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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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