Tx:2.15 | is ultimately reducible to the basic misperception that man has the | ability to usurp the power of God. It can only be emphasized that he |
Tx:2.18 | incapable of being shaken by human errors of any kind. It denies the | ability of anything which is not of God to affect you in any way. |
Tx:2.39 | itself, like the classrooms in which it occurs, is temporary. The | ability to learn has no value when change of understanding is no |
Tx:2.47 | cannot depart entirely from its Creator, Who set the limits on its | ability to miscreate by virtue of its own real purpose. |
Tx:2.54 | which created magic rests on the belief that there is a creative | ability in matter which the mind cannot control. This error can take |

Tx:2.69 | is not willing to look on what he has done to himself. Healing is an | ability lent to man after the separation, before which it was |
Tx:2.69 | unnecessary. Like all aspects of the space-time belief, healing | ability is temporary. However, as long as time persists, healing is |
Tx:2.105 | Who was expressing the same will in His creation. Since creative | ability rests in the mind, everything that man creates is necessarily |
Tx:2.109 | come to understand what is worthy and what is not. After this, their | ability to choose can be directed reasonably. Until this distinction |
Tx:3.39 | is an unconscious level which properly consists only of the miracle | ability and which should be under my direction. There is also a |

Tx:3.46 | The | ability to perceive made the body possible because you must perceive |
Tx:3.51 | are only shadows of his real strengths and that the intrusion of the | ability to perceive, which is inherently judgmental, was introduced |
Tx:3.62 | Judgment always involves rejection. It is not an | ability which emphasizes only the positive aspects of what is judged, |
Tx:3.65 | judgment is virtually intolerable. It is a curious thing that any | ability which is so debilitating should be so deeply cherished. |

Tx:4.74 | ego cannot tolerate. That is because the decision, from which the | ability would naturally develop, would necessarily involve accurate |
Tx:4.79 | not a sign of understanding. It is a symptom of the psychologist's | ability to accept as reasonable a compromise which is clearly |
Tx:4.97 | it was not given. That is why the mind cannot totally lose the | ability to communicate, even though it may refuse to utilize it on |
Tx:5.38 | the interpretations of the ego and the knowledge of the Soul. His | ability to deal with symbols enables Him to work against the ego's |
Tx:5.38 | Him to work against the ego's beliefs in its own language. His equal | ability to look beyond symbols into eternity also enables Him to |
Tx:5.46 | and teach you that only what is loving is true. Truth is beyond your | ability to destroy but entirely within your grasp. It belongs to you |

Tx:7.35 | translated into a way of remembering and not perceived as a separate | ability which opposes an opposite. That is the way in which the ego |
Tx:7.37 | To oppose the pull or the Will of God is not an | ability but a real delusion. The ego believes that it has this |
Tx:7.37 | an ability but a real delusion. The ego believes that it has this | ability and can offer it to you as a gift. You do not want it. It is |

Tx:9.8 | this all learning was made. This is the Holy Spirit's good use of an | ability which you do not need, but which you have made. Give it to |
Tx:9.11 | to do it. The Holy Spirit merely reminds you of what is your natural | ability. By reinterpreting the ability to attack, which you did make, |
Tx:9.11 | reminds you of what is your natural ability. By reinterpreting the | ability to attack, which you did make, into the ability to share, He |
Tx:9.11 | reinterpreting the ability to attack, which you did make, into the | ability to share, He translates what you have made into what God |
Tx:9.70 | you merely accept again what has been made but was rejected. The | ability to accept truth in this world is the perceptual counterpart |
Tx:9.86 | nothingness is merely to judge it correctly, and because of your | ability to evaluate it truly, to let it go. Knowledge cannot dawn on |
Tx:10.9 | because you do not see it, and your closed eyes have not lost the | ability to see. Look upon the glory of His creation, and you will |
Tx:10.11 | limit and without end to learn how much He has given you. Your | ability to accept Him depends on your willingness to give as He |
Tx:11.2 | whole process represents a clear-cut attempt to demonstrate your own | ability to understand what you perceive. This is shown by the fact |

Tx:15.76 | The illusion of the autonomy of the body and its | ability to overcome loneliness is but the working of the ego's plan |
Tx:16.40 | In His link with you lie both His inability to forget and your | ability to remember. In Him are joined your willingness to love and |
Tx:18.17 | is invaded by the illusion of terror. For the dream of your | ability to control reality by substituting a world which you prefer |
Tx:21.26 | made can tell you what you see and feel and place your faith in its | ability to do so, you are denying your Creator and believing that you |
Tx:22.11 | So in each holy relationship is the | ability to communicate instead of separate reborn. Yet a holy |
Tx:22.52 | has been chosen, the mind is used as means whose value lies in its | ability to contrive ways to achieve the body's freedom. Yet freedom |
Tx:26.24 | illusions are but one. And in the recognition this is so lies the | ability to give up all attempts to choose between them and to make |

Tx:12.64 | this distracted world but has seen some glimpses of the other world | about him. Yet while he still lays value on his own, he will deny the |
Tx:12.65 | pain as God Himself, Who watches over him in everything. The world | about him shines with love because God placed him in Himself where |
Tx:12.65 | can never be. In perfect sanity he looks on love, for it is all | about him and within him. He must deny the world of pain the instant |
Tx:12.65 | of love around him. And from this point of safety, he looks quietly | about him and recognizes that the world is one with him. |
Tx:13.2 | quite apparent if you consider this: There is nothing partial | about knowledge. Every aspect is whole, and therefore no aspect is |
Tx:13.64 | with all your thinking. The happy learner cannot feel guilty | about learning. This is so essential to learning that it should never |
Tx:13.76 | not of salvation, for you do not understand it. Make no decisions | about what it is or where it lies, but ask of the Holy Spirit |
Tx:13.80 | and it is done. For His decisions are reflections of what God knows | about you, and in this light, error of any kind becomes impossible. |
Tx:13.90 | Decide that God is right and you are wrong | about yourself. He created you out of Himself but still within Him. |
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:15.28 | you can be content with littleness are the decisions you have made | about yourself. The power and the glory that lie in you from God are |
Tx:15.75 | is not communication. And if you think it is, you will feel guilty | about communication and will be afraid to hear the Holy Spirit, |
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:20.63 | imagined in the darkness, and it is here that the illusions you hold | about him are not held up to his reality. Here are illusions and |
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:21.33 | is he faithless to himself, but strong in faith in his illusions | about himself. For faith, perception, and belief you made as means |
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. |
W1:23.2 | an effect. But there is indeed a point in changing your thoughts | about the world. Here you are changing the cause. The effects will |
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 |

M:23.3 | your own success. Is he still available for help? What did he say | about this? Remember his promises, and ask yourself honestly whether |

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:9.96 | of depression. This was his alternative to joy, because he would not | accept the fact that, although he was a creator, he had been created. |
Tx:9.98 | you. Remember that what you deny, you must have known. And if you | accept denial, you can accept its undoing. |

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:11.88 | is the world you will see. Yet you will not realize this until you | accept the eternal fact that God's Son is not guilty. He deserves |
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:12.19 | Save him from his illusions that you may | accept the magnitude of your Father in peace and joy. But exempt no |
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:13.73 | 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:20.6 | they be truly given and received. For bodies can neither offer nor | accept; hold out nor take. Only the mind can value, and only the mind |
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 |

W1:194.2 | depression, thoughts of sin, and devastation brought about by guilt. | Accept today's idea, and you have released the world from all |

Tx:17.55 | It is just this same discrepancy between the purpose that has been | accepted and the means as they stand now which seems to make you |
Tx:17.74 | every relationship and every situation, seen as a whole. Faith has | accepted every aspect of the situation, and faithlessness has not |

Tx:18.44 | impossible for you to understand. You do not even realize you have | accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose as your own, and you would merely |

Tx:19.77 | from the dedication to death. For it was offered you, and you | accepted. Yet you must learn still more about this strange devotion, |

Tx:10.53 | The ego analyzes; the Holy Spirit | accepts. The appreciation of wholeness comes only through acceptance, |

Tx:10.84 | his mind is split, you will heal yours. Accept him as his Father | accepts him and heal him unto Christ, for Christ is his healing and |

Tx:6.64 | We have too much to | accomplish on behalf of the Kingdom to let this crucial concept slip |

Tx:9.11 | He translates what you have made into what God created. If you would | accomplish this through Him, you cannot look on your abilities |
Tx:10.17 | to join them is your healing accomplished. Every miracle which you | accomplish speaks to you of the Fatherhood of God. Every healing |

Tx:18.68 | undivided loyalty. Believe it for just one instant, and you will | accomplish more than is given to a century of contemplation or of |
Tx:21.37 | to what has been already joined. The faith you give each other can | accomplish this. For He Who loves the world is seeing it for you |
Tx:25.87 | Each miracle is an example of what justice can | accomplish when it is offered to everyone alike. It is received and |

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:13.54 | Holy Spirit needs a happy learner in whom His mission can be happily | accomplished. You who are steadfastly devoted to misery must first |

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:16.47 | 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 |
Tx:21.57 | undoing of insanity. Here was the Holy Spirit's purpose accepted and | accomplished both at once. Reason is alien to insanity, and those who |

W1:72.11 | is to become aware that God's plan for salvation has already been | accomplished in us. To achieve this goal, we must replace attack with |

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 |
W1:183.10 | part you play in its salvation and your own as well, and both can be | accomplished perfectly. |
W1:186.2 | not our idea. The means are given us by which it will be perfectly | accomplished. All that we are asked to do is to accept our part in |

Tx:2.75 | the same. Before you will to do anything, ask me if your will is in | accord with mine. If you are sure that it is, there will be no fear. |
Tx:2.79 | In both cases, the will and the behavior are out of | accord, resulting in a situation in which you are doing what you do |
Tx:3.41 | by definition. It has to be in conflict because it is out of | accord with itself. |
Tx:4.89 | approves my Atonement decisions because my will is never out of | accord with His. I have told you before that I am in charge of the |
Tx:5.86 | that man can be fixated at a point in development which does not | accord with a point in time. This clearly could have been a means |
Tx:5.93 | the perfect correction for everything you have made which is not in | accord with His holy Will. I have made His plan perfectly explicit to |
Tx:6.15 | I must teach as I learned, is that no perception which is out of | accord with the judgment of the Holy Spirit can be justified. I |
Tx:6.82 | enter your mind in the light of what God put there. Whatever is in | accord with this light, He retains to strengthen the Kingdom in you. |
Tx:6.82 | He retains to strengthen the Kingdom in you. What is partly in | accord with truth, He accepts and purifies. But what is out of accord |
Tx:6.82 | in accord with truth, He accepts and purifies. But what is out of | accord entirely, He rejects by judging against. This is how He keeps |
Tx:7.13 | them as different [and] conflicting, because minds can be in perfect | accord. |
Tx:7.36 | the Sonship without this belief. This perception is therefore in | accord with the laws of God, even in a state of mind which is out of |
Tx:7.36 | accord with the laws of God, even in a state of mind which is out of | accord with His. The strength of right perception is so great that it |
Tx:7.36 | of right perception is so great that it brings the mind into | accord with His, because it yields to His pull which is in all of you. |
Tx:7.46 | can be counted on, because it is inspired by His Voice and is in | accord with His laws. Yet if healing is consistence, it cannot be |
Tx:7.46 | that is His meaning, it is also yours. Your meaning cannot be out of | accord with His because your whole meaning, and your only meaning, |
Tx:7.46 | only meaning, comes from His and is like His. God cannot be out of | accord with Himself, and you cannot be out of accord with Him. You |
Tx:7.46 | God cannot be out of accord with Himself, and you cannot be out of | accord with Him. You cannot separate your self from your Creator, Who |
Tx:7.68 | of joy. This is not God's Will but yours. If your will is out of | accord with God's, you are willing without meaning. Yet because God's |
Tx:7.106 | Miracles are in | accord with the Will of God Whose Will you do not know, because you |
Tx:7.107 | therefore natural. The world goes against your nature, being out of | accord with God's laws. The world perceives orders of difficulty in |
Tx:8.10 | you are. The lesson is that your will and God's cannot be out of | accord, because they are one. This is the undoing of everything the |
Tx:8.41 | can obscure the one for which God's Voice speaks in all of us. Never | accord the ego the power to interfere with the journey because it has |

Tx:11.52 | the goal is not divided, and the means and the end are in complete | accord. You need offer only undivided attention. Everything else will |
Tx:14.11 | restore what is the right of God's creation. From everyone whom you | accord release from guilt, you will inevitably learn your innocence. |
Tx:18.28 | your desire lies its accomplishment. Your desire is now in complete | accord with all the power of the Holy Spirit's will. No little, |
Tx:25.23 | will you perceive attack cannot be justified. This is in strict | accord with vision's fundamental law: you see what you believe is |
Tx:25.43 | offers others. For he would only heal and only bless. And being in | accord with what God wills, he has the power to heal and bless all |
Tx:25.77 | of its own. For only love is just and can perceive what justice must | accord the Son of God. Let love decide and never fear that you in |
Tx:27.51 | bring the same results. All healing must proceed in lawful manner in | accord with laws which have been properly perceived but never |
Tx:30.82 | established. And no situation can affect its aim but must be in | accord with it. For only if its aim could change with every situation |
Tx:30.84 | a constant purpose can endow events with stable meaning. But it must | accord one meaning to them all. If they are given different meanings, |
W1:43.11 | if you begin to be aware of thoughts which are clearly out of | accord with today's idea, or if you seem to be unable to think of |
W1:67.4 | Any attribute which is in | accord with God as He defines Himself is appropriate for use. We are |
W1:69.7 | and God Himself will raise you from darkness into light. You are in | accord with His Will. You cannot fail because your will is His. |

Tx:11.51 | merely ridiculous if you look at it. Is it possible that the way to | achieve a goal is not to attain it? Resign now as your own teachers. |
Tx:18.33 | holy instant. Come to it not in arrogance, assuming that you must | achieve the state its coming brings with it. The miracle of the holy |
Tx:20.65 | Spirit offers you to serve His purpose. How can a holy relationship | achieve its purpose through the means of sin? Judgment you taught |
Tx:21.15 | I chose the feelings I experience, and I decided on the goal I would | achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me, I asked for and |
Tx:22.52 | is used as means whose value lies in its ability to contrive ways to | achieve the body's freedom. Yet freedom of the body has no meaning, |
Tx:26.1 | all desperate attempts to strike a bargain, and all conflicts | achieve a seeming balance. It is the symbol of the central theme that |

W1:11.3 | the peace, relaxation, and freedom from worry that we are trying to | achieve. On concluding the exercises, close your eyes and repeat the |
W1:42.1 | relationship which explains why you cannot fail in your efforts to | achieve the goal of the course. You will see because it is the Will |
W1:72.11 | God's plan for salvation has already been accomplished in us. To | achieve this goal, we must replace attack with acceptance. As long as |
W1:127.6 | course requests in your advance toward its established goal. If you | achieve the faintest glimmering of what love means today, you have |

W1:158.8 | This can be taught and must be taught by all who would | achieve it. It requires but the recognition that the world cannot |

Tx:4.11 | goal of the parent, teacher, and therapist. This goal will not be | achieved by those who believe that they will lose their child or |
Tx:6.52 | and also of yours. Accomplishments are results which have been | achieved. When they are perfect, abilities are meaningless. It is |
Tx:8.71 | of every end that the ego has accepted as its own. When you have | achieved it, it has not satisfied you. This is why the ego is forced |
Tx:8.108 | is. This accounts for why certain specific forms of healing are not | achieved, even though the state of healing is. It frequently happens |
Tx:18.66 | desire it. Many have spent a lifetime in preparation and have indeed | achieved their instants of success. This course does not attempt to |
Tx:18.67 | into the mind given to contemplation; or when the goal is finally | achieved by anyone, it always comes with just one happy realization: |
Tx:19.56 | die instead of you. To the ego sin means death, and so Atonement is | achieved through murder. Salvation is looked upon as a way by which |

Tx:27.12 | The simple way to let this be | achieved is merely this—to let the body have no purpose from the |

Tx:30.28 | which will protect you from the ravages of fear. When this has been | achieved, the sorry dream of judgment has forever been undone. But |
Tx:30.72 | it had a real foundation, pardon would have none. The real world is | achieved when you perceive the basis of forgiveness is quite real and |
W1:131.1 | Failure is all about you while you seek for goals that cannot be | achieved. You look for permanence in the impermanent, for love where |
W1:132.2 | Yet is salvation easily | achieved, for anyone is free to change his mind, and all his thoughts |

W2:WIHS.2 | those of love. And when this is entirely accomplished, learning has | achieved the only goal it has in truth. For learning, as the Holy |
M:4.11 | All other traits of God's teachers rest on trust. Once that has been | achieved, the others cannot fail to follow. Only the trusting can |
M:4.24 | gone. No clouds remain to hide the face of Christ. Now is the goal | achieved. Forgiveness is the final goal of the curriculum. It paves |

M:4.10 | And finally, there is a “period of | achievement.” It is here that learning is consolidated. Now what was |

M:25.3 | will delay progress. Nor does their value lie in proving anything— | achievements from the past, unusual attunement with the “unseen,” or |
achieving (5) | ||
Tx:1.102 | limited or defined by what you want it to do. Relating is a way of | achieving an outcome. The danger of defenses lies in their propensity |
W1:66.1 | lessons on the connection between fulfilling your function and | achieving happiness. This is because you do not really see the |
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 |
M:4.21 | really deserves the name. Yet each degree, however small, is worth | achieving. Readiness, as the text notes, is not mastery. |

aching (2) | ||
Tx:12.61 | old and tired and ready to return to dust even as you made it. This | aching world has not the power to touch the living world at all. You |

Tx:1.58 | error can proceed. Truth is always abundant. Those who perceive and | acknowledge that they have everything have no need for driven |
Tx:5.34 | both of you as you become aware of the Call for God in him and thus | acknowledge its being. There are two ways of seeing your brother |
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:7.97 | know. That is true in a sense, but no more true than your failure to | acknowledge the whole result of the ego's premises. The Kingdom is |
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:8.25 | and joy, unless you experience only this you must be refusing to | acknowledge His Will. His Will does not vacillate, being changeless |
Tx:8.32 | can oppose His. God gave your will its power, which I can only | acknowledge in honor of His. If you want to be like me, I will help |
Tx:9.100 | the God of love, for healing is the acknowledgment of Him. When you | acknowledge Him, you will know that He has never ceased to |
Tx:9.100 | When you acknowledge Him, you will know that He has never ceased to | acknowledge you and that in His acknowledgment of you lies your |
Tx:9.101 | you, you will be incapable of suffering. Yet to do this, you must | acknowledge Him as your Creator. This is not because you will be |
Tx:14.68 | That is impossible. But be sure that you are willing to | acknowledge that it is impossible. It is only because you think that |
Tx:15.44 | readiness for purity He offers you. Thus will He make you ready to | acknowledge that you are host to God and hostage to no one and |
Tx:16.14 | Spirit and in the effects of His teaching if you were not afraid to | acknowledge what He taught you. For this acknowledgment means that |
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 |
Tx:22.39 | way is decided. There will be nothing you will not be told if you | acknowledge this. |
Tx:28.40 | by your claim on brotherhood and not on dreams of fear. Let him | acknowledge who he is by not supporting his illusions by your faith, |
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 |
M:29.5 | himself. Yet to accept the power given him by God is but to | acknowledge his Creator and accept His gifts. And His gifts have no |
acknowledged (11) | ||
Tx:7.111 | only equally. If you recognize His gift in anyone else, you have | acknowledged what He has given you. Nothing is as easy to perceive as |
Tx:8.15 | bring the acknowledgment automatically to everyone, because you have | acknowledged everyone. By your recognition you awaken theirs, and |
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:13.86 | Grant it to him, and you will see the truth of what you have | acknowledged. Yet truth is offered first to be received, even as God |
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. |
W1:197.4 | In your gratitude are they accepted universally and thankfully | acknowledged by the Heart of God Himself. And would you take them |

Tx:1.43 | belongs. Eternal reality belongs only to the Soul, and the miracle | acknowledges only the truth. It thus dispels man's illusions about |
Tx:1.59 | 41. The miracle | acknowledges all men as your brothers and mine. It is a way of |
Tx:3.68 | more tenable than the view that they created themselves. At least it | acknowledges the fact that some true authorship is necessary for |
Tx:9.77 | of God even if he believes in it, for your acceptance of God in him | acknowledges the love of God which he has forgotten. Your recognition |
Tx:14.9 | The miracle | acknowledges the guiltlessness which must have been denied to produce |

Tx:17.2 | have accomplished what you wish. This strange position in a sense | acknowledges your power. Yet by distorting it and devoting it to |
Tx:20.5 | proclaims his worthlessness to you, as his acceptance and delight | acknowledges the lack of value he places on himself. |
Tx:28.27 | of sickness to its cause. The body is released because the mind | acknowledges “this is not done to me, but I am doing this.” And thus |
W1:135.21 | Without defenses, you become a light which Heaven gratefully | acknowledges to be its own. And it will lead you on in ways appointed |
W1:185.7 | can succeed where all the rest have failed. To mean these words | acknowledges illusions are in vain, requesting the eternal in the |

Tx:2.18 | When you are afraid of anything, you are | acknowledging its power to hurt you. Remember that where your heart |

Tx:6.89 | yourselves to have in your minds only what God put there, you are | acknowledging your mind as God created it. Therefore, you are |
Tx:7.44 | and only the conflict-free are whole. By accepting exceptions and | acknowledging that he can sometimes heal and sometimes not, the |
Tx:7.112 | Him. Whenever you heal a brother by recognizing his worth, you are | acknowledging his power to create and yours. He cannot have lost what |
Tx:9.25 | darkness as the psychotherapist does or like the theologian, by | acknowledging darkness in yourself and looking for a distant light to |
W1:53.4 | I will escape all the effects of the world of fear because I am | acknowledging that it does not exist. |
W1:63.3 | be happy to remember it very often today. We will begin the day by | acknowledging it and close the day with the thought of it in our |
W1:138.12 | to maintaining sanity. And finally we close the day with this, | acknowledging we chose but what we want: |
W1:152.9 | it arrogant. Only the ego can be arrogant. But truth is humble in | acknowledging its mightiness, its changelessness, and its eternal |
W1:158.8 | today—see no one as a body. Greet him as the Son of God he is, | acknowledging that he is one with you in holiness. |

Tx:16.14 | if you were not afraid to acknowledge what He taught you. For this | acknowledgment means that what has happened you do not understand but |
Tx:18.96 | it not. Learning is useless in the Presence of your Creator, Whose | acknowledgment of you and yours of Him so far transcend all learning |
Tx:19.11 | of fear, as much a part of love as fear is of attack. Faith is the | acknowledgment of union. It is the gracious acknowledgment of |

Tx:19.35 | shining on both of you. And you will shine upon each other in glad | acknowledgment of the grace that has been given you. For sin will not |
Tx:19.45 | a hush in Heaven, a happy expectancy, a little pause of gladness in | acknowledgment of the journey's end. For Heaven knows you well, as |
Tx:24.49 | See in him God's creation. For in him, his Father waits for your | acknowledgment that He created you as part of Him. |
Tx:24.63 | in him is changeless, and your changelessness is recognized in its | acknowledgment. The holiness in you belongs to him. And by your |

W1:61.8 | and end the day with a practice period. Thus you will awaken with an | acknowledgment of the truth about yourself, reinforce it throughout |
W1:76.14 | our statement of freedom from all danger and all tyranny. It is our | acknowledgment that God is our Father and that His Son is saved. |
W1:95.20 | within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace. Your own | acknowledgment you are One Self, united with your Father, is a call |
W1:110.9 | not today. Deep in your mind the holy Christ in you is waiting your | acknowledgment as you. And you are lost and do not know yourself |

Tx:1.89 | there was no point in being told how to achieve it. No learning is | acquired by anyone unless he wants to learn it and believes in some |
Tx:13.48 | must be so. The knowledge is not taught, but its conditions must be | acquired, for it is they that have been thrown away. You can learn to |

W1:121.6 | Forgiveness is | acquired. It is not inherent in a mind which cannot sin. As sin was |
M:4.1 | stages of their functioning as teachers of God have they as yet | acquired the deeper characteristics that will establish them as what |
acquires (1) | ||
M:4.23 | perhaps the last of the attributes the teacher of God | acquires, is easily understood when its relation to forgiveness is |
across (55) | ||
Tx:4.86 | ever can. The gap is then so small that knowledge can easily flow | across it and obliterate it forever. You have very little trust in me |
Tx:5.11 | perception, which is so close to truth that God Himself can flow | across the little gap. Knowledge is always ready to flow everywhere, |
Tx:11.12 | love, which was its only purpose. The mask which you have drawn | across the face of love has disappeared. |
Tx:12.55 | you of your Father and His Holy Son. Light is unlimited and spreads | across this world in quiet joy. All those you brought with you will |
Tx:12.75 | offered but to take away. And we will spread it like a veil of light | across the world's sad face, in which we hide our brothers from the |
Tx:14.49 | pattern which never rests and is never still. It shifts unceasingly | across the mirror of your mind, and the reflections of Heaven last |
Tx:14.49 | and alternating patterns of light and darkness sweep constantly | across your minds. |
Tx:15.62 | happens that has not always been. Only the veil that has been drawn | across reality is lifted. Nothing has changed. Yet the awareness of |
Tx:16.28 | between his selves. Each one builds this bridge which carries him | across the gap as soon as he is willing to expend some little effort |
Tx:16.29 | stand on the other side and wait for you will not draw you safely | across. For you will come where you would be and where your Self |
Tx:16.38 | Across the bridge is your completion, for you will be wholly in God, | |
Tx:16.42 | completion seem to be possible. The bridge that He would carry you | across lifts you from time into eternity. Waken from time and answer |
Tx:16.42 | to timelessness you understand nothing. But as you step lightly | across it, upheld by timelessness, you are directed straight to the |
Tx:16.63 | Across the bridge, it is so different! For a time the body is still | |
Tx:16.68 | of where Heaven is. From here it seems to be outside and | across the bridge. Yet as you cross to join it, it will join with you |
Tx:17.12 | vision and lets you see the real world reaching quietly and gently | across chaos and removing all illusions which had twisted your |
Tx:18.80 | garden and receive their blessing there. So will it grow and stretch | across the desert, leaving no lonely little kingdoms locked away from |
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:19.77 | for it contains the third of the obstacles which peace must flow | across. No one can die unless he chooses death. What seems to be the |
Tx:19.77 | out. And so it is with death. Made by the ego, its dark shadow falls | across all living things because the ego is the “enemy” of life. |
Tx:19.84 | The obstacle of your seeming love for death that peace must flow | across seems to be very great. For in it lies hidden all the ego's |
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:26.36 | longer is. And who can stand upon a distant shore and dream himself | across an ocean to a place and time that have long since gone by? How |
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 |
Tx:29.3 | The fear of God! The greatest obstacle that peace must flow | across has not yet gone. The rest are past, but this one still |
Tx:29.55 | This world of idols is a veil | across the face of Christ because its purpose is to separate your |
Tx:30.64 | How light and easy is the step | across the narrow boundaries of the world of fear when you have |

M:4.21 | life to bring to his learning while keeping others apart? If so, his | advancement is limited and his trust not yet firmly established. |
advances (5) | ||
Tx:18.41 | distinguish between advance and retreat. Some of your greatest | advances you have judged as failures, and some of your deepest |

W1:R3.13 | This second chance with each of these ideas will bring such large | advances that we come from these reviews with learning gains so great |
M:9.2 | As the teacher of God | advances in his training, he learns one lesson with increasing |

Tx:2.41 | making it unnecessary for him to keep retracing his steps without | advancing to his return. In this sense the Atonement saves time but, |
Tx:18.26 | not afraid of love, but only of what you have made of it. You are | advancing to love's meaning and away from all illusions in which you |

Tx:4.74 | chosen because their value will not last. The ego thinks it is an | advantage not to commit itself to anything that is eternal because |
Tx:9.21 | does not have the answer to the problem of healing. There is an | advantage to bringing nightmares into awareness, but only to teach |
Tx:31.55 | rise to them. Nor can this be explained by either view. The main | advantage of the shifting to the second from the first is that you |

M:29.3 | There is another | advantage—and a very important one—in referring decisions to the |

Tx:5.86 | The concept of fixation as Freud saw it has a number of learning | advantages. First, it recognizes that man can be fixated at a point |

W1:95.4 | of every waking hour for practicing the idea for the day has special | advantages at the stage of learning in which you are at present. It |
W1:95.5 | Frequent but shorter practice periods have other | advantages for you at this time. In addition to recognizing your |

Tx:11.5 | It is surely good | advice to tell you not to judge what you do not understand. No one |
Tx:12.69 | ask not of yourselves what you need, for you do not know and your | advice unto yourself will hurt you. For what you think you need will |
Tx:13.35 | Forgetfulness and sleep and even death become the ego's best | advice for how to deal with the perceived and harsh intrusion of |
Tx:30.30 | counsel you have sought perceives your happiness. You always ask | advice before you can decide on anything. Let this be understood, and |

W1:44.8 | While no particular form of approach is | advocated, what is needful is a sense of the importance of what you |
advocates (2) | ||
Tx:10.80 | has been very specific, and you have not done what it specifically | advocates. This is not a course in the play of ideas, but in their |
M:24.3 | in his premature acceptance of the course merely because it | advocates a long-held belief of his own. |
advocating (2) | ||
Tx:5.49 | Your concept lacked the idea of undoing it. What you were really | advocating, then, was adopting a policy of sharing without a real |
W1:181.4 | preoccupied with how extremely different the goals this course is | advocating are from those you held before. And you have also been |

Tx:2.53 | entails the belief that what is amiss in one level can adversely | affect another. We have constantly referred to miracles as the means |
Tx:5.1 | with sorrow. Depression is often contagious but, although it may | affect those who come in contact with it, they do not yield to the |
Tx:5.70 | results of this decision at that time. Any decision of the mind will | affect both behavior and experience. What you will, you expect. This |

Tx:9.90 | gods you attempt to interpose between yourself and your reality | affect truth at all. Peace is yours because God created you. And He |
Tx:21.51 | perfectly aware of this. And thus It recognizes that miracles do not | affect another's mind, only Its own. [They always change your mind.] |
Tx:26.34 | for anything to notice it had come. What disappeared too quickly to | affect the simple knowledge of the Son of God can hardly still be |
Tx:26.37 | he is now? And how much can his own delusions about time and place | affect a change in where he really is? The unforgiven is a voice that |
Tx:26.49 | it is needed. Yet because it is of God, the laws of time do not | affect its workings. It is in this world, but not a part of it. For |
Tx:30.82 | as with one purpose, changelessly established. And no situation can | affect its aim but must be in accord with it. For only if its aim |
Tx:31.69 | thoughts have been forgiven with his, because you let them all | affect you not. No longer did you choose that you should be the sign |
W1:19.1 | The idea for today is obviously the reason why your seeing does not | affect you alone. You will notice that at times the ideas related to |

W2:227.1 | from You exists. And I am free because I was mistaken and did not | affect my own reality at all by my illusions. Now I give them up and |
W2:WISC.4 | The Second Coming is the one event in time which time itself cannot | affect. For everyone who ever came to die or yet will come or who is |
M:8.5 | a shout? And do the number of pitchforks the devils he sees carrying | affect their credibility in his perception? His Mind has categorized |
affected (3) | ||
Tx:19.29 | but as you approach the line, you realize that it was not | affected by the drop into another plane at all. Yet from the plane, |
W1:52.2 | and thus regard reality as an illusion. Nothing in God's creation is | affected in any way by this confusion of mine. I am always upset by |
W1:91.1 | your failure to see. It is only your awareness of miracles that is | affected. You will see them in the light; you will not see them in |

Tx:28.64 | This world is but the dream that you can be alone and think without | affecting those apart from you. To be alone must mean you are apart, |

W1:190.5 | that can reach down and bring oppression. No one but yourself | affects you. There is nothing in the world which has the power to |
affirm (3) | ||
Tx:1.41 | perfection. They heal because they deny body-identification and | affirm Soul-identification. By perceiving the spirit, they adjust the |
Tx:13.16 | See no one, then, as guilty, and you will | affirm the truth of guiltlessness unto yourself. In every |
W1:95.12 | This is the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will | affirm this truth again and try to reach the place in you in which |
affirmation (6) | ||
Tx:1.65 | Otherwise, there has been a confusion of levels. Death is a human | affirmation of a belief in “[hate],” or level confusion. That is why |
Tx:2.23 | in the Atonement is one of true projection; I can project to you the | affirmation of truth. If you project error to me or to yourself, you |
Tx:3.7 | 4. The miracle is always a denial of this error and an | affirmation of the truth. Only right-mindedness can create in a way |
Tx:3.31 | True perception is the basis for knowledge, but knowing is the | affirmation of truth. All your difficulties ultimately stem from the |
Tx:6.79 | is really only a thought reversal. The second step is a positive | affirmation of what you want. This, then, is a step in the direction |
Tx:11.12 | By interpreting fear correctly as a positive | affirmation of the underlying belief it masks, you are undermining |
affirmations (2) | ||
Tx:1.13 | and endings. They thus alter the temporal order. They are always | affirmations of rebirth which seem to go back but really go forward. |
Tx:1.68 | Miracles are | affirmations of Sonship, which is a state of completion and |
affirming (5) | ||
Tx:1.41 | praise God through men. They praise God by honoring His creations, | affirming their perfection. They heal because they deny |
Tx:2.65 | constructive and that their miscreations cannot hurt them. By | affirming this, the miracle worker releases the mind from |
Tx:3.45 | it derives its whole power to create. Even in miscreation will is | affirming its Source or it would merely cease to be. This is |
Tx:4.2 | If you speak from the ego, you are disclaiming knowledge instead of | affirming it and are thus dispiriting yourself. Do not embark on |
Tx:7.90 | that you can be alone, thus dispelling the idea of separation and | affirming your true identification with the whole Kingdom as |

Tx:7.57 | guaranteeing that you will not know your own safety. The ego cannot | afford to know anything. Knowledge is total, and the ego does not |
W1:41.9 | You can indeed | afford to laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you |
M:4.11 | achieved, the others cannot fail to follow. Only the trusting can | afford honesty, for only they can see its value. Honesty does not |
M:4.20 | Those who are certain of the outcome can | afford to wait, and wait without anxiety. Patience is natural to the |

W1:186.5 | cling to words, afraid to go beyond them to experience which might | affront their stance. Yet are the humble free to hear the Voice which |
afraid (190) | ||
Tx:2.15 | interpret the light itself as a part of his own dream and be | afraid of it. However, when he awakens the light is correctly |
Tx:2.18 | When you are | afraid of anything, you are acknowledging its power to hurt you. |
Tx:2.18 | also. This means that you believe in what you value. If you are | afraid, you are valuing wrongly. Human understanding will inevitably |
Tx:2.20 | not be shaken and would be unable to be deceived. Whenever you are | afraid, you are deceived. Your mind is not serving the Soul. This |
Tx:2.21 | is capable of injustice if that is what his mind creates. You are | afraid of God's Will because you have used your own will, which He |
Tx:2.62 | the mind. Physical medications are forms of “spells.” Those who are | afraid to use the mind to heal should not attempt to do so. The very |
Tx:2.62 | to heal should not attempt to do so. The very fact that they are | afraid has made them vulnerable to miscreation. They are therefore |
Tx:2.67 | sight. The reason this so often entails fear is because man is | afraid of what his Spiritual eye will see. We said before that the |
Tx:2.74 | soon as you place what you think under my guidance. Whenever you are | afraid, it is a sure sign that you have allowed your mind to |
Tx:2.87 | by the Atonement. It is obvious, then, that when you are | afraid you have placed yourself in a position where you need |
Tx:2.90 | their thoughts cannot exert real control, because they are literally | afraid of them. Many psychotherapists attempt to help people who are |
Tx:2.90 | afraid of them. Many psychotherapists attempt to help people who are | afraid, say, of their death wishes by depreciating the power of the |
Tx:2.91 | that what you think is ineffectual you may cease to be overly | afraid of it, but you are hardly likely to respect it. |
Tx:2.92 | is full of examples of how man has depreciated himself because he is | afraid of his own thoughts. In some forms of insanity, thoughts are |
Tx:2.92 | All thinking produces form at some level. The reason people are | afraid of ESP and so often react against it is because they know that |
Tx:2.95 | By choosing the miracle, you have rejected fear. You have been | afraid of God, of me, of yourselves, and of practically everyone you |
Tx:2.95 | what you have made. You would never have done this if you were not | afraid of your own thoughts. The vulnerable are essentially |
Tx:3.12 | number of my would-be followers, has led many people to be bitterly | afraid of God. This particularly anti-religious concept enters into |
Tx:3.36 | know him. It is because you have made him a stranger that you are | afraid of him. Perceive him correctly so that you can know him. Right |
Tx:3.42 | in which attack is always possible. Man has every reason to feel | afraid as he perceives himself. This is why he cannot escape from |
Tx:4.12 | all. If you perceive a teacher as merely a “larger ego,” you will be | afraid because to enlarge an ego is to increase separation anxiety. I |
Tx:4.15 | reach of your ego but within easy reach of your Soul. When you are | afraid, be still and know that God is real and you are His beloved |
Tx:4.16 | responsibility which you are not meeting. You know this, and you are | afraid. In fact, your egos have chosen to be afraid instead of |
Tx:4.16 | know this, and you are afraid. In fact, your egos have chosen to be | afraid instead of meeting it. When you awaken you will not be able to |
Tx:4.17 | and you cannot avoid Him any more than He can avoid you. The ego is | afraid of the Soul's joy because, once you have experienced it, you |
Tx:4.54 | means the ego does not exist and which therefore makes it profoundly | afraid. In the ego's language, remember, “to have” and “to be” are |
Tx:4.104 | tolerate ego weakness either without ambivalence because it is | afraid of its own weakness as well as the weakness of its chosen |
Tx:5.74 | it as fearful, it interprets it fearfully. Having made you | afraid, you do not appeal to the Higher Court, because you believe |
Tx:5.83 | perfectly. Unfortunately, he lost his understanding because he was | afraid and, as you know all too well, fear is incompatible with good |
Tx:5.84 | what fixation really means and yet does not yield to it is terribly | afraid. |
Tx:6.24 | appreciate, and fear makes appreciation impossible. Whenever you are | afraid of what you are, you do not appreciate it and will therefore |
Tx:6.47 | obscure the question, because you have the answer and the ego is | afraid of you. You cannot understand the conflict until you fully |
Tx:6.48 | based on separation. If you side with this alliance, you will be | afraid, because you are siding with an alliance of fear. |
Tx:6.55 | you made with the truth He created for you, what could you be but | afraid? You would doubt your sanity, which is the one thing in which |
Tx:6.58 | sleeping and waking, so that they will understand they need not be | afraid of dreams. Then when bad dreams come, they will call on the |
Tx:6.59 | that you will escape from harm and be safe, and then you will not be | afraid.” All of this could be included in only three words: “Do only |
Tx:7.86 | who project from the ego are vigilant for their own safety. They are | afraid that their projections will return and hurt them. They do |
Tx:7.88 | Do not be | afraid of the ego. It does depend on your mind and, as you made it by |
Tx:8.11 | attempt to learn it is a violation of your own freedom and makes you | afraid of your will because it is free. The Holy Spirit opposes any |
Tx:8.90 | were already profoundly split, making it possible for the mind to be | afraid of what it really is. It is apparent that reality cannot |
Tx:8.90 | you are, is perceived as fearful to you demonstrates that you are | afraid of what you are. It is not, then, the Will of God of which you |
Tx:8.90 | of what you are. It is not, then, the Will of God of which you are | afraid, but yours. Your will is not the ego's, and that is why the |
Tx:8.95 | be when you ask for what you do not want? Yet as long as you are | afraid of your will, this is precisely what you will ask for. You may |
Tx:8.96 | You do not ask only for what you want. This is solely because you are | afraid you might receive it, and you would. That is really why you |
Tx:8.108 | of the Holy Spirit is what you really want, but you are still | afraid of it. Should this be the case, your attainment of it would no |
Tx:9.39 | so obvious that it is often overlooked. That is because the ego is | afraid of the obvious since obviousness is the essential |
Tx:9.52 | because you did not make it. You have made grandiosity and are | afraid of it because it is a form of attack, but your grandeur is of |
Tx:9.58 | Ask the Holy Spirit what it is and He will tell you, but do not be | afraid of His answer, for it comes from God. It is an exalted answer |
Tx:9.68 | replaced your knowledge by an awareness of dreams because you are | afraid of your dissociation, not of what you have dissociated. Even |
Tx:9.73 | against God and His Kingdom. And it is this vigilance that makes you | afraid to remember Him. |
Tx:9.75 | your power to help them, because He has given it to you. Do not be | afraid of it, because it is your salvation. What Comforter can there |
Tx:9.78 | Is this the image you would be vigilant to save? [Are you really | afraid of losing this?] Look calmly at the logical conclusion of the |
Tx:9.82 | Very simply, then, you may believe you are | afraid of nothingness, but you are really afraid of nothing. And in |
Tx:9.82 | you may believe you are afraid of nothingness, but you are really | afraid of nothing. And in that awareness you are healed. You will |
Tx:9.85 | but you are. He is the symbol of willing against God, and you are | afraid of him, because he cannot be reconciled with God's Will. If |
Tx:9.93 | to him. Depression means that you have foresworn God. Men are | afraid of blasphemy, but they do not know what it means. They do not |
Tx:10.3 | rests on meaninglessness and that everything of which you have been | afraid was based on nothing. |
Tx:10.14 | yours, for otherwise His Will would not have been extended. You are | afraid to know God's Will because you believe it is not yours. This |
Tx:10.40 | except by looking at them directly without protecting them? Be not | afraid, therefore, for what you will be looking at is the source of |
Tx:10.41 | Do not be | afraid, then, to look upon fear, for it cannot be seen. Clarity |
Tx:10.47 | is that the last thing the ego wishes you to realize is that you are | afraid of it. For if the ego gives rise to fear, it is diminishing |
Tx:10.48 | shallow, callous, uninvolved, and even desperate, but not really | afraid. Minimizing fear but not its undoing is the ego's constant |
Tx:10.49 | believing that attack has power. Very simply, then, you have become | afraid of yourself. And no one wills to learn what he believes would |
Tx:10.80 | as long as you believe that the one is many. Realize that you are | afraid of His specificity for fear of what you think it will demand |
Tx:10.82 | by that perception, you have lost sight of the real world. You are | afraid of the world as you see it, but the real world is still yours |
Tx:10.88 | into a shadow, and his “dragon” into a dream, he is no longer | afraid and laughs happily at his own fear. You, my children, are |
Tx:10.88 | afraid and laughs happily at his own fear. You, my children, are | afraid of your brothers and of your Father and of yourselves. But you |
Tx:10.89 | frightens them, and when they learn to perceive truly, they are not | afraid. And because of this, they will ask for truth again when they |
Tx:11.18 | not fit gifts for you. Take off the covers and look at what you are | afraid of. Only the anticipation will frighten you, for the reality |
Tx:11.29 | what he did is to exchange his self-love for self-hate, making him | afraid of himself. He does not realize this. Even if he is fully |
Tx:11.33 | of what you do not want, projected from your mind because you were | afraid of it. |
Tx:11.37 | love, and in its frantic search for love, it is seeking what it is | afraid to find. The search is inevitable because the ego is part of |
Tx:11.71 | You are | afraid of me because you looked within and are afraid of what you |
Tx:11.71 | You are afraid of me because you looked within and are | afraid of what you saw. Yet you could not have seen reality, for the |
Tx:11.71 | could only bring you peace if you really looked upon it. If you are | afraid, it is because you saw something that is not there. Yet in |
Tx:12.3 | guiltlessness anywhere, and it will try to destroy it because it is | afraid. |
Tx:12.5 | wish has hidden him from you because it is very fearful, and you are | afraid to find him. You have handled this wish to kill yourself by |
Tx:12.7 | stated that its goal for you is happiness and peace. Yet you are | afraid of it. You have been told again and again that it will make |
Tx:12.8 | the ego, you do not look upon the alternative with gladness. You are | afraid of redemption, and you believe it will kill you. Make no |
Tx:12.10 | fear if he recognizes it. Yet in your disordered state, you are not | afraid of fear. You do not like it, but it is not your desire to |
Tx:12.10 | disturbed by your hostility. You keep it hidden because you are more | afraid of what it covers. |
Tx:12.11 | would find within yourself something you fear even more. You are not | afraid of crucifixion. Your real terror is of redemption. Under the |
Tx:12.11 | is the memory of God, and it is of this that you are really | afraid. For this memory would instantly restore you to your proper |
Tx:12.14 | love because you think it would crush you into nothingness. You are | afraid it would sweep you away from yourself and make you little. For |
Tx:12.15 | and what is given you is not so dear as what you made. You are more | afraid of God than of the ego, and love cannot enter where it is not |
Tx:12.23 | And now the reason why you are | afraid of this course should be apparent. For this is a course on |
Tx:12.46 | For the past can cast no shadow to darken the present unless you are | afraid of light. And only if you are would you choose to bring this |
Tx:13.17 | over it and cannot see it because you cannot look within. You are | afraid of what you would see there, but it is not there. The thing |
Tx:13.18 | Do not be | afraid to look within. The ego tells you all is black with guilt |
Tx:13.18 | the dark, and guilty in the dark in which they shroud them, are too | afraid to look upon the light within. Within you is not what you |
Tx:13.70 | that nothing has no power. And by not dispelling darkness, he became | afraid of darkness and of light. The joy of learning that darkness |
Tx:14.17 | and you who made these guardians of illusion out of nothing are now | afraid of them. |
Tx:15.8 | is what prevents you from understanding the present, because you are | afraid of it. The Holy Spirit leads as steadily to Heaven as the ego |
Tx:15.45 | apparent to you that you do not know what anything means. You are | afraid of this because you believe that without the ego all would be |
Tx:15.49 | arises from your use of it. All the love from His. Do not, then, be | afraid to let go your imagined needs, which would destroy the |
Tx:15.75 | think it is, you will feel guilty about communication and will be | afraid to hear the Holy Spirit, recognizing in His voice your own |
Tx:16.14 | the Holy Spirit and in the effects of His teaching if you were not | afraid to acknowledge what He taught you. For this acknowledgment |
Tx:16.30 | Be not | afraid to look upon the special hate relationship, for freedom lies |
Tx:16.35 | yourself, you can be certain that you perceive hatred within and are | afraid of it. Yet peace will never come from the illusion of love, |
Tx:16.52 | And hating it, you have made it little and unworthy because you are | afraid of it. |
Tx:18.6 | guilt implies it was accomplished in reality. And above all, be not | afraid of it. When you seem to see some twisted form of the original |
Tx:18.25 | your willingness. Fear seems to live in darkness, and when you are | afraid, you have stepped back. Let us then join quickly in an instant |
Tx:18.26 | so long despised. You go toward love, still hating it and terribly | afraid of its judgment upon you. And you do not realize that you are |
Tx:18.26 | of its judgment upon you. And you do not realize that you are not | afraid of love, but only of what you have made of it. You are |
Tx:19.49 | it sees no fear. Being wholly without attack, it could not be | afraid. Fear is attracted to what love sees not, and each believes |
Tx:19.53 | the happy things they found, to share them lovingly with you. Be not | afraid of them. They offer you salvation. Theirs are the messages of |
Tx:19.93 | makes life seem to be ugly, cruel, and tyrannical. You are no more | afraid of death than of the ego. These are your chosen friends. For |
Tx:19.100 | Before complete forgiveness, you still stand unforgiving. You are | afraid of God because you fear each other. Those you do not forgive |
Tx:20.11 | no obstacles to peace. The fear of God is nothing to you now. Who is | afraid to look upon illusions, knowing his savior stands beside him? |
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: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: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:26.10 | attempt to solve it in a special form. It will recur and then recur | again and yet again until it has been answered for all time and will |

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:26.35 | 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:26.37 | to it as real is but a wish that what is gone could be made real | again and seen as here and now in place of what is really now and |
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:26.80 | brighter as each one comes home. The incomplete is made complete | again, and Heaven's joy has been increased because what is its own |
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:28.5 | it, waiting your command that they be brought to you and lived | again. And thus do their effects appear to be increased by time, |
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:29.4 | to meet when you prefer and separate until you both elect to meet | again. And then your bodies seem to get in touch and signify a |
Tx:29.4 | gets away from total sacrifice and gives you time in which to build | again your separate selves, which you believe diminish as you meet. |
Tx:29.68 | forever deep within the Son of God. And when he hears this song | again, he knows he never heard it not. And where is time, when dreams |
Tx:30.2 | is a way in which this very day can happen just like that. Then try | again to have the day you want. |
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:30.11 | 3. Remember once | again the day you want and recognize that something has occurred |
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:30.35 | Look once | again upon your enemy, the one you chose to hate instead of love. For |
Tx:30.44 | aware of them and sometimes not. An unremembered thought is born | again to you when it returns to your awareness. Yet it did not die |
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:31.12 | you are free to learn of him and learn of him anew. Now is he born | again to you, and you are born again to him without the past that |
Tx:31.12 | and learn of him anew. Now is he born again to you, and you are born | again to him without the past that sentenced him to die, and you with |
Tx:31.14 | Let us review | again what seems to stand between you and the truth of what you are. |
Tx:31.40 | can but decide how you would choose the better to deceive yourself | again. This course attempts to teach no more than that the power of |
Tx:31.84 | Choose once | again if you would take your place among the saviors of the world, or |
Tx:31.87 | Trials are but lessons which you failed to learn presented once | again, so where you made a faulty choice before, you now can make a |
Tx:31.87 | perplexity Christ calls to you and gently says, “My brother, choose | again.” He would not leave one source of pain unhealed nor any image |
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. |
W1:5.4 | But | again, this should not be substituted for practice periods in which |
W1:6.1 | The exercises with this idea are very similar to the preceding ones. | Again, it is necessary to name both the form of upset (anger, fear, |
W1:6.4 | Again, if you resist applying the idea to some upsetting thoughts | |
W1:9.7 | It is emphasized | again that while complete inclusion should not be attempted, specific |
W1:10.1 | your real thoughts. We have made this distinction before and will | again. You have no basis for comparison as yet. When you do, you will |
W1:19.2 | Today we are | again emphasizing the fact that minds are joined. This is rarely a |
W1:31.1 | Today's idea is the introduction to your declaration of release. | Again, the idea should be applied to both the world you see without |
W1:32.2 | since you see them as different, the practice periods for today will | again include two phases, one involving the world you see outside you |
W1:32.3 | Again we will begin the practice periods for the morning and evening | |
W1:36.6 | close your eyes and repeat the idea; look about you as you repeat it | again; and conclude with one more repetition with your eyes closed. |
W1:37.8 | the practice period with your eyes closed; you may open your eyes | again and apply the idea for today to your outer world if you so |
W1:40.1 | schedule and to adhere to it whenever possible. If you forget, try | again. If there are long interruptions, try again. Whenever you |
W1:40.1 | If you forget, try again. If there are long interruptions, try | again. Whenever you remember, try again. |
W1:40.1 | there are long interruptions, try again. Whenever you remember, try | again. |
W1:42.4 | open, looking about you. Then close your eyes and repeat the idea | again, quite slowly. After this, try to think of nothing except |
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. |
W1:65.5 | for today. Then close your eyes, repeat the idea to yourself once | again, and watch your mind carefully to catch whatever thoughts cross |
W1:68.5 | by ever so little, there will never be a problem in motivation ever | again. |
W1:70.7 | We will follow this practice for a number of lessons, and it would | again be well to decide in advance when would be a good time to lay |
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: |
W1:74.12 | off into withdrawal, quickly repeat the idea for today and try | again. Do this as often as necessary. There is definite gain in |
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. |
W1:92.8 | shift from night to day and back to darkness till the morning comes | again. The light of strength is constant, sure as love, forever glad |
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 |
W1:93.15 | quickly dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts | again. Should you be tempted to become angry with someone, tell him |
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 |
W1:95.14 | Then close your eyes and tell yourself | again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the meaning of |
W1:96.15 | will welcome it and give it peace. Restored in strength, it will | again flow out from Spirit to the Spirit in all things created by the |
W1:97.2 | We state | again the truth about your Self, the holy Son of God who rests in you |
W1:97.7 | leads you out of darkness, nor will you be able to forget the way | again. |
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 | spent in happy preparation for the next five minutes you will spend | again with Him. Repeat today's idea while you wait for the glad time |
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 |
W1:107.14 | And yet you will be glad to look | again upon this world. For you will bring with you the promise of the |
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 |
W1:109.7 | to sing, a stream long dry begins to flow again. The world is born | again each time you rest, and hourly remember that you came to bring |
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 |
W1:138.9 | is veiled in shadows must be raised to understanding to be judged | again, this time with Heaven's help, and all mistakes in judgment |
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 |
W1:153.1 | seeming safety are illusory deceptions. It attacks and then attacks | again. No peace of mind is possible where danger threatens thus. |
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 |
W1:183.6 | and to His Son. Practice but this today; repeat God's Name slowly | again and still again. Become oblivious to every name but His. |
W1:183.6 | Practice but this today; repeat God's Name slowly again and still | again. Become oblivious to every name but His. |
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 |
W1:195.7 | re-echoes in our memory and gathers clarity as we are willing once | again to hear. |
W1:197.1 | attempts at kindness and forgiveness. Yet you turn them to attack | again unless you find external gratitude and lavish thanks. Your |
W1:197.5 | and adding to your never-ending joy, while you forgive but to attack | again. |
W1:197.6 | of God are lent but for a little while before He snatches them away | again in death. For death will have no meaning for you then. |
W1:198.7 | his Father. You may think They have accepted, but if you will look | again upon the place where you beheld Their blood, you will perceive |
W1:200.3 | find. For what could be more foolish than to seek and seek and seek | again for hell, when you have but to look with open eyes to find that |
W1:200.9 | Let us not lose our way | again today. We go to Heaven, and the path is straight. Only if we |
W1:R6.1 | from every form of bondage and invite the memory of God to come | again. |
W2:I.9 | the wide horizons of our minds. A moment more, and it will rise | again. A moment more, and we who are God's Sons are safely home, |
W2:227.2 | this day lays down his dreams. The Son of God this day comes home | again, released from sin and clad in holiness, with his right mind |
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 |
W2:248.2 | Father, my ancient love for You returns and lets me love Your Son | again as well. Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your Love |
W2:249.2 | them with thoughts of violence and death. Now would we rest | again in You, as You created us. |
W2:260.1 | me. Let me remember my Identity. And let my sinlessness arise | again before Christ's vision, through which I would look upon my |
W2:303.1 | Father's Love. Let Him no longer be a stranger here, for He is born | again in me today. |
W2:304.2 | gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son that he may find | again the memory of You and of Your Son as You created him. |
W2:323.2 | longer. Love has now returned to our awareness. And we are at peace | again, for fear has gone and only love remains. |
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 |
W2:352.1 | here, reminds me You have given me a way to find Your peace | again. I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this way. You have not |
W2:FL.1 | as to Him we give our lives henceforth. For we would not return | again to the belief in sin, which made the world seem ugly and |
M:2.1 | His pupils have been waiting for him, for his coming is certain. | Again, it is only a matter of time. Once he has chosen to fulfill his |
M:2.4 | of remembering. Yet because it is an instant that is relived | again and again and still again, it seems to be now. And thus it is |
M:2.4 | remembering. Yet because it is an instant that is relived again and | again and still again, it seems to be now. And thus it is that pupil |
M:2.4 | because it is an instant that is relived again and again and still | again, it seems to be now. And thus it is that pupil and teacher seem |
M:3.4 | nor is what appears to be the end of the relationship a real end. | Again, each has learned the most he can at the time. Yet all who meet |
M:3.4 | the most he can at the time. Yet all who meet will someday meet | again, for it is the destiny of all relationships to become holy. God |
M:4.4 | been experienced, it is impossible to trust one's own petty strength | again. Who would attempt to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when |
M:11.2 | Again we come to the question of judgment. This time, ask yourself | |
M:11.4 | its gracious Presence, and it leans down in answer to raise it up | again. Now is the question different. It is no longer, “Can peace be |
M:16.2 | it is well to start the day right. It is always possible to begin | again, should the day begin with error, yet there are obvious |
M:16.11 | go. And thus the Gate of Heaven is reopened, and its light can shine | again on an untroubled mind. |
M:17.6 | must be death. How then can one believe in one's defenses? Magic | again must help. Forget the battle. Accept it as a fact, and then |
M:19.5 | indefensible. Perception rests, the mind is still, and light returns | again. Vision is now restored. What had been lost has now been found. |
M:20.4 | Returning anger, in whatever form, will drop the heavy curtain once | again, and the belief that peace cannot exist will certainly return. |
M:20.4 | and the belief that peace cannot exist will certainly return. War is | again accepted as the one reality. Now must you once again lay down |
M:20.4 | return. War is again accepted as the one reality. Now must you once | again lay down your sword, although you may not recognize that you |
M:20.4 | sword, although you may not recognize that you have picked it up | again. But you will learn, as you remember even faintly now what |
M:20.4 | now what happiness was yours without it, that you must have taken it | again as your defense. Stop for a moment now and think of this: is |
M:23.5 | of salvation through his learning? Why would you choose to start | again when he has made the journey for you? |
M:29.4 | Here | again is the paradox often referred to in the course. To say, “Of |

M:2.3 | The world of time is the world of illusion. What happened long | ago seems to be happening now. Choices made long since appear to be |

Tx:31.23 | only when he would step back and falling back when he would go | ahead? For so do you forget the journey's goal, which is but to |
W1:69.7 | you will begin to feel a sense of being lifted up and carried | ahead. Your little effort and small determination call on the power |

Tx:7.32 | dependable and therefore universal in application. The real | aim of science is neither prediction nor control but only |
Tx:8.75 | function. This is the purpose of everything the ego does. Its sole | aim is to lose sight of the function of everything. A sick body does |

Tx:11.49 | If you are trying to learn how not to learn and are using the | aim of teaching to defeat itself, what can you expect but confusion? |
Tx:11.89 | the Holy Spirit shares the goal of all good teachers, whose ultimate | aim is to make themselves unnecessary by teaching their pupils all |
Tx:14.10 | from this. There is no conflict in this curriculum, which has one | aim however it is taught. Each effort made on its behalf is offered |
Tx:14.14 | to whomever you see as guiltless. Crucifixion is always the ego's | aim. It sees as guilty, and by its condemnation, it would kill. The |
Tx:17.29 | which you have ever undertaken has as its fundamental purpose the | aim of occupying your minds so completely that you will not hear the |
Tx:18.66 | not attempt to teach more than they learned in time, but it does | aim at saving time. You are attempting to follow a very long road to |
Tx:24.68 | one thought with purpose still uncertain, or one wish with a divided | aim. |
Tx:25.9 | The Holy Spirit serves Christ's purpose in your mind, so that the | aim of specialness can be corrected where the error lies. Because His |

Tx:25.36 | ever bloomed has saved its perfume and its loveliness for you. What | aim can supersede the Will of God and of His Son that Heaven be |
Tx:25.37 | of sin. Attack and sin are bound as one illusion, each the cause and | aim and justifier of the other. Each is meaningless alone, but seems |
Tx:25.45 | the world for them to fill, no place where they are needed, and no | aim which only they can perfectly fulfill. |

Tx:29.41 | that time might be preserved, excepting one. Forgiveness does not | aim at keeping time but at its ending when it has no use. Its purpose |
Tx:30.57 | Fear is not its goal, and the escape from guilt becomes its | aim. The value of forgiveness is perceived and takes the place of |

W1:135.18 | Defenses are the plans you undertake to make against the truth. Their | aim is to select what you approve and disregard what you consider |

W1:136.15 | you will choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our | aim today. And we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the |
W1:138.3 | as opposites. Decision lets one of conflicting goals become the | aim of effort and expenditure of time. Without decision, time is but |
W1:139.13 | as we lay aside all thoughts that would distract us from our holy | aim. For several minutes let your mind be cleared of all the foolish |
W1:R4.1 | to concentrate on readiness for what will follow next. Such is our | aim for this review and for the lessons following. Thus we review the |

W2:318.1 | What could conflict when all the parts have but one purpose and one | aim? How could there be a single part that stands aside or one of |

W2:WAI.5 | is written on our hearts. And thus our minds are changed about the | aim for which we came and which we seek to serve. We bring glad |
W2:FL.3 | all our thoughts to serve the function of salvation. Unto us the | aim is given to forgive the world. It is the goal that God has given |
M:4.24 | no effort to exceed its legitimate goal. Forgiveness is its single | aim at which all learning ultimately converges. It is indeed enough. |
M:10.3 | The | aim of our curriculum, unlike the goal of the world's learning, is |
M:13.6 | hold dear the things that crucify God's Son. And it is the course's | aim to set him free. But do not be mistaken about what sacrifice |

Tx:13.74 | strain, or the impossible burden of deciding what they want and need | alone. |
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:14.7 | them not what is their due, for you will not withhold it from them | alone. |
Tx:14.12 | is its unifying attribute, with no one left outside to suffer guilt | alone. The power of God draws everyone to its safe embrace of love |
Tx:14.30 | look with Him, He cannot see. The vision of Christ is not for Him | alone but for Him with you. Bring, therefore, all your dark and |
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:15.25 | to your magnitude and not your littleness. Nor is it asked of you | alone. |
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:15.46 | alone. To be alone is to be guilty. For to experience yourself as | alone is to deny the oneness of the Father and his Son and thus to |
Tx:15.48 | and change so frequently. They are not based on changeless love | alone. And love where fear has entered cannot be depended on because |
Tx:15.60 | From this it follows you can only give. And this is love, for this | alone is natural under the laws of God. |
Tx:15.75 | with you while you believe that to communicate is to make yourself | alone? It is clearly insane to believe that by communicating you will |
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:16.13 | done miracles, but it is quite apparent that you have not done them | alone. You have succeeded whenever you have reached another mind and |
Tx:16.20 | what you have really seen and heard and recognize it. Can you be | alone with witnesses like these? |
Tx:16.26 | your faith in what you taught. For what you taught is true. | Alone you stand outside your teaching and apart from it. But with |
Tx:16.44 | directed against God. For the ego would have you see Him, and Him | alone, as guilty, leaving the Sonship open to attack and unprotected |
Tx:17.73 | in every situation. You are no longer wholly insane, nor no longer | alone. For loneliness in God must be a dream. You whose relationship |
Tx:18.20 | guilt, but as a source of joy and freedom. It will not be for you | alone, for therein lay its misery. As its unholiness kept it a thing |
Tx:18.27 | hand also hold mine, for when you joined each other you were not | alone. Do you believe that I would leave you in the darkness you |
Tx:18.35 | The holy instant does not come from your little willingness | alone. It is always the result of your small willingness combined |
Tx:18.36 | than simple willingness to make way for it. Purification is of God | alone and therefore for you. Rather than seek to prepare yourself for |
Tx:18.42 | and rising even to Heaven. Nor will you use it to ascend to Heaven | alone. |
Tx:18.46 | fact that it is now impossible for either of you to experience fear | alone or to attempt to deal with it alone. Never believe that this is |
Tx:18.46 | either of you to experience fear alone or to attempt to deal with it | alone. Never believe that this is necessary or even possible. Yet |
Tx:18.51 | possible. And it is mind that seems to be fragmented and private and | alone. Its guilt, which keeps it separate, is projected to the body, |
Tx:18.73 | almost imperceptible ripple hails itself as the ocean. Think how | alone and frightened is this little thought, this infinitesimal |
Tx:18.75 | body seems to house a separate mind, a disconnected thought living | alone and in no way joined to the Thought by which it was created. |
Tx:18.79 | one into this holy place, but they will not depart as they had come, | alone. The love they brought with them will stay with them, as it |
Tx:18.79 | who thirsts for living water but has grown too weary to go on | alone. |
Tx:18.82 | be able to give love welcome separately. You could no more know God | alone than He knows you without your brother. But together you could |
Tx:19.41 | you reinforce it now? You are not asked to let it go for yourselves | alone. Christ asks it of you for Himself. He would bring peace to |
Tx:19.98 | illusions are not real. No one can stand before this obstacle | alone, for he could not have reached thus far unless his brother |
Tx:19.102 | to forgive your sins, as you for him. Neither can give it to himself | alone. And yet your savior stands beside each one. Let him be what he |
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:22.2 | for sin gone with them. Who has need for sin? Only the lonely and | alone who see their brothers different from themselves. It is this |
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:22.41 | to be together after such a long and lonely journey where you walked | alone. The gates of Heaven, open now for you, will you now open to |
Tx:22.44 | it difficult. For by receiving it, he learned it was not given him | alone. Such is the function of a holy relationship—to receive |
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:22.65 | And in Him is all creation joined. Would you regret you cannot fear | alone when your relationship can also teach the power of love is |
Tx:23.5 | time intrude upon your sight of him. Leave him not frightened and | alone in his temptation but help him rise above it and perceive the |
Tx:23.40 | And are 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 |
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:24.27 | For you have given your brother's birthright to it, leaving him | alone and unforgiven and yourself in sin beside him, both in misery |
Tx:24.34 | of trust in anyone except yourself. Faith is invested in yourself | alone. Everything else becomes your enemy—feared and attacked, |
Tx:24.59 | is the function which you gave yourself. It stands for you | alone, as self-created, self-maintained, in need of nothing, and |
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:26.31 | song, is difficult to do. But it is hard indeed to wander off, | alone and miserable, down a road which leads to nothing and which has |
Tx:26.35 | an ancient memory before your eyes. And he who lives in memories | alone is unaware of where he is. |
Tx:26.44 | to keep the ones which he prefers and find the safety that the truth | alone can give? Who can believe illusions are the same and still |
Tx:26.46 | Who dwells with shadows is | alone indeed, and loneliness is not the Will of God. Would you allow |
Tx:26.88 | view, you seek to find an innocence which is not Theirs but yours | alone and at the cost of someone else's guilt. Can innocence be |
Tx:27.1 | brother and yourself will not escape. You cannot crucify yourself | alone. And if you are unfairly treated, he must suffer the unfairness |
Tx:27.1 | suffer the unfairness that you see. You cannot sacrifice yourself | alone. For sacrifice is total. If it could occur at all, it would |
Tx:27.22 | until he learns correction is but to forgive and never to accuse. | Alone, you cannot see they are the same, and therefore is correction |
Tx:27.27 | Correction is the function given both, but neither one | alone. And when it is fulfilled as shared, it must correct mistakes |
Tx:28.28 | to be directed up the ladder separation led you down. The miracle | alone is your concern at present. Here is where we must begin. And |
Tx:28.64 | But never you | alone. This world is but the dream that you can be alone and think |
Tx:28.64 | But never you alone. This world is but the dream that you can be | alone and think without affecting those apart from you. To be alone |
Tx:28.64 | can be alone and think without affecting those apart from you. To be | alone must mean you are apart, and if you are, you cannot but be |
Tx:28.66 | house will stand forever, for its strength lies not within itself | alone. It is an ark of safety, resting on God's promise that His Son |
Tx:29.7 | frequently you have demanded that love go away and leave you quietly | alone in “peace.” |
Tx:29.13 | in giving them to all who walk apart believing they are separate and | alone. They will be healed when you accept your gifts, because your |
Tx:29.24 | shines on you in gratitude and love. He is himself, but not himself | alone. And as his Father lost not part of Him in your creation, so |
Tx:29.54 | His face like a dark veil which seems to shut you off from Him, | alone in darkness. Yet the light is there. A cloud does not put out |
Tx:30.1 | it. The speed by which it can be reached depends on this one thing | alone—your willingness to practice every step. Each one will help a |
Tx:30.32 | the world. It needs but two to understand that they cannot decide | alone to guarantee the joy they asked for will be wholly shared. For |
Tx:30.33 | you do your will. He joins with you. He did not set His Kingdom up | alone. And Heaven itself but represents your will, where everything |
Tx:30.40 | Only if you had sinned could this be so. For sin is the idea you are | alone and separated off from what is whole. And thus it would be |
Tx:30.67 | one was bought except at cost of pain, nor was it ever paid by you | alone. |
Tx:31.23 | so neither leads nor follows. Thus it is a way you go together, not | alone. And in this choice is learning's outcome changed, for Christ |
Tx:31.25 | is your joint inheritance remembered and accepted by you both. | Alone it is denied to both of you. Is it not clear that while you |
Tx:31.25 | you still insist on leading or on following, you think you walk | alone with no one by your side? This is the road to nowhere, for the |
Tx:31.25 | is the road to nowhere, for the light cannot be given while you walk | alone, and so you cannot see which way you go. And thus there is |
Tx:31.25 | endless doubting as you stagger back and forward in the darkness and | alone. Yet these are but appearances of what the journey is and how |
Tx:31.33 | band from birth to death a little time is given you to use for you | alone, a time when everyone conflicts with you, but you can choose |
Tx:31.70 | yourself, when you have reached the world beyond the sight your eyes | alone can offer you to see. For you will not interpret what you see |
Tx:31.71 | will love this concept of yourself because it was not made for you | alone. Born as a gift for someone not perceived to be yourself, it |
Tx:31.87 | God created altars unto joy.] He would not leave you comfortless, | alone in dreams of hell, but would release your minds from everything |

W1:76.3 | a sharpened needle will ward off death. You really think you are | alone unless another body is with you. |
W1:91.4 | How can this be reversed? For you it is impossible, but you are not | alone in this. Your efforts, however little they may be, have strong |
W1:96.6 | and weak. Dissociated from its function now, it thinks it is | alone and separate, attacked by armies massed against itself and |

W1:I2.2 | We are attempting now to lift these blocks, however briefly. Words | alone cannot convey the sense of liberation which their lifting |

W1:185.4 | Yet compromise | alone a dream can bring. Sometimes it takes the form of union, but |
W1:185.12 | what He wills for you? And how could your request be limited to you | alone? No gift of God can be unshared. It is this attribute that sets |
W1:188.6 | quietly and close your eyes. The light within you is sufficient. It | alone has power to give the gift of sight to you. Exclude the outer |
W1:190.5 | It is your thoughts | alone that cause you pain. Nothing external to your mind can hurt or |
W1:190.10 | reality. Pain is but sleep; joy is awakening. Pain is deception; joy | alone is truth. |

W1:195.6 | We thank our Father for one thing | alone—that we are separate from no living thing and therefore one |
W1:198.13 | of earth, made quiet in a dreamless sleep. And now the Word of God | alone remains upon it. Only that can be perceived an instant longer. |
W1:200.9 | can there be delay and needless wasted time on thorny byways. God | alone is sure, and He will guide our footsteps. He will not desert |
W1:R6.1 | use the idea as often as you can between them. Each of these ideas | alone would be sufficient for salvation, if it were learned truly. |
W2:I.1 | we do not now depend. For now we seek direct experience of truth | alone. The lessons which remain are merely introductions to the times |
W2:221.1 | Father, I come to You today to seek the peace that You | alone can give. I come in silence. In the quiet of my heart, the deep |

W2:242.1 | today. I do not understand the world. And so to try to lead my life | alone must be but foolishness. For there is One Who knows all that is |
W2:265.1 | I to think that what I feared was in the world instead of in my mind | alone. Today I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which |
W2:WIC.3 | Home of the Holy Spirit and at home in God | alone, does Christ remain at peace within the Heaven of your holy |

W2:280.2 | Today let me give honor to Your Son, for thus | alone I find the way to You. Father, I lay no limits on the Son You |

W1:199.8 | Your brothers stand released with you in it; the world is blessed | along with you; God's Son will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks |
W1:R6.6 | for this review. For we attempt this time to reach a quickened pace | along a shorter path to the serenity and peace of God. We merely |
W1:208.1 | God is shining in me now. I will be still and let the earth be still | along with me. And in that stillness, we will find the peace of God. |
W2:I.2 | Himself. And we are sure His promises are kept. We have come far | along the road, and now we wait for Him. We will continue spending |

Tx:4.54 | only when the idea of “getting,” which implies a lack, has | already been accepted. That is why we made no distinction before |
Tx:4.87 | you and your ego cannot be identical. You may believe that you have | already accepted the difference, but you are by no means convinced as |

Tx:6.5 | I have | already told you that you can always call on me to share my decision |
Tx:6.10 | but rebirth itself is merely the dawning on your minds of what is | already in them. God placed it there Himself, and so it is true |
Tx:6.26 | against what you project, you continue to attack it because you have | already attacked it by projecting it. By doing this unconsciously, |

Tx:7.41 | ego can hurt other bodies, but this cannot occur unless the body has | already been confused with the mind. This fact, too, can be used |

Tx:12.75 | In me you have | already overcome every temptation that would hold you back. We walk |
Tx:13.55 | that you sought. Yet you will add another burden to your mind, | already burdened or you would not have sought another. You will |
Tx:13.85 | Him teach you quietly how to perceive your guiltlessness, which is | already there. |
Tx:13.88 | and therefore cannot be given. Ask not to be forgiven, for this has | already been accomplished. Ask, rather, to learn how to forgive and |
Tx:14.57 | will teach you what you are, restoring to you your identity. We have | already learned that this identity is shared. The miracle becomes the |

Tx:14.69 | and recognized they never were. There are no dark lessons He has not | already lightened for you. The lessons you would teach yourselves He |
Tx:14.69 | for you. The lessons you would teach yourselves He has corrected | already. They do not exist in His Mind at all. For the past binds Him |
Tx:14.72 | They have destroyed their motivation for learning by thinking they | already know. Think not you understand anything until you pass the |
Tx:15.88 | cannot give it. And seek it not through yours. Yet your minds are | already continuous, and their union need only be accepted, and the |
Tx:15.102 | For He is Host to God. And you need but invite Him in Who is there | already, by recognizing that His Host is One, and no thought alien to |
Tx:16.20 | ideas are mighty forces to be used and not held idly by. They have | already proved their power sufficiently for you to place your faith |
Tx:16.25 | Your teaching has | already done this, for the Holy Spirit is part of you. Created by |
Tx:16.71 | on it, for the past is gone. You cannot really not let go what has | already gone. It must be, therefore, that you are maintaining the |
Tx:17.17 | the bodies of those who are not there. Even the body of the other, | already a severely limited perception of him, is not the central |
Tx:17.42 | all relationships, for in it they are one. For here is only healing, | already complete and perfect. For here is God, and where He is, only |
Tx:17.59 | the situation just seems to happen and makes no sense until it has | already happened. Then you look back at it and try to piece together |
Tx:18.12 | within it. Would you still further weaken and break apart what is | already broken and hopeless? Is it here that you would look for |
Tx:18.40 | centered on this. Everything God wills is not only possible but has | already happened. And that is why the past has gone. It never |
Tx:18.41 | Prepare you not for the undoing of what never was. If you | already understood the difference between truth and illusion, the |
Tx:19.12 | forgiveness. But through the eyes of faith, the Son of God is seen | already forgiven, free of all the guilt he laid upon himself. Faith |
Tx:19.15 | peace, and so it calls on truth to enter and make lovely what has | already been prepared for loveliness. Truth follows faith and peace, |
Tx:19.37 | from your relationship to others to bring them gently in [has | already begun. This is the way in which He will bring means and goal |
Tx:19.38 | rest, as it was given you. All this will you do. Yet the peace which | already lies deeply within must first expand and flow across the |
Tx:19.64 | place before our union, for in your holy relationship, I am there | already. We will surmount all obstacles together, for we stand within |
Tx:19.67 | 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 communion, where we are |
Tx:19.67 | And in Him it is possible that our communion, where we are joined | already, will be the focus of the new perception that will bring |
Tx:19.69 | you wholly and give you peace. Yet it can unite only with what | already is at peace in you, immortal as itself. The body can bring |
Tx:20.3 | He started with the sign of victory the promise of the resurrection | already given him. Let him not wander into the temptation of |
Tx:20.28 | you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives everything to God, Who has | already given and received all that is true. The untrue He has |
Tx:20.42 | of your relationship, with means and end in perfect harmony | already. Here is the perfect faith that you will one day offer to |
Tx:20.42 | Here is the perfect faith that you will one day offer to each other | already offered you. And here the limitless forgiveness you will give |
Tx:20.42 | you. And here the limitless forgiveness you will give each other | already given; the face of Christ you yet will look upon already seen. |
Tx:20.42 | each other already given; the face of Christ you yet will look upon | already seen. |
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:21.82 | final question “yes,” you add sincerity to the decisions you have | already made to all the rest. For only then have you renounced the |
Tx:21.88 | and made by one whom God Himself will never fail to answer. God has | already given him all that he really wants. Yet what he is uncertain |
Tx:21.90 | denial has denied revealed to you. For here the final question is | already answered and what you ask for given. Here is the future now, |
Tx:24.1 | Him what to do. He will not fail. Where He can enter, there He is | already. And can it be He cannot enter where He wills to be? Peace |
Tx:24.43 | upon decay and madness and believe this crumbling thing, with flesh | already loosened from the bone and sightless holes for eyes, is like |
Tx:26.20 | that they are temporary, out of place, and every choice has been | already made. |
Tx:26.67 | answer, for on Him you call. Could He refuse to answer when He has | already answered all who call on Him? A miracle can make no change at |
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 |
Tx:30.41 | of God. What idol can be called upon to give the Son of God what he | already has? |
Tx:30.63 | When brothers join in purpose in the world of fear, they stand | already at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they still look back |

W1:39.3 | We have | already said that your holiness is the salvation of the world. What |

W1:72.11 | periods today is to become aware that God's plan for salvation has | already been accomplished in us. To achieve this goal, we must |
W1:78.6 | You know the one to choose; his name has crossed your mind | already. He will be the one of whom we ask God's Son be shown to us. |
W1:79.1 | be solved if you do not know what it is. Even if it is really solved | already, you will still have the problem because you cannot recognize |
W1:79.1 | The problem of separation, which is really the only problem, has | already been solved. But the solution is not recognized because the |
W1:79.7 | problem is and what is the answer to it. We will not assume that we | already know. We will try to free our minds of all the many different |
W1:88.2 | salvation rather than attack, I merely choose to recognize what is | already here. Salvation is a decision made already. Attack and |
W1:88.2 | to recognize what is already here. Salvation is a decision made | already. Attack and grievances are not there to choose. That is why I |
W1:90.5 | is impossible that I could have a problem which has not been solved | already. |
W1:90.7 | need not wait for this to be resolved. The answer to this problem is | already given me if I will accept it. Time cannot separate this |
W1:95.1 | must be so, only because you believe that you have changed yourself | already. You see yourself as a ridiculous parody on God's creation— |
W1:95.8 | may well be a temptation to regard the day as lost because you have | already failed to do what is required. This should, however, merely |
W1:104.8 | the way for Him today by simply recognizing that His Will is done | already and that joy and peace belong to us as His eternal gifts. We |
W1:105.5 | timelessness, and love unto itself. It adds to all that is complete | already, not in simple terms of adding more, for that implies that it |
W1:109.11 | our rest is made complete, and what we give today we have received | already. Time is not the guardian of what we give today. We give to |
W1:121.10 | matter what the form your anger takes. You probably have chosen him | already. He will do. |
W1:130.6 | where none is possible. The world you see is proof you have | already made a choice as all-embracing as its opposite. What we would |
W1:132.5 | you did not make the world but came unwillingly to what was made | already, hardly waiting for your thoughts to give it meaning. Yet in |
W1:133.1 | through what seems theoretical and far from what the student has | already learned, to bring him back to practical concerns. This we |
W1:133.4 | when you choose and what alternatives you choose between. We have | already stressed there are but two, however many there appear to be. |
W1:154.12 | but will not know that God Himself has left no gift beyond what you | already have nor has denied the tiniest of blessings to His Son. What |
W1:157.2 | —a fresh experience that sheds a light on all that we have learned | already and prepares us for what we have yet to learn. It brings us |
W1:158.3 | The time is set | already. It appears to be quite arbitrary. Yet there is no step along |
W1:158.3 | is no step along the road that anyone but takes by chance. It has | already been taken by him, although he has not yet embarked on it. |
W1:159.6 | everything that can contribute to your happiness. All are laid here | already. All can be received but for the asking. Here the door is |
W1:159.6 | his least request or his most urgent need. There is no sickness not | already healed, no lack unsatisfied, no need unmet within this golden |
W1:165.1 | be concealed except illusion? What could keep from you what you | already have except your choice to see it not, denying it is there? |
W1:169.4 | that the revelation of the Father and the Son as one has been | already set. But we have also said the mind determines when that time |
W1:169.7 | from Him Who teaches what forgiveness means. All learning was | already in His Mind, accomplished and complete. He recognized all |
W1:169.9 | beyond and listen to words which explain what is to come is past | already. Yet what meaning can the words convey to those who count the |
W1:185.11 | is God's Will. Who can remain unsatisfied who asks for what he has | already? Who could be unanswered who requests an answer which is his |
W1:186.13 | complete; a gift to you, although He knows that you have everything | already. He has thoughts which answer every need His Son perceives, |
W1:188.2 | lost. Why wait to find it in the future or believe it has been lost | already or was never there? It can so easily be looked upon that |
W1:192.3 | are dreams, but of a kind so close to waking that the light of day | already shines in them. And eyes already opening behold the joyful |

W1:194.3 | each instant given unto God in passing, with the next one given Him | already, is a time of your release from sadness, pain and even death |
W1:200.3 | ending. Ask for this, and you can only win. To ask for what you have | already must succeed. To ask that what is false be true can only |
W1:200.10 | with the body's eyes but serving for an instant longer now. Peace is | already recognized at last, and you can feel its soft embrace |
W2:WF.5 | in hope, and certain of your ultimate success. He has forgiven you | already, for such is His function given Him by God. Now must you |

W2:279.1 | gone, with truth established in their place. And now is freedom his | already. Should I wait in chains which have been severed for release, |
W2:286.1 | that there is no need that I do anything. In You is every choice | already made. In You has every conflict been resolved. In You is |
W2:286.1 | every conflict been resolved. In You is everything I hope to find | already given me. Your peace is mine. My heart is quiet and my mind |
W2:290.2 | 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 happiness today. |

W2:317.1 | salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and | already mine as well. |
W2:330.1 | when God holds out His power and His love and bids them take what is | already theirs? The mind that is made willing to accept God's gifts |
W2:337.1 | mine? I must accept Atonement for myself and nothing more. God has | already done all things that need be done. And I must learn I need do |
W2:337.1 | for I need but accept my Self, my sinlessness, created for me, now | already mine, to feel God's Love protecting me from harm, to |

M:3.3 | new direction as he teaches it. We have covered the illusion of time | already, but the illusion of levels of teaching seems to be something |
M:4.10 | In fact, it is here. Who would “go” anywhere if peace of mind is | already complete? And who would seek to change tranquility for |
M:4.20 | of the ultimate interpretation of all things in time, no outcome | already seen or yet to come can cause them fear. |
M:5.8 | Can he change the patient's mind for him? Certainly not. For those | already willing to change their mind he has no function except to |
M:5.9 | not to heal the sick but to remind them of the remedy God has | already given them. It is not their hands that heal. It is not their |
M:7.1 | remains to heal him from? And if the healing is certain, as we have | already said it is, what is there to repeat? For a teacher of God to |
M:7.2 | to doubt this, he should not repeat his previous effort. That was | already maximal, because the Holy Spirit so accepted it and so used |
M:13.4 | resent the giving up of children's toys? Does one whose vision has | already glimpsed the face of Christ look back with longing on a |
M:16.1 | one is absent whom he needs; not one is sent without a learning goal | already set, and one which can be met that very day. For the advanced |
M:17.7 | fear of God most starkly represented. For in that thought has guilt | already raised madness to the throne of God Himself. And now there is |

Tx:7.29 | Kingdom, but in your minds. The altar there is the only reality. The | altar is perfectly clear in thought, because it is a reflection of |
Tx:7.53 | to His Sons. This is the true communion of the Spirit, Who sees the | altar of God in everyone and, by bringing it to your appreciation, |
Tx:9.84 | Only at the | altar of God will you find peace. And this altar is in you, because |
Tx:9.84 | Only at the altar of God will you find peace. And this | altar is in you, because God put it there. His Voice still calls you |
Tx:10.31 | He created is part of Him, you are denying Him His place in His own | altar. |
Tx:10.33 | the peace you share, and your own Soul must be unknown to you. Every | altar to God is part of your Soul because the light He created is one |
Tx:10.36 | Christ is at God's | altar, waiting to welcome His Son. But come wholly without |
Tx:10.37 | At God's | altar Christ waits for the restoration of Himself in you. God knows |
Tx:10.63 | power of the god he worships over him. For he places himself at the | altar of his god, whether it be the god he made or the God who |
Tx:11.34 | began it must end. For in this same place also lies salvation. The | altar of God where Christ abideth is there. |
Tx:11.35 | You have defiled the | altar but not the world. Yet Christ has placed the Atonement on the |
Tx:11.35 | altar but not the world. Yet Christ has placed the Atonement on the | altar for you. Bring your perceptions of the world to this altar, for |

Tx:19.13 | the body and sees the holy place where it was healed. There is the | altar where the grace was given, in which it stands. Do you, then, |
Tx:19.13 | offer grace and blessing to each other, for you stand at the same | altar where grace was laid for both of you. And be you healed by |

Tx:19.14 | glad tidings that it was done to you who stand together before the | altar from which they were sent forth. |
Tx:20.7 | of the receiver and the giver. No one but sees in his chosen home an | altar to himself. No one but seeks to draw to it the worshipers of |
Tx:20.7 | it worthy of their devotion. And each has set a light upon his | altar, that they may see what he has placed upon it and take it for |
Tx:20.8 | may look upon the Son of God as whole. But look you first upon the | altar in your chosen home and see what you have laid upon it to offer |
Tx:20.8 | are gone. Look you still closer at them now, and you will see your | altar is no longer what it was. |
Tx:20.9 | And what enables Him to see His purpose shine forth from every | altar now is yours as well as His. He sees no strangers, only dearly |
Tx:20.13 | you its guiding light and sure protection, and shining from the holy | altar within him where you laid the lilies of forgiveness. Let him be |
Tx:20.15 | the strength to lead you there. And come before each other's holy | altar where the strength and freedom wait, to offer and receive the |
Tx:20.70 | see the body not. And as you look upon each other, you will see an | altar to your Father, holy as Heaven, glowing with radiant purity and |
Tx:21.22 | see it easily enough. But you have not left open and unoccupied the | altar where the gifts belong. Where they should be, you have set up |
Tx:23.17 | what happens when the house of God perceives itself divided. The | altar disappears, the light grows dim, the temple of the Holy One |
Tx:25.28 | to peace. He will perceive that where he gave attack is but another | altar where he can with equal ease and far more happiness bestow |

Tx:5.79 | When I said, “I | am come as a light into the world,” I surely came to share the light |

Tx:6.21 | the crucifixion was simply that I did not. The “punishment” which I | am said to have called forth upon Judas was a similar reversal. Judas |

Tx:19.67 | I taught by teaching freedom to each other and so releasing me. I | am within your holy relationship, yet you would imprison me behind |

Tx:20.21 | Take not the judgment of the world as answer to the question, “What | am I?” |
Tx:20.23 | Ask not this transient stranger, “What | am I?” He is the only thing in all the universe that does not know. |
Tx:21.15 | I | am responsible for what I see. I chose the feelings I experience, and |
Tx:21.75 | I rule instead of one which rules me? Do I desire a world where I | am powerful instead of helpless? Do I desire a world in which I have |
Tx:24.71 | your specialness whispers, “Here is my own beloved son, in whom I | am well pleased.” Thus does the “son” become the means to serve his |
Tx:27.14 | say and mean, “My brother, you have injured me, and yet because I | am the better of the two, I pardon you my hurt.” His pardon and your |
Tx:28.27 | because the mind acknowledges “this is not done to me, but I | am doing this.” And thus the mind is free to make another choice |
Tx:31.19 | The answer that I give my brother is what I | am asking for. And what I learn of him is what I learn about myself. |
Tx:31.47 | lest it perceive the treachery it hides. The lesson teaches this: “I | am the thing you made of me, and as you look on me, you stand |
Tx:31.47 | of me, and as you look on me, you stand condemned because of what I | am.” On this conception of the self the world smiles with approval, |
Tx:31.60 | I do not know the thing I | am and therefore do not know what I am doing, where I am, or how to |

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 |

W1:88.5 | [76] I | am under no laws but God's. Here is the perfect statement of my |

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 | 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 am weary of the |
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 |
W2:229.2 | Father, my thanks to You for what I | am; for keeping my Identity untouched and sinless in the midst of all |

W2:235.1 | am saved and safe forever in His arms. I am the Son He loves. And I | am saved because God in His mercy wills it so. |
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 |

W2:315.1 | 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 |

W2:317.1 | 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 |

W2:324.1 | 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. |

W2:337.2 | You who created me in sinlessness are not mistaken about what I | am. I was mistaken when I thought I sinned, but I accept Atonement |
W2:340.1 | Father, I thank You for today and for the freedom I | am certain it will bring. This day is holy, for today Your Son will |
W2:341.1 | Father, Your Son is holy. I | am he on whom You smile in love and tenderness so deep and dear and |

W2:343.1 | having the function of completing You. I am complete because I | am Your Son. I cannot lose, for I can only give. And everything is |
W2:348.1 | Father, let me remember You are here, and I | am not alone. Surrounding me is everlasting Love. I have no cause for |
W2:WAI.1 | I | am God's Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the |
W2:WAI.1 | perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. I | am the holy home of God Himself. I am the Heaven where His love |
W2:WAI.1 | established without opposite. I am the holy home of God Himself. I | am the Heaven where His love resides. I am His holy sinlessness |
W2:WAI.1 | holy home of God Himself. I am the Heaven where His love resides. I | am His holy sinlessness itself, for in my purity abides His own. |
W2:WAI.2 | purpose that we shared. And thus you joined with me. So what I | am are you as well. The truth of what we are is not for words to |
W2:352.1 | here, reminds me You have given me a way to find Your peace again. I | am redeemed when I elect to follow in this way. You have not left me |
W2:354.1 | Him. For who is Christ except Your Son as You created Him? And what | am I except the Christ in me? |
W2:355.1 | me? For You will keep Your Word You gave Your Son in exile. I | am sure my treasure waits for me, and I need but reach out my hand to |
W2:358.1 | You Who remember what I really | am alone remember what I really want. You speak for God, and so You |

W1:154.14 | I am | among the ministers of God, and I am grateful that I have the means |

Tx:4.72 | is no point in turning to it for protection. The ego has no real | answer to this because there is none, but it does have a typical |
Tx:4.81 | this world, and since this is a sensible question, it has a sensible | answer. You must be careful, however, that you really understand the |
Tx:5.18 | understood the call to right thinking. The Holy Spirit was God's | Answer to the separation, the means by which the Atonement could |
Tx:5.26 | and you must choose at which altar you will to serve. The call you | answer now is an evaluation because it is a decision. The decision |
Tx:5.28 | is the joyous one of waking it to the Call for God. Everyone will | answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as one. |
Tx:5.31 | Child of God, my message is for you to hear and give away as you | answer the Holy Spirit within you. |
Tx:5.36 | in eternity. We have said before that the Holy Spirit is God's | Answer to the ego. Everything of which the Holy Spirit reminds you is |
Tx:6.45 | Remember that the Holy Spirit is the | Answer, not the question. The ego always speaks first because it is |
Tx:6.46 | the first question that was ever asked, but one which it can never | answer. That question, “What are you?” was the beginning of doubt. |
Tx:6.47 | have never done more than obscure the question, because you have the | answer and the ego is afraid of you. You cannot understand the |
Tx:6.47 | truly, He answers for all time, which means that everyone has the | answer now. |
Tx:6.50 | Hear then the one | answer of the Holy Spirit to all the questions which the ego raises. |
Tx:6.56 | attack it. Being questioned, He did not question. He merely gave the | Answer. His Answer is your Teacher. |
Tx:6.56 | questioned, He did not question. He merely gave the Answer. His | Answer is your Teacher. |
Tx:7.12 | issue, he will make the right decision. This is because he has the | answer. Conflict can seem to be interpersonal, but it must be |
Tx:7.30 | beyond question, and when you questioned it you were answered. The | answer merely undoes the question by establishing the fact that to |
Tx:8.9 | should turn to find himself? The ego has never given you a sensible | answer to anything. Simply on the grounds of your own experience with |
Tx:8.15 | is extended. Awakening runs easily and gladly through the Kingdom in | answer to the call of God. This is the natural response of every Son |
Tx:8.77 | insistence on asking the guidance of a teacher who does not know the | answer. The ego is incapable of knowing how you feel. When we said |
Tx:8.80 | We once said that the Holy Spirit is the | Answer. He is the Answer to everything, because He knows what the |
Tx:8.80 | We once said that the Holy Spirit is the Answer. He is the | Answer to everything, because He knows what the answer to everything |
Tx:8.80 | Answer. He is the Answer to everything, because He knows what the | answer to everything is. The ego does not know what a real question |
Tx:8.95 | what you will ask for. You may insist that the Holy Spirit does not | answer you, but it might be wiser to consider the kind of asker you |
Tx:8.100 | When you ask the Holy Spirit for what would hurt you, He cannot | answer, because nothing can hurt you and so you are asking for |
Tx:8.109 | will ever be one which would increase fear. It is possible that His | answer will not be heard at all. It is impossible, however, that it |
Tx:8.110 | in him is your faith in yourself. If you would know God and His | Answer, believe in me whose faith in you cannot be shaken. Can you |
Tx:8.111 | and making you able to hear them. His words are the Holy Spirit's | answer to you. Is your faith in him strong enough to let you hear? |
Tx:8.112 | Voice for God in yourself alone because you are not alone. And His | answer is only for what you are. You will not know the trust I have |
Tx:8.112 | Would God have created a Voice for you alone? Could you hear His | answer except as He answers all of God's Sons? Hear of your brother |
Tx:8.113 | you would hear me, hear my brothers in whom God's Voice speaks. The | answer to all prayers lies in them. You will be answered as you hear |
Tx:8.113 | to all prayers lies in them. You will be answered as you hear the | answer in everyone. Do not listen to anything else, or you will not |
Tx:8.114 | by believing in them for the sake of what God gave them. They will | answer you if you learn to ask truth of them. Do not ask for |
Tx:8.114 | is not going beyond yourself but toward yourself. Hear only God's | Answer in His Sons, and you are answered. |
Tx:8.118 | can share everything. This is the way, and the only way, to have His | answer because His answer is all you can ask for and want. Say, then, |
Tx:8.118 | This is the way, and the only way, to have His answer because His | answer is all you can ask for and want. Say, then, to everyone, |
Tx:9.21 | not know where to look for truth and therefore does not have the | answer to the problem of healing. There is an advantage to bringing |
Tx:9.27 | in nightmares of any kind. The light in his mind will therefore | answer the questioner, who must decide with God that there is light |
Tx:9.53 | and therefore you cannot want the ego. Your grandeur is God's | answer to the ego because it is true. Littleness and grandeur cannot |
Tx:9.58 | Spirit what it is and He will tell you, but do not be afraid of His | answer, for it comes from God. It is an exalted answer because of its |
Tx:9.58 | not be afraid of His answer, for it comes from God. It is an exalted | answer because of its Source, but the Source is true and so is Its |
Tx:9.58 | answer because of its Source, but the Source is true and so is Its | answer. Listen and do not question what you hear, for God does not |
Tx:9.58 | have you replace the ego's belief in littleness with His own exalted | answer to the question of your being, so that you can cease to |
Tx:9.92 | call of creation. Put all your faith in it, and God Himself will | answer you. |
Tx:10.1 | for life is creation. Therefore, your decision is always an | answer to the question, “Who is my father?” And you will be faithful |
Tx:10.4 | to your true Father, Who hath need of you as I have. Will you not | answer the call of love with joy? |
Tx:10.77 | can withhold truth except from himself. Yet God will not refuse the | answer He gave you. Ask, then, for what is yours but which you did |
Tx:10.78 | Do I want the problem, or do I want the | answer? |
Tx:10.79 | Decide for the | answer and you will have it, for you will see it as it is, and it is |
Tx:10.80 | very clearly that if you ask you will receive. The Holy Spirit will | answer every specific problem as long as you believe that problems |
Tx:10.80 | problem as long as you believe that problems are specific. His | answer is both many and one, as long as you believe that the one is |
Tx:10.81 | be capable of misinterpreting the question you must ask to learn His | answer? |
Tx:10.82 | You have heard the | answer, but you have misunderstood the question. You have believed |
Tx:10.83 | the truth of God without fear, for only thus can you learn that His | answer is the release from fear. Beautiful Child of God, you are |
Tx:10.83 | Son of God, and you have asked it of me. No one of us but has the | answer in him, to give to anyone who asks it of him. Ask anything of |
Tx:10.83 | who asks it of him. Ask anything of God's Son and His Father will | answer you, for Christ is not deceived in His Father, and His Father |
Tx:10.85 | request. What problems will not disappear in the presence of God's | answer? Ask, then, to learn of the reality of your brother because |
Tx:10.89 | Ask what they are of the Teacher of Reality, and hearing His | answer, you too will laugh at your fears and replace them with peace. |
Tx:11.6 | you be helped. Deny him your help, and you will not perceive God's | answer to you. The Holy Spirit does not need your help in |
Tx:11.8 | need in yourself, you will be healed. For you will recognize God's | answer as you want it to be, and if you want it in truth, it will be |
Tx:11.8 | if you want it in truth, it will be truly yours. Every appeal you | answer in the name of Christ brings the remembrance of your Father |
Tx:11.8 | your need, then, hear every call for help as what it is, so God can | answer you. |
Tx:11.15 | to remember God. For you forgot your brothers with Him, and God's | answer to your forgetting is but the way to remember. |
Tx:11.16 | for your Father wills you to know your brother as yourself. | Answer his call for love and yours is answered. Healing is the love |
Tx:11.28 | about the “what” and the “how” of salvation, and this is the only | answer. Never lose sight of this, and never allow yourself to believe |
Tx:11.28 | allow yourself to believe even for an instant that there is another | answer. For you will surely place yourself among the poor, who do not |
Tx:11.72 | and I have answered it, but you will not look upon me nor hear the | answer which you sought. That is because you do not yet want only |
Tx:11.80 | in his memory. You can deny it, but you cannot lose it. A Voice will | answer every question you ask, and a Vision will correct the |
Tx:11.80 | invisible is the only truth, and what you have not heard is the only | answer. God would reunite you with yourself and did not abandon you |
Tx:12.12 | cloud that obscures it, your love for your Father would impel you to | answer His call and leap into Heaven. You believe that attack is |
Tx:12.22 | given you creation, He could not take it from you. He could but | answer your insane request with a sane answer which would abide with |
Tx:12.22 | it from you. He could but answer your insane request with a sane | answer which would abide with you in your insanity. [And this He did. |
Tx:12.22 | with you in your insanity. [And this He did. No one who hears His | answer but will give up insanity.] For His answer is the reference |
Tx:12.22 | did. No one who hears His answer but will give up insanity.] For His | answer is the reference point beyond illusions from which you can |
Tx:12.35 | do they communicate with those who are not there, and it is they who | answer them, and no one hears their answer save him who called upon |
Tx:12.35 | not there, and it is they who answer them, and no one hears their | answer save him who called upon them, and he alone believes they |
Tx:12.39 | of Him. Yet He would release you from it and set you free. His sane | answer tells you that what you have offered yourself is not true, but |
Tx:12.53 | rise to your Creator, He will return your thanks in His clear | answer to your call. For it can never be that His Son called upon Him |
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:13.75 | for yourself. You are not bereft of help, and Help that knows the | answer. Would you be content with little, which is all that you alone |
Tx:13.75 | gift of God. Ask it not therefore of yourselves. Instead, accept His | answer, for He knows that you are worthy of everything God wills for |
Tx:13.80 | Spirit makes for you? Learn of His wisdom and His love and teach His | answer to everyone who struggles in the dark. For you decide for them |
Tx:13.81 | Him. In everything be led by Him and do not reconsider. Trust Him to | answer quickly, surely, and with love for everyone who will be |
Tx:14.4 | the knowledge of what you are with God. And only the Holy Spirit can | answer God for you, for only He knows what God is. Everything else |
Tx:14.8 | it away and keep it from his sight. Bring innocence to light in | answer to the call of the Atonement. Never allow purity to remain |
Tx:14.51 | can be asked to do that which requires no judgment of your own. The | answer is very simple. The power of God, and not of you, engenders |
Tx:14.55 | Father, let the Holy Spirit order your thoughts and give only the | answer with which He answers you. Everyone seeks for love as you do |
Tx:14.68 | that you would accept, you are unable to depend on miracles to | answer all your problems for you. |
Tx:15.26 | you every time you make a decision. For every decision you make does | answer this and invites sorrow or joy accordingly. |
Tx:15.34 | for Heaven and greatness. Forget not that his call is yours, and | answer him with me. God's power is forever on the side of His host, |
Tx:15.42 | to let everything that interferes with it go forever?” If the | answer is no, then the Holy Spirit's readiness to give it to you is |
Tx:15.59 | love, your call remains as strong. Nor do you think that, by God's | answer to him, your hope of answer is diminished. On the contrary, |
Tx:15.59 | strong. Nor do you think that, by God's answer to him, your hope of | answer is diminished. On the contrary, you are far more inclined to |
Tx:15.98 | only question is who is to be destroyed, you or another? You seek to | answer this question in your special relationships, in which you are |
Tx:15.100 | and see it outside yourself. In you are both the question and the | answer—the demand for sacrifice and the peace of God. |
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:16.41 | truth together, and then together we go straight to God in joyous | answer to His call for His completion. |
Tx:16.42 | you across lifts you from time into eternity. Waken from time and | answer fearlessly the call of Him Who gave eternity to you in your |
Tx:17.29 | that when truth calls to you, as it does constantly, you | answer with a substitute. Every special relationship which you have |
Tx:17.29 | the call of truth. In a sense the special relationship was the ego's | answer to the creation of the Holy Spirit, Who was God's answer to |
Tx:17.29 | the ego's answer to the creation of the Holy Spirit, Who was God's | answer to the separation. For although the ego did not understand |
Tx:17.49 | Him Who answered you. He heard. Has He not been very explicit in His | answer? You are not now wholly insane. Can you deny that He has given |
Tx:17.74 | of faithlessness, withheld and left unused, that faith might | answer to the call of truth. The holy instant is the shining example, |
Tx:17.76 | faith to truth is enormous and far greater than you realize. But to | answer truth with faith entails no strain at all. |
Tx:18.32 | instant is the result of your determination to be holy. It is the | answer. The desire and the willingness to let it come precedes its |
Tx:18.36 | You merely ask the question. The | answer is given. Seek not to answer it, but merely receive the answer |
Tx:18.36 | You merely ask the question. The answer is given. Seek not to | answer it, but merely receive the answer as it is given. In preparing |
Tx:18.36 | The answer is given. Seek not to answer it, but merely receive the | answer as it is given. In preparing for the holy instant, do not |
Tx:18.62 | placed upon love and joined it where it is and where it led you in | answer to its gentle call to be at peace. |
Tx:18.81 | Love's | answer is inevitable. It will come because you came without the body |
Tx:19.38 | will not wait to give him this, for you will call to him and he will | answer you, recognizing in your call the Call of God. And you will |
Tx:19.66 | world the joyous message of the end of guilt, and all the world will | answer. Think of your happiness as everyone offers you witness of the |
Tx:19.82 | be corrected. For God has answered this insane idea with His own, an | Answer which left Him not and therefore brings the Creator to the |
Tx:19.82 | brings the Creator to the awareness of every mind which heard His | Answer and accepted it. |
Tx:19.84 | seen as safety, the great dark savior from the light of truth, the | answer to the Answer, the silencer of the Voice that speaks for God. |
Tx:19.84 | the great dark savior from the light of truth, the answer to the | Answer, the silencer of the Voice that speaks for God. Yet the |
Tx:19.84 | God. Yet the retreat to death is not the end of conflict. Only God's | Answer is its end. The obstacle of your seeming love for death that |
Tx:20.19 | A simple question yet remains and needs an | answer. Do you like what you have made—a world of murder and attack |
Tx:20.21 | over all perception answered. Take not the judgment of the world as | answer to the question, “What am I?” |
Tx:20.23 | that does not know. Yet it is he you asked, and it is to his | answer that you would adjust. This one wild thought, fierce in its |
Tx:20.24 | totally bereft of judgment? And if you have, would you believe the | answer and adjust to it as if it were the truth? The world you look |
Tx:20.24 | adjust to it as if it were the truth? The world you look on is the | answer that it gave you, and you have given it power to adjust the |
Tx:20.24 | you, and you have given it power to adjust the world to make its | answer true. You asked this puff of madness for the meaning of your |
Tx:20.24 | of your unholy relationship and adjusted it according to its insane | answer. How happy did it make you? Did you meet with joy to bless the |
Tx:21.52 | obvious, simple, and remains unasked. But think not reason could not | answer it. |
Tx:21.53 | Its alien nature to the ego is proof you will not find the | answer there. Yet if it must be so, it must exist. And if it exists |
Tx:21.54 | to ask why you are unaware of what is so, for this must have an | answer if the plan of God for your salvation is complete. And it must |
Tx:21.54 | because its Source knows not of incompletion. Where would the | answer be but in the Source? And where are you but there, where this |
Tx:21.54 | be but in the Source? And where are you but there, where this same | answer is? Your Identity, as much a true effect of this same Source |
Tx:21.54 | Your Identity, as much a true effect of this same Source as is the | answer, must therefore be together and the same. |
Tx:21.78 | Consider carefully your | answer to the last question you have left unanswered still. And let |
Tx:21.83 | so often, if they had? Until the last decision has been made, the | answer is both “yes” and “no.” For you have answered “yes” without |
Tx:21.88 | an asking for, and made by one whom God Himself will never fail to | answer. God has already given him all that he really wants. Yet what |
Tx:21.89 | carefully why it should be you have not yet decided how you would | answer the final question. Your answer to the others has made it |
Tx:21.89 | have not yet decided how you would answer the final question. Your | answer to the others has made it possible to help you be but |
Tx:24.15 | the truth of what you really are, how can you know the truth? What | answer that the Holy Spirit gives can reach you, when it is your |
Tx:24.15 | specialness to which you listen and which asks and answers? Its tiny | answer, soundless in the melody which pours from God to you eternally |
Tx:24.38 | wish that you might see your brother sinless. To specialness the | answer must be “no.” A sinless brother is its enemy, while sin, if it |
Tx:24.67 | The test of everything on earth is simply this: “What is it for?” The | answer makes it what it is for you. It has no meaning of itself, yet |
Tx:25.39 | God has given him that you might hear in him His Call to you and | answer by returning unto God what is His own. |
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 not just that one |
Tx:25.78 | Are you willing to be released from all effects of sin? You cannot | answer this until you see all that the answer must entail. For if you |
Tx:25.78 | effects of sin? You cannot answer this until you see all that the | answer must entail. For if you answer “yes,” it means you will forgo |
Tx:25.78 | this until you see all that the answer must entail. For if you | answer “yes,” it means you will forgo all values of this world in |
Tx:25.80 | Be certain any | answer to a problem the Holy Spirit solves will always be one in |
Tx:25.80 | And this must be true because He asks no sacrifice of anyone. An | answer which demands the slightest loss to anyone has not resolved |
Tx:26.32 | instant time was gone, for that was all it ever was. What God gave | Answer to is answered and is gone. |
Tx:26.34 | Only in the past—an ancient past, too short to make a world in | answer to creation—did this world appear to rise. So very long ago, |
Tx:26.41 | illusion was denied in but the time it took for God to give His | answer to illusion for all time and every circumstance. And then it |
Tx:26.49 | is not true of anything that is apart from it. Yet has God given | answer to the world of sickness which applies to all its forms. God's |
Tx:26.49 | to the world of sickness which applies to all its forms. God's | answer is eternal, though it operates in time where it is needed. Yet |
Tx:26.50 | God's | answer lies where the belief in sin must be, for only there can its |
Tx:26.51 | in any way, and all must yield with equal ease to what God gave as | answer to them all. God's Will is One. And any wish that seems to go |
Tx:26.56 | to this world which death and desolation seem to rule. In joyous | answer will creation rise within you to replace the world you see |
Tx:26.62 | form they took. In every miracle all healing lies, for God gave | answer to them all as one. And what is one to Him must be the same. |
Tx:26.64 | not needed where there is no pain or suffering. Forgiveness is the | answer to attack of any kind. So is attack deprived of its effects, |
Tx:26.65 | arrogant to be as He created you or to make use of what He gave to | answer all His Son's mistakes and set him free. But it is arrogant to |
Tx:26.65 | gift of God to you is limitless. There is no circumstance it cannot | answer and no problem which is not resolved within its gracious light. |
Tx:26.67 | everyone, as theirs to you. Call on your brother's name and God will | answer, for on Him you call. Could He refuse to answer when He has |
Tx:26.67 | name and God will answer, for on Him you call. Could He refuse to | answer when He has already answered all who call on Him? A miracle |
Tx:27.36 | and is every problem quietly resolved. In conflict there can be no | answer and no resolution, for its purpose is to make no resolution |
Tx:27.36 | for its purpose is to make no resolution possible and to ensure no | answer will be plain. A problem set in conflict has no answer, for it |
Tx:27.36 | to ensure no answer will be plain. A problem set in conflict has no | answer, for it is seen in different ways. And what would be an answer |
Tx:27.36 | no answer, for it is seen in different ways. And what would be an | answer from one point of view is not an answer in another light. You |
Tx:27.36 | ways. And what would be an answer from one point of view is not an | answer in another light. You are in conflict. Thus it must be clear |
Tx:27.36 | another light. You are in conflict. Thus it must be clear you cannot | answer anything at all, for conflict has no limited effects. Yet if |
Tx:27.36 | at all, for conflict has no limited effects. Yet if God gave an | answer, there must be a way in which your problems are resolved, for |
Tx:27.37 | given you 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 |
Tx:27.37 | should be brought and left. Here they belong, for here their | answer is. [And where its answer is, a problem must be simple and be |
Tx:27.37 | and left. Here they belong, for here their answer is. [And where its | answer is, a problem must be simple and be easily resolved.] It must |
Tx:27.37 | It must be pointless to attempt to solve a problem where the | answer cannot be. Yet just as surely it must be resolved if it is |
Tx:27.37 | Yet just as surely it must be resolved if it is brought to where the | answer is. |
Tx:27.38 | and resolved. Outside there will be no solution, for there is no | answer there that could be found. Nowhere outside a single simple |
Tx:27.38 | asked. A question asked in hate cannot be answered, because it is an | answer in itself. A double question asks and answers, both attesting |
Tx:27.40 | A pseudo-question has no | answer. It dictates the answer even as it asks. Thus is all |
Tx:27.40 | A pseudo-question has no answer. It dictates the | answer even as it asks. Thus is all questioning within the world a |
Tx:27.41 | state is free to ask this question, for he does not want an honest | answer where the conflict ends. Only within the holy instant can an |
Tx:27.41 | And from the meaning of the question does the meaningfulness of the | answer come. Here is it possible to separate your wishes from the |
Tx:27.41 | answer come. Here is it possible to separate your wishes from the | answer, so it can be given you and also be received. The answer is |
Tx:27.41 | from the answer, so it can be given you and also be received. The | answer is provided everywhere. Yet it is only here it can be heard. |
Tx:27.42 | An honest | answer asks no sacrifice because it answers questions truly asked. |
Tx:27.42 | asking not if sacrifice is meaningful at all. And so unless the | answer tells “of whom,” it will remain unrecognized, unheard, and |
Tx:27.42 | and thus the question is preserved intact because it gave the | answer to itself. The holy instant is the interval in which the mind |
Tx:27.42 | instant is the interval in which the mind is still enough to hear an | answer which is not entailed within the question asked. It offers |
Tx:27.43 | Therefore, attempt to solve no problems in a world from which the | answer has been barred. But bring the problem to the only place which |
Tx:27.43 | been barred. But bring the problem to the only place which holds the | answer lovingly for you. Here are the answers which will solve your |
Tx:27.43 | unanswered. In the holy instant, you can bring the question to the | answer and receive the answer that was made for you. |
Tx:27.43 | instant, you can bring the question to the answer and receive the | answer that was made for you. |
Tx:27.52 | from the rest. Yet they are solved together. And their common | answer shows the questions could not have been separate. |
Tx:27.55 | seems different because it has a different name, and so it seems to | answer to a different sound. Except for this, the witnesses of sin |
Tx:27.87 | that brings you pain. Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will make | answer with this very simple truth. For this one answer takes away |
Tx:27.87 | to Him He will make answer with this very simple truth. For this one | answer takes away the cause of every form of sorrow and of pain. The |
Tx:27.87 | the cause of every form of sorrow and of pain. The form affects His | answer not at all, for He would teach you but the single cause of all |
Tx:29.43 | there. Each idol that you worship when God calls will never | answer in His place. There is no other answer you can substitute and |
Tx:29.43 | when God calls will never answer in His place. There is no other | answer you can substitute and find the happiness His answer brings. |
Tx:29.43 | is no other answer you can substitute and find the happiness His | answer brings. Seek not outside yourself. For all your pain comes |
Tx:30.5 | set the rules for how you should react to them. And then another | answer cannot but produce confusion and uncertainty and fear. |
Tx:30.10 | But there will still be times when you have judged already. Now the | answer will provoke attack unless you quickly straighten out your |
Tx:30.10 | attack unless you quickly straighten out your mind to want an | answer that will work. Be certain this has happened if you feel |
Tx:30.10 | if you feel yourself unwilling to sit by and ask to have the | answer given you. This means you have decided by yourself and cannot |
Tx:30.11 | that you have asked a question by yourself and must have set an | answer in your terms. Then say, |
Tx:30.13 | This cancels out the terms which you have set and lets the | answer show you what the question must have really been. |

Tx:30.27 | Thus you now can ask a question that makes sense, and so the | answer will make sense as well. Nor will you fight against it, for |
Tx:30.34 | that you would never lose your will when He gave you His perfect | answer. Hear it now that you may be reminded of His love and learn |
Tx:30.41 | and this is given you by being His. God knows not form. He cannot | answer you in terms which have no meaning. And your will could not be |
Tx:30.70 | in a way which is not justified, your pardon will become the | answer to attack that has been made. And thus is pardon |
Tx:30.91 | obscure and give to them reality instead. And Heaven gives no | answer to the prayer, nor can a miracle be given you to heal |
Tx:31.9 | it be whole and that you do not leave its call unheard. Without your | answer is it left to die, as it is saved from death when you have |
Tx:31.10 | hate, each call to war. Yet you will recognize Him as you give Him | answer in the language that He calls. He will appear when you have |
Tx:31.11 | And all the world will give you joy and peace. For as you hear, you | answer. And behold! Your answer is the proof of what you learned. Its |
Tx:31.11 | you joy and peace. For as you hear, you answer. And behold! Your | answer is the proof of what you learned. Its outcome is the world you |
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 |
W1:22.7 | The | answer is surely obvious. |
W1:27.7 | will you remember? How much do you want today's idea to be true? | Answer one of these questions, and you have answered the other. You |
W1:39.4 | Your holiness is the | answer to every question that was ever asked, is being asked now, or |
W1:47.9 | Repeat the idea for today often. Use it as your | answer to any disturbance. Remember that peace is your right because |
W1:50.1 | Here is the | answer to every problem that confronts you today and tomorrow and |
W1:50.3 | within you, eternal, changeless and forever unfailing. This is the | answer to whatever confronts you today. Through the Love of God in |
W1:61.4 | think about this idea as often as possible today. It is the perfect | answer to all illusions and therefore to all temptation. It brings |
W1:65.2 | you have closed upon yourself, in your own hands. It gives you the | answer to all the searching you have done since time began. |
W1:69.8 | He has heard you and has answered you. You may not recognize His | answer yet, but you can indeed be sure that it is given you, and you |
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 |
W1:71.8 | this certainty today. And let us rejoice that there is an | answer to what seems to be a conflict with no resolution possible. |
W1:71.12 | what needs to be done by you in His plan for your salvation. He will | answer you in proportion to your willingness to hear His Voice. |
W1:71.12 | to listen. This is enough to establish your claim to God's | answer. |
W1:72.13 | Then we will wait in quiet for His | answer. |
W1:72.15 | to find it. We are asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that the | answer will be true because of Whom you ask. Whenever you feel your |
W1:72.17 | He will | answer. Be determined to hear. |
W1:72.20 | so in silence, preferably with your eyes closed, and listen for His | answer. |
W1:77.6 | and uncertainty today. We are asking a real question at last. The | answer is a simple statement of a simple fact. You will receive the |
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 |
W1:79.4 | you with a vast number of problems, each requiring a different | answer. This perception places you in a position in which your |
W1:79.6 | is separation, no matter what form it takes, you could accept the | answer because you would see its relevance. Perceiving the underlying |
W1:79.7 | periods today, we will ask what the problem is and what is the | answer to it. We will not assume that we already know. We will try to |
W1:79.7 | we have failed to recognize. We will ask what it is and wait for the | answer. We will be told. Then we will ask for the solution to it. And |
W1:79.8 | problems are. We are trying to recognize that we have been given the | answer by recognizing the problem so that the problem and the answer |
W1:79.8 | the answer by recognizing the problem so that the problem and the | answer can be brought together and we can be at peace. |
W1:79.9 | by need. You will see many problems today, each one calling for an | answer. Our efforts will be directed toward recognizing that there is |
W1:79.9 | directed toward recognizing that there is only one problem and one | answer. In this recognition are all problems resolved. In this |
W1:80.2 | only problem, opening the way for the Holy Spirit to give you God's | answer. You have laid deception aside and seen the light of truth. |
W1:80.2 | have accepted salvation for yourself by bringing the problem to the | answer. And you can recognize the answer because the problem has been |
W1:80.2 | by bringing the problem to the answer. And you can recognize the | answer because the problem has been identified. |
W1:80.4 | we will claim the peace that must be ours when the problem and the | answer have been brought together. The problem must be gone because |
W1:80.4 | have been brought together. The problem must be gone because God's | answer cannot fail. Having recognized one, you have recognized the |
W1:80.4 | is inherent in the problem. You are answered and have accepted the | answer. You are saved. |
W1:90.4 | The miracle behind this grievance will resolve it for me. The | answer to this problem is the miracle which it conceals. |
W1:90.5 | elapse before it can be worked out. I do not see the problem and the | answer as simultaneous in their occurrence. That is because I do not |
W1:90.5 | That is because I do not yet realize that God has placed the | answer together with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by |
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 |
W1:98.4 | still. While those as yet unborn will hear the call we heard and | answer it, when they have come to make their choice again. We do not |
W1:98.11 | up the way to happiness, and peace and trust will be His gifts, His | answer to your words. He will respond with all His faith and joy and |
W1:99.7 | Now are you entrusted with this plan, along with Him. He has one | answer to appearances regardless of their form, their size, their |
W1:100.11 | periods. It is your Self Who calls to you today. And it is Him you | answer every time you tell yourself you are essential to God's plan |
W1:106.10 | Ask and expect an | answer. Your request is one whose answer has been waiting long to be |
W1:106.10 | Ask and expect an answer. Your request is one whose | answer has been waiting long to be received by you. It will begin the |
W1:109.1 | to look on danger and on sorrow. And we have the thought that will | answer our asking with what we request. |
W1:121.1 | Here is the | answer to your search for peace. Here is the key to meaning in a |
W1:122.4 | hold more hope than what forgiveness brings? Why would you seek an | answer other than the answer that will answer everything? Here is the |
W1:122.4 | what forgiveness brings? Why would you seek an answer other than the | answer that will answer everything? Here is the perfect answer, given |
W1:122.4 | brings? Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that will | answer everything? Here is the perfect answer, given to imperfect |
W1:122.4 | than the answer that will answer everything? Here is the perfect | answer, given to imperfect questions, meaningless requests, |
W1:122.5 | Here is the | answer! Seek for it no more. You will not find another one instead. |
W1:122.6 | Here is the | answer! Would you stand outside while all of Heaven waits for you |
W1:122.6 | of God. Let us today rejoice that this is so, for here we have an | answer, clear and plain, beyond deceit in its simplicity. All the |
W1:122.7 | Here is the | answer! Do not turn away in aimless wandering again. Accept salvation |
W1:122.9 | it today, aware we hold the key within our hands, accepting Heaven's | answer to the hell we made, but where we would remain no more. |
W1:122.11 | sure rewards of questions answered, and what your acceptance of the | answer brings. Today it will be given you to feel the peace |
W1:127.8 | Call to your Father, certain that His Voice will | answer. He Himself has promised this. And He Himself will place a |
W1:133.17 | or believe you see some difficult decisions facing you, be quick to | answer with this simple thought: |
W1:135.25 | question which remains unanswered yet in need of answering until the | Answer comes to you at last. |
W1:139.3 | is the doubter? What is it he doubts? Whom does he question? Who can | answer him? He merely states that he is not himself and therefore, |
W1:139.4 | Yet he could never be alive at all unless he knew the | answer. If he asks as if he did not know, it merely shows he does not |
W1:139.5 | of you that asks this question, for it asks of one who knows the | answer. Were it part of you, certainty would be impossible. |
W1:140.14 | for healing hourly and take a minute as the hour strikes to hear the | answer to our prayer be given us as we attend in silence and in joy. |
W1:152.15 | it with this same invitation to your Self. God's Voice will | answer, for He speaks for you and for your Father. He will substitute |
W1:161.1 | in the simple words in which we practice today's idea. Here is the | answer to temptation which can never fail to welcome in the Christ |
W1:161.1 | the world passed safely by, and Heaven now restored. Here is the | answer of the Voice of God. |
W1:161.15 | And He will | answer Whom you called upon, for He will hear the Voice of God in you |
W1:161.15 | Whom you called upon, for He will hear the Voice of God in you and | answer in your own. Behold him now whom you had seen as merely flesh |
W1:162.1 | advance. These words are sacred, for they are the words God gave in | answer to the world you made. By them it disappears, and all things |
W1:162.2 | trumpet of awakening that sounds around the world. The dead awake in | answer to its call. And those who live and hear this sound will never |
W1:164.2 | and more distinct—an ancient call to which He gives an ancient | answer. You will recognize them both. For they are but your answer to |
W1:164.2 | ancient answer. You will recognize them both. For they are but your | answer to your Father's call to you. Christ answers for you, echoing |
W1:166.10 | Will. There was a need He did not understand, to which He gave an | Answer. That is all. And you who have this Answer given you have need |
W1:166.10 | to which He gave an Answer. That is all. And you who have this | Answer given you have need no more of anything but this. |
W1:168.2 | be forever satisfied; despair of any kind unthinkable. His grace His | answer is to all despair, for in it lies remembrance of His Love. |
W1:168.3 | the cobwebs of our sleep. His gift of grace is more than just an | answer. It restores all memories the sleeping mind forgot; all |
W1:R5.10 | I brought to you from Him Who sees your bitter need and knows the | answer God has given Him. Together we review these thoughts. Together |
W1:183.8 | give an invitation which can never be refused. And God will come and | answer it Himself. Think not He hears the little prayers of those who |
W1:183.12 | Son of God who calls upon his Father. And his Father's Voice gives | answer in his Father's holy Name. In this eternal, still |
W1:184.12 | our purpose is to let our minds accept what He has given as the | answer to the pitiful inheritance you made as fitting tribute to the |
W1:185.11 | for what he has already? Who could be unanswered who requests an | answer which is his to give? The peace of God is yours. |
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 |
W1:193.3 | He could not see nor understand by giving of His Love and making | Answer to a question which, though meaningless, His Son had asked of |
W1:193.18 | To all that speaks of terror, | answer thus: |
W1:198.2 | Illusion makes illusion. Except one. Forgiveness is illusion that is | answer to the rest. |
W1:198.5 | Is it not wiser to be glad you hold the | answer to your problems in your hand? Is it not more intelligent to |
W1:200.8 | perception to the gate of Heaven and the way beyond. Peace is the | answer to conflicting goals, to senseless journeys, frantic, vain |
W2:221.1 | in silence and in certainty and love, sure You will hear my call and | answer me. |
W2:221.2 | Our minds are joined. We wait with one intent—to hear our Father's | answer to our call, to let our thoughts be still and find His peace, |
W2:232.1 | remained with me and always will be there to hear my call to You and | answer me. As evening comes, let all my thoughts be still of You and |
W2:267.2 | Let me attend Your | Answer, not my own. Father, my heart is beating in the peace the |
W2:WIC.2 | mind is part of His and His of yours. He is the part in which God's | Answer lies, where all decisions are already made and dreams are |
W2:321.2 | Today we | answer for the world, which will be freed along with us. How glad are |
W2:327.1 | an unsupported faith. For God has promised He will hear my call and | answer me Himself. Let me but learn from my experience that this is |
W2:356.1 | Father, You promised You would never fail to | answer any call Your Son might make to You. It does not matter where |
W2:356.1 | nor what he believes he has become. He is Your Son, and You will | answer him. The miracle reflects Your Love, and thus it answers him. |
W2:356.1 | of sin, and who is sinless cannot suffer pain. Your Name gives | answer to Your Son because to call Your Name is but to call his own. |
W2:FL.6 | Voice of His own Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to | answer him and say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? Be |
W2:FL.6 | and say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? Be certain He will | answer thus, for these are His own Words to you. And more than that |
W2:361.1 | receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will hear and | answer me because He speaks for God, my Father, and His holy Son. |
W2:E.1 | can call in vain. Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the | answer and will gladly give it to you if you simply turn to Him and |
M:I.5 | salvation and the salvation of the world? This manual attempts to | answer these questions. |
M:1.2 | to speak for it and redeem the world. Many hear it, but few will | answer. But it is all a matter of time. Everyone will answer in the |
M:1.2 | but few will answer. But it is all a matter of time. Everyone will | answer in the end, but the end can be a long, long way off. It is |

M:4.20 | as yet, but not in doubt. The time will be as right as is the | answer. And this is true for everything that happens now or in the |
M:4.21 | carefully limited for a time. To give up all problems to one | Answer is to reverse the thinking of the world entirely. And that |
M:5.4 | such terms merely state or describe the problem. They do not | answer it. |
M:8.6 | exist within it—so too are illusions without distinction. The one | answer to sickness of any kind is healing. The one answer to all |
M:8.6 | The one answer to sickness of any kind is healing. The one | answer to all illusions is truth. |
M:9.2 | He does not make his own decisions; he asks his Teacher for His | answer, and it is this he follows as his guide for action. This |
M:11.3 | The text explains that the Holy Spirit is the | Answer to all problems you have made. These problems are not real, |
M:11.3 | out of which no way seems possible—God has sent His Judgment to | answer yours. Gently His Judgment substitutes for yours. And through |
M:11.4 | and made it fit to welcome peace. And peace descends on it in joyous | answer. Peace now belongs here, because a thought of God has entered. |
M:11.4 | earth bows down before its gracious Presence, and it leans down in | answer to raise it up again. Now is the question different. It is no |
M:12.1 | The | answer to this question is “one.” One wholly perfect teacher whose |
M:14.2 | the ending of the world with Him. It is His Call God's teachers | answer, turning to Him in silence to receive His Word. The world will |
M:16.1 | been asked and answered, and he keeps in constant contact with the | Answer. He is set and sees the road on which he walks stretch surely |
M:17.3 | his one appeal. This then is easily responded to with just one | answer, and this answer will enter the teacher's mind unfailingly. |
M:17.3 | This then is easily responded to with just one answer, and this | answer will enter the teacher's mind unfailingly. From there it |
M:18.3 | And truth becomes diminutive and meaningless. Correction has one | answer to all this and to the world that rests on this: |

M:23.7 | suit the need. Jesus has come to answer yours. In him you find God's | Answer. Do you then teach with him, for he is with you; he is always |
M:24.5 | in reincarnation himself or discuss it with others who do? The | answer is certainly not! If he does believe in reincarnation, it |
M:25.1 | The | answer to this question is much like the preceding one. There are, of |
M:26.4 | Salvation is not theoretical. Behold the problem, ask for the | answer, and then accept it when it comes. Nor will its coming be long |
M:29.1 | This manual is not intended to | answer all questions that both teacher and pupil may raise. In fact, |
M:29.2 | but a smile, being as yet unready for more? No one should attempt to | answer these questions alone. Surely no teacher of God has come this |
M:29.2 | the Holy Spirit's particular care and guidance. Ask and He will | answer. The responsibility is His, and He alone is fit to assume it. |

W1:72.14 | and hear and learn. “What is salvation, Father?” Ask and you will be | answered. Seek and you will find. |
W1:79.12 | for a moment and ask what it is. You will be heard and you will be | answered. |

Tx:6.14 | them yourselves. That is because the Holy Spirit is one, and | anyone who listens is inevitably led to demonstrate His way for all. |
Tx:6.19 | often misunderstood it and always for the same reason that makes | anyone misunderstand anything. Their own imperfect love made them |
Tx:7.12 | are siding with the one thing in this world which is true. Whenever | anyone can listen fairly to both sides of any issue, he will make the |
Tx:7.25 | “I am with you always,” I meant it literally. I am not absent to | anyone in any situation. Because I am always with you, you are the |
Tx:7.25 | and therefore cannot be meaningfully perceived as belonging to | anyone at the expense of another. Such a perception makes it |
Tx:7.73 | You are not there, and that is not you. Do not see this picture in | anyone, or you have accepted it as you. All illusions about the |

Tx:8.29 | have it of me, you must give it. Rehabilitation does not come from | anyone else. You can have guidance from without, but you must accept |
Tx:8.34 | to imprison you do not love. Therefore, when you seek to imprison | anyone, including yourself, you do not love him, and you cannot |
Tx:8.78 | No one can doubt the ego's skill in building up false cases. Nor can | anyone doubt your willingness to listen until you will not to |
Tx:8.98 | care. He will, however, become very fearful and hence very angry if | anyone suggests that God has not left him. The martyr, on the other |
Tx:9.6 | can have no effect at all on the truth in you. To perceive errors in | anyone and to react to them as if they were real is to make them real |
Tx:9.15 | and confusion which makes it likely that the ego will attack | anyone and anything for no reason at all. This is exactly what the |
Tx:9.16 | seems, is really the crucial issue in the whole separation fantasy. | Anyone who elects a totally insane guide must be totally insane |
Tx:9.28 | needs no help for this. He will tell you exactly what to do to help | anyone He sends to you for help and will speak to him through you if |
Tx:10.7 | Mind contain nothing? If your place in His Mind cannot be filled by | anyone except you, and your filling it was your creation, without you |
Tx:10.83 | asked it of me. No one of 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 |

Tx:11.47 | are not good choices for teachers, either for themselves or for | anyone else. You would hardly turn to them to establish the |
Tx:11.70 | only what you gave it. You cannot really give anything but love to | anyone or anything, nor can you really receive anything else from |
Tx:13.15 | attack himself and make himself guilty is insane. In any form, in | anyone, believe this not. For sin and condemnation are the same, and |
Tx:13.21 | use them unto your release. No one who would unite in any way with | anyone for his own salvation will find it in that strange |
Tx:13.25 | As long as you believe that guilt is justified in any way in | anyone whatever he may do, you will not look within, where you would |
Tx:13.60 | When you teach | anyone that truth is true, you learn it with him. And so you learn |

Tx:14.51 | And being always maximal, it offers everything to every call from | anyone. There is no order of difficulty here. A call for help is |
Tx:14.60 | 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 you try to |
Tx:15.6 | bids him leap from hell into oblivion. The only time the ego allows | anyone to look upon with some amount of equanimity is the past. And |
Tx:15.66 | always seems to attract through love and has no attraction at all to | anyone who perceives that it attracts through guilt. |
Tx:15.78 | is complete forgiveness here, for there is no desire to exclude | anyone from your completion in sudden recognition of the value of his |
Tx:15.102 | has come. He comes demanding nothing. No sacrifice of any kind of | anyone is asked by Him. In His Presence, the whole idea of sacrifice |

Tx:16.6 | not confuse your role with His, for this will never bring peace to | anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it is His perception and His |

Tx:25.80 | no one loses. And this must be true because He asks no sacrifice of | anyone. An answer which demands the slightest loss to anyone has not |
Tx:25.80 | sacrifice of anyone. An answer which demands the slightest loss to | anyone has not resolved the problem but has added to it and made it |
Tx:25.80 | seen unfairly. Thus is justice not accorded to the Son of God. When | anyone is seen as losing, he has been condemned. And punishment |
Tx:25.86 | law on which salvation rests—that justice must be done to all if | anyone is to be healed. No one can lose, and everyone must benefit. |

Tx:3.55 | when method and content are separated, it has not been utilized for | anything but an attempt to escape a fundamental and entirely |

Tx:7.102 | as powerful as His because it is His. The ego's wishes do not mean | anything, because the ego wishes for the impossible. You can wish for |
Tx:7.105 | way out of the fallacy is to decide that you do not have to decide | anything. Everything has been given you by God's decision. That is |
Tx:7.108 | environment that is worthy of him, because his own worth is beyond | anything he can make. |

Tx:8.9 | such as this? Does the total disregard of anything it teaches make | anything but sense? Is this the teacher to whom a Son of God should |

Tx:8.10 | The ego cannot teach you | anything as long as your will is free, because you will not listen to |
Tx:8.22 | its own goal. The ego does not know this, because it does not know | anything. But you can know this, and you will know it if you are |
Tx:8.42 | welcome us as I am welcoming you. Forget not the Kingdom of God for | anything the world has to offer. The world can add nothing to the |
Tx:8.43 | His Kingdom, it has no power. No one created by God can find joy in | anything except the eternal. That is not because he is deprived of |
Tx:8.43 | anything except the eternal. That is not because he is deprived of | anything else, but because nothing else is worthy of him. What God |

Tx:8.56 | Spirit to use on behalf of union of the Sonship, you will not see | anything physical except as what it is. Use it for truth, and you |
Tx:8.56 | it, because you have already done so by misusing it. Interpret | anything apart from the Holy Spirit, and you will mistrust it. This |
Tx:8.63 | A medium of communication will lose its usefulness if it is used for | anything else. To use a medium of communication as a medium of attack |
Tx:8.65 | joyous Teacher, and you must be learning amiss. To see a body as | anything except a means of pure extension is to limit your mind and |
Tx:8.74 | which He is perfectly equipped to fulfill. The ego as a judge gives | anything but an impartial judgment. When the ego calls on a witness, |
Tx:8.77 | of knowing how you feel. When we said that the ego does not know | anything, we said the one thing about the ego that is wholly true. |
Tx:8.78 | doubt your willingness to listen until you will not to tolerate | anything except truth. When you lay the ego aside, it will be gone. |
Tx:8.79 | let it reflect your will to attack. Health is the natural state of | anything whose interpretation is left to the Holy Spirit, Who |
Tx:8.79 | is left to the Holy Spirit, Who perceives no attack on | anything. Health is the result of relinquishing all attempts to use |
Tx:8.89 | healing. This is because it is the only level at which healing means | anything. The re-establishing of meaning in a chaotic thought system |
Tx:8.90 | of what it really is. It is apparent that reality cannot “threaten” | anything except illusions, since reality can only uphold truth. The |
Tx:8.91 | It is impossible to learn | anything consistently in a state of panic. If the purpose of this |
Tx:8.94 | times that the Holy Spirit will never call upon you to sacrifice | anything. But if you ask the sacrifice of reality of yourselves, the |

Tx:8.98 | to receive them? [The Holy Spirit is totally incapable of giving you | anything that does not come from God. His task is not to make |
Tx:8.98 | you anything that does not come from God. His task is not to make | anything for you.] He cannot make you want something you do not want. |
Tx:8.100 | being aware only of meaning. The ego cannot ask the Holy Spirit for | anything because there is complete communication failure between |
Tx:8.109 | is wasted. The very fact that one has asked the Holy Spirit for | anything will ensure a response. Yet it is equally certain that no |
Tx:8.113 | be answered as you hear the answer in everyone. Do not listen to | anything else, or you will not hear truth. |
Tx:9.3 | makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not attempt to understand | anything that arises from it. Since He does not understand it, He |
Tx:9.3 | it, He does not judge it, knowing that nothing it engenders means | anything. |
Tx:9.9 | Atonement is for all, because it is the way to undo the belief that | anything is for you alone. To forgive is to overlook. Look, then, |
Tx:9.15 | confusion which makes it likely that the ego will attack anyone and | anything for no reason at all. This is exactly what the ego does. It |
Tx:9.21 | into awareness, but only to teach that they are not real and that | anything they contain is meaningless. The unhealed healer cannot do |
Tx:9.37 | is one time, its only dimension being “always.” This cannot mean | anything to you, however, until you remember God's open arms and |
Tx:9.37 | understanding. Could you but accept one of them, you would not want | anything the world has to offer. Everything else would be totally |
Tx:9.39 | you are all united, and in this only. There will be disagreement on | anything else, but not on this. This, then, is where peace abides. |
Tx:9.41 | the Holy Spirit's perception of you really is. He is not deceived by | anything you do, because He never forgets what you are. The ego is |
Tx:9.44 | foundation is not true. Therefore, nothing that arises from it means | anything. The Holy Spirit judges every belief you hold in terms of |
Tx:9.47 | not offer to God as wholly fitting for Him, for you do not want | anything else. Return your part of Him, and He will give you all of |
Tx:9.59 | to regain eternity. You cannot do this as long as you believe that | anything which happens to you is caused by factors outside yourself. |
Tx:9.61 | self so you could be like Him. That is why your will is holy. Can | anything exceed the love of God? Can anything, then, exceed your |
Tx:9.61 | is why your will is holy. Can anything exceed the love of God? Can | anything, then, exceed your will? Nothing can reach you from beyond |
Tx:9.61 | Believe this, and you will realize how much is up to you. When | anything threatens your peace of mind, ask yourself, |
Tx:9.72 | [All attack is self-attack. It cannot be | anything else. Arising from your own decision not to be what you are, |
Tx:9.100 | of God. Would He allow Himself to suffer? And would He offer His Son | anything that is not acceptable to Him? |
Tx:9.105 | Do not perceive | anything God did not create, or you are denying Him. His is the only |
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: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:19.46 | uprooted and floating aimlessly, can land and settle briefly upon | anything, for it has no purpose now. Before the Holy Spirit entered |

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: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:22.50 | Forget not, when you feel the need arise to be defensive about | anything, you have identified yourself with an illusion. And |

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:7.101 | two. The Holy Spirit's main function is to teach you to tell them | apart. However strange it may seem that this is necessary, it |
Tx:8.12 | is freedom. Believing them to be the same, how can you tell them | apart? Can you ask the part of your mind that taught you to believe |
Tx:8.49 | He had already given. Our function is to function together, because | apart from each other we cannot function at all. The whole power of |

Tx:10.13 | is His Life, which He has given to you. Even in time you cannot live | apart from Him, for sleep is not death. What He created can sleep, |

Tx:10.49 | you from God is only fear, regardless of the form it takes and quite | apart from how the ego wants you to experience it, is therefore the |
Tx:10.51 | to know that God's function is yours and happiness cannot be found | apart from your joint will. Recognize only that the ego's goal, which |

Tx:12.25 | would it not be more desirable to have been wrong, even | apart from the fact that you were wrong? While it could perhaps be |
Tx:12.37 | them as though it were the other. For love cannot abide in a world | apart, where when it comes it is not recognized. If you see your own |
Tx:12.57 | as loving as his Father. Continuous with his Father, he has no past | apart from Him. So he has never ceased to be his Father's witness and |
Tx:13.4 | Apart from the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit has no function. | |
Tx:13.13 | it, for being nothing but your own projection, it has no meaning | apart from what you found in it and placed your faith in. Be faithful |
Tx:13.30 | only as God loves. Seek not to love unlike Him, for there is no love | apart from His. Until you recognize that this is true, you will have |
Tx:14.2 | on earth with which it can compare and nothing you have ever felt, | apart from Him, that resembles it ever so faintly. You cannot even |

Tx:14.16 | cannot be shared, and so its value is unknown. The hidden is kept | apart, but value always lies in joint appreciation. What is concealed |
Tx:14.17 | dispel, unless it is concealed from love's beneficence. What is kept | apart from love cannot share its healing power, because it has been |
Tx:14.19 | of its opposite perfectly clear. Keep not guilt and guiltlessness | apart, for your belief that you can have them both is meaningless. |
Tx:14.19 | can have them both is meaningless. All you have done by keeping them | apart is lose their meaning by confusing them with each other. And so |
Tx:14.24 | yours, but not both. Opposites must be brought together and not kept | apart. For their separation is only in your mind, and they are |
Tx:14.28 | You cannot have them both, for each denies the other. | Apart, this fact is lost from sight, for each in a separate place can |
Tx:14.33 | to God? You cannot, then, offer it to His Son. For they are not | apart, and gifts to one are offered to the other. |

Tx:15.37 | in perfect freedom. Every allegiance to a plan of salvation that is | apart from Him diminishes the value of His Will for you in your own |
Tx:15.54 | of love is the meaning God gave to it. Give to it any meaning | apart from His, and it is impossible to understand it. Every brother |
Tx:15.75 | union of bodies thus becomes the way in which you would keep minds | apart. For bodies cannot forgive. They can only do as the mind |
Tx:15.92 | of Christ we celebrate together, for it has no meaning if we are | apart. |
Tx:15.96 | Sacrifice is so essential to your thought system that salvation | apart from sacrifice means nothing to you. Your confusion of |
Tx:15.101 | you think you see some scraps of safety. Do not try longer to keep | apart your thoughts and the Thought that has been given you. When |
Tx:15.106 | in what you have cast outside yourself, and it has no meaning at all | apart from you. It is what you preferred to keep that has no meaning, |
Tx:15.106 | its meaning. For unless the universe were joined in you, it would be | apart from God, and to be without Him is to be without meaning. |
Tx:15.108 | darken the joy of Christmas, for the time of Christ is meaningless | apart from joy. Let us join in celebrating peace by demanding no |
Tx:16.26 | what you taught is true. Alone you stand outside your teaching and | apart from it. But with them you must learn that you but taught |
Tx:16.32 | but as a place of safety from which hatred is split off and kept | apart. The special love partner is acceptable only as long as he |
Tx:16.54 | love has lost its meaning. Would you want this to be possible, even | apart from its evident impossibility? For if it were possible, you |
Tx:16.66 | a relationship where it could not go with you, for you would not be | apart from it. |
Tx:16.77 | given and will be truly received. For God's gifts have no reality | apart from your receiving them. Your receiving completes His giving. |
Tx:17.22 | God's Son is one. Whom God has joined as one, the ego cannot break | apart. The spark of holiness must be safe, however hidden it may be, |
Tx:17.27 | relate to your creations as God to His. For nothing God created is | apart from happiness, and nothing God created but would extend |
Tx:17.61 | for truth and sanity, its outcome must be peace. And this is quite | apart from what the outcome is. If peace is the condition of truth |
Tx:17.73 | dream. You whose relationship shares the Holy Spirit's goal are set | apart from loneliness because the truth has come. Its call for faith |
Tx:17.79 | Father gave peace to you. For the goal of peace cannot be accepted | apart from its conditions, and you had faith in it, for no one |
Tx:18.12 | the other holds within it. Would you still further weaken and break | apart what is already broken and hopeless? Is it here that you would |
Tx:18.20 | alone, for therein lay its misery. As its unholiness kept it a thing | apart, its holiness will become an offering to everyone. |
Tx:18.31 | together after a long and meaningless journey which you undertook | apart and which led nowhere. You have found each other and will light |
Tx:18.49 | of the Son of God, who left not his Father and dwells not | apart from Him. Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely |
Tx:18.57 | seems to surround you, shutting you off from others and keeping you | apart from them [and them from you]. It is not there. There is no |
Tx:18.72 | Limits on love will always seem to shut Him out and to keep you | apart from Him. The body is a tiny fence around a little part of a |
Tx:18.73 | is this little thought, this infinitesimal illusion, holding itself | apart against the universe. The sun becomes the sunbeam's “enemy” |
Tx:18.74 | Even that segment is not lost to them, for it could not survive | apart from them. And what it thinks it is in no way changes its total |
Tx:18.75 | for by themselves they do mean nothing. Nor have they any life | apart and by themselves. |
Tx:18.76 | surround it, preventing it from joining with the rest and keeping it | apart from its Creator. This little aspect is no different from the |
Tx:18.77 | content to every part. The little aspect which you think you set | apart is no exception. |
Tx:18.84 | Son of God, whole and omnipotent, sole ruler of the kingdom it set | apart to tyrannize by madness into obedience and slavery. |
Tx:18.88 | joyless. Yet its intensity is veiled by its heavy coverings and kept | apart from what was made to keep it hidden. The body cannot see this, |
Tx:19.4 | faithlessness to him has separated you from him and kept you both | apart from being healed. Your faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy |
Tx:19.7 | needed. And it is here that healing is. For God gave healing not | apart from sickness, nor established remedy where sickness cannot be. |
Tx:19.13 | you faith to give unto each other. Your faithlessness had driven you | apart, and so you did not recognize salvation in each other. Yet |
Tx:19.32 | seems to be everywhere. And God and His creation seem to be split | apart and overthrown. For sin would prove what God created holy could |
Tx:19.33 | which could attack His Will and overcome it and give His Son a will | apart from His and stronger. And each part of God's fragmented |
Tx:19.39 | you are beholding Him. For you are looking where He is and not | apart from Him. You cannot see the Holy Spirit, but you can see your |
Tx:19.43 | cannot be withheld from you. It is your purpose. You cannot will | apart from this. You have no purpose apart from each other nor apart |
Tx:19.43 | your purpose. You cannot will apart from this. You have no purpose | apart from each other nor apart from the one you asked the Holy |
Tx:19.43 | will apart from this. You have no purpose apart from each other nor | apart from the one you asked the Holy Spirit to share with you. The |
Tx:19.57 | knowing its littleness? Or would I teach that bodies cannot keep us | apart? Mine was no greater value than yours; no better means for |
Tx:19.66 | to the holy union of the Father and Son in you! And keep you not | apart from what is offered you in gratitude for giving peace its home |
Tx:19.70 | in it will come with it, and what you think you are can never be | apart from it. The body is the great seeming betrayer of faith. In it |
Tx:20.46 | and shared. It has no secrets; nothing that it would keep | apart and hide. It walks in sunlight, open-eyed and calm, in smiling |
Tx:20.50 | the idols that are worshiped here are shrouded in mystery and kept | apart from those who worship them. This is the temple dedicated to no |
Tx:20.57 | with their Father from themselves and keep remembrance of His love | apart from their awareness? |
Tx:20.64 | end for which it was intended, nor is it valued as a separate thing | apart from the intention. The means seem real because the goal is |
Tx:21.27 | of his Source. His union with It is the Source of his creating. | Apart from this he has no power to create, and what he makes is |
Tx:21.48 | ego's weakness is revealed in both your sight. What it would keep | apart has met and joined, and looks upon the ego unafraid. Little |
Tx:21.53 | God, for what God wills for him he must receive. For God wills not | apart from him, nor does the Will of God wait upon time to be |
Tx:21.60 | sinless world? And who can see a sinful world and look upon himself | apart from it? Sin would maintain you must be separate. But reason |
Tx:21.68 | who blessed him, reason will tell you that it cannot be you stand | apart from blessing. The gratitude he offers you reminds you of the |
Tx:22.1 | God hath joined have come together and need no longer look on sin | apart. No two can look on sin together, for they could never see it |
Tx:22.2 | common roof that shelters neither—in the same room and yet a world | apart. |
Tx:22.8 | What could your secrets be except another will that is your own, | apart from His? Reason would tell you that this is no secret that |
Tx:22.19 | in sin if the belief excludes one living thing and holds it out | apart from its forgiveness. |
Tx:22.25 | Nothing you made has any power over you unless you still would be | apart from your Creator and with a will opposed to His. For only if |
Tx:23.11 | is it up to you to say what shall be part of you and what is kept | apart. The war against yourself was undertaken to teach the Son of |
Tx:23.13 | is no victor, and there is no victory. And truth stands radiant, | apart from conflict, untouched and quiet in the peace of God. |
Tx:23.16 | Him and of yourself is home to both of you, who dwell as one and not | apart. Open the door of His most holy home and let forgiveness sweep |
Tx:23.37 | of Heaven. Where God created life, there life must be. In any state | apart from Heaven, life is illusion. At best, it seems like life; at |
Tx:24.6 | become a means and end at once. For specialness not only sets | apart but serves as grounds from which attack on those who seem |
Tx:24.9 | only partial welcome or would let you think that you are better off | apart. Is it not always your belief your specialness is limited by |
Tx:24.16 | messages the special hear convince them they are different and | apart—each in his special sins and “safe” from love, which does not |
Tx:24.24 | your tiny self. Nothing is sacred here but unto you and you alone, | apart and separate from all your brothers, safe from all intrusions |
Tx:24.24 | yourself, to rule in madness and in loneliness your special kingdom, | apart from God, away from truth and from salvation. |
Tx:24.71 | and withers, flourishes and dies. And you cannot conceive of you | apart from it. You brand it sinful, and you hate its acts, judging it |
Tx:25.1 | within you cannot be outside. And it is certain that you cannot be | apart from what is at the very center of your life. What gives you |
Tx:25.6 | end are never separate. And thus you learn what seems to have a life | apart has none. |
Tx:25.7 | You are the means for God—not separate nor with a life | apart from His. His Life is manifest in you who are His Son. Each |
Tx:25.7 | to let Him draw aside the veil that seems to keep you separate and | apart. |
Tx:25.14 | Is it not also true that you have found some hope | apart from this—some glimmering, inconstant, wavering, yet dimly |
Tx:25.17 | The frame that God has given it but serves His purpose, not yours | apart from His. It is your separate purpose that obscures the picture |
Tx:25.22 | to share; that you may see as one what never has been separate nor | apart from all God's love as given equally. |
Tx:25.33 | will they be there for you to see. Nothing is harmful or beneficent | apart from what you wish. It is your wish that makes it what it is in |
Tx:25.53 | is not his Father's Son because the Son is mad, and sanity must lie | apart from both the Father and the Son. This you believe. Think not |
Tx:25.71 | vengeance without love has gained in strength by being separate and | apart from love. And what but vengeance now can help and save, while |
Tx:25.83 | to be withheld from others as less worthy, more condemned, and thus | apart from healing. Who is there who can be separate from salvation |
Tx:25.84 | gift, were given specially to an elect and special group and kept | apart from others as less deserving, then is He ally to specialness. |
Tx:26.4 | can be made to sacrifice. And while you see your brother as a body, | apart from you and separate in his cell, you are demanding sacrifice |
Tx:26.9 | he made to keep himself from justice? Could your function be a task | apart and separate from His Own? |
Tx:26.19 | this world and Heaven. It is not a place, and when you reach it is | apart from time. Here is the meeting-place where thoughts are brought |
Tx:26.26 | must join, for nothing stands between to keep them separate and | apart. The sinless must perceive that they are one, for nothing |
Tx:26.26 | one, in gladness recognizing what is part of them has not been kept | apart and separate. |
Tx:26.48 | meaning. Brought to truth, its senselessness is quite apparent. Kept | apart from truth, it seems to have a meaning and be real. |
Tx:26.49 | 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 of sickness |
Tx:26.49 | be. Ideas leave not their source, and their effects but seem to be | apart from them. Ideas are of the mind. What is projected out and |
Tx:26.52 | of two opposing powers until God becomes impatient, splits the world | apart, and relegates attack unto Himself. Thus has He lost His Mind, |
Tx:26.54 | in your perception by a body which is clearly separate and a thing | apart. Yet what this symbol represents is but your wish to be apart |
Tx:26.54 | thing apart. Yet what this symbol represents is but your wish to be | apart and separate. Forgiveness takes away what stands between your |
Tx:26.54 | and yourself. It is the wish that you be joined with him and not | apart. We call it “wish” because it still conceives of other choices |
Tx:26.57 | became your function, sharing it with God. It is not understood | apart from Him and therefore has no meaning in this world. |
Tx:26.59 | seem to be beyond you to control or to prevent. What is thus kept | apart can never join. |
Tx:26.69 | There is a distance you would keep | apart from one another, and this space you see as time because you |
Tx:26.81 | gather in Their Own. What has been locked is opened; what was held | apart from light is given up, that light may shine on it, and leave |
Tx:27.10 | in any way at all. It has no life, but neither is it dead. It stands | apart from all experience of fear or love. For now it witnesses to |
Tx:27.20 | Holy Spirit knows your healing is the witness unto his and cannot be | apart from his at all. As long as he consents to suffer, you will be |
Tx:27.28 | one. Here is the function given It conceived to be Its own and not | apart from that Its Giver keeps because it has been shared. In His |
Tx:27.43 | are the answers which will solve your problems because they stand | apart from them, and see what can be answered—what the question is. |
Tx:27.47 | What stands | apart from you when you accept the blessing that the holy instant |
Tx:27.64 | what I do. Your presence justifies my wrath, and you exist and think | apart from me. While you attack, I must be innocent. And what I |
Tx:27.66 | not themselves a cause. Nor will the cause be changed by seeing it | apart from its effects. The cause produces the effects which then |
Tx:27.68 | does not depend on him. Whatever cause they have is something quite | apart from him, and what he sees is separate from his mind. He cannot |
Tx:27.77 | to teach itself its pains and joys are different and can be told | apart. |
Tx:28.5 | The Holy Spirit's use of memory is quite | apart from time. He does not seek to use it as a means to keep the |
Tx:28.17 | is recognized as not within the body, and its innocence is quite | apart from it and where all healing is. Where then is healing? Only |
Tx:28.29 | guilt without your aid in letting it perceive itself as separate and | apart from you. Thus is the body not perceived as sick by both your |
Tx:28.31 | of pestilence and every form of ill because it is a wish to keep | apart and not to join. And thus it seems to give a cause to sickness |
Tx:28.34 | What is the world except a little gap perceived to tear eternity | apart and break it into days and months and years? And what are you |
Tx:28.36 | Love has set Its table in the space that seemed to keep your Guests | apart from you. |
Tx:28.38 | not accepting them as causing you and giving you effects. You stand | apart from them but not apart from him who dreams them. Thus you |
Tx:28.38 | you and giving you effects. You stand apart from them but not | apart from him who dreams them. Thus you separate the dreamer from |
Tx:28.38 | and what is but illusion in yourself you do not know and cannot tell | apart. |
Tx:28.57 | the secret vow which you have made with every brother who would walk | apart. This is the secret oath you take again, whenever you perceive |
Tx:28.58 | was made in secret, in agreement with another's secret wish to be | apart from you, as you would be apart from him. Unless you both agree |
Tx:28.58 | with another's secret wish to be apart from you, as you would be | apart from him. Unless you both agree that is your wish, it can have |
Tx:28.59 | be your agreement with each one—that you be one with him and not | apart. And he will keep the promise that you make with him because it |
Tx:28.59 | and I of you forever. Be you perfect as Myself, for you can never be | apart from Me.” His Son remembers not that he replied “I will,” |
Tx:28.61 | savior waits for healing, and the world waits with him. Nor are you | apart from it. For healing will be one or not at all, its oneness |
Tx:28.64 | the dream that you can be alone and think without affecting those | apart from you. To be alone must mean you are apart, and if you are, |
Tx:28.64 | affecting those apart from you. To be alone must mean you are | apart, and if you are, you cannot but be sick. This seems to prove |
Tx:28.64 | are, you cannot but be sick. This seems to prove that you must be | apart. Yet all it means is that you tried to keep a promise to be |
Tx:28.64 | solid and substantial in itself. Yet its stability cannot be judged | apart from its foundation. If it rests on straw, there is no need to |
Tx:29.2 | is treacherous to those who fear, since fear and hate can never be | apart. No one who hates but is afraid of love and therefore must he |
Tx:29.4 | to separate will you agree to meet from time to time and keep | apart in intervals of separation, which protect you from the |
Tx:29.13 | them for your own. He needs your help in giving them to all who walk | apart believing they are separate and alone. They will be healed when |
Tx:29.15 | given “life” is not alive and symbolizes but your wish to be alive | apart from life, alive in death, with death perceived as life, and |
Tx:29.21 | a body, one with him, without the wall the world has built to keep | apart all living things who know not that they live. Within the dream |
Tx:29.22 | what really fills the gap so long perceived as keeping you | apart. |
Tx:29.37 | Such is the core of fear in every dream that has been kept | apart from use by Him Who sees a different function for a dream. When |
Tx:29.53 | seek beyond his little self for strength to raise his head and stand | apart from all the misery the world reflects. This is the penalty for |
Tx:29.53 | and quiet calm which liberates you from the world and lets you stand | apart in quiet and in peace [unlimited]. |
Tx:29.54 | and cannot leave the mind that is its source. Nor is its form | apart from the idea it represents. All forms of anti-Christ oppose |
Tx:29.55 | this place where what is everywhere has been excluded and been kept | apart? What hand could be held up to block God's way? Whose voice |
Tx:30.37 | it is by your will the world is given freedom. Nor can you be free | apart from Him Whose holy will you share. God turns to you to ask the |
Tx:30.43 | share the attributes of their creator, nor have they a separate life | apart from his. The thoughts you think are in your mind, as you are |
Tx:30.48 | God holds of you exist but where you are? Is your reality a thing | apart from you and in a world which your reality knows nothing of? |
Tx:30.75 | be except a false forgiveness of yourself and everyone who seems | apart from you? |
Tx:30.76 | real and which appearances are true. If one appearance must remain | apart from healing, one illusion must be part of truth. And you could |
Tx:30.86 | who gains and him who loses. There could be no thought of sacrifice | apart from this idea. And it is this idea of different goals which |
Tx:31.5 | God but to uphold a wish that It could be opposed, and that a will | apart from It was yet more real than It. And this has learning sought |
Tx:31.49 | Concepts are learned. They are not natural. | Apart from learning, they do not exist. They are not given, and they |
Tx:31.64 | the body without help but do not understand how to behold a world | apart from it. It is your world salvation will undo and let you see |
Tx:31.76 | one error—that there is a space between you and your brother, kept | apart by an illusion of yourself which holds him off from you and you |
Tx:31.78 | of the Son of God? How would you know his holiness while you see him | apart from yours? For holiness is seen through holy eyes that look |
Tx:31.79 | choice of whether you would join with what you see or keep yourself | apart and separate. |
Tx:31.88 | those who chose His strength instead of their own weakness, seen | apart from Him. They will redeem the world, for they are joined in |
W1:14.7 | not matter. What God did not create can only be in your own mind | apart from His. Therefore, it has no meaning. In recognition of this |
W1:19.6 | Apart from the “as needed” application of today's idea, at least | |
W1:20.2 | and pain, love and fear. You are now learning how to tell them | apart. And great indeed will be your reward. |
W1:30.2 | Thus we are trying to join with what we see, rather than keeping it | apart from us. That is the fundamental difference between vision and |
W1:43.3 | You cannot see | apart from God because you cannot be apart from God. Whatever you do, |
W1:43.3 | You cannot see apart from God because you cannot be | apart from God. Whatever you do, you do in Him because whatever you |

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: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 | 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: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: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 |

M:23.1 | The Bible says, “Ask in the name of Jesus Christ.” Is this merely an | appeal to magic? A name does not heal, nor does an invocation call |

M:23.6 | really means. Yet we have witnesses. It is to them that wisdom would | appeal. There have been those whose learning far exceeds what you can |

Tx:10.53 | by breaking it up is clearly the characteristically contradictory | approach of the ego to everything. Never forget that the ego believes |
Tx:17.58 | the outcome, which can be anything. The reason for this disorganized | approach is evident. The ego does not know what it wants to come of |
Tx:17.60 | everything which helps you meet it. It is quite noticeable that this | approach has brought you closer to the Holy Spirit's sorting out of |

Tx:26.10 | each one is solved in just the same respect and through the same | approach. The aspects which need solving do not change, whatever form |
Tx:31.55 | Although this step has gains, it does not yet | approach a basic question. Something must have gone before these |
W1:20.1 | even active cooperation and interest have been asked. This casual | approach has been intentional and very carefully planned. We have not |
W1:41.6 | reach past all these things. You are trying to leave appearances and | approach reality. |
W1:44.8 | While no particular form of | approach is advocated, what is needful is a sense of the importance |
W1:45.11 | For this kind of practice, only one thing is necessary— | approach it as you would an altar dedicated in Heaven itself to God |
W1:49.3 | to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your Self. We will | approach this happiest and holiest of thoughts with confidence, |
W1:107.9 | of truth. The shaky and unsteady footsteps of illusion is not our | approach today. We are as certain of success as we are sure we live |
W1:121.3 | of stillness; terrified of darkness, yet more terrified at the | approach of light. |
W1:131.17 | There walks with you the Spirit Heaven sent you that you might | approach this door some day and through His aid slip effortlessly |
W1:136.1 | is automatic. It dispels this meaningless illusion by the same | approach that carries all of them to truth and merely leaves them |
W1:156.6 | frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who would waste an instant in | approach to God Himself for such a senseless whim? |
W1:156.7 | is gone with all its fantasies. They keep you bound no longer. The | approach to God is near. And in the little interval of doubt which |

Tx:2.45 | however, that the concept of Atonement in physical terms is not | appropriate. However, the next step is to realize that a temple is |

Tx:11.3 | in responding with anger to a plea for help? No response can be | appropriate except the willingness to give it to him, for this and |
Tx:11.6 | motivation, but you do need His. Only appreciation is an | appropriate response to your brother. Gratitude is due him for both |
Tx:17.49 | for this another relationship to which your former goal was quite | appropriate. You can escape from your distress only by getting rid of |
Tx:20.64 | lies not in them, but in their purpose. Both are but means, each one | appropriate to the end for which it is employed. Neither can serve |

W1:23.3 | fantasy a better word for such a process and hallucination a more | appropriate term for the result? |
W1:24.1 | outcome that would make you happy. Therefore you have no guide to | appropriate action and no way of judging the result. What you do is |
W1:40.2 | of situations during the day when closing your eyes would not be | appropriate. Do not miss a practice period because of this. You can |
W1:42.8 | Remember, though, that active searching for relevant thoughts is not | appropriate for today's exercises. Try merely to step back and let |
W1:67.4 | Any attribute which is in accord with God as He defines Himself is | appropriate for use. We are trying today to undo your definition of |

Tx:3.21 | fear. This is particularly unfortunate because frightened people are | apt to be vicious. Sacrificing another in any way is a clear cut |
Tx:3.27 | The partly innocent are | apt to be quite stupid at times. It is not until their innocence |
Tx:6.4 | be and has been misunderstood. This is only because the fearful are | apt to perceive fearfully. |

W1:72.3 | for salvation. But let us consider the kinds of things which you are | apt to hold grievances for. Are they not always associated with |
W1:134.1 | Let us review the meaning of “forgive,” for it is | apt to be distorted and to be perceived as something which entails an |
W1:163.3 | too quickly lost however hard to gain, uncertain in their outcome, | apt to fail the hopes they once engendered and to leave the taste of |
M:4.7 | until the second is complete. Therefore, the period of overlap is | apt to be one in which the teacher of God feels called upon to |

arbitrarily (2) | ||
Tx:8.92 | truth is. All that this kind of association means is that you are | arbitrarily endowing something quite beyond your awareness with |

arbitrary (4) | ||
Tx:11.33 | will. The world you made is therefore totally chaotic, governed by | arbitrary and senseless “laws,” and without meaning of any kind. For |
W1:158.3 | The time is set already. It appears to be quite | arbitrary. Yet there is no step along the road that anyone but takes |
W1:184.7 | of learning can begin, a new perception can be gained, and all the | arbitrary names the world bestows can be withdrawn as they are raised |
M:10.4 | without ever realizing you were wrong? Why would you choose such an | arbitrary basis for decision-making? Wisdom is not judgment; it is |

Tx:13.50 | do not underestimate the actual extent of its insanity. There is no | area of your perception that it has not touched, and your dream is |

W1:1.3 | Then look farther away from your immediate | area, and apply the idea to a wider range: |
W1:2.1 | in particular, and do not attempt to include everything in an | area or you will introduce strain. Merely glance easily and fairly |
W1:74.9 | If there is one conflict | area which seems particularly difficult to resolve, single it out for |
areas (9) | ||
Tx:3.44 | always involves some misuse of will, because it involves the mind in | areas of uncertainty. The mind is very active because it has |
Tx:7.22 | purpose than this course. The Holy Spirit has taken very diversified | areas of your learning and has applied them to a unified curriculum. |
Tx:8.70 | Knowledge never changes, so its constellation is permanent. The only | areas in which part-whole relationships have any meaning are those in |
Tx:11.47 | There are | areas in your learning skills which are so impaired that you can |
Tx:17.49 | part entirely if you choose not to do so. But you must exclude major | areas of fantasy from each other to save your sanity. Hear not this |
Tx:20.58 | parts you find more difficult than others are merely indications of | areas where means and end are still discrepant. And this produces |
W1:108.6 | where it is tried, the thought behind it can be generalized to other | areas of doubt and double vision. And from there it will extend and |
M:22.1 | perception. Partial Atonement is a meaningless idea, just as special | areas of hell in Heaven is inconceivable. Accept Atonement, and you |

Tx:8.88 | prevents you from doing exactly what I ask, and everything which | argues for your doing it. I give you no limits because God lays none |
W1:132.6 | and that it changes as you change your mind. But it is pride that | argues you have come into a world quite separate from yourself, |
M:18.1 | to confuse interpretation with fact or illusion with truth. If he | argues with his pupil about a magic thought, attacks it, tries to |
argument (6) | ||
Tx:4.71 | the ego feels safe, because the body's vulnerability is its own best | argument that you cannot be of God. This is the belief that the ego |
Tx:6.62 | for you. Again as always, He re-interprets what the ego uses as an | argument for separation into a demonstration against it. If the mind |
Tx:7.11 | why they perceive “the freedoms” as many instead of as one. Yet the | argument that underlies the defense of freedom is perfectly valid. |
Tx:8.72 | that you are not invulnerable? This is a particularly appealing | argument from the ego's point of view because it obscures the obvious |
Tx:8.76 | need to depend on external guidance. The ego uses this as its best | argument for your need for its guidance. It dictates endless |
Tx:27.21 | the Holy Spirit be deterred an instant, even less, to reason with an | argument for sickness such as this? And need your healing be delayed |
arguments (4) | ||
Tx:7.11 | and you do respond to two conflicting voices. You have heard many | arguments on behalf of “the freedoms,” which would indeed have been |
W1:66.3 | at the truth about your function. We will not engage in ceaseless | arguments about what it is. We will not become hopelessly involved in |
W1:73.6 | Do you really want to weep and suffer and die? Forget the ego's | arguments which seek to prove all this is really Heaven. You know it |
W1:188.2 | already or was never there? It can so easily be looked upon that | arguments which prove it is not there become ridiculous. Who can deny |
aright (4) | ||
Tx:9.99 | message, He has answered you, and you will learn of Him if you hear | aright. The love of God is in everything He created, for His Son is |
Tx:11.52 | Everything else will be given you. For it is your will to learn | aright, and nothing can oppose the Will of God's Son. His learning is |
W1:190.1 | at all. There is no form it takes which will not disappear if seen | aright. For pain proclaims God cruel. How could it be real in any |

Tx:1.14 | 14. Miracles bear witness to truth. They are convincing because they | arise from conviction. Without conviction they deteriorate into |
Tx:1.71 | 44. Miracles | arise from a miraculous state of mind. By being one, this state of |

Tx:3.38 | no levels, and all conflict arises from the concept of levels. [Wars | arise where some regard others as if they were on a different level. |

Tx:4.45 | the impulses from the superconscious and perceives them as if they | arise in the unconscious. The ego judges what is to be accepted, and |
Tx:8.70 | they may well be inaccurate. Functions are part of being since they | arise from it, but the relationship is not reciprocal. The whole does |
Tx:9.10 | limited ideas of what you are. This limitation is where all errors | arise. The way to undo them, therefore, is not of you but for you. |

Tx:19.36 | and 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 |
Tx:19.37 | obstacles. Some of them you will try to impose. Others will seem to | arise from elsewhere—from your brothers and from various aspects of |
Tx:21.52 | or grasp the information it would give? All sorts of questions may | arise in it, but if the basic question stems from reason, it will not |
Tx:22.5 | disconnected, and your haunting fear of lack of meaning in yourself | arise? It is as though you wandered in without a plan of any kind |
Tx:22.50 | Forget not, when you feel the need | arise to be defensive about anything, you have identified yourself |
Tx:24.42 | Where could your peace | arise but from forgiveness? The Christ in you looks only on the truth |
Tx:26.59 | meaningful. And from this error does the world of sin and sacrifice | arise. This world is an attempt to prove your innocence while |
Tx:27.58 | for it is the effects of life it brings. The dying live, the dead | arise, and pain has vanished. Yet a miracle speaks not but for |

W1:73.1 | same as the ego's idle wishes, out of which darkness and nothingness | arise. The will you share with God has all the power of creation in |
W1:79.3 | to confront you, and as one is settled the next one and the next | arise. There seems to be no end to them. There is no time in which |
W1:80.6 | to apply the idea for today to any specific problem that may | arise. Say quickly: |
W1:81.3 | forms for applying today's idea when specific difficulties seem to | arise might be: |

W1:34.1 | is from your peace of mind that a peaceful perception of the world | arises. |
W1:34.5 | from temptation throughout the day. If a specific form of temptation | arises in your awareness, the exercise should take this form: |
W1:38.9 | form unless a specific problem concerning you or someone else | arises or comes to mind. In that event, use the more specific form of |
W1:54.2 | real one. But thoughts cannot be without effects. As the world I see | arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world rise before my |
W1:65.6 | to the idea for today. Rather, try to uncover each thought that | arises which would interfere with it. Note each one as it comes to |
W1:68.11 | of today's idea in this form, whenever any thought of grievance | arises against anyone, physically present or not: |

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 |

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 | 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 |

W2:323.1 | 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: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:FL.6 | We come in honesty to Him and say we did not understand and | ask Him to help us to learn His lessons through the Voice of His own |
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:8.49 | for me?” He will not hide it. He has revealed it to me, because I | asked it of Him and learned of what He had already given. Our |
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:10.15 | You are | asked to trust the Holy Spirit only because He speaks for you. He is |

Tx:11.27 | therefore, who have made the request outrageous, for nothing can be | asked of you, and every request of a brother is for you. Why would |

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:12.21 | In peace he needed nothing and | asked for nothing. In war he demanded everything and found nothing. |
Tx:12.44 | revealed. And all who would behold Him can see Him, for they have | asked for light. Nor will they see Him alone, for He is no more alone |
Tx:13.70 | No penalty is ever | asked of God's Son except by himself and of himself. Every chance |

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:20.9 | with the body's eyes, and they can see but thorns. Yet you have | asked for and received another sight. Those who accept the Holy |
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 | would show you otherwise must therefore seem unreal. All that is | asked of you is to make room for truth. You are not asked to make or |
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 |

W1:63.2 | in hell. This is no idle request that is being asked of you. You are | asked to accept salvation that it may be yours to give. |

W1:98.6 | 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. |

W1:160.3 | for not saying this? What could the reason be except that you had | asked this stranger in to take your place and let you be a stranger |
W1:160.6 | now. The miracle will come. For in his home his Self remains. It | asked no stranger in and took no alien thought to be Itself. And It |

Tx:8.77 | you feel. Sickness is merely another example of your insistence on | asking the guidance of a teacher who does not know the answer. The |

Tx:8.98 | When you ask the Universal Giver for what you do not want, you are | asking for what cannot be given, because it was never created. It was |
Tx:8.99 | your will. Ask for this and you will be answered because you will be | asking only for what belongs to you. |
Tx:8.100 | you, He cannot answer, because nothing can hurt you and so you are | asking for nothing. Any desire which stems from the ego is a desire |
Tx:8.108 | to him than its physical expression. In this case he is not really | asking for release from fear but for the removal of a symptom which |
Tx:8.118 | see Him. If you see Him in everyone, consider how much you will be | asking of Him and how much you will receive. He will deny you nothing |
Tx:9.12 | The ego, too, has a plan of forgiveness because you are | asking for one, though not of the right teacher. The ego's plan, of |
Tx:9.70 | to remember Him and behold! He will give you everything but for the | asking. |
Tx:9.80 | When a brother is sick, it is because he is not | asking for peace and therefore does not know he has it. The |

Tx:10.83 | His answer is the release from fear. Beautiful Child of God, you are | asking only for what I promised you. Do you believe I would deceive |
Tx:10.85 | with you everywhere. As you become willing to accept this Help by | asking for it, you will give it because you want it. Nothing will be |
Tx:10.90 | not exchange your fears for truth if the exchange is yours for the | asking? For if God is not deceived in you, you can be deceived only |
Tx:11.3 | willingness to give it to him, for this and only this is what he is | asking for. Offer him anything else, and you are assuming the right |

Tx:11.14 | those who are sick do not love themselves. Therefore, they are | asking for the love that would heal them but which they are denying |

Tx:17.45 | Holy Spirit wastes no time in introducing the practical results of | asking Him to enter. At once His goal replaces yours. This is |
Tx:18.59 | and would not limit it. You have escaped from fear to peace, | asking no questions of reality but merely accepting it. You have |
Tx:18.81 | you ask of love only what it offers everyone, neither less nor more. | Asking for everything, you will receive it. And your shining Self |
Tx:19.50 | their lord and master. Perception cannot obey two masters, each | asking for messages of different things in different languages. What |
Tx:20.68 | is yours is also not of you. Rejoice in what is yours but for the | asking and think not that you need make either means or end. All this |

Tx:30.26 | Perhaps there is another way to look at this. What can I lose by | asking? |
Tx:31.17 | but your own. What does he ask you for? And listen well! For he is | asking what will come to you because you see an image of yourself and |
Tx:31.19 | The answer that I give my brother is what I am | asking for. And what I learn of him is what I learn about myself. |

W1:72.15 | longer asking the ego what salvation is and where to find it. We are | asking it of truth. Be certain, then, that the answer will be true |
W1:72.15 | out, repeat your question and your request, remembering that you are | asking them of the infinite Creator of infinity, Who created you like |
W1:77.4 | to miracles. Closing your eyes, remind yourself that you are | asking only for what is rightfully yours. Remind yourself also that |
W1:77.4 | miracles are never taken from one and given to another and that in | asking for your rights you are upholding the rights of everyone. |
W1:77.5 | is accomplished. You cannot fail to be assured in this. You are but | asking that the Will of God be done. In doing this, you do not really |

W1:94.6 | promised that it will be revealed to all who ask for it. You are | asking now. You cannot fail because He cannot fail. |
W1:107.10 | Begin by | asking Him Who goes with you upon this undertaking that He be in your |

W1:130.8 | Begin your searching for the other world by | asking for a strength beyond your own, and recognize what it is you |
W1:157.4 | wills. And having joined your will with His this day, what you are | asking must be given you. Nothing is needed but today's idea to light |

asks (125) | ||
Tx:1.64 | The Golden Rule | asks you to behave toward others as you would have them behave toward |
Tx:3.53 | bothers you most is the fundamental question which man continually | asks of himself, but which cannot properly be directed to himself at |
Tx:4.1 | The Bible says that you should go with a brother twice as far as he | asks. It certainly does not suggest that you set him back on his |
Tx:4.51 | yours for Him. He has never failed to answer this request because it | asks only for what He has already willed. Those who call truly are |
Tx:4.72 | Therefore the mind | asks, “Where can I go for protection?” to which the ego replies, |
Tx:5.9 | this as a blessing. It is the blessing of miracle-mindedness. It | asks that you may think as I thought, joining with me in |
Tx:5.19 | and that one is not of God. But the other is given you by God Who | asks you only to listen to it. The Holy Spirit is in you in a very |
Tx:5.91 | You are merely asked to return to God the mind as He created it. He | asks you only for what He gave, knowing that this giving will heal |
Tx:5.92 | Voice of God Himself is in you? God commended His Spirit to you and | asks that you commend yours to Him. He wills to keep it in perfect |
Tx:7.103 | mean except that you want to be fearful? The Holy Spirit never | asks for sacrifice, but the ego always does. When you are confused |
Tx:8.2 | you would hardly be willing to throw it away so readily when the ego | asks for your allegiance. The distraction of the ego seems to |
Tx:8.80 | is. The ego does not know what a real question is, although it | asks an endless number. Yet you can learn this as you learn to |
Tx:8.108 | the state of healing is. It frequently happens that an individual | asks for physical healing because he is fearful of bodily harm. At |
Tx:10.83 | of me. No one of 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 |
Tx:11.26 | it. Remember that those who attack are poor. Their poverty | asks for gifts, not for further impoverishment. You who could help |
Tx:11.78 | Father's love holds him in perfect peace, and needing nothing, he | asks for nothing. Yet he is far from you whose Self he is, for you |
Tx:14.29 | do, trusting Him only to the small extent of believing that if He | asks it, you can do it. You will see how easily all that He asks can |
Tx:14.29 | if He asks it, you can do it. You will see how easily all that He | asks can be accomplished. |
Tx:14.30 | The Holy Spirit | asks of you but this—bring to Him every secret you have locked away |
Tx:15.12 | not give so short a time to the Holy Spirit for your salvation? He | asks no more, for He has no need of more. It takes far longer to |
Tx:15.65 | only love that is fully given and fully returned. Being complete, it | asks nothing. Being wholly pure, everyone joined in it has |
Tx:15.83 | of the Source of the attempt, it will succeed. The Holy Spirit | asks you to respond as God does, for He would teach you what you do |
Tx:16.7 | substitute your “miracle” for this. We once said that if a brother | asks a foolish thing of you, to do it. But be certain that this does |
Tx:16.19 | There is no greater love than to accept this and be glad. For love | asks only that you be happy and will give you everything that makes |
Tx:16.60 | to find you and comfort you. There is a way in which the Holy Spirit | asks your help if you would have His. The holy instant is His most |
Tx:16.69 | The Holy Spirit | asks only this little help of you. Whenever your thoughts wander to a |
Tx:17.49 | Can you deny that He has given you a most explicit statement? Now He | asks for faith a little longer, even in bewilderment. For this will |
Tx:17.75 | This simple courtesy is all the Holy Spirit | asks of you. Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon it, do not |
Tx:17.75 | and bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth | asks nothing. Let it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you |
Tx:18.32 | not ask, or you will add the ego unto Him and confuse the two. He | asks but little. It is He who adds the greatness and the might. He |
Tx:18.38 | is release. Do not assume His function for Him. Give Him but what He | asks, that you may learn how little is your part and how great is His. |
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:19.41 | it now? You are not asked to let it go for yourselves alone. Christ | asks it of you for Himself. He would bring peace to everyone, and how |
Tx:19.62 | bring you fear of pain. Pain is the only “sacrifice” the Holy Spirit | asks, and this He would remove. |
Tx:20.58 | requires almost nothing of you. It is impossible to imagine one that | asks so little or could offer more. |
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 are second to the |
Tx:21.37 | Those who believe in sin must think the Holy Spirit | asks for sacrifice, for this is how they think their purpose is |
Tx:21.43 | within and saw no sin? This “fearful” question is one the ego never | asks. And you who ask it now are threatening the ego's whole |
Tx:21.82 | In content, all the questions are the same. For each one | asks if you are willing to exchange the world of sin for what the |
Tx:21.88 | some promise of the power of giving it. He may be wrong in what he | asks, where, and of what. Yet he will ask because desire is a |

Tx:24.15 | reach you, when it is your specialness to which you listen and which | asks and answers? Its tiny answer, soundless in the melody which |
Tx:24.30 | God | asks for your forgiveness. He would have no separation, like an alien |
Tx:24.33 | of nails upon his hands that he holds out for your forgiveness. God | asks your mercy on His Son and on Himself. Deny them not. They ask of |
Tx:24.37 | has ever been in them that you would keep the gift your Father | asks from Him and give it there instead? Given to Him, the universe |
Tx:25.40 | The Son of God | asks only this of you—that you return to him what is his due that |
Tx:25.74 | For just one witness is enough if he sees truly. Simple justice | asks no more. Of each one does the Holy Spirit ask if he will be that |
Tx:25.80 | be one in which no one loses. And this must be true because He | asks no sacrifice of anyone. An answer which demands the slightest |
Tx:26.48 | Guilt | asks for punishment, and its request is granted—not in truth but in |
Tx:26.56 | Salvation, perfect and complete, | asks but a little wish that what is true be true; a little |
Tx:26.74 | is a sacrifice of now, which could not be the cost the Holy Spirit | asks for what He gave without a cost at all. |
Tx:27.38 | be answered, because it is an answer in itself. A double question | asks and answers, both attesting the same thing in different form. |
Tx:27.39 | The world | asks but one question. It is this: “Of these illusions, which of them |
Tx:27.39 | made?” Whatever form the question takes, its purpose is the same. It | asks but to establish sin is real and answers in the form of |
Tx:27.40 | A pseudo-question has no answer. It dictates the answer even as it | asks. Thus is all questioning within the world a form of propaganda |
Tx:27.41 | An honest question is a learning tool which | asks for something that you do not know. It does not set conditions |
Tx:27.41 | you do not know. It does not set conditions for response, but merely | asks what the response should be. But no one in a conflict state is |
Tx:27.42 | An honest answer | asks no sacrifice because it answers questions truly asked. The |
Tx:27.47 | well its question. It is asked of you on your behalf. A dying world | asks only that you rest an instant from attack upon yourself, that it |
Tx:28.60 | God | asks for nothing, and His Son, like Him, need ask for nothing. For |
Tx:29.7 | It is not love that | asks a sacrifice. But fear demands the sacrifice of love, for in |
Tx:29.13 | And yet His gifts came with Him. He has laid them at your feet and | asks you now that you will look on them and take them for your own. |
Tx:29.17 | demand that it be more than this lies the idea of sickness. For it | asks that God be less than all He really is. What, then, becomes of |
Tx:29.30 | you assigned to him in what you dream your life was meant to be. He | asks for help in every dream he has, and you have help to give him if |
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 |
W1:131.15 | But before you try to open it, remind yourself no one can fail who | asks to reach the truth, and it is this request you make today. |
W1:131.19 | that I want. My single purpose offers it to me. No one can fail who | asks to reach the truth. |
W1:135.26 | why you ever thought that you must be defended from release. Heaven | asks nothing. It is hell that makes extravagant demands for |
W1:136.10 | Thus is the body stronger than the truth, which | asks you live but cannot overcome your choice to die. And so the body |
W1:137.10 | His life becomes your own as you extend the little help He | asks in freeing you from everything that ever caused you pain. And as |
W1:139.4 | Yet he could never be alive at all unless he knew the answer. If he | asks as if he did not know, it merely shows he does not want to be |
W1:139.5 | can really doubt yourself. It cannot really be a part of you that | asks this question, for it asks of one who knows the answer. Were it |

W1:146.1 | [131] No one can fail who | asks to reach the truth. |
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 |
W1:155.14 | And now He | asks but that you think of Him a while each day that He may speak to |
W1:158.5 | is not lost because He has a vision He can give to anyone who | asks. The Father's Will and His are joined in knowledge. Yet there is |
W1:159.7 | home where his salvation waits. No one is stranger to him. No one | asks for anything of him except the gift of his acceptance of his |
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. |
W1:168.7 | I claim it now. Father, I come to You. And You will come to me who | asks. I am the Son You love. |
W1:182.9 | strength to them that they may see He would be Friend to them. He | asks but they protect Him, for His home is far away, and He will not |
W1:182.11 | for protection and for love. He rules the universe, and yet He | asks unceasingly that you return with Him and take illusions as your |
W1:185.6 | a way that he cannot mistake it if his asking is sincere. And if he | asks without sincerity, there is no form in which the lesson will |
W1:185.11 | who truly seeks the peace of God can fail to find it. For he merely | asks that he deceive himself no longer by denying to himself what is |
W1:185.11 | to himself what is God's Will. Who can remain unsatisfied who | asks for what he has already? Who could be unanswered who requests an |
W1:186.12 | Do as His Voice directs. And if it | asks a thing of you that seems impossible, remember Who it is that |
W1:186.12 | asks a thing of you that seems impossible, remember Who it is that | asks and who would make denial. Then consider this—which is more |
W1:191.8 | be in pain; I cannot lose, nor can I fail to do all that salvation | asks. |
W1:192.10 | Be merciful today. The Son of God deserves your mercy. It is he who | asks that you accept the way to freedom now. Deny him not. His |

Tx:22.17 | All that is possible in the dark world of misery is to select some | aspects out of it, see them as different, and define the difference |
Tx:23.23 | And their relationship is one of opposition, just as the separate | aspects of the Son meet only to conflict but not to join. One becomes |
Tx:24.72 | It is this that joins them to their like and separates each from all | aspects with a different purpose. The Son of God retains His Father's |
Tx:25.4 | unto Himself; nor are any differences perceived to stand between the | aspects of His holiness, which meet and join and raise Him to His |

Tx:30.83 | which these labels change with other judgments made on different | aspects of experience. And then in looking back you think you see |
W1:31.1 | with changes as indicated. Generally speaking, the form includes two | aspects, one in which you apply the idea on a more sustained basis, |
W1:33.1 | can shift your perception of the world in both its outer and inner | aspects. A full five minutes should be devoted to the morning and |

M:24.4 | time, draining it away from its appointed purpose. If there are | aspects to any concept or belief that will be helpful, he will be |

Tx:1.106 | are closely related, while fantasy and projection are more closely | associated, because both attempt to control external reality |
Tx:2.42 | The Atonement is a total commitment. You still think this is | associated with loss. This is the same mistake all the separated ones |
Tx:3.11 | must be perfectly clear before any residual fear which may still be | associated with miracles becomes entirely groundless. The crucifixion |
Tx:4.35 | Myths and magic are closely | associated in that myths are usually related to the ego origins and |
Tx:4.35 | its interpretation of its own beginning. This beginning is always | associated with physical birth, because no one maintains that the ego |
Tx:5.1 | The light that belongs to you is the light of joy. Radiance is not | associated with sorrow. Depression is often contagious but, although |

Tx:8.116 | your return is in proportion to your judgment of worth. If paying is | associated with giving, it cannot be perceived as loss, and the |
Tx:9.44 | what a real question is. Lack of knowledge of any kind is always | associated with unwillingness to know and produces a total lack of |
Tx:11.10 | for love. We have learned surely that fear and attack are inevitably | associated. If only attack produces fear and if you see attack as the |
Tx:11.97 | been, and so the future is needless. The future, in time, is always | associated with expiation, and only guilt could induce a sense of |

W1:47.6 | It is obvious that any situation that causes you concern is | associated with feelings of inadequacy, since otherwise you would |

W1:72.3 | things which you are apt to hold grievances for. Are they not always | associated with something a body does? A person says something we do |

W1:103.2 | introducing opposition in what has no limit and no opposite. Fear is | associated then with love, and its results become the heritage of |

Tx:5.6 | that the world is one of ideas, the whole belief in the false | association which the ego makes between giving and losing is gone. |
Tx:6.1 | The relationship of anger to attack is obvious, but the inevitable | association of anger and fear is not always so clear. Anger always |

Tx:1.29 | reason you come before me is that I do not need miracles for my own | Atonement, but I stand at the end in case you fail temporarily. The |
Tx:1.29 | the end in case you fail temporarily. The purpose of my part in the | Atonement is the canceling out of all lacks of love which men could |
Tx:1.30 | means “undoing.” The undoing of fear is an essential part of the | Atonement value of miracles. |
Tx:1.31 | The purpose of the | Atonement is to restore everything to you, or rather to restore it to |
Tx:1.31 | recognition of your original state, you naturally become part of the | Atonement yourself. As you share my inability to tolerate lack of |
Tx:1.32 | ability is the potential; the achievement is its expression; and the | Atonement is the purpose. |
Tx:1.34 | and were promised that I would never leave them or forsake them. | Atonement is the natural profession of the Children of God, because |
Tx:1.45 | The Soul never loses its communion with God. Only the mind needs | Atonement. The miracle joins in the Atonement of Christ by placing |
Tx:1.45 | with God. Only the mind needs Atonement. The miracle joins in the | Atonement of Christ by placing the mind in the service of the spirit. |

Tx:1.48 | The forgiven are the means of | Atonement. Those released by Christ must join in releasing their |
Tx:1.48 | must join in releasing their brothers, for this is the plan of the | Atonement. Miracles are the way in which minds which serve the spirit |

Tx:1.88 | contributions to the Sonship will no longer be necessary. When the | Atonement has been completed, all talents will be shared by all the |

Tx:1.106 | you that you are now restored to your former role in the plan of | Atonement, but you must still choose freely to devote yourselves to |

Tx:2.36 | by man. The Atonement principle was in effect long before the | Atonement itself began. The principle was love, and the Atonement |
Tx:2.36 | before the Atonement itself began. The principle was love, and the | Atonement itself was an act of love. Acts were not necessary before |
Tx:2.36 | did not exist. It was only after the separation that the defense of | Atonement and the necessary conditions for its fulfillment were |
Tx:2.37 | which is the inherent characteristic of all other defenses. The | Atonement thus becomes the only defense which is not a two-edged |
Tx:2.38 | The | Atonement actually began long before the crucifixion. Many Souls |

Tx:2.41 | The | Atonement is the device by which he can free himself from the past as |

Tx:2.44 | The | Atonement can only be accepted within you. You have perceived it |
Tx:2.44 | have been used almost entirely to defend himself against the | Atonement and thus maintain the separation. They themselves generally |
Tx:2.45 | but not all of it. It does recognize, however, that the concept of | Atonement in physical terms is not appropriate. However, the next |
Tx:2.45 | have put on beautiful church buildings is a sign of their fear of | Atonement and their unwillingness to reach the altar itself. The real |
Tx:2.46 | For perfect effectiveness, the | Atonement belongs at the center of the inner altar, where it undoes |
Tx:2.46 | of the building but the opening of the altar to receive the | Atonement. This heals the separation and places within man the one |
Tx:2.47 | The acceptance of the | Atonement by everyone is only a matter of time. In fact, both time |

Tx:2.51 | The | Atonement is the only gift that is worthy of being offered to the |
Tx:2.51 | to perceive the world as a means of healing the separation. The | Atonement is the guarantee that they will ultimately succeed. |
Tx:2.52 | The emphasis will now be on healing. The miracle is the means, the | Atonement is the principle, and healing is the result. Those who |
Tx:2.52 | two orders of reality inappropriately. Healing is not a miracle. The | Atonement or the final miracle is a remedy, while any type of healing |

Tx:2.53 | A major step in the | Atonement plan is to undo error at all levels. Illness, which is |
Tx:2.56 | The body, if properly understood, shares the invulnerability of the | Atonement to two-edged application. This is not because the body is a |
Tx:2.57 | great hold over a mind to render a person inaccessible to | Atonement. In this case it may be wise to utilize a compromise |

Tx:2.65 | is the only creative level and that its errors are healed by the | Atonement. Once he accepts this, his mind can only heal. By denying |
Tx:2.67 | see error and is capable only of looking beyond it to the defense of | Atonement. There is no doubt that the Spiritual eye does produce |
Tx:2.67 | the defilement of the altar, it also looks immediately toward the | Atonement. |
Tx:2.70 | in time. Since his own thinking is faulty, he cannot see the | Atonement for himself or he would have no need for charity. The |
Tx:2.82 | a series of pragmatic steps in the larger process of accepting the | Atonement as the remedy. These steps can be summarized as follows: |
Tx:2.86 | 4. Perfect love is the | Atonement. |
Tx:2.87 | We have emphasized that the miracle, or the expression of | Atonement, is always a sign of real respect from the worthy to the |
Tx:2.87 | from the worthy to the worthy. This worth is re-established by the | Atonement. It is obvious, then, that when you are afraid you have |
Tx:2.87 | you are afraid you have placed yourself in a position where you need | Atonement, because you have done something loveless, having willed |
Tx:2.87 | willed without love. This is precisely the situation for which the | Atonement was offered. The need for the remedy inspired its creation. |
Tx:2.99 | is mandatory. This establishes a state of mind in which the | Atonement can be accepted without delay. |
Tx:2.103 | in the existence of nothingness. The correction of this error is the | Atonement. We have already briefly spoken about readiness, but there |
Tx:2.111 | is no reason for fear to remain with him. This is his part in the | Atonement. |
Tx:3.2 | of your Creator. I have been careful to clarify my own role in the | Atonement, without either over- or understating it. I have also tried |
Tx:3.11 | becomes entirely groundless. The crucifixion did not establish the | Atonement. The resurrection did. This is a point which many very |
Tx:3.14 | was not punished because you were bad. The wholly benign lesson the | Atonement teaches is lost if it is tainted with this kind of |
Tx:3.17 | God Himself is not symbolic; He is fact. The | Atonement too is totally without symbolism. It is perfectly clear |
Tx:3.17 | to the unwilling and ambiguous to the partly willing. The | Atonement itself radiates nothing but truth. It therefore epitomizes |
Tx:3.18 | any form of evil because light abolishes all forms of darkness. The | Atonement is thus the perfect lesson. It is the final demonstration |
Tx:3.20 | of defending themselves against it. Understanding the lesson of the | Atonement, they are without the will to attack, and therefore they |
Tx:3.24 | the state of innocence, or grace, is one in which the meaning of the | Atonement is perfectly apparent. The innocence of God is the true |
Tx:3.24 | does see God [and because] he sees Him as he is[, he knows] that the | Atonement, not sacrifice, is the only appropriate gift to His own |
Tx:3.49 | your choice is certain. Sane perception induces sane choosing. The | Atonement was an act based on true perception. I cannot choose for |
Tx:3.60 | rests on lack, those who perceive have not totally accepted the | Atonement and given themselves over to truth. Perception is a |
Tx:4.41 | what else but you is His Kingdom? This is the whole message of the | Atonement, a message which in its totality transcends the sum of its |
Tx:4.61 | God, but you have not. Leave the sins of the ego to me. That is what | Atonement is for. But until you change your mind about those your ego |
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:4.89 | wrongly. The Holy One shares my trust and always approves my | Atonement decisions because my will is never out of accord with His. |
Tx:4.89 | with His. I have told you before that I am in charge of the whole | Atonement. This is only because I completed my part in it as a man |
Tx:5.11 | with the separation as a protection, inspiring the beginning of the | Atonement at the same time. Before that, there was no need for |
Tx:5.12 | could reach almost back to Him. The Holy Spirit is the Mind of the | Atonement. It represents a state of mind that comes close enough to |
Tx:5.18 | Spirit was God's Answer to the separation, the means by which the | Atonement could repair until the whole mind returned to creating. |
Tx:5.19 | The | Atonement and the separation began at the same time. When man made |
Tx:5.20 | as they are as Souls. The Voice of the Holy Spirit is the call to | Atonement or the restoration of the integrity of the mind. When the |
Tx:5.20 | Atonement or the restoration of the integrity of the mind. When the | Atonement is complete and the whole Sonship is healed, there will be |
Tx:5.46 | Joining the | Atonement, which I have repeatedly asked you to do, is always a way |
Tx:5.47 | The | Atonement is the guarantee of the safety of the Kingdom. Nothing good |
Tx:5.48 | and for asking pardon without change. The ego never calls for real | Atonement and cannot tolerate forgiveness, which is change. |
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:5.57 | The | Atonement gives you the power of a healed mind, but the power to |
Tx:5.59 | there is no guilt, because the Kingdom is attained through the | Atonement, which releases you to create. The word “create” is |
Tx:5.68 | If the sole responsibility of the miracle worker is to accept the | Atonement for himself, and I assure you that it is, then the |
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:5.95 | to the point at which the error was made and give it over to the | Atonement in peace. Say to yourselves the following as sincerely as |
Tx:6.3 | You have been chosen to teach the | Atonement precisely because you have been extreme examples of |
Tx:6.20 | the several slips into impatience which I made. I had learned the | Atonement prayer, which I also came to teach, too well to engage in |
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:6.34 | only perceive it as it is to be returned. The full awareness of the | Atonement, then, is the recognition that the separation never |
Tx:7.90 | the unbelievable cannot make this judgment alone. By accepting the | Atonement for yourself, you are deciding against the belief that you |
Tx:8.5 | it means that you did not get what you want. The curriculum of the | Atonement is the opposite of the curriculum you have established for |
Tx:8.22 | because once you have really done this, you will accept the | Atonement for yourself. What other choice could you make? Having made |
Tx:9.7 | in you and in your brother. His errors are forgiven with yours. | Atonement is no more separate than love. Atonement cannot be |
Tx:9.7 | are forgiven with yours. Atonement is no more separate than love. | Atonement cannot be separate, because it comes from love. Any attempt |
Tx:9.9 | Atonement is for all, because it is the way to undo the belief that | |
Tx:9.10 | You have a part to play in the | Atonement, but the plan of the Atonement is beyond you. You do not |
Tx:9.10 | You have a part to play in the Atonement, but the plan of the | Atonement is beyond you. You do not know how to overlook errors, or |
Tx:9.11 | The | Atonement is a lesson in sharing, which is given you because you have |
Tx:9.39 | you so decide. Yet you cannot abide in peace unless you accept the | Atonement, because the Atonement is the way to peace. The reason is |
Tx:9.39 | cannot abide in peace unless you accept the Atonement, because the | Atonement is the way to peace. The reason is very simple and so |
Tx:11.35 | have defiled the altar but not the world. Yet Christ has placed the | Atonement on the altar for you. Bring your perceptions of the world |
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:13.27 | and wholly without reason, you will not fear to look upon the | Atonement and accept it wholly. |
Tx:13.49 | is complete forgiveness, you must have let guilt go, accepting the | Atonement for yourself and learning you are guiltless. How could you |
Tx:13.67 | I have nothing to fear. I choose to testify to my acceptance of the | Atonement, not for its rejection. I would accept my guiltlessness by |
Tx:13.71 | and by refusing to allow him to think he can, you teach him that the | Atonement, which you have accepted for yourself, is also his. There |
Tx:13.73 | larger than anything you ever dreamed of. Those who accept the | Atonement are invulnerable. But those who believe they are guilty |
Tx:13.76 | every mind that quietly accepts the plan which God has set for his | Atonement, relinquishing his own. You know not of salvation, for you |
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:14.15 | Each one you see you place within the holy circle of | Atonement or leave outside, judging him fit for crucifixion or for |
Tx:14.15 | is not of you. Refuse to accept anyone as without the blessing of | Atonement, and bring him into it by blessing him. Holiness must be |
Tx:14.38 | The | Atonement does not make holy. You were created holy. It merely brings |
Tx:14.40 | it is does truth release you from everything that it is not. The | Atonement is so gentle you need but whisper to it, and all its power |
Tx:14.40 | not frail with God beside you. Yet without Him you are nothing. The | Atonement offers you God. The gift which you refused is held by Him |
Tx:14.60 | Atonement teaches you how to escape forever from everything that you | |
Tx:15.16 | The | Atonement is in time but not for time. Being in you, it is eternal. |
Tx:15.43 | It is given you the instant you would have it. Yet it would not be | Atonement if there were no need for Atonement. You will not be able |
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:15.85 | translated into knowledge by the part which God Himself plays in the | Atonement, for it is the only step in it He understands. Therefore, |
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:18.66 | to the goal you have accepted. It is extremely difficult to reach | Atonement by fighting against sin. [Enormous effort is expended in |
Tx:19.10 | To have faith is to heal. It is the sign that you have accepted the | Atonement for yourself and would therefore share it. By faith you |
Tx:19.56 | so I had to die instead of you. To the ego sin means death, and so | Atonement is achieved through murder. Salvation is looked upon as a |
Tx:19.61 | this is the belief in death? Here is the focus of the perception of | Atonement as murder. Here is the source of the idea that love is |
Tx:19.98 | can look upon the fear of God unterrified unless he has accepted the | Atonement and learned illusions are not real. No one can stand before |
Tx:19.102 | Beside each of you is one who offers you the chalice of | Atonement, for the Holy Spirit is in him. Would you hold his sins |
Tx:22.54 | does healing lie. For here your healing is and here will you accept | Atonement. And in your healing is the Sonship healed because your |
Tx:22.55 | confusion, observing merely, “This was a mistake.” And then the same | Atonement you accepted in your relationship corrects the error and |
Tx:23.26 | There can be no release and no escape. | Atonement thus becomes a myth, and vengeance, not forgiveness, is the |
Tx:28.37 | Accepting the | Atonement for yourself means not to give support to someone's dream |
W1:101.5 | must come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause. Accept | Atonement with an open mind which cherishes no lingering belief that |
W1:139.5 | It is for this denial that you need | Atonement. Your denial made no change in what you are. But you have |
W1:139.6 | Atonement remedies the strange idea that it is possible to doubt | |
W1:139.7 | And they will come again until the time | Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is impossible to doubt |
W1:139.9 | they may know that they are part of you and you of them. This does | Atonement teach and demonstrates the oneness of God's Son is |
W1:139.9 | is unassailed by his belief he knows not what he is. Today accept | Atonement, not to change reality, but merely to accept the truth |
W1:139.11 | I will accept | Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me. |
W1:139.14 | I will accept | Atonement for myself, for I remain as God created me. |
W1:140.4 | Atonement heals with certainty and cures all sickness. For the mind | |
W1:140.4 | guilt is absent cannot come, for it is but another form of guilt. | Atonement does not heal the sick, for that is not a cure. It takes |
W1:150.1 | [139] I will accept | Atonement for myself. |

W2:WIC.5 | symbol that the time for learning now is over and the goal of the | Atonement has been reached at last? So therefore let us seek to find |
W2:297.1 | a world that needs salvation and that will be saved as I accept | Atonement for myself. |
W2:318.2 | my Father, take the role You offer me in Your request that I accept | Atonement for myself. For thus does what is thereby reconciled in me |
W2:337.1 | is given me. What must I do to know all this is mine? I must accept | Atonement for myself and nothing more. God has already done all |
W2:337.2 | what I am. I was mistaken when I thought I sinned, but I accept | Atonement for myself. Father, my dream is ended now. Amen. |

M:3.3 | level of the teaching-learning situation is part of God's plan for | Atonement, and His plan can have no levels, being a reflection of His |

M:14.3 | thought of sin will remain the instant any one of them accepts the | Atonement for himself. It is not easier to forgive one sin than to |

M:22.1 | Healing and | Atonement are not related; they are identical. There is no order of |
M:22.1 | no order of difficulty in miracles, because there are no degrees of | Atonement. It is the one complete concept possible in this world, |
M:22.1 | because it is the source of a wholly unified perception. Partial | Atonement is a meaningless idea, just as special areas of hell in |
M:22.1 | just as special areas of hell in Heaven is inconceivable. Accept | Atonement, and you are healed. Atonement is the Word of God. Accept |
M:22.1 | in Heaven is inconceivable. Accept Atonement, and you are healed. | Atonement is the Word of God. Accept His Word, and what remains to |
M:22.1 | To forgive is to heal. The teacher of God has taken accepting the | Atonement for himself as his only function. What is there, then, he |

M:23.2 | We have repeatedly stated that one who has perfectly accepted the | Atonement for himself can heal the world. Indeed, he has already done |
M:24.6 | that you can accept it. This is still your one responsibility. | Atonement might be equated with total escape from the past and total |
M:28.1 | interpretation of the world's purpose; the acceptance of the | Atonement for oneself. It is the end of dreams of misery and the glad |
M:29.3 | is to let yourself be absolved of guilt. It is the essence of the | Atonement. It is the core of the curriculum. The imagined usurping of |

Tx:5.15 | Second, it is incapable of | attack and is therefore truly open. This means that, although it does |
Tx:5.24 | it does not seek control. It does not overcome, because it does not | attack. It merely reminds. It is compelling only because of what it |
Tx:5.60 | guilt. Guilt is more than merely not of God. It is the symbol of the | attack on God. This is a totally meaningless concept except to the |
Tx:5.62 | to the ego's voice means that you believe it is possible to | attack God. You believe that a part of Him has been torn away by you. |
Tx:5.87 | involve it in a strong defense system because he perceived it as an | attack. |
Tx:5.94 | Perceiving this as “sin,” you become defensive because you expect | attack. The decision to react in this way, however, is yours and can |
Tx:6.1 | The relationship of anger to | attack is obvious, but the inevitable association of anger and fear |
Tx:6.1 | occur unless you believe that you have been attacked, that [the | attack was unjust, and] you are in no way responsible. Given these |
Tx:6.1 | the equally irrational conclusion that a brother is worthy of | attack rather than of love follows. What can be expected from insane |
Tx:6.2 | sanity of the premises on which it rests. You cannot be attacked; | attack has no justification; and you are responsible for what you |
Tx:6.8 | not strengthen it. I therefore offered a different interpretation of | attack and one which I do want to share with you. If you will believe |
Tx:6.26 | Since you have also judged against what you project, you continue to | attack it because you have already attacked it by projecting it. By |
Tx:6.27 | thus obscuring your equality with them still further. Projection and | attack are inevitably related, because projection is always a means |
Tx:6.27 | related, because projection is always a means of justifying | attack. Anger without projection is impossible. |
Tx:6.43 | Safety is the complete relinquishment of | attack. No compromise is possible in this. Teach attack in any form, |
Tx:6.43 | relinquishment of attack. No compromise is possible in this. Teach | attack in any form, and you have learned it, and it will hurt you. |
Tx:6.46 | When God created you, He made you part of Him. That is why | attack within the Kingdom is impossible. You made the ego without |
Tx:6.48 | for attacking its maker. It believes that the best defense is | attack and wants you to believe it. Unless you do believe it you will |
Tx:6.49 | both merely by knowing they are not part of him, they join in the | attack together. This is perhaps the strangest perception of all if |
Tx:6.56 | yours. God did not blot it out, because to eradicate it would be to | attack it. Being questioned, He did not question. He merely gave the |
Tx:6.65 | [You do not lose what you communicate.] The ego uses the body for | attack, for pleasure, and for pride. The insanity of this perception |
Tx:6.65 | not so real as it sounds. Those who communicate fear are promoting | attack, and attack always breaks communication, making it impossible. |
Tx:6.65 | as it sounds. Those who communicate fear are promoting attack, and | attack always breaks communication, making it impossible. |
Tx:6.70 | fear of retaliation and abandonment. This is because they believe in | attack and rejection, so this is what they perceive and teach and |
Tx:6.71 | weakening it. Those who believe in it therefore perceive this as an | attack on them. This is because everyone identifies himself with his |
Tx:7.54 | in part of it that you will not attribute to all of it. That is why | attack is never discrete and why attack must be relinquished |
Tx:7.54 | attribute to all of it. That is why attack is never discrete and why | attack must be relinquished entirely. If it is not relinquished |
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:7.88 | ego's existence yourself, you will have laid aside all anger and all | attack, because they come from an attempt to project responsibility |
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 | have made grandiosity and are afraid of it because it is a form of | attack, but your grandeur is of God, Who created it out of His Love. |
Tx:9.52 | Mind of God. When you forget this, you will despair, and you will | attack. |
Tx:9.58 | did not establish your value, and it needs no defense. Nothing can | attack it or prevail over it. It does not vary. It merely is. Ask the |
Tx:9.64 | would decide against them as long as your minds are split, and to | attack what you have created is impossible. But remember that it is |
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:9.72 | Arising from your own decision not to be what you are, it is an | attack on your identification. Attack is thus the way in which your |
Tx:9.72 | not to be what you are, it is an attack on your identification. | Attack is thus the way in which your identification is lost because, |
Tx:9.72 | thus the way in which your identification is lost because, when you | attack, you must have forgotten what you are. And if your reality is |
Tx:9.72 | have forgotten what you are. And if your reality is God's, when you | attack you are not remembering Him. This is not because He is gone, |
Tx:9.76 | that part of God can suffer. Love cannot suffer, because it cannot | attack. The remembrance of love therefore brings invulnerability with |
Tx:9.78 | for this is what it offers you. To obtain this you are willing to | attack the divinity of your brothers and thus lose sight of yours. |
Tx:9.85 | of him, because he cannot be reconciled with God's Will. If you | attack him, you will make him real to you. But if you refuse to |
Tx:9.102 | know His Son if he were not free. To interfere with you would be to | attack Himself, and God is not insane. When you denied Him, you were |
Tx:10.16 | is the first step toward recognizing what you truly want. Every | attack is a step away from this, and every healing thought brings it |
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:10.55 | attempt to demonstrate it, and this it does constantly. Analyzing to | attack meaning, the ego does succeed in overlooking it and is left |
Tx:10.59 | resurrection is the complete triumph of Christ over the ego, not by | attack but by transcendence. For Christ does rise above the ego and |
Tx:11.1 | is hazardous to you. If you decide that someone is really trying to | attack you or desert you or enslave you, you will respond as if he |
Tx:11.3 | for. Offer him anything else, and you are assuming the right to | attack his reality by interpreting it as you see fit. |
Tx:11.4 | for help as exactly what they are except your own perceived need to | attack. It is only this that makes you willing to engage in endless |
Tx:11.10 | it. That is the ultimate value to you in learning to perceive | attack as a call for love. We have learned surely that fear and |
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:11.10 | surely that fear and attack are inevitably associated. If only | attack produces fear and if you see attack as the call for help that |
Tx:11.10 | inevitably associated. If only attack produces fear and if you see | attack as the call for help that it is, the unreality of fear must |
Tx:11.26 | you are believing that the ego is to be saved and to be saved by | attack. If he attacks, you are agreeing with this belief, and if you |
Tx:11.26 | attack. If he attacks, you are agreeing with this belief, and if you | attack, you are reinforcing it. Remember that those who attack are |
Tx:11.26 | and if you attack, you are reinforcing it. Remember that those who | attack are poor. Their poverty asks for gifts, not for further |
Tx:11.29 | To identify with the ego is to | attack yourself and make yourself poor. That is why everyone who |
Tx:11.34 | mind is the mechanism of decision. If you will recognize that all | attack which you perceive is in your own mind and nowhere else, you |
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:11.85 | If you did not feel guilty, you could not | attack, for condemnation is the root of attack. It is the judgment of |
Tx:11.85 | feel guilty, you could not attack, for condemnation is the root of | attack. It is the judgment of one mind by another as unworthy of love |
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:12.35 | And thus it is that you must attack yourself first, for what you | attack is not in others. Its only reality is in your own mind, and by |
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:14.9 | Yet those who have failed to learn need teaching, not attack. To | attack those who have need of teaching is to fail to learn from them. |
Tx:14.17 | in which nothing is hidden and therefore nothing is fearful. | Attack will always yield to love if it is brought to love, not hidden |
Tx:14.18 | are neither safe nor unsafe. They do not protect; neither do they | attack. They do nothing at all, being nothing at all. As guardians of |
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:14.53 | if the form is acceptable, the content must be. Otherwise, it will | attack the form. You who believe you understand something of the |
Tx:14.74 | If you want peace, you must abandon the teacher of | attack. The Teacher of peace will never abandon you. You can desert |
Tx:15.13 | and cannot be yours alone. Remember, then, when you are tempted to | attack a brother, that his instant of release is yours. Miracles are |
Tx:15.15 | state is beyond time, for his purity remains forever beyond | attack and without variability. Time stands still in his holiness and |
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:17.36 | Spirit are marshaled to defend you from your own attack. For you | attack Them, being part of Them, and They must save you, for They |
Tx:17.54 | instant and thus enable its results to be accepted and shared. To | attack each other is not to lose the instant but to make it powerless |
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:19.87 | What danger can assail the wholly innocent? What can | attack the guiltless? What fear can enter and disturb the peace of |
Tx:19.101 | know him, and your interpretation of him is very fearful. And you | attack him still, to keep what seems to be yourself unharmed. Yet in |
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:20.73 | realized that those who seem to walk about in it, to sin and die, | attack and murder and destroy themselves, are wholly unreal? Could |
Tx:21.21 | and which you worship. And anything which threatens this seems to | attack your faith, for here is it invested. Think not that you are |
Tx:21.62 | Madness is an | attack on reason that drives it out of mind and takes its place. |
Tx:21.62 | that drives it out of mind and takes its place. Reason does not | attack but takes the place of madness quietly, replacing madness if |
Tx:21.70 | with him. And you are for him or against him; either you love him or | attack him, protect his unity or see him shattered and slain by your |
Tx:21.70 | attack him, protect his unity or see him shattered and slain by your | attack. |
Tx:21.71 | whom they hate. They are indeed a sorry army, each one as likely to | attack his brother or turn upon himself as to remember they thought |
Tx:21.72 | easily. This is no army, but a madhouse. What seems to be a planned | attack is bedlam. |
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:21.77 | you would have healed must be the one you chose to be protected from | attack. And what is this decision but the choice whether to see him |
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 |
W1:22.1 | until he is willing to change how he sees. Otherwise, thoughts of | attack and counter-attack will preoccupy him and people his entire |
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 |
W1:23.3 | of “external reality” is a pictorial representation of your own | attack thoughts. One can well ask if this can be called seeing. Is |
W1:23.6 | eyes and devote about a minute to searching your mind for as many | attack thoughts as occur to you. As each one crosses your mind say: |
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 | Because your attack thoughts will be projected, you will fear | attack. And if you fear attack, you must believe that you are not |
W1:26.2 | thoughts will be projected, you will fear attack. And if you fear | attack, you must believe that you are not invulnerable. Attack |
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 |
W1:26.3 | The idea for today introduces the thought that you always | attack yourself. If attack thoughts must entail the belief that you |
W1:26.3 | for today introduces the thought that you always attack yourself. If | attack thoughts must entail the belief that you are vulnerable, their |
W1:26.4 | is the result of your own thoughts. Nothing except your thoughts can | attack you. Nothing except your thoughts can make you think you are |
W1:26.14 | That thought is an | attack upon myself. |
W1:39.6 | form they appear—uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, worry, | attack, insecurity, and so on. Whatever form they take, they are |
W1:46.11 | No fear is possible in a mind beloved of God. There is no need to | attack, because Love has forgiven me. |
W1:55.3 | is hardly the representation of loving thoughts. It is a picture of | attack on everything by everything. It is anything but a reflection |
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 |
W1:55.4 | and nowhere else. Without attack thoughts I could not see a world of | attack. As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I will |
W1:56.2 | [26] My | attack thoughts are attacking my invulnerability. How can I know who |
W1:56.2 | How can I know who I am when I see myself as under constant | attack? Pain, illness, loss, age, and death seem to threaten me. All |
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 |
W1:62.3 | Remember that in every | attack you call upon your own weakness, while every time you forgive |
W1:72.1 | opposite of God's, we have not yet emphasized that it is an active | attack on His plan and a deliberate attempt to destroy it. In the |
W1:72.1 | attack on His plan and a deliberate attempt to destroy it. In the | attack, God is assigned the attributes which are actually associated |
W1:72.3 | here, it is perhaps not so apparent why holding grievances is an | attack on God's plan for salvation. But let us consider the kinds of |
W1:72.6 | it. And it asserts that his salvation must be death, projecting this | attack onto God and holding Him responsible for it. |
W1:72.10 | as we are. To see our Self as separate from the body is to end the | attack on God's plan for salvation and to accept it instead. And |
W1:72.11 | been accomplished in us. To achieve this goal, we must replace | attack with acceptance. As long as we attack it, we cannot understand |
W1:72.11 | this goal, we must replace attack with acceptance. As long as we | attack it, we cannot understand what God's plan for us is. We are |
W1:72.19 | Holding grievances is an | attack on God's plan for salvation. Let me accept it instead. What is |
W1:73.2 | are necessary to maintain it, peoples it with figures that seem to | attack you and call for “righteous” judgment. They become the |
W1:84.5 | no grievances. Grievances are completely alien to love. Grievances | attack love and keep its light obscure. If I hold grievances I am |
W1:84.5 | my Self. My Self thus becomes alien to me. I am determined not to | attack my Self today, so that I can remember who I am. |
W1:84.7 | This is no justification for denying my Self. I will not use this to | attack love. Let this not tempt me to attack myself. |
W1:84.7 | Self. I will not use this to attack love. Let this not tempt me to | attack myself. |
W1:86.5 | [72] Holding grievances is an | attack on God's plan for salvation. Holding grievances is an attempt |
W1:86.7 | not see the grounds for my salvation. This calls for salvation, not | attack. |
W1:87.5 | afraid only when I believe that there is another will. I try to | attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I |
W1:87.5 | will. I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to | attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. Today I |
W1:88.2 | [75] The light has come. In choosing salvation rather than | attack, I merely choose to recognize what is already here. Salvation |
W1:88.2 | what is already here. Salvation is a decision made already. | Attack and grievances are not there to choose. That is why I always |
W1:93.5 | It does not battle with the Son of God. It does not hurt him nor | attack his peace. It has not changed creation nor reduced eternal |
W1:99.4 | illusions bring and offer means by which they are undone without | attack and with no touch of pain? What but a thought of God could be |
W1:107.4 | Without illusions there could be no fear, no doubt, and no | attack. When truth has come, all pain is over, for there is no room |
W1:107.6 | gift of healing, for the truth needs no defense, and therefore no | attack is possible. Illusions can be brought to truth to be |
W1:121.4 | eyes and shrieks as it beholds its own projections rising to | attack its miserable parody of life. It wants to live, yet wishes it |
W1:122.2 | upon your eyelids so you see no dreams of fear and evil, malice, and | attack. And when you wake again, it offers you another day of |
W1:126.6 | understand forgiveness. As you see it, it is but a check upon overt | attack, without requiring correction in your mind. It cannot give you |
W1:134.11 | laid Its blessing on it, are all dreams of evil and of hatred and | attack brought silently to truth. They are not kept to swell and |
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 |
W1:136.7 | and as wholes within themselves, they become symbols standing for | attack upon the whole, successful in effect, and never to be seen as |
W1:136.21 | to be preserved by careful watching. If you let your mind harbor | attack thoughts, yield to judgment, or make plans against |
W1:136.21 | have again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity which will | attack the body, for the mind is sick. Give instant remedy should |
W1:136.22 | a defense against the truth, but I am not a body. And my mind cannot | attack. So I cannot be sick. |
W1:137.3 | But healing is accomplished as he sees the body has no power to | attack the universal oneness of God's Son. |
W1:137.16 | to make well all that was sick and offer blessing where there was | attack. Nor will we let this function be forgot as every hour of the |
W1:153.1 | this lesson well. The world provides no safety. It is rooted in | attack and all its “gifts” of seeming safety are illusory deceptions. |
W1:153.2 | rise but to defensiveness. For threat brings anger, anger makes | attack seem reasonable, honestly provoked, and righteous in the name |
W1:153.3 | in that one, until escape no longer can be hoped for nor obtained. | Attack, defense; defense, attack, become the circles of the hours and |
W1:153.3 | no longer can be hoped for nor obtained. Attack, defense; defense, | attack, become the circles of the hours and the days that bind the |
W1:153.5 | your defensiveness. For you behold the Son of God as but a victim to | attack by fantasies, by dreams, and by illusions he has made; yet |
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 |
W1:161.6 | “enemy” Christ's vision does not see. The body is the target for | attack, for no one thinks he hates a mind. Yet what but mind directs |
W1:161.6 | no one thinks he hates a mind. Yet what but mind directs the body to | attack? What else could be the seat of fear except what thinks of |
W1:161.8 | Who sees a brother as a body sees him as fear's symbol. And he will | attack because what he beholds is his own fear external to himself, |
W1:161.8 | what he beholds is his own fear external to himself, poised to | attack and howling to unite with him again. Mistake not the intensity |
W1:161.10 | Attack on him is enemy to you, for you will not perceive that in his | |
W1:161.16 | from fear. Be sure you use it instantly, should you be tempted to | attack a brother and perceive in him the symbol of your fear. And you |
W1:170.1 | intent to hurt. This can have no exception. When you think that you | attack in self defense, you mean that to be cruel is protection; you |
W1:170.1 | you believe to hurt another brings you freedom. And you mean that to | attack is to exchange the state in which you are for something |
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 |
W1:170.5 | it is obvious ideas must leave their source. For it is you who make | attack and must have first conceived of it. Yet you attack outside |
W1:170.5 | is you who make attack and must have first conceived of it. Yet you | attack outside yourself and separate your mind from him who is to be |
W1:181.1 | to transcend doubt and lack of sure conviction in yourself. When you | attack a brother, you proclaim that he is limited by what you have |
W1:185.14 | the call of every mind, the hope that lies beyond despair, the love | attack would hide, the brotherhood that hate has sought to sever, but |
W1:186.7 | relates to you. And as He speaks, the image trembles and seeks to | attack the threat it does not know, sensing its basis crumble. Let it |
W1:189.3 | is inconceivable to those who see a world of hatred, rising from | attack, poised to avenge, to murder and destroy. |
W1:190.2 | of fierce retaliation for a crime that could not be committed, for | attack on what is wholly unassailable. It is a nightmare of |
W1:190.9 | still at last. Lay down all thoughts of danger and of fear. Let no | attack enter with you. Lay down the cruel sword of judgment that you |
W1:192.1 | what can such a function mean within a world of envy, hatred, and | attack? Therefore you have a function in the world in its own terms. |
W1:192.5 | It cannot think that it will die nor be the prey of merciless | attack. Anger becomes impossible, and where is terror then? What |
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 |
W1:196.1 | to harm yourself nor make your body slave to vengeance. You will not | attack yourself, and you will realize that to attack another is but |
W1:196.1 | You will not attack yourself, and you will realize that to | attack another is but to attack yourself. You will be free of the |
W1:196.1 | yourself, and you will realize that to attack another is but to | attack yourself. You will be free of the insane belief that to attack |
W1:196.1 | to attack yourself. You will be free of the insane belief that to | attack a brother saves yourself. And you will understand his safety |
W1:196.6 | of madness you believe if you accept the fearful thought you can | attack another and be free yourself. Until this form is changed, |
W1:196.10 | itself as split. And this had been concealed while you believed | attack could be directed outward and returned from outside to within. |
W1:197.1 | You make attempts at kindness and forgiveness. Yet you turn them to | attack again unless you find external gratitude and lavish thanks. |
W1:197.5 | love, and adding to your never-ending joy, while you forgive but to | attack again. |
W1:198.7 | has many seeming separate haunts where mercy has no meaning and | attack appears as justified. Yet all are one—a place where death is |
W1:198.8 | to believe that They could die! How foolish to believe you can | attack! How mad to think that you could be condemned and that the |
W1:199.2 | and with strength and power to do whatever it is asked. | Attack thoughts cannot enter such a mind because it has been given to |
W1:216.1 | can be but myself I crucify. All that I do, I do unto myself. If I | attack, I suffer. But if I forgive, salvation will be given me. I am |
W2:WIW.2 | The world was made as an | attack on God. It symbolizes fear. And what is fear except love's |
W2:247.1 | Sin is the symbol of | attack. Behold it anywhere, and I will suffer. For forgiveness is the |
W2:249.1 | is over, loss becomes impossible, and anger makes no sense. | Attack is gone, and madness has an end. What suffering is now |
W2:250.1 | reduced to frailty nor perceive the lacks in him with which I would | attack his sovereignty. |
W2:259.1 | obscuring God's creation, giving love the attributes of fear and of | attack? |
W2:WIB.2 | to them. For if his oneness still remained untouched, who could | attack and who could be attacked? Who could be victor? Who could be |
W2:261.1 | not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in murderous | attack. I live in God. In Him I find my refuge and my strength. In |
W2:281.2 | Father placed me safe in Heaven, watching over me. And I would not | attack the Son He loves, for what He loves is mine to love as well. |

W2:WIRW.3 | What need has such a mind for thoughts of death, | attack, and murder? What can it perceive surrounding it but safety, |
W2:299.2 | It is not mine to be destroyed by sin. It is not mine to suffer from | attack. Illusions can obscure it but cannot put out its radiance nor |
W2:330.1 | us this day accept forgiveness as our only function. Why should we | attack our minds and give them images of pain? Why should we teach |
W2:WIE.3 | can he know of fear and punishment, of sin and guilt, of hatred and | attack when all there is surrounding him is everlasting peace, |
W2:332.1 | Truth undoes its evil dreams by shining them away. Truth never makes | attack. It merely is. And by its presence is the mind recalled from |
W2:341.2 | Let us not then | attack our sinlessness. For it contains the Word of God to us, and in |
W2:FL.5 | are restored to sanity in which we understand that anger is insane, | attack is mad, and vengeance merely foolish fantasy. We have been |
M:4.16 | must be safe. Joy goes with gentleness as surely as grief attends | attack. God's teachers trust in Him. And they are sure His Teacher |
M:7.4 | is a mistake in the form of lack of trust. As such, it is an | attack. Usually it seems to be just the opposite. It does appear |
M:7.4 | appear unreasonable at first to be told that continued concern is | attack. It has all the appearances of love. Yet love without trust is |
M:12.5 | you use the body for, it will become to you. Use it for sin or for | attack, which is the same as sin, and you will see it as sinful. |
M:13.7 | to God. It is its holiness that makes you safe. It is denied if you | attack any brother for anything. For it is here the split with God |
M:17.1 | teacher of God to master. His first responsibility in this is not to | attack it. If a magic thought arouses anger in any form, God's |
M:17.3 | but release for teacher and pupil who have shared in one intent. | Attack can enter only if perception of separate goals has entered. |
M:19.1 | In this world, however, forgiveness depends on justice since all | attack can only be unjust. Justice is the Holy Spirit's verdict upon |

M:22.3 | the body autonomy, separates it from the mind, and keeps the idea of | attack inviolate. If the body could be sick, Atonement would be |

M:28.3 | spreads over the world, forgiving all things and replacing all | attack. The whole reversal is accomplished. Nothing is left to |

Tx:9.74 | you hate what you think you are. And this, and only this, can be | attacked by you. What you think you are can be hateful, and what this |
Tx:10.49 | you have denied yourself. By believing that you have successfully | attacked truth, you are believing that attack has power. Very simply, |
Tx:11.2 | This is quite evidently a mental split in which you have | attacked the integrity of your mind and pitted one level within it |

W1:26.1 | It is surely obvious that if you can be | attacked, you are not invulnerable. You see attack as a real threat. |

Tx:7.60 | The Holy Spirit undoes illusions without | attacking them merely because He cannot perceive them at all. They |
Tx:7.62 | seems to contradict His, and this makes it appear as if you are | attacking Him. We have repeatedly emphasized that the ego does |

Tx:5.64 | because as soon as you regard sin as a lack you will automatically | attempt to remedy the situation. And you will succeed. The ego |

Tx:6.61 | the same mind, you can overcome death because I did. Death is an | attempt to resolve conflict by not willing at all. Like any other |
Tx:7.66 | cannot make the meaningless meaningful. This can only be an insane | attempt. |

Tx:8.85 | the will, wants to separate the body from the mind. This is an | attempt to destroy it, yet the ego actually believes that it is |
Tx:9.3 | Holy Spirit. The ego makes no sense, and the Holy Spirit does not | attempt to understand anything that arises from it. Since He does not |
Tx:9.7 | love. Atonement cannot be separate, because it comes from love. Any | attempt you make to correct a brother means that you believe |

Tx:15.39 | simple. Complexity is of the ego and is nothing more than the ego's | attempt to obscure the obvious. |

Tx:15.63 | ever was. Yet as long as you prefer to be something else, or would | attempt to be nothing else and something else together, the language |
Tx:15.74 | cannot be love and must be anger. All anger is nothing more than an | attempt to make someone feel guilty, and this attempt is the only |
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:15.83 | you of what He does not understand. And because of the Source of the | attempt, it will succeed. The Holy Spirit asks you to respond as God |
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:16.6 | release. The unredeemed cannot redeem, yet they have a Redeemer. | Attempt to teach Him not. You are the learner; He the Teacher. Do not |
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: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:19.21 | Any | attempt to reinterpret sin as error is always indefensible to the |

Tx:22.61 | has not happened nor could be real. You do not see that this is your | attempt because you think the Father and the Son are separate. And |

W1:2.2 | to anything is merely that your eyes have lighted on it. Make no | attempt to include anything particular, but be sure that nothing is |
W1:4.3 | of separating the meaningless from the meaningful. It is a first | attempt in the long-range purpose of learning to see the meaningless |
W1:13.8 | signs of overt or covert fear which it may arouse. This is our first | attempt at stating an explicit cause and effect relationship of a |

W1:28.7 | be accorded equal sincerity as today's idea is applied to it in an | attempt to acknowledge the equal value of them all in their |
W1:33.1 | Today's idea is an | attempt to recognize that you can shift your perception of the world |

W1:44.3 | Today we are going to | attempt to reach that light. For this purpose, we will use a form of |
W1:45.3 | Where, then, are your real thoughts? Today we will | attempt to reach them. We will have to look for them in your mind |
W1:45.4 | same general form that we used in applying yesterday's idea. We will | attempt to leave the unreal and seek for the real. We will deny the |
W1:45.11 | that this is no idle game but an exercise in holiness and an | attempt to reach the Kingdom of Heaven. |
W1:55.6 | my illusions about myself are real. It is for that purpose that I | attempt to use everyone and everything. It is this that I believe the |
W1:65.6 | At first, make no | attempt to concentrate only on thoughts related to the idea for |

W1:69.2 | Today let us make another real | attempt to reach the light in you. Before we undertake this in our |
W1:69.5 | reality. They seem to be all there is to see. Therefore you do not | attempt to go through them and past them, which is the only way in |
W1:69.5 | be really convinced of their lack of substance. We will make this | attempt today. |
W1:69.8 | sure that it is given you, and you will yet receive it. Try, as you | attempt to go through the clouds to the light, to hold this |
W1:70.4 | healing lies. You have tried to do just the opposite, making every | attempt, however distorted and fantastic it might be, to separate |
W1:71.6 | to seek there only. Otherwise your purpose is divided, and you will | attempt to follow two plans for salvation which are diametrically |
W1:72.1 | emphasized that it is an active attack on His plan and a deliberate | attempt to destroy it. In the attack, God is assigned the attributes |
W1:72.3 | Although the | attempt to keep the limitations which a body would impose is obvious |
W1:78.4 | Today we will | attempt to see God's Son. We will not let ourselves be blind to him; |

W1:94.3 | will again devote the first five minutes of each waking hour to the | attempt to feel the truth in you. Begin these times of searching with |
W1:95.3 | We will | attempt today to be aware of only what can hear and see and what |
W1:95.16 | Repeat this several times, and then | attempt to feel the meaning which the words convey. You are One Self, |
W1:96.2 | if you would be saved. Until you have accepted this, you will | attempt endless lists of goals you cannot reach; a senseless series |
W1:96.4 | A mind and body cannot both exist. Make no | attempt to reconcile the two, for one denies the other can be real. |
W1:96.9 | We will | attempt today to find this thought, whose presence in your mind is |

W1:R3.10 | your learning not lie idly by between your longer practice periods. | Attempt to give your daily two ideas a brief but serious review each |
W1:124.8 | an hour to the thought that you are one with God. This is our first | attempt at an extended period for which we give no rules nor special |
W1:126.9 | Give 15 minutes twice today to the | attempt to understand today's idea. It is the thought by which |
W1:130.6 | Today we will | attempt no compromise where none is possible. The world you see is |
W1:130.7 | as one. We will not make a thousand meaningless distinctions, nor | attempt to bring with us a little part of unreality as we devote our |
W1:133.2 | world, you ask for sorrow, not for happiness. This course does not | attempt to take from you the little that you have. It does not try to |
W1:133.14 | with nothing to find everything and claim it as their own. We will | attempt to reach this state today, with self-deception laid aside and |
W1:134.3 | the truth and not illusions. You conceive of pardon as a vain | attempt to look past what is there; to overlook the truth in an |
W1:135.2 | And it is this you do when you | attempt to plan the future, activate the past, or organize the |
W1:136.3 | in which the choice is made, you recognize exactly what you would | attempt to do and then proceed to think that it is done. |

W1:185.10 | you wanted, where to look for it, and where to turn for help in the | attempt. Help has been given you. And would you not avail yourself of |
W1:193.14 | We will | attempt today to overcome a thousand seeming obstacles to peace in |
W1:196.1 | this is firmly understood and kept in full awareness, you will not | attempt to harm yourself nor make your body slave to vengeance. You |
W1:200.2 | hurt, of making peace of chaos, joy of pain, and Heaven out of hell. | Attempt no more to win through losing, nor to die to live. You cannot |
W1:200.9 | again today. We go to Heaven, and the path is straight. Only if we | attempt to wander can there be delay and needless wasted time on |
W1:R6.6 | We will | attempt to get beyond all words and special forms of practicing for |
W1:R6.6 | all words and special forms of practicing for this review. For we | attempt this time to reach a quickened pace along a shorter path to |

W2:WIW.5 | satisfied until forgiveness has been made complete. And let us not | attempt to change our function. We must save the world. For we who |
W2:261.1 | cannot be attacked. Let me today seek not security in danger, nor | attempt to find my peace in murderous attack. I live in God. In Him I |
W2:268.1 | not be Your critic, Lord, today, and judge against You. Let me not | attempt to interfere with Your creation and distort it into sickly |

Tx:7.29 | To be in the Kingdom is merely to focus your full | attention on it. As long as you believe that you can attend to what |

Tx:17.37 | gift can only be accepted through your willingness to focus all your | attention on the picture. The holy instant is a miniature of |
Tx:18.69 | a place within you where the activity of the body ceases to demand | attention. Into this place the Holy Spirit comes and there abides. He |
Tx:27.54 | Spirit says and keep His words from your awareness. Pain compels | attention, drawing it away from Him and focusing upon itself. Its |

Tx:21.76 | a threat the rest have lost for you. And this imagined difference | attests to your belief that truth may be the enemy you yet may find. |

Tx:25.37 | one could believe in one unless the other were the truth, for each | attests the other must be true. |
Tx:25.54 | that would lead the Son of God to sanity and joy. Nothing | attests to death and cruelty, to separation, and to differences. For |
Tx:27.18 | Thus does the miracle undo all things the world | attests can never be undone. And hopelessness and death must |
Tx:27.59 | help within a world of misery. It is their sameness that the miracle | attests. It is their sameness that it proves. |

Tx:4.56 | that you do listen to the voice of your ego is demonstrated by your | attitudes, your feelings, and your behavior. Your attitudes are |

Tx:13.66 | as creating is being in Heaven. Whenever the pain of guilt seems to | attract you, remember that, if you yield to it, you are deciding |
Tx:14.12 | safe embrace of love and union. Stand quietly within this circle and | attract all tortured minds to join with you in the safety of its |
Tx:15.66 | all, except that no one recognizes it. For the ego always seems to | attract through love and has no attraction at all to anyone who |

Tx:5.53 | united, and the ego fades away and is undone in the presence of the | attraction of the parts of the Sonship, which hear the call of the |
Tx:11.83 | reality. What God did not give you has no power over you, and the | attraction of love for love remains irresistible. For it is the |

Tx:15.77 | that it is not impossible. In the holy instant, guilt holds no | attraction, since communication has been restored. And guilt, whose |
Tx:15.89 | your creations have to be with you forever, you would experience the | attraction of the eternal. No one can hear Him speak of this and long |
Tx:15.90 | the loveliness that you could see. But this you must remember—the | attraction of guilt opposes the attraction of God. His attraction for |

Tx:17.46 | been changed sufficiently to make its former goal completely without | attraction, and its structure is “threatened” by the recognition of |
Tx:18.65 | it entirely, for sin is never present. In any single instant, the | attraction of guilt would be experienced as pain and nothing else and |

Tx:19.59 | belief that the body is valuable for what it offers. For here is the | attraction of guilt made manifest in the body and seen in it. |
Tx:19.71 | to pain. For it invites fear to enter and become your purpose. The | attraction of guilt must enter with it, and whatever fear directs the |
Tx:19.72 | fear's orders, the body will pursue guilt, serving its master whose | attraction to guilt maintains the whole illusion of its existence. |
Tx:19.72 | maintains the whole illusion of its existence. This, then, is the | attraction of pain. Ruled by this perception, the body becomes the |
Tx:19.75 | of the ego's rule. Not one but must believe that yielding to the | attraction of guilt is the escape from pain. Not one but must regard |
Tx:19.77 | he chooses death. What seems to be the fear of death is really its | attraction. Guilt, too, is feared and fearful. Yet it could have no |
Tx:19.86 | The fear of death will go as its appeal is yielded to love's real | attraction. The end of sin, which nestles quietly in the safety of |
Tx:19.90 | the fear of death? What would you feel and think if death held no | attraction for you? Very simply, you would remember your Father. The |
Tx:19.92 | the darkest veil, upheld by the belief in death and protected by its | attraction. The dedication to death and to its sovereignty is but the |
Tx:19.93 | you. For if this is gone, what can you fear but life? It is the | attraction of death that makes life seem to be ugly, cruel, and |
Tx:19.94 | love the body. And the appeal of death is lost forever as love's | attraction stirs and calls to you. From beyond each of the obstacles |
Tx:19.94 | Itself has called, and each has been surmounted by the power of the | attraction of what lies beyond. Your wanting fear seemed to be |
Tx:20.53 | powerful and so bitterly misunderstood and so invested in a false | attraction, your preference to the holy instant which offers you |
Tx:21.70 | And only those who first believe that they are little could see | attraction there. Treachery to the Son of God is the defense of those |
Tx:22.8 | indeed! Let not your fear of sin protect it from correction, for the | attraction of guilt is only fear. Here is the one emotion that you |
Tx:23.4 | not the little interferers pull you to littleness. There can be no | attraction of guilt in innocence. Think what a happy world you walk |
Tx:23.4 | for a little sigh of seeming sin nor for a tiny stirring of guilt's | attraction. Would you, for all these meaningless distractions, lay |
Tx:24.34 | kill, and you are drawn to it to kill it first. And such is guilt's | attraction. Here is death enthroned as savior; crucifixion is now |
W1:192.4 | by which the fear of death is overcome because it holds no fierce | attraction now, and guilt is gone. |
attractive (7) | ||
Tx:15.74 | the ego has, and as long as you identify with it, guilt will remain | attractive to you. |
Tx:18.63 | in your interpretation, and this always means you still find sin | attractive. No one accepts Atonement for himself who still accepts |
Tx:19.25 | that the sin is denied the acting out, but while the guilt remains | attractive the mind will suffer and not let go of the idea of sin. |
Tx:19.26 | you want and will not let it go. An error, on the other hand, is not | attractive. What you see clearly as a mistake you want corrected. |

Tx:22.32 | Only the form of error | attracts the ego. Meaning it does not recognize and does not know if |
Tx:23.50 | extended to all creation. Each form of murder and attack that still | attracts you and that you do not recognize for what it is limits the |
W1:133.9 | the others rest. Why is the choice you make of value to you? What | attracts your mind to it? What purpose does it serve? Here it is |
attributable (1) | ||
Tx:12.4 | Much of the ego's strange behavior is directly | attributable to its definition of guilt. To the ego, the guiltless |
attribute (25) | ||
Tx:1.90 | essentially motivated by needs, but behavior itself is not a divine | attribute. The body is the mechanism for behavior. The belief that he |
Tx:2.5 | To “project,” as defined above, is a fundamental | attribute of God which He gave to His Son. In the creation, God |
Tx:2.17 | others or from yourself to others or from others to you. Peace is an | attribute in you. You cannot find it outside. All mental illness is |
Tx:2.106 | only because he does not understand it. Judgment is not an essential | attribute of God. Man brought judgment into being only because of the |
Tx:3.26 | emptiness never find any lasting solace. Innocence is not a partial | attribute. It is not a real defense until it is total. When it is |
Tx:3.30 | and certainty is strength. Perception is merely temporary. It is an | attribute of the space-time belief and is therefore subject to fear |
Tx:4.68 | be restored. I raised the dead by knowing that life is an eternal | attribute of everything that the living God created. Why do you |
Tx:4.79 | to accept as reasonable a compromise which is clearly senseless—to | attribute it to the mental illness of the patient rather than his own |
Tx:7.54 | however, for you to see something in part of it that you will not | attribute to all of it. That is why attack is never discrete and why |
Tx:9.94 | but you have judged them by the message you give to them. Do not | attribute your denial of joy to them, or you cannot see the spark in |
Tx:14.12 | circle is everyone whom God created as His Son. Joy is its unifying | attribute, with no one left outside to suffer guilt alone. The power |
Tx:16.10 | all the Sonship when you do not understand the miracle itself? One | attribute is no more difficult to understand than is the whole. If |

Tx:26.12 | by one without regard to size, complexity, or place and time, or any | attribute which you perceive that makes each one seem different from |
W1:21.6 | as possible. You may, for example, focus your anger on a particular | attribute of a particular person, believing that the anger is limited |
W1:35.11 | As often as possible during the day, pick up a specific | attribute or attributes you are ascribing to yourself at the time and |
W1:43.1 | Perception is not an | attribute of God. His is the realm of knowledge. Yet He has created |
W1:67.4 | Any | attribute which is in accord with God as He defines Himself is |
W1:99.7 | regardless of their form, their size, their depth, or any | attribute they seem to have: |
W1:103.1 | Happiness is an | attribute of love. It cannot be apart from it, nor can it be |
W1:127.9 | a different present, where a future shines unlike the past in every | attribute. |
W1:137.8 | will not prevail against the truth. Healing is shared. And by this | attribute, it proves that laws unlike the ones which hold that |
W1:156.3 | Yet where He is there must be holiness as well as life. No | attribute of His remains unshared by everything that lives. What |

Tx:4.29 | and very commendable effort to become both harmless and helpful, two | attributes which must go together. Your attitudes, even toward this, |

Tx:5.84 | extremely ingenious, and a mind must endow its thoughts with its own | attributes. This is its inherent strength, although it may misuse its |
Tx:14.1 | but listen and learn how impossible this is! Do not endow Him with | attributes you understand. You made Him not, and anything you |
Tx:15.104 | of Heaven and hell in him by casting Heaven out and giving it the | attributes of hell without experiencing himself as incomplete and |
Tx:16.10 | to understand than is the whole. If miracles are at all, their | attributes would have to be miraculous, being part of them. |
Tx:16.12 | what miracles mean. And if you could understand their meaning, their | attributes could hardly cause you perplexity. |
Tx:16.52 | entail nor of the sadness and the loneliness. For these are only | attributes of the whole religion of the separation and of the total |
Tx:17.25 | and the ego. Thought systems are but true or false, and all their | attributes come simply from what they are. Only the Thoughts of God |
Tx:20.61 | nothing, which it is, the body cannot meaningfully be invested with | attributes of Christ or of the ego. Either must be an error, for both |
Tx:20.61 | or of the ego. Either must be an error, for both would place the | attributes where they cannot be. And both must be undone for purposes |
Tx:24.35 | And minds can change as they desire. What they are and all their | attributes, they cannot change. But what they hold as purpose can be |
Tx:25.50 | it change. Yet is it possible what God created not should share the | attributes of His creation when it opposes it in every way? |
Tx:25.51 | changed? What is immutable besides His Will? And what can share Its | attributes except Itself? What wish can rise against His Will and be |
Tx:28.6 | phase of what does nothing. It works hand in hand with all the other | attributes with which you seek to keep concealed the truth about |
Tx:30.43 | suffer change. Thoughts are not born and cannot die. They share the | attributes of their creator, nor have they a separate life apart from |
W1:12.1 | or a sad world, or a violent world, or an insane world. All these | attributes are given it by you. The world is meaningless in itself. |
W1:13.3 | If you are fearful, it is certain that you will endow the world with | attributes which it does not possess and crowd it with images that do |
W1:35.4 | terms in which you see yourself. Include all of the ego-based | attributes which you ascribe to yourself, positive or negative, |
W1:35.11 | As often as possible during the day, pick up a specific attribute or | attributes you are ascribing to yourself at the time and apply the |
W1:40.3 | time and no effort. Repeat today's idea, and then add several of the | attributes which you associate with being a Son of God, applying them |
W1:72.1 | deliberate attempt to destroy it. In the attack, God is assigned the | attributes which are actually associated with the ego, while the ego |

W1:94.6 | to lay all idols and self-images aside, go past the long list of | attributes, both “good” and “bad,” you have ascribed to yourself and |
W1:140.7 | change but this. For how can one illusion differ from another but in | attributes that have no substance, no reality, no core, and nothing |
W1:167.6 | no source. For mind creates all things that are and cannot give them | attributes it lacks nor change its own eternal, mindful state. It |

W1:170.13 | at peace forever. You have chosen Him in place of idols, and your | attributes, given by your Creator, are restored to you at last. The |
W1:184.1 | By this you carve it out of unity. By this you designate its special | attributes and set it off from other things by emphasizing space |
W1:186.9 | such instability and call it Son? He Who is changeless shares His | attributes with His creation. All the images His Son appears to make |

Tx:9.65 | do not think this mysterious, even though all the laws of what you | awakened to were violated while you slept. Is it not possible that |

Tx:12.28 | present. The ego would preserve your nightmares and prevent you from | awakening and understanding that they are past. |
Tx:12.56 | Awakening unto Christ is following the laws of love of your free will | |

Tx:8.27 | unite the will of the Sonship with the Will of the Father by being | aware of the Father's Will myself. This is the awareness I came to |
Tx:8.51 | It cannot be described, and it cannot be explained. I can make you | aware of the conditions of truth, but the experience is of God. |

Tx:8.98 | that God has not left him. The martyr, on the other hand, is more | aware of guilt and, believing that punishment is inevitable, attempts |

Tx:9.31 | How can you become increasingly | aware of the Holy Spirit in you except by His effects? You cannot see |
Tx:9.48 | of God and only of Him. Therefore, it is in you. Whenever you become | aware of it, however dimly, you abandon the ego automatically, |
Tx:9.50 | and ego-alien beliefs of its own. We once said that the ego is | aware of threat, but does not make distinctions between two entirely |
Tx:9.76 | with all His Children joins them together and them to Him. To be | aware of this is to heal them, because it is the awareness that no |

Tx:10.66 | are only having nightmares. You who are beginning to wake are still | aware of dreams and have not yet forgotten them. The forgetting of |
Tx:11.29 | him afraid of himself. He does not realize this. Even if he is fully | aware of anxiety, he does not perceive its source as his own ego |
Tx:11.54 | because He perceives nothing but your Soul as you. He is perfectly | aware that you do not know yourselves and perfectly aware of how to |
Tx:11.54 | He is perfectly aware that you do not know yourselves and perfectly | aware of how to teach you what you are. Because He loves you, He will |
Tx:11.64 | to you only through the witnesses who speak for it. For you can be | aware of what you cannot see, and it can become compellingly real to |
Tx:12.45 | To perceive truly is to be | aware of all reality through the awareness of your own. But for this |
Tx:15.60 | is impossible. For gain and loss are both accepted, and so no one is | aware that perfect love is in him. In the holy instant, you recognize |
Tx:17.29 | although the ego did not understand what had been created, it was | aware of threat. |
Tx:17.58 | is evident. The ego does not know what it wants to come of it. It is | aware of what it does not want, but only that. It has no positive |

Tx:21.51 | do so. But minds cannot be separate. This other Self is perfectly | aware of this. And thus It recognizes that miracles do not affect |
Tx:25.9 | you really will. But this is understood by mind perceived as one, | aware that it is one and so experienced. It is the Holy Spirit's |
Tx:25.76 | the same inheritance to both. Who would have more or less is not | aware that he has everything. He is no judge of what must be |
Tx:27.27 | and distinct for each of you preserves your Self from being made | aware of any function other than Its own. And thus is healing given |

Tx:30.48 | can have no end. You have not two realities, but one. Nor can you be | aware of more than one. An idol or the Thought God holds of you is |
Tx:30.49 | behind them is so lovely and so still in loving gentleness, were you | aware of it you would forget defensiveness entirely and rush to its |

W1:16.7 | As usual, use today's idea whenever you are | aware of a particular thought which arouses uneasiness. The following |

W1:33.5 | Remember to apply today's idea the instant you are | aware of distress. It may be necessary to take a minute or so to sit |
W1:43.11 | If you should find your mind wandering, if you begin to be | aware of thoughts which are clearly out of accord with today's idea, |

Tx:1.20 | 20. Miracles reawaken the | awareness that the spirit, not the body, is the altar of truth. This |
Tx:1.31 | is to restore everything to you, or rather to restore it to your | awareness. You were given everything when you were created, just as |
Tx:1.71 | being one, this state of mind goes out to anyone, even without the | awareness of the miracle worker himself. The impersonal nature of |
Tx:1.72 | 45. The miracle is an expression of an inner | awareness of Christ and the acceptance of His Atonement. The mind is |
Tx:1.74 | of the miracle should be Christ-controlled because of His complete | awareness of the whole plan. The impersonal nature of |

Tx:3.58 | part of it is to know all of it. Only perception involves partial | awareness. Knowledge transcends all the laws which govern perception |
Tx:3.64 | dreams. Nothing that you have refused to accept can be brought into | awareness. It does not follow that it is dangerous, but it does |
Tx:4.45 | what you have repressed can retain a very active life beyond your | awareness. |
Tx:4.46 | not only the baser impulses but also the most lofty ones from | awareness because both are threatening to the ego and, being |

Tx:8.68 | that this is possible. In its complete impossibility and your full | awareness of its complete impossibility lie your only hope for |

Tx:9.19 | Reality has not gone in the meanwhile. The Second Coming is the | awareness of reality, not its return. Behold, my children, reality is |
Tx:9.19 | and me and God and is perfectly satisfying to all of us. Only this | awareness heals, because it is the awareness of truth. |

Tx:9.53 | cannot co-exist, nor is it possible for them to alternate in your | awareness. Littleness and grandiosity can and must alternate in your |
Tx:9.53 | awareness. Littleness and grandiosity can and must alternate in your | awareness since both are untrue and are therefore on the same level. |
Tx:9.68 | you have forgotten. And you have replaced your knowledge by an | awareness of dreams because you are afraid of your dissociation, not |

Tx:9.82 | of nothingness, but you are really afraid of nothing. And in that | awareness you are healed. You will hear the god you listen to. You |

Tx:10.60 | about what perception means because the same word is used both for | awareness and for the interpretation of awareness. Yet you cannot be |
Tx:10.60 | same word is used both for awareness and for the interpretation of | awareness. Yet you cannot be aware without interpretation, and what |
Tx:10.61 | with Him involves no strain at all. His perceptions are your natural | awareness, and it is only distortions which you introduce that tire |
Tx:10.66 | and have not yet forgotten them. The forgetting of dreams and the | awareness of Christ comes with the awakening of others to share your |
Tx:10.68 | God's Son is saved. Bring only this | awareness to the Sonship, and you will have a part in the redemption |
Tx:10.72 | do not exist. And this is the condition of knowledge. Without this | awareness, you have not met its conditions, and until you do you will |
Tx:11.6 | appeals for help, for both are capable of bringing love into your | awareness if you perceive them truly. And all your sense of strain |
Tx:11.8 | name of Christ brings the remembrance of your Father closer to your | awareness. For the sake of your need, then, hear every call for help |
Tx:11.9 | of others more and more consistently, you will gain an increasing | awareness that His criteria are equally applicable to you. For to |
Tx:11.13 | it? The Holy Spirit's interpretation of fear does dispel it, for the | awareness of truth cannot be denied. Thus does the Holy Spirit |
Tx:11.22 | the peace out of which He was created. Would you not exchange this | awareness for the awareness of your fear? When we have overcome fear |
Tx:11.22 | which He was created. Would you not exchange this awareness for the | awareness of your fear? When we have overcome fear—not by hiding |
Tx:11.42 | was not the price of our wholeness, but it was the price of your | awareness of your wholeness. For what you chose to “sell” had to be |
Tx:11.53 | nothing in return. You cannot sell your Soul, but you can sell your | awareness of it. You cannot perceive your Soul, but you will not know |
Tx:11.82 | matter how much distance you have tried to interpose between your | awareness and truth. God's Son can be seen because his vision is |
Tx:12.3 | of your hidden cornerstones holds your belief in guilt from your | awareness. For in that dark and secret place is the realization that |
Tx:12.10 | it to you and dispel it, without the need for you to raise it to | awareness yourself. Yet there is one more complication which you have |
Tx:12.45 | To perceive truly is to be aware of all reality through the | awareness of your own. But for this no illusions can rise to meet |
Tx:12.54 | it. Everyone you see in light brings your light closer to your own | awareness. Love always leads to love. The sick who ask for love are |
Tx:12.56 | it is they who hold it out to you. In sleep you are alone, and your | awareness is narrowed to yourself. And that is why the nightmares |
Tx:13.20 | is to hide the real source of your guilt and keep from your | awareness the full perception that it is insane. Displacement always |
Tx:13.20 | little opposition to look upon all sorts of “sources” underneath | awareness, provided that they are not the deeper source to which they |
Tx:14.6 | until he teaches it and learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim | awareness that his true function remains unfulfilled in him. The |
Tx:14.58 | have the power, but you have interposed so much between it and your | awareness of it that you cannot use it. Everything you have taught |
Tx:14.66 | given you will speak to you. He will take His rightful place in your | awareness the instant you abandon it and offer it to Him. |
Tx:15.25 | your magnitude in this world. To hold your magnitude in perfect | awareness in a world of littleness is a task the little cannot |
Tx:15.27 | Every decision you make is for Heaven or for hell and will bring you | awareness of what you decided for. The Holy Spirit can hold your |
Tx:15.29 | decided for holiness for you. It is our task together to restore the | awareness of magnitude to the host whom God appointed for Himself. It |
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:15.44 | Let the Holy Spirit's purity shine them away and bring all your | awareness to the readiness for purity He offers you. Thus will He |
Tx:15.62 | been drawn across reality is lifted. Nothing has changed. Yet the | awareness of changelessness comes swiftly as the veil of time is |
Tx:15.64 | your Source and that of all your brothers to replace it in your | awareness. God and the power of God will take their rightful place in |
Tx:15.73 | The fury of those joined at the ego's altar far exceeds your | awareness of it. For what the ego really wants, you do not realize. |
Tx:15.78 | to have you be complete. For your completion makes you His in your | awareness. And here it is that you experience yourself as you were |
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:15.84 | He understands it because you have made it. In Him alone lies the | awareness of what God cannot know and what you do not understand. It |
Tx:15.87 | God. In the holy instant, where the Great Rays replace the body in | awareness, the recognition of relationships without limits is given |
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:16.17 | of holiness and the weakness of attack have both been brought into | awareness. And this has been accomplished in minds firmly convinced |
Tx:16.74 | And even when the hatred and the savagery break briefly through into | awareness, the illusion of love is not profoundly shaken. Yet the one |
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 |
Tx:17.54 | time to close over it. It must be kept shining and gracious in your | awareness of time but not concealed within it. The instant remains. |
Tx:18.37 | only that I do not interfere with His plan to restore to me my own | awareness of my readiness, which is eternal. I need add nothing to |
Tx:18.49 | from Him. Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely an | awareness of perfect Oneness and the knowledge that there is nothing |
Tx:18.50 | and get something else, something outside yourself, has cost you the | awareness of Heaven and the loss of your Identity. And you have done |
Tx:18.59 | really happens is that you have given up the illusion of a limited | awareness and lost your fear of union. The love that instantly |
Tx:18.61 | the sudden experience of peace and joy, and, above all, the lack of | awareness of the body and of the questioning whether or not all this |
Tx:18.64 | but never quite the same. And every instant that you spend without | awareness of it gives you a different view of it when you return. |
Tx:18.70 | center, from which the body is absent, that will keep it so in your | awareness of it. |
Tx:18.71 | It is only the | awareness of the body that makes love seem limited. For the body is a |
Tx:18.72 | The body cannot know. And while you limit your | awareness to its tiny senses, you will not see the grandeur which |
Tx:18.86 | and the messages it transmits to you who made it to limit your | awareness are little and limited and so fragmented they are |
Tx:19.37 | lives, surrounding both of you with glowing happiness and the calm | awareness of complete protection. And you will carry its message of |
Tx:19.68 | limits which would hold its extension back and so would limit your | awareness of it. For what He gives must be extended if you would have |
Tx:19.82 | an Answer which left Him not and therefore brings the Creator to the | awareness of every mind which heard His Answer and accepted it. |
Tx:20.14 | way to Heaven and to the peace of Easter, in which we join in glad | awareness that the Son of God is risen from the past and has awakened |
Tx:20.15 | where the strength and freedom wait, to offer and receive the bright | awareness that leads you home. The lamp is lit in both of you for one |
Tx:20.57 | from themselves and keep remembrance of His love apart from their | awareness? |
Tx:20.76 | and screaming sounds the ego's purpose brought to your horrified | awareness. They step away from sin, reminding you that it is not |
Tx:21.37 | of Heaven. The instant for its recognition is at hand. Join your | awareness to what has been already joined. The faith you give each |
Tx:21.49 | and never to reality. Yet it can show you the conditions in which | awareness of reality is possible or those where it could never be. |
Tx:21.50 | Reality needs no cooperation from you to be itself. But your | awareness of it needs your help because it is your choice. Listen to |
Tx:21.52 | reason. Reason lies in the other Self you have cut off from your | awareness. And nothing you have allowed to stay in it is capable of |
Tx:21.90 | what He has given you? Here is the great appeal to reason; the | awareness of what is always there to see, the happiness that could be |
Tx:21.90 | nothing stand between the holiness of your relationship and your | awareness of its holiness. |
Tx:22.14 | the first direct perception that you have made. You made it through | awareness older than perception and yet reborn in just an instant. |
Tx:22.29 | are contradictory. Nor is it possible for them to co-exist in your | awareness. And reason's goal is to make plain and therefore obvious. |
Tx:22.36 | be kept from you by what the body's eyes can see. Let your | awareness of your brother not be blocked by your perception of his |
Tx:22.37 | above all else. Unholy values will produce confusion, and in | awareness. In an unholy relationship, each one is valued because he |
Tx:22.40 | the drapery that separates you now. Yet it is almost over in your | awareness, and peace has reached you even here before the veil. Think |
Tx:22.49 | If you but recognized how little stands between you and your | awareness of your union! Be not deceived by the illusions it presents |
Tx:23.3 | they share their innocence. Nothing they see is harmful, for their | awareness of the truth releases everything from the illusion of |
Tx:23.5 | light the way to his, and so is yours protected and kept in your | awareness. For who can know his glory and perceive the little and the |
Tx:23.40 | or the way to hell? Quite easily. How do you feel? Is peace in your | awareness? Are you certain which way you go? And are you sure the |
Tx:23.41 | smiles are gone and where the purpose rises to meet his horrified | awareness and pursue him still. For no one thinks of murder and |
Tx:23.43 | complete for everyone. Let the idea of compromise but enter, and the | awareness of salvation's purpose is lost because it is not |
Tx:23.54 | Sorrow of any kind is inconceivable. Only the light they love is in | awareness, and only love shines upon them forever. It is their past, |
Tx:23.55 | Those with the strength of God in their | awareness could never think of battle. What could they gain but loss |
Tx:24.25 | be reached save through the sight of all your misery and the | awareness that your plan has failed and will forever fail to bring |
Tx:25.87 | offered to everyone alike. It is received and given equally. It is | awareness that giving and receiving are the same. Because it does not |
Tx:26.47 | are seen as consequence and cause in a relationship kept hidden from | awareness that it may be carefully preserved from reason's light. |
Tx:26.86 | by any veil which stands between Their shining innocence and your | awareness it is your own and equally belongs to every living thing |
Tx:27.30 | and empty space can not be interference. What can interfere with the | awareness of reality is the belief that there is something there. |
Tx:27.54 | would silence what the Holy Spirit says and keep His words from your | awareness. Pain compels attention, drawing it away from Him and |
Tx:29.41 | is now restored the function God established for His Son in full | awareness. Time can set no end to its fulfillment nor its |
Tx:30.24 | when you are wrong. Thus is the readiness for asking brought to your | awareness, for you cannot be in conflict when you ask for what you |
Tx:30.44 | An unremembered thought is born again to you when it returns to your | awareness. Yet it did not die when you forgot it. It was always |
Tx:30.62 | Thus is the real world's purpose gently brought into | awareness, to replace the goal of sin and guilt. And all that stood |
Tx:30.69 | their will is one. And thus the Will of God must reach to their | awareness. Nor can they forget for long that it is but their own. |
Tx:30.92 | Miracles but show what you have interposed between reality and your | awareness is unreal and does not interfere at all. The cost of the |
W1:16.5 | repeat the idea, and then as each one crosses your mind, hold it in | awareness while you tell yourself: |
W1:31.3 | world, merely let whatever thoughts cross your mind come into your | awareness, each to be considered for a moment and then replaced by |
W1:32.3 | you wish as you watch the images your imagination presents to your | awareness. |
W1:34.5 | throughout the day. If a specific form of temptation arises in your | awareness, the exercise should take this form: |
W1:37.2 | have any idea why he is losing. Yet is his wholeness restored to his | awareness through your vision. Your holiness blesses him by asking |
W1:37.9 | your holiness immediately that you may learn to keep it in your own | awareness. |
W1:43.2 | it must become the means for the restoration of his holiness to his | awareness. Perception has no meaning. Yet does the Holy Spirit give |
W1:43.17 | If no particular subject presents itself to your | awareness, merely repeat the idea in its original form. |
W1:44.8 | of what you are doing, its inestimable value to you, and an | awareness that you are attempting something very holy. Salvation is |
W1:46.2 | thus undoes what fear has produced, returning the mind to the | awareness of God. For this reason, forgiveness can truly be called |
W1:47.7 | which you need and to which you are entitled. You must also gain an | awareness that your confidence in your real strength is fully |
W1:48.3 | fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. The | awareness that there is nothing to fear shows that somewhere in your |
W1:55.4 | see a world of attack. As forgiveness allows love to return to my | awareness, I will see a world of peace and safety and joy. It is this |
W1:56.4 | While I see the world as I see it now, truth cannot enter my | awareness. I would let the door behind this world be opened for me |
W1:62.3 | will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son to your | awareness. |
W1:62.8 | for your heart will recognize these words, and in your mind is the | awareness that they are true. Should your attention wander, repeat |
W1:63.3 | by acknowledging it and close the day with the thought of it in our | awareness. And throughout the day, we will repeat this as often as we |
W1:67.6 | going past that and through the interval of thoughtlessness to the | awareness of a blazing light in which you recognize yourself as Love |
W1:67.6 | created you. Be confident that you will do much today to bring that | awareness nearer, whether you feel you have succeeded or not. |
W1:68.2 | do not yet fully realize just what holding grievances does to your | awareness. It seems to split you off from your Source and make you |
W1:69.9 | that your grievances are hiding the light of the world from your | awareness. Remind yourself also that you are not searching for it |
W1:72.9 | yourself in a body and the truth outside you, locked away from your | awareness by the body's limitations. Now we are going to try to see |
W1:73.2 | the ego employs to traffic in grievances and stand between your | awareness and your brothers' reality. Beholding them, you do not know |
W1:73.11 | from hell and from all idle wishes. His will is now restored to his | awareness. He is willing this very day to look upon the light in him |
W1:75.15 | day to the serenity in which God would have you be. Keep it in your | awareness of yourself and see it everywhere today, as we celebrate |
W1:85.7 | away from me for my salvation. I will not let this interfere with my | awareness of the Source of my salvation. This has no power to remove |
W1:86.5 | I am therefore excluding my only hope of salvation from my | awareness. I would no longer defeat my own best interests in this |
W1:91.1 | absence is not the result of your failure to see. It is only your | awareness of miracles that is affected. You will see them in the |
W1:91.4 | not doubt. The miracles your sense of weakness hides will leap into | awareness as you feel the strength in you. |
W1:91.8 | truth of what you are calls on the strength in you to bring to your | awareness what the mistake concealed. |
W1:95.16 | You are God's Son, One Self with one Creator and one goal—to bring | awareness of this oneness to all minds, that true creation may extend |
W1:96.16 | experiences it will save for you, and it will yet be yours in full | awareness. Every time you spend five minutes of the hour seeking Him |
W1:97.3 | to bring reality still closer to your mind. Each time you practice, | awareness is brought a little nearer at least; sometimes a thousand |
W1:107.10 | Him Who goes with you upon this undertaking that He be in your | awareness as you go with Him. You are not made of flesh and blood and |
W1:110.5 | birthplace of all miracles, the great restorer of the truth to the | awareness of the world. Practice today's idea with gratitude. This is |
W1:122.8 | tranquility as ancient truths, forever newly born, arise in your | awareness. What you will remember then can never be described. Yet |
W1:122.13 | of shifting change and bleak appearances. Retain your gifts in clear | awareness as you see the changeless in the heart of change, the light |
W1:122.14 | gifts with this reminder, which has power to hold your gifts in your | awareness through the day: |
W1:124.4 | No meaningless anxieties can come between our faith and our | awareness of His Presence. We are one with Him today in recognition |
W1:124.7 | We join in this | awareness as we say that we are one with God. For in these words we |
W1:124.8 | Peace be to you today. Secure your peace by practicing | awareness you are one with your Creator, as He is with you. Sometime |
W1:126.6 | yourself. It has no power to restore your unity with him to your | awareness. It is not what God intended it to be for you. |
W1:128.3 | from you, and add another bar across the door that leads to true | awareness of your Self. |
W1:136.3 | Defenses are not unintentional nor are they made without | awareness. They are secret magic wands you wave when truth appears to |
W1:139.13 | chains that seem to keep the knowledge of yourself apart from your | awareness, as you say: |
W1:R4.4 | his Father shares. Lack of forgiveness blocks this thought from his | awareness. Yet it is forever true. |
W1:151.3 | think your fingers touch reality and close upon the truth. This is | awareness which you understand and think more real than what is |
W1:152.5 | feeling, alterations in conditions of the body and the mind, in all | awareness, and in all response. This is the all-inclusiveness which |
W1:152.8 | universe, and all you think you made will disappear. What rises to | awareness then will be all that there ever was, eternally as it is |
W1:152.14 | 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 meant to be. |
W1:157.1 | for it ushers in a new experience, a different kind of feeling and | awareness. You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death. |
W1:181.1 | his errors. Rather, they are magnified, becoming blocks to your | awareness of the Self that lies beyond your own mistakes and past his |
W1:184.14 | And though we use a different name for each | awareness of an aspect of God's Son, we understand that they have but |
W1:185.1 | in any place or time. Heaven would be completely given back to full | awareness, memory of God entirely restored, the resurrection of all |
W1:193.10 | over you. You see them rightly when you hold these words in full | awareness, and do not forget these words apply to everything you see |
W1:195.5 | not compare ourselves with them, for thus we split them off in our | awareness from the unity we share with them, as they must share with |
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 |
W2:323.1 | anxiety and doubt and freely let Your Love come streaming in to his | awareness, healing him of pain and giving him Your own eternal joy. |
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 |
W2:347.1 | it is healed. He gives the miracles my dreams would hide from my | awareness. Let Him judge today. I do not know my will, but He is sure |
W2:358.1 | forget Your Love and care, keeping Your promise to Your Son in my | awareness always. Let me not forget myself is nothing, but my Self is |
M:4.14 | —that harmfulness completely obliterates his function from his | awareness. It will make him confused, fearful, angry, and suspicious. |
M:12.6 | they have learned that all choices are made consciously, with full | awareness of their consequences. The dream says otherwise, but who |
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 |
M:26.3 | states must be illusory. If God were reached directly in sustained | awareness, the body would not be long maintained. Those who have laid |
M:27.3 | of God. His love is blotted out in the idea, which holds it from | awareness like a shield held to obscure the sun. The grimness of the |
M:28.1 | for oneself. It is the end of dreams of misery and the glad | awareness of the Holy Spirit's final dream. It is the recognition of |
awarenesses (1) | ||
W1:184.3 | of bodies kept apart and holding bits of mind as separate | awarenesses? You gave these names to them, establishing perception as |
away (312) | ||
Tx:1.17 | transcendence of the body. They are sudden shifts into invisibility, | away from a sense of lower-order reality. That is why they heal. |
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:4.46 | them as the same, the ego attempts to save itself from being swept | away, as it would surely be in the presence of knowledge. |
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:5.8 | Thoughts increase by being given | away. The more who believe in them, the stronger they become. |
Tx:5.21 | idea of darkness. His is the glory before which dissociation falls | away and the Kingdom of Heaven breaks through into its own. Before |
Tx:5.31 | the unlimited. Child of God, my message is for you to hear and give | away as you answer the Holy Spirit within you. |
Tx:5.33 | of which it is a part. Therefore, it is strengthened by being given | away. It increases in you as you give it to your brothers. Since |
Tx:5.40 | act, but a thought. Therefore, the idea of separation can be given | away, just as the idea of unity can. Either way, the idea will be |
Tx:5.44 | is misdirected. The misdirection is quite apparent; it is directed | away from you. |
Tx:5.53 | prevail against the Kingdom because it is united, and the ego fades | away and is undone in the presence of the attraction of the parts of |
Tx:5.55 | part in the Atonement is not complete until you join it and give it | away. As you teach, so shall you learn. I will never leave you or |
Tx:5.56 | When they have been sufficiently purified, He lets you give them | away. The will to share them is their purification. |
Tx:5.62 | possible to attack God. You believe that a part of Him has been torn | away by you. The classic picture of fear of retaliation from without |
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:7.19 | is true that if you put three apples on the table and then take them | away, the three apples are not there. But it is not true that the |
Tx:7.50 | not appreciate it; and it does not love it. It incorporates to take | away. It literally believes that every time it deprives someone of |
Tx:7.85 | idea that you can get rid of something you do not want by giving it | away. Giving it is how you keep it. The belief that by giving it out |
Tx:8.2 | desirable. If you did, you would hardly be willing to throw it | away so readily when the ego asks for your allegiance. The |
Tx:8.27 | Light does not attack darkness, but it does shine it | away. If my light goes with you everywhere, you shine it away with |
Tx:8.27 | shine it away. If my light goes with you everywhere, you shine it | away with me. The light becomes ours, and you cannot abide in |
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:19.105 | he accepted as his own, and toss it lightly and with happy laughter | away from him. Press it not like thorns against his brow, nor nail |
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 |
