madness, you overlook reality completely, and you see only your  own split mind everywhere you look. God calls you and you do not
Tx:12.38  God calls you and you do not hear, for you are preoccupied with your  own voice. And the vision of Christ is not in your sight, for you
Tx:12.41  insanity, believing you can make a private world and rule your  own perceptions. Yet for this, light must be excluded. Dreams
Tx:12.45  truly is to be aware of all reality through the awareness of your  own. But for this no illusions can rise to meet your sight, for all
Tx:12.48  continuity by breaking it into past, present, and future for your  own purposes. You would anticipate the future on the basis of your

Tx:20.9  another sight. Those who accept the Holy Spirit's purpose as their  own share also His vision. And what enables Him to see His purpose
Tx:20.29  It lies in him to overlook all your mistakes, and therein lies his  own salvation. And so it is with yours. [Salvation is a lesson in

Tx:24.72  and no encounter. One do you see outside yourself, your  own beloved son. The other rests within, His Father's Son, within
Tx:24.72  purpose. And what you see will serve that purpose well and prove its  own reality to you.
Tx:25.29  has much to offer to your peace and many chances to extend your  own forgiveness. Such its purpose is to those who want to see peace

Tx:25.39  in him His Call to you and answer by returning unto God what is His  own.
Tx:25.41  no sacrifice that he be saved, for by his freedom will you gain your  own. To let his function be fulfilled is but the means to let yours
Tx:25.42  to let His Will be done. In each of you, you see the picture of your  own belief in what the Will of God must be for you. In your
Tx:25.59  joy. Accept the function that has been assigned to you in God's  Own plan to show His Sons that hell and Heaven are different, not the
Tx:25.68 They must believe He shares their  own confusion and cannot avoid the vengeance that their own belief in
Tx:25.68  shares their own confusion and cannot avoid the vengeance that their  own belief in justice must entail. And so they fear the Holy Spirit
Tx:25.68  dead with lightning bolts torn from the “fires” of Heaven by God's  own angry hand. They do believe that Heaven is hell and are afraid of
Tx:25.72 In God's  own justice does He recognize all you deserve but understands as well
Tx:25.76  is not impartial and cannot fairly see another's rights because his  own have been obscured to him.
Tx:25.77  deceives, but it cannot replace God's justice with a version of its  own. For only love is just and can perceive what justice must accord
Tx:26.2  to keep itself complete. For if they joined, each one would lose its  own identity, and by their separation are their selves maintained.
Tx:26.3  rest must lose this little part, remaining incomplete to keep its  own identity intact. In this perception of yourself, the body's loss
Tx:26.9  justice? Could your function be a task apart and separate from His  Own?
Tx:26.16 Think then how great your  own release will be when you are willing to receive correction for
Tx:26.29  which was raised within the tiny spot that sin proclaimed to be its  own. And what was tiny then has soared into a magnitude of song in
Tx:26.37  fact in what is there to hear where he is now? And how much can his  own delusions about time and place affect a change in where he really
Tx:26.38  your ever-loving Father has ensured must come to you. And from your  own unfairness to yourself has He protected you. You cannot lose your
Tx:26.52  grounds for hell. If this were so, would Heaven be opposed by its  own opposite, as real as it. Then would God's Will be split in two
Tx:26.58  of God ask not too much but far too little. He would sacrifice his  own identity with everything to find a little treasure of his own.
Tx:26.58  his own identity with everything to find a little treasure of his  own. And this he cannot do without a sense of isolation, loss, and
Tx:26.66  belongs to each of them. No wishes lie between a brother and his  own. To get from one is to deprive them all. And yet to bless but one
Tx:26.77  to your call! And think how holy he must be when in him sleeps your  own salvation with his freedom joined! However much you wish he be
Tx:26.80  again, and Heaven's joy has been increased because what is its  own has been restored to it. The bloodied earth is cleansed, and the
Tx:26.81  has been withheld so long. For They have come to gather in Their  Own. What has been locked is opened; what was held apart from light
Tx:26.86  stands between Their shining innocence and your awareness it is your  own and equally belongs to every living thing along with you. God
Tx:26.88  your attack on him attempts to get? Is it not retribution for your  own attack upon the Son of God you seek? Is it not safer to believe
Tx:26.88  his innocence that someone else can take it from him, making it his  own.
Tx:27.2  your release from sacrifice is his made manifest and shown to be his  own. But every pain you suffer do you see as proof that he is guilty
Tx:27.2  the death you made for him. But in his innocence, you find your  own.
Tx:27.15  eyes. And thus he must have overlooked it and removed it from his  own. Forgiveness cannot be for one and not the other. Who forgives is
Tx:27.18  ancient calling of the Father to His Son, and of the Son unto his  own, will yet be the last trumpet that the world will ever hear.
Tx:27.21  whom their brother's sacrifice and pain are seen to represent their  own serenity. Their helplessness and weakness represent the grounds
Tx:27.24  you also know the Holy Spirit's mind and yours are one. And so your  own Identity is found. Yet must He work with what is given Him, and
Tx:27.25  become the central target for correction, lest your errors and his  own be seen as one. Yours are mistakes, but his are sins and not the
Tx:27.26 In this interpretation of correction, your  own mistakes you will not even see. The focus of correction has been
Tx:27.27  your Self from being made aware of any function other than Its  own. And thus is healing given both of you.
Tx:27.28  as Its only one. Here is the function given It conceived to be Its  own and not apart from that Its Giver keeps because it has been
Tx:27.35 A Power wholly limitless has come, not to destroy, but to receive Its  own. There is no choice of function anywhere. The choice you fear to
Tx:27.51  and will be brought to problems that you thought were not your  own. And it will also be apparent that your many different problems
Tx:27.58  what they represent has no effects. And this it proves because its  own effects have come to take their place. It matters not the name by
Tx:27.62  he knows not what he does, but what is done to him. Yet is his  own attack upon himself apparent still, for it is he who bears the
Tx:27.65  Vengeance must have a focus. Otherwise is the avenger's knife in his  own hand and pointed to himself. And he must see it in another's hand
Tx:27.67 The part you play in salvaging the world from condemnation is your  own escape. Forget not that the witness to the world of evil cannot

Tx:27.78  protect it, and collect more senseless things that it can call its  own. It looks about for special bodies which can share its dream.
Tx:27.83  your thoughts instead of you. It brings its vengeance, not your  own. It keeps you narrowly confined within a body, which it punishes
Tx:28.10 You who have sought to lay a judgment on your  own Creator cannot understand it is not He Who laid a judgment on His
Tx:28.10  quietness, see in the miracle a lesson in allowing Cause to have Its  own effects and doing nothing that would interfere.
Tx:28.11  an instant's stillness when the memory of God returns to them. Their  own remembering is quiet now, and what has come to take its place
Tx:28.13  God arises in the mind that has no fear to keep the memory away. Its  own remembering has gone. There is no past to keep its fearful image
Tx:28.13  in gentle sounds of love the Son of God remembers from before his  own remembering came in between the present and the past to shut them
Tx:28.20  sufferer. These are the happy dreams the miracle exchanges for your  own. It does not ask you make another—only that you see you made
Tx:28.22  to show him that his wishes have been done. Thus does he fear his  own attack but sees it at another's hands. As victim, he is suffering
Tx:28.22  suffering from its effects but not their cause. He authored not his  own attack, and he is innocent of what he caused. The miracle does
Tx:28.23  abuse because the motives he has given it have they adopted as their  own. And hate it for the vengeance it would offer them. It is their
Tx:28.30  your brother to be sick, for if he is, have you abandoned him to his  own dream by sharing it with him. He has not seen the cause of
Tx:28.41  you become a passive figure in his dream instead of dreamer of your  own. Identity in dreams is meaningless because the dreamer and the
Tx:28.42  His dreams are yours because you let them be. But if you took your  own away would he be free of them and of his own as well. Your dreams
Tx:28.42  But if you took your own away would he be free of them and of his  own as well. Your dreams are witnesses to his, and his attest the
Tx:28.49  the dream you share. And fearing it, you will not want to know your  own Identity because you think that it is fearful. And you will deny
Tx:28.56  its frailty and littleness. And you despise its acts but not your  own. It sees and acts for you. It hears your voice. And it is frail
Tx:28.57  body represents the gap between the little bit of mind you call your  own and all the rest of what is really yours. You hate it, yet you
Tx:28.63  this purpose it cannot be sick. It will not join a purpose not your  own, and you have chosen that it not be sick. All miracles are based
Tx:29.6  and everyone you meet and see in them a purpose not your  own.
Tx:29.13  and asks you now that you will look on them and take them for your  own. He needs your help in giving them to all who walk apart
Tx:29.34  his Father shines forever and to whom is all creation given as his  own. Because he has it is it given you, and where it lies in him,
Tx:29.40  to die, then die it must unless it does not take this purpose as its  own. Change is the only thing that can be made a blessing here, where
Tx:29.49  pursue them vainly in the dream because you want their power as your  own.
Tx:29.64  in which their toys are real, nor recognize their wishes are their  own.
Tx:29.65  and gives them to the toys instead. And their reality becomes his  own because they seem to save him from his thoughts. Yet do they keep
Tx:30.33  you but your will; He speaks for you. In His divinity is but your  own. And all He knows is but your knowledge, saved for you that you
Tx:30.37  you share. God turns to you to ask the world be saved, for by your  own salvation it is healed. And no one walks upon the earth but must
Tx:30.48  keep hidden what you are, not from the Mind of God, but from your  own. The star shines still; the sky has never changed. But you, the
Tx:30.52  looked upon as children's toys without a single meaning of their  own. See one in them, and you will see them all. See none in them,
Tx:30.61 The real world still falls short of this, for this is God's  own purpose—only His, and yet completely shared and perfectly
Tx:30.69  their awareness. Nor can they forget for long that it is but their  own.

Tx:31.9  as the ancient call to life and understood that it is but your  own. The Christ in you remembers God with all the certainty with
Tx:31.12  what things mean and what their purpose is. Let us remember not our  own ideas of what the world is for. We do not know. Let every image

Tx:31.20  his hand in anger but in love, for in his progress do you count your  own. And we go separately along the way unless you keep him safely by

Tx:31.28  purpose must be in the body, not the mind. The body must act on its  own and motivate itself. If you are sin, you lock the mind within the
Tx:31.42  how could you be made to travel on it, walking there without your  own reality at one with you? Forgive yourself your madness and forget
Tx:31.49  is a concept but a thought to which its maker gives a meaning of his  own? Concepts maintain the world. But they cannot be used to
Tx:31.55  share his guilt because you chose it for him in the image of your  own. While only he was treacherous before, now must you be condemned
Tx:31.57  more than this. And in your suffering of any kind, you see your  own concealed desire to kill.
Tx:31.58  self as learning goes along. Each one will show the changes in your  own relationships as your perception of yourself is changed. There
Tx:31.62  here have you established what you are, as flesh or Spirit in your  own belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape the body as
Tx:31.62  belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape the body as your  own reality, for you have chosen that you want it so. But choose the
Tx:31.78  vision—that he see his innocence in all he looks upon and sees his  own salvation everywhere. He holds no concept of himself between his

Tx:31.88  like Him are merely those who chose His strength instead of their  own weakness, seen apart from Him. They will redeem the world, for

W1:26.3  that you are vulnerable, their effect is to weaken you in your  own eyes. Thus they have attacked your perception of yourself. And
W1:26.4  that vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of your  own thoughts. Nothing except your thoughts can attack you. Nothing

W1:34.1  Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your  own thoughts and then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind

W1:38.6  want to vary this procedure and add some relevant thoughts of your  own. You might like, for example, to include thoughts such as:
W1:39.3  that your holiness is the salvation of the world. What about your  own salvation? You cannot give what you do not have. A savior must be
W1:39.3  to the salvation of the world. As you apply the exercises to your  own world, the whole world stands to benefit.
W1:39.4  end of hell. Your holiness is the salvation of the world and your  own. How could you to whom your holiness belongs be excluded from it?
W1:39.7  suitable subjects for today's exercises. It is imperative for your  own salvation that you see them differently. And it is your blessing
W1:41.5  the idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply into your  own mind, keeping it clear of any thoughts that might divert your

W1:45.6  you do so. After you have added some four or five thoughts of your  own, repeat the idea again, and tell yourself gently:
W1:47.1 If you are trusting your  own strength, you have every reason to be apprehensive, anxious, and

W1:47.7 The recognition of your  own frailty is a necessary step in the correction of your errors, but

W1:56.6 [30] God is in everything I see because God is in my mind. In my  own mind, behind all my insane thoughts of separation and attack, is
W1:59.3 [42] God is my strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my  own eyes to see today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful

W1:121.7  hope, but you become its hope. And as its hope, do you become your  own. The unforgiving mind must learn through your forgiveness that it
W1:121.8  you can learn today to take the key to happiness and use it on your  own behalf. We will devote ten minutes in the morning and at night

W1:135.7  what endowed the body with the right to serve you thus except your  own belief? It is your mind which gave the body all the functions
W1:135.12  plans which it receives through listening to Wisdom that is not its  own. It waits until it has been taught what should be done and then
W1:135.14  is not free to be a means of helping in a plan which far exceeds its  own protection and which needs its service for a little while. In
W1:135.15  They are the means by which a frightened mind would undertake its  own protection at the cost of truth. This is not difficult to realize
W1:135.16  It does not think that it will be provided for unless it makes its  own provisions. Time becomes a future emphasis to be controlled by
W1:135.21  you become a light which Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its  own. And it will lead you on in ways appointed for your happiness

W1:136.5  in making your “reality” which makes defenses seem to be beyond your  own control. But what you have forgot can be remembered, given
W1:136.7  whole again. And yet you have forgotten that they stand but for your  own decision of what should be real, to take the place of what is
W1:136.8  you make, a plan you lay when for an instant truth arises in your  own deluded mind and all your world appears to totter and prepare to
W1:136.11 Such is your planning for your  own defense. And you believe that Heaven quails before such mad
W1:137.3  alone. In sickness must he be apart and separate. But healing is his  own decision to be one again and to accept his Self with all its

W1:140.8  It is not further from us than ourselves. It is as near to us as our  own thoughts—so close it is impossible to lose. We need but seek
W1:R4.9  Lord of Hosts be yours, as He Himself has willed it be. And as His  own completion joins with Him, so will He join with you who are

W1:152.1 No one can suffer loss unless it be his  own decision. No one suffers pain except his choice elects this state
W1:152.1  these are the outcomes that he wants. And no one dies without his  own consent. Nothing occurs but represents your wish, and nothing is
W1:152.4  a vast array of choices which do not appear to be entirely your  own. And thus the truth appears to have some aspects that belie

W1:152.11  right to Heaven and release from hell are joyously accepted as our  own. Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false and
W1:152.13 The power of decision is my  own. This day I will accept myself as what my Father's Will created
W1:153.6  maintains that choice is always made between His strength and your  own weakness seen apart from Him. Defenselessness can never be

W1:153.11  has elected all, but few have come to realize His Will is but their  own. And while you fail to teach what you have learned, salvation

W1:153.14  pitiful defense against a vengeance he cannot escape, were but his  own deluded fantasy. God's ministers have come to waken him from the

W1:154.3 It is through His ability to hear One Voice Which is His  own that you become aware at last there is One Voice in you. And that
W1:154.8  understand he has received until he gives. For in the giving is his  own acceptance of what he received.
W1:154.9  by you as well. For thus do you identify with Him and claim your  own.
W1:154.11  may be at last delivered. And He needs our will united with His  own, that we may be the true receivers of the gifts He gives.
W1:154.12  can this mean to you until you have identified with him and with his  own?

W1:155.14  how great His trust, how limitless His Love. In your name and His  own, which are the same, we practice gladly with this thought today:
W1:156.5  for they recognize Who walks with you. The light you carry is their  own, and thus they see in you their holiness, saluting you as savior
W1:157.8  start today with the experience this day holds out to you to be your  own.
W1:159.1  has not received. To give a thing requires first you have it in your  own possession. Here the laws of Heaven and the world agree. But here
W1:160.4  is unsuited to the home which God provided for His Son? Is fear His  own, created in His likeness? Is it fear that love completes and is
W1:160.6  in and took no alien thought to be Itself. And It will call Its  own unto Itself, in recognition of what is Its own.
W1:160.6  And It will call Its own unto Itself, in recognition of what is Its  own.
W1:160.7  given him your rightful place. Yet is your Self as certain of Its  own as God is of His Son. He cannot be confused about creation. He is
W1:160.9  what belongs to Him. His vision sees no strangers, but beholds His  own and joyously unites with them. They see Him as a stranger, for
W1:161.8  as fear's symbol. And he will attack because what he beholds is his  own fear external to himself, poised to attack and howling to unite
W1:161.12  your sins, whose sacred hands can take the nails which pierce your  own away and lift the crown of thorns which you have placed upon your
W1:161.15  upon, for He will hear the Voice of God in you and answer in your  own. Behold him now whom you had seen as merely flesh and bone and
W1:162.3 Holy indeed is he who makes these words his  own—arising with them in his mind, recalling them throughout the

W1:164.7  forgiven in the sight of Christ, with all the world forgiven in our  own.

W1:166.9  you may not be your identity. Perhaps God's Word is truer than your  own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real. Perhaps He has not wholly
W1:166.12  your will when you accept these gifts and recognize they are your  own.
W1:167.4  qualities the source does not contain, becoming different from their  own origin, apart from it in kind as well as distance, time, and form.

W1:168.5  receive what has been given us. Our faith lies in the Giver, not our  own acceptance. We acknowledge our mistakes, but He to Whom all error
W1:168.6  Him we pray today, returning but the words He gave to us through His  Own Voice, His Word, His Love:
W1:170.3 You make what you defend against, and by your  own defense against it, is it real and inescapable. Lay down your
W1:170.11  with those of fear. Yet must the worshipers of fear perceive their  own confusion in fear's “enemy,” its cruelty as now a part of love.
W1:R5.11  I save the world. The Self from Which I call to you is but your  own. To Him we go together. Take your brother's hand, for this is not
W1:R5.12  established it. You are His Son, completing His extension in your  own. We practice but an ancient truth we knew before illusion seemed
W1:171.3 [152] The power of decision is my  own. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:181.1  becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self that lies beyond your  own mistakes and past his seeming sins as well as yours.

W1:182.5 It is this Child in you your Father knows as His  own Son. It is this Child Who knows His Father. He desires to go home
W1:183.1  no holier than yours. To call upon His Name is but to call upon your  own. A father gives his son his name, and thus identifies the son
W1:183.7  that we desire to see; of everything that we would call our  own.
W1:183.10  you found. You can remember what the world forgot and offer it your  own remembering. You can accept today the part you play in its
W1:183.10  You can accept today the part you play in its salvation and your  own as well, and both can be accomplished perfectly.
W1:183.11  Son calls on his Father's Name. His Father's Thoughts become his  own. He makes his claim to all his Father gave, is giving still, and
W1:184.1  you see. Each one becomes a separate entity, identified by its  own name. By this you carve it out of unity. By this you designate
W1:184.8  call him, for his mind consents to take the name you give him as his  own. And thus his unity is twice denied, for you perceive him
W1:184.15  different names is but a shadow we have tried to cast across Your  Own Reality. And we are glad and thankful we were wrong. All our
W1:185.10  sincerity. For thus you reach to what they really want and join your  own intent with what they seek above all things, perhaps unknown to
W1:185.12  you it was created, given you by its Creator and established as His  own eternal gift. How can you fail when you but ask for what He wills
W1:186.1  Here is the thought of true humility which holds no function as your  own but that which has been given you. It offers your acceptance of a
W1:187.2  for proof that when you give ideas away, you strengthen them in your  own mind. Perhaps the form in which the thought seems to appear is
W1:188.1  you from your native home and stayed with you because it is your  own. It is the only thing you bring with you from Him Who is your
W1:189.2  salvation in you and protects the light in you in which it sees its  own. It offers you its flowers and its snow in thankfulness for your
W1:189.10  answered us. We will not interfere. Salvation's ways are not our  own, for they belong to You. And it is unto You we look for them. Our
W1:189.10  would find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our  own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a part
W1:190.6  and forever. And would you deny a little corner of your mind its  own inheritance and keep it as a hospital for pain, a sickly place
W1:191.2  your world? What have you done that this is what you see? Deny your  own Identity, and this is what remains. You look on chaos and
W1:191.3 Deny your  own Identity, and you will not escape the madness which induced this
W1:191.3  thought which mocks creation and which laughs at God. Deny your  own Identity, and you assail the universe alone, without a friend, a
W1:191.3  tiny particle of dust against the legions of your enemies. Deny your  own Identity and look on evil, sin, and death. And watch despair
W1:191.13 They must await your  own release. They stay in chains till you are free. They cannot see
W1:191.13  until you have denied its hold on you. They die till you accept your  own eternal life. You are the holy Son of God Himself. Remember this
W1:192.1  and attack? Therefore you have a function in the world in its  own terms. For who can understand a language far beyond his simple
W1:193.12  all the gifts His Love brings with it. Would you now renounce your  own salvation? Would you fail to learn the simple lessons Heaven's
W1:195.10  God gives thanks to you, His Son, for being what you are—His  own completion and the source of love, along with Him. Your gratitude
W1:196.1  a brother saves yourself. And you will understand his safety is your  own, and in his healing you are healed.
W1:196.8  once you understand it is impossible that you be hurt except by your  own thoughts, the fear of God must disappear. You do not now believe
W1:197.1  free your mind from the belief in outside force pitted against your  own. You make attempts at kindness and forgiveness. Yet you turn them
W1:197.5  can be given only to yourself, and what belongs to God must be His  own. Yet you will never realize His gifts are sure, eternal,
W1:198.5  teach, instead of trying to dismiss His words and substitute your  own in place of His?
W1:198.10 Only my condemnation injures me. Only my  own forgiveness sets me free.
W1:200.7  Son, who cannot make a world in opposition to God's Will and to his  own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to find in such a
W1:203.1 [183] I call upon God's Name and on my  own. The Name of God is my deliverance from every thought of evil and
W1:203.1  deliverance from every thought of evil and of sin, because it is my  own as well as His. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God
W1:210.1 [190] I choose the joy of God instead of pain. Pain is my  own idea. It is not a thought of God, but one I thought apart from
W1:213.1  I am set free. And so I choose to learn His lessons and forget my  own. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
W2:I.6  one we made and take that world to be the full replacement of our  own.
W2:227.1  exists. And I am free because I was mistaken and did not affect my  own reality at all by my illusions. Now I give them up and lay them
W2:229.1 I seek my  own Identity and find it in these words: “Love, Which created me, is
W2:WS.2  to recognize its oneness. Now it did not know itself and thought its  own Identity was lost.
W2:233.1  today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me Your  own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your will instead

W2:248.2  Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your Love remembered and my  own. Now do I understand that they are one.
W2:253.2  Which rules the universe, is but Your will in perfect union with my  own, which can but offer glad assent to Yours that It may be extended
W2:264.1  I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches for my  own. In You time disappears and place becomes a meaningless belief.
W2:264.1  Itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your  own Name today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love.
W2:266.2 This day we enter into paradise, calling upon God's name and on our  own, acknowledging our Self in each of us, united in the holy Love of
W2:267.2 Let me attend Your Answer, not my  own. Father, my heart is beating in the peace the Heart of Love
W2:269.2  We are one because of Him Who is the Son of God, of Him Who is our  own Identity.
W2:270.1  And now his will is one with Yours. His function now is but Your  own, and every thought except Your own is gone.
W2:270.1  His function now is but Your own, and every thought except Your  own is gone.
W2:273.2  the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my  own eternal love for You.
W2:276.2  I would speak to all my brothers, who are given me to cherish as my  own, as I am loved and blessed and saved by You.
W2:279.2  my faith to them. My Father loves the Son Whom He created as His  own. Would You withhold the gifts You gave to me?
W2:288.1  let me honor him who bears Your Name and so remember that It is my  own.
W2:289.2  not look upon a past that is not there. For You have offered me Your  own replacement in a present world the past has left untouched and
W2:290.1  vision come to me this very day. What I perceive without God's  own correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to
W2:299.1 My holiness is far beyond my  own ability to understand or know. Yet God my Father, Who created it,
W2:302.1  had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that darkness is our  own imagining and light is there for us to look upon. Christ's vision
W2:302.1  that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but reflects my  own.
W2:309.1  forever and forever. I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His  own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father's Will is to
W2:309.1  will no change in this. For to deny my Father's Will is to deny my  own. To look within is but to find my will as God created it and as

W2:328.1  is there any second to His Will. To join with His is but to find our  own. And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to
W2:330.1  its freedom and its joy, as is the Will of God united with its  own. The Self which God created cannot sin and therefore cannot
W2:332.1  mind. Without forgiveness is the mind in chains, believing in its  own futility. Yet with forgiveness does the light shine through the
W2:335.1  this. My brother's sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my  own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its
W2:344.1 This is Your law, my Father, not my  own. I have not understood what giving means and thought to save what

W2:347.1  Him judge today. I do not know my will, but He is sure it is Your  own. And He will speak for me, and call Your miracle to come to me.
W2:348.1  What can I fear when You created me in holiness as perfect as Your  own?
W2:349.1  do I obey the law of love and give what I would find and make my  own. It will be given me because I have chosen it as the gift I want
W2:WAI.1  I am His holy sinlessness itself, for in my purity abides His  own.
W2:352.1  would hear Your Voice and find Your peace today. For I would love my  own Identity and find in Him the memory of You.
W2:354.1  I have no self except the Christ in me. I have no purpose but His  own. And He is like His Father. Thus must I be one with You as well
W2:356.1  answer to Your Son because to call Your Name is but to call his  own.
W2:359.1 Father, today we will forgive Your world and let creation be Your  own. We have misunderstood all things. But we have not made sinners
W2:FL.3  God has given us. It is His ending to the dream we seek, and not our  own. For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as part of
W2:FL.4  our function to remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His  own completion in reality. So let us not forget our goal is shared.
W2:FL.6  and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons through the Voice of His  own Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to answer him
W2:FL.6  I have is his”? Be certain He will answer thus, for these are His  own Words to you. And more than that can no one ever have, for in

Tx:15.49  relationship under His care and be sure that it will not result in  pain if you offer Him your willingness to have it serve no need but
Tx:15.103  and when you have accepted it with me, you will give it with me. All  pain and sacrifice and littleness will disappear in our relationship,

Tx:16.21  He came. And the results have been to bring peace where there was  pain, and suffering has disappeared, to be replaced by joy.
Tx:16.43  it is necessary first to realize that it involves a great amount of  pain. Anxiety, despair, guilt, and attack all enter into it, broken
Tx:16.65  before only because you realize it is delay and that escape from  pain is really possible. Find hope and comfort rather than despair in

Tx:17.3  truth. Very simply, your lack of faith in the power that heals all  pain arises from your wish to retain some aspects of reality for

Tx:18.20  to you.] Your special relationship will remain, not as a source of  pain and guilt, but as a source of joy and freedom. It will not be
Tx:18.63  one responsibility. Atonement is not welcomed by those who prefer  pain and destruction.

Tx:19.62  has no hope of pleasure. But neither can it bring you fear of pain.  Pain is the only “sacrifice” the Holy Spirit asks, and this He would
Tx:19.63  want communion, not the feast of fear. You want salvation, not the  pain of guilt. And you want your Father, not a little mound of clay,
Tx:19.69  as itself. The body can bring you neither peace nor turmoil; neither  pain nor joy. It is a means and not an end. It has no purpose of
Tx:19.71 It is impossible to seek for pleasure through the body and not find  pain. It is essential that this relationship be understood, for it is
Tx:19.71  of equating yourself with the body, which is the invitation to  pain. For it invites fear to enter and become your purpose. The
Tx:19.71  fear directs the body to do is therefore painful. It will share the  pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be the same
Tx:19.71  of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be the same as  pain.
Tx:19.72  whole illusion of its existence. This, then, is the attraction of  pain. Ruled by this perception, the body becomes the servant of pain,
Tx:19.72  of pain. Ruled by this perception, the body becomes the servant of  pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying the idea that pain is
Tx:19.72  the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying the idea that  pain is pleasure. It is this idea that underlies all of the ego's
Tx:19.74  And to convince you this is possible, it bids the body search for  pain in attack upon another, calling it pleasure and offering it to
Tx:19.75  believe that yielding to the attraction of guilt is the escape from  pain. Not one but must regard the body as himself, without which he
Tx:19.103  This is your brother, crucified by sin, and waiting for release from  pain. Would you not offer him forgiveness, when only he can offer it
Tx:19.109  so will his offering be seen and so received. The crucified give  pain because they are in pain. But the redeemed give joy because they
Tx:19.109  be seen and so received. The crucified give pain because they are in  pain. But the redeemed give joy because they have been healed of
Tx:19.109  in pain. But the redeemed give joy because they have been healed of  pain. Everyone gives as he receives, but he must choose what it will
Tx:20.1  the celebration of his release. For Easter is the sign of peace, not  pain. A slain Christ has no meaning. But a risen Christ becomes the
Tx:20.15  he would be. He will not leave you nor forsake the savior from his  pain. And gladly will you walk the way of innocence together, singing
Tx:20.28  results as this world sees them—sickness and death and misery and  pain. These things have not occurred because the Holy Spirit sees
Tx:20.43  And merely by remembering them, the laws that held you prisoner to  pain and death must be forgotten. This is no gift your brother's body
Tx:21.5 There is no need to learn through  pain. And gentle lessons are acquired joyously and are remembered
Tx:21.6  choice is that or nothing. They hate the world they learned through  pain. And everything they think is in it serves to remind them that
Tx:21.14  the only thing that you need do for vision, happiness, release from  pain, and the complete escape from sin, all to be given you. Say only
Tx:21.64  miracle instead without the other being blessed by it and healed of  pain.
Tx:22.16  the way to lose the misery the other brings. Every illusion carries  pain and suffering in the dark folds of the heavy garments with which
Tx:22.54  but will be used. This holy relationship has the power to heal all  pain, regardless of its form. Neither of you alone can serve at all.
Tx:22.62  another without yourself or hurt yourself without the other feeling  pain. And this belief you want. Yet wherein lies its value except in
Tx:23.30  substitute for love. This is the “magic” that will cure all of your  pain; the missing factor in your madness that makes it “sane.” This
Tx:23.41  then it must follow that you do not always recognize the source of  pain. Attack in any form is equally destructive. Its purpose does not
Tx:23.52  forms you do not recognize, the signs you know. There is a stab of  pain, a twinge of guilt, and above all, a loss of peace. This you
Tx:24.13  will bring you joy. But the pursuit of specialness must bring you  pain. Here is a goal that would defeat salvation and thus run counter
Tx:24.39  in reality: when peace is not with you entirely and when you suffer  pain of any kind, you have beheld some sin within your brother and
Tx:24.41  much it delicately offers the hope of peace and the escape from  pain—in which you suffer not your condemnation. In dreams, effect
Tx:24.52  to perceive what is not there and all belief God's Son can suffer  pain because he sees himself as he is not.
Tx:24.58  God for you must be that He has given you a part of Him to save from  pain and give you happiness. And never doubt but that your
Tx:25.42  believed to be without the power to save what He created from the  pain of hell. But in the love he shows himself is God made free to
Tx:25.50  the world depends. The magic of the world can seem to hide the  pain of sin from sinners and deceive with glitter and with guile. Yet
Tx:26.16  receive correction for all your problems. You will not keep one, for  pain in any form you will not want. And you will see each little hurt
Tx:26.64  is redemption laid, for healing is not needed where there is no  pain or suffering. Forgiveness is the answer to attack of any kind.
Tx:26.74  strikes, to be perceived as “good” some day but now in form of  pain. This is a sacrifice of now, which could not be the cost the
Tx:27.2  sacrifice is his made manifest and shown to be his own. But every  pain you suffer do you see as proof that he is guilty of attack. Thus
Tx:27.3 Whenever you consent to suffer  pain, to be deprived, unfairly treated, or in need of anything, you
Tx:27.3  offers you to give to him a picture of yourself in which there is no  pain and no reproach at all. And what was martyred to his guilt
Tx:27.5  has not been used for purpose of attack and therefore never suffered  pain at all. It witnesses to the eternal truth that you cannot be
Tx:27.17 Your body can be means to teach that it has never suffered  pain because of him. And in its healing can it offer him mute
Tx:27.19  from guilt upon your brother and yourself. Your healing saves him  pain as well as you, and you are healed because you wished him well.
Tx:27.21  then fears healing? Only those to whom their brother's sacrifice and  pain are seen to represent their own serenity. Their helplessness and
Tx:27.21  and weakness represent the grounds on which they justify his  pain. The constant sting of guilt he suffers serves to prove that he
Tx:27.21  serves to prove that he is slave but they are free. The constant  pain they suffer demonstrates that they are free because they hold
Tx:27.39  peace and offer joy? And which can bring escape from all the  pain of which this world is made?” Whatever form the question takes,
Tx:27.54  Pain demonstrates the body must be real. It is a loud, obscuring
Tx:27.54  what the Holy Spirit says and keep His words from your awareness.  Pain compels attention, drawing it away from Him and focusing upon
Tx:27.54  which unites all those who share in it within itself. Pleasure and  pain are equally unreal, because their purpose cannot be achieved.
Tx:27.55 Sin shifts from  pain to pleasure and again to pain. For either witness is the same
Tx:27.55 Sin shifts from pain to pleasure and again to  pain. For either witness is the same and carries but one message:
Tx:27.55  you can be hurt. You can have pleasure, too, but only at the cost of  pain.” These witnesses are joined by many more. Each one seems
Tx:27.55  Except for this, the witnesses of sin are all alike. Call pleasure  pain, and it will hurt. Call pain a pleasure, and the pain behind the
Tx:27.55  of sin are all alike. Call pleasure pain, and it will hurt. Call  pain a pleasure, and the pain behind the pleasure will be felt no
Tx:27.55  Call pleasure pain, and it will hurt. Call pain a pleasure, and the  pain behind the pleasure will be felt no more. Sin's witnesses but
Tx:27.58  the effects of life it brings. The dying live, the dead arise, and  pain has vanished. Yet a miracle speaks not but for itself, but what
Tx:27.59  the One Who sends forth miracles to bless the world, a tiny stab of  pain, a little worldly pleasure, and the throes of death itself are
Tx:27.68  you were sure—of all the many causes you perceived as bringing  pain and suffering to you, your guilt was not among them. Nor did you
Tx:27.76  be seen in light of charity and kindness offered you. And let no  pain disturb your dream of deep appreciation for his gifts to you.
Tx:27.86  still is this the truth. Whatever seems to be the cause of any  pain and suffering you feel, this is still true. For you would not
Tx:27.87  been learned, regardless of the form of suffering that brings you  pain. Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will make answer with this
Tx:27.87  this one answer takes away the cause of every form of sorrow and of  pain. The form affects His answer not at all, for He would teach you
Tx:28.27  of miracles. They stand in shining silence next to every dream of  pain and suffering, of sin and guilt. They are the dream's
Tx:28.31  you separated in a body which you see as if it were the cause of  pain.
Tx:28.32 The cause of  pain is separation, not the body, which is only its effect. Yet
Tx:28.37  on you. Thus have they no effects. And you are free of dreams of  pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, you will suffer
Tx:28.37  of pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, you will suffer  pain with him because that is your wish. And you become a figure in
Tx:28.37  because that is your wish. And you become a figure in his dream of  pain, as he in yours. So do you both become illusions and without
Tx:28.48  of hate and malice, bitterness and death, of sin and suffering, [of]  pain and loss, that makes them real. Unshared, they are perceived as
Tx:28.54  nor made itself to be what it is not. It does not seek to make of  pain a joy and look for lasting pleasure in the dust. It does not
Tx:28.58 Sickness is anger taken out upon the body, so that it will suffer  pain. It is the obvious effect of what was made in secret, in
Tx:29.12  a battleground. It has been futile to demand escape from sin and  pain of what was made to serve the function of retaining sin and
Tx:29.12  and pain of what was made to serve the function of retaining sin and  pain. For pain and sin are one illusion, as are hate and fear, attack

Tx:29.12  misery and loss, and all effects of hatred and attack. No more is  pain your friend and guilt your god, and you should welcome the
Tx:29.34  are joined in innocence. These are not hands that grasp in dreams of  pain. They hold no sword, for they have left their hold on every vain
Tx:29.38  much do you desire peace instead of endless strife and misery and  pain? These questions are the same in different form. Forgiveness is
Tx:29.43  happiness His answer brings. Seek not outside yourself. For all your  pain comes simply from a futile search for what you want, insisting
Tx:29.57  and as loving as his Father, come to hate a little while, to suffer  pain, and finally to die.
Tx:29.59  more intelligence, more wealth, or even more affliction and more  pain. But more of something is an idol for. And when one fails,
Tx:29.69  you. For beneath your hope that it will save you lie the guilt and  pain of self-betrayal and uncertainty, so deep and bitter that the
Tx:30.1  lead you from dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams and out of  pain and fear. They are not new to you, but they are more ideas than
Tx:30.58  are not wanted there, for guilt is understood as the sole cause of  pain in any form. No one is tempted by its vain appeal, for suffering
Tx:30.65  it. What happiness have you sought here that did not bring you  pain? What moment of content has not been bought at fearful price in
Tx:30.67  except the “gift” of guilt. Not one was bought except at cost of  pain, nor was it ever paid by you alone.
Tx:30.94  but will fade if you request a miracle instead. There is no  pain from which he is not free if you would have him be but what he
Tx:31.11  You are deceived if you believe you want disaster and disunity and  pain. Hear not the call for this within yourself. But listen, rather,
Tx:31.30  to the snarling dogs of hate and evil, sickness and attack, of  pain and age, of grief and suffering. Here are the thoughts of
Tx:31.81  upon the thing that you would be instead. It is a thing of madness,  pain, and death; a thing of treachery and black despair, of failing
Tx:31.87  choice before, you now can make a better one and thus escape all  pain which what you chose before has brought to you. In every
Tx:31.87  says, “My brother, choose again.” He would not leave one source of  pain unhealed nor any image left to veil the truth. [He would remove
Tx:31.92  regardless of the images you see. What you behold as sickness and as  pain, as weakness and as suffering and loss is but temptation to
Tx:31.92  defenseless and in hell. Yield not to this, and you will see all  pain in every form wherever it occurs but disappear as mists before
Tx:31.93  of a different world, so new and clean and fresh you will forget the  pain and sorrow that you saw before. Yet this a vision is which you
W1:5.1  used with any person, situation, or event you think is causing you  pain. Apply it specifically to whatever you believe is the cause of
W1:20.2  and you cannot distinguish between joy and sorrow, pleasure and  pain, love and fear. You are now learning how to tell them apart. And
W1:38.2 Your holiness, then, can remove all  pain, can end all sorrow, and can solve all problems. It can do so in
W1:41.2  you and out into the whole world. It will cure all sorrow and  pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought
W1:56.2  How can I know who I am when I see myself as under constant attack?  Pain, illness, loss, age, and death seem to threaten me. All my hopes

W1:78.7  will review his faults, the difficulties you have had with him, the  pain he caused you, his neglect, and all the little and the larger
W1:95.1  creation—weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with  pain.

W1:98.6 Here is an offer guaranteeing you your full release from  pain of every kind and joy the world does not contain. You can
W1:99.4  means by which they are undone without attack and with no touch of  pain? What but a thought of God could be this plan by which the never
W1:99.5  Unshaken does the Holy Spirit look on what you see—on sin and  pain and death, on grief and separation, and on loss. Yet does He
W1:99.9  in which your freedom lies. Your Father loves you. All the world of  pain is not His Will. Forgive yourself the thought He wanted this for
W1:101.2  for they cannot both be true. The sinful warrant only death and  pain, and it is this they ask for, for they know it waits for them
W1:101.3 If sin is real, salvation must be  pain. Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering can never be escaped if
W1:101.3 If sin is real, salvation must be pain.  Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering can never be escaped if sin is
W1:101.6  there is no sin, and suffering is causeless. Joy is just, and  pain is but the sign you have misunderstood yourself.
W1:102.2  we try to loose its weakened hold still further. And to realize that  pain is purposeless, without a cause, and with no power to accomplish
W1:103.1  so, believing there are gaps in love where sin can enter, bringing  pain instead of joy.
W1:103.6  replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the place of  pain. God being Love, it will be given you. Bolster this expectation

Tx:1.29  I stand at the end in case you fail temporarily. The purpose of my  part in the Atonement is the canceling out of all lacks of love which
Tx:1.30  really means “undoing.” The undoing of fear is an essential  part of the Atonement value of miracles.

Tx:3.58  Truth can only be known. All of it is equally true, and knowing any  part of it is to know all of it. Only perception involves partial

Tx:4.27  need they feel to protect them. This is because they regard them as  part of themselves. No one disowns something he regards as a very
Tx:4.27  of themselves. No one disowns something he regards as a very real  part of himself. Man reacts to his ego much as God does to His Souls:
Tx:4.39  can be understood only within the thought system of which they are a  part. That is why psychologists are concentrating increasingly on the
Tx:4.55  sane mind is perfectly conscious, is ruthlessly banished from the  part of the mind which the ego rules. The ego is desperate because it
Tx:4.66  of Christ means nothing more than the end of the ego's rule over  part of the minds of men and the healing of the mind. I was created
Tx:4.71  mind becomes actually dazed. Being told by the ego that it is really  part of the body and that the body is its protector, the mind is also
Tx:4.85 The ego is nothing more than a  part of your belief about yourselves. Your other life has continued
Tx:4.89  charge of the whole Atonement. This is only because I completed my  part in it as a man and can now complete it through other men. My
Tx:4.94  becomes concrete voluntarily as soon as it splits. However, only  part of it splits, so only part of it is concrete. The concrete part

Tx:5.22  knowledge is sure. God is not in you in a literal sense; you are  part of Him. When you chose to leave Him, He gave you a Voice to
Tx:5.25  chooses right. The Holy Spirit is your Guide in choosing. He is the  part of your mind which always speaks for the right choice because He
Tx:5.28  cannot be as one. What better vocation could there be for any  part of the Kingdom than to restore it to the perfect integration
Tx:5.32  between the two ways of thinking would not be open to healing. He is  part of the Holy Trinity because His Mind is partly yours and also
Tx:5.33  Being the Call for God, it is also the idea of God. Since you are  part of God, it is also the idea of yourself as well as of all the
Tx:5.33  ideas, because it follows the laws of the Universe of which it is a  part. Therefore, it is strengthened by being given away. It increases
Tx:5.41  with an unwilling learner without going counter to his will because  part of his will is still for God. Despite the ego's attempts to
Tx:5.41  will is still for God. Despite the ego's attempts to conceal this  part, it is still much stronger than the ego, even though the ego

Tx:5.43  God in remembrance of me. He is in Holy Communion always, and He is  part of you. He is your Guide to salvation, because He holds the
Tx:5.44  your real relationships to them, because you did not accept them as  part of you. Understanding is beyond perception because it introduces
Tx:5.45  we know what God creates is eternal. What fear has hidden still is  part of you.
Tx:5.46  belongs to you because you created it. It is yours because it is a  part of you, just as you are part of God because He created you.

Tx:5.50  it is possible even in this world to listen to one voice. If you are  part of God and the Sonship is one, you cannot be limited to the
Tx:5.50  limited to the “self” the ego sees. Every loving thought held in any  part of the Sonship belongs to every part. It is shared because it is
Tx:5.50  loving thought held in any part of the Sonship belongs to every  part. It is shared because it is loving. Sharing is God's way of

Tx:5.61 The ego is the  part of the mind which believes in division. How can part of God
Tx:5.61 The ego is the part of the mind which believes in division. How can  part of God detach itself without believing it is attacking Him? We
Tx:5.62  that you believe it is possible to attack God. You believe that a  part of Him has been torn away by you. The classic picture of fear of
Tx:5.67  are wrong. The function of thought comes from God and is in God. As  part of His Thought, you cannot think apart from Him.
Tx:5.73  know God. Remember the Kingdom always, and remember that you who are  part of the Kingdom cannot be lost. The mind that was in me is in
Tx:5.76  undo it in you because it does not belong in your mind, which is  part of God.
Tx:5.78 The ego will not be destroyed because it is  part of your thought, but because it is uncreative and therefore
Tx:5.78  it will be reinterpreted entirely to release you from fear. The  part of your thought which you have given to the ego will merely
Tx:5.93  His plan perfectly explicit to you and have also told you of your  part in His plan and how urgent it is that you fulfill it. There is
Tx:5.95  you, is nevertheless within you because God placed it there. Your  part is merely to return your thinking to the point at which the
Tx:6.9  that it is assailable. You are not asked to be crucified, which was  part of my own teaching contribution. You are merely asked to follow
Tx:6.21  a similar reversal. Judas was my brother and a Son of God, as much a  part of the Sonship as myself. Was it likely that I would condemn him
Tx:6.25 Any split in will must involve a rejection of  part of it, and this is the belief in separation. The wholeness of
Tx:6.30  cannot be anywhere that God did not put you, and God created you as  part of Him. That is both where you are and what you are. It is
Tx:6.32  with each other, because they were created neither partially nor in  part. The Holy Spirit enables you to perceive this wholeness now. You
Tx:6.38  Spirit is One. No darkness abides anywhere in the Kingdom, but your  part is only to allow no darkness to abide in your own mind. This
Tx:6.40  mind can never be defiled. The ego never was and never will be  part of it, but through the ego you can hear and teach and learn what
Tx:6.43  is to teach peace. By learning it through projection, it becomes a  part of what you know, because you cannot teach what you have
Tx:6.45  you no longer need His guidance. The ego does not regard itself as  part of you. Herein lies its primary perceptual error, the foundation
Tx:6.46 When God created you, He made you  part of Him. That is why attack within the Kingdom is impossible. You
Tx:6.46  itself as separate and outside its maker, thus speaking for the  part of your mind that believes you are separate and outside the Mind
Tx:6.48 The ego cannot hear the Holy Spirit, but it does believe that  part of the same mind that made it is against it. It interprets this
Tx:6.48  to the body, not the mind, as its ally, because the body is not  part of you. This makes the body the ego's friend. It is an alliance
Tx:6.49  that its “enemy” can end them both merely by knowing they are not  part of him, they join in the attack together. This is perhaps the
Tx:6.50  questions which the ego raises. You are a Child of God, a priceless  part of His Kingdom, which He created as part of Him. Nothing else
Tx:6.50  a Child of God, a priceless part of His Kingdom, which He created as  part of Him. Nothing else exists, and only this is real. You have
Tx:6.63  the mind can be shared. The body is separate and therefore cannot be  part of you. To be of one mind is meaningful, but to be of one body
Tx:6.94  did not keep only the Kingdom of God in your minds and thus placed  part of your mind outside it. What you have made has thus divided
Tx:7.3 Your creations belong in you, as you belong in God. You are  part of God, as your sons are part of His Sons. To create is to love.
Tx:7.3  in you, as you belong in God. You are part of God, as your sons are  part of His Sons. To create is to love. Love extends outward simply
Tx:7.27  therefore your friend. We said before that the ego's friend is not  part of you, since the ego perceives itself as at war and therefore
Tx:7.31  is already there and thereby reawaken it. This is why the healer is  part of the resurrection and the life. The Spirit is not asleep in
Tx:7.31  the life. The Spirit is not asleep in the minds of the sick, but the  part of the mind that can perceive it and be glad is.
Tx:7.34  step toward the knowledge that you are in God, because you are  part of Him. The miracles which the Holy Spirit inspires can have no
Tx:7.34  Holy Spirit inspires can have no order of difficulty, because every  part of creation is of one order. This is God's Will and yours. The
Tx:7.49  because what you understand you can identify with, and by making it  part of you, you have accepted it with love.
Tx:7.53  His creations. You can appreciate the Sonship only as one. This is  part of the Law of Creation and therefore governs all thought.
Tx:7.54  fragmented. It is impossible, however, for you to see something in  part of it that you will not attribute to all of it. That is why
Tx:7.55  of your making. Your ability to direct your thinking as you will is  part of its power. If you do not believe you can do this, you have
Tx:7.58  if the mind which made it knew itself. And if it recognized any  part of the Sonship, it would know itself.
Tx:7.63 The ego wants no  part of truth, because the truth is that the ego is not true. If
Tx:7.65  [of thought] as if it were weak, because you do not believe you are  part of it.
Tx:7.66 Perceived without your  part in it, God's creation is perceived as weak, and those who see
Tx:7.70  is because denial is as total as love. It is as impossible to deny  part of the Sonship as it is to love it in part. Nor is it possible
Tx:7.70  is as impossible to deny part of the Sonship as it is to love it in  part. Nor is it possible to love it totally at times. You cannot be
Tx:7.70  you. Reality cannot be partly appreciated. That is why denying any  part of it means you have lost awareness of all of it.
Tx:7.71  of God. Stated positively,] the law requires you to recognize only  part of reality to appreciate all of it. Mind is too powerful to be
Tx:7.76  rest by loving. But love everything He created of which you are a  part, or you cannot learn of His peace and accept His gift for
Tx:7.79 Being the  part of your mind which does not believe it is responsible for itself
Tx:7.80  everyone, and you will know that you are in Him with them. They are  part of you, as you are part of God. You are as lonely without
Tx:7.80  know that you are in Him with them. They are part of you, as you are  part of God. You are as lonely without understanding this as God
Tx:7.81 Perceive any  part of the ego's thought system as wholly insane, wholly delusional,
Tx:7.81  evaluated all of it. This correction enables you to perceive any  part of creation as wholly real, wholly perfect, and wholly
Tx:7.85  precisely because it cannot be fully shared. Any attempt to keep  part of it and get rid of another part does not really mean anything.
Tx:7.85  fully shared. Any attempt to keep part of it and get rid of another  part does not really mean anything. Remember that a conflicted
Tx:7.90  your true identification with the whole Kingdom as literally  part of you. This identification is as beyond doubt as it is beyond
Tx:7.91  the Soul, because that is how God created it. The Holy Spirit is the  part of the mind that lies between the ego and the Soul, mediating
Tx:7.91  ego, this is partiality, and it therefore responds as if it were the  part that is being sided against. To the Soul, this is truth, because
Tx:7.91  is truth, because it knows its fullness and cannot conceive of any  part from which it is excluded.
Tx:7.92  God. Everything He created is given all His power, because it is  part of Him and shares His Being with Him. Creating is the opposite
Tx:7.94  joy, because you do not know your own self-fullness. Exclude any  part of the Kingdom from yourself, and you are not whole. A split
Tx:7.95  into your awareness whenever you will let Him. They are there as  part of your own being, because your fulfillment includes them. The
Tx:7.97  The miracle is a lesson in total perception. By including any  part of totality in the lesson, you have included the whole. You have
Tx:7.98  could not want it. The only reason why you could possibly want any  part of it is because you do not see the whole of it. You [therefore]
Tx:7.99  there, exactly where they belong. They belong in your mind as  part of your identification with His, but your state of mind and your
Tx:7.112  are denying yours and that of God, Who created you. You cannot deny  part of truth. You do not know your creations, because you do not
Tx:8.4 Those whom you perceive as opponents are  part of your peace, which you are giving up by attacking them. How
Tx:8.12  them to be the same, how can you tell them apart? Can you ask the  part of your mind that taught you to believe they are the same to
Tx:8.14  because it created all things. By creating all things, it made them  part of itself. You are the Will of God, because this is how you were
Tx:8.14  your Creator creates only like Himself, you are like Him. You are  part of Him Who is all power and glory and are therefore as unlimited
Tx:8.23 You can encounter only  part of yourself, because you are part of God, Who is everything. His
Tx:8.23 You can encounter only part of yourself, because you are  part of God, Who is everything. His power and glory are everywhere,
Tx:8.23  releasing you and your brothers from every imprisoning thought any  part of the Sonship has accepted. Wrong decisions have no power
Tx:8.27  You were in darkness until God's Will was done completely by any  part of the Sonship. When this was done, it was perfectly
Tx:8.34  with the Son. It cannot be with one and not the other. If you are  part of one, you must be part of the other, because they are one.
Tx:8.34  be with one and not the other. If you are part of one, you must be  part of the other, because they are one.
Tx:8.35  Unless you take your place in It and fulfill your function as  part of It, It is as bereft as you are. No part of It can be

Tx:8.57  part of you, he is holy. As part of me, you are. To communicate with  part of God Himself is to reach beyond the Kingdom to its Creator
Tx:8.57  to its Creator through His Voice, which He has established as  part of you.
Tx:8.61  by the Holy Spirit, it is not. It becomes only a means by which the  part of the mind you have separated from your Soul can reach beyond

Tx:8.70  is not reciprocal. The whole does define the part, but the  part does not define the whole. This is as true of knowledge as it is
Tx:8.70  as true of knowledge as it is of perception. The reason to know in  part is to know entirely is because of the fundamental difference

Tx:8.81  You need do so little, because it is so powerful that your little  part will bring the whole to you. Accept then your little part, and
Tx:8.81  little part will bring the whole to you. Accept then your little  part, and let the whole be yours.
Tx:8.86  it is properly understood. There has been a marked tendency on the  part of many of the Bible's followers and also its translators to be
Tx:8.89  your return to meaning is essential to His because your meaning is  part of His. Your healing, then, is part of His health since it is
Tx:8.89  to His because your meaning is part of His. Your healing, then, is  part of His health since it is part of His Wholeness. He cannot lose
Tx:8.89  part of His. Your healing, then, is part of His health since it is  part of His Wholeness. He cannot lose this, but you can not know it.
Tx:8.106 Christ is in me, and where He is God must be, for Christ is  part of Him.
Tx:9.10 You have a  part to play in the Atonement, but the plan of the Atonement is
Tx:9.33 If your brothers are  part of you, will you accept them? Only they can teach you what you
Tx:9.33  you do to me, and if you do everything for yourself because we are  part of you, everything we do belongs to you as well. Every Soul God
Tx:9.33  everything we do belongs to you as well. Every Soul God created is  part of you and shares His glory with you. His Glory belongs to Him,
Tx:9.34  must create as one, you remember creation whenever you recognize  part of creation. Each part you remember adds to your wholeness,
Tx:9.34  you remember creation whenever you recognize part of creation. Each  part you remember adds to your wholeness, because each part is whole.
Tx:9.34  Each part you remember adds to your wholeness, because each  part is whole. Wholeness is indivisible, but you cannot learn of your
Tx:9.44  and keep the ego's whole thought system intact. You cannot retain  part of a thought system, because it can be questioned only at its
Tx:9.47  fitting for Him, for you do not want anything else. Return your  part of Him, and He will give you all of Himself in exchange for your
Tx:9.51  you that you are insane and argue that grandeur cannot be a real  part of you because of the littleness in which it believes.
Tx:9.57  irreplaceable in the Mind of God. No one else can fill your  part of it, and while you leave your part of it empty, your eternal
Tx:9.57  God. No one else can fill your part of it, and while you leave your  part of it empty, your eternal place merely waits for your return.
Tx:9.60  nothing beside you, and nothing beside you exists, for you are  part of Him. What except Him can exist? Nothing beyond Him can
Tx:9.64  is that you love your creations as yourself because they are  part of you. Everything that was created is therefore perfectly safe,
Tx:9.64  perfectly safe, because the laws of God protect it by His Love. Any  part of your mind that does not know this has banished itself from
Tx:9.69  for God is in your memory, and His Voice will tell you that you are  part of Him when you are willing to remember Him and know your own
Tx:9.70  perceptual counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God will do His  part if you will do yours, and His return in exchange for yours is
Tx:9.71  why this is always fearful. If you further recognize that you are  part of God, you will understand why it is that you always attack
Tx:9.76  is sick. To believe that a Son of God can be sick is to believe that  part of God can suffer. Love cannot suffer, because it cannot attack.
Tx:9.77  the love of God which he has forgotten. Your recognition of him as  part of God teaches him the truth about himself, which he is denying.
Tx:9.77  power can be taken from you. Yet this is impossible, because you are  part of God, Who is all power.
Tx:9.79  which God created because of the calm knowledge that each one is  part of Him. God's Son knows no idols, but he does know his Father.
Tx:9.86  illusions are irreconcilable. Truth is whole and cannot be known by  part of a mind.
Tx:9.87  limit the split because the split is the sign that you have removed  part of your mind from God's Will, and this means it is out of
Tx:9.99  your call, you have not answered His. He calls to you from every  part of the Sonship because of His love for His Son. If you hear His
Tx:9.104  is how you must learn to see him to learn of his reality. And as  part of the Sonship, that is how you must see yourself to learn of
Tx:10.4 My brother, you are  part of God and part of me. When you have at last looked at the ego's
Tx:10.4 My brother, you are part of God and  part of me. When you have at last looked at the ego's foundation
Tx:10.5  His Son, where He wills His Son to be and where he is. In whatever  part of the Mind of God's Son you restore this reality, you restore
Tx:10.6  Who is the universe? I and my Father are one with you, for you are  part of us. Do you really believe that part of God can be missing or
Tx:10.6  are one with you, for you are part of us. Do you really believe that  part of God can be missing or lost to Him?
Tx:10.7 If you were not  part of God, His Will would not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can
Tx:10.7  part of God, His Will would not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can  part of His Mind contain nothing? If your place in His Mind cannot be
Tx:10.11 Could any  part of God be without His love and could any part of His love be
Tx:10.11 Could any part of God be without His love and could any  part of His love be contained? God is your heritage because His one
Tx:10.16  of Him, you know there is but one will. Yet when you attack any  part of God and His Kingdom, your understanding is not perfect, and
Tx:10.18 And denial is as total as love. You cannot deny  part of yourself because the remainder will seem to be unintegrated
Tx:10.20  waiting. You can safely trust His patience, for He cannot leave a  part of God. Yet you need far more than patience.
Tx:10.27  all illusions. Turn toward the light, for the little spark in you is  part of a light so great that it can sweep you out of all darkness
Tx:10.30  For you cannot understand Wholeness unless you are whole, and no  part of the Son can be excluded if he would know the Wholeness of his
Tx:10.31  your Soul by its Creator that you might extend it. Yet if you hate  part of your own Soul, all your understanding is lost because you are
Tx:10.31  God created as yourself without love. And since what He created is  part of Him, you are denying Him His place in His own altar.
Tx:10.33  and your own Soul must be unknown to you. Every altar to God is  part of your Soul because the light He created is one with Him. Would

Tx:10.90  truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit, who will teach you that, as  part of God, deceit in you is impossible. When you perceive yourself
Tx:11.3  is the Holy Spirit's judgment, it requires no effort at all on your  part. Every loving thought is true. Everything else is an appeal for
Tx:11.37  it is afraid to find. The search is inevitable because the ego is  part of your mind, and because of its source, the ego is not wholly
Tx:11.55 You do not want the world. The only thing of value in it is whatever  part of it you look upon with love. This gives it the only reality it
Tx:11.62 Everyone in the world must play his  part in the redemption of the world to recognize that the world has
Tx:11.75  to your Father. That is why the undoing of guilt is an essential  part of the Holy Spirit's teaching. For as long as you feel guilty,
Tx:12.52  wholeness, as I am calling you to join with me. Every voice has a  part in the song of redemption, the hymn of gladness and thanksgiving
Tx:12.62  for help or not to hear the cries of pain that rise to it from every  part of this strange world you made but do not want. The only effort
Tx:12.76  You travel but in dreams while safe at home. Give thanks to every  part of you that you have taught how to remember you. Thus does the
Tx:13.7  the Holy Spirit attune you to reality. The Holy Spirit knows your  part in the redemption and who are seeking you and where to find
Tx:13.7  them. Knowledge is far beyond your individual concern. You, who are  part of it and all of it, need only realize that it is of the Father,
Tx:13.16  Remember always that it is impossible to condemn the Son of God in  part. Those whom you see as guilty become the witnesses to guilt in
Tx:13.30  love them all and equally. Love is not special. If you single out  part of the Sonship for your love, you are imposing guilt on all your
Tx:13.87  who belong to the First Cause, created by Him like unto Himself and  part of Him, are more than merely guiltless. The state of
Tx:14.5 The only  part of your mind that has reality is the part which links you still
Tx:14.5 The only part of your mind that has reality is the  part which links you still with God. Would you have all of it
Tx:14.6 Each one of you has a special  part to play in the Atonement, but the message given to each to share

Tx:14.14 The crucifixion has no  part in the Atonement. Only the resurrection became my part in it.
Tx:14.14  has no part in the Atonement. Only the resurrection became my  part in it. That is the symbol of the release from guilt by
Tx:14.45  but reflected to them here. God is no image, and His creations, as  part of Him, hold Him in them in truth. They do not merely reflect
Tx:14.64  from everything you have taught yourselves. How would you know? Your  part is very simple. You need only recognize that everything you
Tx:14.68  It is only because you think that you can run some little  part or deal with certain aspects of your lives alone that the
Tx:15.21 Start now to practice your little  part in separating out the holy instant. You will receive very
Tx:15.37  to join in any plan but His. I call you to fulfill your holy  part in the plan that He has given to the world for its release from
Tx:15.46  meeting them on your own terms. We said before that to limit love to  part of the Sonship is to bring guilt into your relationships and
Tx:15.51  is so fragmented that it frequently goes even further—one  part of one aspect suits its purposes, while it prefers different
Tx:15.56  and not suffer guilt. And it is equally impossible to condemn  part of a relationship and find peace within it. Under the Holy

Tx:15.85  the only perception you want, it is translated into knowledge by the  part which God Himself plays in the Atonement, for it is the only
Tx:15.98  relationships, in which you are both destroyer and destroyed in  part, but with the idea of being able to be neither completely. And
Tx:15.104  for you endowed it with fear and tried to cast it out though it was  part of you. Who can perceive part of himself as loathsome and live
Tx:15.104  and tried to cast it out though it was part of you. Who can perceive  part of himself as loathsome and live within himself in peace? And
Tx:15.111 I give you to the Holy Spirit as  part of myself. I know that you will be released, unless I want to
Tx:16.3 Your  part is only to remember this—you do not want anything you value to
Tx:16.5  the fact that He does know. You are not sure that He will do His  part because you have never yet done yours completely. You will not
Tx:16.9 What you give through Him is for the whole Sonship, not for  part of it. Leave Him His function, for He will fulfill it if you but
Tx:16.10  are at all, their attributes would have to be miraculous, being  part of them.
Tx:16.11  fragment and then to be concerned about the truth of just a little  part of the whole. And this is but a way of avoiding or looking away
Tx:16.11  to think of miracles is this: You do not understand them, either in  part or whole. Yet you have done them. Therefore, your understanding

Tx:16.12  it. The recognition of the part as whole and of the whole in every  part is perfectly natural. For it is the way God thinks, and what is

Tx:16.66 Nothing you seek to strengthen in the special relationship is really  part of you. And you cannot keep part of the thought system which
Tx:16.66  the special relationship is really part of you. And you cannot keep  part of the thought system which taught you it was real and
Tx:17.4  it to one teacher and some to another. And so you learn to deal with  part of truth in one way and in another way the other part. To
Tx:17.4  to deal with part of truth in one way and in another way the other  part. To fragment truth is to destroy it by rendering it meaningless.
Tx:17.7  your heart seem to sing with joy has ever brought you even a little  part of the happiness this sight will bring you. For you will see the
Tx:17.22  relationship. For the Creator of the one relationship has left no  part of it without Himself.
Tx:17.23 This is the only  part of the relationship the Holy Spirit sees because He knows that
Tx:17.31 The ego is hyperalert to threat, and the  part of your mind into which the ego was accepted is very anxious to
Tx:17.31  they are supposed to protect. The separation has nothing in it, no  part, no “reason,” and no attribute that is not insane. And its
Tx:17.31  and no attribute that is not insane. And its “protection” is  part of it, as insane as the whole. The special relationship, which

Tx:17.42  through His ascendance. What He has given is His. It shines in every  part of Him as in the whole. The whole reality of your relationship
Tx:17.49  from your distress only by getting rid of each other. You need not  part entirely if you choose not to do so. But you must exclude major
Tx:17.62  goal establishes the fact that everyone involved in it will play his  part in its accomplishment. This is inevitable. No one will fail in
Tx:17.65  of the problem but will make solution impossible. For if you shift  part of the problem elsewhere, the meaning of the problem must be
Tx:17.69  to truth. If you lack faith in anyone to fulfill, and perfectly, his  part in any situation dedicated in advance to truth, your dedication
Tx:17.71  your whole relationship in every aspect and complete in every  part. You can leave nothing of yourself outside it and keep the
Tx:17.78  accepted the cause of his awakening as yours. You have assumed your  part in his redemption, and you are now fully responsible to him.
Tx:18.4  it, and every special relationship which you have ever made is  part of it.
Tx:18.6  truth brought to this could only remain within in quiet and take no  part in all the mad projection by which this world was made. Call it
Tx:18.38  Give Him but what He asks, that you may learn how little is your  part and how great is His.
Tx:18.42  before you ask the Holy Spirit's help. That is His function. Your  part is only to offer Him a little willingness to let Him remove all
Tx:18.42  your little faith, joined with His understanding, He will build your  part in the Atonement and make sure that you fulfill it easily. And
Tx:18.59  else in which your mind enlarges to encompass it. It becomes  part of you as you unite with it. And both become whole as neither is
Tx:18.72  to keep you apart from Him. The body is a tiny fence around a little  part of a glorious and complete idea. It draws a circle, infinitely
Tx:18.73  against the universe. This fragment of your mind is such a tiny  part of it that, could you but appreciate the whole, you would see
Tx:18.76  to the sun and ocean your Self continues, unmindful that this tiny  part regards itself as you. It is not missing; it could not exist if
Tx:18.77  whole, which offers all its happiness and deep content to every  part. The little aspect which you think you set apart is no exception.
Tx:18.81  aspect which you tried to hide from Heaven straight into Heaven. No  part of love calls on the whole in vain. No Son of God remains
Tx:18.84  error must be corrected at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny  part of yourself, the little thought that seems split off and
Tx:18.85 This is the little  part of you, you think you stole from Heaven. Give it back to Heaven.
Tx:19.6  to both is to set up a goal forever impossible to attain, for  part of it is sought through the body, thought of as a means for
Tx:19.6  as a means for seeking out reality through attack, while the other  part would heal and therefore calls upon the mind and not the body.
Tx:19.11 Faith is the opposite of fear, as much a  part of love as fear is of attack. Faith is the acknowledgment of
Tx:19.17  thus the mind is guilty and will forever so remain unless a mind not  part of it can give it absolution. Sin calls for punishment as error
Tx:19.25  cannot be corrected and will be forever desirable. As an essential  part of what the ego thinks you are, you will always want it. And
Tx:19.31  must have extended Himself, and it is impossible that what is  part of Him is totally unlike the rest. If sin is real, God must be
Tx:19.33  it and give His Son a will apart from His and stronger. And each  part of God's fragmented creation would have a different will,
Tx:19.48  this little wisp is lifted up and carried away, never to return, and  part with it in gladness, not regret. For it is nothing in itself and
Tx:19.68 Your little  part is but to give the Holy Spirit the whole idea of sacrifice. And
Tx:19.81  of sin, the pride of guilt, the sepulcher of separation—all are  part of your unrecognized dedication to death. The glitter of guilt
Tx:20.33  is not of you, nor need you be concerned with anything except the  part that has been given you to learn. For He Who knows the rest will
Tx:20.33  to it without your help. But think not that He does not need your  part to help Him with the rest. For in your part lies all of it,
Tx:20.33  He does not need your part to help Him with the rest. For in your  part lies all of it, without which is no part complete, nor is the
Tx:20.33  with the rest. For in your part lies all of it, without which is no  part complete, nor is the whole completed without your part. The ark
Tx:20.33  which is no part complete, nor is the whole completed without your  part. The ark of peace is entered two by two, yet the beginning of
Tx:20.34  no more leave one of them outside than I could leave you and forget  part of myself.
Tx:21.8  place or anything particular. But you remember from just this little  part how lovely was the song, how wonderful the setting where you
Tx:21.11  of him who knows his Father. Here is the memory of what you are—a  part of this, with all of it within and joined to all as surely as
Tx:21.43  the ego. A holy relationship is one in which you join with what is  part of you in truth. And your belief in sin has been already shaken,
Tx:21.44  ego would not hear. The Holy Spirit's purpose was accepted by the  part of your mind the ego knows not of. No more did you. And yet this
Tx:21.44  of your mind the ego knows not of. No more did you. And yet this  part with which you now identify is not afraid to look upon itself.
Tx:21.45 This  part has seen your brother and recognized him perfectly since time
Tx:21.47 And now the ego is afraid. Yet what it hears in terror, the other  part hears as the sweetest music—the song it longed to hear since
Tx:21.54  and in this your will must be included. Thus, there must be a  part of you that knows His Will and shares it. It is not meaningful
Tx:21.55 Oh yes, you know this and more than this alone. Yet any  part of knowledge threatens dissociation as much as all of it. And
Tx:21.55  dissociation as much as all of it. And all of it will come with any  part. Here is the part you can accept. What reason points to you can
Tx:21.55  as all of it. And all of it will come with any part. Here is the  part you can accept. What reason points to you can see because the
Tx:21.57 The  part of mind where reason lies was dedicated by your will in union
Tx:21.63  continuous? And if there is nothing in between, how can what enters  part be kept away from other parts? Reason would tell you this. But
Tx:22.6  would understand. The brain interprets to the body, of which it is a  part. But what it says, you cannot understand. Yet you have listened
Tx:22.13  God did not entrust His Son to the unworthy. Nothing but what is  part of Him is worthy of being joined. Nor is it possible that
Tx:22.13  Him is worthy of being joined. Nor is it possible that anything not  part of Him can join. Communication must have been restored to those
Tx:22.23 There is no  part of Heaven you can take and weave into illusions. Nor is there
Tx:22.38  far can make the wrong decision, but he can delay. And there is no  part of the journey that seems more hopeless and futile than standing
Tx:22.55  you accepted in your relationship corrects the error and lays a  part of Heaven in its place. How blessed are you who let this gift be
Tx:22.55  in its place. How blessed are you who let this gift be given! Each  part of Heaven that you bring is given you. And every empty place in
Tx:22.58  there. Through this releasing is the world released. This is your  part in bringing peace. For you have asked what is your function here
Tx:22.62  from your Creator. For only then would it be possible to attack a  part of the creation without the whole, the Son without the Father,
Tx:23.5  but help him rise above it and perceive the light of which he is a  part. Your innocence will light the way to his, and so is yours
Tx:23.6 Nothing around you but is  part of you. Look on it lovingly, and see the light of Heaven in it.
Tx:23.6  and everything you once thought sinful now will be reinterpreted as  part of Heaven. How beautiful it is to walk clean and redeemed and
Tx:23.10  as nature roaring at the wind in anger and proclaiming that it is  part of itself no more.
Tx:23.11  this and make it true? Nor is it up to you to say what shall be  part of you and what is kept apart. The war against yourself was
Tx:23.12  not what form they take. What made them is insane, and they remain  part of what made them. Madness holds out no menace to reality and
Tx:23.12  threaten it in any way. And the reality which they deny is not a  part of them.
Tx:23.13 What you remember is a  part of you. For you must be as God created you. Truth does not fight
Tx:23.14  power and nothingness. There is nothing you could attack that is not  part of you. And by attacking it, you make two illusions of yourself
Tx:23.21  brought to truth instead of to each other, they merely disappear. No  part of nothing can be more resistant to the truth than can another.
Tx:23.43  is no compromise of any kind. To compromise is to accept but  part of what you want—to take a little and give up the rest.
Tx:23.50  is raised above the battleground, in it no more. This is your  part—to realize that murder in any form is not your will. The
Tx:23.51  in the midst of it, it does seem real. Here you have chosen to be  part of it. Here murder is your choice. Yet from above, the choice is
Tx:24.14  never one, each one in exile from himself and Him of Whom they are a  part. Nor do they love the Oneness Which created them as one with
Tx:24.21  your specialness. He is in need of your acceptance of himself as  part of you, as you for his. You are alike to God as God is to
Tx:24.21  as God is to Himself. He is not special, for He would not keep one  part of what He is unto Himself, not given to His Son but kept for
Tx:24.22  from what it is and must forever be. You are your brother's;  part of love was not denied to him. But can it be that you have lost
Tx:24.49  him, his Father waits for your acknowledgment that He created you as  part of Him.
Tx:24.50  could be no universe and no reality. For what God wills is whole and  part of Him because His Will is One. Nothing alive that is not part
Tx:24.50  and part of Him because His Will is One. Nothing alive that is not  part of Him, and nothing is but is alive in Him. Your brother's
Tx:24.55  your peace but in his holiness? And where is God Himself but in that  part of Him He set forever in your brother's holiness that you might
Tx:24.56  that has never been begun and needs no end. What never was is not a  part of you. Yet you will think it is until you realize that it is
Tx:24.56  of you. Yet you will think it is until you realize that it is not a  part of him who stands beside you. He is the mirror of yourself
Tx:24.58  you? Then see him not as prisoner to them. It cannot be what governs  part of God holds not for all the rest. You place yourself under the
Tx:24.58  how great the love of God for you must be that He has given you a  part of Him to save from pain and give you happiness. And never doubt
Tx:24.58  specialness will disappear before the Will of God, Who loves each  part of Him with equal love [and care]. The Christ in you can see
Tx:25.6  anything the purpose in your mind upholdeth not. Perception is a  part of what it is your purpose to behold, for means and end are
Tx:25.8  been separate, and Christ abides within your understanding in the  part of you that shares His Father's Will. The Holy Spirit links the
Tx:25.8  you that shares His Father's Will. The Holy Spirit links the other  part, the tiny mad desire to be separate, different, and special, to
Tx:25.10  of time and place as if they were discrete, for while you think that  part of you is separate, the concept of a oneness joined as one is
Tx:25.17 The Holy Spirit is the frame God set around the  part of Him that you would see as separate. Yet its frame is joined
Tx:25.20  perfect Father that He is. And so His joy is made complete when any  part of Him joins in His praise, to share His joy. This brother is
Tx:25.46  each He gives a special function in salvation he alone can fill—a  part for only him. Nor is the plan complete until he finds his
Tx:25.46  plan complete until he finds his special function and fulfills the  part assigned to him to make himself complete within a world where
Tx:25.48  still much to do. And each must do what is allotted him, for on his  part does all the plan depend. He has a special part in time, for so
Tx:25.48  him, for on his part does all the plan depend. He has a special  part in time, for so he chose, and choosing it, he made it for
Tx:25.48  there at all.] And this is seen and understood as each one takes his  part in its undoing, as he did in making it. He has the means for
Tx:25.58  Nor is he left without escape from madness, for he has a special  part in everyone's escape. He can no more be left outside without a
Tx:25.61  and direction to the plan in which your special function has a  part. For here your special function is made whole because it shares
Tx:25.66  the victim seen as partly you, with someone else by far the greater  part. And in the total cost, the greater his, the less is yours. And
Tx:26.1  body separate from yours is the expression of a wish to see a little  part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the world, and you will
Tx:26.2  never reach and join with what is locked away within the wall. Each  part must sacrifice the other part to keep itself complete. For if
Tx:26.2  is locked away within the wall. Each part must sacrifice the other  part to keep itself complete. For if they joined, each one would lose
Tx:26.3  sacrifice of all the rest. And all the rest must lose this little  part, remaining incomplete to keep its own identity intact. In this
Tx:26.26  sin left vacant do they join as one, in gladness recognizing what is  part of them has not been kept apart and separate.
Tx:26.39  Resurrection has come to take its place. And now you are a  part of resurrection, not of death. No past illusions have the power
Tx:26.41  the true existence of the here and now. The real world is the second  part of the hallucination time and death are real and have existence
Tx:26.49  of time do not affect its workings. It is in this world, but not a  part of it. For it is real and dwells where all reality must be.
Tx:26.60  wills you learn what always has been true—that He created you as  part of Him, and this must still be true because ideas leave not
Tx:27.26  correction has been placed outside yourself on one who cannot be a  part of you while this perception lasts. What is condemned can never
Tx:27.26  it still. This is your brother, focus of your hate, unworthy to be  part of you and thus outside yourself—the other half which is
Tx:27.28  And each forgives the other, that he may accept his other half as  part of him.
Tx:27.52  Who will guarantee that they remain unviolated and unlimited. Your  part is merely to apply what He has taught you to yourself, and He
Tx:27.57  could contain what you believe it holds within. Nor could it tell a  part of God Himself what it should feel and what its function is. Yet
Tx:27.65  recognize their common need. For each one thinks that if he does his  part, the condemnation of the world will rest on him. And it is this
Tx:27.65  world will rest on him. And it is this that he perceives to be his  part in its deliverance. Vengeance must have a focus. Otherwise is
Tx:27.67 The  part you play in salvaging the world from condemnation is your own
Tx:27.68  He cannot doubt his dreams' reality because he does not see the  part he plays in making them and making them seem real.
Tx:27.69  can waken from a dream the world is dreaming for him. He becomes a  part of someone else's dream. He cannot choose to waken from a dream
Tx:27.71  dream in secret. They are one. The dreaming of the world is but a  part of your own dream you gave away and saw as if it were its start
Tx:27.71  your secret dream, which you do not perceive, although it caused the  part you see and do not doubt is real. How could you doubt it while
Tx:27.81  you do? Then let us merely look upon the dream's beginning, for the  part you see is but the second part, whose cause lies in the first.
Tx:27.81  upon the dream's beginning, for the part you see is but the second  part, whose cause lies in the first. No one asleep and dreaming in
Tx:27.83 A timelessness in which is time made real; a  part of God which can attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy;
Tx:28.4  But only your desire made the link, and only you have held it to a  part of time where guilt appears to linger still.
Tx:28.18  and dreamed a dream in which you were an alien to yourself and but a  part of someone else's dream.
Tx:28.29  joint decision to be sick. If you withhold agreement and accept the  part you play in making sickness real, the other mind cannot project
Tx:28.38  is a way of finding certainty right here and now. Refuse to be a  part of fearful dreams whatever form they take, for you will lose
Tx:28.41 Be certain, if you do your  part, he will do his, for he will join you where you stand. Call not
Tx:28.41  believe that it is your reality as well as his. You cannot do his  part, but this you do when you become a passive figure in his dream
Tx:28.45  holy is the smallest grain of sand when it is recognized as being  part of the completed picture of God's Son! The forms the broken
Tx:28.45  And every aspect of the Son of God is just the same as every other  part.
Tx:28.48  and perceive that he is not the dream he made. And so he cannot be a  part of yours, from which you both are free. Forgiveness separates
Tx:28.49  which seems to be your enemy, and will attack your brother as a  part of what you hate. There is no compromise. You are your Self or
Tx:28.60  Himself, and there is no one who could be untrue to what He wills as  part of what He is. The promise that there is no gap between Himself
Tx:28.61 The beautiful relationship you have with all your brothers is a  part of you because it is a part of God Himself. Are you not sick if
Tx:28.61  you have with all your brothers is a part of you because it is a  part of God Himself. Are you not sick if you deny yourself your
Tx:29.15  of the living God—His Son have life and every living thing be  part of him, and nothing else have life. What you have given “life”
Tx:29.17  for it is you of whom the sacrifice is asked? For He is told that  part of Him belongs to Him no longer. He must sacrifice your self,
Tx:29.17  what is gone from Him becomes your god, protecting you from being  part of Him.
Tx:29.24  He is himself, but not himself alone. And as his Father lost not  part of Him in your creation, so the light in him is brighter still
Tx:29.30  to you. And do not try to hurt him when he fails to take the  part which you assigned to him in what you dream your life was meant
Tx:29.32  upon the Son of God and would behold him waken and be glad. He is a  part of you, and you of him because he is his Father's Son and not
Tx:29.33  was created that you might be whole, for only the complete can be a  part of God's completion, Which created you.
Tx:29.44  about himself and seeks for something more than everything, as if a  part of it were separated off and found where all the rest of it is
Tx:29.60  same to every living thing as well. And thus is every living thing a  part of you, as of Himself. No idol can establish you as more than

W1:100.5  as to our vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play another  part instead of what has been assigned to you by God. Thus do you

W1:152.2  If you have the gift of everything, can loss be real? Can pain be  part of peace, or grief of joy? Can fear and sickness enter in a mind

W1:154.1  decision off, and to delay commitment to our function. It is not our  part to judge our worth, nor can we know what role is best for us;
W1:154.1  we can do within a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety. Our  part is cast in Heaven, not in hell. And what we think is weakness

W1:154.7  by giving all the messages away. The messengers of God perform their  part by their acceptance of His messages as for themselves and show
W1:154.9  who are now the messengers of God receive His messages, for that is  part of your appointed role. He has not failed to offer what you
W1:154.9  to offer what you need, nor has it been left unaccepted. Yet another  part of your appointed task is yet to be accomplished. He Who has
W1:156.3  lives. What lives is holy as Himself because what shares His life is  part of Holiness and could no more be sinful than the sun could
W1:160.1  you are unknown to you. What is your Self remains an alien to the  part of you which thinks that it is real but different from yourself.
W1:161.2 Complete abstraction is the natural condition of the mind. But  part of it is now unnatural. It does not look on everything as one.
W1:163.9  we share with You and with all living things, to be like You and  part of You forever. We accept Your thoughts as ours, and our will is
W1:164.5 This is the day when vain imaginings  part like a curtain to reveal what lies beyond them. Now is what is
W1:169.5  words are meaningless. There are no lips to speak them and no  part of mind sufficiently distinct to feel that it is now aware of
W1:169.8  as it always was; forever to remain as it is now. We merely take the  part assigned long since and fully recognized as perfectly fulfilled
W1:169.10 Suffice it, then, that you have work to do to play your  part. The ending must remain obscure to you until your part is done.

W1:189.8  He Who knows the way to you? You need not know the way to Him. Your  part is simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed
W1:189.8  and God the Father to be quietly removed forever. God will do His  part in joyful and immediate response. Ask and receive. But do not

W1:190.3  is no pain. If pain is real, there is no God. For vengeance is not  part of love. And fear, denying love and using pain to prove that God

W1:194.6  to give as much consistent effort as you can to make it be a  part of you. As it becomes a thought which rules your mind, a habit
W1:197.4  matter if another thinks your gifts unworthy. In his mind there is a  part that joins with yours in thanking you. It does not matter if
W1:197.7  to all They have created has no end, for gratitude remains a  part of love.
W1:198.2  It is not a law that knowledge understands, for freedom is a  part of knowledge. To condemn is thus impossible in truth. What seems

W2:238.1  would give Your Son to me in certainty that He is safe Who still is  part of You and yet is mine because He is my Self.
W2:240.1  We are the Son of God. There is no fear in us, for we are each a  part of Love Itself.
W2:243.2  honor all its parts, in which I am included. We are one because each  part contains Your memory, and truth must shine in all of us as one.
W2:244.2  come to threaten God Himself or make afraid what will forever be a  part of Him?
W2:247.2  Your Sons. Your Fatherhood created them and gave them all to me as  part of You and my own Self as well. Today I honor You through them,
W2:248.1  let me be as faithful in disowning falsity. Whatever suffers is not  part of me. What grieves is not myself. What is in pain is but
W2:260.1  I did. Yet as Your thought, I have not left my Source, remaining  part of What created me. Your Son, my Father, calls on You today. Let
W2:262.1  as a stranger to his Father, nor as stranger to myself. For he is  part of me and I of him, and we are part of You Who are our Source,

W2:WIC.3  at peace within the Heaven of your holy mind. This is the only  part of you that has reality in truth. The rest is dreams. Yet will

W2:283.2  with God our Father as our only Source and everything created  part of us. And so we offer blessing to all things, uniting lovingly

W2:318.1  parts have but one purpose and one aim? How could there be a single  part that stands aside or one of more or less importance than the

W2:350.1 What we forgive becomes a  part of us as we perceive ourselves. The Son of God incorporates all
W2:WAI.3 We are the bringers of salvation. We accept our  part as saviors of the world, which through our joint forgiveness is
W2:WAI.3  the gates of Heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our  part. We are concerned only with giving welcome to the truth.
W2:FL.3  our own. For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as  part of God Himself. And thus His memory is given back completely and

Tx:12.48  and plan for it accordingly. Yet by doing so, you are aligning  past and future and not allowing the miracle, which could intervene
Tx:12.49 The miracle enables you to see your brother without his  past and so perceive him as born again. His errors are all past, and
Tx:12.49  his past and so perceive him as born again. His errors are all  past, and by perceiving him without them, you are releasing him. And
Tx:12.49  by perceiving him without them, you are releasing him. And since his  past is yours, you share in this release. Let no dark cloud out of

Tx:13.13  You will accept your treasure, and if you place your faith in the  past, the future will be like it. Whatever you hold as dear, you
Tx:13.14  You do not believe the Son of God is guiltless because you see the  past and see him not. When you condemn a brother, you are saying, “I

Tx:13.23  but the source lies in the past, you are not looking inward. The  past is not in you. Your weird associations to it have no meaning in
Tx:13.23  all. Can you expect to use your brothers as a means to “solve” the  past and still to see them as they really are? Salvation is not found
Tx:13.23  problems which are not there. You wanted not salvation in the  past. Would you impose your idle wishes on the present and hope to
Tx:13.24  then, to be not as you were. Use no relationship to hold you to the  past, but with each one each day be born again. A minute, even less,
Tx:13.24  born again. A minute, even less, will be enough to free you from the  past and give your mind in peace over to the Atonement. When everyone

Tx:13.36  Nothing destructive ever was or will be. The war, the guilt, the  past are gone as one into the unreality from which they came.
Tx:13.62  All this lies in the Holy Spirit's plan to free you from the  past and open up the way to freedom for you. For truth is true. What
Tx:14.38  lay in the decision to be not as you were. Thus, truth was made  past, and the present was dedicated to illusion. And the past, too,
Tx:14.38  was made past, and the present was dedicated to illusion. And the  past, too, was changed and interposed between what always was and
Tx:14.38  too, was changed and interposed between what always was and now. The  past which you remember never was and represents only the denial of
Tx:14.60  forever from everything that you have taught yourselves in the  past by showing you only what you are now. Learning has been
Tx:14.60  before its effects are manifest. Learning is therefore in the  past, but its influence determines the present by giving it whatever
Tx:14.60  can help you understand the present or teach you how to undo the  past. Your past is what you have taught yourselves. Let it all go. Do
Tx:14.60  you understand the present or teach you how to undo the past. Your  past is what you have taught yourselves. Let it all go. Do not
Tx:14.65  And so I do not know how to respond to it. And I will not use my own  past learning as the light to guide me now.
Tx:14.69  has corrected already. They do not exist in His Mind at all. For the  past binds Him not and therefore binds not you. He does not see time

Tx:15.6  ego allows anyone to look upon with some amount of equanimity is the  past. And even there its only value is that it is no more.
Tx:15.7  And how terrifying! For underneath its fanatical insistence that the  past and future be the same is hidden a far more insidious threat to
Tx:15.9  undo all of this now. Fear is not of the present but only of the  past and future, which do not exist. There is no fear in the present
Tx:15.9  in the present when each instant stands clear and separated from the  past, without its shadow reaching out into the future. Each instant
Tx:15.9  a clean, untarnished birth, in which the Son of God emerges from the  past into the present. And the present extends forever. It is so
Tx:15.10 This lesson takes no time. For what is time without a  past and future? It has taken time to misguide you so completely, but
Tx:15.10  of it as all there is of time. Nothing can reach you here out of the  past, and it is here that you are completely absolved, completely
Tx:15.16  gently in Him. In the blessed instant, you will let go all your  past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the whole
Tx:15.35  to you. You must decide on when it is. Delay it not. For beyond the  past and future, in which you will not find it, it stands in

Tx:15.46 The past is the ego's chief learning device, for it is in the  past that you learned to define your own needs and acquired methods
Tx:15.47  special aspects of the Sonship can give you more than others? The  past has taught you this. Yet the holy instant teaches you it is not
Tx:15.52  on no one to make them different. Without the values from the  past, you would see them all the same and like yourself. Nor would
Tx:15.53  instant parallels His knowing by bringing all perception out of the  past, thus removing the frame of reference you have built by which to
Tx:15.53  timelessness lies only here. For in the holy instant, free of the  past, you see that love is in you, and you have no need to look
Tx:15.64  as is truth. There is no exclusion in the holy instant because the  past is gone and with it goes the whole basis for exclusion. Without
Tx:16.3  know what healing is. All you have learned of empathy is from the  past. And there is nothing from the past that you would share, for
Tx:16.3  learned of empathy is from the past. And there is nothing from the  past that you would share, for there is nothing there that you would
Tx:16.3  is nothing there that you would keep. Do not use empathy to make the  past real and so perpetuate it. Step gently aside and let the healing

Tx:16.71  No special relationship is experienced in the present. Shades of the  past envelop it and make it what it is. It has no meaning in the

Tx:16.71  this purpose could not be fulfilled in the present, but only in the  past.
Tx:16.72  underestimate the intensity of the ego's drive for vengeance on the  past. It is completely savage and completely insane. For the ego
Tx:16.72  its hate are fantasies of your destruction. For the ego holds the  past against you, and in your escape from the past, it sees itself
Tx:16.72  For the ego holds the past against you, and in your escape from the  past, it sees itself deprived of the vengeance it believes that you

Tx:16.75  vengeance for the past. In the holy instant, it is accepted that the  past is gone, and with its passing the drive for vengeance has been
Tx:16.78  illusions you have held against your brothers. Their reality has no  past, and only illusions can be forgiven. God holds nothing against
Tx:17.12  all illusions which had twisted your perception and fixed it on the  past. The smallest leaf becomes a thing of wonder and a blade of

Tx:17.20  has been forgotten, what remains is eternal. And the transformed  past is made like the present. No longer does the past conflict with
Tx:17.20  the transformed past is made like the present. No longer does the  past conflict with now. This continuity extends the present by
Tx:17.20  Who gives it life and beauty. That is why Atonement centers on the  past, which is the source of separation, and where it must be undone.
Tx:17.23  unholy by seeing it where it is not and as it is not. Give the  past to Him Who can change your mind about it for you. But first be
Tx:17.23  for you. But first be sure you fully realize what you have made the  past to represent and why.
Tx:17.24 In brief, the  past is now your justification for entering into a continuing, unholy
Tx:17.24  to which the present is referred for meaning is an illusion of the  past in which those elements which fit the purpose of the unholy
Tx:17.24  all the rest let go. And what is thus let go is all the truth the  past could ever offer to the present as witnesses for its reality,
Tx:17.59  have meant. And you will be wrong. Not only is your judgment in the  past, but you have no idea what should happen. No goal was set with
Tx:17.70  this in perfect safety. Yet for all its might, so great it reaches  past the stars and to the universe that lies beyond them, your little
Tx:17.71  what you really blame him for is what you did to him. It is not his  past but yours you hold against him. And you lack faith in him
Tx:17.72  or will ever enter. And every situation was thus made free of the  past, which would have made it purposeless.
Tx:18.30  not time worry you, for all the fear that you experience is really  past. Time has been readjusted to help us do together what your

Tx:18.31  extend back into darkness and forward unto God to shine away the  past and so make room for His eternal Presence, in which everything
Tx:18.40  is not only possible but has already happened. And that is why the  past has gone. It never happened in reality. Only in your minds,
Tx:18.60  seeming quality. Time is not relevant; it can occur with something  past, present, or anticipated. The “something” can be anything and
Tx:18.65  remembered or anticipated, but never experienced just now. Only its  past and future make it seem real. Time controls it entirely, for sin
Tx:18.65  attraction is imaginary and therefore must be thought of in the  past or in the future.
Tx:18.66  reservation unless just for an instant you are willing to see no  past or future. You cannot prepare for it without placing it in the
Tx:18.69  your mind. Here is the quick and open door through which you slip  past centuries of effort and escape from time. This is the way in
Tx:18.69  sin loses all attraction right now. For here is time denied and  past and future gone. Who need do nothing has no need for time. To do
Tx:18.92  Let your Guide teach you their unsubstantial nature as He leads you  past them, for beneath them is a world of light whereon they cast no
Tx:19.10  therefore share it. By faith you offer the gift of freedom from the  past, which you received. You do not use anything your brother has
Tx:19.10  condemn him now. You freely choose to overlook his errors, looking  past all barriers between your self and his and seeing them as one.
Tx:19.12  upon himself. Faith sees him only now because it looks not to the  past to judge him, but would see in him only what it would see in
Tx:19.23  the “truth” from which escape will always be impossible. This is his  past, his present, and his future. For he has somehow managed to

Tx:19.49  which it would unite in holy union and completion. As love must look  past fear, so must fear see love not. For love contains the end of
Tx:19.64  through to bless the tired world! Can it be difficult for us to walk  past barriers together when you have joined the limitless? The end of

W1:7.9  so on? Are not your aesthetic reactions to the cup, too, based on  past experiences? How else would you know whether or not this kind of
W1:7.9  it? What do you know about this cup except what you learned in the  past? You would have no idea what this cup is except for your past
W1:7.9  in the past? You would have no idea what this cup is except for your  past learning. Do you, then, really see it?
W1:7.11 I see only the  past in this pencil. I see only the past in this shoe. I see only the
W1:7.11 I see only the past in this pencil. I see only the  past in this shoe. I see only the past in this hand. I see only the

W1:8.1 This idea is, of course, the reason why you see only the  past. No one really sees anything. He sees only his thoughts
W1:8.1  his thoughts projected outward. The mind's preoccupation with the  past is the cause of the total misconception about time from which
W1:8.2 The only wholly true thought one can hold about the  past is that it is not here. To think about it at all is therefore to
W1:8.2  few minds have realized what is actually entailed in picturing the  past or in anticipating the future. The mind is actually blank when

W1:41.4  all you see? Today we will make our first real attempt to get  past this dark and heavy cloud and to go through it to the light
W1:41.5  to think of anything. Try instead to get a sense of turning inward,  past all the idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply
W1:41.6  and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach  past all these things. You are trying to leave appearances and
W1:44.7  go every kind of interference and intrusion by quietly sinking  past them. Your mind cannot be stopped in this unless you choose to
W1:45.8 Then try to go  past all the unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your mind, and
W1:47.4 Today we will try to reach  past your own weakness to the Source of real strength. Four
W1:47.6 Now try to slip  past all concerns related to your own sense of inadequacy. It is

W1:52.3  I condemn the world I look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the  past against everyone and everything, making them my “enemies.” When
W1:52.3  I am, I will bless everyone and everything I see. There will be no  past and therefore no “enemies.” And I will look with love on all
W1:52.4 [8] My mind is preoccupied with  past thoughts. I see only my own thoughts, and my mind is preoccupied
W1:52.4  I see only my own thoughts, and my mind is preoccupied with the  past. What, then, can I see as it is? Let me remember that I look on
W1:52.4  What, then, can I see as it is? Let me remember that I look on the  past to prevent the present from dawning on my mind. Let me
W1:52.4  that I am trying to use time against God. Let me learn to give the  past away, realizing that in so doing I am giving up nothing.
W1:52.5  I can see only what is now. The choice is not whether to see the  past or the present: it is whether to see or not. What I have chosen
W1:56.4  let the door behind this world be opened for me that I may look  past it to the world that reflects the Love of God.
W1:56.5  and in everything forever. And we who are part of Him will yet look  past all appearances and recognize the truth beyond them all.
W1:66.3 Today we will try to go  past this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the truth about

W1:67.6  to the truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you will succeed in going  past that and through the interval of thoughtlessness to the
W1:69.2  get in touch with the salvation of the world. We are trying to see  past the veil of darkness that keeps it concealed. We are trying to
W1:69.5  there is to see. Therefore you do not attempt to go through them and  past them, which is the only way in which you would be really
W1:69.6  much you want to reach the light in you today—now. Determine to go  past the clouds. Reach out and touch them in your mind; brush them
W1:70.10  of the external places where you have looked for salvation in the  past—in other people, in possessions, in various situations and
W1:70.12  it is in them you have been looking for it. It is not there. It is  past the clouds and in the light beyond. Remember that you will have
W1:75.3  passing of the old and the beginning of the new. No shadows from the  past remain to darken our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers
W1:75.7 Dwell not upon the  past today. Keep a completely open mind, washed of all past ideas and
W1:75.7  not upon the past today. Keep a completely open mind, washed of all  past ideas and clean of every concept you have made. You have
W1:75.11  on this day there is a new beginning. Without the darkness of the  past upon your eyes, you cannot fail to see today. And what you see
W1:78.12  everyone you meet and to the ones you think of or remember from the  past, allow the role of savior to be given that you may share it with
W1:92.4 Strength overlooks these things by seeing  past appearances. It keeps its steady gaze upon the light that lies
W1:94.6  to reach this goal except to lay all idols and self-images aside, go  past the long list of attributes, both “good” and “bad,” you have
W1:106.3  not afraid today to circumvent the voices of the world; walk lightly  past their meaningless persuasion. Hear them not. Be still today, and
W1:106.3  Hear them not. Be still today, and listen to the truth. Go  past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness
W1:106.11  And they will hear the holy Word you hear. And when the hour is  past, you will again release a thousand more who pause to ask that
W1:109.3  undismayed this thought will carry you through storms and strife,  past misery and pain, past loss and death, and onward to the
W1:109.3  will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain,  past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God. There is no
W1:109.5  concerns, no burdens, no anxiety, no pain, no fear of future, and no  past regrets. In timelessness you rest, while time goes by without
W1:110.2  any mind has made at any time or place. It is enough to heal the  past and make the future free. It is enough to let the present be
W1:110.3  one to let redemption come to light the world and free it from the  past.
W1:110.4 In this one thought is all the  past undone; the present saved to quietly extend into a timeless
W1:127.9  learn. Let us give thanks today that we are spared a future like the  past. Today we leave the past behind us, never more to be remembered.
W1:127.9  today that we are spared a future like the past. Today we leave the  past behind us, never more to be remembered. And we raise our eyes
W1:127.9  our eyes upon a different present, where a future shines unlike the  past in every attribute.
W1:131.7  wait for Heaven? It is here today. Time is the great illusion; it is  past or in the future. Yet this cannot be, if it is where God wills
W1:131.7  where God wills His Son to be. How could the Will of God be in the  past or yet to happen? What He wills is now, without a past and
W1:131.7  God be in the past or yet to happen? What He wills is now, without a  past and wholly futureless. It is as far removed from time as is a
W1:131.15  sought; nothing before this door you really want, and only what lies  past it do you seek.
W1:131.17  approach this door some day and through His aid slip effortlessly  past it to the light. Today that day has come. Today God keeps His
W1:132.3 You free the  past from what you thought before. You free the future from all
W1:132.3  time. Here in the present is the world set free. For as you let the  past be lifted and release the future from your ancient fears, you
W1:134.3  and not illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain attempt to look  past what is there; to overlook the truth in an unfounded effort to
W1:135.2  it is this you do when you attempt to plan the future, activate the  past, or organize the present as you wish. You operate from the
W1:135.16  emphasis to be controlled by learning and experience obtained from  past events and previous beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it
W1:135.16  beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it rests on the idea the  past has taught enough to let the mind direct its future course.

W1:151.12  a part of anything you see. It stands beyond the body and the world,  past every witness for unholiness, within the Holy, holy as Itself.
W1:153.9 We look  past dreams today and recognize that we need no defense because we

W1:156.7  you have wasted many, many years on just this foolish thought. The  past is gone with all its fantasies. They keep you bound no longer.

W1:157.2  the door where learning ceases, and we catch a glimpse of what lies  past the highest reaches it can possibly attain. It leaves us there
W1:163.8  illusion. This the stand we take today. And it is given us to look  past death and see the life beyond.
W1:164.1  there—not in our sight, but in the eyes of Christ. He looks  past time and sees eternity as represented there. He hears the sounds
W1:165.6 Now is all doubting  past, the journey's end made certain, and salvation given you. Now is
W1:169.1  most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond the world entirely. It is  past learning yet the goal of learning, for grace cannot come until
W1:169.6  completely. It returns the mind into the endless present, where the  past and future cannot be conceived. It lies beyond salvation—past
W1:169.6  the past and future cannot be conceived. It lies beyond salvation— past all thought of time, forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ.
W1:169.9  things beyond and listen to words which explain what is to come is  past already. Yet what meaning can the words convey to those who
W1:I2.3  there, but you cannot accept its presence. So we now attempt to go  past all defenses for a little while each day. No more than this is
W1:181.1  to your awareness of the Self that lies beyond your own mistakes and  past his seeming sins as well as yours.
W1:181.2  faith receives its only sure support from what you see in others  past their sins. For their mistakes, if focused on, are witnesses to
W1:181.4 A major hazard to success has been involvement with your  past and future goals. You have been quite preoccupied with how
W1:181.4  will inevitably lose your way again. How could this matter? For the  past is gone, the future but imagined. These concerns are but
W1:181.5  lay these pointless limitations by a little while. We do not look to  past beliefs, and what we will believe will not intrude upon us now.
W1:181.6 So, for a little while, without regard to  past or future, should such blocks arise, we will transcend them with
W1:182.4  are a memory now so distorted that you merely hold a picture of a  past that never happened. Yet there is a Child in you Who seeks His
W1:189.7  is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one thought the  past has taught nor one belief you ever learned before from anything.
W1:194.4 God holds your future as He holds your  past and present. They are one to Him, and so they should be one to
W1:194.4  hands. And you will see by your experience that you have laid the  past and present in His hands as well because the past will punish
W1:194.4  you have laid the past and present in His hands as well because the  past will punish you no more and future dread will now be meaningless.
W1:194.5 Release the future. For the  past is gone, and what is present, freed from its bequest of grief
W1:196.3  you will see within today's idea the light of resurrection, looking  past all thoughts of crucifixion and of death to thoughts of
W1:198.4 Forgiveness is the only road that leads out of disaster,  past all suffering, and finally away from death. How could there be
W1:214.1 [194] I place the future in the hands of God. The  past is gone; the future is not yet. Now am I freed from both. For
W2:253.1  what I do not want to happen. This must I accept. For thus am I led  past this world to my creations, children of my Will, in Heaven where
W2:284.1  all thoughts that hurt. And I would go beyond these words today, go  past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance of the truth in

W2:288.1  His sins are in the past along with mine. And I am saved because the  past is gone. Let me not cherish it within my heart or I will lose
W2:289.1 Unless the  past is over in my mind, the real world must escape my sight. For I
W2:289.1  How can I then perceive the world forgiveness offers? This the  past was made to hide, for this the world that can be looked on only
W2:289.1  hide, for this the world that can be looked on only now. It has no  past. For what can be forgiven but the past, and if it is forgiven,

W2:289.2 Father, let me not look upon a  past that is not there. For You have offered me Your own replacement
W2:289.2  For You have offered me Your own replacement in a present world the  past has left untouched and free of sin. Here is the end of guilt.
W2:293.1 All fear is  past because its source is gone and all its thoughts gone with it.
W2:293.1  the world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming with all my  past mistakes oppressing it and showing me distorted forms of pain?
W2:293.2  of fear. There is a real world which the present holds safe from all  past mistakes. And I would see only this world before my eyes today.

W2:308.1  perception of what time is for. Time's purpose cannot be to keep the  past and future one. The only interval in which I can be saved from
W2:308.1  come to set me free. The birth of Christ is now, without a  past or future. He has come to give His present blessing to the
W2:314.1  perception of the world there comes a future very different from the  past. The future now is recognized as but extension of the present.

Tx:5.83  mind is stayed (or set) on Him,” a statement which means that God's  peace is set in the Holy Spirit because it is fixed on God. It is
Tx:5.83  fixed on God. It is also fixed in you. You, then, are fixed in the  peace of God. The concept of “fixation” is also a very helpful one
Tx:5.92  asks that you commend yours to Him. He wills to keep it in perfect  peace, because you are of one mind and spirit with Him. Excluding
Tx:5.95  at which the error was made and give it over to the Atonement in  peace. Say to yourselves the following as sincerely as you can,
Tx:5.96 I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at  peace. I made the decision myself, but I can also decide otherwise. I
Tx:5.96  otherwise. I will to decide otherwise, because I want to be at  peace. I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit will undo all
Tx:6.19  you are using it as a weapon for assault rather than as the call for  peace for which it was intended. The Apostles often misunderstood it
Tx:6.20  they never could have quoted me as saying, “I come not to bring  peace but a sword.” This is clearly the exact opposite of everything
Tx:6.25  this is the belief in separation. The wholeness of God, which is His  peace, cannot be appreciated except by a whole mind which recognizes
Tx:6.37  to Him and for which He must speak, because that is what He is. The  peace of God lies in that message, and so the peace of God lies in
Tx:6.37  is what He is. The peace of God lies in that message, and so the  peace of God lies in you.
Tx:6.38 The great  peace of the Kingdom shines in your mind forever, but it must shine
Tx:6.43  and keep you so, as others learn it of you. The only way to have  peace is to teach peace. By learning it through projection, it
Tx:6.43  as others learn it of you. The only way to have peace is to teach  peace. By learning it through projection, it becomes a part of what
Tx:6.56  of communication arose as the ego's voice. It could not shatter the  peace of God, but it could shatter yours. God did not blot it out,
Tx:6.75  you accept two thought systems which are in complete disagreement,  peace of mind is impossible. If you teach both, which you will surely
Tx:6.75  both, you are teaching conflict and learning it. Yet you do want  peace, or you would not have called upon the Voice for Peace to help
Tx:6.75  you do want peace, or you would not have called upon the Voice for  Peace to help you. His lesson is not insane; the conflict is.
Tx:6.78 To have  peace, teach peace to learn it.
Tx:6.78 To have peace, teach  peace to learn it.
Tx:6.89  you are accepting it as it is. Since it is whole, you are teaching  peace because you believe in it. The final step will still be taken
Tx:6.90  you learn that you learn what you teach and that you want to learn  peace. This is the condition for identifying with the Kingdom since
Tx:7.5  Eternity is the indelible stamp of creation. The eternal are in  peace and joy forever.
Tx:7.27  belong to it. Yet what is “treacherous” to the ego is faithful to  peace. The ego's “enemy” is therefore your friend. We said before
Tx:7.27  recognize all whom you see as brothers, because only equals are at  peace.
Tx:7.61  therefore has become essential. Vigilance has no place at all in  peace. It is necessary against beliefs which are not true and would

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

Tx:7.80  this as God Himself is lonely when His Sons do not know Him. The  peace of God is understanding this. There is only one way out of the
Tx:7.94  impossible and extension inevitable. That is why there is perfect  peace in the Kingdom. Every Soul is fulfilling its function, and only
Tx:7.94  Soul is fulfilling its function, and only complete fulfillment is  peace.
Tx:7.96  as boundless as God's. Like His, it extends forever and in perfect  peace. Its radiance is so intense that it creates in perfect joy, and

Tx:8.1  objection. Knowledge is not the motivation for learning this course.  Peace is. As the prerequisite for knowledge, peace must be learned.
Tx:8.1  learning this course. Peace is. As the prerequisite for knowledge,  peace must be learned. This is only because those who are in conflict
Tx:8.1  This is only because those who are in conflict are not peaceful, and  peace is the condition of knowledge, because it is the condition of
Tx:8.3  results to you. If you do not want them on the basis of loss of  peace, they will be removed from your mind for you. Every response to
Tx:8.3  response to the ego is a call to war, and war does deprive you of  peace. Yet in this war there is no opponent. This is the
Tx:8.3  is the reinterpretation of reality which you must make to secure  peace, and the only one you need ever make.
Tx:8.4 Those whom you perceive as opponents are part of your  peace, which you are giving up by attacking them. How can you have
Tx:8.4  share to have, but you do not give it up yourself. When you give up  peace, you are excluding yourself from it. This is a condition which
Tx:8.14  glory lie within it. It is boundless in strength and in love and in  peace. It has no boundaries because its extension is unlimited, and
Tx:8.17 To fulfill the Will of God perfectly is the only joy and  peace that can be fully known, because it is the only function that
Tx:8.25 If God's Will for you is complete  peace and joy, unless you experience only this you must be refusing
Tx:8.25  does not vacillate, being changeless forever. When you are not at  peace, it can only be because you do not believe you are in Him. Yet
Tx:8.25  because you do not believe you are in Him. Yet He is all in all. His  peace is complete, and you must be included in it. His laws govern
Tx:8.29 Do you not think the world needs  peace as much as you do? Do you not want to give it to the world as
Tx:8.35  to be known. Can you be separated from your identification and be at  peace? Dissociation is not a solution; it is a delusion. The
Tx:8.39  gave me] this confidence for both of us and all of us. I bring God's  peace back to all His Children, because I received it of Him for us
Tx:8.40  Who is our home. Whenever fear intrudes anywhere along the road to  peace, it is always because the ego has attempted to join the journey

Tx:9.39  And you abide in peace when you so decide. Yet you cannot abide in  peace unless you accept the Atonement, because the Atonement is the
Tx:9.39  unless you accept the Atonement, because the Atonement is the way to  peace. The reason is very simple and so obvious that it is often
Tx:9.61  you will realize how much is up to you. When anything threatens your  peace of mind, ask yourself,
Tx:9.69  brings more than merely lack of fear. In this decision lie joy and  peace and the glory of creation. Offer the Holy Spirit only your will
Tx:9.73 If you realized the complete havoc this makes of your  peace of mind, you could not make such an insane decision. You make
Tx:9.73  you want. It follows, then, that you want something other than  peace of mind, but you have not considered what it must be. Yet the
Tx:9.79  can heal you because the value of God's Son is one. When I said, “My  peace I give unto you,” I meant it. Peace came from God through me to

Tx:9.84 Only at the altar of God will you find  peace. And this altar is in you, because God put it there. His Voice

Tx:9.99  is in everything He created, for His Son is everywhere. Look with  peace upon your brothers, and God will come rushing into your heart
Tx:10.23  Will for His Son. Pain is not of Him, for He knows no attack and His  peace surrounds you silently. God is very quiet, for there is no

Tx:11.28 Salvation is for the mind, and it is attained through  peace. This is the only thing that can be saved and the only way to
Tx:11.35  learn to see truly. From this place, where God and His Son dwell in  peace and where you are welcome, you will look out in peace and

Tx:13.24  less, will be enough to free you from the past and give your mind in  peace over to the Atonement. When everyone is welcome to you as you
Tx:13.28  remember how much you love Him. Yet it is forever true. In shining  peace within you is the perfect purity in which you were created.
Tx:13.30  No one who condemns a brother can see himself as guiltless in the  peace of God. If he is guiltless and in peace and sees it not, he is
Tx:13.30  himself as guiltless in the peace of God. If he is guiltless and in  peace and sees it not, he is delusional and has not looked upon
Tx:13.35  for how to deal with the perceived and harsh intrusion of guilt on  peace. Yet no one sees himself in conflict and ravaged by a cruel war
Tx:13.35  Believing this, he must escape, for such a war would surely end his  peace of mind and so destroy him. Yet if he could but realize the war
Tx:13.37  There is no variation. There is no interruption. There is a sense of  peace so deep that no dream in this world has ever brought even a dim
Tx:13.38 Nothing in this world can give this  peace, for nothing in this world is wholly shared. Perfect perception
Tx:13.39  thoughts may occur to you, God's Will is done. You will find the  peace in which He has established you, because He does not change His
Tx:13.39  you, because He does not change His Mind. He is invariable as the  peace in which you dwell and of which the Holy Spirit reminds you.
Tx:13.41  nightmares all mean nothing. They will not prevail against the  peace God wills for you. The Holy Spirit will restore your sanity,
Tx:13.42  you want it broken, and this belief does interfere with the deep  peace in which the sweet and constant communication which God would
Tx:13.42  of reaching out cannot be wholly closed and separated from Him.  Peace will be yours, because His peace still flows to you from Him
Tx:13.42  closed and separated from Him. Peace will be yours, because His  peace still flows to you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it

Tx:18.62  freedom. Come to this place of refuge, where you can be yourself in  peace. Not through destruction, not through a “breaking out,” but
Tx:18.62  through a “breaking out,” but merely by a quiet “melting in.” For  peace will join you there simply because you have been willing to let

Tx:19.15  has already been prepared for loveliness. Truth follows faith and  peace, completing the process of making lovely which they begin. For

Tx:19.41  you cherish still against each other that is the first obstacle the  peace in you encounters in its going forth. This little wall of
Tx:19.42 The Holy Spirit's purpose rests in  peace within you. Yet you are still unwilling to let it join you
Tx:19.43  away from the giver of salvation? For such have you become.  Peace could no more depart from you than from God. Fear not this
Tx:19.43  Fear not this little obstacle. It cannot contain the Will of God.  Peace will flow across it and join you without hindrance. Salvation

Tx:19.47  seemed to be the world. It is no longer an unrelenting barrier to  peace. Its pointless wandering makes its results appear to be more
Tx:19.59 We said that  peace must first surmount the obstacle of your desire to get rid of

Tx:19.63  limit it. What are these obstacles which you would interpose between  peace and its going forth but barriers you place between your will
Tx:19.64  dearly for your illusions, and nothing you have paid for brought you  peace. Are you not glad that Heaven cannot be sacrificed, and
Tx:19.64  and not outside. How easily the gates are opened from within to let  peace through to bless the tired world! Can it be difficult for us to
Tx:19.66  keep you not apart from what is offered you in gratitude for giving  peace its home in Heaven. Send forth to all the world the joyous

Tx:19.68  not this you would be rid of, and having it you cannot limit it. If  peace is homeless, so are you and so am I. And He Who is our home is
Tx:19.68  us. Is this your will? Would you forever be a wanderer in search of  peace? Would you invest your hope of peace and happiness in what must
Tx:19.68  be a wanderer in search of peace? Would you invest your hope of  peace and happiness in what must fail?
Tx:19.69  patience, and wholly loving. It will accept you wholly and give you  peace. Yet it can unite only with what already is at peace in you,
Tx:19.69  and give you peace. Yet it can unite only with what already is at  peace in you, immortal as itself. The body can bring you neither
Tx:19.69  at peace in you, immortal as itself. The body can bring you neither  peace nor turmoil; neither pain nor joy. It is a means and not an

Tx:19.74  great deceiver recognizes that this is not so, but as the “enemy” of  peace, it urges you to send out all your messages of hate and free
Tx:19.77  strange devotion, for it contains the third of the obstacles which  peace must flow across. No one can die unless he chooses death. What

Tx:19.87  What can attack the guiltless? What fear can enter and disturb the  peace of sinlessness? What has been given you, even in its infancy,
Tx:19.89  it for destruction. Teach me how not to make of it an obstacle to  peace but let You use it for me to facilitate its coming.

Tx:19.91  beyond it, shining with joy because He is in His Father's Love,  peace will lightly brush the veil aside and run to meet Him and to
Tx:19.94 Every obstacle that  peace must flow across is surmounted in just the same way; the fear
Tx:19.94  the fear is gone. And so it is with this. The desire to get rid of  peace and drive the Holy Spirit from you fades in the presence of the
Tx:19.97  And it was surely not the ego that led you here. No obstacle to  peace can be surmounted through its help. It does not open up its

Tx:23.16  protecting you from everything that is not true. You dwell in  peace as limitless as its Creator, and everything is given those who
Tx:23.16  remember Him. Over His home the Holy Spirit watches, sure that its  peace can never be disturbed.
Tx:23.18  illusion; truth, itself. The meeting of illusions leads to war.  Peace, looking on itself, extends itself. War is the condition in
Tx:23.18  the condition in which fear is born and grows and seeks to dominate.  Peace is the state where love abides and seeks to share itself.
Tx:23.18  the state where love abides and seeks to share itself. Conflict and  peace are opposites. Where one abides the other cannot be; where

Tx:23.52  There is a stab of pain, a twinge of guilt, and above all, a loss of  peace. This you know well. When it occurs, leave not your place on
Tx:23.52  to remain where He would have you, and no illusion can attack the  peace of God together with His Son.
Tx:24.1  for this course is the attainment and the keeping of the state of  peace. Given this state the mind is quiet, and the condition in which

Tx:24.3  a substitute to take its place. And now must war, the substitute for  peace, come with the one alternative that you can choose for love.
Tx:24.4  Mistake you not the power of these hidden warriors to disrupt your  peace. For it is at their mercy while you decide to leave it there.
Tx:24.4  mercy while you decide to leave it there. The secret enemies of  peace, your least decision to choose attack instead of love,

Tx:24.13 Pursuit of specialness is always at the cost of  peace. Who can attack his savior and cut him down yet recognize his

Tx:25.77 You have the right to all the universe—to perfect  peace, complete deliverance from all effects of sin, and to the life

Tx:25.84  is equally entitled to His gift of healing and deliverance and  peace. To give a problem to the Holy Spirit to solve for you means

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

W1:185.9  it is otherwise. No compromise is possible in this. You choose God's  peace, or you have asked for dreams. And dreams will come as you

W1:208.1 [188] The  peace of God is shining in me now. I will be still and let the earth
W1:208.1  be still along with me. And in that stillness, we will find the  peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to God Himself.
W1:220.1 [200] There is no  peace except the peace of God. Let me not wander from the way of

W2:I.1  to the times in which we leave the world of pain and go to enter  peace. Now we begin to reach the goal this course has set and find
W2:221.1 Father, I come to You today to seek the  peace that You alone can give. I come in silence. In the quiet of my
W2:221.2  answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and find His  peace, to hear Him speak to us of what we are, and to reveal Himself
W2:222.2  we come quietly into Your Presence now and ask to rest with You in  peace a while.
W2:225.1  its kindly light, inviolate—beloved, with fear behind and only  peace ahead. How still the way Your loving Son is led along to You!
W2:225.2  we find that stillness now. The way is open. Now we follow it in  peace together. You have reached your hand to me, and I will never
W2:230.1 In  peace I was created. And in peace do I remain. It is not given me to
W2:230.1 In peace I was created. And in  peace do I remain. It is not given me to change my Self. How merciful
W2:230.1  How merciful is God my Father, that when He created me He gave me  peace forever. Now I ask but to be what I am. And can this be denied
W2:230.2 Father, I seek the  peace You gave as mine in my creation. What was given then must be
W2:230.2  was apart from time and still remains beyond all change. The  peace in which Your Son was born into Your Mind is shining there
W2:230.2  I am as You created me. I need but call on You to find the  peace You gave. It is Your will that gave it to Your Son.
W2:WS.1  and will replace these thoughts of conflict with the thought of  peace.
W2:WS.2 The thought of  peace was given to God's Son the instant that his mind had thought of
W2:WS.2  had thought of war. There was no need for such a thought before, for  peace was given without opposite and merely was. But when the mind is
W2:234.1  dreams of sin and guilt are gone and we have reached again the holy  peace we never left. Merely a tiny instant has elapsed between

W2:239.2  it with us. We are one, united in this light, and one with You, at  peace with all creation and ourselves.
W2:WIW.4  Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him give you  peace and certainty, which you have thrown away but Heaven has
W2:243.1  I cannot make. Thus do I free myself and what I look upon, to be in  peace as God created us.
W2:245.1 Your  peace surrounds me, Father. Where I go, Your peace goes there with
W2:245.1 Your peace surrounds me, Father. Where I go, Your  peace goes there with me. It sheds its light on everyone I meet. I
W2:245.1  meet. I bring it to the desolate and lonely and afraid. I give Your  peace to those who suffer pain or grieve for loss or think they are
W2:245.1  of hope and happiness. Send them to me, my Father. Let me bring Your  peace with me. For I would save Your Son as is Your Will, that I may
W2:245.2 And so we go in  peace. To all the world we give the message that we have received.
W2:WIS.3  Himself, His Will forever overcome by death, love slain by hate, and  peace to be no more.
W2:251.1  I everything that I could want. And now at last I find myself at  peace.
W2:251.2 And for that  peace, our Father, we give thanks. What we denied ourselves You have
W2:255.1 It does not seem to me that I can choose to have but  peace today. And yet my God assures me that His Son is like Himself.
W2:255.1  me this day have faith in Him Who says I am God's Son. And let the  peace I choose be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He
W2:255.1  He says. God's Son can have no cares and must remain forever in the  peace of Heaven. In his name I give today to finding what my Father
W2:255.2  would I pass this day with You. Your Son has not forgotten You. The  peace You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to
W2:257.2  And thus our purpose must be Yours as well if we would reach the  peace You will for us.
W2:261.1  Let me today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my  peace in murderous attack. I live in God. In Him I find my refuge and
W2:261.1  refuge and my strength. In Him is my Identity. In Him is everlasting  peace. And only there will I remember who I really am.
W2:262.2  about ourselves. We would come home and rest in unity. For there is  peace, and nowhere else can peace be sought and found.
W2:262.2  home and rest in unity. For there is peace, and nowhere else can  peace be sought and found.

W2:267.1  all I need to save the world is given me. Each heartbeat brings me  peace; each breath infuses me with strength. I am a messenger of God,
W2:267.1  His Voice, sustained by Him in love, and held forever quiet and at  peace within His loving arms. Each heartbeat calls His Name, and
W2:267.2  attend Your Answer, not my own. Father, my heart is beating in the  peace the Heart of Love created. It is there and only there that I
W2:270.2 The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and through them  peace will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through
W2:WIC.3  of the Holy Spirit and at home in God alone, does Christ remain at  peace within the Heaven of your holy mind. This is the only part of
W2:WIC.4  as the end of dreams. For when forgiveness rests upon the world and  peace has come to every Son of God, what could remain to keep things
W2:273.1  way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to  peace. We need but tell our minds with certainty, “The stillness of
W2:273.1  We need but tell our minds with certainty, “The stillness of the  peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that
W2:273.1  of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the  peace that God Himself has given to His Son.
W2:273.2 Father, Your  peace is mine. What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of
W2:273.2  You would have me keep? I cannot lose Your gifts to me. And so the  peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own
W2:WIHS.4  let forgiveness rest upon your dreams and be restored to sanity and  peace of mind. Without forgiveness will your dreams remain to terrify
W2:286.1  resolved. In You is everything I hope to find already given me. Your  peace is mine. My heart is quiet and my mind at rest. Your Love is
W2:287.1  be a substitute for happiness? What gift could I prefer before the  peace of God? What treasure would I seek and find and keep that can
W2:WIRW.2  a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at  peace. Nothing but rest is there. There are no cries of pain and
W2:WIRW.3  that it would judge against? The world it sees arises from a mind at  peace within itself. No danger lurks in anything it sees, for it is
W2:291.1  through me today. His sight shows me all things forgiven and at  peace and offers this same vision to the world. And I accept this
W2:295.1  today and thus redeem the world. He asks this gift that He may offer  peace of mind to me and take away all terror and all pain. And as
W2:305.1 Who uses but Christ's vision finds a  peace so deep and quiet, undisturbable and wholly changeless that the
W2:305.1  the world contains no counterpart. Comparisons are still before this  peace. And all the world departs in silence as this peace envelops it
W2:305.1  before this peace. And all the world departs in silence as this  peace envelops it and gently carries it to truth, no more to be the
W2:305.1  fear. For Love has come and healed the world by giving it Christ's  peace.
W2:305.2 Father, the  peace of Christ is given us because it is Your will that we be saved.
W2:306.1  I can go past all fear and be restored to love and holiness and  peace. Today I am redeemed and born anew into a world of mercy and of
W2:306.1  anew into a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the  peace of God.
W2:307.1  only You can give, I must accept Your will for me and enter into  peace where conflict is impossible. Your Son is one with You in being
W2:310.2  Who gave salvation to us, and Who set us free. We are restored to  peace and holiness. There is no room in us for fear today, for we

W2:WILJ.4  plan to bless His Son and call him to return to the eternal  peace He shares with him. Be not afraid of love. For it alone can

W2:314.1  suffer when the present has been freed, extending its security and  peace into a quiet future filled with hope?
W2:320.1 The Son of God is limitless. There are no limits on his strength, his  peace, his joy, or any attributes his Father gave in his creation.
W2:323.2  no longer. Love has now returned to our awareness. And we are at  peace again, for fear has gone and only love remains.
W2:328.2  have me be. It is Your will that I be wholly safe, eternally at  peace. And happily I share that will which You, my Father, gave as
W2:WIE.3  hatred and attack when all there is surrounding him is everlasting  peace, forever conflict-free and undisturbed in deepest silence and
W2:WIE.5  into light, the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. And  peace will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as
W2:331.1  and has no will that can conflict with Yours. Conflict is sleep, and  peace awakening. Death is illusion; life, Eternal Truth. There is no
W2:331.2  upon the holy sights forgiveness shows today that we may find the  peace of God. Amen.
W2:334.1  accept such meager gifts again today. God's Voice is offering the  peace of God to all who hear and choose to follow Him. This is my
W2:334.2  mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and bring him  peace? Today I would behold my brother sinless. This Your Will for
W2:336.1  to find what it has vainly sought without. For here and only here is  peace of mind restored, for this the dwelling-place of God Himself.
W2:337.1 My sinlessness ensures me perfect  peace, eternal safety, everlasting love, freedom forever from all
W2:343.2 The mercy and the  peace of God are free. Salvation has no cost. It is a gift that must

W2:346.1  You and know no laws except Your law of Love. And I would find the  peace which You created for Your Son, forgetting all the foolish toys
W2:346.2 And when the evening comes today, we will remember nothing but the  peace of God. For we will learn today what peace is ours when we
W2:346.2  remember nothing but the peace of God. For we will learn today what  peace is ours when we forget all things except God's Love.
W2:348.1  is everlasting Love. I have no cause for anything except the perfect  peace and joy I share with You. What need have I for anger or for
W2:WAI.4  have attained we call to all our brothers, asking them to share our  peace and consummate our joy.

W2:352.1  Who leads me to it. Father, I would hear Your Voice and find Your  peace today. For I would love my own Identity and find in Him the
W2:355.1  touch it. It is very close. I need not wait an instant more to be at  peace forever. It is You I choose and my Identity along with You.
W2:359.1  for we would be redeemed. Help us forgive, for we would be at  peace.

W2:FL.2 His is the only way to find the  peace that God has given us. It is His way that everyone must travel
W2:FL.4  the memory of God and points the way to Him and to the Heaven of His  peace. And shall we not forgive our brother who can offer this to us?
W2:E.5  walk with Him from this time on and turn to Him for guidance and for  peace and right direction. Joy attends our way. For we go homeward to
W2:E.6 We trust our ways to Him and say “Amen.” In  peace we will continue in His way and trust all things to Him. In
M:4.8  a quiet time in which the teacher of God rests a while in reasonable  peace. Now he consolidates his learning. Now he begins to see the
M:4.10  consistency of thought, and full transfer. This is the stage of real  peace, for here is Heaven's state fully reflected. From here the way
M:4.10  is open and easy. In fact, it is here. Who would “go” anywhere if  peace of mind is already complete? And who would seek to change
M:4.12 The  peace of mind which the advanced teachers of God experience is
M:4.14  guilt upon a brother and therefore on one's self. It is the end of  peace and the denial of learning. It demonstrates the absence of

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

M:11.3  substitution is the ununderstandable made understandable. How is  peace possible in this world? In your judgment it is not possible and

Tx:11.10  reinterpret it. That is the ultimate value to you in learning to  perceive attack as a call for love. We have learned surely that fear
Tx:11.11 Fear is a symptom of your deep sense of loss. If when you  perceive it in others you learn to supply the loss, the basic cause
Tx:11.15  God cannot be remembered alone. This is what you have forgotten. To  perceive the healing of your brother as the healing of yourself is

Tx:12.45 To  perceive truly is to be aware of all reality through the awareness of
Tx:12.45  for all reality leaves no room for any error. This means that you  perceive a brother only as you see him now. His past has no reality

Tx:12.49 The miracle enables you to see your brother without his past and so  perceive him as born again. His errors are all past, and by
Tx:13.22  in which you seek to lay your guilt upon him or share it with him or  perceive his own, you will feel guilty. Nor will you find
Tx:13.22  love and cannot understand what loving is. Their main concern is to  perceive the source of guilt outside themselves, beyond their own

Tx:15.58  another, and what you gain he loses. Someone must always lose if you  perceive yourself as weak. Yet there is another interpretation of

Tx:15.105  perceive yourself as lonely and deprived. And so long will you also  perceive yourself as a victim of sacrifice, justified in sacrificing
Tx:15.108  you offer me the love I offer you. What can be more joyous than to  perceive we are deprived of nothing? Such is the message of the time
Tx:16.10  Nor do you do them. It is their extension, far beyond the limits you  perceive, that demonstrates you did not do them. Why should you worry

Tx:18.1  If you would but consider exactly what this entails, you would  perceive at once how much at variance this is with the goal the Holy
Tx:18.4  divided again, over and over, that it is now almost impossible to  perceive it once was one and still is what it was. That one error,
Tx:18.87  for it is not the body that could speak of this. Its eyes  perceive it not; its senses remain quite unaware of it; its tongue

Tx:21.1  picture of an inward condition. As a man thinketh, so does he  perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but will to change
Tx:21.18  You must accept its strength and not its weakness. You must  perceive that what is strong enough to make a world can let it go and
Tx:21.51  but your choice. And if you place your faith in them, you will  perceive another Self in you. This other Self sees miracles as
Tx:21.60  you that you cannot see your brother or yourself as sinful and still  perceive the other innocent. Who looks upon himself as guilty and
Tx:21.74  no longer what is not there to find. Yet first he must be willing to  perceive a world where it is not. It is not necessary that he
Tx:22.9  given you, along with everything that you can understand. You will  perceive no difficulty in understanding what this vision tells you,
Tx:22.17  it, see them as different, and define the difference as joy. Yet to  perceive a difference where none exists will surely fail to make a
Tx:22.35  see beyond what is not there must be distorted perception and must  perceive illusions as the truth. Could it then recognize the truth?
Tx:22.61  is? You do not see that every sin and every condemnation which you  perceive and justify is an attack upon your Father. And that is why
Tx:23.2  will fear what you attack as it is sure that you will love what you  perceive as sinless. He walks in peace who travels sinlessly along
Tx:23.5  and alone in his temptation but help him rise above it and  perceive the light of which he is a part. Your innocence will light
Tx:23.5  protected and kept in your awareness. For who can know his glory and  perceive the little and the weak about him? Who can walk trembling in
Tx:23.36  be believed. Brothers, you do believe them. For how else could you  perceive the form they take with content such as this? Can any form
Tx:23.45  can be defended and that attack is justified on its behalf cannot  perceive it lies within them. How could they know? Could they accept
Tx:24.12  by searching for and keeping clear in sight all lacks it can  perceive. This does it seek, and this it looks upon. And always whom
Tx:24.52  respects, in every way, and every circumstance, in all temptation to  perceive what is not there and all belief God's Son can suffer pain
Tx:25.12 Is it not evident that what the body's eyes  perceive fills you with fear? Perhaps you think you find a hope of
Tx:25.12  you fancy to attain some peace and satisfaction in the world as you  perceive it. Yet it must be evident the outcome does not change.
Tx:25.23 To the extent to which you value guilt, to that extent will you  perceive a world in which attack is justified. To the extent to which
Tx:25.23  you recognize that guilt is meaningless, to that extent will you  perceive attack cannot be justified. This is in strict accord with
Tx:25.28  the calls to war he heard before are really calls to peace. He will  perceive that where he gave attack is but another altar where he can
Tx:25.37  the whole desire to attack is gone, and so there is no reason to  perceive the Son of God as other than he is. The need for guilt is
Tx:25.41  hell, but not alone. How beautiful his sinlessness will be when you  perceive it! And how great will be your joy, when he is free to offer
Tx:25.42  the understanding that he is the way to Heaven or to hell as you  perceive him. But forget not this—the role you give to him is given
Tx:25.58  is one which he cannot deny nor overlook nor fail completely to  perceive at all. To each his special function is designed to be
Tx:25.67  with the idea of punishment that they lay it aside unaided and  perceive it is not true? It is extremely hard for those who still
Tx:25.68  belief in justice must entail. And so they fear the Holy Spirit and  perceive the “wrath” of God in Him. [They are unjust indeed to Him.]
Tx:25.68  have never sinned. Their world depends on sin's stability. And they  perceive the “threat” of what God knows as justice to be more
Tx:25.75  it is impossible the Son of God could merit vengeance. You need not  perceive in every circumstance that this is true. Nor need you look
Tx:25.77  justice with a version of its own. For only love is just and can  perceive what justice must accord the Son of God. Let love decide and
Tx:25.79  For God is fair. He does not fight against His Son's reluctance to  perceive salvation as a gift from Him. Yet would His justice not be
Tx:25.84  as less deserving, then is He ally to specialness. What He cannot  perceive He bears no witness to. And everyone is equally entitled to
Tx:25.86  so they gather dust and grow until they cover everything that you  perceive and leave you fair to no one. Not one right do you believe
Tx:26.4  you. What greater sacrifice could be demanded than that God's Son  perceive himself without his Father? And his Father be without His
Tx:26.12  to size, complexity, or place and time, or any attribute which you  perceive that makes each one seem different from the rest. Think not
Tx:26.26  stands between to keep them separate and apart. The sinless must  perceive that they are one, for nothing stands between to push the
Tx:26.33  guides you through the infinitely small and senseless maze you still  perceive in time, though it has long since gone. You think you live
Tx:26.70 Salvation is immediate. Unless you so  perceive it, you will be afraid of it, believing that the risk of
Tx:26.70  Do not project this fear to time, for time is not the enemy that you  perceive. Time is as neutral as the body is except in terms of what
Tx:26.85  and when you think it is unfair and not to be allowed. When you  perceive it as unfair, you think that a response of anger now is
Tx:26.86 What does it mean if you  perceive attack in certain forms to be unfair to you? It means that
Tx:26.88 Beware of the temptation to  perceive yourself unfairly treated. In this view, you seek to find an
Tx:26.89  must be unfair to make the other innocent. And in this game do you  perceive one purpose for your whole relationship. And this you seek
Tx:26.90  not a trace of all the happy sparkle that salvation brought can you  perceive to lighten up your way. And so you see yourself deprived of
Tx:26.90  been resolved and been replaced with justice and with love. If you  perceive injustice anywhere, you need but say:
Tx:27.23 [In a split mind, identity must seem to be divided. Nor can anyone  perceive a function unified which has conflicting purposes and
Tx:27.24  separate, because that is the function given it by you. When you  perceive correction is the same as pardon, then you also know the
Tx:27.28  is unified. His single purpose unifies the halves of you which you  perceive as separate. And each forgives the other, that he may accept
Tx:27.31  it represents. And thus the picture has no cause at all. Who can  perceive effect without a cause? What can the causeless be but
Tx:27.48  face instead. Healing replaces suffering. Who looks on one cannot  perceive the other, for they cannot both be there. And what you see
Tx:27.49  Friend who brought them their release. And happily your brother will  perceive the many friends he thought were enemies.
Tx:27.50  nature is that it is not. And thus while he perceives it, he can not  perceive it as it is. But healing is apparent in specific instances
Tx:27.51  properly perceived but never violated. Fear you not the way that you  perceive them. You are wrong, but there is One within you Who is
Tx:27.71  both. Yet was it started by your secret dream, which you do not  perceive, although it caused the part you see and do not doubt is
Tx:27.84  guilt outside yourself but never letting go! It is not easy to  perceive the jest when all around you do your eyes behold its heavy
Tx:27.85 In gentle laughter does the Holy Spirit  perceive the cause and looks not to effects. How else could He
Tx:27.89  you choose but not to listen, not to see. How differently will you  perceive the world when this is recognized! When you forgive the
Tx:28.19  your shreds of memories and dreams. Yet if you are the dreamer, you  perceive this much at least—that you have caused the dream and can
Tx:28.29  other mind cannot project its guilt without your aid in letting it  perceive itself as separate and apart from you. Thus is the body not
Tx:28.46  a loss, and what is not of Him has no effects. What then would you  perceive within the gap? The seeds of sickness come from the belief
Tx:28.48  to have. You share no evil dreams if you forgive the dreamer and  perceive that he is not the dream he made. And so he cannot be a part
Tx:28.50  a world established that is sick, and this the world the body's eyes  perceive. Here are the sounds it hears—the voices which its ears
Tx:28.50  which its ears were made to hear. Yet sights and sounds the body can  perceive are meaningless. It cannot see nor hear. It does not know
Tx:28.50  know what seeing is, what listening is for. It is as little able to  perceive as it can judge or understand or know. Its eyes are blind;
Tx:28.51  a witness to the world you want. Let not the body's ears and eyes  perceive these countless fragments seen within the gap which you
Tx:28.53  here. The world you see does not exist because the place where you  perceive it is not real. The gap is carefully concealed in fog, and
Tx:28.57  walk apart. This is the secret oath you take again, whenever you  perceive yourself attacked. No one can suffer if he does not see
Tx:29.1  eternal patience sometimes fail. All this do you believe, when you  perceive a gap between your brother and yourself. How could you trust
Tx:29.10 Why would you not  perceive it as release from suffering to learn that you are free? Why
Tx:29.18  in that it is not more than it should be but only in your failure to  perceive that it is nothing. Yet its nothingness is your salvation,
Tx:29.27  it can be said attack is a response to function unfulfilled as you  perceive the function. It can be in you or someone else, but where it
Tx:29.47  a sign of death. You came to die, and what would you expect but to  perceive the signs of death you seek? No sadness and no suffering
Tx:30.6  you saw it first. This leads to fear because it contradicts what you  perceive, and so you feel attacked. And therefore angry. There are
Tx:30.68  as you. For he will be delayed when you look back, and you will not  perceive Whose loving hand you hold. Look forward, then, and walk in
Tx:30.72  pardon would have none. The real world is achieved when you  perceive the basis of forgiveness is quite real and fully justified.
Tx:30.85  are glad to see it everywhere. It cannot change because you would  perceive it everywhere, unchanged by circumstance. And so you offer
Tx:30.90  deception both. It is obscured by changing views of him which you  perceive as his reality. The happy dream about him takes the form of
Tx:31.1  and what is true cannot be false? You can no longer say that you  perceive no differences in false and true. You have been told exactly
Tx:31.24  should be asking for will be enough to let this happen. And you will  perceive his purpose is the same as yours. He asks for what you want
Tx:31.36  place when you have learned the way the lesson starts but do not yet  perceive what it is for? Its purpose is the answer to the search that
Tx:31.47  that the face which smiles above it must forever look away, lest it  perceive the treachery it hides. The lesson teaches this: “I am the
Tx:31.51  are what your brother made of you. For even though you do not yet  perceive that this is what you think, you surely learned by now that
Tx:31.57  for what you are. What matters it which concept you accept while you  perceive a self which interacts with evil and reacts to wicked
Tx:31.57  of yourself will still remain quite meaningless. And you will not  perceive that you can interact but with yourself. To see a guilty
Tx:31.64 Salvation does not ask that you behold the Spirit and  perceive the body not. It merely asks that this should be your
Tx:31.68  and trust becomes impossible. Nor could it change while you  perceive the “bad” in you.
Tx:31.69  your “evil” thoughts as long as you see value in attack. You will  perceive them sometimes, but will not see them as meaningless. And so
Tx:31.74  of what lies beyond. At least, you merely look on darkness and  perceive the terrified imaginings that come from guilty thoughts and
Tx:31.76  off unoccupied by love. Yet while you hold this sword, you must  perceive the body as yourself, for you are bound to separation from
Tx:31.89 Learn then the happy habit of response to all temptation to  perceive yourself as weak and miserable with these words:
Tx:31.92  as pain, as weakness and as suffering and loss is but temptation to  perceive yourself defenseless and in hell. Yield not to this, and you

W1:189.1 There is a light in you the world cannot  perceive. And with its eyes you will not see this light, for you are

Tx:18.61  at all in this escape. The body is not attacked, but simply properly  perceived. It does not limit you merely because you would not have it

Tx:23.51  it is over when you realize it never was begun. How can a battle be  perceived as nothingness when you engage in it? How can the truth of
Tx:23.53  the limits it exerts on those in battle still are gone and not  perceived. The body stands between the Father and the Heaven He
Tx:24.8  him reach it in every way you could if his attainment of it were  perceived as yours? You are his enemy in specialness; his friend in a

Tx:24.69  are the means and purpose separate because they were so made and so  perceived. And therefore do we deal with them as if they were. It is
Tx:25.4  the meeting of the holy Christ unto Himself; nor are any differences  perceived to stand between the aspects of His holiness, which meet
Tx:25.9  Will of God and what you really will. But this is understood by mind  perceived as one, aware that it is one and so experienced. It is the
Tx:25.25  and to each it is a perfect means to serve the goal for which it is  perceived. For specialness it is the perfect frame to set it off—
Tx:25.44  seems painful to the eyes grown long accustomed to the dim effects  perceived at twilight. And they turn away from sunlight and the
Tx:25.47  one perfect choice. And by this act of special faithfulness to one  perceived as other than himself, he learns the gift was given to
Tx:25.54  not insane on which a sane perception can be based, another world  perceived. And one in which nothing is contradicted that would lead
Tx:25.54  cruelty, to separation, and to differences. For here is everything  perceived as one, and no one loses that each one may gain.
Tx:25.55  the other as insane and meaningless. Love is the basis for a world  perceived as wholly mad to sinners who believe theirs is the way to
Tx:25.58  to perceive at all. To each his special function is designed to be  perceived as possible and more and more desired as it proves to him
Tx:25.71 And thus is love  perceived as weak and vengeance strong. For love has lost when
Tx:26.29 Where sin once was  perceived will rise a world which will become an altar to the truth,

Tx:26.48  is truth unchanged. It cannot be perceived, but only known. What is  perceived takes many forms, but none has meaning. Brought to truth,

Tx:26.74  there is no reason for an interval in which disaster strikes, to be  perceived as “good” some day but now in form of pain. This is a
Tx:26.75  one effect which it engenders and one form in which its outcome is  perceived. This interval in time, when retribution is perceived to be

Tx:26.86  could some be evaluated as unfair? Some then are given meaning and  perceived as sensible. And only some are seen as meaningless. And
Tx:26.87  and attack are one mistake, so firmly joined that where one is  perceived, the other must be seen. You cannot be unfairly treated.
Tx:26.87  Projection of the cause of sacrifice is at the root of everything  perceived to be unfair and not your just deserts. Yet it is you who
Tx:27.5  have you believed because it witnessed to the guilt in him which you  perceived and loved. Now in the hands made gentle by His touch, the
Tx:27.9  little pleasures where you can. Yet in this picture is the body not  perceived as neutral and without a goal inherent in itself. For it
Tx:27.23  from yours and gives you both a different role. And so you cannot be  perceived as one and, with a single function, that would mean a
Tx:27.24  half. And these two halves appear to represent a split within a self  perceived as two.]
Tx:27.26  half which is denied. And only what is left without his presence is  perceived as all of you. To this remaining half the Holy Spirit must
Tx:27.31  be recognized as vacant, and the time devoted to its seeing be  perceived as idly spent, a time unoccupied.
Tx:27.34  which the eyes have ever seen or ears have heard remains to be  perceived.
Tx:27.51  in lawful manner in accord with laws which have been properly  perceived but never violated. Fear you not the way that you perceive
Tx:27.58  suffering. It is no longer there. The One Who brings the miracle  perceived them all as one and called by name of fear. As fear is
Tx:27.68  really be. Of one thing you were sure—of all the many causes you  perceived as bringing pain and suffering to you, your guilt was not
Tx:27.71 An honest choice could never be  perceived as one in which the choice is split between a tiny you and
Tx:28.25  forgiving dreams are the effects of yours undone and hated enemies  perceived as friends with merciful intent. Their enmity is seen as
Tx:28.29  perceive itself as separate and apart from you. Thus is the body not  perceived as sick by both your minds, from separate points of view.
Tx:28.29  Uniting with a brother's mind prevents the cause of sickness and  perceived effects. Healing is the effect of minds which join, as
Tx:28.34  left behind the open door. What is the world except a little gap  perceived to tear eternity apart and break it into days and months
Tx:28.47  a sense of limitation? Of a splitting off and separating from? A gap  perceived between [ourselves] and what is seen as health? The good is
Tx:28.48  [of] pain and loss, that makes them real. Unshared, they are  perceived as meaningless. The fear is gone from them because you did
Tx:28.53  understand that it is here that you are kept as prisoners in a world  perceived to be existing here. The world you see does not exist
Tx:29.11  where its cause is must it be. Now is it caused, though not as yet  perceived. And its effects are there, though not yet seen. Look
Tx:29.15  your wish to be alive apart from life, alive in death, with death  perceived as life, and living, death. Confusion follows on confusion
Tx:29.18  it seems to be a thing with power in itself. As something, it can be  perceived and thought to feel and act and hold you in its grasp as
Tx:29.22  your brother then and understand what really fills the gap so long  perceived as keeping you apart.
Tx:29.27  the function. It can be in you or someone else, but where it is  perceived, it will be there it is attacked. Depression or assault
Tx:29.49  between the two. You choose your dreams, for they are what you wish,  perceived as if it had been given you. Your idols do what you would
Tx:29.52  replaced, no matter what their form. And it is this which never is  perceived and recognized. Be it a body or a thing, a place, a
Tx:29.53  complete your little self [and let you walk in] safety in a world  perceived as dangerous, with forces massed against your confidence
Tx:29.54  you see. An idol is a wish made tangible and given form and thus  perceived as real and seen outside the mind. Yet it is still a
Tx:29.67  time is almost over. And the forms which enter in the dream are now  perceived as brothers, not in judgment but in love.
Tx:30.56  fade and disappear. For here the gap that is not there begins to be  perceived without the toys of terror that you made. No more than this

Tx:27.20  the Holy Spirit and the world interpret differently. The world  perceives it as a statement of the “fact” that your salvation

W1:196.10  When you realize once and for all that it is you you fear, the mind  perceives itself as split. And this had been concealed while you

W2:WIHS.2  truth. For learning, as the Holy Spirit guides it to the outcome He  perceives for it, becomes the means to go beyond itself, to be
W2:315.1  gladdened. Someone speaks a word of gratitude or mercy, and my mind  perceives this gift and takes it as its own. And everyone who finds

Tx:2.45  Perceiving the body as a temple is only the first step in correcting
Tx:2.69  This is because healing rests on charity, and charity is a way of  perceiving the perfection of another even if he cannot perceive it
Tx:3.31  and this means that it is not whole. The miracle is a way of  perceiving, not of knowing. It is the right answer to a question, and
Tx:3.41  for himself. It is capable of asking valid questions but not of  perceiving valid answers because these are cognitive and cannot be

Tx:6.33  your minds are split, you can also perceive as well as think. Yet  perception cannot escape from the basic laws of mind. You perceive
Tx:6.33  from your mind and extend your perceptions outward. Although  perception of any kind is unnecessary, you made it, and the Holy
Tx:6.33  it, and the Holy Spirit can therefore use it well. He can inspire  perception and lead it toward God by making it parallel to God's way
Tx:6.36  your mind converge with His. There is no conflict anywhere in this  perception, because it means that all perception is guided by the

Tx:7.73  you will see the image of yourself as long as perception lasts. And  perception will last until the Sonship knows itself as whole.
Tx:7.74 You made  perception, and it must last as long as you want it. Illusions are
Tx:7.89  to perceive beyond belief, because truth is beyond belief, and His  perception is true. The ego can be completely forgotten at any time,
Tx:7.89  because it is unbelievable. The utter meaninglessness of all  perception that comes from the unbelievable must be apparent, but it
Tx:7.97  is maintained by extension. The miracle is a lesson in total  perception. By including any part of totality in the lesson, you have

Tx:8.64  can you do both simultaneously with the same thing and not suffer?  Perception of the body can be unified only by one purpose. This
Tx:8.70  does not define the whole. This is as true of knowledge as it is of  perception. The reason to know in part is to know entirely is because

Tx:9.27  The miracle worker begins by perceiving light and translates his  perception into sureness by continually extending it and accepting

Tx:9.42  your motives as soon as they become clearly out of accord with its  perception of you. This is when it will shift abruptly from
Tx:9.60  you perceive is up to you, because your will determines your  perception of it.
Tx:9.70  His return in exchange for yours is the exchange of knowledge for  perception. Nothing is beyond His Will for you. But signify your will
Tx:9.86  judge unreality for what it is. This is the right use of selective  perception. To overlook nothingness is merely to judge it correctly,
Tx:10.54 The ego's interpretation of the laws of  perception are, and would have to be, the exact opposite of the Holy
Tx:10.56  of the ego's demonstrations to those who would listen. Selective  perception chooses its witnesses carefully, and its witnesses are
Tx:10.60  and are answered together. There has been much confusion about what  perception means because the same word is used both for awareness and
Tx:10.60  against it and therefore do not believe it. And if belief determines  perception, you do not perceive what it means and therefore do not
Tx:10.69  not perceiving at all. What, then, is the world that awaits your  perception when you see it?
Tx:10.72 The  perception of goodness is not knowledge, but the denial of the
Tx:10.74  not believe it. Yet the swiftness with which your new and only real  perception will be translated into knowledge will leave you only an

Tx:11.59  at the altar to His Father, perception fuses into knowledge because  perception has become so holy that its transfer to holiness is merely

Tx:11.61  to all situations, you will gain the real world. For in this holy  perception, you will be made whole, and the Atonement will radiate
Tx:11.65  You see what you expect, and you expect what you invite. Your  perception is the result of your invitation, coming to you as you
Tx:11.65  see in. Two ways of looking at the world are in your mind, and your  perception will reflect the guidance you chose.
Tx:11.67  not up to you whether to project, for projection is a law of mind.  Perception is projection, and you look in before you look out. As you
Tx:11.80  will answer every question you ask, and a Vision will correct the  perception of everything you see. For what you have made invisible is
Tx:11.82  Yet what He does see is yours to behold, and through His vision your  perception is healed. You have made the invisible the only truth that
Tx:11.84  will make everything else invisible, for beholding it is total  perception. And as you look upon it, you will remember that it was
Tx:11.84  become invisible, for you will at last have seen truly. Redeemed  perception is easily translated into knowledge, for only perception
Tx:11.84  Redeemed perception is easily translated into knowledge, for only  perception is capable of error, and perception has never been. Being
Tx:11.84  into knowledge, for only perception is capable of error, and  perception has never been. Being corrected, it gives place to
Tx:12.25  death? You have been as selective in your questioning as in your  perception. An open mind is more honest than this.
Tx:12.29  the present is without meaning. It is evident that the Holy Spirit's  perception of time is the exact opposite of the ego's. The reason is
Tx:12.35  upon them, and he alone believes they answered him. Projection makes  perception, and you cannot see beyond it. Again and again have men
Tx:12.42  And He will not return unto the Father until He has extended your  perception even unto Him. And there perception is no more, for He has
Tx:12.42  until He has extended your perception even unto Him. And there  perception is no more, for He has returned you to the Father with Him.
Tx:12.67  for the Holy Spirit corrects the world of dreams, where all  perception is. Knowledge needs no correction. Yet the dreams of love
Tx:12.71  God's Son is not a traveler through outer worlds. However holy his  perception may become, no world outside himself holds his
Tx:13.1  unequivocally knows also that it dwells in eternity and utilizes no  perception at all. It therefore does not consider where it is because
Tx:13.2 The very real difference between  perception and knowledge becomes quite apparent if you consider this:
Tx:13.2  knows you. All knowledge must be yours, for in you is all knowledge.  Perception at its loftiest is never complete. Even the perception of
Tx:13.2  knowledge. Perception at its loftiest is never complete. Even the  perception of the Holy Spirit, as perfect as perception can be, is
Tx:13.2  complete. Even the perception of the Holy Spirit, as perfect as  perception can be, is without meaning in Heaven. Perception can reach
Tx:13.2  as perfect as perception can be, is without meaning in Heaven.  Perception can reach everywhere under His guidance, for the vision of
Tx:13.2  for the vision of Christ beholds everything in light. Yet no  perception, however holy, will last forever.
Tx:13.3 Perfect  perception, then, has many elements in common with knowledge, making
Tx:13.5  forever. Every miracle you offer to the Son of God is but the true  perception of one aspect of the whole. Though every aspect is the

Tx:14.24  is the medium by which ignorance is brought to knowledge. Yet the  perception must be without deceit, for otherwise it becomes the

Tx:14.30  judgment must prevail, and He will give it to you as you join your  perception to His. Joining with Him in seeing is the way in which you

Tx:14.31 You cannot see alone. Sharing  perception with Him Whom God has given you teaches you how to

Tx:15.19  sources of ego support. As a result, they witness to the ego in your  perception and seem to provide reasons for not letting it go. Yet
Tx:15.53  you now. The holy instant parallels His knowing by bringing all  perception out of the past, thus removing the frame of reference you
Tx:15.85 As the ego would limit your  perception of your brothers to the body, so would the Holy Spirit
Tx:15.85  you, for it is permanent. For once you have accepted it as the only  perception you want, it is translated into knowledge by the part
Tx:15.90 You have no conception of the limits you have placed on your  perception and no idea of all the loveliness that you could see. But
Tx:15.95  is possible to do this all at once because there is but one shift in  perception that is necessary, for you made but one mistake. It seems
Tx:16.6  bring peace to anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it is His  perception and His strength that you would share. And let Him offer
Tx:16.6  that you would share. And let Him offer you His strength and His  perception to be shared through you.
Tx:16.12  thinks, and what is natural to Him is natural to you. Wholly natural  perception would show you instantly that order of difficulty in
Tx:16.13  you and have offered it to Him to use as He knows how, His natural  perception of your gift enables Him to understand it and you to use
Tx:16.51  deprived could value specialness. The demand for specialness and the  perception of the giving of specialness as an act of love would make
Tx:16.61  is a device for limiting your self to a body and for limiting your  perception of others to theirs. The Great Rays would establish the
Tx:17.9  it. And with this final blessing of God's Son upon himself, the real  perception, born of the new perspective he has learned, has served
Tx:17.10  light, and the sun which opened up the world to beauty will vanish.  Perception will be meaningless when it has been perfected, for
Tx:17.10  no shifts nor shadings, no differences, no variations which made  perception possible will occur. The perception of the real world will
Tx:17.10  no variations which made perception possible will occur. The  perception of the real world will be so short that you will barely
Tx:17.11  old, the world you see without forgiveness. The Great Transformer of  perception will undertake with you the careful searching of the mind
Tx:17.12  across chaos and removing all illusions which had twisted your  perception and fixed it on the past. The smallest leaf becomes a
Tx:17.17  not there. Even the body of the other, already a severely limited  perception of him, is not the central focus as it is or in entirety.
Tx:17.20  extends the present by increasing its reality and its value in your  perception of it. In these loving thoughts is the spark of beauty
Tx:17.26  relationship to you be real to you, and let me bring reality to your  perception of your brothers. They were not created to enable you to
Tx:17.44 The holy relationship, a major step toward the  perception of the real world, is learned. It is the old unholy
Tx:17.47  of view of this new purpose, they are inevitably appalled. Their  perception of the relationship may even become quite disorganized.
Tx:17.47  become quite disorganized. And yet, the former organization of their  perception no longer serves the purpose they have agreed to meet.
Tx:18.3  variable behavior, a far more serious effect lies in the fragmented  perception from which the behavior stems. No one is seen complete.
Tx:18.15  with what is true. They are the best example you could have of how  perception can be utilized to substitute illusions for truth. You do
Tx:18.53  the shift from fantasies of vengeance to release from them? Your  perception of the body can clearly be sick, but project not this upon
Tx:18.91  rise in your imagination, and from the clouds the messengers of your  perception return to you, assuring you that it is all there. Figures
Tx:18.93  you forgiven, for here you have forgiven everyone. Here is the new  perception, where everything is bright and shining with innocence,
Tx:18.98  only purpose will be creating. Yet this you cannot know until every  perception has been cleansed and purified and finally removed
Tx:18.98  and sure within its gentleness to the bright world of new and clean  perception. There is your purpose now. And it is there that peace
Tx:19.4  faithlessness leads straight to illusions. For faithlessness is the  perception of a brother as a body, and the body cannot be used for
Tx:19.12  to bodies for its justification. It is the messenger of the new  perception sent forth to gather witnesses unto its coming and to
Tx:19.12  as is the real world. For faith arises from the Holy Spirit's  perception and is the sign you share it with Him. Faith is a gift you
Tx:19.27  but keeping it uncorrectable. This is not really a change in your  perception, for it is sin that calls for punishment, not error. The
Tx:19.29  the plane, the line seems discontinuous. And this is but an error in  perception which can be easily corrected in the mind, although the
Tx:19.30  this can be corrected by the mind. But sin is the belief that your  perception is unchangeable and that the mind must accept as true what
Tx:19.30  obey, the mind is judged insane. The only power which could change  perception is thus kept impotent, held to the body by the fear of
Tx:19.30  is thus kept impotent, held to the body by the fear of changed  perception which its teacher, who is one with it, would bring.
Tx:19.32  sin is precious. For the belief that bodies limit mind leads to a  perception of the world in which the proof of separation seems to be
Tx:19.34  blessing on your sight. You will not see it long. For in the new  perception, the mind corrects it when it seems to be seen, and it
Tx:19.35  sin will not prevail against a union Heaven has smiled upon. Your  perception was healed in the holy instant Heaven gave you. Forget
Tx:19.50  of death and laying them respectfully before their lord and master.  Perception cannot obey two masters, each asking for messages of
Tx:19.51  which guilt holds for fear is wholly absent from love's gentle  perception. What love would look upon is meaningless to fear and
Tx:19.61  not see that this is the belief in death? Here is the focus of the  perception of Atonement as murder. Here is the source of the idea
Tx:19.67  communion, where we are joined already, will be the focus of the new  perception that will bring light to all the world, contained in you.
Tx:19.72  its existence. This, then, is the attraction of pain. Ruled by this  perception, the body becomes the servant of pain, seeking it
Tx:20.16  in sin is an adjustment. And an adjustment is a change; a shift in  perception or a belief that what was so before has been made
Tx:20.16  shift or change is undertaken. For this reduces it at once to mere  perception—a way of looking in which certainty is lost and doubt
Tx:20.18  to you. Nor is there any difference between yourself and it in your  perception, which made them both.
Tx:20.21  it and whispered, “What are you?” And He Who watches over all  perception answered. Take not the judgment of the world as answer to
Tx:21.1 Projection makes  perception. The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than
Tx:21.1  to change the world, but will to change your mind about the world.  Perception is a result, not a cause. And that is why order of
Tx:21.24  to make it fit the goal of madness. The goal of sin induces the  perception of a fearful world to justify its purpose. What you desire
Tx:21.33  but strong in faith in his illusions about himself. For faith,  perception, and belief you made as means for losing certainty and
Tx:21.34  He sees their value as a means for what He wills for you. You made  perception that you might choose among your brothers and seek for sin
Tx:21.34  among your brothers and seek for sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees  perception as a means to teach you that the vision of a holy
Tx:21.40  you. The faith and the belief you gave it belongs beyond. You gave  perception and belief and faith from mind to body. Let them now be
Tx:21.49  Perception selects and makes the world you see. It literally picks it
Tx:21.49  raucous screams and senseless ravings to those who want to hear it.  Perception is a choice and not a fact. But on this choice depends far
Tx:21.49  choose to see, depends entirely your whole belief in what you are.  Perception is a witness but to this and never to reality. Yet it can
Tx:21.56 Faith and  perception and belief can be misplaced and serve the great deceiver's
Tx:21.56  to fit its end. Faith and belief are strong in madness, guiding  perception toward what the mind has valued. But reason enters not at
Tx:21.56  the mind has valued. But reason enters not at all in this. For the  perception would fall away at once if reason were applied. There is
Tx:21.58  Faith and belief, upheld by reason, cannot fail to lead to changed  perception. And in this change is room made way for vision. Vision
Tx:22.1  see it in the same place and time. Sin is a strictly individual  perception, seen in the other yet believed by each to be within
Tx:22.14 Here is the first direct  perception that you have made. You made it through awareness older
Tx:22.14  that you have made. You made it through awareness older than  perception and yet reborn in just an instant. For what is time to
Tx:22.32  Everything which the body's eyes can see is a mistake, an error in  perception, a distorted fragment of the whole, without the meaning
Tx:22.33  to look on error and not see past it. Theirs is indeed a strange  perception, for they can see only illusions, unable to look beyond
Tx:22.34  unable to go beyond the form to meaning. Nothing so blinding as  perception of form. For sight of form means understanding has been
Tx:22.35  it were. What cannot see beyond what is not there must be distorted  perception and must perceive illusions as the truth. Could it then
Tx:22.36  can see. Let your awareness of your brother not be blocked by your  perception of his sins and of his body. What is there in him that you
Tx:24.69  them as if they were. It is essential it be kept in mind that all  perception still is upside down until its purpose has been
Tx:24.69  still is upside down until its purpose has been understood.  Perception does not seem to be a means. And it is this that makes it
Tx:24.69  the whole extent to which it must depend on what you see it for.  Perception seems to teach you what you see. Yet it but witnesses to
Tx:24.72  man perceives an alien will and wishes it were so. And thus does his  perception serve his wish by giving it appearances of truth. Yet can
Tx:24.72  perception serve his wish by giving it appearances of truth. Yet can  perception serve another goal. It is not bound to specialness but by
Tx:24.72  your choice. And it is given you to make a different choice and use  perception for a different purpose. And what you see will serve that
Tx:25.5  the Christ in you except you look on holiness and see Him there?  Perception tells you, you are manifest in what you see. Behold the
Tx:25.6  Perception is a choice of what you want yourself to be—the world
Tx:25.6  witness unto anything the purpose in your mind upholdeth not.  Perception is a part of what it is your purpose to behold, for means
Tx:25.23  is there, and you believe it there because you want it there.  Perception has no other law than this. The rest but stems from this,
Tx:25.24 God's laws do not obtain directly to a world  perception rules, for such a world could not have been created by the
Tx:25.24  for such a world could not have been created by the Mind to which  perception has no meaning. Yet are His laws reflected everywhere. Not
Tx:25.25  Perception rests on choosing; knowledge does not. Knowledge has but
Tx:25.25  illusions which it would make real. Not one but it upholds in its  perception; not one but can be fully justified.
Tx:25.26  Maker Who can reconcile its goal with His Creator's purpose. In His  perception of the world, nothing is seen but justifies forgiveness
Tx:25.30  And therefore it need not be there in yours. Sin is the fixed belief  perception cannot change. What has been damned is damned and damned
Tx:25.30  forever, being forever unforgivable. If then it is forgiven, sin's  perception must have been wrong. And thus is change made possible.
Tx:25.46 Such is the Holy Spirit's kind  perception of specialness—His use of what you made, to heal instead
Tx:25.54  world you see to something else—a basis not insane on which a sane  perception can be based, another world perceived. And one in which
Tx:25.80  unfair must be corrected because it is unfair. And every error is a  perception in which one at least is seen unfairly. Thus is justice
Tx:25.81  makes punishment impossible and justice sure. The Holy Spirit's  perception leaves no ground for an attack. Only a loss could justify
Tx:26.3  part, remaining incomplete to keep its own identity intact. In this  perception of yourself, the body's loss would be a sacrifice indeed.
Tx:26.11  out so no one loses, is the problem gone, because it was an error in  perception which now has been corrected. One mistake is not more
Tx:26.20  universe made true. This is because knowledge makes no attack upon  perception. They are brought together, and only one continues past
Tx:26.21  It is the judgment of the truth upon illusion, of knowledge on  perception—it has no meaning and does not exist. This is not your
Tx:26.22 Salvation stops just short of Heaven, for only  perception needs salvation. Heaven was never lost and so cannot be
Tx:26.23  world is the area of choice made real, not in the outcome but in the  perception of alternatives for choice. That there is choice is an
Tx:26.43  long ago. Look gently on each other and behold the world in which  perception of your hate has been transformed into a world of love.
Tx:26.48  built on sin. The Son of God perceives what he would see, because  perception is a wish fulfilled. Perception changes, made to take the
Tx:26.48  perceives what he would see, because perception is a wish fulfilled.  Perception changes, made to take the place of changeless knowledge.
Tx:26.54  little space to him. This separating off is symbolized in your  perception by a body which is clearly separate and a thing apart. Yet
Tx:26.69  and a little watchful of interests perceived as separate. From this  perception you cannot conceive of gaining what forgiveness offers
Tx:26.85  Their Presence. They are known with clarity or not at all. Confused  perception will block knowledge. It is not a question of the size of
Tx:27.25 Consider how this self  perception must extend, and do not overlook the fact that every
Tx:27.26  outside yourself on one who cannot be a part of you while this  perception lasts. What is condemned can never be returned to its
Tx:28.2  if you did not desire its effects? Remembering is as selective as  perception, being its past tense. It is perception of the past as if
Tx:28.2  is as selective as perception, being its past tense. It is  perception of the past as if it were occurring now and still were
Tx:28.2  if it were occurring now and still were there to see. Memory, like  perception, is a skill made up by you to take the place of what God
Tx:28.7  a cause so ancient that it far exceeds the span of memory which your  perception sees.
Tx:30.84  they have. Can this be meaning? Can confusion be what meaning means?  Perception cannot be in constant flux and make allowance for
Tx:30.85 A common purpose is the only means whereby  perception can be stabilized and one interpretation given to the
Tx:30.86  from this idea. And it is this idea of different goals which makes  perception shift and meaning change. In one united goal does this
Tx:31.57  the self embraces all you look upon, and nothing is outside of this  perception. If you can be hurt by anything, you see a picture of your
Tx:31.58  Each one will show the changes in your own relationships as your  perception of yourself is changed. There will be some confusion every
Tx:31.64  and the good and must be passed that both may disappear, so that  perception finds no hiding place. How is this done? It is not done at
Tx:31.68  kinds of change you could not recognize. Concepts are needed while  perception lasts, and changing concepts is salvation's task. For it
W1:I.3 The purpose of these exercises is to train the mind to a different  perception of everything in the world. The workbook is divided into
W1:15.3  at last. They will not persist, because they merely symbolize true  perception, and they are not related to knowledge. These exercises
W1:16.2  concept than that of “idle thoughts.” What gives rise to the  perception of a whole world can hardly be called idle. Every thought
W1:17.1  but you must learn that it is the way you think. If it were not so,  perception would have no cause and would itself be the cause of
W1:18.2  the exercises for today will emphasize this aspect of your  perception. The three or four practice periods which are recommended
W1:21.6  person, believing that the anger is limited to this aspect. If your  perception of the person is suffering from this form of distortion,
W1:23.1  you see. It is with your thoughts, then, that we must work if your  perception of the world is to be changed.
W1:24.1  and no way of judging the result. What you do is determined by your  perception of the situation, and that perception is wrong. It is
W1:24.1  you do is determined by your perception of the situation, and that  perception is wrong. It is inevitable, then, that you will not serve
W1:26.3  is to weaken you in your own eyes. Thus they have attacked your  perception of yourself. And because you believe in them, you can no
W1:33.1 Today's idea is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your  perception of the world in both its outer and inner aspects. A full
W1:34.1  then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful  perception of the world arises.
W1:35.5  emphasize what you consider to be the more negative aspects of your  perception of yourself. Toward the latter part of the exercise
W1:43.1  Perception is not an attribute of God. His is the realm of knowledge.
W1:43.1  Yet He has created the Holy Spirit as the Mediator between  perception and knowledge. Without this link with God, perception
W1:43.1  between perception and knowledge. Without this link with God,  perception would have replaced knowledge forever in your minds. With
W1:43.1  replaced knowledge forever in your minds. With this link with God,  perception will become so changed and purified that it will lead to
W1:43.2 In God you cannot see.  Perception has no function in God and does not exist. Yet in
W1:43.2  not exist. Yet in salvation, which is the undoing of what never was,  perception has a mighty purpose. Made by the Son of God for an unholy
W1:43.2  the means for the restoration of his holiness to his awareness.  Perception has no meaning. Yet does the Holy Spirit give it a meaning
W1:43.2  does the Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God's. Healed  perception becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his
W1:55.3  give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts will save me from this  perception of the world and give me the peace God intended me to have.
W1:58.2 [36] My holiness envelops everything I see. From my holiness does the  perception of the real world come. Having forgiven, I no longer see
W1:58.3 [37] My holiness blesses the world. The  perception of my holiness does not bless me alone. Everyone and
W1:64.2  learn to forgive yourself what you think of as your sins. In this  perception, the physical appearance of temptation becomes the
W1:66.13 Today's idea is another giant stride in the  perception of the same as the same and the different as different. On
W1:68.6  of some sort. This has left you alone in all the universe in your  perception of yourself.
W1:72.9  on salvation. We will try to welcome it instead. Your upside-down  perception has been ruinous to your peace of mind. You have seen
W1:79.4  a vast number of problems, each requiring a different answer. This  perception places you in a position in which your problem solving
W1:83.4 My  perception of this does not change my function. This does not give me
W1:86.4 God's plan for salvation will save me from my  perception of this. This is no exception in God's plan for my
W1:87.2  on what it shows me. This day I will experience the peace of true  perception.
W1:88.7 My  perception of this shows me I believe in laws which do not exist. I
W1:91.1  repeating. It is a central idea in your new thought system and the  perception which it produces. The miracle is always there. Its
W1:108.3  themselves. This is the light which heals because it brings single  perception, based upon one frame of reference from which one meaning
W1:121.12 Look at this changed  perception for a while, and turn your mind to one you call a friend.
W1:126.2  your own. You further think that they can sin without affecting your  perception of yourself, while you can judge their sin and yet remain
W1:130.1  Perception is consistent. What you see reflects your thinking. And
W1:130.2  its weapon is—that which you fear to see you cannot see. Love and  perception thus go hand in hand, but fear obscures in darkness what
W1:130.10  gratitude. Nor will you fail to see His thanks expressed in tangible  perception and in truth. You will not doubt what you will look upon.
W1:130.10  truth. You will not doubt what you will look upon. For though it is  perception, it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone have
W1:130.11  the real, the false or true is what you see, and only what you see.  Perception is consistent with your choice, and hell or Heaven comes
W1:138.2 It is this strange  perception of the truth that makes the choice of Heaven seem to be
W1:157.8  the Holy One, the Giver of the happy dreams of life, Translator of  perception into truth, the holy Guide to Heaven given you has dreamed
W1:166.8  then proclaim your poverty in exile? He would make you laugh at this  perception of yourself. Where is self-pity then? And what becomes of
W1:181.2  Perception has a focus. It is this which gives consistency to what
W1:181.4  These concerns are but defenses against present change of focus in  perception. Nothing more.
W1:181.9  all we want to see, when this is all we seek for in the name of true  perception, are the eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the love He
W1:184.2  off all things from one another is the means by which the world's  perception is achieved. You see something where nothing is and see as
W1:184.3  as separate awarenesses? You gave these names to them, establishing  perception as you wished to have perception be. The nameless things
W1:184.3  these names to them, establishing perception as you wished to have  perception be. The nameless things were given names and thus reality
W1:184.5  vision still remain a natural direction for the mind to channel its  perception. It is hard to teach the mind a thousand alien names and
W1:184.7  starting point from which another kind of learning can begin, a new  perception can be gained, and all the arbitrary names the world
W1:187.1  you would give. It is the second phase on which the world and true  perception differ. Having had and given, then the world asserts that
W1:188.2  that is not but the shadow of the seen through inward vision. There  perception starts, and there it ends. It has no source but this.
W1:188.5  universally. For what your inward vision looks upon is your  perception of the universe.
W1:191.5  to Him Who pointed out the way to happiness that changed his whole  perception of the world.
W1:193.2  erring sight and give him vision that will lead him back to where  perception ceases. God does not perceive at all. Yet it is He Who
W1:193.2  does not perceive at all. Yet it is He Who gives the means by which  perception is made true and beautiful enough to let the light of
W1:193.11  to perceive the lesson he should learn? Does pain seem real in the  perception? If it does, be sure the lesson is not learned. And there
W1:194.7  certainty of care the world can never threaten. He is sure that his  perception may be faulty but will never lack correction. He is free
W1:194.8  to gain thereby and every living creature not respond with healed  perception? Who entrusts himself to God has also placed the world
W1:198.2  a prisoner. Forgive and you are freed. Such is the law that rules  perception. It is not a law that knowledge understands, for freedom
W1:200.8  within the world perceived as different and leading from this fresh  perception to the gate of Heaven and the way beyond. Peace is the
W2:WS.4  come to live within their branches. Earth is being born again in new  perception. Night has gone, and we have come together in the light.
W2:WIW.1 The world is false  perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It
W2:WIW.2  could enter not and where His Son could be apart from Him. Here was  perception born, for knowledge could not cause such insane thoughts.
W2:WIW.4  truth, it can be redirected. Sounds become the call of God. And all  perception can be given a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed
W2:WIW.5 Let us not rest content until the world has joined our changed  perception. Let us not be satisfied until forgiveness has been made
W2:243.1  grasp. I will not think I understand the whole from bits of my  perception, which are all that I can see. Today I recognize that this
W2:269.1  me my mistakes and look beyond them. It is given me to find a new  perception through the Guide You gave to me and through His lessons
W2:269.1  through the Guide You gave to me and through His lessons to surpass  perception and return to truth. I ask for the illusion which
W2:WIC.5  As we behold His glory will we know we have no need of learning or  perception or of time, or anything except the holy Self, the Christ
W2:271.1  the world and God's creation meet, and as they come together, all  perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems the world from death.
W2:WIHS.1  and the truth. As He must bridge the gap between reality and dreams,  perception leads to knowledge through the grace that God has given
W2:WIRW.1 The real world is a symbol like the rest of what  perception offers. Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you
W2:WIRW.4  he is redeemed. The real world signifies the end of time, for its  perception makes time purposeless.
W2:WIRW.5  for God to take His final step, and time has disappeared, taking  perception with it as it goes and leaving but the Truth to be Itself.
W2:300.1  or even grasped. Yet this is also the idea that lets no false  perception keep us in its hold nor represent more than a passing
W2:304.1  holy sights Christ looks upon unless it is His vision that I use.  Perception is a mirror, not a fact. And what I look on is my state of
W2:308.1  aim. If I elect to reach past time to timelessness, I must change my  perception of what time is for. Time's purpose cannot be to keep the
W2:WILJ.1  what is true has never changed. And this the judgment is in which  perception ends. At first you see a world which has accepted this as
W2:WILJ.1  true, projected from a now corrected mind. And with this holy sight,  perception gives a silent blessing and then disappears, its goal
W2:312.1  Perception follows judgment. Having judged, you therefore see what
W2:313.1  for He sees no sin in anything He looks upon. Now let His true  perception come to me that I may waken from the dream of guilt and
W2:314.1 From new  perception of the world there comes a future very different from the
W2:334.1  gone, even while they are woven out of thoughts that rest on false  perception. Let me not accept such meager gifts again today. God's
W2:335.1  is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond  perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see because it
W2:336.1  means appointed for perception's ending. Knowledge is restored after  perception first is changed and then gives way entirely to what
W2:WIM.1  it sees is false. It undoes error but does not attempt to go beyond  perception nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it stays
W2:WIM.2  because it fails entirely to understand its ways. A miracle inverts  perception which was upside-down before, and thus it ends the strange
W2:WIM.2  and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. Now is  perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen as justified.
W2:WIM.3  of Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in love.  Perception stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to curse
W2:346.1 Father, I wake today with miracles correcting my  perception of all things. And so begins the day I share with You as I
W2:351.1  not a Son of God, alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this  perception is a choice I make and can relinquish. I can also see my
M:4.3  foundation on which their ability to fulfill their function rests.  Perception is the result of learning. In fact, perception is
M:4.3  their function rests. Perception is the result of learning. In fact,  perception is learning, because cause and effect are never separated.
M:8.1 The belief in order of difficulties is the basis for the world's  perception. It rests on differences; on uneven background and
M:8.3  through differences. Yet it is not the messages they bring on which  perception rests. Only the mind evaluates their messages, so only the
M:8.4  sorting out and categorizing activities of the mind that errors in  perception enter. And it is here correction must be made. The mind

Tx:15.92 It is in your power in time to delay the  perfect union of the Father and the Son. For in this world, the

Tx:15.110  in which a new year will be born from the time of Christ. I have  perfect faith in you to do all that you would accomplish. Nothing

Tx:16.17  Could you not look with greater charity on whom God loves with  perfect love?
Tx:16.27  has no limits and no end, and there is nothing in Him that is not  perfect and eternal. All this is you, and nothing outside of this is

Tx:17.9  All else is learned, but this is given, complete and wholly  perfect. No one but Him Who planned salvation could complete it thus.
Tx:17.21 The Holy Spirit wills only to make His resolutions complete and  perfect, and so He seeks and finds the source of problems where it is
Tx:17.39  is framed to be out of focus and not seen. The other is framed for  perfect clarity. The picture of darkness and of death grows less
Tx:17.42  in it they are one. For here is only healing, already complete and  perfect. For here is God, and where He is, only the perfect and
Tx:17.42  complete and perfect. For here is God, and where He is, only the  perfect and complete can be.
Tx:17.70  how great the strength that goes with you. And you can use this in  perfect safety. Yet for all its might, so great it reaches past the

Tx:18.10  not joined together in illusions but in the Thought so holy and so  perfect that illusions cannot remain to darken the holy place in
Tx:18.10  Him in peace and gratitude and accept His gift as our most holy and  perfect reality, which we share in Him.

Tx:21.10  with no break or limit anywhere. Within it everything is joined in  perfect continuity. Nor is it possible to imagine that anything could
Tx:22.13  that drew them gently into one. Rather, in each the other saw a  perfect shelter where his Self could be reborn in safety and in
Tx:22.28  sin still tempts you to remain in misery? Heaven is the home of  perfect purity, and God created it for you. Look on your holy

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

Tx:25.20  of Him joins in His praise, to share His joy. This brother is His  perfect gift to you. And He is glad and thankful when you thank His
Tx:25.20  perfect gift to you. And He is glad and thankful when you thank His  perfect Son for being what he is. And all His thanks and gladness

Tx:27.11  is Heaven free to be remembered. Here its peace can come and  perfect healing take the place of death. The body can become a sign

Tx:28.28 What waits in  perfect certainty beyond salvation is not our concern. For you have
Tx:28.45  the broken pieces of Your holy Son. Your holiness, complete and  perfect, lies in every one of them. And they are joined because what

Tx:29.21  made incomplete by your perfection? Or are you the proof that He is  perfect and complete? Deny Him not His witness in the dream His Son
Tx:29.34  but the shining glory of His gift to you. Behold His Son, His  perfect gift in whom his Father shines forever and to whom is all
Tx:29.57  to all living things, give way to chaos, and the Son of God, as  perfect, sinless and as loving as his Father, come to hate a little

Tx:30.22  coerced but merely hope to get a thing you want. And you can say in  perfect honesty,
Tx:30.34  but ensured that you would never lose your will when He gave you His  perfect answer. Hear it now that you may be reminded of His love and

Tx:30.78 God's Son is  perfect, or he cannot be God's Son. Nor will you know him if you

W1:95.1  yourself and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your  perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do not accept this

W1:95.17  to teach the world the truth about itself. You are One Self, in  perfect harmony with all there is and all that there will be. You are

W1:162.5 We honor you today. Yours is the right to  perfect holiness you now accept. With this acceptance is salvation

Tx:10.60  and what you perceive is your interpretation. This course is  perfectly clear. You do not see it clearly because you are

Tx:15.1  means to have no cares, no worries, no anxieties, but merely to be  perfectly calm and quiet all the time? Yet that is what time is for—

Tx:21.45 This part has seen your brother and recognized him  perfectly since time began. And it desired nothing but to join with
Tx:21.45  that this is madness. For this your reason tells you, and it follows  perfectly from what you have already learned.
Tx:21.51  could they do so. But minds cannot be separate. This other Self is  perfectly aware of this. And thus It recognizes that miracles do not
Tx:23.10  triumph, and attack of any kind are all unknown. He loves you  perfectly, completely, and eternally. The Son of God at war with his
Tx:24.28  and hurls it into chaos. Truth is not frail. Illusions leave it  perfectly unmoved [and undisturbed]. But specialness is not the truth

Tx:25.49  Take it gently then from one another's hand, and let salvation be  perfectly fulfilled in both of you. Do this one thing, that
Tx:26.17  opens wide the door beyond which is the memory of His love kept  perfectly intact and undefiled. And all you need to do is but to wish
Tx:26.39  you only what is now.] A dreadful instant in a distant past, now  perfectly corrected, is of no concern nor value. Let the dead and
Tx:27.49  world requires that it may be healed. It needs one lesson which has  perfectly been learned. And then when you forget it will the world
Tx:28.9  be effects. The miracle reminds you of a Cause forever present,  perfectly untouched by time and interference—never changed from

Tx:30.60  of God knows everything his Father understands and understands it  perfectly with Him.
Tx:30.61  this is God's own purpose—only His, and yet completely shared and  perfectly fulfilled. The real world is a state in which the mind has

Tx:19.36  other as yourself. Your relationship is now a temple of healing—a  place where all the weary ones can come and find rest. Here is the
Tx:19.42  Will of God, just by a little. And that little is a limit you would  place upon the whole. God's Will is One, not many. It has no

Tx:22.60  lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to keep the fear of God in  place, unmovable and solid as a rock. While this remains, so will it

Tx:23.10  the war against yourself is almost over. The journey's end is at the  place of peace. Would you not now accept the peace offered you here?

Tx:23.32  belief that it is true. It is the function of insanity to take the  place of truth. It must be seen as truth to be believed. And if it is
Tx:23.46  because the guns are stilled an instant and the fear that haunts the  place of death is not apparent, that it will not return. There is no

Tx:24.18 You who have chained your savior to your specialness and given it his  place, remember this: He has not lost the power to forgive you all
Tx:24.20  His Heaven so remote that they cannot be reached. Here in this holy  place does truth stand waiting to receive you both in silent blessing
Tx:24.20  nothing stands outside. Leave all illusions of yourself outside this  place to which you come in hope and honesty.

Tx:24.58  cannot be what governs part of God holds not for all the rest. You  place yourself under the laws you see as ruling him. Think, then, how

Tx:24.62  is lavished? What is this parody of God's creation that takes the  place of yours? And where are they, now that the host of God has
Tx:25.10 All this takes note of time and  place as if they were discrete, for while you think that part of you
Tx:25.13  of satisfaction from the world you see? In no respect at any time or  place has anything but fear and guilt been your reward. How long is
Tx:25.13  to base your future hopes and no suggestions of success at all. To  place your hopes where no hope lies must make you hopeless. Yet is

Tx:25.56  in which you think you find yourself and where you can be free of  place and time and all that you believe must limit you. The Son of

Tx:25.83  justice if some errors are unforgivable and warrant vengeance in  place of healing and return of peace?
Tx:26.12  saw them vanish one by one without regard to size, complexity, or  place and time, or any attribute which you perceive that makes each
Tx:26.16  transformed into a universal blessing. Sacrifice is gone. And in its  place the love of God can be remembered and will shine away all
Tx:26.19  of thought which stands between this world and Heaven. It is not a  place, and when you reach it is apart from time. Here is the
Tx:26.20  past the gate where Oneness is. Salvation is a borderland where  place and time and choice have meaning still, and yet it can be seen
Tx:26.20  still, and yet it can be seen that they are temporary, out of  place, and every choice has been already made.
Tx:26.27 The holy  place on which you stand is but the space that sin has left. And here
Tx:26.27  sin has left. And here you see the face of Christ arising in its  place. Who could behold the face of Christ and not recall His Father
Tx:26.27  Who could fear love and stand upon the ground where sin has left a  place for Heaven's altar to rise and tower far above the world and
Tx:26.36  stand upon a distant shore and dream himself across an ocean to a  place and time that have long since gone by? How real a hindrance can
Tx:26.37 Is this a hindrance to the  place whereon he stands? Is any echo from the past that he may hear a

Tx:26.45  Without Him you are friendless. Seek not another friend to take His  place. There is no other friend. What God appointed has no
Tx:26.46  Make no illusion friend, for if you do, it can but take the  place of Him whom God has called your Friend. And it is He who is

Tx:27.58  And this it proves because its own effects have come to take their  place. It matters not the name by which you called your suffering. It
Tx:27.61  will be revealed to you who chose to let love's symbols take the  place of sin.
Tx:27.74 Rest in the Holy Spirit and allow His gentle dreams to take the  place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear of death. He brings
Tx:27.77  it were a person, to be seen and be believed. It takes the central  place in every dream, which tells the story of how it was made by

Tx:28.11  Their own remembering is quiet now, and what has come to take its  place will not be wholly unremembered afterwards.
Tx:28.15  not? And where is sacrifice, when memory of God has come to take the  place of loss? What better way to close the little gap between
Tx:28.22  of them when he perceives he made them up. The fear was held in  place because he did not see that he was author of the dream, and not
Tx:28.32  enclosing nothing, doing nothing, and as unsubstantial as the empty  place between the ripples that a ship has made in passing by. And
Tx:28.35  you witness to what never was. And in your storehouse it will make a  place of welcome for your Father and your Self. The door is open that
Tx:28.44  to take the broken picture of the Son of God and put the pieces into  place again. This holy picture, healed entirely, does He hold out to
Tx:28.44  your brother's evil dream, this is the picture that the miracle will  place within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of sickness
Tx:28.46  to let illusions go is all the Healer of God's Son requires. He will  place the miracle of healing where the seeds of sickness were. And
Tx:28.50  conceived a little gap between illusions and the truth to be the  place where all your safety lies and where your Self is safely hidden
Tx:28.52  dreams and from illusions. Truth has left no room for them in any  place or time. For it fills every place and every time and makes them
Tx:28.52  has left no room for them in any place or time. For it fills every  place and every time and makes them wholly indivisible.
Tx:28.53  to be existing here. The world you see does not exist because the  place where you perceive it is not real. The gap is carefully
Tx:29.1 There is no time, no  place, no state where God is absent. There is nothing to be feared.
Tx:29.14  waits for you to come where you invited Him to be. There is no other  place where He can find His host nor where His host can meet with
Tx:29.23 There, in its  place, God's Witness has set forth the gentle way of kindness to
Tx:29.31 There is a  place in you where this whole world has been forgotten, where no
Tx:29.31  where no memory of sin and of illusion lingers still. There is a  place in you which time has left, and echoes of eternity are heard.
Tx:29.31  time has left, and echoes of eternity are heard. There is a resting  place so still no sound except a hymn to Heaven rises up to gladden
Tx:29.31  is Heaven and is peace. Think not that you can change Their dwelling  place. For your Identity abides in Them, and where They are, forever
Tx:29.42  what a joyous thing it is to dwell a little while in such a happy  place! Nor can it be forgot in such a world, it is a little while
Tx:29.42  it is a little while till timelessness comes quietly to take the  place of time.
Tx:29.43  Each idol that you worship when God calls will never answer in His  place. There is no other answer you can substitute and find the
Tx:29.48  dwells within, and your completion lies in Him. No idol takes His  place. Look not to idols. Do not seek outside yourself. Let us forget
Tx:29.49  have, and thus do you decide what it is for. You try to see in it a  place of idols found outside yourself, with power to make complete
Tx:29.51  The sacrifice of death is nothing lost. An idol cannot take the  place of God. Let Him remind you of His love for you, and do not seek
Tx:29.52  which never is perceived and recognized. Be it a body or a thing, a  place, a situation or a circumstance, an object owned or wanted, or a
Tx:29.55  source abides within your mind, where God abideth not. Where is this  place where what is everywhere has been excluded and been kept apart?
Tx:29.57  anti-Christ—the strange idea there is a power past omnipotence, a  place beyond the infinite, a time transcending the eternal. Here the
Tx:29.57  Here the world of idols has been set by the idea this power and  place and time are given form and shape the world where the
Tx:29.58 Where is an idol? Nowhere! Can there be a gap in what is infinite, a  place where time can interrupt eternity? A place of darkness set
Tx:29.58  in what is infinite, a place where time can interrupt eternity? A  place of darkness set where all is light, a dismal alcove separated
Tx:29.58  is light, a dismal alcove separated off from what is endless, has no  place to be. An idol is beyond where God has set all things forever
Tx:29.59  of something is an idol for. And when one fails, another takes its  place with hope of finding more of something else. Be not deceived by
Tx:30.39  be a substitute for God the Father's love? What form can take the  place of all the love in the divinity of God the Son? What idol can
Tx:30.46  earth or not. The sky embraces it and softly holds it in its perfect  place, which is as far from earth as earth from Heaven. It is not the
Tx:30.54  to be deceived. And you can make a simple choice that will forever  place you far beyond deception. You need not concern yourself with
Tx:30.57  becomes its aim. The value of forgiveness is perceived and takes the  place of idols which are sought no longer, for their “gifts” are not
Tx:30.58  by which it can be gained can now be understood. The world becomes a  place of hope because its only purpose is to be a place where hope of
Tx:30.58  world becomes a place of hope because its only purpose is to be a  place where hope of happiness can be fulfilled. And no one stands
Tx:30.72  is the only change that lets the real world rise to take the  place of dreams of terror. Fear cannot arise unless attack is
Tx:30.88  what it stands for, and you will believe the world is an uncertain  place in which you walk in danger and uncertainty. It is but your
Tx:30.94  upon when you decide there is not one appearance you would hold in  place of what your brother really is. Let no temptation to prefer a
Tx:31.12  as you are free because an ancient learning passed away and left a  place for truth to be reborn.
Tx:31.22  a call that never has been made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy  place to which you come to listen silently and learn the truth of
Tx:31.23  you and thinks perhaps a bit behind, a bit ahead, would be a safer  place for him to be. Can you make progress if you think the same,
Tx:31.30  for here guilt rules and orders that the world be like itself—a  place where nothing can find mercy or survive the ravages of fear
Tx:31.33  which its purpose is to keep. Why should this be? Because it is a  place where choice among illusions seems to be the only choice. And
Tx:31.36 Why would you seek to try another road, another person, or another  place when you have learned the way the lesson starts but do not yet
Tx:31.44  no likeness to yourself at all. It is an idol, made to take the  place of your reality as Son of God. The concept of the self the
Tx:31.64  passed that both may disappear, so that perception finds no hiding  place. How is this done? It is not done at all. What could there be
Tx:31.67  So the world is seen as stable, fully worthy of your trust; a happy  place to rest in for a while, where nothing need be feared but only
Tx:31.84 Choose once again if you would take your  place among the saviors of the world, or would remain in hell and
Tx:31.88  and let Christ's strength prevail in every circumstance and every  place you raised an image of yourself before. For what appears to
Tx:31.93  to my words. I ask for nothing but your own release. There is no  place for hell within a world whose loveliness can yet be so intense

W1:89.2  and replace them with miracles. And I would accept the miracles in  place of the grievances, which are but illusions that hide the
W1:90.2  of the grievance and my welcome of the miracle which takes its  place.
W1:91.10  your attributes to be corrected, and their opposites to take their  place. Say, for example:
W1:92.9  Self stands ready to embrace you as Its own. Such is the meeting  place we try today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where
W1:92.10  the body's eyes and asking truth to show us how to find the meeting  place of self and Self, where light and strength are one.
W1:93.10  practice period in trying to experience what God has given you in  place of what you have decreed for yourself.
W1:95.12  is true. Today we will affirm this truth again and try to reach the  place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true. Begin
W1:96.3  in conflict could not be resolved, and good and evil have no meeting  place. The self you made can never be your Self, nor can your Self be
W1:96.4  physical, your mind is gone from your self-concept, for it has no  place in which it could be really part of you. If you are Spirit,

W1:98.3  their function will be filled completely in the perfect time and  place. They took the stand which we will take today that we may share
W1:99.3 How could there be a meeting  place at all where earth and Heaven can be reconciled within a mind
W1:99.20  let all fear be gently laid aside that Love may find Its rightful  place in you and show you that you are the Son of God.
W1:100.4  on earth calls to all minds to let their sorrows go and take their  place beside you in God's plan. God's messengers are joyous, and
W1:100.8  be happy. Only this is asked of you or anyone who wants to take his  place among God's messengers. Think what this means. You have indeed
W1:100.10  there. And you can reach Him now. What could you rather look upon in  place of Him Who waits that you may look on Him? What little thought
W1:103.6  as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the  place of pain. God being Love, it will be given you. Bolster this
W1:104.1  God, Who cannot fail to give you what He wills. Yet must there be a  place made ready to receive His gifts. They are not welcomed gladly
W1:104.3  Therefore we will to have them now and know in choosing them in  place of what we made we but unite our will with what God wills and
W1:104.7 We clear a holy  place within our minds before His altar, where His gifts of peace and
W1:107.4  liberating you from all beliefs in the ephemeral. They have no  place because the truth has come, and they are nowhere. They cannot
W1:108.1  because the Thought behind it will appear instead, to take its  place. And now we are at peace forever, for the dream is over now.
W1:108.4  depend on which is seen as first, nor which appears to be in second  place. Here it is understood that both occur together, that the
W1:109.11  were born and where they rest. And we remind them of their resting  place each time we tell ourselves,
W1:110.2  will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any time or  place. It is enough to heal the past and make the future free. It is

W1:124.2  God and with itself. How easily do errors disappear and death give  place to everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the way to
W1:125.4  holy time of peace. We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet  place within the mind where He abides forever in the holiness which
W1:126.2 Let us consider what you do believe in  place of this idea. It seems to you that other people are apart from
W1:126.9  idea. It is the thought by which forgiveness takes its proper  place in your priorities. It is the thought that will release your

W1:127.8  Voice will answer. He Himself has promised this. And He Himself will  place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you give up a false
W1:128.3 Escape today the chains you  place upon your mind when you perceive salvation here. For what you
W1:129.5  the world you do not want. Here is the world that comes to take its  place as you unbind your mind from little things the world sets forth

W1:130.12  of Heaven still remains within your range of choice to take the  place of everything that hell would show to you. All you need say to
W1:131.1  succeed where contradiction is the setting of his searching and the  place to which he comes to find stability?
W1:131.10 Today we will not choose a paradox in  place of truth. How could the Son of God make time to take away the
W1:131.10  believes that he abides in what does not exist, while Heaven is the  place he cannot find. Leave foolish thoughts like these behind today,
W1:131.11  the foolish images that we held dear, with true ideas arising in the  place of thoughts which have no meaning, no effect, and neither
W1:131.14  think are true. Then let them go, and sink below them to the holy  place where they can enter not. There is a door beneath them in your
W1:131.17  This is a day of gladness, for we come to the appointed time and  place where you will find the goal of all your searching here and all
W1:132.10  foundation for today's idea. You are as God created you. There is no  place where you can suffer and no time that can bring change to your
W1:132.10  can bring change to your eternal state. How can a world of time and  place exist if you remain as God created you?
W1:133.5  all of them in time and not been brought so clearly to the  place where there is but one choice that must be made.
W1:136.7  stand but for your own decision of what should be real, to take the  place of what is real.
W1:136.18  flash across your open mind as peace and truth arise to take the  place of war and vain imaginings. There will be no dark corners
W1:137.5  have not occurred. Just as the real world will arise to take the  place of what has never been at all, healing but offers restitution
W1:137.7  forgiveness shines away all sin and the real world will occupy the  place of what you made, so healing must replace the fantasies of
W1:137.16  hold but what you give, and to receive the Word of God to take the  place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we
W1:139.6  universal here is true? Nothing the world believes is true. It is a  place whose purpose is to be a home where those who claim they do not
W1:140.5  in holy temples. He is barred where sin has entered. Yet there is no  place where He is not. And therefore sin can have no home in which to
W1:140.5  can have no home in which to hide from His beneficence. There is no  place where holiness is not, and nowhere sin and sickness can abide.
W1:R4.5  and hold correction off through self-deceptions made to take its  place.
W1:R4.6  only what you think with God. Your self-deceptions cannot take the  place of truth. No more than can a child who throws a stick into the
W1:R4.9  be enough to set the day along the lines which God appointed and to  place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that
W1:151.3  was than this. But how else do you judge the world you see? You  place pathetic faith in what your eyes and ears report. You think
W1:152.8  The power of decision is our own. Decide but to accept your rightful  place as co-creator of the universe, and all you think you made will
W1:152.8  that there ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will take the  place of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the Father
W1:153.13  happy game upon this earth. And then we go to take our rightful  place where truth abides and games are meaningless.
W1:155.2  is an illusion. Those who choose to come to it are seeking for a  place where they can be illusions and avoid their own reality. Yet
W1:157.3  lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy  place and leaves you for a moment to your Self.
W1:158.6  world of doubt and shadows made with the intangible. Here is a quiet  place within the world made holy by forgiveness and by love. Here are

W1:170.13  And now your heart remains at peace forever. You have chosen Him in  place of idols, and your attributes, given by your Creator, are
W1:R5.9 My resurrection comes again each time I lead a brother safely to the  place at which the journey ends and is forgot. I am renewed each time
W1:R5.15  periods, but to recall the mind as needed to its purpose. We  place faith in the experience that comes from practice, not the means
W1:182.1  is true. A memory of home keeps haunting you, as if there were a  place that called you to return, although you do not recognize the
W1:182.4  home that you would find again. The childhood of your body and its  place of shelter are a memory now so distorted that you merely hold a
W1:183.11  to let all things he thought he made be nameless now, and in their  place the holy Name of God becomes his judgment of their

W1:184.7  what the world would teach stops short of meaning. In its proper  place, it serves but as a starting point from which another kind of
W1:184.12  He gave to those who chose the teaching of the world to take the  place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is to let our minds

W1:185.7  acknowledges illusions are in vain, requesting the eternal in the  place of shifting dreams which seem to change in what they offer, but
W1:185.9  should be asked of all of them: “Is this what I would have, in  place of Heaven and the peace of God?” This is the choice you make.
W1:185.12  the gifts of God apart from every dream that ever seemed to take the  place of truth.
W1:187.8 Never believe that you can sacrifice. There is no  place for sacrifice in what has any value. If the thought occurs, its

W1:190.9 Lay down your arms and come without defense into the quiet  place where Heaven's peace holds all things still at last. Lay down
W1:190.11  as we are free to choose our joy instead of pain, our holiness in  place of sin, the peace of God instead of conflict, and the light of
W1:191.5 But let today's idea find a  place among your thoughts, and you have risen far above the world and
W1:191.5  and all the worldly thoughts that hold it prisoner. And from this  place of safety and escape, you will return and set it free. For he
W1:194.1  has reached the lawns that welcome you to Heaven's gate, the quiet  place of peace where you await with certainty the final step of God.
W1:194.4  really found in time. You are but asked to let the future go and  place it in God's hands. And you will see by your experience that you
W1:194.8  Place, then, your future in the hands of God. For thus you call the
W1:195.9 Today we learn to think of gratitude in  place of anger, malice, and revenge. We have been given everything.
W1:195.9  to our bitterness and to a self-perception which regards us in a  place of merciless pursuit where we are badgered ceaselessly and
W1:198.5  instead of trying to dismiss His words and substitute your own in  place of His?
W1:198.6  as this one will fade away, the Word of God will come to take its  place, for it will be remembered then and loved.
W1:198.7  has no meaning and attack appears as justified. Yet all are one—a  place where death is offered to God's Son and to his Father. You may
W1:198.7  may think They have accepted, but if you will look again upon the  place where you beheld Their blood, you will perceive a miracle
W1:R6.10 And then repeat the idea for the day, and let it take the  place of what you thought. Beyond such special applications of each
W1:R6.11 To Him I offer this review for you. I  place you in His charge and let Him teach you what to do and say and
W1:213.1  would have me learn. A lesson is a miracle which God offers to me in  place of thoughts I made that hurt me. What I learn of Him becomes
W1:214.1 [194] I  place the future in the hands of God. The past is gone; the future is
W2:WF.1  its falsity and therefore lets it go. What then is free to take its  place is now the Will of God.
W2:226.2  are open, and I hear Your Voice. What need have I to linger in a  place of vain desires and of broken dreams when Heaven can so easily
W2:WS.4 Let us come daily to this holy  place and spend a while together. Here we share our final dream. It
W2:233.1  I give You all my thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In  place of them, give me Your own. I give You all my acts as well, that
W2:WIW.2  what is fear except love's absence? Thus the world was meant to be a  place where God could enter not and where His Son could be apart from
W2:249.1  is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world becomes a  place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving. It is now so
W2:WIS.1  by which the mind is driven mad and seeks to let illusions take the  place of truth. And being mad, it sees illusions where the truth
W2:264.1 Father, You stand before me and behind, beside me, in the  place I see myself, and everywhere I go. You are in all the things I
W2:264.1  and every hand that reaches for my own. In You time disappears and  place becomes a meaningless belief. For what surrounds Your Son and
W2:279.1  Yet in reality his dreams are gone, with truth established in their  place. And now is freedom his already. Should I wait in chains which
W2:281.1  forgotten what You think and put my little, meaningless ideas in  place of where Your Thoughts belong and where They are. I can be hurt
W2:286.1 Father, how still today! How quietly do all things fall in  place! This is the day that has been chosen as the time in which I
W2:WISC.1  forever true. It is the invitation to God's Word to take illusion's  place, the willingness to let forgiveness rest upon all things
W2:317.1 I have a special  place to fill—a role for me alone. Salvation waits until I take
W2:328.1 What seems to be the second  place is first, for all things we perceive are upside-down until we
W2:332.1  Real. Forgiveness bids this presence enter in and take its rightful  place within the mind. Without forgiveness is the mind in chains,
W2:344.1  as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty  place where nothing ever was or is or will be. Who can share a dream?
W2:E.4 And now I  place you in His hands, to be His faithful followers, with Him as
M:1.3  in words or soundlessly, in any language or in no language, in any  place or time or manner. It does not matter who the teacher was
M:2.4  had not met before. The pupil comes at the right time to the right  place. This is inevitable, because he made the right choice in that
M:4.4  when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him? And who would  place his faith in the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts of
M:4.15  And who would choose the weakness that must come from harm in  place of the unfailing, all-encompassing, and limitless strength of
M:5.7  all confusion about creation. Does not this follow of necessity?  Place cause and effect in their true sequence in one respect, and the
M:5.9  Son of God, what life can offer you. Would you choose sickness in  place of this?
M:8.6  as reality is wholly real, apart from size and shape and time and  place—for differences cannot exist within it—so too are illusions
M:14.5 The world will end in joy because it is a  place of sorrow. When joy has come, the purpose of the world has
M:14.5  of the world has gone. The world will end in peace because it is a  place of war. When peace has come, what is the purpose of the world?
M:14.5  purpose of the world? The world will end in laughter because it is a  place of tears. Where there is laughter, who can longer weep? And
M:16.6  because all things are freed within it. You think you made a  place of safety for yourself. You think you made a power that can

M:16.8  and the instant this occurs he will return to earlier attempts to  place reliance on himself alone. Forget not this is magic and that
M:17.5  surely so. And herein lies the birthplace of guilt. Who usurps the  place of God and takes it for himself now has a deadly “enemy.” And
M:17.7  Each one says clearly to your frightened mind, “You have usurped the  place of God. Think not He has forgotten.” Here we have the fear of
M:19.3  in which all thought of wholeness must be lost. Forgiveness has no  place in such a scheme, for not one “sin” but seems forever true.
M:20.2  a contrast of true differences. The past just slips away and in its  place is everlasting quiet. Only that. The contrast first perceived
M:22.3  that can order a mind to do as it sees fit would merely take the  place of God and prove salvation is impossible. What then is left to

W1:71.7  about this, because there is no possible alternative to God's  plan that will save you. His is the only plan that is certain in its
W1:71.7  alternative to God's plan that will save you. His is the only  plan that is certain in its outcome. His is the only plan that must

W1:72.3  perhaps not so apparent why holding grievances is an attack on God's  plan for salvation. But let us consider the kinds of things which you
W1:72.5 If God is a body, what must His  plan for salvation be? What could it be but death? In trying to

W1:72.11  in the longer practice periods today is to become aware that God's  plan for salvation has already been accomplished in us. To achieve
W1:72.11  acceptance. As long as we attack it, we cannot understand what God's  plan for us is. We are therefore attacking what we do not recognize.
W1:72.11  Now we are going to try to lay judgment aside and ask what God's  plan for us is:

Tx:18.62 It is  possible because you want it. The sudden expansion of the self which
Tx:19.6  this divided goal has given both an equal reality, which could be  possible only if the mind is limited to the body and divided into
Tx:19.17  with “sin,” and it is this distinction which makes salvation  possible. For error can be corrected, and the wrong made right. But
Tx:19.17  error can be corrected, and the wrong made right. But sin, were it  possible, would be irreversible. The belief in sin is necessarily
Tx:19.22  impossible to have faith in sin, for sin is faithlessness. Yet it is  possible to have faith that a mistake can be corrected.
Tx:19.26 The ego does not think it  possible that love, not fear, is really called upon by sin and always
Tx:19.67  obstacles you raise to freedom and bar my way to you. Yet it is not  possible to keep away One Who is there already. And in Him it is
Tx:19.67  not possible to keep away One Who is there already. And in Him it is  possible that our communion, where we are joined already, will be the

Tx:20.30  share. What God has given follows His laws and His alone. Nor is it  possible for those who follow them to suffer the results of any other
Tx:20.35  Perhaps this seems impossible to you. But ask yourself if it is  possible that God would have a plan for your salvation that does not
Tx:20.52  mad idea of making your relationship with God unholy seemed to be  possible, all your relationships were made meaningless. In that
Tx:20.60  your wanting of the purpose has been shaken. For if a goal is  possible to reach, the means to do so must be possible as well.
Tx:20.60  For if a goal is possible to reach, the means to do so must be  possible as well.
Tx:20.66  for it was given him to see, as was the vision which made his seeing  possible.
Tx:20.75 Only two purposes are  possible. And one is sin, the other holiness. Nothing is in between,
Tx:21.10  Within it everything is joined in perfect continuity. Nor is it  possible to imagine that anything could be outside, for there is
Tx:21.17  to find himself by chance or accident. No accident nor chance is  possible within the universe as God created it, outside of which is
Tx:21.20  separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is an idea that it is  possible that things should happen to the Son of God without his will
Tx:21.23  recognition comes of vision and suspended judgment. Then only is it  possible to look within and see what must be there plainly in sight
Tx:21.24  of wanting, and therefore of faith, to make its goals seem real and  possible. Faith in the unreal leads to adjustments of reality to make
Tx:21.39  one is but the sign the other has disappeared from sight. Nor is it  possible that what gives light be one with what depends on darkness
Tx:21.49  Yet it can show you the conditions in which awareness of reality is  possible or those where it could never be.

Tx:22.20  wills can be impossible, the means for its attainment are more than  possible. They must be there, and you must have them.
Tx:22.21  no hope of ever being done. You know what your Creator wills is  possible, but what you made believes it is not so. Now must you
Tx:22.24  fundamental illusion we have seen many times before. Only if it were  possible the Son of God could leave his Father's Mind, make himself
Tx:22.24  Mind, make himself different, and oppose His Will, would it be  possible that the self he made and all it made should be his master.
Tx:22.25  only if you would believe His Son could be His enemy does it seem  possible that what you made is yours. You would condemn His joy to
Tx:22.26  to look upon your savior as your enemy and recognize him. Yet it is  possible to recognize him for what he is if God would have it so.
Tx:22.29  of its undoing. For reason and the ego are contradictory. Nor is it  possible for them to co-exist in your awareness. And reason's goal is
Tx:22.51  for it where he believes it is and can be found. He will believe it  possible of mind or body, and he will make the other serve his choice
Tx:22.62  and all were separate from your Creator. For only then would it be  possible to attack a part of the creation without the whole, the Son
Tx:23.8  is this a victory that you would want? The death of God, if it were  possible, would be your death. Is this a victory? The ego always
Tx:23.8  always marches to defeat because it thinks that triumph over you is  possible. And God thinks otherwise. This is no war—only the mad
Tx:23.8  This is the conflict's purpose. And to those who think that it is  possible, the means seem real.
Tx:23.34  like these can be believed? There is a strange device that makes it  possible. Nor is it unfamiliar; we have seen how it appears to
Tx:23.38  govern all illusions. Their forms conflict, making it seem quite  possible to value some above the others. Yet each one rests as surely
Tx:23.40  the twisted stairway that leads from Heaven. Yet any instant it is  possible to have all this undone. How can you know whether you chose
Tx:23.44  Yet it seems difficult to those who still believe that compromise is  possible. They do not see that, if it is, salvation is attack. Yet it
Tx:23.44  it has come. Forgiveness cannot be withheld a little. Nor is it  possible to attack for this and love for that and understand
Tx:24.8 Would it be  possible for you to hate your brother if you were like him? Could you
Tx:24.24 The hope of specialness makes it seem  possible God made the body as the prison-house which keeps His Son
Tx:24.29  will never be and that you will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it  possible the two can ever be the same while specialness stands like a
Tx:24.38  must be “no.” A sinless brother is its enemy, while sin, if it were  possible, would be its friend. Your brother's sins would justify
Tx:24.40  of joy as you conceive it. What you wish is true for you. Nor is it  possible that you can wish for something and lack faith that it is
Tx:24.61  judgment makes no sense at all, for only what His Father wills is  possible, and there is no alternative for Him to see. Out of His lack
Tx:25.30  sin's perception must have been wrong. And thus is change made  possible. The Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far beyond the
Tx:25.44  of God upon your eyes and brings the gift of light that makes sight  possible.
Tx:25.50  God Himself. The world is safe from love to everyone who thinks sin  possible. Nor will it change. Yet is it possible what God created not
Tx:25.50  to everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor will it change. Yet is it  possible what God created not should share the attributes of His
Tx:25.51  Heaven. How could it be that hell and Heaven are the same? And is it  possible that what He did not will cannot be changed? What is
Tx:25.58  at all. To each his special function is designed to be perceived as  possible and more and more desired as it proves to him that it is an

Tx:25.78  Heaven. Not one sin would you retain. And not one doubt that this is  possible will you hold dear that sin be kept in place. You mean that
Tx:26.11  another. For there is but one mistake—the whole idea that loss is  possible and could result in gain for anyone. If this were true, then

Tx:26.47  all that must occur for healing to be possible. For when it once is  possible, it must occur. All sickness comes from separation. When the
Tx:26.51  one illusion be less amenable to truth than are the rest. But it is  possible that some are given greater value and less willingly offered
Tx:26.56  all things within Itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is  possible the instant that the Son of God perceives his wishes and the
Tx:26.60  illusions to be true, without success. For never will success be  possible in trying to deceive the Son of God.
Tx:26.61 The miracle is  possible when cause and consequence are brought together, not kept

Tx:29.3  perhaps, provided that your separate interests made your friendship  possible a little while. But not without a gap between you, lest he

W1:140.4  that is not a cure. It takes away the guilt that makes the sickness  possible. And that is cure indeed. For sickness now is gone, with

W1:187.2 How is this  possible? For it is sure that if you give a finite thing away, your

Tx:11.15  no power to the fog to obscure the light, it has none, for it has  power only because the Son of God gave power to it. He must himself
Tx:11.15  it has none, for it has power only because the Son of God gave  power to it. He must himself withdraw that power, remembering that
Tx:11.15  the Son of God gave power to it. He must himself withdraw that  power, remembering that all power is of God. You can remember this
Tx:11.15  to it. He must himself withdraw that power, remembering that all  power is of God. You can remember this for all the Sonship. Do not
Tx:11.37  it and gives existence to it. Yet it is also your mind that has the  power to deny the ego's existence, and you will surely do so when you
Tx:11.70 The  power of decision is your one remaining freedom as a prisoner of this
Tx:11.70  else, it is because you have looked within and thought you saw the  power to give something else within yourself. It was only this
Tx:11.71  mind is the loveliest of God's creations. Coming only from God, its  power and grandeur could only bring you peace if you really looked
Tx:11.83  never be content without reality. What God did not give you has no  power over you, and the attraction of love for love remains
Tx:12.13  love with weakness and hatred with strength, and your own real  power seems to you as your real weakness. For you could not control
Tx:12.19  Spirit is not welcome. And you will exempt yourself from His healing  power, for by not offering total love, you will not be healed
Tx:12.55  because they brought you here. Your light will join with theirs in  power so compelling that it will draw the others out of darkness as
Tx:12.60  real to you as the amount to which you hold it dear. And yet their  power is not the same because their real attraction to you is unequal.
Tx:12.61  to return to dust even as you made it. This aching world has not the  power to touch the living world at all. You could not give it that,
Tx:12.62 Yet the real world has the  power to touch you even here because you love it. And what you call
Tx:13.8  the holy banner of His teaching, and as we grow in strength, the  power of God's Son will move in us, and we will leave no one
Tx:13.9  are the witnesses to the Fatherhood of God, and He has given you the  power to create the witnesses to [yours, which is as His. Deny a
Tx:13.12  terms of the belief in which the faith was placed. Faith makes the  power of belief, and where it is invested determines its reward. For
Tx:13.13  will be like it. Whatever you hold as dear, you think is yours. The  power of your valuing will make it so.
Tx:13.43  nightmare that disturbed the Mind of God's sleeping Son holds no  power over him. He will learn the lesson of awaking. God watches over
Tx:13.51  dark. The thoughts which the Mind of God's Son projects have all the  power that he gives to them. The thoughts he shares with God are
Tx:13.68  for guilt; the Holy Spirit the decision for guiltlessness. The  power of decision is all that is yours. What you can decide between
Tx:13.70  not choose to free his brother and enter light with him. By giving  power to nothing, he threw away the joyous opportunity to learn that
Tx:13.70  he threw away the joyous opportunity to learn that nothing has no  power. And by not dispelling darkness, he became afraid of darkness
Tx:13.70  of darkness and of light. The joy of learning that darkness has no  power over the Son of God is the happy lesson the Holy Spirit teaches
Tx:13.72  you, for if you do, you teach yourself that what is not of God has  power over you. The causeless cannot be. Do not attest to it, and do
Tx:13.72  to deny the causeless and accept the Cause of God as yours. The  power that God has given to His Son is his, and nothing else can His
Tx:14.10  pain, no trial, no fear that teaching this can fail to overcome. The  power of God Himself supports this teaching and guarantees its
Tx:14.11 Join your own efforts to the  power that cannot fail and must result in peace. No one can be
Tx:14.11  by teaching such as this. You will not see yourself beyond the  power of God if you teach only this. You will not be exempt from the
Tx:14.12  attribute, with no one left outside to suffer guilt alone. The  power of God draws everyone to its safe embrace of love and union.
Tx:14.13 Blessed are you who teach with me. Our  power comes not of us but of our Father. In guiltlessness we know
Tx:14.13  stand with me on holy ground. Remember for everyone your Father's  power that He has given him. Believe not that you cannot teach His
Tx:14.14  He would release from fear and reestablish the reign of love. The  power of love is in His gentleness, which is of God and therefore
Tx:14.17  beneficence. What is kept apart from love cannot share its healing  power, because it has been separated off and kept in darkness. The
Tx:14.18 Would you continue to give imagined  power to these strange ideas of safety? They are neither safe nor
Tx:14.20  you are. All this, and nothing else, would He separate from you. The  power of decision, which you made in place of the power of creation,
Tx:14.20  from you. The power of decision, which you made in place of the  power of creation, He would teach you how to use on your behalf. You
Tx:14.29  to means of preservation and release. His task is mighty, but the  power of God is with Him. Therefore, to Him it is so easy that it was
Tx:14.32 In the darkness you have obscured the glory God gave you and the  power He bestowed upon His guiltless Son. All this lies hidden in
Tx:14.32  is the closing of the doors that interferes with recognition of the  power of God that shines in you. Banish not power from your mind, but
Tx:14.32  with recognition of the power of God that shines in you. Banish not  power from your mind, but let all that would hide your glory be
Tx:14.37 The link with which the Father joins Himself to those He gives the  power to create like Him can never be dissolved. Heaven itself is
Tx:14.40  The Atonement is so gentle you need but whisper to it, and all its  power will rush to your assistance and support. You are not frail
Tx:14.44 Could you but realize for a single instant the  power of healing that the reflection of God, shining in you, can
Tx:14.51  requires no judgment of your own. The answer is very simple. The  power of God, and not of you, engenders miracles. The miracle itself
Tx:14.51  miracles. The miracle itself is but the witness that you have the  power of God in you. That is the reason why the miracle gives equal
Tx:14.51  all who share in it, and that is also why everyone shares in it. The  power of God is limitless. And being always maximal, it offers
Tx:14.57  of His Son with all the love He holds for him. Nor will the  power of all His love be absent from any miracle you offer to His
Tx:14.58  the essential thing is learning that you do not know. Knowledge is  power, and all power is of God. You who have tried to keep power for
Tx:14.58  thing is learning that you do not know. Knowledge is power, and all  power is of God. You who have tried to keep power for yourselves have
Tx:14.58  is power, and all power is of God. You who have tried to keep  power for yourselves have lost it. You still have the power, but you
Tx:14.58  tried to keep power for yourselves have lost it. You still have the  power, but you have interposed so much between it and your awareness
Tx:14.58  cannot use it. Everything you have taught yourselves has made your  power more and more obscure to you. You know not what it is nor
Tx:14.58  you. You know not what it is nor where. You have made a semblance of  power and a show of strength so pitiful that it must fail you. For
Tx:14.58  power and a show of strength so pitiful that it must fail you. For  power is not a seeming strength, and truth is beyond semblance of any
Tx:14.58  semblance of any kind. Yet all that stands between you and the  power of God in you is but your learning of the false and your
Tx:14.59  of it. Can God learn how not to be God? And can His Son, given all  power by Him, learn to be powerless? What have you taught yourselves
Tx:14.61  God gave it. This lesson shines with God's glory, for in it lies His  power, which He shares so gladly with His Son.
Tx:14.75 The  power of God, from which they both arise, is yours as surely as it is
Tx:14.75  you. Leave room for Him, and you will find yourself so filled with  power that nothing will prevail against your peace. And this will be
Tx:15.15  Holy Spirit to use. He needs but very little to restore God's whole  power to you. He Who transcends time for you understands what time is
Tx:15.21  will depart from you in this practice, for it is the practice of the  power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you will never
Tx:15.24  when you realize that it is true and constitutes a tribute to your  power. You who have sought and found littleness, remember this: Every
Tx:15.26 The  power of God will support every effort you make on behalf of His dear
Tx:15.26  of His dear Son. Search for the little, and you deny yourself His  power. God is not willing that His Son be content with less than
Tx:15.28  with littleness are the decisions you have made about yourself. The  power and the glory that lie in you from God are for all who, like
Tx:15.34  Forget not that his call is yours, and answer him with me. God's  power is forever on the side of His host, for it protects only the
Tx:15.58 All separation vanishes as holiness is shared. For holiness is  power, and by sharing it, it gains in strength. If you seek for
Tx:15.58  of relationships which transcends the concept of loss of  power completely.
Tx:15.64  of all your brothers to replace it in your awareness. God and the  power of God will take their rightful place in you, and you will
Tx:15.77  that communication is salvation. And He will do so, for the  power of God in Him and you is joined in real relationship, so holy
Tx:15.88  strength between Heaven and hell, God and the ego, and release your  power unto creation, which is the only purpose for which it was given
Tx:15.90  of God. His attraction for you remains unlimited, but because your  power, being His, is as great as His, you can turn away from love.
Tx:15.92 It is in your  power in time to delay the perfect union of the Father and the Son.
Tx:15.93  instant, no guilt is laid upon the Son of God, and his unlimited  power is thus restored to him. What other gift can you offer me, when
Tx:15.94  acceptance of it, you have offered it to everyone. It is in your  power to make this season holy, for it is in your power to make the
Tx:15.94  It is in your power to make this season holy, for it is in your  power to make the time of Christ be now.
Tx:15.102  Host is as holy as the Perfect Innocence which He protects and Whose  power protects Him.
Tx:16.7  which looks to weakness and hopes to find love there. The  power of love, which is its meaning, lies in the strength of God,
Tx:16.17  listening will increase, and peace will grow with its increase. The  power of holiness and the weakness of attack have both been brought
Tx:16.17  in minds firmly convinced that holiness is weakness and attack is  power. Should not this be a sufficient miracle to teach you that your
Tx:16.20  to be used and not held idly by. They have already proved their  power sufficiently for you to place your faith in them and not in
Tx:16.25  know. And they communicate to you through the Holy Spirit, and their  power and gratitude to you for their creation they offer gladly to
Tx:16.27  what He is, will grow and help you honor Him. And you will learn His  power and strength and purity, and love Him as His Father does. His
Tx:16.53 How can you grant unlimited  power to what you think you have attacked? So fearful has the truth
Tx:16.53  You think it safer to endow the little self which you have made with  power you wrested from truth, triumphing over it and leaving it
Tx:16.53  to kill his self and on his body raise another self which takes its  power from his death. Over and over and over this ritual is enacted.
Tx:16.62  they are trying to decrease their magnitude. Each would deny his  power, for the separate union excludes the universe. Far more is left
Tx:16.76  Yet you will not attempt this long. In the holy instant, the  power of the Holy Spirit will prevail because you joined Him. The
Tx:16.79  which would heal and the ego's “atonement” which would destroy. The  power of God and all His Love, without limit, will support you as you
Tx:17.2  what you wish. This strange position in a sense acknowledges your  power. Yet by distorting it and devoting it to “evil,” it also makes
Tx:17.3  would keep them from truth. Very simply, your lack of faith in the  power that heals all pain arises from your wish to retain some
Tx:17.15  the ego's goals and make your relationships the witness to its  power. It is these shadow figures which would make the ego holy in
Tx:17.36  And your defense must now be undertaken to keep truth whole. The  power of Heaven, the love of God, the tears of Christ, and the joy of
Tx:17.42  ascendance in our minds. We will gain everything by giving Him the  power and the glory and keeping no illusions of where they are. They
Tx:17.70 The  power set in you in whom the Holy Spirit's goal has been established
Tx:17.76  given wherever faithlessness is laid aside unused. And then the  power of the Holy Spirit's purpose is free to use instead. This power
Tx:17.76  the power of the Holy Spirit's purpose is free to use instead. This  power instantly transforms all situations into one sure and
Tx:18.18 Dreams show you that you have the  power to make a world as you would have it be, and that because you
Tx:18.28  accomplishment. Your desire is now in complete accord with all the  power of the Holy Spirit's will. No little, faltering footsteps that
Tx:18.31  has joined with you to give the little spark of your desire the  power of God Himself, can you remain in darkness? You are coming home
Tx:18.35  the result of your small willingness combined with the unlimited  power of God's Will. You have been wrong in thinking that it is
Tx:18.46  threatens the peace of one is an equal threat to the other. The  power of joining and its blessing lie in the fact that it is now
Tx:18.77  as it rests upon the ocean. Yet in neither sun nor ocean is the  power that rests in you. Would you remain within your tiny kingdom, a

Tx:19.19  of God can be mistaken; he can deceive himself; he can even turn the  power of his mind against himself. But he cannot sin. There is
Tx:19.30  through it. If it does not obey, the mind is judged insane. The only  power which could change perception is thus kept impotent, held to
Tx:19.31  For He must have created what wills to destroy Him and has the  power to do so. Is it not easier to believe that you have been
Tx:19.32  holy could not prevail against it nor remain itself before the  power of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than God, before which God
Tx:19.33  it would forever be beyond the hope of healing. For there would be a  power beyond God's, capable of making another will which could attack
Tx:19.34  be healed of sin and all its ravages the instant that you give it no  power over each other. And you will help each other overcome mistakes
Tx:19.66  everyone offers you witness of the end of sin and shows you that its  power is gone forever. Where can guilt be, when the belief in sin is
Tx:19.68  For what He gives must be extended if you would have its limitless  power and use it for the Son of God's release. It is not this you
Tx:19.83  to the incorruptible have been given through your acceptance the  power to release from corruption. What better way to teach the first
Tx:19.94  to love, Love Itself has called, and each has been surmounted by the  power of the attraction of what lies beyond. Your wanting fear seemed
Tx:19.97  them. It would not have you see its weakness and learn it has no  power to keep you from the truth. The Guide Who brought you here
Tx:19.102  you will receive of him according to your choice. He has in him the  power to forgive your sins, as you for him. Neither can give it to

Tx:20.24  you look on is the answer that it gave you, and you have given it  power to adjust the world to make its answer true. You asked this
Tx:20.24  of the one thing that still would have it be unholy. Give it no  power to adjust the means and end.
Tx:20.28 Nothing can hurt you unless you give it the  power to do so. For you give power as the laws of this world
Tx:20.28  can hurt you unless you give it the power to do so. For you give  power as the laws of this world interpret giving—as you give, you
Tx:20.28  giving—as you give, you lose. It is not up to you to give  power at all. Power is of God, given by Him and reawakened by the
Tx:20.28 —as you give, you lose. It is not up to you to give power at all.  Power is of God, given by Him and reawakened by the Holy Spirit, Who
Tx:20.28  the Holy Spirit, Who knows that as you give, you gain. He gives no  power to sin, and therefore it has none; nor to its results as this
Tx:20.28  have not occurred because the Holy Spirit sees them not and gives no  power to their seeming source. Thus would He keep you free of them.
Tx:20.29  laws of God in minds that have established other laws and given them  power to enforce what God created not.
Tx:20.30  were made to guarantee that you would make mistakes and give them  power over you by accepting their results as your just due. What
Tx:20.31 Those who choose freedom will experience only its results. Their  power is of God, and they will give it only to what God has given to
Tx:20.31  but this can touch them, for they see only this, sharing their  power according to the Will of God. And thus their freedom is
Tx:20.31  for those with little wings have not accepted for themselves the  power to share with you.
Tx:20.32 The sinless give as they received. See, then, the  power of sinlessness within your brother and share with him the power
Tx:20.32  the power of sinlessness within your brother and share with him the  power of the release from sin you offered him. To each who walks this
Tx:20.38  and given welcome. Peace to your holy relationship, which has the  power to hold the unity of the Son of God together. You give to one
Tx:20.48  are kept obscure and hidden from the sun. It does not seek for  power, but for relationships. The body is the ego's chosen weapon for
Tx:20.48  for relationships. The body is the ego's chosen weapon for seeking  power through relationships. And its relationships must be unholy,
Tx:20.53  no trace behind their going. The unholy instant of their seeming  power is frail as is a snowflake, but without its loveliness. Is this
Tx:20.71 The body is the sign of weakness, vulnerability, and loss of  power. Can such a savior help you? Would you turn in your distress
Tx:20.72  under His gentle gaze. What can the body's eyes perceive, with  power to correct? Its eyes adjust to sin, unable to overlook it in
Tx:20.74  this. Once you accept this simple fact and take unto yourself the  power you gave them, you are released from them. One thing is sure—
Tx:21.2  in you and to accept as yours. And if this is its meaning, then the  power to give it joy must lie within you.]
Tx:21.14  you. Say only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the  power of salvation lies:
Tx:21.17  that the happenings that come to him were not his choice. His  power of decision is the determiner of every situation in which he
Tx:21.17  and you decided sin was your goal. Be happy, and you gave the  power of decision to Him Who must decide for God for you. This is the
Tx:21.17  He gave to you to give yourself. For by this gift is given you the  power to release your savior that he may give salvation unto you.
Tx:21.18  the one you do is given you because you want it. Yet for this, the  power of your wanting must first be recognized. You must accept its
Tx:21.21  against what must forever be. This is the statement that he has the  power to make God powerless and so to take it for himself and leave
Tx:21.24  what it wants to make it so. There is no better demonstration of the  power of wanting, and therefore of faith, to make its goals seem real
Tx:21.26  that you made yourself. For if you think the world you made has  power to make you what it wills, you are confusing Son and Father,
Tx:21.27  with It is the Source of his creating. Apart from this he has no  power to create, and what he makes is meaningless. It changes nothing
Tx:21.30  faith and with the persistence that faith inevitably brings. The  power of faith is never recognized if it is placed in sin. But it is
Tx:21.31  faith can move mountains? This is indeed a little feat for such a  power. For faith can keep the Son of God in chains as long as he
Tx:21.33  faith, but faith in nothing. Faith given to illusions does not lack  power, for by it does the Son of God believe that he is powerless.
Tx:21.36  be removed. Desiring to look upon their brothers in holiness, the  power of belief and faith goes far beyond the body, supporting
Tx:21.36  had limited their understanding of the world, desiring to place its  power elsewhere should another point of view be given them. The
Tx:21.38 Your faith in sacrifice has given it great  power in your sight, except you do not realize you cannot see because
Tx:21.40  You can have faith in it to serve the Holy Spirit's goal and give it  power to serve as means to help the blind to see. But in their
Tx:21.59  the belief. For uncorrected error of any kind deceives you about the  power that is in you to make correction. If it can correct and you
Tx:21.65  like love, would reassure you and seeks not to frighten you. The  power to heal the Son of God is given you because he must be one with
Tx:21.69 The  power that you have over the Son of God is not a threat to his
Tx:21.71  can they be except his enemy? And what can they do but envy him his  power and by their envy make themselves afraid of it? These are the
Tx:21.71  ones, silent and afraid, alone and not communicating, fearful the  power of the Son of God will strike them dead and raising up their
Tx:21.72  strong are never treacherous because they have no need to dream of  power and to act out their dream. How would an army act in dreams?
Tx:21.76  seem to be the last remaining hope of finding sin and not accepting  power.
Tx:21.77 Forget not that the choice of truth or sin,  power or helplessness, is the choice of whether to attack or heal.
Tx:21.77  is the choice of whether to attack or heal. For healing comes of  power and attack of helplessness. Whom you attack you cannot want to
Tx:21.81  change your mind. You can desire to exchange your helplessness for  power, and lose this same desire as a little glint of sin attracts
Tx:21.84  constant vision can be given only those who wish for constancy. The  power of the Son of God's desire remains the proof that he is wrong
Tx:21.84  and you will look on it and think it real. No thought but has the  power to release or kill. And none can leave the thinker's mind or
Tx:21.87  desires that everything be like itself and sees it so. Nothing has  power to confound its constancy because its own desire cannot be
Tx:21.88  his desire of something he believes holds out some promise of the  power of giving it. He may be wrong in what he asks, where, and of
Tx:21.89  God's Will and are His happiness, whose will is powerful as His, a  power that is not lost in your illusions, think carefully why it
Tx:22.19  makes all truth meaningless and all illusions real. Such is the  power of belief. It cannot compromise. And faith in innocence is
Tx:22.24 Let us look closer at the whole illusion that what you made has  power to enslave its maker. This is the same belief that caused the
Tx:22.25  that it must be healed and not with fear. Nothing you made has any  power over you unless you still would be apart from your Creator and
Tx:22.27  rests, in time and yet beyond, immortal yet on earth. How great the  power that lies in it. Time waits upon its will, and earth will be as
Tx:22.39  and make the other choice. This is not so. A choice made with the  power of Heaven to uphold it cannot be undone. Your way is decided.
Tx:22.47  wholly undefending, for in this quiet state alone is strength and  power. Here can no weakness enter, for here is no attack and
Tx:22.54  nothing given it but will be used. This holy relationship has the  power to heal all pain, regardless of its form. Neither of you alone
Tx:22.59  blessing from it nor limit it in any way. He will join to it all the  power that God has given Him to make each little gift of love a
Tx:22.60  welfare of the world. And it is only arrogance that would deny the  power of your will. Think you the Will of God is powerless? Is this
Tx:22.61  or yourself than to attack the great Creator of the universe, whose  power you know.
Tx:22.62  were one with God and recognized this oneness, you would know His  power is yours. But you will not remember this while you believe
Tx:22.65  you cannot fear alone when your relationship can also teach the  power of love is there, which makes all fear impossible? Do not
Tx:23.7  Conflict within you must imply that you believe the ego has the  power to be victorious. Why else would you identify with it? Surely
Tx:23.14 Conflict must be between two forces. It cannot exist between one  power and nothingness. There is nothing you could attack that is not
Tx:23.50  for what it is limits the healing and the miracles you have the  power to extend to all. Yet does the Holy Spirit understand how to
Tx:24.1  are. And what illusion that idly seems to drift between them has the  power to defeat what is Their will?
Tx:24.2  jeopardize your learning. No belief is neutral. Every one has the  power to dictate each decision you make. For a decision is a
Tx:24.4  have been made and kept hidden to become beliefs, now given  power to direct all subsequent decisions. Mistake you not the power
Tx:24.4  given power to direct all subsequent decisions. Mistake you not the  power of these hidden warriors to disrupt your peace. For it is at
Tx:24.13  strong support? Who can detract from his omnipotence yet share his  power? And who can use him as the gauge of littleness and be released
Tx:24.18  and given it his place, remember this: He has not lost the  power to forgive you all the sins you think you placed between him
Tx:24.27  what God created not. And yet this idol that seems to give you  power has taken it away. For you have given your brother's birthright
Tx:24.40  it is so. Wishing makes real, as surely as does will create. The  power of a wish upholds illusions as strongly as does love extend
Tx:24.57  in His Son, whom you mistook as flesh and bound to laws that have no  power over him at all.
Tx:24.59  the body. In its eyes, you are a separate universe with all the  power to hold itself complete within itself, with every entry shut
Tx:24.60  vigilance—with little effort and with little time and with the  power of God maintaining it and promising success. Yet of the two, it
Tx:24.60  it no sacrifice is asked, no strain called forth, and all the  power of Heaven and the might of truth itself is given to provide the
Tx:25.21  Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the Son alike. Nothing has  power over you except His Will and yours, who but extend His Will. It
Tx:25.22  that you may esteem yourself and him. To each of you is given the  power of salvation that escape from darkness into light be yours to
Tx:25.30 The Maker of the world of gentleness has perfect  power to offset the world of violence and hate that seems to stand
Tx:25.31  never sin, but he can wish for what would hurt him. And he has the  power to think he can be hurt. What could this be except a
Tx:25.42  of God may cherish toward himself is God believed to be without the  power to save what He created from the pain of hell. But in the love
Tx:25.43  and only bless. And being in accord with what God wills, he has the  power to heal and bless all those he looks on with the grace of God
Tx:25.54 The Holy Spirit has the  power to change the whole foundation of the world you see to
Tx:25.72  does mercy stand at God's right hand and give the Son of God the  power to forgive himself of sin.
Tx:25.75 You can be perfect witness to the  power of love and justice if you understand it is impossible the Son

Tx:27.31  is nothing to attack or to deny, love, or hate, or to endow with  power or to see as weak. The picture has been wholly canceled out

Tx:29.57 This is the anti-Christ—the strange idea there is a  power past omnipotence, a place beyond the infinite, a time

Tx:30.77  cannot be some forms of sickness which the miracle must lack the  power to heal.
Tx:30.81  mistakes that have been given no effects. But what you see as having  power to make an idol of the Son of God you will not pardon. For he

Tx:30.94  when you are tempted by a dream of what he is. But do not give it  power to replace the changeless in him in your sight of him. There is
Tx:31.3  in every form you could conceive of them could ever doubt the  power of your learning skill. There is no greater power in the world.
Tx:31.3  ever doubt the power of your learning skill. There is no greater  power in the world. The world was made by it and even now depends on
Tx:31.3  the simple and the obvious. Say not you cannot learn them. For your  power to learn is strong enough to teach you that your will is not

W1:38.1  God, at one with the Mind of his Creator. Through your holiness, the  power of God is made manifest. Through your holiness the power of God
W1:38.1  the power of God is made manifest. Through your holiness the  power of God is made available. And there is nothing the power of God

W1:41.2 The idea for today has the  power to end all this foolishness forever. And foolishness it is,
W1:42.1  is the Will of God. It is His strength, not your own, that gives you  power. And it is His gift to you, rather than your own, which offers
W1:44.10  that they cannot hold you to the world unless you give them the  power to do so.

W1:63.1 How holy are you who have the  power to bring peace to every mind! How blessed are you who can learn
W1:69.7  ahead. Your little effort and small determination call on the  power of the universe to help you, and God Himself will raise you
W1:69.8  in mind that what you undertake with God must succeed. Then let the  power of God work in you and through you, that His Will and yours may

W1:73.1  in it. The ego's idle wishes are unshared and therefore have no  power at all. Its wishes are not idle in the sense that they can make
W1:73.10  wholly in accord with your will. It is not the purpose of an alien  power, thrust upon you unwillingly. It is the one purpose here on
W1:73.14 Then let your will assert itself, joined with the  power of God and united with your Self. Put the rest of the practice
W1:75.11  Give thanks for mercy and the Love of God. Rejoice in the  power of forgiveness to heal your sight completely. Be confident that
W1:R2.3  whatever form such thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no  power. Replace them with your determination to succeed. Do not forget
W1:R2.3  with your determination to succeed. Do not forget that your will has  power over all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you through and
W1:85.7  with my awareness of the Source of my salvation. This has no  power to remove salvation from me.
W1:87.2 [73] I will there be light. I will use the  power of my will today. It is not my will to grope about in darkness,
W1:88.5  God's. I am constantly tempted to make up other laws and give them  power over me. I suffer only because of my belief in them. They have
W1:93.5  nor reduced eternal sinlessness to sin and love to hate. What  power can this self you made possess when it would contradict the
W1:95.10  for weakness will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it  power to delay our learning. If we give it power to do this, we are

Tx:23.34  in dreams, where only shadows play the major roles, it seems most  powerful. No law of chaos could compel belief but for the emphasis on
Tx:24.63  protection, the thought by day and night, the deep concern, the  powerful conviction this is you belong to him. Nothing you gave to
Tx:29.66  judgment is a children's game in which the child becomes the father,  powerful, but with the little wisdom of a child. What hurts him is
Tx:30.32  shared. For they have understood the basic law that makes decision  powerful and gives it all effects that it will ever have. It needs
Tx:30.91  be so. Yet it is an assertion that some forms of idols have a  powerful appeal which makes them harder to resist than those you

W1:42.1 The idea for today combines two very  powerful thoughts, both of major importance. It also sets forth a

W1:137.6  is unworthy of your function here. For anti-Christ becomes more  powerful than Christ to those who dream the world is real. The body

Tx:8.86 You have surely begun to realize that this is a very  practical course which means exactly what it says. So does the Bible,
Tx:10.80  advocates. This is not a course in the play of ideas, but in their  practical application. Nothing could be more specific than to be told
Tx:17.43  this world. Like everything about salvation, the holy instant is a  practical device, witnessed to by its results. The holy instant never

Tx:17.57 The  practical application of the Holy Spirit's purpose is extremely

Tx:15.21  weakness that will depart from you in this practice, for it is the  practice of the power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and

Tx:30.1  can be reached depends on this one thing alone—your willingness to  practice every step. Each one will help a little every time it is
Tx:30.1  more ideas than rules of thought to you as yet. So now we need to  practice them awhile, until they are the rules by which you live. We
Tx:30.2  You do not always know when you are making them. But with a little  practice with the ones you recognize, a set begins to form which sees
Tx:30.28  day if you prevent unhappiness from entering at all. But this takes  practice in the rules which will protect you from the ravages of
Tx:31.3  carefully you have learned it, and the pains to which you went to  practice and repeat the lessons endlessly in every form you could
W1:I.4  how to see. The only rule that should be followed throughout is to  practice the exercises with great specificity. Each one applies to
W1:1.1 Now look slowly around you, and  practice applying this idea very specifically to whatever you see:
W1:1.5  The statement is merely applied to anything you see. As you  practice applying the idea for the day, use it totally
W1:4.1  these exercises do not begin with the idea for the day. In these  practice periods, begin with noting the thoughts that are crossing
W1:4.5  idea for a particular thought which you recognize as harmful. This  practice is useful, but is not a substitute for the more random
W1:5.4 But again, this should not be substituted for  practice periods in which you first search your mind for “sources” of
W1:6.3  used throughout the day for that purpose. However, the three or four  practice periods which are required should be preceded by a minute or
W1:8.4  figure or theme it contains, and pass on to the next. Introduce the  practice period by saying:
W1:9.1  for undoing your false ideas. These exercises are concerned with  practice, not with understanding. You do not need to practice what
W1:9.1  concerned with practice, not with understanding. You do not need to  practice what you really understand. It would indeed be circular to
W1:9.3 These exercises, for which three or four  practice periods are sufficient, involve looking about you and
W1:10.1  to all the thoughts of which you are aware or become aware in the  practice periods. The reason the idea is applicable to all of them is
W1:10.8  for any thought that distresses you at any time. In addition, five  practice periods are recommended, each involving no more than a
W1:11.1  that your thoughts determine the world you see. Be glad indeed to  practice the idea in this initial form, for in this idea is your
W1:11.2 The  practice periods for today's idea are to be undertaken somewhat
W1:11.4 Three  practice periods today will probably be sufficient. However, if there
W1:12.6  exercises, there is no difference between them. At the end of the  practice period, add:
W1:12.9  times are enough for practicing the idea for today. Nor should the  practice periods exceed a minute. You may find even this too long.
W1:14.2  should be short, a minute at most. Do not have more than three  practice periods with today's idea unless you find them comfortable.
W1:14.7  it has no meaning. In recognition of this fact, conclude the  practice periods by repeating today's idea:
W1:14.9  applied to anything that disturbs you during the day, aside from the  practice periods. Be very specific in applying it. Say:
W1:15.7  to apply the idea to very many things during the minute or so of  practice that is recommended, try to make the selection as random as
W1:15.7  selection as random as possible. Less than a minute will do for the  practice periods, if you begin to feel uneasy. Do not have more than
W1:16.3  them all as equally destructive but equally unreal. We will  practice this idea in many forms before you really understand it.
W1:16.5 In the  practice periods, first repeat the idea, and then as each one crosses
W1:16.9 Four or five  practice periods are recommended if you find them relatively
W1:17.9 Three or four specific  practice periods are recommended and no less than three are required
W1:17.9  if you experience resistance. However, if you do, the length of the  practice period may be reduced to less than the minute or so which is
W1:18.2  will emphasize this aspect of your perception. The three or four  practice periods which are recommended should be done as follows:
W1:18.5 Conclude the  practice period by repeating the more general statement:
W1:19.5  as much indiscriminateness as possible in selecting subjects for the  practice period should be quite familiar to you by now and will no
W1:19.5  Do not forget, however, that random selection of subjects for all  practice periods remains essential throughout. Lack of order in this
W1:19.6  from the “as needed” application of today's idea, at least three  practice periods are required, shortening the length of time involved
W1:20.1 We have been quite casual about our  practice periods thus far. There has been virtually no attempt to
W1:21.1  to applying the idea to particular situations as they arise. Five  practice periods are urged, allowing a full minute for each.
W1:21.2 In the  practice periods, begin by repeating the idea to yourself. Then close
W1:21.3  not to let the “little” thoughts of anger escape you in the  practice periods. Remember that you do not really recognize what
W1:22.5 At the end of each  practice period, ask yourself:
W1:23.6 Besides using it throughout the day as the need arises, five  practice periods are required in applying today's idea. As you look
W1:23.9 In the  practice periods, be sure to include both your thoughts of attacking
W1:23.9  you are asked at this time only to treat them as the same in today's  practice periods. We are still at the stage of identifying the cause
W1:24.3  few subjects, honestly and carefully considered in each of the five  practice periods which should be undertaken today, will be more
W1:24.4 The  practice periods begin with repeating today's idea, followed by
W1:25.6 Six  practice periods, each of two minutes duration, are required. Each

W1:26.5 Six  practice periods are required in applying today's idea. A full two
W1:26.6 The  practice period should begin with repeating the idea for today, then
W1:26.6  suitable subject. You will not be able to use very many for any one  practice period, because a longer time than usual should be spent
W1:26.15 Conclude each  practice period by repeating today's idea once more.
W1:28.1  giving specific application to the idea for yesterday. In these  practice periods, you will be making a series of definite
W1:28.6  be making this same request of each subject which you use in the  practice periods. And you are making a commitment to each of them to
W1:28.7 We will have six two minute  practice periods today in which the idea for the day is stated first
W1:29.4 Our six two-minute  practice periods for today should follow a now familiar pattern:
W1:29.7 In addition to the assigned  practice periods, repeat the idea for today at least once an hour,
W1:30.5  you to become more accustomed to this idea as well, devote several  practice periods to applying today's idea with your eyes closed,
W1:31.1  world you see within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of  practice which will be used more and more, with changes as indicated.
W1:31.2 Two longer periods of  practice with the idea for today are needed, one in the morning and
W1:32.2  are actually the same. However, since you see them as different, the  practice periods for today will again include two phases, one
W1:32.3 Again we will begin the  practice periods for the morning and evening by repeating the idea
W1:32.4 For the two longer  practice periods, three to five minutes are recommended, with not
W1:33.2 In these  practice periods, the idea should be repeated as often as you find
W1:34.2 Three longer  practice periods are required for today's exercises. One in the
W1:34.3  five minutes of mind searching are required for each of the longer  practice periods. Search your mind for fear thoughts, anxiety
W1:35.4 For each of the three five-minute  practice periods today, begin by repeating today's idea to yourself
W1:36.2 Four three- to five-minute  practice periods are required for today. Try to distribute them
W1:36.2  frequently to protect your protection throughout the day. The longer  practice periods should take this form:
W1:36.5 Several times during these  practice periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea to yourself.
W1:37.4  longer exercise periods, each to involve three to five minutes of  practice, begin with the repetition of the idea for today followed by
W1:37.8 You may continue the  practice period with your eyes closed; you may open your eyes again
W1:37.8  combination of these two phases of application which you prefer. The  practice period should conclude with a repetition of the idea with
W1:38.4 In the four longer  practice periods, each preferably to last a full five minutes, repeat
W1:39.2  the text is, and you would not need a workbook at all. No one needs  practice to gain what is already his.
W1:39.5 A full five minutes are urged for the four longer  practice periods for today. Longer and more frequent practice
W1:39.5  the four longer practice periods for today. Longer and more frequent  practice sessions are encouraged. If you want to exceed the minimum
W1:39.6 Begin the  practice periods as usual by repeating today's idea to yourself. Then
W1:39.11 Meanwhile, you should feel free to introduce variety into your  practice periods in whatever form appeals to you. Do not, however,
W1:39.12 End each  practice period by repeating the idea in its original form once more,
W1:40.1  happy things to which you are entitled, being what you are. No long  practice periods are required today, but very frequent short ones are

W1:40.3  associate with being a Son of God, applying them to yourself. One  practice period might, for example, consist of the following:
W1:41.5 There will be only one long  practice period today. In the morning, as soon as you get up if
W1:41.5  three to five minutes with your eyes closed. At the beginning of the  practice period, repeat today's idea very slowly. Then make no effort
W1:41.7  We will go into more detail in connection with this kind of  practice as we go along. But it will never fail completely, and
W1:42.4 Begin the  practice period by repeating the idea for today slowly with eyes
W1:42.8  thoughts come. If you find this difficult, it is better to spend the  practice period alternating between slow repetitions of the idea with
W1:42.9 There is no limit on the number of short  practice periods which would be most beneficial. The idea for the day
W1:43.4 Three five-minute  practice periods are required today, one as early as possible and
W1:43.5 At the beginning of these  practice periods, repeat the idea to yourself with eyes open. Then
W1:43.12 In applying today's idea in the shorter  practice periods, the form may vary according to the circumstances
W1:44.3  attempt to reach that light. For this purpose, we will use a form of  practice which has been suggested before and which we will utilize
W1:44.4 Have at least three  practice periods today, each lasting three to five minutes. A longer
W1:44.5  encounter strong resistance. The reason is very simple. While you  practice in this form, you leave behind everything that you now
W1:44.7 Begin the  practice period by repeating today's idea with your eyes open and
W1:45.4 Our three five-minute  practice periods for today will take the same general form that we
W1:45.11 For this kind of  practice, only one thing is necessary—approach it as you would an
W1:46.3 Today's exercises require at least three full five-minute  practice periods and as many shorter applications as possible. Begin
W1:46.3  and as many shorter applications as possible. Begin the longer  practice periods by repeating today's idea to yourself, as usual.
W1:46.6 The purpose of the first phase of today's  practice is to put you in the best position to forgive yourself.
W1:46.8 Then devote the remainder of the  practice period to adding related ideas such as:
W1:46.12 The  practice period should end, however, with a repetition of today's
W1:47.4  your own weakness to the Source of real strength. Four five-minute  practice periods are necessary today, and longer and more frequent
W1:47.8 In the latter phase of the  practice period, try to reach down into your mind to a place of real
W1:48.2 Today's  practice periods will be very short, very simple, and very frequent.
W1:49.3 We will need at least four five-minute  practice periods today and more if possible. We will try actually to
W1:R1.1  each of the ideas, which you should consider in your review. In the  practice periods, the exercises should be done as follows:
W1:R1.2  be practiced at least once. Devote two minutes or more to each  practice period, thinking about the idea and the related comments. Do
W1:R1.3  the comments that follow each idea literally or thoroughly in the  practice periods. Rather, try merely to emphasize the central point
W1:61.5 As many  practice periods as possible should be undertaken today, although
W1:61.8 Be sure both to begin and end the day with a  practice period. Thus you will awaken with an acknowledgment of the
W1:61.8  as you reaffirm your function and your only purpose here. These two  practice periods may be longer than the rest if you find them helpful
W1:64.7 Today, then, let us  practice with these thoughts:
W1:64.11 Two forms of shorter  practice periods are required. At times, do the exercises with your
W1:65.2  of days to follow, set aside ten to 15 minutes for a more sustained  practice period in which you try to understand and accept what
W1:65.3 Try, if possible, to undertake the daily extended  practice periods at approximately the same time each day. Try, also,
W1:65.5 For this longer  practice period, begin by reviewing the idea for today. Then close

W1:66.5 Begin the ten- to fifteen-minute  practice period by reviewing these thoughts:
W1:66.11 Think about this during the longer  practice period today. Think also about the many forms which the

W1:68.9 Spend the remainder of the  practice period trying to think of yourself as completely at peace
W1:68.9  briefly, that nothing can harm you in any way. At the end of the  practice period tell yourself:
W1:68.11 The short  practice periods should include a quick application of today's idea

W1:70.14 For the short and frequent  practice periods today, remind yourself that your salvation comes
W1:71.8 Let us  practice recognizing this certainty today. And let us rejoice that

W1:71.10 Remembering this, let us devote the remainder of the extended  practice periods to asking God to reveal His plan to us. Ask Him very
W1:71.12 Give Him full charge of the rest of the  practice period, and let Him tell you what needs to be done by you in
W1:71.13 In the shorter  practice periods tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation,
W1:72.11 Our goal in the longer  practice periods today is to become aware that God's plan for
W1:72.18 One or perhaps two shorter  practice periods an hour will be enough for today since they will be

W1:75.4 Our longer  practice periods will be devoted to looking at the world which our
W1:75.5  it we see Heaven's reflection lie across the world. Begin the longer  practice periods by telling yourself the glad tidings of your release:
W1:75.11 The shorter  practice periods, too, will be joyful reminders of your release.
W1:76.8 We will begin the longer  practice period today with a short review of the different kinds of
W1:76.12  God's. Then we will tell ourselves as a dedication with which the  practice period concludes:
W1:77.4 Begin the longer  practice periods by telling yourself quite confidently that you are

W1:R2.2 The longer  practice periods will follow this general form: take about 15 minutes

W1:106.8 Today we  practice giving, not the way you understand it now, but as it is.
W1:107.9 Today we  practice on the happy note of certainty that has been born of truth.
W1:108.7 Today we  practice with the special case of giving and receiving. We will use
W1:108.8 So we begin the  practice periods with the instruction for today and say:
W1:110.5  the great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the world.  Practice today's idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to
W1:110.6 For your five minute  practice periods, begin with this quotation from the text:
W1:R3.1  have reviewed them all. We will observe a special format for these  practice periods, which you are urged to follow just as closely as
W1:R3.2 Learning will not be hampered when you miss a  practice period because it is impossible at the appointed time. Nor
W1:R3.3 But learning will be hampered when you skip a  practice period because you are unwilling to devote the time to it
W1:R3.4 Those  practice periods which you have lost because you did not want to do
W1:R3.4  hold more dear. When you withdraw the value given them, allow your  practice periods to be replacements for your litanies to them. They

W1:R3.11  the day as well. If you are shaken, think of it again. These  practice periods are planned to help you form the habit of applying
W1:121.8  of the Teacher Who was given you to show the way to you. Today we  practice learning to forgive. If you are willing, you can learn today
W1:121.10 Begin the longer  practice periods by thinking of someone you do not like, who seems to

W1:126.8  only catch a tiny glimpse of the release which lies in the idea we  practice for today, this is a day of glory for the world.
W1:127.6 Today we  practice making free our minds of all the laws you think you must

W1:129.7  Practice your willingness to make this change ten minutes in the
W1:131.12 This we acknowledge as we start upon our  practice periods. Begin with this:
W1:132.16 Begin the 15 minute periods in which we  practice twice today with this:
W1:133.15 Our two extended  practice periods of 15 minutes will begin with this:
W1:134.14 Today we  practice true forgiveness that the time of joining be no more
W1:136.15  with folly. It is found at any time—today, if you will choose to  practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim today. And we

W1:R4.6  the sun, the silver of the moon on it by night. So do we start each  practice period in this review with readying our minds to understand
W1:R4.11  and spend a quiet moment with it. Then repeat the two ideas you  practice for the day unhurriedly, with time enough to see the gifts
W1:R4.12  pain to peace, from sin to holiness. God offers thanks to you who  practice thus the keeping of His Word. And as you give your mind to
W1:151.13 We  practice wordlessly today, except at the beginning of the time you
W1:152.9 Today we  practice true humility, abandoning the false pretense by which the
W1:153.15 Today we  practice in a form we will maintain for quite a while. We will begin
W1:153.18 In time, with  practice, you will never cease to think of Him and hear His loving
W1:154.11 We  practice giving Him what He would have that we may recognize His
W1:155.14  limitless His Love. In your name and His own, which are the same, we  practice gladly with this thought today:
W1:158.11  its unseen holiness; its likeness shines with its immortal love. We  practice seeing with the eyes of Christ today. And by the holy gifts
W1:161.1 Today we  practice differently and take a stand against our anger, that our
W1:161.1  room to love. Here is salvation in the simple words in which we  practice today's idea. Here is the answer to temptation which can
W1:161.11 Today we  practice in a form we have attempted earlier. Your readiness is
W1:162.4 Today we  practice simply. For the words we use are mighty, and they need no
W1:164.9  surely want—you can exchange all suffering for joy this very day.  Practice in earnest, and the gift is yours. Would God deceive you?
W1:165.7  Practice today in hope. For hope indeed is justified. Your doubts are
W1:165.7  God and not upon ourselves to give us certainty. And in His Name we  practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond our
W1:R5.7  if we keep in mind that This remains our goal, and as we  practice, it is This to which we are approaching. Let us raise our
W1:R5.10 Release me as you  practice once again the thoughts I brought to you from Him Who sees
W1:R5.12  it. You are His Son, completing His extension in your own. We  practice but an ancient truth we knew before illusion seemed to claim
W1:R5.14  each day of our review. With this we start and end each period of  practice time. And with this thought we sleep, to waken once again
W1:R5.15  but aids and to be used, except at the beginning and the end of  practice periods, but to recall the mind as needed to its purpose. We
W1:R5.15  to its purpose. We place faith in the experience that comes from  practice, not the means we use. We wait for the experience and
W1:I2.1  for total dedication all the time, as yet. But you are asked to  practice now in order to attain the sense of peace such unified

W1:185.8 Today devote your  practice periods to careful searching of your mind to find the dreams
W1:188.8 We  practice coming nearer to the light in us today. We take our
W1:189.1  hidden from your sight. This light is a reflection of the thought we  practice now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see the world
W1:193.15  have been gone too long, and we would linger here no more. And as we  practice, let us think about all things we saved to settle by
W1:196.2  all things held in its sure protection, can be found in the idea we  practice for today. It may in fact appear to be a sign that
W1:196.9 Salvation's song can certainly be heard in the idea we  practice for today. If it can but be you you crucify, you did not

W1:199.5  idea, and practice it today and every day. Make it a part of every  practice period you take. There is no thought that will not gain
W1:199.8  you live forever. Would you not return your mind to this? Then  practice well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for today. Your

W1:R6.1 For this review, we take but one idea each day, and  practice it as often as is possible. Besides the time we give morning
W1:R6.3 These  practice sessions, like our last review, are centered round a central
W1:R6.5  world we see. Beyond this and a repetition of the special thought we  practice for the day, no form of exercise is urged except a deep

W1:R6.11  to teach us how to go, and trusting Him completely for the way each  practice period can best become a loving gift of freedom to the world.
W2:I.10 Now is the need for  practice almost done. For in this final section we will come to

W1:125.9 Only be quiet. You will need no rule but this to let your  practicing today lift you above the thinking of the world and free

W1:R4.10  laid in it for you to have of Him. And we will use no format for our  practicing but this:
W1:R4.12 Each day of  practicing, as we review, we close as we began, repeating first the
W1:152.12 We think of truth alone as we arise and spend five minutes  practicing its ways, encouraging our frightened minds with this:
W1:153.20  of purpose. We will pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your  practicing will now begin to take the earnestness of love to help you
W1:157.4 He will direct your  practicing today, for what you ask for now is what He wills. And
W1:161.3 Thus were specifics made. And now it is specifics we must use in  practicing. We give them to the Holy Spirit that He may employ them
W1:164.3 How holy is your  practicing today, as Christ gives you His sight and hears for you and
W1:164.4  has never touched. All this today you will remember. Faithfulness in  practicing today will bring rewards so great and so completely
W1:164.7  but what is given us from judgment made beyond the world. Our  practicing today becomes our gift of thankfulness for our release
W1:164.8  through His forgiving vision, now our own. Open the curtain in your  practicing by merely letting go all things you think you want. Your
W1:R5.2  to You. We would but listen to Your Word and make it ours. Lead our  practicing as does a father lead a little child along a way he does

W1:184.9  by them as well. They do not stand for anything at all, and in your  practicing, it is this thought that will release you from them. They
W1:184.12  chose the teaching of the world to take the place of Heaven. In our  practicing, our purpose is to let our minds accept what He has given
W1:184.13  have not interfered with truth at all. One Name we bring into our  practicing. One Name we use to unify our sight.
W1:184.14  but One Name, Which He has given them. It is this Name we use in  practicing. And through Its use, all foolish separations disappear
W1:185.7 Let us today devote our  practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words we say. We

W1:R6.2 With this in mind, we start our  practicing in which we carefully review the thoughts the Holy Spirit
W1:R6.6 We will attempt to get beyond all words and special forms of  practicing for this review. For we attempt this time to reach a

W1:47.1  What would give you the ability to be aware of all the facets of any  problem and to resolve it in such a way that only good can come of
W1:50.1 Here is the answer to every  problem that confronts you today and tomorrow and throughout time. In
W1:68.5  them. If you succeed even by ever so little, there will never be a  problem in motivation ever again.
W1:79.1 A  problem cannot be solved if you do not know what it is. Even if it is
W1:79.1  it is. Even if it is really solved already, you will still have the  problem because you cannot recognize that it has been solved. This is

W1:79.1  already been solved. But the solution is not recognized because the  problem is not recognized.

W1:79.2  Who can see that a problem has been solved if he thinks the  problem is something else? Even if he is given the answer, he cannot
W1:79.3  now. You have the answer, but you are still uncertain about what the  problem is. A long series of different problems seems to confront
W1:79.4  temptation to regard problems as many is the temptation to keep the  problem of separation unsolved. The world seems to present you with a
W1:79.4  answer. This perception places you in a position in which your  problem solving must be inadequate and failure must be inevitable.
W1:79.6 All this complexity is but a desperate attempt not to recognize the  problem and therefore not to let it be resolved. If you could
W1:79.6  not to let it be resolved. If you could recognize that your only  problem is separation, no matter what form it takes, you could accept
W1:79.6  them all. And you would use the means because you recognize the  problem.
W1:79.7 In our longer practice periods today, we will ask what the  problem is and what is the answer to it. We will not assume that we
W1:79.7  that we think we have. We will try to realize that we have only one  problem, which we have failed to recognize. We will ask what it is
W1:79.8  successful to the extent to which we do not insist on defining the  problem. Perhaps we will not succeed in letting all our preconceived
W1:79.8  to recognize that we have been given the answer by recognizing the  problem so that the problem and the answer can be brought together
W1:79.8  we have been given the answer by recognizing the problem so that the  problem and the answer can be brought together and we can be at peace.
W1:79.9  efforts will be directed toward recognizing that there is only one  problem and one answer. In this recognition are all problems
W1:79.11 Let me recognize this  problem so it can be solved.
W1:79.12 Then try to suspend all judgment about what the  problem is. If possible, close your eyes for a moment and ask what it
W1:80.1  you will recognize that you have no problems. Your one central  problem has been answered, and you have no other. Therefore you must
W1:80.1  you must be at peace. Salvation does depend on recognizing this one  problem and understanding that it has been solved. One problem—one
W1:80.1  this one problem and understanding that it has been solved. One  problem—one solution. Salvation is accomplished. Freedom from
W1:80.2 Your only  problem has been solved! Repeat this over and over to yourself today
W1:80.2  today with gratitude and conviction. You have recognized your only  problem, opening the way for the Holy Spirit to give you God's
W1:80.2  of truth. You have accepted salvation for yourself by bringing the  problem to the answer. And you can recognize the answer because the
W1:80.2  problem to the answer. And you can recognize the answer because the  problem has been identified.
W1:80.3 You are entitled to peace today. A  problem that has been resolved cannot trouble you. Only be certain

W1:80.5  conflict, free, and at peace. Above all, remember that you have one  problem and that the problem has one solution. It is in this that the

W1:80.6  sure to remember to apply the idea for today to any specific  problem that may arise. Say quickly:
W1:80.7 Let me recognize this  problem has been solved.
W1:80.8  The means is simple honesty. Do not deceive yourself about what the  problem is, and you must recognize it has been solved.
W1:90.2 [79] Let me recognize the  problem so it can be solved. Let me realize today that the problem is
W1:90.2  the problem so it can be solved. Let me realize today that the  problem is always some form of grievance which I would cherish. Let
W1:90.2  simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one  problem and one solution. The problem is a grievance; the solution is
W1:90.2  the lesson that there is one problem and one solution. The  problem is a grievance; the solution is a miracle. And I invite the
W1:90.4 This presents a  problem to me which I would have resolved. The miracle behind this
W1:90.4  behind this grievance will resolve it for me. The answer to this  problem is the miracle which it conceals.
W1:90.5  to have problems only because I am misusing time. I believe that the  problem comes first, and time must elapse before it can be worked
W1:90.5  and time must elapse before it can be worked out. I do not see the  problem and the answer as simultaneous in their occurrence. That is

Tx:17.50  “failure” of your relationship, for it will seem at times to have no  purpose. A sense of aimlessness will come to haunt you and to remind

Tx:17.68 Every situation in which you find yourself is but a means to meet the  purpose set for your relationship. See it as something else, and you
Tx:17.69  too weak or too compelling, but will be gently turned to its use and  purpose. The universe will serve it gladly, as it serves the
Tx:17.71  for faith. That Cause has entered any situation which shares Its  purpose. The light of truth shines from the center of the situation
Tx:17.71  center of the situation and touches everyone to whom the situation's  purpose calls. It calls to everyone. There is no situation which does
Tx:17.71  yourself outside it and keep the situation holy. For it shares the  purpose of your whole relationship and derives its meaning from it.
Tx:17.72  your own relationship. Your faith will call the others to share your  purpose, as this same purpose called forth the faith in you. And you
Tx:17.72  Your faith will call the others to share your purpose, as this same  purpose called forth the faith in you. And you will see the means you
Tx:17.72  and faith makes room for truth.] When the Holy Spirit changed the  purpose of your relationship by exchanging yours for His, the goal He
Tx:17.74  every situation is meant to be. The meaning which the Holy Spirit's  purpose has given it is also given to every situation. It calls forth
Tx:17.76  is laid aside unused. And then the power of the Holy Spirit's  purpose is free to use instead. This power instantly transforms all
Tx:17.76  situations into one sure and continuous means for establishing His  purpose and demonstrating its reality. What has been demonstrated has
Tx:17.78  lack of faith in him must mean to you. His salvation is your only  purpose. See only this in every situation, and it will be a means for
Tx:17.79  in it, for no one accepts what he does not believe is real. Your  purpose has not changed and will not change, for you accepted what

Tx:18.20  from you. [But He does use it differently, as a help to make His  purpose real to you.] Your special relationship will remain, not as a
Tx:18.21  it will be extended. Think not that He has forgotten anyone in the  purpose He has given you. And think not that He has forgotten you to

Tx:19.4  being healed. Your faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy Spirit's  purpose and brought illusions centered on the body to stand between
Tx:19.11  appears just as he is perceived in the holy instant, united in your  purpose to be released from guilt. You saw the Christ in him, and he
Tx:19.13 Your holy relationship, with its new  purpose, offers you faith to give unto each other. Your faithlessness
Tx:19.16  is its jailor or its liberator, according to which it chooses as its  purpose for itself.
Tx:19.19  make him really guilty. That is what sin would do, for such is its  purpose. Yet for all the wild insanity inherent in the whole idea of
Tx:19.21  others serve. Here is its armor, its protection, and the fundamental  purpose of the special relationship in its interpretation.
Tx:19.33  to Him and to each other. Your holy relationship has as its  purpose now the goal of proving this is impossible. Heaven has smiled
Tx:19.37  past completely unhindered. The extension of the Holy Spirit's  purpose from your relationship to others to bring them gently in [has
Tx:19.42 The Holy Spirit's  purpose rests in peace within you. Yet you are still unwilling to let
Tx:19.42  back the universe and its Creator. This little wall would hide the  purpose of Heaven and keep it from Heaven.
Tx:19.43  without hindrance. Salvation cannot be withheld from you. It is your  purpose. You cannot will apart from this. You have no purpose apart
Tx:19.43  It is your purpose. You cannot will apart from this. You have no  purpose apart from each other nor apart from the one you asked the
Tx:19.44  holy relationship. Do not attempt to stand between Him and His holy  purpose, for it is yours. But let Him quietly extend the miracle of
Tx:19.46  aimlessly, can land and settle briefly upon anything, for it has no  purpose now. Before the Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it
Tx:19.46  Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it seemed to have a mighty  purpose; the fixed and unchangeable dedication to sin and its
Tx:19.69  neither pain nor joy. It is a means and not an end. It has no  purpose of itself, but only what is given to it. The body will seem
Tx:19.69  reaching the goal that you assign to it. [Only the mind can set a  purpose, and only mind can see the means for its accomplishment and
Tx:19.71  the invitation to pain. For it invites fear to enter and become your  purpose. The attraction of guilt must enter with it, and whatever
Tx:19.79  not to death nor to its master. When you accepted the Holy Spirit's  purpose in place of the ego's, you renounced death, exchanging it for
Tx:19.82  body incorruptible and perfect as long as it is useful for your holy  purpose. The body no more dies than it can feel. It does nothing. Of
Tx:19.83  the hardest can be accomplished first? The body can but serve your  purpose. As you look upon it, so will it seem to be. Death, were it
Tx:19.86  to fulfill the mighty task for which it was given you. Your newborn  purpose is nursed by angels, cherished by the Holy Spirit, and
Tx:19.98  Let us join together in a holy instant, here in this place where the  purpose given in a holy instant has led you. And let us join in faith
Tx:19.99  Yet merely to reach the place is not enough. A journey without a  purpose is still meaningless, and even when it is over, it seems to
Tx:19.99  no sense. How can you know that it is over unless you realize its  purpose is accomplished? Here, with the journey's end before you, you
Tx:19.99  accomplished? Here, with the journey's end before you, you see its  purpose. And it is here you choose whether to look upon it or wander
Tx:19.108  established for salvation will be left undone. This is the journey's  purpose, without which is the journey meaningless. Here is the peace
Tx:19.110  safely within the sure protection of his Father. Here is the only  purpose that gives this world and the long journey through this world
Tx:19.110  You stand together, still without conviction they have a  purpose. Yet it is given you to see this purpose in your holy Friend
Tx:19.110  conviction they have a purpose. Yet it is given you to see this  purpose in your holy Friend and recognize it is your own.
Tx:20.2  no dark sign of crucifixion intervene between the journey and its  purpose; between the acceptance of the truth and its expression. This
Tx:20.9  for and received another sight. Those who accept the Holy Spirit's  purpose as their own share also His vision. And what enables Him to
Tx:20.9  as their own share also His vision. And what enables Him to see His  purpose shine forth from every altar now is yours as well as His. He
Tx:20.22  into the home of truth, and who will wander off. He came without a  purpose, but he will not remain before the shining light the Holy
Tx:20.24  holiness that shone in both of you to bless the other? That is the  purpose of your holy relationship. Ask not the means of its
Tx:20.33  special function in the Holy Spirit's plan, now that it shares His  purpose. And as this purpose is fulfilled, a new world rises in which
Tx:20.33  the Holy Spirit's plan, now that it shares His purpose. And as this  purpose is fulfilled, a new world rises in which sin can enter not,
Tx:20.34 This is the  purpose given you. Think not that your forgiveness of each other
Tx:20.36  take thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only  purpose that you would fulfill. As that was given you, so will its
Tx:20.37  of joining is a mighty herald of eternity. No one who has a single  purpose, unified and sure, can be afraid. No one who shares his
Tx:20.37  purpose, unified and sure, can be afraid. No one who shares his  purpose with him can not be one with him.
Tx:20.41  The sight that sees the body has no use which serves the  purpose of a holy relationship. And while you look upon each other
Tx:20.51  is not threatened. You are idolaters no longer. The Holy Spirit's  purpose lies safe in your relationship and not your bodies. You have
Tx:20.58  the Holy Spirit's goal will come from the same Source as does His  purpose. Being so simple and direct, this course has nothing in it
Tx:20.59  it, you are refusing to leave the means to Him Who changed the  purpose. You recognize you want the goal. Are you not also willing to
Tx:20.59  the means? If you are not, let us admit that you are inconsistent. A  purpose is attained by means, and if you want a purpose, you must be
Tx:20.59  are inconsistent. A purpose is attained by means, and if you want a  purpose, you must be willing to want the means as well. How can one
Tx:20.60  are second to the goal. And when you hesitate, it is because the  purpose frightens you, and not the means. Remember this, for
Tx:20.60  remember that if you think they are impossible, your wanting of the  purpose has been shaken. For if a goal is possible to reach, the
Tx:20.62  seem real. The unholy instant is the time of bodies. But the  purpose here is sin. It cannot be attained but in illusion, and so
Tx:20.62  so the illusion of a brother as a body is quite in keeping with the  purpose of unholiness. Because of this consistency, the means remain
Tx:20.64  imagining and vision. The difference lies not in them, but in their  purpose. Both are but means, each one appropriate to the end for
Tx:20.64  to the end for which it is employed. Neither can serve the  purpose of the other, for each one is a choice of purpose, employed
Tx:20.64  can serve the purpose of the other, for each one is a choice of  purpose, employed on its behalf. Either is meaningless without the
Tx:20.65  and have denied the means the Holy Spirit offers you to serve His  purpose. How can a holy relationship achieve its purpose through the
Tx:20.65  you to serve His purpose. How can a holy relationship achieve its  purpose through the means of sin? Judgment you taught yourself;
Tx:20.65  seem real there. You closed your eyes to shut him out. Such was your  purpose, and while this purpose seems to have any meaning, the means
Tx:20.65  your eyes to shut him out. Such was your purpose, and while this  purpose seems to have any meaning, the means for its attainment will
Tx:20.68  to you. As it was given you, so will be its effects. And as its holy  purpose was not made by you, the means by which its happy end is
Tx:20.69  will come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity of  purpose, shared with the Holy Spirit and at one with Him on what
Tx:20.70  that what God willed and gave you shall be yours. This is your  purpose now, and the vision that makes it yours is ready to be given.
Tx:20.72  for everything He looks upon is always sure. For it will meet His  purpose, seen in unadjusted form and suited perfectly to meet it.
Tx:20.72  of your salvation, will be deprived of meaning, and its most holy  purpose bereft of means for its accomplishment.
Tx:20.74  are released from them. One thing is sure—hallucinations serve a  purpose, and when that purpose is no longer held, they disappear.
Tx:20.74  One thing is sure—hallucinations serve a purpose, and when that  purpose is no longer held, they disappear. Therefore, the question
Tx:20.74  question never is whether you want them, but always, do you want the  purpose which they serve? This world seems to hold out many purposes,
Tx:20.76  for all the terrifying sights and screaming sounds the ego's  purpose brought to your horrified awareness. They step away from sin,
Tx:21.24  goal of sin induces the perception of a fearful world to justify its  purpose. What you desire you will see. And if its reality is false,
Tx:21.25  is denied, confusion of cause and effect becomes inevitable. The  purpose now becomes to keep obscure the cause of the effect and make
Tx:21.29  you attempt to ease the guilt that comes from the accepted  purpose of the relationship. And that is why the Holy Spirit must
Tx:21.29  of the relationship. And that is why the Holy Spirit must change its  purpose to make it useful to Him and harmless unto you.
Tx:21.30  imagine that you still experience its effects, but it is not your  purpose, and you no longer want it. No one allows a purpose to be
Tx:21.30  it is not your purpose, and you no longer want it. No one allows a  purpose to be replaced while he desires it, for nothing is so
Tx:21.34  to find it. But as He uses them, they lead away from sin because His  purpose lies in the opposite direction. He sees the means you use but
Tx:21.34  in the opposite direction. He sees the means you use but not the  purpose for which you made them. He would not take them from you, for
Tx:21.37  the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they think their  purpose is accomplished. Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that
Tx:21.39  the Holy Spirit is concerned with this? He gives not what it is His  purpose to lead you from. You think He would deprive you for your
Tx:21.44  your reason tells you now, the ego would not hear. The Holy Spirit's  purpose was accepted by the part of your mind the ego knows not of.
Tx:21.44  How, otherwise, could it have been willing to see the Holy Spirit's  purpose as its own?
Tx:21.45  you recognize that it was not the ego that joined the Holy Spirit's  purpose, and so there must be something else. Think not that this is
Tx:21.53  it must exist. And if it exists for you and has your freedom as the  purpose given it, you must be free to find it.
Tx:21.55  gone past this. Reason is a means which serves the Holy Spirit's  purpose in its own right. It is not reinterpreted and redirected from
Tx:21.57  your Father's to the undoing of insanity. Here was the Holy Spirit's  purpose accepted and accomplished both at once. Reason is alien to
Tx:21.58  room made way for vision. Vision extends beyond itself, as does the  purpose which it serves and all the means for its accomplishment.
Tx:21.63  brother, and if you think it does, you are insane. But madness has a  purpose and believes it also has the means to make its purpose real.
Tx:21.63  madness has a purpose and believes it also has the means to make its  purpose real. To see the body as a barrier between what reason tells
Tx:21.65  given you to understand that this is so. For reason, kind as is the  purpose for which it is the means, leads steadily away from madness
Tx:22.20  reason, if escape from guilt was given to the Holy Spirit as His  purpose, and by One to Whom nothing He wills can be impossible, the
Tx:22.21  be made complete. For if you have the means to let the Holy Spirit's  purpose be accomplished, they can be used. And through their use will
Tx:22.38  went before you reached the branch, you will go nowhere. The whole  purpose of coming this far was to decide which branch you will take
Tx:23.4  these meaningless distractions, lay Heaven aside? Your destiny and  purpose are far beyond them in the clean place where littleness does
Tx:23.4  beyond them in the clean place where littleness does not exist. Your  purpose is at variance with littleness of any kind. And so it is at
Tx:23.8  and will seem to have replaced love there. This is the conflict's  purpose. And to those who think that it is possible, the means seem
Tx:23.19  is essential it be understood what they are for, because it is their  purpose to make meaningless and to attack the truth. Here are the
Tx:23.30  and there is only one. And all your relationships have but the  purpose of seizing it and making it your own.
Tx:23.31  in place the substitute for Heaven which you prefer. This is their  purpose; they were made for this. There is no point in asking what
Tx:23.41  the source of pain. Attack in any form is equally destructive. Its  purpose does not change. Its sole intent is murder, and what form of
Tx:23.41  on his intent in nightmares where the smiles are gone and where the  purpose rises to meet his horrified awareness and pursue him still.
Tx:23.43  the idea of compromise but enter, and the awareness of salvation's  purpose is lost because it is not recognized. It is denied where
Tx:23.45  is saved? Would they be willing to accept the fact their savage  purpose is directed against themselves? No one unites with enemies
Tx:23.45  themselves? No one unites with enemies nor is at one with them in  purpose. And no one compromises with an enemy but hates him still for
Tx:23.50  is not your will. The overlooking of the battleground is now your  purpose.
Tx:23.53  see. For only bodies could attack and murder, and if this is your  purpose, then you must be one with them. Only a purpose unifies, and
Tx:23.53  and if this is your purpose, then you must be one with them. Only a  purpose unifies, and those who share a purpose have a mind as one.
Tx:23.53  must be one with them. Only a purpose unifies, and those who share a  purpose have a mind as one. The body has no purpose and must be
Tx:23.53  and those who share a purpose have a mind as one. The body has no  purpose and must be solitary. From below, it cannot be surmounted.
Tx:23.53  the Father and the Heaven He created for His Son because it has no  purpose.
Tx:23.54 Think what is given those who share their Father's  purpose and who know that it is theirs! They want for nothing. Sorrow
Tx:24.3  is extension. To withhold the smallest gift is not to know love's  purpose. Love offers everything forever. Hold back but one belief,
Tx:24.8  as yours? You are his enemy in specialness; his friend in a shared  purpose. Specialness can never share, for it depends on goals that
Tx:24.8  you. God gave you both Himself, and to remember this is now the only  purpose that you share. And so it is the only one you have.
Tx:24.10  malice or stab of hate or wish to separate arises here. For here the  purpose which you share becomes obscured from both of you. You would
Tx:24.10  oppose this course because it teaches you you are alike. You have no  purpose that is not the same and none your Father does not share with
Tx:24.23  is the seal of treachery upon the gift of love. Whatever serves its  purpose must be given to kill. No gift that bears its seal but offers
Tx:24.23  and serve it faithfully. And no relationship that holds its  purpose dear but clings to murder as safety's weapon and the great
Tx:24.35 What could the  purpose of the body be but specialness? And it is this that makes it
Tx:24.35  The goal of separation is its curse. Yet bodies have no goal.  Purpose is of the mind. And minds can change as they desire. What
Tx:24.35  and all their attributes, they cannot change. But what they hold as  purpose can be changed, and body states must shift accordingly. Of
Tx:24.36  to those who wish to heal and not attack, it is quite obvious. The  purpose of attack is in the mind, and its effects are felt but where
Tx:24.36  but where it is. Nor is mind limited; so must it be that harmful  purpose hurts the mind as one. Nothing could make less sense to
Tx:24.36  could make more sense to miracles. For miracles are merely change of  purpose from hurt to healing.
Tx:24.37 This shift in  purpose does “endanger” specialness, but only in the sense that all
Tx:24.44  too, as much as yours. And yet, because they serve a different  purpose, the strength their purpose holds is given them. And what
Tx:24.44  And yet, because they serve a different purpose, the strength their  purpose holds is given them. And what they see and hear and hold and
Tx:24.52  the healing of God's Son is all the world is for. That is the only  purpose the Holy Spirit sees in it and thus the only one it has.
Tx:24.52  Father nor yourself. For you will use the world for what is not its  purpose and will not escape its laws of violence and death. Yet it is
Tx:24.57  your deliverance may not be long. A senseless wandering, without a  purpose and without accomplishment of any kind, is all the other
Tx:24.61  clearly, judging against the Christ and setting forth for you the  purpose that you can attain and what you cannot do. Forget not that
Tx:24.61  to see. Out of His lack of conflict comes your peace. And from His  purpose comes the means for effortless accomplishment and rest.
Tx:24.65  hate, and you condemn it to decay and death. And if you see this  purpose in your brother's, such is your condemnation of your own.
Tx:24.66  cannot be attacked; what is but temporal has no effect. Only the  purpose that you see in it has meaning, and if that is true, its
Tx:24.66  and if that is true, its safety rests secure. If not, it has no  purpose and is means for nothing. Whatever is perceived as means for
Tx:24.66  as itself. Nor will that light go out when it is gone. Its holy  purpose gave it immortality, setting another light in Heaven, where
Tx:24.67  meaning of itself, yet you can give reality to it according to the  purpose which you serve. Here you are but means, along with it. God
Tx:24.68  still retains one unlearned lesson in his memory, one thought with  purpose still uncertain, or one wish with a divided aim.
Tx:24.69  is yours will come to you when you are ready. Here are the means and  purpose separate because they were so made and so perceived. And
Tx:24.69  be kept in mind that all perception still is upside down until its  purpose has been understood. Perception does not seem to be a means.
Tx:24.71  Thus does the “son” become the means to serve his “father's”  purpose. Not identical, not even like, but still a means to offer to
Tx:24.71  Son's creation gave Him joy and witness to His love and shared His  purpose, so does the body testify to the idea that made it and speak
Tx:24.72  nor where they go, nor even what they do. They have a different  purpose. It is this that joins them to their like and separates each
Tx:24.72  to their like and separates each from all aspects with a different  purpose. The Son of God retains His Father's Will. The son of man
Tx:24.72  you to make a different choice and use perception for a different  purpose. And what you see will serve that purpose well and prove its
Tx:24.72  perception for a different purpose. And what you see will serve that  purpose well and prove its own reality to you.
Tx:25.1  No more can you. Christ is within a frame of holiness whose only  purpose is that He may be made manifest to those who know Him not,
Tx:25.3  sick indeed! And it is here that Christ sets forth the remedy. His  purpose folds the body in His light and fills it with the holiness
Tx:25.6  to you as you would have you be. And always is it faithful to your  purpose from which it never separates nor gives the slightest witness
Tx:25.6  it never separates nor gives the slightest witness unto anything the  purpose in your mind upholdeth not. Perception is a part of what it
Tx:25.6  in your mind upholdeth not. Perception is a part of what it is your  purpose to behold, for means and end are never separate. And thus you
Tx:25.9 The Holy Spirit serves Christ's  purpose in your mind, so that the aim of specialness can be corrected
Tx:25.9  of specialness can be corrected where the error lies. Because His  purpose still is one with both the Father and the Son, He knows the
Tx:25.15  up so that it can be seen. A frame that hides the picture has no  purpose. It cannot be a frame if it is what you see. Without the
Tx:25.15  you see. Without the picture is the frame without its meaning. Its  purpose is to set the picture off and not itself.
Tx:25.17  to its Creator, one with Him and with His masterpiece. This is its  purpose, and you do not make the frame into the picture when you
Tx:25.17  see it in its place. The frame that God has given it but serves His  purpose, not yours apart from His. It is your separate purpose that
Tx:25.17  serves His purpose, not yours apart from His. It is your separate  purpose that obscures the picture and cherishes the frame instead of
Tx:25.20  of God Himself is freely offered to everyone who shares His  purpose. It is not His Will to be alone. And neither is it yours.
Tx:25.22  Himself is one and not divided in His Will. And you must have one  purpose, since He gave the same to both of you. His Will is brought
Tx:25.25  it, and they do not see it as the same. To each it has a different  purpose, and to each it is a perfect means to serve the goal for
Tx:25.26  has God protected still His Son, even in error. There is another  purpose in the world that error made because it has another Maker Who
Tx:25.26  it has another Maker Who can reconcile its goal with His Creator's  purpose. In His perception of the world, nothing is seen but
Tx:25.29  your peace and many chances to extend your own forgiveness. Such its  purpose is to those who want to see peace and forgiveness descend on
Tx:25.31  forgivable or not? Does he need help or condemnation? Is it your  purpose that he be saved or damned? Forgetting not that what he is to
Tx:25.31  a goal. Make then your choice. But recognize that in this choice the  purpose of the world you see is chosen and will be justified.
Tx:25.32  innocence they see. And thus they seek for it because it is their  purpose to behold it and rejoice. Everyone seeks for what will bring
Tx:25.33  The Son of God creates to bring him joy, sharing his Father's  purpose in his own creation that his joy might be increased and God's
Tx:25.37  as other than he is. The need for guilt is gone because it has no  purpose and is meaningless without the goal of sin. Attack and sin
Tx:25.83  from healing. Who is there who can be separate from salvation if its  purpose is the end of specialness? Where is salvation's justice if
Tx:26.5  to truth instead of to illusion merely ask that they might see a  purpose in the world that gives it sense and makes it meaningful.
Tx:26.10  many forms, and it will do so while the problem lasts. It serves no  purpose to attempt to solve it in a special form. It will recur and
Tx:26.22  goal this course has set. It will not go beyond this aim. Its only  purpose is to teach what is the same and what is different, leaving
Tx:26.24  your special function, where the separation is undone by change of  purpose in what once was specialness and now is union? All illusions
Tx:26.30  same. Yet teaching that is what this course is for. This is its only  purpose, for only that is all there is to learn. And you can learn it
Tx:26.31  gate is difficult at all. Nothing you undertake with certain  purpose and high resolve and happy confidence, holding each other's
Tx:26.31  and miserable, down a road which leads to nothing and which has no  purpose.
Tx:26.47  And as such, the laws of healing must be understood before the  purpose of the course can be accomplished. Let us review the
Tx:26.62 Illusions serve the  purpose they were made to serve. And from their purpose, they derive
Tx:26.62 Illusions serve the purpose they were made to serve. And from their  purpose, they derive whatever meaning that they seem to have. God
Tx:26.62  they seem to have. God gave to all illusions that were made another  purpose that would justify a miracle, whatever form they took. In
Tx:26.70  of it, believing that the risk of loss is great between the time its  purpose is made yours and its effects will come to you. In this form
Tx:26.72  for safety all are laid within the future, where you cannot plan. No  purpose has been given it as yet, and what will happen has as yet no
Tx:26.73  of the working out can seem to take forever. The change of  purpose the Holy Spirit brought to your relationship has in it all
Tx:26.74  until the time of liberation is at hand. Given a change of  purpose for the good, there is no reason for an interval in which
Tx:26.76  is changed and what it is cannot be recognized. The Holy Spirit's  purpose now is yours. Should not His happiness be yours as well?
Tx:26.80  thousand years to Them, or tens of thousands? When They come, time's  purpose is fulfilled. What never was passes to nothingness when They
Tx:26.84  to what is Theirs and will forever be. Now is the Holy Spirit's  purpose done. For They have come! For They have come at last!
Tx:26.89  to make the other innocent. And in this game do you perceive one  purpose for your whole relationship. And this you seek to add unto
Tx:26.89  for your whole relationship. And this you seek to add unto the  purpose given it. The Holy Spirit's purpose is to let the Presence of
Tx:26.89  this you seek to add unto the purpose given it. The Holy Spirit's  purpose is to let the Presence of your holy Guests be known to you.
Tx:26.89  to let the Presence of your holy Guests be known to you. And to this  purpose, nothing can be added, for the world is purposeless except
Tx:26.89  this. To add or take away from this one goal is but to take away all  purpose from the world and from yourself. And each unfairness that
Tx:26.90  deprived of light, abandoned to the dark, unfairly left without a  purpose in a futile world. The world is fair because the Holy Spirit
Tx:27.5  are cannot be seen nor pictured. Yet this one has not been used for  purpose of attack and therefore never suffered pain at all. It
Tx:27.7  but wish for death that is the motivation for this world. Its only  purpose is to prove guilt real. No worldly thought or act or feeling
Tx:27.10  it all signs of accusation and of blamefulness. Pictured without a  purpose, it is seen as neither sick nor well, nor bad nor good. No
Tx:27.10  experience of fear or love. For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its  purpose being open and the mind made free again to choose what it is
Tx:27.10  to choose what it is for. Now is it not condemned, but waiting for a  purpose to be given that it may fulfill the function that it will
Tx:27.11  of breathing in the fetid scent of death. Let it have healing as its  purpose. Then will it send forth the message it received and by its
Tx:27.12  way to let this be achieved is merely this—to let the body have no  purpose from the past, when you were sure you knew its purpose was to
Tx:27.12  body have no purpose from the past, when you were sure you knew its  purpose was to foster guilt. For this insists your crippled picture
Tx:27.12  represents. This leaves no space in which a different view, another  purpose, can be given it. You do not know its purpose. You but gave
Tx:27.12  view, another purpose, can be given it. You do not know its  purpose. You but gave illusions of a purpose to a thing you made to
Tx:27.12  given it. You do not know its purpose. You but gave illusions of a  purpose to a thing you made to hide your function from yourself. This
Tx:27.12  you made to hide your function from yourself. This thing without a  purpose cannot hide the function that the Holy Spirit gave. Let,
Tx:27.12  cannot hide the function that the Holy Spirit gave. Let, then, its  purpose and your function both be reconciled at last and seen as one.
Tx:27.24  And thus He represents the other half and seems to have a different  purpose from the one you cherish and you think is yours. Thus does
Tx:27.25  not overlook the fact that every thought extends because that is its  purpose, being what it really is. From an idea of self as two, there
Tx:27.27  mistakes in one unhealed and set the other free. That is divided  purpose which cannot be shared, and so it cannot be the function
Tx:27.28  mind that is united, functioning as one because It is not split in  purpose and conceives a single function as Its only one. Here is the
Tx:27.28  function lies the means whereby your mind is unified. His single  purpose unifies the halves of you which you perceive as separate. And
Tx:27.29  limit. And therefore it must be limited and weak because that is its  purpose. Power is unopposed, to be itself. No weakness can intrude on
Tx:27.36  In conflict there can be no answer and no resolution, for its  purpose is to make no resolution possible and to ensure no answer
Tx:27.39  of which this world is made?” Whatever form the question takes, its  purpose is the same. It asks but to establish sin is real and answers
Tx:27.45  messages. If you wish only to be healed, you heal. Your single  purpose makes this possible. But if you are afraid of healing, then

Tx:27.54  for they both are means to make the body real. What shares a common  purpose is the same. This is the law of purpose, which unites all
Tx:27.54  real. What shares a common purpose is the same. This is the law of  purpose, which unites all those who share in it within itself.
Tx:27.54  within itself. Pleasure and pain are equally unreal, because their  purpose cannot be achieved. Thus are they means for nothing, for they
Tx:27.54  without a meaning. And they share the lack of meaning which their  purpose has.
Tx:27.60  which call them different are dissolved and shown as powerless. The  purpose of a miracle is to accomplish this. And God Himself has
Tx:27.65  wounds a knife he does not hold has made upon himself. This is the  purpose of the world he sees. And looked at thus, the world provides
Tx:27.65  sees. And looked at thus, the world provides the means by which this  purpose seems to be fulfilled.
Tx:27.66 The means attest the  purpose but are not themselves a cause. Nor will the cause be changed

Tx:27.79  and events wherein its “hero” finds itself, the dream has but one  purpose, taught in many ways. This single lesson does it try to teach
Tx:27.83  because you did not make it and cannot control its actions or its  purpose or its fate.
Tx:28.2  And like all the things you made, it can be used to serve another  purpose and to be the means for something else. It can be used to

Tx:28.31  it seems to give a cause to sickness which is not its cause. The  purpose of the gap is all the cause that sickness has. For it was

Tx:28.63  Son, and for this purpose it cannot be sick. It will not join a  purpose not your own, and you have chosen that it not be sick. All
Tx:28.66  can be used to liberate God's Son unto his home. And with this holy  purpose is it made a home of holiness a little while because it
Tx:29.5  weaknesses set up the limitations on what you would do and keep your  purpose limited and weak.
Tx:29.6  misuse each circumstance and everyone you meet and see in them a  purpose not your own.
Tx:29.16  and Heaven knows it not. Yet here on earth it has a double  purpose, for it can be made to teach opposing things. And they
Tx:29.16  this but means the mind remains unchanged in its belief of what the  purpose of the body is.
Tx:29.29  they cover something else. Perceptions are determined by their  purpose in that they seem to be what they are for. A shadow figure
Tx:29.32  you, and you of him because he is his Father's Son and not for any  purpose you may see in him. Nothing is asked of you but to accept the
Tx:29.40 Nothing survives its  purpose. If it be conceived to die, then die it must unless it does
Tx:29.40  be conceived to die, then die it must unless it does not take this  purpose as its own. Change is the only thing that can be made a
Tx:29.40  Change is the only thing that can be made a blessing here, where  purpose is not fixed, however changeless it appears to be. Think not
Tx:29.40  it appears to be. Think not that you can set a goal unlike God's  purpose for you and establish it as changeless and eternal. You can
Tx:29.40  and establish it as changeless and eternal. You can give yourself a  purpose that you do not have. But you can not remove the power to
Tx:29.40  But you can not remove the power to change your mind and see another  purpose there. Change is the greatest gift God gave to all that you
Tx:29.41  not aim at keeping time but at its ending when it has no use. Its  purpose ended; it is gone. And where it once held seeming sway is now
Tx:29.42  but is defined as what you see it for. How lovely is the world whose  purpose is forgiveness of God's Son! How free from fear, how filled
Tx:29.44  separated off and found where all the rest of it is not. This is the  purpose he bestows upon the body—that it seek for what he lacks and
Tx:29.45  God's Son within and prove that he is victor over him. This is the  purpose every idol has, for this the role that is assigned to it, and
Tx:29.48  Look not to idols. Do not seek outside yourself. Let us forget the  purpose of the world the past has given it. For otherwise, the future
Tx:29.49  circle of despair, you need but to decide you do not know the  purpose of the world. You give it goals it does not have, and thus do
Tx:29.52  what they really are. That is the only power which they have. Their  purpose is obscure, and they are feared and worshiped both because
Tx:29.55 This world of idols is a veil across the face of Christ because its  purpose is to separate your brother from yourself. A dark and fearful
Tx:29.55  is to separate your brother from yourself. A dark and fearful  purpose, yet a thought without the power to change one blade of grass
Tx:29.59 What  purpose has an idol, then? What is it for? This is the only question
Tx:29.60  It is for him the Holy Spirit speaks and tells you idols have no  purpose here. For more than Heaven can you never have. If Heaven is
Tx:29.67  now has changed into a dream where all is joy because that is the  purpose which it has. Only forgiving dreams can enter here, for time
Tx:30.24  mind about the day and have remembered what you really want. Its  purpose has no longer been obscured by the insane belief you want it
Tx:30.39  upon the form of what you want, you lose the understanding of its  purpose. So you see your will within the idol, thus reducing it to a
Tx:30.40  this, you will achieve completion in a form you like. This is the  purpose of an idol—that you will not look beyond it to the source
Tx:30.57 The real world is the state of mind in which the only  purpose of the world is seen to be forgiveness. Fear is not its goal,
Tx:30.58  be understood. The world becomes a place of hope because its only  purpose is to be a place where hope of happiness can be fulfilled.
Tx:30.58  outside this hope because the world has been united in belief the  purpose of the world is one which all must share if hope be more than
Tx:30.59 Not yet is Heaven quite remembered, for the  purpose of forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone is certain he will
Tx:30.59  but this. And fear has dropped away because he is united in his  purpose with himself. There is a hope of happiness in him so sure and
Tx:30.60  for understanding this is Heaven itself. Even the real world has a  purpose still beneath creation and eternity. But fear is gone because
Tx:30.60  still beneath creation and eternity. But fear is gone because its  purpose is forgiveness, not idolatry. And so is Heaven's Son prepared
Tx:30.61 The real world still falls short of this, for this is God's own  purpose—only His, and yet completely shared and perfectly
Tx:30.61  are purposeless. For only then can guilt and sin be seen without a  purpose and as meaningless.
Tx:30.62 Thus is the real world's  purpose gently brought into awareness, to replace the goal of sin and
Tx:30.63 When brothers join in  purpose in the world of fear, they stand already at the edge of the
Tx:30.69  they thought He was their enemy. But when they joined and shared a  purpose, they were free to learn their will is one. And thus the Will
Tx:30.76  the miracle can heal all forms of sickness, or it cannot heal. Its  purpose cannot be to judge which forms are real and which appearances
Tx:30.82  and yet is true. The Holy Spirit looks upon the world as with one  purpose, changelessly established. And no situation can affect its
Tx:30.84 Only a constant  purpose can endow events with stable meaning. But it must accord one
Tx:30.85 A common  purpose is the only means whereby perception can be stabilized and
Tx:30.85  given to the world and all experiences here. In this shared  purpose is one [meaning] shared by everyone and everything you see.
Tx:30.86 Escape from judgment simply lies in this—all things have but one  purpose which you share with all the world. And nothing in the world
Tx:30.86  to it, for it belongs to everything as it belongs to you. In single  purpose is the end of all ideas of sacrifice, which must assume a
Tx:30.86  is the end of all ideas of sacrifice, which must assume a different  purpose for the one who gains and him who loses. There could be no
Tx:30.87  is no light by which they can be seen and understood. They have no  purpose. And what they are for cannot be seen. In any thought of
Tx:31.5  really true. Yet you will learn them, for their learning is the only  purpose for your learning skill the Holy Spirit sees in all the
Tx:31.12  every preconception which we hold of what things mean and what their  purpose is. Let us remember not our own ideas of what the world is
Tx:31.16  is what you made your brother for and learned to think that this his  purpose is. Unless he serves it, he has not fulfilled the function
Tx:31.16  was given him by you. And thus he merits death because he has no  purpose and no usefulness to you.
Tx:31.24  for will be enough to let this happen. And you will perceive his  purpose is the same as yours. He asks for what you want and needs the
Tx:31.24  answer to. He asks and you receive, for you have come with but one  purpose—that you both may learn you love each other with a
Tx:31.28  at all. If you are sin you are a body, for the mind acts not. And  purpose must be in the body, not the mind. The body must act on its
Tx:31.28  If you are sin, you lock the mind within the body, and you give its  purpose to its prison-house, which acts instead of it. A jailer does
Tx:31.29  the mind preferred the body change in its appearances to suit the  purpose given by the mind. For it can learn, and there is all change
Tx:31.30 The mind that thinks it is a sin has but one  purpose—that the body be the source of sin and keep it in the
Tx:31.33  the world can offer consolation and escape from problems which its  purpose is to keep. Why should this be? Because it is a place where
Tx:31.35  the world. But this is not the lesson in itself. The lesson has a  purpose, and in this you come to understand what it is for.
Tx:31.36  way the lesson starts but do not yet perceive what it is for? Its  purpose is the answer to the search that all must undertake who still
Tx:31.36  will learning lead to heights of happiness in which you see the  purpose of the lesson shining clear, and perfectly within your
Tx:31.38  alternative instead. To fight against this step is to defeat your  purpose here. You did not come to learn to find a road the world does
Tx:31.39  it. And every road that leads the other way will not advance the  purpose to be found. If this be difficult to understand, then is this
Tx:31.40  given him. How utterly opposed to truth is this, when the lesson's  purpose is to teach that what your brother loses you have lost and
Tx:31.41  within, when every road was made to separate the journey from the  purpose it must have unless it be but futile wandering? All roads
Tx:31.43  of the self is what the learning of the world is for. This is its  purpose—that you come without a self and make one as you go along.
Tx:31.95  through the world with every choice they make. For we are one in  purpose, and the end of hell is near.

W1:6.3  to upset you and can profitably be used throughout the day for that  purpose. However, the three or four practice periods which are

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

W1:29.1 The idea for today explains why you can see all  purpose in anything. It explains why nothing is separate, by itself
W1:29.2  as you see it. Yet we emphasized yesterday that a table shares the  purpose of the universe. And what shares the purpose of the universe

W1:38.8  focused on the theme “There is nothing my holiness cannot do.” The  purpose of today's exercises is to begin to instill in you a sense

W1:44.3 Today we are going to attempt to reach that light. For this  purpose, we will use a form of practice which has been suggested
W1:46.6 The  purpose of the first phase of today's practice is to put you in the
W1:R1.5 The  purpose of your learning is to enable you to bring the quiet with you

W1:61.9  goes far beyond the ego's petty views of what you are and what your  purpose is. As a bringer of salvation, this is obviously necessary.
W1:63.1  to recognize the means for letting this be done through you! What  purpose could you have that would bring you greater happiness?
W1:63.2  It is yours to give him, for it belongs to you. Accept no trivial  purpose or meaningless desire in its place or you will forget your
W1:64.1  another way of saying, “Let me not wander into temptation.” The  purpose of the world you see is to obscure your function of
W1:64.2  to see can be anything but a form of temptation, since this was the  purpose of the body itself. Yet we have learned that the Holy Spirit
W1:64.2  for all the illusions you have made, and therefore He sees another  purpose in them. To the Holy Spirit, the world is a place where you
W1:65.1  necessary for a total commitment. Salvation cannot be the only  purpose you hold while you still cherish others. The full acceptance
W1:65.4 The  purpose of this is to arrange your day so that you have set apart the
W1:65.4  mind needs, so that the Holy Spirit can use it consistently for the  purpose He shares with you.
W1:65.10  but try to get a sense of being willing to have your illusions of  purpose be replaced by truth.
W1:66.4 Our longer practice period today has as its  purpose your acceptance of the fact that not only is there a very
W1:69.3  to us than all else. Salvation is our only need. There is no other  purpose here and no other function to fulfill. Learning salvation is
W1:70.5 Your  purpose was to ensure that healing did not occur; God's purpose was
W1:70.5 Your purpose was to ensure that healing did not occur; God's  purpose was to ensure that it did. Today we practice realizing that

W1:73.10  of an alien power, thrust upon you unwillingly. It is the one  purpose here on which you and your Father are in perfect accord.
W1:75.4  shows us. This is what we want to see, and only this. Our single  purpose makes our goal inevitable. Today the real world rises before
W1:76.4  names in a long catalogue of rituals that have no use and serve no  purpose. You think you must obey the “laws” of medicine, of
W1:81.7  separate my function from my will. I would not use this for an alien  purpose.
W1:83.2  conflict because it means I cannot have conflicting goals. With one  purpose only, I am always certain what to do, what to say, and what
W1:91.13  are united with you in this practice period in which you share a  purpose like Their own. Theirs is the light in which you will see
W1:91.14  with today's idea. This form would be helpful for this special  purpose:
W1:92.6  that it may bring to all the miracle in which they will unite in  purpose and forgiveness and in love.
W1:92.7 Weakness, which looks in darkness, cannot see a  purpose in forgiveness and in love. It sees all others different from
W1:95.5  you must also have noticed that, unless you are reminded of your  purpose frequently, you tend to forget about it for long periods of
W1:96.7  a dream presents? What could the resolution mean in truth? What  purpose could it serve? What is it for? Salvation cannot make
W1:98.2  our doubts we lay aside today and take our stand with certainty of  purpose and with thanks that doubt is gone and surety has come. We
W1:98.2  with thanks that doubt is gone and surety has come. We have a mighty  purpose to fulfill and have been given everything we need with which
W1:98.6  exchange a little of your time for peace of mind and certainty of  purpose with the promise of complete success. And since time has no
W1:100.1  ways. One function shared by separate minds unites them in one  purpose, for each one is equally essential to them all.
W1:122.1  offers it. Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of  purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world?
W1:125.8  speaks. It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and  purpose, with no separation nor division in the single Mind of Father
W1:125.10  by today, be still a moment and remind yourself you have a special  purpose for this day—in quiet to receive the Word of God.
W1:127.4 No course whose  purpose is to teach you what you really are could fail to emphasize
W1:128.2  it will serve no other end but this. For everything must serve the  purpose you have given it until you see a different purpose there.
W1:128.2  must serve the purpose you have given it until you see a different  purpose there. The only purpose worthy of your mind this world
W1:128.2  you have given it until you see a different purpose there. The only  purpose worthy of your mind this world contains is that you pass it
W1:128.6  its wings, and it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy  purpose. Let it rest in its Creator, there to be restored to sanity,
W1:131.9  Let us not try longer to impose an alien will upon God's single  purpose. He is here because He wills to be, and what He wills is
W1:131.19 Today I seek and find all that I want. My single  purpose offers it to me. No one can fail who asks to reach the truth.
W1:132.15 Today our  purpose is to free the world from all the idle thoughts we ever held
W1:133.9  choice you make of value to you? What attracts your mind to it? What  purpose does it serve? Here it is easiest of all to be deceived, for
W1:135.15  easy to perceive that self-initiated plans are but defenses with the  purpose all of them were made to realize. They are the means by which
W1:135.19  past, present, and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only  purpose is your good? Perhaps you have misunderstood His plan, for He
W1:136.1 No one can heal unless he understands what  purpose sickness seems to serve. For then he understands as well its
W1:136.1  purpose sickness seems to serve. For then he understands as well its  purpose has no meaning. Being causeless and without a meaningful
W1:136.2  is an insane device for self-deception. And like all the rest, its  purpose is to hide reality, attack it, change it, render it inept,
W1:136.13  alter it. Truth merely wants to give you happiness, for such its  purpose is. Perhaps it sighs a little when you throw away its gifts,
W1:138.7  the choice that time was made to help us make. Such is its holy  purpose, now transformed from the intent you gave it, that it be a
W1:139.6  is true? Nothing the world believes is true. It is a place whose  purpose is to be a home where those who claim they do not know
W1:R4.5  your unforgiving thoughts from being seen and recognized. Their  purpose is to show you something else and hold correction off through
W1:R4.10  There is no hurry now, for you are using time for its intended  purpose. Let each word shine with the meaning God has given it as it
W1:153.8 We will not play such childish games today. For our true  purpose is to save the world, and we would not exchange for
W1:153.9  our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen  purpose as our ministry extends its holy blessing through the world.
W1:153.10 Be still a moment, and in silence think how holy is your  purpose, how secure you rest, untouchable within its light. God's
W1:153.15  better still. And as distraction ceases to arise to turn us from our  purpose, we will find that half an hour is too short a time to spend
W1:153.20  time we feel the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of  purpose. We will pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your
W1:154.5  delivery. If he determines what the messages should be or what their  purpose is or where they should be carried, he is failing to perform
W1:155.9  given you to follow in your footsteps as you walk with certainty of  purpose to the truth. It goes before you now, that they may see
W1:157.6 Your body will be sanctified today, its only  purpose being now to bring the vision of what you experience this day
W1:157.8  you now appear, for you will have no need of it. Yet now it has a  purpose and will serve it well. Today we will embark upon a course
W1:161.2  whole, for only thus could it invent the partial world you see. The  purpose of all seeing is to show you what you wish to see. All
W1:161.3  We give them to the Holy Spirit that He may employ them for a  purpose which is different from the one we gave to them. Yet He can
W1:164.9 Is not this  purpose worthy to be yours? Is not Christ's vision worthy to be
W1:R5.1  But now we hasten on, for we approach a greater certainty, a firmer  purpose and a surer goal.
W1:R5.15  the end of practice periods, but to recall the mind as needed to its  purpose. We place faith in the experience that comes from practice,
W1:184.12  of the world to take the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our  purpose is to let our minds accept what He has given as the answer to
W1:185.10  but sure to you. You have been weak at times, uncertain in your  purpose and unsure of what you wanted, where to look for it, and
W1:193.4  And now guilt cannot enter, for its source has been excluded as the  purpose of the lesson has been changed to guiltlessness; the hatred
W1:193.14  another instant. Time was made for this. Use it today for what its  purpose is. Morning and night, devote what time you can to serve its
W1:199.6  seek for freedom. In Him they find what they have sought. The body's  purpose now is unambiguous. And it becomes perfect in the ability to
W1:199.6  the thought of freedom as its goal, the body serves, and serves its  purpose well. Without the power to enslave, it is a worthy servant of
W1:200.5  but chains and iron doors. For you must change your mind about the  purpose of the world if you would find escape. You will be bound till
W1:200.6  from evil dreams that he imagines, yet believes are true, a worthy  purpose? Who could hope for more while there appears to be a choice

Tx:3.27 The partly innocent are apt to be  quite stupid at times. It is not until their innocence becomes a

Tx:4.94  more helpful to correct it in a specific context. Ego-illusions are  quite specific, although they frequently change and although the mind
Tx:4.95  so, individual egos perceive different kinds of threat which are  quite specific in their own judgment. For example, although all forms

Tx:14.34  in the communication that God Himself wills with His Son is  quite impossible here. Unbroken and uninterrupted love flows

Tx:16.12  would show you instantly that order of difficulty in miracles is  quite impossible, for it involves a contradiction of what miracles
Tx:16.13 You have done miracles, but it is  quite apparent that you have not done them alone. You have succeeded
Tx:16.25  will take the place of what you took in to replace them. They are  quite real as part of the Self you do not know. And they communicate
Tx:16.31  meaning if love is everything. You will go through this last undoing  quite unharmed and will at last emerge as yourself. This is the last
Tx:16.44  of this offering, the fantasies which center around it are often  quite open. Here they are usually judged to be acceptable and even
Tx:17.45  but it makes the relationship seem disturbed, disjunctive, and even  quite distressing. The reason is quite clear. For the relationship as

Tx:19.51  perception. What love would look upon is meaningless to fear and  quite invisible. Relationships in this world are the result of how
Tx:19.92  of separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of God seems  quite forgotten; the cleavage of your Self from you—the fear of
Tx:20.62  but in illusion, and so the illusion of a brother as a body is  quite in keeping with the purpose of unholiness. Because of this
Tx:21.8 Listen—perhaps you catch a hint of an ancient state not  quite forgotten; dim, perhaps, and yet not altogether unfamiliar,
Tx:21.40  so it still is seen. Yet in the light of vision, it is looked upon  quite differently. You can have faith in it to serve the Holy
Tx:21.41  not be fearful to admit. Fear in association with sin the ego deems  quite appropriate and smiles approvingly. It has no fear to let you

W1:41.7 It is quite possible to  reach God. In fact it is very easy because it is the most natural
W1:42.7  and you have let obviously irrelevant thoughts intrude. You may also  reach a point where no thoughts at all seem to come to mind. If such
W1:44.3 Today we are going to attempt to  reach that light. For this purpose, we will use a form of practice
W1:44.6  might find it helpful to remind yourself from time to time that to  reach light is to escape from darkness, whatever you may believe to
W1:44.6  contrary. God is the Light in which you see. You are attempting to  reach Him.
W1:45.3 Where, then, are your real thoughts? Today we will attempt to  reach them. We will have to look for them in your mind because that
W1:45.8  past all the unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your mind, and  reach to the eternal.
W1:45.11  the Father and God the Son. For such is the place you are trying to  reach. You will probably be unable as yet to realize how high you are
W1:45.11  this is no idle game but an exercise in holiness and an attempt to  reach the Kingdom of Heaven.
W1:47.4 Today we will try to  reach past your own weakness to the Source of real strength. Four

W1:49.4  sights of this insane world. You do not live there. We are trying to  reach your real home. We are trying to reach the place where you are
W1:49.4  live there. We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to  reach the place where you are truly welcome. We are trying to reach
W1:49.4  to reach the place where you are truly welcome. We are trying to  reach God.
W1:60.2  It will bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love of God can  reach down to me and raise me to my home.
W1:67.2 We will make every effort today to  reach this truth about you and to realize fully, if only for a
W1:67.5  thoughts drop away for a brief preparatory interval, and then try to  reach past all your images and preconceptions about yourself to the
W1:69.2 Today let us make another real attempt to  reach the light in you. Before we undertake this in our more extended

W1:70.12  Remember that you will have to go through the clouds before you can  reach the light. But remember also that you have never found anything

W1:94.5 Now try to  reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self that never sinned nor
W1:94.6 Nothing is required of you to  reach this goal except to lay all idols and self-images aside, go
W1:95.6  to include frequent reminders of your goal and regular attempts to  reach it. Regularity in terms of time is not the ideal requirement
W1:95.12  else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again and try to  reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is
W1:96.2  accepted this, you will attempt endless lists of goals you cannot  reach; a senseless series of expenditures of time and effort,
W1:98.2  to fulfill and have been given everything we need with which to  reach the goal. Not one mistake stands in our way, for we have been
W1:100.10 He will be there. And you can  reach Him now. What could you rather look upon in place of Him Who
W1:102.3  devote our longer practice periods to exercises planned to help you  reach the happiness God's Will has placed in you. Here is your home,

W1:131.2 Goals which are meaningless are not attained. There is no way to  reach them, for the means by which you strive for them are

W1:131.9  because He wills to be, and what He wills is present now beyond the  reach of time.
W1:131.11 No one can fail who asks to  reach the truth, and it is truth we ask to reach today. We will

W1:146.1 [131] No one can fail who asks to  reach the truth.
W1:153.21 Be not afraid nor timid. There can be no doubt that you will  reach your final goal. The ministers of God can never fail because
W1:155.6 Illusion still appears to cling to you that you may  reach them. Yet it has stepped back, and it is not illusion that they

W1:162.1  would save the world. From time to time we will repeat it, as we  reach another stage in learning. It will mean far more to you as you
W1:183.8  call on Him with names of idols cherished by the world. They cannot  reach Him thus. He cannot hear requests that He be not Himself or
W1:185.10  this when you make this request with deep sincerity. For thus you  reach to what they really want and join your own intent with what

Tx:2.11  to note that the term “project outward” necessarily implies that the  real source of projection is internal. This is as true of the Son as
Tx:2.13  sleeping eye can still see. What is seen in dreams seems to be very  real. The Bible mentions that “a deep sleep fell upon Adam,” and
Tx:2.15  he neither can nor has been able to do this. In this fact lies the  real justification for his escape from fear. The escape is brought
Tx:2.21  Its will is therefore limited and is not free to assert itself. The  real meaning of “are of one kind,” which was mentioned before, is
Tx:2.23  the total lack of threat anywhere. Together we can then work for the  real time of peace, which is eternal.

Tx:2.45  next step is to realize that a temple is not a building at all. Its  real holiness lies in the inner altar around which the building is

Tx:2.49  passes over all others, looking past error to truth. Because of the  real strength of Its vision, It pulls the will into Its service and

Tx:2.87  the miracle, or the expression of Atonement, is always a sign of  real respect from the worthy to the worthy. This worth is
Tx:2.88  to realize why fear occurs. Very few people appreciate the  real power of the mind, and no one remains fully aware of it all the
Tx:2.90  such power about yourself is merely arrogant, but that is not the  real reason why you do not believe it. People prefer to believe that

Tx:2.91 There is a  real dilemma here which only the truly right-minded can escape. Death
Tx:2.94  working entails a full realization of the power of thought and  real avoidance of miscreation. Otherwise, a miracle will be necessary
Tx:2.97  he is in pain. The cause and effect principle here is temporarily a  real expediter. Actually, “Cause” is a term properly belonging to
Tx:2.97  into his own miscreations. The fundamental opponents in the  real basic conflict are creation and miscreation. All fear is
Tx:2.105  a matter of will. It also follows that whatever he creates is  real in his own sight but not necessarily in the sight of God. This
Tx:2.105  the sight of God. This basic distinction leads us directly into the  real meaning of the Last Judgment.

Tx:3.7  has any real effect. Pragmatically, what has no real effect has no  real existence. Its effect, then, is emptiness. Being without
Tx:3.12  religions, and this is neither by chance nor by coincidence. Yet the  real Christian would have to pause and ask, “How could this be?” Is
Tx:3.15  is Mine sayeth the Lord,” is a strictly karmic viewpoint. It is a  real misperception of truth by which man assigns his own “evil” past
Tx:3.26  lasting solace. Innocence is not a partial attribute. It is not a  real defense until it is total. When it is partial, it is
Tx:3.28  what God creates, or what man creates with the same will, has any  real existence. This, then, is all the innocent can see. They do not

Tx:3.38  functions.] The abilities man now possesses are only shadows of his  real strengths. All of his functions are equivocal and open to
Tx:3.48  with that of my Creator, I naturally remembered the Soul and its own  real purpose.
Tx:3.50  “chosen ones” are merely those who choose right sooner. This is the  real meaning of the celestial speed-up. Strong wills can do this now,
Tx:3.51  that the abilities which man possesses are only shadows of his  real strengths and that the intrusion of the ability to perceive,
Tx:3.56  is a miracle. Miraculous creation was his Source and also his  real function.
Tx:3.71  is not sufficient. Yet no one believes that what is wished is as  real as what is willed. Instead of, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of

Tx:3.78 The mind can make the belief in separation very  real and very fearful, and this belief is the “devil.” It is
Tx:4.10  and you have believed in a world which rests upon it. This is very  real to you. You cannot undo this by doing nothing and not changing.
Tx:4.11  thinking that they will one day no longer need him. This is the one  real goal of the parent, teacher, and therapist. This goal will not

Tx:4.27  as part of themselves. No one disowns something he regards as a very  real part of himself. Man reacts to his ego much as God does to His
Tx:4.27  In fact it duplicates in many ways how he will one day react to his  real creations, which are as timeless as he is. The question is not
Tx:4.29  not prepared, and in this sense you are babies. You have no sense of  real self-preservation and are very likely to decide that you need
Tx:4.30 Only those who have a  real and lasting sense of abundance can be truly charitable. This is
Tx:4.31 The “reality principle” of the ego is not  real at all. The ego is forced to perceive the “reality” of other
Tx:4.31  reality of itself. In fact, its whole perception of other egos as  real is only an attempt to convince itself that it is real. “Self

Tx:4.67  that they are real and I am not because, if I am real, I am no more  real than you are. That knowledge, and I assure you that it is
Tx:4.72  so there is no point in turning to it for protection. The ego has no  real answer to this because there is none, but it does have a typical
Tx:4.72  protection?” Even the insane ask it unconsciously, but it requires  real sanity to ask it consciously.

Tx:4.75  in connection with all tangential questions, it hopes to hide the  real question and keep it out of mind. The ego's characteristic
Tx:4.77  also favorite ego devices for impeding the strong-willed from making  real learning progress. The problems of squaring the circle and
Tx:4.79  to realize that the ego is capable of making and accepting as  real some very distorted associations. The confusion of sex with
Tx:4.82  this the ego understands well. “A little,” then, is perceived as the  real threat.
Tx:4.83  essential thing to remember is that the ego does not recognize the  real source of its perceived threat, and if you associate yourself

Tx:5.49  really advocating, then, was adopting a policy of sharing without a  real foundation. I have come to give you the foundation, so your own
Tx:5.63  for you. It is, however, only your acceptance of it that makes it  real. If you enthrone the ego in it, the fact that you have accepted
Tx:5.67  God you are not really thinking at all. Delusional ideas are not  real thoughts, although you can believe in them. But you are wrong.
Tx:5.85  stands under perception, because you have denied it as the  real foundation of thought. This is the basis for all delusional

Tx:5.87  that the point in development at which the mind is fixated is more  real to itself than the external reality with which it disagrees.

Tx:6.42 The only  real safety lies in projecting only the Holy Spirit because, as you

Tx:6.49  mind is its own learning device and that the learning device is more  real than it is. No one in his right mind could possibly believe

Tx:6.50  a sleep in which you have had bad dreams, but the sleep is not  real, and God calls you to awake. There will be nothing left of your
Tx:6.58  them that the nightmares which frightened them so badly were not  real because children believe in magic. You merely reassure them that

Tx:6.76  sanity and insanity. Only one is true, and therefore only one is  real. The ego tries to persuade you that it is up to you to decide

Tx:10.73 To believe that you can perceive the  real world is to believe that you can know yourself. You can know God

Tx:10.74  did not believe it. Yet the swiftness with which your new and only  real perception will be translated into knowledge will leave you only

Tx:11.49  curriculum goal is obvious. Every legitimate teaching aid, every  real instruction, and every sensible guide to learning will be
Tx:11.55  come from the projection of loving thoughts outward. Make the world  real unto yourself, for the real world is the gift of the Holy

Tx:11.60  world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. For the  real world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where everything eternal
Tx:11.61  not apply, and by applying them to all situations, you will gain the  real world. For in this holy perception, you will be made whole, and
Tx:11.64  witnesses and speak for His Presence. What you cannot see becomes  real to you only through the witnesses who speak for it. For you can
Tx:11.64  can be aware of what you cannot see, and it can become compellingly  real to you as its presence becomes manifest through you. Do the Holy
Tx:11.72  That is because you do not yet want only that. Yet as I become more  real to you, you will learn that you do want only that. And you will
Tx:11.72  as God created it together. Through the eyes of Christ, only the  real world exists and can be seen. As you decide, so will you see.
Tx:11.77  know neither the Father nor the Son because of them. You attack the  real world every day and every hour and every minute, and yet you are
Tx:11.81  it is not so. Son of God, be not content with nothing! What is not  real cannot be seen and has no value. God could not offer His Son
Tx:11.82  you have sought nothing and found nothing. By making nothing  real to you, you have seen it. But it is not there. And Christ is
Tx:11.84 The  real world was given you by God in loving exchange for the world you
Tx:11.87 If this were the  real world, God would be cruel. For no father could subject his
Tx:11.98 You cannot dispel guilt by making it  real and then atoning for it. This is the ego's plan, which it offers
Tx:11.99  then, there is no escape from guilt. For attack makes guilt  real, and if it is real, there is no way to overcome it. The Holy
Tx:11.99  is no escape from guilt. For attack makes guilt real, and if it is  real, there is no way to overcome it. The Holy Spirit dispels it
Tx:12.6  is the symbol of the ego. When it was confronted with the  real guiltlessness of God's Son, it did attempt to kill him, and the
Tx:12.11  you fear even more. You are not afraid of crucifixion. Your  real terror is of redemption. Under the ego's dark foundation is the
Tx:12.13  associate love with weakness and hatred with strength, and your own  real power seems to you as your real weakness. For you could not
Tx:12.13  hatred with strength, and your own real power seems to you as your  real weakness. For you could not control your joyous response to the
Tx:12.16  all the tricks and games you offer it can heal it, for here is the  real crucifixion of God's Son.
Tx:12.18 Beneath all your grandiosity, which you hold so dear, is your  real call for help. For you call for love to your Father as your
Tx:12.18  can satisfy him or save him from what he is. Only his love is  real, and he will be content only with his reality.
Tx:12.20  Father. He feared what he had made, but still more did he fear his  real Father, having attacked his own glorious equality with Him.
Tx:12.24  Heaven. For your definition of Heaven is hell and oblivion, and the  real Heaven is the greatest threat you think you could experience.
Tx:12.27  messages from them out of your own past because, by making it  real in the present, you are forbidding yourself to let it go. You
Tx:12.28  from the past are precisely what you must escape. For they are not  real and have no hold over you unless you bring them with you. They
Tx:12.34  private worlds do differ. Yet the figures that he sees were never  real, for they are made up only of his reactions to his brothers and
Tx:12.42  fear, as His from love. And He sees for you as your witness to the  real world. He is the Holy Spirit's manifestation, looking always on
Tx:12.42  world. He is the Holy Spirit's manifestation, looking always on the  real world and calling forth its witnesses and drawing them unto you.
Tx:12.50  forever true. All healing lies within it because its continuity is  real. It extends to all aspects of consciousness at the same time and
Tx:12.57  were not alone. Even in sleep has Christ protected you, ensuring the  real world for you when you wake. In your name He has given for you
Tx:12.59 The  real world is not like this. It has no buildings, and there are no
Tx:12.60  denied the other. Both are not true, yet either one will seem as  real to you as the amount to which you hold it dear. And yet their
Tx:12.60  you hold it dear. And yet their power is not the same because their  real attraction to you is unequal.
Tx:12.62 Yet the  real world has the power to touch you even here because you love it.
Tx:12.66  His Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's love forever. The  real world is the way that leads you to remembrance of this one thing
Tx:12.67  you offer knowledge. Love waits on welcome, not on time, and the  real world is but your welcome of what always was. Therefore, the
Tx:12.75  will teach you to awaken unto us and to yourself. This is the only  real need to be fulfilled in time. Salvation from the world lies only
Tx:13.2 The very  real difference between perception and knowledge becomes quite
Tx:13.20  where it is not. The doubtful service of displacement is to hide the  real source of your guilt and keep from your awareness the full
Tx:13.20  provided that they are not the deeper source to which they bear no  real relationship at all.
Tx:13.21 Insane ideas have no  real relationships, for that is why they are insane. No real
Tx:13.21  have no real relationships, for that is why they are insane. No  real relationship can rest on guilt or even hold one spot of it to
Tx:13.21  you have made for this strange purpose! And you forgot that  real relationships are holy and cannot be used by you at all. They
Tx:13.21  it in that strange relationship. It is not shared, and so it is not  real.
Tx:13.22  satisfaction and peace with him, because your union with him is not  real. You will see guilt in that relationship because you put it
Tx:13.23  let them stand between you and your brothers, with whom you find no  real relationships at all. Can you expect to use your brothers as a
Tx:13.25  reason. The Holy Spirit seeks not to dispel reality. If guilt were  real, Atonement would not be. The purpose of Atonement is to dispel
Tx:13.25  of Atonement is to dispel illusions, not to establish them as  real and then forgive them.
Tx:13.30 You cannot enter into  real relationships with any of God's Sons unless you love them all
Tx:13.35  by a cruel war unless he believes that both opponents in the war are  real. Believing this, he must escape, for such a war would surely end
Tx:13.35  him. Yet if he could but realize the war is between forces that are  real and unreal powers, he could look upon himself and see his
Tx:13.58 The truth is true. Nothing else matters, nothing else is  real, and everything beside it is not there. Let Me make the one
Tx:13.88  restore what always was to your unforgiving mind. Atonement becomes  real and visible to them that use it. On earth this is your only
Tx:14.24  reconciled by union, as you are. In union, everything that is not  real must disappear, for truth is union. As darkness disappears in
Tx:14.25  you are, being within you. Yet it can be recognized or unrecognized,  real or false to you. If you hide it, it becomes unreal to you
Tx:14.39  with time or mood or chance. Its changelessness is what makes it  real. This cannot be undone. Undoing is for unreality. And this
Tx:15.51  much you seek for its reality, you cannot find it because it is not  real.
Tx:15.67  of guilt must be recognized for what it is. For having been made  real to you, it is essential to look at it clearly, and by
Tx:15.67  as this belongs not in your holy mind. The host of God can have no  real investment here.
Tx:15.77  And He will do so, for the power of God in Him and you is joined in  real relationship, so holy and so strong that it can overcome even
Tx:15.86  completely. Yet it remains the only means by which you can establish  real relationships.
Tx:15.87  Real relationships have no limits, having been established by God. In
Tx:15.94  give separately. When you are willing to accept our relationship as  real, guilt will hold no attraction for you. For in our union, you
Tx:15.99  savage and so fearful that you cannot accept it where it is. But the  real price of not accepting this has been so great that you have
Tx:16.3  there that you would keep. Do not use empathy to make the past  real and so perpetuate it. Step gently aside and let the healing be
Tx:16.7  Only the Holy Spirit recognizes foolish needs as well as  real ones. And He will teach you how to meet both without losing
Tx:16.13  as long as you believe that you must understand it or else it is not  real.
Tx:16.16  the truth of what you do not want. Yet your relationship with Him is  real and has been demonstrated. Regard this not with fear but with
Tx:16.18  resolve together to accept the joyful tidings that disaster is not  real and that reality is not disaster.
Tx:16.24  You have been very careful to avoid the obvious and not to see the  real cause and effect relationship that is perfectly apparent. Yet
Tx:16.25  take the place of what you took in to replace them. They are quite  real as part of the Self you do not know. And they communicate to you
Tx:16.25  home. You who are host to God are also host to them. For nothing  real has ever left the mind of its creator. And what is not real was
Tx:16.25  nothing real has ever left the mind of its creator. And what is not  real was never there.
Tx:16.36  is nothing more than an attempt] to bring love into fear and make it  real in fear. In fundamental violation of love's condition, the
Tx:16.36  it is you think you can do to solve the dilemma, which seems very  real to you, but which does not exist. You have come very close to
Tx:16.51  of specialness as an act of love would make love hateful. And the  real purpose of the special relationship, in strict accordance with
Tx:16.60  helpful tool in protecting you from the attraction of guilt, the  real lure in the special relationship. You do not recognize that this
Tx:16.60  in the special relationship. You do not recognize that this is its  real appeal, for the ego has taught you that freedom lies in it. Yet
Tx:16.66  you cannot keep part of the thought system which taught you it was  real and understand the Thought that really knows what you are. You
Tx:16.71  in the present, and if it means nothing now, it cannot have any  real meaning at all. How can you change the past except in fantasy?
Tx:16.79  that you always choose between truth and illusion—between the  real Atonement which would heal and the ego's “atonement” which would
Tx:16.80  To join in close relationship with Him is to accept relationships as  real and through their reality to give over all illusions for the
Tx:17.5  try to bring truth to illusions, you are trying to make illusions  real and keep them by justifying your belief in them. But to give
Tx:17.8 This loveliness is not a fantasy. It is the  real world, bright and clean and new with everything sparkling under
Tx:17.9  No one but Him Who planned salvation could complete it thus. The  real world, in its loveliness, you learn to reach. Fantasies are all
Tx:17.9  on it. And with this final blessing of God's Son upon himself, the  real perception, born of the new perspective he has learned, has
Tx:17.10  which made perception possible will occur. The perception of the  real world will be so short that you will barely have time to thank
Tx:17.10  For God will take the last step swiftly when you have reached the  real world and have been made ready for Him.
Tx:17.11 The  real world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old,
Tx:17.11  to you the seeming reasons for your making it. In the light of the  real reason which He brings, as you follow Him, He will show you that
Tx:17.12  For forgiveness literally transforms vision and lets you see the  real world reaching quietly and gently across chaos and removing all
Tx:17.13 How much do you want salvation? It will give you the  real world, trembling with readiness to be given you. The eagerness
Tx:17.13  Redeemer and walk with him in trust out of this world and into the  real world of beauty and forgiveness.
Tx:17.25  you value more. The spark of beauty or the veil of ugliness, the  real world or the world of guilt and fear, truth or illusion, freedom
Tx:17.26  step between you and your fantasies. Let my relationship to you be  real to you, and let me bring reality to your perception of your
Tx:17.27  happy, and nothing you do which does not share His purpose can be  real. The purpose God ascribed to anything is its only function.
Tx:17.27  as its Creator did. Whatever fulfills this function not cannot be  real.
Tx:17.29 You have made very  real relationships even in this world which you do not recognize
Tx:17.40  and eternity grows more convincing as you look at it. And now by  real comparison a transformation of both pictures can at last occur.
Tx:17.40  you will recognize as what it is—a picture of what you thought was  real and nothing more. For beyond this picture, you will see nothing.
Tx:17.44 The holy relationship, a major step toward the perception of the  real world, is learned. It is the old unholy relationship transformed
Tx:17.79  you had faith in it, for no one accepts what he does not believe is  real. Your purpose has not changed and will not change, for you
Tx:18.7  individually is pointless. Their tiny differences in form are no  real differences at all. None of them matters. That they have in
Tx:18.14 Does not a world that seems quite  real arise in dreams? Yet think what this world is. It is clearly not
Tx:18.17  is fearful, not what you would do to it. And thus is guilt made  real.
Tx:18.18  it, you see it. And while you see it, you do not doubt that it is  real. Yet here is a world, clearly within your mind, that seems to be
Tx:18.19 Your wish to make another world that is not  real remains with you. And what you seem to wake to is but another
Tx:18.20  you. [But He does use it differently, as a help to make His purpose  real to you.] Your special relationship will remain, not as a source
Tx:18.23  In your relationship, the Holy Spirit has gently laid the  real world—the world of happy dreams from which awaking is so easy
Tx:18.23  your waking dreams represent the same wishes in your mind, so do the  real world and the truth of Heaven join in the Will of God. The dream
Tx:18.53  For your wish to make destructive what cannot destroy can have no  real effect at all. And what God created is only what He would have
Tx:18.65  never experienced just now. Only its past and future make it seem  real. Time controls it entirely, for sin is never present. In any
Tx:18.89  and will act as it directs as long as you believe that guilt is  real. For the reality of guilt is the illusion which seems to make it
Tx:18.89  which seems to make it heavy and opaque, impenetrable, and a  real foundation for the ego's thought system. Its thinness and
Tx:18.91  that it is all there. Figures stand out and move about, actions seem  real, and forms appear and shift from loveliness to the grotesque.
Tx:18.91  it, you do not confuse it with the world below, nor seek to make it  real.
Tx:18.93 This world of light, this circle of brightness, is the  real world where guilt meets with forgiveness. Here the world outside
Tx:18.95  lie beyond words. We need remember only that whoever attains the  real world, beyond which learning cannot go, will go beyond it but in
Tx:19.2  It is this joining Him in a united purpose which makes this purpose  real because you make it whole. And this is healing. The body is
Tx:19.12  to you. Faith is as easily exchanged for knowledge as is the  real world. For faith arises from the Holy Spirit's perception and is
Tx:19.18  reality and to succeed. Sin is the proclamation that attack is  real and guilt is justified. It assumes the Son of God is guilty and
Tx:19.23  embattled citadel more heavily defended than the idea that sin is  real—the natural expression of what the Son of God has made himself
Tx:19.26  be eternal and will be repeated endlessly.] For what you think is  real you want and will not let it go. An error, on the other hand, is
Tx:19.31 When you are tempted to believe that sin is  real, remember this: If sin is real, both God and you are not. If
Tx:19.31  are tempted to believe that sin is real, remember this: If sin is  real, both God and you are not. If creation is extension, the Creator
Tx:19.31  that what is part of Him is totally unlike the rest. If sin is  real, God must be at war with Himself. He must be split and torn
Tx:19.33 If sin were  real, it would forever be beyond the hope of healing. For there would
Tx:19.44  to be accomplished, wherever it is undertaken? Guilt can raise no  real barriers against it. And all that seems to stand between you
Tx:19.57  and death does not atone for sin. Yet you can live to show it is not  real. The body does appear to be the symbol of sin while you believe
Tx:19.85  And what but insanity could look upon the defeat of God and think it  real?
Tx:19.86 The fear of death will go as its appeal is yielded to love's  real attraction. The end of sin, which nestles quietly in the safety
Tx:19.98  unless he has accepted the Atonement and learned illusions are not  real. No one can stand before this obstacle alone, for he could not
Tx:20.20  all. Yet judgment lays a sentence on it, justifies it, and makes it  real. Such is the world you see—a judgment on yourself and made by
Tx:20.45  God invented an unholy relationship between him and his Father. His  real relationship is one of perfect union and unbroken continuity.
Tx:20.57 You have a  real relationship, and it has meaning. It is as like your real
Tx:20.57 You have a real relationship, and it has meaning. It is as like your  real relationship with God as equal things are like unto each other.
Tx:20.62  means by which the ego tries to make the unholy relationship seem  real. The unholy instant is the time of bodies. But the purpose here
Tx:20.64  valued as a separate thing apart from the intention. The means seem  real because the goal is valued. And judgment has no value unless the
Tx:20.65  to see him not in darkness, for your imaginings about him will seem  real there. You closed your eyes to shut him out. Such was your
Tx:20.69  in along with Him. For peace will come to all who ask for it with  real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the Holy Spirit and
Tx:21.24  the power of wanting, and therefore of faith, to make its goals seem  real and possible. Faith in the unreal leads to adjustments of
Tx:21.25  Cause he would deny. And so he seems to be the cause, producing  real effects. Nothing can have effects without a cause and to confuse
Tx:21.32  holiness is reached. Through them the Holy Spirit leads you to the  real world and away from all illusions where your faith was laid.
Tx:21.62  they believe they see the body and let their madness tell them it is  real. Reason would be incapable of this. And if you would defend the
Tx:21.63  has a purpose and believes it also has the means to make its purpose  real. To see the body as a barrier between what reason tells you must
Tx:21.82  And therefore those who look on sin are seeing the denial of the  real world. Yet the last question adds the wish for constancy in your
Tx:21.82  last question adds the wish for constancy in your desire to see the  real world, so the desire becomes the only one you have. By answering
Tx:21.84  helpless. Desire what you will, and you will look on it and think it  real. No thought but has the power to release or kill. And none can
Tx:22.2  different from themselves. It is this difference, seen but not  real, that makes the need for sin, not real but seen, seem justified.
Tx:22.2  this difference, seen but not real, that makes the need for sin, not  real but seen, seem justified. And all this would be real if sin were
Tx:22.2  for sin, not real but seen, seem justified. And all this would be  real if sin were so. For an unholy relationship is based on
Tx:22.18  but everything in time can change with time. Yet if the change be  real and not imagined, illusions must give way to truth and not to
Tx:22.19  against the truth makes all truth meaningless and all illusions  real. Such is the power of belief. It cannot compromise. And faith in
Tx:22.30  For reason sees through errors, telling you what you thought was  real is not. Reason can see the difference between sin and mistakes
Tx:22.35  you see it, you must be mistaken, for you are seeing what can not be  real as if it were. What cannot see beyond what is not there must be
Tx:22.37  for each to see himself as causing sin by his desire to have sin  real. Yet reason sees a holy relationship as what it is—a common
Tx:22.61  upon your Father. And that is why it has not happened nor could be  real. You do not see that this is your attempt because you think the
Tx:23.8  purpose. And to those who think that it is possible, the means seem  real.
Tx:23.15  of illusions disappears when it is brought to truth! For it seems  real only as long as it is seen as war between conflicting truths,
Tx:23.15  between conflicting truths, the conqueror to be the truer, the more  real, and vanquisher of the illusion that was less real, made an
Tx:23.15  truer, the more real, and vanquisher of the illusion that was less  real, made an illusion by defeat. Thus, conflict is the choice
Tx:23.15  Thus, conflict is the choice between illusions, one to be crowned as  real, the other vanquished and despised. Here will the Father never
Tx:23.23  And fear of God and of each other now appears as sensible, made  real by what the Son of God has done both to himself and his Creator.
Tx:23.33  has no laws. To be believed, its seeming laws must be perceived as  real. Their goal of madness must be seen as sanity. And fear, with
Tx:23.51  be quite different. Here in the midst of it, it does seem  real. Here you have chosen to be part of it. Here murder is your
Tx:23.51  the perspective coming from this choice shows you the battle is not  real and easily escaped. Bodies may battle, but the clash of forms is
Tx:24.14 Specialness is the idea of sin made  real. Sin is impossible even to imagine without this base. For sin
Tx:24.19  a friend. He is the enemy of specialness but only friend to what is  real in you. Not one attack you thought you made on him has taken
Tx:24.20  stand waiting to receive you both in silent blessing and in peace so  real and so encompassing that nothing stands outside. Leave all
Tx:24.34  Whatever gentleness it offers is but deception, but its hate is  real. In danger of destruction, it must kill, and you are drawn to it
Tx:24.38  itself and give it meaning that the truth denies. All that is  real proclaims his sinlessness. All that is false proclaims his sins
Tx:24.38  proclaims his sinlessness. All that is false proclaims his sins as  real. If he is sinful, then is your reality not real but just a dream
Tx:24.38  his sins as real. If he is sinful, then is your reality not  real but just a dream of specialness which lasts an instant,
Tx:24.40  can wish for something and lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes  real, as surely as does will create. The power of a wish upholds
Tx:25.24  everywhere. Not that the world where this reflection is, is  real at all. Only because His Son believes it is, and from His Son's
Tx:25.25  its wars, the perfect shelter for the illusions which it would make  real. Not one but it upholds in its perception; not one but can be
Tx:25.53  by any form of reason believes this to be true. Sin is not  real because the Father and the Son are not insane. This world is
Tx:25.60  what is this belief except a form of the more basic tenet, “Sin is  real and rules the world”? For every little gain must someone lose
Tx:25.67  impossible, for each one contradicts the other and denies that it is  real. It is impossible for you to share the Holy Spirit's justice
Tx:26.21  between the worlds. In this one, choice is made impossible. In the  real world is choosing simplified.
Tx:26.23  what is the same and seems to choose where no choice really is. The  real world is the area of choice made real, not in the outcome but in
Tx:26.23  where no choice really is. The real world is the area of choice made  real, not in the outcome but in the perception of alternatives for
Tx:26.25  sees himself as needing it no more. And thus is he returned to his  real function of creating, which his forgiveness offers him again.
Tx:26.31  It] is but a little hindrance to eternity, quite meaningless to the  real Teacher of the world. Yet since you do believe in [its reality],
Tx:26.36  an ocean to a place and time that have long since gone by? How  real a hindrance can this dream be to where he really is? For this is
Tx:26.37  a past forever more gone by. And everything which points to it as  real is but a wish that what is gone could be made real again and
Tx:26.37  points to it as real is but a wish that what is gone could be made  real again and seen as here and now in place of what is really now
Tx:26.40  and forth between the past and present. Sometimes the past seems  real, as if it were the present. Voices from the past are heard and
Tx:26.41  and gone and hinder not the true existence of the here and now. The  real world is the second part of the hallucination time and death are
Tx:26.41  world is the second part of the hallucination time and death are  real and have existence which can be perceived. This terrible
Tx:26.44  but just because you have denied it is but an illusion and made it  real. And it is real to you. It is not nothing and through its
Tx:26.44  you have denied it is but an illusion and made it real. And it is  real to you. It is not nothing and through its perceived reality has
Tx:26.44  and death has come to you. For no one can make one illusion  real and still escape the rest. For who can choose to keep the ones
Tx:26.48  apparent. Kept apart from truth, it seems to have a meaning and be  real.
Tx:26.49  its workings. It is in this world, but not a part of it. For it is  real and dwells where all reality must be. Ideas leave not their
Tx:26.52  goes beyond correction to impossibility. Yet the belief that it is  real has made some errors seem forever past the hope of healing and
Tx:26.52  If this were so, would Heaven be opposed by its own opposite, as  real as it. Then would God's Will be split in two and all creation be
Tx:26.59  Here is the firm conviction that ideas can leave their source made  real and meaningful. And from this error does the world of sin and
Tx:27.7  is the motivation for this world. Its only purpose is to prove guilt  real. No worldly thought or act or feeling has a motivation other
Tx:27.7  destroyed is what you love. Depression speaks of death and vanity of  real concern with anything at all. The strongest witness to futility,
Tx:27.9  sins, but witnesses unto the strange belief that sin and death are  real, and innocence and sin will end alike within the termination of
Tx:27.14  they overlook. Yet no one can forgive a sin which he believes is  real. And what has consequences must be real because what it has done
Tx:27.14  a sin which he believes is real. And what has consequences must be  real because what it has done is there to see. Forgiveness is not
Tx:27.16 Forgiveness is not  real unless it brings a healing to your brother and yourself. You
Tx:27.16  attest his sins had no effect on you to demonstrate they were not  real. How else could he be guiltless? And how could his innocence be
Tx:27.32  home. No preparation can be made that would enhance the invitation's  real appeal. For what you leave as vacant, God will fill, and where
Tx:27.39  takes, its purpose is the same. It asks but to establish sin is  real and answers in the form of preference. “Which sin do you prefer?
Tx:27.50  of all the differences you see convinces you that they could not be  real.
Tx:27.54 Pain demonstrates the body must be  real. It is a loud, obscuring voice whose shrieks would silence what
Tx:27.54  is the same as pleasure, for they both are means to make the body  real. What shares a common purpose is the same. This is the law of
Tx:27.56  the witnesses to its reality. You cannot choose among them which are  real, for any one you choose is like the rest. This name or that, but
Tx:27.57  names which speak in other ways for its reality. He knows it is not  real. For nothing could contain what you believe it holds within. Nor
Tx:27.57  no death. Each miracle He brings is witness that the body is not  real. Its pains and pleasures does He heal alike, for all sin's
Tx:27.68  does not see the part he plays in making them and making them seem  real.

Tx:30.53  that you have been deceived. Attack has power to make illusions  real. Yet what it makes is nothing. Who could be made fearful by a
Tx:30.53  is nothing. Who could be made fearful by a power that can have no  real effects at all? What could it be but an illusion, making things
Tx:30.53  do not threaten him at all. His one mistake is that he thinks them  real. What can the power of illusions do?
Tx:30.57 The  real world is the state of mind in which the only purpose of the
Tx:30.60  how this can be, for understanding this is Heaven itself. Even the  real world has a purpose still beneath creation and eternity. But
Tx:30.61 The  real world still falls short of this, for this is God's own purpose—
Tx:30.61 —only His, and yet completely shared and perfectly fulfilled. The  real world is a state in which the mind has learned how easily do
Tx:30.62 Thus is the  real world's purpose gently brought into awareness, to replace the
Tx:30.63  purpose in the world of fear, they stand already at the edge of the  real world. Perhaps they still look back and think they see an idol
Tx:30.70  here escape from fear begins and will be made complete. Here is the  real world given in exchange for dreams of terror. For it is on this
Tx:30.71  sure foundation. You do not forgive the unforgivable nor overlook a  real attack that calls for punishment. Salvation does not lie in
Tx:30.71  asked to make unnatural responses which are inappropriate to what is  real. Instead, it merely asks that you respond appropriately to what

Tx:30.72 This understanding is the only change that lets the  real world rise to take the place of dreams of terror. Fear cannot
Tx:30.72  Fear cannot arise unless attack is justified, and if it had a  real foundation, pardon would have none. The real world is achieved
Tx:30.72  and if it had a real foundation, pardon would have none. The  real world is achieved when you perceive the basis of forgiveness is
Tx:30.72  is achieved when you perceive the basis of forgiveness is quite  real and fully justified. While you regard it as a gift unwarranted,
Tx:30.73  And recognizing God is just, it seems impossible His pardon could be  real. Thus is the fear of God the sure result of seeing pardon as
Tx:30.75  to let all idols go. And thus you think that some appearances are  real and not appearances at all. Be not deceived about the meaning of
Tx:30.76  or it cannot heal. Its purpose cannot be to judge which forms are  real and which appearances are true. If one appearance must remain
Tx:30.80  that guilt has not succeeded by your wish to make illusions  real. And what is this except a simple statement of the truth?
Tx:30.89  deceived. For everything you see will change, and yet you thought it  real before, and now you think it real again. Reality is thus reduced
Tx:30.89  change, and yet you thought it real before, and now you think it  real again. Reality is thus reduced to form and capable of change.
Tx:30.89  capable of change. Reality is changeless. It is this that makes it  real and keeps it separate from all appearances. It must transcend
Tx:30.90  it can so easily be changed. This demonstrates that it was never  real and could not stem from his reality. For that is changeless and
Tx:30.91 What is temptation but a wish to make illusions  real? It does not seem to be the wish that no reality be so. Yet it
Tx:31.5  that It could be opposed, and that a will apart from It was yet more  real than It. And this has learning sought to demonstrate, and you
Tx:31.27  you did not believe they could not be forgiven in you? Why are they  real in him if you did not believe that they are your reality? And
Tx:31.34  Real choice is no illusion. But the world has none to offer. All its
Tx:31.37  away from all the roadways of the world unless he understood their  real futility? Is it not needful that he should begin with this, to
Tx:31.38  what its form may be, is the beginning of acceptance that there is a  real alternative instead. To fight against this step is to defeat
Tx:31.40 There is a choice which you have power to make when you have seen the  real alternatives. Until that point is reached, you have no choice,
Tx:31.49  the world. But they cannot be used to demonstrate the world is  real. For all of them are made within the world, born in its shadow,
Tx:31.62  the Spirit. There is no compromise between the two. If one is  real the other must be false, for what is real denies its opposite.
Tx:31.62  between the two. If one is real the other must be false, for what is  real denies its opposite. There is no choice in vision but this one.
Tx:31.62  one. What you decide in this determines all you see and think is  real and hold as true. On this one choice does all your world depend,
Tx:31.81  to choose against? Consider what temptation is, and see the  real alternatives you choose between. There are but two. Be not
Tx:31.86  strength of Christ in you. And what you choose is what you think is  real. Simply by never using weakness to direct your actions, you have
Tx:31.87  from you. His holiness is yours because He is the only power that is  real in you. His strength is yours because He is the Self that God

W1:20.5  and you will. What you desire, you will see. Such is the  real law of cause and effect as it operates in the world.
W1:22.2  you want to escape. Is it not joyous news to hear that it is not  real? Is it not a happy discovery to find that you can escape? You

W1:26.1  you can be attacked, you are not invulnerable. You see attack as a  real threat. That is because you believe that you can really attack.

W1:30.4  Real vision is not limited to concepts such as “near” and “far.” To

W1:43.3  because whatever you think, you think with His Mind. If vision is  real, and it is real to the extent to which it shares the Holy
W1:43.3  you think, you think with His Mind. If vision is real, and it is  real to the extent to which it shares the Holy Spirit's purpose, then
W1:45.1 Today's idea holds the key to what your  real thoughts are. They are nothing that you think you think, just as
W1:45.1  to vision in any way. There is no relationship between what is  real and what you think is real. Nothing that you think are your real
W1:45.1  There is no relationship between what is real and what you think is  real. Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resembles your

W1:45.3 Where, then, are your  real thoughts? Today we will attempt to reach them. We will have to

W1:45.7 My  real thoughts are in my mind. I would like to find them.
W1:47.4 Today we will try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of  real strength. Four five-minute practice periods are necessary today,

W1:47.8  the practice period, try to reach down into your mind to a place of  real safety. You will recognize that you have reached it if you feel
W1:49.4  Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your  real thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God. Sink deep into
W1:49.4  insane world. You do not live there. We are trying to reach your  real home. We are trying to reach the place where you are truly

W1:55.6  that I believe the world is for. Therefore I do not recognize its  real purpose. The purpose I have given the world has led to a
W1:55.6  has led to a frightening picture of it. Let me open my mind to its  real purpose by withdrawing the one I have given it, and learning the
W1:56.2  the world I see. But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own  real thoughts will teach me what it is.

W1:74.10  but God's. I share it with Him. My conflicts about _____ cannot be  real.
W1:75.4  only this. Our single purpose makes our goal inevitable. Today the  real world rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is
W1:75.15  as we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of the  real world which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought
W1:75.15  world which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was  real.
W1:77.6  There is no room for doubt and uncertainty today. We are asking a  real question at last. The answer is a simple statement of a simple

W1:96.4  no attempt to reconcile the two, for one denies the other can be  real. If you are physical, your mind is gone from your self-concept,
W1:96.7  could it serve? What is it for? Salvation cannot make illusions  real and solve a problem that does not exist. Perhaps you hope it
W1:96.14 These are your own  real thoughts you have denied, and let your mind go wandering in a
W1:99.3  where both of them exist? The mind that sees illusions thinks them  real. They have existence in that they are thoughts. And yet they are

W1:99.4  the never done is overlooked and sins forgotten which were never  real?
W1:99.5  Yet it operates in time because of your belief that time is  real. Unshaken does the Holy Spirit look on what you see—on sin and

W1:101.1  you believe that sin is real and that God's Son can sin. If sin is  real, then punishment is just and cannot be escaped. Salvation thus
W1:101.2 If sin is  real then happiness must be illusion, for they cannot both be true.
W1:101.3 If sin is  real, salvation must be pain. Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering
W1:101.3  is the cost of sin, and suffering can never be escaped if sin is  real. Salvation must be feared, for it will kill but slowly, taking
W1:101.4  him? Why would he try to listen and accept Its offering? If sin is  real, its offering is death and meted out in cruel form to match the
W1:101.4  form to match the vicious wishes in which sin is born. If sin is  real, salvation has become your bitter enemy, the curse of God upon
W1:101.5 You need the practice periods today. The exercises teach sin is not  real, and all that you believe must come from sin will never happen,
W1:101.9  heavy load you laid upon yourself with the insane belief that sin is  real.
W1:103.2  become the heritage of minds that think what they have made is  real. These images, with no reality in truth, bear witness to the
W1:110.2 If you remain as God created you, fear has no meaning, evil is not  real, and misery and death do not exist. Today's idea is therefore
W1:121.4  damnation? What can it behold except the proof that all its sins are  real? The unforgiving mind sees no mistakes, but only sins. It looks
W1:123.2  now to gratitude will add the benefit of some insight into the  real extent of all the gains which you have made; the gifts you have

W1:133.3 There are no satisfactions in the world. Today we list the  real criteria by which to test all things you think you want. Unless

W1:134.4 Because you think your sins are  real, you look on pardon as deception. For it is impossible to think

W1:140.14  no illusion can disturb our minds nor offer proof to us that it is  real. This will we learn today. And we will say our prayer for

Tx:8.96  of safety. Yet you cannot be safe from truth but only in it.  Reality is the only safety. Your will is your salvation because it is
Tx:8.99  there are no unbelievers and no sacrifices. In the security of  reality, fear is totally meaningless. To deny what is can only seem
Tx:8.103  and if they are strong, they will induce panic. Willing against  reality, though impossible, can be made into a very persistent goal,
Tx:8.104  are devoted to. Otherwise, you would not have been created perfect.  Reality is everything, and therefore you have everything because you
Tx:8.104  you are real. You cannot make the unreal, because the absence of  reality is fearful, and fear cannot be created. As long as you
Tx:8.104  that fear is possible, you will not create. Opposing orders of  reality make reality meaningless, and reality is meaning.

Tx:8.104  not create. Opposing orders of reality make reality meaningless, and  reality is meaning.
Tx:8.105  and nothing else will ever be. This is the simple acceptance of  reality, because only this is real. You cannot distort reality and

Tx:9.18  hope is to change his mind about reality. Only if the decision that  reality is fearful is wrong can God be right. And I assure you that

Tx:9.36  you still need healing, your miracles are the only witnesses to your  reality which you can recognize. You cannot perform a miracle for

Tx:9.44  it, its foundation does stand. The Holy Spirit judges against the  reality of the ego's thought system merely because He knows its
Tx:9.51  grandeur establishes your freedom. Even the faintest hint of your  reality literally drives the ego from your mind because of complete
Tx:9.51  it is real, it is compellingly convincing. Yet the conviction of  reality will not remain with you unless you do not allow the ego to

Tx:9.66  dreams, or would you dismiss both together if you discovered that  reality is in accord with neither? You do not remember being awake.
Tx:9.69 Yet to give up the dissociation of  reality brings more than merely lack of fear. In this decision lie
Tx:9.69  part of Him when you are willing to remember Him and know your own  reality again. Let nothing in this world delay your remembering of
Tx:9.71  teaching yourself that you are not what you are. Your denial of  reality precludes the acceptance of God's gift, because you have
Tx:9.72  when you attack, you must have forgotten what you are. And if your  reality is God's, when you attack you are not remembering Him. This
Tx:9.73  is perfectly clear if you will look at it. By deciding against your  reality, you have made yourself vigilant against God and His Kingdom.
Tx:9.74 You have not attacked God, and you do love Him. Can you change your  reality? No one can will to destroy himself. When you think you are
Tx:9.82  the eternal. If God has but one Son, there is but one God. You share  reality with Him, because reality is not divided. To accept other
Tx:9.82  one Son, there is but one God. You share reality with Him, because  reality is not divided. To accept other gods before Him is to place
Tx:9.84  Although it is perfectly clear that this has nothing to do with  reality, it is equally clear that it has everything to do with
Tx:9.84  with reality, it is equally clear that it has everything to do with  reality as you perceive it.
Tx:9.86  Reality can dawn only on an unclouded mind. It is always there to be
Tx:9.86  but its acceptance depends on your willingness to have it. To know  reality must involve the willingness to judge unreality for what it
Tx:9.89  automatically look beyond it to what is in you and all around you.  Reality cannot break through the obstructions you interpose, but it
Tx:9.90  is. No false gods you attempt to interpose between yourself and your  reality affect truth at all. Peace is yours because God created you.
Tx:9.104  Son perfect, that is how you must learn to see him to learn of his  reality. And as part of the Sonship, that is how you must see
Tx:10.5  he is. In whatever part of the Mind of God's Son you restore this  reality, you restore it to yourself. For you dwell in the Mind of God
Tx:10.7  It continues forever, however much it is denied. Your denial of its  reality arrests it in time but not in eternity. That is why your
Tx:10.17  you become. If you have denied truth, what better witnesses to its  reality could you have than those who have been healed by it? But be
Tx:10.22  whether you invite it in or not. Real freedom depends on welcoming  reality, and of your guests, only He is real. Know, then, who abides
Tx:10.40  already that its effects can be dispelled merely by denying their  reality. The next step is obviously to recognize that what has no
Tx:10.40  operate in a vacuum, and what leads to nothing has not happened. If  reality is recognized by its extension, what extends to nothing
Tx:10.46  goal of autonomy is nothing else. The ego is totally confused about  reality, but it does not lose sight of its goal. It is much more

Tx:10.58  him. Everyone convinces you of what you want to perceive and of the  reality of the kingdom you have chosen for your vigilance. Everything
Tx:10.66  still lies heavy on your eyes, but what you see in dreams is not  reality. While you perceive the Son of God as crucified, you are
Tx:10.70  Those which his mind perceived in this world are the world's only  reality. They are still perceptions because he still believes that he
Tx:10.71  something that is not real to the real, thus confusing illusion and  reality. For perceptions cannot be partly true. If you believe in
Tx:10.73  perceive only this is salvation because it is the recognition that  reality is only what is true.
Tx:10.74  that a course which, in the end, teaches nothing more than that only  reality is true is necessary. But do you believe it? When you have
Tx:10.81  what is yours is everything, and you share it with God. This is its  reality. Would the Holy Spirit, Who wills only to restore, be capable
Tx:10.84  be deceived in your brother and see only his loving thoughts as his  reality, for by denying that his mind is split, you will heal yours.
Tx:10.85  in the presence of God's answer? Ask, then, to learn of the  reality of your brother because this is what you will perceive in
Tx:10.88  perceive and are willing to let their interpretations go in favor of  reality, their fear goes with them. When a child is helped to
Tx:10.89 Ask what they are of the Teacher of  Reality, and hearing His answer, you too will laugh at your fears and
Tx:10.89  at your fears and replace them with peace. For fear lies not in  reality, but in the minds of children who do not understand reality.
Tx:10.89  not in reality, but in the minds of children who do not understand  reality. It is only their lack of understanding which frightens them,
Tx:10.89  will ask for truth again when they are frightened. It is not the  reality of your brothers or your Father or yourself which frightens
Tx:10.89  you perceive them as ghosts and monsters and dragons. Ask of their  reality from the One who knows it, and He will tell you what they
Tx:10.89  them, and because you are deceived by what you see, you need  reality to dispel your fears.
Tx:11.3  him anything else, and you are assuming the right to attack his  reality by interpreting it as you see fit.
Tx:11.4  react to something else, and your response will be inappropriate to  reality as it is but not to your perception of it. This is poor
Tx:11.4  to reality as it is but not to your perception of it. This is poor  reality testing by definition. There is nothing to prevent you from
Tx:11.4  only this that makes you willing to engage in endless “battles” with  reality in which you deny the reality of the need for healing by
Tx:11.4  to engage in endless “battles” with reality in which you deny the  reality of the need for healing by making it unreal. You would not do
Tx:11.4  You would not do this except for your unwillingness to perceive  reality, which you withhold from yourself.
Tx:11.7  then, is God's plan for salvation. There is but one response to  reality, for reality evokes no conflict at all. There is but one
Tx:11.7  God's plan for salvation. There is but one response to reality, for  reality evokes no conflict at all. There is but one Teacher of
Tx:11.7  for reality evokes no conflict at all. There is but one Teacher of  reality, Who understands what it is. He does not change His Mind
Tx:11.7  Who understands what it is. He does not change His Mind about  reality because reality does not change. Although your

Tx:11.7  because reality does not change. Although your interpretations of  reality are meaningless in your divided state, His remain
Tx:11.9  fear, having recognized it, you would have taken a step away from  reality, not towards it. Yet we have repeatedly emphasized the need
Tx:11.13 If you would look upon love, which is the world's  reality, how could you do better than to recognize in every defense
Tx:11.13  the underlying appeal for it? And how could you better learn of its  reality than by answering the appeal for it by giving it? The Holy
Tx:11.18  you are afraid of. Only the anticipation will frighten you, for the  reality of nothingness cannot be frightening. Let us not delay this,
Tx:11.30 If only the loving thoughts of God's Son are the world's  reality, the real world must be in his mind. His insane thoughts,
Tx:11.30  is intolerable. Therefore the mind projects the split, not the  reality. Everything you perceive as the outside world is merely your
Tx:11.32  Son. God does love the real world, and those who perceive its  reality cannot see the world of death. For death is not of the real
Tx:11.36  keep. For the ego pursues its goal with fanatic insistence, and its  reality testing, though severely impaired, is completely consistent.
Tx:11.53  cost to you is enormous. For this investment costs you the world's  reality by denying yours and gives you nothing in return. You cannot
Tx:11.55  whatever part of it you look upon with love. This gives it the only  reality it will ever have. Its value is not in itself, but yours is
Tx:11.57  real world, and by this he will learn to reinvest in himself. For  reality is one with the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit
Tx:11.63  do is clearly not of this world, for miracles violate every law of  reality as this world judges it. Every law of time and space, of
Tx:11.69  for opposition are true, for they attest only to your decision about  reality, returning to you the message you gave them. Love is
Tx:11.70  You can decide to see it right. What you made of it is not its  reality, for its reality is only what you gave it. You cannot really
Tx:11.70  to see it right. What you made of it is not its reality, for its  reality is only what you gave it. You cannot really give anything but
Tx:11.71  within and are afraid of what you saw. Yet you could not have seen  reality, for the reality of your mind is the loveliest of God's
Tx:11.71  afraid of what you saw. Yet you could not have seen reality, for the  reality of your mind is the loveliest of God's creations. Coming only
Tx:11.79  is visible and what is invisible than it is up to you to decide what  reality is. What can be seen is what the Holy Spirit sees. The
Tx:11.79  is. What can be seen is what the Holy Spirit sees. The definition of  reality is God's, not yours. He created it, and He knows what it is.
Tx:11.81  to remember and that has relinquished the insane desire to control  reality. You who cannot even control yourselves should hardly aspire
Tx:11.83  you who share God's Being with Him could never be content without  reality. What God did not give you has no power over you, and the
Tx:11.84  you see. But take it from the hand of Christ and look upon it. Its  reality will make everything else invisible, for beholding it is
Tx:11.84  corrected, it gives place to knowledge, which is forever the only  reality. The Atonement is but the way back to what was never lost.
Tx:12.18  he is. Only his love is real, and he will be content only with his  reality.
Tx:12.24  are ideas which you made up, and you are bent on demonstrating their  reality to establish yours. If their reality is questioned, you
Tx:12.24  are bent on demonstrating their reality to establish yours. If their  reality is questioned, you believe that yours is. For you believe
Tx:12.24  you believe that yours is. For you believe that attack is your  reality and that your destruction is the final proof that you were
Tx:12.27  you meet now from a past reference point, obscuring their present  reality. In effect, if you follow the ego's dictates, you will react
Tx:12.30  approximation of eternity which this world offers. It is in the  reality of now, without past or future, that the beginning of the
Tx:12.35  yourself first, for what you attack is not in others. Its only  reality is in your own mind, and by attacking others, you are
Tx:12.36  appears to be without. Yet what is within they do not see, for the  reality of their brothers they cannot see.
Tx:12.38  are. You communicate with no one, and you are as isolated from  reality as if you were alone in all the universe. In your madness,
Tx:12.38  if you were alone in all the universe. In your madness, you overlook  reality completely, and you see only your own split mind everywhere
Tx:12.40  you will draw them to yourself, perceiving them as witnesses to your  reality, which you share with God. I am with them as I am with you,
Tx:12.45 To perceive truly is to be aware of all  reality through the awareness of your own. But for this no illusions
Tx:12.45  own. But for this no illusions can rise to meet your sight, for all  reality leaves no room for any error. This means that you perceive a
Tx:12.45  that you perceive a brother only as you see him now. His past has no  reality in the present, and you cannot see it. Your past reactions to
Tx:12.45  as you look upon your brother, you will be unable to perceive the  reality that is now.
Tx:12.46  see it as a dark cloud that shrouds your brothers and conceals their  reality from your sight.
Tx:12.48  and then believe that this is how it is, for to believe that  reality is what you would have it be according to your use for it is
Tx:12.63  false. And what he judges false he does not see. You who would judge  reality cannot see it, for whenever judgment enters, reality has
Tx:12.63  who would judge reality cannot see it, for whenever judgment enters,  reality has slipped away. The out of mind is out of sight because
Tx:12.66  thing is always yours, being the gift of God unto His Son. Your one  reality was given you, and by it God created you as one with Him.
Tx:13.3  be interrupted. The separation is merely a faulty formulation of  reality with no effect at all. The miracle, without a function in
Tx:13.3  miracle, without a function in Heaven, is needful here. Aspects of  reality can still be seen, and they will replace aspects of
Tx:13.3  be seen, and they will replace aspects of unreality. Aspects of  reality can be seen in everything and everywhere. Yet only God can
Tx:13.4  looks on everything with love. Yet even Christ's vision is not His  reality. The golden aspects of reality which spring to light under
Tx:13.4  Yet even Christ's vision is not His reality. The golden aspects of  reality which spring to light under His loving gaze are partial
Tx:13.6  as they were offered unto Him. There is one miracle, as there is one  reality. And every miracle you do contains them all, as every aspect
Tx:13.6  And every miracle you do contains them all, as every aspect of  reality you see blends quietly into the One Reality of God. The only
Tx:13.6  all, as every aspect of reality you see blends quietly into the One  Reality of God. The only miracle that ever was is God's most holy
Tx:13.6  miracle that ever was is God's most holy Son, created in the One  Reality that is his Father. Christ's vision is His gift to you. His
Tx:13.7  offered the Son of God through the Holy Spirit attune you to  reality. The Holy Spirit knows your part in the redemption and who
Tx:13.10  you do not share His witness to it. Nor do you witness unto Him, for  reality is witnessed to as one. God waits your witness to His Son and
Tx:13.25  insane and has no reason. The Holy Spirit seeks not to dispel  reality. If guilt were real, Atonement would not be. The purpose of
Tx:13.26  He has saved you from. What He has saved you from is gone. Give no  reality to guilt, and see no reason for it. The Holy Spirit does what
Tx:13.79  lead you out of insanity. Madness may be your choice, but not your  reality. Never forget the love of God, Who has remembered you. For it
Tx:14.2 Your task is not to make  reality. It is here without your making, but not without you. You who
Tx:14.3  what you have made, you are remembering nothing. Remembrance of  reality is in Him and therefore in you.
Tx:14.5 The only part of your mind that has  reality is the part which links you still with God. Would you have
Tx:14.26  Uncertainty brought to certainty does not retain any conviction of  reality.
Tx:14.27  their separation seems to keep them both alive and equal in their  reality. Their joining thus becomes the source of fear, for if they
Tx:14.35  Unite with what you are. You cannot join with anything except  reality. God's glory and His Son's belong to you in truth. They have
Tx:14.39  because it is not true. Different realities are meaningless, for  reality must be one. It cannot change with time or mood or chance.
Tx:14.39  it real. This cannot be undone. Undoing is for unreality. And this  reality will do for you.
Tx:14.47 In Heaven  reality is shared and not reflected. By sharing its reflection here,
Tx:14.47  on him, and he can no longer be satisfied with anything but his own  reality. You on earth have no conception of limitlessness, for the
Tx:15.46  is to deny the oneness of the Father and his Son and thus to attack  reality.
Tx:15.47 You cannot love parts of  reality and understand what love means. If you would love unlike to
Tx:15.51  it prefers different parts of another aspect. Thus does it assemble  reality to its own capricious liking, offering for your seeking a
Tx:15.51  or earth that it resembles, and so however much you seek for its  reality, you cannot find it because it is not real.
Tx:15.62  that has not always been. Only the veil that has been drawn across  reality is lifted. Nothing has changed. Yet the awareness of
Tx:15.91  instant. [For you would place no limits on your union with Him.] The  reality of this relationship becomes the only truth that you could
Tx:15.105 As long as you perceive the body as your  reality, so long will you perceive yourself as lonely and deprived.
Tx:15.105  this yourselves when the basis of your attempts is the belief in the  reality of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds attack, being the
Tx:16.13  on your behalf. It is impossible to convince you of the  reality of what has clearly been accomplished through your
Tx:16.15 How can faith in  reality be yours while you are bent on making it unreal? And are you
Tx:16.15  do not turn away from all the witnesses that He has given you to His  reality.
Tx:16.18  to accept the joyful tidings that disaster is not real and that  reality is not disaster.
Tx:16.19  Reality is safe and sure and wholly kind to everyone and everything.
Tx:16.31  war to peace. For the illusion of love will never satisfy, but its  reality, which awaits you on the other side, will give you everything.
Tx:16.35  peace will never come from the illusion of love, but only from its  reality.
Tx:16.51  in strict accordance with the ego's goals, is to destroy  reality and substitute illusion. For the ego is itself an illusion,
Tx:16.58  confronted you and also the only one. You will cross the bridge into  reality simply because you will recognize that God is on the other
Tx:16.64  itself is nothing more than a transition in your perspective of  reality. On this side, everything you see is grossly distorted and
Tx:16.65 Fear not that you will be abruptly lifted up and hurled into  reality. Time is kind, and if you use it for reality, it will keep
Tx:16.65  up and hurled into reality. Time is kind, and if you use it for  reality, it will keep gentle pace with you in your transition. The
Tx:16.66  that really knows what you are. You have allowed the Thought of your  reality to enter your minds, and because you invited it, it will
Tx:16.77  is truly given and will be truly received. For God's gifts have no  reality apart from your receiving them. Your receiving completes His
Tx:16.78 There is nothing you can hold against  reality. All that must be forgiven are the illusions you have held
Tx:16.78  are the illusions you have held against your brothers. Their  reality has no past, and only illusions can be forgiven. God holds
Tx:16.80  with Him is to accept relationships as real and through their  reality to give over all illusions for the reality of your
Tx:16.80  as real and through their reality to give over all illusions for the  reality of your relationship with God. Praise be to your relationship
Tx:17.1  only in illusions, and all his “sins” are but his own imagining. His  reality is forever sinless. He need not be forgiven, but awakened. In
Tx:17.1  is so, for dreams are what they are because of their illusion of  reality. Only in waking is the full release from them, for only then
Tx:17.1  then does it become perfectly apparent that they had no effect on  reality at all and did not change it. Fantasies change reality. That
Tx:17.1  no effect on reality at all and did not change it. Fantasies change  reality. That is their purpose. They cannot do so in reality, but
Tx:17.1  change reality. That is their purpose. They cannot do so in  reality, but they can do so in the mind that would have reality
Tx:17.1  do so in reality, but they can do so in the mind that would have  reality different.
Tx:17.2 It is, then, only your wish to change  reality that is fearful, because by your wish you think you have
Tx:17.3  that heals all pain arises from your wish to retain some aspects of  reality for fantasy. If you but realized what this must do to your
Tx:17.3  Unless you give it back, it is inevitable that your perspective on  reality be warped and uncorrected.
Tx:17.4  in miracles remain with you. For you have established this order in  reality by giving some of it to one teacher and some to another. And
Tx:17.4  truth is to destroy it by rendering it meaningless. Orders of  reality is a perspective without understanding, a frame of reference
Tx:17.4  is a perspective without understanding, a frame of reference for  reality to which it cannot really be compared at all.
Tx:17.5  Reserve not one idea aside from truth, or you establish orders of  reality which must imprison you. There is no order in reality because
Tx:17.5  orders of reality which must imprison you. There is no order in  reality because everything there is true.
Tx:17.14  For the shadow figures you would make immortal are “enemies” of  reality. Be willing to forgive the Son of God for what he did not do.
Tx:17.18  which have been dreamed of but have not been made at all. Where no  reality has entered, there is nothing to intrude upon the dream of
Tx:17.18  upon the dream of happiness. Yet consider what this means—the more  reality that enters into the unholy relationship, the less satisfying
Tx:17.19 The “ideal” of the unholy relationship thus becomes one in which the  reality of the other does not enter at all to “spoil” the dream. And
Tx:17.19  into relationships whose only purpose is separation from  reality? What forgiveness is enables Him to do so.
Tx:17.20  with now. This continuity extends the present by increasing its  reality and its value in your perception of it. In these loving
Tx:17.24  truth the past could ever offer to the present as witnesses for its  reality, while what is kept but witnesses to the reality of dreams.
Tx:17.24  witnesses for its reality, while what is kept but witnesses to the  reality of dreams.
Tx:17.25  the other go. Which one you choose you will endow with beauty and  reality because the choice depends on which you value more. The spark
Tx:17.26  Let my relationship to you be real to you, and let me bring  reality to your perception of your brothers. They were not created to
Tx:17.41  As you look on this, you realize that it is not a picture but a  reality. This is no figured representation of a thought system, but
Tx:17.42  is His. It shines in every part of Him as in the whole. The whole  reality of your relationship with Him lies in our relationship to one
Tx:17.67  Your faith must grow to meet the goal that has been set. The goal's  reality will call this forth, for you will see that peace and faith
Tx:17.69  go hand in hand, so must its faith go everywhere with it. The goal's  reality will call forth and accomplish every miracle needed for its
Tx:17.76  continuous means for establishing His purpose and demonstrating its  reality. What has been demonstrated has called for faith and has been
Tx:17.77  strain of refusing to give faith to truth and see its evident  reality.
Tx:18.5 You have expressed surprise at hearing how very different is  reality from what you see. You do not realize the magnitude of that
Tx:18.6  Invest it not with guilt, for guilt implies it was accomplished in  reality. And above all, be not afraid of it. When you seem to see
Tx:18.9  substituted, and sharing and substituting have nothing in common in  reality. Within yourselves you love each other with a perfect love.
Tx:18.9  no separation, and no substitute can keep you from each other. Your  reality was God's creation and has no substitute.
Tx:18.10  peace and gratitude and accept His gift as our most holy and perfect  reality, which we share in Him.
Tx:18.15  You do not take them seriously on awaking because the fact that  reality is so outrageously violated in them becomes apparent. Yet
Tx:18.15  provide striking examples both of the ego's inability to tolerate  reality and your willingness to change reality on its behalf.
Tx:18.15  ego's inability to tolerate reality and your willingness to change  reality on its behalf.
Tx:18.17  by the illusion of terror. For the dream of your ability to control  reality by substituting a world which you prefer is terrifying. Your
Tx:18.17  a world which you prefer is terrifying. Your attempts to blot out  reality are very fearful, but this you are not willing to accept. And
Tx:18.17  are not willing to accept. And so you substitute the fantasy that  reality is fearful, not what you would do to it. And thus is guilt
Tx:18.19  is all. Their content is the same. They are your protest against  reality and your fixed and insane idea that you can change it. In
Tx:18.23  in the Will of God. The dream of waking is easily transferred to its  reality. For this dream comes from your will joined with the Will of
Tx:18.24 You who have spent your lives in bringing truth to illusion,  reality to fantasy, have walked the way of dreams. For you have gone
Tx:18.40  happened. And that is why the past has gone. It never happened in  reality. Only in your minds, which thought it did, is its undoing
Tx:18.57  Son be separated from himself except in illusions. This is not his  reality, though he believes it is. Yet this could only be if God were
Tx:18.57  had to create different things and to establish different orders of  reality, only some of which were love. Yet love must be forever like
Tx:18.59  it. You have escaped from fear to peace, asking no questions of  reality but merely accepting it. You have accepted this instead of
Tx:18.89  act as it directs as long as you believe that guilt is real. For the  reality of guilt is the illusion which seems to make it heavy and
Tx:19.6  it is sought through the body, thought of as a means for seeking out  reality through attack, while the other part would heal and therefore
Tx:19.6  and not the mind. For this divided goal has given both an equal  reality, which could be possible only if the mind is limited to the
Tx:19.18  arrogance which the idea of error lacks. To sin would be to violate  reality and to succeed. Sin is the proclamation that attack is real
Tx:19.19  cannot sin. There is nothing he can do that would really change his  reality in any way nor make him really guilty. That is what sin would
Tx:19.20  is perceived as holiness. And it is this doctrine which replaces the  reality of the Son of God as his Father created him and willed that
Tx:19.23  be and what he is. To the ego, this is no mistake. For this is its  reality; this is the “truth” from which escape will always be
Tx:19.32 While you believe that your  reality or your brother's is bounded by a body, you will believe in
Tx:19.52  savage messengers into the world to feast upon it and to prey upon  reality. For they will bring you word of bones and skin and flesh.
Tx:20.16  therefore a distortion and calls upon defenses to uphold it against  reality. Knowledge requires no adjustment and in fact is lost if any
Tx:20.49  protected, yet hiding nothing. Here the unholy relationship escapes  reality and seeks for crumbs to keep itself alive. Here it would drag
Tx:20.52  and bodies made to house the mad idea and give it the illusion of  reality. And so it seemed to have a home that held together for a
Tx:20.52  in time and vanished. For what could house this mad idea against  reality but for an instant?
Tx:20.54  reflects the true relationship the Son of God has with his Father in  reality. The Holy Spirit rests within it in the certainty it will
Tx:20.63  is here that the illusions you hold about him are not held up to his  reality. Here are illusions and reality kept separated. Here are
Tx:20.63  about him are not held up to his reality. Here are illusions and  reality kept separated. Here are illusions never brought to truth and
Tx:20.63  and always hidden from it. And here in darkness is your brother's  reality imagined as a body, in unholy relationships with other
Tx:20.65  see the body because it cannot look on sin. And thus it leads you to  reality. Your holy brother, sight of whom is your release, is no
Tx:20.75  projected from within, adjusts to sin and seems to witness to its  reality. It still is true that nothing is without. Yet upon nothing
Tx:20.76  awareness. They step away from sin, reminding you that it is not  reality which frightens you and that the errors which you made can be
Tx:21.22  This other will, which seems to tell you what must happen, you gave  reality. And what would show you otherwise must therefore seem
Tx:21.24  seem real and possible. Faith in the unreal leads to adjustments of  reality to make it fit the goal of madness. The goal of sin induces
Tx:21.24  to justify its purpose. What you desire you will see. And if its  reality is false, you will uphold it by not realizing all the
Tx:21.28  and as one. See what “proves” otherwise, and you deny your whole  reality. But grant that everything which seems to stand between you,
Tx:21.29  relationships have sin as their goal. For they are bargains with  reality, toward which the seeming union is adjusted. Forget not this
Tx:21.49  in what you are. Perception is a witness but to this and never to  reality. Yet it can show you the conditions in which awareness of
Tx:21.49  to reality. Yet it can show you the conditions in which awareness of  reality is possible or those where it could never be.
Tx:21.50  Reality needs no cooperation from you to be itself. But your
Tx:21.50  be your faith. But never believe because it is your faith it makes  reality.
Tx:21.69 The power that you have over the Son of God is not a threat to his  reality. It but attests to it. Where could his freedom lie but in
Tx:22.3  Therefore, he looks on nothing he would take. He denies not his own  reality, because it is the truth. Just under Heaven does he stand,
Tx:22.35  deceive. You can change form because it is not true. It could not be  reality, because it can be changed. Reason will tell you that, if
Tx:22.35  because it can be changed. Reason will tell you that, if form is not  reality, it must be an illusion and is not there to see. And if you
Tx:22.45  in any way. Merely by letting reason tell you that they contradict  reality. They go against what must be true. The opposition comes from
Tx:22.45  go against what must be true. The opposition comes from them and not  reality. Reality opposes nothing. What merely is needs no defense and
Tx:22.45  what must be true. The opposition comes from them and not reality.  Reality opposes nothing. What merely is needs no defense and offers
Tx:22.62  so because the universe is one. You would not choose attack on its  reality if it were not essential to attack to see it [separate from
Tx:23.12  they remain part of what made them. Madness holds out no menace to  reality and has no influence upon it. Illusions cannot triumph over
Tx:23.12  triumph over truth, nor can they threaten it in any way. And the  reality which they deny is not a part of them.
Tx:23.14  for it is the birth of fear. Yet what is born of nothing cannot win  reality through battle. Why would you fill your world with conflicts
Tx:23.24 Here is a principle which would define what the Creator of  reality must be; what He must think and what He must believe; and how
Tx:23.38  form. And lack of faith in love in any form attests to chaos as  reality.
Tx:24.3  that you can choose for love. Your choosing it has given it all the  reality it seems to have.

Tx:24.5  in specialness. This takes many forms but always clashes with the  reality of God's creation and with the grandeur which He gave His
Tx:24.5  and not the same. And difference of any kind imposes orders of  reality and a need to judge that cannot be escaped.
Tx:24.32  awaken them, and they curse God because He did not make their dream  reality. Curse God and die, but not by Him Who made not death, but
Tx:24.38  is false proclaims his sins as real. If he is sinful, then is your  reality not real but just a dream of specialness which lasts an
Tx:24.39  Only this is certain in this shifting world which has no meaning in  reality: when peace is not with you entirely and when you suffer pain
Tx:24.50  a Son without a Father. There could be no universe and no  reality. For what God wills is whole and part of Him because His Will
Tx:24.67  it what it is for you. It has no meaning of itself, yet you can give  reality to it according to the purpose which you serve. Here you are
Tx:24.70  with which you listened to the sounds it makes. It proves its own  reality to you.
Tx:24.71  so does the body testify to the idea that made it and speak for its  reality and truth.
Tx:24.72  And what you see will serve that purpose well and prove its own  reality to you.
Tx:26.6 You can lose sight of oneness, but can not make sacrifice of its  reality. Nor can you lose what you would sacrifice nor keep the Holy

Tx:27.70  life or death, waking or sleeping, peace or war, your dreams or your  reality? Yet if the choice is really given you, then you must see the

Tx:9.61  being in God, you encompass everything. Believe this, and you will  realize how much is up to you. When anything threatens your peace of
Tx:9.71  always constitutes an attack on truth and truth is God, you will  realize why this is always fearful. If you further recognize that you
Tx:9.83 You do not  realize how much you listen to your gods and how vigilant you are on
Tx:9.93  afraid of blasphemy, but they do not know what it means. They do not  realize that to deny God is to deny their own identity, and in this
Tx:9.102 You do not  realize how much you have denied yourself, and how much God in His
Tx:10.1  If you will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, you will  realize that this must be true. Neither God nor the ego proposes a
Tx:10.12 Yet what you will you do not know. This is not strange when you  realize that to deny is to “not know.” God's Will is that you are His
Tx:10.34  a strong tendency to harbor it within. It is difficult at first to  realize that this is exactly the same thing, for there is no
Tx:10.39  because together we have the lamp that will dispel it, and since you  realize you do not want it, you must be ready. Let us be very calm in
Tx:10.47  must learn to recognize is that the last thing the ego wishes you to  realize is that you are afraid of it. For if the ego gives rise to
Tx:10.47  listen to it at all. How, then, can its existence continue if you  realize that, by accepting it, you are belittling yourself and
Tx:10.74  will be translated into knowledge will leave you only an instant to  realize that this judgment is true.
Tx:10.80  is both many and one, as long as you believe that the one is many.  Realize that you are afraid of His specificity for fear of what you
Tx:11.29  self-love for self-hate, making him afraid of himself. He does not  realize this. Even if he is fully aware of anxiety, he does not
Tx:11.29  outside himself, for this is crucial to his adjustment. He does not  realize that he makes this world, for there is no world outside of
Tx:11.31  you would have to perceive it this way. That is why you must  realize that your hatred is in your mind and not outside it before
Tx:11.37  to deny the ego's existence, and you will surely do so when you  realize exactly what the journey is on which the ego sets you.
Tx:11.39 Do you  realize that the ego must set you on a journey which cannot but lead
Tx:11.44  Therefore, by attacking you have not done anything. Once you  realize this, there is no longer any sense in attack, for it
Tx:11.45 You will never  realize the utter uselessness of attack except by recognizing that
Tx:11.50  against learning and succeed, for that is your will. But you do not  realize even yet that there is something you do will to learn, and
Tx:11.64  but you can see His manifestations. And unless you do, you will not  realize He is there. Miracles are His witnesses and speak for His
Tx:11.76  yield to the desire for death, remember that I did not die. You will  realize that this is true when you look within and see me. Would I
Tx:11.86  those made mad by guilt. Look carefully at this world, and you will  realize that this is so. For this world is the symbol of punishment,
Tx:11.88  world is a picture of the crucifixion of God's Son. And until you  realize that God's Son cannot be crucified, this is the world you
Tx:11.88  be crucified, this is the world you will see. Yet you will not  realize this until you accept the eternal fact that God's Son is not
Tx:11.94 When you have accepted the Atonement for yourselves, you will  realize that there is no guilt in God's Son. And only as you look
Tx:11.95 As you perceive the holy companions who travel with you, you will  realize that there is no journey, but only an awakening. The Son of
Tx:12.2  by seeing him as guilty. Believing you are no longer you, you do not  realize that you are failing yourself.
Tx:12.7  not learning the course, you are protecting yourself. And you do not  realize that it is only your guiltlessness which can protect you.
Tx:12.10  may wonder why it is so crucial that you look upon your hatred and  realize its full extent. You may also think that it would be easy
Tx:12.10  interposed between yourself and the Atonement, which you do not yet  realize. We have said that no one will countenance fear if he
Tx:12.12  protected it because you do not want the separation healed, and you  realize that, by removing the dark cloud that obscures it, your love
Tx:13.7  individual concern. You, who are part of it and all of it, need only  realize that it is of the Father, not of you. Your role in the
Tx:13.27  loved him not and looked upon him as condemned. The moment that you  realize guilt is insane, wholly unjustified, and wholly without
Tx:13.35  surely end his peace of mind and so destroy him. Yet if he could but  realize the war is between forces that are real and unreal powers, he
Tx:13.40  a difference of any kind. For you will need no contrast to help you  realize that this is what you want, and only this. Fear not the Holy
Tx:13.49  without direction. You will perceive the need for this if you will  realize that to deny is the decision not to know. The logic of the
Tx:13.54  that unless you learn it, you will not be happy. You do not  realize that the foundation on which this most peculiar learning goal

Tx:14.27  to the desirable; what you do not want to what you do. You will  realize that salvation must come to you this way if you consider what
Tx:14.44 Could you but  realize for a single instant the power of healing that the reflection
Tx:14.73  because you have abandoned the Teacher of Peace. Whenever you fully  realize that you know not, peace will return, for you will have
Tx:15.19 You do not  realize how much you have misused your brothers by seeing them as
Tx:15.23 Yet what you do not  realize each time you choose is that your choice is your evaluation
Tx:15.24  will seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when you  realize that it is true and constitutes a tribute to your power. You
Tx:15.73  your awareness of it. For what the ego really wants, you do not  realize.
Tx:15.104  your brothers from yourself. Through peace you invite them back and  realize that they are where your invitation bids them be. What you
Tx:15.107  means of communication. And if you understand this lesson, you will  realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice nothing, and
Tx:16.30  to you. The extent of the split that lies in this you do not  realize. And until you do, the split will remain unrecognized and
Tx:16.43 In looking at the special relationship, it is necessary first to  realize that it involves a great amount of pain. Anxiety, despair,
Tx:16.44  be a weapon, but if you consider how you value it and why, you will  realize what it must be. The special love relationship is the ego's
Tx:16.63  sight that you will see no need at all to magnify it. For you will  realize that the only value which the body has is to enable you to
Tx:16.65  illusions. Delay will hurt you now more than before only because you  realize it is delay and that escape from pain is really possible.
Tx:17.16  Your own experience has taught you this. But what you do not  realize are all the reasons which go to make the relationship unholy.
Tx:17.23  can change your mind about it for you. But first be sure you fully  realize what you have made the past to represent and why.
Tx:17.31  is very anxious to preserve its reason as it sees it. It does not  realize that it is totally insane. And you must realize just what
Tx:17.31  sees it. It does not realize that it is totally insane. And you must  realize just what this means if you would be restored to sanity. The
Tx:17.33 It is essential to  realize that all defenses do what they would defend. The underlying
Tx:17.35  on the hypnotic gleaming of the frame. Look at the picture, and  realize that death is offered you.
Tx:17.37  set in a frame of time. If you focus on the picture, you will  realize that it was only the frame that made you think it was a
Tx:17.41  into what lies beyond the picture. As you look on this, you  realize that it is not a picture but a reality. This is no figured
Tx:17.54  a condition in which you cannot use it. As a result, you do not  realize that it is with you still. And by cutting yourself off from
Tx:17.57  He provides for any situation, but remember that you do not yet  realize their universal application. Therefore it is essential at
Tx:17.76  of refusing faith to truth is enormous and far greater than you  realize. But to answer truth with faith entails no strain at all.
Tx:17.78  responsible to him. Fail him not now, for it has been given you to  realize what your lack of faith in him must mean to you. His
Tx:18.5  hearing how very different is reality from what you see. You do not  realize the magnitude of that one error. It was so vast and so
Tx:18.16  as if the world were given you, to make it what you will. You do not  realize that you are attacking it, trying to triumph over it and make
Tx:18.18  outside. You do not respond to it as though you made it, nor do you  realize that the emotions which the dream produces must come from
Tx:18.18  the dream and what they do that seem to make the dream. You do not  realize that you are making them act out for you, for if you did, the
Tx:18.26  it and terribly afraid of its judgment upon you. And you do not  realize that you are not afraid of love, but only of what you have
Tx:18.32  is not necessary that you do more; indeed, it is necessary that you  realize that you cannot do more. Do not attempt to give the Holy
Tx:18.39  give so little to receive so much.] And it is very hard for you to  realize that it is not personally insulting that your contribution
Tx:18.44  is an undertaking impossible for you to understand. You do not even  realize you have accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose as your own, and
Tx:18.50  of your Identity. And you have done a stranger thing than you yet  realize. You have displaced your guilt to your bodies from your
Tx:18.59  will consider what this “transportation” really entails, you will  realize that it is a sudden unawareness of the body and a joining of
Tx:18.78  scorched and joyless, which makes up your little kingdom. And  realize the life and joy which love would bring to it from where it
Tx:19.5 It cannot be difficult to  realize that faith must be the opposite of faithlessness. Yet the
Tx:19.14  as it was made again through faith. And there it is that you will  realize that there is nothing faith cannot forgive. No error
Tx:19.29  from the spiral is misperceived, but as you approach the line, you  realize that it was not affected by the drop into another plane at
Tx:19.33  uprooted in its smile of love. You see it still because you do not  realize that its foundation has gone. Its source has been removed,
Tx:19.76 It is not given to the ego's disciples to  realize that they have dedicated themselves to death. Freedom is
Tx:19.95  not to desert, all rise and bid you not to raise your eyes. For you  realize that if you look on this and let the veil be lifted, they
Tx:19.99  seems to make no sense. How can you know that it is over unless you  realize its purpose is accomplished? Here, with the journey's end
Tx:20.50  would have not be is here kept “safe” from Him. But what you do not  realize is what you fear within your brother and would not see in him
Tx:21.38  sacrifice has given it great power in your sight, except you do not  realize you cannot see because of it. For sacrifice must be exacted
Tx:21.49  and not a fact. But on this choice depends far more than you may  realize as yet. For on the voice you choose to hear and on the sights
Tx:21.52 You do not  realize the whole extent to which the idea of separation has
Tx:21.56  on reason's absence. The ego never uses it because it does not  realize that it exists. The partially insane have access to it, and
Tx:22.6  And long and hard you tried to understand its messages. You did not  realize it is impossible to understand what fails entirely to reach
Tx:22.40  stands between you. Either alone will see it as a solid block, nor  realize how thin the drapery that separates you now. Yet it is almost
Tx:22.64  burden on you. For when you have accepted it with gladness, you will  realize that your relationship is a reflection of the union of the
Tx:23.5  the weak about him? Who can walk trembling in a fearful world and  realize that Heaven's glory shines on him?
Tx:23.7  to be victorious. Why else would you identify with it? Surely you  realize the ego is at war with God. Certain it is it has no enemy.
Tx:23.8 Do you not  realize a war against yourself would be a war on God? Is victory
Tx:23.31  The means of madness must be insane. Are you as certain that you  realize the goal is madness?
Tx:23.47  not asked to fight against your wish to murder. But you are asked to  realize the form it takes conceals the same intent. And it is this
Tx:23.50  raised above the battleground, in it no more. This is your part—to  realize that murder in any form is not your will. The overlooking of
Tx:23.51  but the clash of forms is meaningless. And it is over when you  realize it never was begun. How can a battle be perceived as
Tx:24.41  dream believes that what he made is happening to him. He does not  realize he picked a thread from here, a scrap from there, and wove a

Tx:25.13  but fear and guilt been your reward. How long is needed for you to  realize the chance of change in this respect is hardly worth delaying
Tx:25.51  What wish can rise against His Will and be immutable? If you could  realize nothing is changeless but the Will of God, this course would
Tx:26.85 What then remains to be undone for you to  realize Their Presence? Only this—you have a differential view of
Tx:27.2  the sign that he has lost his innocence and need but look on you to  realize that he has been condemned. And what to you has been unfair
Tx:28.4  that memory holds only what is past that it is hard for you to  realize it is a skill that can remember now. The limitations on
Tx:29.10  or any loss, to find yourself in Heaven and in God? Until you  realize you give up nothing, until you understand there is no loss,
Tx:30.11  recognize that something has occurred which is not part of it. Then  realize that you have asked a question by yourself and must have set
Tx:30.14  day by robbing you of what you really want. This can be very hard to  realize when once you have decided by yourself the rules which
Tx:31.26  is here delay of happiness is shortened by a span of time you cannot  realize. You never hate your brother for his sins, but only for your
Tx:31.50  follow this world's laws and never seek to go beyond its roads nor  realize the way you see yourself. Now must the Holy Spirit find a way
W1:3.2  to see things exactly as they appear to you now, and to  realize how little you really understand about them. It is therefore
W1:23.9  of identifying the cause of the world you see. When you finally  realize that thoughts of attack and of being attacked are not
W1:24.1 In no situation which arises do you  realize the outcome that would make you happy. Therefore you have no
W1:24.4  should be on uncovering the outcome you want. You will quickly  realize that you have a number of goals in mind as part of the
W1:30.3  or so, repeat it to yourself slowly, looking about you and trying to  realize that the idea applies to everything you do see now or could
W1:42.7  own thoughts contain. Let them come without censoring unless you  realize your mind is merely wandering and you have let obviously
W1:45.11  place you are trying to reach. You will probably be unable as yet to  realize how high you are trying to go. Yet even with the little
W1:56.3  to see. Recognizing that what I see reflects what I think I am, I  realize that vision is my greatest need. The world I see attests to
W1:57.5  instead of this. When I see the world as a place of freedom, I will  realize that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules which I
W1:66.13  all illusions. All truth stands on the other. Let us try today to  realize that only the truth is true.
W1:67.2 We will make every effort today to reach this truth about you and to  realize fully, if only for a moment, that it is the truth. In the
W1:67.8 Try to  realize in the shorter practice periods that this is not your tiny
W1:68.2 Perhaps you do not yet fully  realize just what holding grievances does to your awareness. It seems
W1:70.1  guilt nor salvation as in your own mind and nowhere else. When you  realize that all guilt is solely an invention of your mind, you must
W1:70.1  that all guilt is solely an invention of your mind, you must also  realize that guilt and salvation must be in the same place.
W1:71.1 You may not  realize that the ego has set up a plan for salvation in opposition to
W1:71.1  we have considered just what the ego's plan is, perhaps you will  realize that, however preposterous it may be, you do believe it.
W1:75.9  Realize that your forgiveness entitles you to vision. Understand that
W1:76.1  not bound by them. Yet to understand that this is so, you must first  realize salvation lies not there. While you would seek for it in
W1:76.6  except the laws of God. This needs repeating over and over until you  realize that it applies to everything that you have made in
W1:76.7  that this is so. It is no longer a truth which we would hide. We  realize instead it is a truth which keeps us free forever. Magic
W1:76.11 Hear Him Who tells you this, and  realize how foolish are the laws you thought upheld the world you
W1:79.7  different kinds of problems that we think we have. We will try to  realize that we have only one problem, which we have failed to
W1:R2.3  not allow your intent to waver in the face of distracting thoughts.  Realize that, whatever form such thoughts may take, they have no
W1:90.2 [79] Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved. Let me  realize today that the problem is always some form of grievance which
W1:90.5  as simultaneous in their occurrence. That is because I do not yet  realize that God has placed the answer together with the problem, so
W1:91.4  however little they may be, have strong support. Did you but  realize how great this strength, your doubts would vanish. Today we
W1:95.1  change in you impossible. You do not accept this and you fail to  realize it must be so, only because you believe that you have changed
W1:100.8 Begin the exercises with the thought today's idea contains. Then  realize your part is to be happy. Only this is asked of you or anyone
W1:102.2 Today we try to loose its weakened hold still further. And to  realize that pain is purposeless, without a cause, and with no power
W1:123.1  we can well be grateful for our gains, which are far greater than we  realize.
W1:123.7  and offer yours to Him for 15 minutes twice today. And you will  realize to Whom you offer thanks, and Whom He thanks as you are
W1:126.9  your mind from every bar to what forgiveness means and let you  realize its worth to you.
W1:129.10  A day of grace is given you today, and we give thanks. This day we  realize that what you feared to lose was only loss.
W1:131.16  A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause before you  realize the world you see before you in the light reflects the truth
W1:132.19 You need not  realize that healing comes to many brothers far across the world as
W1:133.12  goals to come between the real alternatives, and thus you do not  realize there are but two. And the alternative you think you chose
W1:134.17  cross your mind. Be certain not to dwell on any one of them, but  realize that you are using his “offenses” but to save the world from
W1:135.15  plans are but defenses with the purpose all of them were made to  realize. They are the means by which a frightened mind would
W1:135.15  its own protection at the cost of truth. This is not difficult to  realize in some forms which these self-deceptions take, for the
W1:135.22  of this today. We make no plans for how it will be done but  realize that our defenselessness is all that is required for the
W1:136.20 Perhaps you do not  realize that this removes the limits you had placed upon the body by
W1:137.10  healed along with you. Perhaps you will not recognize them all, nor  realize how great your offering to all the world when you let healing
W1:140.9  which nothing is exempt. We will succeed to the extent to which we  realize that there can never be a meaningful distinction made between
W1:153.5 You do not  realize what you have done to sabotage the holy peace of God by your
W1:153.11  choose as they have done. God has elected all, but few have come to  realize His Will is but their own. And while you fail to teach what
W1:154.15 The world recedes as we light up our minds and  realize these holy words are true. They are the message sent to us
W1:166.4  the world he made is he an outcast, homeless and afraid. He does not  realize that it is here he is afraid indeed and homeless too—an
W1:166.4 —an outcast wandering so far from home, so long away, he does not  realize he has forgotten where he came from, where he goes, and even
W1:166.6  when you see that he is following the way he chose and needs but  realize Who walks with him and open up his treasures to be free?
W1:184.13  the word. But first you must accept One Name for all reality, and  realize the many names you gave its aspects have distorted what you
W1:190.10 This is the day when it is given you to  realize the lesson which contains all of salvation's power. It is
W1:192.9  made free. The way is simple. Every time you feel a stab of anger,  realize you hold a sword above your head. And it will fall or be
W1:196.1  body slave to vengeance. You will not attack yourself, and you will  realize that to attack another is but to attack yourself. You will be
W1:196.10  your mind so wholly that escape appears quite hopeless. When you  realize once and for all that it is you you fear, the mind perceives
W1:197.5  and what belongs to God must be His own. Yet you will never  realize His gifts are sure, eternal, changeless, limitless, forever
W2:228.2 Father, I was mistaken in myself because I failed to  realize the Source from Which I came. I have not left that Source to
W2:282.1 If I could  realize but this today, salvation would be reached for all the world.

M:4.14  to learn. Nor can God's Teacher be heard at all except by those who  realize that harm can actually achieve nothing. No gain can come of
M:5.8  those who do not understand what healing is. These patients do not  realize they have chosen sickness. On the contrary, they believe that
M:10.2  No more does “bad.” It is necessary for the teacher of God to  realize not that he should not judge, but that he cannot. In giving

Tx:13.47  and have seen its logical conclusions. And having seen them, we have  realized that they cannot be seen but in illusions, for there alone

Tx:23.21  that some of them are harder to overcome than others. If it were  realized that they are all the same and equally untrue, it would be

Tx:28.19  as well. But for this change in content of the dream, it must be  realized that it is you who dreamed the dreaming that you do not

Tx:6.30 How else can you find joy in a joyless place except by  realizing that you are not there? You cannot be anywhere that God did

Tx:13.59  lets it shine on you. And as it shines, your brothers see it, and  realizing that this light is not what you have made, they see in you
Tx:17.32 You have but little difficulty now in  realizing that the thought system which the special relationship
Tx:18.83 You have reached the end of an ancient journey, not  realizing yet that it is over. You are still worn and tired and the

Tx:1.32  Doing them will bring conviction in the ability, since conviction  really comes through accomplishment. The ability is the potential;
Tx:1.42  should inspire gratitude, not awe. Man should thank God for what he  really is. The Children of God are very holy, and the miracle honors
Tx:1.43  and brings it into the light where it belongs. Holiness can never be  really hidden in darkness, but man can deceive himself about it. This

Tx:2.53  the Atonement plan is to undo error at all levels. Illness, which is  really “not-right-mindedness,” is the result of level confusion in
Tx:2.60  much greater fear that the mind can hurt itself. Neither error is  really meaningful, because the miscreations of the mind do not really
Tx:2.60  is really meaningful, because the miscreations of the mind do not  really exist. This recognition is a far better protective device than
Tx:2.61  perfect and therefore does not require correction. The body does not  really exist except as a learning device for the mind. This learning

Tx:3.16  very sure that you recognize how utterly impossible this assumption  really is and how entirely it arises from misprojection. This kind of
Tx:3.23  of whether the body or the mind can see (or understand). This is not  really open to question at all. The body is not capable of
Tx:3.23  exactly what the body is. This is what “a sane mind in a sane body”  really means. It does not confuse destruction with innocence because
Tx:3.26  experienced some light and some [of everything]. This makes everyone  really unable to deny truth totally, even if he generally deceives

Tx:4.10  doubts the reality of his dream while he is still dreaming is not  really healing the level-split. You have dreamed of a separated ego,
Tx:4.32  is a decision of the ego, which is completely confused about what is  really possible. This accounts for its erratic nature.

Tx:4.53  single unequivocal call. Watch carefully and see what it is you are  really asking for. Be very honest with yourself about this, for we
Tx:4.53  about this, for we must hide nothing from each other. If you will  really try to do this, you have taken the first step toward preparing
Tx:4.63  themselves and to me, but only the ego can be disheartened. Have you  really considered how many opportunities you have to gladden
Tx:4.71  the mind becomes actually dazed. Being told by the ego that it is  really part of the body and that the body is its protector, the mind
Tx:4.81  it has a sensible answer. You must be careful, however, that you  really understand the question. What is the “you” who are living in

Tx:5.56  Spirit does not let you forsake your brothers. Therefore, you can  really share only the parts of your thoughts which are of Him and
Tx:5.60  of the ego's belief in it. This is the belief from which all guilt  really stems.

Tx:6.21  they have described my reactions to Judas as they did if they had  really understood me. They would have realized I could not have said,
Tx:6.49  is perhaps the strangest perception of all if you consider what it  really involves. The ego, which is not real, attempts to persuade the
Tx:6.79  equated. It is, however, more advanced than the first step, which is  really only a thought reversal. The second step is a positive
Tx:7.22  because that would defeat its purpose. Therefore, it does not  really learn at all. The Holy Spirit teaches you to use what the ego
Tx:7.26  it is clearly impossible. It is therefore a lesson which you cannot  really learn, and therefore cannot really teach. Yet you are always
Tx:7.26  a lesson which you cannot really learn, and therefore cannot  really teach. Yet you are always teaching. You must therefore be
Tx:7.29  what is not true, you are accepting conflict as your choice. Is it  really a choice? It seems to be, but seeming and reality are hardly
Tx:7.49 If you see only the changeless in him, you have not  really changed him at all. By changing your mind about his for him,
Tx:7.62  Aware of its weakness, the ego wants your allegiance, but not as you  really are. The ego therefore wants to engage your mind in its own
Tx:7.85  Any attempt to keep part of it and get rid of another part does not  really mean anything. Remember that a conflicted teacher is a poor
Tx:7.98  which is total confusion about everything. Yet you do not  really believe this, or you could not possibly maintain it. If you
Tx:7.98  really believe this, or you could not possibly maintain it. If you  really saw this result, you could not want it. The only reason why
Tx:7.99  is surely clear that you can both accept into your mind what is not  really there and deny what is. Neither of these possibilities
Tx:7.105  optional, since it is what you are. Sharing His Will with me is not  really open to choice, though it may seem to be. The whole separation
Tx:8.22  has made of you. This is your responsibility, because once you have  really done this, you will accept the Atonement for yourself. What
Tx:8.64  and gives it over entirely to the One Light in Which it can be  really understood at all. To confuse a learning device with a
Tx:8.90  split, making it possible for the mind to be afraid of what it  really is. It is apparent that reality cannot “threaten” anything
Tx:8.90  is why the ego is against you. What seems to be the fear of God is  really only the fear of your own reality.
Tx:8.96  because you are afraid you might receive it, and you would. That is  really why you persist in asking the teacher who could not possibly
Tx:8.97  is alone, and the martyr believes that God is crucifying him. Both  really fear abandonment and retaliation, but the atheist is more
Tx:8.103  was never created. If it was never created, it is nothing. Can you  really devote yourself to nothing?
Tx:8.108  suppose, then, that what you request of the Holy Spirit is what you  really want, but you are still afraid of it. Should this be the case,
Tx:8.108  fearful to him than its physical expression. In this case he is not  really asking for release from fear but for the removal of a symptom
Tx:9.16  teacher of salvation. Yet this question, ridiculous as it seems, is  really the crucial issue in the whole separation fantasy. Anyone who
Tx:9.20  he is more likely to start with the equally incredible idea that he  really believes in attack and so does the patient, but it does not
Tx:9.41  you do not understand how lofty the Holy Spirit's perception of you  really is. He is not deceived by anything you do, because He never
Tx:9.65  possible that you merely shifted from one dream to another, without  really wakening?
Tx:9.78  worship? Is this the image you would be vigilant to save? [Are you  really afraid of losing this?] Look calmly at the logical conclusion
Tx:9.78  of the ego's thought system and judge whether its offering is  really what you want, for this is what it offers you. To obtain this
Tx:9.82  then, you may believe you are afraid of nothingness, but you are  really afraid of nothing. And in that awareness you are healed. You
Tx:9.93  as all forms of denial replace what is with what is not. No one can  really do this, but that you can think you can and believe you have
Tx:10.2 Yet what would you say to someone who  really believed this question involves conflict? If you made the ego,
Tx:10.6  I and my Father are one with you, for you are part of us. Do you  really believe that part of God can be missing or lost to Him?
Tx:10.48  shallow, callous, uninvolved, and even desperate, but not  really afraid. Minimizing fear but not its undoing is the ego's
Tx:11.1  motives of others is hazardous to you. If you decide that someone is  really trying to attack you or desert you or enslave you, you will
Tx:11.10  you that fear is an appeal for help. This is what recognizing it  really means. If you do not protect it, He will reinterpret it. That
Tx:11.16  recognize in hatred the call for love. And to give a brother what he  really wants is to offer it unto yourself, for your Father wills you
Tx:11.22  not by denying its full import in any way—this is what you will  really see. You cannot lay aside the obstacle to real vision without
Tx:11.31  why you must get rid of it before you can perceive the world as it  really is.
Tx:11.32  your split mind, and which is the symbol of death. For if you could  really separate yourselves from the Mind of God, you would die, and
Tx:11.70  its reality, for its reality is only what you gave it. You cannot  really give anything but love to anyone or anything, nor can you
Tx:11.70  really give anything but love to anyone or anything, nor can you  really receive anything else from them. If you think you have
Tx:11.71  from God, its power and grandeur could only bring you peace if you  really looked upon it. If you are afraid, it is because you saw
Tx:11.77 Do you  really believe that you can kill the Son of God? The Father has
Tx:12.10  fear. You do not like it, but it is not your desire to attack which  really frightens you. You are not seriously disturbed by your
Tx:12.11  dark foundation is the memory of God, and it is of this that you are  really afraid. For this memory would instantly restore you to your
Tx:12.12  intense and burning love of God, and His for you. This is what you  really want to hide.
Tx:12.45  of him. In your questioning of illusions, ask yourself if it is  really sane to perceive what was now. If you remember the past as you
Tx:12.61 You do not  really want the world you see, for it has disappointed you since time
Tx:12.69  and render you unwilling to question the value that this world can  really hold for you.
Tx:12.72  a foolish journey that would lead away from light, remember what you  really want and say,
Tx:13.23  as a means to “solve” the past and still to see them as they  really are? Salvation is not found by those who use their brothers to
Tx:14.52  form, and nothing else. For you do not respond to what a brother  really offers you, but only to the particular perception of his
Tx:14.73  cannot know unless the effects of understanding are with them can  really learn at all. And for this, it must be peace they want and
Tx:15.66  This is not its statement, but it is its purpose. For the ego  really believes that it can get and keep by making guilty. This is
Tx:15.70  it would much prefer to attack directly and avoid delaying what it  really wants. Yet the ego acknowledges “reality” as it sees it and
Tx:15.73  the ego's altar far exceeds your awareness of it. For what the ego  really wants, you do not realize.
Tx:16.14  are unwilling to believe that what has happened is true. But can you  really believe that all that has happened, even though you do not
Tx:16.15  reality be yours while you are bent on making it unreal? And are you  really safer in maintaining the unreality of what has happened than
Tx:16.20  in peace. Have faith in what has faith in you. Think what you have  really seen and heard and recognize it. Can you be alone with
Tx:16.24  What can it be that has not learned it? It must be this that is  really outside yourself, not by your own projection, but in truth.
Tx:16.24  taken in that is not you. What you accept into your minds does not  really change them. Illusions are but beliefs in what is not there.
Tx:16.43  We have spoken of this before, but there are some aspects of what is  really being attempted that we have not touched upon.
Tx:16.65  only because you realize it is delay and that escape from pain is  really possible. Find hope and comfort rather than despair in this:
Tx:16.66 Nothing you seek to strengthen in the special relationship is  really part of you. And you cannot keep part of the thought system
Tx:16.66  system which taught you it was real and understand the Thought that  really knows what you are. You have allowed the Thought of your
Tx:16.71  the blame for deprivation on it, for the past is gone. You cannot  really not let go what has already gone. It must be, therefore, that
Tx:17.1  his brothers, and his God. Yet what is done in dreams has not been  really done. It is impossible to convince the dreamer that this is
Tx:17.4  understanding, a frame of reference for reality to which it cannot  really be compared at all.
Tx:17.15  ego holy in your sight and teach you what you do to keep it safe is  really love.
Tx:17.17  what can be most readily associated with those on whom vengeance is  really sought are centered on and separated off as being the only
Tx:17.19  does not enter at all to “spoil” the dream. And the less the other  really brings to it, the “better” it becomes. Thus, the attempt at
Tx:17.38  it is the picture that is the gift. And only on this basis are you  really free to choose. Look at the pictures. Both of them. One is a
Tx:17.50  satisfaction and thought you found it. Forget not now the misery you  really found, and do not now breathe life into your failing egos. For
Tx:17.71  you hold against the other what he has done to you. But what you  really blame him for is what you did to him. It is not his past but
Tx:18.6  idea of loss is meaningless and only increase is conceivable. Do you  really think it strange that a world in which everything is backwards
Tx:18.30  Let not time worry you, for all the fear that you experience is  really past. Time has been readjusted to help us do together what
Tx:18.59 If you will consider what this “transportation”  really entails, you will realize that it is a sudden unawareness of
Tx:18.59  it. And both become whole as neither is perceived as separate. What  really happens is that you have given up the illusion of a limited
Tx:18.61  not limit you merely because you would not have it so. You are not  really “lifted out” of it; it cannot contain you. You go where you
Tx:18.64 You have made much progress and are  really trying to make still more, but there is one thing you have
Tx:18.86  It is extremely simple, being based on what this little kingdom  really is. The barren sands, the darkness and the lifelessness are
Tx:19.19  himself. But he cannot sin. There is nothing he can do that would  really change his reality in any way nor make him really guilty. That
Tx:19.19  can do that would really change his reality in any way nor make him  really guilty. That is what sin would do, for such is its purpose.
Tx:19.26 The ego does not think it possible that love, not fear, is  really called upon by sin and always answers. For the ego brings sin
Tx:19.26  guilt's protection, for what is deserving punishment must have been  really done. Punishment is always the great preserver of sin,
Tx:19.27  that it was an error but keeping it uncorrectable. This is not  really a change in your perception, for it is sin that calls for
Tx:19.61 Is it a sacrifice or a release? What has the body  really given you that justifies your strange belief that in it lies
Tx:19.71  be understood, for it is one the ego sees as proof of sin. It is not  really punitive at all. It is but the inevitable result of equating
Tx:19.77  die unless he chooses death. What seems to be the fear of death is  really its attraction. Guilt, too, is feared and fearful. Yet it
Tx:20.20 Have you not wondered what the world is  really like; how it would look through happy eyes? The world you see
Tx:20.53  aside the body and quietly transcend it, rising to welcome what you  really want. And from His holy temple, look you not back on what you
Tx:20.56  to you than its unholy seeming counterpart, and you have learned you  really want but one. This is no time for sadness. Perhaps confusion,
Tx:20.63  body has laid a judgment on him and sees him not. He does not  really see him as sinful; he does not see him at all. In the darkness
Tx:20.66  not be, “How can I see my brother without the body?” Ask only, “Do I  really wish to see him sinless?” And as you ask, forget not that his
Tx:20.73  What if you recognized this world is an hallucination? What if you  really understood you made it up? What if you realized that those who
Tx:21.3  forget the world the sightless “see” must be imagined, for what it  really looks like is unknown to them. They must infer what could be
Tx:21.23  to leave your altars free of what you placed upon them, and what is  really there you cannot fail to see. The holy instant is not an
Tx:21.88  will never fail to answer. God has already given him all that he  really wants. Yet what he is uncertain of, God cannot give. For he
Tx:21.89  help you be but partially insane. And yet it is the final one that  really asks if you are willing to be wholly sane.
Tx:22.18  can be sure indeed that any seeming happiness that does not last is  really fear. Joy does not turn to sorrow, for the eternal cannot
Tx:24.15  are and would defend your specialness against the truth of what you  really are, how can you know the truth? What answer that the Holy

Tx:25.9  both the Father and the Son, He knows the Will of God and what you  really will. But this is understood by mind perceived as one, aware
Tx:25.28  love. He will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are  really calls to peace. He will perceive that where he gave attack is
Tx:25.48  values are not yours. [And nothing that you think you see in it is  really there at all.] And this is seen and understood as each one
Tx:25.51  there is nothing else you could believe if you but looked at what it  really is.
Tx:25.58  and more desired as it proves to him that it is an alternative he  really wants. From this position does his sinfulness and all the sin
Tx:25.75  experience within the world, which is but shadows of all that is  really happening within yourself. The understanding which you need
Tx:25.76  not because you are a miserable sinner too. How can the special  really understand that justice is the same for everyone? To take from
Tx:26.23  one understands what is the same and seems to choose where no choice  really is. The real world is the area of choice made real, not in the
Tx:26.27  Who could behold the face of Christ and not recall His Father as He  really is? Who could fear love and stand upon the ground where sin
Tx:26.36  since gone by? How real a hindrance can this dream be to where he  really is? For this is fact and does not change whatever dreams he
Tx:26.37  his own delusions about time and place affect a change in where he  really is? The unforgiven is a voice that calls out from a past
Tx:26.37  be made real again and seen as here and now in place of what is  really now and here. Is this a hindrance to the truth the past is

Tx:27.52 Leave, then, the transfer of your learning to the One Who  really understands its laws and Who will guarantee that they remain
Tx:27.53  all the witnesses that you behold will be far less than all there  really are. Infinity cannot be understood by merely counting up its

Tx:27.70  peace or war, your dreams or your reality? Yet if the choice is  really given you, then you must see the causes of the things you
Tx:27.81  the world remembers his attack upon himself. No one believes there  really was a time when he knew nothing of a body and could never have
Tx:28.57  the little bit of mind you call your own and all the rest of what is  really yours. You hate it, yet you think it is your self and that
Tx:29.15  be in constant change. Yet what is that except the state confusion  really means? Stability to those who are confused is meaningless, and
Tx:29.17  lies the idea of sickness. For it asks that God be less than all He  really is. What, then, becomes of you, for it is you of whom the

W1:3.2  exactly as they appear to you now, and to realize how little you  really understand about them. It is therefore essential that you keep
W1:7.8  why you need new ideas about time. This first time idea is not  really so strange as it may sound at first. Look at a cup, for
W1:7.9  idea what this cup is except for your past learning. Do you, then,  really see it?
W1:8.1 This idea is, of course, the reason why you see only the past. No one  really sees anything. He sees only his thoughts projected outward.
W1:8.2  The mind is actually blank when it does this because it is not  really thinking about anything.
W1:8.3  for today is to begin to train your mind to recognize when it is not  really thinking at all. While thoughtless “ideas” preoccupy your
W1:9.1  not with understanding. You do not need to practice what you  really understand. It would indeed be circular to aim at
W1:10.3  another way of repeating our earlier statement that your mind is  really a blank. To recognize this is to recognize nothingness when
W1:13.1 Today's idea is  really another form of the preceding one, except that it is more
W1:13.8  Whatever form such resistance may take, remind yourself that you are  really afraid of such a thought because of the “vengeance” of the
W1:14.2  unless you find them comfortable. If you do, it will be because you  really understand what they are for.
W1:16.3  equally unreal. We will practice this idea in many forms before you  really understand it.
W1:17.1  another step in the direction of identifying cause and effect as it  really operates. You see no neutral things because you have no
W1:17.1  that comes first, despite the temptation to believe that it is  really the other way around. This is not the way the world thinks,
W1:17.8  Regardless of what you may believe, you do not see anything which is  really alive and really joyous. That is because you are unaware as
W1:17.8  you may believe, you do not see anything which is really alive and  really joyous. That is because you are unaware as yet of any thoughts
W1:17.8  That is because you are unaware as yet of any thoughts which are  really true and therefore really happy.
W1:17.8  unaware as yet of any thoughts which are really true and therefore  really happy.
W1:19.1  the order does not actually matter. Thinking and its results are  really simultaneous, for cause and effect are never separate.

W1:21.3  anger escape you in the practice periods. Remember that you do not  really recognize what arouses anger in you, and nothing that you
W1:22.6 Is this the world I  really want to see?
W1:25.3  interests. Since you have no personal interests, your goals are  really concerned with nothing. In cherishing them, therefore, you
W1:26.1  attack as a real threat. That is because you believe that you can  really attack. And what would have effects through you must also have
W1:27.1  about using the idea on the ground that you are not sure you  really mean it. This does not matter. The purpose of today's
W1:28.1 Today we are  really giving specific application to the idea for yesterday. In
W1:28.2  “in itself” mean? You see a lot of separate things about you, which  really means you are not seeing at all. You either see or not. When
W1:28.6  as a subject for applying the idea for today, you are therefore  really asking to see the purpose of the universe. You will be making
W1:35.3  it establishes your Identity, and it describes you as you must  really be in truth. We will use a somewhat different kind of
W1:40.2  You can practice quite well under almost any circumstance, if you  really want to.
W1:49.2  the Voice of God is calm, always at rest, and wholly certain. It is  really the only part there is. The other part is a wild illusion,
W1:52.6  rather join the thinking of the universe than to obscure all that is  really mine with my pitiful and meaningless “private” thoughts?
W1:53.5  home? Let me remember the power of my decision and recognize where I  really abide.
W1:57.4  world as a prison for God's Son. It must be, then, that the world is  really a place where he can be set free. I would look upon the world
W1:64.5  time you choose whether or not to fulfill your function, you are  really choosing whether to be happy or not. Let us remember this
W1:64.6  all the decisions you will make today by remembering that they are  really very simple. Each one will lead to happiness or unhappiness.
W1:64.6  will lead to happiness or unhappiness. Can such a simple decision  really be difficult to make? Let not the form of the decision deceive
W1:65.2  period in which you try to understand and accept what today's idea  really means. It offers you escape from all your perceived
W1:65.11  your conflicts once and for all, and the extent to which you  really want salvation in spite of your own foolish ideas to the
W1:66.1  your function and achieving happiness. This is because you do not  really see the connection. Yet there is more than just a connection
W1:66.10  your function to you, it must be the gift of the ego. Does the ego  really have gifts to give, being itself an illusion and offering only
W1:69.5  them and past them, which is the only way in which you would be  really convinced of their lack of substance. We will make this
W1:70.5  it did. Today we practice realizing that God's Will and ours are  really the same in this.
W1:70.6 God wants us to be healed, and we do not  really want to be sick, because it makes us unhappy. Therefore, in
W1:73.6  between you and your salvation. The reason is very simple. Do you  really want to be in hell? Do you really want to weep and suffer and
W1:73.6  The reason is very simple. Do you really want to be in hell? Do you  really want to weep and suffer and die? Forget the ego's arguments
W1:73.6  and die? Forget the ego's arguments which seek to prove all this is  really Heaven. You know it is not so. You cannot want this for
W1:73.7 Suffering is not happiness, and it is happiness you  really want. Such is your will in truth. And so salvation is your
W1:73.8  accept God's plan because you share in it. You have no will that can  really oppose it, and you do not want to do so. Salvation is for you.
W1:73.8  is for you. Above all else you want the freedom to remember who you  really are.
W1:73.15 In the shorter practice periods, again make a declaration of what you  really want. Say:
W1:76.3  the strange and twisted laws which you have set up to save you. You  really think that you would starve unless you have stacks of green
W1:76.3  you have stacks of green paper strips and piles of metal discs. You  really think a small round pellet or some fluid pushed into your
W1:76.3  into your veins through a sharpened needle will ward off death. You  really think you are alone unless another body is with you.
W1:76.5  The body's suffering is a mask the mind holds up to hide what  really suffers. It would not understand it is its own enemy, that it
W1:77.5  but asking that the Will of God be done. In doing this, you do not  really ask for anything. You state a fact that cannot be denied.
W1:79.1  cannot be solved if you do not know what it is. Even if it is  really solved already, you will still have the problem because you
W1:79.1  is the situation of the world. The problem of separation, which is  really the only problem, has already been solved. But the solution is
W1:91.8  today. What you think you are is a belief to be undone. But what you  really are must be revealed to you. The belief you are a body calls
W1:91.9  something more solid and more sure, more worthy of your faith, and  really there.
W1:96.4  from your self-concept, for it has no place in which it could be  really part of you. If you are Spirit, then the body must be
W1:98.8  the words you say, and you will go beyond their sound to what they  really mean. Today you practice with Him as you say:
W1:102.1  shaken now, at least enough to let you question it and to suspect it  really makes no sense. It has not gone as yet but lacks the roots
W1:106.1  you will not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing that you  really want; if you will listen with an open mind, which has not told
W1:120.3  aside all sick illusions of myself and let my Father tell me Who I  really am.
W1:126.10  by. Repeat today's idea, and ask for help in understanding what it  really means. Be willing to be taught. Be glad to hear the Voice of
W1:127.4 No course whose purpose is to teach you what you  really are could fail to emphasize there is no difference in what you
W1:129.3  and vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss to find all things you  really want and know they have no ending, and they will remain
W1:129.6  choosing not to value nothingness? This world holds nothing that you  really want, but what you choose instead you want indeed! Let it be
W1:129.8  choose to see that world instead of this, for here is nothing that I  really want.
W1:130.1  for what you value you must want to see, believing what you see is  really there. No one can see a world his mind has not accorded value.
W1:130.2 Yet who can  really hate and love at once? Who can desire what he does not want to
W1:131.4  yet new—an echo of a heritage forgot, yet holding everything you  really want.
W1:131.5  as well to learn you search for Heaven and must find the goal you  really want. No one can fail to want this goal and reach it in the
W1:131.6  It will go because you do not want it. You will reach the goal you  really want as certainly as God created you in sinlessness.
W1:131.7  a tiny candle from a distant star, or what you chose from what you  really want.
W1:131.15  no other goal is valued now nor sought; nothing before this door you  really want, and only what lies past it do you seek.
W1:133.8  denied your own. You therefore will not recognize the things you  really have, denying they are there. Who seeks to take away has been
W1:134.4  as true and not believe forgiveness is a lie. Thus is forgiveness  really but a sin, like all the rest. It says the truth is false and
W1:135.26  today when undefended you present yourself to your Creator as you  really are.
W1:136.22 I have forgotten what I  really am for I mistook my body for myself. Sickness is a defense
W1:137.4  that truth is true. The separation sickness would impose has never  really happened. To be healed is merely to accept what always was the
W1:138.2  Heaven seem to be the same as the relinquishment of hell. It is not  really thus. Yet what is true in God's creation cannot enter here
W1:138.4  that you think a thousand choices are confronting you when there is  really only one to make. And even this but seems to be a choice. Do
W1:139.3 To be alive and not to know yourself is to believe that you are  really dead. For what is life except to be yourself, and what but you
W1:139.5  this, and yet you doubt it. But you do not ask what part of you can  really doubt yourself. It cannot really be a part of you that asks
W1:139.5  you do not ask what part of you can really doubt yourself. It cannot  really be a part of you that asks this question, for it asks of one
W1:139.6  idea that it is possible to doubt yourself and be unsure of what you  really are. This is the depth of madness. Yet it is the universal
W1:139.12  truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how faithful they have  really been to us, and how our Father's Love contains us all.
W1:140.7  a change in anything. The mind that brings illusions to the truth is  really changed. There is no change but this. For how can one illusion
W1:140.14  to us. This is the day when separation ends and we remember Who we  really are.
W1:151.2 You do not seem to doubt the world you see. You do not  really question what is shown you through the body's eyes. Nor do you
W1:155.2  then they step back and let it lead the way. What other choice is  really theirs to make? To let illusion walk ahead of truth is
W1:164.5  part like a curtain to reveal what lies beyond them. Now is what is  really there made visible, while all the shadows which appeared to
W1:166.4  he has forgotten where he came from, where he goes, and even who he  really is.
W1:166.6  has felt defeat and hopelessness as he is feeling them. Yet is he  really tragic when you see that he is following the way he chose and
W1:170.4  the alien, now needs your defense against the threat of what you  really are.
W1:181.9 Nor do we ask for fantasies. For what we seek to look upon is  really there. And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a
W1:184.8  appeal. His true Identity is hidden from you by what you believe he  really is. His body makes response to what you call him, for his mind
W1:185.7 Let us today devote our practicing to recognizing that we  really mean the words we say. We want the peace of God. This is no
W1:185.10  this request with deep sincerity. For thus you reach to what they  really want and join your own intent with what they seek above all
W1:190.6  you elect to change your mind and choose the joy of God as what you  really want. Your Self is radiant in this holy joy, unchanged,
W1:194.4  real. And so you are not asked to understand the lack of sequence  really found in time. You are but asked to let the future go and
W1:194.6 If you can see the lesson for today as the deliverance it  really is, you will not hesitate to give as much consistent effort as
W2:227.2 And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never  really left. The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The Son of

W2:261.1  In Him is everlasting peace. And only there will I remember who I  really am.

W2:WIM.1 A miracle is a correction. It does not create nor  really change at all. It merely looks on devastation and reminds the

W2:358.1 You Who remember what I  really am alone remember what I really want. You speak for God, and

M:4.9  really know what was valuable and what was valueless. All that he  really learned so far was that he did not want the valueless and that

Tx:13.29  You who have always loved your Father can have no fear for any  reason to look within and see your holiness. You cannot be as you
Tx:13.29  You cannot be as you believed you were. Your guilt is without  reason, because it is not in the Mind of God where you are. And this

Tx:21.55  the totally insane can disregard them, and you have gone past this.  Reason is a means which serves the Holy Spirit's purpose in its own
Tx:21.55  and redirected from the goal of sin as are the others. For  reason is beyond the ego's range of means.

Tx:21.58  you do not know but must belong to you? Faith and belief, upheld by  reason, cannot fail to lead to changed perception. And in this change
Tx:21.59  Reason cannot see sin but can see errors and leads to their
Tx:21.59  to their correction. It does not value them, but their correction.  Reason will also tell you when you think you sin, you call for help.
Tx:21.59  that you are damned. This you could spare him and yourself. For  reason would not make way for correction in you alone.
Tx:21.60  refused by you without your brother. Sin would maintain it can. Yet  reason tells you that you cannot see your brother or yourself as
Tx:21.60  himself apart from it? Sin would maintain you must be separate. But  reason tells you that this must be wrong. If you are joined, how
Tx:21.61  and therefore unreal. The home of madness cannot be the home of  reason. Yet it is easy to leave the home of madness if you see
Tx:21.61  of reason. Yet it is easy to leave the home of madness if you see  reason. You do not leave insanity by going somewhere else. You leave
Tx:21.61  insanity by going somewhere else. You leave it simply by accepting  reason where madness was. Madness and reason see the same things, but
Tx:21.61  leave it simply by accepting reason where madness was. Madness and  reason see the same things, but it is certain that they look upon
Tx:21.62 Madness is an attack on  reason that drives it out of mind and takes its place. Reason does
Tx:21.62  an attack on reason that drives it out of mind and takes its place.  Reason does not attack but takes the place of madness quietly,

Tx:21.63  must be insane. Nor could you see it if you heard the voice of  reason. What can there be that stands between what is continuous? And
Tx:21.63  in between, how can what enters part be kept away from other parts?  Reason would tell you this. But think what you must recognize if it
Tx:21.64  fearful unless it disagrees with what you hold more dear than truth?  Reason will tell you that this fact is your release. Neither your

Tx:21.66  reason and brings your reason into line with His. Be willing to let  reason be the means by which He would direct you how to leave
Tx:21.66  insanity behind. Hide not behind insanity in order to escape from  reason. What madness would conceal, the Holy Spirit still holds out
Tx:21.67 You are your brother's savior. He is yours.  Reason speaks happily indeed of this. This gracious plan was given
Tx:21.68  as one. And as his gratitude goes out to you who blessed him,  reason will tell you that it cannot be you stand apart from blessing.

Tx:21.78  to the last question you have left unanswered still. And let your  reason tell you that it must be answered and is answered in the other
Tx:21.81 Why is the final question so important?  Reason will tell you why. It is the same as are the other three

Tx:22.4  [And here is sight of differences transformed to vision.] And  reason now can lead you to the logical conclusion of your union. It
Tx:22.5 Let  reason take another step. If you attack whom God would heal and hate
Tx:22.6  strange idea, which it does accurately describe, you think is you.  Reason would tell you that the world you see through eyes which are
Tx:22.7  lead you, asking it to explain to you the world it sees, you have no  reason not to listen nor to suspect that what it tells you is not
Tx:22.7  not to listen nor to suspect that what it tells you is not true.  Reason would tell you it cannot be true because you do not understand
Tx:22.8  secrets be except another will that is your own, apart from His?  Reason would tell you that this is no secret that need be hidden as a
Tx:22.13  this they could not do through bodies. What, then, has joined them?  Reason will tell you that they must have seen each other through a
Tx:22.13  where his Self could be reborn in safety and in peace. Such did his  reason tell him; such he believed because it was the truth.
Tx:22.19  Reason will tell you that the only way to escape from misery is to
Tx:22.20 Both  reason and the ego will tell you this, but what they make of it is
Tx:22.20  guilt can be attained, then the belief in sin must be eternal. Yet  reason looks on this another way, for reason sees the source of an
Tx:22.20  in sin must be eternal. Yet reason looks on this another way, for  reason sees the source of an idea as what will make it true or false.
Tx:22.20  This must be so if the idea is like its source. Therefore, says  reason, if escape from guilt was given to the Holy Spirit as His
Tx:22.21  It must be made. Faith and belief can fall to either side, but  reason tells you that misery lies only on one side and joy upon the
Tx:22.22  And you will either escape from misery entirely or not at all.  Reason will tell you that there is no middle ground where you can
Tx:22.29 The introduction of  reason into the ego's thought system is the beginning of its undoing.

Tx:22.29  what is obvious is not ambiguous. It can be understood. And here do  reason and the ego separate to go their different ways.
Tx:22.30  on its belief you cannot learn this course. Share this belief, and  reason will be unable to see your errors and make way for their
Tx:22.30  be unable to see your errors and make way for their correction. For  reason sees through errors, telling you what you thought was real is
Tx:22.30  sees through errors, telling you what you thought was real is not.  Reason can see the difference between sin and mistakes because it
Tx:22.30  looks on nothing that can be corrected. Thus does the ego damn and  reason save.
Tx:22.31  Reason is not salvation in itself, but it makes way for peace and
Tx:22.31  across the road to peace. No one who looks on it without the help of  reason would try to pass it. The body's eyes behold it as solid
Tx:22.31  granite, so thick it would be madness to attempt to pass it. Yet  reason sees through it easily because it is an error. The form it
Tx:22.33  Reason will tell you that the form of error is not what makes it a

Tx:22.55  there is no sin. The form of error is no longer seen, and  reason, joined with love, looks quietly on all confusion, observing

Tx:27.8 The sick have  reason for each one of their unnatural desires and strange needs. For
Tx:27.9  the termination of the grave. If this were true, there would be  reason to remain content to seek for passing joys and cherish little
Tx:27.15 To witness sin and yet forgive it is a paradox which  reason cannot see. For it maintains what has been done to you
Tx:27.21  How could the Holy Spirit be deterred an instant, even less, to  reason with an argument for sickness such as this? And need your
Tx:27.62  this “something else,” a thing outside himself for which he has no  reason to be held responsible. He must be innocent because he knows

Tx:11.7  help yourselves. But hear his call for the help of God, and you will  recognize your own need for the Father.
Tx:11.8  perceive but one need in yourself, you will be healed. For you will  recognize God's answer as you want it to be, and if you want it in
Tx:11.9  awareness that His criteria are equally applicable to you. For to  recognize fear is not enough to escape from it, although the
Tx:11.9  not towards it. Yet we have repeatedly emphasized the need to  recognize fear and face it without disguise as a crucial step in the
Tx:11.13  love, which is the world's reality, how could you do better than to  recognize in every defense against it the underlying appeal for it?
Tx:11.16  make whole, for to perceive in sickness the appeal for health is to  recognize in hatred the call for love. And to give a brother what he
Tx:11.27  Recognize what does not matter, and if your brothers ask you for
Tx:11.34  your mind since the mind is the mechanism of decision. If you will  recognize that all attack which you perceive is in your own mind and
Tx:11.38  Follow its teaching, then, and you will search for love but will not  recognize it.
Tx:11.61  is demonstrated as you use it in more and more situations. You will  recognize that you have learned there is no order of difficulty in
Tx:11.62  in the world must play his part in the redemption of the world to  recognize that the world has been redeemed. You cannot see the
Tx:11.62  effects, you know it must be there. By perceiving what it does, you  recognize its being. And by what it does, you learn what it is. You
Tx:11.66  same, and if you seek for two goals you will find them, but you will  recognize neither. For you will think they are the same because you
Tx:12.5 In the calm light of truth, let us  recognize that you believe you have crucified God's Son. You have not
Tx:12.9  For the redeemed son of man is the guiltless Son of God, and to  recognize him is your redemption.
Tx:12.29 Would you  recognize a holy encounter if you are merely perceiving it as a
Tx:12.36 The delusional can be very destructive, for they do not  recognize that they have condemned themselves. They do not wish to
Tx:12.40  whom God gave Himself. And it is God to Whom you must offer them to  recognize His gift to you.
Tx:13.30  to love unlike Him, for there is no love apart from His. Until you  recognize that this is true, you will have no idea what love is like.
Tx:13.54  accomplished. You who are steadfastly devoted to misery must first  recognize that you are miserable and not happy. The Holy Spirit
Tx:13.60  to make nothing everything. Yet see that this has been your goal and  recognize how foolish it has been. Be glad it is undone, for when you
Tx:14.1  necessary conditions for knowing Him, you have denied Him and do not  recognize Him, though He is all around you. He cannot be known
Tx:14.31  perception with Him Whom God has given you teaches you how to  recognize what you see. It is the recognition that nothing you see
Tx:14.52  safely make this division, for you are much too confused either to  recognize love or to believe that everything else is nothing but a
Tx:14.57  By supplying your identity wherever it is not recognized, you will  recognize it. And God Himself, Who wills to be with His Son forever,
Tx:14.63 You have one test, as sure as God, by which to  recognize if what you learned is true. If you are wholly free of fear
Tx:14.64  How would you know? Your part is very simple. You need only  recognize that everything you learned you do not want. Ask to be
Tx:14.75  prevail against your peace. And this will be the test by which you  recognize that you have understood.
Tx:15.20  holy instant has not yet happened to you. Yet it will, and you will  recognize it with perfect certainty. No gift of God is recognized in
Tx:15.38  holy altar on which your Father has placed Himself? This you will  recognize in the holy instant in which you willingly and gladly give
Tx:15.38  in littleness. It is not there. Use the holy instant only to  recognize that you alone cannot know where it is and can only deceive
Tx:15.40  reason, for if you do, it will be only because you prefer not to  recognize it and not to let it go. The simple reason, simply stated,
Tx:15.42  communication off because you would have it so. It is impossible to  recognize perfect communication while breaking communication holds
Tx:15.57  you. In the holy instant, we share our faith in God's Son because we  recognize together that he is wholly worthy of it, and in our
Tx:15.59  success as witness to the possibility of yours. That is because you  recognize, however dimly, that God is an idea, and so your faith in
Tx:15.60  one is aware that perfect love is in him. In the holy instant, you  recognize the idea of love in you and unite this idea with the mind
Tx:15.62  obscure your need of this. For in the holy instant, you will  recognize the only need the aspects of the Son of God share equally,
Tx:15.68  to maintain and increase guilt, but in such a way that you do not  recognize what it would do to you. For it is the ego's fundamental
Tx:15.79  but your salvation. And that in complete forgiveness, in which you  recognize that there is nothing to forgive, you are absolved
Tx:15.86  interference and seeing it exactly as it is. For it is impossible to  recognize as wholly without gratification what you think you want.
Tx:15.97  it never seems to be demanding it of you. For you are unwilling to  recognize that the ego, which you invited, is treacherous only to
Tx:15.99  it to take His place to protect you from Him. And you do not  recognize that it is what you invited in that would destroy you and
Tx:15.101 Fear not to  recognize the whole idea of sacrifice as solely of your making. And
Tx:15.106  you find not love. It is impossible to deny what love is and still  recognize it. The meaning of love lies in what you have cast outside
Tx:15.111  myself. In the name of my freedom I will your release, because I  recognize that we will be released together.
Tx:16.5  you desert not him. Humility is strength in this sense only—to  recognize and accept the fact that you do not know is to recognize
Tx:16.5  only—to recognize and accept the fact that you do not know is to  recognize and accept the fact that He does know. You are not sure
Tx:16.20  what has faith in you. Think what you have really seen and heard and  recognize it. Can you be alone with witnesses like these?
Tx:16.21  alien it is to what you thought you knew, you will be compelled to  recognize that your Teacher came from beyond your thought system and
Tx:16.23  from yourself. And yet, this Self you clearly do not know and do not  recognize It even though It functions. What functions must be there.
Tx:16.36  Recognize this, for it is true, and truth must be recognized if it is
Tx:16.50  other, the ego sees “a union made in Heaven.” For neither one will  recognize that he has asked for hell, and so he will not interfere
Tx:16.56  true. They but seem to be fearful to the extent to which you fail to  recognize them for what they are, and you will fail to do this to the
Tx:16.58  one. You will cross the bridge into reality simply because you will  recognize that God is on the other side and nothing at all is here.
Tx:16.60  of guilt, the real lure in the special relationship. You do not  recognize that this is its real appeal, for the ego has taught you
Tx:16.65  here. For you are no longer wholly insane, and you would  recognize the guilt of self-betrayal for what it is.
Tx:17.29  made very real relationships even in this world which you do not  recognize simply because you have raised their substitutes to such
Tx:17.32  the special relationship protects is but a system of delusions. You  recognize, at least in general terms, that the ego is insane. Yet the
Tx:17.40  a picture is brought home at last. And what you see there, you will  recognize as what it is—a picture of what you thought was real and
Tx:17.54  blind you to yourself. And it is impossible to deny yourself and  recognize what has been given and received by you.
Tx:17.56  share the gladness of the Sonship that it is so. As you begin to  recognize and accept the gifts you have so freely given to each
Tx:17.61  truly, for deception cannot prevail against you. And you will  recognize the outcome because you are at peace. Here again, you see
Tx:17.68  not the illusion of peace it offers, but look upon its offering and  recognize it is illusion.
Tx:18.16  between what you see in sleep and on awaking disturbing. You  recognize that what you see on waking is blotted out in dreams. Yet
Tx:18.18  You seem to waken, and the dream is gone. Yet what you fail to  recognize is that what caused the dream has not gone with it.
Tx:18.69 To do anything involves the body. And if you  recognize you need do nothing, you have withdrawn the body's value
Tx:18.71  yourselves within a body know yourself as an idea? Everything you  recognize you identify with externals, something outside itself. You
Tx:18.71  cannot even think of God without a body or some form you think you  recognize.
Tx:18.80  kingdoms locked away from love and leaving you inside. And you will  recognize yourself and see your little garden gently transformed into
Tx:18.82  relationship and entered fully at your weak request. You do not  recognize that love has come because you have not yet let go of all
Tx:18.82  no more be unaware of love than love could know you not or fail to  recognize itself in you.
Tx:19.8  there separation must be complete. And to perceive this is to  recognize where separation is and where it must be healed. The result
Tx:19.13  other. Your faithlessness had driven you apart, and so you did not  recognize salvation in each other. Yet faith unites you in the
Tx:19.27  all as God entrusted Him to do. But sin He knows not, nor can He  recognize mistakes which cannot be corrected. For a mistake which
Tx:19.73  by the sender and the receiver. The ego and the Holy Spirit both  recognize this, and both also recognize that here the sender and
Tx:19.73  The ego and the Holy Spirit both recognize this, and both also  recognize that here the sender and receiver are the same. The Holy
Tx:19.109  but he must choose what it will be that he receives. And he will  recognize his choice by what he gives and what is given him. Nor is
Tx:19.110  Yet it is given you to see this purpose in your holy Friend and  recognize it is your own.
Tx:20.4  and given as your gift, you will behold each other's face and  recognize it. I was a stranger and you took me in, not knowing who I
Tx:20.15  together, singing as you behold the open door of Heaven, and  recognize the home that called to you. Give joyously to one another
Tx:20.17  It is this studied interference which makes it difficult for you to  recognize your holy relationship for what it is.
Tx:20.24  him thanks for all the happiness which he held out to you? Did you  recognize each other as the eternal gift of God to you? Did you see
Tx:20.39  too little. What is inestimable clearly cannot be evaluated. Do you  recognize the fear that rises from the meaningless attempt to judge
Tx:20.40  offering? His worth has been established by his Father, and you will  recognize it as you receive his Father's gift through him. What is in
Tx:20.43  through His vision will you see it, and through His understanding  recognize it and love it as your own.
Tx:20.59  are refusing to leave the means to Him Who changed the purpose. You  recognize you want the goal. Are you not also willing to accept the
Tx:20.74  Believe them not, and they are gone. And all you need to do is  recognize you did this. Once you accept this simple fact and take
Tx:21.2  will see the witness to the choice you made and learn from this to  recognize which one you chose. [The world you see but shows you how
Tx:21.3  inferences as they stumble and fall because of what they did not  recognize, or walk unharmed through open doorways which they thought
Tx:21.3  wrong, and so you stumble and fall down upon the stones you did not  recognize, but fail to be aware you can go through the doors you
Tx:21.4  to imagine what the world must look like. It must be seen before you  recognize it for what it is. You can be shown which doors are open,
Tx:21.22  to stop your interference with what will happen of itself; simply to  recognize again the presence of what you thought you gave away.
Tx:21.26 It is as needful that you  recognize you made the world you see as that you recognize that you
Tx:21.26  as needful that you recognize you made the world you see as that you  recognize that you did not create yourself. They are the same
Tx:21.36  body, supporting vision, not obstructing it. But first they chose to  recognize how much their faith had limited their understanding of the
Tx:21.44  mad, you have been willing to look on much of your insanity and  recognize its madness. Your faith is moving inward, past insanity and
Tx:21.45  of freedom, the acceptance of release to come to you. And now you  recognize that it was not the ego that joined the Holy Spirit's
Tx:21.63  other parts? Reason would tell you this. But think what you must  recognize if it be so.
Tx:21.73  does this enemy appear, who changes so it is impossible even to  recognize him!
Tx:21.90 What is the holy instant but God's appeal to you to  recognize what He has given you? Here is the great appeal to reason;
Tx:22.4  them all becomes apparent. Here is the golden circle where you  recognize the Son of God. For what is born into a holy relationship
Tx:22.10  he sees about him will become to him his comforters, and he will  recognize his home and see them there with him.
Tx:22.14  denial of illusions that calls on truth, for to deny illusions is to  recognize that fear is meaningless. Into the holy home, where fear is
Tx:22.19 Reason will tell you that the only way to escape from misery is to  recognize it and go the other way. Truth is the same and misery the
Tx:22.26  be. It is impossible to look upon your savior as your enemy and  recognize him. Yet it is possible to recognize him for what he is if
Tx:22.26  your savior as your enemy and recognize him. Yet it is possible to  recognize him for what he is if God would have it so. What God has
Tx:22.32 Only the form of error attracts the ego. Meaning it does not  recognize and does not know if it is there or not. Everything which
Tx:22.35  perception and must perceive illusions as the truth. Could it then  recognize the truth?
Tx:22.56  of peace, the light has come to you. The light you bring you do not  recognize, and yet you will remember. Who can deny himself the vision
Tx:22.56  himself the vision that he brings to others? And who would fail to  recognize a gift he let be laid in Heaven through himself? The gentle
Tx:22.57  from seeing past it? And what illusion could there be you will not  recognize as a mistake—a shadow through which you walk completely
Tx:22.57  let nothing interfere with those whose wills are His[. And they will  recognize their wills are His, because they serve His Will] and serve
Tx:23.6  salvation and your freedom. And it must be complete if you would  recognize it.
Tx:23.27  By this, another's loss becomes your gain, and thus it fails to  recognize that you can never take away save from yourself. Yet all
Tx:23.36  be tenable? Yet you believe them for the form they take and do not  recognize the content. It never changes. Can you paint rosy lips upon
Tx:23.40  one step in the descent to hell. For having taken one, you will not  recognize the rest for what they are. And they will follow. Attack in
Tx:23.41 Is it not true you do not  recognize some of the forms attack can take? If it is true attack in
Tx:23.41  hurt you and will do so just as much as in another form which you do  recognize, then it must follow that you do not always recognize the
Tx:23.41  which you do recognize, then it must follow that you do not always  recognize the source of pain. Attack in any form is equally
Tx:23.44  and love for that and understand forgiveness. Would you not want to  recognize assault upon your peace in any form, if only thus does it
Tx:23.50  of murder and attack that still attracts you and that you do not  recognize for what it is limits the healing and the miracles you have
Tx:23.52  remember you can see the battle from above. Even in forms you do not  recognize, the signs you know. There is a stab of pain, a twinge of
Tx:24.13  at the cost of peace. Who can attack his savior and cut him down yet  recognize his strong support? Who can detract from his omnipotence
Tx:24.66  immortality, setting another light in Heaven, where your creations  recognize a gift from you, a sign that you have not forgotten them.
Tx:25.2 No one who carries Christ in him can fail to  recognize Him everywhere. Except in bodies. And as long as they
Tx:25.2  Him unknowingly and do not make Him manifest. And thus they do not  recognize Him where He is. The son of man is not the risen Christ.
Tx:25.23  a world in which attack is justified. To the extent to which you  recognize that guilt is meaningless, to that extent will you perceive
Tx:25.31  all time becomes a means to reach a goal. Make then your choice. But  recognize that in this choice the purpose of the world you see is
Tx:25.32 Minds that are joined and  recognize they are can feel no guilt. For they cannot attack, and
Tx:25.63  you prefer He take it than that you keep it for yourself alone and  recognize that what brings loss to no one you would not know. This
Tx:25.71  Him far. No further than what you see He offers you and what you  recognize you could not give yourself.
Tx:25.72 In God's own justice does He  recognize all you deserve but understands as well that you cannot
Tx:25.73  unfair indeed to all the holiness that is in him, however much he  recognize it not. God knows of no injustice. He would not allow His
Tx:25.78  mean that truth has greater value now than all illusions. And you  recognize that truth must be revealed to you because you know not
Tx:26.61  Son made incomplete and not himself. [Nor will he know himself nor  recognize his will.] He has forsworn his Father and himself and made
Tx:26.63 The miracle but calls your ancient name, which you will  recognize because the truth is in your memory. And to this name, your
Tx:27.26  half the Holy Spirit must represent the other half until you  recognize it is the other half. And this He does by giving both of
Tx:27.27  assured that He will not fulfill a function He cannot understand and  recognize as His. For only thus can He keep yours preserved intact,
Tx:27.65  which those within the world are joined in sharing. Yet they do not  recognize their common need. For each one thinks that if he does his
Tx:27.86  as they may, they could have no effect on you unless you failed to  recognize it is your dream. This single lesson learned will set you
Tx:28.44  he insisted was himself. And when he sees this picture, he will  recognize himself. If you share not your brother's evil dream, this
Tx:29.8  fear its weakness, but its lack of strength or weakness. Would you  recognize that nothing stands between you? Would you know there is no
Tx:29.26  indeed if it allowed you still to be afraid because you did not  recognize the fear. You would not then be willing to awake, for which
Tx:29.64  forget that they made up the dream in which their toys are real, nor  recognize their wishes are their own.
Tx:30.2  you are making them. But with a little practice with the ones you  recognize, a set begins to form which sees you through the rest. It

Tx:31.10  to you beyond each form of hate, each call to war. Yet you will  recognize Him as you give Him answer in the language that He calls.
Tx:31.44  For it is made to serve two purposes, but one of which the mind can  recognize. The first presents the face of innocence, the aspect acted
Tx:31.62 You see the flesh or  recognize the Spirit. There is no compromise between the two. If one
Tx:31.68  thinking to be helpful nor to make the kinds of change you could not  recognize. Concepts are needed while perception lasts, and changing
Tx:31.69 You could not  recognize your “evil” thoughts as long as you see value in attack.
W1:4.3  meaningful within. It is also the beginning of training your mind to  recognize what is the same and what is different. In using your
W1:4.5 You can also use the idea for a particular thought which you  recognize as harmful. This practice is useful, but is not a
W1:8.3  purpose of the exercises for today is to begin to train your mind to  recognize when it is not really thinking at all. While thoughtless
W1:8.4  is because you actually cannot see anything, and it is easier to  recognize that, no matter how vividly you may picture a thought, you

W1:10.3  statement that your mind is really a blank. To recognize this is to  recognize nothingness when you think you see it. As such, it is the
W1:13.3 It is essential, therefore, that you learn to  recognize the meaningless and accept it without fear. If you are
W1:15.1  the thoughts you think you think appear as images that you do not  recognize them as nothing. You think you think them, and so you think
W1:16.3 In addition to never being idle, salvation requires that you  recognize that every thought you have brings either peace or war,
W1:16.3  trivial, and not worth bothering about that it is essential you  recognize them all as equally destructive but equally unreal. We will
W1:21.3  escape you in the practice periods. Remember that you do not really  recognize what arouses anger in you, and nothing that you believe in
W1:23.9  exactly the same because they are exactly the same. You do not yet  recognize this, and you are asked at this time only to treat them as
W1:24.1  any situation which is correctly perceived. Otherwise, you will not  recognize what they are.
W1:24.8 If these exercises are done properly, you will quickly  recognize that you are making a large number of demands of the
W1:24.8  of the situation which have nothing to do with it. You will also  recognize that many of your goals are contradictory, that you have no
W1:25.4  more thought is necessary. At the most superficial levels, you do  recognize purpose. Yet purpose cannot be understood at these levels.
W1:30.2  trying to see in the world what is in our minds, and what we want to  recognize is there. Thus we are trying to join with what we see,
W1:33.1 Today's idea is an attempt to  recognize that you can shift your perception of the world in both its
W1:35.5  self-inflating descriptive terms may well cross your mind. Try to  recognize that the direction of your fantasies about yourself does
W1:44.2 In order to see, you must  recognize that light is within, not without. You do not see outside
W1:45.5 Instead, we will try to  recognize that only what God would have us do is possible. We will

W1:48.1  are not facts. In truth there is nothing to fear. It is very easy to  recognize this. But it is very difficult to recognize for those who
W1:48.1  fear. It is very easy to recognize this. But it is very difficult to  recognize for those who want illusions to be true.
W1:48.3  that somewhere in your mind, not necessarily in a place which you  recognize as yet, you have remembered God and let His strength take
W1:50.4  Repeat it, think about it, let related thoughts come to help you  recognize its truth, and allow peace to flow over you like a blanket
W1:51.2  I see nothing, and nothing has no meaning. It is necessary that I  recognize this, that I may learn to see. What I think I see now is
W1:51.3  judgments have been made quite apart from reality. I am willing to  recognize the lack of validity in my judgments because I want to see.
W1:51.5  because I have made my thoughts to take their place. I am willing to  recognize that my thoughts do not mean anything and to let them go. I
W1:53.5  of creation is my home? Let me remember the power of my decision and  recognize where I really abide.
W1:55.5 [24] I do not perceive my own best interests. How could I  recognize my own best interests when I do not know who I am? What I
W1:55.6  It is this that I believe the world is for. Therefore I do not  recognize its real purpose. The purpose I have given the world has
W1:56.5  And we who are part of Him will yet look past all appearances and  recognize the truth beyond them all.
W1:57.3  I see. I made up the prison in which I see myself. All I need do is  recognize this, and I am free. I have deluded myself into believing
W1:58.3  joy because there is nothing that does not share my holiness. As I  recognize my holiness, so does the holiness of the world shine forth
W1:60.2  see nothing to forgive. Yet forgiveness is the means by which I will  recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of God's Love on earth.
W1:60.3  God in me, which I am remembering as I forgive. As I begin to see, I  recognize His reflection on earth. I forgive all things because I
W1:60.4  and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I will  recognize in everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to fear

W1:67.6  of thoughtlessness to the awareness of a blazing light in which you  recognize yourself as Love created you. Be confident that you will do
W1:69.8  be certain that He has heard you and has answered you. You may not  recognize His answer yet, but you can indeed be sure that it is given
W1:70.10  and events, and in self-concepts which you sought to make real.  Recognize that it was not there. Tell yourself:
W1:72.10  our concern. To be without a body is to be in our natural state. To  recognize the light of truth in us is to recognize ourselves as we
W1:72.10  be in our natural state. To recognize the light of truth in us is to  recognize ourselves as we are. To see our Self as separate from the
W1:72.11  what God's plan for us is. We are therefore attacking what we do not  recognize. Now we are going to try to lay judgment aside and ask what
W1:74.2  illusions. Without illusions, conflict is impossible. Let us try to  recognize this today and experience the peace this recognition brings.
W1:74.11  and enervation. Joy characterizes peace. By this experience will you  recognize that you have reached it.
W1:77.9  whenever a situation arises in which they are called for. You will  recognize these situations; you are not relying on yourself to find
W1:79.1  solved already, you will still have the problem because you cannot  recognize that it has been solved. This is the situation of the
W1:79.6 All this complexity is but a desperate attempt not to  recognize the problem and therefore not to let it be resolved. If you

W1:79.6  the means to solve them all. And you would use the means because you  recognize the problem.
W1:79.7  to realize that we have only one problem, which we have failed to  recognize. We will ask what it is and wait for the answer. We will be
W1:79.8  reality of our version of what our problems are. We are trying to  recognize that we have been given the answer by recognizing the
W1:79.11 Let me  recognize this problem so it can be solved.
W1:80.1 If you are willing to  recognize your problems, you will recognize that you have no
W1:80.1 If you are willing to recognize your problems, you will  recognize that you have no problems. Your one central problem has

W1:80.5  brings be given you. Close your eyes and receive your reward.  Recognize that your problems have been solved. Recognize that you are
W1:80.5  receive your reward. Recognize that your problems have been solved.  Recognize that you are out of conflict, free, and at peace. Above
W1:80.7 Let me  recognize this problem has been solved.
W1:80.8  Do not deceive yourself about what the problem is, and you must  recognize it has been solved.
W1:83.5  because both come from the same Source. And I must learn to  recognize what makes me happy if I would find happiness.
W1:84.2  I cannot experience loss, and I cannot die. I am not a body. I would  recognize my reality today. I will worship no idols nor raise my own
W1:85.5 [70] My salvation comes from me. Today I will  recognize where my salvation is. It is in me because its Source is

W1:90.2 [79] Let me  recognize the problem so it can be solved. Let me realize today that
W1:90.5 [80] Let me  recognize my problems have been solved. I seem to have problems only
W1:92.11  and trust. Let us repeat as often as we can the idea for today and  recognize that we are being introduced to sight and led away from
W1:98.3 The guiltless have no fear, for they are safe and  recognize their safety. They do not appeal to magic nor invent
W1:98.5  that God has given you? Is it not worth five minutes hourly to  recognize your special function here? Is not five minutes of the hour
W1:99.4  which are forever one? What plan could hold the truth inviolate, yet  recognize the need illusions bring and offer means by which they are

W1:104.6  we lay aside and seek instead that which is truly ours, as we ask to  recognize what God has given us.
W1:105.9 Thus you prepare yourself to  recognize God's gifts to you and let your mind be free of all that
W1:107.8  we do not have. We merely ask for what belongs to us, that we may  recognize it as our own.

W1:122.3  those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. It lets you  recognize the Son of God and clears your memory of all dead thoughts
W1:124.2  walk the world a little while. And those who come to follow us will  recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind, yet still
W1:124.9  Yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you, nor will you fail to  recognize it when it dawns with certainty upon your mind. This half
W1:126.7 Not having given Him the gift He asks of you, you cannot  recognize His gifts and think He has not given them to you. Yet would

W1:132.8  bring the lesson to them in some form which they can understand and  recognize. Some see it suddenly on point of death and rise to teach
W1:133.8  to everything, you have denied your own. You therefore will not  recognize the things you really have, denying they are there. Who
W1:133.9  is easiest of all to be deceived, for what the ego wants it fails to  recognize. It does not even tell the truth as it perceives it, for it

W1:138.11  making sure that we have made the one decision that is sane. We  recognize we make a conscious choice between what has existence and
W1:139.2 Yet who could ask this question except one who has refused to  recognize himself? Only refusal to accept yourself could make the

W1:152.10  is our own. And we accept of Him that which we are and humbly  recognize the Son of God.
W1:152.11 To  recognize God's Son implies as well that all self-concepts have been

W1:154.10 It is this joining that we undertake to  recognize today. We will not seek to keep our minds apart from Him
W1:154.11 We practice giving Him what He would have that we may  recognize His gifts to us. He needs our voice that He may speak
W1:154.12 Let us but learn this lesson for today: we will not  recognize what we receive until we give it. You have heard this said
W1:154.14  of God, and I am grateful that I have the means by which to  recognize that I am free.
W1:155.1  your eyes are quiet. And the ones who walk the world as you do  recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet perceived the way

W1:156.5  longs to behold. All living things are still before you, for they  recognize Who walks with you. The light you carry is their own, and
W1:159.1  it must be kept. Salvation teaches otherwise. To give is how to  recognize you have received. It is the proof that what you have is
W1:159.2  accept forgiveness as accomplished in yourself when you forgive. You  recognize your brother as yourself and thus do you perceive that you

W2:243.1  from bits of my perception, which are all that I can see. Today I  recognize that this is so. And so I am relieved of judgment which I

W2:262.2 We who are one would  recognize this day the truth about ourselves. We would come home and
W2:268.1  to let it be as You created it. For thus will I be able, too, to  recognize my Self as You created me. In Love was I created, and in
W2:WIHS.3 If you but knew how much your Father yearns to have you  recognize your sinlessness, you would not let His Voice appeal in
W2:282.1  remains forever living in the joy of life. And this the choice to  recognize the Self Whom God created as the Son He loves and Who
W2:287.2  Son would be as You created him. What way but this could I expect to  recognize my Self and be at one with my Identity?
W2:288.1  come to You without my brother. And to know my Source, I first must  recognize what You created one with me. My brother's is the hand that

W2:316.2 Father, I would accept Your gifts today. I do not  recognize them. Yet I trust that You Who gave them will provide the

M:5.3  ultimate defiance in a direct form which the Son of God is forced to  recognize. It stands for all that he would hide from himself to

M:5.10  he has not made himself and must remain as God created him. They  recognize illusions can have no effect. The truth in their minds
M:7.2  himself that he has given the problem to One Who cannot fail, and  recognize that his own uncertainty is not love but fear and therefore
M:7.3  but hardly one to stay with. And so the teacher of God can only  recognize it for what it is and let it be corrected for him.
M:7.4 One of the most difficult temptations to  recognize is that to doubt a healing because of the appearance of
M:7.6  with the self to the exclusion of the patient. It is a failure to  recognize him as part of the self and thus represents a confusion in
M:10.3  wide range of things, past, present, and to come. One would have to  recognize in advance all the effects of his judgments on everyone and
M:12.6  suffer and die. Yet they are not deceived by what they see. They  recognize that to behold a dream figure as sick and separate is no
M:15.3  It is your function to prepare yourself to hear this judgment and to  recognize that it is true. One instant of complete belief in this,
M:16.6  will not work, but you are not in danger. You have no need of them.  Recognize this, and they will disappear. And only then will you

W1:95.8  failed to do what is required. This should, however, merely be  recognized as what it is—a refusal to let your mistakes be

W1:164.1 What time but now can truth be  recognized? The present is the only time there is. And so today, this

W1:165.3  and his peace of mind, his quiet rest, his calm awakening if he but  recognized where they abide? Would he not instantly prepare to go

Tx:16.32 The special love  relationship is an attempt to limit the destructive effects of hate

Tx:16.48  and to the inability to perceive either one as it is. The special  relationship is the triumph of this confusion. It is a kind of union

Tx:16.59 The search for the special  relationship is the sign that you equate yourself with the ego and
Tx:16.59  you equate yourself with the ego and not with God. For the special  relationship has value only to the ego. To the ego unless a
Tx:16.59  special relationship has value only to the ego. To the ego unless a  relationship has special value, it has no meaning, and it perceives
Tx:16.59  love as special. Yet this cannot be natural, for it is unlike the  relationship of God and His Son, and all relationships that are

Tx:16.61 The special  relationship is totally without meaning without a body. And if you

Tx:16.80  for the reality of your relationship with God. Praise be to your  relationship with Him and to no other. The truth lies here and
Tx:16.81 Forgive us our illusions, Father, and help us to accept our true  relationship with You in which there are no illusions and where none
Tx:17.16  But what you do not realize are all the reasons which go to make the  relationship unholy. For unholiness seeks to reinforce itself, as
Tx:17.17 In the unholy  relationship, it is not the body of the other with which union is
Tx:17.17  in the making, the maintaining, and the breaking off of the unholy  relationship is a move toward further fragmentation and unreality.
Tx:17.18 Time is indeed unkind to the unholy  relationship. For time is cruel in the ego's hands, as it is kind
Tx:17.18  as it is kind when used for gentleness. The attraction of the unholy  relationship begins to fade and to be questioned almost at once. Once
Tx:17.18  what this means—the more reality that enters into the unholy  relationship, the less satisfying it becomes. And the more the
Tx:17.19 The “ideal” of the unholy  relationship thus becomes one in which the reality of the other does
Tx:17.20  thoughts is the spark of beauty hidden in the ugliness of the unholy  relationship in which the hatred is remembered, yet there to come
Tx:17.20  in which the hatred is remembered, yet there to come alive as the  relationship is given to Him Who gives it life and beauty. That is
Tx:17.21  to lose the sight of it again. And you will let it transform the  relationship so you can see it more and more. For you will want it
Tx:17.22  spark of holiness must be safe, however hidden it may be, in every  relationship. For the Creator of the one relationship has left no
Tx:17.22  hidden it may be, in every relationship. For the Creator of the one  relationship has left no part of it without Himself.
Tx:17.23 This is the only part of the  relationship the Holy Spirit sees because He knows that only this is
Tx:17.23  sees because He knows that only this is true. You have made the  relationship unreal and therefore unholy by seeing it where it is not
Tx:17.26  your relationships and step between you and your fantasies. Let my  relationship to you be real to you, and let me bring reality to your
Tx:17.27 God established His  relationship with you to make you happy, and nothing you do which
Tx:17.27  is its only function. Because of His reason for creating His  relationship with you, the function of relationships became forever
Tx:17.28  you have given them is clearly not to make happy. But the holy  relationship shares God's purpose, rather than aiming to make a
Tx:17.28  rather than aiming to make a substitute for it. Every special  relationship which you have made is a substitute for God's Will and
Tx:17.29  as it does constantly, you answer with a substitute. Every special  relationship which you have ever undertaken has as its fundamental
Tx:17.29  that you will not hear the call of truth. In a sense the special  relationship was the ego's answer to the creation of the Holy Spirit,
Tx:17.30  about everything. And the truth is that the Holy Spirit is in close  relationship with you because in Him is your relationship with God
Tx:17.30  Holy Spirit is in close relationship with you because in Him is your  relationship with God restored to you. The relationship with Him has
Tx:17.30  because in Him is your relationship with God restored to you. The  relationship with Him has never been broken because the Holy Spirit
Tx:17.31  its “protection” is part of it, as insane as the whole. The special  relationship, which is its chief defense, must therefore be insane.
Tx:17.32  now in realizing that the thought system which the special  relationship protects is but a system of delusions. You recognize, at
Tx:17.32  at least in general terms, that the ego is insane. Yet the special  relationship still seems to you somehow to be “different.” Yet we
Tx:17.34 The special  relationship has the most imposing and deceptive frame of all the
Tx:17.42  place and you to yours, you will experience again the meaning of  relationship and know it to be true. Let us ascend in peace together
Tx:17.42  in every part of Him as in the whole. The whole reality of your  relationship with Him lies in our relationship to one another. The
Tx:17.42  whole. The whole reality of your relationship with Him lies in our  relationship to one another. The holy instant shines alike on all
Tx:17.43 The holy  relationship is the expression of the holy instant in living in this
Tx:17.43  always felt. Yet without expression, it is not remembered. The holy  relationship is a constant reminder of the experience in which the
Tx:17.43  relationship is a constant reminder of the experience in which the  relationship became what it is. And as the unholy relationship is a
Tx:17.43  in which the relationship became what it is. And as the unholy  relationship is a continuing hymn of hate in praise of its maker, so
Tx:17.43  is a continuing hymn of hate in praise of its maker, so is the holy  relationship a happy song of praise to the Redeemer of relationships.
Tx:17.44 The holy  relationship, a major step toward the perception of the real world,
Tx:17.44  the perception of the real world, is learned. It is the old unholy  relationship transformed and seen anew. The holy relationship is a
Tx:17.44  is the old unholy relationship transformed and seen anew. The holy  relationship is a phenomenal teaching accomplishment. In all its
Tx:17.44  and becomes accomplished, it represents the reversal of the unholy  relationship. Be comforted in this—the only difficult phase is the
Tx:17.44  the only difficult phase is the beginning. For here, the goal of the  relationship is abruptly shifted to the exact opposite of what it
Tx:17.44  opposite of what it was. This is the first result of offering the  relationship to the Holy Spirit to use for His purposes.
Tx:17.45  replaces yours. This is accomplished very rapidly, but it makes the  relationship seem disturbed, disjunctive, and even quite distressing.
Tx:17.45  and even quite distressing. The reason is quite clear. For the  relationship as it is, is out of line with its own goal and clearly
Tx:17.45  this point, and the pursuit of the old goal reestablished in another  relationship. For once the unholy relationship has accepted the goal
Tx:17.45  old goal reestablished in another relationship. For once the unholy  relationship has accepted the goal of holiness, it can never again be
Tx:17.46  the ego becomes extremely intense with this shift in goals. For the  relationship has not as yet been changed sufficiently to make its
Tx:17.46  new purpose. The conflict between the goal and the structure of the  relationship is so apparent that they cannot coexist. Yet now the
Tx:17.46  Yet now the goal will not be changed. Set firmly in the unholy  relationship, there is no course except to change the relationship to
Tx:17.46  in the unholy relationship, there is no course except to change the  relationship to fit the goal. Until this happy solution is seen and
Tx:17.46  is seen and accepted as the only way out of the conflict, the  relationship seems to be severely strained.
Tx:17.47  purpose could induce a complete change of mind about what the whole  relationship is for. As this change develops and is finally
Tx:17.47  at the beginning, the situation is experienced as very precarious. A  relationship undertaken by two individuals for their unholy purposes
Tx:17.47  suddenly has holiness for its goal. As these two contemplate their  relationship from the point of view of this new purpose, they are
Tx:17.47  new purpose, they are inevitably appalled. Their perception of the  relationship may even become quite disorganized. And yet, the former
Tx:17.48  introduced. If you believed the Holy Spirit was there to accept the  relationship, why would you now not still believe that He is there to
Tx:17.48  in what but seems to be a trying time. The goal is set. And your  relationship has sanity as its purpose. For now you find yourselves
Tx:17.48  has sanity as its purpose. For now you find yourselves in an insane  relationship, recognized as such in the light of its goal.
Tx:17.49 Now the ego counsels thus—substitute for this another  relationship to which your former goal was quite appropriate. You can
Tx:17.49  you shining conviction. Abandon Him not now, nor each other. This  relationship has been reborn as holy.
Tx:17.50  many opportunities to blame each other for the “failure” of your  relationship, for it will seem at times to have no purpose. A sense
Tx:17.50  found, and do not now breathe life into your failing egos. For your  relationship has not been disrupted. It has been saved.
Tx:17.52  will leave you comfortless, for God Himself has blessed your holy  relationship. Join in His blessing, and withhold not yours upon it.
Tx:17.52  And welcome it together, for it has come to join you together in a  relationship in which all the Sonship is together blessed.
Tx:17.53 You undertook together to invite the Holy Spirit into your  relationship. He could not have entered otherwise. Although you may
Tx:17.65  something has been done and where you see it done. A situation is a  relationship, being the joining of thoughts. If problems are
Tx:17.66  for bodies cannot solve anything. And it is their intrusion on the  relationship, an error in your thoughts about the situation, which
Tx:17.67  situation. But remember this: the goal of holiness was set for your  relationship and not by you. You did not set it because holiness
Tx:17.67  it because holiness cannot be seen except through faith, and your  relationship was not holy because your faith in one another was so
Tx:17.68  you find yourself is but a means to meet the purpose set for your  relationship. See it as something else, and you are faithless. Use
Tx:17.69  to each other and used your faithlessness against each other. No  relationship is holy unless its holiness goes with it everywhere. As
Tx:17.71  to everyone. There is no situation which does not involve your whole  relationship in every aspect and complete in every part. You can
Tx:17.71  and keep the situation holy. For it shares the purpose of your whole  relationship and derives its meaning from it.
Tx:17.72  faith that you give to each other, or you are faithless to your own  relationship. Your faith will call the others to share your purpose,
Tx:17.72  room for truth.] When the Holy Spirit changed the purpose of your  relationship by exchanging yours for His, the goal He placed there
Tx:17.73  no longer alone. For loneliness in God must be a dream. You whose  relationship shares the Holy Spirit's goal are set apart from
Tx:17.74  the clear and unequivocal demonstration of the meaning of every  relationship and every situation, seen as a whole. Faith has accepted
Tx:17.79 When you accepted truth as the goal for your  relationship, you became givers of peace as surely as your Father
Tx:18.1  one is judged more valuable and the other is replaced by him. The  relationship in which the substitution occurred is thus fragmented
Tx:18.4  rests upon it. Everything you see reflects it, and every special  relationship which you have ever made is part of it.
Tx:18.9 In your  relationship, where He has taken charge of everything at your
Tx:18.9  is the radiant truth to which the Holy Spirit has committed your  relationship. Let Him bring it here, where you would have it be. Give
Tx:18.11 Heaven is restored to all the Sonship through your  relationship, for in it lies the Sonship, whole and beautiful, safe
Tx:18.11  unto the truth in you and love has shined upon you, blessing your  relationship with truth. God and His whole creation have entered it
Tx:18.11  creation have entered it together. How lovely and how holy is your  relationship, with the truth shining upon it! Heaven beholds it and
Tx:18.11  that you have let it come to you. [And God Himself is glad that your  relationship is as it was created.] The universe within you stands
Tx:18.13  with healing and uniting comfort. This is offered you in your holy  relationship. Accept it here, and you will give as you have accepted.
Tx:18.19  idea that you can change it. In your waking dreams, the special  relationship [has a special place. It is the means by which you try
Tx:18.20  to happy dreams. That is what the Holy Spirit does in your special  relationship. He does not destroy it nor snatch it away from you.
Tx:18.20  as a help to make His purpose real to you.] Your special  relationship will remain, not as a source of pain and guilt, but as a
Tx:18.21 Your special  relationship will be a means for undoing guilt in everyone blessed
Tx:18.21  be a means for undoing guilt in everyone blessed through your holy  relationship. It will be a happy dream, and one which you will share
Tx:18.21  of everyone. And He will waken everyone through you who offered your  relationship to Him. If you but recognized His gratitude! Or mine
Tx:18.22  make a world that is unreal. The wish to make it is incredible. Your  relationship has become one in which the wish has been removed
Tx:18.23  and it has come because you have been willing to let your special  relationship meet its conditions. In your relationship, the Holy
Tx:18.23  to let your special relationship meet its conditions. In your  relationship, the Holy Spirit has gently laid the real world—the
Tx:18.27  would leave you in the darkness you agreed to leave with me? In your  relationship is this world's light. And fear must disappear before
Tx:18.27  You cannot take it back. You have accepted God. The holiness of your  relationship is established in Heaven. You do not understand what you
Tx:18.29 In your  relationship, you have joined with me in bringing Heaven to the Son
Tx:18.29  forever. My need for you, joined with me in the holy light of your  relationship, is your need for salvation. Would I not give you what
Tx:18.41  the Atonement would have no meaning. The holy instant, your holy  relationship, the Holy Spirit's teaching, and all the means by which
Tx:18.43 Through your holy  relationship, reborn and blessed in every holy instant which you do
Tx:18.45 It is no dream to love your brother as yourself. Nor is your holy  relationship a dream. All that remains of dreams within it is that it
Tx:18.45  All that remains of dreams within it is that it is still a special  relationship. Yet it is very useful to the Holy Spirit, Who has a
Tx:18.45  not happiness. Let Him fulfill the function that He gave to your  relationship by accepting it for you, and nothing will be wanting
Tx:18.46 When you feel the holiness of your  relationship is threatened by anything, stop instantly and offer the
Tx:18.46  rather have. He will never fail in this. But forget not that your  relationship is one, and so it must be that whatever threatens the
Tx:18.67 Your way will be different, not in purpose but in means. A holy  relationship is a means of saving time. One instant spent together
Tx:18.82 Be sure of this—love has entered your special  relationship and entered fully at your weak request. You do not
Tx:18.97 Your  relationship has been uprooted from the world of shadows, and its
Tx:19.13 Your holy  relationship, with its new purpose, offers you faith to give unto
Tx:19.14  and come to it together. There will you see the miracle of your  relationship as it was made again through faith. And there it is that
Tx:19.21  armor, its protection, and the fundamental purpose of the special  relationship in its interpretation.
Tx:19.33  to His and in eternal opposition to Him and to each other. Your holy  relationship has as its purpose now the goal of proving this is
Tx:19.36  your Redeemer would have you look upon each other as yourself. Your  relationship is now a temple of healing—a place where all the weary
Tx:19.36  for all after the journey. And it is brought nearer to all by your  relationship.
Tx:19.37  unhindered. The extension of the Holy Spirit's purpose from your  relationship to others to bring them gently in [has already begun.
Tx:19.38  where you will rest in Him. He answered you and entered your  relationship. Would you not now return His graciousness and enter
Tx:19.38  Would you not now return His graciousness and enter into a  relationship with Him? For it is He Who offered your relationship the
Tx:19.38  enter into a relationship with Him? For it is He Who offered your  relationship the gift of holiness, without which it would have been
Tx:19.44  than to surmount your little wall. For in the miracle of your  relationship, without this barrier, is every miracle contained. There
Tx:19.44  answered, He Who answered you would call. His home is in your holy  relationship. Do not attempt to stand between Him and His holy
Tx:19.44  for it is yours. But let Him quietly extend the miracle of your  relationship to everyone contained in it, as it was given.
Tx:19.55  whispering is ever heard. This is a feast which honors your holy  relationship and at which everyone is welcomed as an honored guest.
Tx:19.55  you there, as long ago I promised and promise still. For in your new  relationship am I made welcome. And where I am made welcome, there I
Tx:19.63  Father, not a little mound of clay, to be your home. In your holy  relationship is your Father's Son. He has not lost communion with Him
Tx:19.64  no obstacle which you can place before our union, for in your holy  relationship, I am there already. We will surmount all obstacles
Tx:19.66 From your holy  relationship truth proclaims the truth, and love looks on itself.
Tx:19.67  freedom to each other and so releasing me. I am within your holy  relationship, yet you would imprison me behind the obstacles you
Tx:19.71  through the body and not find pain. It is essential that this  relationship be understood, for it is one the ego sees as proof of
Tx:19.72  all of the ego's heavy investment in the body. And it is this insane  relationship which it keeps hidden and yet feeds upon. To you it
Tx:19.77 To you in whose special  relationship the Holy Spirit entered, it is given to release and be
Tx:19.86  The end of sin, which nestles quietly in the safety of your  relationship, protected by your union, ready to grow into a mighty
Tx:20.17  interference which makes it difficult for you to recognize your holy  relationship for what it is.
Tx:20.21 Who in a holy  relationship can long remain unholy? The world the holy see is one
Tx:20.24  true. You asked this puff of madness for the meaning of your unholy  relationship and adjusted it according to its insane answer. How
Tx:20.24  in both of you to bless the other? That is the purpose of your holy  relationship. Ask not the means of its attainment of the one thing
Tx:20.33  by two, yet the beginning of another world goes with them. Each holy  relationship must enter here to learn its special function in the
Tx:20.37 In this world, God's Son comes closest to himself in a holy  relationship. There he begins to find the certainty his Father has in
Tx:20.38  the unity of love proclaimed and given welcome. Peace to your holy  relationship, which has the power to hold the unity of the Son of God
Tx:20.41  that sees the body has no use which serves the purpose of a holy  relationship. And while you look upon each other thus, the means and
Tx:20.42  no more. Here, then, is everything. Here is the loveliness of your  relationship, with means and end in perfect harmony already. Here is
Tx:20.45 The meaning of the Son of God lies solely in his  relationship with his Creator. If it were elsewhere, it would rest
Tx:20.45  wholly loving and forever. Yet has the Son of God invented an unholy  relationship between him and his Father. His real relationship is one
Tx:20.45  invented an unholy relationship between him and his Father. His real  relationship is one of perfect union and unbroken continuity. The one
Tx:20.46  the contrast better than the experience of both a holy and an unholy  relationship. The first is based on love and rests on it, serene and
Tx:20.46  it, serene and undisturbed. The body does not intrude upon it. Any  relationship in which the body enters is based not on love, but on
Tx:20.47  cannot love. They do not understand what they are offered, and any  relationship in which they enter has lost its meaning. They live in
Tx:20.49 The Holy Spirit's temple is not a body, but a  relationship. The body is an isolated speck of darkness; a hidden
Tx:20.49  enclosure carefully protected, yet hiding nothing. Here the unholy  relationship escapes reality and seeks for crumbs to keep itself
Tx:20.51  are idolaters no longer. The Holy Spirit's purpose lies safe in your  relationship and not your bodies. You have escaped the body. Where
Tx:20.52 There is no order in relationships. They either are or not. An unholy  relationship is no relationship. It is a state of isolation which
Tx:20.52  relationships. They either are or not. An unholy relationship is no  relationship. It is a state of isolation which seems to be what it is
Tx:20.52  not. No more than that. The instant that the mad idea of making your  relationship with God unholy seemed to be possible, all your
Tx:20.53  and its unlimited beneficence? Is the malevolence of the unholy  relationship, so seeming powerful and so bitterly misunderstood and
Tx:20.54 The holy  relationship reflects the true relationship the Son of God has with
Tx:20.54 The holy relationship reflects the true  relationship the Son of God has with his Father in reality. The Holy
Tx:20.57 You have a real  relationship, and it has meaning. It is as like your real
Tx:20.57  a real relationship, and it has meaning. It is as like your real  relationship with God as equal things are like unto each other.
Tx:20.57  with you. Yet what is that to those who have been given one true  relationship beyond the body? Can they be long held back from looking
Tx:20.57  the face of Christ? And can they long withhold the memory of their  relationship with their Father from themselves and keep remembrance
Tx:20.58  means and end and how these must be brought in line before your holy  relationship can bring you only joy. But we have also said the means
Tx:20.59 The period of discomfort that follows the sudden change in a  relationship from sin to holiness should now be almost over. To the
Tx:20.62 The body is the means by which the ego tries to make the unholy  relationship seem real. The unholy instant is the time of bodies. But
Tx:20.65  the Holy Spirit offers you to serve His purpose. How can a holy  relationship achieve its purpose through the means of sin? Judgment
Tx:20.68  not willingly be free of misery and learn again of joy? Your holy  relationship offers all this to you. As it was given you, so will be
Tx:20.69  his sinlessness, as it is yours. And bless the Son of God in your  relationship, nor see in him what you have made of him.
Tx:20.72  before you. All that could save you, you will never see. Your holy  relationship, the source of your salvation, will be deprived of
Tx:21.13  course. It is the same small willingness you need to have your whole  relationship transformed to joy; the little gift you offer to the
Tx:21.29  is to set a limit, and any brother with whom you have a limited  relationship you hate. You may attempt to keep the bargain in the
Tx:21.29  to ease the guilt that comes from the accepted purpose of the  relationship. And that is why the Holy Spirit must change its purpose
Tx:21.34  sees perception as a means to teach you that the vision of a holy  relationship is all you want to see. Then will you give your faith to
Tx:21.43  from their belief that their identity lies in the ego. A holy  relationship is one in which you join with what is part of you in
Tx:21.47  kept it out so long. Heaven has come because it found a home in your  relationship on earth. And earth can hold no longer what has been
Tx:21.90  For you have asked that nothing stand between the holiness of your  relationship and your awareness of its holiness.
Tx:22.2 The holiness of your  relationship forgives you both, undoing the effects of what you both
Tx:22.2  justified. And all this would be real if sin were so. For an unholy  relationship is based on differences, where each one thinks the other
Tx:22.3 A holy  relationship starts from a different premise. Each one has looked
Tx:22.3  does he stand, but close enough not to return to earth. For this  relationship has Heaven's holiness. How far from home can a
Tx:22.3  For this relationship has Heaven's holiness. How far from home can a  relationship so like to Heaven be?
Tx:22.4 Think what a holy  relationship can teach! Here is belief in differences undone. Here is
Tx:22.4  where you recognize the Son of God. For what is born into a holy  relationship can never end.
Tx:22.11 So in each holy  relationship is the ability to communicate instead of separate
Tx:22.11  is the ability to communicate instead of separate reborn. Yet a holy  relationship, so recently reborn itself from an unholy relationship
Tx:22.11  Yet a holy relationship, so recently reborn itself from an unholy  relationship and yet more ancient than the old illusion that it has
Tx:22.12  yet as old as He, a tiny newcomer, dependent on the holiness of your  relationship to let Him live.
Tx:22.15  For He is always drawn unto Himself. What is as like Him as a holy  relationship? And what draws you together draws Him to you. Here are
Tx:22.15  to Christ is drawn to God as surely as both are drawn to every holy  relationship, the home prepared for them as earth is turned to Heaven.
Tx:22.26  what he is if God would have it so. What God has given to your holy  relationship is there. For what He gave the Holy Spirit to give to
Tx:22.27  it from the bright endless circle that extends forever is your holy  relationship, beloved of God Himself. How still it rests, in time and
Tx:22.37 A holy  relationship, however newly born, must value holiness above all else.
Tx:22.37  Unholy values will produce confusion, and in awareness. In an unholy  relationship, each one is valued because he seems to justify the
Tx:22.37  causing sin by his desire to have sin real. Yet reason sees a holy  relationship as what it is—a common state of mind, where both give
Tx:22.44  learned it was not given him alone. Such is the function of a holy  relationship—to receive together and give as you received. Standing
Tx:22.54 This holy  relationship, lovely in its innocence, mighty in strength, and
Tx:22.54  it can be misused, and nothing given it but will be used. This holy  relationship has the power to heal all pain, regardless of its form.
Tx:22.55 Before a holy  relationship there is no sin. The form of error is no longer seen,
Tx:22.55  was a mistake.” And then the same Atonement you accepted in your  relationship corrects the error and lays a part of Heaven in its
Tx:22.56  that serve the timeless. And no illusion can disturb the peace of a  relationship which has become the means of peace.
Tx:22.64 This is the function of your holy  relationship. For what one thinks the other will experience with him.
Tx:22.64  when you have accepted it with gladness, you will realize that your  relationship is a reflection of the union of the Creator and His Son.
Tx:22.65  creation joined. Would you regret you cannot fear alone when your  relationship can also teach the power of love is there, which makes
Tx:23.23 Think what this seems to do to the  relationship between the Father and the Son. Now it appears that they
Tx:23.23  and by the other. Now are they different and enemies. And their  relationship is one of opposition, just as the separate aspects of
Tx:23.50 The lovely light of your  relationship is like the love of God. It cannot yet assume the holy
Tx:23.50  your little gifts and make them mighty. Also He understands how your  relationship is raised above the battleground, in it no more. This is
Tx:24.9  Is it not always your belief your specialness is limited by your  relationship? And is not this the “enemy” that makes you both
Tx:24.10  not the same and none your Father does not share with you. For your  relationship has been made clean of special goals. And would you now
Tx:24.23  establish sin love's substitute and serve it faithfully. And no  relationship that holds its purpose dear but clings to murder as
Tx:26.47  by sanity. Sickness and sin are seen as consequence and cause in a  relationship kept hidden from awareness that it may be carefully
Tx:26.73  take forever. The change of purpose the Holy Spirit brought to your  relationship has in it all effects that you will see. They can be
Tx:26.89  And in this game do you perceive one purpose for your whole  relationship. And this you seek to add unto the purpose given it. The
Tx:28.61 The beautiful  relationship you have with all your brothers is a part of you because
W1:13.8  This is our first attempt at stating an explicit cause and effect  relationship of a kind which you are very inexperienced in

M:I.3  exclusively by what you think you are and what you believe the  relationship of others is to you. In the formal teaching situation,
M:2.5  speaks to any two who join together for learning purposes. The  relationship is holy because of that purpose, and God has promised to

Tx:15.46  to limit love to part of the Sonship is to bring guilt into your  relationships and thus make them unreal. If you seek to separate out
Tx:15.47  no special love, how can you understand it? To believe that special  relationships, with special love, can offer you salvation is the
Tx:15.48 Because of guilt, all special  relationships have some elements of fear in them. And this is why
Tx:15.48  as Interpreter of what you have made, the Holy Spirit uses special  relationships, which you have chosen to support the ego, as a
Tx:15.49  no one is special. Yet He also perceives that you have made special  relationships, which He would purify and not let you destroy. However
Tx:15.51 The ego's use of  relationships is so fragmented that it frequently goes even further—
Tx:15.52 Everyone on earth has formed special  relationships, and although this is not so in Heaven, the Holy Spirit
Tx:15.54 All your  relationships are blessed in the holy instant because the blessing is
Tx:15.56  and find peace within it. Under the Holy Spirit's teaching, all  relationships are seen as total commitments, yet they do not conflict
Tx:15.58  perceive yourself as weak. Yet there is another interpretation of  relationships which transcends the concept of loss of power
Tx:15.65  on which the ego embarks is special. The ego establishes  relationships only to get something. And it would keep the giver

Tx:15.69  name of Him Who would release him, let us look more closely at the  relationships which the ego contrives and let the Holy Spirit judge
Tx:15.71 In these insane  relationships, the attraction of what you do not want seems to be
Tx:15.71  forgiveness that the ego can ensure the guilt which holds all its  relationships together.
Tx:15.72 Yet they only seem to be together. For  relationships, to the ego, mean only that bodies are together. It is
Tx:15.74  and this attempt is the only basis which the ego accepts for special  relationships. Guilt is the only need the ego has, and as long as you
Tx:15.80 Hear Him gladly and learn of Him that you have need of no special  relationships at all. You but seek in them what you have thrown away.
Tx:15.82  not His creation. Nothing that ever was created but is yours. Your  relationships are with the universe. And this universe, being of God,
Tx:15.84  let Him Whose teaching is only of God teach you the only meaning of  relationships. For God created the only relationship which has
Tx:15.86  Yet it remains the only means by which you can establish real  relationships.
Tx:15.87 Real  relationships have no limits, having been established by God. In the
Tx:15.87  the Great Rays replace the body in awareness, the recognition of  relationships without limits is given you. But to see this, it is
Tx:15.89  in Heaven, where you are complete and quiet in such sure and loving  relationships that any limit is impossible. Would you not exchange
Tx:15.89  that any limit is impossible. Would you not exchange your little  relationships for this? For the body is little and limited, and only
Tx:15.98  you or another? You seek to answer this question in your special  relationships, in which you are both destroyer and destroyed in part,
Tx:15.101  fearful to you. And you would bargain with them for a few special  relationships in which you think you see some scraps of safety. Do
Tx:15.112  Make this year different by making it all the same. And let all your  relationships be made holy for you. This is our will. Amen.

Tx:16.42 If special  relationships of any kind would hinder God's completion, can they
Tx:16.59  for it is unlike the relationship of God and His Son, and all  relationships that are unlike this one must be unnatural. For God
Tx:16.67  you and look not back with longing on the travesty it made of your  relationships. Now no one need suffer, for you have come too far to
Tx:16.72  and seeks retribution of you. The fantasies it brings to the special  relationships it chooses in which to act out its hate are fantasies
Tx:16.80  to His majesty. To join in close relationship with Him is to accept  relationships as real and through their reality to give over all
Tx:17.15  into unholy alliances which support the ego's goals and make your  relationships the witness to its power. It is these shadow figures
Tx:17.16 The shadow figures always speak for vengeance, and all  relationships into which they enter are totally insane. Without
Tx:17.16  into which they enter are totally insane. Without exception, these  relationships have as their purpose the exclusion of the truth about
Tx:17.16  and seems to you to go by the name of love. And finally why all such  relationships become the attempt at union through the body, for only
Tx:17.16  seen as means for vengeance. That bodies are central to all unholy  relationships is evident. Your own experience has taught you this.
Tx:17.18  doubt must enter in because its purpose is impossible. The only such  relationships which retain the fantasies that center on them are
Tx:17.19  His interpretation of the body as a means of communication into  relationships whose only purpose is separation from reality? What
Tx:17.21  must be undone. Let Him uncover the hidden spark of beauty in your  relationships and show it to you. Its loveliness will so attract you
Tx:17.24  against the present. For the present is forgiveness. Therefore, the  relationships which the unholy alliance dictates are not perceived
Tx:17.26 My holy brothers, I would enter into all your  relationships and step between you and your fantasies. Let my
Tx:17.26  the holy purpose of Atonement be lost to you in dreams of vengeance.  Relationships in which such dreams are cherished have excluded me.
Tx:17.27  His reason for creating His relationship with you, the function of  relationships became forever “to make happy.” And nothing else. To
Tx:17.28  that the Holy Spirit would not deprive you of your special  relationships but would transform them. And by that all that is meant
Tx:17.29 You have made very real  relationships even in this world which you do not recognize simply

Tx:17.43  is the holy relationship a happy song of praise to the Redeemer of  relationships.
Tx:17.45  that seemed to give it meaning. Now it seems to make no sense. Many  relationships have been broken off at this point, and the pursuit of
Tx:18.2  sees as one. But everything seems to come between the fragmented  relationships the ego sponsors to destroy.
Tx:18.58  far exceeds the dream of freedom sometimes experienced in special  relationships. It is a sense of actual escape from limitations.
Tx:19.51  love would look upon is meaningless to fear and quite invisible.  Relationships in this world are the result of how the world is seen.
Tx:20.17  any kind are of the ego. For it is the ego's fixed belief that all  relationships depend upon adjustments to make of them what it would
Tx:20.17  upon adjustments to make of them what it would have them be. Direct  relationships, in which there are no interferences, are always seen
Tx:20.17  seen as dangerous. The ego is the self-appointed mediator of all  relationships, making whatever adjustments it deems necessary and
Tx:20.47  hide and keep their secrets hidden along with them. And they have no  relationships, for no one else is welcome there. They smile on no
Tx:20.48  obscure and hidden from the sun. It does not seek for power, but for  relationships. The body is the ego's chosen weapon for seeking power
Tx:20.48  The body is the ego's chosen weapon for seeking power through  relationships. And its relationships must be unholy, for what they
Tx:20.48  ego's chosen weapon for seeking power through relationships. And its  relationships must be unholy, for what they are, it does not even
Tx:20.50  from those who worship them. This is the temple dedicated to no  relationships and no return. Here is the “mystery” of separation
Tx:20.52 There is no order in  relationships. They either are or not. An unholy relationship is no
Tx:20.52  your relationship with God unholy seemed to be possible, all your  relationships were made meaningless. In that unholy instant, time was

Tx:20.62  the body, you have chosen judgment and not vision. For vision, like  relationships, has no order. You either see or not.
Tx:20.63  in darkness is your brother's reality imagined as a body, in unholy  relationships with other bodies, serving the cause of sin an instant
Tx:21.29 All special  relationships have sin as their goal. For they are bargains with
Tx:23.30  salvation. It has no substitute, and there is only one. And all your  relationships have but the purpose of seizing it and making it your

Tx:15.19  remain uncertain, it can be only because you have not given complete  release. And because of this, you have not given one single instant
Tx:15.33  your plan for His. Rather, join with me in His that we may  release all those who would be bound, proclaiming together that the

Tx:18.38  to Him Who gives it. Release yourselves to Him Whose function is  release. Do not assume His function for Him. Give Him but what He
Tx:18.53  you not welcome and support the shift from fantasies of vengeance to  release from them? Your perception of the body can clearly be sick,
Tx:18.61  would be, gaining, not losing, a sense of self. In these instants of  release from physical restrictions, you experience much of what
Tx:18.66  future. You cannot prepare for it without placing it in the future.  Release is given you the instant you desire it. Many have spent a
Tx:18.66  and very time consuming, for all of them look to the future for  release from a state of present unworthiness and inadequacy.

Tx:19.103  they attack. This is your brother, crucified by sin, and waiting for  release from pain. Would you not offer him forgiveness, when only he

Tx:23.26 There can be no  release and no escape. Atonement thus becomes a myth, and vengeance,

Tx:26.11 The Holy Spirit offers you  release from every problem that you think you have. They are the same

Tx:19.27  not repeat it; you will merely stop and let it go unless the guilt  remains. For then you will but change the form of sin, granting that

Tx:22.47  with Him? It is your Father Whom you would defend against. Yet it  remains impossible to keep love out. God rests with you in quiet,
Tx:22.60  the fear of God in place, unmovable and solid as a rock. While this  remains, so will it seem to be.
Tx:23.47 The fear of God is fear of life and not of death. Yet He  remains the only place of safety. In Him is no attack, and no

Tx:26.85 What then  remains to be undone for you to realize Their Presence? Only this—
Tx:27.34  within itself it is the same. The other half of what it represents  remains unknown but is not canceled out. And thus is God left free to
Tx:27.34  fade, and nothing which the eyes have ever seen or ears have heard  remains to be perceived.

W1:92.7  share. It judges and condemns but does not love. In darkness it  remains to hide itself and dreams that it is strong and conquering, a
W1:96.16 Your Self knows that you cannot fail today. Perhaps your mind  remains uncertain yet a little while. Be not dismayed by this. The
W1:107.1  whence they came. From dust to dust they come and go, for only truth  remains.

W1:122.5  for your salvation cannot change, nor can it fail. Be thankful it  remains exactly as He planned it. Changelessly it stands before you,
W1:123.1  back and no implacable resistance to the truth. A bit of wavering  remains, some small objections, and a little hesitance, but we can
W1:124.2  recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind, yet still  remains with us as we walk on.
W1:126.5  sometimes choose to give indulgently an undeserved reprieve. Yet it  remains your right to let the sinner not escape the justified
W1:126.7  must heal the mind that gives, for giving is receiving. What  remains as unreceived has not been given, but what has been given
W1:129.4  yet surely understood. Communication, unambiguous and plain as day,  remains unlimited for all eternity. And God Himself speaks to His Son
W1:130.3  seen in darkness that is real? Truth is eclipsed by fear, and what  remains is but imagined. Yet what can be real in blind imaginings of
W1:130.5  overlap of any kind. Seek for the one; the other disappears. But one  remains. They are the range of choice beyond which your decision
W1:130.12  what you will behold is hell indeed. Yet the release of Heaven still  remains within your range of choice to take the place of everything
W1:131.6 No one  remains in hell, for no one can abandon his Creator nor affect His
W1:131.8 Heaven  remains your one alternative to this strange world you made and all
W1:132.3  thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find. The present now  remains the only time. Here in the present is the world set free. For
W1:135.18  consider incompatible with your beliefs of your reality. Yet what  remains is meaningless indeed. For it is your reality which is the
W1:135.25  you. But they are answers to another kind of question which  remains unanswered yet in need of answering until the Answer comes to
W1:136.5  Your not remembering is but the sign that this decision still  remains in force as far as your desires are concerned.
W1:136.12 God knows not of your plans to change His Will. The universe  remains unheeding of the laws by which you thought to govern it. And
W1:136.19  response at all is in the mind to what the body does. Its usefulness  remains and nothing more.
W1:137.1 Today's idea  remains the central thought on which salvation rests. For healing is
W1:137.6  and more stable than the mind. And love becomes a dream, while fear  remains the one reality that can be seen and justified and fully
W1:138.6  which settles all decisions. If you could decide the rest, this one  remains unsolved. But when you solve this one, the others are
W1:140.2  him well. Yet he has not awakened from the dream, and so his mind  remains exactly as it was before. He has not seen the light that
W1:151.5  you believe that this is so with stubborn certainty. Yet underneath  remains the hidden doubt that what it shows you as reality with such
W1:151.14  was falsely added. All the threads of fantasy are gone, and what  remains is unified into a perfect thought that offers its perfection
W1:153.19  that His strength abides in us. We will remind ourselves that He  remains beside us through the day and never leaves our weakness
W1:156.3  He is there must be holiness as well as life. No attribute of His  remains unshared by everything that lives. What lives is holy as
W1:156.7  to God is near. And in the little interval of doubt which still  remains, you may perhaps lose sight of your Companion, and mistake
W1:160.1  to yourself. And thus you are unknown to you. What is your Self  remains an alien to the part of you which thinks that it is real but
W1:160.6  is no stranger now. The miracle will come. For in his home his Self  remains. It asked no stranger in and took no alien thought to be
W1:160.8  nor is your Creator stranger made to you. Whom God has joined  remains forever one, at home in Him, no stranger to Himself.

W1:165.4  Conviction lies within it. Till you welcome it as yours, uncertainty  remains. Yet God is fair. Sureness is not required to receive what

Tx:4.29  attitudes are ego-based. This will not last. Be patient awhile and  remember that the outcome is as certain as God.
Tx:4.54  which therefore makes it profoundly afraid. In the ego's language,  remember, “to have” and “to be” are different, but they are identical
Tx:4.83 The essential thing to  remember is that the ego does not recognize the real source of its
Tx:4.88  from the ego by humbling it or controlling it or punishing it.  Remember that the ego and the Soul do not know each other. The
Tx:4.99  creation gives everything, since it can create only like itself.  Remember that in being there is no difference between “having” and
Tx:5.5  wholly joyous, your mind cannot have what it does not choose to be.  Remember that the Soul knows no difference between “being” and
Tx:5.22  voice through another will. The Holy Spirit calls you both to  remember and to forget. You have chosen to be in a state of
Tx:5.29  and to bring it back into the Oneness in which it was created.  Remember that “yoke” means “join together” and “burden” means
Tx:5.59  to side with Heaven or earth, as it elects. But again, let us  remember that both are in you. In Heaven there is no guilt, because
Tx:5.66  learned it. But again, your decision can be unmade as well as made.  Remember, though, that the alternatives are unalterable.

Tx:9.98  therefore means that you love Him and that you know He loves you.  Remember that what you deny, you must have known. And if you accept
Tx:9.100  you cannot die. But you can confuse yourself with things that do.  Remember, though, that to do this is blasphemy, for it means that you

Tx:10.23 When you are weary,  remember you have hurt yourself. Your Comforter will rest you, but

Tx:10.57 Would you  remember the Father? Accept His Son, and you will remember Him.
Tx:10.57 Would you remember the Father? Accept His Son, and you will  remember Him. Nothing can demonstrate that His Son is unworthy, for
Tx:11.15  withdraw that power, remembering that all power is of God. You can  remember this for all the Sonship. Do not allow your brother not to
Tx:11.15  remember this for all the Sonship. Do not allow your brother not to  remember, for his forgetfulness is yours. But your remembering is
Tx:11.15  of your brother as the healing of yourself is thus the way to  remember God. For you forgot your brothers with Him, and God's answer
Tx:11.15  with Him, and God's answer to your forgetting is but the way to  remember.
Tx:11.17  Remember what we said about the frightening perceptions of little
Tx:11.19  by God, and you must accomplish it because it is His Will. Awake and  remember your purpose, for it is your will to do so. What has been
Tx:11.26  with this belief, and if you attack, you are reinforcing it.  Remember that those who attack are poor. Their poverty asks for
Tx:11.57  God gave you Heaven. Through Him your Father calls His Son to  remember. The awakening of His Son begins with his investment in the
Tx:11.58 When you have seen this real world, as you will surely do, you will  remember us. Yet you must learn the cost of sleeping and refuse to
Tx:11.66  For He will send you His witnesses if you will but look upon them.  Remember always that you see what you seek, for what you seek you
Tx:11.74  Remember, then, that whenever you look without and react unfavorably
Tx:11.76 When you are tempted to yield to the desire for death,  remember that I did not die. You will realize that this is true when
Tx:11.79  You who knew have forgotten, and unless He had given you a way to  remember, you would have condemned yourselves to oblivion.
Tx:11.81 You have but to ask for this memory, and you will  remember. Yet the memory of God cannot shine in a mind which has made
Tx:11.81  it so. For the memory of God can dawn only in a mind that wills to  remember and that has relinquished the insane desire to control
Tx:11.84  beholding it is total perception. And as you look upon it, you will  remember that it was always so. Nothingness will become invisible,
Tx:11.89  for His Son, He wills to remove all guilt from his mind that he may  remember his Father in peace. For peace and guilt are antithetical,
Tx:12.9  remain between you and the remembrance of your Father, for you will  remember His guiltless Son, who did not die because he is immortal.
Tx:12.26  the past is the only aspect of time that is meaningful. You will  remember that we said its emphasis on guilt enables it to ensure its

Tx:12.72  to undertake a foolish journey that would lead away from light,  remember what you really want and say,
Tx:12.76  home. Give thanks to every part of you that you have taught how to  remember you. Thus does the Son of God give thanks unto his Father
Tx:13.16  for all your brothers. For so you learn that it is true for you.  Remember always that it is impossible to condemn the Son of God in
Tx:13.27  When he has looked within and seen the radiance there, he will  remember how much his Father loves him. And it will seem incredible
Tx:13.28 You who have been unmerciful unto yourselves do not  remember your Father's Love. And looking without mercy upon your

Tx:13.46  that was not created for you and by you in return. For how can you  remember what was never true or not remember what has always been? It

Tx:14.38  and interposed between what always was and now. The past which you  remember never was and represents only the denial of what always was.
Tx:14.55 It is impossible to  remember God in secret and alone. For remembering Him means you are
Tx:14.55  alone. For remembering Him means you are not alone and willing to  remember it. Take no thought for yourself, for no thought you hold is
Tx:14.55  for yourself, for no thought you hold is for yourself. If you would  remember your Father, let the Holy Spirit order your thoughts and

Tx:15.14  love for everyone, for God, and for yourself. As long as it takes to  remember immortality and your immortal creations who share it with
Tx:15.24  responsibility you owe yourself, and one which you must learn to  remember all the time. The lesson will seem hard at first, but you
Tx:15.24  a tribute to your power. You who have sought and found littleness,  remember this: Every decision which you make stems from what you

Tx:15.33  will we let no one forget what you would remember. And thus will you  remember it.

Tx:15.63  language of communication, which you know perfectly, you will not  remember.
Tx:15.75 Yet  remember this—to be with a body is not communication. And if you
Tx:15.79  as clearly as He knows forgiveness is release, He will teach you to  remember that forgiveness is not loss but your salvation. And that in
Tx:15.90  no idea of all the loveliness that you could see. But this you must  remember—the attraction of guilt opposes the attraction of God. His
Tx:15.109  the remembrance of the Father enters with Him, and with Him they  remember the only relationship they ever had and ever want to have.
Tx:16.3 Your part is only to  remember this—you do not want anything you value to come of the
Tx:16.12  done to hurt your minds has made them so unnatural that they do not  remember what is natural to them. And when you are told about it, you

Tx:16.41 Your Father can no more forget the truth in you than you can fail to  remember it. The Holy Spirit is the bridge to Him, made from your
Tx:16.54  form of special relationship tempts you to seek for love in ritual,  remember love is content and not form of any kind. The special

Tx:17.7  will you value like unto this nor hold so dear. Nothing that you  remember that made your heart seem to sing with joy has ever brought
Tx:17.14 To forgive is merely to  remember only the loving thoughts you gave in the past and those that
Tx:17.25  to you to choose to be willing to join with truth or illusion. But  remember that to choose one is to let the other go. Which one you
Tx:17.38  only that you compare, or the comparison is wholly without meaning.  Remember that it is the picture that is the gift. And only on this
Tx:17.51  way. Your way is lost, but think not this is loss. In your newness,  remember that you have started again together. And take each other's
Tx:17.51  more familiar than you now believe. Is it not certain that you will  remember a goal unchanged throughout eternity? For you have chosen
Tx:17.57  certain very specific guidelines He provides for any situation, but  remember that you do not yet realize their universal application.
Tx:17.67 Only what you have not given can be lacking in any situation. But  remember this: the goal of holiness was set for your relationship and
Tx:18.27  established in Heaven. You do not understand what you accepted, but  remember that your understanding is not necessary. All that was
Tx:18.38  Add more and you will merely take away the little that is asked.  Remember you made guilt and that your plan for the escape from guilt
Tx:18.47 Whichever is saner at the time when the threat is perceived should  remember how deep is his indebtedness to the other and how much
Tx:18.47  glad that he can pay his debt by bringing happiness to both. Let him  remember this, and say:
Tx:18.67  the universe to both of you. You are prepared. Now you need but to  remember you need do nothing. It would be far more profitable now
Tx:18.95  us to try to speak of what must forever lie beyond words. We need  remember only that whoever attains the real world, beyond which
Tx:18.98  of God has come to you in the holy place of forgiveness, you will  remember nothing else, and memory will be as useless as learning, for
Tx:19.31 When you are tempted to believe that sin is real,  remember this: If sin is real, both God and you are not. If creation
Tx:19.65  Son of God committed. And in the light of your forgiveness, he will  remember who he is and forget what never was. I ask for your

Tx:19.88  ego has perceived it as a symbol of fear, a sign of sin and death.  Remember then that neither sign nor symbol should be confused with
Tx:19.88  Confronted with such seeming uncertainty of meaning, judge it not.  Remember the holy Presence of the One given to you to be the Source
Tx:19.90  think if death held no attraction for you? Very simply, you would  remember your Father. The Creator of life, the Source of everything
Tx:19.90  of universes and of everything that lies even beyond them would you  remember. And as this memory rises in your mind, peace must still

Tx:20.34  rest. And as they rest, the face of Christ shines on them, and they  remember the laws of God, forgetting all the rest and yearning only

Tx:20.60  it is because the purpose frightens you, and not the means.  Remember this, for otherwise you will make the error of believing the
Tx:20.60  perfectly in line with it. Before we look at them a little closer,  remember that if you think they are impossible, your wanting of the

Tx:21.8  attached not to a person or a place or anything particular. But you  remember from just this little part how lovely was the song, how
Tx:21.9  make you weep if you remembered how dear it was to you. You could  remember, yet you are afraid, believing you would lose the world you
Tx:21.9  the world you learned is half so dear as this. Listen and see if you  remember an ancient song you knew so long ago and held more dear than

Tx:21.48 Look gently on each other and  remember the ego's weakness is revealed in both your sight. What it
Tx:21.71  each one as likely to attack his brother or turn upon himself as to  remember they thought they had a common cause.
Tx:22.56  to you. The light you bring you do not recognize, and yet you will  remember. Who can deny himself the vision that he brings to others?
Tx:22.62  this oneness, you would know His power is yours. But you will not  remember this while you believe attack of any kind means anything. It
Tx:23.7  means of war are not the means of peace, and what the warlike would  remember is not love. War is impossible unless belief in victory is
Tx:23.13 What you  remember is a part of you. For you must be as God created you. Truth
Tx:23.13  But truth is indivisible and far beyond their little reach. You will  remember what you know when you have learned you cannot be in
Tx:23.16  as limitless as its Creator, and everything is given those who would  remember Him. Over His home the Holy Spirit watches, sure that its
Tx:23.52  temptation to attack rises to make your mind darkened and murderous,  remember you can see the battle from above. Even in forms you do not
Tx:24.8  What you keep is lost to you. God gave you both Himself, and to  remember this is now the only purpose that you share. And so it is
Tx:24.18  have chained your savior to your specialness and given it his place,  remember this: He has not lost the power to forgive you all the sins
Tx:25.59  alternative He chose especially for you. It is God's Will that you  remember this and so emerge from deepest mourning into perfect joy.
Tx:25.62  Remember all temptation is but this—a mad belief that God's
Tx:25.64  from all beliefs opposed to it. You have no fixed allegiance. But  remember salvation is not needed by the saved. You are not called
Tx:26.14  some mistakes to be corrected while you keep the others to yourself,  remember this: justice is total. There is no such thing as partial
Tx:27.81  be laughed away. How serious they now appear to be! And no one can  remember when they would have met with laughter and with disbelief.
Tx:27.82 We can  remember this if we but look directly at their cause. And we will see
Tx:28.4  is past that it is hard for you to realize it is a skill that can  remember now. The limitations on remembering the world imposes on it
Tx:28.7  Remember nothing that you taught yourself, for you were badly taught.
Tx:28.7  and can preserve a better one? When ancient memories of hate appear,  remember that their cause is gone. And so you cannot understand what
Tx:28.9 What you  remember never was. It came from causelessness which you confused
Tx:28.49  Remember if you share an evil dream, you will believe you are the

Tx:31.12  which we hold of what things mean and what their purpose is. Let us  remember not our own ideas of what the world is for. We do not know.
Tx:31.72  this happy change occur. No more than this is asked. On its behalf,  remember what the concept of yourself which now you hold has brought
W1:I.5  use which will give them meaning to you and show you they are true.  Remember only this—you need not believe them, you need not accept
W1:7.12 Do not linger over any one thing in particular, but  remember to omit nothing specifically. Glance briefly at each
W1:10.8  reduced to half a minute or even less if you experience discomfort.  Remember, however, to repeat the idea slowly before applying it
W1:12.5  why these “nice” adjectives belong in these exercises, but  remember that a “good world” implies a “bad” one, and a “satisfying
W1:20.5  not be distressed if you forget to do so, but make a real effort to  remember. The extra repetitions should be applied to any situation,
W1:21.3  the “little” thoughts of anger escape you in the practice periods.  Remember that you do not really recognize what arouses anger in you,
W1:27.7 The real question is how often will you  remember? How much do you want today's idea to be true? Answer one of
W1:29.4  in connection with today's idea because of its wholly alien nature.  Remember that any order you impose is equally alien to reality.
W1:33.5  Remember to apply today's idea the instant you are aware of distress.
W1:40.1  try again. If there are long interruptions, try again. Whenever you  remember, try again.
W1:42.8  Remember, though, that active searching for relevant thoughts is not
W1:43.12  during the day. When you are with someone else, for example, try to  remember to tell him silently,
W1:45.5  God would have us do is what we want to do. And we will also try to  remember that we cannot fail in doing what He would have us do. There
W1:45.12 In using the shorter form for applying today's idea, try to  remember how important it is to you to understand the holiness of the
W1:47.9  the idea for today often. Use it as your answer to any disturbance.  Remember that peace is your right because you are giving your trust
W1:52.4  is preoccupied with the past. What, then, can I see as it is? Let me  remember that I look on the past to prevent the present from dawning
W1:53.5  insane thoughts when the perfection of creation is my home? Let me  remember the power of my decision and recognize where I really abide.
W1:56.3  to the fearful nature of the self-image I have made. If I would  remember who I am, it is essential that I let this image of myself
W1:60.3  because I feel the stirring of His strength in me. And I begin to  remember the love I chose to forget, but Which has not forgotten me.
W1:60.6  And as I look upon the world with the vision He has given me, I  remember that I am His Son.
W1:62.2  by attacking creation and its Creator. Now you are learning how to  remember the truth. For this, attack must be replaced by forgiveness
W1:62.3  Remember that in every attack you call upon your own weakness, while
W1:62.9 I would  remember this because I want to be happy.
W1:63.3 Recognizing the importance of this function, we will be happy to  remember it very often today. We will begin the day by acknowledging
W1:63.6  Remember that God's Son looks to you for his salvation. And who but
W1:64.5  function, you are really choosing whether to be happy or not. Let us  remember this today. Let us remind ourselves of it in the morning and
W1:64.9  this with closed eyes. Related thoughts will come to help you if you  remember the crucial importance of your function to you and to the
W1:66.12 We need great honesty today.  Remember the outcomes fairly and consider also whether it was ever
W1:68.4  forget who they are as it is certain that those who forgive will  remember. Would you not be willing to relinquish your grievances if
W1:68.8 I would see you as my friend that I may  remember you are part of me and come to know myself.
W1:69.8  clouds to the light, to hold this confidence in your mind. Try to  remember that you are at last joining your will to God's. Try to keep
W1:70.12  it. It is not there. It is past the clouds and in the light beyond.  Remember that you will have to go through the clouds before you can
W1:70.12  have to go through the clouds before you can reach the light. But  remember also that you have never found anything in the cloud
W1:71.15 Try to  remember the idea for today some six or seven times an hour. There
W1:71.15  There could be no better way to spend a half-minute or less than to  remember the Source of your salvation and to see it where it is.
W1:73.8 We will succeed today if you  remember that you will salvation for yourself. You will to accept
W1:73.8  do so. Salvation is for you. Above all else you want the freedom to  remember who you really are.
W1:73.9  certain that we will find what it is your will to find and  remember what it is your will to remember. No idle wishes can detain
W1:73.9  what it is your will to find and remember what it is your will to  remember. No idle wishes can detain us nor deceive us with an
W1:77.10  Remember, too, not to be satisfied with less than the perfect answer.
W1:78.12 We will  remember this throughout the day and take the role assigned to us as
W1:78.12  our grievances. To everyone you meet and to the ones you think of or  remember from the past, allow the role of savior to be given that you
W1:80.3  are the same. Their many forms will not deceive you while you  remember this. One problem—one solution. Accept the peace this
W1:80.5  that you are out of conflict, free, and at peace. Above all,  remember that you have one problem and that the problem has one
W1:80.6  conviction as frequently as possible. And be particularly sure to  remember to apply the idea for today to any specific problem that may
W1:R2.3  is a message waiting for you. Be confident that you will receive it.  Remember that it belongs to you and that you want it. Do not allow
W1:81.2  its calm light, let all my conflicts disappear. In its peace, let me  remember who I am.
W1:82.5  forget my function. I would not forget my function because I would  remember my Self. I cannot fulfill my function by forgetting. And
W1:84.4  me not see an illusion of myself in this. As I look on this, let me  remember my Creator. My Creator did not create this as I see it.
W1:84.5  to me. I am determined not to attack my Self today, so that I can  remember who I am.
W1:90.2  a miracle with which I let the grievance be replaced. Today I would  remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that
W1:91.1 It is important to  remember that miracles and vision necessarily go together. This needs
W1:91.12  yourself. Concentrate particularly on the experience of strength.  Remember that all sense of weakness is associated with the belief
W1:93.12  for these exercises. Try, however, to do so when you can. At least  remember to repeat these thoughts each hour:
W1:95.5  tend to forget about it for long periods of time. You often fail to  remember the short applications of the idea for the day, and you have
W1:99.16  forever from your mind. If you are tempted to believe them true,  remember that appearances cannot withstand the truth these mighty
W1:101.10  to go still faster to the waiting goal of peace. There is no sin.  Remember this today, and tell yourself as often as you can:
W1:105.11  think that less is worthless when you cannot give Him more. At least  remember hourly to say the words which call on Him to give you what
W1:107.2  what a state of mind without illusions is? How it would feel? Try to  remember when there was a time—perhaps a minute, maybe even less—
W1:109.7  flow again. The world is born again each time you rest, and hourly  remember that you came to bring the peace of God into the world that
W1:110.11 We will  remember Him throughout the day with thankful hearts and loving
W1:110.11  thoughts for all who meet with us today, for it is thus that we  remember Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of His Son,
W1:117.2 [103] God, being Love, is also happiness. Let me  remember love is happiness and nothing else brings joy. And so I
W1:122.8  truths, forever newly born, arise in your awareness. What you will  remember then can never be described. Yet your forgiveness offers it
W1:123.8  and limitless His care for you, how perfect is His gratitude to you.  Remember hourly to think of Him and give Him thanks for everything He
W1:124.10  find it there within your mind and waiting to be found. You will  remember then the thought to which you gave this half an hour,
W1:124.13 Let me  remember I am one with God, at one with all my brothers and my Self,
W1:127.11 We will  remember them throughout the day because we cannot leave a part of us
W1:129.11  its opposite at last, and we are grateful that the choice is made.  Remember your decision hourly, and take a moment to confirm your
W1:131.17  Today God keeps His ancient promise to His holy Son, as does His Son  remember his to Him. This is a day of gladness, for we come to the
W1:131.18  Remember often that today should be a time of special gladness, and
W1:134.21 In everything you do,  remember this:
W1:135.27 He has remembered you. Today we will  remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation. And you rise
W1:137.13 We will  remember, as the hour strikes, our function is to let our minds be
W1:139.12  knowledge that God gave to us when He created us like Him. We can  remember it for everyone, for in creation are all minds as one and in
W1:140.14  healing comes to us. This is the day when separation ends and we  remember Who we really are.
W1:142.2 [124] Let me  remember I am one with God.
W1:151.17 And we will hourly  remember Him Who is salvation and deliverance. As we give thanks the
W1:153.6  a silly game a tired child might play when he becomes too sleepy to  remember what he wants.
W1:153.16 Each hour adds to our increasing peace, as we  remember to be faithful to the will we share with God. At times,
W1:153.19  We rise up strong in Christ and let our weakness disappear as we  remember that His strength abides in us. We will remind ourselves
W1:158.10  looks on you as well. This lesson is not difficult to learn if you  remember in your brother you but see yourself. If he be lost in sin,
W1:159.7 Here does the world  remember what was lost when it was made. For here it is repaired,
W1:160.9  they do not recognize themselves. Yet as they give Him welcome, they  remember. And He leads them gently home again where they belong.
W1:160.10 Not one does He forget. Not one He fails to give you to  remember that your home may be complete and perfect as it was
W1:160.10  as it was established. He has not forgotten you. But you will not  remember Him until you look on all as He does. Who denies his brother
W1:161.11  What you will see will sing to you of ancient melodies you will  remember. You are not forgot in Heaven. Would you not remember it?
W1:161.11  you will remember. You are not forgot in Heaven. Would you not  remember it?
W1:164.4  in you the thought of sin has never touched. All this today you will  remember. Faithfulness in practicing today will bring rewards so
W1:170.10 Yet do not think that fear is the escape from fear. Let us  remember what the course has stressed about the obstacles to peace.
W1:R5.7  we are approaching. Let us raise our hearts from dust to life as we  remember This is promised us, and that this course was sent to open
W1:183.2  response, nor said without an echo in the mind which calls you to  remember. Say His Name, and you invite the angels to surround the
W1:183.10  of the world and give the world the same release you found. You can  remember what the world forgot and offer it your own remembering. You
W1:186.12  Voice directs. And if it asks a thing of you that seems impossible,  remember Who it is that asks and who would make denial. Then consider
W1:186.12  given you by your Creator, Who remembers you and urges that you now  remember Him.
W1:191.13  accept your own eternal life. You are the holy Son of God Himself.  Remember this and all the world is free. Remember this and earth and
W1:191.13  holy Son of God Himself. Remember this and all the world is free.  Remember this and earth and Heaven are one.
W1:193.12  suffer thus. He would help you forgive yourself. His Son does not  remember who he is. And God would have him not forget His Love and
W1:R6.5  ends with this. And we repeat it every time the hour strikes or we  remember in between we have a function that transcends the world we
W2:231.1  there is nothing else that I could ever really want to find. Let me  remember You. What else could I desire but the truth about myself?
W2:231.2  this will with me, and with the One as well Who is our Father. To  remember Him is Heaven. This we seek. And only this is what it will
W2:235.1  happiness to find that only happiness has come to me. And I need but  remember that His Love surrounds His Son and keeps his sinlessness
W2:241.2  his home. How glad are we to have our sanity restored to us, and to  remember that we all are one.
W2:254.2  God speaks to us and tells us of our will, as we have chosen to  remember Him.
W2:257.1  distress and great depression. Let us therefore be determined to  remember what we want today that we may unify our thoughts and
W2:258.1  is to train our minds to overlook all little, senseless aims and to  remember that our goal is God. His memory is hidden in our minds,
W2:258.1  instead? God is our only goal, our only Love. We have no aim but to  remember Him.
W2:258.2  leads to You. We have no goal but this. What could we want but to  remember You? What could we seek but our Identity?
W2:260.1  of What created me. Your Son, my Father, calls on You today. Let me  remember You created me. Let me remember my Identity. And let my
W2:260.1  Father, calls on You today. Let me remember You created me. Let me  remember my Identity. And let my sinlessness arise again before
W2:261.1  is my Identity. In Him is everlasting peace. And only there will I  remember who I really am.
W2:265.2  the world, which but reflects Your thoughts and mine as well. Let me  remember that they are the same, and I will see creation's gentleness.
W2:276.1  but to acknowledge Him Who gave His Word to us in our creation, to  remember Him and so recall our Self.
W2:288.1  You have given me. But let me honor him who bears Your Name and so  remember that It is my own.
W2:310.1  from Heaven to Your Son. This day will be Your sweet reminder to  remember You, Your gracious calling to Your holy Son, the sign Your
W2:342.1  and let creation be as You would have it be and as it is. Let me  remember that I am Your Son, and opening the door at last, forget
W2:345.1  born of true forgiveness, lights the way that I must travel to  remember You.
W2:346.2 And when the evening comes today, we will  remember nothing but the peace of God. For we will learn today what
W2:348.1 Father, let me  remember You are here, and I am not alone. Surrounding me is
W2:350.2  we gather miracles from Him, we will indeed be grateful. For as we  remember Him, His Son will be restored to us in the Reality of Love.
W2:358.1 You Who  remember what I really am alone remember what I really want. You
W2:358.1 You Who remember what I really am alone  remember what I really want. You speak for God, and so You speak for
W2:358.1  You offer me, in just the form You chose that it be mine. Let me  remember all I do not know, and let my voice be still, remembering.
W2:FL.4 It is our function to  remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His own completion in
M:7.3  do. By accepting healing, he can give it. If he doubts this, let him  remember Who gave the gift and Who received it. Thus is his doubt
M:9.1  This may or may not involve changes in the external situation.  Remember that no one is where he is by accident, and chance plays no
M:10.4  Remember how many times you thought you knew all the “facts” you
M:13.8 Teacher of God, do not forget the meaning of sacrifice, and  remember what each decision you make must mean in terms of cost.
M:13.8  at the expense of the awareness of everything. What would you teach?  Remember only what you would learn. For it is here that your concern
M:15.4  in honesty. There is no deceit in God. His promises are sure. Only  remember that. His promises have guaranteed that His judgment, and
M:16.4  which fosters quiet thought as he awakes. If this is so, let him but  remember that he chooses to spend time with God as soon as possible,
M:16.10  he is safe from all deception if he so decides. Perhaps he needs to  remember “God is with me. I cannot be deceived.” Perhaps he prefers

Tx:11.54  He cannot let you forget your worth. For the Father never ceases to  remind Him of His Son, and He never ceases to remind His Son of the

W1:6.4  applying the idea to some upsetting thoughts more than to others,  remind yourself of the two cautions stated in the previous lesson:

W1:31.4  repeat the idea for today as often as possible during the day.  Remind yourself that you are making a declaration of independence in
W1:44.6  opposition and fears are meaningless. You might find it helpful to  remind yourself from time to time that to reach light is to escape
W1:45.11  little understanding you have already gained, you should be able to  remind yourself that this is no idle game but an exercise in holiness
W1:64.5  whether to be happy or not. Let us remember this today. Let us  remind ourselves of it in the morning and again at night and all
W1:67.7  times an hour, and perhaps even more, it would be most beneficial to  remind yourself that Love created you like Itself. Hear the truth
W1:69.9  in view of the importance of today's idea to you and your happiness,  remind yourself that your grievances are hiding the light of the
W1:69.9  grievances are hiding the light of the world from your awareness.  Remind yourself also that you are not searching for it alone and that
W1:70.14 For the short and frequent practice periods today,  remind yourself that your salvation comes from you and nothing but
W1:75.11  practice periods, too, will be joyful reminders of your release.  Remind yourself every quarter of an hour or so that today is a time
W1:77.4  confidently that you are entitled to miracles. Closing your eyes,  remind yourself that you are asking only for what is rightfully
W1:77.4  yourself that you are asking only for what is rightfully yours.  Remind yourself also that miracles are never taken from one and given
W1:91.14 Five or six times an hour at reasonably regular intervals  remind yourself that miracles are seen in light. Also, be sure to
W1:94.7  of practicing for the first five minutes of every hour, at least  remind yourself hourly:
W1:99.18 Your only function tells you you are one.  Remind yourself of this between the times you give five minutes to be
W1:99.18  five minutes to be shared with Him Who shares God's plan with you.  Remind yourself:
W1:109.11  Mind in Which these Thoughts were born and where they rest. And we  remind them of their resting place each time we tell ourselves,
W1:122.14  Remind yourself how precious are these gifts with this reminder,
W1:125.10 As every hour passes by today, be still a moment and  remind yourself you have a special purpose for this day—in quiet to
W1:126.11 As often as you can,  remind yourself you have a goal today—an aim which makes this day
W1:131.15 Seek for that door and find it. But before you try to open it,  remind yourself no one can fail who asks to reach the truth, and it
W1:131.18  of grace for you and for the world. If you forget this happy fact,  remind yourself with this:

Tx:5.87  Freud misinterpreted what the Holy Spirit told him, or better,  reminded him of, he was too honest to deny more than was necessary to

W1:110.11  for it is thus that we remember Him. And we will say, that we may be  reminded of His Son, our holy Self, the Christ in each of us:
W1:138.4 You need to be  reminded that you think a thousand choices are confronting you when
W1:166.12  the solitude you sought to make in which to hide from God. He has  reminded you of all the gifts that God has given you. He speaks as

W1:19.5  be repeated each day, although it will occasionally be included as a  reminder. Do not forget, however, that random selection of subjects
W1:77.7  practice periods will be frequent and will also be devoted to a  reminder of a simple fact. Tell yourself often today:
W1:104.8  the times we come to seek for them where He has laid them. This  reminder will we bring to mind as often as we can:
W1:106.12  to reinforce your choice to hear and to receive the Word by this  reminder, given to yourself as often as is possible today:
W1:122.14 Remind yourself how precious are these gifts with this  reminder, which has power to hold your gifts in your awareness
W2:310.1  for it comes from Heaven to Your Son. This day will be Your sweet  reminder to remember You, Your gracious calling to Your holy Son, the

Tx:25.52  into something it is not. For only this decision can you make. The  rest is up to God and not to you.
Tx:25.53  it rests on sin. Who could create the changeless if it does not  rest on truth?

Tx:26.51  impossible that one illusion be less amenable to truth than are the  rest. But it is possible that some are given greater value and less

Tx:27.89  all forms of suffering to Him Who knows that every one is like the  rest. He sees no differences where none exist, and He will teach you
Tx:27.89  you how each one is caused. None has a different cause from all the  rest, and all of them are easily undone by but a single lesson truly

Tx:28.57  the gap between the little bit of mind you call your own and all the  rest of what is really yours. You hate it, yet you think it is your
Tx:29.3  greatest obstacle that peace must flow across has not yet gone. The  rest are past, but this one still remains to block your path and make
Tx:29.24  dream—that you can help him waken and be sure his waking eyes will  rest on you. And in his glad salvation, you are saved.
Tx:29.44  as if a part of it were separated off and found where all the  rest of it is not. This is the purpose he bestows upon the body—
Tx:30.2  ones you recognize, a set begins to form which sees you through the  rest. It is not wise to let yourself become preoccupied with every

Tx:31.67  is seen as stable, fully worthy of your trust; a happy place to  rest in for a while, where nothing need be feared but only loved. Who

W1:28.8  of the subject which your eyes happen to light on, and you should  rest your eyes on it while saying:
W1:45.10  thought since then will change, but the foundation on which they  rest is wholly changeless. It is this foundation toward which the
W1:49.2 The part that is listening to the Voice of God is calm, always at  rest, and wholly certain. It is really the only part there is. The
W1:61.8  only purpose here. These two practice periods may be longer than the  rest if you find them helpful and want to extend them.
W1:65.11 Finally, repeat the idea for today once more and devote the  rest of the practice period to trying to focus on its importance to
W1:71.12 Give Him full charge of the  rest of the practice period, and let Him tell you what needs to be
W1:73.14  joined with the power of God and united with your Self. Put the  rest of the practice period under Their guidance. Join with Them as

W1:92.9  you as Its own. Such is the meeting place we try today to find and  rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self, His Son, is waiting
W1:93.10 Then put away your foolish self-images and spend the  rest of the practice period in trying to experience what God has
W1:98.3  magic nor invent escapes from fancied threats without reality. They  rest in quiet certainty that they will do what it is given them to
W1:98.11 Give Him the words, and He will do the  rest. He will enable you to understand your special function. He will
W1:99.10 This part belongs to God, as does the  rest. It does not think its solitary thoughts and make them real by
W1:99.11  up all darkened spots and shine through them to join them to the  rest. It is God's Will your mind be one with His. It is God's Will

W1:109.2 “I  rest in God.” This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet,
W1:109.2 “I rest in God.” This thought will bring to you the  rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness
W1:109.2  peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you seek. “I  rest in God.” This thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in
W1:109.3 “I  rest in God.” Completely undismayed this thought will carry you
W1:109.3  And no appearance but will turn to truth before the eyes of you who  rest in God.

W1:126.5 If this be true, forgiveness has no grounds on which to  rest dependably and sure. It is an eccentricity in which you
W1:127.7  escape from every law in which you now believe. Open your mind and  rest. The world that seems to hold you prisoner can be escaped by
W1:128.6  it will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose. Let it  rest in its Creator, there to be restored to sanity, to freedom, and
W1:128.7 Give it ten minutes  rest three times today. And when your eyes are opened afterwards, you

W1:128.7  the world. Your Guide is sure. Open your mind to Him. Be still and  rest.
W1:129.10  the lights of Heaven bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you  rest beyond the world of darkness. Here is light your eyes cannot

W1:137.16 Let healing be through you this very day. And as you  rest in quiet, be prepared to give as you receive, to hold but what
W1:138.5  they offer you. Decisions are the outcome of your learning, for they  rest on what you have accepted as the truth of what you are and what
W1:138.6  this is the simplest, most definitive, the prototype of all the  rest, the one which settles all decisions. If you could decide the
W1:138.6  rest, the one which settles all decisions. If you could decide the  rest, this one remains unsolved. But when you solve this one, the
W1:R4.7  deceive, and let this thought alone engage it fully and remove the  rest:
W1:R4.11  they are. We need no more than this to give us happiness and  rest and endless quiet, perfect certainty, and all our Father wills
W1:153.10  and in silence think how holy is your purpose, how secure you  rest, untouchable within its light. God's ministers have chosen that

W1:186.10  change ten times an hour at their most secure. What hope of gain can  rest on goals like this?
W1:189.9  go to Him. But we do choose to let Him come. And with this choice we  rest. And in our quiet hearts and open minds His love will blaze its
W1:191.12  there. Is not your heart willing to bring your weary brothers  rest?

Tx:10.33  only darken your own mind. As you bring him back, so will your mind  return. That is the law of God for the protection of the wholeness of

Tx:12.61  upon it. Hold it not dear, for it is old and tired and ready to  return to dust even as you made it. This aching world has not the
Tx:13.46  anything you made that was not created for you and by you in  return. For how can you remember what was never true or not remember
Tx:14.5  Accept, then, the immutable. Leave the world of death behind, and  return quietly to Heaven. There is nothing of value here and

Tx:14.41 In the temple Holiness waits quietly for the  return of them that love it. The Presence knows they will return to
Tx:14.41  for the return of them that love it. The Presence knows they will  return to purity and to grace. The graciousness of God will take them
Tx:14.73  of Peace. Whenever you fully realize that you know not, peace will  return, for you will have invited Him to do so by abandoning the ego

Tx:18.91  imagination, and from the clouds the messengers of your perception  return to you, assuring you that it is all there. Figures stand out
Tx:19.12  new perception sent forth to gather witnesses unto its coming and to  return their messages to you. Faith is as easily exchanged for
Tx:19.38  He answered you and entered your relationship. Would you not now  return His graciousness and enter into a relationship with Him? For
Tx:19.48  how easily this little wisp is lifted up and carried away, never to  return, and part with it in gladness, not regret. For it is nothing
Tx:19.49  on itself. And each has messengers which they send forth and which  return to them with messages written in the language in which their
Tx:19.50 Love's messengers are gently sent and  return with messages of love and gentleness. The messengers of fear
Tx:19.51  emotion was called on to send its messengers to look upon it and  return with word of what they saw. Fear's messengers are trained
Tx:19.51  by their master, who allows them to feast only upon what they  return to him. No little shred of guilt escapes their hungry eyes.

Tx:19.53  no little breath of love escape their notice. And they will  return with all the happy things they found, to share them lovingly
Tx:19.54  Holy Spirit has given you His messengers to send to each other and  return to each with what love sees. They have been given to replace
Tx:19.99  it is here you choose whether to look upon it or wander on, only to  return and make the choice again.
Tx:19.105  holy place of resurrection to which we come again; to which we will  return until redemption is accomplished and received. Think who your
Tx:19.106  the Holy Spirit this same gift. And giving it, receive it of Him in  return for what you gave. He leadeth you and me together that we
Tx:20.47 Idols accept, but never make  return. They can be loved, but cannot love. They do not understand
Tx:20.50  them. This is the temple dedicated to no relationships and no  return. Here is the “mystery” of separation perceived in awe and held
Tx:20.54  the unholy instant is exchanged in gladness for the holy one of safe  return. Here is the way to true relationships held gently open,
Tx:20.67  valuing the “something else,” and what was never lost will quietly  return. It has been saved for you. Vision would not be necessary had
Tx:21.64  from you and from his Father forever and without a hope of safe  return. You teach him this, and you will learn of him exactly what
Tx:22.3  the truth. Just under Heaven does he stand, but close enough not to  return to earth. For this relationship has Heaven's holiness. How far
Tx:22.15  and His gentle innocence protected from attack. And here can He  return in confidence, for faith in one another is always faith in
Tx:22.40  world that needs the light. And from this holy place He will  return with you, not leaving it nor you. You will become His
Tx:22.46  carved into a block out of your peace and laid between you and its  return. Yet how can peace be so fragmented? It is still whole, and
Tx:23.39  away from truth. Think not one step is smaller than another nor that  return from one is easier. The whole descent from Heaven lies in each
Tx:23.46  that haunts the place of death is not apparent, that it will not  return. There is no safety in a battleground. You can look down on it
Tx:24.19  and one with him. He waits for your forgiveness only that he may  return it unto you. It is not God Who has condemned His Son. But only
Tx:25.40 The Son of God asks only this of you—that you  return to him what is his due that you may share in it with him.
Tx:25.74  one does the Holy Spirit ask if he will be that one, so justice may  return to love and there be satisfied. Each special function He
Tx:25.83  are unforgivable and warrant vengeance in place of healing and  return of peace?
Tx:26.84  that came to kill. In gentle gratitude do God the Father and the Son  return to what is Theirs and will forever be. Now is the Holy
Tx:27.82  we will see the grounds for laughter, not a cause for fear. Let us  return the dream he gave away unto the dreamer who perceives the

Tx:29.39  of men; all things that change with time and bloom and fade will not  return. Where time has set an end is not where the eternal is. God's

W1:4.5  exercises more than three or four times during the day. We will  return to them later.

W1:55.4  I could not see a world of attack. As forgiveness allows love to  return to my awareness, I will see a world of peace and safety and
W1:62.1  of the world. Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself  return to your memory. Therefore in your forgiveness lies your
W1:68.9  in a world which protects you and loves you and which you love in  return. Try to feel safety surrounding you, hovering over you, and
W1:95.7  not, however, use your lapses from this schedule as an excuse not to  return to it again as soon as you can.
W1:98.6  And since time has no meaning, you are being asked for nothing in  return for everything. Here is a bargain that you cannot lose. And
W1:105.2  gift is given thus. Such “gifts” are but a bid for a more valuable  return—a loan with interest to be paid in full; a temporary
W1:105.7  laws of God. Here you denied them to yourself. And here you must  return to claim them as your own. Think of your “enemies” a little
W1:107.13  envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil that you will  return to the familiar world reluctantly.
W1:108.12  you in the amount in which you gave it. You will find you have exact  return, for this is what you asked. It might be helpful, too, to
W1:121.6  forgive the self you think you made and let it disappear. Thus you  return your mind as one to Him Who is your Self and Who can never sin.
W1:122.13 Let not your gifts recede throughout the day, as you  return again to meet a world of shifting change and bleak
W1:124.11  own. Count this half hour as your gift to God, in certainty that His  return will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep
W1:125.5 He has not waited until you  return your mind to Him to give His Word to you. He has not hid
W1:132.7  as far as he can let himself be led along the road to truth. He will  return and go still farther, or perhaps step back a while and then
W1:132.7  return and go still farther, or perhaps step back a while and then  return again.
W1:138.3  is but a waste and effort dissipated. It is spent for nothing in  return. And time goes by without results. There is no sense of gain,
W1:140.4  indeed. For sickness now is gone, with nothing left to which it can  return.
W1:153.21  are His gifts to you. Defenselessness is all you need to give Him in  return. You lay aside but what was never real to look on Christ and
W1:157.3 Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will  return to paths of learning. Yet you have come far enough along the
W1:157.7  goals but this become of little worth, the world to which you will  return becomes a little closer to the end of time, a little more like
W1:157.8 The time will come when you will not  return in the same form in which you now appear, for you will have no

W1:169.13 Be grateful to  return, as you were glad to go an instant and accept the gifts that

W1:182.5  just a few instants of respite—just an interval in which He can  return to breathe again the holy air that fills His Father's house.
W1:182.5  air that fills His Father's house. You are His home as well. He will  return. But give Him just a little time to be Himself within the

W1:182.11  love. He rules the universe, and yet He asks unceasingly that you  return with Him and take illusions as your gods no more.
W1:186.11 In lovely contrast, certain as the sun's  return each morning to dispel the night, your truly given function
W1:187.2  which the thought seems to appear is changed in giving. Yet it must  return to him who gives. Nor can the form it takes be less
W1:188.7  back to peace from where they came but to remind you how you must  return. They heed your Father's Voice when you refuse to listen. And
W1:191.5  hold it prisoner. And from this place of safety and escape, you will  return and set it free. For he who can accept his true Identity is
W1:191.12  let the Son of God awaken from his sleep, and opening his holy eyes  return again to bless the world he made. In error it began. But it
W1:192.2  need the means to let illusion go. Creation merely waits for your  return to be acknowledged, not to be complete.
W1:199.8 You are God's Son. In immortality you live forever. Would you not  return your mind to this? Then practice well the thought the Holy
W1:219.1  God's Son. Be still, my mind, and think a moment upon this. And then  return to earth without confusion as to what my Father loves forever
W2:223.2  lonely here and long for Heaven where we are at home. Today we would  return. Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your Son.
W2:225.1 Father, I must  return Your love for me. For giving and receiving are the same, and
W2:225.1  are the same, and You have given all Your love to me. I must  return it, for I want it mine in full awareness, blazing in my mind,
W2:226.2 Father, my home awaits my glad  return. Your arms are open, and I hear Your Voice. What need have I
W2:227.2 And so today we find our glad  return to Heaven, which we never really left. The Son of God this day
W2:246.1  of all the love my Father has for me and all the love which I  return to Him.
W2:249.2 Father, we would  return our minds to You. We have betrayed them, held them in a vise
W2:WIS.5  today? There is no sin. Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold  return to Heaven back? How long, oh holy Son of God, how long?
W2:256.1  today. God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds  return to Him at last.
W2:269.1  You gave to me and through His lessons to surpass perception and  return to truth. I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I
W2:273.1  If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and  return to peace. We need but tell our minds with certainty, “The

W2:324.1  cannot lose the way. I can but choose to wander off a while and then  return. Your loving Voice will always call me back and guide my feet
W2:330.2  we but fail to know our one Identity we share with You. We would  return to It today, to be made free forever from all our mistakes and
W2:333.2  to shine away all conflict and all doubt and light the way for our  return to You. No light but this can end our evil dreams. No light

W2:WIM.1  Thus it stays within time's limits. Yet it paves the way for the  return of timelessness and love's awakening, for fear must slip away

W2:350.1  set me free. And only my forgiveness teaches me to let Your memory  return to me and give it to the world in thankfulness.
W2:WAI.3  not seek a function that is past the gates of Heaven. Knowledge will  return when we have done our part. We are concerned only with giving
W2:FL.1  lessons, as to Him we give our lives henceforth. For we would not  return again to the belief in sin, which made the world seem ugly and
M:9.1  removed. Otherwise, the old thought-system still has a basis for  return.
M:16.8  times his certainty will waver, and the instant this occurs he will  return to earlier attempts to place reliance on himself alone. Forget
M:20.4  once again, and the belief that peace cannot exist will certainly  return. War is again accepted as the one reality. Now must you once
M:29.3  reflects the illusion you have done so, making fear inevitable. To  return the function to the One to Whom it belongs is thus the escape

Tx:9.75 God would have them released from their sickness and  returned to His Mind. He will not limit your power to help them,

Tx:24.37  to Him, the universe is yours. Offered to them, no gifts can be  returned. What you have given specialness has left you bankrupt and

W1:97.7  a thousand-fold and tens of thousands more. And when it is  returned to you, it will surpass in might the little gift you gave as
W1:123.7  as you are thanking Him. This holy half an hour given Him will be  returned to you in terms of years for every second, power to save the

Tx:3.49  I cannot choose for you, but I can help you make your own  right choice. “Many are called, but few are chosen” should read, “All
Tx:3.49  are called, but few choose to listen. Therefore, they do not choose  right.”

Tx:4.90  Father. Love does not conquer all things, but it does set all things  right. Because you are all the Kingdom of God, I can lead you back to

Tx:7.36  in a state of mind which is out of accord with His. The strength of  right perception is so great that it brings the mind into accord with

Tx:9.2  at another level, since his error is at another level. He is still  right, because he is a Son of God. His ego is always wrong, no matter
Tx:9.5  from telling you that what you teach you learn? Your brother is as  right as you are, and if you think he is wrong, you are condemning

Tx:9.29  They will convince you that the words are true. By following the  right Guide you will learn the simplest of all lessons—
Tx:9.86  the willingness to judge unreality for what it is. This is the  right use of selective perception. To overlook nothingness is merely

Tx:11.73  your function. If it is the judgment of the Holy Spirit, it will be  right, for judgment is His function. You share His function only by

Tx:3.21  Sacrifice is a notion totally unknown to God. It arises solely from
Tx:3.24  because] he sees Him as he is[, he knows] that the Atonement, not  sacrifice, is the only appropriate gift to His own altar, where
Tx:4.30  implies that you will do without it. When you associate giving with  sacrifice, then, you give only because you believe that you are
Tx:6.14 When you hear only one voice, you are never called on to  sacrifice. On the contrary, by enabling yourselves to hear the Holy
Tx:7.92  Creating is the opposite of loss, as blessing is the opposite of  sacrifice. Being must be extended. That is how it retains the
Tx:7.101  about joy and pain. This confusion is the cause of the whole idea of  sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be giving up the ego.
Tx:7.103  except that you want to be fearful? The Holy Spirit never asks for  sacrifice, but the ego always does. When you are confused about this

Tx:8.94  will never call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if you ask the  sacrifice of reality of yourselves, the Holy Spirit must remind you

Tx:12.74  mind that this world sets before you. Kneel not before the altars to  sacrifice and seek not what you will surely lose. Content yourselves
Tx:15.30 Is it a  sacrifice to leave littleness behind and wander not in vain? It is
Tx:15.30  to leave littleness behind and wander not in vain? It is not  sacrifice to wake to glory. But it is a sacrifice to accept anything
Tx:15.30  not in vain? It is not sacrifice to wake to glory. But it is a  sacrifice to accept anything less than glory. Learn that you must be
Tx:15.71  in love with the other at all. He merely believes he is in love with  sacrifice. And for this sacrifice, which he demanded of himself, he
Tx:15.71  all. He merely believes he is in love with sacrifice. And for this  sacrifice, which he demanded of himself, he demands the other accept
Tx:15.71  he demanded of himself, he demands the other accept the guilt and  sacrifice himself as well. Forgiveness becomes impossible, for the
Tx:15.72  this seems unimportant. As long as the body is there to receive its  sacrifice, it is content. To the ego, the mind is private, and only
Tx:15.73 Suffering and  sacrifice are the gifts with which the ego would “bless” all unions.
Tx:15.73  unions. And those who are united at its altar accept suffering and  sacrifice as the price of union. In their angry alliances, born of
Tx:15.73  in little ways, perhaps “unconsciously,” yet never without demand of  sacrifice. The fury of those joined at the ego's altar far exceeds
Tx:15.93  offer everyone the gift you offer me. I am as incapable of receiving  sacrifice as God is, and every sacrifice you ask of yourself, you ask
Tx:15.93  me. I am as incapable of receiving sacrifice as God is, and every  sacrifice you ask of yourself, you ask of me. Learn now that
Tx:15.93  every sacrifice you ask of yourself, you ask of me. Learn now that  sacrifice of any kind is nothing but a limitation imposed on giving.
Tx:15.96 You see no other alternatives, for you cannot accept the fact that  sacrifice gets nothing. Sacrifice is so essential to your thought
Tx:15.96  for you cannot accept the fact that sacrifice gets nothing.  Sacrifice is so essential to your thought system that salvation apart
Tx:15.96  is so essential to your thought system that salvation apart from  sacrifice means nothing to you. Your confusion of sacrifice and love
Tx:15.96  apart from sacrifice means nothing to you. Your confusion of  sacrifice and love is so profound that you cannot conceive of love
Tx:15.96  and love is so profound that you cannot conceive of love without  sacrifice. And it is this that you must look upon—sacrifice is
Tx:15.96  of love without sacrifice. And it is this that you must look upon— sacrifice is attack, not love. If you would accept but this one idea,
Tx:15.96  your fear of love would vanish. Guilt cannot last when the idea of  sacrifice has been removed. For if there is sacrifice, as you are
Tx:15.96  last when the idea of sacrifice has been removed. For if there is  sacrifice, as you are convinced, someone must pay and someone must
Tx:15.98  for the one idea that hides behind them all—that love demands  sacrifice and is therefore inseparable from attack and fear. And that
Tx:15.98  by fear. How fearful, then, has God become to you, and how great a  sacrifice do you believe His love demands! For total love would
Tx:15.98  do you believe His love demands! For total love would demand total  sacrifice. And so the ego seems to demand less of you than God, and
Tx:15.99 You think that everyone outside yourself demands your  sacrifice, but you do not see that only you demand sacrifice and only
Tx:15.99  demands your sacrifice, but you do not see that only you demand  sacrifice and only of yourself. Yet the demand of sacrifice is so
Tx:15.99  only you demand sacrifice and only of yourself. Yet the demand of  sacrifice is so savage and so fearful that you cannot accept it where
Tx:15.99  given God away rather than look at it. For if God would demand total  sacrifice of you, you thought it safer to project Him outward and
Tx:15.99  is what you invited in that would destroy you and does demand total  sacrifice of you. No partial sacrifice will appease this savage
Tx:15.99  would destroy you and does demand total sacrifice of you. No partial  sacrifice will appease this savage guest, for it is an invader who

Tx:15.100  In you are both the question and the answer—the demand for  sacrifice and the peace of God.
Tx:15.101 Fear not to recognize the whole idea of  sacrifice as solely of your making. And seek not safety by attempting
Tx:15.102  the sign the time of Christ has come. He comes demanding nothing. No  sacrifice of any kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the
Tx:15.102  kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the whole idea of  sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is Host to God. And you need but
Tx:15.103  you have accepted it with me, you will give it with me. All pain and  sacrifice and littleness will disappear in our relationship, which is

Tx:15.103  presence, and without pain there can be no sacrifice. And without  sacrifice, there love must be.
Tx:15.104 You who believe that  sacrifice is love must learn that sacrifice is separation from love.
Tx:15.104 You who believe that sacrifice is love must learn that  sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as
Tx:15.104  is love must learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For  sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love brings peace. Guilt is the
Tx:15.104  guilt as surely as love brings peace. Guilt is the condition of  sacrifice, as peace is the condition for the awareness of your
Tx:15.105  deprived. And so long will you also perceive yourself as a victim of  sacrifice, justified in sacrificing others. For who could thrust
Tx:15.105  For who could thrust Heaven and its Creator aside without a sense of  sacrifice and loss? And who can suffer sacrifice and loss without
Tx:15.105  aside without a sense of sacrifice and loss? And who can suffer  sacrifice and loss without attempting to restore himself? Yet how
Tx:15.105  as you would retain the deprivation, attack becomes salvation, and  sacrifice becomes love.
Tx:15.106 So is it that in all your seeking for love, you seek for  sacrifice and find it. Yet you find not love. It is impossible to

Tx:19.61 Is it a  sacrifice or a release? What has the body really given you that

Tx:13.21  release. No one who would unite in any way with anyone for his own  salvation will find it in that strange relationship. It is not
Tx:13.23  means to “solve” the past and still to see them as they really are?  Salvation is not found by those who use their brothers to resolve
Tx:13.23  brothers to resolve problems which are not there. You wanted not  salvation in the past. Would you impose your idle wishes on the
Tx:13.23  Would you impose your idle wishes on the present and hope to find  salvation now?
Tx:13.43  God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as He is. You will learn  salvation, because you will learn how to save. It will not be
Tx:13.43  to exempt yourself from what the Holy Spirit wills to teach you.  Salvation is as sure as God. His certainty suffices. Learn that even
Tx:13.46  possibility that the plan the Holy Spirit offers to everyone for the  salvation of everyone will not be perfectly accomplished. You will be
Tx:13.64  Yet this entails the recognition that guilt is interference, not  salvation, and serves no useful function at all.
Tx:13.73  they are guilty will respond to guilt because they think it is  salvation and will not refuse to see it and side with it. [They
Tx:13.76  has set for his Atonement, relinquishing his own. You know not of  salvation, for you do not understand it. Make no decisions about what
Tx:13.77  you undertake alone but signifies that you would define what  salvation is and what you would be saved from. The Holy Spirit knows
Tx:13.77  is and what you would be saved from. The Holy Spirit knows that all  salvation is escape from guilt. You have no other “enemy,” and
Tx:13.78 Let Him, therefore, be the only Guide that you would follow to  salvation. He knows the way and leads you gladly on it. With Him you
Tx:13.78  peace as surely as you made the wrong decision in ever thinking that  salvation lay in you alone. Salvation is of Him to Whom God gave it
Tx:13.78  the wrong decision in ever thinking that salvation lay in you alone.  Salvation is of Him to Whom God gave it for you. He has not forgotten
Tx:13.78  Forget Him not, and He will make every decision for you, for your  salvation, and the peace of God in you.
Tx:14.27  what you do not want to what you do. You will realize that  salvation must come to you this way if you consider what dissociation
Tx:15.11  And Heaven will not change, for the birth into the holy present is  salvation from change. Change is an illusion, taught by those who
Tx:15.12  Could you not give so short a time to the Holy Spirit for your  salvation? He asks no more, for He has no need of more. It takes far
Tx:15.33 If you are wholly willing to leave  salvation to the plan of God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for
Tx:15.33  plan of God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace yourself,  salvation will be given you. Yet think not you can substitute your
Tx:15.36  as you want it will you bring it nearer. Think not that you can find  salvation in your own way and have it. Give over every plan that you
Tx:15.36  way and have it. Give over every plan that you have made for your  salvation in exchange for God's. His will content you, and there is
Tx:15.37  His host abide in perfect freedom. Every allegiance to a plan of  salvation that is apart from Him diminishes the value of His Will for
Tx:15.41  that it is possible to harbor thoughts you would not share and that  salvation lies in keeping your thoughts to yourself alone. For in
Tx:15.46  For separation is the source of guilt, and to appeal to it for  salvation is to believe you are alone. To be alone is to be guilty.
Tx:15.47  believe that special relationships, with special love, can offer you  salvation is the belief that separation is salvation. For it is the
Tx:15.47  love, can offer you salvation is the belief that separation is  salvation. For it is the complete equality of the Atonement in which
Tx:15.47  salvation. For it is the complete equality of the Atonement in which  salvation lies. How can you decide that special aspects of the
Tx:15.77  who believe that communication is damnation that communication is  salvation. And He will do so, for the power of God in Him and you is
Tx:15.79  He will teach you to remember that forgiveness is not loss but your  salvation. And that in complete forgiveness, in which you recognize
Tx:15.96  gets nothing. Sacrifice is so essential to your thought system that  salvation apart from sacrifice means nothing to you. Your confusion
Tx:15.100  of the decision just as it is that makes the decision so easy!  Salvation is simple, being of God and therefore very easy to
Tx:15.105  And as long as you would retain the deprivation, attack becomes  salvation, and sacrifice becomes love.
Tx:16.30  is undertaken solely to offset the hate but not to let it go. Your  salvation will rise clearly before your open eyes as you look on
Tx:16.56  Salvation lies in the simple fact that illusions are not fearful
Tx:16.67 Be glad you have escaped the mockery of  salvation which the ego offered you and look not back with longing on
Tx:16.73  special relationship, which binds you to it and would teach you that  salvation is past and that you must return to the past to find
Tx:16.73  that salvation is past and that you must return to the past to find  salvation. There is no fantasy which does not contain the dream of
Tx:16.75 Against the ego's insane notion of  salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said
Tx:16.75  truth. The holy instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed belief in  salvation through vengeance for the past. In the holy instant, it is
Tx:16.79  to restore the Kingdom to you and to place all your investment in  salvation in your relationship with Him.
Tx:17.6  attempt. And you are holding both of you away from truth and from  salvation. As you forgive him, you restore to truth what was denied
Tx:17.9  is given, complete and wholly perfect. No one but Him Who planned  salvation could complete it thus. The real world, in its loveliness,
Tx:17.12  And there he knows that he has always rested there in peace. Even  salvation will become a dream and vanish from his mind. For salvation
Tx:17.12  Even salvation will become a dream and vanish from his mind. For  salvation is the end of dreams and with the closing of the dream will
Tx:17.12  Who awake in Heaven could dream that there could ever be need of  salvation?
Tx:17.13 How much do you want  salvation? It will give you the real world, trembling with readiness
Tx:17.43  of the holy instant in living in this world. Like everything about  salvation, the holy instant is a practical device, witnessed to by
Tx:17.51 You are very new in the ways of  salvation and think you have lost your way. Your way is lost, but
Tx:17.52  all it needs now is your blessing that you may see that in it rests  salvation. Condemn salvation not, for it has come to you. And welcome
Tx:17.52  your blessing that you may see that in it rests salvation. Condemn  salvation not, for it has come to you. And welcome it together, for
Tx:17.73  strong. Use not your faithlessness against it, for it calls you to  salvation and to peace.
Tx:17.78  you to realize what your lack of faith in him must mean to you. His  salvation is your only purpose. See only this in every situation, and
Tx:18.21  He gave the gift. He uses everyone who calls on Him as means for the  salvation of everyone. And He will waken everyone through you who
Tx:18.29  with me in the holy light of your relationship, is your need for  salvation. Would I not give you what you gave to me? For when you
Tx:18.30 You who are now the bringers of  salvation have the function of bringing light to darkness. The
Tx:18.38  for the escape from guilt has been to bring Atonement to it and make  salvation fearful. And it is only fear that you will add if you
Tx:18.39  what it is. Yet we have emphasized that you need understand nothing.  Salvation is easy just because it asks nothing that you cannot give
Tx:18.41  relationship, the Holy Spirit's teaching, and all the means by which  salvation is accomplished would have no purpose. For they are all but
Tx:18.53  not have the instruments of separation reinterpreted as means for  salvation and used for purposes of love? Would you not welcome and
Tx:19.13  faithlessness had driven you apart, and so you did not recognize  salvation in each other. Yet faith unites you in the holiness you
Tx:19.17  be not confused with “sin,” and it is this distinction which makes  salvation possible. For error can be corrected, and the wrong made
Tx:19.41  of dust, a tiny seeming barrier, stand between your brothers and  salvation? And yet, it is this little remnant of attack you cherish
Tx:19.43 Would you thrust  salvation away from the giver of salvation? For such have you become.
Tx:19.43 Would you thrust salvation away from the giver of  salvation? For such have you become. Peace could no more depart from
Tx:19.43  of God. Peace will flow across it and join you without hindrance.  Salvation cannot be withheld from you. It is your purpose. You cannot
Tx:19.53  share them lovingly with you. Be not afraid of them. They offer you  salvation. Theirs are the messages of safety, for they see the world
Tx:19.56  ego sin means death, and so Atonement is achieved through murder.  Salvation is looked upon as a way by which the Son of God was killed
Tx:19.57  no greater value than yours; no better means for communication of  salvation, but not its Source. No one can die for anyone, and death
Tx:19.61  really given you that justifies your strange belief that in it lies  salvation? Do you not see that this is the belief in death? Here is
Tx:19.63  accomplishment? You want communion, not the feast of fear. You want  salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you want your Father, not a
Tx:19.66  relationship truth proclaims the truth, and love looks on itself.  Salvation flows from deep within the home you offered to my Father
Tx:19.86  to grow into a mighty force for God, is very near. The infancy of  salvation is carefully guarded by love, preserved from every thought
Tx:19.90  your mind, peace must still surmount a final obstacle after which is  salvation completed and the Son of God entirely restored to sanity.
Tx:19.101  to keep what seems to be yourself unharmed. Yet in his hands is your  salvation. You see his madness, which you hate because you share it.
Tx:19.102  his sins against him or accept his gift to you? Is this giver of  salvation your friend or enemy? Choose which he is, remembering that
Tx:19.103  share His holiness. This “enemy,” this “stranger” still offers you  salvation as His Friend. The “enemies” of Christ, the worshipers of
Tx:19.108  but known. And knowing, nothing in the plan God has established for  salvation will be left undone. This is the journey's purpose, without
Tx:19.109  appear to be. As he is seen as either the giver of guilt or of  salvation, so will his offering be seen and so received. The
Tx:20.4  celebrate his holiness along with me. For Easter is the time of your  salvation, along with mine.
Tx:20.29  lies in him to overlook all your mistakes, and therein lies his own  salvation. And so it is with yours. [Salvation is a lesson in giving,
Tx:20.32  all the same. Yet those who know that they are all the same need not  salvation. And each one finds his savior when he is ready to look
Tx:20.35  ask yourself if it is possible that God would have a plan for your  salvation that does not work. Once you accept His plan as the one
Tx:20.56  one he chose before. And here can he learn relationships are his  salvation and not his doom. You who are learning this may still be
Tx:20.66  you ask, forget not that his sinlessness is your escape from fear.  Salvation is the Holy Spirit's goal. The means is vision. For what
Tx:20.69  of purpose, shared with the Holy Spirit and at one with Him on what  salvation is. Be willing, then, to see your brother sinless that
Tx:20.72  you, you will never see. Your holy relationship, the source of your  salvation, will be deprived of meaning, and its most holy purpose
Tx:21.13  Spirit for which He gives you everything; the very little on which  salvation rests; the tiny change of mind by which the crucifixion is
Tx:21.14  only this, but mean it with no reservations, for here the power of  salvation lies:
Tx:21.17  gift is given you the power to release your savior that he may give  salvation unto you.
Tx:21.20  is. And very simply see in it the whole exchange of separation for  salvation. All that the ego is, is an idea that it is possible that
Tx:21.53 God's plan for your  salvation could not have been established without your will and your
Tx:21.54  what is so, for this must have an answer if the plan of God for your  salvation is complete. And it must be complete because its Source
Tx:21.65  choose to let yourself be healed, in that same instant is his whole  salvation seen as complete with yours. Reason is given you to
Tx:21.66 That you are joined is your  salvation—the gift of Heaven, not the gift of fear. Does Heaven
Tx:22.26 Only your thoughts have been impossible.  Salvation cannot be. It is impossible to look upon your savior as
Tx:22.31 Reason is not  salvation in itself, but it makes way for peace and brings you to a
Tx:22.31  it makes way for peace and brings you to a state of mind in which  salvation can be given you. Sin is a block, set like a heavy gate,
Tx:22.36  you believe can sin? Beyond his errors is his holiness and your  salvation. You gave him not his holiness but tried to see your sins
Tx:22.36  Can you be saved by making sinful the one whose holiness is your  salvation?
Tx:22.42  have corrected for you, for in his sight your loveliness is his  salvation which he would protect from harm. And each will be the
Tx:23.6  bestows upon it! What can you value more than this? For here is your  salvation and your freedom. And it must be complete if you would
Tx:23.25  the “enemy” Who caused it and to Whom appeal is useless. Nor can  salvation lie within the Son, whose every aspect seems to be at war
Tx:23.25  now is conflict made inevitable and beyond the help of God. And now  salvation must remain impossible because the savior has become the
Tx:23.30  The substitute for love, born of your enmity to one another, must be  salvation. It has no substitute, and there is only one. And all your
Tx:23.31  is here you look for meaning. These are the laws you made for your  salvation. They hold in place the substitute for Heaven which you
Tx:23.33  throne of love, its dying conqueror, its substitute, the savior from  salvation. How lovely do the laws of fear make death appear! Give
Tx:23.35  condemnation is a blessing? Who makes his savior powerless and finds  salvation? Let not the form of the attack on him deceive you. You
Tx:23.43  Salvation is no compromise of any kind. To compromise is to accept
Tx:23.43  but part of what you want—to take a little and give up the rest.  Salvation gives up nothing. It is complete for everyone. Let the idea
Tx:23.43  where compromise has been accepted, for compromise is the belief  salvation is impossible. It would maintain you can attack a little,
Tx:23.44  believe that compromise is possible. They do not see that, if it is,  salvation is attack. Yet it is certain the belief that salvation is
Tx:23.44  if it is, salvation is attack. Yet it is certain the belief that  salvation is impossible cannot uphold a quiet, calm assurance it has
Tx:24.13  of littleness and be released from limits? You have a function in  salvation. Its pursuit will bring you joy. But the pursuit of
Tx:24.13  of specialness must bring you pain. Here is a goal that would defeat  salvation and thus run counter to the Will of God. To value
Tx:24.18  all the sins you think you placed between him and the function of  salvation given him for you. Nor will you change his function, any
Tx:24.24  your special kingdom, apart from God, away from truth and from  salvation.
Tx:24.25  offer it to you when you were ready to accept His plan for your  salvation in place of yours. How could this readiness be reached save
Tx:24.30  they wait for all illusions to be brought to them and left behind.  Salvation challenges not even death. And God Himself, Who knows that
Tx:24.31  for you. Ask not He enter this. The way is barred to love and to  salvation. Yet if you would release your brother from the depths of
Tx:24.34  is death enthroned as savior; crucifixion is now redemption, and  salvation can only mean destruction of the world, except yourself.
Tx:24.38 Long ago we said consider not the means by which  salvation is attained nor how to reach it. But do consider, and
Tx:24.39  dream in which God is bereft of what He loves and you remain beyond  salvation. Only this is certain in this shifting world which has no
Tx:24.47 You who would be content with specialness and seek  salvation in a war with love, consider this: the holy Lord of Heaven
Tx:24.54  is not. Within your brother's holiness, the perfect frame for your  salvation and the world's, is set the shining memory of Him in Whom
Tx:24.55  by still one more denial of Christ in him. And where is your  salvation if he is but a body? Where is your peace but in his
Tx:25.22  may esteem yourself and him. To each of you is given the power of  salvation that escape from darkness into light be yours to share;
Tx:25.40  save himself along with him. Forgiven by you, your savior offers you  salvation. Condemned by you, he offers death to you. In everyone you
Tx:25.46  to heal instead of harm. To each He gives a special function in  salvation he alone can fill—a part for only him. Nor is the plan
Tx:25.47  means the Holy Spirit uses to translate specialness from sin into  salvation. Forgiveness is for all. But when it rests on all, it is
Tx:25.48  brother and himself and thus become a means to save instead of lose.  Salvation is no more than a reminder this world is not your home; its
Tx:25.48  he chose to hurt himself did God appoint to be the means for his  salvation from the very instant that the choice was made. His special
Tx:25.49  You wanted it, and it is given you. All that you made can serve  salvation easily and well. The Son of God can make no choice the Holy
Tx:25.49  one another. Take it gently then from one another's hand, and let  salvation be perfectly fulfilled in both of you. Do this one thing,
Tx:25.57 It would be madness to entrust  salvation to the insane. Because He is not mad has God appointed One
Tx:25.57  saner world to meet the sight of everyone who chose insanity as his  salvation. To this One is given the choice of form most suitable to
Tx:25.61  Salvation is rebirth of the idea no one can lose for anyone to gain.
Tx:25.61  sin must be impossible if this is true. This is the rock on which  salvation rests, the vantage point from which the Holy Spirit gives
Tx:25.62  at any cost. No one can suffer for the Will of God to be fulfilled.  Salvation is His Will because you share it. Not for you alone but for
Tx:25.63 The Holy Spirit can use all that you give to Him for your  salvation. But He cannot use what you withhold, for He cannot take it
Tx:25.64 Here is the only principle  salvation needs. Nor is it necessary that your faith in it be strong,
Tx:25.64  beliefs opposed to it. You have no fixed allegiance. But remember  salvation is not needed by the saved. You are not called upon to do
Tx:25.65 There is a kind of justice in  salvation of which the world knows nothing. To the world, justice and
Tx:25.79  is fair. He does not fight against His Son's reluctance to perceive  salvation as a gift from Him. Yet would His justice not be satisfied
Tx:25.83  and thus apart from healing. Who is there who can be separate from  salvation if its purpose is the end of specialness? Where is
Tx:25.84  Salvation cannot seek to help God's Son be more unfair than he has
Tx:25.86  you give. Each one becomes an illustration of the law on which  salvation rests—that justice must be done to all if anyone is to be
Tx:26.20  together, and only one continues past the gate where Oneness is.  Salvation is a borderland where place and time and choice have
Tx:26.22  Salvation stops just short of Heaven, for only perception needs
Tx:26.22 Salvation stops just short of Heaven, for only perception needs  salvation. Heaven was never lost and so cannot be saved. Yet who can
Tx:26.56  Salvation, perfect and complete, asks but a little wish that what is
Tx:26.61  is not release. God's Son could never be content with less than full  salvation and escape from guilt. For otherwise he still demands that
Tx:26.64  because his Father willed that it be so. And in your hands does all  salvation lie, to be both offered and received as one.
Tx:26.69  to be one in which you sacrifice and suffer loss. You see eventual  salvation, not immediate results.
Tx:26.70  Salvation is immediate. Unless you so perceive it, you will be afraid
Tx:26.70  In this form is the error still obscured that is the source of fear.  Salvation would wipe out the space you see between you still and let
Tx:26.77  your call! And think how holy he must be when in him sleeps your own  salvation with his freedom joined! However much you wish he be
Tx:26.90  dim and threatening, and not a trace of all the happy sparkle that  salvation brought can you perceive to lighten up your way. And so you
Tx:27.16  errors. Let yourself be healed that you may be forgiving, offering  salvation to your brother and yourself. A broken body shows the mind
Tx:27.20  The world perceives it as a statement of the “fact” that your  salvation sacrifices his. The Holy Spirit knows your healing is the
Tx:27.60  healed, because the suffering of the world has made it deaf to its  salvation and deliverance.
Tx:27.62  has done to injure you. Here is the world's demented version of  salvation clearly shown. Like to a dream of punishment in which the
Tx:27.86 The secret of  salvation is but this: that you are doing this unto yourself. No
Tx:27.89  all of them are easily undone by but a single lesson truly learned.  Salvation is a secret you have kept but from yourself. The universe
Tx:28.24 This is the separation's final step with which  salvation, which proceeds to go the other way, begins. This final
Tx:28.27  the mind is free to make another choice instead. Beginning here,  salvation will proceed to change the course of every step in the
Tx:28.28 What waits in perfect certainty beyond  salvation is not our concern. For you have barely started to allow
Tx:28.61  but its opposite? There is no middle ground in any aspect of  salvation. You accept it wholly or accept it not. What is unseparated
Tx:29.2  gap must bring to those who cherish it and think that it is their  salvation and their hope.
Tx:29.18  failure to perceive that it is nothing. Yet its nothingness is your  salvation, from which you would flee.
Tx:29.20  you depends his happiness. For who is savior but the one who gives  salvation? Thus he learns it must be his to give. Unless he gives, he
Tx:29.24  waken and be sure his waking eyes will rest on you. And in his glad  salvation, you are saved.
Tx:29.38  of madness and of murder, grief and loss. This is the “sacrifice”  salvation asks and gladly offers peace instead of this.
Tx:29.50  And all the world becomes the means by which this idol can be saved.  Salvation thus appears to threaten life and offer death.
Tx:29.51 It is not so.  Salvation seeks to prove there is no death, and only life exists. The
Tx:29.62  a part of evil dreams where idols are your “true” identity and your  salvation from the judgment laid in terror and in guilt upon yourself.
Tx:29.64 There can be no  salvation in the dream as you are dreaming it. For idols must be part
Tx:30.37  share. God turns to you to ask the world be saved, for by your own  salvation it is healed. And no one walks upon the earth but must
Tx:30.55  Salvation is a paradox indeed! What could it be except a happy dream?
Tx:30.56  of terror that you made. No more than this is asked. Be glad indeed  salvation asks so little, not so much. It asks for nothing in
Tx:30.56  will and but restored to what he is. What could God's plan for his  salvation be, except a means to give him to Himself?
Tx:30.71  unforgivable nor overlook a real attack that calls for punishment.  Salvation does not lie in being asked to make unnatural responses
Tx:30.76  remain afraid to look within and find escape from every idol there.  Salvation rests on faith there cannot be some forms of guilt which
Tx:30.81  you been deceived in him who has been given you to heal, for your  salvation and deliverance?
Tx:30.90  cannot have the changelessness reality entails. The miracle attests  salvation from appearances by showing they can change. Your brother
Tx:31.1 How simple is  salvation! All it says is what was never true is not true now and
Tx:31.2  is a reason. But confuse it not with difficulty in the simple things  salvation asks you learn. It teaches but the very obvious. It merely
Tx:31.4  of God is guilty, say not that you cannot learn the simple things  salvation teaches you!
Tx:31.17  But hear the other, and you join with him, and in your answer is  salvation found. The voice you hear in him is but your own. What does
Tx:31.56  believes that he must find the answer to the riddle of himself.  Salvation can be seen as nothing more than the escape from concepts.
Tx:31.61 Yet in this learning is  salvation born. And what you are will tell you of Itself.
Tx:31.63  Salvation is undoing. If you choose to see the body, you behold a
Tx:31.63  where so much change is seen, for who is worthy if he be but dust?  Salvation is undoing of all this. And constancy arises in the sight
Tx:31.63  of all this. And constancy arises in the sight of those whose eyes  salvation has released from looking at the cost of keeping guilt
Tx:31.64  Salvation does not ask that you behold the Spirit and perceive the
Tx:31.64  not understand how to behold a world apart from it. It is your world  salvation will undo and let you see another world your eyes could
Tx:31.68 Learning is change.  Salvation does not seek to use a means as yet too alien to your
Tx:31.73  another way. Would you not rather look upon yourself as needed for  salvation of the world instead of as salvation's enemy?
Tx:31.75  part of true creation has the Lord of Love and Life entrusted all  salvation from the misery of hell. And to each one has He allowed the
Tx:31.76 The veil across the face of Christ, the fear of God and of  salvation, and the love of guilt and death, they all are different
Tx:31.78 —that he see his innocence in all he looks upon and sees his own  salvation everywhere. He holds no concept of himself between his calm

W1:39.3  Today's exercises will apply to you alone, recognizing that your  salvation is crucial to the salvation of the world. As you apply the
W1:39.3  to you alone, recognizing that your salvation is crucial to the  salvation of the world. As you apply the exercises to your own world,
W1:39.4  the end of guilt and therefore the end of hell. Your holiness is the  salvation of the world and your own. How could you to whom your
W1:39.7  subjects for today's exercises. It is imperative for your own  salvation that you see them differently. And it is your blessing on
W1:39.8  search your mind for every thought that stands between you and your  salvation. Apply the idea for today to each one of them in this way:
W1:39.9  thoughts about _____ are keeping me in hell. My holiness is my  salvation.
W1:39.11  be stated so that its meaning remains that your holiness is your  salvation.
W1:39.15 My holiness is my  salvation from this.
W1:43.2  see. Perception has no function in God and does not exist. Yet in  salvation, which is the undoing of what never was, perception has a
W1:44.8  you, and an awareness that you are attempting something very holy.  Salvation is your happiest accomplishment. It is also the only one
W1:46.2  awareness of God. For this reason, forgiveness can truly be called  salvation. It is the means by which illusions disappear.
W1:55.4  escape from the world by giving up attack thoughts. Herein lies my  salvation, and nowhere else. Without attack thoughts I could not see
W1:58.5 [39] My holiness is my  salvation. Since my holiness saves me from all guilt, recognizing my
W1:58.5  saves me from all guilt, recognizing my holiness is recognizing my  salvation. It is also recognizing the salvation of the world. Once I
W1:58.5  my holiness is recognizing my salvation. It is also recognizing the  salvation of the world. Once I have accepted my holiness, nothing can
W1:61.2  it for self-debasement. Humility consists of accepting your role in  salvation and in taking no other. It is not humility to insist that
W1:61.3  on earth. It is a giant stride toward taking your rightful place in  salvation. It is a positive assertion of your right to be saved and
W1:61.9  views of what you are and what your purpose is. As a bringer of  salvation, this is obviously necessary. This is the first of a number
W1:61.10 You are the light of the world. God has built His plan for the  salvation of His Son on you.
W1:62.1  return to your memory. Therefore in your forgiveness lies your  salvation.
W1:63.2  no idle request that is being asked of you. You are asked to accept  salvation that it may be yours to give.
W1:63.4  through my forgiveness. I am the means God has appointed for the  salvation of the world.
W1:63.6 Remember that God's Son looks to you for his  salvation. And who but your Self must be His Son?
W1:64.2  appearance of temptation becomes the spiritual recognition of  salvation.
W1:64.4 The world's  salvation awaits your forgiveness, because through it does the Son of
W1:65.1 The idea for today reaffirms your commitment to  salvation. It also reminds you that you have no function other than
W1:65.1  of these thoughts are obviously necessary for a total commitment.  Salvation cannot be the only purpose you hold while you still cherish
W1:65.1  you hold while you still cherish others. The full acceptance of  salvation as your only function necessarily entails two phases: the
W1:65.1  only function necessarily entails two phases: the recognition of  salvation as your function and the relinquishment of all the other
W1:65.11  conflicts once and for all, and the extent to which you really want  salvation in spite of your own foolish ideas to the contrary.
W1:66.11  has taken in your mind and the many ways in which you tried to find  salvation under the ego's guidance. Did you find it? Were you happy?
W1:67.1  the world's savior. This is why the Son of God looks to you for his  salvation. He is saved by what you are.
W1:69.1  of your grievances is lifted, you are released with him. Share your  salvation now with him who stood beside you when you were in hell. He
W1:69.2  trying to do. We are literally attempting to get in touch with the  salvation of the world. We are trying to see past the veil of
W1:69.3  and real determination to reach what is dearer to us than all else.  Salvation is our only need. There is no other purpose here and no
W1:69.3  is no other purpose here and no other function to fulfill. Learning  salvation is our only goal. Let us end the ancient search today by
W1:69.10  what I have hidden. Yet I want to let it be revealed to me for my  salvation and the salvation of the world.
W1:69.10  Yet I want to let it be revealed to me for my salvation and the  salvation of the world.
W1:70.1  some form of the basic temptation not to believe the idea for today.  Salvation seems to come from anywhere except from you. So, too, does
W1:70.1  you. So, too, does the source of guilt. You see neither guilt nor  salvation as in your own mind and nowhere else. When you realize that
W1:70.1  an invention of your mind, you must also realize that guilt and  salvation must be in the same place. Understanding this you are saved.
W1:70.3  accepted. And you must surely begin to see that accepting it is  salvation. It may not, however, be clear to you why the recognition
W1:70.3  that guilt is in your own mind entails the realization that  salvation is there as well.
W1:70.8  idea for today, adding a statement signifying your recognition that  salvation comes from nothing outside of you. You might put it this
W1:70.9 My  salvation comes from me. It cannot come from anywhere else.
W1:70.10  to reviewing some of the external places where you have looked for  salvation in the past—in other people, in possessions, in various
W1:70.11 My  salvation cannot come from any of these things. My salvation comes
W1:70.11 My salvation cannot come from any of these things. My  salvation comes from me, and only from me.
W1:70.12 Now we will try again to reach the light in you, which is where your  salvation is. You cannot find it in the clouds that surround the
W1:70.13 Since all illusions of  salvation have failed you, surely you do not want to remain in the
W1:70.13  idols there when you could so easily walk on into the light of real  salvation. Try to pass the clouds by whatever means appeals to you.
W1:70.14  short and frequent practice periods today, remind yourself that your  salvation comes from you and nothing but your own thoughts can hamper
W1:70.14  are free from all external interference. You are in charge of your  salvation. You are in charge of the salvation of the world. Say, then:
W1:70.14  You are in charge of your salvation. You are in charge of the  salvation of the world. Say, then:
W1:70.15 My  salvation comes from me. Nothing outside of me can hold me back.
W1:70.15  me. Nothing outside of me can hold me back. Within me is the world's  salvation and my own.
W1:71.1 You may not realize that the ego has set up a plan for  salvation in opposition to God's. It is this plan in which you
W1:71.2 The ego's plan for  salvation centers around holding grievances. It maintains that if
W1:71.2  or event were changed, you would be saved. Thus the source of  salvation is constantly perceived as outside yourself.
W1:71.3  I would be saved.” The change of mind that is necessary for  salvation is thus demanded of everyone and everything except yourself.
W1:71.4  to be saved. According to this insane plan, any perceived source of  salvation is acceptable, provided that it will not work. This ensures
W1:71.5 Such is the ego's plan for your  salvation. Surely you can see how it is in strict accord with the
W1:71.5  find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you will not find  salvation than to channelize all your efforts in searching for it
W1:71.6 God's plan for  salvation works simply because, by following His direction, you seek
W1:71.6  works simply because, by following His direction, you seek for  salvation where it is. But if you are to succeed, as God promises you
W1:71.6  purpose is divided, and you will attempt to follow two plans for  salvation which are diametrically opposed in all ways. The result can
W1:71.7  Very simply. The idea for today is the answer. Only God's plan for  salvation will work. There can be no real conflict about this,
W1:71.8  with no resolution possible. All things are possible to God.  Salvation must be yours because of His plan, which cannot fail.
W1:71.9  each making equal contribution to the whole. God's plan for your  salvation will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself
W1:71.12  let Him tell you what needs to be done by you in His plan for your  salvation. He will answer you in proportion to your willingness to
W1:71.13  the shorter practice periods tell yourself often that God's plan for  salvation, and only His, will work. Be alert to all temptation to
W1:71.14 Holding grievances is the opposite of God's plan for  salvation. And only His plan will work.
W1:71.15  to spend a half-minute or less than to remember the Source of your  salvation and to see it where it is.
W1:72.1 While we have recognized that the ego's plan for  salvation is the opposite of God's, we have not yet emphasized that
W1:72.3  so apparent why holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for  salvation. But let us consider the kinds of things which you are apt
W1:72.5 If God is a body, what must His plan for  salvation be? What could it be but death? In trying to present
W1:72.6  that he is a body and condemns him for it. And it asserts that his  salvation must be death, projecting this attack onto God and holding
W1:72.7  The body is your only savior. It is the death of God and your  salvation.
W1:72.8  center of your concept of yourself, you are attacking God's plan for  salvation and holding your grievances against Him and His creation,
W1:72.9 We will try today to stop these senseless attacks on  salvation. We will try to welcome it instead. Your upside-down
W1:72.10  as separate from the body is to end the attack on God's plan for  salvation and to accept it instead. And wherever His plan is
W1:72.11  longer practice periods today is to become aware that God's plan for  salvation has already been accomplished in us. To achieve this goal,
W1:72.12 What is  salvation, Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may understand.
W1:72.14 We have attacked God's plan for  salvation without waiting to hear what it is. We have shouted our
W1:72.14  and stop our ears. Now we would see and hear and learn. “What is  salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you will
W1:72.15 We are no longer asking the ego what  salvation is and where to find it. We are asking it of truth. Be
W1:72.16 What is  salvation, Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may understand.
W1:72.19 Holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for  salvation. Let me accept it instead. What is salvation, Father?
W1:72.19  on God's plan for salvation. Let me accept it instead. What is  salvation, Father?
W1:73.6  of grievances is easily passed and cannot stand between you and your  salvation. The reason is very simple. Do you really want to be in
W1:73.7  it is happiness you really want. Such is your will in truth. And so  salvation is your will as well. You want to succeed in what we are
W1:73.8 We will succeed today if you remember that you will  salvation for yourself. You will to accept God's plan because you
W1:73.8  no will that can really oppose it, and you do not want to do so.  Salvation is for you. Above all else you want the freedom to remember
W1:73.10  our longer practice periods with the recognition that God's plan for  salvation, and only His, is wholly in accord with your will. It is
W1:76.1  observed before how many senseless things have seemed to you to be  salvation. Each has imprisoned you with laws as senseless as itself.
W1:76.1  by them. Yet to understand that this is so, you must first realize  salvation lies not there. While you would seek for it in things that
W1:76.1  bind yourself to laws that make no sense. Thus do you seek to prove  salvation is where it is not.
W1:76.2  never find it. The idea for today tells you once again how simple is  salvation. Look for it where it waits for you, and there it will be
W1:77.1  offer miracles because you are one with God. Again, how simple is  salvation! It is merely a statement of your true Identity. It is this
W1:77.5  the assurance that your request is granted. You have asked for the  salvation of the world and for your own. You have requested that you
W1:78.12  throughout the day and take the role assigned to us as part of God's  salvation plan, and not our own. Temptation falls away when we allow
W1:80.1  answered, and you have no other. Therefore you must be at peace.  Salvation does depend on recognizing this one problem and
W1:80.1  understanding that it has been solved. One problem—one solution.  Salvation is accomplished. Freedom from conflict has been given you.
W1:80.1  and you are ready to take your rightful place in God's plan for  salvation.
W1:80.2  laid deception aside and seen the light of truth. You have accepted  salvation for yourself by bringing the problem to the answer. And you
W1:80.5  the problem has one solution. It is in this that the simplicity of  salvation lies. It is because of this that it is guaranteed to work.
W1:R2.4  into detours, illusions, and thoughts of death. You are dedicated to  salvation. Be determined each day not to leave your function
W1:85.5 [70] My  salvation comes from me. Today I will recognize where my salvation
W1:85.5 [70] My salvation comes from me. Today I will recognize where my  salvation is. It is in me because its Source is there. It has not
W1:85.7 Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my  salvation. I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the
W1:85.7  I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my  salvation. This has no power to remove salvation from me.
W1:85.7  awareness of the Source of my salvation. This has no power to remove  salvation from me.
W1:86.2 [71] Only God's plan for  salvation will work. It is senseless for me to search wildly about
W1:86.2  will work. It is senseless for me to search wildly about for  salvation. I have seen it in many people and in many things, but when
W1:86.2  it is. I will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for  salvation will work. And I will rejoice because His plan can never
W1:86.4 God's plan for  salvation will save me from my perception of this. This is no
W1:86.4  my perception of this. This is no exception in God's plan for my  salvation. Let me perceive this only in the light of God's plan for
W1:86.4  salvation. Let me perceive this only in the light of God's plan for  salvation.
W1:86.5 [72] Holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for  salvation. Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God's plan
W1:86.5  Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God's plan for  salvation will not work. Yet only His plan will work. By holding
W1:86.5  By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only hope of  salvation from my awareness. I would no longer defeat my own best
W1:86.5  own best interests in this insane way. I would accept God's plan for  salvation and be happy.
W1:86.7 I am choosing between misperception and  salvation as I look on this. If I see grounds for grievances in this,
W1:86.7  grounds for grievances in this, I will not see the grounds for my  salvation. This calls for salvation, not attack.
W1:86.7  in this, I will not see the grounds for my salvation. This calls for  salvation, not attack.
W1:88.2 [75] The light has come. In choosing  salvation rather than attack, I merely choose to recognize what is
W1:88.2  than attack, I merely choose to recognize what is already here.  Salvation is a decision made already. Attack and grievances are not
W1:89.5  my illusions be replaced with truth according to God's plan for my  salvation. I would make no exceptions and no substitutes. I want all
W1:89.7 I would not hold this grievance apart from my  salvation. Let our grievances be replaced by miracles, [name]. Beyond
W1:90.2  the grievance be replaced. Today I would remember the simplicity of  salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one problem and one
W1:93.2  That you have made mistakes is obvious. That you have sought  salvation in strange ways—have been deceived, deceiving, and afraid
W1:93.7  Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought—you are as God
W1:93.17 You can do much for the world's  salvation today. You can do much today to bring you closer to
W1:93.17  You can do much today to bring you closer to accepting the part in  salvation which God has assigned to you. And you can do much today to
W1:94.1 Today we continue with the one idea which brings complete  salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of temptation
W1:94.1  world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is  salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored.
W1:95.6  the ideal requirement for the most beneficial form of practice in  salvation. It is advantageous, however, for those whose motivation is
W1:96.7  mean in truth? What purpose could it serve? What is it for?  Salvation cannot make illusions real and solve a problem that does
W1:96.8  within your mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy Spirit holds  salvation in your mind and offers it the way to peace. Salvation is a
W1:96.8  Spirit holds salvation in your mind and offers it the way to peace.  Salvation is a thought you share with God, because His Voice accepted
W1:96.8  it for you and answered in your name that it was done. Thus is  salvation kept among the thoughts your Self holds dear and cherishes
W1:96.9  five minute practicing will be a search for Him within your mind.  Salvation comes from this One Self through Him Who is the bridge
W1:96.12  Salvation comes from my One Self. Its thoughts are mine to use.
W1:96.14  in their place. Here are your thoughts, the only ones you have.  Salvation is among them; find it there.
W1:96.17 Each time today you tell your frantic mind  salvation comes from your One Self, you lay another treasure in your
W1:97.3  and over, for the miracle makes use of time but is not ruled by it.  Salvation is a miracle, the first and last; the first that is the
W1:98.1  position with the one. We dedicate ourselves to truth today and to  salvation as God planned it be. We will not argue it is something
W1:98.9 I will accept my part in God's plan for  salvation.
W1:99.1  Salvation and forgiveness are the same. They both imply that
W1:99.2  happened. The impossible becomes the thing you need forgiveness for,  salvation from. Salvation is the borderland between the truth and
W1:99.2  becomes the thing you need forgiveness for, salvation from.  Salvation is the borderland between the truth and illusion. It
W1:99.7  Salvation is your function with the One to Whom the plan was given.
W1:99.8  Salvation is my only function here. God still is Love, and this is
W1:99.13  Salvation is my only function here. Salvation and forgiveness are the
W1:99.13 Salvation is my only function here.  Salvation and forgiveness are the same.
W1:99.15  of God. Forgive yourself the one you think you made. Forgiveness and  salvation are the same. Forgive what you have made, and you are saved.
W1:99.17  Salvation is my only function here. God still is Love, and this is
W1:99.19  Salvation is my only function here.
W1:100.1  his Father, so your part in it completes your Father's plan.  Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and
W1:100.11  every time you tell yourself you are essential to God's plan for the  salvation of the world.
W1:101.1  the theme of happiness. This is a key idea in understanding what  salvation means. You still believe it asks for suffering as penance
W1:101.1  sin. If sin is real, then punishment is just and cannot be escaped.  Salvation thus cannot be purchased but through suffering.
W1:101.3 If sin is real,  salvation must be pain. Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering can
W1:101.3  the cost of sin, and suffering can never be escaped if sin is real.  Salvation must be feared, for it will kill but slowly, taking
W1:101.3  boon of death to victims who are little more than bones before  salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but wholly
W1:101.4 Who would seek out such savage punishment? Who would not flee  salvation and attempt in every way he can to drown the Voice Which
W1:101.4  to match the vicious wishes in which sin is born. If sin is real,  salvation has become your bitter enemy, the curse of God upon you who
W1:102.3  safety is. Here is your peace, and here there is no fear. Here is  salvation. Here is rest at last.
W1:104.4  practice periods today, the hourly five minutes given truth for your  salvation, should begin with this:
W1:106.1  if you will listen with an open mind, which has not told you what  salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in
W1:106.6  who wait to hear the Word that He will speak today. Be ready for  salvation. It is here and will today be given unto you. And you will
W1:106.7  and thus become the joyous giver of what you received. Thus does  salvation start and thus it ends; when everything is yours, and
W1:108.5  correction or that to forgive one brother wholly is enough to bring  salvation to all minds. For these are but some special cases of one
W1:R3.4  mind about your goal. You are unwilling to cooperate in practicing  salvation only if it interferes with goals you hold more dear. When
W1:R3.7  It will not fail. It is the Holy Spirit's chosen means for your  salvation. Since it has His trust, His means must surely merit yours
W1:113.3 [96]  Salvation comes from my One Self. From my One Self, Whose knowledge
W1:113.3  still remains Within my mind, I see God's perfect plan For my  salvation perfectly fulfilled.
W1:113.7  Salvation comes from my One Self.
W1:114.3 [98] I will accept my part in God's plan for  salvation. What can my function be but to accept the Word of God, Who
W1:114.7 I will accept my part in God's plan for  salvation.
W1:115.2 [99]  Salvation is my only function here. My function here is to forgive
W1:115.3 [100] My part is essential to God's plan for  salvation. I am essential to the plan of God for the salvation of the
W1:115.3  God's plan for salvation. I am essential to the plan of God for the  salvation of the world. For He gave me His plan that I might save the
W1:115.5  Salvation is my only function here.
W1:115.7 My part is essential to God's plan for  salvation.
W1:121.7  your forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. And as you teach  salvation, you will learn.
W1:122.5  no more. You will not find another one instead. God's plan for your  salvation cannot change, nor can it fail. Be thankful it remains
W1:122.6  As you give, you will receive. There is no plan but this for the  salvation of the Son of God. Let us today rejoice that this is so,
W1:122.7  is the answer! Do not turn away in aimless wandering again. Accept  salvation now. It is the gift of God and not the world. The world can
W1:122.7  a mind which has received what God has given as its own. God wills  salvation be received today and that the intricacies of your dreams
W1:122.9  our practicing today with hope and faith that this will be the day  salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it
W1:123.3  Himself. Be grateful you are saved. Be glad you have a function in  salvation to fulfill. Be thankful that your value far transcends your
W1:125.4  give to you His holy Word to spread across the world the tidings of  salvation and the holy time of peace. We gather at the throne of God
W1:126.1  of goal, and sure direction. You would understand the means by which  salvation comes to you and would not hesitate to use it now.
W1:126.5  for his sin. Think you the Lord of Heaven would allow the world's  salvation to depend on this? Would not His care for you be small
W1:126.5  depend on this? Would not His care for you be small indeed if your  salvation rested on a whim?
W1:126.7  empty gestures and evaluate such petty gifts as worthy of His Son?  Salvation is a better gift than this, and true forgiveness, as the
W1:127.9 Today the legion of the future years of waiting for  salvation disappears before the timelessness of what you learn. Let
W1:128.3 Escape today the chains you place upon your mind when you perceive  salvation here. For what you value you make part of you as you
W1:128.4 Let nothing which relates to body thoughts delay your progress to  salvation, nor permit temptation to believe the world has anything
W1:132.2 Yet is  salvation easily achieved, for anyone is free to change his mind, and
W1:132.11  for today except another way of saying that to know your Self is the  salvation of the world? To free the world from every kind of pain is
W1:134.1  must be seen as mere eccentric folly, and this course appear to rest  salvation on a whim.
W1:135.27  you. Today we will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your  salvation. And you rise again from what was seeming death and
W1:136.10  life, Heaven more frail than hell, and God's design for the  salvation of His Son opposed by a decision stronger than His Will.
W1:137.1 Today's idea remains the central thought on which  salvation rests. For healing is the opposite of all the world's ideas
W1:137.9  Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle lessons teach how easily  salvation can be yours, how little practice you need undertake to let
W1:138.7  are opposites resolved, for ending opposition is to die. And thus  salvation must be seen as death, for life is seen as conflict. To
W1:138.8  relinquish its ideas about its own protection. It must be saved from  salvation, threatened to be safe, and magically armored against
W1:140.13 Only  salvation can be said to cure. Speak to us, Father, that we may be
W1:140.14 And we will feel  salvation cover us with soft protection and with peace so deep that
W1:R4.4  co-creator with Himself. It is this thought which fully guarantees  salvation to the Son. For in his mind no thoughts can dwell but those
W1:150.2 [140] Only  salvation can be said to cure.
W1:151.17 And we will hourly remember Him Who is  salvation and deliverance. As we give thanks the world unites with us
W1:152.1  all details. Here is its whole reality for you. And it is only here  salvation is.
W1:152.3  Salvation is the recognition that the truth is true and nothing else
W1:153.9  we stand secure, serenely certain of our safety now, sure of  salvation; sure we will fulfill our chosen purpose as our ministry
W1:153.11  is but their own. And while you fail to teach what you have learned,  salvation waits and darkness holds the world in grim imprisonment.
W1:153.12  Salvation can be thought of as a game that happy children play. It
W1:153.12  of fear is gladly laid aside when children come to see the benefits  salvation brings.
W1:153.15  now becomes the least we give to preparation for a day in which  salvation is the only goal we have. Ten would be better; 15 better

W1:154.4  through the Voice of God of Father and of Son that sets apart  salvation from the world. It is this Voice which speaks of laws the
W1:154.4  Voice which speaks of laws the world does not obey, which promises  salvation from all sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that God
W1:156.6 This is the way  salvation works. As you step back, the Light in you steps forward and
W1:159.1  The world believes that to possess a thing, it must be kept.  Salvation teaches otherwise. To give is how to recognize you have
W1:159.7  and welcome. No one will be turned away from this new home where his  salvation waits. No one is stranger to him. No one asks for anything
W1:160.10  by which his Self is clearly recognized, his home remembered, and  salvation come.
W1:161.1  anger, that our fears may disappear and offer room to love. Here is  salvation in the simple words in which we practice today's idea. Here
W1:161.10  is enemy to you, for you will not perceive that in his hands is your  salvation. Ask him but for this, and he will give it to you. Ask him
W1:161.12 Select one brother, symbol of the rest, and ask  salvation of him. See him first as clearly as you can in that same
W1:162.5  right to perfect holiness you now accept. With this acceptance is  salvation brought to everyone, for who could cherish sin when
W1:163.8  There is no death, and we renounce it now in every form for their  salvation and our own as well. God made not death. Whatever form it
W1:164.6  on them in a new light. And what you see becomes the healing and  salvation of the world. The valuable and valueless are both perceived
W1:164.8  within your mind where Christ can come and offer you the treasure of  salvation. He has need of your most holy mind to save the world.
W1:164.9  fail? Can you withhold so little when His Hand holds out complete  salvation to His Son?
W1:165.6 Now is all doubting past, the journey's end made certain, and  salvation given you. Now is Christ's power in your mind to heal as
W1:169.6  where the past and future cannot be conceived. It lies beyond  salvation—past all thought of time, forgiveness, and the holy face
W1:169.10  what all the rest depends on. As you take the role assigned to you,  salvation comes a little nearer each uncertain heart that does not
W1:169.10  with God. Forgiveness is the central theme which runs throughout  salvation, holding all its parts in meaningful relationships, the
W1:169.11 And now we ask for grace, the final gift  salvation can bestow. Experience that grace provides will end in
W1:170.14  all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring them Your  salvation as we have received it now. And we give thanks for them who
W1:183.10  your own remembering. You can accept today the part you play in its  salvation and your own as well, and both can be accomplished
W1:184.15  the truth You give in place of every one of them. Your Name is our  salvation and escape from what we made. Your Name unites us in the
W1:186.5  instead. Judge not your value to it. If God's Voice assures you that  salvation needs your part and that the whole depends on you, be sure
W1:186.7  the threat it does not know, sensing its basis crumble. Let it go.  Salvation of the world depends on you and not upon this little pile

W1:187.3  before you give them. If you are to save the world, you first accept  salvation for yourself. But you will not believe that this is done
W1:188.4  and the world restores the memory to you as well. From you  salvation radiates with gifts beyond all measure, given and returned.

W1:191.8  cannot be in pain; I cannot lose, nor can I fail to do all that  salvation asks.
W1:191.12  today. Your glory is the light that saves the world. Do not withhold  salvation longer. Look about the world, and see the suffering there.
W1:193.9  dream of sin and rid the mind of fear. These are the words by which  salvation comes to all the world.
W1:193.12  the gifts His Love brings with it. Would you now renounce your own  salvation? Would you fail to learn the simple lessons Heaven's
W1:193.17  look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him and to  salvation of the world.
W1:194.1 Today's idea takes another step toward quick  salvation, and a giant stride it is indeed! So great the distance is
W1:194.2  that locked the door to freedom on it. You are saved, and your  salvation thus becomes the gift you give the world because you have
W1:194.6  you extend your learning to the world. And as you learn to see  salvation in all things, so will the world perceive that it is saved.
W1:196.4  freedom. Let us take this step today that we may quickly go the way  salvation shows us, taking every step in its appointed sequence as
W1:196.5  escape yourself has nailed you to the cross. Perhaps it seemed to be  salvation. Yet it merely stood for the belief the fear of God is
W1:196.9  of God projection hides behind. The thing you dread the most is your  salvation. You are strong, and it is strength you want. And you are
W1:196.9  weak and bound because you feared your strength and freedom. Yet  salvation lies in them.
W1:196.11  can kill at last. Yet in this instant is the time as well in which  salvation comes. For fear of God has disappeared. And you can call on
W1:197.2  their thoughts can do. Deny your strength, and weakness must become  salvation to you. See yourself as bound, and bars become your home.
W1:197.2  you leave the prison house or claim your strength until guilt and  salvation are not seen as one, and freedom and salvation are
W1:197.2  until guilt and salvation are not seen as one, and freedom and  salvation are perceived as joined, with strength beside them, to be
W1:198.5  in your hand? Is it not more intelligent to thank the One Who gives  salvation, and accept His gift with gratitude? And is it not a

W2:327.1 I am not asked to take  salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith. For God has promised
W2:328.1  our independence from the rest of God's creation is the way in which  salvation is obtained. Yet all we find is sickness, suffering and

Tx:11.71  it is because you saw something that is not there. Yet in that  same place, you could have looked upon me and all your brothers in
Tx:12.50  is real. It extends to all aspects of consciousness at the  same time and thus enables them to reach each other. The present is
Tx:12.60  the amount to which you hold it dear. And yet their power is not the  same because their real attraction to you is unequal.
Tx:13.5  whole, you cannot know this until you see that every aspect is the  same, perceived in the same light and therefore one. Everyone seen
Tx:13.5  this until you see that every aspect is the same, perceived in the  same light and therefore one. Everyone seen without the past thus
Tx:13.6 They are all the  same; all beautiful and equal in their holiness. And He will offer
Tx:13.15  form, in anyone, believe this not. For sin and condemnation are the  same, and the belief in one is faith in the other, calling for
Tx:13.64  and the interference in your motivation for learning is exactly the  same as that which interferes with all your thinking. The happy
Tx:14.6  the Atonement, but the message given to each to share is always the  same—God's Son is guiltless. Each one teaches the message
Tx:14.28  is instantly apparent. One will go because the other is seen in the  same place. Light cannot enter darkness when a mind believes in
Tx:14.44  who look upon it is not obscure, for everyone perceives it as the  same. All bring their different problems to its healing light, but
Tx:14.45 The response of holiness to any form of error is always the  same. There is no contradiction in what holiness calls forth. Its one
Tx:14.51 The miracle offers exactly the  same response to every call for help. It does not judge the call. It
Tx:15.7  underneath its fanatical insistence that the past and future be the  same is hidden a far more insidious threat to peace. The ego does not
Tx:15.52  Without the values from the past, you would see them all the  same and like yourself. Nor would you see any separation between
Tx:15.95  for you made but one mistake. It seems like many, but it is all the  same. For though the ego takes many forms, it is always the same
Tx:15.95  all the same. For though the ego takes many forms, it is always the  same idea. What is not love is always fear and nothing else. It is
Tx:15.95  regard them not as separate but as different manifestations of the  same idea, and one you do not want, they go together. The idea is
Tx:15.112  the Great Awakening. Make this year different by making it all the  same. And let all your relationships be made holy for you. This is
Tx:16.45  is true. In Heaven, where the meaning of love is known, love is the  same as union. Here, where the illusion of love is accepted in love's
Tx:16.56  do this to the extent to which you want them to be true. And to the  same extent you are denying truth, and so are making yourself unable
Tx:17.6  through fantasy, you are refusing to forgive yourself for just this  same attempt. And you are holding both of you away from truth and
Tx:17.25  and fear, truth or illusion, freedom or slavery—it is all the  same. For you can never choose except between God and the ego.
Tx:17.55  gladly arrange the means for its accomplishment? It is just this  same discrepancy between the purpose that has been accepted and the
Tx:17.64  you did not believe that the situation and the problem were in the  same place. The problem was the lack of faith, and it is this you
Tx:17.72  Your faith will call the others to share your purpose, as this  same purpose called forth the faith in you. And you will see the
Tx:17.74  given it is also given to every situation. It calls forth just the  same suspension of faithlessness, withheld and left unused, that
Tx:18.2  they are one. Being united, they are one because they are the  same. Substitution is clearly a process in which they are perceived
Tx:18.7  and nothing else. Yet what else is necessary to make them all the  same?
Tx:18.19  with you. And what you seem to wake to is but another form of this  same world you see in dreams. All your time is spent in dreaming.
Tx:18.19  dreams have different forms, and that is all. Their content is the  same. They are your protest against reality and your fixed and insane
Tx:18.23  natural. For as your sleeping and your waking dreams represent the  same wishes in your mind, so do the real world and the truth of
Tx:18.64  Afterwards, you will see the body again, but never quite the  same. And every instant that you spend without awareness of it gives
Tx:19.6 Both cannot be together nor perceived in the  same place. To dedicate yourself to both is to set up a goal forever
Tx:19.13  then, offer grace and blessing to each other, for you stand at the  same altar where grace was laid for both of you. And be you healed by
Tx:19.44  There is no order of difficulty in miracles, for they are all the  same. Each is a gentle winning over from the appeal of guilt to the
Tx:19.49  other looks upon does not exist. Fear looks on guilt with just the  same devotion that love looks on itself. And each has messengers
Tx:19.71  the pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be the  same as pain.
Tx:19.73  and both also recognize that here the sender and receiver are the  same. The Holy Spirit tells you this with joy. The ego hides it, for
Tx:19.94 Every obstacle that peace must flow across is surmounted in just the  same way; the fear that raised it yields to the love beneath, and so
Tx:19.106  you. And be you free together, as you offer to the Holy Spirit this  same gift. And giving it, receive it of Him in return for what you
Tx:19.106  me together that we might meet here in this holy place and make the  same decision.
Tx:20.32  of separation, each is appointed separately, though they are all the  same. Yet those who know that they are all the same need not
Tx:20.32  they are all the same. Yet those who know that they are all the  same need not salvation. And each one finds his savior when he is
Tx:20.41  of eternity that runs through time like golden light is all the  same—nothing before it, nothing afterwards.
Tx:20.58  said the means to meet the Holy Spirit's goal will come from the  same Source as does His purpose. Being so simple and direct, this
Tx:20.74  each different and with different values. Yet they are all the  same. Again there is no order but a seeming hierarchy of values.
Tx:21.12 And now the blind can see, for that  same song they sing in honor of their Creator gives praise to them as
Tx:21.13  repeated how little is asked of you to learn this course. It is the  same small willingness you need to have your whole relationship
Tx:21.25  your own Creator and be father and not son to Him. This is the  same desire. The Son is the effect, whose Cause he would deny. And so
Tx:21.26  as that you recognize that you did not create yourself. They are the  same mistake. Nothing created not by your Creator has any influence
Tx:21.28  independence of its source that kept you prisoner. This is the  same delusion that you are independent of the Source by which you
Tx:21.53  been there since the need for Him arose and was fulfilled in the  same instant. Such would your reason tell you if you listened. Yet
Tx:21.54  answer be but in the Source? And where are you but there, where this  same answer is? Your Identity, as much a true effect of this same
Tx:21.54  this same answer is? Your Identity, as much a true effect of this  same Source as is the answer, must therefore be together and the same.
Tx:21.54  same Source as is the answer, must therefore be together and the  same.
Tx:21.59  you deny it to yourself and to your brother. And if he shares this  same belief, you both will think that you are damned. This you could
Tx:21.61  by accepting reason where madness was. Madness and reason see the  same things, but it is certain that they look upon them differently.
Tx:21.65  The instant that you choose to let yourself be healed, in that  same instant is his whole salvation seen as complete with yours.
Tx:21.76  and unlike the others. Yet reason would assure you they are all the  same. We said this year would emphasize the sameness of things that
Tx:21.76  said this year would emphasize the sameness of things that are the  same. This final question, which is indeed the last you need decide,
Tx:21.81  the final question so important? Reason will tell you why. It is the  same as are the other three except in time. The others are decisions
Tx:21.81  can desire to exchange your helplessness for power, and lose this  same desire as a little glint of sin attracts you. And you can want
Tx:21.82 In content, all the questions are the  same. For each one asks if you are willing to exchange the world of
Tx:21.87  is in what He knows, it looks on everything and sees it is the  same. It sees not the ephemeral, for it desires that everything be
Tx:22.1  No two can look on sin together, for they could never see it in the  same place and time. Sin is a strictly individual perception, seen in
Tx:22.1  error, and one the other cannot understand. Brothers, it is the  same, made by the same, and forgiven for its maker in the same way.
Tx:22.1  the other cannot understand. Brothers, it is the same, made by the  same, and forgiven for its maker in the same way.
Tx:22.1  it is the same, made by the same, and forgiven for its maker in the  same way.
Tx:22.2  bodies perhaps under a common roof that shelters neither—in the  same room and yet a world apart.
Tx:22.15 Christ comes to what is like Himself; the  same, not different. For He is always drawn unto Himself. What is as
Tx:22.16  alternatives and different from each other. In truth they are the  same. Both bring the same amount of misery, though each one seems to
Tx:22.16  from each other. In truth they are the same. Both bring the  same amount of misery, though each one seems to be the way to lose
Tx:22.19  from misery is to recognize it and go the other way. Truth is the  same and misery the same, but they are different from each other in
Tx:22.19  recognize it and go the other way. Truth is the same and misery the  same, but they are different from each other in every way, in every
Tx:22.19  To believe that one exception can exist is to confuse what is the  same with what is different. One illusion cherished and defended
Tx:22.20  and the ego will tell you this, but what they make of it is not the  same. The ego will assure you now that it is impossible for you to
Tx:22.22 Forsake not now each other. For you who are the  same will not decide alone nor differently. Either you give each
Tx:22.24  that what you made has power to enslave its maker. This is the  same belief that caused the separation. It is the meaningless idea
Tx:22.24  but its enemies. And here we see again another form of the  same fundamental illusion we have seen many times before. Only if it
Tx:22.55  all confusion, observing merely, “This was a mistake.” And then the  same Atonement you accepted in your relationship corrects the error
Tx:22.64  thought in one brings gladness to the other because they are the  same. Joy is unlimited because each shining thought of love extends
Tx:22.65  denies the ego. Let truth decide if you be different or the  same and teach you which is true.
Tx:23.9  you share with it. And yet illusions cannot join. They are the  same, and they are nothing. Their joining lies in nothingness; two
Tx:23.21  to overcome than others. If it were realized that they are all the  same and equally untrue, it would be easy, then, to understand that
Tx:23.43  little, and know the difference. Thus it would teach a little of the  same can still be different, and yet the same remain intact as one.
Tx:23.43  would teach a little of the same can still be different, and yet the  same remain intact as one. Does this make sense? Can it be understood?
Tx:23.47  Heaven is wholly true. No difference enters, and what is all the  same cannot conflict. You are not asked to fight against your wish to
Tx:23.47  murder. But you are asked to realize the form it takes conceals the  same intent. And it is this you fear and not the form. What is not
Tx:23.48  are incompatible. Yet if they both are true, then must they be the  same and indistinguishable from one another. So will they be to those
Tx:23.49  the function of the Son is murder, but it is insanity. What is the  same can have no different function. Creation is the means for God's
Tx:23.54  It is their past, their present, and their future always the  same, eternally complete, and wholly shared. They know it is
Tx:24.5  the special could have enemies, for they are different and not the  same. And difference of any kind imposes orders of reality and a need
Tx:24.8  him if you realized you journey with him to a goal that is the  same? Would you not help him reach it in every way you could if his
Tx:24.10  it teaches you you are alike. You have no purpose that is not the  same and none your Father does not share with you. For your
Tx:24.11  be peace among the different. He is your friend because you are the  same.
Tx:24.18  him and in yourself. But be you certain that the truth is just the  same in both. It gives no different messages and has one meaning. And
Tx:24.20  enemies and bound in hate to kill each other and deny they are the  same. Yet it is not illusions which have reached this final obstacle
Tx:24.22  gave you to him and him to you because He gave Himself. What is the  same as God is one with Him. And only specialness could make the
Tx:24.29  oppose His Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can ever be the  same while specialness stands like a flaming sword of death between
Tx:24.30  rise between what He wills for you and what you will. They are the  same, for neither one wills specialness. How could they will the
Tx:24.46  for He knows that love is in you now and safely held in you by that  same hand that holds your brother's in your own. Christ's hand holds
Tx:25.11 What is the  same can not be different, and what is one can not have separate
Tx:25.22 You are the  same, as God Himself is one and not divided in His Will. And you must
Tx:25.22  in His Will. And you must have one purpose, since He gave the  same to both of you. His Will is brought together as you join in will
Tx:25.25  But this world has two who made it, and they do not see it as the  same. To each it has a different purpose, and to each it is a perfect
Tx:25.29  then is justified? What do you want? For these two questions are the  same. And when you see them as the same, your choice is made. For it
Tx:25.29  For these two questions are the same. And when you see them as the  same, your choice is made. For it is seeing them as one that brings
Tx:25.33  in its effects on you. Because you chose it as a means to gain these  same effects, believing them to be the bringers of rejoicing and of
Tx:25.51  and sure as Heaven. How could it be that hell and Heaven are the  same? And is it possible that what He did not will cannot be changed?
Tx:25.56  appears most sensible and meaningful to you. The content is the  same. The form is suited to your special needs and to the special
Tx:25.59  plan to show His Sons that hell and Heaven are different, not the  same. And that in Heaven they are all the same, without the
Tx:25.59  are different, not the same. And that in Heaven they are all the  same, without the differences which would have made a hell of Heaven
Tx:25.65  the world knows nothing. To the world, justice and vengeance are the  same, for sinners see justice only as their punishment, perhaps
Tx:25.66  still can ask and learn the answer. Justice looks on all in the  same way. It is not just that one should lack for what another has.
Tx:25.72  due. For love and justice are not different. Because they are the  same does mercy stand at God's right hand and give the Son of God the
Tx:25.76  too. How can the special really understand that justice is the  same for everyone? To take from one to give another must be an
Tx:25.76  they are equal in the Holy Spirit's sight. Their Father gave the  same inheritance to both. Who would have more or less is not aware
Tx:25.87  and given equally. It is awareness that giving and receiving are the  same. Because it does not make the same unlike, it sees no
Tx:25.87  that giving and receiving are the same. Because it does not make the  same unlike, it sees no differences where none exist. And thus it is
Tx:25.87  unlike, it sees no differences where none exist. And thus it is the  same for everyone, because it sees no differences in them. Its
Tx:26.3  on everything you think is yours. For giving and receiving are the  same. And to accept the limits of a body is to impose these limits on
Tx:26.8  he is in Heaven, so must he be eternally and everywhere. He is the  same forever—born again each instant, untouched by time, and far
Tx:26.10  difficulty in resolving some than others. Every problem is the  same to Him, because each one is solved in just the same respect and
Tx:26.10  problem is the same to Him, because each one is solved in just the  same respect and through the same approach. The aspects which need
Tx:26.10  because each one is solved in just the same respect and through the  same approach. The aspects which need solving do not change, whatever
Tx:26.11  you release from every problem that you think you have. They are the  same to Him because each one, regardless of the form it seems to
Tx:26.21  But in this world, there are no simple facts because what is the  same and what is different remain unclear. The one essential thing to
Tx:26.22  Heaven and the wish for hell unless he recognizes they are not the  same? This difference is the learning goal this course has set. It
Tx:26.22  not go beyond this aim. Its only purpose is to teach what is the  same and what is different, leaving room to make the only choice
Tx:26.23  and over-complicated world. For no one understands what is the  same and seems to choose where no choice really is. The real world is
Tx:26.30  indeed to those who do not understand that miracles are all the  same. Yet teaching that is what this course is for. This is its only
Tx:26.44  that the truth alone can give? Who can believe illusions are the  same and still maintain that even one is best?
Tx:26.61  is his, unlimited by loss of any kind. A tiny sacrifice is just the  same in its effects as is the whole idea of sacrifice. If loss in any
Tx:26.62  gave answer to them all as one. And what is one to Him must be the  same. If you believe what is the same is different, you but deceive
Tx:26.62  And what is one to Him must be the same. If you believe what is the  same is different, you but deceive yourself. What God calls one will
Tx:26.85  that a response of anger now is just. And thus you see what is the  same as different. Confusion is not limited. If it occurs at all, it
Tx:27.7  yourself in different tongues. And yet to both the message is the  same. Adornment of the body seeks to show how lovely are the
Tx:27.22  to forgive and never to accuse. Alone, you cannot see they are the  same, and therefore is correction not of you. Identity and function
Tx:27.22  therefore is correction not of you. Identity and function are the  same, and by your function do you know yourself. And thus, if you
Tx:27.24  is the function given it by you. When you perceive correction is the  same as pardon, then you also know the Holy Spirit's mind and yours
Tx:27.25  own be seen as one. Yours are mistakes, but his are sins and not the  same as yours. His merit punishment, while yours in fairness should
Tx:27.28  must be left to One Who knows correction and forgiveness are the  same. With half a mind, this is not understood. Leave then correction
Tx:27.34  is but half the picture and is incomplete, within itself it is the  same. The other half of what it represents remains unknown but is not
Tx:27.38  in itself. A double question asks and answers, both attesting the  same thing in different form.
Tx:27.39  world is made?” Whatever form the question takes, its purpose is the  same. It asks but to establish sin is real and answers in the form of
Tx:27.50  generalizes to include them all. This is because they really are the  same despite their different forms. All learning aims at transfer,
Tx:27.51  does not jump from situations to their opposites and bring the  same results. All healing must proceed in lawful manner in accord
Tx:27.54  it away from Him and focusing upon itself. Its purpose is the  same as pleasure, for they both are means to make the body real. What
Tx:27.54  are means to make the body real. What shares a common purpose is the  same. This is the law of purpose, which unites all those who share in
Tx:27.55  from pain to pleasure and again to pain. For either witness is the  same and carries but one message: “You are here within this body, and
Tx:28.16  circle of creation has no end. Its starting and its ending are the  same. But in itself it holds the universe of all creation, without
Tx:28.38  It is the dream you fear and not the mind. You see them as the  same because you think that you are but a dream. And what is real and
Tx:28.42  you are confused, for in the gap no stable self exists. What is the  same seems different because what is the same appears to be unlike.
Tx:28.42  self exists. What is the same seems different because what is the  same appears to be unlike. His dreams are yours because you let them
Tx:28.45  whole is in each one. And every aspect of the Son of God is just the  same as every other part.
Tx:29.38  of endless strife and misery and pain? These questions are the  same in different form. Forgiveness is your peace, for herein lies
Tx:29.52  object owned or wanted, or a right demanded or achieved, it is the  same.
Tx:29.60  there is. And to be sure you could not lose it, did He also give the  same to every living thing as well. And thus is every living thing a
Tx:30.44  as it was before the time when you forgot and will be just the  same when you remember. And it is the same within the interval when
Tx:30.44  forgot and will be just the same when you remember. And it is the  same within the interval when you forgot.
Tx:30.87  for meaning. Only dreams of pardon can be shared. They mean the  same to both of you.
Tx:30.88  And through His use of symbols are we joined so that they mean the  same to all of us. Our common language lets us speak to all our
Tx:31.17  calls for life, for hate or for forgiveness and for help, is not the  same in outcome. Hear the one, and you are separate from him and are
Tx:31.23  a safer place for him to be. Can you make progress if you think the  same, advancing only when he would step back and falling back when he
Tx:31.24  enough to let this happen. And you will perceive his purpose is the  same as yours. He asks for what you want and needs the same as you.
Tx:31.24  is the same as yours. He asks for what you want and needs the  same as you. It takes perhaps a different form in him, but it is not
Tx:31.24  with a brother's love. And as a brother, must his Father be the  same as yours, as he is like yourself.
Tx:31.40  decision cannot lie in choosing different forms of what is still the  same illusion and the same mistake. All choices in the world depend
Tx:31.40  choosing different forms of what is still the same illusion and the  same mistake. All choices in the world depend on this—you choose
Tx:31.63  no one is exactly as he was an instant previous, nor will he be the  same as he is now an instant hence. Who could have trust where so
Tx:31.72  kind forgiveness which you offer one whose need for it is just the  same as yours. And let the cruel concept of yourself be changed to

W1:23.9  this, and you are asked at this time only to treat them as the  same in today's practice periods. We are still at the stage of

W1:70.5  Today we practice realizing that God's Will and ours are really the  same in this.
W1:73.1 Today we are considering the will you share with God. This is not the  same as the ego's idle wishes, out of which darkness and nothingness
W1:79.2  world seems to have his own special problems. Yet they are all the  same and must be recognized as one if the one solution which solves

W1:99.13 Salvation is my only function here. Salvation and forgiveness are the  same.

W1:108.6 To learn that giving and receiving are the  same has special usefulness because it can be tried so easily and

W1:R3.7  messages and use them for yourself. Offer them to your mind in that  same trust and confidence and faith. It will not fail. It is the Holy
W1:121.9  unforgiving mind does not believe that giving and receiving are the  same. Yet we will try to learn today that they are one through

W1:12.3 As you look about you,  say to yourself:
W1:14.4  then deny its reality. God did not create it, and so it is not real.  Say, for example:
W1:14.6  quite specifically. Do not use general terms. For example, do not  say, “God did not create illness,” but, “God did not create cancer,”
W1:14.9  aside from the practice periods. Be very specific in applying it.  Say:
W1:15.4  around you, using its name and letting your eyes rest on it as you  say:
W1:17.2 In applying today's idea,  say to yourself, with eyes open:
W1:17.4  your glance on each thing that catches your eye long enough to  say:
W1:17.6 For example, you might  say:
W1:18.3  application of the idea randomly, look at each one long enough to  say:
W1:19.3  or theme it contains and, holding it in your mind as you do so,  say:
W1:21.6  perception of the person is suffering from this form of distortion,  say:
W1:22.3  move slowly from one object to another, from one body to another,  say to yourself:
W1:23.6  many attack thoughts as occur to you. As each one crosses your mind  say:
W1:23.8 Hold each attack thought in mind as you  say this, and then dismiss that thought and go on to the next.
W1:24.9  as possible for each unresolved situation that crosses your mind,  say to yourself:
W1:25.3  way of describing the goals you now perceive as valuable is to  say that they are all concerned with “personal” interests. Since you
W1:25.6  or “unhuman.” With your eyes resting on each subject you so select,  say, for example:
W1:25.8  Say this quite slowly, without shifting your eyes until you have
W1:27.2  believe that some sort of sacrifice is being asked of you when you  say you want to see above all else. If you become uneasy about the
W1:28.2 You may wonder why it is important to  say, for example, “Above all else I want to see this table
W1:28.3 When you  say, “Above all else I want to see this table differently,” you are
W1:29.7  for today at least once an hour, looking slowly about you as you  say the words unhurriedly to yourself. At least once or twice you
W1:33.3  arises which tempts you to become disturbed. For these applications,  say:
W1:36.3  the idea specifically to whatever you note in your casual survey.  Say, for example:
W1:41.7  because it is the most natural thing in the world. You might even  say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open if
W1:43.5  subjects for this phase of the exercises are sufficient. You might  say, for example:
W1:46.4  you do not like is a suitable subject. Mention each one by name and  say:
W1:46.10  but the central idea should not be lost sight of. You might  say, for example:
W1:54.5  effects of my thoughts. I am alone in nothing. Everything I think or  say or do touches all the universe. A Son of God cannot think or
W1:62.5 As often as you can, closing your eyes if possible,  say to yourself:
W1:65.1  the saviors of the world. This is the only way in which you can  say and mean, “My only function is the one God gave me.” This is the
W1:66.16  to repeat these words slowly and think about them a little while you  say them.
W1:68.7 Determine now to see all these people as friends.  Say to them all collectively, thinking of each one in turn as you do
W1:69.9  searching for it alone and that you do know where to look for it.  Say, then:
W1:70.14  of your salvation. You are in charge of the salvation of the world.  Say, then:
W1:71.11  You have me do? Where would You have me go? What would You have me  say, and to whom?
W1:73.15  practice periods, again make a declaration of what you really want.  Say:
W1:74.13  should be undertaken at regular and predetermined intervals today,  say to yourself:
W1:75.11  see will be so welcome that you will gladly extend today forever.  Say, then:
W1:75.13 Should you be tempted,  say to anyone who seems to pull you back to darkness:
W1:80.6  to apply the idea for today to any specific problem that may arise.  Say quickly:
W1:83.2  With one purpose only, I am always certain what to do, what to  say, and what to think. All doubt must disappear as I acknowledge
W1:91.10  attributes to be corrected, and their opposites to take their place.  Say, for example:
W1:98.8 His confidence in you will bring the light to all the words you  say, and you will go beyond their sound to what they really mean.
W1:98.8  sound to what they really mean. Today you practice with Him as you  say:
W1:98.11  will respond with all His faith and joy and certainty that what you  say is true. And you will have conviction then of Him Who knows the
W1:99.9  well the idea for today. Try to perceive the strength in what you  say, for these are words in which your freedom lies. Your Father
W1:101.7  from all the consequences sin has wrought in feverish imagination.  Say:
W1:105.9  experience the joy and peace you have denied yourself. Now you can  say, “God's peace and joy are mine,” for you have given what you
W1:105.11  worthless when you cannot give Him more. At least remember hourly to  say the words which call on Him to give you what He wills to give and
W1:105.12  the gifts of God as yours. Then bless your brother thankfully, and  say:
W1:107.11  His function is to share His joy. His confidence is with you, as you  say:
W1:108.8 So we begin the practice periods with the instruction for today and  say:
W1:108.10  hold out to everyone to have it yours. You might, for instance,  say:
W1:108.12  Say each one slowly, and then pause a while, expecting to receive the
W1:108.13  in your learning, made still faster and more sure each time you  say:
W1:110.11  meet with us today, for it is thus that we remember Him. And we will  say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self, the Christ in
W1:124.7 We join in this awareness as we  say that we are one with God. For in these words we say as well that
W1:124.7  awareness as we say that we are one with God. For in these words we  say as well that we are saved and healed, that we can save and heal
W1:129.4  as His Son speaks to Him. Their language has no words, for what they  say cannot be symbolized. Their knowledge is direct and wholly shared
W1:130.8  petty treasures of this world. You wait for God to help you as you  say:
W1:130.12  the place of everything that hell would show to you. All you need  say to any part of hell, whatever form it takes, is simply this:
W1:132.20  increase the freedom sent through your ideas to all the world, and  say whenever you are tempted to deny the power of your simple change
W1:135.6  it gifts to make it beautiful or walls to make it safe, and you but  say your home is open to the thief of time, corruptible and
W1:135.23  that we may give instead of organize. And we are given truly, as we  say:
W1:139.13  to keep the knowledge of yourself apart from your awareness, as you  say:
W1:140.14  proof to us that it is real. This will we learn today. And we will  say our prayer for healing hourly and take a minute as the hour
W1:R4.10  assigned to you to be reviewed that day. Then close your eyes and  say them slowly to yourself. There is no hurry now, for you are using
W1:160.3 And yet how easy it would be to  say, “This is my home. Here I belong and will not leave because a
W1:169.5  Being, He encompasses all things. No mind holds anything but Him. We  say “God is,” and then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge words
W1:R5.12  we remind the world that it is free of all illusions every time we  say,
W1:181.6  them with instructions to our minds to change their focus, as we  say:
W1:182.1  here, from somewhere all unknown. Nothing so definite that you could  say with certainty you are an exile here. Just a persistent feeling,
W1:183.2  nor said without an echo in the mind which calls you to remember.  Say His Name, and you invite the angels to surround the ground on
W1:183.7  on this. No other words we use except at the beginning, when we  say today's idea but once. And then God's Name becomes our only
W1:185.1 To  say these words is nothing. But to mean these words is everything. If
W1:185.7  our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the words we  say. We want the peace of God. This is no idle wish. These words do
W1:188.9  and open to salvation. And we lay our saving blessing on it as we  say:
W1:193.10 Shall we not learn to  say these words when we are tempted to believe that pain is real and
W1:193.10  and death becomes our choice instead of life? Shall we not learn to  say these words when we have understood their power to release all
W1:199.8  to it. And God Himself extends His Love and happiness each time you  say:
W1:200.11  no further. We are close to home and draw still nearer every time we  say:
W1:R6.8  are tempted, hasten to proclaim your freedom from temptation, as you  say:
W1:R6.11  you. I place you in His charge and let Him teach you what to do and  say and think each time you turn to Him. He will not fail to be
W2:I.3  holy instants which conclude the year that we have given God. We  say some simple words of welcome and expect our Father to reveal
W2:I.4  and it will be accepted. So our times with Him will now be spent. We  say the words of invitation that His Voice suggests, and then we wait
W2:275.2  tell me what to do and where to go, to whom to speak, and what to  say to him, what thoughts to think, what words to give the world. The
W2:300.1 This is the thought that can be used to  say that death and sorrow are the certain lot of all who come here.
W2:360.1  like to You in perfect sinlessness, and with this thought we gladly  say “Amen.”
W2:FL.6 We come in honesty to Him and  say we did not understand and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons
W2:FL.6  Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to answer him and  say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? Be certain He will
W2:E.5 The end is certain and the means as well. To this we  say “Amen.” We will be told exactly what God wills for us each time
W2:E.6 We trust our ways to Him and  say “Amen.” In peace we will continue in His way and trust all things
M:I.3  with it or it may not. It is the teaching underlying what you  say that teaches you. Teaching but reinforces what you believe about
M:3.3  best way to demonstrate that these levels cannot exist is simply to  say that any level of the teaching-learning situation is part of
M:4.11  only they can see its value. Honesty does not apply only to what you  say. The term actually means consistency. There is nothing you say

Tx:20.22  sin, but the belief that made it as you see it is not outside you.  Seek not to make the Son of God adjust to his insanity. There is a

Tx:21.1  inward condition. As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore,  seek not to change the world, but will to change your mind about the
Tx:21.34  You made perception that you might choose among your brothers and  seek for sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees perception as a means to

Tx:22.17  joy could be the opposite of misery? To leave one kind of misery and  seek another is hardly an escape. To change illusions is to make no
Tx:22.51  No one but yearns for freedom and tries to find it. Yet he will  seek for it where he believes it is and can be found. He will believe
Tx:22.58  you have asked what is your function here and have been answered.  Seek not to change it nor to substitute another goal. [This one was

Tx:26.45  from your welcoming embrace. Without Him you are friendless.  Seek not another friend to take His place. There is no other friend.
Tx:26.74  Why are not its effects apparent then? Why in the future? And you  seek to be content with sighing and with “reasoning” you do not

Tx:26.89  you perceive one purpose for your whole relationship. And this you  seek to add unto the purpose given it. The Holy Spirit's purpose is
Tx:27.4  him. The sick are merciless to everyone, and in contagion do they  seek to kill. Death seems an easy price if they can say, “Behold me,

Tx:28.56  and loathe and want, the body does not know. You send it forth to  seek for separation and to be a separate thing. And then you hate it,
Tx:29.37  changelessness is found. Let us be glad indeed that this is so and  seek not the eternal in this world. Forgiving dreams are means to
Tx:29.43  Seek not outside yourself. For it will fail, and you will weep each
Tx:29.43  answer you can substitute and find the happiness His answer brings.  Seek not outside yourself. For all your pain comes simply from a
Tx:29.43  or happy? Be you glad that you are told where happiness abides and  seek no longer elsewhere. You will fail. But it is given you to know

Tx:29.45  illusion will impel him to seek out a thousand idols and to  seek beyond them for a thousand more. And each will fail him, all
Tx:29.45  but his death. Its form appears to be outside himself. Yet does he  seek to kill God's Son within and prove that he is victor over him.
Tx:29.46  and to have suffered loss. And by this giving up is life renounced.  Seek not outside yourself. The search implies you are not whole
Tx:29.46  whole within and fear to look upon your devastation and prefer to  seek outside yourself for what you are.
Tx:29.47  and what would you expect but to perceive the signs of death you  seek? No sadness and no suffering proclaims a message other than an
Tx:29.48  lies in Him. No idol takes His place. Look not to idols. Do not  seek outside yourself. Let us forget the purpose of the world the
Tx:29.51  the place of God. Let Him remind you of His love for you, and do not  seek to drown His Voice in chants of deep despair to idols of
Tx:29.51  to drown His Voice in chants of deep despair to idols of yourself.  Seek not outside your Father for your hope. For hope of happiness is
Tx:29.53  who has not enslaved himself to littleness and loss. And thus must  seek beyond his little self for strength to raise his head and stand

Tx:30.39  is not your will to have one. It will not bestow on you the gift you  seek. When you decide upon the form of what you want, you lose the
Tx:30.40  for completion. Wholeness has no form because it is unlimited. To  seek a special person or a thing to add to you to make yourself
Tx:30.42 Completion is the function of God's Son. He has no need to  seek for it at all. Beyond all idols stands his holy will to be but
Tx:30.46  nor the time which keeps this star invisible to earth. But those who  seek for idols cannot know this star is there.
Tx:30.55  unreal as reality. You are but asked to let your will be done and  seek no longer for the things you do not want. And you are asked to
Tx:30.55  to let yourself be free of all the dreams of what you never were and  seek no more to substitute the strength of idle wishes for the Will
Tx:31.7  you can make that ever will succeed. There is no joy that you can  seek for here and hope to find. Yet this is not the only outcome
Tx:31.34  nothingness, and death. There is no choice in its alternatives.  Seek not escape from problems here. The world was made that problems
Tx:31.36 Why would you  seek to try another road, another person, or another place when you
Tx:31.36  the world. But do not judge the lesson which is but begun with this.  Seek not another signpost in the world which seems to point to still
Tx:31.37  real futility? Is it not needful that he should begin with this, to  seek another way instead? For while he sees a choice where there is
Tx:31.50  yourself, that you will choose to follow this world's laws and never  seek to go beyond its roads nor realize the way you see yourself. Now
Tx:31.53  go if either one were ever raised to doubt. The Holy Spirit does not  seek to throw you into panic. So He merely asks if just a little
Tx:31.57  Seek not your Self in symbols. There can be no concept that can stand
Tx:31.68 Learning is change. Salvation does not  seek to use a means as yet too alien to your thinking to be helpful
W1:16.4  search your mind for a minute or so, with eyes closed, and actively  seek not to overlook any “little” thought which tends to elude the
W1:45.4  applying yesterday's idea. We will attempt to leave the unreal and  seek for the real. We will deny the world in favor of truth. We will
W1:71.6  for salvation works simply because, by following His direction, you  seek for salvation where it is. But if you are to succeed, as God
W1:71.6  you are to succeed, as God promises you will, you must be willing to  seek there only. Otherwise your purpose is divided, and you will
W1:72.7 To this carefully prepared arena, where angry animals  seek for prey and mercy cannot enter, the ego comes to save you. God
W1:72.14  learn. “What is salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered.  Seek and you will find.
W1:73.6  want to weep and suffer and die? Forget the ego's arguments which  seek to prove all this is really Heaven. You know it is not so. You
W1:74.12  retreat into withdrawal, even if you do not experience the peace you  seek.
W1:74.14 There is no will but God's. I  seek His peace today.
W1:76.1  so, you must first realize salvation lies not there. While you would  seek for it in things that have no meaning, you bind yourself to laws
W1:76.1  meaning, you bind yourself to laws that make no sense. Thus do you  seek to prove salvation is where it is not.
W1:76.2  be glad you cannot prove it. For if you could, you would forever  seek where it is not and never find it. The idea for today tells you
W1:77.6  statement of a simple fact. You will receive the assurance that you  seek.
W1:96.13 Then  seek its thoughts, and claim them as your own.
W1:98.1  planned it be. We will not argue it is something else; we will not  seek for it where it is not. In gladness we accept it as it is and
W1:99.11 Practice His thought today, and let His Light  seek out and lighten up all darkened spots and shine through them to
W1:101.2  it is this they ask for, for they know it waits for them and it will  seek them out and find them somewhere, sometime, in some form which
W1:101.4 Who would  seek out such savage punishment? Who would not flee salvation and
W1:102.6 Then  seek this function deep within your mind, for it is there, awaiting
W1:103.7 God, being Love, is also happiness. And it is happiness I  seek today. I cannot fail because I seek the truth.
W1:103.7  happiness. And it is happiness I seek today. I cannot fail because I  seek the truth.
W1:104.5 I  seek but what belongs to me in truth, and joy and peace are my
W1:104.6  and sought for only in a world of dreams. All this we lay aside and  seek instead that which is truly ours, as we ask to recognize what
W1:104.8  not let ourselves lose sight of them between the times we come to  seek for them where He has laid them. This reminder will we bring to
W1:104.9 I  seek but what belongs to me in truth. God's gifts of joy and peace
W1:107.7  light, in obvious accessibility. It is impossible that anyone could  seek it truly and would not succeed.
W1:109.2  and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you  seek. “I rest in God.” This thought has power to wake the sleeping
W1:110.8  discover in your mind the Self Who is the holy Son of God Himself.  Seek Him within you Who is Christ in you, the Son of God and brother
W1:110.10  Seek Him today, and find Him. He will be your savior from all idols
W1:117.3 [104] I  seek but what belongs to me in truth. Love is my heritage and with it
W1:117.7 I  seek but what belongs to me in truth.
W1:122.4  kept can hold more hope than what forgiveness brings? Why would you  seek an answer other than the answer that will answer everything?
W1:122.5 Here is the answer!  Seek for it no more. You will not find another one instead. God's
W1:122.9  will be the day salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we  seek for it today, aware we hold the key within our hands, accepting
W1:126.10  your eyes upon the world which does not understand forgiveness and  seek sanctuary in the quiet place where thoughts are changed and
W1:127.5  but violates the truth of what love is, and what you are as well.  Seek not within the world to find your Self. Love is not found in
W1:128.3  value you make part of you as you perceive yourself. All things you  seek to make your value greater in your sight limit you further, hide
W1:128.6  above the world when you release your mind from chains and let it  seek the level where it finds itself at home. It will be grateful to
W1:129.6  but for your choosing it to take the place of all the things you  seek but do not want.
W1:130.5 Today we will not  seek for them nor waste this day in seeking not what cannot be found.
W1:130.5  is impossible to see two worlds which have no overlap of any kind.  Seek for the one; the other disappears. But one remains. They are the
W1:130.8  asking for a strength beyond your own, and recognize what it is you  seek. You do not want illusions. And you come to these five minutes
W1:130.13 It is impossible to see two worlds. I  seek my freedom and deliverance, and this is not a part of what I
W1:131.1 Failure is all about you while you  seek for goals that cannot be achieved. You look for permanence in
W1:131.3  to death because it is the search for nothingness, and while you  seek for life you ask for death. You look for safety and security
W1:131.5  can fail to want this goal and reach it in the end. God's Son cannot  seek vainly, though he try to force delay, deceive himself, and think
W1:131.6  timeless, and unchanging Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you  seek but this will fall away, yet not because it has been taken from
W1:131.13  and think a different kind of thought from those I made. The world I  seek I did not make alone. The thoughts I want to think are not my
W1:131.15  Seek for that door and find it. But before you try to open it, remind
W1:131.15  before this door you really want, and only what lies past it do you  seek.
W1:131.19 Today I  seek and find all that I want. My single purpose offers it to me. No
W1:133.16 I will not value what is valueless, and only what has value do I  seek, for only that do I desire to find.
W1:136.13  make appeal to might nor triumph. It does not command obedience nor  seek to prove how pitiful and futile are your attempts to plan
W1:138.5  as it is accepted, it is known. But knowledge is beyond the goals we  seek to teach within the framework of this course. Ours are teaching
W1:140.6  cures. It does not make distinctions among unrealities. Nor does it  seek to heal what is not sick, unmindful where the need for healing
W1:140.7 Let us not try today to  seek to cure what cannot suffer sickness. Healing must be sought but
W1:140.8 Today we  seek to change our minds about the source of sickness, for we seek a
W1:140.8  we seek to change our minds about the source of sickness, for we  seek a cure for all illusions, not another shift among them. We will
W1:140.8  as our own thoughts—so close it is impossible to lose. We need but  seek it, and it must be found.
W1:154.10 It is this joining that we undertake to recognize today. We will not  seek to keep our minds apart from Him Who speaks for us, for it is
W1:181.3  become apparent. We instruct our minds that it is this we  seek and only this, for just a little while. We do not care about our
W1:181.3  this interval of time wherein we practice changing our intent. We  seek for innocence and nothing else. We seek for it with no concern
W1:181.3  changing our intent. We seek for innocence and nothing else. We  seek for it with no concern but now.
W1:181.8  use these thoughts to keep us safe throughout the day. We do not  seek for long range goals. As each obstruction seems to block the
W1:181.8  As each obstruction seems to block the vision of our sinlessness, we  seek but for surcease an instant from the misery the focus upon sin
W1:181.9 Nor do we ask for fantasies. For what we  seek to look upon is really there. And as our focus goes beyond
W1:181.9  world. When seeing this is all we want to see, when this is all we  seek for in the name of true perception, are the eyes of Christ
W1:181.10  sin and never could conceive of anything without Its sinlessness. We  seek for this remembrance as we turn our minds to practicing today.
W1:185.10 You want the peace of God. And so do all who seem to  seek for dreams. For them as well as for yourself you ask but this
W1:185.10  to what they really want and join your own intent with what they  seek above all things, perhaps unknown to them, but sure to you. You
W1:185.14 It is this one intent we  seek today, uniting our desires with the need of every heart, the
W1:188.1 Why wait for Heaven? Those who  seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them
W1:189.6 Today we pass illusions as we  seek to reach to what is true in us and feel Its all-embracing
W1:190.9  your throat, and put aside the withering assaults with which you  seek to hide your holiness. Here will you understand there is no
W1:198.4  plan of God Himself? And why would you oppose it, quarrel with it,  seek to find a thousand ways in which it must be wrong, a thousand
W1:199.1  as you perceive a body as yourself. The body is a limit. Who would  seek for freedom in a body looks for it where it cannot be found. The
W1:199.6 The Holy Spirit is the home of minds that  seek for freedom. In Him they find what they have sought. The body's
W1:200.1  Seek you no further. You will not find peace except the peace of God.
W1:200.1  bleak despair, and sense of icy hopelessness and doubt.  Seek you no further. There is nothing else for you to find except the
W1:200.1  is nothing else for you to find except the peace of God, unless you  seek for misery and pain.
W1:200.3  be true can only fail. Forgive yourself for vain imaginings, and  seek no longer what you cannot find. For what could be more foolish
W1:200.3  longer what you cannot find. For what could be more foolish than to  seek and seek and seek again for hell, when you have but to look with
W1:200.3  you cannot find. For what could be more foolish than to seek and  seek and seek again for hell, when you have but to look with open
W1:200.3  find. For what could be more foolish than to seek and seek and  seek again for hell, when you have but to look with open eyes to find
W1:200.7  have reality because it never was created. Is it here that he would  seek for peace? Or must he see that, as he looks on it, the world can
W1:200.10 Now is there silence.  Seek no further. You have come to where the road is carpeted with
W1:200.11 Today we  seek no idols. Peace cannot be found in them. The peace of God is
W1:200.11  purpose and companionship. For peace is union if it be of God. We  seek no further. We are close to home and draw still nearer every
W1:205.1  of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I  seek, my purpose and my function and my life while I abide where I am
W1:211.1  I am the holy Son of God Himself. In silence and in true humility, I  seek God's glory to behold it in the Son whom He created as my Self.
W1:212.1 [192] I have a function God would have me fill. I  seek the function that would set me free from all the vain illusions
W1:212.1  Only the function God has given me can offer freedom. Only this I  seek, and only this will I accept as mine. I am not a body. I am
W2:I.1  We use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. For now we  seek direct experience of truth alone. The lessons which remain are
W2:221.1 Father, I come to You today to  seek the peace that You alone can give. I come in silence. In the
W2:225.2  will never leave you. We are one, and it is but this oneness that we  seek as we accomplish these few final steps which end a journey that
W2:229.1 I  seek my own Identity and find it in these words: “Love, Which created
W2:229.1  in these words: “Love, Which created me, is what I am.” Now need I  seek no more. Love has prevailed. So still it waited for my coming
W2:230.2 Father, I  seek the peace You gave as mine in my creation. What was given then
W2:231.1 What can I  seek for, Father, but Your Love? Perhaps I think I seek for something
W2:231.1 What can I seek for, Father, but Your Love? Perhaps I think I  seek for something else—a something I have called by many names.
W2:231.1  I have called by many names. Yet is Your Love the only thing I  seek or ever sought. For there is nothing else that I could ever
W2:231.2  One as well Who is our Father. To remember Him is Heaven. This we  seek. And only this is what it will be given us to find.
W2:WIW.3  born instead. And now they go to find what has been given them to  seek. Their aim is to fulfill the purpose which the world was made to
W2:WIS.2  Truth can be its aim as well as lies. The senses then will  seek instead for witnesses to what is true.
W2:251.1 I sought for many things and found despair. Now do I  seek but one, for in that one is all I need and only what I need. All
W2:258.2  goal but this. What could we want but to remember You? What could we  seek but our Identity?
W2:259.2  I would not be insane today. I would not be afraid of love nor  seek for refuge in its opposite. For love can have no opposite. You
W2:261.1  the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked. Let me today  seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in
W2:261.2 Let me not  seek for idols. I would come, my Father, home to You today. I choose
W2:268.2  is free of loss. Only reality is wholly safe. And it is only this we  seek today.
W2:WIC.5  goal of the Atonement has been reached at last? So therefore let us  seek to find Christ's face and look on nothing else. As we behold His
W2:271.1  upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God's Voice, and  seek the witnesses to what is true in God's creation. In Christ's
W2:275.1  any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time when we will  seek and hear and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the
W2:287.1  gift could I prefer before the peace of God? What treasure would I  seek and find and keep that can compare with my Identity? And would I
W2:290.1  belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. This the day I  seek my present happiness and look on nothing else except the thing I
W2:290.1  my present happiness and look on nothing else except the thing I  seek.
W2:290.2  I come to You and ask Your strength to hold me up today while I but  seek to do Your Will. You cannot fail to hear me, Father. What I ask
W2:292.1  ending certain. For God's Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will  seek and we will find according to His Will, which guarantees that
W2:296.2  hell when we allow His teaching to persuade the world through us to  seek and find the easy path to God!
W2:300.1  cloud upon a sky eternally serene. And it is this serenity we  seek, unclouded, obvious, and sure today.
W2:300.2 We  seek Your holy world today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our
W2:302.2  beside us, showing us the way. He fails in nothing. He the end we  seek, and He the means by which we come to Him.
W2:318.1  sinlessness which God has placed in me. I was created as the thing I  seek. I am the goal the world is searching for. I am God's Son, His
W2:319.1  by lies. Only the ego can be limited, and therefore it must  seek for aims which are curtailed and limiting. The ego thinks that
W2:WIE.2  and trembles at the figures in its dreams, its enemies who  seek to murder it before it can ensure its safety by attacking them.
W2:334.2 I  seek but the eternal. For Your Son can be content with nothing less
W2:346.1  as I will share eternity, for time has stepped aside today. I do not  seek the things of time, and so I will not look upon them. What I
W2:346.1  seek the things of time, and so I will not look upon them. What I  seek today transcends all laws of time and things perceived in time.
W2:349.1  I liberate all things I see and give to them the freedom that I  seek. For thus do I obey the law of love and give what I would find

Tx:17.11  all. Each spot His reason touches grows alive with beauty, and what  seemed ugly in the darkness of your lack of reason is suddenly
Tx:17.45  accepted for it. In its unholy condition, your goal was all that  seemed to give it meaning. Now it seems to make no sense. Many

Tx:18.14  you would have preferred. Here, you are “free” to make over whatever  seemed to attack you and change it into a tribute to your ego, which
Tx:18.24  sleep. Each dream has led to other dreams, and every fantasy which  seemed to bring a light into the darkness but made the darkness
Tx:19.46  no purpose now. Before the Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it  seemed to have a mighty purpose; the fixed and unchangeable
Tx:19.47  remnant of the belief in sin, is all that remains of what once  seemed to be the world. It is no longer an unrelenting barrier to
Tx:19.94  the power of the attraction of what lies beyond. Your wanting fear  seemed to be holding them in place. Yet when you heard the voice of
Tx:20.25  your strong companion, in whom the meaning of your freedom lies. He  seemed to be crucified beside you. And yet his holiness remained
Tx:20.52  that the mad idea of making your relationship with God unholy  seemed to be possible, all your relationships were made meaningless.
Tx:20.52  to house the mad idea and give it the illusion of reality. And so it  seemed to have a home that held together for a little while in time

Tx:16.24  change them. Illusions are but beliefs in what is not there. And the  seeming conflict between truth and illusion can only be resolved by

Tx:19.88  or falsity of the idea which they reflect. Confronted with such  seeming uncertainty of meaning, judge it not. Remember the holy
Tx:19.96  impulse to forget again, no stab of fear, nor the cold sweat of  seeming death can stand against your will. For what attracts you from

Tx:22.18  confused with joy. Joy is eternal. You can be sure indeed that any  seeming happiness that does not last is really fear. Joy does not
Tx:22.45  truth when only weakness interferes? You are the strong ones in this  seeming conflict. And you need no defense. Everything that needs
Tx:23.4  you! Do not give up this world of freedom for a little sigh of  seeming sin nor for a tiny stirring of guilt's attraction. Would you,
Tx:23.27  law of chaos, which, if the others are accepted, must be true. This  seeming law is the belief you have what you have taken. By this,
Tx:23.33  not be so? Chaos is lawlessness and has no laws. To be believed, its  seeming laws must be perceived as real. Their goal of madness must be
Tx:23.38  completely, offering a certain witness that these laws are true. The  seeming gentler forms of the attack are no less certain in their
Tx:24.10  perspective can the special have that does not change with every  seeming blow, each slight, or fancied judgment on itself?
Tx:26.1  desperate attempts to strike a bargain, and all conflicts achieve a  seeming balance. It is the symbol of the central theme that somebody
Tx:26.1  and you will see nothing attached to anything beyond itself. All  seeming entities can come a little nearer or go a little farther off
Tx:26.2  and total lack of joining. Around each entity is built a wall so  seeming solid that it looks as if what is inside can never reach
Tx:26.42  past and present, which is not a gap at all. Such is each life—a  seeming interval from birth to death and on to life again, a
Tx:27.73  his Father, and made war upon himself. So fearful is the dream, so  seeming real, he could not waken to reality without the sweat of
Tx:29.8  by learning that the body is not real. And there are overtones of  seeming fear around the happy message, “God is love.”
Tx:29.41  it has no use. Its purpose ended; it is gone. And where it once held  seeming sway is now restored the function God established for His Son
Tx:31.10  How wrong are you who fail to hear the call that echoes past each  seeming call to death, that sings behind each murderous attack and
Tx:31.15  at all. The leader and the follower emerge as separate roles, each  seeming to possess advantages you would not want to lose. So in their
W1:12.5  cross your mind are suitable subjects for today's exercises. Their  seeming quality does not matter.
W1:50.3  you today. Through the Love of God in you, you can resolve all  seeming difficulties without effort and in sure confidence. Tell
W1:70.2 The  seeming “cost” of accepting today's idea is this: it means that
W1:91.2  You cannot use it because its presence is unknown to you. And the  seeming reality of the darkness makes the idea of light meaningless.
W1:107.5  on in every need and trusted with a perfect trust in all the  seeming difficulties and the doubts that the appearances the world
W1:108.1  depends upon today's idea. The light is in it, for it reconciles all  seeming opposites. And what is light except the resolution, born of
W1:R3.5  about them while letting your mind relate them to your needs, your  seeming problems, and all your concerns.
W1:135.27  is Eastertime in your salvation. And you rise again from what was  seeming death and hopelessness. Now is the light of hope reborn in
W1:140.6  It is not a thought which judges an illusion by its size, its  seeming gravity, or anything that is related to the form it takes. It
W1:151.1  judgment. It is merely an opinion based on ignorance and doubt. Its  seeming certainty is but a cloak for the uncertainty it would
W1:153.1  provides no safety. It is rooted in attack and all its “gifts” of  seeming safety are illusory deceptions. It attacks and then attacks
W1:164.3  you give to spend with Him beyond the world. How easily are all your  seeming sins forgot and all your sorrows unremembered. On this day is
W1:169.2 Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within a world of  seeming hate and fear. By grace alone the hate and fear are gone, for
W1:170.10  to peace. The final one, the hardest to believe is nothing and a  seeming obstacle with the appearance of a solid block, impenetrable,
W1:181.1  of the Self that lies beyond your own mistakes and past his  seeming sins as well as yours.
W1:193.14 We will attempt today to overcome a thousand  seeming obstacles to peace in just one day. Let mercy come to you
W1:195.5 —the sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and those who mourn a  seeming loss or feel apparent pain, who suffer cold or hunger, or who
W1:198.7 This world has many  seeming separate haunts where mercy has no meaning and attack appears
W1:R6.2  if understood, practiced, accepted, and applied to all the  seeming happenings throughout the day. One is enough. But for that
M:3.2  potential for becoming a teaching-learning situation. Perhaps the  seeming strangers in the elevator will smile to one another; perhaps
M:17.4  that gives rise to negative emotions, regardless of their  seeming justification by what appears as facts. Regardless, too, of

Tx:30.88  they are not in line with what you really are. This is a state so  seemingly unsafe that fear must rise. Do not continue thus, my

M:25.3 The  seemingly new abilities that may be gathered on the way can be very

Tx:2.98  cannot control fear because he himself created it. His belief in it  seems to render it out of his control by definition. Yet any attempt
Tx:2.100  a device by which all compromise in this respect can be given up. It  seems to be abolished by degrees because time itself involves a
Tx:6.33  thinking and thus guarantee their ultimate meeting. This convergence  seems to be far in the future only because your mind is not in
Tx:6.73  appears to be the opposite of “being.” Therefore, the first lesson  seems to contain a contradiction since it is being learned by a
Tx:6.87 While the first step  seems to increase conflict and the second step still entails it to
Tx:7.19  The non-maximal only appears to have a range. This is because it  seems to be meaningful to measure it from the maximum and identify
Tx:7.29  you are accepting conflict as your choice. Is it really a choice? It  seems to be, but seeming and reality are hardly the same. You who are
Tx:7.48  This does place you in a position of needing to learn a lesson which  seems contradictory—you must learn to change your mind about your
Tx:7.62 When you believe what God does not know, your thought  seems to contradict His, and this makes it appear as if you are
Tx:8.2  when the ego asks for your allegiance. The distraction of the ego  seems to interfere with your learning, but the ego has no power to
Tx:8.59  was made flesh.” Strictly speaking this is impossible, since it  seems to involve the translation of one order of reality into
Tx:8.71 The body exists in a world which  seems to contain two voices which are fighting for its possession. In
Tx:8.90  will is not the ego's, and that is why the ego is against you. What  seems to be the fear of God is really only the fear of your own
Tx:9.16  place the ego in a very sound position as the guide for yours. It  seems absurd to have to emphasize repeatedly that the ego's
Tx:9.16  as a teacher of salvation. Yet this question, ridiculous as it  seems, is really the crucial issue in the whole separation fantasy.
Tx:9.32 It  seems to you that the Holy Spirit does not produce joy consistently
Tx:9.66  When you hear the Holy Spirit, you merely feel better because loving  seems possible to you, but you do not remember yet that it once was
Tx:10.49 Your recognition that whatever  seems to separate you from God is only fear, regardless of the form
Tx:11.91  in the past, but there is no past. Always has no direction. Time  seems to go in one direction, but when you reach its end, it will
Tx:12.13  love with weakness and hatred with strength, and your own real power  seems to you as your real weakness. For you could not control your
Tx:12.13  world you think you control would vanish. The Holy Spirit, then,  seems to be attacking your fortress, for you would shut out God, and
Tx:13.3  must be taken by God because the last step in your redemption, which  seems to be in the future, was accomplished by God in your creation.
Tx:13.17  you, you will not see the light. And by projecting it, the world  seems dark and shrouded in your guilt. You throw a dark veil over it
Tx:13.47  be seen but in illusions, for there alone their seeming clearness  seems to be clearly seen. Let us now turn away from them and follow
Tx:13.66  here, as creating is being in Heaven. Whenever the pain of guilt  seems to attract you, remember that, if you yield to it, you are
Tx:13.92  being carried along a quiet path in summer. Only your own volition  seems to make deciding hard. The Holy Spirit will not delay at all in
Tx:14.27  But if one is kept in darkness from the other, their separation  seems to keep them both alive and equal in their reality. Their
Tx:14.42  are seen in light. In darkness they are obscure, and their meaning  seems to lie only in shifting interpretations rather than in
Tx:14.49  of Heaven, while others are motivated by the ego, which but  seems to think. The result is a weaving, changing pattern which never
Tx:15.2  It does not waste Him as it does you.] And all the waste that time  seems to bring with it is due but to your identification with the
Tx:15.66  no hold at all, except that no one recognizes it. For the ego always  seems to attract through love and has no attraction at all to anyone
Tx:15.71 In these insane relationships, the attraction of what you do not want  seems to be much stronger than the attraction of what you do. For
Tx:15.72  it does not object where the mind goes or what it thinks, for this  seems unimportant. As long as the body is there to receive its
Tx:15.73  other. For they believe that this decreases it in them. The other  seems always to be attacking and wounding them, perhaps in little
Tx:15.77  even this without fear. It is through the holy instant that what  seems impossible is accomplished, making it evident that it is not
Tx:15.84  one. He will do this because it is His function. Leave, then, what  seems to you to be impossible to Him Who knows it must be possible
Tx:15.95  in perception that is necessary, for you made but one mistake. It  seems like many, but it is all the same. For though the ego takes
Tx:15.97  While it is obvious that the ego does demand payment, it never  seems to be demanding it of you. For you are unwilling to recognize
Tx:15.98  demands! For total love would demand total sacrifice. And so the ego  seems to demand less of you than God, and of the two is judged as the
Tx:15.99  will appease this savage guest, for it is an invader who but  seems to offer kindness, but always to make the sacrifice complete.
Tx:15.104  where your invitation bids them be. What you excluded from yourself  seems fearful, for you endowed it with fear and tried to cast it out
Tx:16.34  no one would hesitate. But conflict enters the instant the choice  seems to be one between illusions, for this choice does not matter.
Tx:16.36  exactly what it is you think you can do to solve the dilemma, which  seems very real to you, but which does not exist. You have come very
Tx:16.39  are the veil behind which truth is hidden. To lift the veil which  seems so dark and heavy, it is only needful to value truth beyond all
Tx:16.40 Would you not go through fear to love? For such the journey  seems to be. Love calls, but hate would have you stay. Hear not the
Tx:16.50  self the ego seeks is always one that is more special. And whoever  seems to possess a special self is “loved” for what can be taken from
Tx:16.64  is a period of confusion in which a sense of actual disorientation  seems to occur. But fear it not, for it means nothing more than that
Tx:16.68  over will be the understanding of where Heaven is. From here it  seems to be outside and across the bridge. Yet as you cross to join
Tx:17.16  by which you arrive at the remembrance may be, attracts you and  seems to you to go by the name of love. And finally why all such
Tx:17.18  the more the fantasies can encompass, the greater the satisfaction  seems to be.
Tx:17.32  terms, that the ego is insane. Yet the special relationship still  seems to you somehow to be “different.” Yet we have looked at it far
Tx:17.39  you search it out amid its wrappings. As each senseless stone which  seems to shine in darkness from the frame is exposed to light, it
Tx:17.45  condition, your goal was all that seemed to give it meaning. Now it  seems to make no sense. Many relationships have been broken off at
Tx:17.46  and accepted as the only way out of the conflict, the relationship  seems to be severely strained.
Tx:17.48  has taken under His guidance? Have faith in each other in what but  seems to be a trying time. The goal is set. And your relationship has
Tx:17.55  purpose that has been accepted and the means as they stand now which  seems to make you suffer, but which makes Heaven glad. If Heaven were
Tx:17.59  a clear cut positive goal, set at the outset, the situation just  seems to happen and makes no sense until it has already happened.
Tx:17.62  This is inevitable. No one will fail in anything. This  seems to ask for faith beyond you and beyond what you can give. Yet
Tx:17.63 Confronted with any aspect of the situation which  seems to be difficult, the ego will attempt to take this aspect
Tx:17.77  the call of your Redeemer, the strain of not responding to His call  seems to be greater than before. This is not so. Before, the strain
Tx:18.2  God has joined and what the Holy Spirit sees as one. But everything  seems to come between the fragmented relationships the ego sponsors
Tx:18.3  replacement. Fear is both a fragmented and a fragmenting emotion. It  seems to take many forms, and each seems to require a different form
Tx:18.3  and a fragmenting emotion. It seems to take many forms, and each  seems to require a different form of acting out for satisfaction.
Tx:18.14 Does not a world that  seems quite real arise in dreams? Yet think what this world is. It is
Tx:18.16  you order. No limit on substitution is laid upon you. For a time, it  seems as if the world were given you, to make it what you will. You
Tx:18.17  in which you literally scream, “I want it thus!” And thus it  seems to be. And yet the dream cannot escape its origin. Anger and
Tx:18.18  that it is real. Yet here is a world, clearly within your mind, that  seems to be outside. You do not respond to it as though you made it,
Tx:18.25  goal of knowledge, for which you signified your willingness. Fear  seems to live in darkness, and when you are afraid, you have stepped
Tx:18.51  of the body does separation seem to be possible. And it is mind that  seems to be fragmented and private and alone. Its guilt, which keeps
Tx:18.51  the body to act them out. Yet it is never what the body does that  seems to satisfy. Unless the mind believes the body is actually
Tx:18.57 The body is outside you, and but  seems to surround you, shutting you off from others and keeping you
Tx:18.60 This can occur regardless of the physical distance which  seems to be between you and what you join, of your respective
Tx:18.75  in which those in a world inhabited by bodies seem to be. Each body  seems to house a separate mind, a disconnected thought living alone
Tx:18.75  joined to the Thought by which it was created. Each tiny fragment  seems to be self-contained, needing each other for some things but by
Tx:18.83  it is over. You are still worn and tired and the desert's dust still  seems to cloud your eyes and keep you sightless. Yet He Whom you
Tx:18.84  Therefore, it is the tiny part of yourself, the little thought that  seems split off and separate, which the Holy Spirit needs. The rest
Tx:18.88 The circle of fear lies just below the level the body sees and  seems to be the whole foundation on which the world is based. Here
Tx:18.89  that guilt is real. For the reality of guilt is the illusion which  seems to make it heavy and opaque, impenetrable, and a real
Tx:18.90  floor which looks like rock, is like a bank of low dark clouds that  seems to be a solid wall before the sun. Its impenetrable appearance
Tx:19.8  protecting the body by hiding this connection, for this concealment  seems to keep your identification safe from the “attack” of truth.
Tx:19.9  wrought by your faithlessness. For faithlessness is an attack which  seems to be justified by its results. For by withholding faith, you
Tx:19.22  seem heavy and impenetrable. The solidness this world's foundation  seems to have is found in this. For sin has changed creation from an
Tx:19.29 Time is like a downward spiral which  seems to travel down from a long, unbroken line along another plane
Tx:19.29  or interferes with its smooth continuousness. Along the spiral, it  seems as if the line must have been broken. Yet at the line, its
Tx:19.29  by the drop into another plane at all. Yet from the plane, the line  seems discontinuous. And this is but an error in perception which can
Tx:19.32  leads to a perception of the world in which the proof of separation  seems to be everywhere. And God and His creation seem to be split
Tx:19.34  see it long. For in the new perception, the mind corrects it when it  seems to be seen, and it becomes invisible. And errors are quickly
Tx:19.41  What do you think that it must dispossess to dwell with you? What  seems to be the cost you are so unwilling to pay? The little barrier
Tx:19.42  contain behind your little barrier and keep separate from each other  seems mightier than the universe, for it would hold back the universe
Tx:19.44  Guilt can raise no real barriers against it. And all that  seems to stand between you must fall away because of the appeal you
Tx:19.77  peace must flow across. No one can die unless he chooses death. What  seems to be the fear of death is really its attraction. Guilt, too,
Tx:19.83  principle in a course on miracles than by showing you the one which  seems to be the hardest can be accomplished first? The body can but
Tx:19.84  obstacle of your seeming love for death that peace must flow across  seems to be very great. For in it lies hidden all the ego's secrets,
Tx:19.88 When anything  seems to you to be a source of fear, when any situation strikes you
Tx:19.91  to meet Him and to join with Him at last. For this dark veil, which  seems to make the face of Christ Himself like to a leper's and the
Tx:19.92  you out of separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of God  seems quite forgotten; the cleavage of your Self from you—the fear
Tx:19.96 It  seems to you the world will utterly abandon you if you but raise your
Tx:19.99  without a purpose is still meaningless, and even when it is over, it  seems to make no sense. How can you know that it is over unless you
Tx:19.101 This brother who stands beside you still  seems to be a stranger. You do not know him, and your interpretation
Tx:19.101  of him is very fearful. And you attack him still, to keep what  seems to be yourself unharmed. Yet in his hands is your salvation.
Tx:20.20  Yet it was you who made it merciless, and now if mercilessness  seems to look back at you, it can be corrected.
Tx:20.35  much that must be done before the way to peace is open. Perhaps this  seems impossible to you. But ask yourself if it is possible that God
Tx:20.52  relationship is no relationship. It is a state of isolation which  seems to be what it is not. No more than that. The instant that the
Tx:20.55  in sin made flesh and then projected outward. This produces what  seems to be a wall of flesh around the mind, keeping it prisoner in a
Tx:20.55  and grieve and die in honor of its master. And this unholy instant  seems to be life; an instant of despair, a tiny island of dry sand,
Tx:20.65  eyes to shut him out. Such was your purpose, and while this purpose  seems to have any meaning, the means for its attainment will be
Tx:20.74  but always, do you want the purpose which they serve? This world  seems to hold out many purposes, each different and with different
Tx:20.75  which the outside world, projected from within, adjusts to sin and  seems to witness to its reality. It still is true that nothing is
Tx:21.15  and I decided on the goal I would achieve. And everything that  seems to happen to me, I asked for and received as I had asked.
Tx:21.17  power of decision is the determiner of every situation in which he  seems to find himself by chance or accident. No accident nor chance
Tx:21.21  your altars and which you worship. And anything which threatens this  seems to attack your faith, for here is it invested. Think not that
Tx:21.22  you have set up your idols to something else. This other will, which  seems to tell you what must happen, you gave reality. And what would
Tx:21.25  desire. The Son is the effect, whose Cause he would deny. And so he  seems to be the cause, producing real effects. Nothing can have
Tx:21.28  and you deny your whole reality. But grant that everything which  seems to stand between you, keeping you from each other and separate
Tx:21.41  but witnesses to your desire that it be there to see. This merely  seems to be the source of fear.
Tx:21.60  private thoughts? And how could thoughts that enter into what but  seems like yours alone have no effect at all on what is yours? If
Tx:21.72  is turned to hate as easily. This is no army, but a madhouse. What  seems to be a planned attack is bedlam.
Tx:21.76  the first three questions but not yet the last. For this one still  seems fearful and unlike the others. Yet reason would assure you they
Tx:21.76  This final question, which is indeed the last you need decide, still  seems to hold a threat the rest have lost for you. And this imagined
Tx:22.1  in the other yet believed by each to be within himself. And each one  seems to make a different error, and one the other cannot understand.
Tx:22.5  in without a plan of any kind except to wander off, for only that  seems certain.
Tx:22.16  are the same. Both bring the same amount of misery, though each one  seems to be the way to lose the misery the other brings. Every
Tx:22.37  awareness. In an unholy relationship, each one is valued because he  seems to justify the other's sin. He sees within the other what
Tx:22.38  decision, but he can delay. And there is no part of the journey that  seems more hopeless and futile than standing where the road branches
Tx:22.42  And each will be the other's strong protector from everything that  seems to rise between you. So shall you walk the world with me, whose
Tx:22.44  and give as you received. Standing before the veil, it still  seems difficult. But hold out your joined hands and touch this
Tx:22.49  you there is a Force which no illusions can resist. This body only  seems to be immovable; this Force is irresistible in truth. What,
Tx:22.50  this must happen. For it is your unwillingness to overlook what  seems to stand between you that makes it look impenetrable and
Tx:22.60  this error came about, for here lies buried the heavy anchor that  seems to keep the fear of God in place, unmovable and solid as a
Tx:22.61  And you must think that they are separate because of fear. For it  seems safer to attack another or yourself than to attack the great
Tx:22.62  to attack to see it [separate from its Creator]. And thus it  seems as if love could attack and become fearful.
Tx:22.63  you seem to be and therefore can attack. Of the alternatives, this  seems more natural and more in line with your experience. And
Tx:23.15  conflict of illusions disappears when it is brought to truth! For it  seems real only as long as it is seen as war between conflicting
Tx:23.21 Think how this  seems to interfere with the first principle of miracles. For this
Tx:23.23 Think what this  seems to do to the relationship between the Father and the Son. Now
Tx:23.24  mistaken. This leads directly to the third preposterous belief that  seems to make chaos eternal. For if God cannot be mistaken, then He
Tx:23.25  is useless. Nor can salvation lie within the Son, whose every aspect  seems to be at war with Him and justified in its attack. And now is
Tx:23.26  can succeed. Only destruction can be the outcome. And God Himself  seems to be siding with it to overcome His Son. Think not the ego
Tx:23.34  function, yet in dreams, where only shadows play the major roles, it  seems most powerful. No law of chaos could compel belief but for the
Tx:23.37  be. In any state apart from Heaven, life is illusion. At best, it  seems like life; at worst, like death. Yet both are judgments on what
Tx:23.39  the faith in chaos must follow. It is because it follows that it  seems to be a logical conclusion—a valid step in ordered thought.
Tx:23.44 This course is easy just because it makes no compromise. Yet it  seems difficult to those who still believe that compromise is
Tx:23.47  on truth, and every one does violence to the idea of love because it  seems to be of equal truth.
Tx:23.55  fought for on the battleground is of the body—something it  seems to offer or to own. No one who knows that he has everything
Tx:24.1  be Himself. No more His Son. They are. And what illusion that idly  seems to drift between them has the power to defeat what is Their
Tx:24.3  choose for love. Your choosing it has given it all the reality it  seems to have.
Tx:24.15  listen to. And that vast song of honor and of love for what you are  seems silent and unheard before its “mightiness.” You strain your
Tx:24.20  Yet it is not illusions which have reached this final obstacle that  seems to make God and His Heaven so remote that they cannot be
Tx:24.27  You would protect what God created not. And yet this idol that  seems to give you power has taken it away. For you have given your
Tx:24.28  rests on nothing never can be stable. However large and overblown it  seems to be, it still must rock and turn and whirl about with every
Tx:24.55  Yet will you choose in countless situations and through time which  seems to have no end until the truth be your decision. For eternity
Tx:24.69  extent to which it must depend on what you see it for. Perception  seems to teach you what you see. Yet it but witnesses to what you
Tx:24.70  a different light, and it looks different. And without a light, it  seems that it is gone. Yet you are reassured that it is there because
Tx:25.4  Who does it. And in the doing of it will you learn the body merely  seems to be the means to do it. For the mind is His. And so it must
Tx:25.6  for means and end are never separate. And thus you learn what  seems to have a life apart has none.
Tx:25.7  you stand there, before Him now, to let Him draw aside the veil that  seems to keep you separate and apart.
Tx:25.30  has perfect power to offset the world of violence and hate that  seems to stand between you and His gentleness. It is not there in His
Tx:25.37  and aim and justifier of the other. Each is meaningless alone, but  seems to draw a meaning from the other. Each depends upon the other
Tx:25.37  from the other. Each depends upon the other for whatever sense it  seems to have. And no one could believe in one unless the other were
Tx:25.44 Eyes become used to darkness, and the light of brilliant day  seems painful to the eyes grown long accustomed to the dim effects
Tx:25.44  sunlight and the clarity it brings to what they look upon. Dimness  seems better—easier to see and better recognized. Somehow, the
Tx:25.44  to see and better recognized. Somehow, the vague and more obscure  seems easier to look upon; less painful to the eyes than what is
Tx:25.60  the underlying tenet God must be insane. For in this world, it  seems that one must gain because another lost. If this were true,
Tx:25.69  cloak? And what escape has He for them except a door to hell that  seems to look like Heaven's gate?
Tx:26.10  aspects which need solving do not change, whatever form the problem  seems to take. A problem can appear in many forms, and it will do so
Tx:26.11  They are the same to Him because each one, regardless of the form it  seems to take, is a demand that someone suffer loss and make a
Tx:26.17  Heaven be given you instead of hell, and every bolt and barrier that  seems to hold the door securely barred and locked will merely fall
Tx:26.23  over-complicated world. For no one understands what is the same and  seems to choose where no choice really is. The real world is the area
Tx:26.40  back and forth between the past and present. Sometimes the past  seems real, as if it were the present. Voices from the past are heard
Tx:26.48  its senselessness is quite apparent. Kept apart from truth, it  seems to have a meaning and be real.

Tx:19.108  the Presence beyond the veil, not to be lost, but found; not to be  seen, but known. And knowing, nothing in the plan God has established
Tx:19.109  as you look on him, so will the gift itself appear to be. As he is  seen as either the giver of guilt or of salvation, so will his
Tx:19.109  either the giver of guilt or of salvation, so will his offering be  seen and so received. The crucified give pain because they are in

Tx:27.10  of accusation and of blamefulness. Pictured without a purpose, it is  seen as neither sick nor well, nor bad nor good. No grounds are

Tx:27.25  the central target for correction, lest your errors and his own be  seen as one. Yours are mistakes, but his are sins and not the same as
Tx:27.32 An empty space which is not  seen as filled, an unused interval of time not seen as spent and

Tx:27.36  will be plain. A problem set in conflict has no answer, for it is  seen in different ways. And what would be an answer from one point of
Tx:27.50  at transfer, which becomes complete within two situations which are  seen as one, for only common elements are there. Yet this can only be
Tx:27.52  different witnesses it finds. Your brother first among them will be  seen, but thousands stand behind him, and beyond each one there are a
Tx:27.62  who bears the suffering. And he cannot escape because its source is  seen outside himself.
Tx:27.63  will not be difficult, because the problem is absurd when clearly  seen. No one has difficulty making up his mind to let a simple

Tx:27.67  the witness to the world of evil cannot speak except for what has  seen a need for evil in the world. And this is where your guilt was

Tx:28.62  lacks foundation in the truth. And yet, because it does, it can be  seen as not your home but merely as an aid to help you reach the home
Tx:28.66  the safety of this shelter and its Source? From here the body can be  seen as what it is and neither less nor more in worth than the extent
Tx:29.2 Here is the fear of God most plainly  seen. For love is treacherous to those who fear, since fear and hate
Tx:29.5  unless you wanted it to be a cause of separation and of distance  seen between you. Thus do you endow it with a power that lies not

Tx:29.11  not as yet perceived. And its effects are there, though not yet  seen. Look inward now, and you will not behold a reason for regret
Tx:29.26  you like would hold you back as much as those in which the fear is  seen. For every dream is but a dream of fear, no matter what the form
Tx:29.26  dream of fear, no matter what the form it seems to take. The fear is  seen within, without, or both. Or it can be disguised in pleasant

Tx:30.57  world is the state of mind in which the only purpose of the world is  seen to be forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, and the escape from

Tx:30.87  they have no meaning. For there is no light by which they can be  seen and understood. They have no purpose. And what they are for

Tx:31.28 Sins are in bodies. They are not perceived in minds. They are not  seen as purposes but actions. Bodies act, and minds do not. And

W1:130.3 What, then, can fear project upon the world? What can be  seen in darkness that is real? Truth is eclipsed by fear, and what
W1:130.10  it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone have ever  seen before. And you will know God's strength upheld as you made this
W1:134.1  a complete denial of the truth. In such a view, forgiveness must be  seen as mere eccentric folly, and this course appear to rest
W1:135.10 Defend the body, and you have attacked your mind. For you have  seen in it the faults, the weaknesses, the limits, and the lacks from

W1:136.7 When parts are wrested from the whole and  seen as separate and as wholes within themselves, they become symbols
W1:136.7  for attack upon the whole, successful in effect, and never to be  seen as whole again. And yet you have forgotten that they stand but

W1:138.9  The choice cannot be made until alternatives are accurately  seen and understood. All that is veiled in shadows must be raised to

W1:138.10  who can fail to make a choice between alternatives when only one is  seen as valuable, the other as a wholly worthless thing, a but

Tx:6.65  of this perception makes it a fearful one indeed. The Holy Spirit  sees the body only as a means of communication and because

Tx:7.36  unify and heal. As you heal you are healed, because the Holy Spirit  sees no order of healing. Healing is the way to undo the belief in
Tx:7.42  the healer that everyone else does not share with him. Magic always  sees something “special” in the healer which he believes he can offer
Tx:7.53  therefore to His Sons. This is the true communion of the Spirit, Who  sees the altar of God in everyone and, by bringing it to your
Tx:7.79  brother attacks another, this is what he believes. Projection always  sees your will in others. If you will to separate yourself from God,
Tx:8.69  because it is incapable of true generalizations and equates what it  sees with the function it ascribes to it. It does not equate it with
Tx:8.79  Everything used in accordance with its function as the Holy Spirit  sees it cannot be sick. Everything used otherwise is. Do not allow
Tx:8.94  only be what you think you lose. Yet it is only what the Holy Spirit  sees that you can possibly have. We have emphasized many times that
Tx:9.27  questioner, who must decide with God that there is light because he  sees it. And by his acknowledgment, the therapist knows it is there.
Tx:10.45  of your dependence on God in which your freedom lies. The ego  sees all dependency as threatening and has twisted even your longing
Tx:10.71 The ego  sees some good but never only good. That is why its perceptions are
Tx:11.68  from each other because you made them different. The mind then  sees a divided world outside itself but not within. This gives it an
Tx:11.79  invisible. Yet it cannot be invisible in itself, for the Holy Spirit  sees it with perfect clarity. It is invisible to you because you are
Tx:11.79  to decide what reality is. What can be seen is what the Holy Spirit  sees. The definition of reality is God's, not yours. He created it,
Tx:11.82  because his vision is shared. The Holy Spirit looks upon him and  sees nothing else in you. What is invisible to you is perfect in His
Tx:11.92  His Son cannot hurt himself. The retaliation he fears and which he  sees will never touch him, for although he believes in it, the Holy
Tx:12.34  of this that private worlds do differ. Yet the figures that he  sees were never real, for they are made up only of his reactions to
Tx:12.42  all in light. Your vision comes from fear, as His from love. And He  sees for you as your witness to the real world. He is the Holy
Tx:12.42  forth its witnesses and drawing them unto you. For He loves what He  sees within you, and He would extend it. And He will not return unto
Tx:12.43  what He is, He knows His Father. Beyond your darkest dreams, He  sees God's guiltless Son within you, shining in perfect radiance,
Tx:12.44  upon themselves with love, seeing themselves as the Holy Spirit  sees them. And with this vision of the truth in them came all the
Tx:12.69  it, it will be wrenched and hurled into the dust. For where the ego  sees salvation, it sees separation, and so you lose whatever you have
Tx:12.69  and hurled into the dust. For where the ego sees salvation, it  sees separation, and so you lose whatever you have gotten in its
Tx:13.30  guiltless in the peace of God. If he is guiltless and in peace and  sees it not, he is delusional and has not looked upon himself. To him
Tx:13.35  with the perceived and harsh intrusion of guilt on peace. Yet no one  sees himself in conflict and ravaged by a cruel war unless he
Tx:13.57  kings with golden crowns because of them. All this the Holy Spirit  sees and teaches simply that all this is not true. To these unhappy
Tx:14.4  as like himself, making them unable to communicate because each  sees the other unlike the way he sees himself. God can communicate
Tx:14.4  unable to communicate because each sees the other unlike the way he  sees himself. God can communicate only to the Holy Spirit in your
Tx:14.14  you see as guiltless. Crucifixion is always the ego's aim. It  sees as guilty, and by its condemnation, it would kill. The Holy
Tx:14.14  as guilty, and by its condemnation, it would kill. The Holy Spirit  sees only guiltlessness, and in His gentleness, He would release from
Tx:14.30  darkness open to Him. But what you hide He cannot look upon. For He  sees for you, and unless you look with Him, He cannot see. The vision
Tx:15.70  what it really wants. Yet the ego acknowledges “reality” as it  sees it and recognizes that no one could interpret direct attack as
Tx:15.91  and renounce its use for separation and attack which the ego  sees in it, you will learn you have no need of a body at all. In the
Tx:16.2  itself. [Having identified with what it thinks it understands, it  sees itself and would increase itself by sharing what is like
Tx:16.47  of the “victory” even to the final triumph over God. In this it  sees the ultimate freedom of the self, for nothing would remain to
Tx:16.50  Where both partners see this special self in each other, the ego  sees “a union made in Heaven.” For neither one will recognize that he
Tx:16.62  even one whole individual. For the ego wants but part of him and  sees only this part and nothing else.
Tx:16.72  ego holds the past against you, and in your escape from the past, it  sees itself deprived of the vengeance it believes that you so justly
Tx:17.23 This is the only part of the relationship the Holy Spirit  sees because He knows that only this is true. You have made the
Tx:17.31  the ego was accepted is very anxious to preserve its reason as it  sees it. It does not realize that it is totally insane. And you must
Tx:17.62  Where the goal of truth is set, there faith must be. The Holy Spirit  sees the situation as a whole. The goal establishes the fact that
Tx:18.2  perceives one person as a replacement for another, the Holy Spirit  sees them joined and indivisible. He does not judge between them,
Tx:18.2  can come between what God has joined and what the Holy Spirit  sees as one. But everything seems to come between the fragmented
Tx:18.88 The circle of fear lies just below the level the body  sees and seems to be the whole foundation on which the world is
Tx:19.12  already forgiven, free of all the guilt he laid upon himself. Faith  sees him only now because it looks not to the past to judge him, but
Tx:19.12  to judge him, but would see in him only what it would see in you. It  sees not through the body's eyes nor looks to bodies for its
Tx:19.13  And the mind that receives it looks instantly beyond the body and  sees the holy place where it was healed. There is the altar where the
Tx:19.28  keep unheard and thus unanswered? In time the Holy Spirit clearly  sees the Son of God can make mistakes. On this you share His vision.
Tx:19.49  It is the nature of love to look upon only the truth, for there it  sees itself, with which it would unite in holy union and completion.
Tx:19.49  [Love is attracted only to love.] Overlooking guilt completely, it  sees no fear. Being wholly without attack, it could not be afraid.
Tx:19.49  attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is attracted to what love  sees not, and each believes that what the other looks upon does not
Tx:19.54  messengers to send to each other and return to each with what love  sees. They have been given to replace the hungry dogs of fear you
Tx:19.58  store and make your lives complete. This is completion, as the ego  sees it. For guilt creeps in where happiness has been removed and
Tx:19.71  that this relationship be understood, for it is one the ego  sees as proof of sin. It is not really punitive at all. It is but the
Tx:19.97  of each other's illusions and through the eyes of faith, which  sees them not.
Tx:19.107  as guiltless as I look on you, and overlook the sins he thinks he  sees within himself. Offer each other freedom and complete release

Tx:20.9  purpose shine forth from every altar now is yours as well as His. He  sees no strangers, only dearly loved and loving friends. He sees no

Tx:20.28  to sin, and therefore it has none; nor to its results as this world  sees them—sickness and death and misery and pain. These things have
Tx:20.28  and pain. These things have not occurred because the Holy Spirit  sees them not and gives no power to their seeming source. Thus would
Tx:20.41  function, for minds need not the body to communicate. The sight that  sees the body has no use which serves the purpose of a holy
Tx:20.43  yet he knows it not. No more do you. And yet, have faith that He Who  sees the gift in both of you will offer and receive it for you both.
Tx:20.44  Spirit watching over you in love and perfect confidence in what He  sees. He knows the Son of God and shares his Father's certainty the
Tx:20.49  does not build His temples where love can never be. Would He Who  sees the face of Christ choose as His home the only place in all the
Tx:20.63 Who  sees a brother's body has laid a judgment on him and sees him not. He
Tx:20.63 Who sees a brother's body has laid a judgment on him and  sees him not. He does not really see him as sinful; he does not see
Tx:20.66  seeing look upon is sinless. No one who loves can judge, and what he  sees is free of condemnation. And what he sees he did not make, for
Tx:20.66  can judge, and what he sees is free of condemnation. And what he  sees he did not make, for it was given him to see, as was the vision
Tx:21.32  your faith was laid. This is His direction, the only one He ever  sees. And when you wander, He reminds you there is but one. His faith
Tx:21.34  away from sin because His purpose lies in the opposite direction. He  sees the means you use but not the purpose for which you made them.
Tx:21.34  for which you made them. He would not take them from you, for He  sees their value as a means for what He wills for you. You made
Tx:21.34  among your brothers and seek for sin with them. The Holy Spirit  sees perception as a means to teach you that the vision of a holy
Tx:21.47  brings to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now it  sees that Heaven has come to earth at last, from which the ego's rule
Tx:21.51  in them, you will perceive another Self in you. This other Self  sees miracles as natural. They are as simple and natural to It as
Tx:21.60  perceive the other innocent. Who looks upon himself as guilty and  sees a sinless world? And who can see a sinful world and look upon
Tx:21.65  you because he must be one with you. You are responsible for how he  sees himself. And reason tells you it is given you to change his
Tx:21.66  seem to be a burden to you? In madness, yes. And yet what madness  sees must be dispelled by reason. Reason assures you Heaven is what
Tx:21.82  are willing to exchange the world of sin for what the Holy Spirit  sees, since it is this the world of sin denies. And therefore those
Tx:21.83  happiness, but he may do so if he does not see he does it. And if he  sees his happiness as ever changing, now this, now that, and now an
Tx:21.84  of the Son of God's desire remains the proof that he is wrong who  sees himself as helpless. Desire what you will, and you will look on
Tx:21.87  as its Creator is in what He knows, it looks on everything and  sees it is the same. It sees not the ephemeral, for it desires that
Tx:21.87  in what He knows, it looks on everything and sees it is the same. It  sees not the ephemeral, for it desires that everything be like itself
Tx:21.87  not the ephemeral, for it desires that everything be like itself and  sees it so. Nothing has power to confound its constancy because its
Tx:22.3  he would extend it by joining with another, whole as himself. He  sees no difference between these selves, for differences are only of
Tx:22.6  what can it show to you? The brain cannot interpret what your vision  sees. This you would understand. The brain interprets to the body, of
Tx:22.7  became your sight. Yet it must be the “something else” which  sees, and as not you, explains its sight to you. Your vision would,
Tx:22.7  this thing to lead you, asking it to explain to you the world it  sees, you have no reason not to listen nor to suspect that what it
Tx:22.9  difficulty in understanding what this vision tells you, for everyone  sees only what he thinks he is. And what your sight would show you,
Tx:22.10  to him at different times. Neither the sounds he hears nor sights he  sees are stable yet. But what he hears and does not understand will
Tx:22.10  around him, and they with him. And the strange, shifting ones he  sees about him will become to him his comforters, and he will
Tx:22.11  For no two people can unite except through Christ, Whose vision  sees them one.
Tx:22.20  must be eternal. Yet reason looks on this another way, for reason  sees the source of an idea as what will make it true or false. This
Tx:22.30  to see your errors and make way for their correction. For reason  sees through errors, telling you what you thought was real is not.
Tx:22.31  so thick it would be madness to attempt to pass it. Yet reason  sees through it easily because it is an error. The form it takes
Tx:22.34  idea they represent left not its maker, and it is their maker that  sees through them. What was its maker's goal but not to see? For this
Tx:22.37  each one is valued because he seems to justify the other's sin. He  sees within the other what impels him to sin against his will. And
Tx:22.37  himself as causing sin by his desire to have sin real. Yet reason  sees a holy relationship as what it is—a common state of mind,
Tx:23.32 No one wants madness, nor does anyone cling to his madness if he  sees that this is what it is. What protects madness is the belief
Tx:23.34  and disregard of content. No one who thinks that one of them is true  sees what it says. Some forms it takes seem to have meaning, and that
Tx:24.16  see his specialness at all. Christ's vision is their “enemy,” for it  sees not what they would look upon, and it would show them that the
Tx:24.40  loves and knows it as Himself. And thus does He rejoice at what He  sees because He knows that it is one with Him and with His Father.
Tx:24.40  with Him and with His Father. Specialness, too, takes joy in what it  sees, although it is not true. Yet what you seek for is a source of
Tx:24.42  but from forgiveness? The Christ in you looks only on the truth and  sees no condemnation that could need forgiveness. He is at peace
Tx:24.42  condemnation that could need forgiveness. He is at peace because He  sees no sin. Identify with Him, and what has He that you have not? He
Tx:24.42  eyes, your ears, your hands, your feet. How gentle are the sights He  sees, the sounds He hears. How beautiful His hand that holds His
Tx:24.52  is all the world is for. That is the only purpose the Holy Spirit  sees in it and thus the only one it has. Until you see the healing of
Tx:24.52  is not there and all belief God's Son can suffer pain because he  sees himself as he is not.
Tx:24.58  can see your brother truly. Would you decide against the holiness He  sees?
Tx:25.19  be given you. However much he overlooks the masterpiece in him and  sees only a frame of darkness, it is still your only function to
Tx:25.19  of darkness, it is still your only function to behold in him what he  sees not. And in this seeing is the vision shared that looks on
Tx:25.22  completion to your brother. See not in him the sinfulness he  sees, but give him honor that you may esteem yourself and him. To
Tx:25.30  been wrong. And thus is change made possible. The Holy Spirit too  sees what He sees as far beyond the chance of change. But on His
Tx:25.30  And thus is change made possible. The Holy Spirit too sees what He  sees as far beyond the chance of change. But on His vision sin cannot
Tx:25.55  would look beyond the madness and rest peacefully on truth. Each  sees a world immutable, as each defines the changeless and eternal
Tx:25.57  of form most suitable to him; one which will not attack the world he  sees, but enter into it in quietness and show him he is mad. This One
Tx:25.58  wants. From this position does his sinfulness and all the sin he  sees within the world offer him less and less— until he comes to
Tx:25.74  it is seen and recognized. For just one witness is enough if he  sees truly. Simple justice asks no more. Of each one does the Holy
Tx:25.81  any kind He cannot see. The world solves problems in another way. It  sees a resolution as a state in which it is decided who shall win and
Tx:25.87  receiving are the same. Because it does not make the same unlike, it  sees no differences where none exist. And thus it is the same for
Tx:25.87  where none exist. And thus it is the same for everyone, because it  sees no differences in them. Its offering is universal, and it
Tx:26.7  by you than can the light in you be blotted out because he  sees it not. You who would make a sacrifice of life and make your
Tx:26.9 Condemn him not by seeing him within the rotting prison where he  sees himself. It is your special function to ensure the door be
Tx:26.25  Forgiveness always rests upon the one who offers it until he  sees himself as needing it no more. And thus is he returned to his
Tx:26.89  rendering it purposeless, without the function that the Holy Spirit  sees. And simple justice has been thus denied to every living thing
Tx:27.19  you wished him well. This is the law the miracle obeys; that healing  sees no specialness at all. It does not come from pity but from love.
Tx:27.27  be shared, and so it cannot be the function which the Holy Spirit  sees as His. And you can rest assured that He will not fulfill a
Tx:27.57 God's Witness  sees no witnesses against the body. Neither does He harken to the
Tx:27.62  is unconscious of what brought on the attack against himself, he  sees himself attacked unjustly and by something not himself. He is
Tx:27.65  not hold has made upon himself. This is the purpose of the world he  sees. And looked at thus, the world provides the means by which this
Tx:27.68  cause they have is something quite apart from him, and what he  sees is separate from his mind. He cannot doubt his dreams' reality
Tx:27.80  a figure in a dream. But who reacts to figures in a dream unless he  sees them as if they were real? The instant that he sees them as they
Tx:27.80  dream unless he sees them as if they were real? The instant that he  sees them as they are, they have no more effects on him because he
Tx:27.89  of suffering to Him Who knows that every one is like the rest. He  sees no differences where none exist, and He will teach you how each
Tx:28.7  ancient that it far exceeds the span of memory which your perception  sees.
Tx:28.21  The dreamer of a dream is not awake but does not know he sleeps. He  sees illusions of himself as sick or well, depressed or happy, but
Tx:28.22  that his wishes have been done. Thus does he fear his own attack but  sees it at another's hands. As victim, he is suffering from its
Tx:28.44  just a little broken bit which he insisted was himself. And when he  sees this picture, he will recognize himself. If you share not your
Tx:28.56  it is, but for the uses you have made of it. You shrink from what it  sees and what it hears and hate its frailty and littleness. And you
Tx:28.56  and littleness. And you despise its acts but not your own. It  sees and acts for you. It hears your voice. And it is frail and
Tx:29.37  of fear in every dream that has been kept apart from use by Him Who  sees a different function for a dream. When dreams are shared, they
Tx:29.67  nor interposed between the thoughts the mind conceives and what it  sees. No one is used for something he is not, for childish things
Tx:30.2  practice with the ones you recognize, a set begins to form which  sees you through the rest. It is not wise to let yourself become
Tx:30.73  of God the sure result of seeing pardon as unmerited. No one who  sees himself as guilty can avoid the fear of God. But he is saved
Tx:31.5  learning is the only purpose for your learning skill the Holy Spirit  sees in all the world. His simple lessons in forgiveness have a power

Tx:31.75  when first he looks upon one brother as he looks upon himself and  sees the mirror of himself in him. Thus is the concept of himself
Tx:31.78  savior's vision—that he see his innocence in all he looks upon and  sees his own salvation everywhere. He holds no concept of himself
Tx:31.78  no concept of himself between his calm and open eyes and what he  sees. He brings the light to what he looks upon, that he may see it
Tx:31.80  your brother is as it is free of any judgment made upon yourself. It  sees no past in anyone at all. And thus it serves a wholly open mind,

W1:8.1  reason why you see only the past. No one really sees anything. He  sees only his thoughts projected outward. The mind's preoccupation
W1:22.1  must see the world. Having projected his anger onto the world, he  sees vengeance about to strike at him. His own attack is thus
W1:22.1  an increasingly vicious circle until he is willing to change how he  sees. Otherwise, thoughts of attack and counter-attack will preoccupy

W1:92.3  think. His strength denies your weakness. It is your weakness that  sees through the body's eyes, peering about in darkness to behold the
W1:92.4  lies beyond them. It unites with light, of which it is a part. It  sees itself. It brings the light in which your Self appears. In
W1:92.6  It gives its strength to everyone who asks, in limitless supply. It  sees that lack in anyone would be a lack in all, and so it gives its

W1:92.7  and it attacks and hates itself, and darkness covers everything it  sees, leaving its dreams as fearful as itself. No miracles are here,
W1:92.7  miracles are here, but only hate. It separates itself from what it  sees, while light and strength perceive themselves as one.

W1:158.7  and all events without the slightest fading of the light it  sees.

W2:WF.1  What is sin except a false idea about God's Son? Forgiveness merely  sees its falsity and therefore lets it go. What then is free to take

M:12.2  only the Love of God. God can no longer be feared, for the mind  sees no cause for punishment. God's teachers appear to be many, for

W1:95.15 I am One  Self.
W1:95.16  then attempt to feel the meaning which the words convey. You are One  Self, united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God's
W1:95.16  united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God's Son, One  Self with one Creator and one goal—to bring awareness of this
W1:95.17 You are One  Self, complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of
W1:95.17  come through to teach the world the truth about itself. You are One  Self, in perfect harmony with all there is and all that there will
W1:95.17  harmony with all there is and all that there will be. You are One  Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in this Self,
W1:95.17  are One Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in this  Self, united with your Father in His Will.
W1:95.18 Feel this One  Self in you, and let it shine away all your illusions and your
W1:95.18  let it shine away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your  Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as its Creator, with His
W1:95.18  with His strength within you and His love forever yours. You are One  Self, and it is given you to feel this Self within you and to cast
W1:95.18  forever yours. You are One Self, and it is given you to feel this  Self within you and to cast all your illusions out of the One Mind

W1:95.21 You are One  Self with me, united with our Creator in this Self. I honor you
W1:95.21 You are One Self with me, united with our Creator in this  Self. I honor you because of what I am, and what He is, Who loves us
W1:96.1 Although you are One  Self, you experience yourself as two—as both good and evil, loving
W1:96.3  and evil have no meeting place. The self you made can never be your  Self, nor can your Self be split in two and still be what it is and
W1:96.3  place. The self you made can never be your Self, nor can your  Self be split in two and still be what it is and must forever be.
W1:96.8 Your  Self retains its thoughts, and they remain within your mind and in
W1:96.8  that it was done. Thus is salvation kept among the thoughts your  Self holds dear and cherishes for you.
W1:96.9  in your mind is guaranteed by Him Who speaks to you from your One  Self. Our hourly five minute practicing will be a search for Him
W1:96.9  be a search for Him within your mind. Salvation comes from this One  Self through Him Who is the bridge between your mind and it.
W1:96.10 Wait patiently, and let Him speak to you about your  Self, and what your mind can do, restored to it and free to serve its
W1:96.12 Salvation comes from my One  Self. Its thoughts are mine to use.
W1:96.15  that your mind has found the function that it sought to lose. Your  Self will welcome it and give it peace. Restored in strength, it will

W1:96.16 Your  Self knows that you cannot fail today. Perhaps your mind remains
W1:96.16  uncertain yet a little while. Be not dismayed by this. The joy your  Self experiences it will save for you, and it will yet be yours in

W1:96.17  time today you tell your frantic mind salvation comes from your One  Self, you lay another treasure in your growing store. And all of it
W1:97.1 Today's idea identifies you with your One  Self. It accepts no split identity, nor tries to weave opposing
W1:97.2 We state again the truth about your  Self, the holy Son of God who rests in you whose mind has been
W1:97.11  that you are Spirit, one with Him and God, your brothers and your  Self. Listen for His assurance every time you speak the words He
W1:99.14  teach you what you need to learn to lay all fear aside and know your  Self as Love Which has no opposite in you.
W1:100.11  the idea for today between your longer practice periods. It is your  Self Who calls to you today. And it is Him you answer every time you
W1:106.5  for who could reach God's Son except his Father calling through your  Self?
W1:107.10  like to you your Father knows that you are both the same. It is your  Self you ask to go with you, and how could He be absent where you are?
W1:107.12  will correct all errors in my mind, and I will rest in Him Who is my  Self.
W1:110.8  this statement firmly in your mind, try to discover in your mind the  Self Who is the holy Son of God Himself. Seek Him within you Who is
W1:110.9 You are as God created you. Today honor your  Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of God instead of what
W1:110.11  Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy  Self, the Christ in each of us:
W1:R3.12  and make it holy, worthy of God's Son, acceptable to God and to your  Self.
W1:113.2 [95] I am One  Self, united with my Creator. Serenity and perfect peace are mine

Tx:2.91  right-minded can escape. Death wishes do not kill in the physical  sense, but they do kill spiritual awareness. All destructive thinking
Tx:2.98  rests entirely on the mastery of love. In the interim, the  sense of conflict is inevitable since man has placed himself in a
Tx:2.99  darkness is abolished. What man believes is true for him. In this  sense the separation has occurred, and to deny this is merely to
Tx:2.102  have returned. Only then can the meaning of wholeness, in the true  sense, be fully understood.
Tx:2.109  the true. This is a process of division only in the constructive  sense and reflects the true meaning of the Apocalypse. Man will
Tx:3.7  substantial content, it lends itself to projection in the improper  sense.
Tx:3.19  awakens from its sleep and [the Soul] remembers its Creator. All  sense of separation disappears, and level confusion vanishes. The Son
Tx:3.24  like them. The lamb taketh away the sins of the world only in the  sense that the state of innocence, or grace, is one in which the
Tx:3.40  himself. He became a perceiver rather than a creator in the true  sense. Consciousness is correctly identified as the domain of the
Tx:3.47  that it is not there. The truth will always overcome error in this  sense. This is not an active process of destruction at all. We have
Tx:3.52  been greatly confused. When you make something, you make it out of a  sense of lack or need. Anything that is made is made for a specific
Tx:3.53  Nevertheless, they are perfectly stable as God created them. In this  sense, when their behavior is unstable they are disagreeing with
Tx:3.56  everything. Once forgiveness has been accepted, prayer in the usual  sense becomes utterly meaningless. Essentially, a prayer for
Tx:3.61  Last Judgment there will be no more. This is symbolic only in the  sense that everyone is much better off without judgment. When the
Tx:3.68  Despite the apparent contradiction in this position, it is in one  sense more tenable than the view that they created themselves. At
Tx:3.74 This makes absolutely no  sense. The whole picture is one in which man acts in a way he himself
Tx:3.76  into the self the ability for self-creating. This is the only  sense in which God and His Souls are not co-creators. The belief that
Tx:4.1  egocentric is to be dispirited, but to be Self-centered in the right  sense is to be inspired, or in the Soul. The truly inspired are
Tx:4.29 You are not prepared, and in this  sense you are babies. You have no sense of real self-preservation and
Tx:4.29 You are not prepared, and in this sense you are babies. You have no  sense of real self-preservation and are very likely to decide that
Tx:4.30 Only those who have a real and lasting  sense of abundance can be truly charitable. This is quite obvious
Tx:4.48  sort of reward for maintaining this belief. All it can offer is a  sense of temporary existence, which begins with its own beginning and
Tx:4.48  you this life is your existence because it is its own. Against this  sense of temporary existence the Soul offers you the knowledge of
Tx:4.59  that this need not be. Depression always arises ultimately from a  sense of being deprived of something you want and do not have. Know
Tx:4.70  which judges only in terms of threat or non-threat to itself. In one  sense the ego's fear of the idea of God is at least logical, since
Tx:4.70  ego. Fear of dissolution from the Higher Source, then, makes some  sense in ego-terms. But fear of the body, with which the ego
Tx:4.76  this because it would immediately become apparent that there was no  sense in his efforts even if he succeeded. If gold became more
Tx:4.98  extent you permit this state to be curtailed, you are limiting your  sense of your own reality, which becomes total only by your
Tx:5.19  only to listen to it. The Holy Spirit is in you in a very literal  sense. His is the Voice that calls you back to where you were before
Tx:5.22  been lost, because knowledge is sure. God is not in you in a literal  sense; you are part of Him. When you chose to leave Him, He gave you
Tx:5.22  which you must make. In the holy state, the will is free in the  sense that its creative power is unlimited, but choice itself is
Tx:5.72  like the past. This is the ego's continuity and gives it a false  sense of security through the belief that you cannot escape from it.
Tx:5.94  therefore be undone. It cannot be undone by repentance in the usual  sense because this implies guilt. If you allow yourself to feel
Tx:6.19  speak of the crucifixion entirely without anger, because their own  sense of guilt had made them angry.
Tx:6.93  needs protection since your being cannot be assailed. Yet a real  sense of being cannot be yours while you are doubtful of what you
Tx:7.7  “first” as applied to Him is not a time concept. He is first in the  sense that He is the first in the Holy Trinity itself. He is the
Tx:7.31  a science. It is an art, because it depends on inspiration in the  sense that we have already used the term. Inspiration is the opposite
Tx:7.38  else. There is nothing else. God is all in all in a very literal  sense. All being is in Him who is all Being. You are therefore in Him
Tx:7.38  in Him since your being is His. Healing is a way of forgetting the  sense of danger the ego has induced in you by not recognizing its
Tx:7.97  in it, you are describing what you do not know. That is true in a  sense, but no more true than your failure to acknowledge the whole
Tx:7.109  his heart untouched by fear and allow him to give always without any  sense of loss? Does it teach him that this giving is his joy and that
Tx:8.9  Does the total disregard of anything it teaches make anything but  sense? Is this the teacher to whom a Son of God should turn to find
Tx:8.27  the problem of this world. Dispelling it is salvation, and in this  sense I am the salvation of the world.
Tx:8.60  a learner as to be placed in a curriculum which he cannot learn. His  sense of adequacy suffers, and he must become depressed. Being faced
Tx:8.61  Spirit, where devotion to Him replaces devotion to the ego. In this  sense, the body does become a temple to God, because His Voice abides
Tx:8.75  sight of the function of everything. A sick body does not make any  sense. It could not make sense, because sickness is not what the body
Tx:8.75  everything. A sick body does not make any sense. It could not make  sense, because sickness is not what the body is for. Sickness is
Tx:8.76  to collect data which are true. There is no point in trying to make  sense out of meaningless data. Any way you handle them results in
Tx:8.95  A message cannot be said to be communicated unless it makes  sense. How sensible can your messages be when you ask for what you do
Tx:9.1  of the kind of “sense” they stand for. They understand this kind of  sense because it is sensible to them. To the Holy Spirit, it makes no
Tx:9.1  because it is sensible to them. To the Holy Spirit, it makes no  sense at all. To the ego, it is kind and right and good to point out
Tx:9.1  and good to point out errors and “correct” them. This makes perfect  sense to the ego, which is totally unaware of what errors are and
Tx:9.2  a brother, you are telling him that he is wrong. He may be making no  sense at the time, and it is certain that if he is speaking from the
Tx:9.2  is certain that if he is speaking from the ego, he will be making no  sense. But your task is still to tell him he is right. You do not
Tx:9.3  at all between the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego makes no  sense, and the Holy Spirit does not attempt to understand anything
Tx:9.4  do not hear Him, you are listening to your ego and making as little  sense as the brother whose errors you perceive. This cannot be
Tx:9.12  though not of the right teacher. The ego's plan, of course, makes no  sense and will not work. By following it, you will merely place
Tx:9.13  tried to do this in my name, forgetting that my words make perfect  sense because they come from God. They are as sensible now as they
Tx:9.17  as the First was created. The Second Coming is merely the return of  sense. Can this possibly be fearful?
Tx:9.42  as inadequate. Would you look to the ego to help you escape from a  sense of inadequacy it has produced and must maintain for its
Tx:9.50  different kinds of threat to its existence. Its own profound  sense of vulnerability renders it incapable of judgment except in
Tx:9.93  realize that to deny God is to deny their own identity, and in this  sense the wages of sin is death. The sense is very literal; denial of
Tx:9.93  their own identity, and in this sense the wages of sin is death. The  sense is very literal; denial of life perceives its opposite, as all
Tx:11.3 There is but one interpretation of all motivation that makes any  sense. And because it is the Holy Spirit's judgment, it requires no
Tx:11.6  love into your awareness if you perceive them truly. And all your  sense of strain comes from your attempts not to do just this.
Tx:11.11 Fear is a symptom of your deep  sense of loss. If when you perceive it in others you learn to supply
Tx:11.39  that the ego must set you on a journey which cannot but lead to a  sense of futility and depression? To seek and not to find is hardly
Tx:11.44  not done anything. Once you realize this, there is no longer any  sense in attack, for it manifestly does not work and cannot protect
Tx:11.46  need special teaching. You have learning handicaps in a very literal  sense.
Tx:11.49  what can you expect but confusion? The curriculum does not make  sense.
Tx:11.97  is always associated with expiation, and only guilt could induce a  sense of need for expiation. Accepting the guiltlessness of the Son
Tx:13.37  There is no variation. There is no interruption. There is a  sense of peace so deep that no dream in this world has ever brought
Tx:13.54  learning goal depends means absolutely nothing. It does make  sense to you.
Tx:14.19  that only one means anything, and the other is wholly without  sense of any kind.
Tx:14.41  The graciousness of God will take them gently in and cover all their  sense of pain and loss with the immortal assurance of their Father's
Tx:14.50 The little sanity which still remains is held together by a  sense of order which you establish. Yet the very fact that you can do
Tx:14.53  a lot of words which sound impressive but which lack any consistent  sense when they are put together.
Tx:15.10  was born again, you will go forth in time without fear and with no  sense of change with time.
Tx:15.28  into believing that littleness can be blown up by them into a  sense of magnitude that can content them. Neither give littleness,
Tx:15.81  not fail you, for He comes from One Who cannot fail. Accept your  sense of failure as nothing more than a mistake in who you are. For
Tx:15.105  others. For who could thrust Heaven and its Creator aside without a  sense of sacrifice and loss? And who can suffer sacrifice and loss
Tx:16.5  but be sure that you desert not him. Humility is strength in this  sense only—to recognize and accept the fact that you do not know is
Tx:16.19  successful. Is it not time you brought these facts together and made  sense of them?
Tx:16.39  into your mind by judging it to be attainable removes your own  sense of completion and thus denies the wholeness of your Father.
Tx:16.64  In the transition there is a period of confusion in which a  sense of actual disorientation seems to occur. But fear it not, for
Tx:17.2  you have accomplished what you wish. This strange position in a  sense acknowledges your power. Yet by distorting it and devoting it
Tx:17.29  minds so completely that you will not hear the call of truth. In a  sense the special relationship was the ego's answer to the creation
Tx:17.45  goal was all that seemed to give it meaning. Now it seems to make no  sense. Many relationships have been broken off at this point, and the
Tx:17.50  your relationship, for it will seem at times to have no purpose. A  sense of aimlessness will come to haunt you and to remind you of all
Tx:17.59  set at the outset, the situation just seems to happen and makes no  sense until it has already happened. Then you look back at it and try
Tx:18.58  whom He encompasses? Everyone has experienced what he would call a  sense of being transported beyond himself. This feeling of liberation
Tx:18.58  of freedom sometimes experienced in special relationships. It is a  sense of actual escape from limitations.
Tx:18.61  contain you. You go where you would be, gaining, not losing, a  sense of self. In these instants of release from physical
Tx:19.99  is still meaningless, and even when it is over, it seems to make no  sense. How can you know that it is over unless you realize its
Tx:21.50  as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You will experience depression, a  sense of worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality.
Tx:22.4  And now the sameness which you saw extends and finally removes all  sense of differences so that the sameness that lies beneath them all
Tx:22.5  behalf. And where, you wonder, does your strange uneasiness, your  sense of being disconnected, and your haunting fear of lack of
Tx:22.6  that the world you see through eyes which are not yours must make no  sense to you. To whom would vision such as this send back its
Tx:22.29  for here is the beginning of a vision that has meaning. Vision is  sense, quite literally. If it is not the body's sight, it must be
Tx:22.46  goes against the truth, flies in the face of reason, and makes no  sense. Can this be justified? What can this be except an invitation
Tx:23.43  be different, and yet the same remain intact as one. Does this make  sense? Can it be understood?
Tx:23.54  can win. Can it be anything that offers you a perfect calmness and a  sense of love so deep and quiet that no touch of doubt can ever mar
Tx:24.36  that harmful purpose hurts the mind as one. Nothing could make less  sense to specialness. Nothing could make more sense to miracles. For
Tx:24.36  could make less sense to specialness. Nothing could make more  sense to miracles. For miracles are merely change of purpose from
Tx:24.37 This shift in purpose does “endanger” specialness, but only in the  sense that all illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They will not
Tx:24.49  He is your savior from the dreams of fear. He is the healing of your  sense of sacrifice and fear that what you have will scatter with the
Tx:24.61  do through Christ it does not know. To Him this judgment makes no  sense at all, for only what His Father wills is possible, and there
Tx:25.14  up the hopeless and unrewarding task you set yourself. Can it make  sense to hold the fixed belief that there is reason to uphold pursuit
Tx:25.37  a meaning from the other. Each depends upon the other for whatever  sense it seems to have. And no one could believe in one unless the
Tx:25.52  is this world a place of madness. Not one Thought of His makes any  sense at all within this world. And nothing that the world believes
Tx:25.52  believes as true has any meaning in His Mind at all. What makes no  sense and has no meaning is insanity. And what is madness cannot be
Tx:25.52  all beliefs the world gives any meaning to are false and make no  sense at all. This is the choice you make. Do not attempt to see it
Tx:25.56  is their choices are not free and made with reason in the light of  sense.
Tx:26.5  merely ask that they might see a purpose in the world that gives it  sense and makes it meaningful. Without your special function has this
Tx:26.51  some are more true than others, although this clearly makes no  sense at all. All that a hierarchy of illusions can show is
Tx:26.58  find a little treasure of his own. And this he cannot do without a  sense of isolation, loss, and loneliness. This is the treasure he has
Tx:26.73  form is difficult to credit in advance. Nor is there really  sense in this idea.
Tx:27.64  as it is could fail to see it does not follow, and it makes no  sense. Yet it seems sensible because it looks as if the world were
Tx:28.47 What is a  sense of sickness but a sense of limitation? Of a splitting off and
Tx:28.47 What is a sense of sickness but a  sense of limitation? Of a splitting off and separating from? A gap
Tx:28.51  seen and heard and understood. For eyes and ears are senses without  sense, and what they see and hear they but report. It is not they
Tx:28.65 What is the  sense in seeking to be safe in what was made for danger and for fear?
Tx:29.69  so deep and bitter that the dream cannot conceal completely all your  sense of doom. Your self-betrayal must result in fear, for fear is
Tx:30.20 This works against the  sense of opposition and reminds you that help is not being thrust
Tx:30.27 Thus you now can ask a question that makes  sense, and so the answer will make sense as well. Nor will you fight
Tx:30.27  now can ask a question that makes sense, and so the answer will make  sense as well. Nor will you fight against it, for you see that it is
Tx:30.73 This is the false forgiveness which the world employs to keep the  sense of sin alive. And recognizing God is just, it seems impossible
Tx:31.25  you cannot see which way you go. And thus there is confusion and a  sense of endless doubting as you stagger back and forward in the
Tx:31.39  is ever found by following a road away from it. This makes no  sense and cannot be the way. To you who seem to find this course to
Tx:31.63  a world of separation, unrelated things, and happenings that make no  sense at all. This one appears and disappears in death; that one is
Tx:31.73  forever unaccomplished and undone. And thus it dooms you to a bitter  sense of deep depression and futility. Yet it need not be fixed
W1:4.1  look at your thoughts, that they represent such a mixture that, in a  sense, none of them can be called “good” or “bad.” This is why they
W1:11.2  repeat it to yourself, being sure to do so without haste and with no  sense of urgency or effort.
W1:12.9  this too long. Terminate the exercises whenever you experience a  sense of strain.

W1:25.4 Before you can make any  sense out of the exercises for today, one more thought is necessary.
W1:26.6  The concern may take the form of depression, worry, anger, a  sense of imposition, fear, foreboding, or preoccupation. Any problem
W1:29.7  to yourself. At least once or twice you should experience a  sense of restfulness as you do this.
W1:31.3  repeat today's idea to yourself as often as you care to, but with no  sense of hurry.
W1:33.2  surveying your outer and inner perceptions, but without an abrupt  sense of shifting. Merely glance casually around the world you
W1:34.7  minutes and devote them to repeating the idea until you feel some  sense of relief. It will help you if you tell yourself specifically:
W1:38.4  idea for today, close your eyes, and then search your mind for any  sense of loss or unhappiness of any kind as you see it. Try to make
W1:38.8  The purpose of today's exercises is to begin to instill in you a  sense that you have dominion over all things because of what you are.
W1:41.1 Today's idea will eventually overcome completely the  sense of loneliness and abandonment which all the separated ones
W1:41.1  inevitable consequence of separation. So are anxiety, worry, a deep  sense of helplessness, misery, suffering, and intense fear of loss.
W1:41.5  Then make no effort to think of anything. Try instead to get a  sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts of the world. Try
W1:44.4  but only if you find the time merely slipping by with little or no  sense of strain. The form of exercise we will use today is the most
W1:44.8  no particular form of approach is advocated, what is needful is a  sense of the importance of what you are doing, its inestimable value
W1:44.10 If you are doing the exercises correctly, you should experience some  sense of relaxation and even a feeling that you are approaching if
W1:47.6 Now try to slip past all concerns related to your own  sense of inadequacy. It is obvious that any situation that causes you
W1:47.8  safety. You will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a  sense of deep peace, however briefly. Let go all the trivial things
W1:51.4  understand what I see because it is not understandable. There is no  sense in trying to understand it. But there is every reason to let it
W1:62.3  to understand what forgiveness will do for you? It will remove all  sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your mind. It will take
W1:65.10 You need not use these exact words, but try to get a  sense of being willing to have your illusions of purpose be replaced
W1:69.7 If you are doing the exercises properly, you will begin to feel a  sense of being lifted up and carried ahead. Your little effort and
W1:71.6  in all ways. The result can only bring confusion, misery, and a deep  sense of failure and despair.
W1:73.1  and therefore have no power at all. Its wishes are not idle in the  sense that they can make a world of illusions in which your belief
W1:74.11  is easily detected. If you are succeeding, you will feel a deep  sense of joy and an increased alertness rather than a feeling of
W1:76.1  things that have no meaning, you bind yourself to laws that make no  sense. Thus do you seek to prove salvation is where it is not.
W1:91.4  within your easy reach, you will not doubt. The miracles your  sense of weakness hides will leap into awareness as you feel the
W1:91.12  particularly on the experience of strength. Remember that all  sense of weakness is associated with the belief that you are a body,
W1:95.3  to be aware of only what can hear and see and what makes perfect  sense. We will again direct our exercises towards reaching your One
W1:96.1  two—as both good and evil, loving and hating, mind and body. This  sense of being split into opposites induces feelings of acute and
W1:102.1  enough to let you question it and to suspect it really makes no  sense. It has not gone as yet but lacks the roots that once secured
W1:107.3 Then let the  sense of quiet that you felt be multiplied a hundred times and then
W1:121.1  peace. Here is the key to meaning in a world which seems to make no  sense. Here is the way to safety in apparent dangers which appear to
W1:122.1  Do you want happiness, a quiet mind, a certainty of purpose, and a  sense of worth and beauty that transcends the world? Do you want care
W1:124.11  hour as your gift to God, in certainty that His return will be a  sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you to
W1:132.19  by as you send out these thoughts to bless the world. But you will  sense your own release, although you may not fully understand as yet
W1:134.18  practicing thus far in willingness and honesty, you will begin to  sense a lifting up, a lightening of weight across your chest, a deep
W1:135.2  from what is happening because it must contain what threatens you. A  sense of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness, a
W1:135.3  ethics and its leaders and its gods, all serve but to preserve its  sense of threat. For no one walks the world in armature but must have
W1:136.19  not feel at all. If you have been successful, there will be no  sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure. No
W1:138.3  for nothing in return. And time goes by without results. There is no  sense of gain, for nothing is accomplished; nothing learned.
W1:153.4  of sanity seems but to be an idle dream, beyond the possible. The  sense of threat the world encourages is so much deeper and so far
W1:154.6  they bear, but they become their first receivers in the truest  sense, receiving to prepare themselves to give.
W1:155.4  while still believing its reality, and they have suffered from a  sense of loss and have not been released accordingly. Others have
W1:155.4  have chosen nothing but the world, and they have suffered from a  sense of loss still deeper, which they did not understand.
W1:161.4  itself to think specifically can no longer grasp abstraction in the  sense that it is all-encompassing. We need to see a little that we
W1:162.5  joy is yours, available to all as remedy for grief and misery, all  sense of loss, and for complete escape from sin and guilt?
W1:164.4  ancient peace you carry in your heart and have not lost. There is a  sense of holiness in you the thought of sin has never touched. All
W1:I2.1  as yet. But you are asked to practice now in order to attain the  sense of peace such unified commitment will bestow, if only
W1:I2.2  to lift these blocks, however briefly. Words alone cannot convey the  sense of liberation which their lifting brings. But the experience of
W1:184.4  of little things and looks upon them. And a lack of space, a  sense of unity or vision which sees differently become the threats
W1:187.5  for they cannot be lost. There is no giver and receiver in the  sense the world conceives of them. There is a giver who retains,
W1:198.13  where before there was a frantic rush of thoughts that made no  sense. Now is there tranquil light across the face of earth, made
W1:200.1  the agony of yet more bitter disappointments, bleak despair, and  sense of icy hopelessness and doubt. Seek you no further. There is
W2:WS.3 Salvation is undoing in the  sense that it does nothing, failing to support the world of dreams

Tx:18.59  you unite with it. And both become whole as neither is perceived as  separate. What really happens is that you have given up the illusion
Tx:18.75  a world inhabited by bodies seem to be. Each body seems to house a  separate mind, a disconnected thought living alone and in no way

Tx:18.84  tiny part of yourself, the little thought that seems split off and  separate, which the Holy Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's

Tx:19.15 As faithlessness will keep your little kingdoms barren and  separate, so will faith help the Holy Spirit prepare the ground for

Tx:19.36  let not sin arise again to blind your eyes. For sin would keep you  separate, but your Redeemer would have you look upon each other as

Tx:19.106  and share in it that we may rise as one in resurrection and not  separate in death. Behold the gift of freedom that I gave the Holy
Tx:20.17  and interposing them between those who would meet to keep them  separate and prevent their union. It is this studied interference
Tx:20.64  without the end for which it was intended, nor is it valued as a  separate thing apart from the intention. The means seem real because

Tx:21.28  which seems to stand between you, keeping you from each other and  separate from your Father, you made in secret, and the instant of

Tx:22.29  not ambiguous. It can be understood. And here do reason and the ego  separate to go their different ways.
Tx:22.47  together with nothing in between. God holds your hands, and what can  separate whom He has joined as one with Him? It is your Father Whom
Tx:22.50  cost of all illusions. Not one but rests on the belief that you are  separate. Not one that does not seem to stand, heavy and solid and
Tx:22.61  this is your attempt because you think the Father and the Son are  separate. And you must think that they are separate because of fear.
Tx:22.61  Father and the Son are separate. And you must think that they are  separate because of fear. For it seems safer to attack another or
Tx:22.62  The only way it could be justified is if each one of you were  separate from the other, and all were separate from your Creator. For
Tx:22.62  is if each one of you were separate from the other, and all were  separate from your Creator. For only then would it be possible to
Tx:22.65  given you to be used and not obscured. What teaches you you cannot  separate, denies the ego. Let truth decide if you be different or the
Tx:23.20  everyone. Like all these principles, this one maintains that each is  separate and has a different set of thoughts which sets him off from
Tx:23.23  enemies. And their relationship is one of opposition, just as the  separate aspects of the Son meet only to conflict but not to join.
Tx:24.10  suffer vengeance. Every twinge of malice or stab of hate or wish to  separate arises here. For here the purpose which you share becomes
Tx:24.22  with Him Who chose that love could never be divided and kept  separate from what it is and must forever be. You are your brother's;
Tx:24.24  self. Nothing is sacred here but unto you and you alone, apart and  separate from all your brothers, safe from all intrusions of sanity
Tx:24.27  not God's. So does it seem to split you off from God and make you  separate from Him as its defender. You would protect what God created
Tx:24.50  one with him and you—that what he has is yours because you are not  separate from him nor from his Father.
Tx:24.59  and unjoined with anything beyond the body. In its eyes, you are a  separate universe with all the power to hold itself complete within
Tx:24.69  will come to you when you are ready. Here are the means and purpose  separate because they were so made and so perceived. And therefore do
Tx:25.6  of what it is your purpose to behold, for means and end are never  separate. And thus you learn what seems to have a life apart has none.
Tx:25.7 You are the means for God—not  separate nor with a life apart from His. His Life is manifest in you
Tx:25.7  Him now, to let Him draw aside the veil that seems to keep you  separate and apart.
Tx:25.8 Since you believe that you are  separate, Heaven presents itself to you as separate too. Not that it
Tx:25.8  you believe that you are separate, Heaven presents itself to you as  separate too. Not that it is in truth, but that the link that has
Tx:25.8  brothers join as one in truth. Christ and His Father never have been  separate, and Christ abides within your understanding in the part of
Tx:25.8  The Holy Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad desire to be  separate, different, and special, to the Christ, to make the oneness
Tx:25.10  as if they were discrete, for while you think that part of you is  separate, the concept of a oneness joined as one is meaningless. It
Tx:25.11 What is the same can not be different, and what is one can not have  separate parts.
Tx:25.17  is the frame God set around the part of Him that you would see as  separate. Yet its frame is joined to its Creator, one with Him and
Tx:25.17  it but serves His purpose, not yours apart from His. It is your  separate purpose that obscures the picture and cherishes the frame
Tx:25.21 Forgive your brother, and you cannot  separate yourself from him nor from his Father. You need no
Tx:25.22  light be yours to share; that you may see as one what never has been  separate nor apart from all God's love as given equally.
Tx:25.24  it is, and from His Son's belief He could not let Himself be  separate entirely. He could not enter His Son's insanity with him,
Tx:25.71  But vengeance without love has gained in strength by being  separate and apart from love. And what but vengeance now can help and
Tx:25.74  is but for this—that each one learn that love and justice are not  separate. And both are strengthened by their union with each other.
Tx:25.83  more condemned, and thus apart from healing. Who is there who can be  separate from salvation if its purpose is the end of specialness?
Tx:26.1  saving just a little for yourself. To see a brother in another body  separate from yours is the expression of a wish to see a little part
Tx:26.4  And while you see your brother as a body, apart from you and  separate in his cell, you are demanding sacrifice of him and you.
Tx:26.4  Father be without His Son? Yet every sacrifice demands that they be  separate and without the other. The memory of God must be denied if
Tx:26.4  What witness to the wholeness of God's Son is seen within a world of  separate bodies, however much he witnesses to truth? He is invisible
Tx:26.9  keep himself from justice? Could your function be a task apart and  separate from His Own?
Tx:26.26  has been forgiven must join, for nothing stands between to keep them  separate and apart. The sinless must perceive that they are one, for
Tx:26.26  recognizing what is part of them has not been kept apart and  separate.
Tx:26.54  off is symbolized in your perception by a body which is clearly  separate and a thing apart. Yet what this symbol represents is but
Tx:26.54  Yet what this symbol represents is but your wish to be apart and  separate. Forgiveness takes away what stands between your brother and
Tx:26.59  feel guilty, though without understanding why. Effects are seen as  separate from their source and seem to be beyond you to control or to
Tx:26.60 Cause and effect are one, not  separate. God wills you learn what always has been true—that He
Tx:26.61  possible when cause and consequence are brought together, not kept  separate. The healing of effect without the cause can merely shift
Tx:26.62  but deceive yourself. What God calls one will be forever one, not  separate. His Kingdom is united—thus it was created, and thus will
Tx:26.68  little you would keep between yourselves that you might be a little  separate. For time and space are one illusion which takes different
Tx:26.69  a little careful and a little watchful of interests perceived as  separate. From this perception you cannot conceive of gaining what
Tx:26.72  judged as fearful. And in overlooking this, is it protected and kept  separate from healing. For a miracle is now. It stands already here
Tx:26.77  him, that you may behold His glory and rejoice that Heaven is not  separate from you.
Tx:26.84  Whom it was created. Where He dwells, His Son dwells with Him, never  separate. And They give thanks that They are welcome made at last.

Tx:27.41  does the meaningfulness of the answer come. Here is it possible to  separate your wishes from the answer, so it can be given you and also
Tx:27.52  And their common answer shows the questions could not have been  separate.
Tx:27.53  really are. Infinity cannot be understood by merely counting up its  separate parts. God thanks you for your healing, for He knows it is a
Tx:27.68  they have is something quite apart from him, and what he sees is  separate from his mind. He cannot doubt his dreams' reality because
Tx:27.69  Helpless he stands, a victim to a dream conceived and cherished by a  separate mind. Careless indeed of him this mind must be, as
Tx:27.82  the dream he gave away unto the dreamer who perceives the dream as  separate from himself and done to him. Into eternity, where all is
Tx:27.83  in which is time made real; a part of God which can attack itself; a  separate brother as an enemy; a mind within a body, all are forms of
Tx:27.90  from no one but yourself. And it is this that has maintained you  separate from the world and kept your brother separate from you. Now
Tx:27.90  has maintained you separate from the world and kept your brother  separate from you. Now need you but to learn that both of you are
Tx:28.18  seen. A mind within a body and a world of other bodies, each with  separate minds, are your “creations,” you the “other” mind, creating
Tx:28.25  world is neutral, and the bodies which still seem to move about as  separate things need not be feared. And so they are not sick.
Tx:28.29 No mind is sick until another mind agrees that they are  separate. And thus it is their joint decision to be sick. If you
Tx:28.29  project its guilt without your aid in letting it perceive itself as  separate and apart from you. Thus is the body not perceived as sick
Tx:28.29  you. Thus is the body not perceived as sick by both your minds, from  separate points of view. Uniting with a brother's mind prevents the
Tx:28.29  the effect of minds which join, as sickness comes from minds which  separate.
Tx:28.30 The miracle does nothing just because the minds are joined and cannot  separate. Yet in the dreaming has this been reversed, and separate
Tx:28.30  and cannot separate. Yet in the dreaming has this been reversed, and  separate minds are seen as bodies which are separated and which
Tx:28.32  they have joined and covered up the space which seemed to keep them  separate for a little while? Where are the grounds for sickness when
Tx:28.34  picture of the Son of God in broken pieces, each concealed within a  separate and uncertain bit of clay?
Tx:28.37  of sickness and of death. It means that you share not his wish to  separate and let him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you wish that
Tx:28.38  apart from them but not apart from him who dreams them. Thus you  separate the dreamer from the dream and join [with] one but let the
Tx:28.40  To join his dreams is thus to meet him not because his dreams would  separate from you. Therefore, release him, merely by your claim on
Tx:28.44  again. This holy picture, healed entirely, does He hold out to every  separate piece that thinks it is a picture in itself. To each he
Tx:28.56  does not know. You send it forth to seek for separation and to be a  separate thing. And then you hate it, not for what it is, but for the
Tx:28.61  What is unseparated must be joined. And what is joined cannot be  separate.
Tx:29.3  is your enemy. Sometimes a friend, perhaps, provided that your  separate interests made your friendship possible a little while. But
Tx:29.4 The gap between you is not one of space between two  separate bodies. This but seems to be dividing off your separate
Tx:29.4  between two separate bodies. This but seems to be dividing off your  separate minds. It is the symbol of a promise made to meet when you
Tx:29.4  It is the symbol of a promise made to meet when you prefer and  separate until you both elect to meet again. And then your bodies

Tx:29.5 The body could not  separate your minds unless you wanted it to be a cause of separation

Tx:29.55  idols is a veil across the face of Christ because its purpose is to  separate your brother from yourself. A dark and fearful purpose, yet
Tx:29.68 Forgiving dreams have little need to last. They are not made to  separate the mind from what it thinks. They do not seek to prove the
Tx:30.41  a gap which is not there. It is not this you want. Creation gives no  separate person and no separate thing the power to complete the Son
Tx:30.41  It is not this you want. Creation gives no separate person and no  separate thing the power to complete the Son of God. What idol can be
Tx:30.43  die. They share the attributes of their creator, nor have they a  separate life apart from his. The thoughts you think are in your
Tx:30.43  as you are in the mind Which thought of you. And so there are no  separate parts in what exists within God's Mind. It is forever one,
Tx:30.87  but the senseless, isolated scripts you write in sleep. Look not to  separate dreams for meaning. Only dreams of pardon can be shared.
Tx:30.89  Reality is changeless. It is this that makes it real and keeps it  separate from all appearances. It must transcend all form to be

Tx:4.88  Soul do not know each other. The separated mind cannot maintain the  separation except by dissociating. Having done this, it utilizes

Tx:5.17  is the motivation for miracle-mindedness, the will to heal the  separation by letting it go. This will is in you, because God placed
Tx:5.18  This is the vocation of the mind. The mind had no calling until the  separation, because before that it had only being and would not have
Tx:5.18  the call to right thinking. The Holy Spirit was God's Answer to the  separation, the means by which the Atonement could repair until the
Tx:5.19 The Atonement and the  separation began at the same time. When man made the ego, God placed
Tx:5.21  and the Kingdom of Heaven breaks through into its own. Before the  separation you did not need guidance. You knew as you will know

Tx:5.40  Those which you accept are the foundations of your beliefs. The  separation is merely another term for a split mind. It was not an

Tx:6.24  to teach that all forms of rejection are utterly meaningless. The  separation is the notion of rejection. As long as you teach this, you

Tx:6.34  full awareness of the Atonement, then, is the recognition that the  separation never occurred. The ego cannot prevail against this
Tx:6.48  makes the body the ego's friend. It is an alliance frankly based on  separation. If you side with this alliance, you will be afraid,

Tx:6.62  The body is the symbol of what you think you are. It is clearly a  separation device and therefore does not exist. The Holy Spirit, as

Tx:8.96  Your will is your salvation because it is the same as God's. The  separation is nothing more than the belief that it is different.
Tx:9.16  ridiculous as it seems, is really the crucial issue in the whole  separation fantasy. Anyone who elects a totally insane guide must be
Tx:9.67  for if to desire wholly is to create, you will have willed away the  separation, returning your mind simultaneously to your Creator and
Tx:9.92  the returning, the little light must be acknowledged first, for the  separation was a descent from magnitude to littleness. But the spark
Tx:10.16 If sickness is  separation, the will to heal and be healed is the first step toward
Tx:10.41  “Dynamics” implies the power to do something, and the whole  separation fallacy lies in the belief that the ego has the power to
Tx:10.43  of any power except its own. This is why it is the symbol of  separation.
Tx:10.46 The ego always attacks on behalf of  separation. Believing it has the power to do this, it does nothing
Tx:10.48  is indeed the skill at which it is very ingenious. How can it preach  separation without upholding it through fear, and would you listen to
Tx:10.53  that the ego believes that power, understanding, and truth lie in  separation, and to establish this belief it must attack. Unaware that
Tx:10.53  belief cannot be established and obsessed with the conviction that  separation is salvation, the ego attacks everything it perceives by
Tx:10.53  meaning. The ego will always substitute chaos for meaning, for if  separation is salvation, harmony is threat.
Tx:10.85 In the real world there is no sickness, for there is no  separation and no division. Only loving thoughts are recognized, and
Tx:11.13  truth. And thus will you learn of Him how to replace your dream of  separation with the fact of unity. For the separation is only the
Tx:11.13  to replace your dream of separation with the fact of unity. For the  separation is only the denial of union and, correctly interpreted,
Tx:11.32  Mind of God, you would die, and the world you perceive is a world of  separation.
Tx:11.46  a split mind has made itself a poor learner. You tried to make the  separation eternal because you wanted to retain the characteristics
Tx:11.60 What is one cannot be perceived as separate, and the denial of the  separation is the reinstatement of knowledge. At the altar of God,
Tx:11.86  of guilt into the Mind of God's Son was the beginning of the  separation, as the acceptance of the Atonement is its end. The world
Tx:11.86  Their growth is attended by suffering, and they learn of sorrow and  separation and death. Their minds are trapped in their brain, and its
Tx:11.94  guilt brings a belief in condemnation of one by another, projecting  separation in place of unity. You can condemn only yourself, and by
Tx:12.12  not believe that it saves you from love. For this wish caused the  separation. You have protected it because you do not want the
Tx:12.12  the separation. You have protected it because you do not want the  separation healed, and you realize that, by removing the dark cloud
Tx:12.69  and hurled into the dust. For where the ego sees salvation, it sees  separation, and so you lose whatever you have gotten in its name.

Tx:13.26  does what God would have Him do and has always done so. He has seen  separation, but knows of union. He teaches healing, but He also knows
Tx:14.8  and nothing else can unite us in this world. So will the world of  separation slip away and full communication be restored between the
Tx:14.20 You have interpreted the  separation as a means which you have made for breaking your
Tx:14.24  Opposites must be brought together and not kept apart. For their  separation is only in your mind, and they are reconciled by union, as
Tx:14.27  impossible. But if one is kept in darkness from the other, their  separation seems to keep them both alive and equal in their reality.

Tx:14.54  the underlying lack of content makes a cohesive system impossible.  Separation therefore remains the ego's chosen condition. For no one
Tx:15.46  look to them to meet your imagined needs, you are attempting to use  separation to save you. How, then, could guilt not enter? For
Tx:15.46  to use separation to save you. How, then, could guilt not enter? For  separation is the source of guilt, and to appeal to it for salvation
Tx:15.47  with special love, can offer you salvation is the belief that  separation is salvation. For it is the complete equality of the

Tx:17.15  so clearly for the separation that no one not obsessed with keeping  separation could hear them. They offer you the “reasons” why you
Tx:17.19  as a means of communication into relationships whose only purpose is  separation from reality? What forgiveness is enables Him to do so.
Tx:17.20  That is why Atonement centers on the past, which is the source of  separation, and where it must be undone. For separation must be
Tx:17.20  which is the source of separation, and where it must be undone. For  separation must be corrected where it was made. The ego seeks to

Tx:17.30 The whole defense system which the ego evolved to protect the  separation from the Holy Spirit was in response to the gift with

Tx:18.1  exclude, and substitution is the strongest defense the ego has for  separation.
Tx:18.9  you made for Heaven can keep you from it. In you there is no  separation, and no substitute can keep you from each other. Your
Tx:18.12  has been broken and join in making whole what has been ravaged by  separation and disease?
Tx:18.51  not. Only by assigning to the mind the properties of the body does  separation seem to be possible. And it is mind that seems to be
Tx:18.51  the body, which suffers and dies because it is attacked, to hold the  separation in the mind and let it not know its identity. Mind cannot
Tx:18.53 Would you not have the instruments of  separation reinterpreted as means for salvation and used for purposes
Tx:18.76  whole without it. It is not a separate kingdom, ruled by an idea of  separation from the rest. Nor does a fence surround it, preventing it
Tx:19.3  its weapon used against this Purpose to demonstrate the “fact” that  separation has occurred. The body thus becomes the instrument of
Tx:19.8  totally disconnected to each other. Where there is no overlap, there  separation must be complete. And to perceive this is to recognize
Tx:19.8  must be complete. And to perceive this is to recognize where  separation is and where it must be healed. The result of an idea is
Tx:19.8  The result of an idea is never separate from its source. The idea of  separation produced the body and remains connected to it, making it
Tx:19.32  limit mind leads to a perception of the world in which the proof of  separation seems to be everywhere. And God and His creation seem to
Tx:19.81  Creator. The arrogance of sin, the pride of guilt, the sepulcher of  separation—all are part of your unrecognized dedication to death.
Tx:19.92  Here is your promise never to allow union to call you out of  separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of God seems quite
Tx:20.8  in a blood-red light, the body is your chosen home, and it is  separation that you offer me. And yet the thorns are gone. Look you
Tx:20.26  upon each other and on ourselves. Here all thoughts of any  separation between us become impossible. You who were prisoners in

Tx:21.20  then, at what it is. And very simply see in it the whole exchange of  separation for salvation. All that the ego is, is an idea that it is
Tx:21.52 You do not realize the whole extent to which the idea of  separation has interfered with reason. Reason lies in the other Self
Tx:22.21 This is a crucial period in this course, for here the  separation of you and the ego must be made complete. For if you have
Tx:22.24  power to enslave its maker. This is the same belief that caused the  separation. It is the meaningless idea that thoughts can leave the
Tx:22.64  the union of the Creator and His Son. From loving minds there is no  separation. And every thought in one brings gladness to the other
Tx:24.30 God asks for your forgiveness. He would have no  separation, like an alien will, rise between what He wills for you
Tx:24.35  It was conceived to make you frail and helpless. The goal of  separation is its curse. Yet bodies have no goal. Purpose is of the
Tx:25.54  of God to sanity and joy. Nothing attests to death and cruelty, to  separation, and to differences. For here is everything perceived as
Tx:26.2  if they joined, each one would lose its own identity, and by their  separation are their selves maintained.
Tx:26.24 Is not this like your special function, where the  separation is undone by change of purpose in what once was
Tx:26.47  For when it once is possible, it must occur. All sickness comes from  separation. When the separation is denied, it goes. For it is gone as
Tx:26.47  it must occur. All sickness comes from separation. When the  separation is denied, it goes. For it is gone as soon as the idea
Tx:27.16  shows the mind has not been healed. A miracle of healing proves that  separation is without effect. What you would prove to him, you will
Tx:27.22  you must be confused about yourself and who you are. What is the  separation but a wish to take God's function from Him and deny that
Tx:27.67  evil in the world. And this is where your guilt was first beheld. In  separation from your brother was the first attack upon yourself
Tx:28.23 The  separation started with the dream the Father was deprived of His
Tx:28.27  will proceed to change the course of every step in the descent to  separation, until all the steps have been retraced, the ladder gone,
Tx:28.28  to allow your first uncertain steps to be directed up the ladder  separation led you down. The miracle alone is your concern at
Tx:28.32 The cause of pain is  separation, not the body, which is only its effect. Yet separation is
Tx:28.32  of pain is separation, not the body, which is only its effect. Yet  separation is but empty space, enclosing nothing, doing nothing, and
Tx:28.46  gap? The seeds of sickness come from the belief that there is joy in  separation, and its giving up would be a sacrifice. But miracles are
Tx:28.56  and want, the body does not know. You send it forth to seek for  separation and to be a separate thing. And then you hate it, not for
Tx:28.61  its oneness being where the healing lies. What could correct for  separation but its opposite? There is no middle ground in any aspect

Tx:29.4  you agree to meet from time to time and keep apart in intervals of  separation, which protect you from the “sacrifice” of love. The body
Tx:29.5  could not separate your minds unless you wanted it to be a cause of  separation and of distance seen between you. Thus do you endow it
Tx:29.37  dream. When dreams are shared, they lose the function of attack and  separation, even though it was for this that every dream was made.
Tx:29.38  form. Forgiveness is your peace, for herein lies the end of  separation and the dream of danger and destruction, sin, and death;
Tx:30.56 Here does the dream of  separation start to fade and disappear. For here the gap that is not

Tx:5.6  you share a physical possession, you do divide its ownership. If you  share an idea, however, you do not lessen it. All of it is still
Tx:5.21  again, but as you do not know now. God does not guide because He can  share only perfect knowledge. Guidance is evaluative, because it
Tx:5.22  Him, He gave you a Voice to speak for Him because He could no longer  share His knowledge with you without hindrance. Direct communication
Tx:5.27  decision for yourself. The will for this decision is the will to  share it, because the decision itself is the decision to share. It is
Tx:5.27  the will to share it, because the decision itself is the decision to  share. It is made by giving and is therefore the one act of mind that
Tx:5.29  you how to heal by sharing my decision and making it stronger. As we  share this goal we increase its power to attract the whole Sonship
Tx:5.34  in your brother you are acknowledging in yourself, and what you  share you strengthen.
Tx:5.35 The Voice of the Holy Spirit is weak in you. That is why you must  share it. It must be increased in strength before you can hear it. It
Tx:5.49  really free. You have carried the burden of the ideas you did not  share and which were therefore too weak to increase, but you did not
Tx:5.52  not atone for myself alone. Listening to one voice means the will to  share the voice in order to hear it yourself. The mind that was in me
Tx:5.53  because it means the sharing of ideas and the awareness that to  share them is to strengthen them. The union of the Sonship is its
Tx:5.56  and include opposite thoughts at the same level. It is impossible to  share opposing thoughts. The Holy Spirit does not let you forsake
Tx:5.56  does not let you forsake your brothers. Therefore, you can really  share only the parts of your thoughts which are of Him and which He
Tx:5.56  been sufficiently purified, He lets you give them away. The will to  share them is their purification.
Tx:5.58  myself. You go with my blessing and for my blessing. Hold it and  share it, that it may always be ours. I place the peace of God in
Tx:5.58  place the peace of God in your heart and in your hands, to hold and  share. The heart is pure to hold it and the hands are strong to give
Tx:5.73  remind you always of His fairness, and let me teach you how to  share it with your brothers. How else can the chance to claim it for
Tx:5.79 When I said, “I am come as a light into the world,” I surely came to  share the light with you. Remember the symbolic reference we made
Tx:6.5 I have already told you that you can always call on me to  share my decision and thus make it stronger. I also told you that the
Tx:6.8  that way, that I was persecuted as the world judges and did not  share this evaluation for myself. And because I did not share it, I
Tx:6.8  and did not share this evaluation for myself. And because I did not  share it, I did not strengthen it. I therefore offered a different
Tx:6.8  a different interpretation of attack and one which I do want to  share with you. If you will believe it, you will help me to teach it.
Tx:6.11  all in need of bodily protection. I am sorry when my brothers do not  share my decision to hear only one voice, because it weakens them as
Tx:6.14  not asked to repeat my experiences, because the Holy Spirit, Whom we  share, makes this unnecessary. To use my experiences constructively,
Tx:6.16  to any other, you will have learned of me and will be as eager to  share your learning as I am. The crucifixion cannot be shared,
Tx:6.44  you win back the knowledge that you threw away. An idea which you  share, you must have. It awakens in you through the conviction of
Tx:6.61  lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are life. If we  share the same mind, you can overcome death because I did. Death is
Tx:6.71 What you must understand is that when you do not  share a thought system, you are weakening it. Those who believe in it
Tx:6.82  must be. Yet His evaluation does not extend beyond you, or you would  share it. In your mind, and your mind only, He sorts out the true
Tx:7.1  God, as He does with you. This is an ongoing process in which you  share, and because you share it, you are inspired to create like God.
Tx:7.1  you. This is an ongoing process in which you share, and because you  share it, you are inspired to create like God. Yet in creation you
Tx:7.6 To think like God is to  share His certainty of what you are and to create like Him is to
Tx:7.6  to share His certainty of what you are and to create like Him is to  share the perfect love He shares with you. To this the Holy Spirit
Tx:7.8  hidden. His light was never obscured, because it is His Will to  share it. How can what is fully shared be withheld and then revealed?
Tx:7.9  resembles the Thought of God, and because of the elements which they  share, can transfer to it. When a brother perceives himself as sick,
Tx:7.18  This meaning comes from God and is God. Because it is also you, you  share it and extend it as your Creator did. This needs no
Tx:7.30  This holds them in perfect serenity, because this is what they  share, knowing what they are.
Tx:7.42  Healing perceives nothing in the healer that everyone else does not  share with him. Magic always sees something “special” in the healer
Tx:7.51  and enlighten them, as I can enlighten yours. I do not want to  share my body in communion, because that is to share nothing. [Would
Tx:7.51  I do not want to share my body in communion, because that is to  share nothing. [Would I try to share an illusion with the most holy
Tx:7.51  body in communion, because that is to share nothing. [Would I try to  share an illusion with the most holy children of a most holy Father?]
Tx:7.51  with the most holy children of a most holy Father?] Yet I do want to  share my mind with you, because we are of One Mind and that Mind is
Tx:7.52  Come therefore unto me and learn of the truth in you. The mind we  share is shared by all our brothers, and as we see them truly, they
Tx:7.63  While you believe that two totally contradictory thought systems  share truth, your need for vigilance is apparent. Your minds are
Tx:7.77  therefore of your abundance and teach your brothers theirs. Do not  share their delusions of scarcity, or you will perceive yourself as
Tx:7.93 The Soul yearns to  share its being as its Creator did. Created by sharing, its will is
Tx:7.100  has nothing to do with your willingness at all. Truth is God's Will.  Share His Will, and you share what He knows. Deny His Will as yours,
Tx:7.100  willingness at all. Truth is God's Will. Share His Will, and you  share what He knows. Deny His Will as yours, and you are denying His
Tx:8.4  giving up by attacking them. How can you have what you give up? You  share to have, but you do not give it up yourself. When you give up
Tx:8.17  it with His power and glory and establishing them as yours. You  share them as God shares them, because this is the natural outcome of
Tx:8.33  whom He created. This is our gift of gratitude to Him, which He will  share with all His creations, to whom He gives equally whatever is
Tx:8.39  Our success in transcending the ego is guaranteed by God, and I can  share [my perfect confidence in His promise, because I know He gave
Tx:8.41  transcend the ego. My will will never be wanting, and if you want to  share it you will. I give it willingly and gladly, because I need you
Tx:8.50  as valuable. Given this belief, you cannot understand anything. I  share with God the knowledge of the value He puts upon you. My
Tx:8.87  Son is one, and you are enjoined to do the works of love, because we  share this oneness. Our minds are whole because they are one. If you
Tx:8.118  deny you nothing because you have denied Him nothing, and so you can  share everything. This is the way, and the only way, to have His
Tx:9.11  the ability to attack, which you did make, into the ability to  share, He translates what you have made into what God created. If you
Tx:9.25  unhealed healer does not know how to give and consequently cannot  share. He cannot correct because he is not working correctively. He
Tx:9.82  only the eternal. If God has but one Son, there is but one God. You  share reality with Him, because reality is not divided. To accept
Tx:9.91  sick brother by weakening his belief in sickness, which he does not  share. The power of one mind can shine into another, because all the
Tx:9.97  creation is sharing, it cannot create what is unlike itself. It can  share only what it is. Depression is isolation, and so it could not
Tx:9.102  not insane. When you denied Him, you were insane. Would you have Him  share your insanity? God will never cease to love His Son, and His
Tx:10.5  on which God will help you build again the thought system which you  share with Him. Not one stone you place upon it but will be blessed
Tx:10.10  only this can bring you the joy which is His and which He wills to  share with you. Your love is as boundless as His because it is His.
Tx:10.15  He holds, so that nothing He gives can contradict Him. You who  share His Life must share it to know it, for sharing is knowing.
Tx:10.15  nothing He gives can contradict Him. You who share His Life must  share it to know it, for sharing is knowing. Blessed are you who
Tx:10.33 The peace of your Soul lies in its limitlessness. Limit the peace you  share, and your own Soul must be unknown to you. Every altar to God
Tx:10.38  of God, whose radiance is of his Father and whose glory he wills to  share as his Father shares it with him. There is no condemnation in
Tx:10.38  in the Father. Sharing the perfect love of the Father, the Son must  share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he will not know the Father
Tx:10.44  is between the ego's idle wishes and the Will of God, which you  share. Can this be a real conflict?
Tx:10.45  on God, Whose function He shares with you. By His Willingness to  share it, He became as dependent on you as you are on Him. Do not
Tx:10.66  and the awareness of Christ comes with the awakening of others to  share your redemption.
Tx:10.81  take nothing in return. For what is yours is everything, and you  share it with God. This is its reality. Would the Holy Spirit, Who
Tx:10.83  I know that it is in you. God's Sons have nothing which they do not  share. Ask for truth of any Son of God, and you have asked it of me.
Tx:10.86  is yours, and you will not accept your healing without his. For you  share the real world as you share Heaven, and his healing is yours.
Tx:10.86  accept your healing without his. For you share the real world as you  share Heaven, and his healing is yours. To love yourself is to heal
Tx:11.24  how perfectly your lesson would be learned if you were unwilling to  share their poverty. For poverty is lack, and there is but one lack
Tx:11.54  loves you, He will gladly teach you what He loves, for He wills to  share it. Remembering you always, He cannot let you forget your
Tx:11.57  who sleeps. In His sight the Son of God is perfect, and He longs to  share His vision with you. He will show you the real world because
Tx:11.58  sight of you. He looks quietly on the real world, which He would  share with you because He knows of the Father's love for Him. And
Tx:11.59  perception and knowledge have become so similar that they  share the unification of the laws of God.
Tx:11.64  becomes manifest through you. Do the Holy Spirit's work, for you  share in His function. As your function in Heaven is creation, so
Tx:11.73  the Holy Spirit, it will be right, for judgment is His function. You  share His function only by judging as He does, reserving no judgment
Tx:11.83  unreal world is a thing of despair, for it can never be. And you who  share God's Being with Him could never be content without reality.
Tx:12.31  the means of salvation which you must learn to accept if you would  share His goal of salvation for you.
Tx:12.40  to yourself, perceiving them as witnesses to your reality, which you  share with God. I am with them as I am with you, and we will draw
Tx:12.49  them, you are releasing him. And since his past is yours, you  share in this release. Let no dark cloud out of your past obscure him
Tx:12.64  Christ will always offer you the Will of God in recognition that you  share it with Him.
Tx:13.4  and God has given Him to you because He has no Thoughts He does not  share. His message speaks of timelessness in time, and that is why
Tx:13.10  is unwitnessed. God knows it, but you do not, and so you do not  share His witness to it. Nor do you witness unto Him, for reality is
Tx:13.22  union with a brother in which you seek to lay your guilt upon him or  share it with him or perceive his own, you will feel guilty. Nor will
Tx:13.42  peace in which the sweet and constant communication which God would  share with you is known. Yet His channels of reaching out cannot be
Tx:13.81  And so He gives you what is yours because your Father would have you  share it with Him. In everything be led by Him and do not reconsider.
Tx:14.5  have all of it transformed into a radiant message of God's Love, to  share with all the lonely ones who denied Him with you? God makes
Tx:14.6  part to play in the Atonement, but the message given to each to  share is always the same—God's Son is guiltless. Each one teaches
Tx:14.6  Who knows is with you. His gentleness is yours, and all the love you  share with God He holds in trust for you. He would teach you nothing
Tx:14.7  God has blessed? There is nothing in the Mind of God that does not  share His shining innocence. Creation is the natural extension of
Tx:14.17  from love's beneficence. What is kept apart from love cannot  share its healing power, because it has been separated off and kept
Tx:14.30  to His. Joining with Him in seeing is the way in which you learn to  share with Him the interpretation of perception that leads to
Tx:14.32  faithful, for He shared with God the promise that was given Him to  share with you.
Tx:14.43  knows not where to look to find it. Let him, then, see it in you and  share it with you.
Tx:14.51  That is the reason why the miracle gives equal blessing to all who  share in it, and that is also why everyone shares in it. The power of
Tx:14.63  of fear of any kind, and if all those who meet or even think of you  share in your perfect peace, then you can be sure that you have
Tx:15.14  as it takes to remember immortality and your immortal creations who  share it with you. As long as it takes to exchange hell for Heaven.
Tx:15.41  is. You believe that it is possible to harbor thoughts you would not  share and that salvation lies in keeping your thoughts to yourself
Tx:15.41  you think you find a way to keep what you would have alone and  share what you would share. And then you wonder why it is that you
Tx:15.41  a way to keep what you would have alone and share what you would  share. And then you wonder why it is that you are not in full
Tx:15.42  it to you is not enough to make it yours, for you are not ready to  share it with Him. And it cannot come into a mind that has decided to
Tx:15.57  you, or it would be a limited gift to you. In the holy instant, we  share our faith in God's Son because we recognize together that he is
Tx:15.62  you will recognize the only need the aspects of the Son of God  share equally, and by this recognition you will join with me in
Tx:15.80  conceive of need so great. Behold the only need that God and His Son  share and will to meet together. You are not alone in this. The will
Tx:15.80  are not alone in this. The will of your creations calls to you to  share your will with them. Turn, then, in peace from guilt to God and
Tx:15.83  does not understand your problem in communication, for He does not  share it with you. It is only you who believe that it is
Tx:15.87  body and to accept the fact that the ego has no purpose you would  share with it. For the ego would limit everyone to a body for its
Tx:16.3  is from the past. And there is nothing from the past that you would  share, for there is nothing there that you would keep. Do not use
Tx:16.6  to Him, for it is His perception and His strength that you would  share. And let Him offer you His strength and His perception to be
Tx:16.8  function and not yours. He will not meet them secretly, for He would  share everything you give through Him. And that is why He gives it.
Tx:16.13  another mind and joined with it. When two minds join as one and  share one idea equally, the first link in the awareness of the
Tx:16.18  determine not to deny what has been given you by God[. Awake and  share it], for that is the only reason He has called to you. His
Tx:16.33  aspect of living and use them for any purpose which they would not  share with others, are trying to live with guilt rather than die of
Tx:16.69  and there let Him release you. He needs only your willingness to  share His perspective to give it to you completely. And your
Tx:16.69  for your unwillingness by His perfect faith, and it is His faith you  share with Him there. Out of your recognition of your unwillingness
Tx:17.27  with you to make you happy, and nothing you do which does not  share His purpose can be real. The purpose God ascribed to anything
Tx:17.55  which makes Heaven glad. If Heaven were outside you, you could not  share in its gladness. Yet because it is within, the gladness, too,
Tx:17.56  will surely fall in place because the goal is sure. And you will  share the gladness of the Sonship that it is so. As you begin to
Tx:17.72  to your own relationship. Your faith will call the others to  share your purpose, as this same purpose called forth the faith in
Tx:18.9  at your request, He has set the course inward to the truth you  share. In the mad world outside you, nothing can be shared but only
Tx:18.10  and accept His gift as our most holy and perfect reality, which we  share in Him.
Tx:18.21  holy relationship. It will be a happy dream, and one which you will  share with all who come within your sight. Through it, the blessing
Tx:18.48 I desire this holy instant for myself that I may  share it with my brother, whom I love. It is not possible that I can
Tx:18.48  without him, or he without me. Yet it is wholly possible for us to  share it now. And so I choose this instant as the one to offer to the
Tx:19.2  Thus do you see him free, and in this vision does the Holy Spirit  share. And since He shares it, He has given it, and so He heals
Tx:19.10  you have accepted the Atonement for yourself and would therefore  share it. By faith you offer the gift of freedom from the past, which
Tx:19.12  faith arises from the Holy Spirit's perception and is the sign you  share it with Him. Faith is a gift you offer to the Son of God
Tx:19.28  Spirit clearly sees the Son of God can make mistakes. On this you  share His vision. Yet you do not share His recognition of the
Tx:19.28  God can make mistakes. On this you share His vision. Yet you do not  share His recognition of the difference between time and eternity.
Tx:19.43  from each other nor apart from the one you asked the Holy Spirit to  share with you. The little wall will fall away so quietly beneath the
Tx:19.53  And they will return with all the happy things they found, to  share them lovingly with you. Be not afraid of them. They offer you
Tx:19.71  whatever fear directs the body to do is therefore painful. It will  share the pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure will be
Tx:19.100  madness with pity and compassion but not with fear. For only if they  share in it does it seem fearful, and you do share in it until you
Tx:19.100  fear. For only if they share in it does it seem fearful, and you do  share in it until you look upon each other with perfect faith and
Tx:19.101  is your salvation. You see his madness, which you hate because you  share it. And all the pity and forgiveness that would heal it gives
Tx:19.101  to fear. Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you will  share in madness or in Heaven together. And you will raise your eyes
Tx:19.103  to hide His loveliness. Yet still He holds forgiveness out to you to  share His holiness. This “enemy,” this “stranger” still offers you
Tx:19.104  and thus receive it. Whom you forgive is free, and what you give you  share. Forgive the sins your brother thinks he has committed and all
Tx:19.106  the time of resurrection. Let us give redemption to each other and  share in it that we may rise as one in resurrection and not separate
Tx:20.9  sight. Those who accept the Holy Spirit's purpose as their own  share also His vision. And what enables Him to see His purpose shine
Tx:20.10  while you see them not. Nor can you use what I have given unless you  share it. The Holy Spirit's vision is no idle gift, no plaything to
Tx:20.12  illusions—only a pathway to the open door of Heaven, the home we  share in quietness, and where we live in gentleness and peace as one
Tx:20.27  Share, then, this faith with me and know that it is justified. There
Tx:20.30  in the freedom that you see in him, you see your own. For this you  share. What God has given follows His laws and His alone. Nor is it
Tx:20.31  power is of God, and they will give it only to what God has given to  share with them. Nothing but this can touch them, for they see only
Tx:20.31  with little wings have not accepted for themselves the power to  share with you.
Tx:20.32  See, then, the power of sinlessness within your brother and  share with him the power of the release from sin you offered him. To
Tx:20.44  in safety and in peace. Let us consider now what he must learn, to  share his Father's confidence in him. What is he, that the Creator of
Tx:20.46  simple and so obvious it cannot be misunderstood. But idols do not  share.
Tx:21.46  ego's madness and not been made afraid because you did not choose to  share in it. At times it still deceives you. Yet in your saner
Tx:22.28 All you need do to dwell in quiet here with Christ is  share His vision. Quickly and gladly is His vision given to anyone
Tx:22.30  continuance depends on its belief you cannot learn this course.  Share this belief, and reason will be unable to see your errors and
Tx:22.42  it received. Into your joined hands is it safely given, for you who  share it have become its willing guardians and protectors.
Tx:22.43 To all who  share the love of God, the grace is given to be the givers of what
Tx:22.44  wall. And only an illusion stands between you and the holy Self you  share.
Tx:23.3  head held high, and fear no evil. The innocent are safe because they  share their innocence. Nothing they see is harmful, for their
Tx:23.3  released from sin and fear, and happily returned to love. They  share the strength of love because they looked on innocence. And
Tx:23.9  your self-appraisal. The ego joins with an illusion of yourself you  share with it. And yet illusions cannot join. They are the same, and
Tx:23.18  seeks to dominate. Peace is the state where love abides and seeks to  share itself. Conflict and peace are opposites. Where one abides the
Tx:23.27  enemies do not give willingly to one another, nor would they seek to  share the things they value. And what your enemies would keep from
Tx:23.49 God does not  share His function with a body. He gave the function to create unto
Tx:23.53  you must be one with them. Only a purpose unifies, and those who  share a purpose have a mind as one. The body has no purpose and must
Tx:23.54 Think what is given those who  share their Father's purpose and who know that it is theirs! They
Tx:24.8  specialness; his friend in a shared purpose. Specialness can never  share, for it depends on goals that you alone can reach. And he must
Tx:24.8  both Himself, and to remember this is now the only purpose that you  share. And so it is the only one you have.
Tx:24.10  hate or wish to separate arises here. For here the purpose which you  share becomes obscured from both of you. You would oppose this course
Tx:24.10  have no purpose that is not the same and none your Father does not  share with you. For your relationship has been made clean of special
Tx:24.13  his strong support? Who can detract from his omnipotence yet  share his power? And who can use him as the gauge of littleness and
Tx:24.22  God gave Himself to both of you in equal love that both might  share the universe with Him Who chose that love could never be
Tx:24.46  He rejoices that these sights are yours to look upon with Him and  share His joy. His perfect lack of specialness He offers you that you
Tx:24.51  thought within His Mind is absent from your own. It is His Will you  share His love for you and look upon yourself as lovingly as He
Tx:24.62  in place of your creations, who are son to you, that you might  share the Fatherhood of God, not snatch it from Him. What is this son
Tx:25.20  Son as He does? Would He not make known to you His love if you but  share His praise of what He loves? God cherishes creation as the
Tx:25.20  joy is made complete when any part of Him joins in His praise, to  share His joy. This brother is His perfect gift to you. And He is
Tx:25.22  power of salvation that escape from darkness into light be yours to  share; that you may see as one what never has been separate nor apart
Tx:25.40  this of you—that you return to him what is his due that you may  share in it with him. Alone does neither have it. So must it remain
Tx:25.50  Nor will it change. Yet is it possible what God created not should  share the attributes of His creation when it opposes it in every way?
Tx:25.51  cannot be changed? What is immutable besides His Will? And what can  share Its attributes except Itself? What wish can rise against His
Tx:25.62  the Will of God to be fulfilled. Salvation is His Will because you  share it. Not for you alone but for the Self which is the Son of God.
Tx:25.67  the other and denies that it is real. It is impossible for you to  share the Holy Spirit's justice with a mind that can conceive of
Tx:27.44  Who can bestow upon another what he does not have? And who can  share what he denies himself? The Holy Spirit speaks to you. He does
Tx:27.54  is the same. This is the law of purpose, which unites all those who  share in it within itself. Pleasure and pain are equally unreal,
Tx:27.54  means for nothing, for they have a goal without a meaning. And they  share the lack of meaning which their purpose has.
Tx:27.78  it can call its own. It looks about for special bodies which can  share its dream. Sometimes it dreams it is a conqueror of bodies
Tx:28.11  time, and from the mind it healed in quiet then, to other minds to  share its quietness. And they will join in doing nothing to prevent
Tx:28.36  the more that anyone receives, the more is left for all the rest to  share. The Guests have brought unlimited supply with Them. And no one
Tx:28.37  to someone's dream of sickness and of death. It means that you  share not his wish to separate and let him turn illusions on himself.
Tx:28.37  You could be anyone or anything, depending on whose evil dream you  share. You can be sure of just one thing—that you are evil, for you
Tx:28.37  You can be sure of just one thing—that you are evil, for you  share in dreams of fear.
Tx:28.39 Like you, your brother thinks he is a dream.  Share not in his illusion of himself, for your identity depends on
Tx:28.42 You  share confusion and you are confused, for in the gap no stable self
Tx:28.44  And when he sees this picture, he will recognize himself. If you  share not your brother's evil dream, this is the picture that the
Tx:28.47  God is the alternate to dreams of fear. Who shares in them can never  share in Him. But who withdraws his mind from sharing them is sharing
Tx:28.47  sharing them is sharing Him. There is no other choice. Except you  share it, nothing can exist. And you exist because God shared His
Tx:28.48  alternatives. Where one appears, the other disappears. And which you  share becomes the only one you have. You have the one which you
Tx:28.48  which you accept, because it is the only one you [want] to have. You  share no evil dreams if you forgive the dreamer and perceive that he
Tx:28.49 Remember if you  share an evil dream, you will believe you are the dream you share.
Tx:28.49  if you share an evil dream, you will believe you are the dream you  share. And fearing it, you will not want to know your own Identity
Tx:28.59  he was born. Yet God reminds him of it every time he does not  share a promise to be sick but lets his mind be healed and unified.
Tx:29.36  have forgiven him for all his dreams of death—a dream of hope you  share with him instead of dreaming evil separate dreams of hate. Why
Tx:29.36  dreaming evil separate dreams of hate. Why does it seem so hard to  share this dream? Because unless the Holy Spirit gives the dream its

Tx:9.75  because it is your salvation. What Comforter can there be for the  sick Children of God except His power through you? Remember that it
Tx:9.76  it is the awareness that no one is separate, and so no one is  sick. To believe that a Son of God can be sick is to believe that
Tx:9.76  separate, and so no one is sick. To believe that a Son of God can be  sick is to believe that part of God can suffer. Love cannot suffer,

Tx:9.78 A  sick god must be an idol, made in the image of what its maker thinks

Tx:31.63  dust? Salvation is undoing of all this. And constancy arises in the  sight of those whose eyes salvation has released from looking at the

W2:266.2  He has filled the world with those who point to Him and given us the  sight to look on them?
W2:268.2 Let not our  sight be blasphemous today nor let our ears attend to lying tongues.
W2:269.1 I ask Your blessing on my  sight today. It is the means which You have chosen to become the way
W2:269.2 Today our  sight is blessed indeed. We share one vision as we look upon the face
W2:270.1  it has power to translate all that the body's eyes behold into the  sight of a forgiven world. How glorious and gracious is this world!
W2:270.1  gracious is this world! Yet how much more will I perceive in it than  sight can give. The world forgiven signifies Your Son acknowledges
W2:270.2  will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His  sight, we offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son whom
W2:271.1  seek the witnesses to what is true in God's creation. In Christ's  sight, the world and God's creation meet, and as they come together,

M:4.17 God's teachers have learned how to be  simple. They have no dreams that need defense against the truth. They

Tx:27.63  Without the clouds, the problem will emerge in all its primitive  simplicity. The choice will not be difficult, because the problem is

W1:90.2  which I let the grievance be replaced. Today I would remember the  simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one

Tx:I.3 This course can therefore be summed up very  simply in this way:

Tx:2.109 The Last Judgment might be called a process of right evaluation. It  simply means that finally all men will come to understand what is
Tx:3.27  means that you never misperceive and always see truly. More  simply, it means that you never see what does not really exist. When

Tx:8.95  things to the same mind. This loses the ability to communicate  simply because confused communication does not mean anything. A
Tx:8.98  inevitable, attempts to teach himself to like it. The truth is, very  simply, that no one wants either abandonment or retaliation. Many
Tx:9.14 Forgiveness through the Holy Spirit lies  simply in looking beyond error from the beginning and thus keeping it
Tx:9.32  in His giving. This is not because He limits His giving, but  simply because you have limited your receiving. The will to receive
Tx:9.35 You are not yet awake, but you can learn how to awaken. Very  simply the Holy Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them
Tx:9.44  with unwillingness to know and produces a total lack of knowledge  simply because knowledge is total. Not to question your littleness,

Tx:10.49  attacked truth, you are believing that attack has power. Very  simply, then, you have become afraid of yourself. And no one wills to
Tx:11.36  one proviso—do not find it. Its dictates, then, can be summed up  simply as, “Seek and do not find.” This is the one promise the ego

Tx:14.19 Death yields to life  simply because destruction is not true. The light of guiltlessness

Tx:15.53  substitutes His frame of reference for it. His frame of reference is  simply God. The Holy Spirit's timelessness lies only here. For in the
Tx:15.95  same idea, and one you do not want, they go together. The idea is  simply this—you believe that it is possible to be host to the ego
Tx:16.44 Very  simply, the attempt to make guilty is always directed against God.
Tx:16.57 The core of the separation delusion lies  simply in the fantasy of destruction of love's meaning. And unless

Tx:17.60 The value of deciding in advance what you want to happen is  simply that you will perceive the situation as a means to make it
Tx:17.74  not forced any exclusion on it. It is a situation of perfect peace  simply because you have let it be what it is.
Tx:18.24  hide from truth forever in complete insanity. What you forgot was  simply that God cannot destroy Himself. The light is in you. Darkness

Tx:20.32  within your brother and share with him the power of the release from  sin you offered him. To each who walks this earth in seeming solitude
Tx:20.33  And as this purpose is fulfilled, a new world rises in which  sin can enter not, and where the Son of God can enter without fear,
Tx:20.38 Each herald of eternity sings of the end of  sin and fear. Each speaks in time of what is far beyond it. Two
Tx:20.55 The body is the ego's idol; the belief in  sin made flesh and then projected outward. This produces what seems
Tx:20.59  of discomfort that follows the sudden change in a relationship from  sin to holiness should now be almost over. To the extent you still
Tx:20.61  For holiness is merely the result of letting the effects of  sin be lifted so what was always true is recognized. To see a sinless
Tx:20.62  The unholy instant is the time of bodies. But the purpose here is  sin. It cannot be attained but in illusion, and so the illusion of a
Tx:20.63  see him as sinful; he does not see him at all. In the darkness of  sin, he is invisible. He can but be imagined in the darkness, and it
Tx:20.63  in unholy relationships with other bodies, serving the cause of  sin an instant before he dies.
Tx:20.64  the goal is valued. And judgment has no value unless the goal is  sin.
Tx:20.65  How can a holy relationship achieve its purpose through the means of  sin? Judgment you taught yourself; vision is learned from Him Who
Tx:20.65  teaching. His vision cannot see the body because it cannot look on  sin. And thus it leads you to reality. Your holy brother, sight of
Tx:20.72  and suited perfectly to meet it. Destructiveness becomes benign, and  sin is turned to blessing under His gentle gaze. What can the body's
Tx:20.72  the body's eyes perceive, with power to correct? Its eyes adjust to  sin, unable to overlook it in any form and seeing it everywhere, in
Tx:20.73  up? What if you realized that those who seem to walk about in it, to  sin and die, attack and murder and destroy themselves, are wholly
Tx:20.75 Only two purposes are possible. And one is  sin, the other holiness. Nothing is in between, and which you choose
Tx:20.75  means by which the outside world, projected from within, adjusts to  sin and seems to witness to its reality. It still is true that
Tx:20.76  hallucinations that show you all the fearful outcomes of imagined  sin into the calm and reassuring sights with which He would replace
Tx:20.76  purpose brought to your horrified awareness. They step away from  sin, reminding you that it is not reality which frightens you and
Tx:21.14  vision, happiness, release from pain, and the complete escape from  sin, all to be given you. Say only this, but mean it with no
Tx:21.17  God created it, outside of which is nothing. Suffer, and you decided  sin was your goal. Be happy, and you gave the power of decision to
Tx:21.24  of reality to make it fit the goal of madness. The goal of  sin induces the perception of a fearful world to justify its purpose.
Tx:21.29 All special relationships have  sin as their goal. For they are bargains with reality, toward which
Tx:21.30  you have accepted the idea of making room for truth. The source of  sin is gone. You may imagine that you still experience its effects,
Tx:21.30  brings. The power of faith is never recognized if it is placed in  sin. But it is always recognized if it is placed in love.

Tx:21.31  from holiness. And what you offer holiness has been removed from  sin.
Tx:21.33  and belief you made as means for losing certainty and finding  sin. This mad direction was your choice, and by your faith in what
Tx:21.34 The Holy Spirit has a use for all the means for  sin by which you sought to find it. But as He uses them, they lead
Tx:21.34  you sought to find it. But as He uses them, they lead away from  sin because His purpose lies in the opposite direction. He sees the
Tx:21.34  perception that you might choose among your brothers and seek for  sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees perception as a means to teach
Tx:21.35  belief become attached to vision, as all the means that once served  sin are redirected now toward holiness. For what you think is sin is
Tx:21.35  served sin are redirected now toward holiness. For what you think is  sin is limitation, and whom you try to limit to the body you hate
Tx:21.35  forgive him, you would condemn him to the body because the means for  sin are dear to you. And so the body has your faith and your belief.
Tx:21.36  from the body can have no fear. They have renounced the means for  sin by choosing to let all limitations be removed. Desiring to look
Tx:21.36  are also born of faith. For all who choose to look away from  sin are given vision and are led to holiness.
Tx:21.37 Those who believe in  sin must think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how
Tx:21.37  For He Who loves the world is seeing it for you without one spot of  sin upon it and in the innocence which makes the sight of it as
Tx:21.38  in the mind, which tries to use the body to carry out the means for  sin in which the mind believes. Thus is the joining of mind and body
Tx:21.38  joining of mind and body an inescapable belief of those who value  sin. And so is sacrifice invariably a means for limitation and thus
Tx:21.40 The body was made to be a sacrifice to  sin, and in the darkness so it still is seen. Yet in the light of
Tx:21.41  no one fearful. You are indeed afraid to look within and see the  sin you think is there. This you would not be fearful to admit. Fear
Tx:21.41  This you would not be fearful to admit. Fear in association with  sin the ego deems quite appropriate and smiles approvingly. It has no
Tx:21.41  fear to let you feel ashamed. It doubts not your belief and faith in  sin. Its temples do not shake because of this. Your faith that sin is
Tx:21.41  in sin. Its temples do not shake because of this. Your faith that  sin is there but witnesses to your desire that it be there to see.
Tx:21.42  tells you not to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light on  sin, and God will strike you blind. This you believe, and so you do
Tx:21.42  is not certain it is so. Beneath your fear to look within because of  sin is yet another fear and one which makes the ego tremble.
Tx:21.43 What if you looked within and saw no  sin? This “fearful” question is one the ego never asks. And you who
Tx:21.43  which you join with what is part of you in truth. And your belief in  sin has been already shaken, nor are you now entirely unwilling to
Tx:21.44  you now identify is not afraid to look upon itself. It knows no  sin. How, otherwise, could it have been willing to see the Holy
Tx:21.48  and looks upon the ego unafraid. Little children, innocent of  sin, follow in gladness the way to certainty. Be not held back by
Tx:21.55  own right. It is not reinterpreted and redirected from the goal of  sin as are the others. For reason is beyond the ego's range of means.
Tx:21.57  and those who use it have gained a means which cannot be applied to  sin. Knowledge is far beyond attainment of any kind. But reason can
Tx:21.59 Reason cannot see  sin but can see errors and leads to their correction. It does not
Tx:21.59  but their correction. Reason will also tell you when you think you  sin, you call for help. Yet if you will not accept the help you call
Tx:21.60 Correction cannot be accepted or refused by you without your brother.  Sin would maintain it can. Yet reason tells you that you cannot see
Tx:21.60  And who can see a sinful world and look upon himself apart from it?  Sin would maintain you must be separate. But reason tells you that
Tx:21.64 If you choose  sin instead of healing, you would condemn the Son of God to what can
Tx:21.70  strange belief that you are powerless? Being helpless is the cost of  sin. Helplessness is sin's condition—the one requirement that it
Tx:21.74 Yet hate must have a target. There can be no faith in  sin without an enemy. Who that believes in sin would dare believe he
Tx:21.74  There can be no faith in sin without an enemy. Who that believes in  sin would dare believe he has no enemy? Could he admit that no one
Tx:21.74  he cannot understand, he will but emphasize his helplessness and let  sin tell him that his enemy must be himself. But let him only ask
Tx:21.75  helpless? Do I desire a world in which I have no enemies and cannot  sin? And do I want to see what I denied because it is the truth?
Tx:21.76  Here, then, would seem to be the last remaining hope of finding  sin and not accepting power.
Tx:21.77 Forget not that the choice of truth or  sin, power or helplessness, is the choice of whether to attack or
Tx:21.78  And then it will be clear to you that, as you look on the effects of  sin in any form, all you need do is simply ask yourself,
Tx:21.81  for power, and lose this same desire as a little glint of  sin attracts you. And you can want to see a sinless world and let an
Tx:21.82  same. For each one asks if you are willing to exchange the world of  sin for what the Holy Spirit sees, since it is this the world of sin
Tx:21.82  of sin for what the Holy Spirit sees, since it is this the world of  sin denies. And therefore those who look on sin are seeing the denial
Tx:21.82  it is this the world of sin denies. And therefore those who look on  sin are seeing the denial of the real world. Yet the last question
Tx:22.1  whom God hath joined have come together and need no longer look on  sin apart. No two can look on sin together, for they could never see
Tx:22.1  together and need no longer look on sin apart. No two can look on  sin together, for they could never see it in the same place and time.
Tx:22.1  together, for they could never see it in the same place and time.  Sin is a strictly individual perception, seen in the other yet
Tx:22.2  what you both believed and saw. And with their going is the need for  sin gone with them. Who has need for sin? Only the lonely and alone
Tx:22.2  their going is the need for sin gone with them. Who has need for  sin? Only the lonely and alone who see their brothers different from
Tx:22.2  It is this difference, seen but not real, that makes the need for  sin, not real but seen, seem justified. And all this would be real if
Tx:22.2  not real but seen, seem justified. And all this would be real if  sin were so. For an unholy relationship is based on differences,
Tx:22.8  would tell you that this is no secret that need be hidden as a  sin. But a mistake indeed! Let not your fear of sin protect it from
Tx:22.8  need be hidden as a sin. But a mistake indeed! Let not your fear of  sin protect it from correction, for the attraction of guilt is only
Tx:22.19  of belief. It cannot compromise. And faith in innocence is faith in  sin if the belief excludes one living thing and holds it out apart
Tx:22.20  means by which escape from guilt can be attained, then the belief in  sin must be eternal. Yet reason looks on this another way, for reason
Tx:22.28  willingness if you would be released entirely from all effects of  sin. Would you have partial forgiveness for yourself? Can you reach
Tx:22.28  forgiveness for yourself? Can you reach Heaven while a single  sin still tempts you to remain in misery? Heaven is the home of
Tx:22.30  you thought was real is not. Reason can see the difference between  sin and mistakes because it wants correction. Therefore, it tells you
Tx:22.30  The ego's opposition to correction leads to its fixed belief in  sin and disregard of errors. It looks on nothing that can be
Tx:22.31  brings you to a state of mind in which salvation can be given you.  Sin is a block, set like a heavy gate, locked and without a key,
Tx:22.32  give. And yet mistakes, regardless of their form, can be corrected.  Sin is but error in a special form the ego venerates. It would

Tx:25.53  Son are not insane. This world is meaningless because it rests on  sin. Who could create the changeless if it does not rest on truth?
Tx:25.55  is worthy of your faith. But nothing else. What is not love is  sin, and either one perceives the other as insane and meaningless.
Tx:25.55  wholly mad to sinners who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But  sin is equally insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes
Tx:25.58  he really wants. From this position does his sinfulness and all the  sin he sees within the world offer him less and less— until he
Tx:25.61  is satisfied, for all insane beliefs can be corrected here. And  sin must be impossible if this is true. This is the rock on which

Tx:25.66  takes. Justice demands no sacrifice, for any sacrifice is made that  sin may be preserved and kept. It is a payment offered for the cost
Tx:25.66  may be preserved and kept. It is a payment offered for the cost of  sin, but not the total cost. The rest is taken from another, to be

Tx:25.69 So do they think the loss of  sin a curse. And flee [the blessing of] the Holy Spirit as if He were
Tx:25.72  right hand and give the Son of God the power to forgive himself of  sin.
Tx:25.74 As specialness cares not who pays the cost of  sin, so it be paid, the Holy Spirit heeds not who looks on innocence
Tx:25.75  God's Son has found a witness unto his sinlessness and not his  sin. How little need you give the Holy Spirit that simple justice may

Tx:26.25  that opens into Heaven. No one forgives unless he has believed in  sin and still believes that he has much to be forgiven. Forgiveness
Tx:26.26 Forgiveness turns the world of  sin into a world of glory, wonderful to see. Each flower shines in
Tx:26.26  nothing stands between to push the other off. And in the space which  sin left vacant do they join as one, in gladness recognizing what is
Tx:26.27 The holy place on which you stand is but the space that  sin has left. And here you see the face of Christ arising in its
Tx:26.27  as He really is? Who could fear love and stand upon the ground where  sin has left a place for Heaven's altar to rise and tower far above
Tx:26.27  the Source of its creation? The holiest of altars is set where once  sin was believed to be. And here does every light of heaven come to
Tx:26.29 Where  sin once was perceived will rise a world which will become an altar
Tx:26.29  the singing at the altar which was raised within the tiny spot that  sin proclaimed to be its own. And what was tiny then has soared into

Tx:26.38  time of terror that has been so long ago corrected and undone. Can  sin withstand the Will of God? Can it be up to you to see the past
Tx:26.44  reality has entered all the world of sick illusions. All belief in  sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and death has
Tx:26.47  brought it has been healed and been replaced by sanity. Sickness and  sin are seen as consequence and cause in a relationship kept hidden
Tx:26.48 —not in truth but in the world of shadows and illusions built on  sin. The Son of God perceives what he would see, because perception
Tx:26.50 God's answer lies where the belief in  sin must be, for only there can its effects be utterly undone and
Tx:26.52  Sin is not error, for it goes beyond correction to impossibility. Yet

Tx:26.53  bring the joy this world denies to every aspect of God's Son where  sin was thought to rule. Perhaps you do not see the role forgiveness
Tx:26.56  from a Unity Which holds all things within Itself? There is no  sin. And every miracle is possible the instant that the Son of God

Tx:27.15 To witness  sin and yet forgive it is a paradox which reason cannot see. For it

W1:151.16  the gift of snow-white lilies on the world, replacing witnesses to  sin and death. Through your transfiguration is the world redeemed and
W1:153.13  by your Father, left alone in terror in a fearful world made mad by  sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over. Now a quiet time has
W1:153.13  away the toys of guilt and lock our quaint and childish thoughts of  sin forever from the pure and holy minds of Heaven's children and the
W1:154.4  of laws the world does not obey, which promises salvation from all  sin, with guilt abolished in the mind that God created sinless. Now
W1:156.1 Today's idea but states the simple truth that makes the thought of  sin impossible. It promises there is no cause for guilt, and being
W1:156.6  steps forward and encompasses the world. It heralds not the end of  sin in punishment and death. In lightness and in laughter is it gone,
W1:158.7  pitiful mistakes, and fearful thoughts of guilt from dreams of  sin. It sees no separation. And it looks on everyone, on every
W1:158.10  you remember in your brother you but see yourself. If he be lost in  sin, so must you be; if you see light in him, your sins have been

W1:159.7  made new again but in a different light. What was to be the home of  sin becomes the center of redemption and the hearth of mercy where
W1:162.2  it is. There is no dream these words will not dispel, no thought of  sin, and no illusion that the dream contains that will not fade away
W1:162.5  acceptance is salvation brought to everyone, for who could cherish  sin when holiness like this has blessed the world? Who could despair
W1:162.5  grief and misery, all sense of loss, and for complete escape from  sin and guilt?
W1:163.2 Embodiment of fear, the host of  sin, god of the guilty, and the lord of all illusions and deceptions,
W1:164.4  have not lost. There is a sense of holiness in you the thought of  sin has never touched. All this today you will remember. Faithfulness
W1:181.8  we seek but for surcease an instant from the misery the focus upon  sin will bring and, uncorrected, will remain.
W1:181.10  look upon attests to our remembrance of the holy Self Which knows no  sin and never could conceive of anything without Its sinlessness. We
W1:183.5  upon the Name of God cannot mistake the nameless for the Name, nor  sin for grace, nor bodies for the holy Son of God.
W1:186.6  as is the image of yourself. You are not ignorant and helpless.  Sin cannot tarnish the truth in you, and misery can come not near the
W1:188.9  as we would have it. Now we choose that it be innocent, devoid of  sin, and open to salvation. And we lay our saving blessing on it as
W1:190.11  are free to choose our joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of  sin, the peace of God instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven
W1:191.3  legions of your enemies. Deny your own Identity and look on evil,  sin, and death. And watch despair snatch from your fingers every
W1:193.3 God offers no forgiveness, for He knows no  sin is possible. And yet He let His holy law of Love be given form in
W1:193.9  is revered no more. These are the words which end the dream of  sin and rid the mind of fear. These are the words by which salvation

W1:194.8  call the memory of Him to come again, replacing all your thoughts of  sin and evil with the truth of love. Think you the world could fail
W1:203.1  The Name of God is my deliverance from every thought of evil and of  sin, because it is my own as well as His. I am not a body. I am free.
W2:WF.1  It does not pardon sins and make them real. It sees there was no  sin. And in this view are all your sins forgiven. What is sin except
W2:WF.1  was no sin. And in this view are all your sins forgiven. What is  sin except a false idea about God's Son? Forgiveness merely sees its
W2:227.2  his dreams. The Son of God this day comes home again, released from  sin and clad in holiness, with his right mind restored to him at last.
W2:229.2  Identity untouched and sinless in the midst of all the thoughts of  sin my foolish mind made up. And thanks to You for saving me from
W2:234.1 Today we will anticipate the time when dreams of  sin and guilt are gone and we have reached again the holy peace we

W2:WIS.1  Sin is insanity. It is the means by which the mind is driven mad and
W2:WIS.1  it sees illusions where the truth should be and where it really is.  Sin gave the body eyes, for what is there the sinless would behold?
W2:WIS.3  Sin is the home of all illusions, which but stand for things
W2:WIS.3  are untrue. They are the “proof” that what has no reality is real.  Sin “proves” God's Son is evil; timelessness must have an end;

W2:WIS.5 How long, oh Son of God, will you maintain the game of  sin? Shall we not put away these sharp-edged children's toys? How
W2:WIS.5  How soon will you be ready to come home? Perhaps today? There is no  sin. Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold return to Heaven
W2:256.1 The way to God is through forgiveness here. There is no other way. If  sin had not been cherished by the mind, what need would there have
W2:256.1  we can but dream. But we can dream we have forgiven him in whom all  sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream today. God
W2:259.1  Sin is the only thought that makes the goal of God seem unobtainable.
W2:259.1  make the strange and the distorted seem more clear? What else but  sin engenders our attacks? What else but sin could be the source of
W2:259.1  more clear? What else but sin engenders our attacks? What else but  sin could be the source of guilt, demanding punishment and suffering?
W2:260.2  Identity at last. Holy indeed are we because our Source can know no  sin. And we who are His Sons are like each other and alike to Him.
W2:WIC.2  yet does He remain the Self Who, like His Father, knows no  sin.
W2:289.2  in a present world the past has left untouched and free of  sin. Here is the end of guilt. And here am I made ready for Your
W2:WIRW.4 The real world is the symbol that the dream of  sin and guilt is over and God's Son no longer sleeps. His waking eyes
W2:299.2 Father, my holiness is not of me. It is not mine to be destroyed by  sin. It is not mine to suffer from attack. Illusions can obscure it
W2:304.2 You lead me from the darkness to the light, from  sin to holiness. Let me forgive and thus receive salvation for the
W2:309.2  step I take today, my Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of  sin. Your altar stands serene and undefiled. It is the holy altar to
W2:WILJ.2  no condemnation. For it sees the world as totally forgiven, without  sin and wholly purposeless. Without a cause and now without a
W2:313.1  forgiven. In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for He sees no  sin in anything He looks upon. Now let His true perception come to me
W2:330.1  Will of God united with its own. The Self which God created cannot  sin and therefore cannot suffer. Let us choose today that He be our
W2:WIE.3  he lives in eternal joy? What can he know of fear and punishment, of  sin and guilt, of hatred and attack when all there is surrounding him
W2:336.2 In quiet may forgiveness wipe away my dreams of separation and of  sin. Then let me, Father, look within and find Your promise of my
W2:344.2  to God. How near is He to us. How close the ending of the dream of  sin and the redemption of the Son of God.
W2:WAI.4  which Christ's vision sees a world redeemed from every thought of  sin. Ours are the ears that hear the Voice of God proclaim the world
W2:356.1  Love, and thus it answers him. Your Name replaces every thought of  sin, and who is sinless cannot suffer pain. Your Name gives answer to
W2:359.1  learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us.  Sin is impossible, and on this fact forgiveness rests upon a certain
W2:FL.1  our lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the belief in  sin, which made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and
M:I.5  teachers, there would be no hope of salvation, for the world of  sin would seem forever “real.” The self-deceiving must deceive, for
M:10.2  judgment there is, and it is only one: “God's Son is guiltless, and  sin does not exist.”
M:12.5 —that what you use the body for, it will become to you. Use it for  sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you will see it as
M:12.5  become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as  sin, and you will see it as sinful. Because it is sinful, it is weak,
M:14.1  in gentleness, will cover it, hiding all evil, concealing all  sin, and ending guilt forever. So ends the world that guilt had made,
M:14.2  is it nourished, for here it is needed. A gentle Savior, born where  sin was made and guilt seemed real. Here is His home, for here there
M:14.2  with the benediction of holiness upon it. When not one thought of  sin remains, the world is over. It will not be destroyed nor attacked
M:14.3  this seems to be a long, long while away. “When not one thought of  sin remains” appears to be a long-range goal indeed. But time stands
M:14.3  still and waits on the goals of God's teachers. Not one thought of  sin will remain the instant any one of them accepts the Atonement for
M:14.3  accepts the Atonement for himself. It is not easier to forgive one  sin than to forgive all of them. The illusion of orders of difficulty
M:14.3  the teacher of God must learn to pass by and leave behind. One  sin perfectly forgiven by one teacher of God can make salvation
M:17.1  God's teacher can be sure that he is strengthening his own belief in  sin and has condemned himself. He can be sure as well that he has
M:18.4  for the truth. And you are wrong. But a mistake is not a  sin, nor has reality been taken from its throne by your mistakes. God

Tx:20.61  for holiness is positive, and the body is merely neutral. It is not  sinful, but neither is it sinless. As nothing, which it is, the body

W2:294.2  body, Father, cannot be Your Son. And what is not created cannot be  sinful or sinless, neither good nor bad. Let me, then, use this dream

Tx:15.19  given complete release. And because of this, you have not given one  single instant completely to the Holy Spirit. For when you have, you

Tx:26.78  to you, that you may be forgiven all your sins and left without a  single one you cherish still? Forget not that a shadow held between
Tx:27.23  a different role. And so you cannot be perceived as one and, with a  single function, that would mean a shared identity with but one end.

W1:108.3  and with themselves. This is the light which heals because it brings  single perception, based upon one frame of reference from which one
W1:125.8  of unity of will and purpose, with no separation nor division in the  single Mind of Father and of Son. In quiet listen to your Self today,
W1:127.6  which you think are part of human destiny. Today we take the largest  single step this course requests in your advance toward its

W1:191.4  free. In this one truth are all illusions gone. In this one fact is  sinlessness proclaimed to be forever part of everything, the central

Tx:15.63  prefer to be something else, or would attempt to be nothing else and  something else together, the language of communication, which you
Tx:15.65  embarks is special. The ego establishes relationships only to get  something. And it would keep the giver bound to itself through guilt.
Tx:15.71  of what you do. For each one thinks that he has sacrificed  something to the other and hates him for it. Yet this is what he

Tx:17.65  you have removed yourself from the solution? Yet faith must be where  something has been done and where you see it done. A situation is a

Tx:17.77  is not so. Before, the strain was there but you attributed it to  something else, believing that the “something else” produced it. This
Tx:18.10  joined in truth that only God is there. And He would never accept  something else instead of you. He loves you both, equally and as one.
Tx:18.50  What else is there to give? The belief that you could give and get  something else, something outside yourself, has cost you the

Tx:18.59  it is a sudden unawareness of the body and a joining of yourself and  something else in which your mind enlarges to encompass it. It

Tx:18.60  in size and seeming quality. Time is not relevant; it can occur with  something past, present, or anticipated. The “something” can be
Tx:18.71  as an idea? Everything you recognize you identify with externals,  something outside itself. You cannot even think of God without a body
Tx:18.94  still further inward but the one you cannot take, transports you to  something completely different. Here is the Source of light—nothing
Tx:19.88  nor symbol should be confused with source, for they must stand for  something other than themselves. Their meaning cannot lie in them but
Tx:20.67  through your desire, as it was lost to you through your desire for  something else. Open the holy place which you closed off by valuing
Tx:20.77  holiness God gave His Son. And never need you think that there is  something else for you to see.
Tx:21.22  gifts belong. Where they should be, you have set up your idols to  something else. This other will, which seems to tell you what must

Tx:21.58  Does not your reason tell you now the question must have come from  something that you do not know but must belong to you? Faith and
Tx:21.73  great enemy which always eludes its murderous attack by turning into  something else. How treacherous does this enemy appear, who changes
Tx:21.88  you did not ask for it. For no one fails to ask for his desire of  something he believes holds out some promise of the power of giving
Tx:22.7  what happened. Denying what you are and firm in faith that you are  something else, this “something else” which you have made to be

Tx:24.40  you wish is true for you. Nor is it possible that you can wish for  something and lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes real, as surely
Tx:25.38  your Self your “enemy.” And now you must believe you are not you but  something alien to yourself and “something else,” a “something” to be

Tx:26.3  For sight of bodies becomes the sign that sacrifice is limited and  something still remains for you alone. And for this little to belong
Tx:27.10  is can never be! The Holy Spirit's picture changes not the body into  something it is not. It only takes away from it all signs of
Tx:27.29  to be itself. No weakness can intrude on it without changing it into  something it is not. To weaken is to limit and impose an opposite
Tx:27.29  the concept which it attacks. And by this does it join to the idea a  something it is not and make it unintelligible. Who can understand a

Tx:27.41 An honest question is a learning tool which asks for  something that you do not know. It does not set conditions for

Tx:29.59  when one fails, another takes its place with hope of finding more of  something else. Be not deceived by forms the “something” takes. An
Tx:29.67  betray. It is a dream in which no one is used to substitute for  something else nor interposed between the thoughts the mind conceives

Tx:8.15  in answer to the call of God. This is the natural response of every  Son of God to the Voice of his Creator, because it is the Voice for
Tx:8.18 The will of Father and of the  Son are one together by their extension. Their extension is the
Tx:8.18  union with Perfect Creator. The Father must give fatherhood to His  Son, because His own Fatherhood must be extended outward. You who
Tx:8.34  with the Father. Your identification is with the Father and with the  Son. It cannot be with one and not the other. If you are part of one,
Tx:8.38  The miracles we do bear witness to the Will of the Father for His  Son and to our joy in uniting with His Will for us.
Tx:8.44 Listen to the story of the prodigal  son, and learn what God's treasure is and yours: This son of a loving
Tx:8.44  the prodigal son, and learn what God's treasure is and yours: This  son of a loving father left his home and thought he squandered
Tx:8.44  he came home, the father welcomed him with joy, because only the  son himself was his father's treasure. He wanted nothing else.
Tx:8.45 God wants only His  Son because His Son is His only treasure. You want your creations as
Tx:8.45 God wants only His Son because His  Son is His only treasure. You want your creations as He wants His.
Tx:8.48  thought is so powerful that they can even imprison the mind of God's  Son if they so choose. This choice does make the Son's function
Tx:8.49  from each other we cannot function at all. The whole power of God's  Son lies in all of us, but not in any of us alone. God would not have
Tx:8.49  because He does not will to be alone. That is why He created His  Son and gave him the power to create with Him.
Tx:8.58  His gifts from you, but you have withdrawn them from Him. Let no  Son of God remain hidden for His Name's sake, because His Name is
Tx:8.87  name alone, for ours is a shared identification. The name of God's  Son is one, and you are enjoined to do the works of love, because we
Tx:8.110 If you would know your prayers are answered, never doubt a  Son of God. Do not question him and do not confound him, for your
Tx:8.119 Because I will to know myself, I see you as God's  Son and my brother.
Tx:9.2  his error is at another level. He is still right, because he is a  Son of God. His ego is always wrong, no matter what it says or does.
Tx:9.33  as you call upon it in them, it becomes real to you. God has but one  Son, knowing them all as one. Only God Himself is more than they, but
Tx:9.34  you see it everywhere. You can know yourself only as God knows His  Son, for knowledge is shared with God. When you awake in Him you will
Tx:9.35  it will be known by its creations, who witness to its reality as the  Son does to the Father.
Tx:9.76  and God has only one channel for healing, because He has but one  Son. His remaining communication link with all His Children joins
Tx:9.76  that no one is separate, and so no one is sick. To believe that a  Son of God can be sick is to believe that part of God can suffer.
Tx:9.77 Do not side with sickness in the presence of a  Son of God even if he believes in it, for your acceptance of God in
Tx:9.77  of his wholeness and remember your Creator with him? To believe a  Son of God is sick is to worship the same idol he does. God created
Tx:9.78  thinks he is. And that is exactly what the ego does perceive in a  Son of God; a sick god, self-created, self-sufficient, very vicious,
Tx:9.79  because of the calm knowledge that each one is part of Him. God's  Son knows no idols, but he does know his Father. Health in this world
Tx:9.79  sick, but my value of you can heal you because the value of God's  Son is one. When I said, “My peace I give unto you,” I meant it.
Tx:9.80  is the denial of illusion, and sickness is an illusion. Yet every  Son of God has the power to deny illusions anywhere in the Kingdom
Tx:9.82  your willingness to accept only the eternal. If God has but one  Son, there is but one God. You share reality with Him, because
Tx:9.91 The miracle is the act of a  Son of God who has laid aside all false gods and who calls on his
Tx:9.96 Sickness and death entered the Mind of God's  Son against His Will. The “attack on God” made His Son think he was
Tx:9.96  the Mind of God's Son against His Will. The “attack on God” made His  Son think he was fatherless, and out of his depression, he made the
Tx:9.96  fact that, although he was a creator, he had been created. Yet the  Son is helpless without the Father, Who alone is his help. We said
Tx:9.97  who are unlike your Creator any more than He could have created a  Son who was unlike Him. If creation is sharing, it cannot create what
Tx:9.98  Son of God, you have not sinned, but you have been much mistaken. Yet
Tx:9.99  to you from every part of the Sonship because of His love for His  Son. If you hear His message, He has answered you, and you will learn
Tx:9.99  hear aright. The love of God is in everything He created, for His  Son is everywhere. Look with peace upon your brothers, and God will
Tx:9.100  are of God. Would He allow Himself to suffer? And would He offer His  Son anything that is not acceptable to Him?
Tx:9.102  Yet He would not interfere with you, because He would not know His  Son if he were not free. To interfere with you would be to attack
Tx:9.102  you have Him share your insanity? God will never cease to love His  Son, and His Son will never cease to love Him. That was the condition
Tx:9.102  share your insanity? God will never cease to love His Son, and His  Son will never cease to love Him. That was the condition of His Son's
Tx:9.103 Out of your gifts to Him, the Kingdom will be restored to His  Son. His Son removed himself from His gift by refusing to accept what
Tx:9.103  of your gifts to Him, the Kingdom will be restored to His Son. His  Son removed himself from His gift by refusing to accept what had been
Tx:9.103  for his return, for it was created as the dwelling place of God's  Son. You are not at home anywhere else or in any other condition. Do
Tx:9.104  take are refusals to accept creation as it is. If God created His  Son perfect, that is how you must learn to see him to learn of his
Tx:9.105  as His. Yet the real Fatherhood must be acknowledged if the real  Son is to be known. You believe that the sick things which you have
Tx:10.2  conflict, because the ego was made out of the wish of God's  Son to father Him. The ego, then, is nothing more than a delusional
Tx:10.5  by Him, for you will be restoring the holy dwelling place of His  Son, where He wills His Son to be and where he is. In whatever part
Tx:10.5  be restoring the holy dwelling place of His Son, where He wills His  Son to be and where he is. In whatever part of the Mind of God's Son
Tx:10.5  His Son to be and where he is. In whatever part of the Mind of God's  Son you restore this reality, you restore it to yourself. For you
Tx:10.9  and you are meaningless without God. There is no end to God and His  Son, for we are the universe. God is not incomplete, and He is not
Tx:10.9  is not childless. Because He did not will to be alone, He created a  Son like Himself. Do not deny Him His Son, for your unwillingness to
Tx:10.9  will to be alone, He created a Son like Himself. Do not deny Him His  Son, for your unwillingness to accept His Fatherhood has denied you
Tx:10.9  accept His Fatherhood has denied you yours. See His creations as His  Son, for yours were created in honor of Him. The universe of love
Tx:10.12  that to deny is to “not know.” God's Will is that you are His  Son. By denying this, you denied your own will and therefore do not
Tx:10.13  can sleep, but it cannot die. Immortality is His Will for His  Son and His Son's will for himself. God's Son cannot will death for
Tx:10.13  is His Will for His Son and His Son's will for himself. God's  Son cannot will death for himself because His Father is Life and His
Tx:10.13  Son cannot will death for himself because His Father is Life and His  Son is like Him. Creation is your will because it is His.
Tx:10.15  be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God's Will is that His  Son be one, and united with Him in His Oneness. That is why healing
Tx:10.16  step away from this, and every healing thought brings it closer. The  Son of God has both Father and Son because he is both Father and Son.
Tx:10.16  healing thought brings it closer. The Son of God has both Father and  Son because he is both Father and Son. To unite having and being is
Tx:10.16  The Son of God has both Father and Son because he is both Father and  Son. To unite having and being is only to unite your will with His,
Tx:10.17  your brother or in your own mind, teaches you that you are God's  Son. In every hurtful thought you hold, wherever you perceive it,
Tx:10.18  be to fail to understand. You can heal only yourself, for only God's  Son needs healing. He needs it because he does not understand himself
Tx:10.19  He will lay His own complete will and make yours whole. What can the  Son of God not accomplish with the Fatherhood of God in him? And yet
Tx:10.23  could never suffer in any way, for that is not God's Will for His  Son. Pain is not of Him, for He knows no attack and His peace
Tx:10.23  blind, it does not see whom it attacks. Yet it always attacks the  Son of God, and the Son of God is you.
Tx:10.23  see whom it attacks. Yet it always attacks the Son of God, and the  Son of God is you.
Tx:10.24 God's  Son is indeed in need of comfort, for he knows not what he does,
Tx:10.26  with you on the way. But the dark journey is not the way of God's  Son. Walk in light, and do not see the dark companions, for they are
Tx:10.26  not see the dark companions, for they are not fit companions for the  Son of God, who was created of light and in light. The Great Light
Tx:10.27 God hides nothing from His  Son, even though His Son would hide himself. Yet the Son of God
Tx:10.27 God hides nothing from His Son, even though His  Son would hide himself. Yet the Son of God cannot hide his glory, for
Tx:10.27  from His Son, even though His Son would hide himself. Yet the  Son of God cannot hide his glory, for God wills him to be glorious
Tx:10.28  by the dark comforters, and never let them enter the Mind of God's  Son, for they have no place in His temple. When you are tempted to
Tx:10.30  cannot understand Wholeness unless you are whole, and no part of the  Son can be excluded if he would know the Wholeness of his Father. In
Tx:10.30  with Him because it is your will not to be alone. God blessed His  Son forever. If you will bless him in time, you will be in eternity.
Tx:10.32  you try to make God homeless and know that you are at home? Can the  Son deny the Father without believing that the Father has denied him?
Tx:10.33  That is the law of God for the protection of the wholeness of His  Son.
Tx:10.35  as blaming others. You cannot enter God's Presence if you attack His  Son. When His Son lifts his voice in praise of his Creator, he will
Tx:10.35  You cannot enter God's Presence if you attack His Son. When His  Son lifts his voice in praise of his Creator, he will hear the Voice
Tx:10.35  Voice of his Father. Yet the Creator cannot be praised without His  Son, for their glory is shared, and they are glorified together.
Tx:10.36 Christ is at God's altar, waiting to welcome His  Son. But come wholly without condemnation, for otherwise you will
Tx:10.36  God is my life and yours, and nothing is denied by God to His  Son.
Tx:10.37  Christ waits for the restoration of Himself in you. God knows His  Son as wholly blameless as Himself, and He is approached through the
Tx:10.37  as Himself, and He is approached through the appreciation of His  Son. Christ waits for your acceptance of Him as yourself and of His
Tx:10.37  of Him as yourself and of His wholeness as yours. For Christ is the  Son of God who lives in his Creator and shines with His glory. Christ
Tx:10.38 Blessed is the  Son of God, whose radiance is of his Father and whose glory he wills
Tx:10.38  as his Father shares it with him. There is no condemnation in the  Son, for there is no condemnation in the Father. Sharing the perfect
Tx:10.38  in the Father. Sharing the perfect love of the Father, the  Son must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he will not know
Tx:10.38  belongs to Him, for otherwise he will not know the Father or the  Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God and in whom the whole Sonship
Tx:10.52  by fear, this is what the ego would have you believe. Yet God's  Son is not insane and cannot believe it. Let him but recognize it,
Tx:10.56  straight at the Father and does not see Him, for it has denied His  Son.
Tx:10.57 Would you remember the Father? Accept His  Son, and you will remember Him. Nothing can demonstrate that His Son
Tx:10.57  His Son, and you will remember Him. Nothing can demonstrate that His  Son is unworthy, for nothing can prove that a lie is true. What you
Tx:10.57  for nothing can prove that a lie is true. What you see of His  Son through the eyes of the ego is a demonstration that His Son does
Tx:10.57  of His Son through the eyes of the ego is a demonstration that His  Son does not exist, yet where the Son is, the Father must be. Accept
Tx:10.57  ego is a demonstration that His Son does not exist, yet where the  Son is, the Father must be. Accept what God does not deny, and He
Tx:10.57  He created. Their silence is the sign that they have beheld God's  Son, and in the Presence of Christ they need demonstrate nothing, for
Tx:10.61  what you see by narrow little beliefs which are unworthy of God's  Son. For until Christ comes into His own, the Son of God will see
Tx:10.61  are unworthy of God's Son. For until Christ comes into His own, the  Son of God will see himself as fatherless.
Tx:10.62  is now, and ever shall be, for such is the nature of God's  Son as His Father created him.
Tx:10.63 Do not underestimate the power of the devotion of God's  Son nor the power of the god he worships over him. For he places
Tx:10.63  In his name they crucify themselves, believing that the power of the  Son of God is born of sacrifice and pain. The God of the resurrection
Tx:10.64  God. And you can accept it by His grace, for God is gracious to His  Son, accepting him without question as His own. Who, then, is your
Tx:10.65  find peace until you have removed the nails from the hands of God's  Son and taken the last thorn from his forehead. The love of God
Tx:10.65  the last thorn from his forehead. The love of God surrounds His  Son, whom the god of the crucifixion condemns. Teach not that I died
Tx:10.65  that I live in you. For the undoing of the crucifixion of God's  Son is the work of the redemption, in which everyone has a part of
Tx:10.65  everyone has a part of equal value. God does not judge His blameless  Son. Having given Himself to him, how could it be otherwise?
Tx:10.66  a crown of thorns upon your own head. Yet you cannot crucify God's  Son, for the Will of God cannot die. His Son has been redeemed from
Tx:10.66  you cannot crucify God's Son, for the Will of God cannot die. His  Son has been redeemed from his own crucifixion, and you cannot assign
Tx:10.66  but what you see in dreams is not reality. While you perceive the  Son of God as crucified, you are asleep. And as long as you believe
Tx:10.68 God's  Son is saved. Bring only this awareness to the Sonship, and you will
Tx:10.70 Every loving thought that the  Son of God ever had is eternal. Those which his mind perceived in
Tx:10.82  yourself, for it can only free you. Nothing of God will enslave His  Son, whom He created free and whose freedom is protected by His Being.
Tx:10.83  Sons have nothing which they do not share. Ask for truth of any  Son of God, and you have asked it of me. No one of us but has the
Tx:10.83  in him, to give to anyone who asks it of him. Ask anything of God's  Son and His Father will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His
Tx:10.84  him unto Christ, for Christ is his healing and yours. Christ is the  Son of God, who is in no way separate from His Father, whose every
Tx:10.84  of His Father by which He was created. Be not deceived in God's  Son, for thereby you must be deceived in yourself. And being deceived
Tx:10.86  as we live together and love together. Be not deceived in God's  Son, for he is one with himself and one with his Father. Love him who
Tx:10.87  offends you, you are offended in yourself and are condemning God's  Son, whom God condemneth not. Let the Holy Spirit remove all offense
Tx:10.87  God condemneth not. Let the Holy Spirit remove all offense of God's  Son against himself and perceive no one but through His guidance, for
Tx:10.87  power and use it for all He sends you, for He wills to heal the  Son of God in whom He is not deceived.
Tx:11.15  to obscure the light, it has none, for it has power only because the  Son of God gave power to it. He must himself withdraw that power,
Tx:11.30 If only the loving thoughts of God's  Son are the world's reality, the real world must be in his mind. His
Tx:11.32  that God so loved the world that He gave it to His only-begotten  Son. God does love the real world, and those who perceive its reality
Tx:11.35  you will learn to see truly. From this place, where God and His  Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you will look out in
Tx:11.39  He sets before you He will give you. For He will never deceive God's  Son, whom He loves with the love of the Father.
Tx:11.52  your will to learn aright, and nothing can oppose the Will of God's  Son. His learning is as unlimited as he is.
Tx:11.54  forget your worth. For the Father never ceases to remind Him of His  Son, and He never ceases to remind His Son of the Father. God is in
Tx:11.54  ceases to remind Him of His Son, and He never ceases to remind His  Son of the Father. God is in your memory because of Him. You chose to
Tx:11.57 The Holy Spirit keeps the vision of Christ for every  Son of God who sleeps. In His sight the Son of God is perfect, and He
Tx:11.57  vision of Christ for every Son of God who sleeps. In His sight the  Son of God is perfect, and He longs to share His vision with you. He
Tx:11.57  world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him your Father calls His  Son to remember. The awakening of His Son begins with his investment
Tx:11.57  Him your Father calls His Son to remember. The awakening of His  Son begins with his investment in the real world, and by this he will
Tx:11.57  to reinvest in himself. For reality is one with the Father and the  Son, and the Holy Spirit blesses the real world in Their Name.
Tx:11.60  of knowledge. At the altar of God, the holy perception of God's  Son becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the Spirit
Tx:11.60  so enlightened that light streams into it, and the Spirit of God's  Son shines in the Mind of the Father and becomes one with it. Very
Tx:11.60  God shine upon Himself, loving the extension of Himself which is His  Son. The world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God.
Tx:11.77 Do you really believe that you can kill the  Son of God? The Father has hidden His Son safely within Himself and
Tx:11.77  believe that you can kill the Son of God? The Father has hidden His  Son safely within Himself and kept him far away from your destructive
Tx:11.77  your destructive thoughts, but you know neither the Father nor the  Son because of them. You attack the real world every day and every
Tx:11.78 God's  Son is as safe as his Father, for the Son knows his Father's
Tx:11.78 God's Son is as safe as his Father, for the  Son knows his Father's protection and cannot fear. His Father's love
Tx:11.81  look upon what you have made of it and rejoice that it is not so.  Son of God, be not content with nothing! What is not real cannot be
Tx:11.81  is not real cannot be seen and has no value. God could not offer His  Son what has no value, nor could His Son receive it. You were
Tx:11.81  value. God could not offer His Son what has no value, nor could His  Son receive it. You were redeemed the instant you thought you had
Tx:11.82  you have tried to interpose between your awareness and truth. God's  Son can be seen because his vision is shared. The Holy Spirit looks
Tx:11.84  back to what was never lost. Your Father could not cease to love His  Son.
Tx:11.86 The acceptance of guilt into the Mind of God's  Son was the beginning of the separation, as the acceptance of the
Tx:11.88 This world is a picture of the crucifixion of God's  Son. And until you realize that God's Son cannot be crucified, this
Tx:11.88  of the crucifixion of God's Son. And until you realize that God's  Son cannot be crucified, this is the world you will see. Yet you will
Tx:11.88  will not realize this until you accept the eternal fact that God's  Son is not guilty. He deserves only love because he has given only
Tx:11.89  Holy Spirit wills only this, for sharing the Father's love for His  Son, He wills to remove all guilt from his mind that he may remember
Tx:11.89  from your sight, for it is the denial of the blamelessness of God's  Son.
Tx:11.90 In this strange world which you have made, the  Son of God has sinned. How could you see him, then? By making him
Tx:11.90  was and can never be. Without guilt the ego has no life, and God's  Son is without guilt. As you look upon yourselves and judge what you
Tx:11.91  the past behind you and will disappear. As long as you believe the  Son of God is guilty, you will walk along this carpet, believing that
Tx:11.92 The journey which the  Son of God has set himself is foolish indeed, but the journey on
Tx:11.92  sets him is one of release and joy. The Father is not cruel, and His  Son cannot hurt himself. The retaliation he fears and which he sees
Tx:11.92  He is with you. He has always undone everything unworthy of the  Son of God, for such was His mission, given Him by God. And what God
Tx:11.93 You will see me as you learn the  Son of God is guiltless. He has always sought his guiltlessness, and
Tx:11.93  it is only a matter of time, and time is but an illusion. For the  Son of God is guiltless now, and the brightness of his purity shines
Tx:11.93  of his purity shines untouched forever in God's Mind. God's  Son will always be as he was created. Deny your world and judge him
Tx:11.94  for yourselves, you will realize that there is no guilt in God's  Son. And only as you look upon him as guiltless can you understand
Tx:11.94  only yourself, and by so doing, you cannot know that you are God's  Son. You have denied the condition of his Being, which is his perfect
Tx:11.95  will realize that there is no journey, but only an awakening. The  Son of God, who sleepeth not, has kept faith with his Father for you.
Tx:11.95  travel on and no time to travel through. For God waits not for His  Son in time, being forever unwilling to be without him. And so it has
Tx:11.95  be without him. And so it has always been. Let the holiness of God's  Son shine away the cloud of guilt that darkens your mind, and by
Tx:11.97  a sense of need for expiation. Accepting the guiltlessness of the  Son of God as yours is therefore God's way of reminding you of His
Tx:11.97  Son of God as yours is therefore God's way of reminding you of His  Son and what he is in truth. For God has never condemned His Son, and
Tx:11.97  of His Son and what he is in truth. For God has never condemned His  Son, and being guiltless, he is eternal.
Tx:11.99  recognition that it has never been. As He looks upon the guiltless  Son of God, he knows this is true. And being true for you, you cannot
Tx:11.99  guilt, attack is impossible. You, then, are saved because God's  Son is guiltless. And being wholly pure, you are invulnerable.
Tx:12.2  you have failed. Yet you have no idea that you are failing the  Son of God by seeing him as guilty. Believing you are no longer you,
Tx:12.3  and secret place is the realization that you have betrayed God's  Son by condemning him to death. You do not even suspect this
Tx:12.3  urge is so intense that nothing short of the crucifixion of God's  Son can ultimately satisfy it. It does not know who the Son of God is
Tx:12.3  of God's Son can ultimately satisfy it. It does not know who the  Son of God is because it is blind. Yet let it perceive guiltlessness
Tx:12.5  of truth, let us recognize that you believe you have crucified God's  Son. You have not admitted to this “terrible” secret because you
Tx:12.6  the ego. When it was confronted with the real guiltlessness of God's  Son, it did attempt to kill him, and the reason it gave was that
Tx:12.9  the remembrance of your Father, for you will remember His guiltless  Son, who did not die because he is immortal. And you will see that
Tx:12.9  on your homecoming, and the joy will be yours. For the redeemed  son of man is the guiltless Son of God, and to recognize him is your
Tx:12.9  the joy will be yours. For the redeemed son of man is the guiltless  Son of God, and to recognize him is your redemption.
Tx:12.12  would be willing to look even upon your savage wish to kill God's  Son if you did not believe that it saves you from love. For this wish
Tx:12.16  you offer it can heal it, for here is the real crucifixion of God's  Son.
Tx:12.18  welcome it, and it will be yours. For grandeur is the right of God's  Son, and no illusions can satisfy him or save him from what he is.
Tx:12.20  to Him, and you could not ask this of a Father Who truly loved His  Son. Therefore you made of Him an unloving father, demanding of Him
Tx:12.20  of Him what only such a father could give. And the peace of God's  Son was shattered, for he no longer understood his Father. He feared
Tx:12.21  except by departing in peace and returning to the Father? If the  Son did not wish to remain in peace, he could not remain at all. For
Tx:12.40  us in gladness, and gladness is what we should offer Him. For every  Son of God is given you to whom God gave Himself. And it is God to
Tx:12.43  His Father. Beyond your darkest dreams, He sees God's guiltless  Son within you, shining in perfect radiance, which is undimmed by
Tx:12.44  alone, for He is no more alone than they are. Because they saw the  Son, they have risen in Him to the Father. And all this will they
Tx:12.47  condemnation upon the present. For the cloud which obscures God's  Son to you is the past, and if you would have it past and gone, you
Tx:12.52  continuity, unbroken because it is wholly shared. God's guiltless  Son is only light. There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is
Tx:12.52  to the Creator of light. The holy light that shines forth from God's  Son is the witness that his light is of his Father.
Tx:12.53  in His clear answer to your call. For it can never be that His  Son called upon Him and remained unanswered. His call to you is but
Tx:12.55  it. And here will everything remind you of your Father and His Holy  Son. Light is unlimited and spreads across this world in quiet joy.
Tx:12.57  name He has given for you and given you the gifts He gave. God's  Son is still as loving as his Father. Continuous with his Father, he
Tx:12.65 It is God's Will that nothing touch His  Son except Himself, and nothing else comes nigh unto him. He is as
Tx:12.66  past. Yet here it is, and you can understand it now. God loves His  Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's love forever. The real
Tx:12.66  and you can understand it now. God loves His Son forever, and His  Son returns his Father's love forever. The real world is the way that
Tx:12.66  But this one thing is always yours, being the gift of God unto His  Son. Your one reality was given you, and by it God created you as one
Tx:12.67  Praise, then, the Father for the perfect sanity of His most holy  Son.
Tx:12.71  for His sight is ever on the journey's end which is His goal. God's  Son is not a traveler through outer worlds. However holy his
Tx:12.76  The sound of it will banish sorrow from the Mind of God's most holy  Son, where it cannot abide. Healing in time is needed, for joy cannot
Tx:12.76  part of you that you have taught how to remember you. Thus does the  Son of God give thanks unto his Father for his purity.
Tx:13.4 Apart from the Father and the  Son, the Holy Spirit has no function. He is not separate from either,
Tx:13.5  of creation; that it is one forever. Every miracle you offer to the  Son of God is but the true perception of one aspect of the whole.
Tx:13.6  Reality of God. The only miracle that ever was is God's most holy  Son, created in the One Reality that is his Father. Christ's vision
Tx:13.7  Christ's gift to everyone and everywhere, for miracles offered the  Son of God through the Holy Spirit attune you to reality. The Holy
Tx:13.8  of His teaching, and as we grow in strength, the power of God's  Son will move in us, and we will leave no one untouched and no one
Tx:13.10  for reality is witnessed to as one. God waits your witness to His  Son and to Himself. The miracles you do on earth are lifted up to
Tx:13.10  Heaven, God will open them. For never would He leave His own beloved  Son outside them and beyond Himself.
Tx:13.11  only thing that hides the Father, for guilt is the attack upon His  Son. The guilty always condemn, and having done so, they will
Tx:13.14  has become as true for you as innocence. You do not believe the  Son of God is guiltless because you see the past and see him not.
Tx:13.15  him that he is right in his delusion? The idea that the guiltless  Son of God can attack himself and make himself guilty is insane. In
Tx:13.16  unto yourself. In every condemnation that you offer the  Son of God lies the conviction of your own guilt. If you would have
Tx:13.16  true for you. Remember always that it is impossible to condemn the  Son of God in part. Those whom you see as guilty become the witnesses
Tx:13.27  heal and teach, to make what will be now. As yet it is not now. The  Son of God believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a dark world
Tx:13.29  as steadily and as surely as God Himself has always loved His  Son. And as His son loves Him. There is no fear in love, for love is
Tx:13.29  and as surely as God Himself has always loved His Son. And as His  son loves Him. There is no fear in love, for love is guiltless. You
Tx:13.29  He would show you the perfect purity that is forever within God's  Son.
Tx:13.31 Behold the  Son of God and look upon his purity and be still. In quiet look upon
Tx:13.32  guilt forever. I thank You, Father, for the purity of Your most holy  Son, whom You have created guiltless forever.
Tx:13.34 Praise be unto you who make the Father one with His own  Son. Alone we are all lowly, but together we shine with brightness so
Tx:13.36 God would not have His  Son embattled, and so His Son's imagined “enemy,” which he made, is
Tx:13.39  mission to remove all doubt and every trace of guilt that His dear  Son has laid upon himself. It is impossible that this mission fail.
Tx:13.43  even the darkest nightmare that disturbed the Mind of God's sleeping  Son holds no power over him. He will learn the lesson of awaking. God
Tx:13.44 Can God's  Son lose himself in dreams when God has placed within him the glad
Tx:13.51  you made would be forever dark. The thoughts which the Mind of God's  Son projects have all the power that he gives to them. The thoughts
Tx:13.63  simple truth. For there is nothing else. God is everywhere, and His  Son is in Him with everything. Can he sing the dirge of sorrow when
Tx:13.66  gently, but with the conviction born of the love of God and of His  Son,
Tx:13.67  by making it manifest and sharing it. Let me bring peace to God's  Son from his Father.
Tx:13.70 No penalty is ever asked of God's  Son except by himself and of himself. Every chance given him to heal
Tx:13.70  of light. The joy of learning that darkness has no power over the  Son of God is the happy lesson the Holy Spirit teaches and would have
Tx:13.71  is also his. There is nothing to forgive. No one can hurt the  Son of God. His guilt is wholly without cause, and being without
Tx:13.72  the Cause of God as yours. The power that God has given to His  Son is his, and nothing else can His Son see or choose to look upon
Tx:13.72  power that God has given to His Son is his, and nothing else can His  Son see or choose to look upon without imposing on himself the
Tx:13.73  decisions by yourself or for yourself alone. No thought of God's  Son can be separate or isolated in its effects. Every decision is
Tx:13.76  of yourself in place of His calm and unswerving value of His  Son? Nothing can shake God's conviction of the perfect purity of
Tx:13.77  “enemy,” and against this strange distortion of the purity of the  Son of God, the Holy Spirit is your only friend. He is the strong
Tx:13.79 Seek not to appraise the worth of God's  Son, whom He created holy, for to do so is to evaluate his Father and
Tx:13.79  you. For it is quite impossible that He could ever let His  Son drop from His loving mind wherein he was created and where his
Tx:13.86  is offered first to be received, even as God gave it first to His  Son. The first in time means nothing, but the First in eternity is
Tx:13.90  Fail not yourself, but instead offer to God and you His blameless  Son. For this small gift of appreciation for His Love, God will
Tx:13.91  the awful burden you have laid upon yourself by loving not the  Son of God and trying to teach him guilt instead of love. Give up
Tx:14.1  Him, though He is all around you. He cannot be known without His  Son, whose guiltlessness is the condition for knowing Him. Accepting
Tx:14.1  whose guiltlessness is the condition for knowing Him. Accepting His  Son as guilty is denial of the Father so complete that knowledge is
Tx:14.3  Heaven to itself. Atonement teaches you the true condition of the  Son of God. It does not teach you what you are or what your Father
Tx:14.5  of you to you. There is no guilt in you, for God is blessed in His  Son as the Son is blessed in Him.
Tx:14.5  you. There is no guilt in you, for God is blessed in His Son as the  Son is blessed in Him.
Tx:14.6  but the message given to each to share is always the same—God's  Son is guiltless. Each one teaches the message differently and learns
Tx:14.7 Blessed  Son of a wholly blessing Father, joy was created for you. Who can
Tx:14.8 The inheritance of the Kingdom is the right of God's  Son, given him in his creation. Do not try to steal it from him, or
Tx:14.8  hidden, but shine away the heavy veils of guilt within which the  Son of God has hidden himself from his own sight. We are all joined
Tx:14.8  away and full communication be restored between the Father and the  Son.
Tx:14.12  excluded. Within its holy circle is everyone whom God created as His  Son. Joy is its unifying attribute, with no one left outside to
Tx:14.13  the only purpose to which my teaching calls you. Restore to God His  Son as He created him by teaching him his innocence.
Tx:14.23  chambers in God's temple. Its gates are open wide to greet His  Son. No one can fail to come where God has called him if he close not
Tx:14.32  the glory God gave you and the power He bestowed upon His guiltless  Son. All this lies hidden in every darkened place shrouded in guilt
Tx:14.33  promise given unto Him to lay upon the altar to your Father and His  Son. No altar stands to God without His Son. And nothing brought
Tx:14.33  altar to your Father and His Son. No altar stands to God without His  Son. And nothing brought there that is not equally worthy of both but
Tx:14.33  but will be replaced by gifts wholly acceptable to Father and to  Son. Can you offer guilt to God? You cannot, then, offer it to His
Tx:14.33  Son. Can you offer guilt to God? You cannot, then, offer it to His  Son. For they are not apart, and gifts to one are offered to the
Tx:14.34  not in division, but in the meeting place where God, united with His  Son, speaks to His Son through Him. Communication between what cannot
Tx:14.34  in the meeting place where God, united with His Son, speaks to His  Son through Him. Communication between what cannot be divided cannot
Tx:14.34  cease. The holy meeting place of the unseparated Father and His  Son lies in the Holy Spirit and in you. All interference in the
Tx:14.34  interference in the communication that God Himself wills with His  Son is quite impossible here. Unbroken and uninterrupted love flows
Tx:14.34  and uninterrupted love flows constantly between the Father and the  Son, as both would have it be. And so it is.
Tx:14.35  appointed for you. He will surely lead you to where God and His  Son await your recognition. They are joined in giving you the gift of
Tx:14.36  are joined the Father and His creations, and the creations of His  Son with them together. There is one link which joins them all
Tx:14.37  God, and only what is worthy of the Father will be accepted by the  Son, for whom it was intended. To whom God gives Himself, He is
Tx:14.47  its reflection here, its truth becomes the only perception the  Son of God accepts. And thus, remembrance of his Father dawns on him,
Tx:14.57  you will recognize it. And God Himself, Who wills to be with His  Son forever, will bless each recognition of His Son with all the love
Tx:14.57  wills to be with His Son forever, will bless each recognition of His  Son with all the love He holds for him. Nor will the power of all His
Tx:14.57  power of all His love be absent from any miracle you offer to His  Son. How, then, can there be any order of difficulty among them?
Tx:14.59  to it forever. For you have taught yourselves how to imprison the  Son of God, a lesson so unthinkable that only the insane, in deepest
Tx:14.59  could even dream of it. Can God learn how not to be God? And can His  Son, given all power by Him, learn to be powerless? What have you
Tx:14.61  glory, for in it lies His power, which He shares so gladly with His  Son.
Tx:14.63  peace means but one thing: you think you do not will for God's  Son what His Father wills for him. Every dark lesson teaches this in
Tx:14.63  accept and hide, teaches you that you will with the Father unto His  Son.
Tx:14.67  which you can depend for miracles has been provided for you. God's  Son can make no needs His Father will not meet if he but turn to Him
Tx:14.67  meet if he but turn to Him ever so little. Yet He cannot compel His  Son to turn to Him and remain Himself. It is impossible that God lose
Tx:14.67  The miracle acknowledges His changelessness by seeing His  Son as he always was and not as he would make himself. The miracle
Tx:14.71 God's  Son will always be indivisible. As we are held as one in God, so do
Tx:14.71  as one in Him. God's Teacher is as like to His Creator as is His  Son, and through His Teacher does God proclaim His Oneness and His
Tx:15.9  the future. Each instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in which the  Son of God emerges from the past into the present. And the present
Tx:15.15  in time but in eternity. There never was an instant in which God's  Son could lose his purity. His changeless state is beyond time, for
Tx:15.17  Blessed is God's Teacher, Whose joy it is to teach God's holy  Son his holiness. His joy is not contained in time. His teaching is
Tx:15.19  you. And you will know which you have chosen by their reactions. A  Son of God who has been released through the Holy Spirit in a
Tx:15.26  of God will support every effort you make on behalf of His dear  Son. Search for the little, and you deny yourself His power. God is
Tx:15.26  little, and you deny yourself His power. God is not willing that His  Son be content with less than everything. For He is not content
Tx:15.26  content with less than everything. For He is not content without His  Son, and His Son cannot be content with less than his Father has
Tx:15.26  less than everything. For He is not content without His Son, and His  Son cannot be content with less than his Father has given him. We
Tx:15.27  not left Him. All your attempts to deny His magnitude and make His  Son hostage to the ego cannot make little whom God has joined with
Tx:15.33  release all those who would be bound, proclaiming together that the  Son of God is host to Him. Thus will we let no one forget what you
Tx:15.46  yourself as alone is to deny the oneness of the Father and his  Son and thus to attack reality.
Tx:15.57  gift to you. In the holy instant, we share our faith in God's  Son because we recognize together that he is wholly worthy of it, and
Tx:15.61  The laws of this world cease to hold any meaning at all. When the  Son of God accepts the laws of God as what he gladly wills, it is
Tx:15.62  holy instant, you will recognize the only need the aspects of the  Son of God share equally, and by this recognition you will join with
Tx:15.65  obscured by it is the powerful attraction of the Father for His  Son. There is no other love that can satisfy you, because there is no
Tx:15.69 It is this chain that binds the  Son of God to guilt, and it is this chain the Holy Spirit would
Tx:15.80  all that there is by desiring that it be all that there is. God's  Son has such great need of your willingness to strive for this that
Tx:15.80  conceive of need so great. Behold the only need that God and His  Son share and will to meet together. You are not alone in this. The
Tx:15.81  leave you and what you can never leave. The loneliness of God's  Son is the loneliness of his Father. Refuse not the awareness of your
Tx:15.90  and limited, for you have attempted to separate the Father from the  Son and limit their communication. Seek not Atonement in further
Tx:15.90  Atonement in further separation. And limit not your vision of God's  Son to what interferes with his release and what the Holy Spirit must
Tx:15.92  your power in time to delay the perfect union of the Father and the  Son. For in this world, the attraction of guilt does stand between
Tx:15.93  of Christ. For in this liberating instant, no guilt is laid upon the  Son of God, and his unlimited power is thus restored to him. What
Tx:16.38  and perfect holiness. Only there is the completion of God and of His  Son established forever. Seek not for this in the bleak world of
Tx:16.38  to accept completion, and only this, there is God completed and His  Son with Him.
Tx:16.59  cannot be natural, for it is unlike the relationship of God and His  Son, and all relationships that are unlike this one must be
Tx:16.77  that you receive it not, because He gave it. When He willed that His  Son be free, His Son was free. In the holy instant is His reminder
Tx:16.77  it not, because He gave it. When He willed that His Son be free, His  Son was free. In the holy instant is His reminder that His Son will
Tx:16.77  free, His Son was free. In the holy instant is His reminder that His  Son will always be exactly as he was created. And everything the Holy
Tx:16.81  Love. Let us not wander into temptation, for the temptation of the  Son of God is not Your will. And let us receive only what you have
Tx:17.1 The betrayal of the  Son of God lies only in illusions, and all his “sins” are but his own

Tx:17.22  spark before you to light your way and make it clear to you. God's  Son is one. Whom God has joined as one, the ego cannot break apart.
Tx:17.78 Such was the crucifixion of the  Son of God. His faithlessness did this to him. Think carefully before
Tx:18.29  your relationship, you have joined with me in bringing Heaven to the  Son of God, who hid in darkness. You have been willing to bring the

Tx:18.85  by hate. Within its barricades is still a tiny segment of the  Son of God, complete and holy, serene and unaware of what you think
Tx:18.93  evil thought you had laid upon it. Here there is no attack upon the  Son of God, and you are welcome. Here is your innocence, waiting to

Tx:19.16  think you do to the eternal you do to you. Whom God created as His  Son is slave to nothing, being lord of all along with his Creator.
Tx:19.18  that attack is real and guilt is justified. It assumes the  Son of God is guilty and has thus succeeded in losing his innocence
Tx:19.19 The  Son of God can be mistaken; he can deceive himself; he can even turn

Tx:19.23  than the idea that sin is real—the natural expression of what the  Son of God has made himself to be and what he is. To the ego, this is
Tx:19.28  and thus unanswered? In time the Holy Spirit clearly sees the  Son of God can make mistakes. On this you share His vision. Yet you

Tx:19.81  who looks upon it as himself. You who believe you have condemned the  Son of God to this are arrogant. But you who would release him are
Tx:19.85 Under the dusty edge of its distorted world, the ego would lay the  Son of God, slain by its orders, proof in his decay that God Himself
Tx:19.90  surmount a final obstacle after which is salvation completed and the  Son of God entirely restored to sanity. For here your world does end.
Tx:19.107  So will we prepare together the way unto the resurrection of God's  Son and let him rise again to glad remembrance of his Father, Who

Tx:20.1  Let us not spend this holy week brooding on the crucifixion of God's  Son, but happily in the celebration of his release. For Easter is the
Tx:20.1  Christ has no meaning. But a risen Christ becomes the symbol of the  Son of God's forgiveness of himself; the sign he looks upon himself
Tx:20.2  begins with palms and ends with lilies, the white and holy sign the  Son of God is innocent. Let no dark sign of crucifixion intervene
Tx:20.2  we celebrate life, not death. And we honor the perfect purity of the  Son of God and not his sins. Offer each other the gift of lilies, not
Tx:20.3  short, and yet this holy week is the symbol of the whole journey the  Son of God has undertaken. He started with the sign of victory the
Tx:20.7  and on yourself. Here is your gift to both; your judgment on the  Son of God for what he is. Forget not that it is your savior to whom
Tx:20.8 I have great need for lilies, for the  Son of God has not forgiven me. And can I offer him forgiveness when
Tx:20.8  his friend for me that I may be forgiven and you may look upon the  Son of God as whole. But look you first upon the altar in your chosen
Tx:20.11  give. For what God gave the Holy Spirit, you have received. The  Son of God looks unto you for his release. For you have asked for and
Tx:20.11  upon this final obstacle and see no thorns nor nails to crucify the  Son of God and crown him king of death. Your chosen home is on the
Tx:20.12  There is no fear in love. The song of Easter is the glad refrain the  Son of God was never crucified. Let us lift up our eyes together, not
Tx:20.14  to the peace of Easter, in which we join in glad awareness that the  Son of God is risen from the past and has awakened to the present.
Tx:20.22  that made it as you see it is not outside you. Seek not to make the  Son of God adjust to his insanity. There is a stranger in him who
Tx:20.23  all the seeing universe of truth you ask, “How shall I look upon the  Son of God?”
Tx:20.24  How happy did it make you? Did you meet with joy to bless the  Son of God and give him thanks for all the happiness which he held
Tx:20.27  The innocent see safety, and the pure in heart see God within His  Son and look unto the Son to lead them to the Father. And where else
Tx:20.27  and the pure in heart see God within His Son and look unto the  Son to lead them to the Father. And where else would they go but
Tx:20.27  now will lead the other to the Father as surely as God created His  Son holy and kept him so. In your brother is the light of God's
Tx:20.33  a new world rises in which sin can enter not, and where the  Son of God can enter without fear, and where he rests a while to
Tx:20.36  contingency. It rests on you. And what can be more certain than a  Son of God?
Tx:20.37 In this world, God's  Son comes closest to himself in a holy relationship. There he begins
Tx:20.37  anything be lost, and never lost forever. So do the parts of God's  Son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the end of time
Tx:20.38  your holy relationship, which has the power to hold the unity of the  Son of God together. You give to one another for everyone, and in
Tx:20.44  you in love and perfect confidence in what He sees. He knows the  Son of God and shares his Father's certainty the universe rests in
Tx:20.45 The meaning of the  Son of God lies solely in his relationship with his Creator. If it
Tx:20.45  is nothing else. And this is wholly loving and forever. Yet has the  Son of God invented an unholy relationship between him and his
Tx:20.54 The holy relationship reflects the true relationship the  Son of God has with his Father in reality. The Holy Spirit rests
Tx:20.55  bereft of water and set uncertainly upon oblivion. Here does the  Son of God stop briefly by to offer his devotion to death's idols,
Tx:20.69  is his desire to see his sinlessness, as it is yours. And bless the  Son of God in your relationship, nor see in him what you have made of
Tx:20.70  do you think the body is a better home, a safer shelter for God's  Son? Why would you rather look on it than on the truth? How can the
Tx:20.77  an instant just on this—you can behold the holiness God gave His  Son. And never need you think that there is something else for you to
Tx:21.2  world. See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the  Son of God. If you behold disaster and catastrophe, you tried to
Tx:21.11 This is the vision of the  Son of God, whom you know well. Here is the sight of him who knows
Tx:21.11  will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of love] the  Son of God sings to his Father still.
Tx:21.12  the memory of this song. And they will look upon the vision of the  Son of God, remembering who he is they sing of. What is a miracle but
Tx:21.17 It is impossible the  Son of God be merely driven by events outside of him. It is
Tx:21.20  is, is an idea that it is possible that things should happen to the  Son of God without his will and thus without the Will of his Creator,
Tx:21.21 This is the  Son of God's replacement for his will, a mad revolt against what must
Tx:21.25  of your desire to create your own Creator and be father and not  son to Him. This is the same desire. The Son is the effect, whose
Tx:21.25  and be father and not son to Him. This is the same desire. The  Son is the effect, whose Cause he would deny. And so he seems to be
Tx:21.26  you made has power to make you what it wills, you are confusing  Son and Father, effect and Source.
Tx:21.27 The Son's creations are like his Father's. Yet in creating them, the  Son does not delude himself that he is independent of his Source. His
Tx:21.31  is indeed a little feat for such a power. For faith can keep the  Son of God in chains as long as he believes he is in chains. And when
Tx:21.33 It is impossible that the  Son of God lack faith, but he can choose where he would have it be.
Tx:21.33  Faith given to illusions does not lack power, for by it does the  Son of God believe that he is powerless. Thus is he faithless to
Tx:21.53  your will and your consent. It must have been accepted by the  Son of God, for what God wills for him he must receive. For God wills
Tx:21.61 No one can think but for himself, as God thinks not without His  Son. Only were both in bodies could this be. Nor could one mind think
Tx:21.64 If you choose sin instead of healing, you would condemn the  Son of God to what can never be corrected. You tell him by your
Tx:21.65  reassure you and seeks not to frighten you. The power to heal the  Son of God is given you because he must be one with you. You are
Tx:21.68 The  Son of God is always blessed as one. And as his gratitude goes out to
Tx:21.69 The power that you have over the  Son of God is not a threat to his reality. It but attests to it.
Tx:21.69  but himself if he deny his freedom? God is not mocked; no more His  Son can be imprisoned save by his own desire. And it is by his own
Tx:21.70  that they are little could see attraction there. Treachery to the  Son of God is the defense of those who do not identify with him. And
Tx:21.71 No one believes the  Son of God is powerless. And those who see themselves as helpless
Tx:21.71  who see themselves as helpless must believe that they are not the  Son of God. What can they be except his enemy? And what can they do
Tx:21.71  and afraid, alone and not communicating, fearful the power of the  Son of God will strike them dead and raising up their helplessness
Tx:21.84  can be given only those who wish for constancy. The power of the  Son of God's desire remains the proof that he is wrong who sees
Tx:22.4  becomes apparent. Here is the golden circle where you recognize the  Son of God. For what is born into a holy relationship can never end.
Tx:22.13 Be certain God did not entrust His  Son to the unworthy. Nothing but what is part of Him is worthy of
Tx:22.24  we have seen many times before. Only if it were possible the  Son of God could leave his Father's Mind, make himself different, and
Tx:22.25  and with a will opposed to His. For only if you would believe His  Son could be His enemy does it seem possible that what you made is
Tx:22.61 Who can attack the  Son of God and not attack his Father? How can God's Son be weak and
Tx:22.61  can attack the Son of God and not attack his Father? How can God's  Son be weak and frail and easily destroyed unless his Father is? You
Tx:22.61  see that this is your attempt because you think the Father and the  Son are separate. And you must think that they are separate because
Tx:22.62  be possible to attack a part of the creation without the whole, the  Son without the Father, and to attack another without yourself or
Tx:22.64  relationship is a reflection of the union of the Creator and His  Son. From loving minds there is no separation. And every thought in
Tx:23.5 Let us not let littleness lead God's  Son into temptation. His glory is beyond it, measureless and timeless
Tx:23.10  all unknown. He loves you perfectly, completely, and eternally. The  Son of God at war with his Creator is a condition as ridiculous as
Tx:23.11  is kept apart. The war against yourself was undertaken to teach the  Son of God that he is not himself and not his Father's Son. For this,
Tx:23.11  to teach the Son of God that he is not himself and not his Father's  Son. For this, the memory of his Father must be forgotten. It is
Tx:23.16  away all trace of the belief in sin that keeps God homeless and His  Son with Him. You are not strangers in the house of God. Welcome your
Tx:23.22  powerless to overcome. Sin cannot be remitted, being the belief the  Son of God can make mistakes for which his own destruction becomes
Tx:23.23  what this seems to do to the relationship between the Father and the  Son. Now it appears that they can never be one again. For one must
Tx:23.23  is one of opposition, just as the separate aspects of the  Son meet only to conflict but not to join. One becomes weak, the
Tx:23.23  God and of each other now appears as sensible, made real by what the  Son of God has done both to himself and his Creator. The arrogance on
Tx:23.24  about the truth of what has been established for His belief. His  Son can tell Him this, and He has but the choice whether to take his
Tx:23.25  it and to Whom appeal is useless. Nor can salvation lie within the  Son, whose every aspect seems to be at war with Him and justified in
Tx:23.26  outcome. And God Himself seems to be siding with it to overcome His  Son. Think not the ego will enable you to find escape from what it
Tx:23.33  appear! Give thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who saved the  Son of God for fear and death!
Tx:23.48  from one another. So will they be to those who see God's  Son a body. For it is not the body that is like the Son's Creator.
Tx:23.48  that is like the Son's Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be the  Son of Life. How can a body be extended to hold the universe? Can it
Tx:23.49  His function with a body. He gave the function to create unto His  Son because it is His own. It is not sinful to believe the function
Tx:23.49  it is His own. It is not sinful to believe the function of the  Son is murder, but it is insanity. What is the same can have no
Tx:23.49  and what is His must be His Son's as well. Either the Father and the  Son are murderers or neither is. Life makes not death, creating like
Tx:23.50  the love of God. It cannot yet assume the holy function God gave His  Son, for your forgiveness of one another is not complete as yet, and
Tx:23.52  you, and no illusion can attack the peace of God together with His  Son.
Tx:23.53  The body stands between the Father and the Heaven He created for His  Son because it has no purpose.
Tx:24.1  God does not wait upon illusions to let Him be Himself. No more His  Son. They are. And what illusion that idly seems to drift between
Tx:24.5  reality of God's creation and with the grandeur which He gave His  Son. What else could justify attack? For who could hate someone whose
Tx:24.14  the “creator” who creates unlike the Father and which made His  Son like to itself and not like unto Him. His “special” sons are
Tx:24.17 The shining radiance of the  Son of God—so like his Father that the memory of Him springs
Tx:24.17  memory of Him springs instantly to mind. And with this memory, the  Son remembers his own creations, as like to him as he is to his
Tx:24.19  that he may return it unto you. It is not God Who has condemned His  Son. But only you, to save his specialness and kill his Self.
Tx:24.21  would not keep one part of what He is unto Himself, not given to His  Son but kept for Him alone. And it is this you fear, for if He is not
Tx:24.21  it is this you fear, for if He is not special, then He willed His  Son be like Him, and your brother is like you. Not special, but
Tx:24.24  seem possible God made the body as the prison-house which keeps His  Son from Him. For it demands a special place God cannot enter and a
Tx:24.29 Without foundation nothing is secure. Would God have left His  Son in such a state, where safety has no meaning? No, His Son is
Tx:24.29  left His Son in such a state, where safety has no meaning? No, His  Son is safe, resting on Him. It is your specialness that is attacked
Tx:24.31  of life, of love and holiness, the perfect Father of a perfect  Son, for your illusions of your specialness. Here is the hell you
Tx:24.33  of specialness will yet be free. Such is the Will of God and of His  Son. Would God condemn Himself to hell and to damnation? And do you
Tx:24.33  that he holds out for your forgiveness. God asks your mercy on His  Son and on Himself. Deny them not. They ask of you but that your will
Tx:24.47  in your completion is His Own. He Who willed not to be without His  Son could never will that you be brotherless. And would He give a
Tx:24.50 Without you there would be a lack in God, a Heaven incomplete, a  Son without a Father. There could be no universe and no reality. For
Tx:24.51  began and as He knows you still. God changes not His Mind about His  Son with passing circumstance, which has no meaning in eternity where
Tx:24.52 Forget not that the healing of God's  Son is all the world is for. That is the only purpose the Holy Spirit
Tx:24.52  in it and thus the only one it has. Until you see the healing of the  Son as all you wish to be accomplished by the world, by time, and all
Tx:24.52  in all temptation to perceive what is not there and all belief God's  Son can suffer pain because he sees himself as he is not.
Tx:24.57  condemnation along with you. And both shall see God's glory in His  Son, whom you mistook as flesh and bound to laws that have no power
Tx:24.62  the hint of threat, or anything but deepest reverence. This is your  son, beloved of you as you are to your Father. Yet it stands in place
Tx:24.62  to your Father. Yet it stands in place of your creations, who are  son to you, that you might share the Fatherhood of God, not snatch it
Tx:24.62  share the Fatherhood of God, not snatch it from Him. What is this  son that you have made to be your strength? What is this child of
Tx:24.62  And where are they, now that the host of God has found another  son which he prefers to them?
Tx:24.68 A co-creator with the Father must have a  Son. Yet must this Son have been created like Himself. A perfect
Tx:24.68 A co-creator with the Father must have a Son. Yet must this  Son have been created like Himself. A perfect being, all-encompassing
Tx:24.71  it evil. Yet your specialness whispers, “Here is my own beloved  son, in whom I am well pleased.” Thus does the “son” become the means
Tx:24.72  and no encounter. One do you see outside yourself, your own beloved  son. The other rests within, His Father's Son, within your brother as
Tx:24.72  yourself, your own beloved son. The other rests within, His Father's  Son, within your brother as he is in you. Their difference does not
Tx:24.72  and separates each from all aspects with a different purpose. The  Son of God retains His Father's Will. The son of man perceives an
Tx:24.72  a different purpose. The Son of God retains His Father's Will. The  son of man perceives an alien will and wishes it were so. And thus
Tx:25.2  Him manifest. And thus they do not recognize Him where He is. The  son of man is not the risen Christ. Yet does the Son of God abide
Tx:25.2  where He is. The son of man is not the risen Christ. Yet does the  Son of God abide exactly where he is and walks with him within his
Tx:25.7  with a life apart from His. His Life is manifest in you who are His  Son. Each aspect of Himself is framed in holiness and perfect purity,
Tx:25.8  the truth may reach to you through what you understand. Father and  Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join as one in
Tx:25.9  lies. Because His purpose still is one with both the Father and the  Son, He knows the Will of God and what you really will. But this is
Tx:25.20  masterpiece? What could He do but offer thanks to you who love His  Son as He does? Would He not make known to you His love if you but
Tx:25.20  gift to you. And He is glad and thankful when you thank His perfect  Son for being what he is. And all His thanks and gladness shine on
Tx:25.21  never sinned. Give then what He has given you that you may see His  Son as one and thank his Father as He thanks you. Nor believe that
Tx:25.21  you. And give the Holy Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the  Son alike. Nothing has power over you except His Will and yours, who
Tx:25.24  the world where this reflection is, is real at all. Only because His  Son believes it is, and from His Son's belief He could not let
Tx:25.26  universe as God created it, but in some form adapted to the need the  Son of God believes he has. Corrected error is the error's end. And
Tx:25.26  error is the error's end. And thus has God protected still His  Son, even in error. There is another purpose in the world that error
Tx:25.31 The  Son of God could never sin, but he can wish for what would hurt him.
Tx:25.33  of rejoicing and of joy. Even in Heaven does this law obtain. The  Son of God creates to bring him joy, sharing his Father's purpose in
Tx:25.36  for you. What aim can supersede the Will of God and of His  Son that Heaven be restored to him for whom it was created as his
Tx:25.37  desire to attack is gone, and so there is no reason to perceive the  Son of God as other than he is. The need for guilt is gone because it
Tx:25.38  to deserve the wish and leave him innocent? And who would see the  Son of God as innocent and wish him dead? Christ stands before you
Tx:25.40 The  Son of God asks only this of you—that you return to him what is his
Tx:25.42 Against the hatred that the  Son of God may cherish toward himself is God believed to be without
Tx:25.49  you. All that you made can serve salvation easily and well. The  Son of God can make no choice the Holy Spirit cannot employ on his
Tx:25.49  light, you see it as your special function in the plan to save the  Son of God from all attack and let him understand that he is safe, as
Tx:25.53  is to deny your Father's sanity and yours. For God and His beloved  Son do not think differently. And it is the agreement of their
Tx:25.53  differently. And it is the agreement of their thought that makes the  Son a co-creator with the mind Whose Thought created him. And if he
Tx:25.53  one thought opposed to truth, he has decided he is not his Father's  Son because the Son is mad, and sanity must lie apart from both the
Tx:25.53  to truth, he has decided he is not his Father's Son because the  Son is mad, and sanity must lie apart from both the Father and the
Tx:25.53  Son is mad, and sanity must lie apart from both the Father and the  Son. This you believe. Think not that this belief depends upon the
Tx:25.53  believes this to be true. Sin is not real because the Father and the  Son are not insane. This world is meaningless because it rests on
Tx:25.54  And one in which nothing is contradicted that would lead the  Son of God to sanity and joy. Nothing attests to death and cruelty,
Tx:25.55  of what you are. And each reflects a view of what the Father and the  Son must be to make that viewpoint meaningful and sane.
Tx:25.56  free of place and time and all that you believe must limit you. The  Son of God cannot be bound by time nor place nor anything God did not
Tx:25.58  function in the hope of peace than could the Father overlook His  Son and pass him by in careless thoughtlessness.
Tx:25.62  you share it. Not for you alone but for the Self which is the  Son of God. He cannot lose, for if he could, the loss would be his
Tx:25.72  is richer made by each one you accept. And God rejoices as His  Son receives what loving justice knows to be his due. For love and
Tx:25.72  they are the same does mercy stand at God's right hand and give the  Son of God the power to forgive himself of sin.
Tx:25.73  recognize it not. God knows of no injustice. He would not allow His  Son be judged by those who seek his death and could not see his worth
Tx:25.73  him by you. Yet God ensured that justice would be done unto the  Son He loves and would protect from all unfairness you might seek to
Tx:25.75  the power of love and justice if you understand it is impossible the  Son of God could merit vengeance. You need not perceive in every
Tx:25.75  And so the Holy Spirit's special function has been fulfilled. God's  Son has found a witness unto his sinlessness and not his sin. How
Tx:25.77  joyous and complete in every way, as God appointed for His holy  Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit
Tx:25.77  For only love is just and can perceive what justice must accord the  Son of God. Let love decide and never fear that you in your
Tx:25.79  [for you] in Heaven, where all of the treasures given to God's  Son are kept for him and offered anyone who but holds out his hand in
Tx:25.80  one at least is seen unfairly. Thus is justice not accorded to the  Son of God. When anyone is seen as losing, he has been condemned. And
Tx:25.84 Salvation cannot seek to help God's  Son be more unfair than he has sought to be. If miracles, the Holy
Tx:26.4  and you. What greater sacrifice could be demanded than that God's  Son perceive himself without his Father? And his Father be without
Tx:26.4  perceive himself without his Father? And his Father be without His  Son? Yet every sacrifice demands that they be separate and without
Tx:26.4  sacrifice is asked of anyone. What witness to the wholeness of God's  Son is seen within a world of separate bodies, however much he
Tx:26.7  your eyes and ears bear witness to the death of God and of His holy  Son, think not that you have power to make of them what God willed
Tx:26.7  power to make of them what God willed not they be. In Heaven God's  Son is not imprisoned in a body nor is sacrificed in solitude to sin.
Tx:26.8  sacrifice and loss. God's justice rests in gentleness upon His  Son and keeps him safe from all injustices the world would lay upon
Tx:26.9  What is the Holy Spirit's special function but to release the holy  Son of God from the imprisonment he made to keep himself from
Tx:26.13  all errors. Every problem is an error. It does injustice to the  Son of God and therefore is not true. The Holy Spirit does not
Tx:26.13  They have no properties to Him. They are mistakes from which the  Son of God is suffering, but needlessly. And so He takes the thorns
Tx:26.13  be large or little. He makes but one judgment—that to hurt God's  Son must be unfair and therefore is not so.
Tx:26.14  justice is total. There is no such thing as partial justice. If the  Son of God is guilty, then is he condemned, and he deserves no mercy
Tx:26.18  one? He knows of one creation, one reality, one truth, and but one  Son. Nothing conflicts with oneness. How, then, could there be
Tx:26.21 Nothing the  Son of God believes can be destroyed. But what is truth to him must
Tx:26.28  brings no little miracles to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the  Son of God Himself comes to receive each gift that brings him nearer
Tx:26.34  What disappeared too quickly to affect the simple knowledge of the  Son of God can hardly still be there for you to choose to be your
Tx:26.39 Would God allow His  Son to lose his way along a road long since a memory of time gone by?
Tx:26.39  have the power to keep you in a place of death, a vault God's  Son entered an instant, to be instantly restored unto His Father's
Tx:26.40 The  Son that God created is as free as God created him. He was reborn the
Tx:26.45  illusion as your only friend. This is no friendship worthy of God's  Son, nor one with which he could remain content. Yet God has given
Tx:26.48  in truth but in the world of shadows and illusions built on sin. The  Son of God perceives what he would see, because perception is a wish
Tx:26.53  serves to bring the joy this world denies to every aspect of God's  Son where sin was thought to rule. Perhaps you do not see the role
Tx:26.56  There is no sin. And every miracle is possible the instant that the  Son of God perceives his wishes and the Will of God are one.
Tx:26.57 What is the Will of God? He wills His  Son have everything. And this He guaranteed when He created him as
Tx:26.58 Here does the  Son of God ask not too much but far too little. He would sacrifice
Tx:26.60  success. For never will success be possible in trying to deceive the  Son of God.
Tx:26.61  merely shift effects to other forms. And this is not release. God's  Son could never be content with less than full salvation and escape
Tx:26.61  idea of sacrifice. If loss in any form is possible, then is God's  Son made incomplete and not himself. [Nor will he know himself nor
Tx:26.63  brother calls for his release and yours. Heaven is shining on the  Son of God. Deny him not, that you may be released. Each instant is
Tx:26.63  of God. Deny him not, that you may be released. Each instant is the  Son of God reborn, until he chooses not to die again. In every wish
Tx:26.64  in the name of love. To you to whom it has been given to save the  Son of God from crucifixion and from hell and death, all glory be
Tx:26.64  hell and death, all glory be forever. For you have power to save the  Son of God because his Father willed that it be so. And in your hands
Tx:26.67  it not. And by this little gift of truth but let to be itself—the  Son of God allowed to be himself and all creation freed to call upon
Tx:26.83  winter and the freezing cold. And shall the Lord of Heaven and His  Son give less in gratitude for so much more?
Tx:26.84  as host again to Him by Whom it was created. Where He dwells, His  Son dwells with Him, never separate. And They give thanks that They
Tx:26.84  that came to kill. In gentle gratitude do God the Father and the  Son return to what is Theirs and will forever be. Now is the Holy
Tx:26.87  Yet it is you who ask this of yourself in deep injustice to the  Son of God. You have no enemy except yourself, and you are enemy
Tx:26.88  attempts to get? Is it not retribution for your own attack upon the  Son of God you seek? Is it not safer to believe that you are innocent
Tx:26.91 By this do I deny the Presence of the Father and the  Son. And I would rather know of Them than see injustice which Their
Tx:27.1  of God's creation and the Father with the sacrifice of his beloved  Son.
Tx:27.3  need of anything, you but accuse your brother of attack upon God's  Son. You hold a picture of your crucifixion before his eyes that he
Tx:27.18  cry of death and guilt. The ancient calling of the Father to His  Son, and of the Son unto his own, will yet be the last trumpet that
Tx:27.18  and guilt. The ancient calling of the Father to His Son, and of the  Son unto his own, will yet be the last trumpet that the world will
Tx:27.20  sight and his. And laughter will replace your sighs because God's  Son remembered that he is God's Son.
Tx:27.20  replace your sighs because God's Son remembered that he is God's  Son.
Tx:27.53  you for your healing, for He knows it is a gift of love unto His  Son, and therefore is it given unto Him.
Tx:27.73  will. Nothing more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's  Son and made him think that he has lost his innocence, denied his
Tx:27.75  from this dream, the Lord of Heaven will Himself awaken His beloved  Son. Dream of your brother's kindnesses instead of dwelling in your
Tx:27.82  eternity, where all is one, there crept a tiny mad idea at which the  Son of God remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought
Tx:27.85  Perhaps you come in tears, but hear Him say, “My brother, Holy  Son of God, behold your idle dream in which this could occur,” and
Tx:28.8  it was not your Father's Will that He be unremembered by His [only]  Son.
Tx:28.10  Creator cannot understand it is not He Who laid a judgment on His  Son. You would deny Him His effects, yet have they never been denied.
Tx:28.10  yet have they never been denied. There was no time in which His  Son could be condemned for what was causeless and against His Will.
Tx:28.12  that instant is His memory allowed to offer all its treasures to the  Son of God, for whom they have been kept. How gladly does He offer
Tx:28.12  would not be deprived of His effects. The instant's silence that His  Son accepts gives welcome to eternity and Him and lets Them enter
Tx:28.12  lets Them enter where They would abide. For in that instant does the  Son of God do nothing that would make himself afraid.
Tx:28.13  and undone. The stillness speaks in gentle sounds of love the  Son of God remembers from before his own remembering came in between
Tx:28.14 Now is the  Son of God at last aware of present Cause and Its benign effects. Now
Tx:28.15  it with Himself. His memory has not gone by and left a stranded  Son forever on a shore where he can glimpse another shore which he
Tx:28.15  over. He has built the bridge, and it is He Who will transport His  Son across it. Have no fear that He will fail in what He wills. Nor
Tx:28.16  cause a cause is made by its effects; the Father is a father by His  Son. Effects do not create their cause, but they establish its
Tx:28.16  not create their cause, but they establish its causation. Thus, the  Son gives fatherhood to his Creator and receives the gift that he has
Tx:28.16  receives the gift that he has given Him. It is because he is God's  Son that he must also be a father who creates as God created him. The
Tx:28.18 Always in sickness does the  Son of God attempt to make himself his cause and not allow himself to
Tx:28.18  to make himself his cause and not allow himself to be his Father's  Son. For this impossible desire, he does not believe that he is
Tx:28.34  And what are you who live within the world except a picture of the  Son of God in broken pieces, each concealed within a separate and
Tx:28.36  deprived or can deprive. Here is a feast the Father lays before His  Son and shares it equally with him. And in Their sharing there can be
Tx:28.43  left the space between them vacant. And the Father comes to join His  Son the Holy Spirit joined.
Tx:28.44 The Holy Spirit's function is to take the broken picture of the  Son of God and put the pieces into place again. This holy picture,
Tx:28.44  seeds of sickness and of sin. And here the Father will receive His  Son, because His Son was gracious to himself.
Tx:28.44  and of sin. And here the Father will receive His Son, because His  Son was gracious to himself.
Tx:28.45  each little gap that lies between the broken pieces of Your holy  Son. Your holiness, complete and perfect, lies in every one of them.
Tx:28.45  it is recognized as being part of the completed picture of God's  Son! The forms the broken pieces seem to take mean nothing. For the
Tx:28.45  mean nothing. For the whole is in each one. And every aspect of the  Son of God is just the same as every other part.
Tx:28.46  not your brother's dreams but join with him, and where you join His  Son, the Father is. Who seeks for substitutes when he perceives he
Tx:28.46  Your willingness to let illusions go is all the Healer of God's  Son requires. He will place the miracle of healing where the seeds of
Tx:28.59  has made to God, as God has made to him. God keeps His promises; His  Son keeps his. In his creation did his Father say, “You are beloved
Tx:28.59  Be you perfect as Myself, for you can never be apart from Me.” His  Son remembers not that he replied “I will,” though in that promise he
Tx:28.60 God asks for nothing, and His  Son, like Him, need ask for nothing. For there is no lack in him. An
Tx:28.60  has not. A space where God is not, a gap between the Father and the  Son is not the will of either, who have promised to be one. God's
Tx:28.63  for what it did not do. It serves to help the healing of God's  Son, and for this purpose it cannot be sick. It will not join a
Tx:28.66  alone. It is an ark of safety, resting on God's promise that His  Son is safe forever in Himself. What gap can interpose itself between
Tx:28.66  in worth than the extent to which it can be used to liberate God's  Son unto his home. And with this holy purpose is it made a home of
Tx:29.15 Such is the promise of the living God—His  Son have life and every living thing be part of him, and nothing else
Tx:29.21  is perfect and complete? Deny Him not His witness in the dream His  Son prefers to his reality. He must be savior from the dream he made,
Tx:29.23  God's Witness has set forth the gentle way of kindness to God's  Son. Whom you forgive is given power to forgive you your illusions.
Tx:29.24 How holy are you, that the  Son of God can be your savior in the midst of dreams of desolation
Tx:29.31  except a hymn to Heaven rises up to gladden God the Father and the  Son. Where both abide are They remembered both. And where They are is
Tx:29.32  in the might of its Creator; nothing can intrude upon the sacred  Son of God within. Here is the role the Holy Spirit gives to you who
Tx:29.32  Here is the role the Holy Spirit gives to you who wait upon the  Son of God and would behold him waken and be glad. He is a part of
Tx:29.32  glad. He is a part of you, and you of him because he is his Father's  Son and not for any purpose you may see in him. Nothing is asked of
Tx:29.33 This sacred  Son of God is like yourself—the mirror of his Father's love for
Tx:29.34  in all creation but the shining glory of His gift to you. Behold His  Son, His perfect gift in whom his Father shines forever and to whom
Tx:29.35  not give in minds that can direct the hand to bless and lead God's  Son unto his Father's house. Would you not want to be a friend to
Tx:29.39 Swear not to die, you holy  Son of God! You make a bargain that you cannot keep. The Son of Life
Tx:29.39  you holy Son of God! You make a bargain that you cannot keep. The  Son of Life cannot be killed. He is immortal as his Father. What he
Tx:29.39  return. Where time has set an end is not where the eternal is. God's  Son can never change by what men made of him. He will be as he was
Tx:29.41  seeming sway is now restored the function God established for His  Son in full awareness. Time can set no end to its fulfillment nor its
Tx:29.42  kill your body only if you think that it was made to crucify God's  Son. For even though it was a dream of death, you need not let it

Tx:29.45  form appears to be outside himself. Yet does he seek to kill God's  Son within and prove that he is victor over him. This is the purpose
Tx:29.57  God, forever given to all living things, give way to chaos, and the  Son of God, as perfect, sinless and as loving as his Father, come to
Tx:29.60  One. Who can have more, and who be given less? In Heaven would the  Son of God but laugh if idols could intrude upon his peace. It is for
Tx:29.61  life and seek for power in the powerless. What happened to the holy  Son of God that this could be his wish—to let himself fall lower
Tx:29.61  that dream was Heaven changed to hell, and God made enemy unto His  Son.
Tx:29.62 How can God's  Son awaken from the dream? It is a dream of judgment. So must he
Tx:29.63  the dream from which they come. Judgment is an injustice to God's  Son, and it is justice that who judges him will not escape the
Tx:29.68  which never left the altar which abides forever deep within the  Son of God. And when he hears this song again, he knows he never
Tx:30.34  Unless you do your will, you are not free. And would God leave His  Son without what he has chosen for himself? God but ensured that you
Tx:30.34  be reminded of His love and learn your will. God would not have His  Son made prisoner to what he does not want. He joins with you in
Tx:30.39  form can take the place of all the love in the divinity of God the  Son? What idol can make two of what is one? And can the limitless be
Tx:30.41  no separate person and no separate thing the power to complete the  Son of God. What idol can be called upon to give the Son of God what
Tx:30.41  to complete the Son of God. What idol can be called upon to give the  Son of God what he already has?
Tx:30.42 Completion is the function of God's  Son. He has no need to seek for it at all. Beyond all idols stands
Tx:30.48  sky, no changeless star, and no reality. The mind of Heaven's  Son in Heaven is, for there the mind of Father and Son joined in
Tx:30.48  mind of Heaven's Son in Heaven is, for there the mind of Father and  Son joined in creation which can have no end. You have not two
Tx:30.48  The star shines still; the sky has never changed. But you, the holy  Son of God Himself, are unaware of your reality.
Tx:30.53  they are not there. Yet this is equally forgotten in attack. God's  Son needs no defense against his dreams. His idols do not threaten
Tx:30.54 —you do not want whatever you believe an idol gives. For thus the  Son of God declares that he is free of idols. And thus is he free.
Tx:30.56  and then its unreality is plain. Dreams are for nothing. And the  Son of God can have no need of them. They offer him no single thing
Tx:30.60  final step is God's because it is but God Who could create a perfect  Son and share His Fatherhood with him. No one outside of Heaven knows
Tx:30.60  because its purpose is forgiveness, not idolatry. And so is Heaven's  Son prepared to be himself, and to remember that the Son of God knows
Tx:30.60  so is Heaven's Son prepared to be himself, and to remember that the  Son of God knows everything his Father understands and understands it
Tx:30.62  are, forgiveness washes joyfully away. Yet God need not create His  Son again that what is his be given back to him. The gap between your
Tx:30.62  gap between your brother and yourself was never there. And what the  Son of God knew in creation, he must know again.
Tx:30.63  the Father is remembered. For He must be unremembered till His  Son has reached beyond forgiveness to the love of God. Yet is the
Tx:30.76  not escape all guilt, but only some of it. You must forgive God's  Son entirely. Or you will keep an image of yourself that is not whole
Tx:30.76  cannot be appearances which have replaced the truth about God's  Son.
Tx:30.78 God's  Son is perfect, or he cannot be God's Son. Nor will you know him if
Tx:30.78 God's Son is perfect, or he cannot be God's  Son. Nor will you know him if you think he does not merit the escape
Tx:30.79 I thank you, Father, for your perfect  Son, and in his glory will I see my own.
Tx:30.81  no effects. But what you see as having power to make an idol of the  Son of God you will not pardon. For he has become to you a graven
Tx:30.81  a sign of death. Is this your savior? Is his Father wrong about His  Son? Or have you been deceived in him who has been given you to heal,
Tx:30.92  miracles has not been given freedom to bestow His gifts upon God's  Son. When he is tempted, he denies reality. And he becomes the
Tx:31.4  one strange lesson, powerful enough to render God forgotten and His  Son an alien to himself, in exile from the home where God Himself
Tx:31.4  God Himself established him. You who have taught yourselves the  Son of God is guilty, say not that you cannot learn the simple things
Tx:31.6  senseless noise of sounds which have no meaning? God willed not His  Son forget Him. And the power of His Will is in the Voice that speaks
Tx:31.7  surely from its source. The certain outcome of the lesson that God's  Son is guilty is the world you see. It is a world of terror and
Tx:31.7  reflects the love of God is stronger still. And you will learn God's  Son is innocent and see another world.
Tx:31.8 The outcome of the lesson that God's  Son is guiltless is a world in which there is no fear and everything
Tx:31.9  with all the certainty with which He knows His love. But only if His  Son is innocent can He be Love. For God were fear indeed if he whom
Tx:31.9  he whom He created innocent could be a slave to guilt. God's perfect  Son remembers his creation. But in guilt he has forgotten what he
Tx:31.10 The fear of God results as surely from the lesson that His  Son is guilty as God's love must be remembered when he learns his
Tx:31.21  thoughts. Forget the dismal lessons that you learned about this  Son of God who calls to you. Christ calls to all with equal
Tx:31.21  answer from the one He gave when God appointed Him His only  Son.
Tx:31.42  escape from what you are. For God is merciful and did not let His  Son abandon Him. For what He is, be thankful, for in that is your
Tx:31.44  at all. It is an idol, made to take the place of your reality as  Son of God. The concept of the self the world would teach is not the
Tx:31.66 You who believe that you can choose to see the  Son of God as you would have him be, forget not that no concept of
Tx:31.77  the unremembered and the not yet born. For God has given you His  Son to save from every concept that he ever held.
Tx:31.78  while you wish to stay in hell, how could you be the savior of the  Son of God? How would you know his holiness while you see him apart
Tx:31.82  them forgiveness with his own. Can you to whom God says, “Release My  Son!” be tempted not to listen when you learn that it is you for whom
Tx:31.83  in all its forms wherever it occurs. It would persuade the holy  Son of God he is a body, born in what must die, unable to escape its

Tx:31.90 I am as God created me. His  Son can suffer nothing. And I am His Son.
Tx:31.90 I am as God created me. His Son can suffer nothing. And I am His  Son.
Tx:31.92  disappear as mists before the sun. A miracle has come to heal God's  Son and close the door upon his dreams of weakness, opening the way
W1:20.3  purpose? And can the world be saved if you are not? God has one  Son, and he is the resurrection and the life. His Will is done
W1:37.1  And he is entitled to everything because it is his birthright as a  Son of God.
W1:38.1  is totally unlimited in its power because it establishes you as a  Son of God, at one with the Mind of his Creator. Through your
W1:39.4  it? God does not know unholiness. Can it be He does not know His  Son?
W1:40.3  then add several of the attributes which you associate with being a  Son of God, applying them to yourself. One practice period might, for
W1:40.4 I am blessed as a  Son of God. I am happy, peaceful, loving, and contented.
W1:40.6 I am blessed as a  Son of God. I am calm, quiet, assured, and confident.
W1:40.7  is available, merely telling yourself that you are blessed as a  Son of God will do.
W1:43.2  of what never was, perception has a mighty purpose. Made by the  Son of God for an unholy purpose, it must become the means for the
W1:43.2  close to God's. Healed perception becomes the means by which the  Son of God forgives his brother and thus forgives himself.
W1:45.11  an altar dedicated in Heaven itself to God the Father and God the  Son. For such is the place you are trying to reach. You will probably
W1:46.11 I cannot be guilty because I am a  Son of God. I have already been forgiven. No fear is possible in a

W1:50.2  disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the  Son of God.
W1:50.4  no idle and foolish thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the  Son of God. Such is the Kingdom of Heaven. Such is the resting place
W1:54.5  nothing. Everything I think or say or do touches all the universe. A  Son of God cannot think or speak or act in vain. He cannot be alone
W1:55.2  disaster, and death. This cannot be what God created for His beloved  Son. The very fact that I see such things is proof that I do not
W1:55.2  that I do not understand God. Therefore I also do not understand His  Son. What I see tells me that I do not know who I am. I am determined
W1:55.3  is anything but a reflection of the Love of God and the love of His  Son. It is my own attack thoughts which give rise to this picture. My
W1:57.3  I have deluded myself into believing it is possible to imprison the  Son of God. I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer
W1:57.3  I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer want. The  Son of God must be forever free. He is as God created him, and not
W1:57.4  are the opposite of truth. I see the world as a prison for God's  Son. It must be, then, that the world is really a place where he can
W1:57.4  would look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place where the  Son of God finds his freedom.
W1:58.6 [40] I am blessed as a  Son of God. Herein lies my claim to all good and only good. I am
W1:58.6  Herein lies my claim to all good and only good. I am blessed as a  Son of God. All good things are mine because God intended them for

W1:60.5  is the only voice and the only guide that has been given to His  Son.
W1:60.6  the world for me to see. As I forgive, His love reminds me that His  Son is sinless. And as I look upon the world with the vision He has
W1:60.6  the world with the vision He has given me, I remember that I am His  Son.
W1:61.1 Who is the light of the world except God's  Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the truth about yourself.
W1:61.10  light of the world. God has built His plan for the salvation of His  Son on you.
W1:62.3  and pain. It will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His  Son to your awareness.
W1:63.2 You are indeed the light of the world with such a function. The  Son of God looks to you for his redemption. It is yours to give him,
W1:63.2  desire in its place or you will forget your function and leave the  Son of God in hell. This is no idle request that is being asked of
W1:63.6 Remember that God's  Son looks to you for his salvation. And who but your Self must be His
W1:63.6  looks to you for his salvation. And who but your Self must be His  Son?
W1:64.1  for forgetting it. It is the temptation to abandon God and His  Son, taking on a physical appearance. It is this which the body's
W1:64.4  salvation awaits your forgiveness, because through it does the  Son of God escape from all illusions and thus from all temptation.
W1:64.4  of God escape from all illusions and thus from all temptation. The  Son of God is you. Only by fulfilling the function given you by God
W1:67.1  This is why God appointed you as the world's savior. This is why the  Son of God looks to you for his salvation. He is saved by what you
W1:67.8  the ego tells you about yourself with the simple truth about the  Son of God. You were created by Love like Itself.
W1:69.2  We are trying to let the veil be lifted and see the tears of God's  Son disappear in the sunlight.
W1:72.4  with him and judging them as one. Herein is God attacked, for if His  Son is only a body, so must He be as well. A creator wholly unlike
W1:73.3  each exchange. Can such a world have been created by the will the  Son of God shares with his Father? Did God create disaster for His
W1:73.3  Son of God shares with his Father? Did God create disaster for His  Son? Creation is the will of Both together. Would God create a world
W1:73.11 You will succeed today, the time appointed for the release of the  Son of God from hell and from all idle wishes. His will is now
W1:74.6  My will is God's My will and God's are one. God wills peace for His  Son.
W1:76.11  About the endless joy He offers you. About His yearning for His only  Son, created as His channel for creation, denied to Him by his belief
W1:76.14  It is our acknowledgment that God is our Father and that His  Son is saved.
W1:78.2  but lay it down and gently lift our eyes in silence to behold the  Son of God.
W1:78.3  every grievance is a block to sight, and as it lifts, you see the  Son of God where he has always been. He stands in light, but you were
W1:78.4 Today we will attempt to see God's  Son. We will not let ourselves be blind to him; we will not look upon
W1:78.6  crossed your mind already. He will be the one of whom we ask God's  Son be shown to us. Through seeing him behind the grievances that we
W1:78.8 Then let us ask of Him Who knows this  Son of God in his reality and truth that we may look on him a
W1:78.8  given unto us. We ask Him in the holy Name of God and of His  Son, as holy as Himself:
W1:78.10  The Holy Spirit leans from him to you, seeing no separation in God's  Son. And what you see through Him will free you both.
W1:87.7  in accordance with the Will of God. It is God's Will you are His  Son, [name], and mine as well. This is part of God's Will for me,
W1:92.9  to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self, His  Son, is waiting now to meet itself again and be as one.
W1:93.5 The self you made is not the  Son of God. Therefore, this self does not exist at all. And anything
W1:93.5  It is unreal and nothing more than that. It does not battle with the  Son of God. It does not hurt him nor attack his peace. It has not
W1:94.2  You are as God created you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory of the  Son of God. You stand in light, strong in the sinlessness in which
W1:94.4 I am as God created me. I am His  Son eternally.
W1:94.5 Now try to reach the  Son of God in you. This is the Self that never sinned nor made an
W1:94.8 I am as God created me. I am His  Son eternally.
W1:94.10 You are as God created you. You are His  Son eternally.
W1:95.2  oneness in you, for it is blind. It does not understand you are the  Son of God, for it is senseless and understands nothing.
W1:95.16  Self, united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God's  Son, One Self with one Creator and one goal—to bring awareness of
W1:95.17  all there is and all that there will be. You are One Self, the holy  Son of God, united with your brothers in this Self, united with your
W1:95.18  away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the  Son of God Himself, sinless as its Creator, with His strength within
W1:96.7  it can. Yet would you have God's plan for the release of His dear  Son bring pain to him and fail to set him free?
W1:97.2 We state again the truth about your Self, the holy  Son of God who rests in you whose mind has been restored to sanity.
W1:97.9 Spirit am I, a holy  Son of God, free of all limits, safe and healed and whole, free to
W1:99.11  Will your mind be one with His. It is God's Will that He has but one  Son. It is God's Will that His one Son is you.
W1:99.11  is God's Will that He has but one Son. It is God's Will that His one  Son is you.
W1:99.20  may find Its rightful place in you and show you that you are the  Son of God.
W1:100.1 Just as God's  Son completes his Father, so your part in it completes your Father's
W1:100.6  asks that you be happy so the world can see how much He loves His  Son and wills no sorrow rises to abate his joy; no fear besets him to
W1:101.1  must think it so while you believe that sin is real and that God's  Son can sin. If sin is real, then punishment is just and cannot be
W1:101.4  your bitter enemy, the curse of God upon you who have crucified His  Son.
W1:101.5  cherishes no lingering belief that you have made a devil of God's  Son.
W1:102.7  here is happiness. You have no need to be less loving to God's  Son than He Whose Love created him as loving as Himself. Besides
W1:105.6  You will understand that what completes Him must complete His  Son as well. He cannot give through loss. No more can you. Receive
W1:106.4  dream instead and last forever, for they come from God to His dear  Son, whose other name is you.
W1:106.5  you. He needs your voice to speak to them, for who could reach God's  Son except his Father calling through your Self?
W1:109.2  will come to linger for a while. Here is the thought in which the  Son of God is born again, to recognize himself.
W1:110.7 I am as God created me. His  Son can suffer nothing. And I am His Son.
W1:110.7 I am as God created me. His Son can suffer nothing. And I am His  Son.
W1:110.8  in your mind, try to discover in your mind the Self Who is the holy  Son of God Himself. Seek Him within you Who is Christ in you, the Son
W1:110.8  Son of God Himself. Seek Him within you Who is Christ in you, the  Son of God and brother to the world—the savior who has been forever
W1:110.9  you. Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the  Son of God instead of what He is be worshiped not today. Deep in your
W1:110.11  we remember Him. And we will say, that we may be reminded of His  Son, our holy Self, the Christ in each of us:
W1:R3.12  you in the business of the day and make it holy, worthy of God's  Son, acceptable to God and to your Self.
W1:114.2 [97] I am Spirit. I am the  Son of God. No body can contain my spirit nor impose on me a
W1:116.3  Will for happiness for me. I share my Father's Will for me, His  Son. What He has given me is all I want. What He has given me is all
W1:118.3  the mighty Voice of truth itself assure me that I am God's perfect  Son.
W1:119.2  I am mistaken when I think I can be hurt in any way. I am God's  Son whose Self rests safely in the Mind of God.
W1:120.3 [110] I am as God created me. I am God's  Son. Today I lay aside all sick illusions of myself and let my Father
W1:121.14  I am mortal, fallible, and full of sin and know I am the perfect  Son of God.
W1:122.3  look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. It lets you recognize the  Son of God and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that
W1:122.6  you will receive. There is no plan but this for the salvation of the  Son of God. Let us today rejoice that this is so, for here we have an
W1:123.3  without change. Give thanks as well that you are changeless, for the  Son He loves is changeless as Himself. Be grateful you are saved. Be
W1:123.3  gifts and petty judgments of the one whom God established as His  Son.
W1:123.8  to think of Him and give Him thanks for everything He gave His  Son that he might rise above the world remembering his Father and his
W1:125.2  you. No other means can save it, for God's plan is simply this: the  Son of God is free to save himself, given the Word of God to be his
W1:125.3  stand apart from all the judgments which the world has laid upon the  Son of God. It knows him not. Today we will not listen to the world,
W1:125.4 Hear, holy  Son of God, your Father speak. His Voice would give to you His holy
W1:125.5  cherish the illusions which you hold about yourself. He knows His  Son and wills that he remain as part of Him regardless of his dreams,
W1:125.8  with no separation nor division in the single Mind of Father and of  Son. In quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him tell you God has
W1:125.8  to your Self today, and let Him tell you God has never left His  Son, and you have never left your Self.
W1:125.9  and listen. You will hear the Word in which the Will of God the  Son joins in His Father's Will, at one with It, with no illusions
W1:126.7  with empty gestures and evaluate such petty gifts as worthy of His  Son? Salvation is a better gift than this, and true forgiveness, as
W1:127.1  a person or a circumstance. It is the Heart of God, and also of His  Son.
W1:127.2  have to judge between the righteous and the sinner and perceive the  Son of God in separate parts.
W1:127.3  power holding everything as one, the link between the Father and the  Son which holds them both forever as the same.
W1:129.4  remains unlimited for all eternity. And God Himself speaks to His  Son as His Son speaks to Him. Their language has no words, for what
W1:129.4  unlimited for all eternity. And God Himself speaks to His Son as His  Son speaks to Him. Their language has no words, for what they say
W1:131.5  No one can fail to want this goal and reach it in the end. God's  Son cannot seek vainly, though he try to force delay, deceive
W1:131.7  or in the future. Yet this cannot be, if it is where God wills His  Son to be. How could the Will of God be in the past or yet to happen?
W1:131.9  conflict. Nor is His creation split in two. How could it be His  Son could be in hell when God Himself established him in Heaven?
W1:131.10 Today we will not choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the  Son of God make time to take away the Will of God? He thus denies
W1:131.17  that day has come. Today God keeps His ancient promise to His holy  Son, as does His Son remember his to Him. This is a day of gladness,
W1:131.17  Today God keeps His ancient promise to His holy Son, as does His  Son remember his to Him. This is a day of gladness, for we come to
W1:132.13  but as God in truth. God shares His Fatherhood with you who are His  Son, for He makes no distinctions in what is Himself and what is
W1:132.13  creates is not apart from Him, and nowhere does the Father end, the  Son begin as something separate from Him.
W1:132.14  is a thought apart from God and made to separate the Father and the  Son and break away a part of God Himself and thus destroy His
W1:135.5  little life? What but the body falters and must fail to serve the  Son of God as worthy host?
W1:135.29  And I would keep it holy. I will not defend myself, because the  Son of God needs no defense against the truth of his reality.
W1:136.10  more frail than hell, and God's design for the salvation of His  Son opposed by a decision stronger than His Will. His Son is dust,
W1:136.10  of His Son opposed by a decision stronger than His Will. His  Son is dust, the Father incomplete, and chaos sits in triumph on His
W1:137.3  sees the body has no power to attack the universal oneness of God's  Son.
W1:137.15  the world, that sickness may be banished from the mind of God's one  Son, Who is my only Self.
W1:139.9  This does Atonement teach and demonstrates the oneness of God's  Son is unassailed by his belief he knows not what he is. Today accept
W1:139.13  all the foolish cobwebs which the world would weave around the holy  Son of God. And learn the fragile nature of the chains that seem to
W1:140.10  healing which will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the  Son of God. No voice but this can cure. Today we hear a single Voice
W1:R4.4  is. It is this thought by which the Father gave creation to the  Son, establishing the Son as co-creator with Himself. It is this
W1:R4.4  by which the Father gave creation to the Son, establishing the  Son as co-creator with Himself. It is this thought which fully
W1:R4.4  Himself. It is this thought which fully guarantees salvation to the  Son. For in his mind no thoughts can dwell but those his Father
W1:151.7  by such idle witnesses, which merely bear false witness to God's  Son. He recognizes only what God loves, and in the holy light of what
W1:151.9  can the body mean to Him Who knows the glory of the Father and the  Son? What whispers of the ego can He hear? What could convince Him
W1:151.14  joyously proclaim the wholeness and the happiness God wills His  Son as proof of His eternal Love. And as each thought is thus
W1:151.15  as all your thoughts are purified. So are you taught to teach the  Son of God the holy lesson of his sanctity. No one can fail to listen
W1:151.15  fail to listen when you hear the Voice for God give honor to God's  Son. And everyone will share the thoughts with you which He has
W1:152.8  of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the Father and the  Son.
W1:152.9  wholeness—all-encompassing, God's perfect gift to His beloved  Son.
W1:152.10  own. And we accept of Him that which we are and humbly recognize the  Son of God.
W1:152.11 To recognize God's  Son implies as well that all self-concepts have been laid aside and
W1:152.11  arrogance has been perceived. And in humility the radiance of God's  Son, his gentleness, his perfect sinlessness, his Father's Love, his
W1:152.15  frantic thoughts, the truth of God for self-deceptions, and God's  Son for your illusions of yourself.
W1:153.5  the holy peace of God by your defensiveness. For you behold the  Son of God as but a victim to attack by fantasies, by dreams, and by
W1:153.8  to cross our minds, and we mistook the figures in it for the  Son of God, its tiny instant for eternity.
W1:153.13  forever from the pure and holy minds of Heaven's children and the  Son of God. We pause but for a moment more to play our final happy
W1:153.14  in his confused, bewildered memory of this distorted tale. God's  Son can smile at last on learning that it is not true.
W1:154.3  in everything you do that is related to it. God has joined His  Son in this, and thus His Son becomes His messenger of unity with Him.

W1:154.4 It is this joining through the Voice of God of Father and of  Son that sets apart salvation from the world. It is this Voice which

W1:160.7  Son's reality. He does not know of strangers. He is certain of His  Son.

W1:162.6  light is come today to bless the world, for you have recognized the  Son of God, and in your recognition is the world's.

W1:163.4  beneath the headstone death has placed upon the body of the holy  Son of God.

W1:168.4 God loves His  Son. Request Him now to give the means by which this world will
W1:168.6  us He gives and we receive. Such is His Will because He loves His  Son. To Him we pray today, returning but the words He gave to us

W1:169.4  contradict our statement that the revelation of the Father and the  Son as one has been already set. But we have also said the mind
W1:169.6  all thought of time, forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ. The  Son of God has merely disappeared into His Father, as his Father has
W1:169.8  script in His Creator's name and in the name of His Creator's  Son.
W1:R5.8  the way that led him out and now will lead you out with him. God's  Son is crucified until you walk along the road with me.

W1:R5.12  And your wholeness now complete, as God established it. You are His  Son, completing His extension in your own. We practice but an ancient
W1:176.2 [161] Give me your blessing, holy  Son of God. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:177.2 [163] There is no death. The  Son of God is free. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

W1:184.12  answer to the pitiful inheritance you made as fitting tribute to the  Son He loves.
W1:184.14  we use a different name for each awareness of an aspect of God's  Son, we understand that they have but One Name, Which He has given
W1:186.3  you and offers you the perfect trust He holds in you who are His  Son. It does not ask that you be different in any way from what you

W1:186.9 Is this the  Son of God? Could He create such instability and call it Son? He Who
W1:186.9 Is this the Son of God? Could He create such instability and call it  Son? He Who is changeless shares His attributes with His creation.

W1:187.10  one Father, one Creator and one thought, we stand together as one  Son of God. Not separate from Him Who is our Source; not distant from
W1:188.6  And they point surely to their Source where God the Father and the  Son are one.
W1:189.8  simply to allow all obstacles that you have interposed between the  Son and God the Father to be quietly removed forever. God will do His

W1:191.1  what you have done by giving to the world the role of jailer to the  Son of God. What could it be but vicious and afraid, fearful of
W1:191.6 One holy thought like this, and you are free: you are the holy  Son of God Himself. And with this holy thought, you learn as well
W1:191.8 I am the holy  Son of God Himself. I cannot suffer, cannot be in pain; I cannot

W1:191.10  forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark and sinful when God's  Son has come again at last to set it free?
W1:191.12 Then let the  Son of God awaken from his sleep, and opening his holy eyes return
W1:191.13  They die till you accept your own eternal life. You are the holy  Son of God Himself. Remember this and all the world is free. Remember
W1:192.1  that you complete Himself and that your Self shall be His sacred  Son, forever pure as He, of love created and in love preserved,

W1:192.10 Be merciful today. The  Son of God deserves your mercy. It is he who asks that you accept the
W1:193.1  to what He does not understand in that He wills the happiness His  Son inherited of Him be undisturbed, eternal and forever gaining
W1:193.2 God sees no contradictions. Yet His  Son believes he sees them. Thus he has a need for One Who can correct

W1:193.12  you that all pain may disappear and God may be remembered by His  Son?
W1:193.13  thought without correction nor one thorn or nail to hurt His sacred  Son in any way. He would ensure his holy rest remain untroubled and
W1:193.13  God has willed that laughter should replace each one and that His  Son be free again.
W1:194.5  into a holy instant when the light that was kept hidden in God's  Son is freed to bless the world. Now is he free, and all his glory
W1:195.9  for these insane perceptions. God has cared for us and calls us  Son. Can there be more than this?
W1:195.10  which is the Source of all creation. God gives thanks to you, His  Son, for being what you are—His own completion and the source of
W1:196.11  you from illusions in His Love, calling Him Father and yourself His  Son. Pray that the instant may be soon—today. Step back from fear
W1:197.8 Thanks be to you, the holy  Son of God, for as you were created you contain all things within
W1:198.3  with the certainty of God Himself. It is a dream in which the  Son of God awakens to his Self and to his Father, knowing They are
W1:198.7  justified. Yet all are one—a place where death is offered to God's  Son and to his Father. You may think They have accepted, but if you
W1:198.8  How mad to think that you could be condemned and that the holy  Son of God can die! The stillness of your Self remains unmoved,
W1:198.12  the one illusion which proclaims there is no condemnation in God's  Son, and Heaven is remembered instantly; the world forgotten, all its
W1:198.13  vanished from the mind which God forever knows to be His only  Son.
W1:198.14  is his? And who could dream of offering forgiveness to the  Son of Sinlessness Itself, so like to Him Whose Son he is, that to
W1:198.14  forgiveness to the Son of Sinlessness Itself, so like to Him Whose  Son he is, that to behold the Son is to perceive no more and only

W1:198.14  to perceive no more and only know the Father? In this vision of the  Son, so brief that not an instant stands between this single sight
W1:199.8 You are God's  Son. In immortality you live forever. Would you not return your mind
W1:199.8  released with you in it; the world is blessed along with you; God's  Son will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of

W1:200.9  need, nor let him stray forever from his home. The Father calls; the  Son will hear. And that is all there is to what appears to be a world
W1:204.1  Name of God is my inheritance. God's Name reminds me that I am His  Son, not slave to time, unbound by laws which rule the world of sick
W1:206.1  depends on me. I am entrusted with the gifts of God because I am His  Son. And I would give His gifts where He intended them to be. I am
W1:209.1  Love of God is everything I am. The Love of God proclaimed me as His  Son. The Love of God within me sets me free. I am not a body. I am

W1:211.1  silence and in true humility, I seek God's glory to behold it in the  Son whom He created as my Self. I am not a body. I am free. For I am
W1:219.1 [199] I am not a body. I am free. I am God's  Son. Be still, my mind, and think a moment upon this. And then return
W1:219.1  to earth without confusion as to what my Father loves forever as His  Son. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
W2:I.3  He has promised. We have called on Him, and He has promised that His  Son will not remain unanswered when he calls His Name.

W2:I.7  You and rest in confidence upon Your Love, Which will not fail the  Son who calls to You.
W2:I.9 We had a wish that God would fail to have the  Son whom He created for Himself. We wanted God to change Himself and
W2:WF.1  all your sins forgiven. What is sin except a false idea about God's  Son? Forgiveness merely sees its falsity and therefore lets it go.
W2:WF.5  He has saved, whose sinlessness He sees, and whom He honors as the  Son of God.

W2:223.2  the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy  Son are sinless. We would look upon our sinlessness, for guilt
W2:223.2  look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your  Son. And we would not forget You longer. We are lonely here and long
W2:223.2  would return. Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your  Son.
W2:225.1  with fear behind and only peace ahead. How still the way Your loving  Son is led along to You!
W2:227.2  we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left. The  Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The Son of God this day
W2:227.2  never really left. The Son of God this day lays down his dreams. The  Son of God this day comes home again, released from sin and clad in
W2:228.1  He is my Creator and the One Who knows the true condition of His  Son?

W2:230.2  You to find the peace You gave. It is Your will that gave it to Your  Son.
W2:WS.2 The thought of peace was given to God's  Son the instant that his mind had thought of war. There was no need
W2:WS.5  world that freedom is returned, that time is almost over, and God's  Son has but an instant more to wait until his Father is remembered,
W2:232.1  sure of my safety, certain of Your care, and happily aware I am Your  Son.
W2:232.2  reveal all things to you, and be you undismayed because you are His  Son.
W2:234.1  has ever happened to disturb the peace of God the Father and the  Son. This we accept as wholly true today.
W2:235.1  has come to me. And I need but remember that His Love surrounds His  Son and keeps his sinlessness forever perfect to be sure that I am
W2:235.1  to be sure that I am saved and safe forever in His arms. I am the  Son He loves. And I am saved because God in His mercy wills it so.

W2:238.1  I must be steadfast in holiness as well, that You would give Your  Son to me in certainty that He is safe Who still is part of You and
W2:238.2  we pause to think how much our Father loves us. And how dear His  Son, created by His Love, remains to Him Whose Love is made complete

W2:240.1  own illusions of yourself. Let us not be deceived today. We are the  Son of God. There is no fear in us, for we are each a part of Love
W2:240.2 How foolish are our fears! Would You allow Your  Son to suffer? Give us faith today to recognize Your Son and set him

W2:244.1 Your  Son is safe wherever he may be, for You are there with him. He need
W2:245.1  my Father. Let me bring Your peace with me. For I would save Your  Son as is Your Will, that I may come to recognize my Self.

W2:248.1  Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy  Son of God. Now am I ready to accept him back as God created him, and
W2:248.2 Father, my ancient love for You returns and lets me love Your  Son again as well. Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your Love

W2:250.1 Let me behold the  Son of God today and witness to his glory. Let me not try to obscure
W2:250.2 He is Your  Son, my Father. And today I would behold his gentleness instead of my

W2:WIS.3  have an end; eternal life must die. And God Himself has lost the  Son He loves, with but corruption to complete Himself, His Will
W2:WIS.4  to terrify. And yet what sin perceives is but a childish game. The  Son of God may play he has become a body, prey to evil and to guilt,
W2:WIS.5 How long, oh  Son of God, will you maintain the game of sin? Shall we not put away
W2:WIS.5  Would you still hold return to Heaven back? How long, oh holy  Son of God, how long?
W2:252.2 Father, You know my true Identity. Reveal it now to me who am Your  Son, that I may waken to the truth in You and know that Heaven is
W2:253.2 You are the Self Whom You created  Son, creating like Yourself and one with You. My Self, Which rules
W2:255.1  choose to have but peace today. And yet my God assures me that His  Son is like Himself. Let me this day have faith in Him Who says I am
W2:255.1  like Himself. Let me this day have faith in Him Who says I am God's  Son. And let the peace I choose be mine today bear witness to the
W2:255.1  be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He says. God's  Son can have no cares and must remain forever in the peace of Heaven.
W2:255.2 And so, my Father, would I pass this day with You. Your  Son has not forgotten You. The peace You gave him still is in his
W2:260.1  I have not left my Source, remaining part of What created me. Your  Son, my Father, calls on You today. Let me remember You created me.
W2:WIB.1 The body is a fence the  Son of God imagines he has built to separate parts of his Self from
W2:WIB.2 The body will not stay. Yet this he sees as double “safety.” For the  Son of God's impermanence is “proof” his fences work and do the task
W2:WIB.2  And if he did not die, what “proof” is there that God's eternal  Son can be destroyed?
W2:WIB.4 The body is the means by which God's  Son returns to sanity. Though it was made to fence him into hell
W2:WIB.4  has the goal of Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of hell. The  Son of God extends his hand to reach his brother and to help him walk
W2:261.2  home to You today. I choose to be as You created me and find the  Son whom You created as my Self.
W2:262.1 Father, You have one  Son. And it is he that I would look upon today. He is Your one
W2:262.1  I give this one a thousand names, when only one suffices? For Your  Son must bear Your Name, for You created him. Let me not see him as a
W2:262.1  are our Source, eternally united in Your Love, eternally the holy  Son of God.
W2:264.1  and place becomes a meaningless belief. For what surrounds Your  Son and keeps him safe is Love Itself. There is no Source but This,
W2:264.1  without the Love Which holds all things within Itself. Father, Your  Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your own Name today, to be at
W2:266.1  and in them does Christ look back upon me from my Self. Let not Your  Son forget Your holy Name. Let not Your Son forget his holy Source.
W2:266.1  from my Self. Let not Your Son forget Your holy Name. Let not Your  Son forget his holy Source. Let not Your Son forget Your name is his.

W2:270.2  the world through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole, the holy  Son whom God created one.
W2:WIC.1 Christ is God's  Son as He created Him. He is the Self we share, uniting us with one
W2:WIC.4  when forgiveness rests upon the world and peace has come to every  Son of God, what could remain to keep things separate, for what

W2:272.1  illusions bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your  Son? I will accept no less than You have given me. I am surrounded by
W2:272.1  by Your Love, forever still, forever gentle, and forever safe. God's  Son must be as You created him.
W2:273.1  nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His  Son.
W2:273.2  keep? I cannot lose Your gifts to me. And so the peace You gave Your  Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal love for You.
W2:274.1  today I would let all things be as You created them and give Your  Son the honor due his sinlessness, the love of brother to his brother
W2:274.1  where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your  Son will know he is as You created him.
W2:276.1 What is the Word of God? “My  Son is pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did God become the Father
W2:276.1  pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did God become the Father of the  Son He loves, for thus was he created. This the Word His Son did not
W2:276.1  of the Son He loves, for thus was he created. This the Word His  Son did not create with Him because in this His Son was born. Let us
W2:276.1  This the Word His Son did not create with Him because in this His  Son was born. Let us accept His Fatherhood, and all is given us. Deny
W2:277.1 Your  Son is free, my Father. Let me not imagine I have bound him with the
W2:277.2  believe in any laws idolatry would make to hide the freedom of the  Son of God. He is not bound except by his beliefs. Yet what he is, is
W2:277.2  faith in slavery or freedom. He is free, because he is his Father's  Son. And he cannot be bound unless God's Truth can lie and God can
W2:279.1 The end of dreams is promised me because God's  Son is not abandoned by His Love. Only in dreams is there a time when
W2:279.2  Your promises today and give my faith to them. My Father loves the  Son Whom He created as His own. Would You withhold the gifts You gave

W2:282.1  And this the choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the  Son He loves and Who remains my one Reality.
W2:283.1 Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this I call the  Son of God. Yet is creation as it always was, for Your creation is

W2:313.1  which You have kept completely undefiled upon the altar to Your holy  Son, the Self with which I would identify.
W2:315.2  for the many gifts that come to me today and every day from every  Son of God. My brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me. Now
W2:317.2  all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your  Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the sure

W2:320.1 The  Son of God is limitless. There are no limits on his strength, his
W2:320.2  is no limit on Your Will. And so all power has been given to Your  Son.

W2:WICR.3  of all illusions, for creation is the truth. Creation is the holy  Son of God, for in creation is His Will complete in every aspect,
W2:321.1  But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy  Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me. And the way to You
W2:322.1  And every dream serves only to conceal the Self which is God's only  Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One who still abides in Him
W2:323.1 Here is the only “sacrifice” You ask of Your beloved  Son—You ask him to give up all suffering, all sense of loss and
W2:325.1  thoughts a gentle world comes forth, with mercy for the holy  Son of God, to offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while
W2:326.1  all Your attributes abide in me because it is Your will to have a  Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its Effect are
W2:326.1  earth will disappear and separate thoughts unite in glory as the  Son of God.
W2:330.2 Father, Your  Son cannot be hurt. And if we think we suffer, we but fail to know
W2:WIE.3 The  Son of God is egoless. What can he know of madness and the death of

W2:331.1 How foolish, Father, to believe Your  Son could cause himself to suffer! Could he make a plan for his
W2:333.2  alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved  Son.
W2:334.2 I seek but the eternal. For Your  Son can be content with nothing less than this. What then can be his
W2:335.2  one with me and like myself. In him I find my Self, and in Your  Son I find the memory of You as well.
W2:337.1  Love protecting me from harm, to understand my Father loves His  Son, to know I am the Son my Father loves.
W2:337.1  from harm, to understand my Father loves His Son, to know I am the  Son my Father loves.
W2:338.1  of love. He crucified himself. Yet God has planned that His beloved  Son will be redeemed.
W2:338.2  me promises to lead me home, because it holds Your promise to Your  Son.
W2:340.1  freedom I am certain it will bring. This day is holy, for today Your  Son will be redeemed. His suffering is done. For he will hear Your
W2:340.1  achieve this day and what it holds in joy and freedom for Your holy  Son and for the world he made, which is released along with him today.
W2:340.2  for anything but joy and thanks today. Our Father has redeemed His  Son this day! Not one of us but will be saved today. Not one who will
W2:341.1 Father, Your  Son is holy. I am he on whom You smile in love and tenderness so deep
W2:341.1  so perfect that the Lord of Sinlessness conceives us as His  Son, a universe of thought completing Him.
W2:342.1  as You would have it be and as it is. Let me remember that I am Your  Son, and opening the door at last, forget illusions in the blazing
W2:343.1  given unto me forever and forever. As I was created, I remain. Your  Son can make no sacrifice, for he must be complete, having the
W2:343.1  the function of completing You. I am complete because I am Your  Son. I cannot lose, for I can only give. And everything is mine
W2:344.1  alone are real. Thus is the law of love fulfilled. And thus Your  Son arises and returns to You.
W2:344.2  How close the ending of the dream of sin and the redemption of the  Son of God.
W2:345.1 Father, a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your  Son. And every one I give returns to me, reminding me the law of love
W2:346.1  law of Love. And I would find the peace which You created for Your  Son, forgetting all the foolish toys I made as I behold Your glory
W2:347.2  the gentle Voice for God assuring you that He has judged you as the  Son He loves.
W2:350.1 What we forgive becomes a part of us as we perceive ourselves. The  Son of God incorporates all things within himself as You created him.
W2:350.2  from Him, we will indeed be grateful. For as we remember Him, His  Son will be restored to us in the Reality of Love.
W2:WAI.1 I am God's  Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His
W2:WAI.5  we came and which we seek to serve. We bring glad tidings to the  Son of God, who thought he suffered. Now is he redeemed. And as he
W2:351.1 Who is my brother but Your holy  Son? And if I see him sinful, I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son
W2:351.1  holy Son? And if I see him sinful, I proclaim myself a sinner, not a  Son of God, alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this
W2:351.1  and can relinquish. I can also see my brother sinless as Your holy  Son. And with this choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting
W2:354.1 My oneness with the Christ establishes me as Your  Son, beyond the reach of time and wholly free of every law but Yours.
W2:354.1  must I be one with You as well as Him. For who is Christ except Your  Son as You created Him? And what am I except the Christ in me?
W2:355.1  the joy You promised me? For You will keep Your Word You gave Your  Son in exile. I am sure my treasure waits for me, and I need but
W2:355.1  forever. It is You I choose and my Identity along with You. Your  Son would be Himself and know You as his Father and Creator and his
W2:356.1 Father, You promised You would never fail to answer any call Your  Son might make to You. It does not matter where he is, what seems to
W2:356.1  to be his problem, nor what he believes he has become. He is Your  Son, and You will answer him. The miracle reflects Your Love, and
W2:356.1  who is sinless cannot suffer pain. Your Name gives answer to Your  Son because to call Your Name is but to call his own.
W2:357.1  and thus escape the prison house in which I think I live. Your holy  Son is pointed out to me, first in my brother, then in me. Your Voice
W2:357.1  to hear Your Word and give as I receive. And as I look upon Your  Son today, I hear Your Voice instructing me to find the way to You as
W2:358.1  let me not forget Your Love and care, keeping Your promise to Your  Son in my awareness always. Let me not forget myself is nothing, but
W2:360.1  it is Your peace that I would give, receiving it of You. I am Your  Son, forever just as You created me, for the Great Rays remain
W2:360.1  In holiness were we created, and in holiness do we remain. Your  Son is like to You in perfect sinlessness, and with this thought we
W2:FL.5  not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy  Son. We are forgiven now. And we are saved from all the wrath we

song (38)

Tx:12.52  as I am calling you to join with me. Every voice has a part in the  song of redemption, the hymn of gladness and thanksgiving for the
Tx:17.43  of hate in praise of its maker, so is the holy relationship a happy  song of praise to the Redeemer of relationships.
Tx:17.52 Throughout the Sonship is the  song of freedom heard in joyous echo of your choice. You have joined
Tx:20.12  all the terror that kept it hidden. There is no fear in love. The  song of Easter is the glad refrain the Son of God was never
Tx:21.8  forgotten; dim, perhaps, and yet not altogether unfamiliar, like a  song whose name is long forgotten, and the circumstances in which you
Tx:21.8  in which you heard completely unremembered. Not the whole  song has stayed with you, but just a little wisp of melody, attached
Tx:21.8  But you remember from just this little part how lovely was the  song, how wonderful the setting where you heard it, and how you loved
Tx:21.9  is half so dear as this. Listen and see if you remember an ancient  song you knew so long ago and held more dear than any melody you
Tx:21.11  which can show you this and not the body. You know the ancient  song and know it well. Nothing will ever be as dear to you as is this
Tx:21.12 And now the blind can see, for that same  song they sing in honor of their Creator gives praise to them as
Tx:21.12  The blindness which they made will not withstand the memory of this  song. And they will look upon the vision of the Son of God,
Tx:21.47  it hears in terror, the other part hears as the sweetest music—the  song it longed to hear since first the ego came into your minds. The
Tx:21.47  ego came into your minds. The ego's weakness is its strength. The  song of freedom, which sings the praises of another world, brings to
Tx:24.15  loving praise of what you are, is all you listen to. And that vast  song of honor and of love for what you are seems silent and unheard
Tx:24.46  offers to your Self. The sight of Christ is all there is to see. The  song of Christ is all there is to hear. The hand of Christ is all
Tx:26.4  he witnesses to truth? He is invisible in such a world. Nor can his  song of union and of love be heard at all. Yet is it given him to
Tx:26.4  at all. Yet is it given him to make the world recede before his  song and sight of him replace the body's eyes.
Tx:26.6  His task of showing you that it has not been lost. Hear then the  song your brother sings to you. And let the world recede and take the
Tx:26.6  offers on behalf of peace. But judge him not, for you will hear no  song of liberation for yourself nor see what it is given him to
Tx:26.27  universe to touch the heart of all creation? What is Heaven but a  song of gratitude and love and praise by everything created to the
Tx:26.29  truth, and you will join the lights of Heaven there and sing their  song of gratitude and praise. And as they come to you to be complete,
Tx:26.29  you to be complete, so will you go with them. For no one hears the  song of Heaven and remains without a voice that adds its power to the
Tx:26.29  of Heaven and remains without a voice that adds its power to the  song and makes it sweeter still. And each one joins the singing at
Tx:26.29  to be its own. And what was tiny then has soared into a magnitude of  song in which the universe has joined with but a single voice. This
Tx:26.31  confidence, holding each other's hand and keeping step to Heaven's  song, is difficult to do. But it is hard indeed to wander off, alone
Tx:26.34  ago, for such a tiny interval of time that not one note in Heaven's  song was missed.
Tx:29.68  began. Forgiveness, once complete, brings timelessness so close the  song of Heaven can be heard, not with the ears, but with the holiness

W1:123.4  thankful eyes, no longer looking downward to the dust. We sing the  song of thankfulness today in honor of the Self Which God has willed
W1:164.1  yet He hears them faintly, for beyond them all He hears the  song of Heaven and the Voice of God more clear, more meaningful, more

W2:247.2 So would I look on everyone today. My brothers are Your  Sons. Your Fatherhood created them and gave them all to me as part of
W2:255.1  wills for me, accepting it as mine and giving it to all my Father's  Sons, along with me.
W2:260.2  indeed are we because our Source can know no sin. And we who are His  Sons are like each other and alike to Him.

W2:300.2 We seek Your holy world today. For we, Your loving  Sons, have lost our way a while. But we have listened to Your Voice
W2:WISC.4  In this equality is Christ restored as one Identity, in which all  Sons of God acknowledge that they all are one. And God the Father
W2:WICR.4 We are creation—we the  Sons of God. We seem to be discrete and unaware of our eternal unity
W2:359.1  misunderstood all things. But we have not made sinners of the holy  Sons of God. What You created sinless so abides forever and forever.

Tx:1.68 Miracles are affirmations of  Sonship, which is a state of completion and abundance. Whatever is

Tx:2.102 The  Sonship in its oneness does transcend the sum of its parts. However,
Tx:2.102  conflict cannot ultimately be resolved until all the parts of the  Sonship have returned. Only then can the meaning of wholeness, in the
Tx:2.103 Any part of the  Sonship can believe in error or incompleteness if he so elects.
Tx:4.86  here because as you learn how much you are indebted to the whole  Sonship, which includes me, you come as close to knowledge as
Tx:4.91  undertaken successfully by those who disengage themselves from the  Sonship because they are disengaging themselves from me. God will
Tx:5.2  is why it makes no difference to what part or by what part of the  Sonship the healing is done. Every part benefits and benefits equally.
Tx:5.3  or they you. The light is so strong that it radiates throughout the  Sonship and returns thanks to the Father for radiating His joy upon
Tx:5.5  oneness and become glad. This gladness calls to every part of the  Sonship to rejoice with them and lets God Himself go out into them
Tx:5.13 The Holy Spirit, the shared Inspiration of all the  Sonship, induces a kind of perception in which many elements are like
Tx:5.20  integrity of the mind. When the Atonement is complete and the whole  Sonship is healed, there will be no call to return, but what God
Tx:5.28  for God. Everyone will answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the  Sonship cannot be as one. What better vocation could there be for any
Tx:5.29  As we share this goal we increase its power to attract the whole  Sonship and to bring it back into the Oneness in which it was

Tx:5.50  “self” the ego sees. Every loving thought held in any part of the  Sonship belongs to every part. It is shared because it is loving.
Tx:5.53  awareness that to share them is to strengthen them. The union of the  Sonship is its protection. The ego cannot prevail against the Kingdom
Tx:5.53  and is undone in the presence of the attraction of the parts of the  Sonship, which hear the call of the Holy Spirit to be as One.
Tx:5.57  God's ideas withhold it from the Kingdom. The joint will of all the  Sonship is the only creator that can create like the Father, because
Tx:5.77  their thoughts from the ability to produce fear anywhere in the  Sonship. “The wicked shall perish” is merely a statement of fact if
Tx:5.81  Voice was in me as it is in you, speaking for patience towards the  Sonship in the name of its Creator. What you need to learn now is
Tx:6.5  told you that the crucifixion was the last foolish journey that the  Sonship need take and that it should mean release from fear to anyone
Tx:6.16  the reawakening of every Son of God is necessary to enable the  Sonship to know its wholeness. Only this is knowledge.
Tx:6.21  Judas was my brother and a Son of God, as much a part of the  Sonship as myself. Was it likely that I would condemn him when I was

Tx:6.92  the learning itself must be incomplete. To teach the whole  Sonship without exception demonstrates that you perceive its
Tx:7.2  are not yours. But yours are like His. He created the  Sonship, and you increase it. You have the power to add to the
Tx:7.36  undo the belief in differences, being the only way of perceiving the  Sonship without this belief. This perception is therefore in accord

Tx:7.53 This light will shine back upon you and on the whole  Sonship, because this is your proper gift to God. He will accept it
Tx:7.53  is your proper gift to God. He will accept it and give it to the  Sonship, because it is acceptable to Him and therefore to His Sons.
Tx:7.53  calls upon you to love God and His creations. You can appreciate the  Sonship only as one. This is part of the Law of Creation and
Tx:7.54 Although you can love the  Sonship only as one, you can perceive it as fragmented. It is
Tx:7.58  mind which made it knew itself. And if it recognized any part of the  Sonship, it would know itself.
Tx:7.69  this means anything at all. Being a perfect accomplishment, the  Sonship can only accomplish perfectly, extending the joy in which it
Tx:7.70  denial is as total as love. It is as impossible to deny part of the  Sonship as it is to love it in part. Nor is it possible to love it
Tx:7.73  in anyone, or you have accepted it as you. All illusions about the  Sonship are dispelled together, as they were made together. Teach no
Tx:7.73  as long as perception lasts. And perception will last until the  Sonship knows itself as whole.
Tx:7.88  so that all their effects will vanish from your minds and from the  Sonship as a whole.
Tx:7.91  wills to deprive Himself of His. Do not withhold your gifts to the  Sonship, or you withhold yourself from God. Selfishness is of the
Tx:7.92  in its own, as it is included in God. The power of the whole  Sonship and of its Creator is therefore the Soul's own fullness,
Tx:7.95  since every creation belongs to everyone, being created for the  Sonship as a whole.
Tx:7.110  returns to the Kingdom with this lesson in his heart has healed the  Sonship and given thanks to God. Everyone who learns this lesson has
Tx:7.112  who created them with you. We said before that only the whole  Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with God, because only the whole
Tx:7.112  Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with God, because only the whole  Sonship can create like Him. Whenever you heal a brother by
Tx:8.23  you and your brothers from every imprisoning thought any part of the  Sonship has accepted. Wrong decisions have no power because they are
Tx:8.27  in darkness until God's Will was done completely by any part of the  Sonship. When this was done, it was perfectly accomplished by all.
Tx:8.27  accomplished? My mission was simply to unite the will of the  Sonship with the Will of the Father by being aware of the Father's
Tx:8.36  is invincible, because it is undivided. The undivided will of the  Sonship is the perfect creator, being wholly in the likeness of God,
Tx:8.42 We are the joint will of the  Sonship, whose wholeness is for all. We begin the journey back by
Tx:8.56  which you give to the Holy Spirit to use on behalf of union of the  Sonship, you will not see anything physical except as what it is. Use
Tx:9.34  God's light nor yours is dimmed because you do not see. Because the  Sonship must create as one, you remember creation whenever you
Tx:9.35  your reality, as you were created witnesses to God's. Yet when the  Sonship comes together and accepts its oneness, it will be known by
Tx:9.75  His power through you? Remember that it does not matter where in the  Sonship He is accepted. He is always accepted for all, and when your
Tx:9.75  mind receives Him, the remembrance of Him awakens throughout the  Sonship. Heal your brothers simply by accepting God for them.
Tx:9.87 The  Sonship cannot be perceived as partly sick, because to perceive it
Tx:9.87  because to perceive it that way is not to perceive it at all. If the  Sonship is one, it is one in all respects. Oneness cannot be divided.
Tx:9.99  you have not answered His. He calls to you from every part of the  Sonship because of His love for His Son. If you hear His message, He
Tx:9.104  must learn to see him to learn of his reality. And as part of the  Sonship, that is how you must see yourself to learn of yours.
Tx:10.5  learned your need of healing. Would you bring anything else to the  Sonship, recognizing your need of healing for yourself? For in this
Tx:10.17  you perceive it, lies the denial of God's Fatherhood and your  Sonship.
Tx:10.30  the Wholeness of his Father. In your mind, you can accept the whole  Sonship and bless it with the light your Father gave it. Then you
Tx:10.31 Never forget that the  Sonship is your salvation, for the Sonship is your Soul. As God's
Tx:10.31 Never forget that the Sonship is your salvation, for the  Sonship is your Soul. As God's creation, it is yours, and belonging
Tx:10.38  or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God and in whom the whole  Sonship rests.
Tx:10.68 God's Son is saved. Bring only this awareness to the  Sonship, and you will have a part in the redemption as valuable as
Tx:11.15  that all power is of God. You can remember this for all the  Sonship. Do not allow your brother not to remember, for his
Tx:11.41  be bought nor sold. There can be no disinherited parts of the  Sonship, for God is whole, and all His extensions are like Him.
Tx:13.30  all and equally. Love is not special. If you single out part of the  Sonship for your love, you are imposing guilt on all your
Tx:13.73  or isolated in its effects. Every decision is made for the whole  Sonship, directed in and out and influencing a constellation larger
Tx:15.46  on your own terms. We said before that to limit love to part of the  Sonship is to bring guilt into your relationships and thus make them
Tx:15.47  which salvation lies. How can you decide that special aspects of the  Sonship can give you more than others? The past has taught you this.
Tx:15.54  because the blessing is not limited. In the holy instant, the  Sonship gains as one. And united in your blessing, it becomes one to
Tx:15.54  joined in Christ are in no way separate. For Christ is the Self the  Sonship shares, as God shares His Self with Christ.
Tx:15.82 Think but an instant on this: God gave the  Sonship to you to ensure your perfect creation. This was His gift,
Tx:16.9 What you give through Him is for the whole  Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him His function, for He will
Tx:16.10  not do them. Why should you worry how the miracle extends to all the  Sonship when you do not understand the miracle itself? One attribute
Tx:16.13  and share one idea equally, the first link in the awareness of the  Sonship as one has been made. When you have made this joining as the
Tx:16.23  learned what you have taught show you that you do not perceive the  Sonship as one? And does it not also show you that you do not regard
Tx:16.44  ego would have you see Him, and Him alone, as guilty, leaving the  Sonship open to attack and unprotected from it. The special love
Tx:17.52 Throughout the  Sonship is the song of freedom heard in joyous echo of your choice.
Tx:17.52  it has come to join you together in a relationship in which all the  Sonship is together blessed.
Tx:17.56  because the goal is sure. And you will share the gladness of the  Sonship that it is so. As you begin to recognize and accept the gifts
Tx:17.56  And learning this, you will have also learned how to release all the  Sonship and offer it in gladness and thanksgiving to Him Who gave you
Tx:18.11 Heaven is restored to all the  Sonship through your relationship, for in it lies the Sonship, whole
Tx:18.11  to all the Sonship through your relationship, for in it lies the  Sonship, whole and beautiful, safe in your love. Heaven has entered
Tx:18.13  which has no limits and reaches out to every broken fragment of the  Sonship with healing and uniting comfort. This is offered you in your
Tx:19.37 As this peace extends from deep inside yourselves to embrace all the  Sonship and give it rest, it will encounter many obstacles. Some of

Tx:22.13  language the body does not speak. Nor could it be a fearful sight or  sound that drew them gently into one. Rather, in each the other saw a
Tx:24.17  truth: you will no longer see what never was, nor hear what makes no  sound. Is it a sacrifice to give up nothing and to receive the love

Tx:29.31  echoes of eternity are heard. There is a resting place so still no  sound except a hymn to Heaven rises up to gladden God the Father and

Tx:6.34  what is true. The Holy Spirit can speak only for this because he  speaks for God. He tells you to return your whole mind to God,
Tx:6.45  that the Holy Spirit is the Answer, not the question. The ego always  speaks first because it is capricious and does not mean its maker
Tx:6.60  and the Holy Spirit, shining with the light from God Himself,  speaks only for what lasts forever.
Tx:6.91  beyond belief, because they are beyond question. The Voice for God  speaks only for belief beyond question, which is the preparation for

Tx:8.41  of another direction can obscure the one for which God's Voice  speaks in all of us. Never accord the ego the power to interfere with
Tx:8.111  you receive. Remember that the Holy Spirit is in him, and His Voice  speaks to you through him. What can so holy a brother tell you except
Tx:8.113  you are, I cannot doubt you. I hear only the Holy Spirit in you, who  speaks to me through you. If you would hear me, hear my brothers in
Tx:8.113  you. If you would hear me, hear my brothers in whom God's Voice  speaks. The answer to all prayers lies in them. You will be answered
Tx:9.47 Remember this when the ego  speaks, and you will not hear it. The truth about you is so lofty
Tx:10.15 You are asked to trust the Holy Spirit only because He  speaks for you. He is the Voice for God, but never forget that God
Tx:10.17  is your healing accomplished. Every miracle which you accomplish  speaks to you of the Fatherhood of God. Every healing thought which

Tx:10.58  not of Christ to him. You hear but your own voice, and if Christ  speaks through you, you will hear Him.
Tx:10.69  there must be another world which you do not see. The Bible  speaks of a new Heaven and a new earth, yet this cannot be literally

Tx:14.34  division, but in the meeting place where God, united with His Son,  speaks to His Son through Him. Communication between what cannot be

Tx:15.6  the life of someone who hears it temporarily as the only voice, it  speaks of hell even to him. For it tells him hell is here and bids
Tx:16.15  do not understand it. Miracles are natural to God and to the One Who  speaks for Him. For His task is to translate the miracle into the
Tx:19.84  of truth, the answer to the Answer, the silencer of the Voice that  speaks for God. Yet the retreat to death is not the end of conflict.
Tx:20.38 Each herald of eternity sings of the end of sin and fear. Each  speaks in time of what is far beyond it. Two voices raised together

Tx:25.43  of God rests gently on forgiving eyes, and everything they look on  speaks of Him to the beholder. He can see no evil, nothing in the
Tx:25.59  God's Love? And where does sanity abide except in Him? The One Who  speaks for Him can show you this in the alternative He chose
Tx:26.36  from time. It is the key to learning that the past is over. Madness  speaks no more. There is no other teacher and no other way. For what
Tx:26.56  little willingness to overlook what is not there; a little sigh that  speaks for Heaven as a preference to this world which death and
Tx:27.5  is but a “little” death; a form of vengeance not yet total. Yet it  speaks with certainty for what it represents. The bleak and bitter
Tx:27.7  is your life, how easily destroyed is what you love. Depression  speaks of death and vanity of real concern with anything at all. The

Tx:28.13  that fear was made to render unremembered and undone. The stillness  speaks in gentle sounds of love the Son of God remembers from before
Tx:29.60  if idols could intrude upon his peace. It is for him the Holy Spirit  speaks and tells you idols have no purpose here. For more than Heaven
Tx:30.33  the Holy Spirit is to fight yourself? He tells you but your will; He  speaks for you. In His divinity is but your own. And all He knows is

W1:151.5 This thing it  speaks of and would yet defend it tells you is yourself. And you
W1:152.15  this same invitation to your Self. God's Voice will answer, for He  speaks for you and for your Father. He will substitute the peace of
W1:154.4  Son that sets apart salvation from the world. It is this Voice which  speaks of laws the world does not obey, which promises salvation from
W1:154.10  today. We will not seek to keep our minds apart from Him Who  speaks for us, for it is but our voice we hear as we attend Him. He
W1:156.8  ended doubting and established peace. Today let doubting cease. God  speaks for you in answering your question with these words:

W1:168.1 God  speaks to us. Shall we not speak to Him? He is not distant. He makes
W1:I2.2  peace that comes as you give up your tight control of what you see  speaks for itself. Your motivation will be so intensified that words
W1:186.7 All this the Voice for God relates to you. And as He  speaks, the image trembles and seeks to attack the threat it does not

W2:245.2  we have received. And thus we come to hear the Voice of God, Who  speaks to us as we relate His Word, Whose Love we recognize because

Tx:16.32 The  special love relationship is an attempt to limit the destructive
Tx:16.32  attempting to build barricades against it and keep within them. The  special love relationship is not perceived as a value in itself, but
Tx:16.32  a place of safety from which hatred is split off and kept apart. The  special love partner is acceptable only as long as he serves this
Tx:16.36  must be recognized if it is to be distinguished from illusion: The  special love relationship is an attempt [to bring love into

Tx:16.37  for your own completion, and it is they who render you complete. The  special love relationship is but a shabby substitute for what makes

Tx:16.52 If you perceived the  special relationship as a triumph over God, would you want it? Let us
Tx:16.52  die so you can live. And it is this theme which is acted out in the  special relationship. Through the death of your self, you think you

Tx:16.54 Whenever any form of  special relationship tempts you to seek for love in ritual, remember
Tx:16.54  in ritual, remember love is content and not form of any kind. The  special relationship is a ritual of form, aimed at the raising of the
Tx:16.54  There is no meaning in the form, and there will never be. The  special relationship must be recognized for what it is—a senseless

Tx:16.59 The search for the  special relationship is the sign that you equate yourself with the
Tx:16.59  sign that you equate yourself with the ego and not with God. For the  special relationship has value only to the ego. To the ego unless a
Tx:16.59  has value only to the ego. To the ego unless a relationship has  special value, it has no meaning, and it perceives all love as
Tx:16.59  has special value, it has no meaning, and it perceives all love as  special. Yet this cannot be natural, for it is unlike the
Tx:16.60  in protecting you from the attraction of guilt, the real lure in the  special relationship. You do not recognize that this is its real

Tx:16.61 The  special relationship is totally without meaning without a body. And
Tx:16.61  you must also value the body. And what you value, you will keep. The  special relationship is a device for limiting your self to a body and
Tx:16.61  The Great Rays would establish the total lack of value of the  special relationship if they were seen. For in seeing them, the body
Tx:16.62  made in perfect faith, the universe would enter into it. Yet the  special relationship which the ego seeks does not include even one
Tx:16.64  your world together. This frame of reference is built around the  special relationship. Without this illusion, there can be no meaning
Tx:16.65  in this: You could no longer find even the illusion of love in any  special relationship here. For you are no longer wholly insane, and
Tx:16.66 Nothing you seek to strengthen in the  special relationship is really part of you. And you cannot keep part
Tx:16.69  only this little help of you. Whenever your thoughts wander to a  special relationship which still attracts you, enter with Him into a

Tx:16.70  perceived injustices, and deprivations all enter into the  special relationship, which becomes a way in which you seek to
Tx:16.70  your wounded self-esteem. What basis would you have for choosing a  special partner without the past? Every such choice is made because

Tx:16.73 In the  special relationship, you are allowing your destruction to be. That

Tx:16.74 In the  special relationship, it does not seem to be an acting out of
Tx:16.74  one thing which the ego never allows to reach awareness is that the  special relationship is the acting out of vengeance on yourself. But
Tx:16.74  of vengeance on yourself. But what else could it be? In seeking the  special relationship, you look not for glory in yourself. You have
Tx:17.28  said repeatedly that the Holy Spirit would not deprive you of your  special relationships but would transform them. And by that all that
Tx:17.28  God's purpose, rather than aiming to make a substitute for it. Every  special relationship which you have made is a substitute for God's
Tx:17.29  to you, as it does constantly, you answer with a substitute. Every  special relationship which you have ever undertaken has as its
Tx:17.29  completely that you will not hear the call of truth. In a sense the  special relationship was the ego's answer to the creation of the Holy
Tx:17.31  And its “protection” is part of it, as insane as the whole. The  special relationship, which is its chief defense, must therefore be
Tx:17.32  little difficulty now in realizing that the thought system which the  special relationship protects is but a system of delusions. You
Tx:17.32  at least in general terms, that the ego is insane. Yet the  special relationship still seems to you somehow to be “different.”
Tx:17.34 The  special relationship has the most imposing and deceptive frame of all
Tx:17.74 The holy instant is nothing more than a  special case or an extreme example of what every situation is meant

Tx:24.21  as you for his. You are alike to God as God is to Himself. He is not  special, for He would not keep one part of what He is unto Himself,

Tx:24.21  He willed His Son be like Him, and your brother is like you. Not  special, but possessed of everything including you.
Tx:24.24  as the prison-house which keeps His Son from Him. For it demands a  special place God cannot enter and a hiding-place where none is
Tx:24.24  you closed upon yourself, to rule in madness and in loneliness your  special kingdom, apart from God, away from truth and from salvation.
Tx:24.32 The  special ones are all asleep, surrounded by a world of loveliness they
Tx:25.8  the other part, the tiny mad desire to be separate, different, and  special, to the Christ, to make the oneness clear to what is really
Tx:25.46  use of what you made, to heal instead of harm. To each He gives a  special function in salvation he alone can fill—a part for only
Tx:25.46 —a part for only him. Nor is the plan complete until he finds his  special function and fulfills the part assigned to him to make
Tx:25.47  do one perfect thing and make one perfect choice. And by this act of  special faithfulness to one perceived as other than himself, he
Tx:25.48  is allotted him, for on his part does all the plan depend. He has a  special part in time, for so he chose, and choosing it, he made it
Tx:25.48  his salvation from the very instant that the choice was made. His  special sin was made his special grace. His special hate became his
Tx:25.48  very instant that the choice was made. His special sin was made his  special grace. His special hate became his special love.
Tx:25.48  the choice was made. His special sin was made his special grace. His  special hate became his special love.
Tx:25.48  special sin was made his special grace. His special hate became his  special love.
Tx:25.49 The Holy Spirit needs your  special function that His may be fulfilled. Think not you lack a
Tx:25.49  special function that His may be fulfilled. Think not you lack a  special value here. You wanted it, and it is given you. All that you
Tx:25.49  your specialness appear to be attack. In light, you see it as your  special function in the plan to save the Son of God from all attack
Tx:25.56 Your  special function is the special form in which the fact that God is
Tx:25.56 Your special function is the  special form in which the fact that God is not insane appears most
Tx:25.56  to you. The content is the same. The form is suited to your  special needs and to the special time and place in which you think
Tx:25.56  is the same. The form is suited to your special needs and to the  special time and place in which you think you find yourself and where
Tx:25.56  which makes it most acceptable to those who are insane requires  special choice. Nor can this choice be made by the insane, whose
Tx:25.58  nor overlook nor fail completely to perceive at all. To each his  special function is designed to be perceived as possible and more and
Tx:25.58  being sane. Nor is he left without escape from madness, for he has a  special part in everyone's escape. He can no more be left outside
Tx:25.58  part in everyone's escape. He can no more be left outside without a  special function in the hope of peace than could the Father overlook
Tx:25.61  Holy Spirit gives meaning and direction to the plan in which your  special function has a part. For here your special function is made
Tx:25.61  to the plan in which your special function has a part. For here your  special function is made whole because it shares the function of the
Tx:25.72  as well that you cannot accept it for yourself. It is His  special function to hold out to you the gifts the innocent deserve.
Tx:25.74  that one, so justice may return to love and there be satisfied. Each  special function He allots is but for this—that each one learn that
Tx:25.75  Self, so great and holy that He could not doubt His innocence. Your  special function is a call to Him that He may smile on you whose
Tx:25.75  He shares. His understanding will be yours. And so the Holy Spirit's  special function has been fulfilled. God's Son has found a witness
Tx:25.76  you cannot, not because you are a miserable sinner too. How can the  special really understand that justice is the same for everyone? To
Tx:25.77  justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit brings to earth. Your  special function shows you nothing else but perfect justice can
Tx:25.83  justice to the wholly innocent? A miracle is justice. It is not a  special gift to some to be withheld from others as less worthy, more

Tx:26.5  the world that gives it sense and makes it meaningful. Without your  special function has this world no meaning for you. Yet it can become

Tx:26.16  to be forever undone and unremembered. What seemed once to be a  special problem, a mistake without a remedy, or an affliction without

Tx:24.54  and you along with him. Let not your eyes be blinded by the veil of  specialness that hides the face of Christ from him, and you as well.

Tx:24.59  Specialness is the function which you gave yourself. It stands for
Tx:24.59  to cease. And all this grim determination was for this—you wanted  specialness to be the truth.

Tx:24.62 How bitterly does everyone tied to this world defend the  specialness he wants to be the truth! His wish is law unto him, and
Tx:24.62  to be the truth! His wish is law unto him, and he obeys. Nothing his  specialness demands does he withhold. Nothing it needs does he deny
Tx:24.62  effort is too great, no cost too much, no price too dear to save his  specialness from the least slight, the tiniest attack, the whispered
Tx:24.63  seeing it in him, returns to you. All of the tribute you have given  specialness belongs to him and thus returns to you. All of the love
Tx:24.63  powerful conviction this is you belong to him. Nothing you gave to  specialness but is his due. And nothing due him is not due to you.
Tx:24.64 How can you know your worth while  specialness claims you instead? How can you fail to know it is in his
Tx:24.64  can you fail to know it is in his holiness? Seek not to make your  specialness the truth, for if it were, you would be lost indeed. Be

Tx:24.71  brand it sinful, and you hate its acts, judging it evil. Yet your  specialness whispers, “Here is my own beloved son, in whom I am well

Tx:25.9  Holy Spirit serves Christ's purpose in your mind, so that the aim of  specialness can be corrected where the error lies. Because His
Tx:25.25  is a perfect means to serve the goal for which it is perceived. For  specialness it is the perfect frame to set it off—the perfect
Tx:25.27  the sinlessness that shines unchanged beyond the pitiful attempts of  specialness to put it out of mind where it must be and light the body
Tx:25.46 Such is the Holy Spirit's kind perception of  specialness—His use of what you made, to heal instead of harm. To

Tx:25.49  on his behalf and not against himself. Only in darkness does your  specialness appear to be attack. In light, you see it as your special
Tx:25.67  to share the Holy Spirit's justice with a mind that can conceive of  specialness at all. Yet how could He be just if He condemns a sinner
Tx:25.74 As  specialness cares not who pays the cost of sin, so it be paid, the
Tx:25.76 Without impartiality there is no justice. How can  specialness be just? Judge not because you cannot, not because you

Tx:26.24  where the separation is undone by change of purpose in what once was  specialness and now is union? All illusions are but one. And in the

Tx:5.18  just this fusion or union of will between Father and Son. The Holy  Spirit is the spirit of joy. He is the Call to return with which God
Tx:5.18  or union of will between Father and Son. The Holy Spirit is the  spirit of joy. He is the Call to return with which God blessed the
Tx:5.18  and would not have understood the call to right thinking. The Holy  Spirit was God's Answer to the separation, the means by which the
Tx:5.19  is given you by God Who asks you only to listen to it. The Holy  Spirit is in you in a very literal sense. His is the Voice that calls
Tx:5.20  are as equal as learners as they are as Souls. The Voice of the Holy  Spirit is the call to Atonement or the restoration of the integrity
Tx:5.20  will be no call to return, but what God creates is eternal. The Holy  Spirit will remain with the Sons of God to bless their creations and

Tx:5.22  because you had made another voice through another will. The Holy  Spirit calls you both to remember and to forget. You have chosen to
Tx:5.23  its application is different. Choosing means divided will. The Holy  Spirit is one way of choosing. This way is in you because there is
Tx:5.23  put in their minds was not the voice of His Will for which the Holy  Spirit speaks. The call to return is stronger than the call to
Tx:5.24 The Voice of the Holy  Spirit does not command, because it is incapable of arrogance. It
Tx:5.25  it. It is therefore lost to him until he chooses right. The Holy  Spirit is your Guide in choosing. He is the part of your mind which
Tx:5.26 The Holy  Spirit is the way in which God's Will can be done on earth as it is
Tx:5.28  with me. Rest does not come from sleeping but from waking. The Holy  Spirit is the call to awake and be glad. The world is very tired,
Tx:5.28  it to the Call for God. Everyone will answer the Call of the Holy  Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as one. What better vocation could
Tx:5.29 Hear only this through the Holy  Spirit within you, and teach your brothers to listen as I am teaching
Tx:5.30  way or another Voice. Having given this invitation to the Holy  Spirit, I could come to provide the model for how to think.
Tx:5.30  we must respond to the same mind to do this. This mind is the Holy  Spirit, whose will is for God always. He teaches you how to keep me
Tx:5.31  my message is for you to hear and give away as you answer the Holy  Spirit within you.
Tx:5.32 The way to learn to know your brother is by perceiving the Holy  Spirit in him. We have already said that the Holy Spirit is the
Tx:5.32  the Holy Spirit in him. We have already said that the Holy  Spirit is the bridge or thought-transfer of perception to knowledge,
Tx:5.33 The Holy  Spirit is the idea of healing. Being thought, the idea gains as it is
Tx:5.33  of yourself as well as of all the parts of God. The idea of the Holy  Spirit shares the property of other ideas, because it follows the

Tx:5.34  be in his, because you are perceiving him. See him through the Holy  Spirit in his mind, and you will recognize Him in yours. What you
Tx:5.35 The Voice of the Holy  Spirit is weak in you. That is why you must share it. It must be
Tx:5.35  by being shared. If you make the mistake of looking for the Holy  Spirit in yourself alone, your meditations will frighten you because
Tx:5.36  delay are meaningless in eternity. We have said before that the Holy  Spirit is God's Answer to the ego. Everything of which the Holy
Tx:5.36  Holy Spirit is God's Answer to the ego. Everything of which the Holy  Spirit reminds you is in direct opposition to the ego's notions,
Tx:5.36  because true and false perceptions are themselves opposed. The Holy  Spirit has the task of undoing what the ego has made. He undoes it in
Tx:5.38 The Holy  Spirit is the Mediator between the interpretations of the ego and the
Tx:5.38  Understanding is light, and light leads to knowledge. The Holy  Spirit is in light because He is in you who are light, but you
Tx:5.38  yourselves do not know this. It is therefore the task of the Holy  Spirit to reinterpret you on behalf of God.
Tx:5.39  your life, your eternity, and yourself. It is of this that the Holy  Spirit reminds you. It is this that the Holy Spirit sees. This vision
Tx:5.39  of this that the Holy Spirit reminds you. It is this that the Holy  Spirit sees. This vision invariably frightens the ego because it is
Tx:5.40 The Holy  Spirit is as vigilant as the ego to the call of danger, opposing it
Tx:5.40  strength, just as the ego welcomes it with all its might. The Holy  Spirit counters this welcome by welcoming peace. Peace and eternity
Tx:5.41 The ego is the symbol of separation, just as the Holy  Spirit is the symbol of peace. What you perceive in others, you are
Tx:5.41  in yourself. You let your mind misperceive, but the Holy  Spirit lets your mind reinterpret its own misperceptions. The Holy
Tx:5.41  Spirit lets your mind reinterpret its own misperceptions. The Holy  Spirit is the perfect teacher. He uses only what your minds already
Tx:5.41  understand to teach you that you do not understand it. The Holy  Spirit can deal with an unwilling learner without going counter to
Tx:5.41  than the ego, even though the ego does not recognize it. The Holy  Spirit recognizes it perfectly, because it is His own dwelling place
Tx:5.42  in eternity. The ego made the world as it perceives it, but the Holy  Spirit, the reinterpreter of what the ego made, sees it only as a
Tx:5.42  sees it only as a teaching device for bringing you home. The Holy  Spirit must perceive time and reinterpret it into the timeless. The
Tx:5.43 The Holy  Spirit must work through opposites, because He must work with and for
Tx:5.43  not made truth, but truth can still set you free. Look as the Holy  Spirit looks, and understand as He understands. His understanding
Tx:5.45  are beyond destruction and beyond guilt. They came from the Holy  Spirit within you, and we know what God creates is eternal. What fear
Tx:5.46  safely fail to acknowledge anything that is true. However, the Holy  Spirit will not fail to help you reinterpret everything that you
Tx:5.47  of the Kingdom. Nothing good is lost because it comes from the Holy  Spirit, the Voice for creation. Nothing that is not good was ever
Tx:5.53  of the parts of the Sonship, which hear the call of the Holy  Spirit to be as One.
Tx:5.54  the mind which was in me rejoices as you choose to hear it. The Holy  Spirit atones in all of us by undoing and thus lifts the burden you
Tx:5.56  same level. It is impossible to share opposing thoughts. The Holy  Spirit does not let you forsake your brothers. Therefore, you can
Tx:5.57  God lacks nothing. Everything you think that is not through the Holy  Spirit is lacking.
Tx:5.59  use of guilt is clarified. The ego has a purpose, just as the Holy  Spirit has. The ego's purpose is fear because only the fearful can be
Tx:5.59  be egotistic. The ego's logic is as impeccable as that of the Holy  Spirit, because your mind has all the means at its disposal to side
Tx:5.59  here because, once what you have made is undone by the Holy  Spirit, the blessed residue is restored and therefore continues in
Tx:5.67 The Holy  Spirit, like the ego, is a decision. Together they constitute all the
Tx:5.67  which the mind can accept and obey. The ego and the Holy  Spirit are the only choices open to you. God created one, and so you
Tx:5.73  in me is in you, for God creates with perfect fairness. Let the Holy  Spirit remind you always of His fairness, and let me teach you how to
Tx:5.74 The ego speaks in judgment and the Holy  Spirit reverses its decisions, much as the Supreme Court has the
Tx:5.75  shall perish.” There are many others, but if you will let the Holy  Spirit reinterpret these in His own light, they will suffice.
Tx:5.76  fact that vengeance cannot be shared. Give it therefore to the Holy  Spirit, who will undo it in you because it does not belong in your
Tx:5.77  beyond itself. Actually, all the quotation means is that the Holy  Spirit in later generations retains the power to interpret correctly
Tx:5.82  device which will be abolished when it is no longer useful. The Holy  Spirit, Who speaks for God in time, also knows that time is
Tx:5.83  on Him,” a statement which means that God's peace is set in the Holy  Spirit because it is fixed on God. It is also fixed in you. You,
Tx:5.85  Holy Spirit's set is the basis for His unequivocal Voice. The Holy  Spirit never changes His Mind. Clarity of thought cannot occur under
Tx:5.87 Second, although Freud misinterpreted what the Holy  Spirit told him, or better, reminded him of, he was too honest to
Tx:5.92  when you know the Voice of God Himself is in you? God commended His  Spirit to you and asks that you commend yours to Him. He wills to
Tx:5.92  wills to keep it in perfect peace, because you are of one mind and  spirit with Him. Excluding yourself from the Atonement is the ego's
Tx:5.95  the following as sincerely as you can, remembering that the Holy  Spirit will respond fully to your slightest invitation:

Tx:6.13  learners, even though we need not have equal experiences. The Holy  Spirit is glad when you can learn enough from mine to be re-awakened
Tx:6.14  sacrifice. On the contrary, by enabling yourselves to hear the Holy  Spirit in others, you can learn from their experiences and gain from
Tx:6.14  them without experiencing them yourselves. That is because the Holy  Spirit is one, and anyone who listens is inevitably led to
Tx:6.14  was I. You are not asked to repeat my experiences, because the Holy  Spirit, Whom we share, makes this unnecessary. To use my experiences
Tx:6.15  no perception which is out of accord with the judgment of the Holy  Spirit can be justified. I undertook to show this was true in a very

Tx:6.28  are directed by the mind which has a better Voice. The Holy  Spirit as well as the ego utilizes projection, but since their goals
Tx:6.29 The Holy  Spirit begins by perceiving you as perfect. Knowing this perfection
Tx:6.29  both because it establishes inclusion. Perceiving equality, the Holy  Spirit perceives equal needs. This invites Atonement automatically,
Tx:6.31  The ego's perception has no counterpart in God, but the Holy  Spirit remains the bridge between perception and knowledge. By
Tx:6.31  this meeting is impossible, yet it is your perception which the Holy  Spirit guides. You might remember that the human eye perceives
Tx:6.32  because they were created neither partially nor in part. The Holy  Spirit enables you to perceive this wholeness now. You can no more
Tx:6.32  alone. Prayer is the restatement of inclusion, directed by the Holy  Spirit under the laws of God. God created you to create. You cannot
Tx:6.33  perception of any kind is unnecessary, you made it, and the Holy  Spirit can therefore use it well. He can inspire perception and lead
Tx:6.34 The Holy  Spirit uses time but does not believe in it. Coming from God, He uses
Tx:6.34  good, but He does not believe in what is not true. Since the Holy  Spirit is in your minds, your minds must also be able to believe only
Tx:6.34  your minds must also be able to believe only what is true. The Holy  Spirit can speak only for this because he speaks for God. He tells
Tx:6.35  it can so easily make the idea seem so difficult. Yet the Holy  Spirit tells you that even return is unnecessary because what never
Tx:6.36  all of your perceptions into the one parallel line which the Holy  Spirit sees. This line is the direct line of communication with God
Tx:6.36  because it means that all perception is guided by the Holy  Spirit, Whose Mind is fixed on God. Only the Holy Spirit can resolve
Tx:6.36  guided by the Holy Spirit, Whose Mind is fixed on God. Only the Holy  Spirit can resolve conflict, because only the Holy Spirit is
Tx:6.36  Only the Holy Spirit can resolve conflict, because only the Holy  Spirit is conflict-free. He perceives only what is true in your mind
Tx:6.37  between the ego's use of projection and projection as the Holy  Spirit uses it is very simple. The ego projects to exclude and
Tx:6.37  The ego projects to exclude and therefore to deceive. The Holy  Spirit projects by recognizing Himself in every mind and thus
Tx:6.37  as one. Nothing conflicts in this perception, because what the Holy  Spirit perceives is the same. Wherever He looks He sees Himself, and
Tx:6.38  forever, but it must shine outward to make you aware of it. The Holy  Spirit was given you with perfect impartiality, and only by
Tx:6.38  can you perceive Him at all. The ego is legion, but the Holy  Spirit is One. No darkness abides anywhere in the Kingdom, but your
Tx:6.40 The Holy  Spirit still holds knowledge safe through His impartial perception.
Tx:6.41  to be conflict-free yourselves, you must learn only from the Holy  Spirit and teach only by Him. You are only love, but when you denied
Tx:6.42 The only real safety lies in projecting only the Holy  Spirit because, as you see His gentleness in others, your own mind
Tx:6.45 Remember that the Holy  Spirit is the Answer, not the question. The ego always speaks first
Tx:6.45  at any moment. If it meant you well, it would be glad, as the Holy  Spirit will be glad when He has brought you home and you no longer
Tx:6.47  fully understand one basic fact that the ego does not know. The Holy  Spirit does not speak first, but He always answers. Everyone has
Tx:6.47  and in one way or another and has been answered. Since the Holy  Spirit answers truly, He answers for all time, which means that
Tx:6.48 The ego cannot hear the Holy  Spirit, but it does believe that part of the same mind that made it
Tx:6.50 Hear then the one answer of the Holy  Spirit to all the questions which the ego raises. You are a Child of
Tx:6.55 That is why the Holy  Spirit never commands. To command is to assume inequality, which the
Tx:6.55  never commands. To command is to assume inequality, which the Holy  Spirit demonstrates does not exist. Fidelity to premises is a law of
Tx:6.57 Like any good teacher, the Holy  Spirit does know more than you do now, but He teaches only to make
Tx:6.60 The Holy  Spirit never itemizes errors because He does not frighten children,
Tx:6.60  are frightened, because they do not know the difference. The Holy  Spirit makes no distinction among dreams. He merely shines them away.
Tx:6.60  you have been dreaming. Nothing lasting lies in dreams, and the Holy  Spirit, shining with the light from God Himself, speaks only for what
Tx:6.62  clearly a separation device and therefore does not exist. The Holy  Spirit, as always, takes what you have made and translates it into a
Tx:6.63 We have said that the Holy  Spirit is the motivation for miracles. This is because He always
Tx:6.63  By the laws of mind, then, the body is meaningless. To the Holy  Spirit, there is no order of difficulty in miracles. This is familiar
Tx:6.65 The Holy  Spirit, who leads to God, translates communication into being, just
Tx:6.65  insanity of this perception makes it a fearful one indeed. The Holy  Spirit sees the body only as a means of communication and because
Tx:6.66  allegiance but always for what each one can get separately. The Holy  Spirit communicates only what each one can give to all. He never
Tx:6.76  you that it is up to you to decide which voice is true, but the Holy  Spirit teaches you that truth was created by God, and your decision
Tx:6.76  before that there was help in reminding yourselves to allow the Holy  Spirit to decide for God for you.
Tx:6.77  that it is up to you to decide what God's creations are. The Holy  Spirit perceives the conflict exactly as it is. Therefore, His second
Tx:6.81  that is a demonstration of your growing awareness that the Holy  Spirit will lead you on.
Tx:6.82  is critical to the whole Sonship. We said before that the Holy  Spirit is evaluative and must be. Yet His evaluation does not extend
Tx:6.83 What you must remember, however, is that what the Holy  Spirit rejects, the ego accepts. This is because they are in
Tx:6.83  issue vary, and that is why it promotes different moods. The Holy  Spirit never varies on this point, and so the one mood He engenders
Tx:6.84 The Holy  Spirit does not teach your mind to be critical of other minds,
Tx:6.88  that you can choose either one. By teaching what to choose, the Holy  Spirit will ultimately be able to teach you that you need not choose
Tx:6.88  it towards creation within the Kingdom. Choosing through the Holy  Spirit will lead you to the Kingdom. You create by what you are, but
Tx:6.89  will still be taken for you by God, but by the third step the Holy  Spirit has prepared you for God. He is getting you ready for the
Tx:6.95  step, but I also told you that the third one follows it. The Holy  Spirit will enable you to go on if you follow Him. Your vigilance is
Tx:7.6  is to share the perfect love He shares with you. To this the Holy  Spirit leads you that your joy may be complete, because the Kingdom
Tx:7.6  and nothing that is true needs to be explained. However, the Holy  Spirit has the task of translating the useless into the useful, the
Tx:7.10  correct perception in your brother and yourself by sharing the Holy  Spirit with him. This places you both within the Kingdom and restores
Tx:7.15  change the form so that the original meaning is retained. The Holy  Spirit is the translator of the laws of God to those who do not
Tx:7.17  cannot be consistent unless it is remembered. That is why the Holy  Spirit is a lesson in remembering. We said before that He teaches
Tx:7.22  its purpose. Therefore, it does not really learn at all. The Holy  Spirit teaches you to use what the ego has made to teach the opposite
Tx:7.22  of the Holy Spirit's unified purpose than this course. The Holy  Spirit has taken very diversified areas of your learning and has
Tx:7.23 You made the effort to learn, and the Holy  Spirit has a unified goal for all effort. He adapts the ego's
Tx:7.24  to be no connection, because the ego is discontinuous. Yet the Holy  Spirit teaches one lesson and applies it to all individuals in all
Tx:7.30  question reality is to question meaninglessly. That is why the Holy  Spirit never questions. His sole function is to undo the questionable
Tx:7.31  depressed, because they believe that they are literally “without the  Spirit,” which is an illusion. You do not put the Spirit in them by
Tx:7.31  “without the Spirit,” which is an illusion. You do not put the  Spirit in them by inspiring them, because that would be magic and
Tx:7.31  therefore would not be real healing. You do, however, recognize the  Spirit that is already there and thereby reawaken it. This is why the
Tx:7.31  This is why the healer is part of the resurrection and the life. The  Spirit is not asleep in the minds of the sick, but the part of the
Tx:7.33  be recognized and need only be recognized. Inspiration is of the  Spirit, and certainty is of God according to His laws. Both,
Tx:7.34 The Holy  Spirit must work through you to teach you He is in you. This is an
Tx:7.34  are in God, because you are part of Him. The miracles which the Holy  Spirit inspires can have no order of difficulty, because every part
Tx:7.34  God's Will and yours. The laws of God establish this, and the Holy  Spirit reminds you of it. When you heal, you are remembering the laws
Tx:7.35 All abilities, then, should be given over to the Holy  Spirit, Who knows how to use them properly. He can use them only for
Tx:7.35  you learn to remember God. You have forgotten Him, but the Holy  Spirit still knows that your forgetting must be translated into a way
Tx:7.36  to any extent. The ego always seeks to divide and separate. The Holy  Spirit always seeks to unify and heal. As you heal you are healed,
Tx:7.36  to unify and heal. As you heal you are healed, because the Holy  Spirit sees no order of healing. Healing is the way to undo the
Tx:7.38  its existence in your brothers. This strengthens the Holy  Spirit in both of you, because it is a refusal to acknowledge fear.
Tx:7.44 The Holy  Spirit does not work by chance, and healing that is of Him always
Tx:7.48  could not have changed his mind. That is how you perceive the Holy  Spirit in him. It is only the Holy Spirit in him that never changes
Tx:7.48  That is how you perceive the Holy Spirit in him. It is only the Holy  Spirit in him that never changes His Mind. He himself must think he
Tx:7.53  to Him and therefore to His Sons. This is the true communion of the  Spirit, Who sees the altar of God in everyone and, by bringing it to
Tx:7.54  They make or create, depending on whether the ego or the Holy  Spirit begets or inspires them, but they will return to the mind of
Tx:7.60 The Holy  Spirit undoes illusions without attacking them merely because He
Tx:7.60  by perceiving conflict as meaningless. We said before that the Holy  Spirit perceives the conflict exactly as it is, and it is
Tx:7.60  the conflict exactly as it is, and it is meaningless. The Holy  Spirit does not want you to understand conflict; He wants you to
Tx:7.61 If you will keep in mind what the Holy  Spirit offers you, you cannot be vigilant for anything but God and
Tx:7.61  which are not true and would never have been called upon by the Holy  Spirit if you had not believed the untrue. You cannot deny that, when
Tx:7.64  committed to untruth, perceiving in total contradiction to the Holy  Spirit and to the knowledge of God.
Tx:7.65 You can be perceived with meaning only by the Holy  Spirit, because your being is the knowledge of God. Any belief that
Tx:7.68 In this depressing state, the Holy  Spirit reminds you gently that you are sad because you are not
Tx:7.71  because it will be used for attack, but in the service of the Holy  Spirit, [the law becomes as beneficent as all of the laws of God.
Tx:7.82  as a way of getting rid of something it does not want. To the Holy  Spirit, it is the fundamental law of sharing by which you give what
Tx:7.83 Projection, to the Holy  Spirit, is the law of extension. To the ego, it is the law of
Tx:7.88  as yours, do not keep them. Give them over quickly to the Holy  Spirit to be undone completely so that all their effects will vanish
Tx:7.89 The Holy  Spirit will teach you to perceive beyond belief, because truth is
Tx:7.91  is of the Soul, because that is how God created it. The Holy  Spirit is the part of the mind that lies between the ego and the
Tx:7.95  to them. Your creations are protected for you, because the Holy  Spirit, Who is in your mind, knows of them and can bring them into
Tx:7.100  Will as yours, and you are denying His Kingdom and yours. The Holy  Spirit will direct you only so as to avoid pain. The undoing of pain
Tx:7.100  goal if he recognized it. The problem is not whether what the Holy  Spirit says is true, but whether you want to listen to what He says.
Tx:7.101  confusion is the cause of the whole idea of sacrifice. Obey the Holy  Spirit, and you will be giving up the ego. But you will be
Tx:7.103 The Holy  Spirit always sides with you and with your strength. As long as you
Tx:7.103  can this decision mean except that you want to be fearful? The Holy  Spirit never asks for sacrifice, but the ego always does. When you
Tx:7.104  of this decision is confusion, this is hardly surprising.] The Holy  Spirit is perfectly trustworthy, as you are. God Himself trusts you,
Tx:7.107 The Holy  Spirit will always guide you truly, because your joy is His. This is
Tx:7.110  become the perfect teacher, because he has learned it of the Holy  Spirit, Who wants to teach him everything He knows. When a mind has
Tx:8.8  confused and totally confusing. Even if you could disregard the Holy  Spirit entirely, which is quite impossible, you could learn nothing
Tx:8.11  and makes you afraid of your will because it is free. The Holy  Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the will of a Son of God, knowing
Tx:8.11  of God, knowing that the will of the Son is the Father's. The Holy  Spirit leads you steadily along the path of freedom, teaching you how
Tx:8.12 We said before that the Holy  Spirit teaches you the difference between pain and joy. That is the
Tx:8.15 To what else except all power and glory can the Holy  Spirit appeal to restore God's Kingdom? His appeal, then, is merely
Tx:8.17  forced upon you, being an experience of total willingness. The Holy  Spirit knows how to teach this, but you do not. That is why you need
Tx:8.18  extending His Fatherhood by placing no limits upon it. Let the Holy  Spirit teach you how to do this, for you will know what it means of
Tx:8.20  them in yourself, because it does not know where to look. The Holy  Spirit teaches you that if you look only at yourself, you cannot find
Tx:8.23  them. The ego teaches that your strength is in you alone. The Holy  Spirit teaches that all strength is in God and therefore in you. God
Tx:8.41 The ego's way is not mine, but it is also not yours. The Holy  Spirit has one direction for all minds, and the one He taught me is
Tx:8.54 Remember that the Holy  Spirit interprets the body only as a means of communication. Being
Tx:8.54  the communication link between God and His separated Sons, the Holy  Spirit interprets everything you have made in the light of what He
Tx:8.54  light of what He is. The ego separates through the body. The Holy  Spirit reaches through it to others. You do not perceive your
Tx:8.54  through it to others. You do not perceive your brothers as the Holy  Spirit does, because you do not interpret their bodies and yours
Tx:8.55  is God's way of making unlimited what you have limited. The Holy  Spirit does not see the body as you do, because He knows the only
Tx:8.56  If the body becomes for you a means which you give to the Holy  Spirit to use on behalf of union of the Sonship, you will not see
Tx:8.56  done so by misusing it. Interpret anything apart from the Holy  Spirit, and you will mistrust it. This will lead you to hatred and
Tx:8.61  to be ruled by chaos. Guided by the ego, it is. Guided by the Holy  Spirit, it is not. It becomes only a means by which the part of the
Tx:8.61  to the Soul. The ego's temple thus becomes the temple of the Holy  Spirit, where devotion to Him replaces devotion to the ego. In this
Tx:8.74  upon witnesses who would disagree with its case, nor does the Holy  Spirit. We have said that judgment is the function of the Holy Spirit
Tx:8.74  Holy Spirit. We have said that judgment is the function of the Holy  Spirit and one which He is perfectly equipped to fulfill. The ego as
Tx:8.76  endless prescriptions for avoiding catastrophic outcomes. The Holy  Spirit, perfectly aware of the same data, does not bother to analyze
Tx:8.78  It cannot be louder without violating your will, which the Holy  Spirit seeks to free but never to command.
Tx:8.79 The Holy  Spirit teaches you to use your body only to reach your brothers, so
Tx:8.79  you. Everything used in accordance with its function as the Holy  Spirit sees it cannot be sick. Everything used otherwise is. Do not
Tx:8.79  natural state of anything whose interpretation is left to the Holy  Spirit, Who perceives no attack on anything. Health is the result of
Tx:8.80 We once said that the Holy  Spirit is the Answer. He is the Answer to everything, because He
Tx:8.80  questions. When the ego tempts you to sickness, do not ask the Holy  Spirit to heal the body, for this would merely be to accept the ego's
Tx:8.80  the body is the proper aim for healing. Ask rather that the Holy  Spirit teach you the right perception of the body, for perception
Tx:8.82  joining means if you are sleeping under its guidance. Yet the Holy  Spirit, too, has use for sleep and can use dreams on behalf of waking
Tx:8.83  you place it? Whenever you wake dispiritedly, it was not of the Holy  Spirit. Only when you awaken joyously have you utilized sleep
Tx:8.84  love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love. The Holy  Spirit cannot distinguish among degrees of error, for if He taught
Tx:8.94  can only be what you think you lose. Yet it is only what the Holy  Spirit sees that you can possibly have. We have emphasized many times
Tx:8.94  you can possibly have. We have emphasized many times that the Holy  Spirit will never call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if you ask
Tx:8.94  But if you ask the sacrifice of reality of yourselves, the Holy  Spirit must remind you that this is not God's Will because it is not
Tx:8.95  is precisely what you will ask for. You may insist that the Holy  Spirit does not answer you, but it might be wiser to consider the
Tx:8.98  it is still true that they do not want them. Can you ask the Holy  Spirit for “gifts” such as these and actually expect to receive them?
Tx:8.98  “gifts” such as these and actually expect to receive them? [The Holy  Spirit is totally incapable of giving you anything that does not come
Tx:8.100 When you ask the Holy  Spirit for what would hurt you, He cannot answer, because nothing can
Tx:8.100  a request. It is merely a denial in the form of a request. The Holy  Spirit is not concerned with form at all, being aware only of
Tx:8.100  at all, being aware only of meaning. The ego cannot ask the Holy  Spirit for anything because there is complete communication failure
Tx:8.100  failure between them. Yet you can ask for everything of the Holy  Spirit because your requests are real, being of your will. Would the
Tx:8.100  because your requests are real, being of your will. Would the Holy  Spirit deny the Will of God? And could He fail to recognize it in His
Tx:8.108 Let us suppose, then, that what you request of the Holy  Spirit is what you really want, but you are still afraid of it.
Tx:8.109  if no effort is wasted. The very fact that one has asked the Holy  Spirit for anything will ensure a response. Yet it is equally certain
Tx:8.109  Yet it is equally certain that no response given by the Holy  Spirit will ever be one which would increase fear. It is possible
Tx:8.110  in me whose faith in you cannot be shaken. Can you ask of the Holy  Spirit truly and doubt your brother? Believe his words are true
Tx:8.111  about him determines the message you receive. Remember that the Holy  Spirit is in him, and His Voice speaks to you through him. What can
Tx:8.112 Salvation is of your brother. The Holy  Spirit extends from your mind to his and answers you. You cannot hear
Tx:8.112  unless you extend it. You will not trust the guidance of the Holy  Spirit or believe that it is for you unless you hear it in others. It
Tx:8.113  me. Knowing what you are, I cannot doubt you. I hear only the Holy  Spirit in you, who speaks to me through you. If you would hear me,
Tx:8.118 You can ask of the Holy  Spirit, then, only by giving to Him, and you can give to Him only
Tx:9.1  errors which other egos make is not the kind of vigilance the Holy  Spirit would have you maintain. Egos are critical in terms of the
Tx:9.1  this kind of sense because it is sensible to them. To the Holy  Spirit, it makes no sense at all. To the ego, it is kind and right
Tx:9.3  brother's ego, you must be seeing through yours, because the Holy  Spirit does not perceive his errors. This must be true if there is no
Tx:9.3  if there is no communication at all between the ego and the Holy  Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not attempt
Tx:9.3  the ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the Holy  Spirit does not attempt to understand anything that arises from it.
Tx:9.4 When you react at all to errors, you are not listening to the Holy  Spirit. He has merely disregarded them, and if you attend to them,
Tx:9.5  you are accepting yours. If you want to give yours over to the Holy  Spirit, you must do this with his. Unless this becomes the one way in
Tx:9.7  keep it, see only truth beside you, for you walk together. The Holy  Spirit in you forgives all things in you and in your brother. His
Tx:9.7  ego. Correction is of God, Who does not know of arrogance. The Holy  Spirit forgives everything, because God created everything.
Tx:9.11  which is given you because you have forgotten how to do it. The Holy  Spirit merely reminds you of what is your natural ability. By
Tx:9.11  its judgment. All their helpfulness lies in the judgment of the Holy  Spirit.
Tx:9.14 Forgiveness through the Holy  Spirit lies simply in looking beyond error from the beginning and
Tx:9.14  to be forgiven. What has no effect does not exist, and to the Holy  Spirit, the effects of error are totally non-existent. By steadily
Tx:9.23  as the older ones, because form does not matter to the Holy  Spirit and therefore does not matter at all. According to the newer
Tx:9.23  equated with the mind, the mind's corrective power through the Holy  Spirit is denied.

Tx:9.29 As you awaken other minds to the Holy  Spirit through Him and not yourself, you will understand that you are
Tx:9.31 How can you become increasingly aware of the Holy  Spirit in you except by His effects? You cannot see Him with your
Tx:9.32 It seems to you that the Holy  Spirit does not produce joy consistently in you only because you do
Tx:9.35  not yet awake, but you can learn how to awaken. Very simply the Holy  Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them waken, you will
Tx:9.40 It is perfectly obvious that if the Holy  Spirit looks with love on all He perceives, He looks with love on
Tx:9.41  is deceived by everything you do, even when you respond to the Holy  Spirit, because at such times its confusion increases. The ego is,
Tx:9.44  beyond it, because, within it, its foundation does stand. The Holy  Spirit judges against the reality of the ego's thought system merely
Tx:9.44  Therefore, nothing that arises from it means anything. The Holy  Spirit judges every belief you hold in terms of where it comes from.
Tx:9.56  What good can come of it? And if no good can come of it, the Holy  Spirit cannot use it. What He cannot transform to the Will of God
Tx:9.58  it or prevail over it. It does not vary. It merely is. Ask the Holy  Spirit what it is and He will tell you, but do not be afraid of His
Tx:9.66  neither? You do not remember being awake. When you hear the Holy  Spirit, you merely feel better because loving seems possible to you,
Tx:9.69  decision lie joy and peace and the glory of creation. Offer the Holy  Spirit only your will to remember, for He retains the knowledge of
Tx:9.91  the recognition that his brother can do it. It is a call to the Holy  Spirit in his mind, a call to Him which is strengthened by this
Tx:10.12  merely because it is yours. You do not know what it is, but the Holy  Spirit remembers it for you. Ask Him, therefore, what God's Will is
Tx:10.12  too often repeated that you do not know it. Whenever what the Holy  Spirit tells you appears to be coercive, it is only because you do
Tx:10.15 You are asked to trust the Holy  Spirit only because He speaks for you. He is the Voice for God, but
Tx:10.19  And this willingness opens his own ears to the Voice of the Holy  Spirit, whose message is wholeness. He will enable you to go far
Tx:10.20 The Holy  Spirit cannot speak to an unwelcoming host because He will not be
Tx:10.22  not real freedom, for it still depends on how you see it. The Holy  Spirit is there, although He cannot help you without your invitation,
Tx:10.53 The ego analyzes; the Holy  Spirit accepts. The appreciation of wholeness comes only through
Tx:10.63  He would only have you learn your own will and follow it, not in the  spirit of sacrifice and submission, but in the gladness of freedom.
Tx:10.73  it is His Will to be known. The real world is all that the Holy  Spirit has saved for you out of what you have made, and to perceive
Tx:10.75  what you perceive, for its meaning is lost to you. Yet the Holy  Spirit has saved its meaning for you, and if you will let Him
Tx:10.80  to be told very clearly that if you ask you will receive. The Holy  Spirit will answer every specific problem as long as you believe that
Tx:10.81  asking is taking, and you do not perceive it as sharing. The Holy  Spirit will give you only what is yours and will take nothing in
Tx:10.81  and you share it with God. This is its reality. Would the Holy  Spirit, Who wills only to restore, be capable of misinterpreting the
Tx:10.82  the question. You have believed that to ask for guidance of the Holy  Spirit is to ask for deprivation. Little Children of God, you do not
Tx:10.87  and are condemning God's Son, whom God condemneth not. Let the Holy  Spirit remove all offense of God's Son against himself and perceive
Tx:10.90  in yourself. Yet you can learn the truth of yourself of the Holy  Spirit, who will teach you that, as part of God, deceit in you is
Tx:11.6  your help, and you will not perceive God's answer to you. The Holy  Spirit does not need your help in interpreting motivation, but you do
Tx:11.9  is necessary to demonstrate the need for escape. The Holy  Spirit must still translate it into truth. If you were left with the
Tx:11.13  it, for the awareness of truth cannot be denied. Thus does the Holy  Spirit replace fear with love and translate error into truth. And
Tx:11.22  for to lay aside means to judge against. If you will look, the Holy  Spirit will judge and will judge truly. He cannot shine away what you
Tx:11.23  carefully planned program aimed at learning how to offer to the Holy  Spirit everything you do not want. He knows what to do with it. You
Tx:11.35  investment in the world as you have projected it, allowing the Holy  Spirit to project the real world to you from the altar of God.
Tx:11.39  find is hardly joyous. Is this the promise you would keep? The Holy  Spirit offers you another promise, and one that will lead to joy. For
Tx:11.40  yourself, for you do not believe your home is there. Yet the Holy  Spirit knows it for you, and He will guide you to your home because
Tx:11.42  it back. Yet you must invest in it, not with money but with your  spirit. For Spirit is will, and will is the “price” of the Kingdom.
Tx:11.42  Yet you must invest in it, not with money but with your spirit. For  Spirit is will, and will is the “price” of the Kingdom. Your
Tx:11.42  awaits only the recognition that you have been redeemed. The Holy  Spirit guides you into life eternal, but you must relinquish your
Tx:11.53  you how to gain the whole world and lose your own Soul. The Holy  Spirit teaches that you cannot lose your Soul and there is no gain in
Tx:11.54 The Holy  Spirit is your strength because He perceives nothing but your Soul as
Tx:11.55  world real unto yourself, for the real world is the gift of the Holy  Spirit, and so it belongs to you.
Tx:11.57 The Holy  Spirit keeps the vision of Christ for every Son of God who sleeps. In
Tx:11.57  For reality is one with the Father and the Son, and the Holy  Spirit blesses the real world in Their Name.
Tx:11.58  you in the quiet light of the Holy Spirit's blessing. For the Holy  Spirit will lead everyone home to his Father, where Christ waits as
Tx:11.59  He knows because He knows His Father's love for Him. When the Holy  Spirit has at last led you to Christ at the altar to His Father,
Tx:11.60  God's Son becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the  Spirit of God's Son shines in the Mind of the Father and becomes one
Tx:11.61  radiate from your acceptance of it for yourself to everyone the Holy  Spirit sends you for your blessing. In every Child of God His
Tx:11.63 The Holy  Spirit is invisible, but you can see the results of His Presence, and
Tx:11.63  mass, of prediction and control is transcended, for what the Holy  Spirit enables you to do is clearly beyond all of them. Perceiving
Tx:11.64 You cannot see the Holy  Spirit, but you can see His manifestations. And unless you do, you
Tx:11.64  is healing. God shares His function with you in Heaven, and the Holy  Spirit shares His with you on earth.
Tx:11.66 I am the manifestation of the Holy  Spirit, and when you see me, it will be because you have invited Him.
Tx:11.73  for judgment is not your function. If it is the judgment of the Holy  Spirit, it will be right, for judgment is His function. You share His
Tx:11.79  became invisible. Yet it cannot be invisible in itself, for the Holy  Spirit sees it with perfect clarity. It is invisible to you because
Tx:11.79  to you to decide what reality is. What can be seen is what the Holy  Spirit sees. The definition of reality is God's, not yours. He
Tx:11.82 Everything you made has never been and is invisible because the Holy  Spirit does not see it. Yet what He does see is yours to behold, and
Tx:11.82  truth. God's Son can be seen because his vision is shared. The Holy  Spirit looks upon him and sees nothing else in you. What is invisible
Tx:11.89 Long ago we said that the Holy  Spirit shares the goal of all good teachers, whose ultimate aim is to
Tx:11.89  unnecessary by teaching their pupils all they know. The Holy  Spirit wills only this, for sharing the Father's love for His Son, He
Tx:11.92  sees will never touch him, for although he believes in it, the Holy  Spirit knows it is not true. The Holy Spirit stands at the end of
Tx:11.92  he believes in it, the Holy Spirit knows it is not true. The Holy  Spirit stands at the end of time, where you must be because He is
Tx:11.99  real, and if it is real, there is no way to overcome it. The Holy  Spirit dispels it simply through the calm recognition that it has
Tx:12.10  extent. You may also think that it would be easy enough for the Holy  Spirit to show it to you and dispel it, without the need for you to
Tx:12.13  it, and the whole world you think you control would vanish. The Holy  Spirit, then, seems to be attacking your fortress, for you would shut
Tx:12.19  love, or you will be hiding a dark place in your mind where the Holy  Spirit is not welcome. And you will exempt yourself from His healing
Tx:12.29  makes the encounter holy, is excluded from your sight. The Holy  Spirit teaches that you always meet yourself and the encounter is
Tx:12.30 The Holy  Spirit interprets time's purpose as rendering the need for it
Tx:12.31  as one of extending itself in place of eternity, for like the Holy  Spirit, the ego interprets the goal of time as its own. The
Tx:12.31  occur. Its continuity, then, would keep you in time, while the Holy  Spirit would release you from it. It is His interpretation of the
Tx:12.44 The Holy  Spirit is the light in which Christ stands revealed. And all who
Tx:12.44  they looked upon themselves with love, seeing themselves as the Holy  Spirit sees them. And with this vision of the truth in them came all
Tx:12.67  dreams of love. In these lie your true perceptions, for the Holy  Spirit corrects the world of dreams, where all perception is.
Tx:12.68  lacking. Yet can you find yourself in such a world? Without the Holy  Spirit, the answer would be no. Yet because of Him, the answer is a
Tx:12.70 Only the Holy  Spirit knows what you need. For He will give you all things that do
Tx:12.73 The Holy  Spirit leads me unto Christ, and where else would I go? What need
Tx:12.75  to you the peace of mind that we must find together. The Holy  Spirit will teach you to awaken unto us and to yourself. This is the
Tx:12.76  gift to you, so was it the Father's gift to me, given me through His  Spirit. The sound of it will banish sorrow from the Mind of God's
Tx:13.1 All therapy is release from the past. That is why the Holy  Spirit is the only therapist. He teaches that the past does not
Tx:13.2  at its loftiest is never complete. Even the perception of the Holy  Spirit, as perfect as perception can be, is without meaning in
Tx:13.4 Apart from the Father and the Son, the Holy  Spirit has no function. He is not separate from either, being in the
Tx:13.7  and everywhere, for miracles offered the Son of God through the Holy  Spirit attune you to reality. The Holy Spirit knows your part in the
Tx:13.7  Son of God through the Holy Spirit attune you to reality. The Holy  Spirit knows your part in the redemption and who are seeking you and
Tx:13.14  of everything you cherish, for it is the means by which the Holy  Spirit can separate the false and the true, which you have accepted
Tx:13.16  lies the conviction of your own guilt. If you would have the Holy  Spirit make you free of it, accept His offer of Atonement for all
Tx:13.21  and cannot be used by you at all. They are used only by the Holy  Spirit, and it is that which makes them pure. [If you displace your
Tx:13.21  makes them pure. [If you displace your guilt upon them, the Holy  Spirit cannot use them.] For by preempting for your own ends what you
Tx:13.25  that guilt is always totally insane and has no reason. The Holy  Spirit seeks not to dispel reality. If guilt were real, Atonement
Tx:13.26 The Holy  Spirit does not keep illusions in your mind to frighten you and show
Tx:13.26  gone. Give no reality to guilt, and see no reason for it. The Holy  Spirit does what God would have Him do and has always done so. He has
Tx:13.29  in the Mind of God where you are. And this is reason, which the Holy  Spirit would restore to you. He would remove only illusions. All else
Tx:13.38  while you still remember the results of not sharing. The Holy  Spirit points quietly to the contrast, knowing that you will finally
Tx:13.39  are darkened by doubt and guilt, remember this: God gave the Holy  Spirit to you and gave Him the mission to remove all doubt and every
Tx:13.39  is invariable as the peace in which you dwell and of which the Holy  Spirit reminds you.
Tx:13.40  realize that this is what you want, and only this. Fear not the Holy  Spirit will fail in what your Father has given Him to do. The Will of
Tx:13.41  They will not prevail against the peace God wills for you. The Holy  Spirit will restore your sanity, because insanity is not the Will of
Tx:13.42  flows to you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy  Spirit will teach you how to use it and, by projecting it, to learn
Tx:13.43 God willed you Heaven and will always will you nothing else. The Holy  Spirit knows only of His Will. There is no chance that Heaven will
Tx:13.43  save. It will not be possible to exempt yourself from what the Holy  Spirit wills to teach you. Salvation is as sure as God. His certainty
Tx:13.45 The Holy  Spirit cannot fail to undo for you everything you have learned that
Tx:13.45  for your reconciliation unto sanity and unto peace. The Holy  Spirit has a very different kind of reconciliation in His Mind for
Tx:13.46  cannot wander, and there is no possibility that the plan the Holy  Spirit offers to everyone for the salvation of everyone will not be
Tx:13.47  have the means for learning it and seeing it quite clearly. The Holy  Spirit uses logic as easily and as well as does the ego, except that
Tx:13.47  turn away from them and follow the simple logic by which the Holy  Spirit teaches you the simple conclusions that speak for truth and
Tx:13.50  and your dream is sacred to you. That is why God placed the Holy  Spirit in you, where you placed the dream.
Tx:13.52 Any direction which will lead you where the Holy  Spirit leads you not goes nowhere. Anything you deny which He knows
Tx:13.53 The Holy  Spirit, therefore, must begin His teaching by showing you what you
Tx:13.54 The Holy  Spirit needs a happy learner in whom His mission can be happily
Tx:13.54  must first recognize that you are miserable and not happy. The Holy  Spirit cannot teach without this contrast, for you believe that
Tx:13.56 The Holy  Spirit, seeing where you are but knowing you are elsewhere, begins
Tx:13.57  they are kings with golden crowns because of them. All this the Holy  Spirit sees and teaches simply that all this is not true. To these
Tx:13.57  delude themselves into believing that it is not nothing, the Holy  Spirit says, with steadfast quietness:
Tx:13.59 Like you, the Holy  Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He
Tx:13.61  you must give everything that you have learned over to the Holy  Spirit to be unlearned for you. And then begin to learn the joyous
Tx:13.68  the crucifixion and the resurrection, between the ego and the Holy  Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy Spirit the decision
Tx:13.68  ego and the Holy Spirit. The ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy  Spirit the decision for guiltlessness. The power of decision is all
Tx:13.70  has no power over the Son of God is the happy lesson the Holy  Spirit teaches and would have you teach with Him. It is His joy to
Tx:13.72  the penalty of guilt in place of all the happy teaching the Holy  Spirit would gladly offer him.
Tx:13.74  of value. Yet because they do not understand their will, the Holy  Spirit quietly understands it for them and gives them what they will
Tx:13.76  no decisions about what it is or where it lies, but ask of the Holy  Spirit everything and leave all decisions to His gentle counsel.
Tx:13.77  define what salvation is and what you would be saved from. The Holy  Spirit knows that all salvation is escape from guilt. You have no
Tx:13.77  this strange distortion of the purity of the Son of God, the Holy  Spirit is your only friend. He is the strong protector of your
Tx:13.79  which no one in this world or Heaven could possibly commit. God's  Spirit teaches only that the “sin” of self-replacement on the throne
Tx:13.80 Say to the Holy  Spirit only, “Decide for me,” and it is done. For His decisions are
Tx:13.80  know when all knowledge lies behind every decision which the Holy  Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His love and teach His
Tx:13.92  summer. Only your own volition seems to make deciding hard. The Holy  Spirit will not delay at all in answering your every question what to
Tx:14.3  It does not teach you what you are or what your Father is. The Holy  Spirit, Who remembers this for you, merely teaches you how to remove
Tx:14.4  unlike the way he sees himself. God can communicate only to the Holy  Spirit in your mind because only He shares the knowledge of what you
Tx:14.4  He shares the knowledge of what you are with God. And only the Holy  Spirit can answer God for you, for only He knows what God is.
Tx:14.5  of value here and everything of value there. Listen to the Holy  Spirit and to God through Him. He speaks of you to you. There is no
Tx:14.14  It sees as guilty, and by its condemnation, it would kill. The Holy  Spirit sees only guiltlessness, and in His gentleness, He would
Tx:14.17 The quiet light in which the Holy  Spirit dwells within you is merely perfect openness in which nothing
Tx:14.20  have made for breaking your communication with your Father. The Holy  Spirit reinterprets it as a means of reestablishing what has not been
Tx:14.21  You who made it are but expressing conflict, from which the Holy  Spirit would release you. Leave what you would communicate to Him. He
Tx:14.28  defend itself. Defense is of your making. God knows it not. The Holy  Spirit uses defenses on behalf of truth only because you made them
Tx:14.29  made, must be gently turned to your own good, translated by the Holy  Spirit from means of self-destruction to means of preservation and
Tx:14.30 The Holy  Spirit asks of you but this—bring to Him every secret you have
Tx:14.31  purpose which He shares with you. The single vision which the Holy  Spirit offers you will bring this oneness to your mind with clarity
Tx:14.32  that would hide your glory be brought to the judgment of the Holy  Spirit and there undone. Whom He would save for glory is saved for
Tx:14.34  know God and also this. All this is safe within you, where the Holy  Spirit shines. He shines not in division, but in the meeting place
Tx:14.34  meeting place of the unseparated Father and His Son lies in the Holy  Spirit and in you. All interference in the communication that God
Tx:14.40  you God. The gift which you refused is held by Him in you. His  Spirit holds it there for you. God has not left His altar, though His
Tx:14.43  see no one can fail to understand. It is the message that the Holy  Spirit is holding to the mirror that is in him. He recognizes it
Tx:14.50  no basis at all for ordering your thoughts. This lesson the Holy  Spirit teaches by giving you shining examples to show you that your
Tx:14.55  is for yourself. If you would remember your Father, let the Holy  Spirit order your thoughts and give only the answer with which He
Tx:14.56 As God communicates to the Holy  Spirit in you, so does the Holy Spirit translate His communications
Tx:14.56 As God communicates to the Holy Spirit in you, so does the Holy  Spirit translate His communications through you so you can understand
Tx:14.56  all. Nothing lives in secret, and what you would hide from the Holy  Spirit is nothing. Every interpretation you would lay upon a brother
Tx:14.56  you would lay upon a brother is senseless. Let the Holy  Spirit show him to you and teach you both his love and need for love.
Tx:14.63  in one form or another. And each bright lesson, with which the Holy  Spirit will replace the dark ones you do not accept and hide, teaches
Tx:14.68  certain aspects of your lives alone that the guidance of the Holy  Spirit is limited. Thus would you make Him undependable and use this
Tx:14.69 Do you think that what the Holy  Spirit would have you give He would withhold from you? You have no
Tx:14.73  the ego for anything. It is only this that you need do. The Holy  Spirit will, of Himself, fill every mind that so makes room for Him.
Tx:15.2  teaching are far in the future. This is not so. For the Holy  Spirit uses time in His own way and is not bound by it. [Time is His
Tx:15.2  time to support its belief in destruction. The ego, like the Holy  Spirit, uses time to convince you of the inevitability of the goal
Tx:15.2  To the ego the goal is death, which is its end. But to the Holy  Spirit the goal is life, which has no end.
Tx:15.8 The Holy  Spirit teaches thus: There is no hell. Hell is only what the ego has
Tx:15.8  understanding the present, because you are afraid of it. The Holy  Spirit leads as steadily to Heaven as the ego drives to hell. For the
Tx:15.8  leads as steadily to Heaven as the ego drives to hell. For the Holy  Spirit, Who knows only the present, uses it to undo the fear by which
Tx:15.9 The Holy  Spirit would undo all of this now. Fear is not of the present but
Tx:15.12  long is an instant?” Could you not give so short a time to the Holy  Spirit for your salvation? He asks no more, for He has no need of
Tx:15.13 You will never give this holy instant to the Holy  Spirit on behalf of your release while you are unwilling to give it
Tx:15.13  to your willingness to be released and to offer time to the Holy  Spirit for His use of it. How long is an instant? It is as short for
Tx:15.13  enslaved by time and thus make time their friend for them. The Holy  Spirit gives their blessed instant to you through your giving it. As
Tx:15.15 Time is your friend if you leave it to the Holy  Spirit to use. He needs but very little to restore God's whole power
Tx:15.15  release. Offer the miracle of the holy instant through the Holy  Spirit and leave His giving it to you to Him.
Tx:15.16  unless God is bound, you cannot be. An instant offered to the Holy  Spirit is offered to God on your behalf, and in that instant you will
Tx:15.16  instant, you will let go all your past learning, and the Holy  Spirit will quickly offer you the whole lesson of peace. What can
Tx:15.19  are far stronger and much more compelling witnesses for the Holy  Spirit. And they support His strength. It is, therefore, your choice
Tx:15.19  is, therefore, your choice whether they support the ego or the Holy  Spirit in you. And you will know which you have chosen by their
Tx:15.19  their reactions. A Son of God who has been released through the Holy  Spirit in a brother, if the release is complete, is always
Tx:15.19  this, you have not given one single instant completely to the Holy  Spirit. For when you have, you will be sure you have. You will be
Tx:15.20  you hear one witness whom you have wholly released through the Holy  Spirit. And then you will doubt no more. The holy instant has not yet
Tx:15.25 There is no doubt about what your function is, for the Holy  Spirit knows what it is. There is no doubt about its magnitude, for
Tx:15.26  the ego or host to God?” Let this question be asked you by the Holy  Spirit in you every time you make a decision. For every decision you
Tx:15.27  hell and will bring you awareness of what you decided for. The Holy  Spirit can hold your magnitude, clean of all littleness, clearly and
Tx:15.48  In His function as Interpreter of what you have made, the Holy  Spirit uses special relationships, which you have chosen to support
Tx:15.49 The Holy  Spirit knows no one is special. Yet He also perceives that you have
Tx:15.50  you would substitute for another has not been offered to the Holy  Spirit for His use. There is no substitute for love. If you would
Tx:15.52  relationships, and although this is not so in Heaven, the Holy  Spirit knows how to bring a touch of Heaven to them here. In the holy
Tx:15.53  built by which to judge your brothers. Once this is gone, the Holy  Spirit substitutes His frame of reference for it. His frame of
Tx:15.54  have been told to offer miracles as Christ directs and let the Holy  Spirit bring to you those who are seeking you. Yet in the holy
Tx:15.62  light behind it can have faith in love without fear. Yet the Holy  Spirit gives you this faith because He offered it to me and I
Tx:15.62  will be denied you, for I denied it not. And through me the Holy  Spirit gave it unto you, as you will give it. Let no need that you
Tx:15.69  that binds the Son of God to guilt, and it is this chain the Holy  Spirit would remove from his holy mind. For the chain of savagery
Tx:15.69  at the relationships which the ego contrives and let the Holy  Spirit judge them truly. For it is certain that, if you will look at
Tx:15.75  feel guilty about communication and will be afraid to hear the Holy  Spirit, recognizing in His voice your own need to communicate. The
Tx:15.75  recognizing in His voice your own need to communicate. The Holy  Spirit cannot teach through fear. And how can He communicate with you
Tx:15.79 The holy instant does not replace the need for learning, for the Holy  Spirit must not leave you as your Teacher until the holy instant has
Tx:15.83 The Holy  Spirit is God's attempt to free you of what He does not understand.
Tx:15.83  And because of the Source of the attempt, it will succeed. The Holy  Spirit asks you to respond as God does, for He would teach you what
Tx:15.84 The Holy  Spirit knows that it is not understandable, and yet He understands it
Tx:15.85  your perception of your brothers to the body, so would the Holy  Spirit release your vision and let you see the Great Rays shining
Tx:15.89 If you would but let the Holy  Spirit tell you of the love of God for you and the need your
Tx:15.90  of God's Son to what interferes with his release and what the Holy  Spirit must undo to set him free. For his belief in limits has
Tx:15.91  and your thoughts will be as free as God's. As you let the Holy  Spirit teach you how to use the body only for purposes of
Tx:15.92  my birth into the world. Yet you know not how to do it. Let the Holy  Spirit teach you, and let me celebrate your birth through Him. The
Tx:15.103 This Christmas, give the Holy  Spirit everything that would hurt you. Let yourself be healed
Tx:15.111 I give you to the Holy  Spirit as part of myself. I know that you will be released, unless I
Tx:16.1  is shared. The capacity to empathize is very useful to the Holy  Spirit, provided you let Him use it in His way. [His way is very
Tx:16.2  you may be sure—if you will merely sit quietly by and let the Holy  Spirit relate through you, you will empathize with strength and both
Tx:16.7  because they contain an element of specialness. Only the Holy  Spirit recognizes foolish needs as well as real ones. And He will
Tx:16.13  as one has been made. When you have made this joining as the Holy  Spirit bids you and have offered it to Him to use as He knows how,
Tx:16.14  Yet this is your position. You would have perfect faith in the Holy  Spirit and in the effects of His teaching if you were not afraid to
Tx:16.19  makes for happiness. You have never given any problem to the Holy  Spirit He has not solved for you, nor will you ever do so. You have
Tx:16.25 Your teaching has already done this, for the Holy  Spirit is part of you. Created by God, He left neither God nor His
Tx:16.25  Self you do not know. And they communicate to you through the Holy  Spirit, and their power and gratitude to you for their creation they
Tx:16.41  forget the truth in you than you can fail to remember it. The Holy  Spirit is the bridge to Him, made from your willingness to unite with
Tx:16.47  can be no disagreement on this, because both the ego and the Holy  Spirit accept it. They are, however, in complete disagreement on what
Tx:16.47  on what completion is and how it is accomplished. The Holy  Spirit knows that completion lies first in union and then in the
Tx:16.60  unable to find you and comfort you. There is a way in which the Holy  Spirit asks your help if you would have His. The holy instant is His
Tx:16.69 The Holy  Spirit asks only this little help of you. Whenever your thoughts
Tx:16.75 Against the ego's insane notion of salvation, the Holy  Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said before that the Holy
Tx:16.75  Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said before that the Holy  Spirit must teach through comparisons and uses opposites to point to
Tx:16.76  not attempt this long. In the holy instant, the power of the Holy  Spirit will prevail because you joined Him. The illusions you bring
Tx:16.77  will always be exactly as he was created. And everything the Holy  Spirit teaches you is to remind you that you have received what God
Tx:17.7  will see the Son of God. You will behold the beauty which the Holy  Spirit loves to look upon and which He thanks the Father for. He was
Tx:17.13  trembling with readiness to be given you. The eagerness of the Holy  Spirit to give you this is so intense He would not wait, although He
Tx:17.19  and join with fantasies in uninterrupted “bliss.” How can the Holy  Spirit bring His interpretation of the body as a means of
Tx:17.21 The Holy  Spirit wills only to make His resolutions complete and perfect, and
Tx:17.23 This is the only part of the relationship the Holy  Spirit sees because He knows that only this is true. You have made
Tx:17.28  it is possible to make happy. We have said repeatedly that the Holy  Spirit would not deprive you of your special relationships but would
Tx:17.29  relationship was the ego's answer to the creation of the Holy  Spirit, Who was God's answer to the separation. For although the ego
Tx:17.30  system which the ego evolved to protect the separation from the Holy  Spirit was in response to the gift with which God blessed it and by
Tx:17.30  itself the truth about everything. And the truth is that the Holy  Spirit is in close relationship with you because in Him is your
Tx:17.30  The relationship with Him has never been broken because the Holy  Spirit has not been separate from anyone since the separation. And
Tx:17.36  the love of God, the tears of Christ, and the joy of His eternal  Spirit are marshaled to defend you from your own attack. For you
Tx:17.44  This is the first result of offering the relationship to the Holy  Spirit to use for His purposes.
Tx:17.45 This invitation is accepted immediately, and the Holy  Spirit wastes no time in introducing the practical results of asking
Tx:17.48  the rewards of faith are being introduced. If you believed the Holy  Spirit was there to accept the relationship, why would you now not
Tx:17.53 You undertook together to invite the Holy  Spirit into your relationship. He could not have entered otherwise.
Tx:17.61  for the ego believes the situation brings the experience. The Holy  Spirit knows that the situation is as the goal determines it and is
Tx:17.62  Where the goal of truth is set, there faith must be. The Holy  Spirit sees the situation as a whole. The goal establishes the fact
Tx:17.72  calls for faith, and faith makes room for truth.] When the Holy  Spirit changed the purpose of your relationship by exchanging yours
Tx:17.75 This simple courtesy is all the Holy  Spirit asks of you. Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon it,
Tx:18.1  perceive at once how much at variance this is with the goal the Holy  Spirit has given you and would accomplish for you. To substitute is
Tx:18.2 The Holy  Spirit never uses substitutes. Where the ego perceives one person as
Tx:18.2  the ego perceives one person as a replacement for another, the Holy  Spirit sees them joined and indivisible. He does not judge between
Tx:18.2  Nothing can come between what God has joined and what the Holy  Spirit sees as one. But everything seems to come between the
Tx:18.8  the living God you never left and Who never left you. The Holy  Spirit takes you gently by the hand and retraces with you your mad
Tx:18.9  here, nor ever will. Here is the radiant truth to which the Holy  Spirit has committed your relationship. Let Him bring it here, where
Tx:18.20 The Holy  Spirit, ever practical in His wisdom, accepts your dreams and uses
Tx:18.20  dreams of fear are changed to happy dreams. That is what the Holy  Spirit does in your special relationship. He does not destroy it nor
Tx:18.21  who come within your sight. Through it, the blessing which the Holy  Spirit has laid upon it will be extended. Think not that He has
Tx:18.23  relationship meet its conditions. In your relationship, the Holy  Spirit has gently laid the real world—the world of happy dreams
Tx:18.32  you realize that you cannot do more. Do not attempt to give the Holy  Spirit what He does not ask, or you will add the ego unto Him and
Tx:18.45  is still a special relationship. Yet it is very useful to the Holy  Spirit, Who has a special function here. It will become the happy
Tx:18.46  is threatened by anything, stop instantly and offer the Holy  Spirit your willingness in spite of fear to let Him exchange this
Tx:18.48  it now. And so I choose this instant as the one to offer to the Holy  Spirit, that His blessing may descend on us and keep us both in peace.
Tx:18.52  of the body, it cannot change its function from what the Holy  Spirit establishes it to be. The body was not made by love. Yet love
Tx:18.69  of the body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the Holy  Spirit comes and there abides. He will remain when you forget and the
Tx:18.84  the little thought that seems split off and separate, which the Holy  Spirit needs. The rest is fully in God's keeping and needs no guide.
Tx:18.85  has not lost it, but you have lost sight of Heaven. Let the Holy  Spirit remove it from the withered kingdom in which you set it off,
Tx:18.87  Yet God can bring you there if you are willing to follow the Holy  Spirit through seeming terror, trusting Him not to abandon you and
Tx:19.2  is healed because you offered faith to him, giving him to the Holy  Spirit and releasing him from every demand your ego would make of
Tx:19.2  of him. Thus do you see him free, and in this vision does the Holy  Spirit share. And since He shares it, He has given it, and so He
Tx:19.15  little kingdoms barren and separate, so will faith help the Holy  Spirit prepare the ground for the most holy garden which He would
Tx:19.27  for it is sin that calls for punishment, not error. The Holy  Spirit cannot punish sin. Mistakes He recognizes and would correct
Tx:19.28  that you would keep unheard and thus unanswered? In time the Holy  Spirit clearly sees the Son of God can make mistakes. On this you
Tx:19.38  before it. This will you do, for nothing undertaken with the Holy  Spirit remains unfinished. You can indeed be sure of nothing you see
Tx:19.38  nothing you see outside you, but of this you can be sure: the Holy  Spirit asks that you offer Him a resting-place where you will rest in
Tx:19.39  looking where He is and not apart from Him. You cannot see the Holy  Spirit, but you can see your brothers truly. And the light in them
Tx:19.39  for seeing then? When God has taken the last step Himself, the Holy  Spirit will gather all your thanks and gratitude which you have
Tx:19.43  apart from each other nor apart from the one you asked the Holy  Spirit to share with you. The little wall will fall away so quietly
Tx:19.46  briefly upon anything, for it has no purpose now. Before the Holy  Spirit entered to abide with you, it seemed to have a mighty purpose;
Tx:19.53 The Holy  Spirit has given you love's messengers to send instead of those you
Tx:19.54 If you send forth only the messengers the Holy  Spirit gives you, wanting no messages but theirs, you will see fear
Tx:19.54  ask love's messengers to remove from it and see it still. The Holy  Spirit has given you His messengers to send to each other and return
Tx:19.62  Is it a sacrifice to be removed from what can suffer? The Holy  Spirit does not demand you sacrifice the hope of the body's pleasure;
Tx:19.62  can it bring you fear of pain. Pain is the only “sacrifice” the Holy  Spirit asks, and this He would remove.
Tx:19.68 Your little part is but to give the Holy  Spirit the whole idea of sacrifice. And to accept the peace He gave
Tx:19.73  is given by the sender and the receiver. The ego and the Holy  Spirit both recognize this, and both also recognize that here the
Tx:19.73  recognize that here the sender and receiver are the same. The Holy  Spirit tells you this with joy. The ego hides it, for it would keep
Tx:19.76  is offered must also be received to be truly given. For the Holy  Spirit, too, is a communication medium, receiving from the Father and
Tx:19.76  and offering His messages unto the Son. Like the ego, the Holy  Spirit is both the sender and the receiver. For what is sent through
Tx:19.77 To you in whose special relationship the Holy  Spirit entered, it is given to release and be released from the
Tx:19.86  you. Your newborn purpose is nursed by angels, cherished by the Holy  Spirit, and protected by God Himself. It needs not your protection;
Tx:19.94  it is with this. The desire to get rid of peace and drive the Holy  Spirit from you fades in the presence of the quiet recognition that
Tx:19.94  you love Him. The exaltation of the body is given up in favor of the  Spirit, which you love as you could never love the body. And the
Tx:19.102  of you is one who offers you the chalice of Atonement, for the Holy  Spirit is in him. Would you hold his sins against him or accept his
Tx:19.106  separate in death. Behold the gift of freedom that I gave the Holy  Spirit for both of you. And be you free together, as you offer to the
Tx:19.106  for both of you. And be you free together, as you offer to the Holy  Spirit this same gift. And giving it, receive it of Him in return for
Tx:20.11  of illusion that God Himself could give. For what God gave the Holy  Spirit, you have received. The Son of God looks unto you for his
Tx:20.22  a purpose, but he will not remain before the shining light the Holy  Spirit offered and you accepted. For there the stranger is made
Tx:20.28  at all. Power is of God, given by Him and reawakened by the Holy  Spirit, Who knows that as you give, you gain. He gives no power to
Tx:20.28  and misery and pain. These things have not occurred because the Holy  Spirit sees them not and gives no power to their seeming source. Thus
Tx:20.28  you free of them. Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy  Spirit merely gives everything to God, Who has already given and
Tx:20.29  so it is with yours. [Salvation is a lesson in giving, as the Holy  Spirit interprets it.] It is the reawakening of the laws of God in
Tx:20.35  function that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy  Spirit will not arrange for you without your effort.
Tx:20.41  little use to you as it is to him. When it is used only as the Holy  Spirit teaches, it has no function, for minds need not the body to
Tx:20.44 Be comforted and feel the Holy  Spirit watching over you in love and perfect confidence in what He
Tx:20.49  idolatry. Here it is “safe,” for here love cannot enter. The Holy  Spirit does not build His temples where love can never be. Would He
Tx:20.51  escaped the body. Where you are the body cannot enter, for the Holy  Spirit has set His temple there.
Tx:20.54  relationship the Son of God has with his Father in reality. The Holy  Spirit rests within it in the certainty it will endure forever. Its
Tx:20.60 To obtain the goal, the Holy  Spirit indeed asked little. He asks no more to give the means as
Tx:20.65  is the sign that you lack vision and have denied the means the Holy  Spirit offers you to serve His purpose. How can a holy relationship
Tx:20.69  it with real desire and sincerity of purpose, shared with the Holy  Spirit and at one with Him on what salvation is. Be willing, then, to
Tx:20.70 The Holy  Spirit guarantees that what God willed and gave you shall be yours.
Tx:20.70  be preferred and chosen to replace the holy home the Holy  Spirit offers, where He will dwell with you?
Tx:20.76  all or merely judged against. Vision is the means by which the Holy  Spirit translates your nightmares into happy dreams; your wild
Tx:21.13  transformed to joy; the little gift you offer to the Holy  Spirit for which He gives you everything; the very little on which
Tx:21.17  for God for you. This is the little gift you offer to the Holy  Spirit, and even this He gave to you to give yourself. For by this
Tx:21.22 The Holy  Spirit can give you faith in holiness and vision to see it easily
Tx:21.29  the accepted purpose of the relationship. And that is why the Holy  Spirit must change its purpose to make it useful to Him and harmless
Tx:21.32  by which the goal of holiness is reached. Through them the Holy  Spirit leads you to the real world and away from all illusions where
Tx:21.34 The Holy  Spirit has a use for all the means for sin by which you sought to
Tx:21.34  choose among your brothers and seek for sin with them. The Holy  Spirit sees perception as a means to teach you that the vision of a
Tx:21.37 Those who believe in sin must think the Holy  Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they think their purpose
Tx:21.37  is how they think their purpose is accomplished. Brothers, the Holy  Spirit knows that sacrifice brings nothing. He makes no bargains. And
Tx:21.39 Think you the Holy  Spirit is concerned with this? He gives not what it is His purpose to
Tx:21.41 The Holy  Spirit will never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will
Tx:21.46 There is no inconsistency in what the Holy  Spirit teaches. This is the reasoning of the sane. You have perceived
Tx:21.53  being eternal. You must have set aside a place in which the Holy  Spirit can abide and where He is. He must have been there since the
Tx:21.66  in order to escape from reason. What madness would conceal, the Holy  Spirit still holds out for everyone to look upon with gladness.
Tx:21.82  if you are willing to exchange the world of sin for what the Holy  Spirit sees, since it is this the world of sin denies. And therefore
Tx:22.20  Therefore, says reason, if escape from guilt was given to the Holy  Spirit as His purpose, and by One to Whom nothing He wills can be
Tx:22.26  given to your holy relationship is there. For what He gave the Holy  Spirit to give to you, He gave. Would you not look upon the savior
Tx:22.46  in sin needs great defense and at enormous cost. All that the Holy  Spirit offers must be defended against and sacrificed. For sin is
Tx:22.52  even in this confusion, so profound it cannot be described, the Holy  Spirit waits in gentle patience, as certain of the outcome as He is
Tx:22.56  in Heaven through himself? The gentle service that you give the Holy  Spirit is service to yourself. You who are now His means must love
Tx:22.58  this.] Accept this one and serve it willingly, for what the Holy  Spirit does with the gifts you give each other, to whom He offers
Tx:22.63  because you can attack you must be different. Yet does the Holy  Spirit explain this differently. Because you are not different, you
Tx:23.16  is given those who would remember Him. Over His home the Holy  Spirit watches, sure that its peace can never be disturbed.
Tx:23.50  the miracles you have the power to extend to all. Yet does the Holy  Spirit understand how to increase your little gifts and make them
Tx:24.15  really are, how can you know the truth? What answer that the Holy  Spirit gives can reach you, when it is your specialness to which you
Tx:24.52  God's Son is all the world is for. That is the only purpose the Holy  Spirit sees in it and thus the only one it has. Until you see the
Tx:25.8  reach to you through what you understand. Father and Son and Holy  Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join as one in truth. Christ
Tx:25.8  in the part of you that shares His Father's Will. The Holy  Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad desire to be separate,
Tx:25.9 The Holy  Spirit serves Christ's purpose in your mind, so that the aim of
Tx:25.17 The Holy  Spirit is the frame God set around the part of Him that you would see
Tx:25.21  giving it you learn to understand His gift to you. And give the Holy  Spirit what He offers unto the Father and the Son alike. Nothing has
Tx:25.30  must have been wrong. And thus is change made possible. The Holy  Spirit too sees what He sees as far beyond the chance of change. But
Tx:25.47  is the only function meaningful in time. It is the means the Holy  Spirit uses to translate specialness from sin into salvation.
Tx:25.49 The Holy  Spirit needs your special function that His may be fulfilled. Think
Tx:25.49  easily and well. The Son of God can make no choice the Holy  Spirit cannot employ on his behalf and not against himself. Only in
Tx:25.50 And if the Holy  Spirit can commute each sentence that you laid upon yourself into a
Tx:25.54 The Holy  Spirit has the power to change the whole foundation of the world you
Tx:25.61  rock on which salvation rests, the vantage point from which the Holy  Spirit gives meaning and direction to the plan in which your special
Tx:25.63 The Holy  Spirit can use all that you give to Him for your salvation. But He
Tx:25.68  their own belief in justice must entail. And so they fear the Holy  Spirit and perceive the “wrath” of God in Him. [They are unjust
Tx:25.69  think the loss of sin a curse. And flee [the blessing of] the Holy  Spirit as if He were a messenger from hell sent from above in
Tx:25.74  cares not who pays the cost of sin, so it be paid, the Holy  Spirit heeds not who looks on innocence at last, provided it is seen
Tx:25.74  sees truly. Simple justice asks no more. Of each one does the Holy  Spirit ask if he will be that one, so justice may return to love and
Tx:25.75  his sinlessness and not his sin. How little need you give the Holy  Spirit that simple justice may be given you!
Tx:25.77  holy Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy  Spirit brings to earth. Your special function shows you nothing else
Tx:25.80 Be certain any answer to a problem the Holy  Spirit solves will always be one in which no one loses. And this must
Tx:25.80  harder to resolve, and more unfair. It is impossible the Holy  Spirit could see unfairness as a resolution. To Him, what is unfair
Tx:25.82  as God knows it, and as knowledge is reflected in the sight the Holy  Spirit gives.
Tx:25.84  of healing and deliverance and peace. To give a problem to the Holy  Spirit to solve for you means that you want it solved. To keep it for
Tx:26.6  reality. Nor can you lose what you would sacrifice nor keep the Holy  Spirit from His task of showing you that it has not been lost. Hear
Tx:26.10  not difficult to understand the reasons why you do not ask the Holy  Spirit to solve all problems for you. He has not greater difficulty
Tx:26.11 The Holy  Spirit offers you release from every problem that you think you have.
Tx:26.13  does injustice to the Son of God and therefore is not true. The Holy  Spirit does not evaluate injustices as great or small or more or
Tx:26.15  call forth will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor will the Holy  Spirit be content until it is received by everyone. For what you give
Tx:26.33  who still believe you live in time and know not it is gone, the Holy  Spirit still guides you through the infinitely small and senseless
Tx:26.73  working out can seem to take forever. The change of purpose the Holy  Spirit brought to your relationship has in it all effects that you
Tx:26.74  This is a sacrifice of now, which could not be the cost the Holy  Spirit asks for what He gave without a cost at all.
Tx:26.89  it by rendering it purposeless, without the function that the Holy  Spirit sees. And simple justice has been thus denied to every living
Tx:26.90  a purpose in a futile world. The world is fair because the Holy  Spirit has brought injustice to the light within, and there has all
Tx:27.3  you offer him you show yourself and give it all your faith. The Holy  Spirit offers you to give to him a picture of yourself in which there
Tx:27.5  and loved. Now in the hands made gentle by His touch, the Holy  Spirit lays a picture of a different you. It is a picture of a body
Tx:27.12  This thing without a purpose cannot hide the function that the Holy  Spirit gave. Let, then, its purpose and your function both be
Tx:27.20 The “cost” of your serenity is his. This is the “price” the Holy  Spirit and the world interpret differently. The world perceives it as
Tx:27.20  statement of the “fact” that your salvation sacrifices his. The Holy  Spirit knows your healing is the witness unto his and cannot be apart
Tx:27.21  to prevent a shift of balance in the sacrifice. How could the Holy  Spirit be deterred an instant, even less, to reason with an argument
Tx:27.26  presence is perceived as all of you. To this remaining half the Holy  Spirit must represent the other half until you recognize it is the
Tx:27.27  cannot be shared, and so it cannot be the function which the Holy  Spirit sees as His. And you can rest assured that He will not fulfill
Tx:27.33  by which the truth is represented temporarily. It lets the Holy  Spirit make exchange of pictures possible until the time when aids
Tx:27.44  he does not have? And who can share what he denies himself? The Holy  Spirit speaks to you. He does not speak to someone else. Yet by your
Tx:27.54  is a loud, obscuring voice whose shrieks would silence what the Holy  Spirit says and keep His words from your awareness. Pain compels
Tx:27.74 Rest in the Holy  Spirit and allow His gentle dreams to take the place of those you
Tx:27.85 In gentle laughter does the Holy  Spirit perceive the cause and looks not to effects. How else could He
Tx:27.87 The Holy  Spirit will repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance until it
Tx:28.3  which is not used to interfere with truth. All things the Holy  Spirit can employ for healing have been given Him, without the
Tx:28.4 The Holy  Spirit can indeed make use of memory, for God Himself is there. Yet
Tx:28.8 This is the Cause the Holy  Spirit has remembered for you, when you would forget. It is not past
Tx:28.25 Like every lesson which the Holy  Spirit requests you learn, the miracle is clear. It demonstrates what
Tx:28.43 The Holy  Spirit is in both your minds, and He is One because there is no gap
Tx:28.43  between them vacant. And the Father comes to join His Son the Holy  Spirit joined.
Tx:29.29  and there is no betrayal but of this. The core of dreams the Holy  Spirit gives is never one of fear. The coverings may not appear to
Tx:29.32  intrude upon the sacred Son of God within. Here is the role the Holy  Spirit gives to you who wait upon the Son of God and would behold him
Tx:29.36  does it seem so hard to share this dream? Because unless the Holy  Spirit gives the dream its function, it was made for hate and will
Tx:29.60  laugh if idols could intrude upon his peace. It is for him the Holy  Spirit speaks and tells you idols have no purpose here. For more than
Tx:30.33 Do you not understand that to oppose the Holy  Spirit is to fight yourself? He tells you but your will; He speaks
Tx:30.82  cannot be that meaning changes constantly and yet is true. The Holy  Spirit looks upon the world as with one purpose, changelessly
Tx:31.5  their learning is the only purpose for your learning skill the Holy  Spirit sees in all the world. His simple lessons in forgiveness have
Tx:31.50  its roads nor realize the way you see yourself. Now must the Holy  Spirit find a way to help you see this concept of the self must be
Tx:31.53  And both would go if either one were ever raised to doubt. The Holy  Spirit does not seek to throw you into panic. So He merely asks if
Tx:31.62 You see the flesh or recognize the  Spirit. There is no compromise between the two. If one is real the
Tx:31.62  depend, for here have you established what you are, as flesh or  Spirit in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape
Tx:31.62  own reality, for you have chosen that you want it so. But choose the  Spirit, and all Heaven bends to touch your eyes and bless your holy
Tx:31.64 Salvation does not ask that you behold the  Spirit and perceive the body not. It merely asks that this should be
Tx:31.67 Are you a  spirit, deathless and without the promise of corruption and the stain
W1:43.1  of God. His is the realm of knowledge. Yet He has created the Holy  Spirit as the Mediator between perception and knowledge. Without this
W1:43.1  that it will lead to knowledge. That is its function as the Holy  Spirit sees it. Therefore, that is its function in truth.
W1:43.2  to his awareness. Perception has no meaning. Yet does the Holy  Spirit give it a meaning very close to God's. Healed perception
W1:64.2  the purpose of the body itself. Yet we have learned that the Holy  Spirit has another use for all the illusions you have made, and
W1:64.2  made, and therefore He sees another purpose in them. To the Holy  Spirit, the world is a place where you learn to forgive yourself what
W1:64.6  from just this one simple choice. That is the only choice the Holy  Spirit sees. Therefore it is the only choice there is.
W1:65.4  range disciplinary training which your mind needs, so that the Holy  Spirit can use it consistently for the purpose He shares with you.
W1:66.2 The ego does constant battle with the Holy  Spirit on the fundamental question of what your function is. So does
W1:66.2  what your function is. So does it do constant battle with the Holy  Spirit about what your happiness is. It is not a two-way battle. The
W1:66.2  is. It is not a two-way battle. The ego attacks and the Holy  Spirit does not respond. He knows what your function is. He knows
W1:66.9  ego and is made up of illusions. The other is the home of the Holy  Spirit, where truth abides. There are no other guides but these to
W1:66.9  the fear which the ego always engenders and the love which the Holy  Spirit always offers to replace it.
W1:75.9  your forgiveness entitles you to vision. Understand that the Holy  Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving.
W1:77.6 The Holy  Spirit cannot but assure you that your request is granted. The fact
W1:78.6  is more than friend when he is freed to take the holy role the Holy  Spirit has assigned to him. Let him be savior unto you today. Such is
W1:78.10  long for this. He would be free and make his freedom yours. The Holy  Spirit leans from him to you, seeing no separation in God's Son. And
W1:78.11  dark grievances obscure the sight of him. You have allowed the Holy  Spirit to express through him the role God gave Him that you might be
W1:78.11  laid your images aside and looked upon the miracle of love the Holy  Spirit showed you in their place. The world and Heaven join in

Tx:15.92  time nor season means anything in eternity. But here it is the Holy  Spirit's function to use them both, though not as the ego uses them.
Tx:17.57 The practical application of the Holy  Spirit's purpose is extremely simple, but it is unequivocal. In fact
Tx:17.57  this it is apparent that it must be clear. The setting of the Holy  Spirit's goal is general. Now He will work with you to make it
Tx:17.60  noticeable that this approach has brought you closer to the Holy  Spirit's sorting out of truth and falsity. The true becomes what can

Tx:17.74  of what every situation is meant to be. The meaning which the Holy  Spirit's purpose has given it is also given to every situation. It
Tx:17.76  faithlessness is laid aside unused. And then the power of the Holy  Spirit's purpose is free to use instead. This power instantly
Tx:18.28  Your desire is now in complete accord with all the power of the Holy  Spirit's will. No little, faltering footsteps that you may take can
Tx:18.39  it is not personally insulting that your contribution and the Holy  Spirit's are so extremely disproportionate. You are still convinced

Tx:18.42  Never attempt to overlook your guilt before you ask the Holy  Spirit's help. That is His function. Your part is only to offer Him a
Tx:18.44  to understand. You do not even realize you have accepted the Holy  Spirit's purpose as your own, and you would merely bring unholy means
Tx:19.4  from being healed. Your faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy  Spirit's purpose and brought illusions centered on the body to stand
Tx:19.12  for knowledge as is the real world. For faith arises from the Holy  Spirit's perception and is the sign you share it with Him. Faith is a
Tx:19.37  extending past completely unhindered. The extension of the Holy  Spirit's purpose from your relationship to others to bring them
Tx:19.39  the peace in you has been extended to encompass everyone, the Holy  Spirit's function here will be accomplished. What need is there for
Tx:19.42 The Holy  Spirit's purpose rests in peace within you. Yet you are still

Tx:20.9  have asked for and received another sight. Those who accept the Holy  Spirit's purpose as their own share also His vision. And what enables
Tx:20.10  not. Nor can you use what I have given unless you share it. The Holy  Spirit's vision is no idle gift, no plaything to be tossed about a
Tx:20.33  must enter here to learn its special function in the Holy  Spirit's plan, now that it shares His purpose. And as this purpose is
Tx:20.49 The Holy  Spirit's temple is not a body, but a relationship. The body is an
Tx:20.50 You cannot make the body the Holy  Spirit's temple, and it will never be the seat of love. It is the
Tx:20.51  Your temple is not threatened. You are idolaters no longer. The Holy  Spirit's purpose lies safe in your relationship and not your bodies.
Tx:20.58  bring you only joy. But we have also said the means to meet the Holy  Spirit's goal will come from the same Source as does His purpose.
Tx:20.66  that his sinlessness is your escape from fear. Salvation is the Holy  Spirit's goal. The means is vision. For what the seeing look upon is
Tx:20.69  sinlessness is given you in shining light, to look on with the Holy  Spirit's vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace will come
Tx:21.40  upon quite differently. You can have faith in it to serve the Holy  Spirit's goal and give it power to serve as means to help the blind
Tx:21.44  And what your reason tells you now, the ego would not hear. The Holy  Spirit's purpose was accepted by the part of your mind the ego knows
Tx:21.44  no sin. How, otherwise, could it have been willing to see the Holy  Spirit's purpose as its own?
Tx:21.45  And now you recognize that it was not the ego that joined the Holy  Spirit's purpose, and so there must be something else. Think not that
Tx:21.55  and you have gone past this. Reason is a means which serves the Holy  Spirit's purpose in its own right. It is not reinterpreted and
Tx:21.57  with your Father's to the undoing of insanity. Here was the Holy  Spirit's purpose accepted and accomplished both at once. Reason is
Tx:22.21  ego must be made complete. For if you have the means to let the Holy  Spirit's purpose be accomplished, they can be used. And through their
Tx:22.59  your Father loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness is the Holy  Spirit's function. Leave this to Him. Let your concern be only that
Tx:25.9  as one, aware that it is one and so experienced. It is the Holy  Spirit's function to teach you how this oneness is experienced, what
Tx:25.46 Such is the Holy  Spirit's kind perception of specialness—His use of what you made,
Tx:25.67  denies that it is real. It is impossible for you to share the Holy  Spirit's justice with a mind that can conceive of specialness at all.
Tx:25.67  for those who still believe sin meaningful to understand the Holy  Spirit's justice.
Tx:25.75  He shares. His understanding will be yours. And so the Holy  Spirit's special function has been fulfilled. God's Son has found a
Tx:25.76  must be an injustice to them both, since they are equal in the Holy  Spirit's sight. Their Father gave the same inheritance to both. Who
Tx:25.81  of innocence makes punishment impossible and justice sure. The Holy  Spirit's perception leaves no ground for an attack. Only a loss could
Tx:25.82  added to the first, in which the murder is not obvious. The Holy  Spirit's problem solving is the way in which the problem ends. It has
Tx:25.84  Son be more unfair than he has sought to be. If miracles, the Holy  Spirit's gift, were given specially to an elect and special group and
Tx:26.9  back the gift of freedom by receiving it of you. What is the Holy  Spirit's special function but to release the holy Son of God from the
Tx:26.16  not want. And you will see each little hurt resolved before the Holy  Spirit's gentle sight. For all of them are little in His sight and
Tx:26.76  its form is changed and what it is cannot be recognized. The Holy  Spirit's purpose now is yours. Should not His happiness be yours as
Tx:26.84  Son return to what is Theirs and will forever be. Now is the Holy  Spirit's purpose done. For They have come! For They have come at last!
Tx:26.89  And this you seek to add unto the purpose given it. The Holy  Spirit's purpose is to let the Presence of your holy Guests be known
Tx:27.10  of the proof that what your function is can never be! The Holy  Spirit's picture changes not the body into something it is not. It
Tx:27.24  correction is the same as pardon, then you also know the Holy  Spirit's mind and yours are one. And so your own Identity is found.
Tx:28.5 The Holy  Spirit's use of memory is quite apart from time. He does not seek to
Tx:28.44 The Holy  Spirit's function is to take the broken picture of the Son of God and
Tx:30.87  while the symbols which are used mean different things? The Holy  Spirit's goal gives one interpretation, meaningful to you and to your

Tx:31.51 Thus are the Holy  Spirit's lesson plans arranged in easy steps that though there be

W1:66.12  ego ever proposed. Yet the ego is the only alternative to the Holy  Spirit's Voice. You will listen to madness or hear the truth. Try to
W1:89.5  all grievances. By this idea do I unite my will with the Holy  Spirit's and perceive them as one. By this idea do I accept my
W1:R3.7  trust and confidence and faith. It will not fail. It is the Holy  Spirit's chosen means for your salvation. Since it has His trust, His
W1:159.6 This is the Holy  Spirit's single gift—the treasure house to which you can appeal
W2:WIHS.2 The goal the Holy  Spirit's teaching sets is just this end of dreams. For sights and

M:25.6  Yet here is also a great channel of hope and healing in the Holy  Spirit's service. Those who have developed “psychic” powers have
M:28.1  about the meaning of the world. It is the acceptance of the Holy  Spirit's interpretation of the world's purpose; the acceptance of the

M:29.2  is highly individualized. And all aspects are under the Holy  Spirit's particular care and guidance. Ask and He will answer. The

Tx:27.43  Here are the answers which will solve your problems because they  stand apart from them, and see what can be answered—what the

Tx:28.38  by not accepting them as causing you and giving you effects. You  stand apart from them but not apart from him who dreams them. Thus
Tx:28.41  if you do your part, he will do his, for he will join you where you  stand. Call not to him to meet you in the gap between you, or you
Tx:28.66  with no effect. The world will wash away, and yet this house will  stand forever, for its strength lies not within itself alone. It is

W1:161.1 Today we practice differently and take a  stand against our anger, that our fears may disappear and offer room

Tx:14.46 When no perception  stands between God and His creations, or between His Children and

Tx:16.55  do not want this. For every idol which you raise to place before Him  stands before you in place of what you are.
Tx:18.11  your relationship is as it was created.] The universe within you  stands with you, together. And Heaven looks with love on what is
Tx:18.55  violence, and death. This thing you made to serve your guilt  stands between you and other minds. The minds are joined, but you do
Tx:18.83  for He would have you know Him. Only a little wall of dust still  stands between you. Blow on it lightly and with happy laughter, and

Tx:19.103 Behold your Friend, the Christ Who  stands beside you. How holy and how beautiful He is! You thought He
Tx:20.11  to you now. Who is afraid to look upon illusions, knowing his savior  stands beside him? With him, your vision has become the greatest
Tx:21.37  afraid. The gift that He has given you is more than anything that  stands this side of Heaven. The instant for its recognition is at
Tx:21.63  you see it if you heard the voice of reason. What can there be that  stands between what is continuous? And if there is nothing in
Tx:22.33  distorted form of vision, the outside of everything, the wall that  stands between you and the truth, is wholly true. Yet how can sight
Tx:22.40  Let it be lifted! Raise it together, for it is but a veil that  stands between you. Either alone will see it as a solid block, nor
Tx:22.44  through its nothingness. It is no solid wall. And only an illusion  stands between you and the holy Self you share.
Tx:22.49 If you but recognized how little  stands between you and your awareness of your union! Be not deceived
Tx:23.3  from the illusion of harmfulness. And what seemed harmful now  stands shining in their innocence, released from sin and fear, and

Tx:23.46  one illusion of protection stands against the faith in murder. Here  stands the body, torn between the natural desire to communicate and

Tx:24.18  can understand, and one which brings release to both of you. Here  stands your brother with the key to Heaven in his hand held out to
Tx:24.20  blessing and in peace so real and so encompassing that nothing  stands outside. Leave all illusions of yourself outside this place to
Tx:24.27  form of specialness you cherish, you have made sin. Inviolate it  stands, strongly defended with all your puny might against the Will
Tx:24.27  with all your puny might against the Will of God. And thus it  stands against yourself; your enemy, not God's. So does it seem to
Tx:24.29  Nor is it possible the two can ever be the same while specialness  stands like a flaming sword of death between them and makes them
Tx:24.56  will think it is until you realize that it is not a part of him who  stands beside you. He is the mirror of yourself wherein you see the
Tx:24.59 Specialness is the function which you gave yourself. It  stands for you alone, as self-created, self-maintained, in need of

Tx:26.29  has joined with but a single voice. This tiny spot of sin that  stands between you still is holding back the happy opening of
Tx:26.37 Is this a hindrance to the place whereon he  stands? Is any echo from the past that he may hear a fact in what is
Tx:26.54  but your wish to be apart and separate. Forgiveness takes away what  stands between your brother and yourself. It is the wish that you be
Tx:26.72  protected and kept separate from healing. For a miracle is now. It  stands already here in present grace, within the only interval of

Tx:26.86  effects of any kind. Their Presence is obscured by any veil which  stands between Their shining innocence and your awareness it is your

Tx:27.30  above all, a “living-death.” And so he has no meaning to you, for he  stands for what is meaningless. He represents a double thought, where
Tx:27.30  by the half it canceled out, and so they both are gone. And now he  stands for nothing. Symbols which but represent ideas that cannot be
Tx:27.47 What  stands apart from you when you accept the blessing that the holy

Tx:30.74  if there were, it would be necessary first there be some sin which  stands beyond forgiveness. There would be an error that is more than
Tx:30.88  solitude, for what you see means nothing. It will shift in what it  stands for, and you will believe the world is an uncertain place in
Tx:31.74 The concept of the self  stands like a shield, a silent barricade before the truth, and hides
Tx:31.75  himself in him. Thus is the concept of himself laid by, for nothing  stands between his sight and what he looks upon to judge what he
Tx:31.82  vision is withheld, and what they see is death. Their savior  stands, unknowing and unknown, beholding them with eyes unopened. And
W1:29.3  what is in them? Nothing is as it appears to you. Its holy purpose  stands beyond your little range. When vision has shown you the
W1:39.3  world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, the whole world  stands to benefit.
W1:39.8  on any one in particular, search your mind for every thought that  stands between you and your salvation. Apply the idea for today to
W1:66.13  different as different. On one side stand all illusions. All truth  stands on the other. Let us try today to realize that only the truth
W1:69.1  your grievances are hiding the light of the world in you, everyone  stands in darkness, and you beside him. But as the veil of your
W1:72.8  Others love the body and try to glorify and exalt it. But while it  stands at the center of your concept of yourself, you are attacking
W1:73.9 Today it is the ego which  stands powerless before your will. Your will is free, and nothing can
W1:78.1  you make is one between a grievance and a miracle. Each grievance  stands like a dark shield of hate before the miracle it would

W1:78.9  as the one for me to ask to lead me to the holy light In which he  stands, that I may join with him.

W1:97.4 You are the Spirit in whose mind abides the miracle in which all time  stands still; the miracle in which a minute spent in using these
W1:98.2  everything we need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake  stands in our way, for we have been absolved from errors. All our
W1:107.6  Illusions can be brought to truth to be corrected. But the truth  stands far beyond illusions and cannot be brought to them to turn
W1:107.7  in that, evading capture and escaping grasp. It does not hide. It  stands in open light, in obvious accessibility. It is impossible that
W1:122.5  Be thankful it remains exactly as He planned it. Changelessly it  stands before you, like an open door with warmth and welcome calling
W1:134.7 Forgiveness is the only thing that  stands for truth in the illusions of the world. It sees their
W1:134.10  condemn. In truth is innocence the only thing there is. Forgiveness  stands between illusions and the truth, between the world you see and
W1:151.12  resurrection, for your life is not a part of anything you see. It  stands beyond the body and the world, past every witness for
W1:169.13  grace provided you. You carry them back to yourself. And revelation  stands not far behind. Its coming is ensured. We ask for grace and

Tx:19.56 I am made welcome in the  state of grace, which means you have at last forgiven me. For I
Tx:20.52  are or not. An unholy relationship is no relationship. It is a  state of isolation which seems to be what it is not. No more than
Tx:21.1  less. Therefore, to you it is important. It is the witness to your  state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a man
Tx:21.8 Listen—perhaps you catch a hint of an ancient  state not quite forgotten; dim, perhaps, and yet not altogether
Tx:21.32  For faith and vision and belief are meaningful only before the  state of certainty is reached. In Heaven they are unknown. Yet Heaven

Tx:22.31  salvation in itself, but it makes way for peace and brings you to a  state of mind in which salvation can be given you. Sin is a block,
Tx:22.37  real. Yet reason sees a holy relationship as what it is—a common  state of mind, where both give errors gladly to correction that both
Tx:22.47  you in quiet, undefended and wholly undefending, for in this quiet  state alone is strength and power. Here can no weakness enter, for
Tx:23.13  yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two illusions is a  state where nothing happens. There is no victor, and there is no
Tx:23.18  in which fear is born and grows and seeks to dominate. Peace is the  state where love abides and seeks to share itself. Conflict and peace
Tx:23.37  of Heaven. Where God created life, there life must be. In any  state apart from Heaven, life is illusion. At best, it seems like
Tx:24.1  motivation for this course is the attainment and the keeping of the  state of peace. Given this state the mind is quiet, and the condition
Tx:24.1  is the attainment and the keeping of the state of peace. Given this  state the mind is quiet, and the condition in which God is remembered
Tx:24.29  foundation nothing is secure. Would God have left His Son in such a  state, where safety has no meaning? No, His Son is safe, resting on
Tx:24.67  End. In Heaven, means and end are one, and one with Him. This is the  state of true creation, found not within time, but in eternity. To no
Tx:25.6  what you want yourself to be—the world you want to live in and the  state in which you think your mind will be content and satisfied. It

Tx:25.36  home? Nothing before and nothing after it. No other place, no other  state nor time. Nothing beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any form.
Tx:25.37 The  state of sinlessness is merely this: the whole desire to attack is
Tx:25.64  impossible. Have little faith that wisdom could be found in such a  state of mind. But be you thankful that only little faith is asked of
Tx:25.81  The world solves problems in another way. It sees a resolution as a  state in which it is decided who shall win and who shall lose—how
Tx:25.82  the problem still remain unsolved, for only justice can set up a  state in which there is no loser, no one left unfairly treated and

Tx:27.37  every problem can be answered now. Yet it must also be that in your  state of mind solution is impossible. Therefore, God must have given
Tx:27.37  Therefore, God must have given you a way of reaching to another  state of mind in which the answer is already there. Such is the holy
Tx:27.41  merely asks what the response should be. But no one in a conflict  state is free to ask this question, for he does not want an honest
Tx:27.46  From there each one is born into this world as witness to a  state of mind which has transcended conflict and has reached to
Tx:28.4  Yet this is not a memory of past events, but only of a present  state. You are so long accustomed to believe that memory holds only
Tx:29.1 There is no time, no place, no  state where God is absent. There is nothing to be feared. There is no
Tx:29.15  it seems to be in constant change. Yet what is that except the  state confusion really means? Stability to those who are confused is
Tx:29.16  the larger dream that change is possible. To change is to attain a  state unlike the one in which you found yourself before. There is no
Tx:30.57 The real world is the  state of mind in which the only purpose of the world is seen to be
Tx:30.61  yet completely shared and perfectly fulfilled. The real world is a  state in which the mind has learned how easily do idols go when they

Tx:31.11  an outcome that you do not want? It is the recognition that it is a  state of mind unwanted that becomes the means whereby the choice is

W1:167.2 In this world there appears to be a  state that is life's opposite. You call it death. Yet we have learned

W1:169.8  set for revelation is entirely irrelevant to what must be a constant  state, forever as it always was; forever to remain as it is now. We
W1:170.1  brings you freedom. And you mean that to attack is to exchange the  state in which you are for something better, safer, more secure from
W1:R5.6  in Its knowledge and Its love, and never changes from Its constant  state of union with Its Father and Itself.
W1:183.10 Today you can achieve a  state in which you will experience the gifts of grace. You can escape
W1:196.4 Today's idea is one step we take in leading us from bondage to the  state of perfect freedom. Let us take this step today that we may

Tx:9.21 We have repeatedly  stated that beliefs of the ego cannot be shared, and this is why they

Tx:12.7 This course has explicitly  stated that its goal for you is happiness and peace. Yet you are
Tx:15.40  not to recognize it and not to let it go. The simple reason, simply  stated, is this: The holy instant is a time in which you receive and
W1:6.4  thoughts more than to others, remind yourself of the two cautions  stated in the previous lesson:
W1:28.7  two minute practice periods today in which the idea for the day is  stated first and then applied to whatever you see in looking about

W1:39.11  of applying it. However you elect to use it, the idea should be  stated so that its meaning remains that your holiness is your
W1:46.12  should end, however, with a repetition of today's idea as originally  stated.
W1:132.6 Ideas leave not their source. This central theme is often  stated in the text and must be borne in mind if you would understand
W1:R4.2  unifies each step in the review we undertake, which can be simply  stated in these words:
W1:154.13 Our lesson for today is  stated thus:

M:27.7 Teacher of God, your one assignment could be  stated thus: accept no compromise in which death plays a part. Do not

Tx:30.80 Here is the joyful  statement that there are no forms of evil which can overcome the Will

W1:13.8  to avoid resistance in one form or another to this concluding  statement. Whatever form such resistance may take, remind yourself

Tx:23.55 Those with the  strength of God in their awareness could never think of battle. What

Tx:24.62  snatch it from Him. What is this son that you have made to be your  strength? What is this child of earth on whom such love is lavished?
Tx:25.19  His sinlessness but pictures yours. His gentleness becomes your  strength, and both will gladly look within and see the holiness that

Tx:25.71  to save from punishment. But vengeance without love has gained in  strength by being separate and apart from love. And what but
Tx:27.29  weaken it, and weakened power is a contradiction in ideas. Weak  strength is meaningless, and power used to weaken is employed to
Tx:27.60  a miracle is to accomplish this. And God Himself has guaranteed the  strength of miracles for what they witness to. Be witnesses unto the
Tx:28.66  world will wash away, and yet this house will stand forever, for its  strength lies not within itself alone. It is an ark of safety,
Tx:29.8  the body to maintain. You do not fear its weakness, but its lack of  strength or weakness. Would you recognize that nothing stands between

W1:63.2 You are indeed the light of the world with  such a function. The Son of God looks to you for his redemption. It
W1:63.5  you should devote to considering this. Do not, however, wait for  such an opportunity. No chance should be lost for reinforcing today's
W1:64.6  very simple. Each one will lead to happiness or unhappiness. Can  such a simple decision really be difficult to make? Let not the form

W1:67.5 After you have gone over several  such related thoughts, try to let all thoughts drop away for a brief
W1:71.5  Such is the ego's plan for your salvation. Surely you can see how it

W1:73.7 Suffering is not happiness, and it is happiness you really want.  Such is your will in truth. And so salvation is your will as well.
W1:74.5 Then spend several minutes in adding some related thoughts,  such as:
W1:78.6  Holy Spirit has assigned to him. Let him be savior unto you today.  Such is his role in God your Father's plan.

W1:92.9  where they meet, your Self stands ready to embrace you as Its own.  Such is the meeting place we try today to find and rest in, for the
W1:93.3  what you think, but from a very different reference point from which  such idle thoughts are meaningless. These thoughts are not according

W1:127.2  these things of love is not to understand it. If it could make  such distinctions it would have to judge between the righteous and
W1:129.6  Such is the choice. What loss can be for you in choosing not to value
W1:130.3  you want that this is shown to you? What would you wish to keep in  such a dream?
W1:131.2  which you strive for them are meaningless as they are. Who can use  such senseless means and hope through them to gain in anything? Where
W1:131.14  think is real. Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with  such a world and which you think are true. Then let them go, and sink
W1:134.1  unjustified and undeserved, and a complete denial of the truth. In  such a view, forgiveness must be seen as mere eccentric folly, and
W1:134.5 Pardon is no escape in  such a view. It merely is a further sign that sin is unforgivable, at
W1:135.5  to protect itself, and needing your defense. What but the body has  such frailty that constant care and watchful, deep concern are
W1:135.7 Is not this picture fearful? Can you be at peace with  such a concept of your home? Yet what endowed the body with the right
W1:135.8  beyond its scope, and to exalted aims which it cannot accomplish.  Such attempts, ridiculous yet deeply cherished, are the sources for
W1:136.11  Such is your planning for your own defense. And you believe that
W1:136.11  for your own defense. And you believe that Heaven quails before  such mad attacks as these, with God made blind by your illusions,
W1:136.13  Such is the simple truth. It does not make appeal to might nor
W1:136.13  which would alter it. Truth merely wants to give you happiness, for  such its purpose is. Perhaps it sighs a little when you throw away
W1:137.14 Yet must we be prepared for  such a gift. And so we will begin the day with this and give ten
W1:138.7  today considering the choice that time was made to help us make.  Such is its holy purpose, now transformed from the intent you gave
W1:139.8  not allow our holy minds to occupy themselves with senseless musings  such as this. We have a mission here. We did not come to reinforce
W1:R4.1  we will begin to concentrate on readiness for what will follow next.  Such is our aim for this review and for the lessons following. Thus
W1:R4.1  Thus we review the recent lessons and their central thoughts in  such a way as will facilitate the readiness which we would now
W1:151.5  remains the hidden doubt that what it shows you as reality with  such conviction it does not believe. It is itself alone that it
W1:151.7  your ears, nor what your fingers' touch reports of him. He passes by  such idle witnesses, which merely bear false witness to God's Son. He
W1:151.12  Such is your resurrection, for your life is not a part of anything
W1:151.16  Such is your Eastertide. And so you lay the gift of snow-white lilies
W1:152.6  die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think He made a world where  such things seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only madness
W1:153.8 We will not play  such childish games today. For our true purpose is to save the world,
W1:154.1  us today be neither arrogant nor falsely humble. We have gone beyond  such foolishness. We cannot judge ourselves, nor need we do so. These
W1:155.8  Such is salvation's call, and nothing more. It asks that you accept
W1:156.6  but who would waste an instant in approach to God Himself for  such a senseless whim?
W1:160.1  that it is real but different from yourself. Who could be sane in  such a circumstance? Who but a madman could believe he is what he is
W1:161.4  all brothers. Every mind contains all minds, for every mind is one.  Such is the truth. Yet do these thoughts make clear the meaning of
W1:161.7  There must be a thing to be attacked. An enemy must be perceived in  such a form he can be touched and seen and heard and ultimately
W1:163.1  in which the wish to be as you are not may come to tempt you. All  such thoughts are but reflections of the worshipping of death as
W1:163.4 Would you bow down to idols  such as this? Here is the strength and might of God Himself perceived
W1:166.3 The gifts of God are not acceptable to anyone who holds  such strange beliefs. He must believe that, to accept God's gifts,
W1:166.15  which chooses to accept His gifts and feel the touch of Christ.  Such is your mission now. For God entrusts the giving of His gifts to
W1:167.7 The opposite of life can only be another form of life. As  such, it can be reconciled with what created it because it is not
W1:168.6  to Him, for what He has prepared for us He gives and we receive.  Such is His Will because He loves His Son. To Him we pray today,
W1:170.6  as merely foolish. And your arms indeed would crumble into dust. For  such they are.
W1:I2.1  you are asked to practice now in order to attain the sense of peace  such unified commitment will bestow, if only intermittently. It is
W1:181.3 Therefore in practicing today, we first let all  such little focuses give way to our great need to let our sinlessness
W1:181.6 So, for a little while, without regard to past or future, should  such blocks arise, we will transcend them with instructions to our
W1:184.7  Such is the teaching of the world. It is a phase of learning everyone
W1:185.6  can understand. Whatever form the lesson takes is planned for him in  such a way that he cannot mistake it if his asking is sincere. And if
W1:186.9 Is this the Son of God? Could He create  such instability and call it Son? He Who is changeless shares His
W1:186.14  still. Salvation of the world depends on you who can forgive.  Such is your function here.
W1:187.9  with the ones you offer him beside them. Who could fear to look upon  such lovely holiness? The great illusion of the fear of God
W1:189.2 Who could feel fear in  such a world as this? It welcomes you, rejoices that you came, and
W1:190.1  He sees in him, and His insane desire for revenge and death. Can  such projections be attested to? Can they be anything but wholly
W1:190.4 Peace to  such foolishness! The time has come to laugh at such insane ideas.
W1:190.4 Peace to such foolishness! The time has come to laugh at  such insane ideas. There is no need to think of them as savage crimes
W1:192.1  in its name, forever one with God and with your Self. Yet what can  such a function mean within a world of envy, hatred, and attack?
W1:195.1  seems to suffer more than they. How pitiful and deprecating are  such thoughts! For who has cause for thanks while others have less
W1:196.6  Such is the form of madness you believe if you accept the fearful
W1:198.2 Condemn and you are made a prisoner. Forgive and you are freed.  Such is the law that rules perception. It is not a law that knowledge
W1:199.2  and power to do whatever it is asked. Attack thoughts cannot enter  such a mind because it has been given to the Source of Love. And fear
W1:200.7  to his own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to find in  such a world? It cannot have reality because it never was created. Is
W1:R6.10  for the day, and let it take the place of what you thought. Beyond  such special applications of each day's idea, we will add but few
W2:WF.5  certain of your ultimate success. He has forgiven you already, for  such is His function given Him by God. Now must you share His
W2:WS.2  the instant that his mind had thought of war. There was no need for  such a thought before, for peace was given without opposite and
W2:WIW.2  from Him. Here was perception born, for knowledge could not cause  such insane thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. Now
W2:254.2 Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. When  such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and look at them, and then
W2:263.1  what You created as if it could be made sinful? I would not perceive  such dark and fearful images. A madman's dream is hardly fit to be my
W2:273.1  feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how  such a day can be achieved. If we give way to a disturbance, let us
W2:282.2 Father, Your Name is Love, and so is mine.  Such is the truth. And can the truth be changed by merely giving it
W2:284.1  any cause at all. And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream.  Such is the truth—at first to be but said and then repeated many
W2:WIRW.3 What need has  such a mind for thoughts of death, attack, and murder? What can it
W2:308.1 I have conceived of time in  such a way that I defeat my aim. If I elect to reach past time to
W2:323.1  awareness, healing him of pain and giving him Your own eternal joy.  Such is the “sacrifice” You ask of me, and one I gladly make, the
W2:334.1  out of thoughts that rest on false perception. Let me not accept  such meager gifts again today. God's Voice is offering the peace of
W2:359.1  Sons of God. What You created sinless so abides forever and forever.  Such are we. And we rejoice to learn that we have made mistakes which
M:1.4  of God are appointed to bring about. For time is in their hands.  Such was their choice, and it is given them.
M:4.7  on behalf of truth. He has not realized as yet how wholly impossible  such a demand would be. He can learn this only as he actually does
M:4.11  no act belies your word; and no word lacks agreement with another.  Such are the truly honest. At no level are they in conflict with
M:4.24  in newness and in joy so glorious they could never have conceived of  such a change. Nothing is now as it was formerly. Nothing but
M:5.4  attempts to endow the body with non-mental motivators. Actually,  such terms merely state or describe the problem. They do not answer
M:6.3  with it to be sure it is used as the giver deems appropriate?  Such is not giving but imprisoning.
M:7.4  of continuing symptoms is a mistake in the form of lack of trust. As  such, it is an attack. Usually it seems to be just the opposite. It
M:7.5  implies that trust has been placed in an illusory self, for only  such a self can be doubted. This illusion can take many forms.
M:10.4  right, without ever realizing you were wrong? Why would you choose  such an arbitrary basis for decision-making? Wisdom is not judgment;
M:13.2  except to a body? Yet a body cannot evaluate. By seeking after  such things, the mind associates itself with the body, obscuring its
M:16.2  those who have not reached his certainty? They are not yet ready for  such lack of structuring on their own part. What must they do to
M:16.2  each one must use them as best he can in his own way. Routines as  such are dangerous because they easily become gods in their own
M:17.8  stands out like an intense white light against a black horizon, for  such it is. If anger comes from an interpretation and not a fact, it
M:19.3  all thought of wholeness must be lost. Forgiveness has no place in  such a scheme, for not one “sin” but seems forever true.
M:22.3  Spirit unless the body is killed? And who would want salvation at  such a price?
M:23.4 The name of Jesus Christ as  such is but a symbol. But it stands for love that is not of this
M:24.1  way? Like many other beliefs, it can be bitterly misused. At least,  such misuse offers preoccupation and perhaps pride in the past. At
M:24.4  reversal of thought. When this is finally accomplished, issues  such as the validity of reincarnation become meaningless. Until then
M:24.4  The teacher of God is therefore wise to step away from all  such questions, for he has much to teach and learn apart from them.
M:26.2  when and where it is helpful for them to do so. To those to whom  such appearances would be frightening, they give their ideas. No one
M:27.2  perhaps today. Or if he waits, yet is the ending certain. Who loves  such a god knows not of love, because he has denied that life is
M:28.3  last. How quickly will it come as it is asked to enter and envelop  such a world!
M:29.4  it knows all things because you have given that belief to it.  Such is your teaching and the teaching of the world which was made to

Tx:21.87  any kind. It is unshakable as is the love of God for His creation.  Sure in its vision as its Creator is in what He knows, it looks on
Tx:22.18  reason's eyes can be confused with joy. Joy is eternal. You can be  sure indeed that any seeming happiness that does not last is really
Tx:22.52  Spirit waits in gentle patience, as certain of the outcome as He is  sure of His Creator's love. He knows this mad decision was made by
Tx:23.2  again. It is as certain you will fear what you attack as it is  sure that you will love what you perceive as sinless. He walks in
Tx:23.16  those who would remember Him. Over His home the Holy Spirit watches,  sure that its peace can never be disturbed.
Tx:23.30 But what is it you want that needs his death? Can you be  sure your murderous attack is justified unless you know what it is
Tx:23.40  in your awareness? Are you certain which way you go? And are you  sure the goal of Heaven can be reached? If not, you walk alone. Ask,
Tx:24.26  wholly, when he would not receive it for himself? For it is  sure he would receive it wholly the instant that he gave it so. And
Tx:24.49  God is here and with you now. While he is what he is, you can be  sure that God is knowable and will be known to you. For He could
Tx:24.61  believe it easier to see your brother's body than his holiness, be  sure you understand what made this judgment. Here is the voice of
Tx:24.71  evidence beyond itself and no escape within its sight. Its course is  sure when seen through its own eyes. It grows and withers, flourishes

Tx:25.24  He could not enter His Son's insanity with him, but He could be  sure His sanity went there with him so he could not be lost forever
Tx:25.50  sin is a request for death, a wish to make this world's foundation  sure as love, dependable as Heaven, and as strong as God Himself. The
Tx:25.51  for life. Nor can the basis of a world He did not make be firm and  sure as Heaven. How could it be that hell and Heaven are the same?
Tx:25.81 The sight of innocence makes punishment impossible and justice  sure. The Holy Spirit's perception leaves no ground for an attack.
Tx:26.46  not of this world, and only He to whom they have been given can make  sure that you receive them. He will place them on your throne when
Tx:27.12  this—to let the body have no purpose from the past, when you were  sure you knew its purpose was to foster guilt. For this insists your
Tx:27.68  you, uninvited and unasked, must really be. Of one thing you were  sure—of all the many causes you perceived as bringing pain and
Tx:28.37  or anything, depending on whose evil dream you share. You can be  sure of just one thing—that you are evil, for you share in dreams
Tx:29.24  that shines within the dream—that you can help him waken and be  sure his waking eyes will rest on you. And in his glad salvation, you
Tx:29.60  and on you as one with Him? God gave you all there is. And to be  sure you could not lose it, did He also give the same to every living
Tx:29.69  a certainty of help, a calm assurance Heaven goes with you—be  sure you made an idol and believe it will betray you. For beneath

Tx:30.59  in his purpose with himself. There is a hope of happiness in him so  sure and constant he can barely stay and wait a little longer with
Tx:30.71 Pardon is always justified. It has a  sure foundation. You do not forgive the unforgivable nor overlook a
Tx:30.73  impossible His pardon could be real. Thus is the fear of God the  sure result of seeing pardon as unmerited. No one who sees himself as
Tx:31.6  for Him. Which lesson will you learn? What outcome is inevitable,  sure as God, and far beyond all doubt and question? Can it be your
Tx:31.35 There is no choice where every end is  sure. Perhaps you would prefer to try them all before you really
Tx:31.58  of the world is loosening its grasp upon your mind. And be you  sure and happy in the confidence that it will go at last and leave
Tx:31.95  brothers as they are Your Sons. My faith in them is Yours. I am as  sure that they will come to me as You are sure of what they are and
Tx:31.95  in them is Yours. I am as sure that they will come to me as You are  sure of what they are and will forever be. They will accept the gift

W1:1.5  you see, for these exercises should not become ritualistic. Only be  sure that nothing you see is specifically excluded. One thing is like

W1:12.6 Be  sure that you do not alter the time intervals between applying
W1:23.9 In the practice periods, be  sure to include both your thoughts of attacking and of being
W1:27.1  feel hesitant about using the idea on the ground that you are not  sure you really mean it. This does not matter. The purpose of today's

W1:34.4  unhurried manner, without applying it to anything in particular. Be  sure, however, not to make any specific exclusions.
W1:43.7  this part of the exercise period should be relatively short, be  sure that you select the subjects for this phase indiscriminately,
W1:46.13  for today in the original or in a related form as you prefer. Be  sure, however, to make more specific applications if they are needed.
W1:48.3 The presence of fear is a  sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. The awareness

W1:91.9  a real experience of something else, something more solid and more  sure, more worthy of your faith, and really there.
W1:91.14  intervals remind yourself that miracles are seen in light. Also, be  sure to meet temptation with today's idea. This form would be helpful
W1:92.8  till the morning comes again. The light of strength is constant,  sure as love, forever glad to give itself away because it cannot give
W1:94.9  yourself frequently today that you are as God created you. And be  sure to respond to anyone who seems to irritate you with these words:
W1:95.20  all the world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet today be  sure to give the promise of today's idea and tell him this:

W1:98.13  which He would have you take and help you fill, and He will make you  sure you want this choice, which He has made with you and you with
W1:99.6  and sees them as appearances behind which is the changeless and the  sure. This is the thought which saves and which forgives, because it
W1:99.9 You who will yet work miracles, be  sure you practice well the idea for today. Try to perceive the
W1:102.7  that you have now accepted happiness as your one function. And be  sure that you are joining with God's Will in doing this.
W1:107.6  not falter in the face of pain but looks beyond it, steadily and  sure. Here is the gift of healing, for the truth needs no defense,
W1:107.9  is not our approach today. We are as certain of success as we are  sure we live and hope and breathe and think. We do not doubt we walk
W1:108.13  today as quick advances in your learning, made still faster and more  sure each time you say:
W1:R3.2  time. Nor is it necessary that you make excessive efforts to be  sure that you catch up in terms of numbers. Rituals are not our aim
W1:122.1  transcends the world? Do you want care and safety and the warmth of  sure protection always? Do you want a quietness that cannot be
W1:122.11  happiness as you begin these practice periods, for they hold out the  sure rewards of questions answered, and what your acceptance of the
W1:124.11  a sight too holy for the body's eyes to see, and yet you can be  sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will understand
W1:126.1  would be no problem in complete forgiveness, certainty of goal, and  sure direction. You would understand the means by which salvation
W1:126.5  be true, forgiveness has no grounds on which to rest dependably and  sure. It is an eccentricity in which you sometimes choose to give
W1:128.7  it goes to rest when you release it from the world. Your Guide is  sure. Open your mind to Him. Be still and rest.
W1:135.22  confidence, for this is part of what was planned for us. We will be  sure that everything we need is given us for our accomplishment of

W1:152.6  the world you see is arrogance? God made it not. Of this you can be  sure. What can He know of the ephemeral, the sinful and the guilty,

W1:156.2  It cannot contradict itself nor be in parts uncertain and in others  sure. You cannot walk the world apart from God because you could not
W1:157.2  possibly attain. It leaves us there an instant and we go beyond it,  sure of our direction and our only goal.
W1:157.7  And you who bring it light will come to see the light more  sure, the vision more distinct.

W1:161.16 Today's idea is your safe escape from anger and from fear. Be  sure you use it instantly, should you be tempted to attack a brother

W1:2.2  Take the subjects simply as you see them. Try to apply the exercise
W1:13.8  to this concluding statement. Whatever form such resistance may  take, remind yourself that you are really afraid of such a thought
W1:15.3 As we go along, you may have many “light episodes.” They may  take many different forms, some of them quite unexpected. Do not be
W1:21.2  present or anticipated, which arouse anger in you. The anger may  take the form of any reaction ranging from mild irritation to rage.
W1:26.3  no longer believe in yourself. A false image of yourself has come to  take the place of what you are.
W1:26.6  situations whose outcomes are causing you concern. The concern may  take the form of depression, worry, anger, a sense of imposition,

W1:34.5  form of temptation arises in your awareness, the exercise should  take this form:
W1:34.7 If the inroads on your peace of mind  take the form of more generalized adverse emotions, such as
W1:34.7  idea to help you change your mind in any specific context, try to  take several minutes and devote them to repeating the idea until you

W1:39.6  fear, worry, attack, insecurity, and so on. Whatever form they  take, they are unloving and therefore fearful. And so it is from them
W1:40.3 Today's exercises  take little time and no effort. Repeat today's idea, and then add
W1:41.2  And foolishness it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may  take. Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate
W1:45.4 Our three five-minute practice periods for today will  take the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's idea.
W1:45.12  to you to understand the holiness of the mind that thinks with God.  Take a minute or two as you repeat the idea throughout the day to
W1:48.2  and in any situation. It is strongly recommended, however, that you  take a minute or so whenever possible to close your eyes and repeat
W1:48.3  you recognize as yet, you have remembered God and let His strength  take the place of yours. The instant you are willing to do this,
W1:51.2  let it go by realizing that it has no meaning so that vision may  take its place.

W1:61.9  necessary. This is the first of a number of giant steps we will  take in the next few weeks. Try today to begin to build a firm
W1:62.3  all sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your mind. It will  take away all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the

W1:66.16 It will not  take more than a minute, and probably less, to repeat these words
W1:72.1  which are actually associated with the ego, while the ego appears to  take on the attributes of God.
W1:72.7  As a body, do not let yourself be deprived of what the body offers.  Take the little you can get. God gave you nothing. The body is your

W1:78.12 We will remember this throughout the day and  take the role assigned to us as part of God's salvation plan, and not
W1:80.1  conflict has been given you. Accept that fact, and you are ready to  take your rightful place in God's plan for salvation.
W1:R2.2 The longer practice periods will follow this general form:  take about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking about
W1:R2.3  distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever form such thoughts may  take, they have no meaning and no power. Replace them with your
W1:83.3 More specific applications of this idea might  take these forms:
W1:91.10  about your attributes to be corrected, and their opposites to  take their place. Say, for example:
W1:97.6 The Holy Spirit will be glad to  take five minutes of each hour from your hands and carry them around
W1:98.1 Today is a day of special dedication. We  take a stand on but one side today. We side with truth and let
W1:98.1  and let illusions go. We will not vacillate between the two but  take a firm position with the one. We dedicate ourselves to truth
W1:98.1  seek for it where it is not. In gladness we accept it as it is and  take the part assigned to us by God.
W1:98.2 How happy to be certain! All our doubts we lay aside today and  take our stand with certainty of purpose and with thanks that doubt
W1:98.3  in the perfect time and place. They took the stand which we will  take today that we may share their certainty and thus increase it by
W1:98.4 They will be with us—all who took the stand we  take today will gladly offer us all that they learned and every gain
W1:98.13  Tell Him once more that you accept the part which He would have you  take and help you fill, and He will make you sure you want this
W1:100.2  choose to go against His Will? The part that He has saved for you to  take in working out His plan is given you that you might be restored
W1:100.4  so your joy on earth calls to all minds to let their sorrows go and  take their place beside you in God's plan. God's messengers are
W1:100.5 We will not let ourselves be sad today. For if we do, we fail to  take the part that is essential to God's plan as well as to our
W1:100.8  is to be happy. Only this is asked of you or anyone who wants to  take his place among God's messengers. Think what this means. You
W1:103.6  brings, as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to  take the place of pain. God being Love, it will be given you. Bolster
W1:105.3  from the gifts you give and leaves you nothing in the ones you  take. A major learning goal this course has set is to reverse your
W1:108.1  will disappear because the Thought behind it will appear instead, to  take its place. And now we are at peace forever, for the dream is
W1:109.6  healing. No more fearful dreams will come now that you rest in God.  Take time today to slip away from dreams and into peace.
W1:109.7 Each hour that you  take your rest today, a tired mind is suddenly made glad, a bird with
W1:109.7  that you came to bring the peace of God into the world that it might  take its rest along with you.
W1:109.10  the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother comes to  take his rest and offer it to you.
W1:R3.12  and places, and whenever you need help of any kind. Try, then, to  take it with you in the business of the day and make it holy, worthy

W1:123.2  Be grateful He has saved you from the self you thought you made to  take the place of Him and His creation. Give Him thanks today.
W1:127.6  all the changes which you think are part of human destiny. Today we  take the largest single step this course requests in your advance
W1:129.5  see again the world you do not want. Here is the world that comes to  take its place as you unbind your mind from little things the world
W1:129.6  Let it be given you today. It waits but for your choosing it to  take the place of all the things you seek but do not want.
W1:129.11  grateful that the choice is made. Remember your decision hourly, and  take a moment to confirm your choice by laying by whatever thoughts
W1:130.10  there. For you have called upon the great unfailing Power Who will  take this giant step with you in gratitude. Nor will you fail to see
W1:130.12  the release of Heaven still remains within your range of choice to  take the place of everything that hell would show to you. All you

W1:133.7  is valueless. A temporary value is without all value. Time can never  take away a value that is real. What fades and dies was never there
W1:133.8 Next, if you choose to  take a thing away from someone else, you will have nothing left. This
W1:133.8  the things you really have, denying they are there. Who seeks to  take away has been deceived by the illusion loss can offer gain. Yet

W1:136.7  that they stand but for your own decision of what should be real, to  take the place of what is real.
W1:136.18 Healing will flash across your open mind as peace and truth arise to  take the place of war and vain imaginings. There will be no dark
W1:137.5  that have not occurred. Just as the real world will arise to  take the place of what has never been at all, healing but offers
W1:137.16  to hold but what you give, and to receive the Word of God to  take the place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined.
W1:138.6 In this insanely complicated world, Heaven appears to  take the form of choice rather than merely being what it is. Of all
W1:140.4  can be nothing but a dream is not deceived by forms the dream may  take. Sickness where guilt is absent cannot come, for it is but

W1:152.8  will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will  take the place of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the

W1:153.20  as He tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing will now begin to  take the earnestness of love to help you keep your mind from

W1:159.9  Take from His storehouse that its treasures may increase. His lilies
W1:160.3  could the reason be except that you had asked this stranger in to  take your place and let you be a stranger to yourself? No one would
W1:161.1 Today we practice differently and  take a stand against our anger, that our fears may disappear and
W1:161.9  you could scarce refrain from kneeling at his feet. Yet you will  take his hand instead, for you are like him in the sight that sees
W1:161.12  of one who can forgive you all your sins, whose sacred hands can  take the nails which pierce your own away and lift the crown of
W1:163.3  when the time has come for its arrival. It will never fail to  take all life as hostage to itself.
W1:163.8  Whatever form it takes must therefore be illusion. This the stand we  take today. And it is given us to look past death and see the life
W1:167.4  change. It is the fixed belief ideas can leave their source and  take on qualities the source does not contain, becoming different
W1:169.8  forever as it always was; forever to remain as it is now. We merely  take the part assigned long since and fully recognized as perfectly
W1:169.10  matter. For your part is still what all the rest depends on. As you  take the role assigned to you, salvation comes a little nearer each

W1:193.20  this final step Himself. Do not deny the little steps He asks you  take to Him.

W1:R6.1 For this review, we  take but one idea each day, and practice it as often as is possible.

W2:318.2 Let me today, my Father,  take the role You offer me in Your request that I accept Atonement
W2:324.1  for my salvation to me. You have set the way I am to go, the role to  take, and every step in my appointed path. I cannot lose the way. I
W2:327.1 I am not asked to  take salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith. For God has

Tx:8.11 The ego wants to  teach you that you want to oppose God's Will. This unnatural lesson
Tx:8.12  part of your mind that taught you to believe they are the same to  teach you the difference between them?
Tx:8.16  to listen to the Teacher who knows of light and can therefore  teach it to you. There is no limit on your learning, because there is
Tx:8.16  there is no limit on your minds. There is no limit on His Will to  teach, because He was created [by unlimited Will in order] to teach.
Tx:8.16  to teach, because He was created [by unlimited Will in order] to  teach. Knowing His function perfectly, He wills to fulfill it
Tx:8.17  an experience of total willingness. The Holy Spirit knows how to  teach this, but you do not. That is why you need Him and why God gave
Tx:8.18  His Fatherhood by placing no limits upon it. Let the Holy Spirit  teach you how to do this, for you will know what it means of God
Tx:8.22  someone else. And every holy encounter in which you enter fully will  teach you this is not so.
Tx:8.24  your self is the function He gave you. Fulfilling it perfectly will  teach you what you have of Him, and this will teach you what you are
Tx:8.24  it perfectly will teach you what you have of Him, and this will  teach you what you are in Him. You cannot be powerless to do this,
Tx:8.28  will I send you to others, and I will go to them with you so we can  teach them [union and peace].
Tx:8.32  want to be different, I will wait until you change your mind. I can  teach you, but only you can choose to listen to my teaching. How else

Tx:8.80  body is the proper aim for healing. Ask rather that the Holy Spirit  teach you the right perception of the body, for perception alone can
Tx:8.96  really why you persist in asking the teacher who could not possibly  teach you your will. Of him you can never learn it, and this gives
Tx:8.98  of guilt and, believing that punishment is inevitable, attempts to  teach himself to like it. The truth is, very simply, that no one
Tx:9.5  are undone. How is this different from telling you that what you  teach you learn? Your brother is as right as you are, and if you
Tx:9.8  have made. Give it to Him! You do not know how to use it. He will  teach you how to see yourself without condemnation by learning how to

Tx:9.22  If they are theologians, they are likely to condemn themselves,  teach condemnation, and advocate a very fearful solution. Projecting
Tx:9.25  he is not working correctively. He believes that it is up to him to  teach the patient what is real, but he does not know it himself.
Tx:9.33 If your brothers are part of you, will you accept them? Only they can  teach you what you are, and your learning is the result of what you
Tx:9.35  gratitude and their appreciation of what you have given them will  teach you its value. They will become the witnesses to your reality,
Tx:10.21  nothing that will obscure it enter. The Guest whom God sent you will  teach you how to do this if you but recognize the little spark and
Tx:10.56  and those who are convinced by it must be deluded. Can the ego  teach truly when it overlooks truth? Can it perceive what it has
Tx:10.65  of God surrounds His Son, whom the god of the crucifixion condemns.  Teach not that I died in vain. Teach rather that I did not die by
Tx:10.65  the god of the crucifixion condemns. Teach not that I died in vain.  Teach rather that I did not die by demonstrating that I live in you.
Tx:10.90  Yet you can learn the truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit, who will  teach you that, as part of God, deceit in you is impossible. When you

Tx:11.24  meant: If you had no investment in anything in this world, you could  teach the poor where their treasure is. The poor are merely those who
Tx:11.38  response pattern you need. The ego will therefore distort love and  teach you that love calls forth the responses which the ego can
Tx:11.38  and teach you that love calls forth the responses which the ego can  teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you will search for love but
Tx:11.40  because that is His mission. As He fulfills His mission, He will  teach you yours, for your mission is the same as His. By guiding your

Tx:11.52  understood, is limitless because it will lead you to God. You can  teach the way to Him and learn it if you follow the Teacher Who knows
Tx:11.53 The ego is trying to  teach you how to gain the whole world and lose your own Soul. The
Tx:11.54  aware that you do not know yourselves and perfectly aware of how to  teach you what you are. Because He loves you, He will gladly teach
Tx:11.54  how to teach you what you are. Because He loves you, He will gladly  teach you what He loves, for He wills to share it. Remembering you
Tx:12.57  him. And so it is that he can call unto himself the witnesses that  teach him that he never slept.
Tx:12.75  the peace of mind that we must find together. The Holy Spirit will  teach you to awaken unto us and to yourself. This is the only real
Tx:13.15  that he thinks that he has done this unto you. Would you, then,  teach him that he is right in his delusion? The idea that the
Tx:13.26  healing, but He also knows of creation. He would have you see and  teach as He does, and through Him. Yet what He knows, you do not
Tx:13.27 Now it is given you to heal and  teach, to make what will be now. As yet it is not now. The Son of God
Tx:13.42  from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit will  teach you how to use it and, by projecting it, to learn that it is in
Tx:13.43  be possible to exempt yourself from what the Holy Spirit wills to  teach you. Salvation is as sure as God. His certainty suffices. Learn
Tx:13.51  Source of their undoing is in him. There is nothing in the world to  teach him that the logic of the world is totally insane and leads to
Tx:13.52  He knows to be true, you have denied yourself, and He must therefore  teach you not to deny it. Undoing is indirect, as doing is. You were
Tx:13.54  that you are miserable and not happy. The Holy Spirit cannot  teach without this contrast, for you believe that misery is
Tx:13.57  that all this is not true. To these unhappy learners who would  teach themselves nothing and delude themselves into believing that it
Tx:13.60 When you  teach anyone that truth is true, you learn it with him. And so you

Tx:13.70  Spirit teaches and would have you teach with Him. It is His joy to  teach it, as it will be yours.
Tx:13.71 The way to  teach this simple lesson is merely this: guiltlessness is
Tx:13.71  Therefore, make your invulnerability manifest to everyone, and  teach him that whatever he may try to do to you, your perfect freedom
Tx:13.71  that can hurt you, and by refusing to allow him to think he can, you  teach him that the Atonement, which you have accepted for yourself,
Tx:13.72 God is the only Cause, and guilt is not of Him.  Teach no one he has hurt you, for if you do, you teach yourself that
Tx:13.72  is not of Him. Teach no one he has hurt you, for if you do, you  teach yourself that what is not of God has power over you. The
Tx:13.77 The One Who knows the plan of God which God would have you follow can  teach you what it is. Only His wisdom is capable of guiding you to
Tx:13.80  the Holy Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His love and  teach His answer to everyone who struggles in the dark. For you
Tx:13.85 Then let Him  teach you quietly how to perceive your guiltlessness, which is
Tx:13.91  Who speaks for God and for your function as He knows it. So will He  teach you to remove the awful burden you have laid upon yourself by
Tx:13.91  have laid upon yourself by loving not the Son of God and trying to  teach him guilt instead of love. Give up this frantic and insane
Tx:14.3  teaches you the true condition of the Son of God. It does not  teach you what you are or what your Father is. The Holy Spirit, Who
Tx:14.6  all the love you share with God He holds in trust for you. He would  teach you nothing except how to be happy.
Tx:14.11  as this. You will not see yourself beyond the power of God if you  teach only this. You will not be exempt from the effects of this most
Tx:14.13 Blessed are you who  teach with me. Our power comes not of us but of our Father. In
Tx:14.13  knows us guiltless. I stand within the circle, calling you to peace.  Teach peace with me and stand with me on holy ground. Remember for
Tx:14.13  Father's power that He has given him. Believe not that you cannot  teach His perfect peace. Stand not outside but join with me within.
Tx:14.20  decision, which you made in place of the power of creation, He would  teach you how to use on your behalf. You who made it to crucify
Tx:14.23  attack your sentinels. But bring them to Him, and let His gentleness  teach you that in the light they are not fearful and cannot serve to
Tx:14.56  upon a brother is senseless. Let the Holy Spirit show him to you and  teach you both his love and need for love. Neither his mind nor yours
Tx:14.57  give it because of what you are. Long ago we said this course will  teach you what you are, restoring to you your identity. We have
Tx:14.60  Nothing you have ever learned can help you understand the present or  teach you how to undo the past. Your past is what you have taught
Tx:14.66 By this refusal to attempt to  teach yourself what you do not know, the Guide Whom God has given you
Tx:14.69  lessons He has not already lightened for you. The lessons you would  teach yourselves He has corrected already. They do not exist in His
Tx:14.70 He Who has freed you from the past would  teach you are free of it. He would but have you accept His
Tx:14.71  the miracle of oneness, and before His lesson division disappears.  Teach like Him here, and you will remember that you have always
Tx:15.12  He asks no more, for He has no need of more. It takes far longer to  teach you how to be willing to give Him this than for Him to use this
Tx:15.17  time into eternity. Blessed is God's Teacher, Whose joy it is to  teach God's holy Son his holiness. His joy is not contained in time.
Tx:15.31  is because I learned for you that you can learn of me. I would but  teach you what is yours, so that together we can replace the shabby
Tx:15.75  in His voice your own need to communicate. The Holy Spirit cannot  teach through fear. And how can He communicate with you while you
Tx:15.76  safety in guilt and danger in communication. For the ego will always  teach that loneliness is solved by guilt and that communication is
Tx:15.79  He perceives as clearly as He knows forgiveness is release, He will  teach you to remember that forgiveness is not loss but your
Tx:15.83  The Holy Spirit asks you to respond as God does, for He would  teach you what you do not understand. God would respond to every
Tx:15.84  it is the Will of God. And let Him Whose teaching is only of God  teach you the only meaning of relationships. For God created the only
Tx:15.91  your thoughts will be as free as God's. As you let the Holy Spirit  teach you how to use the body only for purposes of communication and
Tx:15.92  into the world. Yet you know not how to do it. Let the Holy Spirit  teach you, and let me celebrate your birth through Him. The only gift
Tx:15.108 The lesson I was born to  teach and still would teach to all my brothers is that sacrifice is
Tx:15.108 The lesson I was born to teach and still would  teach to all my brothers is that sacrifice is nowhere and love is
Tx:16.1  very different.] He does not understand suffering and would have you  teach it is not understandable. When He relates through you, He does
Tx:16.6  The unredeemed cannot redeem, yet they have a Redeemer. Attempt to  teach Him not. You are the learner; He the Teacher. Do not confuse
Tx:16.7  Spirit recognizes foolish needs as well as real ones. And He will  teach you how to meet both without losing either.
Tx:16.17  and attack is power. Should not this be a sufficient miracle to  teach you that your Teacher is not of you? But remember also that
Tx:16.23  you that you do not regard yourself as one? For it is impossible to  teach successfully wholly without conviction, and it is equally
Tx:16.24  yourself. You have taught what you are but have not let what you are  teach you. You have been very careful to avoid the obvious and not to
Tx:16.27  with teaching. You have chosen this by your own willingness to  teach. Though you seemed to suffer for it, the joy of teaching will
Tx:16.73  it in the special relationship, which binds you to it and would  teach you that salvation is past and that you must return to the past
Tx:16.75  lays the holy instant. We said before that the Holy Spirit must  teach through comparisons and uses opposites to point to truth. The
Tx:17.5  belief in them. But to give illusions to truth is to enable truth to  teach that the illusions are unreal and thus enable you to escape
Tx:17.15  these shadow figures which would make the ego holy in your sight and  teach you what you do to keep it safe is really love.
Tx:18.28 Each instant that we spend together will  teach you that this goal is possible and will strengthen your desire
Tx:18.35  they are. Your willingness is needed only to make it possible to  teach you what they are. If you maintain you are unworthy of learning
Tx:18.66  achieved their instants of success. This course does not attempt to  teach more than they learned in time, but it does aim at saving time.
Tx:18.92  bruise yourself against them in traveling through. Let your Guide  teach you their unsubstantial nature as He leads you past them, for
Tx:19.30  is One Who knows it is unbroken and forever changeless. This One can  teach you how to look on time differently and see beyond it, but not
Tx:19.57  you my body, you whom I love, knowing its littleness? Or would I  teach that bodies cannot keep us apart? Mine was no greater value
Tx:19.83  acceptance the power to release from corruption. What better way to  teach the first and fundamental principle in a course on miracles
Tx:19.89  me not see it as a sign of sin and death nor use it for destruction.  Teach me how not to make of it an obstacle to peace but let You use
Tx:21.34  for sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees perception as a means to  teach you that the vision of a holy relationship is all you want to
Tx:21.41 The Holy Spirit will never  teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will correct, but this makes
Tx:21.64  and from his Father forever and without a hope of safe return. You  teach him this, and you will learn of him exactly what you taught.
Tx:21.64  this, and you will learn of him exactly what you taught. For you can  teach him only that he is as you would have him, and what you choose
Tx:21.85  To bodies, yes! The thoughts that seem to kill are those which  teach the thinker that he can be killed. And so he dies because of
Tx:22.4 Think what a holy relationship can  teach! Here is belief in differences undone. Here is the faith in
Tx:22.12 Think what is given you, my holy brothers. This child will  teach you what you do not understand and make it plain. For his will
Tx:22.63  necessary that you have other experiences more in line with truth to  teach you what is natural and true.
Tx:22.65  you regret you cannot fear alone when your relationship can also  teach the power of love is there, which makes all fear impossible? Do

Tx:23.43  a little, love a little, and know the difference. Thus it would  teach a little of the same can still be different, and yet the same
Tx:24.69 This course makes no attempt to  teach what cannot easily be learned. Its scope does not exceed your
Tx:24.69  to which it must depend on what you see it for. Perception seems to  teach you what you see. Yet it but witnesses to what you taught. It
Tx:25.9  it is one and so experienced. It is the Holy Spirit's function to  teach you how this oneness is experienced, what you must do that it
Tx:26.22  has set. It will not go beyond this aim. Its only purpose is to  teach what is the same and what is different, leaving room to make
Tx:26.39  along a road long since a memory of time gone by? [This course will  teach you only what is now.] A dreadful instant in a distant past,
Tx:27.16  And everything you say or do or think but testifies to what you  teach to him.
Tx:27.17 Your body can be means to  teach that it has never suffered pain because of him. And in its

Tx:27.79  one purpose, taught in many ways. This single lesson does it try to  teach again, and still again, and yet once more that it is cause and
Tx:27.87  and of pain. The form affects His answer not at all, for He would  teach you but the single cause of all of them, no matter what their
Tx:27.89  like the rest. He sees no differences where none exist, and He will  teach you how each one is caused. None has a different cause from all
Tx:28.26  to be victim or effect of what it made. Yet half the lesson will not  teach the whole. The miracle is useless if you learn but that the
Tx:28.26  the body can be healed, for this is not the lesson it was sent to  teach. The lesson is the mind was sick that thought the body could be
Tx:29.16  Yet here on earth it has a double purpose, for it can be made to  teach opposing things. And they reflect the teacher who is teaching
Tx:31.3  you cannot learn them. For your power to learn is strong enough to  teach you that your will is not your own, your thoughts do not belong
Tx:31.5  sought to demonstrate, and you have learned what it was made to  teach. Now does your ancient overlearning stand implacable before the
Tx:31.5  ancient overlearning stand implacable before the Voice of truth and  teach you that Its lessons are not true, too hard to learn, too
Tx:31.40  choose the better to deceive yourself again. This course attempts to  teach no more than that the power of decision cannot lie in choosing
Tx:31.40  utterly opposed to truth is this, when the lesson's purpose is to  teach that what your brother loses you have lost and what he gains is
Tx:31.44  your reality as Son of God. The concept of the self the world would  teach is not the thing that it appears to be. For it is made to serve
Tx:31.47  innocence there is a lesson that the concept of the self was made to  teach. It is a lesson in a terrible displacement and a fear so
Tx:31.50  to be given you. Nor can it be unlearned except by lessons aimed to  teach that you are something else. For otherwise you would be asked
Tx:31.59 The world can  teach no images of you unless you want to learn them. There will come
Tx:31.82  whom He asks release? And what but this is what this course would  teach? And what but this is there for you to learn?
Tx:31.83 Temptation has one lesson it would  teach in all its forms wherever it occurs. It would persuade the holy
W1:12.2  a measured, even tempo throughout. What you see does not matter. You  teach yourself this as you give whatever your glance rests on equal
W1:37.3 Your holiness is the salvation of the world. It lets you  teach the world that it is one with you, not by preaching to it, not
W1:39.3  give what you do not have. A savior must be saved. How else can he  teach salvation? Today's exercises will apply to you alone,
W1:54.6  to replace loss. I would look upon the real world, and let it  teach me that my will and the Will of God are one.
W1:56.2  God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real thoughts will  teach me what it is.
W1:90.5  so that they cannot be separated by time. The Holy Spirit will  teach me this if I will let Him. And I will understand it is
W1:95.17  of darkness from the world and let the light in you come through to  teach the world the truth about itself. You are One Self, in perfect
W1:99.14 Then turn to Him who shares your function here, and let Him  teach you what you need to learn to lay all fear aside and know your
W1:101.5 You need the practice periods today. The exercises  teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin
W1:103.3 This basic error we will try again to bring to truth today and  teach ourselves:
W1:106.12  of God is kept through your receiving it to give away, so you can  teach the world what giving means by listening and learning it of
W1:108.13 Our very simple lesson for today will  teach you much. Effect and cause will be far better understood from
W1:121.7 Each unforgiving mind presents you with an opportunity to  teach your own how to forgive itself. Each one awaits release from
W1:121.7  your forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. And as you  teach salvation, you will learn.
W1:127.4 No course whose purpose is to  teach you what you really are could fail to emphasize there is no
W1:127.8  loving gentleness, He will abide with you as you allow His Voice to  teach love's meaning to your clean and open mind. And He will bless
W1:132.7 There is no world! This is the central thought the course attempts to  teach. Not everyone is ready to accept it, and each one must go as
W1:132.8  and recognize. Some see it suddenly on point of death and rise to  teach it. Others find it in experience that is not of this world,
W1:134.13  for the world cannot perceive its meaning nor provide a guide to  teach you its beneficence. There is no thought in all the world which
W1:134.15  Who understands the meaning of forgiveness and was sent to us to  teach it. Let us ask of Him:
W1:137.9  by which the Holy Spirit urges you to follow Him. His gentle lessons  teach how easily salvation can be yours, how little practice you need
W1:138.5  accepted, it is known. But knowledge is beyond the goals we seek to  teach within the framework of this course. Ours are teaching goals to
W1:139.9  know that they are part of you and you of them. This does Atonement  teach and demonstrates the oneness of God's Son is unassailed by his
W1:151.10  to you who are beloved of God, for He will judge all happenings and  teach the single lesson which they all contain.
W1:151.15  begins as all your thoughts are purified. So are you taught to  teach the Son of God the holy lesson of his sanctity. No one can fail
W1:153.11  come to realize His Will is but their own. And while you fail to  teach what you have learned, salvation waits and darkness holds the
W1:153.12  and Who would replace their fearful toys with joyous games which  teach them that the game of fear is gone. His game instructs in
W1:157.9  transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you will never  teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the vision

W1:166.13  you have learned of Christ there is another way for them to walk.  Teach them by showing them the happiness that comes to those who feel
W1:R5.7  that this course was sent to open up the path of light to us, and  teach us, step by step, how to return to the eternal Self we thought
W1:R5.10  Together we devote our time and effort to them. And together we will  teach them to our brothers. God would not have Heaven incomplete. It
W1:184.5  direction for the mind to channel its perception. It is hard to  teach the mind a thousand alien names and thousands more. Yet you
W1:184.7  question its effects. Learning which stops with what the world would  teach stops short of meaning. In its proper place, it serves but as a
W1:193.4  joy fulfills His function now. He redirects each lesson you would  teach in hate to one in which forgiveness enters, and returns the

W1:R6.11  I offer this review for you. I place you in His charge and let Him  teach you what to do and say and think each time you turn to Him. He

W2:296.2 We  teach today what we would learn and that alone. And so our learning

Tx:6.56  He did not question. He merely gave the Answer. His Answer is your  Teacher.
Tx:6.57 Like any good  teacher, the Holy Spirit does know more than you do now, but He

Tx:6.94  health and thereby teaches healing. This establishes you as a  teacher who teaches like me. Vigilance was required of me as much as
Tx:7.40  learned. If you teach both sickness and healing, you are both a poor  teacher and a poor learner.
Tx:7.77 One Child of God is the only  teacher sufficiently worthy to teach another. One Teacher is in all

Tx:8.9 Is there any possible reason for choosing a  teacher such as this? Does the total disregard of anything it teaches
Tx:8.9  of anything it teaches make anything but sense? Is this the  teacher to whom a Son of God should turn to find himself? The ego has
Tx:8.9  ego's teaching, should not this alone disqualify it as your future  teacher? Yet the ego has done more harm to your learning than this

Tx:10.17  a lesson in understanding, and the more you practice it, the better  teacher and learner you become. If you have denied truth, what better

Tx:26.32 God gave His  Teacher to replace the one you made, not to conflict with it. And

M:I.1  It seems as if the teacher and the learner are separated, the  teacher giving something to the learner rather than to himself.

M:1.1 A  teacher of God is anyone who chooses to be one. His qualifications
M:1.1  in Him. He has become a bringer of salvation. He has become a  teacher of God.
M:1.3 There is a course for every  teacher of God. The form of the course varies greatly. So do the
M:1.3  language, in any place or time or manner. It does not matter who the  teacher was before he heard the Call. He has become a savior by his
M:2.4  and still again, it seems to be now. And thus it is that pupil and  teacher seem to come together in the present, finding each other as
M:2.4  choice in that ancient instant which he now relives. So has the  teacher, too, made an inevitable choice out of an ancient past. God's
M:2.5 When pupil and  teacher come together, a teaching-learning situation begins. For the
M:2.5  teacher come together, a teaching-learning situation begins. For the  teacher is not really the one who does the teaching. God's Teacher
M:2.5  For the teacher is not really the one who does the teaching. God's  Teacher speaks to any two who join together for learning purposes.
M:2.5  one interest and one goal. And thus he who was the learner becomes a  teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision that gave
M:2.5  of God himself, for he has made the one decision that gave his  teacher to him. He has seen in another person the same interests as
M:3.1  can look upon the Son of God as sinless. There is no one from whom a  teacher of God cannot learn, so there is no one whom he cannot teach.
M:3.1  the plan includes very specific contacts to be made for each  teacher of God. There are no accidents in salvation. Those who are to

M:4.5  external circumstances. These changes are always helpful. When the  teacher of God has learned that much, he goes on to the second stage.
M:4.6 Next, the  teacher of God must go through a “period of sorting-out.” This is
M:4.7  Therefore, the period of overlap is apt to be one in which the  teacher of God feels called upon to sacrifice his own best interests
M:4.8  comes a “period of settling down.” This is a quiet time in which the  teacher of God rests a while in reasonable peace. Now he consolidates
M:4.8  what he has learned. Its potential is literally staggering, and the  teacher of God is now at the point in his progress at which he sees
M:4.8  what you do.” How simple is the obvious! And how easy to do! The  teacher of God needs this period of respite. He has not yet come as
M:4.9 The next stage is indeed a “period of unsettling.” Now must the  teacher of God understand that he did not really know what was
M:4.12  and self-deception is dishonesty. There is no challenge to a  teacher of God. Challenge implies doubt, and the trust on which God's
M:4.13  implies a lack of trust, and trust remains the bed-rock of the  teacher of God's whole thought system. Let this be lost, and all his
M:4.13  who stands apart? Judgment destroys honesty and shatters trust. No  teacher of God can judge and hope to learn.

M:4.17  does what God created need defense? No one can become an advanced  teacher of God until he fully understands that defenses are but the
M:4.17  the fiercer and more powerful its defenses seem to be. Yet when the  teacher of God finally agrees to look past them, he finds nothing was
M:4.18 The term generosity has special meaning to the  teacher of God. It is not the usual meaning of the word; in fact, it
M:4.19 The  teacher of God is generous out of self-interest. This does not refer,
M:4.19  This does not refer, however, to the self the world speaks of. The  teacher of God does not want anything he cannot give away because he
M:4.20  afford to wait, and wait without anxiety. Patience is natural to the  teacher of God. All he sees is certain outcome, at a time perhaps
M:4.20  to happen. Perhaps it was not understood at the time. Even so, the  teacher of God is willing to reconsider all his past decisions if
M:4.21 The extent of the  teacher of God's faithfulness is the measure of his advancement in
M:4.21  and his trust not yet firmly established. Faithfulness is the  teacher of God's trust in the word of God to set all things right—

M:5.9  another choice which they had forgotten. The simple presence of a  teacher of God is a reminder. His thoughts ask for the right to
M:6.1  keep the illusions. Truth demonstrates illusions have no value. The  teacher of God has seen the correction of his errors in the mind of
M:6.2  of God's gifts. Not one is lost, for they can but increase. No  teacher of God should feel disappointed if he has offered healing and
M:6.4  Yet is its fullness guaranteed by God. What concern, then, can a  teacher of God have about what becomes of his gifts? Given by God to
M:7.1  as we have already said it is, what is there to repeat? For a  teacher of God to remain concerned about the result of healing is to
M:7.1  about the result of healing is to limit the healing. It is now the  teacher of God himself whose mind needs to be healed. And it is this
M:7.2 Whenever a  teacher of God has tried to be a channel for healing, he has
M:7.2  because the Holy Spirit so accepted it and so used it. Now the  teacher of God has only one course to follow. He must use his reason
M:7.3 It is in this that the  teacher of God must trust. This is what is really meant by the
M:7.3  of the miracle worker is to accept the Atonement for himself. The  teacher of God is a miracle worker because he gives the gifts he has
M:7.3  That was a mistake, but hardly one to stay with. And so the  teacher of God can only recognize it for what it is and let it be
M:7.5  doubt about the outcome of any problem that has been given to God's  Teacher for resolution is always self-doubt. And that necessarily

M:9.1  in his attitudes would not be the first step in the newly-made  teacher of God's training. There is however no set pattern, since
M:9.2 As the  teacher of God advances in his training, he learns one lesson with
M:9.2  thoroughness. He does not make his own decisions; he asks his  Teacher for His answer, and it is this he follows as his guide for
M:9.2  as his guide for action. This becomes easier and easier as the  teacher of God learns to give up his own judgment. The giving up of

M:10.1  may disagree with what his would-be teacher says about them, and the  teacher himself is inconsistent in what he believes.
M:10.2  does not mean anything. No more does “bad.” It is necessary for the  teacher of God to realize not that he should not judge, but that he
M:10.5  down beneath it. And it was all illusion. Nothing more. Now can the  teacher of God rise up unburdened and walk lightly on. Yet it is not
M:10.6  judgment. But it is difficult indeed to try to keep it. The  teacher of God lays it down happily the instant he recognizes its
M:10.6  were but the effects of his mistaken choice, have fallen from him.  Teacher of God, this step will bring you peace. Can it be difficult
M:12.1 The answer to this question is “one.” One wholly perfect  teacher whose learning is complete suffices. This One, sanctified and
M:12.4  From this understanding will come the recognition in this new  teacher of God of what the body's purpose really is; the only use
M:12.5  decisions which are responsible for the body's condition. Yet the  teacher of God does not make this decision alone. To do that would be

M:13.8  Teacher of God, do not forget the meaning of sacrifice, and remember
M:14.3  all of them. The illusion of orders of difficulty is an obstacle the  teacher of God must learn to pass by and leave behind. One sin
M:14.3  learn to pass by and leave behind. One sin perfectly forgiven by one  teacher of God can make salvation complete. Can you understand this?
M:14.4  and go beyond its tiny reach. What, then, is the function of the  teacher of God in this concluding lesson? He need merely learn how to
M:14.4  he can learn it. He does not judge it either as hard or easy. His  Teacher points to it, and he trusts that He will show him how to
M:15.3 Is this your judgment on yourself,  teacher of God? Do you believe that this is wholly true? No, not yet,
M:15.3  thus delay this Final Judgment. What is your judgment on the world,  teacher of God? Have you yet learned to stand aside and hear the
M:16.1 To the advanced  teacher of God, this question is meaningless. There is no program,
M:16.1  set, and one which can be met that very day. For the advanced  teacher of God, then, this question is superfluous. It has been asked

M:16.4 This course is always practical. It may be that the  teacher of God is not in a situation which fosters quiet thought as
M:16.7 How simply and how easily does the day slip by for the  teacher of God who has accepted His protection! All that he did

M:17.1 This is a crucial question both for  teacher and pupil. If this issue is mishandled, the teacher has hurt
M:17.1  both for teacher and pupil. If this issue is mishandled, the  teacher has hurt himself and has also attacked his pupil. This
M:17.1  of them. How to deal with magic thus becomes a major lesson for the  teacher of God to master. His first responsibility in this is not to
M:17.1  to attack it. If a magic thought arouses anger in any form, God's  teacher can be sure that he is strengthening his own belief in sin
M:17.2  it be forgotten that the outcome that results will always come to  teacher and to pupil. How many times has it been emphasized that you
M:17.2  And where could this be better shown than in the kinds of help the  teacher gives to those who need his aid? Here is his gift most
M:17.3  results. A lesson truly taught can lead to nothing but release for  teacher and pupil who have shared in one intent. Attack can enter
M:17.3  the case if the result is anything but joy. The single aim of the  teacher turns the divided goal of the pupil into one direction, with
M:17.9  nothing. Can nothing give rise to anger? Hardly so. Remember then,  teacher of God, that anger recognizes a reality that is not there,
M:18.1  nature—and only this is true correction—cannot be made until the  teacher of God has ceased to confuse interpretation with fact or

M:18.5  is his pupil healed with him. The sole responsibility of God's  teacher is to accept the Atonement for himself. Atonement means
M:18.5  or the undoing of errors. When this has been accomplished, the  teacher of God becomes a miracle worker by definition. His sins have
M:21.4 Is the  teacher of God then to avoid the use of words in his teaching? No,

M:21.5 A major hindrance in this aspect of his learning is the  teacher of God's fear about the validity of what he hears. And what

M:22.2 The progress of the  teacher of God may be slow or rapid, depending on whether he

M:22.3 That forgiveness is healing needs to be understood if the  teacher of God is to make progress. The idea that a body can be sick
M:22.4  himself and of all others as well. Nor is it at this level that the  teacher of God calls forth the miracle of healing. He overlooks the
M:22.4  all perception. Healing is the result of the recognition by God's  teacher of Who it is that is in need of healing. This recognition has
M:22.5 When a  teacher of God fails to heal, it is because he has forgotten Who he
M:22.5  mistakes, and distorted perception does not heal. Step back now,  teacher of God. You have been wrong. Lead not the way, for you have
M:22.5  wrong. Lead not the way, for you have lost it. Turn quickly to your  Teacher, and let yourself be healed.

M:23.6  we have laid on us. No one who has become a true and dedicated  teacher of God forgets his brothers. Yet what he can offer them is
M:24.3  would not be helpful to take any definite stand on reincarnation. A  teacher of God should be as helpful to those who believe in it as to
M:24.4  Until then they are likely to be merely controversial. The  teacher of God is therefore wise to step away from all such
M:24.5 Does this mean that the  teacher of God should not believe in reincarnation himself or discuss
M:24.5  be a mistake for him to renounce the belief unless his Internal  Teacher so advised. And this is most unlikely. He might be advised
M:26.3 Sometimes a  teacher of God may have a brief experience of direct union with God.
M:27.7  Teacher of God, your one assignment could be stated thus: accept no
M:29.1 This manual is not intended to answer all questions that both  teacher and pupil may raise. In fact, it covers only a few of the
M:29.1  a manual for teachers, it must be remembered that only time divides  teacher and pupil, so that the difference is temporary by definition.
M:29.2  No one should attempt to answer these questions alone. Surely no  teacher of God has come this far without realizing that. The
M:29.2  decisions about which you understand so little? Be glad you have a  Teacher Who cannot make a mistake. His answers are always right.

Tx:4.13 This is the opposite of the ego-oriented  teacher's goal. He is concerned with the effect of his ego on other

M:4.1 The surface traits of God's  teachers are not at all alike. They do not look alike to the body's
M:4.1  quite distinct. Nor at the beginning stages of their functioning as  teachers of God have they as yet acquired the deeper characteristics
M:4.1  will establish them as what they are. God gives special gifts to His  teachers because they have a special role in His plan for Atonement.
M:4.1  teaching-learning situation is geared, become characteristic of all  teachers of God who have advanced in their own learning. In this

M:4.3  Power that keeps all things safe. It is through this Power that the  teachers of God look on a forgiven world.
M:4.7 The third stage through which the  teachers of God must go can be called a “period of relinquishment.”
M:4.7  as giving up the desirable, it will engender enormous conflict. Few  teachers of God escape this distress entirely. There is, however, no
M:4.11 All other traits of God's  teachers rest on trust. Once that has been achieved, the others

M:4.14 Harm is impossible for God's  teachers. They can neither harm nor be harmed. Harm is the outcome of
M:4.15 Therefore God's  teachers are wholly gentle. They need the strength of gentleness, for
M:4.15  and limitless strength of gentleness? The might of God's  teachers lies in their gentleness, for they have understood their
M:4.16  Joy goes with gentleness as surely as grief attends attack. God's  teachers trust in Him. And they are sure His Teacher goes before
M:4.17 God's  teachers have learned how to be simple. They have no dreams that need
M:4.18  and learned very carefully. Like all the other attributes of God's  teachers, this one rests ultimately on trust, for without trust, no
M:4.18  generosity means “giving away” in the sense of “giving up.” To the  teachers of God, it means “giving away” in order to keep. This has
M:4.18  at the simplest of levels, the word means the exact opposite to the  teachers of God and to the world.
M:4.22  Faithfulness, then, combines in itself the other attributes of God's  teachers. It implies acceptance of the word of God and His definition
M:4.25 You may have noticed that the list of attributes of God's  teachers does not include those things which are the Son of God's

M:6.3 It is not the function of God's  teachers to evaluate the outcome of their gifts. It is merely their
M:7.4  to doubt its result. This is the certainty that gives God's  teachers the power to be miracle workers, for they have put their

M:12.3  truth can come only where it is welcomed without fear. So do God's  teachers need a body, for their unity could not be recognized
M:12.4 Yet what makes them God's  teachers is their recognition of the proper purpose of the body. As
M:12.4  thought of unity come in, and what is one is recognized as one. The  teachers of God appear to share the illusion of separation, but
M:12.6 Oneness and sickness cannot co-exist. God's  teachers choose to look on dreams a while. It is a conscious choice.
M:12.6  what they are? Awareness of dreaming is the real function of God's  teachers. They watch the dream figures come and go, shift and change,
M:12.6  Unity alone is not a thing of dreams. And it is this God's  teachers acknowledge as behind the dream, beyond all seeing and yet
M:13.4 God's  teachers can have no regret on giving up the pleasures of the world.
M:13.8  and it is yours. God holds out His Word to you, for He has need of  teachers. What other way is there to save His Son?
M:14.2  He brings the ending of the world with Him. It is His Call God's  teachers answer, turning to Him in silence to receive His Word. The
M:14.3  goal indeed. But time stands still and waits on the goals of God's  teachers. Not one thought of sin will remain the instant any one of
M:14.5  end as it began. To turn hell into Heaven is the function of God's  teachers, for what they teach are lessons in which Heaven is
M:16.11  world would gladly make it if it knew it could be made. It is God's  teachers who must teach it that it can. And so it is their function
M:16.11  is only this that leads to pain. “There is no will but God's.” His  teachers know that this is so and have learned that everything but

M:17.8 Into this hopeless situation God sends His  teachers. They bring the light of hope from God Himself. There is a

M:26.1  In how many is this the case? Here then is the role of God's  teachers. They too have not attained the necessary understanding as

Tx:6.59 A wise teacher  teaches through approach, not avoidance. He does not emphasize what

Tx:6.82  mind, and your mind only, He sorts out the true from the false and  teaches you to judge every thought that you allow to enter your mind
Tx:6.87  that you can be as vigilant against the ego as for it. This lesson  teaches not only that you can be, but that you must be. It does not
Tx:6.87  cut priority for vigilance. This step is unequivocal in that it  teaches there must be no exceptions, although it does not deny that
Tx:6.94  to heal it. Once your mind is healed, it radiates health and thereby  teaches healing. This establishes you as a teacher who teaches like
Tx:6.94  and thereby teaches healing. This establishes you as a teacher who  teaches like me. Vigilance was required of me as much as of you, but
Tx:7.17  the Holy Spirit is a lesson in remembering. We said before that He  teaches remembering and forgetting, but the forgetting aspect is only
Tx:7.22  purpose. Therefore, it does not really learn at all. The Holy Spirit  teaches you to use what the ego has made to teach the opposite of
Tx:7.24  no connection, because the ego is discontinuous. Yet the Holy Spirit  teaches one lesson and applies it to all individuals in all
Tx:7.24  all results. By teaching the power of the Kingdom of God Himself, He  teaches you that all power is yours. Its application does not matter.
Tx:7.26  experiencing yourself as unreal. This is why the ego is insane; it  teaches that you are not what you are. This is so contradictory that
Tx:7.77  worthy to teach another. One Teacher is in all your minds, and He  teaches the same lesson to all. He always teaches you the inestimable
Tx:7.77  in all your minds, and He teaches the same lesson to all. He always  teaches you the inestimable worth of every Son of God, teaching it
Tx:8.6  other, even if the other does not exist. Their conflicted curriculum  teaches them all directions exist and gives them no rationale for
Tx:8.9  a teacher such as this? Does the total disregard of anything it  teaches make anything but sense? Is this the teacher to whom a Son of
Tx:8.10  God who coerces you because He shares His Will with you. His Voice  teaches only His Will, but that is not the Holy Spirit's lesson
Tx:8.12 We said before that the Holy Spirit  teaches you the difference between pain and joy. That is the same as
Tx:8.12  difference between pain and joy. That is the same as saying that He  teaches you the difference between imprisonment and freedom. You

Tx:8.23  glory are everywhere, and you cannot be excluded from them. The ego  teaches that your strength is in you alone. The Holy Spirit teaches
Tx:8.23  The ego teaches that your strength is in you alone. The Holy Spirit  teaches that all strength is in God and therefore in you. God wills
Tx:8.69  the ego, the body is to attack with. Equating you with the body, it  teaches that you are to attack with, because this is what it
Tx:8.79 The Holy Spirit  teaches you to use your body only to reach your brothers, so He can

Tx:9.35  awake, but you can learn how to awaken. Very simply the Holy Spirit  teaches you to awaken others. As you see them waken, you will learn
Tx:9.77  God which he has forgotten. Your recognition of him as part of God  teaches him the truth about himself, which he is denying. Would you
Tx:10.17  which you accept, either from your brother or in your own mind,  teaches you that you are God's Son. In every hurtful thought you

Tx:10.74  course. Perhaps you do not feel that a course which, in the end,  teaches nothing more than that only reality is true is necessary. But
Tx:11.37  ego undertakes is therefore bound to be defeated. And since it also  teaches that it is your identification, its guidance leads you to a
Tx:11.53  how to gain the whole world and lose your own Soul. The Holy Spirit  teaches that you cannot lose your Soul and there is no gain in the
Tx:11.88  condemned. The Atonement is the final lesson he need learn, for it  teaches him that, never having sinned, he has no need of salvation.
Tx:11.97 Accepting the Atonement  teaches you what immortality is, for by accepting your guiltlessness,
Tx:11.99 The ego  teaches you to attack yourself because you are guilty, and this must

Tx:12.29  meet yourself and the encounter is holy because you are. The ego  teaches that you always encounter your past, and because your dreams

Tx:13.45  Spirit cannot fail to undo for you everything you have learned that  teaches you what is not true must be reconciled with truth. This is
Tx:13.47  away from them and follow the simple logic by which the Holy Spirit  teaches you the simple conclusions that speak for truth and only
Tx:13.57  golden crowns because of them. All this the Holy Spirit sees and  teaches simply that all this is not true. To these unhappy learners
Tx:13.59  learners of the lesson which this light brings to them because it  teaches them release from nothing and from all the works of nothing.
Tx:13.69 The miracle  teaches you that you have chosen guiltlessness, freedom, and joy. It
Tx:13.70  has no power over the Son of God is the happy lesson the Holy Spirit  teaches and would have you teach with Him. It is His joy to teach it,
Tx:13.79  no one in this world or Heaven could possibly commit. God's Spirit  teaches only that the “sin” of self-replacement on the throne of God
Tx:14.3  mind which has denied it and thus denied Heaven to itself. Atonement  teaches you the true condition of the Son of God. It does not teach
Tx:14.3  your Father is. The Holy Spirit, Who remembers this for you, merely  teaches you how to remove the blocks that stand between you and what
Tx:14.6  each to share is always the same—God's Son is guiltless. Each one  teaches the message differently and learns it differently. Yet until
Tx:14.6  the message differently and learns it differently. Yet until he  teaches it and learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim awareness
Tx:14.31  cannot see alone. Sharing perception with Him Whom God has given you  teaches you how to recognize what you see. It is the recognition that
Tx:14.50  basis at all for ordering your thoughts. This lesson the Holy Spirit  teaches by giving you shining examples to show you that your way of
Tx:14.60 Atonement  teaches you how to escape forever from everything that you have
Tx:14.62  not closed to take. Every dark lesson that you bring to Him Who  teaches light He will accept from you because you do not want it. And
Tx:14.63  will for God's Son what His Father wills for him. Every dark lesson  teaches this in one form or another. And each bright lesson, with
Tx:14.63  Holy Spirit will replace the dark ones you do not accept and hide,  teaches you that you will with the Father unto His Son.
Tx:14.71  Listen in silence, and do not raise your voice against Him. For He  teaches the miracle of oneness, and before His lesson division
Tx:15.4 The ego  teaches that hell is in the future, for this is what all its teaching
Tx:15.5  aims together so that they seem to be reconciled. The ego  teaches thus: Death is the end as far as hope of Heaven goes. Yet
Tx:15.6 The ego  teaches that Heaven is here and now because the future is hell. Even
Tx:15.8 The Holy Spirit  teaches thus: There is no hell. Hell is only what the ego has made of
Tx:15.47  more than others? The past has taught you this. Yet the holy instant  teaches you it is not so.
Tx:16.27  shares it with him. As you learn, your gratitude to your Self, Who  teaches you what He is, will grow and help you honor Him. And you
Tx:16.77  always be exactly as he was created. And everything the Holy Spirit  teaches you is to remind you that you have received what God has
Tx:19.72  relationship which it keeps hidden and yet feeds upon. To you it  teaches that the body's pleasure is happiness. Yet to itself it
Tx:20.41  use to you as it is to him. When it is used only as the Holy Spirit  teaches, it has no function, for minds need not the body to
Tx:21.46 There is no inconsistency in what the Holy Spirit  teaches. This is the reasoning of the sane. You have perceived the
Tx:22.65  this gift. For it was given you to be used and not obscured. What  teaches you you cannot separate, denies the ego. Let truth decide if

Tx:6.43  Yet your learning is not immortal, and you can unlearn it by not  teaching it. Since you cannot not teach, your salvation lies in

Tx:7.26  really teach. Yet you are always teaching. You must therefore be  teaching something else as well, even though the ego does not know
Tx:7.40  Yet we have learned that behavior is not the level for either  teaching or learning. This must be so, since you can act in

Tx:7.47  them and is not receiving something equally desirable in return. His  teaching is limited, because he is learning so little. His healing
Tx:7.68  of will is possible. This is the Holy Spirit's perfectly consistent  teaching.
Tx:7.77  He always teaches you the inestimable worth of every Son of God,  teaching it with infinite patience born of the [love of Him for whom]
Tx:8.7  joint curriculum presents an impossible learning task. They are  teaching you entirely different things in entirely different ways,
Tx:8.7  which might be possible except for the crucial fact that both are  teaching you about yourself. Your reality is unaffected by both, but
Tx:8.9  Simply on the grounds of your own experience with the ego's  teaching, should not this alone disqualify it as your future teacher?
Tx:8.11  The Holy Spirit leads you steadily along the path of freedom,  teaching you how to disregard or look beyond everything that would
Tx:8.13 The Holy Spirit's  teaching takes only one direction and has only one goal. His

Tx:8.93  then, His perception of your mind brings its reality to you, He is  teaching you what you are.
Tx:9.14  He teaches that the ego does not exist and proves it. Follow His  teaching in forgiveness then, because forgiveness is His function,
Tx:9.24  real has happened to the unhealed healer, and he learns from his own  teaching.
Tx:9.71 When you attack, you are denying yourself. You are specifically  teaching yourself that you are not what you are. Your denial of
Tx:10.50  the impossible and the false from the true. According to the ego's  teaching, its goal can be accomplished, and God's purpose can not.
Tx:10.50  and God's purpose can not. According to the Holy Spirit's  teaching, only God's purpose is accomplishment, and it is already

Tx:11.38  love calls forth the responses which the ego can teach. Follow its  teaching, then, and you will search for love but will not recognize
Tx:11.46  content. Yet creation is not of you, and poor learners need special  teaching. You have learning handicaps in a very literal sense.
Tx:11.49  The result of this curriculum goal is obvious. Every legitimate  teaching aid, every real instruction, and every sensible guide to
Tx:11.49  If you are trying to learn how not to learn and are using the aim of  teaching to defeat itself, what can you expect but confusion? The
Tx:11.75  why the undoing of guilt is an essential part of the Holy Spirit's  teaching. For as long as you feel guilty, you are listening to the
Tx:11.89  teachers, whose ultimate aim is to make themselves unnecessary by  teaching their pupils all they know. The Holy Spirit wills only this,
Tx:11.99  increase the guilt, for guilt is the result of attack. In the ego's  teaching, then, there is no escape from guilt. For attack makes guilt
Tx:12.30  does He regard the function of time as temporary, serving only His  teaching function, which is temporary by definition. His emphasis is
Tx:13.8  Him Who knows of freedom. Unite with me under the holy banner of His  teaching, and as we grow in strength, the power of God's Son will
Tx:13.40  need of contrast only here. Contrast and differences are necessary  teaching aids, for by them you learn what to avoid and what to seek.
Tx:13.53 The Holy Spirit, therefore, must begin His  teaching by showing you what you can never learn. His message is not
Tx:13.56  are elsewhere, begins His lesson in simplicity with the fundamental  teaching that truth is true. This is the hardest lesson you will ever
Tx:13.72  imposing on himself the penalty of guilt in place of all the happy  teaching the Holy Spirit would gladly offer him.
Tx:14.9  freedom from pain be his. Yet those who have failed to learn need  teaching, not attack. To attack those who have need of teaching is to
Tx:14.9  to learn need teaching, not attack. To attack those who have need of  teaching is to fail to learn from them.
Tx:14.10  from guilt to the eternal glory of God and His creation. And every  teaching that points to this points straight to Heaven and to the
Tx:14.10  and to the peace of God. There is no pain, no trial, no fear that  teaching this can fail to overcome. The power of God Himself supports
Tx:14.10  this can fail to overcome. The power of God Himself supports this  teaching and guarantees its limitless results.
Tx:14.11  cannot fail and must result in peace. No one can be untouched by  teaching such as this. You will not see yourself beyond the power of
Tx:14.13  but join with me within. Fail not the only purpose to which my  teaching calls you. Restore to God His Son as He created him by
Tx:14.13  my teaching calls you. Restore to God His Son as He created him by  teaching him his innocence.
Tx:14.70  what He has made in place of you. He would establish His bright  teaching so firmly in your mind that no dark lessons of guilt can
Tx:15.1  that and nothing more. God's Teacher cannot be satisfied with His  teaching until it constitutes all your learning. He has not fulfilled
Tx:15.1  until it constitutes all your learning. He has not fulfilled His  teaching function until you have become such a consistent learner
Tx:15.2  that this takes time, and that the results of the Holy Spirit's  teaching are far in the future. This is not so. For the Holy Spirit
Tx:15.2  time in His own way and is not bound by it. [Time is His friend in  teaching. It does not waste Him as it does you.] And all the waste
Tx:15.2  time to convince you of the inevitability of the goal and end of  teaching. To the ego the goal is death, which is its end. But to the
Tx:15.4 The ego teaches that hell is in the future, for this is what all its  teaching is directed to. Hell is its goal, for although the ego aims
Tx:15.4  craves for you, leaves it unsatisfied. No one who follows the ego's  teaching is without the fear of death. Yet if death were thought of
Tx:15.8  from fear in the ego's use of time. For time, according to its  teaching, is nothing but a teaching device for compounding guilt
Tx:15.8  use of time. For time, according to its teaching, is nothing but a  teaching device for compounding guilt until it becomes
Tx:15.10  what you are. Begin to practice the Holy Spirit's use of time as a  teaching aid to happiness and peace. Take this very instant, now, and
Tx:15.17  God's holy Son his holiness. His joy is not contained in time. His  teaching is for you because His joy is yours. Through Him you stand
Tx:15.45 The holy instant is the Holy Spirit's most useful learning device for  teaching you love's meaning. For its purpose is to suspend judgment
Tx:15.48  the ego, as a learning experience which points to truth. Under His  teaching, every relationship becomes a lesson in love.
Tx:15.56  of a relationship and find peace within it. Under the Holy Spirit's  teaching, all relationships are seen as total commitments, yet they
Tx:15.77  as surely as damnation lies in guilt. It is the Holy Spirit's  teaching function to instruct those who believe that communication is
Tx:15.79  Teacher until the holy instant has extended far beyond time. For a  teaching assignment such as His, He must use everything in this world
Tx:15.84  it must be possible because it is the Will of God. And let Him Whose  teaching is only of God teach you the only meaning of relationships.
Tx:15.107  The Prince of Peace was born to reestablish the condition of love by  teaching that communication remains unbroken, even if the body is

Tx:26.30  to those who do not understand that miracles are all the same. Yet  teaching that is what this course is for. This is its only purpose,
Tx:29.16  made to teach opposing things. And they reflect the teacher who is  teaching them. The body can appear to change with time, with sickness

Tx:21.63  how can what enters part be kept away from other parts? Reason would  tell you this. But think what you must recognize if it be so.
Tx:21.64  you would condemn the Son of God to what can never be corrected. You  tell him by your choice that he is damned—separate from you and
Tx:21.64  it disagrees with what you hold more dear than truth? Reason will  tell you that this fact is your release. Neither your brother nor

Tx:21.78  last question you have left unanswered still. And let your reason  tell you that it must be answered and is answered in the other three.
Tx:21.81 Why is the final question so important? Reason will  tell you why. It is the same as are the other three except in time.
Tx:21.88 Reason will  tell you that you cannot ask for happiness inconstantly. For if what

Tx:22.7  secrets. He does not lead you through a world of misery, waiting to  tell you at the journey's end why He did this to you.
Tx:22.8  except another will that is your own, apart from His? Reason would  tell you that this is no secret that need be hidden as a sin. But a

Tx:22.13  his Self could be reborn in safety and in peace. Such did his reason  tell him; such he believed because it was the truth.
Tx:22.19 Reason will  tell you that the only way to escape from misery is to recognize it
Tx:22.20 Both reason and the ego will  tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The ego will

Tx:28.56  know. You send it forth to seek for separation and to be a separate  thing. And then you hate it, not for what it is, but for the uses you
Tx:29.11  power to heal must also now be yours. The miracle is not a separate  thing which happens suddenly, as an effect without a cause. Nor is it
Tx:29.15  the promise of the living God—His Son have life and every living  thing be part of him, and nothing else have life. What you have given
Tx:29.17 Sickness is a demand the body be a  thing that it is not. Its nothingness is guarantee that it can not be
Tx:29.18  its nothingness has not been recognized. And so it seems to be a  thing with power in itself. As something, it can be perceived and
Tx:29.19  despair. It is His loss you celebrate when you behold the body as a  thing you love, or look upon it as a thing you hate. For if He be the

Tx:29.42  fear, how filled with blessing and with happiness! And what a joyous  thing it is to dwell a little while in such a happy place! Nor can it
Tx:29.52  is this which never is perceived and recognized. Be it a body or a  thing, a place, a situation or a circumstance, an object owned or
Tx:29.55  could make demand He enter not? The “more-than-everything” is not a  thing to make you tremble and to quail in fear. Christ's enemy is
Tx:29.60  you could not lose it, did He also give the same to every living  thing as well. And thus is every living thing a part of you, as of

Tx:31.9 There is no living  thing which does not share the universal will that it be whole and
Tx:31.26  a choice that will result in different outcomes, there is first one  thing that must be overlearned. It must become a habit of response so

Tx:31.60 I do not know the  thing I am and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or
Tx:31.79  not. And from that wish, a concept rises, teaching that you are the  thing you wish to be. It will remain your concept of yourself until
Tx:31.81  that it is but a wish, insane and meaningless, to make yourself a  thing which you are not. And think as well upon the thing that you

W1:158.1  which you cannot lose. It was given as well to every living  thing, for by that knowledge only does it live.

W2:240.1  be and therefore look upon a world which is impossible. Not one  thing in this world is true. It does not matter what the form in

Tx:18.57  His Son to make this possible. He would have had to create different  things and to establish different orders of reality, only some of
Tx:18.75  fragment seems to be self-contained, needing each other for some  things but by no means totally dependent on their one Creator for
Tx:19.29  mind, although the body's eyes will see no change. The eyes see many  things the mind corrects, and you respond, not to the eyes'
Tx:19.50  cannot obey two masters, each asking for messages of different  things in different languages. What fear would feed upon, love

Tx:19.53  of love escape their notice. And they will return with all the happy  things they found, to share them lovingly with you. Be not afraid of
Tx:19.77  with death. Made by the ego, its dark shadow falls across all living  things because the ego is the “enemy” of life.
Tx:19.96  and you will nevermore believe that you are at the mercy of  things beyond you, forces you cannot control, and thoughts that come
Tx:20.5  upon the body or to cover it or for its use. See all the useless  things made for its eyes to see. Think on the many offerings made for
Tx:20.28  this world sees them—sickness and death and misery and pain. These  things have not occurred because the Holy Spirit sees them not and
Tx:20.57  has meaning. It is as like your real relationship with God as equal  things are like unto each other. Idolatry is past and meaningless.
Tx:20.73  play the idle game of death in your imagination. But vision sets all  things right, bringing them gently within the kindly sway of Heaven's
Tx:21.20  salvation. All that the ego is, is an idea that it is possible that  things should happen to the Son of God without his will and thus
Tx:21.49  laws of size and shape and brightness would hold, perhaps, if other  things were equal. They are not equal. For what you look for, you are
Tx:21.61  accepting reason where madness was. Madness and reason see the same  things, but it is certain that they look upon them differently.
Tx:21.76  are all the same. We said this year would emphasize the sameness of  things that are the same. This final question, which is indeed the
Tx:22.10  makes and what he hears are highly unreliable, meaning different  things to him at different times. Neither the sounds he hears nor
Tx:23.27  not give willingly to one another, nor would they seek to share the  things they value. And what your enemies would keep from you must be
Tx:24.46  them, holding out His hand that everyone may bless all living  things and see their holiness. And He rejoices that these sights are

Tx:25.10  within itself. And so What is within this mind and does unite all  things together must be its Teacher. Yet must It use the language
Tx:26.24  and to make them different. [How simple is the choice between two  things so clearly unalike.] There is no conflict here. No sacrifice
Tx:26.56  What can remain unhealed and broken from a Unity Which holds all  things within Itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is possible
Tx:27.18 Thus does the miracle undo all  things the world attests can never be undone. And hopelessness and
Tx:27.36 In quietness are all  things answered and is every problem quietly resolved. In conflict

Tx:27.77  is its guiding rule. It tries to look for pleasure and avoid the  things that would be hurtful. Above all, it tries to teach itself its
Tx:27.78  body seeks in many ways to prove it is autonomous and real. It puts  things on itself which it has bought with little metal discs or paper
Tx:27.78  as valuable and good. It works to get them, doing senseless  things, and tosses them away for senseless things it does not need
Tx:27.78  get them, doing senseless things, and tosses them away for senseless  things it does not need and does not even want. It hires other
Tx:27.78  other bodies, that they may protect it, and collect more senseless  things that it can call its own. It looks about for special bodies
Tx:27.83  confined within a body, which it punishes because of all the sinful  things the body does within its dream. You have no power to make the
Tx:28.2  take the place of what God gave in your creation. And like all the  things you made, it can be used to serve another purpose and to be
Tx:28.3  unselective memory, which is not used to interfere with truth. All  things the Holy Spirit can employ for healing have been given Him,
Tx:28.25  neutral, and the bodies which still seem to move about as separate  things need not be feared. And so they are not sick.
Tx:28.30  coming with illusions, for it is His coming that you want above all  things that seem to glisten in the dream.
Tx:29.16  earth it has a double purpose, for it can be made to teach opposing  things. And they reflect the teacher who is teaching them. The body
Tx:29.21  him, without the wall the world has built to keep apart all living  things who know not that they live. Within the dream of bodies and of
Tx:29.39  The stars will disappear, and night and day will be no more. All  things that come and go, the tides, the seasons, and the lives of
Tx:29.39  that come and go, the tides, the seasons, and the lives of men; all  things that change with time and bloom and fade will not return.
Tx:29.39  will not change him. Yet time waits upon forgiveness that the  things of time may disappear because they have no use.
Tx:29.57  the changeless change, the peace of God, forever given to all living  things, give way to chaos, and the Son of God, as perfect, sinless
Tx:29.58  endless, has no place to be. An idol is beyond where God has set all  things forever and has left no room for anything to be except His
Tx:29.66  a child, who does not know what hurts and what will heal. And bad  things seem to happen, and he is afraid of all the chaos in a world
Tx:29.67  what it sees. No one is used for something he is not, for childish  things have all been put away. And what was once a dream of judgment
Tx:30.7  again the kind of day you want, the feelings you would have, the  things you want to happen to you, and the things you would experience
Tx:30.7  you would have, the things you want to happen to you, and the  things you would experience and say,

Tx:30.55  are but asked to let your will be done and seek no longer for the  things you do not want. And you are asked to let yourself be free of
Tx:30.57  into the dream of fear. Instead, there is a wish to understand all  things created as they really are. And it is recognized that all
Tx:30.57  all things created as they really are. And it is recognized that all  things must be first forgiven, and then understood.
Tx:30.58  by its vain appeal, for suffering and death have been perceived as  things not wanted and not striven for. The possibility of freedom has

Tx:30.87  be established while the symbols which are used mean different  things? The Holy Spirit's goal gives one interpretation, meaningful
Tx:30.93 Because reality is changeless is a miracle already there to heal all  things that change and offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid
Tx:31.1  become confused. Why then do you persist in learning not such simple  things?
Tx:31.2 There is a reason. But confuse it not with difficulty in the simple  things salvation asks you learn. It teaches but the very obvious. It
Tx:31.4  the Son of God is guilty, say not that you cannot learn the simple  things salvation teaches you!
Tx:31.12 Let us be still an instant and forget all  things we ever learned, all thoughts we had, and every preconception
Tx:31.12  all thoughts we had, and every preconception which we hold of what  things mean and what their purpose is. Let us remember not our own

Tx:31.45  aspect never makes the first attack. But every day a hundred little  things make small assaults upon its innocence, provoking it to
Tx:31.48  You can be neither blamed for what you are, nor can you change the  things it makes you do. And you are each the symbol of your sins to
Tx:31.51  have made the world as well as you to have such prescience in the  things to come.
Tx:31.57  you perceive a self which interacts with evil and reacts to wicked  things? Your concept of yourself will still remain quite meaningless.
Tx:31.63  choose to see the body, you behold a world of separation, unrelated  things, and happenings that make no sense at all. This one appears
Tx:31.74  silent barricade before the truth, and hides it from your sight. All  things you see are images because you look on them as through a
W1:I.4  as possible. Be sure that you do not decide that there are some  things you see to which the idea for the day is inapplicable. The aim
W1:1.5  in any order, and make no allowance for differences in the kinds of  things to which they are applied. That is the purpose of the
W1:2.1  this idea are the same as those for the first one. Begin with the  things that are near you, and apply the idea to whatever your glance
W1:3.1  in judgment. Anything is suitable if you see it. Some of the  things you see may have emotionally-charged meaning for you. Try to
W1:3.1  for you. Try to lay such feelings aside, and merely use these  things exactly as you would anything else.
W1:3.2  is to help you clear your mind of all past associations, to see  things exactly as they appear to you now, and to realize how little
W1:3.2  keep a perfectly open mind, unhampered by judgment, in selecting the  things to which the idea for the day is to be applied. For this
W1:4.4 This thought about _____ does not mean anything. It is like the  things I see in this room [or wherever you are].
W1:7.5  why your thoughts do not mean anything and why they are like the  things you see.
W1:9.5 Begin with  things that are nearest you, and then extend the range:
W1:10.2  instead of “These thoughts” and no link is made overtly with the  things around you. The emphasis is now on the lack of reality of what
W1:14.7  your personal repertory of horrors at which you are looking. These  things are part of the world you see. Some of them are shared
W1:15.7  you will obviously not be able to apply the idea to very many  things during the minute or so of practice that is recommended, try
W1:17.1  cause and effect as it really operates. You see no neutral  things because you have no neutral thoughts. It is always the thought
W1:17.3 I see no neutral  things because I have no neutral thoughts.
W1:28.2  by itself? And what does “in itself” mean? You see a lot of separate  things about you, which really means you are not seeing at all. You
W1:28.2  or not. When you have seen one thing differently, you will see all  things differently. The light you will see in any one of them is the
W1:29.3 Try then today to begin to learn how to look on all  things with love, appreciation, and open-mindedness. You do not see
W1:30.4  “far.” To help you begin to get used to this idea, try to think of  things beyond your present range as well as those you can actually
W1:35.10  nothing specific occurs to you. Do not strain to think up specific  things to fill the interval, but merely relax and repeat today's idea
W1:37.3  but merely by your quiet recognition that in your holiness are all  things blessed, along with you.
W1:38.2  you are holy, so is everything God created. You are holy because all  things He created are holy. And all things He created are holy
W1:38.2  You are holy because all things He created are holy. And all  things He created are holy because you are.

W1:41.2  and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these  things were real and suffered out of its allegiance to them.
W1:41.6  thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach past all these  things. You are trying to leave appearances and approach reality.
W1:47.2 Of yourself, you can do none of these  things. To believe that you can is to put your trust where trust is
W1:47.6  gain confidence. But the strength of God in you is successful in all  things.
W1:47.8  feel a sense of deep peace, however briefly. Let go all the trivial  things that churn and bubble on the surface of your mind, and reach
W1:50.1  forms of nothingness which you endow with magical powers. All these  things are your replacements for the Love of God. All these things
W1:50.1  these things are your replacements for the Love of God. All these  things are cherished to ensure a body identification. They are songs
W1:51.6  “my” thoughts. I am constantly trying to make them true. I make all  things my “enemies” so that my anger is justified and my attacks are
W1:54.3 [17] I see no neutral  things. What I see witnesses to what I think. If I did not think, I
W1:55.2 [21] I am determined to see  things differently. What I see now are but signs of disease,
W1:55.2  what God created for His beloved Son. The very fact that I see such  things is proof that I do not understand God. Therefore I also do not
W1:57.6  had kept hidden. I begin to understand the holiness of all living  things including myself, and their oneness with me.
W1:58.6  to all good and only good. I am blessed as a Son of God. All good  things are mine because God intended them for me. I cannot suffer any
W1:58.6  who I am. My Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all  things. His care for me is infinite and is with me forever. I am
W1:60.3  I begin to see, I recognize His reflection on earth. I forgive all  things because I feel the stirring of His strength in me. And I begin
W1:70.11 My salvation cannot come from any of these  things. My salvation comes from me, and only from me.

W1:71.8  to what seems to be a conflict with no resolution possible. All  things are possible to God. Salvation must be yours because of His
W1:72.3  attack on God's plan for salvation. But let us consider the kinds of  things which you are apt to hold grievances for. Are they not always
W1:76.1 We have observed before how many senseless  things have seemed to you to be salvation. Each has imprisoned you
W1:76.1  realize salvation lies not there. While you would seek for it in  things that have no meaning, you bind yourself to laws that make no
W1:76.4 It is insanity that thinks these  things. You call them laws and put them under different names in a
W1:83.5 [66] My happiness and my function are one. All  things that come from God are one. They come from Oneness and must be
W1:86.2  about for salvation. I have seen it in many people and in many  things, but when I reached for it, it was not there. I was mistaken
W1:87.2  my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of  things unseen and unreal. Light shall be my guide today. I will
W1:92.4 Strength overlooks these  things by seeing past appearances. It keeps its steady gaze upon the
W1:96.15  in strength, it will again flow out from Spirit to the Spirit in all  things created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind will bless all
W1:96.15  all things created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind will bless all  things. Confusion done, you are restored, for you have found your
W1:99.12 Think of these  things in practicing today, and start your longer practice periods
W1:106.3  Hear them not. Be still today, and listen to the truth. Go past all  things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness within His
W1:R3.9  to practice only at appointed times and then go on your way to other  things without applying what you learned to them. As a result, you
W1:R3.11  to rest a little time in silence and in peace. Then turn to other  things, but try to keep the thought with you and let it serve to help
W1:119.3 [108] To give and to receive are one in truth. I will forgive all  things today, that I may learn how to accept the truth in me and come
W1:122.12  waiting for today. Forgiveness offers everything you want. Today all  things you want are given you.
W1:127.2  remain itself although it is withheld from others. To believe these  things of love is not to understand it. If it could make such
W1:128.3  what you value you make part of you as you perceive yourself. All  things you seek to make your value greater in your sight limit you
W1:129.2  and pitiless with hate. It gives but to rescind and takes away all  things that you have cherished for a while. No lasting love is found,
W1:129.2  is found, for none is here. This is the world of time, where all  things end.
W1:129.3  cannot exist, and vengeance has no meaning? Is it loss to find all  things you really want and know they have no ending, and they will
W1:129.5  that comes to take its place as you unbind your mind from little  things the world sets forth to keep you prisoner there. Value them
W1:129.6  It waits but for your choosing it to take the place of all the  things you seek but do not want.
W1:131.16  standing in a light so bright and clear that you can understand all  things you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you
W1:132.9  if it is indeed your own imagining, then you can loose it from all  things you ever thought it was by merely changing all the thoughts
W1:132.15  all the idle thoughts we ever held about it and about all living  things we see upon it. They cannot be there—no more than we. For we
W1:133.2  too little. When you let your mind be drawn to bodily concerns, to  things you buy, to eminence as valued by the world, you ask for
W1:133.3  in the world. Today we list the real criteria by which to test all  things you think you want. Unless they meet these sound requirements,
W1:133.8  you have denied your own. You therefore will not recognize the  things you really have, denying they are there. Who seeks to take

W1:138.1  believe there are alternatives to choose between. We think that all  things have an opposite, and what we want we choose. If Heaven
W1:139.2  is what it is. From this one point of certainty it looks on other  things as certain as itself. Uncertainty about what you must be is
W1:152.6  You but accuse Him of insanity, to think He made a world where such  things seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only madness makes a
W1:152.7  over life—all this is arrogance. Humility would see at once these  things are not of Him. And can you see what God created not? To think
W1:155.11 When dreams are over, time has closed the door on all the  things that pass, and miracles are purposeless, the holy Son of God
W1:156.4  Presence is so holy that the world is sanctified because of you. All  things that live bring gifts to you and offer them in gratitude and
W1:156.5 The Light in you is what the universe longs to behold. All living  things are still before you, for they recognize Who walks with you.
W1:156.5  itself Which walks with you, transforming in Its gentle Light all  things into Its likeness and Its purity.

W1:163.2  the thought of death seem mighty. For it seems to hold all living  things within its withered hand; all hopes and wishes in its
W1:163.3 All  things but death are seen to be unsure, too quickly lost however hard

W1:164.4  will bring rewards so great and so completely different from all  things you sought before that you will know that here your treasure
W1:164.6  is sacred to the world. Your vision, given you from far beyond all  things within the world, looks back on them in a new light. And what
W1:164.8  own. Open the curtain in your practicing by merely letting go all  things you think you want. Your trifling treasures put away and leave
W1:166.1 All  things are given you. God's trust in you is limitless. He knows His
W1:167.6  mind does not exist because it has no source. For mind creates all  things that are and cannot give them attributes it lacks nor change
W1:169.3  shut tight against God's Voice. It has become aware that there are  things it does not know and thus is ready to accept a state
W1:169.5  is simply the idea God is. And in His Being, He encompasses all  things. No mind holds anything but Him. We say “God is,” and then we
W1:169.9  understood. Now we have work to do, for those in time can speak of  things beyond and listen to words which explain what is to come is
W1:171.2 [151] All  things are echoes of the Voice of God. God is but Love, and therefore

W1:184.2  where there is unity—a space between all things, between all  things and you. Thus do you think that you have given life in
W1:184.3  names by which the world becomes a series of discrete events, of  things un-unified, of bodies kept apart and holding bits of mind as
W1:184.3  perception as you wished to have perception be. The nameless  things were given names and thus reality was given them as well. For
W1:184.4  the given truth. Its enemy is wholeness. It conceives of little  things and looks upon them. And a lack of space, a sense of unity or

W1:184.11  has One Name, One Meaning, and a single Source Which unifies all  things within Itself. Use all the names the world bestows on them but
W1:184.12 God has no name. And yet His Name becomes the final lesson that all  things are one, and at this single lesson learning ends. All names
W1:184.15 Father, our Name is Yours. In It we are united with all living  things and You Who are their One Creator. What we made and call by

W1:190.9  without defense into the quiet place where Heaven's peace holds all  things still at last. Lay down all thoughts of danger and of fear.

W2:232.2  the end of fear. Have faith in Him Who is your Father. Trust all  things to Him. Let Him reveal all things to you, and be you
W2:232.2  Him Who is your Father. Trust all things to Him. Let Him reveal all  things to you, and be you undismayed because you are His Son.
W2:235.1 I need but look upon all  things that seem to hurt me and with perfect certainty assure myself,
W2:WIS.3 Sin is the home of all illusions, which but stand for  things imagined, issuing from thoughts which are untrue. They are the
W2:251.1 I sought for many  things and found despair. Now do I seek but one, for in that one is
W2:252.1  looked upon. Its love is limitless, with an intensity that holds all  things within it in the calm of quiet certainty. Its strength comes
W2:264.1  in the place I see myself, and everywhere I go. You are in all the  things I look upon, the sounds I hear, and every hand that reaches
W2:264.1  stands beyond Your one creation or without the Love Which holds all  things within Itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to
W2:268.1  in Love will I remain forever. What can frighten me when I let all  things be exactly as they are?
W2:WIC.4  and peace has come to every Son of God, what could remain to keep  things separate, for what remains to see except Christ's face?
W2:274.1 Father, today I would let all  things be as You created them and give Your Son the honor due his
W2:275.1  and understand. Join me in hearing. For the Voice of God tells us of  things we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart. It is in this
W2:275.1  we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart. It is in this that all  things are protected. And in this the healing of the Voice of God is
W2:275.2 Your healing Voice protects all  things today, and so I leave all things to You. I need be anxious
W2:275.2 Your healing Voice protects all things today, and so I leave all  things to You. I need be anxious over nothing. For Your Voice will
W2:275.2  The safety that I bring is given me. Father, Your Voice protects all  things through me.
W2:278.1 If I accept that I am prisoner within a body in a world in which all  things that seem to live appear to die, then is my Father prisoner
W2:283.2  and everything created part of us. And so we offer blessing to all  things, uniting lovingly with all the world, which our forgiveness
W2:285.1 Today I wake with joy, expecting but the happy  things of God to come to me. I ask but them to come and realize my
W2:285.1  to which they have been sent by me. And I will ask for only joyous  things the instant I accept my holiness. For what would be the use of
W2:286.1 Father, how still today! How quietly do all  things fall in place! This is the day that has been chosen as the
W2:291.1 Christ's vision looks through me today. His sight shows me all  things forgiven and at peace and offers this same vision to the
W2:295.2  of Christ today and thus allow the Holy Spirit's love to bless all  things that I may look upon, that His forgiving love may rest on me.
W2:299.2  its light. It stands forever perfect and untouched. In it are all  things healed, for they remain as You created them. And I can know my
W2:WISC.1  illusion's place, the willingness to let forgiveness rest upon all  things without exception and without reserve.
W2:WISC.2  hold you safe within its gentle advent, which encompasses all living  things with you. There is no end to the release the Second Coming
W2:303.2  is but what I really am in truth. He is the Son You love above all  things. He is my Self as You created me. It is not Christ that can be
W2:313.1 Father, there is a vision which beholds all  things as sinless, so that fear has gone and where it was is love
W2:315.1  I am blessed with gifts throughout the day, in value far beyond all  things of which I can conceive. A brother smiles upon another, and my
W2:320.2 Your Will can do all  things in me and then extend to all the world as well through me.
W2:328.1 What seems to be the second place is first, for all  things we perceive are upside-down until we listen to the Voice of
W2:330.1  today that He be our Identity and thus escape forever from all  things the dream of fear appears to offer us.
W2:337.1  Atonement for myself and nothing more. God has already done all  things that need be done. And I must learn I need do nothing of
W2:338.1  endanger him. He has no enemies, and he is safe from all external  things. His thoughts can frighten him, but since these thoughts
W2:339.1  receive what he requests. But he can be confused indeed about the  things he wants, the state he would attain. What can he then request
W2:342.1  in and be at home. Let me not wait again today. Let me forgive all  things, and let creation be as You would have it be and as it is. Let
W2:343.1  impossible for me as well as You. I too must give, and so all  things are given unto me forever and forever. As I was created, I
W2:346.1 Father, I wake today with miracles correcting my perception of all  things. And so begins the day I share with You as I will share
W2:346.1  share eternity, for time has stepped aside today. I do not seek the  things of time, and so I will not look upon them. What I seek today
W2:346.1  look upon them. What I seek today transcends all laws of time and  things perceived in time. I would forget all things except Your Love.
W2:346.1  all laws of time and things perceived in time. I would forget all  things except Your Love. I would abide in You and know no laws except
W2:346.2  God. For we will learn today what peace is ours when we forget all  things except God's Love.
W2:349.1 So would I liberate all  things I see and give to them the freedom that I seek. For thus do I
W2:350.1  part of us as we perceive ourselves. The Son of God incorporates all  things within himself as You created him. Your memory depends on his
W2:WAI.3  therefore given us. We look on everyone as brothers and perceive all  things as kindly and as good. We do not seek a function that is past
W2:359.1  Your world and let creation be Your own. We have misunderstood all  things. But we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God. What

Tx:15.36  it far from you. By so much as you want it will you bring it nearer.  Think not that you can find salvation in your own way and have it.
Tx:15.41  yourself alone. For in private thoughts, known only to yourself, you  think you find a way to keep what you would have alone and share what
Tx:15.55  Think you that you can judge the Self of God? God has created it
Tx:15.59  calls on God for love, your call remains as strong. Nor do you  think that, by God's answer to him, your hope of answer is
Tx:15.75  remember this—to be with a body is not communication. And if you  think it is, you will feel guilty about communication and will be
Tx:15.75  you will be abandoned. And yet you do believe it. For you  think that your minds must be kept private or you will lose them, and
Tx:15.82  Think but an instant on this: God gave the Sonship to you to ensure
Tx:15.86  is impossible to recognize as wholly without gratification what you  think you want. The body is the symbol of the ego, as the ego is the
Tx:15.87  ego would limit everyone to a body for its purposes, and while you  think it has a purpose, you will choose to utilize the means by which
Tx:15.95  to be host to the ego or hostage to God. This is the choice you  think you have, and the decision which you believe that you must make.
Tx:15.97  ego, you believe that you can give all your guilt away whatever you  think and purchase peace. And the payment does not seem to be yours.
Tx:15.97  that the ego, which you invited, is treacherous only to those who  think they are its host. The ego will never let you perceive this,
Tx:15.98  with the idea of being able to be neither completely. And this you  think saves you from God, Whose total love would completely destroy
Tx:15.99 You  think that everyone outside yourself demands your sacrifice, but you
Tx:15.101  would bargain with them for a few special relationships in which you  think you see some scraps of safety. Do not try longer to keep apart
Tx:16.8 You will attempt to do this only in secrecy. And you will  think that, by meeting the needs of one, you do not jeopardize
Tx:16.10 You still  think holiness is difficult because you cannot see how it can be
Tx:16.11  is but a way of avoiding or looking away from the whole to what you  think you might be better able to understand. For this is but another
Tx:16.11  keep understanding to yourself. A better and far more helpful way to  think of miracles is this: You do not understand them, either in part
Tx:16.14 You  think your lack of understanding is a loss to you, and so you are
Tx:16.16  just as you fear, that to acknowledge Him is to deny all that you  think you know. But it was never true. What gain is there to you in
Tx:16.20  and let it work in peace. Have faith in what has faith in you.  Think what you have really seen and heard and recognize it. Can you
Tx:16.29 Your bridge is builded stronger than you  think, and your foot is planted firmly on it. Have no fear that the
Tx:16.36  It is essential that we look very closely at exactly what it is you  think you can do to solve the dilemma, which seems very real to you,
Tx:16.52  relationship as a triumph over God, would you want it? Let us not  think of its fearful nature nor of the guilt it must entail nor of
Tx:16.52  out in the special relationship. Through the death of your self, you  think you can attack another self and snatch it from the other to
Tx:16.52  the self which you despise. And you despise it because you do not  think it offers the specialness which you demand. And hating it, you
Tx:16.53 How can you grant unlimited power to what you  think you have attacked? So fearful has the truth become to you that
Tx:16.53  [and unworthy of value,] you would not dare to look upon it. You  think it safer to endow the little self which you have made with
Tx:16.68  join it, it will join with you and become one with you. And you will  think in glad astonishment that for all this you gave up nothing! The
Tx:16.71  you change the past except in fantasy? And who can give you what you  think the past deprived you of? The past is nothing. Do not seek to
Tx:16.71  you are maintaining the illusion that it has not gone because you  think it serves some purpose that you want fulfilled. And it must
Tx:17.2  wish to change reality that is fearful, because by your wish you  think you have accomplished what you wish. This strange position in a
Tx:17.5  Think you that you can bring truth to fantasy and learn what truth
Tx:17.15 They represent the evil that you  think was done to you. You bring them with you only that you may
Tx:17.15  return evil for evil, hoping that their witness will enable you to  think guiltily of another and not harm yourself. They speak so
Tx:17.33  without the picture you cannot have. Defenses operate to make you  think you can.
Tx:17.37  picture, you will realize that it was only the frame that made you  think it was a picture. Without the frame, the picture is seen as
Tx:17.51 You are very new in the ways of salvation and  think you have lost your way. Your way is lost, but think not this is
Tx:17.51  of salvation and think you have lost your way. Your way is lost, but  think not this is loss. In your newness, remember that you have
Tx:17.52  joined with many in the holy instant, and they have joined with you.  Think not your choice will leave you comfortless, for God Himself has
Tx:17.55  holy presence of truth itself. Here is the goal, together with you.  Think you not the goal itself will gladly arrange the means for its
Tx:17.71 Yet  think on this, and learn the cause of faithlessness: You think you
Tx:17.71 Yet think on this, and learn the cause of faithlessness: You  think you hold against the other what he has done to you. But what
Tx:17.78  crucifixion of the Son of God. His faithlessness did this to him.  Think carefully before you let yourself use faithlessness against
Tx:18.6  loss is meaningless and only increase is conceivable. Do you really  think it strange that a world in which everything is backwards and
Tx:18.14 Does not a world that seems quite real arise in dreams? Yet  think what this world is. It is clearly not the world you saw before
Tx:18.21  blessing which the Holy Spirit has laid upon it will be extended.  Think not that He has forgotten anyone in the purpose He has given
Tx:18.21  that He has forgotten anyone in the purpose He has given you. And  think not that He has forgotten you to whom He gave the gift. He uses
Tx:18.22  one of dreams to one of truth. You are not sure of this because you  think it may be this that is the dream. You are so used to choosing
Tx:18.26  your fear increases, for there is little doubt that what you  think it means is fearful. Yet what is that to us who travel surely
Tx:18.36  to confuse your role with God's. Atonement cannot come to those who  think that they must first atone, but only to those who offer it
Tx:18.36  for you. Rather than seek to prepare yourself for Him, try to  think thus:
Tx:18.50  a body cannot be guilty, for it can do nothing of itself. You who  think you hate your bodies deceive yourselves. You hate your minds,
Tx:18.71  limited love was its origin, and it was made to limit the unlimited.  Think not that this is merely allegorical, for it was made to limit
Tx:18.71  identify with externals, something outside itself. You cannot even  think of God without a body or some form you think you recognize.
Tx:18.71  itself. You cannot even think of God without a body or some form you  think you recognize.
Tx:18.73  the sun; this almost imperceptible ripple hails itself as the ocean.  Think how alone and frightened is this little thought, this
Tx:18.77  and deep content to every part. The little aspect which you  think you set apart is no exception.
Tx:18.85 This is the little part of you, you  think you stole from Heaven. Give it back to Heaven. Heaven has not
Tx:18.85  of the Son of God, complete and holy, serene and unaware of what you  think surrounds it. Be you not separate, for the One Who does
Tx:19.8  to it, making it sick because of its identification with it. You  think you are protecting the body by hiding this connection, for this
Tx:19.16  how not to interfere with it and make it slave to time. For what you  think you do to the eternal you do to you. Whom God created as His
Tx:19.24  with the ego that it is far better to be sinful than mistaken. Yet  think you carefully before you allow yourself to make this choice.
Tx:19.26 The ego does not  think it possible that love, not fear, is really called upon by sin
Tx:19.26  true must be eternal and will be repeated endlessly.] For what you  think is real you want and will not let it go. An error, on the other
Tx:19.41 Why would you want peace homeless? What do you  think that it must dispossess to dwell with you? What seems to be the
Tx:19.58 To  think you could be satisfied and happy with so little is to hurt
Tx:19.60 This [is] the value that you  think peace would rob you of. This is what you believe that it would
Tx:19.65  upon each other as you would look on me. Forgive me all the sins you  think the Son of God committed. And in the light of your forgiveness,
Tx:19.66  joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the world will answer.  Think of your happiness as everyone offers you witness of the end of
Tx:19.69  which called them forth and therefore is compatible with them. But  think you which it is that is compatible with you.
Tx:19.70  it is free. But all that lies in it will come with it, and what you  think you are can never be apart from it. The body is the great
Tx:19.70  and disillusionment and for retaliative attack on what you  think has failed you? Use not your error as the justification for
Tx:19.85  life. And what but insanity could look upon the defeat of God and  think it real?
Tx:19.90 What would you see without the fear of death? What would you feel and  think if death held no attraction for you? Very simply, you would
Tx:19.104  the sins your brother thinks he has committed and all the guilt you  think you see in him.
Tx:19.105  which we will return until redemption is accomplished and received.  Think who your brother is before you would condemn him. And offer
Tx:19.109  Think carefully how you would look upon the giver of this gift, for
Tx:20.5  or for its use. See all the useless things made for its eyes to see.  Think on the many offerings made for its pleasure and remember all
Tx:20.10  about a while and laid aside. Listen and hear this carefully, nor  think it but a dream—a careless thought to play with or a toy you
Tx:20.19  you and you disappear? You made this up. It is a picture of what you  think you are, of how you see yourself. A murderer is frightened, and
Tx:20.33  For He Who knows the rest will see to it without your help. But  think not that He does not need your part to help Him with the rest.
Tx:20.34 This is the purpose given you.  Think not that your forgiveness of each other serves but you two
Tx:20.34  to have His laws perfectly fulfilled in them and all their brothers.  Think you when this has been achieved that you will rest without
Tx:20.40  vision that you will merely love him and be glad. You will not  think to judge him, for who would see the face of Christ and yet
Tx:20.60  it. Before we look at them a little closer, remember that if you  think they are impossible, your wanting of the purpose has been
Tx:20.68  is also not of you. Rejoice in what is yours but for the asking and  think not that you need make either means or end. All this is given
Tx:20.70  you laid upon it. What can you value more than this? Why do you  think the body is a better home, a safer shelter for God's Son? Why
Tx:20.77  after vision, who is there who could refuse what must come after?  Think but an instant just on this—you can behold the holiness God
Tx:20.77 —you can behold the holiness God gave His Son. And never need you  think that there is something else for you to see.
Tx:21.6  become accustomed to their world by their adjustments to it. They  think they know their way about in it. They learned it, not through
Tx:21.6  They hate the world they learned through pain. And everything they  think is in it serves to remind them that they are incomplete and
Tx:21.7  they define their life and where they live, adjusting to it as they  think they must, afraid to lose the little that they have. And so it
Tx:21.7  the body is to save the little that they have. Listen and try to  think if you remember what we will speak of now.
Tx:21.21  threatens this seems to attack your faith, for here is it invested.  Think not that you are faithless, for your belief and trust in this
Tx:21.26  created not by your Creator has any influence over you. And if you  think what you have made can tell you what you see and feel and place
Tx:21.26  your Creator and believing that you made yourself. For if you  think the world you made has power to make you what it wills, you are
Tx:21.35  once served sin are redirected now toward holiness. For what you  think is sin is limitation, and whom you try to limit to the body you
Tx:21.37 Those who believe in sin must  think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they think
Tx:21.37  must think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for this is how they  think their purpose is accomplished. Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows
Tx:21.39  Think you the Holy Spirit is concerned with this? He gives not what
Tx:21.39  with this? He gives not what it is His purpose to lead you from. You  think He would deprive you for your good. But “good” and
Tx:21.41  fearful. You are indeed afraid to look within and see the sin you  think is there. This you would not be fearful to admit. Fear in
Tx:21.45  the Holy Spirit's purpose, and so there must be something else.  Think not that this is madness. For this your reason tells you, and
Tx:21.50  beyond your own control and far more powerful than you. And you will  think the world you made directs your destiny. For this will be your
Tx:21.52  the basic question is obvious, simple, and remains unasked. But  think not reason could not answer it.
Tx:21.59  value them, but their correction. Reason will also tell you when you  think you sin, you call for help. Yet if you will not accept the help
Tx:21.59  to your brother. And if he shares this same belief, you both will  think that you are damned. This you could spare him and yourself. For
Tx:21.61 No one can  think but for himself, as God thinks not without His Son. Only were
Tx:21.61  His Son. Only were both in bodies could this be. Nor could one mind  think only for itself unless the body were the mind. For only bodies
Tx:21.63 The body does not separate you from your brother, and if you  think it does, you are insane. But madness has a purpose and believes
Tx:21.63  part be kept away from other parts? Reason would tell you this. But  think what you must recognize if it be so.
Tx:21.64  have him, and what you choose he be is but your choice for you. Yet  think not this is fearful. That you are joined to him is but a fact,
Tx:21.83 Why do you  think you are unsure the others have been answered? Could it be
Tx:21.84  as helpless. Desire what you will, and you will look on it and  think it real. No thought but has the power to release or kill. And
Tx:21.89  will is powerful as His, a power that is not lost in your illusions,  think carefully why it should be you have not yet decided how you
Tx:22.2  each to complete himself and rob the other. They stay until they  think there's nothing left to steal and then move on. And so they
Tx:22.4  Think what a holy relationship can teach! Here is belief in
Tx:22.6  And yet this strange idea, which it does accurately describe, you  think is you. Reason would tell you that the world you see through
Tx:22.7  For you have listened to what can never communicate at all.  Think, then, what happened. Denying what you are and firm in faith
Tx:22.8  is the one emotion that keeps you blind, dependent on the self you  think you made to lead you through the world it made for you.
Tx:22.12  Think what is given you, my holy brothers. This child will teach you
Tx:22.14  reborn in just an instant. For what is time to what was always so?  Think what that instant brought—the recognition that the “something
Tx:22.39  way that seem hard, for you have chosen, although you still may  think you can go back and make the other choice. This is not so. A
Tx:22.40  your awareness, and peace has reached you even here before the veil.  Think what will happen after! The love of Christ will light your
Tx:22.41  Think of the loveliness that you will see who walk with Him! And
Tx:22.41 Think of the loveliness that you will see who walk with Him! And  think how beautiful will each of you look to the other! How happy you
Tx:22.53 Be not disturbed at all to  think how He can change the role of means and end so easily in what
Tx:22.60  And it is only arrogance that would deny the power of your will.  Think you the Will of God is powerless? Is this humility? You do not
Tx:22.61  could be real. You do not see that this is your attempt because you  think the Father and the Son are separate. And you must think that
Tx:22.61  because you think the Father and the Son are separate. And you must  think that they are separate because of fear. For it seems safer to
Tx:22.64  your minds are one? Look not with fear upon this happy fact and  think not that it lays a heavy burden on you. For when you have
Tx:23.2  fight against it and try to weaken it because of this; and you will  think that you succeeded and attack again. It is as certain you will
Tx:23.4  you to littleness. There can be no attraction of guilt in innocence.  Think what a happy world you walk with truth beside you! Do not give
Tx:23.8  love there. This is the conflict's purpose. And to those who  think that it is possible, the means seem real.
Tx:23.11  must be forgotten. It is forgotten in the body's life, and if you  think you are a body, you will believe you have forgotten it. Yet
Tx:23.17  turn on itself and seek to overcome the One Who dwells there? And  think what happens when the house of God perceives itself divided.
Tx:23.21  Think how this seems to interfere with the first principle of
Tx:23.23  Think what this seems to do to the relationship between the Father
Tx:23.24  which would define what the Creator of reality must be; what He must  think and what He must believe; and how He must respond, believing
Tx:23.26  And God Himself seems to be siding with it to overcome His Son.  Think not the ego will enable you to find escape from what it wants.
Tx:23.29  it was taken from you by this enemy and hidden where you would not  think to look. He hid it in his body, making it the cover for his
Tx:23.35  says it wants to save. Be not deceived when madness takes a form you  think is lovely. What is intent on your destruction is not your
Tx:23.36 You would maintain and  think it true that you do not believe these senseless laws nor act
Tx:23.39  reversal, leading still deeper into terror and away from truth.  Think not one step is smaller than another nor that return from one
Tx:23.46  desire to communicate and the unnatural intent to murder and to die.  Think you the form that murder takes can offer safety? Can guilt be
Tx:23.54  Think what is given those who share their Father's purpose and who
Tx:23.54  their happiness could ever suffer change of any kind. Perhaps you  think the battleground can offer something that you can win. Can it
Tx:23.55 Those with the strength of God in their awareness could never  think of battle. What could they gain but loss of their perfection?
Tx:24.4  challenge you to combat and to violence far more inclusive than you  think, are there by your election. Do not deny their presence nor
Tx:24.9  makes you give each other only partial welcome or would let you  think that you are better off apart. Is it not always your belief
Tx:24.15 You are not special. If you  think you are and would defend your specialness against the truth of
Tx:24.16  would look upon, and it would show them that the specialness they  think they see is an illusion. What would they see instead?
Tx:24.18  this: He has not lost the power to forgive you all the sins you  think you placed between him and the function of salvation given him
Tx:24.19  Think of the loveliness that you will see within yourself when you
Tx:24.30  death is not your will, must say, “Thy will be done” because you  think it is.
Tx:24.43  but the sight of death? Where does it lead but to destruction? Yet  think not that it looked upon your brother first, nor hated him
Tx:24.56  and needs no end. What never was is not a part of you. Yet you will  think it is until you realize that it is not a part of him who stands
Tx:24.58  the rest. You place yourself under the laws you see as ruling him.  Think, then, how great the love of God for you must be that He has
Tx:24.65  body, yes, a little—not from time, but temporarily. And much you  think you save, you hurt. What would you save it for? For in that
Tx:25.2  bodies. And as long as they believe they are in bodies, where they  think they are He cannot be. And so they carry Him unknowingly and do
Tx:25.6  to be—the world you want to live in and the state in which you  think your mind will be content and satisfied. It chooses where you
Tx:25.6  think your mind will be content and satisfied. It chooses where you  think your safety lies, at your decision. It reveals yourself to you
Tx:25.10  takes note of time and place as if they were discrete, for while you  think that part of you is separate, the concept of a oneness joined
Tx:25.12  that what the body's eyes perceive fills you with fear? Perhaps you  think you find a hope of satisfaction there. Perhaps you fancy to
Tx:25.17  that will endure forever when yours has crumbled into dust. But  think you not the picture is destroyed in any way. What God creates
Tx:25.18  which but reflects the light that shines from it to its Creator.  Think not this face was ever darkened because you saw it in a frame
Tx:25.31  but he can wish for what would hurt him. And he has the power to  think he can be hurt. What could this be except a misperception of
Tx:25.33  at what you see because you see it to rejoice.” And while you  think that suffering and sin will bring you joy, so long will they be
Tx:25.35 Would you not do this for the love of God? And for yourself? For  think what it would do for you. Your “evil” thoughts that haunt you
Tx:25.38  wholly innocent? And who, because he wishes to attack, can fail to  think it must be guilty to deserve the wish and leave him innocent?
Tx:25.40  he would have found if he fulfilled the role God gave to him. But  think not Heaven is lost to him alone. Nor can it be regained unless
Tx:25.48  not imposed on you; its values are not yours. [And nothing that you  think you see in it is really there at all.] And this is seen and
Tx:25.49  Holy Spirit needs your special function that His may be fulfilled.  Think not you lack a special value here. You wanted it, and it is
Tx:25.52 Let us go back to what we said before and  think of it more carefully. It must be so that either God is mad or
Tx:25.53  your Father's sanity and yours. For God and His beloved Son do not  think differently. And it is the agreement of their thought that
Tx:25.53  must lie apart from both the Father and the Son. This you believe.  Think not that this belief depends upon the form it takes. Who thinks
Tx:25.56  to your special needs and to the special time and place in which you  think you find yourself and where you can be free of place and time
Tx:25.69 So do they  think the loss of sin a curse. And flee [the blessing of] the Holy
Tx:25.70  are innocent. Love is not understandable to sinners because they  think that justice is split off from love and stands for something
Tx:25.71  and vitality and powerless to save? What can Love ask of you who  think that all of this is true? Could He, in justice and in love
Tx:25.78 What can it be but arrogance to  think your little errors cannot be undone by Heaven's justice? And
Tx:25.85 Unless you  think that all your brothers have an equal right to miracles with
Tx:26.3  placed on everything outside, just as they are on everything you  think is yours. For giving and receiving are the same. And to accept
Tx:26.7  eyes and ears bear witness to the death of God and of His holy Son,  think not that you have power to make of them what God willed not
Tx:26.11 The Holy Spirit offers you release from every problem that you  think you have. They are the same to Him because each one, regardless
Tx:26.12 This one mistake in any form has one correction. There is no loss; to  think there is, is a mistake. You have no problems, though you think
Tx:26.12  to think there is, is a mistake. You have no problems, though you  think you have. And yet you could not think so if you saw them vanish
Tx:26.12  have no problems, though you think you have. And yet you could not  think so if you saw them vanish one by one without regard to size,
Tx:26.12  which you perceive that makes each one seem different from the rest.  Think not the limits you impose on what you see can limit God in any
Tx:26.15  and necessary to preserve yourself. It is these problems that you  think are great and cannot be resolved. For there are those you want
Tx:26.16  Think then how great your own release will be when you are willing to
Tx:26.31  when it can be used to reach a goal as high as learning can achieve?  Think not the way to Heaven's gate is difficult at all. Nothing you
Tx:26.33  maze you still perceive in time, though it has long since gone. You  think you live in what is past. Each thing you look upon you saw but
Tx:26.45  Whom all power in earth and Heaven rests. The one illusion that you  think is friend obscures His grace and majesty from you and keeps His
Tx:26.68  different forms. If it has been projected beyond your minds, you  think of it as time. The nearer it is brought to where it is, the
Tx:26.68  of it as time. The nearer it is brought to where it is, the more you  think of it in terms of space.
Tx:26.69  believe that trust would settle every problem now. Thus do you  think it safer to remain a little careful and a little watchful of
Tx:26.69  conceive of gaining what forgiveness offers now. The interval you  think lies in between the giving and receiving of the gift seems to
Tx:26.77  Think but how holy you must be from whom the Voice for God calls
Tx:26.77  that you may awake in him the Voice that answers to your call! And  think how holy he must be when in him sleeps your own salvation with
Tx:26.85  have a differential view of when attack is justified and when you  think it is unfair and not to be allowed. When you perceive it as
Tx:26.85  is unfair and not to be allowed. When you perceive it as unfair, you  think that a response of anger now is just. And thus you see what is
Tx:26.86  unfair to you? It means that there must be some forms in which you  think it fair. For otherwise, how could some be evaluated as unfair?
Tx:26.89 You  think your brother is unfair to you because you think that one must
Tx:26.89 You think your brother is unfair to you because you  think that one must be unfair to make the other innocent. And in this
Tx:27.16  of witness comes from your belief. And everything you say or do or  think but testifies to what you teach to him.
Tx:27.23  Correction, to a mind so split, must be a way to punish sins you  think are yours in someone else. And thus does he become your victim,
Tx:27.24  seems to have a different purpose from the one you cherish and you  think is yours. Thus does your function seem divided, with a half in
Tx:27.25  two. And what you would correct is only half the error, which you  think is all of it. Your brother's sins become the central target for
Tx:27.59  is past forgiveness and is true. How foolish and insane it is to  think a miracle is bound by laws which it came solely to undo! The
Tx:27.64  of what I do. Your presence justifies my wrath, and you exist and  think apart from me. While you attack, I must be innocent. And what I
Tx:27.73  more fearful than an idle dream has terrified God's Son and made him  think that he has lost his innocence, denied his Father, and made war
Tx:27.82  understand that time cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a joke to  think that time can come to circumvent eternity, which means there is
Tx:27.83  see depicts exactly what you thought you did. Except that now you  think that what you did is being done to you. The guilt for what you

Tx:30.30  may be free. There is no freedom from what must occur. And if you  think there is, you must be wrong.
Tx:30.36  For what is done to him whom God so loves is done to God Himself.  Think not He wills to bind you, Who has made you co-creator of the

Tx:30.43  nor have they a separate life apart from his. The thoughts you  think are in your mind, as you are in the mind Which thought of you.

Tx:30.49  yourself and what is true. And you attack them for the things you  think they represent. What lies beyond them cannot be attacked.
Tx:30.63  at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they still look back and  think they see an idol that they want. Yet has their path been surely
Tx:30.66 Do not look back except in honesty. And when an idol tempts you,  think of this:
Tx:30.73  But he is saved from this dilemma if he can forgive. The mind must  think of its Creator as it looks upon itself. If you can see your
Tx:30.73  have learned forgiveness is your right as much as his. Nor will you  think that God intends for you a fearful judgment which your brother

Tx:30.78  guilt in all its forms and all its consequence. There is no way to  think of him but this if you would know the truth about yourself:
Tx:30.82  each one be open to interpretation which is different every time you  think of it. You add an element into the script you write for every
Tx:30.83  on different aspects of experience. And then in looking back you  think you see another meaning in what went before. What have you
Tx:30.89  you see will change, and yet you thought it real before, and now you  think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to form and capable of
Tx:31.14  And by your wish, you set two choices to be made each time you  think you must decide on anything. Neither is true. Nor are they
Tx:31.16 Perhaps you call it love. Perhaps you  think that it is murder justified at last. You hate the one you gave
Tx:31.16  And this is what you made your brother for and learned to  think that this his purpose is. Unless he serves it, he has not
Tx:31.18 Before you answer, pause to  think of this:
Tx:31.21  and answer to the Christ Who calls to you. Be still and listen.  Think not ancient thoughts. Forget the dismal lessons that you
Tx:31.23  would be a safer place for him to be. Can you make progress if you  think the same, advancing only when he would step back and falling
Tx:31.25  clear that while you still insist on leading or on following, you  think you walk alone with no one by your side? This is the road to
Tx:31.30  which sin must kill. In death is sin preserved, and those who  think that they are sin must die for what they think they are.
Tx:31.30  and those who think that they are sin must die for what they  think they are.
Tx:31.31  nor keep in chains to the illusion of a changing love the ones you  think are friends.
Tx:31.33 There is a tendency to  think the world can offer consolation and escape from problems which
Tx:31.33  And you are in control of outcomes of your choosing. Thus you  think within the narrow band from birth to death a little time is
Tx:31.39  Think not that happiness is ever found by following a road away from
Tx:31.42  from yourself does not exist. How foolish and insane it is to  think that there could be a road with such an aim! Where could it go?
Tx:31.51  you. For even though you do not yet perceive that this is what you  think, you surely learned by now that you behave as if it were. Does
Tx:31.52  attacks it so? Let us forget the concept's foolishness and merely  think of this—there are two parts to what you think yourself to be.
Tx:31.52  and merely think of this—there are two parts to what you  think yourself to be. If one was generated by your brother, who was
Tx:31.53  must be kept in darkness is that in the light the one who would not  think it true is you. And what would happen to the world you know if
Tx:31.56  the mind, but with the simple statement that it thinks. And what can  think has choice and can be shown that different thoughts have
Tx:31.62  but this one. What you decide in this determines all you see and  think is real and hold as true. On this one choice does all your
Tx:31.65  forever true. It matters not where you believe you are nor what you  think the truth about yourself must really be. It makes no difference
Tx:31.65  no difference what you look upon nor what you choose to feel or  think or wish. For God Himself has said, “Your will be done.” And it
Tx:31.67  Your will be done, you holy Child of God. It does not matter if you  think you are in earth or Heaven. What your Father wills for you can
Tx:31.71  but never jointly held. The contrast is far greater than you  think, for you will love this concept of yourself because it was not
Tx:31.81  and meaningless, to make yourself a thing which you are not. And  think as well upon the thing that you would be instead. It is a thing
Tx:31.86  and the strength of Christ in you. And what you choose is what you  think is real. Simply by never using weakness to direct your actions,

W1:5.1  preceding one, can be used with any person, situation, or event you  think is causing you pain. Apply it specifically to whatever you

W1:12.6  applying today's idea to what you think is pleasant and what you  think is unpleasant. For the purposes of these exercises, there is no
W1:13.1  meaning exists. However, it does not follow that you will not  think you perceive something that has no meaning. On the contrary,
W1:13.1  has no meaning. On the contrary, you will be particularly likely to  think you do perceive it.
W1:13.7 A meaningless world engenders fear because I  think I am in competition with God.
W1:13.8  Do not dwell on the concluding statement, and try not even to  think of it except during the exercise periods. That will suffice at
W1:14.4 With eyes closed,  think of all the horrors in the world that cross your mind. Name each

W1:15.1 It is because the thoughts you think you  think appear as images that you do not recognize them as nothing. You
W1:15.1  appear as images that you do not recognize them as nothing. You  think you think them, and so you think you see them. This is how your

W1:15.1  not recognize them as nothing. You think you think them, and so you  think you see them. This is how your “seeing” was made. This is the
W1:17.1  the way the world thinks, but you must learn that it is the way you  think. If it were not so, perception would have no cause and would
W1:23.4  cause is gone? Vision already holds a replacement for everything you  think you see now. Loveliness can light your images and so transform
W1:26.4  thoughts can attack you. Nothing except your thoughts can make you  think you are vulnerable. And nothing except your thoughts can prove
W1:30.4  “near” and “far.” To help you begin to get used to this idea, try to  think of things beyond your present range as well as those you can
W1:35.2 You will believe that you are part of where you  think you are. That is because you surround yourself with the
W1:35.8 You should not  think of these terms in an abstract way. They will occur to you as
W1:35.10  intervals in which nothing specific occurs to you. Do not strain to  think up specific things to fill the interval, but merely relax and

W1:41.5  period, repeat today's idea very slowly. Then make no effort to  think of anything. Try instead to get a sense of turning inward, past
W1:41.8  often, repeating it very slowly and preferably with eyes closed.  Think of what you are saying; what the words mean. Concentrate on the
W1:42.4  eyes and repeat the idea again, quite slowly. After this, try to  think of nothing except thoughts which occur to you in relation to
W1:42.4  thoughts which occur to you in relation to today's idea. You might  think, for example:
W1:43.3  apart from God. Whatever you do, you do in Him because whatever you  think, you think with His Mind. If vision is real, and it is real to
W1:43.3  God. Whatever you do, you do in Him because whatever you think, you  think with His Mind. If vision is real, and it is real to the extent
W1:43.11  out of accord with today's idea, or if you seem to be unable to  think of anything, open your eyes, repeat the first phase, and then
W1:44.1  darkness, and you cannot make light. You can make darkness and then  think you see in it, but light reflects life and is therefore an
W1:44.10  that you are approaching if not actually entering into light. Try to  think of light, formless and without limit, as you pass by the
W1:45.1  the key to what your real thoughts are. They are nothing that you  think you think, just as nothing that you think you see is related to
W1:45.1  to what your real thoughts are. They are nothing that you think you  think, just as nothing that you think you see is related to vision in
W1:45.1  They are nothing that you think you think, just as nothing that you  think you see is related to vision in any way. There is no
W1:45.1  any way. There is no relationship between what is real and what you  think is real. Nothing that you think are your real thoughts
W1:45.1  between what is real and what you think is real. Nothing that you  think are your real thoughts resembles your real thoughts in any
W1:45.1  resembles your real thoughts in any respect. Nothing that you  think you see bears any resemblance to what vision will show you.
W1:45.2 You  think with the Mind of God. Therefore you share your thoughts with
W1:45.2  To share is to make alike or to make one. Nor do the thoughts you  think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because thoughts do not
W1:50.4  let the idea for today sink deep into your consciousness. Repeat it,  think about it, let related thoughts come to help you recognize its
W1:R1.3  periods. Rather, try merely to emphasize the central point and  think about it as part of your review of the idea to which it relates.
W1:51.2  is necessary that I recognize this, that I may learn to see. What I  think I see now is taking the place of vision. I must let it go by
W1:51.5  of which I am aware do not mean anything because I am trying to  think without God. What I call “my” thoughts are not my real
W1:51.5  are not my real thoughts. My real thoughts are the thoughts I  think with God. I am not aware of them because I have made my
W1:51.5  My thoughts are meaningless, but all creation lies in the thoughts I  think with God.
W1:51.6 [5] I am never upset for the reason I  think. I am never upset for the reason I think because I am
W1:51.6  upset for the reason I think. I am never upset for the reason I  think because I am constantly trying to justify “my” thoughts. I am
W1:54.3 [17] I see no neutral things. What I see witnesses to what I  think. If I did not think, I would not exist, because life is
W1:54.3  neutral things. What I see witnesses to what I think. If I did not  think, I would not exist, because life is thought. Let me look on the
W1:54.5  the effects of my thoughts. I am alone in nothing. Everything I  think or say or do touches all the universe. A Son of God cannot
W1:54.5  I think or say or do touches all the universe. A Son of God cannot  think or speak or act in vain. He cannot be alone in anything. It is
W1:55.5  recognize my own best interests when I do not know who I am? What I  think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the world
W1:56.3  all else I want to see. Recognizing that what I see reflects what I  think I am, I realize that vision is my greatest need. The world I
W1:59.4  Beyond His Will lie only illusions. It is these I choose when I  think I can see apart from Him. It is these I choose when I try to
W1:59.6 [45] God is the Mind with which I  think. I have no thoughts I do not share with God. I have no thoughts
W1:61.4 You will want to  think about this idea as often as possible today. It is the perfect
W1:61.7 Then  think about these statements for a short while, preferably with your
W1:64.2  the world is a place where you learn to forgive yourself what you  think of as your sins. In this perception, the physical appearance of
W1:66.7  thoughts are wrong that the conclusion could be false. Let us, then,  think about the premises for a while, as we are practicing.
W1:66.11  Think about this during the longer practice period today. Think also
W1:66.11 Think about this during the longer practice period today.  Think also about the many forms which the illusion of your function
W1:66.12  listen to madness or hear the truth. Try to make this choice as you  think about the premises on which our conclusion rests. We can share
W1:66.16  than a minute, and probably less, to repeat these words slowly and  think about them a little while you say them.
W1:67.2  moment, that it is the truth. In the longer practice period, we will  think about your reality and its wholly unchanged and unchangeable
W1:68.2  make you unlike Him. It makes you believe that He is like what you  think you have become, for no one can conceive of his Creator as
W1:68.5 Perhaps you do not  think you can let all your grievances go. That, however, is simply a
W1:68.6  as major grievances. Some of these will be quite easy to find. Then  think of the seemingly minor grievances you hold against those you
W1:68.6  seemingly minor grievances you hold against those you like and even  think you love. It will quickly become apparent that there is no one
W1:68.9 Spend the remainder of the practice period trying to  think of yourself as completely at peace with everyone and
W1:69.4  go of all the content which generally occupies your consciousness.  Think of your mind as a vast circle, surrounded by a layer of heavy
W1:70.13  pass the clouds by whatever means appeals to you. If it helps you,  think of me holding your hand and leading you. And I assure you this
W1:74.9  difficult to resolve, single it out for special consideration.  Think about it briefly but very specifically, identify the particular
W1:76.3  Think of the freedom in the recognition that you are not bound by all
W1:76.3  and twisted laws which you have set up to save you. You really  think that you would starve unless you have stacks of green paper
W1:76.3  stacks of green paper strips and piles of metal discs. You really  think a small round pellet or some fluid pushed into your veins
W1:76.3  veins through a sharpened needle will ward off death. You really  think you are alone unless another body is with you.
W1:76.4  long catalogue of rituals that have no use and serve no purpose. You  think you must obey the “laws” of medicine, of economics, and of
W1:76.5  It is from this your “laws” would save the body. It is for this you  think you are a body.
W1:76.8  of medication, and of the body's protection in innumerable ways.  Think further—you believe in the laws of friendship, of “good”
W1:76.9 Perhaps you even  think that there are laws which set forth what is God's and what is
W1:78.5  and look at him. Someone perhaps you fear and even hate; someone you  think you love who angers you; someone you call a friend, but whom
W1:78.7  his body with its flaws and better points as well, and we will  think of his mistakes and even of his “sins.”
W1:78.10 The body's eyes are closed, and as you  think of him who grieved you, let your mind be shown the light in him
W1:78.12  behind our grievances. To everyone you meet and to the ones you  think of or remember from the past, allow the role of savior to be
W1:79.5  as you regard them. Some spring up unexpectedly, just as you  think you have resolved the previous ones. Others remain unsolved
W1:79.7  free our minds of all the many different kinds of problems that we  think we have. We will try to realize that we have only one problem,
W1:83.2  only, I am always certain what to do, what to say, and what to  think. All doubt must disappear as I acknowledge that my only
W1:91.8  this statement ends is needed for our exercises today. What you  think you are is a belief to be undone. But what you really are must
W1:92.1 The idea for today is an extension of the previous one. You do not  think of light in terms of strength and darkness in terms of
W1:92.2  and the body's eyes can see. You also believe the body's brain can  think. If you but understood the nature of thought, you could but
W1:92.2  more foolish than to believe the body's eyes can see, the brain can  think.
W1:92.3  that is the light in which you see, as it is His Mind with which you  think. His strength denies your weakness. It is your weakness that
W1:93.1 You  think you are the home of evil, darkness, and sin. You think if
W1:93.1 You think you are the home of evil, darkness, and sin. You  think if anyone could see the truth about you he would be repelled,
W1:93.1  be repelled, recoiling from you as if from a poisonous snake. You  think if what is true about you were revealed to you, you would be
W1:93.3 Today we question this, not from the point of view of what you  think, but from a very different reference point from which such idle
W1:93.4  would you not be overjoyed to be assured that all the evil that you  think you did was never done, that all your “sins” are nothing, that
W1:93.4  in you? Your image of yourself cannot withstand the Will of God. You  think that this is death, but it is life. You think you are
W1:93.4  the Will of God. You think that this is death, but it is life. You  think you are destroyed, but you are saved.
W1:93.5  this self does not exist at all. And anything it seems to do and  think means nothing. It is neither bad nor good. It is unreal and
W1:93.7  created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may  think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you
W1:96.6 Yet mind apart from Spirit cannot  think. It has denied its Source of strength and sees itself as
W1:96.17  of it is given everyone who asks for it and will accept the gift.  Think, then, how much is given unto you to give this day, that it be
W1:99.10 This part belongs to God, as does the rest. It does not  think its solitary thoughts and make them real by hiding them from
W1:99.12  Think of these things in practicing today, and start your longer
W1:99.15  have no function that is not of God. Forgive yourself the one you  think you made. Forgiveness and salvation are the same. Forgive what
W1:100.8  of you or anyone who wants to take his place among God's messengers.  Think what this means. You have indeed been wrong in your belief that
W1:101.1  suffering as penance for your “sins.” This is not so. Yet you must  think it so while you believe that sin is real and that God's Son can
W1:102.1 You do not want to suffer. You may  think it buys you something and may still believe a little that it
W1:102.2  at all. It offers nothing and does not exist. And everything you  think it offers you is lacking in existence like itself. You have
W1:103.2  then with love, and its results become the heritage of minds that  think what they have made is real. These images, with no reality in
W1:105.7  to yourself. And here you must return to claim them as your own.  Think of your “enemies” a little while, and tell each one as he
W1:105.11  your five minutes thus with Him each time you can today, but do not  think that less is worthless when you cannot give Him more. At least
W1:107.9  certain of success as we are sure we live and hope and breathe and  think. We do not doubt we walk with truth today and count on it to
W1:108.10 Then close your eyes, and for five minutes  think of what you would hold out to everyone to have it yours. You
W1:108.12  return, for this is what you asked. It might be helpful, too, to  think of one to whom to give your gifts. He represents the others,
W1:108.13  from this time on, and we will make much faster progress now.  Think of the exercises for today as quick advances in your learning,
W1:R3.5  which are written first in each day's exercise. And then begin to  think about them while letting your mind relate them to your needs,
W1:R3.11  you keep your peace throughout the day as well. If you are shaken,  think of it again. These practice periods are planned to help you
W1:119.2 [107] Truth will correct all errors in my mind. I am mistaken when I  think I can be hurt in any way. I am God's Son whose Self rests
W1:121.6  other Self in you. Through Him you learn how to forgive the self you  think you made and let it disappear. Thus you return your mind as one
W1:121.9  that they are one through practicing forgiving toward one whom you  think of as an enemy and one whom you consider as a friend. And as
W1:122.13  forgetfulness but hold them firmly in your mind by your attempts to  think of them at least a minute as each quarter of an hour passes by.
W1:123.8  for you, how perfect is His gratitude to you. Remember hourly to  think of Him and give Him thanks for everything He gave His Son that
W1:126.2  appeals for help are not in any way related to your own. You further  think that they can sin without affecting your perception of
W1:126.5  to let the sinner not escape the justified repayment for his sin.  Think you the Lord of Heaven would allow the world's salvation to
W1:126.7  Him the gift He asks of you, you cannot recognize His gifts and  think He has not given them to you. Yet would He ask you for a gift
W1:127.1 Perhaps you  think that different kinds of love are possible. Perhaps you think
W1:127.1  you think that different kinds of love are possible. Perhaps you  think there is a kind of love for this, a kind for that; a way of
W1:127.6 Today we practice making free our minds of all the laws you  think you must obey, of all the limits under which you live, and all
W1:127.6  all the limits under which you live, and all the changes which you  think are part of human destiny. Today we take the largest single
W1:127.11  our love if we would know our Self. At least three times an hour  think of one who makes the journey with you and who came to learn
W1:128.8 Protect your mind throughout the day as well. And when you  think you see some value in an aspect or an image of the world,
W1:129.1  more satisfying, filled with joy, and capable of offering you peace.  Think you this world can offer that to you?

W1:138.1  for contradiction is the way we make what we perceive and what we  think is real. Creation knows no opposite. But here is opposition
W1:138.4 You need to be reminded that you  think a thousand choices are confronting you when there is really
W1:R4.3 My mind holds only what I  think with God.
W1:R4.6 And yet your mind holds only what you  think with God. Your self-deceptions cannot take the place of truth.

W1:151.3  and close upon the truth. This is awareness which you understand and  think more real than what is witnessed to by the eternal Voice of God
W1:152.1  his choice elects this state for him. No one can grieve nor fear nor  think him sick unless these are the outcomes that he wants. And no
W1:152.6 Is it not strange that you believe to  think you made the world you see is arrogance? God made it not. Of
W1:152.6  within a body that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to  think He made a world where such things seem to have reality. He is
W1:152.7 To  think that God made chaos, contradicts His Will, invented opposites
W1:152.7  things are not of Him. And can you see what God created not? To  think you can is merely to believe you can perceive what God willed
W1:152.8  your rightful place as co-creator of the universe, and all you  think you made will disappear. What rises to awareness then will be
W1:152.12 We  think of truth alone as we arise and spend five minutes practicing
W1:153.10 Be still a moment, and in silence  think how holy is your purpose, how secure you rest, untouchable
W1:153.18 In time, with practice, you will never cease to  think of Him and hear His loving Voice guiding your footsteps into
W1:153.18  even though your time is spent in offering salvation to the world.  Think you He will not make this possible for you who chose to carry
W1:154.1  its entirety. Our part is cast in Heaven, not in hell. And what we  think is weakness can be strength; what we believe to be our strength
W1:155.14 And now He asks but that you  think of Him a while each day that He may speak to you and tell you

W1:162.4  complete because its sharing is unlimited. And thus you learn to  think with God. Christ's vision has restored your sight by salvaging

W1:166.9  touched your shoulder, and you feel that you are not alone. You even  think the miserable self you thought was you may not be your
W1:167.3 You  think that death is of the body. Yet it is but an idea, irrelevant to
W1:167.6 The mind can  think it sleeps, but that is all. It cannot change what is its waking

W1:169.6 We cannot speak nor write nor even  think of this at all. It comes to every mind when total recognition
W1:170.1  attacks without intent to hurt. This can have no exception. When you  think that you attack in self defense, you mean that to be cruel is
W1:170.10 Yet do not  think that fear is the escape from fear. Let us remember what the
W1:182.4 Perhaps you  think it is your childhood home that you would find again. The
W1:182.9  comes without defenses, offering only love's messages to those who  think he is their enemy. He holds the might of Heaven in His hand and
W1:183.8  which can never be refused. And God will come and answer it Himself.  Think not He hears the little prayers of those who call on Him with
W1:184.2  a space between all things, between all things and you. Thus do you  think that you have given life in separation. By this split you think
W1:184.2  you think that you have given life in separation. By this split you  think you are established as a unity which functions with an
W1:184.6  sum of the inheritance the world bestows. And everyone who learns to  think that it is so accepts the signs and symbols which assert the
W1:184.8  Think not you made the world. Illusions, yes! But what is true in

W1:190.4  The time has come to laugh at such insane ideas. There is no need to  think of them as savage crimes or secret sins with weighty
W1:190.6 My holy brothers,  think of this awhile—the world you see does nothing. It has no
W1:192.5  at all. The mind without the body cannot make mistakes. It cannot  think that it will die nor be the prey of merciless attack. Anger
W1:192.7  rage and our attack. Our understanding is so limited that what we  think we understand is but confusion born of error. We are lost in
W1:193.15  long, and we would linger here no more. And as we practice, let us  think about all things we saved to settle by ourselves and kept apart
W1:194.8  replacing all your thoughts of sin and evil with the truth of love.  Think you the world could fail to gain thereby and every living
W1:195.9 Today we learn to  think of gratitude in place of anger, malice, and revenge. We have

W1:197.6 Withdraw the gifts you give, and you will  think that what is given you has been withdrawn. But learn to let
W1:197.6  been withdrawn. But learn to let forgiveness take away the sins you  think you see outside yourself, and you can never think the gifts of
W1:197.6  away the sins you think you see outside yourself, and you can never  think the gifts of God are lent but for a little while before He
W1:197.9  extend this Self. All that you do is given unto Him. All that you  think can only be His thoughts, sharing with Him the holy thoughts of

W1:198.8  They could die! How foolish to believe you can attack! How mad to  think that you could be condemned and that the holy Son of God can
W1:R6.11  place you in His charge and let Him teach you what to do and say and  think each time you turn to Him. He will not fail to be available to
W1:219.1  I am not a body. I am free. I am God's Son. Be still, my mind, and  think a moment upon this. And then return to earth without confusion

W2:275.2  to go, to whom to speak, and what to say to him, what thoughts to  think, what words to give the world. The safety that I bring is given
W2:281.1  If ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten what You  think and put my little, meaningless ideas in place of where Your

W2:292.2  us for every problem that we can perceive, for every trial we  think we still must meet.
W2:309.1  will as God created it and as it is. I fear to look within because I  think I made another will which is not true and made it real. Yet it
W2:330.2 Father, Your Son cannot be hurt. And if we  think we suffer, we but fail to know our one Identity we share with

Tx:8.108  for why certain specific forms of healing are not achieved, even  though the state of healing is. It frequently happens that an
Tx:9.12  ego, too, has a plan of forgiveness because you are asking for one,  though not of the right teacher. The ego's plan, of course, makes no

Tx:8.59  merely appear to exist, just as different orders of miracles do.  Thought cannot be made into flesh except by belief, since thought is
Tx:8.59  do. Thought cannot be made into flesh except by belief, since  thought is not physical. Yet thought is communication, for which the
Tx:8.59  made into flesh except by belief, since thought is not physical. Yet  thought is communication, for which the body can be used. This is the
Tx:8.66 You are not limited by the body, and  thought cannot be made flesh. Yet mind can be manifested through the
Tx:8.68  wholeness. The power of wholeness is extension. Do not arrest your  thought in this world, and you will open your mind to creation in God.
Tx:8.87 The Bible enjoins you to be perfect, to heal all errors, to take no  thought of the body as separate, and to accomplish all things in my
Tx:8.89  healing means anything. The re-establishing of meaning in a chaotic  thought system is the only way to heal it. We have said that your
Tx:8.108  same time, however, if he were healed physically, the threat to his  thought system would be considerably more fearful to him than its
Tx:9.43  ask, “Who granted it?” The question is meaningless within the ego's  thought system, because it opens the whole thought system to question.
Tx:9.43  within the ego's thought system, because it opens the whole  thought system to question.
Tx:9.44  therefore, is to deny all knowledge and keep the ego's whole  thought system intact. You cannot retain part of a thought system,
Tx:9.44  the ego's whole thought system intact. You cannot retain part of a  thought system, because it can be questioned only at its foundation.
Tx:9.44  does stand. The Holy Spirit judges against the reality of the ego's  thought system merely because He knows its foundation is not true.
Tx:9.78  of losing this?] Look calmly at the logical conclusion of the ego's  thought system and judge whether its offering is really what you
Tx:10.1  that this must be true. Neither God nor the ego proposes a partial  thought system. Each is internally consistent, but they are
Tx:10.2  premise, which is carefully hidden in the dark cornerstone of its  thought system. And either the ego, which you made, is your father,
Tx:10.2  And either the ego, which you made, is your father, or its whole  thought system will not stand.
Tx:10.3  by extension. The cornerstone of God's creation is you, for His  thought system is light. Remember the rays that are there unseen. The
Tx:10.3  rays that are there unseen. The more you approach the center of His  thought system, the clearer the light becomes. The closer you come to
Tx:10.3  light becomes. The closer you come to [the foundation of] the ego's  thought system, the darker and more obscure becomes the way. Yet even
Tx:10.3  fearlessly with you and hold it up to the foundation of the ego's  thought system bravely. Be willing to judge it with perfect honesty.
Tx:10.5  knowledge, the foundation on which God will help you build again the  thought system which you share with Him. Not one stone you place upon
Tx:10.16  truly want. Every attack is a step away from this, and every healing  thought brings it closer. The Son of God has both Father and Son
Tx:10.17  you accomplish speaks to you of the Fatherhood of God. Every healing  thought which you accept, either from your brother or in your own
Tx:10.17  your own mind, teaches you that you are God's Son. In every hurtful  thought you hold, wherever you perceive it, lies the denial of God's
Tx:10.29  For what is unlike God cannot enter His Mind because it was not His  Thought and therefore does not belong to Him. And your minds must be
Tx:10.39  cannot be dangerous. We are ready to look more closely at the ego's  thought system because together we have the lamp that will dispel it,
Tx:10.54  what it has made real, the ego proceeds to the next step in its  thought system—that error is real, and truth is error.
Tx:10.56  is strong to the insane. For reasoning ends at its beginning, and no  thought system transcends its source. Yet reasoning without meaning
Tx:10.58  for your vigilance. Everything you perceive is a witness to the  thought system you want to be true. Every brother has the power to
Tx:10.70 Every loving  thought that the Son of God ever had is eternal. Those which his mind
Tx:10.76 You do not know the meaning of anything you perceive. Not one  thought you hold is wholly true. The recognition of this is your firm
Tx:10.84  Son of God, who is in no way separate from His Father, whose every  thought is as loving as the Thought of His Father by which He was
Tx:10.84  separate from His Father, whose every thought is as loving as the  Thought of His Father by which He was created. Be not deceived in
Tx:11.3  judgment, it requires no effort at all on your part. Every loving  thought is true. Everything else is an appeal for healing and help.
Tx:11.70  received anything else, it is because you have looked within and  thought you saw the power to give something else within yourself. It

Tx:11.86  laid in the ground and seem to be no more. Not one of them but has  thought that God is cruel.
Tx:12.7  Most of the time you dismiss it, but you do not dismiss the ego's  thought system. You have seen its results and you still lack faith in
Tx:12.16  and concealed as long as they are hidden is the loving mind that  thought it made them in anger. And the pain in this mind is so
Tx:12.17  which you may fear to uncover. For He will heal every little  thought which you have kept to hurt you and cleanse it of its
Tx:13.4  being in the mind of both and knowing that mind is one. He is a  Thought of God, and God has given Him to you because He has no
Tx:13.27  his Father loves him. And it will seem incredible that he has ever  thought his Father loved him not and looked upon him as condemned.
Tx:13.50  have and give and are everything, and all this has been denied, your  thought system is closed off and wholly separated from the truth.
Tx:13.51 Seeing is always outward. Were your thoughts wholly of you, the  thought system which you made would be forever dark. The thoughts
Tx:13.53  is not indirect, but He must introduce the simple truth into a  thought system which has become so twisted and so complex that you
Tx:13.73  that you can make decisions by yourself or for yourself alone. No  thought of God's Son can be separate or isolated in its effects.
Tx:13.87  what is not there has been removed from the disordered mind that  thought it was. This state, and only this, must you attain with God
Tx:14.8  ask for guilt and will experience it. Protect his purity from every  thought that would steal it away and keep it from his sight. Bring
Tx:14.54  they seem to hold, but put them together and the system of  thought which arises from joining them is incoherent and utterly
Tx:14.55  Him means you are not alone and willing to remember it. Take no  thought for yourself, for no thought you hold is for yourself. If you
Tx:14.55  and willing to remember it. Take no thought for yourself, for no  thought you hold is for yourself. If you would remember your Father,
Tx:14.56  love. Neither his mind nor yours holds more than these two orders of  thought.
Tx:15.4  the ego's teaching is without the fear of death. Yet if death were  thought of merely as an end to pain, would it be feared? We have seen
Tx:15.4  would it be feared? We have seen this strange paradox in the ego's  thought system before, but never so clearly as here. For the ego must
Tx:15.12 Whenever you are tempted to be dispirited by the  thought of how long it would take to change your mind so completely,
Tx:15.42 Every  thought you would keep hidden shuts communication off because you
Tx:15.42  being the acceptance of the single will that governs all  thought.
Tx:15.53  have no need to look without and snatch it guiltily from where you  thought it was.
Tx:15.60  the idea of love in you and unite this idea with the mind that  thought it and could not relinquish it. By holding it within itself,
Tx:15.96  fact that sacrifice gets nothing. Sacrifice is so essential to your  thought system that salvation apart from sacrifice means nothing to
Tx:15.99  than look at it. For if God would demand total sacrifice of you, you  thought it safer to project Him outward and away from you and not be
Tx:15.101  of safety. Do not try longer to keep apart your thoughts and the  Thought that has been given you. When they are brought together and
Tx:15.102  in Who is there already, by recognizing that His Host is One, and no  thought alien to His Oneness can abide with Him there. Love must be
Tx:16.3  Step gently aside and let the healing be done for you. Keep but one  thought in mind and do not lose sight of it, however tempted you may
Tx:16.21  will consider what you have taught and how alien it is to what you  thought you knew, you will be compelled to recognize that your
Tx:16.21  be compelled to recognize that your Teacher came from beyond your  thought system and so could look upon it fairly and perceive it was
Tx:16.21  untrue. And He must have done so from the basis of a very different  thought system and one with nothing in common with yours. For
Tx:16.22  yourself accordingly. Cause and effect are very clear in the ego's  thought system because all your learning has been directed towards
Tx:16.52  religion of the separation and of the total context in which it is  thought to occur. The central theme in its litany to sacrifice is
Tx:16.57  Separation is only the decision not to know yourself. Its whole  thought system is a carefully contrived learning experience designed
Tx:16.66  relationship is really part of you. And you cannot keep part of the  thought system which taught you it was real and understand the
Tx:16.66  the thought system which taught you it was real and understand the  Thought that really knows what you are. You have allowed the Thought
Tx:16.66  the Thought that really knows what you are. You have allowed the  Thought of your reality to enter your minds, and because you invited
Tx:17.25  the same. For you can never choose except between God and the ego.  Thought systems are but true or false, and all their attributes come
Tx:17.31  means if you would be restored to sanity. The insane protect their  thought systems, but they do so insanely. And all their defenses are
Tx:17.32 You have but little difficulty now in realizing that the  thought system which the special relationship protects is but a
Tx:17.32  have looked at it far closer than at many other aspects of the ego's  thought system which you have been more willing to let go. While this
Tx:17.33  operates by giving gifts, and the gift is always a miniature of the  thought system the defense protects, set in a golden frame. The frame
Tx:17.34  imposing and deceptive frame of all the defenses the ego uses. Its  thought system is offered here, surrounded by a frame so heavy and so
Tx:17.35  the gift. Be not deceived by the most superficial aspects of this  thought system, for these aspects enclose the whole, complete in
Tx:17.37  frame, the picture is seen as what it represents. For as the whole  thought system of the ego lies in its gifts, so the whole of Heaven
Tx:17.40  see there, you will recognize as what it is—a picture of what you  thought was real and nothing more. For beyond this picture, you will
Tx:17.41  not a picture but a reality. This is no figured representation of a  thought system, but the Thought Itself. What it represents is there.
Tx:17.41  This is no figured representation of a thought system, but the  Thought Itself. What it represents is there. The frame fades gently,
Tx:17.50  to remind you of all the ways you once sought for satisfaction and  thought you found it. Forget not now the misery you really found, and
Tx:17.66 The  thought of bodies is the sign of faithlessness, for bodies cannot
Tx:18.10  you, so you are. You are not joined together in illusions but in the  Thought so holy and so perfect that illusions cannot remain to darken
Tx:18.40  has gone. It never happened in reality. Only in your minds, which  thought it did, is its undoing needful.
Tx:18.60  The “something” can be anything and anywhere—a sound, a sight, a  thought, a memory, and even a general idea without specific
Tx:18.65  now. Its whole attraction is imaginary and therefore must be  thought of in the past or in the future.
Tx:18.73  itself as the ocean. Think how alone and frightened is this little  thought, this infinitesimal illusion, holding itself apart against
Tx:18.75  seem to be. Each body seems to house a separate mind, a disconnected  thought living alone and in no way joined to the Thought by which it
Tx:18.75  a disconnected thought living alone and in no way joined to the  Thought by which it was created. Each tiny fragment seems to be
Tx:18.79 The  Thought of God surrounds your little kingdom, waiting at the barrier
Tx:18.84  its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part of yourself, the little  thought that seems split off and separate, which the Holy Spirit
Tx:18.84  in God's keeping and needs no guide. Yet this wild and delusional  thought needs help because in its delusions it thinks it is the Son
Tx:18.89  heavy and opaque, impenetrable, and a real foundation for the ego's  thought system. Its thinness and transparency are not apparent until
Tx:18.93  washed in the waters of forgiveness, and cleansed of every evil  thought you had laid upon it. Here there is no attack upon the Son of
Tx:19.6  impossible to attain, for part of it is sought through the body,  thought of as a means for seeking out reality through attack, while
Tx:19.6  This will not harm the body, but it will keep the delusional  thought system in the mind.
Tx:19.8  are always connected, as is truth. Each is united, a complete  thought system, but totally disconnected to each other. Where there
Tx:19.16  being kept in prison or limited in any way except by the mind that  thought it. For it remains joined to its source, which is its jailor
Tx:19.21  indefensible to the ego. The idea of sin is wholly sacrosanct to its  thought system and quite unapproachable except through reverence and
Tx:19.79  that an idea leaves not its source. And death is the result of the  thought we call the ego as surely as life is the result of the
Tx:19.79  the thought we call the ego as surely as life is the result of the  Thought of God.
Tx:19.86  of salvation is carefully guarded by love, preserved from every  thought that would attack it and quietly made ready to fulfill the
Tx:19.103  Christ Who stands beside you. How holy and how beautiful He is! You  thought He sinned because you cast the veil of sin upon Him to hide
Tx:20.10  and hear this carefully, nor think it but a dream—a careless  thought to play with or a toy you would pick up from time to time and
Tx:20.23  asked, and it is to his answer that you would adjust. This one wild  thought, fierce in its arrogance and yet so tiny and so meaningless
Tx:20.36  difficulty but will melt away before you reach it. You need take  thought for nothing, careless of everything except the only purpose
Tx:21.3  did not recognize, or walk unharmed through open doorways which they  thought were closed. And so it is with you. You do not see. Your cues
Tx:21.3  not recognize, but fail to be aware you can go through the doors you  thought were closed but which stand open before unseeing eyes,
Tx:21.22  happen of itself; simply to recognize again the presence of what you  thought you gave away.
Tx:21.71  to attack his brother or turn upon himself as to remember they  thought they had a common cause.
Tx:21.84  Desire what you will, and you will look on it and think it real. No  thought but has the power to release or kill. And none can leave the
Tx:21.85  final proof he valued the inconstant more than constancy. Surely he  thought he wanted happiness. Yet he did not desire it because it was
Tx:22.11  you can understand. He is not nurtured by the “something else” you  thought was you. He was not given there, nor was received by anything
Tx:22.14  that instant brought—the recognition that the “something else” you  thought was you is an illusion. And truth came instantly to show you
Tx:22.29 The introduction of reason into the ego's  thought system is the beginning of its undoing. For reason and the
Tx:22.30  correction. For reason sees through errors, telling you what you  thought was real is not. Reason can see the difference between sin
Tx:22.30  because it wants correction. Therefore, it tells you what you  thought was uncorrectable can be corrected, and thus it must have
Tx:22.50  and so easily that you must be convinced, in spite of what you  thought it was, that it is nothing. If you forgive each other, this
Tx:22.58  is released as he beholds his savior in place of the attacker who he  thought was there. Through this releasing is the world released. This
Tx:22.64  and His Son. From loving minds there is no separation. And every  thought in one brings gladness to the other because they are the
Tx:22.64  because they are the same. Joy is unlimited because each shining  thought of love extends its being and creates more of itself. There
Tx:22.64  more of itself. There is no difference anywhere in it, for every  thought is like itself.
Tx:23.6  forgiveness will the world sparkle and shine and everything you once  thought sinful now will be reinterpreted as part of Heaven. How
Tx:23.39  that it seems to be a logical conclusion—a valid step in ordered  thought. The steps to chaos do follow neatly from their starting
Tx:23.41  him still. For no one thinks of murder and escapes the guilt the  thought entails. If the intent is death, what matter the form it
Tx:24.19  but only friend to what is real in you. Not one attack you  thought you made on him has taken from him the gift that God would
Tx:24.31  of peace in perfect safety and without the heat and malice of one  thought of specialness to mar your rest. Forgive the Holy One the
Tx:24.39  beheld some sin within your brother and have rejoiced at what you  thought was there. Your specialness seemed safe because of it. And
Tx:24.45  and blessing all the way. His love for God replaces all the fear you  thought you saw within yourself. His holiness shows you Himself in
Tx:24.51  has He failed to lay before you lovingly as yours forever. And no  thought within His Mind is absent from your own. It is His Will you
Tx:24.59  fully justified, you have pursued this goal with vigilance you never  thought to yield and effort that you never thought to cease. And all
Tx:24.59  with vigilance you never thought to yield and effort that you never  thought to cease. And all this grim determination was for this—you
Tx:24.63  returns to you. All of the love and care, the strong protection, the  thought by day and night, the deep concern, the powerful conviction
Tx:24.68  to anyone who still retains one unlearned lesson in his memory, one  thought with purpose still uncertain, or one wish with a divided aim.
Tx:25.1  not, that He may call to them to come to Him and see Him where they  thought their bodies were. Then will their bodies melt away that they
Tx:25.18  masterpiece. Look at its loveliness, and understand the Mind that  thought it, not in flesh and bones, but in a frame as lovely as
Tx:25.28  of what is given him, then will he see each situation that he  thought before was means to justify his anger turned to an event
Tx:25.34  and light. And in this widening world of light, the darkness they  thought was there is pushed away until it is but distant shadows, far
Tx:25.52  that either God is mad or is this world a place of madness. Not one  Thought of His makes any sense at all within this world. And nothing
Tx:25.52  the truth. If one belief so deeply valued here were true, then every  Thought God ever had is an illusion. And if but one Thought of His is
Tx:25.52  true, then every Thought God ever had is an illusion. And if but one  Thought of His is true, then all beliefs the world gives any meaning
Tx:25.53  Son do not think differently. And it is the agreement of their  thought that makes the Son a co-creator with the mind Whose Thought
Tx:25.53  of their thought that makes the Son a co-creator with the mind Whose  Thought created him. And if he chooses to believe one thought opposed
Tx:25.53  the mind Whose Thought created him. And if he chooses to believe one  thought opposed to truth, he has decided he is not his Father's Son
Tx:25.57  he has seen before and recognizes as the world in which he lives and  thought he understood before.
Tx:26.19  that cannot be immediately grasped. There is a borderland of  thought which stands between this world and Heaven. It is not a
Tx:26.19  This borderland is just beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every  thought made pure and wholly simple. Here is sin denied and
Tx:26.35 Yet in each unforgiving act or  thought, in every judgment, and in all belief in sin, is that one
Tx:26.53  the joy this world denies to every aspect of God's Son where sin was  thought to rule. Perhaps you do not see the role forgiveness plays in
Tx:26.72  effects without a cause? And who could fear effects unless he  thought they had been caused and judged disastrous now? Belief in sin
Tx:27.7  for this world. Its only purpose is to prove guilt real. No worldly  thought or act or feeling has a motivation other than this one. These
Tx:27.25  self perception must extend, and do not overlook the fact that every  thought extends because that is its purpose, being what it really is.
Tx:27.30  you, for he stands for what is meaningless. He represents a double  thought, where half is canceled out by the remaining half. Yet even
Tx:27.31  out because it symbolized a contradiction which canceled out the  thought it represents. And thus the picture has no cause at all. Who
Tx:27.49  release. And happily your brother will perceive the many friends he  thought were enemies.
Tx:27.51 Your healing will extend and will be brought to problems that you  thought were not your own. And it will also be apparent that your
Tx:27.82  the Son of God remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting did the  thought become a serious idea and possible of both accomplishment and
Tx:27.83  ending at its cause. The world you see depicts exactly what you  thought you did. Except that now you think that what you did is being
Tx:27.83  think that what you did is being done to you. The guilt for what you  thought is being placed outside yourself and on a guilty world which
Tx:28.1  long ago. The thoughts that made it are no longer in the mind that  thought of them and loved them for a little while. The miracle but
Tx:28.8  in your mind. Its consequences will indeed seem new because you  thought that you remembered not their Cause. Yet was It never absent
Tx:28.26  lesson it was sent to teach. The lesson is the mind was sick that  thought the body could be sick; projecting out its guilt caused
Tx:29.3  on which you both agreed to keep intact. And violating this was  thought to be a breach of treaty not to be allowed.
Tx:29.18  a thing with power in itself. As something, it can be perceived and  thought to feel and act and hold you in its grasp as prisoner to
Tx:29.32  is there. The peace in you can but be found in him. And every  thought of love you offer him but brings you nearer to your wakening
Tx:29.35  goal that lies beyond forgiveness, you would not keep hold on any  thought, however light the touch of evil on it may appear to be. For
Tx:29.54  thus perceived as real and seen outside the mind. Yet it is still a  thought and cannot leave the mind that is its source. Nor is its form
Tx:29.55  your brother from yourself. A dark and fearful purpose, yet a  thought without the power to change one blade of grass from something
Tx:29.65  are childish dreams. The toys have turned against the child who  thought he made them real. Yet can a dream attack? Or can a toy grow
Tx:30.1  fear. They are not new to you, but they are more ideas than rules of  thought to you as yet. So now we need to practice them awhile, until
Tx:30.33  created with your glad consent, as you would have it be. And not one  Thought that God has ever had but waited for your blessing to be
Tx:30.42  form that would content you not, but in the whole completely lovely  Thought God holds of you.
Tx:30.43  changelessly. For thoughts endure as long as does the mind that  thought of them. And in the Mind of God there is no ending nor a time
Tx:30.43  thoughts you think are in your mind, as you are in the mind Which  thought of you. And so there are no separate parts in what exists
Tx:30.44  you are sometimes aware of them and sometimes not. An unremembered  thought is born again to you when it returns to your awareness. Yet
Tx:30.44  you forgot it. It was always there, but you were unaware of it. The  Thought God holds of you is perfectly unchanged by your forgetting.
Tx:30.45  They await not birth. They wait for welcome and remembering. The  Thought God holds of you is like a star, unchangeable in an eternal
Tx:30.47 Beyond all idols is the  Thought God holds of you. Completely unaffected by the turmoil and
Tx:30.47  the myriad of forms that fear can take; quite undisturbed, the  Thought God holds of you remains exactly as it always was. Surrounded
Tx:30.47  of its changelessness and of its rest in its eternal home, the  Thought God holds of you has never left the mind of its Creator Whom
Tx:30.48 Where could the  Thought God holds of you exist but where you are? Is your reality a
Tx:30.48  but one. Nor can you be aware of more than one. An idol or the  Thought God holds of you is your reality. Forget not, then, that
Tx:30.50  his “control” of what surrounds him. And he is afraid because he  thought the rules protected him. Now must he learn the boxes and the
Tx:30.50  and unsafe. He was mistaken. He misunderstood what made him safe and  thought that it had left.
Tx:30.51  seems to break the rules you set for it. It never was the thing you  thought. It must appear to break your rules for safety, since the
Tx:30.58 Here, it is  thought that understanding is acquired by attack. There, it is clear
Tx:30.69  lies in those whose hands are joined. Until they joined, they  thought He was their enemy. But when they joined and shared a
Tx:30.86  purpose for the one who gains and him who loses. There could be no  thought of sacrifice apart from this idea. And it is this idea of
Tx:30.87  They have no purpose. And what they are for cannot be seen. In any  thought of loss, there is no meaning. No one has agreed with you on
Tx:30.89  you are deceived. For everything you see will change, and yet you  thought it real before, and now you think it real again. Reality is
Tx:31.20 Then let us wait an instant and be still, forgetting everything we  thought we heard; remembering how much we do not know. This brother
Tx:31.22 Be very still an instant. Come without all  thought of what you ever learned before and put aside all images you
Tx:31.22  opposition or intent. There will be no attack upon the things you  thought were precious and in need of care. There will be no assault
Tx:31.49  with hatred and distortions born of fear. What is a concept but a  thought to which its maker gives a meaning of his own? Concepts
Tx:31.49  in its shadow, growing in its ways, and finally “maturing” in its  thought. They are ideas of idols painted with the brushes of the
W1:4.3  your thoughts for application of the idea for today, identify each  thought by the central figure or event it contains. For example:
W1:4.4 This  thought about _____ does not mean anything. It is like the things I
W1:4.5 You can also use the idea for a particular  thought which you recognize as harmful. This practice is useful, but
W1:6.3  as before, and the application of the idea to each upsetting  thought uncovered in the search.
W1:8.2 The only wholly true  thought one can hold about the past is that it is not here. To think
W1:8.4  is easier to recognize that, no matter how vividly you may picture a  thought, you are not seeing anything. With as little investment as
W1:10.7 This  thought about _____ does not mean anything. That thought about _____
W1:10.7 This thought about _____ does not mean anything. That  thought about _____ does not mean anything.
W1:10.8 Today's idea can obviously serve for any  thought that distresses you at any time. In addition, five practice
W1:13.8  may take, remind yourself that you are really afraid of such a  thought because of the “vengeance” of the “enemy.” You are not
W1:16.2  to the perception of a whole world can hardly be called idle. Every  thought you have contributes to truth or to illusion; either it
W1:16.3  never being idle, salvation requires that you recognize that every  thought you have brings either peace or war, either love or fear. A
W1:16.3  love or fear. A neutral result is impossible because a neutral  thought is impossible. There is such a temptation to dismiss fear
W1:16.4  so, with eyes closed, and actively seek not to overlook any “little”  thought which tends to elude the search. This is quite difficult
W1:16.4  it is still hard for you not to make artificial distinctions. Every  thought that occurs to you, regardless of the quality which you
W1:16.6 This  thought about _____ is not a neutral thought. That thought about
W1:16.6 This thought about _____ is not a neutral  thought. That thought about _____ is not a neutral thought.
W1:16.6 This thought about _____ is not a neutral thought. That  thought about _____ is not a neutral thought.
W1:16.6  is not a neutral thought. That thought about _____ is not a neutral  thought.

W1:17.1  things because you have no neutral thoughts. It is always the  thought that comes first, despite the temptation to believe that it
W1:19.4 I am not alone in experiencing the effects of this  thought about ___.

W1:42.7 Any  thought that is clearly related to the idea is suitable. You may, in

W1:42.9  thoughts together and teaching you that we are studying a unified  thought system in which nothing is lacking that is needed, and
W1:43.10 Or any  thought related more or less directly to today's idea is suitable.

W1:54.3  what I think. If I did not think, I would not exist, because life is  thought. Let me look on the world I see as the representation of my

W1:61.7  the idea to yourself if your mind wanders away from the central  thought.
W1:63.3  We will begin the day by acknowledging it and close the day with the  thought of it in our awareness. And throughout the day, we will
W1:65.6  thoughts related to the idea for today. Rather, try to uncover each  thought that arises which would interfere with it. Note each one as
W1:65.7 This  thought reflects a goal that is preventing me from accepting my only
W1:68.11  a quick application of today's idea in this form, whenever any  thought of grievance arises against anyone, physically present or not:

W1:69.8  that you are at last joining your will to God's. Try to keep the  thought clearly in mind that what you undertake with God must
W1:74.1 The idea for today can be regarded as the central  thought toward which all our exercises are directed. God's is the
W1:75.15  of the real world which has come to replace the unforgiven world you  thought was real.
W1:76.11 Hear Him Who tells you this, and realize how foolish are the laws you  thought upheld the world you thought you saw. Then listen further. He
W1:76.11  realize how foolish are the laws you thought upheld the world you  thought you saw. Then listen further. He will tell you more. About
W1:78.11  their place. The world and Heaven join in thanking you, for not one  thought of God but must rejoice as you are saved and all the world
W1:91.1  repeating and frequent repeating. It is a central idea in your new  thought system and the perception which it produces. The miracle is
W1:92.2  the body's brain can think. If you but understood the nature of  thought, you could but laugh at this insane idea. It is as if you
W1:92.2  of thought, you could but laugh at this insane idea. It is as if you  thought you held the match that lights the sun and gives it all its
W1:93.7 Salvation requires the acceptance of but one  thought—you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself.
W1:94.1  one statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one  thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. You are as
W1:94.11  a giant stride toward your release and a milestone in learning the  thought system which this course sets forth.
W1:96.8  in your mind and offers it the way to peace. Salvation is a  thought you share with God, because His Voice accepted it for you and
W1:96.9 We will attempt today to find this  thought, whose presence in your mind is guaranteed by Him Who speaks
W1:99.1  or different from the Will of God. Thus do both terms imply the  thought of the impossible which has occurred, resulting in a state of
W1:99.4 What joins the separated mind and thoughts with Mind and  thought which are forever one? What plan could hold the truth
W1:99.4  they are undone without attack and with no touch of pain? What but a  thought of God could be this plan by which the never done is
W1:99.6 This is the  thought which brings illusions to the truth, and sees them as
W1:99.6  appearances behind which is the changeless and the sure. This is the  thought which saves and which forgives, because it lays no faith in
W1:99.6  in what is not created by the only Source it knows. This is the  thought whose function is to save by giving you its function as your
W1:99.9  you. All the world of pain is not His Will. Forgive yourself the  thought He wanted this for you. Then let the thought with which He
W1:99.9  Forgive yourself the thought He wanted this for you. Then let the  thought with which He has replaced all your mistakes enter the
W1:99.9  all your mistakes enter the darkened places of your mind which  thought the thoughts that never were His Will.
W1:99.11 Practice His  thought today, and let His Light seek out and lighten up all darkened
W1:100.8 Begin the exercises with the  thought today's idea contains. Then realize your part is to be happy.
W1:100.10  upon in place of Him Who waits that you may look on Him? What little  thought has power to hold you back? What foolish goal can keep you
W1:101.6 There is no sin. We practice with this  thought as often as we can today because it is the basis for today's
W1:104.1 Today's idea continues with the  thought that joy and peace are not but idle dreams. They are your
W1:107.10  made of flesh and blood and bone but were created by the self-same  thought which gave the gift of life to Him as well. He is your
W1:108.1  which is wholly true? Even that one will disappear because the  Thought behind it will appear instead, to take its place. And now we
W1:108.4 Here are both giving and receiving seen as different aspects of one  Thought Whose truth does not depend on which is seen as first, nor
W1:108.4  place. Here it is understood that both occur together, that the  thought remain complete. And in this understanding is the base on
W1:108.4  are perceived from the same frame of reference which unifies this  thought.
W1:108.5 One  Thought, completely unified, will serve to unify all thought. This is
W1:108.5 One Thought, completely unified, will serve to unify all  thought. This is the same as saying one correction will suffice for
W1:108.6  proved it always works in every circumstance where it is tried, the  thought behind it can be generalized to other areas of doubt and
W1:108.6  vision. And from there it will extend and finally arrive at the one  thought Which underlies them all.
W1:109.1  although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow. And we have the  thought that will answer our asking with what we request.
W1:109.2 “I rest in God.” This  thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness,
W1:109.2  and the safety and the happiness you seek. “I rest in God.” This  thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision
W1:109.2  who ever came and yet will come to linger for a while. Here is the  thought in which the Son of God is born again, to recognize himself.
W1:109.3 “I rest in God.” Completely undismayed this  thought will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and
W1:109.11  we give today. We give to those unborn and those passed by, to every  Thought of God, and to the Mind in Which these Thoughts were born and
W1:110.1 We will repeat today's idea from time to time. For this one  thought would be enough to save you and the world if you believed
W1:110.3  this has not occurred if you remain as God created you. You need no  thought but just this one to let redemption come to light the world
W1:110.4 In this one  thought is all the past undone; the present saved to quietly extend
W1:R3.11  silence and in peace. Then turn to other things, but try to keep the  thought with you and let it serve to help you keep your peace
W1:R3.13 Each day's review assignment will conclude with a restatement of the  thought to use each hour and the one to be applied on each half hour
W1:123.1  We have come to gentler pathways and to smoother roads. There is no  thought of turning back and no implacable resistance to the truth. A
W1:123.2  in the dark alone. Be grateful He has saved you from the self you  thought you made to take the place of Him and His creation. Give Him
W1:124.1  with God and with the universe, we go our way rejoicing, with the  thought that God Himself goes everywhere with us.
W1:124.6  can ever be denied to those who know that they are one with God. No  thought of theirs but has the power to heal all forms of suffering in
W1:124.8  Sometime today, whenever it seems best, devote a half an hour to the  thought that you are one with God. This is our first attempt at an
W1:124.10  within your mind and waiting to be found. You will remember then the  thought to which you gave this half an hour, thankfully aware no time
W1:126.1  alien to the ego and the thinking of the world, is crucial to the  thought reversal which this course will bring about. If you believed
W1:126.9  twice today to the attempt to understand today's idea. It is the  thought by which forgiveness takes its proper place in your
W1:126.9  forgiveness takes its proper place in your priorities. It is the  thought that will release your mind from every bar to what
W1:127.10  its blessing upon all who come to learn to cast aside the world they  thought was made in hate to be love's enemy. Now are they all made
W1:128.1  way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy. Believe this  thought, and you are saved from years of misery, from countless
W1:128.1  that turn to bitter ashes of despair. No one but must accept this  thought as true, if he would leave this world behind and soar beyond
W1:128.5 Today we practice letting go all  thought of values we have given to the world. We leave it free of
W1:129.1 This is the  thought which follows from the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot
W1:129.2  world. Perhaps you will concede there is no loss in letting go all  thought of value here. The world you see is merciless indeed,
W1:130.7  today in thanks and gratitude we gladly give five minutes to the  thought which ends all compromise and doubt and go beyond them all as
W1:131.4  free to choose a goal that lies beyond the world and every worldly  thought and one which comes to you from an idea relinquished yet
W1:131.13 I ask to see a different world and think a different kind of  thought from those I made. The world I seek I did not make alone. The
W1:132.2  his mind, and all his thoughts change with it. Now the source of  thought has shifted, for to change your mind means you have changed
W1:132.2  means you have changed the source of all ideas you think or ever  thought or yet will think.
W1:132.3 You free the past from what you  thought before. You free the future from all ancient thoughts of
W1:132.4  beliefs. Death strikes it everywhere because you hold the bitter  thought of death within your mind. The world is nothing in itself.
W1:132.7 There is no world! This is the central  thought the course attempts to teach. Not everyone is ready to accept
W1:132.9  your own imagining, then you can loose it from all things you ever  thought it was by merely changing all the thoughts that gave it these
W1:132.11  not their source, and you maintain the world within your mind in  thought.
W1:132.12  God's creation is unlike the world in every way. And as it was His  thought by which you were created, so it is your thoughts which made
W1:132.14 There is no world because it is a  thought apart from God and made to separate the Father and the Son
W1:132.17 I who remain as God created me would loose the world from all I  thought it was. For I am real because the world is not, and I would
W1:132.21 I loose the world from all I  thought it was and choose my own reality instead.
W1:133.17  difficult decisions facing you, be quick to answer with this simple  thought:
W1:134.11  He has been gently wakened from his dream by understanding what he  thought he saw was never there. And now he cannot feel that all
W1:134.12  fight to save himself. He does not have to kill the dragons which he  thought pursued him. Nor need he erect the heavy walls of stone and
W1:134.12  him. Nor need he erect the heavy walls of stone and iron doors he  thought would make him safe. He can remove the ponderous and useless
W1:134.13  nor provide a guide to teach you its beneficence. There is no  thought in all the world which leads to any understanding of the laws
W1:134.13  which leads to any understanding of the laws it follows nor the  thought which it reflects. It is as alien to the world as is your own
W1:134.17  from all ideas of sin. Briefly consider all the evil things you  thought of him, and each time ask yourself “Would I condemn myself
W1:135.1 Who would defend himself unless he  thought he was attacked, that the attack is real, and that his own

W1:135.25  to make, you will be told of them. They may not be the plans you  thought were needed nor indeed the answers to the problems which you
W1:135.25  thought were needed nor indeed the answers to the problems which you  thought confronted you. But they are answers to another kind of
W1:135.26  the light and joy of simple truth, you will but wonder why you ever  thought that you must be defended from release. Heaven asks nothing.
W1:136.9  it. Thus is your “true” identity preserved and the strange, haunting  thought that you might be something beyond this little pile of dust
W1:136.12  His Will. The universe remains unheeding of the laws by which you  thought to govern it. And Heaven has not bowed to hell, nor life to
W1:137.1 Today's idea remains the central  thought on which salvation rests. For healing is the opposite of all
W1:137.16  every hour of the day slips by, remembering our function with this  thought:
W1:140.6 This is the  thought that cures. It does not make distinctions among unrealities.
W1:140.6  to truth which cannot fail to heal and heal forever. It is not a  thought which judges an illusion by its size, its seeming gravity, or
W1:R4.4  the truth of what you are and what your Father is. It is this  thought by which the Father gave creation to the Son, establishing
W1:R4.4  the Son, establishing the Son as co-creator with Himself. It is this  thought which fully guarantees salvation to the Son. For in his mind
W1:R4.4  dwell but those his Father shares. Lack of forgiveness blocks this  thought from his awareness. Yet it is forever true.
W1:R4.7  mind and clear it of all thoughts that would deceive, and let this  thought alone engage it fully and remove the rest:
W1:R4.9 Five minutes with this  thought will be enough to set the day along the lines which God
W1:R4.11 Each hour of the day bring to your mind the  thought with which the day began and spend a quiet moment with it.
W1:R4.12  practicing, as we review, we close as we began, repeating first the  thought that made the day a special time of blessing and of happiness
W1:146.2 [132] I loose the world from all I  thought it was.
W1:151.9  for He bears witness to your beautiful creation and the Mind Whose  thought created your reality. What can the body mean to Him Who knows
W1:151.13  We introduce these times with but a single, slow repeating of the  thought with which the day begins. And then we watch our thoughts,
W1:151.13  to Him Who sees the elements of truth in them. Let Him evaluate each  thought that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give
W1:151.14  God wills His Son as proof of His eternal Love. And as each  thought is thus transformed, it takes on healing power from the Mind
W1:151.14  of fantasy are gone, and what remains is unified into a perfect  thought that offers its perfection everywhere.
W1:152.3  Truth cannot have an opposite. This cannot be too often said and  thought about. For if what is not true is true as well as what is
W1:153.9  we need no defense because we are created unassailable, without all  thought or wish or dream in which attack has any meaning. Now we
W1:153.12 Salvation can be  thought of as a game that happy children play. It was designed by One
W1:153.15  a while. We will begin each day by giving our attention to the daily  thought as long as possible. Five minutes now becomes the least we
W1:155.14  name and His own, which are the same, we practice gladly with this  thought today:
W1:156.1 Today's idea but states the simple truth that makes the  thought of sin impossible. It promises there is no cause for guilt,
W1:156.1  being causeless it does not exist. It follows surely from the basic  thought so often mentioned in the text—ideas leave not their
W1:156.6  is it gone, because its quaint absurdity is seen. It is a foolish  thought, a silly dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who
W1:156.7 Yet you have wasted many, many years on just this foolish  thought. The past is gone with all its fantasies. They keep you bound
W1:160.3  No one would let himself be dispossessed so needlessly unless he  thought there was another home more suited to his tastes.
W1:160.5  I leave my home to one more like me than myself and give him all I  thought belonged to me.” Now is he exiled of necessity, not knowing
W1:160.6  his home his Self remains. It asked no stranger in and took no alien  thought to be Itself. And It will call Its own unto Itself, in
W1:161.6 Bodies attack but minds do not. This  thought is surely reminiscent of our text, where it is often
W1:162.1 This single  thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the world. From time to
W1:162.2  honored as it is. There is no dream these words will not dispel, no  thought of sin, and no illusion that the dream contains that will not
W1:163.1 Death is a  thought which takes on many forms, often unrecognized. It may appear
W1:163.2  the guilty, and the lord of all illusions and deceptions, does the  thought of death seem mighty. For it seems to hold all living things
W1:163.6  position which we must accept if we be sane; what contradicts one  thought entirely cannot be true unless its opposite is proven false.
W1:164.4  heart and have not lost. There is a sense of holiness in you the  thought of sin has never touched. All this today you will remember.
W1:165.2 The  Thought of God created you. It left you not, nor have you ever been
W1:165.2  with It, and everything is one with you because It left you not. The  Thought of God protects you, cares for you, makes soft your resting
W1:165.2  love. Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind because the  Thought of God has left you not and still abides with you.
W1:165.5  of Christ; your mind has come to lay aside denial and accept the  Thought of God as its inheritance.
W1:165.7  justified. Your doubts are meaningless, for God is certain. And the  Thought of Him is never absent. Sureness must abide within you who
W1:165.7  beyond our every doubt. His love remains beyond our every fear. The  thought of Him is still beyond all dreams and in our minds according
W1:166.9  feel that you are not alone. You even think the miserable self you  thought was you may not be your identity. Perhaps God's Word is truer
W1:166.11  “It is not so.” He points to all the gifts you have each time the  thought of poverty oppresses you and speaks of His companionship when
W1:167.3  Yet it is but an idea, irrelevant to what is seen as physical. A  thought is in the mind. It can be then applied as mind directs it.
W1:167.4 Death is the  thought that you are separate from your Creator. It is the belief
W1:167.8  gives not nor make conditions which He does not share with them. The  thought of death is not the opposite to thoughts of life. Forever
W1:167.10  we let imagined opposites to life abide even an instant where the  thought of life eternal has been set by God Himself.
W1:169.6  and future cannot be conceived. It lies beyond salvation—past all  thought of time, forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ. The Son of
W1:169.11  end in time, for grace foreshadows Heaven yet does not replace the  thought of time but for a little while. The interval suffices. It is
W1:170.4  that you attack. Yet your defense sets up an enemy within—an alien  thought at war with you, depriving you of peace, splitting your mind
W1:170.10  fear of God Himself. Here is the basic premise which enthrones the  thought of fear as god. For fear is loved by those who worship it,
W1:R5.4 This is the  thought which should precede the thoughts that we review. Each one
W1:R5.4  thoughts that we review. Each one but clarifies some aspect of this  thought or helps it be more meaningful, more personal and true, and
W1:R5.7  us, and teach us, step by step, how to return to the eternal Self we  thought we lost.
W1:R5.14  this we start and end each period of practice time. And with this  thought we sleep, to waken once again with these same words upon our
W1:R5.14  again with these same words upon our lips to greet another day. No  thought that we review but we surround with it and use the thoughts
W1:178.2 [165] Let not my mind deny the  thought of God. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:181.4  And you have also been dismayed by the depressing and restricting  thought that, even if you should succeed, you will inevitably lose
W1:183.2  out their wings to keep you safe and shelter you from every worldly  thought that would intrude upon your holiness.
W1:183.7  we say today's idea but once. And then God's Name becomes our only  thought, our only word, the only thing that occupies our minds, the
W1:183.11  still, and will forever give. He calls on Him to let all things he  thought he made be nameless now, and in their place the holy Name of
W1:184.9  do not stand for anything at all, and in your practicing, it is this  thought that will release you from them. They become but means by
W1:186.1  will one day take all arrogance away from every mind. Here is the  thought of true humility which holds no function as your own but that
W1:187.2  you strengthen them in your own mind. Perhaps the form in which the  thought seems to appear is changed in giving. Yet it must return to
W1:187.4  them away, and you are sure that you will never lose them. What you  thought you did not have is thereby proven yours. Yet value not its
W1:187.4  however much you try to keep it safe. No form endures. It is the  thought behind the form of things that lives unchangeable.
W1:187.5 Give gladly. You can only gain thereby. The  thought remains and grows in strength as it is reinforced by giving.
W1:187.5  as well. And both must gain in this exchange, for each will have the  thought in form most helpful to him. What he seems to lose is always
W1:187.7  recognized must disappear. Accept not suffering, and you remove the  thought of suffering. Your blessing lies on everyone who suffers when
W1:187.7  who suffers when you choose to see all suffering as what it is. The  thought of sacrifice gives rise to all the forms that suffering
W1:187.8  There is no place for sacrifice in what has any value. If the  thought occurs, its very presence proves that error has arisen and
W1:187.9  afraid to look. The blessedness you will behold will take away all  thought of form and leave instead the perfect gift forever there,
W1:187.10 Now are we one in  thought, for fear has gone. And here, before the altar to one God,
W1:187.10  here, before the altar to one God, one Father, one Creator and one  thought, we stand together as one Son of God. Not separate from Him
W1:188.9  life. We will forgive them all, absolving all the world of what we  thought it did to us. For it is we who make the world as we would
W1:189.1  to be kept hidden from your sight. This light is a reflection of the  thought we practice now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see
W1:189.7  it thinks is either true or false or good or bad, of every  thought it judges worthy and all the ideas of which it is ashamed.
W1:189.7  of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one  thought the past has taught nor one belief you ever learned before
W1:190.8 Pain is the  thought of evil taking form and working havoc in your holy mind. Pain
W1:191.3  escape the madness which induced this weird, unnatural, and ghostly  thought which mocks creation and which laughs at God. Deny your own
W1:191.4  you. All else but this one thing is folly to believe. In this one  thought is everything set free. In this one truth are all illusions
W1:191.6 One holy  thought like this, and you are free: you are the holy Son of God
W1:191.6  are free: you are the holy Son of God Himself. And with this holy  thought, you learn as well that you have freed the world. You have no
W1:191.9 And in that  thought is everything you look on wholly changed.
W1:193.5  His loving kindness to the Son He loves. Each lesson has a central  thought, the same in all of them. The form alone is changed, with
W1:193.13  lessons God would have you learn. He would not leave an unforgiving  thought without correction nor one thorn or nail to hurt His sacred
W1:194.6  effort as you can to make it be a part of you. As it becomes a  thought which rules your mind, a habit in your problem-solving
W1:194.9  we forget, we will be gently reassured. If we accept an unforgiving  thought, it will be soon replaced by love's reflection. And if we are
W1:195.2  follow in the way He sets before them to escape a prison that they  thought contained no door to the deliverance they now perceive.
W1:195.9  pursuit where we are badgered ceaselessly and pushed about without a  thought or care for us or for our future. Gratitude becomes the
W1:195.9  or care for us or for our future. Gratitude becomes the single  thought we substitute for these insane perceptions. God has cared for
W1:196.5 The dreary, hopeless  thought that you can make attacks on others and escape yourself has
W1:196.6 Such is the form of madness you believe if you accept the fearful  thought you can attack another and be free yourself. Until this form

W1:4.1  idea for the day. In these practice periods, begin with noting the  thoughts that are crossing your mind for about a minute. Then apply
W1:4.1  Then apply the idea to them. If you are already aware of unhappy  thoughts, use them as subjects for the idea. Do not, however, select
W1:4.1  use them as subjects for the idea. Do not, however, select only the  thoughts you think are “bad.” You will find, if you train yourself to
W1:4.1  are “bad.” You will find, if you train yourself to look at your  thoughts, that they represent such a mixture that, in a sense, none
W1:4.2  the usual specificity is required. Do not be afraid to use “good”  thoughts as well as “bad.” None of them represents your real
W1:4.2  “good” thoughts as well as “bad.” None of them represents your real  thoughts, which are being covered up by them. The “good” ones of
W1:4.3  to recognize what is the same and what is different. In using your  thoughts for application of the idea for today, identify each thought
W1:4.5  kind, you may find the suspension of judgment in connection with  thoughts particularly difficult. Do not repeat these exercises more
W1:6.4 Again, if you resist applying the idea to some upsetting  thoughts more than to others, remind yourself of the two cautions
W1:7.5 It is the reason why your  thoughts do not mean anything and why they are like the things you
W1:8.1  you see only the past. No one really sees anything. He sees only his  thoughts projected outward. The mind's preoccupation with the past is
W1:8.4  search your mind for the usual minute or so, merely noting the  thoughts you find there. Name each one by the central figure or theme
W1:8.6 Then name each of your  thoughts specifically. For example:
W1:8.9 But my mind is preoccupied with past  thoughts.
W1:10.1 This idea applies to all the  thoughts of which you are aware or become aware in the practice
W1:10.1  the idea is applicable to all of them is that they are not your real  thoughts. We have made this distinction before and will again. You
W1:10.1  you do, you will have no doubt that what you once believed were your  thoughts did not mean anything.
W1:10.3 This aspect of the correction process began with the idea that the  thoughts of which you are aware are meaningless, outside rather than
W1:10.6 The exercises consist, as before, in searching your mind for all the  thoughts which are available to you, without selection or judgment.
W1:11.1  what you perceive. Today's idea introduces the concept that your  thoughts determine the world you see. Be glad indeed to practice the
W1:14.3 The idea for today is another step in learning to let go the  thoughts which you have written on the world, and see the Word of God
W1:15.1 It is because the  thoughts you think you think appear as images that you do not
W1:16.1  for today is a beginning step in dispelling the belief that your  thoughts have no effect. Everything you see is the result of your
W1:16.1  thoughts have no effect. Everything you see is the result of your  thoughts. There is no exception to this fact. Thoughts are not big or
W1:16.1  is the result of your thoughts. There is no exception to this fact.  Thoughts are not big or little, powerful or weak. They are merely
W1:16.2 There is no more self-contradictory concept than that of “idle  thoughts.” What gives rise to the perception of a whole world can
W1:16.3  thought is impossible. There is such a temptation to dismiss fear  thoughts as unimportant, trivial, and not worth bothering about that
W1:16.8  about _____ is not a neutral thought, because I have no neutral  thoughts.
W1:17.1  operates. You see no neutral things because you have no neutral  thoughts. It is always the thought that comes first, despite the
W1:17.3 I see no neutral things because I have no neutral  thoughts.
W1:17.5 I do not see a neutral _____, because my  thoughts about _____ are not neutral.
W1:17.7 I do not see a neutral wall, because my  thoughts about walls are not neutral. I do not see a neutral body,
W1:17.7  about walls are not neutral. I do not see a neutral body, because my  thoughts about bodies are not neutral.
W1:17.8  and really joyous. That is because you are unaware as yet of any  thoughts which are really true and therefore really happy.
W1:18.1 The idea for today is another step in learning that the  thoughts which give rise to what you see are never neutral or
W1:19.2  an “invasion of privacy.” Yet it is a fact that there are no private  thoughts. Despite your initial resistance to this idea, you will yet
W1:19.3  first, and then the mind should be carefully searched for the  thoughts it contains at that time. As you consider each one, name it
W1:21.3 Try, therefore, not to let the “little”  thoughts of anger escape you in the practice periods. Remember that
W1:21.4 As you search your mind for all the forms in which attack  thoughts present themselves, hold each one in mind and tell yourself:
W1:22.1 Today's idea accurately describes the way anyone who holds attack  thoughts in his mind must see the world. Having projected his anger
W1:22.1  vicious circle until he is willing to change how he sees. Otherwise,  thoughts of attack and counter-attack will preoccupy him and people
W1:23.1  you have makes up some segment of the world you see. It is with your  thoughts, then, that we must work if your perception of the world is
W1:23.2 If the cause of the world you see is attack  thoughts, you must learn that it is these thoughts which you do not
W1:23.2  world you see is attack thoughts, you must learn that it is these  thoughts which you do not want. There is no point in lamenting the
W1:23.2  it is merely an effect. But there is indeed a point in changing your  thoughts about the world. Here you are changing the cause. The
W1:23.3  “external reality” is a pictorial representation of your own attack  thoughts. One can well ask if this can be called seeing. Is not
W1:23.6  and devote about a minute to searching your mind for as many attack  thoughts as occur to you. As each one crosses your mind say:
W1:23.7 I can escape from the world by giving up attack  thoughts about _____.
W1:23.9 In the practice periods, be sure to include both your  thoughts of attacking and of being attacked. Their effects are
W1:23.9  the cause of the world you see. When you finally realize that  thoughts of attack and of being attacked are not different, you will
W1:26.2 Because your attack  thoughts will be projected, you will fear attack. And if you fear
W1:26.2  fear attack, you must believe that you are not invulnerable. Attack  thoughts therefore make you vulnerable in your own mind, which is
W1:26.2  make you vulnerable in your own mind, which is where the attack  thoughts are. Attack thoughts and invulnerability cannot be accepted
W1:26.2  in your own mind, which is where the attack thoughts are. Attack  thoughts and invulnerability cannot be accepted together. They
W1:26.3  introduces the thought that you always attack yourself. If attack  thoughts must entail the belief that you are vulnerable, their effect
W1:26.4  that vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of your own  thoughts. Nothing except your thoughts can attack you. Nothing except
W1:26.4  is the result of your own thoughts. Nothing except your  thoughts can attack you. Nothing except your thoughts can make you
W1:26.4  Nothing except your thoughts can attack you. Nothing except your  thoughts can make you think you are vulnerable. And nothing except
W1:26.4  can make you think you are vulnerable. And nothing except your  thoughts can prove to you this is not so.
W1:26.6  Any problem as yet unsettled which tends to recur in your  thoughts during the day is a suitable subject. You will not be able
W1:28.3  of tables, nor are you limiting its purpose to your little personal  thoughts.
W1:31.3 As you survey your inner world, merely let whatever  thoughts cross your mind come into your awareness, each to be
W1:31.3  special investment on your part. As you sit and quietly watch your  thoughts, repeat today's idea to yourself as often as you care to,
W1:33.2  as outside yourself, then close your eyes and survey your inner  thoughts with equal casualness. Try to remain equally uninvolved in
W1:34.1  of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your own  thoughts and then extend outward. It is from your peace of mind that
W1:34.3  for each of the longer practice periods. Search your mind for fear  thoughts, anxiety provoking situations, “offending” personalities or
W1:34.3  or events, or anything else about which you are harboring unloving  thoughts. Note them all casually, repeating the idea for today slowly
W1:34.8 I can replace my feelings of depression, anxiety or worry [or my  thoughts about this situation, personality, or event] with peace.
W1:37.8  the idea to what you see around you and to those who are in your  thoughts; or you may use any combination of these two phases of
W1:38.6  to time you may want to vary this procedure and add some relevant  thoughts of your own. You might like, for example, to include
W1:38.6  thoughts of your own. You might like, for example, to include  thoughts such as:
W1:39.6  idea to yourself. Then with closed eyes search out your unloving  thoughts in whatever form they appear—uneasiness, depression,
W1:39.7  situations, events, or personalities you associate with unloving  thoughts of any kind are suitable subjects for today's exercises. It
W1:39.9 My unloving  thoughts about _____ are keeping me in hell. My holiness is my
W1:41.4  when the truth is hidden deep within under a heavy cloud of insane  thoughts, dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we
W1:41.5  Try instead to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle  thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply into your own mind,
W1:41.5  Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear of any  thoughts that might divert your attention.
W1:41.6  try to sink down and inward, away from the world and all the foolish  thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach past all these things.
W1:41.9 You can indeed afford to laugh at fear  thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go.
W1:42.1 The idea for today combines two very powerful  thoughts, both of major importance. It also sets forth a cause and
W1:42.4  idea again, quite slowly. After this, try to think of nothing except  thoughts which occur to you in relation to today's idea. You might
W1:42.7  at the amount of course-related understanding some of your own  thoughts contain. Let them come without censoring unless you realize
W1:42.7  your mind is merely wandering and you have let obviously irrelevant  thoughts intrude. You may also reach a point where no thoughts at all
W1:42.7  irrelevant thoughts intrude. You may also reach a point where no  thoughts at all seem to come to mind. If such interferences occur,
W1:42.7  repeat the idea once more, and then continue to look for related  thoughts in your mind.
W1:42.8 Remember, though, that active searching for relevant  thoughts is not appropriate for today's exercises. Try merely to step
W1:42.8  for today's exercises. Try merely to step back and let the  thoughts come. If you find this difficult, it is better to spend the
W1:42.8  then open, and so on, than it is to strain in order to find suitable  thoughts.
W1:42.9  beneficial. The idea for the day is a beginning step in bringing  thoughts together and teaching you that we are studying a unified
W1:43.8  your eyes, repeat today's idea again, and then let whatever relevant  thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your own personal way.
W1:43.8  thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your own personal way.  Thoughts such as:
W1:43.9  see the world as blessed. The world can show me myself. I see my own  thoughts, which are like God's.
W1:43.10  related more or less directly to today's idea is suitable. The  thoughts need not bear an obvious relationship to the idea, but they
W1:43.11 If you should find your mind wandering, if you begin to be aware of  thoughts which are clearly out of accord with today's idea, or if you
W1:43.11  period to occur in which you become preoccupied with irrelevant  thoughts. Return to the first phase of the exercises as often as
W1:44.5  form, you leave behind everything that you now believe and all the  thoughts which you have made up. Properly speaking, this is the
W1:44.7  It is merely taking its natural course. Try to observe your passing  thoughts without involvement and slip quietly by them.
W1:44.10  to think of light, formless and without limit, as you pass by the  thoughts of this world. And do not forget that they cannot hold you
W1:45.1 Today's idea holds the key to what your real  thoughts are. They are nothing that you think you think, just as
W1:45.1  and what you think is real. Nothing that you think are your real  thoughts resembles your real thoughts in any respect. Nothing that
W1:45.1  Nothing that you think are your real thoughts resembles your real  thoughts in any respect. Nothing that you think you see bears any
W1:45.2 You think with the Mind of God. Therefore you share your  thoughts with Him, as He shares His with you. They are the same
W1:45.2  your thoughts with Him, as He shares His with you. They are the same  thoughts because they are thought by the same Mind. To share is to
W1:45.2  the same Mind. To share is to make alike or to make one. Nor do the  thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because
W1:45.2  the thoughts you think with the Mind of God leave your mind, because  thoughts do not leave their source. Therefore your thoughts are in
W1:45.2  mind, because thoughts do not leave their source. Therefore your  thoughts are in the Mind of God, as you are. They are in your mind as
W1:45.2  mind as well, where He is. As you are part of His Mind, so are your  thoughts part of His thoughts.
W1:45.2  He is. As you are part of His Mind, so are your thoughts part of His  thoughts.
W1:45.3 Where, then, are your real  thoughts? Today we will attempt to reach them. We will have to look
W1:45.4  real. We will deny the world in favor of truth. We will not let the  thoughts of the world hold us back, and we will not let the beliefs
W1:45.6  as you do so. Spend a fairly short period in thinking a few relevant  thoughts of your own, keeping the idea in mind as you do so. After
W1:45.6  idea in mind as you do so. After you have added some four or five  thoughts of your own, repeat the idea again, and tell yourself gently:
W1:45.7 My real  thoughts are in my mind. I would like to find them.
W1:45.8 Then try to go past all the unreal  thoughts that cover the truth in your mind, and reach to the eternal.
W1:45.9 Under all the senseless  thoughts and mad ideas with which you have cluttered up your mind are
W1:45.9  and mad ideas with which you have cluttered up your mind are the  thoughts which you thought with God in the beginning. They are there
W1:45.10  Here is your mind joined with the Mind of God. Here are your  thoughts one with His.
W1:45.12  your mind's holiness. Stand aside, however briefly, from all  thoughts that are unworthy of Him Whose host you are. And thank Him
W1:45.12  that are unworthy of Him Whose host you are. And thank Him for the  thoughts He is thinking with you.
W1:49.3  God and of your Self. We will approach this happiest and holiest of  thoughts with confidence, knowing that in doing so we are joining our
W1:49.4  all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real  thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God. Sink deep into the
W1:49.4  deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous  thoughts and sounds and sights of this insane world. You do not live
W1:50.4  deep into your consciousness. Repeat it, think about it, let related  thoughts come to help you recognize its truth, and allow peace to
W1:50.4  you like a blanket of protection and surety. Let no idle and foolish  thoughts enter to disturb the holy mind of the Son of God. Such is
W1:51.5 [4] These  thoughts do not mean anything. The thoughts of which I am aware do
W1:51.5 [4] These thoughts do not mean anything. The  thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything because I am trying
W1:51.5  anything because I am trying to think without God. What I call “my”  thoughts are not my real thoughts. My real thoughts are the thoughts
W1:51.5  to think without God. What I call “my” thoughts are not my real  thoughts. My real thoughts are the thoughts I think with God. I am
W1:51.5  God. What I call “my” thoughts are not my real thoughts. My real  thoughts are the thoughts I think with God. I am not aware of them
W1:51.5  “my” thoughts are not my real thoughts. My real thoughts are the  thoughts I think with God. I am not aware of them because I have made
W1:51.5  I think with God. I am not aware of them because I have made my  thoughts to take their place. I am willing to recognize that my
W1:51.5  my thoughts to take their place. I am willing to recognize that my  thoughts do not mean anything and to let them go. I choose to have
W1:51.5  to have them be replaced by what they were intended to replace. My  thoughts are meaningless, but all creation lies in the thoughts I
W1:51.5  replace. My thoughts are meaningless, but all creation lies in the  thoughts I think with God.
W1:51.6  the reason I think because I am constantly trying to justify “my”  thoughts. I am constantly trying to make them true. I make all things
W1:52.4 [8] My mind is preoccupied with past  thoughts. I see only my own thoughts, and my mind is preoccupied with
W1:52.4 [8] My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts. I see only my own  thoughts, and my mind is preoccupied with the past. What, then, can I
W1:52.6 [10] My  thoughts do not mean anything. I have no private thoughts. Yet it is
W1:52.6 [10] My thoughts do not mean anything. I have no private  thoughts. Yet it is only private thoughts of which I am aware. What
W1:52.6  mean anything. I have no private thoughts. Yet it is only private  thoughts of which I am aware. What can these thoughts mean? They do
W1:52.6  Yet it is only private thoughts of which I am aware. What can these  thoughts mean? They do not exist, and so they mean nothing. Yet my
W1:52.6  all that is really mine with my pitiful and meaningless “private”  thoughts?
W1:53.2 [11] My meaningless  thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. Since the thoughts of
W1:53.2  meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. Since the  thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything, the world which
W1:53.2  and so is what it produces. Reality is not insane, and I have real  thoughts as well as insane ones. I can therefore see a real world if
W1:53.2  insane ones. I can therefore see a real world if I look to my real  thoughts as my guide for seeing.
W1:53.3 [12] I am upset because I see a meaningless world. Insane  thoughts are upsetting. They produce a world in which there is no
W1:53.5  Why should I continue to suffer from the effects of my own insane  thoughts when the perfection of creation is my home? Let me remember
W1:53.6 [15] My  thoughts are images which I have made. Whatever I see reflects my
W1:53.6  My thoughts are images which I have made. Whatever I see reflects my  thoughts. It is my thoughts which tell me where I am and what I am.
W1:53.6  which I have made. Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. It is my  thoughts which tell me where I am and what I am. The fact that I see
W1:53.6  death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane  thoughts and am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their
W1:53.6  the representation of my insane thoughts and am not allowing my real  thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet God's way
W1:54.2 [16] I have no neutral  thoughts. Neutral thoughts are impossible, because all thoughts have
W1:54.2 [16] I have no neutral thoughts. Neutral  thoughts are impossible, because all thoughts have power. They will
W1:54.2  no neutral thoughts. Neutral thoughts are impossible, because all  thoughts have power. They will either make a false world or lead me
W1:54.2  They will either make a false world or lead me to the real one. But  thoughts cannot be without effects. As the world I see arises from my
W1:54.2  real world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My  thoughts cannot be neither true nor false. They must be one or the
W1:54.4  alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing. If I have no private  thoughts, I cannot see a private world. Even the mad idea of
W1:54.4  that sharing was a sharing of nothing. I can also call upon my real  thoughts, which share everything with everybody. As my thoughts of
W1:54.4  upon my real thoughts, which share everything with everybody. As my  thoughts of separation call to the separation thoughts of others, so
W1:54.4  with everybody. As my thoughts of separation call to the separation  thoughts of others, so my real thoughts awaken the real thoughts in
W1:54.4  of separation call to the separation thoughts of others, so my real  thoughts awaken the real thoughts in them. And the world my real
W1:54.4  separation thoughts of others, so my real thoughts awaken the real  thoughts in them. And the world my real thoughts show me will dawn on
W1:54.4  thoughts awaken the real thoughts in them. And the world my real  thoughts show me will dawn on their sight as well as mine.
W1:54.5 [19] I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my  thoughts. I am alone in nothing. Everything I think or say or do
W1:54.6 [20] I am determined to see. Recognizing the shared nature of my  thoughts, I am determined to see. I would look upon the witnesses
W1:55.3  of vengeance. The world I see is hardly the representation of loving  thoughts. It is a picture of attack on everything by everything. It
W1:55.3  of the Love of God and the love of His Son. It is my own attack  thoughts which give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts will
W1:55.3  is my own attack thoughts which give rise to this picture. My loving  thoughts will save me from this perception of the world and give me
W1:55.4 [23] I can escape from the world by giving up attack  thoughts. Herein lies my salvation, and nowhere else. Without attack
W1:55.4  thoughts. Herein lies my salvation, and nowhere else. Without attack  thoughts I could not see a world of attack. As forgiveness allows
W1:56.2 [26] My attack  thoughts are attacking my invulnerability. How can I know who I am
W1:56.2  I see. But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real  thoughts will teach me what it is.
W1:56.6  see because God is in my mind. In my own mind, behind all my insane  thoughts of separation and attack, is the knowledge that all is one
W1:56.6  it. It has been kept for me in the Mind of God, Who has not left His  thoughts. And I, who am among them, am one with them and one with Him.
W1:57.4  another way of looking at it. I see everything upside down, and my  thoughts are the opposite of truth. I see the world as a prison for
W1:58.2  the holiness of the world is all I see, for I can picture only the  thoughts I hold about myself.
W1:59.6 [45] God is the Mind with which I think. I have no  thoughts I do not share with God. I have no thoughts apart from Him
W1:59.6  which I think. I have no thoughts I do not share with God. I have no  thoughts apart from Him because I have no mind apart from His. As
W1:59.6  Him because I have no mind apart from His. As part of His Mind, my  thoughts are His and His thoughts are mine.
W1:59.6  apart from His. As part of His Mind, my thoughts are His and His  thoughts are mine.
W1:60.5  save me. There is not a moment in which His Voice fails to direct my  thoughts, guide my actions, and lead my feet. I am walking steadily
W1:61.7  with your eyes closed if the situation permits. Let a few related  thoughts come to you, and repeat the idea to yourself if your mind
W1:62.2  the truth. For this, attack must be replaced by forgiveness so that  thoughts of life may replace thoughts of death.
W1:62.2  must be replaced by forgiveness so that thoughts of life may replace  thoughts of death.
W1:62.8 Let related  thoughts come freely, for your heart will recognize these words, and
W1:63.5  can close your eyes, you will probably find it easier to let related  thoughts come to you in the minute or two which you should devote to
W1:64.7 Today, then, let us practice with these  thoughts:
W1:64.9  ten or 15 minutes to reflecting on this with closed eyes. Related  thoughts will come to help you if you remember the crucial importance
W1:64.10  made throughout the day, devote several minutes to reviewing these  thoughts and then to thinking about them and about nothing else. This
W1:64.11  do the exercises with your eyes closed, trying to concentrate on the  thoughts you are applying. At other times keep your eyes open after
W1:64.11  are applying. At other times keep your eyes open after reviewing the  thoughts and look slowly and unselectively about you, telling
W1:65.1  reminds you that you have no function other than this. Both of these  thoughts are obviously necessary for a total commitment. Salvation
W1:65.5  yourself once again, and watch your mind carefully to catch whatever  thoughts cross it.
W1:65.6 At first, make no attempt to concentrate only on  thoughts related to the idea for today. Rather, try to uncover each
W1:65.8 After a while, interfering  thoughts will become harder to find. Try, however, to continue a
W1:65.8  a minute or so longer, attempting to catch a few of the idle  thoughts which escaped your attention before, but do not strain or
W1:66.5 Begin the ten- to fifteen-minute practice period by reviewing these  thoughts:
W1:66.7  if you do not yet accept the conclusion. It is only if the first two  thoughts are wrong that the conclusion could be false. Let us, then,
W1:67.2  truth about you and then spend a few minutes adding some relevant  thoughts, such as:
W1:67.5 After you have gone over several such related  thoughts, try to let all thoughts drop away for a brief preparatory
W1:67.5  you have gone over several such related thoughts, try to let all  thoughts drop away for a brief preparatory interval, and then try to
W1:67.6  repeat the idea for today from time to time to replace distracting  thoughts. You may also find that this is not sufficient and that you
W1:67.6  this is not sufficient and that you need to continue adding other  thoughts related to the truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you will
W1:70.14  yourself that your salvation comes from you and nothing but your own  thoughts can hamper your progress. You are free from all external
W1:72.3  like; he does something that displeases us, he “betrays” his hostile  thoughts in his behavior.
W1:74.3 Begin the longer practice periods by repeating these  thoughts several times, slowly and with firm determination to
W1:74.5 Then spend several minutes in adding some related  thoughts, such as:
W1:74.7  this introductory phase, be sure to deal quickly with any conflict  thoughts that may cross your mind. Tell yourself immediately:
W1:74.8 There is no will but God's. These conflict  thoughts are meaningless.
W1:R2.3  it. Do not allow your intent to waver in the face of distracting  thoughts. Realize that, whatever form such thoughts may take, they
W1:R2.3  the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever form such  thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no power. Replace them
W1:R2.4  and the life. Refuse to be side-tracked into detours, illusions, and  thoughts of death. You are dedicated to salvation. Be determined each
W1:91.10  honesty, and then devote several minutes to allowing your mistaken  thoughts about your attributes to be corrected, and their opposites
W1:91.13  meager, are fully supported by the strength of God and all His  thoughts. It is from Them your strength will come. It is through
W1:93.3  but from a very different reference point from which such idle  thoughts are meaningless. These thoughts are not according to God's
W1:93.3  reference point from which such idle thoughts are meaningless. These  thoughts are not according to God's Will. These weird beliefs He does
W1:93.12  however, to do so when you can. At least remember to repeat these  thoughts each hour:
W1:93.15  disturbing, quickly dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these  thoughts again. Should you be tempted to become angry with someone,
W1:94.1  world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the  thoughts that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one
W1:96.5  its function then, it has no peace, and happiness is alien to its  thoughts.
W1:96.8 Your Self retains its  thoughts, and they remain within your mind and in the Mind of God.
W1:96.8  in your name that it was done. Thus is salvation kept among the  thoughts your Self holds dear and cherishes for you.
W1:96.12 Salvation comes from my One Self. Its  thoughts are mine to use.
W1:96.13 Then seek its  thoughts, and claim them as your own.
W1:96.14 These are your own real  thoughts you have denied, and let your mind go wandering in a world
W1:96.14  a world of dreams, to find illusions in their place. Here are your  thoughts, the only ones you have. Salvation is among them; find it
W1:96.15 If you succeed, the  thoughts that come to you will tell you you are saved and that your
W1:97.6  will increase in healing power each time someone accepts them as his  thoughts and uses them to heal.
W1:98.13  with you, be thankful and lay down all earthly tasks, all little  thoughts and limited ideas, and spend a happy time again with Him.
W1:99.3  illusions thinks them real. They have existence in that they are  thoughts. And yet they are not real because the mind that thinks
W1:99.3  And yet they are not real because the mind that thinks these  thoughts is separate from God.
W1:99.4 What joins the separated mind and  thoughts with Mind and thought which are forever one? What plan could
W1:99.9  mistakes enter the darkened places of your mind which thought the  thoughts that never were His Will.
W1:99.10  belongs to God, as does the rest. It does not think its solitary  thoughts and make them real by hiding them from Him. Let in the
W1:99.15 Forgive all  thoughts which would oppose the truth of your completeness, unity,
W1:100.1  Father's plan. Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate  thoughts and separate bodies which lead separate lives and go their
W1:100.9  that you succeed! Look deep within you, undismayed by all the little  thoughts and foolish goals you pass as you ascend to meet the Christ
W1:101.9  your practice periods, and then attempt again to find the joy these  thoughts will introduce into your mind. Give these five minutes
W1:107.4  has come, all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory  thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your mind. Truth occupies your
W1:108.1  the resolution, born of peace, of all your conflicts and mistaken  thoughts into one concept which is wholly true? Even that one will
W1:109.11  passed by, to every Thought of God, and to the Mind in Which these  Thoughts were born and where they rest. And we remind them of their
W1:110.11  will remember Him throughout the day with thankful hearts and loving  thoughts for all who meet with us today, for it is thus that we
W1:R3.5  twice a day, or longer if you would prefer, to considering the  thoughts that are assigned. Read over the ideas and comments which
W1:R3.6  them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who gave the  thoughts to you. What can you trust but what is in your mind? Have
W1:R3.6  start, and then lean back in quiet faith and let the mind employ the  thoughts you gave as they were given you for it to use.
W1:R3.14  now. Do not forget your Father's need of you as you review these  thoughts He gave to you.
W1:122.3  lets you recognize the Son of God and clears your memory of all dead  thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the
W1:124.4  and remembrance. We feel Him in our hearts. Our minds contain His  thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon. Today
W1:124.6  to come, as easily as in the ones who walk beside them now. Their  thoughts are timeless and apart from distance as apart from time.
W1:125.3  we will hear God's Voice today without intrusion of our petty  thoughts, without our personal desires, and without all judgment of
W1:126.2  from you and able to behave in ways which have no bearing on your  thoughts, nor theirs on [yourself]. Therefore your attitudes have no
W1:126.8  will need help to make this meaningful because it is so alien to the  thoughts to which you are accustomed. But the Help you need is there.
W1:126.10  understand forgiveness and seek sanctuary in the quiet place where  thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat today's idea,
W1:127.8  own reality and what love means. He will shine through your idle  thoughts today and help you understand the truth of love. In loving
W1:128.4 Let nothing which relates to body  thoughts delay your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation to
W1:129.11  and take a moment to confirm your choice by laying by whatever  thoughts you have, and dwelling briefly only upon this:
W1:131.10  not exist, while Heaven is the place he cannot find. Leave foolish  thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to true ideas
W1:131.11  images that we held dear, with true ideas arising in the place of  thoughts which have no meaning, no effect, and neither source nor
W1:131.13  from those I made. The world I seek I did not make alone. The  thoughts I want to think are not my own.
W1:131.14  eyes are closed, the senseless world you think is real. Review the  thoughts as well which are compatible with such a world and which you
W1:131.18  today should be a time of special gladness, and refrain from dismal  thoughts and meaningless laments. Salvation's time has come. Today is
W1:132.1  can save the world except your Self? Belief is powerful indeed. The  thoughts you hold are mighty, and illusions are as strong in their
W1:132.1  real and does not doubt it. Nor can he be swayed by questioning his  thoughts' effects. It is but when their source is raised to question
W1:132.2  easily achieved, for anyone is free to change his mind, and all his  thoughts change with it. Now the source of thought has shifted, for
W1:132.3  from what you thought before. You free the future from all ancient  thoughts of seeking what you do not want to find. The present now
W1:132.5  came unwillingly to what was made already, hardly waiting for your  thoughts to give it meaning. Yet in truth you found exactly what you
W1:132.9  from all things you ever thought it was by merely changing all the  thoughts that gave it these appearances. The sick are healed as you
W1:132.9  gave it these appearances. The sick are healed as you let go all  thoughts of sickness, and the dead arise when you let thoughts of
W1:132.9  you let go all thoughts of sickness, and the dead arise when you let  thoughts of life replace all thoughts you ever held of death.
W1:132.9  and the dead arise when you let thoughts of life replace all  thoughts you ever held of death.
W1:132.12  And as it was His thought by which you were created, so it is your  thoughts which made it and must set it free that you may know the
W1:132.12  thoughts which made it and must set it free that you may know the  thoughts you share with God.
W1:132.15 Today our purpose is to free the world from all the idle  thoughts we ever held about it and about all living things we see
W1:132.19  world as well as to the ones you see near by as you send out these  thoughts to bless the world. But you will sense your own release,
W1:134.18 Let him be freed from all the  thoughts you had of sin in him. And now you are prepared for freedom.
W1:135.3  is based on this insane belief. And all its structures, all its  thoughts and doubts, its penalties and heavy armaments, its legal
W1:135.11 These are the  thoughts in need of healing, and the body will respond with health
W1:136.14  God has given you is not the truth right now, as it must be. The  thoughts of God are quite apart from time. For time is but another
W1:136.21  be preserved by careful watching. If you let your mind harbor attack  thoughts, yield to judgment, or make plans against uncertainties to
W1:137.12  succeed. Today we ask that only truth will occupy our minds, that  thoughts of healing will this day go forth from what is healed to
W1:137.14  And so we will begin the day with this and give ten minutes to these  thoughts with which we will conclude today at night as well:
W1:137.16  and to receive the Word of God to take the place of all the foolish  thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we come together to make well
W1:139.13  our dedication to our cause today each hour, as we lay aside all  thoughts that would distract us from our holy aim. For several
W1:140.8  not further from us than ourselves. It is as near to us as our own  thoughts—so close it is impossible to lose. We need but seek it,
W1:140.11  we go to sleep. Our only preparation is to let our interfering  thoughts be laid aside, not separately, but all of them as one. They
W1:R4.1  following. Thus we review the recent lessons and their central  thoughts in such a way as will facilitate the readiness which we
W1:R4.4  which fully guarantees salvation to the Son. For in his mind no  thoughts can dwell but those his Father shares. Lack of forgiveness
W1:R4.5  to be but what they are—defenses which protect your unforgiving  thoughts from being seen and recognized. Their purpose is to show you
W1:R4.7  you in freedom and in peace. Open your mind and clear it of all  thoughts that would deceive, and let this thought alone engage it
W1:R4.9  lines which God appointed and to place His Mind in charge of all the  thoughts you will receive that day. They will not come from you
W1:R4.11  let them be received where they were meant to be. We add no other  thoughts, but let them be the messages they are. We need no more than
W1:151.13  of the thought with which the day begins. And then we watch our  thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of truth in
W1:151.14 Give Him your  thoughts, and He will give them back as miracles which joyously
W1:151.15  15 more before you go to sleep. Your ministry begins as all your  thoughts are purified. So are you taught to teach the Son of God the
W1:151.15  Voice for God give honor to God's Son. And everyone will share the  thoughts with you which He has retranslated in your mind.
W1:151.17  we give thanks the world unites with us and happily accepts our holy  thoughts which Heaven has corrected and made pure. Now has our
W1:152.15  Father. He will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic  thoughts, the truth of God for self-deceptions, and God's Son for
W1:153.9  has any meaning. Now we cannot fear, for we have left all fearful  thoughts behind. And in defenselessness we stand secure, serenely
W1:153.13  which we put away the toys of guilt and lock our quaint and childish  thoughts of sin forever from the pure and holy minds of Heaven's
W1:153.16  on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little while and turn our  thoughts to God.
W1:156.2 We are not inconsistent in the  thoughts that we present in our curriculum. Truth must be true
W1:157.5  so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy  thoughts of God.
W1:158.7  touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful mistakes, and fearful  thoughts of guilt from dreams of sin. It sees no separation. And it
W1:161.4  all minds, for every mind is one. Such is the truth. Yet do these  thoughts make clear the meaning of creation? Do these words bring
W1:162.4  practice simply. For the words we use are mighty, and they need no  thoughts beyond themselves to change the mind of him who uses them.
W1:163.1  which the wish to be as you are not may come to tempt you. All such  thoughts are but reflections of the worshipping of death as savior
W1:163.8 Death's worshipers may be afraid. And yet can  thoughts like these be fearful? If they saw that it is only this
W1:163.9  things, to be like You and part of You forever. We accept Your  thoughts as ours, and our will is one with Yours eternally. Amen.
W1:165.1  except your own denial of the truth which lies beyond? What but your  thoughts of misery and death obscure the perfect happiness and the
W1:167.1  the one condition in which all that God created share. Like all His  thoughts, it has no opposite. There is no death because what God
W1:167.8  not share with them. The thought of death is not the opposite to  thoughts of life. Forever unopposed by opposites of any kind, the
W1:167.8  to thoughts of life. Forever unopposed by opposites of any kind, the  thoughts of God remain forever changeless with the power to extend
W1:167.11  forever and forever. He is Lord of what we think today. And in His  thoughts, which have no opposite, we understand there is one life and
W1:167.11  one life and that we share with Him, with all creation, with their  thoughts as well, whom He created in a unity of life that cannot
W1:R5.3  the Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the  thoughts that You have given us.
W1:R5.4 This is the thought which should precede the  thoughts that we review. Each one but clarifies some aspect of this
W1:R5.6  alone knows love. This Self alone is perfectly consistent in Its  thoughts, knows Its Creator, understands Itself, is perfect in Its
W1:R5.10 Release me as you practice once again the  thoughts I brought to you from Him Who sees your bitter need and
W1:R5.10  and knows the answer God has given Him. Together we review these  thoughts. Together we devote our time and effort to them. And
W1:R5.14  day. No thought that we review but we surround with it and use the  thoughts to hold it up before our minds and keep it clear in our
W1:181.8 And we will also use these  thoughts to keep us safe throughout the day. We do not seek for long
W1:182.7  He does not belong and where He lives an outcast in a world of alien  thoughts. His patience has no limits. He will wait until you hear His
W1:183.3  a star; a miracle of grace. The sick arise, healed of their sickly  thoughts. The blind can see; the deaf can hear; the sorrowful cast
W1:183.7 Hear nothing else. Let all your  thoughts become anchored on this. No other words we use except at the
W1:183.9  the all-encompassing idea which holds your mind completely. Let all  thoughts be still except this one. And to all other thoughts respond
W1:183.9  Let all thoughts be still except this one. And to all other  thoughts respond with this, and see God's Name replace the thousand
W1:183.9  and see God's Name replace the thousand little names you gave your  thoughts, not realizing that there is One Name for all there is and
W1:183.11  unneeded when God's Son calls on his Father's Name. His Father's  Thoughts become his own. He makes his claim to all his Father gave,
W1:186.13  to you, although He knows that you have everything already. He has  thoughts which answer every need His Son perceives, although He sees
W1:187.2  perceive it yours. Yet we have learned that things but represent the  thoughts that make them. And you do not lack for proof that when you
W1:187.5  thought remains and grows in strength as it is reinforced by giving.  Thoughts extend as they are shared, for they cannot be lost. There is
W1:188.3  forever and forever. What it gives must be eternal. It removes all  thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It brings renewal to all
W1:188.6  give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer world and let your  thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the way. For honest
W1:188.6  your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the way. For honest  thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself,
W1:188.6  outside yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself. These  thoughts you think with Him. They recognize their home. And they
W1:188.8  coming nearer to the light in us today. We take our wandering  thoughts and gently bring them back to where they fall in line with
W1:188.8  and gently bring them back to where they fall in line with all the  thoughts we share with God. We will not let them stray. We let the
W1:189.7 Simply do this: be still and lay aside all  thoughts of what you are and what God is, all concepts you have
W1:189.10  look for them. Our hands are open to receive Your gifts. We have no  thoughts we think apart from You and cherish no beliefs of what we
W1:190.5 It is your  thoughts alone that cause you pain. Nothing external to your mind can
W1:190.6  does nothing. It has no effects at all. It merely represents your  thoughts. And it will change entirely as you elect to change your
W1:190.7  represent its pains. Your strange desires bring it evil dreams. Your  thoughts of death envelop it in fear, while in your kind forgiveness
W1:190.9  where Heaven's peace holds all things still at last. Lay down all  thoughts of danger and of fear. Let no attack enter with you. Lay
W1:191.5 But let today's idea find a place among your  thoughts, and you have risen far above the world and all the worldly
W1:191.5  thoughts, and you have risen far above the world and all the worldly  thoughts that hold it prisoner. And from this place of safety and
W1:192.7  born of error. We are lost in mists of shifting dreams and fearful  thoughts, our eyes shut tight against the light, our minds engaged in
W1:193.4 The One Whom God created to replace the foolish  thoughts which crept into the mind of His most holy Son with peace
W1:194.2  passed all anxiety, all pits of hell, all blackness of depression,  thoughts of sin, and devastation brought about by guilt. Accept
W1:194.8  thus you call the memory of Him to come again, replacing all your  thoughts of sin and evil with the truth of love. Think you the world
W1:195.1  seems to suffer more than they. How pitiful and deprecating are such  thoughts! For who has cause for thanks while others have less cause,
W1:196.3  see within today's idea the light of resurrection, looking past all  thoughts of crucifixion and of death to thoughts of liberation and of
W1:196.3  looking past all thoughts of crucifixion and of death to  thoughts of liberation and of life.
W1:196.7  shift has been accomplished, you cannot perceive that it is but your  thoughts that bring you fear and your deliverance depends on you.
W1:196.8  you understand it is impossible that you be hurt except by your own  thoughts, the fear of God must disappear. You do not now believe that
W1:197.2  easily are God and guilt confused by those who know not what their  thoughts can do. Deny your strength, and weakness must become
W1:197.9  that you do is given unto Him. All that you think can only be His  thoughts, sharing with Him the holy thoughts of God. Earn now the
W1:197.9  that you think can only be His thoughts, sharing with Him the holy  thoughts of God. Earn now the gratitude you have denied yourself when
W1:198.8  can die! The stillness of your Self remains unmoved, untouched by  thoughts like these, and unaware of any condemnation which could need
W1:198.13  Now is there stillness where before there was a frantic rush of  thoughts that made no sense. Now is there tranquil light across the
W1:198.14  no condemnation in him. He is perfect in his holiness. He needs no  thoughts of mercy. Who could give him gifts when everything is his?
W1:199.2  and with strength and power to do whatever it is asked. Attack  thoughts cannot enter such a mind because it has been given to the
W1:R6.2  in mind, we start our practicing in which we carefully review the  thoughts the Holy Spirit has bestowed on us in our last 20 lessons.
W1:R6.10  each day's idea, we will add but few formal expressions for specific  thoughts to aid your practicing. Instead we give these times of quiet
W1:R6.10  the Teacher Who instructs in quiet, speaks of peace, and gives our  thoughts whatever meaning they may have.
W1:213.1  me learn. A lesson is a miracle which God offers to me in place of  thoughts I made that hurt me. What I learn of Him becomes the way I
W2:I.8  to follow it as He would have us go. His hand has held us up. His  thoughts have lit the darkness of our minds. His Love has called to
W2:I.11  deep experience which should come afterwards. These special  thoughts should be reviewed each day, each one of them to be
W2:221.2  one intent—to hear our Father's answer to our call, to let our  thoughts be still and find His peace, to hear Him speak to us of what
W2:222.1  I live and move, the Spirit Which directs my actions, offers me Its  thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all pain. He covers me with
W2:223.1  I have no other home, and I do not exist apart from Him. He has no  thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none but those which are
W2:229.2  keeping my Identity untouched and sinless in the midst of all the  thoughts of sin my foolish mind made up. And thanks to You for saving
W2:WS.1  but be kept. It guarantees that time will have an end, and all the  thoughts that have been born in time will end as well. God's Word is
W2:WS.1  God's Word is given every mind which thinks that it has separate  thoughts and will replace these thoughts of conflict with the thought
W2:WS.1  which thinks that it has separate thoughts and will replace these  thoughts of conflict with the thought of peace.
W2:232.1  to hear my call to You and answer me. As evening comes, let all my  thoughts be still of You and of Your Love, and let me sleep sure of
W2:233.1 Father, I give You all my  thoughts today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me
W2:234.1  So brief the interval, there was no lapse in continuity nor break in  thoughts which are forever unified as one. Nothing has ever happened
W2:236.2 Father, my mind is open to Your  thoughts and closed today to every thought but Yours. I rule my mind
W2:WIW.2  Here was perception born, for knowledge could not cause such insane  thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. Now mistakes
W2:249.2  them, held them in a vise of bitterness, and frightened them with  thoughts of violence and death. Now would we rest again in You, as
W2:WIS.3  of all illusions, which but stand for things imagined, issuing from  thoughts which are untrue. They are the “proof” that what has no
W2:252.1 My Self is holy beyond all the  thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive. Its shimmering and
W2:254.2 Today we let no ego  thoughts direct our words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we
W2:254.2 Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. When such  thoughts occur, we quietly step back and look at them, and then we
W2:257.1  be determined to remember what we want today that we may unify our  thoughts and actions meaningfully and achieve only what God would
W2:265.1  What is reflected here is in God's Mind. The images I see reflect my  thoughts. Yet is my mind at one with God's. And so I can perceive
W2:265.2 In quiet would I look upon the world, which but reflects Your  thoughts and mine as well. Let me remember that they are the same,
W2:275.2  do and where to go, to whom to speak, and what to say to him, what  thoughts to think, what words to give the world. The safety that I
W2:278.2 Father, I ask for nothing but the truth. I have had many foolish  thoughts about myself and my creation and have brought a dream of
W2:281.1  he has forgotten who he is, and that he is as You created him. Your  Thoughts can only bring me happiness. If ever I am sad or hurt or
W2:281.1  think and put my little, meaningless ideas in place of where Your  Thoughts belong and where They are. I can be hurt by nothing but my
W2:281.1  Thoughts belong and where They are. I can be hurt by nothing but my  thoughts. The thoughts I think with You can only bless. The thoughts
W2:281.1  and where They are. I can be hurt by nothing but my thoughts. The  thoughts I think with You can only bless. The thoughts I think with
W2:281.1  but my thoughts. The thoughts I think with You can only bless. The  thoughts I think with You alone are true.
W2:284.1  more, and finally accepted as the truth. I can elect to change all  thoughts that hurt. And I would go beyond these words today, go past
W2:285.1  but them to come and realize my invitation will be answered by the  thoughts to which they have been sent by me. And I will ask for only
W2:WIRW.3 What need has such a mind for  thoughts of death, attack, and murder? What can it perceive
W2:291.2 This day my mind is quiet to receive the  thoughts You offer me. And I accept what comes from You instead of
W2:293.1 All fear is past because its source is gone and all its  thoughts gone with it. Love remains the only present state, whose
W2:294.1  for what must die? And yet a neutral thing does not see death, for  thoughts of fear are not invested there, nor is a mockery of love
W2:296.1  You speak through me, for I would use no words but Yours and have no  thoughts which are apart from Yours, for only Yours are true. I would

Tx:18.21  relationship will be a means for undoing guilt in everyone blessed  through your holy relationship. It will be a happy dream, and one
Tx:18.21  and one which you will share with all who come within your sight.  Through it, the blessing which the Holy Spirit has laid upon it will

Tx:18.62  where you can be yourself in peace. Not through destruction, not  through a “breaking out,” but merely by a quiet “melting in.” For
Tx:18.69  the body's value from your mind. Here is the quick and open door  through which you slip past centuries of effort and escape from time.
Tx:18.86  The barren sands, the darkness and the lifelessness are seen only  through the body's eyes. Its vision is distorted, and the messages it
Tx:18.87  God can bring you there if you are willing to follow the Holy Spirit  through seeming terror, trusting Him not to abandon you and leave you
Tx:18.87  Him at the outside ring of fear, but He would lead you safely  through and far beyond.

Tx:19.6  set up a goal forever impossible to attain, for part of it is sought  through the body, thought of as a means for seeking out reality
Tx:19.6  through the body, thought of as a means for seeking out reality  through attack, while the other part would heal and therefore calls
Tx:19.12 Faith is the gift of God,  through Him Whom God has given you. Faithlessness looks upon the Son
Tx:19.12  upon the Son of God and judges him unworthy of forgiveness. But  through the eyes of faith, the Son of God is seen already forgiven,
Tx:19.12  him, but would see in him only what it would see in you. It sees not  through the body's eyes nor looks to bodies for its justification. It
Tx:19.12  you share it with Him. Faith is a gift you offer to the Son of God  through Him, and wholly acceptable to his Father as to him. And
Tx:19.13  in each other. Yet faith unites you in the holiness you see, not  through the body's eyes but in the sight of Him Who joined you and in
Tx:19.13  both of you. And be you healed by grace together, that you may heal  through faith.
Tx:19.14  will you see the miracle of your relationship as it was made again  through faith. And there it is that you will realize that there is
Tx:19.21  sacrosanct to its thought system and quite unapproachable except  through reverence and awe. It is the most “holy” concept in the ego's
Tx:19.24  and so easily escaped from that its whole correction is like walking  through a mist into the sun? For that is all it is. Perhaps you would

Tx:19.30  unchangeable and that the mind must accept as true what it is told  through it. If it does not obey, the mind is judged insane. The only

Tx:19.53  has given you love's messengers to send instead of those you trained  through fear. They are as eager to return to you what they hold dear
Tx:19.56  of you. To the ego sin means death, and so Atonement is achieved  through murder. Salvation is looked upon as a way by which the Son of
Tx:19.64  outside. How easily the gates are opened from within to let peace  through to bless the tired world! Can it be difficult for us to walk
Tx:19.71 It is impossible to seek for pleasure  through the body and not find pain. It is essential that this
Tx:19.76  Holy Spirit is both the sender and the receiver. For what is sent  through Him returns to Him, seeking itself along the way and finding
Tx:19.78  laugh at death. The sentence sin would lay upon him he can escape  through your forgiveness.
Tx:19.83 You who are dedicated to the incorruptible have been given  through your acceptance the power to release from corruption. What
Tx:19.97  the ego that led you here. No obstacle to peace can be surmounted  through its help. It does not open up its secrets and bid you look on
Tx:19.97  innocence born of complete forgiveness of each other's illusions and  through the eyes of faith, which sees them not.
Tx:19.110  Here is the only purpose that gives this world and the long journey  through this world whatever meaning lies in them. Beyond this they
Tx:20.6 Gifts are not made  through bodies if they be truly given and received. For bodies can
Tx:20.14  the thorns and nails, and his strong arm is free to guide you safely  through them and beyond. Walk with him now rejoicing, for the savior
Tx:20.15 Here is your savior and your friend, released from crucifixion  through your vision and free to lead you now where he would be. He
Tx:20.19  Do you like what you have made—a world of murder and attack  through which you thread your timid way through constant dangers,
Tx:20.19  a world of murder and attack through which you thread your timid way  through constant dangers, alone and frightened, hoping at most that
Tx:20.20  you not wondered what the world is really like; how it would look  through happy eyes? The world you see is but a judgment on yourself.
Tx:20.23  its arrogance and yet so tiny and so meaningless it slips unnoticed  through the universe of truth, becomes your guide. To it you turn to
Tx:20.31  And thus their freedom is established and maintained. It is upheld  through all temptation to imprison and to be imprisoned. It is of
Tx:20.38  made glad. Forget not Who has given you the gifts you give, and  through your not forgetting this will you remember Who gave the gifts
Tx:20.40  Father, and you will recognize it as you receive his Father's gift  through him. What is in him will shine so brightly in your grateful
Tx:20.41  would do? There is but one. The little breath of eternity that runs  through time like golden light is all the same—nothing before it,
Tx:20.43  the gift in both of you will offer and receive it for you both. And  through His vision will you see it, and through His understanding
Tx:20.43  receive it for you both. And through His vision will you see it, and  through His understanding recognize it and love it as your own.
Tx:20.48  relationships. The body is the ego's chosen weapon for seeking power  through relationships. And its relationships must be unholy, for what
Tx:20.54  safe return. Here is the way to true relationships held gently open,  through which you walk together, leaving the body thankfully behind
Tx:20.65 The body cannot be looked upon except  through judgment. To see the body is the sign that you lack vision
Tx:20.65  serve His purpose. How can a holy relationship achieve its purpose  through the means of sin? Judgment you taught yourself; vision is
Tx:20.67  is given you who see your brother sinless. Truth is restored to you  through your desire, as it was lost to you through your desire for
Tx:20.67  Truth is restored to you through your desire, as it was lost to you  through your desire for something else. Open the holy place which you
Tx:20.72  it in any form and seeing it everywhere, in everything. Look  through its eyes, and everything will stand condemned before you. All
Tx:21.3  and fall because of what they did not recognize, or walk unharmed  through open doorways which they thought were closed. And so it is
Tx:21.3  the stones you did not recognize, but fail to be aware you can go  through the doors you thought were closed but which stand open before
Tx:21.5 There is no need to learn  through pain. And gentle lessons are acquired joyously and are
Tx:21.6  it. They think they know their way about in it. They learned it, not  through joyous lessons, but through the stern necessity of limits
Tx:21.6  way about in it. They learned it, not through joyous lessons, but  through the stern necessity of limits they believed they could not
Tx:21.6  their choice is that or nothing. They hate the world they learned  through pain. And everything they think is in it serves to remind
Tx:21.32  and vision are the means by which the goal of holiness is reached.  Through them the Holy Spirit leads you to the real world and away
Tx:21.32  is reached. In Heaven they are unknown. Yet Heaven is reached  through them.
Tx:21.77  attack. And what is this decision but the choice whether to see him  through the body's eyes or let him be revealed to you through vision?
Tx:21.77  to see him through the body's eyes or let him be revealed to you  through vision? How this decision leads to its effects is not your
Tx:21.84  up the wish for the inconstant. Joy cannot be perceived except  through constant vision. And constant vision can be given only those
Tx:22.2  there's nothing left to steal and then move on. And so they wander  through a world of strangers unlike themselves, living with their
Tx:22.6  you think is you. Reason would tell you that the world you see  through eyes which are not yours must make no sense to you. To whom
Tx:22.7  you do not understand it. God has no secrets. He does not lead you  through a world of misery, waiting to tell you at the journey's end
Tx:22.8  you blind, dependent on the self you think you made to lead you  through the world it made for you.
Tx:22.10  But what he hears and does not understand will be his native tongue,  through which he will communicate with those around him, and they
Tx:22.11  by anything except yourself. For no two people can unite except  through Christ, Whose vision sees them one.
Tx:22.13  have been restored to those that join, for this they could not do  through bodies. What, then, has joined them? Reason will tell you
Tx:22.13  them? Reason will tell you that they must have seen each other  through a vision not of the body and communicated in a language the
Tx:22.14 Here is the first direct perception that you have made. You made it  through awareness older than perception and yet reborn in just an
Tx:22.21  let the Holy Spirit's purpose be accomplished, they can be used. And  through their use will you gain faith in them. Yet to the ego this
Tx:22.30  see your errors and make way for their correction. For reason sees  through errors, telling you what you thought was real is not. Reason
Tx:22.31  so thick it would be madness to attempt to pass it. Yet reason sees  through it easily because it is an error. The form it takes cannot
Tx:22.34  they represent left not its maker, and it is their maker that sees  through them. What was its maker's goal but not to see? For this the
Tx:22.44  heavy-seeming block, and you will learn how easily your fingers slip  through its nothingness. It is no solid wall. And only an illusion
Tx:22.49  of immovability be long defended from what is quietly passed  through and gone beyond?
Tx:22.56  And who would fail to recognize a gift he let be laid in Heaven  through himself? The gentle service that you give the Holy Spirit is
Tx:22.57  could there be you will not recognize as a mistake—a shadow  through which you walk completely undismayed? God would let nothing
Tx:22.58 You will see your value  through each other's eyes, and each one is released as he beholds his
Tx:22.58  his savior in place of the attacker who he thought was there.  Through this releasing is the world released. This is your part in
Tx:23.6  of Heaven. How beautiful it is to walk clean and redeemed and happy  through a world in bitter need of the redemption that your innocence
Tx:23.14  is the birth of fear. Yet what is born of nothing cannot win reality  through battle. Why would you fill your world with conflicts with
Tx:23.31  You who believe you walk in sanity, with feet on solid ground and  through a world where meaning can be found, consider this: [These are
Tx:23.42  it may seem to be, a blessing and a sign the Voice for God speaks  through you to your brother? The wrapping does not make the gift you
Tx:24.25  in place of yours. How could this readiness be reached save  through the sight of all your misery and the awareness that your plan
Tx:24.25  failed and will forever fail to bring you peace and joy of any kind?  Through this despair you travel now, yet it is but illusion of
Tx:24.46  ears may hear no more the sound of battle and of death. He reaches  through them, holding out His hand that everyone may bless all living
Tx:24.53  made for all it looks upon. And that is made, not of itself, but  through the Voice that speaks for God in everything that lives and
Tx:24.55  yours to look upon. Yet will you choose in countless situations and  through time which seems to have no end until the truth be your
Tx:24.61  must apply to what you do with it as your ally. For what you do  through Christ it does not know. To Him this judgment makes no sense
Tx:24.71  itself and no escape within its sight. Its course is sure when seen  through its own eyes. It grows and withers, flourishes and dies. And
Tx:25.4  mind is His. And so it must be yours. His holiness directs the body  through the mind at one with Him. And you are manifest unto your holy
Tx:25.7  may release all that it looks upon unto itself. Its radiance shines  through each body that it looks upon and brushes all its darkness
Tx:25.7  light merely by looking past it to the light. The veil is lifted  through its gentleness, and nothing hides the face of Christ from its
Tx:25.8  the link that has been given you to join the truth may reach to you  through what you understand. Father and Son and Holy Spirit are as
Tx:25.38  But what is there to see by searching for your savior, seeing Him  through sightless eyes?
Tx:25.40  to him alone. Nor can it be regained unless the way is shown to him  through you that you may find it, walking by his side.
Tx:25.42  for you. In your forgiveness will you understand His love for you;  through your attack believe He hates you, thinking Heaven must be
Tx:25.82  to this course. For miracles depend on justice. Not as it is seen  through this world's eyes, but as God knows it, and as knowledge is
Tx:26.3 The little that the body fences off becomes the self, preserved  through sacrifice of all the rest. And all the rest must lose this
Tx:26.10  same to Him, because each one is solved in just the same respect and  through the same approach. The aspects which need solving do not
Tx:26.33  in time and know not it is gone, the Holy Spirit still guides you  through the infinitely small and senseless maze you still perceive in
Tx:26.44  and made it real. And it is real to you. It is not nothing and  through its perceived reality has entered all the world of sick
Tx:27.45  has it been proved and must compel belief. No one is healed  through double messages. If you wish only to be healed, you heal.
Tx:27.45  this possible. But if you are afraid of healing, then it cannot come  through you. The only thing that is required for a healing is a lack
Tx:29.1  let Him not come too close, and leave a gap between you and His love  through which you can escape if there be need for you to flee.
Tx:29.23  darkness may be lifted from your mind. When light has come to him  through your forgiveness, he will not forget his savior, leaving him
Tx:29.23  your face he saw the light that he would keep beside him as he walks  through darkness to the everlasting light.
Tx:29.70  judgment, for he has judged no one, nor has sought to be released  through judgment from what judgment must impose. And all the while he
Tx:30.2  with the ones you recognize, a set begins to form which sees you  through the rest. It is not wise to let yourself become preoccupied
Tx:30.33  knows is but your knowledge, saved for you that you may do your will  through Him. God asks you do your will. He joins with you. He did not
Tx:30.35  thus the rule of fear established there. Now hear God speak to you  through Him Who is His Voice and yours as well, reminding you that it
Tx:30.35  Himself in all creation's birth. Remember He Who has created you and  through your will created everything. Not one created thing but gives
Tx:30.45  know not it is there. Yet still and white and lovely will it shine  through all eternity. There was no time it was not there; no instant
Tx:30.88  Do not continue thus, my brothers. We have one Interpreter. And  through His use of symbols are we joined so that they mean the same
Tx:31.74  sight. All things you see are images because you look on them as  through a barrier which dims your sight and warps your vision, so
Tx:31.78  holiness while you see him apart from yours? For holiness is seen  through holy eyes that look upon the innocence within and thus expect
Tx:31.93  and in constant fear. For it is given you to join with him, and  through the Christ in you unveil his eyes and let him look upon the
Tx:31.95  they choose. And I give thanks for them. Salvation's song will echo  through the world with every choice they make. For we are one in
W1:26.1  you believe that you can really attack. And what would have effects  through you must also have effects on you. It is this law that will
W1:35.2  environment. What you see while you believe you are in it is seen  through the eyes of the image. This is not vision. Images cannot see.
W1:35.4  All of them are equally unreal because you do not look upon yourself  through the eyes of holiness.
W1:37.1  in the world or why you are here. Your purpose is to see the world  through your own holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed
W1:37.1  No one loses; nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains  through your holy vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because
W1:37.2  why he is losing. Yet is his wholeness restored to his awareness  through your vision. Your holiness blesses him by asking nothing of
W1:38.1  you as a Son of God, at one with the Mind of his Creator.  Through your holiness, the power of God is made manifest. Through
W1:38.1  Creator. Through your holiness, the power of God is made manifest.  Through your holiness the power of God is made available. And there
W1:41.2  Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate  through you and out into the whole world. It will cure all sorrow and
W1:41.4  first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud and to go  through it to the light beyond.
W1:42.2  are and in whatever circumstances you find yourself. Your passage  through time and space is not random. You cannot but be in the right
W1:43.9  I see  through the eyes of forgiveness. I see the world as blessed. The
W1:44.5  made up. Properly speaking, this is the release from hell. Perceived  through the ego's eyes, it is loss of identity and a descent into
W1:49.1 It is quite possible to listen to God's Voice all  through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any
W1:50.3  unfailing. This is the answer to whatever confronts you today.  Through the Love of God in you, you can resolve all seeming
W1:54.6  has been changed. I would behold the proof that what has been done  through me has enabled love to replace fear, laughter to replace
W1:58.2  guilty. I can accept the innocence that is the truth about me. Seen  through understanding eyes, the holiness of the world is all I see,
W1:59.2  me in absolute peace? How can I suffer when love and joy surround me  through Him? Let me not cherish illusions about myself. I am perfect
W1:59.4  I can see apart from Him. It is these I choose when I try to see  through the body's eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been given me
W1:59.4  Yet the vision of Christ has been given me to replace them. It is  through this vision that I choose to see.
W1:59.5  God is the only Light. Therefore if I am to see, it must be  through Him. I have tried to define what seeing is, and I have been
W1:60.3 [47] God is the Strength in which I trust. It is not my own strength  through which I forgive. It is through the strength of God in me,
W1:60.3  I trust. It is not my own strength through which I forgive. It is  through the strength of God in me, which I am remembering as I
W1:60.5 [49] God's Voice speaks to me all  through the day. There is not a moment in which God's Voice ceases to
W1:62.1  is the demonstration that you are the light of the world.  Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself return to your
W1:63.1  you who can learn to recognize the means for letting this be done  through you! What purpose could you have that would bring you greater
W1:63.4 The light of the world brings peace to every mind  through my forgiveness. I am the means God has appointed for the
W1:64.4 The world's salvation awaits your forgiveness, because  through it does the Son of God escape from all illusions and thus
W1:64.5  us remind ourselves of it in the morning and again at night and all  through the day as well.
W1:66.10 Thus it must be that your function is established by God  through His Voice or is made by the ego which you have made to
W1:67.6  about yourself. Yet perhaps you will succeed in going past that and  through the interval of thoughtlessness to the awareness of a blazing
W1:69.5  seem to be all there is to see. Therefore you do not attempt to go  through them and past them, which is the only way in which you would
W1:69.6  feel them resting on your cheeks and forehead and eyelids as you go  through them. Go on; clouds cannot stop you.
W1:69.8  is given you, and you will yet receive it. Try, as you attempt to go  through the clouds to the light, to hold this confidence in your
W1:69.8  with God must succeed. Then let the power of God work in you and  through you, that His Will and yours may be done.
W1:70.12  clouds and in the light beyond. Remember that you will have to go  through the clouds before you can reach the light. But remember also
W1:72.2  keeping it separate and alone and unable to reach other minds except  through the body which was made to imprison it. The limit on
W1:76.3  think a small round pellet or some fluid pushed into your veins  through a sharpened needle will ward off death. You really think you
W1:76.12 Let us today open God's channels to Him and let His Will extend  through us to Him. Thus is creation endlessly increased. His Voice
W1:78.6  already. He will be the one of whom we ask God's Son be shown to us.  Through seeing him behind the grievances that we have held against
W1:78.10  from him to you, seeing no separation in God's Son. And what you see  through Him will free you both.
W1:78.11  the sight of him. You have allowed the Holy Spirit to express  through him the role God gave Him that you might be saved. God thanks
W1:R2.3  will has power over all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you  through and carry you beyond them all.
W1:81.4  the light of the world in me. Let the light of the world shine  through this appearance. This shadow will vanish before the light.
W1:81.5 [62] Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world. It is  through accepting my function that I will see the light in me. And in
W1:82.2 [63] The light of the world brings peace to every mind  through my forgiveness. My forgiveness is the means by which the
W1:82.2  is the means by which the light of the world finds expression  through me. My forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of
W1:82.4  to yours, [name]. I share the light of the world with you, [name].  Through my forgiveness I can see this as it is.
W1:90.2  the solution is a miracle. And I invite the solution to come to me  through my forgiveness of the grievance and my welcome of the miracle
W1:91.13  and all His thoughts. It is from Them your strength will come. It is  through Their strong support that you will feel the strength in you.
W1:92.3  His strength denies your weakness. It is your weakness that sees  through the body's eyes, peering about in darkness to behold the
W1:92.3  the sad, the poor, the starving, and the joyless. These are seen  through eyes which cannot see and cannot bless.
W1:95.17  the veil of darkness from the world and let the light in you come  through to teach the world the truth about itself. You are One Self,
W1:96.9  search for Him within your mind. Salvation comes from this One Self  through Him Who is the bridge between your mind and it.
W1:97.5  with Him you are the Spirit that abides in Him, and Which calls  through His Voice to every living thing; offers His sight to everyone
W1:97.8  the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them echo round the world  through Him:
W1:97.10 Expressed  through you, the Holy Spirit will accept this gift which you received
W1:99.11  let His Light seek out and lighten up all darkened spots and shine  through them to join them to the rest. It is God's Will your mind be
W1:101.1  just and cannot be escaped. Salvation thus cannot be purchased but  through suffering.
W1:105.6  what completes Him must complete His Son as well. He cannot give  through loss. No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace
W1:106.2 Listen and hear your Father speak to you  through His appointed Voice, Which silences the thunder of the
W1:106.5  and wakes all those who sleep and cannot see. God calls to them  through you. He needs your voice to speak to them, for who could
W1:106.5  to them, for who could reach God's Son except his Father calling  through your Self?
W1:106.7  and you will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the world  through you. The Bringer of all miracles has need that you receive
W1:106.12 Today the holy Word of God is kept  through your receiving it to give away, so you can teach the world
W1:107.11  to Him today and make your pledge to let His function be fulfilled  through you. To share His function is to share His joy. His
W1:108.12  of one to whom to give your gifts. He represents the others, and  through him you give to all.
W1:109.3 “I rest in God.” Completely undismayed this thought will carry you  through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past loss and death,
W1:109.4  you gave your voice to God and now you rest in Him and let Him speak  through you.
W1:111.3  Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one. I see  through strength, the gift of God to me. My weakness is the dark His
W1:120.2 [109] I rest in God. I rest in God today and let Him work in me and  through me, while I rest in Him in quiet and in perfect certainty.
W1:121.6  a Teacher other than yourself, who represents the other Self in you.  Through Him you learn how to forgive the self you think you made and
W1:121.7  your own how to forgive itself. Each one awaits release from hell  through you and turns to you imploringly for Heaven here and now. It
W1:121.7  as its hope, do you become your own. The unforgiving mind must learn  through your forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. And as you
W1:121.9  are the same. Yet we will try to learn today that they are one  through practicing forgiving toward one whom you think of as an enemy
W1:121.11  never noticed. Try to find some little spark of brightness shining  through the ugly picture which you hold of him. Look at this picture
W1:122.14  this reminder, which has power to hold your gifts in your awareness  through the day:
W1:125.2 This world will change  through you. No other means can save it, for God's plan is simply
W1:127.8  dark illusion of your own reality and what love means. He will shine  through your idle thoughts today and help you understand the truth of
W1:131.2  meaningless as they are. Who can use such senseless means and hope  through them to gain in anything? Where can they lead? And what could
W1:131.17  Heaven sent you that you might approach this door some day and  through His aid slip effortlessly past it to the light. Today that
W1:132.20 Throughout the day, increase the freedom sent  through your ideas to all the world, and say whenever you are tempted
W1:133.1  in teaching there is benefit, particularly after you have gone  through what seems theoretical and far from what the student has
W1:134.7  illusions of the world. It sees their nothingness and looks right  through the thousand forms in which they may appear. It looks on lies
W1:134.19 Forgiveness should be practiced  through the day, for there will be so many times when you forget its
W1:134.19  and attack yourself. When this occurs, allow your mind to see  through this illusion as you tell yourself:
W1:135.9  apart from you, and it becomes a healthy, serviceable instrument  through which the mind can operate until its usefulness is over. Who
W1:135.12  mind does not plan. It carries out the plans which it receives  through listening to Wisdom that is not its own. It waits until it
W1:137.16 Let healing be  through you this very day. And as you rest in quiet, be prepared to
W1:138.5  the framework of this course. Ours are teaching goals to be attained  through learning how to reach them, what they are, and what they

W1:R4.10  word shine with the meaning God has given it as it was given to you  through His Voice. Let each idea that you review that day give you
W1:R4.12  made the day a special time of blessing and of happiness for us and  through our faithfulness restored the world from darkness to the
W1:151.2  the world you see. You do not really question what is shown you  through the body's eyes. Nor do you ask why you believe it, even
W1:151.16  lilies on the world, replacing witnesses to sin and death.  Through your transfiguration is the world redeemed and joyfully
W1:151.17  the joyous news that truth has no illusions and the peace of God,  through us, belongs to everyone.
W1:153.9  fulfill our chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy blessing  through the world.
W1:153.19  abides in us. We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us  through the day and never leaves our weakness unsupported by His
W1:154.3 It is  through His ability to hear One Voice Which is His own that you
W1:154.4 It is this joining  through the Voice of God of Father and of Son that sets apart
W1:154.11  may recognize His gifts to us. He needs our voice that He may speak  through us. He needs our hands to hold His messages and carry them to
W1:155.5  their footsteps on the way which God has opened up to you, and them  through you.
W1:155.6  to grasp. Now can the truth, which walks ahead of you, speak to them  through illusion, for the road leads past illusion now, while on the
W1:157.9  the holiest. This you will never teach, for you attained it not  through learning. Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what
W1:164.8  in which our Savior looks on us and offer it the freedom given us  through His forgiving vision, now our own. Open the curtain in your
W1:168.6  His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but the words He gave to us  through His Own Voice, His Word, His Love:
W1:169.11  are laid, to be returned by you from holy instants you receive  through grace in your experience to all who see the light that
W1:170.13 Now do your eyes belong to Christ, and He looks  through them. Now your voice belongs to God and echoes His. And now
W1:R5.11  them to the world. You are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands,  through which I save the world. The Self from Which I call to you is
W1:184.7  of the world. It is a phase of learning everyone who comes must go  through. But the sooner he perceives on what it rests, how
W1:184.14  Which He has given them. It is this Name we use in practicing. And  through Its use, all foolish separations disappear which kept us
W1:188.2  or from a truer source, that is not but the shadow of the seen  through inward vision. There perception starts, and there it ends. It
W1:189.2  which to stay a while. It blesses you throughout the day and watches  through the night as silent guardian of your holy sleep. It sees
W1:189.3  the Love of God reveals. It is so different from the world you see  through darkened eyes of malice and of fear that one belies the
W1:189.9  to him. He does not need His Son to show Him how to find His way.  Through every opened door His love shines outward from its home
W1:193.11  remains an unforgiveness hiding in the mind which sees the pain  through eyes the mind directs.
W1:198.15  us now. For He would give to us the gift that God has given us  through Him today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has
W1:199.7  as bound and helpless and afraid. Let love replace their fears  through you. Accept salvation now, and give your mind to Him Who
W1:200.2  chaos, joy of pain, and Heaven out of hell. Attempt no more to win  through losing, nor to die to live. You cannot but be asking for
W1:200.3  have but to look with open eyes to find that Heaven lies before you,  through a door that opens easily to welcome you?
W1:217.1  Who should give thanks for my salvation but myself? And how but  through salvation can I find the Self to Whom my thanks are due? I am
W1:218.1  condemnation injures me. My condemnation keeps my vision dark, and  through my sightless eyes I cannot see the vision of my glory. Yet

W2:I.6  the journey's end. Accept these little gifts of thanks from us, as  through Christ's vision we behold a world beyond the one we made and

W2:WS.4  holds a hint of all the glory given us by God. The grass is pushing  through the soil, the trees are budding now, and birds have come to
W2:237.2  ears which listen to the Voice of God today. Father, I come to You  through Him Who is Your Son and my true Self as well. Amen.
W2:WIW.5  function. We must save the world. For we who made it must behold it  through the eyes of Christ, that what was made to die be restored to
W2:247.2  all to me as part of You and my own Self as well. Today I honor You  through them, and thus I hope this day to recognize my Self.
W2:256.1 The way to God is  through forgiveness here. There is no other way. If sin had not been
W2:260.1  Identity. And let my sinlessness arise again before Christ's vision,  through which I would look upon my brothers and myself today.
W2:263.2  still remain outside the gate of Heaven, let us look on all we see  through holy vision and the eyes of Christ. Let all appearances seem
W2:269.1  and look beyond them. It is given me to find a new perception  through the Guide You gave to me and through His lessons to surpass
W2:269.1  me to find a new perception through the Guide You gave to me and  through His lessons to surpass perception and return to truth. I ask
W2:270.2 The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and  through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today.

W2:WIRW.1  it stands for what is opposite to what you made. Your world is seen  through eyes of fear and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind.
W2:WIRW.1  of terror to your mind. The real world cannot be perceived except  through eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a world where terror is
W2:WIRW.2  your world contains. The real world shows a world seen differently,  through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace. Nothing but rest is
W2:291.1 Christ's vision looks  through me today. His sight shows me all things forgiven and at peace
W2:296.1  that all the world may listen to Your Voice and hear Your Word  through me. I am resolved to let You speak through me, for I would
W2:296.1  Voice and hear Your Word through me. I am resolved to let You speak  through me, for I would use no words but Yours and have no thoughts

W2:329.2  His, and all of us are one because His Will is shared by all of us.  Through it we recognize that we are one. Through it we find our way

W2:FL.6  we did not understand and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons  through the Voice of His own Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would

Tx:12.29  without meaning. It is evident that the Holy Spirit's perception of  time is the exact opposite of the ego's. The reason is equally clear,
Tx:12.29  ego's. The reason is equally clear, for they perceive the goal of  time as diametrically opposed.
Tx:12.30  the need for it unnecessary. Thus does He regard the function of  time as temporary, serving only His teaching function, which is
Tx:12.30  by definition. His emphasis is therefore on the only aspect of  time which can extend to the infinite, for now is the closest
Tx:12.31 The ego, on the other hand, regards the function of  time as one of extending itself in place of eternity, for like the
Tx:12.31  eternity, for like the Holy Spirit, the ego interprets the goal of  time as its own. The continuity of past and future under its
Tx:12.31  future under its direction is the only purpose the ego perceives in  time, and it closes over the present so that no gap in its own
Tx:12.31  own continuity can occur. Its continuity, then, would keep you in  time, while the Holy Spirit would release you from it. It is His
Tx:12.32 You too will interpret the function of  time as you interpret yours. If you accept your function in the world
Tx:12.32  as you interpret yours. If you accept your function in the world of  time as healing, you will emphasize only the aspect of time in which

Tx:12.32  present and hold on to the past to ensure a destructive future. And  time will be as you interpret it, for of itself it is nothing.
Tx:12.48  Time can release as well as imprison, depending on whose
Tx:12.50  is real. It extends to all aspects of consciousness at the same  time and thus enables them to reach each other. The present is before
Tx:12.50  and thus enables them to reach each other. The present is before  time was and will be when time is no more. In it is everything that

Tx:12.70  to make certain that you will not use them on behalf of lingering in  time. He knows that you are not at home there, and He wills no delay
Tx:12.75  us and to yourself. This is the only real need to be fulfilled in  time. Salvation from the world lies only here. My peace I give you.
Tx:12.76  the Mind of God's most holy Son, where it cannot abide. Healing in  time is needed, for joy cannot establish its eternal reign where

Tx:13.5  Everyone seen without the past thus brings you nearer to the end of  time by bringing healed and healing sight into the darkness and
Tx:13.8  we will leave no one untouched and no one left alone. And suddenly  time will be over, and we will all unite in the eternity of God the

Tx:15.40  and give perfect communication. This means, however, that it is a  time in which your mind is open, both to receive and give. It is the

Tx:15.92 It is in your power in  time to delay the perfect union of the Father and the Son. For in
Tx:15.92  this world, the attraction of guilt does stand between them. Neither  time nor season means anything in eternity. But here it is the Holy
Tx:15.92  is the gift I gave to you. Release me as I will your release. The  time of Christ we celebrate together, for it has no meaning if we are
Tx:15.93 The holy instant is truly the  time of Christ. For in this liberating instant, no guilt is laid upon
Tx:15.94  that I was born to give. Give it to me, that you may have it. The  time of Christ is the time appointed for the gift of freedom, offered

Tx:15.102  surrounds it. No fear can touch the host who cradles God in the  time of Christ, for the Host is as holy as the Perfect Innocence
Tx:15.108  comes of itself. Let no despair darken the joy of Christmas, for the  time of Christ is meaningless apart from joy. Let us join in
Tx:15.108  to perceive we are deprived of nothing? Such is the message of the  time of Christ, which I give you that you may give it and return it
Tx:15.108  give it and return it to the Father, Who gave it to me. For in the  time of Christ, communication is restored, and He joins us in the

Tx:16.63 Across the bridge, it is so different! For a  time the body is still seen but not exclusively, as it is seen here.
Tx:16.65 Fear not that you will be abruptly lifted up and hurled into reality.  Time is kind, and if you use it for reality, it will keep gentle pace
Tx:16.65  which precedes the actual transition is far shorter than the  time it took to fix your minds so firmly on illusions. Delay will
Tx:16.76 For a  time you may attempt to bring illusions into the holy instant to

Tx:17.18  Time is indeed unkind to the unholy relationship. For time is cruel
Tx:17.18 Time is indeed unkind to the unholy relationship. For  time is cruel in the ego's hands, as it is kind when used for
Tx:17.37  of eternity. It is a picture of timelessness, set in a frame of  time. If you focus on the picture, you will realize that it was only
Tx:17.37  of Heaven lies in this instant, borrowed from eternity and set in  time for you.
Tx:17.40 The other picture is lightly framed, for  time cannot contain eternity. There is no distraction here. The
Tx:17.45  invitation is accepted immediately, and the Holy Spirit wastes no  time in introducing the practical results of asking Him to enter. At
Tx:17.47  more slowly, for the contrast would be obscured and the ego given  time to reinterpret each slow step according to its liking. Only a
Tx:17.48 This is the  time for faith. You let this goal be set for you. That was an act of
Tx:17.48  guidance? Have faith in each other in what but seems to be a trying  time. The goal is set. And your relationship has sanity as its
Tx:17.54  however compelling it may be, is easily forgotten if you allow  time to close over it. It must be kept shining and gracious in your
Tx:17.54  over it. It must be kept shining and gracious in your awareness of  time but not concealed within it. The instant remains. But where are
Tx:17.54  you have denied yourself its benefit. You reinforce this every  time you attack each other, for the attack must blind you to
Tx:18.4  it was. That one error, which brought truth to illusion, infinity to  time, and life to death, was all you ever made. Your whole world
Tx:18.16  they do you order. No limit on substitution is laid upon you. For a  time, it seems as if the world were given you, to make it what you
Tx:18.19  is but another form of this same world you see in dreams. All your  time is spent in dreaming. Your sleeping and your waking dreams have
Tx:18.30  brought it. We are made whole in our desire to make whole. Let not  time worry you, for all the fear that you experience is really past.
Tx:18.30  time worry you, for all the fear that you experience is really past.  Time has been readjusted to help us do together what your separate
Tx:18.47 Whichever is saner at the  time when the threat is perceived should remember how deep is his
Tx:18.60  in space, and of your differences in size and seeming quality.  Time is not relevant; it can occur with something past, present, or
Tx:18.61  of what happens in the holy instant; the lifting of the barriers of  time and space, the sudden experience of peace and joy, and, above
Tx:18.65  experienced just now. Only its past and future make it seem real.  Time controls it entirely, for sin is never present. In any single

Tx:18.66  to teach more than they learned in time, but it does aim at saving  time. You are attempting to follow a very long road to the goal you
Tx:18.66  succeed because of their purpose. Yet the means are tedious and very  time consuming, for all of them look to the future for release from a
Tx:18.67  in purpose but in means. A holy relationship is a means of saving  time. One instant spent together restores the universe to both of
Tx:18.68  release which everyone will one day find in his own way, at his own  time. We do not need this time. Time has been saved for you because

Tx:18.68  together. This is the special means this course is using to save you  time. You are not making use of the course if you insist on using
Tx:18.68  have served others well, neglecting what was made for you. Save  time for me by only this one preparation and practice, doing nothing
Tx:18.69  door through which you slip past centuries of effort and escape from  time. This is the way in which sin loses all attraction right now.
Tx:18.69  is the way in which sin loses all attraction right now. For here is  time denied and past and future gone. Who need do nothing has no need
Tx:18.69  denied and past and future gone. Who need do nothing has no need for  time. To do nothing is to rest and make a place within you where the
Tx:18.96  needs to be undone. Love is not learned because there never was a  time in which you knew it not. Learning is useless in the Presence of
Tx:19.16  eternal and learn how not to interfere with it and make it slave to  time. For what you think you do to the eternal you do to you. Whom
Tx:19.28  a call for help that you would keep unheard and thus unanswered? In  time the Holy Spirit clearly sees the Son of God can make mistakes.
Tx:19.28  Yet you do not share His recognition of the difference between  time and eternity. And when correction is completed, time is eternity.
Tx:19.28  between time and eternity. And when correction is completed,  time is eternity.

Tx:20.4  Friend and celebrate his holiness along with me. For Easter is the  time of your salvation, along with mine.

Tx:20.12 Your home has called to you since  time began, nor have you ever failed entirely to hear. You heard but
Tx:20.35 You may wonder how you can be at peace when, while you are in  time, there is so much that must be done before the way to peace is
Tx:20.37  to what was held outside them and finding what was lost. Only in  time can anything be lost, and never lost forever. So do the parts of
Tx:20.37  never lost forever. So do the parts of God's Son gradually join in  time, and with each joining is the end of time brought nearer. Each
Tx:20.37  Son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the end of  time brought nearer. Each miracle of joining is a mighty herald of
Tx:20.38  herald of eternity sings of the end of sin and fear. Each speaks in  time of what is far beyond it. Two voices raised together call to the

Tx:20.42 You look upon each holy instant as a different point in  time. It never changes. All that it ever held or will ever hold is
Tx:20.52  your relationships were made meaningless. In that unholy instant,  time was born and bodies made to house the mad idea and give it the
Tx:20.52  so it seemed to have a home that held together for a little while in  time and vanished. For what could house this mad idea against reality
Tx:20.55  around the mind, keeping it prisoner in a tiny spot of space and  time, beholden unto death and given but an instant in which to sigh
Tx:20.56  and you have learned you really want but one. This is no  time for sadness. Perhaps confusion, but hardly discouragement.
Tx:20.62  to make the unholy relationship seem real. The unholy instant is the  time of bodies. But the purpose here is sin. It cannot be attained
Tx:21.45 This part has seen your brother and recognized him perfectly since  time began. And it desired nothing but to join with him and to be

Tx:25.47  so they must be one. Forgiveness is the only function meaningful in  time. It is the means the Holy Spirit uses to translate specialness
Tx:25.47  complete and every function of this world completed with it. Then is  time no more.
Tx:25.48 Yet while in  time, there is still much to do. And each must do what is allotted
Tx:25.48  for on his part does all the plan depend. He has a special part in  time, for so he chose, and choosing it, he made it for himself. His
Tx:25.49  understand that he is safe, as he has always been and will remain in  time and in eternity alike. This is the function given each of you
Tx:25.56  same. The form is suited to your special needs and to the special  time and place in which you think you find yourself and where you can
Tx:25.56  you think you find yourself and where you can be free of place and  time and all that you believe must limit you. The Son of God cannot
Tx:25.56  that you believe must limit you. The Son of God cannot be bound by  time nor place nor anything God did not will. Yet if His Will is seen

Tx:26.8  He is the same forever—born again each instant, untouched by  time, and far beyond the reach of any sacrifice of life or death. For
Tx:26.10  then recur again and yet again until it has been answered for all  time and will not rise again in any form. And only then are you
Tx:26.12  vanish one by one without regard to size, complexity, or place and  time, or any attribute which you perceive that makes each one seem
Tx:26.14  punish him because you will not look at what is there to see? Each  time you keep a problem for yourself to solve or judge that it is one
Tx:26.19  and Heaven. It is not a place, and when you reach it is apart from  time. Here is the meeting-place where thoughts are brought together—
Tx:26.20  the gate where Oneness is. Salvation is a borderland where place and  time and choice have meaning still, and yet it can be seen that they
Tx:26.30  teacher leads. There are but two directions you can take while  time remains and choice is meaningful. For never will another road be
Tx:26.31 Nothing is ever lost but  time, which in the end is [nothing. It] is but a little hindrance to
Tx:26.32  to conflict with it. And what He would replace has been replaced.  Time lasted but an instant in your mind, with no effect upon
Tx:26.32  an instant in your mind, with no effect upon eternity. And so is all  time passed and everything exactly as it was before the way to
Tx:26.32  as it was before the way to nothingness was made. The tiny tick of  time in which the first mistake was made, and all of them within that
Tx:26.32  and all of them that came within the first. And in that tiny instant  time was gone, for that was all it ever was. What God gave Answer to
Tx:26.33 To you who still believe you live in  time and know not it is gone, the Holy Spirit still guides you
Tx:26.33  the infinitely small and senseless maze you still perceive in  time, though it has long since gone. You think you live in what is
Tx:26.34  world appear to rise. So very long ago, for such a tiny interval of  time that not one note in Heaven's song was missed.
Tx:26.35  that one instant still called back, as if it could be made again in  time. You keep an ancient memory before your eyes. And he who lives
Tx:26.36 [Forgiveness is the great release from  time. It is the key to learning that the past is over. Madness speaks
Tx:26.36  a distant shore and dream himself across an ocean to a place and  time that have long since gone by? How real a hindrance can this
Tx:26.36  he has. Yet can he still imagine he is elsewhere and in another  time. In the extreme, he can delude himself that this is true and
Tx:26.37  to hear where he is now? And how much can his own delusions about  time and place affect a change in where he really is? The unforgiven
Tx:26.38 Forget the  time of terror that has been so long ago corrected and undone. Can
Tx:26.39  allow His Son to lose his way along a road long since a memory of  time gone by? [This course will teach you only what is now.] A
Tx:26.41 The shadow voices do not change the laws of  time or of eternity. They come from what is past and gone and hinder
Tx:26.41  here and now. The real world is the second part of the hallucination  time and death are real and have existence which can be perceived.
Tx:26.41  which can be perceived. This terrible illusion was denied in but the  time it took for God to give His answer to illusion for all time and
Tx:26.41  but the time it took for God to give His answer to illusion for all  time and every circumstance. And then it was no more, to be
Tx:26.42  that each minute holds, you but relive the single instant when the  time of terror was replaced by love. And so you die each day to live
Tx:26.42  of an instant gone by long ago, which cannot be relived. And all of  time is but the mad belief that what is over is still here and now.
Tx:26.49  to all its forms. God's answer is eternal, though it operates in  time where it is needed. Yet because it is of God, the laws of time
Tx:26.49  in time where it is needed. Yet because it is of God, the laws of  time do not affect its workings. It is in this world, but not a part
Tx:26.54  you impose between your brother and yourself. They limit you to  time and place and give a little space to you, another little space
Tx:26.68  problem that you have is that you see an interval between the  time when you forgive and will receive the benefits of trust. This
Tx:26.68  keep between yourselves that you might be a little separate. For  time and space are one illusion which takes different forms. If it
Tx:26.68  If it has been projected beyond your minds, you think of it as  time. The nearer it is brought to where it is, the more you think of
Tx:26.69  you would keep apart from one another, and this space you see as  time because you still believe you are external to each other. This
Tx:26.70  afraid of it, believing that the risk of loss is great between the  time its purpose is made yours and its effects will come to you. In
Tx:26.70  it is here you fear the loss would lie. Do not project this fear to  time, for time is not the enemy that you perceive. Time is as neutral
Tx:26.70  you fear the loss would lie. Do not project this fear to time, for  time is not the enemy that you perceive. Time is as neutral as the
Tx:26.70  this fear to time, for time is not the enemy that you perceive.  Time is as neutral as the body is except in terms of what you see it
Tx:26.70  you would keep a little space between you still, you want a little  time in which forgiveness is withheld a little while. This makes the
Tx:26.70  is withheld a little while. This makes the interval between the  time in which forgiveness is withheld and given seem dangerous, with
Tx:26.71  space between you is apparent now and cannot be perceived in future  time. No more can it be overlooked except within the present. Future
Tx:26.72  It stands already here in present grace, within the only interval of  time which sin and fear have overlooked but which is all there is to
Tx:26.72  time which sin and fear have overlooked but which is all there is to  time. The working out of all correction takes no time at all.
Tx:26.72  is all there is to time. The working out of all correction takes no  time at all.
Tx:26.73  will see. They can be looked at now. Why wait till they unfold in  time and fear they may not come, although already there? You have
Tx:26.74  reason, for it is unjust and clearly hints at punishment until the  time of liberation is at hand. Given a change of purpose for the
Tx:26.75  and one form in which its outcome is perceived. This interval in  time, when retribution is perceived to be the form in which the
Tx:26.76  maintain effects of present cause must be delayed until a future  time is merely a denial of the fact that consequence and cause must
Tx:26.76  of the fact that consequence and cause must come as one. Look not to  time but to the little space between you still to be delivered from.
Tx:26.76  you still to be delivered from. And do not let it be disguised as  time and so preserved because its form is changed and what it is
Tx:27.31  then the empty space it occupies be recognized as vacant, and the  time devoted to its seeing be perceived as idly spent, a time
Tx:27.31  and the time devoted to its seeing be perceived as idly spent, a  time unoccupied.
Tx:27.32 An empty space which is not seen as filled, an unused interval of  time not seen as spent and fully occupied, becomes a silent
Tx:27.33  It lets the Holy Spirit make exchange of pictures possible until the  time when aids are meaningless and learning done. No learning aid has
Tx:27.37 Thus it must be that  time is not involved, and every problem can be answered now. Yet it

Tx:27.69  as thoughtless of his peace and happiness as is the weather or the  time of day. It loves him not but casts him as it will in any role
Tx:27.70  indeed it is, for thus are you the one decider of your destiny in  time. The choice is yours to make between a sleeping death and dreams
Tx:27.72  you do not even see, the birthplace of illusions and of fear, the  time of terror and of ancient hate, the instant of disaster, all are
Tx:27.77  united in the dust with other bodies dying like itself. In the brief  time allotted it to live, it seeks for other bodies as its friends
Tx:27.79 The body's serial adventures from the  time of birth to dying is the theme of every dream the world has ever
Tx:27.81  his attack upon himself. No one believes there really was a  time when he knew nothing of a body and could never have conceived
Tx:27.82  effects. Together, we can laugh them both away and understand that  time cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a joke to think that time
Tx:27.82  that time cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a joke to think that  time can come to circumvent eternity, which means there is no time.
Tx:27.82  that time can come to circumvent eternity, which means there is no  time.
Tx:27.83 A timelessness in which is  time made real; a part of God which can attack itself; a separate
Tx:28.4  your desire made the link, and only you have held it to a part of  time where guilt appears to linger still.
Tx:28.5 The Holy Spirit's use of memory is quite apart from  time. He does not seek to use it as a means to keep the past, but
Tx:28.5  and lived again. And thus do their effects appear to be increased by  time, which took away their cause.
Tx:28.6 Yet  time is but another phase of what does nothing. It works hand in hand
Tx:28.6  with which you seek to keep concealed the truth about yourself.  Time neither takes away nor can restore. And yet you make strange use
Tx:28.8  not be unremembered. It has never changed because there never was a  time in which He did not keep It safely in your mind. Its
Tx:28.9  reminds you of a Cause forever present, perfectly untouched by  time and interference—never changed from what It is. And you are
Tx:28.10  deny Him His effects, yet have they never been denied. There was no  time in which His Son could be condemned for what was causeless and
Tx:28.11  stops an instant and is still. It reaches gently from that quiet  time, and from the mind it healed in quiet then, to other minds to
Tx:28.11  all minds to be. Born out of sharing, there can be no pause in  time to cause the miracle delay in hastening to all unquiet minds and
Tx:28.12 He to Whom  time is given offers thanks for every quiet instant given Him. For in
Tx:28.36  falters and grows thin. Here can the lean years enter not, for  time waits not upon this feast, which has no end. For Love has set
Tx:28.52  and from illusions. Truth has left no room for them in any place or  time. For it fills every place and every time and makes them wholly
Tx:28.52  for them in any place or time. For it fills every place and every  time and makes them wholly indivisible.
Tx:28.59  though in that promise he was born. Yet God reminds him of it every  time he does not share a promise to be sick but lets his mind be
Tx:29.1 There is no  time, no place, no state where God is absent. There is nothing to be

Tx:29.4  body saves you, for it gets away from total sacrifice and gives you  time in which to build again your separate selves, which you believe
Tx:29.16  the teacher who is teaching them. The body can appear to change with  time, with sickness or with health, and with events that seem to
Tx:29.31  of sin and of illusion lingers still. There is a place in you which  time has left, and echoes of eternity are heard. There is a resting
Tx:29.39  the seasons, and the lives of men; all things that change with  time and bloom and fade will not return. Where time has set an end is
Tx:29.39  that change with time and bloom and fade will not return. Where  time has set an end is not where the eternal is. God's Son can never
Tx:29.39  by what men made of him. He will be as he was and as he is, for  time appointed not his destiny nor set the hour of his birth and
Tx:29.39  hour of his birth and death. Forgiveness will not change him. Yet  time waits upon forgiveness that the things of time may disappear
Tx:29.39  not change him. Yet time waits upon forgiveness that the things of  time may disappear because they have no use.

Tx:29.41  be preserved, excepting one. Forgiveness does not aim at keeping  time but at its ending when it has no use. Its purpose ended; it is
Tx:29.41  restored the function God established for His Son in full awareness.  Time can set no end to its fulfillment nor its changelessness. There
Tx:29.42  a little while till timelessness comes quietly to take the place of  time.
Tx:29.43 Seek not outside yourself. For it will fail, and you will weep each  time an idol falls. Heaven cannot be found where it is not, and there
Tx:29.50  succeed in making real the pictures it projects outside itself? Save  time, my brothers; learn what time is for. And speed the end of idols
Tx:29.50  it projects outside itself? Save time, my brothers; learn what  time is for. And speed the end of idols in a world made sad and sick
Tx:29.57  there is a power past omnipotence, a place beyond the infinite, a  time transcending the eternal. Here the world of idols has been set
Tx:29.57  the world of idols has been set by the idea this power and place and  time are given form and shape the world where the impossible has
Tx:29.57  to suffer loss, the timeless to be made the slaves of  time. Here does the changeless change, the peace of God, forever
Tx:29.58  idol? Nowhere! Can there be a gap in what is infinite, a place where  time can interrupt eternity? A place of darkness set where all is
Tx:29.66 There is a  time when childhood should be passed and gone forever. Seek not to
Tx:29.67  the purpose which it has. Only forgiving dreams can enter here, for  time is almost over. And the forms which enter in the dream are now
Tx:29.68  everyone remembers, though he has not heard it since before all  time began. Forgiveness, once complete, brings timelessness so close
Tx:29.68  hears this song again, he knows he never heard it not. And where is  time, when dreams of judgment have been put away?
Tx:30.1  to practice every step. Each one will help a little every  time it is attempted. And together will these steps lead you from

Tx:30.44  by your forgetting. It will always be exactly as it was before the  time when you forgot and will be just the same when you remember. And
Tx:30.45  white and lovely will it shine through all eternity. There was no  time it was not there; no instant when its light grew dimmer or less
Tx:30.46  far from earth as earth from Heaven. It is not the distance nor the  time which keeps this star invisible to earth. But those who seek for
Tx:30.67 There never was a  time an idol brought you anything except the “gift” of guilt. Not one
Tx:30.82  could each one be open to interpretation which is different every  time you think of it. You add an element into the script you write
Tx:31.6  lessons being taught to you in every moment of each day, since  time began and learning had been made?
Tx:31.13  to truth's appeal. There is no battle which must be prepared, no  time to be expended, and no plans that need be laid for bringing in
Tx:31.14  truth. And by your wish, you set two choices to be made each  time you think you must decide on anything. Neither is true. Nor are
Tx:31.26  it well, for it is here delay of happiness is shortened by a span of  time you cannot realize. You never hate your brother for his sins,
Tx:31.33  Thus you think within the narrow band from birth to death a little  time is given you to use for you alone, a time when everyone
Tx:31.33  birth to death a little time is given you to use for you alone, a  time when everyone conflicts with you, but you can choose which road
Tx:31.35  roads this world can offer seem to be quite large in number, but the  time must come when everyone begins to see how like they are to one
Tx:31.35  And learning they led nowhere, lost their hope. And yet this was the  time they could have learned their greatest lesson. All must reach

W1:79.3  and the next arise. There seems to be no end to them. There is no  time in which you feel completely free of problems and at peace.
W1:79.5  remain unsolved under a cloud of denial and rise to haunt you from  time to time, only to be hidden again but still unsolved.
W1:79.5  unsolved under a cloud of denial and rise to haunt you from time to  time, only to be hidden again but still unsolved.
W1:79.9 The shorter practice periods for today will not be set by  time but by need. You will see many problems today, each one calling
W1:90.5  have been solved. I seem to have problems only because I am misusing  time. I believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse
W1:90.5  I am misusing time. I believe that the problem comes first, and  time must elapse before it can be worked out. I do not see the
W1:90.5  together with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by  time. The Holy Spirit will teach me this if I will let Him. And I
W1:90.7  The answer to this problem is already given me if I will accept it.  Time cannot separate this problem from its solution.
W1:91.5 Three times today, set aside about ten minutes for a quiet  time in which you try to leave your weakness behind. This is
W1:92.11  the morning meeting, we will use the day in preparation for the  time at night when we will meet again in hope and trust. Let us
W1:95.5  but shorter practice periods have other advantages for you at this  time. In addition to recognizing your difficulties with sustained
W1:95.5  purpose frequently, you tend to forget about it for long periods of  time. You often fail to remember the short applications of the idea
W1:95.6 Structure, then, is necessary for you at this  time, planned to include frequent reminders of your goal and regular
W1:95.6  your goal and regular attempts to reach it. Regularity in terms of  time is not the ideal requirement for the most beneficial form of
W1:95.20  Repeat today's idea as frequently as possible and understand each  time you do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the
W1:96.2  of goals you cannot reach; a senseless series of expenditures of  time and effort, hopefulness and doubt, each one as futile as the one
W1:96.7 Waste no more  time on this. Who can resolve the senseless conflicts which a dream
W1:96.16  will save for you, and it will yet be yours in full awareness. Every  time you spend five minutes of the hour seeking Him Who joins your
W1:96.17 Each  time today you tell your frantic mind salvation comes from your One
W1:97.3 Today we try to bring reality still closer to your mind. Each  time you practice, awareness is brought a little nearer at least;
W1:97.3  you give are multiplied over and over, for the miracle makes use of  time but is not ruled by it. Salvation is a miracle, the first and
W1:97.4 You are the Spirit in whose mind abides the miracle in which all  time stands still; the miracle in which a minute spent in using these
W1:97.4  the miracle in which a minute spent in using these ideas becomes a  time which has no length and which has no end. Give, then, these
W1:97.6  they will be welcome. And they will increase in healing power each  time someone accepts them as his thoughts and uses them to heal.
W1:97.11  and God, your brothers and your Self. Listen for His assurance every  time you speak the words He offers you today, and let Him tell your
W1:98.3  they know their function will be filled completely in the perfect  time and place. They took the stand which we will take today that we
W1:98.5 Is it not worth five minutes of your  time each hour to be able to accept the happiness that God has given
W1:98.6  joy the world does not contain. You can exchange a little of your  time for peace of mind and certainty of purpose with the promise of
W1:98.6  certainty of purpose with the promise of complete success. And since  time has no meaning, you are being asked for nothing in return for
W1:98.11  practice period you share with Him, exchanging every instant of the  time you offer Him for timelessness and peace.
W1:98.12 Throughout the hour, let your  time be spent in happy preparation for the next five minutes you will
W1:98.12  again with Him. Repeat today's idea while you wait for the glad  time to come to you again. Repeat it often, and do not forget each
W1:98.12  time to come to you again. Repeat it often, and do not forget each  time you do so, you have let your mind be readied for the happy time
W1:98.12  each time you do so, you have let your mind be readied for the happy  time to come.
W1:98.13 And when the hour is gone and He is there once more to spend a little  time with you, be thankful and lay down all earthly tasks, all little
W1:98.13  tasks, all little thoughts and limited ideas, and spend a happy  time again with Him. Tell Him once more that you accept the part
W1:99.5  of Him within the Mind of God and in your own. It is apart from  time in that its Source is timeless. Yet it operates in time because
W1:99.5  apart from time in that its Source is timeless. Yet it operates in  time because of your belief that time is real. Unshaken does the Holy
W1:99.5  is timeless. Yet it operates in time because of your belief that  time is real. Unshaken does the Holy Spirit look on what you see—on
W1:100.11  is your Self Who calls to you today. And it is Him you answer every  time you tell yourself you are essential to God's plan for the
W1:104.2  are our own in truth. His are the gifts which we inherited before  time was and which will still be ours when time has passed into
W1:104.2  which we inherited before time was and which will still be ours when  time has passed into eternity.
W1:105.11 Spend your five minutes thus with Him each  time you can today, but do not think that less is worthless when you
W1:107.2  illusions is? How it would feel? Try to remember when there was a  time—perhaps a minute, maybe even less—when nothing came to
W1:107.2  what it would be like to have that moment be extended to the end of  time and to eternity.
W1:107.15 Do not forget your function for today. Each  time you tell yourself with confidence, “Truth will correct all
W1:108.13  you much. Effect and cause will be far better understood from this  time on, and we will make much faster progress now. Think of the
W1:108.13  advances in your learning, made still faster and more sure each  time you say:
W1:109.5  fear of future, and no past regrets. In timelessness you rest, while  time goes by without its touch upon you, for your rest can never
W1:109.6  No more fearful dreams will come now that you rest in God. Take  time today to slip away from dreams and into peace.
W1:109.7  a stream long dry begins to flow again. The world is born again each  time you rest, and hourly remember that you came to bring the peace
W1:109.8  five minutes that you rest today the world is nearer waking. And the  time when rest will be the only thing there is comes closer to all
W1:109.11  is made complete, and what we give today we have received already.  Time is not the guardian of what we give today. We give to those
W1:109.11  and where they rest. And we remind them of their resting place each  time we tell ourselves,
W1:110.1 We will repeat today's idea from  time to time. For this one thought would be enough to save you and
W1:110.1 We will repeat today's idea from time to  time. For this one thought would be enough to save you and the world
W1:110.2  which will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any  time or place. It is enough to heal the past and make the future
W1:110.2  enough to let the present be accepted as it is. It is enough to let  time be the means for all the world to learn escape from time and
W1:110.2  to let time be the means for all the world to learn escape from  time and every change that time appears to bring in passing by.
W1:110.2  for all the world to learn escape from time and every change that  time appears to bring in passing by.
W1:R3.2  you miss a practice period because it is impossible at the appointed  time. Nor is it necessary that you make excessive efforts to be sure
W1:R3.3  you skip a practice period because you are unwilling to devote the  time to it which you are asked to give. Do not deceive yourself in
W1:R3.11 Repeat it, and allow your mind to rest a little  time in silence and in peace. Then turn to other things, but try to
W1:122.12  and we receive the gifts which have been held in store for us since  time began, kept waiting for today. Forgiveness offers everything you
W1:124.6  Their thoughts are timeless and apart from distance as apart from  time.
W1:124.10  the thought to which you gave this half an hour, thankfully aware no  time was ever better spent.
W1:125.1  accepts the message which the world must hear to usher in the quiet  time of peace.
W1:125.4  to spread across the world the tidings of salvation and the holy  time of peace. We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet place
W1:127.6  means today, you have advanced in distance without measure and in  time beyond the count of years to your release.
W1:127.7 Let us together, then, be glad to give some  time to God today and understand there is no better use for time than
W1:127.7  some time to God today and understand there is no better use for  time than this. For 15 minutes twice today escape from every law in
W1:128.7  whole perspective on the world will shift by just a little every  time you let your mind escape its chains. The world is not where it
W1:129.2 It might be worth a little  time to think once more about the value of this world. Perhaps you
W1:129.2  No lasting love is found, for none is here. This is the world of  time, where all things end.
W1:129.3  no ending, and they will remain exactly as you want them throughout  time?
W1:131.7 Why wait for Heaven? It is here today.  Time is the great illusion; it is past or in the future. Yet this
W1:131.7  now, without a past and wholly futureless. It is as far removed from  time as is a tiny candle from a distant star, or what you chose from
W1:131.9  He wills to be, and what He wills is present now beyond the reach of  time.
W1:131.10  choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the Son of God make  time to take away the Will of God? He thus denies himself and
W1:131.17  his to Him. This is a day of gladness, for we come to the appointed  time and place where you will find the goal of all your searching
W1:131.18 Remember often that today should be a  time of special gladness, and refrain from dismal thoughts and
W1:131.18  refrain from dismal thoughts and meaningless laments. Salvation's  time has come. Today is set by Heaven Itself to be a time of grace
W1:131.18  Salvation's time has come. Today is set by Heaven Itself to be a  time of grace for you and for the world. If you forget this happy
W1:132.3  what you do not want to find. The present now remains the only  time. Here in the present is the world set free. For as you let the
W1:132.10  as God created you. There is no place where you can suffer and no  time that can bring change to your eternal state. How can a world of
W1:132.10  time that can bring change to your eternal state. How can a world of  time and place exist if you remain as God created you?
W1:133.5  thus delay your final choice until you had considered all of them in  time and not been brought so clearly to the place where there is but
W1:133.7  what you chose is valueless. A temporary value is without all value.  Time can never take away a value that is real. What fades and dies
W1:134.14 Today we practice true forgiveness that the  time of joining be no more delayed. For we would meet with our
W1:134.17  Briefly consider all the evil things you thought of him, and each  time ask yourself “Would I condemn myself for doing this?”
W1:134.18  weight across your chest, a deep and certain feeling of relief. The  time remaining should be given to experiencing the escape from all
W1:135.6  to make it safe, and you but say your home is open to the thief of  time, corruptible and crumbling, so unsafe it must be guarded with
W1:135.16  that it will be provided for unless it makes its own provisions.  Time becomes a future emphasis to be controlled by learning and
W1:135.20  constantly increases as this life becomes a holy instant, set in  time but heeding only immortality. Let no defenses but your present
W1:135.21  for your happiness according to the ancient plan begun when  time was born. Your followers will join their light with yours, and
W1:135.22 We will anticipate that  time today with present confidence, for this is part of what was
W1:136.14 It is this fact which demonstrates that  time is an illusion. For it lets you think what God has given you is
W1:136.14  right now, as it must be. The thoughts of God are quite apart from  time. For time is but another meaningless defense you made against
W1:136.14  as it must be. The thoughts of God are quite apart from time. For  time is but another meaningless defense you made against the truth.
W1:136.15  lay down its arms and cease to play with folly. It is found at any  time—today, if you will choose to practice giving welcome to the
W1:136.20  The body's health is fully guaranteed because it is not limited by  time, by weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any laws you made
W1:137.11 Those who are healed become the instruments of healing. Nor does  time elapse between the instant they are healed and all the grace of
W1:137.13  hour worth the giving to receive a gift like this? Is not a little  time a small expense to offer for the gift of everything?
W1:138.3  one of conflicting goals become the aim of effort and expenditure of  time. Without decision, time is but a waste and effort dissipated. It
W1:138.3  become the aim of effort and expenditure of time. Without decision,  time is but a waste and effort dissipated. It is spent for nothing in
W1:138.3  waste and effort dissipated. It is spent for nothing in return. And  time goes by without results. There is no sense of gain, for nothing
W1:138.7 So we begin today considering the choice that  time was made to help us make. Such is its holy purpose, now
W1:138.9  in shadows must be raised to understanding to be judged again, this  time with Heaven's help, and all mistakes in judgment which the mind
W1:138.12  hour passed, we have declared our choice again in a brief quiet  time devoted to maintaining sanity. And finally we close the day with
W1:139.7 And they will come again until the  time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is impossible to doubt
W1:140.11  the same. We have no need to make them different and thus delay the  time when we can hear our Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We
W1:R4.1 Now we review again, this  time aware we are preparing for the second part of learning how the
W1:R4.7 Begin each day with  time devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what each idea
W1:R4.10  them slowly to yourself. There is no hurry now, for you are using  time for its intended purpose. Let each word shine with the meaning
W1:R4.11  Then repeat the two ideas you practice for the day unhurriedly, with  time enough to see the gifts which they contain for you, and let them
W1:R4.12  as we began, repeating first the thought that made the day a special  time of blessing and of happiness for us and through our faithfulness
W1:151.13 We practice wordlessly today, except at the beginning of the  time you spend with God. We introduce these times with but a single,
W1:153.13  mad by sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over. Now a quiet  time has come in which we put away the toys of guilt and lock our
W1:153.15  us from our purpose, we will find that half an hour is too short a  time to spend with God. Nor will we willingly give less at night in
W1:153.18 In  time, with practice, you will never cease to think of Him and hear
W1:153.18  would you keep your mind away from Him a moment, even though your  time is spent in offering salvation to the world. Think you He will
W1:153.20 We call upon His strength each  time we feel the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of
W1:155.11 When dreams are over,  time has closed the door on all the things that pass, and miracles
W1:157.1 This is a day of silence and of trust. It is a special  time of promise in your calendar of days. It is a time Heaven has set
W1:157.1  It is a special time of promise in your calendar of days. It is a  time Heaven has set apart to shine upon and cast a timeless light
W1:157.3  of learning. Yet you have come far enough along the way to alter  time sufficiently to rise above its laws and walk into eternity a
W1:157.7  world to which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of  time, a little more like Heaven in its ways, a little nearer its
W1:157.8 The  time will come when you will not return in the same form in which you
W1:158.2  can. The revelation that the Father and the Son are one will come in  time to every mind. Yet is that time determined by the mind itself,
W1:158.2  and the Son are one will come in time to every mind. Yet is that  time determined by the mind itself, not taught.
W1:158.3 The  time is set already. It appears to be quite arbitrary. Yet there is
W1:158.3  been taken by him, although he has not yet embarked on it. For  time but seems to go in one direction. We but undertake a journey
W1:158.4  Time is a trick—a sleight of hand, a vast illusion in which figures
W1:158.5  he did not learn it. It revealed itself to him at its appointed  time. But vision is his gift. This he can give directly, for Christ's
W1:158.11 It matters not when revelation comes, for that is not of  time. Yet time has still one gift to give in which true knowledge is
W1:158.11 It matters not when revelation comes, for that is not of time. Yet  time has still one gift to give in which true knowledge is reflected
W1:162.1  single thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the world. From  time to time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage in
W1:162.1  thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the world. From time to  time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage in learning. It
W1:162.3  will save the world because he gives the world what he receives each  time he practices the words of truth.
W1:163.3  is counted on. For it will come with certain footsteps when the  time has come for its arrival. It will never fail to take all life as
W1:164.1 What  time but now can truth be recognized? The present is the only time
W1:164.1 What time but now can truth be recognized? The present is the only  time there is. And so today, this instant, now, we come to look upon
W1:164.1  there—not in our sight, but in the eyes of Christ. He looks past  time and sees eternity as represented there. He hears the sounds the
W1:164.3  for you and answers in your name the call He hears. How quiet is the  time you give to spend with Him beyond the world. How easily are all
W1:166.11  reply: “It is not so.” He points to all the gifts you have each  time the thought of poverty oppresses you and speaks of His
W1:167.4  from their own origin, apart from it in kind as well as distance,  time, and form.
W1:167.9  its Source, it merely seems to go to sleep a while. It dreams of  time—an interval in which what seems to happen never has occurred,
W1:169.4  already set. But we have also said the mind determines when that  time will be and has determined it. And yet we urge you to bear
W1:169.6  cannot be conceived. It lies beyond salvation—past all thought of  time, forgiveness, and the holy face of Christ. The Son of God has
W1:169.7  learned, brings with it the experiences which bear witness that the  time the mind itself determined to abandon all but this is now at
W1:169.7  in His Mind, accomplished and complete. He recognized all that  time holds and gave it to all minds that each one might determine
W1:169.7  it to all minds that each one might determine from a point where  time has ended when it is released to revelation and eternity.
W1:169.8  but make a journey that is done. For oneness must be here. Whatever  time the mind has set for revelation is entirely irrelevant to what
W1:169.9  be known and fully understood. Now we have work to do, for those in  time can speak of things beyond and listen to words which explain
W1:169.11  salvation can bestow. Experience that grace provides will end in  time, for grace foreshadows Heaven yet does not replace the thought
W1:169.11  for grace foreshadows Heaven yet does not replace the thought of  time but for a little while. The interval suffices. It is here that
W1:170.9 This moment can be terrible. But it can also be the  time of your release from abject slavery. You make a choice, standing
W1:170.12 The choice you make today is certain. For you look for the last  time upon this bit of carven stone you made and call it god no
W1:170.12  still another form, and so the fear of God returned with you. This  time you leave it here. And you return to a new world unburdened by
W1:R5.1 We now review again. This  time we are ready to give more effort and more time to what we
W1:R5.1  review again. This time we are ready to give more effort and more  time to what we undertake. We recognize we are preparing for another
W1:R5.7  step we take brings us a little nearer. This review will shorten  time immeasurably if we keep in mind that This remains our goal, and
W1:R5.9 My resurrection comes again each  time I lead a brother safely to the place at which the journey ends
W1:R5.9  the place at which the journey ends and is forgot. I am renewed each  time a brother learns there is a way from misery and pain. I am
W1:R5.9  brother learns there is a way from misery and pain. I am reborn each  time a brother's mind turns to the light in him and looks for me. I
W1:R5.10  given Him. Together we review these thoughts. Together we devote our  time and effort to them. And together we will teach them to our
W1:R5.10  whole, we go together to our ancient home, prepared for us before  time was and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as it will
W1:R5.10  ancient home, prepared for us before time was and kept unchanged by  time, immaculate and safe, as it will be at last, when time is done.
W1:R5.10  unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as it will be at last, when  time is done.
W1:R5.12 Let this review become a  time in which we share a new experience for you, yet one as old as
W1:R5.12  a time in which we share a new experience for you, yet one as old as  time, and older still. Hallowed your name. Your glory undefiled
W1:R5.12  And we remind the world that it is free of all illusions every  time we say,
W1:R5.14  of our review. With this we start and end each period of practice  time. And with this thought we sleep, to waken once again with these
W1:I2.1  into one intent. You are not asked for total dedication all the  time, as yet. But you are asked to practice now in order to attain
W1:181.3  an instant previous has no concern for us within this interval of  time wherein we practice changing our intent. We seek for innocence
W1:181.5  what we will believe will not intrude upon us now. We enter in the  time of practicing with one intent—to look upon the sinlessness
W1:182.2  try to put by their suffering in games they play to occupy their  time and keep their sadness from them. Others will deny that they are
W1:182.5  You are His home as well. He will return. But give Him just a little  time to be Himself within the peace that is His home, resting in
W1:182.10 Christ is reborn as but a little Child each  time a wanderer would leave his home. For he must learn that what he
W1:182.10  and Who is protected by defenselessness. Go home with Him from  time to time today. You are as much an alien here as He.
W1:182.10  Who is protected by defenselessness. Go home with Him from time to  time today. You are as much an alien here as He.
W1:182.11 Take  time today to lay aside your shield which profits nothing and lay
W1:184.1  you give a different name—all happenings in terms of place and  time, all bodies which are greeted by a name.
W1:185.1  be no further sorrow possible for you in any form, in any place or  time. Heaven would be completely given back to full awareness, memory
W1:187.4  value not its form. For this will change and grow unrecognizable in  time, however much you try to keep it safe. No form endures. It is
W1:190.4 Peace to such foolishness! The  time has come to laugh at such insane ideas. There is no need to
W1:190.8  the Son He loves. In pain does fear appear to triumph over love and  time replace eternity and Heaven. And the world becomes a cruel and a
W1:191.10  all dark and ancient caverns where the rites of death echoed since  time began. For time has lost its hold upon the world. The Son of God
W1:191.10  caverns where the rites of death echoed since time began. For  time has lost its hold upon the world. The Son of God has come in
W1:192.8  He must be sure that he does not escape, and so he spends his  time in keeping watch on him. The bars which limit him become the
W1:192.9  of bind, for thus are you made free. The way is simple. Every  time you feel a stab of anger, realize you hold a sword above your
W1:193.13  with none remaining yet unshed and none but waiting their appointed  time to fall. For God has willed that laughter should replace each
W1:193.14  try to hold it off another day, another minute, or another instant.  Time was made for this. Use it today for what its purpose is. Morning
W1:193.14  Use it today for what its purpose is. Morning and night, devote what  time you can to serve its proper aim, and do not let the time be less
W1:193.14  devote what time you can to serve its proper aim, and do not let the  time be less than meets your deepest need.
W1:193.16 Each hour spend a little  time today, and in the days to come, in practicing the lesson in
W1:193.16  so that the next one is free of the one before. The chains of  time are easily unloosened in this way.
W1:193.17  it. Thus will you remain unbound, in peace eternal in the world of  time. This is the lesson God would have you learn: there is a way to
W1:194.3  given unto God in passing, with the next one given Him already, is a  time of your release from sadness, pain and even death itself.
W1:194.4  you are not asked to understand the lack of sequence really found in  time. You are but asked to let the future go and place it in God's
W1:194.5  of grief and misery, of pain and loss, becomes the instant in which  time escapes the bondage of illusions where it runs its pitiless,
W1:194.5  inevitable course. Then is each instant, which was slave to  time, transformed into a holy instant when the light that was kept
W1:195.10 Our gratitude will pave the way to Him and shorten our learning  time by more than you could ever dream of. Gratitude goes hand in
W1:196.4  sequence as the mind relinquishes its burdens one by one. It is not  time we need for this. It is but willingness. And what would seem to
W1:196.11  for your death, intent on plotting punishment for you until the  time when it can kill at last. Yet in this instant is the time as
W1:196.11  until the time when it can kill at last. Yet in this instant is the  time as well in which salvation comes. For fear of God has
W1:198.15  to us the gift that God has given us through Him today. Now is it  time for your deliverance. The time has come. The time has come today.
W1:198.15  given us through Him today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The  time has come. The time has come today.
W1:198.15  today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has come. The  time has come today.
W1:199.2  Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways, beyond the laws of  time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and with strength and

M:1.2  world. Many hear it, but few will answer. But it is all a matter of  time. Everyone will answer in the end, but the end can be a long,
M:1.2  the plan of the teachers was established. Their function is to save  time. Each one begins as a single light, but with the Call at its

M:2.2  plan of salvation, it is necessary to grasp the concept of  time which the course sets forth. Atonement corrects illusions, not
M:2.2  completed simultaneously, for the Will of God is entirely apart from  time. So is all reality, being of Him. The instant the idea of
M:2.2  Mind of God's Son, in that same instant was God's Answer given. In  time this happened very long ago. In reality it never happened at all.
M:2.3 The world of  time is the world of illusion. What happened long ago seems to be
M:2.3  your will is free, you can accept what has already happened at any  time you choose, and only then will you realize that it was always
M:2.4  Time really, then, goes backward to an instant so ancient that it is
M:2.4  other as if they had not met before. The pupil comes at the right  time to the right place. This is inevitable, because he made the
M:2.4  out of an ancient past. God's Will in everything but seems to take  time in the working-out. What could delay the Power of eternity?
M:3.3  the universal course is a concept as meaningless in reality as is  time. The illusion of one permits the illusion of the other. In time,
M:3.3  is time. The illusion of one permits the illusion of the other. In  time, the teacher of God seems to begin to change his mind about the
M:3.3  the new direction as he teaches it. We have covered the illusion of  time already, but the illusion of levels of teaching seems to be
M:3.4  will learn the most that he can from the other person at that  time. In this sense, and in this sense only, we can speak of levels
M:3.4  level of teaching is a more sustained relationship in which for a  time two people enter into a fairly intense teaching-learning
M:3.4  a real end. Again, each has learned the most he can at the  time. Yet all who meet will someday meet again, for it is the destiny
M:3.5  do not. They may even be quite hostile to each other for some  time, and perhaps for life. Yet should they decide to learn it, the
M:4.1  Atonement. Their specialness is, of course, only temporary—set in  time as a means of leading out of time. These special gifts, born in
M:4.1  of course, only temporary—set in time as a means of leading out of  time. These special gifts, born in the holy relationship toward which
M:4.2 All differences among the Sons of God are temporary. Nevertheless, in  time it can be said that the advanced teachers of God have the
M:4.8 Now comes a “period of settling down.” This is a quiet  time in which the teacher of God rests a while in reasonable peace.
M:4.9  he must attain a state that may remain impossible for a long, long  time. He must learn to lay all judgment aside and ask only what he
M:4.20  natural to the teacher of God. All he sees is certain outcome, at a  time perhaps unknown as yet, but not in doubt. The time will be as
M:4.20  outcome, at a time perhaps unknown as yet, but not in doubt. The  time will be as right as is the answer. And this is true for
M:4.20  to whom it seemed to happen. Perhaps it was not understood at the  time. Even so, the teacher of God is willing to reconsider all his
M:4.20  who trust. Sure of the ultimate interpretation of all things in  time, no outcome already seen or yet to come can cause them fear.
M:4.21  by resting on just some problems, remaining carefully limited for a  time. To give up all problems to one Answer is to reverse the
M:6.2  Where healing has been given, it will be received. And what is  time before the gifts of God? We have referred many times in the text
M:8.6  real. Just as reality is wholly real, apart from size and shape and  time and place—for differences cannot exist within it—so too are
M:10.1  person classifies the same action as showing “good” judgment at one  time and “bad” judgment at another time. Nor can any consistent
M:10.1  as showing “good” judgment at one time and “bad” judgment at another  time. Nor can any consistent criteria for determining what these
M:10.1  for determining what these categories are be really taught. At any  time, the student may disagree with what his would-be teacher says
M:10.6  is its result. All of the loneliness and sense of loss, of passing  time and growing hopelessness; of sickening despair and fear of death
M:11.2 Again we come to the question of judgment. This  time, ask yourself whether your judgment or the Word of God is more
M:13.5  And so he seeks it in a thousand ways and in a thousand places, each  time believing it is there and each time disappointed in the end.
M:13.5  and in a thousand places, each time believing it is there and each  time disappointed in the end. “Seek but do not find,” remains this
M:14.3  thought of sin remains” appears to be a long-range goal indeed. But  time stands still and waits on the goals of God's teachers. Not one
M:15.1  free. This is the judgment in which all things are freed with him.  Time pauses as eternity comes near, and silence lies across the world
M:15.3  this, and you will go beyond belief to certainty. One instant out of  time can bring time's end. Judge not, for you but judge yourself and
M:16.2  with error, yet there are obvious advantages in terms of saving  time if the need for this can be avoided.
M:16.3 At the beginning, it is wise to think in terms of  time. This is by no means the ultimate criterion, but at the outset,
M:16.3  at the outset, it is probably the simplest to observe. The saving of  time is an essential early emphasis which, although it remains
M:16.3  less and less emphasized. At the outset, we can safely say that  time devoted to starting the day right does indeed save time. How
M:16.3  say that time devoted to starting the day right does indeed save  time. How much time should be so spent? This must depend on the
M:16.3  devoted to starting the day right does indeed save time. How much  time should be so spent? This must depend on the teacher of God
M:16.4  awakes. If this is so, let him but remember that he chooses to spend  time with God as soon as possible, and let him do so. Duration is not
M:16.4  be made is this—as soon as possible after waking, take your quiet  time, continuing a minute or two after you begin to find it
M:16.4  that the difficulty will diminish and drop away. If not, that is the  time to stop.
M:16.5 The same procedures should be followed at night. Perhaps your quiet  time should be fairly early in the evening if it is not feasible for
M:16.5  If possible, however, just before going to sleep is a desirable  time to devote to God. It sets your mind into a pattern of rest and
M:16.5  and orients you away from fear. If it is expedient to spend this  time earlier, at least be sure that you do not forget a brief period
M:16.8  day of his protection. How can he do this, particularly during the  time when his mind is occupied with external things? He can but try,
M:16.8  He must be sure success is not of him but will be given him at any  time, in any place and circumstance he calls for it. There are times
M:19.2  short indeed of all that awaits one when the pathway ceases and  time ends with it. But somewhere one must start. Justice is the
M:22.2  on whether he recognizes the Atonement's inclusiveness or for a  time excludes some problem areas from it. In some cases, there is a
M:23.7  there are. Would God leave anyone without a very present help in  time of trouble? A savior who can symbolize Himself? Yet do we need a
M:24.4  He should both learn and teach that theoretical issues but waste  time, draining it away from its appointed purpose. If there are
M:24.6  is here. There is nowhere else. Heaven is now. There is no other  time. No teaching that does not lead to this is of concern to God's
M:26.2  to them, and all mistakes are recognized and overlooked by them. The  time will come when this is understood. And meanwhile they give all
M:26.3  much devotion and dedication and then be maintained for most of the  time on earth. But this is so rare that it cannot be considered a

Tx:9.41  you do, even when you respond to the Holy Spirit, because at such  times its confusion increases. The ego is, therefore, particularly

W1:135.26  extravagant demands for sacrifice. You give up nothing in these  times today when undefended you present yourself to your Creator as
W1:151.13  at the beginning of the time you spend with God. We introduce these  times with but a single, slow repeating of the thought with which the
W1:153.16  as we remember to be faithful to the will we share with God. At  times, perhaps, a minute, even less, will be the most that we can
W1:153.16  we can offer as the hour strikes. Sometimes we will forget. At other  times the business of the world will close on us, and we will be

W1:186.10  which the world esteems are so uncertain that they change ten  times an hour at their most secure. What hope of gain can rest on
W1:R6.10  for specific thoughts to aid your practicing. Instead we give these  times of quiet to the Teacher Who instructs in quiet, speaks of
W2:I.1  alone. The lessons which remain are merely introductions to the  times in which we leave the world of pain and go to enter peace. Now
W2:I.3  all the days to come. And we will use that thought to introduce our  times of rest and calm our minds at need. Yet we will not content
W2:I.4  to make us happy? We will offer it, and it will be accepted. So our  times with Him will now be spent. We say the words of invitation that

W1:44.1  Today we are continuing with the idea for yesterday, adding another
W1:44.3  Today we are going to attempt to reach that light. For this purpose,
W1:44.4 Have at least three practice periods  today, each lasting three to five minutes. A longer time is highly
W1:44.4  with little or no sense of strain. The form of exercise we will use  today is the most natural and easy one in the world for the trained

W1:45.3 Where, then, are your real thoughts?  Today we will attempt to reach them. We will have to look for them in
W1:45.4 Our three five-minute practice periods for  today will take the same general form that we used in applying

W1:47.4  Today we will try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of
W1:47.4  of real strength. Four five-minute practice periods are necessary  today, and longer and more frequent ones are urged. Close your eyes
W1:47.9 Repeat the idea for  today often. Use it as your answer to any disturbance. Remember that
W1:48.1 The idea for  today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who believe in
W1:49.2  frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. Try  today not to listen to it. Try to identify with the part of your mind
W1:49.3 We will need at least four five-minute practice periods  today and more if possible. We will try actually to hear the Voice
W1:49.5  possible. And be sure that you sit quietly and repeat the idea for  today slowly whenever you can, closing your eyes on the world and

W1:54.1 These are the review ideas for  today:
W1:56.1 Our review for  today covers the following:
W1:57.1  Today let us review these ideas:

W1:59.1 The following ideas are for review  today:
W1:59.3  strength. Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my own eyes to see  today. Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful illusion of seeing
W1:59.3  is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call upon this gift  today, so that this day may help me to understand eternity.
W1:61.4 You will want to think about this idea as often as possible  today. It is the perfect answer to all illusions and therefore to all
W1:61.5 As many practice periods as possible should be undertaken  today, although each one need not exceed a minute or two. They should
W1:61.9  of a number of giant steps we will take in the next few weeks. Try  today to begin to build a firm foundation for these advances.
W1:63.3  of this function, we will be happy to remember it very often  today. We will begin the day by acknowledging it and close the day
W1:64.5  are really choosing whether to be happy or not. Let us remember this  today. Let us remind ourselves of it in the morning and again at
W1:64.6 Prepare yourself in advance for all the decisions you will make  today by remembering that they are really very simple. Each one will
W1:64.7  Today, then, let us practice with these thoughts:
W1:65.1 The idea for  today reaffirms your commitment to salvation. It also reminds you
W1:65.2  Today and for a number of days to follow, set aside ten to 15 minutes
W1:65.3  the same time each day. Try, also, to determine this time  today in advance and then adhere to it as closely as possible.
W1:65.5 For this longer practice period, begin by reviewing the idea for  today. Then close your eyes, repeat the idea to yourself once again,
W1:65.6  no attempt to concentrate only on thoughts related to the idea for  today. Rather, try to uncover each thought that arises which would
W1:65.11 Finally, repeat the idea for  today once more and devote the rest of the practice period to trying
W1:66.3  Today we will try to go past this wholly meaningless battle and
W1:66.4 Our longer practice period  today has as its purpose your acceptance of the fact that not only is
W1:66.11 Think about this during the longer practice period  today. Think also about the many forms which the illusion of your
W1:66.12 We need great honesty  today. Remember the outcomes fairly and consider also whether it was
W1:66.13  side stand all illusions. All truth stands on the other. Let us try  today to realize that only the truth is true.
W1:66.14 In the shorter practice periods, which would be most helpful  today if undertaken twice an hour, this form of the application is
W1:67.2 We will make every effort  today to reach this truth about you and to realize fully, if only for
W1:67.4  with God as He defines Himself is appropriate for use. We are trying  today to undo your definition of God and replace it with His own. We
W1:67.6 You may find it necessary to repeat the idea for  today from time to time to replace distracting thoughts. You may also
W1:67.6  yourself as Love created you. Be confident that you will do much  today to bring that awareness nearer, whether you feel you have
W1:67.7 It will be particularly helpful  today to practice the idea for today as often as you can. You need to
W1:67.7 It will be particularly helpful today to practice the idea for  today as often as you can. You need to hear the truth about yourself
W1:68.5  grievances go. That, however, is simply a question of motivation.  Today we will try to find out how you would feel without them. If you
W1:69.2  Today let us make another real attempt to reach the light in you.
W1:69.3 Let us begin our longer practice period  today with the full realization of all this and real determination to
W1:69.3  Learning salvation is our only goal. Let us end the ancient search  today by finding the light in us and holding it up for everyone who
W1:69.5  convinced of their lack of substance. We will make this attempt  today.
W1:69.6  remembering only how much you want to reach the light in you  today—now. Determine to go past the clouds. Reach out and touch
W1:69.8 Have confidence in your Father  today. And be certain that He has heard you and has answered you. You
W1:69.13 if you are tempted to hold anything against anyone  today.
W1:70.1  than some form of the basic temptation not to believe the idea for  today. Salvation seems to come from anywhere except from you. So,
W1:70.5  that healing did not occur; God's purpose was to ensure that it did.  Today we practice realizing that God's Will and ours are really the
W1:70.6  because it makes us unhappy. Therefore, in accepting the idea for  today, we are in agreement with God. He does not want us to be sick.
W1:70.7 We are ready for two longer practice periods  today, each of which should last some ten to 15 minutes. We will,
W1:70.8 Begin these practice periods by repeating the idea for  today, adding a statement signifying your recognition that salvation
W1:70.14 For the short and frequent practice periods  today, remind yourself that your salvation comes from you and nothing
W1:71.7 How can you escape all this? Very simply. The idea for  today is the answer. Only God's plan for salvation will work. There
W1:71.8 Let us practice recognizing this certainty  today. And let us rejoice that there is an answer to what seems to be
W1:71.9 Begin the two longer practice periods for  today by thinking about today's idea, and realizing that it contains
W1:71.13  only His, will work. Be alert to all temptation to hold grievances  today, and respond to them with this form of today's idea:
W1:71.15 Try to remember the idea for  today some six or seven times an hour. There could be no better way
W1:72.9 We will try  today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will try to
W1:72.11 Our goal in the longer practice periods  today is to become aware that God's plan for salvation has already
W1:72.18  or perhaps two shorter practice periods an hour will be enough for  today since they will be somewhat longer than usual. These exercises
W1:73.1  Today we are considering the will you share with God. This is not the
W1:73.4  Today we will try once more to reach the world that is in accordance
W1:73.7  your will as well. You want to succeed in what we are trying to do  today. We undertake it with your blessing and your glad accord.
W1:73.8 We will succeed  today if you remember that you will salvation for yourself. You will
W1:73.9  Today it is the ego which stands powerless before your will. Your
W1:73.9  can prevail against it. Therefore we undertake the exercises for  today in happy confidence, certain that we will find what it is your
W1:73.9  wishes can detain us nor deceive us with an illusion of strength.  Today let your will be done. And end forever the insane belief that
W1:73.11 You will succeed  today, the time appointed for the release of the Son of God from hell
W1:74.1 The idea for  today can be regarded as the central thought toward which all our
W1:74.2 There is great peace in today's idea. And the exercises for  today are directed towards finding it. The idea itself is wholly
W1:74.2  illusions, conflict is impossible. Let us try to recognize this  today and experience the peace this recognition brings.
W1:74.12  yourself slipping off into withdrawal, quickly repeat the idea for  today and try again. Do this as often as necessary. There is definite
W1:74.13  which should be undertaken at regular and predetermined intervals  today, say to yourself:
W1:74.14 There is no will but God's. I seek His peace  today.
W1:74.15  half-hour, with eyes closed if possible, would be well spent on this  today.
W1:75.2  Today we celebrate the happy ending to your long dream of disaster.
W1:75.2  dream of disaster. There are no dark dreams now. The light has come.  Today the time of light begins for you and everyone. It is a new era
W1:75.2  world is born. The old one has left no trace upon it in its passing.  Today we see a different world because the light has come.
W1:75.3 Our exercises for  today will be happy ones in which we offer thanks for the passing of
W1:75.3  remain to darken our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers us.  Today we will accept the new world as what we want to see. We will be
W1:75.4  to see, and only this. Our single purpose makes our goal inevitable.  Today the real world rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last.
W1:75.5 We do not see the ego's shadow on the world  today. We see the light, and in it we see Heaven's reflection lie
W1:75.7 Dwell not upon the past  today. Keep a completely open mind, washed of all past ideas and
W1:75.7  clean of every concept you have made. You have forgiven the world  today. You can look upon it now as if you never saw it before. You do
W1:75.10  He promised you. From this time forth you will see differently.  Today the light has come. And you will see the world that has been
W1:75.11  of your release. Remind yourself every quarter of an hour or so that  today is a time for special celebration. Give thanks for mercy and
W1:75.11  the darkness of the past upon your eyes, you cannot fail to see  today. And what you see will be so welcome that you will gladly
W1:75.11  And what you see will be so welcome that you will gladly extend  today forever. Say, then:
W1:75.15  you be. Keep it in your awareness of yourself and see it everywhere  today, as we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of
W1:76.2  Today we will be glad you cannot prove it. For if you could, you
W1:76.2  would forever seek where it is not and never find it. The idea for  today tells you once again how simple is salvation. Look for it where
W1:76.7 The laws of God can never be replaced. We will devote  today to rejoicing that this is so. It is no longer a truth which we
W1:76.8 We will begin the longer practice period  today with a short review of the different kinds of “laws” we have
W1:76.10 There are no laws but God's. Dismiss all foolish magical beliefs  today and hold your mind in silent readiness to hear the Voice that
W1:76.12 Let us  today open God's channels to Him and let His Will extend through us
W1:76.14 We will repeat this dedication as often as possible  today—at least four or five times an hour, as well as in response
W1:77.1  a statement of your true Identity. It is this that we will celebrate  today.
W1:77.3  Today we will claim the miracles which are your right since they
W1:77.3  can never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to us in truth.  Today, however, we will also make sure that we will not content
W1:77.6  you accepted must be so. There is no room for doubt and uncertainty  today. We are asking a real question at last. The answer is a simple
W1:77.7  also be devoted to a reminder of a simple fact. Tell yourself often  today:
W1:78.2  Today we go beyond the grievances to look upon the miracle instead.
W1:78.4  Today we will attempt to see God's Son. We will not let ourselves be
W1:78.6  role the Holy Spirit has assigned to him. Let him be savior unto you  today. Such is his role in God your Father's plan.
W1:78.7 Our longer practice periods  today will see him in this role. We will attempt to hold him in our
W1:78.11  Him that you might be saved. God thanks you for these quiet times  today in which you laid your images aside and looked upon the miracle
W1:79.7 In our longer practice periods  today, we will ask what the problem is and what is the answer to it.
W1:79.8 Our exercises for  today will be successful to the extent to which we do not insist on
W1:79.9 The shorter practice periods for  today will not be set by time but by need. You will see many problems
W1:79.9  will not be set by time but by need. You will see many problems  today, each one calling for an answer. Our efforts will be directed
W1:79.10 Be not deceived by the form of problems  today. Whenever any difficulty seems to rise, tell yourself quickly:

W1:80.4 In our longer practice periods  today, we will claim the peace that must be ours when the problem and
W1:80.6 Assure yourselves often  today that your problems have been solved. Repeat the idea with deep
W1:80.6  possible. And be particularly sure to remember to apply the idea for  today to any specific problem that may arise. Say quickly:
W1:80.8 Let us be determined not to collect grievances  today. Let us be determined to be free of problems that do not exist.
W1:81.1 Our ideas for review  today are:
W1:82.1 We will review these ideas  today:
W1:83.1  Today let us review these ideas:

W1:87.1 Our review  today will cover these ideas:
W1:87.2 [73] I will there be light. I will use the power of my will  today. It is not my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of
W1:87.2  and afraid of things unseen and unreal. Light shall be my guide  today. I will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on
W1:87.5 [74] There is no will but God's. I am safe  today because there is no will but God's. I can become afraid only

W1:88.1  Today we will review these ideas:
W1:89.1 These are our review ideas for  today:
W1:90.2 [79] Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved. Let me realize  today that the problem is always some form of grievance which I would
W1:90.2  is always a miracle with which I let the grievance be replaced.  Today I would remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the
W1:91.4  you but realize how great this strength, your doubts would vanish.  Today we will devote ourselves to the attempt to let you feel this
W1:91.5 Three times  today, set aside about ten minutes for a quiet time in which you try
W1:91.8  question with which this statement ends is needed for our exercises  today. What you think you are is a belief to be undone. But what you
W1:92.1 The idea for  today is an extension of the previous one. You do not think of light
W1:92.9  ready to embrace you as Its own. Such is the meeting place we try  today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self,
W1:92.10 Let us give 20 minutes twice  today to join this meeting. Let yourself be brought unto your Self.
W1:92.10  the gift of sight is given you. Leave, then, the dark a little while  today, and we will practice seeing in the light, closing the body's

W1:97.5 Give Him the minutes which He needs  today to help you understand with Him you are the Spirit that abides
W1:97.11 Offer each practice period  today gladly to Him. And He will speak to you, reminding you that you
W1:97.11  for His assurance every time you speak the words He offers you  today, and let Him tell your mind that they are true.
W1:97.12  belief that you are something else. The Holy Spirit gives you peace  today. Receive His words, and offer them to Him.
W1:98.1  Today is a day of special dedication. We take a stand on but one side
W1:98.1 Today is a day of special dedication. We take a stand on but one side  today. We side with truth and let illusions go. We will not vacillate
W1:98.1  take a firm position with the one. We dedicate ourselves to truth  today and to salvation as God planned it be. We will not argue it is
W1:98.2 How happy to be certain! All our doubts we lay aside  today and take our stand with certainty of purpose and with thanks
W1:98.3  the perfect time and place. They took the stand which we will take  today that we may share their certainty and thus increase it by
W1:98.4 They will be with us—all who took the stand we take  today will gladly offer us all that they learned and every gain they
W1:98.4  come to make their choice again. We do not choose but for ourselves  today.
W1:98.7 Each hour  today give Him your tiny gift of but five minutes. He will give the
W1:98.8  say, and you will go beyond their sound to what they really mean.  Today you practice with Him as you say:
W1:98.10  the glad receiver of His gifts, that you may give them to the world  today.
W1:99.9  who will yet work miracles, be sure you practice well the idea for  today. Try to perceive the strength in what you say, for these are
W1:99.11 Practice His thought  today, and let His Light seek out and lighten up all darkened spots
W1:99.12 Think of these things in practicing  today, and start your longer practice periods with this instruction
W1:99.16 You have a special message for  today which has the power to remove all forms of doubt and fear
W1:100.5 We will not let ourselves be sad  today. For if we do, we fail to take the part that is essential to
W1:100.6  Today we will attempt to understand joy is our function here. If you
W1:100.7 You are God's messenger  today. You bring His happiness to all you look upon, His peace to
W1:100.7  His message in your happy face. We will prepare ourselves for this  today in our five minute practice periods by feeling happiness arise
W1:100.10  will be there. You are essential to His plan. You are His messenger  today. And you must find what He would have you give.
W1:100.11 Do not forget the idea for  today between your longer practice periods. It is your Self Who calls
W1:100.11  your longer practice periods. It is your Self Who calls to you  today. And it is Him you answer every time you tell yourself you are
W1:101.1  Today we will continue with the theme of happiness. This is a key
W1:101.5 You need the practice periods  today. The exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you believe
W1:101.6 There is no sin. We practice with this thought as often as we can  today because it is the basis for today's idea. God's Will for you is
W1:101.10  Today escape from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and now
W1:101.10  faster to the waiting goal of peace. There is no sin. Remember this  today, and tell yourself as often as you can:
W1:102.2  Today we try to loose its weakened hold still further. And to realize
W1:102.2  existence like itself. You have been slave to nothing. Be you free  today to join the happy Will of God.
W1:102.4 Begin the longer practice periods  today with this acceptance of God's Will for you:
W1:102.7  as Himself. Besides these hourly five minute rests, pause frequently  today to tell yourself that you have now accepted happiness as your
W1:103.3 This basic error we will try again to bring to truth  today and teach ourselves:
W1:103.5 Begin your periods of practicing  today with this association, which corrects the false belief that God
W1:103.6  this one correction to be placed within your mind each waking hour  today. Then welcome all the happiness it brings, as truth replaces
W1:103.7 God, being Love, is also happiness. And it is happiness I seek  today. I cannot fail because I seek the truth.
W1:104.2  Today we would remove all meaningless and self-made gifts which we
W1:104.3  are timeless. And we need not wait to have them. They belong to us  today. Therefore we will to have them now and know in choosing them
W1:104.4 Our longer practice periods  today, the hourly five minutes given truth for your salvation, should
W1:104.7  we come to find what has been given us by Him. We come in confidence  today, aware that what belongs to us in truth is what He gives. And
W1:104.8 So do we clear the way for Him  today by simply recognizing that His Will is done already and that
W1:105.1 God's peace and joy are yours.  Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we will try
W1:105.6  Today accept God's peace and joy as yours. Let Him complete Himself
W1:105.6  through loss. No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace  today, and He will thank you for your gift to Him.
W1:105.7  Today our practice periods will start a little differently. Begin
W1:105.7 Today our practice periods will start a little differently. Begin  today by thinking of those brothers who have been denied by you the
W1:105.9  to you and let your mind be free of all that would prevent success  today. Now are you ready to accept the gift of peace and joy which
W1:105.10 You must succeed  today if you prepare your mind as we suggest, for you have let all
W1:105.11 Spend your five minutes thus with Him each time you can  today, but do not think that less is worthless when you cannot give
W1:105.12 Determine not to interfere  today with what He wills. And if a brother seems to tempt you to deny
W1:106.2  and shows the way to peace to those who cannot see. Be still  today and listen to the truth. Be not deceived by voices of the dead
W1:106.3 Be not afraid  today to circumvent the voices of the world; walk lightly past their
W1:106.3  lightly past their meaningless persuasion. Hear them not. Be still  today, and listen to the truth. Go past all things which do not speak
W1:106.3  His hand, held out to you in welcome and in love. Hear only Him  today, and do not wait to reach Him longer. Hear one Voice today.
W1:106.3  only Him today, and do not wait to reach Him longer. Hear one Voice  today.
W1:106.4  Today the promise of God's Word is kept. Hear and be silent. He would
W1:106.5 Prepare yourself for miracles  today. Today allow your Father's ancient pledge to you and all your
W1:106.5 Prepare yourself for miracles today.  Today allow your Father's ancient pledge to you and all your brothers
W1:106.5  ancient pledge to you and all your brothers to be kept. Hear Him  today, and listen to the Word which lifts the veil which lies upon
W1:106.6 Hear Him  today, and offer Him your voice to speak to all the multitudes who
W1:106.6  to all the multitudes who wait to hear the Word that He will speak  today. Be ready for salvation. It is here and will today be given
W1:106.6  He will speak today. Be ready for salvation. It is here and will  today be given unto you. And you will learn your function from the
W1:106.7 Listen  today, and you will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the
W1:106.8  Today we practice giving, not the way you understand it now, but as
W1:106.11 Be still and listen to the truth  today. For each five minutes spent in listening, a thousand minds are
W1:106.12  Today the holy Word of God is kept through your receiving it to give
W1:106.12  what giving means by listening and learning it of Him. Do not forget  today to reinforce your choice to hear and to receive the Word by
W1:106.12  the Word by this reminder, given to yourself as often as is possible  today:
W1:106.13 Let me be still and listen to the truth. I am the messenger of God  today. My voice is His, to give what I receive.
W1:107.8  Today belongs to truth. Give truth its due, and it will give you
W1:107.9  Today we practice on the happy note of certainty that has been born
W1:107.9  The shaky and unsteady footsteps of illusion is not our approach  today. We are as certain of success as we are sure we live and hope
W1:107.9  and hope and breathe and think. We do not doubt we walk with truth  today and count on it to enter into all the exercises that we do this
W1:107.11  mind which tell you you could be apart from Him. You speak to Him  today and make your pledge to let His function be fulfilled through
W1:107.15 Do not forget your function for  today. Each time you tell yourself with confidence, “Truth will
W1:108.7  Today we practice with the special case of giving and receiving. We
W1:108.7  because it has results we cannot miss. To give is to receive.  Today we will attempt to offer peace to everyone and see how quickly
W1:108.8 So we begin the practice periods with the instruction for  today and say:
W1:108.13 Our very simple lesson for  today will teach you much. Effect and cause will be far better
W1:108.13  we will make much faster progress now. Think of the exercises for  today as quick advances in your learning, made still faster and more
W1:109.1 We ask for rest  today and quietness unshaken by the world's appearances. We ask for
W1:109.6 You rest  today. And as you close your eyes, sink into stillness. Let these
W1:109.6  No more fearful dreams will come now that you rest in God. Take time  today to slip away from dreams and into peace.
W1:109.7 Each hour that you take your rest  today, a tired mind is suddenly made glad, a bird with broken wings
W1:109.8 With each five minutes that you rest  today the world is nearer waking. And the time when rest will be the
W1:109.9 You rest within the peace of God  today and call upon your brothers from your rest, to draw them to
W1:109.9  to their rest along with you. You will be faithful to your trust  today, forgetting no one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle
W1:109.10  all enter here and rest with you. You rest within the peace of God  today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother comes to take his rest and
W1:109.11  together here, for thus our rest is made complete, and what we give  today we have received already. Time is not the guardian of what we
W1:109.11  we have received already. Time is not the guardian of what we give  today. We give to those unborn and those passed by, to every Thought
W1:110.9 You are as God created you.  Today honor your Self. Let graven images you made to be the Son of
W1:110.9  you made to be the Son of God instead of what He is be worshiped not  today. Deep in your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your
W1:110.10 Seek Him  today, and find Him. He will be your savior from all idols you have
W1:110.10  are your idols and how false the images which you believed were you.  Today we make a great advance to truth by letting idols go and
W1:110.10  letting idols go and opening our hands and hearts and minds to God  today.
W1:110.11  with thankful hearts and loving thoughts for all who meet with us  today, for it is thus that we remember Him. And we will say, that we
W1:R3.1 Our third review begins  today. We will review two of the last 20 ideas each day until we have
W1:118.2 [105] God's peace and joy are mine.  Today I will accept God's peace and joy in glad exchange for all the
W1:119.3  To give and to receive are one in truth. I will forgive all things  today, that I may learn how to accept the truth in me and come to
W1:120.2 [109] I rest in God. I rest in God  today and let Him work in me and through me, while I rest in Him in
W1:120.3 [110] I am as God created me. I am God's Son.  Today I lay aside all sick illusions of myself and let my Father tell
W1:121.8  of you, but of the Teacher Who was given you to show the way to you.  Today we practice learning to forgive. If you are willing, you can
W1:121.8  we practice learning to forgive. If you are willing, you can learn  today to take the key to happiness and use it on your own behalf. We
W1:121.9  that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we will try to learn  today that they are one through practicing forgiving toward one whom
W1:122.6  is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son of God. Let us  today rejoice that this is so, for here we have an answer, clear and
W1:122.7  what God has given as its own. God wills salvation be received  today and that the intricacies of your dreams no longer hide their
W1:122.8 Open your eyes  today, and look upon a happy world of safety and of peace.
W1:122.9 Remembering the gifts forgiveness gives, we undertake our practicing  today with hope and faith that this will be the day salvation will be
W1:122.9  day salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it  today, aware we hold the key within our hands, accepting Heaven's
W1:122.11  questions answered, and what your acceptance of the answer brings.  Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers and
W1:122.12 Before the light you will receive  today the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see
W1:122.12  have been held in store for us since time began, kept waiting for  today. Forgiveness offers everything you want. Today all things you
W1:122.12  kept waiting for today. Forgiveness offers everything you want.  Today all things you want are given you.
W1:122.15 Forgiveness offers everything I want.  Today I have accepted this as true. Today I have received the gifts
W1:122.15  offers everything I want. Today I have accepted this as true.  Today I have received the gifts of God.
W1:123.1  Today let us be thankful. We have come to gentler pathways and to
W1:123.2  the gains which you have made; the gifts you have received. Be glad  today in loving thankfulness your Father has not left you to
W1:123.2  you made to take the place of Him and His creation. Give Him thanks  today.
W1:123.4  Today in gratitude we lift our hearts above despair and raise our
W1:123.4  looking downward to the dust. We sing the song of thankfulness  today in honor of the Self Which God has willed to be our true
W1:123.4  of the Self Which God has willed to be our true Identity in Him.  Today we smile on everyone we see and walk with lightened footsteps
W1:123.6 Receive the thanks of God  today, as you give thanks to Him. For He would offer you the thanks
W1:123.7 Receive His thanks and offer yours to Him for 15 minutes twice  today. And you will realize to Whom you offer thanks, and Whom He
W1:124.1  Today we will again give thanks for our Identity in God. Our home is
W1:124.3  we were created, smiles on us and offers us the happiness we gave.  Today we will not doubt His Love for us nor question His protection
W1:124.4  our faith and our awareness of His Presence. We are one with Him  today in recognition and remembrance. We feel Him in our hearts. Our
W1:124.4  His thoughts; our eyes behold His loveliness in all we look upon.  Today we see only the loving and the lovable.
W1:124.7  and we now would give, for we would keep the gifts our Father gave.  Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the
W1:124.8 Peace be to you  today. Secure your peace by practicing awareness you are one with
W1:124.8  awareness you are one with your Creator, as He is with you. Sometime  today, whenever it seems best, devote a half an hour to the thought
W1:124.8  your meditation. We will trust God's Voice to speak as He sees fit  today, certain He will not fail. Abide with Him this half an hour. He
W1:124.9  that nothing happens. You may not be ready to accept the gain  today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you, nor will you
W1:124.10 Perhaps  today, perhaps tomorrow, you will see your own transfiguration in the
W1:124.11 Perhaps  today, perhaps tomorrow, you will look into this glass and understand
W1:124.11  for the body's eyes to see, and yet you can be sure someday, perhaps  today, perhaps tomorrow, you will understand and comprehend and see.
W1:124.12  further jewels to the golden frame that holds the mirror offered you  today by hourly repeating to yourself:
W1:125.1  and of quiet listening. Your Father wills you hear His Word  today. He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides.
W1:125.1  He calls to you from deep within your mind where He abides. Hear Him  today. No peace is possible until His Word is heard around the world;
W1:125.3 In stillness we will hear God's Voice  today without intrusion of our petty thoughts, without our personal
W1:125.3  without all judgment of His holy Word. We will not judge ourselves  today, for what we are cannot be judged. We stand apart from all the
W1:125.3  which the world has laid upon the Son of God. It knows him not.  Today we will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the
W1:125.4  salvation and the holy time of peace. We gather at the throne of God  today, the quiet place within the mind where He abides forever in the
W1:125.6  Today He speaks to you. His Voice awaits your silence, for His Word
W1:125.6  Await His Word in quiet. There is peace within you to be called upon  today to help make ready your most holy mind to hear the Voice of its
W1:125.7 Three times  today, at times most suitable for silence, give ten minutes set apart
W1:125.8  the single Mind of Father and of Son. In quiet listen to your Self  today, and let Him tell you God has never left His Son, and you have
W1:125.9 Only be quiet. You will need no rule but this to let your practicing  today lift you above the thinking of the world and free your vision
W1:125.10 As every hour passes by  today, be still a moment and remind yourself you have a special
W1:126.8  Today we try to understand the truth that giver and receiver are the
W1:126.8  are accustomed. But the Help you need is there. Give Him your faith  today and ask Him that He share your practicing in truth today. And
W1:126.8  your faith today and ask Him that He share your practicing in truth  today. And if you only catch a tiny glimpse of the release which lies
W1:126.8  a tiny glimpse of the release which lies in the idea we practice for  today, this is a day of glory for the world.
W1:126.9 Give 15 minutes twice  today to the attempt to understand today's idea. It is the thought by
W1:126.11 As often as you can, remind yourself you have a goal  today—an aim which makes this day of special value to yourself and
W1:127.6  Today we practice making free our minds of all the laws you think you
W1:127.6  live, and all the changes which you think are part of human destiny.  Today we take the largest single step this course requests in your
W1:127.6  goal. If you achieve the faintest glimmering of what love means  today, you have advanced in distance without measure and in time
W1:127.7 Let us together, then, be glad to give some time to God  today and understand there is no better use for time than this. For
W1:127.7  there is no better use for time than this. For 15 minutes twice  today escape from every law in which you now believe. Open your mind
W1:127.8  and what love means. He will shine through your idle thoughts  today and help you understand the truth of love. In loving
W1:127.9  Today the legion of the future years of waiting for salvation
W1:127.9  before the timelessness of what you learn. Let us give thanks  today that we are spared a future like the past. Today we leave the
W1:127.9  Let us give thanks today that we are spared a future like the past.  Today we leave the past behind us, never more to be remembered. And
W1:128.3 Escape  today the chains you place upon your mind when you perceive salvation
W1:128.5  Today we practice letting go all thought of values we have given to
W1:128.7 Give it ten minutes rest three times  today. And when your eyes are opened afterwards, you will not value
W1:129.6  but what you choose instead you want indeed! Let it be given you  today. It waits but for your choosing it to take the place of all the
W1:129.10  Today the lights of Heaven bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as
W1:129.10  can see it plainly and can understand. A day of grace is given you  today, and we give thanks. This day we realize that what you feared
W1:130.5  Today we will not seek for them nor waste this day in seeking not
W1:130.6  Today we will attempt no compromise where none is possible. The world
W1:130.6  made a choice as all-embracing as its opposite. What we would learn  today is more than just the lesson that you cannot see two worlds. It
W1:130.7 Six times  today in thanks and gratitude we gladly give five minutes to the
W1:130.11 Dismiss temptation easily  today whenever it arises merely by remembering the limits on your
W1:131.7 Why wait for Heaven? It is here  today. Time is the great illusion; it is past or in the future. Yet
W1:131.10  Today we will not choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the
W1:131.10  the place he cannot find. Leave foolish thoughts like these behind  today, and turn your mind to true ideas instead.
W1:131.11  fail who asks to reach the truth, and it is truth we ask to reach  today. We will devote ten minutes to this goal three times today, and
W1:131.11  to reach today. We will devote ten minutes to this goal three times  today, and we will ask to see the rising of the real world to replace
W1:131.15  fail who asks to reach the truth, and it is this request you make  today. Nothing but this has any meaning now; no other goal is valued
W1:131.17 You cannot fail  today. There walks with you the Spirit Heaven sent you that you might
W1:131.17  some day and through His aid slip effortlessly past it to the light.  Today that day has come. Today God keeps His ancient promise to His
W1:131.17  aid slip effortlessly past it to the light. Today that day has come.  Today God keeps His ancient promise to His holy Son, as does His Son
W1:131.18 Remember often that  today should be a time of special gladness, and refrain from dismal
W1:131.18  dismal thoughts and meaningless laments. Salvation's time has come.  Today is set by Heaven Itself to be a time of grace for you and for
W1:131.19  Today I seek and find all that I want. My single purpose offers it to
W1:132.6  and must be borne in mind if you would understand the lesson for  today. It is not pride which tells you that you made the world you
W1:132.8  And some will find it in this course and in the exercises that we do  today.
W1:132.11 What is the lesson for  today except another way of saying that to know your Self is the
W1:132.15  Today our purpose is to free the world from all the idle thoughts we
W1:132.16 Begin the 15 minute periods in which we practice twice  today with this:
W1:133.1  learned, to bring him back to practical concerns. This we will do  today. We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas but dwell
W1:133.3 There are no satisfactions in the world.  Today we list the real criteria by which to test all things you think
W1:133.14  and claim it as their own. We will attempt to reach this state  today, with self-deception laid aside and with an honest willingness
W1:134.14  Today we practice true forgiveness that the time of joining be no
W1:134.15 That this may be accomplished, let us give a quarter of an hour twice  today and spend it with the Guide Who understands the meaning of
W1:135.22 We will anticipate that time  today with present confidence, for this is part of what was planned
W1:135.22  that everything we need is given us for our accomplishment of this  today. We make no plans for how it will be done but realize that our
W1:135.23 For 15 minutes twice  today, we rest from senseless planning and from every thought which
W1:135.23  from every thought which blocks the truth from entering our minds.  Today we will receive instead of plan, that we may give instead of
W1:135.26  your defenses have been aimed at not receiving what you will receive  today. And in the light and joy of simple truth, you will but wonder
W1:135.26  demands for sacrifice. You give up nothing in these times  today when undefended you present yourself to your Creator as you
W1:135.27 He has remembered you.  Today we will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation.
W1:135.28  of all the happiness that comes to you without your planning. Learn  today. And all the world will take this giant stride and celebrate
W1:136.15  its arms and cease to play with folly. It is found at any time— today, if you will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth.
W1:136.15  will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim  today. And we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth
W1:136.16  from us. It merely waits for just this invitation which we give  today. We introduce it with a healing prayer to help us rise above
W1:136.17  will accept the truth of what I am and let my mind be wholly healed  today.
W1:137.12  choice is but to ask what cannot be to be, and this cannot succeed.  Today we ask that only truth will occupy our minds, that thoughts of
W1:137.14  and give ten minutes to these thoughts with which we will conclude  today at night as well:
W1:138.7 So we begin  today considering the choice that time was made to help us make. Such
W1:138.10  to make a choice like this? And shall we hesitate to choose  today?
W1:139.9  of God's Son is unassailed by his belief he knows not what he is.  Today accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept
W1:139.9  is but this that we are asked to do. It is but this that we will do  today.
W1:139.10  at night we will devote to dedicate our minds to our assignment for  today. We start with this review of what our mission is:
W1:139.13  with all aspects of creation, we repeat our dedication to our cause  today each hour, as we lay aside all thoughts that would distract us
W1:140.7 Let us not try  today to seek to cure what cannot suffer sickness. Healing must be
W1:140.8  Today we seek to change our minds about the source of sickness, for
W1:140.8  a cure for all illusions, not another shift among them. We will try  today to find the source of healing, which is in our minds because
W1:140.9 We will not be misled  today by what appears to us as sick. We go beyond appearances today
W1:140.9  misled today by what appears to us as sick. We go beyond appearances  today and reach the source of healing from which nothing is exempt.
W1:140.10  restoring saneness to the Son of God. No voice but this can cure.  Today we hear a single Voice which speaks to us of truth where all
W1:140.11  we can hear our Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We come to Him  today.
W1:140.14  our minds nor offer proof to us that it is real. This will we learn  today. And we will say our prayer for healing hourly and take a
W1:R4.1  for the second part of learning how the truth can be applied.  Today we will begin to concentrate on readiness for what will follow
W1:143.1 [125] In quiet I receive God's Word  today.
W1:151.13 We practice wordlessly  today, except at the beginning of the time you spend with God. We
W1:152.8 Let us  today be truly humble and accept what we have made as what it is. The
W1:152.9  Today we practice true humility, abandoning the false pretense by
W1:153.8 We will not play such childish games  today. For our true purpose is to save the world, and we would not
W1:153.9 We look past dreams  today and recognize that we need no defense because we are created
W1:153.15  Today we practice in a form we will maintain for quite a while. We
W1:153.19  Today our theme is our defenselessness. We clothe ourselves in it as
W1:154.1 Let us  today be neither arrogant nor falsely humble. We have gone beyond
W1:154.10 It is this joining that we undertake to recognize  today. We will not seek to keep our minds apart from Him Who speaks
W1:154.12 Let us but learn this lesson for  today: we will not recognize what we receive until we give it. You
W1:154.13 Our lesson for  today is stated thus:
W1:154.15  realize these holy words are true. They are the message sent to us  today from our Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed our
W1:155.3 This is the simple choice we make  today. The mad illusion will remain awhile in evidence for those to
W1:155.14  His own, which are the same, we practice gladly with this thought  today:
W1:156.8  a day, till certainty has ended doubting and established peace.  Today let doubting cease. God speaks for you in answering your
W1:157.1  awareness. You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death.  Today you learn to feel the joy of life.
W1:157.3  Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will
W1:157.4 He will direct your practicing  today, for what you ask for now is what He wills. And having joined
W1:157.5  and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience  today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for
W1:157.6 Your body will be sanctified  today, its only purpose being now to bring the vision of what you
W1:157.8  have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose and will serve it well.  Today we will embark upon a course you have not dreamed of. But the
W1:157.8  given you has dreamed for you this journey which you make and start  today with the experience this day holds out to you to be your own.
W1:158.2  All this cannot be learned. What, then, are you to learn to give  today? Our lesson yesterday evoked a theme found early in the text.
W1:158.8  not merely disappear when this has been perceived. And this you give  today—see no one as a body. Greet him as the Son of God he is,
W1:158.10  your sins have been forgiven by yourself. Each brother whom you meet  today provides another chance to let Christ's vision shine on you and
W1:158.11  with its immortal love. We practice seeing with the eyes of Christ  today. And by the holy gifts we give, Christ's vision looks upon
W1:160.9  Today we offer thanks that Christ has come to search the world for
W1:161.1  Today we practice differently and take a stand against our anger,
W1:161.11  Today we practice in a form we have attempted earlier. Your readiness
W1:161.11  attempted earlier. Your readiness is closer now, and you will come  today nearer Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching it, you
W1:161.11  Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching it, you will succeed  today. And once you have succeeded, you will not be willing to accept
W1:162.4  Today we practice simply. For the words we use are mighty, and they
W1:162.5 We honor you  today. Yours is the right to perfect holiness you now accept. With
W1:162.6  words dispel the night, and darkness is no more. The light is come  today to bless the world, for you have recognized the Son of God, and
W1:163.8  they would be instantly released. And you will show them this  today. There is no death, and we renounce it now in every form for
W1:163.8  form it takes must therefore be illusion. This the stand we take  today. And it is given us to look past death and see the life beyond.
W1:163.9 Our Father, bless our eyes  today. We are Your messengers, and we would look upon the glorious
W1:164.1  truth be recognized? The present is the only time there is. And so  today, this instant, now, we come to look upon what is forever there
W1:164.3 How holy is your practicing  today, as Christ gives you His sight and hears for you and answers in
W1:164.3  which come from nearer than the world are clear to you who will  today accept the gifts He gives.
W1:164.4  of holiness in you the thought of sin has never touched. All this  today you will remember. Faithfulness in practicing today will bring
W1:164.4  All this today you will remember. Faithfulness in practicing  today will bring rewards so great and so completely different from
W1:164.7 We will not judge  today. We will receive but what is given us from judgment made beyond
W1:164.7  what is given us from judgment made beyond the world. Our practicing  today becomes our gift of thankfulness for our release from blindness
W1:164.9  worthy to be sought above the world's unsatisfying goals? Let not  today slip by without the gifts it holds for you receiving your
W1:165.4 Deny not Heaven. It is yours  today but for the asking. Nor need you perceive how great the gift,
W1:165.7 Practice  today in hope. For hope indeed is justified. Your doubts are
W1:167.10 Let us  today be children of the truth and not deny our holy heritage. Our
W1:167.10  an opposite to what he is? We will not ask for death in any form  today. Nor will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an
W1:167.11 His holy home we strive to keep  today, as He established it and wills it be forever and forever. He
W1:167.11  it and wills it be forever and forever. He is Lord of what we think  today. And in His thoughts, which have no opposite, we understand
W1:168.3  Today we ask of God the gift He has most carefully preserved within
W1:168.5 It is a new and holy day  today, for we receive what has been given us. Our faith lies in the
W1:168.6  receive. Such is His Will because He loves His Son. To Him we pray  today, returning but the words He gave to us through His Own Voice,
W1:169.14 Our learning goal  today does not exceed this prayer, yet in the world, what could be
W1:170.2  it grow and swell and rage. And thus is fear protected, not escaped.  Today we learn a lesson which can save you more delay and needless
W1:170.8  Today we look upon this cruel god dispassionately. And we note that
W1:170.12 The choice you make  today is certain. For you look for the last time upon this bit of
W1:174.3 [158]  Today I learn to give as I receive. God is but Love, and therefore so
W1:181.3 Therefore in practicing  today, we first let all such little focuses give way to our great
W1:181.10  We seek for this remembrance as we turn our minds to practicing  today. We look neither ahead nor backwards. We look straight into the
W1:182.3 We speak  today for everyone who walks this world, for he is not at home. He
W1:182.9 Rest with Him frequently  today. For He was willing to become a little child that you might
W1:182.10  is protected by defenselessness. Go home with Him from time to time  today. You are as much an alien here as He.
W1:182.11 Take time  today to lay aside your shield which profits nothing and lay down the
W1:182.12  be denied. The holy Child remains with you. His home is yours.  Today He gives you His defenselessness, and you accept it in exchange
W1:183.6  altar which reaches to God Himself and to His Son. Practice but this  today; repeat God's Name slowly again and still again. Become
W1:183.10  Today you can achieve a state in which you will experience the gifts
W1:183.10  the world forgot and offer it your own remembering. You can accept  today the part you play in its salvation and your own as well, and
W1:183.12  peace eternal. In our Father's Name, we would experience this peace  today. And in His Name it shall be given us.
W1:185.7 Let us  today devote our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the
W1:185.8  Today devote your practice periods to careful searching of your mind
W1:185.14 It is this one intent we seek  today, uniting our desires with the need of every heart, the call of
W1:185.14  as God created it. With help like this beside us, can we fail  today as we request the peace of God be given us?
W1:186.3  humility request but this? And what could arrogance deny but this?  Today we will not shrink from our assignment on the specious grounds
W1:186.4 All false humility we lay aside  today that we may listen to God's Voice reveal to us what He would
W1:188.8 We practice coming nearer to the light in us  today. We take our wandering thoughts and gently bring them back to
W1:189.6  Today we pass illusions as we seek to reach to what is true in us and
W1:189.6  Its sight which is the gift Its Love bestows on us. We learn the way  today. It is as sure as Love Itself, to Which it carries us. For its
W1:189.9 And so  today we do not choose the way in which we go to Him. But we do
W1:191.7 Be glad  today how very easily is hell undone. You need but tell yourself:
W1:191.12  And we will sleep no more and dream of death. Then join with me  today. Your glory is the light that saves the world. Do not withhold
W1:192.10 Be merciful  today. The Son of God deserves your mercy. It is he who asks that you
W1:193.14 We will attempt  today to overcome a thousand seeming obstacles to peace in just one
W1:193.14  another minute, or another instant. Time was made for this. Use it  today for what its purpose is. Morning and night, devote what time
W1:193.16 Each hour spend a little time  today, and in the days to come, in practicing the lesson in
W1:194.6 If you can see the lesson for  today as the deliverance it really is, you will not hesitate to give
W1:195.9  Today we learn to think of gratitude in place of anger, malice, and
W1:196.2  in its sure protection, can be found in the idea we practice for  today. It may in fact appear to be a sign that punishment can never
W1:196.4  from bondage to the state of perfect freedom. Let us take this step  today that we may quickly go the way salvation shows us, taking every
W1:196.8 Our next steps will be easy if you take this one  today. From there we go ahead quite rapidly. For once you understand
W1:196.9 Salvation's song can certainly be heard in the idea we practice for  today. If it can but be you you crucify, you did not hurt the world
W1:196.11  Him Father and yourself His Son. Pray that the instant may be soon— today. Step back from fear and make advance to love.
W1:198.9  Today we practice letting freedom come to make its home with you. The
W1:198.11 Do not forget  today that there can be no form of suffering that fails to hide an
W1:198.12  is the gift the Holy Spirit holds for you from God your Father. Let  today be celebrated both on earth and in your holy home as well. Be
W1:198.15  Today we come still nearer to the end of everything that yet would
W1:198.15  For He would give to us the gift that God has given us through Him  today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has come. The
W1:198.15  it time for your deliverance. The time has come. The time has come  today.
W1:199.5 Cherish today's idea, and practice it  today and every day. Make it a part of every practice period you
W1:199.7 Be free  today, and carry freedom as your gift to those who still believe they
W1:199.8  this? Then practice well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for  today. Your brothers stand released with you in it; the world is
W1:200.9 Let us not lose our way again  today. We go to Heaven, and the path is straight. Only if we attempt
W1:200.11  Today we seek no idols. Peace cannot be found in them. The peace of
W1:200.11  God is ours, and only this will we accept and want. Peace be to us  today. For we have found a simple, happy way to leave the world of
W1:218.1  through my sightless eyes I cannot see the vision of my glory. Yet  today I can behold this glory and be glad. I am not a body. I am
W2:221.1 Father, I come to You  today to seek the peace that You alone can give. I come in silence.
W2:221.1  of my mind, I wait and listen for Your Voice. My Father, speak to me  today. I come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and
W2:222.1  shines on Him. How still is he who knows the truth of what He speaks  today!
W2:223.2  longer. We are lonely here and long for Heaven where we are at home.  Today we would return. Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we
W2:227.1 Father, it is  today that I am free because my will is Yours. I thought to make
W2:227.2 And so  today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left.
W2:228.2  part of You. And my mistakes about myself are dreams. I let them go  today. And I stand ready to receive Your Word alone for what I really
W2:232.1  my mind, my Father, when I wake and shine on me throughout the day  today. Let every minute be a time in which I dwell with You. And let
W2:232.2 This is as every day should be.  Today practice the end of fear. Have faith in Him Who is your Father.
W2:233.1 Father, I give You all my thoughts  today. I would have none of mine. In place of them, give me Your own.
W2:233.1  goals which cannot be obtained and wasting time in vain imaginings.  Today I come to You. I will step back and merely follow You. Be You
W2:233.2  Today we have one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk together, we
W2:234.1  Today we will anticipate the time when dreams of sin and guilt are
W2:234.1  peace of God the Father and the Son. This we accept as wholly true  today.
W2:236.1  to serve whatever purpose I perceive in it. My mind can only serve.  Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit to employ as He sees fit.
W2:236.2 Father, my mind is open to Your thoughts and closed  today to every thought but Yours. I rule my mind and offer it to You.
W2:237.1  Today I will accept the truth about myself. I will arise in glory and
W2:237.2 Christ is my eyes  today, and His the ears which listen to the Voice of God today.
W2:237.2  is my eyes today, and His the ears which listen to the Voice of God  today. Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your Son and my true
W2:238.2 And so again  today we pause to think how much our Father loves us. And how dear
W2:239.1 Let not the truth about ourselves  today be hidden by a false humility. Let us instead be thankful for
W2:240.1  but to your own illusions of yourself. Let us not be deceived  today. We are the Son of God. There is no fear in us, for we are each
W2:240.2  are our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give us faith  today to recognize Your Son and set him free. Let us forgive him in
W2:241.1 What joy there is  today! It is a time of special celebration. For today holds out the
W2:241.1 What joy there is today! It is a time of special celebration. For  today holds out the instant to the darkened world where its release
W2:241.1  sorrows pass away and pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns  today upon a world set free. This is the time of hope for countless
W2:241.1  be united now as you forgive them all. For I will be forgiven by you  today.
W2:242.1 I will not lead my life alone  today. I do not understand the world. And so to try to lead my life
W2:242.2 And so we give  today to You. We come with wholly open minds. We do not ask for
W2:243.1 I will be honest with myself  today. I will not think that I already know what must remain beyond
W2:243.1  the whole from bits of my perception, which are all that I can see.  Today I recognize that this is so. And so I am relieved of judgment
W2:243.2 Father,  today I leave creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in
W2:247.2 So would I look on everyone  today. My brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood created them and
W2:247.2  them and gave them all to me as part of You and my own Self as well.  Today I honor You through them, and thus I hope this day to recognize
W2:250.1 Let me behold the Son of God  today and witness to his glory. Let me not try to obscure the holy
W2:250.2 He is Your Son, my Father. And  today I would behold his gentleness instead of my illusions. He is
W2:250.2  of my illusions. He is what I am, and as I see him, so I see myself.  Today I would see truly that this day I may at last identify with him.
W2:WIS.5  children's toys? How soon will you be ready to come home? Perhaps  today? There is no sin. Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold
W2:254.1 Father,  today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence, I would come
W2:254.1  the truth. And truth is but Your Will, which I would share with You  today.
W2:254.2  Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. When such
W2:255.1 It does not seem to me that I can choose to have but peace  today. And yet my God assures me that His Son is like Himself. Let me
W2:255.1  in Him Who says I am God's Son. And let the peace I choose be mine  today bear witness to the truth of what He says. God's Son can have
W2:255.1  and must remain forever in the peace of Heaven. In his name I give  today to finding what my Father wills for me, accepting it as mine
W2:255.2  You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I choose to spend  today.
W2:256.1  whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream  today. God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by which our minds
W2:257.1  depression. Let us therefore be determined to remember what we want  today that we may unify our thoughts and actions meaningfully and
W2:257.1  and actions meaningfully and achieve only what God would have us do  today.
W2:257.2  our salvation. Let us not forget that we can have no will but Yours  today. And thus our purpose must be Yours as well if we would reach
W2:259.2 Father, I would not be insane  today. I would not be afraid of love nor seek for refuge in its
W2:260.1  remaining part of What created me. Your Son, my Father, calls on You  today. Let me remember You created me. Let me remember my Identity.
W2:260.1  vision, through which I would look upon my brothers and myself  today.
W2:261.1  within the citadel where I am safe and cannot be attacked. Let me  today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in
W2:261.2 Let me not seek for idols. I would come, my Father, home to You  today. I choose to be as You created me and find the Son whom You
W2:262.1 Father, You have one Son. And it is he that I would look upon  today. He is Your one creation. Why should I perceive a thousand
W2:264.1  Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We come to You in Your own Name  today, to be at peace within Your everlasting Love.
W2:264.2 My brothers, join with me in this  today. This is salvation's prayer. Must we not join in what will save
W2:265.1  that what I feared was in the world instead of in my mind alone.  Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which creation
W2:268.1 Let me not be Your critic, Lord,  today, and judge against You. Let me not attempt to interfere with
W2:268.2 Let not our sight be blasphemous  today nor let our ears attend to lying tongues. Only reality is free
W2:268.2  of loss. Only reality is wholly safe. And it is only this we seek  today.
W2:269.1 I ask Your blessing on my sight  today. It is the means which You have chosen to become the way to
W2:269.1  to truth. I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I made.  Today I choose to see a world forgiven in which everyone shows me the
W2:269.2  Today our sight is blessed indeed. We share one vision as we look
W2:270.2 The quiet of  today will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to
W2:270.2  and through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes  today. And through His sight, we offer healing to the world through
W2:271.1  I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me.  Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen
W2:271.2  to be restored to me. And this I choose to be what I would look upon  today.
W2:272.2  Today we pass illusions by. And if we hear temptation call to us to
W2:274.1 Father,  today I would let all things be as You created them and give Your Son
W2:274.2 A special blessing comes to us  today from Him Who is our Father. Give this day to Him and there will
W2:274.2  Who is our Father. Give this day to Him and there will be no fear  today because the day is given unto Love.
W2:275.1 Let us  today attend the Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no
W2:275.1  the Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no more true  today than any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time
W2:275.2 Your healing Voice protects all things  today, and so I leave all things to You. I need be anxious over
W2:278.2  and my creation and have brought a dream of fear into my mind.  Today I would not dream. I choose the way to You instead of madness
W2:279.2 I will accept Your promises  today and give my faith to them. My Father loves the Son Whom He
W2:280.2  Today let me give honor to Your Son, for thus alone I find the way to
W2:281.2 I will not hurt myself  today. For I am far beyond all pain. My Father placed me safe in
W2:282.1 If I could realize but this  today, salvation would be reached for all the world. This the
W2:282.2  The name of fear is simply a mistake. Let me not be afraid of truth  today.
W2:284.1  to change all thoughts that hurt. And I would go beyond these words  today, go past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance of the
W2:284.2  grief and pain must be impossible. Let me not fail to trust in You  today, accepting but the joyous as Your gifts, accepting but the
W2:285.1  Today I wake with joy, expecting but the happy things of God to come
W2:285.1  and how would grief and loss avail me, if insanity departs from me  today and I accept my holiness instead?
W2:286.1 Father, how still  today! How quietly do all things fall in place! This is the day that
W2:286.2 The stillness of  today will give us hope that we have found the way and traveled far
W2:286.2  found the way and traveled far along it to a wholly certain goal.  Today we will not doubt the end which God Himself has promised us. We
W2:288.2 Forgive me, then,  today. And you will know you have forgiven me if you behold your
W2:290.2 With this resolve, I come to You and ask Your strength to hold me up  today while I but seek to do Your Will. You cannot fail to hear me,
W2:290.2  You already given me, and I am sure that I will see my happiness  today.
W2:291.1 Christ's vision looks through me  today. His sight shows me all things forgiven and at peace and offers
W2:291.1  for myself and for the world as well. What loveliness we look upon  today! What holiness we see surrounding us! And it is given us to
W2:293.2 Father, let not Your holy world escape my sight  today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the
W2:293.2  all past mistakes. And I would see only this world before my eyes  today.
W2:294.1  unneeded and cast off. Let me not see it more than this  today—of service for a while and fit to serve, to keep its
W2:295.1 Christ asks that He may use my eyes  today and thus redeem the world. He asks this gift that He may offer
W2:295.2  one I give that it be given me. Help me to use the eyes of Christ  today and thus allow the Holy Spirit's love to bless all things that
W2:296.1 The Holy Spirit needs my voice  today, that all the world may listen to Your Voice and hear Your Word
W2:296.1  I may find escape and hear the Word Your holy Voice will speak to me  today.
W2:296.2 We teach  today what we would learn and that alone. And so our learning goal
W2:298.2 Father, I come to You  today, because I would not follow any way but Yours. You are beside
W2:300.1  And it is this serenity we seek, unclouded, obvious, and sure  today.
W2:300.2 We seek Your holy world  today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our way a while. But we
W2:300.2  to be restored to Heaven and our true Identity. And we give thanks  today the world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that
W2:301.1  I judge it not. And therefore is it only what You will. Let me  today behold it uncondemned through happy eyes forgiveness has
W2:301.1  for their source is gone. Father, I will not judge Your world  today.
W2:301.2  the world we saw was false, and we will look upon God's world  today.
W2:302.1  must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world  today that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but
W2:303.1 Watch with me, angels; watch with me  today. Let all God's holy thoughts surround me and be still with me
W2:303.1  Let Him no longer be a stranger here, for He is born again in me  today.
W2:305.2  Christ is given us because it is Your will that we be saved. Help us  today but to accept Your gift and judge it not. For it has come to us
W2:306.1 What but Christ's vision would I use  today when it can offer me a day in which I see a world so like to
W2:306.1  see a world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me?  Today I can forget the world I made. Today I can go past all fear and
W2:306.1  ancient memory returns to me? Today I can forget the world I made.  Today I can go past all fear and be restored to love and holiness and
W2:306.1  can go past all fear and be restored to love and holiness and peace.  Today I am redeemed and born anew into a world of mercy and of care;
W2:309.2 The step I take  today, my Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of sin. Your
W2:310.1  Your grace has come to me and that it is Your will that I be free  today.
W2:310.2  are restored to peace and holiness. There is no room in us for fear  today, for we have welcomed love into our hearts.
W2:311.1  cannot see totality and therefore judges falsely. Let us not use it  today but make a gift of it to Him Who has a different use for it. He
W2:311.2 Father, we wait with open mind  today to hear Your Judgment of the Son You love. We do not know him,
W2:312.2 I have no purpose for  today except to look upon a liberated world, set free from all the
W2:312.2  from all the judgments I have made. Father, this is Your will for me  today, and therefore it must be my goal as well.
W2:313.2 Let us  today behold each other in the sight of Christ. How beautiful we are!
W2:313.2  we are! How holy and how loving! Brother, come and join with me  today. We save the world when we are joined. For in our vision it
W2:315.2 I thank You, Father, for the many gifts that come to me  today and every day from every Son of God. My brothers are unlimited
W2:316.2 Father, I would accept Your gifts  today. I do not recognize them. Yet I trust that You Who gave them
W2:317.2 Father, Your way is what I choose  today. Where it would lead me, do I choose to go; what it would have
W2:318.2 Let me  today, my Father, take the role You offer me in Your request that I

W2:330.2  to know our one Identity we share with You. We would return to It  today, to be made free forever from all our mistakes and to be saved
W2:331.2  that we share it. Let us look upon the holy sights forgiveness shows  today that we may find the peace of God. Amen.
W2:332.2 We would not bind the world again  today. Fear holds it prisoner. And yet Your Love has given us the
W2:334.1  rest on false perception. Let me not accept such meager gifts again  today. God's Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and

W1:12.5  one. All terms which cross your mind are suitable subjects for  today's exercises. Their seeming quality does not matter.
W1:12.6 Be sure that you do not alter the time intervals between applying  today's idea to what you think is pleasant and what you think is
W1:13.1  Today's idea is really another form of the preceding one, except that
W1:13.4  different way from the preceding ones. With eyes closed, repeat  today's idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and look about you
W1:14.2  a minute at most. Do not have more than three practice periods with  today's idea unless you find them comfortable. If you do, it will be

W1:16.4  quality which you assign to it, is a suitable subject for applying  today's idea.
W1:16.7 As usual, use  today's idea whenever you are aware of a particular thought which

W1:18.2  Today's idea does not refer to what you see as much as to how you see
W1:19.3 The minute or so of mind searching which  today's exercises require are to be undertaken with eyes closed. The

W1:26.5 Six practice periods are required in applying  today's idea. A full two minutes should be attempted for each of
W1:26.6  because a longer time than usual should be spent with each one.  Today's idea should be applied as follows:
W1:26.15 Conclude each practice period by repeating  today's idea once more.
W1:27.1  Today's idea expresses something stronger than mere determination. It

W1:27.7  real question is how often will you remember? How much do you want  today's idea to be true? Answer one of these questions, and you have
W1:27.7  you feel that you were perfectly sincere while you were repeating  today's idea, you can be sure that you have saved yourself many years
W1:28.7  chosen randomly, but each one should be accorded equal sincerity as  today's idea is applied to it in an attempt to acknowledge the equal
W1:29.1  every idea we have used thus far and all subsequent ones as well.  Today's idea is the whole basis for vision.

W1:29.4  selection, which may be particularly tempting in connection with  today's idea because of its wholly alien nature. Remember that any
W1:30.3  Today's idea should be applied as often as possible throughout the
W1:30.4  present range as well as those you can actually see, as you apply  today's idea. Real vision is not only unlimited by space and
W1:30.5  to this idea as well, devote several practice periods to applying  today's idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to
W1:30.5  subjects come to mind and looking within rather than without.  Today's idea applies equally to both.
W1:31.1  Today's idea is the introduction to your declaration of release.
W1:31.3  on your part. As you sit and quietly watch your thoughts, repeat  today's idea to yourself as often as you care to, but with no sense

W1:34.7  its original form. If you find you need more than one application of  today's idea to help you change your mind in any specific context,
W1:35.1  Today's idea does not describe the way you see yourself now. It does,
W1:35.3  in truth. We will use a somewhat different kind of application for  today's idea because the emphasis for today is on the perceiver
W1:35.4  of the three five-minute practice periods today, begin by repeating  today's idea to yourself and then close your eyes and search your
W1:35.8  to your reactions to that situation, and use them in applying  today's idea. After you have named each one, add:
W1:35.10  up specific things to fill the interval, but merely relax and repeat  today's idea slowly until something occurs to you. Although nothing

W1:38.3 In  today's exercises, we will apply the power of your holiness to all
W1:38.8  the theme “There is nothing my holiness cannot do.” The purpose of  today's exercises is to begin to instill in you a sense that you have
W1:39.3  not have. A savior must be saved. How else can he teach salvation?  Today's exercises will apply to you alone, recognizing that your

W1:40.3 Today's exercises take little time and no effort. Repeat  today's idea, and then add several of the attributes which you
W1:41.1  Today's idea will eventually overcome completely the sense of
W1:41.5  your eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat  today's idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything.
W1:41.6 From time to time, you may repeat  today's idea if you find it helpful. But most of all, try to sink
W1:41.8 Throughout the day, use  today's idea often, repeating it very slowly and preferably with eyes
W1:42.4  think of nothing except thoughts which occur to you in relation to  today's idea. You might think, for example:
W1:42.8  that active searching for relevant thoughts is not appropriate for  today's exercises. Try merely to step back and let the thoughts come.
W1:43.8  and longer phase of the exercise period, close your eyes, repeat  today's idea again, and then let whatever relevant thoughts occur to
W1:43.10 Or any thought related more or less directly to  today's idea is suitable. The thoughts need not bear an obvious
W1:43.11  begin to be aware of thoughts which are clearly out of accord with  today's idea, or if you seem to be unable to think of anything, open
W1:43.12 In applying  today's idea in the shorter practice periods, the form may vary
W1:43.18  not to allow long periods of time to slip by without remembering  today's idea and thus remembering your function.
W1:44.7 Begin the practice period by repeating  today's idea with your eyes open and close them slowly, repeating the

W1:45.1  Today's idea holds the key to what your real thoughts are. They are

W1:46.12 The practice period should end, however, with a repetition of  today's idea as originally stated.
W1:47.4  ones are urged. Close your eyes and begin as usual by repeating  today's idea. Then spend a minute or two in searching for situations
W1:48.2  Today's practice periods will be very short, very simple, and very
W1:49.5 Do not forget to repeat  today's idea very frequently. Do so with your eyes open when
W1:52.1  Today's review covers these ideas:
W1:55.1  Today's review includes the following:
W1:60.1 These ideas are for  today's review:
W1:61.2 To the ego,  today's idea is the epitome of self-glorification. But the ego does
W1:61.3 True humility requires that you accept  today's idea because it is God's Voice Which tells you it is true.
W1:61.9  Today's idea goes far beyond the ego's petty views of what you are
W1:62.4 Let us be glad to begin and end this day by practicing  today's idea and to use it as frequently as possible throughout the
W1:63.5  for such an opportunity. No chance should be lost for reinforcing  today's idea.
W1:64.1  Today's idea is merely another way of saying, “Let me not wander into

W1:66.13  Today's idea is another giant stride in the perception of the same as

W1:68.6 Begin  today's extended practice period by searching your mind for those
W1:68.11 The short practice periods should include a quick application of  today's idea in this form, whenever any thought of grievance arises
W1:69.9  will want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of  today's idea to you and your happiness, remind yourself that your
W1:70.2 The seeming “cost” of accepting  today's idea is this: it means that nothing outside yourself can save
W1:70.3  Today's idea places you in charge of the universe, where you belong
W1:71.9 Begin the two longer practice periods for today by thinking about  today's idea, and realizing that it contains two parts, each making
W1:71.13  to hold grievances today, and respond to them with this form of  today's idea:
W1:73.17  several times an hour. It is most important, however, to apply  today's idea in this form immediately you are tempted to hold a
W1:74.2 There is great peace in  today's idea. And the exercises for today are directed towards
W1:76.12  joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. We will repeat  today's idea until we have listened and understood there are no laws
W1:81.3 Some specific forms for applying  today's idea when specific difficulties seem to arise might be:
W1:84.1 These are the ideas for  today's review:
W1:85.1  Today's review will cover these ideas:
W1:91.14  miracles are seen in light. Also, be sure to meet temptation with  today's idea. This form would be helpful for this special purpose:
W1:95.1  Today's idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one
W1:95.20 Throughout the day do not forget your goal. Repeat  today's idea as frequently as possible and understand each time you
W1:95.20  with you. To everyone you meet today be sure to give the promise of  today's idea and tell him this:
W1:97.1  Today's idea identifies you with your One Self. It accepts no split
W1:98.7  of but five minutes. He will give the words you use in practicing  today's idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack. His
W1:98.7  you lack. His words will join with yours and make each repetition of  today's idea a total dedication, made in faith as perfect and as sure
W1:98.12  for the next five minutes you will spend again with Him. Repeat  today's idea while you wait for the glad time to come to you again.
W1:100.8 Begin the exercises with the thought  today's idea contains. Then realize your part is to be happy. Only
W1:101.6  this thought as often as we can today because it is the basis for  today's idea. God's Will for you is perfect happiness because there
W1:101.10 Today escape from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and now  today's idea brings wings to speed you on and hope to go still faster

W1:110.5 The healing power of  today's idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of all miracles, the
W1:110.5  great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the world. Practice  today's idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you
W1:126.1  Today's idea, completely alien to the ego and the thinking of the
W1:126.9 Give 15 minutes twice today to the attempt to understand  today's idea. It is the thought by which forgiveness takes its proper
W1:126.10  place where thoughts are changed and false beliefs laid by. Repeat  today's idea, and ask for help in understanding what it really means.
W1:132.9  Today's idea is true because the world does not exist. And if it is
W1:132.10  must now be stressed again, for it contains the firm foundation for  today's idea. You are as God created you. There is no place where you

Tx:11.72  you look within, and we will look upon the world as God created it  together. Through the eyes of Christ, only the real world exists and
Tx:11.83  of love to unite all things unto itself, and to hold all things  together by extending its wholeness.
Tx:12.75  already overcome every temptation that would hold you back. We walk  together on the way to quietness that is the gift of God. Hold me
Tx:12.75  you need? We will restore to you the peace of mind that we must find  together. The Holy Spirit will teach you to awaken unto us and to
Tx:13.3  be seen in everything and everywhere. Yet only God can gather them  together by crowning them as one with the final gift of eternity.
Tx:13.32  guilt and wholly loving, is bright within you. Let us look upon him  together and love him. For in our love of him is your guiltlessness.
Tx:13.34  make the Father one with His own Son. Alone we are all lowly, but  together we shine with brightness so intense that none of us alone
Tx:13.91  and Father, and awaking gladly to His love and holiness, which join  together as the truth in you, making you one with Him.
Tx:14.10 Teachers of innocence, each in his own way, have joined  together, taking their part in the unified curriculum of the
Tx:14.16 The journey that we undertake  together is the exchange of dark for light, of ignorance for
Tx:14.19  of guiltlessness shines guilt away because, when they are brought  together, the truth of one must make the falsity of its opposite
Tx:14.24  or ignorance are yours, but not both. Opposites must be brought  together and not kept apart. For their separation is only in your
Tx:14.27  both maintained. It has been recognized that if they were brought  together their joint acceptance would become impossible. But if one
Tx:14.28  each in a separate place can be endowed with firm belief. Bring them  together, and the fact of their complete incompatibility is instantly
Tx:14.30  light, and you the darkness. They cannot coexist when both of you  together look on them. His judgment must prevail, and He will give it
Tx:14.35  may choose to lead yourselves astray, but you can only be brought  together by the Guide appointed for you. He will surely lead you to
Tx:14.36  the Father and His creations, and the creations of His Son with them  together. There is one link which joins them all together, holding
Tx:14.36  His Son with them together. There is one link which joins them all  together, holding them in the oneness out of which creation happens.
Tx:14.37  can coexist beside it. Here your meager offerings are brought  together with the gift of God, and only what is worthy of the Father
Tx:14.38  to holiness, or what you made to what you are. The bringing  together of truth and illusion, of the ego to God, is the Holy
Tx:14.48  thoughts, which, even though they may conflict, can occur to you  together and in great numbers. You are so used to this that it can
Tx:14.50 The little sanity which still remains is held  together by a sense of order which you establish. Yet the very fact
Tx:14.53  impressive but which lack any consistent sense when they are put  together.
Tx:14.54  of the ego's judgments. Separately, they seem to hold, but put them  together and the system of thought which arises from joining them is
Tx:14.54  For no one alone can judge the ego truly. Yet when two or more join  together in searching for truth, the ego can no longer defend its
Tx:14.55  unless he joins with you in seeking it. If you undertake the search  together, you bring with you a light so powerful that what you see is
Tx:14.72  you pass the test of perfect peace, for peace and understanding go  together and never can be found alone. Each brings the other with it,
Tx:15.5  doing both by using dissociation for holding its contradictory aims  together so that they seem to be reconciled. The ego teaches thus:
Tx:15.29  join with me, who decided for holiness for you. It is our task  together to restore the awareness of magnitude to the host whom God
Tx:15.31  you can learn of me. I would but teach you what is yours, so that  together we can replace the shabby littleness that binds the host of
Tx:15.33  in His that we may release all those who would be bound, proclaiming  together that the Son of God is host to Him. Thus will we let no one
Tx:15.41  with those around you and with God Who surrounds all of you  together.
Tx:15.57  holy instant, we share our faith in God's Son because we recognize  together that he is wholly worthy of it, and in our appreciation of
Tx:15.63  else, or would attempt to be nothing else and something else  together, the language of communication, which you know perfectly,
Tx:15.64  brothers is remembered with Him. For communication is remembered  together, as is truth. There is no exclusion in the holy instant
Tx:15.71  that the ego can ensure the guilt which holds all its relationships  together.
Tx:15.72 Yet they only seem to be  together. For relationships, to the ego, mean only that bodies are
Tx:15.72  together. For relationships, to the ego, mean only that bodies are  together. It is always physical closeness that the ego demands, and
Tx:15.75  must be kept private or you will lose them, and if your bodies are  together your minds remain your own. The union of bodies thus becomes
Tx:15.80  aside but what you still desire with all your hearts. Let us join  together in making the holy instant all that there is by desiring
Tx:15.80  Behold the only need that God and His Son share and will to meet  together. You are not alone in this. The will of your creations calls
Tx:15.92  Release me as I will your release. The time of Christ we celebrate  together, for it has no meaning if we are apart.
Tx:15.95  manifestations of the same idea, and one you do not want, they go  together. The idea is simply this—you believe that it is possible
Tx:15.101  and the Thought that has been given you. When they are brought  together and perceived where they are, the choice between them is
Tx:15.103  you may join with Him in healing, and let us celebrate our release  together by releasing everyone with us. Leave nothing behind, for
Tx:15.106  away holds all the meaning of the universe and holds the universe  together in its meaning. For unless the universe were joined in you,
Tx:15.111  I will your release, because I recognize that we will be released  together.

Tx:16.41  way of truth. We will take the last foolish journey away from truth  together, and then together we go straight to God in joyous answer to
Tx:16.41  take the last foolish journey away from truth together, and then  together we go straight to God in joyous answer to His call for His
Tx:16.42  you are complete forever. There is no veil the love of God in us  together cannot lift. The way to truth is open. Follow it with me.
Tx:16.44  and even natural. No one considers it bizarre to love and hate  together, and even those who believe that hate is sin merely feel
Tx:16.63  you to bring your brothers to the bridge with you and to be released  together there.
Tx:16.64  on the distorted frame of reference which seemed to hold your world  together. This frame of reference is built around the special
Tx:17.42  of relationship and know it to be true. Let us ascend in peace  together to the Father by giving Him ascendance in our minds. We will
Tx:17.51  this is loss. In your newness, remember that you have started again  together. And take each other's hand to walk together along a road
Tx:17.51  you have started again together. And take each other's hand to walk  together along a road far more familiar than you now believe. Is it
Tx:17.52  Condemn salvation not, for it has come to you. And welcome it  together, for it has come to join you together in a relationship in
Tx:17.52  come to you. And welcome it together, for it has come to join you  together in a relationship in which all the Sonship is together
Tx:17.52  to join you together in a relationship in which all the Sonship is  together blessed.
Tx:17.53 You undertook  together to invite the Holy Spirit into your relationship. He could
Tx:17.55 You stand  together in the holy presence of truth itself. Here is the goal,
Tx:17.55  together in the holy presence of truth itself. Here is the goal,  together with you. Think you not the goal itself will gladly arrange
Tx:17.59  it has already happened. Then you look back at it and try to piece  together what it must have meant. And you will be wrong. Not only is
Tx:18.9  about each other can abide. Here you are joined in God, as much  together as you are with Him. The original error has not entered
Tx:18.10  and as one. And as He loves you, so you are. You are not joined  together in illusions but in the Thought so holy and so perfect that
Tx:18.10  illusions cannot remain to darken the holy place in which you stand  together. God is with you, my brothers. Let us join in Him in peace
Tx:18.11  relationship with truth. God and His whole creation have entered it  together. How lovely and how holy is your relationship, with the
Tx:18.11  is as it was created.] The universe within you stands with you,  together. And Heaven looks with love on what is joined in it, along
Tx:18.12  of peace in those who heard? Return with me to Heaven, walking  together out of this world and through another to the loveliness and
Tx:18.13 You have been called  together to the most holy function that this world contains. It is
Tx:18.13  glowing purpose in which you join. The holy light that brought you  together must extend, as you accepted it.
Tx:18.28 Each instant that we spend  together will teach you that this goal is possible and will
Tx:18.30  experience is really past. Time has been readjusted to help us do  together what your separate pasts would hinder. You have gone past
Tx:18.31  of God Himself, can you remain in darkness? You are coming home  together after a long and meaningless journey which you undertook
Tx:18.58  the body, but not outside yourselves, to reach your shared Identity  together. Could this be outside you? Where God is not? Is He a body,
Tx:18.67  A holy relationship is a means of saving time. One instant spent  together restores the universe to both of you. You are prepared. Now
Tx:18.68  do not need this time. Time has been saved for you because you are  together. This is the special means this course is using to save you
Tx:18.82  no more know God alone than He knows you without your brother. But  together you could no more be unaware of love than love could know
Tx:19.6 Both cannot be  together nor perceived in the same place. To dedicate yourself to
Tx:19.7  sickness, nor established remedy where sickness cannot be. They are  together, and when they are seen together, all attempts to keep both
Tx:19.7  where sickness cannot be. They are together, and when they are seen  together, all attempts to keep both truth and illusion in the mind,
Tx:19.13  where grace was laid for both of you. And be you healed by grace  together, that you may heal through faith.
Tx:19.14  unto Himself and both of you. Lay faithlessness aside and come to it  together. There will you see the miracle of your relationship as it
Tx:19.14  do, returning the glad tidings that it was done to you who stand  together before the altar from which they were sent forth.
Tx:19.55  an honored guest. And in a holy instant, grace is said by everyone  together as they join in gentleness before the table of communion.
Tx:19.64  relationship, I am there already. We will surmount all obstacles  together, for we stand within the gates and not outside. How easily
Tx:19.64  the tired world! Can it be difficult for us to walk past barriers  together when you have joined the limitless? The end of guilt is in
Tx:19.66  within the home you offered to my Father and to me. And we are there  together in the quiet communion in which the Father and the Son are
Tx:19.97 Forget not that you came this far  together. And it was surely not the ego that led you here. No
Tx:19.98  you here a while and tremble not. You will be ready. Let us join  together in a holy instant, here in this place where the purpose
Tx:19.98  has led you. And let us join in faith that He Who brought us here  together will offer you the innocence you need and that you will
Tx:19.101  of each other, for you will share in madness or in Heaven  together. And you will raise your eyes in faith together or not at
Tx:19.101  madness or in Heaven together. And you will raise your eyes in faith  together or not at all.
Tx:19.106  freedom that I gave the Holy Spirit for both of you. And be you free  together, as you offer to the Holy Spirit this same gift. And giving
Tx:19.106  receive it of Him in return for what you gave. He leadeth you and me  together that we might meet here in this holy place and make the same
Tx:19.107  here in the garden of seeming agony and death. So will we prepare  together the way unto the resurrection of God's Son and let him rise
Tx:19.108  Together we will disappear into the Presence beyond the veil, not to
Tx:19.110  meaning lies in them. Beyond this they are meaningless. You stand  together, still without conviction they have a purpose. Yet it is
Tx:20.12  refrain the Son of God was never crucified. Let us lift up our eyes  together, not in fear, but faith. And there will be no fear in us,
Tx:20.12  share in quietness, and where we live in gentleness and peace as one  together.
Tx:20.15  savior from his pain. And gladly will you walk the way of innocence  together, singing as you behold the open door of Heaven, and
Tx:20.38  Each speaks in time of what is far beyond it. Two voices raised  together call to the hearts of everyone and let them beat as one. And
Tx:20.38  which has the power to hold the unity of the Son of God  together. You give to one another for everyone, and in your gift is
Tx:20.52  the illusion of reality. And so it seemed to have a home that held  together for a little while in time and vanished. For what could
Tx:20.54  way to true relationships held gently open, through which you walk  together, leaving the body thankfully behind and resting in the
Tx:21.28  truth is you were both created by a loving Father Who created you  together and as one. See what “proves” otherwise, and you deny your
Tx:21.54  true effect of this same Source as is the answer, must therefore be  together and the same.
Tx:21.72  know not their enemy, except they hate him. In hatred they have come  together but have not joined each other. For had they done so, hatred
Tx:22.1  yourselves, so long enslaved. Rejoice whom God hath joined have come  together and need no longer look on sin apart. No two can look on sin
Tx:22.1  and need no longer look on sin apart. No two can look on sin  together, for they could never see it in the same place and time. Sin
Tx:22.2  where each one thinks the other has what he has not. They come  together, each to complete himself and rob the other. They stay until
Tx:22.15  What is as like Him as a holy relationship? And what draws you  together draws Him to you. Here are His sweetness and His gentle
Tx:22.40  hangs between you and the face of Christ. Let it be lifted! Raise it  together, for it is but a veil that stands between you. Either alone
Tx:22.41  will each of you look to the other! How happy you will be to be  together after such a long and lonely journey where you walked alone.
Tx:22.43  which seemed to rise and block their way before. This veil you lift  together opens the way to truth to more than you. Those who would let
Tx:22.44  him alone. Such is the function of a holy relationship—to receive  together and give as you received. Standing before the veil, it still
Tx:22.47  and the material of evil dreams are nothing. In truth you stand  together with nothing in between. God holds your hands, and what can
Tx:22.48  this tiny mouse or everything that God created? You are not joined  together by this mouse but by the Will of God. And can a mouse betray
Tx:22.49  is irresistible in truth. What, then, must happen when they come  together? Can the illusion of immovability be long defended from what
Tx:23.52  where He would have you, and no illusion can attack the peace of God  together with His Son.
Tx:24.41  and wove a picture out of nothing. For the parts do not belong  together, and the whole contributes nothing to the parts to give them
Tx:25.10  itself. And so What is within this mind and does unite all things  together must be its Teacher. Yet must It use the language which this
Tx:25.22  purpose, since He gave the same to both of you. His Will is brought  together as you join in will that you be made complete by offering
Tx:25.40  him. Alone does neither have it. So must it remain useless to both.  Together, it will give to each an equal strength to save the other
Tx:26.19  from time. Here is the meeting-place where thoughts are brought  together—where conflicting values meet and all illusions are laid
Tx:26.20  because knowledge makes no attack upon perception. They are brought  together, and only one continues past the gate where Oneness is.
Tx:26.61 The miracle is possible when cause and consequence are brought  together, not kept separate. The healing of effect without the cause
Tx:27.14  two, I pardon you my hurt.” His pardon and your hurt cannot exist  together. One denies the other and must make it false.
Tx:27.52  have a problem which is different from the rest. Yet they are solved  together. And their common answer shows the questions could not have
Tx:27.82  a serious idea and possible of both accomplishment and real effects.  Together, we can laugh them both away and understand that time cannot
Tx:27.85  He bids you bring each terrible effect to Him that you may look  together on its foolish cause and laugh with Him a while. You judge
Tx:28.22  he dreams he gave his brother. And it is but this the dream has put  together and has offered him to show him that his wishes have been
Tx:28.51  they but report. It is not they that hear and see, but you, who put  together every jagged piece, each senseless scrap and shred of
Tx:28.52  bits of glass, a piece of wood, a thread or two perhaps, all put  together to attest its truth. Reality does not depend on this. There
Tx:30.1  step. Each one will help a little every time it is attempted. And  together will these steps lead you from dreams of judgment to
Tx:30.64  for you have enabled Him to rise from chains and go with you  together to His Father's house.
Tx:31.23  walk with him, so neither leads nor follows. Thus it is a way you go  together, not alone. And in this choice is learning's outcome
Tx:31.25  Together is your joint inheritance remembered and accepted by you
W1:26.2  thoughts are. Attack thoughts and invulnerability cannot be accepted  together. They contradict each other.

W1:85.2  me in darkness and hide the light. Grievances and light cannot go  together, but light and vision must be joined for me to see. To see,
W1:90.5  That is because I do not yet realize that God has placed the answer  together with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by time.
W1:91.1 It is important to remember that miracles and vision necessarily go  together. This needs repeating and frequent repeating. It is a

Tx:5.9 This is the invitation to the Holy Spirit. I  told you that I could reach up and bring the Holy Spirit down to you,

Tx:5.93  asked to work out the plan of salvation yourselves because, as I  told you before, the remedy is not of your making. God Himself gave
Tx:5.93  Will. I have made His plan perfectly explicit to you and have also  told you of your part in His plan and how urgent it is that you
Tx:5.94 I have already  told you that whenever you are not wholly joyous it is because you

Tx:7.82  said that without projection there can be no anger, but it is also  true that without projection there can be no love. Projection is a

Tx:7.97  what you do not know. That is true in a sense, but no more  true than your failure to acknowledge the whole result of the ego's

Tx:8.68 Do not allow yourselves to suffer from the results of what is not  true. Free your minds from the belief that this is possible. In its
Tx:8.69  what it believes a thing is for. This is because it is incapable of  true generalizations and equates what it sees with the function it
Tx:8.70  define the part, but the part does not define the whole. This is as  true of knowledge as it is of perception. The reason to know in part
Tx:8.75 It is still  true that the body has no function of itself, because it is not an

Tx:8.75  premises on which the ego's interpretation of the body rests are  true. Specifically, these are that the body is for attack and that
Tx:8.76  considering them. The function of truth is to collect data which are  true. There is no point in trying to make sense out of meaningless

Tx:8.109 The Bible emphasizes that all prayers are answered, and this must be  true if no effort is wasted. The very fact that one has asked the

Tx:8.110  the Holy Spirit truly and doubt your brother? Believe his words are  true because of the truth which is in him. You will unite with the

Tx:8.111  which does know. This light can shine into yours, making his words  true and making you able to hear them. His words are the Holy
Tx:9.3  because the Holy Spirit does not perceive his errors. This must be  true if there is no communication at all between the ego and the Holy

Tx:9.53  want the ego. Your grandeur is God's answer to the ego because it is  true. Littleness and grandeur cannot co-exist, nor is it possible for
Tx:9.54  because grandeur is truth. Truth does not vacillate; it is always  true. When grandeur slips away from you, you have replaced it with
Tx:9.54  the belief in grandiosity. Yet it must be insane because it is not  true. Your grandeur will never deceive you, but your illusions always
Tx:9.55  will not produce miracles and therefore will deprive you of your  true witnesses to your reality. Truth is not obscure nor hidden, but
Tx:9.58  It is an exalted answer because of its Source, but the Source is  true and so is Its answer. Listen and do not question what you hear,
Tx:9.80  I will heal you merely because I have only one message, and it is  true. Your faith in it will make you whole when you have faith in me.
Tx:9.96  you are not of yourselves. If you were, what you have made would be  true, and you could never escape.
Tx:9.106  choice, which is not of God, will remain with you. While this is not  true in eternity, it is true in time, so that while time lasts in
Tx:9.106  God, will remain with you. While this is not true in eternity, it is  true in time, so that while time lasts in your minds, there will be
Tx:10.1  evidence on both sides fairly, you will realize that this must be  true. Neither God nor the ego proposes a partial thought system. Each
Tx:10.4  you. You will not take this journey alone. I will lead you to your  true Father, Who hath need of you as I have. Will you not answer the
Tx:10.24  not will to be alone Himself? And if your will is His, it cannot be  true of you because it is not true of Him. Oh, my children, if you
Tx:10.24  And if your will is His, it cannot be true of you because it is not  true of Him. Oh, my children, if you knew what God wills for you,
Tx:10.24  would be complete! And what He wills has happened, for it was always  true.
Tx:10.43  without fear, for it cannot have any effects if its source is not  true. Fear becomes more obviously inappropriate if one recognizes the
Tx:10.44  that their source is not natural, being out of accord with your  true nature. We once said that to will contrary to God is wishful
Tx:10.50  distinguish the possible from the impossible and the false from the  true. According to the ego's teaching, its goal can be accomplished,
Tx:10.54  obvious. If consistent truth is meaningless, inconsistency must be  true if truth has meaning. Holding error clearly in mind and
Tx:10.57  that His Son is unworthy, for nothing can prove that a lie is  true. What you see of His Son through the eyes of the ego is a
Tx:10.58  you perceive is a witness to the thought system you want to be  true. Every brother has the power to release you if you will to be
Tx:10.62  been accomplished, and it has been accomplished in you. This is as  true now as it will ever be, for the resurrection is the Will of God,
Tx:10.69  speaks of a new Heaven and a new earth, yet this cannot be literally  true, for the eternal are not re-created. To perceive anew is merely
Tx:10.70  both good and evil, you are accepting both the false and the  true and making no distinction between them.
Tx:10.71  confusing illusion and reality. For perceptions cannot be partly  true. If you believe in truth and illusion, you cannot tell which is
Tx:10.71  true. If you believe in truth and illusion, you cannot tell which is  true. To establish your personal autonomy, you tried to create unlike
Tx:10.71  of being unlike Him. Yet everything in what you have made that is  true is like Him. Only this is the real world, and perceiving only
Tx:10.73  salvation because it is the recognition that reality is only what is  true.
Tx:10.74  which, in the end, teaches nothing more than that only reality is  true is necessary. But do you believe it? When you have perceived the
Tx:10.74  will leave you only an instant to realize that this judgment is  true.
Tx:10.75  you made will be forgotten, the good and the bad, the false and the  true. For as Heaven and earth become one, even the real world will
Tx:10.76  meaning of anything you perceive. Not one thought you hold is wholly  true. The recognition of this is your firm beginning. You are not
Tx:11.1  believe in error, you would have to make it real because it is not  true. But truth is real in its own right, and to believe in truth,
Tx:11.3  it requires no effort at all on your part. Every loving thought is  true. Everything else is an appeal for healing and help. That is what
Tx:11.7  are meaningless in your divided state, His remain consistently  true. He gives them to you because they are for you. Do not attempt
Tx:11.13  interpreted, attests to your eternal knowledge that union is  true.
Tx:11.41  life. For death is not your Father's Will nor yours, and whatever is  true is the Will of the Father. You pay no price for life, for that
Tx:11.69  there. But do not then believe that the witnesses for opposition are  true, for they attest only to your decision about reality, returning
Tx:11.76  death, remember that I did not die. You will realize that this is  true when you look within and see me. Would I have overcome death for
Tx:11.79 When you made what is not  true visible, what is true became invisible. Yet it cannot be
Tx:11.79 When you made what is not true visible, what is  true became invisible. Yet it cannot be invisible in itself, for the
Tx:11.92  him, for although he believes in it, the Holy Spirit knows it is not  true. The Holy Spirit stands at the end of time, where you must be
Tx:11.99  been. As He looks upon the guiltless Son of God, he knows this is  true. And being true for you, you cannot attack yourself, for without
Tx:11.99  upon the guiltless Son of God, he knows this is true. And being  true for you, you cannot attack yourself, for without guilt, attack
Tx:12.39  His sane answer tells you that what you have offered yourself is not  true, but His offering to you has never changed. You who know not
Tx:12.50  upon the present, for it holds the only things that are forever  true. All healing lies within it because its continuity is real. It
Tx:12.60  of one is possible because you have denied the other. Both are not  true, yet either one will seem as real to you as the amount to which
Tx:12.63  you see? All vision starts with the perceiver who judges what is  true and what is false. And what he judges false he does not see. You
Tx:12.66  way that leads you to remembrance of this one thing that is wholly  true and wholly yours. For all else you have lent yourself in time,
Tx:12.67  of nightmares for the happy dreams of love. In these lie your  true perceptions, for the Holy Spirit corrects the world of dreams,
Tx:13.5  is one forever. Every miracle you offer to the Son of God is but the  true perception of one aspect of the whole. Though every aspect is
Tx:13.14  is the means by which the Holy Spirit can separate the false and the  true, which you have accepted into your minds without distinction.
Tx:13.14  you cannot value one without the other, and guilt has become as  true for you as innocence. You do not believe the Son of God is
Tx:13.16  of Atonement for all your brothers. For so you learn that it is  true for you. Remember always that it is impossible to condemn the
Tx:13.20  illusion that the source, from which attention is diverted, must be  true and must be fearful, or you would not have displaced the guilt
Tx:13.28  you do not remember how much you love Him. Yet it is forever  true. In shining peace within you is the perfect purity in which you
Tx:13.30  there is no love apart from His. Until you recognize that this is  true, you will have no idea what love is like. No one who condemns a
Tx:13.38  the difference for you, allowing Him to demonstrate which must be  true. He has perfect faith in your final judgment because He knows
Tx:13.45  for you everything you have learned that teaches you what is not  true must be reconciled with truth. This is the reconciliation which
Tx:13.46  you and by you in return. For how can you remember what was never  true or not remember what has always been? It is this reconciliation
Tx:13.52  leads you not goes nowhere. Anything you deny which He knows to be  true, you have denied yourself, and He must therefore teach you not
Tx:13.55  can be precious and that you can learn how to make the untrue  true.
Tx:13.56  His lesson in simplicity with the fundamental teaching that truth is  true. This is the hardest lesson you will ever learn, and in the end
Tx:13.56  are you less inclined to listen to. The contrast between what is  true and what is not is perfectly apparent, yet you do not see it.
Tx:13.57  this the Holy Spirit sees and teaches simply that all this is not  true. To these unhappy learners who would teach themselves nothing
Tx:13.58 The truth is  true. Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and everything
Tx:13.59  you, the Holy Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He knows it to be  true. He brings the light of truth into the darkness and lets it
Tx:13.60 When you teach anyone that truth is  true, you learn it with him. And so you learn that what seemed
Tx:13.61  lessons that come quickly on the firm foundation that truth is  true. For what is builded there is true and built on truth. The
Tx:13.61  the firm foundation that truth is true. For what is builded there is  true and built on truth. The universe of learning will open up before
Tx:13.62  from the past and open up the way to freedom for you. For truth is  true. What else could ever be or ever was? This simple lesson holds
Tx:13.63  in Him with everything. Can he sing the dirge of sorrow when this is  true?
Tx:13.68  they are opposites which cannot be reconciled and cannot both be  true. You are guilty or guiltless, bound or free, happy or unhappy.
Tx:13.73  you because of the concept of decision which led to it. It is not  true that you can make decisions by yourself or for yourself alone.
Tx:13.76  wholly pure. Do not decide against it, for being of Him, it must be  true. Peace abides in every mind that quietly accepts the plan which
Tx:14.3  it and thus denied Heaven to itself. Atonement teaches you the  true condition of the Son of God. It does not teach you what you are
Tx:14.6  it and learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim awareness that his  true function remains unfulfilled in him. The burden of guilt is
Tx:14.19 Death yields to life simply because destruction is not  true. The light of guiltlessness shines guilt away because, when they
Tx:14.22  out all that has meaning, dropping off the rest and offering your  true communication to those who would communicate as truly with you.
Tx:14.26  the unknowing that they know. From their point of view, it is not  true. Yet it is true because God knows it. These are clearly opposite
Tx:14.26  that they know. From their point of view, it is not true. Yet it is  true because God knows it. These are clearly opposite viewpoints of
Tx:14.39  in light is not attacked. It merely vanishes because it is not  true. Different realities are meaningless, for reality must be one.
Tx:14.47  you seem to live in is a world of limits. In this world, it is not  true that anything without order of difficulty can occur. The
Tx:14.49  wiser or more productive and valuable than others. And this is  true about the thoughts which cross the mind of those who think they
Tx:14.54  defend its lack of content. The fact of union tells them it is not  true.
Tx:14.57 The miracle is the recognition that this is  true. Where there is love, your brother must give it to you because
Tx:14.58  you is but your learning of the false and your attempts to undo the  true.
Tx:14.63  test, as sure as God, by which to recognize if what you learned is  true. If you are wholly free of fear of any kind, and if all those
Tx:14.63  that you have learned God's lesson and not yours. Unless all this is  true, there are dark lessons in your minds which hurt and hinder you
Tx:15.24  at first, but you will learn to love it when you realize that it is  true and constitutes a tribute to your power. You who have sought and
Tx:16.5  True empathy is of Him Who knows what it is. You will learn His
Tx:16.14  you, and so you are unwilling to believe that what has happened is  true. But can you really believe that all that has happened, even
Tx:16.16  His witnesses, who bring you the glad tidings He has come. It is  true, just as you fear, that to acknowledge Him is to deny all that
Tx:16.16  Him is to deny all that you think you know. But it was never  true. What gain is there to you in clinging to it and denying the
Tx:16.26  to strengthen your faith in what you taught. For what you taught is  true. Alone you stand outside your teaching and apart from it. But
Tx:16.35  you have built against it. It is not necessary to seek for what is  true, but it is necessary to seek for what is false. Every illusion
Tx:16.36 Recognize this, for it is  true, and truth must be recognized if it is to be distinguished from
Tx:16.45  and everything here takes a direction exactly opposite of what is  true. In Heaven, where the meaning of love is known, love is the same
Tx:16.56  the simple fact that illusions are not fearful because they are not  true. They but seem to be fearful to the extent to which you fail to
Tx:16.56  you will fail to do this to the extent to which you want them to be  true. And to the same extent you are denying truth, and so are making
Tx:16.78  the holy instant, this is done for you in time to bring to you the  true condition of Heaven.
Tx:16.81 Forgive us our illusions, Father, and help us to accept our  true relationship with You in which there are no illusions and where
Tx:17.5  you. There is no order in reality because everything there is  true.
Tx:17.23  relationship the Holy Spirit sees because He knows that only this is  true. You have made the relationship unreal and therefore unholy by
Tx:17.25  never choose except between God and the ego. Thought systems are but  true or false, and all their attributes come simply from what they
Tx:17.25  come simply from what they are. Only the Thoughts of God are  true. And all that follows from them comes from what they are and is
Tx:17.25  And all that follows from them comes from what they are and is as  true as is the holy Source from which they came.
Tx:17.42  will experience again the meaning of relationship and know it to be  true. Let us ascend in peace together to the Father by giving Him
Tx:17.51  eternity? For you have chosen but the goal of God from which your  true intent was never absent.
Tx:17.60  closer to the Holy Spirit's sorting out of truth and falsity. The  true becomes what can be used to meet the goal. The false becomes the
Tx:17.77  believing that the “something else” produced it. This was never  true. For what the “something else” produced was sorrow and
Tx:18.15  conflicting wishes, and therefore they have no concern with what is  true. They are the best example you could have of how perception can
Tx:18.19  It is the means by which you try to make your sleeping dreams come  true. From this you do not awaken. The special relationship] is your
Tx:18.44 Happy dreams come  true, not because they are dreams, but only because they are happy.
Tx:18.86  it. And these messages bear witness to this world, pronouncing it as  true. For you sent forth these messengers to bring this back to you.
Tx:19.8 Truth and illusion have no connection. This will remain forever  true, however much you seek to connect them. But illusions are always
Tx:19.21  “holy” concept in the ego's system—lovely and powerful, wholly  true, and necessarily protected with every defense at its disposal.
Tx:19.26  respect and honoring its enormity. [What must be punished must be  true. And what is true must be eternal and will be repeated
Tx:19.26  its enormity. [What must be punished must be true. And what is  true must be eternal and will be repeated endlessly.] For what you
Tx:19.30  your perception is unchangeable and that the mind must accept as  true what it is told through it. If it does not obey, the mind is
Tx:19.75 Hear not its madness, and believe not the impossible is  true. Forget not that the ego has dedicated the body to the goal of
Tx:19.83  purpose. As you look upon it, so will it seem to be. Death, were it  true, would be the final and complete disruption of communication
Tx:20.16  impaired condition are adjustments necessary because they are not  true. Who need adjust to truth, which calls on only what he is, to
Tx:20.24  and you have given it power to adjust the world to make its answer  true. You asked this puff of madness for the meaning of your unholy
Tx:20.28  everything to God, Who has already given and received all that is  true. The untrue He has neither received nor given.
Tx:20.54 The holy relationship reflects the  true relationship the Son of God has with his Father in reality. The
Tx:20.54  in gladness for the holy one of safe return. Here is the way to  true relationships held gently open, through which you walk together,
Tx:20.57  remains with you. Yet what is that to those who have been given one  true relationship beyond the body? Can they be long held back from
Tx:20.61  result of letting the effects of sin be lifted so what was always  true is recognized. To see a sinless body is impossible, for holiness
Tx:20.75  adjusts to sin and seems to witness to its reality. It still is  true that nothing is without. Yet upon nothing are all projections
Tx:21.13  mind by which the crucifixion is changed to resurrection. And being  true, it is so simple that it cannot fail to be completely
Tx:21.19  to you, you listened and convinced yourself that what it saw was  true. You did this to yourself. See only this, and you will also see
Tx:21.54  you but there, where this same answer is? Your Identity, as much a  true effect of this same Source as is the answer, must therefore be
Tx:22.7  no reason not to listen nor to suspect that what it tells you is not  true. Reason would tell you it cannot be true because you do not
Tx:22.7  what it tells you is not true. Reason would tell you it cannot be  true because you do not understand it. God has no secrets. He does
Tx:22.20  way, for reason sees the source of an idea as what will make it  true or false. This must be so if the idea is like its source.
Tx:22.22  course will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is wholly  true or wholly false and cannot be but partially believed. And you
Tx:22.24  mind, be different from it, and in opposition to it. If this were  true, thoughts would not be the mind's extensions but its enemies.
Tx:22.25  you made has been your own. Are you not glad to learn it is not  true? Is it not welcome news to hear not one of the illusions that
Tx:22.27  be separate. Its will has no exceptions, and what it wills is  true. Every illusion brought to its forgiveness is gently overlooked
Tx:22.33  the wall that stands between you and the truth, is wholly  true. Yet how can sight which stops at nothingness as if it were a
Tx:22.35  and so they can deceive. You can change form because it is not  true. It could not be reality, because it can be changed. Reason will
Tx:22.45  tell you that they contradict reality. They go against what must be  true. The opposition comes from them and not reality. Reality opposes
Tx:22.63  never both. The only question to be answered to decide which must be  true is whether you are different. From the position of what you
Tx:22.63  experiences more in line with truth to teach you what is natural and  true.
Tx:22.65  truth decide if you be different or the same and teach you which is  true.
Tx:23.11 Could nature possibly establish this and make it  true? Nor is it up to you to say what shall be part of you and what
Tx:23.12  from each other in the belief the one which conquers will be  true. There is no conflict between them and the truth. Nor are they
Tx:23.12  and the truth. Nor are they different from each other. Both are not  true. And so it matters not what form they take. What made them is
Tx:23.15  His home. And you who are beloved of Him are no illusions, being as  true and holy as Himself.
Tx:23.16  place where love abides, protecting you from everything that is not  true. You dwell in peace as limitless as its Creator, and everything
Tx:23.17  are different. And they do battle only to establish which form is  true.
Tx:23.20  is a hierarchy of illusions; some are more valuable and therefore  true. Each one establishes this for himself and makes it true by his
Tx:23.20  therefore true. Each one establishes this for himself and makes it  true by his attack on what another values. And this is justified
Tx:23.27  the fourth law of chaos, which, if the others are accepted, must be  true. This seeming law is the belief you have what you have taken. By
Tx:23.32  this is what it is. What protects madness is the belief that it is  true. It is the function of insanity to take the place of truth. It
Tx:23.32  a reversal, completely turned around, with madness sanity, illusions  true, attack a kindness, hatred love and murder benediction, is the
Tx:23.34  form and disregard of content. No one who thinks that one of them is  true sees what it says. Some forms it takes seem to have meaning, and
Tx:23.36 You would maintain and think it  true that you do not believe these senseless laws nor act upon them.
Tx:23.37  barrier to Heaven. Illusions are but forms. Their content is never  true.
Tx:23.38  laws completely, offering a certain witness that these laws are  true. The seeming gentler forms of the attack are no less certain in
Tx:23.41 Is it not  true you do not recognize some of the forms attack can take? If it is
Tx:23.41  you do not recognize some of the forms attack can take? If it is  true attack in any form will hurt you and will do so just as much as
Tx:23.47  attack, and no illusion in any form stalks Heaven. Heaven is wholly  true. No difference enters, and what is all the same cannot conflict.
Tx:23.48  different? Murder and love are incompatible. Yet if they both are  true, then must they be the same and indistinguishable from one
Tx:24.40  Specialness, too, takes joy in what it sees, although it is not  true. Yet what you seek for is a source of joy as you conceive it.
Tx:24.40  you seek for is a source of joy as you conceive it. What you wish is  true for you. Nor is it possible that you can wish for something and
Tx:24.64  given you to see his holiness because it is the truth. And what is  true in him must be as true in you.
Tx:24.64  holiness because it is the truth. And what is true in him must be as  true in you.
Tx:24.66  Only the purpose that you see in it has meaning, and if that is  true, its safety rests secure. If not, it has no purpose and is means
Tx:24.67  means and end are one, and one with Him. This is the state of  true creation, found not within time, but in eternity. To no one here
Tx:24.68  end unite as one, nor does this one have any end at all. All this is  true, and yet it has no meaning to anyone who still retains one
Tx:24.69  It is the outward picture of a wish—an image that you wanted to be  true.
Tx:24.70  that you want to be yourself. It is the means to make your wish come  true. It gives the eyes with which you look on it, the hands that
Tx:25.14 Is it not also  true that you have found some hope apart from this—some glimmering,
Tx:25.37  unless the other were the truth, for each attests the other must be  true.
Tx:25.52  at all within this world. And nothing that the world believes as  true has any meaning in His Mind at all. What makes no sense and has
Tx:25.52  cannot be the truth. If one belief so deeply valued here were  true, then every Thought God ever had is an illusion. And if but one
Tx:25.52  God ever had is an illusion. And if but one Thought of His is  true, then all beliefs the world gives any meaning to are false and
Tx:25.53  thinks, or is maintained by any form of reason believes this to be  true. Sin is not real because the Father and the Son are not insane.
Tx:25.60  it seems that one must gain because another lost. If this were  true, then God is mad indeed! But what is this belief except a form
Tx:25.61  beliefs can be corrected here. And sin must be impossible if this is  true. This is the rock on which salvation rests, the vantage point
Tx:25.67  of punishment that they lay it aside unaided and perceive it is not  true? It is extremely hard for those who still believe sin meaningful
Tx:25.71  to save? What can Love ask of you who think that all of this is  true? Could He, in justice and in love believe in your confusion you
Tx:25.75  vengeance. You need not perceive in every circumstance that this is  true. Nor need you look to your experience within the world, which is
Tx:25.80  solves will always be one in which no one loses. And this must be  true because He asks no sacrifice of anyone. An answer which demands
Tx:26.11  loss is possible and could result in gain for anyone. If this were  true, then God would be unfair, sin would be possible, attack be
Tx:26.13  an error. It does injustice to the Son of God and therefore is not  true. The Holy Spirit does not evaluate injustices as great or small
Tx:26.20  a limited reality, a partial truth, a segment of the universe made  true. This is because knowledge makes no attack upon perception. They
Tx:26.24  as such. Where all reality has been withdrawn from what was never  true, can it be hard to give it up and choose what must be true?
Tx:26.24  was never true, can it be hard to give it up and choose what must be  true?
Tx:26.36  in another time. In the extreme, he can delude himself that this is  true and pass from mere imagining into belief and into madness, quite
Tx:26.41  of eternity. They come from what is past and gone and hinder not the  true existence of the here and now. The real world is the second part
Tx:26.49 Perception's laws are opposite to truth, and what is  true of knowledge is not true of anything that is apart from it. Yet
Tx:26.49  laws are opposite to truth, and what is true of knowledge is not  true of anything that is apart from it. Yet has God given answer to
Tx:26.50  reversals of the laws of truth. The laws of truth forever will be  true and cannot be reversed, yet can be seen as upside-down. And this
Tx:26.51  help. No illusion has any truth in it. Yet it appears some are more  true than others, although this clearly makes no sense at all. All
Tx:26.51  and are false. Your preference gives them no reality. Not one is  true in any way, and all must yield with equal ease to what God gave
Tx:26.52  can be expected but can not establish that the picture must be  true.
Tx:26.53  meaning where no meaning is. And truth needs no defense to make it  true. Illusions have no witnesses and no effects. Who looks on them
Tx:26.56 Salvation, perfect and complete, asks but a little wish that what is  true be true; a little willingness to overlook what is not there; a
Tx:26.56  perfect and complete, asks but a little wish that what is true be  true; a little willingness to overlook what is not there; a little
Tx:26.56  and complete. What is forgiveness but a willingness that truth be  true? What can remain unhealed and broken from a Unity Which holds
Tx:26.60  are one, not separate. God wills you learn what always has been  true—that He created you as part of Him, and this must still be
Tx:26.60  true—that He created you as part of Him, and this must still be  true because ideas leave not their source. Such is creation's law—
Tx:26.60  conceives but adds to its abundance, never takes away. This is as  true of what is idly wished as what is truly willed, because the mind
Tx:26.60  to believe ideas can leave their source is to invite illusions to be  true, without success. For never will success be possible in trying
Tx:26.67  can make no change at all. But it can make what always has been  true be recognized by those who know it not. And by this little gift
Tx:27.6  is his comfort and his health because it proves illusions are not  true.
Tx:27.9  sin will end alike within the termination of the grave. If this were  true, there would be reason to remain content to seek for passing
Tx:27.15  forgive their brothers and themselves as well. For no one in whom  true forgiveness reigns can suffer. He holds not the proof of sin
Tx:27.32  beyond the truth, for what can stand for more than everything? Yet  true undoing must be kind. And so the first replacement for your
Tx:27.39  but one question. It is this: “Of these illusions, which of them are  true? Which ones establish peace and offer joy? And which can bring
Tx:27.39  prefer? That is the one which you should choose. The others are not  true. What can the body get that you would want the most of all? It
Tx:27.56  or that, but nothing more, you choose. You do not make a witness  true because you called him by truth's name. The truth is found in
Tx:27.59  forgives because it stands for what is past forgiveness and is  true. How foolish and insane it is to think a miracle is bound by
Tx:27.80  and events which it contrives. That this is all the body does is  true, for it is but a figure in a dream. But who reacts to figures in
Tx:27.86  unto yourself. No matter what the form of the attack, this still is  true. Whoever takes the role of enemy and of attacker, still is this
Tx:27.86  to be the cause of any pain and suffering you feel, this is still  true. For you would not react at all to figures in a dream you knew
Tx:27.90  is impossible is that you be unlike each other; that they both be  true. This is the only secret yet to learn. And it will be no secret
Tx:28.22 The miracle establishes you dream a dream and that its content is not  true. This is a crucial step in dealing with illusions. No one is
Tx:28.64  be apart. Yet all it means is that you tried to keep a promise to be  true to faithlessness. Yet faithlessness is sickness. It is like the
Tx:29.25  can be but some illusions? They are dreams because they are not  true. Their equal lack of truth becomes the basis for the miracle,
Tx:30.49  made to fill the gap you think arose between yourself and what is  true. And you attack them for the things you think they represent.
Tx:30.76 It must be  true the miracle can heal all forms of sickness, or it cannot heal.
Tx:30.76  cannot be to judge which forms are real and which appearances are  true. If one appearance must remain apart from healing, one illusion
Tx:30.82  meaning. For it cannot be that meaning changes constantly and yet is  true. The Holy Spirit looks upon the world as with one purpose,
Tx:31.1 How simple is salvation! All it says is what was never  true is not true now and never will be. The impossible has not
Tx:31.1 How simple is salvation! All it says is what was never true is not  true now and never will be. The impossible has not occurred and can
Tx:31.1  that is all. Can this be hard to learn by anyone who wants it to be  true? Only unwillingness to learn it could make such an easy lesson
Tx:31.1  lesson difficult. How hard is it to see that what is false cannot be  true, and what is true cannot be false? You can no longer say that
Tx:31.1  How hard is it to see that what is false cannot be true, and what is  true cannot be false? You can no longer say that you perceive no
Tx:31.1  You can no longer say that you perceive no differences in false and  true. You have been told exactly how to tell one from the other and
Tx:31.5  before the Voice of truth and teach you that Its lessons are not  true, too hard to learn, too difficult to see, and too opposed to
Tx:31.5  to learn, too difficult to see, and too opposed to what is really  true. Yet you will learn them, for their learning is the only purpose
Tx:31.14  be made each time you think you must decide on anything. Neither is  true. Nor are they different. Yet must we see them both before you
Tx:31.22  come away without the thoughts you did not want and that were never  true.
Tx:31.35  greatest lesson. All must reach this point and go beyond it. It is  true indeed there is no choice at all within the world. But this is

Tx:31.53  kept in darkness is that in the light the one who would not think it  true is you. And what would happen to the world you know if all its
Tx:31.62  decide in this determines all you see and think is real and hold as  true. On this one choice does all your world depend, for here have
Tx:31.65  you made. Your will be done! In Heaven as on earth, this is forever  true. It matters not where you believe you are nor what you think the

W1:5.1  of forms, all of which will be perceived as different. This is not  true. However, until you learn that form does not matter, each form
W1:7.10 Look about you. This is equally  true of whatever you look at. Acknowledge this by applying the idea
W1:8.2 The only wholly  true thought one can hold about the past is that it is not here. To
W1:15.3  eyes at last. They will not persist, because they merely symbolize  true perception, and they are not related to knowledge. These
W1:16.1  Thoughts are not big or little, powerful or weak. They are merely  true or false. Those which are true create their own likeness. Those
W1:16.1  powerful or weak. They are merely true or false. Those which are  true create their own likeness. Those which are false make theirs.
W1:17.8  is because you are unaware as yet of any thoughts which are really  true and therefore really happy.
W1:19.2  resistance to this idea, you will yet understand that it must be  true if salvation is possible at all. And salvation must be possible
W1:27.1  today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea will be wholly  true a little nearer.
W1:27.7  how often will you remember? How much do you want today's idea to be  true? Answer one of these questions, and you have answered the other.
W1:35.5  matter. Illusions have no direction in reality. They are merely not  true.
W1:37.1 This idea contains the first glimmerings of your  true function in the world or why you are here. Your purpose is to
W1:48.1  it is very difficult to recognize for those who want illusions to be  true.
W1:51.6  trying to justify “my” thoughts. I am constantly trying to make them  true. I make all things my “enemies” so that my anger is justified
W1:54.2  eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My thoughts cannot be neither  true nor false. They must be one or the other. What I see shows me
W1:61.3  True humility requires that you accept today's idea because it is
W1:61.3  accept today's idea because it is God's Voice Which tells you it is  true. This is a beginning step in accepting your real function on
W1:62.8  these words, and in your mind is the awareness that they are  true. Should your attention wander, repeat the idea and add:
W1:65.9 On this clean slate, let my  true function be written for me.
W1:66.10  or is made by the ego which you have made to replace Him. Which is  true? Unless God gave your function to you, it must be the gift of
W1:66.13  on the other. Let us try today to realize that only the truth is  true.
W1:72.15  We are asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer will be  true because of Whom you ask. Whenever you feel your confidence wane
W1:74.2  for today are directed towards finding it. The idea itself is wholly  true. Therefore it cannot give rise to illusions. Without illusions,
W1:75.9  He will be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you what  true vision sees. It is His Will, and you have joined with Him. Wait
W1:77.1  Again, how simple is salvation! It is merely a statement of your  true Identity. It is this that we will celebrate today.
W1:78.8  on him a different way and see our savior shining in the light of  true forgiveness given unto us. We ask Him in the holy Name of God
W1:87.2  only on what it shows me. This day I will experience the peace of  true perception.
W1:91.6 Begin the longer practice periods with this statement of  true cause and effect relationships:
W1:93.1  from you as if from a poisonous snake. You think if what is  true about you were revealed to you, you would be struck with horror
W1:93.2  dreams and have bowed down to idols made of dust—all this is  true by what you now believe.
W1:93.6  God. Over and over this must be repeated until it is accepted. It is  true. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Nothing can touch it nor
W1:93.11 You are what God created or what you made. One Self is  true; the other is not there. Try to experience the unity of your One
W1:93.17  to bring the conviction to your mind that the idea for the day is  true indeed.
W1:94.2  True light is strength, and strength is sinlessness. If you remain as
W1:95.12 This is the truth, and nothing else is  true. Today we will affirm this truth again and try to reach the
W1:95.12  reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is  true. Begin the practice periods today with this assurance, given to
W1:95.16  and one goal—to bring awareness of this oneness to all minds, that  true creation may extend the Allness and the Unity of God.
W1:97.11  words He offers you today, and let Him tell your mind that they are  true.
W1:98.11  with all His faith and joy and certainty that what you say is  true. And you will have conviction then of Him Who knows the function
W1:99.5  separation, and on loss. Yet does He know one thing must still be  true—God still is Love, and this is not His Will.
W1:99.16  and fear forever from your mind. If you are tempted to believe them  true, remember that appearances cannot withstand the truth these
W1:101.2  sin is real then happiness must be illusion, for they cannot both be  true. The sinful warrant only death and pain, and it is this they ask
W1:103.6  day, and quiet all your fears with this assurance, kind and wholly  true:
W1:105.5  True giving is creation. It extends the limitless to the unlimited,
W1:105.10  a while, and let His Voice assure you that the words you speak are  true.
W1:106.4  those you ever dreamt or wished for in your dreams. His miracles are  true. They will not fade when dreaming ends. They end the dream
W1:108.1  conflicts and mistaken thoughts into one concept which is wholly  true? Even that one will disappear because the Thought behind it will
W1:108.2  True light which makes true vision possible is not the light the
W1:108.2 True light which makes  true vision possible is not the light the body's eyes behold. It is a
W1:108.6  has special usefulness because it can be tried so easily and seen as  true. And when this special case has proved it always works in every
W1:110.1  would be enough to save you and the world if you believed that it is  true. Its truth would mean that you have made no changes in yourself
W1:122.15 Forgiveness offers everything I want. Today I have accepted this as  true. Today I have received the gifts of God.
W1:123.4  today in honor of the Self Which God has willed to be our  true Identity in Him. Today we smile on everyone we see and walk with
W1:125.9  It, with no illusions interposed between the wholly indivisible and  true.
W1:126.3  one unworthy of the gift because his sins have lowered him beneath a  true equality with you. He has no claim on your forgiveness. It holds
W1:126.5 If this be  true, forgiveness has no grounds on which to rest dependably and
W1:126.7  as worthy of His Son? Salvation is a better gift than this, and  true forgiveness, as the means by which it is attained, must heal the
W1:126.12  I give is given to myself. The Help I need to learn that this is  true is with me now. And I will trust in Him.
W1:128.1  to bitter ashes of despair. No one but must accept this thought as  true, if he would leave this world behind and soar beyond its petty
W1:128.3  worth from you, and add another bar across the door that leads to  true awareness of your Self.
W1:130.11  the limits on your choice. The unreal or the real, the false or  true is what you see, and only what you see. Perception is consistent
W1:131.10  foolish thoughts like these behind today, and turn your mind to  true ideas instead.
W1:131.11  the real world to replace the foolish images that we held dear, with  true ideas arising in the place of thoughts which have no meaning, no
W1:131.14  well which are compatible with such a world and which you think are  true. Then let them go, and sink below them to the holy place where
W1:132.9 Today's idea is  true because the world does not exist. And if it is indeed your own
W1:134.2  when you can accept the fact that pardon is not asked for what is  true. It must be limited to what is false. It is irrelevant to
W1:134.3  in an unfounded effort to deceive yourself by making an illusion  true. This twisted viewpoint but reflects the hold that the idea of
W1:134.4  look on pardon as deception. For it is impossible to think of sin as  true and not believe forgiveness is a lie. Thus is forgiveness really
W1:134.9 Now are you free to follow in the way your  true forgiveness opens up to you. For if one brother has received
W1:134.9  is open to yourself. There is a very simple way to find the door to  true forgiveness and perceive it open wide in welcome. When you feel
W1:134.14 Today we practice  true forgiveness that the time of joining be no more delayed. For we
W1:135.13  until it recognizes this is so. But when it has accepted this as  true, then is it healed and lets the body go.
W1:136.6  fragments of the whole, assembles them without regard to all their  true relationships, and thus constructs illusions of a whole which is
W1:137.4  that lies must be the truth. But healing demonstrates that truth is  true. The separation sickness would impose has never really happened.
W1:138.2  as the relinquishment of hell. It is not really thus. Yet what is  true in God's creation cannot enter here unless it is reflected in
W1:138.4  one is made, you will perceive it was no choice at all, for truth is  true and nothing else is real. There is no opposite to choose
W1:139.6  share its madness in the sad belief that what is universal here is  true? Nothing the world believes is true. It is a place whose purpose
W1:139.6  that what is universal here is true? Nothing the world believes is  true. It is a place whose purpose is to be a home where those who
W1:140.9  others. All of them are false and can be cured because they are not  true.
W1:R4.4  blocks this thought from his awareness. Yet it is forever  true.
W1:R4.5  with some understanding of the many forms in which the lack of  true forgiveness may be carefully concealed. Because they are
W1:152.2 You may believe that this position is extreme and too inclusive to be  true. Yet can truth have exceptions? If you have the gift of
W1:152.3 Salvation is the recognition that the truth is  true and nothing else is true. This you have heard before, but may
W1:152.3  is the recognition that the truth is true and nothing else is  true. This you have heard before, but may not yet accept both parts
W1:152.3  second has no meaning, but without the second is the first no longer  true. Truth cannot have an opposite. This cannot be too often said
W1:152.3  This cannot be too often said and thought about. For if what is not  true is true as well as what is true, then part of truth is false,
W1:152.3  be too often said and thought about. For if what is not true is  true as well as what is true, then part of truth is false, and truth
W1:152.3  thought about. For if what is not true is true as well as what is  true, then part of truth is false, and truth has lost its meaning.
W1:152.3  is false, and truth has lost its meaning. Nothing but the truth is  true, and what is false is false.
W1:152.9 Today we practice  true humility, abandoning the false pretense by which the ego seeks
W1:152.10  guilty and afraid, ashamed of what we are. And we lift our hearts in  true humility instead to Him Who has created us immaculate, like to
W1:152.11  we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false and only truth is  true.
W1:153.8 We will not play such childish games today. For our  true purpose is to save the world, and we would not exchange for
W1:153.14  tale. God's Son can smile at last on learning that it is not  true.
W1:153.18  Voice guiding your footsteps into quiet ways where you will walk in  true defenselessness, for you will know that Heaven goes with you.
W1:154.11  And He needs our will united with His own, that we may be the  true receivers of the gifts He gives.
W1:154.15  recedes as we light up our minds and realize these holy words are  true. They are the message sent to us today from our Creator. Now we
W1:156.1  mentioned in the text—ideas leave not their source. If this be  true, how can you be apart from God? How could you walk the world
W1:156.2  in the thoughts that we present in our curriculum. Truth must be  true throughout if it be true. It cannot contradict itself nor be in
W1:156.2  we present in our curriculum. Truth must be true throughout if it be  true. It cannot contradict itself nor be in parts uncertain and in
W1:158.11  that is not of time. Yet time has still one gift to give in which  true knowledge is reflected in a way so accurate its image shares its
W1:161.5  symbols can stand for the meaningless. Love needs no symbols, being  true. But fear attaches to specifics, being false.
W1:163.6  if we be sane; what contradicts one thought entirely cannot be  true unless its opposite is proven false.
W1:164.5  balance righted and the scales of judgment left to Him Who judges  true. And in His judgment will a world unfold in perfect innocence
W1:166.2  upon the world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy, and  true believes in two creators or in one, himself alone. But never in
W1:169.1  learning, for grace cannot come until the mind prepares itself for  true acceptance. Grace becomes inevitable instantly in those who have
W1:R5.4  of this thought or helps it be more meaningful, more personal and  true, and more descriptive of the holy Self we share and now prepare
W1:R5.14  finished this review, we will have recognized the words we speak are  true.
W1:181.9  is all we want to see, when this is all we seek for in the name of  true perception, are the eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the love
W1:182.1  is not home to you. And somewhere in your mind you know that this is  true. A memory of home keeps haunting you, as if there were a place
W1:184.3  is given meaning and will then be seen as meaningful, a cause of  true effects with consequence inherent in itself.
W1:184.6  is there. It can be seen, as is anticipated. What denies that it is  true is but illusion, for it is the ultimate reality. To question it
W1:184.8 Think not you made the world. Illusions, yes! But what is  true in earth and Heaven is beyond your naming. When you call upon a
W1:184.8  you call upon a brother, it is to his body that you make appeal. His  true Identity is hidden from you by what you believe he really is.
W1:184.9  world can understand, but which you recognize is not the unity where  true communication can be found.
W1:184.10  Identity Which all things share; the one acknowledgment of what is  true. And then step back to darkness, not because you think it real,
W1:186.1  day take all arrogance away from every mind. Here is the thought of  true humility which holds no function as your own but that which has
W1:186.5  to be released from the imprisonment your plan to prove the false is  true has brought to you. Accept the plan you did not make instead.
W1:187.1  what you would give. It is the second phase on which the world and  true perception differ. Having had and given, then the world asserts
W1:189.6 Today we pass illusions as we seek to reach to what is  true in us and feel Its all-embracing tenderness, Its Love Which
W1:189.7  about yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either  true or false or good or bad, of every thought it judges worthy and
W1:189.9  pathway of itself. What has not been denied is surely there if it be  true, and can be surely reached. God knows His Son and knows the way
W1:190.4  illusions which it shields and tries to demonstrate must still be  true.
W1:191.5  escape, you will return and set it free. For he who can accept his  true Identity is truly saved. And his salvation is the gift he gives
W1:193.2  at all. Yet it is He Who gives the means by which perception is made  true and beautiful enough to let the light of Heaven shine upon it.
W1:196.6  escape? The fear of God is real to anyone who thinks this thought is  true. And he will not perceive its foolishness nor even see that it
W1:200.3  for what you have already must succeed. To ask that what is false be  true can only fail. Forgive yourself for vain imaginings, and seek no
W1:200.6  beloved Son from evil dreams that he imagines, yet believes are  true, a worthy purpose? Who could hope for more while there appears
W1:211.1 [191] I am the holy Son of God Himself. In silence and in  true humility, I seek God's glory to behold it in the Son whom He

W2:224.1 My  true Identity is so secure, so lofty, sinless, glorious and great,
W2:228.1  believe in what His knowledge makes impossible? Shall I accept as  true what He proclaims as false? Or shall I take His Word for what I
W2:228.1  Word for what I am since He is my Creator and the One Who knows the  true condition of His Son?
W2:234.1  the peace of God the Father and the Son. This we accept as wholly  true today.
W2:237.2  God today. Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your Son and my  true Self as well. Amen.
W2:240.1  upon a world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is  true. It does not matter what the form in which it may appear. It
W2:WIW.1  cherished. When the thought of separation has been changed to one of  true forgiveness will the world be seen in quite another light, and
W2:WIS.2  as lies. The senses then will seek instead for witnesses to what is  true.
W2:252.2 Father, You know my  true Identity. Reveal it now to me who am Your Son, that I may waken
W2:260.2 Now is our Source remembered, and therein we find our  true Identity at last. Holy indeed are we because our Source can know
W2:271.1  me see, to listen to God's Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is  true in God's creation. In Christ's sight, the world and God's
W2:275.1  attend the Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no more  true today than any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the
W2:281.1  with You can only bless. The thoughts I think with You alone are  true.

Tx:9.70  again what has been made but was rejected. The ability to accept  truth in this world is the perceptual counterpart of creating in the

Tx:9.86  full of illusions because truth and illusions are irreconcilable.  Truth is whole and cannot be known by part of a mind.
Tx:9.90  you attempt to interpose between yourself and your reality affect  truth at all. Peace is yours because God created you. And He created
Tx:10.17  it, the better teacher and learner you become. If you have denied  truth, what better witnesses to its reality could you have than those
Tx:10.39  be very calm in doing this, for we are merely looking honestly for  truth. The “dynamics” of the ego will be our lesson for a while, for
Tx:10.39  We will undo this error quietly together and then look beyond it to  truth.
Tx:10.41  The ego is fearful to you because you believe this. Yet the  truth is very simple:
Tx:10.49  denied yourself. By believing that you have successfully attacked  truth, you are believing that attack has power. Very simply, then,
Tx:10.51  by identifying with Him and fulfilling your function as it exists in  truth. The ego believes that to accomplish its goal is happiness. But
Tx:10.53  Never forget that the ego believes that power, understanding, and  truth lie in separation, and to establish this belief it must attack.
Tx:10.54  of the Holy Spirit's. The ego focuses on error and overlooks  truth. It makes real every mistake it perceives, and with
Tx:10.54  reasoning concludes that, because of the mistake, consistent  truth must be meaningless. The next step, then, is obvious. If
Tx:10.54  must be meaningless. The next step, then, is obvious. If consistent  truth is meaningless, inconsistency must be true if truth has

Tx:10.57  must be. Accept what God does not deny, and He will demonstrate its  truth. The witnesses for God stand in His light and behold what He

Tx:10.72  your Creator, and these beliefs are the world as you perceive it.  Truth is not absent here, but it is obscure. You do not know the
Tx:10.77 No one can withhold  truth except from himself. Yet God will not refuse the answer He gave
Tx:10.77  yours but which you did not make, and do not defend yourself against  truth. You made the problem which God has answered. Ask yourselves,
Tx:10.83 Blessed are you who will ask the  truth of God without fear, for only thus can you learn that His
Tx:10.83  deceive you? The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Believe that the  truth is in me, for I know that it is in you. God's Sons have nothing
Tx:10.83  is in you. God's Sons have nothing which they do not share. Ask for  truth of any Son of God, and you have asked it of me. No one of us
Tx:10.89  truly, they are not afraid. And because of this, they will ask for  truth again when they are frightened. It is not the reality of your
Tx:10.90 Would you not exchange your fears for  truth if the exchange is yours for the asking? For if God is not
Tx:10.90  in you, you can be deceived only in yourself. Yet you can learn the  truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit, who will teach you that, as
Tx:11.1  in error, you would have to make it real because it is not true. But  truth is real in its own right, and to believe in truth, you do not
Tx:11.1  is not true. But truth is real in its own right, and to believe in  truth, you do not have to do anything. Understand that you do not
Tx:11.1  error is to give it power, and having done this, you will overlook  truth.
Tx:11.5  No one with a personal investment is a reliable witness, for  truth to him has become what he wants it to be. If you are unwilling
Tx:11.8  recognize God's answer as you want it to be, and if you want it in  truth, it will be truly yours. Every appeal you answer in the name of
Tx:11.9  the need for escape. The Holy Spirit must still translate it into  truth. If you were left with the fear, having recognized it, you
Tx:11.13  Spirit's interpretation of fear does dispel it, for the awareness of  truth cannot be denied. Thus does the Holy Spirit replace fear with
Tx:11.13  does the Holy Spirit replace fear with love and translate error into  truth. And thus will you learn of Him how to replace your dream of
Tx:11.14 Miracles are merely the translation of denial into  truth. If to love oneself is to heal oneself, those who are sick do
Tx:11.14  heal them but which they are denying to themselves. If they knew the  truth about themselves, they could not be sick. The task of the
Tx:11.14  The task of the miracle-worker thus becomes to deny the denial of  truth. The sick must heal themselves, for the truth is in them. Yet,
Tx:11.14  to deny the denial of truth. The sick must heal themselves, for the  truth is in them. Yet, having obscured it, the light in another mind
Tx:11.21  deny the denial of perfection is not so difficult as the denial of  truth, and what we can accomplish together must be believed when you
Tx:11.35  your perceptions of the world to this altar, for it is the altar to  truth. There you will see your vision changed, and there you will
Tx:11.73  within and see me, it will be because you have decided to manifest  truth. And as you manifest it, you will see it both without and
Tx:11.80  of everything you see. For what you have made invisible is the only  truth, and what you have not heard is the only answer. God would
Tx:11.82  your perception is healed. You have made the invisible the only  truth that this world holds. Valuing nothing, you have sought nothing
Tx:11.82  much distance you have tried to interpose between your awareness and  truth. God's Son can be seen because his vision is shared. The Holy
Tx:11.97  is therefore God's way of reminding you of His Son and what he is in  truth. For God has never condemned His Son, and being guiltless, he
Tx:12.4  we must look upon calmly, for the ego cannot protect you against  truth, and in its presence the ego is dispelled.
Tx:12.5 In the calm light of  truth, let us recognize that you believe you have crucified God's
Tx:12.8  the depth of your fear. For you believe that in the presence of  truth you will turn on yourself and destroy yourself.
Tx:12.18  the Father in loving remembrance of Him. You will find this place of  truth as you see it in your brothers, for though they may deceive
Tx:12.44  themselves as the Holy Spirit sees them. And with this vision of the  truth in them came all the beauty of the world to shine upon them.
Tx:12.49  Let no dark cloud out of your past obscure him from you, for  truth lies only in the present, and you will find it if you seek it
Tx:12.51  on you because you called them forth. And they will not deny the  truth in you because you looked for it in them and found it there.
Tx:12.56  laws of love of your free will and out of quiet recognition of the  truth in them. The attraction of light must draw you willingly, and
Tx:13.16 See no one, then, as guilty, and you will affirm the  truth of guiltlessness unto yourself. In every condemnation that you
Tx:13.19  you. He does not value you as you do. He knows Himself and knows the  truth in you. He knows there is no difference, for He knows not of
Tx:13.28  purity in which you were created. Fear not to look upon the lovely  truth in you. Look through the cloud of guilt that dims your vision,
Tx:13.40  find the answer that makes the need for any differences disappear.  Truth comes of its own will unto its own. When you have learned that
Tx:13.40  its own will unto its own. When you have learned that you belong to  truth, it will flow lightly over you without a difference of any
Tx:13.45  learned that teaches you what is not true must be reconciled with  truth. This is the reconciliation which the ego would substitute for
Tx:13.46  or not remember what has always been? It is this reconciliation with  truth, and only truth, in which the peace of Heaven lies.
Tx:13.46  what has always been? It is this reconciliation with truth, and only  truth, in which the peace of Heaven lies.
Tx:13.47  the Holy Spirit teaches you the simple conclusions that speak for  truth and only truth.
Tx:13.47  teaches you the simple conclusions that speak for truth and only  truth.
Tx:13.49  you would have to do if it had been done unto you? Indirect proof of  truth is needed in a world made of denial and without direction. You
Tx:13.50  your thought system is closed off and wholly separated from the  truth. This is an insane world, and do not underestimate the actual
Tx:13.51  but those he made are his beliefs. And it is these, and not the  truth, that he has chosen to defend and love. They will not be taken
Tx:13.53  learn. His message is not indirect, but He must introduce the simple  truth into a thought system which has become so twisted and so
Tx:13.56  begins His lesson in simplicity with the fundamental teaching that  truth is true. This is the hardest lesson you will ever learn, and in
Tx:13.56  you have woven out of it. Nothing is so alien to you as the simple  truth, and nothing are you less inclined to listen to. The contrast
Tx:13.58 The  truth is true. Nothing else matters, nothing else is real, and
Tx:13.58  it belongs. You will find no deception there but only the simple  truth. And you will love it because you will understand it.
Tx:13.59 Like you, the Holy Spirit did not make  truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He brings the light of truth
Tx:13.59  make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He brings the light of  truth into the darkness and lets it shine on you. And as it shines,
Tx:13.60 When you teach anyone that  truth is true, you learn it with him. And so you learn that what
Tx:13.61  the joyous lessons that come quickly on the firm foundation that  truth is true. For what is builded there is true and built on truth.
Tx:13.61  that truth is true. For what is builded there is true and built on  truth. The universe of learning will open up before you in all its
Tx:13.61  will open up before you in all its gracious simplicity. With  truth before you, you will not look back.
Tx:13.62  free you from the past and open up the way to freedom for you. For  truth is true. What else could ever be or ever was? This simple
Tx:13.63  compelling that you will realize it is impossible to deny the simple  truth. For there is nothing else. God is everywhere, and His Son is
Tx:13.68  can decide between is fixed because there are no alternatives except  truth and illusion. And there is no overlap between them because they
Tx:13.76 Would you deny the  truth of God's decision and place your pitiful appraisal of yourself
Tx:13.86  is your Atonement. Grant it to him, and you will see the  truth of what you have acknowledged. Yet truth is offered first to be
Tx:13.86  him, and you will see the truth of what you have acknowledged. Yet  truth is offered first to be received, even as God gave it first to
Tx:13.88 When you have let all that obscured the  truth in your most holy mind be undone for you and stand in grace
Tx:13.91  awaking gladly to His love and holiness, which join together as the  truth in you, making you one with Him.
Tx:14.19  shines guilt away because, when they are brought together, the  truth of one must make the falsity of its opposite perfectly clear.
Tx:14.24  you are. In union, everything that is not real must disappear, for  truth is union. As darkness disappears in light, so ignorance fades
Tx:14.24  the messenger of ignorance rather than a helper in the search for  truth.
Tx:14.25 The search for  truth is but the honest searching out of everything that interferes
Tx:14.25  is but the honest searching out of everything that interferes with  truth. Truth is. It can be neither lost nor sought nor found. It is
Tx:14.25  the honest searching out of everything that interferes with truth.  Truth is. It can be neither lost nor sought nor found. It is there,
Tx:14.25  of fear on which you have erected your insane system of belief, the  truth lies hidden. Yet you cannot know this, for by hiding truth in
Tx:14.25  the truth lies hidden. Yet you cannot know this, for by hiding  truth in fear, you see no reason to believe the more you look at
Tx:14.28  darkness when a mind believes in darkness and will not let it go.  Truth does not struggle against ignorance, and love does not attack
Tx:14.28  making. God knows it not. The Holy Spirit uses defenses on behalf of  truth only because you made them against it. His perception of them,
Tx:14.35  anything except reality. God's glory and His Son's belong to you in  truth. They have no opposite, and nothing else can you bestow upon
Tx:14.36 There is no substitute for  truth. And truth will make this plain to you as you are brought into
Tx:14.36 There is no substitute for truth. And  truth will make this plain to you as you are brought into the place
Tx:14.36  to you as you are brought into the place where you must meet with  truth. And there you must be led, through gentle understanding which
Tx:14.36  can lead you nowhere else. Where God is, there are you. Such is the  truth. Nothing can change the knowledge given you by God into
Tx:14.38  holiness, or what you made to what you are. The bringing together of  truth and illusion, of the ego to God, is the Holy Spirit's only
Tx:14.38  of timelessness lay in the decision to be not as you were. Thus,  truth was made past, and the present was dedicated to illusion. And
Tx:14.39 Bringing the ego to God is but to bring error to  truth, where it stands corrected because it is the opposite of what
Tx:14.40 Merely by being what it is does  truth release you from everything that it is not. The Atonement is so
Tx:14.45  is no image, and His creations, as part of Him, hold Him in them in  truth. They do not merely reflect truth, for they are truth.
Tx:14.45  part of Him, hold Him in them in truth. They do not merely reflect  truth, for they are truth.
Tx:14.45  Him in them in truth. They do not merely reflect truth, for they are  truth.
Tx:14.46  of Heaven here and bring this world to Heaven. For the reflection of  truth draws everyone to truth, and as they enter into it, they leave
Tx:14.46  this world to Heaven. For the reflection of truth draws everyone to  truth, and as they enter into it, they leave all reflections behind.
Tx:14.47  is shared and not reflected. By sharing its reflection here, its  truth becomes the only perception the Son of God accepts. And thus,
Tx:14.54  the ego truly. Yet when two or more join together in searching for  truth, the ego can no longer defend its lack of content. The fact of
Tx:14.58  that it must fail you. For power is not a seeming strength, and  truth is beyond semblance of any kind. Yet all that stands between
Tx:14.61  have taught yourselves unto the light in you can hardly judge the  truth and value of this course. Yet God did not abandon you. And so
Tx:14.62  accomplish this, all your dark lessons must be brought willingly to  truth and joyously laid down by hands open to receive, not closed to
Tx:15.16  take time, when all the obstacles to learning it have been removed?  Truth is so far beyond time that all of it happens at once. For as it
Tx:15.39  and not on time. The reason why this course is simple is that  truth is simple. Complexity is of the ego and is nothing more than
Tx:15.48  chosen to support the ego, as a learning experience which points to  truth. Under His teaching, every relationship becomes a lesson in
Tx:15.64  remembered with Him. For communication is remembered together, as is  truth. There is no exclusion in the holy instant because the past is
Tx:15.79  every sign or token of your willingness to learn of Him what the  truth must be. He is swift to utilize whatever you offer Him on
Tx:15.91  union with Him.] The reality of this relationship becomes the only  truth that you could ever want. All truth is here.
Tx:15.91  relationship becomes the only truth that you could ever want. All  truth is here.
Tx:16.8  from each other. That is not the way, for it leads not to light and  truth. No needs will long be left unmet if you leave them all to Him
Tx:16.11 There is a tendency to fragment and then to be concerned about the  truth of just a little part of the whole. And this is but a way of
Tx:16.15  accepting it for what it is and giving thanks for it? Honor the  truth that has been given you, and be glad you do not understand it.
Tx:16.16 No evidence will convince you of the  truth of what you do not want. Yet your relationship with Him is real
Tx:16.16  gain is there to you in clinging to it and denying the evidence for  truth? For you have come too near to truth to renounce it now, and
Tx:16.16  it and denying the evidence for truth? For you have come too near to  truth to renounce it now, and you will yield to its compelling
Tx:16.20  your faith in them and not in their denial. This year invest in  truth, and let it work in peace. Have faith in what has faith in you.
Tx:16.22  its witnesses and in avoiding those which spoke for the cause of  truth and its effects.
Tx:16.24  that is really outside yourself, not by your own projection, but in  truth. And it is this that you have taken in that is not you. What
Tx:16.24  but beliefs in what is not there. And the seeming conflict between  truth and illusion can only be resolved by separating yourself from
Tx:16.24  be resolved by separating yourself from the illusion and not from  truth.
Tx:16.34  illusion you prefer. There is no conflict in the choice between  truth and illusion. Seen in these terms, no one would hesitate. But
Tx:16.36 Recognize this, for it is true, and  truth must be recognized if it is to be distinguished from illusion:
Tx:16.36  real to you, but which does not exist. You have come very close to  truth, and only this stands between you and the bridge that leads you
Tx:16.37  relationship is but a shabby substitute for what makes you whole in  truth, not in illusion. Your relationship with them is without guilt,
Tx:16.39  deprives you of knowledge, for fantasies are the veil behind which  truth is hidden. To lift the veil which seems so dark and heavy, it
Tx:16.39  the veil which seems so dark and heavy, it is only needful to value  truth beyond all fantasy and to be entirely unwilling to settle for
Tx:16.39  and to be entirely unwilling to settle for illusion in place of  truth.
Tx:16.40  the call of hate, and see no fantasies[, for your completion lies in  truth and nowhere else]. See in the call of hate and in every fantasy
Tx:16.41 Your Father can no more forget the  truth in you than you can fail to remember it. The Holy Spirit is the
Tx:16.41  away from all illusions now, and let nothing stand in the way of  truth. We will take the last foolish journey away from truth
Tx:16.41  in the way of truth. We will take the last foolish journey away from  truth together, and then together we go straight to God in joyous
Tx:16.42  is no veil the love of God in us together cannot lift. The way to  truth is open. Follow it with me.
Tx:16.53  power to what you think you have attacked? So fearful has the  truth become to you that unless it is weak and little, [and unworthy
Tx:16.53  the little self which you have made with power you wrested from  truth, triumphing over it and leaving it helpless. See how exactly is
Tx:16.56  you want them to be true. And to the same extent you are denying  truth, and so are making yourself unable to make the simple choice
Tx:16.56  and so are making yourself unable to make the simple choice between  truth and illusion, God and fantasy. Remember this and you will have
Tx:16.57  a carefully contrived learning experience designed to lead away from  truth and into fantasy. Yet for every learning that would hurt you,
Tx:16.57  not to listen to this course and follow it is but the choice between  truth and illusion. For here is truth separated from illusion and not
Tx:16.57  follow it is but the choice between truth and illusion. For here is  truth separated from illusion and not confused with it at all.
Tx:16.67  has wrought is ugly, fearful, and very dangerous. See no illusion of  truth and beauty there. And be you thankful that there is a place
Tx:16.67  and beauty there. And be you thankful that there is a place where  truth and beauty wait for you. Go on to meet them gladly, and learn
Tx:16.75  Spirit must teach through comparisons and uses opposites to point to  truth. The holy instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed belief in
Tx:16.75  now enfolds you in perfect gentleness. Everything is gone except the  truth.
Tx:16.76  the complete difference in all respects between your experience of  truth and illusion. Yet you will not attempt this long. In the holy
Tx:16.79 Remember that you always choose between  truth and illusion—between the real Atonement which would heal and
Tx:16.80  God. Praise be to your relationship with Him and to no other. The  truth lies here and nowhere else. You choose this or nothing.
Tx:17.2  ask of you conflicting things. What you use in fantasy, you deny to  truth. Yet what you give to truth to use for you is safe from fantasy.
Tx:17.2  What you use in fantasy, you deny to truth. Yet what you give to  truth to use for you is safe from fantasy.
Tx:17.3  all you mean is that there are some things you would withhold from  truth. You believe that truth cannot deal with them only because you
Tx:17.3  are some things you would withhold from truth. You believe that  truth cannot deal with them only because you would keep them from
Tx:17.3  truth cannot deal with them only because you would keep them from  truth. Very simply, your lack of faith in the power that heals all
Tx:17.4  teacher and some to another. And so you learn to deal with part of  truth in one way and in another way the other part. To fragment truth
Tx:17.4  of truth in one way and in another way the other part. To fragment  truth is to destroy it by rendering it meaningless. Orders of reality
Tx:17.5 Think you that you can bring  truth to fantasy and learn what truth means from the perspective of
Tx:17.5 Think you that you can bring truth to fantasy and learn what  truth means from the perspective of illusions? Truth has no meaning
Tx:17.5  and learn what truth means from the perspective of illusions?  Truth has no meaning in illusion. The frame of reference for its
Tx:17.5  of reference for its meaning must be itself. When you try to bring  truth to illusions, you are trying to make illusions real and keep
Tx:17.5  them by justifying your belief in them. But to give illusions to  truth is to enable truth to teach that the illusions are unreal and
Tx:17.5  your belief in them. But to give illusions to truth is to enable  truth to teach that the illusions are unreal and thus enable you to
Tx:17.5  thus enable you to escape from them. Reserve not one idea aside from  truth, or you establish orders of reality which must imprison you.
Tx:17.6 Be willing, then, to give all you have held outside the  truth to Him who knows the truth and in Whom all is brought to truth.
Tx:17.6  to give all you have held outside the truth to Him who knows the  truth and in Whom all is brought to truth. [Salvation from separation
Tx:17.6  the truth to Him who knows the truth and in Whom all is brought to  truth. [Salvation from separation will be complete or will be not at
Tx:17.6  just this same attempt. And you are holding both of you away from  truth and from salvation. As you forgive him, you restore to truth
Tx:17.6  from truth and from salvation. As you forgive him, you restore to  truth what was denied by both of you. And you will see forgiveness
Tx:17.8  everything has been forgiven, and there are no fantasies to hide the  truth. The bridge between that world and this is so little and so
Tx:17.16  these relationships have as their purpose the exclusion of the  truth about the other and of yourself. This is why you see in both
Tx:17.24  retained and all the rest let go. And what is thus let go is all the  truth the past could ever offer to the present as witnesses for its
Tx:17.25 It is still up to you to choose to be willing to join with  truth or illusion. But remember that to choose one is to let the
Tx:17.25  the veil of ugliness, the real world or the world of guilt and fear,  truth or illusion, freedom or slavery—it is all the same. For you
Tx:17.26  through them. They were created to create with you. This is the  truth that I would interpose between you and your goal of madness. Be
Tx:17.29  you have raised their substitutes to such predominance that when  truth calls to you, as it does constantly, you answer with a
Tx:17.29  your minds so completely that you will not hear the call of  truth. In a sense the special relationship was the ego's answer to
Tx:17.30  enabled it to be healed. This blessing holds within itself the  truth about everything. And the truth is that the Holy Spirit is in
Tx:17.30  blessing holds within itself the truth about everything. And the  truth is that the Holy Spirit is in close relationship with you
Tx:17.36 That is why the holy instant is so important in the defense of  truth. The truth itself needs no defense, but you do need defense
Tx:17.36  is why the holy instant is so important in the defense of truth. The  truth itself needs no defense, but you do need defense against your
Tx:17.36  against your own acceptance of the gift of death. When you who are  truth accept an idea so dangerous to truth, you threaten truth with
Tx:17.36  gift of death. When you who are truth accept an idea so dangerous to  truth, you threaten truth with destruction. And your defense must now
Tx:17.36  you who are truth accept an idea so dangerous to truth, you threaten  truth with destruction. And your defense must now be undertaken to
Tx:17.36  with destruction. And your defense must now be undertaken to keep  truth whole. The power of Heaven, the love of God, the tears of
Tx:17.55 You stand together in the holy presence of  truth itself. Here is the goal, together with you. Think you not the
Tx:17.60  approach has brought you closer to the Holy Spirit's sorting out of  truth and falsity. The true becomes what can be used to meet the
Tx:17.61 The goal of  truth has further practical advantages. If the situation is used for
Tx:17.61  truth has further practical advantages. If the situation is used for  truth and sanity, its outcome must be peace. And this is quite apart
Tx:17.61  quite apart from what the outcome is. If peace is the condition of  truth and sanity and cannot be without them, where peace is they must
Tx:17.61  and sanity and cannot be without them, where peace is they must be.  Truth comes of itself. If you experience peace, it is because the
Tx:17.61  Truth comes of itself. If you experience peace, it is because the  truth has come to you, and you will see the outcome truly, for
Tx:17.62 The goal of  truth requires faith. Faith is implicit in the acceptance of the Holy
Tx:17.62  Spirit's purpose, and this faith is all-inclusive. Where the goal of  truth is set, there faith must be. The Holy Spirit sees the situation
Tx:17.63  that this attempt conflicts with unity and must obscure the goal of  truth. And peace will not be experienced except in fantasy. Truth has
Tx:17.63  goal of truth. And peace will not be experienced except in fantasy.  Truth has not come because faith has been denied, being withheld from
Tx:17.63  Thus do you lose the understanding of the situation the goal of  truth would bring. For fantasy solutions bring but the illusion of
Tx:17.63  and the illusion of peace is not the condition in which the  truth can enter.

Tx:17.76  faith can no longer be withheld. The strain of refusing faith to  truth is enormous and far greater than you realize. But to answer

Tx:18.41  of what never was. If you already understood the difference between  truth and illusion, the Atonement would have no meaning. The holy
Tx:19.1 We said before that when a situation has been dedicated wholly to  truth, peace is inevitable. Its attainment is the criterion by which
Tx:19.1  faith will never be attained, for what is wholly dedicated to  truth as its only goal is brought to truth by faith. This faith

Tx:19.3  illusion, acting accordingly; seeing what is not there, hearing what  truth has never said, and behaving insanely, being imprisoned by
Tx:19.4  for you have made of it an “enemy” of healing and the opposite of  truth.
Tx:19.5  Faithlessness is wholly dedicated to illusions; faith wholly to  truth. Partial dedication is impossible. Truth is the absence of
Tx:19.5  illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial dedication is impossible.  Truth is the absence of illusion; illusion the absence of truth.

Tx:19.8  Truth and illusion have no connection. This will remain forever true,

Tx:19.20  tenet in the ego's insane religion is that sin is not error but  truth, and it is innocence that would deceive. Purity is seen as
Tx:19.20  humility? Or is it, rather, an attempt to wrest creation away from  truth and keep it separate?
Tx:19.22  and decay. If this is a mistake, it can be undone easily by  truth. Any mistake can be corrected, if truth be left to judge it.

Tx:19.22  is brought to it for judgment. As a mistake, it must be brought to  truth. It is impossible to have faith in sin, for sin is
Tx:19.45  illusion. Such was the journey; such its ending. And in the goal of  truth which you accepted must all illusions end.

Tx:20.1  is Palm Sunday, the celebration of victory and the acceptance of the  truth. Let us not spend this holy week brooding on the crucifixion of
Tx:20.2  between the journey and its purpose; between the acceptance of the  truth and its expression. This week we celebrate life, not death. And
Tx:20.16  adjustments necessary because they are not true. Who need adjust to  truth, which calls on only what he is, to understand?

Tx:20.23  universe. And of the one blind thing in all the seeing universe of  truth you ask, “How shall I look upon the Son of God?”
Tx:20.24  would you believe the answer and adjust to it as if it were the  truth? The world you look on is the answer that it gave you, and you
Tx:20.54  it will endure forever. Its firm foundation is eternally upheld by  truth, and love shines on it with the gentle smile and tender
Tx:20.61  where they cannot be. And both must be undone for purposes of  truth.
Tx:20.63  and reality kept separated. Here are illusions never brought to  truth and always hidden from it. And here in darkness is your
Tx:20.67  enough to show you what is given you who see your brother sinless.  Truth is restored to you through your desire, as it was lost to you
Tx:20.70  shelter for God's Son? Why would you rather look on it than on the  truth? How can the engine of destruction be preferred and chosen to
Tx:21.19  Be willing, then, to have it taken from him and be replaced with  truth. And as you look upon the change in him, it will be given you
Tx:21.22  therefore seem unreal. All that is asked of you is to make room for  truth. You are not asked to make or do what lies beyond your
Tx:21.28 Yet the  truth is you were both created by a loving Father Who created you
Tx:21.30  accept this change, you have accepted the idea of making room for  truth. The source of sin is gone. You may imagine that you still

Tx:21.77 Forget not that the choice of  truth or sin, power or helplessness, is the choice of whether to

Tx:22.17  Truth is the opposite of illusions because it offers joy. What else
Tx:22.18  if the change be real and not imagined, illusions must give way to  truth and not to other dreams that are but equally unreal. This is no
Tx:22.19  way to escape from misery is to recognize it and go the other way.  Truth is the same and misery the same, but they are different from
Tx:22.19  what is different. One illusion cherished and defended against the  truth makes all truth meaningless and all illusions real. Such is the

Tx:22.65  obscured. What teaches you you cannot separate, denies the ego. Let  truth decide if you be different or the same and teach you which is
Tx:23.3  innocence. Nothing they see is harmful, for their awareness of the  truth releases everything from the illusion of harmfulness. And what
Tx:23.4  of guilt in innocence. Think what a happy world you walk with  truth beside you! Do not give up this world of freedom for a little
Tx:23.11  think you are a body, you will believe you have forgotten it. Yet  truth can never be forgotten by itself, and you have not forgotten
Tx:23.12  conquers will be true. There is no conflict between them and the  truth. Nor are they different from each other. Both are not true. And
Tx:23.12  reality and has no influence upon it. Illusions cannot triumph over  truth, nor can they threaten it in any way. And the reality which
Tx:23.13  you remember is a part of you. For you must be as God created you.  Truth does not fight against illusions, nor do illusions fight
Tx:23.13  does not fight against illusions, nor do illusions fight against the  truth. Illusions battle only with themselves. Being fragmented, they
Tx:23.13  battle only with themselves. Being fragmented, they fragment. But  truth is indivisible and far beyond their little reach. You will
Tx:23.13  nothing happens. There is no victor, and there is no victory. And  truth stands radiant, apart from conflict, untouched and quiet in the
Tx:23.15 See how the conflict of illusions disappears when it is brought to  truth! For it seems real only as long as it is seen as war between
Tx:23.18 Illusion meets illusion;  truth, itself. The meeting of illusions leads to war. Peace, looking
Tx:23.19  sphere. Yet they appear to constitute an obstacle to reason and to  truth. Let us, then, look upon them calmly, that we may look beyond
Tx:23.19  because it is their purpose to make meaningless and to attack the  truth. Here are the laws that rule the world you made. And yet they
Tx:23.20 The first chaotic law is that the  truth is different for everyone. Like all these principles, this one
Tx:23.21  the first principle of miracles. For this establishes degrees of  truth among illusions, making it appear that some of them are harder
Tx:23.21  any kind can be corrected because they are untrue. When brought to  truth instead of to each other, they merely disappear. No part of
Tx:23.21  merely disappear. No part of nothing can be more resistant to the  truth than can another.
Tx:23.24  it. It is not seen as even necessary that He be asked about the  truth of what has been established for His belief. His Son can tell
Tx:23.32  that it is true. It is the function of insanity to take the place of  truth. It must be seen as truth to be believed. And if it is the
Tx:23.32  function of insanity to take the place of truth. It must be seen as  truth to be believed. And if it is the truth, then must its opposite,
Tx:23.32  of truth. It must be seen as truth to be believed. And if it is the  truth, then must its opposite, which was the truth before, be madness
Tx:23.32  And if it is the truth, then must its opposite, which was the  truth before, be madness now. Such a reversal, completely turned
Tx:23.34  we have seen how it appears to function many times before. In  truth it does not function, yet in dreams, where only shadows play
Tx:23.39  of truth's reversal, leading still deeper into terror and away from  truth. Think not one step is smaller than another nor that return
Tx:23.47  is not loving must be an attack. Every illusion is an assault on  truth, and every one does violence to the idea of love because it
Tx:23.47  does violence to the idea of love because it seems to be of equal  truth.
Tx:23.48 What can be equal to the  truth yet different? Murder and love are incompatible. Yet if they
Tx:23.51  be perceived as nothingness when you engage in it? How can the  truth of miracles be recognized if murder is your choice?
Tx:24.2  is no substitute for peace. What God creates has no alternative. The  truth arises from what He knows. And your decisions come from your
Tx:24.11 Those who are special must defend illusions against the  truth. For what is specialness but an attack upon the Will of God?
Tx:24.13  an alien will to which illusions of yourself are dearer than the  truth.
Tx:24.14  of peace and wrapped it carefully in sin to keep it “safe” from  truth.
Tx:24.15  If you think you are and would defend your specialness against the  truth of what you really are, how can you know the truth? What answer
Tx:24.15  against the truth of what you really are, how can you know the  truth? What answer that the Holy Spirit gives can reach you, when it
Tx:24.16  one a different message, and one with different meaning, is the  truth. Yet how can truth be different to each one? The special
Tx:24.16  message, and one with different meaning, is the truth. Yet how can  truth be different to each one? The special messages the special hear
Tx:24.17  in its defense against himself will vanish as his mind accepts the  truth about himself as it returns to take their place. This is the
Tx:24.17  as it returns to take their place. This is the only “cost” of  truth: you will no longer see what never was, nor hear what makes no
Tx:24.18  Nor will you change his function, any more than you can change the  truth in him and in yourself. But be you certain that the truth is
Tx:24.18  change the truth in him and in yourself. But be you certain that the  truth is just the same in both. It gives no different messages and
Tx:24.18  dream of specialness remain between you. What is one is joined in  truth.
Tx:24.20 You have come far along the way of  truth—too far to falter now. Just one step more and every vestige
Tx:24.20  so remote that they cannot be reached. Here in this holy place does  truth stand waiting to receive you both in silent blessing and in
Tx:24.22  the same as God is one with Him. And only specialness could make the  truth of God and you as one seem anything but Heaven and the hope of
Tx:24.24  and in loneliness your special kingdom, apart from God, away from  truth and from salvation.
Tx:24.28  you did not anticipate upsets your world and hurls it into chaos.  Truth is not frail. Illusions leave it perfectly unmoved [and
Tx:24.28  it perfectly unmoved [and undisturbed]. But specialness is not the  truth in you. It can be thrown off balance by anything. What rests on
Tx:24.37  but only in the sense that all illusions are “threatened” by the  truth. They will not stand before it. Yet what comfort has ever been
Tx:24.38  brother's sins would justify itself and give it meaning that the  truth denies. All that is real proclaims his sinlessness. All that is

Tx:24.53  freedom yours, for such it is. Let not his specialness obscure the  truth in him, for not one law of death you bind him to will you
Tx:24.55  situations and through time which seems to have no end until the  truth be your decision. For eternity is not regained by still one
Tx:24.55  Him He set forever in your brother's holiness that you might see the  truth about yourself set forth at last in terms you recognized and
Tx:24.59  grim determination was for this—you wanted specialness to be the  truth.
Tx:24.60  and tedious, too heavy to be borne. Yet to the dedication to the  truth as God established it no sacrifice is asked, no strain called

Tx:25.8  Heaven presents itself to you as separate too. Not that it is in  truth, but that the link that has been given you to join the truth
Tx:25.8  is in truth, but that the link that has been given you to join the  truth may reach to you through what you understand. Father and Son
Tx:25.8  Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your brothers join as one in  truth. Christ and His Father never have been separate, and Christ
Tx:25.10  it is. And It must use all learning to transfer illusions to the  truth, taking all false ideas of what you are and leading you beyond
Tx:25.10  all false ideas of what you are and leading you beyond them to the  truth that is beyond them. All this can very simply be reduced to

Tx:25.53  rests on sin. Who could create the changeless if it does not rest on  truth?
Tx:25.55  gentle eyes would look beyond the madness and rest peacefully on  truth. Each sees a world immutable, as each defines the changeless
Tx:25.55  sees a world immutable, as each defines the changeless and eternal  truth of what you are. And each reflects a view of what the Father

Tx:25.62  and in Him no loss is possible. And this is sane because it is the  truth.
Tx:25.70  but have a Judge Who knows that they are wholly innocent in  truth. In justice, He is bound to set them free and give them all the

Tx:26.5 Those who would see the witnesses to  truth instead of to illusion merely ask that they might see a purpose
Tx:26.11  corrected. One mistake is not more difficult for Him to bring to  truth than is another. For there is but one mistake—the whole idea
Tx:26.18  when all He knows is one? He knows of one creation, one reality, one  truth, and but one Son. Nothing conflicts with oneness. How, then,

Tx:26.18  in its simple presence and bring complexity where oneness is? The  truth makes no decisions, for there is nothing to decide between. And
Tx:26.19  conflicting values meet and all illusions are laid down beside the  truth where they are judged to be untrue. This borderland is just
Tx:26.20  here in that the words imply a limited reality, a partial  truth, a segment of the universe made true. This is because knowledge
Tx:26.21 Nothing the Son of God believes can be destroyed. But what is  truth to him must be brought to the last comparison that he will ever

Tx:26.37  in place of what is really now and here. Is this a hindrance to the  truth the past is gone and cannot be returned to you? And do you want
Tx:26.44  to keep the ones which he prefers and find the safety that the  truth alone can give? Who can believe illusions are the same and
Tx:26.45  God appointed has no substitute, for what illusion can replace the  truth?
Tx:26.46  God has called your Friend. And it is He who is your only Friend in  truth. He brings you gifts that are not of this world, and only He to
Tx:26.48 Guilt asks for punishment, and its request is granted—not in  truth but in the world of shadows and illusions built on sin. The Son
Tx:26.48  changes, made to take the place of changeless knowledge. Yet is  truth unchanged. It cannot be perceived, but only known. What is
Tx:26.48  What is perceived takes many forms, but none has meaning. Brought to  truth, its senselessness is quite apparent. Kept apart from truth, it
Tx:26.48  to truth, its senselessness is quite apparent. Kept apart from  truth, it seems to have a meaning and be real.
Tx:26.49 Perception's laws are opposite to  truth, and what is true of knowledge is not true of anything that is
Tx:26.50  laws must be reversed, because they are reversals of the laws of  truth. The laws of truth forever will be true and cannot be reversed,
Tx:26.50  because they are reversals of the laws of truth. The laws of  truth forever will be true and cannot be reversed, yet can be seen as
Tx:26.51 It is impossible that one illusion be less amenable to  truth than are the rest. But it is possible that some are given
Tx:26.51  that some are given greater value and less willingly offered to  truth for healing and for help. No illusion has any truth in it. Yet
Tx:26.51  offered to truth for healing and for help. No illusion has any  truth in it. Yet it appears some are more true than others, although
Tx:26.51  is preference, not reality. What relevance has preference to the  truth? Illusions are illusions and are false. Your preference gives
Tx:26.51  any wish that seems to go against His Will has no foundation in the  truth.
Tx:26.53 Nothing gives meaning where no meaning is. And  truth needs no defense to make it true. Illusions have no witnesses
Tx:26.56  perfect and complete. What is forgiveness but a willingness that  truth be true? What can remain unhealed and broken from a Unity Which
Tx:26.63  but calls your ancient name, which you will recognize because the  truth is in your memory. And to this name, your brother calls for his

Tx:27.32  you leave as vacant, God will fill, and where He is, there must the  truth abide. Unweakened power with no opposite is what creation is.
Tx:27.32  is. For this there are no symbols. Nothing points beyond the  truth, for what can stand for more than everything? Yet true undoing
Tx:27.33  you have chosen to impose. Forgiveness is the means by which the  truth is represented temporarily. It lets the Holy Spirit make
Tx:27.56  not make a witness true because you called him by truth's name. The  truth is found in him if it is truth he represents. And otherwise he
Tx:27.56  you called him by truth's name. The truth is found in him if it is  truth he represents. And otherwise he lies, if you should call him by

Tx:27.67  They support its claim on your allegiance. What conceals the  truth is not where you should look to find the truth. The witnesses
Tx:27.67  What conceals the truth is not where you should look to find the  truth. The witnesses to sin all stand within one little space. And it
Tx:27.71  a tiny you and an enormous world, with different dreams about the  truth in you. The gap between reality and dreams lies not between the
Tx:27.84 The world but demonstrates an ancient  truth—you will believe that others do to you exactly what you think
Tx:27.86  Whoever takes the role of enemy and of attacker, still is this the  truth. Whatever seems to be the cause of any pain and suffering you
Tx:27.87  hurt you bring to Him He will make answer with this very simple  truth. For this one answer takes away the cause of every form of
Tx:28.3  It is an unselective memory, which is not used to interfere with  truth. All things the Holy Spirit can employ for healing have been
Tx:28.6  all the other attributes with which you seek to keep concealed the  truth about yourself. Time neither takes away nor can restore. And
Tx:28.42  own as well. Your dreams are witnesses to his, and his attest the  truth of yours. Yet if you see there is no truth in yours, his dreams
Tx:28.42  his, and his attest the truth of yours. Yet if you see there is no  truth in yours, his dreams will [disappear before his eyes], and he

Tx:28.49  you can be a thing that is not you must be a dream and cannot be the  truth.
Tx:28.50 You have conceived a little gap between illusions and the  truth to be the place where all your safety lies and where your Self

Tx:29.10  suffering to learn that you are free? Why would you not acclaim the  truth, instead of looking on it as an enemy? Why does an easy path,
Tx:29.21  live. Within the dream of bodies and of death is yet one theme of  truth—no more, perhaps, than just a tiny spark, a space of light
Tx:29.25 Do you believe that  truth can be but some illusions? They are dreams because they are not
Tx:29.25  They are dreams because they are not true. Their equal lack of  truth becomes the basis for the miracle, which means that you have

Tx:29.44  him, this cannot be so. And therefore by his coming, he denies the  truth about himself and seeks for something more than everything, as
Tx:29.48 All idols of this world were made to keep the  truth within from being known to you and to maintain allegiance to
Tx:29.50  of your reality an idol which you must protect against the light of  truth. And all the world becomes the means by which this idol can be
Tx:29.56  gift of Heaven and eternal peace. The miracle does not restore the  truth, the light the veil between has not put out. It merely lifts
Tx:29.56  veil between has not put out. It merely lifts the veil and lets the  truth shine unencumbered, being what it is. It does not need belief
Tx:29.61  your story in the dream you made, and ask yourself if it be not the  truth that you believe that it is not a dream. A dream of judgment
Tx:30.38  be yours. Decide for idols, and you ask for loss. Decide for  truth, and everything is yours.
Tx:30.49  you will not see you made it up. You always fight illusions. For the  truth behind them is so lovely and so still in loving gentleness,
Tx:30.49  you would forget defensiveness entirely and rush to its embrace. The  truth could never be attacked. And this you knew when you made idols.
Tx:30.53  They but obscure reality, and they bring fear because they hide the  truth. Do not attack what you have made to let you be deceived, for
Tx:30.73  a fearful judgment which your brother does not merit. For it is the  truth that you can merit neither more nor less than he.
Tx:30.76  must remain apart from healing, one illusion must be part of  truth. And you could not escape all guilt, but only some of it. You
Tx:30.76  forgive. And so there cannot be appearances which have replaced the  truth about God's Son.
Tx:30.78  There is no way to think of him but this if you would know the  truth about yourself:
Tx:30.80  illusions real. And what is this except a simple statement of the  truth?
Tx:30.81  you will understand he could not make an error that could change the  truth in him. It is not difficult to overlook mistakes that have been
Tx:31.5  does your ancient overlearning stand implacable before the Voice of  truth and teach you that Its lessons are not true, too hard to learn,
Tx:31.12  free because an ancient learning passed away and left a place for  truth to be reborn.
Tx:31.13  by the opposing of the new and old. It is not vanquished that the  truth be known nor fought against to lose to truth's appeal. There is
Tx:31.13  in the new. There is an ancient battle being waged against the  truth, but truth does not respond. Who could be hurt in such a war
Tx:31.13  new. There is an ancient battle being waged against the truth, but  truth does not respond. Who could be hurt in such a war unless he
Tx:31.13  be hurt in such a war unless he hurts himself? He has no enemy in  truth. And can he be assailed by dreams?
Tx:31.14 Let us review again what seems to stand between you and the  truth of what you are. For there are steps in its relinquishment. The
Tx:31.14  The first is a decision that you make. But afterwards the  truth is given you. You would establish truth. And by your wish, you
Tx:31.14  you make. But afterwards the truth is given you. You would establish  truth. And by your wish, you set two choices to be made each time you

Tx:31.38  but the search for different forms of truth. And this would keep the  truth from being reached.
Tx:31.40  lose, and what you lose is what is given him. How utterly opposed to  truth is this, when the lesson's purpose is to teach that what your
Tx:31.49  of the world, which cannot make a single picture representing  truth.
Tx:31.59  you know not what you are. It is to this unsealed and open mind that  truth returns, unhindered and unbound. Where concepts of the self
Tx:31.59  and unbound. Where concepts of the self have been laid by is  truth revealed exactly as it is. When every concept has been raised
Tx:31.59  as made on no assumptions which would stand the light, then is the  truth left free to enter in its sanctuary, clean and free of guilt.
Tx:31.65  It matters not where you believe you are nor what you think the  truth about yourself must really be. It makes no difference what you
Tx:31.66  be, forget not that no concept of yourself will stand against the  truth of what you are. Undoing truth would be impossible. But
Tx:31.66  of yourself will stand against the truth of what you are. Undoing  truth would be impossible. But concepts are not difficult to change.
Tx:31.67  or Heaven. What your Father wills for you can never change. The  truth in you remains as radiant as a star, as pure as light, as
Tx:31.68  concepts is salvation's task. For it must deal in contrasts, not in  truth, which has no opposite and cannot change. In this world's
Tx:31.74  of the self stands like a shield, a silent barricade before the  truth, and hides it from your sight. All things you see are images
Tx:31.87  not leave one source of pain unhealed nor any image left to veil the  truth. [He would remove all misery from you, whom God created altars

W1:12.8  upset you? If you could accept the world as meaningless and let the  truth be written upon it for you, it would make you indescribably
W1:12.8  it be. It is this you see in it. It is this that is meaningless in  truth. Beneath your words is written the Word of God. The truth

W1:57.4  I see everything upside down, and my thoughts are the opposite of  truth. I see the world as a prison for God's Son. It must be, then,
W1:58.2  longer see myself as guilty. I can accept the innocence that is the  truth about me. Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of the
W1:58.4  ideas about myself? My holiness undoes them all by asserting the  truth about me. In the presence of my holiness, which I share with

W1:61.4  It brings all the images you have made about yourself to the  truth and helps you depart in peace, unburdened and certain of your
W1:61.8  practice period. Thus you will awaken with an acknowledgment of the  truth about yourself, reinforce it throughout the day, and turn to
W1:62.1  you are the light of the world. Through your forgiveness does the  truth about yourself return to your memory. Therefore in your

W1:66.13  and the different as different. On one side stand all illusions. All  truth stands on the other. Let us try today to realize that only the
W1:66.13  truth stands on the other. Let us try today to realize that only the  truth is true.
W1:67.2 We will make every effort today to reach this  truth about you and to realize fully, if only for a moment, that it
W1:67.2  about you and to realize fully, if only for a moment, that it is the  truth. In the longer practice period, we will think about your
W1:67.2  unchanged and unchangeable nature. We will begin by repeating this  truth about you and then spend a few minutes adding some relevant
W1:67.5  reach past all your images and preconceptions about yourself to the  truth in you. If Love created you like Itself, this Self must be in
W1:67.6  and that you need to continue adding other thoughts related to the  truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you will succeed in going past that
W1:67.7  the idea for today as often as you can. You need to hear the  truth about yourself as frequently as possible because your mind is
W1:67.7  to remind yourself that Love created you like Itself. Hear the  truth about yourself in this.
W1:67.8  reminding you of your Father and of your Self. This is the Voice of  truth replacing everything that the ego tells you about yourself with

W1:72.5  deceiver, full of false promises and offering illusions in place of  truth.
W1:72.8  against Him and His creation, that you may not hear the Voice of  truth and welcome it as Friend. Your chosen savior takes His place
W1:72.9  to your peace of mind. You have seen yourself in a body and the  truth outside you, locked away from your awareness by the body's
W1:72.10 The light of  truth is in us, where it was placed by God. It is the body that is
W1:72.10  a body is to be in our natural state. To recognize the light of  truth in us is to recognize ourselves as we are. To see our Self as
W1:72.15  the ego what salvation is and where to find it. We are asking it of  truth. Be certain, then, that the answer will be true because of Whom
W1:73.7  happiness, and it is happiness you really want. Such is your will in  truth. And so salvation is your will as well. You want to succeed in
W1:76.7  We will devote today to rejoicing that this is so. It is no longer a  truth which we would hide. We realize instead it is a truth which
W1:76.7  is no longer a truth which we would hide. We realize instead it is a  truth which keeps us free forever. Magic imprisons, but the laws of
W1:76.10  hold your mind in silent readiness to hear the Voice that speaks the  truth to you. You will be listening to One Who says there is no loss
W1:77.2  nor on any of the rituals you have devised. It is inherent in the  truth of what you are. It is implicit in what God your Father is. It
W1:77.3  you and can never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to us in  truth. Today, however, we will also make sure that we will not
W1:78.4  So is the seeing of the world reversed, as we look out toward  truth, away from fear.
W1:78.8 Then let us ask of Him Who knows this Son of God in his reality and  truth that we may look on him a different way and see our savior
W1:80.2  God's answer. You have laid deception aside and seen the light of  truth. You have accepted salvation for yourself by bringing the
W1:R2.4 Regard these practice periods as dedications to the way, the  truth, and the life. Refuse to be side-tracked into detours,
W1:88.2  are not there to choose. That is why I always choose between  truth and illusion, between what is there and what is not. The light
W1:89.5  I express my willingness to have all my illusions be replaced with  truth according to God's plan for my salvation. I would make no
W1:91.8  The belief you are a body calls for correction, being a mistake. The  truth of what you are calls on the strength in you to bring to your
W1:92.5 Strength is the  truth about you; weakness is an idol falsely worshiped and adored
W1:92.5  where God appointed that there should be light. Strength comes from  truth and shines with light its Source has given it; weakness
W1:92.6  Truth is a savior and can only will for happiness and peace for
W1:92.10  practice seeing in the light, closing the body's eyes and asking  truth to show us how to find the meeting place of self and Self,
W1:93.1  home of evil, darkness, and sin. You think if anyone could see the  truth about you he would be repelled, recoiling from you as if from a
W1:93.7  you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the  truth about you is unchanged. Creation is eternal and unalterable.
W1:93.8  five minutes of every waking hour, we will begin by stating the  truth about our creation:
W1:93.14  to closing your eyes and realizing that this is a statement of the  truth about you.
W1:94.3  first five minutes of each waking hour to the attempt to feel the  truth in you. Begin these times of searching with these words:
W1:94.6  you have ascribed to yourself and wait in silent expectancy for the  truth. God has Himself promised that it will be revealed to all who
W1:95.11  is but another way in which you would defend illusions against the  truth. Let all these errors go by recognizing them for what they are.
W1:95.12 This is the  truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth
W1:95.12  is the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this  truth again and try to reach the place in you in which there is no
W1:95.17  world and let the light in you come through to teach the world the  truth about itself. You are One Self, in perfect harmony with all
W1:95.18  all your illusions out of the One Mind which is this Self, the holy  truth in you.
W1:95.20  time you do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the  truth within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace.
W1:96.2 The fact that  truth and illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you try, what
W1:96.7  conflicts which a dream presents? What could the resolution mean in  truth? What purpose could it serve? What is it for? Salvation cannot

W1:98.1  dedication. We take a stand on but one side today. We side with  truth and let illusions go. We will not vacillate between the two but
W1:98.1  two but take a firm position with the one. We dedicate ourselves to  truth today and to salvation as God planned it be. We will not argue
W1:99.2  Truth and illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The
W1:99.2  for, salvation from. Salvation is the borderland between the  truth and illusion. It reflects the truth because it is the means by
W1:99.2  is the borderland between the truth and illusion. It reflects the  truth because it is the means by which you can escape illusions. Yet
W1:99.2  it is the means by which you can escape illusions. Yet it is not  truth because it undoes what was never done.
W1:99.4  Mind and thought which are forever one? What plan could hold the  truth inviolate, yet recognize the need illusions bring and offer
W1:99.6 This is the thought which brings illusions to the  truth, and sees them as appearances behind which is the changeless
W1:99.12  your longer practice periods with this instruction in the way of  truth:
W1:99.15 Forgive all thoughts which would oppose the  truth of your completeness, unity, and peace. You cannot lose the
W1:99.16  to believe them true, remember that appearances cannot withstand the  truth these mighty words contain:
W1:101.11 God's Will for me is perfect happiness. This is the  truth because there is no sin.
W1:103.2  think what they have made is real. These images, with no reality in  truth, bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting being Love, He
W1:103.3 This basic error we will try again to bring to  truth today and teach ourselves:
W1:103.6  each waking hour today. Then welcome all the happiness it brings, as  truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the
W1:103.7  And it is happiness I seek today. I cannot fail because I seek the  truth.
W1:104.2  where God's gifts belong. These are the gifts which are our own in  truth. His are the gifts which we inherited before time was and which
W1:104.4 Our longer practice periods today, the hourly five minutes given  truth for your salvation, should begin with this:
W1:104.5 I seek but what belongs to me in  truth, and joy and peace are my inheritance.
W1:104.7  Him. We come in confidence today, aware that what belongs to us in  truth is what He gives. And we would wish for nothing else, for
W1:104.7  we would wish for nothing else, for nothing else belongs to us in  truth.
W1:104.9 I seek but what belongs to me in  truth. God's gifts of joy and peace are all I want.
W1:106.1  told you what salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of  truth, quiet in power, strong in stillness, and completely certain in
W1:106.2  to peace to those who cannot see. Be still today and listen to the  truth. Be not deceived by voices of the dead which tell you they have
W1:106.2  offer it to you for your belief. Attend them not, but listen to the  truth.
W1:106.3  persuasion. Hear them not. Be still today, and listen to the  truth. Go past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your
W1:106.9 I will be still and listen to the  truth. What does it mean to give and to receive?
W1:106.11 Be still and listen to the  truth today. For each five minutes spent in listening, a thousand
W1:106.11  five minutes spent in listening, a thousand minds are opened to the  truth. And they will hear the holy Word you hear. And when the hour
W1:106.11  past, you will again release a thousand more who pause to ask that  truth be given them along with you.
W1:106.13 Let me be still and listen to the  truth. I am the messenger of God today. My voice is His, to give what
W1:107.1 What can correct illusions but the  truth? And what are errors but illusions that remain unrecognized for
W1:107.1  but illusions that remain unrecognized for what they are? Where  truth has entered, errors disappear. They merely vanish, leaving not
W1:107.1  whence they came. From dust to dust they come and go, for only  truth remains.
W1:107.3  the faintest intimation of the state your mind will rest in when the  truth has come.
W1:107.4  illusions there could be no fear, no doubt, and no attack. When  truth has come, all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory
W1:107.4  room for transitory thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your mind.  Truth occupies your mind completely, liberating you from all beliefs
W1:107.4  from all beliefs in the ephemeral. They have no place because the  truth has come, and they are nowhere. They cannot be found, for truth
W1:107.4  the truth has come, and they are nowhere. They cannot be found, for  truth is everywhere forever now.
W1:107.5 When  truth has come, it does not stay a while to disappear or change to
W1:107.5  the world presents engender. They will merely blow away when  truth corrects the errors in your mind.
W1:107.6 When  truth has come, it harbors in its wings the gift of perfect constancy
W1:107.6  beyond it, steadily and sure. Here is the gift of healing, for the  truth needs no defense, and therefore no attack is possible.
W1:107.6  and therefore no attack is possible. Illusions can be brought to  truth to be corrected. But the truth stands far beyond illusions and
W1:107.6  possible. Illusions can be brought to truth to be corrected. But the  truth stands far beyond illusions and cannot be brought to them to
W1:107.6  far beyond illusions and cannot be brought to them to turn them into  truth.
W1:107.7  Truth does not come and go nor shift nor change, in this appearance
W1:107.8 Today belongs to  truth. Give truth its due, and it will give you yours. You were not
W1:107.8 Today belongs to truth. Give  truth its due, and it will give you yours. You were not meant to
W1:107.8  to suffer and to die. Your Father wills these dreams be gone. Let  truth correct them all. We do not ask for what we do not have. We
W1:107.9  we practice on the happy note of certainty that has been born of  truth. The shaky and unsteady footsteps of illusion is not our
W1:107.9  we live and hope and breathe and think. We do not doubt we walk with  truth today and count on it to enter into all the exercises that we
W1:107.11  Truth will correct all errors in your mind which tell you you could
W1:107.12  Truth will correct all errors in my mind, and I will rest in Him Who
W1:107.13 Then let Him lead you gently to the  truth which will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil
W1:107.14  For you will bring with you the promise of the changes which the  truth that goes with you will carry to the world. They will increase
W1:108.4  giving and receiving seen as different aspects of one Thought Whose  truth does not depend on which is seen as first, nor which appears to
W1:108.5  every kind of learning if it be directed by the One Who knows the  truth.
W1:108.9 To give and to receive are one in  truth. I will receive what I am giving now.
W1:108.14 To give and to receive are one in  truth.
W1:109.2  seek. “I rest in God.” This thought has power to wake the sleeping  truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth
W1:109.2  truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same  truth in everyone and everything there is. Here is the end of
W1:109.3  no problem which it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to  truth before the eyes of you who rest in God.
W1:109.4  hate, your rest remains completely undisturbed. Yours is the rest of  truth. Appearances cannot intrude on you. You call to all to join you
W1:110.1  to save you and the world if you believed that it is true. Its  truth would mean that you have made no changes in yourself which have
W1:110.3 If you remain as God created you, appearances cannot replace the  truth, health cannot turn to sickness, nor can death be substitute
W1:110.5  It is the birthplace of all miracles, the great restorer of the  truth to the awareness of the world. Practice today's idea with
W1:110.5  of the world. Practice today's idea with gratitude. This is the  truth that comes to set you free. This is the truth that God has
W1:110.5  gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you free. This is the  truth that God has promised you. This is the Word in which all sorrow
W1:110.10  images which you believed were you. Today we make a great advance to  truth by letting idols go and opening our hands and hearts and minds
W1:110.13 Let us declare this  truth as often as we can. This is the Word of God that sets you free.
W1:111.2  in light. I cannot see in darkness. Let the light of holiness and  truth light up my mind And let me see the innocence within.
W1:117.3 [104] I seek but what belongs to me in  truth. Love is my heritage and with it joy. These are the gifts my
W1:117.3  the gifts my Father gave to me. I would accept all that is mine in  truth.
W1:117.7 I seek but what belongs to me in  truth.
W1:118.3 [106] Let me be still and listen to the  truth. Let mine own feeble voice be still, and let me hear the mighty
W1:118.3  mine own feeble voice be still, and let me hear the mighty Voice of  truth itself assure me that I am God's perfect Son.
W1:118.7 Let me be still and listen to the  truth.
W1:119.2 [107]  Truth will correct all errors in my mind. I am mistaken when I think
W1:119.3 [108] To give and to receive are one in  truth. I will forgive all things today, that I may learn how to
W1:119.3  I will forgive all things today, that I may learn how to accept the  truth in me and come to recognize my sinlessness.
W1:119.5  Truth will correct all errors in my mind.
W1:119.7 To give and to receive are one in  truth.
W1:122.6  the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement of the  truth.
W1:122.13  as you see the changeless in the heart of change, the light of  truth behind appearances. Be tempted not to let your gifts slip by
W1:123.1  is no thought of turning back and no implacable resistance to the  truth. A bit of wavering remains, some small objections, and a little
W1:124.2  place to everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the way to  truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the world a little while.
W1:126.8 Today we try to understand the  truth that giver and receiver are the same. You will need help to
W1:126.8  Him your faith today and ask Him that He share your practicing in  truth today. And if you only catch a tiny glimpse of the release
W1:126.10  really means. Be willing to be taught. Be glad to hear the Voice of  truth and healing speak to you, and you will understand the words He
W1:127.5  There is not one principle the world upholds but violates the  truth of what love is, and what you are as well. Seek not within the
W1:127.8  He Himself has promised this. And He Himself will place a spark of  truth within your mind wherever you give up a false belief, a dark
W1:127.8  shine through your idle thoughts today and help you understand the  truth of love. In loving gentleness, He will abide with you as you
W1:130.3  project upon the world? What can be seen in darkness that is real?  Truth is eclipsed by fear, and what remains is but imagined. Yet what
W1:130.10  you fail to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and in  truth. You will not doubt what you will look upon. For though it is
W1:131.10 Today we will not choose a paradox in place of  truth. How could the Son of God make time to take away the Will of
W1:131.11 No one can fail who asks to reach the  truth, and it is truth we ask to reach today. We will devote ten
W1:131.11 No one can fail who asks to reach the truth, and it is  truth we ask to reach today. We will devote ten minutes to this goal
W1:131.11  have no meaning, no effect, and neither source nor substance in the  truth.
W1:131.15  to open it, remind yourself no one can fail who asks to reach the  truth, and it is this request you make today. Nothing but this has
W1:131.16  you realize the world you see before you in the light reflects the  truth you knew and did not quite forget in wandering away in dreams.
W1:131.19  purpose offers it to me. No one can fail who asks to reach the  truth.
W1:132.1  are mighty, and illusions are as strong in their effects as is the  truth. A madman thinks the world he sees is real and does not doubt
W1:132.5  already, hardly waiting for your thoughts to give it meaning. Yet in  truth you found exactly what you looked for when you came. There is
W1:132.7  one must go as far as he can let himself be led along the road to  truth. He will return and go still farther, or perhaps step back a
W1:132.8  that the world does not exist because what they behold must be the  truth, and yet it clearly contradicts the world. And some will find
W1:132.13  this release to give you fatherhood, not of illusions, but as God in  truth. God shares His Fatherhood with you who are His Son, for He
W1:132.14  idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny illusions, but accept the  truth. Deny you are a shadow briefly laid upon a dying world. Release
W1:133.9  what the ego wants it fails to recognize. It does not even tell the  truth as it perceives it, for it needs to keep the halo which it uses
W1:134.1  a gift unjustified and undeserved, and a complete denial of the  truth. In such a view, forgiveness must be seen as mere eccentric
W1:134.2  to what is false. It is irrelevant to everything except illusions.  Truth is God's creation, and to pardon this is meaningless. All truth
W1:134.2  Truth is God's creation, and to pardon this is meaningless. All  truth belongs to Him, reflects His laws and radiates His Love. Does
W1:134.3  on your part is that you still believe you must forgive the  truth and not illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain attempt to
W1:134.3  pardon as a vain attempt to look past what is there; to overlook the  truth in an unfounded effort to deceive yourself by making an
W1:134.4  Thus is forgiveness really but a sin, like all the rest. It says the  truth is false and smiles on the corrupt as if they were as blameless
W1:134.5  denied, or called another name, for pardon is a treachery to  truth. Guilt cannot be forgiven. If you sin, your guilt is
W1:134.6  them lightly with a little laugh and gently lays them at the feet of  truth. And there they disappear entirely.
W1:134.7 Forgiveness is the only thing that stands for  truth in the illusions of the world. It sees their nothingness and
W1:134.7  eyes and merely says to them, “My brother, what you think is not the  truth.”
W1:134.8  which is so uncorrupted that it sees illusions as illusions, not as  truth. It is because of this that it becomes the undeceiver in the
W1:134.8  the undeceiver in the face of lies, the great restorer of the simple  truth. By its ability to overlook what is not there, it opens up the
W1:134.8  By its ability to overlook what is not there, it opens up the way to  truth, which had been blocked by dreams of guilt.
W1:134.10  of guilt and pain as God Himself intended it to be and as it is in  truth. It is but lies which would condemn. In truth is innocence the
W1:134.10  to be and as it is in truth. It is but lies which would condemn. In  truth is innocence the only thing there is. Forgiveness stands
W1:134.10  only thing there is. Forgiveness stands between illusions and the  truth, between the world you see and that which lies beyond, between
W1:134.11  are all dreams of evil and of hatred and attack brought silently to  truth. They are not kept to swell and bluster and to terrify the
W1:135.11  respond with health when they have been corrected and replaced with  truth. This is the body's only real defense. Yet is this where you
W1:135.15  a frightened mind would undertake its own protection at the cost of  truth. This is not difficult to realize in some forms which these
W1:135.18 Defenses are the plans you undertake to make against the  truth. Their aim is to select what you approve and disregard what you
W1:135.20  the future, and this life becomes a meaningful encounter with the  truth that only your defenses would conceal.
W1:135.22  but realize that our defenselessness is all that is required for the  truth to dawn upon our minds with certainty.
W1:135.23  rest from senseless planning and from every thought which blocks the  truth from entering our minds. Today we will receive instead of plan,
W1:135.26  what you will receive today. And in the light and joy of simple  truth, you will but wonder why you ever thought that you must be
W1:135.29  defend myself, because the Son of God needs no defense against the  truth of his reality.
W1:136.1  illusion by the same approach that carries all of them to  truth and merely leaves them there to disappear.
W1:136.2  pile of unassembled parts. The aim of all defenses is to keep the  truth from being whole. The parts are seen as if each one were whole
W1:136.3  made without awareness. They are secret magic wands you wave when  truth appears to threaten what you would believe. They seem to be
W1:136.8  It is a choice you make, a plan you lay when for an instant  truth arises in your own deluded mind and all your world appears to
W1:136.8  world appears to totter and prepare to fall. Now are you sick that  truth may go away and threaten your establishments no more.
W1:136.9 How do you think that sickness can succeed in shielding you from  truth? Because it proves the body is not separate from you, and so
W1:136.9  body is not separate from you, and so you must be separate from the  truth. You suffer pain because the body does, and in this pain are
W1:136.10 Thus is the body stronger than the  truth, which asks you live but cannot overcome your choice to die.
W1:136.11  such mad attacks as these, with God made blind by your illusions,  truth turned into lies, and all the universe made slave to laws which
W1:136.11  them up? Who else can see them and react to them as if they were the  truth?
W1:136.12  can but choose to think you die or suffer sickness or distort the  truth in any way. What is created is apart from all of this. Defenses
W1:136.13 Such is the simple  truth. It does not make appeal to might nor triumph. It does not
W1:136.13  and futile are your attempts to plan defenses which would alter it.  Truth merely wants to give you happiness, for such its purpose is.
W1:136.14  an illusion. For it lets you think what God has given you is not the  truth right now, as it must be. The thoughts of God are quite apart
W1:136.14  For time is but another meaningless defense you made against the  truth. Yet what God wills is here, and you remain as He created you.
W1:136.15  Truth has a power far beyond defense, for no illusions can remain
W1:136.15  time—today, if you will choose to practice giving welcome to the  truth. This is our aim today. And we will give a quarter of an hour
W1:136.15  aim today. And we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the  truth to come to us and set us free.
W1:136.16 And  truth will come, for it has never been apart from us. It merely waits
W1:136.16  it with a healing prayer to help us rise above defensiveness and let  truth be as it has always been:
W1:136.17 Sickness is a defense against the  truth. I will accept the truth of what I am and let my mind be wholly
W1:136.17 Sickness is a defense against the truth. I will accept the  truth of what I am and let my mind be wholly healed today.
W1:136.18 Healing will flash across your open mind as peace and  truth arise to take the place of war and vain imaginings. There will
W1:136.18  corners sickness can conceal and keep defended from the light of  truth. There will be no dim figures from your dreams nor their
W1:136.22  for I mistook my body for myself. Sickness is a defense against the  truth, but I am not a body. And my mind cannot attack. So I cannot be
W1:137.4 Sickness would prove that lies must be the  truth. But healing demonstrates that truth is true. The separation
W1:137.4  prove that lies must be the truth. But healing demonstrates that  truth is true. The separation sickness would impose has never really
W1:137.4  To be healed is merely to accept what always was the simple  truth and always will remain exactly as it has forever been. Yet eyes
W1:137.4  that what they look upon is false. So healing, never needed by the  truth, must demonstrate that sickness is not real.
W1:137.5  counter-dream which cancels out the dream of sickness in the name of  truth but not in truth itself. Just as forgiveness overlooks all sins
W1:137.5  cancels out the dream of sickness in the name of truth but not in  truth itself. Just as forgiveness overlooks all sins that never were
W1:137.5  states and false ideas which dreams embroider into pictures of the  truth.
W1:137.7  replace the fantasies of sickness which you hold before the simple  truth. When sickness has been seen to disappear in spite of all the
W1:137.8  For it demonstrates that dreams will not prevail against the  truth. Healing is shared. And by this attribute, it proves that laws
W1:137.11  mind becomes a haven where the weary can remain to rest. For here is  truth bestowed, and here are all illusions brought to truth.
W1:137.11  For here is truth bestowed, and here are all illusions brought to  truth.
W1:137.12  cannot be to be, and this cannot succeed. Today we ask that only  truth will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing will this day
W1:138.2 It is this strange perception of the  truth that makes the choice of Heaven seem to be the same as the
W1:138.2  here unless it is reflected in some form the world can understand.  Truth cannot come where it could only be perceived with fear, for
W1:138.2  it could only be perceived with fear, for this would be the error  truth can be brought to illusions. Opposition makes the truth
W1:138.2  be the error truth can be brought to illusions. Opposition makes the  truth unwelcome, and it cannot come.
W1:138.4  that one is made, you will perceive it was no choice at all, for  truth is true and nothing else is real. There is no opposite to
W1:138.4  is no opposite to choose instead. There is no contradiction to the  truth.
W1:138.5 Choosing depends on learning. But the  truth cannot be learned but only recognized. In recognition its
W1:138.5  of your learning, for they rest on what you have accepted as the  truth of what you are and what your needs must be.
W1:138.6  different forms. Here is the final and the only choice in which is  truth accepted or denied.
W1:138.8  from salvation, threatened to be safe, and magically armored against  truth. And these decisions are made unaware to keep them safely
W1:138.9  which the mind had made before are open to correction as the  truth dismisses them as causeless. Now are they without effects. They
W1:138.11  what has existence and what has nothing but an appearance of the  truth. Its pseudo-being, brought to what is real, is flimsy and
W1:139.5  But you have split your mind into what knows and does not know the  truth. You are yourself. There is no doubt of this, and yet you doubt
W1:139.9  accept Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept the  truth about yourself and go your way rejoicing in the endless Love of
W1:139.12  and in our memory is the recall how dear our brothers are to us in  truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how faithful they have
W1:140.3  dreams another dream. His happy dreams are heralds of the dawn of  truth upon the mind. They lead from sleep to gentle waking, so that
W1:140.6  the need for healing is. This is no magic. It is merely an appeal to  truth which cannot fail to heal and heal forever. It is not a thought
W1:140.7  effect a change in anything. The mind that brings illusions to the  truth is really changed. There is no change but this. For how can one
W1:140.10  this can cure. Today we hear a single Voice which speaks to us of  truth where all illusions end, and peace returns to the eternal quiet
W1:R4.1  time aware we are preparing for the second part of learning how the  truth can be applied. Today we will begin to concentrate on readiness
W1:R4.4 This is a fact and represents the  truth of what you are and what your Father is. It is this thought by
W1:R4.6  you think with God. Your self-deceptions cannot take the place of  truth. No more than can a child who throws a stick into the ocean
W1:146.1 [131] No one can fail who asks to reach the  truth.
W1:148.2 [136] Sickness is a defense against the  truth.
W1:151.3  ears report. You think your fingers touch reality and close upon the  truth. This is awareness which you understand and think more real
W1:151.10  lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the  truth. He will remove all faith that you have placed in pain,
W1:151.11 He will select the elements in them that represent the  truth and disregard those aspects which reflect but idle dreams. And
W1:151.13  our thoughts, appealing silently to Him Who sees the elements of  truth in them. Let Him evaluate each thought that comes to mind,
W1:151.14  transformed, it takes on healing power from the Mind Which saw the  truth in it and failed to be deceived by what was falsely added. All
W1:151.17  begun at last, to carry round the world the joyous news that  truth has no illusions and the peace of God, through us, belongs to
W1:152.2  that this position is extreme and too inclusive to be true. Yet can  truth have exceptions? If you have the gift of everything, can loss
W1:152.2  and sickness enter in a mind where love and perfect holiness abide?  Truth must be all-inclusive if it be the truth at all. Accept no
W1:152.2  and perfect holiness abide? Truth must be all-inclusive if it be the  truth at all. Accept no opposite and no exceptions, for to do so is
W1:152.2  no opposite and no exceptions, for to do so is to contradict the  truth entirely.
W1:152.3 Salvation is the recognition that the  truth is true and nothing else is true. This you have heard before,
W1:152.3  has no meaning, but without the second is the first no longer true.  Truth cannot have an opposite. This cannot be too often said and
W1:152.3  if what is not true is true as well as what is true, then part of  truth is false, and truth has lost its meaning. Nothing but the truth
W1:152.3  is true as well as what is true, then part of truth is false, and  truth has lost its meaning. Nothing but the truth is true, and what
W1:152.3  of truth is false, and truth has lost its meaning. Nothing but the  truth is true, and what is false is false.
W1:152.4  of choices which do not appear to be entirely your own. And thus the  truth appears to have some aspects that belie consistency but do not
W1:152.5  and in all response. This is the all-inclusiveness which sets the  truth apart from falsehood, and the false kept separate from the
W1:152.5  the truth apart from falsehood, and the false kept separate from the  truth as what it is.
W1:152.7  that God made chaos, contradicts His Will, invented opposites to  truth, and suffers death to triumph over life—all this is
W1:152.9  ego seeks to prove it arrogant. Only the ego can be arrogant. But  truth is humble in acknowledging its mightiness, its changelessness,
W1:152.11  Now do we join in glad acknowledgment that lies are false and only  truth is true.
W1:152.12 We think of  truth alone as we arise and spend five minutes practicing its ways,
W1:152.15  will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the  truth of God for self-deceptions, and God's Son for your illusions of
W1:153.10  untouchable within its light. God's ministers have chosen that the  truth be with them. Who is holier than they? Who could be surer that
W1:153.13  upon this earth. And then we go to take our rightful place where  truth abides and games are meaningless.
W1:155.2  other choice is really theirs to make? To let illusion walk ahead of  truth is madness, but to let illusion sink behind the truth and let
W1:155.2  walk ahead of truth is madness, but to let illusion sink behind the  truth and let the truth stand forth as what it is, is simple sanity.
W1:155.2  is madness, but to let illusion sink behind the truth and let the  truth stand forth as what it is, is simple sanity.
W1:155.3  were mistaken in the choice. They cannot learn directly from the  truth because they have denied that it is so. And so they need a
W1:155.3  their madness, but who still can look beyond illusion to the simple  truth in them.
W1:155.4 If  truth demanded they give up the world, it would appear to them as if
W1:155.6  bring their eyes to look on and their minds to grasp. Now can the  truth, which walks ahead of you, speak to them through illusion, for
W1:155.7  and aims which will remain impossible. All this steps back as  truth comes forth in you to lead your brothers from the ways of death
W1:155.7  a guide to lead them out of it, for they mistake illusion for the  truth.
W1:155.8  is salvation's call, and nothing more. It asks that you accept the  truth, and let it go before you, lighting up the path of ransom from
W1:155.9  to you. And you may find that you are tempted still to walk ahead of  truth and let illusions be your guide. Your holy brothers have been
W1:155.9  in your footsteps as you walk with certainty of purpose to the  truth. It goes before you now, that they may see something with which
W1:155.10 Yet at the journey's ending there will be no gap, no distance between  truth and you. And all illusions walking in the way you traveled will
W1:155.10  will be gone from you as well, with nothing left to keep the  truth apart from God's completion, holy as Himself. Step back in
W1:155.10  from God's completion, holy as Himself. Step back in faith, and let  truth lead the way. You know not where you go, but One Who knows goes
W1:155.11  no journeys. There will be no wish to be illusion rather than the  truth. And we step forth toward this as we progress along the way
W1:155.11  And we step forth toward this as we progress along the way that  truth points out to us. This is our final journey, which we make for
W1:155.11  which we make for everyone. We must not lose our way. For as  truth goes before us, so it goes before our brothers who will follow
W1:155.12  less and still content the holy Son of God? We walk to God. The  truth that walks before us now is one with Him and leads us to where
W1:156.1 Today's idea but states the simple  truth that makes the thought of sin impossible. It promises there is
W1:156.2  not inconsistent in the thoughts that we present in our curriculum.  Truth must be true throughout if it be true. It cannot contradict
W1:157.8  the Giver of the happy dreams of life, Translator of perception into  truth, the holy Guide to Heaven given you has dreamed for you this
W1:159.10  to hope. Let us an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to  truth. His vision gives the means for a return to our unlost and
W1:160.2  is a stranger in our midst who comes from an idea so foreign to the  truth he speaks a different language, looks upon a world truth does
W1:160.2  to the truth he speaks a different language, looks upon a world  truth does not know, and understands what truth regards as senseless.

W2:237.1 Today I will accept the  truth about myself. I will arise in glory and allow the light in me
W2:239.1 Let not the  truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let us
W2:WIW.1  the world be seen in quite another light, and one which leads to  truth, where all the world must disappear and all its errors vanish.
W2:WIW.3  and make real. They see in its illusions but a solid base where  truth exists, upheld apart from lies. Yet everything that they report
W2:WIW.3  that they report is but illusion, which is kept apart from  truth.
W2:WIW.4 As sight was made to lead away from  truth, it can be redirected. Sounds become the call of God. And all
W2:243.2  am included. We are one because each part contains Your memory, and  truth must shine in all of us as one.
W2:244.2 And there we are in  truth. No storms can come into the hallowed haven of our home. In God
W2:247.1  comes to me. Let me accept what His sight shows me as the simple  truth and I am healed completely. Brother, come and let me look on
W2:248.1 I have disowned the  truth. Now let me be as faithful in disowning falsity. Whatever
W2:248.1  my mind. What dies was never living in reality and did but mock the  truth about myself. Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies
W2:WIS.1  the mind is driven mad and seeks to let illusions take the place of  truth. And being mad, it sees illusions where the truth should be and
W2:WIS.1  take the place of truth. And being mad, it sees illusions where the  truth should be and where it really is. Sin gave the body eyes, for
W2:WIS.1  to grasp? What would they sense at all? To sense is not to know. And  truth can be but filled with knowledge and with nothing else.
W2:WIS.2  the mind has taken as replacement for the goal of self-deception.  Truth can be its aim as well as lies. The senses then will seek
W2:251.1  My only need I did not recognize. But now I see that I need only  truth. In that, all needs are satisfied, all cravings end, all hopes

W2:269.1  to me and through His lessons to surpass perception and return to  truth. I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I made.
W2:270.1  Your Son acknowledges his Father, lets his dreams be brought to  truth, and waits expectantly the one remaining instant more of time,
W2:WIC.3  of your holy mind. This is the only part of you that has reality in  truth. The rest is dreams. Yet will these dreams be given unto Christ
W2:WIC.4  to all your dreams and bids them come to Him to be translated into  truth. He will exchange them for the final dream which God appointed
W2:271.1  the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the  truth for me. Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me
W2:272.1 Father, the  truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your will and mine.
W2:274.1  and his friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as well the  truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace all
W2:277.2  because he is his Father's Son. And he cannot be bound unless God's  Truth can lie and God can will that He deceive Himself.
W2:278.1  do not know my Father or my Self. And I am lost to all reality. For  truth is free, and what is bound is not a part of truth.
W2:278.1  all reality. For truth is free, and what is bound is not a part of  truth.
W2:278.2 Father, I ask for nothing but the  truth. I have had many foolish thoughts about myself and my creation
W2:278.2  I choose the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear. For  truth is safe and only love is sure.
W2:279.1  freedom if it be at all. Yet in reality his dreams are gone, with  truth established in their place. And now is freedom his already.
W2:280.1  I can invent imprisonment for him, but only in illusions, not in  truth. No Thought of God has left its Father's Mind. No Thought of
W2:WIHS.1 The Holy Spirit mediates between illusions and the  truth. As He must bridge the gap between reality and dreams,

W2:282.2  Your Name is Love, and so is mine. Such is the truth. And can the  truth be changed by merely giving it another name? The name of fear

W1:3.1  of the things you see may have emotionally-charged meaning for you.  Try to lay such feelings aside, and merely use these things exactly
W1:5.10 Then search your mind for no more than a minute or so, and  try to identify a number of different forms of upset that are
W1:10.6  thoughts which are available to you, without selection or judgment.  Try to avoid classification of any kind. In fact, if you find it
W1:12.2  are done with eyes open. Look around you, this time quite slowly.  Try to pace yourself so that the slow shifting of your glance from

W1:15.7  many things during the minute or so of practice that is recommended,  try to make the selection as random as possible. Less than a minute
W1:21.3  Try, therefore, not to let the “little” thoughts of anger escape you
W1:21.6  Try to be as specific as possible. You may, for example, focus your

W1:32.3  yourself. Then close your eyes and look around your inner world.  Try to treat them both as equally as possible. Repeat the idea for
W1:33.2  your eyes and survey your inner thoughts with equal casualness.  Try to remain equally uninvolved in both and to maintain this
W1:34.7  today's idea to help you change your mind in any specific context,  try to take several minutes and devote them to repeating the idea
W1:35.5  more self-inflating descriptive terms may well cross your mind.  Try to recognize that the direction of your fantasies about yourself
W1:36.2 Four three- to five-minute practice periods are required for today.  Try to distribute them fairly evenly, and make the shorter
W1:38.4  mind for any sense of loss or unhappiness of any kind as you see it.  Try to make as little distinction as possible between a situation
W1:40.1  this schedule and to adhere to it whenever possible. If you forget,  try again. If there are long interruptions, try again. Whenever you
W1:40.1  possible. If you forget, try again. If there are long interruptions,  try again. Whenever you remember, try again.
W1:40.1  If there are long interruptions, try again. Whenever you remember,  try again.
W1:41.5  today's idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything.  Try instead to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle
W1:41.5  a sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts of the world.  Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear of any
W1:41.6  you may repeat today's idea if you find it helpful. But most of all,  try to sink down and inward, away from the world and all the foolish
W1:42.4  close your eyes and repeat the idea again, quite slowly. After this,  try to think of nothing except thoughts which occur to you in
W1:42.8  for relevant thoughts is not appropriate for today's exercises.  Try merely to step back and let the thoughts come. If you find this
W1:43.11  think of anything, open your eyes, repeat the first phase, and then  try the second phase again. Do not allow any protracted period to

W1:43.18  Try today not to allow long periods of time to slip by without
W1:44.7  and close them slowly, repeating the idea several times more. Then  try to sink into your mind, letting go every kind of interference and
W1:44.7  you choose to stop it. It is merely taking its natural course.  Try to observe your passing thoughts without involvement and slip
W1:44.9  you will probably find it more reassuring to open your eyes briefly.  Try, however, to return to the exercises as soon as possible.
W1:44.10  that you are approaching if not actually entering into light.  Try to think of light, formless and without limit, as you pass by the
W1:45.5 Instead, we will  try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible. We
W1:45.5  that only what God would have us do is possible. We will also  try to understand that only what God would have us do is what we want
W1:45.5  what God would have us do is what we want to do. And we will also  try to remember that we cannot fail in doing what He would have us
W1:45.8 Then  try to go past all the unreal thoughts that cover the truth in your
W1:45.12 In using the shorter form for applying today's idea,  try to remember how important it is to you to understand the holiness
W1:47.4 Today we will  try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of real strength.
W1:47.6 Now  try to slip past all concerns related to your own sense of

W1:49.2  but without reality of any kind. Try today not to listen to it.  Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace
W1:49.2  with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever.  Try to hear God's Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your
W1:49.3  five-minute practice periods today and more if possible. We will  try actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your Self.
W1:R1.3  each idea literally or thoroughly in the practice periods. Rather,  try merely to emphasize the central point and think about it as part
W1:59.4  when I think I can see apart from Him. It is these I choose when I  try to see through the body's eyes. Yet the vision of Christ has been
W1:61.9  first of a number of giant steps we will take in the next few weeks.  Try today to begin to build a firm foundation for these advances.
W1:64.8 Let me not forget my function. Let me not  try to substitute mine for God's. Let me forgive and be happy.
W1:65.2  ten to 15 minutes for a more sustained practice period in which you  try to understand and accept what today's idea really means. It
W1:65.3  Try, if possible, to undertake the daily extended practice periods at
W1:65.3  extended practice periods at approximately the same time each day.  Try, also, to determine this time today in advance and then adhere to
W1:65.6  concentrate only on thoughts related to the idea for today. Rather,  try to uncover each thought that arises which would interfere with
W1:65.8 After a while, interfering thoughts will become harder to find.  Try, however, to continue a minute or so longer, attempting to catch
W1:65.10 You need not use these exact words, but  try to get a sense of being willing to have your illusions of purpose
W1:66.3 Today we will  try to go past this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the truth
W1:66.7  Try to see the logic in this sequence, even if you do not yet accept
W1:66.12  Holy Spirit's Voice. You will listen to madness or hear the truth.  Try to make this choice as you think about the premises on which our
W1:66.13  one side stand all illusions. All truth stands on the other. Let us  try today to realize that only the truth is true.
W1:67.5 After you have gone over several such related thoughts,  try to let all thoughts drop away for a brief preparatory interval,
W1:67.5  all thoughts drop away for a brief preparatory interval, and then  try to reach past all your images and preconceptions about yourself
W1:67.8  Try to realize in the shorter practice periods that this is not your
W1:68.5  go. That, however, is simply a question of motivation. Today we will  try to find out how you would feel without them. If you succeed even
W1:68.9  world which protects you and loves you and which you love in return.  Try to feel safety surrounding you, hovering over you, and holding
W1:68.9  feel safety surrounding you, hovering over you, and holding you up.  Try to believe, however briefly, that nothing can harm you in any
W1:69.4 Very quietly now, with your eyes closed,  try to let go of all the content which generally occupies your
W1:69.6  importance of what you are trying to do for yourself and the world,  try to settle down in perfect stillness, remembering only how much
W1:69.8  indeed be sure that it is given you, and you will yet receive it.  Try, as you attempt to go through the clouds to the light, to hold
W1:69.8  the clouds to the light, to hold this confidence in your mind.  Try to remember that you are at last joining your will to God's. Try
W1:69.8  Try to remember that you are at last joining your will to God's.  Try to keep the thought clearly in mind that what you undertake with
W1:70.12 Now we will  try again to reach the light in you, which is where your salvation
W1:70.13  when you could so easily walk on into the light of real salvation.  Try to pass the clouds by whatever means appeals to you. If it helps
W1:71.15  Try to remember the idea for today some six or seven times an hour.
W1:72.8  is the universal belief of the world you see. Some hate the body and  try to hurt and humiliate it. Others love the body and try to glorify
W1:72.8  the body and try to hurt and humiliate it. Others love the body and  try to glorify and exalt it. But while it stands at the center of
W1:72.9 We will  try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will try
W1:72.9  will try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will  try to welcome it instead. Your upside-down perception has been
W1:72.9  from your awareness by the body's limitations. Now we are going to  try to see this differently.
W1:72.11  therefore attacking what we do not recognize. Now we are going to  try to lay judgment aside and ask what God's plan for us is:
W1:73.4 Today we will  try once more to reach the world that is in accordance with your
W1:74.2  rise to illusions. Without illusions, conflict is impossible. Let us  try to recognize this today and experience the peace this recognition
W1:74.11 After you have cleared your mind in this way, close your eyes and  try to experience the peace to which your reality entitles you. Sink
W1:74.12  slipping off into withdrawal, quickly repeat the idea for today and  try again. Do this as often as necessary. There is definite gain in
W1:74.15 Then  try to find what you are seeking. A minute or two every half-hour,
W1:79.7  the answer to it. We will not assume that we already know. We will  try to free our minds of all the many different kinds of problems
W1:79.7  the many different kinds of problems that we think we have. We will  try to realize that we have only one problem, which we have failed to
W1:79.12 Then  try to suspend all judgment about what the problem is. If possible,
W1:R2.2  listen. Repeat the first phase if you find your mind wandering, but  try to spend the major part of the practice period listening quietly
W1:87.5  can become afraid only when I believe that there is another will. I  try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack
W1:87.5  another will. I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I  try to attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened.
W1:91.5  today, set aside about ten minutes for a quiet time in which you  try to leave your weakness behind. This is accomplished very simply,
W1:91.12 In the second phase of the exercise period,  try to experience these truths about yourself. Concentrate
W1:91.12  you are a body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith.  Try to remove your faith from it, if only for a moment. You will
W1:92.9  stands ready to embrace you as Its own. Such is the meeting place we  try today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your
W1:93.11  created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there.  Try to experience the unity of your One Self. Try to appreciate its
W1:93.11  other is not there. Try to experience the unity of your One Self.  Try to appreciate its holiness and the love from which it was
W1:93.11  to appreciate its holiness and the love from which it was created.  Try not to interfere with the Self which God created as you by hiding
W1:93.12  able to use the first five minutes of each hour for these exercises.  Try, however, to do so when you can. At least remember to repeat
W1:93.14 Then  try to devote at least a minute or so to closing your eyes and
W1:94.5 Now  try to reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self that never
W1:95.3  Self, which is united with its Creator. In patience and in hope we  try again today.
W1:95.8  a refusal to let your mistakes be corrected and an unwillingness to  try again.
W1:95.12  and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again and  try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only
W1:95.19  all the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will  try today. Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be vigilant. Do
W1:96.2  fact that truth and illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you  try, what means you use, and where you see the problem, must be
W1:97.3 Today we  try to bring reality still closer to your mind. Each time you
W1:99.9  yet work miracles, be sure you practice well the idea for today.  Try to perceive the strength in what you say, for these are words in
W1:100.9 Now let us  try to find that joy which proves to us and all the world God's Will
W1:101.4  way he can to drown the Voice Which offers it to him? Why would he  try to listen and accept Its offering? If sin is real, its offering
W1:102.2 Today we  try to loose its weakened hold still further. And to realize that
W1:103.3 This basic error we will  try again to bring to truth today and teach ourselves:
W1:105.1  Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we will  try to understand these gifts increase as we receive them. They are
W1:107.2  what a state of mind without illusions is? How it would feel?  Try to remember when there was a time—perhaps a minute, maybe even
W1:107.2  your peace; when you were certain you were loved and safe. Then  try to picture what it would be like to have that moment be extended
W1:110.8 Then, with this statement firmly in your mind,  try to discover in your mind the Self Who is the holy Son of God
W1:R3.8  minutes of your waking day to it. If this cannot be done, at least  try to divide them so you undertake one in the morning and the other
W1:R3.11  little time in silence and in peace. Then turn to other things, but  try to keep the thought with you and let it serve to help you keep
W1:R3.12  ways, all times and places, and whenever you need help of any kind.  Try, then, to take it with you in the business of the day and make it
W1:121.9  does not believe that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we will  try to learn today that they are one through practicing forgiving
W1:121.10  in you if you should meet him; one you actively despise or merely  try to overlook. It does not matter what the form your anger takes.
W1:121.11 Now close your eyes and see him in your mind and look at him a while.  Try to perceive some light in him somewhere—a little gleam which
W1:121.11  light in him somewhere—a little gleam which you had never noticed.  Try to find some little spark of brightness shining through the ugly
W1:121.11  at this picture till you see a light somewhere within it, and then  try to let this light extend until it covers him and makes the
W1:121.12  perception for a while, and turn your mind to one you call a friend.  Try to transfer the light you learned to see around your former
W1:126.8 Today we  try to understand the truth that giver and receiver are the same. You
W1:131.5  and reach it in the end. God's Son cannot seek vainly, though he  try to force delay, deceive himself, and think that it is hell he
W1:131.9  the Eternal Will has given him to be his home forever? Let us not  try longer to impose an alien will upon God's single purpose. He is
W1:131.15 Seek for that door and find it. But before you  try to open it, remind yourself no one can fail who asks to reach the
W1:133.2  not attempt to take from you the little that you have. It does not  try to substitute utopian ideas for satisfactions which the world
W1:135.28  Try not to shape this day as you believe would benefit you most. For
W1:140.7 Let us not  try today to seek to cure what cannot suffer sickness. Healing must
W1:140.8  seek a cure for all illusions, not another shift among them. We will  try today to find the source of healing, which is in our minds
W1:168.1  to Him? He is not distant. He makes no attempt to hide from us. We  try to hide from Him and suffer from deception. He remains entirely
W1:169.7 This is beyond experience we  try to hasten. Yet forgiveness, taught and learned, brings with it
W1:R5.15  that it is only here conviction lies. We use the words, and  try and try again to go beyond them to their meaning, which is far
W1:R5.15  that it is only here conviction lies. We use the words, and try and  try again to go beyond them to their meaning, which is far beyond
W1:182.2 No one but knows whereof we speak. Yet some  try to put by their suffering in games they play to occupy their time
W1:185.7  another dream be given us. They do not ask for compromise nor  try to make another bargain in the hope that there may yet be one
W1:187.4  this will change and grow unrecognizable in time, however much you  try to keep it safe. No form endures. It is the thought behind the
W1:193.14  to peace in just one day. Let mercy come to you more quickly. Do not  try to hold it off another day, another minute, or another instant.
W1:193.16  the lesson in forgiveness in the form established for the day. And  try to give it application to the happenings the hour brought, so
W1:195.1  they can do is see themselves as better off than others. And they  try to be content because another seems to suffer more than they. How
W1:195.3  Now is vengeance all there is to wish for. Now can you but  try to bring him down to lie in death with you, as useless as
W1:196.12  should, for it is your release. It is indeed but you your mind can  try to crucify. Yet your redemption, too, will come from you.
W2:242.1  lead my life alone today. I do not understand the world. And so to  try to lead my life alone must be but foolishness. For there is One
W2:246.1  I can find the way to God if I have hatred in my heart. Let me not  try to hurt God's Son and think that I can know his Father or my

W2:277.1  to rule the body. He is not subject to any laws I made by which I  try to make the body more secure. He is not changed by what is
W2:307.1  and only that. There is no other will for me to have. Let me not  try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain.

Tx:5.41  Spirit is the perfect teacher. He uses only what your minds already  understand to teach you that you do not understand it. The Holy
Tx:5.41  only what your minds already understand to teach you that you do not  understand it. The Holy Spirit can deal with an unwilling learner
Tx:5.43  but truth can still set you free. Look as the Holy Spirit looks, and  understand as He understands. His understanding looks back to God in
Tx:5.44  though it can grow towards it. It is possible, with great effort, to  understand someone else to some extent and to be quite helpful to
Tx:5.73  the chance to claim it for yourself be given you? What you do not  understand is that the two voices speak for different interpretations
Tx:6.5  lives, and if you will consider it without fear, it will help you  understand your own role as teachers.
Tx:6.22  remember that I told them myself that there was much they would  understand later because they were not wholly ready to follow me at
Tx:6.47  because you have the answer and the ego is afraid of you. You cannot  understand the conflict until you fully understand one basic fact
Tx:6.47  is afraid of you. You cannot understand the conflict until you fully  understand one basic fact that the ego does not know. The Holy Spirit
Tx:6.58  the difference between sleeping and waking, so that they will  understand they need not be afraid of dreams. Then when bad dreams
Tx:6.63  by now, but it has not yet become believable. Therefore, you do not  understand it and cannot use it.
Tx:6.71 What you must  understand is that when you do not share a thought system, you are
Tx:7.4  than loving. It is always willing to make a “deal,” but it cannot  understand that to be like another means that no deals are possible.
Tx:7.15  Holy Spirit is the translator of the laws of God to those who do not  understand them. You could not do this yourselves, because conflicted
Tx:7.17  consistent. You forget in order to remember better. You will not  understand His translations while you listen to two ways of
Tx:7.17  of perceiving them. Therefore, you must forget or relinquish one to  understand the other. This is the only way you can learn consistency
Tx:7.20  Given variable motivation, he will do something, but you cannot  understand what it is.
Tx:7.39  it does need clarification. The unhealed healer obviously does not  understand his own vocation.

Tx:7.49  other shows you only truth, which you will love, because you will  understand it. Understanding is appreciation, because what you
Tx:7.49  will understand it. Understanding is appreciation, because what you  understand you can identify with, and by making it part of you, you
Tx:7.50  in appreciation, and in love. The ego is totally unable to  understand this, because it does not understand what it makes; it
Tx:7.50  The ego is totally unable to understand this, because it does not  understand what it makes; it does not appreciate it; and it does not
Tx:7.55  because it believes that it can destroy love and therefore does not  understand what love is. If it does not understand what love is, it
Tx:7.55  love and therefore does not understand what love is. If it does not  understand what love is, it cannot perceive itself as loving. This
Tx:7.60  it is, and it is meaningless. The Holy Spirit does not want you to  understand conflict; He wants you to realize that, because conflict
Tx:7.64  of understanding, since they mean that you believe what you can  understand is up to you to decide. The ego believes this totally,
Tx:7.66  is—nothing. It has no meaning. It does not exist. Do not try to  understand it, because if you do, you are believing that it can be
Tx:7.80  out of the world's thinking, just as there was only one way into it.  Understand totally by understanding totality.
Tx:7.87  ego always makes, underlies its whole use of projection. It does not  understand what mind is and therefore does not understand what you
Tx:7.87  It does not understand what mind is and therefore does not  understand what you are. Yet its existence is dependent on your mind,
Tx:8.4  This is a condition which is so alien to the Kingdom that you cannot  understand the state which prevails within it. Your past learning
Tx:8.8  without knowing it. The ego is expert only in confusion. It does not  understand anything else. As a teacher, then, it is totally confused
Tx:8.22  could you make? Having made this choice, you will begin to learn and  understand why you have believed that when you met someone else, you
Tx:8.36  of God, Whose Will it is. You cannot be exempt from it if you are to  understand what it is and what you are. By separating your will from
Tx:8.47  to you so that you can extend yourself as He did. You do not  understand this, because you do not understand Him. No one who does
Tx:8.47  yourself as He did. You do not understand this, because you do not  understand Him. No one who does not know his function can understand
Tx:8.47  you do not understand Him. No one who does not know his function can  understand it, and no one can know his function unless he knows who

Tx:9.3  The ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not attempt to  understand anything that arises from it. Since He does not understand
Tx:9.3  to understand anything that arises from it. Since He does not  understand it, He does not judge it, knowing that nothing it
Tx:9.5  this becomes the one way in which you handle all errors, you cannot  understand how all errors are undone. How is this different from
Tx:9.26 Healing is not mysterious. Nothing will occur unless you  understand it, since light is understanding. A “miserable sinner”
Tx:9.29  minds to the Holy Spirit through Him and not yourself, you will  understand that you are not obeying the laws of this world, but that
Tx:9.41  how completely different these evaluations are, because you do not  understand how lofty the Holy Spirit's perception of you really is.
Tx:9.48  of the ego becomes perfectly apparent. Though it does not  understand this, the ego believes that its “enemy” has struck and
Tx:9.71  gift, because you have accepted something else in its place. If you  understand that the misuse of defenses always constitutes an attack
Tx:9.71  fearful. If you further recognize that you are part of God, you will  understand why it is that you always attack yourself first.
Tx:9.107  If you will accept only what is timeless as real, you will begin to  understand eternity and make it yours.
Tx:10.18  without meaning. And being without meaning to you, you will not  understand it. To deny meaning must be to fail to understand. You can
Tx:10.18  you, you will not understand it. To deny meaning must be to fail to  understand. You can heal only yourself, for only God's Son needs
Tx:10.18  for only God's Son needs healing. He needs it because he does not  understand himself and therefore knows not what he does. Having
Tx:10.30  for until you have accepted them, you cannot enter. For you cannot  understand Wholeness unless you are whole, and no part of the Son can
Tx:10.53  acceptance, for to analyze means to separate out. The attempt to  understand totality by breaking it up is clearly the
Tx:10.55 The ego makes no attempt to  understand this, and it is clearly not understandable, but the ego
Tx:10.75  as little children. Little children recognize that they do not  understand what they perceive, and so they ask what it means. Do not
Tx:10.75  ask what it means. Do not make the mistake of believing that you  understand what you perceive, for its meaning is lost to you. Yet the
Tx:10.76  guide at all. Instruction in perception is your great need, for you  understand nothing. Recognize this but do not accept it, for
Tx:10.80 You complain that this course is not sufficiently specific for you to  understand it and use it. Yet it has been very specific, and you have
Tx:10.82  Spirit is to ask for deprivation. Little Children of God, you do not  understand your Father. You believe in a world that takes, because
Tx:10.89  fear lies not in reality, but in the minds of children who do not  understand reality. It is only their lack of understanding which
Tx:10.89  One who knows it, and He will tell you what they are. For you do not  understand them, and because you are deceived by what you see, you
Tx:11.1  own right, and to believe in truth, you do not have to do anything.  Understand that you do not respond to stimuli, but to stimuli as you
Tx:11.2  represents a clear-cut attempt to demonstrate your own ability to  understand what you perceive. This is shown by the fact that you
Tx:11.5 It is surely good advice to tell you not to judge what you do not  understand. No one with a personal investment is a reliable witness,
Tx:11.17  of little children which terrify them because they do not  understand them. If they ask for enlightenment and accept it, their
Tx:11.28  For you will surely place yourself among the poor, who do not  understand that they dwell in abundance and that salvation is come.
Tx:11.48  is your handicap. Do not attempt to teach yourselves what you do not  understand, and do not try to set up curriculum goals where yours
Tx:11.51  the proper learning conditions, which you can neither provide nor  understand, you will become excellent learners and teachers. But it
Tx:11.63  do is clearly beyond all of them. Perceiving His results, you will  understand where He must be and finally know what He is.
Tx:11.87  the knowledge of the Father was lost, since only those who do not  understand Him could believe it.
Tx:11.94  in God's Son. And only as you look upon him as guiltless can you  understand his oneness. For the idea of guilt brings a belief in
Tx:11.96  time, proceeding from past to future. No one who believes this can  understand what always means. And therefore guilt must deprive you of
Tx:12.6  as the final guilt which fully justifies murder. You do not yet  understand that all your fear of this course stems ultimately from
Tx:12.44  Son, they have risen in Him to the Father. And all this will they  understand because they looked within and saw beyond the darkness the
Tx:12.66  your understanding only in the past. Yet here it is, and you can  understand it now. God loves His Son forever, and His Son returns his
Tx:13.22  not look within and let it go. They cannot know they love and cannot  understand what loving is. Their main concern is to perceive the
Tx:13.58  but only the simple truth. And you will love it because you will  understand it.
Tx:13.73  that increasing guilt is self-protection.] And they will fail to  understand the simple fact that what they do not want must hurt them.
Tx:13.74  provide that offers them anything of value. Yet because they do not  understand their will, the Holy Spirit quietly understands it for
Tx:13.76  relinquishing his own. You know not of salvation, for you do not  understand it. Make no decisions about what it is or where it lies,
Tx:13.89  this guilt by failing to fulfill your function here? You need not  understand creation to do what must be done before that knowledge
Tx:14.1  learn how impossible this is! Do not endow Him with attributes you  understand. You made Him not, and anything you understand is not of
Tx:14.1  with attributes you understand. You made Him not, and anything you  understand is not of Him.
Tx:14.2  God so little, hear me speak for Him and for yourselves. You cannot  understand how much your Father loves you, for there is no parallel
Tx:14.2  for there is no parallel in your experience of the world to help you  understand it. There is nothing on earth with which it can compare
Tx:14.7  to the denial of guilt in all its forms. To accuse is not to  understand. The happy learners of the Atonement become the teachers
Tx:14.16  of dark for light, of ignorance for understanding. Nothing you  understand is fearful. It is only in darkness and in ignorance that
Tx:14.16  for its hiddenness. The obscure is frightening because you do not  understand its meaning. If you did, it would be clear, and you would
Tx:14.21 You who speak in dark and devious symbols do not  understand the language you have made. It has no meaning, for its
Tx:14.43  what the mirror holds out for everyone to see no one can fail to  understand. It is the message that the Holy Spirit is holding to the
Tx:14.48  They can be simultaneous and legion. This is not difficult to  understand, once you conceive of them as possible at all. What is
Tx:14.53  must be. Otherwise, it will attack the form. You who believe you  understand something of the dynamics of the mind, let me assure you
Tx:14.56  the Holy Spirit translate His communications through you so you can  understand them. God has no secret communications, for everything of
Tx:14.60  no meaning at all. Nothing you have ever learned can help you  understand the present or teach you how to undo the past. Your past
Tx:14.60  is what you have taught yourselves. Let it all go. Do not attempt to  understand any event or anything or anyone in its light, for the
Tx:14.72  motivation for learning by thinking they already know. Think not you  understand anything until you pass the test of perfect peace, for
Tx:15.19  witness to Him will speak so clearly of Him that you will hear and  understand.
Tx:15.22 Be not content with littleness, but be sure you  understand what littleness is and why you could never be content with
Tx:15.30  it with little gifts, thus valuing it too little to be able to  understand its magnitude. Love is not little, and love dwells in you,
Tx:15.45  becomes impossible without the past, for without it you do not  understand anything. You would make no attempt to judge because it
Tx:15.47 You cannot love parts of reality and  understand what love means. If you would love unlike to God, Who
Tx:15.47  you would love unlike to God, Who knows no special love, how can you  understand it? To believe that special relationships, with special
Tx:15.54  it. Give to it any meaning apart from His, and it is impossible to  understand it. Every brother God loves as He loves you—neither less
Tx:15.63  would give yourself as your Father gives His Self, you will learn to  understand Selfhood. And therein is love's meaning understood. But
Tx:15.64  to do this, you will learn what you must be, for you will begin to  understand what your Creator is and what His creation is along with
Tx:15.78  of your wholeness, all are invited and made welcome. And you  understand that your completion is God's, Whose only need is to have
Tx:15.83 The Holy Spirit is God's attempt to free you of what He does not  understand. And because of the Source of the attempt, it will
Tx:15.83  you to respond as God does, for He would teach you what you do not  understand. God would respond to every need, whatever form it takes.
Tx:15.83  to receive His communication to you and yours to Him. God does not  understand your problem in communication, for He does not share it
Tx:15.84  alone lies the awareness of what God cannot know and what you do not  understand. It is His holy function to accept them both, and by
Tx:15.100  easy! Salvation is simple, being of God and therefore very easy to  understand. Do not try to project it from you and see it outside
Tx:15.107  see not the body as the necessary means of communication. And if you  understand this lesson, you will realize that to sacrifice the body
Tx:15.110  will be lacking, and you will make complete and not destroy. Say and  understand this:
Tx:16.1  not mean to join in suffering, for that is what you must refuse to  understand. That is the ego's interpretation of empathy and is always
Tx:16.1  let Him use it in His way. [His way is very different.] He does not  understand suffering and would have you teach it is not
Tx:16.5  completely. You will not know how to respond to what you do not  understand. Be tempted not in this, and yield not to the ego's
Tx:16.10  the extension of holiness, for the nature of miracles you do not  understand. Nor do you do them. It is their extension, far beyond the
Tx:16.10  you worry how the miracle extends to all the Sonship when you do not  understand the miracle itself? One attribute is no more difficult to
Tx:16.10  understand the miracle itself? One attribute is no more difficult to  understand than is the whole. If miracles are at all, their
Tx:16.11  away from the whole to what you think you might be better able to  understand. For this is but another way in which you would still try
Tx:16.11  and far more helpful way to think of miracles is this: You do not  understand them, either in part or whole. Yet you have done them.
Tx:16.11  necessary. Yet it is still impossible to accomplish what you do not  understand. And so there must be something in you that does
Tx:16.11  do not understand. And so there must be something in you that does  understand.
Tx:16.12  what is natural to them. And when you are told about it, you cannot  understand it. The recognition of the part as whole and of the whole
Tx:16.12  it involves a contradiction of what miracles mean. And if you could  understand their meaning, their attributes could hardly cause you
Tx:16.13  as He knows how, His natural perception of your gift enables Him to  understand it and you to use His understanding on your behalf. It is
Tx:16.13  through your willingness, as long as you believe that you must  understand it or else it is not real.
Tx:16.14  really believe that all that has happened, even though you do not  understand it, has not happened? Yet this is your position. You would
Tx:16.14  you. For this acknowledgment means that what has happened you do not  understand but that you are willing to accept it because it has
Tx:16.15  it? Honor the truth that has been given you, and be glad you do not  understand it. Miracles are natural to God and to the One Who speaks
Tx:16.42  you in your creation. On this side of the bridge to timelessness you  understand nothing. But as you step lightly across it, upheld by
Tx:16.59  defined it by His Will. It is impossible to define it otherwise and  understand it.
Tx:16.66  keep part of the thought system which taught you it was real and  understand the Thought that really knows what you are. You have
Tx:17.14  will hear them. And you who kept them by your own selection do not  understand how they came into your minds and what their purpose is.
Tx:17.29  Who was God's answer to the separation. For although the ego did not  understand what had been created, it was aware of threat.
Tx:17.50 Accept with gladness what you do not  understand, and let it be explained to you as you perceive its
Tx:18.27  holiness of your relationship is established in Heaven. You do not  understand what you accepted, but remember that your understanding is
Tx:18.27  is not necessary. All that was necessary was merely the wish to  understand. That wish was the desire to be holy. The Will of God is
Tx:18.32  He joins with you to make the holy instant far greater than you can  understand. It is your realization that you need do so little that
Tx:18.39  truth and makes it what it is. Yet we have emphasized that you need  understand nothing. Salvation is easy just because it asks nothing
Tx:18.44  of means and purpose is an undertaking impossible for you to  understand. You do not even realize you have accepted the Holy
Tx:20.16  true. Who need adjust to truth, which calls on only what he is, to  understand?
Tx:20.25  in joy the instant they are made free. It takes a while for them to  understand what freedom is. You groped but feebly in the dust and
Tx:20.47  never make return. They can be loved, but cannot love. They do not  understand what they are offered, and any relationship in which they
Tx:21.6  lessons dear and cling to them because they cannot see. They do not  understand the lessons keep them blind. This they do not believe. And
Tx:21.25  effects without a cause and to confuse the two is merely to fail to  understand them both.
Tx:21.51  one It makes. Miracles seem unnatural to the ego because it does not  understand how separate minds can influence each other. Nor could
Tx:21.52  capable of reason. How can the segment of the mind devoid of reason  understand what reason is or grasp the information it would give? All
Tx:21.62  And if you would defend the body against your reason, you will not  understand the body or yourself.
Tx:21.65  whole salvation seen as complete with yours. Reason is given you to  understand that this is so. For reason, kind as is the purpose for
Tx:21.68  for completing Him. And here alone does reason tell you that you can  understand what you must be. Your Father is as close to you as is
Tx:21.74  to perceive a world where it is not. It is not necessary that he  understand how he can see it. Nor should he try. For if he focuses on
Tx:21.74  can see it. Nor should he try. For if he focuses on what he cannot  understand, he will but emphasize his helplessness and let sin tell
Tx:21.86  could even imagine what it must be, you would desire it although you  understand it not.
Tx:22.1  each one seems to make a different error, and one the other cannot  understand. Brothers, it is the same, made by the same, and forgiven
Tx:22.6  The brain cannot interpret what your vision sees. This you would  understand. The brain interprets to the body, of which it is a part.
Tx:22.6  to the body, of which it is a part. But what it says, you cannot  understand. Yet you have listened to it. And long and hard you tried
Tx:22.6  Yet you have listened to it. And long and hard you tried to  understand its messages. You did not realize it is impossible to
Tx:22.6  to understand its messages. You did not realize it is impossible to  understand what fails entirely to reach you.
Tx:22.7 You have received no messages at all you  understand. For you have listened to what can never communicate at
Tx:22.7  not true. Reason would tell you it cannot be true because you do not  understand it. God has no secrets. He does not lead you through a
Tx:22.9 Your sight was given you, along with everything that you can  understand. You will perceive no difficulty in understanding what
Tx:22.9  what he thinks he is. And what your sight would show you, you will  understand because it is the truth. Only your vision can convey to
Tx:22.9  Nor will it ever be made understandable by an interpreter you cannot  understand.
Tx:22.10 Of all the messages you have received and failed to  understand, this course alone is open to your understanding and can
Tx:22.10  and can be understood. This is your language. You do not  understand it yet, only because your whole communication is like a
Tx:22.10  nor sights he sees are stable yet. But what he hears and does not  understand will be his native tongue, through which he will
Tx:22.11  returned to you, and he will speak the language both of you can  understand. He is not nurtured by the “something else” you thought
Tx:22.12  you, my holy brothers. This child will teach you what you do not  understand and make it plain. For his will be no alien tongue. He
Tx:22.63  be true is whether you are different. From the position of what you  understand, you seem to be and therefore can attack. Of the

Tx:23.21  they are all the same and equally untrue, it would be easy, then, to  understand that miracles apply to all of them. Errors of any kind can
Tx:23.44  little. Nor is it possible to attack for this and love for that and  understand forgiveness. Would you not want to recognize assault upon
Tx:23.50  you have the power to extend to all. Yet does the Holy Spirit  understand how to increase your little gifts and make them mighty.
Tx:24.12  pure and unsullied by comparison with what you see. Nor do you  understand it is yourself that you diminish thus.
Tx:24.18  different messages and has one meaning. And it is one you both can  understand, and one which brings release to both of you. Here stands
Tx:24.60  it is this one you find more difficult. The “sacrifice” of self you  understand, nor do you deem this cost too heavy. But a tiny
Tx:24.61  it easier to see your brother's body than his holiness, be sure you  understand what made this judgment. Here is the voice of specialness
Tx:25.8  been given you to join the truth may reach to you through what you  understand. Father and Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your
Tx:25.10  be its Teacher. Yet must It use the language which this mind can  understand in the condition in which it thinks it is. And It must use
Tx:25.18  yours, and you will see the masterpiece. Look at its loveliness, and  understand the Mind that thought it, not in flesh and bones, but in a
Tx:25.19 Within the darkness, see the savior from the dark and  understand your brother as his Father's Mind shows him to you. He
Tx:25.21  not to you. For what you give is His, and giving it you learn to  understand His gift to you. And give the Holy Spirit what He offers
Tx:25.42  what the Will of God must be for you. In your forgiveness will you  understand His love for you; through your attack believe He hates
Tx:25.49  in the plan to save the Son of God from all attack and let him  understand that he is safe, as he has always been and will remain in
Tx:25.55 Test everything that you believe against this one requirement. And  understand that everything that meets this one demand is worthy of
Tx:25.58  sees within the world offer him less and less— until he comes to  understand it cost him his sanity and stands between him and whatever
Tx:25.60  at all. You who believe that God is mad, look carefully at this and  understand that it must be that either God or this must be insane,
Tx:25.67  It is extremely hard for those who still believe sin meaningful to  understand the Holy Spirit's justice.
Tx:25.68  to themselves and to their world than vengeance, which they  understand and love.
Tx:25.70  and have denied themselves because they are not fair and cannot  understand that they are innocent. Love is not understandable to
Tx:25.75 You can be perfect witness to the power of love and justice if you  understand it is impossible the Son of God could merit vengeance. You
Tx:25.76  because you are a miserable sinner too. How can the special really  understand that justice is the same for everyone? To take from one to
Tx:26.10 It is not difficult to  understand the reasons why you do not ask the Holy Spirit to solve
Tx:26.30 A little hindrance can seem large indeed to those who do not  understand that miracles are all the same. Yet teaching that is what
Tx:26.74  you seek to be content with sighing and with “reasoning” you do not  understand it now but will some day. And then its meaning will be
Tx:27.27  you can rest assured that He will not fulfill a function He cannot  understand and recognize as His. For only thus can He keep yours
Tx:27.29  the idea a something it is not and make it unintelligible. Who can  understand a double concept, such as “weakened-power” or as
Tx:27.53  yourself. Its total value need not be appraised by you to let you  understand that you have benefited from it. What occurred within the
Tx:27.82  and real effects. Together, we can laugh them both away and  understand that time cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a joke to
Tx:27.87  single cause of all of them, no matter what their form. And you will  understand that miracles reflect the simple statement,
Tx:28.7  of hate appear, remember that their cause is gone. And so you cannot  understand what they are for. Let not the cause that you would give
Tx:28.10 You who have sought to lay a judgment on your own Creator cannot  understand it is not He Who laid a judgment on His Son. You would

Tx:28.53 You who believe there is a little gap between you, do not  understand that it is here that you are kept as prisoners in a world
Tx:28.54  in the dust. It does not tell you what its purpose is and cannot  understand what it is for. It does not victimize because it has no
Tx:29.10  Heaven and in God? Until you realize you give up nothing, until you  understand there is no loss, you will have some regrets about the way
Tx:29.20  those who think that God is lessened by their strength could fail to  understand this must be so. For who could give unless he has, and who

Tx:29.35  light the touch of evil on it may appear to be. For you would  understand how great the cost of holding anything God did not give in
Tx:29.45  each will fail him, all excepting one; for he will die and does not  understand the idol that he seeks is but his death. Its form appears

Tx:31.2  you believe that what is totally confused is easier to learn and  understand. What you have taught yourselves is such a giant learning
Tx:31.8  in the selfsame tongue in which the call was made. And you will  understand it was this call that everyone and everything within the

Tx:31.36  look for hope where there is none. Make fast your learning now, and  understand you but waste time unless you go beyond what you have
Tx:31.39  will not advance the purpose to be found. If this be difficult to  understand, then is this course impossible to learn. But only then.
Tx:31.64  be your choice. For you can see the body without help but do not  understand how to behold a world apart from it. It is your world

W1:I.3  is to train the mind to generalize the lessons, so that you will  understand that each of them is as applicable to one situation as it
W1:3.2  as they appear to you now, and to realize how little you really  understand about them. It is therefore essential that you keep a

W1:12.5  terms occur to you, use them along with the rest. You may not yet  understand why these “nice” adjectives belong in these exercises, but
W1:14.2  you find them comfortable. If you do, it will be because you really  understand what they are for.

W1:16.3  unreal. We will practice this idea in many forms before you really  understand it.
W1:19.2  thoughts. Despite your initial resistance to this idea, you will yet  understand that it must be true if salvation is possible at all. And
W1:25.4  purpose cannot be understood at these levels. For example, you do  understand that a telephone is for the purpose of talking to someone
W1:25.4  who is not physically in your immediate vicinity. What you do not  understand is what you want to reach him for. And it is this that
W1:26.4 Practice with today's idea will help you to  understand that vulnerability or invulnerability is the result of

W1:41.4 We  understand that you do not believe all this. How could you, when the
W1:45.5  that only what God would have us do is possible. We will also try to  understand that only what God would have us do is what we want to do.
W1:45.12  applying today's idea, try to remember how important it is to you to  understand the holiness of the mind that thinks with God. Take a

W1:51.4  What I see is the projection of my own errors of thought. I do not  understand what I see because it is not understandable. There is no
W1:51.4  see because it is not understandable. There is no sense in trying to  understand it. But there is every reason to let it go and make room
W1:52.4  on the past to prevent the present from dawning on my mind. Let me  understand that I am trying to use time against God. Let me learn to
W1:55.2  Son. The very fact that I see such things is proof that I do not  understand God. Therefore I also do not understand His Son. What I

W1:57.5  of God instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey. I will  understand that peace, not war, abides in it. And I will perceive
W1:57.6  holy. As I share the peace of the world with my brothers, I begin to  understand that this peace comes from deep within myself. The world I

W1:62.3  call upon the strength of Christ in you. Do you not then begin to  understand what forgiveness will do for you? It will remove all sense
W1:65.2  15 minutes for a more sustained practice period in which you try to  understand and accept what today's idea really means. It offers you
W1:72.11  replace attack with acceptance. As long as we attack it, we cannot  understand what God's plan for us is. We are therefore attacking what
W1:72.12 What is salvation, Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may  understand.
W1:72.16 What is salvation, Father? I do not know. Tell me, that I may  understand.
W1:74.3  these thoughts several times, slowly and with firm determination to  understand what they mean and to hold them in mind:
W1:75.9 Realize that your forgiveness entitles you to vision.  Understand that the Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight
W1:76.1  with laws as senseless as itself. You are not bound by them. Yet to  understand that this is so, you must first realize salvation lies not
W1:76.5  a mask the mind holds up to hide what really suffers. It would not  understand it is its own enemy, that it attacks itself and wants to
W1:79.6  constancy in all the problems which confront you, you would  understand that you have the means to solve them all. And you would
W1:81.5  not depend on my recognizing what my function is, for I do not yet  understand forgiveness. Yet I will trust that in the light I will see
W1:90.2  is always some form of grievance which I would cherish. Let me also  understand that the solution is always a miracle with which I let the
W1:90.5  The Holy Spirit will teach me this if I will let Him. And I will  understand it is impossible that I could have a problem which has not
W1:95.2  It does not see the oneness in you, for it is blind. It does not  understand you are the Son of God, for it is senseless and
W1:95.20  forget your goal. Repeat today's idea as frequently as possible and  understand each time you do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the
W1:97.5 Give Him the minutes which He needs today to help you  understand with Him you are the Spirit that abides in Him, and Which
W1:98.11 Give Him the words, and He will do the rest. He will enable you to  understand your special function. He will open up the way to

W1:105.1  we will accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we will try to  understand these gifts increase as we receive them. They are not like
W1:105.6  yours. Let Him complete Himself as He defines completion. You will  understand that what completes Him must complete His Son as well. He
W1:106.8 Today we practice giving, not the way you  understand it now, but as it is. Each hour's exercises should begin
W1:106.10  thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the world becomes ready to  understand and to receive.

W1:R3.1  which you are urged to follow just as closely as you can. We  understand, of course, that it may be impossible for you to undertake
W1:123.8 Receive His thanks, and you will  understand how lovingly He holds you in His Mind, how deep and
W1:124.11 Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you will look into this glass and  understand the sinless light you see belongs to you, the loveliness

W1:126.6 You do not  understand forgiveness. As you see it, it is but a check upon overt
W1:126.8 Today we try to  understand the truth that giver and receiver are the same. You will
W1:126.9 Give 15 minutes twice today to the attempt to  understand today's idea. It is the thought by which forgiveness takes
W1:126.10 In silence close your eyes upon the world which does not  understand forgiveness and seek sanctuary in the quiet place where
W1:126.10  to hear the Voice of truth and healing speak to you, and you will  understand the words He speaks and recognize He speaks your words to
W1:127.2  is withheld from others. To believe these things of love is not to  understand it. If it could make such distinctions it would have to
W1:127.7 Let us together, then, be glad to give some time to God today and  understand there is no better use for time than this. For 15 minutes
W1:127.8  means. He will shine through your idle thoughts today and help you  understand the truth of love. In loving gentleness, He will abide
W1:129.10  eyes cannot behold. And yet your mind can see it plainly and can  understand. A day of grace is given you today, and we give thanks.
W1:129.11 Now do we  understand there is no loss, for we have seen its opposite at last,
W1:131.16  and you are standing in a light so bright and clear that you can  understand all things you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps,
W1:132.6  is often stated in the text and must be borne in mind if you would  understand the lesson for today. It is not pride which tells you that
W1:132.8  readiness will bring the lesson to them in some form which they can  understand and recognize. Some see it suddenly on point of death and
W1:132.19  But you will sense your own release, although you may not fully  understand as yet that you could never be released alone.

W1:159.2 You  understand that you are healed when you give healing. You accept

W1:166.13  give to all who chose the lonely road you have escaped. They do not  understand they but pursue their wishes. It is you who teach them
W1:167.11  what we think today. And in His thoughts, which have no opposite, we  understand there is one life and that we share with Him, with all
W1:169.9 There is no need to further clarify what no one in the world can  understand. When revelation of your oneness comes, it will be known

W1:194.4  temporal progression still seems real. And so you are not asked to  understand the lack of sequence really found in time. You are but

W1:196.2 Perhaps at first you will not  understand how mercy, limitless and with all things held in its sure

Tx:4.101  is not enough because it is communication from God. It is not enough  until it is shared. God does not need revelation returned to Him,

Tx:15.1  all your learning. He has not fulfilled His teaching function  until you have become such a consistent learner that you learn only
Tx:15.8  its teaching, is nothing but a teaching device for compounding guilt  until it becomes all-encompassing and demands vengeance forever.

Tx:25.41  as you see him, so do you define the function he will have for you  until you see him differently and let him be what God appointed that
Tx:25.46  he alone can fill—a part for only him. Nor is the plan complete  until he finds his special function and fulfills the part assigned to
Tx:25.58  and all the sin he sees within the world offer him less and less—  until he comes to understand it cost him his sanity and stands

Tx:26.17 God cannot be remembered  until justice is loved instead of feared. He cannot be unjust to

Tx:26.63  that you may be released. Each instant is the Son of God reborn,  until he chooses not to die again. In every wish to hurt, he chooses
Tx:26.74  This is not reason, for it is unjust and clearly hints at punishment  until the time of liberation is at hand. Given a change of purpose
Tx:26.76  which would maintain effects of present cause must be delayed  until a future time is merely a denial of the fact that consequence
Tx:27.22  role, you lose the function of forgiveness. No one can forgive  until he learns correction is but to forgive and never to accuse.
Tx:27.26  To this remaining half the Holy Spirit must represent the other half  until you recognize it is the other half. And this He does by giving
Tx:27.33  It lets the Holy Spirit make exchange of pictures possible  until the time when aids are meaningless and learning done. No
Tx:27.87 The Holy Spirit will repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance  until it has been learned, regardless of the form of suffering that

Tx:26.58  Or is it a mistake about your will and what you really are? Let  us consider what the error is, so it can be corrected, not protected.
Tx:26.66  your brother finds the peace in which your wishes are fulfilled. Let  us unite in bringing blessing to the world of sin and death. For what
Tx:26.66  to the world of sin and death. For what can save each one of  us can save us all. There is no difference among the Sons of God. The
Tx:26.66  world of sin and death. For what can save each one of us can save  us all. There is no difference among the Sons of God. The unity that
Tx:27.81  let no dream appear to be the cause of what it is you do? Then let  us merely look upon the dream's beginning, for the part you see is
Tx:27.82  And we will see the grounds for laughter, not a cause for fear. Let  us return the dream he gave away unto the dreamer who perceives the
Tx:29.37  and betterment, for here is not where changelessness is found. Let  us be glad indeed that this is so and seek not the eternal in this
Tx:29.48  His place. Look not to idols. Do not seek outside yourself. Let  us forget the purpose of the world the past has given it. For
Tx:30.28  you have need for practicing the rules for its undoing. Let  us, then, consider once again the very first of the decisions which
Tx:30.88  use of symbols are we joined so that they mean the same to all of  us. Our common language lets us speak to all our brothers and to
Tx:30.88  so that they mean the same to all of us. Our common language lets  us speak to all our brothers and to understand with them forgiveness
Tx:30.88  brothers and to understand with them forgiveness has been given to  us all, and thus we can communicate again.
Tx:31.12 Let  us be still an instant and forget all things we ever learned, all
Tx:31.12  which we hold of what things mean and what their purpose is. Let  us remember not our own ideas of what the world is for. We do not
Tx:31.14 Let  us review again what seems to stand between you and the truth of what
Tx:31.20 Then let  us wait an instant and be still, forgetting everything we thought we
Tx:31.20  how much we do not know. This brother neither leads nor follows  us but walks beside us on the selfsame road. He is like us, as near
Tx:31.20  not know. This brother neither leads nor follows us but walks beside  us on the selfsame road. He is like us, as near or far away from what
Tx:31.20  nor follows us but walks beside us on the selfsame road. He is like  us, as near or far away from what we want as we will let him be. We
Tx:31.20  want as we will let him be. We make no gains he does not make with  us, and we fall back if he does not advance. Take not his hand in
Tx:31.31 Let  us be glad that you will see what you believe, and that it has been
Tx:31.51  a re-translation of what seems to be the evidence on its behalf. Let  us consider then what proof there is that you are what your brother
Tx:31.52  it? And who is deceived by all your goodness and attacks it so? Let  us forget the concept's foolishness and merely think of this—there
Tx:31.94 Let  us be glad that we can walk the world and find so many chances to

Tx:31.97  that lives and moves in You. For we have reached where all of  us are One, and we are home, where You would have us be.
Tx:31.97  where all of us are One, and we are home, where You would have  us be.
W1:30.2  trying to join with what we see, rather than keeping it apart from  us. That is the fundamental difference between vision and the way you
W1:45.4  in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts of the world hold  us back, and we will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that
W1:45.4  hold us back, and we will not let the beliefs of the world tell  us that what God would have us do is impossible.
W1:45.4  not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would have  us do is impossible.
W1:45.5 Instead, we will try to recognize that only what God would have  us do is possible. We will also try to understand that only what God
W1:45.5  We will also try to understand that only what God would have  us do is what we want to do. And we will also try to remember that we
W1:45.5  also try to remember that we cannot fail in doing what He would have  us do. There is every reason to feel confident that you will succeed
W1:57.1 Today let  us review these ideas:
W1:62.4 Let  us be glad to begin and end this day by practicing today's idea and
W1:64.5  function, you are really choosing whether to be happy or not. Let  us remember this today. Let us remind ourselves of it in the morning
W1:64.5  choosing whether to be happy or not. Let us remember this today. Let  us remind ourselves of it in the morning and again at night and all
W1:64.7 Today, then, let  us practice with these thoughts:
W1:66.7  first two thoughts are wrong that the conclusion could be false. Let  us, then, think about the premises for a while, as we are practicing.
W1:66.12  in this conclusion, but in no other. For God Himself shares it with  us.
W1:66.13  On one side stand all illusions. All truth stands on the other. Let  us try today to realize that only the truth is true.
W1:69.2 Today let  us make another real attempt to reach the light in you. Before we
W1:69.2  Before we undertake this in our more extended practice period, let  us devote several minutes in thinking about what we are trying to do.
W1:69.3 Let  us begin our longer practice period today with the full realization
W1:69.3  of all this and real determination to reach what is dearer to  us than all else. Salvation is our only need. There is no other
W1:69.3  other function to fulfill. Learning salvation is our only goal. Let  us end the ancient search today by finding the light in us and
W1:69.3  goal. Let us end the ancient search today by finding the light in  us and holding it up for everyone who searches with us to look upon
W1:69.3  the light in us and holding it up for everyone who searches with  us to look upon and rejoice.
W1:70.6 God wants  us to be healed, and we do not really want to be sick, because it
W1:70.6  to be healed, and we do not really want to be sick, because it makes  us unhappy. Therefore, in accepting the idea for today, we are in
W1:70.6  the idea for today, we are in agreement with God. He does not want  us to be sick. Neither do we. He wants us to be healed. So do we.
W1:70.6  with God. He does not want us to be sick. Neither do we. He wants  us to be healed. So do we.
W1:71.8 Let  us practice recognizing this certainty today. And let us rejoice that
W1:71.8 Let us practice recognizing this certainty today. And let  us rejoice that there is an answer to what seems to be a conflict
W1:71.10 Remembering this, let  us devote the remainder of the extended practice periods to asking
W1:71.10  of the extended practice periods to asking God to reveal His plan to  us. Ask Him very specifically:
W1:72.3  holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for salvation. But let  us consider the kinds of things which you are apt to hold grievances
W1:72.3  says something we do not like; he does something that displeases  us, he “betrays” his hostile thoughts in his behavior.
W1:72.7  the ego comes to save you. God made you a body. Very well. Let  us accept this and be glad. As a body, do not let yourself be
W1:72.10 The light of truth is in  us, where it was placed by God. It is the body that is outside us and
W1:72.10  is in us, where it was placed by God. It is the body that is outside  us and is not our concern. To be without a body is to be in our
W1:72.10  is to be in our natural state. To recognize the light of truth in  us is to recognize ourselves as we are. To see our Self as separate
W1:72.11  aware that God's plan for salvation has already been accomplished in  us. To achieve this goal, we must replace attack with acceptance. As
W1:72.11  As long as we attack it, we cannot understand what God's plan for  us is. We are therefore attacking what we do not recognize. Now we
W1:72.11  are going to try to lay judgment aside and ask what God's plan for  us is:
W1:73.9  remember what it is your will to remember. No idle wishes can detain  us nor deceive us with an illusion of strength. Today let your will
W1:73.9  is your will to remember. No idle wishes can detain us nor deceive  us with an illusion of strength. Today let your will be done. And end
W1:74.2  rise to illusions. Without illusions, conflict is impossible. Let  us try to recognize this today and experience the peace this
W1:75.3  remain to darken our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers  us. Today we will accept the new world as what we want to see. We
W1:75.4  will be devoted to looking at the world which our forgiveness shows  us. This is what we want to see, and only this. Our single purpose
W1:75.4  purpose makes our goal inevitable. Today the real world rises before  us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is given us, now that the
W1:75.4  rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is given  us, now that the light has come.
W1:76.7  which we would hide. We realize instead it is a truth which keeps  us free forever. Magic imprisons, but the laws of God set free. The
W1:76.12 Let  us today open God's channels to Him and let His Will extend through
W1:76.12  us today open God's channels to Him and let His Will extend through  us to Him. Thus is creation endlessly increased. His Voice will speak
W1:76.12  is creation endlessly increased. His Voice will speak of this to  us, as well as of the joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless
W1:77.3  you and can never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to  us in truth. Today, however, we will also make sure that we will not
W1:78.6  already. He will be the one of whom we ask God's Son be shown to  us. Through seeing him behind the grievances that we have held
W1:78.8 Then let  us ask of Him Who knows this Son of God in his reality and truth that
W1:78.8  see our savior shining in the light of true forgiveness given unto  us. We ask Him in the holy Name of God and of His Son, as holy as
W1:78.12  will remember this throughout the day and take the role assigned to  us as part of God's salvation plan, and not our own. Temptation falls
W1:78.12  own. Temptation falls away when we allow each one we meet to save  us and refuse to hide his light behind our grievances. To everyone
W1:80.8 Let  us be determined not to collect grievances today. Let us be
W1:80.8 Let us be determined not to collect grievances today. Let  us be determined to be free of problems that do not exist. The means
W1:83.1 Today let  us review these ideas:
W1:92.10 Let  us give 20 minutes twice today to join this meeting. Let yourself be
W1:92.10  in the light, closing the body's eyes and asking truth to show  us how to find the meeting place of self and Self, where light and
W1:92.11  for the time at night when we will meet again in hope and trust. Let  us repeat as often as we can the idea for today and recognize that we
W1:95.9  He can be held back only by your unwillingness to let them go. Let  us therefore be determined, particularly for the next week or so, to
W1:95.10 This tolerance for weakness will enable  us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay our learning.
W1:95.21  Self. I honor you because of what I am, and what He is, Who loves  us both as one.
W1:98.1  not. In gladness we accept it as it is and take the part assigned to  us by God.
W1:98.4 They will be with  us—all who took the stand we take today will gladly offer us all
W1:98.4  be with us—all who took the stand we take today will gladly offer  us all that they learned and every gain they made. Those still
W1:98.4  and every gain they made. Those still uncertain too will join with  us and, borrowing our certainty, will make it stronger still. While
W1:100.7  in our five minute practice periods by feeling happiness arise in  us according to our Father's Will and ours.
W1:100.9 Now let  us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the world God's
W1:100.9 Now let us try to find that joy which proves to  us and all the world God's Will for us. It is your function that you
W1:100.9  to find that joy which proves to us and all the world God's Will for  us. It is your function that you find it here and that you find it
W1:104.3 These are the gifts which are within  us now, for they are timeless. And we need not wait to have them.
W1:104.3  they are timeless. And we need not wait to have them. They belong to  us today. Therefore we will to have them now and know in choosing
W1:104.6  that which is truly ours, as we ask to recognize what God has given  us.
W1:104.7  and joy are welcome and to which we come to find what has been given  us by Him. We come in confidence today, aware that what belongs to us
W1:104.7  us by Him. We come in confidence today, aware that what belongs to  us in truth is what He gives. And we would wish for nothing else, for
W1:104.7  And we would wish for nothing else, for nothing else belongs to  us in truth.
W1:104.8  that His Will is done already and that joy and peace belong to  us as His eternal gifts. We will not let ourselves lose sight of them
W1:105.1  and joy are yours. Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to  us. And we will try to understand these gifts increase as we receive
W1:107.8  not ask for what we do not have. We merely ask for what belongs to  us, that we may recognize it as our own.
W1:108.7  to offer peace to everyone and see how quickly peace returns to  us. Light is tranquility, and in that peace is vision given us and we
W1:108.7  to us. Light is tranquility, and in that peace is vision given  us and we can see.
W1:110.11  day with thankful hearts and loving thoughts for all who meet with  us today, for it is thus that we remember Him. And we will say, that
W1:110.11  we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self, the Christ in each of  us:
W1:110.13 Let  us declare this truth as often as we can. This is the Word of God
W1:122.6  There is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son of God. Let  us today rejoice that this is so, for here we have an answer, clear
W1:122.12  light, and we receive the gifts which have been held in store for  us since time began, kept waiting for today. Forgiveness offers
W1:123.1 Today let  us be thankful. We have come to gentler pathways and to smoother
W1:123.4  and walk with lightened footsteps as we go to do what is appointed  us to do. We do not go alone. And we give thanks that in our solitude
W1:123.4  in our solitude a Friend has come to speak the saving Word of God to  us.
W1:124.1  protection guaranteed in all we do, power and strength available to  us in all our undertakings. We can fail in nothing. Everything we
W1:124.1  rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere with  us.
W1:124.2  as we walk the world a little while. And those who come to follow  us will recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind,
W1:124.2  way because the light we carry stays behind, yet still remains with  us as we walk on.
W1:124.3  those who follow after and to those who went before or stayed with  us a while. And God, Who loves us with the equal love in which we
W1:124.3  those who went before or stayed with us a while. And God, Who loves  us with the equal love in which we were created, smiles on us and
W1:124.3  Who loves us with the equal love in which we were created, smiles on  us and offers us the happiness we gave. Today we will not doubt His
W1:124.3  the equal love in which we were created, smiles on us and offers  us the happiness we gave. Today we will not doubt His Love for us nor
W1:124.3  us the happiness we gave. Today we will not doubt His Love for  us nor question His protection and His care.
W1:124.7  as we deny our separation from our Father, it is healed along with  us.
W1:126.2 Let  us consider what you do believe in place of this idea. It seems to
W1:127.7 Let  us together, then, be glad to give some time to God today and
W1:127.9  salvation disappears before the timelessness of what you learn. Let  us give thanks today that we are spared a future like the past. Today
W1:127.9  we are spared a future like the past. Today we leave the past behind  us, never more to be remembered. And we raise our eyes upon a
W1:127.10  in hate to be love's enemy. Now are they all made free along with  us. Now are they all our brothers in God's Love.
W1:127.11  remember them throughout the day because we cannot leave a part of  us outside our love if we would know our Self. At least three times
W1:130.7  make a thousand meaningless distinctions, nor attempt to bring with  us a little part of unreality as we devote our minds to finding only
W1:131.9  lose what the Eternal Will has given him to be his home forever? Let  us not try longer to impose an alien will upon God's single purpose.
W1:132.15  there—no more than we. For we are in the home our Father set for  us along with them. And we who are as He created us would loose the
W1:132.15  our Father set for us along with them. And we who are as He created  us would loose the world this day from every one of our illusions
W1:134.1 Let  us review the meaning of “forgive,” for it is apt to be distorted and
W1:134.14  lightening up the way for all our brothers, who will follow  us to the reality we share with them.
W1:134.15 That this may be accomplished, let  us give a quarter of an hour twice today and spend it with the Guide
W1:134.15  the Guide Who understands the meaning of forgiveness and was sent to  us to teach it. Let us ask of Him:
W1:134.15  the meaning of forgiveness and was sent to us to teach it. Let  us ask of Him:
W1:135.5 Let  us consider first what you defend. It must be something that is very
W1:135.22  with present confidence, for this is part of what was planned for  us. We will be sure that everything we need is given us for our
W1:135.22  was planned for us. We will be sure that everything we need is given  us for our accomplishment of this today. We make no plans for how it
W1:136.15  we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth to come to  us and set us free.
W1:136.15  a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth to come to us and set  us free.
W1:136.16 And truth will come, for it has never been apart from  us. It merely waits for just this invitation which we give today. We
W1:136.16  which we give today. We introduce it with a healing prayer to help  us rise above defensiveness and let truth be as it has always been:
W1:138.7 So we begin today considering the choice that time was made to help  us make. Such is its holy purpose, now transformed from the intent
W1:139.1  For here we come to a decision to accept ourselves as God created  us. And what is choice except uncertainty of what we are? There is no
W1:139.8  this a question or a statement which denies itself in statement? Let  us not allow our holy minds to occupy themselves with senseless
W1:139.8  did not come to reinforce the madness which we once believed in. Let  us not forget the goal that we accepted. It is more than just our
W1:139.8  we accept as what we are proclaims what everyone must be along with  us.
W1:139.12 We have not lost the knowledge that God gave to  us when He created us like Him. We can remember it for everyone, for
W1:139.12 We have not lost the knowledge that God gave to us when He created  us like Him. We can remember it for everyone, for in creation are all
W1:139.12  as one and in our memory is the recall how dear our brothers are to  us in truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how faithful they
W1:139.12  recall how dear our brothers are to us in truth, how much a part of  us is every mind, how faithful they have really been to us, and how
W1:139.12  a part of us is every mind, how faithful they have really been to  us, and how our Father's Love contains us all.
W1:139.12  they have really been to us, and how our Father's Love contains  us all.
W1:139.13  today each hour, as we lay aside all thoughts that would distract  us from our holy aim. For several minutes let your mind be cleared of
W1:140.7 Let  us not try today to seek to cure what cannot suffer sickness. Healing
W1:140.8  which is in our minds because our Father placed it there for  us. It is not further from us than ourselves. It is as near to us as
W1:140.8  because our Father placed it there for us. It is not further from  us than ourselves. It is as near to us as our own thoughts—so close
W1:140.8  for us. It is not further from us than ourselves. It is as near to  us as our own thoughts—so close it is impossible to lose. We need
W1:140.9 We will not be misled today by what appears to  us as sick. We go beyond appearances today and reach the source of
W1:140.10  but this can cure. Today we hear a single Voice which speaks to  us of truth where all illusions end, and peace returns to the eternal
W1:140.11 We waken hearing Him and let Him speak to  us five minutes as the day begins and end the day by listening again
W1:140.11  and thus delay the time when we can hear our Father speak to  us. We hear Him now. We come to Him today.
W1:140.13 Only salvation can be said to cure. Speak to  us, Father, that we may be healed.
W1:140.14 And we will feel salvation cover  us with soft protection and with peace so deep that no illusion can
W1:140.14  so deep that no illusion can disturb our minds nor offer proof to  us that it is real. This will we learn today. And we will say our
W1:140.14  minute as the hour strikes to hear the answer to our prayer be given  us as we attend in silence and in joy. This is the day when healing
W1:140.14  attend in silence and in joy. This is the day when healing comes to  us. This is the day when separation ends and we remember Who we
W1:R4.5 Let  us begin our preparation with some understanding of the many forms in
W1:R4.6  the lessons that we read and see the meaning which they offer  us.
W1:R4.11  let them be the messages they are. We need no more than this to give  us happiness and rest and endless quiet, perfect certainty, and all
W1:R4.12  that made the day a special time of blessing and of happiness for  us and through our faithfulness restored the world from darkness to
W1:151.16  in gladness and in gratitude to Him Who has restored our sanity to  us.
W1:151.17  salvation and deliverance. As we give thanks the world unites with  us and happily accepts our holy thoughts which Heaven has corrected
W1:151.17  news that truth has no illusions and the peace of God, through  us, belongs to everyone.
W1:152.8 Let  us today be truly humble and accept what we have made as what it is.
W1:152.10  we lift our hearts in true humility instead to Him Who has created  us immaculate, like to Himself in power and in love. The power of
W1:152.14  self-deceptions as we humbly ask our Self that He reveal Himself to  us. And He Who never left will come again to our awareness, grateful
W1:153.8  not exchange for foolishness the endless joy our function offers  us. We would not let our happiness slip by because a senseless
W1:153.15  better; 15 better still. And as distraction ceases to arise to turn  us from our purpose, we will find that half an hour is too short a
W1:153.16  will forget. At other times the business of the world will close on  us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little while and turn our
W1:153.17  and wait on Him and listen to His Voice and learn what He would have  us do the hour that is yet to come, while thanking Him for all the
W1:153.17  that is yet to come, while thanking Him for all the gifts He gave  us in the one gone by.
W1:153.19  our weakness disappear as we remember that His strength abides in  us. We will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the
W1:153.19  abides in us. We will remind ourselves that He remains beside  us through the day and never leaves our weakness unsupported by His
W1:153.20  our certainty of purpose. We will pause a moment as He tells  us, “I am here.” Your practicing will now begin to take the
W1:154.1 Let  us today be neither arrogant nor falsely humble. We have gone beyond
W1:154.1  our part to judge our worth, nor can we know what role is best for  us; what we can do within a larger plan we cannot see in its
W1:154.10  We will not seek to keep our minds apart from Him Who speaks for  us, for it is but our voice we hear as we attend Him. He alone can
W1:154.10  it is but our voice we hear as we attend Him. He alone can speak to  us and for us, joining in One Voice the getting and the giving of
W1:154.10  our voice we hear as we attend Him. He alone can speak to us and for  us, joining in One Voice the getting and the giving of God's Word,
W1:154.11  giving Him what He would have that we may recognize His gifts to  us. He needs our voice that He may speak through us. He needs our
W1:154.11  His gifts to us. He needs our voice that He may speak through  us. He needs our hands to hold His messages and carry them to those
W1:154.11  and carry them to those whom He appoints. He needs our feet to bring  us where He wills, that those who wait in misery may be at last
W1:154.12 Let  us but learn this lesson for today: we will not recognize what we
W1:154.15  and realize these holy words are true. They are the message sent to  us today from our Creator. Now we demonstrate how they have changed
W1:155.11  toward this as we progress along the way that truth points out to  us. This is our final journey, which we make for everyone. We must
W1:155.11  for everyone. We must not lose our way. For as truth goes before  us, so it goes before our brothers who will follow us.
W1:155.11  truth goes before us, so it goes before our brothers who will follow  us.
W1:155.12  the holy Son of God? We walk to God. The truth that walks before  us now is one with Him and leads us to where He has always been. What
W1:155.12  to God. The truth that walks before us now is one with Him and leads  us to where He has always been. What way but this could be a path
W1:157.2  that sheds a light on all that we have learned already and prepares  us for what we have yet to learn. It brings us to the door where
W1:157.2  already and prepares us for what we have yet to learn. It brings  us to the door where learning ceases, and we catch a glimpse of what
W1:157.2  what lies past the highest reaches it can possibly attain. It leaves  us there an instant and we go beyond it, sure of our direction and
W1:158.3  journey that is over. Yet it seems to have a future still unknown to  us.
W1:159.10  can be made from death to life, from hopelessness to hope. Let  us an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His
W1:159.10  to hope. Let us an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens  us to truth. His vision gives the means for a return to our unlost
W1:161.3  the one we gave to them. Yet He can use but what we made to teach  us from a different point of view, so we can see a different use in
W1:161.5 It seems to be the body that we feel limits our freedom, makes  us suffer, and at last puts out our life. Yet bodies are but symbols
W1:163.8  therefore be illusion. This the stand we take today. And it is given  us to look past death and see the life beyond.
W1:163.9  for death is not Your Will. And we abide where You have placed  us, in the Life we share with You and with all living things, to be
W1:164.7 We will not judge today. We will receive but what is given  us from judgment made beyond the world. Our practicing today becomes
W1:164.8  the world as we behold it in the light in which our Savior looks on  us and offer it the freedom given us through His forgiving vision,
W1:164.8  light in which our Savior looks on us and offer it the freedom given  us through His forgiving vision, now our own. Open the curtain in
W1:165.7  certainty of Him. We count on God and not upon ourselves to give  us certainty. And in His Name we practice as His Word directs we do.
W1:167.10 Let  us today be children of the truth and not deny our holy heritage. Our
W1:167.12  because we have one Source, a Source from Which perfection comes to  us, remaining always in the holy minds which He created perfect. As
W1:168.1 God speaks to  us. Shall we not speak to Him? He is not distant. He makes no attempt
W1:168.1  speak to Him? He is not distant. He makes no attempt to hide from  us. We try to hide from Him and suffer from deception. He remains
W1:168.3  waiting to be acknowledged. This the gift by which God leans to  us and lifts us up, taking salvation's final step Himself. All steps
W1:168.3  to be acknowledged. This the gift by which God leans to us and lifts  us up, taking salvation's final step Himself. All steps but this we
W1:168.3  instructed by His Voice. But finally He comes Himself and takes  us in His arms and sweeps away the cobwebs of our sleep. His gift of
W1:168.5 It is a new and holy day today, for we receive what has been given  us. Our faith lies in the Giver, not our own acceptance. We
W1:168.5  error is unknown is yet the One Who answers our mistakes by giving  us the means to lay them down and rise to Him in gratitude and love.
W1:168.6 And He descends to meet  us as we come to Him, for what He has prepared for us He gives and we
W1:168.6  descends to meet us as we come to Him, for what He has prepared for  us He gives and we receive. Such is His Will because He loves His
W1:168.6  His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but the words He gave to  us through His Own Voice, His Word, His Love:
W1:169.13  can give. For this we can give in the grace that has been given  us.
W1:170.10 Yet do not think that fear is the escape from fear. Let  us remember what the course has stressed about the obstacles to
W1:170.14 Father, we are like You. No cruelty abides in  us for there is none in You. Your peace is ours. And we bless the
W1:170.14  and make our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with  us. We bring them Your salvation as we have received it now. And we
W1:170.14  as we have received it now. And we give thanks for them who render  us complete. In them we see Your glory, and in them we find our
W1:170.14  in them we find our peace. Holy are we because Your holiness has set  us free. And we give thanks. Amen.
W1:R5.1  surely. Our footsteps have not been unwavering, and doubts have made  us walk uncertainly and slowly on the road this course sets forth.
W1:R5.2  let our doubts be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to  us. We have no words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word
W1:R5.3  do we bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise  us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We
W1:R5.3  sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to call  us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly
W1:R5.3  certainly and quickly unto You. And we accept the Word You offer  us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have
W1:R5.3  unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts that You have given  us.
W1:R5.7 And it is This that waits to meet  us at the journey's ending. Every step we take brings us a little
W1:R5.7  waits to meet us at the journey's ending. Every step we take brings  us a little nearer. This review will shorten time immeasurably if we
W1:R5.7  and as we practice, it is This to which we are approaching. Let  us raise our hearts from dust to life as we remember This is promised
W1:R5.7  raise our hearts from dust to life as we remember This is promised  us, and that this course was sent to open up the path of light to us,
W1:R5.7  us, and that this course was sent to open up the path of light to  us, and teach us, step by step, how to return to the eternal Self we
W1:R5.7  this course was sent to open up the path of light to us, and teach  us, step by step, how to return to the eternal Self we thought we
W1:R5.10  as I am made whole, we go together to our ancient home, prepared for  us before time was and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe,
W1:181.3  future goals, and what we saw an instant previous has no concern for  us within this interval of time wherein we practice changing our
W1:181.5  look to past beliefs, and what we will believe will not intrude upon  us now. We enter in the time of practicing with one intent—to look
W1:181.5  anger blocks our way in any form. And if a brother's sins occur to  us, our narrowed focus will restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon
W1:181.8 And we will also use these thoughts to keep  us safe throughout the day. We do not seek for long range goals. As
W1:181.9  are the eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the love He feels for  us becomes our own as well. This will become the only thing we see
W1:183.12  would experience this peace today. And in His Name it shall be given  us.
W1:184.14  And through Its use, all foolish separations disappear which kept  us blind. And we are given strength to see beyond them. Now our sight
W1:184.15  Name is our salvation and escape from what we made. Your Name unites  us in the Oneness which is our inheritance and peace. Amen.
W1:185.7 Let  us today devote our practicing to recognizing that we really mean the
W1:185.7  is no idle wish. These words do not request another dream be given  us. They do not ask for compromise nor try to make another bargain in
W1:185.14  which still remains as God created it. With help like this beside  us, can we fail today as we request the peace of God be given us?
W1:185.14  beside us, can we fail today as we request the peace of God be given  us?
W1:186.2 Let  us not fight our function. We did not establish it. It is not our
W1:186.2  We did not establish it. It is not our idea. The means are given  us by which it will be perfectly accomplished. All that we are asked
W1:186.2  deny with self-deceiving arrogance that we are worthy. What is given  us to do we have the strength to do. Our minds are suited perfectly
W1:186.2  to do. Our minds are suited perfectly to take the part assigned to  us by One Who knows us well.
W1:186.2  suited perfectly to take the part assigned to us by One Who knows  us well.
W1:186.4  we lay aside today that we may listen to God's Voice reveal to  us what He would have us do. We do not doubt our adequacy for the
W1:186.4  that we may listen to God's Voice reveal to us what He would have  us do. We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He will offer
W1:186.4  us do. We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He will offer  us. We will be certain only that He knows our strengths, our wisdom,
W1:186.4  knows our strengths, our wisdom, and our holiness. And if He deems  us worthy, so we are. It is but arrogance that judges otherwise.
W1:186.8 And so we find our peace. We will accept the function God has given  us, for all illusions rest upon the weird belief that we can make
W1:186.8  as we experience a thousand shifts in mood, and our emotions raise  us high indeed or dash us to the ground in hopelessness.
W1:186.8  shifts in mood, and our emotions raise us high indeed or dash  us to the ground in hopelessness.
W1:187.10  one brother who is part of our One Self Whose innocence has joined  us all as one, we stand in blessedness and give as we receive. The
W1:187.11  it to everything we see. For where we see it, it will be returned to  us in form of lilies we can lay upon our altar, making it a home for
W1:187.11  upon our altar, making it a home for Innocence Itself, Who dwells in  us and offers us His holiness as ours.
W1:187.11  making it a home for Innocence Itself, Who dwells in us and offers  us His holiness as ours.
W1:188.8 We practice coming nearer to the light in  us today. We take our wandering thoughts and gently bring them back
W1:188.8  to come home. We have betrayed them, ordering that they depart from  us. But now we call them back and wash them clean of strange desires
W1:188.9  with them, and we acknowledge that the peace of God still shines in  us and from us to all living things that share our life. We will
W1:188.9  and we acknowledge that the peace of God still shines in us and from  us to all living things that share our life. We will forgive them
W1:188.9  them all, absolving all the world of what we thought it did to  us. For it is we who make the world as we would have it. Now we
W1:189.6 Today we pass illusions as we seek to reach to what is true in  us and feel Its all-embracing tenderness, Its Love Which knows us
W1:189.6  in us and feel Its all-embracing tenderness, Its Love Which knows  us perfect as Itself, Its sight which is the gift Its Love bestows on
W1:189.6  perfect as Itself, Its sight which is the gift Its Love bestows on  us. We learn the way today. It is as sure as Love Itself, to Which it
W1:189.6  the way today. It is as sure as Love Itself, to Which it carries  us. For its simplicity avoids the snares the foolish convolutions of
W1:189.10  not know the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered  us. We will not interfere. Salvation's ways are not our own, for they
W1:189.10  apart from You and cherish no beliefs of what we are or who created  us. Yours is the way that we would find and follow. And we ask but
W1:189.10  And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as well, be done in  us and in the world, that it becomes a part of Heaven now. Amen.
W1:193.15  too long, and we would linger here no more. And as we practice, let  us think about all things we saved to settle by ourselves and kept
W1:193.15  we saved to settle by ourselves and kept apart from healing. Let  us give them all to Him Who knows the way to look upon them so that
W1:193.15  message; truth His teaching is. His are the lessons God would have  us learn.
W1:194.9  in God's hands we rest untroubled, sure that only good can come to  us. If we forget, we will be gently reassured. If we accept an
W1:194.9  we will appeal to Him Who guards our rest to make the choice for  us that leaves temptation far behind. No longer is the world our
W1:195.4  if it is joined to love. We offer thanks to God our Father that in  us all things will find their freedom. It will never be that some are
W1:195.5  the way of hatred and the path of death. All these go with you. Let  us not compare ourselves with them, for thus we split them off in our
W1:195.5  awareness from the unity we share with them, as they must share with  us.
W1:195.6  thanks for nothing and we fail to recognize the gifts of God to  us.
W1:195.7  them to the peace that we would find, the way is opening at last to  us. An ancient door is swinging free again; a long forgotten Word
W1:195.9  therefore to our bitterness and to a self-perception which regards  us in a place of merciless pursuit where we are badgered ceaselessly
W1:195.9  badgered ceaselessly and pushed about without a thought or care for  us or for our future. Gratitude becomes the single thought we
W1:195.9  we substitute for these insane perceptions. God has cared for  us and calls us Son. Can there be more than this?
W1:195.9  for these insane perceptions. God has cared for us and calls  us Son. Can there be more than this?
W1:196.4 Today's idea is one step we take in leading  us from bondage to the state of perfect freedom. Let us take this
W1:196.4  take in leading us from bondage to the state of perfect freedom. Let  us take this step today that we may quickly go the way salvation
W1:196.4  take this step today that we may quickly go the way salvation shows  us, taking every step in its appointed sequence as the mind
W1:198.15  glad that we have come this far and recognize that He Who brought  us here will not forsake us now. For He would give to us the gift
W1:198.15  this far and recognize that He Who brought us here will not forsake  us now. For He would give to us the gift that God has given us
W1:198.15  He Who brought us here will not forsake us now. For He would give to  us the gift that God has given us through Him today. Now is it time
W1:198.15  forsake us now. For He would give to us the gift that God has given  us through Him today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The time
W1:200.9 Let  us not lose our way again today. We go to Heaven, and the path is
W1:200.11  of God is ours, and only this will we accept and want. Peace be to  us today. For we have found a simple, happy way to leave the world of
W1:R6.2  we carefully review the thoughts the Holy Spirit has bestowed on  us in our last 20 lessons. Each contains the whole curriculum if
W1:R6.6  that we thought we knew and understood. For thus is freedom given  us from all we did not know and failed to understand.
W1:R6.11  to be available to you each time you call to Him to help you. Let  us offer Him the whole review we now begin, and let us also not
W1:R6.11  to help you. Let us offer Him the whole review we now begin, and let  us also not forget to Whom it has been given as we practice day by
W1:R6.11  as we practice day by day, advancing toward the goal He set for  us, allowing Him to teach us how to go, and trusting Him completely
W1:R6.11  day, advancing toward the goal He set for us, allowing Him to teach  us how to go, and trusting Him completely for the way each practice
W2:I.2  spending time with Him each morning and at night, as long as makes  us happy. We will not consider time a matter of duration now. We use
W2:I.4  Word upon our minds and hearts. And wait for Him to take the step to  us that He has told us, through His Voice, He would not fail to take
W2:I.4  and hearts. And wait for Him to take the step to us that He has told  us, through His Voice, He would not fail to take when we invited Him.
W2:I.4  not His faithfulness earned Him the invitation that He seeks to make  us happy? We will offer it, and it will be accepted. So our times
W2:I.4  that His Voice suggests, and then we wait for Him to come to  us.
W2:I.6  we give these holy times to You in gratitude to Him Who taught  us how to leave the world of sorrow in exchange for its replacement
W2:I.6  to leave the world of sorrow in exchange for its replacement given  us by You. We look not backward now. We look ahead and fix our eyes
W2:I.6  upon the journey's end. Accept these little gifts of thanks from  us, as through Christ's vision we behold a world beyond the one we
W2:I.7  We have sought to find our way by following the Guide You sent to  us. We did not know the way, but You did not forget us. And we know
W2:I.7  You sent to us. We did not know the way, but You did not forget  us. And we know that You will not forget us now. We ask but that Your
W2:I.7  way, but You did not forget us. And we know that You will not forget  us now. We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept which are Your
W2:I.8  and God, Who is its one Creator. We have found the way He chose for  us and made the choice to follow it as He would have us go. His hand
W2:I.8  He chose for us and made the choice to follow it as He would have  us go. His hand has held us up. His thoughts have lit the darkness of
W2:I.8  the choice to follow it as He would have us go. His hand has held  us up. His thoughts have lit the darkness of our minds. His Love has
W2:I.8  thoughts have lit the darkness of our minds. His Love has called to  us unceasingly since time began.
W2:I.9  more, and we who are God's Sons are safely home, where He would have  us be.
W2:I.10  the way it started. Now it is complete. This year has brought  us to eternity.
W2:221.2  let our thoughts be still and find His peace, to hear Him speak to  us of what we are, and to reveal Himself unto His Son.
W2:223.2 Our Father, let  us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are
W2:WS.4 Let  us come daily to this holy place and spend a while together. Here we
W2:WS.4  which there is no sorrow, for it holds a hint of all the glory given  us by God. The grass is pushing through the soil, the trees are
W2:231.2  Him is Heaven. This we seek. And only this is what it will be given  us to find.
W2:233.2 Today we have one Guide to lead  us on. And as we walk together, we will give this day to Him with no
W2:233.2  is His day. And so it is a day of countless gifts and mercies unto  us.
W2:234.2  our safety and give thanks for all the gifts You have bestowed on  us, for all the loving help we have received, for Your eternal
W2:234.2  for Your eternal patience, and the Word which You have given  us that we are saved.
W2:238.2 And so again today we pause to think how much our Father loves  us. And how dear His Son, created by His Love, remains to Him Whose
W2:239.1  the truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. Let  us instead be thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. Can we see
W2:239.1  humility. Let us instead be thankful for the gifts our Father gave  us. Can we see in those with whom He shares His glory any trace of
W2:239.2 We thank You, Father, for the light that shines forever in  us. And we honor it because You share it with us. We are one, united
W2:239.2  that shines forever in us. And we honor it because You share it with  us. We are one, united in this light, and one with You, at peace with
W2:240.1  may appear. It witnesses but to your own illusions of yourself. Let  us not be deceived today. We are the Son of God. There is no fear in
W2:240.1  us not be deceived today. We are the Son of God. There is no fear in  us, for we are each a part of Love Itself.
W2:240.2 How foolish are our fears! Would You allow Your Son to suffer? Give  us faith today to recognize Your Son and set him free. Let us forgive
W2:240.2  Give us faith today to recognize Your Son and set him free. Let  us forgive him in Your Name, that we may understand his holiness and
W2:WIW.5 Let  us not rest content until the world has joined our changed
W2:WIW.5  rest content until the world has joined our changed perception. Let  us not be satisfied until forgiveness has been made complete. And let
W2:WIW.5  not be satisfied until forgiveness has been made complete. And let  us not attempt to change our function. We must save the world. For we
W2:241.2  Heaven and his home. How glad are we to have our sanity restored to  us, and to remember that we all are one.
W2:242.2  minds. We do not ask for anything that we may think we want. Give  us what You would have received by us. You know all our desires and
W2:242.2  that we may think we want. Give us what You would have received by  us. You know all our desires and our needs. And You will give us
W2:242.2  by us. You know all our desires and our needs. And You will give  us everything we want and that will help us find the way to You.
W2:242.2  needs. And You will give us everything we want and that will help  us find the way to You.
W2:243.1  do I free myself and what I look upon, to be in peace as God created  us.
W2:243.2  each part contains Your memory, and truth must shine in all of  us as one.
W2:245.2  received. And thus we come to hear the Voice of God, Who speaks to  us as we relate His Word, Whose Love we recognize because we share
W2:245.2  Love we recognize because we share the Word that He has given unto  us.
W2:249.2  violence and death. Now would we rest again in You, as You created  us.
W2:254.2  now. And in the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to  us and tells us of our will, as we have chosen to remember Him.
W2:254.2  in the stillness, hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells  us of our will, as we have chosen to remember Him.
W2:256.2  hear Your Voice and find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to  us.
W2:257.1  Nor can he function without deep distress and great depression. Let  us therefore be determined to remember what we want today that we may
W2:257.1  and actions meaningfully and achieve only what God would have  us do today.
W2:257.2 Father, forgiveness is Your chosen means for our salvation. Let  us not forget that we can have no will but Yours today. And thus our
W2:257.2  must be Yours as well if we would reach the peace You will for  us.
W2:259.1  that makes the goal of God seem unobtainable. What else could blind  us to the obvious and make the strange and the distorted seem more
W2:263.2 And while we still remain outside the gate of Heaven, let  us look on all we see through holy vision and the eyes of Christ. Let
W2:263.2  holy vision and the eyes of Christ. Let all appearances seem pure to  us that we may pass them by in innocence and walk together to our
W2:264.2  prayer. Must we not join in what will save the world along with  us?
W2:266.2  upon God's name and on our own, acknowledging our Self in each of  us, united in the holy Love of God. How many saviors God has given
W2:266.2  us, united in the holy Love of God. How many saviors God has given  us! How can we lose the way to Him, when He has filled the world with
W2:266.2  when He has filled the world with those who point to Him and given  us the sight to look on them?
W2:WIC.1  is God's Son as He created Him. He is the Self we share, uniting  us with one another and with God as well. He is the Thought Which
W2:WIC.5  the goal of the Atonement has been reached at last? So therefore let  us seek to find Christ's face and look on nothing else. As we behold
W2:272.2 Today we pass illusions by. And if we hear temptation call to  us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn aside and ask ourselves if
W2:273.1  how such a day can be achieved. If we give way to a disturbance, let  us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell our
W2:274.2 A special blessing comes to  us today from Him Who is our Father. Give this day to Him and there
W2:275.1 Let  us today attend the Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no
W2:275.1  learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the Voice of God tells  us of things we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart. It is in
W2:276.1  Son did not create with Him because in this His Son was born. Let  us accept His Fatherhood, and all is given us. Deny we were created
W2:276.1  His Son was born. Let us accept His Fatherhood, and all is given  us. Deny we were created in His Love, and we deny our Self, to be
W2:276.1  come. And yet we need but to acknowledge Him Who gave His Word to  us in our creation, to remember Him and so recall our Self.
W2:277.2 Let  us not worship idols nor believe in any laws idolatry would make to
W2:283.2  God our Father as our only Source and everything created part of  us. And so we offer blessing to all things, uniting lovingly with all
W2:283.2  lovingly with all the world, which our forgiveness has made one with  us.
W2:286.2 The stillness of today will give  us hope that we have found the way and traveled far along it to a
W2:286.2  goal. Today we will not doubt the end which God Himself has promised  us. We trust in Him and in our Self, Who still is one with Him.
W2:WIRW.5  of God. And as we look upon a world forgiven, it is He Who calls to  us and comes to take us home, reminding us of our Identity which our
W2:WIRW.5  upon a world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us and comes to take  us home, reminding us of our Identity which our forgiveness has
W2:WIRW.5  it is He Who calls to us and comes to take us home, reminding  us of our Identity which our forgiveness has restored to us.
W2:WIRW.5  reminding us of our Identity which our forgiveness has restored to  us.
W2:291.1  What loveliness we look upon today! What holiness we see surrounding  us! And it is given us to recognize it is a holiness in which we
W2:291.1  upon today! What holiness we see surrounding us! And it is given  us to recognize it is a holiness in which we share; it is the
W2:292.1  joy can be the final outcome found for everything. Yet it is up to  us when this is reached—how long we let an alien will appear to be
W2:292.2  Father, for Your guarantee of only happy outcomes in the end. Help  us not interfere and so delay the happy endings You have promised us
W2:292.2  us not interfere and so delay the happy endings You have promised  us for every problem that we can perceive, for every trial we think
W2:295.1  must be one. As I am saved, the world is saved with me. For all of  us must be redeemed together. Fear appears in many different forms,
W2:296.2  quick accomplishment. How gladly does the Holy Spirit come to rescue  us from hell when we allow His teaching to persuade the world through
W2:296.2  from hell when we allow His teaching to persuade the world through  us to seek and find the easy path to God!
W2:300.1  Yet this is also the idea that lets no false perception keep  us in its hold nor represent more than a passing cloud upon a sky
W2:WISC.5  It needs your voice. And most of all it needs your willingness. Let  us rejoice that we can do God's Will and join together in its holy
W2:WISC.5  join together in its holy light. Behold, the Son of God is one in  us, and we can reach our Father's Love through him.
W2:302.1 Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits  us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we
W2:302.1  Now we see that darkness is our own imagining and light is there for  us to look upon. Christ's vision changes darkness into light, for
W2:302.2 Our Love awaits  us as we go to Him and walks beside us, showing us the way. He fails
W2:302.2 Our Love awaits us as we go to Him and walks beside  us, showing us the way. He fails in nothing. He the end we seek, and
W2:302.2 Our Love awaits us as we go to Him and walks beside us, showing  us the way. He fails in nothing. He the end we seek, and He the means
W2:305.2 Father, the peace of Christ is given  us because it is Your will that we be saved. Help us today but to
W2:305.2  of Christ is given us because it is Your will that we be saved. Help  us today but to accept Your gift and judge it not. For it has come to
W2:305.2  today but to accept Your gift and judge it not. For it has come to  us to save us from our judgment on ourselves.
W2:305.2  to accept Your gift and judge it not. For it has come to us to save  us from our judgment on ourselves.

W2:WICR.5 Our Father calls to  us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in the name of its
W2:WICR.5  holiness His own creation shares; Whose holiness is still a part of  us.
W2:321.2 Today we answer for the world, which will be freed along with  us. How glad are we to find our freedom through the certain way our
W2:323.2  and of images we worshiped falsely—truth returns to  us in wholeness and in joy. We are deceived no longer. Love has now
W2:324.2 So let  us follow One Who knows the way. We need not tarry, and we cannot
W2:326.2 Let  us today behold earth disappear, at first transformed, and then,
W2:328.1  suffering and loss, and death. This is not what our Father wills for  us, nor is there any second to His Will. To join with His is but to

W2:WAI.2  can speak of this and teach it, too, if we exemplify the words in  us.
W2:WAI.3  forgiveness is redeemed. And this, our gift, is therefore given  us. We look on everyone as brothers and perceive all things as kindly
W2:WAI.5  speak for Him, and carrying His Word to everyone whom He has sent to  us, we learn that it is written on our hearts. And thus our minds are
W2:359.1  to learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on  us. Sin is impossible, and on this fact forgiveness rests upon a
W2:359.1  upon a certain base more solid than the shadow world we see. Help  us forgive, for we would be redeemed. Help us forgive, for we would

W2:FL.2 His is the only way to find the peace that God has given  us. It is His way that everyone must travel in the end, because it is

Tx:8.79 The Holy Spirit teaches you to  use your body only to reach your brothers, so He can teach His

Tx:9.13  ideas which are eternal. Forgiveness that is learned of me does not  use fear to undo fear. Nor does it make real the unreal and then
Tx:9.56  come of it? And if no good can come of it, the Holy Spirit cannot  use it. What He cannot transform to the Will of God does not exist at
Tx:9.86  the willingness to judge unreality for what it is. This is the right  use of selective perception. To overlook nothingness is merely to

Tx:10.80  course is not sufficiently specific for you to understand it and  use it. Yet it has been very specific, and you have not done what it
Tx:10.87  would save you from all condemnation. Accept His healing power and  use it for all He sends you, for He wills to heal the Son of God in

Tx:11.43  weaker, you attempt to “equalize” the situation you have made. You  use attack to do so because you believe that attack was successful in
Tx:11.61  only by its results. Its generalization is demonstrated as you  use it in more and more situations. You will recognize that you have
Tx:12.46 You consider it “natural” to  use your past experience as the reference point from which to judge

Tx:13.21  pure. [If you displace your guilt upon them, the Holy Spirit cannot  use them.] For by preempting for your own ends what you should have
Tx:13.21  for your own ends what you should have given to Him, He cannot  use them unto your release. No one who would unite in any way with
Tx:13.23  with whom you find no real relationships at all. Can you expect to  use your brothers as a means to “solve” the past and still to see
Tx:13.23  to see them as they really are? Salvation is not found by those who  use their brothers to resolve problems which are not there. You
Tx:13.24 Determine, then, to be not as you were.  Use no relationship to hold you to the past, but with each one each

Tx:14.20  made in place of the power of creation, He would teach you how to  use on your behalf. You who made it to crucify yourselves must learn
Tx:14.58  so much between it and your awareness of it that you cannot  use it. Everything you have taught yourselves has made your power
Tx:14.64  everything you learned you do not want. Ask to be taught and do not  use your experiences to confirm what you have learned. When your
Tx:14.65  means. And so I do not know how to respond to it. And I will not  use my own past learning as the light to guide me now.
Tx:14.68  the Holy Spirit is limited. Thus would you make Him undependable and  use this fancied undependability as an excuse for keeping certain

Tx:15.7 How bleak and despairing is the ego's  use of time! And how terrifying! For underneath its fanatical

Tx:15.10  time at all to be what you are. Begin to practice the Holy Spirit's  use of time as a teaching aid to happiness and peace. Take this very
Tx:15.12  to teach you how to be willing to give Him this than for Him to  use this tiny instant to offer you the whole of Heaven. In exchange
Tx:15.13  to be released and to offer time to the Holy Spirit for His  use of it. How long is an instant? It is as short for your brother as
Tx:15.15 Time is your friend if you leave it to the Holy Spirit to  use. He needs but very little to restore God's whole power to you. He

Tx:15.91  to use the body only for purposes of communication and renounce its  use for separation and attack which the ego sees in it, you will
Tx:15.92  anything in eternity. But here it is the Holy Spirit's function to  use them both, though not as the ego uses them. This is the season

Tx:16.1  to empathize is very useful to the Holy Spirit, provided you let Him  use it in His way. [His way is very different.] He does not
Tx:16.3  would share, for there is nothing there that you would keep. Do not  use empathy to make the past real and so perpetuate it. Step gently
Tx:16.5  what it is. You will learn His interpretation of it if you let Him  use your capacity for strength and not for weakness. He will not

Tx:16.13  perception of your gift enables Him to understand it and you to  use His understanding on your behalf. It is impossible to convince
Tx:16.33  who select certain ones as partners in any aspect of living and  use them for any purpose which they would not share with others, are
Tx:16.65  abruptly lifted up and hurled into reality. Time is kind, and if you  use it for reality, it will keep gentle pace with you in your

W1:35.3  and it describes you as you must really be in truth. We will  use a somewhat different kind of application for today's idea because
W1:35.8  you feel are applicable to your reactions to that situation, and  use them in applying today's idea. After you have named each one, add:
W1:37.8  you see around you and to those who are in your thoughts; or you may  use any combination of these two phases of application which you

W1:43.15  those which distress you in any way. For this kind of application,  use this form:
W1:44.3  are going to attempt to reach that light. For this purpose, we will  use a form of practice which has been suggested before and which we
W1:44.4  by with little or no sense of strain. The form of exercise we will  use today is the most natural and easy one in the world for the
W1:44.5  untrained. You are quite ready to learn the form of exercise we will  use today, but you may find that you will encounter strong
W1:44.8  one that has any meaning because it is the only one that has any  use to you at all.
W1:47.9 Repeat the idea for today often.  Use it as your answer to any disturbance. Remember that peace is your
W1:48.2  very frequent. Merely repeat the idea as often as possible. You can  use it with your eyes open at any time and in any situation. It is

W1:65.4  training which your mind needs, so that the Holy Spirit can  use it consistently for the purpose He shares with you.

W1:76.4  under different names in a long catalogue of rituals that have no  use and serve no purpose. You think you must obey the “laws” of

W1:83.4  not give me a function other than the one God gave me. Let me not  use this to justify a function God did not give me.
W1:84.7 This is no justification for denying my Self. I will not  use this to attack love. Let this not tempt me to attack myself.
W1:85.4 Let me not  use this as a block to sight. The light of the world will shine all
W1:87.2 [73] I will there be light. I will  use the power of my will today. It is not my will to grope about in

W1:89.3 You might  use these suggestions for specific applications of this idea:

W1:R3.10 Here is another chance to  use it well. In these reviews we stress the need to let your learning

W1:161.3 Thus were specifics made. And now it is specifics we must  use in practicing. We give them to the Holy Spirit that He may employ
W1:161.3  purpose which is different from the one we gave to them. Yet He can  use but what we made to teach us from a different point of view, so
W1:161.3  teach us from a different point of view, so we can see a different  use in everything.
W1:161.16  idea is your safe escape from anger and from fear. Be sure you  use it instantly, should you be tempted to attack a brother and
W1:162.4 Today we practice simply. For the words we  use are mighty, and they need no thoughts beyond themselves to change
W1:R5.14  another day. No thought that we review but we surround with it and  use the thoughts to hold it up before our minds and keep it clear in
W1:R5.15  faith in the experience that comes from practice, not the means we  use. We wait for the experience and recognize that it is only here
W1:R5.15  experience and recognize that it is only here conviction lies. We  use the words, and try and try again to go beyond them to their
W1:181.8 And we will also  use these thoughts to keep us safe throughout the day. We do not seek
W1:183.7  Let all your thoughts become anchored on this. No other words we  use except at the beginning, when we say today's idea but once. And
W1:184.9  yet were asked to take a teaching function. You have need to  use the symbols of the world a while. But be you not deceived by them
W1:184.11  Use all the little names and symbols which delineate the world of
W1:184.11  Meaning, and a single Source Which unifies all things within Itself.  Use all the names the world bestows on them but for convenience, yet
W1:184.13  truth at all. One Name we bring into our practicing. One Name we  use to unify our sight.
W1:184.14 And though we  use a different name for each awareness of an aspect of God's Son, we
W1:184.14  they have but One Name, Which He has given them. It is this Name we  use in practicing. And through Its use, all foolish separations
W1:184.14  given them. It is this Name we use in practicing. And through Its  use, all foolish separations disappear which kept us blind. And we
W1:185.8  still. What do you ask for in your heart? Forget the words you  use in making your requests. Consider but what you believe will
W1:191.6  you learn as well that you have freed the world. You have no need to  use it cruelly and then perceive this savage need in it. You set it
W1:193.14  day, another minute, or another instant. Time was made for this.  Use it today for what its purpose is. Morning and night, devote what
W1:199.7  within a body. Be you free, so that the Holy Spirit can make  use of your escape from bondage to set free the many who perceive
W1:R6.1  15 minutes, and the hourly remembrances we make throughout the day,  use the idea as often as you can between them. Each of these ideas
W1:R6.2  for that one, there must be no exceptions made. And so we need to  use them all and let them blend as one, as each contributes to the
W2:I.1 Words will mean little now. We  use them but as guides on which we do not now depend. For now we seek
W2:I.2  us happy. We will not consider time a matter of duration now. We  use as much as we will need for the result that we desire. Nor will

W2:295.2  asked a gift of me, and one I give that it be given me. Help me to  use the eyes of Christ today and thus allow the Holy Spirit's love to
W2:296.1  through me. I am resolved to let You speak through me, for I would  use no words but Yours and have no thoughts which are apart from
W2:304.1  the holy sights Christ looks upon unless it is His vision that I  use. Perception is a mirror, not a fact. And what I look on is my
W2:306.1 What but Christ's vision would I  use today when it can offer me a day in which I see a world so like

Tx:3.66  term with considerable fear, believing that judgment will someday be  used against you. To whatever extent it is used against you, it is
Tx:3.66  judgment will someday be used against you. To whatever extent it is  used against you, it is due only to your belief in its efficacy as a

Tx:18.53  instruments of separation reinterpreted as means for salvation and  used for purposes of love? Would you not welcome and support the
Tx:19.3  the Universal Purpose. When this occurs, the body becomes its weapon  used against this Purpose to demonstrate the “fact” that separation
Tx:19.4  is the perception of a brother as a body, and the body cannot be  used for purposes of union. If, then, you see your brother as a body,
Tx:20.41  brother's body is as little use to you as it is to him. When it is  used only as the Holy Spirit teaches, it has no function, for minds

Tx:22.52 Where freedom of the body has been chosen, the mind is  used as means whose value lies in its ability to contrive ways to
Tx:22.54  entrusted to it can be misused, and nothing given it but will be  used. This holy relationship has the power to heal all pain,

Tx:20.40  through him. What is in him will shine so brightly in your grateful  vision that you will merely love him and be glad. You will not think
Tx:20.40  still has meaning? For this insistence is of those who do not see.  Vision or judgment is your choice, but never both of these.
Tx:20.43  both of you will offer and receive it for you both. And through His  vision will you see it, and through His understanding recognize it
Tx:20.62  the means remain unquestioned while the end is cherished.  Vision adapts to wish, for sight is always secondary to desire. And
Tx:20.62  to desire. And if you see the body, you have chosen judgment and not  vision. For vision, like relationships, has no order. You either see
Tx:20.62  if you see the body, you have chosen judgment and not vision. For  vision, like relationships, has no order. You either see or not.
Tx:20.64 There is indeed a difference between this vain imagining and  vision. The difference lies not in them, but in their purpose. Both
Tx:20.65  except through judgment. To see the body is the sign that you lack  vision and have denied the means the Holy Spirit offers you to serve
Tx:20.65  its purpose through the means of sin? Judgment you taught yourself;  vision is learned from Him Who would undo your teaching. His vision
Tx:20.65  vision is learned from Him Who would undo your teaching. His  vision cannot see the body because it cannot look on sin. And thus it
Tx:20.66  escape from fear. Salvation is the Holy Spirit's goal. The means is  vision. For what the seeing look upon is sinless. No one who loves
Tx:20.66  he sees he did not make, for it was given him to see, as was the  vision which made his seeing possible.
Tx:20.67  Vision will come to you at first in glimpses, but they will be enough
Tx:20.67  what was never lost will quietly return. It has been saved for you.  Vision would not be necessary had judgment not been made. Desire now
Tx:20.68  All this is given, waiting on your desire but to receive it.  Vision is freely given to those who ask to see.
Tx:20.69  is given you in shining light, to look on with the Holy Spirit's  vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace will come to all
Tx:20.69  then, to see your brother sinless that Christ may rise before your  vision and give you joy. And place no value on your brother's body,
Tx:20.70  and gave you shall be yours. This is your purpose now, and the  vision that makes it yours is ready to be given. You have the vision
Tx:20.70  the vision that makes it yours is ready to be given. You have the  vision which enables each one to see the body not. And as you look
Tx:20.71  There is no problem, no event or situation, no perplexity that  vision will not solve. All is redeemed when looked upon with vision.
Tx:20.71  that vision will not solve. All is redeemed when looked upon with  vision. For this is not your sight, and brings with it the laws
Tx:20.72 Everything looked upon with  vision falls gently into place according to the laws brought to it by
Tx:20.73  means to play the idle game of death in your imagination. But  vision sets all things right, bringing them gently within the kindly
Tx:20.76  saw within; or better, if you saw at all or merely judged against.  Vision is the means by which the Holy Spirit translates your
Tx:20.77  that never waste away, who need persuade you to accept the gift of  vision? And after vision, who is there who could refuse what must
Tx:20.77  away, who need persuade you to accept the gift of vision? And after  vision, who is there who could refuse what must come after? Think but
Tx:21.1  difficulty in miracles is meaningless. Everything looked upon with  vision is healed and holy. Nothing perceived without it means
Tx:21.4  which to light. Judgment will always give you false directions, but  vision shows you where to go. Why should you guess?
Tx:21.5  are not happy learners yet because you still remain uncertain that  vision gives you more than judgment does, and you have learned that
Tx:21.11 This is the  vision of the Son of God, whom you know well. Here is the sight of
Tx:21.11  and joined to all as surely as all is joined in you. Accept the  vision which can show you this and not the body. You know the ancient
Tx:21.12  not withstand the memory of this song. And they will look upon the  vision of the Son of God, remembering who he is they sing of. What is
Tx:21.14 This is the only thing that you need do for  vision, happiness, release from pain, and the complete escape from
Tx:21.22 The Holy Spirit can give you faith in holiness and  vision to see it easily enough. But you have not left open and
Tx:21.23  an instant of creation but of recognition. For recognition comes of  vision and suspended judgment. Then only is it possible to look
Tx:21.25 When  vision is denied, confusion of cause and effect becomes inevitable.
Tx:21.32 Faith and belief and  vision are the means by which the goal of holiness is reached.
Tx:21.32  He reminds you there is but one. His faith and His belief and  vision are all for you. And when you have accepted them completely
Tx:21.32  of yours, you will have need of them no longer. For faith and  vision and belief are meaningful only before the state of certainty
Tx:21.34  The Holy Spirit sees perception as a means to teach you that the  vision of a holy relationship is all you want to see. Then will you
Tx:21.35 Faith and belief become attached to  vision, as all the means that once served sin are redirected now
Tx:21.36  the power of belief and faith goes far beyond the body, supporting  vision, not obstructing it. But first they chose to recognize how
Tx:21.36  born of faith. For all who choose to look away from sin are given  vision and are led to holiness.
Tx:21.40  to sin, and in the darkness so it still is seen. Yet in the light of  vision, it is looked upon quite differently. You can have faith in it
Tx:21.51 There is another  vision and another Voice in which your freedom lies awaiting but your
Tx:21.58  lead to changed perception. And in this change is room made way for  vision. Vision extends beyond itself, as does the purpose which it
Tx:21.58  changed perception. And in this change is room made way for vision.  Vision extends beyond itself, as does the purpose which it serves and
Tx:21.77  him through the body's eyes or let him be revealed to you through  vision? How this decision leads to its effects is not your problem.
Tx:21.84  for the inconstant. Joy cannot be perceived except through constant  vision. And constant vision can be given only those who wish for
Tx:21.84  Joy cannot be perceived except through constant vision. And constant  vision can be given only those who wish for constancy. The power of
Tx:21.87  It is unshakable as is the love of God for His creation. Sure in its  vision as its Creator is in what He knows, it looks on everything and
Tx:22.4  to sameness. [And here is sight of differences transformed to  vision.] And reason now can lead you to the logical conclusion of
Tx:22.6  eyes which are not yours must make no sense to you. To whom would  vision such as this send back its messages? Surely not you, whose
Tx:22.6  of the eyes which look upon the world. If this is not your  vision, what can it show to you? The brain cannot interpret what your
Tx:22.6  what can it show to you? The brain cannot interpret what your  vision sees. This you would understand. The brain interprets to the
Tx:22.7  else” which sees, and as not you, explains its sight to you. Your  vision would, of course, render this quite unnecessary. Yet if your
Tx:22.9  You will perceive no difficulty in understanding what this  vision tells you, for everyone sees only what he thinks he is. And
Tx:22.9  show you, you will understand because it is the truth. Only your  vision can convey to you what you can see. It reaches you directly
Tx:22.11  is like a baby now in its rebirth. Yet in this infant is your  vision returned to you, and he will speak the language both of you
Tx:22.11  yourself. For no two people can unite except through Christ, Whose  vision sees them one.
Tx:22.13  Reason will tell you that they must have seen each other through a  vision not of the body and communicated in a language the body does
Tx:22.20  that it is impossible for you to see no guilt in anyone. And if this  vision is the only means by which escape from guilt can be attained,
Tx:22.23  Heaven with. A savior cannot be a judge, nor mercy condemnation. And  vision cannot damn, but only bless. Whose function is to save will
Tx:22.27  For at its center Christ has been reborn to light His home with  vision that overlooks the world. Would you not have this holy home be
Tx:22.28 All you need do to dwell in quiet here with Christ is share His  vision. Quickly and gladly is His vision given to anyone who is but
Tx:22.28  here with Christ is share His vision. Quickly and gladly is His  vision given to anyone who is but willing to see his brother sinless.
Tx:22.29  reason. This is not a play on words, for here is the beginning of a  vision that has meaning. Vision is sense, quite literally. If it is
Tx:22.29  on words, for here is the beginning of a vision that has meaning.  Vision is sense, quite literally. If it is not the body's sight, it
Tx:22.33  stopping at the outside form of nothing. To this distorted form of  vision, the outside of everything, the wall that stands between you
Tx:22.36  his mistakes keep you from him whose holiness is yours. Let not the  vision of his holiness, the sight of which would show you your
Tx:22.56  not recognize, and yet you will remember. Who can deny himself the  vision that he brings to others? And who would fail to recognize a
Tx:23.44  that you lose sight of it? It can be kept shining before your  vision, forever clear and never out of sight if you defend it not.
Tx:24.16  from love, which does not see his specialness at all. Christ's  vision is their “enemy,” for it sees not what they would look upon,
Tx:24.46  own. Christ's hand holds all His brothers in Himself. He gives them  vision for their sightless eyes and sings to them of Heaven that
Tx:24.54  him, and you as well. And let the fear of God no longer hold the  vision you were meant to see from you. Your brother's body shows not
Tx:25.19  to behold in him what he sees not. And in this seeing is the  vision shared that looks on Christ instead of seeing death.
Tx:25.30  too sees what He sees as far beyond the chance of change. But on His  vision sin cannot encroach, for sin has been corrected by His sight.
Tx:25.34  to look upon and where their hearts are glad. In you there is a  vision which extends to all of them and covers them in gentleness and
Tx:31.62  false, for what is real denies its opposite. There is no choice in  vision but this one. What you decide in this determines all you see
Tx:31.66  would be impossible. But concepts are not difficult to change. One  vision, clearly seen, that does not fit the picture as it was
Tx:31.74  on them as through a barrier which dims your sight and warps your  vision, so that you behold nothing with clarity. The light is kept
Tx:31.74  fear is hell. All that is given you is for release—the sight, the  vision, and the inner Guide all lead you out of hell with those you
Tx:31.75  and what he looks upon to judge what he beholds. And in this single  vision does he see the face of Christ and understands he looks on
Tx:31.78  upon that he may be what they expect of him. This is the savior's  vision—that he see his innocence in all he looks upon and sees his
Tx:31.79  the likeness of the self whose image has the wish begot of you. For  vision can but represent a wish, because it has no power to create.
Tx:31.80 The savior's  vision is as innocent of what your brother is as it is free of any
Tx:31.80  of old ideas and ancient concepts held so long and dear against the  vision of the Christ in you.
Tx:31.82  light, for it is dark indeed, and men despair because the savior's  vision is withheld, and what they see is death. Their savior stands,
Tx:31.93  it is but a step from there to Heaven. To your tired eyes I bring a  vision of a different world, so new and clean and fresh you will
Tx:31.93  you will forget the pain and sorrow that you saw before. Yet this a  vision is which you must share with everyone you see, for otherwise
W1:8.3  is filled with real ideas, is the first step to opening the way to  vision.
W1:10.3  when you think you see it. As such, it is the prerequisite for  vision.
W1:15.1  seeing. It is image-making. It takes the place of seeing, replacing  vision with illusions.
W1:15.2  familiar objects which you see now. That is the beginning of real  vision. You can be certain that real vision will come quickly when
W1:15.2  That is the beginning of real vision. You can be certain that real  vision will come quickly when this has occurred.
W1:20.3 Your decision to see is all that  vision requires. What you want is yours. Do not mistake the little
W1:20.3  is given him in Heaven and on earth. In your determination to see is  vision given you.
W1:23.4  means, for where is the world you see when its cause is gone?  Vision already holds a replacement for everything you think you see
W1:27.1  idea expresses something stronger than mere determination. It gives  vision priority among your desires. You may feel hesitant about using
W1:27.3  Vision has no cost to anyone.
W1:28.5 You could, in fact, gain  vision from just that table if you could withdraw all your own ideas
W1:29.1  and all subsequent ones as well. Today's idea is the whole basis for  vision.
W1:29.3  to you. Its holy purpose stands beyond your little range. When  vision has shown you the holiness that lights up the world, you will
W1:30.1 The idea for today is the springboard for  vision. From this idea will the world open up before you, and you
W1:30.2  keeping it apart from us. That is the fundamental difference between  vision and the way you see.
W1:30.4 Real  vision is not limited to concepts such as “near” and “far.” To help
W1:30.4  well as those you can actually see, as you apply today's idea. Real  vision is not only unlimited by space and distance, but it does not
W1:35.1  the way you see yourself now. It does, however, describe what  vision will show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in
W1:35.2  you are in it is seen through the eyes of the image. This is not  vision. Images cannot see.
W1:37.1  nothing is taken away from anyone; everyone gains through your holy  vision. It signifies the end of sacrifice because it offers everyone
W1:37.2  losing. Yet is his wholeness restored to his awareness through your  vision. Your holiness blesses him by asking nothing of him. Those who
W1:39.7  And it is your blessing on them that will save you and give you  vision.
W1:42.1  power. And it is His gift to you, rather than your own, which offers  vision to you.
W1:42.5  Vision must be possible. God gives truly; or,
W1:43.3  do in Him because whatever you think, you think with His Mind. If  vision is real, and it is real to the extent to which it shares the
W1:44.2  the light that makes seeing possible. It is with you always, making  vision possible in every circumstance.
W1:45.1  you think, just as nothing that you think you see is related to  vision in any way. There is no relationship between what is real and
W1:45.1  Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what  vision will show you.
W1:51.2  I may learn to see. What I think I see now is taking the place of  vision. I must let it go by realizing that it has no meaning so that
W1:51.2  vision. I must let it go by realizing that it has no meaning so that  vision may take its place.
W1:51.3  I look upon. And it is this and only this that I see. This is not  vision. It is merely an illusion of reality, because my judgments
W1:52.5  it is whether to see or not. What I have chosen to see has cost me  vision. Now I would choose again that I may see.
W1:56.3  that what I see reflects what I think I am, I realize that  vision is my greatest need. The world I see attests to the fearful
W1:56.3  that I let this image of myself go. As it is replaced by truth,  vision will surely be given me. And with this vision, I will look
W1:56.3  is replaced by truth, vision will surely be given me. And with this  vision, I will look upon the world and upon myself with charity and
W1:59.3 [42] God is my strength.  Vision is His gift. Let me not look to my own eyes to see today. Let
W1:59.3  Let me be willing to exchange my pitiful illusion of seeing for the  vision that is given by God. Christ's vision is His gift, and He has
W1:59.3  illusion of seeing for the vision that is given by God. Christ's  vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call upon this
W1:59.4  is these I choose when I try to see through the body's eyes. Yet the  vision of Christ has been given me to replace them. It is through
W1:59.4  of Christ has been given me to replace them. It is through this  vision that I choose to see.
W1:59.5  to understand that God is the Light in which I see. Let me welcome  vision and the happy world it will show me.
W1:60.6  me that His Son is sinless. And as I look upon the world with the  vision He has given me, I remember that I am His Son.
W1:75.9 Realize that your forgiveness entitles you to  vision. Understand that the Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift
W1:75.9  will be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you what true  vision sees. It is His Will, and you have joined with Him. Wait
W1:75.15  and see it everywhere today, as we celebrate the beginning of your  vision and the sight of the real world which has come to replace the
W1:85.2  the light. Grievances and light cannot go together, but light and  vision must be joined for me to see. To see, I must lay grievances
W1:91.1 It is important to remember that miracles and  vision necessarily go together. This needs repeating and frequent
W1:91.1  The miracle is always there. Its presence is not caused by your  vision; its absence is not the result of your failure to see. It is
W1:100.5  to take the part that is essential to God's plan as well as to our  vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play another part instead
W1:108.1  Vision depends upon today's idea. The light is in it, for it
W1:108.2 True light which makes true  vision possible is not the light the body's eyes behold. It is a
W1:108.3 This is the light which shows no opposites, and  vision, being healed, has power to heal. This is the light that
W1:108.6  behind it can be generalized to other areas of doubt and double  vision. And from there it will extend and finally arrive at the one
W1:108.7  peace returns to us. Light is tranquility, and in that peace is  vision given us and we can see.
W1:109.2  This thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose  vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and
W1:110.2  need to let complete correction heal your mind and give you perfect  vision which will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any
W1:125.9  today lift you above the thinking of the world and free your  vision from the body's eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear
W1:133.10  hidden goals. And though he tries to keep its halo clear within his  vision, yet must he perceive its tarnished edges and its rusted core.
W1:151.10  you have placed in pain, disaster, suffering, and loss. He gives you  vision which can look beyond these grim appearances and can behold
W1:157.5  fingertips to those you touch and blesses those you look upon. A  vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think of, or who
W1:157.6  will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to bring the  vision of what you experience this day to light the world. We cannot
W1:157.6  world. We cannot give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a  vision in our eyes which we can offer everyone that he may come the
W1:157.7  And you who bring it light will come to see the light more sure, the  vision more distinct.
W1:157.9  unaware of everything except His shining face and perfect Love. The  vision of His face will stay with you, but there will be an instant
W1:157.9  stay with you, but there will be an instant which transcends all  vision, even this, the holiest. This you will never teach, for you
W1:157.9  will never teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the  vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant and
W1:158.2  in the text. Experience cannot be shared directly in the way that  vision can. The revelation that the Father and the Son are one will
W1:158.5  not learn it. It revealed itself to him at its appointed time. But  vision is his gift. This he can give directly, for Christ's knowledge
W1:158.5  give directly, for Christ's knowledge is not lost because He has a  vision He can give to anyone who asks. The Father's Will and His are
W1:158.5  The Father's Will and His are joined in knowledge. Yet there is a  vision which the Holy Spirit sees because the mind of Christ beholds
W1:158.6  what needs to be accomplished. Our concern is with Christ's  vision. This we can attain.
W1:158.7 Christ's  vision has one law. It does not look upon a body and mistake it for
W1:158.9 Thus are his sins forgiven him, for Christ has  vision which has power to overlook them all. In His forgiveness, they
W1:158.9  they are gone. Unseen by One, they merely disappear because a  vision of the holiness which lies beyond them comes to take their
W1:158.10 Thus do you learn to give as you receive. And thus Christ's  vision looks on you as well. This lesson is not difficult to learn if
W1:158.10  brother whom you meet today provides another chance to let Christ's  vision shine on you and offer you the peace of God.
W1:158.11  the eyes of Christ today. And by the holy gifts we give, Christ's  vision looks upon ourselves as well.
W1:159.3 Christ's  vision is a miracle. It comes from far beyond itself, for it reflects
W1:159.3  rebirth of love which never died but has been kept obscure. Christ's  vision pictures Heaven, for it sees a world so like to Heaven that
W1:159.4 Christ's  vision is the miracle in which all miracles are born. It is their
W1:159.5 Christ's  vision is the bridge between the worlds. And in its power can you
W1:159.5  the light that shines beyond them. Holiness has been restored to  vision, and the blind can see.
W1:159.8 Christ's  vision is the holy ground in which the lilies of forgiveness set
W1:159.10  Let us an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His  vision gives the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting
W1:160.9  Christ has come to search the world for what belongs to Him. His  vision sees no strangers, but beholds His own and joyously unites
W1:161.6  body, for its sight presents the symbol of love's “enemy” Christ's  vision does not see. The body is the target for attack, for no one
W1:161.9  love, and God created perfect. This is his reality. And in Christ's  vision is his loveliness reflected in a form so holy and so beautiful
W1:161.11  readiness is closer now, and you will come today nearer Christ's  vision. If you are intent on reaching it, you will succeed today. And
W1:162.4  sharing is unlimited. And thus you learn to think with God. Christ's  vision has restored your sight by salvaging your mind.
W1:164.6 Brothers, this day is sacred to the world. Your  vision, given you from far beyond all things within the world, looks
W1:164.8  looks on us and offer it the freedom given us through His forgiving  vision, now our own. Open the curtain in your practicing by merely
W1:164.9 Is not this purpose worthy to be yours? Is not Christ's  vision worthy to be sought above the world's unsatisfying goals? Let
W1:165.5  What would induce you now to let it fade away from your ecstatic  vision? For this sight proves that you have exchanged your blindness
W1:166.11  answered, and the sight that looked upon it now has been replaced by  vision which perceives that you are not what you pretend to be. One
W1:167.12  thing reflected and the light which makes reflection possible. No  vision now is needed. For the wakened mind is one that knows its
W1:168.4  Him now to give the means by which this world will disappear, and  vision first will come with knowledge but an instant later. For in
W1:170.12  by its weight; beheld not in its sightless eyes but in the  vision that your choice restored to you.
W1:I2.2  horizons and direct approaches to the special blocks which keep your  vision narrow and too limited to let you see the value of our goal.
W1:181.2  but this focus, and what you behold will change accordingly. Your  vision now will shift to give support to the intent which has
W1:181.8  seek for long range goals. As each obstruction seems to block the  vision of our sinlessness, we seek but for surcease an instant from
W1:184.4 This is the way reality is made by partial  vision, purposefully set against the given truth. Its enemy is
W1:184.4  things and looks upon them. And a lack of space, a sense of unity or  vision which sees differently become the threats which it must
W1:184.5 Yet does this other  vision still remain a natural direction for the mind to channel its
W1:188.2  he beholds in him? It is not difficult to look within, for there all  vision starts. There is no sight, be it of dreams or from a truer
W1:188.2  truer source, that is not but the shadow of the seen through inward  vision. There perception starts, and there it ends. It has no source
W1:188.3  and valueless. It brings renewal to all tired hearts and lights all  vision as it passes by. All of its gifts are given everyone, and
W1:188.5  In quietness is it acknowledged universally. For what your inward  vision looks upon is your perception of the universe.
W1:192.6  With anger gone, you will indeed perceive that for Christ's  vision and the gift of sight no sacrifice was asked, and only pain
W1:193.2  he has a need for One Who can correct his erring sight and give him  vision that will lead him back to where perception ceases. God does
W1:198.14  the Son is to perceive no more and only know the Father? In this  vision of the Son, so brief that not an instant stands between this
W1:198.14  between this single sight and timelessness itself, you see the  vision of yourself and then you disappear forever into God.
W1:198.15  nearer to the end of everything that yet would stand between this  vision and our sight. And we are glad that we have come this far and
W1:218.1 [198] Only my condemnation injures me. My condemnation keeps my  vision dark, and through my sightless eyes I cannot see the vision of
W1:218.1  keeps my vision dark, and through my sightless eyes I cannot see the  vision of my glory. Yet today I can behold this glory and be glad. I
W2:I.6  Accept these little gifts of thanks from us, as through Christ's  vision we behold a world beyond the one we made and take that world
W2:247.1  I will suffer. For forgiveness is the only means whereby Christ's  vision comes to me. Let me accept what His sight shows me as the
W2:260.1  my Identity. And let my sinlessness arise again before Christ's  vision, through which I would look upon my brothers and myself today.
W2:263.2  outside the gate of Heaven, let us look on all we see through holy  vision and the eyes of Christ. Let all appearances seem pure to us
W2:269.2 Today our sight is blessed indeed. We share one  vision as we look upon the face of Him Whose Self is ours. We are one
W2:270.1 Father, Christ's  vision is Your gift to me, and it has power to translate all that the
W2:271.2 Father, Christ's  vision is the way to You. What He beholds invites Your memory to be
W2:290.1  see. Eyes that begin to open see at last. And I would have Christ's  vision come to me this very day. What I perceive without God's own
W2:291.1 Christ's  vision looks through me today. His sight shows me all things forgiven
W2:291.1  sight shows me all things forgiven and at peace and offers this same  vision to the world. And I accept this vision in its name, both for
W2:291.1  at peace and offers this same vision to the world. And I accept this  vision in its name, both for myself and for the world as well. What

W1:151.8  is meaningless before Its face. Christ cannot doubt Himself. The  Voice of God can only honor Him, rejoicing in His perfect,

W1:154.3 It is through His ability to hear One  Voice Which is His own that you become aware at last there is One

W1:171.2 [151] All things are echoes of the  Voice of God. God is but Love, and therefore so am I.
W1:182.1  a place that called you to return, although you do not recognize the  Voice nor what it is the Voice reminds you of. Yet still you feel an
W1:182.1  return, although you do not recognize the Voice nor what it is the  Voice reminds you of. Yet still you feel an alien here, from
W1:182.5  His Father. He desires to go home so deeply, so unceasingly, His  voice cries unto you to let Him rest a while. He does not ask for
W1:182.6  home. He is so little that He seems so easily shut out, His tiny  Voice so readily obscured, His calls for help almost unheard amid the
W1:182.7  His patience has no limits. He will wait until you hear His gentle  Voice within you, calling you to let Him go in peace along with you
W1:182.8  cease to have value in your restless mind, then will you hear His  Voice. So poignantly He calls to you that you will not resist Him
W1:182.12  It is for this you yearn. This is your heart's desire. This is the  Voice you hear, and this the Call which cannot be denied. The holy
W1:183.12  but the Son of God who calls upon his Father. And his Father's  Voice gives answer in his Father's holy Name. In this eternal, still
W1:186.4 All false humility we lay aside today that we may listen to God's  Voice reveal to us what He would have us do. We do not doubt our
W1:186.5  plan you did not make instead. Judge not your value to it. If God's  Voice assures you that salvation needs your part and that the whole
W1:186.5  might affront their stance. Yet are the humble free to hear the  Voice which tells them what they are and what to do.
W1:186.6  real. It is this image which quails and retreats in terror as the  Voice for God assures you that you have the strength, the wisdom, and
W1:186.7 All this the  Voice for God relates to you. And as He speaks, the image trembles
W1:186.11  doubt of its validity. It comes from One Who knows no error. And His  Voice is certain of its messages. They will not change nor be in
W1:186.12 Do as His  Voice directs. And if it asks a thing of you that seems impossible,
W1:186.12  denial. Then consider this—which is more likely to be right? The  Voice that speaks for the Creator of all things Who knows all things
W1:186.12  bewildered, inconsistent and unsure of everything? Let not its  voice direct you. Hear instead a certain Voice Which tells you of a
W1:186.12  of everything? Let not its voice direct you. Hear instead a certain  Voice Which tells you of a function given you by your Creator, Who
W1:186.13 His gentle  Voice is calling from the known to the unknowing. He would comfort
W1:188.7  came but to remind you how you must return. They heed your Father's  Voice when you refuse to listen. And they urge you gently to accept
W1:198.5  with gratitude? And is it not a kindness to yourself to hear His  Voice and learn the simple lessons He would teach, instead of trying
W1:199.9 I am not a body. I am free. I hear the  Voice that God has given me, and it is only this my mind obeys.
W1:202.1  more where I do not belong, when God Himself has given me His  Voice to call me home? I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as
W2:I.4  wait for Him to take the step to us that He has told us, through His  Voice, He would not fail to take when we invited Him. He has not left
W2:I.4  with Him will now be spent. We say the words of invitation that His  Voice suggests, and then we wait for Him to come to us.
W2:221.1  my heart, the deep recesses of my mind, I wait and listen for Your  Voice. My Father, speak to me today. I come to hear Your Voice in
W2:221.1  for Your Voice. My Father, speak to me today. I come to hear Your  Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will hear my

W2:WIW.4  world. Follow His light and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His  Voice alone in all that speaks to you. And let Him give you peace and
W2:245.2  give the message that we have received. And thus we come to hear the  Voice of God, Who speaks to us as we relate His Word, Whose Love we
W2:254.1 Father, today I would but hear Your  Voice. In deepest silence, I would come to You to hear Your Voice and
W2:254.1  Your Voice. In deepest silence, I would come to You to hear Your  Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no prayer but this: I come to
W2:256.2  to You in Your appointed way. We have no goal except to hear Your  Voice and find the way Your sacred Word has pointed out to us.
W2:266.1  be my saviors and my counselors in sight—the bearers of Your holy  Voice to me. In them are You reflected, and in them does Christ look
W2:267.1  infuses me with strength. I am a messenger of God, directed by His  Voice, sustained by Him in love, and held forever quiet and at peace
W2:267.1  Each heartbeat calls His Name, and every one is answered by His  Voice, assuring me I am at home in Him.
W2:271.1  to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God's  Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in God's creation. In
W2:275.1 Let us today attend the  Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no more true today than
W2:275.1  seek and hear and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the  Voice of God tells us of things we cannot understand alone, nor learn
W2:275.1  this that all things are protected. And in this the healing of the  Voice of God is found.
W2:275.2 Your healing  Voice protects all things today, and so I leave all things to You. I
W2:275.2  I leave all things to You. I need be anxious over nothing. For Your  Voice will tell me what to do and where to go, to whom to speak, and
W2:275.2  to give the world. The safety that I bring is given me. Father, Your  Voice protects all things through me.
W2:WIHS.3  yearns to have you recognize your sinlessness, you would not let His  Voice appeal in vain nor turn away from His replacement for the
W2:296.1 The Holy Spirit needs my  voice today, that all the world may listen to Your Voice and hear
W2:296.1  Spirit needs my voice today, that all the world may listen to Your  Voice and hear Your Word through me. I am resolved to let You speak
W2:296.1  would set it free that I may find escape and hear the Word Your holy  Voice will speak to me today.
W2:300.2  loving Sons, have lost our way a while. But we have listened to Your  Voice and learned exactly what to do to be restored to Heaven and our
W2:WISC.5  that. It needs your eyes and ears and hands and feet. It needs your  voice. And most of all it needs your willingness. Let us rejoice that
W2:WILJ.1 Christ's Second Coming gives the Son of God the gift to hear the  Voice for God proclaim that what is false is false and what is true
W2:WICR.5 Our Father calls to us. We hear His  Voice, and we forgive creation in the name of its Creator, Holiness
W2:321.1  look to find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your  Voice directing me. Now I would guide myself no more. For I have
W2:321.1  me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your  Voice directs me. And the way to You is opening and clear to me at
W2:324.1  I can but choose to wander off a while and then return. Your loving  Voice will always call me back and guide my feet aright. My brothers
W2:328.1  for all things we perceive are upside-down until we listen to the  Voice of God. It seems that we will gain autonomy but by our striving
W2:334.1  perception. Let me not accept such meager gifts again today. God's  Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and choose to
W2:339.2  day. It is a day in which I would do nothing by myself but hear Your  Voice in everything I do; requesting only what You offer me,
W2:340.1  Son will be redeemed. His suffering is done. For he will hear Your  Voice directing him to find Christ's vision through forgiveness and
W2:347.2 Listen today. Be very still and hear the gentle  Voice for God assuring you that He has judged you as the Son He loves.
W2:WAI.4  redeemed from every thought of sin. Ours are the ears that hear the  Voice of God proclaim the world as sinless. Ours the minds which join
W2:351.1  way secure and clear. Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your  Voice. For He alone gives judgment in Your Name.
W2:352.1  memory of You and One Who leads me to it. Father, I would hear Your  Voice and find Your peace today. For I would love my own Identity and
W2:357.1  holy Son is pointed out to me, first in my brother, then in me. Your  Voice instructs me patiently to hear Your Word and give as I receive.
W2:357.1  give as I receive. And as I look upon Your Son today, I hear Your  Voice instructing me to find the way to You as You appointed that the
W2:358.1  You speak for me. And what You give me comes from God Himself. Your  Voice, my Father, then is mine as well, and all I want is what You
W2:358.1  chose that it be mine. Let me remember all I do not know, and let my  voice be still, remembering. But let me not forget Your Love and
W2:FL.6  understand and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons through the  Voice of His own Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to
W2:E.2  Therefore, obey your will and follow Him Whom you accepted as your  Voice, to speak of what you really want and really need. His is the
W2:E.2  Voice, to speak of what you really want and really need. His is the  Voice for God, and also yours. And thus He speaks of freedom and of
W2:E.3  for there is no more need of them. Henceforth, hear but the  Voice for God and for your Self when you retire from the world, to

M:8.5  smaller one? Will he agree more quickly to the unreality of a louder  voice he hears than to that of a softer one? Will he dismiss more
M:9.2  giving up of judgment, the obvious prerequisite for hearing God's  Voice, is usually a fairly slow process, not because it is difficult,
M:12.3  is not understandable to the deluded. Only a very few can hear God's  Voice at all, and even they cannot communicate His messages directly
M:12.3  who do not realize that they are spirit. A body they can see. A  voice they understand and listen to without the fear that truth would

M:12.5  give the body another purpose from the one that keeps it holy. God's  Voice will tell him when he has fulfilled his role, just as It tells

Tx:24.1  can hold back the Will that holds the universe secure? God does not  wait upon illusions to let Him be Himself. No more His Son. They are.
Tx:24.30  to make attack upon illusions. They are not bodies; as One mind they  wait for all illusions to be brought to them and left behind.
Tx:26.73  in it all effects that you will see. They can be looked at now. Why  wait till they unfold in time and fear they may not come, although
Tx:27.45  instant, you love without attack. An instant is sufficient. Miracles  wait not on time.
Tx:29.32  Son of God within. Here is the role the Holy Spirit gives to you who  wait upon the Son of God and would behold him waken and be glad. He
Tx:30.45  far beyond all change and shine forever. They await not birth. They  wait for welcome and remembering. The Thought God holds of you is
Tx:30.59  hope of happiness in him so sure and constant he can barely stay and  wait a little longer with his feet still touching earth. Yet is he
Tx:30.59  little longer with his feet still touching earth. Yet is he glad to  wait till every hand is joined and every heart made ready to arise
Tx:31.20 Then let us  wait an instant and be still, forgetting everything we thought we
W1:42.3  as possible to the time you go to sleep. It is better, however, to  wait until you can sit quietly by yourself at a time when you feel
W1:63.5  or two which you should devote to considering this. Do not, however,  wait for such an opportunity. No chance should be lost for
W1:72.13 Then we will  wait in quiet for His answer.
W1:72.20 Then  wait a minute or so in silence, preferably with your eyes closed, and
W1:75.7  saw it before. You do not know yet what it looks like. You merely  wait to have it shown to you. While you wait, repeat several times
W1:75.7  it looks like. You merely wait to have it shown to you. While you  wait, repeat several times slowly and in complete patience:
W1:75.9  You have forgiven the world. He will be with you as you watch and  wait. He will show you what true vision sees. It is His Will, and you
W1:75.9  what true vision sees. It is His Will, and you have joined with Him.  Wait patiently for Him. He will be there. The light has come. You
W1:75.10  you know you cannot fail because you trust in Him. Tell yourself you  wait in certainty to look upon the world He promised you. From this
W1:77.5 After this brief introductory phase,  wait quietly for the assurance that your request is granted. You have
W1:78.2  you see by not allowing sight to stop before it sees. We will not  wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently lift our
W1:79.7  which we have failed to recognize. We will ask what it is and  wait for the answer. We will be told. Then we will ask for the
W1:90.7 I need not  wait for this to be resolved. The answer to this problem is already
W1:94.6  attributes, both “good” and “bad,” you have ascribed to yourself and  wait in silent expectancy for the truth. God has Himself promised
W1:96.10  Wait patiently, and let Him speak to you about your Self, and what
W1:98.12  minutes you will spend again with Him. Repeat today's idea while you  wait for the glad time to come to you again. Repeat it often, and do
W1:104.3  which are within us now, for they are timeless. And we need not  wait to have them. They belong to us today. Therefore we will to have
W1:106.3  out to you in welcome and in love. Hear only Him today, and do not  wait to reach Him longer. Hear one Voice today.
W1:106.6  today, and offer Him your voice to speak to all the multitudes who  wait to hear the Word that He will speak today. Be ready for
W1:125.3  of God. It knows him not. Today we will not listen to the world, but  wait in silence for the Word of God.
W1:130.8  emptying your hands of all the petty treasures of this world. You  wait for God to help you as you say:
W1:131.7 Why  wait for Heaven? It is here today. Time is the great illusion; it is
W1:132.13 Release the world! Your real creations  wait for this release to give you fatherhood, not of illusions, but
W1:152.14 Then will we  wait in silence, giving up all self-deceptions as we humbly ask our
W1:152.15 In patience  wait for Him throughout the day and hourly invite Him with the words
W1:153.17  of our mission and His Love. And we will quietly sit by and  wait on Him and listen to His Voice and learn what He would have us
W1:154.8  do you become His messengers. You are appointed now. And yet you  wait to give the messages you have received, and so you do not know
W1:154.11  He needs our feet to bring us where He wills, that those who  wait in misery may be at last delivered. And He needs our will united
W1:R5.15  in the experience that comes from practice, not the means we use. We  wait for the experience and recognize that it is only here conviction
W1:182.7  in a world of alien thoughts. His patience has no limits. He will  wait until you hear His gentle Voice within you, calling you to let

W1:188.2 This light cannot be lost. Why  wait to find it in the future or believe it has been lost already or
W2:I.2 Now we attempt to let the exercise be merely a beginning. For we  wait in quiet expectation for our God and Father. He has promised He
W2:I.2  His promises are kept. We have come far along the road, and now we  wait for Him. We will continue spending time with Him each morning
W2:I.4  do we come to Him with but His Word upon our minds and hearts. And  wait for Him to take the step to us that He has told us, through His
W2:I.4  We say the words of invitation that His Voice suggests, and then we  wait for Him to come to us.
W2:I.5  from its accomplishment. For now we cannot fail. Sit silently and  wait upon your Father. He has willed to come to you when you have
W2:I.7 And now we  wait in silence, unafraid and certain of Your coming. We have sought
W2:221.1  silence. In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses of my mind, I  wait and listen for Your Voice. My Father, speak to me today. I come
W2:221.2 Now do we  wait in quiet. God is here because we wait together. I am sure that
W2:221.2 Now do we wait in quiet. God is here because we  wait together. I am sure that He will speak to you, and you will
W2:221.2  Accept my confidence, for it is yours. Our minds are joined. We  wait with one intent—to hear our Father's answer to our call, to
W2:WS.5  that time is almost over, and God's Son has but an instant more to  wait until his Father is remembered, dreams are done, eternity has
W2:279.1  established in their place. And now is freedom his already. Should I  wait in chains which have been severed for release, when God is
W2:289.2  here am I made ready for Your final step. Shall I demand that You  wait longer for Your Son to find the loveliness You planned to be the
W2:311.2 Father, we  wait with open mind today to hear Your Judgment of the Son You love.
W2:334.1 I will not  wait another day to find the treasures which my Father offers me.

W1:R2.3 There is a message  waiting for you. Be confident that you will receive it. Remember that

W1:132.5  make the world but came unwillingly to what was made already, hardly  waiting for your thoughts to give it meaning. Yet in truth you found

Tx:9.57  and while you leave your part of it empty, your eternal place merely  waits for your return. God, through His Voice, reminds you of it, and
Tx:9.103  and what he himself had created in the Name of his Father. Heaven  waits for his return, for it was created as the dwelling place of

Tx:11.95  There is no road to travel on and no time to travel through. For God  waits not for His Son in time, being forever unwilling to be without

Tx:13.10  Nor do you witness unto Him, for reality is witnessed to as one. God  waits your witness to His Son and to Himself. The miracles you do on

Tx:19.36  all the weary ones can come and find rest. Here is the rest that  waits for all after the journey. And it is brought nearer to all by

Tx:22.42  are here to let it be received. God's offer still is open, yet it  waits acceptance. From you who have accepted it is it received. Into
Tx:22.52  this confusion, so profound it cannot be described, the Holy Spirit  waits in gentle patience, as certain of the outcome as He is sure of
Tx:24.19  all your specialness and make you whole in mind and one with him. He  waits for your forgiveness only that he may return it unto you. It is
Tx:24.49  his holiness. See in him God's creation. For in him, his Father  waits for your acknowledgment that He created you as part of Him.
Tx:28.28 What  waits in perfect certainty beyond salvation is not our concern. For
Tx:28.36  falters and grows thin. Here can the lean years enter not, for time  waits not upon this feast, which has no end. For Love has set Its

Tx:28.61  and the Call to heal? Your savior waits for healing, and the world  waits with him. Nor are you apart from it. For healing will be one or
Tx:29.14  because of everything you have received. Yet He Who entered in but  waits for you to come where you invited Him to be. There is no other
Tx:29.39  of his birth and death. Forgiveness will not change him. Yet time  waits upon forgiveness that the things of time may disappear because
Tx:30.36 What cause have you for anger in a world which merely  waits your blessing to be free? If you be prisoner, then God Himself
W1:49.4  obscure your eternal link with God. Sink deep into the peace that  waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sounds and
W1:76.2  tells you once again how simple is salvation. Look for it where it  waits for you, and there it will be found. Look nowhere else, for it
W1:78.1  your eyes, you will not see the miracle beyond. Yet all the while it  waits for you in light, but you behold your grievances instead.
W1:78.3 He  waits for you behind your grievances, and as you lay them down, he
W1:100.10  reach Him now. What could you rather look upon in place of Him Who  waits that you may look on Him? What little thought has power to hold
W1:101.2  only death and pain, and it is this they ask for, for they know it  waits for them and it will seek them out and find them somewhere,
W1:122.6 Here is the answer! Would you stand outside while all of Heaven  waits for you within? Forgive and be forgiven. As you give, you will
W1:129.6  you choose instead you want indeed! Let it be given you today. It  waits but for your choosing it to take the place of all the things
W1:133.17 And then receive what  waits for everyone who reaches unencumbered to the gate of Heaven,
W1:135.12  it receives through listening to Wisdom that is not its own. It  waits until it has been taught what should be done and then proceeds
W1:136.16 And truth will come, for it has never been apart from us. It merely  waits for just this invitation which we give today. We introduce it
W1:153.11  own. And while you fail to teach what you have learned, salvation  waits and darkness holds the world in grim imprisonment. Nor will you
W1:159.7  No one will be turned away from this new home where his salvation  waits. No one is stranger to him. No one asks for anything of him
W1:R5.7 And it is This that  waits to meet us at the journey's ending. Every step we take brings

W1:190.8  little joys give way before the onslaught of the savage pain that  waits to end all joy in misery.
W1:192.2  Yet on earth you need the means to let illusion go. Creation merely  waits for your return to be acknowledged, not to be complete.
W2:WF.4  seeks to twist it to appearance that it likes. It merely looks and  waits and judges not. He who would not forgive must judge, for he
W2:270.1  acknowledges his Father, lets his dreams be brought to truth, and  waits expectantly the one remaining instant more of time, which ends
W2:WIRW.5  Spirit has no need of time when it has served His purpose. Now He  waits but that one instant more for God to take His final step, and
W2:317.1 I have a special place to fill—a role for me alone. Salvation  waits until I take this part as what I choose to do. Until I make
W2:355.1  keep Your Word You gave Your Son in exile. I am sure my treasure  waits for me, and I need but reach out my hand to find it. Even now
M:2.1  chosen to fulfill his role, they are ready to fulfill theirs. Time  waits on his choice but not whom he will serve. When he is ready to

Tx:9.35  simply the Holy Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them  waken, you will learn what waking means, and because you have willed
Tx:9.65  you think is real as long as you are asleep. Yet the instant you  waken, you know that everything that seemed to happen did not happen
Tx:9.67  Knowing them, you will have no wish to sleep but only the will to  waken and be glad. Dreams will be impossible, because you will want
Tx:13.44  himself in dreams when God has placed within him the glad call to  waken and be glad? He cannot separate himself from what is in him.
Tx:13.63  and learn of them how to be free of darkness. The light in you will  waken them, and they will not leave you asleep. The vision of Christ
Tx:16.42  that He would carry you across lifts you from time into eternity.  Waken from time and answer fearlessly the call of Him Who gave
Tx:18.18  would be gone. In dreams these features are not obscure. You seem to  waken, and the dream is gone. Yet what you fail to recognize is that
Tx:18.21  who calls on Him as means for the salvation of everyone. And He will  waken everyone through you who offered your relationship to Him. If

Tx:4.7  he offers his ideas. Many stand guard over their ideas because they  want to protect their thought systems as they are, and learning means
Tx:4.12  itself once you have made it, but it is not natural for you to  want to obey its laws unless you believe in them. The ego cannot make
Tx:4.50  enter immediately into any mind which truly wants it, but it must  want it truly. This means that it wants it without ambivalence, and
Tx:4.56  behavior is either strained or unpredictable. Yet this is what you  want. This is what you are fighting to keep and what you are vigilant
Tx:4.59  arises ultimately from a sense of being deprived of something you  want and do not have. Know you are deprived of nothing except by your

Tx:4.74 Indeed, many of the things you  want to learn are chosen because their value will not last. The ego

Tx:4.90  the little gap. Your gratitude to each other is the only gift I  want. I will bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your

Tx:4.99  nevertheless created beings who have everything individually but who  want to share it to increase their joy. Nothing that is real can be
Tx:4.101  returned to Him, which would clearly be impossible, but He does  want revelation brought to others. This cannot be done with the
Tx:5.3  beneficent thought of any of your brothers anywhere. You should  want to bless them in return out of gratitude. You do not have to
Tx:5.53  without protest. It means that you cannot be hurt and do not  want to show your brother anything except your wholeness. Show him
Tx:5.55  You are more than your brother's keeper. In fact, you do not  want to keep him. You must learn to see him as he is and know that he
Tx:5.66  it wants, just as you can. That is why the question, “What do you  want?” must be answered. You are answering it every minute and every

Tx:5.92  side with its separateness. This willingness means that you do not  want to be healed.
Tx:5.96  I can also decide otherwise. I will to decide otherwise, because I  want to be at peace. I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit
Tx:6.8  offered a different interpretation of attack and one which I do  want to share with you. If you will believe it, you will help me to
Tx:6.9  persecution. This is not a lesson which the Sons of God should  want to teach if they are to realize their own salvation. Rather,
Tx:6.22  to follow me at the time. I emphasize this only because I do not  want you to allow any fear to enter into the thought system toward

Tx:6.64  It is a real foundation stone of the thought system I teach and  want you to teach. You cannot perform miracles without believing it,

Tx:6.95 The third step, then, is a statement of what you  want to believe and entails a willingness to relinquish everything

Tx:7.58  one who has everything wants the ego. Its own maker, then, does not  want it. Rejection is therefore the only decision which the ego could
Tx:7.60  exactly as it is, and it is meaningless. The Holy Spirit does not  want you to understand conflict; He wants you to realize that,
Tx:7.63  without splitting them. If they cannot coexist in peace and if you  want peace, you must give up the idea of conflict entirely and for
Tx:7.67  means that you have not judged sanity as wholly desirable. If you  want something else, you will make something else, but because it is
Tx:7.72  you make is determined by what you think you are, and what you  want to be is what you think you are. Therefore, what you want to be
Tx:7.72  what you want to be is what you think you are. Therefore, what you  want to be determines every response you make.
Tx:7.73  they were made together. Teach no one that he is what you would not  want to be. Your brother is the mirror in which you will see the
Tx:7.74 You made perception, and it must last as long as you  want it. Illusions are investments. They will last as long as you
Tx:7.78  unless you perceived it as a means of depriving you of something you  want. Yet you cannot lose anything unless you did not value it and
Tx:7.78  lose anything unless you did not value it and therefore did not  want it. This makes you feel deprived of it, and by projecting your
Tx:7.82  law is perceived as a way of getting rid of something it does not  want. To the Holy Spirit, it is the fundamental law of sharing by
Tx:7.84  devising ways which seem to diminish conflict, because it does not  want you to find conflict so intolerable that you will insist on
Tx:7.85  fallacy is the idea that you can get rid of something you do not  want by giving it away. Giving it is how you keep it. The belief that
Tx:7.98  possibly maintain it. If you really saw this result, you could not  want it. The only reason why you could possibly want any part of it
Tx:7.98  you could not want it. The only reason why you could possibly  want any part of it is because you do not see the whole of it. You
Tx:7.100  is not whether what the Holy Spirit says is true, but whether you  want to listen to what He says.
Tx:7.103  your strength. As long as you avoid His guidance in any way, you  want to be weak. Yet weakness is frightening. What else, then, can

Tx:8.3  to evaluate them in terms of their results to you. If you do not  want them on the basis of loss of peace, they will be removed from
Tx:8.5  of learning failure since it means that you did not get what you  want. The curriculum of the Atonement is the opposite of the
Tx:8.5  its outcome. If the outcome of yours has made you unhappy and if you  want a different one, a change in the curriculum is obviously
Tx:8.11 The ego wants to teach you that you  want to oppose God's Will. This unnatural lesson cannot be learned,
Tx:8.16  been given. Ask for light and learn that you are light. If you  want understanding and enlightenment, you will learn it, because your
Tx:8.29 Do you not think the world needs peace as much as you do? Do you not  want to give it to the world as much as you want to receive it? For
Tx:8.29  as you do? Do you not want to give it to the world as much as you  want to receive it? For unless you do, you will not receive it. If

Tx:8.68  lie your only hope for release. But what other hope would you  want? Freedom from illusions lies only in not believing them. There
Tx:8.73  you do not realize that it is entirely out of keeping with what you  want. This witness, then, appears to be innocent and trustworthy,
Tx:8.74 A more honest statement would be as follows: Those who  want the ego are predisposed to defend it. Therefore, their choice of

Tx:8.78  even if it is not true? You have had many instances of how what you  want can distort what you see and hear. No one can doubt the ego's

Tx:8.95  How sensible can your messages be when you ask for what you do not  want? Yet as long as you are afraid of your will, this is precisely
Tx:8.96 You do not ask only for what you  want. This is solely because you are afraid you might receive it, and
Tx:8.98  Many people seek both, but it is still true that they do not  want them. Can you ask the Holy Spirit for “gifts” such as these and

Tx:8.99  without a cause, and God is the only Cause. God is Love, and you do  want Him. This is your will. Ask for this and you will be answered
Tx:8.103  can be made into a very persistent goal, even though you do not  want it. But consider the result of this strange decision. You are
Tx:8.103  this strange decision. You are devoting your mind to what you do not  want. How real can this devotion be? If you do not want it, it was
Tx:8.103  what you do not want. How real can this devotion be? If you do not  want it, it was never created. If it was never created, it is
Tx:8.108  then, that what you request of the Holy Spirit is what you really  want, but you are still afraid of it. Should this be the case, your
Tx:8.108  this be the case, your attainment of it would no longer be what you  want, even if it is. This accounts for why certain specific forms of

Tx:9.8  eternity. You do not need to learn this, but you do need to learn to  want this, and for this all learning was made. This is the Holy
Tx:9.37  understanding. Could you but accept one of them, you would not  want anything the world has to offer. Everything else would be
Tx:9.47  nothing unworthy of God is worthy of you. Choose, then, what you  want in these terms and accept nothing that you would not offer to

Tx:11.8  you will be healed. For you will recognize God's answer as you  want it to be, and if you want it in truth, it will be truly yours.
Tx:11.8  For you will recognize God's answer as you want it to be, and if you  want it in truth, it will be truly yours. Every appeal you answer in
Tx:11.19 You still  want what God wills, and no nightmare can defeat a Child of God in
Tx:11.23  at learning how to offer to the Holy Spirit everything you do not  want. He knows what to do with it. You do not know how to use what He
Tx:11.25  a brother insists on having you do something you think you do not  want to do. The very fact of his insistence should tell you that he
Tx:11.33  without meaning of any kind. For it was made out of what you do not  want, projected from your mind because you were afraid of it.
Tx:11.55 You do not  want the world. The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it
Tx:11.66  recognize neither. For you will think they are the same because you  want them both. The mind always strives for integration, and if it is
Tx:11.67  behold his witnesses. This is why you find what you seek. What you  want in yourself, you will make manifest by projection, and you will

Tx:11.68  you are projecting what you do not want, it is still because you do  want it. This leads directly to dissociation, for it represents the

Tx:11.98  but by identifying with the ego could you hold dear what you do not  want?
Tx:12.5  but you have not uncovered its source. For the ego does  want to kill you, and if you identify with it, you must believe its
Tx:12.8  the futility of the ego and its offerings, but though you do not  want the ego, you do not look upon the alternative with gladness. You
Tx:12.12  wish caused the separation. You have protected it because you do not  want the separation healed, and you realize that, by removing the
Tx:12.12  and burning love of God, and His for you. This is what you really  want to hide.
Tx:12.61 You do not really  want the world you see, for it has disappointed you since time began.

Tx:12.67  then awaken to it. Your first exchange of what you made for what you  want is the exchange of nightmares for the happy dreams of love. In
Tx:12.72  journey that would lead away from light, remember what you really  want and say,
Tx:13.40  you will need no contrast to help you realize that this is what you  want, and only this. Fear not the Holy Spirit will fail in what your
Tx:13.42  joining your minds with His, cannot be broken. You may believe you  want it broken, and this belief does interfere with the deep peace in
Tx:13.65  an escape from what the other does not offer you. You do not  want either alone, for without both, you do not see yourselves as
Tx:13.69  you will think he does. It is impossible to offer what you do not  want without this penalty. The cost of giving is receiving. Either it

Tx:13.74 All this arises because they do not believe that what they  want is good. Yet will was given them because it is holy and will
Tx:13.74  effort, strain, or the impossible burden of deciding what they  want and need alone.
Tx:13.88  this is your only function, and you must learn that it is all you  want to learn.
Tx:13.91  against your function in Heaven and consider carefully whether you  want to make decisions here. Your function here is only to decide
Tx:13.91  here. Your function here is only to decide against deciding what you  want in recognition that you do not know. How, then, can you decide
Tx:14.24 What do you  want? Light or darkness, knowledge or ignorance are yours, but not
Tx:14.27  on bringing what is undesirable to the desirable; what you do not  want to what you do. You will realize that salvation must come to you
Tx:14.62  to Him Who teaches light He will accept from you because you do not  want it. And He will gladly exchange each one for the bright lesson
Tx:14.64  You need only recognize that everything you learned you do not  want. Ask to be taught and do not use your experiences to confirm
Tx:14.73  them can really learn at all. And for this, it must be peace they  want and nothing else. Whenever you think you know, peace will depart
Tx:14.74 If you  want peace, you must abandon the teacher of attack. The Teacher of
Tx:15.35  Will is so. The holy instant is this one and every one. The one you  want it to be it is. The one you would not have it be is lost to you.
Tx:15.35  Yet you cannot bring it into glad awareness while you do not  want it, for it holds the whole release from littleness.
Tx:15.36  littleness instead, by so much is it far from you. By so much as you  want it will you bring it nearer. Think not that you can find
Tx:15.38  conditions. You can claim the holy instant any time and anywhere you  want it. In your practice, try to give over every plan you have
Tx:15.42  communication holds value to you. Ask yourselves honestly, “Would I  want to have perfect communication, and am I wholly willing to let
Tx:15.71 In these insane relationships, the attraction of what you do not  want seems to be much stronger than the attraction of what you do.

Tx:15.86  to recognize as wholly without gratification what you think you  want. The body is the symbol of the ego, as the ego is the symbol of
Tx:15.91  of this relationship becomes the only truth that you could ever  want. All truth is here.
Tx:15.95  but as different manifestations of the same idea, and one you do not  want, they go together. The idea is simply this—you believe that it
Tx:15.109  with Him they remember the only relationship they ever had and ever  want to have.

Tx:16.3 Your part is only to remember this—you do not  want anything you value to come of the relationship. You will neither
Tx:16.16 No evidence will convince you of the truth of what you do not  want. Yet your relationship with Him is real and has been
Tx:16.49  no extension. Each partner tries to sacrifice the self he does not  want for one he thinks he would prefer. And he feels guilty for the
Tx:16.52  perceived the special relationship as a triumph over God, would you  want it? Let us not think of its fearful nature nor of the guilt it
Tx:16.54  has triumphed over content and love has lost its meaning. Would you  want this to be possible, even apart from its evident impossibility?
Tx:16.55  and His greatness. In the name of your completion, you do not  want this. For every idol which you raise to place before Him stands
Tx:16.56  they are, and you will fail to do this to the extent to which you  want them to be true. And to the same extent you are denying truth,
Tx:16.71  it has not gone because you think it serves some purpose that you  want fulfilled. And it must also be that this purpose could not be
Tx:17.13 How much do you  want salvation? It will give you the real world, trembling with
Tx:17.21  the relationship so you can see it more and more. For you will  want it more and more and become increasingly unwilling to let it be
Tx:17.58  uncertain, the first thing to consider, very simply, is, “What do I  want to come of this? What is it for?” The clarification of the goal
Tx:17.58  know what it wants to come of it. It is aware of what it does not  want, but only that. It has no positive goal at all.
Tx:17.60 The value of deciding in advance what you  want to happen is simply that you will perceive the situation as a
Tx:17.76 Would you not  want to make a holy instant of every situation? For such is the gift
Tx:18.17  are perceptual temper tantrums in which you literally scream, “I  want it thus!” And thus it seems to be. And yet the dream cannot
Tx:18.18  power to make a world as you would have it be, and that because you  want it, you see it. And while you see it, you do not doubt that it
Tx:18.32  prepare your minds for it only to the extent of recognizing that you  want it above all else. It is not necessary that you do more; indeed,
Tx:18.44  must be loving. Their message is, “Thy will be done,” and not, “I  want it otherwise.” The alignment of means and purpose is an
Tx:18.54  impossible to act out fantasies. For it is still the fantasies you  want, and they have nothing to do with what the body does. It does
Tx:18.62 It is possible because you  want it. The sudden expansion of the self which takes place with your
Tx:19.25  As an essential part of what the ego thinks you are, you will always  want it. And only an avenger with a mind unlike your own could stamp
Tx:19.26  and will be repeated endlessly.] For what you think is real you  want and will not let it go. An error, on the other hand, is not
Tx:19.26  other hand, is not attractive. What you see clearly as a mistake you  want corrected.
Tx:19.41 Why would you  want peace homeless? What do you think that it must dispossess to
Tx:19.57  be the symbol of sin while you believe that it can get you what you  want. While you believe that it can give you pleasure, you will also
Tx:19.63  but barriers you place between your will and its accomplishment? You  want communion, not the feast of fear. You want salvation, not the
Tx:19.63  its accomplishment? You want communion, not the feast of fear. You  want salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you want your Father, not
Tx:19.63  feast of fear. You want salvation, not the pain of guilt. And you  want your Father, not a little mound of clay, to be your home. In
Tx:19.73  it has no feeling. It transmits to you the feelings that you  want. Like any communication medium, the body receives and sends the
Tx:20.39  It will be given you to see your brother's worth when all you  want for him is peace. And what you want for him, you will receive.
Tx:20.39  brother's worth when all you want for him is peace. And what you  want for him, you will receive.
Tx:20.40  estimate the worth of him who offers peace to you? What would you  want except his offering? His worth has been established by his
Tx:20.53  a snowflake, but without its loveliness. Is this the substitute you  want for the eternal blessing of the holy instant and its unlimited
Tx:20.53  the body and quietly transcend it, rising to welcome what you really  want. And from His holy temple, look you not back on what you have
Tx:20.56  than its unholy seeming counterpart, and you have learned you really  want but one. This is no time for sadness. Perhaps confusion, but
Tx:20.59  to leave the means to Him Who changed the purpose. You recognize you  want the goal. Are you not also willing to accept the means? If you
Tx:20.59  you are inconsistent. A purpose is attained by means, and if you  want a purpose, you must be willing to want the means as well. How
Tx:20.59  attained by means, and if you want a purpose, you must be willing to  want the means as well. How can one be sincere and say, “I want this
Tx:20.59  to want the means as well. How can one be sincere and say, “I  want this above all else, and yet I do not want to learn the means to
Tx:20.59  be sincere and say, “I want this above all else, and yet I do not  want to learn the means to get it”?
Tx:20.68 Do you not  want to know your own Identity? Would you not happily exchange your
Tx:20.74  held, they disappear. Therefore, the question never is whether you  want them, but always, do you want the purpose which they serve? This
Tx:20.74  the question never is whether you want them, but always, do you  want the purpose which they serve? This world seems to hold out many
Tx:21.5  joyously and are remembered gladly. What gives you happiness you  want to learn and not forget. It is not this you would deny. Your
Tx:21.18  this exchange effected and maintained. Here is the world you do not  want brought to the one you do. And here the one you do is given you
Tx:21.18  to the one you do. And here the one you do is given you because you  want it. Yet for this, the power of your wanting must first be
Tx:21.30  its effects, but it is not your purpose, and you no longer  want it. No one allows a purpose to be replaced while he desires it,
Tx:21.34  means to teach you that the vision of a holy relationship is all you  want to see. Then will you give your faith to holiness, desiring and
Tx:21.46  you in rage at your “presumptuous” wish to look within, you do not  want. A few remaining trinkets still seem to shine and catch your
Tx:21.49  by all the ego's raucous screams and senseless ravings to those who  want to hear it. Perception is a choice and not a fact. But on this
Tx:21.66  must be dispelled by reason. Reason assures you Heaven is what you  want, and all you want. Listen to Him Who speaks with reason and
Tx:21.66  by reason. Reason assures you Heaven is what you want, and all you  want. Listen to Him Who speaks with reason and brings your reason

Tx:21.77  this decision leads to its effects is not your problem. But what you  want to see must be your choice. This is a course in cause and not
Tx:21.79 Is this what I would see? Do I  want this?
Tx:21.81  this same desire as a little glint of sin attracts you. And you can  want to see a sinless world and let an “enemy” tempt you to use the
Tx:21.82  the option to change your mind again. When it is this you do not  want, the rest are wholly answered.
Tx:22.45  And you need no defense. Everything that needs defense you do not  want, for anything that needs defense will weaken you.
Tx:22.51 Do you  want freedom of the body or of the mind? For both you cannot have.
Tx:22.62  or hurt yourself without the other feeling pain. And this belief you  want. Yet wherein lies its value except in the desire to attack in
Tx:23.8  conceivable? And if it were, is this a victory that you would  want? The death of God, if it were possible, would be your death. Is
Tx:23.29  from this most treacherous and cunning enemy? It must be what you  want but never found. And now you “understand” the reason why you
Tx:23.30 But what is it you  want that needs his death? Can you be sure your murderous attack is
Tx:23.43  of any kind. To compromise is to accept but part of what you  want—to take a little and give up the rest. Salvation gives up
Tx:23.44  for this and love for that and understand forgiveness. Would you not  want to recognize assault upon your peace in any form, if only thus
Tx:23.54  share their Father's purpose and who know that it is theirs! They  want for nothing. Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the light
Tx:24.55 Choose, then, his body or his holiness as what you  want to see, and which you choose is yours to look upon. Yet will you
Tx:24.70  feel it with your hands and hear it move. Here is an image that you  want to be yourself. It is the means to make your wish come true. It
Tx:25.6 Perception is a choice of what you  want yourself to be—the world you want to live in and the state in
Tx:25.6  is a choice of what you want yourself to be—the world you  want to live in and the state in which you think your mind will be
Tx:25.12  can hold is that you learn it gave you no rewards that you would  want to keep. For only thus will you be willing to relinquish it and
Tx:25.23  see what you believe is there, and you believe it there because you  want it there. Perception has no other law than this. The rest but
Tx:25.29 What then is justified? What do you  want? For these two questions are the same. And when you see them as
Tx:25.29  to extend your own forgiveness. Such its purpose is to those who  want to see peace and forgiveness descend on them and offer them the
Tx:25.62  belief that God's insanity would make you sane and give you what you  want. That either God or you must lose to madness because your aims
Tx:25.84  To give a problem to the Holy Spirit to solve for you means that you  want it solved. To keep it for yourself to solve without His help is
Tx:26.15  you think are great and cannot be resolved. For there are those you  want to suffer loss and no one whom you wish to be preserved from
Tx:26.16  problems. You will not keep one, for pain in any form you will not  want. And you will see each little hurt resolved before the Holy
Tx:26.37  the truth the past is gone and cannot be returned to you? And do you  want that fearful instant kept, when Heaven seemed to disappear and
Tx:26.58  be afraid of it. Is fear a treasure? Can uncertainty be what you  want? Or is it a mistake about your will and what you really are? Let
Tx:26.70  see it for. If you would keep a little space between you still, you  want a little time in which forgiveness is withheld a little while.
Tx:27.34  Nor delay an instant in deciding that it is the only one you  want. It does not stand for double concepts. Though it is but half
Tx:27.39  The others are not true. What can the body get that you would  want the most of all? It is your servant and your friend. But tell it
Tx:27.39  of all? It is your servant and your friend. But tell it what you  want, and it will serve you lovingly and well.” And this is not a

Tx:27.78  them away for senseless things it does not need and does not even  want. It hires other bodies, that they may protect it, and collect
Tx:27.84  blaming them, you will not see the cause of what they do because you  want the guilt to rest on them. How childish is this petulant device
Tx:27.89  you pay no heed at all. For they attest the thing you do not  want to know. They seem to keep it secret from you. Yet you need but
Tx:28.25  what He would have you learn and shows you its effects are what you  want. In His forgiving dreams are the effects of yours undone and
Tx:28.30  Fight not His coming with illusions, for it is His coming that you  want above all things that seem to glisten in the dream.
Tx:28.46  for substitutes when he perceives he has lost nothing? Who would  want to have the “benefits” of sickness when he has received the
Tx:28.49  believe you are the dream you share. And fearing it, you will not  want to know your own Identity because you think that it is fearful.
Tx:28.51  scrap and shred of evidence, and make a witness to the world you  want. Let not the body's ears and eyes perceive these countless
Tx:28.55  you give because it has no feeling. It behaves in ways you  want but never makes the choice. It is not born and does not die. It
Tx:28.56 The thing you hate and fear and loathe and  want, the body does not know. You send it forth to seek for
Tx:28.56  you. Yet you have made of it a symbol for the limitations which you  want your mind to have and see and keep.
Tx:28.60  a little gap, would be a lack. And it is only there that he could  want for something he has not. A space where God is not, a gap
Tx:29.25  The choice is not between which dreams to keep, but only if you  want to live in dreams or to awaken from them. Thus it is the miracle
Tx:29.35  to bless and lead God's Son unto his Father's house. Would you not  want to be a friend to him, created by his Father as His home? If God
Tx:29.43  For all your pain comes simply from a futile search for what you  want, insisting where it must be found. What if it is not there? Do

Tx:30.2  ready. Do not fight yourself. But think about the kind of day you  want and tell yourself there is a way in which this very day can
Tx:30.2  day can happen just like that. Then try again to have the day you  want.
Tx:30.7  quiet moment for reflection, tell yourself again the kind of day you  want, the feelings you would have, the things you want to happen to
Tx:30.7  kind of day you want, the feelings you would have, the things you  want to happen to you, and the things you would experience and say,
Tx:30.10  will provoke attack unless you quickly straighten out your mind to  want an answer that will work. Be certain this has happened if you
Tx:30.11 3. Remember once again the day you  want and recognize that something has occurred which is not part of
Tx:30.14  the question asks will gain momentum until you believe the day you  want is one in which you get your answer to your question. And you
Tx:30.14  it, for it would destroy the day by robbing you of what you really  want. This can be very hard to realize when once you have decided by
Tx:30.20  you that help is not being thrust upon you but is something that you  want and that you need, because you do not like the way you feel.
Tx:30.22  you further. You are not coerced but merely hope to get a thing you  want. And you can say in perfect honesty,
Tx:30.23 I  want another way to look at this.
Tx:30.24  changed your mind about the day and have remembered what you really  want. Its purpose has no longer been obscured by the insane belief
Tx:30.24  Its purpose has no longer been obscured by the insane belief you  want it for the goal of being right when you are wrong. Thus is the
Tx:30.24  awareness, for you cannot be in conflict when you ask for what you  want and see that it is this for which you ask.
Tx:30.31  well is but a fact. For you and your advisor must agree on what you  want before it can occur. It is but this agreement which permits all
Tx:30.31  and your advisor for yourself and for the world as well. The day you  want you offer to the world, for it will be what you have asked for
Tx:30.32  one reminder that you keep in mind, and you will have the day you  want and give it to the world by having it yourself. Your judgment
Tx:30.34  will. God would not have His Son made prisoner to what he does not  want. He joins with you in willing you be free. And to oppose Him is
Tx:30.38  as if you said, “I have no need of everything. This little thing I  want, and it will be as everything to me.” And this must fail to
Tx:30.39  two of what is one? And can the limitless be limited? You do not  want an idol. It is not your will to have one. It will not bestow on
Tx:30.39  on you the gift you seek. When you decide upon the form of what you  want, you lose the understanding of its purpose. So you see your will
Tx:30.41 It never is the idol that you  want. But what you think it offers you, you want indeed and have the
Tx:30.41  is the idol that you want. But what you think it offers you, you  want indeed and have the right to ask for. Nor could it be possible
Tx:30.41  forms made but to fill a gap which is not there. It is not this you  want. Creation gives no separate person and no separate thing the
Tx:30.54  brought about when you decide one very simple thing—you do not  want whatever you believe an idol gives. For thus the Son of God
Tx:30.55  let your will be done and seek no longer for the things you do not  want. And you are asked to let yourself be free of all the dreams of
Tx:30.56  no need of them. They offer him no single thing that he could ever  want. He is delivered from illusions by his will and but restored to
Tx:30.63  Perhaps they still look back and think they see an idol that they  want. Yet has their path been surely set away from idols toward
Tx:30.91  appeal which makes them harder to resist than those you would not  want to have reality. Temptation, then, is nothing more than this—a
Tx:30.92  healing. But there is no miracle that can be given you unless you  want it. Choose what you would heal, and He Who gives all miracles
Tx:31.11  decision on what you would learn and have an outcome that you do not  want? It is the recognition that it is a state of mind unwanted that
Tx:31.11  outcome seen to be preferred. You are deceived if you believe you  want disaster and disunity and pain. Hear not the call for this
Tx:31.15  as separate roles, each seeming to possess advantages you would not  want to lose. So in their fusion there appears to be the hope of

W1:22.2 It is from this savage fantasy that you  want to escape. Is it not joyous news to hear that it is not real? Is
W1:22.6 Is this the world I really  want to see?
W1:23.2  thoughts, you must learn that it is these thoughts which you do not  want. There is no point in lamenting the world. There is no point in
W1:24.4  concerned. The emphasis should be on uncovering the outcome you  want. You will quickly realize that you have a number of goals in
W1:25.4  in your immediate vicinity. What you do not understand is what you  want to reach him for. And it is this that makes your contact with
W1:27.2  that some sort of sacrifice is being asked of you when you say you  want to see above all else. If you become uneasy about the lack of
W1:27.7 The real question is how often will you remember? How much do you  want today's idea to be true? Answer one of these questions, and you
W1:28.2  wonder why it is important to say, for example, “Above all else I  want to see this table differently.” In itself it is not important at
W1:28.3 When you say, “Above all else I  want to see this table differently,” you are making a commitment to
W1:28.4  ask questions and receive the answers. In saying, “Above all else I  want to see this table differently,” you are committing yourself to
W1:28.9 Above all else, I  want to see this ______ differently.
W1:30.2  we are trying to see in the world what is in our minds, and what we  want to recognize is there. Thus we are trying to join with what we
W1:32.1  made it up. You will see it or not see it, as you wish. While you  want it, you will see it; when you no longer want it, it will not be
W1:32.1  as you wish. While you want it, you will see it; when you no longer  want it, it will not be there for you to see.

W1:40.2  can practice quite well under almost any circumstance, if you really  want to.
W1:45.5  try to understand that only what God would have us do is what we  want to do. And we will also try to remember that we cannot fail in

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

W1:99.15  and peace. You cannot lose the gifts your Father gave. You do not  want to be another self. You have no function that is not of God.
W1:102.1 You do not  want to suffer. You may think it buys you something and may still
W1:102.1  something and may still believe a little that it buys you what you  want. Yet this belief is surely shaken now, at least enough to let
W1:104.9  what belongs to me in truth. God's gifts of joy and peace are all I  want.
W1:106.1  not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing that you really  want; if you will listen with an open mind, which has not told you

W1:129.3  and know they have no ending, and they will remain exactly as you  want them throughout time?
W1:129.5  And yet how near are you when you exchange it for the world you  want. Now is the last step certain; now you stand an instant's space
W1:129.5  you but look forward, never back to see again the world you do not  want. Here is the world that comes to take its place as you unbind

W1:131.19 Today I seek and find all that I  want. My single purpose offers it to me. No one can fail who asks to
W1:132.3  free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what you do not  want to find. The present now remains the only time. Here in the

W1:164.9  see the value your acceptance gives the world. But this you surely  want—you can exchange all suffering for joy this very day. Practice

W1:I2.2  words become of little consequence. You will be sure of what you  want and what is valueless.
W1:181.9  we will behold a wholly sinless world. When seeing this is all we  want to see, when this is all we seek for in the name of true
W1:185.2  changed should any two agree these words express the only thing they  want.
W1:185.5 To mean you  want the peace of God is to renounce all dreams. For no one means

W1:185.10 You  want the peace of God. And so do all who seem to seek for dreams. For
W1:185.10  request with deep sincerity. For thus you reach to what they really  want and join your own intent with what they seek above all things,
W1:190.6  to change your mind and choose the joy of God as what you really  want. Your Self is radiant in this holy joy, unchanged, unchanging,
W1:196.7  to some extent to you. From there you can at least consider if you  want to go along this painful path. Until this shift has been
W1:196.9  the most is your salvation. You are strong, and it is strength you  want. And you are free and glad of freedom. You have sought to be
W1:200.11  in them. The peace of God is ours, and only this will we accept and  want. Peace be to us today. For we have found a simple, happy way to
W1:R6.9 This thought I do not  want. I choose instead….
W1:205.1 [185] I  want the peace of God. The peace of God is everything I want. The
W1:205.1 [185] I want the peace of God. The peace of God is everything I  want. The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here,
W2:225.1  and You have given all Your love to me. I must return it, for I  want it mine in full awareness, blazing in my mind, and keeping it

W2:251.2  denied ourselves You have restored, and only that is what we really  want.

W2:254.2  step back and look at them, and then we let them go. We do not  want what they would bring with them. And so we do not choose to keep
W2:257.1  great depression. Let us therefore be determined to remember what we  want today that we may unify our thoughts and actions meaningfully
W2:258.2  the way that leads to You. We have no goal but this. What could we  want but to remember You? What could we seek but our Identity?

W2:339.1  bring him suffering. Let us resolve today to ask for what we really  want, and only this, that we may spend this day in fearlessness,
W2:347.1 Father, I  want what goes against my will and do not want what is my will to
W2:347.1 Father, I want what goes against my will and do not  want what is my will to have. Straighten my mind, my Father. It is
W2:349.1  my own. It will be given me because I have chosen it as the gift I  want to give. Father, Your gifts are mine. Each one that I accept
W2:358.1 You Who remember what I really am alone remember what I really  want. You speak for God, and so You speak for me. And what You give

Tx:I.3 This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this  way:
Tx:1.18  It is the maximal service one individual can render another. It is a  way of loving your neighbor as yourself. The doer recognizes his own

Tx:1.48  brothers, for this is the plan of the Atonement. Miracles are the  way in which minds which serve the spirit unite with Christ for the

Tx:1.102  is limited or defined by what you want it to do. Relating is a  way of achieving an outcome. The danger of defenses lies in their
Tx:1.106  reality according to false internal needs. Twist reality in any  way, and you are perceiving destructively. Reality was lost through
Tx:2.18  the ability of anything which is not of God to affect you in any  way.
Tx:2.22  negative device; it results in positive miscreation. That is the  way the mentally ill do employ it. But remember a very early thought

Tx:2.42  loss. This is the same mistake all the separated ones make in one  way or another. They cannot believe that a defense which cannot
Tx:2.43  use for attack is lost. Since this means they can be used only one  way, they become much stronger and much more dependable. They no
Tx:2.47  will realize that this is not true. Everything is limited in some  way by the manner of its creation. Free will can temporize and is
Tx:2.48  begins to recognize, however dimly, that there must be a better  way. As this recognition becomes more firmly established, it becomes

Tx:2.59  if it is truly used, it will inevitably be expressed in whatever  way is most helpful to the receiver[, not the giver]. This means that
Tx:2.69  This is because healing rests on charity, and charity is a  way of perceiving the perfection of another even if he cannot

Tx:2.71 The  way in which both of these perceptions are stated clearly implies
Tx:2.94  used to miraculous thinking, but they can be trained to think that  way. All miracle workers need that kind of training. I cannot let
Tx:3.6 3. Another  way of stating the above point is: Never confuse right- with
Tx:3.7  an affirmation of the truth. Only right-mindedness can create in a  way that has any real effect. Pragmatically, what has no real effect
Tx:3.9  at all. “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” in no  way evaluates what they do. It is strictly limited to an appeal to
Tx:3.14  beating a child. Can you believe that the Father really thinks this  way? It is so essential that all such thinking be dispelled that we
Tx:3.15  believe in karmic retribution. His Divine Mind does not create that  way. He does not hold the evil deeds of a man even against himself.
Tx:3.21  frightened people are apt to be vicious. Sacrificing another in any  way is a clear cut violation of God's own injunction that man should
Tx:3.22  “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God” is another  way of saying the same thing.
Tx:3.28  They do not suffer from the distortions of the separated ones. The  way to correct all such distortions is to withdraw your faith from
Tx:3.31  and this means that it is not whole. The miracle is a  way of perceiving, not of knowing. It is the right answer to a
Tx:3.44  willed only to know. Afterwards it willed ambiguously, and the only  way out of ambiguity is clear perception. The mind returns to its
Tx:3.49  it under my guidance. Only your misperceptions stand in your own  way. Without them your choice is certain. Sane perception induces
Tx:3.56 Prayer is a  way of asking for something. Prayer is the medium of miracles, but
Tx:3.62  does not matter in the end whether you judge right or wrong. Either  way, you are placing your belief in the unreal. This cannot be
Tx:3.63  you and your brothers are, you will realize that judging them in any  way is without meaning. In fact, their meaning is lost to you
Tx:3.70  question of authorship. All fear comes ultimately and sometimes by  way of very devious routes from the denial of Authorship. The offense
Tx:3.71 There is no man who does not feel that he is imprisoned in some  way. If this is the result of his own free will, he must regard his
Tx:3.74  absolutely no sense. The whole picture is one in which man acts in a  way he himself realizes is self-destructive but which he does not
Tx:4.26  only perceive it to see that it does happen. If it can occur that  way in the present, why is it surprising that it occurred that way in
Tx:4.26  that way in the present, why is it surprising that it occurred that  way in the past? Psychology rests on the principle of the continuity
Tx:4.26  can work, provided you fully recognize that it need not work that  way. Why are you surprised that something happened in the dim past
Tx:4.28  necessary, you will merely know God. Belief that there is another  way is the loftiest idea of which ego thinking is capable. That is
Tx:4.33 The ego believes it is completely on its own, which is merely another  way of describing how it originated. This is such a fearful state
Tx:4.40 The more recent ecological emphases are but another ingenious  way of trying to impose order on chaos. We have already credited the
Tx:4.45 In its characteristically upside-down  way, the ego has taken the impulses from the superconscious and
Tx:4.69  and one to which it devotes its maximum vigilance. This is not the  way a balanced mind holds together. Its control is unconscious. The
Tx:4.75  as it does with all issues that touch on the real question in any  way. By compromising in connection with all tangential questions, it
Tx:4.87  because the process itself demonstrates that there is another  way. Conditioning by rewards has always been more effective than
Tx:4.89  than yours in me at the moment, but it will not always be that  way. Your mission is very simple. You have been chosen to live so as
Tx:4.93  ego and joy with the Soul. You have conditioned yourselves the other  way around. A far greater reward, however, will break through any
Tx:4.96  it perceives as related. In contrast the Soul reacts in the same  way to everything it knows is true and does not respond at all to
Tx:4.103  confusion than to anything else because it is too often misused as a  way of exerting the ego's domination over other egos, rather than as
Tx:4.105  of others if in a situation calling for healing you think of it this  way:

Tx:5.21  Guidance is evaluative, because it implies that there is a right  way and also a wrong way, one to be chosen and the other to be
Tx:5.21  because it implies that there is a right way and also a wrong  way, one to be chosen and the other to be avoided. By choosing one,
Tx:5.23  is different. Choosing means divided will. The Holy Spirit is one  way of choosing. This way is in you because there is also another
Tx:5.23  means divided will. The Holy Spirit is one way of choosing. This  way is in you because there is also another way. God did not leave
Tx:5.23  way of choosing. This way is in you because there is also another  way. God did not leave His Children comfortless, even though they
Tx:5.23  is stronger than the call to depart, but it speaks in a different  way.
Tx:5.24  because of what it reminds you of. It brings to your mind the other  way, remaining quiet even in the midst of the turmoil you have made
Tx:5.26 The Holy Spirit is the  way in which God's Will can be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Both
Tx:5.28  unequivocal, because it hears only one voice and answers in only one  way. You are the light of the world with me. Rest does not come from
Tx:5.29  Biblical statement, “My yoke is easy and my burden light” in this  way: “Let us join together, for my message is light.”
Tx:5.30  you had grown vaguely aware of the fact that there is another  way or another Voice. Having given this invitation to the Holy
Tx:5.32 The  way to learn to know your brother is by perceiving the Holy Spirit in
Tx:5.40  separation can be given away, just as the idea of unity can. Either  way, the idea will be strengthened in the mind of the giver.
Tx:5.46  the Atonement, which I have repeatedly asked you to do, is always a  way out of fear. This does not mean that you can safely fail to
Tx:5.50  to every part. It is shared because it is loving. Sharing is God's  way of creating and also yours. Your ego can keep you in exile from
Tx:5.54  He leads you back to God where you belong, and how can you find this  way except by taking your brother with you?
Tx:5.72  your free decision at every possible moment and in every possible  way. And as its maker, you recognize what it can do because you gave
Tx:5.81  only infinite patience can produce immediate effects. This is the  way in which time is exchanged for eternity. Infinite patience calls
Tx:5.94  defensive because you expect attack. The decision to react in this  way, however, is yours and can therefore be undone. It cannot be

Tx:6.2 The  way to undo an insane conclusion is to consider the sanity of the

Tx:6.13  purpose, and that is the only way in which I can be perceived as the  Way, the Truth, and the Light.
Tx:6.14  is one, and anyone who listens is inevitably led to demonstrate His  way for all. You are not persecuted, nor was I. You are not asked to
Tx:6.19 If you interpret the crucifixion in any other  way, you are using it as a weapon for assault rather than as the call
Tx:6.29  one need which in this world is universal. To perceive yourself this  way is the only way in which you can find happiness in the world.
Tx:6.29  this world is universal. To perceive yourself this way is the only  way in which you can find happiness in the world. That is because it
Tx:6.30  perfect inclusion in Him, Who alone is perfect. To deny this in any  way is to deny yourself and Him since it is impossible to accept one
Tx:6.31  perception and knowledge. By enabling you to use perception in a  way that parallels knowledge, you will ultimately meet it and know
Tx:6.33  perception and lead it toward God by making it parallel to God's  way of thinking and thus guarantee their ultimate meeting. This
Tx:6.36 This is the  way in which you must perceive God's creations, bringing all of your

Tx:6.53  who will strengthen your command and never detract from it in any  way. You therefore retain the central place in your perceived
Tx:6.68  necessary that you turn in that direction. Having chosen to go that  way, you place yourself in charge of the journey, where you and only
Tx:6.75 The  way out of conflict between two opposing thought systems is clearly
Tx:6.81  You are only beginning this step now, but you have started on this  way by realizing that only one way is possible. You do not yet
Tx:6.81  now, but you have started on this way by realizing that only one  way is possible. You do not yet realize this consistently, and so
Tx:6.88  You create by what you are, but this is what you must learn. The  way to learn it is inherent in the third step, which brings together
Tx:6.94  which must be healed. Your vigilance against this sickness is the  way to heal it. Once your mind is healed, it radiates health and
Tx:7.2  creative thought proceed from you to your creations. Only in this  way can all creative power extend outward. God's accomplishments are
Tx:7.4  with God is to create like Him. God does not limit His gifts in any  way. You are His gifts, and so your gifts must be like His. Your
Tx:7.9  himself as not whole and therefore in need. If you too see him this  way, you are seeing him as if he were absent from the Kingdom or
Tx:7.17  forget or relinquish one to understand the other. This is the only  way you can learn consistency so that you can finally be consistent.
Tx:7.23  This is because they are channelized in one direction or in one  way. Ultimately, then, they all contribute to one result, and by so
Tx:7.23  You can excel in many different ways, but you can equalize in one  way only. Equality is not a variable state, by definition.
Tx:7.25  anyone in any situation. Because I am always with you, you are the  way and the truth and the light. You did not make this power, any
Tx:7.34  the laws of the ego. We said before that forgetting is merely a  way of remembering better. It is therefore not the opposite of
Tx:7.34  incorrect perception does. Properly perceived, it can be used as a  way out of conflict, as all proper perception can.
Tx:7.35  Spirit still knows that your forgetting must be translated into a  way of remembering and not perceived as a separate ability which
Tx:7.35  as a separate ability which opposes an opposite. That is the  way in which the ego tries to use all abilities, since its goal is
Tx:7.36  is because of this that their goals can never be reconciled in any  way or to any extent. The ego always seeks to divide and separate.
Tx:7.36  because the Holy Spirit sees no order of healing. Healing is the  way to undo the belief in differences, being the only way of
Tx:7.36  Healing is the way to undo the belief in differences, being the only  way of perceiving the Sonship without this belief. This perception is
Tx:7.37  not knowing this, you do not know what you are. Healing, then, is a  way of approaching knowledge by thinking in accordance with the laws
Tx:7.38  You are therefore in Him since your being is His. Healing is a  way of forgetting the sense of danger the ego has induced in you by
Tx:7.48 This in no  way contradicts the changelessness of mind as God created it, but you
Tx:7.49  in him. As you can hear two voices, so you can see in two ways. One  way shows you an image, or better, an idol which you may worship out
Tx:7.57  ego resolves this completely insane dilemma in a completely insane  way. It does not perceive its existence as threatened by projecting
Tx:7.72  need is yours. You need the blessing you can offer him. There is no  way for you to have it except by giving it. This is the law of God,
Tx:7.74  but they are powerful because they are mental judgments. The only  way to dispel illusions is to withdraw all investment from them, and
Tx:7.75  apart from Him, and you do do nothing apart from Him. Keep His  way to remember yourselves and teach His way, lest you forget
Tx:7.75  apart from Him. Keep His way to remember yourselves and teach His  way, lest you forget yourselves. Give only honor to the Sons of the
Tx:7.80  know Him. The peace of God is understanding this. There is only one  way out of the world's thinking, just as there was only one way into
Tx:7.80  only one way out of the world's thinking, just as there was only one  way into it. Understand totally by understanding totality.
Tx:7.82  keeps it in the Mind of God. To the ego, the law is perceived as a  way of getting rid of something it does not want. To the Holy Spirit,

Tx:7.103  you and with your strength. As long as you avoid His guidance in any  way, you want to be weak. Yet weakness is frightening. What else,
Tx:7.105  may seem to be. The whole separation lies in this fallacy. The only  way out of the fallacy is to decide that you do not have to decide
Tx:8.1  by your demands to know what you do not know. This is actually a  way of holding on to deprivation. You cannot reasonably object to
Tx:8.30  is obvious when you consider what healing is for. Healing is the  way in which the separation is overcome. Separation is overcome by
Tx:8.39  and therefore cannot unite with yours. Our union is therefore the  way to renounce the ego in yourself. The truth in both of us is
Tx:8.40  or you will try to go in different directions and will lose the  way.
Tx:8.41 The ego's  way is not mine, but it is also not yours. The Holy Spirit has one
Tx:8.41  with the journey because it has none, [and] the journey is the  way to what is true. Leave all deception behind and reach beyond all
Tx:8.48  actually leaves nothing. [You can make yourself powerless only in a  way that has no meaning at all.] When you think you are unwilling to
Tx:8.53  experience depression. When a Child of God thinks of himself in this  way, he is belittling himself and seeing his brothers as similarly
Tx:8.55  in communion, which has value until communion is. This is God's  way of making unlimited what you have limited. The Holy Spirit does
Tx:8.57  him, but you must have attacked yourself first. Do not see him this  way for your own salvation, which must bring him his. Do not allow
Tx:8.63 The removal of blocks, then, is the only  way to guarantee help and healing. Help and healing are the normal
Tx:8.76 Sickness is a  way of demonstrating that you can be hurt. It is a witness to your
Tx:8.76  is no point in trying to make sense out of meaningless data. Any  way you handle them results in nothing. The more complicated the
Tx:8.82  unconsciousness out of fear of consciousness. This is a pathetic  way of trying not to know by rendering the faculties for knowing
Tx:8.89 The unification of purpose, then, is the Holy Spirit's only  way of healing. This is because it is the only level at which healing
Tx:8.89  re-establishing of meaning in a chaotic thought system is the only  way to heal it. We have said that your task is only to meet the
Tx:8.110  As you hear him, you will hear me. Listening to truth is the only  way you can hear it now and finally know it.
Tx:8.114  Do not ask for blessings without blessing them, for only in this  way can you learn how blessed you are. By following this way, you are
Tx:8.114  in this way can you learn how blessed you are. By following this  way, you are looking for the truth in you. This is not going beyond
Tx:8.118  denied Him nothing, and so you can share everything. This is the  way, and the only way, to have His answer because His answer is all
Tx:8.118  and so you can share everything. This is the way, and the only  way, to have His answer because His answer is all you can ask for and
Tx:9.5  Holy Spirit, you must do this with his. Unless this becomes the one  way in which you handle all errors, you cannot understand how all
Tx:9.6  it, but because you are following the wrong guide and will lose your  way.
Tx:9.7  as real, and you have attacked yourself. If you would find your  way and keep it, see only truth beside you, for you walk together.
Tx:9.9 Atonement is for all, because it is the  way to undo the belief that anything is for you alone. To forgive is
Tx:9.10  of what you are. This limitation is where all errors arise. The  way to undo them, therefore, is not of you but for you.
Tx:9.24  and one which it usually does note, even in its confusion. If the  way to counteract fear is to reduce the importance of the fearer, how
Tx:9.36  You cannot perform a miracle for yourself, because miracles are a  way of giving acceptance and receiving it. In time, the giving comes
Tx:9.39  peace unless you accept the Atonement, because the Atonement is the  way to peace. The reason is very simple and so obvious that it is
Tx:9.69  your acceptance. Give up gladly everything that would stand in the  way of your remembering, for God is in your memory, and His Voice
Tx:9.72  you are, it is an attack on your identification. Attack is thus the  way in which your identification is lost because, when you attack,
Tx:9.87  cannot be perceived as partly sick, because to perceive it that  way is not to perceive it at all. If the Sonship is one, it is one in
Tx:10.3  the ego's thought system, the darker and more obscure becomes the  way. Yet even the little spark in your mind is enough to lighten it.
Tx:10.23  Unless you have hurt yourselves, you could never suffer in any  way, for that is not God's Will for His Son. Pain is not of Him, for
Tx:10.26 The  way is not hard, but it is very different. Yours is the way of pain,
Tx:10.26 The way is not hard, but it is very different. Yours is the  way of pain, of which God knows nothing. That way is hard indeed and
Tx:10.26  Yours is the way of pain, of which God knows nothing. That  way is hard indeed and very lonely. Fear and grief are your guests,
Tx:10.26  are your guests, and they go with you and abide with you on the  way. But the dark journey is not the way of God's Son. Walk in light,
Tx:10.26  you and abide with you on the way. But the dark journey is not the  way of God's Son. Walk in light, and do not see the dark companions,
Tx:10.26  the light. But deny them instead, for the light is here, and the  way is clear.
Tx:10.27  and gave him the light that shines in him. You will never lose your  way, for God leads you. When you wander, you but undertake a journey
Tx:10.27  undertake a journey which is not real. The dark companions, the dark  way, are all illusions. Turn toward the light, for the little spark
Tx:10.39  from illusions unless he looks at them, for not looking is the  way they are protected. There is no need to shrink from illusions,
Tx:10.40 What is healing but the removal of all that stands in the  way of knowledge? And how else can one dispel illusions except by
Tx:10.44  from the ego is the natural outcome of its central belief, and the  way to undo its results is merely to recognize that their source is
Tx:10.84  is his healing and yours. Christ is the Son of God, who is in no  way separate from His Father, whose every thought is as loving as the
Tx:11.1 You have been told not to make error real, and the  way to do this is very simple. If you want to believe in error, you
Tx:11.7  because they are for you. Do not attempt to “help” a brother in your  way, for you cannot help yourselves. But hear his call for the help
Tx:11.15  the healing of your brother as the healing of yourself is thus the  way to remember God. For you forgot your brothers with Him, and God's
Tx:11.15  brothers with Him, and God's answer to your forgetting is but the  way to remember.
Tx:11.19  for you must be yours. Do not let your hatred stand in the  way of love, for nothing can withstand the love of Christ for His
Tx:11.22  it, not by minimizing it, not by denying its full import in any  way—this is what you will really see. You cannot lay aside the
Tx:11.28  through peace. This is the only thing that can be saved and the only  way to save it. Any response other than love arises from a confusion
Tx:11.31  to what is inward, and therefore you would have to perceive it this  way. That is why you must realize that your hatred is in your mind
Tx:11.36  and this is always its central teaching. It never puts it this  way; on the contrary, everyone who believes that the ego is salvation
Tx:11.51  it is merely ridiculous if you look at it. Is it possible that the  way to achieve a goal is not to attain it? Resign now as your own
Tx:11.52  is limitless because it will lead you to God. You can teach the  way to Him and learn it if you follow the Teacher Who knows it and
Tx:11.79  it is. You who knew have forgotten, and unless He had given you a  way to remember, you would have condemned yourselves to oblivion.
Tx:11.84  which is forever the only reality. The Atonement is but the  way back to what was never lost. Your Father could not cease to love
Tx:11.93  everyone is seeking to escape from the prison he has made, and the  way to find release is not denied him. Being in him, he has found it.
Tx:11.96  because you are eternal and always must be now. Guilt, then, is a  way of holding past and future in your minds to ensure the ego's
Tx:11.97  the guiltlessness of the Son of God as yours is therefore God's  way of reminding you of His Son and what he is in truth. For God has
Tx:11.99  guilt. For attack makes guilt real, and if it is real, there is no  way to overcome it. The Holy Spirit dispels it simply through the
Tx:12.1  to retain guilt, you find it intolerable, since guilt stands in the  way of your remembering God, Whose pull is so strong that you cannot
Tx:12.42 Do not seek vision through your eyes, for you made your  way of seeing that you might see in darkness, and in this you are
Tx:12.43  but two emotions, and one you made and one was given you. Each is a  way of seeing, and different worlds arise from their different
Tx:12.66  and His Son returns his Father's love forever. The real world is the  way that leads you to remembrance of this one thing that is wholly
Tx:12.70  what you need. For He will give you all things that do not block the  way to light. And what else could you need? In time He gives you all
Tx:12.75  every temptation that would hold you back. We walk together on the  way to quietness that is the gift of God. Hold me dear, for what
Tx:13.21  He cannot use them unto your release. No one who would unite in any  way with anyone for his own salvation will find it in that strange
Tx:13.25 As long as you believe that guilt is justified in any  way in anyone whatever he may do, you will not look within, where you
Tx:13.29 Release from guilt as you would be released. There is no other  way to look within and see the light of love shining as steadily and
Tx:13.32  that you have ever held against him has touched his innocence in any  way. His shining purity, wholly untouched by guilt and wholly loving,
Tx:13.62  in the Holy Spirit's plan to free you from the past and open up the  way to freedom for you. For truth is true. What else could ever be or
Tx:13.65  you be happy. There is no conflict here. To wish for guilt in any  way, in any form, will lose appreciation of the value of your
Tx:13.71 The  way to teach this simple lesson is merely this: guiltlessness is
Tx:13.78  be the only Guide that you would follow to salvation. He knows the  way and leads you gladly on it. With Him you will not fail to learn
Tx:13.81  surely, and with love for everyone who will be touched in any  way by the decision. And everyone will be. Would you take unto
Tx:13.84 He leadeth me and knows the  way, which I know not. Yet He will never keep from me what He would
Tx:14.4  them unable to communicate because each sees the other unlike the  way he sees himself. God can communicate only to the Holy Spirit in
Tx:14.10 Teachers of innocence, each in his own  way, have joined together, taking their part in the unified
Tx:14.27  what you do. You will realize that salvation must come to you this  way if you consider what dissociation is. Dissociation is a distorted
Tx:14.30  you join your perception to His. Joining with Him in seeing is the  way in which you learn to share with Him the interpretation of
Tx:14.50  Spirit teaches by giving you shining examples to show you that your  way of ordering is wrong, but that a better way is offered you.
Tx:14.50  to show you that your way of ordering is wrong, but that a better  way is offered you.
Tx:14.64  you have learned. When your peace is threatened or disturbed in any  way, say to yourself,
Tx:14.74  who perceives the need for peace and who would have it. Make  way for peace, and it will come. For understanding is in you, and
Tx:15.2  the future. This is not so. For the Holy Spirit uses time in His own  way and is not bound by it. [Time is His friend in teaching. It does
Tx:15.7  in guilt must lead to the belief in hell, and always does. The only  way in which the ego allows the fear of hell to be experienced is to
Tx:15.20  it with perfect certainty. No gift of God is recognized in any other  way. You can practice the mechanics of the holy instant and will
Tx:15.36  bring it nearer. Think not that you can find salvation in your own  way and have it. Give over every plan that you have made for your
Tx:15.41  you would prefer to have private thoughts and keep them? The only  way you could do that is to deny the perfect communication that makes
Tx:15.41  in private thoughts, known only to yourself, you think you find a  way to keep what you would have alone and share what you would share.
Tx:15.54  brothers join in Christ. Those who are joined in Christ are in no  way separate. For Christ is the Self the Sonship shares, as God
Tx:15.56  total commitments, yet they do not conflict with one another in any  way. Perfect faith in each one for its ability to satisfy you
Tx:15.61  he gladly wills, it is impossible that he be bound or limited in any  way. In this instant, he is as free as God would have him be. For the
Tx:15.68  that the ego attempts to maintain and increase guilt, but in such a  way that you do not recognize what it would do to you. For it is the
Tx:15.70 In one  way or another, every relationship which the ego makes is based on
Tx:15.75  your minds remain your own. The union of bodies thus becomes the  way in which you would keep minds apart. For bodies cannot forgive.
Tx:16.1  very useful to the Holy Spirit, provided you let Him use it in His  way. [His way is very different.] He does not understand suffering

Tx:16.8  you keep them separate and secret from each other. That is not the  way, for it leads not to light and truth. No needs will long be left
Tx:16.11  the truth of just a little part of the whole. And this is but a  way of avoiding or looking away from the whole to what you think you
Tx:16.11  you might be better able to understand. For this is but another  way in which you would still try to keep understanding to yourself. A
Tx:16.11  try to keep understanding to yourself. A better and far more helpful  way to think of miracles is this: You do not understand them, either
Tx:16.12  and of the whole in every part is perfectly natural. For it is the  way God thinks, and what is natural to Him is natural to you. Wholly
Tx:16.41  me firmly away from all illusions now, and let nothing stand in the  way of truth. We will take the last foolish journey away from truth
Tx:16.42  There is no veil the love of God in us together cannot lift. The  way to truth is open. Follow it with me.
Tx:16.60  not, or love will be unable to find you and comfort you. There is a  way in which the Holy Spirit asks your help if you would have His.
Tx:16.68  the love of God and you. And may the holy instant speed you on the  way, as it will surely do if you but let it come to you.
Tx:16.70  all enter into the special relationship, which becomes a  way in which you seek to restore your wounded self-esteem. What basis

Tx:18.24  in bringing truth to illusion, reality to fantasy, have walked the  way of dreams. For you have gone from waking to sleeping and on and
Tx:18.26 If you knew Who walks beside you on this  way which you have chosen, fear would be impossible. You do not know
Tx:18.31  led nowhere. You have found each other and will light each other's  way. And from this light will the Great Rays extend back into
Tx:18.36  to those who offer it nothing more than simple willingness to make  way for it. Purification is of God alone and therefore for you.
Tx:18.63  that do not involve its comfort or protection or enjoyment in some  way? This makes it an end and not a means in your interpretation, and
Tx:18.67 Your  way will be different, not in purpose but in means. A holy
Tx:18.68  is the ultimate release which everyone will one day find in his own  way, at his own time. We do not need this time. Time has been saved
Tx:18.69  you slip past centuries of effort and escape from time. This is the  way in which sin loses all attraction right now. For here is time
Tx:18.74  it could not survive apart from them. And what it thinks it is in no  way changes its total dependence on them for its being. Its whole
Tx:18.75  house a separate mind, a disconnected thought living alone and in no  way joined to the Thought by which it was created. Each tiny fragment
Tx:18.79  green and deep and quiet, offering rest to those who lost their  way and wander in the dust. Give them a place of refuge, prepared by
Tx:18.90  the sun. Its impenetrable appearance is wholly an illusion. It gives  way softly to the mountain tops which rise above it and has no power
Tx:18.95  which learning cannot go, will go beyond it but in a different  way. Where learning ends there God begins, for learning ends before

Tx:19.56  Atonement is achieved through murder. Salvation is looked upon as a  way by which the Son of God was killed instead of you.
Tx:19.67  imprison me behind the obstacles you raise to freedom and bar my  way to you. Yet it is not possible to keep away One Who is there
Tx:19.76  what is sent through Him returns to Him, seeking itself along the  way and finding what it seeks. So does the ego find the death it
Tx:19.83  your acceptance the power to release from corruption. What better  way to teach the first and fundamental principle in a course on
Tx:19.94  obstacle that peace must flow across is surmounted in just the same  way; the fear that raised it yields to the love beneath, and so the
Tx:19.101  share it. And all the pity and forgiveness that would heal it gives  way to fear. Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you
Tx:19.107  garden of seeming agony and death. So will we prepare together the  way unto the resurrection of God's Son and let him rise again to glad
Tx:20.3  in peace beyond it, with the light of his own innocence lighting his  way to his redemption and release. Hold him not back with thorns and
Tx:20.3  let the whiteness of your shining gift of lilies speed him on his  way to resurrection.
Tx:20.13  have your holy brother lead you there? His innocence will light your  way, offering you its guiding light and sure protection, and shining
Tx:20.13  brings you joy. We go beyond the veil of fear, lighting each other's  way. The holiness that leads us is within us, as is our home. So will
Tx:20.14 This is the  way to Heaven and to the peace of Easter, in which we join in glad
Tx:20.15  nor forsake the savior from his pain. And gladly will you walk the  way of innocence together, singing as you behold the open door of
Tx:20.16  is undertaken. For this reduces it at once to mere perception—a  way of looking in which certainty is lost and doubt has entered. To
Tx:20.19 —a world of murder and attack through which you thread your timid  way through constant dangers, alone and frightened, hoping at most
Tx:20.35  while you are in time, there is so much that must be done before the  way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems impossible to you. But ask
Tx:20.36 He will go before you making straight your path and leaving in your  way no stones to trip on and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing
Tx:20.36  in your way no stones to trip on and no obstacles to bar your  way. Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty
Tx:20.54  exchanged in gladness for the holy one of safe return. Here is the  way to true relationships held gently open, through which you walk
Tx:21.4  which doors are open, and you can see where safety lies and which  way leads to darkness, which to light. Judgment will always give you
Tx:21.6  their world by their adjustments to it. They think they know their  way about in it. They learned it, not through joyous lessons, but
Tx:21.39  and “deprivation” are opposites and cannot meaningfully join in any  way. It is like saying that the moon and sun are one because they
Tx:21.48  unafraid. Little children, innocent of sin, follow in gladness the  way to certainty. Be not held back by fear's insane insistence that
Tx:21.48  is not made meaningful by repetition and by clamor. The quiet  way is open. Follow it happily and question not what must be so.
Tx:21.58  fail to lead to changed perception. And in this change is room made  way for vision. Vision extends beyond itself, as does the purpose
Tx:21.59  This you could spare him and yourself. For reason would not make  way for correction in you alone.
Tx:21.72  and to act out their dream. How would an army act in dreams? Any  way at all. It could be seen attacking anyone with anything. Dreams
Tx:22.1  the same, made by the same, and forgiven for its maker in the same  way.
Tx:22.16  bring the same amount of misery, though each one seems to be the  way to lose the misery the other brings. Every illusion carries pain
Tx:22.18  cannot change. But sorrow can be turned to joy, for time gives  way to the eternal. Only the timeless must remain unchanged, but
Tx:22.18  Yet if the change be real and not imagined, illusions must give  way to truth and not to other dreams that are but equally unreal.
Tx:22.19 Reason will tell you that the only  way to escape from misery is to recognize it and go the other way.
Tx:22.19  only way to escape from misery is to recognize it and go the other  way. Truth is the same and misery the same, but they are different
Tx:22.19  and misery the same, but they are different from each other in every  way, in every instance, and without exception. To believe that one
Tx:22.20  the belief in sin must be eternal. Yet reason looks on this another  way, for reason sees the source of an idea as what will make it true
Tx:22.30  this belief, and reason will be unable to see your errors and make  way for their correction. For reason sees through errors, telling you
Tx:22.31 Reason is not salvation in itself, but it makes  way for peace and brings you to a state of mind in which salvation
Tx:22.38  road is quite apparent, you cannot go ahead. You must go either one  way or the other. For now if you go straight ahead, the way you went
Tx:22.38  either one way or the other. For now if you go straight ahead, the  way you went before you reached the branch, you will go nowhere. The
Tx:22.38  of coming this far was to decide which branch you will take now. The  way you came no longer matters. It can no longer serve. No one who
Tx:22.38  than standing where the road branches and not deciding on which  way to go.
Tx:22.39 It is but the first few steps along the right  way that seem hard, for you have chosen, although you still may think
Tx:22.39  made with the power of Heaven to uphold it cannot be undone. Your  way is decided. There will be nothing you will not be told if you
Tx:22.43  obstacle was finally surmounted which seemed to rise and block their  way before. This veil you lift together opens the way to truth to
Tx:22.43  and block their way before. This veil you lift together opens the  way to truth to more than you. Those who would let illusions be
Tx:22.45  illusions? Surely not by force or anger nor by opposing them in any  way. Merely by letting reason tell you that they contradict reality.
Tx:22.45  defense because of weakness. And how can it be difficult to walk the  way of truth when only weakness interferes? You are the strong ones
Tx:22.59  for peace. He will withhold no blessing from it nor limit it in any  way. He will join to it all the power that God has given Him to make
Tx:22.62  It is unjustified in any form because it has no meaning. The only  way it could be justified is if each one of you were separate from
Tx:23.2  as sinless. He walks in peace who travels sinlessly along the  way love shows him. For love walks with him there, protecting him
Tx:23.5  the light of which he is a part. Your innocence will light the  way to his, and so is yours protected and kept in your awareness. For
Tx:23.12  Illusions cannot triumph over truth, nor can they threaten it in any  way. And the reality which they deny is not a part of them.
Tx:23.40  How can you know whether you chose the stairs to Heaven or the  way to hell? Quite easily. How do you feel? Is peace in your
Tx:23.40  How do you feel? Is peace in your awareness? Are you certain which  way you go? And are you sure the goal of Heaven can be reached? If
Tx:24.8  to a goal that is the same? Would you not help him reach it in every  way you could if his attainment of it were perceived as yours? You
Tx:24.20 You have come far along the  way of truth—too far to falter now. Just one step more and every
Tx:24.31  be your home. He chose not this for you. Ask not He enter this. The  way is barred to love and to salvation. Yet if you would release your
Tx:24.43 Yet let your specialness direct his  way, and you will follow. And both will walk in danger, each intent,
Tx:24.45  are going, and He leads you there in gentleness and blessing all the  way. His love for God replaces all the fear you thought you saw
Tx:24.48  He is within you, yet He walks beside you and before, leading the  way that He must go to find Himself complete. His quietness becomes
Tx:24.52  Yet it is given you to be beyond its laws in all respects, in every  way, and every circumstance, in all temptation to perceive what is
Tx:24.67  in eternity. To no one here is this describable. Nor is there any  way to learn what this condition means. Not till you go past learning
Tx:25.13  that might result in better outcome? For one thing is sure—the  way you see, and long have seen, gives no support to base your future
Tx:25.16  is to see. The body holds it for a while without obscuring it in any  way. Yet what God has created needs no frame, for what He has created
Tx:25.17  into dust. But think you not the picture is destroyed in any  way. What God creates is safe from all corruption, unchanged and
Tx:25.32  he defines it. It is not the aim as such that varies. Yet it is the  way in which the aim is seen that makes the choice of means
Tx:25.32  chosen once again, as what will bring rejoicing is defined another  way and sought for differently.
Tx:25.40  not Heaven is lost to him alone. Nor can it be regained unless the  way is shown to him through you that you may find it, walking by his
Tx:25.42  upon your brother, not without the understanding that he is the  way to Heaven or to hell as you perceive him. But forget not this—
Tx:25.42  this—the role you give to him is given you, and you will walk the  way you pointed out to him because it is your judgment on yourself.
Tx:25.50  share the attributes of His creation when it opposes it in every  way?
Tx:25.53  depends upon the form it takes. Who thinks the world is sane in any  way, is justified in anything it thinks, or is maintained by any form
Tx:25.55  a world perceived as wholly mad to sinners who believe theirs is the  way to sanity. But sin is equally insane within the sight of love,

Tx:25.66  still can ask and learn the answer. Justice looks on all in the same  way. It is not just that one should lack for what another has. For
Tx:25.77  of sin, and to the life eternal, joyous and complete in every  way, as God appointed for His holy Son. This is the only justice
Tx:25.81  loss of any kind He cannot see. The world solves problems in another  way. It sees a resolution as a state in which it is decided who shall
Tx:25.82  the murder is not obvious. The Holy Spirit's problem solving is the  way in which the problem ends. It has been solved because it has been
Tx:25.84  first to be unjust. And then must problems rise to block your  way and peace be scattered by the winds of hate.
Tx:26.12  Think not the limits you impose on what you see can limit God in any  way.
Tx:26.25  could need forgiveness. And what is charity within the world gives  way to simple justice past the gate that opens into Heaven. No one
Tx:26.30  only, who point in different ways. And you will go along the  way your chosen teacher leads. There are but two directions you can
Tx:26.30  choice is meaningful. For never will another road be made except the  way to Heaven. You but choose whether to go toward Heaven or away to
Tx:26.31  used to reach a goal as high as learning can achieve? Think not the  way to Heaven's gate is difficult at all. Nothing you undertake with
Tx:26.32  so is all time passed and everything exactly as it was before the  way to nothingness was made. The tiny tick of time in which the first
Tx:26.33  upon you saw but for an instant, long ago before its unreality gave  way to truth. Not one illusion still remains unanswered in your mind.
Tx:26.36  over. Madness speaks no more. There is no other teacher and no other  way. For what has been undone no longer is. And who can stand upon a
Tx:26.38  in the present? You can not go back. And everything that points the  way in the direction of the past but sets you on a mission whose
Tx:26.38  unfairness to yourself has He protected you. You cannot lose your  way because there is no way but His and nowhere can you go except to
Tx:26.38  has He protected you. You cannot lose your way because there is no  way but His and nowhere can you go except to Him.
Tx:26.39 Would God allow His Son to lose his  way along a road long since a memory of time gone by? [This course

Tx:26.90  sparkle that salvation brought can you perceive to lighten up your  way. And so you see yourself deprived of light, abandoned to the
Tx:27.1  and make a unity of what can never join? Walk you the gentle  way, and you will fear no evil and no shadows in the night. But place
Tx:27.8  enjoy their benefits or not. The end of life must come, whatever  way that life be spent. And so take pleasure in the quickly passing
Tx:27.10  bad nor good. No grounds are offered that it may be judged in any  way at all. It has no life, but neither is it dead. It stands apart
Tx:27.12 The simple  way to let this be achieved is merely this—to let the body have no
Tx:27.13  to love, and damaged bodies are accusers. They stand firmly in the  way of trust and peace, proclaiming that the frail can have no trust
Tx:27.23  and different ends. Correction, to a mind so split, must be a  way to punish sins you think are yours in someone else. And thus does
Tx:27.36  has no limited effects. Yet if God gave an answer, there must be a  way in which your problems are resolved, for what He wills already
Tx:27.37  of mind solution is impossible. Therefore, God must have given you a  way of reaching to another state of mind in which the answer is
Tx:27.38  its point of view. All questions asked within this world are but a  way of looking, not a question asked. A question asked in hate cannot
Tx:27.44 The only  way to heal is to be healed. The miracle extends without your help,
Tx:27.51  have been properly perceived but never violated. Fear you not the  way that you perceive them. You are wrong, but there is One within
Tx:27.63  that is needed is you look upon the problem as it is, and not the  way that you have set it up. How could there be another way to solve
Tx:27.63  and not the way that you have set it up. How could there be another  way to solve a problem which is very simple but has been obscured by
Tx:27.68  suffering to you, your guilt was not among them. Nor did you in any  way request them for yourself. This is how all illusions come about.
Tx:28.5  does not seek to use it as a means to keep the past, but rather as a  way to let it go. Memory holds the message it receives and does what
Tx:28.6  the past is held in memory as you make use of it, and so it is a  way to hold the past against the now.
Tx:28.13  has gone. There is no past to keep its fearful image in the  way of glad awakening to present peace. The trumpets of eternity
Tx:28.15  when memory of God has come to take the place of loss? What better  way to close the little gap between illusions and reality than to
Tx:28.24  final step with which salvation, which proceeds to go the other  way, begins. This final step is an effect of what has gone before,
Tx:28.28  present. Here is where we must begin. And having started, will the  way be made serene and simple in the rising up to waking and the
Tx:28.38 There is a  way of finding certainty right here and now. Refuse to be a part of
Tx:28.55  been set. And if that path is changed, it walks as easily another  way. It takes no sides and judges not the road it travels. It
Tx:29.1  where God is absent. There is nothing to be feared. There is no  way in which a gap could be conceived of in the wholeness that is
Tx:29.3  are past, but this one still remains to block your path and make the  way to light seem dark and fearful, perilous and bleak. You had
Tx:29.10  does an easy path, so clearly marked it is impossible to lose the  way, seem thorny, rough, and far too difficult for you to follow? Is
Tx:29.10  you see it as the road to hell instead of looking on it as a simple  way, without a sacrifice or any loss, to find yourself in Heaven and
Tx:29.10  understand there is no loss, you will have some regrets about the  way that you have chosen. And you will not see the many gains your
Tx:29.22  Before this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give  way to light. The darkness cannot choose that it remain. The coming
Tx:29.23 There, in its place, God's Witness has set forth the gentle  way of kindness to God's Son. Whom you forgive is given power to
Tx:29.23  your illusions. By your gift of freedom is it given unto you. Make  way for love, which you did not create, but which you can extend. On
Tx:29.26  not then be willing to awake, for which the miracle prepares the  way.

Tx:29.57  change, the peace of God, forever given to all living things, give  way to chaos, and the Son of God, as perfect, sinless and as loving
Tx:29.70  he is remembering what he forgot when judgment seemed to be the  way to save him from its penalty.
Tx:30.2  think about the kind of day you want and tell yourself there is a  way in which this very day can happen just like that. Then try again

Tx:30.20  that you want and that you need, because you do not like the  way you feel. This tiny opening will be enough to let you go ahead
Tx:30.23 I want another  way to look at this.
Tx:30.26 Perhaps there is another  way to look at this. What can I lose by asking?
Tx:30.64  join Him. Now that you have come, would He delay in showing you the  way that He must walk with you? His blessing lies on you as surely as
Tx:30.65  right, and what you pay for is not happiness. Be speeded on your  way by honesty, and let not your experiences here deceive in
Tx:30.70  This is not pardon. For it would assume that, by responding in a  way which is not justified, your pardon will become the answer to
Tx:30.78  from guilt in all its forms and all its consequence. There is no  way to think of him but this if you would know the truth about
Tx:31.15  but the illusion it is free, for it will have one outcome either  way. Thus is it really not a choice at all. The leader and the

Tx:31.25  cannot be given while you walk alone, and so you cannot see which  way you go. And thus there is confusion and a sense of endless
Tx:31.25  road. A blindfold can indeed obscure your sight but cannot make the  way itself grow dark. And He Who travels with you has the light.

Tx:31.36  road, another person, or another place when you have learned the  way the lesson starts but do not yet perceive what it is for? Its
Tx:31.37  Is it not needful that he should begin with this, to seek another  way instead? For while he sees a choice where there is none, what

Tx:31.50  realize the way you see yourself. Now must the Holy Spirit find a  way to help you see this concept of the self must be undone if any
Tx:31.54  concept of the self from what is wholly passive and at least makes  way for active choice and some acknowledgment that interaction must

W1:3.1 Apply this idea in the same  way as the previous ones, without making distinctions of any kind.
W1:8.3  that it is filled with real ideas, is the first step to opening the  way to vision.
W1:10.3  “thoughts” means that you are not thinking. This is merely another  way of repeating our earlier statement that your mind is really a

W1:15.3  will not reveal knowledge to you. But they will prepare the  way to it.
W1:17.1  first, despite the temptation to believe that it is really the other  way around. This is not the way the world thinks, but you must learn
W1:17.1  to believe that it is really the other way around. This is not the  way the world thinks, but you must learn that it is the way you
W1:17.1  is not the way the world thinks, but you must learn that it is the  way you think. If it were not so, perception would have no cause and
W1:22.1 Today's idea accurately describes the  way anyone who holds attack thoughts in his mind must see the world.
W1:23.1 The idea for today contains the only  way out of fear that will ever succeed. Nothing else will work;
W1:23.1  Nothing else will work; everything else is meaningless. But this  way cannot fail. Every thought you have makes up some segment of the
W1:24.1  you happy. Therefore you have no guide to appropriate action and no  way of judging the result. What you do is determined by your
W1:25.3 Another  way of describing the goals you now perceive as valuable is to say
W1:25.5  that they are meaningless, rather than “good” or “bad,” is the only  way to accomplish this. The idea for today is a step in this
W1:28.1  you are willing at least to make them now, you have started on the  way to keeping them. And we are still at the beginning.
W1:30.2  from us. That is the fundamental difference between vision and the  way you see.
W1:33.4 There is another  way of looking at this.
W1:34.1  today begins to describe the conditions that prevail in the other  way of seeing. Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must
W1:34.5  and made whenever you feel your peace of mind is threatened in any  way. The purpose is to protect yourself from temptation throughout
W1:35.1 Today's idea does not describe the  way you see yourself now. It does, however, describe what vision will
W1:35.8 You should not think of these terms in an abstract  way. They will occur to you as various situations, personalities and
W1:37.2 There is no other  way in which the idea of sacrifice can be removed from the world's
W1:37.2  of sacrifice can be removed from the world's thinking. Any other  way of seeing will inevitably demand payment of someone or something.
W1:39.8  your salvation. Apply the idea for today to each one of them in this  way:
W1:41.7  You might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The  way will open if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can
W1:43.8  relevant thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your own personal  way. Thoughts such as:
W1:43.15  which may occur, particularly to those which distress you in any  way. For this kind of application, use this form:
W1:45.1  just as nothing that you think you see is related to vision in any  way. There is no relationship between what is real and what you think
W1:47.1  aware of all the facets of any problem and to resolve it in such a  way that only good can come of it? What is there in you that gives
W1:49.1  through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any  way. The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant
W1:52.2  reality as an illusion. Nothing in God's creation is affected in any  way by this confusion of mine. I am always upset by nothing.
W1:53.6  thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet God's  way is sure. The images I have made cannot prevail against Him
W1:57.4 [33] There is another  way of looking at the world. Since the purpose of the world is not
W1:57.4  of the world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another  way of looking at it. I see everything upside down, and my thoughts
W1:64.1 Today's idea is merely another  way of saying, “Let me not wander into temptation.” The purpose of
W1:64.5 There is no other  way. Therefore every time you choose whether or not to fulfill your
W1:65.1  all the other goals you have invented for yourself. This is the only  way in which you can take your rightful place among the saviors of
W1:65.1  your rightful place among the saviors of the world. This is the only  way in which you can say and mean, “My only function is the one God
W1:65.1  mean, “My only function is the one God gave me.” This is the only  way in which you can find peace of mind.
W1:68.9  Try to believe, however briefly, that nothing can harm you in any  way. At the end of the practice period tell yourself:
W1:69.5  do not attempt to go through them and past them, which is the only  way in which you would be really convinced of their lack of
W1:70.2  yourself can hurt you or disturb your peace or upset you in any  way.
W1:70.4  have put the remedy for sickness where it cannot help. That is the  way your mind has worked, but hardly His. He wants you to be healed,
W1:70.8  salvation comes from nothing outside of you. You might put it this  way:
W1:71.15  for today some six or seven times an hour. There could be no better  way to spend a half-minute or less than to remember the Source of
W1:73.14  period under Their guidance. Join with Them as They lead the  way.
W1:74.11 After you have cleared your mind in this  way, close your eyes and try to experience the peace to which your
W1:78.2  the grievances to look upon the miracle instead. We will reverse the  way you see by not allowing sight to stop before it sees. We will not
W1:78.8  of God in his reality and truth that we may look on him a different  way and see our savior shining in the light of true forgiveness given
W1:80.2  and conviction. You have recognized your only problem, opening the  way for the Holy Spirit to give you God's answer. You have laid
W1:R2.4 Regard these practice periods as dedications to the  way, the truth, and the life. Refuse to be side-tracked into detours,
W1:82.7  This may threaten my ego but cannot change my function in any  way.
W1:86.5  I would no longer defeat my own best interests in this insane  way. I would accept God's plan for salvation and be happy.
W1:95.11  It is this process that must be laid aside, for it is but another  way in which you would defend illusions against the truth. Let all
W1:96.8  God. The Holy Spirit holds salvation in your mind and offers it the  way to peace. Salvation is a thought you share with God, because His

W1:98.2  we need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake stands in our  way, for we have been absolved from errors. All our sins are washed
W1:98.11  enable you to understand your special function. He will open up the  way to happiness, and peace and trust will be His gifts, His answer
W1:99.12  and start your longer practice periods with this instruction in the  way of truth:
W1:101.4  savage punishment? Who would not flee salvation and attempt in every  way he can to drown the Voice Which offers it to him? Why would he
W1:104.8 So do we clear the  way for Him today by simply recognizing that His Will is done already
W1:105.4 Accept God's peace and joy, and you will learn a different  way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will never lessen when they are
W1:106.2  Voice, Which silences the thunder of the meaningless and shows the  way to peace to those who cannot see. Be still today and listen to
W1:106.8 Today we practice giving, not the  way you understand it now, but as it is. Each hour's exercises should
W1:106.10  you came and which will free the world from thinking giving is a  way to lose. And so the world becomes ready to understand and to
W1:109.5  by without its touch upon you, for your rest can never change in any  way at all.
W1:109.8  comes closer to all worn and tired minds, too weary now to go their  way alone. And they will hear the bird begin to sing and see the
W1:R3.9  inclined to practice only at appointed times and then go on your  way to other things without applying what you learned to them. As a
W1:119.2  errors in my mind. I am mistaken when I think I can be hurt in any  way. I am God's Son whose Self rests safely in the Mind of God.
W1:121.1  key to meaning in a world which seems to make no sense. Here is the  way to safety in apparent dangers which appear to threaten you at
W1:121.8  will be not of you, but of the Teacher Who was given you to show the  way to you. Today we practice learning to forgive. If you are
W1:122.10  the turning point at which the road becomes far easier. And now the  way is short that yet we travel. We are close indeed to the appointed
W1:124.1  and which heals. At one with God and with the universe, we go our  way rejoicing, with the thought that God Himself goes everywhere with
W1:124.2  give place to everlasting life. Our shining footprints point the  way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the world a little
W1:124.2  a little while. And those who come to follow us will recognize the  way because the light we carry stays behind, yet still remains with
W1:124.5 We see it in appearances of pain, and pain gives  way to peace. We see it in the frantic, in the sad and the
W1:126.2  have no effect on them, and their appeals for help are not in any  way related to your own. You further think that they can sin without
W1:127.1  you think there is a kind of love for this, a kind for that; a  way of loving one, another way of loving still another. Love is one.
W1:127.1  kind of love for this, a kind for that; a way of loving one, another  way of loving still another. Love is one. It has no separate parts
W1:128.1  nothing that you need to offer you, nothing that you can use in any  way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy. Believe this
W1:131.2 Goals which are meaningless are not attained. There is no  way to reach them, for the means by which you strive for them are
W1:131.8  earth the other's sorry outcome that is Heaven's opposite in every  way.
W1:131.16  swings open with your one intent to go beyond it. Angels light the  way, so that all darkness vanishes and you are standing in a light so
W1:132.11 What is the lesson for today except another  way of saying that to know your Self is the salvation of the world?
W1:132.12  you see is false, for God's creation is unlike the world in every  way. And as it was His thought by which you were created, so it is
W1:134.8  truth. By its ability to overlook what is not there, it opens up the  way to truth, which had been blocked by dreams of guilt.
W1:134.9 Now are you free to follow in the  way your true forgiveness opens up to you. For if one brother has
W1:134.9  gift of you, the door is open to yourself. There is a very simple  way to find the door to true forgiveness and perceive it open wide in
W1:134.12  lifts his foot to stride ahead, a star is left behind to point the  way to those who follow him.
W1:134.14  and in peace. Our practicing becomes the footsteps lightening up the  way for all our brothers, who will follow us to the reality we share
W1:135.17  plays no part at all, for present confidence directs the  way.
W1:136.12  to think you die or suffer sickness or distort the truth in any  way. What is created is apart from all of this. Defenses are plans to
W1:138.1  Heaven exists, there must be hell as well, for contradiction is the  way we make what we perceive and what we think is real. Creation
W1:139.9  reality, but merely to accept the truth about yourself and go your  way rejoicing in the endless Love of God. It is but this that we are
W1:R4.1  we review the recent lessons and their central thoughts in such a  way as will facilitate the readiness which we would now achieve.
W1:151.6  yourself. Yet you must learn to doubt their evidence will clear the  way to recognize yourself and let the Voice for God alone be Judge of
W1:151.11  circumstance, and every happening which seems to touch on you in any  way from His one frame of reference, wholly unified and sure. And you
W1:155.1 There is a  way of living in the world that is not here, although it seems to be.
W1:155.1  you do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet perceived the  way will recognize you also and believe that you are like them as you
W1:155.2  own reality is even here, then they step back and let it lead the  way. What other choice is really theirs to make? To let illusion walk
W1:155.5  sacrifice and deprivation both are quickly left behind. This is the  way appointed for you now. You walk this path as others walk, nor do
W1:155.5  serve them while you serve yourself and set their footsteps on the  way which God has opened up to you, and them through you.
W1:155.6  through illusion, for the road leads past illusion now, while on the  way you call to them that they may follow you.
W1:155.7  you to lead your brothers from the ways of death and set them on the  way to happiness. Their suffering is but illusion. Yet they need a
W1:155.9  with which they can identify, something they understand to lead the  way.
W1:155.10  no distance between truth and you. And all illusions walking in the  way you traveled will be gone from you as well, with nothing left to
W1:155.10  holy as Himself. Step back in faith, and let truth lead the  way. You know not where you go, but One Who knows goes with you. Let
W1:155.11  the truth. And we step forth toward this as we progress along the  way that truth points out to us. This is our final journey, which we
W1:155.11  our final journey, which we make for everyone. We must not lose our  way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before our brothers who
W1:155.12 We walk to God. Pause and reflect on this. Could any  way be holier or more deserving of your effort, of your love, and of
W1:155.12  of your effort, of your love, and of your full intent? What  way could give you more than everything or offer less and still
W1:155.12  now is one with Him and leads us to where He has always been. What  way but this could be a path that you would choose instead?
W1:155.13 Your feet are safely set upon the  way that leads the world to God. Look not to ways which seem to lead
W1:155.15 I will step back and let Him lead the  way, for I would walk along the road to Him.
W1:156.6 This is the  way salvation works. As you step back, the Light in you steps forward
W1:157.3  return to paths of learning. Yet you have come far enough along the  way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws and walk into
W1:158.2  found early in the text. Experience cannot be shared directly in the  way that vision can. The revelation that the Father and the Son are
W1:158.11  has still one gift to give in which true knowledge is reflected in a  way so accurate its image shares its unseen holiness; its likeness
W1:159.10  appointed it be given you? Judge not God's Son, but follow in the  way He has established. Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven
W1:160.6  no home wherever he may look, for he has made return impossible. His  way is lost except a miracle will search him out and show him that he

W1:165.2  you, cares for you, makes soft your resting place and smooth your  way, lighting your mind with happiness and love. Eternity and
W1:166.6  them. Yet is he really tragic when you see that he is following the  way he chose and needs but realize Who walks with him and open up his
W1:166.7  to show this is not you. You heed them not. You go on your appointed  way, with eyes cast down lest you might catch a glimpse of truth and
W1:166.9  outwitted by your plan to keep His Son in deep oblivion and go the  way you chose without your Self.
W1:166.13  who teach them now. For you have learned of Christ there is another  way for them to walk. Teach them by showing them the happiness that
W1:170.5  means by which your fancied self-defense proceeds on its imagined  way, you will perceive the premises on which the idea stands. First,
W1:170.13  at last. The Call of God is heard and answered. Now has fear made  way for love, as God Himself replaces cruelty.
W1:R5.2  Lead our practicing as does a father lead a little child along a  way he does not understand. Yet does he follow, sure that he is safe
W1:R5.2  does he follow, sure that he is safe because his father leads the  way for him.

W2:242.2  You will give us everything we want and that will help us find the  way to You.
W2:246.1 Let me not think that I can find the  way to God if I have hatred in my heart. Let me not try to hurt God's

W2:258.2 Our goal is but to follow in the  way that leads to You. We have no goal but this. What could we want

W2:280.2 Today let me give honor to Your Son, for thus alone I find the  way to You. Father, I lay no limits on the Son You love and You
W2:281.1 Father, Your Son is perfect. When he thinks that he is hurt in any  way, it is because he has forgotten who he is, and that he is as You
W2:286.2 The stillness of today will give us hope that we have found the  way and traveled far along it to a wholly certain goal. Today we will
W2:287.2 You are my goal, my Father. What but You could I desire to have? What  way but that which leads to You could I desire to walk? And what
W2:287.2  You are my only goal. Your Son would be as You created him. What  way but this could I expect to recognize my Self and be at one with
W2:288.1 This is the thought that leads the  way to You and brings me to my goal. I cannot come to You without my

W2:288.1  is gone. Let me not cherish it within my heart or I will lose the  way to walk to You. My brother is my savior. Let me not attack the

W2:298.2 Father, I come to You today, because I would not follow any  way but Yours. You are beside me. Certain is Your way. And I am
W2:298.2  not follow any way but Yours. You are beside me. Certain is Your  way. And I am grateful for Your holy gifts of certain sanctuary and

W2:317.2 Father, Your  way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me, do I choose to
W2:317.2  do I choose to go; what it would have me do, I choose to do. Your  way is certain and the end secure. The memory of You awaits me there,

W2:321.1  Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me. And the  way to You is opening and clear to me at last. Father, my freedom is
W2:321.2  with us. How glad are we to find our freedom through the certain  way our Father has established. And how sure is all the world's
W2:324.1  the One Who gave the plan for my salvation to me. You have set the  way I am to go, the role to take, and every step in my appointed

Tx:2.71  a correction into the whole record which corrects retroactively as  well as progressively.
Tx:2.73  insane thinking? There is a confusion here which you would do  well to look at clearly. You believe that you are responsible for
Tx:2.96  the whole world of the unconscious or “unwatched” mind. This may  well frighten you because it is the source of fear. The unwatched

Tx:4.28  in rage if you take away a knife or a scissors, even though they may  well harm themselves if you do not. The speed-up has placed you in
Tx:4.47 The upper level of the unconscious thus contains the Call of God as  well as the call of the body. That is why the basic conflict between
Tx:4.64  that hinder its accomplishment, and step away from them. Judge how  well you have done this by your own feelings, for this is the one
Tx:4.82  however, is a scarcity concept, and this the ego understands  well. “A little,” then, is perceived as the real threat.
Tx:4.98 Existence as  well as being rests on communication. Existence, however, is specific
Tx:4.104  without ambivalence because it is afraid of its own weakness as  well as the weakness of its chosen home. When it is threatened, the
Tx:5.33  God. Since you are part of God, it is also the idea of yourself as  well as of all the parts of God. The idea of the Holy Spirit shares
Tx:5.40  eternity are as closely related as are time and war. Perception as  well as knowledge derives meaning from relationships. Those which you
Tx:5.66  you have not learned it. But again, your decision can be unmade as  well as made. Remember, though, that the alternatives are unalterable.
Tx:5.83  his understanding because he was afraid and, as you know all too  well, fear is incompatible with good judgment. Fear distorts thinking
Tx:5.88  Essentially, this was the basis of Freud's pessimism, personally as  well as theoretically. He tried every means his very inventive mind
Tx:6.20  I had learned the Atonement prayer, which I also came to teach, too  well to engage in upside-down thinking myself. If the Apostles had
Tx:6.28  directed by the mind which has a better Voice. The Holy Spirit as  well as the ego utilizes projection, but since their goals are
Tx:6.33  is of yours. Because your minds are split, you can also perceive as  well as think. Yet perception cannot escape from the basic laws of
Tx:6.33  unnecessary, you made it, and the Holy Spirit can therefore use it  well. He can inspire perception and lead it toward God by making it
Tx:6.45  speaks first because it is capricious and does not mean its maker  well. That is because it believes, and correctly, that its maker may
Tx:6.45  may withdraw his support from it at any moment. If it meant you  well, it would be glad, as the Holy Spirit will be glad when He has
Tx:6.65  is sharing, it becomes communion. You might argue that fear as  well as love can be communicated and therefore can be shared. Yet
Tx:7.10  you believe. This is an immutable law of the mind in this world as  well as in the Kingdom. However, the content is different in this
Tx:7.26  always teaching. You must therefore be teaching something else as  well, even though the ego does not know what it is.
Tx:7.42  God if he thinks he has something that others [do not]. You might  well ask, then, why some healing can result from this kind of
Tx:7.76  accords them always, because they are His beloved Sons in whom He is  well pleased. You cannot be apart from them, because you are not
Tx:7.108  of grace, he is out of his natural environment and does not function  well. Everything he does becomes a strain, because he was not created
Tx:7.111  very difficult for you. Out of your natural environment, you may  well ask, “What is truth?” since truth is the environment by which
Tx:8.70  why definitions in terms of function are inferior is that they may  well be inaccurate. Functions are part of being since they arise from
Tx:8.78 You might  well ask how the voice of something which does not exist can be so
Tx:9.33  because we are part of you, everything we do belongs to you as  well. Every Soul God created is part of you and shares His glory with
Tx:11.9  disguise as a crucial step in the undoing of the ego. Consider how  well the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the motives of others will
Tx:12.26  of time, and it is with this notion that your questioning might  well begin. The ego invests heavily in the past and in the end
Tx:12.48 Time can release as  well as imprison, depending on whose interpretation of it you use.
Tx:13.47  seeing it quite clearly. The Holy Spirit uses logic as easily and as  well as does the ego, except that His conclusions are not insane.
Tx:15.68  that what you do to others, you have escaped. The ego wishes no one  well. Yet its survival depends on your belief that you are exempt
Tx:15.71  he demands the other accept the guilt and sacrifice himself as  well. Forgiveness becomes impossible, for the ego believes that to
Tx:16.7  of specialness. Only the Holy Spirit recognizes foolish needs as  well as real ones. And He will teach you how to meet both without
Tx:16.21 You have taught  well, and yet you have not learned how to accept the comfort of your
Tx:18.68  of the course if you insist on using means which have served others  well, neglecting what was made for you. Save time for me by only this
Tx:19.45  in acknowledgment of the journey's end. For Heaven knows you  well, as you know Heaven. No illusions stand between you now. Look
Tx:20.9  Him to see His purpose shine forth from every altar now is yours as  well as His. He sees no strangers, only dearly loved and loving
Tx:20.43  brother's body offers you. The veil that hides the gift hides him as  well. He is the gift, and yet he knows it not. No more do you. And
Tx:20.59  and if you want a purpose, you must be willing to want the means as  well. How can one be sincere and say, “I want this above all else,
Tx:20.60  Spirit indeed asked little. He asks no more to give the means as  well. The means are second to the goal. And when you hesitate, it is
Tx:20.60  a goal is possible to reach, the means to do so must be possible as  well.
Tx:21.11 This is the vision of the Son of God, whom you know  well. Here is the sight of him who knows his Father. Here is the
Tx:21.11  you this and not the body. You know the ancient song and know it  well. Nothing will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of
Tx:21.12  song they sing in honor of their Creator gives praise to them as  well. The blindness which they made will not withstand the memory of
Tx:21.56  and belief can be misplaced and serve the great deceiver's needs as  well as truth. But reason has no place at all in madness, nor can it
Tx:22.27  overlooks the world. Would you not have this holy home be yours as  well? No misery is here, but only joy.
Tx:23.49  the means for God's extension, and what is His must be His Son's as  well. Either the Father and the Son are murderers or neither is. Life
Tx:23.52  a twinge of guilt, and above all, a loss of peace. This you know  well. When it occurs, leave not your place on high but quickly choose
Tx:24.33  specialness instead of them. The print of nails are on your hands as  well. Forgive your Father. It was not His Will that you be crucified.
Tx:24.38  is attained nor how to reach it. But do consider, and consider  well, whether it is your wish that you might see your brother
Tx:24.39  him, for you are one. And so is specialness his “enemy” and yours as  well.
Tx:24.54  of specialness that hides the face of Christ from him, and you as  well. And let the fear of God no longer hold the vision you were
Tx:24.57  and he is risen from the past. He who condemned himself, and you as  well, is given you to save from condemnation along with you. And both
Tx:24.67  you serve. Here you are but means, along with it. God is a Means as  well as End. In Heaven, means and end are one, and one with Him. This
Tx:24.71  your specialness whispers, “Here is my own beloved son, in whom I am  well pleased.” Thus does the “son” become the means to serve his
Tx:24.72  for a different purpose. And what you see will serve that purpose  well and prove its own reality to you.
Tx:25.49  it is given you. All that you made can serve salvation easily and  well. The Son of God can make no choice the Holy Spirit cannot employ
Tx:25.66  God knows not of this. But justice does He know and knows it  well. For He is wholly fair to everyone.
Tx:25.72  own justice does He recognize all you deserve but understands as  well that you cannot accept it for yourself. It is His special
Tx:25.72  innocent deserve. And every one that you accept brings joy to Him as  well as you. He knows that Heaven is richer made by each one you
Tx:26.76  Spirit's purpose now is yours. Should not His happiness be yours as  well?
Tx:26.77  be condemned, God is in him. And never will you know He is in you as  well, while you attack His chosen home and battle with His host.
Tx:26.82  dwell within the temple offered them, to be Their resting-place as  well as yours. What hatred has released to love becomes the brightest
Tx:27.10  Pictured without a purpose, it is seen as neither sick nor  well, nor bad nor good. No grounds are offered that it may be judged
Tx:27.15  accusers. They cannot forgive their brothers and themselves as  well. For no one in whom true forgiveness reigns can suffer. He holds
Tx:27.19  guilt upon your brother and yourself. Your healing saves him pain as  well as you, and you are healed because you wished him well. This is
Tx:27.19  him pain as well as you, and you are healed because you wished him  well. This is the law the miracle obeys; that healing sees no
Tx:27.39  But tell it what you want, and it will serve you lovingly and  well.” And this is not a question, for it tells you what you want and
Tx:27.47  reproach, and suffering whispers, “What is there to fear?” Consider  well its question. It is asked of you on your behalf. A dying world
Tx:28.19 —that you have caused the dream and can accept another dream as  well. But for this change in content of the dream, it must be
Tx:28.21  but does not know he sleeps. He sees illusions of himself as sick or  well, depressed or happy, but without a stable cause with guaranteed
Tx:28.41  the gap between you, or you must believe that it is your reality as  well as his. You cannot do his part, but this you do when you become
Tx:28.42  if you took your own away would he be free of them and of his own as  well. Your dreams are witnesses to his, and his attest the truth of
Tx:28.63  to be a form, yet it is one, as is its opposite. And you are sick or  well accordingly.
Tx:29.42  Let this be changed, and nothing in the world but must be changed as  well. For nothing here but is defined as what you see it for. How
Tx:29.60  not lose it, did He also give the same to every living thing as  well. And thus is every living thing a part of you, as of Himself. No
Tx:30.2  The proper set, adopted consciously each time you wake, will put you  well ahead. And if you find resistance strong and dedication weak,
Tx:30.9 These two procedures, practiced  well, will serve to let you be directed without fear, for opposition
Tx:30.27  a question that makes sense, and so the answer will make sense as  well. Nor will you fight against it, for you see that it is you who
Tx:30.31 The second rule as  well is but a fact. For you and your advisor must agree on what you
Tx:30.31  are made by you and your advisor for yourself and for the world as  well. The day you want you offer to the world, for it will be what
Tx:30.35  Now hear God speak to you through Him Who is His Voice and yours as  well, reminding you that it is not your will to hate and be a
Tx:30.68  an idol thoughtlessly, remembering that he will pay the cost as  well as you. For he will be delayed when you look back, and you will
Tx:31.16  you gave the leader's role when you would have it, and you hate as  well his not assuming it at times you want to let the follower in you
Tx:31.17  is life as easily as death, for what you choose, you choose as  well for him. Two calls you make to him, as he to you. Between these
Tx:31.17  hear in him is but your own. What does he ask you for? And listen  well! For he is asking what will come to you because you see an image
Tx:31.26  and to every situation that occurs. Learn this and learn it  well, for it is here delay of happiness is shortened by a span of
Tx:31.43  a concept of the self adjusted to the world's reality. It fits it  well. For this an image is that suits a world of shadows and
Tx:31.48  points to him, unwavering and deadly in its aim. It points to you as  well, but this is kept still deeper in the mists below the face of
Tx:31.51  you should do in every circumstance? He must have made the world as  well as you to have such prescience in the things to come.
Tx:31.70  perceived as coming from the “baser” part of you and thus of him as  well. By focusing upon the good in him, the body grows decreasingly
Tx:31.81  to make yourself a thing which you are not. And think as  well upon the thing that you would be instead. It is a thing of
W1:4.2  specificity is required. Do not be afraid to use “good” thoughts as  well as “bad.” None of them represents your real thoughts, which are
W1:23.3  is a pictorial representation of your own attack thoughts. One can  well ask if this can be called seeing. Is not fantasy a better word
W1:29.1  explains every idea we have used thus far and all subsequent ones as  well. Today's idea is the whole basis for vision.
W1:30.4  to this idea, try to think of things beyond your present range as  well as those you can actually see, as you apply today's idea. Real
W1:30.5 To aid in helping you to become more accustomed to this idea as  well, devote several practice periods to applying today's idea with
W1:35.5  exercise period, however, more self-inflating descriptive terms may  well cross your mind. Try to recognize that the direction of your
W1:36.1  part of God's. And because you are holy, your sight must be holy as  well. “Sinless” means without sin. You cannot be without sin a
W1:40.2  not miss a practice period because of this. You can practice quite  well under almost any circumstance, if you really want to.
W1:43.14 This form is equally applicable to strangers and to those you know  well. Try, in fact, not to make distinctions of this kind at all.
W1:45.2  are in the Mind of God, as you are. They are in your mind as  well, where He is. As you are part of His Mind, so are your thoughts
W1:46.4 If you are doing the exercises  well, you should have no difficulty in finding a number of people you
W1:53.2  what it produces. Reality is not insane, and I have real thoughts as  well as insane ones. I can therefore see a real world if I look to my
W1:54.3  of mind can change. And so I also know the world I see can change as  well.
W1:54.4  And the world my real thoughts show me will dawn on their sight as  well as mine.
W1:62.4  for you as God wants you to be. And it will help those around you as  well as those who seem to be far away in space and time to share this
W1:64.5  of it in the morning and again at night and all through the day as  well.
W1:65.4  to arrange your day so that you have set apart the time for God, as  well as for all the trivial purposes and goals you will pursue. This
W1:70.3  in your own mind entails the realization that salvation is there as  well.
W1:70.7  follow this practice for a number of lessons, and it would again be  well to decide in advance when would be a good time to lay aside for
W1:72.4  is God attacked, for if His Son is only a body, so must He be as  well. A creator wholly unlike his creation is inconceivable.
W1:72.7  cannot enter, the ego comes to save you. God made you a body. Very  well. Let us accept this and be glad. As a body, do not let yourself
W1:73.7  want. Such is your will in truth. And so salvation is your will as  well. You want to succeed in what we are trying to do today. We
W1:74.15  or two every half-hour, with eyes closed if possible, would be  well spent on this today.
W1:76.12  creation endlessly increased. His Voice will speak of this to us, as  well as of the joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever.
W1:76.14  as often as possible today—at least four or five times an hour, as  well as in response to any temptation to experience ourselves as
W1:78.7  he gave. We will regard his body with its flaws and better points as  well, and we will think of his mistakes and even of his “sins.”
W1:78.12  may share it with them. For you both, and all the sightless ones as  well, we pray:
W1:R2.5 Reaffirm your determination in the shorter practice periods as  well, using the original form of the idea for general application and
W1:87.7  Will of God. It is God's Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as  well. This is part of God's Will for me, however I may see it.
W1:94.2  your sinlessness must be the guarantee of strength and light as  well. You are as God created you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory
W1:95.8 There may  well be a temptation to regard the day as lost because you have
W1:98.11  then of Him Who knows the function that you have on earth as  well as Heaven. He will be with you each practice period you share
W1:99.9 You who will yet work miracles, be sure you practice  well the idea for today. Try to perceive the strength in what you
W1:100.5  we do, we fail to take the part that is essential to God's plan as  well as to our vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play
W1:103.1  has no limits, being everywhere. And therefore joy is everywhere as  well. Yet can the mind deny that this is so, believing there are gaps
W1:105.6  You will understand that what completes Him must complete His Son as  well. He cannot give through loss. No more can you. Receive His gift
W1:107.10  by the self-same thought which gave the gift of life to Him as  well. He is your brother and so like to you your Father knows that
W1:109.10  doors, and let them come from far across the world, and near as  well—your distant brothers and your closest friends—bid them all
W1:R3.7  them in perfect trust, in perfect confidence that you would use them  well, in perfect faith that you would see their messages and use them
W1:R3.7  Since it has His trust, His means must surely merit yours as  well.
W1:R3.10 Here is another chance to use it  well. In these reviews we stress the need to let your learning not
W1:R3.11  and let it serve to help you keep your peace throughout the day as  well. If you are shaken, think of it again. These practice periods
W1:R3.13  to use each hour and the one to be applied on each half hour as  well. Forget them not. This second chance with each of these ideas
W1:121.6  an idea you taught yourself, forgiveness must be learned by you as  well, but from a Teacher other than yourself, who represents the
W1:123.1  remains, some small objections, and a little hesitance, but we can  well be grateful for our gains, which are far greater than we realize.
W1:123.3  will remain shining on you, forever without change. Give thanks as  well that you are changeless, for the Son He loves is changeless as
W1:123.5  if it be not heard. In thanking Him the thanks are yours as  well. An unheard message will not save the world, however mighty be
W1:124.5  which they were created. And we see it in the dying and the dead as  well, restoring them to life. All this we see because we saw it first
W1:124.7  as we say that we are one with God. For in these words we say as  well that we are saved and healed, that we can save and heal
W1:127.4  There is no limit placed upon Himself, and so are you unlimited as  well.
W1:127.5  upholds but violates the truth of what love is, and what you are as  well. Seek not within the world to find your Self. Love is not found
W1:128.8 Protect your mind throughout the day as  well. And when you think you see some value in an aspect or an image
W1:131.5 Be glad that search you must. Be glad as  well to learn you search for Heaven and must find the goal you really
W1:131.14  the senseless world you think is real. Review the thoughts as  well which are compatible with such a world and which you think are
W1:132.19  realize that healing comes to many brothers far across the world as  well as to the ones you see near by as you send out these thoughts to
W1:136.1  what purpose sickness seems to serve. For then he understands as  well its purpose has no meaning. Being causeless and without a
W1:136.19  has been opened to relief. And you will recognize you practiced  well by this—the body should not feel at all. If you have been
W1:136.19  been successful, there will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling  well, of pain or pleasure. No response at all is in the mind to what
W1:136.20  laws you made it serve before. You need do nothing now to make it  well, for sickness has become impossible.
W1:137.14  to these thoughts with which we will conclude today at night as  well:
W1:137.16  thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we come together to make  well all that was sick and offer blessing where there was attack. Nor
W1:138.1  and what we want we choose. If Heaven exists, there must be hell as  well, for contradiction is the way we make what we perceive and what
W1:138.7  is seen as conflict. To resolve the conflict is to end your life as  well.
W1:140.1  takes another form, and so the patient now perceives himself as  well.
W1:140.2  he was sick, and in the dream he found a magic formula to make him  well. Yet he has not awakened from the dream, and so his mind remains
W1:151.10 Let Him be judge as  well of everything that seems to happen to you in this world. His
W1:152.3  too often said and thought about. For if what is not true is true as  well as what is true, then part of truth is false, and truth has lost
W1:152.11 To recognize God's Son implies as  well that all self-concepts have been laid aside and recognized as
W1:153.1  the “gifts” it merely lends to take away again, attend this lesson  well. The world provides no safety. It is rooted in attack and all
W1:153.10  are among the chosen ones of God by His election and their own as  well?
W1:154.2  selected by the Voice for God, Whose function is to speak for you as  well. Seeing your strengths exactly as they are and equally aware of
W1:154.9  for you the messages of God would have them be received by you as  well. For thus do you identify with Him and claim your own.
W1:155.10  illusions walking in the way you traveled will be gone from you as  well, with nothing left to keep the truth apart from God's
W1:156.3 Yet where He is there must be holiness as  well as life. No attribute of His remains unshared by everything that
W1:157.8  will have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose and will serve it  well. Today we will embark upon a course you have not dreamed of. But
W1:158.1  was given you as knowledge which you cannot lose. It was given as  well to every living thing, for by that knowledge only does it live.
W1:158.10  to give as you receive. And thus Christ's vision looks on you as  well. This lesson is not difficult to learn if you remember in your
W1:158.11  by the holy gifts we give, Christ's vision looks upon ourselves as  well.
W1:163.7  eternal life gave way to death. And with the Father died the Son as  well.
W1:163.8  we renounce it now in every form for their salvation and our own as  well. God made not death. Whatever form it takes must therefore be
W1:166.12  reminded you of all the gifts that God has given you. He speaks as  well of what becomes your will when you accept these gifts and
W1:167.4  becoming different from their own origin, apart from it in kind as  well as distance, time, and form.
W1:167.11  that we share with Him, with all creation, with their thoughts as  well, whom He created in a unity of life that cannot separate in
W1:181.1  Self that lies beyond your own mistakes and past his seeming sins as  well as yours.
W1:181.9  inevitably ours. And the love He feels for us becomes our own as  well. This will become the only thing we see reflected in the world
W1:182.5  the holy air that fills His Father's house. You are His home as  well. He will return. But give Him just a little time to be Himself
W1:183.10  can accept today the part you play in its salvation and your own as  well, and both can be accomplished perfectly.
W1:184.2  is achieved. You see something where nothing is and see as  well nothing where there is unity—a space between all things,
W1:184.3  nameless things were given names and thus reality was given them as  well. For what is named is given meaning and will then be seen as
W1:184.9  the symbols of the world a while. But be you not deceived by them as  well. They do not stand for anything at all, and in your practicing,
W1:185.10  peace of God. And so do all who seem to seek for dreams. For them as  well as for yourself you ask but this when you make this request with
W1:186.1  proper role. It but acknowledges the Will of God is done on earth as  well as Heaven. It unites all wills on earth in Heaven's plan to save
W1:186.2  suited perfectly to take the part assigned to us by One Who knows us  well.
W1:187.5  of them. There is a giver who retains, another who will give as  well. And both must gain in this exchange, for each will have the
W1:187.6  to recognize the many forms which sacrifice may take. He laughs as  well at pain and loss, at sickness and at grief, at poverty,
W1:187.8  will correct it. Given first to you, it now is yours to give as  well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the
W1:188.1  of the world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as  well. The light came with you from your native home and stayed with
W1:188.4  what it has forgotten, and the world restores the memory to you as  well. From you salvation radiates with gifts beyond all measure,
W1:188.7 God's peace is shining on them, but they must remain with you as  well, for they were born within your mind as yours was born in God's.
W1:189.8  merely to let Him be. For in that way is your reality acclaimed as  well.
W1:189.10  find and follow. And we ask but that Your Will, which is our own as  well, be done in us and in the world, that it becomes a part of
W1:191.1  your declaration of release from bondage of the world. And here as  well is all the world released. You do not see what you have done by
W1:191.6  holy Son of God Himself. And with this holy thought, you learn as  well that you have freed the world. You have no need to use it
W1:194.4  experience that you have laid the past and present in His hands as  well because the past will punish you no more and future dread will
W1:196.11  time when it can kill at last. Yet in this instant is the time as  well in which salvation comes. For fear of God has disappeared. And
W1:197.3  it release from your illusions. Yet your thanks belong to you as  well, for its release can only mirror yours. Your gratitude is all
W1:198.12  Let today be celebrated both on earth and in your holy home as  well. Be kind to both, as you forgive the trespasses you thought them
W1:199.5  the world, and none which will not gain in added gifts to you as  well. We sound the call of freedom round the world with this idea.
W1:199.6  of freedom as its goal, the body serves, and serves its purpose  well. Without the power to enslave, it is a worthy servant of the
W1:199.8  live forever. Would you not return your mind to this? Then practice  well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for today. Your brothers
W1:203.1  from every thought of evil and of sin, because it is my own as  well as His. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God

W2:248.2  my ancient love for You returns and lets me love Your Son again as  well. Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your Love remembered and
W2:WIS.2  replacement for the goal of self-deception. Truth can be its aim as  well as lies. The senses then will seek instead for witnesses to what

W2:257.2  have no will but Yours today. And thus our purpose must be Yours as  well if we would reach the peace You will for us.
W2:265.2  I look upon the world, which but reflects Your thoughts and mine as  well. Let me remember that they are the same, and I will see
W2:WIC.1  He is the Self we share, uniting us with one another and with God as  well. He is the Thought Which still abides within the Mind That is
W2:274.1  brother and his friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as  well the truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace
W2:280.2  that I give to him is Yours, and what is Yours belongs to me as  well.
W2:281.2  not attack the Son He loves, for what He loves is mine to love as  well.
W2:291.1  accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for the world as  well. What loveliness we look upon today! What holiness we see
W2:294.1 I am a Son of God. And can I be another thing as  well? Did God create the mortal and corruptible? What use has God's
W2:WILJ.2  slips away to nothingness. There it was born, and there it ends as  well. And all the figures in the dream in which the world began go
W2:312.2  this is Your will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as  well.

W2:318.1  God's Son, His one Eternal Love. I am salvation's means and end as  well.
W2:320.2 Your Will can do all things in me and then extend to all the world as  well through me. There is no limit on Your Will. And so all power has
W2:335.2  In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as  well.
W2:343.1  created me to be like You, so sacrifice becomes impossible for me as  well as You. I too must give, and so all things are given unto me
W2:348.2  that He would have us do. And only that we choose to be our will, as  well as His.
W2:WAI.2  that we shared. And thus you joined with me. So what I am are you as  well. The truth of what we are is not for words to speak of nor
W2:354.1  His own. And He is like His Father. Thus must I be one with You as  well as Him. For who is Christ except Your Son as You created Him?
W2:358.1  me comes from God Himself. Your Voice, my Father, then is mine as  well, and all I want is what You offer me, in just the form You chose

Tx:14.23  function is entirely communication. He therefore must remove  whatever interferes with it in order to restore it. Therefore, keep

Tx:15.79  to learn of Him what the truth must be. He is swift to utilize  whatever you offer Him on behalf of this. His concern and care for

Tx:15.97 As host to the ego, you believe that you can give all your guilt away  whatever you think and purchase peace. And the payment does not seem
Tx:16.35  necessary to seek for what is false. Every illusion is one of fear,  whatever form it takes. And the attempt to escape from one illusion
Tx:16.43  seem to be gone. All these must be understood for what they are.  Whatever form they take, they are always an attack on the self to

Tx:25.39  to see. Nor do you hear his plaintive call, unchanged in content in  whatever form the call is made, that you unite with him and join with
Tx:25.58  to understand it cost him his sanity and stands between him and  whatever hope he has of being sane. Nor is he left without escape
Tx:25.66  that one should lack for what another has. For that is vengeance in  whatever form it takes. Justice demands no sacrifice, for any

Tx:26.85  limited. If it occurs at all, it will be total. And its presence, in  whatever form, will hide Their Presence. They are known with clarity
Tx:26.88  that you are innocent of this and victimized despite your innocence?  Whatever way the game of guilt is played, there must be loss. Someone

Tx:27.57  what it should feel and what its function is. Yet must He love  whatever you hold dear. And for each witness to the body's death He
Tx:27.68  himself as making them, and their reality does not depend on him.  Whatever cause they have is something quite apart from him, and what
Tx:27.86  takes the role of enemy and of attacker, still is this the truth.  Whatever seems to be the cause of any pain and suffering you feel,
Tx:27.86  dream. This single lesson learned will set you free from suffering,  whatever form it takes.
Tx:27.87  learned, regardless of the form of suffering that brings you pain.  Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will make answer with this very
Tx:28.38  certainty right here and now. Refuse to be a part of fearful dreams  whatever form they take, for you will lose identity in them. You find
Tx:29.30  of love. For at its center is His love for you, which lights  whatever form it takes with love.

Tx:30.54  about when you decide one very simple thing—you do not want  whatever you believe an idol gives. For thus the Son of God declares
Tx:31.26  You never hate your brother for his sins, but only for your own.  Whatever form his sins appear to take, it but obscures the fact that

Tx:31.79  Whatever form temptation seems to take, it always but reflects a wish
W1:I.5  to make no exceptions in applying the ideas the exercises contain.  Whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more
W1:1.1  around you, and practice applying this idea very specifically to  whatever you see:
W1:2.1  one. Begin with the things that are near you, and apply the idea to  whatever your glance rests on. Then increase the range outward. Turn
W1:2.1  Then increase the range outward. Turn your head so that you include  whatever is to either side. If possible, turn around and apply the
W1:3.1  way as the previous ones, without making distinctions of any kind.  Whatever you see becomes a proper subject for applying the idea. Be
W1:5.1  or event you think is causing you pain. Apply it specifically to  whatever you believe is the cause of your upset, using the
W1:5.1  is the cause of your upset, using the description of the feeling in  whatever term seems accurate to you. The upset may seem to be fear,
W1:5.7 Then examine your mind for  whatever is distressing you, regardless of how much or how little you
W1:7.10 Look about you. This is equally true of  whatever you look at. Acknowledge this by applying the idea for today
W1:7.10  Acknowledge this by applying the idea for today indiscriminately to  whatever catches your eye. For example:
W1:9.3  involve looking about you and applying the idea for the day to  whatever you see, remembering the need for its indiscriminate
W1:12.2  What you see does not matter. You teach yourself this as you give  whatever your glance rests on equal attention and equal time. This is
W1:12.5 and so on, using  whatever descriptive terms happen to occur to you. If terms which

W1:15.4  idea for today, repeat it first to yourself, and then apply it to  whatever you see around you, using its name and letting your eyes
W1:25.6  today followed by looking about you and letting your glance rest on  whatever happens to catch your eye, near or far, “important” or
W1:26.12  less acceptable to you. Try, however, to treat them all alike to  whatever extent you can.
W1:28.7  in which the idea for the day is stated first and then applied to  whatever you see in looking about you. Not only should the subjects
W1:30.5  periods to applying today's idea with your eyes closed, using  whatever subjects come to mind and looking within rather than
W1:31.3 As you survey your inner world, merely let  whatever thoughts cross your mind come into your awareness, each to
W1:36.3  and look quite slowly about you, applying the idea specifically to  whatever you note in your casual survey. Say, for example:
W1:37.4  by a minute or so of looking about you as you apply the idea to  whatever you see:
W1:38.8 Introduce  whatever variations appeal to you, but keep the exercises focused on
W1:39.6  yourself. Then with closed eyes search out your unloving thoughts in  whatever form they appear—uneasiness, depression, anger, fear,
W1:39.6  depression, anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity, and so on.  Whatever form they take, they are unloving and therefore fearful. And
W1:39.11  should feel free to introduce variety into your practice periods in  whatever form appeals to you. Do not, however, change the idea itself
W1:42.2  you can receive it any time and anywhere, wherever you are and in  whatever circumstances you find yourself. Your passage through time
W1:43.3 You cannot see apart from God because you cannot be apart from God.  Whatever you do, you do in Him because whatever you think, you think
W1:43.3  you cannot be apart from God. Whatever you do, you do in Him because  whatever you think, you think with His Mind. If vision is real, and
W1:43.8  period, close your eyes, repeat today's idea again, and then let  whatever relevant thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your own
W1:44.6  from time to time that to reach light is to escape from darkness,  whatever you may believe to the contrary. God is the Light in which
W1:50.3  eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the answer to  whatever confronts you today. Through the Love of God in you, you can
W1:53.6 [15] My thoughts are images which I have made.  Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. It is my thoughts which tell me
W1:65.5  idea to yourself once again, and watch your mind carefully to catch  whatever thoughts cross it.
W1:70.13  walk on into the light of real salvation. Try to pass the clouds by  whatever means appeals to you. If it helps you, think of me holding
W1:R2.3  intent to waver in the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that,  whatever form such thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no
W1:93.7  thought—you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself.  Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you.
W1:93.7  Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you.  Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged.
W1:R3.4  periods which you have lost because you did not want to do them for  whatever reason should be done as soon as you have changed your mind
W1:129.11  hourly, and take a moment to confirm your choice by laying by  whatever thoughts you have, and dwelling briefly only upon this:
W1:130.12  that hell would show to you. All you need say to any part of hell,  whatever form it takes, is simply this:
W1:136.6  which is not there. It is this process which imposes threat, and not  whatever outcome may result.
W1:140.10  amulets, our charms and medicines, our chants and bits of magic in  whatever form they took. We will be still and listen for the Voice of
W1:154.2  Whatever your appointed role may be, it was selected by the Voice for

whether (57)

Tx:3.23  Correctly understood, the issue revolves around the question of  whether the body or the mind can see (or understand). This is not
Tx:3.62  which emphasizes only the positive aspects of what is judged,  whether it be in or out of the self. However, what has been perceived
Tx:3.62  he would not have judged against it. It does not matter in the end  whether you judge right or wrong. Either way, you are placing your
Tx:3.68  such uncertainty in the minds of men that some have even doubted  whether they really exist at all. Despite the apparent contradiction
Tx:4.29  likely to decide that you need precisely what would hurt you most.  Whether you know it now or not, however, you have willed to cooperate
Tx:4.55  The ego is desperate because it opposes literally invincible odds,  whether you are asleep or awake. Consider how much vigilance you have
Tx:4.67  I am not attacking your egos, I am working with your higher mind  whether you are asleep or awake, just as your ego does with your

Tx:7.100  would object to this goal if he recognized it. The problem is not  whether what the Holy Spirit says is true, but whether you want to
Tx:7.100  The problem is not whether what the Holy Spirit says is true, but  whether you want to listen to what He says.
Tx:8.91  who you are. If you do not know your reality, how would you know  whether it is fearful or not?
Tx:9.16  ask yourself, regardless of how you can account for the reactions,  whether they place the ego in a very sound position as the guide for
Tx:9.50  in terms of attack. When it experiences threat, its only decision is  whether to attack now or to withdraw to attack later. If you accept
Tx:9.78  at the logical conclusion of the ego's thought system and judge  whether its offering is really what you want, for this is what it
Tx:10.22  He cannot help you without your invitation, and the ego is nothing  whether you invite it in or not. Real freedom depends on welcoming
Tx:10.63  he worships over him. For he places himself at the altar of his god,  whether it be the god he made or the God who created him. That is why
Tx:11.40  you are not at home in this world. And you will search for your home  whether you know where it is or not. If you believe it is outside
Tx:11.67  before that what you project is up to you, but it is not up to you  whether to project, for projection is a law of mind. Perception is

Tx:15.19  Spirit. And they support His strength. It is, therefore, your choice  whether they support the ego or the Holy Spirit in you. And you will
Tx:16.57  and complete escape from all its consequences. The decision  whether or not to listen to this course and follow it is but the

Tx:21.5  and not forget. It is not this you would deny. Your question is  whether the means by which this course is learned will bring to you
Tx:21.77  the choice of truth or sin, power or helplessness, is the choice of  whether to attack or heal. For healing comes of power and attack of
Tx:21.77  be protected from attack. And what is this decision but the choice  whether to see him through the body's eyes or let him be revealed to
Tx:22.63  The only question to be answered to decide which must be true is  whether you are different. From the position of what you understand,
Tx:23.24  for His belief. His Son can tell Him this, and He has but the choice  whether to take his word for it or be mistaken. This leads directly
Tx:23.40  any instant it is possible to have all this undone. How can you know  whether you chose the stairs to Heaven or the way to hell? Quite
Tx:24.38  is attained nor how to reach it. But do consider, and consider well,  whether it is your wish that you might see your brother sinless. To
Tx:26.13  so He takes the thorns and nails away. He does not pause to judge  whether the hurt be large or little. He makes but one judgment—that
Tx:26.30  will another road be made except the way to Heaven. You but choose  whether to go toward Heaven or away to nowhere. There is nothing else
Tx:29.28  like the dream. If it should fail, you think the dream is sad. But  whether it succeeds or fails is not its core but just the flimsy
Tx:30.46  lifted up, and anchored sure. Its perfect purity does not depend on  whether it is seen on earth or not. The sky embraces it and softly
Tx:31.79  with love or look with hate, depending only on the simple choice of  whether you would join with what you see or keep yourself apart and
W1:7.9  to the cup, too, based on past experiences? How else would you know  whether or not this kind of cup will break if you drop it? What do
W1:28.1  you will be making a series of definite commitments. The question of  whether you will keep them in the future is not our concern here. If
W1:49.1  mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God,  whether you are aware of it or not. It is the other part of your mind
W1:52.5  that I see nothing. I can see only what is now. The choice is not  whether to see the past or the present: it is whether to see or not.
W1:52.5  now. The choice is not whether to see the past or the present: it is  whether to see or not. What I have chosen to see has cost me vision.
W1:64.5 There is no other way. Therefore every time you choose  whether or not to fulfill your function, you are really choosing
W1:64.5  whether or not to fulfill your function, you are really choosing  whether to be happy or not. Let us remember this today. Let us remind
W1:66.12  great honesty today. Remember the outcomes fairly and consider also  whether it was ever reasonable to expect happiness from anything the

M:11.2 Again we come to the question of judgment. This time, ask yourself  whether your judgment or the Word of God is more likely to be true.
M:22.2 The progress of the teacher of God may be slow or rapid, depending on  whether he recognizes the Atonement's inclusiveness or for a time

Tx:2.54 All physical illness represents a belief in magic. The  whole distortion which created magic rests on the belief that there
Tx:2.59  the highest level of communication of which he is capable now. The  whole aim of the miracle is to raise the level of communication, not

Tx:3.13  the truth. It is unwise to accept any concept if you have to turn a  whole frame of reference around in order to justify it. This
Tx:3.31  involves different interpretations, and this means that it is not  whole. The miracle is a way of perceiving, not of knowing. It is the
Tx:3.45  itself from the Soul because it is from the Soul that it derives its  whole power to create. Even in miscreation will is affirming its
Tx:3.74 This makes absolutely no sense. The  whole picture is one in which man acts in a way he himself realizes
Tx:4.31  egos because it cannot establish the reality of itself. In fact, its  whole perception of other egos as real is only an attempt to convince
Tx:4.41  Creator create, and what else but you is His Kingdom? This is the  whole message of the Atonement, a message which in its totality
Tx:4.81  while accurate perception is a stepping-stone towards it. The  whole value of right perception lies in the inevitable judgment which
Tx:4.83  and if you associate yourself with the ego, you do not perceive the  whole situation as it is. Only your allegiance to it gives the ego
Tx:4.86  be used here because as you learn how much you are indebted to the  whole Sonship, which includes me, you come as close to knowledge as
Tx:4.89  accord with His. I have told you before that I am in charge of the  whole Atonement. This is only because I completed my part in it as a
Tx:4.95 Everything the ego perceives is a separate  whole, without the relationships that imply being. The ego is thus
Tx:4.101  but He cannot share His joy with you until you know it with your  whole mind. Even revelation is not enough because it is communication
Tx:5.2  to be wholly fearful and remain alive, then the only possible  whole state is that of love. There is no difference between love and
Tx:5.2  is no difference between love and joy. Therefore, the only possible  whole state is the wholly joyous. To heal or to make joyous is
Tx:5.6  If you can accept the concept that the world is one of ideas, the  whole belief in the false association which the ego makes between
Tx:5.18  separation, the means by which the Atonement could repair until the  whole mind returned to creating.
Tx:5.20  of the integrity of the mind. When the Atonement is complete and the  whole Sonship is healed, there will be no call to return, but what

Tx:5.91  God created is equally worthy of being healed because God created it  whole. You are merely asked to return to God the mind as He created
Tx:6.20  glaring examples of upside-down thinking in the New Testament, whose  whole gospel is only the message of love. These are not like the
Tx:6.21  thou the Son of Man with a kiss?” unless I believed in betrayal. The  whole message of the crucifixion was simply that I did not. The
Tx:6.25  of God, which is His peace, cannot be appreciated except by a  whole mind which recognizes the wholeness of God's creation and by
Tx:6.34  only for this because he speaks for God. He tells you to return your  whole mind to God, because it has never left Him. If it has never
Tx:6.37  He looks He sees Himself, and because He is united, He offers the  whole Kingdom always. This is the one message God gave to Him and for
Tx:6.45  you. Herein lies its primary perceptual error, the foundation of its  whole thought system.
Tx:6.57  you that you had made a split mind, when He knows your mind only as  whole? What God does know is that His communication channels are not
Tx:6.82  you must be critical, since your salvation is critical to the  whole Sonship. We said before that the Holy Spirit is evaluative and
Tx:6.89  created it. Therefore, you are accepting it as it is. Since it is  whole, you are teaching peace because you believe in it. The final
Tx:6.92  to is measurable. On the contrary, unless it transfers to the  whole Sonship, which is immeasurable because it was created by the
Tx:6.92  Immeasurable, the learning itself must be incomplete. To teach the  whole Sonship without exception demonstrates that you perceive its
Tx:7.6  you that your joy may be complete, because the Kingdom of God is  whole. We have said that the last step in the reawakening of
Tx:7.9  a brother perceives himself as sick, he is perceiving himself as not  whole and therefore in need. If you too see him this way, you are
Tx:7.15  form of what he translates, never changes the meaning. In fact, his  whole purpose is to change the form so that the original meaning is
Tx:7.33  not come directly from God, Who knows His creations as perfectly  whole. Yet healing is [nevertheless] of God, because it proceeds from
Tx:7.35  He can use them only for healing, because He knows you only as  whole. By healing you learn of wholeness, and by learning of
Tx:7.44  only consistence is conflict-free, and only the conflict-free are  whole. By accepting exceptions and acknowledging that he can
Tx:7.46  yours. Your meaning cannot be out of accord with His because your  whole meaning, and your only meaning, comes from His and is like His.
Tx:7.50  by your creations, which can only be created as you were. The  whole glory and perfect joy that is the Kingdom lies in you to give.
Tx:7.53 This light will shine back upon you and on the  whole Sonship, because this is your proper gift to God. He will
Tx:7.73  lasts. And perception will last until the Sonship knows itself as  whole.
Tx:7.87  that it can, a fallacy which the ego always makes, underlies its  whole use of projection. It does not understand what mind is and
Tx:7.88  their effects will vanish from your minds and from the Sonship as a  whole.
Tx:7.90 The  whole purpose of this course is to teach you that the ego is
Tx:7.90  idea of separation and affirming your true identification with the  whole Kingdom as literally part of you. This identification is as
Tx:7.92  is included in its own, as it is included in God. The power of the  whole Sonship and of its Creator is therefore the Soul's own
Tx:7.92  therefore the Soul's own fullness, rendering its creations equally  whole and equal in perfection. The ego cannot prevail against a
Tx:7.93  can the fullness of its Creator. Fullness is extension. The ego's  whole thought system blocks extension and thus blocks your only
Tx:7.94  Exclude any part of the Kingdom from yourself, and you are not  whole. A split mind cannot perceive its fullness and needs the
Tx:7.95  creation belongs to everyone, being created for the Sonship as a  whole.
Tx:7.96  radiance is so intense that it creates in perfect joy, and only the  whole can be born of its wholeness.
Tx:7.97  including any part of totality in the lesson, you have included the  whole. You have said that when you write of the Kingdom and your
Tx:7.97  in a sense, but no more true than your failure to acknowledge the  whole result of the ego's premises. The Kingdom is the result of
Tx:7.98  you could possibly want any part of it is because you do not see the  whole of it. You [therefore] are willing to look at the ego's
Tx:7.101  be confused about joy and pain. This confusion is the cause of the  whole idea of sacrifice. Obey the Holy Spirit, and you will be giving
Tx:7.105  with me is not really open to choice, though it may seem to be. The  whole separation lies in this fallacy. The only way out of the
Tx:7.112  brothers, who created them with you. We said before that only the  whole Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with God, because only the
Tx:7.112  whole Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with God, because only the  whole Sonship can create like Him. Whenever you heal a brother by
Tx:8.31  to unite must be unequivocal, or the will itself is divided or not  whole. Your will is the means by which you determine your own
Tx:8.37 Yet to heal is still to make  whole. Therefore, to heal is to unite with those who are like you,
Tx:8.49  because apart from each other we cannot function at all. The  whole power of God's Son lies in all of us, but not in any of us
Tx:8.61 In the world, not even the body is perceived as  whole. Its purpose is seen as fragmented into many functions which
Tx:8.62  solely for communication. Since this is natural, it heals by making  whole, which is also natural. All mind is whole, and the belief that
Tx:8.62  it heals by making whole, which is also natural. All mind is  whole, and the belief that part of it is physical, or not mind, is a
Tx:8.65  the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the body becomes  whole, because the mind's purpose is one. Attack can only be an
Tx:8.66  this limit on yourself. Are you willing to accept this, when your  whole purpose for learning should be to escape from limitations? To
Tx:8.70  they arise from it, but the relationship is not reciprocal. The  whole does define the part, but the part does not define the whole.
Tx:8.70  The whole does define the part, but the part does not define the  whole. This is as true of knowledge as it is of perception. The
Tx:8.70  difference between knowledge and perception. In perception the  whole is built up of parts, which can separate and reassemble in
Tx:8.70  in which change is possible. There is no difference between the  whole and the part where change is impossible.
Tx:8.81  because it is so powerful that your little part will bring the  whole to you. Accept then your little part, and let the whole be
Tx:8.81  bring the whole to you. Accept then your little part, and let the  whole be yours.
Tx:8.87  do the works of love, because we share this oneness. Our minds are  whole because they are one. If you are sick you are withdrawing from
Tx:8.94 The only source of fear in this  whole process can only be what you think you lose. Yet it is only
Tx:9.16  question, ridiculous as it seems, is really the crucial issue in the  whole separation fantasy. Anyone who elects a totally insane guide
Tx:9.34  Each part you remember adds to your wholeness, because each part is  whole. Wholeness is indivisible, but you cannot learn of your
Tx:9.43  is meaningless within the ego's thought system, because it opens the  whole thought system to question.
Tx:9.44  littleness, therefore, is to deny all knowledge and keep the ego's  whole thought system intact. You cannot retain part of a thought
Tx:9.80  you. I know your value for you, and it is this value that makes you  whole. A whole mind is not idolatrous and does not know of
Tx:9.80  your value for you, and it is this value that makes you whole. A  whole mind is not idolatrous and does not know of conflicting laws. I
Tx:9.80  only one message, and it is true. Your faith in it will make you  whole when you have faith in me.
Tx:9.86  illusions because truth and illusions are irreconcilable. Truth is  whole and cannot be known by part of a mind.
Tx:10.2  system. And either the ego, which you made, is your father, or its  whole thought system will not stand.
Tx:10.14  God's Will because you believe it is not yours. This belief is your  whole sickness and your whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and
Tx:10.14  believe it is not yours. This belief is your whole sickness and your  whole fear. Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here because
Tx:10.19 Healing is a sign that he wants to make  whole. And this willingness opens his own ears to the Voice of the
Tx:10.19  you would undertake, for beside your small willingness to make  whole, He will lay His own complete will and make yours whole. What
Tx:10.19  to make whole, He will lay His own complete will and make yours  whole. What can the Son of God not accomplish with the Fatherhood of
Tx:10.30  you cannot enter. For you cannot understand Wholeness unless you are  whole, and no part of the Son can be excluded if he would know the
Tx:10.30  know the Wholeness of his Father. In your mind, you can accept the  whole Sonship and bless it with the light your Father gave it. Then
Tx:10.38  Father or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God and in whom the  whole Sonship rests.
Tx:10.41  meaningless. “Dynamics” implies the power to do something, and the  whole separation fallacy lies in the belief that the ego has the
Tx:10.45 Yours is the independence of creation, not of autonomy. Your  whole creative function lies in your complete dependence on God,
Tx:10.64  compel your allegiance gladly because it is the symbol of joy. Its  whole compelling power lies in the fact that it represents what you
Tx:10.68  Sons are of equal value, and their equality is their oneness. The  whole power of God is in every part of Him, and nothing contradictory
Tx:11.2  and never without the risk of your own ego-involvement. The  whole process represents a clear-cut attempt to demonstrate your own
Tx:11.16  Whatever the sickness, there is but one remedy. You will be made  whole as you make whole, for to perceive in sickness the appeal for
Tx:11.16  there is but one remedy. You will be made whole as you make  whole, for to perceive in sickness the appeal for health is to
Tx:11.41  sold. There can be no disinherited parts of the Sonship, for God is  whole, and all His extensions are like Him.
Tx:11.51  and teachers. But it is not so yet and will not be so until the  whole learning situation as you have set it up is reversed.
Tx:11.53 The ego is trying to teach you how to gain the  whole world and lose your own Soul. The Holy Spirit teaches that you
Tx:11.61  gain the real world. For in this holy perception, you will be made  whole, and the Atonement will radiate from your acceptance of it for
Tx:12.13  your joyous response to the call of love if you heard it, and the  whole world you think you control would vanish. The Holy Spirit,
Tx:12.14 You have built your  whole insane belief system because you think you would be helpless in
Tx:12.34  Therefore he does not see that he made them and that they are not  whole. For these figures have no witnesses, being perceived in one
Tx:12.52  Son is only light. There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is  whole. Call all your brothers to witness to his wholeness, as I am
Tx:13.2  this: There is nothing partial about knowledge. Every aspect is  whole, and therefore no aspect is separate. You are an aspect of
Tx:13.5  to the Son of God is but the true perception of one aspect of the  whole. Though every aspect is the whole, you cannot know this until
Tx:13.5  perception of one aspect of the whole. Though every aspect is the  whole, you cannot know this until you see that every aspect is the
Tx:13.12 Release from guilt is the ego's  whole undoing. Make no one fearful, for his guilt is yours, and by
Tx:13.65  want either alone, for without both, you do not see yourselves as  whole and therefore happy. Yet you are whole only in your
Tx:13.65  you do not see yourselves as whole and therefore happy. Yet you are  whole only in your guiltlessness, and only in your guiltlessness can
Tx:13.73  separate or isolated in its effects. Every decision is made for the  whole Sonship, directed in and out and influencing a constellation
Tx:15.12  give Him this than for Him to use this tiny instant to offer you the  whole of Heaven. In exchange for this instant, He stands ready to
Tx:15.15  to the Holy Spirit to use. He needs but very little to restore God's  whole power to you. He Who transcends time for you understands what
Tx:15.16  your past learning, and the Holy Spirit will quickly offer you the  whole lesson of peace. What can take time, when all the obstacles to
Tx:15.35  it into glad awareness while you do not want it, for it holds the  whole release from littleness.
Tx:15.64  in the holy instant because the past is gone and with it goes the  whole basis for exclusion. Without its source, exclusion vanishes.
Tx:15.101 Fear not to recognize the  whole idea of sacrifice as solely of your making. And seek not safety
Tx:15.102  of any kind of anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the  whole idea of sacrifice loses all meaning. For He is Host to God. And
Tx:16.9 What you give through Him is for the  whole Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him His function, for He
Tx:16.10  itself? One attribute is no more difficult to understand than is the  whole. If miracles are at all, their attributes would have to be
Tx:16.11  then to be concerned about the truth of just a little part of the  whole. And this is but a way of avoiding or looking away from the
Tx:16.11  whole. And this is but a way of avoiding or looking away from the  whole to what you think you might be better able to understand. For
Tx:16.11  of miracles is this: You do not understand them, either in part or  whole. Yet you have done them. Therefore, your understanding cannot
Tx:16.12  about it, you cannot understand it. The recognition of the part as  whole and of the whole in every part is perfectly natural. For it is

Tx:16.37  love relationship is but a shabby substitute for what makes you  whole in truth, not in illusion. Your relationship with them is
Tx:16.40  and therefore wholly without fear. Whom God remembers must be  whole. And God has never forgotten what makes Him whole. In your
Tx:16.40  remembers must be whole. And God has never forgotten what makes Him  whole. In your completion lies the memory of His wholeness and His
Tx:16.52  the sadness and the loneliness. For these are only attributes of the  whole religion of the separation and of the total context in which it
Tx:16.57  meaning. Separation is only the decision not to know yourself. Its  whole thought system is a carefully contrived learning experience
Tx:16.61  body would disappear because its value would be lost. And so your  whole investment in seeing it would be withdrawn from it. You see the
Tx:16.62  special relationship which the ego seeks does not include even one  whole individual. For the ego wants but part of him and sees only
Tx:17.3  If you but realized what this must do to your appreciation of the  whole! What you reserve unto yourself, you take away from Him Who
Tx:17.30 The  whole defense system which the ego evolved to protect the separation
Tx:17.31  is not insane. And its “protection” is part of it, as insane as the  whole. The special relationship, which is its chief defense, must

Tx:17.35  aspects of this thought system, for these aspects enclose the  whole, complete in every aspect. Death lies in this glittering gift.
Tx:17.36  destruction. And your defense must now be undertaken to keep truth  whole. The power of Heaven, the love of God, the tears of Christ, and
Tx:17.37  the frame, the picture is seen as what it represents. For as the  whole thought system of the ego lies in its gifts, so the whole of

Tx:17.41  fades gently, and God rises to your remembrance, offering you the  whole of creation in exchange for your little picture, wholly without

Tx:17.47  in purpose could induce a complete change of mind about what the  whole relationship is for. As this change develops and is finally
Tx:17.62  is set, there faith must be. The Holy Spirit sees the situation as a  whole. The goal establishes the fact that everyone involved in it
Tx:17.62  through fragmentation and does not perceive the situation as a  whole. Therefore, it seeks to split off segments of the situation and
Tx:17.71  calls to everyone. There is no situation which does not involve your  whole relationship in every aspect and complete in every part. You
Tx:17.71  it and keep the situation holy. For it shares the purpose of your  whole relationship and derives its meaning from it.
Tx:17.74  of the meaning of every relationship and every situation, seen as a  whole. Faith has accepted every aspect of the situation, and
Tx:18.4  infinity to time, and life to death, was all you ever made. Your  whole world rests upon it. Everything you see reflects it, and every
Tx:18.11  the Sonship through your relationship, for in it lies the Sonship,  whole and beautiful, safe in your love. Heaven has entered quietly,
Tx:18.11  shined upon you, blessing your relationship with truth. God and His  whole creation have entered it together. How lovely and how holy is
Tx:18.12  would you not prefer to heal what has been broken and join in making  whole what has been ravaged by separation and disease?
Tx:18.30  darkness from the holy instant to which you brought it. We are made  whole in our desire to make whole. Let not time worry you, for all
Tx:18.30  to which you brought it. We are made whole in our desire to make  whole. Let not time worry you, for all the fear that you experience
Tx:18.40  is possible and remain unwilling to give place to One Who knows. The  whole belief in orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this.

Tx:18.65  and nothing else and would be avoided. It has no attraction now. Its  whole attraction is imaginary and therefore must be thought of in the

Tx:18.91 Yet in this cloud bank, it is easy to see a  whole world rising. A solid mountain range, a lake, a city, all rise
Tx:19.1  for only thus the situation is perceived as meaningful and as a  whole. And everyone must be involved in it, or else your faith is
Tx:19.2  a united purpose which makes this purpose real because you make it  whole. And this is healing. The body is healed because you came
Tx:19.5  always limit and attack; faith would remove all limitations and make  whole. [Faithlessness would destroy and separate; faith would unite
Tx:19.19  such is its purpose. Yet for all the wild insanity inherent in the  whole idea of sin, it is impossible. For the wages of sin is death,

Tx:19.40  can it abide within the Son of God? If it would spread across the  whole creation, it must begin with you and from you reach to everyone
Tx:19.42  by a little. And that little is a limit you would place upon the  whole. God's Will is One, not many. It has no opposition, for there
Tx:19.68 Your little part is but to give the Holy Spirit the  whole idea of sacrifice. And to accept the peace He gave instead,
Tx:19.72  guilt, serving its master whose attraction to guilt maintains the  whole illusion of its existence. This, then, is the attraction of

Tx:20.8  me that I may be forgiven and you may look upon the Son of God as  whole. But look you first upon the altar in your chosen home and see
Tx:20.33  part lies all of it, without which is no part complete, nor is the  whole completed without your part. The ark of peace is entered two by

Tx:15.20 You will doubt until you hear one witness whom you have  wholly released through the Holy Spirit. And then you will doubt no
Tx:15.20  here it is, all in this instant, complete, accomplished, and given  wholly.
Tx:15.33 If you are  wholly willing to leave salvation to the plan of God and unwilling to
Tx:15.42  honestly, “Would I want to have perfect communication, and am I  wholly willing to let everything that interferes with it go forever?”
Tx:15.57  our faith in God's Son because we recognize together that he is  wholly worthy of it, and in our appreciation of his worth, we cannot

Tx:15.65  given and fully returned. Being complete, it asks nothing. Being  wholly pure, everyone joined in it has everything. This is not the
Tx:15.86  and seeing it exactly as it is. For it is impossible to recognize as  wholly without gratification what you think you want. The body is the
Tx:15.91  only the attraction of God. Accepting it as undivided, you join Him  wholly in an instant. [For you would place no limits on your union
Tx:16.12  is the way God thinks, and what is natural to Him is natural to you.  Wholly natural perception would show you instantly that order of
Tx:16.16  God has called to you, and you have heard. Never again will you be  wholly willing not to listen.
Tx:16.19 Reality is safe and sure and  wholly kind to everyone and everything. There is no greater love than
Tx:16.23  regard yourself as one? For it is impossible to teach successfully  wholly without conviction, and it is equally impossible that
Tx:16.38 Across the bridge is your completion, for you will be  wholly in God, willing for nothing special but only to be wholly like

Tx:16.40  He loves you wholly without illusion, as you must love. For love is  wholly without illusion and therefore wholly without fear. Whom God
Tx:16.40  as you must love. For love is wholly without illusion and therefore  wholly without fear. Whom God remembers must be whole. And God has
Tx:16.65  of love in any special relationship here. For you are no longer  wholly insane, and you would recognize the guilt of self-betrayal for
Tx:16.67  yield to the illusion of the beauty and holiness of guilt. Only the  wholly insane could look on death and suffering, sickness and despair
Tx:17.9  of Atonement. All else is learned, but this is given, complete and  wholly perfect. No one but Him Who planned salvation could complete
Tx:17.38  It must be the pictures only that you compare, or the comparison is  wholly without meaning. Remember that it is the picture that is the

Tx:17.49  heard. Has He not been very explicit in His answer? You are not now  wholly insane. Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit
Tx:17.68  but do not use it. Faithlessness is the servant of illusion and  wholly faithful to its master. Use it and it will carry you straight
Tx:17.73  of Him Who walks with you in every situation. You are no longer  wholly insane, nor no longer alone. For loneliness in God must be a
Tx:18.48  possible that I can have it without him, or he without me. Yet it is  wholly possible for us to share it now. And so I choose this instant
Tx:18.90  to be a solid wall before the sun. Its impenetrable appearance is  wholly an illusion. It gives way softly to the mountain tops which
Tx:19.1 We said before that when a situation has been dedicated  wholly to truth, peace is inevitable. Its attainment is the criterion
Tx:19.1  said that peace without faith will never be attained, for what is  wholly dedicated to truth as its only goal is brought to truth by
Tx:19.5  all obstacles that seem to rise between them. Faithlessness is  wholly dedicated to illusions; faith wholly to truth. Partial
Tx:19.5  between them. Faithlessness is wholly dedicated to illusions; faith  wholly to truth. Partial dedication is impossible. Truth is the
Tx:19.12  Him. Faith is a gift you offer to the Son of God through Him, and  wholly acceptable to his Father as to him. And therefore offered you.
Tx:19.21  sin as error is always indefensible to the ego. The idea of sin is  wholly sacrosanct to its thought system and quite unapproachable
Tx:19.21  the most “holy” concept in the ego's system—lovely and powerful,  wholly true, and necessarily protected with every defense at its
Tx:19.42  in peace within you. Yet you are still unwilling to let it join you  wholly. You still oppose the Will of God, just by a little. And that
Tx:19.49  only to love.] Overlooking guilt completely, it sees no fear. Being  wholly without attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is attracted to
Tx:19.51 The fierce attraction which guilt holds for fear is  wholly absent from love's gentle perception. What love would look
Tx:19.69  for the eternal is forever kind, infinite in its patience, and  wholly loving. It will accept you wholly and give you peace. Yet it
Tx:19.69  infinite in its patience, and wholly loving. It will accept you  wholly and give you peace. Yet it can unite only with what already is
Tx:19.87 What danger can assail the  wholly innocent? What can attack the guiltless? What fear can enter
Tx:20.45  would rest upon contingency, but there is nothing else. And this is  wholly loving and forever. Yet has the Son of God invented an unholy
Tx:20.45  into fragments, and full of fear. The one created by his Father is  wholly self-encompassing and self-extending. The one he made is
Tx:20.45  is wholly self-encompassing and self-extending. The one he made is  wholly self-destructive and self-limiting.
Tx:20.73  in it, to sin and die, attack and murder and destroy themselves, are  wholly unreal? Could you have faith in what you see if you accepted
Tx:21.23  to look within and see what must be there plainly in sight and  wholly independent of inference and judgment. Undoing is not your
Tx:21.44  partial—still limited and incomplete, yet born within you. Not  wholly mad, you have been willing to look on much of your insanity
Tx:21.82  your mind again. When it is this you do not want, the rest are  wholly answered.
Tx:21.89  yet it is the final one that really asks if you are willing to be  wholly sane.
Tx:22.6  such as this send back its messages? Surely not you, whose sight is  wholly independent of the eyes which look upon the world. If this is
Tx:22.22  This course will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is  wholly true or wholly false and cannot be but partially believed. And
Tx:22.22  will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is wholly true or  wholly false and cannot be but partially believed. And you will
Tx:22.33  of everything, the wall that stands between you and the truth, is  wholly true. Yet how can sight which stops at nothingness as if it
Tx:22.47  to keep love out. God rests with you in quiet, undefended and  wholly undefending, for in this quiet state alone is strength and
Tx:23.47  is no attack, and no illusion in any form stalks Heaven. Heaven is  wholly true. No difference enters, and what is all the same cannot
Tx:23.54  present, and their future always the same, eternally complete, and  wholly shared. They know it is impossible their happiness could ever
Tx:24.26  and makes it sin. How can he then give his forgiveness  wholly, when he would not receive it for himself? For it is sure he
Tx:24.26  would not receive it for himself? For it is sure he would receive it  wholly the instant that he gave it so. And thus his secret guilt
Tx:25.21  from him nor from his Father. You need no forgiveness, for the  wholly pure have never sinned. Give then what He has given you that
Tx:25.35  And in the sunlight you will stand in quiet, in innocence, and  wholly unafraid. And from you will the rest you found extend, so that
Tx:25.38  feared instead of loved. Who would attack whatever he perceives as  wholly innocent? And who, because he wishes to attack, can fail to
Tx:25.44  seems easier to look upon; less painful to the eyes than what is  wholly clear and unambiguous. Yet this is not what eyes are for. And
Tx:25.55  insane and meaningless. Love is the basis for a world perceived as  wholly mad to sinners who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But
Tx:25.63  learn it is your will to be without it. You need not give it to Him  wholly willingly, for if you could, you'd have no need of Him. But
Tx:25.66  not of this. But justice does He know and knows it well. For He is  wholly fair to everyone.
Tx:25.70  who ask for punishment but have a Judge Who knows that they are  wholly innocent in truth. In justice, He is bound to set them free
Tx:25.83  deserves to suffer more and others less? And is this justice to the  wholly innocent? A miracle is justice. It is not a special gift to
Tx:26.19  just beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every thought made pure and  wholly simple. Here is sin denied and everything that is received
Tx:26.56  creation rise within you to replace the world you see with Heaven,  wholly perfect and complete. What is forgiveness but a willingness
Tx:27.1  attempt that would combine attack and innocence. Who can combine the  wholly incompatible and make a unity of what can never join? Walk you
Tx:27.20  unhealed. Yet you can show him that his suffering is purposeless and  wholly without cause. Show him your healing, and he will consent no
Tx:27.31  hate, or to endow with power or to see as weak. The picture has been  wholly canceled out because it symbolized a contradiction which
Tx:27.31  be but nothingness? The picture of your brother that you see is  wholly absent and has never been. Let then the empty space it
Tx:27.33  form, unpictured and unseen. Forgiveness is not yet a power known as  wholly free of limits. Yet it sets no limits you have chosen to
Tx:27.35 A Power  wholly limitless has come, not to destroy, but to receive Its own.
Tx:28.11  is quiet now, and what has come to take its place will not be  wholly unremembered afterwards.
Tx:28.52  or time. For it fills every place and every time and makes them  wholly indivisible.
Tx:28.61  There is no middle ground in any aspect of salvation. You accept it  wholly or accept it not. What is unseparated must be joined. And what
Tx:29.13  asked Him, and He came. You did not hear Him enter, for you did not  wholly welcome Him. And yet His gifts came with Him. He has laid them
Tx:30.32  they cannot decide alone to guarantee the joy they asked for will be  wholly shared. For they have understood the basic law that makes
Tx:31.54  your brother be. This shifts the concept of the self from what is  wholly passive and at least makes way for active choice and some
Tx:31.69  about yourself. But should one brother dawn upon your sight as  wholly worthy of forgiveness, then your concept of yourself is wholly
Tx:31.69  as wholly worthy of forgiveness, then your concept of yourself is  wholly changed. Your “evil” thoughts have been forgiven with his,
Tx:31.80  yourself. It sees no past in anyone at all. And thus it serves a  wholly open mind, unclouded by old concepts and prepared to look on
W1:8.2 The only  wholly true thought one can hold about the past is that it is not
W1:19.2  again emphasizing the fact that minds are joined. This is rarely a  wholly welcome idea at first, since it seems to carry with it an
W1:27.1  of today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea will be  wholly true a little nearer.
W1:29.4  particularly tempting in connection with today's idea because of its  wholly alien nature. Remember that any order you impose is equally
W1:44.5 Your mind is no longer  wholly untrained. You are quite ready to learn the form of exercise
W1:45.10  since then will change, but the foundation on which they rest is  wholly changeless. It is this foundation toward which the exercises
W1:49.2  that is listening to the Voice of God is calm, always at rest, and  wholly certain. It is really the only part there is. The other part
W1:66.3 Today we will try to go past this  wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the truth about your
W1:67.2  the longer practice period, we will think about your reality and its  wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature. We will begin by repeating
W1:72.4  for if His Son is only a body, so must He be as well. A creator  wholly unlike his creation is inconceivable.
W1:73.10  with the recognition that God's plan for salvation, and only His, is  wholly in accord with your will. It is not the purpose of an alien
W1:74.2  for today are directed towards finding it. The idea itself is  wholly true. Therefore it cannot give rise to illusions. Without
W1:83.7  my function. The oneness of my happiness and my function remains  wholly unaffected by this. Nothing, including this, can justify the
W1:101.3  before salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but  wholly just.
W1:103.6  the day, and quiet all your fears with this assurance, kind and  wholly true:
W1:108.1  all your conflicts and mistaken thoughts into one concept which is  wholly true? Even that one will disappear because the Thought behind
W1:108.5  will suffice for all correction or that to forgive one brother  wholly is enough to bring salvation to all minds. For these are but
W1:125.9  Will, at one with It, with no illusions interposed between the  wholly indivisible and true.
W1:129.4  what they say cannot be symbolized. Their knowledge is direct and  wholly shared and wholly one.
W1:129.4  be symbolized. Their knowledge is direct and wholly shared and  wholly one.
W1:131.7  the past or yet to happen? What He wills is now, without a past and  wholly futureless. It is as far removed from time as is a tiny candle
W1:134.6 It is sin's unreality that makes forgiveness natural and  wholly sane, a deep relief to those who offer it; a quiet blessing
W1:136.12  cannot be attacked. What is unalterable cannot change. And what is  wholly sinless cannot sin.
W1:136.17  the truth. I will accept the truth of what I am and let my mind be  wholly healed today.
W1:138.10  alternatives when only one is seen as valuable, the other as a  wholly worthless thing, a but imagined source of guilt and pain? Who
W1:151.11  seems to touch on you in any way from His one frame of reference,  wholly unified and sure. And you will see the love beyond the hate,
W1:158.1  that you are a mind, in Mind and purely mind, sinless forever,  wholly unafraid because you were created out of Love. Nor have you
W1:162.4  beyond themselves to change the mind of him who uses them. So  wholly is it changed that it is now the treasury in which God places
W1:166.9  than your own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real. Perhaps He has not  wholly been outwitted by your plan to keep His Son in deep oblivion
W1:170.4  you of peace, splitting your mind into two camps which seem  wholly irreconcilable. For love now has an “enemy,” an opposite; and
W1:181.9  there. And as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a  wholly sinless world. When seeing this is all we want to see, when
W1:186.11  to dispel the night, your truly given function stands out clear and  wholly unambiguous. There is no doubt of its validity. It comes from
W1:189.3  belies the other. Only one can be perceived at all. The other one is  wholly meaningless. A world in which forgiveness shines on everything
W1:189.7  from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with  wholly empty hands unto your God.
W1:190.1  death. Can such projections be attested to? Can they be anything but  wholly false?
W1:190.2  for a crime that could not be committed, for attack on what is  wholly unassailable. It is a nightmare of abandonment by an eternal
W1:191.9 And in that thought is everything you look on  wholly changed.
W1:192.3  Yet God created One Who has the power to translate into form the  wholly formless. What He makes are dreams, but of a kind so close to
W1:193.1  expanding in the joy of full creation, and eternally open and  wholly limitless in Him. This is His Will. And thus His Will provides
W1:196.10 There is an instant in which terror seems to grip your mind so  wholly that escape appears quite hopeless. When you realize once and
W2:224.1 My true Identity is so secure, so lofty, sinless, glorious and great,  wholly beneficent and free from guilt that Heaven looks to it to give
W2:234.1  disturb the peace of God the Father and the Son. This we accept as  wholly true today.
W2:242.2 And so we give today to You. We come with  wholly open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may think we
W2:268.2  is free of pain. Only reality is free of loss. Only reality is  wholly safe. And it is only this we seek today.
W2:286.2  us hope that we have found the way and traveled far along it to a  wholly certain goal. Today we will not doubt the end which God
W2:291.2  instead of from myself. I do not know the way to You. But You are  wholly certain. Father, lead Your Son along the quiet path that ends
W2:305.1  Christ's vision finds a peace so deep and quiet, undisturbable and  wholly changeless that the world contains no counterpart. Comparisons
W2:WILJ.2  For it sees the world as totally forgiven, without sin and  wholly purposeless. Without a cause and now without a function in
W2:328.2  contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your will that I be  wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share that will which
W2:354.1  the Christ establishes me as Your Son, beyond the reach of time and  wholly free of every law but Yours. I have no self except the Christ
M:4.7  best interests on behalf of truth. He has not realized as yet how  wholly impossible such a demand would be. He can learn this only as
M:4.15 Therefore God's teachers are  wholly gentle. They need the strength of gentleness, for it is in
M:4.22 True faithfulness, however, does not deviate. Being consistent, it is  wholly honest. Being unswerving, it is full of trust. Being based on
M:8.6  outside world. And of these two, but one is real. Just as reality is  wholly real, apart from size and shape and time and place—for
M:10.3  is no distortion in his perception, so that his judgment would be  wholly fair to everyone on whom it rests, now and in the future. Who
M:10.4  judgment on everyone and everything involved in any way. And He is  wholly fair to everyone, for there is no distortion in His perception.
M:12.1 The answer to this question is “one.” One  wholly perfect teacher whose learning is complete suffices. This One,
M:12.1  redeemed, becomes the Self Who is the Son of God. He who was always  wholly spirit now no longer sees Himself as a body or even as in a
M:15.3  judgment on yourself, teacher of God? Do you believe that this is  wholly true? No, not yet, not yet. But this is still your goal—why
M:18.2  teachers’ major lesson is to learn how to react to magic thoughts  wholly without anger. Only in this way can they proclaim the truth
M:19.4  one with Him. God's Judgment is His justice. Onto this—a judgment  wholly lacking in condemnation, an evaluation based entirely on love
M:20.6  God? No more than this—the simple understanding that His Will is  wholly without opposite. There is no thought that contradicts His
M:22.1  concept possible in this world, because it is the source of a  wholly unified perception. Partial Atonement is a meaningless idea,
M:28.3  curriculum ends. From here on no directions are needed. Vision is  wholly corrected and all mistakes undone. Attack is meaningless, and
M:29.4  has not forgotten it. His decisions bring benefit to all, being  wholly devoid of attack. And therefore incapable of arousing guilt.

Tx:8.83 How you wake is the sign of how you have used sleep. To  whom did you give it? Under which teacher did you place it? Whenever
Tx:8.113  speaks to me through you. If you would hear me, hear my brothers in  whom God's Voice speaks. The answer to all prayers lies in them. You
Tx:10.19  the invitation must come from you, for you have surely learned that  whom you invite as your guest will abide with you.
Tx:10.21  your minds, and let nothing that will obscure it enter. The Guest  whom God sent you will teach you how to do this if you but recognize
Tx:10.22 Would you be hostage to the ego or host to God? You will accept only  whom you invite. You are free to determine who shall be your guest
Tx:10.23  Conflict is the root of all evil, for being blind, it does not see  whom it attacks. Yet it always attacks the Son of God, and the Son of

Tx:10.65  the last thorn from his forehead. The love of God surrounds His Son,  whom the god of the crucifixion condemns. Teach not that I died in
Tx:10.66  redeemed from his own crucifixion, and you cannot assign to death  whom God has given eternal life. The dream of crucifixion still lies
Tx:10.82  for it can only free you. Nothing of God will enslave His Son,  whom He created free and whose freedom is protected by His Being.
Tx:10.84  And being deceived in yourself, you are deceived in your Father in  Whom no deceit is possible.
Tx:10.87  you, you are offended in yourself and are condemning God's Son,  whom God condemneth not. Let the Holy Spirit remove all offense of
Tx:10.87  use it for all He sends you, for He wills to heal the Son of God in  whom He is not deceived.
Tx:11.39  before you He will give you. For He will never deceive God's Son,  whom He loves with the love of the Father.
Tx:11.75 The ego is not a traitor to God to  Whom treachery is impossible, but it is a traitor to you who believe
Tx:12.40  is what we should offer Him. For every Son of God is given you to  whom God gave Himself. And it is God to Whom you must offer them to
Tx:12.40  Son of God is given you to whom God gave Himself. And it is God to  Whom you must offer them to recognize His gift to you.
Tx:12.53  remember Him as you call forth the witnesses to His creation. Those  whom you heal bear witness to your healing, for in their wholeness
Tx:13.16  that it is impossible to condemn the Son of God in part. Those  whom you see as guilty become the witnesses to guilt in you, and you
Tx:13.16  Project it not, for while you do, it cannot be undone. With everyone  whom you release from guilt, great is the joy in Heaven, where the
Tx:13.23  present. Yet you let them stand between you and your brothers, with  whom you find no real relationships at all. Can you expect to use
Tx:13.32  forever. I thank You, Father, for the purity of Your most holy Son,  whom You have created guiltless forever.
Tx:13.41  would have removed, because it breaks communication with you with  whom He would communicate. His voice will be heard.
Tx:13.54 The Holy Spirit needs a happy learner in  whom His mission can be happily accomplished. You who are steadfastly
Tx:13.78  thinking that salvation lay in you alone. Salvation is of Him to  Whom God gave it for you. He has not forgotten it. Forget Him not,
Tx:13.79 Seek not to appraise the worth of God's Son,  whom He created holy, for to do so is to evaluate his Father and
Tx:14.7  a wholly blessing Father, joy was created for you. Who can condemn  whom God has blessed? There is nothing in the Mind of God that does
Tx:14.11  but to restore what is the right of God's creation. From everyone  whom you accord release from guilt, you will inevitably learn your
Tx:14.12  from which no one is excluded. Within its holy circle is everyone  whom God created as His Son. Joy is its unifying attribute, with no
Tx:14.14  it. That is the symbol of the release from guilt by guiltlessness.  Whom you perceive as guilty, you would crucify. Yet you restore
Tx:14.21  He will interpret it to you with perfect clarity, for He knows with  Whom you are in perfect communication.
Tx:14.31 You cannot see alone. Sharing perception with Him  Whom God has given you teaches you how to recognize what you see. It
Tx:14.32  be brought to the judgment of the Holy Spirit and there undone.  Whom He would save for glory is saved for it. He has promised the
Tx:14.37  only what is worthy of the Father will be accepted by the Son, for  whom it was intended. To whom God gives Himself, He is given. Your
Tx:14.37  the Father will be accepted by the Son, for whom it was intended. To  whom God gives Himself, He is given. Your little gifts will vanish on
Tx:14.61  sent from Him, already learned for every Child of light by Him to  Whom God gave it. This lesson shines with God's glory, for in it lies
Tx:14.66  refusal to attempt to teach yourself what you do not know, the Guide  Whom God has given you will speak to you. He will take His rightful
Tx:15.20 You will doubt until you hear one witness  whom you have wholly released through the Holy Spirit. And then you
Tx:15.27  His magnitude and make His Son hostage to the ego cannot make little  whom God has joined with Him. Every decision you make is for Heaven
Tx:15.28  deceives you, but your magnitude is of Him Who dwells in you and in  Whom you dwell. Touch no one, then, with littleness, in the name of
Tx:15.29  our task together to restore the awareness of magnitude to the host  whom God appointed for Himself. It is beyond all your littleness to
Tx:15.89  for this? For the body is little and limited, and only those  whom you would see without the limits the ego would impose on them
Tx:16.17  God wills you better. Could you not look with greater charity on  whom God loves with perfect love?
Tx:16.26  two selves in conflict. What is beyond God? If you who hold Him and  whom He holds are the universe, all else must be outside, where
Tx:16.40  love is wholly without illusion and therefore wholly without fear.  Whom God remembers must be whole. And God has never forgotten what
Tx:17.6  you have held outside the truth to Him who knows the truth and in  Whom all is brought to truth. [Salvation from separation will be
Tx:17.17  of vengeance and what can be most readily associated with those on  whom vengeance is really sought are centered on and separated off as
Tx:17.17  unreality. The shadow figures enter more and more, and the one in  whom they seem to be decreases in importance.
Tx:17.19  the attempt at union becomes a way of excluding even the one with  whom the union was sought. For it was formed to get him out of it and
Tx:17.22  you to light your way and make it clear to you. God's Son is one.  Whom God has joined as one, the ego cannot break apart. The spark of
Tx:17.70 The power set in you in  whom the Holy Spirit's goal has been established is so far beyond
Tx:17.71  shines from the center of the situation and touches everyone to  whom the situation's purpose calls. It calls to everyone. There is no
Tx:18.12  Whom God has called should hear no substitutes. Their call is but an
Tx:18.21  purpose He has given you. And think not that He has forgotten you to  whom He gave the gift. He uses everyone who calls on Him as means for
Tx:18.48  this holy instant for myself that I may share it with my brother,  whom I love. It is not possible that I can have it without him, or he
Tx:18.58  be? You are surrounded only by Him. What limit can there be on you  whom He encompasses? Everyone has experienced what he would call a
Tx:18.83  dust still seems to cloud your eyes and keep you sightless. Yet He  Whom you welcomed has come to you and would welcome you. He has
Tx:19.12 Faith is the gift of God, through Him  Whom God has given you. Faithlessness looks upon the Son of God and
Tx:19.13  the body's eyes but in the sight of Him Who joined you and in  Whom you are united. Grace is not given to a body, but to a mind. And
Tx:19.16  to time. For what you think you do to the eternal you do to you.  Whom God created as His Son is slave to nothing, being lord of all
Tx:19.23  and changed His Mind completely. Mourn, then, the death of God,  Whom sin has killed! And this would be the ego's wish, which in its
Tx:19.57 Yet would I offer you my body, you  whom I love, knowing its littleness? Or would I teach that bodies
Tx:19.87  born in time but nourished in eternity. Behold this infant to  whom you gave a resting-place by your forgiveness of each other, and
Tx:19.103  His Friend. The “enemies” of Christ, the worshipers of sin, know not  Whom they attack. This is your brother, crucified by sin, and waiting
Tx:19.104  has been given you to give each other, and thus receive it.  Whom you forgive is free, and what you give you share. Forgive the
Tx:20.7  the Son of God for what he is. Forget not that it is your savior to  whom the gift is offered. Offer him thorns and you are crucified.
Tx:20.25  your hold and raise your eyes unto your strong companion, in  whom the meaning of your freedom lies. He seemed to be crucified
Tx:20.65  sin. And thus it leads you to reality. Your holy brother, sight of  whom is your release, is no illusion. Attempt to see him not in
Tx:21.11 This is the vision of the Son of God,  whom you know well. Here is the sight of him who knows his Father.
Tx:21.12  sing of. What is a miracle but this remembering? And who is there in  whom this memory lies not? The light in one awakens it in all. And
Tx:21.29  Forget not this—to bargain is to set a limit, and any brother with  whom you have a limited relationship you hate. You may attempt to
Tx:21.35  now toward holiness. For what you think is sin is limitation, and  whom you try to limit to the body you hate because you fear. In your
Tx:21.42  the ego is not alone. Its rule is tempered, and its unknown “enemy,”  Whom it cannot even see, it fears. Loudly the ego tells you not to
Tx:21.71  Because they do not know that they are one with him, they know not  whom they hate. They are indeed a sorry army, each one as likely to
Tx:21.77  or heal. For healing comes of power and attack of helplessness.  Whom you attack you cannot want to heal. And whom you would have
Tx:21.77  attack of helplessness. Whom you attack you cannot want to heal. And  whom you would have healed must be the one you chose to be protected
Tx:21.88  will ask because desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one  whom God Himself will never fail to answer. God has already given him
Tx:22.1 Take pity on yourselves, so long enslaved. Rejoice  whom God hath joined have come together and need no longer look on
Tx:22.5 Let reason take another step. If you attack  whom God would heal and hate the one He loves, then you and your
Tx:22.6  see through eyes which are not yours must make no sense to you. To  whom would vision such as this send back its messages? Surely not
Tx:22.20  guilt was given to the Holy Spirit as His purpose, and by One to  Whom nothing He wills can be impossible, the means for its attainment
Tx:22.47  with nothing in between. God holds your hands, and what can separate  whom He has joined as one with Him? It is your Father Whom you would
Tx:22.47  can separate whom He has joined as one with Him? It is your Father  Whom you would defend against. Yet it remains impossible to keep love
Tx:22.48  meaningless! How insignificant before the quiet strength of those  whom love has joined! This is your “enemy”—a frightened mouse that
Tx:22.48  by this mouse but by the Will of God. And can a mouse betray  whom God has joined?
Tx:22.58  for what the Holy Spirit does with the gifts you give each other, to  whom He offers them, and where and when is up to Him. He will bestow
Tx:23.10  sight into the giver of your peace. Your “enemy” was God Himself, to  Whom all conflict, triumph, and attack of any kind are all unknown.
Tx:23.25  in misery. For now He has become the “enemy” Who caused it and to  Whom appeal is useless. Nor can salvation lie within the Son, whose
Tx:23.30  brother's body, hidden there in malice and in hatred for the one to  whom the gift belongs. He would deprive you of the secret ingredient
Tx:24.5  justify attack? For who could hate someone whose Self is his and  whom He knows? Only the special could have enemies, for they are
Tx:24.12  can perceive. This does it seek, and this it looks upon. And always  whom it thus diminishes would be your savior, had you not chosen to
Tx:24.14  sons are many, never one, each one in exile from himself and Him of  Whom they are a part. Nor do they love the Oneness Which created them
Tx:24.39  you saved what you appointed to be your savior and crucified the one  whom God has given you instead. So are you bound with him, for you
Tx:24.45  His holiness shows you Himself in him whose hand you hold and  whom you lead to Him. And what you see is like yourself. For what but
Tx:24.54  your salvation and the world's, is set the shining memory of Him in  Whom your brother lives and you along with him. Let not your eyes be
Tx:24.57  along with you. And both shall see God's glory in His Son,  whom you mistook as flesh and bound to laws that have no power over
Tx:24.62  you have made to be your strength? What is this child of earth on  whom such love is lavished? What is this parody of God's creation
Tx:24.71  evil. Yet your specialness whispers, “Here is my own beloved son, in  whom I am well pleased.” Thus does the “son” become the means to
Tx:25.36  the Will of God and of His Son that Heaven be restored to him for  whom it was created as his only home? Nothing before and nothing
Tx:25.66  justice, being blind, is satisfied by being paid, it matters not by  whom. Can this be justice? God knows not of this. But justice does He
Tx:25.76  he is deprived. And so must he be envious and try to take away from  whom he judges. He is not impartial and cannot fairly see another's
Tx:26.3  the limits of a body is to impose these limits on each brother  whom you see. For you must see him as you see yourself.
Tx:26.15  be resolved. For there are those you want to suffer loss and no one  whom you wish to be preserved from sacrifice entirely. Consider once
Tx:26.45  he could remain content. Yet God has given him a better Friend in  Whom all power in earth and Heaven rests. The one illusion that you
Tx:26.46  no illusion friend, for if you do, it can but take the place of Him  whom God has called your Friend. And it is He who is your only Friend
Tx:26.46  He brings you gifts that are not of this world, and only He to  whom they have been given can make sure that you receive them. He
Tx:26.64  of its effects, and hate is answered in the name of love. To you to  whom it has been given to save the Son of God from crucifixion and
Tx:26.77 Think but how holy you must be from  whom the Voice for God calls lovingly unto your brother, that you may
Tx:26.84 Now is the temple of the Living God rebuilt as host again to Him by  Whom it was created. Where He dwells, His Son dwells with Him, never
Tx:27.15  cannot forgive their brothers and themselves as well. For no one in  whom true forgiveness reigns can suffer. He holds not the proof of
Tx:27.21 Who then fears healing? Only those to  whom their brother's sacrifice and pain are seen to represent their
Tx:27.42  answers questions truly asked. The questions of the world but ask of  whom is sacrifice demanded, asking not if sacrifice is meaningful at
Tx:27.42  sacrifice is meaningful at all. And so unless the answer tells “of  whom,” it will remain unrecognized, unheard, and thus the question is
Tx:27.53 Peace be to you to  whom is healing offered. And you will learn that peace is given you
Tx:27.76 He represents his Father,  Whom you see as offering both life and death to you. Brother, He
Tx:28.12 He to  Whom time is given offers thanks for every quiet instant given Him.
Tx:28.12  His memory allowed to offer all its treasures to the Son of God, for  whom they have been kept. How gladly does He offer them unto the one
Tx:28.12  they have been kept. How gladly does He offer them unto the one for  whom He has been given them! And His Creator shares His thanks
Tx:29.17  than all He really is. What, then, becomes of you, for it is you of  whom the sacrifice is asked? For He is told that part of Him belongs
Tx:29.23  God's Witness has set forth the gentle way of kindness to God's Son.  Whom you forgive is given power to forgive you your illusions. By
Tx:29.34  glory of His gift to you. Behold His Son, His perfect gift in  whom his Father shines forever and to whom is all creation given as
Tx:29.34  His Son, His perfect gift in whom his Father shines forever and to  whom is all creation given as his own. Because he has it is it given
Tx:29.59  only question which has many answers, each depending on the one of  whom the question has been asked. The world believes in idols. No one
Tx:30.36  then God Himself could not be free. For what is done to him  whom God so loves is done to God Himself. Think not He wills to bind
Tx:30.47  the Thought God holds of you has never left the mind of its Creator  Whom it knows, as its Creator knows that it is there.
Tx:31.9  His Son is innocent can He be Love. For God were fear indeed if he  whom He created innocent could be a slave to guilt. God's perfect Son
Tx:31.52  generated by your brother, who was there to make the other? And from  whom must something be kept hidden? If the world be evil, there is
Tx:31.77  a partial savior would be one who is but partly saved. The holy ones  whom God has given each of you to save are everyone you meet or look
Tx:31.82  seeing eyes and offers them forgiveness with his own. Can you to  whom God says, “Release My Son!” be tempted not to listen when you
Tx:31.82  My Son!” be tempted not to listen when you learn that it is you for  whom He asks release? And what but this is what this course would
Tx:31.87  image left to veil the truth. [He would remove all misery from you,  whom God created altars unto joy.] He would not leave you
W1:14.6  anything you are afraid might happen to you or to anyone about  whom you are concerned. In each case, name the “disaster” quite
W1:39.4  is the salvation of the world and your own. How could you to  whom your holiness belongs be excluded from it? God does not know
W1:46.3  you do so and spend a minute or two in searching your mind for those  whom you have not forgiven. It does not matter “how much” you have
W1:68.6  extended practice period by searching your mind for those against  whom you hold what you regard as major grievances. Some of these will
W1:68.6  love. It will quickly become apparent that there is no one against  whom you do not cherish grievances of some sort. This has left you
W1:71.11  do? Where would You have me go? What would You have me say, and to  whom?
W1:72.15  of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer will be true because of  Whom you ask. Whenever you feel your confidence wane and your hope of
W1:78.5  you think you love who angers you; someone you call a friend, but  whom you see as difficult at times or hard to please—demanding,
W1:78.6  his name has crossed your mind already. He will be the one of  whom we ask God's Son be shown to us. Through seeing him behind the
W1:99.7 Salvation is your function with the One to  Whom the plan was given. Now are you entrusted with this plan, along
W1:100.2  Your joy must be complete to let His plan be understood by those to  whom He sends you. They will see their function in your shining face
W1:108.12  this is what you asked. It might be helpful, too, to think of one to  whom to give your gifts. He represents the others, and through him
W1:121.9  today that they are one through practicing forgiving toward one  whom you think of as an enemy and one whom you consider as a friend.
W1:121.9  forgiving toward one whom you think of as an enemy and one  whom you consider as a friend. And as you learn to see them both as
W1:123.3  far transcends your meager gifts and petty judgments of the one  whom God established as His Son.
W1:123.7  yours to Him for 15 minutes twice today. And you will realize to  Whom you offer thanks, and Whom He thanks as you are thanking Him.
W1:123.7  twice today. And you will realize to Whom you offer thanks, and  Whom He thanks as you are thanking Him. This holy half an hour given
W1:126.3  merely to point out that you are better, on a higher plane than he  whom you forgive. He has not earned your charitable tolerance, which
W1:137.10  be healed, you see all those around you or who cross your mind or  whom you touch or those who seem to have no contact with you healed
W1:139.3  you can be alive instead? Who is the doubter? What is it he doubts?  Whom does he question? Who can answer him? He merely states that he
W1:151.8  only honor Him, rejoicing in His perfect, everlasting sinlessness.  Whom He has judged can only laugh at guilt, unwilling now to play
W1:154.2  and equally aware of where they can be best applied, for what, to  whom, and when, He chooses and accepts your part for you. He does not
W1:154.5  he brings. It is enough that he accept it, give it to the ones for  whom it is appointed, and fulfill his role in its delivery. If he
W1:154.11  us. He needs our hands to hold His messages and carry them to those  whom He appoints. He needs our feet to bring us where He wills, that
W1:158.7  has one law. It does not look upon a body and mistake it for the Son  whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the body, an idea beyond
W1:158.10  light in him, your sins have been forgiven by yourself. Each brother  whom you meet today provides another chance to let Christ's vision
W1:160.2  truth regards as senseless. Stranger yet, he does not recognize to  whom he comes and yet maintains his home belongs to him, while he is
W1:160.8  a stranger to your Father, nor is your Creator stranger made to you.  Whom God has joined remains forever one, at home in Him, no stranger
W1:161.9 This do the body's eyes behold in one  whom Heaven cherishes, the angels love, and God created perfect. This
W1:161.15 And He will answer  Whom you called upon, for He will hear the Voice of God in you and
W1:161.15  hear the Voice of God in you and answer in your own. Behold him now  whom you had seen as merely flesh and bone and recognize that Christ
W1:166.8  then? And what becomes of all the tragedy you sought to make for him  whom God intended only joy?
W1:167.11  we share with Him, with all creation, with their thoughts as well,  whom He created in a unity of life that cannot separate in death and
W1:168.5  not our own acceptance. We acknowledge our mistakes, but He to  Whom all error is unknown is yet the One Who answers our mistakes by
W1:190.2  of abandonment by an eternal Love which could not leave the Son  whom It created out of love.
W1:193.4 The One  Whom God created to replace the foolish thoughts which crept into the
W1:196.8  You do not now believe that fear is caused without. And God,  Whom you had thought to banish, can be welcomed back within the holy
W1:R6.11  Him the whole review we now begin, and let us also not forget to  Whom it has been given as we practice day by day, advancing toward
W1:211.1  and in true humility, I seek God's glory to behold it in the Son  whom He created as my Self. I am not a body. I am free. For I am
W1:217.1  but myself? And how but through salvation can I find the Self to  Whom my thanks are due? I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as
W2:I.9 We had a wish that God would fail to have the Son  whom He created for Himself. We wanted God to change Himself and be
W2:WF.5  given Him by God. Now must you share His function and forgive  whom He has saved, whose sinlessness He sees, and whom He honors as
W2:WF.5  and forgive whom He has saved, whose sinlessness He sees, and  whom He honors as the Son of God.
W2:239.1  thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. Can we see in those with  whom He shares His glory any trace of sin and guilt? And can it be
W2:WIW.4  of God. And all perception can be given a new purpose by the One  Whom God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His light and see the
W2:253.2 You are the Self  Whom You created Son, creating like Yourself and one with You. My
W2:256.1  yet remain asleep in heavy clouds of doubt about the holiness of him  whom God created sinless? Here we can but dream. But we can dream we
W2:256.1  Here we can but dream. But we can dream we have forgiven him in  whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we choose to dream
W2:261.2  home to You today. I choose to be as You created me and find the Son  whom You created as my Self.
W2:270.2  His sight, we offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son  whom God created whole, the holy Son whom God created one.

W2:WIC.5  perception or of time, or anything except the holy Self, the Christ  Whom God created as His Son.
W2:275.2  nothing. For Your Voice will tell me what to do and where to go, to  whom to speak, and what to say to him, what thoughts to think, what
W2:279.2  promises today and give my faith to them. My Father loves the Son  Whom He created as His own. Would You withhold the gifts You gave to
W2:280.1  Whom God created limitless is free. I can invent imprisonment for
W2:282.1  living in the joy of life. And this the choice to recognize the Self  Whom God created as the Son He loves and Who remains my one Reality.
W2:302.1  and we can see. We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son  whom You created. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining and
W2:WILJ.4  wipe away all tears, and gently waken from his dream of pain the Son  whom God acknowledges as His. Be not afraid of this. Salvation asks
W2:311.2  him, and we cannot judge. And so we let Your Love decide what he  whom You created as Your Son must be.
W2:320.1  before it all the strength and love in earth and Heaven. I am he to  whom all this is given. I am he in whom the power of my Father's Will
W2:320.1  in earth and Heaven. I am he to whom all this is given. I am he in  whom the power of my Father's Will abides.
W2:341.1 Father, Your Son is holy. I am he on  whom You smile in love and tenderness so deep and dear and still the
W2:344.1  be. Who can share a dream? And what can an illusion offer me? Yet he  whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on
W2:WAI.5  of God who speak for Him, and carrying His Word to everyone  whom He has sent to us, we learn that it is written on our hearts.
W2:E.2  still, for it cannot be possible to change the course of those  whom God has called to Him. Therefore, obey your will and follow Him
W2:E.2  whom God has called to Him. Therefore, obey your will and follow Him  Whom you accepted as your Voice, to speak of what you really want and
M:2.1  they are ready to fulfill theirs. Time waits on his choice but not  whom he will serve. When he is ready to learn, the opportunities to
M:3.1  both can look upon the Son of God as sinless. There is no one from  whom a teacher of God cannot learn, so there is no one whom he cannot
M:3.1  no one from whom a teacher of God cannot learn, so there is no one  whom he cannot teach. However, from a practical point of view, he
M:4.15  easy. To those who would do harm, it is impossible. To those to  whom harm has no meaning, it is merely natural. What choice but this
M:4.20 —nothing that did not serve to benefit the world as well as him to  whom it seemed to happen. Perhaps it was not understood at the time.
M:7.2  has thus become untenable, for he is offering hate to one to  whom he offered love. This is impossible. Having offered love, only
M:10.3  perception, so that his judgment would be wholly fair to everyone on  whom it rests, now and in the future. Who is in a position to do
M:13.2  Power, fame, money, physical pleasure—who is the hero to  whom all these things belong? Could they mean anything except to a

Tx:1.101 Believe this and you  will be free. Only God can establish this solution, and this faith is
Tx:1.103  it unless you discover what the “something” is? This course, then,  will concentrate on validity and let reliability fall naturally into
Tx:1.104  and depression if denied. All real pleasure comes from doing God's  Will. This is because not doing it is a denial of self. Denial of
Tx:1.107  himself. Man believes in what he creates. If he creates miracles, he  will be equally strong in his belief in them. The strength of his
Tx:1.107  equally strong in his belief in them. The strength of his conviction  will then sustain the belief of the miracle receiver. And fantasies
Tx:2.1  some definitions which I asked you to take from the dictionary which  will be helpful here. They are somewhat unusual since they are not

Tx:2.5  the Souls He created, and He also imbued them with the same loving  will to create. The Soul has not only been fully created but has also
Tx:2.6 If you consider carefully what this entails, the following  will become quite apparent:
Tx:2.12  mind. The latter required the endowment of man by God with free  will because all loving creation is freely given. Nothing in these
Tx:2.14  Spirit to him. In reality, this is his only choice, because his free  will was given him for his own joy in creating the perfect.
Tx:2.18  If you are afraid, you are valuing wrongly. Human understanding  will inevitably value wrongly and, by endowing all human thoughts
Tx:2.18  value wrongly and, by endowing all human thoughts with equal power,  will inevitably destroy peace. That is why the Bible speaks of “the
Tx:2.21  injustice if that is what his mind creates. You are afraid of God's  Will because you have used your own will, which He created in the
Tx:2.21  creates. You are afraid of God's Will because you have used your own  will, which He created in the likeness of His own, to miscreate. What

Tx:2.21  of one kind,” which was mentioned before, is “are of one mind or  will.” When the will of the Sonship and the Father are one, their
Tx:2.21  which was mentioned before, is “are of one mind or will.” When the  will of the Sonship and the Father are one, their perfect accord is
Tx:2.22 Denial of error is a powerful defense of truth. You  will note that we have been shifting the emphasis from the negative
Tx:2.22  denial of error frees the mind and reestablishes the freedom of the  will. When the will is really free, it cannot miscreate because it
Tx:2.22  frees the mind and reestablishes the freedom of the will. When the  will is really free, it cannot miscreate because it recognizes only
Tx:2.35  his own treasure. You do not have to tell him to do so because he  will do it automatically. The real questions still remain. What do
Tx:2.35  them into all your actions as the true criteria for behavior, I  will have little difficulty in clarifying the means. You have not
Tx:2.35  lot of time if you do not extend this step unduly. The correct focus  will shorten it immeasurably.
Tx:2.41  to time. Until the Atonement is finished, its various phases  will proceed in time, but the whole Atonement stands at time's end.
Tx:2.42  This is what is meant by “the meek shall inherit the earth.” They  will literally take it over because of their strength. A two-way
Tx:2.47  were created for this purpose. This appears to contradict free  will because of the inevitability of the final decision. If you
Tx:2.47  the final decision. If you review the idea carefully, however, you  will realize that this is not true. Everything is limited in some way
Tx:2.47  is limited in some way by the manner of its creation. Free  will can temporize and is capable of enormous procrastination. But it
Tx:2.48 The misuse of  will engenders a situation which in the extreme becomes altogether
Tx:2.49  to truth. Because of the real strength of Its vision, It pulls the  will into Its service and impels the mind to concur. This
Tx:2.49  impels the mind to concur. This reestablishes the true power of the  will and makes it increasingly unable to tolerate delay. The mind
Tx:2.51  of healing the separation. The Atonement is the guarantee that they  will ultimately succeed.
Tx:2.52 The emphasis  will now be on healing. The miracle is the means, the Atonement is
Tx:2.59  manner in which it is expressed. In fact, if it is truly used, it  will inevitably be expressed in whatever way is most helpful to the
Tx:2.63  however, that the miracle worker be in his right mind or he  will be unable to reestablish right-mindedness in someone else.
Tx:2.67  entails fear is because man is afraid of what his Spiritual eye  will see. We said before that the Spiritual eye cannot see error and
Tx:2.68  in what his physical sight tells him, all his corrective behavior  will be misdirected. The real vision is obscured, because man cannot
Tx:2.72  me from controlling it. The correction is therefore a matter of your  will, because its presence shows that you have raised the unimportant
Tx:2.72  a higher level than it warrants. You have thus brought it under your  will, where it does not belong. This means that you feel responsible
Tx:2.74  must change your mind, not your behavior, and this is a matter of  will.
Tx:2.75  error does. The correction is always the same. Before you  will to do anything, ask me if your will is in accord with mine. If
Tx:2.75  is always the same. Before you will to do anything, ask me if your  will is in accord with mine. If you are sure that it is, there will
Tx:2.75  your will is in accord with mine. If you are sure that it is, there  will be no fear.
Tx:2.76 Fear is always a sign of strain, which arises whenever the  will to do conflicts with what you do. This situation arises in two
Tx:2.77 First, you can  will to do conflicting things, either simultaneously or successively.
Tx:2.77  behavior, which is intolerable to yourself because the part of the  will that wants to do something else is outraged.
Tx:2.79 In both cases, the  will and the behavior are out of accord, resulting in a situation in
Tx:2.79  resulting in a situation in which you are doing what you do not  will. This arouses a sense of coercion, which usually produces rage.
Tx:2.80  there is fear, it is because you have not made up your mind. Your  will is split, and your behavior inevitably becomes erratic.
Tx:2.80  from the first to the second type of strain described above but  will not obliterate the fear. It is possible to reach a state in
Tx:2.80  the fear. It is possible to reach a state in which you bring your  will under my guidance without much conscious effort, but this
Tx:2.80  have not developed dependably as yet. God cannot ask more than you  will. The strength to do comes from your own undivided will to do.
Tx:2.80  more than you will. The strength to do comes from your own undivided  will to do. There is no strain in doing God's Will as soon as you
Tx:2.80  your own undivided will to do. There is no strain in doing God's  Will as soon as you recognize that it is also your own.
Tx:2.81  lesson here is quite simple but particularly apt to be overlooked. I  will therefore repeat it, urging you to listen. Only your mind can

Tx:2.88  It never sleeps. Every instant it is creating and always as you  will. Many of your ordinary expressions reflect this. For example,

Tx:2.89  to grow when you say it, because you do not really think that you  will.
Tx:2.94  of training. I cannot let them leave their minds unguarded, or they  will not be able to help me. Miracle working entails a full
Tx:2.94  of thought and real avoidance of miscreation. Otherwise, a miracle  will be necessary to set the mind itself straight, a circular process
Tx:2.103  As soon as a state of readiness occurs, there is usually some  will to accomplish, but this is by no means necessarily undivided.
Tx:2.103  The state does not imply more than a potential for a shift of  will.
Tx:2.104  case this be misunderstood to imply that an enormous amount of time  will be necessary between readiness and mastery, let me remind you
Tx:2.105  where the belief in magic in some form is virtually inevitable. His  will to create was given him by his own Creator, Who was expressing
Tx:2.105  create was given him by his own Creator, Who was expressing the same  will in His creation. Since creative ability rests in the mind,
Tx:2.105  in the mind, everything that man creates is necessarily a matter of  will. It also follows that whatever he creates is real in his own
Tx:2.106  separation occurred over many millions of years, the Last Judgment  will extend over a similarly long period and perhaps an even longer
Tx:2.108  generally thought of as a procedure undertaken by God. Actually it  will be undertaken by man with my help. It is a final healing rather
Tx:2.109  a process of right evaluation. It simply means that finally all men  will come to understand what is worthy and what is not. After this,
Tx:2.109  is made, however, the vacillations between free and imprisoned  will cannot but continue. The first step toward freedom must entail a
Tx:2.109  sense and reflects the true meaning of the Apocalypse. Man  will ultimately look upon his own creations and will to preserve only
Tx:2.109  the Apocalypse. Man will ultimately look upon his own creations and  will to preserve only what is good, just as God Himself looked upon
Tx:2.110 At this point, the  will can begin to look with love on its own creations because of
Tx:2.110  on its own creations because of their great worthiness. The mind  will inevitably disown its miscreations which, without the mind's
Tx:2.110  inevitably disown its miscreations which, without the mind's belief,  will no longer exist. The term “Last Judgment” is frightening not

Tx:3.20  it. Understanding the lesson of the Atonement, they are without the  will to attack, and therefore they see truly. This is what the Bible
Tx:3.27  what does not really exist. When you lack confidence in what someone  will do, you are attesting to your belief that he is not in his right
Tx:3.28  times that only what God creates, or what man creates with the same  will, has any real existence. This, then, is all the innocent can
Tx:3.29  are willing to validate what is true in everything you perceive, you  will make it true for you. Truth overcomes all error. This means that
Tx:3.33  mind is closed because it believes the future and present  will be the same. This establishes an unchanged state or stasis. It
Tx:3.33  usually an attempt to counteract an underlying fear that the future  will be worse than the present, and this fear inhibits the tendency

Tx:3.47  merely by establishing the fact that it is not there. The truth  will always overcome error in this sense. This is not an active

Tx:3.48  powerlessness of the body and the power of the mind. By uniting my  will with that of my Creator, I naturally remembered the Soul and its
Tx:3.49 I cannot unite your  will with God's for you, but I can erase all misperceptions from your

Tx:3.50  of the celestial speed-up. Strong wills can do this now, and you  will find rest for your Souls. God knows you only in peace, and this
Tx:3.51  after the separation. No one has been sure of anything since. You  will also remember, however, that I made it clear that the

Tx:3.63  judgment. When you recognize what you and your brothers are, you  will realize that judging them in any way is without meaning. In
Tx:3.66  to be the author of reality, which is totally impossible anyway, you  will insist on holding onto judgment. You will also use the term with
Tx:3.66  impossible anyway, you will insist on holding onto judgment. You  will also use the term with considerable fear, believing that

Tx:4.11  of guardian[s] of your thought system[s] and open [them] to me, I  will correct [them] very gently and lead you home. Every good teacher
Tx:4.11  hopes to give his students so much of his own thinking that they  will one day no longer need him. This is the one real goal of the

Tx:4.12  because to enlarge an ego is to increase separation anxiety. I  will teach with you and live with you if you will think with me, but

Tx:4.15  into forms of praise for itself in order to overcome its doubts. It  will be doubtful forever, or rather as long as you believe in it. You
Tx:4.16  have chosen to be afraid instead of meeting it. When you awaken you  will not be able to understand this because it is literally
Tx:4.17  afraid of the Soul's joy because, once you have experienced it, you  will withdraw all protection from the ego and become totally without
Tx:4.18  chosen to leave it empty by their own dispossession. Yet His home  will stand forever and is ready for you when you choose to enter it.
Tx:4.20 I  will substitute for your ego if you wish but never for your Soul. A

Tx:4.29  necessarily conflicted, because all attitudes are ego-based. This  will not last. Be patient awhile and remember that the outcome is as
Tx:4.30  the concepts involved. To the ego, to give anything implies that you  will do without it. When you associate giving with sacrifice, then,

Tx:4.52  to ask me to do so. I can help you only as our Father created us. I  will love you and honor you and maintain complete respect for what

Tx:4.53 I will never forsake you any more than God  will, but I must wait as long as you choose to forsake yourself.

Tx:4.65  in perfect light. To the ego's dark glass you need but say, “I  will not look there because I know these images are not true.” Then
Tx:4.66  first, and I have called you to join with me in the second. If you  will think over your lives, you will see how carefully the
Tx:4.66  join with me in the second. If you will think over your lives, you  will see how carefully the preparations were made. I am in charge of

Tx:4.68 You  will yet come together in my name, and your sanity will be restored.
Tx:4.68 You will yet come together in my name, and your sanity  will be restored. I raised the dead by knowing that life is an

Tx:4.74  many of the things you want to learn are chosen because their value  will not last. The ego thinks it is an advantage not to commit itself
Tx:4.78  What is the purpose? Whatever it is, you cannot doubt that it  will channelize your efforts automatically. When you make a decision
Tx:4.78  you have made a decision about your future effort, a decision which  will remain in effect unless you change the decision.
Tx:4.82  is a constant state. It is as true now as it ever was or ever  will be because it implies no change at all. It is not a continuum
Tx:4.84  is ego-directed. We cannot safely let it go at that, however, or you  will regard yourselves as necessarily conflicted as long as you are
Tx:4.85  life has continued without interruption and has been and always  will be totally unaffected by your attempts to dissociate. The ratio
Tx:4.86  it forever. You have very little trust in me as yet, but it  will increase as you turn more and more often to me instead of your
Tx:4.86  and more often to me instead of your egos for guidance. The results  will convince you increasingly that your choice in turning to me is
Tx:4.89 My trust in you is greater than yours in me at the moment, but it  will not always be that way. Your mission is very simple. You have
Tx:4.89  my trust and always approves my Atonement decisions because my  will is never out of accord with His. I have told you before that I
Tx:4.89  men. My chosen receiving and sending channels cannot fail because I  will lend them my strength as long as theirs is wanting.
Tx:4.90 I  will go with you to the Holy One, and through my perception, He can
Tx:4.90  little gap. Your gratitude to each other is the only gift I want. I  will bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your brother is to
Tx:4.91  the Sonship because they are disengaging themselves from me. God  will come to you only as you will give Him to your brothers. Learn
Tx:4.91  are disengaging themselves from me. God will come to you only as you  will give Him to your brothers. Learn first of them, and you will be
Tx:4.91  as you will give Him to your brothers. Learn first of them, and you  will be ready to hear God as you hear them. That is because the

Tx:4.95  communication is controlled by its need to protect itself, and it  will disrupt communication when it experiences threat. While this is
Tx:4.95  which must be disrupted, the response of breaking communication  will nevertheless be to a specific person or persons.
Tx:4.96  kind of generalization which is really not abstract at all. It  will respond in certain specific ways to all stimuli which it
Tx:4.97 This communication is the  Will of God. Creation and communication are synonymous. God created
Tx:4.97  it forever as a channel for the reception of His Mind and  Will. Since only beings of a like order can truly communicate, His
Tx:4.102  can hurt them. Their helpfulness is their praise of God, and He  will return their praise of Him because they are like Him, and they
Tx:4.102  whom I direct until we are all united in the joy of the Kingdom. I  will direct you to wherever you can be truly helpful and to whoever
Tx:4.104  natural impulse to help, placing you under the strain of divided  will. You may then be tempted to withdraw to allow your ego to
Tx:4.106  have to worry about what to say or what to do because He Who sent me  will direct me. I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He
Tx:4.106  content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me. I  will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.
Tx:5.6 If you think about it, you  will see that, while this kind of thinking is totally alien to having
Tx:5.10  apart from the Father and from the Son. I myself said, “If I go I  will send you another comforter, and He will abide with you.” The
Tx:5.10  I myself said, “If I go I will send you another comforter, and He  will abide with you.” The Holy Spirit is a difficult concept to grasp
Tx:5.17  it to what the Children of God were before healing was needed and  will be when they have been healed. This alteration of the time
Tx:5.17  The Holy Spirit is the motivation for miracle-mindedness, the  will to heal the separation by letting it go. This will is in you,
Tx:5.17  the will to heal the separation by letting it go. This  will is in you, because God placed it in your mind, and although you
Tx:5.18 God Himself keeps this  will alive by transmitting it from His Mind to yours as long as there
Tx:5.18  and partly yours. The miracle itself is just this fusion or union of  will between Father and Son. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of joy. He
Tx:5.19  His is the Voice that calls you back to where you were before and  will be again.
Tx:5.20  the Atonement is complete and the whole Sonship is healed, there  will be no call to return, but what God creates is eternal. The Holy
Tx:5.20  no call to return, but what God creates is eternal. The Holy Spirit  will remain with the Sons of God to bless their creations and keep
Tx:5.21  Before the separation you did not need guidance. You knew as you  will know again, but as you do not know now. God does not guide
Tx:5.22  was broken because you had made another voice through another  will. The Holy Spirit calls you both to remember and to forget. You

Tx:5.23  Him. The voice they put in their minds was not the voice of His  Will for which the Holy Spirit speaks. The call to return is stronger
Tx:5.26 The Holy Spirit is the way in which God's  Will can be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Both Heaven and earth
Tx:5.26  Heaven and earth are in you, because the call of both is in your  will and therefore in your mind. The Voice for God comes from your

Tx:5.61  Whenever you respond to your ego, you will experience guilt and you  will fear punishment. The ego is quite literally a fearful thought.
Tx:5.63  is a sure sign that your thinking is unnatural. Perverted thinking  will always be attended with guilt because it is the belief in sin.

Tx:6.74  more so than is any other product of thought. The fundamental change  will still occur with the change of mind in the thinker. Meanwhile,
Tx:6.75  peace of mind is impossible. If you teach both, which you  will surely do as long as you accept both, you are teaching conflict

Tx:7.32  already is. Like inspiration it can be misunderstood as magic and  will be whenever it is undertaken as separate from what already is
Tx:7.34  because every part of creation is of one order. This is God's  Will and yours. The laws of God establish this, and the Holy Spirit
Tx:7.37 To oppose the pull or the  Will of God is not an ability but a real delusion. The ego believes
Tx:7.40  act in accordance with what you do not believe. To do this, however,  will weaken you as teachers and learners because, as has been
Tx:7.40  emphasized, you teach what you do believe. An inconsistent lesson  will be poorly taught and poorly learned. If you teach both sickness

Tx:7.49  The other shows you only truth, which you will love, because you  will understand it. Understanding is appreciation, because what you
Tx:7.52  share is shared by all our brothers, and as we see them truly, they  will be healed. Let your mind shine with mine upon their minds and by
Tx:7.53 This light  will shine back upon you and on the whole Sonship, because this is
Tx:7.53  on the whole Sonship, because this is your proper gift to God. He  will accept it and give it to the Sonship, because it is acceptable
Tx:7.54  impossible, however, for you to see something in part of it that you  will not attribute to all of it. That is why attack is never discrete
Tx:7.54  whether the ego or the Holy Spirit begets or inspires them, but they  will return to the mind of the thinker, and they will affect his
Tx:7.54  them, but they will return to the mind of the thinker, and they  will affect his total perception. That includes his perception of

Tx:7.55  is not of your making. Your ability to direct your thinking as you  will is part of its power. If you do not believe you can do this, you

Tx:7.59  make illusions, but it does follow that if it makes illusions it  will believe in them, because that is how it made them.
Tx:7.61 If you  will keep in mind what the Holy Spirit offers you, you cannot be
Tx:7.65  of God. Any belief that you accept which is apart from this  will obscure God's Voice in you and will therefore obscure God to
Tx:7.65  accept which is apart from this will obscure God's Voice in you and  will therefore obscure God to you. Unless you perceive His creation
Tx:7.67  judged sanity as wholly desirable. If you want something else, you  will make something else, but because it is something else, it will
Tx:7.67  you will make something else, but because it is something else, it  will attack your thought system and divide your allegiance. You
Tx:7.68  God and are therefore depriving yourselves of joy. This is not God's  Will but yours. If your will is out of accord with God's, you are
Tx:7.68  yourselves of joy. This is not God's Will but yours. If your  will is out of accord with God's, you are willing without meaning.
Tx:7.68  with God's, you are willing without meaning. Yet because God's  Will is unchangeable, no real conflict of will is possible. This is
Tx:7.68  meaning. Yet because God's Will is unchangeable, no real conflict of  will is possible. This is the Holy Spirit's perfectly consistent
Tx:7.69 Creation, not separation, is your  will because it is God's, and nothing that opposes this means
Tx:7.70 Whenever you deny a blessing to a brother, you  will feel deprived. This is because denial is as total as love. It is
Tx:7.71  positively as it is of being used destructively. Used negatively it  will be destructive because it will be used for attack, but in the
Tx:7.71  destructively. Used negatively it will be destructive because it  will be used for attack, but in the service of the Holy Spirit, [the

Tx:7.80  because it is everywhere. See His abundance in everyone, and you  will know that you are in Him with them. They are part of you, as you
Tx:7.81  real, wholly perfect, and wholly desirable. Wanting this only, you  will have this only, and giving this only, you will be only this. The
Tx:7.81  this only, you will have this only, and giving this only, you  will be only this. The gifts you offer to the ego are always

Tx:7.83  is up to you, but it is not up to you to decide whether or not you  will utilize projection. Every mind must project, because that is how
Tx:7.84  it does not want you to find conflict so intolerable that you  will insist on giving it up. Therefore, the ego tries to persuade you
Tx:7.86  for their own safety. They are afraid that their projections  will return and hurt them. They do believe they have blotted their
Tx:7.88  the responsibility for your belief in it onto anyone else, or you  will preserve the belief. When you are willing to accept sole
Tx:7.88  to accept sole responsibility for the ego's existence yourself, you  will have laid aside all anger and all attack, because they come from
Tx:7.88  to the Holy Spirit to be undone completely so that all their effects  will vanish from your minds and from the Sonship as a whole.
Tx:7.89 The Holy Spirit  will teach you to perceive beyond belief, because truth is beyond

Tx:7.100  truth has nothing to do with your willingness at all. Truth is God's  Will. Share His Will, and you share what He knows. Deny His Will as

Tx:7.102  fearful and very desirable. Yet God wills. He does not wish. Your  will is as powerful as His because it is His. The ego's wishes do not

Tx:7.104  you, and therefore your trustworthiness is beyond question. It  will always remain beyond question, however much you may question it.
Tx:7.105 We said before that you are the  Will of God. His Will is not an idle wish, and your identification
Tx:7.105 We said before that you are the Will of God. His  Will is not an idle wish, and your identification with His Will is
Tx:7.105  God. His Will is not an idle wish, and your identification with His  Will is not optional, since it is what you are. Sharing His Will with
Tx:7.105  with His Will is not optional, since it is what you are. Sharing His  Will with me is not really open to choice, though it may seem to be.
Tx:7.105  Everything has been given you by God's decision. That is His  Will, and you can not undo it. Even the relinquishment of your false
Tx:7.105  is not accomplished by your wish. It was accomplished for you by the  Will of God, Who has not left you comfortless. His Voice will teach
Tx:7.105  you by the Will of God, Who has not left you comfortless. His Voice  will teach you how to distinguish between pain and joy and will lead
Tx:7.105  His Voice will teach you how to distinguish between pain and joy and  will lead you out of the confusion which you have made. There is no

Tx:7.105  is no confusion in the mind of a Son of God whose will must be the  Will of the Father, because the Father's Will is His Son.

Tx:7.106 Miracles are in accord with the Will of God Whose  Will you do not know, because you are confused about what you will.
Tx:7.106  Whose Will you do not know, because you are confused about what you  will. This means that you are confused about what you are. If you are
Tx:7.106  means that you are confused about what you are. If you are God's  Will and do not accept His Will[, you can only be not accepting what
Tx:7.107 The Holy Spirit  will always guide you truly, because your joy is His. This is His
Tx:7.107  will always guide you truly, because your joy is His. This is His  Will for everyone, because He speaks for the Kingdom of God which is
Tx:7.107  to yourselves that there is no order of difficulty in miracles, you  will convince yourselves that in your natural state there is no
Tx:7.108  he knows he is with God. That is the only environment in which he  will not experience strain, because that is where he belongs. It is
Tx:7.113  He created to know what they have shared. Without your Father, you  will not know your fatherhood. The Kingdom of God includes all His
Tx:7.113  Sons as they are like the Father. Know then the Sons of God, and you  will know all creation.
Tx:8.2 Knowledge  will be restored when you meet its conditions. This is not a bargain
Tx:8.2  It is merely the result of your misuse of His laws on behalf of a  will that is not His. Knowledge is His Will. If you are opposing His
Tx:8.2  of His laws on behalf of a will that is not His. Knowledge is His  Will. If you are opposing His Will, how can you have knowledge? I
Tx:8.2  will that is not His. Knowledge is His Will. If you are opposing His  Will, how can you have knowledge? I have told you what knowledge
Tx:8.3  to you. If you do not want them on the basis of loss of peace, they  will be removed from your mind for you. Every response to the ego is
Tx:8.7  reality is unaffected by both, but if you listen to both, your mind  will be split about what your reality is.
Tx:8.9  what you have. When you are taught against your nature, however, you  will lose by your learning because your learning will imprison you.
Tx:8.9  however, you will lose by your learning because your learning  will imprison you. Your will is in your nature and therefore cannot
Tx:8.9  lose by your learning because your learning will imprison you. Your  will is in your nature and therefore cannot go against it.
Tx:8.10 The ego cannot teach you anything as long as your  will is free, because you will not listen to it. It is not your will
Tx:8.10  cannot teach you anything as long as your will is free, because you  will not listen to it. It is not your will to be imprisoned, because
Tx:8.10  your will is free, because you will not listen to it. It is not your  will to be imprisoned, because your will is free. That is why the ego
Tx:8.10  not listen to it. It is not your will to be imprisoned, because your  will is free. That is why the ego is the denial of free will. It is
Tx:8.10  because your will is free. That is why the ego is the denial of free  will. It is never God who coerces you because He shares His Will with
Tx:8.10  of free will. It is never God who coerces you because He shares His  Will with you. His Voice teaches only His Will, but that is not the
Tx:8.10  you because He shares His Will with you. His Voice teaches only His  Will, but that is not the Holy Spirit's lesson because that is what
Tx:8.10  lesson because that is what you are. The lesson is that your  will and God's cannot be out of accord, because they are one. This is
Tx:8.11 The ego wants to teach you that you want to oppose God's  Will. This unnatural lesson cannot be learned, but the attempt to
Tx:8.11  it is a violation of your own freedom and makes you afraid of your  will because it is free. The Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of
Tx:8.11  because it is free. The Holy Spirit opposes any imprisoning of the  will of a Son of God, knowing that the will of the Son is the
Tx:8.11  any imprisoning of the will of a Son of God, knowing that the  will of the Son is the Father's. The Holy Spirit leads you steadily
Tx:8.13  Yet He cannot conceive of God without you, because it is not God's  Will to be without you. When you have learned that your will is
Tx:8.13  is not God's Will to be without you. When you have learned that your  will is God's, you could no more will to be without Him than He could
Tx:8.13  When you have learned that your will is God's, you could no more  will to be without Him than He could will to be without you. This is
Tx:8.13  is God's, you could no more will to be without Him than He could  will to be without you. This is freedom and this is joy. Deny
Tx:8.14 The  Will of God is without limit, and all power and glory lie within it.
Tx:8.14  By creating all things, it made them part of itself. You are the  Will of God, because this is how you were created. Because your

Tx:8.16  understanding and enlightenment, you will learn it, because your  will to learn it is your decision to listen to the Teacher who knows
Tx:8.16  because there is no limit on your minds. There is no limit on His  Will to teach, because He was created [by unlimited Will in order] to
Tx:8.16  no limit on His Will to teach, because He was created [by unlimited  Will in order] to teach. Knowing His function perfectly, He wills to
Tx:8.17 To fulfill the  Will of God perfectly is the only joy and peace that can be fully
Tx:8.17  there is no other experience. Yet the wish for other experience  will block its accomplishment, because God's Will cannot be forced

Tx:8.17  Him and why God gave Him to you. Only His teaching will release your  will to God's, uniting it with His power and glory and establishing
Tx:8.18 The  will of Father and of the Son are one together by their extension.
Tx:8.18  their oneness, holding their unity together by extending their joint  will. This is perfect creation by the perfectly created in union with

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

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

Tx:8.29  to receive it? For unless you do, you will not receive it. If you  will to have it of me, you must give it. Rehabilitation does not come
Tx:8.29  it from within. The guidance must [become] what you want, or it  will be meaningless to you. That is why rehabilitation is a
Tx:8.30 I can tell you what to do, but this  will not help you unless you collaborate by believing that I know
Tx:8.30  you collaborate by believing that I know what to do. Only then  will your mind choose to follow me. Without your will, you cannot be
Tx:8.30  to do. Only then will your mind choose to follow me. Without your  will, you cannot be rehabilitated. Motivation to be healed is the
Tx:8.30  Without this you are deciding against healing, and your veto of my  will for you makes healing impossible. If healing is our joint will,
Tx:8.30  of my will for you makes healing impossible. If healing is our joint  will, unless our wills are joined you cannot be healed. This is
Tx:8.31 The  will to unite must be unequivocal, or the will itself is divided or

Tx:8.31  God Himself would not go against it. I cannot will what God does not  will. I can offer you my will to make yours invincible by this
Tx:8.31  against it. I cannot will what God does not will. I can offer you my  will to make yours invincible by this sharing, but I cannot oppose
Tx:8.31  oppose yours without competing with it and thereby violating God's  Will for you.
Tx:8.32 Nothing God created can oppose your  will, as nothing God created can oppose His. God gave your will its
Tx:8.32  your will, as nothing God created can oppose His. God gave your  will its power, which I can only acknowledge in honor of His. If you
Tx:8.32  I can only acknowledge in honor of His. If you want to be like me, I  will help you, knowing that we are alike. If you want to be
Tx:8.32  help you, knowing that we are alike. If you want to be different, I  will wait until you change your mind. I can teach you, but only you
Tx:8.32  of all God's Sons cannot be recognized through the dominion of one  will over another. God's Sons are equal in will, all being the Will

Tx:8.33 When your  will is not mine, it is not our Father's. This means that you have
Tx:8.33  without me, because by denying the Father you deny yourself. I  will always remember you, and in my remembrance of you lies your
Tx:8.33  you whom He created. This is our gift of gratitude to Him, which He  will share with all His creations, to whom He gives equally whatever
Tx:8.33  it is acceptable to Him, it is the gift of freedom, which is His  Will for all His Sons. By offering freedom, you will be free.

Tx:8.43  If it were, you would have destroyed yourselves. Yet God did not  will the destruction of His creations, having created them for
Tx:8.43  destruction of His creations, having created them for eternity. His  Will has saved you, not from yourselves, but from your illusions of

Tx:8.56  to the Holy Spirit to use on behalf of union of the Sonship, you  will not see anything physical except as what it is. Use it for
Tx:8.56  anything physical except as what it is. Use it for truth, and you  will see it truly. Misuse it, and you will misunderstand it, because
Tx:8.56  is. Use it for truth, and you will see it truly. Misuse it, and you  will misunderstand it, because you have already done so by misusing
Tx:8.56  misusing it. Interpret anything apart from the Holy Spirit, and you  will mistrust it. This will lead you to hatred and attack and loss of

Tx:8.78  to tolerate anything except truth. When you lay the ego aside, it  will be gone. The Holy Spirit's Voice is as loud as your willingness

Tx:8.85 The ego, which always weakens the  will, wants to separate the body from the mind. This is an attempt to

Tx:8.89  but you can not know it. Yet it is still His Will for you, and His  Will must stand forever and in all things.
Tx:8.90 Fear of the  Will of God is one of the strangest beliefs that the human mind has
Tx:8.90  since reality can only uphold truth. The very fact that the  Will of God, which is what you are, is perceived as fearful to you
Tx:8.90  that you are afraid of what you are. It is not, then, the  Will of God of which you are afraid, but yours. Your will is not the
Tx:8.90  not, then, the Will of God of which you are afraid, but yours. Your  will is not the ego's, and that is why the ego is against you. What
Tx:8.91  decided that what you are is fearful, then it must follow that you  will not learn this course. Yet you might remember that the reason
Tx:8.92  remind you of what you want. He is not attempting to force an alien  will upon you. He is merely making every possible effort, within the
Tx:8.92  within the limits you impose on Him, to re-establish your own  will in your consciousness.
Tx:8.93 You have imprisoned your  will in your unconscious, where it remains available but cannot help
Tx:8.93  He has the power to look into what you have hidden and perceive the  Will of God there. His perception of this will can make it real to
Tx:8.93  hidden and perceive the Will of God there. His perception of this  will can make it real to you because He is in your mind and therefore
Tx:8.94  possibly have. We have emphasized many times that the Holy Spirit  will never call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if you ask the
Tx:8.94  yourselves, the Holy Spirit must remind you that this is not God's  Will because it is not yours. There is no difference between your
Tx:8.94  Will because it is not yours. There is no difference between your  will and God's. If you did not have split minds, you would recognize
Tx:8.94  through creation because that, and only that, is your joint  will.
Tx:8.95  ask for what you do not want? Yet as long as you are afraid of your  will, this is precisely what you will ask for. You may insist that
Tx:8.95  as long as you are afraid of your will, this is precisely what you  will ask for. You may insist that the Holy Spirit does not answer

Tx:8.97 No mind can believe that its  will is stronger than God's. If, then, a mind believes that its will
Tx:8.97  its will is stronger than God's. If, then, a mind believes that its  will is different from His, it can only decide either that there is
Tx:8.97  His, it can only decide either that there is no God or that God's  Will is fearful. The former accounts for the atheist and the latter
Tx:8.97  demands sacrifices of any kind. Either basic type of insane decision  will induce panic, because the atheist believes he is alone, and the
Tx:8.98 The atheist maintains that God has left him, but he does not care. He  will, however, become very fearful and hence very angry if anyone

Tx:8.116  relationship of giving and receiving will be recognized. The price  will then be set high because of the value of the return. The price

Tx:9.11  cannot look on your abilities through the eyes of the ego, or you  will judge them as it does. All their harmfulness lies in its
Tx:9.12  of the right teacher. The ego's plan, of course, makes no sense and  will not work. By following it, you will merely place yourself in an

Tx:9.28  can only let Him fulfill His function. He needs no help for this. He  will tell you exactly what to do to help anyone He sends to you for
Tx:9.28  you exactly what to do to help anyone He sends to you for help and  will speak to him through you if you do not interfere. Remember that
Tx:9.28  that you are choosing a guide for helping, and the wrong choice  will not help. But remember also that the right one will. Trust Him,

Tx:9.29  that it works. Its results are more convincing than its words. They  will convince you that the words are true. By following the right

Tx:9.32  because you have limited your receiving. The will to receive is the  will to accept.
Tx:9.33 If your brothers are part of you,  will you accept them? Only they can teach you what you are, and your
Tx:9.34  from you. Therefore you can create as He did, and your dissociation  will not alter this. Neither God's light nor yours is dimmed because
Tx:9.34  His Son, for knowledge is shared with God. When you awake in Him you  will know your magnitude by accepting His limitlessness as yours, but
Tx:9.34  magnitude by accepting His limitlessness as yours, but meanwhile you  will judge it as you judge your brothers' and will accept it as you
Tx:9.34  but meanwhile you will judge it as you judge your brothers' and  will accept it as you accept theirs.
Tx:9.35  Holy Spirit teaches you to awaken others. As you see them waken, you  will learn what waking means, and because you have willed to wake
Tx:9.35  their gratitude and their appreciation of what you have given them  will teach you its value. They will become the witnesses to your
Tx:9.35  of what you have given them will teach you its value. They  will become the witnesses to your reality, as you were created
Tx:9.35  Yet when the Sonship comes together and accepts its oneness, it  will be known by its creations, who witness to its reality as the Son
Tx:9.37  your brother in this world and accept nothing else, for in him you  will find your creations, because he created them with you. You will
Tx:9.37  you will find your creations, because he created them with you. You  will never know that you are co-creator with God until you learn that
Tx:9.38 God's  Will is your salvation. Would He not have given you the means to find
Tx:9.38  chance to save yourself. Do not lose these chances, not because they  will not return, but because delay of joy is needless. God wills you
Tx:9.38  you perfect happiness now. Is it possible that this is not also your  will? And is it possible that this is not also the will of your
Tx:9.38  is not also your will? And is it possible that this is not also the  will of your brothers?
Tx:9.39 Consider, then, that in this joint  will you are all united, and in this only. There will be disagreement
Tx:9.39  that in this joint will you are all united, and in this only. There  will be disagreement on anything else, but not on this. This, then,
Tx:9.42 The ego  will begin to attack your motives as soon as they become clearly out
Tx:9.42  clearly out of accord with its perception of you. This is when it  will shift abruptly from suspiciousness to viciousness, since its
Tx:9.42  of what you are? If you are willing to see yourself as unloving, you  will not be happy. You are condemning yourself and must therefore
Tx:9.47 Remember this when the ego speaks, and you  will not hear it. The truth about you is so lofty that nothing
Tx:9.47  for you do not want anything else. Return your part of Him, and He  will give you all of Himself in exchange for your return of what
Tx:9.48  of the ego is its alternative to the grandeur of God. Which  will you choose?
Tx:9.49  as you despair of yourself. It shifts to viciousness whenever you  will not tolerate self-abasement and seek relief. Then it offers you
Tx:9.50  withdraw to attack later. If you accept its offer of grandiosity, it  will attack immediately. If you do not, it will wait.
Tx:9.50  offer of grandiosity, it will attack immediately. If you do not, it  will wait.
Tx:9.51  real, it is compellingly convincing. Yet the conviction of reality  will not remain with you unless you do not allow the ego to attack
Tx:9.51  with you unless you do not allow the ego to attack it. The ego  will make every effort to recover and mobilize its energies against
Tx:9.51  effort to recover and mobilize its energies against your release. It  will tell you that you are insane and argue that grandeur cannot be a
Tx:9.52  be anywhere except in the Mind of God. When you forget this, you  will despair, and you will attack.
Tx:9.52  in the Mind of God. When you forget this, you will despair, and you  will attack.
Tx:9.54  Yet it must be insane because it is not true. Your grandeur  will never deceive you, but your illusions always will. Illusions are
Tx:9.54  Your grandeur will never deceive you, but your illusions always  will. Illusions are deceptions. You cannot triumph, but you are
Tx:9.55  from grandiosity because love is returned, but pride is not. Pride  will not produce miracles and therefore will deprive you of your true
Tx:9.55  but pride is not. Pride will not produce miracles and therefore  will deprive you of your true witnesses to your reality. Truth is not
Tx:9.56  it, the Holy Spirit cannot use it. What He cannot transform to the  Will of God does not exist at all. Grandiosity is delusional, because
Tx:9.58  does not vary. It merely is. Ask the Holy Spirit what it is and He  will tell you, but do not be afraid of His answer, for it comes from
Tx:9.59  nothing is beyond you. Time and eternity are both in your mind and  will conflict until you perceive time solely as a means to regain
Tx:9.60  you are God's only creation, and He created you eternal? Your holy  will establishes everything that happens to you. Every response you
Tx:9.60  you make to everything you perceive is up to you, because your  will determines your perception of it.
Tx:9.61  to create for your self so you could be like Him. That is why your  will is holy. Can anything exceed the love of God? Can anything,
Tx:9.61  Can anything exceed the love of God? Can anything, then, exceed your  will? Nothing can reach you from beyond it because, being in God, you
Tx:9.61  being in God, you encompass everything. Believe this, and you  will realize how much is up to you. When anything threatens your
Tx:9.63  changeless, and refuse to change your mind about yourself. God  will never decide against you, or He would be deciding against
Tx:9.65  of exile but perfectly capable of awakening to reality. Is it your  will to do so? You know from your own experience that what you see in
Tx:9.66  yet that it once was so. And it is in this remembering that you  will know it can be so again. What is possible has not yet been
Tx:9.66  has once been is so now if it is eternal. When you remember, you  will know what you remember is eternal and therefore is now.
Tx:9.67 You  will remember everything the instant you desire it wholly, for if to
Tx:9.67  you desire it wholly, for if to desire wholly is to create, you  will have willed away the separation, returning your mind
Tx:9.67  simultaneously to your Creator and your creations. Knowing them, you  will have no wish to sleep but only the will to waken and be glad.
Tx:9.67  creations. Knowing them, you will have no wish to sleep but only the  will to waken and be glad. Dreams will be impossible, because you
Tx:9.67  have no wish to sleep but only the will to waken and be glad. Dreams  will be impossible, because you will want only truth, and being at
Tx:9.67  will to waken and be glad. Dreams will be impossible, because you  will want only truth, and being at last your will, it will be yours.
Tx:9.67  impossible, because you will want only truth, and being at last your  will, it will be yours.
Tx:9.67  because you will want only truth, and being at last your will, it  will be yours.
Tx:9.69  and peace and the glory of creation. Offer the Holy Spirit only your  will to remember, for He retains the knowledge of God and of yourself

Tx:9.70  counterpart of creating in the Kingdom. God will do His part if you  will do yours, and His return in exchange for yours is the exchange
Tx:9.70  is the exchange of knowledge for perception. Nothing is beyond His  Will for you. But signify your will to remember Him and behold! He
Tx:9.70  for perception. Nothing is beyond His Will for you. But signify your  will to remember Him and behold! He will give you everything but for
Tx:9.70  Will for you. But signify your will to remember Him and behold! He  will give you everything but for the asking.
Tx:9.71  defenses always constitutes an attack on truth and truth is God, you  will realize why this is always fearful. If you further recognize
Tx:9.71  fearful. If you further recognize that you are part of God, you  will understand why it is that you always attack yourself first.
Tx:9.73  Yet the logical outcome of your decision is perfectly clear if you  will look at it. By deciding against your reality, you have made
Tx:9.74  God, and you do love Him. Can you change your reality? No one can  will to destroy himself. When you think you are attacking yourself,
Tx:9.75  have them released from their sickness and returned to His Mind. He  will not limit your power to help them, because He has given it to
Tx:9.78  willing to keep it hidden and to protect this idol, which you think  will save you from the dangers which the idol itself stands for, but
Tx:9.80  mind is not idolatrous and does not know of conflicting laws. I  will heal you merely because I have only one message, and it is true.
Tx:9.80  because I have only one message, and it is true. Your faith in it  will make you whole when you have faith in me.
Tx:9.81 I do not bring God's message with deception, and you  will learn this as you learn that you always receive as much as you
Tx:9.81  because you heard. But have no other gods before Him, or you  will not hear. God is not jealous of the gods you make, but you are.
Tx:9.82  really afraid of nothing. And in that awareness you are healed. You  will hear the god you listen to. You made the god of sickness, and by
Tx:9.82  able to hear him. Yet you did not create him, because he is not the  Will of the Father. He is therefore not eternal and will be unmade
Tx:9.82  he is not the Will of the Father. He is therefore not eternal and  will be unmade for you the instant you signify your willingness to
Tx:9.83  only because you honor them. Place honor where it is due, and peace  will be yours. It is your inheritance from your real Father. You
Tx:9.84 Only at the altar of God  will you find peace. And this altar is in you, because God put it
Tx:9.84  God put it there. His Voice still calls you to return, and He  will be heard when you place no other gods before Him. You can give
Tx:9.84  see him anywhere, you have accepted him. And if you accept him, you  will bow down and worship him because he was made as God's
Tx:9.85  you are afraid of him, because he cannot be reconciled with God's  Will. If you attack him, you will make him real to you. But if you
Tx:9.85  he cannot be reconciled with God's Will. If you attack him, you  will make him real to you. But if you refuse to worship him in
Tx:9.85  form he may appear to you and wherever you think you see him, he  will disappear into the nothingness out of which he was made.
Tx:9.87  be divided. If you perceive other gods, your mind is split, and you  will not be able to limit the split because the split is the sign
Tx:9.87  split is the sign that you have removed part of your mind from God's  Will, and this means it is out of control. To be out of control is to
Tx:9.88 God's laws  will keep your minds at peace, because peace is His Will, and His
Tx:9.88 God's laws will keep your minds at peace, because peace is His  Will, and His laws are established to uphold it. His are the laws of

Tx:9.89  but the laws of God has ever operated, and nothing except His Will  will ever be. You were created through His laws and by His Will, and
Tx:9.89  His Will will ever be. You were created through His laws and by His  Will, and the manner of your creation established you as creators.
Tx:9.89  you could hardly want it if you were willing to see it as it is. You  will see nothing at all. And your vision will automatically look
Tx:9.89  to see it as it is. You will see nothing at all. And your vision  will automatically look beyond it to what is in you and all around
Tx:9.89  Reality cannot break through the obstructions you interpose, but it  will envelop you completely when you let them go.
Tx:9.92  never be completely forgotten. If you but see the little spark, you  will learn of the greater light, for the rays are there unseen.
Tx:9.92  greater light, for the rays are there unseen. Perceiving the spark  will heal, but knowing the light will create. Yet in the returning,

Tx:9.92  call of creation. Put all your faith in it, and God Himself  will answer you.
Tx:9.94 Do not forget, however, that to deny God  will inevitably result in projection, and you will believe that
Tx:9.94  that to deny God will inevitably result in projection, and you  will believe that others, and not yourself, have done this to you.
Tx:9.94  believe that others, and not yourself, have done this to you. You  will receive the message you give, because it is the message you
Tx:9.96 Sickness and death entered the Mind of God's Son against His  Will. The “attack on God” made His Son think he was fatherless, and
Tx:9.98  but you have been much mistaken. Yet this can be corrected, and God  will help you, knowing that you could not sin against Him. You denied
Tx:9.99  for His Son. If you hear His message, He has answered you, and you  will learn of Him if you hear aright. The love of God is in
Tx:9.99  His Son is everywhere. Look with peace upon your brothers, and God  will come rushing into your heart in gratitude for your gift to Him.
Tx:9.100  healing is the acknowledgment of Him. When you acknowledge Him, you  will know that He has never ceased to acknowledge you and that in His
Tx:9.101 If you  will accept yourself as God created you, you will be incapable of
Tx:9.101 If you will accept yourself as God created you, you  will be incapable of suffering. Yet to do this, you must acknowledge
Tx:9.101  you must acknowledge Him as your Creator. This is not because you  will be punished otherwise. It is merely because your acknowledgment
Tx:9.102  Him, you were insane. Would you have Him share your insanity? God  will never cease to love His Son, and His Son will never cease to
Tx:9.102  your insanity? God will never cease to love His Son, and His Son  will never cease to love Him. That was the condition of His Son's
Tx:9.103 Out of your gifts to Him, the Kingdom  will be restored to His Son. His Son removed himself from His gift by
Tx:9.103  given you the means for undoing what you have made. Listen, and you  will learn what you are.
Tx:9.106 Only if you accept the Fatherhood of God  will you have anything, because His fatherhood gave you everything.
Tx:9.106  to you to be desirable, the concept of choice, which is not of God,  will remain with you. While this is not true in eternity, it is true
Tx:9.106  it is true in time, so that while time lasts in your minds, there  will be choices. Time itself was your choice.
Tx:9.107  cannot both be real, because they contradict each other. If you  will accept only what is timeless as real, you will begin to
Tx:9.107  each other. If you will accept only what is timeless as real, you  will begin to understand eternity and make it yours.
Tx:10.1 Either God or the ego is insane. If you  will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, you will realize that
Tx:10.1  insane. If you will examine the evidence on both sides fairly, you  will realize that this must be true. Neither God nor the ego proposes
Tx:10.1  is always an answer to the question, “Who is my father?” And you  will be faithful to the father you choose.
Tx:10.2  the ego, which you made, is your father, or its whole thought system  will not stand.
Tx:10.3  terror on which it rests and bring it out into the light. There you  will see that it rests on meaninglessness and that everything of
Tx:10.4  have at last looked at the ego's foundation without shrinking, you  will also have looked upon ours. I come to you from our Father to
Tx:10.4  it in order to keep a dark cornerstone hidden, for its protection  will not save you. I give you the lamp and I will go with you. You
Tx:10.4  for its protection will not save you. I give you the lamp and I  will go with you. You will not take this journey alone. I will lead
Tx:10.4  will not save you. I give you the lamp and I will go with you. You  will not take this journey alone. I will lead you to your true
Tx:10.4  lamp and I will go with you. You will not take this journey alone. I  will lead you to your true Father, Who hath need of you as I have.
Tx:10.4  I will lead you to your true Father, Who hath need of you as I have.  Will you not answer the call of love with joy?
Tx:10.5  in this lies the beginning of knowledge, the foundation on which God  will help you build again the thought system which you share with
Tx:10.5  system which you share with Him. Not one stone you place upon it but  will be blessed by Him, for you will be restoring the holy dwelling
Tx:10.5  Not one stone you place upon it but will be blessed by Him, for you  will be restoring the holy dwelling place of His Son, where He wills
Tx:10.5  dwell in the Mind of God with your brother, for God Himself did not  will to be alone.
Tx:10.7 If you were not part of God, His  Will would not be unified. Is this conceivable? Can part of His Mind
Tx:10.8  for God holds for you. If you believe you are absent from God, you  will believe that He is absent from you.
Tx:10.9  God is not incomplete, and He is not childless. Because He did not  will to be alone, He created a Son like Himself. Do not deny Him His
Tx:10.9  the ability to see. Look upon the glory of His creation, and you  will learn what God has kept for you.
Tx:10.10  Could you be alone there if it was given you because God did not  will to be alone? God's Mind cannot be lessened. It can only be
Tx:10.10  and what it creates is not limited. To give without limit is God's  Will for you because only this can bring you the joy which is His and
Tx:10.11  fatherhood and your Father are one. God willed to create, and your  will is His. It follows, then, that you will to create since your
Tx:10.11  willed to create, and your will is His. It follows, then, that you  will to create since your will follows from His. And being an
Tx:10.11  will is His. It follows, then, that you will to create since your  will follows from His. And being an extension of His Will, yours must
Tx:10.11  since your will follows from His. And being an extension of His  Will, yours must be the same.
Tx:10.12 Yet what you  will you do not know. This is not strange when you realize that to
Tx:10.12  is not strange when you realize that to deny is to “not know.” God's  Will is that you are His Son. By denying this, you denied your own
Tx:10.12  Will is that you are His Son. By denying this, you denied your own  will and therefore do not know what it is. The reason you must ask
Tx:10.12  therefore do not know what it is. The reason you must ask what God's  Will is in everything is merely because it is yours. You do not know
Tx:10.12  the Holy Spirit remembers it for you. Ask Him, therefore, what God's  Will is for you, and He will tell you yours. It cannot be too often
Tx:10.12  it for you. Ask Him, therefore, what God's Will is for you, and He  will tell you yours. It cannot be too often repeated that you do not
Tx:10.12  to be coercive, it is only because you do not recognize your own  will.
Tx:10.13 The projection of the ego makes it appear as if God's  Will is outside yourself and therefore not yours. In this
Tx:10.13  not yours. In this interpretation, it is possible for God's  Will and yours to conflict. God then may seem to demand of you what
Tx:10.13  thus deprive you of what you want. Would God, who wants only your  will, be capable of this? Your will is His Life, which He has given
Tx:10.13  want. Would God, who wants only your will, be capable of this? Your  will is His Life, which He has given to you. Even in time you cannot
Tx:10.13  What He created can sleep, but it cannot die. Immortality is His  Will for His Son and His Son's will for himself. God's Son cannot
Tx:10.13  but it cannot die. Immortality is His Will for His Son and His Son's  will for himself. God's Son cannot will death for himself because His
Tx:10.13  Will for His Son and His Son's will for himself. God's Son cannot  will death for himself because His Father is Life and His Son is like
Tx:10.13  because His Father is Life and His Son is like Him. Creation is your  will because it is His.
Tx:10.14 You cannot be happy unless you do what you  will truly, and you cannot change this because it is immutable. It is
Tx:10.14  cannot change this because it is immutable. It is immutable by God's  Will and yours, for otherwise His Will would not have been extended.
Tx:10.14  It is immutable by God's Will and yours, for otherwise His  Will would not have been extended. You are afraid to know God's Will
Tx:10.14  His Will would not have been extended. You are afraid to know God's  Will because you believe it is not yours. This belief is your whole
Tx:10.15  for you. He is the Voice for God, but never forget that God did not  will to be alone. He shares His Will with you; He does not thrust it
Tx:10.15  but never forget that God did not will to be alone. He shares His  Will with you; He does not thrust it upon you. Always remember that
Tx:10.15  for sharing is knowing. Blessed are you who learn that to hear the  Will of your Father is to know your own. For it is your will to be
Tx:10.15  to hear the Will of your Father is to know your own. For it is your  will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God's Will is
Tx:10.15  is to know your own. For it is your will to be like Him, Whose  Will it is that it be so. God's Will is that His Son be one, and
Tx:10.15  is your will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. God's  Will is that His Son be one, and united with Him in His Oneness. That
Tx:10.15  That is why healing is the beginning of the recognition that your  will is His.
Tx:10.16 If sickness is separation, the  will to heal and be healed is the first step toward recognizing what
Tx:10.16  both Father and Son. To unite having and being is only to unite your  will with His, for He wills you Himself. And you will yourself to Him
Tx:10.16  only to unite your will with His, for He wills you Himself. And you  will yourself to Him because, in your perfect understanding of Him,
Tx:10.16  in your perfect understanding of Him, you know there is but one  will. Yet when you attack any part of God and His Kingdom, your
Tx:10.16  God and His Kingdom, your understanding is not perfect, and what you  will is therefore lost to you.
Tx:10.18  as love. You cannot deny part of yourself because the remainder  will seem to be unintegrated and therefore without meaning. And being
Tx:10.18  and therefore without meaning. And being without meaning to you, you  will not understand it. To deny meaning must be to fail to
Tx:10.18  himself and therefore knows not what he does. Having forgotten his  will, he does not know what he wants.
Tx:10.19  ears to the Voice of the Holy Spirit, whose message is wholeness. He  will enable you to go far beyond the healing you would undertake, for
Tx:10.19  would undertake, for beside your small willingness to make whole, He  will lay His own complete will and make yours whole. What can the Son
Tx:10.19  your small willingness to make whole, He will lay His own complete  will and make yours whole. What can the Son of God not accomplish
Tx:10.19  you, for you have surely learned that whom you invite as your guest  will abide with you.
Tx:10.20 The Holy Spirit cannot speak to an unwelcoming host because He  will not be heard. The Eternal Guest remains, but His Voice grows
Tx:10.20  Guest. Whenever you ask the ego to enter, you lessen His welcome. He  will remain, but you have allied yourself against Him. Whatever
Tx:10.20  allied yourself against Him. Whatever journey you choose to take, He  will go with you, waiting. You can safely trust His patience, for He
Tx:10.21 You  will never rest until you know your function and fulfill it, for only
Tx:10.21  you know your function and fulfill it, for only in this can your  will and your Father's be wholly joined. To have Him is to be like
Tx:10.21  Invite this knowledge back into your minds, and let nothing that  will obscure it enter. The Guest whom God sent you will teach you how
Tx:10.21  let nothing that will obscure it enter. The Guest whom God sent you  will teach you how to do this if you but recognize the little spark
Tx:10.21  grow. Your willingness need not be perfect, because His is. If you  will merely offer Him a little place, He will lighten it so much that
Tx:10.21  because His is. If you will merely offer Him a little place, He  will lighten it so much that you will gladly extend it. And by this
Tx:10.21  merely offer Him a little place, He will lighten it so much that you  will gladly extend it. And by this extending, you will begin to
Tx:10.21  so much that you will gladly extend it. And by this extending, you  will begin to remember creation.
Tx:10.22 Would you be hostage to the ego or host to God? You  will accept only whom you invite. You are free to determine who shall
Tx:10.23 When you are weary, remember you have hurt yourself. Your Comforter  will rest you, but you cannot. You do not know how, for if you did
Tx:10.23  yourselves, you could never suffer in any way, for that is not God's  Will for His Son. Pain is not of Him, for He knows no attack and His
Tx:10.24  in need of comfort, for he knows not what he does, believing his  will is not his own. The Kingdom is his, and yet he wanders
Tx:10.24  brothers, he is friendless. Would God let this be real if He did not  will to be alone Himself? And if your will is His, it cannot be true
Tx:10.24  let this be real if He did not will to be alone Himself? And if your  will is His, it cannot be true of you because it is not true of Him.
Tx:10.25 When the light comes and you have said, “God's  Will is mine,” you will see such beauty that you will know it is not
Tx:10.25 When the light comes and you have said, “God's Will is mine,” you  will see such beauty that you will know it is not of you. Out of your
Tx:10.25  have said, “God's Will is mine,” you will see such beauty that you  will know it is not of you. Out of your joy you will create beauty in
Tx:10.25  such beauty that you will know it is not of you. Out of your joy you  will create beauty in His name, for your joy could no more be
Tx:10.25  your joy could no more be contained than His. The bleak little world  will vanish into nothingness, and your heart will be so filled with
Tx:10.25  The bleak little world will vanish into nothingness, and your heart  will be so filled with joy that it will leap into Heaven and into the
Tx:10.25  into nothingness, and your heart will be so filled with joy that it  will leap into Heaven and into the Presence of God. I cannot tell you
Tx:10.25  Heaven and into the Presence of God. I cannot tell you what this  will be like, for your hearts are not ready. Yet I can tell you and
Tx:10.27  him to be glorious and gave him the light that shines in him. You  will never lose your way, for God leads you. When you wander, you but
Tx:10.28  are no other gods that you can place before Him, and accept His  Will for you in peace. For you cannot accept it otherwise.
Tx:10.29  find it waiting for you. But be holy in the Presence of God, or you  will not know that you are there. For what is unlike God cannot enter
Tx:10.30  Sonship and bless it with the light your Father gave it. Then you  will be worthy to dwell in the temple with Him because it is your
Tx:10.30  will be worthy to dwell in the temple with Him because it is your  will not to be alone. God blessed His Son forever. If you will bless
Tx:10.30  it is your will not to be alone. God blessed His Son forever. If you  will bless him in time, you will be in eternity. Time cannot separate
Tx:10.30  God blessed His Son forever. If you will bless him in time, you  will be in eternity. Time cannot separate you from God if you use it
Tx:10.32  deny your Father is still for your protection, for the power of your  will cannot be lessened without the intervention of God against it,
Tx:10.32  of God against it, and any limitation on your power is not the  Will of God. Therefore, look only to the power that God gave to save
Tx:10.33  that you can only darken your own mind. As you bring him back, so  will your mind return. That is the law of God for the protection of
Tx:10.35  His Son. When His Son lifts his voice in praise of his Creator, he  will hear the Voice of his Father. Yet the Creator cannot be praised
Tx:10.36  His Son. But come wholly without condemnation, for otherwise you  will believe that the door is barred and you cannot enter. The door
Tx:10.38  the Father, the Son must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he  will not know the Father or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in
Tx:10.39  at the ego's thought system because together we have the lamp that  will dispel it, and since you realize you do not want it, you must be
Tx:10.39  we are merely looking honestly for truth. The “dynamics” of the ego  will be our lesson for a while, for we must look first at this to
Tx:10.39  look first at this to look beyond it since you have made it real. We  will undo this error quietly together and then look beyond it to
Tx:10.40  without protecting them? Be not afraid, therefore, for what you  will be looking at is the source of fear, but you have surely learned
Tx:10.44  being out of accord with your true nature. We once said that to  will contrary to God is wishful thinking and not real willing. His
Tx:10.44  will contrary to God is wishful thinking and not real willing. His  Will is one because the extension of His Will cannot be unlike
Tx:10.44  and not real willing. His Will is one because the extension of His  Will cannot be unlike itself. The real conflict you experience, then,
Tx:10.44  you experience, then, is between the ego's idle wishes and the  Will of God, which you share. Can this be a real conflict?
Tx:10.49  For though you may countenance a false idea of independence, you  will not accept the cost of fear if you recognize it. Yet this is the
Tx:10.51  is yours and happiness cannot be found apart from your joint  will. Recognize only that the ego's goal, which you have pursued
Tx:10.52  not insane and cannot believe it. Let him but recognize it, and he  will not accept it. For only the insane would choose fear in place of
Tx:10.53  without meaningful relationships and thus without meaning. The ego  will always substitute chaos for meaning, for if separation is
Tx:10.57 Would you remember the Father? Accept His Son, and you  will remember Him. Nothing can demonstrate that His Son is unworthy,
Tx:10.57  Son is, the Father must be. Accept what God does not deny, and He  will demonstrate its truth. The witnesses for God stand in His light
Tx:10.58  want to be true. Every brother has the power to release you if you  will to be free. You cannot accept false witness of him unless you
Tx:10.58  You hear but your own voice, and if Christ speaks through you, you  will hear Him.
Tx:10.59  seen and still believe,” for those who believe in the resurrection  will see it. The resurrection is the complete triumph of Christ over
Tx:10.61  teaches. I am leading you to a new kind of experience, which you  will become less and less willing to deny. Learning of Christ is
Tx:10.61  of God's Son. For until Christ comes into His own, the Son of God  will see himself as fatherless.
Tx:10.62  and it has been accomplished in you. This is as true now as it  will ever be, for the resurrection is the Will of God, which knows no
Tx:10.62  This is as true now as it will ever be, for the resurrection is the  Will of God, which knows no time and no exceptions. But make no
Tx:10.62  no time and no exceptions. But make no exceptions yourself, or you  will not perceive what has been accomplished for you. For we ascend
Tx:10.63  him. That is why his slavery is as complete as his freedom, for he  will obey only the god he accepts. The god of the crucifixion demands
Tx:10.63  pain. The God of the resurrection demands nothing, for He does not  will to take away. He does not require obedience, for obedience
Tx:10.63  obedience implies submission. He would only have you learn your own  will and follow it, not in the spirit of sacrifice and submission,
Tx:10.64  yours with them. Guard them in their resurrection, for otherwise you  will not awake in God, safely surrounded by what is yours forever.
Tx:10.65 You  will not find peace until you have removed the nails from the hands
Tx:10.66  thorns upon your own head. Yet you cannot crucify God's Son, for the  Will of God cannot die. His Son has been redeemed from his own
Tx:10.67 You  will awaken to your own call, for the Call to awake is within you. If
Tx:10.67  you are awake. Yet you must see the works I do through you, or you  will not perceive that I have done them unto you. Do not set limits
Tx:10.67  Do not set limits on what you believe I can do through you, or you  will not accept what I can do for you. For it is done already, and
Tx:10.67  is done already, and unless you give all that you have received, you  will not know that your Redeemer liveth and that you have awakened
Tx:10.68 God's Son is saved. Bring only this awareness to the Sonship, and you  will have a part in the redemption as valuable as mine. For your part
Tx:10.68  of God is in every part of Him, and nothing contradictory to His  Will is either great or small. What does not exist has no size and no
Tx:10.71  is like Him. Only this is the real world, and perceiving only this  will lead you to the real Heaven because it will make you capable of
Tx:10.71  and perceiving only this will lead you to the real Heaven because it  will make you capable of understanding it.
Tx:10.72  awareness, you have not met its conditions, and until you do you  will not know that it is yours already. You have made many ideas
Tx:10.73  that you can know yourself. You can know God because it is His  Will to be known. The real world is all that the Holy Spirit has
Tx:10.74  But do you believe it? When you have perceived the real world, you  will recognize that you did not believe it. Yet the swiftness with
Tx:10.74  it. Yet the swiftness with which your new and only real perception  will be translated into knowledge will leave you only an instant to
Tx:10.74  your new and only real perception will be translated into knowledge  will leave you only an instant to realize that this judgment is true.
Tx:10.75 And then everything you made  will be forgotten, the good and the bad, the false and the true. For
Tx:10.75  the true. For as Heaven and earth become one, even the real world  will vanish from your sight. The end of the world is not its
Tx:10.75  you. Yet the Holy Spirit has saved its meaning for you, and if you  will let Him interpret it for you, He will restore what you have
Tx:10.75  meaning for you, and if you will let Him interpret it for you, He  will restore what you have thrown away. As long as you think you know
Tx:10.75  you have thrown away. As long as you think you know its meaning, you  will see no need to ask it of Him.
Tx:10.77 No one can withhold truth except from himself. Yet God  will not refuse the answer He gave you. Ask, then, for what is yours
Tx:10.79 Decide for the answer and you  will have it, for you will see it as it is, and it is yours already.
Tx:10.79 Decide for the answer and you will have it, for you  will see it as it is, and it is yours already.
Tx:10.80  be more specific than to be told very clearly that if you ask you  will receive. The Holy Spirit will answer every specific problem as
Tx:10.80  told very clearly that if you ask you will receive. The Holy Spirit  will answer every specific problem as long as you believe that
Tx:10.80  that you are afraid of His specificity for fear of what you think it  will demand of you. Yet only by asking will you learn that nothing
Tx:10.80  for fear of what you think it will demand of you. Yet only by asking  will you learn that nothing that is of God demands anything of you.
Tx:10.81  is taking, and you do not perceive it as sharing. The Holy Spirit  will give you only what is yours and will take nothing in return. For
Tx:10.81  it as sharing. The Holy Spirit will give you only what is yours and  will take nothing in return. For what is yours is everything, and you
Tx:10.82  Do not deny it to yourself, for it can only free you. Nothing of God  will enslave His Son, whom He created free and whose freedom is
Tx:10.83 Blessed are you who  will ask the truth of God without fear, for only thus can you learn
Tx:10.83  anyone who asks it of him. Ask anything of God's Son and His Father  will answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His Father, and His
Tx:10.84  thoughts as his reality, for by denying that his mind is split, you  will heal yours. Accept him as his Father accepts him and heal him
Tx:10.85  As you become willing to accept this Help by asking for it, you  will give it because you want it. Nothing will be beyond your healing
Tx:10.85  Help by asking for it, you will give it because you want it. Nothing  will be beyond your healing power because nothing will be denied your
Tx:10.85  want it. Nothing will be beyond your healing power because nothing  will be denied your simple request. What problems will not disappear
Tx:10.85  because nothing will be denied your simple request. What problems  will not disappear in the presence of God's answer? Ask, then, to
Tx:10.85  to learn of the reality of your brother because this is what you  will perceive in him, and you will see your beauty reflected in him.
Tx:10.85  your brother because this is what you will perceive in him, and you  will see your beauty reflected in him.
Tx:10.86  variable perception of himself, for his split mind is yours, and you  will not accept your healing without his. For you share the real
Tx:10.86  one with his Father. Love him who is beloved of His Father, and you  will learn of the Father's love for you.
Tx:10.89  they are of the Teacher of Reality, and hearing His answer, you too  will laugh at your fears and replace them with peace. For fear lies
Tx:10.89  to perceive truly, they are not afraid. And because of this, they  will ask for truth again when they are frightened. It is not the
Tx:10.89  and dragons. Ask of their reality from the One who knows it, and He  will tell you what they are. For you do not understand them, and
Tx:10.90  Yet you can learn the truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit, who  will teach you that, as part of God, deceit in you is impossible.
Tx:10.90  in you is impossible. When you perceive yourself without deceit, you  will accept the real world in place of the false one you have made.
Tx:10.90  world in place of the false one you have made. And then your Father  will lean down to you and take the last step for you by raising you
Tx:11.1  is really trying to attack you or desert you or enslave you, you  will respond as if he had actually done so, because you have made his
Tx:11.1  To interpret error is to give it power, and having done this, you  will overlook truth.
Tx:11.4  If you maintain that an appeal for help is something else, you  will react to something else, and your response will be inappropriate
Tx:11.4  something else, you will react to something else, and your response  will be inappropriate to reality as it is but not to your perception
Tx:11.6  answering his appeal can you be helped. Deny him your help, and you  will not perceive God's answer to you. The Holy Spirit does not need
Tx:11.7  help yourselves. But hear his call for the help of God, and you  will recognize your own need for the Father.
Tx:11.8  are asking for it, and if you perceive but one need in yourself, you  will be healed. For you will recognize God's answer as you want it to
Tx:11.8  you perceive but one need in yourself, you will be healed. For you  will recognize God's answer as you want it to be, and if you want it
Tx:11.8  God's answer as you want it to be, and if you want it in truth, it  will be truly yours. Every appeal you answer in the name of Christ
Tx:11.9  of the reactions of others more and more consistently, you  will gain an increasing awareness that His criteria are equally
Tx:11.9  how well the Holy Spirit's interpretation of the motives of others  will serve you then.
Tx:11.10  is what recognizing it really means. If you do not protect it, He  will reinterpret it. That is the ultimate value to you in learning to
Tx:11.13  replace fear with love and translate error into truth. And thus  will you learn of Him how to replace your dream of separation with
Tx:11.16  offer himself. Whatever the sickness, there is but one remedy. You  will be made whole as you make whole, for to perceive in sickness the
Tx:11.17  it, their fears vanish, but if they hide their nightmares, they  will keep them. It is easy to help an uncertain child, for he
Tx:11.18  the covers and look at what you are afraid of. Only the anticipation  will frighten you, for the reality of nothingness cannot be
Tx:11.18  be frightening. Let us not delay this, for your dream of hatred  will not leave you without help, and help is here. Learn to be quiet
Tx:11.19  was given you by God, and you must accomplish it because it is His  Will. Awake and remember your purpose, for it is your will to do so.
Tx:11.19  it is His Will. Awake and remember your purpose, for it is your  will to do so. What has been accomplished for you must be yours. Do
Tx:11.20 A little while and you  will see me, for I am not hidden because you are hiding. I will
Tx:11.20  and you will see me, for I am not hidden because you are hiding. I  will awaken you as surely as I awakened myself, for I awoke for you.
Tx:11.20  not redemption. Trust in my help, for I did not walk alone, and I  will walk with you as our Father walked with me. Did you not know
Tx:11.21 There is no fear in perfect love. We  will but be making perfect to you what is already perfect in you. You
Tx:11.21  perfect in you. You do not fear the unknown, but the known. You  will not fail in your mission because I failed not in mine. Give me
Tx:11.21  little trust in the name of the complete trust I have in you, and we  will easily accomplish the goal of perfection together. For
Tx:11.22  to banish love have not succeeded, but you who choose to banish fear  will succeed. The Lord is with you, but you know it not. Yet your
Tx:11.22  it, not by denying its full import in any way—this is what you  will really see. You cannot lay aside the obstacle to real vision
Tx:11.22  looking upon it, for to lay aside means to judge against. If you  will look, the Holy Spirit will judge and will judge truly. He cannot
Tx:11.22  lay aside means to judge against. If you will look, the Holy Spirit  will judge and will judge truly. He cannot shine away what you keep
Tx:11.22  to judge against. If you will look, the Holy Spirit will judge and  will judge truly. He cannot shine away what you keep hidden, for you
Tx:11.23  for otherwise His knowledge remains useless to you. Surely He  will not fail to help you, since help is His only purpose. Do you not
Tx:11.28  to believe even for an instant that there is another answer. For you  will surely place yourself among the poor, who do not understand that
Tx:11.33  He would not have it so, and so it is not so. You still could not  will against Him, and that is why you have no control over the world
Tx:11.33  you have no control over the world you made. It is not a world of  will because it is governed by the desire to be unlike Him, and this
Tx:11.33  is governed by the desire to be unlike Him, and this desire is not  will. The world you made is therefore totally chaotic, governed by
Tx:11.34  it is outside of yourself, for only by recognizing where it is  will you gain control over it. For you do have control over your mind
Tx:11.34  over your mind since the mind is the mechanism of decision. If you  will recognize that all attack which you perceive is in your own mind
Tx:11.34  attack which you perceive is in your own mind and nowhere else, you  will at last have placed its source, and where it began it must end.
Tx:11.35  of the world to this altar, for it is the altar to truth. There you  will see your vision changed, and there you will learn to see truly.
Tx:11.35  to truth. There you will see your vision changed, and there you  will learn to see truly. From this place, where God and His Son dwell
Tx:11.35  where God and His Son dwell in peace and where you are welcome, you  will look out in peace and behold the world truly. Yet to find the
Tx:11.36  is the one promise the ego holds out to you and the one promise it  will keep. For the ego pursues its goal with fanatic insistence, and
Tx:11.37  your mind that has the power to deny the ego's existence, and you  will surely do so when you realize exactly what the journey is on
Tx:11.38  that it had not taught you the response pattern you need. The ego  will therefore distort love and teach you that love calls forth the
Tx:11.38  which the ego can teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you  will search for love but will not recognize it.
Tx:11.38  teach. Follow its teaching, then, and you will search for love but  will not recognize it.
Tx:11.39  would keep? The Holy Spirit offers you another promise, and one that  will lead to joy. For His promise is always, “Seek and you will
Tx:11.39  one that will lead to joy. For His promise is always, “Seek and you  will find,” and under His guidance you cannot be defeated. His is the
Tx:11.39  is the journey to accomplishment, and the goal He sets before you He  will give you. For He will never deceive God's Son, whom He loves
Tx:11.39  and the goal He sets before you He will give you. For He  will never deceive God's Son, whom He loves with the love of the
Tx:11.40 You  will undertake a journey because you are not at home in this world.
Tx:11.40  a journey because you are not at home in this world. And you  will search for your home whether you know where it is or not. If you
Tx:11.40  it is or not. If you believe it is outside yourself, the search  will be futile, for you will be seeking it where it is not. You do
Tx:11.40  believe it is outside yourself, the search will be futile, for you  will be seeking it where it is not. You do not know how to look

Tx:11.72  more real to you, you will learn that you do want only that. And you  will see me as you look within, and we will look upon the world as

Tx:11.72  only the real world exists and can be seen. As you decide, so  will you see. And all that you see but witnesses to your decision.
Tx:11.73 When you look within and see me, it  will be because you have decided to manifest truth. And as you

Tx:11.74  is the one end toward which it works, and the only end with which it  will be satisfied.
Tx:11.75  you have been treacherous to God and therefore deserve death. You  will think that death comes from God and not from the ego because, by
Tx:11.76  to yield to the desire for death, remember that I did not die. You  will realize that this is true when you look within and see me. Would
Tx:11.76  He had also given it to you? When you learn to make me manifest, you  will never see death. For you will have looked upon the deathless in
Tx:11.76  you learn to make me manifest, you will never see death. For you  will have looked upon the deathless in yourself, and you will see
Tx:11.76  For you will have looked upon the deathless in yourself, and you  will see only the eternal as you look out upon a world that cannot
Tx:11.77  that you cannot see it. If you seek love in order to attack it, you  will never find it. For if love is sharing, how can you find it
Tx:11.77  sharing, how can you find it except through itself? Offer it and it  will come to you because it is drawn to itself. But offer attack and

Tx:11.85  from the mind being judged, believing that by punishing another, it  will escape punishment. All this is but the delusional attempt of the
Tx:11.86  of those made mad by guilt. Look carefully at this world, and you  will realize that this is so. For this world is the symbol of

Tx:11.88  Son cannot be crucified, this is the world you will see. Yet you  will not realize this until you accept the eternal fact that God's
Tx:11.91  Time seems to go in one direction, but when you reach its end, it  will roll up like a long carpet which has spread along the past
Tx:11.91  up like a long carpet which has spread along the past behind you and  will disappear. As long as you believe the Son of God is guilty, you
Tx:11.91  will disappear. As long as you believe the Son of God is guilty, you  will walk along this carpet, believing that it leads to death. And
Tx:11.91  along this carpet, believing that it leads to death. And the journey  will seem long and cruel and senseless, for so it is.
Tx:11.92  Son cannot hurt himself. The retaliation he fears and which he sees  will never touch him, for although he believes in it, the Holy Spirit
Tx:11.93 You  will see me as you learn the Son of God is guiltless. He has always
Tx:11.93  of his purity shines untouched forever in God's Mind. God's Son  will always be as he was created. Deny your world and judge him not,
Tx:11.94 When you have accepted the Atonement for yourselves, you  will realize that there is no guilt in God's Son. And only as you
Tx:11.95 As you perceive the holy companions who travel with you, you  will realize that there is no journey, but only an awakening. The Son
Tx:11.96  on to the past only through guilt. For guilt establishes that you  will be punished for what you have done and thus depends on
Tx:11.96  in your minds to ensure the ego's continuity. For if what has been  will be punished, the ego's continuity is guaranteed. Yet the
Tx:12.3  it is blind. Yet let it perceive guiltlessness anywhere, and it  will try to destroy it because it is afraid.

Tx:12.6  interpretation, but if you will consider your reactions to it, you  will become increasingly convinced that this is so.
Tx:12.7  Yet you are afraid of it. You have been told again and again that it  will make you free, yet you react as if it is trying to imprison you.
Tx:12.8  with gladness. You are afraid of redemption, and you believe it  will kill you. Make no mistake about the depth of your fear. For you
Tx:12.8  of your fear. For you believe that in the presence of truth you  will turn on yourself and destroy yourself.
Tx:12.9  this is not so. Your “guilty secret” is nothing, and if you  will but bring it to the light, the light will dispel it. And then no
Tx:12.9  is nothing, and if you will but bring it to the light, the light  will dispel it. And then no dark cloud will remain between you and
Tx:12.9  it to the light, the light will dispel it. And then no dark cloud  will remain between you and the remembrance of your Father, for you
Tx:12.9  will remain between you and the remembrance of your Father, for you  will remember His guiltless Son, who did not die because he is
Tx:12.9  His guiltless Son, who did not die because he is immortal. And you  will see that you were redeemed with him and have never been
Tx:12.9  remembering, for it is the recognition of love without fear. There  will be great joy in Heaven on your homecoming, and the joy will be
Tx:12.9  There will be great joy in Heaven on your homecoming, and the joy  will be yours. For the redeemed son of man is the guiltless Son of
Tx:12.10  Atonement, which you do not yet realize. We have said that no one  will countenance fear if he recognizes it. Yet in your disordered
Tx:12.12  still deeper than the ego's foundation, and much stronger than it  will ever be, is your intense and burning love of God, and His for
Tx:12.13  attacking your fortress, for you would shut out God, and He does not  will to be excluded.
Tx:12.15  enter where it is not welcome. But hatred can, for it enters of its  will and cares not for yours.
Tx:12.17  carefully for any thoughts which you may fear to uncover. For He  will heal every little thought which you have kept to hurt you and
Tx:12.18  calls you to Himself. In that place which you have hidden, you  will only to unite with the Father in loving remembrance of Him. You
Tx:12.18  will only to unite with the Father in loving remembrance of Him. You  will find this place of truth as you see it in your brothers, for
Tx:12.18  they long for the grandeur that is in them. And perceiving it you  will welcome it, and it will be yours. For grandeur is the right of
Tx:12.18  that is in them. And perceiving it you will welcome it, and it  will be yours. For grandeur is the right of God's Son, and no
Tx:12.18  him or save him from what he is. Only his love is real, and he  will be content only with his reality.
Tx:12.19  Father in peace and joy. But exempt no one from your love, or you  will be hiding a dark place in your mind where the Holy Spirit is not
Tx:12.19  place in your mind where the Holy Spirit is not welcome. And you  will exempt yourself from His healing power, for by not offering
Tx:12.19  yourself from His healing power, for by not offering total love, you  will not be healed completely. Healing must be as complete as fear,
Tx:12.22  in your insanity. [And this He did. No one who hears His answer but  will give up insanity.] For His answer is the reference point beyond
Tx:12.22  back on them and see them as insane. But seek this place, and you  will find it, for love is in you and will lead you there.
Tx:12.22  But seek this place, and you will find it, for love is in you and  will lead you there.
Tx:12.26  that the past is the only aspect of time that is meaningful. You  will remember that we said its emphasis on guilt enables it to ensure
Tx:12.27  present reality. In effect, if you follow the ego's dictates, you  will react to your brothers as though they were someone else, and
Tx:12.27  react to your brothers as though they were someone else, and this  will surely prevent you from perceiving them as they are. And you
Tx:12.27  will surely prevent you from perceiving them as they are. And you  will receive messages from them out of your own past because, by
Tx:12.32 You too  will interpret the function of time as you interpret yours. If you
Tx:12.32  If you accept your function in the world of time as healing, you  will emphasize only the aspect of time in which healing can occur.
Tx:12.32  the past. But if you interpret your function as destruction, you  will lose sight of the present and hold on to the past to ensure a
Tx:12.32  and hold on to the past to ensure a destructive future. And time  will be as you interpret it, for of itself it is nothing.
Tx:12.36  they have condemned themselves. They do not wish to die, yet they  will not let condemnation go. And so they separate into their private
Tx:12.39  For if you offer it to yourself, you are offering it to Him. And He  will not return it, for it is unworthy of you because it is unworthy
Tx:12.40 You  will see all that you denied in your brothers because you denied it
Tx:12.40  denied in your brothers because you denied it in yourself. For you  will love them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you will draw them to
Tx:12.40  yourself. For you will love them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you  will draw them to yourself, perceiving them as witnesses to your
Tx:12.40  which you share with God. I am with them as I am with you, and we  will draw them from their private worlds, for as we are united, so
Tx:12.41  what you see you made. But let the darkness go, and all you made you  will no longer see, for sight of it depends upon denying vision. Yet
Tx:12.42  For He loves what He sees within you, and He would extend it. And He  will not return unto the Father until He has extended your perception
Tx:12.43  in perfect radiance, which is undimmed by your dreams. And this you  will see as you look with Him, for His vision is His gift of love to
Tx:12.44  who would behold Him can see Him, for they have asked for light. Nor  will they see Him alone, for He is no more alone than they are.
Tx:12.44  they saw the Son, they have risen in Him to the Father. And all this  will they understand because they looked within and saw beyond the
Tx:12.45  was now. If you remember the past as you look upon your brother, you  will be unable to perceive the reality that is now.
Tx:12.46  at all to the past, either his or yours as you perceived it, you  will be able to learn from what you see now. For the past can cast no
Tx:12.49  obscure him from you, for truth lies only in the present, and you  will find it if you seek it there. You have looked for it where it is
Tx:12.49  have not found it. Learn, then, to seek it where it is, and it  will dawn on eyes that see. Your past was made in anger, and if you
Tx:12.49  past was made in anger, and if you use it to attack the present, you  will not see the freedom that the present holds. Judgment and
Tx:12.49  condemnation are behind you, and unless you bring them with you, you  will see that you are free of them.
Tx:12.50  enables them to reach each other. The present is before time was and  will be when time is no more. In it is everything that is eternal,
Tx:12.51  witnesses to shine on you because you called them forth. And they  will not deny the truth in you because you looked for it in them and
Tx:12.53 Shine on your brothers in remembrance of your Creator, for you  will remember Him as you call forth the witnesses to His creation.
Tx:12.53  you heal bear witness to your healing, for in their wholeness you  will see your own. And as your hymns of praise and gladness rise to
Tx:12.53  And as your hymns of praise and gladness rise to your Creator, He  will return your thanks in His clear answer to your call. For it can

Tx:12.55  this light will attract you as nothing in this world can do. And you  will lay aside the world and find another. This other world is bright
Tx:12.55  other world is bright with love, which you have given it. And here  will everything remind you of your Father and His Holy Son. Light is
Tx:12.55  across this world in quiet joy. All those you brought with you  will shine on you, and you will shine on them in gratitude because
Tx:12.55  quiet joy. All those you brought with you will shine on you, and you  will shine on them in gratitude because they brought you here. Your

Tx:12.55  Your light will join with theirs in power so compelling that it  will draw the others out of darkness as you look on them.
Tx:12.56 Awakening unto Christ is following the laws of love of your free  will and out of quiet recognition of the truth in them. The
Tx:12.60  because you have denied the other. Both are not true, yet either one  will seem as real to you as the amount to which you hold it dear. And
Tx:12.62  touch you even here because you love it. And what you call with love  will come to you. Love always answers, being unable to deny a call
Tx:12.64  other world about him. Yet while he still lays value on his own, he  will deny the vision of the other world, maintaining that he loves
Tx:12.64  love points out. Love leads so gladly! And as you follow Him, you  will rejoice that you have found His company and learned of Him the
Tx:12.64  world over and exchange your errors for the peace of God is but your  will. And Christ will always offer you the Will of God in recognition
Tx:12.64  your errors for the peace of God is but your will. And Christ  will always offer you the Will of God in recognition that you share
Tx:12.64  peace of God is but your will. And Christ will always offer you the  Will of God in recognition that you share it with Him.
Tx:12.65 It is God's  Will that nothing touch His Son except Himself, and nothing else
Tx:12.66  wholly yours. For all else you have lent yourself in time, and it  will fade. But this one thing is always yours, being the gift of God
Tx:12.67 You  will first dream of peace and then awaken to it. Your first exchange
Tx:12.68  between the two worlds, He knows what you have need of and what  will not hurt you. Ownership is a dangerous concept if it is left to
Tx:12.69 Everything that the ego tells you that you need  will hurt you. For although the ego urges you again and again to get,
Tx:12.69  again and again to get, it leaves you nothing, for what you get, it  will demand of you. And even from the very hands that grasped it, it
Tx:12.69  will demand of you. And even from the very hands that grasped it, it  will be wrenched and hurled into the dust. For where the ego sees
Tx:12.69  what you need, for you do not know and your advice unto yourself  will hurt you. For what you think you need will merely serve to
Tx:12.69  your advice unto yourself will hurt you. For what you think you need  will merely serve to tighten up your world against the light and
Tx:12.70 Only the Holy Spirit knows what you need. For He  will give you all things that do not block the way to light. And what
Tx:12.70  you need? In time He gives you all the things that you need have and  will renew them as long as you have need of them. He will take
Tx:12.70  need have and will renew them as long as you have need of them. He  will take nothing from you as long as you have any need of it. And
Tx:12.70  of it. And yet He knows that everything you need is temporary and  will but last until you step aside from all your needs and learn that
Tx:12.70  in the things that He supplies except to make certain that you  will not use them on behalf of lingering in time. He knows that you
Tx:12.71 Leave, then, your needs to Him. He  will supply them with no emphasis at all upon them. What comes to you
Tx:12.71  at all upon them. What comes to you of Him comes safely, for He  will ensure it never can become a dark spot, hidden in your mind and
Tx:12.71  hidden in your mind and kept to hurt you. Under His guidance, you  will travel light and journey lightly, for His sight is ever on the
Tx:12.74 Then follow Him in joy, with faith that He  will lead you safely through all dangers to your peace of mind that
Tx:12.74  you. Kneel not before the altars to sacrifice and seek not what you  will surely lose. Content yourselves with what you will as surely
Tx:12.74  seek not what you will surely lose. Content yourselves with what you  will as surely keep and be not restless, for you undertake a quiet
Tx:12.75  of God. Hold me dear, for what except your brothers can you need? We  will restore to you the peace of mind that we must find together. The
Tx:12.75  to you the peace of mind that we must find together. The Holy Spirit  will teach you to awaken unto us and to yourself. This is the only
Tx:12.75  glad exchange for all the world has offered but to take away. And we  will spread it like a veil of light across the world's sad face, in
Tx:12.76  Father's gift to me, given me through His Spirit. The sound of it  will banish sorrow from the Mind of God's most holy Son, where it
Tx:13.2  Christ beholds everything in light. Yet no perception, however holy,  will last forever.
Tx:13.3  is needful here. Aspects of reality can still be seen, and they  will replace aspects of unreality. Aspects of reality can be seen in
Tx:13.6  are all the same; all beautiful and equal in their holiness. And He  will offer them unto His Father as they were offered unto Him. There
Tx:13.8 When you have seen your brothers as yourself, you  will be released to knowledge, having learned to free yourself of Him
Tx:13.8  of His teaching, and as we grow in strength, the power of God's Son  will move in us, and we will leave no one untouched and no one left
Tx:13.8  we grow in strength, the power of God's Son will move in us, and we  will leave no one untouched and no one left alone. And suddenly time
Tx:13.8  will leave no one untouched and no one left alone. And suddenly time  will be over, and we will all unite in the eternity of God the
Tx:13.8  and no one left alone. And suddenly time will be over, and we  will all unite in the eternity of God the Father. The holy light you
Tx:13.8  saw outside yourself in every miracle you offered to your brothers  will be returned to you. And knowing that the light is in you, your
Tx:13.8  to you. And knowing that the light is in you, your creations  will be there with you, as you are in your Father.
Tx:13.10  to what you do not know, and as they reach the gates of Heaven, God  will open them. For never would He leave His own beloved Son outside
Tx:13.11  upon His Son. The guilty always condemn, and having done so, they  will condemn, linking the future to the past as is the ego's law.
Tx:13.11  so brightly that the chain of darkness in which you bound yourselves  will disappear.
Tx:13.12  harsh commandments, you bring its condemnation of yourself, and you  will not escape the punishment it offers those who obey it. The ego
Tx:13.13  in it and placed your faith in. Be faithful unto darkness and you  will not see, because your faith will be rewarded as you gave it. You
Tx:13.13  Be faithful unto darkness and you will not see, because your faith  will be rewarded as you gave it. You will accept your treasure, and
Tx:13.13  not see, because your faith will be rewarded as you gave it. You  will accept your treasure, and if you place your faith in the past,
Tx:13.13  your treasure, and if you place your faith in the past, the future  will be like it. Whatever you hold as dear, you think is yours. The
Tx:13.13  you hold as dear, you think is yours. The power of your valuing  will make it so.
Tx:13.16 See no one, then, as guilty, and you  will affirm the truth of guiltlessness unto yourself. In every
Tx:13.16  whom you see as guilty become the witnesses to guilt in you, and you  will see it there, for it is there until it is undone. Guilt is
Tx:13.17  makes you blind, for while you see one spot of guilt within you, you  will not see the light. And by projecting it, the world seems dark
Tx:13.21  No one who would unite in any way with anyone for his own salvation  will find it in that strange relationship. It is not shared, and so
Tx:13.22  your guilt upon him or share it with him or perceive his own, you  will feel guilty. Nor will you find satisfaction and peace with him,
Tx:13.22  or share it with him or perceive his own, you will feel guilty. Nor  will you find satisfaction and peace with him, because your union
Tx:13.22  and peace with him, because your union with him is not real. You  will see guilt in that relationship because you put it there. It is
Tx:13.22  you put it there. It is inevitable that those who suffer guilt  will attempt to displace it, because they do believe in it. Yet,
Tx:13.22  it, because they do believe in it. Yet, though they suffer, they  will not look within and let it go. They cannot know they love and
Tx:13.24  past, but with each one each day be born again. A minute, even less,  will be enough to free you from the past and give your mind in peace
Tx:13.24  to you as you would have yourself be welcome to your Father, you  will see no guilt in you. For you will have accepted the Atonement,
Tx:13.24  be welcome to your Father, you will see no guilt in you. For you  will have accepted the Atonement, which shone within you all the
Tx:13.25  that guilt is justified in any way in anyone whatever he may do, you  will not look within, where you would always find Atonement. The end
Tx:13.25  look within, where you would always find Atonement. The end of guilt  will never come as long as you believe there is a reason for it. For
Tx:13.27 Now it is given you to heal and teach, to make what  will be now. As yet it is not now. The Son of God believes that he is
Tx:13.27  without. When he has looked within and seen the radiance there, he  will remember how much his Father loves him. And it will seem
Tx:13.27  there, he will remember how much his Father loves him. And it  will seem incredible that he has ever thought his Father loved him
Tx:13.27  guilt is insane, wholly unjustified, and wholly without reason, you  will not fear to look upon the Atonement and accept it wholly.
Tx:13.28  dims your vision, and look past darkness to the holy place where you  will see the light. The altar to your Father is as pure as He Who
Tx:13.28  Nothing can keep from you what Christ would have you see. His  Will is like His Father's, and He offers mercy to every Child of God,
Tx:13.30  no love apart from His. Until you recognize that this is true, you  will have no idea what love is like. No one who condemns a brother
Tx:13.32  look upon yourself, and gladness and appreciation for what you see  will banish guilt forever. I thank You, Father, for the purity of
Tx:13.33  My trust in you is without limit and without the fear that you  will hear me not. I thank the Father for your loveliness and for the
Tx:13.33  thank the Father for your loveliness and for the many gifts that you  will let me offer to the Kingdom in honor of its wholeness, which is
Tx:13.34  of the Kingdom, guilt melts away and, transformed into kindness,  will never more be what it was. Every reaction that you experience
Tx:13.34  will never more be what it was. Every reaction that you experience  will be so purified that it is fitting as a hymn of praise unto your
Tx:13.34  your Father. See only praise of Him in what He has created, for He  will never cease His praise of you. United in this praise, we stand
Tx:13.34  United in this praise, we stand before the gates of Heaven where we  will surely enter in our blamelessness. God loves you. Could I, then,
Tx:13.36  a war that could endanger freedom. Nothing destructive ever was or  will be. The war, the guilt, the past are gone as one into the
Tx:13.37 When we are all united in Heaven, you  will value nothing that you value here. For nothing that you value
Tx:13.38  The Holy Spirit points quietly to the contrast, knowing that you  will finally let Him judge the difference for you, allowing Him to
Tx:13.38  He has perfect faith in your final judgment because He knows that He  will make it for you. To doubt this would be to doubt that His
Tx:13.38  make it for you. To doubt this would be to doubt that His mission  will be fulfilled. How is this possible, when His mission is of God?
Tx:13.39  to listen to, whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God's  Will is done. You will find the peace in which He has established
Tx:13.39  whatever strange thoughts may occur to you, God's Will is done. You  will find the peace in which He has established you, because He does
Tx:13.40 You  will not remember change and shift in Heaven. You have need of
Tx:13.40  what to avoid and what to seek. When you have learned this, you  will find the answer that makes the need for any differences
Tx:13.40  makes the need for any differences disappear. Truth comes of its own  will unto its own. When you have learned that you belong to truth, it
Tx:13.40  unto its own. When you have learned that you belong to truth, it  will flow lightly over you without a difference of any kind. For you
Tx:13.40  will flow lightly over you without a difference of any kind. For you  will need no contrast to help you realize that this is what you want,
Tx:13.40  that this is what you want, and only this. Fear not the Holy Spirit  will fail in what your Father has given Him to do. The Will of God
Tx:13.40  Holy Spirit will fail in what your Father has given Him to do. The  Will of God can fail in nothing.
Tx:13.41 Have faith in only this one thing, and it  will be sufficient: God wills you be in Heaven, and nothing can keep
Tx:13.41  weird imaginings, your blackest nightmares all mean nothing. They  will not prevail against the peace God wills for you. The Holy Spirit
Tx:13.41  not prevail against the peace God wills for you. The Holy Spirit  will restore your sanity, because insanity is not the Will of God. If
Tx:13.41  Holy Spirit will restore your sanity, because insanity is not the  Will of God. If that suffices Him, it is enough for you. You will not
Tx:13.41  not the Will of God. If that suffices Him, it is enough for you. You  will not keep what God would have removed, because it breaks
Tx:13.41  communication with you with whom He would communicate. His voice  will be heard.
Tx:13.42  reaching out cannot be wholly closed and separated from Him. Peace  will be yours, because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose
Tx:13.42  will be yours, because His peace still flows to you from Him Whose  Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit will teach you how to
Tx:13.42  you from Him Whose Will is peace. You have it now. The Holy Spirit  will teach you how to use it and, by projecting it, to learn that it
Tx:13.43 God willed you Heaven and  will always will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of His
Tx:13.43 God willed you Heaven and will always  will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of His Will. There
Tx:13.43  will always will you nothing else. The Holy Spirit knows only of His  Will. There is no chance that Heaven will not be yours, for God is
Tx:13.43  Holy Spirit knows only of His Will. There is no chance that Heaven  will not be yours, for God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as
Tx:13.43  yours, for God is sure, and what He wills is as sure as He is. You  will learn salvation, because you will learn how to save. It will not
Tx:13.43  He wills is as sure as He is. You will learn salvation, because you  will learn how to save. It will not be possible to exempt yourself
Tx:13.43  is. You will learn salvation, because you will learn how to save. It  will not be possible to exempt yourself from what the Holy Spirit
Tx:13.43  disturbed the Mind of God's sleeping Son holds no power over him. He  will learn the lesson of awaking. God watches over him, and light
Tx:13.44  be glad? He cannot separate himself from what is in him. His sleep  will not withstand the call to wake. The mission of redemption will
Tx:13.44  sleep will not withstand the call to wake. The mission of redemption  will be fulfilled as surely as the creation will remain unchanged
Tx:13.44  mission of redemption will be fulfilled as surely as the creation  will remain unchanged throughout eternity. You do not have to know
Tx:13.44  have to know that Heaven is yours to make it so. It is so. Yet the  Will of God must be accepted as your will to know it.
Tx:13.44  make it so. It is so. Yet the Will of God must be accepted as your  will to know it.
Tx:13.45  kind of reconciliation in His Mind for you, and one which He  will effect as surely as the ego will not effect what it attempts.
Tx:13.45  His Mind for you, and one which He will effect as surely as the ego  will not effect what it attempts.
Tx:13.46  the Holy Spirit offers to everyone for the salvation of everyone  will not be perfectly accomplished. You will be released, and you
Tx:13.46  the salvation of everyone will not be perfectly accomplished. You  will be released, and you will not remember anything you made that
Tx:13.46  will not be perfectly accomplished. You will be released, and you  will not remember anything you made that was not created for you and
Tx:13.49  truth is needed in a world made of denial and without direction. You  will perceive the need for this if you will realize that to deny is
Tx:13.49  and without direction. You will perceive the need for this if you  will realize that to deny is the decision not to know. The logic of
Tx:13.51  and not the truth, that he has chosen to defend and love. They  will not be taken from him. But they can be given up by him, for the
Tx:13.52 Any direction which  will lead you where the Holy Spirit leads you not goes nowhere.
Tx:13.52  neither to see nor do. These are but indirect expressions of the  will to live, which has been blocked by the capricious and unholy
Tx:13.52  be shared. And while you think it possible to learn to do this, you  will not believe all that is possible to learn to do.
Tx:13.53  you chose to deceive yourselves. Those who choose to be deceived  will merely attack direct approaches, which would seem but to
Tx:13.54  to do what you can never do, believing that unless you learn it, you  will not be happy. You do not realize that the foundation on which
Tx:13.55 Have faith in nothing, and you  will find the “treasure” that you sought. Yet you will add another
Tx:13.55  nothing, and you will find the “treasure” that you sought. Yet you  will add another burden to your mind, already burdened or you would
Tx:13.55  mind, already burdened or you would not have sought another. You  will believe that nothing is of value and will value it. A little
Tx:13.55  have sought another. You will believe that nothing is of value and  will value it. A little piece of glass, a speck of dust, a body or a
Tx:13.56  teaching that truth is true. This is the hardest lesson you  will ever learn, and in the end the only one. Simplicity is very
Tx:13.58  faith in nothing is deceiving you. Offer your faith to Me, and I  will place it gently in the holy place where it belongs. You will
Tx:13.58  and I will place it gently in the holy place where it belongs. You  will find no deception there but only the simple truth. And you will
Tx:13.58  You will find no deception there but only the simple truth. And you  will love it because you will understand it.
Tx:13.58  there but only the simple truth. And you will love it because you  will understand it.
Tx:13.59  is not what you have made, they see in you more than you see. They  will be happy learners of the lesson which this light brings to them
Tx:13.59  chains have disappeared, and so they must have been nothing. And you  will see it with them. Because you taught them gladness and release,
Tx:13.59  see it with them. Because you taught them gladness and release, they  will become your teachers in release and gladness.
Tx:13.60  what seemed hardest was the easiest. Learn to be happy learners. You  will never learn how to make nothing everything. Yet see that this
Tx:13.61  builded there is true and built on truth. The universe of learning  will open up before you in all its gracious simplicity. With truth
Tx:13.61  you in all its gracious simplicity. With truth before you, you  will not look back.
Tx:13.63  and learn of them how to be free of darkness. The light in you  will waken them, and they will not leave you asleep. The vision of
Tx:13.63  to be free of darkness. The light in you will waken them, and they  will not leave you asleep. The vision of Christ is given the very
Tx:13.63  all holy. The quietness of its simplicity is so compelling that you  will realize it is impossible to deny the simple truth. For there is
Tx:13.64 Learning  will be commensurate with motivation, and the interference in your
Tx:13.65  is no conflict here. To wish for guilt in any way, in any form,  will lose appreciation of the value of your guiltlessness and push it
Tx:13.66  if you yield to it, you are deciding against your happiness and  will not learn how to be happy. Say therefore to yourself gently, but
Tx:13.67 What I experience, I  will make manifest. If I am guiltless, I have nothing to fear. I
Tx:13.69  it by holding it against you. Whether he does this or does it not  will make no difference; you will think he does. It is impossible to
Tx:13.69  Whether he does this or does it not will make no difference; you  will think he does. It is impossible to offer what you do not want
Tx:13.70  and would have you teach with Him. It is His joy to teach it, as it  will be yours.
Tx:13.72  in any mind. Remember always that mind is one and cause is one. You  will learn communication with this oneness only when you learn to
Tx:13.73  for yourself, you are thinking destructively, and the decision  will be wrong. It will hurt you because of the concept of decision
Tx:13.73  you are thinking destructively, and the decision will be wrong. It  will hurt you because of the concept of decision which led to it. It
Tx:13.73  Atonement are invulnerable. But those who believe they are guilty  will respond to guilt because they think it is salvation and will not
Tx:13.73  guilty will respond to guilt because they think it is salvation and  will not refuse to see it and side with it. [They believe that
Tx:13.73  [They believe that increasing guilt is self-protection.] And they  will fail to understand the simple fact that what they do not want
Tx:13.74  arises because they do not believe that what they want is good. Yet  will was given them because it is holy and will bring to them all
Tx:13.74  they want is good. Yet will was given them because it is holy and  will bring to them all that they need, coming as naturally as peace
Tx:13.74  as peace that knows no limits. There is nothing their wills  will not provide that offers them anything of value. Yet because they
Tx:13.74  them anything of value. Yet because they do not understand their  will, the Holy Spirit quietly understands it for them and gives them
Tx:13.74  Holy Spirit quietly understands it for them and gives them what they  will without effort, strain, or the impossible burden of deciding
Tx:13.75 It  will never happen that you will have to make decisions for yourself.
Tx:13.75 It will never happen that you  will have to make decisions for yourself. You are not bereft of help,
Tx:13.75  that you alone can offer yourself, when He Who gives you everything  will simply offer it to you? He will never ask what you have done to
Tx:13.75  when He Who gives you everything will simply offer it to you? He  will never ask what you have done to make you worthy of the gift of
Tx:13.78  salvation. He knows the way and leads you gladly on it. With Him you  will not fail to learn what God wills for you is your will. Without
Tx:13.78  With Him you will not fail to learn what God wills for you is your  will. Without His guidance, you will think you know alone and will
Tx:13.78  learn what God wills for you is your will. Without His guidance, you  will think you know alone and will decide against your peace as
Tx:13.78  your will. Without His guidance, you will think you know alone and  will decide against your peace as surely as you made the wrong
Tx:13.78  God gave it for you. He has not forgotten it. Forget Him not, and He  will make every decision for you, for your salvation, and the peace
Tx:13.79  to do so is to evaluate his Father and judge against Him. And you  will feel guilty for this imagined crime, which no one in this world
Tx:13.81  Trust Him to answer quickly, surely, and with love for everyone who  will be touched in any way by the decision. And everyone will be.
Tx:13.81  who will be touched in any way by the decision. And everyone  will be. Would you take unto yourself the sole responsibility for
Tx:13.84 He leadeth me and knows the way, which I know not. Yet He  will never keep from me what He would have me learn. And so I trust
Tx:13.86 When you accept a brother's guiltlessness, you  will see the Atonement in him. For by proclaiming it in him, you make
Tx:13.86  in him. For by proclaiming it in him, you make it yours, and you  will see what you sought. You will not see the symbol of your
Tx:13.86  it in him, you make it yours, and you will see what you sought. You  will not see the symbol of your brother's guiltlessness shining
Tx:13.86  there. His guiltlessness is your Atonement. Grant it to him, and you  will see the truth of what you have acknowledged. Yet truth is
Tx:13.87  this, must you attain with God beside you. For until you do, you  will still think that you are separate from Him. You can feel His
Tx:13.88  mind be undone for you and stand in grace before your Father, He  will give Himself to you as He has always done. Giving Himself is all
Tx:13.89 You  will feel guilty till you learn this. For in the end, whatever form
Tx:13.89  neither did He make them. When you release them, they are gone. God  will not fail nor ever has in anything.
Tx:13.90  blameless Son. For this small gift of appreciation for His Love, God  will Himself exchange your gift for His.
Tx:13.91  the One Who speaks for God and for your function as He knows it. So  will He teach you to remove the awful burden you have laid upon
Tx:13.92  as easy and as right as breathing. There is no effort, and you  will be led as gently as if you were being carried along a quiet path
Tx:13.92  Only your own volition seems to make deciding hard. The Holy Spirit  will not delay at all in answering your every question what to do. He
Tx:13.92  at all in answering your every question what to do. He knows. And He  will tell you and then do it for you. You who are tired might
Tx:14.1 Unless you are guiltless, you cannot know God, Whose  Will is that you know Him. Therefore, you must be guiltless. Yet if
Tx:14.6  and learns it differently. Yet until he teaches it and learns it, he  will suffer the pain of dim awareness that his true function remains
Tx:14.7  of all that God created. Deny them not what is their due, for you  will not withhold it from them alone.
Tx:14.8  given him in his creation. Do not try to steal it from him, or you  will ask for guilt and will experience it. Protect his purity from
Tx:14.8  Do not try to steal it from him, or you will ask for guilt and  will experience it. Protect his purity from every thought that would
Tx:14.8  the Atonement here, and nothing else can unite us in this world. So  will the world of separation slip away and full communication be
Tx:14.11  in peace. No one can be untouched by teaching such as this. You  will not see yourself beyond the power of God if you teach only this.
Tx:14.11  not see yourself beyond the power of God if you teach only this. You  will not be exempt from the effects of this most holy lesson, which
Tx:14.11  creation. From everyone whom you accord release from guilt, you  will inevitably learn your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no
Tx:14.11  learn your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no end. And you  will find ever-increasing confidence in your safe inclusion in what
Tx:14.15  or for redemption. If you bring him into the circle of purity, you  will rest there with him. If you leave him without, you join him
Tx:14.17  in which nothing is hidden and therefore nothing is fearful. Attack  will always yield to love if it is brought to love, not hidden from
Tx:14.17  not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the light of love  will not dispel, unless it is concealed from love's beneficence. What
Tx:14.18  they keep obscure is fearful. But let them go, and what was fearful  will be so no longer. Without protection of obscurity, only the light
Tx:14.21  would release you. Leave what you would communicate to Him. He  will interpret it to you with perfect clarity, for He knows with Whom
Tx:14.22  your Interpreter perceives the meaning in your alien language. He  will not attempt to communicate the meaningless. But He will separate
Tx:14.22  language. He will not attempt to communicate the meaningless. But He  will separate out all that has meaning, dropping off the rest and
Tx:14.23  it. Therefore, keep no source of interference from His sight, for He  will not attack your sentinels. But bring them to Him, and let His
Tx:14.27  to the desirable; what you do not want to what you do. You  will realize that salvation must come to you this way if you consider
Tx:14.28  fact of their complete incompatibility is instantly apparent. One  will go because the other is seen in the same place. Light cannot
Tx:14.28  Light cannot enter darkness when a mind believes in darkness and  will not let it go. Truth does not struggle against ignorance, and
Tx:14.29  the small extent of believing that if He asks it, you can do it. You  will see how easily all that He asks can be accomplished.
Tx:14.30  both of you together look on them. His judgment must prevail, and He  will give it to you as you join your perception to His. Joining with
Tx:14.31  that nothing you see means anything alone. Seeing with Him  will show you that all meaning, including yours, comes not from
Tx:14.31  shares with you. The single vision which the Holy Spirit offers you  will bring this oneness to your mind with clarity and brightness so
Tx:14.31  the world not to accept what God would have you have. Behold your  will, accepting it as His, with all His love as yours. All honor to
Tx:14.33  otherwise, great or small, however much or little valued, He  will replace with the one promise given unto Him to lay upon the
Tx:14.33  And nothing brought there that is not equally worthy of both but  will be replaced by gifts wholly acceptable to Father and to Son. Can
Tx:14.35  you can only be brought together by the Guide appointed for you. He  will surely lead you to where God and His Son await your recognition.
Tx:14.36 There is no substitute for truth. And truth  will make this plain to you as you are brought into the place where
Tx:14.37  all of creation and with its One Creator. And Heaven remains the  Will of God for you. Lay no gifts other than this upon your altars,
Tx:14.37  together with the gift of God, and only what is worthy of the Father  will be accepted by the Son, for whom it was intended. To whom God
Tx:14.37  intended. To whom God gives Himself, He is given. Your little gifts  will vanish on the altar where He has placed His Own.
Tx:14.39  This cannot be undone. Undoing is for unreality. And this reality  will do for you.
Tx:14.40  Atonement is so gentle you need but whisper to it, and all its power  will rush to your assistance and support. You are not frail with God
Tx:14.41  quietly for the return of them that love it. The Presence knows they  will return to purity and to grace. The graciousness of God will take
Tx:14.41  they will return to purity and to grace. The graciousness of God  will take them gently in and cover all their sense of pain and loss
Tx:14.41  the immortal assurance of their Father's Love. There, fear of death  will be replaced with joy of living. For God is Life, and they abide
Tx:14.42  of all the images of hidden darkness you have drawn upon it. God  will shine upon it of Himself. Only the clear reflection of Himself
Tx:14.44  The image of holiness which shines in your mind is not obscure and  will not change. Its meaning to those who look upon it is not
Tx:14.46  time and touch it, with the help of its reflection in you. And you  will turn from time to holiness as surely as the reflection of
Tx:14.50  [Therefore, it is not your function, but the Holy Spirit's.] It  will seem difficult for you to learn that you have no basis at all
Tx:14.53  ego, if the form is acceptable, the content must be. Otherwise, it  will attack the form. You who believe you understand something of the
Tx:14.57  must give it because of what you are. Long ago we said this course  will teach you what you are, restoring to you your identity. We have
Tx:14.57  it. By supplying your identity wherever it is not recognized, you  will recognize it. And God Himself, Who wills to be with His Son
Tx:14.57  recognize it. And God Himself, Who wills to be with His Son forever,  will bless each recognition of His Son with all the love He holds for
Tx:14.57  each recognition of His Son with all the love He holds for him. Nor  will the power of all His love be absent from any miracle you offer
Tx:14.62  take. Every dark lesson that you bring to Him Who teaches light He  will accept from you because you do not want it. And He will gladly
Tx:14.62  light He will accept from you because you do not want it. And He  will gladly exchange each one for the bright lesson He has learned
Tx:14.63  absence of perfect peace means but one thing: you think you do not  will for God's Son what His Father wills for him. Every dark lesson
Tx:14.63  form or another. And each bright lesson, with which the Holy Spirit  will replace the dark ones you do not accept and hide, teaches you
Tx:14.63  the dark ones you do not accept and hide, teaches you that you  will with the Father unto His Son.

Tx:14.71 God's Son  will always be indivisible. As we are held as one in God, so do we

Tx:14.73  peace they want and nothing else. Whenever you think you know, peace  will depart from you because you have abandoned the Teacher of Peace.
Tx:14.73  of Peace. Whenever you fully realize that you know not, peace  will return, for you will have invited Him to do so by abandoning the
Tx:14.73  you fully realize that you know not, peace will return, for you  will have invited Him to do so by abandoning the ego on behalf of
Tx:14.73  ego for anything. It is only this that you need do. The Holy Spirit  will, of Himself, fill every mind that so makes room for Him.

Tx:14.74  Teacher of peace will never abandon you. You can desert Him, but He  will never reciprocate, for His faith in you is His understanding. It
Tx:14.74  lies His holiness, which He cannot abandon, for it is not His  Will to do so. With your perfection ever in His sight, He gives the
Tx:14.74  the need for peace and who would have it. Make way for peace, and it  will come. For understanding is in you, and from it peace must come.
Tx:14.75  it is impossible to know Him. Yet see the mighty works that He  will do through you, and you must be convinced you did them through
Tx:14.75  so powerful they could not be of you. Leave room for Him, and you  will find yourself so filled with power that nothing will prevail
Tx:14.75  Him, and you will find yourself so filled with power that nothing  will prevail against your peace. And this will be the test by which

Tx:15.7  who considers himself as deserving hell can believe that punishment  will end in peace.
Tx:15.10  From this holy instant wherein holiness was born again, you  will go forth in time without fear and with no sense of change with

Tx:15.11  holy instant in which you see yourself as bright with freedom, you  will remember God. For remembering Him is to remember freedom.
Tx:15.13 You  will never give this holy instant to the Holy Spirit on behalf of

Tx:15.17  be concerned with time and fear not the instant of holiness which  will remove all fear. For the instant of peace is eternal because it
Tx:15.17  instant of peace is eternal because it is wholly without fear. It  will come, being the lesson God gives you through the Teacher He has
Tx:15.18  God would have you? For you are where you have forever been and  will forever be. All that you have, you have forever. The blessed
Tx:15.18  do not perceive the Source of strength. In the holy instant, you  will unchain all your brothers and refuse to support either their
Tx:15.19  whether they support the ego or the Holy Spirit in you. And you  will know which you have chosen by their reactions. A Son of God who

Tx:15.19  because the witness to Him will speak so clearly of Him that you  will hear and understand.
Tx:15.20 You  will doubt until you hear one witness whom you have wholly released
Tx:15.20  whom you have wholly released through the Holy Spirit. And then you  will doubt no more. The holy instant has not yet happened to you. Yet
Tx:15.20  doubt no more. The holy instant has not yet happened to you. Yet it  will, and you will recognize it with perfect certainty. No gift of
Tx:15.20  The holy instant has not yet happened to you. Yet it will, and you  will recognize it with perfect certainty. No gift of God is
Tx:15.20  other way. You can practice the mechanics of the holy instant and  will learn much from doing so. Yet its shining and glittering
Tx:15.20  much from doing so. Yet its shining and glittering brilliance, which  will literally blind you to this world by its own vision, you cannot
Tx:15.21  to practice your little part in separating out the holy instant. You  will receive very specific instructions as you go along. To learn to
Tx:15.21  to begin to experience yourself as not separate. Fear not that you  will not be given help in this. God's Teacher and His lesson will
Tx:15.21  you will not be given help in this. God's Teacher and His lesson  will support your strength. It is only your weakness that will depart
Tx:15.21  His lesson will support your strength. It is only your weakness that  will depart from you in this practice, for it is the practice of the
Tx:15.21  of the power of God in you. Use it but for one instant, and you  will never deny it again. Who can deny the Presence of what the
Tx:15.22  When you strive for anything in this world with the belief that it  will bring you peace, you are belittling yourself and blinding
Tx:15.22  glory are the choices open to your striving and your vigilance. You  will always choose one at the expense of the other.
Tx:15.23  choice is your evaluation of yourself. Choose littleness and you  will not have peace, for you will have judged yourself unworthy of
Tx:15.23  of yourself. Choose littleness and you will not have peace, for you  will have judged yourself unworthy of it. And whatever you offer as a
Tx:15.23  content you. You are free to try as many as you wish, but all you  will be doing is to delay your homecoming. For you will be content
Tx:15.23  wish, but all you will be doing is to delay your homecoming. For you  will be content only in magnitude, which is your home.
Tx:15.24  and one which you must learn to remember all the time. The lesson  will seem hard at first, but you will learn to love it when you
Tx:15.24  remember all the time. The lesson will seem hard at first, but you  will learn to love it when you realize that it is true and
Tx:15.24  Believe the little can content you, and by limiting yourself, you  will not be satisfied. For your function is not little, and it is
Tx:15.26 The power of God  will support every effort you make on behalf of His dear Son. Search
Tx:15.27  with Him. Every decision you make is for Heaven or for hell and  will bring you awareness of what you decided for. The Holy Spirit can
Tx:15.30  you have given slip into nothingness. Holy Child of God, when  will you learn that only holiness can content you and give you peace?
Tx:15.32 Decide with me, who have decided to abide with you. I  will as my Father wills, knowing His Will is constant and at peace
Tx:15.32  decided to abide with you. I will as my Father wills, knowing His  Will is constant and at peace forever with Itself. You will be
Tx:15.32  knowing His Will is constant and at peace forever with Itself. You  will be content with nothing but His Will. Accept no less,
Tx:15.32  peace forever with Itself. You will be content with nothing but His  Will. Accept no less, remembering that everything I learned is yours.
Tx:15.32  no more can you. When you have learned to accept what you are, you  will make no more gifts to offer to yourselves, for you will know you
Tx:15.32  you are, you will make no more gifts to offer to yourselves, for you  will know you are complete, in need of nothing, and unable to accept
Tx:15.32  need of nothing, and unable to accept anything for yourself. But you  will gladly give, having received. The host of God need not seek to
Tx:15.33  God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace yourself, salvation  will be given you. Yet think not you can substitute your plan for
Tx:15.33  bound, proclaiming together that the Son of God is host to Him. Thus  will we let no one forget what you would remember. And thus will you
Tx:15.33  Thus will we let no one forget what you would remember. And thus  will you remember it.
Tx:15.34  that is in him. For where you would help your brother be, there  will you think you are. Hear not his call for hell and littleness,
Tx:15.35  this means only that you would rather delay the recognition that His  Will is so. The holy instant is this one and every one. The one you
Tx:15.35  it is. Delay it not. For beyond the past and future, in which you  will not find it, it stands in shimmering readiness for your
Tx:15.36  willingness to let all littleness go. The instant in which magnitude  will dawn upon you is but as far away as your desire for it. As long
Tx:15.36  instead, by so much is it far from you. By so much as you want it  will you bring it nearer. Think not that you can find salvation in
Tx:15.36  that you have made for your salvation in exchange for God's. His  will content you, and there is nothing else that can bring you peace.
Tx:15.37  plan of salvation that is apart from Him diminishes the value of His  Will for you in your own minds. And yet it is your mind that is the
Tx:15.38  is the holy altar on which your Father has placed Himself? This you  will recognize in the holy instant in which you willingly and gladly
Tx:15.39  to accept me is the measure of the time in which the holy instant  will be yours. I call to you to make the holy instant yours at once,
Tx:15.40  Do not obscure the simplicity of this reason, for if you do, it  will be only because you prefer not to recognize it and not to let it
Tx:15.42  received with equal willingness, being the acceptance of the single  will that governs all thought.
Tx:15.43  it would not be Atonement if there were no need for Atonement. You  will not be able to accept perfect communication as long as you would
Tx:15.44  all your awareness to the readiness for purity He offers you. Thus  will He make you ready to acknowledge that you are host to God and
Tx:15.49  He can translate them into holiness by removing as much fear as you  will let Him. You can place any relationship under His care and be
Tx:15.49  You can place any relationship under His care and be sure that it  will not result in pain if you offer Him your willingness to have it
Tx:15.52  and them. In the holy instant, you see in each relationship what it  will be when you perceive only the present.
Tx:15.56  in yourself. And this you cannot have while guilt remains. And there  will be guilt as long as you accept the possibility, and cherish it,
Tx:15.62  He offered it to me and I accepted it. Fear not the holy instant  will be denied you, for I denied it not. And through me the Holy
Tx:15.62  it not. And through me the Holy Spirit gave it unto you, as you  will give it. Let no need that you perceive obscure your need of
Tx:15.62  you perceive obscure your need of this. For in the holy instant, you  will recognize the only need the aspects of the Son of God share
Tx:15.62  aspects of the Son of God share equally, and by this recognition you  will join with me in offering what is needed.
Tx:15.63 It is through us that peace  will come. Join me in the idea of peace, for in ideas minds can
Tx:15.63  If you would give yourself as your Father gives His Self, you  will learn to understand Selfhood. And therein is love's meaning
Tx:15.63  the language of communication, which you know perfectly, you  will not remember.
Tx:15.64  brothers to replace it in your awareness. God and the power of God  will take their rightful place in you, and you will experience the
Tx:15.64  and the power of God will take their rightful place in you, and you  will experience the full communication of ideas with ideas. Through
Tx:15.64  of ideas with ideas. Through your ability to do this, you  will learn what you must be, for you will begin to understand what
Tx:15.64  your ability to do this, you will learn what you must be, for you  will begin to understand what your Creator is and what His creation
Tx:15.67  completely in the dark. As we bring it to light, your only question  will be why it was you ever wanted it. You have nothing to lose by
Tx:15.68  intentions. It counsels, therefore, that if you are host to it, it  will enable you to direct the anger that it holds outward, thus
Tx:15.69  let the Holy Spirit judge them truly. For it is certain that, if you  will look at them, you will offer them gladly to Him. What He can
Tx:15.69  them truly. For it is certain that, if you will look at them, you  will offer them gladly to Him. What He can make of them, you do not
Tx:15.69  gladly to Him. What He can make of them, you do not know, but you  will become willing to find out if you are willing, first, to
Tx:15.74  Anger takes many forms, but it cannot long deceive those who  will learn that love brings no guilt at all, and what brings guilt
Tx:15.74  only need the ego has, and as long as you identify with it, guilt  will remain attractive to you.
Tx:15.75  to be with a body is not communication. And if you think it is, you  will feel guilty about communication and will be afraid to hear the
Tx:15.75  And if you think it is, you will feel guilty about communication and  will be afraid to hear the Holy Spirit, recognizing in His voice your
Tx:15.75  alone? It is clearly insane to believe that by communicating you  will be abandoned. And yet you do believe it. For you think that your
Tx:15.75  it. For you think that your minds must be kept private or you  will lose them, and if your bodies are together your minds remain
Tx:15.76  As long as you believe that to be with a body is companionship, you  will be compelled to attempt to keep your brother in his body, held
Tx:15.76  to keep your brother in his body, held there by guilt. And you  will see safety in guilt and danger in communication. For the ego
Tx:15.76  will see safety in guilt and danger in communication. For the ego  will always teach that loneliness is solved by guilt and that
Tx:15.77  communication is damnation that communication is salvation. And He  will do so, for the power of God in Him and you is joined in real
Tx:15.79  which He perceives as clearly as He knows forgiveness is release, He  will teach you to remember that forgiveness is not loss but your
Tx:15.80  You but seek in them what you have thrown away. And through them you  will never learn the value of what you have cast aside but what you
Tx:15.80  need so great. Behold the only need that God and His Son share and  will to meet together. You are not alone in this. The will of your
Tx:15.80  Son share and will to meet together. You are not alone in this. The  will of your creations calls to you to share your will with them.
Tx:15.80  alone in this. The will of your creations calls to you to share your  will with them. Turn, then, in peace from guilt to God and them.
Tx:15.81 Relate only with what  will never leave you and what you can never leave. The loneliness of
Tx:15.81  Fear not to give redemption over to your Redeemer's love. He  will not fail you, for He comes from One Who cannot fail. Accept your
Tx:15.83  He does not understand. And because of the Source of the attempt, it  will succeed. The Holy Spirit asks you to respond as God does, for He
Tx:15.84  by removing every element of disagreement, to join them into one. He  will do this because it is His function. Leave, then, what seems to
Tx:15.84  be impossible to Him Who knows it must be possible because it is the  Will of God. And let Him Whose teaching is only of God teach you the
Tx:15.85  it is needful for you to learn just what this shift entails, so you  will become willing to make it permanent. Given this willingness, it
Tx:15.85  will become willing to make it permanent. Given this willingness, it  will not leave you, for it is permanent. For once you have accepted
Tx:15.85  it is the only step in it He understands. Therefore, in this there  will be no delay when you are ready for it. God is ready now, but you
Tx:15.86  be unlimited in order to have meaning, and deprived of meaning, it  will not satisfy you completely. Yet it remains the only means by
Tx:15.87  a body for its purposes, and while you think it has a purpose, you  will choose to utilize the means by which it tries to turn its
Tx:15.87  by which it tries to turn its purpose into accomplishment. This  will never be accomplished. Yet you have surely recognized that the
Tx:15.87  recognized that the ego, whose goals are altogether unattainable,  will strive for them with all its might and will do so with the
Tx:15.87  altogether unattainable, will strive for them with all its might and  will do so with the strength which you have given it.
Tx:15.88  ineffectual. Limit your vision of a brother to his body, which you  will do as long as you would not release him from it, and you have
Tx:15.89  speak of this and long remain willing to linger here. For it is your  will to be in Heaven, where you are complete and quiet in such sure
Tx:15.91  you place no value on it as a means for getting anything, then there  will be no interference in communication, and your thoughts will be
Tx:15.91  there will be no interference in communication, and your thoughts  will be as free as God's. As you let the Holy Spirit teach you how to
Tx:15.91  its use for separation and attack which the ego sees in it, you  will learn you have no need of a body at all. In the holy instant
Tx:15.92  gift I can accept of you is the gift I gave to you. Release me as I  will your release. The time of Christ we celebrate together, for it
Tx:15.93  restored to him. What other gift can you offer me, when only this I  will to offer you? And to see me is to see me in everyone and offer
Tx:15.94  When you are willing to accept our relationship as real, guilt  will hold no attraction for you. For in our union, you will accept
Tx:15.94  real, guilt will hold no attraction for you. For in our union, you  will accept all of our brothers. The gift of union is the only gift
Tx:15.97  is treacherous only to those who think they are its host. The ego  will never let you perceive this, since this recognition would make
Tx:15.97  would make it homeless. For when this recognition dawns clearly, you  will not be deceived by any form the ego takes to protect itself from
Tx:15.98 Each form  will be recognized as but a cover for the one idea that hides behind
Tx:15.99  you and does demand total sacrifice of you. No partial sacrifice  will appease this savage guest, for it is an invader who but seems to
Tx:15.100 You  will not succeed in being partial hostage to the ego, for it keeps no
Tx:15.100  would leave you nothing. [Nor can you be partial host to it.] You  will have to choose between total freedom and total bondage, for
Tx:15.103  for release is total, and when you have accepted it with me, you  will give it with me. All pain and sacrifice and littleness will
Tx:15.103  me, you will give it with me. All pain and sacrifice and littleness  will disappear in our relationship, which is as innocent as our
Tx:15.103  innocent as our relationship with our Father, and as powerful. Pain  will be brought to us and disappear in our presence, and without pain
Tx:15.105 As long as you perceive the body as your reality, so long  will you perceive yourself as lonely and deprived. And so long will
Tx:15.105  long will you perceive yourself as lonely and deprived. And so long  will you also perceive yourself as a victim of sacrifice, justified
Tx:15.107  means of communication. And if you understand this lesson, you  will realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice nothing, and
Tx:15.108  in celebrating peace by demanding no sacrifice of anyone, for so  will you offer me the love I offer you. What can be more joyous than
Tx:15.110 This is the weekend in which a new year  will be born from the time of Christ. I have perfect faith in you to
Tx:15.110  perfect faith in you to do all that you would accomplish. Nothing  will be lacking, and you will make complete and not destroy. Say and
Tx:15.110  do all that you would accomplish. Nothing will be lacking, and you  will make complete and not destroy. Say and understand this:
Tx:15.111 I give you to the Holy Spirit as part of myself. I know that you  will be released, unless I want to use you to imprison myself. In the
Tx:15.111  I want to use you to imprison myself. In the name of my freedom I  will your release, because I recognize that we will be released
Tx:15.111  name of my freedom I will your release, because I recognize that we  will be released together.
Tx:15.112 So  will the year begin in joy and freedom. There is much to do, and we
Tx:15.112  And let all your relationships be made holy for you. This is our  will. Amen.
Tx:16.2  know what empathizing means. Yet of this you may be sure—if you  will merely sit quietly by and let the Holy Spirit relate through
Tx:16.2  sit quietly by and let the Holy Spirit relate through you, you  will empathize with strength and both of you will gain in strength,

Tx:16.3  you do not want anything you value to come of the relationship. You  will neither to hurt it nor to heal it in your own way. You do not
Tx:16.5 True empathy is of Him Who knows what it is. You  will learn His interpretation of it if you let Him use your capacity
Tx:16.5  you let Him use your capacity for strength and not for weakness. He  will not desert you, but be sure that you desert not him. Humility is
Tx:16.5  and accept the fact that He does know. You are not sure that He  will do His part because you have never yet done yours completely.
Tx:16.5  do His part because you have never yet done yours completely. You  will not know how to respond to what you do not understand. Be
Tx:16.6  learner; He the Teacher. Do not confuse your role with His, for this  will never bring peace to anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it
Tx:16.7  thing that would hurt either him or you, for what would hurt one  will hurt the other. Foolish requests are foolish for the simple
Tx:16.7  Holy Spirit recognizes foolish needs as well as real ones. And He  will teach you how to meet both without losing either.
Tx:16.8 You  will attempt to do this only in secrecy. And you will think that, by
Tx:16.8 You will attempt to do this only in secrecy. And you  will think that, by meeting the needs of one, you do not jeopardize
Tx:16.8  That is not the way, for it leads not to light and truth. No needs  will long be left unmet if you leave them all to Him Whose function
Tx:16.8  function is to meet them. That is His function and not yours. He  will not meet them secretly, for He would share everything you give
Tx:16.9  whole Sonship, not for part of it. Leave Him His function, for He  will fulfill it if you but ask Him to enter your relationships and
Tx:16.16 No evidence  will convince you of the truth of what you do not want. Yet your
Tx:16.16  For you have come too near to truth to renounce it now, and you  will yield to its compelling attraction. You can delay this now but
Tx:16.16  The Host of God has called to you, and you have heard. Never again  will you be wholly willing not to listen.
Tx:16.17 This is a year of joy in which your listening  will increase, and peace will grow with its increase. The power of
Tx:16.17  is a year of joy in which your listening will increase, and peace  will grow with its increase. The power of holiness and the weakness
Tx:16.19  to accept this and be glad. For love asks only that you be happy and  will give you everything that makes for happiness. You have never
Tx:16.19  given any problem to the Holy Spirit He has not solved for you, nor  will you ever do so. You have never tried to solve anything yourself
Tx:16.21  have not learned how to accept the comfort of your teaching. If you  will consider what you have taught and how alien it is to what you
Tx:16.21  have taught and how alien it is to what you thought you knew, you  will be compelled to recognize that your Teacher came from beyond
Tx:16.25  you together, keeping one with you what you would exclude. And they  will take the place of what you took in to replace them. They are
Tx:16.27 This year you  will begin to learn and make learning commensurate with teaching. You
Tx:16.27  to teach. Though you seemed to suffer for it, the joy of teaching  will yet be yours. For the joy of teaching is in the learner, who
Tx:16.27  you learn, your gratitude to your Self, Who teaches you what He is,  will grow and help you honor Him. And you will learn His power and
Tx:16.27  teaches you what He is, will grow and help you honor Him. And you  will learn His power and strength and purity, and love Him as His
Tx:16.28  powerfully supplemented by the strength of Heaven and by the united  will of all who make Heaven what it is, being joined within it. And
Tx:16.29  the attraction of those who stand on the other side and wait for you  will not draw you safely across. For you will come where you would be
Tx:16.29  other side and wait for you will not draw you safely across. For you  will come where you would be and where your Self awaits you.
Tx:16.30  solely to offset the hate but not to let it go. Your salvation  will rise clearly before your open eyes as you look on this. You
Tx:16.30  look on this. You cannot limit hate. The special love relationship  will not offset it but will merely drive it underground and out of
Tx:16.30  limit hate. The special love relationship will not offset it but  will merely drive it underground and out of sight. It is essential to
Tx:16.30  that lies in this you do not realize. And until you do, the split  will remain unrecognized and therefore unhealed.
Tx:16.31  and the symbol of love is without meaning if love is everything. You  will go through this last undoing quite unharmed and will at last
Tx:16.31  everything. You will go through this last undoing quite unharmed and  will at last emerge as yourself. This is the last step in the
Tx:16.31  readiness for God. Be not unwilling now. You are too near, and you  will cross the bridge in perfect safety, translated quietly from war
Tx:16.31  translated quietly from war to peace. For the illusion of love  will never satisfy, but its reality, which awaits you on the other
Tx:16.31  never satisfy, but its reality, which awaits you on the other side,  will give you everything.
Tx:16.34  both illusions. As long as the illusion of hatred lasts, so long  will love be an illusion to you. And then the only choice which
Tx:16.35  that you perceive hatred within and are afraid of it. Yet peace  will never come from the illusion of love, but only from its reality.
Tx:16.38 Across the bridge is your completion, for you  will be wholly in God, willing for nothing special but only to be
Tx:16.39  must lead to knowledge, for it was built with God beside you and  will lead you straight to Him, where your completion rests wholly
Tx:16.41  all illusions now, and let nothing stand in the way of truth. We  will take the last foolish journey away from truth together, and then

Tx:16.56  between truth and illusion, God and fantasy. Remember this and you  will have no difficulty in perceiving the decision as just what it is
Tx:16.58  easiest decision that ever confronted you and also the only one. You  will cross the bridge into reality simply because you will recognize
Tx:16.58  only one. You will cross the bridge into reality simply because you  will recognize that God is on the other side and nothing at all is

Tx:17.40  you thought was real and nothing more. For beyond this picture, you  will see nothing.
Tx:17.42 As God ascends into His rightful place and you to yours, you  will experience again the meaning of relationship and know it to be

Tx:17.50  for it will seem at times to have no purpose. A sense of aimlessness  will come to haunt you and to remind you of all the ways you once
Tx:17.51  far more familiar than you now believe. Is it not certain that you  will remember a goal unchanged throughout eternity? For you have
Tx:17.52  holy instant, and they have joined with you. Think not your choice  will leave you comfortless, for God Himself has blessed your holy
Tx:17.55  Here is the goal, together with you. Think you not the goal itself  will gladly arrange the means for its accomplishment? It is just this
Tx:17.56 Yet the goal is fixed, firm, and unalterable, and the means  will surely fall in place because the goal is sure. And you will
Tx:17.56  means will surely fall in place because the goal is sure. And you  will share the gladness of the Sonship that it is so. As you begin to
Tx:17.56  and accept the gifts you have so freely given to each other, you  will also accept the effects of the holy instant and use them to

Tx:17.62  will play his part in its accomplishment. This is inevitable. No one  will fail in anything. This seems to ask for faith beyond you and
Tx:17.63  any aspect of the situation which seems to be difficult, the ego  will attempt to take this aspect elsewhere and resolve it there. And
Tx:17.63  attempt to take this aspect elsewhere and resolve it there. And it  will seem to be successful, except that this attempt conflicts with
Tx:17.63  conflicts with unity and must obscure the goal of truth. And peace  will not be experienced except in fantasy. Truth has not come because
Tx:17.65 There is no problem in any situation that faith  will not solve. There is no shift in any aspect of the problem but
Tx:17.65  will not solve. There is no shift in any aspect of the problem but  will make solution impossible. For if you shift part of the problem

Tx:18.20  its misery. As its unholiness kept it a thing apart, its holiness  will become an offering to everyone.
Tx:18.21 Your special relationship  will be a means for undoing guilt in everyone blessed through your

Tx:18.21  Through it, the blessing which the Holy Spirit has laid upon it  will be extended. Think not that He has forgotten anyone in the
Tx:18.21  who calls on Him as means for the salvation of everyone. And He  will waken everyone through you who offered your relationship to Him.

Tx:18.25 As the light comes nearer, you  will rush to darkness, shrinking from the truth, sometimes retreating

Tx:19.4  illusions centered on the body to stand between you. And the body  will seem to be sick, for you have made of it an “enemy” of healing

Tx:19.34  the instant that you give it no power over each other. And you  will help each other overcome mistakes by joyously releasing one

Tx:19.37  happiness and the calm awareness of complete protection. And you  will carry its message of love and safety and freedom to everyone who

Tx:19.38  will draw him in and give him rest, as it was given you. All this  will you do. Yet the peace which already lies deeply within must
Tx:19.38  expand and flow across the obstacles you placed before it. This  will you do, for nothing undertaken with the Holy Spirit remains

Tx:19.39  Spirit, but you can see your brothers truly. And the light in them  will show you all that you need to see. When the peace in you has
Tx:19.39  been extended to encompass everyone, the Holy Spirit's function here  will be accomplished. What need is there for seeing then? When God
Tx:19.39  then? When God has taken the last step Himself, the Holy Spirit  will gather all your thanks and gratitude which you have offered Him
Tx:19.39  before His Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And the Father  will accept them in His Name. What need is there of seeing in the

Tx:19.43  wall will fall away so quietly beneath the wings of peace! For peace  will send its messengers from you to all the world. And barriers will

Tx:19.53  only the blameless and the beautiful, the gentle and the kind. They  will be as careful to let no little act of charity, no tiny

Tx:19.57  what you want. While you believe that it can give you pleasure, you  will also believe that it can bring you pain.

Tx:19.63  peace and its going forth but barriers you place between your  will and its accomplishment? You want communion, not the feast of
Tx:19.64  our union, for in your holy relationship, I am there already. We  will surmount all obstacles together, for we stand within the gates
Tx:19.65  the Son of God committed. And in the light of your forgiveness, he  will remember who he is and forget what never was. I ask for your
Tx:19.66  the world the joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the world  will answer. Think of your happiness as everyone offers you witness
Tx:19.67  and release me from punishment for what I have not done. So  will you learn the freedom that I taught by teaching freedom to each
Tx:19.67  Him it is possible that our communion, where we are joined already,  will be the focus of the new perception that will bring light to all
Tx:19.67  we are joined already, will be the focus of the new perception that  will bring light to all the world, contained in you.
Tx:19.68  so am I. And He Who is our home is homeless with us. Is this your  will? Would you forever be a wanderer in search of peace? Would you

Tx:19.69  It has no purpose of itself, but only what is given to it. The body  will seem to be whatever is the means for reaching the goal that you
Tx:19.70 Here is your choice, and it is free. But all that lies in it  will come with it, and what you think you are can never be apart from
Tx:19.70  mistaken in what is faithful. And the correction of your mistake  will give you grounds for faith.
Tx:19.71  and whatever fear directs the body to do is therefore painful. It  will share the pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure
Tx:19.71  will share the pain of all illusions, and the illusion of pleasure  will be the same as pain.
Tx:19.72 Is not this inevitable? Under fear's orders, the body  will pursue guilt, serving its master whose attraction to guilt
Tx:19.74  from you in the belief that for your message of attack and guilt  will someone other than yourself suffer. And even if you suffer, yet
Tx:19.74  other than yourself suffer. And even if you suffer, yet someone else  will suffer more. The great deceiver recognizes that this is not so,
Tx:19.79 This is not arrogance. It is the  Will of God. What is impossible to you who chose His Will as yours?
Tx:19.79  It is the Will of God. What is impossible to you who chose His  Will as yours? What is death to you? Your dedication is not to death
Tx:19.80  and guilt and death, in opposition to life and innocence and to the  Will of God Himself. Where can such opposition lie but in the sick
Tx:19.80  in the funeral procession march not in honor of their Creator, Whose  Will it is they live. They are not following it; they are opposing it.
Tx:19.81  are arrogant. But you who would release him are but honoring the  Will of his Creator. The arrogance of sin, the pride of guilt, the
Tx:19.83  first? The body can but serve your purpose. As you look upon it, so  will it seem to be. Death, were it true, would be the final and
Tx:19.86 The fear of death  will go as its appeal is yielded to love's real attraction. The end
Tx:19.87  you. In its tiny hands, it holds in perfect safety every miracle you  will perform, held out to you. The miracle of life is ageless, born
Tx:19.87  a resting-place by your forgiveness of each other, and see in it the  Will of God. Here is the babe of Bethlehem reborn. And everyone who
Tx:19.87  is the babe of Bethlehem reborn. And everyone who gives him shelter  will follow him, not to the cross, but to the Resurrection and the
Tx:19.91  it, shining with joy because He is in His Father's Love, peace  will lightly brush the veil aside and run to meet Him and to join
Tx:19.95  realize that if you look on this and let the veil be lifted, they  will be gone forever. All of your “friends,” your “protectors,” and
Tx:19.95  forever. All of your “friends,” your “protectors,” and your “home”  will vanish. Nothing that you remember now will you remember.
Tx:19.95  and your “home” will vanish. Nothing that you remember now  will you remember.
Tx:19.96 It seems to you the world  will utterly abandon you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all that
Tx:19.96  will utterly abandon you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all that  will occur is you will leave the world forever. This is the
Tx:19.96  you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all that will occur is you  will leave the world forever. This is the reestablishment of your
Tx:19.96  will leave the world forever. This is the reestablishment of your  will. Look upon it open-eyed and you will nevermore believe that you
Tx:19.96  is the reestablishment of your will. Look upon it open-eyed and you  will nevermore believe that you are at the mercy of things beyond
Tx:19.96  you cannot control, and thoughts that come to you against your  will. It is your will to look on this. No mad desire, no trivial
Tx:19.96  control, and thoughts that come to you against your will. It is your  will to look on this. No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget
Tx:19.96  of fear, nor the cold sweat of seeming death can stand against your  will. For what attracts you from beyond the veil is also deep within
Tx:19.97  brought you here remains with you, and when you raise your eyes, you  will be ready to look on terror with no fear at all. But first lift
Tx:19.98  brother in his heart. Stand you here a while and tremble not. You  will be ready. Let us join together in a holy instant, here in this
Tx:19.98  you. And let us join in faith that He Who brought us here together  will offer you the innocence you need and that you will accept it for
Tx:19.98  us here together will offer you the innocence you need and that you  will accept it for my love and His.
Tx:19.101  way to fear. Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you  will share in madness or in Heaven together. And you will raise your
Tx:19.101  other, for you will share in madness or in Heaven together. And you  will raise your eyes in faith together or not at all.
Tx:19.102  your friend or enemy? Choose which he is, remembering that you  will receive of him according to your choice. He has in him the power
Tx:19.103  when only he can offer it to you? For his redemption, he  will give you yours as surely as God created every living thing and
Tx:19.103  as surely as God created every living thing and loves it. And he  will give it truly, for it will be both offered and received.
Tx:19.103  every living thing and loves it. And he will give it truly, for it  will be both offered and received.
Tx:19.104  withhold it not, for by receiving it you offer it to him. [For he  will receive of you what you received of him.] Redemption has been
Tx:19.105  the holy place of resurrection to which we come again; to which we  will return until redemption is accomplished and received. Think who
Tx:19.107  release from sin here in the garden of seeming agony and death. So  will we prepare together the way unto the resurrection of God's Son
Tx:19.108 Together we  will disappear into the Presence beyond the veil, not to be lost, but
Tx:19.108  And knowing, nothing in the plan God has established for salvation  will be left undone. This is the journey's purpose, without which is
Tx:19.109  would look upon the giver of this gift, for as you look on him, so  will the gift itself appear to be. As he is seen as either the giver
Tx:19.109  be. As he is seen as either the giver of guilt or of salvation, so  will his offering be seen and so received. The crucified give pain
Tx:19.109  of pain. Everyone gives as he receives, but he must choose what it  will be that he receives. And he will recognize his choice by what he
Tx:19.109  but he must choose what it will be that he receives. And he  will recognize his choice by what he gives and what is given him. Nor
Tx:20.4  petals of the lilies you have received and given as your gift, you  will behold each other's face and recognize it. I was a stranger and
Tx:20.4  took me in, not knowing who I was. Yet for your gift of lilies you  will know. In your forgiveness of this stranger, alien to you and yet
Tx:20.6  and give. And every gift it offers depends on what it wants. It  will adorn its chosen home most carefully, making it ready to receive
Tx:20.6  unto its chosen home or those it would attract to it. And there they  will exchange their gifts, offering and receiving what their minds
Tx:20.8  yet the thorns are gone. Look you still closer at them now, and you  will see your altar is no longer what it was.
Tx:20.10  would pick up from time to time and then put by. For if you do, so  will it be to you.
Tx:20.11  carefully prepared for you, and it is ready to receive you now. You  will not see it with the body's eyes. Yet all you need you have.
Tx:20.12  Let us lift up our eyes together, not in fear, but faith. And there  will be no fear in us, for in our vision will be no illusions—only
Tx:20.12  fear, but faith. And there will be no fear in us, for in our vision  will be no illusions—only a pathway to the open door of Heaven, the
Tx:20.13 Would you not have your holy brother lead you there? His innocence  will light your way, offering you its guiding light and sure
Tx:20.13  way. The holiness that leads us is within us, as is our home. So  will we find what we were meant to find by Him Who leads us.
Tx:20.15  through your vision and free to lead you now where he would be. He  will not leave you nor forsake the savior from his pain. And gladly
Tx:20.15  will not leave you nor forsake the savior from his pain. And gladly  will you walk the way of innocence together, singing as you behold
Tx:20.19  constant dangers, alone and frightened, hoping at most that death  will wait a little longer before it overtakes you and you disappear?
Tx:20.22  in him who wandered carelessly into the home of truth, and who  will wander off. He came without a purpose, but he will not remain
Tx:20.22  of truth, and who will wander off. He came without a purpose, but he  will not remain before the shining light the Holy Spirit offered and
Tx:20.26 Such is my  will for both of you and for each of you for one another and for
Tx:20.26  Self. Your gift unto each other has given me the certainty our union  will be soon.
Tx:20.27  lead them to the Father. And where else would they go but where they  will to be? Each of you now will lead the other to the Father as
Tx:20.27  where else would they go but where they will to be? Each of you now  will lead the other to the Father as surely as God created His Son
Tx:20.31 Those who choose freedom  will experience only its results. Their power is of God, and they
Tx:20.31  will experience only its results. Their power is of God, and they  will give it only to what God has given to share with them. Nothing
Tx:20.31  them, for they see only this, sharing their power according to the  Will of God. And thus their freedom is established and maintained. It
Tx:20.33  the part that has been given you to learn. For He Who knows the rest  will see to it without your help. But think not that He does not need
Tx:20.34  all their brothers. Think you when this has been achieved that you  will rest without them? You could no more leave one of them outside
Tx:20.35  accept His plan as the one function that you would fulfill, there  will be nothing else the Holy Spirit will not arrange for you without
Tx:20.35  that you would fulfill, there will be nothing else the Holy Spirit  will not arrange for you without your effort.
Tx:20.36 He  will go before you making straight your path and leaving in your way
Tx:20.36  stones to trip on and no obstacles to bar your way. Nothing you need  will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away
Tx:20.36  Nothing you need will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but  will melt away before you reach it. You need take thought for
Tx:20.36  the only purpose that you would fulfill. As that was given you, so  will its fulfillment be. God's guarantee will hold against all
Tx:20.36  As that was given you, so will its fulfillment be. God's guarantee  will hold against all obstacles, for it rests on certainty and not
Tx:20.38  given you the gifts you give, and through your not forgetting this  will you remember Who gave the gifts to Him to give to you.
Tx:20.39  you cannot even see it? Judge not what is invisible to you or you  will never see it, but wait in patience for its coming. It will be
Tx:20.39  or you will never see it, but wait in patience for its coming. It  will be given you to see your brother's worth when all you want for
Tx:20.39  when all you want for him is peace. And what you want for him, you  will receive.
Tx:20.40  his offering? His worth has been established by his Father, and you  will recognize it as you receive his Father's gift through him. What
Tx:20.40  it as you receive his Father's gift through him. What is in him  will shine so brightly in your grateful vision that you will merely
Tx:20.40  is in him will shine so brightly in your grateful vision that you  will merely love him and be glad. You will not think to judge him,
Tx:20.40  your grateful vision that you will merely love him and be glad. You  will not think to judge him, for who would see the face of Christ and
Tx:20.42  different point in time. It never changes. All that it ever held or  will ever hold is here right now. The past takes nothing from it, and
Tx:20.42  is here right now. The past takes nothing from it, and the future  will add no more. Here, then, is everything. Here is the loveliness
Tx:20.42  end in perfect harmony already. Here is the perfect faith that you  will one day offer to each other already offered you. And here the
Tx:20.42  other already offered you. And here the limitless forgiveness you  will give each other already given; the face of Christ you yet will
Tx:20.42  you will give each other already given; the face of Christ you yet  will look upon already seen.
Tx:20.43  do you. And yet, have faith that He Who sees the gift in both of you  will offer and receive it for you both. And through His vision will
Tx:20.43  you will offer and receive it for you both. And through His vision  will you see it, and through His understanding recognize it and love
Tx:20.50 You cannot make the body the Holy Spirit's temple, and it  will never be the seat of love. It is the home of the idolater and of
Tx:20.51 Idolaters  will always be afraid of love, for nothing so severely threatens them
Tx:20.51  approach. Let love draw near them and overlook the body, as it  will surely do, and they retreat in fear, feeling the seeming firm
Tx:20.54  in reality. The Holy Spirit rests within it in the certainty it  will endure forever. Its firm foundation is eternally upheld by
Tx:20.58  joy. But we have also said the means to meet the Holy Spirit's goal  will come from the same Source as does His purpose. Being so simple
Tx:20.60  frightens you, and not the means. Remember this, for otherwise you  will make the error of believing the means are difficult. Yet how can
Tx:20.65  Attempt to see him not in darkness, for your imaginings about him  will seem real there. You closed your eyes to shut him out. Such was

Tx:20.70  each one to see the body not. And as you look upon each other, you  will see an altar to your Father, holy as Heaven, glowing with
Tx:20.70  and chosen to replace the holy home the Holy Spirit offers, where He  will dwell with you?

Tx:20.72  will stand condemned before you. All that could save you, you  will never see. Your holy relationship, the source of your salvation,

Tx:21.2  tried to crucify him. If you see holiness and hope, you joined the  Will of God to set him free. There is no choice that lies between
Tx:21.2  There is no choice that lies between these two decisions. And you  will see the witness to the choice you made and learn from this to
Tx:21.4  lies and which way leads to darkness, which to light. Judgment  will always give you false directions, but vision shows you where to
Tx:21.5  Your question is whether the means by which this course is learned  will bring to you the joy it promises. If you believed it would, the
Tx:21.7  that they have. Listen and try to think if you remember what we  will speak of now.
Tx:21.11  not the body. You know the ancient song and know it well. Nothing  will ever be as dear to you as is this ancient hymn [of love] the Son
Tx:21.12  Creator gives praise to them as well. The blindness which they made  will not withstand the memory of this song. And they will look upon
Tx:21.12  which they made will not withstand the memory of this song. And they  will look upon the vision of the Son of God, remembering who he is
Tx:21.13  yes, but not ambiguous. And if you choose against it now, it  will not be because it is obscure, but rather that this little cost
Tx:21.16  but that you have been mistaken, and all effects of your mistakes  will disappear.
Tx:21.19  it saw was true. You did this to yourself. See only this, and you  will also see how circular the reasoning on which your “seeing”
Tx:21.19  be replaced with truth. And as you look upon the change in him, it  will be given you to see it in yourself.
Tx:21.20  is possible that things should happen to the Son of God without his  will and thus without the Will of his Creator, Whose Will cannot be
Tx:21.20  happen to the Son of God without his will and thus without the  Will of his Creator, Whose Will cannot be separate from his own.
Tx:21.20  God without his will and thus without the Will of his Creator, Whose  Will cannot be separate from his own.
Tx:21.21 This is the Son of God's replacement for his  will, a mad revolt against what must forever be. This is the
Tx:21.22  should be, you have set up your idols to something else. This other  will, which seems to tell you what must happen, you gave reality. And
Tx:21.22  asked to do is let it in; only to stop your interference with what  will happen of itself; simply to recognize again the presence of what
Tx:21.24  of a fearful world to justify its purpose. What you desire you  will see. And if its reality is false, you will uphold it by not
Tx:21.24  What you desire you will see. And if its reality is false, you  will uphold it by not realizing all the adjustments you have
Tx:21.30  is so cherished and protected as is a goal the mind accepts. This it  will follow, grimly or happily, but always with faith and with the
Tx:21.31  he believes he is in chains. And when he is released from them, it  will be simply because he no longer believes in them, withdrawing
Tx:21.32  And when you have accepted them completely instead of yours, you  will have need of them no longer. For faith and vision and belief are
Tx:21.34  that the vision of a holy relationship is all you want to see. Then  will you give your faith to holiness, desiring and believing in it
Tx:21.37  nothing. He makes no bargains. And if you seek to limit Him, you  will hate Him because you are afraid. The gift that He has given you
Tx:21.41 The Holy Spirit  will never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He will correct, but
Tx:21.41 The Holy Spirit will never teach you that you are sinful. Errors He  will correct, but this makes no one fearful. You are indeed afraid to
Tx:21.42  the ego tells you not to look inward, for if you do, your eyes  will light on sin, and God will strike you blind. This you believe,
Tx:21.42  to look inward, for if you do, your eyes will light on sin, and God  will strike you blind. This you believe, and so you do not look. Yet
Tx:21.50  ego says and see what it directs you see, and it is sure that you  will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You will
Tx:21.50  sure that you will see yourself as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You  will experience depression, a sense of worthlessness, and feelings of
Tx:21.50  of worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality. You  will believe that you are helpless prey to forces far beyond your own
Tx:21.50  far beyond your own control and far more powerful than you. And you  will think the world you made directs your destiny. For this will be
Tx:21.50  And you will think the world you made directs your destiny. For this  will be your faith. But never believe because it is your faith it
Tx:21.51  awaiting but your choice. And if you place your faith in them, you  will perceive another Self in you. This other Self sees miracles as
Tx:21.52  may arise in it, but if the basic question stems from reason, it  will not ask it. Like all that stems from reason, the basic question
Tx:21.53  plan for your salvation could not have been established without your  will and your consent. It must have been accepted by the Son of God,
Tx:21.53  him he must receive. For God wills not apart from him, nor does the  Will of God wait upon time to be accomplished. Therefore, what joined
Tx:21.53  of God wait upon time to be accomplished. Therefore, what joined the  Will of God must be in you now, being eternal. You must have set
Tx:21.53  not the ego's “reasoning.” Its alien nature to the ego is proof you  will not find the answer there. Yet if it must be so, it must exist.
Tx:21.54  He has no Thoughts except the Self-extending, and in this your  will must be included. Thus, there must be a part of you that knows
Tx:21.54  must be included. Thus, there must be a part of you that knows His  Will and shares it. It is not meaningful to ask if what must be is
Tx:21.55  knowledge threatens dissociation as much as all of it. And all of it  will come with any part. Here is the part you can accept. What reason
Tx:21.57 The part of mind where reason lies was dedicated by your  will in union with your Father's to the undoing of insanity. Here was
Tx:21.58  belief have shifted, and you have asked the question which the ego  will never ask. Does not your reason tell you now the question must
Tx:21.59  correction. It does not value them, but their correction. Reason  will also tell you when you think you sin, you call for help. Yet if
Tx:21.59  also tell you when you think you sin, you call for help. Yet if you  will not accept the help you call for, you will not believe that it
Tx:21.59  call for help. Yet if you will not accept the help you call for, you  will not believe that it is yours to give. And so you will not give
Tx:21.59  call for, you will not believe that it is yours to give. And so you  will not give it, thus maintaining the belief. For uncorrected error
Tx:21.59  and to your brother. And if he shares this same belief, you both  will think that you are damned. This you could spare him and
Tx:21.62  takes the place of madness quietly, replacing madness if it be the  will of the insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their
Tx:21.62  will of the insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their  will. For they believe they see the body and let their madness tell
Tx:21.62  of this. And if you would defend the body against your reason, you  will not understand the body or yourself.
Tx:21.64  and without a hope of safe return. You teach him this, and you  will learn of him exactly what you taught. For you can teach him only
Tx:21.64  unless it disagrees with what you hold more dear than truth? Reason  will tell you that this fact is your release. Neither your brother
Tx:21.65  steadily away from madness toward the goal of truth. And here you  will lay down the burden of denying truth. This is the burden that is
Tx:21.68  as one. And as his gratitude goes out to you who blessed him, reason  will tell you that it cannot be you stand apart from blessing. The
Tx:21.71  alone and not communicating, fearful the power of the Son of God  will strike them dead and raising up their helplessness against him.
Tx:21.73  what is not there. Yes, it can dream it found an enemy, but this  will shift even as it attacks, so that it runs at once to find
Tx:21.74  should he try. For if he focuses on what he cannot understand, he  will but emphasize his helplessness and let sin tell him that his
Tx:21.78  it must be answered and is answered in the other three. And then it  will be clear to you that, as you look on the effects of sin in any
Tx:21.80  without an enemy in which you are not helpless, the means to see it  will be given you.
Tx:21.81 Why is the final question so important? Reason  will tell you why. It is the same as are the other three except in
Tx:21.84  proof that he is wrong who sees himself as helpless. Desire what you  will, and you will look on it and think it real. No thought but has
Tx:21.84  is wrong who sees himself as helpless. Desire what you will, and you  will look on it and think it real. No thought but has the power to
Tx:21.88 Reason  will tell you that you cannot ask for happiness inconstantly. For if
Tx:21.88  it. He may be wrong in what he asks, where, and of what. Yet he  will ask because desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one
Tx:21.88  desire is a request, an asking for, and made by one whom God Himself  will never fail to answer. God has already given him all that he
Tx:21.89 You who complete God's  Will and are His happiness, whose will is powerful as His, a power
Tx:21.89 You who complete God's Will and are His happiness, whose  will is powerful as His, a power that is not lost in your illusions,
Tx:21.90  future now, for time is powerless because of your desire for what  will never change. For you have asked that nothing stand between the
Tx:22.5  hate the one He loves, then you and your Creator have a different  will. Yet if you are his will, what you must then believe is that you
Tx:22.5  then you and your Creator have a different will. Yet if you are his  will, what you must then believe is that you are not yourself. You
Tx:22.8 What could be secret from God's  Will? Yet you believe that you have secrets. What could your secrets
Tx:22.8  that you have secrets. What could your secrets be except another  will that is your own, apart from His? Reason would tell you that
Tx:22.9  was given you, along with everything that you can understand. You  will perceive no difficulty in understanding what this vision tells
Tx:22.9  only what he thinks he is. And what your sight would show you, you  will understand because it is the truth. Only your vision can convey
Tx:22.9  be interpreted to you. What needs interpretation must be alien. Nor  will it ever be made understandable by an interpreter you cannot
Tx:22.10  he sees are stable yet. But what he hears and does not understand  will be his native tongue, through which he will communicate with
Tx:22.10  and does not understand will be his native tongue, through which he  will communicate with those around him, and they with him. And the
Tx:22.10  and they with him. And the strange, shifting ones he sees about him  will become to him his comforters, and he will recognize his home and
Tx:22.10  ones he sees about him will become to him his comforters, and he  will recognize his home and see them there with him.
Tx:22.11  rebirth. Yet in this infant is your vision returned to you, and he  will speak the language both of you can understand. He is not
Tx:22.12 Think what is given you, my holy brothers. This child  will teach you what you do not understand and make it plain. For his
Tx:22.12  will teach you what you do not understand and make it plain. For his  will be no alien tongue. He will need no interpreter to you, for it
Tx:22.12  understand and make it plain. For his will be no alien tongue. He  will need no interpreter to you, for it was you who taught him what
Tx:22.13  could not do through bodies. What, then, has joined them? Reason  will tell you that they must have seen each other through a vision
Tx:22.15  correct in looking on each other as His chosen home, for here you  will with Him and with His Father. This is your Father's Will for
Tx:22.15  here you will with Him and with His Father. This is your Father's  Will for you, and yours with His. And who is drawn to Christ is drawn
Tx:22.17  difference as joy. Yet to perceive a difference where none exists  will surely fail to make a difference.
Tx:22.19 Reason  will tell you that the only way to escape from misery is to recognize
Tx:22.20 Both reason and the ego  will tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The ego
Tx:22.20  tell you this, but what they make of it is not the same. The ego  will assure you now that it is impossible for you to see no guilt in
Tx:22.20  on this another way, for reason sees the source of an idea as what  will make it true or false. This must be so if the idea is like its
Tx:22.21  purpose be accomplished, they can be used. And through their use  will you gain faith in them. Yet to the ego this must be impossible,
Tx:22.22 Forsake not now each other. For you who are the same  will not decide alone nor differently. Either you give each other
Tx:22.22  or his judge, offering him sanctuary or condemnation. This course  will be believed entirely or not at all. For it is wholly true or
Tx:22.22  true or wholly false and cannot be but partially believed. And you  will either escape from misery entirely or not at all. Reason will
Tx:22.22  you will either escape from misery entirely or not at all. Reason  will tell you that there is no middle ground where you can pause
Tx:22.23  And vision cannot damn, but only bless. Whose function is to save  will save. How he will do it is beyond your understanding, but when
Tx:22.23  damn, but only bless. Whose function is to save will save. How he  will do it is beyond your understanding, but when must be your

Tx:22.25  you unless you still would be apart from your Creator and with a  will opposed to His. For only if you would believe His Son could be
Tx:22.27  on earth. How great the power that lies in it. Time waits upon its  will, and earth will be as it would have it be. Here is no separate
Tx:22.27  great the power that lies in it. Time waits upon its will, and earth  will be as it would have it be. Here is no separate will nor the
Tx:22.27  will, and earth will be as it would have it be. Here is no separate  will nor the desire that anything be separate. Its will has no
Tx:22.27  is no separate will nor the desire that anything be separate. Its  will has no exceptions, and what it wills is true. Every illusion
Tx:22.30  belief you cannot learn this course. Share this belief, and reason  will be unable to see your errors and make way for their correction.
Tx:22.33 Reason  will tell you that the form of error is not what makes it a mistake.
Tx:22.33  by form, having been made to guarantee that nothing else but form  will be perceived.
Tx:22.34 These eyes, made not to see,  will never see. For the idea they represent left not its maker, and
Tx:22.35  not true. It could not be reality, because it can be changed. Reason  will tell you that, if form is not reality, it must be an illusion
Tx:22.37  newly born, must value holiness above all else. Unholy values  will produce confusion, and in awareness. In an unholy relationship,
Tx:22.37  sin. He sees within the other what impels him to sin against his  will. And thus he lays his sins upon the other and is attracted to
Tx:22.38  straight ahead, the way you went before you reached the branch, you  will go nowhere. The whole purpose of coming this far was to decide
Tx:22.38  The whole purpose of coming this far was to decide which branch you  will take now. The way you came no longer matters. It can no longer
Tx:22.39  of Heaven to uphold it cannot be undone. Your way is decided. There  will be nothing you will not be told if you acknowledge this.
Tx:22.39  it cannot be undone. Your way is decided. There will be nothing you  will not be told if you acknowledge this.
Tx:22.40  together, for it is but a veil that stands between you. Either alone  will see it as a solid block, nor realize how thin the drapery that
Tx:22.40  and peace has reached you even here before the veil. Think what  will happen after! The love of Christ will light your faces and shine
Tx:22.40  before the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of Christ  will light your faces and shine from them into a darkened world that
Tx:22.40  a darkened world that needs the light. And from this holy place He  will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You will become His
Tx:22.40  this holy place He will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You  will become His messengers, returning Him unto Himself.
Tx:22.41 Think of the loveliness that you  will see who walk with Him! And think how beautiful will each of you
Tx:22.41  that you will see who walk with Him! And think how beautiful  will each of you look to the other! How happy you will be to be
Tx:22.41  how beautiful will each of you look to the other! How happy you  will be to be together after such a long and lonely journey where you
Tx:22.41  where you walked alone. The gates of Heaven, open now for you,  will you now open to the sorrowful. And none who looks upon the
Tx:22.41  open to the sorrowful. And none who looks upon the Christ in you but  will rejoice. How beautiful the sight you saw beyond the veil which
Tx:22.41  rejoice. How beautiful the sight you saw beyond the veil which you  will bring to light the tired eyes of those as weary now as once you
Tx:22.41  the tired eyes of those as weary now as once you were. How thankful  will they be to see you come among them, offering Christ's
Tx:22.42 Every mistake you make the other  will gently have corrected for you, for in his sight your loveliness
Tx:22.42  is his salvation which he would protect from harm. And each  will be the other's strong protector from everything that seems to
Tx:22.44  out your joined hands and touch this heavy-seeming block, and you  will learn how easily your fingers slip through its nothingness. It
Tx:22.45  that needs defense you do not want, for anything that needs defense  will weaken you.
Tx:22.48  mouse that would attack the universe. How likely is it that it  will succeed? Can it be difficult to disregard its feeble squeaks
Tx:22.48  God created? You are not joined together by this mouse but by the  Will of God. And can a mouse betray whom God has joined?
Tx:22.51  No one but yearns for freedom and tries to find it. Yet he  will seek for it where he believes it is and can be found. He will
Tx:22.51  Yet he will seek for it where he believes it is and can be found. He  will believe it possible of mind or body, and he will make the other
Tx:22.51  can be found. He will believe it possible of mind or body, and he  will make the other serve his choice as means to find it.
Tx:22.53  as is the shift from hate to gratitude before forgiving eyes. You  will be sanctified by one another, using your bodies only to serve
Tx:22.53  by one another, using your bodies only to serve the sinless. And it  will be impossible for you to hate what serves what you would heal.
Tx:22.54  Nothing entrusted to it can be misused, and nothing given it but  will be used. This holy relationship has the power to heal all pain,
Tx:22.54  its form. Neither of you alone can serve at all. Only in your joint  will does healing lie. For here your healing is and here will you
Tx:22.54  your joint will does healing lie. For here your healing is and here  will you accept Atonement. And in your healing is the Sonship healed
Tx:22.56  come to you. The light you bring you do not recognize, and yet you  will remember. Who can deny himself the vision that he brings to
Tx:22.57  you from seeing past it? And what illusion could there be you  will not recognize as a mistake—a shadow through which you walk
Tx:22.57  let nothing interfere with those whose wills are His[. And they  will recognize their wills are His, because they serve His Will] and
Tx:22.58 You  will see your value through each other's eyes, and each one is
Tx:22.58  other, to whom He offers them, and where and when is up to Him. He  will bestow them where they are received and welcomed. He will use
Tx:22.58  to Him. He will bestow them where they are received and welcomed. He  will use every one of them for peace. Nor will one little smile or
Tx:22.58  received and welcomed. He will use every one of them for peace. Nor  will one little smile or willingness to overlook the tiniest mistake
Tx:22.59  cannot use, but offer Him the tiny gifts He can extend forever. He  will take each one and make of it a potent force for peace. He will
Tx:22.59  He will take each one and make of it a potent force for peace. He  will withhold no blessing from it nor limit it in any way. He will
Tx:22.59  He will withhold no blessing from it nor limit it in any way. He  will join to it all the power that God has given Him to make each
Tx:22.60  world. And it is only arrogance that would deny the power of your  will. Think you the Will of God is powerless? Is this humility? You
Tx:22.60  only arrogance that would deny the power of your will. Think you the  Will of God is powerless? Is this humility? You do not see what this
Tx:22.60  God in place, unmovable and solid as a rock. While this remains, so  will it seem to be.
Tx:22.62  recognized this oneness, you would know His power is yours. But you  will not remember this while you believe attack of any kind means
Tx:22.64  function of your holy relationship. For what one thinks the other  will experience with him. What can this mean except your minds are
Tx:22.64  burden on you. For when you have accepted it with gladness, you  will realize that your relationship is a reflection of the union of
Tx:23.1  is therefore the belief in weakness, and what is weak is not the  Will of God. Being opposed to it, it is its “enemy.” And God is
Tx:23.1  opposed to it, it is its “enemy.” And God is feared as an opposing  will.
Tx:23.2 How strange indeed becomes this war against yourself! You  will believe that everything you use for sin can hurt you and become
Tx:23.2  you use for sin can hurt you and become your enemy. And you  will fight against it and try to weaken it because of this; and you
Tx:23.2  will fight against it and try to weaken it because of this; and you  will think that you succeeded and attack again. It is as certain you
Tx:23.2  will think that you succeeded and attack again. It is as certain you  will fear what you attack as it is sure that you will love what you
Tx:23.2  is as certain you will fear what you attack as it is sure that you  will love what you perceive as sinless. He walks in peace who travels
Tx:23.2  him. For love walks with him there, protecting him from fear. And he  will see only the sinless, who can not attack.
Tx:23.5  it and perceive the light of which he is a part. Your innocence  will light the way to his, and so is yours protected and kept in your
Tx:23.6  of you. Look on it lovingly, and see the light of Heaven in it. So  will you come to understand all that is given you. In kind
Tx:23.6  you come to understand all that is given you. In kind forgiveness  will the world sparkle and shine and everything you once thought
Tx:23.6  world sparkle and shine and everything you once thought sinful now  will be reinterpreted as part of Heaven. How beautiful it is to walk
Tx:23.7  is its fixed belief it has an enemy that it must overcome and  will succeed.
Tx:23.8  And God thinks otherwise. This is no war—only the mad belief the  Will of God can be attacked and overthrown. You may identify with
Tx:23.8  and overthrown. You may identify with this belief, but never  will it be more than madness. And fear will reign in madness and will
Tx:23.8  with this belief, but never will it be more than madness. And fear  will reign in madness and will seem to have replaced love there. This
Tx:23.8  will it be more than madness. And fear will reign in madness and  will seem to have replaced love there. This is the conflict's
Tx:23.9 Be certain that it is impossible God and the ego, or yourself and it,  will ever meet. You seem to meet and make your strange alliances on
Tx:23.11  forgotten in the body's life, and if you think you are a body, you  will believe you have forgotten it. Yet truth can never be forgotten
Tx:23.12  them different from each other in the belief the one which conquers  will be true. There is no conflict between them and the truth. Nor
Tx:23.13  But truth is indivisible and far beyond their little reach. You  will remember what you know when you have learned you cannot be in
Tx:23.15  one to be crowned as real, the other vanquished and despised. Here  will the Father never be remembered. Yet no illusion can invade His
Tx:23.26  thus becomes a myth, and vengeance, not forgiveness, is the  Will of God. From where all this begins, there is no sight of help
Tx:23.26  seems to be siding with it to overcome His Son. Think not the ego  will enable you to find escape from what it wants. That is the
Tx:23.30  It holds there is a substitute for love. This is the “magic” that  will cure all of your pain; the missing factor in your madness that
Tx:23.31 Never is your possession made complete. And never  will your brother cease his attack on you for what you stole. Nor
Tx:23.31  will your brother cease his attack on you for what you stole. Nor  will God end His vengeance upon both, for in His madness He must have
Tx:23.38  in their witnessing or their results. Certain it is illusions  will bring fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not for their
Tx:23.40  take not one step in the descent to hell. For having taken one, you  will not recognize the rest for what they are. And they will follow.
Tx:23.40  one, you will not recognize the rest for what they are. And they  will follow. Attack in any form has placed your foot upon the twisted
Tx:23.41  some of the forms attack can take? If it is true attack in any form  will hurt you and will do so just as much as in another form which
Tx:23.41  attack can take? If it is true attack in any form will hurt you and  will do so just as much as in another form which you do recognize,
Tx:23.41  murderer and justify his savagery with smiles as he attacks. Yet he  will suffer and will look on his intent in nightmares where the
Tx:23.41  his savagery with smiles as he attacks. Yet he will suffer and  will look on his intent in nightmares where the smiles are gone and
Tx:23.46  and the fear that haunts the place of death is not apparent, that it  will not return. There is no safety in a battleground. You can look
Tx:23.46  within it, you can find no safety. Not one tree left standing still  will shelter you. Not one illusion of protection stands against the
Tx:23.48  must they be the same and indistinguishable from one another. So  will they be to those who see God's Son a body. For it is not the
Tx:23.50  This is your part—to realize that murder in any form is not your  will. The overlooking of the battleground is now your purpose.
Tx:23.51 Be lifted up and from a higher place look down upon it. From there  will your perspective be quite different. Here in the midst of it, it
Tx:23.52  instead of murder. And God Himself and all the lights of Heaven  will gently lean to you and hold you up. For you have chosen to
Tx:23.54  quiet that no touch of doubt can ever mar your certainty? And that  will last forever?
Tx:24.1  is attained. It is not necessary to tell Him what to do. He  will not fail. Where He can enter, there He is already. And can it be
Tx:24.1  already. And can it be He cannot enter where He wills to be? Peace  will be yours because it is His Will. Can you believe a shadow can
Tx:24.1  enter where He wills to be? Peace will be yours because it is His  Will. Can you believe a shadow can hold back the Will that holds the
Tx:24.1  because it is His Will. Can you believe a shadow can hold back the  Will that holds the universe secure? God does not wait upon illusions
Tx:24.1  seems to drift between them has the power to defeat what is Their  will?
Tx:24.2  value that you hold. Not one can be kept hidden and obscure but it  will jeopardize your learning. No belief is neutral. Every one has
Tx:24.4 Beliefs  will never openly attack each other, because conflicting outcomes are
Tx:24.8  the goal is triumph? And what decision can be made for this that  will not hurt you? Your brother is your friend because his Father
Tx:24.10  in specialness. For each demands the other bow to it against his  will. And God Himself must honor it or suffer vengeance. Every twinge
Tx:24.11  against the truth. For what is specialness but an attack upon the  Will of God? You love your brother not while it is this you would
Tx:24.13  released from limits? You have a function in salvation. Its pursuit  will bring you joy. But the pursuit of specialness must bring you
Tx:24.13  is a goal that would defeat salvation and thus run counter to the  Will of God. To value specialness is to esteem an alien will to which
Tx:24.13  to the Will of God. To value specialness is to esteem an alien  will to which illusions of yourself are dearer than the truth.
Tx:24.16 You can defend your specialness, but never  will you hear the Voice for God beside it. They speak a different
Tx:24.17  specialness and all the sins he held in its defense against himself  will vanish as his mind accepts the truth about himself as it returns
Tx:24.17  returns to take their place. This is the only “cost” of truth: you  will no longer see what never was, nor hear what makes no sound. Is
Tx:24.18  between him and the function of salvation given him for you. Nor  will you change his function, any more than you can change the truth
Tx:24.19 Think of the loveliness that you  will see within yourself when you have looked on him as on a friend.
Tx:24.20  falter now. Just one step more and every vestige of the fear of God  will melt away in love. Your brother's specialness and yours are
Tx:24.25  of all your misery and the awareness that your plan has failed and  will forever fail to bring you peace and joy of any kind? Through
Tx:24.27  it stands, strongly defended with all your puny might against the  Will of God. And thus it stands against yourself; your enemy, not
Tx:24.29  Nothing is safe from its attack, and it is safe from nothing. It  will forever more be unforgiving, for that is what it is—a secret
Tx:24.29  for that is what it is—a secret vow that what God wants for you  will never be and that you will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it
Tx:24.29  a secret vow that what God wants for you will never be and that you  will oppose His Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can ever be
Tx:24.29  what God wants for you will never be and that you will oppose His  Will forever. Nor is it possible the two can ever be the same while
Tx:24.30  for your forgiveness. He would have no separation, like an alien  will, rise between what He wills for you and what you will. They are
Tx:24.30  like an alien will, rise between what He wills for you and what you  will. They are the same, for neither one wills specialness. How could
Tx:24.30  They are the same, for neither one wills specialness. How could they  will the death of love itself? Yet they are powerless to make attack
Tx:24.30  not even death. And God Himself, Who knows that death is not your  will, must say, “Thy will be done” because you think it is.
Tx:24.30  God Himself, Who knows that death is not your will, must say, “Thy  will be done” because you think it is.
Tx:24.31  your brother from the depths of hell, you have forgiven Him Whose  Will it is you rest forever in the arms of peace in perfect safety
Tx:24.33 The slaves of specialness  will yet be free. Such is the Will of God and of His Son. Would God
Tx:24.33 The slaves of specialness will yet be free. Such is the  Will of God and of His Son. Would God condemn Himself to hell and to
Tx:24.33  Son. Would God condemn Himself to hell and to damnation? And do you  will that this be done unto your savior? God calls to you from him to
Tx:24.33  this be done unto your savior? God calls to you from him to join His  Will to save you both from hell. Look on the print of nails upon his
Tx:24.33  His Son and on Himself. Deny them not. They ask of you but that your  will be done. They seek your love that you may love yourself. Love
Tx:24.33  nails are on your hands as well. Forgive your Father. It was not His  Will that you be crucified.
Tx:24.37  in the sense that all illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They  will not stand before it. Yet what comfort has ever been in them that
Tx:24.40  and lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes real, as surely as does  will create. The power of a wish upholds illusions as strongly as
Tx:24.42  beside him, showing him what can be seen and heard and where he  will see nothing and there is no sound to hear.
Tx:24.43 Yet let your specialness direct his way, and you  will follow. And both will walk in danger, each intent, in the dark

Tx:24.48  Christ has no doubt, and from His certainty His quiet comes. He  will exchange His certainty for all your doubts if you agree that He
Tx:24.49  the healing of your sense of sacrifice and fear that what you have  will scatter with the wind and turn to dust. In him is your assurance
Tx:24.49  While he is what he is, you can be sure that God is knowable and  will be known to you. For He could never leave His own creation. And
Tx:24.50  no reality. For what God wills is whole and part of Him because His  Will is One. Nothing alive that is not part of Him, and nothing is
Tx:24.51  And no thought within His Mind is absent from your own. It is His  Will you share His love for you and look upon yourself as lovingly as
Tx:24.52  to be accomplished by the world, by time, and all appearances, you  will not know the Father nor yourself. For you will use the world for
Tx:24.52  all appearances, you will not know the Father nor yourself. For you  will use the world for what is not its purpose and will not escape
Tx:24.52  yourself. For you will use the world for what is not its purpose and  will not escape its laws of violence and death. Yet it is given you
Tx:24.53  obscure the truth in him, for not one law of death you bind him to  will you escape. And not one sin you see in him but keeps you both in
Tx:24.53  And not one sin you see in him but keeps you both in hell. Yet  will his perfect sinlessness release you both, for holiness is quite
Tx:24.55  you want to see, and which you choose is yours to look upon. Yet  will you choose in countless situations and through time which seems
Tx:24.56  begun and needs no end. What never was is not a part of you. Yet you  will think it is until you realize that it is not a part of him who
Tx:24.57  the other choice can offer you. Futility of function not fulfilled  will haunt you while your brother lies asleep, till what has been
Tx:24.58  and give you happiness. And never doubt but that your specialness  will disappear before the Will of God, Who loves each part of Him
Tx:24.58  And never doubt but that your specialness will disappear before the  Will of God, Who loves each part of Him with equal love [and care].
Tx:24.66  shares in its holiness and rests in light as safely as itself. Nor  will that light go out when it is gone. Its holy purpose gave it
Tx:24.69  Its scope does not exceed your own, except to say that what is yours  will come to you when you are ready. Here are the means and purpose
Tx:24.70 Look at yourself, and you  will see a body. Look at this body in a different light, and it looks
Tx:24.72  with a different purpose. The Son of God retains His Father's  Will. The son of man perceives an alien will and wishes it were so.
Tx:24.72  of God retains His Father's Will. The son of man perceives an alien  will and wishes it were so. And thus does his perception serve his
Tx:24.72  choice and use perception for a different purpose. And what you see  will serve that purpose well and prove its own reality to you.
Tx:25.1  come to Him and see Him where they thought their bodies were. Then  will their bodies melt away that they may frame His holiness in them.
Tx:25.4  you to do, since it is He Who does it. And in the doing of it  will you learn the body merely seems to be the means to do it. For
Tx:25.5  you, you are manifest in what you see. Behold the body, and you  will believe that you are there. And every body that you look upon
Tx:25.5  And you must see your brother as yourself. Framed in his body, you  will see your sinfulness wherein you stand condemned. Set in his
Tx:25.6  world you want to live in and the state in which you think your mind  will be content and satisfied. It chooses where you think your safety
Tx:25.8  your understanding in the part of you that shares His Father's  Will. The Holy Spirit links the other part, the tiny mad desire to be
Tx:25.9  purpose still is one with both the Father and the Son, He knows the  Will of God and what you really will. But this is understood by mind
Tx:25.9  the Father and the Son, He knows the Will of God and what you really  will. But this is understood by mind perceived as one, aware that it
Tx:25.12  fancies, always does despair result. And there is no exception, nor  will there ever be. The only value that the past can hold is that you
Tx:25.12  it gave you no rewards that you would want to keep. For only thus  will you be willing to relinquish it and have it gone forever.
Tx:25.14  to uphold pursuit of what has always failed on grounds that it  will suddenly succeed and bring what it has never brought before?
Tx:25.17  instead of it. Yet God has set His masterpiece within a frame that  will endure forever when yours has crumbled into dust. But think you
Tx:25.18 Accept God's frame instead of yours, and you  will see the masterpiece. Look at its loveliness, and understand the
Tx:25.19  understand your brother as his Father's Mind shows him to you. He  will step forth from darkness as you look on him, and you will see
Tx:25.19  to you. He will step forth from darkness as you look on him, and you  will see the dark no more. The darkness touched him not, nor you who
Tx:25.19  but pictures yours. His gentleness becomes your strength, and both  will gladly look within and see the holiness that must be there
Tx:25.20  is yours completed. Not one ray of darkness can be seen by those who  will to make their Father's happiness complete and theirs along with
Tx:25.20  is freely offered to everyone who shares His purpose. It is not His  Will to be alone. And neither is it yours.
Tx:25.21  the Father and the Son alike. Nothing has power over you except His  Will and yours, who but extend His Will. It was for this you were
Tx:25.21  has power over you except His Will and yours, who but extend His  Will. It was for this you were created and your brother with you and
Tx:25.22 You are the same, as God Himself is one and not divided in His  Will. And you must have one purpose, since He gave the same to both
Tx:25.22  must have one purpose, since He gave the same to both of you. His  Will is brought together as you join in will that you be made
Tx:25.22  the same to both of you. His Will is brought together as you join in  will that you be made complete by offering completion to your
Tx:25.23 To the extent to which you value guilt, to that extent  will you perceive a world in which attack is justified. To the extent
Tx:25.23  to which you recognize that guilt is meaningless, to that extent  will you perceive attack cannot be justified. This is in strict
Tx:25.27  The lamps of Heaven are not for it to choose to see them where it  will. If it elects to see them elsewhere from their home, as if they
Tx:25.28  And when he chooses to avail himself of what is given him, then  will he see each situation that he thought before was means to
Tx:25.28  to justify his anger turned to an event which justifies his love. He  will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard before are really
Tx:25.28  that the calls to war he heard before are really calls to peace. He  will perceive that where he gave attack is but another altar where he
Tx:25.28  with equal ease and far more happiness bestow forgiveness. And he  will reinterpret all temptation as just another chance to bring him
Tx:25.31  that he be saved or damned? Forgetting not that what he is to you  will make this choice your future? For you make it now, the instant
Tx:25.31  that in this choice the purpose of the world you see is chosen and  will be justified.
Tx:25.32  is their purpose to behold it and rejoice. Everyone seeks for what  will bring him joy as he defines it. It is not the aim as such that
Tx:25.32  aim is changed. And then the means are chosen once again, as what  will bring rejoicing is defined another way and sought for
Tx:25.33 Perception's basic law could thus be said, “You  will rejoice at what you see because you see it to rejoice.” And
Tx:25.33  you see it to rejoice.” And while you think that suffering and sin  will bring you joy, so long will they be there for you to see.
Tx:25.33  while you think that suffering and sin will bring you joy, so long  will they be there for you to see. Nothing is harmful or beneficent
Tx:25.34  From you can come their rest. From you can rise a world they  will rejoice to look upon and where their hearts are glad. In you
Tx:25.34  guilt and merciless revenge, and every wish to hurt and kill and die  will disappear before the sun you bring.
Tx:25.35  what it would do for you. Your “evil” thoughts that haunt you now  will seem increasingly remote and far away from you. And they go
Tx:25.35  away for recognition and are gone forever. And in the sunlight you  will stand in quiet, in innocence, and wholly unafraid. And from you
Tx:25.35  will stand in quiet, in innocence, and wholly unafraid. And from you  will the rest you found extend, so that your peace can never fall
Tx:25.36  Every leaf that falls is given life in you. Each bird that ever sang  will sing again in you. And every flower that ever bloomed has saved
Tx:25.36  its perfume and its loveliness for you. What aim can supersede the  Will of God and of His Son that Heaven be restored to him for whom it
Tx:25.40  neither have it. So must it remain useless to both. Together, it  will give to each an equal strength to save the other and save
Tx:25.41 It is no sacrifice that he be saved, for by his freedom  will you gain your own. To let his function be fulfilled is but the
Tx:25.41  Heaven or toward hell, but not alone. How beautiful his sinlessness  will be when you perceive it! And how great will be your joy, when he
Tx:25.41  his sinlessness will be when you perceive it! And how great  will be your joy, when he is free to offer you the gift of sight God
Tx:25.41  along with him. And as you see him, so do you define the function he  will have for you until you see him differently and let him be what
Tx:25.42  hell. But in the love he shows himself is God made free to let His  Will be done. In each of you, you see the picture of your own belief
Tx:25.42  In each of you, you see the picture of your own belief in what the  Will of God must be for you. In your forgiveness will you understand
Tx:25.42  belief in what the Will of God must be for you. In your forgiveness  will you understand His love for you; through your attack believe He
Tx:25.42  But forget not this—the role you give to him is given you, and you  will walk the way you pointed out to him because it is your judgment
Tx:25.45  Will you behold your brother? God is glad to have you look on him. He
Tx:25.45  your brother? God is glad to have you look on him. He does not  will your savior be unrecognized by you. Nor does He will that he
Tx:25.45  He does not will your savior be unrecognized by you. Nor does He  will that he remain without the function that He gave to him. Let him
Tx:25.49  and let him understand that he is safe, as he has always been and  will remain in time and in eternity alike. This is the function given
Tx:25.50  The world is safe from love to everyone who thinks sin possible. Nor  will it change. Yet is it possible what God created not should share
Tx:25.51  be the “sinner's” wish for death is just as strong as is God's  Will for life. Nor can the basis of a world He did not make be firm
Tx:25.51  and Heaven are the same? And is it possible that what He did not  will cannot be changed? What is immutable besides His Will? And what
Tx:25.51  He did not will cannot be changed? What is immutable besides His  Will? And what can share Its attributes except Itself? What wish can
Tx:25.51  share Its attributes except Itself? What wish can rise against His  Will and be immutable? If you could realize nothing is changeless but
Tx:25.51  and be immutable? If you could realize nothing is changeless but the  Will of God, this course would not be difficult for you. For it is
Tx:25.56  of God cannot be bound by time nor place nor anything God did not  will. Yet if His Will is seen as madness, then the form of sanity
Tx:25.56  be bound by time nor place nor anything God did not will. Yet if His  Will is seen as madness, then the form of sanity which makes it most
Tx:25.57  this One is given the choice of form most suitable to him; one which  will not attack the world he sees, but enter into it in quietness and
Tx:25.59  you this in the alternative He chose especially for you. It is God's  Will that you remember this and so emerge from deepest mourning into
Tx:25.62  but life is not maintained at any cost. No one can suffer for the  Will of God to be fulfilled. Salvation is His Will because you share
Tx:25.62  one can suffer for the Will of God to be fulfilled. Salvation is His  Will because you share it. Not for you alone but for the Self which
Tx:25.63  For if He did, you would believe He wrested it from you against your  will. And so you would not learn it is your will to be without it.
Tx:25.63  it from you against your will. And so you would not learn it is your  will to be without it. You need not give it to Him wholly willingly,
Tx:25.74  justice asks no more. Of each one does the Holy Spirit ask if he  will be that one, so justice may return to love and there be
Tx:25.75  He may smile on you whose sinlessness He shares. His understanding  will be yours. And so the Holy Spirit's special function has been
Tx:25.77  of God. Let love decide and never fear that you in your unfairness  will deprive yourself of what God's justice has allotted you.
Tx:25.78  that the answer must entail. For if you answer “yes,” it means you  will forgo all values of this world in favor of the peace of Heaven.
Tx:25.78  one sin would you retain. And not one doubt that this is possible  will you hold dear that sin be kept in place. You mean that truth has
Tx:25.80 Be certain any answer to a problem the Holy Spirit solves  will always be one in which no one loses. And this must be true
Tx:25.82  been solved because it has been met with justice. Until it has, it  will recur because it has not yet been solved. The principle that
Tx:25.85  that all your brothers have an equal right to miracles with you, you  will not claim your right to them because you were unjust to one with
Tx:25.85  you were unjust to one with equal rights. Seek to deny, and you  will feel denied. Seek to deprive, and you have been deprived. A
Tx:26.1  part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the world, and you  will see nothing attached to anything beyond itself. All seeming
Tx:26.6  his witness offers on behalf of peace. But judge him not, for you  will hear no song of liberation for yourself nor see what it is given
Tx:26.8  be that you could make his sins reality and sacrifice his Father's  Will for him?
Tx:26.10  problem seems to take. A problem can appear in many forms, and it  will do so while the problem lasts. It serves no purpose to attempt
Tx:26.10  It serves no purpose to attempt to solve it in a special form. It  will recur and then recur again and yet again until it has been
Tx:26.10  again and yet again until it has been answered for all time and  will not rise again in any form. And only then are you released from
Tx:26.14  to see his innocence. Would it be fair to punish him because you  will not look at what is there to see? Each time you keep a problem
Tx:26.15  One is given you to see in him his perfect sinlessness. And you  will ask no sacrifice of him because you could not will he suffer
Tx:26.15  And you will ask no sacrifice of him because you could not  will he suffer loss. The miracle of justice you call forth will rest
Tx:26.15  could not will he suffer loss. The miracle of justice you call forth  will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor will the Holy Spirit be
Tx:26.15  of justice you call forth will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor  will the Holy Spirit be content until it is received by everyone. For
Tx:26.16 Think then how great your own release  will be when you are willing to receive correction for all your
Tx:26.16  you are willing to receive correction for all your problems. You  will not keep one, for pain in any form you will not want. And you
Tx:26.16  all your problems. You will not keep one, for pain in any form you  will not want. And you will see each little hurt resolved before the
Tx:26.16  will not keep one, for pain in any form you will not want. And you  will see each little hurt resolved before the Holy Spirit's gentle
Tx:26.16  is gone. And in its place the love of God can be remembered and  will shine away all memory of sacrifice and loss.
Tx:26.17  anything because He knows that everything that is belongs to Him and  will forever be as He created it. Nothing He loves but must be
Tx:26.17  and barrier that seems to hold the door securely barred and locked  will merely fall away and disappear. For it is not your Father's Will
Tx:26.17  will merely fall away and disappear. For it is not your Father's  Will that you should offer or receive less than He gave when He
Tx:26.21  what is truth to him must be brought to the last comparison that he  will ever make, the last evaluation that will be possible, the final
Tx:26.21  the last comparison that he will ever make, the last evaluation that  will be possible, the final judgment upon this world. It is the
Tx:26.22  same? This difference is the learning goal this course has set. It  will not go beyond this aim. Its only purpose is to teach what is the
Tx:26.29 Where sin once was perceived  will rise a world which will become an altar to the truth, and you
Tx:26.29 Where sin once was perceived will rise a world which  will become an altar to the truth, and you will join the lights of
Tx:26.29  will rise a world which will become an altar to the truth, and you  will join the lights of Heaven there and sing their song of gratitude
Tx:26.29  of gratitude and praise. And as they come to you to be complete, so  will you go with them. For no one hears the song of Heaven and
Tx:26.29  which withholds the wealth of Heaven from you! And how great  will be the joy in Heaven when you join the mighty chorus to the love
Tx:26.30  There are two teachers only, who point in different ways. And you  will go along the way your chosen teacher leads. There are but two
Tx:26.30  you can take while time remains and choice is meaningful. For never  will another road be made except the way to Heaven. You but choose
Tx:26.38  has been so long ago corrected and undone. Can sin withstand the  Will of God? Can it be up to you to see the past and put it in the
Tx:26.39  way along a road long since a memory of time gone by? [This course  will teach you only what is now.] A dreadful instant in a distant
Tx:26.40  He was reborn the instant that he chose to die instead of live. And  will you not forgive him now because he made an error in the past
Tx:26.43  the world that lies at Heaven's gate. There is no hindrance to the  Will of God nor any need that you repeat again a journey that was
Tx:26.44  believe is good and valuable and worth striving for can hurt you and  will do so. Not because it has the power to hurt, but just because
Tx:26.46 Who dwells with shadows is alone indeed, and loneliness is not the  Will of God. Would you allow one shadow to usurp the throne that God
Tx:26.46  to whom they have been given can make sure that you receive them. He  will place them on your throne when you make room for Him on His.
Tx:26.50  they are reversals of the laws of truth. The laws of truth forever  will be true and cannot be reversed, yet can be seen as upside-down.
Tx:26.51  yield with equal ease to what God gave as answer to them all. God's  Will is One. And any wish that seems to go against His Will has no
Tx:26.51  all. God's Will is One. And any wish that seems to go against His  Will has no foundation in the truth.
Tx:26.52  be opposed by its own opposite, as real as it. Then would God's  Will be split in two and all creation be subjected to the laws of two
Tx:26.55  this wish in line with Heaven's state and not in opposition to God's  Will. Although it falls far short of giving you your full
Tx:26.56  this world which death and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer  will creation rise within you to replace the world you see with
Tx:26.56  the instant that the Son of God perceives his wishes and the  Will of God are one.
Tx:26.57 What is the  Will of God? He wills His Son have everything. And this He guaranteed
Tx:26.58  Can uncertainty be what you want? Or is it a mistake about your  will and what you really are? Let us consider what the error is, so
Tx:26.60  source is to invite illusions to be true, without success. For never  will success be possible in trying to deceive the Son of God.
Tx:26.61  is possible, then is God's Son made incomplete and not himself. [Nor  will he know himself nor recognize his will.] He has forsworn his
Tx:26.61  and not himself. [Nor will he know himself nor recognize his  will.] He has forsworn his Father and himself and made them both his
Tx:26.62  the same is different, you but deceive yourself. What God calls one  will be forever one, not separate. His Kingdom is united—thus it
Tx:26.62  not separate. His Kingdom is united—thus it was created, and thus  will it ever be.
Tx:26.63 The miracle but calls your ancient name, which you  will recognize because the truth is in your memory. And to this name,
Tx:26.66  difference among the Sons of God. The unity that specialness denies  will save them all, for what is one can have no specialness. And
Tx:26.67  to everyone, as theirs to you. Call on your brother's name and God  will answer, for on Him you call. Could He refuse to answer when He
Tx:26.68  is that you see an interval between the time when you forgive and  will receive the benefits of trust. This but reflects the little you
Tx:26.70 Salvation is immediate. Unless you so perceive it, you  will be afraid of it, believing that the risk of loss is great
Tx:26.70  is great between the time its purpose is made yours and its effects  will come to you. In this form is the error still obscured that is
Tx:26.72  where you cannot plan. No purpose has been given it as yet, and what  will happen has as yet no cause. Who can predict effects without a
Tx:26.73  Spirit brought to your relationship has in it all effects that you  will see. They can be looked at now. Why wait till they unfold in
Tx:26.74  with sighing and with “reasoning” you do not understand it now but  will some day. And then its meaning will be clear. This is not
Tx:26.74  you do not understand it now but will some day. And then its meaning  will be clear. This is not reason, for it is unjust and clearly hints
Tx:26.77  However much you wish he be condemned, God is in him. And never  will you know He is in you as well, while you attack His chosen home
Tx:26.84  gratitude do God the Father and the Son return to what is Theirs and  will forever be. Now is the Holy Spirit's purpose done. For They have
Tx:26.85  same as different. Confusion is not limited. If it occurs at all, it  will be total. And its presence, in whatever form, will hide Their
Tx:26.85  occurs at all, it will be total. And its presence, in whatever form,  will hide Their Presence. They are known with clarity or not at all.
Tx:26.85  They are known with clarity or not at all. Confused perception  will block knowledge. It is not a question of the size of the
Tx:27.1  a unity of what can never join? Walk you the gentle way, and you  will fear no evil and no shadows in the night. But place no terror
Tx:27.1  in the night. But place no terror symbols on your path, or you  will weave a crown of thorns from which your brother and yourself
Tx:27.1  will weave a crown of thorns from which your brother and yourself  will not escape. You cannot crucify yourself alone. And if you are
Tx:27.2  realize that he has been condemned. And what to you has been unfair  will come to him in righteousness. The unjust vengeance that you
Tx:27.2  Wish not to make yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you  will not escape the death you made for him. But in his innocence, you

Tx:27.16  that separation is without effect. What you would prove to him, you  will believe. The power of witness comes from your belief. And
Tx:27.18  calling of the Father to His Son, and of the Son unto his own,  will yet be the last trumpet that the world will ever hear. Brother,

Tx:27.20  purposeless and wholly without cause. Show him your healing, and he  will consent no more to suffer. For his innocence has been
Tx:27.20  innocence has been established in your sight and his. And laughter  will replace your sighs because God's Son remembered that he is God's
Tx:27.26 In this interpretation of correction, your own mistakes you  will not even see. The focus of correction has been placed outside
Tx:27.27  which the Holy Spirit sees as His. And you can rest assured that He  will not fulfill a function He cannot understand and recognize as
Tx:27.32  the invitation's real appeal. For what you leave as vacant, God  will fill, and where He is, there must the truth abide. Unweakened

Tx:27.47  the world that could be feared. But if you shrink from blessing  will the world indeed seem fearful, for you have withheld its peace
Tx:27.48  left behind on your returning to the world. And being blessed, you  will bring blessing. Life is given you to give the dying world. And

Tx:27.86  you failed to recognize it is your dream. This single lesson learned  will set you free from suffering, whatever form it takes.
Tx:27.87 The Holy Spirit  will repeat this one inclusive lesson of deliverance until it has
Tx:27.87  of suffering that brings you pain. Whatever hurt you bring to Him He  will make answer with this very simple truth. For this one answer

Tx:27.89  is like the rest. He sees no differences where none exist, and He  will teach you how each one is caused. None has a different cause
Tx:27.89  but learn you choose but not to listen, not to see. How differently  will you perceive the world when this is recognized! When you forgive
Tx:27.89  when this is recognized! When you forgive the world your guilt, you  will be free of it. Its innocence does not demand your guilt, nor
Tx:27.90  that they both be true. This is the only secret yet to learn. And it  will be no secret you are healed.

Tx:28.24  produced the dream, and while it lasts, will wakening be feared. Nor  will the call to wakening be heard, because it seems to be the call
Tx:28.26  the body to be victim or effect of what it made. Yet half the lesson  will not teach the whole. The miracle is useless if you learn but
Tx:28.27  is free to make another choice instead. Beginning here, salvation  will proceed to change the course of every step in the descent to
Tx:28.28  concern at present. Here is where we must begin. And having started,  will the way be made serene and simple in the rising up to waking and
Tx:28.28  to one that is already being dreamed. Without support, the dream  will fade away without effects. For it is your support that
Tx:28.33  the shame of [sin] He cannot bridge, for He cannot destroy the alien  will that He created not. Let its effects be gone and clutch them not
Tx:28.33  them not with eager hands, to keep them for yourself. The miracle  will brush them all aside and thus make room for Him Who wills to
Tx:28.35  was seen to stand between you, join your brother there. And sickness  will be seen without a cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness

Tx:28.37  of dreams of pain because you let him be. Unless you help him, you  will suffer pain with him because that is your wish. And you become a
Tx:28.38  to be a part of fearful dreams whatever form they take, for you  will lose identity in them. You find yourself by not accepting them
Tx:28.40  is by not supporting his illusions by your faith, for if you do, you  will have faith in yours. With faith in yours, he will not be
Tx:28.40  for if you do, you will have faith in yours. With faith in yours, he  will not be released, and you are kept in bondage to his dream. And

Tx:28.44  not your brother's evil dream, this is the picture that the miracle  will place within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of
Tx:28.44  clean of all the seeds of sickness and of sin. And here the Father  will receive His Son, because His Son was gracious to himself.
Tx:28.45 I thank you, Father, knowing you  will come to close each little gap that lies between the broken
Tx:28.46  to let illusions go is all the Healer of God's Son requires. He  will place the miracle of healing where the seeds of sickness were.

Tx:28.49 Remember if you share an evil dream, you  will believe you are the dream you share. And fearing it, you will
Tx:28.49  you will believe you are the dream you share. And fearing it, you  will not want to know your own Identity because you think that it is
Tx:28.49  know your own Identity because you think that it is fearful. And you  will deny your Self and walk upon an alien ground which your Creator
Tx:28.49  did not make and where you seem to be a “something” you are not. You  will make war upon your Self, which seems to be your enemy, and will
Tx:28.49  You will make war upon your Self, which seems to be your enemy, and  will attack your brother as a part of what you hate. There is no
Tx:28.53  gap, and you behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that you  will see within yourself when you have lost the fear of recognizing

Tx:28.58 Sickness is anger taken out upon the body, so that it  will suffer pain. It is the obvious effect of what was made in
Tx:28.59  with each one—that you be one with him and not apart. And he  will keep the promise that you make with him because it is the one

Tx:29.6  of when to “love” and when to shrink more safely into fear. It  will be sick because you do not know what loving means. And so you
Tx:29.10  you give up nothing, until you understand there is no loss, you  will have some regrets about the way that you have chosen. And you
Tx:29.10  will have some regrets about the way that you have chosen. And you  will not see the many gains your choice has offered you. Yet though

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

Tx:29.44  or some dream that there is something outside of himself that  will bring happiness and peace to him. If everything is in him, this
Tx:29.45 The lingering illusion  will impel him to seek out a thousand idols and to seek beyond them

Tx:30.14  in a different way from what your version of the question asks  will gain momentum until you believe the day you want is one in which
Tx:30.14  want is one in which you get your answer to your question. And you  will not get it, for it would destroy the day by robbing you of what
Tx:30.20  need, because you do not like the way you feel. This tiny opening  will be enough to let you go ahead with just a few more steps you
Tx:30.21  reached the turning point, because it has occurred to you that you  will gain if what you have decided is not so. Until this point is
Tx:30.21  if what you have decided is not so. Until this point is reached, you  will believe your happiness depends on being right. But this much

Tx:30.27 Thus you now can ask a question that makes sense, and so the answer  will make sense as well. Nor will you fight against it, for you see
Tx:30.27  that makes sense, and so the answer will make sense as well. Nor  will you fight against it, for you see that it is you who will be

Tx:30.29  then, is not coercion but a simple statement of a simple fact. You  will not make decisions by yourself whatever you decide. For they are
Tx:30.29  God. And you ask help of Christ or anti-Christ, and which you choose  will join with you and tell you what to do.

Tx:30.34  that ever should be called by freedom's name. Unless you do your  will, you are not free. And would God leave His Son without what he
Tx:30.34  chosen for himself? God but ensured that you would never lose your  will when He gave you His perfect answer. Hear it now that you may be
Tx:30.34  Hear it now that you may be reminded of His love and learn your  will. God would not have His Son made prisoner to what he does not

Tx:30.38 Idols are quite specific. But your  will is universal, being limitless. And so it has no form nor is
Tx:30.38  Idols are limits. They are the belief that there are forms which  will bring happiness and that, by limiting, is all attained. It is as
Tx:30.38  “I have no need of everything. This little thing I want, and it  will be as everything to me.” And this must fail to satisfy because

Tx:30.39  You do not want an idol. It is not your will to have one. It  will not bestow on you the gift you seek. When you decide upon the
Tx:30.39  you want, you lose the understanding of its purpose. So you see your  will within the idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this

Tx:30.70  that, by responding in a way which is not justified, your pardon  will become the answer to attack that has been made. And thus is
Tx:30.73  you have learned forgiveness is your right as much as his. Nor  will you think that God intends for you a fearful judgment which your
Tx:30.74 Forgiveness recognized as merited  will heal. It gives the miracle its strength to overlook illusions.
Tx:30.74  creation and to make a world which could replace it and destroy the  Will of God. Only if this were possible could there be some
Tx:30.76  but only some of it. You must forgive God's Son entirely. Or you  will keep an image of yourself that is not whole and will remain
Tx:30.76  Or you will keep an image of yourself that is not whole and  will remain afraid to look within and find escape from every idol
Tx:30.78 God's Son is perfect, or he cannot be God's Son. Nor  will you know him if you think he does not merit the escape from

Tx:30.80  statement that there are no forms of evil which can overcome the  Will of God—the glad acknowledgment that guilt has not succeeded by
Tx:30.81 Look on your brother with this hope in you, and you  will understand he could not make an error that could change the
Tx:30.81  what you see as having power to make an idol of the Son of God you  will not pardon. For he has become to you a graven image and a sign
Tx:30.88 Do not interpret out of solitude, for what you see means nothing. It  will shift in what it stands for, and you will believe the world is
Tx:30.88  you see means nothing. It will shift in what it stands for, and you  will believe the world is an uncertain place in which you walk in
Tx:30.89  to see beyond appearances, you are deceived. For everything you see  will change, and yet you thought it real before, and now you think it
Tx:30.93  and offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid of fear. It  will be given you to look upon your brother thus. But not while you
Tx:30.93  no dreams about him which you would prefer to seeing this. And you  will see the Christ in him because you let Him come to you. And when
Tx:30.93  you let Him come to you. And when He has appeared to you, you  will be certain you are like Him, for He is the changeless in your
Tx:30.94 This  will you look upon when you decide there is not one appearance you
Tx:30.94  in him in your sight of him. There is no false appearance but  will fade if you request a miracle instead. There is no pain from
Tx:31.1  All it says is what was never true is not true now and never  will be. The impossible has not occurred and can have no effects. And
Tx:31.3  For your power to learn is strong enough to teach you that your  will is not your own, your thoughts do not belong to you, and even
Tx:31.5  an ability you made and gave yourselves. It was not made to do the  Will of God but to uphold a wish that It could be opposed, and that a
Tx:31.5  of God but to uphold a wish that It could be opposed, and that a  will apart from It was yet more real than It. And this has learning
Tx:31.5  difficult to see, and too opposed to what is really true. Yet you  will learn them, for their learning is the only purpose for your

Tx:31.6  power of His Will is in the Voice that speaks for Him. Which lesson  will you learn? What outcome is inevitable, sure as God, and far

Tx:31.7  happiness in it. There is no plan for safety you can make that ever  will succeed. There is no joy that you can seek for here and hope to
Tx:31.7  the lesson which reflects the love of God is stronger still. And you  will learn God's Son is innocent and see another world.
Tx:31.8  in the selfsame tongue in which the call was made. And you  will understand it was this call that everyone and everything within
Tx:31.9 There is no living thing which does not share the universal  will that it be whole and that you do not leave its call unheard.
Tx:31.10  Who calls to you beyond each form of hate, each call to war. Yet you  will recognize Him as you give Him answer in the language that He
Tx:31.10  Him as you give Him answer in the language that He calls. He  will appear when you have answered Him, and you will know in Him that
Tx:31.10  that He calls. He will appear when you have answered Him, and you  will know in Him that God is Love.

Tx:31.17  What does he ask you for? And listen well! For he is asking what  will come to you because you see an image of yourself and hear your
Tx:31.20  road. He is like us, as near or far away from what we want as we  will let him be. We make no gains he does not make with us, and we
Tx:31.21 Because he is your equal in God's love, you  will be saved from all appearances and answer to the Christ Who calls
Tx:31.22  you ever learned before and put aside all images you made. The old  will fall away before the new without your opposition or intent.
Tx:31.22  fall away before the new without your opposition or intent. There  will be no attack upon the things you thought were precious and in
Tx:31.22  upon the things you thought were precious and in need of care. There  will be no assault upon your wish to hear a call that never has been
Tx:31.22  upon your wish to hear a call that never has been made. Nothing  will hurt you in this holy place to which you come to listen silently
Tx:31.22  and learn the truth of what you really want. No more than this  will you be asked to learn. But as you hear it, you will understand
Tx:31.22  more than this will you be asked to learn. But as you hear it, you  will understand you need but come away without the thoughts you did
Tx:31.24  of who your great companion is and what he should be asking for  will be enough to let this happen. And you will perceive his purpose
Tx:31.24  he should be asking for will be enough to let this happen. And you  will perceive his purpose is the same as yours. He asks for what you
Tx:31.26 Only the self-accused condemn. As you prepare to make a choice that  will result in different outcomes, there is first one thing that must
Tx:31.31 Let us be glad that you  will see what you believe, and that it has been given you to change
Tx:31.31  and that it has been given you to change what you believe. The body  will but follow. It can never lead you where you would not be. It
Tx:31.31  with your awakening. Release your body from imprisonment, and you  will see no one as prisoner to what you have escaped. You will not
Tx:31.31  and you will see no one as prisoner to what you have escaped. You  will not want to hold in guilt your chosen enemies nor keep in chains
Tx:31.32  from imprisonment and death. Open your mind to change, and there  will be no ancient penalty exacted from your brother or yourself. For
Tx:31.33  time when everyone conflicts with you, but you can choose which road  will lead you out of conflict and away from difficulties which
Tx:31.33  escape from them by leaving them behind? What must go with you, you  will take with you whatever road you choose to walk along.
Tx:31.34  is but the means to gain that end, for it is here that all its roads  will lead, however differently they seem to start, however
Tx:31.34  Their end is certain, for there is no choice among them. All of them  will lead to death. On some you travel gaily for a while before the
Tx:31.34  And on some the thorns are felt at once. The choice is not what  will the ending be but when it comes.
Tx:31.36  you have learned to what is yet to learn. For from this lowest point  will learning lead to heights of happiness in which you see the
Tx:31.39  direction, not away from it. And every road that leads the other way  will not advance the purpose to be found. If this be difficult to
Tx:31.40  on this—you choose between your brother and yourself, and you  will gain as much as he will lose, and what you lose is what is given
Tx:31.40  between your brother and yourself, and you will gain as much as he  will lose, and what you lose is what is given him. How utterly
Tx:31.41  nor any worldly goal is one with His. What road in all the world  will lead within, when every road was made to separate the journey
Tx:31.41  be but futile wandering? All roads that lead away from what you are  will lead you to confusion and despair. Yet has He never left His
Tx:31.47  the pathways of the world are safely kept and those who walk on them  will not escape.
Tx:31.50  the single aim of teaching you this concept of yourself, that you  will choose to follow this world's laws and never seek to go beyond
Tx:31.57  with evil and reacts to wicked things? Your concept of yourself  will still remain quite meaningless. And you will not perceive that
Tx:31.57  concept of yourself will still remain quite meaningless. And you  will not perceive that you can interact but with yourself. To see a
Tx:31.58 You  will make many concepts of the self as learning goes along. Each one
Tx:31.58  will make many concepts of the self as learning goes along. Each one  will show the changes in your own relationships as your perception of
Tx:31.58  own relationships as your perception of yourself is changed. There  will be some confusion every time there is a shift, but be you
Tx:31.58  upon your mind. And be you sure and happy in the confidence that it  will go at last and leave your mind at peace. The role of the accuser
Tx:31.58  go at last and leave your mind at peace. The role of the accuser  will appear in many places and in many forms. And each will seem to

Tx:31.59  them. There will come a time when images have all gone by, and you  will see you know not what you are. It is to this unsealed and open
Tx:31.61 Yet in this learning is salvation born. And what you are  will tell you of Itself.
Tx:31.62  flesh or Spirit in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you never  will escape the body as your own reality, for you have chosen that
Tx:31.63  and loss. And no one is exactly as he was an instant previous, nor  will he be the same as he is now an instant hence. Who could have
Tx:31.64  how to behold a world apart from it. It is your world salvation  will undo and let you see another world your eyes could never find.
Tx:31.65  Heaven plain. The means are given you by which to see the world that  will replace the one you made. Your will be done! In Heaven as on
Tx:31.65  by which to see the world that will replace the one you made. Your  will be done! In Heaven as on earth, this is forever true. It matters
Tx:31.65  you choose to feel or think or wish. For God Himself has said, “Your  will be done.” And it is done to you accordingly.
Tx:31.66  God as you would have him be, forget not that no concept of yourself  will stand against the truth of what you are. Undoing truth would be
Tx:31.66  seen, that does not fit the picture as it was perceived before  will change the world for eyes that learn to see, because the concept

Tx:31.67  as light, as innocent as Love Itself. And you are worthy that your  will be done!
Tx:31.69  your “evil” thoughts as long as you see value in attack. You  will perceive them sometimes, but will not see them as meaningless.
Tx:31.69  as you see value in attack. You will perceive them sometimes, but  will not see them as meaningless. And so they come in fearful form,
Tx:31.70  in him, the body grows decreasingly persistent in your sight and  will at length be seen as little more than just a shadow circling
Tx:31.70  as little more than just a shadow circling round the good. And this  will be your concept of yourself, when you have reached the world
Tx:31.70  world beyond the sight your eyes alone can offer you to see. For you  will not interpret what you see without the Aid that God has given
Tx:31.71  jointly held. The contrast is far greater than you think, for you  will love this concept of yourself because it was not made for you
Tx:31.77  and forgot, and those you knew a long while since, and those you  will yet meet, the unremembered and the not yet born. For God has
Tx:31.79  a concept rises, teaching that you are the thing you wish to be. It  will remain your concept of yourself until the wish that fathered it
Tx:31.79  fathered it no longer is held dear. But while you cherish it, you  will behold your brother in the likeness of the self whose image has
Tx:31.88  strength instead of their own weakness, seen apart from Him. They  will redeem the world, for they are joined in all the power of the
Tx:31.88  will redeem the world, for they are joined in all the power of the  Will of God. And what they will is only what He wills.
Tx:31.88  they are joined in all the power of the Will of God. And what they  will is only what He wills.

Tx:31.92  that every choice you make establishes your own identity as you  will see it and believe it is.
Tx:31.93  bring a vision of a different world, so new and clean and fresh you  will forget the pain and sorrow that you saw before. Yet this a
Tx:31.93  is which you must share with everyone you see, for otherwise you  will behold it not. To give this gift is how to make it yours. And
Tx:31.94  where God's gift can once again be recognized as ours! And thus  will all the vestiges of hell, the secret “sins,” and hidden hates be
Tx:31.94  I cannot call in vain, and in His certainty I rest content. For you  will hear, and you will choose again. And in this choice is everyone

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

W1:10.1  again. You have no basis for comparison as yet. When you do, you  will have no doubt that what you once believed were your thoughts did
W1:10.5 This idea  will help to release me from all that I now believe.
W1:10.9 This idea  will help to release me from all that I now believe.
W1:11.4 Three practice periods today  will probably be sufficient. However, if there is little or no
W1:12.8  The truth upsets you now, but when your words have been erased, you  will see His. That is the ultimate purpose of these exercises.
W1:13.1  Nothing without meaning exists. However, it does not follow that you  will not think you perceive something that has no meaning. On the
W1:13.1  you perceive something that has no meaning. On the contrary, you  will be particularly likely to think you do perceive it.
W1:13.3  accept it without fear. If you are fearful, it is certain that you  will endow the world with attributes which it does not possess and
W1:13.8  You are not expected to believe the statement at this point and  will probably try to dismiss it as preposterous. Note carefully,
W1:13.8  try not even to think of it except during the exercise periods. That  will suffice at present.
W1:14.2  with today's idea unless you find them comfortable. If you do, it  will be because you really understand what they are for.
W1:14.3  can be quite difficult and even quite painful. Some of them  will lead you directly into fear. You will not be left there. You
W1:14.3  quite painful. Some of them will lead you directly into fear. You  will not be left there. You will go far beyond it. Our direction is
W1:14.3  will lead you directly into fear. You will not be left there. You  will go far beyond it. Our direction is toward perfect safety and
W1:15.2  idea to the process of image-making which you call seeing  will not have much meaning for you. You will begin to understand it
W1:15.2  which you call seeing will not have much meaning for you. You  will begin to understand it when you have seen little edges of light
W1:15.2  is the beginning of real vision. You can be certain that real vision  will come quickly when this has occurred.
W1:15.3  of them. They are signs that you are opening your eyes at last. They  will not persist, because they merely symbolize true perception, and
W1:15.3  perception, and they are not related to knowledge. These exercises  will not reveal knowledge to you. But they will prepare the way to it.
W1:15.3  These exercises will not reveal knowledge to you. But they  will prepare the way to it.
W1:15.7 Although you  will obviously not be able to apply the idea to very many things
W1:15.7  try to make the selection as random as possible. Less than a minute  will do for the practice periods, if you begin to feel uneasy. Do not
W1:16.2  or it multiplies illusions. You can indeed multiply nothing, but you  will not extend it by doing so.
W1:16.3  you recognize them all as equally destructive but equally unreal. We  will practice this idea in many forms before you really understand it.
W1:16.4  the search. This is quite difficult until you get used to it. You  will find that it is still hard for you not to make artificial
W1:16.9  you find them relatively effortless. If strain is experienced, three  will be enough. The length of the exercise period should also be
W1:18.1  It also emphasizes the idea that minds are joined, which  will be given increasing stress later.
W1:18.2  see as much as to how you see it. Therefore, the exercises for today  will emphasize this aspect of your perception. The three or four
W1:18.7 A minute or so or even less  will be sufficient.
W1:19.1  obviously the reason why your seeing does not affect you alone. You  will notice that at times the ideas related to thinking precede those
W1:19.2  private thoughts. Despite your initial resistance to this idea, you  will yet understand that it must be true if salvation is possible at
W1:19.2  is possible at all. And salvation must be possible because it is the  Will of God.
W1:19.5  for the practice period should be quite familiar to you by now and  will no longer be repeated each day, although it will occasionally be
W1:19.5  to you by now and will no longer be repeated each day, although it  will occasionally be included as a reminder. Do not forget, however,
W1:19.5  remains essential throughout. Lack of order in this connection  will ultimately make the recognition of lack of order in miracles
W1:20.1  of your thinking. The salvation of the world depends on it. Yet you  will not see if you regard yourself as being coerced and if you give
W1:20.2  fear. You are now learning how to tell them apart. And great indeed  will be your reward.
W1:20.3  not? God has one Son, and he is the resurrection and the life. His  Will is done because all power is given him in Heaven and on earth.
W1:20.5  or event which upsets you. You can see them differently, and you  will. What you desire, you will see. Such is the real law of cause
W1:20.5  You can see them differently, and you will. What you desire, you  will see. Such is the real law of cause and effect as it operates in
W1:21.2  rage. The degree of the emotion you experience does not matter. You  will become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is
W1:21.3  and nothing that you believe in this connection means anything. You  will probably be tempted to dwell more on some situations than on
W1:22.1  change how he sees. Otherwise, thoughts of attack and counter-attack  will preoccupy him and people his entire world. What peace of mind is
W1:22.4 I see only the perishable. I see nothing that  will last. What I see is not real. What I see is a form of vengeance.
W1:23.1 The idea for today contains the only way out of fear that  will ever succeed. Nothing else will work; everything else is
W1:23.1  the only way out of fear that will ever succeed. Nothing else  will work; everything else is meaningless. But this way cannot fail.
W1:23.2  about the world. Here you are changing the cause. The effects  will change automatically.
W1:23.4  now. Loveliness can light your images and so transform them that you  will love them even though they were made of hate. For you will not
W1:23.4  that you will love them even though they were made of hate. For you  will not be making them alone.
W1:23.5  have already been replaced. By taking the first two steps, you  will see that this is so.
W1:23.9  that thoughts of attack and of being attacked are not different, you  will be ready to let the cause go.
W1:24.1  and that perception is wrong. It is inevitable, then, that you  will not serve your own best interests. Yet they are your only goal
W1:24.1  goal in any situation which is correctly perceived. Otherwise, you  will not recognize what they are.
W1:24.3  each of the five practice periods which should be undertaken today,  will be more helpful than a more cursory examination of a large
W1:24.4  The emphasis should be on uncovering the outcome you want. You  will quickly realize that you have a number of goals in mind as part
W1:24.8 If these exercises are done properly, you  will quickly recognize that you are making a large number of demands
W1:24.8  of demands of the situation which have nothing to do with it. You  will also recognize that many of your goals are contradictory, that
W1:25.2  As a result, you are bound to misuse it. When you believe this, you  will try to withdraw the goals you have assigned to the world instead
W1:26.1  through you must also have effects on you. It is this law that  will ultimately save you. But you are misusing it now. You must
W1:26.2 Because your attack thoughts  will be projected, you will fear attack. And if you fear attack, you
W1:26.2 Because your attack thoughts will be projected, you  will fear attack. And if you fear attack, you must believe that you
W1:26.4 Practice with today's idea  will help you to understand that vulnerability or invulnerability is
W1:26.6  to recur in your thoughts during the day is a suitable subject. You  will not be able to use very many for any one practice period,
W1:26.10 I am afraid ______  will happen.
W1:26.12 As the list of anticipated outcomes for each situation continues, you  will probably find some of them, especially those which occur to you
W1:27.1  The purpose of today's exercises is to bring the time when the idea  will be wholly true a little nearer.
W1:27.6  afterwards and attempt to adhere to it throughout the day. It  will not be difficult to do this, even if you are engaged in
W1:27.7 The real question is how often  will you remember? How much do you want today's idea to be true?
W1:27.7  Answer one of these questions, and you have answered the other. You  will probably miss several applications and perhaps quite a number.
W1:28.1  to the idea for yesterday. In these practice periods, you  will be making a series of definite commitments. The question of
W1:28.1  making a series of definite commitments. The question of whether you  will keep them in the future is not our concern here. If you are
W1:28.2  You either see or not. When you have seen one thing differently, you  will see all things differently. The light you will see in any one of
W1:28.2  differently, you will see all things differently. The light you  will see in any one of them is the same light you will see in them
W1:28.2  The light you will see in any one of them is the same light you  will see in them all.
W1:28.4 You  will not question what we have already defined. And the purpose of
W1:28.6  are therefore really asking to see the purpose of the universe. You  will be making this same request of each subject which you use in the
W1:28.7 We  will have six two minute practice periods today in which the idea for
W1:29.2 You  will probably find this idea very difficult to grasp at this point.
W1:29.3  When vision has shown you the holiness that lights up the world, you  will understand today's idea perfectly. And you will not understand
W1:29.3  up the world, you will understand today's idea perfectly. And you  will not understand how you could ever have found it difficult.
W1:30.1 The idea for today is the springboard for vision. From this idea  will the world open up before you, and you will look upon it and see
W1:30.1  vision. From this idea will the world open up before you, and you  will look upon it and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor
W1:30.1  will look upon it and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor  will what you saw before be even faintly visible to you.
W1:31.1  see without and the world you see within. In applying the idea, we  will use a form of practice which will be used more and more, with
W1:31.1  within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of practice which  will be used more and more, with changes as indicated. Generally
W1:31.2  close your eyes and apply the same idea to your inner world. You  will escape from both together, for the inner is the cause of the
W1:31.5  a response to any form of temptation. It is a declaration that you  will not yield to it and put yourself in bondage.
W1:32.1  you invented it. You can give it up as easily as you made it up. You  will see it or not see it, as you wish. While you want it, you will
W1:32.1  You will see it or not see it, as you wish. While you want it, you  will see it; when you no longer want it, it will not be there for you
W1:32.1  While you want it, you will see it; when you no longer want it, it  will not be there for you to see.
W1:32.2  since you see them as different, the practice periods for today  will again include two phases, one involving the world you see
W1:32.3 Again we  will begin the practice periods for the morning and evening by
W1:33.5  and repeat the idea to yourself several times. Closing your eyes  will probably help in this form of application.
W1:34.7  them to repeating the idea until you feel some sense of relief. It  will help you if you tell yourself specifically:
W1:35.1  the way you see yourself now. It does, however, describe what vision  will show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this
W1:35.2 You  will believe that you are part of where you think you are. That is
W1:35.3  Identity, and it describes you as you must really be in truth. We  will use a somewhat different kind of application for today's idea
W1:35.5 In the earlier part of the mind searching period, you  will probably emphasize what you consider to be the more negative
W1:35.8 You should not think of these terms in an abstract way. They  will occur to you as various situations, personalities and events in
W1:35.10 During the longer exercise periods, there  will probably be intervals in which nothing specific occurs to you.
W1:37.2  can be removed from the world's thinking. Any other way of seeing  will inevitably demand payment of someone or something. As a result,
W1:37.2  demand payment of someone or something. As a result, the perceiver  will lose. Nor will he have any idea why he is losing. Yet is his
W1:37.2  of someone or something. As a result, the perceiver will lose. Nor  will he have any idea why he is losing. Yet is his wholeness restored
W1:38.3 In today's exercises, we  will apply the power of your holiness to all problems, difficulties,
W1:38.3  any form that you happen to think of in yourself or someone else. We  will make no distinctions because there are no distinctions.
W1:39.3  must be saved. How else can he teach salvation? Today's exercises  will apply to you alone, recognizing that your salvation is crucial
W1:39.4  answer to every question that was ever asked, is being asked now, or  will be asked in the future. Your holiness means the end of guilt and
W1:39.7  that you see them differently. And it is your blessing on them that  will save you and give you vision.
W1:39.10  of anything. Sustained concentration is very difficult at first. It  will become much easier as your mind becomes more disciplined and
W1:40.1 Today we  will begin to assert some of the happy things to which you are
W1:40.2 You need not close your eyes for the exercise periods, although you  will probably find it more helpful if you do. However, you may be in
W1:40.7  merely telling yourself that you are blessed as a Son of God  will do.
W1:41.1 Today's idea  will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and
W1:41.2  ready to radiate through you and out into the whole world. It  will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal
W1:41.2  world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it  will heal the mind that thought these things were real and suffered
W1:41.4  dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we  will make our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy
W1:41.5 There  will be only one long practice period today. In the morning, as soon
W1:41.7  might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way  will open if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can bring
W1:41.7  it is attempted. And sooner or later, it is always successful. We  will go into more detail in connection with this kind of practice as
W1:41.7  in connection with this kind of practice as we go along. But it  will never fail completely, and instant success is possible.
W1:42.1  cannot fail in your efforts to achieve the goal of the course. You  will see because it is the Will of God. It is His strength, not your
W1:42.1  to achieve the goal of the course. You will see because it is the  Will of God. It is His strength, not your own, that gives you power.
W1:42.3 We  will have two three- to five-minute longer exercise periods today,
W1:42.10 The more often you repeat the idea during the day, the more often you  will be reminding yourself that the goal of the course is important
W1:43.1  knowledge forever in your minds. With this link with God, perception  will become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge.
W1:43.1  with God, perception will become so changed and purified that it  will lead to knowledge. That is its function as the Holy Spirit sees
W1:44.3  we are going to attempt to reach that light. For this purpose, we  will use a form of practice which has been suggested before and which
W1:44.3  use a form of practice which has been suggested before and which we  will utilize increasingly. It is a particularly difficult form for
W1:44.4  by with little or no sense of strain. The form of exercise we  will use today is the most natural and easy one in the world for the
W1:44.5  untrained. You are quite ready to learn the form of exercise we  will use today, but you may find that you will encounter strong
W1:44.5  the form of exercise we will use today, but you may find that you  will encounter strong resistance. The reason is very simple. While
W1:44.6 If you can stand aside from the ego by ever so little, you  will have no difficulty in recognizing that its opposition and fears
W1:44.9  your eyes closed unless you are aware of fear. In that case, you  will probably find it more reassuring to open your eyes briefly. Try,
W1:45.1  Nothing that you think you see bears any resemblance to what vision  will show you.
W1:45.3 Where, then, are your real thoughts? Today we  will attempt to reach them. We will have to look for them in your
W1:45.3  are your real thoughts? Today we will attempt to reach them. We  will have to look for them in your mind because that is where they
W1:45.4 Our three five-minute practice periods for today  will take the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's
W1:45.4  the same general form that we used in applying yesterday's idea. We  will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We will deny
W1:45.4  idea. We will attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We  will deny the world in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts
W1:45.4  and seek for the real. We will deny the world in favor of truth. We  will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back, and we will not
W1:45.4  We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us back, and we  will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what God would
W1:45.5 Instead, we  will try to recognize that only what God would have us do is
W1:45.5  try to recognize that only what God would have us do is possible. We  will also try to understand that only what God would have us do is
W1:45.5  that only what God would have us do is what we want to do. And we  will also try to remember that we cannot fail in doing what He would
W1:45.5  would have us do. There is every reason to feel confident that you  will succeed today. It is the Will of God.
W1:45.5  reason to feel confident that you will succeed today. It is the  Will of God.
W1:45.9  They are there in your mind now, completely unchanged. They  will always be in your mind, exactly as they always were.
W1:45.10 Everything that you have thought since then  will change, but the foundation on which they rest is wholly
W1:45.11  and God the Son. For such is the place you are trying to reach. You  will probably be unable as yet to realize how high you are trying to
W1:46.13  however, to make more specific applications if they are needed. They  will be needed at any time during the day when you become aware of
W1:47.1  you the recognition of the right solution and the guarantee that it  will be accomplished?
W1:47.4 Today we  will try to reach past your own weakness to the Source of real
W1:47.6  the situation successfully. It is not by trusting yourself that you  will gain confidence. But the strength of God in you is successful in
W1:47.8  try to reach down into your mind to a place of real safety. You  will recognize that you have reached it if you feel a sense of deep
W1:48.2 Today's practice periods  will be very short, very simple, and very frequent. Merely repeat the
W1:49.3 We  will need at least four five-minute practice periods today and more
W1:49.3  four five-minute practice periods today and more if possible. We  will try actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your
W1:49.3  actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your Self. We  will approach this happiest and holiest of thoughts with confidence,
W1:49.3  with confidence, knowing that in doing so we are joining our  will with the Will of God. He wants you to hear His Voice. He gave It
W1:49.3  knowing that in doing so we are joining our will with the  Will of God. He wants you to hear His Voice. He gave It to you to be
W1:50.2 Do not put your faith in the worthless. It  will not sustain you. Only the Love of God will protect you in all
W1:50.2  in the worthless. It will not sustain you. Only the Love of God  will protect you in all circumstances. It will lift you out of every
W1:50.2  you. Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. It  will lift you out of every trial and raise you high above all the
W1:50.2  dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It  will transport you into a state of mind which nothing can threaten,
W1:50.3 Put not your faith in illusions. They  will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God within you,
W1:R1.1 Beginning with today, we  will have a series of review periods. Each of them will cover five of
W1:R1.1  with today, we will have a series of review periods. Each of them  will cover five of the ideas already presented, starting with the
W1:R1.1  starting with the first and ending with the fiftieth. There  will be a few short comments after each of the ideas, which you
W1:R1.4  is emphasized particularly for reviews at your stage of learning. It  will be necessary, however, that you learn to require no special
W1:R1.4  no special settings in which to apply what you have learned. You  will need it most in situations which appear to be upsetting, rather
W1:R1.5  by avoiding them and seeking a haven of isolation for yourself. You  will yet learn that peace is part of you and requires only that you
W1:R1.5  be there to embrace any situation in which you are. And finally you  will learn that there is no limit to where you are, so that your
W1:R1.6 You  will note that for review purposes the ideas are not always given in
W1:52.3  my “enemies.” When I have forgiven myself and remembered who I am, I  will bless everyone and everything I see. There will be no past and
W1:52.3  who I am, I will bless everyone and everything I see. There  will be no past and therefore no “enemies.” And I will look with love
W1:52.3  I see. There will be no past and therefore no “enemies.” And I  will look with love on all that I failed to see before.
W1:53.1 Today we  will review the following:
W1:53.4  this belief and place my trust in reality. In choosing this, I  will escape all the effects of the world of fear because I am
W1:53.6  images I have made cannot prevail against Him because it is not my  will that they do so. My will is His, and I will place no other gods
W1:53.6  prevail against Him because it is not my will that they do so. My  will is His, and I will place no other gods before Him.
W1:53.6  Him because it is not my will that they do so. My will is His, and I  will place no other gods before Him.
W1:54.2  thoughts are impossible, because all thoughts have power. They  will either make a false world or lead me to the real one. But
W1:54.2  effects. As the world I see arises from my thinking errors, so  will the real world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be
W1:54.4  the real thoughts in them. And the world my real thoughts show me  will dawn on their sight as well as mine.
W1:54.6  loss. I would look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my  will and the Will of God are one.
W1:54.6  look upon the real world, and let it teach me that my will and the  Will of God are one.
W1:55.3  attack thoughts which give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts  will save me from this perception of the world and give me the peace
W1:55.4  of attack. As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I  will see a world of peace and safety and joy. It is this I choose to
W1:56.2  But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real thoughts  will teach me what it is.
W1:56.3  I let this image of myself go. As it is replaced by truth, vision  will surely be given me. And with this vision, I will look upon the
W1:56.3  by truth, vision will surely be given me. And with this vision, I  will look upon the world and upon myself with charity and love.
W1:56.5  love, its light remains undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my  will united with the Will of my Father. God is still everywhere and
W1:56.5  undimmed. Beyond all my insane wishes is my will united with the  Will of my Father. God is still everywhere and in everything forever.
W1:56.5  everywhere and in everything forever. And we who are part of Him  will yet look past all appearances and recognize the truth beyond
W1:57.5  peace instead of this. When I see the world as a place of freedom, I  will realize that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules
W1:57.5  laws of God instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey. I  will understand that peace, not war, abides in it. And I will
W1:57.5  to obey. I will understand that peace, not war, abides in it. And I  will perceive that peace also abides in the hearts of all who share
W1:59.4  see what God wants me to see. I cannot see anything else. Beyond His  Will lie only illusions. It is these I choose when I think I can see
W1:59.5  Light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy world it  will show me.
W1:60.2  see nothing to forgive. Yet forgiveness is the means by which I  will recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of God's Love on
W1:60.2  my innocence. It is the reflection of God's Love on earth. It  will bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love of God can reach
W1:60.4 [48] There is nothing to fear. How safe the world  will look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything like
W1:60.4  to fear. How safe the world will look to me when I can see it! It  will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and
W1:60.4  like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything I see  will lean toward me to bless me. I will recognize in everyone my
W1:60.4  Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I  will recognize in everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to
W1:61.4 You  will want to think about this idea as often as possible today. It is
W1:61.8  sure both to begin and end the day with a practice period. Thus you  will awaken with an acknowledgment of the truth about yourself,
W1:61.9  obviously necessary. This is the first of a number of giant steps we  will take in the next few weeks. Try today to begin to build a firm
W1:62.1 It is your forgiveness that  will bring the world of darkness to the light. It is your forgiveness
W1:62.3  Christ in you. Do you not then begin to understand what forgiveness  will do for you? It will remove all sense of weakness, strain, and
W1:62.3  not then begin to understand what forgiveness will do for you? It  will remove all sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your
W1:62.3  remove all sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your mind. It  will take away all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the
W1:62.3  from your mind. It will take away all fear and guilt and pain. It  will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son to your
W1:62.4  idea and to use it as frequently as possible throughout the day. It  will help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you to be.
W1:62.4  help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you to be. And it  will help those around you as well as those who seem to be far away
W1:62.7  or two to considering your function and the happiness and release it  will bring you.
W1:62.8 Let related thoughts come freely, for your heart  will recognize these words, and in your mind is the awareness that
W1:63.2  Accept no trivial purpose or meaningless desire in its place or you  will forget your function and leave the Son of God in hell. This is
W1:63.3 Recognizing the importance of this function, we  will be happy to remember it very often today. We will begin the day
W1:63.3  this function, we will be happy to remember it very often today. We  will begin the day by acknowledging it and close the day with the
W1:63.3  with the thought of it in our awareness. And throughout the day, we  will repeat this as often as we can:
W1:63.5 If you can close your eyes, you  will probably find it easier to let related thoughts come to you in
W1:64.4  Son of God is you. Only by fulfilling the function given you by God  will you be happy. That is because your function is to be happy by
W1:64.6 Prepare yourself in advance for all the decisions you  will make today by remembering that they are really very simple. Each
W1:64.6  make today by remembering that they are really very simple. Each one  will lead to happiness or unhappiness. Can such a simple decision
W1:64.9  15 minutes to reflecting on this with closed eyes. Related thoughts  will come to help you if you remember the crucial importance of your
W1:64.10  and then to thinking about them and about nothing else. This  will be difficult at first particularly, since you are not proficient
W1:65.4  time for God, as well as for all the trivial purposes and goals you  will pursue. This is part of the long range disciplinary training
W1:65.8 After a while, interfering thoughts  will become harder to find. Try, however, to continue a minute or so
W1:65.11  trying to focus on its importance to you, the relief its acceptance  will bring you by resolving your conflicts once and for all, and the
W1:65.14  keep them open and look about you. It is what you see now that  will be totally changed when you accept today's idea completely.
W1:66.3 Today we  will try to go past this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the
W1:66.3  meaningless battle and arrive at the truth about your function. We  will not engage in ceaseless arguments about what it is. We will not
W1:66.3  We will not engage in ceaseless arguments about what it is. We  will not become hopelessly involved in defining happiness and
W1:66.3  in defining happiness and determining the means for achieving it. We  will not indulge the ego by listening to its attacks on truth. We
W1:66.3  We will not indulge the ego by listening to its attacks on truth. We  will merely be glad that we can find out what truth is.
W1:66.12  Yet the ego is the only alternative to the Holy Spirit's Voice. You  will listen to madness or hear the truth. Try to make this choice as
W1:66.16 It  will not take more than a minute, and probably less, to repeat these
W1:67.2 We  will make every effort today to reach this truth about you and to
W1:67.2  a moment, that it is the truth. In the longer practice period, we  will think about your reality and its wholly unchanged and
W1:67.2  your reality and its wholly unchanged and unchangeable nature. We  will begin by repeating this truth about you and then spend a few
W1:67.6  other thoughts related to the truth about yourself. Yet perhaps you  will succeed in going past that and through the interval of
W1:67.6  you recognize yourself as Love created you. Be confident that you  will do much today to bring that awareness nearer, whether you feel
W1:67.7 It  will be particularly helpful today to practice the idea for today as
W1:68.4 It is as sure that those who hold grievances  will redefine God in their own image as it is certain that God
W1:68.4  them as part of Him. It is as sure that those who hold grievances  will suffer guilt as it is certain that those who forgive will find
W1:68.4  grievances will suffer guilt as it is certain that those who forgive  will find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances will
W1:68.4  will find peace. It is as sure that those who hold grievances  will forget who they are as it is certain that those who forgive will
W1:68.4  will forget who they are as it is certain that those who forgive  will remember. Would you not be willing to relinquish your grievances
W1:68.5  go. That, however, is simply a question of motivation. Today we  will try to find out how you would feel without them. If you succeed
W1:68.5  feel without them. If you succeed even by ever so little, there  will never be a problem in motivation ever again.
W1:68.6  whom you hold what you regard as major grievances. Some of these  will be quite easy to find. Then think of the seemingly minor
W1:68.6  you hold against those you like and even think you love. It  will quickly become apparent that there is no one against whom you do
W1:68.10 Love holds no grievances. When I let all my grievances go, I  will know I am perfectly safe.
W1:69.5  which you would be really convinced of their lack of substance. We  will make this attempt today.
W1:69.7 If you are doing the exercises properly, you  will begin to feel a sense of being lifted up and carried ahead. Your
W1:69.7  call on the power of the universe to help you, and God Himself  will raise you from darkness into light. You are in accord with His
W1:69.7  will raise you from darkness into light. You are in accord with His  Will. You cannot fail because your will is His.
W1:69.7  light. You are in accord with His Will. You cannot fail because your  will is His.
W1:69.8  answer yet, but you can indeed be sure that it is given you, and you  will yet receive it. Try, as you attempt to go through the clouds to
W1:69.8  in your mind. Try to remember that you are at last joining your  will to God's. Try to keep the thought clearly in mind that what you
W1:69.8  Then let the power of God work in you and through you, that His  Will and yours may be done.
W1:69.9 In the shorter practice periods, which you  will want to do as often as possible in view of the importance of
W1:69.12 If I hold this grievance, the light of the world  will be hidden from me,
W1:70.5  was to ensure that it did. Today we practice realizing that God's  Will and ours are really the same in this.
W1:70.7  periods today, each of which should last some ten to 15 minutes. We  will, however, still let you decide when to undertake them. We will
W1:70.7  We will, however, still let you decide when to undertake them. We  will follow this practice for a number of lessons, and it would again
W1:70.12 Now we  will try again to reach the light in you, which is where your
W1:70.12  It is past the clouds and in the light beyond. Remember that you  will have to go through the clouds before you can reach the light.
W1:70.13  think of me holding your hand and leading you. And I assure you this  will be no idle fantasy.
W1:71.1  after we have considered just what the ego's plan is, perhaps you  will realize that, however preposterous it may be, you do believe it.
W1:71.4  any perceived source of salvation is acceptable, provided that it  will not work. This ensures that the fruitless search will continue,
W1:71.4  that it will not work. This ensures that the fruitless search  will continue, for the illusion persists that, although this hope has
W1:71.4  grounds for hope in other places and in other things. Another person  will yet serve better; another situation will yet offer success.

W1:71.5  but do not find.” For what could more surely guarantee that you  will not find salvation than to channelize all your efforts in
W1:71.6  where it is. But if you are to succeed, as God promises you  will, you must be willing to seek there only. Otherwise your purpose
W1:71.6  to seek there only. Otherwise your purpose is divided, and you  will attempt to follow two plans for salvation which are
W1:71.7  The idea for today is the answer. Only God's plan for salvation  will work. There can be no real conflict about this, because there is
W1:71.7  this, because there is no possible alternative to God's plan that  will save you. His is the only plan that is certain in its outcome.
W1:71.9  equal contribution to the whole. God's plan for your salvation  will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself to become
W1:71.9  the whole. God's plan for your salvation will work, and other plans  will not. Do not allow yourself to become depressed or angry at the
W1:71.9  free yourself. They have led to depression and anger. But God's plan  will succeed. It will lead to release and joy.

W1:71.12  you what needs to be done by you in His plan for your salvation. He  will answer you in proportion to your willingness to hear His Voice.
W1:71.13  tell yourself often that God's plan for salvation, and only His,  will work. Be alert to all temptation to hold grievances today, and
W1:71.14  is the opposite of God's plan for salvation. And only His plan  will work.
W1:72.9 We  will try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We will
W1:72.9 We will try today to stop these senseless attacks on salvation. We  will try to welcome it instead. Your upside-down perception has been
W1:72.13 Then we  will wait in quiet for His answer.
W1:72.14  see and hear and learn. “What is salvation, Father?” Ask and you  will be answered. Seek and you will find.
W1:72.14  is salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be answered. Seek and you  will find.
W1:72.15  it. We are asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer  will be true because of Whom you ask. Whenever you feel your
W1:72.17 He  will answer. Be determined to hear.
W1:72.18 One or perhaps two shorter practice periods an hour  will be enough for today since they will be somewhat longer than
W1:72.18  shorter practice periods an hour will be enough for today since they  will be somewhat longer than usual. These exercises begin with this:
W1:73.1 Today we are considering the  will you share with God. This is not the same as the ego's idle
W1:73.1  ego's idle wishes, out of which darkness and nothingness arise. The  will you share with God has all the power of creation in it. The
W1:73.3 Your  will is lost to you in this strange bartering, in which guilt is
W1:73.3  with each exchange. Can such a world have been created by the  will the Son of God shares with his Father? Did God create disaster
W1:73.3  his Father? Did God create disaster for His Son? Creation is the  will of Both together. Would God create a world that kills Himself?
W1:73.4 Today we  will try once more to reach the world that is in accordance with your
W1:73.4  try once more to reach the world that is in accordance with your  will. The light is in it because it does not oppose the Will of God.
W1:73.4  with your will. The light is in it because it does not oppose the  Will of God. It is not Heaven, but the light of Heaven shines on it.
W1:73.5 Yet the light which shines upon this world reflects your  will, and so it must be in you that we will look for it. Your picture
W1:73.5  upon this world reflects your will, and so it must be in you that we  will look for it. Your picture of the world can only mirror what is
W1:73.5  on a darkened world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your  will, and lets you look upon a world of light.
W1:73.7  is not happiness, and it is happiness you really want. Such is your  will in truth. And so salvation is your will as well. You want to
W1:73.7  really want. Such is your will in truth. And so salvation is your  will as well. You want to succeed in what we are trying to do today.
W1:73.8 We  will succeed today if you remember that you will salvation for
W1:73.8 We will succeed today if you remember that you  will salvation for yourself. You will to accept God's plan because
W1:73.8  today if you remember that you will salvation for yourself. You  will to accept God's plan because you share in it. You have no will
W1:73.8  You will to accept God's plan because you share in it. You have no  will that can really oppose it, and you do not want to do so.
W1:73.9 Today it is the ego which stands powerless before your  will. Your will is free, and nothing can prevail against it.
W1:73.9 Today it is the ego which stands powerless before your will. Your  will is free, and nothing can prevail against it. Therefore we
W1:73.9  the exercises for today in happy confidence, certain that we  will find what it is your will to find and remember what it is your
W1:73.9  today in happy confidence, certain that we will find what it is your  will to find and remember what it is your will to remember. No idle
W1:73.9  will find what it is your will to find and remember what it is your  will to remember. No idle wishes can detain us nor deceive us with an
W1:73.9  us nor deceive us with an illusion of strength. Today let your  will be done. And end forever the insane belief that it is hell in
W1:73.10 We  will begin our longer practice periods with the recognition that
W1:73.10  plan for salvation, and only His, is wholly in accord with your  will. It is not the purpose of an alien power, thrust upon you
W1:73.11 You  will succeed today, the time appointed for the release of the Son of
W1:73.11  release of the Son of God from hell and from all idle wishes. His  will is now restored to his awareness. He is willing this very day to
W1:73.12 After reminding yourself of this and determining to keep your  will clearly in mind, tell yourself with gentle firmness and quiet
W1:73.13 I  will there be light. Let me behold the light that reflects God's Will
W1:73.13 I will there be light. Let me behold the light that reflects God's  Will and mine.
W1:73.14 Then let your  will assert itself, joined with the power of God and united with your
W1:73.16 I  will there be light. Darkness is not my will.
W1:73.16 I will there be light. Darkness is not my  will.
W1:73.17  immediately you are tempted to hold a grievance of any kind. This  will help you let your grievances go instead of cherishing them and
W1:74.1  toward which all our exercises are directed. God's is the only  will. When you have recognized this, you have recognized that your
W1:74.1  will. When you have recognized this, you have recognized that your  will is His. The belief that conflict is possible has gone. Peace has
W1:74.1  idea that you are torn by conflicting goals. As an expression of the  Will of God, you have no goal but His.
W1:74.4 There is no  will but God's. I cannot be in conflict.
W1:74.6 I am at peace. Nothing can disturb me. My  will is God's My will and God's are one. God wills peace for His Son.
W1:74.6 I am at peace. Nothing can disturb me. My will is God's My  will and God's are one. God wills peace for His Son.
W1:74.8 There is no  will but God's. These conflict thoughts are meaningless.
W1:74.10 There is no  will but God's. I share it with Him. My conflicts about _____ cannot
W1:74.11  but the difference is easily detected. If you are succeeding, you  will feel a deep sense of joy and an increased alertness rather than
W1:74.11  and enervation. Joy characterizes peace. By this experience  will you recognize that you have reached it.
W1:74.14 There is no  will but God's. I seek His peace today.
W1:75.3 Our exercises for today  will be happy ones in which we offer thanks for the passing of the
W1:75.3  darken our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers us. Today we  will accept the new world as what we want to see. We will be given
W1:75.3  us. Today we will accept the new world as what we want to see. We  will be given what we desire. We will to see the light; the light has
W1:75.3  world as what we want to see. We will be given what we desire. We  will to see the light; the light has come.
W1:75.4 Our longer practice periods  will be devoted to looking at the world which our forgiveness shows
W1:75.9  never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. Believe He  will not fail you now. You have forgiven the world. He will be with
W1:75.9  Believe He will not fail you now. You have forgiven the world. He  will be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you what true
W1:75.9  forgiven the world. He will be with you as you watch and wait. He  will show you what true vision sees. It is His Will, and you have
W1:75.9  watch and wait. He will show you what true vision sees. It is His  Will, and you have joined with Him. Wait patiently for Him. He will
W1:75.9  His Will, and you have joined with Him. Wait patiently for Him. He  will be there. The light has come. You have forgiven the world.
W1:75.10  to look upon the world He promised you. From this time forth you  will see differently. Today the light has come. And you will see the
W1:75.10  forth you will see differently. Today the light has come. And you  will see the world that has been promised you since time began, and
W1:75.11 The shorter practice periods, too,  will be joyful reminders of your release. Remind yourself every
W1:75.11  past upon your eyes, you cannot fail to see today. And what you see  will be so welcome that you will gladly extend today forever. Say,
W1:75.11  fail to see today. And what you see will be so welcome that you  will gladly extend today forever. Say, then:
W1:76.2 Today we  will be glad you cannot prove it. For if you could, you would forever
W1:76.2  is salvation. Look for it where it waits for you, and there it  will be found. Look nowhere else, for it is nowhere else.
W1:76.3  or some fluid pushed into your veins through a sharpened needle  will ward off death. You really think you are alone unless another
W1:76.4  of medicine, of economics, and of health. Protect the body, and you  will be saved.
W1:76.5  by the mind that hurts itself. The body suffers that the mind  will fail to see it is the victim of itself. The body's suffering is
W1:76.6  it applies to everything that you have made in opposition to His  Will. Your magic has no meaning. What it is meant to save does not
W1:76.6  it is meant to save does not exist. Only what it is meant to hide  will save you.
W1:76.7 The laws of God can never be replaced. We  will devote today to rejoicing that this is so. It is no longer a
W1:76.8 We  will begin the longer practice period today with a short review of
W1:76.10  silent readiness to hear the Voice that speaks the truth to you. You  will be listening to One Who says there is no loss under the laws of
W1:76.11  upheld the world you thought you saw. Then listen further. He  will tell you more. About the love your Father has for you. About the
W1:76.12 Let us today open God's channels to Him and let His  Will extend through us to Him. Thus is creation endlessly increased.
W1:76.12  through us to Him. Thus is creation endlessly increased. His Voice  will speak of this to us, as well as of the joys of Heaven which His
W1:76.12  as of the joys of Heaven which His laws keep limitless forever. We  will repeat today's idea until we have listened and understood there
W1:76.12  we have listened and understood there are no laws but God's. Then we  will tell ourselves as a dedication with which the practice period
W1:76.14 We  will repeat this dedication as often as possible today—at least
W1:77.1 You are entitled to miracles because of what you are. You  will receive miracles because of what God is. And you will offer
W1:77.1  you are. You will receive miracles because of what God is. And you  will offer miracles because you are one with God. Again, how simple
W1:77.1  It is merely a statement of your true Identity. It is this that we  will celebrate today.
W1:77.3 Today we  will claim the miracles which are your right since they belong to
W1:77.3  We ask no more than what belongs to us in truth. Today, however, we  will also make sure that we will not content ourselves with less.
W1:77.3  to us in truth. Today, however, we will also make sure that we  will not content ourselves with less.
W1:77.5  You cannot fail to be assured in this. You are but asking that the  Will of God be done. In doing this, you do not really ask for
W1:77.6  at last. The answer is a simple statement of a simple fact. You  will receive the assurance that you seek.
W1:77.7 Our shorter practice periods  will be frequent and will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple
W1:77.7 Our shorter practice periods will be frequent and  will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple fact. Tell yourself
W1:77.9  them whenever a situation arises in which they are called for. You  will recognize these situations; you are not relying on yourself to
W1:77.11 I  will not trade miracles for grievances. I want only what belongs to
W1:78.1  it would conceal. And as you raise it up before your eyes, you  will not see the miracle beyond. Yet all the while it waits for you
W1:78.2  we go beyond the grievances to look upon the miracle instead. We  will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to stop before it
W1:78.2  the way you see by not allowing sight to stop before it sees. We  will not wait before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently
W1:78.3 He waits for you behind your grievances, and as you lay them down, he  will appear in shining light where each one stood before. For every
W1:78.4 Today we  will attempt to see God's Son. We will not let ourselves be blind to
W1:78.4 Today we will attempt to see God's Son. We  will not let ourselves be blind to him; we will not look upon our
W1:78.4  to see God's Son. We will not let ourselves be blind to him; we  will not look upon our grievances. So is the seeing of the world
W1:78.5 We  will select one person you have used as target for your grievances
W1:78.6  know the one to choose; his name has crossed your mind already. He  will be the one of whom we ask God's Son be shown to us. Through
W1:78.6  seeing him behind the grievances that we have held against him, you  will learn that what lay hidden while you saw him not is there in
W1:78.7 Our longer practice periods today  will see him in this role. We will attempt to hold him in our mind,
W1:78.7 Our longer practice periods today will see him in this role. We  will attempt to hold him in our mind, first as you now consider him.
W1:78.7  attempt to hold him in our mind, first as you now consider him. We  will review his faults, the difficulties you have had with him, the
W1:78.7  his neglect, and all the little and the larger hurts he gave. We  will regard his body with its flaws and better points as well, and we
W1:78.7  regard his body with its flaws and better points as well, and we  will think of his mistakes and even of his “sins.”
W1:78.10  you, seeing no separation in God's Son. And what you see through Him  will free you both.
W1:78.12 We  will remember this throughout the day and take the role assigned to
W1:79.1  you do not know what it is. Even if it is really solved already, you  will still have the problem because you cannot recognize that it has
W1:79.7 In our longer practice periods today, we  will ask what the problem is and what is the answer to it. We will
W1:79.7  we will ask what the problem is and what is the answer to it. We  will not assume that we already know. We will try to free our minds
W1:79.7  is the answer to it. We will not assume that we already know. We  will try to free our minds of all the many different kinds of
W1:79.7  all the many different kinds of problems that we think we have. We  will try to realize that we have only one problem, which we have
W1:79.7  that we have only one problem, which we have failed to recognize. We  will ask what it is and wait for the answer. We will be told. Then we
W1:79.7  to recognize. We will ask what it is and wait for the answer. We  will be told. Then we will ask for the solution to it. And we will be
W1:79.7  ask what it is and wait for the answer. We will be told. Then we  will ask for the solution to it. And we will be told.
W1:79.7  We will be told. Then we will ask for the solution to it. And we  will be told.
W1:79.8 Our exercises for today  will be successful to the extent to which we do not insist on
W1:79.8  extent to which we do not insist on defining the problem. Perhaps we  will not succeed in letting all our preconceived notions go, but that
W1:79.9 The shorter practice periods for today  will not be set by time but by need. You will see many problems
W1:79.9  practice periods for today will not be set by time but by need. You  will see many problems today, each one calling for an answer. Our
W1:79.9  see many problems today, each one calling for an answer. Our efforts  will be directed toward recognizing that there is only one problem
W1:79.12  If possible, close your eyes for a moment and ask what it is. You  will be heard and you will be answered.
W1:79.12  your eyes for a moment and ask what it is. You will be heard and you  will be answered.
W1:80.1 If you are willing to recognize your problems, you  will recognize that you have no problems. Your one central problem
W1:80.3  you do not forget that all problems are the same. Their many forms  will not deceive you while you remember this. One problem—one
W1:80.4 In our longer practice periods today, we  will claim the peace that must be ours when the problem and the
W1:R2.1 We are now ready for another review. We  will begin where our last review left off and cover two ideas each
W1:R2.1  left off and cover two ideas each day. The earlier part of each day  will be devoted to one of these ideas, and the latter part of the day
W1:R2.1  one of these ideas, and the latter part of the day to the other. We  will have one longer exercise period and frequent shorter ones in
W1:R2.2 The longer practice periods  will follow this general form: take about 15 minutes for each of
W1:R2.3 There is a message waiting for you. Be confident that you  will receive it. Remember that it belongs to you and that you want
W1:R2.3  them with your determination to succeed. Do not forget that your  will has power over all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you
W1:R2.5  and a more specific form when needed. Some specific forms  will be included in the comments. These, however, are merely
W1:81.4  the light of the world shine through this appearance. This shadow  will vanish before the light.
W1:81.5  the light of the world. It is through accepting my function that I  will see the light in me. And in this light will my function stand
W1:81.5  my function that I will see the light in me. And in this light  will my function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous before my
W1:81.5  what my function is, for I do not yet understand forgiveness. Yet I  will trust that in the light I will see it as it is.
W1:81.5  not yet understand forgiveness. Yet I will trust that in the light I  will see it as it is.
W1:81.7  what forgiveness means. Let me not separate my function from my  will. I would not use this for an alien purpose.
W1:82.1 We  will review these ideas today:
W1:82.5  my function by forgetting. And unless I fulfill my function, I  will not experience the joy that God intends for me.
W1:84.2  I cannot die. I am not a body. I would recognize my reality today. I  will worship no idols nor raise my own self-concepts to replace my
W1:84.7 This is no justification for denying my Self. I  will not use this to attack love. Let this not tempt me to attack
W1:85.1 Today's review  will cover these ideas:
W1:85.2  to see. To see, I must lay grievances aside. I want to see, and this  will be the means by which I will succeed.
W1:85.2  aside. I want to see, and this will be the means by which I  will succeed.
W1:85.4 Let me not use this as a block to sight. The light of the world  will shine all this away. I have no need for this. I want to see.
W1:85.5 [70] My salvation comes from me. Today I  will recognize where my salvation is. It is in me because its Source
W1:85.5  It has not left its Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. I  will not look for it outside myself. It is not found outside and then
W1:85.5  It is not found outside and then brought in. But from within me it  will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light
W1:85.5  in. But from within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see  will but reflect the light that shines in me and in itself.
W1:85.7 Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my salvation. I  will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my
W1:86.2 [71] Only God's plan for salvation  will work. It is senseless for me to search wildly about for
W1:86.2  I was mistaken about where it is. I was mistaken about what it is. I  will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation
W1:86.2  I will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation  will work. And I will rejoice because His plan can never fail.
W1:86.2  no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation will work. And I  will rejoice because His plan can never fail.
W1:86.4 God's plan for salvation  will save me from my perception of this. This is no exception in
W1:86.5  grievances is an attempt to prove that God's plan for salvation  will not work. Yet only His plan will work. By holding grievances, I
W1:86.5  prove that God's plan for salvation will not work. Yet only His plan  will work. By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only
W1:86.7  as I look on this. If I see grounds for grievances in this, I  will not see the grounds for my salvation. This calls for salvation,
W1:87.1 Our review today  will cover these ideas:
W1:87.2 [73] I  will there be light. I will use the power of my will today. It is not
W1:87.2 [73] I will there be light. I  will use the power of my will today. It is not my will to grope about
W1:87.2 [73] I will there be light. I will use the power of my  will today. It is not my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of
W1:87.2  there be light. I will use the power of my will today. It is not my  will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of
W1:87.2  afraid of things unseen and unreal. Light shall be my guide today. I  will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it
W1:87.2  shall be my guide today. I will follow it where it leads me, and I  will look only on what it shows me. This day I will experience the
W1:87.2  it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me. This day I  will experience the peace of true perception.
W1:87.4 This cannot hide the light I  will to see. You stand with me in light, [name]. In the light this
W1:87.4  I will to see. You stand with me in light, [name]. In the light this  will look different.
W1:87.5 [74] There is no  will but God's. I am safe today because there is no will but God's. I
W1:87.5 [74] There is no will but God's. I am safe today because there is no  will but God's. I can become afraid only when I believe that there is
W1:87.5  God's. I can become afraid only when I believe that there is another  will. I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to
W1:87.5  attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. Today I  will recognize that all this has not occurred. I am safe because
W1:87.5  that all this has not occurred. I am safe because there is no  will but God's.
W1:87.7 Let me perceive this in accordance with the  Will of God. It is God's Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as
W1:87.7 Let me perceive this in accordance with the Will of God. It is God's  Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as well. This is part of God's
W1:87.7  you are His Son, [name], and mine as well. This is part of God's  Will for me, however I may see it.
W1:88.1 Today we  will review these ideas:
W1:89.5 [78] Let miracles replace all grievances. By this idea do I unite my  will with the Holy Spirit's and perceive them as one. By this idea do
W1:90.1 For this review we  will use these ideas:
W1:90.4  to me which I would have resolved. The miracle behind this grievance  will resolve it for me. The answer to this problem is the miracle
W1:90.5  problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. The Holy Spirit  will teach me this if I will let Him. And I will understand it is
W1:90.5  cannot be separated by time. The Holy Spirit will teach me this if I  will let Him. And I will understand it is impossible that I could
W1:90.5  by time. The Holy Spirit will teach me this if I will let Him. And I  will understand it is impossible that I could have a problem which
W1:90.6 These forms of the idea  will be useful for specific applications:
W1:90.7  to be resolved. The answer to this problem is already given me if I  will accept it. Time cannot separate this problem from its solution.
W1:91.1  to see. It is only your awareness of miracles that is affected. You  will see them in the light; you will not see them in the dark.
W1:91.1  of miracles that is affected. You will see them in the light; you  will not see them in the dark.
W1:91.4  realize how great this strength, your doubts would vanish. Today we  will devote ourselves to the attempt to let you feel this strength.
W1:91.4  strength in you which makes all miracles within your easy reach, you  will not doubt. The miracles your sense of weakness hides will leap
W1:91.4  reach, you will not doubt. The miracles your sense of weakness hides  will leap into awareness as you feel the strength in you.
W1:91.5  goes to what you want, and you instruct your mind accordingly. Your  will remains your teacher, and your will has all the strength to do
W1:91.5  your mind accordingly. Your will remains your teacher, and your  will has all the strength to do what it desires. You can escape the
W1:91.12  faith. Try to remove your faith from it, if only for a moment. You  will become accustomed to keeping faith with the more worthy in you
W1:91.13  strength of God and all His thoughts. It is from Them your strength  will come. It is through Their strong support that you will feel the
W1:91.13  your strength will come. It is through Their strong support that you  will feel the strength in you. They are united with you in this
W1:91.13  you share a purpose like Their own. Theirs is the light in which you  will see miracles because Their strength is yours. Their strength
W1:92.6 Truth is a savior and can only  will for happiness and peace for everyone. It gives its strength to
W1:92.6  is shared that it may bring to all the miracle in which they  will unite in purpose and forgiveness and in love.
W1:92.9 The strength in you  will offer you the light and guide your seeing, so you do not dwell
W1:92.10  this meeting. Let yourself be brought unto your Self. Its strength  will be the light in which the gift of sight is given you. Leave,
W1:92.10  is given you. Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and we  will practice seeing in the light, closing the body's eyes and asking
W1:92.11 Morning and evening we  will practice thus. After the morning meeting, we will use the day in
W1:92.11  and evening we will practice thus. After the morning meeting, we  will use the day in preparation for the time at night when we will
W1:92.11  we will use the day in preparation for the time at night when we  will meet again in hope and trust. Let us repeat as often as we can
W1:93.3  thoughts are meaningless. These thoughts are not according to God's  Will. These weird beliefs He does not share with you. This is enough
W1:93.4  and peace abide in you? Your image of yourself cannot withstand the  Will of God. You think that this is death, but it is life. You think
W1:93.5  power can this self you made possess when it would contradict the  Will of God?
W1:93.7  and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and  will forever be exactly as you were created. Light and joy and peace
W1:93.8  if done for the first five minutes of every waking hour, we  will begin by stating the truth about our creation:
W1:94.2  strong in the sinlessness in which you were created and in which you  will remain throughout eternity.
W1:94.3 Today we  will again devote the first five minutes of each waking hour to the
W1:94.6  in silent expectancy for the truth. God has Himself promised that it  will be revealed to all who ask for it. You are asking now. You
W1:94.11 Make every effort to do the hourly exercises today. Each one you do  will be a giant stride toward your release and a milestone in
W1:95.3 We  will attempt today to be aware of only what can hear and see and what
W1:95.3  aware of only what can hear and see and what makes perfect sense. We  will again direct our exercises towards reaching your One Self, which
W1:95.7 We  will therefore keep to the five minutes an hour practice periods for
W1:95.7  to omit as few as possible. Using the first five minutes of the hour  will be particularly helpful since it imposes firmer structure. Do
W1:95.10 This tolerance for weakness  will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay our
W1:95.12 This is the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we  will affirm this truth again and try to reach the place in you in
W1:95.17  One Self, in perfect harmony with all there is and all that there  will be. You are One Self, the holy Son of God, united with your
W1:95.17  with your brothers in this Self, united with your Father in His  Will.
W1:95.19  to all the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you  will try today. Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be
W1:96.1  solutions, and none of them has worked. The opposites you see in you  will never be compatible. But one exists.
W1:96.2  be accepted if you would be saved. Until you have accepted this, you  will attempt endless lists of goals you cannot reach; a senseless
W1:96.2  one as futile as the one before and failing as the next one surely  will.
W1:96.9 We  will attempt today to find this thought, whose presence in your mind
W1:96.9  speaks to you from your One Self. Our hourly five minute practicing  will be a search for Him within your mind. Salvation comes from this
W1:96.10  and what your mind can do, restored to it and free to serve its  will.
W1:96.15 If you succeed, the thoughts that come to you  will tell you you are saved and that your mind has found the function
W1:96.15  your mind has found the function that it sought to lose. Your Self  will welcome it and give it peace. Restored in strength, it will
W1:96.15  Self will welcome it and give it peace. Restored in strength, it  will again flow out from Spirit to the Spirit in all things created
W1:96.15  the Spirit in all things created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind  will bless all things. Confusion done, you are restored, for you have
W1:96.16  while. Be not dismayed by this. The joy your Self experiences it  will save for you, and it will yet be yours in full awareness. Every
W1:96.16  by this. The joy your Self experiences it will save for you, and it  will yet be yours in full awareness. Every time you spend five
W1:96.17  growing store. And all of it is given everyone who asks for it and  will accept the gift. Think, then, how much is given unto you to give
W1:97.1  the truth. Practice this truth today as often as you can, for it  will bring your mind from conflict to the quiet fields of peace. No
W1:97.4  and count on Him Who promised to lay timelessness beside them. He  will offer all His strength to every little effort which you make.
W1:97.6 The Holy Spirit  will be glad to take five minutes of each hour from your hands and
W1:97.6  around this aching world, where pain and misery appear to rule. He  will not overlook one open mind that will accept the healing gift
W1:97.6  and misery appear to rule. He will not overlook one open mind that  will accept the healing gift they bring, and He will lay them
W1:97.6  one open mind that will accept the healing gift they bring, and He  will lay them everywhere He knows they will be welcome. And they will
W1:97.6  gift they bring, and He will lay them everywhere He knows they  will be welcome. And they will increase in healing power each time
W1:97.6  He will lay them everywhere He knows they will be welcome. And they  will increase in healing power each time someone accepts them as his
W1:97.7 Thus  will your gift to Him be multiplied a thousand-fold and tens of
W1:97.7  and tens of thousands more. And when it is returned to you, it  will surpass in might the little gift you gave as much as does the
W1:97.7  tiny gleam a firefly makes an uncertain moment, and goes out. Yet  will the steady brilliance of this light remain, and leads you out of
W1:97.7  brilliance of this light remain, and leads you out of darkness, nor  will you be able to forget the way again.
W1:97.10 Expressed through you, the Holy Spirit  will accept this gift which you received of Him, increase its power,
W1:97.11 Offer each practice period today gladly to Him. And He  will speak to you, reminding you that you are Spirit, one with Him
W1:98.1  on but one side today. We side with truth and let illusions go. We  will not vacillate between the two but take a firm position with the
W1:98.1  ourselves to truth today and to salvation as God planned it be. We  will not argue it is something else; we will not seek for it where it
W1:98.1  as God planned it be. We will not argue it is something else; we  will not seek for it where it is not. In gladness we accept it as it
W1:98.3  threats without reality. They rest in quiet certainty that they  will do what it is given them to do. They do not doubt their own
W1:98.3  They do not doubt their own ability because they know their function  will be filled completely in the perfect time and place. They took
W1:98.3  in the perfect time and place. They took the stand which we  will take today that we may share their certainty and thus increase
W1:98.4 They  will be with us—all who took the stand we take today will gladly
W1:98.4 They will be with us—all who took the stand we take today  will gladly offer us all that they learned and every gain they made.
W1:98.4  they learned and every gain they made. Those still uncertain too  will join with us and, borrowing our certainty, will make it stronger
W1:98.4  still uncertain too will join with us and, borrowing our certainty,  will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn will hear the
W1:98.4  certainty, will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn  will hear the call we heard and answer it, when they have come to
W1:98.7 Each hour today give Him your tiny gift of but five minutes. He  will give the words you use in practicing today's idea the deep
W1:98.7  idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack. His words  will join with yours and make each repetition of today's idea a total
W1:98.8 His confidence in you  will bring the light to all the words you say, and you will go beyond
W1:98.8  in you will bring the light to all the words you say, and you  will go beyond their sound to what they really mean. Today you
W1:98.9 I  will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
W1:98.10 In each five minutes that you spend with Him, He  will accept your words and give them back to you all bright with
W1:98.10  you all bright with faith and confidence so strong and steady they  will light the world with hope and gladness. Do not lose one chance
W1:98.11 Give Him the words, and He  will do the rest. He will enable you to understand your special
W1:98.11 Give Him the words, and He will do the rest. He  will enable you to understand your special function. He will open up
W1:98.11  the rest. He will enable you to understand your special function. He  will open up the way to happiness, and peace and trust will be His
W1:98.11  function. He will open up the way to happiness, and peace and trust  will be His gifts, His answer to your words. He will respond with all
W1:98.11  and peace and trust will be His gifts, His answer to your words. He  will respond with all His faith and joy and certainty that what you
W1:98.11  His faith and joy and certainty that what you say is true. And you  will have conviction then of Him Who knows the function that you have
W1:98.11  Who knows the function that you have on earth as well as Heaven. He  will be with you each practice period you share with Him, exchanging
W1:98.12  time be spent in happy preparation for the next five minutes you  will spend again with Him. Repeat today's idea while you wait for the
W1:98.13  the part which He would have you take and help you fill, and He  will make you sure you want this choice, which He has made with you
W1:99.1  that needs corrective change, something apart or different from the  Will of God. Thus do both terms imply the thought of the impossible
W1:99.5  thing must still be true—God still is Love, and this is not His  Will.
W1:99.8  is my only function here. God still is Love, and this is not His  Will.
W1:99.9 You who  will yet work miracles, be sure you practice well the idea for today.
W1:99.9  lies. Your Father loves you. All the world of pain is not His  Will. Forgive yourself the thought He wanted this for you. Then let
W1:99.9  places of your mind which thought the thoughts that never were His  Will.
W1:99.10  make them real by hiding them from Him. Let in the light, and you  will look upon no obstacle to what He wills for you. Open your
W1:99.11  spots and shine through them to join them to the rest. It is God's  Will your mind be one with His. It is God's Will that He has but one
W1:99.11  to the rest. It is God's Will your mind be one with His. It is God's  Will that He has but one Son. It is God's Will that His one Son is
W1:99.11  one with His. It is God's Will that He has but one Son. It is God's  Will that His one Son is you.
W1:99.17  is my only function here. God still is Love, and this is not His  Will.
W1:100.2 God's  Will for you is perfect happiness. Why should you choose to go
W1:100.2  you is perfect happiness. Why should you choose to go against His  Will? The part that He has saved for you to take in working out His
W1:100.2  to let His plan be understood by those to whom He sends you. They  will see their function in your shining face and hear God calling to
W1:100.4  They are the proof that God wills perfect happiness for all who  will accept their Father's gifts as theirs.
W1:100.5 We  will not let ourselves be sad today. For if we do, we fail to take
W1:100.6 Today we  will attempt to understand joy is our function here. If you are sad,
W1:100.7  who looks on you and sees His message in your happy face. We  will prepare ourselves for this today in our five minute practice
W1:100.7  periods by feeling happiness arise in us according to our Father's  Will and ours.
W1:100.9  us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the world God's  Will for us. It is your function that you find it here and that you
W1:100.10 He  will be there. And you can reach Him now. What could you rather look
W1:100.10  keep you from success when He Who calls to you is God Himself? He  will be there. You are essential to His plan. You are His messenger
W1:101.1 Today we  will continue with the theme of happiness. This is a key idea in
W1:101.2  and it is this they ask for, for they know it waits for them and it  will seek them out and find them somewhere, sometime, in some form
W1:101.2  they owe to God. They would escape Him in their fear. And yet He  will pursue, and they cannot escape.
W1:101.3  never be escaped if sin is real. Salvation must be feared, for it  will kill but slowly, taking everything away before it grants the
W1:101.5  teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin  will never happen, for it has no cause. Accept Atonement with an open
W1:101.6  as we can today because it is the basis for today's idea. God's  Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no sin, and
W1:101.7 Fear not the  Will of God. But turn to it in confidence that it will set you free
W1:101.7 Fear not the Will of God. But turn to it in confidence that it  will set you free from all the consequences sin has wrought in
W1:101.8 God's  Will for me is perfect happiness. There is no sin; it has no
W1:101.9  periods, and then attempt again to find the joy these thoughts  will introduce into your mind. Give these five minutes gladly to
W1:101.11 God's  Will for me is perfect happiness. This is the truth because there is
W1:102.2  You have been slave to nothing. Be you free today to join the happy  Will of God.
W1:102.3 For several days we  will continue to devote our longer practice periods to exercises
W1:102.3  periods to exercises planned to help you reach the happiness God's  Will has placed in you. Here is your home, and here your safety is.
W1:102.4 Begin the longer practice periods today with this acceptance of God's  Will for you:
W1:102.5 I share God's  Will for happiness for me, and I accept it as my function now.
W1:102.6  to find it when you learn it is your choice and that you share God's  Will.
W1:102.7  as your one function. And be sure that you are joining with God's  Will in doing this.
W1:103.3 This basic error we  will try again to bring to truth today and teach ourselves:
W1:103.6  what you expect to take the place of pain. God being Love, it  will be given you. Bolster this expectation frequently throughout the
W1:104.2  His are the gifts which we inherited before time was and which  will still be ours when time has passed into eternity.
W1:104.3  we need not wait to have them. They belong to us today. Therefore we  will to have them now and know in choosing them in place of what we
W1:104.3  and know in choosing them in place of what we made we but unite our  will with what God wills and recognize the same as being one.
W1:104.8 So do we clear the way for Him today by simply recognizing that His  Will is done already and that joy and peace belong to us as His
W1:104.8  already and that joy and peace belong to us as His eternal gifts. We  will not let ourselves lose sight of them between the times we come
W1:104.8  times we come to seek for them where He has laid them. This reminder  will we bring to mind as often as we can:
W1:105.1 God's peace and joy are yours. Today we  will accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we will try to
W1:105.1  yours. Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to us. And we  will try to understand these gifts increase as we receive them. They
W1:105.4 Accept God's peace and joy, and you  will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts will
W1:105.4  and you will learn a different way of looking at a gift. God's gifts  will never lessen when they are given away. They but increase
W1:105.6  joy as yours. Let Him complete Himself as He defines completion. You  will understand that what completes Him must complete His Son as
W1:105.6  No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace today, and He  will thank you for your gift to Him.
W1:105.7 Today our practice periods  will start a little differently. Begin today by thinking of those
W1:106.1 If you  will lay aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call;
W1:106.1  aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call; if you  will not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing that you
W1:106.1  its petty gifts which give you nothing that you really want; if you  will listen with an open mind, which has not told you what salvation
W1:106.1  an open mind, which has not told you what salvation is; then you  will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong in
W1:106.4  dreamt or wished for in your dreams. His miracles are true. They  will not fade when dreaming ends. They end the dream instead and last
W1:106.6  to speak to all the multitudes who wait to hear the Word that He  will speak today. Be ready for salvation. It is here and will today
W1:106.6  that He will speak today. Be ready for salvation. It is here and  will today be given unto you. And you will learn your function from
W1:106.6  for salvation. It is here and will today be given unto you. And you  will learn your function from the One Who chose it in your Father's
W1:106.7 Listen today, and you  will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the world through
W1:106.7 Listen today, and you will hear a Voice Which  will resound throughout the world through you. The Bringer of all
W1:106.7  it ends; when everything is yours, and everything is given away, it  will remain with you forever. And the lesson has been learned.
W1:106.9 I  will be still and listen to the truth. What does it mean to give and
W1:106.10  is one whose answer has been waiting long to be received by you. It  will begin the ministry for which you came and which will free the
W1:106.10  by you. It will begin the ministry for which you came and which  will free the world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the
W1:106.11  in listening, a thousand minds are opened to the truth. And they  will hear the holy Word you hear. And when the hour is past, you will
W1:106.11  will hear the holy Word you hear. And when the hour is past, you  will again release a thousand more who pause to ask that truth be
W1:107.3  not more than just the faintest intimation of the state your mind  will rest in when the truth has come.
W1:107.5  the doubts that the appearances the world presents engender. They  will merely blow away when truth corrects the errors in your mind.
W1:107.8 Today belongs to truth. Give truth its due, and it  will give you yours. You were not meant to suffer and to die. Your
W1:107.11 Truth  will correct all errors in your mind which tell you you could be
W1:107.12 Truth  will correct all errors in my mind, and I will rest in Him Who is my
W1:107.12 Truth will correct all errors in my mind, and I  will rest in Him Who is my Self.
W1:107.13 Then let Him lead you gently to the truth which  will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil that you
W1:107.13  will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil that you  will return to the familiar world reluctantly.
W1:107.14 And yet you  will be glad to look again upon this world. For you will bring with
W1:107.14 And yet you will be glad to look again upon this world. For you  will bring with you the promise of the changes which the truth that
W1:107.14  you the promise of the changes which the truth that goes with you  will carry to the world. They will increase with every gift you give
W1:107.14  which the truth that goes with you will carry to the world. They  will increase with every gift you give of five small minutes, and the
W1:107.14  give of five small minutes, and the errors that surround the world  will be corrected as you let them be corrected in your mind.
W1:107.15  for today. Each time you tell yourself with confidence, “Truth  will correct all errors in my mind,” you speak for all the world and
W1:108.1  thoughts into one concept which is wholly true? Even that one  will disappear because the Thought behind it will appear instead, to
W1:108.1  true? Even that one will disappear because the Thought behind it  will appear instead, to take its place. And now we are at peace
W1:108.5 One Thought, completely unified,  will serve to unify all thought. This is the same as saying one
W1:108.5  to unify all thought. This is the same as saying one correction  will suffice for all correction or that to forgive one brother wholly
W1:108.6  to other areas of doubt and double vision. And from there it  will extend and finally arrive at the one thought Which underlies
W1:108.7 Today we practice with the special case of giving and receiving. We  will use this simple lesson in the obvious because it has results we
W1:108.7  it has results we cannot miss. To give is to receive. Today we  will attempt to offer peace to everyone and see how quickly peace
W1:108.9 To give and to receive are one in truth. I  will receive what I am giving now.
W1:108.12  then pause a while, expecting to receive the gift you gave, and it  will come to you in the amount in which you gave it. You will find
W1:108.12  and it will come to you in the amount in which you gave it. You  will find you have exact return, for this is what you asked. It might

W1:108.13  very simple lesson for today will teach you much. Effect and cause  will be far better understood from this time on, and we will make
W1:108.13  and cause will be far better understood from this time on, and we  will make much faster progress now. Think of the exercises for today
W1:109.1  seem to look on danger and on sorrow. And we have the thought that  will answer our asking with what we request.
W1:109.2 “I rest in God.” This thought  will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the
W1:109.2  of suffering for all the world and everyone who ever came and yet  will come to linger for a while. Here is the thought in which the Son
W1:109.3 “I rest in God.” Completely undismayed this thought  will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past
W1:109.3  There is no problem which it cannot solve. And no appearance but  will turn to truth before the eyes of you who rest in God.
W1:109.4  intrude on you. You call to all to join you in your rest, and they  will hear and come to you because you rest in God. They will not hear
W1:109.4  and they will hear and come to you because you rest in God. They  will not hear another voice but yours because you gave your voice to
W1:109.6  be still and thankfully accept its healing. No more fearful dreams  will come now that you rest in God. Take time today to slip away from
W1:109.8  you rest today the world is nearer waking. And the time when rest  will be the only thing there is comes closer to all worn and tired
W1:109.8  worn and tired minds, too weary now to go their way alone. And they  will hear the bird begin to sing and see the stream begin to flow
W1:109.9  from your rest, to draw them to their rest along with you. You  will be faithful to your trust today, forgetting no one, bringing
W1:110.1 We  will repeat today's idea from time to time. For this one thought
W1:110.2  complete correction heal your mind and give you perfect vision which  will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any time or
W1:110.10 Seek Him today, and find Him. He  will be your savior from all idols you have made. For when you find
W1:110.10  your savior from all idols you have made. For when you find Him you  will understand how worthless are your idols and how false the images
W1:110.11 We  will remember Him throughout the day with thankful hearts and loving
W1:110.11  who meet with us today, for it is thus that we remember Him. And we  will say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self, the
W1:R3.1 Our third review begins today. We  will review two of the last 20 ideas each day until we have reviewed
W1:R3.1  of the last 20 ideas each day until we have reviewed them all. We  will observe a special format for these practice periods, which you
W1:R3.2 Learning  will not be hampered when you miss a practice period because it is
W1:R3.3 But learning  will be hampered when you skip a practice period because you are
W1:R3.6  your mind and let it use them as it chooses. Give it faith that it  will use them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who

W1:R3.6  means the Holy Spirit uses will not fail. The wisdom of your mind  will come to your assistance. Give direction at the start, and then
W1:R3.7  them to your mind in that same trust and confidence and faith. It  will not fail. It is the Holy Spirit's chosen means for your
W1:R3.13 Each day's review assignment  will conclude with a restatement of the thought to use each hour and
W1:R3.13  well. Forget them not. This second chance with each of these ideas  will bring such large advances that we come from these reviews with
W1:112.3 [94] I am as God created me. I  will remain forever as I was, Created by the Changeless like Himself.
W1:114.3 [98] I  will accept my part in God's plan for salvation. What can my function
W1:114.3  but to accept the Word of God, Who has created me, for what I am and  will forever be?
W1:114.7 I  will accept my part in God's plan for salvation.
W1:116.2 [101] God's  Will for me is perfect happiness. God's Will is perfect happiness for
W1:116.2 [101] God's Will for me is perfect happiness. God's  Will is perfect happiness for me. And I can suffer but from the
W1:116.2  for me. And I can suffer but from the belief there is another  will apart from His.
W1:116.3 [102] I share God's  Will for happiness for me. I share my Father's Will for me, His Son.
W1:116.3 [102] I share God's Will for happiness for me. I share my Father's  Will for me, His Son. What He has given me is all I want. What He has
W1:116.5 God's  Will for me is perfect happiness.
W1:116.7 I share God's  Will for happiness for me.
W1:118.2 [105] God's peace and joy are mine. Today I  will accept God's peace and joy in glad exchange for all the
W1:119.2 [107] Truth  will correct all errors in my mind. I am mistaken when I think I can
W1:119.3 [108] To give and to receive are one in truth. I  will forgive all things today, that I may learn how to accept the
W1:119.5 Truth  will correct all errors in my mind.
W1:121.7  that it has been saved from hell. And as you teach salvation, you  will learn.
W1:121.8 Yet all your teaching and your learning  will be not of you, but of the Teacher Who was given you to show the
W1:121.8  today to take the key to happiness and use it on your own behalf. We  will devote ten minutes in the morning and at night another ten to
W1:121.9  mind does not believe that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we  will try to learn today that they are one through practicing
W1:121.9  consider as a friend. And as you learn to see them both as one, we  will extend the lesson to yourself and see that their escape included
W1:121.10  the form your anger takes. You probably have chosen him already. He  will do.
W1:121.14 Forgiveness is the key to happiness. I  will awaken from the dream that I am mortal, fallible, and full of
W1:122.4  brings? Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that  will answer everything? Here is the perfect answer, given to
W1:122.5 Here is the answer! Seek for it no more. You  will not find another one instead. God's plan for your salvation
W1:122.6  waits for you within? Forgive and be forgiven. As you give, you  will receive. There is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son
W1:122.8  truths, forever newly born, arise in your awareness. What you  will remember then can never be described. Yet your forgiveness
W1:122.9  we undertake our practicing today with hope and faith that this  will be the day salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we
W1:122.9  today with hope and faith that this will be the day salvation  will be ours. Earnestly and gladly will we seek for it today, aware
W1:122.9  this will be the day salvation will be ours. Earnestly and gladly  will we seek for it today, aware we hold the key within our hands,
W1:122.11  answered, and what your acceptance of the answer brings. Today it  will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness offers and the joy
W1:122.12 Before the light you  will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you
W1:122.12 Before the light you will receive today the world  will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world arise
W1:122.12  will receive today the world will fade until it disappears, and you  will see another world arise you have no words to picture. Now we
W1:123.2 A day devoted now to gratitude  will add the benefit of some insight into the real extent of all the
W1:123.3 Give thanks that He has not abandoned you and that His Love forever  will remain shining on you, forever without change. Give thanks as
W1:123.5  In thanking Him the thanks are yours as well. An unheard message  will not save the world, however mighty be the Voice that speaks,
W1:123.6  back a thousand and a hundred thousand more than they were given. He  will bless your gifts by sharing them with you, and so they grow in
W1:123.7  thanks and offer yours to Him for 15 minutes twice today. And you  will realize to Whom you offer thanks, and Whom He thanks as you are
W1:123.7  He thanks as you are thanking Him. This holy half an hour given Him  will be returned to you in terms of years for every second, power to
W1:123.8 Receive His thanks, and you  will understand how lovingly He holds you in His Mind, how deep and
W1:124.1 Today we  will again give thanks for our Identity in God. Our home is safe,
W1:124.2  as we walk the world a little while. And those who come to follow us  will recognize the way because the light we carry stays behind, yet
W1:124.3  created, smiles on us and offers us the happiness we gave. Today we  will not doubt His Love for us nor question His protection and His
W1:124.8  we give no rules nor special words to guide your meditation. We  will trust God's Voice to speak as He sees fit today, certain He will
W1:124.8  We will trust God's Voice to speak as He sees fit today, certain He  will not fail. Abide with Him this half an hour. He will do the rest.
W1:124.8  certain He will not fail. Abide with Him this half an hour. He  will do the rest.
W1:124.9 Your benefit  will not be less if you believe that nothing happens. You may not be
W1:124.9  not be ready to accept the gain today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it  will come to you, nor will you fail to recognize it when it dawns
W1:124.9  the gain today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it will come to you, nor  will you fail to recognize it when it dawns with certainty upon your
W1:124.9  it when it dawns with certainty upon your mind. This half an hour  will be framed in gold, with every minute like a diamond set around
W1:124.9  every minute like a diamond set around the mirror that this exercise  will offer you. And you will see Christ's face upon it, in reflection
W1:124.9  set around the mirror that this exercise will offer you. And you  will see Christ's face upon it, in reflection of your own.
W1:124.10 Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you  will see your own transfiguration in the glass this holy half an hour
W1:124.10  see your own transfiguration in the glass this holy half an hour  will hold out to you to look upon yourself. When you are ready, you
W1:124.10  will hold out to you to look upon yourself. When you are ready, you  will find it there within your mind and waiting to be found. You will
W1:124.10  you will find it there within your mind and waiting to be found. You  will remember then the thought to which you gave this half an hour,
W1:124.11 Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you  will look into this glass and understand the sinless light you see
W1:124.11  this half hour as your gift to God, in certainty that His return  will be a sense of love you cannot understand, a joy too deep for you
W1:124.11  yet you can be sure someday, perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, you  will understand and comprehend and see.
W1:125.2 This world  will change through you. No other means can save it, for God's plan
W1:125.2  and at his side to lead him surely to his Father's house by his own  will, forever free as God's. He is not led by force, but only love.
W1:125.3 In stillness we  will hear God's Voice today without intrusion of our petty thoughts,
W1:125.3  our personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy Word. We  will not judge ourselves today, for what we are cannot be judged. We
W1:125.3  the world has laid upon the Son of God. It knows him not. Today we  will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the Word of God.
W1:125.4  mind where He abides forever in the holiness which He created and  will never leave.
W1:125.5  of Him regardless of his dreams, regardless of his madness that his  will is not his own.
W1:125.8  Word He speaks. It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of  will and purpose, with no separation nor division in the single Mind
W1:125.9 Only be quiet. You  will need no rule but this to let your practicing today lift you
W1:125.9  free your vision from the body's eyes. Only be still and listen. You  will hear the Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in His
W1:125.9  eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear the Word in which the  Will of God the Son joins in His Father's Will, at one with It, with

W1:126.1  of the world, is crucial to the thought reversal which this course  will bring about. If you believed this statement, there would be no
W1:126.8  to understand the truth that giver and receiver are the same. You  will need help to make this meaningful because it is so alien to the
W1:126.9  takes its proper place in your priorities. It is the thought that  will release your mind from every bar to what forgiveness means and
W1:126.10  Be glad to hear the Voice of truth and healing speak to you, and you  will understand the words He speaks and recognize He speaks your
W1:126.12  The Help I need to learn that this is true is with me now. And I  will trust in Him.
W1:126.13  mind to His correction and His Love. And what you hear of Him you  will believe, for what He gives will be received by you.
W1:126.13  Love. And what you hear of Him you will believe, for what He gives  will be received by you.
W1:127.8 Call to your Father, certain that His Voice  will answer. He Himself has promised this. And He Himself will place
W1:127.8  His Voice will answer. He Himself has promised this. And He Himself  will place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you give up a
W1:127.8  belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what love means. He  will shine through your idle thoughts today and help you understand
W1:127.8  and help you understand the truth of love. In loving gentleness, He  will abide with you as you allow His Voice to teach love's meaning to
W1:127.8  Voice to teach love's meaning to your clean and open mind. And He  will bless the lesson with His Love.
W1:127.10 The world in infancy is newly born. And we  will watch it grow in strength and health to shed its blessing upon
W1:127.11 We  will remember them throughout the day because we cannot leave a part
W1:128.2  you value here is but a chain that binds you to the world, and it  will serve no other end but this. For everything must serve the
W1:128.6  chains and let it seek the level where it finds itself at home. It  will be grateful to be free a while. It knows where it belongs. But
W1:128.6  free a while. It knows where it belongs. But free its wings, and it  will fly in sureness and in joy to join its holy purpose. Let it rest
W1:128.7  three times today. And when your eyes are opened afterwards, you  will not value anything you see as much as when you looked at it
W1:128.7  as when you looked at it before. Your whole perspective on the world  will shift by just a little every time you let your mind escape its
W1:128.9 This  will not tempt me to delay myself. The world I see has nothing that I
W1:129.1  for unless you see that there is something else to hope for, you  will only be depressed. Our emphasis is not on giving up the world
W1:129.2  time to think once more about the value of this world. Perhaps you  will concede there is no loss in letting go all thought of value
W1:129.3  all things you really want and know they have no ending, and they  will remain exactly as you want them throughout time?
W1:129.4 Yet even they  will be exchanged at last for what we cannot speak of, for you go
W1:129.5  sets forth to keep you prisoner there. Value them not, and they  will disappear. Esteem them, and they will seem real to you.
W1:129.5  Value them not, and they will disappear. Esteem them, and they  will seem real to you.
W1:130.5 Today we  will not seek for them nor waste this day in seeking not what cannot
W1:130.6 Today we  will attempt no compromise where none is possible. The world you see
W1:130.7  ends all compromise and doubt and go beyond them all as one. We  will not make a thousand meaningless distinctions, nor attempt to
W1:130.10 God  will be there. For you have called upon the great unfailing Power Who
W1:130.10  be there. For you have called upon the great unfailing Power Who  will take this giant step with you in gratitude. Nor will you fail to
W1:130.10  Power Who will take this giant step with you in gratitude. Nor  will you fail to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and
W1:130.10  to see His thanks expressed in tangible perception and in truth. You  will not doubt what you will look upon. For though it is perception,
W1:130.10  in tangible perception and in truth. You will not doubt what you  will look upon. For though it is perception, it is not the kind of
W1:130.10  kind of seeing that your eyes alone have ever seen before. And you  will know God's strength upheld as you made this choice.
W1:130.12  and you have damned your eyes and cursed your sight, and what you  will behold is hell indeed. Yet the release of Heaven still remains
W1:131.4 Yet searching is inevitable here. For this you came, and you  will surely do the thing you came for. But the world cannot dictate
W1:131.6  Creator nor affect His perfect, timeless, and unchanging Love. You  will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this will fall away, yet
W1:131.6  unchanging Love. You will find Heaven. Everything you seek but this  will fall away, yet not because it has been taken from you. It will
W1:131.6  this will fall away, yet not because it has been taken from you. It  will go because you do not want it. You will reach the goal you
W1:131.6  has been taken from you. It will go because you do not want it. You  will reach the goal you really want as certainly as God created you
W1:131.7  cannot be, if it is where God wills His Son to be. How could the  Will of God be in the past or yet to happen? What He wills is now,
W1:131.9  Himself established him in Heaven? Could he lose what the Eternal  Will has given him to be his home forever? Let us not try longer to
W1:131.9  him to be his home forever? Let us not try longer to impose an alien  will upon God's single purpose. He is here because He wills to be,
W1:131.10 Today we  will not choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the Son of God
W1:131.10  place of truth. How could the Son of God make time to take away the  Will of God? He thus denies himself and contradicts what has no
W1:131.11  asks to reach the truth, and it is truth we ask to reach today. We  will devote ten minutes to this goal three times today, and we will
W1:131.11  We will devote ten minutes to this goal three times today, and we  will ask to see the rising of the real world to replace the foolish
W1:131.16  understand all things you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps,  will make you pause before you realize the world you see before you
W1:131.17  of gladness, for we come to the appointed time and place where you  will find the goal of all your searching here and all the seeking of
W1:132.2  changed the source of all ideas you think or ever thought or yet  will think.
W1:132.7  go as far as he can let himself be led along the road to truth. He  will return and go still farther, or perhaps step back a while and
W1:132.8  there is no world and can accept the lesson now. Their readiness  will bring the lesson to them in some form which they can understand
W1:132.8  be the truth, and yet it clearly contradicts the world. And some  will find it in this course and in the exercises that we do today.
W1:132.14  a shadow briefly laid upon a dying world. Release your mind, and you  will look upon a world released.
W1:132.19  near by as you send out these thoughts to bless the world. But you  will sense your own release, although you may not fully understand as
W1:133.1  already learned, to bring him back to practical concerns. This we  will do today. We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas
W1:133.1  to bring him back to practical concerns. This we will do today. We  will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas but dwell instead
W1:133.6  the tests by which you can distinguish everything from nothing, you  will make the better choice.
W1:133.7 First, if you choose a thing that  will not last forever, what you chose is valueless. A temporary value
W1:133.8 Next, if you choose to take a thing away from someone else, you  will have nothing left. This is because when you deny his right to
W1:133.8  his right to everything, you have denied your own. You therefore  will not recognize the things you really have, denying they are
W1:133.10  for them. Here is deception doubled, for the one who is deceived  will not perceive that he has merely failed to gain. He will believe
W1:133.10  is deceived will not perceive that he has merely failed to gain. He  will believe that he has served the ego's hidden goals. And though he
W1:133.14  come with nothing to find everything and claim it as their own. We  will attempt to reach this state today, with self-deception laid
W1:133.15 Our two extended practice periods of 15 minutes  will begin with this:
W1:133.16 I  will not value what is valueless, and only what has value do I seek,
W1:133.18 I  will not value what is valueless, for what is valuable belongs to me.
W1:134.10 Thus  will you see alternatives for choice in terms which render choosing
W1:134.14  the footsteps lightening up the way for all our brothers, who  will follow us to the reality we share with them.
W1:134.17 Then choose one brother as He  will direct, and catalogue his “sins,” as one by one they cross your
W1:134.18  If you have been practicing thus far in willingness and honesty, you  will begin to sense a lifting up, a lightening of weight across your
W1:134.19 Forgiveness should be practiced through the day, for there  will be so many times when you forget its meaning and attack
W1:134.20  forgiveness as it is. Should I accuse myself of doing this? I  will not lay this chain upon myself.
W1:135.8  is in need of no defense. This cannot be too often emphasized. It  will be strong and healthy if the mind does not abuse it by assigning
W1:135.10  and the lacks from which you think the body must be saved. You  will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions. And you
W1:135.10  will not see the mind as separate from bodily conditions. And you  will impose upon the body all the pain that comes from the conception
W1:135.11 These are the thoughts in need of healing, and the body  will respond with health when they have been corrected and replaced
W1:135.14  capacity is health assured. For everything the mind employs for this  will function flawlessly and with the strength that has been given it
W1:135.16  setting up control of future happenings. It does not think that it  will be provided for unless it makes its own provisions. Time becomes
W1:135.17  for its future goals. Its past experience directs its choice of what  will happen. And it does not see that here and now is everything it
W1:135.21  a light which Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its own. And it  will lead you on in ways appointed for your happiness according to
W1:135.21  to the ancient plan begun when time was born. Your followers  will join their light with yours, and it will be increased until the
W1:135.21  was born. Your followers will join their light with yours, and it  will be increased until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly
W1:135.21  will be increased until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly  will our brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed
W1:135.22 We  will anticipate that time today with present confidence, for this is
W1:135.22  present confidence, for this is part of what was planned for us. We  will be sure that everything we need is given us for our
W1:135.22  us for our accomplishment of this today. We make no plans for how it  will be done but realize that our defenselessness is all that is
W1:135.23  thought which blocks the truth from entering our minds. Today we  will receive instead of plan, that we may give instead of organize.
W1:135.24 If I defend myself, I am attacked. But in defenselessness, I  will be strong, and I will learn what my defenses hide.
W1:135.24  I am attacked. But in defenselessness, I will be strong, and I  will learn what my defenses hide.
W1:135.25 Nothing but that. If there are plans to make, you  will be told of them. They may not be the plans you thought were
W1:135.26 All your defenses have been aimed at not receiving what you  will receive today. And in the light and joy of simple truth, you
W1:135.26  will receive today. And in the light and joy of simple truth, you  will but wonder why you ever thought that you must be defended from
W1:135.27 He has remembered you. Today we  will remember Him. For this is Eastertime in your salvation. And you
W1:135.28  comes to you without your planning. Learn today. And all the world  will take this giant stride and celebrate your Eastertime with you.
W1:135.29 This is my Eastertime. And I would keep it holy. I  will not defend myself, because the Son of God needs no defense
W1:136.10  for the salvation of His Son opposed by a decision stronger than His  Will. His Son is dust, the Father incomplete, and chaos sits in
W1:136.12 God knows not of your plans to change His  Will. The universe remains unheeding of the laws by which you thought
W1:136.15  cease to play with folly. It is found at any time—today, if you  will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim
W1:136.15  practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim today. And we  will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth to come to us
W1:136.16 And truth  will come, for it has never been apart from us. It merely waits for
W1:136.17 Sickness is a defense against the truth. I  will accept the truth of what I am and let my mind be wholly healed
W1:136.18 Healing  will flash across your open mind as peace and truth arise to take the
W1:136.18  and truth arise to take the place of war and vain imaginings. There  will be no dark corners sickness can conceal and keep defended from
W1:136.18  can conceal and keep defended from the light of truth. There  will be no dim figures from your dreams nor their obscure and
W1:136.18  with double purposes insanely sought, remaining in your mind. It  will be healed of all the sickly wishes that it tried to authorize
W1:136.19  because the source of sickness has been opened to relief. And you  will recognize you practiced well by this—the body should not feel
W1:136.19  the body should not feel at all. If you have been successful, there  will be no sense of feeling ill or feeling well, of pain or pleasure.
W1:136.20  you gave to it. As these are laid aside, the strength the body has  will always be enough to serve all truly useful purposes. The body's
W1:136.21  you have again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity which  will attack the body, for the mind is sick. Give instant remedy
W1:137.4  is merely to accept what always was the simple truth and always  will remain exactly as it has forever been. Yet eyes accustomed to
W1:137.5  but removes illusions that have not occurred. Just as the real world  will arise to take the place of what has never been at all, healing
W1:137.7 Just as forgiveness shines away all sin and the real world  will occupy the place of what you made, so healing must replace the
W1:137.8 Healing is freedom. For it demonstrates that dreams  will not prevail against the truth. Healing is shared. And by this
W1:137.10  seem to have no contact with you healed along with you. Perhaps you  will not recognize them all, nor realize how great your offering to
W1:137.10  to you. But you are never healed alone. And legions upon legions  will receive the gift which you receive when you are healed.
W1:137.12 Would you not offer shelter to God's  Will? You but invite your Self to be at home, and can this invitation
W1:137.12  can this invitation be refused? Ask the inevitable to occur, and you  will never fail. The other choice is but to ask what cannot be to be,
W1:137.12  be to be, and this cannot succeed. Today we ask that only truth  will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing will this day go
W1:137.12  ask that only truth will occupy our minds, that thoughts of healing  will this day go forth from what is healed to what must yet be
W1:137.12  from what is healed to what must yet be healed, aware that they  will both occur as one.
W1:137.13 We  will remember, as the hour strikes, our function is to let our minds
W1:137.14 Yet must we be prepared for such a gift. And so we  will begin the day with this and give ten minutes to these thoughts
W1:137.14  day with this and give ten minutes to these thoughts with which we  will conclude today at night as well:
W1:137.16  all that was sick and offer blessing where there was attack. Nor  will we let this function be forgot as every hour of the day slips
W1:138.4  would induce. You make but one. And when that one is made, you  will perceive it was no choice at all, for truth is true and nothing
W1:138.8  and grip the mind with terror and anxiety so strong that it  will not relinquish its ideas about its own protection. It must be
W1:138.13 Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it now and  will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want.
W1:139.7 And they  will come again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn
W1:139.9  God. It is but this that we are asked to do. It is but this that we  will do today.
W1:139.10 Five minutes in the morning and at night we  will devote to dedicate our minds to our assignment for today. We
W1:139.11 I  will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me.
W1:139.14 I  will accept Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me.
W1:140.1  as beneficial. What the world perceives as therapeutic is but what  will make the body “better.” When it tries to heal the mind, it sees
W1:140.8  we seek a cure for all illusions, not another shift among them. We  will try today to find the source of healing, which is in our minds
W1:140.9 We  will not be misled today by what appears to us as sick. We go beyond
W1:140.9  and reach the source of healing from which nothing is exempt. We  will succeed to the extent to which we realize that there can never
W1:140.10  our chants and bits of magic in whatever form they took. We  will be still and listen for the Voice of healing which will cure all
W1:140.10  took. We will be still and listen for the Voice of healing which  will cure all ills as one, restoring saneness to the Son of God. No
W1:140.14 And we  will feel salvation cover us with soft protection and with peace so
W1:140.14  can disturb our minds nor offer proof to us that it is real. This  will we learn today. And we will say our prayer for healing hourly
W1:140.14  offer proof to us that it is real. This will we learn today. And we  will say our prayer for healing hourly and take a minute as the hour
W1:R4.1  the second part of learning how the truth can be applied. Today we  will begin to concentrate on readiness for what will follow next.
W1:R4.1  be applied. Today we will begin to concentrate on readiness for what  will follow next. Such is our aim for this review and for the lessons
W1:R4.1  the recent lessons and their central thoughts in such a way as  will facilitate the readiness which we would now achieve.
W1:R4.7  devoted to the preparation of your mind to learn what each idea you  will review that day can offer you in freedom and in peace. Open your
W1:R4.9 Five minutes with this thought  will be enough to set the day along the lines which God appointed and
W1:R4.9  appointed and to place His Mind in charge of all the thoughts you  will receive that day. They will not come from you alone, for they
W1:R4.9  Mind in charge of all the thoughts you will receive that day. They  will not come from you alone, for they will all be shared with Him.
W1:R4.9  will receive that day. They will not come from you alone, for they  will all be shared with Him. And so each one will bring the message
W1:R4.9  you alone, for they will all be shared with Him. And so each one  will bring the message of His Love to you, returning messages of
W1:R4.9  message of His Love to you, returning messages of yours to Him. So  will communion with the Lord of Hosts be yours, as He Himself has
W1:R4.9  has willed it be. And as His own completion joins with Him, so  will He join with you who are complete as you unite with Him and He
W1:R4.10  you the gift which He has laid in it for you to have of Him. And we  will use no format for our practicing but this:
W1:147.1 [133] I  will not value what is valueless.
W1:150.1 [139] I  will accept Atonement for myself.
W1:151.6  is to doubt yourself. Yet you must learn to doubt their evidence  will clear the way to recognize yourself and let the Voice for God
W1:151.7 He  will not tell you that your brother should be judged by what your
W1:151.10  of everything that seems to happen to you in this world. His lessons  will enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the truth. He
W1:151.10  enable you to bridge the gap between illusions and the truth. He  will remove all faith that you have placed in pain, disaster,
W1:151.10  and can behold the gentle face of Christ in all of them. You  will no longer doubt that only good can come to you who are beloved
W1:151.10  doubt that only good can come to you who are beloved of God, for He  will judge all happenings and teach the single lesson which they all
W1:151.11 He  will select the elements in them that represent the truth and
W1:151.11  and disregard those aspects which reflect but idle dreams. And He  will reinterpret all you see and all occurrences, each circumstance,
W1:151.11  from His one frame of reference, wholly unified and sure. And you  will see the love beyond the hate, the constancy in change, the pure
W1:151.12  of nothing but your Self and your Creator, Who is one with Him. So  will you see the holy face of Christ in everything and hear in
W1:151.13  and give them back to you as clean ideas that do not contradict the  Will of God.
W1:151.14 Give Him your thoughts, and He  will give them back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness
W1:151.15  you hear the Voice for God give honor to God's Son. And everyone  will share the thoughts with you which He has retranslated in your
W1:151.17 And we  will hourly remember Him Who is salvation and deliverance. As we give
W1:152.7 To think that God made chaos, contradicts His  Will, invented opposites to truth, and suffers death to triumph over
W1:152.8  place as co-creator of the universe, and all you think you made  will disappear. What rises to awareness then will be all that there
W1:152.8  all you think you made will disappear. What rises to awareness then  will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is now. And it will
W1:152.8  then will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is now. And it  will take the place of self-deceptions made but to usurp the altar to
W1:152.13 The power of decision is my own. This day I  will accept myself as what my Father's Will created me to be.
W1:152.13  is my own. This day I will accept myself as what my Father's  Will created me to be.
W1:152.14 Then  will we wait in silence, giving up all self-deceptions as we humbly
W1:152.14  ask our Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left  will come again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home to God
W1:152.15  concluding it with this same invitation to your Self. God's Voice  will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father. He will
W1:152.15  Voice will answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father. He  will substitute the peace of God for all your frantic thoughts, the

W1:153.8 We  will not play such childish games today. For our true purpose is to
W1:153.9  serenely certain of our safety now, sure of salvation; sure we  will fulfill our chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy
W1:153.11  have done. God has elected all, but few have come to realize His  Will is but their own. And while you fail to teach what you have
W1:153.11  waits and darkness holds the world in grim imprisonment. Nor  will you learn that light has come to you, and your escape has been
W1:153.11  has come to you, and your escape has been accomplished. For you  will not see the light until you offer it to all your brothers. As
W1:153.11  offer it to all your brothers. As they take it from your hands, so  will you recognize it as your own.
W1:153.15 Today we practice in a form we  will maintain for quite a while. We will begin each day by giving our
W1:153.15 Today we practice in a form we will maintain for quite a while. We  will begin each day by giving our attention to the daily thought as
W1:153.15  And as distraction ceases to arise to turn us from our purpose, we  will find that half an hour is too short a time to spend with God.
W1:153.15  find that half an hour is too short a time to spend with God. Nor  will we willingly give less at night in gratitude and joy.
W1:153.16  adds to our increasing peace, as we remember to be faithful to the  will we share with God. At times, perhaps, a minute, even less, will
W1:153.16  the will we share with God. At times, perhaps, a minute, even less,  will be the most that we can offer as the hour strikes. Sometimes we
W1:153.16  will be the most that we can offer as the hour strikes. Sometimes we  will forget. At other times the business of the world will close on
W1:153.16  Sometimes we will forget. At other times the business of the world  will close on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little while
W1:153.16  At other times the business of the world will close on us, and we  will be unable to withdraw a little while and turn our thoughts to
W1:153.17 Yet when we can, we  will observe our trust as ministers of God in hourly remembrance of
W1:153.17  of God in hourly remembrance of our mission and His Love. And we  will quietly sit by and wait on Him and listen to His Voice and learn
W1:153.18 In time, with practice, you  will never cease to think of Him and hear His loving Voice guiding
W1:153.18  His loving Voice guiding your footsteps into quiet ways where you  will walk in true defenselessness, for you will know that Heaven goes
W1:153.18  into quiet ways where you will walk in true defenselessness, for you  will know that Heaven goes with you. Nor would you keep your mind
W1:153.18  your time is spent in offering salvation to the world. Think you He  will not make this possible for you who chose to carry out His plan
W1:153.19  weakness disappear as we remember that His strength abides in us. We  will remind ourselves that He remains beside us through the day and
W1:153.20  the threat of our defenses undermine our certainty of purpose. We  will pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing will
W1:153.20  We will pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing  will now begin to take the earnestness of love to help you keep your
W1:153.21 Be not afraid nor timid. There can be no doubt that you  will reach your final goal. The ministers of God can never fail
W1:154.4  union with itself. So is its Self the one reality in which its  will and that of God are joined.
W1:154.5  the right of him who does nor ask why he has chosen those who  will receive the message that he brings. It is enough that he accept
W1:154.10 It is this joining that we undertake to recognize today. We  will not seek to keep our minds apart from Him Who speaks for us, for
W1:154.10  and the giving of God's Word, the giving and receiving of His  Will.
W1:154.11  those who wait in misery may be at last delivered. And He needs our  will united with His own, that we may be the true receivers of the
W1:154.12 Let us but learn this lesson for today: we  will not recognize what we receive until we give it. You have heard
W1:154.12  is lacking still. But this is sure—until belief is given it, you  will receive a thousand miracles and then receive a thousand more but
W1:154.12  receive a thousand miracles and then receive a thousand more but  will not know that God Himself has left no gift beyond what you
W1:154.15  and what our function is. For as we prove that we accept no  will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator will spring to
W1:154.15  we accept no will we do not share, our many gifts from our Creator  will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we will
W1:154.15  our Creator will spring to our sight and leap into our hands, and we  will understand what we received.
W1:155.1  do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet perceived the way  will recognize you also and believe that you are like them as you
W1:155.3 This is the simple choice we make today. The mad illusion  will remain awhile in evidence for those to look upon who chose to
W1:155.7 All roads  will lead to this one in the end. For sacrifice and deprivation are
W1:155.7  are paths which lead nowhere, choices for defeat, and aims which  will remain impossible. All this steps back as truth comes forth in
W1:155.10 Yet at the journey's ending there  will be no gap, no distance between truth and you. And all illusions
W1:155.10  truth and you. And all illusions walking in the way you traveled  will be gone from you as well, with nothing left to keep the truth
W1:155.11  things that pass, and miracles are purposeless, the holy Son of God  will make no journeys. There will be no wish to be illusion rather
W1:155.11  are purposeless, the holy Son of God will make no journeys. There  will be no wish to be illusion rather than the truth. And we step
W1:155.11  way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before our brothers who  will follow us.
W1:155.13  His trust has made your pathway certain and your goal secure. You  will not fail your brothers nor your Self.
W1:155.15 I  will step back and let Him lead the way, for I would walk along the
W1:157.3 Today it  will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return
W1:157.3 Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you  will return to paths of learning. Yet you have come far enough along
W1:157.3  to rise above its laws and walk into eternity a while. This you  will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed,
W1:157.4 He  will direct your practicing today, for what you ask for now is what
W1:157.4  for what you ask for now is what He wills. And having joined your  will with His this day, what you are asking must be given you.
W1:157.5  you think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience today  will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the
W1:157.6 Your body  will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to bring the
W1:157.7  all goals but this become of little worth, the world to which you  will return becomes a little closer to the end of time, a little more
W1:157.7  ways, a little nearer its deliverance. And you who bring it light  will come to see the light more sure, the vision more distinct.
W1:157.8 The time  will come when you will not return in the same form in which you now
W1:157.8 The time will come when you  will not return in the same form in which you now appear, for you
W1:157.8  will not return in the same form in which you now appear, for you  will have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose and will serve it
W1:157.8  for you will have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose and  will serve it well. Today we will embark upon a course you have not
W1:157.8  of it. Yet now it has a purpose and will serve it well. Today we  will embark upon a course you have not dreamed of. But the Holy One,
W1:157.9 Into Christ's Presence  will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining
W1:157.9  except His shining face and perfect Love. The vision of His face  will stay with you, but there will be an instant which transcends all
W1:157.9  perfect Love. The vision of His face will stay with you, but there  will be an instant which transcends all vision, even this, the
W1:157.9  which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you  will never teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the
W1:157.9  vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant and  will surely know again.
W1:158.2  that vision can. The revelation that the Father and the Son are one  will come in time to every mind. Yet is that time determined by the
W1:158.4  which does not change. The script is written. When experience  will come to end your doubting has been set. For we but see the
W1:158.5  because He has a vision He can give to anyone who asks. The Father's  Will and His are joined in knowledge. Yet there is a vision which the
W1:159.7  hearth of mercy where the suffering are healed and welcome. No one  will be turned away from this new home where his salvation waits. No
W1:160.1 Fear is a stranger to the ways of love. Identify with fear, and you  will be a stranger to yourself. And thus you are unknown to you. What
W1:160.3  yet how easy it would be to say, “This is my home. Here I belong and  will not leave because a madman says I must.” What reason is there
W1:160.6  for he has made return impossible. His way is lost except a miracle  will search him out and show him that he is no stranger now. The
W1:160.6  search him out and show him that he is no stranger now. The miracle  will come. For in his home his Self remains. It asked no stranger in
W1:160.6  asked no stranger in and took no alien thought to be Itself. And It  will call Its own unto Itself, in recognition of what is Its own.
W1:160.10  and perfect as it was established. He has not forgotten you. But you  will not remember Him until you look on all as He does. Who denies
W1:161.8 Who sees a brother as a body sees him as fear's symbol. And he  will attack because what he beholds is his own fear external to
W1:161.9  that you could scarce refrain from kneeling at his feet. Yet you  will take his hand instead, for you are like him in the sight that
W1:161.10 Attack on him is enemy to you, for you  will not perceive that in his hands is your salvation. Ask him but
W1:161.10  that in his hands is your salvation. Ask him but for this, and he  will give it to you. Ask him not to symbolize your fear. Would you
W1:161.11  we have attempted earlier. Your readiness is closer now, and you  will come today nearer Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching
W1:161.11  today nearer Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching it, you  will succeed today. And once you have succeeded, you will not be
W1:161.11  it, you will succeed today. And once you have succeeded, you  will not be willing to accept the witnesses your body's eyes call
W1:161.11  to accept the witnesses your body's eyes call forth. What you  will see will sing to you of ancient melodies you will remember. You
W1:161.11  accept the witnesses your body's eyes call forth. What you will see  will sing to you of ancient melodies you will remember. You are not
W1:161.11  forth. What you will see will sing to you of ancient melodies you  will remember. You are not forgot in Heaven. Would you not remember
W1:161.15 And He  will answer Whom you called upon, for He will hear the Voice of God
W1:161.15 And He will answer Whom you called upon, for He  will hear the Voice of God in you and answer in your own. Behold him
W1:161.16  a brother and perceive in him the symbol of your fear. And you  will see him suddenly transformed from enemy to savior, from the
W1:162.1  held firmly in the mind, would save the world. From time to time we  will repeat it, as we reach another stage in learning. It will mean
W1:162.1  to time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage in learning. It  will mean far more to you as you advance. These words are sacred, for
W1:162.2  is proclaimed and honored as it is. There is no dream these words  will not dispel, no thought of sin, and no illusion that the dream
W1:162.2  no thought of sin, and no illusion that the dream contains that  will not fade away before their might. They are the trumpet of
W1:162.2  awake in answer to its call. And those who live and hear this sound  will never look on death.
W1:162.3  because he sleeps and wakens with the truth before him always. He  will save the world because he gives the world what he receives each
W1:163.2  it alone is real, inevitable, worthy of their trust. For it alone  will surely come.
W1:163.3  place of aspirations and of dreams. But death is counted on. For it  will come with certain footsteps when the time has come for its
W1:163.3  with certain footsteps when the time has come for its arrival. It  will never fail to take all life as hostage to itself.
W1:163.4  of God proclaimed as lord of all creation, stronger than God's  Will for life, the endlessness of love and Heaven's perfect,
W1:163.4  of love and Heaven's perfect, changeless constancy. Here is the  Will of Father and of Son defeated finally and laid to rest beneath
W1:163.7  apparently, by those who did not want him to survive. Their stronger  will could triumph over His, and so eternal life gave way to death.
W1:163.8  this which they believed, they would be instantly released. And you  will show them this today. There is no death, and we renounce it now
W1:163.9  from Your eternal life. There is no death, for death is not Your  Will. And we abide where You have placed us, in the Life we share
W1:163.9  and part of You forever. We accept Your thoughts as ours, and our  will is one with Yours eternally. Amen.
W1:164.2  distinct—an ancient call to which He gives an ancient answer. You  will recognize them both. For they are but your answer to your
W1:164.3  sounds which come from nearer than the world are clear to you who  will today accept the gifts He gives.
W1:164.4  in you the thought of sin has never touched. All this today you  will remember. Faithfulness in practicing today will bring rewards so
W1:164.4  All this today you will remember. Faithfulness in practicing today  will bring rewards so great and so completely different from all
W1:164.4  so completely different from all things you sought before that you  will know that here your treasure is and here your rest.
W1:164.5  scales of judgment left to Him Who judges true. And in His judgment  will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes. Now will
W1:164.5  will a world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes. Now  will you see it with the eyes of Christ. Now is its transformation
W1:164.7 We  will not judge today. We will receive but what is given us from
W1:164.7 We will not judge today. We  will receive but what is given us from judgment made beyond the
W1:164.7  for our release from blindness and from misery. All that we see  will but increase our joy because its holiness reflects our own. We
W1:165.4  Nor need you perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind  will be before it comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you.
W1:165.5  you request the only thing you want. But when you have received, you  will be sure you have the treasure you have always sought. What would
W1:165.7  of Him is still beyond all dreams and in our minds according to His  Will.
W1:166.1  back that can contribute to your happiness. And yet unless your  will is one with His, His gifts are not received. But what would make
W1:166.1  are not received. But what would make you think there is another  will than His?
W1:166.2  that underlies the making of the world. This world is not the  Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet those who think it real must
W1:166.2  Yet those who think it real must still believe there is another  will, and one that leads to opposite effects from those He wills.
W1:166.5  gifts go with him, all unknown to him. He cannot lose them. But he  will not look at what is given him. He wanders on, aware of the
W1:166.10 God's  Will does not oppose. It merely is. It is not God you have imprisoned
W1:166.10  to lose your Self. He does not know about a plan so alien to His  Will. There was a need He did not understand, to which He gave an
W1:166.12  gifts that God has given you. He speaks as well of what becomes your  will when you accept these gifts and recognize they are your own.
W1:166.14 Your sighs  will now betray the hopes of those who look to you for their release.
W1:167.5  cannot give birth to what was never given them. As they are made, so  will their making be. As they were born, so will they then give
W1:167.5  As they are made, so will their making be. As they were born, so  will they then give birth. And where they come from, there will they
W1:167.5  born, so will they then give birth. And where they come from, there  will they return.
W1:167.10  because he sleeps and sees in dreams an opposite to what he is? We  will not ask for death in any form today. Nor will we let imagined
W1:167.10  to what he is? We will not ask for death in any form today. Nor  will we let imagined opposites to life abide even an instant where
W1:167.12  holy minds which He created perfect. As we were, so are we now and  will forever be. A sleeping mind must waken as it sees its own
W1:168.1  loves His Son. There is no certainty but this, yet this suffices. He  will love His Son forever. When his mind remains asleep, He loves him
W1:168.2  of His Love. Would He not gladly give the means by which His  Will is recognized? His grace is yours by your acknowledgment. And
W1:168.4  loves His Son. Request Him now to give the means by which this world  will disappear, and vision first will come with knowledge but an
W1:168.4  give the means by which this world will disappear, and vision first  will come with knowledge but an instant later. For in grace you see a
W1:168.6  for what He has prepared for us He gives and we receive. Such is His  Will because He loves His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but
W1:168.7  grace is given me. I claim it now. Father, I come to You. And You  will come to me who asks. I am the Son You love.
W1:169.4  set. But we have also said the mind determines when that time  will be and has determined it. And yet we urge you to bear witness to
W1:169.6  this at all. It comes to every mind when total recognition that its  will is God's has been completely given and received completely. It

W1:169.9  the world can understand. When revelation of your oneness comes, it  will be known and fully understood. Now we have work to do, for those

W1:170.5  by which your fancied self-defense proceeds on its imagined way, you  will perceive the premises on which the idea stands. First, it is
W1:170.9  a choice, standing before this idol, seeing him exactly as he is.  Will you restore to love what you have sought to wrest from it and
W1:170.9  to wrest from it and lay before this mindless piece of stone? Or  will you make another idol to replace it? For the god of cruelty
W1:R5.3 So do we bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You  will raise us up. If we forget the way, we count upon Your sure
W1:R5.3  the way, we count upon Your sure remembering. We wander off, but You  will not forget to call us back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we

W1:R5.14  throughout the day. And thus when we have finished this review, we  will have recognized the words we speak are true.
W1:173.2 [155] I  will step back and let Him lead the way. God is but Love, and
W1:I2.1  now in order to attain the sense of peace such unified commitment  will bestow, if only intermittently. It is experiencing this which

W1:I2.2  tight control of what you see speaks for itself. Your motivation  will be so intensified that words become of little consequence. You
W1:I2.2  will be so intensified that words become of little consequence. You  will be sure of what you want and what is valueless.

W1:181.5  while. We do not look to past beliefs, and what we will believe  will not intrude upon us now. We enter in the time of practicing with
W1:181.5  in any form. And if a brother's sins occur to us, our narrowed focus  will restrict our sight and turn our eyes upon our own mistakes,

W1:181.6  without regard to past or future, should such blocks arise, we  will transcend them with instructions to our minds to change their

W1:183.10 Today you can achieve a state in which you  will experience the gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the

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

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

W1:186.3  request but this? And what could arrogance deny but this? Today we  will not shrink from our assignment on the specious grounds that
W1:186.4  would have us do. We do not doubt our adequacy for the function He  will offer us. We will be certain only that He knows our strengths,

W1:186.10 These unsubstantial images  will go and leave your mind unclouded and serene when you accept the
W1:186.11  Who knows no error. And His Voice is certain of its messages. They  will not change nor be in conflict. All of them point to one goal,
W1:186.14  form, you can fulfill your function even here, although what love  will mean to you when formlessness has been restored to you is
W1:187.1  you have lost what you possessed. The truth maintains that giving  will increase what you possess.
W1:187.2  it is sure that if you give a finite thing away, your body's eyes  will not perceive it yours. Yet we have learned that things but
W1:187.3  to save the world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you  will not believe that this is done until you see the miracles it
W1:187.4  you value by the act of giving them away, and you are sure that you  will never lose them. What you thought you did not have is thereby
W1:187.4  not have is thereby proven yours. Yet value not its form. For this  will change and grow unrecognizable in time, however much you try to

W1:188.8  where they fall in line with all the thoughts we share with God. We  will not let them stray. We let the light within our minds direct
W1:188.9  in us and from us to all living things that share our life. We  will forgive them all, absolving all the world of what we thought it
W1:189.1  is a light in you the world cannot perceive. And with its eyes you  will not see this light, for you are blinded by the world. Yet you
W1:189.5  But learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing: you  will look upon that which you feel within. If hatred finds a place
W1:189.5  you feel within. If hatred finds a place within your heart, you  will perceive a fearful world, held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed,

W1:189.9  this choice we rest. And in our quiet hearts and open minds His love  will blaze its pathway of itself. What has not been denied is surely
W1:189.10  the way to You. But we have called, and You have answered us. We  will not interfere. Salvation's ways are not our own, for they belong
W1:189.10  is the way that we would find and follow. And we ask but that Your  Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that
W1:190.1  It is not a fact at all. There is no form it takes which  will not disappear if seen aright. For pain proclaims God cruel. How

W1:190.5  As you perceive the harmlessness in them, they will accept your holy  will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful now becomes a source of

W1:190.7  As an effect, it cannot make effects. As an illusion it is what you  will. Your idle wishes represent its pains. Your strange desires
W1:190.9  withering assaults with which you seek to hide your holiness. Here  will you understand there is no pain. Here does the joy of God belong
W1:191.2  that does not seem to bring you nearer death, no hope you hold but  will dissolve in tears.
W1:191.3 Deny your own Identity, and you  will not escape the madness which induced this weird, unnatural, and
W1:191.5  that hold it prisoner. And from this place of safety and escape, you  will return and set it free. For he who can accept his true Identity
W1:191.6  this savage need in it. You set it free of your imprisonment. You  will not see a devastating image of yourself walking the world in
W1:191.11  in a world which shows no mercy to you. Yet when you accord it mercy  will its mercy shine on you.
W1:191.12  return again to bless the world he made. In error it began. But it  will end in the reflection of his holiness. And we will sleep no more
W1:191.12  it began. But it will end in the reflection of his holiness. And we  will sleep no more and dream of death. Then join with me today. Your

W1:192.5  mind without the body cannot make mistakes. It cannot think that it  will die nor be the prey of merciless attack. Anger becomes
W1:192.6  the Son to look again upon his holiness. With anger gone, you  will indeed perceive that for Christ's vision and the gift of sight
W1:192.9  a stab of anger, realize you hold a sword above your head. And it  will fall or be averted as you choose to be condemned or free. Thus

W1:193.1 God does not know of learning. Yet His  Will extends to what He does not understand in that He wills the
W1:193.1  and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him. This is His  Will. And thus His Will provides the means to guarantee that it is
W1:193.1  open and wholly limitless in Him. This is His Will. And thus His  Will provides the means to guarantee that it is done.
W1:193.2  for One Who can correct his erring sight and give him vision that  will lead him back to where perception ceases. God does not perceive
W1:193.5 These are the lessons God would have you learn. His  Will reflects them all, and they reflect His loving kindness to the
W1:193.6 Forgive and you  will see this differently.
W1:193.8 Forgive and you  will see this differently.
W1:193.14 We  will attempt today to overcome a thousand seeming obstacles to peace
W1:193.15  them all to Him Who knows the way to look upon them so that they  will disappear. Truth is His message; truth His teaching is. His are
W1:193.17  one goes, let everything that happens in its course go with it. Thus  will you remain unbound, in peace eternal in the world of time. This
W1:193.19 I  will forgive and this will disappear.
W1:193.19 I will forgive and this  will disappear.
W1:193.20  God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven. God  will take this final step Himself. Do not deny the little steps He
W1:194.4  but asked to let the future go and place it in God's hands. And you  will see by your experience that you have laid the past and present
W1:194.4  have laid the past and present in His hands as well because the past  will punish you no more and future dread will now be meaningless.
W1:194.4  as well because the past will punish you no more and future dread  will now be meaningless.
W1:194.6  can see the lesson for today as the deliverance it really is, you  will not hesitate to give as much consistent effort as you can to
W1:194.6  to the world. And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so  will the world perceive that it is saved.
W1:194.7  can never threaten. He is sure that his perception may be faulty but  will never lack correction. He is free to choose again when he has
W1:194.9  untroubled, sure that only good can come to us. If we forget, we  will be gently reassured. If we accept an unforgiving thought, it
W1:194.9  we will be gently reassured. If we accept an unforgiving thought, it  will be soon replaced by love's reflection. And if we are tempted to
W1:194.9  replaced by love's reflection. And if we are tempted to attack, we  will appeal to Him Who guards our rest to make the choice for us that
W1:195.4  to love. We offer thanks to God our Father that in us all things  will find their freedom. It will never be that some are loosed while
W1:195.4  to God our Father that in us all things will find their freedom. It  will never be that some are loosed while others still are bound, for
W1:195.5  but in sincerity. And let your gratitude make room for all who  will escape with you—the sick, the weak, the needy and afraid, and
W1:195.8  still locked away as sins. When your forgiveness is complete, you  will have total gratitude, for you will see that everything has
W1:195.8  your forgiveness is complete, you will have total gratitude, for you  will see that everything has earned the right to love by being
W1:195.10 Our gratitude  will pave the way to Him and shorten our learning time by more than
W1:196.1 When this is firmly understood and kept in full awareness, you  will not attempt to harm yourself nor make your body slave to
W1:196.1  attempt to harm yourself nor make your body slave to vengeance. You  will not attack yourself, and you will realize that to attack another
W1:196.1  your body slave to vengeance. You will not attack yourself, and you  will realize that to attack another is but to attack yourself. You
W1:196.1  will realize that to attack another is but to attack yourself. You  will be free of the insane belief that to attack a brother saves
W1:196.1  the insane belief that to attack a brother saves yourself. And you  will understand his safety is your own, and in his healing you are
W1:196.2 Perhaps at first you  will not understand how mercy, limitless and with all things held in

W1:198.15  that we have come this far and recognize that He Who brought us here  will not forsake us now. For He would give to us the gift that God
W1:199.4  need of it except the need the Holy Spirit sees. For this, the body  will appear as useful form for what the mind must do. It thus becomes
W1:199.5  a part of every practice period you take. There is no thought that  will not gain thereby in power to help the world, and none which will
W1:199.5  will not gain thereby in power to help the world, and none which  will not gain in added gifts to you as well. We sound the call of
W1:199.8  with you in it; the world is blessed along with you; God's Son  will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy
W1:200.1 Seek you no further. You  will not find peace except the peace of God. Accept this fact, and
W1:200.5  mind about the purpose of the world if you would find escape. You  will be bound till all the world is seen by you as blessed and
W1:200.7  He has one Son, who cannot make a world in opposition to God's  Will and to his own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to
W1:200.8 Peace is the bridge that everyone  will cross to leave this world behind. But peace begins within the
W1:200.9  and needless wasted time on thorny byways. God alone is sure, and He  will guide our footsteps. He will not desert His Son in need, nor let
W1:200.9  byways. God alone is sure, and He will guide our footsteps. He  will not desert His Son in need, nor let him stray forever from his
W1:200.9  nor let him stray forever from his home. The Father calls; the Son  will hear. And that is all there is to what appears to be a world
W1:200.11  cannot be found in them. The peace of God is ours, and only this  will we accept and want. Peace be to us today. For we have found a

W1:R6.10  you thought. Beyond such special applications of each day's idea, we  will add but few formal expressions for specific thoughts to aid your
W1:R6.11  teach you what to do and say and think each time you turn to Him. He  will not fail to be available to you each time you call to Him to
W1:202.1 [182] I  will be still a moment and go home. Why would I choose to stay an

W1:208.1  and let the earth be still along with me. And in that stillness, we  will find the peace of God. It is within my heart, which witnesses to
W1:210.1  not a thought of God, but one I thought apart from Him and from His  Will. His Will is joy and only joy for His beloved Son. And that I

W1:212.1  God has given me can offer freedom. Only this I seek, and only this  will I accept as mine. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as
W1:216.1  I do unto myself. If I attack, I suffer. But if I forgive, salvation  will be given me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God
W2:I.1 Words  will mean little now. We use them but as guides on which we do not
W2:I.2  wait in quiet expectation for our God and Father. He has promised He  will take the final step Himself. And we are sure His promises are
W2:I.2  kept. We have come far along the road, and now we wait for Him. We  will continue spending time with Him each morning and at night, as
W2:I.2  with Him each morning and at night, as long as makes us happy. We  will not consider time a matter of duration now. We use as much as we
W2:I.2  not consider time a matter of duration now. We use as much as we  will need for the result that we desire. Nor will we forget our
W2:I.2  We use as much as we will need for the result that we desire. Nor  will we forget our hourly remembrance in between, calling to God when
W2:I.3 We  will continue with a central thought for all the days to come. And we
W2:I.3  continue with a central thought for all the days to come. And we  will use that thought to introduce our times of rest and calm our
W2:I.3  to introduce our times of rest and calm our minds at need. Yet we  will not content ourselves with simple practicing in the remaining
W2:I.3  promised. We have called on Him, and He has promised that His Son  will not remain unanswered when he calls His Name.

W2:I.5  He has willed to come to you when you have recognized it is your  will He do so. And you could have never come this far unless you saw,
W2:I.5  never come this far unless you saw, however dimly, that it is your  will.
W2:I.7  not know the way, but You did not forget us. And we know that You  will not forget us now. We ask but that Your ancient promises be kept

W2:I.7  that Your ancient promises be kept which are Your will to keep. We  will with You in asking this. The Father and the Son, Whose holy will
W2:I.7  We will with You in asking this. The Father and the Son, Whose holy  will created all that is, can fail in nothing. In this certainty, we
W2:I.7  last few steps to You and rest in confidence upon Your Love, Which  will not fail the Son who calls to You.
W2:I.9  across the wide horizons of our minds. A moment more, and it  will rise again. A moment more, and we who are God's Sons are safely
W2:I.10  is the need for practice almost done. For in this final section we  will come to understand that we need only call to God and all
W2:I.10  of judging, we need but be still and let all things be healed. We  will accept the way God's plan will end, as we received the way it
W2:I.10  and let all things be healed. We will accept the way God's plan  will end, as we received the way it started. Now it is complete. This
W2:I.11  From time to time, instructions on a theme of special relevance  will intersperse our daily lessons and the periods of wordless, deep
W2:WF.1  therefore lets it go. What then is free to take its place is now the  Will of God.
W2:WF.2 An unforgiving thought is one which makes a judgment that it  will not raise to doubt, although it is not true. The mind is closed
W2:WF.2  not raise to doubt, although it is not true. The mind is closed and  will not be released. The thought protects projection, tightening its
W2:221.1  to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure You  will hear my call and answer me.
W2:221.2  in quiet. God is here because we wait together. I am sure that He  will speak to you, and you will hear. Accept my confidence, for it is
W2:221.2  we wait together. I am sure that He will speak to you, and you  will hear. Accept my confidence, for it is yours. Our minds are
W2:225.2  follow it in peace together. You have reached your hand to me, and I  will never leave you. We are one, and it is but this oneness that we
W2:226.1  of the world. If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so  will it still remain for me. But if I see no value in the world as I
W2:226.1  it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it  will depart from me. For I have not sought for illusions to replace
W2:227.1 Father, it is today that I am free because my  will is Yours. I thought to make another will. Yet nothing that I
W2:227.1  that I am free because my will is Yours. I thought to make another  will. Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. And I am free
W2:227.1  from my mind. This is my holy instant of release. Father, I know my  will is one with Yours.
W2:229.1  Love has prevailed. So still it waited for my coming home that I  will turn away no longer from the holy face of Christ. And what I
W2:230.2  me. I need but call on You to find the peace You gave. It is Your  will that gave it to Your Son.
W2:WS.1  way to Him at last. It cannot but be kept. It guarantees that time  will have an end, and all the thoughts that have been born in time
W2:WS.1  will have an end, and all the thoughts that have been born in time  will end as well. God's Word is given every mind which thinks that it
W2:WS.1  is given every mind which thinks that it has separate thoughts and  will replace these thoughts of conflict with the thought of peace.
W2:231.2 This is your  will, my brother. And you share this will with me, and with the One
W2:231.2 This is your will, my brother. And you share this  will with me, and with the One as well Who is our Father. To remember
W2:231.2  To remember Him is Heaven. This we seek. And only this is what it  will be given us to find.
W2:232.1  my hourly thanksgiving that You have remained with me and always  will be there to hear my call to You and answer me. As evening comes,
W2:233.1  give me Your own. I give You all my acts as well, that I may do Your  will instead of seeking goals which cannot be obtained and wasting
W2:233.1  obtained and wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I  will step back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide and I the
W2:233.2 Today we have one Guide to lead us on. And as we walk together, we  will give this day to Him with no reserve at all. This is His day.
W2:234.1 Today we  will anticipate the time when dreams of sin and guilt are gone and we
W2:235.1  and merely watch them disappear. I need but keep in mind my Father's  Will for me is only happiness to find that only happiness has come to
W2:236.1  my mind, which I alone can rule. And thus I set it free to do the  Will of God.
W2:237.1 Today I  will accept the truth about myself. I will arise in glory and allow
W2:237.1 Today I will accept the truth about myself. I  will arise in glory and allow the light in me to shine upon the world
W2:WIW.1  perception. It is born of error, and it has not left its source. It  will remain no longer than the thought which gave it birth is
W2:WIW.1  thought of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness  will the world be seen in quite another light, and one which leads to
W2:241.1  set free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They  will be united now as you forgive them all. For I will be forgiven by
W2:241.1  millions. They will be united now as you forgive them all. For I  will be forgiven by you today.
W2:242.1 I  will not lead my life alone today. I do not understand the world. And
W2:242.2  have received by us. You know all our desires and our needs. And You  will give us everything we want and that will help us find the way to
W2:242.2  and our needs. And You will give us everything we want and that  will help us find the way to You.
W2:243.1 I  will be honest with myself today. I will not think that I already
W2:243.1 I will be honest with myself today. I  will not think that I already know what must remain beyond my present
W2:243.1  that I already know what must remain beyond my present grasp. I  will not think I understand the whole from bits of my perception,
W2:244.1  for You are there with him. He need but call upon Your Name, and he  will recollect his safety and Your Love, for they are one. How can he
W2:244.2  For what can come to threaten God Himself or make afraid what  will forever be a part of Him?
W2:245.1  me bring Your peace with me. For I would save Your Son as is Your  Will, that I may come to recognize my Self.
W2:246.2 I  will accept the way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. For
W2:246.2  the way You choose for me to come to You, my Father. For in that  will I succeed because it is Your Will. And I would recognize that
W2:246.2  to You, my Father. For in that will I succeed because it is Your  Will. And I would recognize that what You will is what I will as well
W2:246.2  succeed because it is Your Will. And I would recognize that what You  will is what I will as well and only that. And so I choose to love
W2:246.2  it is Your Will. And I would recognize that what You will is what I  will as well and only that. And so I choose to love Your Son. Amen.
W2:247.1 Sin is the symbol of attack. Behold it anywhere, and I  will suffer. For forgiveness is the only means whereby Christ's
W2:WIS.2  Truth can be its aim as well as lies. The senses then  will seek instead for witnesses to what is true.
W2:WIS.3  lost the Son He loves, with but corruption to complete Himself, His  Will forever overcome by death, love slain by hate, and peace to be
W2:WIS.5 How long, oh Son of God,  will you maintain the game of sin? Shall we not put away these
W2:WIS.5  Shall we not put away these sharp-edged children's toys? How soon  will you be ready to come home? Perhaps today? There is no sin.
W2:253.1  For thus am I led past this world to my creations, children of my  Will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides with them and Him Who has
W2:253.2  and one with You. My Self, Which rules the universe, is but Your  will in perfect union with my own, which can but offer glad assent to
W2:254.1  this: I come to You to ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your  Will, which I would share with You today.
W2:254.2  hallowed by His Love, God speaks to us and tells us of our  will, as we have chosen to remember Him.
W2:257.2  means for our salvation. Let us not forget that we can have no  will but Yours today. And thus our purpose must be Yours as well if
W2:257.2  our purpose must be Yours as well if we would reach the peace You  will for us.
W2:WIB.2 The body  will not stay. Yet this he sees as double “safety.” For the Son of
W2:WIB.3  the purpose given it. But we can change the purpose which the body  will obey by changing what we think that it is for.
W2:WIB.5 You  will identify with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may
W2:WIB.5 You will identify with what you think  will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you will believe that it is
W2:WIB.5  with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you  will believe that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth and
W2:261.1 I  will identify with what I think is refuge and security. I will behold
W2:261.1 I will identify with what I think is refuge and security. I  will behold myself where I perceive my strength and think I live
W2:261.1  In Him is my Identity. In Him is everlasting peace. And only there  will I remember who I really am.
W2:264.2  in this today. This is salvation's prayer. Must we not join in what  will save the world along with us?
W2:265.2  and mine as well. Let me remember that they are the same, and I  will see creation's gentleness.
W2:268.1  from its unity and thus to let it be as You created it. For thus  will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You created me. In Love
W2:268.1  my Self as You created me. In Love was I created, and in Love  will I remain forever. What can frighten me when I let all things be
W2:270.1  world. How glorious and gracious is this world! Yet how much more  will I perceive in it than sight can give. The world forgiven
W2:270.1  time, which ends forever as Your memory returns to him. And now his  will is one with Yours. His function now is but Your own, and every
W2:270.2 The quiet of today  will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone.
W2:270.2 The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and through them peace  will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His
W2:WIC.2  separation is no more than an illusion of despair. For hope forever  will abide in Him. Your mind is part of His and His of yours. He is
W2:WIC.3  only part of you that has reality in truth. The rest is dreams. Yet  will these dreams be given unto Christ to fade before His glory and
W2:WIC.4  dreams and bids them come to Him to be translated into truth. He  will exchange them for the final dream which God appointed as the end
W2:WIC.5 And how long  will this holy face be seen, when it is but the symbol that the time
W2:WIC.5  find Christ's face and look on nothing else. As we behold His glory  will we know we have no need of learning or perception or of time, or
W2:272.1 Father, the truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your  will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions bring me
W2:272.1  bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I  will accept no less than You have given me. I am surrounded by Your
W2:272.2  dreams when Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell and love  will happily replace all fear.
W2:274.1  friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as well the truth  will enter where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and
W2:274.1  this as well the truth will enter where illusions were, light  will replace all darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You
W2:274.1  where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your Son  will know he is as You created him.
W2:274.2  us today from Him Who is our Father. Give this day to Him and there  will be no fear today because the day is given unto Love.
W2:275.1  than any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time when we  will seek and hear and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For
W2:275.2  all things to You. I need be anxious over nothing. For Your Voice  will tell me what to do and where to go, to whom to speak, and what
W2:277.2  Son. And he cannot be bound unless God's Truth can lie and God can  will that He deceive Himself.
W2:279.2 I  will accept Your promises today and give my faith to them. My Father
W2:WIHS.3  what is forever unattainable. And if you offer them to Him, He  will employ the means you made for exile to restore your mind to
W2:WIHS.4  and be restored to sanity and peace of mind. Without forgiveness  will your dreams remain to terrify you. And the memory of all your
W2:WIHS.4  remain to terrify you. And the memory of all your Father's Love  will not return to signify the end of dreams has come.
W2:281.2 I  will not hurt myself today. For I am far beyond all pain. My Father
W2:285.1  God to come to me. I ask but them to come and realize my invitation  will be answered by the thoughts to which they have been sent by me.
W2:285.1  answered by the thoughts to which they have been sent by me. And I  will ask for only joyous things the instant I accept my holiness. For
W2:286.2 The stillness of today  will give us hope that we have found the way and traveled far along
W2:286.2  the way and traveled far along it to a wholly certain goal. Today we  will not doubt the end which God Himself has promised us. We trust in
W2:288.1  because the past is gone. Let me not cherish it within my heart or I  will lose the way to walk to You. My brother is my savior. Let me not
W2:288.2 Forgive me, then, today. And you  will know you have forgiven me if you behold your brother in the
W2:290.2  ask Your strength to hold me up today while I but seek to do Your  Will. You cannot fail to hear me, Father. What I ask have You already
W2:290.2  Father. What I ask have You already given me, and I am sure that I  will see my happiness today.
W2:292.1  Yet it is up to us when this is reached—how long we let an alien  will appear to be opposing His. And while we think this will is real,
W2:292.1  let an alien will appear to be opposing His. And while we think this  will is real, we will not find the end He has appointed as the
W2:292.1  appear to be opposing His. And while we think this will is real, we  will not find the end He has appointed as the outcome of all problems
W2:292.1  every situation that we meet. Yet is the ending certain. For God's  Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we will find
W2:292.1  the ending certain. For God's Will is done in earth and Heaven. We  will seek and we will find according to His Will, which guarantees
W2:292.1  For God's Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we  will find according to His Will, which guarantees that our will is
W2:292.1  in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we will find according to His  Will, which guarantees that our will is done.
W2:292.1  and we will find according to His Will, which guarantees that our  will is done.
W2:296.1  set it free that I may find escape and hear the Word Your holy Voice  will speak to me today.
W2:297.1  to be the way I live within a world that needs salvation and that  will be saved as I accept Atonement for myself.
W2:298.1  instead what God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I  will be saved, sure that I go through fear to meet my Love.
W2:299.1  God my Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our  will together understands it. And our will together knows that it is
W2:299.1  my holiness as His. Our will together understands it. And our  will together knows that it is so.
W2:299.2  Itself created me, and I can know my Source because it is Your  will that You be known.
W2:WISC.3  the Last Judgment, in which learning ends in one last summary that  will extend beyond itself and reaches up to God. The Second Coming is
W2:WISC.3  to be returned to Spirit in the name of true creation and the  Will of God.
W2:WISC.4  time itself cannot affect. For everyone who ever came to die or yet  will come or who is present now is equally released from what he
W2:WISC.5 Pray that this Second Coming  will be soon, but do not rest with that. It needs your eyes and ears
W2:WISC.5  all it needs your willingness. Let us rejoice that we can do God's  Will and join together in its holy light. Behold, the Son of God is
W2:301.1  is my home because I judge it not. And therefore is it only what You  will. Let me today behold it uncondemned through happy eyes
W2:301.1  Let me see Your world instead of mine. And all the tears I shed  will be forgotten, for their source is gone. Father, I will not judge
W2:301.1  tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone. Father, I  will not judge Your world today.
W2:301.2  understand. But we have learned the world we saw was false, and we  will look upon God's world today.
W2:304.1  bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I  will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven
W2:305.2 Father, the peace of Christ is given us because it is Your  will that we be saved. Help us today but to accept Your gift and
W2:307.1 Father, Your  will is mine, and only that. There is no other will for me to have.
W2:307.1 Father, Your will is mine, and only that. There is no other  will for me to have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is
W2:307.1  is no other will for me to have. Let me not try to make another  will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your will alone can
W2:307.1  have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and  will cause me pain. Your will alone can bring me happiness, and only
W2:307.1  make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your  will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would
W2:307.1  exists. If I would have what only You can give, I must accept Your  will for me and enter into peace where conflict is impossible. Your
W2:307.1  conflict is impossible. Your Son is one with You in being and in  will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You
W2:307.2  into a state where conflict cannot come because we join our holy  will with God's in recognition that they are but one.
W2:309.1 Within me is eternal innocence because it is God's  Will that it be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose will is
W2:309.1  God's Will that it be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose  will is limitless as is His own, can will no change in this. For to
W2:309.1  and forever. I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His own, can  will no change in this. For to deny my Father's Will is to deny my
W2:309.1  as is His own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father's  Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to find my will as God
W2:309.1  my Father's Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to find my  will as God created it and as it is. I fear to look within because I
W2:309.1  and as it is. I fear to look within because I think I made another  will which is not true and made it real. Yet it has no effects.
W2:310.1  spend with You, as You have chosen all my days should be. And what I  will experience is not of time at all. The joy that comes to me is
W2:310.1  of days nor hours, for it comes from Heaven to Your Son. This day  will be Your sweet reminder to remember You, Your gracious calling to
W2:310.1  holy Son, the sign Your grace has come to me and that it is Your  will that I be free today.
W2:WILJ.2  in which the world began go with it. Bodies now are useless and  will therefore fade away because the Son of God is limitless.
W2:WILJ.4  give it welcome. And the world awaits your glad acceptance, which  will set it free.
W2:311.1  but make a gift of it to Him Who has a different use for it. He  will relieve you of the agony of all the judgments you have made
W2:312.2  set free from all the judgments I have made. Father, this is Your  will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as well.
W2:313.1  so that fear has gone and where it was is love invited in. And love  will come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of
W2:314.1  idols and its images, and being formless, it has no effects. Death  will not claim the future now, for life is now its goal, and all the
W2:314.2  in Your hands, leaving behind our past mistakes and sure that You  will keep Your present promises and guide the future in their holy
W2:316.2  today. I do not recognize them. Yet I trust that You Who gave them  will provide the means by which I can behold them, see their worth,
W2:317.1  and gladly go the way my Father's plan appointed me to go, then  will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my
W2:319.1  arrogance opposes truth. But where there is no arrogance, the truth  will come immediately and fill up the space the ego left unoccupied
W2:319.1  ego thinks that what one gains totality must lose. And yet it is the  Will of God I learn that what one gains is given unto all.
W2:319.2 Father, Your  Will is total. And the goal that stems from it shares its totality.
W2:319.2  of the world could You have given me? And what but this could be the  will my Self has shared with You?
W2:320.1  What he wills with his Creator and Redeemer must be done. His holy  will can never be denied because his Father shines upon his mind and
W2:320.1  to whom all this is given. I am he in whom the power of my Father's  Will abides.
W2:320.2 Your  Will can do all things in me and then extend to all the world as well
W2:320.2  to all the world as well through me. There is no limit on Your  Will. And so all power has been given to Your Son.
W2:WICR.1  There was no time when all that It created was not there. Nor  will there be a time when anything that It created suffers any
W2:WICR.2  share in power to create. What God has willed to be forever one  will still be one when time is over and will not be changed
W2:WICR.2  has willed to be forever one will still be one when time is over and  will not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it
W2:WICR.3  the truth. Creation is the holy Son of God, for in creation is His  Will complete in every aspect, making every part container of the
W2:WICR.3  is forever guaranteed inviolate, forever held within His holy  will beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection, and
W2:WICR.4  our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's  Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but
W2:321.1  I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son  will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me. And the way to You is
W2:321.1  to me at last. Father, my freedom is in You alone. Father, it is my  will that I return.
W2:321.2 Today we answer for the world, which  will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find our freedom
W2:324.1  but choose to wander off a while and then return. Your loving Voice  will always call me back and guide my feet aright. My brothers all
W2:326.1  still abide, and all Your attributes abide in me because it is Your  will to have a Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its Effect are
W2:326.1  so on earth. Your plan I follow here, and at the end I know that You  will gather Your Effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your Love, where
W2:326.1  Your Effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your Love, where earth  will disappear and separate thoughts unite in glory as the Son of God.
W2:326.2  first transformed, and then, forgiven, fade entirely into God's holy  Will.
W2:327.1  on the basis of an unsupported faith. For God has promised He  will hear my call and answer me Himself. Let me but learn from my
W2:327.1  and faith in Him must surely come to me. This is the faith that  will endure and take me farther and still farther on the road that
W2:327.1  farther and still farther on the road that leads to Him. For thus I  will be sure that He has not abandoned me and loves me still,
W2:327.2 Father, I thank You that Your promises  will never fail in my experience if I but test them out. Let me
W2:328.1  upside-down until we listen to the Voice of God. It seems that we  will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate and that our
W2:328.1  is not what our Father wills for us, nor is there any second to His  Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since our will is
W2:328.1  to His Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since our  will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our will.
W2:328.1  since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our  will.
W2:328.2 There is no  will but Yours. And I am glad that nothing I imagine contradicts what
W2:328.2  nothing I imagine contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your  will that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share
W2:328.2  that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share that  will which You, my Father, gave as part of me.
W2:329.1 Father, I thought I wandered from Your  Will, defied it, broke its laws, and interposed a second will more
W2:329.1  from Your Will, defied it, broke its laws, and interposed a second  will more powerful than Yours. Yet what I am in truth is but Your
W2:329.1  will more powerful than Yours. Yet what I am in truth is but Your  Will, extended and extending. This am I. And this will never change.
W2:329.1  truth is but Your Will, extended and extending. This am I. And this  will never change. As You are One, so am I one with You. And this I
W2:329.1  One, so am I one with You. And this I chose in my creation, where my  will became forever one with Yours. That choice was made for all
W2:329.1  It cannot change and be in opposition to itself. Father, my  will is Yours. And I am safe, untroubled and serene in endless joy
W2:329.1  I am safe, untroubled and serene in endless joy because it is Your  will that it be so.

W2:331.2 Forgiveness shows us that God's  Will is one and that we share it. Let us look upon the holy sights

W2:359.1 Father, today we  will forgive Your world and let creation be Your own. We have
W2:FL.1 Our final lessons  will be left as free of words as possible. We use them but at the
W2:FL.3  to the dream we seek, and not our own. For all that we forgive we  will not fail to recognize as part of God Himself. And thus His
W2:FL.5 We  will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His
W2:FL.6  him and say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? Be certain He  will answer thus, for these are His own Words to you. And more than
W2:FL.6  one ever have, for in these Words is all there is and all that there  will be throughout all time and in eternity.
W2:361.1 And if I need a word to help me, He  will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And

W2:E.4  every difficulty and all pain that you may think is real. Nor  will He give you pleasures that will pass away, for He gives only the
W2:E.4  pain that you may think is real. Nor will He give you pleasures that  will pass away, for He gives only the eternal and the good. Let Him

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

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

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

M:13.6  would sacrifice the truth, they stay in hell. And if they stay, you  will remain with them.
M:13.7  A split that cannot happen. Yet a split in which you surely  will believe, because you have set up a situation that is impossible.
M:14.1 Can what has no beginning really end? The world  will end in an illusion, as it began. Yet will its ending be an
M:14.1  really end? The world will end in an illusion, as it began. Yet  will its ending be an illusion of mercy. The illusion of forgiveness,

M:14.2  all things in it have been rightly judged by His judgment. The world  will end with the benediction of holiness upon it. When not one

M:14.4  completely reversed. Until then, bits and pieces of its thinking  will still seem sensible. The final lesson which brings the ending of
M:14.4  as hard or easy. His Teacher points to it, and he trusts that He  will show him how to learn it.
M:14.5 The world  will end in joy because it is a place of sorrow. When joy has come,
M:14.5  When joy has come, the purpose of the world has gone. The world  will end in peace because it is a place of war. When peace has come,
M:14.5  When peace has come, what is the purpose of the world? The world  will end in laughter because it is a place of tears. Where there is

M:15.4  of your judgments on its gifts, that you would rather have? You  will be judged, and judged in fairness and in honesty. There is no

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

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

Tx:15.36 Your practice must therefore rest upon your  willingness to let all littleness go. The instant in which magnitude
Tx:15.39  release from littleness in the mind of the host of God depends on  willingness and not on time. The reason why this course is simple is
Tx:15.42  to oppose it. For the holy instant is given and received with equal  willingness, being the acceptance of the single will that governs all
Tx:15.49  and be sure that it will not result in pain if you offer Him your  willingness to have it serve no need but His. All the guilt in it
Tx:15.78 Here there is no concealment and no private thoughts. The  willingness to communicate attracts communication to it and overcomes

Tx:15.80  that it be all that there is. God's Son has such great need of your  willingness to strive for this that you cannot conceive of need so

Tx:18.25  you accepted is the goal of knowledge, for which you signified your  willingness. Fear seems to live in darkness, and when you are afraid,
Tx:18.29  You have been willing to bring the darkness to light, and this  willingness has given strength to everyone who would remain in
Tx:18.32  your determination to be holy. It is the answer. The desire and the  willingness to let it come precedes its coming. You prepare your
Tx:18.33  your good intentions. They are not enough. But trust implicitly your  willingness, whatever else may enter. Concentrate only on this and be
Tx:18.33  coming brings with it. The miracle of the holy instant lies in your  willingness to let it be what it is. And in your willingness for this
Tx:18.33  lies in your willingness to let it be what it is. And in your  willingness for this lies also your acceptance of yourself as you
Tx:18.34  must be interfering with His Will. You do not need the strength of  willingness to come from you, but only from His Will.
Tx:18.35 The holy instant does not come from your little  willingness alone. It is always the result of your small willingness
Tx:18.35  your little willingness alone. It is always the result of your small  willingness combined with the unlimited power of God's Will. You have
Tx:18.35  for peace. God has established them. They do not wait upon your  willingness for what they are. Your willingness is needed only to
Tx:18.35  them. They do not wait upon your willingness for what they are. Your  willingness is needed only to make it possible to teach you what they
Tx:18.36  first atone, but only to those who offer it nothing more than simple  willingness to make way for it. Purification is of God alone and
Tx:18.42  help. That is His function. Your part is only to offer Him a little  willingness to let Him remove all fear and hatred and to be forgiven.
Tx:18.46  by anything, stop instantly and offer the Holy Spirit your  willingness in spite of fear to let Him exchange this instant for the
Tx:21.13  little is asked of you to learn this course. It is the same small  willingness you need to have your whole relationship transformed to
Tx:22.28  to see his brother sinless. And no one can remain beyond this  willingness if you would be released entirely from all effects of

Tx:24.2 To learn this course requires  willingness to question every value that you hold. Not one can be

Tx:25.36  How better could your own mistakes be brought to truth than by your  willingness to bring the light of Heaven with you as you walk beyond

Tx:26.56  complete, asks but a little wish that what is true be true; a little  willingness to overlook what is not there; a little sigh that speaks
Tx:26.56  with Heaven, wholly perfect and complete. What is forgiveness but a  willingness that truth be true? What can remain unhealed and broken
Tx:28.46  when you do not insist on seeing in the gap what is not there. Your  willingness to let illusions go is all the Healer of God's Son
Tx:30.1  by which it can be reached depends on this one thing alone—your  willingness to practice every step. Each one will help a little every
Tx:30.77 Look on your brother with the  willingness to see him as he is. And do not keep a part of him

Tx:11.54  Because He loves you, He will gladly teach you what He loves, for He  wills to share it. Remembering you always, He cannot let you forget
Tx:11.71  which created us. For we are there in the peace of the Father, Who  wills to project His peace through you.

Tx:14.34  and in you. All interference in the communication that God Himself  wills with His Son is quite impossible here. Unbroken and
Tx:14.57  it is not recognized, you will recognize it. And God Himself, Who  wills to be with His Son forever, will bless each recognition of His

Tx:15.61  all. When the Son of God accepts the laws of God as what he gladly  wills, it is impossible that he be bound or limited in any way. In
Tx:15.81  are. For the holy host of God is beyond failure, and nothing that he  wills can be denied. You are forever in a relationship so holy that

Tx:17.21 The Holy Spirit  wills only to make His resolutions complete and perfect, and so He
Tx:18.34  unworthy of Him. And if you believe He cannot enter where He  wills to be, you must be interfering with His Will. You do not need
Tx:18.40  you impossible. What you believe to be impossible will be if God so  wills it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. If you believe the
Tx:18.40  orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this. Everything God  wills is not only possible but has already happened. And that is why
Tx:18.43  yourselves for such a function? Yet it is possible because God  wills it. Nor will He change His Mind about it. The means and purpose
Tx:19.31 —partly sane and partially insane. For He must have created what  wills to destroy Him and has the power to do so. Is it not easier to
Tx:19.80  Heaven? One thing is sure—God, Who created neither sin nor death,  wills not that you be bound by them. He knows of neither sin nor its
Tx:21.26  For if you think the world you made has power to make you what it  wills, you are confusing Son and Father, effect and Source.
Tx:21.34  take them from you, for He sees their value as a means for what He  wills for you. You made perception that you might choose among your
Tx:21.53  consent. It must have been accepted by the Son of God, for what God  wills for him he must receive. For God wills not apart from him, nor
Tx:21.53  the Son of God, for what God wills for him he must receive. For God  wills not apart from him, nor does the Will of God wait upon time to

Tx:19.46 The little insane  wish to get rid of Him Who you invited in and push Him out must

Tx:21.84  Happiness must be constant because it is attained by giving up the  wish for the inconstant. Joy cannot be perceived except through
Tx:21.84  constant vision. And constant vision can be given only those who  wish for constancy. The power of the Son of God's desire remains the
Tx:23.11  not forgotten what you are. Only a strange illusion of yourself, a  wish to triumph over what you are, remembers not.
Tx:23.47  the same cannot conflict. You are not asked to fight against your  wish to murder. But you are asked to realize the form it takes
Tx:24.10  it or suffer vengeance. Every twinge of malice or stab of hate or  wish to separate arises here. For here the purpose which you share
Tx:24.36  To minds intent on specialness, it is impossible. Yet to those who  wish to heal and not attack, it is quite obvious. The purpose of

Tx:24.40  what you seek for is a source of joy as you conceive it. What you  wish is true for you. Nor is it possible that you can wish for
Tx:24.40  it. What you wish is true for you. Nor is it possible that you can  wish for something and lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes real,
Tx:24.40  Wishing makes real, as surely as does will create. The power of a  wish upholds illusions as strongly as does love extend itself, except
Tx:24.52  the only one it has. Until you see the healing of the Son as all you  wish to be accomplished by the world, by time, and all appearances,
Tx:24.62  to this world defend the specialness he wants to be the truth! His  wish is law unto him, and he obeys. Nothing his specialness demands

Tx:24.69  it but witnesses to what you taught. It is the outward picture of a  wish—an image that you wanted to be true.
Tx:24.70  an image that you want to be yourself. It is the means to make your  wish come true. It gives the eyes with which you look on it, the
Tx:24.72  will and wishes it were so. And thus does his perception serve his  wish by giving it appearances of truth. Yet can perception serve
Tx:25.24  there with him so he could not be lost forever in the madness of his  wish.
Tx:25.31 The Son of God could never sin, but he can  wish for what would hurt him. And he has the power to think he can be

Tx:25.33  is harmful or beneficent apart from what you wish. It is your  wish that makes it what it is in its effects on you. Because you

Tx:25.38  wishes to attack, can fail to think it must be guilty to deserve the  wish and leave him innocent? And who would see the Son of God as

Tx:25.48  time, for so he chose, and choosing it, he made it for himself. His  wish was not denied but changed in form to let it serve his brother
Tx:25.50  of sin is death. And so it is. For sin is a request for death, a  wish to make this world's foundation sure as love, dependable as
Tx:25.51 It cannot be the “sinner's”  wish for death is just as strong as is God's Will for life. Nor can
Tx:25.51  His Will? And what can share Its attributes except Itself? What  wish can rise against His Will and be immutable? If you could realize
Tx:26.1  a brother in another body separate from yours is the expression of a  wish to see a little part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the
Tx:26.15  For there are those you want to suffer loss and no one whom you  wish to be preserved from sacrifice entirely. Consider once again
Tx:26.17  perfectly intact and undefiled. And all you need to do is but to  wish that Heaven be given you instead of hell, and every bolt and
Tx:26.22  lost and so cannot be saved. Yet who can make a choice between the  wish for Heaven and the wish for hell unless he recognizes they are
Tx:26.22  saved. Yet who can make a choice between the wish for Heaven and the  wish for hell unless he recognizes they are not the same? This
Tx:26.37  more gone by. And everything which points to it as real is but a  wish that what is gone could be made real again and seen as here and
Tx:26.48  The Son of God perceives what he would see, because perception is a  wish fulfilled. Perception changes, made to take the place of
Tx:26.51  to what God gave as answer to them all. God's Will is One. And any  wish that seems to go against His Will has no foundation in the truth.
Tx:26.54  and a thing apart. Yet what this symbol represents is but your  wish to be apart and separate. Forgiveness takes away what stands
Tx:26.54  takes away what stands between your brother and yourself. It is the  wish that you be joined with him and not apart. We call it “wish”
Tx:26.55 Yet is this  wish in line with Heaven's state and not in opposition to God's Will.
Tx:26.56 Salvation, perfect and complete, asks but a little  wish that what is true be true; a little willingness to overlook what
Tx:26.60  of what is idly wished as what is truly willed, because the mind can  wish to be deceived but cannot make it be what it is not. And to
Tx:26.63  the Son of God reborn, until he chooses not to die again. In every  wish to hurt, he chooses death instead of what his Father wills for
Tx:26.65  to lay aside the power that He gave and choose a little senseless  wish instead of what He wills. The gift of God to you is limitless.

Tx:27.19  love would prove all suffering is but a vain imagining, a foolish  wish with no effects. Your health is a result of your desire to see
Tx:27.19  guilt upon his heart made heavy with the proof of sin. And what you  wish is given you to see.

Tx:28.31  holds the seeds of pestilence and every form of ill because it is a  wish to keep apart and not to join. And thus it seems to give a cause
Tx:28.37  dream of sickness and of death. It means that you share not his  wish to separate and let him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you
Tx:28.37  wish to separate and let him turn illusions on himself. Nor do you  wish that they be turned instead on you. Thus have they no effects.

Tx:11.68  different. The mind then sees a divided world outside itself but not  within. This gives it an illusion of integrity and enables it to

Tx:14.13  In guiltlessness we know Him, as He knows us guiltless. I stand  within the circle, calling you to peace. Teach peace with me and

Tx:14.15 Each one you see you place  within the holy circle of Atonement or leave outside, judging him fit
Tx:14.15  in the holy place of peace, which is for all of us, united as one  within the cause of peace.
Tx:14.17 The quiet light in which the Holy Spirit dwells  within you is merely perfect openness in which nothing is hidden and

Tx:15.102  in darkness. See it not outside yourself but shining in the Heaven  within and accept it as the sign the time of Christ has come. He
Tx:15.104  part of you. Who can perceive part of himself as loathsome and live  within himself in peace? And who can try to resolve the perceived
Tx:16.24  real cause and effect relationship that is perfectly apparent. Yet  within you is everything you taught. What can it be that has not

Tx:16.32  the haven by attempting to build barricades against it and keep  within them. The special love relationship is not perceived as a
Tx:16.35  not to seek for love but merely to seek and find all of the barriers  within yourself which you have built against it. It is not necessary
Tx:16.35  love outside yourself, you can be certain that you perceive hatred  within and are afraid of it. Yet peace will never come from the

Tx:18.85  surrounded by darkness, guarded by attack, and reinforced by hate.  Within its barricades is still a tiny segment of the Son of God,

Tx:20.27  fear without? The innocent see safety, and the pure in heart see God  within His Son and look unto the Son to lead them to the Father. And
Tx:20.30  What could this be but madness? And is it this that you would see  within your savior from insanity? He is as free from this as you are,

Tx:20.50  kept “safe” from Him. But what you do not realize is what you fear  within your brother and would not see in him is what makes God seem
Tx:20.54  the Son of God has with his Father in reality. The Holy Spirit rests  within it in the certainty it will endure forever. Its firm

Tx:21.23  of vision and suspended judgment. Then only is it possible to look  within and see what must be there plainly in sight and wholly
Tx:21.41  but this makes no one fearful. You are indeed afraid to look  within and see the sin you think is there. This you would not be
Tx:21.42  the ego is not certain it is so. Beneath your fear to look  within because of sin is yet another fear and one which makes the ego
Tx:21.43 What if you looked  within and saw no sin? This “fearful” question is one the ego never
Tx:21.43  has been already shaken, nor are you now entirely unwilling to look  within and see it not.
Tx:21.44  still is only partial—still limited and incomplete, yet born  within you. Not wholly mad, you have been willing to look on much of

Tx:22.1  individual perception, seen in the other yet believed by each to be  within himself. And each one seems to make a different error, and one
Tx:22.3  relationship starts from a different premise. Each one has looked  within and seen no lack. Accepting his completion, he would extend it
Tx:22.37  one is valued because he seems to justify the other's sin. He sees  within the other what impels him to sin against his will. And thus he
Tx:22.49  looks like an enormous solid body, immovable as is a mountain. Yet  within you there is a Force which no illusions can resist. This body
Tx:23.7  War is impossible unless belief in victory is cherished. Conflict  within you must imply that you believe the ego has the power to be
Tx:23.25  Who caused it and to Whom appeal is useless. Nor can salvation lie  within the Son, whose every aspect seems to be at war with Him and
Tx:23.45  and that attack is justified on its behalf cannot perceive it lies  within them. How could they know? Could they accept forgiveness side

Tx:24.19 Think of the loveliness that you will see  within yourself when you have looked on him as on a friend. He is the

Tx:24.45  the way. His love for God replaces all the fear you thought you saw  within yourself. His holiness shows you Himself in him whose hand you
Tx:24.48  He is one with you and that this Oneness is endless, timeless, and  within your grasp because your hands are His. He is within you, yet
Tx:24.48  timeless, and within your grasp because your hands are His. He is  within you, yet He walks beside you and before, leading the way that
Tx:24.51  failed to lay before you lovingly as yours forever. And no thought  within His Mind is absent from your own. It is His Will you share His
Tx:24.54  for everywhere and find no sight nor place nor time where He is not.  Within your brother's holiness, the perfect frame for your salvation

Tx:24.67  one, and one with Him. This is the state of true creation, found not  within time, but in eternity. To no one here is this describable. Nor
Tx:24.71  with no provisions made for evidence beyond itself and no escape  within its sight. Its course is sure when seen through its own eyes.
Tx:24.72  do you see outside yourself, your own beloved son. The other rests  within, His Father's Son, within your brother as he is in you. Their
Tx:24.72  your own beloved son. The other rests within, His Father's Son,  within your brother as he is in you. Their difference does not lie in
Tx:25.1  not a body. Yet He is in you. And thus it must be that you are not  within a body. What is within you cannot be outside. And it is

Tx:25.2  within his holiness, as plain to see as is his specialness set forth  within his body.
Tx:25.8  Christ and His Father never have been separate, and Christ abides  within your understanding in the part of you that shares His Father's

Tx:25.10  of a Oneness which unites all things within itself. And so What is  within this mind and does unite all things together must be its
Tx:25.15 Its past has failed. Be glad that it is gone  within your mind to darken what is there. Take not the form for
Tx:25.16  as a body, it is but this you do. The masterpiece that God has set  within this frame is all there is to see. The body holds it for a

Tx:25.35  the world cannot destroy. For it is large enough to hold the world  within its peace.
Tx:25.46  and fulfills the part assigned to him to make himself complete  within a world where incompletion rules.
Tx:25.52  a place of madness. Not one Thought of His makes any sense at all  within this world. And nothing that the world believes as true has
Tx:25.55  who believe theirs is the way to sanity. But sin is equally insane  within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would look beyond the
Tx:25.58  From this position does his sinfulness and all the sin he sees  within the world offer him less and less— until he comes to
Tx:25.69  friend. What could He be to them except a devil dressed to deceive  within an angel's cloak? And what escape has He for them except a
Tx:25.75  circumstance that this is true. Nor need you look to your experience  within the world, which is but shadows of all that is really
Tx:25.75  the world, which is but shadows of all that is really happening  within yourself. The understanding which you need comes not of you
Tx:26.2  and what is out can never reach and join with what is locked away  within the wall. Each part must sacrifice the other part to keep
Tx:26.4  asked of anyone. What witness to the wholeness of God's Son is seen  within a world of separate bodies, however much he witnesses to
Tx:26.9 Condemn him not by seeing him  within the rotting prison where he sees himself. It is your special
Tx:26.23  of alternatives for choice. That there is choice is an illusion. Yet  within this one lies the undoing of every illusion, not excepting
Tx:26.25  in boundless love could need forgiveness. And what is charity  within the world gives way to simple justice past the gate that opens
Tx:26.29  still. And each one joins the singing at the altar which was raised  within the tiny spot that sin proclaimed to be its own. And what was
Tx:26.32  tick of time in which the first mistake was made, and all of them  within that one mistake, held also the Correction for that one and
Tx:26.32  held also the Correction for that one and all of them that came  within the first. And in that tiny instant time was gone, for that
Tx:26.56  and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer will creation rise  within you to replace the world you see with Heaven, wholly perfect
Tx:26.56  can remain unhealed and broken from a Unity Which holds all things  within Itself? There is no sin. And every miracle is possible the
Tx:26.65  circumstance it cannot answer and no problem which is not resolved  within its gracious light.
Tx:26.71  be perceived in future time. No more can it be overlooked except  within the present. Future loss is not your fear. But present joining
Tx:26.72 The plans you make for safety all are laid  within the future, where you cannot plan. No purpose has been given
Tx:26.72  For a miracle is now. It stands already here in present grace,  within the only interval of time which sin and fear have overlooked
Tx:26.77  Regard him gently. Look with loving eyes on him who carries Christ  within him, that you may behold His glory and rejoice that Heaven is
Tx:26.82  up. There is no place in Heaven holier. And They have come to dwell  within the temple offered them, to be Their resting-place as well as
Tx:26.84  a cross stands now the risen Christ, and ancient scars are healed  within His sight. An ancient miracle has come to bless and to replace
Tx:26.90  is fair because the Holy Spirit has brought injustice to the light  within, and there has all unfairness been resolved and been replaced
Tx:27.9  that sin and death are real, and innocence and sin will end alike  within the termination of the grave. If this were true, there would
Tx:27.24  to a half. And these two halves appear to represent a split  within a self perceived as two.]
Tx:27.34  concepts. Though it is but half the picture and is incomplete,  within itself it is the same. The other half of what it represents
Tx:27.38 Attempt to solve no problems but  within the holy instant's surety. For there the problem will be
Tx:27.38  answered, but only to restate its point of view. All questions asked  within this world are but a way of looking, not a question asked. A
Tx:27.40  It dictates the answer even as it asks. Thus is all questioning  within the world a form of propaganda for itself. Just as the body's
Tx:27.40  for itself. Just as the body's witnesses are but the senses from  within itself, so are the answers to the questions of the world
Tx:27.40  itself, so are the answers to the questions of the world contained  within the questions. Where answers represent the questions, they add
Tx:27.41  for he does not want an honest answer where the conflict ends. Only  within the holy instant can an honest question honestly be asked. And
Tx:27.42  the mind is still enough to hear an answer which is not entailed  within the question asked. It offers something new and different from
Tx:27.43  from them, and see what can be answered—what the question is.  Within the world the answers merely raise another question, though
Tx:27.47  for the One Who blesses you loves all the world and leaves nothing  within the world that could be feared. But if you shrink from
Tx:27.50  forms. All learning aims at transfer, which becomes complete  within two situations which are seen as one, for only common elements
Tx:27.51  not the way that you perceive them. You are wrong, but there is One  within you Who is right.
Tx:27.53  to let you understand that you have benefited from it. What occurred  within the instant which love entered in without attack will stay
Tx:27.54  This is the law of purpose, which unites all those who share in it  within itself. Pleasure and pain are equally unreal, because their
Tx:27.55  witness is the same and carries but one message: “You are here  within this body, and you can be hurt. You can have pleasure, too,
Tx:27.56 This body, purposeless  within itself, holds all your memories and all your hopes. You use
Tx:27.57  it is not real. For nothing could contain what you believe it holds  within. Nor could it tell a part of God Himself what it should feel
Tx:27.59  but a single sound—a call for healing and a plaintive cry for help  within a world of misery. It is their sameness that the miracle
Tx:27.65  a need. The world's escape from condemnation is a need which those  within the world are joined in sharing. Yet they do not recognize
Tx:27.67  you should look to find the truth. The witnesses to sin all stand  within one little space. And it is here you find the cause of your
Tx:27.69  shadow, leaping up and down according to a senseless plot conceived  within the idle dreaming of the world.
Tx:27.83  God which can attack itself; a separate brother as an enemy; a mind  within a body, all are forms of circularity whose ending starts at
Tx:27.83  brings its vengeance, not your own. It keeps you narrowly confined  within a body, which it punishes because of all the sinful things the
Tx:27.83  which it punishes because of all the sinful things the body does  within its dream. You have no power to make the body stop its evil
Tx:28.5  nor appoint what it is for. Like to the body, it is purposeless  within itself. And if it seems to serve to cherish ancient hate and
Tx:28.5  made to keep the past alive, the present dead, are stored  within it, waiting your command that they be brought to you and lived
Tx:28.17  must all healing come about because the mind is recognized as not  within the body, and its innocence is quite apart from it and where
Tx:28.18  causelessness is given no effects and none are seen. A mind  within a body and a world of other bodies, each with separate minds,
Tx:28.20  This world is causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed  within the world. No plans are possible and no design exists that
Tx:28.34  and golden dreams of happiness as all the treasures you would keep  within the storehouse of the world. The door is open, not to thieves
Tx:28.34  break it into days and months and years? And what are you who live  within the world except a picture of the Son of God in broken pieces,
Tx:28.34  except a picture of the Son of God in broken pieces, each concealed  within a separate and uncertain bit of clay?
Tx:28.44  evil dream, this is the picture that the miracle will place  within the little gap, left clean of all the seeds of sickness and of
Tx:28.46  and what is not of Him has no effects. What then would you perceive  within the gap? The seeds of sickness come from the belief that there
Tx:28.51  not the body's ears and eyes perceive these countless fragments seen  within the gap which you imagined, and let them persuade their maker
Tx:28.53  and you behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that you will see  within yourself when you have lost the fear of recognizing love.
Tx:28.66  and yet this house will stand forever, for its strength lies not  within itself alone. It is an ark of safety, resting on God's promise
Tx:29.5  seen between you. Thus do you endow it with a power that lies not  within itself. And herein lies its power over you. For now you think
Tx:29.21  built to keep apart all living things who know not that they live.  Within the dream of bodies and of death is yet one theme of truth—
Tx:29.22  And as you see him shining in the space of light where God abides  within the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his body
Tx:29.24  must be as bright as shines in him. This is the spark that shines  within the dream—that you can help him waken and be sure his waking
Tx:29.26  of fear, no matter what the form it seems to take. The fear is seen  within, without, or both. Or it can be disguised in pleasant form.
Tx:29.32 The changelessness of Heaven is in you, so deep  within that nothing in this world but passes by, unnoticed and
Tx:29.32  might of its Creator; nothing can intrude upon the sacred Son of God  within. Here is the role the Holy Spirit gives to you who wait upon
Tx:29.45  appears to be outside himself. Yet does he seek to kill God's Son  within and prove that he is victor over him. This is the purpose
Tx:29.46  Seek not outside yourself. The search implies you are not whole  within and fear to look upon your devastation and prefer to seek
Tx:29.48 All idols of this world were made to keep the truth  within from being known to you and to maintain allegiance to the
Tx:29.48  happy. It is vain to worship idols in the hope of peace. God dwells  within, and your completion lies in Him. No idol takes His place.
Tx:29.49  of idols found outside yourself, with power to make complete what is  within by splitting what you are between the two. You choose your
Tx:29.53  the misery the world reflects. This is the penalty for looking not  within for certainty and quiet calm which liberates you from the
Tx:29.55  to a sign of death. Its form is nowhere, for its source abides  within your mind, where God abideth not. Where is this place where
Tx:29.60  purpose here. For more than Heaven can you never have. If Heaven is  within, why would you seek for idols which would make of Heaven less,
Tx:29.63  that who judges him will not escape the penalty he laid upon himself  within the dream he made. God knows of justice, not of penalty. But
Tx:29.64  accomplished and have done to make you sinful and put out the light  within you. Little children, it is there. You do but dream, and idols
Tx:29.68  the holiness which never left the altar which abides forever deep  within the Son of God. And when he hears this song again, he knows he
Tx:30.39  you lose the understanding of its purpose. So you see your will  within the idol, thus reducing it to a specific form. Yet this could
Tx:30.43  thought of you. And so there are no separate parts in what exists  within God's Mind. It is forever one, eternally united and at peace.
Tx:30.44  and will be just the same when you remember. And it is the same  within the interval when you forgot.
Tx:30.64  of the world of fear when you have recognized Whose hand you hold!  Within your hand is everything you need to walk with perfect
Tx:30.76  image of yourself that is not whole and will remain afraid to look  within and find escape from every idol there. Salvation rests on
Tx:31.8  you will understand it was this call that everyone and everything  within the world has always made, but you had not perceived it as it
Tx:31.11  you want disaster and disunity and pain. Hear not the call for this  within yourself. But listen, rather, to the deeper call beyond it
Tx:31.28  on its own and motivate itself. If you are sin, you lock the mind  within the body, and you give its purpose to its prison-house, which
Tx:31.29  its prisoner. And it grows old and dies because that mind is sick  within itself. Learning is all that causes change. And so the body,
Tx:31.33  And you are in control of outcomes of your choosing. Thus you think  within the narrow band from birth to death a little time is given you
Tx:31.35  point and go beyond it. It is true indeed there is no choice at all  within the world. But this is not the lesson in itself. The lesson
Tx:31.36  which you see the purpose of the lesson shining clear, and perfectly  within your learning grasp.
Tx:31.41  worldly goal is one with His. What road in all the world will lead  within, when every road was made to separate the journey from the
Tx:31.44  suffering and sometimes offers solace. It believes that it is good  within an evil world.
Tx:31.49  be used to demonstrate the world is real. For all of them are made  within the world, born in its shadow, growing in its ways, and
Tx:31.64  place. How is this done? It is not done at all. What could there be  within the universe which God created that must still be done?
Tx:31.73  to hold it past the hope of change and keep it static and concealed  within your mind. Give it instead to Him Who understands the changes
Tx:31.75 Behold your role  within the universe! To every part of true creation has the Lord of
Tx:31.78  For holiness is seen through holy eyes that look upon the innocence  within and thus expect to see it everywhere. And so they call it
Tx:31.93  I ask for nothing but your own release. There is no place for hell  within a world whose loveliness can yet be so intense and so
W1:4.3  of learning to see the meaningless as outside you and the meaningful  within. It is also the beginning of training your mind to recognize
W1:10.3  thoughts of which you are aware are meaningless, outside rather than  within, and then stressed their past rather than their present
W1:30.3  applies to everything you do see now or could see now if it were  within the range of your sight.
W1:30.5  your eyes closed, using whatever subjects come to mind and looking  within rather than without. Today's idea applies equally to both.
W1:31.1  be applied to both the world you see without and the world you see  within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of practice which
W1:41.2  it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may take. Deep  within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through
W1:41.4  not believe all this. How could you, when the truth is hidden deep  within under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and obscuring,
W1:44.2 In order to see, you must recognize that light is  within, not without. You do not see outside yourself, nor is the
W1:50.3  illusions. They will fail you. Put all your faith in the Love of God  within you, eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the
W1:57.6  my brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep  within myself. The world I look upon has taken on the light of my
W1:70.15 My salvation comes from me. Nothing outside of me can hold me back.  Within me is the world's salvation and my own.
W1:73.5  will look for it. Your picture of the world can only mirror what is  within. The source of neither light nor darkness can be found
W1:77.3  the world you made. You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is  within you and can never be lost. We ask no more than what belongs to
W1:85.5  myself. It is not found outside and then brought in. But from  within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect
W1:91.4  When you have felt the strength in you which makes all miracles  within your easy reach, you will not doubt. The miracles your sense
W1:95.1 Today's idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one  within yourself and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation.
W1:95.18  the Son of God Himself, sinless as its Creator, with His strength  within you and His love forever yours. You are One Self, and it is
W1:95.18  yours. You are One Self, and it is given you to feel this Self  within you and to cast all your illusions out of the One Mind which
W1:95.20  do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the truth  within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace. Your own
W1:96.3 Problems that have no meaning cannot be resolved  within the framework they are set. Two selves in conflict could not
W1:96.5  mind can also see itself divorced from Spirit and perceive itself  within a body it confuses with itself. Without its function then, it
W1:96.8 Your Self retains its thoughts, and they remain  within your mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy Spirit holds
W1:96.9  One Self. Our hourly five minute practicing will be a search for Him  within your mind. Salvation comes from this One Self through Him Who
W1:99.3  be a meeting place at all where earth and Heaven can be reconciled  within a mind where both of them exist? The mind that sees illusions
W1:99.5  Holy Spirit holds this plan of God exactly as it was received of Him  within the Mind of God and in your own. It is apart from time in that
W1:100.9  this you came. Let this one be the day that you succeed! Look deep  within you, undismayed by all the little thoughts and foolish goals
W1:102.6 Then seek this function deep  within your mind, for it is there, awaiting but your choice. You
W1:103.6 Allow this one correction to be placed  within your mind each waking hour today. Then welcome all the
W1:104.3 These are the gifts which are  within us now, for they are timeless. And we need not wait to have
W1:104.7 We clear a holy place  within our minds before His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy
W1:106.3  past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness  within His hand, held out to you in welcome and in love. Hear only
W1:109.9 You rest  within the peace of God today and call upon your brothers from your
W1:109.10  friends—bid them all enter here and rest with you. You rest  within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother comes
W1:110.4  from His, no split between your mind and other minds, and only unity  within your own.

W1:124.2 How holy are our minds! And everything we see reflects the holiness  within the mind at one with God and with itself. How easily do errors

W1:125.1  Your Father wills you hear His Word today. He calls to you from deep  within your mind where He abides. Hear Him today. No peace is
W1:125.4  time of peace. We gather at the throne of God today, the quiet place  within the mind where He abides forever in the holiness which He
W1:125.6  desires have been stilled. Await His Word in quiet. There is peace  within you to be called upon today to help make ready your most holy
W1:127.5  the truth of what love is, and what you are as well. Seek not  within the world to find your Self. Love is not found in darkness and
W1:127.8  has promised this. And He Himself will place a spark of truth  within your mind wherever you give up a false belief, a dark illusion
W1:128.5  its aspects and its phases and its dreams. We hold it purposeless  within our minds and loosen it from all we wish it were. Thus do we

W1:131.1  where there is none, for safety in the midst of danger, immortality  within the darkness of the dream of death. Who could succeed where
W1:132.4  strikes it everywhere because you hold the bitter thought of death  within your mind. The world is nothing in itself. Your mind must give
W1:132.11  because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the world  within your mind in thought.
W1:133.10  the ego's hidden goals. And though he tries to keep its halo clear  within his vision, yet must he perceive its tarnished edges and its

W1:135.27  in you, for now you come without defense to learn the part for you  within the plan of God. What little plans or magical beliefs can

W1:151.12  beyond the body and the world, past every witness for unholiness,  within the Holy, holy as Itself. In everyone and everything, His
W1:152.6  the afraid, the suffering and lonely, and the mind that lives  within a body that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think
W1:153.2  for there is treachery without and still a greater treachery  within. The mind is now confused and knows not where to turn to find
W1:153.10  think how holy is your purpose, how secure you rest, untouchable  within its light. God's ministers have chosen that the truth be with
W1:154.1  our worth, nor can we know what role is best for us; what we can do  within a larger plan we cannot see in its entirety. Our part is cast
W1:158.6  of doubt and shadows made with the intangible. Here is a quiet place  within the world made holy by forgiveness and by love. Here are all
W1:159.6  no sickness not already healed, no lack unsatisfied, no need unmet  within this golden treasury of Christ.
W1:162.1  to the world you made. By them it disappears, and all things seen  within its misty clouds and vaporous illusions vanish as these words
W1:163.2  thought of death seem mighty. For it seems to hold all living things  within its withered hand; all hopes and wishes in its blighting
W1:163.4  as this? Here is the strength and might of God Himself perceived  within an idol made of dust. Here is the opposite of God proclaimed
W1:164.6  to the world. Your vision, given you from far beyond all things  within the world, looks back on them in a new light. And what you see
W1:164.8  Your trifling treasures put away and leave a clean and open space  within your mind where Christ can come and offer you the treasure of
W1:165.4  comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you. Conviction lies  within it. Till you welcome it as yours, uncertainty remains. Yet God
W1:165.7  certain. And the Thought of Him is never absent. Sureness must abide  within you who are host to Him. This course removes all doubts which
W1:167.6  change what is its waking state. It cannot make a body nor abide  within a body. What is alien to the mind does not exist because it

W1:170.4  the enemy without that you attack. Yet your defense sets up an enemy  within—an alien thought at war with you, depriving you of peace,

W1:182.7  patience has no limits. He will wait until you hear His gentle Voice  within you, calling you to let Him go in peace along with you to

W1:183.6  as you sit with him in silence and repeat God's Name along with him  within your quiet minds, you have established there an altar which
W1:183.11  is given you. No prayer but this is necessary, for it holds them all  within it. words are insignificant and all requests unneeded when
W1:184.11  One Name, One Meaning, and a single Source Which unifies all things  within Itself. Use all the names the world bestows on them but for

W1:188.6  you. Exclude the outer world and let your thoughts fly to the peace  within. They know the way. For honest thoughts, untainted by the

W1:188.8  we share with God. We will not let them stray. We let the light  within our minds direct them to come home. We have betrayed them,

W1:189.4  them, the joy with which they look out from the endless wells of joy  within. What they have felt in them they look upon and see its sure
W1:189.5  forget this law of seeing: you will look upon that which you feel  within. If hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive
W1:189.5  will look upon that which you feel within. If hatred finds a place  within your heart, you will perceive a fearful world, held cruelly in

W1:191.2  this to you. There is no sound that does not speak of frailty  within you and without, no breath you draw that does not seem to
W1:192.1  one with God and with your Self. Yet what can such a function mean  within a world of envy, hatred, and attack? Therefore you have a
W1:194.8  perception? Who entrusts himself to God has also placed the world  within the hands to which he has himself appealed for comfort and

W1:106.5  and all your brothers to be kept. Hear Him today, and listen to the  Word which lifts the veil which lies upon the earth and wakes all
W1:106.6  Him your voice to speak to all the multitudes who wait to hear the  Word that He will speak today. Be ready for salvation. It is here and
W1:106.11  thousand minds are opened to the truth. And they will hear the holy  Word you hear. And when the hour is past, you will again release a
W1:106.12 Today the holy  Word of God is kept through your receiving it to give away, so you
W1:106.12  not forget today to reinforce your choice to hear and to receive the  Word by this reminder, given to yourself as often as is possible

W1:110.8  power to save whoever touches Him however lightly, asking for the  Word that tells him he is brother unto Him.
W1:110.13 Let us declare this truth as often as we can. This is the  Word of God that sets you free. This is the key that opens up the
W1:114.3  God's plan for salvation. What can my function be but to accept the  Word of God, Who has created me, for what I am and will forever be?
W1:123.4  thanks that in our solitude a Friend has come to speak the saving  Word of God to us.
W1:123.5 And thanks to you for listening to Him. His  Word is soundless if it be not heard. In thanking Him the thanks are
W1:125.1  of stillness and of quiet listening. Your Father wills you hear His  Word today. He calls to you from deep within your mind where He
W1:125.1  mind where He abides. Hear Him today. No peace is possible until His  Word is heard around the world; until your mind, in quiet listening,
W1:125.2  is simply this: the Son of God is free to save himself, given the  Word of God to be his Guide, forever in his mind and at his side to
W1:125.3  without our personal desires, and without all judgment of His holy  Word. We will not judge ourselves today, for what we are cannot be
W1:125.3  Today we will not listen to the world, but wait in silence for the  Word of God.
W1:125.4  Son of God, your Father speak. His Voice would give to you His holy  Word to spread across the world the tidings of salvation and the holy
W1:125.5 He has not waited until you return your mind to Him to give His  Word to you. He has not hid Himself from you while you have wandered
W1:125.6 Today He speaks to you. His Voice awaits your silence, for His  Word cannot be heard until your mind is quiet for a while and
W1:125.6  for a while and meaningless desires have been stilled. Await His  Word in quiet. There is peace within you to be called upon today to
W1:125.7  listening to the world and choose instead a gentle listening to the  Word of God. He speaks from nearer than your heart to you. His Voice
W1:125.8 It is your voice to which you listen as He speaks to you. It is your  Word He speaks. It is the Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of
W1:125.8  you listen as He speaks to you. It is your Word He speaks. It is the  Word of freedom and of peace, of unity of will and purpose, with no
W1:125.9  from the body's eyes. Only be still and listen. You will hear the  Word in which the Will of God the Son joins in His Father's Will, at
W1:125.10  you have a special purpose for this day—in quiet to receive the  Word of God.
W1:137.16  give as you receive, to hold but what you give, and to receive the  Word of God to take the place of all the foolish thoughts that ever
W1:140.1 Cure is a  word that cannot be applied to any remedy the world accepts as
W1:R4.10  hurry now, for you are using time for its intended purpose. Let each  word shine with the meaning God has given it as it was given to you
W1:R4.12  God offers thanks to you who practice thus the keeping of His  Word. And as you give your mind to the ideas for the day again before
W1:143.1 [125] In quiet I receive God's  Word today.
W1:151.9 And thus He judges you. Accept His  word of what you are, for He bears witness to your beautiful creation

W1:154.10  and for us, joining in One Voice the getting and the giving of God's  Word, the giving and receiving of His Will.
W1:162.2 Here is the  Word by which the Son became His Father's happiness, His Love, and
W1:165.7  ourselves to give us certainty. And in His Name we practice as His  Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His
W1:166.9  self you thought was you may not be your identity. Perhaps God's  Word is truer than your own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real.

W1:169.4  be and has determined it. And yet we urge you to bear witness to the  Word of God to hasten the experience of truth and speed its advent
W1:R5.2  to us. We have no words to give to You. We would but listen to Your  Word and make it ours. Lead our practicing as does a father lead a
W1:R5.3  we may walk more certainly and quickly unto You. And we accept the  Word You offer us to unify our practicing, as we review the thoughts
W1:183.7  but once. And then God's Name becomes our only thought, our only  word, the only thing that occupies our minds, the only wish we have,

W1:184.13  meaning of the Name of God. Experience must come to supplement the  word. But first you must accept One Name for all reality, and realize
W1:188.7  when you refuse to listen. And they urge you gently to accept His  Word for what you are instead of fantasies and shadows. They remind
W1:192.4  and leaves the world a clean and unmarked slate on which the  Word of God can now replace the senseless symbols written there
W1:195.7  last to us. An ancient door is swinging free again; a long forgotten  Word re-echoes in our memory and gathers clarity as we are willing
W1:198.6  all will merge as one at last. And as this one will fade away, the  Word of God will come to take its place, for it will be remembered
W1:198.13  the face of earth, made quiet in a dreamless sleep. And now the  Word of God alone remains upon it. Only that can be perceived an
W2:I.4 Now do we come to Him with but His  Word upon our minds and hearts. And wait for Him to take the step to
W2:228.1  I accept as true what He proclaims as false? Or shall I take His  Word for what I am since He is my Creator and the One Who knows the
W2:228.2  are dreams. I let them go today. And I stand ready to receive Your  Word alone for what I really am.
W2:WS.1  all the thoughts that have been born in time will end as well. God's  Word is given every mind which thinks that it has separate thoughts

W2:234.2  the loving help we have received, for Your eternal patience, and the  Word which You have given us that we are saved.
W2:245.2  we come to hear the Voice of God, Who speaks to us as we relate His  Word, Whose Love we recognize because we share the Word that He has

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

W2:WISC.1  what is forever and forever true. It is the invitation to God's  Word to take illusion's place, the willingness to let forgiveness
W2:315.1  smiles upon another, and my heart is gladdened. Someone speaks a  word of gratitude or mercy, and my mind perceives this gift and takes
W2:327.2  Let me attempt therefore to try them and to judge them not. Your  word is one with You. You give the means whereby conviction comes,

W2:WIM.3  the world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid before the  Word of God upon the universal altar to Creator and creation, in the
W2:341.2 Let us not then attack our sinlessness. For it contains the  Word of God to us, and in its kind reflection we are saved.

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

W1:161.4  Yet do these thoughts make clear the meaning of creation? Do these  words bring perfect clarity with them to you? What can they seem to
W1:162.1  in learning. It will mean far more to you as you advance. These  words are sacred, for they are the words God gave in answer to the
W1:162.1  more to you as you advance. These words are sacred, for they are the  words God gave in answer to the world you made. By them it
W1:162.1  seen within its misty clouds and vaporous illusions vanish as these  words are spoken. For they come from God.
W1:162.2  creation is proclaimed and honored as it is. There is no dream these  words will not dispel, no thought of sin, and no illusion that the
W1:162.3 Holy indeed is he who makes these  words his own—arising with them in his mind, recalling them
W1:162.3  he gives the world what he receives each time he practices the  words of truth.
W1:162.4 Today we practice simply. For the  words we use are mighty, and they need no thoughts beyond themselves
W1:162.6  with one like him in holiness? You are as God created you. These  words dispel the night, and darkness is no more. The light is come
W1:168.6  because He loves His Son. To Him we pray today, returning but the  words He gave to us through His Own Voice, His Word, His Love:
W1:169.5  We say “God is,” and then we cease to speak, for in that knowledge  words are meaningless. There are no lips to speak them and no part of
W1:169.9  to do, for those in time can speak of things beyond and listen to  words which explain what is to come is past already. Yet what meaning
W1:169.9  explain what is to come is past already. Yet what meaning can the  words convey to those who count the hours still and rise and work and
W1:R5.2  be quiet and our holy minds be still, and speak to us. We have no  words to give to You. We would but listen to Your Word and make it
W1:R5.11  then your gift to me. For this alone I need—that you will hear the  words I speak and give them to the world. You are my voice, my eyes,
W1:R5.14  And with this thought we sleep, to waken once again with these same  words upon our lips to greet another day. No thought that we review
W1:R5.14  thus when we have finished this review, we will have recognized the  words we speak are true.
W1:R5.15 Yet are the  words but aids and to be used, except at the beginning and the end of
W1:R5.15  and recognize that it is only here conviction lies. We use the  words, and try and try again to go beyond them to their meaning,
W1:I2.2  goal. We are attempting now to lift these blocks, however briefly.  Words alone cannot convey the sense of liberation which their lifting
W1:I2.2  see speaks for itself. Your motivation will be so intensified that  words become of little consequence. You will be sure of what you want

Tx:6.13  most outrageous assault as judged by the ego did not matter. As the  world judges these things, but not as God knows them, I was betrayed,

Tx:7.71 That is the negative side of the law as it operates in this  world. Yet denial is a defense, and so it is as capable of being used

Tx:9.79  Son knows no idols, but he does know his Father. Health in this  world is the counterpart of value in Heaven. It is not my merit that
Tx:10.25  for your joy could no more be contained than His. The bleak little  world will vanish into nothingness, and your heart will be so filled
Tx:10.69 The  world as you perceive it cannot have been created by the Father, for
Tx:10.69  as you perceive it cannot have been created by the Father, for the  world is not as you see it. God created only the eternal, and
Tx:10.69  everything you see is perishable. Therefore, there must be another  world which you do not see. The Bible speaks of a new Heaven and a
Tx:10.69  in the interval, you were not perceiving at all. What, then, is the  world that awaits your perception when you see it?
Tx:10.70  of God ever had is eternal. Those which his mind perceived in this  world are the world's only reality. They are still perceptions
Tx:10.70  loving, they are like the Father and therefore cannot die. The real  world can actually be perceived. All that is necessary is a
Tx:10.71  what you have made that is true is like Him. Only this is the real  world, and perceiving only this will lead you to the real Heaven
Tx:10.72  between yourselves and your Creator, and these beliefs are the  world as you perceive it. Truth is not absent here, but it is
Tx:10.73 To believe that you can perceive the real  world is to believe that you can know yourself. You can know God
Tx:10.73  You can know God because it is His Will to be known. The real  world is all that the Holy Spirit has saved for you out of what you
Tx:10.74  necessary. But do you believe it? When you have perceived the real  world, you will recognize that you did not believe it. Yet the
Tx:10.75  and the true. For as Heaven and earth become one, even the real  world will vanish from your sight. The end of the world is not its
Tx:10.75  one, even the real world will vanish from your sight. The end of the  world is not its destruction, but its translation into Heaven. The
Tx:10.75  but its translation into Heaven. The re-interpretation of the  world is the transfer of all perception to knowledge. The Bible tells
Tx:10.82  Children of God, you do not understand your Father. You believe in a  world that takes, because you believe that you can get by taking. And
Tx:10.82  by taking. And by that perception, you have lost sight of the real  world. You are afraid of the world as you see it, but the real world
Tx:10.82  you have lost sight of the real world. You are afraid of the  world as you see it, but the real world is still yours for the
Tx:10.82  real world. You are afraid of the world as you see it, but the real  world is still yours for the asking. Do not deny it to yourself, for
Tx:10.85 In the real  world there is no sickness, for there is no separation and no
Tx:10.86  you will not accept your healing without his. For you share the real  world as you share Heaven, and his healing is yours. To love yourself
Tx:10.90  When you perceive yourself without deceit, you will accept the real  world in place of the false one you have made. And then your Father
Tx:11.23  is His only purpose. Do you not have greater reason for fearing the  world as you perceive it than for looking at the cause of fear and
Tx:11.24  This is what I meant: If you had no investment in anything in this  world, you could teach the poor where their treasure is. The poor are
Tx:11.29  to handle it by making some sort of insane “arrangement” with the  world. He always perceives this world as outside himself, for this is
Tx:11.29  of insane “arrangement” with the world. He always perceives this  world as outside himself, for this is crucial to his adjustment. He
Tx:11.29  is crucial to his adjustment. He does not realize that he makes this  world, for there is no world outside of him.
Tx:11.29  He does not realize that he makes this world, for there is no  world outside of him.
Tx:11.30  the loving thoughts of God's Son are the world's reality, the real  world must be in his mind. His insane thoughts, too, must be in his
Tx:11.30  the split, not the reality. Everything you perceive as the outside  world is merely your attempt to maintain your ego identification, for
Tx:11.31 You are at odds with the  world as you perceive it because you think it is antagonistic to you.
Tx:11.31  rid of it and why you must get rid of it before you can perceive the  world as it really is.
Tx:11.32 We once said that God so loved the  world that He gave it to His only-begotten Son. God does love the
Tx:11.32  that He gave it to His only-begotten Son. God does love the real  world, and those who perceive its reality cannot see the world of
Tx:11.32  the real world, and those who perceive its reality cannot see the  world of death. For death is not of the real world, in which
Tx:11.32  reality cannot see the world of death. For death is not of the real  world, in which everything is eternal. God gave you the real world in
Tx:11.32  real world, in which everything is eternal. God gave you the real  world in exchange for the one you made out of your split mind, and
Tx:11.32  separate yourselves from the Mind of God, you would die, and the  world you perceive is a world of separation.
Tx:11.32  from the Mind of God, you would die, and the world you perceive is a  world of separation.

Tx:11.33  that is why you have no control over the world you made. It is not a  world of will because it is governed by the desire to be unlike Him,
Tx:11.33  by the desire to be unlike Him, and this desire is not will. The  world you made is therefore totally chaotic, governed by arbitrary
Tx:11.34 Yet this  world is only in the mind of its maker along with his real salvation.
Tx:11.35 You have defiled the altar but not the  world. Yet Christ has placed the Atonement on the altar for you.
Tx:11.35  the Atonement on the altar for you. Bring your perceptions of the  world to this altar, for it is the altar to truth. There you will see
Tx:11.35  and where you are welcome, you will look out in peace and behold the  world truly. Yet to find the place, you must relinquish your
Tx:11.35  Yet to find the place, you must relinquish your investment in the  world as you have projected it, allowing the Holy Spirit to project
Tx:11.35  you have projected it, allowing the Holy Spirit to project the real  world to you from the altar of God.
Tx:11.40 You will undertake a journey because you are not at home in this  world. And you will search for your home whether you know where it is
Tx:11.53 The ego is trying to teach you how to gain the whole  world and lose your own Soul. The Holy Spirit teaches that you cannot
Tx:11.53  teaches that you cannot lose your Soul and there is no gain in the  world, for of itself it profits nothing. To invest in something
Tx:11.55 You do not want the  world. The only thing of value in it is whatever part of it you look
Tx:11.55  come from the projection of loving thoughts outward. Make the  world real unto yourself, for the real world is the gift of the Holy
Tx:11.55  thoughts outward. Make the world real unto yourself, for the real  world is the gift of the Holy Spirit, and so it belongs to you.
Tx:11.57  and He longs to share His vision with you. He will show you the real  world because God gave you Heaven. Through Him your Father calls His
Tx:11.57  The awakening of His Son begins with his investment in the real  world, and by this he will learn to reinvest in himself. For reality
Tx:11.57  with the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit blesses the real  world in Their Name.
Tx:11.58 When you have seen this real  world, as you will surely do, you will remember us. Yet you must
Tx:11.58  to pay it. Only then will you decide to awaken. And then the real  world will spring to your sight, for Christ has never slept. He is
Tx:11.58  for He has never lost sight of you. He looks quietly on the real  world, which He would share with you because He knows of the Father's
Tx:11.60  upon Himself, loving the extension of Himself which is His Son. The  world has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. For the
Tx:11.60  has no purpose as it blends into the purpose of God. For the real  world has slipped quietly into Heaven, where everything eternal in it
Tx:11.61  and by applying them to all situations, you will gain the real  world. For in this holy perception, you will be made whole, and the
Tx:11.62 Everyone in the  world must play his part in the redemption of the world to recognize
Tx:11.62 Everyone in the world must play his part in the redemption of the  world to recognize that the world has been redeemed. You cannot see
Tx:11.62  play his part in the redemption of the world to recognize that the  world has been redeemed. You cannot see the invisible. Yet if you see
Tx:11.63  that He is there. What He enables you to do is clearly not of this  world, for miracles violate every law of reality as this world judges
Tx:11.63  not of this world, for miracles violate every law of reality as this  world judges it. Every law of time and space, of magnitude and mass,
Tx:11.65  and as you look out, so will you see in. Two ways of looking at the  world are in your mind, and your perception will reflect the guidance
Tx:11.67  will make manifest by projection, and you will accept it from the  world because you put it there by wanting it.
Tx:11.68  other because you made them different. The mind then sees a divided  world outside itself but not within. This gives it an illusion of
Tx:11.68  to believe that it is pursuing one goal. As long as you perceive the  world as split, you are not healed. For to be healed is to pursue one
Tx:11.70  of decision is your one remaining freedom as a prisoner of this  world. You can decide to see it right. What you made of it is not its
Tx:11.72  And you will see me as you look within, and we will look upon the  world as God created it together. Through the eyes of Christ, only
Tx:11.72  God created it together. Through the eyes of Christ, only the real  world exists and can be seen. As you decide, so will you see. And all
Tx:11.76  yourself, and you will see only the eternal as you look out upon a  world that cannot die.
Tx:11.77  neither the Father nor the Son because of them. You attack the real  world every day and every hour and every minute, and yet you are
Tx:11.82  is healed. You have made the invisible the only truth that this  world holds. Valuing nothing, you have sought nothing and found
Tx:11.83  Yet by seeking the unreal, what else could you find? The unreal  world is a thing of despair, for it can never be. And you who share
Tx:11.84 The real  world was given you by God in loving exchange for the world you made
Tx:11.84 The real world was given you by God in loving exchange for the  world you made and which you see. But take it from the hand of Christ
Tx:11.86  the separation, as the acceptance of the Atonement is its end. The  world you see is the delusional system of those made mad by guilt.
Tx:11.86  delusional system of those made mad by guilt. Look carefully at this  world, and you will realize that this is so. For this world is the
Tx:11.86  at this world, and you will realize that this is so. For this  world is the symbol of punishment, and all the laws which seem to
Tx:11.87 If this were the real  world, God would be cruel. For no father could subject his children
Tx:11.87  salvation, and this is the ego's interpretation, not God's. Only the  world of guilt could demand this, for only the guilty could conceive
Tx:11.88 This  world is a picture of the crucifixion of God's Son. And until you
Tx:11.88  until you realize that God's Son cannot be crucified, this is the  world you will see. Yet you will not realize this until you accept
Tx:11.90 In this strange  world which you have made, the Son of God has sinned. How could you
Tx:11.90  sinned. How could you see him, then? By making him invisible, the  world of retribution rose in the black cloud of guilt which you
Tx:11.93  in God's Mind. God's Son will always be as he was created. Deny your  world and judge him not, for his eternal guiltlessness is in the mind
Tx:12.13  joyous response to the call of love if you heard it, and the whole  world you think you control would vanish. The Holy Spirit, then,
Tx:12.14  in defiance and that attack is grandeur. You think you have made a  world which God would destroy; and by loving Him, which you do, you
Tx:12.14  would destroy; and by loving Him, which you do, you would throw this  world away, which you would. Therefore, you have used the world to
Tx:12.14  throw this world away, which you would. Therefore, you have used the  world to cover your love, and the deeper you go into the blackness of
Tx:12.23  it is about you. You have been told that your function in this  world is healing, and your function in Heaven is creating. The ego
Tx:12.30  for now is the closest approximation of eternity which this  world offers. It is in the reality of now, without past or future,
Tx:12.32  of time as you interpret yours. If you accept your function in the  world of time as healing, you will emphasize only the aspect of time
Tx:12.33  are not seen and sounds which are not heard. They make up a private  world which cannot be shared. For they are meaningful only to their
Tx:12.33  only to their maker, and so they have no meaning at all. In this  world their maker moves alone, for only he perceives them.
Tx:12.34 Each one peoples his  world with figures from his individual past, and it is because of
Tx:12.35  strange and shadowy figures that the insane relate to their insane  world. For they see only those who remind them of these images, and
Tx:12.35  other because they saw in them a shadow figure in their own private  world. And thus it is that you must attack yourself first, for what
Tx:12.37 You have but two emotions, yet in your private  world you react to each of them as though it were the other. For love
Tx:12.37  each of them as though it were the other. For love cannot abide in a  world apart, where when it comes it is not recognized. If you see
Tx:12.37  you, and believing it is love, you call it to yourself. Your private  world is filled with the figures of fear you have invited into it,
Tx:12.37  offer you, you do not see. As you look with open eyes upon your  world, it must occur to you that you have withdrawn into insanity.
Tx:12.39  you to learn how to deny insanity and come forth from your private  world in peace.
Tx:12.41  and you cannot see in darkness. Yet in the darkness in the private  world of sleep, you see in dreams, although your eyes are closed. And
Tx:12.41  for by it you accept insanity, believing you can make a private  world and rule your own perceptions. Yet for this, light must be
Tx:12.42  as His from love. And He sees for you as your witness to the real  world. He is the Holy Spirit's manifestation, looking always on the
Tx:12.42  He is the Holy Spirit's manifestation, looking always on the real  world and calling forth its witnesses and drawing them unto you. For
Tx:12.44  And with this vision of the truth in them came all the beauty of the  world to shine upon them.
Tx:12.55 There is a light which this  world cannot give. Yet you can give it, as it was given you. And as
Tx:12.55  given you. And as you give it, it shines forth to call you from the  world and follow it. For this light will attract you as nothing in
Tx:12.55  and follow it. For this light will attract you as nothing in this  world can do. And you will lay aside the world and find another. This
Tx:12.55  you as nothing in this world can do. And you will lay aside the  world and find another. This other world is bright with love, which
Tx:12.55  do. And you will lay aside the world and find another. This other  world is bright with love, which you have given it. And here will
Tx:12.55  Father and His Holy Son. Light is unlimited and spreads across this  world in quiet joy. All those you brought with you will shine on you,
Tx:12.57  not alone. Even in sleep has Christ protected you, ensuring the real  world for you when you wake. In your name He has given for you and
Tx:12.58 Sit quietly and look upon the  world you see, and tell yourself,
Tx:12.59 The real  world is not like this. It has no buildings, and there are no streets
Tx:12.60 The  world you see must be denied, for sight of it is costing you a
Tx:12.61 You do not really want the  world you see, for it has disappointed you since time began. The
Tx:12.61  tired and ready to return to dust even as you made it. This aching  world has not the power to touch the living world at all. You could
Tx:12.61  you made it. This aching world has not the power to touch the living  world at all. You could not give it that, and so although you turn in
Tx:12.61  you cannot find in it the road that leads away from it into another  world.
Tx:12.62 Yet the real  world has the power to touch you even here because you love it. And
Tx:12.62  the cries of pain that rise to it from every part of this strange  world you made but do not want. The only effort you need make to give
Tx:12.62  you made but do not want. The only effort you need make to give this  world away in glad exchange for what you did not make is willingness
Tx:12.63 You have been wrong about the  world because you have misjudged yourself. From such a twisted
Tx:12.63  and waits for you to leave the past behind and enter into the  world He holds out to you in love.
Tx:12.64 No one in this distracted  world but has seen some glimpses of the other world about him. Yet
Tx:12.64  one in this distracted world but has seen some glimpses of the other  world about him. Yet while he still lays value on his own, he will
Tx:12.64  he still lays value on his own, he will deny the vision of the other  world, maintaining that he loves what he loves not and following not
Tx:12.64  the joyful journey home. You wait but for yourself. To give this sad  world over and exchange your errors for the peace of God is but your
Tx:12.65  from pain as God Himself, Who watches over him in everything. The  world about him shines with love because God placed him in Himself
Tx:12.65  on love, for it is all about him and within him. He must deny the  world of pain the instant he perceives the arms of love around him.
Tx:12.65  point of safety, he looks quietly about him and recognizes that the  world is one with him.
Tx:12.66  Son forever, and His Son returns his Father's love forever. The real  world is the way that leads you to remembrance of this one thing that
Tx:12.67  In these lie your true perceptions, for the Holy Spirit corrects the  world of dreams, where all perception is. Knowledge needs no

Tx:12.68  because you are lacking. Yet can you find yourself in such a  world? Without the Holy Spirit, the answer would be no. Yet because
Tx:12.69  For what you think you need will merely serve to tighten up your  world against the light and render you unwilling to question the

Tx:12.75  My peace I give you. Take it of me in glad exchange for all the  world has offered but to take away. And we will spread it like a veil

Tx:13.13 The  world can give you only what you gave it, for being nothing but your
Tx:13.17  within you, you will not see the light. And by projecting it, the  world seems dark and shrouded in your guilt. You throw a dark veil
Tx:13.27  The Son of God believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a dark  world where pain is pressing everywhere upon him from without. When
Tx:13.37  There is a sense of peace so deep that no dream in this  world has ever brought even a dim imagining of what it is.
Tx:13.38 Nothing in this  world can give this peace, for nothing in this world is wholly
Tx:13.38 Nothing in this world can give this peace, for nothing in this  world is wholly shared. Perfect perception can merely show you what
Tx:13.47 Yes, you are blessed indeed. Yet in this  world, you do not know it. But you have the means for learning it and
Tx:13.49  if it had been done unto you? Indirect proof of truth is needed in a  world made of denial and without direction. You will perceive the
Tx:13.49  realize that to deny is the decision not to know. The logic of the  world must therefore lead to nothing, for its goal is nothing.
Tx:13.50  is closed off and wholly separated from the truth. This is an insane  world, and do not underestimate the actual extent of its insanity.
Tx:13.51  for the Source of their undoing is in him. There is nothing in the  world to teach him that the logic of the world is totally insane and
Tx:13.51  There is nothing in the world to teach him that the logic of the  world is totally insane and leads to nothing. Yet in him who made
Tx:13.79  you will feel guilty for this imagined crime, which no one in this  world or Heaven could possibly commit. God's Spirit teaches only that
Tx:14.2  Father loves you, for there is no parallel in your experience of the  world to help you understand it. There is nothing on earth with which
Tx:14.5  This is forever changeless. Accept, then, the immutable. Leave the  world of death behind, and return quietly to Heaven. There is nothing
Tx:14.8  joined in the Atonement here, and nothing else can unite us in this  world. So will the world of separation slip away and full
Tx:14.8  here, and nothing else can unite us in this world. So will the  world of separation slip away and full communication be restored
Tx:14.31  clarity and brightness so intense you could not wish for all the  world not to accept what God would have you have. Behold your will,
Tx:14.42 In this  world you can become a spotless mirror in which the Holiness of your
Tx:14.44  that the reflection of God, shining in you, can bring to all the  world, you could not wait to make the mirror of your mind clean to
Tx:14.44  your mind clean to receive the image of the holiness that heals the  world. The image of holiness which shines in your mind is not obscure
Tx:14.46  lay all guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven here and bring this  world to Heaven. For the reflection of truth draws everyone to truth,
Tx:14.47  reality. You on earth have no conception of limitlessness, for the  world you seem to live in is a world of limits. In this world, it is
Tx:14.47  conception of limitlessness, for the world you seem to live in is a  world of limits. In this world, it is not true that anything without
Tx:14.47  for the world you seem to live in is a world of limits. In this  world, it is not true that anything without order of difficulty can
Tx:14.47  and is motivated by a unique Teacher, Who brings the laws of another  world to this one. The miracle is the one thing you can do that
Tx:15.20  and glittering brilliance, which will literally blind you to this  world by its own vision, you cannot supply. And here it is, all in
Tx:15.22  this in place of magnitude, and you accepted it. Everything in this  world is little because it is a world made out of littleness in the
Tx:15.22  you accepted it. Everything in this world is little because it is a  world made out of littleness in the strange belief that littleness
Tx:15.22  littleness can content you. When you strive for anything in this  world with the belief that it will bring you peace, you are
Tx:15.25  for it does require vigilance to protect your magnitude in this  world. To hold your magnitude in perfect awareness in a world of
Tx:15.25  in this world. To hold your magnitude in perfect awareness in a  world of littleness is a task the little cannot undertake. Yet it is

Tx:15.29  season (Christmas), which celebrates the birth of holiness into this  world, join with me, who decided for holiness for you. It is our task
Tx:15.29  His Son's creations, but without leaving you. Far beyond your little  world but still in you, He extends forever. Yet He brings all his
Tx:15.31  where holiness abides in perfect peace. My Kingdom is not of this  world because it is in you. And you are of your Father. Let us join
Tx:15.37  you to fulfill your holy part in the plan that He has given to the  world for its release from littleness. God would have His host abide
Tx:15.60 Herein lies peace, for here there is no conflict. In the  world of scarcity, love has no meaning, and peace is impossible. For
Tx:15.61  laws of God prevail, and only they have meaning. The laws of this  world cease to hold any meaning at all. When the Son of God accepts
Tx:15.79  a teaching assignment such as His, He must use everything in this  world for your release. He must side with every sign or token of your
Tx:15.92  to delay the perfect union of the Father and the Son. For in this  world, the attraction of guilt does stand between them. Neither time
Tx:15.92  them. This is the season when you would celebrate my birth into the  world. Yet you know not how to do it. Let the Holy Spirit teach you,
Tx:16.38  and of His Son established forever. Seek not for this in the bleak  world of illusion, where nothing is certain, and where everything
Tx:16.45  it is not natural at all seem to be the unnatural ones. For this  world is the opposite of Heaven, being made to be its opposite, and
Tx:16.61  investment in seeing it would be withdrawn from it. You see the  world you value.
Tx:16.62 On this side of the bridge, you see the  world of separate bodies seeking to join each other in separate
Tx:16.64  hold on the distorted frame of reference which seemed to hold your  world together. This frame of reference is built around the special
Tx:17.8 This loveliness is not a fantasy. It is the real  world, bright and clean and new with everything sparkling under the
Tx:17.8  there are no fantasies to hide the truth. The bridge between that  world and this is so little and so easy to cross that you could not
Tx:17.8  Yet this little bridge is the strongest thing that touches on this  world at all. This little step, so small it has escaped your notice,
Tx:17.9  one but Him Who planned salvation could complete it thus. The real  world, in its loveliness, you learn to reach. Fantasies are all
Tx:17.10 The stars will disappear in light, and the sun which opened up the  world to beauty will vanish. Perception will be meaningless when it
Tx:17.10  made perception possible will occur. The perception of the real  world will be so short that you will barely have time to thank God
Tx:17.10  God will take the last step swiftly when you have reached the real  world and have been made ready for Him.
Tx:17.11 The real  world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the
Tx:17.11  world is attained simply by the complete forgiveness of the old, the  world you see without forgiveness. The Great Transformer of

Tx:17.12 All this beauty will rise to bless your sight as you look upon the  world with forgiving eyes. For forgiveness literally transforms
Tx:17.12  forgiveness literally transforms vision and lets you see the real  world reaching quietly and gently across chaos and removing all
Tx:17.12  and a blade of grass a sign of God's perfection. From the forgiven  world, the Son of God is lifted easily into his home. And there he
Tx:17.13 How much do you want salvation? It will give you the real  world, trembling with readiness to be given you. The eagerness of the
Tx:17.13  to meet with your Redeemer and walk with him in trust out of this  world and into the real world of beauty and forgiveness.

Tx:17.25  The spark of beauty or the veil of ugliness, the real world or the  world of guilt and fear, truth or illusion, freedom or slavery—it
Tx:17.28 In this  world it is impossible to create, yet it is possible to make happy.
Tx:17.29 You have made very real relationships even in this  world which you do not recognize simply because you have raised their
Tx:17.43  relationship is the expression of the holy instant in living in this  world. Like everything about salvation, the holy instant is a
Tx:17.44 The holy relationship, a major step toward the perception of the real  world, is learned. It is the old unholy relationship transformed and
Tx:18.4  to time, and life to death, was all you ever made. Your whole  world rests upon it. Everything you see reflects it, and every
Tx:18.5  error. It was so vast and so completely incredible that from it a  world of total unreality had to emerge. What else could come of it?
Tx:18.6 That was the first projection of error outward. The  world arose to hide it and became the screen on which it was
Tx:18.6  only increase is conceivable. Do you really think it strange that a  world in which everything is backwards and upside-down arose from
Tx:18.6  in quiet and take no part in all the mad projection by which this  world was made. Call it not sin but madness, for such it was, and so
Tx:18.7 The truth will save you. It has not left you to go out into the mad  world and so depart from you. Inward is sanity; insanity is outside
Tx:18.9  He has set the course inward to the truth you share. In the mad  world outside you, nothing can be shared but only substituted, and
Tx:18.12  who heard? Return with me to Heaven, walking together out of this  world and through another to the loveliness and joy the other holds
Tx:18.13 You have been called together to the most holy function that this  world contains. It is the only one which has no limits and reaches
Tx:18.14 Does not a  world that seems quite real arise in dreams? Yet think what this

Tx:18.14  world you saw before you slept. Rather, it is a distortion of the  world, planned solely around what you would have preferred. Here, you
Tx:18.15  in them becomes apparent. Yet they are a way of looking at the  world and changing it to suit the ego better. They provide striking
Tx:18.16  on substitution is laid upon you. For a time, it seems as if the  world were given you, to make it what you will. You do not realize
Tx:18.17  For the dream of your ability to control reality by substituting a  world which you prefer is terrifying. Your attempts to blot out
Tx:18.18 Dreams show you that you have the power to make a  world as you would have it be, and that because you want it, you see
Tx:18.18  while you see it, you do not doubt that it is real. Yet here is a  world, clearly within your mind, that seems to be outside. You do not
Tx:18.19 Your wish to make another  world that is not real remains with you. And what you seem to wake to
Tx:18.19  you. And what you seem to wake to is but another form of this same  world you see in dreams. All your time is spent in dreaming. Your
Tx:18.22  hold to close your eyes. It is not strange that dreams can make a  world that is unreal. The wish to make it is incredible. Your
Tx:18.23  In your relationship, the Holy Spirit has gently laid the real  world—the world of happy dreams from which awaking is so easy and
Tx:18.23  relationship, the Holy Spirit has gently laid the real world—the  world of happy dreams from which awaking is so easy and so natural.
Tx:18.23  waking dreams represent the same wishes in your mind, so do the real  world and the truth of Heaven join in the Will of God. The dream of
Tx:18.75 Such is the strange position in which those in a  world inhabited by bodies seem to be. Each body seems to house a
Tx:18.86  little and limited and so fragmented they are meaningless. From the  world of bodies, made by insanity, insane messages seem to be
Tx:18.86  to the mind which made it. And these messages bear witness to this  world, pronouncing it as true. For you sent forth these messengers to
Tx:18.88  the body sees and seems to be the whole foundation on which the  world is based. Here are all the illusions, all the twisted thoughts,
Tx:18.88  and betrayal that were made to keep the guilt in place, so that the  world could rise from it and keep it hidden. Its shadow rises to the
Tx:18.91 Yet in this cloud bank, it is easy to see a whole  world rising. A solid mountain range, a lake, a city, all rise in
Tx:18.91  how much imagination you bring to it, you do not confuse it with the  world below, nor seek to make it real.
Tx:18.92  nature as He leads you past them, for beneath them is a  world of light whereon they cast no shadows. Their shadows lie upon
Tx:18.92  of light whereon they cast no shadows. Their shadows lie upon the  world beyond them, still further from the light. Yet from them to the
Tx:18.93 This  world of light, this circle of brightness, is the real world where
Tx:18.93 This world of light, this circle of brightness, is the real  world where guilt meets with forgiveness. Here the world outside is
Tx:18.93  is the real world where guilt meets with forgiveness. Here the  world outside is seen anew, without the shadow of guilt upon it. Here
Tx:18.95  beyond words. We need remember only that whoever attains the real  world, beyond which learning cannot go, will go beyond it but in a
Tx:18.97 Your relationship has been uprooted from the  world of shadows, and its unholy purpose has been safely brought
Tx:18.97  washed with forgiveness, and set shining and firmly rooted in the  world of light. From there, it calls to you to follow the course it
Tx:18.98  Forgiveness removes only the untrue, lifting the shadows from the  world and carrying it safe and sure within its gentleness to the
Tx:18.98  and carrying it safe and sure within its gentleness to the bright  world of new and clean perception. There is your purpose now. And it
Tx:19.12  to you. Faith is as easily exchanged for knowledge as is the real  world. For faith arises from the Holy Spirit's perception and is the
Tx:19.22 It can indeed be said the ego made its  world on sin. Only in such a world could everything be upside-down.
Tx:19.22 It can indeed be said the ego made its world on sin. Only in such a  world could everything be upside-down. This is the strange illusion
Tx:19.22  changed creation from an idea of God to an ideal the ego wants; a  world it rules, made up of bodies, mindless and capable of complete
Tx:19.32  For the belief that bodies limit mind leads to a perception of the  world in which the proof of separation seems to be everywhere. And
Tx:19.37  from elsewhere—from your brothers and from various aspects of the  world outside. Yet peace will gently cover them, extending past
Tx:19.43  of peace! For peace will send its messengers from you to all the  world. And barriers will fall away before their coming as easily as
Tx:19.44 To overcome the  world is no more difficult than to surmount your little wall. For in
Tx:19.46  in and push Him out must produce conflict. As you look upon the  world, this little wish, uprooted and floating aimlessly, can land
Tx:19.47  the belief in sin, is all that remains of what once seemed to be the  world. It is no longer an unrelenting barrier to peace. Its pointless
Tx:19.51  is meaningless to fear and quite invisible. Relationships in this  world are the result of how the world is seen. And this depends on
Tx:19.51  invisible. Relationships in this world are the result of how the  world is seen. And this depends on which emotion was called on to
Tx:19.52 Send not these savage messengers into the  world to feast upon it and to prey upon reality. For they will bring
Tx:19.53  you salvation. Theirs are the messages of safety, for they see the  world as kind.
Tx:19.54  you, wanting no messages but theirs, you will see fear no more. The  world will be transformed before your sight, cleansed of all guilt
Tx:19.54  sight, cleansed of all guilt and softly brushed with beauty. The  world contains no fear which you laid not upon it. And none you
Tx:19.64  gates are opened from within to let peace through to bless the tired  world! Can it be difficult for us to walk past barriers together when
Tx:19.65  are guilty, so must I be. But if I surmounted guilt and overcame the  world, you were with me. Would you see in me the symbol of guilt or
Tx:19.66  gratitude for giving peace its home in Heaven. Send forth to all the  world the joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the world will
Tx:19.66  to all the world the joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the  world will answer. Think of your happiness as everyone offers you
Tx:19.67  be the focus of the new perception that will bring light to all the  world, contained in you.
Tx:19.85 Under the dusty edge of its distorted  world, the ego would lay the Son of God, slain by its orders, proof
Tx:19.90  and the Son of God entirely restored to sanity. For here your  world does end.
Tx:19.96 It seems to you the  world will utterly abandon you if you but raise your eyes. Yet all
Tx:19.96  but raise your eyes. Yet all that will occur is you will leave the  world forever. This is the reestablishment of your will. Look upon it
Tx:19.110  protection of his Father. Here is the only purpose that gives this  world and the long journey through this world whatever meaning lies
Tx:19.110  only purpose that gives this world and the long journey through this  world whatever meaning lies in them. Beyond this they are
Tx:20.18  question, and it was what they saw that answered them. You make the  world and then adjust to it, and it to you. Nor is there any
Tx:20.19  yet remains and needs an answer. Do you like what you have made—a  world of murder and attack through which you thread your timid way
Tx:20.19  but the fearful thoughts of those who would adjust themselves to a  world made fearful by their adjustments. And they look out in sorrow
Tx:20.20 Have you not wondered what the  world is really like; how it would look through happy eyes? The world
Tx:20.20  the world is really like; how it would look through happy eyes? The  world you see is but a judgment on yourself. It is not there at all.
Tx:20.20  lays a sentence on it, justifies it, and makes it real. Such is the  world you see—a judgment on yourself and made by you. This sickly
Tx:20.20  whose image it is and which it loves, and placed outside you in the  world. And to this world must you adjust, as long as you believe this
Tx:20.20  and which it loves, and placed outside you in the world. And to this  world must you adjust, as long as you believe this picture is outside
Tx:20.20  you believe this picture is outside and has you at its mercy. This  world is merciless, and were it outside you, you should indeed be
Tx:20.21 Who in a holy relationship can long remain unholy? The  world the holy see is one with them, just as the world the ego looks
Tx:20.21  remain unholy? The world the holy see is one with them, just as the  world the ego looks upon is like itself. The world the holy see is
Tx:20.21  with them, just as the world the ego looks upon is like itself. The  world the holy see is beautiful because they see their innocence in
Tx:20.21  watches over all perception answered. Take not the judgment of the  world as answer to the question, “What am I?”
Tx:20.22 The  world believes in sin, but the belief that made it as you see it is
Tx:20.24  you believe the answer and adjust to it as if it were the truth? The  world you look on is the answer that it gave you, and you have given
Tx:20.24  answer that it gave you, and you have given it power to adjust the  world to make its answer true. You asked this puff of madness for the
Tx:20.28  give it the power to do so. For you give power as the laws of this  world interpret giving—as you give, you lose. It is not up to you
Tx:20.28  power to sin, and therefore it has none; nor to its results as this  world sees them—sickness and death and misery and pain. These
Tx:20.32  function here is to release him and so to free himself. In the  world of separation, each is appointed separately, though they are
Tx:20.33  The ark of peace is entered two by two, yet the beginning of another  world goes with them. Each holy relationship must enter here to learn
Tx:20.33  that it shares His purpose. And as this purpose is fulfilled, a new  world rises in which sin can enter not, and where the Son of God can
Tx:20.34  of each other serves but you two alone. For the whole new  world rests in the hands of every two who enter here to rest. And as
Tx:20.37 In this  world, God's Son comes closest to himself in a holy relationship.
Tx:20.73  within the kindly sway of Heaven's laws. What if you recognized this  world is an hallucination? What if you really understood you made it
Tx:20.74  them, but always, do you want the purpose which they serve? This  world seems to hold out many purposes, each different and with
Tx:20.75  to meet the goal of madness. They are the means by which the outside  world, projected from within, adjusts to sin and seems to witness to
Tx:20.76  to find itself and then looks out. All meaning that you give the  world outside must thus reflect the sight you saw within; or better,
Tx:21.1 Projection makes perception. The  world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But though
Tx:21.1  man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the  world, but will to change your mind about the world. Perception is a
Tx:21.1  seek not to change the world, but will to change your mind about the  world. Perception is a result, not a cause. And that is why order of
Tx:21.2  is your judgment on yourself, and this you will project upon the  world. See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the
Tx:21.2  you made and learn from this to recognize which one you chose. [The  world you see but shows you how much joy you have allowed yourself to
Tx:21.3 Never forget the  world the sightless “see” must be imagined, for what it really looks
Tx:21.4  what could be seen instead. It is not necessary to imagine what the  world must look like. It must be seen before you recognize it for
Tx:21.6 The blind become accustomed to their  world by their adjustments to it. They think they know their way
Tx:21.6  keep them blind. This they do not believe. And so they keep the  world they learned to “see” in their imagination, believing that
Tx:21.6  believing that their choice is that or nothing. They hate the  world they learned through pain. And everything they think is in it
Tx:21.9  You could remember, yet you are afraid, believing you would lose the  world you learned since then. And yet you know that nothing in the
Tx:21.9  world you learned since then. And yet you know that nothing in the  world you learned is half so dear as this. Listen and see if you
Tx:21.18  not, then, this little offering. Withhold it, and you keep the  world as now you see it. Give it away, and everything you see goes
Tx:21.18  holy instant is this exchange effected and maintained. Here is the  world you do not want brought to the one you do. And here the one you
Tx:21.18  its weakness. You must perceive that what is strong enough to make a  world can let it go and can accept correction if it is willing to see
Tx:21.19 The  world you see is but the idle witness that you were right. This
Tx:21.24  goal of madness. The goal of sin induces the perception of a fearful  world to justify its purpose. What you desire you will see. And if
Tx:21.26 It is as needful that you recognize you made the  world you see as that you recognize that you did not create yourself.
Tx:21.26  Creator and believing that you made yourself. For if you think the  world you made has power to make you what it wills, you are confusing
Tx:21.27  cannot serve to justify the madness. Your brother thinks he made the  world with you. Thus he denies creation. With you, he thinks the
Tx:21.27  the world with you. Thus he denies creation. With you, he thinks the  world he made, made him. Thus he denies he made it.
Tx:21.32  is reached. Through them the Holy Spirit leads you to the real  world and away from all illusions where your faith was laid. This is
Tx:21.36  how much their faith had limited their understanding of the  world, desiring to place its power elsewhere should another point of
Tx:21.37  faith you give each other can accomplish this. For He Who loves the  world is seeing it for you without one spot of sin upon it and in the
Tx:21.47  strength. The song of freedom, which sings the praises of another  world, brings to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now
Tx:21.49 Perception selects and makes the  world you see. It literally picks it out as the mind directs. The
Tx:21.50  own control and far more powerful than you. And you will think the  world you made directs your destiny. For this will be your faith. But
Tx:21.60  other innocent. Who looks upon himself as guilty and sees a sinless  world? And who can see a sinful world and look upon himself apart
Tx:21.60  himself as guilty and sees a sinless world? And who can see a sinful  world and look upon himself apart from it? Sin would maintain you
Tx:21.73  It has no weapons, and it has no enemy. Yes, it can overrun the  world and seek an enemy. But it can never find what is not there.
Tx:21.74  is not there to find. Yet first he must be willing to perceive a  world where it is not. It is not necessary that he understand how he
Tx:21.75 Do I desire a  world I rule instead of one which rules me? Do I desire a world where
Tx:21.75  I desire a world I rule instead of one which rules me? Do I desire a  world where I am powerful instead of helpless? Do I desire a world in
Tx:21.75  a world where I am powerful instead of helpless? Do I desire a  world in which I have no enemies and cannot sin? And do I want to see
Tx:21.80  but not to why. You have control of this. And if you choose to see a  world without an enemy in which you are not helpless, the means to

Tx:25.12  Perhaps you fancy to attain some peace and satisfaction in the  world as you perceive it. Yet it must be evident the outcome does not
Tx:25.13  that you should cherish still some hope of satisfaction from the  world you see? In no respect at any time or place has anything but

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

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

Tx:25.30 The Maker of the world of gentleness has perfect power to offset the  world of violence and hate that seems to stand between you and His

Tx:25.48  to save instead of lose. Salvation is no more than a reminder this  world is not your home; its laws are not imposed on you; its values

Tx:25.52  it more carefully. It must be so that either God is mad or is this  world a place of madness. Not one Thought of His makes any sense at
Tx:25.52  madness. Not one Thought of His makes any sense at all within this  world. And nothing that the world believes as true has any meaning in
Tx:25.52  His makes any sense at all within this world. And nothing that the  world believes as true has any meaning in His Mind at all. What makes

Tx:25.53  not that this belief depends upon the form it takes. Who thinks the  world is sane in any way, is justified in anything it thinks, or is
Tx:25.53  Sin is not real because the Father and the Son are not insane. This  world is meaningless because it rests on sin. Who could create the
Tx:25.54 The Holy Spirit has the power to change the whole foundation of the  world you see to something else—a basis not insane on which a sane
Tx:25.54  a basis not insane on which a sane perception can be based, another  world perceived. And one in which nothing is contradicted that would

Tx:25.57  choice of form most suitable to him; one which will not attack the  world he sees, but enter into it in quietness and show him he is mad.
Tx:25.57  way of looking at what he has seen before and recognizes as the  world in which he lives and thought he understood before.

Tx:25.65 There is a kind of justice in salvation of which the  world knows nothing. To the world, justice and vengeance are the
Tx:25.65  of justice in salvation of which the world knows nothing. To the  world, justice and vengeance are the same, for sinners see justice
Tx:25.68  over them when they are told that they have never sinned. Their  world depends on sin's stability. And they perceive the “threat” of
Tx:25.68  knows as justice to be more destructive to themselves and to their  world than vengeance, which they understand and love.
Tx:25.75  that this is true. Nor need you look to your experience within the  world, which is but shadows of all that is really happening within
Tx:25.77  prevail for you. And you are safe from vengeance in all forms. The  world deceives, but it cannot replace God's justice with a version of
Tx:25.78  For if you answer “yes,” it means you will forgo all values of this  world in favor of the peace of Heaven. Not one sin would you retain.
Tx:25.81  a loss could justify attack, and loss of any kind He cannot see. The  world solves problems in another way. It sees a resolution as a state
Tx:26.1  wish to see a little part of him and sacrifice the rest. Look at the  world, and you will see nothing attached to anything beyond itself.
Tx:26.2 The  world you see is based on “sacrifice” of oneness. It is a picture of
Tx:26.4  anyone. What witness to the wholeness of God's Son is seen within a  world of separate bodies, however much he witnesses to truth? He is
Tx:26.4  however much he witnesses to truth? He is invisible in such a  world. Nor can his song of union and of love be heard at all. Yet is

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

Tx:27.81 How willing are you to escape effects of all the dreams the  world has ever had? Is it your wish to let no dream appear to be the
Tx:27.81  whose cause lies in the first. No one asleep and dreaming in the  world remembers his attack upon himself. No one believes there really
Tx:27.81  when he knew nothing of a body and could never have conceived this  world as real. He would have seen at once that these ideas are one
Tx:27.83  whose ending starts at its beginning, ending at its cause. The  world you see depicts exactly what you thought you did. Except that
Tx:27.83  what you thought is being placed outside yourself and on a guilty  world which dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts instead of
Tx:27.84 The  world but demonstrates an ancient truth—you will believe that
Tx:27.89  but not to listen, not to see. How differently will you perceive the  world when this is recognized! When you forgive the world your guilt,
Tx:27.89  you perceive the world when this is recognized! When you forgive the  world your guilt, you will be free of it. Its innocence does not
Tx:27.90  yourself. And it is this that has maintained you separate from the  world and kept your brother separate from you. Now need you but to

Tx:28.18  is given no effects and none are seen. A mind within a body and a  world of other bodies, each with separate minds, are your
Tx:28.20  only that you see you made the one you would exchange for this. This  world is causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed within
Tx:28.20  is causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed within the  world. No plans are possible and no design exists that could be found
Tx:28.25  has no effects. Now are you freed from this much of the dream; the  world is neutral, and the bodies which still seem to move about as
Tx:28.27 This  world is full of miracles. They stand in shining silence next to
Tx:28.27  have been retraced, the ladder gone, and all the dreaming of the  world undone.
Tx:28.31 The end of dreaming is the end of fear, and love was never in the  world of dreams. The gap is little. Yet it holds the seeds of
Tx:28.34  as all the treasures you would keep within the storehouse of the  world. The door is open, not to thieves but to your starving brothers
Tx:28.34  silver. They have nothing left behind the open door. What is the  world except a little gap perceived to tear eternity apart and break
Tx:28.34  into days and months and years? And what are you who live within the  world except a picture of the Son of God in broken pieces, each
Tx:28.35 Be not afraid, but let your  world be lit by miracles. And where the gap was seen to stand between
Tx:28.36 This is a feast unlike indeed to those the dreaming of the  world has shown. For here, the more that anyone receives, the more is
Tx:28.50  where your Self is safely hidden by what you have made. Here is a  world established that is sick, and this the world the body's eyes
Tx:28.50  have made. Here is a world established that is sick, and this the  world the body's eyes perceive. Here are the sounds it hears—the
Tx:28.51  your ears bear witness to illusion. They were made to look upon a  world that is not there, to hear the voices that can make no sound.
Tx:28.51  senseless scrap and shred of evidence, and make a witness to the  world you want. Let not the body's ears and eyes perceive these

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

Tx:31.66  the concept of the self has changed. Are you invulnerable? Then the  world is harmless in your sight. Do you forgive? Then is the world
Tx:31.66  the world is harmless in your sight. Do you forgive? Then is the  world forgiving, for you have forgiven it its trespasses and so it

Tx:31.67  the promise of corruption and the stain of sin upon you? So the  world is seen as stable, fully worthy of your trust; a happy place to
Tx:31.70  And this will be your concept of yourself, when you have reached the  world beyond the sight your eyes alone can offer you to see. For you
Tx:31.70  the Aid that God has given you. And in His sight there is another  world.
Tx:31.71 You live in that  world just as much as this. For both are concepts of yourself which
Tx:31.73  you not rather look upon yourself as needed for salvation of the  world instead of as salvation's enemy?
Tx:31.82 Let not the world's light, given unto you, be hidden from the  world. It needs the light, for it is dark indeed, and men despair

Tx:31.88  of their own weakness, seen apart from Him. They will redeem the  world, for they are joined in all the power of the Will of God. And
Tx:31.93  of God and power to bring this peace to everyone who wanders in the  world uncertain, lonely, and in constant fear. For it is given you to
Tx:31.93  nothing but your own release. There is no place for hell within a  world whose loveliness can yet be so intense and so inclusive it is
Tx:31.93  there to Heaven. To your tired eyes I bring a vision of a different  world, so new and clean and fresh you will forget the pain and sorrow
Tx:31.94 Let us be glad that we can walk the  world and find so many chances to perceive another situation where

W1:12.5  For example, you might think of a “good world,” or a “satisfying  world.” If such terms occur to you, use them along with the rest. You
W1:12.7 But I am upset because I see a meaningless  world.
W1:12.8  meaningless is neither good nor bad. Why, then, should a meaningless  world upset you? If you could accept the world as meaningless and let
W1:12.8  then, should a meaningless world upset you? If you could accept the  world as meaningless and let the truth be written upon it for you, it
W1:13.1  is more specific as to the emotion aroused. Actually, a meaningless  world is impossible. Nothing without meaning exists. However, it does
W1:13.3  fear. If you are fearful, it is certain that you will endow the  world with attributes which it does not possess and crowd it with
W1:13.5 I am looking at a meaningless  world.
W1:13.7 A meaningless  world engenders fear because I think I am in competition with God.
W1:14.1 The idea for today is, of course, the reason why a meaningless  world is impossible. What God did not create does not exist. And
W1:14.1  exist. And everything that does exist exists as He created it. The  world you see has nothing to do with reality. It is of your own
W1:14.3  in learning to let go the thoughts which you have written on the  world, and see the Word of God in their place. The early steps in
W1:14.4 With eyes closed, think of all the horrors in the  world that cross your mind. Name each one as it occurs to you, and
W1:14.7  of horrors at which you are looking. These things are part of the  world you see. Some of them are shared illusions, and others are part
W1:14.8 God did not create a meaningless  world.
W1:14.10 God did not create a meaningless  world. He did not create [specify the situation which is disturbing
W1:16.2  of “idle thoughts.” What gives rise to the perception of a whole  world can hardly be called idle. Every thought you have contributes
W1:17.1  that it is really the other way around. This is not the way the  world thinks, but you must learn that it is the way you think. If it
W1:20.1  importance of the reversal of your thinking. The salvation of the  world depends on it. Yet you will not see if you regard yourself as
W1:20.3  a sign that our goal is of little worth. Can the salvation of the  world be a trivial purpose? And can the world be saved if you are
W1:20.3  Can the salvation of the world be a trivial purpose? And can the  world be saved if you are not? God has one Son, and he is the
W1:20.5  see. Such is the real law of cause and effect as it operates in the  world.
W1:22.1  the way anyone who holds attack thoughts in his mind must see the  world. Having projected his anger onto the world, he sees vengeance
W1:22.1  in his mind must see the world. Having projected his anger onto the  world, he sees vengeance about to strike at him. His own attack is
W1:22.1  attack and counter-attack will preoccupy him and people his entire  world. What peace of mind is possible to him then?
W1:22.3 Look at the  world about you at least five times today, for at least a minute each
W1:22.6 Is this the  world I really want to see?
W1:23.1  way cannot fail. Every thought you have makes up some segment of the  world you see. It is with your thoughts, then, that we must work if
W1:23.1  your thoughts, then, that we must work if your perception of the  world is to be changed.
W1:23.2 If the cause of the  world you see is attack thoughts, you must learn that it is these
W1:23.2  thoughts which you do not want. There is no point in lamenting the  world. There is no point in trying to change the world. It is
W1:23.2  in lamenting the world. There is no point in trying to change the  world. It is incapable of change because it is merely an effect. But
W1:23.2  But there is indeed a point in changing your thoughts about the  world. Here you are changing the cause. The effects will change
W1:23.3 The  world you see is a vengeful world, and everything in it is a symbol
W1:23.3 The world you see is a vengeful  world, and everything in it is a symbol of vengeance. Each of your
W1:23.4 You see the  world which you have made, but you do not see yourself as the
W1:23.4  do not see yourself as the image-maker. You cannot be saved from the  world, but you can escape from its cause. This is what salvation
W1:23.4  from its cause. This is what salvation means, for where is the  world you see when its cause is gone? Vision already holds a
W1:23.5  for today introduces the thought that you are not trapped in the  world you see, because its cause can be changed. This change
W1:23.7 I can escape from the  world by giving up attack thoughts about _____.
W1:23.9  periods. We are still at the stage of identifying the cause of the  world you see. When you finally realize that thoughts of attack and
W1:25.2 You perceive the  world and everything in it as meaningful in terms of ego goals. These
W1:25.2  this, you will try to withdraw the goals you have assigned to the  world instead of attempting to reinforce them.
W1:29.3  range. When vision has shown you the holiness that lights up the  world, you will understand today's idea perfectly. And you will not
W1:30.1  for today is the springboard for vision. From this idea will the  world open up before you, and you will look upon it and see in it
W1:30.2  not like by seeing it outside. Instead, we are trying to see in the  world what is in our minds, and what we want to recognize is there.
W1:31.1  of release. Again, the idea should be applied to both the  world you see without and the world you see within. In applying the
W1:31.1  the idea should be applied to both the world you see without and the  world you see within. In applying the idea, we will use a form of
W1:31.2  times. Then close your eyes and apply the same idea to your inner  world. You will escape from both together, for the inner is the cause
W1:31.3 As you survey your inner  world, merely let whatever thoughts cross your mind come into your
W1:31.4  of your own freedom. And in your freedom lies the freedom of the  world.
W1:32.1  develop the theme of cause and effect. You are not the victim of the  world you see because you invented it. You can give it up as easily
W1:32.2  periods for today will again include two phases, one involving the  world you see outside you and the other the world you see in your
W1:32.2  one involving the world you see outside you and the other the  world you see in your mind. In today's exercises, try to introduce
W1:32.3  the idea for today two or three times while looking around at the  world you see as outside yourself. Then close your eyes and look
W1:32.3  as outside yourself. Then close your eyes and look around your inner  world. Try to treat them both as equally as possible. Repeat the idea
W1:32.5  repeating the idea slowly as you survey either your inner or outer  world. It does not matter which you choose.
W1:33.1  is an attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of the  world in both its outer and inner aspects. A full five minutes should
W1:33.2  an abrupt sense of shifting. Merely glance casually around the  world you perceive as outside yourself, then close your eyes and
W1:34.1  It is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the  world arises.
W1:34.2  applications should be done with your eyes closed. It is your inner  world to which the applications of today's idea should be made.
W1:35.1  will show you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this  world to believe this of himself. Yet the reason he thinks he is in
W1:35.1  to believe this of himself. Yet the reason he thinks he is in this  world is because he does not believe it.
W1:37.1 This idea contains the first glimmerings of your true function in the  world or why you are here. Your purpose is to see the world through
W1:37.1  in the world or why you are here. Your purpose is to see the  world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the world blessed
W1:37.1  is to see the world through your own holiness. Thus are you and the  world blessed together. No one loses; nothing is taken away from
W1:37.3 Your holiness is the salvation of the  world. It lets you teach the world that it is one with you, not by
W1:37.3 Your holiness is the salvation of the world. It lets you teach the  world that it is one with you, not by preaching to it, not by telling
W1:37.8  may open your eyes again and apply the idea for today to your outer  world if you so desire; you may alternate between applying the idea
W1:38.1 Your holiness reverses all the laws of the  world. It is beyond every restriction of time, space, distance, and
W1:39.3 We have already said that your holiness is the salvation of the  world. What about your own salvation? You cannot give what you do not
W1:39.3  recognizing that your salvation is crucial to the salvation of the  world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, the whole world
W1:39.3  the salvation of the world. As you apply the exercises to your own  world, the whole world stands to benefit.
W1:39.3  the world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, the whole  world stands to benefit.
W1:39.4  and therefore the end of hell. Your holiness is the salvation of the  world and your own. How could you to whom your holiness belongs be
W1:41.1  invented many “cures” for what they believe to be the “ills of the  world.” But the one thing they do not do is to question the reality
W1:41.2  that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the whole  world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it
W1:41.5  to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts of the  world. Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear
W1:41.6  helpful. But most of all, try to sink down and inward, away from the  world and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to
W1:41.6  and inward, away from the world and all the foolish thoughts of the  world. You are trying to reach past all these things. You are trying
W1:41.7  In fact it is very easy because it is the most natural thing in the  world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the world.
W1:41.7  in the world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the  world. The way will open if you believe that it is possible. This
W1:43.9  I see through the eyes of forgiveness. I see the  world as blessed. The world can show me myself. I see my own
W1:43.9  see through the eyes of forgiveness. I see the world as blessed. The  world can show me myself. I see my own thoughts, which are like God's.
W1:44.4  exercise we will use today is the most natural and easy one in the  world for the trained mind, just as it seems to be the most unnatural
W1:44.10  formless and without limit, as you pass by the thoughts of this  world. And do not forget that they cannot hold you to the world
W1:44.10  of this world. And do not forget that they cannot hold you to the  world unless you give them the power to do so.
W1:45.4  attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We will deny the  world in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts of the world
W1:45.4  the world in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts of the  world hold us back, and we will not let the beliefs of the world tell
W1:45.4  of the world hold us back, and we will not let the beliefs of the  world tell us that what God would have us do is impossible.
W1:46.1  forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of this  world, but that is because it is a world of illusions. Those who
W1:46.1  is the great need of this world, but that is because it is a  world of illusions. Those who forgive are thus releasing themselves
W1:49.1  it or not. It is the other part of your mind that functions in the  world and obeys the world's laws. It is this part which is constantly
W1:49.4  the frantic, riotous thoughts and sounds and sights of this insane  world. You do not live there. We are trying to reach your real home.
W1:49.5  the idea for today slowly whenever you can, closing your eyes on the  world and realizing that you are inviting God's Voice to speak to you.
W1:50.1  that confronts you today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this  world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your
W1:50.2  trial and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of this  world into a climate of perfect peace and safety. It will transport
W1:52.3 [7] I see only the past. As I look about, I condemn the  world I look upon. I call this seeing. I hold the past against
W1:53.2 [11] My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless  world. Since the thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything,
W1:53.2  Since the thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything, the  world which pictures them can have no meaning. What is producing this
W1:53.2  which pictures them can have no meaning. What is producing this  world is insane, and so is what it produces. Reality is not insane,
W1:53.2  real thoughts as well as insane ones. I can therefore see a real  world if I look to my real thoughts as my guide for seeing.
W1:53.3 [12] I am upset because I see a meaningless  world. Insane thoughts are upsetting. They produce a world in which
W1:53.3  a meaningless world. Insane thoughts are upsetting. They produce a  world in which there is no order anywhere. Only chaos rules a world
W1:53.3  a world in which there is no order anywhere. Only chaos rules a  world which represents chaotic thinking, and chaos has no laws. I
W1:53.3  thinking, and chaos has no laws. I cannot live in peace in such a  world. I am grateful that this world is not real and that I need not
W1:53.3  I cannot live in peace in such a world. I am grateful that this  world is not real and that I need not see it at all unless I choose
W1:53.4 [13] A meaningless  world engenders fear. The totally insane engenders fear because it is
W1:53.4  is dependable. It holds out no safety and no hope. But such a  world is not real. I have given it the illusion of reality, and have
W1:53.4  in reality. In choosing this, I will escape all the effects of the  world of fear because I am acknowledging that it does not exist.
W1:53.5 [14] God did not create a meaningless  world. How can a meaningless world exist if God did not create it? He
W1:53.5 [14] God did not create a meaningless world. How can a meaningless  world exist if God did not create it? He is the Source of all
W1:53.6  which tell me where I am and what I am. The fact that I see a  world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I
W1:54.2  because all thoughts have power. They will either make a false  world or lead me to the real one. But thoughts cannot be without
W1:54.2  me to the real one. But thoughts cannot be without effects. As the  world I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world
W1:54.2  As the world I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real  world rise before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My
W1:54.3  I would not exist, because life is thought. Let me look on the  world I see as the representation of my own state of mind. I know
W1:54.3  I know that my state of mind can change. And so I also know the  world I see can change as well.
W1:54.4  of my seeing. If I have no private thoughts, I cannot see a private  world. Even the mad idea of separation had to be shared before it
W1:54.4  of separation had to be shared before it could form the basis of the  world I see. Yet that sharing was a sharing of nothing. I can also
W1:54.4  so my real thoughts awaken the real thoughts in them. And the  world my real thoughts show me will dawn on their sight as well as
W1:54.6  I would look upon the witnesses that show me the thinking of the  world has been changed. I would behold the proof that what has been
W1:54.6  weeping, and abundance to replace loss. I would look upon the real  world, and let it teach me that my will and the Will of God are one.
W1:55.3 [22] What I see is a form of vengeance. The  world I see is hardly the representation of loving thoughts. It is a
W1:55.3  picture. My loving thoughts will save me from this perception of the  world and give me the peace God intended me to have.
W1:55.4 [23] I can escape from the  world by giving up attack thoughts. Herein lies my salvation, and
W1:55.4  and nowhere else. Without attack thoughts I could not see a  world of attack. As forgiveness allows love to return to my
W1:55.4  As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I will see a  world of peace and safety and joy. It is this I choose to see in
W1:55.5  I think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the  world of illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide God has given me
W1:55.6  to use everyone and everything. It is this that I believe the  world is for. Therefore I do not recognize its real purpose. The
W1:55.6  I do not recognize its real purpose. The purpose I have given the  world has led to a frightening picture of it. Let me open my mind to
W1:56.2  me. All my hopes and wishes and plans appear to be at the mercy of a  world I cannot control. Yet perfect security and complete fulfillment
W1:56.2  I have tried to give my inheritance away in exchange for the  world I see. But God has kept my inheritance safe for me. My own real
W1:56.3  what I think I am, I realize that vision is my greatest need. The  world I see attests to the fearful nature of the self-image I have
W1:56.3  will surely be given me. And with this vision, I will look upon the  world and upon myself with charity and love.
W1:56.4 [28] Above all else I want to see differently. The  world I see holds my fearful self-image in place, and guarantees its
W1:56.4  self-image in place, and guarantees its continuance. While I see the  world as I see it now, truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let
W1:56.4  truth cannot enter my awareness. I would let the door behind this  world be opened for me that I may look past it to the world that
W1:56.4  behind this world be opened for me that I may look past it to the  world that reflects the Love of God.
W1:57.2 [31] I am not the victim of the  world I see. How can I be the victim of a world that can be
W1:57.2  I am not the victim of the world I see. How can I be the victim of a  world that can be completely undone if I so choose? My chains are
W1:57.2  open. I can leave it simply by walking out. Nothing holds me in this  world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a prisoner. I would give up my
W1:57.3 [32] I have invented the  world I see. I made up the prison in which I see myself. All I need
W1:57.4 [33] There is another way of looking at the  world. Since the purpose of the world is not the one I ascribed to
W1:57.4  is another way of looking at the world. Since the purpose of the  world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another way of
W1:57.4  upside down, and my thoughts are the opposite of truth. I see the  world as a prison for God's Son. It must be, then, that the world is
W1:57.4  see the world as a prison for God's Son. It must be, then, that the  world is really a place where he can be set free. I would look upon
W1:57.4  is really a place where he can be set free. I would look upon the  world as it is, and see it as a place where the Son of God finds his
W1:57.5 [34] I could see peace instead of this. When I see the  world as a place of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the laws
W1:57.6  mind is part of God's. I am very holy. As I share the peace of the  world with my brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes
W1:57.6  to understand that this peace comes from deep within myself. The  world I look upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness and shines
W1:58.2  everything I see. From my holiness does the perception of the real  world come. Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. I can
W1:58.2  truth about me. Seen through understanding eyes, the holiness of the  world is all I see, for I can picture only the thoughts I hold about
W1:58.3 [37] My holiness blesses the  world. The perception of my holiness does not bless me alone.
W1:58.3  my holiness. As I recognize my holiness, so does the holiness of the  world shine forth for everyone to see.
W1:58.5  my salvation. It is also recognizing the salvation of the  world. Once I have accepted my holiness, nothing can make me afraid.
W1:58.5  share in my understanding, which is the gift of God to me and to the  world.
W1:59.5  God is the Light in which I see. Let me welcome vision and the happy  world it will show me.
W1:60.4 [48] There is nothing to fear. How safe the  world will look to me when I can see it! It will not look anything
W1:60.4  in everyone my dearest Friend. What could there be to fear in a  world which I have forgiven and which has forgiven me?
W1:60.6  am sustained by His Love. As I open my eyes, His love lights up the  world for me to see. As I forgive, His love reminds me that His Son
W1:60.6  His love reminds me that His Son is sinless. And as I look upon the  world with the vision He has given me, I remember that I am His Son.
W1:61.1 Who is the light of the  world except God's Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the
W1:61.2  It is not humility to insist that you cannot be the light of the  world if that is the function God assigned to you. It is only
W1:61.6 I am the light of the  world. That is my only function. That is why I am here.
W1:61.10 You are the light of the  world. God has built His plan for the salvation of His Son on you.
W1:62.1 It is your forgiveness that will bring the  world of darkness to the light. It is your forgiveness that lets you
W1:62.1  see. Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the light of the  world. Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself return
W1:62.2 Illusions about yourself and the  world are one. That is why all forgiveness is a gift to yourself.
W1:62.6 Forgiveness is my function as the light of the  world. I would fulfill my function that I may be happy.
W1:63.2 You are indeed the light of the  world with such a function. The Son of God looks to you for his
W1:63.4 The light of the  world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. I am the
W1:63.4  I am the means God has appointed for the salvation of the  world.
W1:64.1  of saying, “Let me not wander into temptation.” The purpose of the  world you see is to obscure your function of forgiveness and provide
W1:64.2  therefore He sees another purpose in them. To the Holy Spirit, the  world is a place where you learn to forgive yourself what you think
W1:64.3  our last few lessons, your function here is to be the light of the  world, a function given you by God. It is only the arrogance of the
W1:64.9  remember the crucial importance of your function to you and to the  world.
W1:64.12 This is the  world it is my function to save.
W1:65.1  in which you can take your rightful place among the saviors of the  world. This is the only way in which you can say and mean, “My only
W1:67.1  statement of what you are. This is why you are the light of the  world. This is why God appointed you as the world's savior. This is
W1:68.9  as completely at peace with everyone and everything, safe in a  world which protects you and loves you and which you love in return.
W1:69.1  conceal. Because your grievances are hiding the light of the  world in you, everyone stands in darkness, and you beside him. But as
W1:69.1  you when you were in hell. He is your brother in the light of the  world which saves you both.
W1:69.2  are literally attempting to get in touch with the salvation of the  world. We are trying to see past the veil of darkness that keeps it
W1:69.6  the importance of what you are trying to do for yourself and the  world, try to settle down in perfect stillness, remembering only how
W1:69.9  remind yourself that your grievances are hiding the light of the  world from your awareness. Remind yourself also that you are not
W1:69.10 My grievances hide the light of the  world in me. I cannot see what I have hidden. Yet I want to let it be
W1:69.10  let it be revealed to me for my salvation and the salvation of the  world.
W1:69.12 If I hold this grievance, the light of the  world will be hidden from me,
W1:70.14  charge of your salvation. You are in charge of the salvation of the  world. Say, then:
W1:72.8 This is the universal belief of the  world you see. Some hate the body and try to hurt and humiliate it.
W1:73.1  at all. Its wishes are not idle in the sense that they can make a  world of illusions in which your belief can be very strong. But they
W1:73.2 Idle wishes and grievances are partners or co-makers in picturing the  world you see. The wishes of the ego gave rise to it, and the ego's
W1:73.3  and forth and grievances increase with each exchange. Can such a  world have been created by the will the Son of God shares with his
W1:73.3  His Son? Creation is the will of Both together. Would God create a  world that kills Himself?
W1:73.4 Today we will try once more to reach the  world that is in accordance with your will. The light is in it
W1:73.5 Yet the light which shines upon this  world reflects your will, and so it must be in you that we will look
W1:73.5  so it must be in you that we will look for it. Your picture of the  world can only mirror what is within. The source of neither light nor
W1:73.5  without. Grievances darken your mind, and you look out on a darkened  world. Forgiveness lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets
W1:73.5  lifts the darkness, reasserts your will, and lets you look upon a  world of light.
W1:75.2  of light begins for you and everyone. It is a new era in which a new  world is born. The old one has left no trace upon it in its passing.
W1:75.2  has left no trace upon it in its passing. Today we see a different  world because the light has come.
W1:75.3  No shadows from the past remain to darken our sight and hide the  world forgiveness offers us. Today we will accept the new world as
W1:75.3  hide the world forgiveness offers us. Today we will accept the new  world as what we want to see. We will be given what we desire. We
W1:75.4 Our longer practice periods will be devoted to looking at the  world which our forgiveness shows us. This is what we want to see,
W1:75.4  this. Our single purpose makes our goal inevitable. Today the real  world rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is given
W1:75.5 We do not see the ego's shadow on the  world today. We see the light, and in it we see Heaven's reflection
W1:75.5  see the light, and in it we see Heaven's reflection lie across the  world. Begin the longer practice periods by telling yourself the glad
W1:75.6 The light has come. I have forgiven the  world.
W1:75.7  and clean of every concept you have made. You have forgiven the  world today. You can look upon it now as if you never saw it before.
W1:75.8 The light has come. I have forgiven the  world.
W1:75.9  forgiving. Believe He will not fail you now. You have forgiven the  world. He will be with you as you watch and wait. He will show you
W1:75.9  for Him. He will be there. The light has come. You have forgiven the  world.
W1:75.10  trust in Him. Tell yourself you wait in certainty to look upon the  world He promised you. From this time forth you will see differently.
W1:75.10  will see differently. Today the light has come. And you will see the  world that has been promised you since time began, and in which is
W1:75.12 The light has come. I have forgiven the  world.
W1:75.15  we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of the real  world which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was
W1:75.15  the sight of the real world which has come to replace the unforgiven  world you thought was real.
W1:76.11  this, and realize how foolish are the laws you thought upheld the  world you thought you saw. Then listen further. He will tell you
W1:77.3  they belong to you. You have been promised full release from the  world you made. You have been assured that the Kingdom of God is
W1:77.4  the rights of everyone. Miracles do not obey the laws of this  world. They merely follow from the laws of God.
W1:77.5  your request is granted. You have asked for the salvation of the  world and for your own. You have requested that you be given the
W1:78.4  him; we will not look upon our grievances. So is the seeing of the  world reversed, as we look out toward truth, away from fear.
W1:78.11  the miracle of love the Holy Spirit showed you in their place. The  world and Heaven join in thanking you, for not one thought of God but
W1:78.11  not one thought of God but must rejoice as you are saved and all the  world with you.
W1:79.1  recognize that it has been solved. This is the situation of the  world. The problem of separation, which is really the only problem,
W1:79.2 Everyone in this  world seems to have his own special problems. Yet they are all the
W1:79.4  is the temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved. The  world seems to present you with a vast number of problems, each
W1:79.5 No one could solve all the problems the  world appears to hold. They seem to be on so many levels, in such
W1:81.2 [61] I am the light of the  world. How holy am I, who have been given the function of lighting up
W1:81.2  How holy am I, who have been given the function of lighting up the  world! Let me be still before my holiness. In its calm light, let all
W1:81.4 Let me not obscure the light of the  world in me. Let the light of the world shine through this
W1:81.4 Let me not obscure the light of the world in me. Let the light of the  world shine through this appearance. This shadow will vanish before
W1:81.5 [62] Forgiveness is my function as the light of the  world. It is through accepting my function that I will see the light
W1:82.2 [63] The light of the  world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. My
W1:82.2  forgiveness. My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the  world finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the means by
W1:82.2  forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the  world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the world is
W1:82.2  light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the  world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the
W1:82.2  the world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the  world that it may be healed along with me.
W1:82.4  peace extend from my mind to yours, [name]. I share the light of the  world with you, [name]. Through my forgiveness I can see this as it
W1:85.2 [69] My grievances hide the light of the  world in me. My grievances show me what is not there and hide from me
W1:85.4 Let me not use this as a block to sight. The light of the  world will shine all this away. I have no need for this. I want to
W1:92.7  in love. It sees all others different from itself and nothing in the  world that it would share. It judges and condemns but does not love.
W1:94.1  and entirely undone. You are as God created you. The sounds of this  world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the
W1:94.1  created you. The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this  world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world ever held are
W1:94.1  the sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this  world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is
W1:94.5  This is the Self which never left its home in God to walk the  world uncertainly. This is the Self which knows no fear nor could
W1:95.17  healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the  world and let the light in you come through to teach the world the
W1:95.17  from the world and let the light in you come through to teach the  world the truth about itself. You are One Self, in perfect harmony
W1:95.19  We need your help, your little part in bringing happiness to all the  world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will try today.
W1:95.20  you are One Self, united with your Father, is a call to all the  world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet today be sure to
W1:96.14  real thoughts you have denied, and let your mind go wandering in a  world of dreams, to find illusions in their place. Here are your
W1:97.6  of each hour from your hands and carry them around this aching  world, where pain and misery appear to rule. He will not overlook one
W1:97.8  the words the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them echo round the  world through Him:
W1:97.9  safe and healed and whole, free to forgive, and free to save the  world.
W1:98.6  you your full release from pain of every kind and joy the  world does not contain. You can exchange a little of your time for
W1:98.10  with faith and confidence so strong and steady they will light the  world with hope and gladness. Do not lose one chance to be the glad
W1:98.10  to be the glad receiver of His gifts, that you may give them to the  world today.
W1:99.9  are words in which your freedom lies. Your Father loves you. All the  world of pain is not His Will. Forgive yourself the thought He wanted
W1:100.3  Without your joy, His joy is incomplete. Without your smile, the  world cannot be saved. While you are sad, the light which God Himself
W1:100.3  sad, the light which God Himself appointed as the means to save the  world is dim and lusterless. And no one laughs, because all laughter
W1:100.5  what has been assigned to you by God. Thus do you fail to show the  world how great the happiness He wills for you. And so you do not
W1:100.6  function here. If you are sad, your part is unfulfilled and all the  world is thus deprived of joy along with you. God asks that you be
W1:100.6  deprived of joy along with you. God asks that you be happy so the  world can see how much He loves His Son and wills no sorrow rises to
W1:100.9 Now let us try to find that joy which proves to us and all the  world God's Will for us. It is your function that you find it here
W1:100.11  yourself you are essential to God's plan for the salvation of the  world.
W1:104.6 Then lay aside the conflicts of the  world that offer other gifts and other goals made of illusions,
W1:104.6  made of illusions, witnessed to by them, and sought for only in a  world of dreams. All this we lay aside and seek instead that which is
W1:105.1  increase as we receive them. They are not like to the gifts the  world can give, in which the giver loses as he gives the gift; the
W1:105.3  strange distortion of what giving means pervades all levels of the  world you see. It strips all meaning from the gifts you give and
W1:106.3 Be not afraid today to circumvent the voices of the  world; walk lightly past their meaningless persuasion. Hear them not.
W1:106.7  today, and you will hear a Voice Which will resound throughout the  world through you. The Bringer of all miracles has need that you
W1:106.10  will begin the ministry for which you came and which will free the  world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the world becomes
W1:106.10  free the world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the  world becomes ready to understand and to receive.
W1:106.12  is kept through your receiving it to give away, so you can teach the  world what giving means by listening and learning it of Him. Do not
W1:107.5  all the seeming difficulties and the doubts that the appearances the  world presents engender. They will merely blow away when truth
W1:107.13  you peace so deep and tranquil that you will return to the familiar  world reluctantly.
W1:107.14 And yet you will be glad to look again upon this  world. For you will bring with you the promise of the changes which
W1:107.14  of the changes which the truth that goes with you will carry to the  world. They will increase with every gift you give of five small
W1:107.14  you give of five small minutes, and the errors that surround the  world will be corrected as you let them be corrected in your mind.
W1:107.15  “Truth will correct all errors in my mind,” you speak for all the  world and Him Who would release the world as He would set you free.
W1:107.15  my mind,” you speak for all the world and Him Who would release the  world as He would set you free.
W1:109.2  and everything there is. Here is the end of suffering for all the  world and everyone who ever came and yet will come to linger for a
W1:109.4 This is the day of peace. You rest in God, and while the  world is torn by winds of hate, your rest remains completely
W1:109.7  wings begins to sing, a stream long dry begins to flow again. The  world is born again each time you rest, and hourly remember that you
W1:109.7  and hourly remember that you came to bring the peace of God into the  world that it might take its rest along with you.
W1:109.8 With each five minutes that you rest today the  world is nearer waking. And the time when rest will be the only thing
W1:109.10 Open the temple doors, and let them come from far across the  world, and near as well—your distant brothers and your closest
W1:110.1  to time. For this one thought would be enough to save you and the  world if you believed that it is true. Its truth would mean that you
W1:110.2  accepted as it is. It is enough to let time be the means for all the  world to learn escape from time and every change that time appears to
W1:110.3  no thought but just this one to let redemption come to light the  world and free it from the past.
W1:110.5  miracles, the great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the  world. Practice today's idea with gratitude. This is the truth that
W1:110.8  within you Who is Christ in you, the Son of God and brother to the  world—the savior who has been forever saved, with power to save
W1:115.2  is my only function here. My function here is to forgive the  world for all the errors I have made. For thus am I released from
W1:115.2  errors I have made. For thus am I released from them with all the  world.
W1:115.3  I am essential to the plan of God for the salvation of the  world. For He gave me His plan that I might save the world.
W1:115.3  of the world. For He gave me His plan that I might save the  world.
W1:121.1  the answer to your search for peace. Here is the key to meaning in a  world which seems to make no sense. Here is the way to safety in
W1:121.2  it can spread its wings in peace and soar above the turmoil of the  world. The unforgiving mind is sad, without the hope of respite and
W1:121.4  unforgiving mind sees no mistakes, but only sins. It looks upon the  world with sightless eyes and shrieks as it beholds its own
W1:121.5  offer anything but more despair. Yet it regards its judgment of the  world as irreversible and does not see it has condemned itself to
W1:122.1  of purpose, and a sense of worth and beauty that transcends the  world? Do you want care and safety and the warmth of sure protection
W1:122.3  face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the  world. It lets you recognize the Son of God and clears your memory of
W1:122.6  and plain, beyond deceit in its simplicity. All the complexities the  world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear before the power and the
W1:122.7  again. Accept salvation now. It is the gift of God and not the  world. The world can give no gifts of any value to a mind which has
W1:122.7  Accept salvation now. It is the gift of God and not the world. The  world can give no gifts of any value to a mind which has received
W1:122.8 Open your eyes today, and look upon a happy  world of safety and of peace. Forgiveness is the means by which it
W1:122.12 Before the light you will receive today the  world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another world
W1:122.12  the world will fade until it disappears, and you will see another  world arise you have no words to picture. Now we walk directly into
W1:122.13  your gifts recede throughout the day, as you return again to meet a  world of shifting change and bleak appearances. Retain your gifts in
W1:123.5  the thanks are yours as well. An unheard message will not save the  world, however mighty be the Voice that speaks, however loving may
W1:123.5  who brings His Voice with you and let it echo round and round the  world.
W1:123.6  you, and so they grow in power and in strength until they fill the  world with gladness and with gratitude.
W1:123.7  to you in terms of years for every second, power to save the  world eons more quickly for your thanks to Him.
W1:123.8  thanks for everything He gave His Son that he might rise above the  world remembering his Father and his Self.
W1:124.2  point the way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the  world a little while. And those who come to follow us will recognize
W1:124.7  Today we would experience ourselves at one with Him, so that the  world may share our recognition of reality. In our experience the
W1:124.7  world may share our recognition of reality. In our experience the  world is freed; as we deny our separation from our Father, it is
W1:125.1  Him today. No peace is possible until His Word is heard around the  world; until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message which
W1:125.1  until your mind, in quiet listening, accepts the message which the  world must hear to usher in the quiet time of peace.
W1:125.2 This  world will change through you. No other means can save it, for God's
W1:125.3  cannot be judged. We stand apart from all the judgments which the  world has laid upon the Son of God. It knows him not. Today we will
W1:125.3  the Son of God. It knows him not. Today we will not listen to the  world, but wait in silence for the Word of God.
W1:125.4  His Voice would give to you His holy Word to spread across the  world the tidings of salvation and the holy time of peace. We gather
W1:125.7  for silence, give ten minutes set apart from listening to the  world and choose instead a gentle listening to the Word of God. He
W1:125.9  this to let your practicing today lift you above the thinking of the  world and free your vision from the body's eyes. Only be still and
W1:126.1 Today's idea, completely alien to the ego and the thinking of the  world, is crucial to the thought reversal which this course will
W1:126.8  in the idea we practice for today, this is a day of glory for the  world.
W1:126.10 In silence close your eyes upon the  world which does not understand forgiveness and seek sanctuary in the
W1:127.5 No laws the  world obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the world
W1:127.5 No laws the world obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the  world believes was made to hide love's meaning and to keep it dark
W1:127.5  and to keep it dark and secret. There is not one principle the  world upholds but violates the truth of what love is, and what you
W1:127.5  truth of what love is, and what you are as well. Seek not within the  world to find your Self. Love is not found in darkness and in death.
W1:127.7  every law in which you now believe. Open your mind and rest. The  world that seems to hold you prisoner can be escaped by anyone who
W1:127.10 The  world in infancy is newly born. And we will watch it grow in strength
W1:127.10  to shed its blessing upon all who come to learn to cast aside the  world they thought was made in hate to be love's enemy. Now are they
W1:128.1 The  world you see has nothing that you need to offer you, nothing that
W1:128.1  No one but must accept this thought as true, if he would leave this  world behind and soar beyond its petty scope and little ways.
W1:128.2 Each thing you value here is but a chain that binds you to the  world, and it will serve no other end but this. For everything must
W1:128.2  a different purpose there. The only purpose worthy of your mind this  world contains is that you pass it by, without delaying to perceive
W1:128.2  perceive some hope where there is none. Be you deceived no more. The  world you see has nothing that you want.
W1:128.4  your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation to believe the  world has anything you want to hold you back. Nothing is here to
W1:128.5  we practice letting go all thought of values we have given to the  world. We leave it free of purposes we gave its aspects and its
W1:128.5  Thus do we lift the chains which bar the door to freedom from the  world and go beyond all little values and diminished goals.
W1:128.6 Peace and be still a little while, and see how far you rise above the  world when you release your mind from chains and let it seek the
W1:128.7  much as when you looked at it before. Your whole perspective on the  world will shift by just a little every time you let your mind escape
W1:128.7  by just a little every time you let your mind escape its chains. The  world is not where it belongs. And you belong where it would be and
W1:128.7  it would be and where it goes to rest when you release it from the  world. Your Guide is sure. Open your mind to Him. Be still and rest.
W1:128.8  when you think you see some value in an aspect or an image of the  world, refuse to lay this chain upon your mind and tell yourself with
W1:128.9 This will not tempt me to delay myself. The  world I see has nothing that I want.
W1:129.1  the one we practiced yesterday. You cannot stop with the idea the  world is worthless, for unless you see that there is something else
W1:129.1  you will only be depressed. Our emphasis is not on giving up the  world but on exchanging it for what is far more satisfying, filled
W1:129.1  filled with joy, and capable of offering you peace. Think you this  world can offer that to you?
W1:129.2  be worth a little time to think once more about the value of this  world. Perhaps you will concede there is no loss in letting go all
W1:129.2  there is no loss in letting go all thought of value here. The  world you see is merciless indeed, unstable, cruel, unconcerned with
W1:129.2  for a while. No lasting love is found, for none is here. This is the  world of time, where all things end.
W1:129.3 Is it a loss to find a  world instead where losing is impossible, where love endures forever,
W1:129.5 How far away from this are you who stay bound to this  world. And yet how near are you when you exchange it for the world
W1:129.5  to this world. And yet how near are you when you exchange it for the  world you want. Now is the last step certain; now you stand an
W1:129.5  Here can you but look forward, never back to see again the  world you do not want. Here is the world that comes to take its place
W1:129.5  never back to see again the world you do not want. Here is the  world that comes to take its place as you unbind your mind from
W1:129.5  to take its place as you unbind your mind from little things the  world sets forth to keep you prisoner there. Value them not, and they
W1:129.6  What loss can be for you in choosing not to value nothingness? This  world holds nothing that you really want, but what you choose instead
W1:129.8 Beyond this  world there is a world I want. I choose to see that world instead of
W1:129.8 Beyond this world there is a  world I want. I choose to see that world instead of this, for here is
W1:129.8 Beyond this world there is a world I want. I choose to see that  world instead of this, for here is nothing that I really want.
W1:129.9 Then close your eyes upon the  world you see, and in the silent darkness watch the lights that are
W1:129.9  and in the silent darkness watch the lights that are not of this  world light one by one until where one begins, another ends, losing
W1:129.10  bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest beyond the  world of darkness. Here is light your eyes cannot behold. And yet
W1:129.12 The  world I see has nothing that I want. Beyond this world there is a
W1:129.12 The world I see has nothing that I want. Beyond this  world there is a world I want.
W1:129.12 The world I see has nothing that I want. Beyond this world there is a  world I want.
W1:130.1  to see, believing what you see is really there. No one can see a  world his mind has not accorded value. And no one can fail to look
W1:130.2  what he does not want to have reality? And who can choose to see a  world of which he is afraid? Fear must make blind, for this its
W1:130.3 What, then, can fear project upon the  world? What can be seen in darkness that is real? Truth is eclipsed
W1:130.4  and the multitude of differences you believe make up the  world. They are not there. Love's enemy has made them up. Yet love
W1:130.6 Today we will attempt no compromise where none is possible. The  world you see is proof you have already made a choice as
W1:130.8 Begin your searching for the other  world by asking for a strength beyond your own, and recognize what it
W1:130.8  five minutes emptying your hands of all the petty treasures of this  world. You wait for God to help you as you say:
W1:130.9  Let me accept the strength God offers me and see no value in this  world that I may find my freedom and deliverance.
W1:131.4  you came, and you will surely do the thing you came for. But the  world cannot dictate the goal for which you search unless you give it
W1:131.4  Otherwise, you still are free to choose a goal that lies beyond the  world and every worldly thought and one which comes to you from an
W1:131.8 Heaven remains your one alternative to this strange  world you made and all its ways—its shifting patterns and uncertain
W1:131.11  three times today, and we will ask to see the rising of the real  world to replace the foolish images that we held dear, with true
W1:131.13 I ask to see a different  world and think a different kind of thought from those I made. The
W1:131.13  world and think a different kind of thought from those I made. The  world I seek I did not make alone. The thoughts I want to think are
W1:131.14  your mind and see, although your eyes are closed, the senseless  world you think is real. Review the thoughts as well which are
W1:131.14  real. Review the thoughts as well which are compatible with such a  world and which you think are true. Then let them go, and sink below
W1:131.16  of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause before you realize the  world you see before you in the light reflects the truth you knew and
W1:131.17  find the goal of all your searching here and all the seeking of the  world, which ends together as you pass beyond the door.
W1:131.18  is set by Heaven Itself to be a time of grace for you and for the  world. If you forget this happy fact, remind yourself with this:
W1:132.1 What keeps the  world in chains but your beliefs? And what can save the world except
W1:132.1  keeps the world in chains but your beliefs? And what can save the  world except your Self? Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you
W1:132.1  are as strong in their effects as is the truth. A madman thinks the  world he sees is real and does not doubt it. Nor can he be swayed by
W1:132.3  The present now remains the only time. Here in the present is the  world set free. For as you let the past be lifted and release the
W1:132.3  future from your ancient fears, you find escape and give it to the  world.
W1:132.4 You have enslaved the  world with all your fears, your doubts and miseries, your pain and
W1:132.4  because you hold the bitter thought of death within your mind. The  world is nothing in itself. Your mind must give it meaning. And what
W1:132.5 Perhaps you think you did not make the  world but came unwillingly to what was made already, hardly waiting
W1:132.5  you found exactly what you looked for when you came. There is no  world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate
W1:132.5  release. Change but your mind on what you want to see, and all the  world must change accordingly.
W1:132.6  lesson for today. It is not pride which tells you that you made the  world you see and that it changes as you change your mind. But it is
W1:132.6  change your mind. But it is pride that argues you have come into a  world quite separate from yourself, impervious to what you think, and
W1:132.7 There is no  world! This is the central thought the course attempts to teach. Not
W1:132.8  healing is the gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no  world and can accept the lesson now. Their readiness will bring the
W1:132.8  rise to teach it. Others find it in experience that is not of this  world, which shows them that the world does not exist because what
W1:132.8  in experience that is not of this world, which shows them that the  world does not exist because what they behold must be the truth, and
W1:132.8  they behold must be the truth, and yet it clearly contradicts the  world. And some will find it in this course and in the exercises that
W1:132.9 Today's idea is true because the  world does not exist. And if it is indeed your own imagining, then
W1:132.10  and no time that can bring change to your eternal state. How can a  world of time and place exist if you remain as God created you?
W1:132.11  another way of saying that to know your Self is the salvation of the  world? To free the world from every kind of pain is but to change
W1:132.11  that to know your Self is the salvation of the world? To free the  world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind about
W1:132.11  kind of pain is but to change your mind about yourself. There is no  world apart from your ideas because ideas leave not their source, and
W1:132.11  ideas because ideas leave not their source, and you maintain the  world within your mind in thought.
W1:132.12  does not share His timelessness and love. Are these inherent in the  world you see? Does it create like Him? Unless it does, it is not
W1:132.12  it does, it is not real and cannot be at all. If you are real, the  world you see is false, for God's creation is unlike the world in
W1:132.12  real, the world you see is false, for God's creation is unlike the  world in every way. And as it was His thought by which you were
W1:132.13 Release the  world! Your real creations wait for this release to give you
W1:132.14 There is no  world because it is a thought apart from God and made to separate the
W1:132.14  away a part of God Himself and thus destroy His wholeness. Can a  world which comes from this idea be real? Can it be anywhere? Deny
W1:132.14  accept the truth. Deny you are a shadow briefly laid upon a dying  world. Release your mind, and you will look upon a world released.
W1:132.14  laid upon a dying world. Release your mind, and you will look upon a  world released.
W1:132.15 Today our purpose is to free the  world from all the idle thoughts we ever held about it and about all
W1:132.15  us along with them. And we who are as He created us would loose the  world this day from every one of our illusions that we may be free.
W1:132.17 I who remain as God created me would loose the  world from all I thought it was. For I am real because the world is
W1:132.17  loose the world from all I thought it was. For I am real because the  world is not, and I would know my own reality.
W1:132.18  no strain, and let your mind in quietness be changed so that the  world is freed along with you.
W1:132.19  need not realize that healing comes to many brothers far across the  world as well as to the ones you see near by as you send out these
W1:132.19  the ones you see near by as you send out these thoughts to bless the  world. But you will sense your own release, although you may not
W1:132.20  the day, increase the freedom sent through your ideas to all the  world, and say whenever you are tempted to deny the power of your
W1:132.21 I loose the  world from all I thought it was and choose my own reality instead.
W1:133.2  to bodily concerns, to things you buy, to eminence as valued by the  world, you ask for sorrow, not for happiness. This course does not
W1:133.2  does not try to substitute utopian ideas for satisfactions which the  world contains.
W1:133.3 There are no satisfactions in the  world. Today we list the real criteria by which to test all things
W1:134.7  is the only thing that stands for truth in the illusions of the  world. It sees their nothingness and looks right through the thousand
W1:134.10  is. Forgiveness stands between illusions and the truth, between the  world you see and that which lies beyond, between the hell of guilt
W1:134.13 Forgiveness must be practiced, for the  world cannot perceive its meaning nor provide a guide to teach you
W1:134.13  a guide to teach you its beneficence. There is no thought in all the  world which leads to any understanding of the laws it follows nor the
W1:134.13  it follows nor the thought which it reflects. It is as alien to the  world as is your own reality. And yet it joins your mind with the
W1:134.17  them, but realize that you are using his “offenses” but to save the  world from all ideas of sin. Briefly consider all the evil things you
W1:135.3 The  world is based on this insane belief. And all its structures, all its
W1:135.3  all serve but to preserve its sense of threat. For no one walks the  world in armature but must have terror striking at his heart.
W1:135.21  will join their light with yours, and it will be increased until the  world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will our brothers lay aside
W1:135.28  that comes to you without your planning. Learn today. And all the  world will take this giant stride and celebrate your Eastertime with
W1:136.8  for an instant truth arises in your own deluded mind and all your  world appears to totter and prepare to fall. Now are you sick that
W1:137.2  by a solid wall of sickened flesh which it cannot surmount. The  world obeys the laws that sickness serves, but healing operates apart
W1:137.5  but removes illusions that have not occurred. Just as the real  world will arise to take the place of what has never been at all,
W1:137.6  anti-Christ becomes more powerful than Christ to those who dream the  world is real. The body seems to be more solid and more stable than
W1:137.7 Just as forgiveness shines away all sin and the real  world will occupy the place of what you made, so healing must replace
W1:137.9 Healing, forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the  world of sorrow for a world where sadness cannot enter, are the means
W1:137.9  forgiveness, and the glad exchange of all the world of sorrow for a  world where sadness cannot enter, are the means by which the Holy
W1:137.10  recognize them all, nor realize how great your offering to all the  world when you let healing come to you. But you are never healed
W1:137.13  is to let our minds be healed that we may carry healing to the  world, exchanging curse for blessing, pain for joy, and separation
W1:137.15  healed, I am not healed alone. And I would share my healing with the  world, that sickness may be banished from the mind of God's one Son,
W1:138.1 In this  world, Heaven is a choice because here we believe there are
W1:138.2  creation cannot enter here unless it is reflected in some form the  world can understand. Truth cannot come where it could only be
W1:138.6 In this insanely complicated  world, Heaven appears to take the form of choice rather than merely
W1:139.6  is the depth of madness. Yet it is the universal question of the  world. What does this prove except the world is mad? Why share its
W1:139.6  the universal question of the world. What does this prove except the  world is mad? Why share its madness in the sad belief that what is
W1:139.6  in the sad belief that what is universal here is true? Nothing the  world believes is true. It is a place whose purpose is to be a home
W1:139.13  let your mind be cleared of all the foolish cobwebs which the  world would weave around the holy Son of God. And learn the fragile
W1:140.1 Cure is a word that cannot be applied to any remedy the  world accepts as beneficial. What the world perceives as therapeutic
W1:140.1  be applied to any remedy the world accepts as beneficial. What the  world perceives as therapeutic is but what will make the body
W1:140.3  dreams the Holy Spirit brings are different from the dreaming of the  world, where one can merely dream he is awake. The dreams forgiveness
W1:140.7  to what is sick so that it can be cured. There is no remedy the  world provides that can effect a change in anything. The mind that
W1:R4.12  and of happiness for us and through our faithfulness restored the  world from darkness to the light, from grief to joy, from pain to
W1:144.2 [128] The  world I see has nothing that I want.
W1:145.1 [129] Beyond this  world there is a world I want.
W1:145.1 [129] Beyond this world there is a  world I want.
W1:146.2 [132] I loose the  world from all I thought it was.
W1:151.2 You do not seem to doubt the  world you see. You do not really question what is shown you through
W1:151.3  witness never falser was than this. But how else do you judge the  world you see? You place pathetic faith in what your eyes and ears
W1:151.10  be judge as well of everything that seems to happen to you in this  world. His lessons will enable you to bridge the gap between
W1:151.11  in change, the pure in sin, and only Heaven's blessing on the  world.
W1:151.12  is not a part of anything you see. It stands beyond the body and the  world, past every witness for unholiness, within the Holy, holy as
W1:151.16  your Eastertide. And so you lay the gift of snow-white lilies on the  world, replacing witnesses to sin and death. Through your
W1:151.16  witnesses to sin and death. Through your transfiguration is the  world redeemed and joyfully released from guilt. Now do we lift our
W1:151.17  remember Him Who is salvation and deliverance. As we give thanks the  world unites with us and happily accepts our holy thoughts which
W1:151.17  made pure. Now has our ministry begun at last, to carry round the  world the joyous news that truth has no illusions and the peace of
W1:152.1  your wish, and nothing is omitted that you choose. Here is your  world, complete in all details. Here is its whole reality for you.
W1:152.6 Is it not strange that you believe to think you made the  world you see is arrogance? God made it not. Of this you can be sure.
W1:152.6  that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think He made a  world where such things seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only
W1:152.6  things seem to have reality. He is not mad. Yet only madness makes a  world like this.
W1:153.1 You who feel threatened by this changing  world, its twists of fortune and its bitter jests, its brief
W1:153.1  it merely lends to take away again, attend this lesson well. The  world provides no safety. It is rooted in attack and all its “gifts”
W1:153.2 The  world gives rise but to defensiveness. For threat brings anger, anger
W1:153.4  to be an idle dream, beyond the possible. The sense of threat the  world encourages is so much deeper and so far beyond the frenzy and
W1:153.7  fearful image you believe you see at work in all the evils of the  world? What but illusions could defend you now, when it is but
W1:153.8  play such childish games today. For our true purpose is to save the  world, and we would not exchange for foolishness the endless joy our
W1:153.9  chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy blessing through the  world.
W1:153.11  teach what you have learned, salvation waits and darkness holds the  world in grim imprisonment. Nor will you learn that light has come to
W1:153.13  to hope, abandoned by your Father, left alone in terror in a fearful  world made mad by sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over. Now
W1:153.14  the story ended. Let this day bring the last chapter closer to the  world that everyone may learn the tales he reads of terrifying
W1:153.16  Sometimes we will forget. At other times the business of the  world will close on us, and we will be unable to withdraw a little
W1:153.18  moment, even though your time is spent in offering salvation to the  world. Think you He will not make this possible for you who chose to
W1:153.18  for you who chose to carry out His plan for the salvation of the  world and yours?
W1:154.4  Voice of God of Father and of Son that sets apart salvation from the  world. It is this Voice which speaks of laws the world does not obey,
W1:154.4  salvation from the world. It is this Voice which speaks of laws the  world does not obey, which promises salvation from all sin, with
W1:154.6  the role of Heaven's messengers which sets them off from those the  world appoints. The messages which they deliver are intended first
W1:154.15 The  world recedes as we light up our minds and realize these holy words
W1:155.1 There is a way of living in the  world that is not here, although it seems to be. You do not change
W1:155.1  forehead is serene; your eyes are quiet. And the ones who walk the  world as you do recognize their own. Yet those who have not yet
W1:155.2 The  world is an illusion. Those who choose to come to it are seeking for
W1:155.4 If truth demanded they give up the  world, it would appear to them as if it asked the sacrifice of
W1:155.4  of something that is real. Many have chosen to renounce the  world while still believing its reality, and they have suffered from
W1:155.4  not been released accordingly. Others have chosen nothing but the  world, and they have suffered from a sense of loss still deeper,
W1:155.13 Your feet are safely set upon the way that leads the  world to God. Look not to ways which seem to lead you elsewhere.
W1:156.1  this be true, how can you be apart from God? How could you walk the  world alone and separate from your Source?
W1:156.2  nor be in parts uncertain and in others sure. You cannot walk the  world apart from God because you could not be without Him. He is what
W1:156.4  a Light in you Which cannot die, Whose Presence is so holy that the  world is sanctified because of you. All things that live bring gifts
W1:156.6  As you step back, the Light in you steps forward and encompasses the  world. It heralds not the end of sin in punishment and death. In
W1:156.9 I walk with God in perfect holiness. I light the  world, I light my mind and all the minds which God created one with
W1:157.4  in still anticipation and in quiet joy wherein you quickly leave the  world behind.
W1:157.6  now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the  world. We cannot give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a
W1:157.6  that he may come the sooner to the same experience in which the  world is quietly forgot and Heaven is remembered for a while.
W1:157.7  increases and all goals but this become of little worth, the  world to which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of
W1:158.2 You have received all this. No one who walks the  world but has received it. It is not this knowledge which you give,
W1:158.6 Here is the joining of the  world of doubt and shadows made with the intangible. Here is a quiet
W1:158.6  shadows made with the intangible. Here is a quiet place within the  world made holy by forgiveness and by love. Here are all
W1:158.8  all who would achieve it. It requires but the recognition that the  world cannot give anything that faintly can compare with this in
W1:159.1  you have it in your own possession. Here the laws of Heaven and the  world agree. But here they also separate. The world believes that to
W1:159.1  laws of Heaven and the world agree. But here they also separate. The  world believes that to possess a thing, it must be kept. Salvation
W1:159.3  been kept obscure. Christ's vision pictures Heaven, for it sees a  world so like to Heaven that what God created perfect can be mirrored
W1:159.3  God created perfect can be mirrored there. The darkened glass the  world presents can show but twisted images in broken parts. The real
W1:159.3  world presents can show but twisted images in broken parts. The real  world pictures Heaven's innocence.
W1:159.5  worlds. And in its power can you safely trust to carry you from this  world into one made holy by forgiveness. Things which seem quite
W1:159.7 Here does the  world remember what was lost when it was made. For here it is
W1:159.8  roots. This is their home. They can be brought from here back to the  world, but they can never grow in its unnourishing and shallow soil.
W1:159.9  lilies do not leave their home when they are carried back into the  world. Their roots remain. They do not leave their source, but carry
W1:159.9  leave their source, but carry its beneficence with them and turn the  world into a garden like the one they came from and to which they go
W1:159.10  way He has established. Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven  world. It is His gift whereby a sweet transition can be made from
W1:160.2  so foreign to the truth he speaks a different language, looks upon a  world truth does not know, and understands what truth regards as
W1:160.9 Today we offer thanks that Christ has come to search the  world for what belongs to Him. His vision sees no strangers, but
W1:161.1  and anger had prevailed before. Here is Atonement made complete, the  world passed safely by, and Heaven now restored. Here is the answer
W1:161.2  fragments of the whole, for only thus could it invent the partial  world you see. The purpose of all seeing is to show you what you wish
W1:162.1 This single thought, held firmly in the mind, would save the  world. From time to time we will repeat it, as we reach another stage
W1:162.1  words are sacred, for they are the words God gave in answer to the  world you made. By them it disappears, and all things seen within its
W1:162.2  might. They are the trumpet of awakening that sounds around the  world. The dead awake in answer to its call. And those who live and
W1:162.3  sleeps and wakens with the truth before him always. He will save the  world because he gives the world what he receives each time he
W1:162.3  truth before him always. He will save the world because he gives the  world what he receives each time he practices the words of truth.
W1:162.4  places all His gifts and all His Love to be distributed to all the  world, increased in giving, kept complete because its sharing is
W1:162.5  for who could cherish sin when holiness like this has blessed the  world? Who could despair when perfect joy is yours, available to all
W1:162.6  night, and darkness is no more. The light is come today to bless the  world, for you have recognized the Son of God, and in your
W1:164.1  as represented there. He hears the sounds the senseless busy  world engenders, yet He hears them faintly, for beyond them all He
W1:164.2 The  world fades easily away before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A
W1:164.2  before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A melody from far beyond the  world increasingly is more and more distinct—an ancient call to
W1:164.3  hears. How quiet is the time you give to spend with Him beyond the  world. How easily are all your seeming sins forgot and all your
W1:164.3  grief laid by, for sights and sounds which come from nearer than the  world are clear to you who will today accept the gifts He gives.
W1:164.4 There is a silence into which the  world cannot intrude. There is an ancient peace you carry in your
W1:164.5  of judgment left to Him Who judges true. And in His judgment will a  world unfold in perfect innocence before your eyes. Now will you see
W1:164.6 Brothers, this day is sacred to the  world. Your vision, given you from far beyond all things within the
W1:164.6  world. Your vision, given you from far beyond all things within the  world, looks back on them in a new light. And what you see becomes
W1:164.6  new light. And what you see becomes the healing and salvation of the  world. The valuable and valueless are both perceived and recognized
W1:164.7  We will receive but what is given us from judgment made beyond the  world. Our practicing today becomes our gift of thankfulness for our
W1:164.7  our own. We stand forgiven in the sight of Christ, with all the  world forgiven in our own.
W1:164.8 We bless the  world as we behold it in the light in which our Savior looks on us
W1:164.8  of salvation. He has need of your most holy mind to save the  world.
W1:164.9  you receiving your consent and your acceptance. We can change the  world if you acknowledge them. You may not see the value your
W1:164.9  them. You may not see the value your acceptance gives the  world. But this you surely want—you can exchange all suffering for
W1:165.1 What makes this  world seem real except your own denial of the truth which lies
W1:165.6  to heal as you were healed. For now you are among the saviors of the  world. Your destiny lies there and nowhere else. Would God consent to
W1:166.2 Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the  world. This world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet
W1:166.2 Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the world. This  world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet those who
W1:166.2  He wills. Impossible indeed, but every mind that looks upon the  world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy, and true believes
W1:166.3  their presence, contradict the truth, and suffer to preserve the  world he made.
W1:166.4  Here is the only safety he believes that he can find. Without the  world he made is he an outcast, homeless and afraid. He does not
W1:166.5  God is with him, and a treasure his so great that everything the  world contains is valueless before its magnitude.
W1:166.15  He has shared His joy with you. And now you go to share it with the  world.
W1:167.2 In this  world there appears to be a state that is life's opposite. You call
W1:168.4 God loves His Son. Request Him now to give the means by which this  world will disappear, and vision first will come with knowledge but
W1:168.4  an instant later. For in grace you see a light that covers all the  world in love and watch fear disappear from every face as hearts rise
W1:169.1  It is the world's most lofty aspiration, for it leads beyond the  world entirely. It is past learning yet the goal of learning, for
W1:169.2 Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within a  world of seeming hate and fear. By grace alone the hate and fear are
W1:169.2  are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to everything the  world contains that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of
W1:169.2  whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace cannot believe the  world of fear is real.
W1:169.6  merely disappeared into His Father, as his Father has in him. The  world has never been at all. Eternity remains a constant state.
W1:169.9 There is no need to further clarify what no one in the  world can understand. When revelation of your oneness comes, it will
W1:169.12  a clear reflection of the unity he felt an instant back to bless the  world? How could you finally attain to it forever while a part of you
W1:169.14 Our learning goal today does not exceed this prayer, yet in the  world, what could be more than what we ask this day of Him Who gives
W1:170.12  with you. This time you leave it here. And you return to a new  world unburdened by its weight; beheld not in its sightless eyes but
W1:170.14  in us for there is none in You. Your peace is ours. And we bless the  world with what we have received from You alone. We choose again and
W1:R5.11  I need—that you will hear the words I speak and give them to the  world. You are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands, through which I
W1:R5.11  are my voice, my eyes, my feet, my hands, through which I save the  world. The Self from Which I call to you is but your own. To Him we
W1:R5.12  but an ancient truth we knew before illusion seemed to claim the  world. And we remind the world that it is free of all illusions every
W1:R5.12  we knew before illusion seemed to claim the world. And we remind the  world that it is free of all illusions every time we say,
W1:181.9  as our focus goes beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly sinless  world. When seeing this is all we want to see, when this is all we
W1:181.9  own as well. This will become the only thing we see reflected in the  world and in ourselves.
W1:181.10 The  world which once proclaimed our sins becomes the proof that we are
W1:182.1 This  world you seem to live in is not home to you. And somewhere in your
W1:182.3 We speak today for everyone who walks this  world, for he is not at home. He goes uncertainly about in endless
W1:182.6  unheard amid the grating sounds and harsh and rasping noises of the  world. Yet does He know that in you still abides His sure protection.
W1:182.7  again where He does not belong and where He lives an outcast in a  world of alien thoughts. His patience has no limits. He will wait
W1:182.8 When you are still an instant, when the  world recedes from you, when valueless ideas cease to have value in
W1:183.1  identity. Your Father's Name reminds you who you are, even within a  world that does not know; even though you have not remembered it.
W1:183.3 Repeat God's Name and all the  world responds by laying down illusions. Every dream the world holds
W1:183.3  and all the world responds by laying down illusions. Every dream the  world holds dear has suddenly gone by, and where it seemed to stand
W1:183.3  and the tears of pain are dried as happy laughter comes to bless the  world.
W1:183.8  of those who call on Him with names of idols cherished by the  world. They cannot reach Him thus. He cannot hear requests that He be
W1:183.10  experience the gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the  world and give the world the same release you found. You can remember
W1:183.10  gifts of grace. You can escape all bondage of the world and give the  world the same release you found. You can remember what the world
W1:183.10  give the world the same release you found. You can remember what the  world forgot and offer it your own remembering. You can accept today
W1:184.3 What are these names by which the  world becomes a series of discrete events, of things un-unified, of
W1:184.6 This is the sum of the inheritance the  world bestows. And everyone who learns to think that it is so accepts
W1:184.6  think that it is so accepts the signs and symbols which assert the  world is real. It is for this they stand. They leave no doubt that
W1:184.7 Such is the teaching of the  world. It is a phase of learning everyone who comes must go through.
W1:184.7  does he question its effects. Learning which stops with what the  world would teach stops short of meaning. In its proper place, it
W1:184.7  a new perception can be gained, and all the arbitrary names the  world bestows can be withdrawn as they are raised to doubt.
W1:184.8 Think not you made the  world. Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and Heaven is beyond
W1:184.9  indeed be strange if you were asked to go beyond all symbols of the  world, forgetting them forever; yet were asked to take a teaching
W1:184.9  to take a teaching function. You have need to use the symbols of the  world a while. But be you not deceived by them as well. They do not
W1:184.9  them. They become but means by which you can communicate in ways the  world can understand, but which you recognize is not the unity where
W1:184.10  what you need are intervals each day in which the learning of the  world becomes a transitory phase—a prison house from which you go
W1:184.10  to proclaim its unreality in terms which still have meaning in the  world which darkness rules.
W1:184.11 Use all the little names and symbols which delineate the  world of darkness. Yet accept them not as your reality. The Holy
W1:184.11  Source Which unifies all things within Itself. Use all the names the  world bestows on them but for convenience, yet do not forget they
W1:184.12  is the inheritance He gave to those who chose the teaching of the  world to take the place of Heaven. In our practicing, our purpose is
W1:185.2  words. But few indeed have meant them. You have but to look upon the  world you see around you to be sure how very few they are. The world
W1:185.2  the world you see around you to be sure how very few they are. The  world would be completely changed should any two agree these words
W1:186.1  as Heaven. It unites all wills on earth in Heaven's plan to save the  world, restoring it to Heaven's peace.
W1:186.7  not know, sensing its basis crumble. Let it go. Salvation of the  world depends on you and not upon this little pile of dust. What can
W1:186.10  concentrated drive toward goals like these? The functions which the  world esteems are so uncertain that they change ten times an hour at
W1:186.13  and what is given in His Name takes on the form most useful in a  world of form.
W1:186.14  has been restored to you is greater still. Salvation of the  world depends on you who can forgive. Such is your function here.
W1:187.1  possess what you would give. It is the second phase on which the  world and true perception differ. Having had and given, then the
W1:187.1  the world and true perception differ. Having had and given, then the  world asserts that you have lost what you possessed. The truth
W1:187.3  first belong to you before you give them. If you are to save the  world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you will not
W1:187.5  they cannot be lost. There is no giver and receiver in the sense the  world conceives of them. There is a giver who retains, another who
W1:187.11 Now are we blessed, and now we bless the  world. What we have looked upon we would extend, for we would see it
W1:188.1  is but a recognition, not a change at all. Light is not of the  world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as well. The
W1:188.3  of God is shining in you now and from your heart extends around the  world. It pauses to caress each living thing and leave a blessing
W1:188.4 The shining in your mind reminds the  world of what it has forgotten, and the world restores the memory to
W1:188.4  in your mind reminds the world of what it has forgotten, and the  world restores the memory to you as well. From you salvation radiates
W1:188.4  in you shine brighter, adding to the gifts you have to offer to the  world.
W1:188.6  alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer  world and let your thoughts fly to the peace within. They know the
W1:188.9  that share our life. We will forgive them all, absolving all the  world of what we thought it did to us. For it is we who make the
W1:188.9  the world of what we thought it did to us. For it is we who make the  world as we would have it. Now we choose that it be innocent, devoid
W1:189.1 There is a light in you the  world cannot perceive. And with its eyes you will not see this light,
W1:189.1  its eyes you will not see this light, for you are blinded by the  world. Yet you have eyes to see it. It is there for you to look upon.
W1:189.1  we practice now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see the  world anew, shining in innocence, alive with hope, and blessed with
W1:189.2 Who could feel fear in such a  world as this? It welcomes you, rejoices that you came, and sings
W1:189.3 This is the  world the Love of God reveals. It is so different from the world you
W1:189.3  is the world the Love of God reveals. It is so different from the  world you see through darkened eyes of malice and of fear that one
W1:189.3  one can be perceived at all. The other one is wholly meaningless. A  world in which forgiveness shines on everything and peace offers its
W1:189.3  its gentle light to everyone is inconceivable to those who see a  world of hatred, rising from attack, poised to avenge, to murder and
W1:189.4 Yet is the  world of hatred equally unseen and inconceivable to those who feel
W1:189.4  unseen and inconceivable to those who feel God's Love in them. Their  world reflects the quietness and peace that shines in them, the
W1:189.5  hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive a fearful  world, held cruelly in death's sharp-pointed, bony fingers. If you
W1:189.5  fingers. If you feel the Love of God within you, you look out upon a  world of mercy and of love.
W1:189.7  you are and what God is, all concepts you have learned about the  world, all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of
W1:189.7  nor one belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this  world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your
W1:189.9  His love shines outward from its home within and lightens up the  world in innocence.
W1:189.10  that Your Will, which is our own as well, be done in us and in the  world, that it becomes a part of Heaven now. Amen.
W1:190.5  oppression. No one but yourself affects you. There is nothing in the  world which has the power to make you ill or sad or weak or frail.
W1:190.6 My holy brothers, think of this awhile—the  world you see does nothing. It has no effects at all. It merely
W1:190.7 The  world may seem to cause you pain. And yet the world, as causeless,
W1:190.7 The world may seem to cause you pain. And yet the  world, as causeless, has no power to cause. As an effect, it cannot
W1:190.8  to triumph over love and time replace eternity and Heaven. And the  world becomes a cruel and a bitter place, where sorrow rules and
W1:190.11  instead of conflict, and the light of Heaven for the darkness of the  world.
W1:191.1 Here is your declaration of release from bondage of the  world. And here as well is all the world released. You do not see
W1:191.1  of release from bondage of the world. And here as well is all the  world released. You do not see what you have done by giving to the
W1:191.1  world released. You do not see what you have done by giving to the  world the role of jailer to the Son of God. What could it be but
W1:191.2 What have you done that this should be your  world? What have you done that this is what you see? Deny your own
W1:191.5  find a place among your thoughts, and you have risen far above the  world and all the worldly thoughts that hold it prisoner. And from
W1:191.5  out the way to happiness that changed his whole perception of the  world.
W1:191.6  with this holy thought, you learn as well that you have freed the  world. You have no need to use it cruelly and then perceive this
W1:191.6  You will not see a devastating image of yourself walking the  world in terror with the world twisting in agony because your fears
W1:191.6  a devastating image of yourself walking the world in terror with the  world twisting in agony because your fears have laid the mark of
W1:191.10  death echoed since time began. For time has lost its hold upon the  world. The Son of God has come in glory to redeem the lost, to save
W1:191.10  in glory to redeem the lost, to save the helpless, and to give the  world the gift of his forgiveness. Who could see the world as dark
W1:191.10  and to give the world the gift of his forgiveness. Who could see the  world as dark and sinful when God's Son has come again at last to set
W1:191.11  game of death, of being helpless, pitifully tied to dissolution in a  world which shows no mercy to you. Yet when you accord it mercy will
W1:191.12  from his sleep, and opening his holy eyes return again to bless the  world he made. In error it began. But it will end in the reflection
W1:191.12  Then join with me today. Your glory is the light that saves the  world. Do not withhold salvation longer. Look about the world, and
W1:191.12  saves the world. Do not withhold salvation longer. Look about the  world, and see the suffering there. Is not your heart willing to
W1:191.13  stay in chains till you are free. They cannot see the mercy of the  world until you find it for yourself. They suffer pain until you have
W1:191.13  life. You are the holy Son of God Himself. Remember this and all the  world is free. Remember this and earth and Heaven are one.
W1:192.1  God and with your Self. Yet what can such a function mean within a  world of envy, hatred, and attack? Therefore you have a function in
W1:192.1  of envy, hatred, and attack? Therefore you have a function in the  world in its own terms. For who can understand a language far beyond
W1:192.3 Creation cannot even be conceived of in the  world. It has no meaning here. Forgiveness is the closest it can come
W1:192.4  all things unknown in Heaven, sees them disappear, and leaves the  world a clean and unmarked slate on which the Word of God can now
W1:192.8  time in keeping watch on him. The bars which limit him become the  world in which the jailer lives, along with him. And it is on his
W1:193.3  holy law of Love be given form in which it could be offered to the  world. And He created One Who could perceive what form this law
W1:193.9  of fear. These are the words by which salvation comes to all the  world.
W1:193.17  go with it. Thus will you remain unbound, in peace eternal in the  world of time. This is the lesson God would have you learn: there is
W1:193.17  that lets it be to you another step to Him and to salvation of the  world.
W1:194.2  about by guilt. Accept today's idea, and you have released the  world from all imprisonment by loosening the heavy chains that locked
W1:194.2  You are saved, and your salvation thus becomes the gift you give the  world because you have received.
W1:194.4  They are one to Him, and so they should be one to you. Yet in this  world the temporal progression still seems real. And so you are not
W1:194.5  the light that was kept hidden in God's Son is freed to bless the  world. Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a world made
W1:194.5  to bless the world. Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a  world made free with him to share his holiness.
W1:194.6  way of quick reaction to temptation, you extend your learning to the  world. And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so will the
W1:194.6  world. And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so will the  world perceive that it is saved.
W1:194.7  pain has found his way to present peace and certainty of care the  world can never threaten. He is sure that his perception may be
W1:194.8  your thoughts of sin and evil with the truth of love. Think you the  world could fail to gain thereby and every living creature not
W1:194.8  healed perception? Who entrusts himself to God has also placed the  world within the hands to which he has himself appealed for comfort
W1:194.8  for comfort and security. He lays aside the sick illusions of the  world along with his and offers peace to both.
W1:194.9  choice for us that leaves temptation far behind. No longer is the  world our enemy, for we have chosen that we be its friends.
W1:195.1 Gratitude is a lesson hard to learn for those who look upon the  world amiss. The most that they can do is see themselves as better
W1:195.1  to Him alone Who made all cause of sorrow disappear throughout the  world.
W1:196.9  for today. If it can but be you you crucify, you did not hurt the  world and need not fear its vengeance and pursuit. Nor need you hide
W1:197.3 The  world must thank you when you offer it release from your illusions.
W1:198.7 This  world has many seeming separate haunts where mercy has no meaning and
W1:198.12  condemnation in God's Son, and Heaven is remembered instantly; the  world forgotten, all its weird beliefs forgotten with it, as the face
W1:198.13 Now is there silence all around the  world. Now is there stillness where before there was a frantic rush
W1:199.5  There is no thought that will not gain thereby in power to help the  world, and none which will not gain in added gifts to you as well. We
W1:199.5  added gifts to you as well. We sound the call of freedom round the  world with this idea. And would you be exempt from the acceptance of
W1:199.8  you for today. Your brothers stand released with you in it; the  world is blessed along with you; God's Son will weep no more, and
W1:200.4  no meaning to you, though you sought to make them meaningful. This  world is not where you belong. You are a stranger here. But it is
W1:200.4  a stranger here. But it is given you to find the means whereby the  world no longer seems to be a prison house for you or anyone.
W1:200.5  iron doors. For you must change your mind about the purpose of the  world if you would find escape. You will be bound till all the world
W1:200.5  the world if you would find escape. You will be bound till all the  world is seen by you as blessed and everyone made free of your
W1:200.7  except the peace of God because He has one Son, who cannot make a  world in opposition to God's Will and to his own, which is the same
W1:200.7  own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to find in such a  world? It cannot have reality because it never was created. Is it
W1:200.7  he would seek for peace? Or must he see that, as he looks on it, the  world can but deceive? Yet can he learn to look on it another way and
W1:200.8 Peace is the bridge that everyone will cross to leave this  world behind. But peace begins within the world perceived as
W1:200.8  will cross to leave this world behind. But peace begins within the  world perceived as different and leading from this fresh perception
W1:200.9  the Son will hear. And that is all there is to what appears to be a  world apart from God where bodies have reality.
W1:200.11  be to us today. For we have found a simple, happy way to leave the  world of ambiguity and to replace our shifting goals and solitary
W1:R6.1  truly. Each would be enough to give release to you and to the  world from every form of bondage and invite the memory of God to come
W1:R6.5  or we remember in between we have a function that transcends the  world we see. Beyond this and a repetition of the special thought we
W1:R6.11  each practice period can best become a loving gift of freedom to the  world.
W1:204.1  that I am His Son, not slave to time, unbound by laws which rule the  world of sick illusions, free in God, forever and forever one with
W1:206.1 [186] Salvation of the  world depends on me. I am entrusted with the gifts of God because I
W1:207.1 [187] I bless the  world because I bless myself. God's blessing shines upon me from
W1:212.1  function that would set me free from all the vain illusions of the  world. Only the function God has given me can offer freedom. Only
W2:I.1  remain are merely introductions to the times in which we leave the  world of pain and go to enter peace. Now we begin to reach the goal
W2:I.6  holy times to You in gratitude to Him Who taught us how to leave the  world of sorrow in exchange for its replacement given us by You. We
W2:I.6  gifts of thanks from us, as through Christ's vision we behold a  world beyond the one we made and take that world to be the full
W2:I.6  vision we behold a world beyond the one we made and take that  world to be the full replacement of our own.
W2:224.1  from guilt that Heaven looks to it to give it light. It lights the  world as well. It is the gift my Father gave me, the one as well I
W2:224.1  well. It is the gift my Father gave me, the one as well I give the  world. There is no gift but this that can be either given or
W2:224.2  or what it is I do. Remind me, Father, now, for I am weary of the  world I see. Reveal what You would have me see instead.
W2:226.1 If I so choose, I can depart this  world entirely. It is not death which makes this possible, but it is
W2:226.1  this possible, but it is change of mind about the purpose of the  world. If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so will it still
W2:226.1  it now, so will it still remain for me. But if I see no value in the  world as I behold it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search
W2:WS.3  is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to support the  world of dreams and malice. Thus it lets illusions go. By not
W2:WS.5 From here we give salvation to the  world, for it is here salvation was received. The song of our
W2:WS.5  was received. The song of our rejoicing is the call to all the  world that freedom is returned, that time is almost over, and God's
W2:WS.5  Father is remembered, dreams are done, eternity has shined away the  world, and only Heaven now exists at all.
W2:237.1  I will arise in glory and allow the light in me to shine upon the  world throughout the day. I bring the world the tidings of salvation
W2:237.1  light in me to shine upon the world throughout the day. I bring the  world the tidings of salvation that I hear as God my Father speaks to
W2:237.1  that I hear as God my Father speaks to me. And I behold the  world that Christ would have me see, aware it ends the bitter dream
W2:240.1  have seen yourself as you could never be and therefore look upon a  world which is impossible. Not one thing in this world is true. It
W2:240.1  look upon a world which is impossible. Not one thing in this  world is true. It does not matter what the form in which it may
W2:WIW.1 The  world is false perception. It is born of error, and it has not left
W2:WIW.1  of separation has been changed to one of true forgiveness will the  world be seen in quite another light, and one which leads to truth,
W2:WIW.1  in quite another light, and one which leads to truth, where all the  world must disappear and all its errors vanish. Now its source has
W2:WIW.2 The  world was made as an attack on God. It symbolizes fear. And what is
W2:WIW.2  It symbolizes fear. And what is fear except love's absence? Thus the  world was meant to be a place where God could enter not and where His
W2:WIW.3  given them to seek. Their aim is to fulfill the purpose which the  world was made to witness and make real. They see in its illusions
W2:WIW.4  be given a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the  world. Follow His light and see the world as He beholds it. Hear His
W2:WIW.4  Whom God appointed Savior to the world. Follow His light and see the  world as He beholds it. Hear His Voice alone in all that speaks to
W2:WIW.5 Let us not rest content until the  world has joined our changed perception. Let us not be satisfied
W2:WIW.5  And let us not attempt to change our function. We must save the  world. For we who made it must behold it through the eyes of Christ,
W2:241.1  special celebration. For today holds out the instant to the darkened  world where its release is set. The day has come when sorrows pass
W2:241.1  away and pain is gone. The glory of salvation dawns today upon a  world set free. This is the time of hope for countless millions. They
W2:242.1 I will not lead my life alone today. I do not understand the  world. And so to try to lead my life alone must be but foolishness.
W2:245.2 And so we go in peace. To all the  world we give the message that we have received. And thus we come to
W2:249.1 Forgiveness paints a picture of a  world where suffering is over, loss becomes impossible, and anger
W2:249.1  What suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The  world becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving.
W2:252.1  Its strength comes not from burning impulses which move the  world but from the boundless Love of God Himself. How far beyond this
W2:252.1  but from the boundless Love of God Himself. How far beyond this  world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close to God!
W2:253.1  that anything should come to me unbidden by myself. Even in this  world, it is I who rule my destiny. What happens is what I desire.
W2:253.1  not want to happen. This must I accept. For thus am I led past this  world to my creations, children of my Will, in Heaven where my holy
W2:258.1  grace to shine in unawareness while the toys and trinkets of the  world are sought instead? God is our only goal, our only Love. We
W2:264.2  This is salvation's prayer. Must we not join in what will save the  world along with us?
W2:265.1 I have indeed misunderstood the  world because I laid my “sins” on it and saw them looking back at me.
W2:265.1  And how deceived was I to think that what I feared was in the  world instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the world in the
W2:265.1  feared was in the world instead of in my mind alone. Today I see the  world in the celestial gentleness with which creation shines. There
W2:265.1  appearance of my “sins” obscure the light of Heaven, shining on the  world. What is reflected here is in God's Mind. The images I see
W2:265.2 In quiet would I look upon the  world, which but reflects Your thoughts and mine as well. Let me
W2:266.2  has given us! How can we lose the way to Him, when He has filled the  world with those who point to Him and given us the sight to look on
W2:267.1  of forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the  world is given me. Each heartbeat brings me peace; each breath
W2:269.1  illusion which transcends all those I made. Today I choose to see a  world forgiven in which everyone shows me the face of Christ and
W2:270.1  all that the body's eyes behold into the sight of a forgiven  world. How glorious and gracious is this world! Yet how much more
W2:270.1  the sight of a forgiven world. How glorious and gracious is this  world! Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can give.
W2:270.1  Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can give. The  world forgiven signifies Your Son acknowledges his Father, lets his
W2:270.2  is our eyes today. And through His sight, we offer healing to the  world through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole, the holy Son
W2:WIC.4  appointed as the end of dreams. For when forgiveness rests upon the  world and peace has come to every Son of God, what could remain to
W2:271.1  witnesses to what is true in God's creation. In Christ's sight, the  world and God's creation meet, and as they come together, all
W2:271.1  together, all perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems the  world from death. For nothing that He looks on but must live,
W2:275.2  what to say to him, what thoughts to think, what words to give the  world. The safety that I bring is given me. Father, Your Voice
W2:278.1 If I accept that I am prisoner within a body in a  world in which all things that seem to live appear to die, then is my
W2:278.1  prisoner with me. And this do I believe when I maintain the laws the  world obeys must I obey—the frailties and the sins which I perceive
W2:282.1  could realize but this today, salvation would be reached for all the  world. This the decision not to be insane and to accept myself as God
W2:283.2  so we offer blessing to all things, uniting lovingly with all the  world, which our forgiveness has made one with us.
W2:289.1 Unless the past is over in my mind, the real  world must escape my sight. For I am really looking nowhere, seeing
W2:289.1  nowhere, seeing but what is not there. How can I then perceive the  world forgiveness offers? This the past was made to hide, for this
W2:289.1  forgiveness offers? This the past was made to hide, for this the  world that can be looked on only now. It has no past. For what can be
W2:289.2  not there. For You have offered me Your own replacement in a present  world the past has left untouched and free of sin. Here is the end of
W2:WIRW.1 The real  world is a symbol like the rest of what perception offers. Yet it
W2:WIRW.1  offers. Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you made. Your  world is seen through eyes of fear and brings the witnesses of terror
W2:WIRW.1  of fear and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The real  world cannot be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so
W2:WIRW.1  be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a  world where terror is impossible and witnesses to fear cannot be
W2:WIRW.2 The real  world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your
W2:WIRW.2  world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your  world, a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle
W2:WIRW.2  correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which your  world contains. The real world shows a world seen differently,
W2:WIRW.2  of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains. The real  world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a
W2:WIRW.2  sounds of battle which your world contains. The real world shows a  world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace.
W2:WIRW.3  to be condemned, and what is there that it would judge against? The  world it sees arises from a mind at peace within itself. No danger
W2:WIRW.4 The real  world is the symbol that the dream of sin and guilt is over and God's
W2:WIRW.4  his Father's Love, the certain promise that he is redeemed. The real  world signifies the end of time, for its perception makes time
W2:WIRW.5  our goal, for it contains the memory of God. And as we look upon a  world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us and comes to take us home,
W2:291.1  all things forgiven and at peace and offers this same vision to the  world. And I accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for
W2:291.1  And I accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for the  world as well. What loveliness we look upon today! What holiness we
W2:293.1  present state, whose Source is here forever and forever. Can the  world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming with all my past
W2:293.1  in the present, love is obvious and its effects apparent. All the  world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a world
W2:293.1  the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a  world forgiven at last.
W2:293.2 Father, let not Your holy  world escape my sight today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns
W2:293.2  today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the  world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. There is a real world
W2:293.2  the world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. There is a real  world which the present holds safe from all past mistakes. And I
W2:293.2  present holds safe from all past mistakes. And I would see only this  world before my eyes today.
W2:295.1 Christ asks that He may use my eyes today and thus redeem the  world. He asks this gift that He may offer peace of mind to me and
W2:295.1  as they are removed from me, the dreams that seemed to settle on the  world are gone. Redemption must be one. As I am saved, the world is
W2:295.1  on the world are gone. Redemption must be one. As I am saved, the  world is saved with me. For all of us must be redeemed together. Fear
W2:296.1 The Holy Spirit needs my voice today, that all the  world may listen to Your Voice and hear Your Word through me. I am
W2:296.1  apart from Yours, for only Yours are true. I would be savior to the  world I made. For having damned it, I would set it free that I may
W2:296.2  to rescue us from hell when we allow His teaching to persuade the  world through us to seek and find the easy path to God!
W2:297.1  who would be saved, would make it mine to be the way I live within a  world that needs salvation and that will be saved as I accept
W2:300.2 We seek Your holy  world today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our way a while. But
W2:300.2  to Heaven and our true Identity. And we give thanks today the  world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that tiny
W2:WISC.2  nature of Christ's Second Coming that permits it to embrace the  world and hold you safe within its gentle advent, which encompasses
W2:301.1  Nor can I suffer pain or feel I am abandoned and unneeded in the  world. This is my home because I judge it not. And therefore is it
W2:301.1  eyes forgiveness has released from all distortion. Let me see Your  world instead of mine. And all the tears I shed will be forgotten,
W2:301.1  forgotten, for their source is gone. Father, I will not judge Your  world today.
W2:301.2 God's  world is happy. Those who look on it can only add their joy to it and
W2:301.2  them. We wept because we did not understand. But we have learned the  world we saw was false, and we will look upon God's world today.
W2:301.2  have learned the world we saw was false, and we will look upon God's  world today.
W2:302.1 Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy  world awaits us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We
W2:302.1  for fear must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy  world today that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but
W2:304.1 I can obscure my holy sight if I intrude my  world upon it. Nor can I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon
W2:304.1  I look on is my state of mind reflected outward. I would bless the  world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will look
W2:304.2  sin to holiness. Let me forgive and thus receive salvation for the  world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son
W2:305.1  so deep and quiet, undisturbable and wholly changeless that the  world contains no counterpart. Comparisons are still before this
W2:305.1  no counterpart. Comparisons are still before this peace. And all the  world departs in silence as this peace envelops it and gently carries
W2:305.1  no more to be the home of fear. For Love has come and healed the  world by giving it Christ's peace.
W2:306.1  vision would I use today when it can offer me a day in which I see a  world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me? Today I
W2:306.1  Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me? Today I can forget the  world I made. Today I can go past all fear and be restored to love
W2:306.1  and holiness and peace. Today I am redeemed and born anew into a  world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace of God.
W2:308.1  a past or future. He has come to give His present blessing to the  world, restoring it to timelessness and love. And love is
W2:308.2  You have appointed for Your Son's release and for salvation of the  world in him.
W2:310.2 We spend this day together, you and I. And all the  world joins with us in our song of thankfulness and joy to Him Who
W2:WILJ.1  this the judgment is in which perception ends. At first you see a  world which has accepted this as true, projected from a now corrected
W2:WILJ.2 The final judgment on the  world contains no condemnation. For it sees the world as totally
W2:WILJ.2  judgment on the world contains no condemnation. For it sees the  world as totally forgiven, without sin and wholly purposeless.
W2:WILJ.2  there it ends as well. And all the figures in the dream in which the  world began go with it. Bodies now are useless and will therefore
W2:WILJ.3 You who believed that God's Last Judgment would condemn the  world to hell along with you, accept this holy truth: God's Judgment
W2:WILJ.4  Be not afraid of this. Salvation asks you give it welcome. And the  world awaits your glad acceptance, which will set it free.
W2:312.1  what you have chosen to behold. How surely, therefore, must the real  world come to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes the Holy
W2:312.2 I have no purpose for today except to look upon a liberated  world, set free from all the judgments I have made. Father, this is
W2:313.1  it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of Christ look on a  world forgiven. In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for He sees
W2:313.2  and how loving! Brother, come and join with me today. We save the  world when we are joined. For in our vision it becomes as holy as the
W2:314.1 From new perception of the  world there comes a future very different from the past. The future
W2:318.1  holy Son, are reconciled all parts of Heaven's plan to save the  world. What could conflict when all the parts have but one purpose
W2:318.1  placed in me. I was created as the thing I seek. I am the goal the  world is searching for. I am God's Son, His one Eternal Love. I am

Tx:5.94  in the usual sense because this implies guilt. If you allow  yourself to feel guilty, you will reinforce the error rather than
Tx:6.7  be persecuted. If you respond with anger, you must be equating  yourself with the destructible and are therefore regarding yourself

Tx:6.26  yourself first out of awareness and thus imagine that you have made  yourself safe.
Tx:6.28 The ego uses projection only to distort your perception both of  yourself and your brothers. The process begins by excluding something
Tx:6.29  is the one need which in this world is universal. To perceive  yourself this way is the only way in which you can find happiness in

Tx:6.32  You can no more pray for yourselves alone than you can find joy for  yourself alone. Prayer is the restatement of inclusion, directed by
Tx:6.53  a Guide to how to develop them, but you have no commander except  yourself. This leaves you in charge of the Kingdom with both a Guide
Tx:6.68 This is a very preliminary step, and the only one you must take for  yourself. It is not even necessary that you complete the step
Tx:6.68  for yourself. It is not even necessary that you complete the step  yourself, but it is necessary that you turn in that direction. Having
Tx:6.68  you turn in that direction. Having chosen to go that way, you place  yourself in charge of the journey, where you and only you must remain.
Tx:6.90  that you are without the Kingdom and have therefore excluded  yourself from it in your belief. It is therefore essential to teach
Tx:6.94  learn to accept truth, because you threw it away. You therefore saw  yourself as if you were without it. By making another Kingdom which
Tx:7.5  if God created you by extending Himself as you, you can only extend  yourself as He did. Only joy increases forever, since joy and

Tx:7.10 To heal, then, is to correct perception in your brother and  yourself by sharing the Holy Spirit with him. This places you both
Tx:7.26  see yourselves as separated from your meaning only by experiencing  yourself as unreal. This is why the ego is insane; it teaches that
Tx:7.28  as true. How is that different from saying that you are perceiving  yourself as unreal?
Tx:7.51  I am with you, and I cannot forget Him. To forget me is to forget  yourself and Him Who created you. Our brothers are forgetful. That is
Tx:7.71  to be subject to exclusion. You will never be able to exclude  yourself from what you project.

Tx:7.77  Do not share their delusions of scarcity, or you will perceive  yourself as lacking.
Tx:7.79  Projection always sees your will in others. If you will to separate  yourself from God, that is what you will think others are doing to
Tx:7.84  that it can free you of conflict, lest you give the ego up and free  yourself. The ego, using its own warped version of the laws of God,

Tx:8.35 The Holy Trinity is holy, because it is one. If you exclude  yourself from this union, you are perceiving the Holy Trinity as

Tx:8.48  contradiction in terms which actually leaves nothing. [You can make  yourself powerless only in a way that has no meaning at all.] When
Tx:8.49 There is no question but one you should ever ask of  yourself: “Do I want to know my Father's Will for me?” He will not
Tx:8.53  physical. When attack in any form enters your mind, you are equating  yourself with a body. This is the ego's interpretation of the body.
Tx:8.53  the idea of attack would have no appeal for you. When you equate  yourself with a body, you will always experience depression. When a
Tx:8.57  and so are yours. You have attacked him, but you must have attacked  yourself first. Do not see him this way for your own salvation, which
Tx:8.58  can perfectly accomplish His holy will for you when you so will it  yourself. He has not withdrawn His gifts from you, but you have
Tx:8.65  except a means of pure extension is to limit your mind and hurt  yourself. Health is therefore nothing more than united purpose. If
Tx:8.66  another as limited to or by the body, you are imposing this limit on  yourself. Are you willing to accept this, when your whole purpose for
Tx:8.67  with His purpose, and you need salvation. You have condemned  yourself, but condemnation is not of God. Therefore, it is not true.
Tx:8.67  brother as a body, you are condemning him because you have condemned  yourself. Yet if all condemnation is unreal, and it must be unreal
Tx:8.87  Yet you cannot withdraw from me alone. You can only withdraw from  yourself and me.
Tx:8.88  I give you no limits because God lays none upon you. When you limit  yourself, we are not of one mind and that is sickness. Yet sickness
Tx:8.103  If it was never created, it is nothing. Can you really devote  yourself to nothing?
Tx:8.105  depression, and ultimately panic, because you are trying to make  yourself unreal. When you feel these things, do not try to look
Tx:8.105  unreal. When you feel these things, do not try to look beyond  yourself for truth, for truth can only be within you. Say, therefore,
Tx:8.110  him and do not confound him, for your faith in him is your faith in  yourself. If you would know God and His Answer, believe in me whose
Tx:8.112  mind to his and answers you. You cannot hear the Voice for God in  yourself alone because you are not alone. And His answer is only for
Tx:8.114  way, you are looking for the truth in you. This is not going beyond  yourself but toward yourself. Hear only God's Answer in His Sons, and
Tx:8.114  for the truth in you. This is not going beyond yourself but toward  yourself. Hear only God's Answer in His Sons, and you are answered.
Tx:9.4  lack of correction for him. It is the giving up of correction in  yourself.
Tx:9.5  right as you are, and if you think he is wrong, you are condemning  yourself.
Tx:9.6 You cannot correct  yourself. Is it possible, then, for you to correct another? Yet you
Tx:9.6  Yet you can see him truly because it is possible for you to see  yourself truly. It is not up to you to change him but merely to
Tx:9.7  yours are of you. Accept his errors as real, and you have attacked  yourself. If you would find your way and keep it, see only truth
Tx:9.8  to Him! You do not know how to use it. He will teach you how to see  yourself without condemnation by learning how to look on everything
Tx:9.9  holds. Accept as true only what your brother is if you would know  yourself. Perceive what he is not, and you cannot know what you are,
Tx:9.12  no sense and will not work. By following it, you will merely place  yourself in an impossible situation to which the ego always leads
Tx:9.13  and begins to insist that you must accept the meaningless to save  yourself. Many have tried to do this in my name, forgetting that my
Tx:9.16  how appropriately can you expect him to react? You might still ask  yourself, regardless of how you can account for the reactions,
Tx:9.25  does or like the theologian, by acknowledging darkness in  yourself and looking for a distant light to remove it while
Tx:9.29 As you awaken other minds to the Holy Spirit through Him and not  yourself, you will understand that you are not obeying the laws of
Tx:9.31  react to you with joy even though you are not experiencing joy  yourself, there must be something in you that is capable of producing
Tx:9.31  that it does produce joy in others, you must be dissociating it in  yourself.
Tx:9.33  what you taught them. What you call upon in them, you call upon in  yourself. And as you call upon it in them, it becomes real to you.
Tx:9.33  what you do to my brother you do to me, and if you do everything for  yourself because we are part of you, everything we do belongs to you
Tx:9.34  learn of your wholeness until you see it everywhere. You can know  yourself only as God knows His Son, for knowledge is shared with God.
Tx:9.36  reality which you can recognize. You cannot perform a miracle for  yourself, because miracles are a way of giving acceptance and
Tx:9.38  salvation. Every minute and every second gives you a chance to save  yourself. Do not lose these chances, not because they will not
Tx:9.41 You, then, have two conflicting evaluations of  yourself in your minds, and they cannot both be true. You do not yet
Tx:9.42  with the ego's evaluation of what you are? If you are willing to see  yourself as unloving, you will not be happy. You are condemning
Tx:9.42  see yourself as unloving, you will not be happy. You are condemning  yourself and must therefore regard yourself as inadequate. Would you
Tx:9.42  not be happy. You are condemning yourself and must therefore regard  yourself as inadequate. Would you look to the ego to help you escape
Tx:9.49  and viciousness. It remains suspicious as long as you despair of  yourself. It shifts to viciousness whenever you will not tolerate
Tx:9.52  you hold it in your mind, protecting it from illusions and keeping  yourself in the Mind of God. Remember always that you cannot be
Tx:9.57  to them. You cannot replace the Kingdom, and you cannot replace  yourself. God, Who knows your value, would not have it so, and so it
Tx:9.57  value is in God's Mind and therefore not in yours alone. To accept  yourself as God created you cannot be arrogance, because it is the
Tx:9.57  is arrogant, because it means that you believe your evaluation of  yourself is truer than God's.
Tx:9.58 Yet if truth is indivisible, your evaluation of  yourself must be God's. You did not establish your value, and it
Tx:9.59 Nothing beyond  yourself can make you fearful or loving, because nothing is beyond
Tx:9.59  that anything which happens to you is caused by factors outside  yourself. You must learn that time is solely at your disposal, and
Tx:9.61  much is up to you. When anything threatens your peace of mind, ask  yourself,
Tx:9.63  for it is indeed changeless, and refuse to change your mind about  yourself. God will never decide against you, or He would be deciding
Tx:9.64  for God. The law of creation is that you love your creations as  yourself because they are part of you. Everything that was created is
Tx:9.69  your will to remember, for He retains the knowledge of God and of  yourself for you, waiting for your acceptance. Give up gladly
Tx:9.69  your remembering of Him, for in this remembering is the knowledge of  yourself.
Tx:9.71 When you attack, you are denying  yourself. You are specifically teaching yourself that you are not
Tx:9.71  you attack, you are denying yourself. You are specifically teaching  yourself that you are not what you are. Your denial of reality
Tx:9.71  part of God, you will understand why it is that you always attack  yourself first.
Tx:9.73  you will look at it. By deciding against your reality, you have made  yourself vigilant against God and His Kingdom. And it is this
Tx:9.74  No one can will to destroy himself. When you think you are attacking  yourself, it is a sure sign that you hate what you think you are. And
Tx:9.77  Would you strengthen his denial of God and thus lose sight of  yourself? Or would you remind him of his wholeness and remember your
Tx:9.79  but my love, for you do not value yourselves. When you do not value  yourself, you become sick, but my value of you can heal you because
Tx:9.82  listen to. You made the god of sickness, and by making him, you made  yourself able to hear him. Yet you did not create him, because he is
Tx:9.82  To accept other gods before Him is to place other images before  yourself.
Tx:9.84  brothers; in fact, you would have to do so if you give him up for  yourself. For if you see him anywhere, you have accepted him. And if
Tx:9.90  as what it is. No false gods you attempt to interpose between  yourself and your reality affect truth at all. Peace is yours because
Tx:9.94  result in projection, and you will believe that others, and not  yourself, have done this to you. You will receive the message you
Tx:9.95  not God-destructive. It means that you are willing not to know  yourself in order to be sick. This is the offering which your god
Tx:9.100  Being. You are not sick, and you cannot die. But you can confuse  yourself with things that do. Remember, though, that to do this is
Tx:9.101 If you will accept  yourself as God created you, you will be incapable of suffering. Yet
Tx:9.101  because your acknowledgment of your Father is the acknowledgment of  yourself as you are. Your Father created you wholly without sin,
Tx:9.102 You do not realize how much you have denied  yourself, and how much God in His love would not have it so. Yet He
Tx:9.102  to you in your creation, and His gifts are eternal. Would you deny  yourself to Him?
Tx:9.103  are not at home anywhere else or in any other condition. Do not deny  yourself the joy which was created for you for the misery you have
Tx:9.104  of his reality. And as part of the Sonship, that is how you must see  yourself to learn of yours.
Tx:9.105  and it is yours only because He has given it to you. Your gifts to  yourself are meaningless, but your gifts to your creations are like
Tx:9.106  fatherhood gave you everything. That is why to deny Him is to deny  yourself. Arrogance is the denial of love, because love shares and
Tx:10.5  anything else to the Sonship, recognizing your need of healing for  yourself? For in this lies the beginning of knowledge, the foundation
Tx:10.5  of the Mind of God's Son you restore this reality, you restore it to  yourself. For you dwell in the Mind of God with your brother, for God
Tx:10.6  and no endings in God, Whose universe is Himself. Can you exclude  yourself from the universe or from God, Who is the universe? I and my
Tx:10.13 The projection of the ego makes it appear as if God's Will is outside  yourself and therefore not yours. In this interpretation, it is
Tx:10.16  to unite your will with His, for He wills you Himself. And you will  yourself to Him because, in your perfect understanding of Him, you
Tx:10.17  you have than those who have been healed by it? But be sure to count  yourself among them, for in your willingness to join them is your
Tx:10.18 And denial is as total as love. You cannot deny part of  yourself because the remainder will seem to be unintegrated and
Tx:10.18  it. To deny meaning must be to fail to understand. You can heal only  yourself, for only God's Son needs healing. He needs it because he
Tx:10.20  enter, you lessen His welcome. He will remain, but you have allied  yourself against Him. Whatever journey you choose to take, He will go
Tx:10.23 When you are weary, remember you have hurt  yourself. Your Comforter will rest you, but you cannot. You do not
Tx:10.31  understanding is lost because you are looking on what God created as  yourself without love. And since what He created is part of Him, you
Tx:10.34 Only you can deprive  yourself of anything. Do not oppose this realization, for it is truly
Tx:10.35  part of you and you blame them for your deprivation, you are blaming  yourself. And you cannot blame yourself without blaming them. That is
Tx:10.35  for your deprivation, you are blaming yourself. And you cannot blame  yourself without blaming them. That is why blame must be undone, not
Tx:10.35  them. That is why blame must be undone, not re-allocated. Lay it to  yourself and you cannot know yourself, for only the ego blames at
Tx:10.35  be undone, not re-allocated. Lay it to yourself and you cannot know  yourself, for only the ego blames at all. Self-blame is therefore ego
Tx:10.36  be unable to enter the place where God would have you be. But love  yourself with the love of Christ, for so does your Father love you.
Tx:10.37  appreciation of His Son. Christ waits for your acceptance of Him as  yourself and of His wholeness as yours. For Christ is the Son of God
Tx:10.47  continue if you realize that, by accepting it, you are belittling  yourself and depriving yourself of power?
Tx:10.47  that, by accepting it, you are belittling yourself and depriving  yourself of power?
Tx:10.48 The ego can and does allow you to regard  yourself as supercilious, unbelieving, “light-hearted,” distant,
Tx:10.49  cannot minimize it. For if you overlook love, you are overlooking  yourself, and you must fear unreality because you have denied
Tx:10.49  yourself, and you must fear unreality because you have denied  yourself. By believing that you have successfully attacked truth, you
Tx:10.49  that attack has power. Very simply, then, you have become afraid of  yourself. And no one wills to learn what he believes would destroy
Tx:10.62  you, then, perceive unworthiness in a brother and not perceive it in  yourself? And can you perceive it in yourself and not perceive it in
Tx:10.62  brother and not perceive it in yourself? And can you perceive it in  yourself and not perceive it in God? Believe in the resurrection
Tx:10.62  God, which knows no time and no exceptions. But make no exceptions  yourself, or you will not perceive what has been accomplished for
Tx:10.66 You have nailed  yourself to a cross and placed a crown of thorns upon your own head.
Tx:10.73  that you can perceive the real world is to believe that you can know  yourself. You can know God because it is His Will to be known. The
Tx:10.76  on your willingness to question everything you have learned of  yourself, for you who have learned amiss should not be your own
Tx:10.77  for what is yours but which you did not make, and do not defend  yourself against truth. You made the problem which God has answered.
Tx:10.82  but the real world is still yours for the asking. Do not deny it to  yourself, for it can only free you. Nothing of God will enslave His
Tx:10.84  Be not deceived in God's Son, for thereby you must be deceived in  yourself. And being deceived in yourself, you are deceived in your
Tx:10.84  for thereby you must be deceived in yourself. And being deceived in  yourself, you are deceived in your Father in Whom no deceit is
Tx:10.86  real world as you share Heaven, and his healing is yours. To love  yourself is to heal yourself, and you cannot perceive part of you as
Tx:10.86  share Heaven, and his healing is yours. To love yourself is to heal  yourself, and you cannot perceive part of you as sick and achieve
Tx:10.87  in Him. If what you perceive offends you, you are offended in  yourself and are condemning God's Son, whom God condemneth not. Let
Tx:10.89  frightened. It is not the reality of your brothers or your Father or  yourself which frightens you. You do not know what they are, and so
Tx:10.90  For if God is not deceived in you, you can be deceived only in  yourself. Yet you can learn the truth of yourself of the Holy Spirit,
Tx:10.90  you can be deceived only in yourself. Yet you can learn the truth of  yourself of the Holy Spirit, who will teach you that, as part of God,
Tx:10.90  that, as part of God, deceit in you is impossible. When you perceive  yourself without deceit, you will accept the real world in place of
Tx:11.4  for your unwillingness to perceive reality, which you withhold from  yourself.
Tx:11.8  help you are asking for it, and if you perceive but one need in  yourself, you will be healed. For you will recognize God's answer as
Tx:11.11  the loss, the basic cause of fear is removed. Thereby you teach  yourself that fear does not exist in you, for you have in yourself
Tx:11.11  you teach yourself that fear does not exist in you, for you have in  yourself the means for removing it and have demonstrated this by
Tx:11.15  forgotten. To perceive the healing of your brother as the healing of  yourself is thus the way to remember God. For you forgot your
Tx:11.16  love. And to give a brother what he really wants is to offer it unto  yourself, for your Father wills you to know your brother as yourself.
Tx:11.16  it unto yourself, for your Father wills you to know your brother as  yourself. Answer his call for love and yours is answered. Healing is
Tx:11.23  to Him that is not of God is gone. Yet you must reveal it to  yourself in perfect willingness, for otherwise His knowledge remains
Tx:11.27  you. Why would you insist in denying him? For to do so is to deny  yourself and impoverish both. He is asking for salvation, as you are.
Tx:11.28  this is the only answer. Never lose sight of this, and never allow  yourself to believe even for an instant that there is another answer.
Tx:11.28  an instant that there is another answer. For you will surely place  yourself among the poor, who do not understand that they dwell in
Tx:11.29 To identify with the ego is to attack  yourself and make yourself poor. That is why everyone who identifies
Tx:11.29 To identify with the ego is to attack yourself and make  yourself poor. That is why everyone who identifies with the ego feels
Tx:11.34  maker along with his real salvation. Do not believe it is outside of  yourself, for only by recognizing where it is will you gain control
Tx:11.40  whether you know where it is or not. If you believe it is outside  yourself, the search will be futile, for you will be seeking it where
Tx:11.40  be seeking it where it is not. You do not know how to look within  yourself, for you do not believe your home is there. Yet the Holy
Tx:11.43  the idea of attack can enter your mind, you must have perceived  yourself as weak. Because you had attacked yourself and believed that
Tx:11.43  you must have perceived yourself as weak. Because you had attacked  yourself and believed that the attack was effective, you behold
Tx:11.43  yourself and believed that the attack was effective, you behold  yourself as weakened. No longer perceiving yourself and all your
Tx:11.43  was effective, you behold yourself as weakened. No longer perceiving  yourself and all your brothers as equal and regarding yourself as
Tx:11.43  perceiving yourself and all your brothers as equal and regarding  yourself as weaker, you attempt to “equalize” the situation you have
Tx:11.44  recognizing that attack has no effect. Although you have attacked  yourself, and very brutally, you will demonstrate that nothing
Tx:11.44  invulnerability has more than negative value. If your attacks on  yourself have failed to weaken you, you are still strong. You
Tx:11.45  uselessness of attack except by recognizing that your attack on  yourself had no effects. For others do react to attack if they
Tx:11.45  The only place where you can cancel out all reinforcement is in  yourself. For you are always the first point of your attack, and if
Tx:11.47  your limited resources. He becomes your resource because, of  yourself, you cannot learn. The learning situation in which you
Tx:11.47  you cannot learn. The learning situation in which you placed  yourself is impossible, and in this situation you clearly require a
Tx:11.50  have chosen is against love and amounts to a course in how to attack  yourself. A necessary minor, supplementing this major curriculum
Tx:11.51  do not will should take heart, for although the curriculum you set  yourself is depressing indeed, it is merely ridiculous if you look at
Tx:11.53  To invest in something without profit is surely to impoverish  yourself, and the overhead is high. Not only is there no profit in
Tx:11.55  the projection of loving thoughts outward. Make the world real unto  yourself, for the real world is the gift of the Holy Spirit, and so
Tx:11.61  whole, and the Atonement will radiate from your acceptance of it for  yourself to everyone the Holy Spirit sends you for your blessing. In
Tx:11.67  his witnesses. This is why you find what you seek. What you want in  yourself, you will make manifest by projection, and you will accept
Tx:11.70  within and thought you saw the power to give something else within  yourself. It was only this decision that determined what you found,
Tx:11.74  look without and react unfavorably to what you see, you have judged  yourself unworthy and have condemned yourself to death. The death
Tx:11.74  what you see, you have judged yourself unworthy and have condemned  yourself to death. The death penalty is the ego's ultimate goal, for
Tx:11.75  that death comes from God and not from the ego because, by confusing  yourself with the ego, you believe that you want death. And from what
Tx:11.76  will never see death. For you will have looked upon the deathless in  yourself, and you will see only the eternal as you look out upon a
Tx:11.80  you have not heard is the only answer. God would reunite you with  yourself and did not abandon you in your seeming distress. You are
Tx:11.94  projecting separation in place of unity. You can condemn only  yourself, and by so doing, you cannot know that you are God's Son.
Tx:11.99 The ego teaches you to attack  yourself because you are guilty, and this must increase the guilt,
Tx:11.99  he knows this is true. And being true for you, you cannot attack  yourself, for without guilt, attack is impossible. You, then, are
Tx:12.2  you are no longer you, you do not realize that you are failing  yourself.
Tx:12.5  and you are afraid to find him. You have handled this wish to kill  yourself by not knowing who you are and identifying with something
Tx:12.7  then, believe that by not learning the course, you are protecting  yourself. And you do not realize that it is only your guiltlessness
Tx:12.8  it for you, you have rejected it and have not accepted it for  yourself. You have recognized the futility of the ego and its
Tx:12.8  fear. For you believe that in the presence of truth you will turn on  yourself and destroy yourself.
Tx:12.8  that in the presence of truth you will turn on yourself and destroy  yourself.
Tx:12.10  you and dispel it, without the need for you to raise it to awareness  yourself. Yet there is one more complication which you have
Tx:12.10  Yet there is one more complication which you have interposed between  yourself and the Atonement, which you do not yet realize. We have
Tx:12.11  if you did not believe that, without the ego, you would find within  yourself something you fear even more. You are not afraid of
Tx:12.14  think you would be helpless in God's Presence, and you would save  yourself from His love because you think it would crush you into
Tx:12.14  you into nothingness. You are afraid it would sweep you away from  yourself and make you little. For you believe that magnitude lies in
Tx:12.19  your mind where the Holy Spirit is not welcome. And you will exempt  yourself from His healing power, for by not offering total love, you
Tx:12.27  past because, by making it real in the present, you are forbidding  yourself to let it go. You thus deny yourself the message of release
Tx:12.27  the present, you are forbidding yourself to let it go. You thus deny  yourself the message of release that every brother offers you now.
Tx:12.29  from your sight. The Holy Spirit teaches that you always meet  yourself and the encounter is holy because you are. The ego teaches
Tx:12.35  in their own private world. And thus it is that you must attack  yourself first, for what you attack is not in others. Its only
Tx:12.37  it. Yet fear attracts you, and believing it is love, you call it to  yourself. Your private world is filled with the figures of fear you
Tx:12.38  And the vision of Christ is not in your sight, for you look upon  yourself alone.
Tx:12.39  would you offer this to your Father? For if you offer it to  yourself, you are offering it to Him. And He will not return it, for
Tx:12.39  set you free. His sane answer tells you that what you have offered  yourself is not true, but His offering to you has never changed. You
Tx:12.40  see all that you denied in your brothers because you denied it in  yourself. For you will love them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you
Tx:12.40  will love them, and by drawing nigh unto them, you will draw them to  yourself, perceiving them as witnesses to your reality, which you
Tx:12.45  and cherish instead of him. In your questioning of illusions, ask  yourself if it is really sane to perceive what was now. If you
Tx:12.56  to you. In sleep you are alone, and your awareness is narrowed to  yourself. And that is why the nightmares come. You dream of isolation
Tx:12.58 Sit quietly and look upon the world you see, and tell  yourself,
Tx:12.63 You have been wrong about the world because you have misjudged  yourself. From such a twisted reference point what could you see? All
Tx:12.64  company and learned of Him the joyful journey home. You wait but for  yourself. To give this sad world over and exchange your errors for
Tx:12.66  that is wholly true and wholly yours. For all else you have lent  yourself in time, and it will fade. But this one thing is always
Tx:12.68  do need things because it is a world of scarcity in which you find  yourself because you are lacking. Yet can you find yourself in such a
Tx:12.68  in which you find yourself because you are lacking. Yet can you find  yourself in such a world? Without the Holy Spirit, the answer would
Tx:12.69  yourselves what you need, for you do not know and your advice unto  yourself will hurt you. For what you think you need will merely serve
Tx:12.75  together. The Holy Spirit will teach you to awaken unto us and to  yourself. This is the only real need to be fulfilled in time.
Tx:13.8 When you have seen your brothers as  yourself, you will be released to knowledge, having learned to free
Tx:13.8  yourself, you will be released to knowledge, having learned to free  yourself of Him Who knows of freedom. Unite with me under the holy
Tx:13.8  in the eternity of God the Father. The holy light you saw outside  yourself in every miracle you offered to your brothers will be
Tx:13.12  obeying the ego's harsh commandments, you bring its condemnation of  yourself, and you will not escape the punishment it offers those who
Tx:13.15  love. Nothing can justify insanity, and to call for punishment upon  yourself must be insane.
Tx:13.16  then, as guilty, and you will affirm the truth of guiltlessness unto  yourself. In every condemnation that you offer the Son of God lies
Tx:13.24  to the Atonement. When everyone is welcome to you as you would have  yourself be welcome to your Father, you will see no guilt in you. For
Tx:13.32  him. For in our love of him is your guiltlessness. But look upon  yourself, and gladness and appreciation for what you see will banish
Tx:13.43  you will learn how to save. It will not be possible to exempt  yourself from what the Holy Spirit wills to teach you. Salvation is
Tx:13.48  have not. If, then, you offer blessing, it must have come first to  yourself. And you must also have accepted it as yours, for how else
Tx:13.49  forgiveness, you must have let guilt go, accepting the Atonement for  yourself and learning you are guiltless. How could you learn what has
Tx:13.52  Anything you deny which He knows to be true, you have denied  yourself, and He must therefore teach you not to deny it. Undoing is
Tx:13.66  your happiness and will not learn how to be happy. Say therefore to  yourself gently, but with the conviction born of the love of God and
Tx:13.71  can, you teach him that the Atonement, which you have accepted for  yourself, is also his. There is nothing to forgive. No one can hurt
Tx:13.72  not of Him. Teach no one he has hurt you, for if you do, you teach  yourself that what is not of God has power over you. The causeless
Tx:13.73 Whenever you decide to make decisions for  yourself, you are thinking destructively, and the decision will be
Tx:13.73  which led to it. It is not true that you can make decisions by  yourself or for yourself alone. No thought of God's Son can be
Tx:13.73  to it. It is not true that you can make decisions by yourself or for  yourself alone. No thought of God's Son can be separate or isolated
Tx:13.75 It will never happen that you will have to make decisions for  yourself. You are not bereft of help, and Help that knows the answer.
Tx:13.75  you be content with little, which is all that you alone can offer  yourself, when He Who gives you everything will simply offer it to
Tx:13.76  deny the truth of God's decision and place your pitiful appraisal of  yourself in place of His calm and unswerving value of His Son?
Tx:13.80  everyone who struggles in the dark. For you decide for them and for  yourself.
Tx:13.81  love is given equally to all alike! He leaves you no one outside  yourself, alone without you. And so He gives you what is yours
Tx:13.81  any way by the decision. And everyone will be. Would you take unto  yourself the sole responsibility for deciding what can bring only
Tx:13.82  with Him and with everything that is within Him, as it is within  yourself. Unlearn isolation through His loving guidance and learn of
Tx:13.83  in doubt what you should do, think of His Presence in you and tell  yourself this and only this:
Tx:13.90 Decide that God is right and you are wrong about  yourself. He created you out of Himself but still within Him. He
Tx:13.90  and deceit, for thus are darkness and deceit undone. Fail not  yourself, but instead offer to God and you His blameless Son. For
Tx:13.91 Before you make any decisions for  yourself, remember that you have decided against your function in
Tx:13.91  So will He teach you to remove the awful burden you have laid upon  yourself by loving not the Son of God and trying to teach him guilt
Tx:14.7  extension of perfect purity. Your only calling here is to devote  yourself with active willingness to the denial of guilt in all its
Tx:14.11  No one can be untouched by teaching such as this. You will not see  yourself beyond the power of God if you teach only this. You will not
Tx:14.29  Leave that to Him Who knows. You are not asked to do mighty tasks  yourself. You are merely asked to do the little He suggests you do,
Tx:14.55  you are not alone and willing to remember it. Take no thought for  yourself, for no thought you hold is for yourself. If you would
Tx:14.55  it. Take no thought for yourself, for no thought you hold is for  yourself. If you would remember your Father, let the Holy Spirit
Tx:14.64  When your peace is threatened or disturbed in any way, say to  yourself,
Tx:14.66 By this refusal to attempt to teach  yourself what you do not know, the Guide Whom God has given you will
Tx:14.68  so firmly bound to guilt and committed so to remain, establish for  yourself your guiltlessness? That is impossible. But be sure that you
Tx:14.75  they could not be of you. Leave room for Him, and you will find  yourself so filled with power that nothing will prevail against your
Tx:15.11  there is no change in God. In the holy instant in which you see  yourself as bright with freedom, you will remember God. For
Tx:15.12  of how long it would take to change your mind so completely, ask  yourself, “How long is an instant?” Could you not give so short a
Tx:15.14  perfect peace, and perfect love for everyone, for God, and for  yourself. As long as it takes to remember immortality and your
Tx:15.21  and begin to experience it as timeless, is to begin to experience  yourself as not separate. Fear not that you will not be given help in
Tx:15.22  could never be content with it. Littleness is the offering you gave  yourself. You offered this in place of magnitude, and you accepted
Tx:15.22  with the belief that it will bring you peace, you are belittling  yourself and blinding yourself to glory. Littleness and glory are the
Tx:15.22  it will bring you peace, you are belittling yourself and blinding  yourself to glory. Littleness and glory are the choices open to your
Tx:15.23  each time you choose is that your choice is your evaluation of  yourself. Choose littleness and you will not have peace, for you will
Tx:15.23  littleness and you will not have peace, for you will have judged  yourself unworthy of it. And whatever you offer as a substitute is
Tx:15.24 There is a deep responsibility you owe  yourself, and one which you must learn to remember all the time. The
Tx:15.24  what you think you are and represents the value that you put upon  yourself. Believe the little can content you, and by limiting
Tx:15.24  upon yourself. Believe the little can content you, and by limiting  yourself, you will not be satisfied. For your function is not little,
Tx:15.26  make on behalf of His dear Son. Search for the little, and you deny  yourself His power. God is not willing that His Son be content with
Tx:15.28  can be content with littleness are the decisions you have made about  yourself. The power and the glory that lie in you from God are for
Tx:15.30  Before the greatness that lives in you, your poor appreciation of  yourself and all the little offerings you have given slip into
Tx:15.31 Remember that you learn not for  yourself alone, no more than I did. It is because I learned for you
Tx:15.32  are complete, in need of nothing, and unable to accept anything for  yourself. But you will gladly give, having received. The host of God
Tx:15.33  to the plan of God and unwilling to attempt to grasp for peace  yourself, salvation will be given you. Yet think not you can
Tx:15.38  that you alone cannot know where it is and can only deceive  yourself.
Tx:15.41  would not share and that salvation lies in keeping your thoughts to  yourself alone. For in private thoughts, known only to yourself, you
Tx:15.41  thoughts to yourself alone. For in private thoughts, known only to  yourself, you think you find a way to keep what you would have alone
Tx:15.43  to accept perfect communication as long as you would hide it from  yourself. For what you would hide is hidden from you.
Tx:15.44  deception and seek not to protect the thoughts you would keep unto  yourself. Let the Holy Spirit's purity shine them away and bring all
Tx:15.46  you are alone. To be alone is to be guilty. For to experience  yourself as alone is to deny the oneness of the Father and his Son
Tx:15.50  but you have also judged against both. Yet you had judged against  yourself first, or you would never have imagined that you needed them
Tx:15.50  imagined that you needed them as they were not. Unless you had seen  yourself as without love, you could not have judged them so like you
Tx:15.52  the values from the past, you would see them all the same and like  yourself. Nor would you see any separation between yourself and them.
Tx:15.52  the same and like yourself. Nor would you see any separation between  yourself and them. In the holy instant, you see in each relationship
Tx:15.56  ability to satisfy you completely arises only from perfect faith in  yourself. And this you cannot have while guilt remains. And there
Tx:15.57 You have so little faith in  yourself because you are unwilling to accept the fact that perfect
Tx:15.58  and what you gain he loses. Someone must always lose if you perceive  yourself as weak. Yet there is another interpretation of
Tx:15.59  that, like your Father, you are an idea. And like Him, you can give  yourself completely, wholly without loss, and only with gain.
Tx:15.63  idea of peace, for in ideas minds can communicate. If you would give  yourself as your Father gives His Self, you will learn to understand
Tx:15.68  to but one insane belief—that the more anger you invest outside  yourself, the safer you become.
Tx:15.75  with you while you believe that to communicate is to make  yourself alone? It is clearly insane to believe that by communicating
Tx:15.78  makes you His in your awareness. And here it is that you experience  yourself as you were created and as you are.
Tx:15.93  of receiving sacrifice as God is, and every sacrifice you ask of  yourself, you ask of me. Learn now that sacrifice of any kind is
Tx:15.99 You think that everyone outside  yourself demands your sacrifice, but you do not see that only you
Tx:15.99  but you do not see that only you demand sacrifice and only of  yourself. Yet the demand of sacrifice is so savage and so fearful
Tx:15.100  to understand. Do not try to project it from you and see it outside  yourself. In you are both the question and the answer—the demand
Tx:15.101  solely of your making. And seek not safety by attempting to protect  yourself from where it is not. Your brothers and your Father have
Tx:15.102  sign of Christmas is a star, a light in darkness. See it not outside  yourself but shining in the Heaven within and accept it as the sign
Tx:15.103  Christmas, give the Holy Spirit everything that would hurt you. Let  yourself be healed completely that you may join with Him in healing,
Tx:15.104  God. Through guilt you exclude your Father and your brothers from  yourself. Through peace you invite them back and realize that they
Tx:15.104  they are where your invitation bids them be. What you excluded from  yourself seems fearful, for you endowed it with fear and tried to
Tx:15.105  as you perceive the body as your reality, so long will you perceive  yourself as lonely and deprived. And so long will you also perceive
Tx:15.105  yourself as lonely and deprived. And so long will you also perceive  yourself as a victim of sacrifice, justified in sacrificing others.
Tx:15.106  recognize it. The meaning of love lies in what you have cast outside  yourself, and it has no meaning at all apart from you. It is what you
Tx:16.11  another way in which you would still try to keep understanding to  yourself. A better and far more helpful way to think of miracles is
Tx:16.19  you, nor will you ever do so. You have never tried to solve anything  yourself and been successful. Is it not time you brought these facts
Tx:16.22  and they shall know themselves.” For it is certain that you judge  yourself according to your teaching. The ego's teaching produces
Tx:16.22  your choice. And this acceptance means that you are willing to judge  yourself accordingly. Cause and effect are very clear in the ego's
Tx:16.22  And would you not have faith in what you have so diligently taught  yourself to believe? Yet remember how much care you have exerted in
Tx:16.23  Sonship as one? And does it not also show you that you do not regard  yourself as one? For it is impossible to teach successfully wholly
Tx:16.23  you did believe in it. And it must be that what you taught came from  yourself. And yet, this Self you clearly do not know and do not
Tx:16.24 This is a course in how to know  yourself. You have taught what you are but have not let what you are
Tx:16.24  be that has not learned it? It must be this that is really outside  yourself, not by your own projection, but in truth. And it is this
Tx:16.24  between truth and illusion can only be resolved by separating  yourself from the illusion and not from truth.
Tx:16.25  to you for their creation they offer gladly to your teaching of  yourself, who is their home. You who are host to God are also host to
Tx:16.26  have taught this, and from far off in the universe, yet not beyond  yourself, the witnesses to your teaching have gathered to help you
Tx:16.26  and apart from it. But with them you must learn that you but taught  yourself and learned from the conviction you shared with them.
Tx:16.31  through this last undoing quite unharmed and will at last emerge as  yourself. This is the last step in the readiness for God. Be not
Tx:16.35  seek for love but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within  yourself which you have built against it. It is not necessary to seek
Tx:16.35  from one illusion into another must fail. If you seek love outside  yourself, you can be certain that you perceive hatred within and are
Tx:16.39 The bridge that leads to union in  yourself must lead to knowledge, for it was built with God beside you
Tx:16.54  evident impossibility? For if it were possible, you would have made  yourself helpless. God is not angry. He merely could not let this
Tx:16.56  And to the same extent you are denying truth, and so are making  yourself unable to make the simple choice between truth and illusion,
Tx:16.57  And unless love's meaning is restored to you, you cannot know  yourself, who shares its meaning. Separation is only the decision not
Tx:16.57  who shares its meaning. Separation is only the decision not to know  yourself. Its whole thought system is a carefully contrived learning
Tx:16.59 The search for the special relationship is the sign that you equate  yourself with the ego and not with God. For the special relationship
Tx:16.60 Love is freedom. To look for it by placing  yourself in bondage is to separate yourself from it. For the love of
Tx:16.60  To look for it by placing yourself in bondage is to separate  yourself from it. For the love of God, no longer seek for union in
Tx:16.66  will abide with you. Your love for it will not allow you to betray  yourself, and you could not enter into a relationship where it could
Tx:16.74  is that the special relationship is the acting out of vengeance on  yourself. But what else could it be? In seeking the special
Tx:16.74  be? In seeking the special relationship, you look not for glory in  yourself. You have denied that it is there, and the relationship
Tx:17.3  must do to your appreciation of the whole! What you reserve unto  yourself, you take away from Him Who would release you. Unless you
Tx:17.6  to solve his problems through fantasy, you are refusing to forgive  yourself for just this same attempt. And you are holding both of you
Tx:17.7  He was created to see this for you until you learn to see it for  yourself. And all His teaching leads to seeing it and giving thanks
Tx:17.15  witness will enable you to think guiltily of another and not harm  yourself. They speak so clearly for the separation that no one not
Tx:17.16  as their purpose the exclusion of the truth about the other and of  yourself. This is why you see in both what is not there and make of
Tx:17.54  result, you do not realize that it is with you still. And by cutting  yourself off from its expression, you have denied yourself its
Tx:17.54  And by cutting yourself off from its expression, you have denied  yourself its benefit. You reinforce this every time you attack each
Tx:17.54  every time you attack each other, for the attack must blind you to  yourself. And it is impossible to deny yourself and recognize what
Tx:17.54  the attack must blind you to yourself. And it is impossible to deny  yourself and recognize what has been given and received by you.
Tx:17.64  To remove the problem elsewhere is to keep it. For you remove  yourself from it and make it unsolvable.
Tx:17.65  that all your problems have been solved, but you have removed  yourself from the solution? Yet faith must be where something has
Tx:17.68 Every situation in which you find  yourself is but a means to meet the purpose set for your
Tx:17.71  in every aspect and complete in every part. You can leave nothing of  yourself outside it and keep the situation holy. For it shares the
Tx:17.78  His faithlessness did this to him. Think carefully before you let  yourself use faithlessness against him. For he is risen, and you have
Tx:18.8  gently by the hand and retraces with you your mad journey outside  yourself, leading you gently back to the truth and safety within. He
Tx:18.14  outraged by the “attack.” This would not be your wish unless you saw  yourself as one with the ego, which always looks upon itself and
Tx:18.19  is your determination to keep your hold on unreality and to prevent  yourself from waking. And while you see more value in sleeping than
Tx:18.33  it is. And in your willingness for this lies also your acceptance of  yourself as you were meant to be.
Tx:18.34  it. And what is this but the determination to be as you would make  yourself? God did not create His dwelling-place unworthy of Him. And
Tx:18.35  Will. You have been wrong in thinking that it is needful to prepare  yourself for Him. It is impossible to make arrogant preparations for
Tx:18.35  nor can you make him different. Would you first make a miracle  yourself and then expect one to be made for you?
Tx:18.36  is given. In preparing for the holy instant, do not attempt to make  yourself holy to be ready to receive it. That is but to confuse your
Tx:18.36  is of God alone and therefore for you. Rather than seek to prepare  yourself for Him, try to think thus:
Tx:18.38  fearful. And it is only fear that you will add if you prepare  yourself for love. The preparation for the holy instant belongs to
Tx:18.41  fear to happy dreams from which you waken easily to knowledge. Put  yourself not in charge of this, for you cannot distinguish between
Tx:18.45 It is no dream to love your brother as  yourself. Nor is your holy relationship a dream. All that remains of
Tx:18.50  belief that you could give and get something else, something outside  yourself, has cost you the awareness of Heaven and the loss of your
Tx:18.55  The minds are joined, but you do not identify with them. You see  yourself locked in a separate prison, removed and unreachable,
Tx:18.56  you set aside to house your hate is not a prison but an illusion of  yourself. The body is a limit imposed on the universal communication
Tx:18.57  without alternative. And so it is. You cannot put a barrier around  yourself because God placed none between Himself and you.
Tx:18.59  realize that it is a sudden unawareness of the body and a joining of  yourself and something else in which your mind enlarges to encompass
Tx:18.59  it. You have accepted this instead of the body and have let  yourself be one with something beyond it simply by not letting your
Tx:18.62  irresistible appeal the holy instant holds. It calls to you to be  yourself within its safe embrace. There are the laws of limit lifted
Tx:18.62  of mind and freedom. Come to this place of refuge, where you can be  yourself in peace. Not through destruction, not through a “breaking
Tx:18.71  was made to limit you. Can you who see yourselves within a body know  yourself as an idea? Everything you recognize you identify with
Tx:18.77 Do not accept this little fenced-off aspect as  yourself. The sun and ocean are as nothing beside what you are. The
Tx:18.80  locked away from love and leaving you inside. And you will recognize  yourself and see your little garden gently transformed into the
Tx:18.84  must be corrected at its source. Therefore, it is the tiny part of  yourself, the little thought that seems split off and separate, which
Tx:18.92  no more impenetrable and no more substantial. You will not bruise  yourself against them in traveling through. Let your Guide teach you
Tx:19.6 Both cannot be together nor perceived in the same place. To dedicate  yourself to both is to set up a goal forever impossible to attain,
Tx:19.10  is to heal. It is the sign that you have accepted the Atonement for  yourself and would therefore share it. By faith you offer the gift of
Tx:19.11  loving Father, loved by Him like you and therefore loved by you as  yourself. It is His love that joins you, and for His love you would
Tx:19.24  to be sinful than mistaken. Yet think you carefully before you allow  yourself to make this choice. Approach it not lightly, for it is the
Tx:19.36  separate, but your Redeemer would have you look upon each other as  yourself. Your relationship is now a temple of healing—a place
Tx:19.58 To think you could be satisfied and happy with so little is to hurt  yourself, and to limit the happiness that you would have calls upon
Tx:19.65  end of guilt, remembering that what I signify to you, you see within  yourself?
Tx:19.71  really punitive at all. It is but the inevitable result of equating  yourself with the body, which is the invitation to pain. For it
Tx:19.74  that for your message of attack and guilt will someone other than  yourself suffer. And even if you suffer, yet someone else will suffer
Tx:19.74  peace, it urges you to send out all your messages of hate and free  yourself. And to convince you this is possible, it bids the body
Tx:19.101  is very fearful. And you attack him still, to keep what seems to be  yourself unharmed. Yet in his hands is your salvation. You see his
Tx:20.7  their own. Here is the value that you lay upon your brother and on  yourself. Here is your gift to both; your judgment on the Son of God
Tx:20.7  Offer him thorns and you are crucified. Offer him lilies and it is  yourself you free.
Tx:20.18  adjust to it, and it to you. Nor is there any difference between  yourself and it in your perception, which made them both.
Tx:20.19  this up. It is a picture of what you think you are, of how you see  yourself. A murderer is frightened, and those who kill fear death.
Tx:20.20  look through happy eyes? The world you see is but a judgment on  yourself. It is not there at all. Yet judgment lays a sentence on it,
Tx:20.20  it, and makes it real. Such is the world you see—a judgment on  yourself and made by you. This sickly picture of yourself is
Tx:20.20  see—a judgment on yourself and made by you. This sickly picture of  yourself is carefully preserved by the ego, whose image it is and
Tx:20.35  way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems impossible to you. But ask  yourself if it is possible that God would have a plan for your
Tx:20.65  achieve its purpose through the means of sin? Judgment you taught  yourself; vision is learned from Him Who would undo your teaching.
Tx:20.74  you did this. Once you accept this simple fact and take unto  yourself the power you gave them, you are released from them. One
Tx:21.2 Damnation is your judgment on  yourself, and this you will project upon the world. See it as damned,
Tx:21.2  [The world you see but shows you how much joy you have allowed  yourself to see in you and to accept as yours. And if this is its
Tx:21.9  you knew so long ago and held more dear than any melody you taught  yourself to cherish since.
Tx:21.16 Deceive  yourself no longer that you are helpless in the face of what is done
Tx:21.17  you offer to the Holy Spirit, and even this He gave to you to give  yourself. For by this gift is given you the power to release your
Tx:21.19  testimony, and as it gave it back to you, you listened and convinced  yourself that what it saw was true. You did this to yourself. See
Tx:21.19  and convinced yourself that what it saw was true. You did this to  yourself. See only this, and you will also see how circular the
Tx:21.19  you look upon the change in him, it will be given you to see it in  yourself.
Tx:21.26  made the world you see as that you recognize that you did not create  yourself. They are the same mistake. Nothing created not by your
Tx:21.26  to do so, you are denying your Creator and believing that you made  yourself. For if you think the world you made has power to make you
Tx:21.29  bargain in the name of “fairness,” sometimes demanding payment of  yourself, perhaps more often of the other. Thus in the “fairness” you
Tx:21.50  and see what it directs you see, and it is sure that you will see  yourself as tiny, vulnerable, and afraid. You will experience
Tx:21.59  If it can correct and you allow it not to do so, you deny it to  yourself and to your brother. And if he shares this same belief, you
Tx:21.59  both will think that you are damned. This you could spare him and  yourself. For reason would not make way for correction in you alone.
Tx:21.60  it can. Yet reason tells you that you cannot see your brother or  yourself as sinful and still perceive the other innocent. Who looks
Tx:21.62  the body against your reason, you will not understand the body or  yourself.
Tx:21.64  tell you that this fact is your release. Neither your brother nor  yourself can be attacked alone. But neither can accept a miracle
Tx:21.65  of his errors and make him whole. The instant that you choose to let  yourself be healed, in that same instant is his whole salvation seen
Tx:21.78  on the effects of sin in any form, all you need do is simply ask  yourself,
Tx:22.5  if you are his will, what you must then believe is that you are not  yourself. You can indeed believe this, and you do. And you have faith
Tx:22.5  of being disconnected, and your haunting fear of lack of meaning in  yourself arise? It is as though you wandered in without a plan of any
Tx:22.7  are something else, this “something else” which you have made to be  yourself became your sight. Yet it must be the “something else” which
Tx:22.11  was you. He was not given there, nor was received by anything except  yourself. For no two people can unite except through Christ, Whose
Tx:22.21  but what you made believes it is not so. Now must you choose between  yourself and an illusion of yourself. Not both, but one. There is no
Tx:22.21  is not so. Now must you choose between yourself and an illusion of  yourself. Not both, but one. There is no point in trying to avoid
Tx:22.26  of him what God has given him for you, not what you tried to give  yourself.
Tx:22.28  from all effects of sin. Would you have partial forgiveness for  yourself? Can you reach Heaven while a single sin still tempts you to
Tx:22.28  and God created it for you. Look on your holy brother, sinless as  yourself, and let him lead you there.
Tx:22.36  gave him not his holiness but tried to see your sins in him to save  yourself. And yet his holiness is your forgiveness. Can you be saved
Tx:22.47  uncertainty can be defensive. And all uncertainty is doubt about  yourself.
Tx:22.50  the need arise to be defensive about anything, you have identified  yourself with an illusion. And therefore feel that you are weak
Tx:22.56  The gentle service that you give the Holy Spirit is service to  yourself. You who are now His means must love all that He loves. And
Tx:22.60  Is this humility? You do not see what this belief has done. You see  yourself as vulnerable, frail, and easily destroyed and at the mercy
Tx:22.61  separate because of fear. For it seems safer to attack another or  yourself than to attack the great Creator of the universe, whose
Tx:22.62  the whole, the Son without the Father, and to attack another without  yourself or hurt yourself without the other feeling pain. And this
Tx:22.62  without the Father, and to attack another without yourself or hurt  yourself without the other feeling pain. And this belief you want.
Tx:23.2 How strange indeed becomes this war against  yourself! You will believe that everything you use for sin can hurt
Tx:23.8 Do you not realize a war against  yourself would be a war on God? Is victory conceivable? And if it
Tx:23.9 Be certain that it is impossible God and the ego, or  yourself and it, will ever meet. You seem to meet and make your
Tx:23.9 —an error in your self-appraisal. The ego joins with an illusion of  yourself you share with it. And yet illusions cannot join. They are
Tx:23.10 Brothers, the war against  yourself is almost over. The journey's end is at the place of peace.
Tx:23.11  what shall be part of you and what is kept apart. The war against  yourself was undertaken to teach the Son of God that he is not
Tx:23.11  and you have not forgotten what you are. Only a strange illusion of  yourself, a wish to triumph over what you are, remembers not.
Tx:23.12 The war against  yourself is but the battle of two illusions, struggling to make them
Tx:23.13  when you have learned you cannot be in conflict. One illusion about  yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two illusions is a
Tx:23.14  is not part of you. And by attacking it, you make two illusions of  yourself in conflict with each other. And this occurs whenever you
Tx:23.14  through battle. Why would you fill your world with conflicts with  yourself? Let all this madness be undone for you and turn in peace to
Tx:23.16 The stillness of your certainty of Him and of  yourself is home to both of you, who dwell as one and not apart. Open
Tx:23.27  thus it fails to recognize that you can never take away save from  yourself. Yet all the other laws must lead to this. For enemies do
Tx:23.28  been withheld; and the inevitable loss the enemy must suffer to save  yourself. Thus do the guilty ones protest their “innocence.” Were
Tx:24.12  by comparison with what you see. Nor do you understand it is  yourself that you diminish thus.
Tx:24.13  value specialness is to esteem an alien will to which illusions of  yourself are dearer than the truth.
Tx:24.18  his function, any more than you can change the truth in him and in  yourself. But be you certain that the truth is just the same in both.
Tx:24.19 Think of the loveliness that you will see within  yourself when you have looked on him as on a friend. He is the enemy
Tx:24.20  so encompassing that nothing stands outside. Leave all illusions of  yourself outside this place to which you come in hope and honesty.
Tx:24.24  for conflict everlasting. Here are the gates of hell you closed upon  yourself, to rule in madness and in loneliness your special kingdom,
Tx:24.25  You but emerge from an illusion of what you are to the acceptance of  yourself as God created you.
Tx:24.27  your puny might against the Will of God. And thus it stands against  yourself; your enemy, not God's. So does it seem to split you off
Tx:24.27  brother's birthright to it, leaving him alone and unforgiven and  yourself in sin beside him, both in misery before the idol that can
Tx:24.33  but that your will be done. They seek your love that you may love  yourself. Love not your specialness instead of them. The print of
Tx:24.34 Specialness is a lack of trust in anyone except  yourself. Faith is invested in yourself alone. Everything else
Tx:24.34  is a lack of trust in anyone except yourself. Faith is invested in  yourself alone. Everything else becomes your enemy—feared and
Tx:24.34  and salvation can only mean destruction of the world, except  yourself.
Tx:24.36 You can but hurt  yourself. This has been oft repeated but is difficult to grasp as
Tx:24.43  already loosened from the bone and sightless holes for eyes, is like  yourself?
Tx:24.45  His love for God replaces all the fear you thought you saw within  yourself. His holiness shows you Himself in him whose hand you hold
Tx:24.45  hand you hold and whom you lead to Him. And what you see is like  yourself. For what but Christ is there to see and hear and love and
Tx:24.47  And would He give a brother unto you except he be as perfect as  yourself and just as like to Him in holiness as you must be?
Tx:24.48  be doubt before there can be conflict. And every doubt must be about  yourself. Christ has no doubt, and from His certainty His quiet
Tx:24.49  is so lies in your brother, offered you that all your doubts about  yourself may disappear before his holiness. See in him God's
Tx:24.51  your own. It is His Will you share His love for you and look upon  yourself as lovingly as He conceived of you before the world began
Tx:24.52  by time, and all appearances, you will not know the Father nor  yourself. For you will use the world for what is not its purpose and
Tx:24.55  in your brother's holiness that you might see the truth about  yourself set forth at last in terms you recognized and understood?
Tx:24.56  it is not a part of him who stands beside you. He is the mirror of  yourself wherein you see the judgment you have laid on both of you.
Tx:24.58  be what governs part of God holds not for all the rest. You place  yourself under the laws you see as ruling him. Think, then, how great
Tx:24.59 Specialness is the function which you gave  yourself. It stands for you alone, as self-created, self-maintained,
Tx:24.65 Ask  yourself this: can you protect the mind? The body, yes, a little—
Tx:24.70 Look at  yourself, and you will see a body. Look at this body in a different
Tx:24.70  your hands and hear it move. Here is an image that you want to be  yourself. It is the means to make your wish come true. It gives the
Tx:24.71 Thus is the body made a theory of  yourself with no provisions made for evidence beyond itself and no
Tx:24.72  without a meeting-place and no encounter. One do you see outside  yourself, your own beloved son. The other rests within, His Father's
Tx:25.5  that you are there. And every body that you look upon reminds you of  yourself—your sinfulness, your evil, and above all, your death. And
Tx:25.5  message and the messenger are one. And you must see your brother as  yourself. Framed in his body, you will see your sinfulness wherein
Tx:25.6 Perception is a choice of what you want  yourself to be—the world you want to live in and the state in which
Tx:25.6  where you think your safety lies, at your decision. It reveals  yourself to you as you would have you be. And always is it faithful
Tx:25.14  you still from giving up the hopeless and unrewarding task you set  yourself. Can it make sense to hold the fixed belief that there is
Tx:25.21 Forgive your brother, and you cannot separate  yourself from him nor from his Father. You need no forgiveness, for
Tx:25.22  him the sinfulness he sees, but give him honor that you may esteem  yourself and him. To each of you is given the power of salvation that
Tx:25.35 Would you not do this for the love of God? And for  yourself? For think what it would do for you. Your “evil” thoughts
Tx:25.38  be afraid with “enemies” like these? And must you not be fearful of  yourself? For you have hurt yourself and made your Self your “enemy.”
Tx:25.38  these? And must you not be fearful of yourself? For you have hurt  yourself and made your Self your “enemy.” And now you must believe
Tx:25.38  And now you must believe you are not you but something alien to  yourself and “something else,” a “something” to be feared instead of
Tx:25.42  walk the way you pointed out to him because it is your judgment on  yourself.
Tx:25.50 And if the Holy Spirit can commute each sentence that you laid upon  yourself into a blessing, then it cannot be a sin. Sin is the one
Tx:25.56  needs and to the special time and place in which you think you find  yourself and where you can be free of place and time and all that you
Tx:25.63  this He needs—that you prefer He take it than that you keep it for  yourself alone and recognize that what brings loss to no one you
Tx:25.71  what you see He offers you and what you recognize you could not give  yourself.
Tx:25.72  you deserve but understands as well that you cannot accept it for  yourself. It is His special function to hold out to you the gifts the
Tx:25.75  world, which is but shadows of all that is really happening within  yourself. The understanding which you need comes not of you but from
Tx:25.77  love decide and never fear that you in your unfairness will deprive  yourself of what God's justice has allotted you.
Tx:25.84  to solve for you means that you want it solved. To keep it for  yourself to solve without His help is to decide it should remain
Tx:25.86  That is why your sole responsibility must be to take forgiveness for  yourself. The miracle that you receive, you give. Each one becomes an
Tx:26.1 —a giving up of power in the name of saving just a little for  yourself. To see a brother in another body separate from yours is the
Tx:26.3  incomplete to keep its own identity intact. In this perception of  yourself, the body's loss would be a sacrifice indeed. For sight of
Tx:26.3  limits on each brother whom you see. For you must see him as you see  yourself.
Tx:26.5  to every meager scrap and tiny crumb of happiness that you allot  yourself.
Tx:26.6  But judge him not, for you will hear no song of liberation for  yourself nor see what it is given him to witness to that you may see
Tx:26.14  give but some mistakes to be corrected while you keep the others to  yourself, remember this: justice is total. There is no such thing as
Tx:26.14  not look at what is there to see? Each time you keep a problem for  yourself to solve or judge that it is one which has no resolution,
Tx:26.15  that some injustices are fair and good and necessary to preserve  yourself. It is these problems that you think are great and cannot be
Tx:26.38  Father has ensured must come to you. And from your own unfairness to  yourself has He protected you. You cannot lose your way because there
Tx:26.54 Sins are beliefs which you impose between your brother and  yourself. They limit you to time and place and give a little space to
Tx:26.54  Forgiveness takes away what stands between your brother and  yourself. It is the wish that you be joined with him and not apart.
Tx:26.62  same. If you believe what is the same is different, you but deceive  yourself. What God calls one will be forever one, not separate. His
Tx:26.78  still? Forget not that a shadow held between your brother and  yourself obscures the face of Christ and memory of God. And would you
Tx:26.87  are is but another form of the idea you are deprived by someone not  yourself. Projection of the cause of sacrifice is at the root of
Tx:26.87  be unfair and not your just deserts. Yet it is you who ask this of  yourself in deep injustice to the Son of God. You have no enemy
Tx:26.87  in deep injustice to the Son of God. You have no enemy except  yourself, and you are enemy indeed to him because you do not know him
Tx:26.87  and you are enemy indeed to him because you do not know him as  yourself. What could be more unjust than that he be deprived of what
Tx:26.88 Beware of the temptation to perceive  yourself unfairly treated. In this view, you seek to find an
Tx:26.89  one goal is but to take away all purpose from the world and from  yourself. And each unfairness that the world appears to lay upon you,
Tx:26.90  brought can you perceive to lighten up your way. And so you see  yourself deprived of light, abandoned to the dark, unfairly left
Tx:27.1  or you will weave a crown of thorns from which your brother and  yourself will not escape. You cannot crucify yourself alone. And if
Tx:27.1  which your brother and yourself will not escape. You cannot crucify  yourself alone. And if you are unfairly treated, he must suffer the
Tx:27.1  he must suffer the unfairness that you see. You cannot sacrifice  yourself alone. For sacrifice is total. If it could occur at all, it
Tx:27.2  do you see as proof that he is guilty of attack. Thus would you make  yourself to be the sign that he has lost his innocence and need but
Tx:27.2  to him, and when it rests on him are you set free. Wish not to make  yourself a living symbol of his guilt, for you will not escape the
Tx:27.3  where you are beyond attack and prove his innocence. The picture of  yourself you offer him you show yourself and give it all your faith.
Tx:27.3  prove his innocence. The picture of yourself you offer him you show  yourself and give it all your faith. The Holy Spirit offers you to
Tx:27.3  your faith. The Holy Spirit offers you to give to him a picture of  yourself in which there is no pain and no reproach at all. And what
Tx:27.7  represent. And each has many voices, speaking to your brother and  yourself in different tongues. And yet to both the message is the
Tx:27.10  brother that sin can have no cause. How futile must it be to see  yourself a picture of the proof that what your function is can never
Tx:27.12  of a purpose to a thing you made to hide your function from  yourself. This thing without a purpose cannot hide the function that
Tx:27.16  is not real unless it brings a healing to your brother and  yourself. You must attest his sins had no effect on you to
Tx:27.16  In their undoing lies the proof that they were merely errors. Let  yourself be healed that you may be forgiving, offering salvation to
Tx:27.16  that you may be forgiving, offering salvation to your brother and  yourself. A broken body shows the mind has not been healed. A miracle
Tx:27.19  an equal gift of full deliverance from guilt upon your brother and  yourself. Your healing saves him pain as well as you, and you are
Tx:27.22  Identity and function are the same, and by your function do you know  yourself. And thus, if you confuse your function with the function of
Tx:27.22  function with the function of Another, you must be confused about  yourself and who you are. What is the separation but a wish to take
Tx:27.26  will not even see. The focus of correction has been placed outside  yourself on one who cannot be a part of you while this perception
Tx:27.26  focus of your hate, unworthy to be part of you and thus outside  yourself—the other half which is denied. And only what is left
Tx:27.47  A dying world asks only that you rest an instant from attack upon  yourself, that it be healed.
Tx:27.49  taught. No reinforcement will its thanks withhold from you who let  yourself be healed that it might live. It will call forth its
Tx:27.52  unlimited. Your part is merely to apply what He has taught you to  yourself, and He will do the rest. And thus the power of your
Tx:27.53  will learn that peace is given you when you accept the healing for  yourself. Its total value need not be appraised by you to let you
Tx:27.67  beheld. In separation from your brother was the first attack upon  yourself begun. And it is this the world bears witness to. Seek not
Tx:27.68  guilt was not among them. Nor did you in any way request them for  yourself. This is how all illusions come about. The one who makes
Tx:27.72 A brother separated from  yourself, an ancient enemy, a murderer who stalks you in the night
Tx:27.83  done to you. The guilt for what you thought is being placed outside  yourself and on a guilty world which dreams your dreams and thinks
Tx:27.84  this petulant device to keep your innocence by pushing guilt outside  yourself but never letting go! It is not easy to perceive the jest
Tx:27.86 The secret of salvation is but this: that you are doing this unto  yourself. No matter what the form of the attack, this still is true.
Tx:27.89  lesson truly learned. Salvation is a secret you have kept but from  yourself. The universe proclaims it so. Yet to its witnesses you pay
Tx:27.90 This is the obvious—a secret kept from no one but  yourself. And it is this that has maintained you separate from the
Tx:28.6  attributes with which you seek to keep concealed the truth about  yourself. Time neither takes away nor can restore. And yet you make
Tx:28.7 Remember nothing that you taught  yourself, for you were badly taught. And who would keep a senseless
Tx:28.18  your “creations,” you the “other” mind, creating with effects unlike  yourself. And as their “father,” you must be like them. Nothing at
Tx:28.18  must be like them. Nothing at all has happened but that you have put  yourself to sleep and dreamed a dream in which you were an alien to
Tx:28.18  yourself to sleep and dreamed a dream in which you were an alien to  yourself and but a part of someone else's dream.
Tx:28.33  be gone and clutch them not with eager hands, to keep them for  yourself. The miracle will brush them all aside and thus make room
Tx:28.37 Accepting the Atonement for  yourself means not to give support to someone's dream of sickness and
Tx:28.38  form they take, for you will lose identity in them. You find  yourself by not accepting them as causing you and giving you effects.
Tx:28.38  you are but a dream. And what is real and what is but illusion in  yourself you do not know and cannot tell apart.
Tx:28.53  behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that you will see within  yourself when you have lost the fear of recognizing love.
Tx:28.57  apart. This is the secret oath you take again, whenever you perceive  yourself attacked. No one can suffer if he does not see himself
Tx:28.61  because it is a part of God Himself. Are you not sick if you deny  yourself your wholeness and your health, the Source of help, the Call
Tx:29.1  do you believe, when you perceive a gap between your brother and  yourself. How could you trust Him, then? For He must be deceptive in
Tx:29.10  on it as a simple way, without a sacrifice or any loss, to find  yourself in Heaven and in God? Until you realize you give up nothing,
Tx:29.16  To change is to attain a state unlike the one in which you found  yourself before. There is no change in immortality, and Heaven knows
Tx:29.22 You cannot wake  yourself. Yet you can let yourself be wakened. You can overlook your
Tx:29.22 You cannot wake yourself. Yet you can let  yourself be wakened. You can overlook your brother's dreams. So
Tx:29.33 This sacred Son of God is like  yourself—the mirror of his Father's love for you, the soft reminder
Tx:29.37  dreams are means to step aside from dreaming of a world outside  yourself. And leading finally beyond all dreams unto the peace of
Tx:29.40  for you and establish it as changeless and eternal. You can give  yourself a purpose that you do not have. But you can not remove the
Tx:29.43 Seek not outside  yourself. For it will fail, and you will weep each time an idol
Tx:29.43  and find the happiness His answer brings. Seek not outside  yourself. For all your pain comes simply from a futile search for
Tx:29.43  But it is given you to know the truth and not to seek for it outside  yourself.
Tx:29.46  loss. And by this giving up is life renounced. Seek not outside  yourself. The search implies you are not whole within and fear to
Tx:29.46  and fear to look upon your devastation and prefer to seek outside  yourself for what you are.
Tx:29.48  maintain allegiance to the dream that you must find what is outside  yourself to be complete and happy. It is vain to worship idols in the
Tx:29.48  Him. No idol takes His place. Look not to idols. Do not seek outside  yourself. Let us forget the purpose of the world the past has given
Tx:29.49  what it is for. You try to see in it a place of idols found outside  yourself, with power to make complete what is within by splitting
Tx:29.51  do not seek to drown His Voice in chants of deep despair to idols of  yourself. Seek not outside your Father for your hope. For hope of
Tx:29.55  face of Christ because its purpose is to separate your brother from  yourself. A dark and fearful purpose, yet a thought without the power
Tx:29.61  raise him up? Hear then your story in the dream you made, and ask  yourself if it be not the truth that you believe that it is not a
Tx:29.62  can he know the Self he has condemned. Judge not, because you make  yourself a part of evil dreams where idols are your “true” identity
Tx:29.62  your salvation from the judgment laid in terror and in guilt upon  yourself.
Tx:29.70  dreams remind you that you live in safety and have not attacked  yourself. So do your childish terrors melt away and dreams become a
Tx:30.2  to form which sees you through the rest. It is not wise to let  yourself become preoccupied with every step you take. The proper set,
Tx:30.2  strong and dedication weak, you are not ready. Do not fight  yourself. But think about the kind of day you want and tell yourself
Tx:30.2  fight yourself. But think about the kind of day you want and tell  yourself there is a way in which this very day can happen just like
Tx:30.7  time you think of it and have a quiet moment for reflection, tell  yourself again the kind of day you want, the feelings you would have,
Tx:30.10  an answer that will work. Be certain this has happened if you feel  yourself unwilling to sit by and ask to have the answer given you.
Tx:30.10  and ask to have the answer given you. This means you have decided by  yourself and cannot see the question. Now you need a quick
Tx:30.11  is not part of it. Then realize that you have asked a question by  yourself and must have set an answer in your terms. Then say,
Tx:30.14  want. This can be very hard to realize when once you have decided by  yourself the rules which promise you a happy day. Yet this decision
Tx:30.20  to let you go ahead with just a few more steps you need to let  yourself be helped.
Tx:30.29  begin a happy day with the determination not to make decisions by  yourself. This seems to be a real decision in itself. And yet, you
Tx:30.29  be a real decision in itself. And yet, you cannot make decisions by  yourself. The only question really is with what you choose to make
Tx:30.29  a simple statement of a simple fact. You will not make decisions by  yourself whatever you decide. For they are made with idols or with
Tx:30.31  are not made in isolation. They are made by you and your advisor for  yourself and for the world as well. The day you want you offer to the
Tx:30.32  you will have the day you want and give it to the world by having it  yourself. Your judgment has been lifted from the world by your
Tx:30.33 Do you not understand that to oppose the Holy Spirit is to fight  yourself? He tells you but your will; He speaks for you. In His
Tx:30.34  willing you be free. And to oppose Him is to make a choice against  yourself and choose that you be bound.
Tx:30.40  unlimited. To seek a special person or a thing to add to you to make  yourself complete can only mean that you believe some form is
Tx:30.40  search for wholeness to be made beyond the boundaries of limits on  yourself.
Tx:30.49  are the false ideas you made to fill the gap you think arose between  yourself and what is true. And you attack them for the things you
Tx:30.52  which guarantee your safety. All illusions that you believe about  yourself obey no laws. They seem to dance a little while, according
Tx:30.54  will forever place you far beyond deception. You need not concern  yourself with how this will be done, for this you cannot understand.
Tx:30.55  no longer for the things you do not want. And you are asked to let  yourself be free of all the dreams of what you never were and seek no
Tx:30.62  the goal of sin and guilt. And all that stood between your image of  yourself and what you are, forgiveness washes joyfully away. Yet God
Tx:30.62  what is his be given back to him. The gap between your brother and  yourself was never there. And what the Son of God knew in creation,
Tx:30.75  from guilt for you. What can this be except a false forgiveness of  yourself and everyone who seems apart from you?
Tx:30.76  You must forgive God's Son entirely. Or you will keep an image of  yourself that is not whole and will remain afraid to look within and
Tx:30.78  is no way to think of him but this if you would know the truth about  yourself:
Tx:30.91  is given you, but not of God Who knows no limits. You have limited  yourself.
Tx:31.11  disaster and disunity and pain. Hear not the call for this within  yourself. But listen, rather, to the deeper call beyond it that
Tx:31.15  there appears to be the hope of satisfaction and of peace. You see  yourself divided into both these roles, forever split between the
Tx:31.15  the two. And every friend or enemy becomes a means to help you save  yourself from this.
Tx:31.17  For he is asking what will come to you because you see an image of  yourself and hear your voice requesting what you want.
Tx:31.23  all appearances, which are but ancient lessons that you taught  yourself about the sinfulness in you. Hear but his call for mercy and
Tx:31.24  as a brother, must his Father be the same as yours, as he is like  yourself.
Tx:31.27  your reality? And why do you attack them everywhere, except you hate  yourself? Are you a sin? You answer “yes” whenever you attack, for by
Tx:31.32  and there will be no ancient penalty exacted from your brother or  yourself. For God has said there is no sacrifice that can be asked;
Tx:31.40  and you can but decide how you would choose the better to deceive  yourself again. This course attempts to teach no more than that the
Tx:31.40  in the world depend on this—you choose between your brother and  yourself, and you will gain as much as he will lose, and what you
Tx:31.42 There is no road that leads away from Him. A journey from  yourself does not exist. How foolish and insane it is to think that
Tx:31.42  it, walking there without your own reality at one with you? Forgive  yourself your madness and forget all senseless journeys and all
Tx:31.44 A concept of the self is made by you. It bears no likeness to  yourself at all. It is an idol, made to take the place of your
Tx:31.50  begun and ended with the single aim of teaching you this concept of  yourself, that you will choose to follow this world's laws and never
Tx:31.50  and never seek to go beyond its roads nor realize the way you see  yourself. Now must the Holy Spirit find a way to help you see this
Tx:31.52  and merely think of this—there are two parts to what you think  yourself to be. If one was generated by your brother, who was there
Tx:31.57  interacts with evil and reacts to wicked things? Your concept of  yourself will still remain quite meaningless. And you will not
Tx:31.57  And you will not perceive that you can interact but with  yourself. To see a guilty world is but the sign your learning has
Tx:31.57  learning has been guided by the world, and you behold it as you see  yourself. The concept of the self embraces all you look upon, and
Tx:31.58  show the changes in your own relationships as your perception of  yourself is changed. There will be some confusion every time there is
Tx:31.65  not where you believe you are nor what you think the truth about  yourself must really be. It makes no difference what you look upon
Tx:31.66  Son of God as you would have him be, forget not that no concept of  yourself will stand against the truth of what you are. Undoing truth
Tx:31.69  form, with content still concealed, to shake your sorry concept of  yourself and blacken it with still another “crime.” You cannot give
Tx:31.69  yourself and blacken it with still another “crime.” You cannot give  yourself your innocence, for you are too confused about yourself. But
Tx:31.69  cannot give yourself your innocence, for you are too confused about  yourself. But should one brother dawn upon your sight as wholly
Tx:31.69  your sight as wholly worthy of forgiveness, then your concept of  yourself is wholly changed. Your “evil” thoughts have been forgiven
Tx:31.70  a shadow circling round the good. And this will be your concept of  yourself, when you have reached the world beyond the sight your eyes
Tx:31.71 You live in that world just as much as this. For both are concepts of  yourself which can be interchanged, but never jointly held. The
Tx:31.71  is far greater than you think, for you will love this concept of  yourself because it was not made for you alone. Born as a gift for
Tx:31.71  made for you alone. Born as a gift for someone not perceived to be  yourself, it has been given you. For your forgiveness, offered unto
Tx:31.72 Have faith in him who walks with you, so that your fearful concept of  yourself may change. And look upon the good in him that you may not
Tx:31.72  more than this is asked. On its behalf, remember what the concept of  yourself which now you hold has brought you in its wake, and welcome
Tx:31.72  need for it is just the same as yours. And let the cruel concept of  yourself be changed to one which brings the peace of God.
Tx:31.73 The concept of  yourself which now you hold would guarantee your function here remain
Tx:31.73  have it yours. Alternatives are in your mind to use, and you can see  yourself another way. Would you not rather look upon yourself as
Tx:31.73  and you can see yourself another way. Would you not rather look upon  yourself as needed for salvation of the world instead of as
Tx:31.76  a space between you and your brother, kept apart by an illusion of  yourself which holds him off from you and you away from him. The
Tx:31.76  sword of judgment is the weapon which you give to the illusion of  yourself that it may fight to keep the space that holds your brother
Tx:31.76  love. Yet while you hold this sword, you must perceive the body as  yourself, for you are bound to separation from the sight of him who
Tx:31.77  in hell and misery? And what could this give rise to but an image of  yourself that can be miserable and remain in hell and torment? Who
Tx:31.79  you are the thing you wish to be. It will remain your concept of  yourself until the wish that fathered it no longer is held dear. But
Tx:31.79  simple choice of whether you would join with what you see or keep  yourself apart and separate.
Tx:31.80  of what your brother is as it is free of any judgment made upon  yourself. It sees no past in anyone at all. And thus it serves a
Tx:31.81  remembering that it is but a wish, insane and meaningless, to make  yourself a thing which you are not. And think as well upon the thing
Tx:31.88  prevail in every circumstance and every place you raised an image of  yourself before. For what appears to hide the face of Christ is
Tx:31.89 Learn then the happy habit of response to all temptation to perceive  yourself as weak and miserable with these words:
Tx:31.92  as weakness and as suffering and loss is but temptation to perceive  yourself defenseless and in hell. Yield not to this, and you will see
W1:I.4  specificity. Each one applies to every situation in which you find  yourself and to everything you see in it. Each day's exercises are
W1:I.5  None of this will matter nor decrease their efficacy. But allow  yourself to make no exceptions in applying the ideas the exercises
W1:4.1  only the thoughts you think are “bad.” You will find, if you train  yourself to look at your thoughts, that they represent such a mixture
W1:5.8 You may also find  yourself less willing to apply today's idea to some perceived sources
W1:6.4  the idea to some upsetting thoughts more than to others, remind  yourself of the two cautions stated in the previous lesson:
W1:10.4  and introduce them by repeating the idea for today quite slowly to  yourself. Then add:
W1:11.2  previous ones. Begin with eyes closed, and repeat the idea slowly to  yourself. Then open your eyes and look about, near or far, up or down
W1:11.2  the minute or so to be spent in using the idea, merely repeat it to  yourself, being sure to do so without haste and with no sense of
W1:11.3  exercises, close your eyes and repeat the idea once more, slowly, to  yourself.
W1:12.2  with eyes open. Look around you, this time quite slowly. Try to pace  yourself so that the slow shifting of your glance from one thing to
W1:12.2  even tempo throughout. What you see does not matter. You teach  yourself this as you give whatever your glance rests on equal
W1:12.3 As you look about you, say to  yourself:
W1:13.3  illusions are safety devices, as they must also be to you who equate  yourself with the ego.
W1:13.4  from the preceding ones. With eyes closed, repeat today's idea to  yourself. Then open your eyes and look about you slowly, saying:
W1:13.6 Repeat this statement to  yourself as you look about. Then close your eyes and conclude with:
W1:13.8  concluding statement. Whatever form such resistance may take, remind  yourself that you are really afraid of such a thought because of the
W1:15.4 In practicing the idea for today, repeat it first to  yourself, and then apply it to whatever you see around you, using its
W1:15.6  to continue to look at each subject while you repeat the idea to  yourself. The idea should be repeated quite slowly each time.
W1:16.5  as each one crosses your mind, hold it in awareness while you tell  yourself:
W1:17.2 In applying today's idea, say to  yourself, with eyes open:
W1:20.1  of the world depends on it. Yet you will not see if you regard  yourself as being coerced and if you give in to resentment and
W1:21.2 In the practice periods, begin by repeating the idea to  yourself. Then close your eyes and search your mind carefully for
W1:21.4  attack thoughts present themselves, hold each one in mind and tell  yourself:
W1:22.3  slowly from one object to another, from one body to another, say to  yourself:
W1:22.5 At the end of each practice period, ask  yourself:
W1:23.4 You see the world which you have made, but you do not see  yourself as the image-maker. You cannot be saved from the world, but
W1:23.6  today's idea. As you look about you, repeat the idea slowly to  yourself and then close your eyes and devote about a minute to
W1:24.9  for each unresolved situation that crosses your mind, say to  yourself:
W1:26.3 The idea for today introduces the thought that you always attack  yourself. If attack thoughts must entail the belief that you are
W1:26.3  you in your own eyes. Thus they have attacked your perception of  yourself. And because you believe in them, you can no longer believe
W1:26.3  And because you believe in them, you can no longer believe in  yourself. A false image of yourself has come to take the place of

W1:30.3  throughout the day. Whenever you have a moment or so, repeat it to  yourself slowly, looking about you and trying to realize that the
W1:31.3  As you sit and quietly watch your thoughts, repeat today's idea to  yourself as often as you care to, but with no sense of hurry.
W1:31.4  the idea for today as often as possible during the day. Remind  yourself that you are making a declaration of independence in the

W1:32.3  or three times while looking around at the world you see as outside  yourself. Then close your eyes and look around your inner world. Try
W1:32.4  select a time when few distractions are anticipated and when you  yourself feel reasonably ready.
W1:32.6  to any situation which may distress you. Apply the idea by telling  yourself:
W1:33.2  Merely glance casually around the world you perceive as outside  yourself, then close your eyes and survey your inner thoughts with
W1:33.5  to take a minute or so to sit quietly and repeat the idea to  yourself several times. Closing your eyes will probably help in this
W1:34.4  in thinking of specific subjects, continue to repeat the idea to  yourself in an unhurried manner, without applying it to anything in

W1:35.1 Today's idea does not describe the way you see  yourself now. It does, however, describe what vision will show you.
W1:35.2  are part of where you think you are. That is because you surround  yourself with the environment you want. And you want it to protect
W1:35.2  the environment you want. And you want it to protect the image of  yourself that you have made. The image is part of this environment.
W1:35.3 The idea for today presents a very different view of  yourself. By establishing your Source, it establishes your Identity,
W1:35.4  practice periods today, begin by repeating today's idea to  yourself and then close your eyes and search your mind for the
W1:35.4  mind for the various kinds of descriptive terms in which you see  yourself. Include all of the ego-based attributes which you ascribe
W1:35.4  Include all of the ego-based attributes which you ascribe to  yourself, positive or negative, desirable or undesirable, grandiose
W1:35.4  debased. All of them are equally unreal because you do not look upon  yourself through the eyes of holiness.
W1:35.5  you consider to be the more negative aspects of your perception of  yourself. Toward the latter part of the exercise period, however,

W1:35.11  day, pick up a specific attribute or attributes you are ascribing to  yourself at the time and apply the idea for today to them, adding the

W1:36.5  these practice periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea to  yourself. Then open your eyes and continue as before.
W1:38.2  sorrow, and can solve all problems. It can do so in connection with  yourself and with anyone else. It is equal in its power to help
W1:38.3  or suffering in any form that you happen to think of in  yourself or someone else. We will make no distinctions because there
W1:39.6 Begin the practice periods as usual by repeating today's idea to  yourself. Then with closed eyes search out your unloving thoughts in
W1:39.10  several short periods during which you merely repeat today's idea to  yourself slowly a few times. You may also find it helpful to include
W1:39.14  some three or four times an hour and more if possible, you may ask  yourself this question, repeat today's idea, or preferably both. If
W1:40.3  which you associate with being a Son of God, applying them to  yourself. One practice period might, for example, consist of the
W1:40.7 If only a brief period is available, merely telling  yourself that you are blessed as a Son of God will do.
W1:42.2  anywhere, wherever you are and in whatever circumstances you find  yourself. Your passage through time and space is not random. You
W1:42.3  sleep. It is better, however, to wait until you can sit quietly by  yourself at a time when you feel ready than it is to be concerned
W1:42.10  repeat the idea during the day, the more often you will be reminding  yourself that the goal of the course is important to you and that you
W1:43.5 At the beginning of these practice periods, repeat the idea to  yourself with eyes open. Then glance around you for a short time,
W1:43.12  vary according to the circumstances and situations in which you find  yourself during the day. When you are with someone else, for example,
W1:44.2  recognize that light is within, not without. You do not see outside  yourself, nor is the equipment for seeing outside you. An essential
W1:44.6  and fears are meaningless. You might find it helpful to remind  yourself from time to time that to reach light is to escape from
W1:45.6 Begin the exercises for today by repeating the idea to  yourself, closing your eyes as you do so. Spend a fairly short period
W1:45.6  four or five thoughts of your own, repeat the idea again, and tell  yourself gently:
W1:45.11  understanding you have already gained, you should be able to remind  yourself that this is no idle game but an exercise in holiness and an
W1:46.1  forgiveness are binding themselves to them. As you condemn only  yourself, so do you forgive only yourself.
W1:46.1  to them. As you condemn only yourself, so do you forgive only  yourself.
W1:46.3  Begin the longer practice periods by repeating today's idea to  yourself, as usual. Close your eyes as you do so and spend a minute
W1:46.6  of today's practice is to put you in the best position to forgive  yourself. After you have applied the idea for today to all those who
W1:46.6  applied the idea for today to all those who have come to mind, tell  yourself,
W1:47.2 Of  yourself, you can do none of these things. To believe that you can is
W1:47.4  which you have invested with fear, dismissing each one by telling  yourself,
W1:47.6  could deal with the situation successfully. It is not by trusting  yourself that you will gain confidence. But the strength of God in
W1:48.2  whenever possible to close your eyes and repeat the idea slowly to  yourself several times. It is particularly important that you use the
W1:50.3  all seeming difficulties without effort and in sure confidence. Tell  yourself this often today. It is a declaration of release from the
W1:50.3  the belief in idols. It is your acknowledgment of the truth about  yourself.
W1:R1.5  is not done by avoiding them and seeking a haven of isolation for  yourself. You will yet learn that peace is part of you and requires
W1:61.1  God's Son? This, then, is merely a statement of the truth about  yourself. It is the opposite of a statement of pride, of arrogance,
W1:61.4  to all temptation. It brings all the images you have made about  yourself to the truth and helps you depart in peace, unburdened and
W1:61.5  one need not exceed a minute or two. They should begin with telling  yourself:
W1:61.7  Let a few related thoughts come to you, and repeat the idea to  yourself if your mind wanders away from the central thought.
W1:61.8  Thus you will awaken with an acknowledgment of the truth about  yourself, reinforce it throughout the day, and turn to sleep as you
W1:62.1  light of the world. Through your forgiveness does the truth about  yourself return to your memory. Therefore in your forgiveness lies
W1:62.2 Illusions about  yourself and the world are one. That is why all forgiveness is a gift
W1:62.2  and the world are one. That is why all forgiveness is a gift to  yourself. Your goal is to find out who you are, having denied your
W1:62.5 As often as you can, closing your eyes if possible, say to  yourself:
W1:64.2  To the Holy Spirit, the world is a place where you learn to forgive  yourself what you think of as your sins. In this perception, the
W1:64.3  this and only the fear of the ego that induces you to regard  yourself as unworthy of the task assigned to you by God Himself.
W1:64.6 Prepare  yourself in advance for all the decisions you will make today by
W1:64.11  the thoughts and look slowly and unselectively about you, telling  yourself:
W1:65.1  and the relinquishment of all the other goals you have invented for  yourself. This is the only way in which you can take your rightful
W1:65.2  It places the key to the door of peace, which you have closed upon  yourself, in your own hands. It gives you the answer to all the
W1:65.5  the idea for today. Then close your eyes, repeat the idea to  yourself once again, and watch your mind carefully to catch whatever
W1:65.6  involvement or concern as possible, dismissing each one by telling  yourself:
W1:65.8  but do not strain or make undue effort in doing this. Then tell  yourself:
W1:67.5  and then try to reach past all your images and preconceptions about  yourself to the truth in you. If Love created you like Itself, this
W1:67.6  need to continue adding other thoughts related to the truth about  yourself. Yet perhaps you will succeed in going past that and through
W1:67.6  to the awareness of a blazing light in which you recognize  yourself as Love created you. Be confident that you will do much
W1:67.7  idea for today as often as you can. You need to hear the truth about  yourself as frequently as possible because your mind is so
W1:67.7  hour, and perhaps even more, it would be most beneficial to remind  yourself that Love created you like Itself. Hear the truth about
W1:67.7  yourself that Love created you like Itself. Hear the truth about  yourself in this.
W1:67.8  the Voice of truth replacing everything that the ego tells you about  yourself with the simple truth about the Son of God. You were created
W1:68.1  a grievance is to forget who you are. To hold a grievance is to see  yourself as a body. It is the decision to let the ego rule your mind
W1:68.6  This has left you alone in all the universe in your perception of  yourself.
W1:68.9 Spend the remainder of the practice period trying to think of  yourself as completely at peace with everyone and everything, safe in
W1:68.9  can harm you in any way. At the end of the practice period tell  yourself:
W1:69.6  have thought about the importance of what you are trying to do for  yourself and the world, try to settle down in perfect stillness,
W1:69.9  of the importance of today's idea to you and your happiness, remind  yourself that your grievances are hiding the light of the world from
W1:69.9  are hiding the light of the world from your awareness. Remind  yourself also that you are not searching for it alone and that you do
W1:69.11 Also, be sure to tell  yourself:
W1:70.2  of accepting today's idea is this: it means that nothing outside  yourself can save you; nothing outside yourself can give you peace.
W1:70.2  it means that nothing outside yourself can save you; nothing outside  yourself can give you peace. But it also means that nothing outside
W1:70.2  yourself can give you peace. But it also means that nothing outside  yourself can hurt you or disturb your peace or upset you in any way.
W1:70.10  which you sought to make real. Recognize that it was not there. Tell  yourself:
W1:70.14 For the short and frequent practice periods today, remind  yourself that your salvation comes from you and nothing but your own
W1:71.2  Thus the source of salvation is constantly perceived as outside  yourself.
W1:71.3  for salvation is thus demanded of everyone and everything except  yourself.
W1:71.9  for your salvation will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow  yourself to become depressed or angry at the second part; it is
W1:71.9  release from all your own insane attempts and mad proposals to free  yourself. They have led to depression and anger. But God's plan will
W1:71.13 In the shorter practice periods tell  yourself often that God's plan for salvation, and only His, will
W1:72.7  Very well. Let us accept this and be glad. As a body, do not let  yourself be deprived of what the body offers. Take the little you can
W1:72.8  and exalt it. But while it stands at the center of your concept of  yourself, you are attacking God's plan for salvation and holding your
W1:72.9  perception has been ruinous to your peace of mind. You have seen  yourself in a body and the truth outside you, locked away from your
W1:73.6  is really Heaven. You know it is not so. You cannot want this for  yourself. There is a point beyond which illusions cannot go.
W1:73.8 We will succeed today if you remember that you will salvation for  yourself. You will to accept God's plan because you share in it. You
W1:73.12 After reminding  yourself of this and determining to keep your will clearly in mind,
W1:73.12  of this and determining to keep your will clearly in mind, tell  yourself with gentle firmness and quiet certainty:
W1:74.7  quickly with any conflict thoughts that may cross your mind. Tell  yourself immediately:
W1:74.9  person or persons and the situation or situations involved, and tell  yourself:
W1:74.12 If you feel  yourself slipping off into withdrawal, quickly repeat the idea for
W1:74.13  be undertaken at regular and predetermined intervals today, say to  yourself:
W1:75.5  lie across the world. Begin the longer practice periods by telling  yourself the glad tidings of your release:
W1:75.10 Tell Him you know you cannot fail because you trust in Him. Tell  yourself you wait in certainty to look upon the world He promised
W1:75.11  periods, too, will be joyful reminders of your release. Remind  yourself every quarter of an hour or so that today is a time for
W1:75.15  in which God would have you be. Keep it in your awareness of  yourself and see it everywhere today, as we celebrate the beginning
W1:76.1  While you would seek for it in things that have no meaning, you bind  yourself to laws that make no sense. Thus do you seek to prove
W1:77.2 Your claim to miracles does not lie in your illusions about  yourself. It does not depend on any magical powers you have ascribed
W1:77.2  It does not depend on any magical powers you have ascribed to  yourself nor on any of the rituals you have devised. It is inherent
W1:77.4 Begin the longer practice periods by telling  yourself quite confidently that you are entitled to miracles. Closing
W1:77.4  that you are entitled to miracles. Closing your eyes, remind  yourself that you are asking only for what is rightfully yours.
W1:77.4  that you are asking only for what is rightfully yours. Remind  yourself also that miracles are never taken from one and given to
W1:77.7  and will also be devoted to a reminder of a simple fact. Tell  yourself often today:
W1:77.9  for. You will recognize these situations; you are not relying on  yourself to find them, you are therefore fully entitled to receive
W1:77.10  to be satisfied with less than the perfect answer. Be quick to tell  yourself, should you be tempted:
W1:79.10  form of problems today. Whenever any difficulty seems to rise, tell  yourself quickly:
W1:80.2 Your only problem has been solved! Repeat this over and over to  yourself today with gratitude and conviction. You have recognized
W1:80.2  aside and seen the light of truth. You have accepted salvation for  yourself by bringing the problem to the answer. And you can recognize
W1:80.8  that do not exist. The means is simple honesty. Do not deceive  yourself about what the problem is, and you must recognize it has
W1:91.5  weakness behind. This is accomplished very simply, as you instruct  yourself that you are not a body. Faith goes to what you want, and
W1:91.12  phase of the exercise period, try to experience these truths about  yourself. Concentrate particularly on the experience of strength.
W1:91.14 Five or six times an hour at reasonably regular intervals remind  yourself that miracles are seen in light. Also, be sure to meet
W1:92.10 Let us give 20 minutes twice today to join this meeting. Let  yourself be brought unto your Self. Its strength will be the light in
W1:93.4  and that light and joy and peace abide in you? Your image of  yourself cannot withstand the Will of God. You think that this is
W1:93.7  but one thought—you are as God created you, not what you made of  yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created
W1:93.10  what God has given you in place of what you have decreed for  yourself.
W1:94.6  long list of attributes, both “good” and “bad,” you have ascribed to  yourself and wait in silent expectancy for the truth. God has Himself
W1:94.7  practicing for the first five minutes of every hour, at least remind  yourself hourly:
W1:94.9 Tell  yourself frequently today that you are as God created you. And be
W1:95.1  idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one within  yourself and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your
W1:95.1  it must be so, only because you believe that you have changed  yourself already. You see yourself as a ridiculous parody on God's
W1:95.1  because you believe that you have changed yourself already. You see  yourself as a ridiculous parody on God's creation—weak, vicious,
W1:95.2 Such is your version of  yourself—a self divided into many warring parts, separate from God,
W1:95.14 Then close your eyes and tell  yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the
W1:96.1 Although you are One Self, you experience  yourself as two—as both good and evil, loving and hating, mind and
W1:99.9  Father loves you. All the world of pain is not His Will. Forgive  yourself the thought He wanted this for you. Then let the thought
W1:99.15  to be another self. You have no function that is not of God. Forgive  yourself the one you think you made. Forgiveness and salvation are
W1:99.18 Your only function tells you you are one. Remind  yourself of this between the times you give five minutes to be shared
W1:99.18  minutes to be shared with Him Who shares God's plan with you. Remind  yourself:
W1:100.11  Who calls to you today. And it is Him you answer every time you tell  yourself you are essential to God's plan for the salvation of the
W1:101.6  Joy is just, and pain is but the sign you have misunderstood  yourself.
W1:101.9  these five minutes gladly to remove the heavy load you laid upon  yourself with the insane belief that sin is real.
W1:101.10  goal of peace. There is no sin. Remember this today, and tell  yourself as often as you can:
W1:102.7  these hourly five minute rests, pause frequently today to tell  yourself that you have now accepted happiness as your one function.
W1:105.7  are their right under the equal laws of God. Here you denied them to  yourself. And here you must return to claim them as your own. Think
W1:105.9 Thus you prepare  yourself to recognize God's gifts to you and let your mind be free of
W1:105.9  Now are you ready to experience the joy and peace you have denied  yourself. Now you can say, “God's peace and joy are mine,” for you
W1:105.10  joy be lifted up, and what is yours can come to you at last. So tell  yourself “God's peace and joy are mine,” and close your eyes a while,
W1:105.12  you to deny God's gift to him, see it as but another chance to let  yourself receive the gifts of God as yours. Then bless your brother
W1:106.5 Prepare  yourself for miracles today. Today allow your Father's ancient pledge
W1:106.12  choice to hear and to receive the Word by this reminder, given to  yourself as often as is possible today:
W1:107.15 Do not forget your function for today. Each time you tell  yourself with confidence, “Truth will correct all errors in my mind,”
W1:110.1  it is true. Its truth would mean that you have made no changes in  yourself which have reality, nor changed the universe so that what
W1:110.9  waiting your acknowledgment as you. And you are lost and do not know  yourself while He is unacknowledged and unknown.
W1:R3.3  to devote the time to it which you are asked to give. Do not deceive  yourself in this. Unwillingness can be most carefully concealed
W1:R3.7  in perfect faith that you would see their messages and use them for  yourself. Offer them to your mind in that same trust and confidence
W1:121.6  inherent in a mind which cannot sin. As sin was an idea you taught  yourself, forgiveness must be learned by you as well, but from a
W1:121.6  must be learned by you as well, but from a Teacher other than  yourself, who represents the other Self in you. Through Him you learn
W1:121.9  as you learn to see them both as one, we will extend the lesson to  yourself and see that their escape included yours.
W1:121.12  you one with them and they with you. Now have you been forgiven by  yourself.
W1:121.13  to every unforgiving mind, with yours among them. Every hour tell  yourself:
W1:122.5  calling from beyond the doorway, bidding you to enter in and make  yourself at home where you belong.
W1:122.14 Remind  yourself how precious are these gifts with this reminder, which has
W1:123.2  Be glad today in loving thankfulness your Father has not left you to  yourself, nor let you wander in the dark alone. Be grateful He has
W1:124.10  the glass this holy half an hour will hold out to you to look upon  yourself. When you are ready, you will find it there within your mind
W1:124.12  frame that holds the mirror offered you today by hourly repeating to  yourself:
W1:125.5  from Him. He does not cherish the illusions which you hold about  yourself. He knows His Son and wills that he remain as part of Him
W1:125.10 As every hour passes by today, be still a moment and remind  yourself you have a special purpose for this day—in quiet to
W1:126.2  further think that they can sin without affecting your perception of  yourself, while you can judge their sin and yet remain apart from
W1:126.3  claim on your forgiveness. It holds out a gift to him but hardly to  yourself.
W1:126.6  not a means for your release from what you see in someone other than  yourself. It has no power to restore your unity with him to your
W1:126.11 As often as you can, remind  yourself you have a goal today—an aim which makes this day of
W1:126.11  have a goal today—an aim which makes this day of special value to  yourself and all your brothers. Do not let your mind forget this goal
W1:126.11  brothers. Do not let your mind forget this goal for long, but tell  yourself:
W1:128.3  here. For what you value you make part of you as you perceive  yourself. All things you seek to make your value greater in your
W1:128.8  image of the world, refuse to lay this chain upon your mind and tell  yourself with quiet certainty:
W1:131.15 Seek for that door and find it. But before you try to open it, remind  yourself no one can fail who asks to reach the truth, and it is this
W1:131.18  for you and for the world. If you forget this happy fact, remind  yourself with this:
W1:132.6  is pride that argues you have come into a world quite separate from  yourself, impervious to what you think, and quite apart from what you
W1:132.11  the world from every kind of pain is but to change your mind about  yourself. There is no world apart from your ideas because ideas leave
W1:133.17  of Heaven, which swings open as he comes. Should you begin to let  yourself collect some needless burdens or believe you see some
W1:134.3  is there; to overlook the truth in an unfounded effort to deceive  yourself by making an illusion true. This twisted viewpoint but
W1:134.3  that the idea of sin retains as yet upon your mind as you regard  yourself.
W1:134.9  if one brother has received this gift of you, the door is open to  yourself. There is a very simple way to find the door to true
W1:134.17  consider all the evil things you thought of him, and each time ask  yourself “Would I condemn myself for doing this?”
W1:134.18  chains you sought to lay upon your brother which were laid upon  yourself.
W1:134.19  there will be so many times when you forget its meaning and attack  yourself. When this occurs, allow your mind to see through this
W1:134.19  occurs, allow your mind to see through this illusion as you tell  yourself:
W1:135.2  present as you wish. You operate from the belief you must protect  yourself from what is happening because it must contain what
W1:135.26  You give up nothing in these times today when undefended you present  yourself to your Creator as you really are.
W1:135.28  in you and tempt you to engage in weaving plans, remind  yourself this is a special day for learning, and acknowledge it with
W1:136.4 Who but  yourself evaluates a threat, decides escape is necessary, and sets up
W1:136.21  make plans against uncertainties to come, you have again misplaced  yourself, and made a bodily identity which will attack the body, for
W1:136.21  you longer. Do not be confused about what must be healed, but tell  yourself:
W1:137.9  you need undertake to let His laws replace the ones you made to hold  yourself a prisoner to death.
W1:137.10  you from everything that ever caused you pain. And as you let  yourself be healed, you see all those around you or who cross your
W1:138.4  one to make. And even this but seems to be a choice. Do not confuse  yourself with all the doubts that myriad decisions would induce. You
W1:139.2  one who has refused to recognize himself? Only refusal to accept  yourself could make the question seem to be sincere. The only thing
W1:139.3 To be alive and not to know  yourself is to believe that you are really dead. For what is life
W1:139.3  to believe that you are really dead. For what is life except to be  yourself, and what but you can be alive instead? Who is the doubter?
W1:139.5  split your mind into what knows and does not know the truth. You are  yourself. There is no doubt of this, and yet you doubt it. But you do
W1:139.5  you doubt it. But you do not ask what part of you can really doubt  yourself. It cannot really be a part of you that asks this question,
W1:139.6 Atonement remedies the strange idea that it is possible to doubt  yourself and be unsure of what you really are. This is the depth of
W1:139.7  time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is impossible to doubt  yourself and not to be aware of what you are. Only acceptance can be
W1:139.9 Fail not your brothers, or you fail  yourself. Look lovingly on them that they may know that they are part
W1:139.9  not to change reality, but merely to accept the truth about  yourself and go your way rejoicing in the endless Love of God. It is
W1:139.13  the fragile nature of the chains that seem to keep the knowledge of  yourself apart from your awareness, as you say:
W1:R4.10  to be reviewed that day. Then close your eyes and say them slowly to  yourself. There is no hurry now, for you are using time for its
W1:151.5 This thing it speaks of and would yet defend it tells you is  yourself. And you believe that this is so with stubborn certainty.
W1:151.6  completely vanquish. You believe to doubt his vassals is to doubt  yourself. Yet you must learn to doubt their evidence will clear the
W1:151.6  must learn to doubt their evidence will clear the way to recognize  yourself and let the Voice for God alone be Judge of what is worthy
W1:152.15  of God for self-deceptions, and God's Son for your illusions of  yourself.
W1:155.5  although you are indeed. Thus can you serve them while you serve  yourself and set their footsteps on the way which God has opened up
W1:158.10  not difficult to learn if you remember in your brother you but see  yourself. If he be lost in sin, so must you be; if you see light in
W1:158.10  you be; if you see light in him, your sins have been forgiven by  yourself. Each brother whom you meet today provides another chance to
W1:159.2  when you give healing. You accept forgiveness as accomplished in  yourself when you forgive. You recognize your brother as yourself and

W1:160.1  the ways of love. Identify with fear, and you will be a stranger to  yourself. And thus you are unknown to you. What is your Self remains
W1:160.1  to the part of you which thinks that it is real but different from  yourself. Who could be sane in such a circumstance? Who but a madman
W1:160.3  this stranger in to take your place and let you be a stranger to  yourself? No one would let himself be dispossessed so needlessly
W1:166.8  your poverty in exile? He would make you laugh at this perception of  yourself. Where is self-pity then? And what becomes of all the

W1:170.5  attack and must have first conceived of it. Yet you attack outside  yourself and separate your mind from him who is to be attacked with
W1:181.1  in your ability to transcend doubt and lack of sure conviction in  yourself. When you attack a brother, you proclaim that he is limited
W1:185.10  And so do all who seem to seek for dreams. For them as well as for  yourself you ask but this when you make this request with deep
W1:185.10  in the attempt. Help has been given you. And would you not avail  yourself of it by sharing it?
W1:186.6 Arrogance makes an image of  yourself that is not real. It is this image which quails and retreats
W1:186.6  to go beyond all images. You are not weak, as is the image of  yourself. You are not ignorant and helpless. Sin cannot tarnish the
W1:186.12  Who knows all things exactly as they are, or a distorted image of  yourself, confused, bewildered, inconsistent and unsure of
W1:187.3  them. If you are to save the world, you first accept salvation for  yourself. But you will not believe that this is done until you see
W1:187.6 Never forget you give but to  yourself. Who understands what giving means must laugh at the idea of
W1:188.6  honest thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside  yourself, become the holy messengers of God Himself. These thoughts
W1:189.7  concepts you have learned about the world, all images you hold about  yourself. Empty your mind of everything it thinks is either true or
W1:190.5  mind can hurt or injure you in any way. There is no cause beyond  yourself that can reach down and bring oppression. No one but
W1:190.5  beyond yourself that can reach down and bring oppression. No one but  yourself affects you. There is nothing in the world which has the
W1:191.2  and this is what remains. You look on chaos and proclaim it as  yourself. There is no sight that fails to witness this to you. There

W1:191.7 Be glad today how very easily is hell undone. You need but tell  yourself:
W1:191.11 You who perceive  yourself as weak and frail, with futile hopes and devastated dreams,
W1:191.13  free. They cannot see the mercy of the world until you find it for  yourself. They suffer pain until you have denied its hold on you.
W1:193.12 God would not have you suffer thus. He would help you forgive  yourself. His Son does not remember who he is. And God would have him
W1:195.3  but try to bring him down to lie in death with you, as useless as  yourself, as little left within his grasping fingers as in yours.
W1:196.1  understood and kept in full awareness, you will not attempt to harm  yourself nor make your body slave to vengeance. You will not attack
W1:196.1  yourself nor make your body slave to vengeance. You will not attack  yourself, and you will realize that to attack another is but to
W1:196.1  and you will realize that to attack another is but to attack  yourself. You will be free of the insane belief that to attack a
W1:196.1  You will be free of the insane belief that to attack a brother saves  yourself. And you will understand his safety is your own, and in his
W1:196.5  hopeless thought that you can make attacks on others and escape  yourself has nailed you to the cross. Perhaps it seemed to be
W1:196.6  if you accept the fearful thought you can attack another and be free  yourself. Until this form is changed, there is no hope. Until you see
W1:196.10  to be an enemy outside you had to fear. And thus a god outside  yourself became your mortal enemy—the source of fear.

W1:197.2  Deny your strength, and weakness must become salvation to you. See  yourself as bound, and bars become your home. Nor will you leave the

W1:199.1 Freedom must be impossible as long as you perceive a body as  yourself. The body is a limit. Who would seek for freedom in a body

W2:240.1 Fear is deception. It attests that you have seen  yourself as you could never be and therefore look upon a world which
W2:240.1  in which it may appear. It witnesses but to your own illusions of  yourself. Let us not be deceived today. We are the Son of God. There
W2:253.2 You are the Self Whom You created Son, creating like  Yourself and one with You. My Self, Which rules the universe, is but
W2:264.1  Love Which holds all things within Itself. Father, Your Son is like  Yourself. We come to You in Your own Name today, to be at peace

M:7.6  you are has entered your mind, and you have become deceived about  yourself. And you are deceived about yourself, because you have

M:11.2 Again we come to the question of judgment. This time, ask  yourself whether your judgment or the Word of God is more likely to

M:15.3  still your goal—why you are here. It is your function to prepare  yourself to hear this judgment and to recognize that it is true. One
M:15.3  out of time can bring time's end. Judge not, for you but judge  yourself and thus delay this Final Judgment. What is your judgment on
M:15.3  you yet learned to stand aside and hear the Voice of Judgment in  yourself? Or do you still attempt to take His role from Him? Learn to
M:16.6  things are freed within it. You think you made a place of safety for  yourself. You think you made a power that can save you from all the

M:23.3  for help? What did he say about this? Remember his promises, and ask  yourself honestly whether it is likely that he will fail to keep
M:23.5  for love, but only that he might give it to you. You do not love  yourself. But in his eyes your loveliness is so complete and flawless
M:27.7  God is guiltless now and forever. Nothing but this. But do not let  yourself forget it is not less than this.
M:29.3  is obvious. To follow the Holy Spirit's guidance is to let  yourself be absolved of guilt. It is the essence of the Atonement. It

Tx:6.8  demonstrated only through joint decision. You are free to perceive  yourselves as persecuted if you choose. You might remember, however,
Tx:6.9  truth in you, and know that it cannot be assailed. Do not protect it  yourselves, or you have believed that it is assailable. You are not
Tx:6.14  you are never called on to sacrifice. On the contrary, by enabling  yourselves to hear the Holy Spirit in others, you can learn from

Tx:6.32  enables you to perceive this wholeness now. You can no more pray for  yourselves alone than you can find joy for yourself alone. Prayer is
Tx:6.40  what is not true. From this, which you have made, you have taught  yourselves to believe that you are not what you are. You cannot teach

Tx:7.107  that there is no order of difficulty in miracles, you will convince  yourselves that in your natural state there is no difficulty, because
Tx:7.109  you can be happy. You cannot make it any more than you can make  yourselves. It has been created for you, as you were created for it.

Tx:7.112 You do not know  yourselves, because you do not know your Creator. You do not know
Tx:7.112  creations, because you do not know their creator. You do not know  yourselves, because you do not know yours.
Tx:8.5  Atonement is the opposite of the curriculum you have established for  yourselves, but so is its outcome. If the outcome of yours has made
Tx:8.21  cannot be found alone, and you who are the Kingdom cannot find  yourselves alone.
Tx:8.33  means that you have imprisoned yours and have not let it be free. Of  yourselves you can do nothing, because of yourselves you are nothing.
Tx:8.33  not let it be free. Of yourselves you can do nothing, because of  yourselves you are nothing. I am nothing without the Father, and you
Tx:8.43  of which is true is not yours. If it were, you would have destroyed  yourselves. Yet God did not will the destruction of His creations,
Tx:8.43  having created them for eternity. His Will has saved you, not from  yourselves, but from your illusions of yourselves. He has saved you

Tx:8.68 Do not allow  yourselves to suffer from the results of what is not true. Free your
Tx:8.94  to sacrifice anything. But if you ask the sacrifice of reality of  yourselves, the Holy Spirit must remind you that this is not God's
Tx:9.79  my merit that I contribute to you but my love, for you do not value  yourselves. When you do not value yourself, you become sick, but my
Tx:9.96  without the Father, Who alone is his help. We said before that of  yourselves you can do nothing, but you are not of yourselves. If you
Tx:9.96  before that of yourselves you can do nothing, but you are not of  yourselves. If you were, what you have made would be true, and you
Tx:9.97 It is because you did not make  yourselves that you need be troubled by nothing. Your gods are
Tx:9.103  the joy which was created for you for the misery you have made for  yourselves. God has given you the means for undoing what you have
Tx:9.107  eternity, you must learn to look only on the eternal. If you allow  yourselves to become preoccupied with the temporal, you are living in
Tx:10.23  if you did you could never have grown weary. Unless you have hurt  yourselves, you could never suffer in any way, for that is not God's
Tx:10.72  already. You have made many ideas which you have placed between  yourselves and your Creator, and these beliefs are the world as you
Tx:10.77  against truth. You made the problem which God has answered. Ask  yourselves, therefore, but one simple question—
Tx:10.88  my children, are afraid of your brothers and of your Father and of  yourselves. But you are merely deceived in them.
Tx:11.7  Do not attempt to “help” a brother in your way, for you cannot help  yourselves. But hear his call for the help of God, and you will
Tx:11.17  your heads under the covers of the heavy blankets you have laid upon  yourselves. You are hiding your nightmares in the darkness of your
Tx:11.32  and which is the symbol of death. For if you could really separate  yourselves from the Mind of God, you would die, and the world you

Tx:11.73  only by judging as He does, reserving no judgment at all unto  yourselves. For you will judge against yourselves, but He will judge
Tx:11.73  no judgment at all unto yourselves. For you will judge against  yourselves, but He will judge for you.
Tx:11.79  unless He had given you a way to remember, you would have condemned  yourselves to oblivion.
Tx:11.81  the insane desire to control reality. You who cannot even control  yourselves should hardly aspire to control the universe. But look
Tx:11.82  Christ is invisible to you because of what you have made visible to  yourselves. Yet it does not matter how much distance you have tried
Tx:11.90  ego has no life, and God's Son is without guilt. As you look upon  yourselves and judge what you do honestly, as you have been asked to
Tx:11.94 When you have accepted the Atonement for  yourselves, you will realize that there is no guilt in God's Son. And
Tx:12.69  you lose whatever you have gotten in its name. Therefore ask not of  yourselves what you need, for you do not know and your advice unto
Tx:12.74  altars to sacrifice and seek not what you will surely lose. Content  yourselves with what you will as surely keep and be not restless, for
Tx:13.11  and the past, the laws of God must intervene if you would free  yourselves. Atonement stands between them like a lamp that shines so
Tx:13.11  shines so brightly that the chain of darkness in which you bound  yourselves will disappear.
Tx:13.28 You who have been unmerciful unto  yourselves do not remember your Father's Love. And looking without
Tx:13.33  and because of this, I treasure you beyond the value that you set on  yourselves, even unto the worth that God has placed upon you. I love
Tx:13.52  death and murder that your Father shared not with you. You have set  yourselves the task of sharing what cannot be shared. And while you
Tx:13.53  cannot see through it. It deceives you because you chose to deceive  yourselves. Those who choose to be deceived will merely attack direct
Tx:13.65  you. You do not want either alone, for without both, you do not see  yourselves as whole and therefore happy. Yet you are whole only in
Tx:13.75  done to make you worthy of the gift of God. Ask it not therefore of  yourselves. Instead, accept His answer, for He knows that you are
Tx:13.82 You taught  yourselves the most unnatural habit of not communicating with your
Tx:14.2  selves away and valued God so little, hear me speak for Him and for  yourselves. You cannot understand how much your Father loves you, for
Tx:14.20  teach you how to use on your behalf. You who made it to crucify  yourselves must learn of Him how to apply it to the holy cause of
Tx:14.29  was accomplished the instant it was given Him for you. Do not delay  yourselves in your return to peace by wondering how He can fulfill
Tx:14.35  darkened corridors, away from light's center. You may choose to lead  yourselves astray, but you can only be brought together by the Guide
Tx:14.35  truth. They have no opposite, and nothing else can you bestow upon  yourselves.
Tx:14.38  from your Father, for hiding it has cost you knowledge of Him and of  yourselves. The knowledge is safe, but wherein is your safety apart
Tx:14.53  mind, let me assure you that you know nothing of it at all. For of  yourselves you could not know of it. The study of the ego is not the
Tx:14.58  power, and all power is of God. You who have tried to keep power for  yourselves have lost it. You still have the power, but you have
Tx:14.58  awareness of it that you cannot use it. Everything you have taught  yourselves has made your power more and more obscure to you. You know
Tx:14.59  be glad that you are not bound to it forever. For you have taught  yourselves how to imprison the Son of God, a lesson so unthinkable
Tx:14.59  given all power by Him, learn to be powerless? What have you taught  yourselves that you can possibly prefer to keep in place of what you
Tx:14.60  you how to escape forever from everything that you have taught  yourselves in the past by showing you only what you are now. Learning

Tx:14.61  You who have not yet brought all of the darkness you have taught  yourselves unto the light in you can hardly judge the truth and value
Tx:14.64  a lesson so completely different from everything you have taught  yourselves. How would you know? Your part is very simple. You need

Tx:15.42  communication while breaking communication holds value to you. Ask  yourselves honestly, “Would I want to have perfect communication, and
Tx:15.81  not the awareness of your completion and seek not to restore it to  yourselves. Fear not to give redemption over to your Redeemer's love.

Tx:18.26  so long, has not yet been sufficient to give you confidence in  yourselves, so long despised. You go toward love, still hating it and
