| Tx:2.21 | imprisoned mind is not free by definition. It is possessed or held | back by itself. Its will is therefore limited and is not free to |
| Tx:2.23 | inherent abilities to deny and project with mine, and imposes them | back on himself and others. This establishes the total lack of threat |
| Tx:2.32 | state. It can thus be utilized to restore, rather than to go | back to the less mature. |
| Tx:2.38 | could not withstand the strength of the attack and had to be brought | back. Angels came, too, but their protection did not suffice because |
| Tx:3.79 | peace, even though your minds are in conflict. You have not yet gone | back far enough, and that is why you become so fearful. As you |
| Tx:4.1 | as far as he asks. It certainly does not suggest that you set him | back on his journey. Devotion to a brother cannot set you back |
| Tx:4.1 | set him back on his journey. Devotion to a brother cannot set you | back either. It can lead only to mutual progress. The result of |
| Tx:4.63 | this deception, and do not permit this shabby belief to pull you | back. The disheartened are useless to themselves and to me, but only |
| Tx:4.90 | things right. Because you are all the Kingdom of God, I can lead you | back to your own creations, which you do not yet know. What has been |
| Tx:4.105 | their own helpfulness and have thus set their own rehabilitation | back. Rehabilitation is not concerned either with the ego's fight for |
| Tx:5.12 | perceptions until they became so lofty that they could reach almost | back to Him. The Holy Spirit is the Mind of the Atonement. It |
| Tx:5.19 | is in you in a very literal sense. His is the Voice that calls you | back to where you were before and will be again. |
| Tx:5.29 | we increase its power to attract the whole Sonship and to bring it | back into the Oneness in which it was created. Remember that “yoke” |
| Tx:5.43 | looks, and understand as He understands. His understanding looks | back to God in remembrance of me. He is in Holy Communion always, and |
| Tx:5.54 | burden you have placed in your mind. By following Him, He leads you | back to God where you belong, and how can you find this way except by |
| Tx:5.70 | delusional. Your mind does create your future, and it can turn it | back to full creation at any minute if it accepts the Atonement |
| Tx:5.70 | at any minute if it accepts the Atonement first. It will also turn | back to full creation the instant it has done so. Having given up its |
| Tx:5.85 | Holy Spirit's irrevocable set. “Irrevocable” means “cannot be called | back or redirected.” The irrevocable nature of the Holy Spirit's set |
| Tx:5.89 | so high that it cannot be surmounted. You are always being pulled | back to your Creator, because you belong to Him. |
| Tx:6.44 | Only thus can you win | back the knowledge that you threw away. An idea which you share, you |
| Tx:6.66 | only what each one can give to all. He never takes anything | back, because He wants you to keep it. Therefore, His teaching begins |
| Tx:7.53 | This light will shine | back upon you and on the whole Sonship, because this is your proper |
| Tx:7.86 | minds, but they also believe their projections are trying to creep | back into them. That is because the projections have not left their |
| Tx:8.11 | you how to disregard or look beyond everything that would hold you | back. |
| Tx:8.39 | this confidence for both of us and all of us. I bring God's peace | back to all His Children, because I received it of Him for us all. |
| Tx:8.40 | Ours is simply the journey | back to God, Who is our home. Whenever fear intrudes anywhere along |
| Tx:8.41 | behind and reach beyond all attempts of the ego to hold you | back. I go before you, because I am beyond the ego. Reach therefore |
| Tx:8.42 | of the Sonship, whose wholeness is for all. We begin the journey | back by setting out together and gather in our brothers as we |
| Tx:9.43 | it. Its own range precludes this. You can only go beyond it, look | back from a point where sanity exists, and see the contrast. Only by |
| Tx:10.21 | for His function became yours with His gift. Invite this knowledge | back into your minds, and let nothing that will obscure it enter. The |
| Tx:10.33 | realized that you can only darken your own mind. As you bring him | back, so will your mind return. That is the law of God for the |
| Tx:11.42 | chose to “sell” had to be kept for you since you could not “buy” it | back. Yet you must invest in it, not with money but with your spirit. |
| Tx:11.84 | which is forever the only reality. The Atonement is but the way | back to what was never lost. Your Father could not cease to love His |
| Tx:12.22 | is the reference point beyond illusions from which you can look | back on them and see them as insane. But seek this place, and you |
| Tx:12.75 | In me you have already overcome every temptation that would hold you | back. We walk together on the way to quietness that is the gift of |
| Tx:13.61 | its gracious simplicity. With truth before you, you will not look | back. |
| Tx:15.104 | and your brothers from yourself. Through peace you invite them | back and realize that they are where your invitation bids them be. |
| Tx:16.67 | the mockery of salvation which the ego offered you and look not | back with longing on the travesty it made of your relationships. Now |
| Tx:17.3 | you take away from Him Who would release you. Unless you give it | back, it is inevitable that your perspective on reality be warped and |
| Tx:17.59 | and makes no sense until it has already happened. Then you look | back at it and try to piece together what it must have meant. And you |
| Tx:17.79 | that you have risen far beyond any situation that could hold you | back and keep you separate from Him Whose call you answered. |
| Tx:18.8 | with you your mad journey outside yourself, leading you gently | back to the truth and safety within. He brings all your insane |
| Tx:18.25 | seems to live in darkness, and when you are afraid, you have stepped | back. Let us then join quickly in an instant of light, and it will be |
| Tx:18.27 | is given forever, for God Himself received it. You cannot take it | back. You have accepted God. The holiness of your relationship is |
| Tx:18.30 | to darkness. The darkness in you has been brought to light. Carry it | back to darkness from the holy instant to which you brought it. We |
| Tx:18.31 | each other's way. And from this light will the Great Rays extend | back into darkness and forward unto God to shine away the past and so |
| Tx:18.85 | is the little part of you, you think you stole from Heaven. Give it | back to Heaven. Heaven has not lost it, but you have lost sight of |
| Tx:18.86 | it as true. For you sent forth these messengers to bring this | back to you. |
| Tx:18.90 | mountain tops which rise above it and has no power at all to hold | back anyone willing to climb above it and see the sun. It is not |
| Tx:18.91 | and forms appear and shift from loveliness to the grotesque. And | back and forth they go, as long as you would play the game of |
| Tx:19.42 | from each other seems mightier than the universe, for it would hold | back the universe and its Creator. This little wall would hide the |
| Tx:19.68 | He gave instead, without the limits which would hold its extension | back and so would limit your awareness of it. For what He gives must |
| Tx:20.3 | lighting his way to his redemption and release. Hold him not | back with thorns and nails when his redemption is so near. But let |
| Tx:20.20 | you who made it merciless, and now if mercilessness seems to look | back at you, it can be corrected. |
| Tx:20.53 | welcome what you really want. And from His holy temple, look you not | back on what you have awakened from. For no illusions can attract the |
| Tx:20.57 | given one true relationship beyond the body? Can they be long held | back from looking on the face of Christ? And can they long withhold |
| Tx:21.19 | is insane. You trained it in its testimony, and as it gave it | back to you, you listened and convinced yourself that what it saw was |
| Tx:21.40 | and belief and faith from mind to body. Let them now be given | back to what produced them and can use them still to save itself from |
| Tx:21.48 | of sin, follow in gladness the way to certainty. Be not held | back by fear's insane insistence that sureness lies in doubt. This |
| Tx:22.6 | must make no sense to you. To whom would vision such as this send | back its messages? Surely not you, whose sight is wholly independent |
| Tx:22.33 | at nothingness as if it were a solid wall see truly? It is held | back by form, having been made to guarantee that nothing else but |
| Tx:22.39 | hard, for you have chosen, although you still may think you can go | back and make the other choice. This is not so. A choice made with |
| Tx:24.1 | be yours because it is His Will. Can you believe a shadow can hold | back the Will that holds the universe secure? God does not wait upon |
| Tx:24.3 | is not to know love's purpose. Love offers everything forever. Hold | back but one belief, one offering, and love is gone because you asked |
| Tx:24.32 | the savior God gave to you that you might look on him and give him | back his birthright. It is yours. |
| Tx:25.52 | Let us go | back to what we said before and think of it more carefully. It must |
| Tx:26.9 | door be opened that he may come forth to shine on you and give you | back the gift of freedom by receiving it of you. What is the Holy |
| Tx:26.29 | This tiny spot of sin that stands between you still is holding | back the happy opening of Heaven's gate. How little is the hindrance |
| Tx:26.35 | judgment, and in all belief in sin, is that one instant still called | back, as if it could be made again in time. You keep an ancient |
| Tx:26.38 | up to you to see the past and put it in the present? You can not go | back. And everything that points the way in the direction of the past |
| Tx:26.40 | past that God remembers not and is not there? Now you are shifting | back and forth between the past and present. Sometimes the past seems |
| Tx:26.72 | in sin arouses fear and, like its cause, is looking forward, looking | back but overlooking what is here and now. Yet only here and now its |
| Tx:27.47 | on as a condemnation by the one who could have saved it but stepped | back because he was afraid of being healed? The eyes of all the dying |
| Tx:27.55 | but shift from name to name, as one steps forward and another | back. Yet which is foremost makes no difference. Sin's witnesses hear |
| Tx:28.11 | And they will join in doing nothing to prevent its radiant extension | back into the mind Which caused all minds to be. Born out of sharing, |
| Tx:28.24 | appearing as a cause. The miracle is the first step in giving | back to cause the function of causation, not effect. For this |
| Tx:28.27 | role in making up the dream. They are the glad effects of taking | back the consequence of sickness to its cause. The body is released |
| Tx:29.3 | turn again into an enemy. [Let him come close to you, and you jumped | back; as you approached, he instantly withdrew.] A cautious |
| Tx:29.9 | Him? What toys or trinkets in the gap could serve to hold you | back an instant from His love? Would you allow the body to say “no” |
| Tx:29.26 | The dreams you think you like would hold you | back as much as those in which the fear is seen. For every dream is |
| Tx:30.62 | Yet God need not create His Son again that what is his be given | back to him. The gap between your brother and yourself was never |
| Tx:30.63 | stand already at the edge of the real world. Perhaps they still look | back and think they see an idol that they want. Yet has their path |
| Tx:30.65 | from the world. And with it goes all hatred and all fear. Look | back no longer, for what lies ahead is all you ever wanted in your |
| Tx:30.66 | Do not look | back except in honesty. And when an idol tempts you, think of this: |
| Tx:30.68 | pay the cost as well as you. For he will be delayed when you look | back, and you will not perceive Whose loving hand you hold. Look |
| Tx:30.83 | made on different aspects of experience. And then in looking | back you think you see another meaning in what went before. What have |
| Tx:31.20 | let him be. We make no gains he does not make with us, and we fall | back if he does not advance. Take not his hand in anger but in love, |
| Tx:31.23 | progress if you think the same, advancing only when he would step | back and falling back when he would go ahead? For so do you forget |
| Tx:31.23 | think the same, advancing only when he would step back and falling | back when he would go ahead? For so do you forget the journey's goal, |
| Tx:31.25 | there is confusion and a sense of endless doubting as you stagger | back and forward in the darkness and alone. Yet these are but |
| W1:42.8 | is not appropriate for today's exercises. Try merely to step | back and let the thoughts come. If you find this difficult, it is |
| W1:45.4 | in favor of truth. We will not let the thoughts of the world hold us | back, and we will not let the beliefs of the world tell us that what |
| W1:57.6 | upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness and shines forgiveness | back at me. In this light, I begin to see what my illusions about |
| W1:70.15 | My salvation comes from me. Nothing outside of me can hold me | back. Within me is the world's salvation and my own. |
| W1:73.3 | is lost to you in this strange bartering, in which guilt is traded | back and forth and grievances increase with each exchange. Can such a |
| W1:75.13 | Should you be tempted, say to anyone who seems to pull you | back to darkness: |
| W1:92.8 | and flicker and go out. It does not shift from night to day and | back to darkness till the morning comes again. The light of strength |
| W1:95.9 | is not delayed in His teaching by your mistakes. He can be held | back only by your unwillingness to let them go. Let us therefore be |
| W1:97.10 | this gift which you received of Him, increase its power, and give it | back to you. |
| W1:98.10 | that you spend with Him, He will accept your words and give them | back to you all bright with faith and confidence so strong and steady |
| W1:100.10 | that you may look on Him? What little thought has power to hold you | back? What foolish goal can keep you from success when He Who calls |
| W1:R3.6 | come to your assistance. Give direction at the start, and then lean | back in quiet faith and let the mind employ the thoughts you gave as |
| W1:123.1 | pathways and to smoother roads. There is no thought of turning | back and no implacable resistance to the truth. A bit of wavering |
| W1:123.6 | since He receives your gifts in loving gratitude and gives them | back a thousand and a hundred thousand more than they were given. He |
| W1:128.4 | temptation to believe the world has anything you want to hold you | back. Nothing is here to cherish. Nothing here is worth one instant |
| W1:129.5 | space away from timelessness. Here can you but look forward, never | back to see again the world you do not want. Here is the world that |
| W1:131.5 | he is wrong, he finds correction; when he wanders off, he is led | back to his appointed task. |
| W1:132.7 | road to truth. He will return and go still farther, or perhaps step | back a while and then return again. |
| W1:133.1 | and far from what the student has already learned, to bring him | back to practical concerns. This we will do today. We will not speak |
| W1:151.13 | that comes to mind, remove the elements of dreams, and give them | back to you as clean ideas that do not contradict the Will of God. |
| W1:151.14 | Give Him your thoughts, and He will give them | back as miracles which joyously proclaim the wholeness and the |
| W1:155.2 | Yet when they find their own reality is even here, then they step | back and let it lead the way. What other choice is really theirs to |
| W1:155.6 | appears to cling to you that you may reach them. Yet it has stepped | back, and it is not illusion that they hear you speak of nor illusion |
| W1:155.7 | for defeat, and aims which will remain impossible. All this steps | back as truth comes forth in you to lead your brothers from the ways |
| W1:155.8 | holy Son of God. It is but from illusions he is saved. As they step | back, he finds himself again. |
| W1:155.10 | to keep the truth apart from God's completion, holy as Himself. Step | back in faith, and let truth lead the way. You know not where you go, |
| W1:155.15 | I will step | back and let Him lead the way, for I would walk along the road to Him. |
| W1:156.6 | This is the way salvation works. As you step | back, the Light in you steps forward and encompasses the world. It |
| W1:158.4 | For we but see the journey from the point at which it ended, looking | back on it, imagining we make it once again; reviewing mentally what |
| W1:159.8 | set their roots. This is their home. They can be brought from here | back to the world, but they can never grow in its unnourishing and |
| W1:159.9 | increase. His lilies do not leave their home when they are carried | back into the world. Their roots remain. They do not leave their |
| W1:164.6 | vision, given you from far beyond all things within the world, looks | back on them in a new light. And what you see becomes the healing and |
| W1:166.1 | He knows His Son. He gives without exception, holding nothing | back that can contribute to your happiness. And yet unless your will |
| W1:169.12 | and brought a clear reflection of the unity he felt an instant | back to bless the world? How could you finally attain to it forever |
| W1:169.13 | instant and accept the gifts that grace provided you. You carry them | back to yourself. And revelation stands not far behind. Its coming is |
| W1:R5.3 | sure remembering. We wander off, but You will not forget to call us | back. Quicken our footsteps now, that we may walk more certainly and |
| W1:R5.9 | and looks for me. I have forgotten no one. Help me now to lead you | back to where the journey was begun, to make another choice with me. |
| W1:173.2 | [155] I will step | back and let Him lead the way. God is but Love, and therefore so am I. |
| W1:182.7 | He whispers of His home unceasingly to you. For He would bring you | back with Him, that He Himself might stay and not return again where |
| W1:184.10 | things share; the one acknowledgment of what is true. And then step | back to darkness, not because you think it real, but only to proclaim |
| W1:185.1 | in any form, in any place or time. Heaven would be completely given | back to full awareness, memory of God entirely restored, the |
| W1:188.1 | Source. It shines in you because it lights your home and leads you | back to where it came from and you are at home. |
| W1:188.7 | were born within your mind as yours was born in God's. They lead you | back to peace from where they came but to remind you how you must |
| W1:188.8 | in us today. We take our wandering thoughts and gently bring them | back to where they fall in line with all the thoughts we share with |
| W1:188.8 | them, ordering that they depart from us. But now we call them | back and wash them clean of strange desires and disordered wishes. We |
| W1:192.10 | here on earth is only to forgive him, that you may accept him | back as your Identity. He is as God created him. And you are what he |
| W1:193.2 | can correct his erring sight and give him vision that will lead him | back to where perception ceases. God does not perceive at all. Yet it |
| W1:196.8 | without. And God, Whom you had thought to banish, can be welcomed | back within the holy mind He never left. |
| W1:196.11 | yourself His Son. Pray that the instant may be soon—today. Step | back from fear and make advance to love. |
| W1:197.3 | released from hell forever. Is it this you would undo by taking | back your gifts because they were not honored? It is you who honor |
| W1:197.4 | acknowledged by the Heart of God Himself. And would you take them | back when He has gratefully accepted them? |
| W2:233.1 | wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I come to You. I will step | back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide and I the follower who |
| W2:248.1 | and lies about the holy Son of God. Now am I ready to accept him | back as God created him, and as he is. |
| W2:WIS.5 | no sin. Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold return to Heaven | back? How long, oh holy Son of God, how long? |
| W2:254.2 | our words or actions. When such thoughts occur, we quietly step | back and look at them, and then we let them go. We do not want what |
| W2:265.1 | the world because I laid my “sins” on it and saw them looking | back at me. How fierce they seemed! And how deceived was I to think |
| W2:266.1 | Voice to me. In them are You reflected, and in them does Christ look | back upon me from my Self. Let not Your Son forget Your holy Name. |
| W2:WICR.4 | seem to be discrete and unaware of our eternal unity with Him. Yet | back of all our doubts, past all our fears, there still is certainty. |
| W2:324.1 | off a while and then return. Your loving Voice will always call me | back and guide my feet aright. My brothers all can follow in the way |
| W2:341.1 | love and tenderness so deep and dear and still the universe smiles | back on You and shares Your holiness. How pure, how safe, how sacred |
| W2:345.1 | can be recognized and seen to work. The miracles I give are given | back in just the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive. |
| W2:FL.3 | to recognize as part of God Himself. And thus His memory is given | back completely and complete. |
| M:13.4 | Does one whose vision has already glimpsed the face of Christ look | back with longing on a slaughter house? No one who has escaped the |
| M:13.4 | house? No one who has escaped the world and all its ills looks | back on it with condemnation. Yet he must rejoice that he is free of |
| M:19.3 | eyes, distorts perception and brings witness of the distorted world | back to the mind that made the lens and holds it very dear. |
| M:21.4 | process is merely a special case of the workbook lesson “I will step | back and let Him lead the way.” The teacher of God accepts the words |
| M:22.5 | not correct mistakes, and distorted perception does not heal. Step | back now, teacher of God. You have been wrong. Lead not the way, for |

| Tx:18.88 | body sees and seems to be the whole foundation on which the world is | based. Here are all the illusions, all the twisted thoughts, all the |
| Tx:19.17 | it possible, would be irreversible. The belief in sin is necessarily | based on the firm conviction that minds, not bodies, can attack. And |
| Tx:20.46 | experience of both a holy and an unholy relationship. The first is | based on love and rests on it, serene and undisturbed. The body does |
| Tx:20.46 | not intrude upon it. Any relationship in which the body enters is | based not on love, but on idolatry. Love wishes to be known, |
| Tx:22.2 | all this would be real if sin were so. For an unholy relationship is | based on differences, where each one thinks the other has what he has |
| Tx:24.2 | to dictate each decision you make. For a decision is a conclusion | based on everything that you believe. It is the outcome of belief and |

| Tx:18.6 | first projection of error outward. The world arose to hide it and | became the screen on which it was projected and drawn between you and |
| Tx:18.12 | but an echo of the original error which shattered Heaven. And what | became of peace in those who heard? Return with me to Heaven, walking |
| Tx:19.56 | the state of grace, which means you have at last forgiven me. For I | became the symbol of your sin, and so I had to die instead of you. To |
| Tx:22.7 | else, this “something else” which you have made to be yourself | became your sight. Yet it must be the “something else” which sees, |
| Tx:25.48 | made. His special sin was made his special grace. His special hate | became his special love. |
| Tx:26.57 | what you have is what you are. This is the miracle by which creation | became your function, sharing it with God. It is not understood apart |
| Tx:29.3 | friendship, limited in scope and carefully restricted in amount, | became the treaty you had made with him. You shared a qualified |

| W2:WS.2 | of healing. So the thought which has the power to heal the split | became a part of every fragment of the mind that still was one but |
| W2:329.1 | so am I one with You. And this I chose in my creation, where my will | became forever one with Yours. That choice was made for all eternity. |

| Tx:1.26 | When you have | become willing to hide nothing, you will not only be willing to enter |
| Tx:1.31 | restored to the recognition of your original state, you naturally | become part of the Atonement yourself. As you share my inability to |

| Tx:2.6 | If you consider carefully what this entails, the following will | become quite apparent: |
| Tx:2.39 | direct the creative forces to learning because changed behavior had | become mandatory. |
| Tx:2.40 | Men can learn to improve their behavior and can also learn to | become better and better learners. This serves to bring them into |

| Tx:2.81 | it wills, thus producing inevitable strain because willing and doing | become discordant. This cannot be corrected by better doing, but it |
| Tx:2.107 | shortening but not abolishing time. If a sufficient number of people | become truly miracle-minded quickly, the shortening process can be |
| Tx:3.1 | You will also need them for preparation. Without this, you may | become much too fearful when the unexpected does occur to make |
| Tx:3.53 | your own creation and what you create is so profound that it has | become literally impossible for you to know anything. Knowledge is |
| Tx:3.79 | conflict. You have not yet gone back far enough, and that is why you | become so fearful. As you approach the beginning, you feel the fear |
| Tx:4.17 | experienced it, you will withdraw all protection from the ego and | become totally without the investment in fear. Your investment is |
| Tx:4.29 | willed to cooperate in a concerted and very commendable effort to | become both harmless and helpful, two attributes which must go |
| Tx:4.76 | was, “What for?” He could not ask this because it would immediately | become apparent that there was no sense in his efforts even if he |

| Tx:5.5 | is an act of thought by which two minds perceive their oneness and | become glad. This gladness calls to every part of the Sonship to |
| Tx:5.8 | by being given away. The more who believe in them, the stronger they | become. Everything is an idea. How, then, is it possible that giving |
| Tx:5.30 | I could come to provide the model for how to think. Psychology has | become the study of behavior, but no one denies the basic law that |
| Tx:5.34 | just as you have. The dissociation is healed in both of you as you | become aware of the Call for God in him and thus acknowledge its |
| Tx:5.51 | You have | become willing to receive my messages as I give them without |
| Tx:5.59 | Perhaps some of our concepts will | become clearer and more personally meaningful if the ego's use of |
| Tx:5.94 | love to some Soul which God created. Perceiving this as “sin,” you | become defensive because you expect attack. The decision to react in |
| Tx:6.10 | that what you believe you will teach. Believe with me, and we will | become equal as teachers. Your resurrection is your reawakening. I am |
| Tx:6.52 | as true as He is, but what was once quite certain in your minds has | become only the ability for certainty. The introduction of abilities |
| Tx:6.63 | miracles. This is familiar enough to you by now, but it has not yet | become believable. Therefore, you do not understand it and cannot use |
| Tx:7.2 | to add to the Creator of the Kingdom. You claim this power when you | become vigilant only for God and His Kingdom. By accepting this power |
| Tx:7.23 | are applied long enough to one goal, the abilities themselves | become unified. This is because they are channelized in one direction |
| Tx:7.61 | it which have engendered a state of war, and vigilance therefore has | become essential. Vigilance has no place at all in peace. It is |
| Tx:7.110 | Sonship and given thanks to God. Everyone who learns this lesson has | become the perfect teacher, because he has learned it of the Holy |
| Tx:8.60 | which he cannot learn. His sense of adequacy suffers, and he must | become depressed. Being faced with an impossible learning situation, |
| Tx:8.61 | to Him replaces devotion to the ego. In this sense, the body does | become a temple to God, because His Voice abides in it by directing |
| Tx:8.76 | you handle them results in nothing. The more complicated the results | become, the harder it may be to recognize their nothingness, but it |
| Tx:8.98 | that God has left him, but he does not care. He will, however, | become very fearful and hence very angry if anyone suggests that God |
| Tx:9.31 | How can you | become increasingly aware of the Holy Spirit in you except by His |
| Tx:9.35 | of what you have given them will teach you its value. They will | become the witnesses to your reality, as you were created witnesses |
| Tx:9.42 | The ego will begin to attack your motives as soon as they | become clearly out of accord with its perception of you. This is when |
| Tx:9.48 | is 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:9.79 | for you do not value yourselves. When you do not value yourself, you | become sick, but my value of you can heal you because the value of |
| Tx:9.87 | To be out of control is to be out of reason, and the mind does | become unreasonable without reason. This is merely a matter of |
| Tx:9.107 | must learn to look only on the eternal. If you allow yourselves to | become preoccupied with the temporal, you are living in time. As |
| Tx:10.17 | and the more you practice it, the better teacher and learner you | become. If you have denied truth, what better witnesses to its |
| Tx:10.49 | you are believing that attack has power. Very simply, then, you have | become afraid of yourself. And no one wills to learn what he believes |
| Tx:10.61 | I am leading you to a new kind of experience, which you will | become less and less willing to deny. Learning of Christ is easy, for |
| Tx:10.75 | good and the bad, the false and the true. For as Heaven and earth | become one, even the real world will vanish from your sight. The end |
| Tx:10.75 | the transfer of all perception to knowledge. The Bible tells you to | become as little children. Little children recognize that they do not |
| Tx:10.85 | without your help, the Help of God goes with you everywhere. As you | become willing to accept this Help by asking for it, you will give it |
| Tx:11.5 | a personal investment is a reliable witness, for truth to him has | become what he wants it to be. If you are unwilling to perceive an |
| Tx:11.26 | Whenever you | become angry with a brother, for whatever reason, you are believing |
| Tx:11.51 | conditions, which you can neither provide nor understand, you will | become excellent learners and teachers. But it is not so yet and will |
| Tx:11.59 | His Father, perception fuses into knowledge because perception has | become so holy that its transfer to holiness is merely its natural |
| Tx:11.59 | When this has been accomplished, perception and knowledge have | become so similar that they share the unification of the laws of God. |
| Tx:11.64 | for it. For you can be aware of what you cannot see, and it can | become compellingly real to you as its presence becomes manifest |
| Tx:11.72 | you sought. That is because you do not yet want only that. Yet as I | become more real to you, you will learn that you do want only that. |
| Tx:11.84 | upon it, you will remember that it was always so. Nothingness will | become invisible, for you will at last have seen truly. Redeemed |
| Tx:12.6 | but if you will consider your reactions to it, you will | become increasingly convinced that this is so. |
| Tx:12.56 | and willingness is signified by giving. Those who accept love of you | become your willing witnesses to the love you gave them, and it is |
| Tx:12.71 | comes to you of Him comes safely, for He will ensure it never can | become a dark spot, hidden in your mind and kept to hurt you. Under |
| Tx:12.71 | not a traveler through outer worlds. However holy his perception may | become, no world outside himself holds his inheritance. Within |
| Tx:13.14 | Therefore, you cannot value one without the other, and guilt has | become as true for you as innocence. You do not believe the Son of |
| Tx:13.16 | to condemn the Son of God in part. Those whom you see as guilty | become the witnesses to guilt in you, and you will see it there, for |
| Tx:13.35 | Forgetfulness and sleep and even death | become the ego's best advice for how to deal with the perceived and |
| Tx:13.53 | He must introduce the simple truth into a thought system which has | become so twisted and so complex that you cannot see that it means |
| Tx:13.59 | with them. Because you taught them gladness and release, they will | become your teachers in release and gladness. |
| Tx:13.92 | When you have learned how to decide with God, all decisions | become as easy and as right as breathing. There is no effort, and you |
| Tx:14.7 | To accuse is not to understand. The happy learners of the Atonement | become the teachers of the innocence that is the right of all that |
| Tx:14.27 | that if they were brought together their joint acceptance would | become impossible. But if one is kept in darkness from the other, |
| Tx:14.42 | In this world you can | become a spotless mirror in which the Holiness of your Creator shines |
| Tx:14.72 | Those who remember always that they know nothing, but who have | become willing to learn everything, will learn it. But whenever they |

| Tx:15.68 | —that the more anger you invest outside yourself, the safer you | become. |
| Tx:15.69 | to Him. What He can make of them, you do not know, but you will | become willing to find out if you are willing, first, to perceive |
| Tx:15.82 | For all its parts are joined in God through Christ, where they | become like to their Father. For Christ knows of no separation from |
| Tx:15.85 | needful for you to learn just what this shift entails, so you will | become willing to make it permanent. Given this willingness, it will |
| Tx:15.98 | of love, which must be paid by fear. How fearful, then, has God | become to you, and how great a sacrifice do you believe His love |
| Tx:15.101 | yourself from where it is not. Your brothers and your Father have | become very fearful to you. And you would bargain with them for a few |
| Tx:16.53 | power to what you think you have attacked? So fearful has the truth | become to you that unless it is weak and little, [and unworthy of |
| Tx:16.58 | How simple does this choice | become when it is perceived as only what it is. For only fantasies |
| Tx:16.62 | separate bodies seeking to join each other in separate unions and to | become one by losing. When two individuals seek to become one, they |
| Tx:16.62 | unions and to become one by losing. When two individuals seek to | become one, they are trying to decrease their magnitude. Each would |
| Tx:16.68 | the bridge. Yet as you cross to join it, it will join with you and | become one with you. And you will think in glad astonishment that for |
| Tx:17.1 | Only in waking is the full release from them, for only then does it | become perfectly apparent that they had no effect on reality at all |
| Tx:17.6 | He will accomplish it; not you. But forget not this: When you | become disturbed and lose your peace of mind because another is |
| Tx:17.12 | knows that he has always rested there in peace. Even salvation will | become a dream and vanish from his mind. For salvation is the end of |
| Tx:17.16 | to go by the name of love. And finally why all such relationships | become the attempt at union through the body, for only bodies can be |
| Tx:17.21 | you can see it more and more. For you will want it more and more and | become increasingly unwilling to let it be hidden from you. And you |
| Tx:17.47 | inevitably appalled. Their perception of the relationship may even | become quite disorganized. And yet, the former organization of their |
| Tx:18.4 | of illusion for truth, of fragmentation for wholeness. It has | become so splintered and subdivided and divided again, over and over, |
| Tx:18.16 | not expect it to be gone. In dreams you arrange everything. People | become what you would have them be, and what they do you order. No |
| Tx:18.20 | misery. As its unholiness kept it a thing apart, its holiness will | become an offering to everyone. |
| Tx:18.22 | is unreal. The wish to make it is incredible. Your relationship has | become one in which the wish has been removed because its purpose has |
| Tx:18.40 | the holy instant is difficult for you, it is because you have | become the arbiter of what is possible and remain unwilling to give |
| Tx:18.45 | useful to the Holy Spirit, Who has a special function here. It will | become the happy dream through which He can spread joy to thousands |
| Tx:18.59 | encompass it. It becomes part of you as you unite with it. And both | become whole as neither is perceived as separate. What really happens |
| Tx:19.9 | has hurt your mind and how confused your own identification has | become because of it! You do not see how great [is] the devastation |
| Tx:19.25 | not error. Sin will be repeated because of this attraction. Fear can | become so acute that the sin is denied the acting out, but while the |
| Tx:19.43 | thrust salvation away from the giver of salvation? For such have you | become. Peace could no more depart from you than from God. Fear not |
| Tx:19.71 | which is the invitation to pain. For it invites fear to enter and | become your purpose. The attraction of guilt must enter with it, and |
| Tx:20.11 | knowing his savior stands beside him? With him, your vision has | become the greatest power for the undoing of illusion that God |
| Tx:20.26 | and on ourselves. Here all thoughts of any separation between us | become impossible. You who were prisoners in separation are now made |
| Tx:21.6 | The blind | become accustomed to their world by their adjustments to it. They |
| Tx:21.35 | Faith and belief | become attached to vision, as all the means that once served sin are |
| Tx:22.10 | they with him. And the strange, shifting ones he sees about him will | become to him his comforters, and he will recognize his home and see |
| Tx:22.37 | other and is attracted to him to perpetuate his sins. And so it must | become impossible for each to see himself as causing sin by his |
| Tx:22.40 | holy place He will return with you, not leaving it nor you. You will | become His messengers, returning Him unto Himself. |
| Tx:22.42 | Into your joined hands is it safely given, for you who share it have | become its willing guardians and protectors. |
| Tx:22.56 | And no illusion can disturb the peace of a relationship which has | become the means of peace. |
| Tx:22.62 | from its Creator]. And thus it seems as if love could attack and | become fearful. |
| Tx:23.2 | You will believe that everything you use for sin can hurt you and | become your enemy. And you will fight against it and try to weaken it |
| Tx:23.18 | disappears. So is the memory of God obscured in minds that have | become illusion's battleground. Yet far beyond this senseless war it |
| Tx:23.25 | becomes impossible to turn to Him for help in misery. For now He has | become the “enemy” Who caused it and to Whom appeal is useless. Nor |
| Tx:23.25 | God. And now salvation must remain impossible because the savior has | become the enemy. |
| Tx:23.44 | recognize assault upon your peace in any form, if only thus does it | become impossible that you lose sight of it? It can be kept shining |
| Tx:24.4 | reached, and meaningless decisions have been made and kept hidden to | become beliefs, now given power to direct all subsequent decisions. |
| Tx:24.6 | “above” it, sinless by comparison with it. And thus does specialness | become a means and end at once. For specialness not only sets apart |
| Tx:24.7 | Illusions can attack it, and they do. For what your brother must | become to keep your specialness is an illusion. He who is “worse” |
| Tx:24.71 | my own beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.” Thus does the “son” | become the means to serve his “father's” purpose. Not identical, not |
| Tx:25.44 | Eyes | become used to darkness, and the light of brilliant day seems painful |
| Tx:25.48 | but changed in form to let it serve his brother and himself and thus | become a means to save instead of lose. Salvation is no more than a |
| Tx:25.86 | The little problems that you keep and hide | become your secret sins because you did not choose to let them be |
| Tx:26.5 | your special function has this world no meaning for you. Yet it can | become a treasure house as rich and limitless as Heaven itself. No |
| Tx:26.29 | Where sin once was perceived will rise a world which will | become an altar to the truth, and you will join the lights of Heaven |
| Tx:26.70 | wipe out the space you see between you still and let you instantly | become as one. And it is here you fear the loss would lie. Do not |
| Tx:26.79 | and sparkling in the summer sun. What was a place of death has now | become a living temple in a world of light. Because of Them. It is |
| Tx:26.82 | The holiest of all the spots on earth is where an ancient hatred has | become a present love. And They come quickly to the living temple, |
| Tx:27.11 | can come and perfect healing take the place of death. The body can | become a sign of life, a promise of redemption, and a breath of |
| Tx:27.23 | to punish sins you think are yours in someone else. And thus does he | become your victim, not your brother, different from you in that he |
| Tx:27.25 | half the error, which you think is all of it. Your brother's sins | become the central target for correction, lest your errors and his |
| Tx:27.72 | you dream. Yet underneath this dream is yet another in which you | become the murderer, the secret enemy, the scavenger and the |
| Tx:27.82 | of God remembered not to laugh. In his forgetting did the thought | become a serious idea and possible of both accomplishment and real |
| Tx:28.37 | you will suffer pain with him because that is your wish. And you | become a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you both |
| Tx:28.37 | become a figure in his dream of pain, as he in yours. So do you both | become illusions and without identity. You could be anyone or |
| Tx:28.41 | as well as his. You cannot do his part, but this you do when you | become a passive figure in his dream instead of dreamer of your own. |
| Tx:29.15 | to those who are confused is meaningless, and shift and change | become the law on which they predicate their lives. |
| Tx:29.28 | has failed to fill the function you allotted him? And does not this | become the “reason” your attack is justified? The dreams you think |
| Tx:29.29 | How happy would your dreams | become if you were not the one who gave the “proper” role to every |
| Tx:29.70 | attacked yourself. So do your childish terrors melt away and dreams | become a sign that you have made a new beginning, not another try to |
| Tx:30.2 | form which sees you through the rest. It is not wise to let yourself | become preoccupied with every step you take. The proper set, adopted |
| Tx:30.9 | directed without fear, for opposition will not first arise and then | become a problem in itself. |
| Tx:30.70 | by responding in a way which is not justified, your pardon will | become the answer to attack that has been made. And thus is pardon |
| Tx:30.81 | to make an idol of the Son of God you will not pardon. For he has | become to you a graven image and a sign of death. Is this your |
| Tx:30.86 | perception shift and meaning change. In one united goal does this | become impossible, for your agreement makes interpretation stabilize |
| Tx:31.1 | exactly how to tell one from the other and just what to do if you | become confused. Why then do you persist in learning not such simple |
| Tx:31.26 | outcomes, there is first one thing that must be overlearned. It must | become a habit of response so typical of everything you do that it |
| Tx:31.29 | would abide in it. It sickens at the bidding of the mind that would | become its prisoner. And it grows old and dies because that mind is |
| Tx:31.48 | your brother is condemned eternally. For what you are has now | become his sin. For this is no forgiveness possible. No longer does |
| W1:1.5 | to apply it to everything you see, for these exercises should not | become ritualistic. Only be sure that nothing you see is specifically |
| W1:4.5 | or so. You are too inexperienced as yet to avoid a tendency to | become pointlessly preoccupied. Further, since these exercises are |
| W1:10.1 | This idea applies to all the thoughts of which you are aware or | become aware in the practice periods. The reason the idea is |
| W1:12.2 | fairly constant time interval. Do not allow the time of the shift to | become markedly longer or shorter, but try, instead, to keep a |
| W1:21.2 | The degree of the emotion you experience does not matter. You will | become increasingly aware that a slight twinge of annoyance is |
| W1:25.1 | that is what it means. It is in recognizing this that your goals | become unified. It is in recognizing this that what you see is given |
| W1:27.2 | asked of you when you say you want to see above all else. If you | become uneasy about the lack of reservation involved, add: |
| W1:30.5 | To aid in helping you to | become more accustomed to this idea as well, devote several practice |
| W1:33.3 | be made immediately when any situation arises which tempts you to | become disturbed. For these applications, say: |
| W1:39.10 | Sustained concentration is very difficult at first. It will | become much easier as your mind becomes more disciplined and less |
| W1:43.1 | forever in your minds. With this link with God, perception will | become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge. That |
| W1:43.2 | purpose. Made by the Son of God for an unholy purpose, it must | become the means for the restoration of his holiness to his |
| W1:43.11 | again. Do not allow any protracted period to occur in which you | become preoccupied with irrelevant thoughts. Return to the first |
| W1:46.13 | are needed. They will be needed at any time during the day when you | become aware of any kind of negative reaction to anyone, present or |
| W1:65.8 | After a while, interfering thoughts will | become harder to find. Try, however, to continue a minute or so |
| W1:66.3 | will not engage in ceaseless arguments about what it is. We will not | become hopelessly involved in defining happiness and determining the |
| W1:68.2 | Him. It makes you believe that He is like what you think you have | become, for no one can conceive of his Creator as unlike himself. |
| W1:68.3 | holds grievances denies he was created by Love, and his Creator has | become fearful to him in his dream of hate. Who can dream of hatred |
| W1:68.6 | hold against those you like and even think you love. It will quickly | become apparent that there is no one against whom you do not cherish |
| W1:71.9 | will work, and other plans will not. Do not allow yourself to | become depressed or angry at the second part; it is inherent in the |
| W1:72.11 | Our goal in the longer practice periods today is to | become aware that God's plan for salvation has already been |
| W1:73.2 | that seem to attack you and call for “righteous” judgment. They | become the middlemen the ego employs to traffic in grievances and |
| W1:82.2 | finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the means by which I | become aware of the light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the |
| W1:87.5 | but God's. I am safe today because there is no will but God's. I can | become afraid only when I believe that there is another will. I try |
| W1:91.3 | do not see is there sounds like insanity. It is very difficult to | become convinced that it is insanity not to see what is there and to |
| W1:91.12 | Try to remove your faith from it, if only for a moment. You will | become accustomed to keeping faith with the more worthy in you as we |
| W1:93.15 | of fear by repeating these thoughts again. Should you be tempted to | become angry with someone, tell him silently: |
| W1:101.4 | vicious wishes in which sin is born. If sin is real, salvation has | become your bitter enemy, the curse of God upon you who have |
| W1:103.2 | and no opposite. Fear is associated then with love, and its results | become the heritage of minds that think what they have made is real. |
| W1:105.3 | to reverse your view of giving, so you can receive. For giving has | become a source of fear, and so you would avoid the only means by |
| W1:106.7 | of all miracles has need that you receive them first and thus | become the joyous giver of what you received. Thus does salvation |
| W1:108.2 | the light the body's eyes behold. It is a state of mind which has | become so unified that darkness cannot be perceived at all. And thus |
| W1:121.7 | to you imploringly for Heaven here and now. It has no hope, but you | become its hope. And as its hope, do you become your own. The |
| W1:121.7 | It has no hope, but you become its hope. And as its hope, do you | become your own. The unforgiving mind must learn through your |
| W1:123.5 | loving may the message be. Thanks be to you who heard, for you | become the messenger who brings His Voice with you and let it echo |
| W1:135.21 | Without defenses, you | become a light which Heaven gratefully acknowledges to be its own. |
| W1:136.7 | the whole and seen as separate and as wholes within themselves, they | become symbols standing for attack upon the whole, successful in |
| W1:136.20 | before. You need do nothing now to make it well, for sickness has | become impossible. |
| W1:137.11 | Those who are healed | become the instruments of healing. Nor does time elapse between the |
| W1:138.3 | what appears as opposites. Decision lets one of conflicting goals | become the aim of effort and expenditure of time. Without decision, |
| W1:153.3 | can be hoped for nor obtained. Attack, defense; defense, attack, | become the circles of the hours and the days that bind the mind in |
| W1:154.3 | It is through His ability to hear One Voice Which is His own that you | become aware at last there is One Voice in you. And that One Voice |
| W1:154.6 | And it is only as they can accept them for themselves that they | become able to bring them further and to give them everywhere that |
| W1:154.6 | messengers, they did not write the messages they bear, but they | become their first receivers in the truest sense, receiving to |
| W1:154.8 | Would you receive the messages of God? For thus do you | become His messengers. You are appointed now. And yet you wait to |
| W1:157.7 | As this experience increases and all goals but this | become of little worth, the world to which you will return becomes a |

| W1:188.6 | thoughts, untainted by the dream of worldly things outside yourself, | become the holy messengers of God Himself. These thoughts you think |
| W1:192.8 | he spends his time in keeping watch on him. The bars which limit him | become the world in which the jailer lives, along with him. And it is |
| W1:197.2 | what their thoughts can do. Deny your strength, and weakness must | become salvation to you. See yourself as bound, and bars become your |
| W1:197.2 | must become salvation to you. See yourself as bound, and bars | become your home. Nor will you leave the prison house or claim your |

| W2:WIW.2 | thoughts. But eyes deceive, and ears hear falsely. Now mistakes | become quite possible, for certainty has gone. |
| W2:WIW.4 | sight was made to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. Sounds | become the call of God. And all perception can be given a new purpose |

| W2:276.1 | Word of God? “My Son is pure and holy as Myself.” And thus did God | become the Father of the Son He loves, for thus was he created. This |
| W2:318.2 | Atonement for myself. For thus does what is thereby reconciled in me | become as surely reconciled to You. |
| W2:WIE.2 | in separation from the Infinite. In its insanity it thinks it has | become a victor over God Himself, and in its terrible autonomy, it |
| W2:356.1 | he is, what seems to be his problem, nor what he believes he has | become. He is Your Son, and You will answer him. The miracle reflects |
| M:I.5 | not perfect or they would not be here. Yet it is their mission to | become perfect here, and so they teach perfection over and over in |
| M:1.1 | an agreement with God even if he does not yet believe in Him. He has | become a bringer of salvation. He has become a teacher of God. |
| M:1.1 | not yet believe in Him. He has become a bringer of salvation. He has | become a teacher of God. |
| M:1.3 | does not matter who the teacher was before he heard the Call. He has | become a savior by his answering. He has seen someone else as |
| M:3.2 | not scold the child for bumping into him; perhaps the students will | become friends. Even at the level of the most casual encounter, it is |
| M:3.4 | someday meet again, for it is the destiny of all relationships to | become holy. God is not mistaken in His Son. |
| M:3.5 | and can be learned. And if they decide to learn that lesson, they | become the saviors of the teachers who falter and may even seem to |
| M:4.1 | relationship toward which the teaching-learning situation is geared, | become characteristic of all teachers of God who have advanced in |
| M:4.17 | Who created them. And does what God created need defense? No one can | become an advanced teacher of God until he fully understands that |
| M:5.8 | mind he has no function except to rejoice with them, for they have | become teachers of God with him. He has, however, a more specific |
| M:7.2 | is not love but fear and therefore hate. His position has thus | become untenable, for he is offering hate to one to whom he offered |
| M:7.6 | Conflict about what you are has entered your mind, and you have | become deceived about yourself. And you are deceived about yourself, |
| M:10.2 | or better, he has an illusion of giving up. He has actually merely | become more honest. Recognizing that judgment was always impossible |
| M:12.2 | Thus does the son of man | become the Son of God. It is not really a change; it is a change of |
| M:12.4 | purpose of the body. As they advance in their profession, they | become more and more certain that the body's function is but to let |
| M:12.5 | lesson is always this—that what you use the body for, it will | become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as |
| M:16.2 | in his own way. Routines as such are dangerous because they easily | become gods in their own right, threatening the very goals for which |
| M:18.3 | its ears alone are thought to hear. Its little space and tiny breath | become the measure of reality. And truth becomes diminutive and |
| M:22.3 | salvation is impossible. What then is left to heal? The body has | become lord of the mind. How could the mind be returned to the Holy |
| M:23.2 | so. Temptation may recur to others, but never to this one. He has | become the risen Son of God. He has overcome death, because he has |
| M:23.2 | limit on his power, because it is the Power of God. So has his name | become the name of God, for he no longer sees himself as separate |
| M:23.5 | complete and flawless that he sees in it an image of his Father. You | become the symbol of his Father here on earth. To you he looks for |
| M:23.6 | would we teach the limitations we have laid on us. No one who has | become a true and dedicated teacher of God forgets his brothers. Yet |
| M:24.4 | finally accomplished, issues such as the validity of reincarnation | become meaningless. Until then they are likely to be merely |
| M:27.2 | not of love, because he has denied that life is real. Death has | become life's symbol. His world is now a battleground where |

| Tx:3.58 | no judgments and there is nothing but perfect equality? Perception | becomes impossible. Truth can only be known. All of it is equally |
| Tx:4.6 | the idea to others to be their own. The idea does not lessen; it | becomes stronger. |
| Tx:4.32 | This means that equality is beyond its grasp and charity | becomes impossible. The ego never gives out of abundance, because it |

| Tx:8.55 | this, you cannot use it for attack. In the service of uniting, it | becomes a beautiful lesson in communion, which has value until |
| Tx:8.56 | you will see the use to which you have put yours. If the body | becomes for you a means which you give to the Holy Spirit to use on |
| Tx:8.61 | Guided by the ego, it is. Guided by the Holy Spirit, it is not. It | becomes only a means by which the part of the mind you have separated |
| Tx:8.61 | beyond its distortions and return to the Soul. The ego's temple thus | becomes the temple of the Holy Spirit, where devotion to Him replaces |
| Tx:8.65 | If the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the body | becomes whole, because the mind's purpose is one. Attack can only be |
| Tx:8.86 | its results. Thus, “hellfire” means “burning,” but raising the dead | becomes allegorical. Actually, it is particularly the references to |
| Tx:9.5 | over to the Holy Spirit, you must do this with his. Unless this | becomes the one way in which you handle all errors, you cannot |
| Tx:9.33 | them, you call upon in yourself. And as you call upon it in them, it | becomes real to you. God has but one Son, knowing them all as one. |
| Tx:9.48 | the presence of the grandeur of God the meaninglessness of the ego | becomes perfectly apparent. Though it does not understand this, the |
| Tx:9.90 | When you have experienced the protection of God, the making of idols | becomes inconceivable. There are no strange images in the Mind of |
| Tx:10.3 | you approach the center of His thought system, the clearer the light | becomes. The closer you come to [the foundation of] the ego's thought |
| Tx:10.3 | foundation of] the ego's thought system, the darker and more obscure | becomes the way. Yet even the little spark in your mind is enough to |

| Tx:10.20 | little spark becomes a blazing light that fills your mind so that He | becomes your only Guest. Whenever you ask the ego to enter, you |
| Tx:10.43 | fear, for it cannot have any effects if its source is not true. Fear | becomes more obviously inappropriate if one recognizes the ego's |
| Tx:10.51 | have pursued quite diligently, has [only] brought you fear, and it | becomes difficult to maintain that fear is happiness. |
| Tx:10.55 | perceptions which it unifies on behalf of itself. This, then, | becomes the universe it perceives. And it is this universe which, in |
| Tx:10.55 | the universe it perceives. And it is this universe which, in turn, | becomes its demonstration of its own reality. |
| Tx:10.58 | Every brother you meet | becomes a witness for Christ or for the ego, depending on what you |
| Tx:11.1 | but to stimuli as you interpret them. Your interpretation thus | becomes the justification for the response. That is why analyzing the |
| Tx:11.12 | what fear conceals to clear-cut, unequivocal predominance, fear | becomes meaningless. You have denied its power to conceal love, which |
| Tx:11.14 | they could not be sick. The task of the miracle-worker thus | becomes to deny the denial of truth. The sick must heal themselves, |
| Tx:11.47 | provided by a Teacher Who can transcend your limited resources. He | becomes your resource because, of yourself, you cannot learn. The |
| Tx:11.59 | of your training under the Holy Spirit's guidance increases and | becomes generalized. Gradually you learn to apply it to everyone and |
| Tx:11.60 | of knowledge. At the altar of God, the holy perception of God's Son | becomes so enlightened that light streams into it, and the Spirit of |
| Tx:11.60 | it, and the Spirit of God's Son shines in the Mind of the Father and | becomes one with it. Very gently does God shine upon Himself, loving |

| Tx:12.23 | with you, as its reasoning goes, it offers you oblivion. When it | becomes overtly savage, it offers you hell. |
| Tx:12.26 | By the notion of paying for the past in the future, the past | becomes the determiner of the future, making them continuous without |
| Tx:13.2 | The very real difference between perception and knowledge | becomes quite apparent if you consider this: There is nothing partial |
| Tx:13.80 | of what God knows about you, and in this light, error of any kind | becomes impossible. Why would you struggle so frantically to |
| Tx:13.88 | and restore what always was to your unforgiving mind. Atonement | becomes real and visible to them that use it. On earth this is your |
| Tx:14.12 | Peace, then, be unto everyone who | becomes a teacher of peace. For peace is the acknowledgment of |
| Tx:14.14 | cannot crucify nor suffer crucifixion. The temple you restore | becomes your altar, for it was rebuilt through you. And everything |
| Tx:14.24 | Yet the perception must be without deceit, for otherwise it | becomes the messenger of ignorance rather than a helper in the search |
| Tx:14.25 | recognized or unrecognized, real or false to you. If you hide it, it | becomes unreal to you because you hid it and surrounded it with fear. |
| Tx:14.25 | look at fear, the less you see it, and the clearer what it conceals | becomes. |
| Tx:14.27 | keep them both alive and equal in their reality. Their joining thus | becomes the source of fear, for if they meet, acceptance must be |
| Tx:14.47 | shared and not reflected. By sharing its reflection here, its truth | becomes the only perception the Son of God accepts. And thus, |
| Tx:14.57 | We have already learned that this identity is shared. The miracle | becomes the means of sharing it. By supplying your identity wherever |
| Tx:14.61 | be seen, for it is nothing more than a condition in which seeing | becomes impossible. You who have not yet brought all of the darkness |
| Tx:15.8 | is nothing but a teaching device for compounding guilt until it | becomes all-encompassing and demands vengeance forever. |

| Tx:15.54 | instant, the Sonship gains as one. And united in your blessing, it | becomes one to you. The meaning of love is the meaning God gave to |
| Tx:15.60 | holding it within itself, there was no loss. The holy instant thus | becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your brothers in your mind, |
| Tx:15.70 | the ego makes is based on the idea that by sacrificing itself, it | becomes bigger. The “sacrifice,” which it regards as purification, is |
| Tx:15.71 | other accept the guilt and sacrifice himself as well. Forgiveness | becomes impossible, for the ego believes that to forgive another is |
| Tx:15.75 | are together your minds remain your own. The union of bodies thus | becomes the way in which you would keep minds apart. For bodies |
| Tx:15.91 | no limits on your union with Him.] The reality of this relationship | becomes the only truth that you could ever want. All truth is here. |
| Tx:15.105 | justified. And as long as you would retain the deprivation, attack | becomes salvation, and sacrifice becomes love. |
| Tx:15.105 | retain the deprivation, attack becomes salvation, and sacrifice | becomes love. |
| Tx:16.32 | of love. If the illusion goes, the relationship is broken or | becomes unsatisfying on the grounds of disillusionment. |
| Tx:16.60 | closer you look at the special relationship, the more apparent it | becomes that it must foster guilt and therefore must imprison. |
| Tx:16.70 | and deprivations all enter into the special relationship, which | becomes a way in which you seek to restore your wounded self-esteem. |
| Tx:16.74 | in yourself. You have denied that it is there, and the relationship | becomes your substitute for it. And vengeance becomes your substitute |
| Tx:16.74 | and the relationship becomes your substitute for it. And vengeance | becomes your substitute for Atonement, and the escape from vengeance |
| Tx:16.74 | becomes your substitute for Atonement, and the escape from vengeance | becomes your loss. |
| Tx:17.12 | twisted your perception and fixed it on the past. The smallest leaf | becomes a thing of wonder and a blade of grass a sign of God's |
| Tx:17.18 | that enters into the unholy relationship, the less satisfying it | becomes. And the more the fantasies can encompass, the greater the |
| Tx:17.19 | The “ideal” of the unholy relationship thus | becomes one in which the reality of the other does not enter at all |
| Tx:17.19 | dream. And the less the other really brings to it, the “better” it | becomes. Thus, the attempt at union becomes a way of excluding even |
| Tx:17.19 | brings to it, the “better” it becomes. Thus, the attempt at union | becomes a way of excluding even the one with whom the union was |
| Tx:17.39 | seems to shine in darkness from the frame is exposed to light, it | becomes dull and lifeless and ceases to distract you from the |
| Tx:17.44 | accomplishment. In all its aspects, as it begins, develops, and | becomes accomplished, it represents the reversal of the unholy |
| Tx:17.46 | The temptation of the ego | becomes extremely intense with this shift in goals. For the |
| Tx:17.58 | the outcome. In the ego's procedure, this is reversed. The situation | becomes the determiner of the outcome, which can be anything. The |
| Tx:17.60 | to the Holy Spirit's sorting out of truth and falsity. The true | becomes what can be used to meet the goal. The false becomes the |
| Tx:17.60 | The true becomes what can be used to meet the goal. The false | becomes the useless from this point of view. The situation now has |
| Tx:17.66 | an error in your thoughts about the situation, which then | becomes the justification for your lack of faith. You will make this |
| Tx:17.76 | been demonstrated has called for faith and has been given it. Now it | becomes a fact from which faith can no longer be withheld. The strain |
| Tx:18.15 | because the fact that reality is so outrageously violated in them | becomes apparent. Yet they are a way of looking at the world and |
| Tx:18.59 | and something else in which your mind enlarges to encompass it. It | becomes part of you as you unite with it. And both become whole as |
| Tx:18.73 | illusion, holding itself apart against the universe. The sun | becomes the sunbeam's “enemy” which would devour it, and the ocean |
| Tx:18.79 | the barren ground. See how life springs up everywhere! The desert | becomes a garden, green and deep and quiet, offering rest to those |
| Tx:19.2 | Every situation properly perceived | becomes an opportunity to heal the Son of God. And he is healed |
| Tx:19.3 | as separated from the Universal Purpose. When this occurs, the body | becomes its weapon used against this Purpose to demonstrate the |
| Tx:19.3 | demonstrate the “fact” that separation has occurred. The body thus | becomes the instrument of illusion, acting accordingly; seeing what |
| Tx:19.4 | a body, you have established a condition in which uniting with him | becomes impossible. Your faithlessness to him has separated you from |
| Tx:19.34 | perception, the mind corrects it when it seems to be seen, and it | becomes invisible. And errors are quickly recognized and quickly |
| Tx:19.72 | then, is the attraction of pain. Ruled by this perception, the body | becomes the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying the |
| Tx:20.1 | peace, not pain. A slain Christ has no meaning. But a risen Christ | becomes the symbol of the Son of God's forgiveness of himself; the |
| Tx:20.23 | and so meaningless it slips unnoticed through the universe of truth, | becomes your guide. To it you turn to ask the meaning of the |
| Tx:20.72 | in unadjusted form and suited perfectly to meet it. Destructiveness | becomes benign, and sin is turned to blessing under His gentle gaze. |
| Tx:21.25 | When vision is denied, confusion of cause and effect | becomes inevitable. The purpose now becomes to keep obscure the cause |
| Tx:21.25 | confusion of cause and effect becomes inevitable. The purpose now | becomes to keep obscure the cause of the effect and make effect |
| Tx:21.72 | no reason in them. A flower turns into a poisoned spear, a child | becomes a giant, and a mouse roars like a lion. And love is turned to |
| Tx:21.82 | for constancy in your desire to see the real world, so the desire | becomes the only one you have. By answering the final question “yes,” |
| Tx:22.4 | sense of differences so that the sameness that lies beneath them all | becomes apparent. Here is the golden circle where you recognize the |
| Tx:23.2 | How strange indeed | becomes this war against yourself! You will believe that everything |
| Tx:23.17 | altar disappears, the light grows dim, the temple of the Holy One | becomes a house of sin. And nothing is remembered except illusions. |
| Tx:23.22 | the Son of God can make mistakes for which his own destruction | becomes inevitable. |
| Tx:23.23 | aspects of the Son meet only to conflict but not to join. One | becomes weak, the other strong by his defeat. And fear of God and of |
| Tx:23.25 | See how the fear of God is reinforced by this third principle. Now it | becomes impossible to turn to Him for help in misery. For now He has |
| Tx:23.26 | There can be no release and no escape. Atonement thus | becomes a myth, and vengeance, not forgiveness, is the Will of God. |
| Tx:23.27 | is the belief you have what you have taken. By this, another's loss | becomes your gain, and thus it fails to recognize that you can never |
| Tx:24.10 | wish to separate arises here. For here the purpose which you share | becomes obscured from both of you. You would oppose this course |
| Tx:24.34 | yourself. Faith is invested in yourself alone. Everything else | becomes your enemy—feared and attacked, deadly and dangerous, hated |
| Tx:24.48 | the way that He must go to find Himself complete. His quietness | becomes your certainty. And where is doubt when certainty has come? |
| Tx:25.19 | you to look upon. His sinlessness but pictures yours. His gentleness | becomes your strength, and both will gladly look within and see the |
| Tx:25.31 | choice your future? For you make it now, the instant when all time | becomes a means to reach a goal. Make then your choice. But recognize |
| Tx:25.80 | When anyone is seen as losing, he has been condemned. And punishment | becomes his due instead of justice. |
| Tx:25.86 | for yourself. The miracle that you receive, you give. Each one | becomes an illustration of the law on which salvation rests—that |
| Tx:26.3 | The little that the body fences off | becomes the self, preserved through sacrifice of all the rest. And |
| Tx:26.3 | the body's loss would be a sacrifice indeed. For sight of bodies | becomes the sign that sacrifice is limited and something still |
| Tx:26.25 | and still believes that he has much to be forgiven. Forgiveness thus | becomes the means by which he learns he has done nothing to forgive. |
| Tx:26.52 | creation be subjected to the laws of two opposing powers until God | becomes impatient, splits the world apart, and relegates attack unto |
| Tx:26.82 | resting-place as well as yours. What hatred has released to love | becomes the brightest light in Heaven's radiance. And all the lights |
| Tx:27.3 | no pain and no reproach at all. And what was martyred to his guilt | becomes the perfect witness to his innocence. |
| Tx:27.9 | perceived as neutral and without a goal inherent in itself. For it | becomes the symbol of reproach, the sign of guilt whose consequences |
| Tx:27.32 | an unused interval of time not seen as spent and fully occupied, | becomes a silent invitation to the truth to enter and to make itself |
| Tx:27.50 | despite their different forms. All learning aims at transfer, which | becomes complete within two situations which are seen as one, for |
| Tx:27.69 | No one can waken from a dream the world is dreaming for him. He | becomes a part of someone else's dream. He cannot choose to waken |
| Tx:28.23 | and cause are first split off and then reversed, so that effect | becomes a cause; the cause, effect. |
| Tx:28.48 | Where one appears, the other disappears. And which you share | becomes the only one you have. You have the one which you accept, |
| Tx:29.17 | For it asks that God be less than all He really is. What, then, | becomes of you, for it is you of whom the sacrifice is asked? For He |
| Tx:29.17 | and He is lessened by the loss of you. And what is gone from Him | becomes your god, protecting you from being part of Him. |
| Tx:29.22 | brother's dreams. So perfectly can you forgive him his illusions, he | becomes your savior from your dreams. And as you see him shining in |
| Tx:29.25 | They are dreams because they are not true. Their equal lack of truth | becomes the basis for the miracle, which means that you have |
| Tx:29.29 | that they seem to be what they are for. A shadow figure who attacks | becomes a brother giving you a chance to help if this becomes the |
| Tx:29.29 | who attacks becomes a brother giving you a chance to help if this | becomes the function of the dream. And dreams of sadness thus are |
| Tx:29.30 | given Him. Because He loves the dreamer not the dream, each dream | becomes an offering of love. For at its center is His love for you, |
| Tx:29.50 | which you must protect against the light of truth. And all the world | becomes the means by which this idol can be saved. Salvation thus |
| Tx:29.65 | his thoughts and gives them to the toys instead. And their reality | becomes his own because they seem to save him from his thoughts. Yet |
| Tx:29.66 | more. The dream of judgment is a children's game in which the child | becomes the father, powerful, but with the little wisdom of a child. |
| Tx:30.1 | The new beginning now | becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is clear, but now you |
| Tx:30.57 | to be forgiveness. Fear is not its goal, and the escape from guilt | becomes its aim. The value of forgiveness is perceived and takes the |
| Tx:30.58 | the means by which it can be gained can now be understood. The world | becomes a place of hope because its only purpose is to be a place |
| Tx:30.92 | gifts upon God's Son. When he is tempted, he denies reality. And he | becomes the willing slave of what he chose instead. |
| Tx:31.11 | want? It is the recognition that it is a state of mind unwanted that | becomes the means whereby the choice is reassessed; another outcome |
| Tx:31.15 | roles, forever split between the two. And every friend or enemy | becomes a means to help you save yourself from this. |
| Tx:31.26 | become a habit of response so typical of everything you do that it | becomes your first response to all temptation and to every situation |
| Tx:31.68 | “bad” must lurk behind. This concept emphasizes treachery, and trust | becomes impossible. Nor could it change while you perceive the “bad” |
| W1:3.1 | ones, without making distinctions of any kind. Whatever you see | becomes a proper subject for applying the idea. Be sure that you do |
| W1:5.1 | true. However, until you learn that form does not matter, each form | becomes a proper subject for the exercises for the day. Applying the |
| W1:22.1 | at him. His own attack is thus perceived as self defense. This | becomes an increasingly vicious circle until he is willing to change |
| W1:39.10 | is very difficult at first. It will become much easier as your mind | becomes more disciplined and less distractible. |
| W1:43.2 | Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God's. Healed perception | becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his brother and |
| W1:64.2 | your sins. In this perception, the physical appearance of temptation | becomes the spiritual recognition of salvation. |
| W1:64.4 | your function is to be happy by using the means by which happiness | becomes inevitable. |
| W1:84.5 | I am attacking love and therefore attacking my Self. My Self thus | becomes alien to me. I am determined not to attack my Self today, so |
| W1:91.13 | will see miracles because Their strength is yours. Their strength | becomes your eyes that you may see. |
| W1:97.4 | still; the miracle in which a minute spent in using these ideas | becomes a time which has no length and which has no end. Give, then, |
| W1:99.2 | illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The impossible | becomes the thing you need forgiveness for, salvation from. Salvation |
| W1:103.6 | welcome all the happiness it brings, as truth replaces fear, and joy | becomes what you expect to take the place of pain. God being Love, it |
| W1:106.10 | the world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the world | becomes ready to understand and to receive. |
| W1:122.10 | hopefulness, for we have reached the turning point at which the road | becomes far easier. And now the way is short that yet we travel. We |
| W1:134.8 | illusions as illusions, not as truth. It is because of this that it | becomes the undeceiver in the face of lies, the great restorer of the |
| W1:134.14 | would meet with our reality in freedom and in peace. Our practicing | becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for all our brothers, who |
| W1:135.9 | defense, need merely be perceived as quite apart from you, and it | becomes a healthy, serviceable instrument through which the mind can |
| W1:135.16 | it will be provided for unless it makes its own provisions. Time | becomes a future emphasis to be controlled by learning and experience |
| W1:135.17 | is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has learned before | becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past experience directs |
| W1:135.20 | trace of sorrow and with joy which constantly increases as this life | becomes a holy instant, set in time but heeding only immortality. Let |
| W1:135.20 | no defenses but your present trust direct the future, and this life | becomes a meaningful encounter with the truth that only your defenses |
| W1:137.1 | Sickness is a retreat from others and a shutting off of joining. It | becomes a door that closes on a separate self and keeps it isolated |
| W1:137.6 | think not healing is unworthy of your function here. For anti-Christ | becomes more powerful than Christ to those who dream the world is |
| W1:137.6 | body seems to be more solid and more stable than the mind. And love | becomes a dream, while fear remains the one reality that can be seen |
| W1:137.10 | His life | becomes your own as you extend the little help He asks in freeing you |
| W1:137.11 | to God does not exist. And who accepts it not within his mind | becomes a haven where the weary can remain to rest. For here is truth |
| W1:139.3 | states that he is not himself and therefore, being something else, | becomes a questioner of what that something is. |
| W1:139.4 | that he does not know the only certainty by which he lives. Thus he | becomes uncertain of his life, for what it is has been denied by him. |
| W1:153.6 | attack is folly or a silly game a tired child might play when he | becomes too sleepy to remember what he wants. |
| W1:153.15 | attention to the daily thought as long as possible. Five minutes now | becomes the least we give to preparation for a day in which salvation |
| W1:154.3 | is related to it. God has joined His Son in this, and thus His Son | becomes His messenger of unity with Him. |
| W1:154.4 | guilt abolished in the mind that God created sinless. Now this mind | becomes aware again of Who created it and of His lasting union with |
| W1:157.5 | you. For your experience today will so transform your mind that it | becomes the touchstone for the holy thoughts of God. |
| W1:157.7 | but this become of little worth, the world to which you will return | becomes a little closer to the end of time, a little more like Heaven |
| W1:159.7 | new again but in a different light. What was to be the home of sin | becomes the center of redemption and the hearth of mercy where the |
| W1:164.6 | the world, looks back on them in a new light. And what you see | becomes the healing and salvation of the world. The valuable and |
| W1:164.7 | given us from judgment made beyond the world. Our practicing today | becomes our gift of thankfulness for our release from blindness and |
| W1:166.8 | at this perception of yourself. Where is self-pity then? And what | becomes of all the tragedy you sought to make for him whom God |
| W1:166.12 | of all the gifts that God has given you. He speaks as well of what | becomes your will when you accept these gifts and recognize they are |
| W1:166.14 | What you fear but teaches them their fears are justified. Your hand | becomes the giver of Christ's touch; your change of mind becomes the |
| W1:166.14 | Your hand becomes the giver of Christ's touch; your change of mind | becomes the proof that who accepts God's gifts can never suffer |
| W1:166.15 | to you. Be witness in your happiness to how transformed the mind | becomes which chooses to accept His gifts and feel the touch of |
| W1:167.12 | what is reflected there. And now it is no more a mere reflection. It | becomes the thing reflected and the light which makes reflection |
| W1:169.1 | come until the mind prepares itself for true acceptance. Grace | becomes inevitable instantly in those who have prepared a table where |
| W1:170.6 | Next are the attributes of love bestowed upon its “enemy.” For fear | becomes your safety and protector of your peace, to which you turn |
| W1:170.11 | in fear's “enemy,” its cruelty as now a part of love. And what | becomes more fearful than the heart of Love Itself? The blood appears |
| W1:181.9 | are the eyes of Christ inevitably ours. And the love He feels for us | becomes our own as well. This will become the only thing we see |
| W1:181.10 | The world which once proclaimed our sins | becomes the proof that we are sinless. And our love for everyone we |
| W1:183.4 | of God and little names have lost their meaning. No temptation but | becomes a nameless and unwanted thing before God's Name. Repeat His |
| W1:183.7 | beginning, when we say today's idea but once. And then God's Name | becomes our only thought, our only word, the only thing that occupies |
| W1:183.11 | he made be nameless now, and in their place the holy Name of God | becomes his judgment of their worthlessness. |
| W1:184.1 | by symbols. You have made up names for everything you see. Each one | becomes a separate entity, identified by its own name. By this you |
| W1:184.3 | What are these names by which the world | becomes a series of discrete events, of things un-unified, of bodies |
| W1:184.10 | you need are intervals each day in which the learning of the world | becomes a transitory phase—a prison house from which you go into |
| W1:184.12 | God has no name. And yet His Name | becomes the final lesson that all things are one, and at this single |
| W1:185.3 | Two minds with one intent become so strong that what they will | becomes the Will of God. For minds can only join in truth. In dreams |
| W1:189.10 | which is our own as well, be done in us and in the world, that it | becomes a part of Heaven now. Amen. |
| W1:190.5 | accept your holy will as theirs. And what was seen as fearful now | becomes a source of innocence and holiness. |
| W1:190.8 | over love and time replace eternity and Heaven. And the world | becomes a cruel and a bitter place, where sorrow rules and little |
| W1:192.5 | think that it will die nor be the prey of merciless attack. Anger | becomes impossible, and where is terror then? What fears could still |
| W1:193.10 | words when we are tempted to believe that pain is real and death | becomes our choice instead of life? Shall we not learn to say these |
| W1:194.2 | the door to freedom on it. You are saved, and your salvation thus | becomes the gift you give the world because you have received. |
| W1:194.5 | freed from its bequest of grief and misery, of pain and loss, | becomes the instant in which time escapes the bondage of illusions |
| W1:194.6 | much consistent effort as you can to make it be a part of you. As it | becomes a thought which rules your mind, a habit in your |
| W1:195.9 | about without a thought or care for us or for our future. Gratitude | becomes the single thought we substitute for these insane |
| W1:199.4 | body will appear as useful form for what the mind must do. It thus | becomes a vehicle which helps forgiveness be extended to the |
| W1:199.6 | what they have sought. The body's purpose now is unambiguous. And it | becomes perfect in the ability to serve an undivided goal. In |
| W1:213.1 | to me in place of thoughts I made that hurt me. What I learn of Him | becomes the way I am set free. And so I choose to learn His lessons |
| W2:249.1 | Forgiveness paints a picture of a world where suffering is over, loss | becomes impossible, and anger makes no sense. Attack is gone, and |
| W2:249.1 | suffering is now conceivable? What loss can be sustained? The world | becomes a place of joy, abundance, charity, and endless giving. It is |
| W2:264.1 | every hand that reaches for my own. In You time disappears and place | becomes a meaningless belief. For what surrounds Your Son and keeps |
| W2:WIHS.2 | as the Holy Spirit guides it to the outcome He perceives for it, | becomes the means to go beyond itself, to be replaced by the Eternal |
| W2:296.2 | today what we would learn and that alone. And so our learning goal | becomes an unconflicted one and possible of easy reach and quick |
| W2:313.2 | me today. We save the world when we are joined. For in our vision it | becomes as holy as the light in us. |
| W2:315.1 | gift and takes it as its own. And everyone who finds the way to God | becomes my savior, pointing out the way to me and giving me his |
| W2:343.1 | You never take away. And You created me to be like You, so sacrifice | becomes impossible for me as well as You. I too must give, and so all |
| W2:350.1 | What we forgive | becomes a part of us as we perceive ourselves. The Son of God |
| M:I.4 | as they teach His lessons of joy and hope, their learning finally | becomes complete. |
| M:2.5 | share one interest and one goal. And thus he who was the learner | becomes a teacher of God himself, for he has made the one decision |
| M:4.10 | learning is consolidated. Now what was seen as merely shadows before | becomes solid gains, to be counted on in all “emergencies” as well as |
| M:4.15 | of gentleness, for it is in this that the function of salvation | becomes easy. To those who would do harm, it is impossible. To those |
| M:6.4 | by God. What concern, then, can a teacher of God have about what | becomes of his gifts? Given by God to God, who in this holy exchange |
| M:7.6 | result of conflicting wishes. Be sure of what you want, and doubt | becomes impossible. |
| M:9.2 | His answer, and it is this he follows as his guide for action. This | becomes easier and easier as the teacher of God learns to give up his |
| M:12.1 | learning is complete suffices. This One, sanctified and redeemed, | becomes the Self Who is the Son of God. He who was always wholly |
| M:12.3 | Which gave them. They need a medium through which communication | becomes possible to those who do not realize that they are spirit. A |
| M:12.5 | it to bring the Word of God to those who have it not, and the body | becomes holy. Because it is holy it cannot be sick, nor can it die. |
| M:13.3 | Once this confusion has occurred, it | becomes impossible for the mind to understand that all the |
| M:14.2 | Until forgiveness is complete, the world does have a purpose. It | becomes the home in which forgiveness is born and where it grows and |
| M:14.2 | becomes the home in which forgiveness is born and where it grows and | becomes stronger and more all embracing. Here is it nourished, for |
| M:16.3 | although it remains important throughout the learning process, | becomes less and less emphasized. At the outset, we can safely say |
| M:16.3 | practice periods which the workbook contains, individual need | becomes the chief consideration. |
| M:17.1 | magic seem quite real to both of them. How to deal with magic thus | becomes a major lesson for the teacher of God to master. His first |
| M:17.5 | reaction means, and its centrality in the world's thought system | becomes apparent. A magic thought, by its mere presence, acknowledges |
| M:17.9 | In truth it has no power to make anything. Like the magic which | becomes its servant, it neither attacks nor protects. To see it and |
| M:18.3 | space and tiny breath become the measure of reality. And truth | becomes diminutive and meaningless. Correction has one answer to all |
| M:18.5 | In order to heal, it thus | becomes essential for the teacher of God to let all his own mistakes |
| M:18.5 | of errors. When this has been accomplished, the teacher of God | becomes a miracle worker by definition. His sins have been forgiven |
| M:19.2 | It is, however, the one interpretation that leads to truth. This | becomes possible because, while it is not true in itself, justice |
| M:19.2 | is but the first small step in the direction of the other. The path | becomes quite different as one goes along. Nor could all the |
| M:19.5 | does it judge, and this alone. Here all attack and condemnation | becomes meaningless and indefensible. Perception rests, the mind is |
| M:21.3 | what does not exist or seeks for illusions in his heart, all this | becomes his own. The power of his decision offers it to him, as he |
| M:22.5 | it is because he has forgotten Who he is. Another's sickness thus | becomes his own. In allowing this to happen, he has identified with |
| M:23.4 | as a replacement for the many names of all the gods you pray to. It | becomes the shining symbol for the Word of God, so close to what it |
| M:23.4 | for all the gifts that God has given you. And gratitude to God | becomes the way in which He is remembered, for love cannot be far |
| M:27.5 | the perception of the real world and that of the world of illusions | becomes more sharply evident. Death is indeed the death of God if He |
| M:27.7 | to die has but been misperceived and carried to illusion. Now it | becomes your task to let the illusion be brought to the truth. Be |

| Tx:1.97 | The power and strength of man's creative will must be understood | before the real meaning of denial can be appreciated and |
| Tx:2.4 | also an overly literal figure. These concepts need to be clarified | before the real meaning of the separation, or the “detour into fear,” |
| Tx:2.11 | of what actually occurred in the separation. None of this existed | before, nor does it actually exist now. The world was made as “a |

| Tx:2.38 | The Atonement actually began long | before the crucifixion. Many Souls offered their efforts on behalf of |

| Tx:2.60 | Before miracle workers are ready to undertake their function in this | |
| Tx:2.67 | is because man is afraid of what his Spiritual eye will see. We said | before that the Spiritual eye cannot see error and is capable only of |
| Tx:2.69 | to himself. Healing is an ability lent to man after the separation, | before which it was completely unnecessary. Like all aspects of the |

| Tx:3.11 | There is another point which must be perfectly clear | before any residual fear which may still be associated with miracles |

| Tx:3.61 | which perception, but not cognition, rests. We have discussed this | before in terms of the selectivity of perception, pointing out that |

| Tx:5.63 | the mind, as God created it, is capable of creating reality. We said | before that you must learn to think with God. To think with Him is to |

| Tx:5.70 | possible reason for continuing guilt feelings. We have said this | before, but we did not emphasize the destructive results of this |
| Tx:5.73 | until the first one was made, and speaking itself was unnecessary | before the ego was made. |
| Tx:5.79 | to share the light with you. Remember the symbolic reference we made | before to the ego's dark glass, and remember also that we said, “Do |
| Tx:5.93 | to work out the plan of salvation yourselves because, as I told you | before, the remedy is not of your making. God Himself gave you the |
| Tx:6.4 | let us consider the crucifixion again. We have not dwelt on it | before because of its fearful connotations. The only emphasis we laid |
| Tx:6.5 | anyone who understands it. While we emphasized only the resurrection | before, the purpose of the crucifixion and how it actually led to the |
| Tx:6.9 | We have said | before, “As you teach, so shall you learn.” If you react as if you |
| Tx:6.25 | are synonymous, as are separation and dissociation. We have said | before that the separation was and is dissociation and also that, |
| Tx:6.39 | above all, projecting and being. This is because, as we have said | before, every idea begins in the mind of the thinker and extends |
| Tx:6.41 | denied this, you made what you are something you must learn. We said | before that the message of the crucifixion was, “Teach only love, for |
| Tx:6.76 | which was made irrevocably for you. That is why we suggested | before that there was help in reminding yourselves to allow the Holy |
| Tx:6.82 | since your salvation is critical to the whole Sonship. We said | before that the Holy Spirit is evaluative and must be. Yet His |
| Tx:7.13 | that exists among different or separate people. When we spoke | before of the extremely personal nature of revelation, we followed |
| Tx:7.17 | That is why the Holy Spirit is a lesson in remembering. We said | before that He teaches remembering and forgetting, but the forgetting |
| Tx:7.27 | to peace. The ego's “enemy” is therefore your friend. We said | before that the ego's friend is not part of you, since the ego |
| Tx:7.34 | the laws of God and forgetting the laws of the ego. We said | before that forgetting is merely a way of remembering better. It is |
| Tx:7.60 | which they engender by perceiving conflict as meaningless. We said | before that the Holy Spirit perceives the conflict exactly as it is, |
| Tx:7.83 | mind is life. The ego's use of projection must be fully understood | before its inevitable association between projection and anger can be |
| Tx:7.105 | We said | before that you are the Will of God. His Will is not an idle wish, |
| Tx:7.112 | you do not know your brothers, who created them with you. We said | before that only the whole Sonship is worthy to be co-creator with |
| Tx:8.7 | The total senselessness of such a curriculum must be fully recognized | before a real change in direction becomes possible. You cannot learn |
| Tx:8.12 | We said | before that the Holy Spirit teaches you the difference between pain |
| Tx:8.41 | and reach beyond all attempts of the ego to hold you back. I go | before you, because I am beyond the ego. Reach therefore for my hand, |
| Tx:9.44 | We said | before that the ego does not know what a real question is. Lack of |
| Tx:9.49 | attack. It is a delusional attempt to outdo but not to undo. We said | before that the ego vacillates between suspiciousness and |
| Tx:9.81 | freedom from all illusions because you heard. But have no other gods | before Him, or you will not hear. God is not jealous of the gods you |
| Tx:9.82 | with Him, because reality is not divided. To accept other gods | before Him is to place other images before yourself. |
| Tx:9.82 | divided. To accept other gods before Him is to place other images | before yourself. |
| Tx:9.84 | you to return, and He will be heard when you place no other gods | before Him. You can give up the god of sickness for your brothers; in |
| Tx:9.85 | perfect. If you believe you can be sick, you have placed other gods | before Him. God is not at war with the god of sickness you made, but |
| Tx:9.96 | Son is helpless without the Father, Who alone is his help. We said | before that of yourselves you can do nothing, but you are not of |
| Tx:10.28 | deny Him, remember that there are no other gods that you can place | before Him, and accept His Will for you in peace. For you cannot |
| Tx:10.69 | To perceive anew is merely to perceive again, implying that | before, or in the interval, you were not perceiving at all. What, |
| Tx:11.31 | you must realize that your hatred is in your mind and not outside it | before you can get rid of it and why you must get rid of it before |
| Tx:11.31 | it before you can get rid of it and why you must get rid of it | before you can perceive the world as it really is. |
| Tx:11.39 | defeated. His is the journey to accomplishment, and the goal He sets | before you He will give you. For He will never deceive God's Son, |
| Tx:11.43 | The strong do not attack because they see no need to do so. | Before the idea of attack can enter your mind, you must have |
| Tx:11.67 | We said | before that what you project is up to you, but it is not up to you |
| Tx:11.67 | is a law of mind. Perception is projection, and you look in | before you look out. As you look in you choose the guide for seeing, |
| Tx:12.17 | not hide suffering from His sight, but bring it gladly to Him. Lay | before His eternal sanity all your hurt, and let Him heal you. Do not |
| Tx:12.50 | same time and thus enables them to reach each other. The present is | before time was and will be when time is no more. In it is everything |
| Tx:12.74 | through all dangers to your peace of mind that this world sets | before you. Kneel not before the altars to sacrifice and seek not |
| Tx:12.74 | to your peace of mind that this world sets before you. Kneel not | before the altars to sacrifice and seek not what you will surely |
| Tx:13.34 | brightness so intense that none of us alone can even think on it. | Before the glorious radiance of the Kingdom, guilt melts away and, |
| Tx:13.34 | will never cease His praise of you. United in this praise, we stand | before the gates of Heaven where we will surely enter in our |
| Tx:13.60 | for when you look at it in simple honesty, it is undone. We said | before, “Be not content with nothing,” for you have believed that |
| Tx:13.61 | is true and built on truth. The universe of learning will open up | before you in all its gracious simplicity. With truth before you, you |
| Tx:13.61 | will open up before you in all its gracious simplicity. With truth | before you, you will not look back. |
| Tx:13.88 | truth in your most holy mind be undone for you and stand in grace | before your Father, He will give Himself to you as He has always |
| Tx:13.89 | here? You need not understand creation to do what must be done | before that knowledge would be meaningful to you. God breaks no |
| Tx:13.91 | Before you make any decisions for yourself, remember that you have | |
| Tx:14.35 | your recognition. They are joined in giving you the gift of oneness, | before which all separation vanishes. Unite with what you are. You |
| Tx:14.60 | by showing you only what you are now. Learning has been accomplished | before its effects are manifest. Learning is therefore in the past, |
| Tx:14.71 | your voice against Him. For He teaches the miracle of oneness, and | before His lesson division disappears. Teach like Him here, and you |
| Tx:15.4 | We have seen this strange paradox in the ego's thought system | before, but never so clearly as here. For the ego must seem to keep |
| Tx:15.17 | teaching is for you because His joy is yours. Through Him you stand | before God's altar, where He gently translates hell into Heaven. For |
| Tx:15.21 | Presence of what the universe bows to in appreciation and gladness? | Before the recognition of the universe which witnesses to It, your |
| Tx:15.26 | content with less than his Father has given him. We asked you once | before, “Would you be hostage to the ego or host to God?” Let this |
| Tx:15.30 | Love is not little, and love dwells in you, for you are host to Him. | Before the greatness that lives in you, your poor appreciation of |
| Tx:15.34 | it protects only the peace in which He dwells. Lay not littleness | before His holy altar, which rises above the stars and reaches even |
| Tx:15.37 | Be humble | before Him and yet great in Him. And value no plan of the ego before |
| Tx:15.37 | humble before Him and yet great in Him. And value no plan of the ego | before the plan of God. For you leave empty your place in His plan, |
| Tx:15.46 | and acquired methods for meeting them on your own terms. We said | before that to limit love to part of the Sonship is to bring guilt |
| Tx:15.68 | We said | before that the ego attempts to maintain and increase guilt, but in |
| Tx:16.21 | have taught through Him, have nothing in common with what you taught | before He came. And the results have been to bring peace where there |
| Tx:16.30 | the hate but not to let it go. Your salvation will rise clearly | before your open eyes as you look on this. You cannot limit hate. The |
| Tx:16.43 | attack on the self to make the other guilty. We have spoken of this | before, but there are some aspects of what is really being attempted |
| Tx:16.55 | nothing more than a meaningless attempt to raise other gods | before Him and by worshiping them to obscure their tininess and His |
| Tx:16.55 | you do not want this. For every idol which you raise to place | before Him stands before you in place of what you are. |
| Tx:16.55 | want this. For every idol which you raise to place before Him stands | before you in place of what you are. |
| Tx:16.65 | your minds so firmly on illusions. Delay will hurt you now more than | before only because you realize it is delay and that escape from pain |
| Tx:16.75 | of salvation, the Holy Spirit gently lays the holy instant. We said | before that the Holy Spirit must teach through comparisons and uses |
| Tx:17.22 | All this you will do gladly if you but let Him hold the spark | before you to light your way and make it clear to you. God's Son is |
| Tx:17.77 | the strain of not responding to His call seems to be greater than | before. This is not so. Before, the strain was there but you |
| Tx:17.77 | to His call seems to be greater than before. This is not so. | Before, the strain was there but you attributed it to something else, |
| Tx:17.78 | the Son of God. His faithlessness did this to him. Think carefully | before you let yourself use faithlessness against him. For he is |
| Tx:18.14 | Yet think what this world is. It is clearly not the world you saw | before you slept. Rather, it is a distortion of the world, planned |
| Tx:18.20 | have used them to remain asleep. We once said that the first change, | before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are changed to |
| Tx:18.27 | In your relationship is this world's light. And fear must disappear | before you now. Be tempted not to snatch away the gift of faith you |
| Tx:18.42 | mind. That is its function. Never attempt to overlook your guilt | before you ask the Holy Spirit's help. That is His function. Your |
| Tx:18.89 | you see the light behind it. And then you see it as a fragile veil | before the light. |
| Tx:18.90 | is like a bank of low dark clouds that seems to be a solid wall | before the sun. Its impenetrable appearance is wholly an illusion. It |
| Tx:18.95 | way. Where learning ends there God begins, for learning ends | before Him Who is complete where He begins and where there is no end. |
| Tx:18.97 | the course it took, lifted high above the darkness and gently placed | before the gates of Heaven. The holy instant in which you were united |
| Tx:19.1 | We said | before that when a situation has been dedicated wholly to truth, |
| Tx:19.10 | which you received. You do not use anything your brother has done | before to condemn him now. You freely choose to overlook his errors, |
| Tx:19.14 | In the holy instant, you stand | before the altar God has raised unto Himself and both of you. Lay |
| Tx:19.14 | the glad tidings that it was done to you who stand together | before the altar from which they were sent forth. |
| Tx:19.24 | it is far better to be sinful than mistaken. Yet think you carefully | before you allow yourself to make this choice. Approach it not |
| Tx:19.32 | what God created holy could not prevail against it nor remain itself | before the power of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than God, |
| Tx:19.32 | before the power of sin. Sin is perceived as mightier than God, | before which God Himself must bow and offer His creation to its |
| Tx:19.33 | has been removed, and so it can be cherished but a little while | before it vanishes. Only the habit of looking for it still remains. |
| Tx:19.35 | faith to what you now can see. The barriers to heaven will disappear | before your holy sight, for you who were sightless have been given |
| Tx:19.38 | within must first expand and flow across the obstacles you placed | before it. This will you do, for nothing undertaken with the Holy |
| Tx:19.39 | thanks and gratitude which you have offered Him and lay them gently | before His Creator in the name of His most holy Son. And the Father |
| Tx:19.43 | messengers from you to all the world. And barriers will fall away | before their coming as easily as those which you would interpose will |
| Tx:19.46 | land and settle briefly upon anything, for it has no purpose now. | Before the Holy Spirit entered to abide with you, it seemed to have a |
| Tx:19.47 | makes its results appear to be more erratic and unpredictable than | before. Yet what could be more unstable than a tightly-organized |
| Tx:19.48 | How mighty can a little feather be | before the great wings of truth? Can it oppose an eagle's flight or |
| Tx:19.50 | losing none of them on pain of death and laying them respectfully | before their lord and master. Perception cannot obey two masters, |
| Tx:19.54 | but theirs, you will see fear no more. The world will be transformed | before your sight, cleansed of all guilt and softly brushed with |
| Tx:19.55 | Love, too, would set a feast | before you on a table covered with a spotless cloth, set in a quiet |
| Tx:19.55 | grace is said by everyone together as they join in gentleness | before the table of communion. And I will join you there, as long ago |
| Tx:19.64 | cannot be asked of you? There is no obstacle which you can place | before our union, for in your holy relationship, I am there already. |
| Tx:19.85 | by its orders, proof in his decay that God Himself is powerless | before the ego's might, unable to protect the life that He created |
| Tx:19.91 | The fourth obstacle to be surmounted hangs like a heavy veil | before the face of Christ. Yet as His face rises beyond it, shining |
| Tx:19.95 | And now you stand in terror | before what you swore never to look upon. Your eyes look down, |
| Tx:19.98 | the Atonement and learned illusions are not real. No one can stand | before this obstacle alone, for he could not have reached thus far |
| Tx:19.99 | realize its purpose is accomplished? Here, with the journey's end | before you, you see its purpose. And it is here you choose whether to |
| Tx:19.100 | you look upon each other with perfect faith and love and tenderness. | Before complete forgiveness, you still stand unforgiving. You are |
| Tx:19.105 | redemption is accomplished and received. Think who your brother is | before you would condemn him. And offer thanks to God that he is holy |
| Tx:20.15 | one another the freedom and the strength to lead you there. And come | before each other's holy altar where the strength and freedom wait, |
| Tx:20.16 | is a change; a shift in perception or a belief that what was so | before has been made different. Every adjustment is therefore a |
| Tx:20.19 | and frightened, hoping at most that death will wait a little longer | before it overtakes you and you disappear? You made this up. It is a |
| Tx:20.22 | will wander off. He came without a purpose, but he will not remain | before the shining light the Holy Spirit offered and you accepted. |
| Tx:20.35 | when, while you are in time, there is so much that must be done | before the way to peace is open. Perhaps this seems impossible to |
| Tx:20.36 | He will go | before you making straight your path and leaving in your way no |
| Tx:20.36 | will be denied you. Not one seeming difficulty but will melt away | before you reach it. You need take thought for nothing, careless of |
| Tx:20.41 | that runs through time like golden light is all the same—nothing | before it, nothing afterwards. |
| Tx:20.56 | the holy instant, offered him to replace the unholy one he chose | before. And here can he learn relationships are his salvation and not |
| Tx:20.58 | discrepancies of means and end and how these must be brought in line | before your holy relationship can bring you only joy. But we have |
| Tx:20.60 | They guarantee the goal, and they are perfectly in line with it. | Before we look at them a little closer, remember that if you think |
| Tx:20.63 | relationships with other bodies, serving the cause of sin an instant | before he dies. |
| Tx:20.69 | Be willing, then, to see your brother sinless that Christ may rise | before your vision and give you joy. And place no value on your |
| Tx:20.72 | Look through its eyes, and everything will stand condemned | before you. All that could save you, you will never see. Your holy |
| Tx:21.3 | go through the doors you thought were closed but which stand open | before unseeing eyes, waiting to welcome you. |
| Tx:21.4 | necessary to imagine what the world must look like. It must be seen | before you recognize it for what it is. You can be shown which doors |
| Tx:21.10 | into a great and shining circle. And all the circle fills with light | before your eyes. The edges of the circle disappear, and what is in |
| Tx:21.32 | them no longer. For faith and vision and belief are meaningful only | before the state of certainty is reached. In Heaven they are unknown. |
| Tx:22.24 | form of the same fundamental illusion we have seen many times | before. Only if it were possible the Son of God could leave his |
| Tx:22.38 | way or the other. For now if you go straight ahead, the way you went | before you reached the branch, you will go nowhere. The whole purpose |
| Tx:22.40 | And so you stand, here in this holy place, | before the veil of sin that hangs between you and the face of Christ. |
| Tx:22.40 | almost over in your awareness, and peace has reached you even here | before the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of Christ |
| Tx:22.43 | And so they learn that it is theirs forever. All barriers disappear | before their coming, as every obstacle was finally surmounted which |
| Tx:22.43 | was finally surmounted which seemed to rise and block their way | before. This veil you lift together opens the way to truth to more |
| Tx:22.44 | —to receive together and give as you received. Standing | before the veil, it still seems difficult. But hold out your joined |
| Tx:22.48 | How weak is fear—how little and how meaningless! How insignificant | before the quiet strength of those whom love has joined! This is your |
| Tx:22.53 | from means to end as easy as is the shift from hate to gratitude | before forgiving eyes. You will be sanctified by one another, using |
| Tx:22.55 | Before a holy relationship there is no sin. The form of error is no | |
| Tx:23.10 | “enemy” you fought as an intruder on your peace is here transformed | before your sight into the giver of your peace. Your “enemy” was God |
| Tx:23.32 | And if it is the truth, then must its opposite, which was the truth | before, be madness now. Such a reversal, completely turned around, |
| Tx:23.34 | is it unfamiliar; we have seen how it appears to function many times | before. In truth it does not function, yet in dreams, where only |
| Tx:23.44 | become impossible that you lose sight of it? It can be kept shining | before your vision, forever clear and never out of sight if you |
| Tx:24.15 | song of honor and of love for what you are seems silent and unheard | before its “mightiness.” You strain your ears to hear its soundless |
| Tx:24.27 | alone and unforgiven and yourself in sin beside him, both in misery | before the idol that can save you not. |
| Tx:24.37 | all illusions are “threatened” by the truth. They will not stand | before it. Yet what comfort has ever been in them that you would keep |
| Tx:24.43 | Yet think not that it looked upon your brother first, nor hated him | before it hated you. The sin its eyes behold in him and love to look |
| Tx:24.48 | There must be doubt | before there can be conflict. And every doubt must be about yourself. |
| Tx:24.48 | your hands are His. He is within you, yet He walks beside you and | before, leading the way that He must go to find Himself complete. His |
| Tx:24.49 | Before your brother's holiness the world is still and peace descends | |
| Tx:24.49 | offered you that all your doubts about yourself may disappear | before his holiness. See in him God's creation. For in him, his |
| Tx:24.51 | in all the universe. Nothing that God created has He failed to lay | before you lovingly as yours forever. And no thought within His Mind |
| Tx:24.51 | for you and look upon yourself as lovingly as He conceived of you | before the world began and as He knows you still. God changes not His |
| Tx:24.58 | happiness. And never doubt but that your specialness will disappear | before the Will of God, Who loves each part of Him with equal love |
| Tx:25.7 | the face of Christ from its beholders. And both of you stand there, | before Him now, to let Him draw aside the veil that seems to keep you |
| Tx:25.14 | that it will suddenly succeed and bring what it has never brought | before? |
| Tx:25.16 | Who hangs an empty frame upon a wall and stands | before it, deep in reverence, as if a masterpiece were there to see? |
| Tx:25.28 | what is given him, then will he see each situation that he thought | before was means to justify his anger turned to an event which |
| Tx:25.28 | his love. He will hear plainly that the calls to war he heard | before are really calls to peace. He will perceive that where he gave |
| Tx:25.34 | revenge, and every wish to hurt and kill and die will disappear | before the sun you bring. |
| Tx:25.35 | 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 twisted |
| Tx:25.36 | be restored to him for whom it was created as his only home? Nothing | before and nothing after it. No other place, no other state nor time. |
| Tx:25.38 | see the Son of God as innocent and wish him dead? Christ stands | before you both each time you look on one another. He has not gone |
| Tx:25.52 | Let us go back to what we said | before and think of it more carefully. It must be so that either God |
| Tx:25.57 | points to an alternative, another way of looking at what he has seen | before and recognizes as the world in which he lives and thought he |
| Tx:25.57 | recognizes as the world in which he lives and thought he understood | before. |
| Tx:26.4 | love be heard at all. Yet is it given him to make the world recede | before his song and sight of him replace the body's eyes. |
| Tx:26.16 | form you will not want. And you will see each little hurt resolved | before the Holy Spirit's gentle sight. For all of them are little in |
| Tx:26.16 | them are little in His sight and worth no more than just a tiny sigh | before they disappear, to be forever undone and unremembered. What |
| Tx:26.28 | Forgiveness brings no little miracles to lay | before the gate of Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself comes to |
| Tx:26.32 | eternity. And so is all time passed and everything exactly as it was | before the way to nothingness was made. The tiny tick of time in |
| Tx:26.33 | past. Each thing you look upon you saw but for an instant, long ago | before its unreality gave way to truth. Not one illusion still |
| Tx:26.33 | ago that it is hard indeed to hold it to your heart as if it were | before you still. |
| Tx:26.35 | as if it could be made again in time. You keep an ancient memory | before your eyes. And he who lives in memories alone is unaware of |
| Tx:26.47 | in miracles. And as such, the laws of healing must be understood | before the purpose of the course can be accomplished. Let us review |
| Tx:26.55 | Yet facts can be denied and thus unknown, though they were known | before they were denied. |
| Tx:27.3 | of attack upon God's Son. You hold a picture of your crucifixion | before his eyes that he may see his sins are writ in Heaven in your |
| Tx:27.3 | may see his sins are writ in Heaven in your blood and death and go | before him, closing off the gate and damning him to hell. Yet this is |
| Tx:27.15 | true forgiveness reigns can suffer. He holds not the proof of sin | before his brother's eyes. And thus he must have overlooked it and |
| Tx:27.18 | can never be undone. And hopelessness and death must disappear | before the ancient clarion call of life. This call has power far |
| Tx:28.13 | speaks in gentle sounds of love the Son of God remembers from | before his own remembering came in between the present and the past |
| Tx:28.24 | the other way, begins. This final step is an effect of what has gone | before, appearing as a cause. The miracle is the first step in giving |
| Tx:28.35 | who would no longer starve and would enjoy the feast of plenty set | before them there. And they will meet with your invited Guests the |
| Tx:28.36 | no one is deprived or can deprive. Here is a feast the Father lays | before His Son and shares it equally with him. And in Their sharing |
| Tx:28.42 | if you see there is no truth in yours, his dreams will [disappear | before his eyes], and he will understand what made the dream. |
| Tx:28.59 | lets his mind be healed and unified. His secret vows are powerless | before the Will of God, Whose promises he shares. And what he |
| Tx:29.16 | is to attain a state unlike the one in which you found yourself | before. There is no change in immortality, and Heaven knows it not. |
| Tx:29.20 | his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a savior first, | before he can remember what he is. And he must save who would be |
| Tx:29.22 | the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his body is. | Before this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way |
| Tx:29.54 | it represents. All forms of anti-Christ oppose the Christ and fall | before His face like a dark veil which seems to shut you off from |
| Tx:29.56 | What is an idol? Nothing! It must be believed | before it seems to come to life and given power that it may be |
| Tx:29.68 | is heard which everyone remembers, though he has not heard it since | before all time began. Forgiveness, once complete, brings |
| Tx:30.10 | and cannot see the question. Now you need a quick restorative | before you ask. |
| Tx:30.30 | you have sought perceives your happiness. You always ask advice | before you can decide on anything. Let this be understood, and you |
| Tx:30.31 | is but a fact. For you and your advisor must agree on what you want | before it can occur. It is but this agreement which permits all |
| Tx:30.32 | that it will ever have. It needs but two. These two are joined | before there can be a decision. Let this be the one reminder that you |
| Tx:30.44 | unchanged by your forgetting. It will always be exactly as it was | before the time when you forgot and will be just the same when you |
| Tx:30.63 | look on Him Whose hand they hold. The face of Christ is looked upon | before the Father is remembered. For He must be unremembered till His |
| Tx:30.83 | then in looking back you think you see another meaning in what went | before. What have you really done except to show there was no meaning |
| Tx:30.89 | For everything you see will change, and yet you thought it real | before, and now you think it real again. Reality is thus reduced to |
| Tx:31.4 | —an enormity so great the Holy Spirit's Voice seems small and still | before its magnitude. The world began with one strange lesson, |
| Tx:31.5 | made to teach. Now does your ancient overlearning stand implacable | before the Voice of truth and teach you that Its lessons are not |
| Tx:31.14 | Neither is true. Nor are they different. Yet must we see them both | before you can look past them to the one alternative that is a |
| Tx:31.18 | Before you answer, pause to think of this: | |
| Tx:31.22 | still an instant. Come without all thought of what you ever learned | before and put aside all images you made. The old will fall away |
| Tx:31.22 | before and put aside all images you made. The old will fall away | before the new without your opposition or intent. There will be no |
| Tx:31.25 | and how it must be made. For next to you is One Who holds the light | before you so that every step is made in certainty and sureness of |
| Tx:31.34 | All of them will lead to death. On some you travel gaily for a while | before the bleakness enters. And on some the thorns are felt at once. |
| Tx:31.35 | where every end is sure. Perhaps you would prefer to try them all | before you really learn they are but one. The roads this world can |
| Tx:31.51 | know exactly what would happen? Could he see your future and ordain | before it came what you should do in every circumstance? He must have |
| Tx:31.55 | it does not yet approach a basic question. Something must have gone | before these concepts of the self. And something must have done the |
| Tx:31.55 | it for him in the image of your own. While only he was treacherous | before, now must you be condemned along with him. |
| Tx:31.66 | clearly seen, that does not fit the picture as it was perceived | before will change the world for eyes that learn to see, because the |
| Tx:31.74 | The concept of the self stands like a shield, a silent barricade | before the truth, and hides it from your sight. All things you see |
| Tx:31.75 | as he beholds this One. For there is light where darkness was | before, and now the veil is lifted from his sight. |
| Tx:31.87 | to learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice | before, you now can make a better one and thus escape all pain which |
| Tx:31.87 | can make a better one and thus escape all pain which what you chose | before has brought to you. In every difficulty, all distress, and |
| Tx:31.88 | every circumstance and every place you raised an image of yourself | before. For what appears to hide the face of Christ is powerless |
| Tx:31.88 | before. For what appears to hide the face of Christ is powerless | before His majesty and disappears before His holy sight. The saviors |
| Tx:31.88 | the face of Christ is powerless before His majesty and disappears | before His holy sight. The saviors of the world who see like Him are |
| Tx:31.91 | And thus are miracles as natural as fear and agony appeared to be | before the choice for holiness was made. For in that choice are false |
| Tx:31.92 | see all pain in every form wherever it occurs but disappear as mists | before the sun. A miracle has come to heal God's Son and close the |
| Tx:31.93 | Deny me not the little gift I ask when in exchange I lay | before your feet the peace of God and power to bring this peace to |
| Tx:31.93 | and clean and fresh you will forget the pain and sorrow that you saw | before. Yet this a vision is which you must share with everyone you |
| Tx:31.94 | to our sight to lift us high above the thorny roads we traveled on | before the Christ appeared. Hear me, my brothers, hear and join with |
| Tx:31.97 | “Amen.” For Christ has come to dwell in the abode You set for Him | before time was, in calm eternity. The journey closes, ending at the |
| W1:6.3 | required should be preceded by a minute or so of mind searching, as | before, and the application of the idea to each upsetting thought |
| W1:9.2 | for the untrained mind to believe that what seems to be pictured | before it is not there. This idea can be quite disturbing and may |
| W1:10.1 | that they are not your real thoughts. We have made this distinction | before and will again. You have no basis for comparison as yet. When |
| W1:10.6 | The exercises consist, as | before, in searching your mind for all the thoughts which are |
| W1:10.8 | experience discomfort. Remember, however, to repeat the idea slowly | before applying it specifically, and also to add: |
| W1:16.3 | but equally unreal. We will practice this idea in many forms | before you really understand it. |
| W1:25.4 | Before you can make any sense out of the exercises for today, one | |
| W1:25.8 | Then move on to the next subject, and apply today's idea as | before. |
| W1:30.1 | is the springboard for vision. From this idea will the world open up | before you, and you will look upon it and see in it what you have |
| W1:30.1 | and you will look upon it and see in it what you have never seen | before. Nor will what you saw before be even faintly visible to you. |
| W1:30.1 | and see in it what you have never seen before. Nor will what you saw | before be even faintly visible to you. |
| W1:36.5 | and repeat the idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and continue as | before. |
| W1:44.3 | purpose, we will use a form of practice which has been suggested | before and which we will utilize increasingly. It is a particularly |
| W1:46.1 | because He has never condemned. And there must be condemnation | before forgiveness is necessary. Forgiveness is the great need of |
| W1:51.4 | willing to do so. Is not this a better choice than the one I made | before? |
| W1:52.3 | no “enemies.” And I will look with love on all that I failed to see | before. |
| W1:53.6 | will that they do so. My will is His, and I will place no other gods | before Him. |
| W1:54.2 | I see arises from my thinking errors, so will the real world rise | before my eyes as I let my errors be corrected. My thoughts cannot be |
| W1:54.4 | a private world. Even the mad idea of separation had to be shared | before it could form the basis of the world I see. Yet that sharing |
| W1:65.8 | to catch a few of the idle thoughts which escaped your attention | before, but do not strain or make undue effort in doing this. Then |
| W1:69.2 | Today let us make another real attempt to reach the light in you. | Before we undertake this in our more extended practice period, let us |
| W1:70.12 | light beyond. Remember that you will have to go through the clouds | before you can reach the light. But remember also that you have never |
| W1:73.9 | Today it is the ego which stands powerless | before your will. Your will is free, and nothing can prevail against |
| W1:75.4 | single purpose makes our goal inevitable. Today the real world rises | before us in gladness, to be seen at last. Sight is given us, now |
| W1:75.7 | the world today. You can look upon it now as if you never saw it | before. You do not know yet what it looks like. You merely wait to |
| W1:76.1 | We have observed | before how many senseless things have seemed to you to be salvation. |
| W1:78.1 | and a miracle. Each grievance stands like a dark shield of hate | before the miracle it would conceal. And as you raise it up before |
| W1:78.1 | of hate before the miracle it would conceal. And as you raise it up | before your eyes, you will not see the miracle beyond. Yet all the |
| W1:78.2 | We will reverse the way you see by not allowing sight to stop | before it sees. We will not wait before the shield of hate, but lay |
| W1:78.2 | see by not allowing sight to stop before it sees. We will not wait | before the shield of hate, but lay it down and gently lift our eyes |
| W1:78.3 | lay them down, he will appear in shining light where each one stood | before. For every grievance is a block to sight, and as it lifts, you |
| W1:81.2 | been given the function of lighting up the world! Let me be still | before my holiness. In its calm light, let all my conflicts |
| W1:81.4 | of the world shine through this appearance. This shadow will vanish | before the light. |
| W1:81.5 | in this light will my function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous | before my sight. My acceptance does not depend on my recognizing what |
| W1:90.5 | time. I believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse | before it can be worked out. I do not see the problem and the answer |
| W1:92.1 | what you see by putting little bits of glass or other clear material | before your eyes held in a frame or placed against the eye. |
| W1:92.8 | its sight, and none who enters its abode can leave without a miracle | before his eyes and strength and light abiding in his heart. |
| W1:96.2 | and effort, hopefulness and doubt, each one as futile as the one | before and failing as the next one surely will. |
| 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 little |
| W1:101.3 | the welcome boon of death to victims who are little more than bones | before salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but |
| W1:104.2 | which are our own in truth. His are the gifts which we inherited | before time was and which will still be ours when time has passed |
| W1:104.7 | We clear a holy place within our minds | before His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy are welcome and to |
| W1:105.5 | in simple terms of adding more, for that implies that it was less | before. It adds by letting what cannot contain itself fulfill its aim |
| W1:109.3 | which it cannot solve. And no appearance but will turn to truth | before the eyes of you who rest in God. |
| W1:R3.8 | so you undertake one in the morning and the other in the hour just | before you go to sleep. |
| W1:122.5 | thankful it remains exactly as He planned it. Changelessly it stands | before you, like an open door with warmth and welcome calling from |
| W1:122.6 | All the complexities the world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear | before the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement |
| W1:122.12 | Before the light you will receive today the world will fade until it | |
| W1:124.3 | is our eternal gift to those who follow after and to those who went | before or stayed with us a while. And God, Who loves us with the |
| W1:127.9 | the legion of the future years of waiting for salvation disappears | before the timelessness of what you learn. Let us give thanks today |
| W1:128.7 | you will not value anything you see as much as when you looked at it | before. Your whole perspective on the world will shift by just a |
| W1:130.10 | it is not the kind of seeing that your eyes alone have ever seen | before. And you will know God's strength upheld as you made this |
| W1:131.15 | Seek for that door and find it. But | before you try to open it, remind yourself no one can fail who asks |
| W1:131.15 | has any meaning now; no other goal is valued now nor sought; nothing | before this door you really want, and only what lies past it do you |
| W1:131.16 | you see. A tiny moment of surprise, perhaps, will make you pause | before you realize the world you see before you in the light reflects |
| W1:131.16 | perhaps, will make you pause before you realize the world you see | before you in the light reflects the truth you knew and did not quite |
| W1:132.3 | You free the past from what you thought | before. You free the future from all ancient thoughts of seeking what |
| W1:135.17 | that plans is thus refusing to allow for change. What it has learned | before becomes the basis for its future goals. Its past experience |
| W1:136.11 | planning for your own defense. And you believe that Heaven quails | before such mad attacks as these, with God made blind by your |
| W1:136.20 | weather or fatigue, by food and drink, or any laws you made it serve | before. You need do nothing now to make it well, for sickness has |
| W1:137.7 | so healing must replace the fantasies of sickness which you hold | before the simple truth. When sickness has been seen to disappear in |
| W1:138.9 | Heaven's help, and all mistakes in judgment which the mind had made | before are open to correction as the truth dismisses them as |
| W1:138.12 | Before we close our eyes in sleep tonight, we reaffirm the choice | |
| W1:140.2 | awakened from the dream, and so his mind remains exactly as it was | before. He has not seen the light that would awaken him and end the |
| W1:140.11 | the day begins and end the day by listening again five minutes more | before we go to sleep. Our only preparation is to let our interfering |
| W1:R4.12 | 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 wherein He |
| W1:151.7 | light of what He sees do all the ego's dreams of what you are vanish | before the splendor He beholds. |
| W1:151.8 | because it rests on certainty so great that doubt is meaningless | before Its face. Christ cannot doubt Himself. The Voice of God can |
| W1:151.8 | now to play with toys of sin, unheeding of the body's witnesses | before the rapture of His holy face. |
| W1:151.15 | Spend 15 minutes thus when you awake, and gladly give another 15 more | before you go to sleep. Your ministry begins as all your thoughts are |
| W1:152.3 | that the truth is true and nothing else is true. This you have heard | before, but may not yet accept both parts of it. Without the first, |
| W1:155.1 | recognize you also and believe that you are like them as you were | before. |
| W1:155.8 | and nothing more. It asks that you accept the truth, and let it go | before you, lighting up the path of ransom from illusion. It is not a |
| W1:155.9 | as you walk with certainty of purpose to the truth. It goes | before you now, that they may see something with which they can |
| W1:155.11 | we make for everyone. We must not lose our way. For as truth goes | before us, so it goes before our brothers who will follow us. |
| W1:155.11 | We must not lose our way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes | before our brothers who will follow us. |
| W1:155.12 | content the holy Son of God? We walk to God. The truth that walks | before us now is one with Him and leads us to where He has always |
| W1:156.4 | feet. The scent of flowers is their gift to you. The waves bow down | before you, and the trees extend their arms to shield you from the |
| W1:156.4 | extend their arms to shield you from the heat and lay their leaves | before you on the ground that you may walk in softness, while the |
| W1:156.5 | is what the universe longs to behold. All living things are still | before you, for they recognize Who walks with you. The light you |
| W1:161.1 | fail to welcome in the Christ where fear and anger had prevailed | before. Here is Atonement made complete, the world passed safely by, |
| W1:162.2 | sin, and no illusion that the dream contains that will not fade away | before their might. They are the trumpet of awakening that sounds |
| W1:162.3 | and his body healed because he sleeps and wakens with the truth | before him always. He will save the world because he gives the world |
| W1:163.2 | its sightless eyes. The frail, the helpless, and the sick bow down | before its image, thinking it alone is real, inevitable, worthy of |
| W1:164.2 | The world fades easily away | before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A melody from far beyond the |
| W1:164.4 | so great and so completely different from all things you sought | before that you will know that here your treasure is and here your |
| W1:164.5 | true. And in His judgment will a world unfold in perfect innocence | before your eyes. Now will you see it with the eyes of Christ. Now is |
| W1:165.4 | need you perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind will be | before it comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you. |
| W1:166.5 | his so great that everything the world contains is valueless | before its magnitude. |
| W1:169.8 | We have repeated several times | before that you but make a journey that is done. For oneness must be |
| W1:170.9 | of your release from abject slavery. You make a choice, standing | before this idol, seeing him exactly as he is. Will you restore to |
| W1:170.9 | you restore to love what you have sought to wrest from it and lay | before this mindless piece of stone? Or will you make another idol to |
| W1:170.12 | you made and call it god no longer. You have reached this place | before, but you have chosen that this cruel god remain with you in |
| W1:R5.10 | I am made whole, we go together to our ancient home, prepared for us | before time was and kept unchanged by time, immaculate and safe, as |
| W1:R5.12 | His extension in your own. We practice but an ancient truth we knew | before illusion seemed to claim the world. And we remind the world |
| W1:R5.14 | we review but we surround with it and use the thoughts to hold it up | before our minds and keep it clear in our remembrance throughout the |
| W1:181.2 | to give support to the intent which has replaced the one you held | before. Remove your focus on your brother's sins, and you experience |
| W1:181.4 | the goals this course is advocating are from those you held | before. And you have also been dismayed by the depressing and |
| W1:183.4 | meaning. No temptation but becomes a nameless and unwanted thing | before God's Name. Repeat His Name and see how easily you will forget |
| W1:183.4 | you gave them. They become anonymous and valueless to you, although | before you let the Name of God replace their little names, you stood |
| W1:183.4 | before you let the Name of God replace their little names, you stood | before them worshipfully, naming them as gods. |
| W1:187.1 | he has. In fact, giving is proof of having. We have made this point | before. What seems to make it hard to credit is not this. No one can |
| W1:187.3 | Ideas must first belong to you | before you give them. If you are to save the world, you first accept |
| W1:187.8 | to give as well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure | before the face of one who has forgiven and has blessed himself. |
| W1:187.9 | The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness | before the purity that you will look on here. Be not afraid to look. |
| W1:187.10 | Now are we one in thought, for fear has gone. And here, | before the altar to one God, one Father, one Creator and one thought, |
| W1:189.7 | you one thought the past has taught nor one belief you ever learned | before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come |
| W1:190.8 | and a bitter place, where sorrow rules and little joys give way | before the onslaught of the savage pain that waits to end all joy in |
| W1:192.4 | the Word of God can now replace the senseless symbols written there | before. Forgiveness is the means by which the fear of death is |
| W1:193.12 | Would you fail to learn the simple lessons Heaven's Teacher sets | before you that all pain may disappear and God may be remembered by |
| W1:193.16 | happenings the hour brought, so that the next one is free of the one | before. The chains of time are easily unloosened in this way. |
| W1:195.2 | to take the steps which He directs and follow in the way He sets | before them to escape a prison that they thought contained no door to |
| W1:197.6 | you can never think the gifts of God are lent but for a little while | before He snatches them away again in death. For death will have no |
| W1:198.13 | is there silence all around the world. Now is there stillness where | before there was a frantic rush of thoughts that made no sense. Now |
| W1:200.3 | when you have but to look with open eyes to find that Heaven lies | before you, through a door that opens easily to welcome you? |
| W1:200.10 | of false desires, fallen from the trees of hopelessness you sought | before. Now are they underfoot. And you look up and on toward Heaven, |
| W2:227.1 | reality at all by my illusions. Now I give them up and lay them down | before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind. This is |
| W2:WS.2 | his mind had thought of war. There was no need for such a thought | before, for peace was given without opposite and merely was. But when |
| W2:WS.3 | whereon His Word is written, with the gifts of your forgiveness laid | before it and the memory of God not far behind. |
| W2:251.1 | in that one is all I need and only what I need. All that I sought | before I needed not and did not even want. My only need I did not |
| 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 brothers |
| W2:264.1 | Father, You stand | before me and behind, beside me, in the place I see myself, and |
| W2:WIC.3 | rest is dreams. Yet will these dreams be given unto Christ to fade | before His glory and reveal your holy Self, the Christ, to you at |
| W2:WIHS.1 | He provides are dreams all carried to the truth, to be dispelled | before the light of knowledge. There are sights and sounds forever |
| W2:WIHS.1 | sights and sounds forever laid aside. And where they were perceived | before, forgiveness has made possible perception's tranquil end. |
| W2:287.1 | What could be a substitute for happiness? What gift could I prefer | before the peace of God? What treasure would I seek and find and keep |
| W2:293.2 | holds safe from all past mistakes. And I would see only this world | before my eyes today. |
| W2:300.1 | are the certain lot of all who come here. For their joys are gone | before they are possessed, or even grasped. Yet this is also the idea |
| W2:305.1 | that the world contains no counterpart. Comparisons are still | before this peace. And all the world departs in silence as this peace |
| W2:320.1 | can never be denied because his Father shines upon his mind and lays | before it all the strength and love in earth and Heaven. I am he to |
| W2:WICR.2 | not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it was | before the thought of time began. |
| W2:325.1 | Son of God, to offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while | before he journeys on and help his brothers walk ahead with him and |
| W2:WIE.2 | at the figures in its dreams, its enemies who seek to murder it | before it can ensure its safety by attacking them. |
| W2:WIE.4 | of God is offered daily at its darkened shrine and blood must flow | before the altar where its sickly followers prepare to die. |
| W2:WIM.2 | its ways. A miracle inverts perception which was upside-down | before, and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. |
| W2:WIM.3 | offers all the world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid | before the Word of God upon the universal altar to Creator and |
| W2:WIM.4 | in it and show it rested on a world more real than what you saw | before—a world redeemed from what you thought you saw. |
| W2:342.1 | I have reached the door beyond which lies the end of dreams. I stand | before the gate of Heaven, wondering if I should enter in and be at |
| W2:WAI.5 | Now is he redeemed. And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open | before him, he will enter in and disappear into the Heart of God. |
| W2:E.2 | as certain of arriving home as is the pathway of the sun laid down | before it rises, after it has set, and in the half-lit hours in |
| M:1.3 | any place or time or manner. It does not matter who the teacher was | before he heard the Call. He has become a savior by his answering. He |
| M:2.4 | together in the present, finding each other as if they had not met | before. The pupil comes at the right time to the right place. This is |
| M:3.5 | for life. Yet should they decide to learn it, the perfect lesson is | before them and can be learned. And if they decide to learn that |
| M:4.4 | in the shabby offerings of the ego when the gifts of God are laid | before him? What is it that induces them to make the shift? |
| M:4.6 | it. He will find that many if not most of the things he valued | before will merely hinder his ability to transfer what he has learned |
| M:4.8 | mighty companions beside him. Now he rests a while and gathers them | before going on. He will not go on from here alone. |
| M:4.10 | that learning is consolidated. Now what was seen as merely shadows | before becomes solid gains, to be counted on in all “emergencies” as |
| M:4.16 | God's teachers trust in Him. And they are sure His Teacher goes | before them, making sure no harm can come to them. They hold His |
| M:4.24 | formerly. Nothing but sparkles now which seemed so dull and lifeless | before. And above all are all things welcoming, for threat is gone. |
| M:6.2 | Where healing has been given, it will be received. And what is time | before the gifts of God? We have referred many times in the text to |
| M:8.6 | others, and the body's eyes will report their changed appearances as | before. But the mind will put them all in one category—they are |
| M:11.4 | turns hell to Heaven merely by being what it is? The earth bows down | before its gracious Presence, and it leans down in answer to raise it |
| M:13.1 | can finally disappear. The first illusion, which must be displaced | before another thought system can take hold, is that it is a |
| M:16.1 | set and sees the road on which he walks stretch surely and smoothly | before him. |
| M:16.5 | early in the evening if it is not feasible for you to take it just | before going to sleep. It is not wise to lie down for it. It is |
| M:16.5 | come to some conclusions in this respect. If possible, however, just | before going to sleep is a desirable time to devote to God. It sets |
| M:16.7 | the teacher of God who has accepted His protection! All that he did | before in the name of safety no longer interests him. For he is safe |
| M:16.7 | difficulty in resolving them. He is as safe in the present as he was | before illusions were accepted into his mind and as he will be when |
| M:19.3 | about the past stem from injustice. Here is the lens which, held | before the body's eyes, distorts perception and brings witness of the |
| M:19.5 | it is entirely impartial. It accepts all evidence that is brought | before it, omitting nothing and assessing nothing as separate and |
| M:20.2 | unlike all previous experiences. It calls to mind nothing that went | before. It brings with it no past associations. It is a new thing |
| M:22.2 | teacher of God may have accepted the function God has given him long | before he has learned all that his acceptance holds out to him. It is |
| M:27.1 | losing vitality, and dying in the end? We have asked this question | before, but now we need to consider it still more carefully. It is |
| M:28.6 | because he let God's Voice proclaim the truth. And all he sought | before to crucify are resurrected with him, by his side as he |

| Tx:5.19 | The Atonement and the separation | began at the same time. When man made the ego, God placed in him the |

| Tx:29.68 | everyone remembers, though he has not heard it since before all time | began. Forgiveness, once complete, brings timelessness so close the |

| Tx:31.6 | lessons being taught to you in every moment of each day, since time | began and learning had been made? |
| Tx:31.97 | in calm eternity. The journey closes, ending at the place where it | began. No trace of it remains. Not one illusion is accorded faith, |

| W1:191.10 | dark and ancient caverns where the rites of death echoed since time | began. For time has lost its hold upon the world. The Son of God has |

| W1:R2.1 | We are now ready for another review. We will | begin where our last review left off and cover two ideas each day. |
| W1:R2.2 | this general form: take about 15 minutes for each of them, and | begin by thinking about the idea and the comments which are included |
| W1:91.6 | Begin the longer practice periods with this statement of true cause | |
| W1:93.8 | if done for the first five minutes of every waking hour, we will | begin by stating the truth about our creation: |
| W1:94.3 | minutes of each waking hour to the attempt to feel the truth in you. | Begin these times of searching with these words: |
| W1:95.12 | the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true. | Begin the practice periods today with this assurance, given to your |
| W1:96.11 | Begin by saying this: | |
| W1:97.8 | Begin these happy exercises with the words the Holy Spirit speaks to | |
| W1:100.8 | Begin the exercises with the thought today's idea contains. Then | |
| W1:102.4 | Begin the longer practice periods today with this acceptance of God's | |
| W1:103.5 | Begin your periods of practicing today with this association, which | |
| W1:104.4 | the hourly five minutes given truth for your salvation, should | begin with this: |
| W1:105.7 | Today our practice periods will start a little differently. | Begin today by thinking of those brothers who have been denied by you |
| W1:106.8 | you understand it now, but as it is. Each hour's exercises should | begin with this request for your enlightenment: |
| W1:106.10 | whose answer has been waiting long to be received by you. It will | begin the ministry for which you came and which will free the world |
| W1:107.10 | Begin by asking Him Who goes with you upon this undertaking that He | |
| W1:108.8 | So we | begin the practice periods with the instruction for today and say: |
| W1:109.8 | too weary now to go their way alone. And they will hear the bird | begin to sing and see the stream begin to flow again, with hope |
| W1:109.8 | alone. And they will hear the bird begin to sing and see the stream | begin to flow again, with hope reborn and energy restored to walk |
| W1:110.6 | For your five minute practice periods, | begin with this quotation from the text: |
| W1:R3.5 | comments which are written first in each day's exercise. And then | begin to think about them while letting your mind relate them to your |
| W1:R3.13 | that we come from these reviews with learning gains so great that we | begin again on solid ground, with firmer footsteps and with stronger |
| W1:121.10 | Begin the longer practice periods by thinking of someone you do not | |
| W1:122.10 | of an hour to the search in which the end of hell is guaranteed. | Begin in hopefulness, for we have reached the turning point at which |
| W1:122.11 | Sink into happiness as you | begin these practice periods, for they hold out the sure rewards of |
| W1:129.7 | ten minutes in the morning and at night and once more in between. | Begin with this: |
| W1:130.8 | Begin your searching for the other world by asking for a strength | |
| W1:131.12 | This we acknowledge as we start upon our practice periods. | Begin with this: |
| W1:132.13 | is not apart from Him, and nowhere does the Father end, the Son | begin as something separate from Him. |
| W1:132.16 | Begin the 15 minute periods in which we practice twice today with | |
| W1:133.15 | Our two extended practice periods of 15 minutes will | begin with this: |
| W1:133.17 | to the gate of Heaven, which swings open as he comes. Should you | begin to let yourself collect some needless burdens or believe you |
| W1:134.18 | have been practicing thus far in willingness and honesty, you will | begin to sense a lifting up, a lightening of weight across your |
| W1:137.14 | Yet must we be prepared for such a gift. And so we will | begin the day with this and give ten minutes to these thoughts with |
| W1:138.7 | So we | begin today considering the choice that time was made to help us |
| W1:R4.1 | second part of learning how the truth can be applied. Today we will | begin to concentrate on readiness for what will follow next. Such is |
| W1:R4.5 | Let us | begin our preparation with some understanding of the many forms in |

| W1:153.15 | we practice in a form we will maintain for quite a while. We will | begin each day by giving our attention to the daily thought as long |
| W1:153.20 | pause a moment as He tells us, “I am here.” Your practicing will now | begin to take the earnestness of love to help you keep your mind from |

| W1:78.12 | we allow each one we meet to save us and refuse to hide his light | behind our grievances. To everyone you meet and to the ones you think |

| W1:93.11 | with the Self which God created as you by hiding its majesty | behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace |
| W1:99.6 | which brings illusions to the truth, and sees them as appearances | behind which is the changeless and the sure. This is the thought |
| W1:108.1 | is wholly true? Even that one will disappear because the Thought | behind it will appear instead, to take its place. And now we are at |
| W1:108.6 | it always works in every circumstance where it is tried, the thought | behind it can be generalized to other areas of doubt and double |
| W1:R3.3 | yourself in this. Unwillingness can be most carefully concealed | behind a cloak of situations you cannot control. Learn to distinguish |
| W1:122.13 | as you see the changeless in the heart of change, the light of truth | behind appearances. Be tempted not to let your gifts slip by and |

| W1:157.4 | anticipation and in quiet joy wherein you quickly leave the world | behind. |

| Tx:3.65 | it is essentially disheartening. You are not really capable of | being tired, but you are very capable of wearying yourselves. The |

| Tx:4.46 | By perceiving 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:4.48 | the Soul offers you the knowledge of permanence and unshakable | being. No one who has experienced the revelation of this can ever |
| Tx:4.49 | do not love what you have made, and what you made does not love you. | Being made out of the denial of the Father, the ego has no allegiance |
| Tx:4.54 | we made no distinction before between having the Kingdom of God and | being the Kingdom of God. |
| Tx:4.55 | The calm | being of God's Kingdom, which in your sane mind is perfectly |
| Tx:4.59 | need not be. Depression always arises ultimately from a sense of | being deprived of something you want and do not have. Know you are |
| Tx:4.65 | His Mind shone on you in your creation and brought your mind into | being. His Mind still shines on you and must shine through you. Your |
| Tx:4.71 | to be its home. Here is where the mind becomes actually dazed. | Being told by the ego that it is really part of the body and that the |
| Tx:4.74 | accurate perception, a state of clarity which the ego, fearful of | being judged truly, must avoid. |
| Tx:4.82 | no change at all. It is not a continuum nor is it understood by | being compared to an opposite. Knowledge never involves comparisons. |
| Tx:4.82 | is not dangerous except to the ego. Vaguely it senses threat, and | being unable to realize that “a little knowledge” is a meaningless |
| Tx:4.95 | perceives is a separate whole, without the relationships that imply | being. The ego is thus against communication except in so far as it |
| Tx:4.97 | to communicate, even though it may refuse to utilize it on behalf of | being. |
| Tx:4.98 | Existence as well as | being rests on communication. Existence, however, is specific in how, |
| Tx:4.98 | what, and with whom communication is judged to be worth undertaking. | Being is completely without these distinctions. It is a state in |
| Tx:4.99 | God, Who encompasses all | being, nevertheless created beings who have everything individually |
| Tx:4.99 | everything, since it can create only like itself. Remember that in | being there is no difference between “having” and “being” as there is |
| Tx:4.99 | “having” and “being” as there is in existence. In the state of | being, the mind gives everything always. |
| Tx:4.100 | yours is incomplete. And this He does know. He knows it in His own | Being and its experience of His Son's experience. The constant going |
| Tx:4.102 | any mind learns to be wholly helpful. This is impossible without | being wholly harmless because the two beliefs coexist. The truly |
| Tx:5.2 | Those who attempt to heal without | being wholly joyous themselves call forth different kinds of |
| Tx:5.3 | You are | being blessed by every beneficent thought of any of your brothers |
| Tx:5.8 | Thoughts increase by | being given away. The more who believe in them, the stronger they |
| Tx:5.11 | which senses the knowledge that lies beyond perception. It came into | being with the separation as a protection, inspiring the beginning of |
| Tx:5.18 | had no calling until the separation, because before that it had only | being and would not have understood the call to right thinking. The |
| Tx:5.33 | The Holy Spirit is the idea of healing. | Being thought, the idea gains as it is shared. Being the Call for |
| Tx:5.33 | the idea of healing. Being thought, the idea gains as it is shared. | Being the Call for God, it is also the idea of God. Since you are |
| Tx:5.33 | the Universe of which it is a part. Therefore, it is strengthened by | being given away. It increases in you as you give it to your |
| Tx:5.34 | you become aware of the Call for God in him and thus acknowledge its | being. There are two ways of seeing your brother which are |
| Tx:5.35 | to hear it. Will itself is an idea and is therefore strengthened by | being shared. If you make the mistake of looking for the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:5.56 | Ideas do not leave the mind which thought them to have a separate | being, nor do separate thoughts conflict with one another in space, |
| Tx:5.56 | them in the light of the Kingdom, making them, too, worthy of | being shared. When they have been sufficiently purified, He lets you |
| Tx:5.58 | as strong as the wisdom of God, in Whose heart and hands we have our | being. His quiet Children are His blessed Sons. The thoughts of God |
| Tx:5.64 | learn to regard it as freedom. The guiltless mind cannot suffer. | Being sane, it heals the body because it has been healed. The sane |
| Tx:5.76 | is easily explained if you remember that ideas increase only by | being shared. This quotation therefore emphasizes the fact that |
| Tx:5.88 | fixation remained and could never be eliminated by any living human | being. Essentially, this was the basis of Freud's pessimism, |
| Tx:5.89 | is on a level so high that it cannot be surmounted. You are always | being pulled back to your Creator, because you belong to Him. |
| Tx:5.91 | He has not learned that every mind God created is equally worthy of | being healed because God created it whole. You are merely asked to |
| Tx:6.6 | You have reacted for years as if you were | being crucified. This is a marked tendency of the separated ones, who |
| Tx:6.11 | offer to defend me with the sword, which I naturally refused, not | being at all in need of bodily protection. I am sorry when my |
| Tx:6.39 | are not ordinarily regarded as the same. We began with having and | being and more recently have used others. Hearing and being are |
| Tx:6.39 | having and being and more recently have used others. Hearing and | being are examples, to which we can also add teaching and being, |
| Tx:6.39 | and being are examples, to which we can also add teaching and | being, learning and being and, above all, projecting and being. This |
| Tx:6.39 | examples, to which we can also add teaching and being, learning and | being and, above all, projecting and being. This is because, as we |
| Tx:6.39 | and being, learning and being and, above all, projecting and | being. This is because, as we have said before, every idea begins in |
| Tx:6.39 | here, even though the ego does not know and is not concerned with | being at all. |
| Tx:6.40 | He presents no barrier at all to the communication of God. Thus, | being is never threatened. Your Godlike mind can never be defiled. |
| Tx:6.44 | through the conviction of teaching. Remember that, if teaching is | being and learning is being, [then] teaching is learning. Everything |
| Tx:6.44 | of teaching. Remember that, if teaching is being and learning is | being, [then] teaching is learning. Everything you teach, you are |
| Tx:6.51 | never asked. Having finally been wholly answered, it has never been. | Being alone lives in the Kingdom, where everything lives in God |
| Tx:6.52 | only the ability for certainty. The introduction of abilities into | being was the beginning of uncertainty because abilities are |
| Tx:6.56 | did not blot it out, because to eradicate it would be to attack it. | Being questioned, He did not question. He merely gave the Answer. His |
| Tx:6.65 | The Holy Spirit, who leads to God, translates communication into | being, just as He ultimately translates perception into knowledge. |
| Tx:6.73 | the first lesson seems to contain a contradiction since it is | being learned by a conflicted mind. This means conflicting |
| Tx:6.73 | ego in himself and responding primarily to the ego in others, he is | being taught to react to both as if what he does believe is not true. |
| Tx:6.79 | This is still a preliminary step since having and | being are still not equated. It is, however, more advanced than the |
| Tx:6.83 | is because they are in fundamental disagreement about everything, | being in fundamental disagreement about what you are. The ego's |
| Tx:6.89 | for God. He is getting you ready for the translation of having into | being by the very nature of the steps you must take with Him. |
| Tx:6.91 | speaks only for belief beyond question, which is the preparation for | being without question. As long as belief in God and His Kingdom is |
| Tx:6.93 | does. It is only your awareness which needs protection since your | being cannot be assailed. Yet a real sense of being cannot be yours |
| Tx:6.93 | protection since your being cannot be assailed. Yet a real sense of | being cannot be yours while you are doubtful of what you are. This is |
| Tx:6.93 | of what you are. This is why vigilance is essential. Doubts about | being must not enter your mind, or you cannot know what you are with |
| Tx:6.95 | it. Only this can cancel out the need for effort and call upon the | being which you both have and are. This recognition is wholly without |
| Tx:7.3 | to love. Love extends outward simply because it cannot be contained. | Being limitless, it does not stop. It creates forever, but not in |
| Tx:7.6 | must know yourself, since by it you know what you are. This is your | being. |
| Tx:7.8 | What is timeless is always there, because its | being is eternally changeless. It does not change by increase, |
| Tx:7.14 | belief. There is only certainty. God and His Sons, in the surety of | being, know that what you project you are. That form of the law is |
| Tx:7.14 | you project you are. That form of the law is not adapted at all, | being the law of creation. God Himself created the law by creating by |
| Tx:7.24 | one lesson and applies it to all individuals in all situations. | Being conflict-free, He maximizes all efforts and all results. By |
| Tx:7.27 | The ego, then, is always | being undone and does suspect your motives. Your mind cannot be |
| Tx:7.29 | Reality is yours, because you are reality. This is how having and | being are ultimately reconciled, not in the Kingdom, but in your |
| Tx:7.36 | of healing. Healing is the way to undo the belief in differences, | being the only way of perceiving the Sonship without this belief. |
| Tx:7.38 | is nothing else. God is all in all in a very literal sense. All | being is in Him who is all Being. You are therefore in Him since your |
| Tx:7.38 | all in all in a very literal sense. All being is in Him who is all | Being. You are therefore in Him since your being is His. Healing is a |
| Tx:7.38 | is in Him who is all Being. You are therefore in Him since your | being is His. Healing is a way of forgetting the sense of danger the |
| Tx:7.38 | Love needs only this invitation. It comes freely to all the Sonship, | being what the Sonship is. By your awakening to it, you are merely |
| Tx:7.46 | separate your self from your Creator, Who created you by sharing His | being with you. |
| Tx:7.55 | is, it cannot perceive itself as loving. This loses the awareness of | being, induces feelings of unreality, and results in utter confusion. |
| Tx:7.57 | as threatened by projecting the threat onto you and perceiving your | being as nonexistent. This ensures its continuance if you side with |
| Tx:7.64 | understand is up to you to decide. The ego believes this totally, | being fully committed to it. It is not true. The ego therefore is |
| Tx:7.65 | can be perceived with meaning only by the Holy Spirit, because your | being is the knowledge of God. Any belief that you accept which is |
| Tx:7.66 | are believing that it can be understood and is therefore capable of | being appreciated and loved. That would justify it, and it cannot be |
| Tx:7.69 | it is God's, and nothing that opposes this means anything at all. | Being a perfect accomplishment, the Sonship can only accomplish |
| Tx:7.71 | in this world. Yet denial is a defense, and so it is as capable of | being used positively as it is of being used destructively. Used |
| Tx:7.71 | and so it is as capable of being used positively as it is of | being used destructively. Used negatively it will be destructive |
| Tx:7.75 | the gift you both have and are, and so you do not know your | being. All confusion comes from not extending life, since that is not |
| Tx:7.79 | Being the part of your mind which does not believe it is responsible | |
| Tx:7.79 | of your mind which does not believe it is responsible for itself and | being without allegiance to God, the ego is incapable of trust. |
| Tx:7.90 | doubt as it is beyond belief. Your wholeness has no limits, because | being is in infinity. |
| Tx:7.91 | partiality, and it therefore responds as if it were the part that is | being sided against. To the Soul, this is truth, because it knows its |
| Tx:7.92 | is given all His power, because it is part of Him and shares His | Being with Him. Creating is the opposite of loss, as blessing is the |
| Tx:7.92 | is the opposite of loss, as blessing is the opposite of sacrifice. | Being must be extended. That is how it retains the knowledge of |
| Tx:7.93 | The Soul yearns to share its | being as its Creator did. Created by sharing, its will is to create. |
| Tx:7.93 | will is to create. It does not wish to contain God but to extend His | Being. The extension of God's Being is the Soul's only function. Its |
| Tx:7.93 | wish to contain God but to extend His Being. The extension of God's | Being is the Soul's only function. Its fullness cannot be contained |
| Tx:7.93 | reality than your unawareness of your Soul can interfere with its | being. |
| Tx:7.95 | whenever you will let Him. They are there as part of your own | being, because your fulfillment includes them. The creations of every |
| Tx:7.95 | every Son of God are yours since every creation belongs to everyone, | being created for the Sonship as a whole. |
| Tx:7.106 | are denying joy. The miracle is therefore a lesson in what joy is. | Being a lesson in sharing, it is a lesson in love, which is joy. |
| Tx:7.107 | world and is therefore natural. The world goes against your nature, | being out of accord with God's laws. The world perceives orders of |
| Tx:7.113 | any more than you can establish God's. But you can know both. | Being is known by sharing. Because God shared His Being with you, you |
| Tx:7.113 | you can know both. Being is known by sharing. Because God shared His | Being with you, you can know Him. But you must also know all He |
| Tx:8.17 | its accomplishment, because God's Will cannot be forced upon you, | being an experience of total willingness. The Holy Spirit knows how |
| Tx:8.17 | as God shares them, because this is the natural outcome of their | being. |
| Tx:8.25 | be refusing to acknowledge His Will. His Will does not vacillate, | being changeless forever. When you are not at peace, it can only be |
| Tx:8.27 | to 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 |
| Tx:8.32 | dominion of one will over another. God's Sons are equal in will, all | being the Will of their Father. This is the only lesson I came to |
| Tx:8.34 | Freedom is the only gift you can offer to God's Sons, | being an acknowledgment of what they are and what He is. Freedom is |
| Tx:8.36 | whose power is far beyond the power of its separate parts. By not | being separate, the Will of God is established in ours and as ours. |
| Tx:8.36 | undivided. The undivided will of the Sonship is the perfect creator, | being wholly in the likeness of God, Whose Will it is. You cannot be |
| Tx:8.50 | of the value He puts upon you. My devotion to you is of Him, | being born of my knowledge of myself and Him. We cannot be separated. |
| Tx:8.50 | His Sons with Himself. Can you be separated from your life and your | being? |
| Tx:8.54 | Holy Spirit interprets the body only as a means of communication. | Being the communication link between God and His separated Sons, the |
| Tx:8.60 | learn. His sense of adequacy suffers, and he must become depressed. | Being faced with an impossible learning situation, regardless of why |
| Tx:8.70 | inferior is that they may well be inaccurate. Functions are part of | being since they arise from it, but the relationship is not |
| Tx:8.77 | ego that is wholly true. But there is a corollary; if knowledge is | being and the ego has no knowledge, then the ego has no being. |
| Tx:8.77 | knowledge is being and the ego has no knowledge, then the ego has no | being. |
| Tx:8.79 | life under the guidance of the one Teacher Who knows what life is, | being the Voice for Life Itself. |
| Tx:8.86 | which should be taken literally because the Bible is about love, | being about God. |
| Tx:8.100 | of a request. The Holy Spirit is not concerned with form at all, | being aware only of meaning. The ego cannot ask the Holy Spirit for |
| Tx:8.100 | for everything of the Holy Spirit because your requests are real, | being of your will. Would the Holy Spirit deny the Will of God? And |
| Tx:8.102 | you will not know it because your cooperation is the law of its | being. You cannot change laws you did not make, and the laws of |
| Tx:8.117 | have. What you give is therefore the value you put on what you have, | being the exact measure of the value you put upon it. And this, in |
| Tx:9.6 | You will not escape paying the price for this, not because you are | being punished for it, but because you are following the wrong guide |
| Tx:9.28 | but he cannot bring light of himself, for light is not of him. Yet, | being for him, it must also be for his patient. The Holy Spirit is |
| Tx:9.29 | work. Nothing else works at all. This course is a guide to behavior. | Being a very direct and very simple learning situation, it provides |
| Tx:9.37 | Eternity is one time, its only dimension | being “always.” This cannot mean anything to you, however, until you |
| Tx:9.53 | awareness since both are untrue and are therefore on the same level. | Being the level of shift, it is experienced as shifting, and extremes |
| Tx:9.58 | in littleness with His own exalted answer to the question of your | being, so that you can cease to question it and know it for what it |
| Tx:9.61 | exceed your will? Nothing can reach you from beyond it because, | being in God, you encompass everything. Believe this, and you will |
| Tx:9.66 | that reality is in accord with neither? You do not remember | being awake. When you hear the Holy Spirit, you merely feel better |
| Tx:9.67 | Dreams will be impossible, because you will want only truth, and | being at last your will, it will be yours. |
| Tx:9.100 | to acknowledge you and that in His acknowledgment of you lies your | Being. You are not sick, and you cannot die. But you can confuse |
| Tx:10.11 | then, that you will to create since your will follows from His. And | being an extension of His Will, yours must be the same. |
| Tx:10.16 | and Son because he is both Father and Son. To unite having and | being is only to unite your will with His, for He wills you Himself. |
| Tx:10.18 | will seem to be unintegrated and therefore without meaning. And | being without meaning to you, you will not understand it. To deny |
| Tx:10.23 | there is no conflict in Him. Conflict is the root of all evil, for | being blind, it does not see whom it attacks. Yet it always attacks |
| Tx:10.44 | its results is merely to recognize that their source is not natural, | being out of accord with your true nature. We once said that to will |
| Tx:10.70 | he is separate. Yet they are eternal because they are loving. And | being loving, they are like the Father and therefore cannot die. The |
| Tx:10.71 | create unlike your Father, believing what you made to be capable of | being unlike Him. Yet everything in what you have made that is true |
| Tx:10.82 | His Son, whom He created free and whose freedom is protected by His | Being. |
| Tx:10.84 | in God's Son, for thereby you must be deceived in yourself. And | being deceived in yourself, you are deceived in your Father in Whom |
| Tx:11.38 | obvious that no one wants to find what would utterly defeat him. | Being unable to love, the ego would be totally inadequate in love's |
| Tx:11.59 | Every Child of God is one in Christ, for his | Being is in Christ as Christ's is in God. Christ's love for you is |
| Tx:11.60 | in perfect love of God and of each other. Heaven is your home, and | being in God, it must also be in you. |
| Tx:11.62 | know it must be there. By perceiving what it does, you recognize its | being. And by what it does, you learn what it is. You cannot see your |
| Tx:11.80 | minds and cannot be obliterated. It is no more past than future, | being forever always. |
| Tx:11.83 | is a thing of despair, for it can never be. And you who share God's | Being with Him could never be content without reality. What God did |
| Tx:11.84 | only perception is capable of error, and perception has never been. | Being corrected, it gives place to knowledge, which is forever the |
| Tx:11.85 | For the mind that judges perceives itself as separate from the mind | being judged, believing that by punishing another, it will escape |
| Tx:11.93 | prison he has made, and the way to find release is not denied him. | Being in him, he has found it. When he finds it is only a matter of |
| Tx:11.94 | know that you are God's Son. You have denied the condition of his | Being, which is his perfect blamelessness. Out of love he was |
| Tx:11.95 | no time to travel through. For God waits not for His Son in time, | being forever unwilling to be without him. And so it has always been. |
| Tx:11.97 | and what he is in truth. For God has never condemned His Son, and | being guiltless, he is eternal. |
| Tx:11.98 | of dispelling it. The ego believes in atonement through attack, | being fully committed to the insane notion that attack is salvation. |
| Tx:11.99 | He looks upon the guiltless Son of God, he knows this is true. And | being true for you, you cannot attack yourself, for without guilt, |
| Tx:11.99 | impossible. You, then, are saved because God's Son is guiltless. And | being wholly pure, you are invulnerable. |
| Tx:12.33 | love and fear. One is changeless but continually exchanged, | being offered by the eternal to the eternal. In this exchange it is |
| Tx:12.34 | and that they are not whole. For these figures have no witnesses, | being perceived in one separate mind only. |
| Tx:12.62 | And what you call with love will come to you. Love always answers, | being unable to deny a call for help or not to hear the cries of pain |
| Tx:12.63 | recognized. Christ is still there, although you know Him not. His | Being does not depend upon your recognition. He lives within you in |
| Tx:12.66 | in time, and it will fade. But this one thing is always yours, | being the gift of God unto His Son. Your one reality was given you, |
| Tx:13.2 | and therefore no aspect is separate. You are an aspect of knowledge, | being in the Mind of God, Who knows you. All knowledge must be yours, |
| Tx:13.4 | the Holy Spirit has no function. He is not separate from either, | being in the mind of both and knowing that mind is one. He is a |
| Tx:13.6 | Reality that is his Father. Christ's vision is His gift to you. His | Being is His Father's gift to Him. |
| Tx:13.13 | The world can give you only what you gave it, for | being nothing but your own projection, it has no meaning apart from |
| Tx:13.38 | shared. Perfect perception can merely show you what is capable of | being wholly shared. It can also show you the results of sharing |
| Tx:13.66 | only guiltlessness allays. Learning is living here, as creating is | being in Heaven. Whenever the pain of guilt seems to attract you, |
| Tx:13.71 | one can hurt the Son of God. His guilt is wholly without cause, and | being without cause, cannot exist. |
| Tx:13.76 | He created, for it is wholly pure. Do not decide against it, for | being of Him, it must be true. Peace abides in every mind that |
| Tx:13.92 | There is no effort, and you will be led as gently as if you were | being carried along a quiet path in summer. Only your own volition |
| Tx:14.18 | They do not protect; neither do they attack. They do nothing at all, | being nothing at all. As guardians of darkness and of ignorance, look |
| Tx:14.25 | be neither lost nor sought nor found. It is there, wherever you are, | being within you. Yet it can be recognized or unrecognized, real or |
| Tx:14.40 | Merely by | being what it is does truth release you from everything that it is |
| Tx:14.47 | one. The miracle is the one thing you can do that transcends order, | being based not on differences but on equality. |
| Tx:14.51 | also why everyone shares in it. The power of God is limitless. And | being always maximal, it offers everything to every call from anyone. |
| Tx:14.56 | everything of Him is perfectly open and freely accessible to all, | being for all. Nothing lives in secret, and what you would hide from |
| Tx:14.67 | that God lose His Identity, for if He did, you would lose yours. And | being yours, He cannot change Himself, for your identity is |
| Tx:15.16 | The Atonement is in time but not for time. | Being in you, it is eternal. What holds remembrance of God cannot be |
| Tx:15.17 | of peace is eternal because it is wholly without fear. It will come, | being the lesson God gives you through the Teacher He has appointed |
| Tx:15.42 | For the holy instant is given and received with equal willingness, | being the acceptance of the single will that governs all thought. |
| Tx:15.65 | love. This is the only love that is fully given and fully returned. | Being complete, it asks nothing. Being wholly pure, everyone joined |
| Tx:15.65 | is fully given and fully returned. Being complete, it asks nothing. | Being wholly pure, everyone joined in it has everything. This is not |
| Tx:15.82 | yours. Your relationships are with the universe. And this universe, | being of God, is far beyond the petty sum of all the separate bodies |
| Tx:15.90 | His attraction for you remains unlimited, but because your power, | being His, is as great as His, you can turn away from love. What you |
| Tx:15.98 | you are both destroyer and destroyed in part, but with the idea of | being able to be neither completely. And this you think saves you |
| Tx:15.100 | You will not succeed in | being partial hostage to the ego, for it keeps no bargains and would |
| Tx:15.100 | just as it is that makes the decision so easy! Salvation is simple, | being of God and therefore very easy to understand. Do not try to |
| Tx:15.105 | in the reality of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds attack, | being the belief that attack is justified. And as long as you would |

| Tx:16.28 | of Heaven and by the united will of all who make Heaven what it is, | being joined within it. And so the one who would cross over is |
| Tx:16.43 | spoken of this before, but there are some aspects of what is really | being attempted that we have not touched upon. |
| Tx:16.45 | to be the unnatural ones. For this world is the opposite of Heaven, | being made to be its opposite, and everything here takes a direction |
| Tx:16.46 | the ego would never have you see that separation can only be loss, | being the one condition in which Heaven cannot be. |
| Tx:16.76 | and your illusions of time will not prevent the timeless from | being what it is nor you from experiencing it as it is. |
| Tx:17.17 | whom vengeance is really sought are centered on and separated off as | being the only parts of value. Every step taken in the making, the |
| Tx:17.36 | marshaled to defend you from your own attack. For you attack Them, | being part of Them, and They must save you, for They love Themselves. |
| Tx:17.48 | of faith. Do not abandon faith, now that the rewards of faith are | being introduced. If you believed the Holy Spirit was there to accept |
| Tx:17.63 | except in fantasy. Truth has not come because faith has been denied, | being withheld from where it rightfully belonged. Thus do you lose |
| Tx:17.65 | been done and where you see it done. A situation is a relationship, | being the joining of thoughts. If problems are perceived, it is |
| Tx:18.2 | indivisible. He does not judge between them, knowing they are one. | Being united, they are one because they are the same. Substitution is |
| Tx:18.21 | gratitude! Or mine through His! For we are joined as in one purpose, | being of one mind with Him. |
| Tx:18.53 | at all. And what God created is only what He would have it be, | being His Will. You cannot make His Will destructive. You can make |
| Tx:18.55 | prison, removed and unreachable, incapable of reaching out as | being reached. You hate this prison you have made and would destroy |
| Tx:18.58 | encompasses? Everyone has experienced what he would call a sense of | being transported beyond himself. This feeling of liberation far |
| Tx:18.74 | thinks it is in no way changes its total dependence on them for its | being. Its whole existence still remains in them. Without the sun the |
| Tx:18.76 | from its Creator. This little aspect is no different from the whole, | being continuous with it and at one with it. It leads no separate |
| Tx:18.76 | leads no separate life because its life is the oneness in which its | being was created. |
| Tx:18.86 | How is this done? It is extremely simple, | being based on what this little kingdom really is. The barren sands, |
| Tx:19.3 | not there, hearing what truth has never said, and behaving insanely, | being imprisoned by insanity. |
| Tx:19.4 | to him has separated you from him and kept you both apart from | being healed. Your faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy Spirit's |
| Tx:19.16 | you do to you. Whom God created as His Son is slave to nothing, | being lord of all along with his Creator. You can enslave a body, but |
| Tx:19.16 | Creator. You can enslave a body, but an idea is free, incapable of | being kept in prison or limited in any way except by the mind that |
| Tx:19.49 | only to love.] Overlooking guilt completely, it sees no fear. | Being wholly without attack, it could not be afraid. Fear is |
| Tx:20.28 | power to their seeming source. Thus would He keep you free of them. | Being without illusion of what you are, the Holy Spirit merely gives |
| Tx:20.58 | Spirit's goal will come from the same Source as does His purpose. | Being so simple and direct, this course has nothing in it that is not |
| Tx:21.13 | of mind by which the crucifixion is changed to resurrection. And | being true, it is so simple that it cannot fail to be completely |
| Tx:21.53 | Therefore, what joined the Will of God must be in you now, | being eternal. You must have set aside a place in which the Holy |
| Tx:21.64 | alone. But neither can accept a miracle instead without the other | being blessed by it and healed of pain. |
| Tx:21.67 | was given love by Love. And what Love plans is like Itself in this: | being united, It would have you learn what you must be. And being one |
| Tx:21.67 | in this: being united, It would have you learn what you must be. And | being one with It, it must be given you to give what It has given and |
| Tx:21.70 | your misery comes from the strange belief that you are powerless? | Being helpless is the cost of sin. Helplessness is sin's condition— |
| Tx:21.88 | for it but once to have it always. 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 |
| Tx:22.5 | And where, you wonder, does your strange uneasiness, your sense of | being disconnected, and your haunting fear of lack of meaning in |
| Tx:22.13 | Son to the unworthy. Nothing but what is part of Him is worthy of | being joined. Nor is it possible that anything not part of Him can |
| Tx:22.21 | impossible, and no one undertakes to do what holds no hope of ever | being done. You know what your Creator wills is possible, but what |
| Tx:22.64 | Joy is unlimited because each shining thought of love extends its | being and creates more of itself. There is no difference anywhere in |
| Tx:23.1 | the belief in weakness, and what is weak is not the Will of God. | Being opposed to it, it is its “enemy.” And God is feared as an |
| Tx:23.9 | as meaningless as one or as a thousand. The ego joins with nothing, | being nothing. The victory it seeks is meaningless as is itself. |
| Tx:23.13 | fight against the truth. Illusions battle only with themselves. | Being fragmented, they fragment. But truth is indivisible and far |
| Tx:23.15 | it is His home. And you who are beloved of Him are no illusions, | being as true and holy as Himself. |
| Tx:23.22 | which God Himself is powerless to overcome. Sin cannot be remitted, | being the belief the Son of God can make mistakes for which his own |
| Tx:24.6 | and this must come from someone “better,” someone incapable of | being like what he condemns, “above” it, sinless by comparison with |
| Tx:24.53 | Voice that speaks for God in everything that lives and shares His | Being. |
| Tx:24.68 | a Son. Yet must this Son have been created like Himself. A perfect | being, all-encompassing and all-encompassed, nothing to add and |
| Tx:25.20 | you. And He is glad and thankful when you thank His perfect Son for | being what he is. And all His thanks and gladness shine on you who |
| Tx:25.30 | cannot change. What has been damned is damned and damned forever, | being forever unforgivable. If then it is forgiven, sin's perception |
| Tx:25.43 | it 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 |
| Tx:25.58 | him his sanity and stands between him and whatever hope he has of | being sane. Nor is he left without escape from madness, for he has a |
| Tx:25.66 | in the total cost, the greater his, the less is yours. And justice, | being blind, is satisfied by being paid, it matters not by whom. Can |
| Tx:25.66 | his, the less is yours. And justice, being blind, is satisfied by | being paid, it matters not by whom. Can this be justice? God knows |
| Tx:25.71 | punishment. But vengeance without love has gained in strength by | being separate and apart from love. And what but vengeance now can |
| Tx:27.10 | of fear or love. For now it witnesses to nothing yet, its purpose | being open and the mind made free again to choose what it is for. Now |
| Tx:27.25 | the fact that every thought extends because that is its purpose, | being what it really is. From an idea of self as two, there comes a |
| Tx:27.27 | goal divided and distinct for each of you preserves your Self from | being made aware of any function other than Its own. And thus is |
| Tx:27.47 | who could have saved it but stepped back because he was afraid of | being healed? The eyes of all the dying bring reproach, and suffering |
| Tx:27.48 | is there received is left behind on your returning to the world. And | being blessed, you will bring blessing. Life is given you to give the |
| Tx:27.63 | Now you are | being shown you can escape. All that is needed is you look upon the |
| Tx:27.83 | you thought you did. Except that now you think that what you did is | being done to you. The guilt for what you thought is being placed |
| Tx:27.83 | what you did is being done to you. The guilt for what you thought is | being placed outside yourself and on a guilty world which dreams your |
| Tx:28.1 | merely takes away. And what it takes away is long since gone, but | being kept in memory, appears to have immediate effects. This world |
| Tx:28.2 | not desire its effects? Remembering is as selective as perception, | being its past tense. It is perception of the past as if it were |
| Tx:28.28 | a miracle, you do not add your dream of fear to one that is already | being dreamed. Without support, the dream will fade away without |
| Tx:28.45 | all. How holy is the smallest grain of sand when it is recognized as | being part of the completed picture of God's Son! The forms the |
| Tx:28.61 | apart from it. For healing will be one or not at all, its oneness | being where the healing lies. What could correct for separation but |
| Tx:29.9 | to find a loss of self in finding God? Yet can your Self be lost by | being found? |
| Tx:29.11 | have accepted healing's Cause, and so it must be you are healed. And | being healed, the power to heal must also now be yours. The miracle |
| Tx:29.17 | you. And what is gone from Him becomes your god, protecting you from | being part of Him. |
| Tx:29.34 | they have left their hold on every vain illusion of the world. And | being empty, they received instead a brother's hand in which |
| Tx:29.48 | All idols of this world were made to keep the truth within from | being known to you and to maintain allegiance to the dream that you |
| Tx:29.56 | out. It merely lifts the veil and lets the truth shine unencumbered, | being what it is. It does not need belief to be itself, for it has |
| Tx:29.60 | establish you as more than God. But you will never be content with | being less. |
| Tx:29.68 | the mind from what it thinks. They do not seek to prove the dream is | being dreamed by someone else. And in these dreams a melody is heard |
| Tx:30.14 | your opposition. For you have already gotten angry, and your fear of | being answered in a different way from what your version of the |
| Tx:30.20 | against the sense of opposition and reminds you that help is not | being thrust upon you but is something that you want and that you |
| Tx:30.21 | this point is reached, you will believe your happiness depends on | being right. But this much reason have you now attained—you would |
| Tx:30.24 | been obscured by the insane belief you want it for the goal of | being right when you are wrong. Thus is the readiness for asking |
| Tx:30.38 | Idols are quite specific. But your will is universal, | being limitless. And so it has no form nor is content for its |
| Tx:30.41 | Your will to be complete is but God's Will, and this is given you by | being His. God knows not form. He cannot answer you in terms which |
| Tx:30.70 | to attack that has been made. And thus is pardon inappropriate, by | being granted where it is not due. |
| Tx:30.71 | a real attack that calls for punishment. Salvation does not lie in | being asked to make unnatural responses which are inappropriate to |
| Tx:30.71 | Forgiveness is the only sane response. It keeps your rights from | being sacrificed. |
| Tx:30.77 | have been kept outside. Forgiveness rests on recognizing this and | being glad there cannot be some forms of sickness which the miracle |
| Tx:31.6 | and incredible in difficulty, will withstand the simple lessons | being taught to you in every moment of each day, since time began and |
| Tx:31.13 | need be laid for bringing in the new. There is an ancient battle | being waged against the truth, but truth does not respond. Who could |
| Tx:31.38 | for different forms of truth. And this would keep the truth from | being reached. |

| W1:7.9 | are you merely reviewing your past experiences of picking up a cup, | being thirsty, drinking from a cup, feeling the rim of a cup against |
| W1:11.2 | or so to be spent in using the idea, merely repeat it to yourself, | being sure to do so without haste and with no sense of urgency or |
| W1:16.3 | In addition to never | being idle, salvation requires that you recognize that every thought |
| W1:20.1 | world depends on it. Yet you will not see if you regard yourself as | being coerced and if you give in to resentment and opposition. |
| W1:23.9 | periods, be sure to include both your thoughts of attacking and of | being attacked. Their effects are exactly the same because they are |
| W1:23.9 | you see. When you finally realize that thoughts of attack and of | being attacked are not different, you will be ready to let the cause |
| W1:27.2 | may be a great temptation to believe that some sort of sacrifice is | being asked of you when you say you want to see above all else. If |
| W1:39.4 | Your holiness is the answer to every question that was ever asked, is | being asked now, or will be asked in the future. Your holiness means |
| W1:40.1 | begin to assert some of the happy things to which you are entitled, | being what you are. No long practice periods are required today, but |
| W1:40.3 | and then add several of the attributes which you associate with | being a Son of God, applying them to yourself. One practice period |
| W1:44.1 | and darkness cannot coexist, but light and life must go together, | being but different aspects of creation. |
| W1:45.3 | cannot have left. What is thought by the Mind of God is eternal, | being part of creation. |
| W1:50.1 | —pills, money, “protective” clothing, “influence,” “prestige,” | being liked, knowing the “right” people, and an endless list of forms |
| W1:51.4 | and loved. I can exchange what I see now for this merely by | being willing to do so. Is not this a better choice than the one I |
| W1:63.2 | and leave the Son of God in hell. This is no idle request that is | being asked of you. You are asked to accept salvation that it may be |
| W1:65.10 | You need not use these exact words, but try to get a sense of | being willing to have your illusions of purpose be replaced by truth. |
| W1:66.10 | must be the gift of the ego. Does the ego really have gifts to give, | being itself an illusion and offering only the illusion of gifts? |
| W1:69.7 | are doing the exercises properly, you will begin to feel a sense of | being lifted up and carried ahead. Your little effort and small |
| W1:91.8 | be revealed to you. The belief you are a body calls for correction, | being a mistake. The truth of what you are calls on the strength in |
| W1:92.11 | as often as we can the idea for today and recognize that we are | being introduced to sight and led away from darkness to the light, |
| W1:93.1 | would rush to death by your own hand, living on after seeing this | being impossible. |
| W1:96.1 | both good and evil, loving and hating, mind and body. This sense of | being split into opposites induces feelings of acute and constant |
| W1:98.6 | promise of complete success. And since time has no meaning, you are | being asked for nothing in return for everything. Here is a bargain |
| W1:103.1 | it, nor can it be experienced where love is not. Love has no limits, | being everywhere. And therefore joy is everywhere as well. Yet can |
| W1:103.2 | no reality in truth, bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting | being Love, He must be joy. |
| W1:103.4 | God, | being Love, is also happiness. To fear Him is to be afraid of joy. |
| W1:103.6 | fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the place of pain. God | being Love, it will be given you. Bolster this expectation frequently |
| W1:103.7 | God, | being Love, is also happiness. And it is happiness I seek today. I |
| W1:104.3 | we but unite our will with what God wills and recognize the same as | being one. |

| W1:117.5 | God, | being Love, is also happiness. |
| W1:130.4 | them up. Yet love can have no enemy, and so they have no cause, no | being, and no consequence. They can be valued but remain unreal. They |
| W1:131.2 | can they lead? And what could they achieve that offers any hope of | being real? |
| W1:133.13 | All things are valuable or valueless, worthy or not of | being sought at all, entirely desirable or not worth the slightest |

| W1:138.6 | world, Heaven appears to take the form of choice rather than merely | being what it is. Of all the choices you have tried to make, this is |
| W1:139.3 | answer him? He merely states that he is not himself and therefore, | being something else, becomes a questioner of what that something is. |
| W1:R4.5 | they are—defenses which protect your unforgiving thoughts from | being seen and recognized. Their purpose is to show you something |
| W1:156.1 | of sin impossible. It promises there is no cause for guilt, and | being causeless it does not exist. It follows surely from the basic |
| W1:157.6 | Your body will be sanctified today, its only purpose | being now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to |
| W1:161.5 | for symbols can stand for the meaningless. Love needs no symbols, | being true. But fear attaches to specifics, being false. |

| W1:186.8 | laugh or weep and greet the day with welcome or with tears. Our very | being seems to change as we experience a thousand shifts in mood, and |
| W1:191.11 | There is nothing that you cannot do. You play the game of death, of | being helpless, pitifully tied to dissolution in a world which shows |
| W1:192.3 | meaning here. Forgiveness is the closest it can come to earth. For | being Heaven-borne, it has no form at all. Yet God created One Who |
| W1:195.8 | for you will see that everything has earned the right to love by | being loving, even as your Self. |
| W1:195.10 | is the Source of all creation. God gives thanks to you, His Son, for | being what you are—His own completion and the source of love, along |

| W2:WIS.1 | driven mad and seeks to let illusions take the place of truth. And | being mad, it sees illusions where the truth should be and where it |
| W2:307.1 | into peace where conflict is impossible. Your Son is one with You in | being and in will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I |
| W2:311.1 | made to be a weapon used against the truth. It separates what it is | being used against and sets it off as if it were a thing apart. And |
| W2:314.1 | shadows on it, so that fear has lost its idols and its images, and | being formless, it has no effects. Death will not claim the future |
| W2:WICR.4 | is certainty. For Love remains with all Its thought, Its sureness | being theirs. God's memory is in our holy minds, which know their |

| M:12.1 | as a body or even as in a body. Therefore He is limitless. And | being limitless, His Thoughts are joined with God's forever and ever. |

| Tx:2.60 | may unwittingly foster the belief that release is imprisonment, a | belief that is very prevalent. This misperception arose from the |
| Tx:2.67 | the awakening of the Spiritual eye and the turning away from the | belief in physical sight. The reason this so often entails fear is |
| Tx:2.69 | it was completely unnecessary. Like all aspects of the space-time | belief, healing ability is temporary. However, as long as time |
| Tx:2.90 | It is hard to recognize that thought and | belief combine into a power surge that can literally move mountains. |
| Tx:2.98 | believes he cannot control fear because he himself created it. His | belief in it seems to render it out of his control by definition. Yet |
| Tx:2.105 | he becomes egocentric, and this places him in a position where the | belief in magic in some form is virtually inevitable. His will to |
| Tx:2.110 | will inevitably disown its miscreations which, without the mind's | belief, will no longer exist. The term “Last Judgment” is frightening |
| Tx:3.16 | of error is responsible for a host of related errors including the | belief that God rejected man and forced him out of the Garden of |
| Tx:3.27 | lack confidence in what someone will do, you are attesting to your | belief that he is not in his right mind. This is hardly a |
| Tx:3.30 | Perception is merely temporary. It is an attribute of the space-time | belief and is therefore subject to fear or love. Misperceptions |
| Tx:3.57 | nothing else. Perception, on the other hand, is impossible without a | belief in “more” and “less.” Perception at every level involves |
| Tx:3.62 | been perceived. One of the illusions from which man suffers is the | belief that what he judged against has no effect. This cannot be true |
| Tx:3.62 | whether you judge right or wrong. Either way, you are placing your | belief in the unreal. This cannot be avoided in any type of judgment, |
| Tx:3.62 | cannot be avoided in any type of judgment, because it implies the | belief that reality is yours to choose from. |
| Tx:3.63 | are judging them. All uncertainty comes from a totally fallacious | belief that you are under the coercion of judgment. You do not need |
| Tx:3.66 | To whatever extent it is used against you, it is due only to your | belief in its efficacy as a weapon of defense for your own authority. |
| Tx:3.67 | The | belief is very frightening to them but hardly troubles God. He is, |
| Tx:3.72 | lies in what rests upon them. Both are cornerstones for systems of | belief by which men live. It is a mistake to believe that a thought |
| Tx:3.76 | the only sense in which God and His Souls are not co-creators. The | belief that they are is implicit in the “self concept,” a concept now |
| Tx:3.77 | correctly, you can only be glad that you cannot. But until then, the | belief that you can is the central foundation stone in your thought |
| Tx:3.78 | The mind can make the | belief in separation very real and very fearful, and this belief is |
| Tx:3.78 | make the belief in separation very real and very fearful, and this | belief is the “devil.” It is powerful, active, destructive, and |
| Tx:3.79 | as if it were the fear of death. There is no death, but there is a | belief in death. |
| Tx:4.28 | Belief is an ego function, and as long as your origin is open to | |
| Tx:4.28 | Belief is an ego function, and as long as your origin is open to | belief at all, you are regarding it from an ego viewpoint. [That is |
| Tx:4.28 | Bible quotes me as saying “Ye believe in God, believe also in me.” | Belief does apply to me, because I am the teacher of the ego.] When |
| Tx:4.28 | When teaching is no longer necessary, you will merely know God. | Belief that there is another way is the loftiest idea of which ego |
| Tx:4.33 | itself, because this premise is its foundation. The ego is the | belief of the mind that it is completely on its own. Its ceaseless |
| Tx:4.48 | separation, and its continued existence depends on your continuing | belief in the separation. Having reduced the Soul impulses to the |
| Tx:4.48 | the ego has to offer you some sort of reward for maintaining this | belief. All it can offer is a sense of temporary existence, which |
| Tx:4.50 | to cover or hide again. It is necessary to repeat here that your | belief in darkness and in hiding is why the light cannot enter. The |
| Tx:4.55 | would undertake to believe what is not true and then protect this | belief at the cost of truth? |
| Tx:4.63 | minds slip away. The problem is not one of concentration; it is the | belief that no one, including yourself, is worth consistent effort. |
| Tx:4.63 | consistently against this deception, and do not permit this shabby | belief to pull you back. The disheartened are useless to themselves |
| Tx:4.71 | is its own best argument that you cannot be of God. This is the | belief that the ego sponsors eagerly. Yet the ego hates the body |
| Tx:4.85 | The ego is nothing more than a part of your | belief about yourselves. Your other life has continued without |
| Tx:4.88 | to believe that you are. The ego is a device for maintaining this | belief, but it is still only your willingness to use the device that |
| Tx:4.104 | broken bodies are often looked down on by the ego because of its | belief that nothing but a perfect body is worthy as its own temple. |
| Tx:5.6 | you can accept the concept that the world is one of ideas, the whole | belief in the false association which the ego makes between giving |
| Tx:5.21 | You are the Kingdom of Heaven, but you have let the | belief in darkness enter your minds, and so you need a new light. The |
| Tx:5.31 | The power of our joint motivation is beyond | belief but not beyond accomplishment. What we can accomplish together |
| Tx:5.37 | is an idea of God, so the Soul understands it perfectly. Time is a | belief of the ego, so the lower mind, which is the ego's domain, |
| Tx:5.60 | except to the ego, but do not underestimate the power of the ego's | belief in it. This is the belief from which all guilt really stems. |
| Tx:5.60 | not underestimate the power of the ego's belief in it. This is the | belief from which all guilt really stems. |
| Tx:5.63 | thinking will always be attended with guilt because it is the | belief in sin. |
| Tx:5.71 | to be in time rather than eternity and have therefore changed your | belief in your status. Yet your election is both free and alterable. |
| Tx:5.72 | ego's continuity and gives it a false sense of security through the | belief that you cannot escape from it. But you can and must. God |
| Tx:5.86 | clearly could have been a means toward real release from the time | belief, had Freud pursued it with an open mind. Freud, however, |
| Tx:5.89 | This knowledge plagued Freud's | belief in his own thought system at every turn because he was both an |
| Tx:6.25 | in will must involve a rejection of part of it, and this is the | belief in separation. The wholeness of God, which is His peace, |
| Tx:6.27 | Projection will always hurt you. It reinforces your | belief in your own split mind, and its only purpose is to keep the |
| Tx:6.30 | You cannot change it now or ever. It is forever true. It is not a | belief but a fact. Anything that God create[s] is as true as He is. |
| Tx:6.54 | to the awareness of their perfection and thus side with the | belief that those who have everything need help and are therefore |
| Tx:6.64 | You cannot perform miracles without believing it, because it is a | belief in perfect equality. Only one equal gift can be offered to the |
| Tx:6.88 | are not recognizing this mutual exclusiveness and are holding the | belief that you can choose either one. By teaching what to choose, |
| Tx:6.90 | the Kingdom and have therefore excluded yourself from it in your | belief. It is therefore essential to teach you that you must be |
| Tx:6.90 | essential to teach you that you must be included and that the | belief that you are not is the only thing that you must exclude. |
| Tx:6.91 | said that altars are beliefs, but God and His creations are beyond | belief, because they are beyond question. The Voice for God speaks |
| Tx:6.91 | because they are beyond question. The Voice for God speaks only for | belief beyond question, which is the preparation for being without |
| Tx:6.91 | which is the preparation for being without question. As long as | belief in God and His Kingdom is assailed by any doubts in your |
| Tx:6.91 | His creation and therefore does engender doubt. You cannot go beyond | belief until you believe fully. |
| Tx:7.14 | In the Kingdom there is no teaching or learning, because there is no | belief. There is only certainty. God and His Sons, in the surety of |
| Tx:7.28 | this idea, because all your conflicts come from it. It is the | belief that conflicting interests are possible, and therefore you |
| Tx:7.36 | Holy Spirit sees no order of healing. Healing is the way to undo the | belief in differences, being the only way of perceiving the Sonship |
| Tx:7.36 | being the only way of perceiving the Sonship without this | belief. This perception is therefore in accord with the laws of God, |
| Tx:7.41 | healing or for magic, but you must remember that magic is always the | belief that healing is harmful. This is its totally insane premise, |
| Tx:7.43 | not be experiencing himself as truly helpful at the time, but the | belief that he is, in the mind of another, helps him. |
| Tx:7.55 | the power of your thought and thus rendered it powerless in your | belief. |
| Tx:7.61 | find this difficult is because you think there is something else. | Belief does not require vigilance unless it is conflicted. If it is, |
| Tx:7.65 | by the Holy Spirit, because your being is the knowledge of God. Any | belief that you accept which is apart from this will obscure God's |
| Tx:7.79 | to God, the ego is incapable of trust. Projecting its insane | belief that you have been treacherous to your Creator, it believes |
| Tx:7.85 | you do not want by giving it away. Giving it is how you keep it. The | belief that by giving it out you have excluded it from within is a |
| Tx:7.87 | is to break into pieces, and mind cannot attack or be attacked. The | belief that it can, a fallacy which the ego always makes, underlies |
| Tx:7.87 | Yet its existence is dependent on your mind, because the ego is your | belief. The ego is therefore a confusion in identification which |
| Tx:7.88 | you made it by believing in it, so you can dispel it by withdrawing | belief from it. Do not project the responsibility for your belief in |
| Tx:7.88 | belief from it. Do not project the responsibility for your | belief in it onto anyone else, or you will preserve the belief. When |
| Tx:7.88 | for your belief in it onto anyone else, or you will preserve the | belief. When you are willing to accept sole responsibility for the |
| Tx:7.89 | The Holy Spirit will teach you to perceive beyond | belief, because truth is beyond belief, and His perception is true. |
| Tx:7.89 | will teach you to perceive beyond belief, because truth is beyond | belief, and His perception is true. The ego can be completely |
| Tx:7.89 | ego can be completely forgotten at any time, because it was always a | belief that is totally incredible. No one can keep a belief he has |
| Tx:7.89 | it was always a belief that is totally incredible. No one can keep a | belief he has judged to be unbelievable. The more you learn about the |
| Tx:7.89 | unbelievable must be apparent, but it is not recognized as beyond | belief, because it was made by belief. |
| Tx:7.89 | but it is not recognized as beyond belief, because it was made by | belief. |
| Tx:7.90 | accepting the Atonement for yourself, you are deciding against the | belief that you can be alone, thus dispelling the idea of separation |
| Tx:7.90 | part of you. This identification is as beyond doubt as it is beyond | belief. Your wholeness has no limits, because being is in infinity. |
| Tx:7.104 | the follower is. However, this too is merely a matter of his own | belief. Believing that he can betray, he believes that everything can |
| Tx:8.28 | The world must despise and reject me, because the world is the | belief that love is impossible. Your reactions to me are the |
| Tx:8.50 | God's own treasure do not regard yourselves as valuable. Given this | belief, you cannot understand anything. I share with God the |
| Tx:8.53 | to accept this interpretation. You are accepting it simply by the | belief that attack can get you something you want. If you did not |
| Tx:8.57 | him to belittle himself in your mind, but give him freedom from his | belief in littleness and thus escape from yours. As part of you, he |
| Tx:8.59 | orders of miracles do. Thought cannot be made into flesh except by | belief, since thought is not physical. Yet thought is communication, |
| Tx:8.62 | by making whole, which is also natural. All mind is whole, and the | belief that part of it is physical, or not mind, is a fragmented (or |
| Tx:8.68 | from the results of what is not true. Free your minds from the | belief that this is possible. In its complete impossibility and your |
| Tx:8.72 | It has been particularly difficult to overcome the ego's | belief in the body as an end, because this is synonymous with the |
| Tx:8.72 | belief 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 |
| Tx:8.72 | in sickness. If you are sick, how can you object to the ego's firm | belief that you are not invulnerable? This is a particularly |
| Tx:8.80 | to heal the body, for this would merely be to accept the ego's | belief that the body is the proper aim for healing. Ask rather that |
| Tx:8.96 | it is the same as God's. The separation is nothing more than the | belief that it is different. |
| Tx:8.101 | the impossible, believing that to achieve it is success? The | belief that you must have the impossible in order to be happy is |
| Tx:8.102 | The fact that God is love does not require | belief, but it does require acceptance. It is indeed possible for you |
| Tx:8.114 | your brothers because I believe in you, and you will learn that my | belief in you is justified. Believe in me by believing in them for |
| 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. |
| Tx:9.14 | the beginning and thus keeping it unreal for you. Do not let any | belief in its realness enter your minds at all, or you will also |
| Tx:9.43 | You cannot evaluate an insane | belief system from within it. Its own range precludes this. You can |
| Tx:9.44 | that arises from it means anything. The Holy Spirit judges every | belief you hold in terms of where it comes from. If it comes from |
| Tx:9.49 | real. It is an attempt to counteract your littleness, based on the | belief that the littleness is real. Without this belief, grandiosity |
| Tx:9.49 | based on the belief that the littleness is real. Without this | belief, grandiosity is meaningless, and you could not possibly want |
| Tx:9.54 | you have replaced it with something you have made. Perhaps it is the | belief in littleness; perhaps it is the belief in grandiosity. Yet it |
| Tx:9.54 | have made. Perhaps it is the belief in littleness; perhaps it is the | belief in grandiosity. Yet it must be insane because it is not true. |
| Tx:9.58 | hear, for God does not deceive. He would have you replace the ego's | belief in littleness with His own exalted answer to the question of |
| Tx:9.77 | power and never usurps it. Sickness is idolatry, because it is the | belief that power can be taken from you. Yet this is impossible, |
| Tx:9.84 | and worship him because he was made as God's replacement. He is the | belief that you can choose which god is real. Although it is |
| Tx:9.91 | Him, he strengthens His Voice in a sick brother by weakening his | belief in sickness, which he does not share. The power of one mind |
| Tx:10.14 | afraid to know God's Will because you believe it is not yours. This | belief is your whole sickness and your whole fear. Every symptom of |
| Tx:10.14 | Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here because this is the | belief that makes you want not to know. Believing this, you hide in |
| Tx:10.41 | power to do something, and the whole separation fallacy lies in the | belief that the ego has the power to do anything. The ego is fearful |
| Tx:10.44 | that stems from the ego is the natural outcome of its central | belief, and the way to undo its results is merely to recognize that |
| Tx:10.45 | Can you believe that autonomy is meaningful apart from Him? The | belief in ego autonomy is costing you the knowledge of your |
| Tx:10.47 | to your allegiance is that it can give power to you. Without this | belief, you would not listen to it at all. How, then, can its |
| Tx:10.53 | understanding, and truth lie in separation, and to establish this | belief it must attack. Unaware that the belief cannot be established |
| Tx:10.53 | and to establish this belief it must attack. Unaware that the | belief cannot be established and obsessed with the conviction that |
| Tx:10.60 | are interpreting against it and therefore do not believe it. And if | belief determines perception, you do not perceive what it means and |
| Tx:11.11 | false, for it was made out of denial, and denial depends on the real | belief in what is denied for its own existence. |
| Tx:11.12 | fear correctly as a positive affirmation of the underlying | belief it masks, you are undermining its perceived usefulness by |
| Tx:11.26 | and to be saved by attack. If he attacks, you are agreeing with this | belief, and if you attack, you are reinforcing it. Remember that |
| Tx:11.65 | you have two functions, so long will you need correction. For this | belief is the destruction of peace, a goal in direct opposition to |
| Tx:11.86 | They appear to lose what they love, perhaps the most insane | belief of all. And their bodies wither and gasp and are laid in the |
| Tx:11.87 | that it was the Father Who drove him out of paradise. For in that | belief, the knowledge of the Father was lost, since only those who do |
| Tx:11.94 | can you understand his oneness. For the idea of guilt brings a | belief in condemnation of one by another, projecting separation in |
| Tx:12.3 | The darkest of your hidden cornerstones holds your | belief in guilt from your awareness. For in that dark and secret |
| Tx:12.14 | You have built your whole insane | belief system because you think you would be helpless in God's |
| Tx:13.12 | faith in it is pain. And faith can be rewarded only in terms of the | belief in which the faith was placed. Faith makes the power of |
| Tx:13.12 | the belief in which the faith was placed. Faith makes the power of | belief, and where it is invested determines its reward. For faith is |
| Tx:13.15 | believe this not. For sin and condemnation are the same, and the | belief in one is faith in the other, calling for punishment instead |
| Tx:13.33 | Like you my faith and my | belief are centered on what I treasure. The difference is that I love |
| Tx:13.33 | placed upon you. I love all that He created, and all my faith and my | belief I offer unto it. My faith in you is strong as all the love I |
| Tx:13.42 | His, cannot be broken. You may believe you want it broken, and this | belief does interfere with the deep peace in which the sweet and |
| Tx:13.51 | he gives to them. The thoughts he shares with God are beyond his | belief, but those he made are his beliefs. And it is these, and not |
| Tx:13.71 | that whatever he may try to do to you, your perfect freedom from the | belief that you can be harmed shows him he is guiltless. He can do |
| Tx:13.72 | you. The causeless cannot be. Do not attest to it, and do not foster | belief in it in any mind. Remember always that mind is one and cause |
| Tx:14.19 | perfectly clear. Keep not guilt and guiltlessness apart, for your | belief that you can have them both is meaningless. All you have done |
| Tx:14.25 | cornerstone of fear on which you have erected your insane system of | belief, the truth lies hidden. Yet you cannot know this, for by |
| Tx:14.26 | impossible. It is therefore not a point of view at all but merely a | belief in something that does not exist. It is only this belief that |
| Tx:14.26 | merely a belief in something that does not exist. It is only this | belief that the unknowing have, and by it they are wrong about |
| Tx:14.27 | is a distorted process of thinking whereby two systems of | belief which cannot coexist are both maintained. It has been |
| Tx:14.28 | from sight, for each in a separate place can be endowed with firm | belief. Bring them together, and the fact of their complete |
| Tx:15.2 | One source of perceived discouragement from which you suffer is your | belief that this takes time, and that the results of the Holy |
| Tx:15.2 | to your identification with the ego, which uses time to support its | belief in destruction. The ego, like the Holy Spirit, uses time to |
| Tx:15.3 | that Heaven is not for you. How can the guilty hope for Heaven? The | belief in hell is inescapable to those who identify with the ego. |
| Tx:15.7 | still believe that it can offer the escape from it. But the | belief in guilt must lead to the belief in hell, and always does. The |
| Tx:15.7 | offer the escape from it. But the belief in guilt must lead to the | belief in hell, and always does. The only way in which the ego allows |
| Tx:15.8 | is no hell. Hell is only what the ego has made of the present. The | belief in hell is what prevents you from understanding the present, |
| Tx:15.22 | little because it is a world made out of littleness in the strange | belief that littleness can content you. When you strive for anything |
| Tx:15.22 | can content you. When you strive for anything in this world with the | belief that it will bring you peace, you are belittling yourself and |
| Tx:15.28 | Decide for God through Him. For littleness and the | belief that you can be content with littleness are the decisions you |
| Tx:15.47 | relationships, with special love, can offer you salvation is the | belief that separation is salvation. For it is the complete equality |
| Tx:15.68 | The ego wishes no one well. Yet its survival depends on your | belief that you are exempt from its evil intentions. It counsels, |
| Tx:15.68 | relationships, forged out of anger and dedicated to but one insane | belief—that the more anger you invest outside yourself, the safer |
| Tx:15.90 | release and what the Holy Spirit must undo to set him free. For his | belief in limits has imprisoned him. |
| Tx:15.105 | accomplish this yourselves when the basis of your attempts is the | belief in the reality of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds |
| Tx:15.105 | reality of the deprivation? For deprivation breeds attack, being the | belief that attack is justified. And as long as you would retain the |
| Tx:16.75 | point to truth. The holy instant is the opposite of the ego's fixed | belief in salvation through vengeance for the past. In the holy |
| Tx:17.5 | are trying to make illusions real and keep them by justifying your | belief in them. But to give illusions to truth is to enable truth to |
| Tx:18.40 | and remain unwilling to give place to One Who knows. The whole | belief in orders of difficulty in miracles is centered on this. |
| Tx:18.50 | God give but knowledge of Himself? What else is there to give? The | belief that you could give and get something else, something outside |
| Tx:18.71 | that makes love seem limited. For the body is a limit on love. The | belief in limited love was its origin, and it was made to limit the |
| Tx:19.6 | upon the mind and not the body. The inevitable compromise is the | belief that the body must be healed, and not the mind. For this |
| Tx:19.17 | made right. But sin, were it possible, would be irreversible. The | belief in sin is necessarily based on the firm conviction that minds, |
| Tx:19.17 | Sin calls for punishment as error for correction, and the | belief that punishment is correction is clearly insane. |
| Tx:19.30 | In error, yes; for this can be corrected by the mind. But sin is the | belief that your perception is unchangeable and that the mind must |
| Tx:19.32 | will find guilt attractive and believe that sin is precious. For the | belief that bodies limit mind leads to a perception of the world in |
| Tx:19.33 | of proving this is impossible. Heaven has smiled upon it, and the | belief in sin has been uprooted in its smile of love. You see it |
| Tx:19.34 | other overcome mistakes by joyously releasing one another from the | belief in sin. |
| Tx:19.47 | of a wish, this tiny illusion, this microscopic remnant of the | belief in sin, is all that remains of what once seemed to be the |
| Tx:19.59 | peace must flow across, and closely related to the first, is the | belief that the body is valuable for what it offers. For here is the |
| Tx:19.61 | What has the body really given you that justifies your strange | belief that in it lies salvation? Do you not see that this is the |
| Tx:19.61 | belief that in it lies salvation? Do you not see that this is the | belief in death? Here is the focus of the perception of Atonement as |
| Tx:19.66 | you that its power is gone forever. Where can guilt be, when the | belief in sin is gone? And where is death, when its great advocate is |
| Tx:19.74 | The ego's messages are always sent away from you in the | belief that for your message of attack and guilt will someone other |
| Tx:19.92 | This is the darkest veil, upheld by the | belief in death and protected by its attraction. The dedication to |
| Tx:19.93 | See how the | belief in death would seem to “save” you. For if this is gone, what |
| Tx:20.16 | The | belief in sin is an adjustment. And an adjustment is a change; a |
| Tx:20.16 | And an adjustment is a change; a shift in perception or a | belief that what was so before has been made different. Every |
| Tx:20.17 | Adjustments of any kind are of the ego. For it is the ego's fixed | belief that all relationships depend upon adjustments to make of them |
| Tx:20.22 | The world believes in sin, but the | belief that made it as you see it is not outside you. Seek not to |
| Tx:20.55 | The body is the ego's idol; the | belief in sin made flesh and then projected outward. This produces |
| Tx:21.21 | for here is it invested. Think not that you are faithless, for your | belief and trust in this is strong indeed. |
| Tx:21.32 | Faith and | belief and vision are the means by which the goal of holiness is |
| Tx:21.32 | when you wander, He reminds you there is but one. His faith and His | belief and vision are all for you. And when you have accepted them |
| Tx:21.32 | you will have need of them no longer. For faith and vision and | belief are meaningful only before the state of certainty is reached. |
| Tx:21.33 | in faith in his illusions about himself. For faith, perception, and | belief you made as means for losing certainty and finding sin. This |
| Tx:21.35 | Faith and | belief become attached to vision, as all the means that once served |
| Tx:21.35 | for sin are dear to you. And so the body has your faith and your | belief. But holiness would set your brother free, removing hatred by |
| Tx:21.36 | Desiring to look upon their brothers in holiness, the power of | belief and faith goes far beyond the body, supporting vision, not |
| Tx:21.38 | mind believes. Thus is the joining of mind and body an inescapable | belief of those who value sin. And so is sacrifice invariably a means |
| Tx:21.40 | But in their seeing, they look past it, as do you. The faith and the | belief you gave it belongs beyond. You gave perception and belief and |
| Tx:21.40 | and the belief you gave it belongs beyond. You gave perception and | belief and faith from mind to body. Let them now be given back to |
| Tx:21.41 | It has no fear to let you feel ashamed. It doubts not your | belief and faith in sin. Its temples do not shake because of this. |
| Tx:21.43 | who have joined their brothers have detached themselves from their | belief that their identity lies in the ego. A holy relationship is |
| Tx:21.43 | is one in which you join with what is part of you in truth. And your | belief in sin has been already shaken, nor are you now entirely |
| Tx:21.49 | and on the sights you choose to see, depends entirely your whole | belief in what you are. Perception is a witness but to this and never |
| Tx:21.56 | Faith and perception and | belief can be misplaced and serve the great deceiver's needs as well |
| Tx:21.56 | at all in madness, nor can it be adjusted to fit its end. Faith and | belief are strong in madness, guiding perception toward what the mind |
| Tx:21.58 | You have come very close to this. Faith and | belief have shifted, and you have asked the question which the ego |
| Tx:21.58 | something that you do not know but must belong to you? Faith and | belief, upheld by reason, cannot fail to lead to changed perception. |
| Tx:21.59 | is yours to give. And so you will not give it, thus maintaining the | belief. For uncorrected error of any kind deceives you about the |
| Tx:21.59 | deny it to yourself and to your brother. And if he shares this same | belief, you both will think that you are damned. This you could spare |
| Tx:21.70 | Do you not see that all your misery comes from the strange | belief that you are powerless? Being helpless is the cost of sin. |
| Tx:21.76 | rest have lost for you. And this imagined difference attests to your | belief that truth may be the enemy you yet may find. Here, then, |
| Tx:22.4 | Think what a holy relationship can teach! Here is | belief in differences undone. Here is the faith in differences |
| Tx:22.19 | all truth meaningless and all illusions real. Such is the power of | belief. It cannot compromise. And faith in innocence is faith in sin |
| Tx:22.19 | It cannot compromise. And faith in innocence is faith in sin if the | belief excludes one living thing and holds it out apart from its |
| Tx:22.20 | the only means by which escape from guilt can be attained, then the | belief in sin must be eternal. Yet reason looks on this another way, |
| Tx:22.21 | in trying to avoid this one decision. It must be made. Faith and | belief can fall to either side, but reason tells you that misery lies |
| Tx:22.24 | that what you made has power to enslave its maker. This is the same | belief that caused the separation. It is the meaningless idea that |
| Tx:22.30 | The ego's whole continuance depends on its | belief you cannot learn this course. Share this belief, and reason |
| Tx:22.30 | depends on its belief you cannot learn this course. Share this | belief, and reason will be unable to see your errors and make way for |
| Tx:22.30 | been an error. The ego's opposition to correction leads to its fixed | belief in sin and disregard of errors. It looks on nothing that can |
| Tx:22.46 | from the truth? And what would you be saved from but what you fear? | Belief in sin needs great defense and at enormous cost. All that the |
| Tx:22.50 | alone. This is the cost of all illusions. Not one but rests on the | belief that you are separate. Not one that does not seem to stand, |
| Tx:22.60 | Will of God is powerless? Is this humility? You do not see what this | belief has done. You see yourself as vulnerable, frail, and easily |
| Tx:22.62 | yourself or hurt yourself without the other feeling pain. And this | belief you want. Yet wherein lies its value except in the desire to |
| Tx:23.1 | who has an enemy, and no one can attack unless he thinks he has. | Belief in enemies is therefore the belief in weakness, and what is |
| Tx:23.1 | attack unless he thinks he has. Belief in enemies is therefore the | belief in weakness, and what is weak is not the Will of God. Being |
| Tx:23.7 | the warlike would remember is not love. War is impossible unless | belief in victory is cherished. Conflict within you must imply that |
| Tx:23.7 | God. Certain it is it has no enemy. Yet just as certain is its fixed | belief it has an enemy that it must overcome and will succeed. |
| Tx:23.8 | is possible. And God thinks otherwise. This is no war—only the mad | belief the Will of God can be attacked and overthrown. You may |
| Tx:23.8 | of God can be attacked and overthrown. You may identify with this | belief, but never will it be more than madness. And fear will reign |
| Tx:23.12 | illusions, struggling to make them different from each other in the | belief the one which conquers will be true. There is no conflict |
| Tx:23.16 | His most holy home and let forgiveness sweep away all trace of the | belief in sin that keeps God homeless and His Son with Him. You are |
| Tx:23.20 | which sets him off from others. This principle evolves from the | belief there is a hierarchy of illusions; some are more valuable and |
| Tx:23.22 | Himself is powerless to overcome. Sin cannot be remitted, being the | belief the Son of God can make mistakes for which his own destruction |
| Tx:23.24 | He be asked about the truth of what has been established for His | belief. His Son can tell Him this, and He has but the choice whether |
| Tx:23.24 | for it or be mistaken. This leads directly to the third preposterous | belief that seems to make chaos eternal. For if God cannot be |
| Tx:23.24 | For if God cannot be mistaken, then He must accept his Son's | belief in what he is and hate him for it. |
| Tx:23.27 | if the others are accepted, must be true. This seeming law is the | belief you have what you have taken. By this, another's loss becomes |
| Tx:23.32 | if he sees that this is what it is. What protects madness is the | belief that it is true. It is the function of insanity to take the |
| Tx:23.34 | major roles, it seems most powerful. No law of chaos could compel | belief but for the emphasis on form and disregard of content. No one |
| Tx:23.38 | to value some above the others. Yet each one rests as surely on the | belief the laws of chaos are the laws of order as do the others. Each |
| Tx:23.39 | From the | belief in sin, the faith in chaos must follow. It is because it |
| Tx:23.43 | is denied where compromise has been accepted, for compromise is the | belief salvation is impossible. It would maintain you can attack a |
| Tx:23.44 | not see that, if it is, salvation is attack. Yet it is certain the | belief that salvation is impossible cannot uphold a quiet, calm |
| Tx:23.45 | could they know? Could they accept forgiveness side by side with the | belief that murder takes some forms by which their peace is saved? |
| Tx:24.2 | be kept hidden and obscure but it will jeopardize your learning. No | belief is neutral. Every one has the power to dictate each decision |
| Tx:24.2 | based on everything that you believe. It is the outcome of | belief and follows it as surely as does suffering follow guilt and |
| Tx:24.3 | love's purpose. Love offers everything forever. Hold back but one | belief, one offering, and love is gone because you asked a substitute |
| Tx:24.4 | because conflicting outcomes are impossible. But an unrecognized | belief is a decision to war in secret, where the results of conflict |
| Tx:24.5 | All that is ever cherished as a hidden | belief, to be defended though unrecognized, is faith in specialness. |
| Tx:24.9 | let you think that you are better off apart. Is it not always your | belief your specialness is limited by your relationship? And is not |
| Tx:24.10 | The fear of God and of each other comes from each unrecognized | belief in specialness. For each demands the other bow to it against |
| Tx:24.52 | in all temptation to perceive what is not there and all | belief God's Son can suffer pain because he sees himself as he is not. |
| Tx:25.14 | task you set yourself. Can it make sense to hold the fixed | belief that there is reason to uphold pursuit of what has always |
| Tx:25.24 | real at all. Only because His Son believes it is, and from His Son's | belief He could not let Himself be separate entirely. He could not |
| Tx:25.26 | is another Maker of the world, the simultaneous Corrector of the mad | belief that anything could be established and maintained without some |
| Tx:25.29 | is made. For it is seeing them as one that brings release from the | belief there are two ways to see. This world has much to offer to |
| Tx:25.30 | eyes. And therefore it need not be there in yours. Sin is the fixed | belief perception cannot change. What has been damned is damned and |
| Tx:25.42 | His Will be done. In each of you, you see the picture of your own | belief in what the Will of God must be for you. In your forgiveness |
| Tx:25.52 | meaning is insanity. And what is madness cannot be the truth. If one | belief so deeply valued here were true, then every Thought God ever |
| Tx:25.53 | both the Father and the Son. This you believe. Think not that this | belief depends upon the form it takes. Who thinks the world is sane |
| Tx:25.60 | The whole | belief that someone loses but reflects the underlying tenet God must |
| Tx:25.60 | lost. If this were true, then God is mad indeed! But what is this | belief except a form of the more basic tenet, “Sin is real and rules |
| Tx:25.62 | Remember all temptation is but this—a mad | belief that God's insanity would make you sane and give you what you |
| Tx:25.68 | their own confusion and cannot avoid the vengeance that their own | belief in justice must entail. And so they fear the Holy Spirit and |
| Tx:26.6 | it and rejoice with him. Make not his holiness a sacrifice to your | belief in sin. You sacrifice your innocence with his and die each |
| Tx:26.35 | Yet in each unforgiving act or thought, in every judgment, and in all | belief in sin, is that one instant still called back, as if it could |
| Tx:26.36 | delude himself that this is true and pass from mere imagining into | belief and into madness, quite convinced that where he would prefer |
| Tx:26.42 | by long ago, which cannot be relived. And all of time is but the mad | belief that what is over is still here and now. |
| Tx:26.44 | perceived reality has entered all the world of sick illusions. All | belief in sin, in power of attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and |
| Tx:26.50 | God's answer lies where the | belief in sin must be, for only there can its effects be utterly |
| Tx:26.52 | not error, for it goes beyond correction to impossibility. Yet the | belief that it is real has made some errors seem forever past the |
| Tx:26.59 | Sin is | belief attack can be projected outside the mind where the belief |
| Tx:26.59 | Sin is belief attack can be projected outside the mind where the | belief arose. Here is the firm conviction that ideas can leave their |
| Tx:26.72 | unless he thought they had been caused and judged disastrous now? | Belief in sin arouses fear and, like its cause, is looking forward, |
| Tx:26.87 | the other must be seen. You cannot be unfairly treated. The | belief you are is but another form of the idea you are deprived by |
| Tx:27.4 | The power of witness is beyond | belief because it brings conviction in its wake. The witness is |
| Tx:27.9 | These are not sins, but witnesses unto the strange | belief that sin and death are real, and innocence and sin will end |
| Tx:27.16 | prove to him, you will believe. The power of witness comes from your | belief. And everything you say or do or think but testifies to what |
| Tx:27.30 | What can interfere with the awareness of reality is the | belief that there is something there. |
| Tx:27.45 | Only when demonstrated has it been proved and must compel | belief. No one is healed through double messages. If you wish only to |
| Tx:28.30 | sickness is kept carefully protected, cherished, and upheld by firm | belief, lest God should come to bridge the little gap that leads to |
| Tx:28.46 | you perceive within the gap? The seeds of sickness come from the | belief that there is joy in separation, and its giving up would be a |
| Tx:29.16 | to alter it. Yet this but means the mind remains unchanged in its | belief of what the purpose of the body is. |
| Tx:29.54 | An idol is a false impression or a false | belief—some form of anti-Christ which constitutes a gap between the |
| Tx:29.56 | the truth shine unencumbered, being what it is. It does not need | belief to be itself, for it has been created, so it is. An idol is |
| Tx:29.56 | itself, for it has been created, so it is. An idol is established by | belief, and when it is withdrawn, the idol “dies.” |
| Tx:30.24 | really want. Its purpose has no longer been obscured by the insane | belief you want it for the goal of being right when you are wrong. |
| Tx:30.38 | its expression in the terms of form. Idols are limits. They are the | belief that there are forms which will bring happiness and that, by |
| Tx:30.40 | of an idol—that you will not look beyond it to the source of the | belief that you are incomplete. Only if you had sinned could this be |
| Tx:30.58 | no one stands outside this hope because the world has been united in | belief the purpose of the world is one which all must share if hope |
| Tx:30.75 | There is no surer proof idolatry is what you wish than a | belief there are some forms of sickness and of joylessness |
| Tx:30.75 | not appearances at all. Be not deceived about the meaning of a fixed | belief that some appearances are harder to look past than others are. |
| Tx:30.92 | awareness is unreal and does not interfere at all. The cost of the | belief there must be some appearances beyond the hope of change is |
| Tx:31.62 | have you established what you are, as flesh or Spirit in your own | belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape the body as your |
| W1:16.1 | The idea for today is a beginning step in dispelling the | belief that your thoughts have no effect. Everything you see is the |
| W1:21.3 | are more “obvious.” This is not so. It is merely an example of the | belief that some forms of attack are more justified than others. |
| W1:26.3 | that you always attack yourself. If attack thoughts must entail the | belief that you are vulnerable, their effect is to weaken you in your |
| W1:50.3 | yourself this often today. It is a declaration of release from the | belief in idols. It is your acknowledgment of the truth about |
| W1:53.4 | I have given it the illusion of reality, and have suffered from my | belief in it. Now I choose to withdraw this belief and place my trust |
| W1:53.4 | have suffered from my belief in it. Now I choose to withdraw this | belief and place my trust in reality. In choosing this, I will escape |
| W1:57.3 | possible to imprison the Son of God. I was bitterly mistaken in this | belief, which I no longer want. The Son of God must be forever free. |
| W1:72.6 | real. It overlooks entirely what your brother is. It reinforces your | belief that he is a body and condemns him for it. And it asserts that |
| W1:72.8 | This is the universal | belief of the world you see. Some hate the body and try to hurt and |
| W1:73.1 | in the sense that they can make a world of illusions in which your | belief can be very strong. But they are idle indeed in terms of |
| W1:73.9 | of strength. Today let your will be done. And end forever the insane | belief that it is hell in place of Heaven that you choose. |
| W1:74.1 | have recognized this, you have recognized that your will is His. The | belief that conflict is possible has gone. Peace has replaced the |
| W1:76.11 | only Son, created as His channel for creation, denied to Him by his | belief in hell. |

| W1:91.8 | to be undone. But what you really are must be revealed to you. The | belief you are a body calls for correction, being a mistake. The |
| W1:91.12 | strength. Remember that all sense of weakness is associated with the | belief that you are a body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no |
| W1:91.12 | of weakness is associated with the belief that you are a body, a | belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith. Try to remove your |
| W1:97.12 | temptation, and escape its sorry consequences if you yield to the | belief that you are something else. The Holy Spirit gives you peace |
| W1:99.5 | that its Source is timeless. Yet it operates in time because of your | belief that time is real. Unshaken does the Holy Spirit look on what |
| W1:100.1 | in it completes your Father's plan. Salvation must reverse the mad | belief in separate thoughts and separate bodies which lead separate |
| W1:100.8 | Think what this means. You have indeed been wrong in your | belief that sacrifice is asked. You but receive according to God's |
| W1:101.5 | Accept Atonement with an open mind which cherishes no lingering | belief that you have made a devil of God's Son. |
| W1:101.9 | to remove the heavy load you laid upon yourself with the insane | belief that sin is real. |
| W1:102.1 | may still believe a little that it buys you what you want. Yet this | belief is surely shaken now, at least enough to let you question it |
| W1:103.2 | This strange | belief would limit happiness by redefining love as limited and |
| W1:103.5 | of practicing today with this association, which corrects the false | belief that God is fear. It also emphasizes happiness belongs to you |
| W1:106.2 | you they have found the source of life and offer it to you for your | belief. Attend them not, but listen to the truth. |
| W1:107.1 | not a trace by which to be remembered. They are gone because without | belief they have no life, and so they disappear to nothingness, |
| W1:116.2 | Will is perfect happiness for me. And I can suffer but from the | belief there is another will apart from His. |
| W1:127.8 | place a spark of truth within your mind wherever you give up a false | belief, a dark illusion of your own reality and what love means. He |
| W1:132.1 | but your beliefs? And what can save the world except your Self? | Belief is powerful indeed. The thoughts you hold are mighty, and |
| W1:135.2 | the past, or organize the present as you wish. You operate from the | belief you must protect yourself from what is happening because it |
| W1:135.2 | A sense of threat is an acknowledgment of an inherent weakness, a | belief that there is danger which has power to call on you to make |
| W1:135.3 | The world is based on this insane | belief. And all its structures, all its thoughts and doubts, its |
| W1:135.7 | endowed the body with the right to serve you thus except your own | belief? It is your mind which gave the body all the functions that |
| W1:135.13 | A healed mind is relieved from the | belief that it must plan, although it cannot know the outcome which |
| W1:139.6 | this prove except the world is mad? Why share its madness in the sad | belief that what is universal here is true? Nothing the world |
| W1:139.9 | teach and demonstrates the oneness of God's Son is unassailed by his | belief he knows not what he is. Today accept Atonement, not to change |
| W1:140.1 | Its forms of healing thus must substitute illusion for illusion. One | belief in sickness takes another form, and so the patient now |
| W1:151.6 | let the Voice for God alone be Judge of what is worthy of your own | belief. |
| W1:154.12 | You have heard this said a hundred ways, a hundred times, and yet | belief is lacking still. But this is sure—until belief is given it, |
| W1:154.12 | times, and yet belief is lacking still. But this is sure—until | belief is given it, you will receive a thousand miracles and then |
| W1:167.4 | is the thought that you are separate from your Creator. It is the | belief conditions change, emotions alternate because of causes you |
| W1:167.4 | control, you did not make, and you can never change. It is the fixed | belief ideas can leave their source and take on qualities the source |
| W1:170.11 | Where does the totally insane | belief in gods of vengeance come from? Love has not confused its |
| W1:186.8 | the function God has given us, for all illusions rest upon the weird | belief that we can make another for ourselves. Our self-made roles |
| W1:189.7 | Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught nor one | belief you ever learned before from anything. Forget this world, |
| W1:196.1 | another is but to attack yourself. You will be free of the insane | belief that to attack a brother saves yourself. And you will |
| W1:196.5 | Perhaps it seemed to be salvation. Yet it merely stood for the | belief the fear of God is real. And what is that but hell? Who could |
| W1:197.1 | Here is the second step we take to free your mind from the | belief in outside force pitted against your own. You make attempts at |
| W1:197.7 | And with the end of this | belief is fear forever over. Thank your Self for this, for He is |
| W2:264.1 | for my own. In You time disappears and place becomes a meaningless | belief. For what surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is Love |
| W2:290.1 | to behold. Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the | belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. This the day I |
| W2:WIE.4 | its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its salvation, and the cost | belief in it entails. In suffering, the price for faith in it is so |
| W2:FL.1 | we give our lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the | belief in sin, which made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking |
| M:8.1 | The | belief in order of difficulties is the basis for the world's |
| M:8.5 | merely because all sickness is illusion. Is it harder to dispel the | belief of the insane in a larger hallucination as opposed to a |
| M:14.1 | now it has no purpose and is gone. The father of illusions is the | belief that they have a purpose; that they serve a need or gratify a |
| M:15.3 | judgment and to recognize that it is true. One instant of complete | belief in this, and you will go beyond belief to certainty. One |
| M:15.3 | true. One instant of complete belief in this, and you will go beyond | belief to certainty. One instant out of time can bring time's end. |
| M:16.11 | this is so and have learned that everything but this is magic. All | belief in magic is maintained by just one simple-minded illusion— |
| M:17.1 | any form, God's teacher can be sure that he is strengthening his own | belief in sin and has condemned himself. He can be sure as well that |
| M:18.3 | screeches, “Guilt is real.” Reality is blotted out as this insane | belief is taken as replacement for God's Word. The body's eyes now |
| M:20.4 | in whatever form, will drop the heavy curtain once again, and the | belief that peace cannot exist will certainly return. War is again |
| M:24.3 | acceptance of the course merely because it advocates a long-held | belief of his own. |

| M:27.1 | consider it still more carefully. It is the one fixed, unchangeable | belief of the world that all things in it are born only to die. This |
| M:27.4 | The curious | belief that there is part of dying things that may go on apart from |
| M:27.5 | The “reality” of death is firmly rooted in the | belief that God's Son is a body. And if God created bodies, death |
| M:29.4 | this image assumes it knows all things because you have given that | belief to it. Such is your teaching and the teaching of the world |

| Tx:10.59 | are built up on the basis of experience, and experience leads to | beliefs. It is not until beliefs are fixed that perceptions |
| Tx:10.59 | of experience, and experience leads to beliefs. It is not until | beliefs are fixed that perceptions stabilize. In effect, then, what |
| Tx:10.61 | Yet different experiences lead to different | beliefs, [and with them, different perceptions. For perceptions are |

| Tx:10.61 | for you, and do not try to limit what you see by narrow little | beliefs which are unworthy of God's Son. For until Christ comes into |

| Tx:23.9 | your strange alliances on grounds that have no meaning. For your | beliefs converge upon the body, the ego's chosen home, which you |
| Tx:23.38 | results. Certain it is illusions will bring fear because of the | beliefs that they imply, not for their form. And lack of faith in |
| Tx:24.2 | truth arises from what He knows. And your decisions come from your | beliefs as certainly as all creation rose in His Mind because of what |
| Tx:24.4 | Beliefs will never openly attack each other, because conflicting | |
| Tx:24.4 | and meaningless decisions have been made and kept hidden to become | beliefs, now given power to direct all subsequent decisions. Mistake |
| Tx:25.52 | had is an illusion. And if but one Thought of His is true, then all | beliefs the world gives any meaning to are false and make no sense at |
| Tx:25.61 | confidence and perfect peace. Reason is satisfied, for all insane | beliefs can be corrected here. And sin must be impossible if this is |
| Tx:25.64 | your faith in it be strong, unswerving, and without attack from all | beliefs opposed to it. You have no fixed allegiance. But remember |
| Tx:26.53 | you do not see the role forgiveness plays in ending death and all | beliefs that rise from mists of guilt. |

| W1:132.1 | What keeps the world in chains but your | beliefs? And what can save the world except your Self? Belief is |
| W1:132.4 | and all your sorrows press upon it and keep it a prisoner to your | beliefs. Death strikes it everywhere because you hold the bitter |
| W1:135.16 | by learning and experience obtained from past events and previous | beliefs. It overlooks the present, for it rests on the idea the past |
| W1:135.17 | quite unlike the past without a continuity of any old ideas and sick | beliefs. Anticipation plays no part at all, for present confidence |

| Tx:6.1 | as entirely one's own responsibility. Anger cannot occur unless you | believe that you have been attacked, that [the attack was unjust, |
| Tx:6.2 | attack has no justification; and you are responsible for what you | believe. You have been asked to take me as your model for learning, |
| Tx:6.7 | its destruction does not justify anger. To the extent to which you | believe that it does, you must be accepting false premises and |
| Tx:6.8 | of attack and one which I do want to share with you. If you will | believe it, you will help me to teach it. |
| Tx:6.10 | There can be no justification for the unjustifiable. Do not | believe there is, and do not teach that there is. Remember always |
| Tx:6.10 | is, and do not teach that there is. Remember always that what you | believe you will teach. Believe with me, and we will become equal as |
| Tx:6.10 | that there is. Remember always that what you believe you will teach. | Believe with me, and we will become equal as teachers. Your |
| Tx:6.10 | it to our brothers in the name of the Kingdom of God, but first | believe that it is true for you, or you will teach amiss. |
| Tx:6.24 | is the notion of rejection. As long as you teach this, you still | believe it. This is not as God thinks, and you must think as He |
| Tx:6.26 | referring, what you project you disown and therefore do not | believe is yours. You are excluding yourself by the very statement |
| Tx:6.31 | you will ultimately meet it and know it. The ego would prefer to | believe that this meeting is impossible, yet it is your perception |
| Tx:6.34 | The Holy Spirit uses time but does not | believe in it. Coming from God, He uses everything for good, but He |
| Tx:6.34 | in it. Coming from God, He uses everything for good, but He does not | believe in what is not true. Since the Holy Spirit is in your minds, |
| Tx:6.34 | the Holy Spirit is in your minds, your minds must also be able to | believe only what is true. The Holy Spirit can speak only for this |
| Tx:6.40 | true. From this, which you have made, you have taught yourselves to | believe that you are not what you are. You cannot teach what you have |
| Tx:6.41 | forget that what you teach is teaching you. What you project you | believe. |
| Tx:6.46 | within the Kingdom without love, and since the Kingdom is love, you | believe that you are without it. This enables the ego to regard |
| Tx:6.48 | The ego cannot hear the Holy Spirit, but it does | believe that part of the same mind that made it is against it. It |
| Tx:6.48 | maker. It believes that the best defense is attack and wants you to | believe it. Unless you do believe it you will not side with it, and |
| Tx:6.48 | best defense is attack and wants you to believe it. Unless you do | believe it you will not side with it, and the ego feels badly in need |
| Tx:6.49 | is more real than it is. No one in his right mind could possibly | believe this, and no one in his right mind does believe it. |
| Tx:6.49 | mind could possibly believe this, and no one in his right mind does | believe it. |
| Tx:6.50 | you will see the truth around you and in you, and you will no longer | believe in dreams because they will have no reality for you. |
| Tx:6.57 | taught wrongly, having believed what was not true. You did not | believe in your own perfection. Could God teach you that you had made |
| Tx:6.58 | which frightened them so badly were not real because children | believe in magic. You merely reassure them that they are safe now. |
| Tx:6.70 | a basic fear of retaliation and abandonment. This is because they | believe in attack and rejection, so this is what they perceive and |
| Tx:6.71 | you do not share a thought system, you are weakening it. Those who | believe in it therefore perceive this as an attack on them. This is |
| Tx:6.71 | his thought system, and every thought system centers on what you | believe you are. If the center of the thought system is true, only |
| Tx:6.73 | in others, he is being taught to react to both as if what he does | believe is not true. |
| Tx:6.77 | you are free to think you are. It must, however, be insane to | believe that it is up to you to decide what God's creations are. The |
| Tx:6.89 | it as it is. Since it is whole, you are teaching peace because you | believe in it. The final step will still be taken for you by God, but |
| Tx:6.91 | therefore does engender doubt. You cannot go beyond belief until you | believe fully. |
| Tx:6.94 | will to teach the same thing must be in agreement about what they | believe. |
| Tx:6.95 | The third step, then, is a statement of what you want to | believe and entails a willingness to relinquish everything else. I |
| Tx:7.5 | love to the Kingdom because I believed that was what I was. What you | believe you are determines your gifts, and if God created you by |
| Tx:7.10 | by increasing and integrates by extending. What you project you | believe. This is an immutable law of the mind in this world as well |
| Tx:7.12 | Those who are against freedom | believe that its outcome will hurt them, which cannot be true. But |
| Tx:7.14 | the law which prevails inside it is adapted to “what you project you | believe.” This is its teaching form, since outside the Kingdom |
| Tx:7.14 | what you are from what you have projected onto others and therefore | believe they are. In the Kingdom there is no teaching or learning, |
| Tx:7.29 | Kingdom is merely to focus your full attention on it. As long as you | believe that you can attend to what is not true, you are accepting |
| Tx:7.31 | means to make joyous. The dispirited are depressed, because they | believe that they are literally “without the Spirit,” which is an |
| Tx:7.32 | what already is and perceived as a means for establishing it. To | believe this is possible is to believe you can do it. This can only |
| Tx:7.32 | as a means for establishing it. To believe this is possible is to | believe you can do it. This can only be the voice of the ego. |
| Tx:7.35 | ego tries to use all abilities, since its goal is always to make you | believe that you are in opposition. |
| Tx:7.40 | must be so, since you can act in accordance with what you do not | believe. To do this, however, will weaken you as teachers and |
| Tx:7.40 | because, as has been repeatedly emphasized, you teach what you do | believe. An inconsistent lesson will be poorly taught and poorly |
| Tx:7.42 | he can offer as a gift to someone who does not have it. He may | believe that the gift comes from God to Him, but it is quite evident |
| Tx:7.55 | direct your thinking as you will is part of its power. If you do not | believe you can do this, you have denied the power of your thought |
| Tx:7.57 | afford to know anything. Knowledge is total, and the ego does not | believe in totality. This unbelief is its origin and, while the ego |
| Tx:7.59 | illusions, but it does follow that if it makes illusions it will | believe in them, because that is how it made them. |
| Tx:7.61 | if you had not believed the untrue. You cannot deny that, when you | believe something, you have made it true for you. |
| Tx:7.62 | When you | believe what God does not know, your thought seems to contradict His, |
| Tx:7.62 | are attacking Him. We have repeatedly emphasized that the ego does | believe it can attack God and tries to persuade you that you have |
| Tx:7.63 | only as long as you do not recognize what is true.] While you | believe that two totally contradictory thought systems share truth, |
| Tx:7.64 | fact. They are problems of understanding, since they mean that you | believe what you can understand is up to you to decide. The ego |
| Tx:7.65 | in the universe [of thought] as if it were weak, because you do not | believe you are part of it. |
| Tx:7.77 | who attack do not know they are blessed. They attack because they | believe they are deprived. Give therefore of your abundance and teach |
| Tx:7.78 | you feel deprived of it, and by projecting your own rejection, you | believe that others are taking it from you. One must be fearful if he |
| Tx:7.79 | Being the part of your mind which does not | believe it is responsible for itself and being without allegiance to |
| Tx:7.86 | are afraid that their projections will return and hurt them. They do | believe they have blotted their projections from their own minds, but |
| Tx:7.86 | have blotted their projections from their own minds, but they also | believe their projections are trying to creep back into them. That is |
| Tx:7.98 | which is total confusion about everything. Yet you do not really | believe this, or you could not possibly maintain it. If you really |
| Tx:7.99 | of what is in your mind depend at any given moment on what you | believe about your mind. Whatever these beliefs may be, they are the |
| Tx:7.102 | demonstrate the obvious to yourself. It is not obvious to you. You | believe that doing the opposite of God's Will can be better for you. |
| Tx:7.102 | doing the opposite of God's Will can be better for you. You also | believe that it is possible to do the opposite of God's Will. |
| Tx:7.102 | that it is possible to do the opposite of God's Will. Therefore, you | believe that an impossible choice is open to you and one which is |
| Tx:8.12 | them apart? Can you ask the part of your mind that taught you to | believe they are the same to teach you the difference between them? |
| Tx:8.25 | When you are not at peace, it can only be because you do not | believe you are in Him. Yet He is all in all. His peace is complete, |
| Tx:8.35 | Dissociation is not a solution; it is a delusion. The delusional | believe that truth will assail them, and so they do not see it, |
| Tx:8.53 | belief that attack can get you something you want. If you did not | believe this, the idea of attack would have no appeal for you. When |
| Tx:8.55 | harmful to you. If you use it only to reach the minds of those who | believe they are bodies and teach them through the body that this is |
| Tx:8.97 | No mind can | believe that its will is stronger than God's. If, then, a mind |
| Tx:8.104 | of reality is fearful, and fear cannot be created. As long as you | believe that fear is possible, you will not create. Opposing orders |
| Tx:8.110 | 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 ask of the |
| Tx:8.110 | shaken. Can you ask of the Holy Spirit truly and doubt your brother? | Believe his words are true because of the truth which is in him. You |
| Tx:8.112 | you extend it. You will not trust the guidance of the Holy Spirit or | believe that it is for you unless you hear it in others. It must be |
| Tx:8.114 | Believe in your brothers because I believe in you, and you will learn | |
| Tx:8.114 | Believe in your brothers because I | believe in you, and you will learn that my belief in you is |
| Tx:8.114 | in you, and you will learn that my belief in you is justified. | Believe in me by believing in them for the sake of what God gave |
| 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 to be |
| Tx:8.115 | against or to attack. To believe is to accept and to side with. To | believe is not to be credulous but to accept and appreciate. What you |
| Tx:8.115 | is not to be credulous but to accept and appreciate. What you do not | believe, you do not appreciate, and you cannot be grateful for what |
| Tx:8.117 | value on what you receive and have priced it by what you give. To | believe that it is possible to get much for little is to believe that |
| Tx:8.117 | give. To believe that it is possible to get much for little is to | believe that you can bargain with God. God's laws are always fair and |
| Tx:9.7 | from love. Any attempt you make to correct a brother means that you | believe correction by you is possible, and this can only be the |
| Tx:9.9 | error, and do not let your perception rest upon it, for you will | believe what your perception holds. Accept as true only what your |
| Tx:9.14 | any belief in its realness enter your minds at all, or you will also | believe that you must undo what you have made in order to be |
| Tx:9.19 | or fearful, pretty or ugly, but no one calls them true. Children may | believe them, and so for a while the tales are true for them. Yet |
| Tx:9.21 | meaningless. The unhealed healer cannot do this, because he does not | believe it. |
| Tx:9.22 | a revolt against this concept, but to revolt against it is still to | believe in it. The form of the revolt, then, is different but not the |
| Tx:9.57 | To accept your littleness is arrogant, because it means that you | believe your evaluation of yourself is truer than God's. |
| Tx:9.59 | as a means to regain eternity. You cannot do this as long as you | believe that anything which happens to you is caused by factors |
| Tx:9.61 | you from beyond it because, being in God, you encompass everything. | Believe this, and you will realize how much is up to you. When |
| Tx:9.73 | not make such an insane decision. You make it only because you still | believe that it can get you something you want. It follows, then, |
| Tx:9.76 | is the awareness that no one is separate, and so no one is sick. To | believe that a Son of God can be sick is to believe that part of God |
| Tx:9.76 | so no one is sick. To believe that a Son of God can be sick is to | believe that part of God can suffer. Love cannot suffer, because it |
| Tx:9.77 | remind him of his wholeness and remember your Creator with him? To | believe a Son of God is sick is to worship the same idol he does. God |
| Tx:9.81 | make, but you are. You would save them and serve them, because you | believe that they made you. You think they are your father because |
| Tx:9.82 | Very simply, then, you may | believe you are afraid of nothingness, but you are really afraid of |
| Tx:9.85 | irreconcilable. If God created you perfect, you are perfect. If you | believe you can be sick, you have placed other gods before Him. God |
| Tx:9.93 | not. No one can really do this, but that you can think you can and | believe you have is beyond dispute. |
| Tx:9.94 | that to deny God will inevitably result in projection, and you will | believe that others, and not yourself, have done this to you. You |
| Tx:9.94 | the message you give, because it is the message you want. You may | believe that you judge your brothers by the messages they give you, |
| Tx:9.105 | Fatherhood must be acknowledged if the real Son is to be known. You | believe that the sick things which you have made are your real |
| Tx:9.105 | sick things which you have made are your real creations, because you | believe that the sick images you perceive are the Sons of God. |
| Tx:10.6 | my Father are one with you, for you are part of us. Do you really | believe that part of God can be missing or lost to Him? |
| Tx:10.8 | simply because you have tried to limit what He created, and so you | believe that all creation is limited. How, then, could you know your |
| Tx:10.8 | not permit contradiction. What holds for God holds for you. If you | believe you are absent from God, you will believe that He is absent |
| Tx:10.8 | God holds for you. If you believe you are absent from God, you will | believe that He is absent from you. |
| Tx:10.14 | have been extended. You are afraid to know God's Will because you | believe it is not yours. This belief is your whole sickness and your |
| Tx:10.36 | Son. But come wholly without condemnation, for otherwise you will | believe that the door is barred and you cannot enter. The door is not |
| Tx:10.41 | has the power to do anything. The ego is fearful to you because you | believe this. Yet the truth is very simple: |
| Tx:10.45 | be independent of you. He has included you in His Autonomy. Can you | believe that autonomy is meaningful apart from Him? The belief in ego |
| Tx:10.52 | Upheld by fear, this is what the ego would have you | believe. Yet God's Son is not insane and cannot believe it. Let him |
| Tx:10.52 | ego would have you believe. Yet God's Son is not insane and cannot | believe it. Let him but recognize it, and he will not accept it. For |
| Tx:10.52 | insane would choose fear in place of love, and only the insane could | believe that love can be gained by attack. But the sane know that |
| Tx:10.59 | It is impossible not to | believe what you see, but it is equally impossible to see what you do |
| Tx:10.59 | what you see, but it is equally impossible to see what you do not | believe. Perceptions are built up on the basis of experience, and |
| Tx:10.59 | are fixed that perceptions stabilize. In effect, then, what you | believe, you do see. That is what I meant when I said, “Blessed are |
| Tx:10.59 | I meant when I said, “Blessed are ye who have not seen and still | believe,” for those who believe in the resurrection will see it. The |
| Tx:10.59 | “Blessed are ye who have not seen and still believe,” for those who | believe in the resurrection will see it. The resurrection is the |
| Tx:10.60 | clearly because you are interpreting against it and therefore do not | believe it. And if belief determines perception, you do not perceive |
| Tx:10.62 | And can you perceive it in yourself and not perceive it in God? | Believe in the resurrection because it has been accomplished, and it |
| Tx:10.66 | the Son of God as crucified, you are asleep. And as long as you | believe that you can crucify him, you are only having nightmares. You |
| Tx:10.67 | that I have done them unto you. Do not set limits on what you | believe I can do through you, or you will not accept what I can do |
| Tx:10.68 | mine. For your part must be like mine if you learn it of me. If you | believe that yours is limited, you are limiting mine. There is no |
| Tx:10.71 | illusion and reality. For perceptions cannot be partly true. If you | believe in truth and illusion, you cannot tell which is true. To |
| Tx:10.73 | To | believe that you can perceive the real world is to believe that you |
| Tx:10.73 | To believe that you can perceive the real world is to | believe that you can know yourself. You can know God because it is |
| Tx:10.74 | nothing more than that only reality is true is necessary. But do you | believe it? When you have perceived the real world, you will |
| Tx:10.74 | have perceived the real world, you will recognize that you did not | believe it. Yet the swiftness with which your new and only real |
| Tx:10.80 | The Holy Spirit will answer every specific problem as long as you | believe that problems are specific. His answer is both many and one, |
| Tx:10.80 | are specific. His answer is both many and one, as long as you | believe that the one is many. Realize that you are afraid of His |
| Tx:10.81 | You are refusing to ask because you | believe that asking is taking, and you do not perceive it as sharing. |
| Tx:10.82 | Little Children of God, you do not understand your Father. You | believe in a world that takes, because you believe that you can get |
| Tx:10.82 | your Father. You believe in a world that takes, because you | believe that you can get by taking. And by that perception, you have |
| Tx:10.83 | Child of God, you are asking only for what I promised you. Do you | believe I would deceive you? The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. |
| Tx:10.83 | believe I would deceive you? The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. | Believe that the truth is in me, for I know that it is in you. God's |
| Tx:11.1 | error real, and the way to do this is very simple. If you want to | believe in error, you would have to make it real because it is not |
| Tx:11.1 | because it is not true. But truth is real in its own right, and to | believe in truth, you do not have to do anything. Understand that you |
| Tx:11.17 | recognizes that he does not know what his perceptions mean. Yet you | believe that you do know. Little children, you are hiding your heads |
| Tx:11.28 | only answer. Never lose sight of this, and never allow yourself to | believe even for an instant that there is another answer. For you |
| Tx:11.34 | only in the mind of its maker along with his real salvation. Do not | believe it is outside of yourself, for only by recognizing where it |
| Tx:11.40 | search for your home whether you know where it is or not. If you | believe it is outside yourself, the search will be futile, for you |
| Tx:11.40 | is not. You do not know how to look within yourself, for you do not | believe your home is there. Yet the Holy Spirit knows it for you, and |
| Tx:11.41 | treasure, you will sell everything else to purchase it. And you will | believe that you have purchased it because you have sold everything |
| Tx:11.43 | the situation you have made. You use attack to do so because you | believe that attack was successful in weakening you. |
| Tx:11.65 | As long as you | believe you have two functions, so long will you need correction. For |
| Tx:11.65 | you see? Of whose presence would you be convinced? For you will | believe in what you manifest, and as you look out, so will you see |
| Tx:11.66 | integration, and if it is split and wants to keep the split, it will | believe it has one goal by making it one. |
| Tx:11.68 | not within. This gives it an illusion of integrity and enables it to | believe that it is pursuing one goal. As long as you perceive the |
| Tx:11.69 | accepted opposition there, having sought it there. But do not then | believe that the witnesses for opposition are true, for they attest |
| Tx:11.75 | God to Whom treachery is impossible, but it is a traitor to you who | believe you have been treacherous to your Father. That is why the |
| Tx:11.75 | not from the ego because, by confusing yourself with the ego, you | believe that you want death. And from what you want, God does not |
| Tx:11.77 | Do you really | believe that you can kill the Son of God? The Father has hidden His |
| Tx:11.87 | Father was lost, since only those who do not understand Him could | believe it. |
| Tx:11.91 | spread along the past behind you and will disappear. As long as you | believe the Son of God is guilty, you will walk along this carpet, |
| Tx:11.98 | notion that attack is salvation. And you who cherish guilt must also | believe it, for how else but by identifying with the ego could you |
| Tx:12.5 | In the calm light of truth, let us recognize that you | believe you have crucified God's Son. You have not admitted to this |
| Tx:12.5 | the ego does want to kill you, and if you identify with it, you must | believe its goal is yours. |
| Tx:12.7 | seen its results and you still lack faith in it. You must, then, | believe that by not learning the course, you are protecting yourself. |
| Tx:12.8 | the alternative with gladness. You are afraid of redemption, and you | believe it will kill you. Make no mistake about the depth of your |
| Tx:12.8 | will kill you. Make no mistake about the depth of your fear. For you | believe that in the presence of truth you will turn on yourself and |
| Tx:12.11 | even upon the ego's darkest cornerstone without fear if you did not | believe that, without the ego, you would find within yourself |
| Tx:12.12 | to look even upon your savage wish to kill God's Son if you did not | believe that it saves you from love. For this wish caused the |
| Tx:12.12 | Father would impel you to answer His call and leap into Heaven. You | believe that attack is salvation to prevent you from this. For still |
| Tx:12.14 | it would sweep you away from yourself and make you little. For you | believe that magnitude lies in defiance and that attack is grandeur. |
| Tx:12.21 | live in the light, and it must seek a place of darkness where it can | believe it is where it is not. God did not allow this to happen. Yet |
| Tx:12.24 | reality to establish yours. If their reality is questioned, you | believe that yours is. For you believe that attack is your reality |
| Tx:12.24 | If their reality is questioned, you believe that yours is. For you | believe that attack is your reality and that your destruction is the |
| Tx:12.48 | continuous and make them so for you. But do not be deceived and then | believe that this is how it is, for to believe that reality is what |
| Tx:12.48 | do not be deceived and then believe that this is how it is, for to | believe that reality is what you would have it be according to your |
| Tx:13.11 | its laws, for they are laws of punishment. And those who follow them | believe that they are guilty, and so they must condemn. Between the |
| Tx:13.14 | other, and guilt has become as true for you as innocence. You do not | believe the Son of God is guiltless because you see the past and see |
| Tx:13.15 | himself and make himself guilty is insane. In any form, in anyone, | believe this not. For sin and condemnation are the same, and the |
| Tx:13.18 | too afraid to look upon the light within. Within you is not what you | believe is there and what you put your faith in. |
| Tx:13.22 | those who suffer guilt will attempt to displace it, because they do | believe in it. Yet, though they suffer, they will not look within and |
| Tx:13.25 | As long as you | believe that guilt is justified in any way in anyone whatever he may |
| Tx:13.25 | find Atonement. The end of guilt will never come as long as you | believe there is a reason for it. For you must learn that guilt is |
| Tx:13.42 | within you, joining your minds with His, cannot be broken. You may | believe you want it broken, and this belief does interfere with the |
| Tx:13.52 | And while you think it possible to learn to do this, you will not | believe all that is possible to learn to do. |
| Tx:13.54 | happy. The Holy Spirit cannot teach without this contrast, for you | believe that misery is happiness. This has so confused you that you |
| Tx:13.55 | already burdened or you would not have sought another. You will | believe that nothing is of value and will value it. A little piece of |
| Tx:13.62 | was? This simple lesson holds the key to the dark door which you | believe is locked forever. You made this door of nothing and behind |
| Tx:13.65 | pain of guilt and do not look upon it as having value in itself. You | believe that guilt and guiltlessness are both of value, each |
| Tx:13.73 | of. Those who accept the Atonement are invulnerable. But those who | believe they are guilty will respond to guilt because they think it |
| Tx:13.73 | is salvation and will not refuse to see it and side with it. [They | believe that increasing guilt is self-protection.] And they will fail |
| Tx:13.74 | All this arises because they do not | believe that what they want is good. Yet will was given them because |
| Tx:13.86 | of your brother's guiltlessness shining within him while you still | believe it is not there. His guiltlessness is your Atonement. Grant |
| Tx:14.13 | Remember for everyone your Father's power that He has given him. | Believe not that you cannot teach His perfect peace. Stand not |
| Tx:14.25 | cannot know this, for by hiding truth in fear, you see no reason to | believe the more you look at fear, the less you see it, and the |
| Tx:14.52 | for you are much too confused either to recognize love or to | believe that everything else is nothing but a need for love. You are |
| Tx:14.53 | the content must be. Otherwise, it will attack the form. You who | believe you understand something of the dynamics of the mind, let me |
| Tx:14.62 | each one for the bright lesson He has learned for you. Never | believe that any lesson you have learned apart from Him means |
| Tx:15.4 | the ego aims at death and dissolution as an end, it does not | believe it. The goal of death, which it craves for you, leaves it |
| Tx:15.7 | advertise its final threat, for it would have its worshipers still | believe that it can offer the escape from it. But the belief in guilt |
| Tx:15.7 | the future. For no one who considers himself as deserving hell can | believe that punishment will end in peace. |
| Tx:15.24 | think you are and represents the value that you put upon yourself. | Believe the little can content you, and by limiting yourself, you |
| Tx:15.35 | This course is not beyond immediate learning unless you prefer to | believe that what God wills takes time. And this means only that you |
| Tx:15.41 | perfect communication that makes the holy instant what it is. You | believe that it is possible to harbor thoughts you would not share |
| Tx:15.45 | do not know what anything means. You are afraid of this because you | believe that without the ego all would be chaos. Yet I assure you |
| Tx:15.46 | is the source 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 |
| Tx:15.47 | to God, Who knows no special love, how can you understand it? To | believe that special relationships, with special love, can offer you |
| Tx:15.58 | satisfaction in gratifying your needs as you perceive them, you must | believe that strength comes from another, and what you gain he loses. |
| Tx:15.59 | You do not find it difficult to | believe that, when another calls on God for love, your call remains |
| Tx:15.72 | What releases him from guilt is “bad,” because he would no longer | believe that bodies communicate, and so he would be “gone.” |
| Tx:15.73 | they seek relief from guilt by increasing it in the other. For they | believe that this decreases it in them. The other seems always to be |
| Tx:15.75 | teach through fear. And how can He communicate with you while you | believe that to communicate is to make yourself alone? It is clearly |
| Tx:15.75 | to communicate is to make yourself alone? It is clearly insane to | believe that by communicating you will be abandoned. And yet you do |
| Tx:15.75 | believe that by communicating you will be abandoned. And yet you do | believe it. For you think that your minds must be kept private or you |
| Tx:15.76 | of the ego's plan to establish its own autonomy. As long as you | believe that to be with a body is companionship, you will be |
| Tx:15.77 | It is the Holy Spirit's teaching function to instruct those who | believe that communication is damnation that communication is |
| Tx:15.83 | communication, for He does not share it with you. It is only you who | believe that it is understandable. |
| Tx:15.95 | one you do not want, they go together. The idea is simply this—you | believe that it is possible to be host to the ego or hostage to God. |
| Tx:15.95 | This is the choice you think you have, and the decision which you | believe that you must make. |
| Tx:15.97 | As host to the ego, you | believe that you can give all your guilt away whatever you think and |
| Tx:15.98 | then, has God become to you, and how great a sacrifice do you | believe His love demands! For total love would demand total |
| Tx:15.104 | You who | believe that sacrifice is love must learn that sacrifice is |
| Tx:16.13 | clearly been accomplished through your willingness, as long as you | believe that you must understand it or else it is not real. |
| Tx:16.14 | lack of understanding is a loss to you, and so you are unwilling to | believe that what has happened is true. But can you really believe |
| Tx:16.14 | to believe that what has happened is true. But can you really | believe that all that has happened, even though you do not understand |
| Tx:16.22 | you not have faith in what you have so diligently taught yourself to | believe? Yet remember how much care you have exerted in choosing its |
| Tx:16.23 | outside of you. You could never have taught freedom unless you did | believe in it. And it must be that what you taught came from |
| Tx:16.44 | considers it bizarre to love and hate together, and even those who | believe that hate is sin merely feel guilty and do not correct it. |
| Tx:16.46 | He denied. It is essential to the preservation of the ego that you | believe this specialness is not hell, but Heaven. For the ego would |
| Tx:17.3 | is that there are some things you would withhold from truth. You | believe that truth cannot deal with them only because you would keep |
| Tx:17.8 | world and this is so little and so easy to cross that you could not | believe it is the meeting place of worlds so different. Yet this |
| Tx:17.35 | gift is given you for your damnation, and if you take it, you will | believe that you are damned. You cannot have the frame without the |
| Tx:17.48 | was there to accept the relationship, why would you now not still | believe that He is there to purify what He has taken under His |
| Tx:17.51 | hand to walk together along a road far more familiar than you now | believe. Is it not certain that you will remember a goal unchanged |
| Tx:17.64 | witnesses to your lack of faith. They demonstrate that you did not | believe that the situation and the problem were in the same place. |
| Tx:17.79 | and you had faith in it, for no one accepts what he does not | believe is real. Your purpose has not changed and will not change, |
| Tx:18.4 | You who | believe that God is fear made but one substitution. It has taken many |
| Tx:18.7 | depart from you. Inward is sanity; insanity is outside you. You but | believe it is the other way; that truth is outside and error and |
| Tx:18.27 | hold mine, for when you joined each other you were not alone. Do you | believe that I would leave you in the darkness you agreed to leave |
| Tx:18.34 | God did not create His dwelling-place unworthy of Him. And if you | believe He cannot enter where He wills to be, you must be interfering |
| Tx:18.35 | It is impossible to make arrogant preparations for holiness and not | believe that it is up to you to establish the conditions for peace. |
| Tx:18.40 | everything that is natural and easy for you impossible. What you | believe to be impossible will be if God so wills it, but you will |
| Tx:18.40 | if God so wills it, but you will remain quite unaware of it. If you | believe the holy instant is difficult for you, it is because you have |
| Tx:18.45 | dream through which He can spread joy to thousands on thousands who | believe that love is fear, not happiness. Let Him fulfill the |
| Tx:18.46 | to experience fear alone or to attempt to deal with it alone. Never | believe that this is necessary or even possible. Yet just as this is |
| Tx:18.68 | do nothing” is a statement of allegiance, a truly undivided loyalty. | Believe it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is |
| Tx:18.89 | remain guilt's messenger and will act as it directs as long as you | believe that guilt is real. For the reality of guilt is the illusion |
| Tx:19.30 | how to look on time differently and see beyond it, but not while you | believe in sin. In error, yes; for this can be corrected by the mind. |
| Tx:19.31 | When you are tempted to | believe that sin is real, remember this: If sin is real, both God and |
| Tx:19.31 | wills to destroy Him and has the power to do so. Is it not easier to | believe that you have been mistaken than to believe in this? |
| Tx:19.31 | so. Is it not easier to believe that you have been mistaken than to | believe in this? |
| Tx:19.32 | While you | believe that your reality or your brother's is bounded by a body, you |
| Tx:19.32 | that your reality or your brother's is bounded by a body, you will | believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can unite, you will |
| Tx:19.32 | brother's is bounded by a body, you will believe in sin. While you | believe that bodies can unite, you will find guilt attractive and |
| Tx:19.32 | believe that bodies can unite, you will find guilt attractive and | believe that sin is precious. For the belief that bodies limit mind |
| Tx:19.57 | is not real. The body does appear to be the symbol of sin while you | believe that it can get you what you want. While you believe that it |
| Tx:19.57 | sin while you believe that it can get you what you want. While you | believe that it can give you pleasure, you will also believe that it |
| Tx:19.57 | want. While you believe that it can give you pleasure, you will also | believe that it can bring you pain. |
| Tx:19.60 | the value that you think peace would rob you of. This is what you | believe that it would dispossess and leave you homeless. And it is |
| Tx:19.75 | Hear not its madness, and | believe not the impossible is true. Forget not that the ego has |
| Tx:19.75 | in solemn celebration of the ego's rule. Not one but must | believe that yielding to the attraction of guilt is the escape from |
| Tx:19.81 | and lamented by every mourner who looks upon it as himself. You who | believe you have condemned the Son of God to this are arrogant. But |
| Tx:19.96 | of your will. Look upon it open-eyed and you will nevermore | believe that you are at the mercy of things beyond you, forces you |
| Tx:20.20 | you in the world. And to this world must you adjust, as long as you | believe this picture is outside and has you at its mercy. This world |
| Tx:20.24 | of what is totally bereft of judgment? And if you have, would you | believe the answer and adjust to it as if it were the truth? The |
| Tx:20.74 | recognized for what they are. This is the healing and the remedy. | Believe them not, and they are gone. And all you need to do is |
| Tx:21.6 | They do not understand the lessons keep them blind. This they do not | believe. And so they keep the world they learned to “see” in their |
| Tx:21.33 | to illusions does not lack power, for by it does the Son of God | believe that he is powerless. Thus is he faithless to himself, but |
| Tx:21.37 | Those who | believe in sin must think the Holy Spirit asks for sacrifice, for |
| Tx:21.42 | your eyes will light on sin, and God will strike you blind. This you | believe, and so you do not look. Yet this is not the ego's hidden |
| Tx:21.50 | worthlessness, and feelings of impermanence and unreality. You will | believe that you are helpless prey to forces far beyond your own |
| Tx:21.50 | made directs your destiny. For this will be your faith. But never | believe because it is your faith it makes reality. |
| Tx:21.59 | help. Yet if you will not accept the help you call for, you will not | believe that it is yours to give. And so you will not give it, thus |
| Tx:21.62 | insane to listen to it. But the insane know not their will. For they | believe they see the body and let their madness tell them it is real. |
| Tx:21.70 | requirement that it demands to be believed. Only the helpless could | believe in it. Enormity has no appeal save to the little. And only |
| Tx:21.70 | Enormity has no appeal save to the little. And only those who first | believe that they are little could see attraction there. Treachery to |
| Tx:21.71 | of God is powerless. And those who see themselves as helpless must | believe that they are not the Son of God. What can they be except his |
| Tx:21.74 | faith in sin without an enemy. Who that believes in sin would dare | believe he has no enemy? Could he admit that no one made him |
| Tx:22.5 | have a different will. Yet if you are his will, what you must then | believe is that you are not yourself. You can indeed believe this, |
| Tx:22.5 | you must then believe is that you are not yourself. You can indeed | believe this, and you do. And you have faith in this and see much |
| Tx:22.8 | What could be secret from God's Will? Yet you | believe that you have secrets. What could your secrets be except |
| Tx:22.19 | other in every way, in every instance, and without exception. To | believe that one exception can exist is to confuse what is the same |
| Tx:22.25 | your Creator and with a will opposed to His. For only if you would | believe His Son could be His enemy does it seem possible that what |
| Tx:22.32 | its church is built and where its worshipers are bound to bodies and | believe the body's freedom is their own. |
| Tx:22.36 | you would attack except what you associate with his body, which you | believe can sin? Beyond his errors is his holiness and your |
| Tx:22.51 | will seek for it where he believes it is and can be found. He will | believe it possible of mind or body, and he will make the other serve |
| Tx:22.62 | know His power is yours. But you will not remember this while you | believe attack of any kind means anything. It is unjustified in any |
| Tx:23.2 | How strange indeed becomes this war against yourself! You will | believe that everything you use for sin can hurt you and become your |
| Tx:23.7 | in victory is cherished. Conflict within you must imply that you | believe the ego has the power to be victorious. Why else would you |
| Tx:23.9 | beliefs converge upon the body, the ego's chosen home, which you | believe is yours. You meet at a mistake—an error in your |
| Tx:23.11 | in the body's life, and if you think you are a body, you will | believe you have forgotten it. Yet truth can never be forgotten by |
| Tx:23.24 | the Creator of reality must be; what He must think and what He must | believe; and how He must respond, believing it. It is not seen as |
| Tx:23.31 | He must have this substitute for love and kill you both. You who | believe you walk in sanity, with feet on solid ground and through a |
| Tx:23.36 | You would maintain and think it true that you do not | believe these senseless laws nor act upon them. And when you look at |
| Tx:23.36 | you look at what they say, they cannot be believed. Brothers, you do | believe them. For how else could you perceive the form they take with |
| Tx:23.36 | with content such as this? Can any form of this be tenable? Yet you | believe them for the form they take and do not recognize the content. |
| Tx:23.44 | it makes no compromise. Yet it seems difficult to those who still | believe that compromise is possible. They do not see that, if it is, |
| Tx:23.45 | Those who | believe that peace can be defended and that attack is justified on |
| Tx:23.49 | to create unto His Son because it is His own. It is not sinful to | believe the function of the Son is murder, but it is insanity. What |
| Tx:24.1 | He wills to be? Peace will be yours because it is His Will. Can you | believe a shadow can hold back the Will that holds the universe |
| Tx:24.2 | make. For a decision is a conclusion based on everything that you | believe. It is the outcome of belief and follows it as surely as does |
| Tx:24.43 | on still with joy. Yet is it joy to look upon decay and madness and | believe this crumbling thing, with flesh already loosened from the |
| Tx:24.61 | You who | believe it easier to see your brother's body than his holiness, be |
| Tx:25.2 | to recognize Him everywhere. Except in bodies. And as long as they | believe they are in bodies, where they think they are He cannot be. |
| Tx:25.5 | you, you are manifest in what you see. Behold the body, and you will | believe that you are there. And every body that you look upon reminds |
| Tx:25.8 | Since you | believe that you are separate, Heaven presents itself to you as |
| Tx:25.21 | may see His Son as one and thank his Father as He thanks you. Nor | believe that all His praise is given not to you. For what you give is |
| Tx:25.23 | is in strict accord with vision's fundamental law: you see what you | believe is there, and you believe it there because you want it there. |
| Tx:25.23 | vision's fundamental law: you see what you believe is there, and you | believe it there because you want it there. Perception has no other |
| Tx:25.37 | upon the other for whatever sense it seems to have. And no one could | believe in one unless the other were the truth, for each attests the |
| Tx:25.38 | have hurt yourself and made your Self your “enemy.” And now you must | believe you are not you but something alien to yourself and |
| Tx:25.42 | will you understand His love for you; through your attack | believe He hates you, thinking Heaven must be hell. Look once again |
| Tx:25.51 | would not be difficult for you. For it is this that you do not | believe. Yet there is nothing else you could believe if you but |
| Tx:25.51 | is this that you do not believe. Yet there is nothing else you could | believe if you but looked at what it really is. |
| Tx:25.53 | with the mind Whose Thought created him. And if he chooses to | believe one thought opposed to truth, he has decided he is not his |
| Tx:25.53 | and sanity must lie apart from both the Father and the Son. This you | believe. Think not that this belief depends upon the form it takes. |
| Tx:25.55 | Test everything that you | believe against this one requirement. And understand that everything |
| Tx:25.55 | Love is the basis for a world perceived as wholly mad to sinners who | believe theirs is the way to sanity. But sin is equally insane within |
| Tx:25.56 | and where you can be free of place and time and all that you | believe must limit you. The Son of God cannot be bound by time nor |
| Tx:25.60 | and destruction be the total cost of any gain at all. You who | believe that God is mad, look carefully at this and understand that |
| Tx:25.63 | take it from you without your willingness. For if He did, you would | believe He wrested it from you against your will. And so you would |
| Tx:25.64 | is asked of you. What but a little faith remains to those who still | believe in sin? What could they know of Heaven and the justice of the |
| Tx:25.67 | perceive it is not true? It is extremely hard for those who still | believe sin meaningful to understand the Holy Spirit's justice. |
| Tx:25.68 | They must | believe He shares their own confusion and cannot avoid the vengeance |
| Tx:25.68 | torn from the “fires” of Heaven by God's own angry hand. They do | believe that Heaven is hell and are afraid of love. And deep |
| Tx:25.71 | who think that all of this is true? Could He, in justice and in love | believe in your confusion you have much to give? You are not asked to |

| Tx:29.61 | the dream you made, and ask yourself if it be not the truth that you | believe that it is not a dream. A dream of judgment came into the |

| W1:I.5 | them to what you see. You are not asked to judge them nor even to | believe them. You are asked only to use them. It is their use which |
| W1:I.5 | to you and show you they are true. Remember only this—you need not | believe them, you need not accept them, and you need not welcome |
| W1:5.1 | you think is causing you pain. Apply it specifically to whatever you | believe is the cause of your upset, using the description of the |
| W1:5.4 | which you first search your mind for “sources” of upset in which you | believe and forms of upset which you think result. |
| W1:7.1 | This idea is particularly difficult to | believe at first. Yet it is the rationale for all of the preceding |
| W1:7.8 | ideas about time are very difficult to change because everything you | believe is rooted in time and depends on your not learning these new |
| W1:9.2 | It is difficult for the untrained mind to | believe that what seems to be pictured before it is not there. This |
| W1:10.5 | This idea will help to release me from all that I now | believe. |
| W1:10.9 | This idea will help to release me from all that I now | believe. |
| W1:13.8 | because of the “vengeance” of the “enemy.” You are not expected to | believe the statement at this point and will probably try to dismiss |
| W1:17.1 | It is always the thought that comes first, despite the temptation to | believe that it is really the other way around. This is not the way |
| W1:17.8 | As usual, it is essential to make no distinction between what you | believe to be animate or inanimate, pleasant or unpleasant. |
| W1:17.8 | or inanimate, pleasant or unpleasant. Regardless of what you may | believe, you do not see anything which is really alive and really |
| W1:21.3 | not really recognize what arouses anger in you, and nothing that you | believe in this connection means anything. You will probably be |
| W1:25.2 | anything is for. As a result, you are bound to misuse it. When you | believe this, you will try to withdraw the goals you have assigned to |
| W1:26.1 | invulnerable. You see attack as a real threat. That is because you | believe that you can really attack. And what would have effects |
| W1:26.2 | be projected, you will fear attack. And if you fear attack, you must | believe that you are not invulnerable. Attack thoughts therefore make |
| W1:26.3 | Thus they have attacked your perception of yourself. And because you | believe in them, you can no longer believe in yourself. A false image |
| W1:26.3 | of yourself. And because you believe in them, you can no longer | believe in yourself. A false image of yourself has come to take the |
| W1:27.2 | There may be a great temptation to | believe that some sort of sacrifice is being asked of you when you |
| W1:35.1 | you. It is difficult for anyone who thinks he is in this world to | believe this of himself. Yet the reason he thinks he is in this world |
| W1:35.1 | Yet the reason he thinks he is in this world is because he does not | believe it. |
| W1:35.2 | You will | believe that you are part of where you think you are. That is because |
| W1:35.2 | made. The image is part of this environment. What you see while you | believe you are in it is seen through the eyes of the image. This is |
| W1:39.2 | in answering is not due to the ambiguity of the question. But do you | believe that guilt is hell? If you did, you would see at once how |
| W1:41.1 | of loss. The separated ones have invented many “cures” for what they | believe to be the “ills of the world.” But the one thing they do not |
| W1:41.4 | We understand that you do not | believe all this. How could you, when the truth is hidden deep within |
| W1:41.7 | it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open if you | believe that it is possible. This exercise can bring very startling |
| W1:44.5 | you practice in this form, you leave behind everything that you now | believe and all the thoughts which you have made up. Properly |
| W1:44.6 | that to reach light is to escape from darkness, whatever you may | believe to the contrary. God is the Light in which you see. You are |
| W1:47.2 | Of yourself, you can do none of these things. To | believe that you can is to put your trust where trust is unwarranted |
| W1:47.6 | is associated with feelings of inadequacy, since otherwise you would | believe that you could deal with the situation successfully. It is |
| W1:48.1 | idea for today simply states a fact. It is not a fact to those who | believe in illusions, but illusions are not facts. In truth there is |
| W1:50.1 | you today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this world, you | believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your faith is placed |
| W1:55.6 | that I attempt to use everyone and everything. It is this that I | believe the world is for. Therefore I do not recognize its real |
| W1:68.2 | split you off from your Source and make you unlike Him. It makes you | believe that He is like what you think you have become, for no one |
| W1:68.9 | surrounding you, hovering over you, and holding you up. Try to | believe, however briefly, that nothing can harm you in any way. At |
| W1:69.5 | From where you stand, you can see no reason to | believe there is a brilliant light hidden by the clouds. The clouds |
| W1:70.1 | is nothing more than some form of the basic temptation not to | believe the idea for today. Salvation seems to come from anywhere |
| W1:71.1 | for salvation in opposition to God's. It is this plan in which you | believe. Since it is the opposite of God's, you also believe that to |
| W1:71.1 | in which you 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 |
| W1:71.1 | you will realize that, however preposterous it may be, you do | believe it. |
| W1:71.3 | grievance you hold is a declaration and an assertion in which you | believe that says, “If this were different, I would be saved.” The |
| W1:72.2 | the best means to expand communication. Yet the ego would have you | believe that it is. |
| W1:75.9 | Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving. | Believe He will not fail you now. You have forgiven the world. He |
| W1:76.8 | of the body's protection in innumerable ways. Think further—you | believe in the laws of friendship, of “good” relationships, and |
| W1:87.5 | because there is no will but God's. I can become afraid only when I | believe that there is another will. I try to attack only when I am |
| W1:87.5 | 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 will recognize |
| W1:88.7 | My perception of this shows me I | believe in laws which do not exist. I see only the laws of God at |
| W1:90.5 | solved. I seem to have problems only because I am misusing time. I | believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse before it |
| W1:92.1 | is tied up with the body and its eyes and brain. This is why you | believe that you can change what you see by putting little bits of |
| W1:92.2 | the conviction you are a body and the body's eyes can see. You also | believe the body's brain can think. If you but understood the nature |
| W1:92.2 | bound until you let it go. Yet this is no more foolish than to | believe the body's eyes can see, the brain can think. |
| W1:93.2 | bowed down to idols made of dust—all this is true by what you now | believe. |
| W1:95.1 | accept this and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you | believe that you have changed yourself already. You see yourself as a |
| W1:99.16 | of doubt and fear forever from your mind. If you are tempted to | believe them true, remember that appearances cannot withstand the |
| W1:101.1 | This is a key idea in understanding what salvation means. You still | believe it asks for suffering as penance for your “sins.” This is not |
| W1:101.1 | for your “sins.” This is not so. Yet you must think it so while you | believe that sin is real and that God's Son can sin. If sin is real, |
| W1:101.5 | periods today. The exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you | believe must come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause. |
| W1:102.1 | want to suffer. You may think it buys you something and may still | believe a little that it buys you what you want. Yet this belief is |
| W1:121.9 | The unforgiving mind does not | believe that giving and receiving are the same. Yet we will try to |
| W1:124.9 | Your benefit will not be less if you | believe that nothing happens. You may not be ready to accept the gain |
| W1:126.2 | Let us consider what you do | believe in place of this idea. It seems to you that other people are |
| W1:126.13 | to His correction and His Love. And what you hear of Him you will | believe, for what He gives will be received by you. |
| W1:127.2 | on one and yet remain itself although it is withheld from others. To | believe these things of love is not to understand it. If it could |
| W1:127.7 | For 15 minutes twice today escape from every law in which you now | believe. Open your mind and rest. The world that seems to hold you |
| W1:128.1 | can use in any way, nor anything at all that serves to give you joy. | Believe this thought, and you are saved from years of misery, from |
| W1:128.4 | thoughts delay your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation to | believe the world has anything you want to hold you back. Nothing is |
| W1:130.4 | separation, all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you | believe make up the world. They are not there. Love's enemy has made |
| W1:133.10 | will not perceive that he has merely failed to gain. He will | believe that he has served the ego's hidden goals. And though he |
| W1:133.11 | to the dictates of his guide. This guidance teaches it is error to | believe that sins are but mistakes, for who would suffer for his sins |
| W1:133.12 | And so we come to the criterion for choice which is the hardest to | believe, because its obviousness is overlaid with many levels of |
| W1:133.17 | Should you begin to let yourself collect some needless burdens or | believe you see some difficult decisions facing you, be quick to |
| W1:134.3 | that you find in genuine forgiveness on your part is that you still | believe you must forgive the truth and not illusions. You conceive of |
| W1:134.4 | as deception. For it is impossible to think of sin as true and not | believe forgiveness is a lie. Thus is forgiveness really but a sin, |
| W1:135.28 | Try not to shape this day as you | believe would benefit you most. For you cannot conceive of all the |
| W1:136.3 | magic wands you wave when truth appears to threaten what you would | believe. They seem to be unconscious but because of the rapidity with |
| W1:136.11 | Such is your planning for your own defense. And you | believe that Heaven quails before such mad attacks as these, with God |
| W1:138.1 | In this world, Heaven is a choice because here we | believe there are alternatives to choose between. We think that all |
| W1:139.3 | To be alive and not to know yourself is to | believe that you are really dead. For what is life except to be |
| W1:139.7 | to ask what it must be is all the proof you need to show that you | believe the contradiction that you know not what you cannot fail to |
| W1:151.2 | 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 your senses do |
| W1:151.2 | you learned a long while since your senses do deceive. That you | believe them to the last detail which they report is even stranger |
| W1:151.4 | is a right to be withheld from you. You cannot judge. You merely can | believe the ego's judgments, all of which are false. It guides your |
| W1:151.5 | it speaks of and would yet defend it tells you is yourself. And you | believe that this is so with stubborn certainty. Yet underneath |
| W1:151.5 | that what it shows you as reality with such conviction it does not | believe. It is itself alone that it condemns. It is within itself it |
| W1:151.6 | not share the doubts their lord cannot completely vanquish. You | believe to doubt his vassals is to doubt yourself. Yet you must learn |
| W1:152.2 | You may | believe that this position is extreme and too inclusive to be true. |
| W1:152.6 | Is it not strange that you | believe to think you made the world you see is arrogance? God made it |
| W1:152.7 | And can you see what God created not? To think you can is merely to | believe you can perceive what God willed not to be. And what could be |
| W1:153.7 | you now from your delusion of an angry god whose fearful image you | believe you see at work in all the evils of the world? What but |
| W1:154.1 | not in hell. And what we think is weakness can be strength; what we | believe to be our strength is often arrogance. |
| W1:155.1 | those who have not yet perceived the way will recognize you also and | believe that you are like them as you were before. |
| W1:160.1 | Who could be sane in such a circumstance? Who but a madman could | believe he is what he is not and judge against himself? |
| W1:166.2 | God, and so it is not real. Yet those who think it real must still | believe there is another will, and one that leads to opposite effects |
| W1:166.3 | are not acceptable to anyone who holds such strange beliefs. He must | believe that, to accept God's gifts, however evident they may become, |
| W1:169.2 | that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace cannot | believe the world of fear is real. |
| W1:170.1 | is protection; you are safe because of cruelty. You mean that you | believe to hurt another brings you freedom. And you mean that to |
| W1:170.10 | stressed about the obstacles to peace. The final one, the hardest to | believe is nothing and a seeming obstacle with the appearance of a |
| W1:181.5 | by a little while. We do not look to past beliefs, and what we will | believe will not intrude upon us now. We enter in the time of |
| W1:184.5 | to teach the mind a thousand alien names and thousands more. Yet you | believe this is what learning means—its one essential goal by which |
| W1:184.8 | you make appeal. His true Identity is hidden from you by what you | believe he really is. His body makes response to what you call him, |
| W1:185.8 | the words you use in making your requests. Consider but what you | believe will comfort you and bring you happiness. But be you not |
| W1:187.3 | the world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you will not | believe that this is done until you see the miracles it brings to |
| W1:187.8 | Never | believe that you can sacrifice. There is no place for sacrifice in |
| W1:188.2 | This light cannot be lost. Why wait to find it in the future or | believe it has been lost already or was never there? It can so easily |
| W1:191.4 | You are as God created you. All else but this one thing is folly to | believe. In this one thought is everything set free. In this one |
| W1:193.10 | Shall we not learn to say these words when we are tempted to | believe that pain is real and death becomes our choice instead of |
| W1:196.3 | would distort the truth will not deceive you longer. You will not | believe you are a body to be crucified. And you will see within |
| W1:196.5 | belief the fear of God is real. And what is that but hell? Who could | believe his Father is his deadly enemy, separate from him and waiting |
| W1:196.6 | Such is the form of madness you | believe if you accept the fearful thought you can attack another and |
| W1:196.8 | by your own thoughts, the fear of God must disappear. You do not now | believe that fear is caused without. And God, Whom you had thought to |
| W1:198.8 | How foolish to | believe that They could die! How foolish to believe you can attack! |
| W1:198.8 | How foolish to believe that They could die! How foolish to | believe you can attack! How mad to think that you could be condemned |
| W1:199.7 | Be free today, and carry freedom as your gift to those who still | believe they are enslaved within a body. Be you free, so that the |

| W2:228.1 | My Father knows my holiness. Shall I deny His knowledge and | believe in what His knowledge makes impossible? Shall I accept as |
| W2:246.1 | his Father or my Self. Let me not fail to recognize myself and still | believe that my awareness can contain my Father, or my mind conceive |
| W2:WIB.5 | with what you think will make you safe. Whatever it may be, you will | believe that it is one with you. Your safety lies in truth and not in |

| M:I.2 | There are only two thought systems, and you demonstrate that you | believe one or the other is true all the time. From your |
| M:I.2 | teaching. Teaching is but a call to witnesses to attest to what you | believe. It is a method of conversion. This is not done by words |
| M:I.3 | determined exclusively by what you think you are and what you | believe the relationship of others is to you. In the formal teaching |
| M:I.3 | what you say that teaches you. Teaching but reinforces what you | believe about yourself. Its fundamental purpose is to diminish self |
| M:1.1 | enough. He has entered an agreement with God even if he does not yet | believe in Him. He has become a bringer of salvation. He has become a |

| M:5.10 | for God's Voice in this brother who would so deceive himself as to | believe God's Son can suffer. And they remind him that he has not |
| M:11.3 | These problems are not real, but that is meaningless to those who | believe in them. And everyone believes in what he made, for it was |
| M:12.4 | separation, but because of what they use the body for, they do not | believe in the illusion despite appearances. |
| M:13.6 | You may | believe this course requires sacrifice of all you really hold dear. |
| M:13.7 | A split that cannot happen. Yet a split in which you surely will | believe, because you have set up a situation that is impossible. And |
| M:15.3 | Is this your judgment on yourself, teacher of God? Do you | believe that this is wholly true? No, not yet, not yet. But this is |
| M:17.6 | is inevitable, for its outcome must be death. How then can one | believe in one's defenses? Magic again must help. Forget the battle. |
| M:17.6 | Accept your separation, but do not remember how it came about. | Believe that you have won it, but do not retain the slightest memory |
| M:17.9 | that is not there, yet is the anger certain witness that you do | believe in it as fact. Now is escape impossible until you see you |

| M:22.6 | the power to heal all individuals of all forms of sickness. Not to | believe this is to be unfair to God and thus unfaithful to Him. A |
| M:24.2 | however, that the way to salvation can be found by those who | believe in reincarnation and by those who do not. The idea cannot, |

| Tx:6.90 | with the Kingdom since it is the condition of the Kingdom. You have | believed that you are without the Kingdom and have therefore excluded |
| Tx:7.5 | I gave only love to the Kingdom because I | believed that was what I was. What you believe you are determines |
| Tx:7.11 | of this world, in which diametrically opposed outcomes are | believed in. The laws of mind govern thoughts, and you do respond to |
| Tx:7.61 | would never have been called upon by the Holy Spirit if you had not | believed the untrue. You cannot deny that, when you believe |
| Tx:7.89 | more you learn about the ego, the more you realize that it cannot be | believed. The incredible cannot be understood, because it is |
| Tx:7.101 | nothing. On the contrary, you will be gaining everything. If you | believed this, there would be no conflict. |
| Tx:8.22 | this choice, you will begin to learn and understand why you have | believed that when you met someone else, you had thought that he was |
| Tx:10.2 | Yet what would you say to someone who really | believed this question involves conflict? If you made the ego, how |
| Tx:10.82 | heard the answer, but you have misunderstood the question. You have | believed that to ask for guidance of the Holy Spirit is to ask for |
| Tx:11.21 | as the denial of truth, and what we can accomplish together must be | believed when you see it as accomplished. |
| Tx:11.37 | of its source, the ego is not wholly split off, or it could not be | believed at all. For it is your mind that believes in it and gives |
| Tx:11.43 | perceived yourself as weak. Because you had attacked yourself and | believed that the attack was effective, you behold yourself as |
| Tx:11.87 | of it. Adam's “sin” could have touched none of you, had you not | believed that it was the Father Who drove him out of paradise. For in |
| Tx:12.21 | allow this to happen. Yet you demanded that it happen and therefore | believed that it was so. |
| Tx:13.20 | be fearful, or you would not have displaced the guilt onto what you | believed to be less fearful. You are therefore willing with little |
| Tx:13.29 | reason to look within and see your holiness. You cannot be as you | believed you were. Your guilt is without reason, because it is not in |
| Tx:13.55 | are one to you. For if you value one thing made of nothing, you have | believed that nothing can be precious and that you can learn how to |
| Tx:13.60 | undone. We said before, “Be not content with nothing,” for you have | believed that nothing could content you. It is not so. |
| Tx:17.48 | faith, now that the rewards of faith are being introduced. If you | believed the Holy Spirit was there to accept the relationship, why |
| Tx:21.5 | this course is learned will bring to you the joy it promises. If you | believed it would, the learning of it would be no problem. You are |
| Tx:21.6 | joyous lessons, but through the stern necessity of limits they | believed they could not overcome. And still believing this, they hold |
| Tx:21.70 | is sin's condition—the one requirement that it demands to be | believed. Only the helpless could believe in it. Enormity has no |
| Tx:22.1 | time. Sin is a strictly individual perception, seen in the other yet | believed by each to be within himself. And each one seems to make a |
| Tx:22.2 | relationship forgives you both, undoing the effects of what you both | believed and saw. And with their going is the need for sin gone with |
| Tx:22.13 | reborn in safety and in peace. Such did his reason tell him; such he | believed because it was the truth. |
| Tx:22.22 | judge, offering him sanctuary or condemnation. This course will be | believed entirely or not at all. For it is wholly true or wholly |
| Tx:22.22 | For it is wholly true or wholly false and cannot be but partially | believed. And you will either escape from misery entirely or not at |
| Tx:23.32 | insanity to take the place of truth. It must be seen as truth to be | believed. And if it is the truth, then must its opposite, which was |
| Tx:23.33 | How could it not be so? Chaos is lawlessness and has no laws. To be | believed, its seeming laws must be perceived as real. Their goal of |
| Tx:23.34 | And yet, how can it be that laws like these can be | believed? There is a strange device that makes it possible. Nor is it |

| Tx:25.42 | the hatred that the Son of God may cherish toward himself is God | believed to be without the power to save what He created from the |
| Tx:26.25 | past the gate that opens into Heaven. No one forgives unless he has | believed in sin and still believes that he has much to be forgiven. |

| W1:110.1 | this one thought would be enough to save you and the world if you | believed that it is true. Its truth would mean that you have made no |
| W1:110.10 | how worthless are your idols and how false the images which you | believed were you. Today we make a great advance to truth by letting |

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

| Tx:8.69 | definitions of everything are childish and always based on what it | believes a thing is for. This is because it is incapable of true |
| Tx:8.69 | it teaches that you are to attack with, because this is what it | believes. The body, then, is not the source of its own health. The |
| Tx:8.85 | the mind. This is an attempt to destroy it, yet the ego actually | believes that it is protecting it. This is because the ego believes |
| Tx:8.85 | actually believes that it is protecting it. This is because the ego | believes that mind is dangerous and that to make mindless is to heal. |
| Tx:8.97 | can believe that its will is stronger than God's. If, then, a mind | believes that its will is different from His, it can only decide |

| Tx:8.97 | panic, because the atheist believes he is alone, and the martyr | believes that God is crucifying him. Both really fear abandonment and |
| Tx:9.15 | of the ego that you should be quite familiar with it by now. The ego | believes that all functions belong to it, even though it has no idea |
| Tx:9.20 | more likely to start with the equally incredible idea that he really | believes in attack and so does the patient, but it does not matter in |
| Tx:9.25 | share. He cannot correct because he is not working correctively. He | believes that it is up to him to teach the patient what is real, but |
| Tx:9.27 | of one whose direction has been changed for him and who no longer | believes in nightmares of any kind. The light in his mind will |
| Tx:9.48 | perfectly apparent. Though it does not understand this, the ego | believes that its “enemy” has struck and attempts to offer gifts to |
| Tx:9.51 | cannot be a real part of you because of the littleness in which it | believes. |
| Tx:9.77 | Do not side with sickness in the presence of a Son of God even if he | believes in it, for your acceptance of God in him acknowledges the |
| Tx:10.49 | have become afraid of yourself. And no one wills to learn what he | believes would destroy him. |
| Tx:10.51 | with Him and fulfilling your function as it exists in truth. The ego | believes that to accomplish its goal is happiness. But it is given |
| Tx:10.53 | approach of the ego to everything. Never forget that the ego | believes that power, understanding, and truth lie in separation, and |
| Tx:10.70 | world's only reality. They are still perceptions because he still | believes that he is separate. Yet they are eternal because they are |
| Tx:11.16 | in sickness but another call for love and offer your brother what he | believes he cannot offer himself. Whatever the sickness, there is but |
| Tx:11.25 | want to do. The very fact of his insistence should tell you that he | believes salvation lies in it. If you insist on refusing and |
| Tx:11.30 | your attempt to maintain your ego identification, for everyone | believes that identification is salvation. Yet consider what has |
| Tx:11.36 | teaching. It never puts it this way; on the contrary, everyone who | believes that the ego is salvation is intensely engaged in the search |
| Tx:11.37 | off, or it could not be believed at all. For it is your mind that | believes in it and gives existence to it. Yet it is also your mind |
| Tx:11.74 | to death. The death penalty is the ego's ultimate goal, for it fully | believes that you are a criminal, as deserving of death as God knows |
| Tx:11.92 | he fears and which he sees will never touch him, for although he | believes in it, the Holy Spirit knows it is not true. The Holy Spirit |
| Tx:11.96 | on one-dimensional time, proceeding from past to future. No one who | believes this can understand what always means. And therefore guilt |
| Tx:11.98 | is the ego's plan, which it offers instead of dispelling it. The ego | believes in atonement through attack, being fully committed to the |
| Tx:12.26 | might well begin. The ego invests heavily in the past and in the end | believes that the past is the only aspect of time that is meaningful. |
| Tx:12.35 | one hears their answer save him who called upon them, and he alone | believes they answered him. Projection makes perception, and you |
| Tx:13.27 | to make what will be now. As yet it is not now. The Son of God | believes that he is lost in guilt, alone in a dark world where pain |
| Tx:13.35 | no one sees himself in conflict and ravaged by a cruel war unless he | believes that both opponents in the war are real. Believing this, he |
| Tx:14.28 | is seen in the same place. Light cannot enter darkness when a mind | believes in darkness and will not let it go. Truth does not struggle |
| Tx:15.66 | the ego to enter into any relationship without anger, for the ego | believes that anger makes friends. This is not its statement, but it |
| Tx:15.66 | This is not its statement, but it is its purpose. For the ego really | believes that it can get and keep by making guilty. This is its one |
| Tx:15.67 | in it, to learn to let it go. No one would choose to let go what he | believes has value. Yet the attraction of guilt has value to you only |
| Tx:15.71 | thinks he wants. He is not in love with the other at all. He merely | believes he is in love with sacrifice. And for this sacrifice, which |
| Tx:15.71 | himself as well. Forgiveness becomes impossible, for the ego | believes that to forgive another is to lose him. For it is only by |
| Tx:16.72 | escape from the past, it sees itself deprived of the vengeance it | believes that you so justly merit. Yet without your alliance in your |
| Tx:17.61 | again, you see the opposite of the ego's way of looking, for the ego | believes the situation brings the experience. The Holy Spirit knows |
| Tx:17.62 | give. Yet this is so only from the viewpoint of the ego, for the ego | believes in “solving” conflict through fragmentation and does not |
| Tx:18.51 | is never what the body does that seems to satisfy. Unless the mind | believes the body is actually acting out its fantasies, it will |
| Tx:18.52 | attack, but it can deceive itself. And this is all it does when it | believes it has attacked the body. It can project its guilt, but it |
| Tx:18.57 | from himself except in illusions. This is not his reality, though he | believes it is. Yet this could only be if God were wrong. God would |
| Tx:19.49 | not be afraid. Fear is attracted to what love sees not, and each | believes that what the other looks upon does not exist. Fear looks on |
| Tx:19.110 | the journey was your choice. And no one undertakes to do what he | believes is meaningless. What you had faith in still is faithful and |
| Tx:20.22 | The world | believes in sin, but the belief that made it as you see it is not |
| Tx:21.23 | to welcome it or not. Faith and desire go hand in hand, for everyone | believes in what he wants. |
| Tx:21.31 | a power. For faith can keep the Son of God in chains as long as he | believes he is in chains. And when he is released from them, it will |
| Tx:21.31 | he is released from them, it will be simply because he no longer | believes in them, withdrawing faith that they can hold him and |
| Tx:21.38 | to use the body to carry out the means for sin in which the mind | believes. Thus is the joining of mind and body an inescapable belief |
| Tx:21.63 | if you think it does, you are insane. But madness has a purpose and | believes it also has the means to make its purpose real. To see the |
| Tx:21.71 | No one | believes the Son of God is powerless. And those who see themselves as |
| Tx:21.74 | a target. There can be no faith in sin without an enemy. Who that | believes in sin would dare believe he has no enemy? Could he admit |
| Tx:21.88 | ask for it. For no one fails to ask for his desire of something he | believes holds out some promise of the power of giving it. He may be |
| Tx:22.21 | You know what your Creator wills is possible, but what you made | believes it is not so. Now must you choose between yourself and an |
| Tx:22.51 | for freedom and tries to find it. Yet he will seek for it where he | believes it is and can be found. He will believe it possible of mind |
| Tx:24.41 | effect and cause are interchanged, for here the maker of the dream | believes that what he made is happening to him. He does not realize |
| Tx:25.24 | world where this reflection is, is real at all. Only because His Son | believes it is, and from His Son's belief He could not let Himself be |
| Tx:25.26 | God created it, but in some form adapted to the need the Son of God | believes he has. Corrected error is the error's end. And thus has God |
| Tx:25.52 | makes any sense at all within this world. And nothing that the world | believes as true has any meaning in His Mind at all. What makes no |
| Tx:25.53 | in anything it thinks, or is maintained by any form of reason | believes this to be true. Sin is not real because the Father and the |
| Tx:26.21 | Nothing the Son of God | believes can be destroyed. But what is truth to him must be brought |
| Tx:26.25 | into Heaven. No one forgives unless he has believed in sin and still | believes that he has much to be forgiven. Forgiveness thus becomes |
| Tx:27.14 | of the guilt they overlook. Yet no one can forgive a sin which he | believes is real. And what has consequences must be real because what |
| Tx:27.81 | and dreaming in the world remembers his attack upon himself. No one | believes there really was a time when he knew nothing of a body and |
| Tx:29.53 | to supply your lacks and add the value which you do not have. No one | believes in idols who has not enslaved himself to littleness and |
| Tx:29.59 | depending on the one of whom the question has been asked. The world | believes in idols. No one comes unless he worshiped them and still |
| Tx:31.44 | at times with pity on the suffering and sometimes offers solace. It | believes that it is good within an evil world. |
| Tx:31.56 | has always been the great preoccupation of the world. And everyone | believes that he must find the answer to the riddle of himself. |
| W1:127.5 | the world obeys can help you grasp love's meaning. What the world | believes was made to hide love's meaning and to keep it dark and |
| W1:130.1 | has not accorded value. And no one can fail to look upon what he | believes he wants. |
| W1:131.10 | what has no opposite. He thinks he made a hell opposing Heaven and | believes that he abides in what does not exist, while Heaven is the |
| W1:134.11 | not kept to swell and bluster and to terrify the foolish dreamer who | believes in them. He has been gently wakened from his dream by |
| W1:136.11 | made slave to laws which your defenses would impose on it. Yet who | believes illusions but the one who made them up? Who else can see |
| W1:139.6 | sad belief that what is universal here is true? Nothing the world | believes is true. It is a place whose purpose is to be a home where |
| W1:159.1 | Heaven and the world agree. But here they also separate. The world | believes that to possess a thing, it must be kept. Salvation teaches |
| W1:166.2 | the world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy, and true | believes in two creators or in one, himself alone. But never in one |
| W1:166.4 | Here is the only home he thinks he knows. Here is the only safety he | believes that he can find. Without the world he made is he an |
| W1:167.7 | opposite in anything created nor in what it seems to make when it | believes it sleeps. |
| W1:193.2 | God sees no contradictions. Yet His Son | believes he sees them. Thus he has a need for One Who can correct his |
| W1:200.6 | escape of God's beloved Son from evil dreams that he imagines, yet | believes are true, a worthy purpose? Who could hope for more while |
| W2:356.1 | not matter where he is, what seems to be his problem, nor what he | believes he has become. He is Your Son, and You will answer him. The |
| M:5.10 | of God consider the forms of sickness in which their brother | believes. To do this is to forget that all of them have the same |
| M:10.1 | says about them, and the teacher himself is inconsistent in what he | believes. |
| M:11.3 | but that is meaningless to those who believe in them. And everyone | believes in what he made, for it was made by his believing it. Into |

| M:17.5 | states in the clearest form possible that the mind which thinks it | believes it has a separate will that can oppose the Will of God and |

| Tx:1.90 | Until the “separation,” which is a | better term than the “fall,” nothing was lacking. This meant that man |
| Tx:1.90 | The body is the mechanism for behavior. The belief that he could be | better off is the reason why man has this mechanism at his disposal. |

| Tx:2.81 | willing and doing become discordant. This cannot be corrected by | better doing, but it can be corrected by higher willing. |
| Tx:3.61 | be no more. This is symbolic only in the sense that everyone is much | better off without judgment. When the Bible says, “Judge not that ye |
| Tx:4.19 | inherit the earth because their egos are humble, and this gives them | better perception. The Kingdom of Heaven is the right of the Soul, |
| Tx:4.25 | relative perception as is physical interaction. There could be no | better example of the fact that the ego is an idea, though not a |
| Tx:4.30 | give only because you believe that you are somehow getting something | better so that you can do without the thing you give. “Giving to get” |
| Tx:5.11 | Holy Inspiration is so close to knowledge that it calls it forth; or | better, allows it to come. We have spoken before of the higher or the |
| Tx:5.28 | the Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as one. What | better vocation could there be for any part of the Kingdom than to |
| Tx:5.55 | that he belongs to God as you do. How could you treat your brother | better than by rendering unto God the things which are God's? |
| Tx:5.65 | We said before that illness is a form of magic. It might be | better to say that it is a form of magical solution. The ego believes |
| Tx:5.83 | The idea of “set” is among the | better psychological concepts. Actually, it is used quite frequently |
| Tx:5.87 | although Freud misinterpreted what the Holy Spirit told him, or | better, reminded him of, he was too honest to deny more than was |
| Tx:5.90 | His? Do you really believe that you can plan for your safety and joy | better than He can? You need be neither careful nor careless; you |
| Tx:6.3 | quite evident that you had already developed the ability to follow a | better model if you could accept it. |
| Tx:6.28 | there is another use of projection. Every ability of the ego has a | better counterpart, because its abilities are directed by the mind |
| Tx:6.28 | because its abilities are directed by the mind which has a | better Voice. The Holy Spirit as well as the ego utilizes projection, |
| Tx:6.58 | How can you wake children | better and more kindly than by a gentle Voice that will not frighten |
| Tx:7.17 | to make the remembering consistent. You forget in order to remember | better. You will not understand His translations while you listen to |
| Tx:7.22 | ability which was applied to the learning. You could not have a | better example of the Holy Spirit's unified purpose than this course. |
| Tx:7.33 | and therefore does not exist, but those who sleep are stupefied, or | better, unaware. [And because] they are unaware, they do not know. |
| Tx:7.34 | ego. We said before that forgetting is merely a way of remembering | better. It is therefore not the opposite of remembering, when it is |
| Tx:7.49 | voices, so you can see in two ways. One way shows you an image, or | better, an idol which you may worship out of fear but which you will |
| Tx:7.73 | You cannot love this. Yet you can very easily escape from it or, | better, leave it behind. You are not there, and that is not you. Do |
| Tx:7.102 | to you. You believe that doing the opposite of God's Will can be | better for you. You also believe that it is possible to do the |
| Tx:9.66 | remember being awake. When you hear the Holy Spirit, you merely feel | better because loving seems possible to you, but you do not remember |
| Tx:10.17 | becomes a lesson in understanding, and the more you practice it, the | better teacher and learner you become. If you have denied truth, what |
| Tx:10.17 | teacher and learner you become. If you have denied truth, what | better witnesses to its reality could you have than those who have |
| Tx:11.13 | would look upon love, which is the world's reality, how could you do | better than to recognize in every defense against it the underlying |
| Tx:11.13 | defense against it the underlying appeal for it? And how could you | better learn of its reality than by answering the appeal for it by |
| Tx:14.49 | to classifying some of your thoughts as more important, larger or | better, wiser or more productive and valuable than others. And this |
| Tx:14.50 | examples to show you that your way of ordering is wrong, but that a | better way is offered you. |
| Tx:16.11 | or looking away from the whole to what you think you might be | better able to understand. For this is but another way in which you |
| Tx:16.11 | in which you would still try to keep understanding to yourself. A | better and far more helpful way to think of miracles is this: You do |
| Tx:16.17 | considering honestly what they have been? God wills you | better. Could you not look with greater charity on whom God loves |
| Tx:16.48 | and the basis for the attempt at union rests on exclusion. What | better example could there be of the ego's maxim, “Seek but do not |
| Tx:16.49 | much value can he place upon a self that he would give away to get a | better one? |
| Tx:17.39 | You who have tried so hard and are still trying to fit the | better picture into the wrong frame and so combine what cannot be |
| Tx:18.15 | are a way of looking at the world and changing it to suit the ego | better. They provide striking examples both of the ego's inability to |
| Tx:19.24 | Perhaps you would be tempted to agree with the ego that it is far | better to be sinful than mistaken. Yet think you carefully before you |
| Tx:19.57 | cannot keep us apart? Mine was no greater value than yours; no | better means for communication of salvation, but not its Source. No |
| Tx:19.83 | through your acceptance the power to release from corruption. What | better way to teach the first and fundamental principle in a course |
| Tx:20.46 | Nothing can show the contrast | better than the experience of both a holy and an unholy relationship. |
| Tx:20.70 | What can you value more than this? Why do you think the body is a | better home, a safer shelter for God's Son? Why would you rather look |
| Tx:20.76 | the world outside must thus reflect the sight you saw within; or | better, if you saw at all or merely judged against. Vision is the |
| Tx:21.24 | is how the ego deals with what it wants to make it so. There is no | better demonstration of the power of wanting, and therefore of faith, |
| Tx:24.9 | each other only partial welcome or would let you think that you are | better off apart. Is it not always your belief your specialness is |
| Tx:24.65 | show, as bait to catch another fish, to house your specialness in | better style or weave a frame of loveliness around your hate, and you |
| Tx:25.13 | in this respect is hardly worth delaying change that might result in | better outcome? For one thing is sure—the way you see, and long |
| Tx:25.36 | thoughts that entered it and were mistaken for a little while. How | better could your own mistakes be brought to truth than by your |
| Tx:25.44 | and the clarity it brings to what they look upon. Dimness seems | better—easier to see and better recognized. Somehow, the vague and |
| Tx:25.44 | to what they look upon. Dimness seems better—easier to see and | better recognized. Somehow, the vague and more obscure seems easier |

| Tx:28.7 | a senseless lesson in his mind when he can learn and can preserve a | better one? When ancient memories of hate appear, remember that their |
| Tx:28.15 | when memory of God has come to take the place of loss? What | better way to close the little gap between illusions and reality than |
| Tx:30.21 | right. But this much reason have you now attained—you would be | better off if you were wrong. |
| Tx:31.40 | you have no choice, and you can but decide how you would choose the | better to deceive yourself again. This course attempts to teach no |
| Tx:31.87 | again, so where you made a faulty choice before, you now can make a | better one and thus escape all pain which what you chose before has |
| W1:20.4 | stating that you are determined to change your present state for a | better one, and one you really want. |

| Tx:2.67 | the Spiritual eye cannot see error and is capable only of looking | beyond it to the defense of Atonement. There is no doubt that the |
| Tx:2.70 | reflection of a much more powerful love-encompassment which is far | beyond any form of charity that man can conceive of as yet. Charity |
| Tx:2.70 | Charity is a way of looking at another as if he had already gone far | beyond his actual accomplishments in time. Since his own thinking is |

| Tx:4.15 | to see it as it is. You are part of reality, which stands unchanged | beyond the reach of your ego but within easy reach of your Soul. When |
| Tx:4.15 | let your ego dispute this because the ego cannot know what is as far | beyond its reach as you are. |

| Tx:4.32 | The ego literally lives by comparisons. This means that equality is | beyond its grasp and charity becomes impossible. The ego never gives |
| Tx:4.45 | pointed out, what you have repressed can retain a very active life | beyond your awareness. |
| Tx:4.49 | no ego has experienced love without ambivalence, the concept is | beyond its understanding. |
| Tx:5.11 | Holy Spirit is the Christ Mind, which senses the knowledge that lies | beyond perception. It came into being with the separation as a |

| Tx:8.61 | the part of the mind you have separated from your Soul can reach | beyond its distortions and return to the Soul. The ego's temple thus |

| Tx:8.92 | means is that you are arbitrarily endowing something quite | beyond your awareness with something you do not want. It is evident, |
| Tx:8.105 | make yourself unreal. When you feel these things, do not try to look | beyond yourself for truth, for truth can only be within you. Say, |
| Tx:8.114 | this way, you are looking for the truth in you. This is not going | beyond yourself but toward yourself. Hear only God's Answer in His |

| Tx:9.61 | Can anything, then, exceed your will? Nothing can reach you from | beyond it because, being in God, you encompass everything. Believe |
| Tx:9.70 | for yours is the exchange of knowledge for perception. Nothing is | beyond His Will for you. But signify your will to remember Him and |
| Tx:9.89 | You will see nothing at all. And your vision will automatically look | beyond it to what is in you and all around you. Reality cannot break |
| Tx:9.93 | do this, but that you can think you can and believe you have is | beyond dispute. |
| Tx:10.6 | infinity, but how can this be if infinity has no end? No one can be | beyond the limitless because what has no limits must be everywhere. |

| Tx:12.22 | but will give up insanity.] For His answer is the reference point | beyond illusions from which you can look back on them and see them as |
| Tx:12.35 | they answered him. Projection makes perception, and you cannot see | beyond it. Again and again have men attacked each other because they |
| Tx:12.39 | You who know not what you do can learn what insanity is and look | beyond it. It is given you to learn how to deny insanity and come |
| Tx:12.42 | seeing that you might see in darkness, and in this you are deceived. | Beyond this darkness and yet still within you is the vision of |
| Tx:12.43 | He beholds Himself. And seeing what He is, He knows His Father. | Beyond your darkest dreams, He sees God's guiltless Son within you, |
| Tx:12.44 | And all this will they understand because they looked within and saw | beyond the darkness the Christ in them and recognized Him. In the |
| Tx:13.4 | under His loving gaze are partial glimpses of the Heaven that lies | beyond them. |
| Tx:13.7 | and who are seeking you and where to find them. Knowledge is far | beyond your individual concern. You, who are part of it and all of |
| Tx:13.10 | them. For never would He leave His own beloved Son outside them and | beyond Himself. |
| Tx:13.22 | main concern is to perceive the source of guilt outside themselves, | beyond their own control. |
| Tx:13.33 | only what God loves with me, and because of this, I treasure you | beyond the value that you set on yourselves, even unto the worth that |

| Tx:13.86 | the First in eternity is God the Father, Who is both First and One. | Beyond the First, there is no other, for there is no order, no second |
| Tx:14.11 | can be untouched by teaching such as this. You will not see yourself | beyond the power of God if you teach only this. You will not be |
| Tx:14.46 | in time but bring eternity nearer or farther. But eternity itself is | beyond all time. Reach out of time and touch it, with the help of its |
| Tx:14.58 | it must fail you. For power is not a seeming strength, and truth is | beyond semblance of any kind. Yet all that stands between you and the |
| Tx:15.3 | religion must therefore be the conviction that it can pursue you | beyond the grave. And out of its unwillingness for you to find peace |
| Tx:15.15 | in which God's Son could lose his purity. His changeless state is | beyond time, for his purity remains forever beyond attack and without |
| Tx:15.15 | His changeless state is beyond time, for his purity remains forever | beyond attack and without variability. Time stands still in his |

| Tx:15.29 | of magnitude to the host whom God appointed for Himself. It is | beyond all your littleness to give the gift of God, but not beyond |
| Tx:15.29 | It is beyond all your littleness to give the gift of God, but not | beyond you. For God would give Himself through you. He reaches from |

| Tx:15.35 | This course is not | beyond immediate learning unless you prefer to believe that what God |
| Tx:15.35 | be is lost to you. You must decide on when it is. Delay it not. For | beyond the past and future, in which you will not find it, it stands |
| Tx:15.55 | Think you that you can judge the Self of God? God has created it | beyond judgment out of His need to extend His Love. With love in you, |
| Tx:15.65 | Beyond the poor attraction of the special love relationship and | |
| Tx:15.79 | leave you as your Teacher until the holy instant has extended far | beyond time. For a teaching assignment such as His, He must use |
| Tx:15.81 | more than a mistake in who you are. For the holy host of God is | beyond failure, and nothing that he wills can be denied. You are |
| Tx:15.82 | are with the universe. And this universe, being of God, is far | beyond the petty sum of all the separate bodies you perceive. For all |
| Tx:16.10 | do not understand. Nor do you do them. It is their extension, far | beyond the limits you perceive, that demonstrates you did not do |
| Tx:16.21 | knew, you will be compelled to recognize that your Teacher came from | beyond your thought system and so could look upon it fairly and |
| Tx:16.26 | You are not two selves in conflict. What is | beyond God? If you who hold Him and whom He holds are the universe, |
| Tx:16.26 | is. You have taught this, and from far off in the universe, yet not | beyond yourself, the witnesses to your teaching have gathered to help |
| Tx:16.39 | which seems so dark and heavy, it is only needful to value truth | beyond all fantasy and to be entirely unwilling to settle for |

| Tx:17.41 | clear cut and unmistakable contrast, is transformed into what lies | beyond the picture. As you look on this, you realize that it is not a |

| Tx:17.62 | No one will fail in anything. This seems to ask for faith | beyond you and beyond what you can give. Yet this is so only from the |

| Tx:17.70 | so great it reaches past the stars and to the universe that lies | beyond them, your little faithlessness can make it useless if you |
| Tx:17.79 | Give as you have received. And demonstrate that you have risen far | beyond any situation that could hold you back and keep you separate |
| Tx:18.58 | and reach to Heaven. You whose hands are joined have begun to reach | beyond the body, but not outside yourselves, to reach your shared |

| Tx:18.92 | light whereon they cast no shadows. Their shadows lie upon the world | beyond them, still further from the light. Yet from them to the light |
| Tx:18.94 | here does nothing interfere with love, letting it be itself. A step | beyond this holy place [of forgiveness], a step still further inward |
| Tx:18.95 | This course will lead to knowledge, but knowledge itself is still | beyond the scope of our curriculum. Nor is there any need for us to |
| Tx:18.95 | is there any need for us to try to speak of what must forever lie | beyond words. We need remember only that whoever attains the real |
| Tx:18.95 | words. We need remember only that whoever attains the real world, | beyond which learning cannot go, will go beyond it but in a different |
| Tx:18.95 | attains the real world, beyond which learning cannot go, will go | beyond it but in a different way. Where learning ends there God |
| Tx:18.97 | in which you were united is but the messenger of love, sent from | beyond forgiveness to remind you of all that lies beyond it. Yet it |
| Tx:18.97 | of love, sent from beyond forgiveness to remind you of all that lies | beyond it. Yet it is through forgiveness that it will be remembered. |
| Tx:19.9 | by withholding faith, you see what is unworthy of it and cannot look | beyond the barrier to what is joined with you. |
| Tx:19.13 | a body, but to a mind. And the mind that receives it looks instantly | beyond the body and sees the holy place where it was healed. There is |
| Tx:19.30 | This One can teach you how to look on time differently and see | beyond it, but not while you believe in sin. In error, yes; for this |
| Tx:19.33 | If sin were real, it would forever be | beyond the hope of healing. For there would be a power beyond God's, |
| Tx:19.33 | forever be beyond the hope of healing. For there would be a power | beyond God's, capable of making another will which could attack His |
| Tx:19.58 | for it. Communion is another kind of completion which goes | beyond guilt because it goes beyond the body. |
| Tx:19.58 | another kind of completion which goes beyond guilt because it goes | beyond the body. |
| Tx:19.61 | idea that love is fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far | beyond the body, calling the mind to join in holy communion and be at |
| Tx:19.90 | and of the universe of universes and of everything that lies even | beyond them would you remember. And as this memory rises in your |
| Tx:19.91 | like a heavy veil before the face of Christ. Yet as His face rises | beyond it, shining with joy because He is in His Father's Love, peace |
| Tx:19.91 | with glory appear as streams of blood, fades in the blazing light | beyond it when the fear of death is gone. |
| Tx:19.92 | This is the secret bargain made with the ego to keep what lies | beyond the veil forever blotted out and unremembered. Here is your |
| Tx:19.94 | is lost forever as love's attraction stirs and calls to you. From | beyond each of the obstacles to love, Love Itself has called, and |
| Tx:19.94 | each has been surmounted by the power of the attraction of what lies | beyond. Your wanting fear seemed to be holding them in place. Yet |
| Tx:19.94 | to be holding them in place. Yet when you heard the voice of love | beyond them, you answered and they disappeared. |
| Tx:19.96 | and you will nevermore believe that you are at the mercy of things | beyond you, forces you cannot control, and thoughts that come to you |
| Tx:19.96 | death can stand against your will. For what attracts you from | beyond the veil is also deep within you, unseparated from it and |
| Tx:19.97 | It does not open up its secrets and bid you look on them and go | beyond them. It would not have you see its weakness and learn it has |
| Tx:19.108 | Together we will disappear into the Presence | beyond the veil, not to be lost, but found; not to be seen, but |
| Tx:19.110 | over you in faith so gentle yet so strong that it would lift you far | beyond the veil and place the Son of God safely within the sure |
| Tx:19.110 | the long journey through this world whatever meaning lies in them. | Beyond this they are meaningless. You stand together, still without |
| Tx:20.3 | of crucifixion and delay him there. Help him to go in peace | beyond it, with the light of his own innocence lighting his way to |
| Tx:20.11 | and crown him king of death. Your chosen home is on the other side, | beyond the veil. It has been carefully prepared for you, and it is |
| Tx:20.13 | the new vision that looks upon the lilies and brings you joy. We go | beyond the veil of fear, lighting each other's way. The holiness that |
| Tx:20.14 | and his strong arm is free to guide you safely through them and | beyond. Walk with him now rejoicing, for the savior from illusions |
| Tx:20.38 | sings of the end of sin and fear. Each speaks in time of what is far | beyond it. Two voices raised together call to the hearts of everyone |
| Tx:20.39 | that rises from the meaningless attempt to judge what lies so far | beyond your judgment you cannot even see it? Judge not what is |
| Tx:20.57 | Yet what is that to those who have been given one true relationship | beyond the body? Can they be long held back from looking on the face |
| Tx:21.10 | Beyond the body, beyond the sun and stars, past everything you see | |
| Tx:21.10 | Beyond the body, | beyond the sun and stars, past everything you see and yet somehow |
| Tx:21.22 | is to make room for truth. You are not asked to make or do what lies | beyond your understanding. All you are asked to do is let it in; only |
| Tx:21.36 | their brothers in holiness, the power of belief and faith goes far | beyond the body, supporting vision, not obstructing it. But first |
| Tx:21.40 | past it, as do you. The faith and the belief you gave it belongs | beyond. You gave perception and belief and faith from mind to body. |
| Tx:21.50 | unreality. You will believe that you are helpless prey to forces far | beyond your own control and far more powerful than you. And you will |
| Tx:21.55 | and redirected from the goal of sin as are the others. For reason is | beyond the ego's range of means. |
| Tx:21.57 | have gained a means which cannot be applied to sin. Knowledge is far | beyond attainment of any kind. But reason can serve to open doors you |
| Tx:21.58 | And in this change is room made way for vision. Vision extends | beyond itself, as does the purpose which it serves and all the means |
| Tx:22.4 | It must extend, as you extended when you joined. It must reach out | beyond itself, as you reached out beyond the body to let yourselves |
| Tx:22.4 | when you joined. It must reach out beyond itself, as you reached out | beyond the body to let yourselves be joined. And now the sameness |

| Tx:22.28 | who is but willing to see his brother sinless. And no one can remain | beyond this willingness if you would be released entirely from all |
| Tx:22.33 | prevent correction. The body's eyes see only form. They cannot see | beyond what they were made to see. And they were made to look on |
| Tx:22.33 | strange perception, for they can see only illusions, unable to look | beyond the granite block of sin and stopping at the outside form of |
| Tx:22.34 | for seeing. See how the body's eyes rest on externals and cannot go | beyond. Watch how they stop at nothingness, unable to go beyond the |
| Tx:22.34 | cannot go beyond. Watch how they stop at nothingness, unable to go | beyond the form to meaning. Nothing so blinding as perception of |

| Tx:22.36 | except what you associate with his body, which you believe can sin? | Beyond his errors is his holiness and your salvation. You gave him |
| Tx:22.41 | the Christ in you but will rejoice. How beautiful the sight you saw | beyond the veil which you will bring to light the tired eyes of those |
| Tx:22.49 | be long defended from what is quietly passed through and gone | beyond? |
| Tx:23.4 | distractions, lay Heaven aside? Your destiny and purpose are far | beyond them in the clean place where littleness does not exist. Your |

| Tx:23.13 | Being fragmented, they fragment. But truth is indivisible and far | beyond their little reach. You will remember what you know when you |
| Tx:23.18 | obscured in minds that have become illusion's battleground. Yet far | beyond this senseless war it shines, ready to be remembered when you |
| Tx:23.19 | and to truth. Let us, then, look upon them calmly, that we may look | beyond them, understanding what they are, not what they would |
| Tx:23.19 | govern nothing and need not be broken; merely looked upon and gone | beyond. |
| Tx:23.22 | For the destruction of the one who makes the error places him | beyond correction and beyond forgiveness. What he has done is thus |
| Tx:23.22 | of the one who makes the error places him beyond correction and | beyond forgiveness. What he has done is thus interpreted as an |
| Tx:23.25 | and justified in its attack. And now is conflict made inevitable and | beyond the help of God. And now salvation must remain impossible |
| Tx:23.37 | only the conflict of illusions stands; senseless, impossible, and | beyond all reason, and yet perceived as an eternal barrier to Heaven. |
| Tx:24.39 | dream in which God is bereft of what He loves and you remain | beyond salvation. Only this is certain in this shifting world which |
| Tx:24.52 | not escape its laws of violence and death. Yet it is given you to be | beyond its laws in all respects, in every way, and every |
| Tx:24.59 | self-maintained, in need of nothing, and unjoined with anything | beyond the body. In its eyes, you are a separate universe with all |
| Tx:24.71 | body made a theory of yourself with no provisions made for evidence | beyond itself and no escape within its sight. Its course is sure when |
| Tx:25.10 | to the truth, taking all false ideas of what you are and leading you | beyond them to the truth that is beyond them. All this can very |
| Tx:25.10 | of what you are and leading you beyond them to the truth that is | beyond them. All this can very simply be reduced to this: |
| Tx:25.27 | remains an instant to obscure the sinlessness that shines unchanged | beyond the pitiful attempts of specialness to put it out of mind |
| Tx:25.30 | change made possible. The Holy Spirit too sees what He sees as far | beyond the chance of change. But on His vision sin cannot encroach, |
| Tx:25.32 | which the aim is seen that makes the choice of means inevitable and | beyond the hope of change unless the aim is changed. And then the |
| Tx:25.36 | nothing after it. No other place, no other state nor time. Nothing | beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any form. This can you bring to |
| Tx:25.36 | your willingness to bring the light of Heaven with you as you walk | beyond the world of darkness into light? |
| Tx:25.55 | insane within the sight of love, whose gentle eyes would look | beyond the madness and rest peacefully on truth. Each sees a world |
| Tx:26.1 | Look at the world, and you will see nothing attached to anything | beyond itself. All seeming entities can come a little nearer or go a |
| Tx:26.8 | same forever—born again each instant, untouched by time, and far | beyond the reach of any sacrifice of life or death. For neither did |
| 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 |
| Tx:26.17 | sinless and beyond attack. Your special function opens wide the door | beyond which is the memory of His love kept perfectly intact and |
| Tx:26.19 | Yet is this magnitude | beyond the scope of this curriculum. Nor is it necessary we dwell on |
| Tx:26.19 | truth where they are judged to be untrue. This borderland is just | beyond the gate of Heaven. Here is every thought made pure and wholly |
| Tx:26.22 | difference is the learning goal this course has set. It will not go | beyond this aim. Its only purpose is to teach what is the same and |
| Tx:26.25 | world of sin into a simple world where justice can be reflected from | beyond the gate behind which total lack of limits lies. Nothing in |
| Tx:26.27 | for Heaven's altar to rise and tower far above the world and reach | beyond the universe to touch the heart of all creation? What is |
| Tx:26.52 | Sin is not error, for it goes | beyond correction to impossibility. Yet the belief that it is real |
| Tx:26.54 | because it still conceives of other choices and has not yet reached | beyond the world of choice entirely. |
| Tx:26.59 | why. Effects are seen as separate from their source and seem to be | beyond you to control or to prevent. What is thus kept apart can |
| Tx:26.68 | one illusion which takes different forms. If it has been projected | beyond your minds, you think of it as time. The nearer it is brought |
| Tx:27.3 | to hell. Yet this is writ in hell and not in Heaven, where you are | beyond attack and prove his innocence. The picture of yourself you |
| Tx:27.4 | The power of witness is | beyond belief because it brings conviction in its wake. The witness |
| Tx:27.4 | conviction in its wake. The witness is believed because he points | beyond himself to what he represents. A sick and suffering you but |
| Tx:27.5 | It witnesses to the eternal truth that you cannot be hurt and points | beyond itself to both your innocence and his. |
| Tx:27.6 | he will look on his forgiveness there and with healed eyes will look | beyond it to the innocence that he beholds in you. Here is the proof |
| Tx:27.16 | justified unless his sins have no effect to warrant guilt? Sins are | beyond forgiveness just because they would entail effects which |
| Tx:27.18 | before the ancient clarion call of life. This call has power far | beyond the weak and miserable cry of death and guilt. The ancient |
| Tx:27.32 | is what creation is. For this there are no symbols. Nothing points | beyond the truth, for what can stand for more than everything? Yet |
| Tx:27.33 | and learning done. No learning aid has use which can extend | beyond the goal of learning. When its aim has been accomplished, it |
| Tx:27.35 | nothing. Yet no other kind can be at all. Give welcome to the Power | beyond forgiveness and beyond the world of symbols and of |
| Tx:27.35 | kind can be at all. Give welcome to the Power beyond forgiveness and | beyond the world of symbols and of limitations. He would merely be, |
| Tx:27.48 | instant's radiance will light your eyes and give them sight to see | beyond all suffering and see Christ's face instead. Healing replaces |
| Tx:27.52 | first among them will be seen, but thousands stand behind him, and | beyond each one there are a thousand more. Each one may seem to have |
| Tx:27.64 | world were hurting you. And so it seems as if there is no need to go | beyond the obvious in terms of cause. |
| Tx:27.66 | which then bear witness to the cause and not themselves. Look, then, | beyond effects. It is not here the cause of suffering and sin must |
| Tx:28.14 | a different past or future. Its effects are changelessly eternal, | beyond fear, and past the world of sin entirely. |
| Tx:28.15 | flow across it, making it a bridge an instant will suffice to reach | beyond? For God has closed it with Himself. His memory has not gone |
| Tx:28.28 | What waits in perfect certainty | beyond salvation is not our concern. For you have barely started to |
| Tx:29.20 | Condemn your savior not because he thinks he is a body. For | beyond his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a savior |
| Tx:29.35 | If you but knew the glorious goal that lies | beyond forgiveness, you would not keep hold on any thought, however |
| Tx:29.37 | aside from dreaming of a world outside yourself. And leading finally | beyond all dreams unto the peace of everlasting life. |
| Tx:29.45 | illusion will impel him to seek out a thousand idols and to seek | beyond them for a thousand more. And each will fail him, all |
| Tx:29.53 | has not enslaved himself to littleness and loss. And thus must seek | beyond his little self for strength to raise his head and stand apart |
| Tx:29.57 | —the strange idea there is a power past omnipotence, a place | beyond the infinite, a time transcending the eternal. Here the world |
| Tx:29.58 | separated off from what is endless, has no place to be. An idol is | beyond where God has set all things forever and has left no room for |
| Tx:30.40 | you like. This is the purpose of an idol—that you will not look | beyond it to the source of the belief that you are incomplete. Only |
| Tx:30.40 | thus it would be necessary for the search for wholeness to be made | beyond the boundaries of limits on yourself. |
| Tx:30.42 | is the function of God's Son. He has no need to seek for it at all. | Beyond all idols stands his holy will to be but what he is. For more |
| Tx:30.45 | The Thoughts of God are far | beyond all change and shine forever. They await not birth. They wait |
| Tx:30.47 | Beyond all idols is the Thought God holds of you. Completely | |
| Tx:30.49 | you attack them for the things you think they represent. What lies | beyond them cannot be attacked. |
| Tx:30.54 | And you can make a simple choice that will forever place you far | beyond deception. You need not concern yourself with how this will be |
| Tx:30.59 | of forgiveness still remains. Yet everyone is certain he will go | beyond forgiveness, and he but remains until it is made perfect in |
| Tx:30.63 | is remembered. For He must be unremembered till His Son has reached | beyond forgiveness to the love of God. Yet is the love of Christ |
| Tx:30.74 | were, it would be necessary first there be some sin which stands | beyond forgiveness. There would be an error that is more than a |
| Tx:30.74 | —a special form of error which remains unchangeable, eternal, and | beyond correction or escape. There would be one mistake which had the |
| Tx:30.89 | is changeless. It does not deceive at all, and if you fail to see | beyond appearances, you are deceived. For everything you see will |
| Tx:30.90 | by showing they can change. Your brother has a changelessness in him | beyond appearance and deception both. It is obscured by changing |
| Tx:30.92 | at all. The cost of the belief there must be some appearances | beyond the hope of change is that the miracle cannot come forth from |
| Tx:31.6 | will you learn? What outcome is inevitable, sure as God, and far | beyond all doubt and question? Can it be your little learning, |
| Tx:31.10 | love restore the dying world! You do not understand Who calls to you | beyond each form of hate, each call to war. Yet you will recognize |
| Tx:31.11 | for this within yourself. But listen, rather, to the deeper call | beyond it that appeals for peace and joy. And all the world will give |
| Tx:31.35 | have learned their greatest lesson. All must reach this point and go | beyond it. It is true indeed there is no choice at all within the |
| Tx:31.36 | your learning now, and understand you but waste time unless you go | beyond what you have learned to what is yet to learn. For from this |
| Tx:31.50 | you will choose to follow this world's laws and never seek to go | beyond its roads nor realize the way you see yourself. Now must the |
| Tx:31.70 | will be your concept of yourself, when you have reached the world | beyond the sight your eyes alone can offer you to see. For you will |
| Tx:31.74 | from everything you see. At most, you glimpse a shadow of what lies | beyond. At least, you merely look on darkness and perceive the |
| Tx:31.80 | face of Christ to shine upon the one who asks in innocence to see | beyond the veil of old ideas and ancient concepts held so long and |
| Tx:31.96 | and who looks with fixed determination toward the light that shines | beyond in perfect constancy. Give me my own, for they belong to You. |
| W1:4.2 | The “good” ones of which you are aware are but shadows of what lies | beyond, and shadows make sight difficult. The “bad” ones are blocks |
| W1:14.3 | you directly into fear. You will not be left there. You will go far | beyond it. Our direction is toward perfect safety and perfect peace. |

| W1:66.4 | it appears to be different. Today's exercises are an attempt to go | beyond these differences in appearance, and recognize a common |
| W1:70.12 | for it. It is not there. It is past the clouds and in the light | beyond. Remember that you will have to go through the clouds before |
| W1:73.6 | it is not so. You cannot want this for yourself. There is a point | beyond which illusions cannot go. |
| W1:78.1 | as you raise it up before your eyes, you will not see the miracle | beyond. Yet all the while it waits for you in light, but you behold |

| W1:R2.3 | all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you through and carry you | beyond them all. |
| W1:85.5 | found outside and then brought in. But from within me it will reach | beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light that shines |
| W1:89.2 | of the grievances, which are but illusions that hide the miracles | beyond. Now I would accept only what the laws of God entitle me to |
| W1:89.7 | my salvation. Let our grievances be replaced by miracles, [name]. | Beyond this is the miracle by which all my grievances are replaced. |

| W1:98.8 | you will bring the light to all the words you say, and you will go | beyond their sound to what they really mean. Today you practice with |
| W1:107.6 | and love which does not falter in the face of pain but looks | beyond it, steadily and sure. Here is the gift of healing, for the |

| W1:122.5 | before you, like an open door with warmth and welcome calling from | beyond the doorway, bidding you to enter in and make yourself at home |
| W1:122.6 | that this is so, for here we have an answer, clear and plain, | beyond deceit in its simplicity. All the complexities the world has |

| W1:128.5 | lift the chains which bar the door to freedom from the world and go | beyond all little values and diminished goals. |
| W1:129.8 | Beyond this world there is a world I want. I choose to see that world | |
| W1:129.10 | lights of Heaven bend to you, to shine upon your eyelids as you rest | beyond the world of darkness. Here is light your eyes cannot behold. |
| W1:129.12 | The world I see has nothing that I want. | Beyond this world there is a world I want. |
| W1:130.5 | the other disappears. But one remains. They are the range of choice | beyond which your decision cannot go. The real and the unreal are all |
| W1:130.7 | minutes to the thought which ends all compromise and doubt and go | beyond them all as one. We will not make a thousand meaningless |
| W1:130.8 | Begin your searching for the other world by asking for a strength | beyond your own, and recognize what it is you seek. You do not want |
| W1:131.4 | to do so. Otherwise, you still are free to choose a goal that lies | beyond the world and every worldly thought and one which comes to you |
| W1:131.9 | He is here because He wills to be, and what He wills is present now | beyond the reach of time. |
| W1:131.14 | in your mind which you could not completely lock to hide what lies | beyond. |
| W1:131.16 | and see how easily the door swings open with your one intent to go | beyond it. Angels light the way, so that all darkness vanishes and |
| W1:131.17 | and all the seeking of the world, which ends together as you pass | beyond the door. |
| W1:134.10 | and the truth, between the world you see and that which lies | beyond, between the hell of guilt and Heaven's gate. |
| W1:135.7 | the body all the functions that you see in it and set its value far | beyond a little pile of dust and water. Who would make defense of |
| W1:135.8 | not abuse it by assigning it to roles it cannot fill, to purposes | beyond its scope, and to exalted aims which it cannot accomplish. |
| W1:136.4 | made it, so it seems to be external to your own intent—a happening | beyond your state of mind, an outcome with a real effect on you |
| W1:136.5 | you play in making your “reality” which makes defenses seem to be | beyond your own control. But what you have forgot can be remembered, |
| W1:136.9 | and the strange, haunting thought that you might be something | beyond this little pile of dust silenced and stilled. For see, this |
| W1:136.15 | Truth has a power far | beyond defense, for no illusions can remain where it has been allowed |
| W1:138.5 | lies, and as it is accepted, it is known. But knowledge is | beyond the goals we seek to teach within the framework of this |
| W1:139.7 | is set forever in the holy Mind of God and in your own. It is so far | beyond all doubt and question that to ask what it must be is all the |
| W1:140.9 | We will not be misled today by what appears to us as sick. We go | beyond appearances today and reach the source of healing from which |
| W1:145.1 | [129] | Beyond this world there is a world I want. |
| W1:151.10 | disaster, suffering, and loss. He gives you vision which can look | beyond these grim appearances and can behold the gentle face of |
| W1:151.11 | of reference, wholly unified and sure. And you will see the love | beyond the hate, the constancy in change, the pure in sin, and only |
| W1:151.12 | for your life is not a part of anything you see. It stands | beyond the body and the world, past every witness for unholiness, |
| W1:153.4 | in a form so grim that hope of sanity seems but to be an idle dream, | beyond the possible. The sense of threat the world encourages is so |
| W1:153.4 | sense of threat the world encourages is so much deeper and so far | beyond the frenzy and intensity of which you can conceive that you |
| W1:154.1 | Let us today be neither arrogant nor falsely humble. We have gone | beyond such foolishness. We cannot judge ourselves, nor need we do |
| W1:154.12 | a thousand more but will not know that God Himself has left no gift | beyond what you already have nor has denied the tiniest of blessings |
| W1:155.3 | need a teacher who perceives their madness, but who still can look | beyond illusion to the simple truth in them. |
| W1:157.2 | it can possibly attain. It leaves us there an instant and we go | beyond it, sure of our direction and our only goal. |
| W1:158.6 | Experience, unlearned, untaught, unseen, is merely there. This is | beyond our goal, for it transcends what needs to be accomplished. Our |
| W1:158.7 | body and mistake it for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light | beyond the body, an idea beyond what can be touched, a purity |
| W1:158.7 | Son whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the body, an idea | beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by errors, pitiful |
| W1:158.9 | they merely disappear because a vision of the holiness which lies | beyond them comes to take their place. It matters not what form they |
| W1:159.3 | Christ's vision is a miracle. It comes from far | beyond itself, for it reflects eternal love and the rebirth of love |
| W1:159.5 | at times forgot, and never able to obscure the light that shines | beyond them. Holiness has been restored to vision, and the blind can |
| W1:161.6 | easily become fear's symbols. You have many times been urged to look | beyond the body, for its sight presents the symbol of love's “enemy” |
| W1:162.4 | simply. For the words we use are mighty, and they need no thoughts | beyond themselves to change the mind of him who uses them. So wholly |
| W1:163.8 | take today. And it is given us to look past death and see the life | beyond. |
| W1:164.1 | the senseless busy world engenders, yet He hears them faintly, for | beyond them all He hears the song of Heaven and the Voice of God more |
| W1:164.2 | easily away before His sight. Its sounds grow dim. A melody from far | beyond the world increasingly is more and more distinct—an ancient |
| W1:164.3 | the call He hears. How quiet is the time you give to spend with Him | beyond the world. How easily are all your seeming sins forgot and all |
| W1:164.5 | the day when vain imaginings part like a curtain to reveal what lies | beyond them. Now is what is really there made visible, while all the |
| W1:164.6 | this day is sacred to the world. Your vision, given you from far | beyond all things within the world, looks back on them in a new |
| W1:164.7 | judge today. We will receive but what is given us from judgment made | beyond the world. Our practicing today becomes our gift of |
| W1:165.1 | this world seem real except your own denial of the truth which lies | beyond? What but your thoughts of misery and death obscure the |
| W1:165.7 | in His Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness lies | beyond our every doubt. His love remains beyond our every fear. The |
| W1:165.7 | we do. His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His love remains | beyond our every fear. The thought of Him is still beyond all dreams |
| W1:165.7 | His love remains beyond our every fear. The thought of Him is still | beyond all dreams and in our minds according to His Will. |
| W1:167.5 | can extend all that their source contains. In that they can go far | beyond themselves. But they cannot give birth to what was never given |
| W1:169.1 | of truth. It is the world's most lofty aspiration, for it leads | beyond the world entirely. It is past learning yet the goal of |
| W1:169.3 | Grace is not learned. The final step must go | beyond all learning. Grace is not the goal this course aspires to |
| W1:169.6 | present, where the past and future cannot be conceived. It lies | beyond salvation—past all thought of time, forgiveness, and the |
| W1:169.7 | This is | beyond experience we try to hasten. Yet forgiveness, taught and |
| W1:169.9 | Now we have work to do, for those in time can speak of things | beyond and listen to words which explain what is to come is past |
| W1:169.13 | it offers everyone. We do not ask for the unaskable. We do not look | beyond what grace can give. For this we can give in the grace that |
| W1:170.10 | with the appearance of a solid block, impenetrable, fearful and | beyond surmounting, is the fear of God Himself. Here is the basic |
| W1:170.11 | the fire comes from Him. And He is terrible above all else, cruel | beyond conception, striking down all who acknowledge Him to be their |
| W1:R5.15 | here conviction lies. We use the words, and try and try again to go | beyond them to their meaning, which is far beyond their sound. The |
| W1:R5.15 | try and try again to go beyond them to their meaning, which is far | beyond their sound. The sound grows dim and disappears as we approach |
| W1:I2.3 | And so we start our journey | beyond words by concentrating first on what impedes our progress |
| W1:I2.3 | first on what impedes our progress still. Experience of what exists | beyond defensiveness remains beyond achievement while it is denied. |
| W1:I2.3 | still. Experience of what exists beyond defensiveness remains | beyond achievement while it is denied. It may be there, but you |
| W1:181.1 | he is limited by what you have perceived in him. You do not look | beyond his errors. Rather, they are magnified, becoming blocks to |
| W1:181.1 | magnified, becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self that lies | beyond your own mistakes and past his seeming sins as well as yours. |
| W1:181.2 | you will not transcend their sight and see the sinlessness that lies | beyond. |
| W1:181.9 | For what we seek to look upon is really there. And as our focus goes | beyond mistakes, we will behold a wholly sinless world. When seeing |
| W1:182.8 | you will stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace, | beyond all words, untouched by fear and doubt, sublimely certain that |
| W1:184.8 | the world. Illusions, yes! But what is true in earth and Heaven is | beyond your naming. When you call upon a brother, it is to his body |
| W1:184.9 | It would indeed be strange if you were asked to go | beyond all symbols of the world, forgetting them forever; yet were |
| W1:184.14 | disappear which kept us blind. And we are given strength to see | beyond them. Now our sight is blessed with blessings we can give as |
| W1:185.5 | He has looked on them and found them wanting. Now he seeks to go | beyond them, recognizing that another dream would offer nothing more |
| W1:185.14 | the need of every heart, the call of every mind, the hope that lies | beyond despair, the love attack would hide, the brotherhood that hate |
| W1:186.5 | sure that it is so. The arrogant must cling to words, afraid to go | beyond them to experience which might affront their stance. Yet are |
| W1:186.6 | you that you have the strength, the wisdom, and the holiness to go | beyond all images. You are not weak, as is the image of yourself. You |
| W1:188.4 | the memory to you as well. From you salvation radiates with gifts | beyond all measure, given and returned. To you, the giver of the |
| W1:190.5 | to your mind can hurt or injure you in any way. There is no cause | beyond yourself that can reach down and bring oppression. No one but |
| W1:192.1 | in the world in its own terms. For who can understand a language far | beyond his simple grasp? |
| W1:196.12 | that does not go with you to help you reach that instant and to go | beyond it quickly, surely, and forever. When the fear of God is gone, |
| W1:199.2 | mind that serves the Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways, | beyond the laws of time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and |
| W1:200.8 | leading from this fresh perception to the gate of Heaven and the way | beyond. Peace is the answer to conflicting goals, to senseless |
| W1:R6.5 | in between we have a function that transcends the world we see. | Beyond this and a repetition of the special thought we practice for |
| W1:R6.6 | We will attempt to get | beyond all words and special forms of practicing for this review. For |
| W1:R6.10 | the idea for the day, and let it take the place of what you thought. | Beyond such special applications of each day's idea, we will add but |
| W2:I.6 | of thanks from us, as through Christ's vision we behold a world | beyond the one we made and take that world to be the full replacement |
| W2:230.2 | be here now, for my creation was apart from time and still remains | beyond all change. The peace in which Your Son was born into Your |
| W2:243.1 | myself today. I will not think that I already know what must remain | beyond my present grasp. I will not think I understand the whole from |
| W2:252.1 | My Self is holy | beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive. Its |
| W2:252.1 | move the world but from the boundless Love of God Himself. How far | beyond this world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close |

| Tx:8.114 | if you learn to ask truth of them. Do not ask for blessings without | blessing them, for only in this way can you learn how blessed you |
| Tx:9.52 | you can only bless, because your grandeur is your abundance. By | blessing, you hold it in your mind, protecting it from illusions and |

| Tx:24.45 | knows where you are going, and He leads you there in gentleness and | blessing all the way. His love for God replaces all the fear you |
| Tx:24.49 | the world is still and peace descends on it in gentleness and | blessing so complete that not one trace of conflict still remains to |
| Tx:24.56 | sacrament and benediction unto you. His errors cannot withhold God's | blessing from himself nor you who see him truly. His mistakes can |

| Tx:26.16 | an affliction without a cure has been transformed into a universal | blessing. Sacrifice is gone. And in its place the love of God can be |
| Tx:26.66 | peace in which your wishes are fulfilled. Let us unite in bringing | blessing to the world of sin and death. For what can save each one of |
| Tx:26.66 | get from one is to deprive them all. And yet to bless but one gives | blessing to them all as one. |
| Tx:27.47 | What stands apart from you when you accept the | blessing that the holy instant brings? Be not afraid of blessing, for |
| Tx:27.47 | accept the blessing that the holy instant brings? Be not afraid of | blessing, for the One Who blesses you loves all the world and leaves |
| Tx:27.47 | within the world that could be feared. But if you shrink from | blessing will the world indeed seem fearful, for you have withheld |
| Tx:27.48 | on your returning to the world. And being blessed, you will bring | blessing. Life is given you to give the dying world. And suffering |
| Tx:27.48 | suffering eyes no longer will accuse, but shine in thanks to you who | blessing gave. The holy instant's radiance will light your eyes and |
| Tx:29.40 | this purpose as its own. Change is the only thing that can be made a | blessing here, where purpose is not fixed, however changeless it |
| Tx:29.42 | is forgiveness of God's Son! How free from fear, how filled with | blessing and with happiness! And what a joyous thing it is to dwell a |
| Tx:30.33 | it be. And not one Thought that God has ever had but waited for your | blessing to be born. God is no enemy to you. He asks no more than |
| Tx:30.36 | What cause have you for anger in a world which merely waits your | blessing to be free? If you be prisoner, then God Himself could not |
| Tx:30.64 | He delay in showing you the way that He must walk with you? His | blessing lies on you as surely as His Father's love rests upon Him. |

| W1:R4.12 | repeating first the thought that made the day a special time of | blessing and of happiness for us and through our faithfulness |
| W1:151.11 | hate, the constancy in change, the pure in sin, and only Heaven's | blessing on the world. |
| W1:153.9 | we will fulfill our chosen purpose as our ministry extends its holy | blessing through the world. |

| W1:187.7 | Accept not suffering, and you remove the thought of suffering. Your | blessing lies on everyone who suffers when you choose to see all |
| W1:187.8 | proves that error has arisen and correction must be made. Your | blessing will correct it. Given first to you, it now is yours to give |
| W1:188.3 | around the world. It pauses to caress each living thing and leave a | blessing with it which remains forever and forever. What it gives |
| W1:188.4 | you, the giver of the gift, does God Himself give thanks. And in His | blessing does the light in you shine brighter, adding to the gifts |
| W1:188.9 | devoid of sin, and open to salvation. And we lay our saving | blessing on it as we say: |
| W1:198.6 | will work. His words will save. His words contain all hope, all | blessing and all joy that ever can be found upon this earth. His |
| W1:207.1 | [187] I bless the world because I bless myself. God's | blessing shines upon me from within my heart where He abides. I need |
| W2:269.1 | I ask Your | blessing on my sight today. It is the means which You have chosen to |
| W2:274.2 | A special | blessing comes to us today from Him Who is our Father. Give this day |
| W2:283.2 | our only Source and everything created part of us. And so we offer | blessing to all things, uniting lovingly with all the world, which |
| W2:308.1 | is now, without a past or future. He has come to give His present | blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love. And |
| W2:WILJ.1 | corrected mind. And with this holy sight, perception gives a silent | blessing and then disappears, its goal accomplished and its mission |
| M:6.2 | and trust that it will be accepted when it is recognized as a | blessing and not a curse. |
| M:14.5 | And only complete forgiveness brings all this to bless the world. In | blessing it departs, for it will not end as it began. To turn hell |

| Tx:19.32 | attractive and believe that sin is precious. For the belief that | bodies limit mind leads to a perception of the world in which the |

| Tx:23.51 | this choice shows you the battle is not real and easily escaped. | Bodies may battle, but the clash of forms is meaningless. And it is |
| Tx:23.53 | where to look, where meaning can be given what you see. For only | bodies could attack and murder, and if this is your purpose, then you |
| Tx:24.30 | Yet they are powerless to make attack upon illusions. They are not | bodies; as One mind they wait for all illusions to be brought to them |

| Tx:25.1 | may call to them to come to Him and see Him where they thought their | bodies were. Then will their bodies melt away that they may frame His |
| Tx:25.1 | and see Him where they thought their bodies were. Then will their | bodies melt away that they may frame His holiness in them. |

| Tx:26.3 | yourself, the body's loss would be a sacrifice indeed. For sight of | bodies becomes the sign that sacrifice is limited and something still |

| Tx:2.53 | but this is only because it is responding to mis-thought. The | body cannot create, and the belief that it can, a fundamental error, |
| Tx:2.54 | two forms—it can be believed that the mind can miscreate in the | body or that the body can miscreate in the mind. If it is understood |
| Tx:2.54 | can be believed that the mind can miscreate in the body or that the | body can miscreate in the mind. If it is understood that the mind, |
| Tx:2.55 | than may be immediately apparent. The Soul has been created. The | body is a learning device for the mind. Learning devices are not |
| Tx:2.56 | The | body, if properly understood, shares the invulnerability of the |
| Tx:2.56 | of the Atonement to two-edged application. This is not because the | body is a miracle but because it is not inherently open to |
| Tx:2.56 | but because it is not inherently open to misinterpretation. The | body is merely a fact in human experience. Its abilities can be and |
| Tx:2.57 | principles. It was the first level of the error to believe that the | body created its own illness. It is a second misstep to attempt to |
| Tx:2.57 | case it may be wise to utilize a compromise approach to mind and | body, in which something from the outside is temporarily given |
| Tx:2.60 | arose from the underlying misbelief that harm can be limited to the | body. This was because of the much greater fear that the mind can |
| Tx:2.61 | is already perfect and therefore does not require correction. The | body does not really exist except as a learning device for the mind. |
| Tx:2.65 | releases the mind from over-evaluating its own learning device (the | body) and restores the mind to its true position as the learner. |
| Tx:2.66 | It should be emphasized again that the | body does not learn any more than it creates. As a learning device, |
| Tx:2.66 | is capable of illumination. The Soul is already illuminated, and the | body in itself is too dense. The mind, however, can bring its |
| Tx:2.66 | is too dense. The mind, however, can bring its illumination to the | body by recognizing that density is the opposite of intelligence and |
| Tx:3.23 | understood, the issue revolves around the question of whether the | body or the mind can see (or understand). This is not really open to |
| Tx:3.23 | see (or understand). This is not really open to question at all. The | body is not capable of understanding, and only the mind can perceive |
| Tx:3.23 | mind knows the truth, and this is its strength. It cannot attack the | body because it recognizes exactly what the body is. This is what “a |
| Tx:3.23 | It cannot attack the body because it recognizes exactly what the | body is. This is what “a sane mind in a sane body” really means. It |
| Tx:3.35 | of revelation and induces only thought. Perception involves the | body, even in its most spiritualized form. Knowledge comes from the |
| Tx:3.46 | The ability to perceive made the | body possible because you must perceive something and with something. |
| Tx:3.46 | a distorted form of creation, then permitted man to interpret the | body as himself, which, though depressing, was an attempt to escape |
| Tx:3.46 | almost inaccessible to the mind and entirely inaccessible to the | body. |
| Tx:3.48 | from the bottom up. I demonstrated both the powerlessness of the | body and the power of the mind. By uniting my will with that of my |
| Tx:4.3 | ego in an attempt at reparation, and finally the crucifixion of the | body or death. |
| Tx:4.20 | about the child's origin. The brother can protect the child's | body and his ego, which are very closely related, but he does not |
| Tx:4.20 | he does this, although the child may. I can be entrusted with your | body and your ego simply because this enables you not to be concerned |
| Tx:4.32 | Bodily appetites are not physical in origin. The ego regards the | body as its home and does try to satisfy itself through the body, but |
| Tx:4.32 | the body as its home and does try to satisfy itself through the | body, but the idea that this is possible is a decision of the ego, |
| Tx:4.47 | unconscious thus contains the Call of God as well as the call of the | body. That is why the basic conflict between love and fear is |
| Tx:4.70 | is its lack of discrimination between impulses from God and from the | body. Any thought system which makes this confusion must be insane. |
| Tx:4.70 | Higher Source, then, makes some sense in ego-terms. But fear of the | body, with which the ego identifies so closely, is more blatantly |
| Tx:4.71 | The | body is the ego's home by its own election. It is the only |
| Tx:4.71 | is the belief that the ego sponsors eagerly. Yet the ego hates the | body because it does not accept the idea that the body is good enough |
| Tx:4.71 | the ego hates the body because it does not accept the idea that the | body is good enough to be its home. Here is where the mind becomes |
| Tx:4.71 | actually dazed. Being told by the ego that it is really part of the | body and that the body is its protector, the mind is also constantly |
| Tx:4.71 | told by the ego that it is really part of the body and that the | body is its protector, the mind is also constantly informed that the |
| Tx:4.71 | body is its protector, the mind is also constantly informed that the | body can not protect it. This, of course, is not only accurate but |
| Tx:4.72 | the ego that it has itself insisted that it is identified with the | body, so there is no point in turning to it for protection. The ego |
| Tx:4.77 | ego attempt is particularly noteworthy. The idea of preserving the | body by suspension, thus giving it the kind of limited immortality |
| Tx:4.103 | The medical orientation to rehabilitation emphasizes the | body, while the vocational orientation stresses the ego. The “team” |
| Tx:4.104 | down on by the ego because of its belief that nothing but a perfect | body is worthy as its own temple. |
| Tx:4.105 | A mind that recoils from a hurt | body is in great need of rehabilitation itself. All symptoms of hurt |
| Tx:5.64 | freedom. The guiltless mind cannot suffer. Being sane, it heals the | body because it has been healed. The sane mind cannot conceive of |
| Tx:6.7 | Assault can ultimately be made only on the | body. There is little doubt that one body can assault another and can |
| Tx:6.7 | ultimately be made only on the body. There is little doubt that one | body can assault another and can even destroy it. Yet if destruction |
| Tx:6.48 | something alien to itself in your mind, the ego turns to the | body, not the mind, as its ally, because the body is not part of you. |
| Tx:6.48 | the ego turns to the body, not the mind, as its ally, because the | body is not part of you. This makes the body the ego's friend. It is |
| Tx:6.48 | as its ally, because the body is not part of you. This makes the | body the ego's friend. It is an alliance frankly based on separation. |
| Tx:6.49 | The ego and the | body conspire against your minds, and because the ego realizes that |
| Tx:6.61 | When your | body and your ego and your dreams are gone, you will know that you |
| Tx:6.61 | through life, and life is of the mind and in the mind. The | body neither lives nor dies, because it cannot contain you who are |
| Tx:6.62 | God did not make the | body because it is destructible and therefore not of the Kingdom. The |
| Tx:6.62 | because it is destructible and therefore not of the Kingdom. The | body is the symbol of what you think you are. It is clearly a |
| Tx:6.62 | separation into a demonstration against it. If the mind can heal the | body but the body cannot heal the mind, then the mind must be |
| Tx:6.62 | a demonstration against it. If the mind can heal the body but the | body cannot heal the mind, then the mind must be stronger. Every |
| Tx:6.63 | that only the mind is real since only the mind can be shared. The | body is separate and therefore cannot be part of you. To be of one |
| Tx:6.63 | be part of you. To be of one mind is meaningful, but to be of one | body is meaningless. By the laws of mind, then, the body is |
| Tx:6.63 | but to be of one body is meaningless. By the laws of mind, then, the | body is meaningless. To the Holy Spirit, there is no order of |
| Tx:6.65 | knowledge. [You do not lose what you communicate.] The ego uses the | body for attack, for pleasure, and for pride. The insanity of this |
| Tx:6.65 | perception makes it a fearful one indeed. The Holy Spirit sees the | body only as a means of communication and because communicating is |
| Tx:7.13 | as separate largely because he perceives of himself as bounded by a | body. Only if he perceives himself as a mind can [he overcome this]. |
| Tx:7.39 | The | body is nothing more than a framework for developing abilities. It is |
| Tx:7.39 | need no elaboration here, but the Holy Spirit's decision to use the | body only for communication has such a direct connection with healing |
| Tx:7.40 | is also the impulse to create, the ego can only teach you that the | body can both communicate and create and therefore does not need the |
| Tx:7.40 | does not need the mind. The ego thus tries to teach you that the | body can act like the mind and is therefore self-sufficient. Yet we |
| Tx:7.41 | no other, because He does not accept the ego's confusion of mind and | body. Minds can communicate, but they cannot hurt. The body in the |
| Tx:7.41 | of mind and body. Minds can communicate, but they cannot hurt. The | body in the service of the ego can hurt other bodies, but this cannot |
| Tx:7.41 | of the ego can hurt other bodies, but this cannot occur unless the | body has already been confused with the mind. This fact, too, can be |

| Tx:8.53 | in any form enters your mind, you are equating yourself with a | body. This is the ego's interpretation of the body. You do not have |
| Tx:8.53 | yourself with a body. This is the ego's interpretation of the | body. You do not have to attack physically to accept this |
| Tx:8.53 | attack would have no appeal for you. When you equate yourself with a | body, you will always experience depression. When a Child of God |
| Tx:8.54 | Remember that the Holy Spirit interprets the | body only as a means of communication. Being the communication link |
| Tx:8.54 | have made in the light of what He is. The ego separates through the | body. The Holy Spirit reaches through it to others. You do not |
| Tx:8.54 | and uniting them with yours and mine. This interpretation of the | body will change your mind entirely about its value. Of itself it has |
| Tx:8.55 | If you use the | body for attack, it is harmful to you. If you use it only to reach |
| Tx:8.55 | of those who believe they are bodies and teach them through the | body that this is not so, you will begin to understand the power of |
| Tx:8.55 | the power of the mind that is in both of you. If you use the | body for this and only for this, you cannot use it for attack. In the |
| Tx:8.55 | unlimited what you have limited. The Holy Spirit does not see the | body as you do, because He knows the only reality anything can have |
| Tx:8.56 | Communication ends separation. Attack promotes it. The | body is beautiful or ugly, holy or savage, helpful or harmful, |
| Tx:8.56 | or harmful, according to the use to which it is put. And in the | body of another you will see the use to which you have put yours. If |
| Tx:8.56 | of another you will see the use to which you have put yours. If the | body becomes for you a means which you give to the Holy Spirit to use |
| Tx:8.59 | thought is not physical. Yet thought is communication, for which the | body can be used. This is the only natural use to which it can be |
| Tx:8.59 | This is the only natural use to which it can be put. To use the | body unnaturally is to lose sight of the Holy Spirit's purpose and |
| Tx:8.61 | In the world, not even the | body is perceived as whole. Its purpose is seen as fragmented into |
| Tx:8.61 | devotion to Him replaces devotion to the ego. In this sense, the | body does become a temple to God, because His Voice abides in it by |
| Tx:8.62 | Healing is the result of using the | body solely for communication. Since this is natural, it heals by |
| Tx:8.62 | but it can be made manifest through the physical if it uses the | body to go beyond itself. By reaching out, the mind extends itself. |
| Tx:8.62 | By reaching out, the mind extends itself. It does not stop at the | body, for if it does, it is blocked in its purpose. A mind which has |
| Tx:8.63 | are the normal expressions of a mind which is working through the | body but not in it. If the mind believes the body is its goal, it |
| Tx:8.63 | is working through the body but not in it. If the mind believes the | body is its goal, it will distort its perception of the body and, by |
| Tx:8.63 | believes the body is its goal, it will distort its perception of the | body and, by blocking its own extension beyond it, will induce |
| Tx:8.63 | it, will induce illness by fostering separation. Perceiving the | body as a separate entity cannot but foster illness because it is not |
| Tx:8.64 | simultaneously with the same thing and not suffer? Perception of the | body can be unified only by one purpose. This releases the mind from |
| Tx:8.64 | one purpose. This releases the mind from the temptation to see the | body in many lights and gives it over entirely to the One Light in |
| Tx:8.64 | aids or the learning's real purpose. Learning must lead beyond the | body to the reestablishment of the power of the mind in it. This can |
| Tx:8.65 | to God's joyous Teacher, and you must be learning amiss. To see a | body as anything except a means of pure extension is to limit your |
| Tx:8.65 | Health is therefore nothing more than united purpose. If the | body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the body becomes |
| Tx:8.65 | purpose. If the body is brought under the purpose of the mind, the | body becomes whole, because the mind's purpose is one. Attack can |
| Tx:8.65 | mind's purpose is one. Attack can only be an assumed purpose of the | body, because apart from the mind the body has no purpose at all. |
| Tx:8.65 | be an assumed purpose of the body, because apart from the mind the | body has no purpose at all. |
| Tx:8.66 | You are not limited by the | body, and thought cannot be made flesh. Yet mind can be manifested |
| Tx:8.66 | thought cannot be made flesh. Yet mind can be manifested through the | body if it goes beyond it and does not interpret it as limitation. |
| Tx:8.66 | it as limitation. Whenever you see another as limited to or by the | body, you are imposing this limit on yourself. Are you willing to |
| Tx:8.66 | learning should be to escape from limitations? To conceive of the | body as a means of attack of any kind and to entertain even the |
| Tx:8.67 | any of the results of your condemnation. When you see a brother as a | body, you are condemning him because you have condemned yourself. Yet |
| Tx:8.69 | Attitudes toward the | body are attitudes toward attack. The ego's definitions of everything |
| Tx:8.69 | to it. 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 |
| Tx:8.69 | it is. To the ego, the body is to attack with. Equating you with the | body, it teaches that you are to attack with, because this is what it |
| Tx:8.69 | that you are to attack with, because this is what it believes. The | body, then, is not the source of its own health. The body's condition |
| Tx:8.71 | The | body exists in a world which seems to contain two voices which are |
| Tx:8.71 | fighting for its possession. In this perceived constellation, the | body is regarded as capable of shifting its control from one to the |
| Tx:8.71 | confusion between means and ends, as it always does. Regarding the | body as an end, the ego has no real use for it because it is not an |
| Tx:8.72 | has been particularly difficult to overcome the ego's belief in the | body as an end, because this is synonymous with the belief in attack |
| Tx:8.75 | It is still true that the | body has no function of itself, because it is not an end. The ego, |
| Tx:8.75 | Its sole aim is to lose sight of the function of everything. A sick | body does not make any sense. It could not make sense, because |
| Tx:8.75 | any sense. It could not make sense, because sickness is not what the | body is for. Sickness is meaningful only if the two basic premises on |
| Tx:8.75 | if the two basic premises on which the ego's interpretation of the | body rests are true. Specifically, these are that the body is for |
| Tx:8.75 | of the body rests are true. Specifically, these are that the | body is for attack and that you are a body. Without these premises, |
| Tx:8.75 | these are that the body is for attack and that you are a | body. Without these premises, sickness is completely inconceivable. |
| Tx:8.79 | The Holy Spirit teaches you to use your | body only to reach your brothers, so He can teach His message through |
| Tx:8.79 | it cannot be sick. Everything used otherwise is. Do not allow the | body to be a mirror of a split mind. Do not let it be an image of |
| Tx:8.79 | Health is the result of relinquishing all attempts to use the | body lovelessly. Health is the beginning of the proper perspective on |
| Tx:8.80 | ego tempts you to sickness, do not ask the Holy Spirit to heal the | body, for this would merely be to accept the ego's belief that the |
| Tx:8.80 | body, for this would merely be to accept the ego's belief that the | body is the proper aim for healing. Ask rather that the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:8.80 | rather that the Holy Spirit teach you the right perception of the | body, for perception alone can be distorted. Only perception can be |
| Tx:8.85 | The ego, which always weakens the will, wants to separate the | body from the mind. This is an attempt to destroy it, yet the ego |
| Tx:8.87 | you to be perfect, to heal all errors, to take no thought of the | body as separate, and to accomplish all things in my name. This is |
| Tx:8.88 | are not of one mind and that is sickness. Yet sickness is not of the | body, but of the mind. All forms of dysfunction are merely signs that |
| Tx:13.55 | value and will value it. A little piece of glass, a speck of dust, a | body or a war are one to you. For if you value one thing made of |
| Tx:15.72 | goes or what it thinks, for this seems unimportant. As long as the | body is there to receive its sacrifice, it is content. To the ego, |
| Tx:15.72 | it is content. To the ego, the mind is private, and only the | body can be shared. Ideas are basically of no concern, except as they |
| Tx:15.72 | shared. Ideas are basically of no concern, except as they draw the | body of another closer or farther. And it is in these terms that it |
| Tx:15.75 | Yet remember this—to be with a | body is not communication. And if you think it is, you will feel |
| Tx:15.76 | The illusion of the autonomy of the | body and its ability to overcome loneliness is but the working of the |
| Tx:15.76 | establish its own autonomy. As long as you believe that to be with a | body is companionship, you will be compelled to attempt to keep your |
| Tx:15.76 | you will be compelled to attempt to keep your brother in his | body, held there by guilt. And you will see safety in guilt and |
| Tx:15.85 | As the ego would limit your perception of your brothers to the | body, so would the Holy Spirit release your vision and let you see |
| Tx:15.86 | as wholly without gratification what you think you want. The | body is the symbol of the ego, as the ego is the symbol of the |
| Tx:15.87 | by God. In the holy instant, where the Great Rays replace the | body in awareness, the recognition of relationships without limits is |
| Tx:15.87 | see this, 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 |
| Tx:15.87 | you would share with it. For the ego would limit everyone to a | body for its purposes, and while you think it has a purpose, you will |
| Tx:15.88 | make little and ineffectual. Limit your vision of a brother to his | body, which you will do as long as you would not release him from it, |
| Tx:15.88 | not release him from it, and you have denied his gift to you. His | body cannot give it. And seek it not through yours. Yet your minds |
| Tx:15.89 | Would you not exchange your little relationships for this? For the | body is little and limited, and only those whom you would see without |
| Tx:15.91 | When the | body ceases to attract you and when you place no value on it as a |
| Tx:15.91 | free as God's. As you let the Holy Spirit teach you how to use the | body only for purposes of communication and renounce its use for |
| Tx:15.91 | which the ego sees in it, you will learn you have no need of a | body at all. In the holy instant there are no bodies, and you |
| Tx:15.105 | As long as you perceive the | body as your reality, so long will you perceive yourself as lonely |
| Tx:15.107 | of love by teaching that communication remains unbroken, even if the | body is destroyed, provided that you see not the body as the |
| Tx:15.107 | even if the body is destroyed, provided that you see not the | body as the necessary means of communication. And if you understand |
| Tx:15.107 | you understand this lesson, you will realize that to sacrifice the | body is to sacrifice nothing, and communication, which must be of the |
| Tx:16.53 | two separate people on which each seeks to kill his self and on his | body raise another self which takes its power from his death. Over |
| Tx:16.61 | The special relationship is totally without meaning without a | body. And if you value it, you must also value the body. And what you |
| Tx:16.61 | meaning without a body. And if you value it, you must also value the | body. And what you value, you will keep. The special relationship is |
| Tx:16.61 | The special relationship is a device for limiting your self to a | body and for limiting your perception of others to theirs. The Great |
| Tx:16.61 | the special relationship if they were seen. For in seeing them, the | body would disappear because its value would be lost. And so your |
| Tx:16.63 | Across the bridge, it is so different! For a time the | body is still seen but not exclusively, as it is seen here. For the |
| Tx:16.63 | to littleness. Once you have crossed the bridge, the value of the | body is so diminished in your sight that you will see no need at all |
| Tx:16.63 | to magnify it. For you will realize that the only value which the | body has is to enable you to bring your brothers to the bridge with |
| Tx:17.16 | why all such relationships become the attempt at union through the | body, for only bodies can be seen as means for vengeance. That bodies |
| Tx:17.17 | In the unholy relationship, it is not the | body of the other with which union is attempted but the bodies of |
| Tx:17.17 | is attempted but the bodies of those who are not there. Even the | body of the other, already a severely limited perception of him, is |
| Tx:17.19 | “bliss.” How can the Holy Spirit bring His interpretation of the | body as a means of communication into relationships whose only |
| Tx:18.3 | from which the behavior stems. No one is seen complete. The | body is emphasized, with special emphasis on certain parts, and used |
| Tx:18.50 | You have displaced your guilt to your bodies from your minds. Yet a | body cannot be guilty, for it can do nothing of itself. You who think |
| Tx:18.51 | bodies are not. Only by assigning to the mind the properties of the | body does separation seem to be possible. And it is mind that seems |
| Tx:18.51 | and alone. Its guilt, which keeps it separate, is projected to the | body, which suffers and dies because it is attacked, to hold the |
| Tx:18.51 | Mind cannot attack, but it can make fantasies and direct the | body to act them out. Yet it is never what the body does that seems |
| Tx:18.51 | and direct the body to act them out. Yet it is never what the | body does that seems to satisfy. Unless the mind believes the body is |
| Tx:18.51 | the body does that seems to satisfy. Unless the mind believes the | body is actually acting out its fantasies, it will attack the body by |
| Tx:18.51 | 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 | attack, but it maintains it can and uses what it does to hurt the | body to prove it can. The mind cannot attack, but it can deceive |
| Tx:18.52 | itself. And this is all it does when it believes it has attacked the | body. It can project its guilt, but it will not lose it through |
| Tx:18.52 | And though it clearly can misperceive the function of the | body, it cannot change its function from what the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:18.52 | its function from what the Holy Spirit establishes it to be. The | body was not made by love. Yet love does not condemn it and can use |
| Tx:18.53 | fantasies of vengeance to release from them? Your perception of the | body can clearly be sick, but project not this upon the body. For |
| Tx:18.53 | of the body can clearly be sick, but project not this upon the | body. For your wish to make destructive what cannot destroy can have |
| Tx:18.54 | It is insane to use the | body as the scapegoat for guilt, directing its attack and blaming it |
| Tx:18.54 | the fantasies you want, and they have nothing to do with what the | body does. It does not dream of them, and they but make it a |
| Tx:18.54 | a liability where it could be an asset. For fantasies have made your | body your “enemy,” weak, vulnerable, and treacherous, worthy of the |
| Tx:18.56 | to house your hate is not a prison but an illusion of yourself. The | body is a limit imposed on the universal communication which is an |
| Tx:18.57 | The | body is outside you, and but seems to surround you, shutting you off |
| Tx:18.58 | to Heaven. You whose hands are joined have begun to reach beyond the | body, but not outside yourselves, to reach your shared Identity |
| Tx:18.58 | together. Could this be outside you? Where God is not? Is He a | body, and did He create you as He is not and where He cannot be? You |
| Tx:18.59 | entails, you will realize that it is a sudden unawareness of the | body and a joining of yourself and something else in which your mind |
| Tx:18.59 | but merely accepting it. You have accepted this instead of the | body and have let yourself be one with something beyond it simply by |
| Tx:18.60 | it, letting your limits melt away, suspending all the “laws” your | body obeys and gently setting them aside. |
| Tx:18.61 | There is no violence at all in this escape. The | body is not attacked, but simply properly perceived. It does not |
| Tx:18.61 | of peace and joy, and, above all, the lack of awareness of the | body and of the questioning whether or not all this is possible. |
| Tx:18.63 | You still have too much faith in the | body as a source of strength. What plans do you make that do not |
| Tx:18.64 | have never done—not for one instant have you utterly forgotten the | body. It has faded at times from your sight, but it has not yet |
| Tx:18.64 | that the miracle of Atonement happens. Afterwards, you will see the | body again, but never quite the same. And every instant that you |
| Tx:18.65 | At no single instant does the | body exist at all. It is always remembered or anticipated, but never |
| Tx:18.66 | and long periods of meditation aimed at detachment from the | body necessary. All such attempts will ultimately succeed because of |
| Tx:18.69 | To do anything involves the | body. And if you recognize you need do nothing, you have withdrawn |
| Tx:18.69 | is to rest and make a place within you where the activity of the | body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:18.70 | are sent. For from this center will you be directed how to use the | body sinlessly. It is this center, from which the body is absent, |
| Tx:18.70 | how to use the body sinlessly. It is this 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 limit on love. |
| Tx:18.71 | only the awareness of the body that makes love seem limited. For the | body is a limit on love. The belief in limited love was its origin, |
| Tx:18.71 | for it was made to limit you. Can you who see yourselves within a | body know yourself as an idea? Everything you recognize you identify |
| Tx:18.71 | something outside itself. You cannot even think of God without a | body or some form you think you recognize. |
| Tx:18.72 | The | body cannot know. And while you limit your awareness to its tiny |
| Tx:18.72 | not see the grandeur which surrounds you. God cannot come into a | body, nor can you join Him there. Limits on love will always seem to |
| Tx:18.72 | 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 glorious and complete |
| Tx:18.75 | in which those in a world inhabited by bodies seem to be. Each | body seems to house a separate mind, a disconnected thought living |
| Tx:18.81 | answer is inevitable. It will come because you came without the | body and interposed no barriers which would interfere with its glad |
| Tx:18.87 | no messages which speak of what lies underneath, for it is not the | body that could speak of this. Its eyes perceive it not; its senses |
| Tx:18.88 | The circle of fear lies just below the level the | body sees and seems to be the whole foundation on which the world is |
| Tx:18.88 | coverings and kept apart from what was made to keep it hidden. The | body cannot see this, for the body arose from this for its |
| Tx:18.88 | what was made to keep it hidden. The body cannot see this, for the | body arose from this for its protection, which must always depend on |
| Tx:18.89 | The | body will remain guilt's messenger and will act as it directs as long |
| Tx:19.2 | purpose real because you make it whole. And this is healing. The | body is healed because you came without it and joined the mind in |
| Tx:19.3 | The | body cannot heal because it cannot make itself sick. It needs no |
| Tx:19.3 | as separated from the Universal Purpose. When this occurs, the | body becomes its weapon used against this Purpose to demonstrate the |
| Tx:19.3 | Purpose to demonstrate the “fact” that separation has occurred. The | body thus becomes the instrument of illusion, acting accordingly; |
| Tx:19.4 | to illusions. For faithlessness is the perception of a brother as a | body, and the body cannot be used for purposes of union. If, then, |
| Tx:19.4 | For faithlessness is the perception of a brother as a body, and the | body cannot be used for purposes of union. If, then, you see your |
| Tx:19.4 | be used for purposes of union. If, then, you see your brother as a | body, you have established a condition in which uniting with him |
| Tx:19.4 | the Holy Spirit's purpose and brought illusions centered on the | body to stand between you. And the body will seem to be sick, for you |
| Tx:19.4 | brought illusions centered on the body to stand between you. And the | body will seem to be sick, for you have made of it an “enemy” of |
| Tx:19.6 | forever impossible to attain, for part of it is sought through the | body, thought of as a means for seeking out reality through attack, |
| Tx:19.6 | other part would heal and therefore calls upon the mind and not the | body. The inevitable compromise is the belief that the body must be |
| Tx:19.6 | and not the body. The inevitable compromise is the belief that the | body must be healed, and not the mind. For this divided goal has |
| Tx:19.6 | reality, which could be possible only if the mind is limited to the | body and divided into little parts of seeming wholeness but without |
| Tx:19.6 | of seeming wholeness but without connection. This will not harm the | body, but it will keep the delusional thought system in the mind. |
| Tx:19.8 | never separate from its source. The idea of separation produced the | body and remains connected to it, making it sick because of its |
| Tx:19.8 | of its identification with it. You think you are protecting the | body by hiding this connection, for this concealment seems to keep |
| Tx:19.13 | Who joined you and in Whom you are united. Grace is not given to a | body, but to a mind. And the mind that receives it looks instantly |
| Tx:19.13 | to a mind. And the mind that receives it looks instantly beyond the | body and sees the holy place where it was healed. There is the altar |
| Tx:19.16 | nothing, being lord of all along with his Creator. You can enslave a | body, but an idea is free, incapable of being kept in prison or |
| Tx:19.30 | which could change perception is thus kept impotent, held to the | body by the fear of changed perception which its teacher, who is one |
| Tx:19.32 | While you believe that your reality or your brother's is bounded by a | body, you will believe in sin. While you believe that bodies can |
| Tx:19.57 | Yet would I offer you my | body, you whom I love, knowing its littleness? Or would I teach that |
| Tx:19.57 | does not atone for sin. Yet you can live to show it is not real. The | body does appear to be the symbol of sin while you believe that it |
| Tx:19.58 | of completion which goes beyond guilt because it goes beyond the | body. |
| Tx:19.59 | across, and closely related to the first, is the belief that the | body is valuable for what it offers. For here is the attraction of |
| Tx:19.59 | it offers. For here is the attraction of guilt made manifest in the | body and seen in it. |
| Tx:19.61 | Is it a sacrifice or a release? What has the | body really given you that justifies your strange belief that in it |
| Tx:19.61 | love is fear. The Holy Spirit's messengers are sent far beyond the | body, calling the mind to join in holy communion and be at peace. |
| Tx:19.62 | It is only the messengers of fear that see the | body, for they look for what can suffer. Is it a sacrifice to be |
| Tx:19.69 | only with what already is at peace in you, immortal as itself. The | body can bring you neither peace nor turmoil; neither pain nor joy. |
| Tx:19.69 | end. It has no purpose of itself, but only what is given to it. The | body will seem to be whatever is the means for reaching the goal that |
| Tx:19.70 | 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 lies |
| Tx:19.71 | It is impossible to seek for pleasure through the | body and not find pain. It is essential that this relationship be |
| Tx:19.71 | all. It is but the inevitable result of equating yourself with the | body, which is the invitation to pain. For it invites fear to enter |
| Tx:19.71 | of guilt must enter with it, and whatever fear directs the | body to do is therefore painful. It will share the pain of all |
| Tx:19.72 | Is not this inevitable? Under fear's orders, the | body will pursue guilt, serving its master whose attraction to guilt |
| Tx:19.72 | This, then, is the attraction of pain. Ruled by this perception, the | body becomes the servant of pain, seeking it dutifully and obeying |
| Tx:19.72 | is this idea that underlies all of the ego's heavy investment in the | body. And it is this insane relationship which it keeps hidden and |
| Tx:19.73 | Why should the | body be anything to you? Certainly what it is made of is not |
| Tx:19.73 | you the feelings that you want. Like any communication medium, the | body receives and sends the messages that it is given. It has no |
| Tx:19.74 | and free yourself. And to convince you this is possible, it bids the | body search for pain in attack upon another, calling it pleasure and |
| Tx:19.75 | the impossible is true. Forget not that the ego has dedicated the | body to the goal of sin and places in it all its faith that this can |
| Tx:19.75 | of guilt is the escape from pain. Not one but must regard the | body as himself, without which he would die, and yet within which is |
| Tx:19.81 | And what is the black-draped | body they would bury? A body which they dedicated to death, a symbol |
| Tx:19.81 | And what is the black-draped body they would bury? A | body which they dedicated to death, a symbol of corruption, a |
| Tx:19.81 | dedication to death. The glitter of guilt you laid upon the | body would kill it. For what the ego loves, it kills for its |
| Tx:19.82 | You have another dedication which would keep the | body incorruptible and perfect as long as it is useful for your holy |
| Tx:19.82 | and perfect as long as it is useful for your holy purpose. The | body no more dies than it can feel. It does nothing. Of itself, it is |
| Tx:19.83 | the one which seems to be the hardest can be accomplished first? The | body can but serve your purpose. As you look upon it, so will it seem |
| Tx:19.85 | grim commandments nor twisted rituals of condemnation to which the | body leads you. Ask not release of it. But free it from the merciless |
| Tx:19.88 | of fear, when any situation strikes you with terror and makes your | body tremble and the cold sweat of fear comes over it, remember it is |
| Tx:19.94 | of the quiet recognition that you love Him. The exaltation of the | body is given up in favor of the Spirit, which you love as you could |
| Tx:19.94 | in favor of the Spirit, which you love as you could never love the | body. And the appeal of death is lost forever as love's attraction |
| Tx:20.5 | Look upon all the trinkets made to hang upon the | body or to cover it or for its use. See all the useless things made |
| Tx:20.8 | If it be thorns whose points gleam sharply in a blood-red light, the | body is your chosen home, and it is separation that you offer me. And |
| Tx:20.41 | Your brother's | body is as little use to you as it is to him. When it is used only as |
| Tx:20.41 | the Holy Spirit teaches, it has no function, for minds need not the | body to communicate. The sight that sees the body has no use which |
| Tx:20.41 | for minds need not the body to communicate. The sight that sees the | body has no use which serves the purpose of a holy relationship. And |
| Tx:20.43 | to pain and death must be forgotten. This is no gift your brother's | body offers you. The veil that hides the gift hides him as well. He |
| Tx:20.46 | first is based on love and rests on it, serene and undisturbed. The | body does not intrude upon it. Any relationship in which the body |
| Tx:20.46 | The body does not intrude upon it. Any relationship in which the | body enters is based not on love, but on idolatry. Love wishes to be |
| Tx:20.48 | from the sun. It does not seek for power, but for relationships. The | body is the ego's chosen weapon for seeking power through |
| Tx:20.49 | The Holy Spirit's temple is not a | body, but a relationship. The body is an isolated speck of darkness; |
| Tx:20.49 | The Holy Spirit's temple is not a body, but a relationship. The | body is an isolated speck of darkness; a hidden secret room, a tiny |
| Tx:20.50 | You cannot make the | body the Holy Spirit's temple, and it will never be the seat of love. |
| Tx:20.51 | them as love's approach. Let love draw near them and overlook the | body, as it will surely do, and they retreat in fear, feeling the |
| Tx:20.51 | safe in your relationship and not your bodies. You have escaped the | body. Where you are the body cannot enter, for the Holy Spirit has |
| Tx:20.51 | and not your bodies. You have escaped the body. Where you are the | body cannot enter, for the Holy Spirit has set His temple there. |
| Tx:20.53 | instant which offers you peace and understanding? Then lay aside the | body and quietly transcend it, rising to welcome what you really |
| Tx:20.54 | held gently open, through which you walk together, leaving the | body thankfully behind and resting in the Everlasting Arms. Love's |
| Tx:20.55 | The | body is the ego's idol; the belief in sin made flesh and then |
| Tx:20.56 | is given him to choose to spend this instant paying tribute to the | body or let himself be given freedom from it. Here he can accept the |
| Tx:20.57 | that to those who have been given one true relationship beyond the | body? Can they be long held back from looking on the face of Christ? |
| Tx:20.61 | to see your brother as sinless and yet to look upon him as a | body. Is this not perfectly consistent with the goal of holiness? For |
| Tx:20.61 | be lifted so what was always true is recognized. To see a sinless | body is impossible, for holiness is positive, and the body is merely |
| Tx:20.61 | see a sinless body is impossible, for holiness is positive, and the | body is merely neutral. It is not sinful, but neither is it sinless. |
| Tx:20.61 | not sinful, but neither is it sinless. As nothing, which it is, the | body cannot meaningfully be invested with attributes of Christ or of |
| Tx:20.62 | The | body is the means by which the ego tries to make the unholy |
| Tx:20.62 | be attained but in illusion, and so the illusion of a brother as a | body is quite in keeping with the purpose of unholiness. Because of |
| Tx:20.62 | to wish, for sight is always secondary to desire. And if you see the | body, you have chosen judgment and not vision. For vision, like |
| Tx:20.63 | Who sees a brother's | body has laid a judgment on him and sees him not. He does not really |
| Tx:20.63 | it. And here in darkness is your brother's reality imagined as a | body, in unholy relationships with other bodies, serving the cause of |
| Tx:20.65 | The | body cannot be looked upon except through judgment. To see the body |
| Tx:20.65 | The body cannot be looked upon except through judgment. To see the | body is the sign that you lack vision and have denied the means the |
| Tx:20.65 | from Him Who would undo your teaching. His vision cannot see the | body because it cannot look on sin. And thus it leads you to reality. |
| Tx:20.66 | Your 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 |
| Tx:20.69 | your vision and give you joy. And place no value on your brother's | body, which holds him to illusions of what he is. It is his desire to |
| Tx:20.70 | to be given. You have the vision which enables each one to see the | body not. And as you look upon each other, you will see an altar to |
| Tx:20.70 | upon it. What can you value more than this? Why do you think the | body is a better home, a safer shelter for God's Son? Why would you |
| Tx:20.71 | The | body is the sign of weakness, vulnerability, and loss of power. Can |
| Tx:21.7 | to lose the little that they have. And so it is with all who see the | body as all they have and all their brothers have. They try to reach |
| Tx:21.7 | again. And they adjust to loneliness, believing that to keep the | body is to save the little that they have. Listen and try to think if |
| Tx:21.10 | Beyond the | body, beyond the sun and stars, past everything you see and yet |
| Tx:21.11 | joined in you. Accept the vision which can show you this and not the | body. You know the ancient song and know it well. Nothing will ever |
| Tx:21.35 | you think is sin is limitation, and whom you try to limit to the | body you hate because you fear. In your refusal to forgive him, you |
| Tx:21.35 | fear. In your refusal to forgive him, you would condemn him to the | body because the means for sin are dear to you. And so the body has |
| Tx:21.35 | to the body because the means for sin are dear to you. And so the | body has your faith and your belief. But holiness would set your |
| Tx:21.36 | Those who would free their brothers from the | body can have no fear. They have renounced the means for sin by |
| Tx:21.36 | in holiness, the power of belief and faith goes far beyond the | body, supporting vision, not obstructing it. But first they chose to |
| Tx:21.38 | you cannot see because of it. For sacrifice must be exacted of a | body and by another body. The mind could neither ask it nor receive |
| Tx:21.38 | of it. For sacrifice must be exacted of a body and by another | body. The mind could neither ask it nor receive it of itself. And no |
| Tx:21.38 | could neither ask it nor receive it of itself. And no more could the | body. The intention is in the mind, which tries to use the body to |
| Tx:21.38 | could the body. The intention is in the mind, which tries to use the | body to carry out the means for sin in which the mind believes. Thus |
| Tx:21.38 | for sin in which the mind believes. Thus is the joining of mind and | body an inescapable belief of those who value sin. And so is |
| Tx:21.40 | The | body was made to be a sacrifice to sin, and in the darkness so it |
| Tx:21.40 | beyond. You gave perception and belief and faith from mind to | body. Let them now be given back to what produced them and can use |
| Tx:21.51 | as natural. They are as simple and natural to It as breathing to the | body. They are the obvious response to calls for help, the only one |
| Tx:21.61 | could this be. Nor could one mind think only for itself unless the | body were the mind. For only bodies can be separate and therefore |
| Tx:21.62 | But the insane know not their will. For they believe they see the | body and let their madness tell them it is real. Reason would be |
| Tx:21.62 | real. Reason would be incapable of this. And if you would defend the | body against your reason, you will not understand the body or |
| Tx:21.62 | defend the body against your reason, you will not understand the | body or yourself. |
| Tx:21.63 | The | body does not separate you from your brother, and if you think it |
| Tx:21.63 | believes it also has the means to make its purpose real. To see the | body as a barrier between what reason tells you must be joined must |
| Tx:22.3 | no difference between these selves, for differences are only of the | body. Therefore, he looks on nothing he would take. He denies not his |
| Tx:22.4 | It must reach out beyond itself, as you reached out beyond the | body to let yourselves be joined. And now the sameness which you saw |
| Tx:22.6 | vision sees. This you would understand. The brain interprets to the | body, of which it is a part. But what it says, you cannot understand. |
| Tx:22.8 | be. This is the emotion of secrecy, of private thoughts, and of the | body. This is the one emotion that opposes love and always leads to |
| Tx:22.13 | you that they must have seen each other through a vision not of the | body and communicated in a language the body does not speak. Nor |
| Tx:22.13 | through a vision not of the body and communicated in a language the | body does not speak. Nor could it be a fearful sight or sound that |
| Tx:22.36 | brother not be blocked by your perception of his sins and of his | body. What is there in him that you would attack except what you |
| Tx:22.36 | in him that you would attack except what you associate with his | body, which you believe can sin? Beyond his errors is his holiness |
| Tx:22.49 | foundation. Yes, to the body's eyes it looks like an enormous solid | body, immovable as is a mountain. Yet within you there is a Force |
| Tx:22.49 | Yet within you there is a Force which no illusions can resist. This | body only seems to be immovable; this Force is irresistible in truth. |
| Tx:22.51 | Do you want freedom of the | body or of the mind? For both you cannot have. Which do you value? |
| Tx:22.51 | it is and can be found. He will believe it possible of mind or | body, and he will make the other serve his choice as means to find it. |
| Tx:22.52 | Where freedom of the | body has been chosen, the mind is used as means whose value lies in |
| Tx:22.52 | to contrive ways to achieve the body's freedom. Yet freedom of the | body has no meaning, and so the mind is dedicated to serve illusions. |
| Tx:22.53 | is the only service which leads to freedom. To serve this end, the | body must be perceived as sinless because the goal is sinlessness. |
| Tx:23.9 | on grounds that have no meaning. For your beliefs converge upon the | body, the ego's chosen home, which you believe is yours. You meet at |
| Tx:23.11 | It is forgotten in the body's life, and if you think you are a | body, you will believe you have forgotten it. Yet truth can never be |
| Tx:23.29 | enemy and hidden where you would not think to look. He hid it in his | body, making it the cover for his guilt, the hiding place for what |
| Tx:23.29 | his guilt, the hiding place for what belongs to you. Now must his | body be destroyed and sacrificed that you may have that which belongs |
| Tx:23.30 | Behold, unveiled, the ego's secret gift, torn from your brother's | body, hidden there in malice and in hatred for the one to whom the |
| Tx:23.46 | of protection stands against the faith in murder. Here stands the | body, torn between the natural desire to communicate and the |
| Tx:23.48 | from one another. So will they be to those who see God's Son a | body. For it is not the body that is like the Son's Creator. And what |
| Tx:23.48 | So will they be to those who see God's Son a body. For it is not the | body that is like the Son's Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be |
| Tx:23.48 | Creator. And what is lifeless cannot be the Son of Life. How can a | body be extended to hold the universe? Can it create and be what it |
| Tx:23.49 | God does not share His function with a | body. He gave the function to create unto His Son because it is His |
| Tx:23.53 | unifies, and those who share a purpose have a mind as one. The | body has no purpose and must be solitary. From below, it cannot be |
| Tx:23.53 | it exerts on those in battle still are gone and not perceived. The | body stands between the Father and the Heaven He created for His Son |
| Tx:23.55 | perfection? For everything fought for on the battleground is of the | body—something it seems to offer or to own. No one who knows that |
| Tx:24.7 | you are and what your brother is. And here is what must make the | body dear and worth preserving. Specialness must be defended. |
| Tx:24.24 | The hope of specialness makes it seem possible God made the | body as the prison-house which keeps His Son from Him. For it demands |
| Tx:24.35 | What could the purpose of the | body be but specialness? And it is this that makes it frail and |
| Tx:24.35 | cannot change. But what they hold as purpose can be changed, and | body states must shift accordingly. Of itself the body can do |
| Tx:24.35 | be changed, and body states must shift accordingly. Of itself the | body can do nothing. See it as means to hurt, and it is hurt. See it |
| Tx:24.54 | hold the vision you were meant to see from you. Your brother's | body shows not Christ to you. He is set forth within his holiness. |
| Tx:24.55 | Choose, then, his | body or his holiness as what you want to see, and which you choose is |
| Tx:24.55 | denial of Christ in him. And where is your salvation if he is but a | body? Where is your peace but in his holiness? And where is God |
| Tx:24.56 | Christ in you beholds his holiness. Your specialness looks on his | body and beholds him not. |
| Tx:24.59 | in need of nothing, and unjoined with anything beyond the | body. In its eyes, you are a separate universe with all the power to |
| Tx:24.61 | You who believe it easier to see your brother's | body than his holiness, be sure you understand what made this |
| Tx:24.65 | Ask yourself this: can you protect the mind? The | body, yes, a little—not from time, but temporarily. And much you |
| Tx:24.70 | Look at yourself, and you will see a | body. Look at this body in a different light, and it looks different. |
| Tx:24.70 | Look at yourself, and you will see a body. Look at this | body in a different light, and it looks different. And without a |
| Tx:24.71 | Thus is the | body made a theory of yourself with no provisions made for evidence |
| Tx:24.71 | Him joy and witness to His love and shared His purpose, so does the | body testify to the idea that made it and speak for its reality and |
| Tx:25.1 | The Christ in you inhabits not a | body. Yet He is in you. And thus it must be that you are not within a |
| Tx:25.1 | Yet He is in you. And thus it must be that you are not within a | body. What is within you cannot be outside. And it is certain that |
| Tx:25.2 | holiness, as plain to see as is his specialness set forth within his | body. |
| Tx:25.3 | The | body needs no healing. But the mind that thinks it is a body is sick |
| Tx:25.3 | The body needs no healing. But the mind that thinks it is a | body is sick indeed! And it is here that Christ sets forth the |
| Tx:25.3 | it is here that Christ sets forth the remedy. His purpose folds the | body in His light and fills it with the holiness that shines from |
| Tx:25.3 | it with the holiness that shines from Him. And nothing that the | body says or does but makes Him manifest. To those who know Him not, |
| Tx:25.4 | it is He Who does it. And in the doing of it will you learn the | body merely seems to be the means to do it. For the mind is His. And |
| Tx:25.4 | the mind is His. And so it must be yours. His holiness directs the | body through the mind at one with Him. And you are manifest unto your |
| Tx:25.5 | Perception tells you, you are manifest in what you see. Behold the | body, and you will believe that you are there. And every body that |
| Tx:25.5 | Behold the body, and you will believe that you are there. And every | body that you look upon reminds you of yourself—your sinfulness, |
| Tx:25.5 | are one. And you must see your brother as yourself. Framed in his | body, you will see your sinfulness wherein you stand condemned. Set |
| Tx:25.7 | all that it looks upon unto itself. Its radiance shines through each | body that it looks upon and brushes all its darkness into light |
| Tx:25.16 | if a masterpiece were there to see? Yet if you see your brother as a | body, it is but this you do. The masterpiece that God has set within |
| Tx:25.16 | that God has set within this frame is all there is to see. The | body holds it for a while without obscuring it in any way. Yet what |
| Tx:25.27 | of specialness to put it out of mind where it must be and light the | body up instead of it. The lamps of Heaven are not for it to choose |
| Tx:26.1 | of the central theme that somebody must lose. Its focus on the | body is apparent, for it is always an attempt to limit loss. The body |
| Tx:26.1 | the body is apparent, for it is always an attempt to limit loss. The | body is itself a sacrifice—a giving up of power in the name of |
| Tx:26.1 | of saving just a little for yourself. To see a brother in another | body separate from yours is the expression of a wish to see a little |
| Tx:26.3 | The little that the | body fences off becomes the self, preserved through sacrifice of all |
| Tx:26.3 | For giving and receiving are the same. And to accept the limits of a | body is to impose these limits on each brother whom you see. For you |
| Tx:26.4 | The | body is a loss and can be made to sacrifice. And while you see your |
| Tx:26.4 | and 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 |
| Tx:26.7 | God willed not they be. In Heaven God's Son is not imprisoned in a | body nor is sacrificed in solitude to sin. |
| Tx:26.54 | to him. This separating off is symbolized in your perception by a | body which is clearly separate and a thing apart. Yet what this |
| Tx:26.70 | time is not the enemy that you perceive. Time is as neutral as the | body is except in terms of what you see it for. If you would keep a |
| Tx:27.5 | Holy Spirit lays a picture of a different you. It is a picture of a | body still, for what you really are cannot be seen nor pictured. Yet |
| Tx:27.7 | tongues. And yet to both the message is the same. Adornment of the | body seeks to show how lovely are the witnesses for guilt. Concerns |
| Tx:27.7 | to show how lovely are the witnesses for guilt. Concerns about the | body demonstrate how frail and vulnerable is your life, how easily |
| Tx:27.9 | cherish little pleasures where you can. Yet in this picture is the | body not perceived as neutral and without a goal inherent in itself. |
| Tx:27.10 | function is can never be! The Holy Spirit's picture changes not the | body into something it is not. It only takes away from it all signs |
| Tx:27.11 | its peace can come and perfect healing take the place of death. The | body can become a sign of life, a promise of redemption, and a breath |
| Tx:27.12 | The simple way to let this be achieved is merely this—to let the | body have no purpose from the past, when you were sure you knew its |
| Tx:27.13 | and will attack again. Protect him not, because your damaged | body shows that you must be protected from him. To forgive may be an |
| Tx:27.16 | forgiving, offering salvation to your brother and yourself. A broken | body shows the mind has not been healed. A miracle of healing proves |
| Tx:27.17 | Your | body can be means to teach that it has never suffered pain because of |
| Tx:27.39 | one which you should choose. The others are not true. What can the | body get that you would want the most of all? It is your servant and |

| Tx:27.78 | The dreaming of the world takes many forms, because the | body seeks in many ways to prove it is autonomous and real. It puts |
| Tx:27.80 | out of places and events which it contrives. That this is all the | body does is true, for it is but a figure in a dream. But who reacts |

| Tx:28.23 | for the vengeance it would offer them. It is their vengeance on the | body which appears to prove the dreamer could not be the maker of the |
| Tx:28.26 | effects. And where effects are gone, there is no cause. Thus is the | body healed by miracles because they show the mind made sickness and |
| Tx:28.26 | miracles because they show the mind made sickness and employed the | body to be victim or effect of what it made. Yet half the lesson will |
| Tx:28.26 | teach the whole. The miracle is useless if you learn but that the | body can be healed, for this is not the lesson it was sent to teach. |
| Tx:28.26 | was sent to teach. The lesson is the mind was sick that thought the | body could be sick; projecting out its guilt caused nothing and had |
| Tx:28.27 | effects of taking back the consequence of sickness to its cause. The | body is released because the mind acknowledges “this is not done to |
| Tx:28.29 | it perceive itself as separate and apart from you. Thus is the | body not perceived as sick by both your minds, from separate points |
| Tx:28.31 | cause that sickness has. For it was made to keep you separated in a | body which you see as if it were the cause of pain. |
| Tx:28.32 | The cause of pain is separation, not the | body, which is only its effect. Yet separation is but empty space, |
| Tx:28.39 | is to you. He is not brother made by what he dreams, nor is his | body, “hero” of the dream, your brother. It is his reality that is |
| Tx:28.39 | as is yours to him. Your mind and his are joined in brotherhood. His | body and his dreams but seem to make a little gap, where yours have |
| Tx:28.50 | voices which its ears were made to hear. Yet sights and sounds the | body can perceive are meaningless. It cannot see nor hear. It does |
| Tx:28.54 | Who punishes the | body is insane. For here the little gap is seen, and yet it is not |
| Tx:28.56 | The thing you hate and fear and loathe and want, the | body does not know. You send it forth to seek for separation and to |
| Tx:28.57 | The | body represents the gap between the little bit of mind you call your |
| Tx:28.58 | Sickness is anger taken out upon the | body, so that it will suffer pain. It is the obvious effect of what |
| Tx:28.62 | his home upon a straw and count on it as shelter from the wind? The | body can be made a home like this because it lacks foundation in the |
| Tx:28.63 | With this as purpose is the | body healed. It is not used to witness to the dream of separation and |
| Tx:28.66 | between the safety of this shelter and its Source? From here the | body can be seen as what it is and neither less nor more in worth |
| Tx:29.4 | of separation, which protect you from the “sacrifice” of love. The | body saves you, for it gets away from total sacrifice and gives you |
| Tx:29.5 | The | body could not separate your minds unless you wanted it to be a cause |

| Tx:29.8 | any goal, is your excuse for variable goals you hold and force the | body to maintain. You do not fear its weakness, but its lack of |
| Tx:29.8 | no more. There is a wariness that is aroused by learning that the | body is not real. And there are overtones of seeming fear around the |

| Tx:29.16 | The | body does not change. It represents the larger dream that change is |
| Tx:29.16 | things. And they reflect the teacher who is teaching them. The | body can appear to change with time, with sickness or with health, |
| Tx:29.16 | the mind remains unchanged in its belief of what the purpose of the | body is. |
| Tx:29.17 | Sickness is a demand the | body be a thing that it is not. Its nothingness is guarantee that it |
| Tx:29.18 | The | body that is asked to be a god will be attacked because its |
| Tx:29.19 | As “something” is the | body asked to be God's enemy, replacing what He is with littleness |
| Tx:29.19 | limit and despair. It is His loss you celebrate when you behold the | body as a thing you love, or look upon it as a thing you hate. For if |
| Tx:29.20 | Condemn your savior not because he thinks he is a | body. For beyond his dreams is his reality. But he must learn he is a |
| Tx:29.21 | he made, that he be free of it. He must see someone else as not a | body, one with him, without the wall the world has built to keep |
| Tx:29.22 | within the darkness, you will see that God Himself is where his | body is. Before this light the body disappears, as heavy shadows must |
| Tx:29.22 | see that God Himself is where his body is. Before this light the | body disappears, as heavy shadows must give way to light. The |
| Tx:29.28 | some function which you have assigned, some goal which an event, or | body, or a thing should represent and should achieve for you. If it |
| Tx:29.42 | This world will bind your feet and tie your hands and kill your | body only if you think that it was made to crucify God's Son. For |
| Tx:29.44 | all the rest of it is not. This is the purpose he bestows upon the | body—that it seek for what he lacks and give him what would make |
| Tx:29.52 | And it is this which never is perceived and recognized. Be it a | body or a thing, a place, a situation or a circumstance, an object |
| Tx:31.28 | but actions. Bodies act, and minds do not. And therefore must the | body be at fault for what it does. It is not seen to be a passive |
| Tx:31.28 | and doing nothing of itself at all. If you are sin you are a | body, for the mind acts not. And purpose must be in the body, not the |
| Tx:31.28 | you are a body, for the mind acts not. And purpose must be in the | body, not the mind. The body must act on its own and motivate itself. |
| Tx:31.28 | mind acts not. And purpose must be in the body, not the mind. The | body must act on its own and motivate itself. If you are sin, you |
| Tx:31.28 | and motivate itself. If you are sin, you lock the mind within the | body, and you give its purpose to its prison-house, which acts |
| Tx:31.29 | Yet is the | body prisoner and not the mind. The body thinks no thoughts. It has |
| Tx:31.29 | Yet is the body prisoner and not the mind. The | body thinks no thoughts. It has no power to learn, to pardon, nor |
| Tx:31.29 | sick within itself. Learning is all that causes change. And so the | body, where no learning can occur, could never change unless the mind |
| Tx:31.29 | learning can occur, could never change unless the mind preferred the | body change in its appearances to suit the purpose given by the mind. |
| Tx:31.30 | The mind that thinks it is a sin has but one purpose—that the | body be the source of sin and keep it in the prison-house it chose |
| Tx:31.31 | and that it has been given you to change what you believe. The | body will but follow. It can never lead you where you would not be. |
| Tx:31.31 | not guard your sleep nor interfere with your awakening. Release your | body from imprisonment, and you will see no one as prisoner to what |
| Tx:31.62 | in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape the | body as your own reality, for you have chosen that you want it so. |
| Tx:31.63 | Salvation is undoing. If you choose to see the | body, you behold a world of separation, unrelated things, and |
| Tx:31.64 | Salvation does not ask that you behold the Spirit and perceive the | body not. It merely asks that this should be your choice. For you can |
| Tx:31.64 | It merely asks that this should be your choice. For you can see the | body without help but do not understand how to behold a world apart |
| Tx:31.66 | and so it looks on you with eyes that see as yours. Are you a | body? So is all the world perceived as treacherous and out to kill. |
| Tx:31.70 | In terms of concepts, it is thus you see him more than just a | body, for the good is never what the body seems to be. The actions of |
| Tx:31.70 | you see him more than just a body, for the good is never what the | body seems to be. The actions of the body are perceived as coming |
| Tx:31.70 | for the good is never what the body seems to be. The actions of the | body are perceived as coming from the “baser” part of you and thus of |
| Tx:31.70 | you and thus of him as well. By focusing upon the good in him, the | body grows decreasingly persistent in your sight and will at length |
| Tx:31.76 | by love. Yet while you hold this sword, you must perceive the | body as yourself, for you are bound to separation from the sight of |
| Tx:31.83 | wherever it occurs. It would persuade the holy Son of God he is a | body, born in what must die, unable to escape its frailty and bound |

| W1:72.4 | On the contrary, we are exclusively concerned with what he does in a | body. We are doing more than failing to help in freeing him from its |
| W1:72.4 | them as one. Herein is God attacked, for if His Son is only a | body, so must He be as well. A creator wholly unlike his creation is |
| W1:72.5 | If God is a | body, what must His plan for salvation be? What could it be but |

| W1:91.7 | in light. The body's eyes do not perceive the light. But I am not a | body. What am I? |
| W1:91.8 | what you really are must be revealed to you. The belief you are a | body calls for correction, being a mistake. The truth of what you are |
| W1:91.9 | If you are not a | body, what are you? You need to be aware of what the Holy Spirit uses |
| W1:91.9 | to be aware of what the Holy Spirit uses to replace the image of a | body in your mind. You need to feel something to put your faith in, |
| W1:91.9 | need to feel something to put your faith in, as you lift it from the | body. You need a real experience of something else, something more |
| W1:91.10 | If you are not a | body, what are you? Ask this in honesty, and then devote several |
| W1:91.12 | all sense of weakness is associated with the belief that you are a | body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith. Try to remove |
| W1:92.1 | That is because your idea of what seeing means is tied up with the | body and its eyes and brain. This is why you believe that you can |
| W1:92.2 | the many magical beliefs that come from the conviction you are a | body and the body's eyes can see. You also believe the body's brain |
| W1:96.1 | yourself as two—as both good and evil, loving and hating, mind and | body. This sense of being split into opposites induces feelings of |
| W1:96.4 | A mind and | body cannot both exist. Make no attempt to reconcile the two, for one |
| W1:96.4 | in which it could be really part of you. If you are Spirit, then the | body must be meaningless to your reality. |
| W1:96.5 | also see itself divorced from Spirit and perceive itself within a | body it confuses with itself. Without its function then, it has no |
| W1:114.2 | [97] I am Spirit. I am the Son of God. No | body can contain my spirit nor impose on me a limitation God created |
| W1:128.4 | Let nothing which relates to | body thoughts delay your progress to salvation, nor permit temptation |
| W1:135.5 | unable to protect itself, and needing your defense. What but the | body has such frailty that constant care and watchful, deep concern |
| W1:135.5 | deep concern are needful to protect its little life? What but the | body falters and must fail to serve the Son of God as worthy host? |
| W1:135.6 | Yet it is not the | body that can fear, nor be a thing to fear. It has no needs but those |
| W1:135.7 | be at peace with such a concept of your home? Yet what endowed the | body with the right to serve you thus except your own belief? It is |
| W1:135.7 | you thus except your own belief? It is your mind which gave the | body all the functions that you see in it and set its value far |
| W1:135.8 | The | body is in need of no defense. This cannot be too often emphasized. |
| W1:135.9 | The “self” that needs protection is not real. The | body, valueless and hardly worth the least defense, need merely be |
| W1:135.10 | Defend the | body, and you have attacked your mind. For you have seen in it the |
| W1:135.10 | the weaknesses, the limits, and the lacks from which you think the | body must be saved. You will not see the mind as separate from bodily |
| W1:135.10 | as separate from bodily conditions. And you will impose upon the | body all the pain that comes from the conception of the mind as |
| W1:135.11 | These are the thoughts in need of healing, and the | body will respond with health when they have been corrected and |
| W1:135.13 | the problem that the plan is made to solve. It must misuse the | body in its plans until it recognizes this is so. But when it has |
| W1:135.13 | when it has accepted this as true, then is it healed and lets the | body go. |
| W1:135.14 | Enslavement of the | body to the plans the unhealed mind sets up to save itself must make |
| W1:135.14 | to the plans the unhealed mind sets up to save itself must make the | body sick. It is not free to be a means of helping in a plan which |
| W1:136.9 | can succeed in shielding you from truth? Because it proves the | body is not separate from you, and so you must be separate from the |
| W1:136.9 | so you must be separate from the truth. You suffer pain because the | body does, and in this pain are you made one with it. Thus is your |
| W1:136.10 | Thus is the | body stronger than the truth, which asks you live but cannot overcome |
| W1:136.10 | asks you live but cannot overcome your choice to die. And so the | body is more powerful than everlasting life, Heaven more frail than |
| W1:136.18 | be healed of all the sickly wishes that it tried to authorize the | body to obey. |
| W1:136.19 | Now is the | body healed because the source of sickness has been opened to relief. |
| W1:136.19 | to relief. And you will recognize you practiced well by this—the | body should not feel at all. If you have been successful, there will |
| W1:136.19 | of pain or pleasure. No response at all is in the mind to what the | body does. Its usefulness remains and nothing more. |
| W1:136.20 | do not realize that this removes the limits you had placed upon the | body by the purposes you gave to it. As these are laid aside, the |
| W1:136.20 | purposes you gave to it. As these are laid aside, the strength the | body has will always be enough to serve all truly useful purposes. |
| W1:136.21 | misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity which will attack the | body, for the mind is sick. Give instant remedy should this occur by |
| W1:136.22 | I have forgotten what I really am for I mistook my | body for myself. Sickness is a defense against the truth, but I am |
| W1:136.22 | for myself. Sickness is a defense against the truth, but I am not a | body. And my mind cannot attack. So I cannot be sick. |
| W1:137.2 | all the rest to suffer what the others do not feel. It gives the | body final power to make the separation real and keep the mind in |
| W1:137.3 | unity that gives it life. But healing is accomplished as he sees the | body has no power to attack the universal oneness of God's Son. |
| W1:137.6 | more powerful than Christ to those who dream the world is real. The | body seems to be more solid and more stable than the mind. And love |
| W1:137.8 | hand is weakness overcome. And minds which were walled off within a | body free to join with other minds, to be forever strong. |
| W1:140.1 | What the world perceives as therapeutic is but what will make the | body “better.” When it tries to heal the mind, it sees no separation |
| W1:140.1 | When it tries to heal the mind, it sees no separation from the | body, where it thinks the mind exists. Its forms of healing thus must |

| W1:151.12 | your life is not a part of anything you see. It stands beyond the | body and the world, past every witness for unholiness, within the |
| W1:152.5 | includes all shifts in feeling, alterations in conditions of the | body and the mind, in all awareness, and in all response. This is the |
| W1:152.6 | afraid, the suffering and lonely, and the mind that lives within a | body that must die? You but accuse Him of insanity, to think He made |
| W1:157.6 | Your | body will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to bring |
| W1:158.7 | Christ's vision has one law. It does not look upon a | body and mistake it for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light |
| W1:158.7 | it for the Son whom God created. It beholds a light beyond the | body, an idea beyond what can be touched, a purity undimmed by |
| W1:158.8 | this has been perceived. And this you give today—see no one as a | body. Greet him as the Son of God he is, acknowledging that he is one |
| W1:161.5 | It seems to be the | body that we feel limits our freedom, makes us suffer, and at last |
| W1:161.6 | fear's symbols. You have many times been urged to look beyond the | body, for its sight presents the symbol of love's “enemy” Christ's |
| W1:161.6 | the symbol of love's “enemy” Christ's vision does not see. The | body is the target for attack, for no one thinks he hates a mind. Yet |
| W1:161.6 | for 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 |
| W1:161.8 | Who sees a brother as a | body sees him as fear's symbol. And he will attack because what he |
| W1:162.3 | His dreams are happy and his rest secure, his safety certain and his | body healed because he sleeps and wakens with the truth before him |
| W1:163.4 | and laid to rest beneath the headstone death has placed upon the | body of the holy Son of God. |
| W1:167.3 | You think that death is of the | body. Yet it is but an idea, irrelevant to what is seen as physical. |
| W1:167.6 | is all. It cannot change what is its waking state. It cannot make a | body nor abide within a body. What is alien to the mind does not |
| W1:167.6 | what is its waking state. It cannot make a body nor abide within a | body. What is alien to the mind does not exist because it has no |
| W1:182.4 | your childhood home that you would find again. The childhood of your | body and its place of shelter are a memory now so distorted that you |
| W1:184.8 | is beyond your naming. When you call upon a brother, it is to his | body that you make appeal. His true Identity is hidden from you by |
| W1:184.8 | Identity is hidden from you by what you believe he really is. His | body makes response to what you call him, for his mind consents to |
| W1:190.3 | that God is dead, has shown that death is victor over life. The | body is the Son of God, corruptible in death, as mortal as the Father |
| W1:192.5 | Forgiveness lets the | body be perceived as what it is—a simple teaching aid to be laid by |
| W1:192.5 | but hardly changing him who learns at all. The mind without the | body cannot make mistakes. It cannot think that it will die nor be |

| Tx:26.40 | hallucinates but lacks conviction in what he perceives. This is the | borderland between the worlds, the bridge between the past and |

| Tx:7.77 | worth of every Son of God, teaching it with infinite patience | born of the [love of Him for whom] He speaks. Every attack is a call |

| W2:WS.1 | that time will have an end, and all the thoughts that have been | born in time will end as well. God's Word is given every mind which |
| W2:WS.4 | and birds have come to live within their branches. Earth is being | born again in new perception. Night has gone, and we have come |

| W2:WIW.3 | The mechanisms of illusion have been | born instead. And now they go to find what has been given them to |
| W2:WIB.3 | but can quite suddenly revert to fear, where every dream is | born. For only love creates in truth, and truth can never fear. Made |

| W2:303.1 | holy thoughts surround me and be still with me while Heaven's Son is | born. Let earthly sounds be quiet and the sights to which I am |
| W2:303.1 | His Father's Love. Let Him no longer be a stranger here, for He is | born again in me today. |
| W2:306.1 | be restored to love and holiness and peace. Today I am redeemed and | born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and |

| M:27.1 | all illusions stem. Is it not madness to think of life as being | born, aging, losing vitality, and dying in the end? We have asked |

| Tx:16.42 | Him Who gave eternity to you in your creation. On this side of the | bridge to timelessness you understand nothing. But as you step |
| Tx:16.58 | that ever confronted you and also the only one. You will cross the | bridge into reality simply because you will recognize that God is on |
| Tx:16.62 | On this side of the | bridge, you see the world of separate bodies seeking to join each |
| Tx:16.63 | Across the | bridge, it is so different! For a time the body is still seen but not |

| Tx:16.63 | which the body has is to enable you to bring your brothers to the | bridge with you and to be released together there. |
| Tx:16.64 | The | bridge itself is nothing more than a transition in your perspective |

| Tx:28.15 | wills that he be lifted up and gently carried over. He has built the | bridge, and it is He Who will transport His Son across it. Have no |

| Tx:4.90 | gap. Your gratitude to each other is the only gift I want. I will | bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your brother is to know |
| Tx:4.92 | value it. You can only show him how miserable he is without it and | bring it near very slowly, so he can learn how his misery lessens as |

| Tx:5.9 | I could reach up and bring the Holy Spirit down to you, but I can | bring Him to you only at your own invitation. The Holy Spirit is |
| Tx:5.29 | this goal we increase its power to attract the whole Sonship and to | bring it back into the Oneness in which it was created. Remember that |
| Tx:6.20 | guilty, they never could have quoted me as saying, “I come not to | bring peace but a sword.” This is clearly the exact opposite of |
| Tx:6.54 | wrong. This would demonstrate that the perfect were inadequate to | bring themselves to the awareness of their perfection and thus side |
| Tx:7.95 | because the Holy Spirit, Who is in your mind, knows of them and can | bring them into your awareness whenever you will let Him. They are |
| Tx:8.15 | its own acknowledgment of what it is. When you acknowledge this, you | bring the acknowledgment automatically to everyone, because you have |
| Tx:8.39 | I know He gave me] this confidence for both of us and all of us. I | bring God's peace back to all His Children, because I received it of |
| Tx:8.57 | first. Do not see him this way for your own salvation, which must | bring him his. Do not allow him to belittle himself in your mind, but |
| Tx:8.81 | do so little, because it is so powerful that your little part will | bring the whole to you. Accept then your little part, and let the |
| Tx:9.28 | heal; he lets healing be. He can point to darkness, but he cannot | bring light of himself, for light is not of him. Yet, being for him, |
| Tx:9.55 | obscure nor hidden, but its obviousness to you lies in the joy you | bring to its witnesses, who show it to you. They attest to your |
| Tx:9.81 | I do not | bring God's message with deception, and you will learn this as you |
| Tx:9.89 | because what He did not intend does not happen. Your gods do not | bring chaos; you are endowing them with chaos and accepting it of |
| Tx:9.94 | of joy to them, or you cannot see the spark in them that could | bring joy to you. It is the denial of the spark that brings |
| Tx:9.101 | pain, and wholly without suffering of any kind. If you deny Him, you | bring sin, pain, and suffering into your own mind because of the |
| Tx:10.3 | way. Yet even the little spark in your mind is enough to lighten it. | Bring this light fearlessly with you and hold it up to the foundation |
| Tx:10.3 | honesty. Open the dark cornerstone of terror on which it rests and | bring it out into the light. There you will see that it rests on |
| Tx:10.5 | You have learned your need of healing. Would you | bring anything else to the Sonship, recognizing your need of healing |
| Tx:10.10 | To give without limit is God's Will for you because only this can | bring you the joy which is His and which He wills to share with you. |
| Tx:10.33 | do so if you realized that you can only darken your own mind. As you | bring him back, so will your mind return. That is the law of God for |
| Tx:10.68 | God's Son is saved. | Bring only this awareness to the Sonship, and you will have a part in |
| Tx:11.35 | the world. Yet Christ has placed the Atonement on the altar for you. | Bring your perceptions of the world to this altar, for it is the |
| Tx:11.71 | creations. Coming only from God, its power and grandeur could only | bring you peace if you really looked upon it. If you are afraid, it |
| Tx:12.9 | this is not so. Your “guilty secret” is nothing, and if you will but | bring it to the light, the light will dispel it. And then no dark |
| Tx:12.17 | and His remedy is quick. Do not hide suffering from His sight, but | bring it gladly to Him. Lay before His eternal sanity all your hurt, |
| Tx:12.28 | escape. For they are not real and have no hold over you unless you | bring them with you. They carry the spots of pain in your minds, |
| Tx:12.46 | you are afraid of light. And only if you are would you choose to | bring this darkness with you, and by holding it in your minds, see it |
| Tx:12.49 | holds. Judgment and condemnation are behind you, and unless you | bring them with you, you will see that you are free of them. |

| Tx:13.59 | seem to bind them unto despair they do not see as nothing until you | bring the light to them. And then they see the chains have |

| Tx:13.81 | you take unto yourself the sole responsibility for deciding what can | bring only good to everyone? Would you know this? |
| Tx:13.92 | consider whether this is not more restful than sleep. For you can | bring your guilt into sleeping but not into this. |
| Tx:14.8 | every thought that would steal it away and keep it from his sight. | Bring innocence to light in answer to the call of the Atonement. |

| Tx:14.15 | outside, judging him fit for crucifixion or for redemption. If you | bring him into the circle of purity, you will rest there with him. If |
| Tx:14.15 | Refuse to accept anyone as without the blessing of Atonement, and | bring him into it by blessing him. Holiness must be shared, for |
| Tx:14.23 | from His sight, for He will not attack your sentinels. But | bring them to Him, and let His gentleness teach you that in the light |
| Tx:14.28 | sight, for each in a separate place can be endowed with firm belief. | Bring them together, and the fact of their complete incompatibility |
| Tx:14.30 | The Holy Spirit asks of you but this— | bring to Him every secret you have locked away from Him. Open every |
| Tx:14.30 | see. The vision of Christ is not for Him alone but for Him with you. | Bring, therefore, all your dark and secret thoughts to Him and look |
| Tx:14.31 | with you. The single vision which the Holy Spirit offers you will | bring this oneness to your mind with clarity and brightness so |
| Tx:14.39 | Bringing the ego to God is but to | bring error to truth, where it stands corrected because it is the |
| Tx:14.44 | the power of healing that the reflection of God, shining in you, can | bring to all the world, you could not wait to make the mirror of your |
| Tx:14.44 | upon it is not obscure, for everyone perceives it as the same. All | bring their different problems to its healing light, but all their |
| Tx:14.46 | which you accept into the mirror of your minds in time but | bring eternity nearer or farther. But eternity itself is beyond all |
| Tx:14.46 | to lay all guilt aside. Reflect the peace of Heaven here and | bring this world to Heaven. For the reflection of truth draws |
| Tx:14.50 | which you establish. Yet the very fact that you can do this and | bring any order into chaos shows you that you are not an ego and that |
| Tx:14.55 | with you in seeking it. If you undertake the search together, you | bring with you a light so powerful that what you see is given |
| Tx:14.62 | open to receive, not closed to take. Every dark lesson that you | bring to Him Who teaches light He will accept from you because you do |
| Tx:14.67 | himself. The miracle brings the effects which only guiltlessness can | bring and thus establishes the fact that guiltlessness must be. |
| Tx:15.2 | not waste Him as it does you.] And all the waste that time seems to | bring with it is due but to your identification with the ego, which |
| Tx:15.7 | way in which the ego allows the fear of hell to be experienced is to | bring hell here, but always as a foretaste of the future. For no one |
| Tx:15.22 | you strive for anything in this world with the belief that it will | bring you peace, you are belittling yourself and blinding yourself to |
| Tx:15.27 | with Him. Every decision you make is for Heaven or for hell and will | bring you awareness of what you decided for. The Holy Spirit can hold |
| Tx:15.35 | stands in shimmering readiness for your acceptance. Yet you cannot | bring it into glad awareness while you do not want it, for it holds |
| Tx:15.36 | by so much is it far from you. By so much as you want it will you | bring it nearer. Think not that you can find salvation in your own |
| Tx:15.36 | for God's. His will content you, and there is nothing else that can | bring you peace. For peace is of God and of no one beside Him. |
| Tx:15.44 | keep unto yourself. Let the Holy Spirit's purity shine them away and | bring all your awareness to the readiness for purity He offers you. |
| Tx:15.46 | We said before that to limit love to part of the Sonship is to | bring guilt into your relationships and thus make them unreal. If you |
| Tx:15.52 | and although this is not so in Heaven, the Holy Spirit knows how to | bring a touch of Heaven to them here. In the holy instant no one is |
| Tx:15.54 | told to offer miracles as Christ directs and let the Holy Spirit | bring to you those who are seeking you. Yet in the holy instant, you |
| Tx:15.67 | at what it is and have judged it completely in the dark. As we | bring it to light, your only question will be why it was you ever |
| Tx:16.6 | but this. This is not knowledge, and the form of empathy that would | bring this about is so distorted that it would imprison what it would |
| Tx:16.6 | the Teacher. Do not confuse your role with His, for this will never | bring peace to anyone. Offer your empathy to Him, for it is His |
| Tx:16.16 | upon is with you. Bid Him welcome and honor His witnesses, who | bring you the glad tidings He has come. It is true, just as you fear, |
| Tx:16.21 | with what you taught before He came. And the results have been to | bring peace where there was pain, and suffering has disappeared, to |
| Tx:16.30 | merely drive it underground and out of sight. It is essential to | bring it into sight and to make no attempt to hide it. For it is the |
| Tx:16.36 | from illusion: The special love relationship is an attempt [to | bring love into separation. And, as such, it is nothing more than an |
| Tx:16.36 | separation. And, as such, it is nothing more than an attempt] to | bring love into fear and make it real in fear. In fundamental |
| Tx:16.55 | that you have set up in which the dance of death delights you can | bring death to the eternal. Nor can your chosen substitute for the |
| Tx:16.63 | realize that the only value which the body has is to enable you to | bring your brothers to the bridge with you and to be released |
| Tx:16.76 | For a time you may attempt to | bring illusions into the holy instant to hinder your full awareness |
| Tx:16.76 | Holy Spirit will prevail because you joined Him. The illusions you | bring with you will weaken the experience of Him for a while and will |
| Tx:16.78 | them illusions. In the holy instant, this is done for you in time to | bring to you the true condition of Heaven. |
| Tx:17.5 | Think you that you can | bring truth to fantasy and learn what truth means from the |
| Tx:17.5 | frame of reference for its meaning must be itself. When you try to | bring truth to illusions, you are trying to make illusions real and |
| Tx:17.7 | ever brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will | bring you. For you will see the Son of God. You will behold the |
| Tx:17.14 | God for what he did not do. The shadow figures are the witnesses you | bring with you to demonstrate he did what he did not. Because you |
| Tx:17.15 | They represent the evil that you think was done to you. You | bring them with you only that you may return evil for evil, hoping |
| Tx:17.19 | with fantasies in uninterrupted “bliss.” How can the Holy Spirit | bring His interpretation of the body as a means of communication into |
| Tx:17.26 | fantasies. Let my relationship to you be real to you, and let me | bring reality to your perception of your brothers. They were not |
| Tx:17.26 | are cherished have excluded me. Let me enter in the Name of God and | bring you peace that you may offer peace to me. |
| Tx:17.33 | defend is placed in them for safekeeping, and as they operate, they | bring it to you. Every defense operates by giving gifts, and the gift |
| Tx:17.49 | will go, and you will see the justification for your faith emerge to | bring you shining conviction. Abandon Him not now, nor each other. |
| Tx:17.59 | you have no idea what should happen. No goal was set with which to | bring the means in line. And now the only judgment left to make is |
| Tx:17.63 | you lose the understanding of the situation the goal of truth would | bring. For fantasy solutions bring but the illusion of experience, |
| Tx:17.63 | the situation the goal of truth would bring. For fantasy solutions | bring but the illusion of experience, and the illusion of peace is |
| Tx:17.75 | do not interrupt its coming. Let it encompass every situation and | bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks |
| Tx:18.9 | to which the Holy Spirit has committed your relationship. Let Him | bring it here, where you would have it be. Give Him but a little |
| Tx:18.24 | dream has led to other dreams, and every fantasy which seemed to | bring a light into the darkness but made the darkness deeper. Your |
| Tx:18.29 | to the Son of God, who hid in darkness. You have been willing to | bring the darkness to light, and this willingness has given strength |
| Tx:18.38 | made 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 |
| Tx:18.44 | accepted the Holy Spirit's purpose as your own, and you would merely | bring unholy means to its accomplishment. The little faith it needed |
| Tx:18.78 | your little kingdom. And realize the life and joy which love would | bring to it from where it comes and where it would return with you. |
| Tx:18.79 | love for them where once a desert was. And everyone you welcome will | bring love with him from Heaven for you. They enter one by one into |
| Tx:18.80 | Go out and find them, for they | bring your Self with them. And lead them gently to your quiet garden |
| Tx:18.84 | You have been told to | bring the darkness to the light and guilt to holiness. And you have |
| Tx:18.86 | pronouncing it as true. For you sent forth these messengers to | bring this back to you. |
| Tx:18.87 | unaware of it; its tongue cannot relay its messages. Yet God can | bring you there if you are willing to follow the Holy Spirit through |
| Tx:18.88 | enough to hold its most external manifestations in darkness and to | bring despair and loneliness to it and keep it joyless. Yet its |
| Tx:18.91 | however long you play it, and regardless of how much imagination you | bring to it, you do not confuse it with the world below, nor seek to |
| Tx:19.30 | of changed perception which its teacher, who is one with it, would | bring. |
| Tx:19.37 | of the Holy Spirit's purpose from your relationship to others to | bring them gently in [has already begun. This is the way in which He |
| Tx:19.37 | them gently in [has already begun. This is the way in which He will | bring means and goal in line. The peace He laid deep within both of |
| Tx:19.40 | it must begin with you and from you reach to everyone who calls and | bring him rest by joining you. |
| Tx:19.41 | go for yourselves alone. Christ asks it of you for Himself. He would | bring peace to everyone, and how can He do this except through you? |
| Tx:19.52 | the world to feast upon it and to prey upon reality. For they will | bring you word of bones and skin and flesh. They have been taught to |
| Tx:19.57 | that it can give you pleasure, you will also believe that it can | bring you pain. |
| Tx:19.62 | the body's pleasure; it has no hope of pleasure. But neither can it | bring you fear of pain. Pain is the only “sacrifice” the Holy Spirit |
| Tx:19.67 | joined already, will be the focus of the new perception that will | bring light to all the world, contained in you. |
| Tx:19.69 | what already is at peace in you, immortal as itself. The body can | bring you neither peace nor turmoil; neither pain nor joy. It is a |
| Tx:20.58 | how these must be brought in line before your holy relationship can | bring you only joy. But we have also said the means to meet the Holy |
| Tx:21.5 | question is whether the means by which this course is learned will | bring to you the joy it promises. If you believed it would, the |
| Tx:21.65 | which is one with you, in just an instant. And any instant serves to | bring complete correction of his errors and make him whole. The |

| Tx:22.41 | How beautiful the sight you saw beyond the veil which you will | bring to light the tired eyes of those as weary now as once you were. |
| Tx:22.55 | are you who let this gift be given! Each part of Heaven that you | bring is given you. And every empty place in Heaven that you fill |
| Tx:22.55 | empty place in Heaven that you fill again with the Eternal Light you | bring shines now on you. The means of sinlessness can know no fear |
| Tx:22.56 | Children of peace, the light has come to you. The light you | bring you do not recognize, and yet you will remember. Who can deny |
| Tx:22.56 | You who are now His means must love all that He loves. And what you | bring is your remembrance of everything that is eternal. No trace of |
| Tx:23.38 | in their witnessing or their results. Certain it is illusions will | bring fear because of the beliefs that they imply, not for their |
| Tx:24.13 | from limits? You have a function in salvation. Its pursuit will | bring you joy. But the pursuit of specialness must bring you pain. |
| Tx:24.13 | Its pursuit will bring you joy. But the pursuit of specialness must | bring you pain. Here is a goal that would defeat salvation and thus |
| Tx:24.25 | and the awareness that your plan has failed and will forever fail to | bring you peace and joy of any kind? Through this despair you travel |
| Tx:25.14 | what has always failed on grounds that it will suddenly succeed and | bring what it has never brought before? |
| Tx:25.28 | And he will reinterpret all temptation as just another chance to | bring him joy. How can a misperception be a sin? Let all your |
| Tx:25.32 | their purpose to behold it and rejoice. Everyone seeks for what will | bring him joy as he defines it. It is not the aim as such that |
| Tx:25.32 | is changed. And then the means are chosen once again, as what will | bring rejoicing is defined another way and sought for differently. |
| Tx:25.33 | see it to rejoice.” And while you think that suffering and sin will | bring you joy, so long will they be there for you to see. Nothing is |
| Tx:25.33 | joy. Even in Heaven does this law obtain. The Son of God creates to | bring him joy, sharing his Father's purpose in his own creation that |
| Tx:25.34 | rest and comfort in another world where peace abides. This world you | bring with you to all the weary eyes and tired hearts that look on |
| Tx:25.34 | wish to hurt and kill and die will disappear before the sun you | bring. |
| Tx:25.36 | Nothing beyond nor nearer. Nothing else. In any form. This can you | bring to all the world and all the thoughts that entered it and were |
| Tx:25.36 | your own mistakes be brought to truth than by your willingness to | bring the light of Heaven with you as you walk beyond the world of |
| Tx:25.82 | vengeance. Problem solving cannot be vengeance, which at best can | bring another problem added to the first, in which the murder is not |
| Tx:26.11 | now has been corrected. One mistake is not more difficult for Him to | bring to truth than is another. For there is but one mistake—the |
| Tx:26.18 | an opposite. And how could strife enter in its simple presence and | bring complexity where oneness is? The truth makes no decisions, for |
| Tx:26.53 | is but deceived. Forgiveness is the only function here and serves to | bring the joy this world denies to every aspect of God's Son where |
| Tx:27.39 | are true? Which ones establish peace and offer joy? And which can | bring escape from all the pain of which this world is made?” Whatever |
| Tx:27.43 | no problems in a world from which the answer has been barred. But | bring the problem to the only place which holds the answer lovingly |
| Tx:27.43 | though they leave the first unanswered. In the holy instant, you can | bring the question to the answer and receive the answer that was made |
| Tx:27.46 | that war has no effects. For all the hurt that war has sought to | bring, the broken bodies, and the shattered limbs, the screaming |
| Tx:27.47 | because he was afraid of being healed? The eyes of all the dying | bring reproach, and suffering whispers, “What is there to fear?” |
| Tx:27.48 | behind on your returning to the world. And being blessed, you will | bring blessing. Life is given you to give the dying world. And |
| Tx:27.51 | for learning does not jump from situations to their opposites and | bring the same results. All healing must proceed in lawful manner in |
| Tx:27.85 | your error, who have overlooked the cause entirely? He bids you | bring each terrible effect to Him that you may look together on its |
| Tx:27.87 | of the form of suffering that brings you pain. Whatever hurt you | bring to Him He will make answer with this very simple truth. For |
| Tx:27.89 | Bring, then, all forms of suffering to Him Who knows that every one | |
| Tx:28.7 | will surprise you with their loveliness. The ancient new ideas they | bring will be the happy consequences of a cause so ancient that it |
| Tx:28.35 | that you never sinned. The miracle would leave no proof of guilt to | bring you witness to what never was. And in your storehouse it will |
| Tx:29.2 | fearful—hate is love. This is the consequence the little gap must | bring to those who cherish it and think that it is their salvation |
| Tx:29.30 | obscure to you. Do not ascribe a role to him which you imagine would | bring happiness to you. And do not try to hurt him when he fails to |
| Tx:29.44 | or some dream that there is something outside of himself that will | bring happiness and peace to him. If everything is in him, this |
| Tx:29.46 | which 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 |
| Tx:29.70 | dreams are kind to everyone who figures in the dream. And so they | bring the dreamer full release from dreams of fear. He does not fear |
| Tx:30.38 | are limits. They are the belief that there are forms which will | bring happiness and that, by limiting, is all attained. It is as if |
| Tx:30.53 | Dwell not on them in any form. They but obscure reality, and they | bring fear because they hide the truth. Do not attack what you have |
| Tx:30.65 | never wanted it. What happiness have you sought here that did not | bring you pain? What moment of content has not been bought at fearful |
| Tx:31.27 | What could the outcome be that you would want? And how could murder | bring you benefit? |
| Tx:31.73 | the changes that it needs to let it serve the function given you to | bring you peace that you may offer peace to have it yours. |
| Tx:31.93 | in exchange I lay before your feet the peace of God and power to | bring this peace to everyone who wanders in the world uncertain, |
| Tx:31.93 | it is but a step from there to Heaven. To your tired eyes I | bring a vision of a different world, so new and clean and fresh you |
| W1:27.1 | it. This does not matter. The purpose of today's exercises is to | bring the time when the idea will be wholly true a little nearer. |
| W1:41.7 | way will open if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can | bring very startling results even the first time it is attempted. And |
| W1:R1.5 | The purpose of your learning is to enable you to | bring the quiet with you and to heal distress and turmoil. This is |
| W1:60.2 | my innocence. It is the reflection of God's Love on earth. It will | bring me near enough to Heaven that the Love of God can reach down to |
| W1:62.1 | It is your forgiveness that will | bring the world of darkness to the light. It is your forgiveness that |
| W1:62.7 | to considering your function and the happiness and release it will | bring you. |
| W1:63.1 | How holy are you who have the power to | bring peace to every mind! How blessed are you who can learn to |
| W1:63.1 | this be done through you! What purpose could you have that would | bring you greater happiness? |
| W1:65.11 | to focus on its importance to you, the relief its acceptance will | bring you by resolving your conflicts once and for all, and the |
| W1:66.11 | under the ego's guidance. Did you find it? Were you happy? Did they | bring you peace? |
| W1:67.6 | as Love created you. Be confident that you will do much today to | bring that awareness nearer, whether you feel you have succeeded or |
| W1:71.6 | which are diametrically opposed in all ways. The result can only | bring confusion, misery, and a deep sense of failure and despair. |

| W1:92.6 | all may see and benefit as one. Its strength is shared that it may | bring to all the miracle in which they will unite in purpose and |
| W1:93.17 | do much for the world's salvation today. You can do much today to | bring you closer to accepting the part in salvation which God has |
| W1:93.17 | which God has assigned to you. And you can do much today to | bring the conviction to your mind that the idea for the day is true |
| 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 |
| W1:96.7 | can. Yet would you have God's plan for the release of His dear Son | bring pain to him and fail to set him free? |
| W1:97.1 | truth. Practice this truth today as often as you can, for it will | bring your mind from conflict to the quiet fields of peace. No chill |
| W1:97.3 | Today we try to | bring reality still closer to your mind. Each time you practice, |
| W1:97.6 | not overlook one open mind that will accept the healing gift they | bring, and He will lay them everywhere He knows they will be welcome. |

| W1:103.3 | This basic error we will try again to | bring to truth today and teach ourselves: |
| W1:104.8 | come to seek for them where He has laid them. This reminder will we | bring to mind as often as we can: |
| W1:107.14 | And yet you will be glad to look again upon this world. For you will | bring with you the promise of the changes which the truth that goes |
| W1:108.5 | all correction or that to forgive one brother wholly is enough to | bring salvation to all minds. For these are but some special cases of |
| W1:109.2 | “I rest in God.” This thought will | bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety |
| W1:109.7 | born again each time you rest, and hourly remember that you came to | bring the peace of God into the world that it might take its rest |
| W1:110.2 | to learn escape from time and every change that time appears to | bring in passing by. |
| W1:R3.13 | Forget them not. This second chance with each of these ideas will | bring such large advances that we come from these reviews with |

| W1:156.4 | that the world is sanctified because of you. All things that live | bring gifts to you and offer them in gratitude and gladness at your |
| W1:157.6 | Your body will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to | bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the world. |
| W1:157.7 | Heaven in its ways, a little nearer its deliverance. And you who | bring it light will come to see the light more sure, the vision more |
| W1:161.4 | do these thoughts make clear the meaning of creation? Do these words | bring perfect clarity with them to you? What can they seem to be but |
| W1:164.4 | this today you will remember. Faithfulness in practicing today will | bring rewards so great and so completely different from all things |
| W1:170.14 | our choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We | bring them Your salvation as we have received it now. And we give |
| W1:R5.3 | So do we | bring our practicing to You. And if we stumble, You will raise us up. |

| W1:184.13 | what you see but have not interfered with truth at all. One Name we | bring into our practicing. One Name we use to unify our sight. |
| W1:185.4 | Yet compromise alone a dream can | bring. Sometimes it takes the form of union, but only the form. The |
| W1:185.5 | words who wants illusions and who therefore seeks the means which | bring illusions. He has looked on them and found them wanting. Now he |
| W1:185.5 | he has learned their only difference is one of form, for one will | bring the same despair and misery as do the rest. |
| W1:185.8 | your requests. Consider but what you believe will comfort you and | bring you happiness. But be you not dismayed by lingering illusions, |
| W1:188.1 | and stayed with you because it is your own. It is the only thing you | bring with you from Him Who is your Source. It shines in you because |
| W1:188.8 | to the light in us today. We take our wandering thoughts and gently | bring them back to where they fall in line with all the thoughts we |
| W1:189.7 | and all the ideas of which it is ashamed. Hold onto nothing. Do not | bring with you one thought the past has taught nor one belief you |
| W1:190.5 | any way. There is no cause beyond yourself that can reach down and | bring oppression. No one but yourself affects you. There is nothing |
| W1:190.7 | you will. Your idle wishes represent its pains. Your strange desires | bring it evil dreams. Your thoughts of death envelop it in fear, |
| W1:191.2 | within you and without, no breath you draw that does not seem to | bring you nearer death, no hope you hold but will dissolve in tears. |
| W1:191.12 | the world, and see the suffering there. Is not your heart willing to | bring your weary brothers rest? |
| W1:194.7 | loving hands of God? What can he suffer? What can cause him pain or | bring experience of loss to him? What can he fear? And what can he |
| W1:195.3 | Now is vengeance all there is to wish for. Now can you but try to | bring him down to lie in death with you, as useless as yourself, as |
| W1:196.7 | accomplished, you cannot perceive that it is but your thoughts that | bring you fear and your deliverance depends on you. |
| W2:237.1 | allow the light in me to shine upon the world throughout the day. I | bring the world the tidings of salvation that I hear as God my Father |

| W2:254.2 | at them, and then we let them go. We do not want what they would | bring with them. And so we do not choose to keep them. They are |
| W2:272.1 | Heaven by Your will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions | bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I will |
| W2:275.2 | thoughts to think, what words to give the world. The safety that I | bring is given me. Father, Your Voice protects all things through me. |
| W2:281.1 | who he is, and that he is as You created him. Your Thoughts can only | bring me happiness. If ever I am sad or hurt or ill, I have forgotten |
| W2:307.1 | for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your will alone can | bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would have what only |
| W2:334.2 | his bewildered mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and | bring him peace? Today I would behold my brother sinless. This Your |
| W2:339.1 | when he receives it? He has asked for what will frighten him and | bring him suffering. Let us resolve today to ask for what we really |
| W2:340.1 | I thank You for today and for the freedom I am certain it will | bring. This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. His |
| W2:WIM.4 | of what it cannot see and does not understand. Yet faith will | bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really there. |
| W2:WAI.5 | about the aim for which we came and which we seek to serve. We | bring glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought he suffered. Now is |
| M:1.4 | an ending, and it is this that the teachers of God are appointed to | bring about. For time is in their hands. Such was their choice, and |
| M:4.21 | in the curriculum. Does he still select some aspects of his life to | bring to his learning while keeping others apart? If so, his |
| M:4.25 | belongs on the curriculum. It is the function of God's teachers to | bring true learning to the world. Properly speaking it is unlearning |
| M:4.25 | learning to the world. Properly speaking it is unlearning that they | bring, for that is “true learning” in the world. It is given to the |
| M:4.25 | “true learning” in the world. It is given to the teachers of God to | bring the glad tidings of complete forgiveness to the world. Blessed |
| M:5.5 | to him, yet they but give form to his own choice. He chooses them to | bring tangible form to his desires. And it is this they do, and |
| M:8.2 | it for itself. Illusions are travesties of creation, attempts to | bring truth to lies. Finding truth unacceptable, the mind revolts |
| M:8.3 | see except through differences. Yet it is not the messages they | bring on which perception rests. Only the mind evaluates their |
| M:8.4 | correction must be made. The mind classifies what the body's eyes | bring to it according to its preconceived values, judging where each |
| M:10.6 | choice, have fallen from him. Teacher of God, this step will | bring you peace. Can it be difficult to want but this? |
| M:12.1 | upon God's Judgment, not His own. Thus does He share God's Will and | bring His Thoughts to still deluded minds. He is forever One, because |
| M:12.5 | it is weak, and being weak, it suffers and it dies. Use it to | bring the Word of God to those who have it not, and the body becomes |
| M:15.3 | you will go beyond belief to certainty. One instant out of time can | bring time's end. Judge not, for you but judge yourself and thus |
| M:16.9 | advanced state. All intermediate lessons will but lead to this and | bring this goal nearer to recognition. For magic of any kind, in all |
| M:17.8 | Into this hopeless situation God sends His teachers. They | bring the light of hope from God Himself. There is a way in which |
| M:18.2 | God created. Now He can speak the Word of God to listening ears and | bring Christ's vision to the eyes that see. Now is He free to teach |
| M:21.3 | The prayer for things of this world will | bring experiences of this world. If the prayer of the heart asks for |
| M:29.4 | the Teacher Who knows the truth has not forgotten it. His decisions | bring benefit to all, being wholly devoid of attack. And therefore |
| M:29.8 | He offers you, and all the world stands silent in the grace you | bring from Him. You are the Son He loves, and it is given you to be |

| Tx:14.27 | You must have noticed that the emphasis has been on | bringing what is undesirable to the desirable; what you do not want |

| Tx:14.39 | Bringing the ego to God is but to bring error to truth, where it | |

| Tx:3.35 | you are really confusing perception and cognition. Knowledge | brings the mental strength for creative thinking but not for right |
| Tx:4.86 | you can make. No one who has learned from experience that one choice | brings peace and joy while another brings chaos and disaster needs |

| Tx:6.88 | must learn. The way to learn it is inherent in the third step, which | brings together the lessons implied in the others and goes beyond |
| Tx:7.36 | with His. The strength of right perception is so great that it | brings the mind into accord with His, because it yields to His pull |
| Tx:7.60 | it cannot be understood. We have already said that understanding | brings appreciation, and appreciation brings love. Nothing else can |
| Tx:7.60 | said that understanding brings appreciation, and appreciation | brings love. Nothing else can be understood, because nothing else is |
| Tx:8.93 | therefore He is your reality. If, then, His perception of your mind | brings its reality to you, He is teaching you what you are. |
| Tx:9.69 | Yet to give up the dissociation of reality | brings more than merely lack of fear. In this decision lie joy and |
| Tx:9.76 | suffer, because it cannot attack. The remembrance of love therefore | brings invulnerability with it. |
| Tx:9.94 | them that could bring joy to you. It is the denial of the spark that | brings depression, and whenever you see your brothers without it, you |
| Tx:10.16 | Every attack is a step away from this, and every healing thought | brings it closer. The Son of God has both Father and Son because he |
| Tx:11.8 | will be truly yours. Every appeal you answer in the name of Christ | brings the remembrance of your Father closer to your awareness. For |
| Tx:11.94 | as guiltless can you understand his oneness. For the idea of guilt | brings a belief in condemnation of one by another, projecting |
| Tx:12.26 | the present only as a brief transition to the future, in which it | brings the past to the future by interpreting the present in past |
| Tx:12.54 | given light to them, they will return it. Everyone you see in light | brings your light closer to your own awareness. Love always leads to |
| Tx:13.5 | same light and therefore one. Everyone seen without the past thus | brings you nearer to the end of time by bringing healed and healing |
| Tx:13.14 | Atonement | brings a re-evaluation of everything you cherish, for it is the means |
| Tx:13.59 | Holy Spirit did not make truth. Like God, He knows it to be true. He | brings the light of truth into the darkness and lets it shine on you. |
| Tx:13.59 | you see. They will be happy learners of the lesson which this light | brings to them because it teaches them release from nothing and from |
| Tx:14.30 | darkness and lighten it away. At your request He enters gladly. He | brings the light to darkness if you make the darkness open to Him. |
| Tx:14.38 | The Atonement does not make holy. You were created holy. It merely | brings unholiness to holiness, or what you made to what you are. The |
| Tx:14.47 | has a unique function and is motivated by a unique Teacher, Who | brings the laws of another world to this one. The miracle is the one |
| Tx:14.67 | Son as he always was and not as he would make himself. The miracle | brings the effects which only guiltlessness can bring and thus |
| Tx:14.72 | and understanding go together and never can be found alone. Each | brings the other with it, for it is the law of God they be not |
| Tx:15.29 | your little world but still in you, He extends forever. Yet He | brings all his extensions to you as host to Him. |
| Tx:15.74 | forms, but it cannot long deceive those who will learn that love | brings no guilt at all, and what brings guilt cannot be love and must |
| Tx:15.74 | those who will learn that love brings no guilt at all, and what | brings guilt cannot be love and must be anger. All anger is nothing |
| Tx:15.104 | must learn that sacrifice is separation from love. For sacrifice | brings guilt as surely as love brings peace. Guilt is the condition |
| Tx:15.104 | separation from love. For sacrifice brings guilt as surely as love | brings peace. Guilt is the condition of sacrifice, as peace is the |
| Tx:16.72 | which offended it and seeks retribution of you. The fantasies it | brings to the special relationships it chooses in which to act out |
| Tx:17.11 | reasons for your making it. In the light of the real reason which He | brings, as you follow Him, He will show you that there is no reason |
| Tx:17.19 | not enter at all to “spoil” the dream. And the less the other really | brings to it, the “better” it becomes. Thus, the attempt at union |
| Tx:17.61 | of the ego's way of looking, for the ego believes the situation | brings the experience. The Holy Spirit knows that the situation is as |
| Tx:18.8 | yourself, leading you gently back to the truth and safety within. He | brings all your insane projections and your wild substitutions which |
| Tx:18.33 | in arrogance, assuming that you must achieve the state its coming | brings with it. The miracle of the holy instant lies in your |
| Tx:19.14 | faith cannot forgive. No error interferes with its calm sight, which | brings the miracle of healing with equal ease to all of them. For |
| Tx:19.15 | ground for the most holy garden which He would make of it. For faith | brings peace, and so it calls on truth to enter and make lovely what |
| Tx:19.26 | fear, is really called upon by sin and always answers. For the ego | brings sin to fear, demanding punishment. Yet punishment is but |
| Tx:19.82 | insane idea with His own, an Answer which left Him not and therefore | brings the Creator to the awareness of every mind which heard His |
| Tx:20.13 | and look on him with the new vision that looks upon the lilies and | brings you joy. We go beyond the veil of fear, lighting each other's |
| Tx:20.71 | when looked upon with vision. For this is not your sight, and | brings with it the laws beloved of Him Whose sight it is. |
| Tx:21.30 | but always with faith and with the persistence that faith inevitably | brings. The power of faith is never recognized if it is placed in |
| Tx:21.37 | is accomplished. Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice | brings nothing. He makes no bargains. And if you seek to limit Him, |
| Tx:21.47 | The song of freedom, which sings the praises of another world, | brings to it hope of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now it sees |
| Tx:21.66 | you want, and all you want. Listen to Him Who speaks with reason and | brings your reason into line with His. Be willing to let reason be |
| Tx:22.16 | though each one seems to be the way to lose the misery the other | brings. Every illusion carries pain and suffering in the dark folds |
| Tx:22.31 | Reason is not salvation in itself, but it makes way for peace and | brings you to a state of mind in which salvation can be given you. |
| Tx:22.56 | and yet you will remember. Who can deny himself the vision that he | brings to others? And who would fail to recognize a gift he let be |
| Tx:22.64 | From loving minds there is no separation. And every thought in one | brings gladness to the other because they are the same. Joy is |
| Tx:24.18 | one meaning. And it is one you both can understand, and one which | brings release to both of you. Here stands your brother with the key |
| Tx:25.29 | as the same, your choice is made. For it is seeing them as one that | brings release from the belief there are two ways to see. This world |
| Tx:25.44 | at twilight. And they turn away from sunlight and the clarity it | brings to what they look upon. Dimness seems better—easier to see |
| Tx:25.44 | see? The wish to see calls down the grace of God upon your eyes and | brings the gift of light that makes sight possible. |
| Tx:25.63 | it than that you keep it for yourself alone and recognize that what | brings loss to no one you would not know. This much is necessary to |
| Tx:25.72 | 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 richer made |
| Tx:25.77 | Son. This is the only justice Heaven knows, and all the Holy Spirit | brings to earth. Your special function shows you nothing else but |
| Tx:26.28 | Forgiveness | brings no little miracles to lay before the gate of Heaven. Here the |
| Tx:26.28 | Heaven. Here the Son of God Himself comes to receive each gift that | brings him nearer to his home. Not one is lost, and none is cherished |
| Tx:26.46 | your Friend. And it is He who is your only Friend in truth. He | brings you gifts that are not of this world, and only He to whom they |
| Tx:26.73 | not come, although already there? You have been told that everything | brings good that comes from God. And yet it seems as if this is not |
| Tx:27.4 | The power of witness is beyond belief because it | brings conviction in its wake. The witness is believed because he |
| Tx:27.16 | Forgiveness is not real unless it | brings a healing to your brother and yourself. You must attest his |
| Tx:27.47 | apart from you when you accept the blessing that the holy instant | brings? Be not afraid of blessing, for the One Who blesses you loves |
| Tx:27.57 | a witness to your life in Him Who knows no death. Each miracle He | brings is witness that the body is not real. Its pains and pleasures |
| Tx:27.58 | which you called your suffering. It is no longer there. The One Who | brings the miracle perceived them all as one and called by name of |
| Tx:27.58 | It is a witness no one can deny, for it is the effects of life it | brings. The dying live, the dead arise, and pain has vanished. Yet a |
| Tx:27.74 | the place of those you dreamed in terror and in fear of death. He | brings forgiving dreams in which the choice is not who is the |
| Tx:27.74 | who is the murderer and who shall be the victim. In the dreams He | brings, there is no murder and there is no death. The dream of guilt |
| Tx:27.83 | which dreams your dreams and thinks your thoughts instead of you. It | brings its vengeance, not your own. It keeps you narrowly confined |
| Tx:27.87 | until it has been learned, regardless of the form of suffering that | brings you pain. Whatever hurt you bring to Him He will make answer |
| Tx:28.56 | punish you and thus deserve your hatred for the limitations which it | brings to you. Yet you have made of it a symbol for the limitations |
| Tx:29.14 | else His gifts of peace and joy and all the happiness His Presence | brings can be obtained. For they are where He is Who brought them |
| Tx:29.32 | can but be found in him. And every thought of love you offer him but | brings you nearer to your wakening to peace eternal and to endless |
| Tx:29.43 | no other answer you can substitute and find the happiness His answer | brings. Seek not outside yourself. For all your pain comes simply |
| Tx:29.63 | idols which are interposed between your judgment and the penalty it | brings. |

| W1:16.3 | salvation requires that you recognize that every thought you have | brings either peace or war, either love or fear. A neutral result is |
| W1:52.2 | never frightening. It is impossible that it could upset me. Reality | brings only perfect peace. When I am upset, it is always because I |
| W1:58.3 | Everyone and everything I see in its light shares in the joy it | brings to me. There is nothing that is apart from this joy because |
| W1:61.4 | perfect answer to all illusions and therefore to all temptation. It | brings all the images you have made about yourself to the truth and |
| W1:63.4 | The light of the world | brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. I am the means God |
| W1:74.2 | to recognize this today and experience the peace this recognition | brings. |
| W1:80.3 | One problem—one solution. Accept the peace this simple statement | brings. |
| W1:80.5 | Now let the peace that your acceptance | brings be given you. Close your eyes and receive your reward. |
| W1:82.2 | [63] The light of the world | brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness. My forgiveness is |
| W1:92.4 | It unites with light, of which it is a part. It sees itself. It | brings the light in which your Self appears. In darkness you perceive |
| W1:94.1 | Today we continue with the one idea which | brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of |
| W1:99.6 | This is the thought which | brings illusions to the truth, and sees them as appearances behind |
| W1:101.10 | from madness. You are set on freedom's road, and now today's idea | brings wings to speed you on and hope to go still faster to the |
| W1:103.6 | your mind each waking hour today. Then welcome all the happiness it | brings, as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to |
| W1:108.3 | and vision, being healed, has power to heal. This is the light that | brings your peace of mind to other minds, to share it and be glad |
| W1:108.3 | you and with themselves. This is the light which heals because it | brings single perception, based upon one frame of reference from |
| W1:117.2 | also happiness. Let me remember love is happiness and nothing else | brings joy. And so I choose to entertain no substitutes for love. |
| W1:122.4 | promise never to be kept can hold more hope than what forgiveness | brings? Why would you seek an answer other than the answer that will |
| W1:122.11 | of questions answered, and what your acceptance of the answer | brings. Today it will be given you to feel the peace forgiveness |
| W1:123.5 | be. Thanks be to you who heard, for you become the messenger who | brings His Voice with you and let it echo round and round the world. |
| W1:133.6 | you just a little, for there is no in-between. Each choice you make | brings everything to you or nothing. Therefore, if you learn the |
| W1:136.8 | a thing that happens to you quite unsought, which makes you weak and | brings you suffering. It is a choice you make, a plan you lay when |
| W1:140.3 | The happy dreams the Holy Spirit | brings are different from the dreaming of the world, where one can |
| W1:140.7 | world provides that can effect a change in anything. The mind that | brings illusions to the truth is really changed. There is no change |
| W1:153.2 | The world gives rise but to defensiveness. For threat | brings anger, anger makes attack seem reasonable, honestly provoked, |
| W1:153.12 | gladly laid aside when children come to see the benefits salvation | brings. |
| W1:154.5 | nor ask why he has chosen those who will receive the message that he | brings. It is enough that he accept it, give it to the ones for whom |
| W1:157.2 | learned already and prepares us for what we have yet to learn. It | brings us to the door where learning ceases, and we catch a glimpse |
| W1:157.3 | learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, | brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you for a |
| W1:161.2 | of all seeing is to show you what you wish to see. All hearing but | brings to your mind the sounds it wants to hear. |
| W1:169.7 | experience we try to hasten. Yet forgiveness, taught and learned, | brings with it the experiences which bear witness that the time the |
| W1:170.1 | safe because of cruelty. You mean that you believe to hurt another | brings you freedom. And you mean that to attack is to exchange the |
| W1:R5.7 | that waits to meet us at the journey's ending. Every step we take | brings us a little nearer. This review will shorten time immeasurably |
| W1:I2.2 | alone cannot convey the sense of liberation which their lifting | brings. But the experience of freedom and of peace that comes as you |
| W1:182.4 | go is holy ground. It is His holiness that lights up Heaven and that | brings to earth the pure reflection of the light above, wherein are |
| W1:187.3 | you will not believe that this is done until you see the miracles it | brings to everyone you look upon. Herein is the idea of giving |
| W1:188.3 | eternal. It removes all thoughts of the ephemeral and valueless. It | brings renewal to all tired hearts and lights all vision as it passes |
| W1:193.12 | God would have him not forget His Love and all the gifts His Love | brings with it. Would you now renounce your own salvation? Would you |
| W1:193.20 | words. And then you hold the key that opens Heaven's gate and | brings the Love of God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it |
| W1:198.8 | but Truth could have a thought which builds a bridge to truth which | brings illusions to the other side? |
| W1:199.8 | more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy your practice | brings even to it. And God Himself extends His Love and happiness |
| W2:267.1 | healed, and all I need to save the world is given me. Each heartbeat | brings me peace; each breath infuses me with strength. I am a |
| W2:288.1 | This is the thought that leads the way to You and | brings me to my goal. I cannot come to You without my brother. And to |
| W2:WIRW.1 | to what you made. Your world is seen through eyes of fear and | brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The real world cannot be |
| W2:WISC.2 | things with you. There is no end to the release the Second Coming | brings, as God's creation must be limitless. Forgiveness lights the |
| W2:E.5 | sure that hell will claim you not and that each choice you make | brings Heaven nearer to your reach. And so we walk with Him from this |
| M:14.2 | real. Here is His home, for here there is need of Him indeed. He | brings the ending of the world with Him. It is His Call God's |
| M:14.4 | of its thinking will still seem sensible. The final lesson which | brings the ending of the world cannot be grasped by those not yet |
| M:14.5 | is laughter, who can longer weep? And only complete forgiveness | brings all this to bless the world. In blessing it departs, for it |
| M:19.3 | the lens which, held before the body's eyes, distorts perception and | brings witness of the distorted world back to the mind that made the |
| M:20.2 | previous experiences. It calls to mind nothing that went before. It | brings with it no past associations. It is a new thing entirely. |

| Tx:18.12 | it. Would you still further weaken and break apart what is already | broken and hopeless? Is it here that you would look for happiness? Or |
| Tx:18.12 | look for happiness? Or would you not prefer to heal what has been | broken and join in making whole what has been ravaged by separation |

| Tx:27.46 | has no effects. For all the hurt that war has sought to bring, the | broken bodies, and the shattered limbs, the screaming dying and the |
| Tx:28.34 | you who live within the world except a picture of the Son of God in | broken pieces, each concealed within a separate and uncertain bit of |

| Tx:28.44 | which the whole picture represents, instead of just a little | broken bit which he insisted was himself. And when he sees this |

| Tx:20.77 | with clear, life-giving water running happily beside them in dancing | brooks that never waste away, who need persuade you to accept the |
brother (365) | ||
| Tx:1.72 | the stranger without. By bringing in the stranger, he becomes your | brother. |
| Tx:1.78 | It is therefore an inappropriate reaction to me. An elder | brother is entitled to respect for his greater experience and a |
| Tx:1.78 | for his greater wisdom. He is also entitled to love because he is a | brother and also to devotion if he is devoted. It is only my devotion |
| Tx:1.80 | I bridge the distance as an elder | brother to man on the one hand and as a Son of God on the other. My |
| Tx:2.43 | talent of protecting others. The inner self knows itself as both a | brother and a Son. You know that when defenses are disrupted, there |
| 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 |
| Tx:4.1 | does not suggest that you set him back on his journey. Devotion to a | brother cannot set you back either. It can lead only to mutual |
| Tx:4.20 | never for your Soul. A father can safely leave a child with an elder | brother who has shown himself responsible, but this involves no |
| Tx:4.20 | but this involves no confusion about the child's origin. The | brother can protect the child's body and his ego, which are very |
| Tx:4.58 | your ego together but has literally split your mind. As a loving | brother, I am deeply concerned with your mind and urge you to follow |
| Tx:4.90 | I want. I will bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your | brother is to know God. A little knowledge is an all-encompassing |
| Tx:4.91 | As you come closer to a | brother, you do approach me and, as you withdraw from him, I become |
| Tx:5.4 | Let me know this | brother as I know myself. |
| Tx:5.32 | The way to learn to know your | brother is by perceiving the Holy Spirit in him. We have already said |
| Tx:5.33 | brothers. Since thoughts do not have to be conscious to exist, your | brother does not have to be aware of the Holy Spirit either in |
| Tx:5.34 | Your | brother may have dissociated the Call for God, just as you have. The |
| Tx:5.34 | and thus acknowledge its being. There are two ways of seeing your | brother which are diametrically opposed to each other. They must both |
| Tx:5.34 | and you will recognize Him in yours. What you acknowledge in your | brother you are acknowledging in yourself, and what you share you |
| Tx:5.53 | It means that you cannot be hurt and do not want to show your | brother anything except your wholeness. Show him that he cannot hurt |
| Tx:5.54 | you belong, and how can you find this way except by taking your | brother with you? |
| Tx:5.55 | and know that he belongs to God as you do. How could you treat your | brother better than by rendering unto God the things which are God's? |
| Tx:6.1 | wholly irrational premises, the equally irrational conclusion that a | brother is worthy of attack rather than of love follows. What can be |
| Tx:6.21 | to have called forth upon Judas was a similar reversal. Judas was my | brother and a Son of God, as much a part of the Sonship as myself. |
| Tx:7.9 | because of the elements which they share, can transfer to it. When a | brother perceives himself as sick, he is perceiving himself as not |
| Tx:7.10 | To heal, then, is to correct perception in your | brother and yourself by sharing the Holy Spirit with him. This places |
| Tx:7.48 | you are learning. You are recognizing the changeless mind in your | brother by realizing that he could not have changed his mind. That is |
| Tx:7.70 | Whenever you deny a blessing to a | brother, you will feel deprived. This is because denial is as total |
| Tx:7.72 | When a | brother acts insanely, he is offering you an opportunity to bless |
| Tx:7.73 | Teach no one that he is what you would not want to be. Your | brother is the mirror in which you will see the image of yourself as |
| Tx:7.78 | are taking it from you. One must be fearful if he believes that his | brother is attacking him to tear the Kingdom of Heaven from him. This |
| Tx:7.79 | of this as you are, are out to take God from you. Whenever a | brother attacks another, this is what he believes. Projection always |
| Tx:7.111 | and appreciate and know. Perceiving the Majesty of God as your | brother is to accept your own inheritance. God gives only equally. If |
| Tx:7.112 | only the whole Sonship can create like Him. Whenever you heal a | brother by recognizing his worth, you are acknowledging his power to |
| Tx:8.21 | Whenever you are with a | brother, you are learning what you are because you are teaching what |
| Tx:8.57 | Loss of any kind is impossible. When you look upon a | brother as a physical entity, his power and glory are lost to you, |
| Tx:8.67 | No more are any of the results of your condemnation. When you see a | brother as a body, you are condemning him because you have condemned |
| Tx:8.110 | be shaken. Can you ask of the Holy Spirit truly and doubt your | brother? Believe his words are true because of the truth which is in |
| Tx:8.111 | The message your | brother gives you is up to you. What does he say to you? What would |
| Tx:8.111 | in him, and His Voice speaks to you through him. What can so holy a | brother tell you except truth? But are you listening to it? Your |
| Tx:8.111 | a brother tell you except truth? But are you listening to it? Your | brother may not know who he is, but there is a light in his mind |
| Tx:8.112 | Salvation is of your | brother. The Holy Spirit extends from your mind to his and answers |
| Tx:8.112 | that it is for you unless you hear it in others. It must be for your | brother because it is for you. Would God have created a Voice for you |
| Tx:8.112 | hear His answer except as He answers all of God's Sons? Hear of your | brother what you would have me hear of you, for you would not want me |
| Tx:8.119 | Because I will to know myself, I see you as God's Son and my | brother. |
| Tx:9.2 | lies solely in the relinquishment of the ego. When you correct a | brother, you are telling him that he is wrong. He may be making no |
| Tx:9.4 | Him, you are listening to your ego and making as little sense as the | brother whose errors you perceive. This cannot be correction. Yet it |
| Tx:9.5 | When a | brother behaves insanely, you can heal him only by perceiving the |
| Tx:9.5 | this different from telling you that what you teach you learn? Your | brother is as right as you are, and if you think he is wrong, you are |
| Tx:9.7 | The Holy Spirit in you forgives all things in you and in your | brother. His errors are forgiven with yours. Atonement is no more |
| Tx:9.7 | because it comes from love. Any attempt you make to correct a | brother means that you believe correction by you is possible, and |
| Tx:9.9 | believe what your perception holds. Accept as true only what your | brother is if you would know yourself. Perceive what he is not, and |
| Tx:9.32 | will not always recognize His consistency. What you offer to your | brother, you offer to Him because He cannot go beyond your offering |
| Tx:9.33 | than He is. Would you know what this means? If what you do to my | brother you do to me, and if you do everything for yourself because |
| Tx:9.37 | you, and you are incomplete without your creations. Accept your | brother in this world and accept nothing else, for in him you will |
| Tx:9.37 | know that you are co-creator with God until you learn that your | brother is a co-creator with you. |
| Tx:9.80 | When a | brother is sick, it is because he is not asking for peace and |
| Tx:9.91 | It is an act of faith, because it is the recognition that his | brother can do it. It is a call to the Holy Spirit in his mind, a |
| Tx:9.91 | the miracle worker has heard Him, he strengthens His Voice in a sick | brother by weakening his belief in sickness, which he does not share. |
| Tx:10.4 | My | brother, you are part of God and part of me. When you have at last |
| Tx:10.5 | restore it to yourself. For you dwell in the Mind of God with your | brother, for God Himself did not will to be alone. |
| Tx:10.17 | of God. Every healing thought which you accept, either from your | brother or in your own mind, teaches you that you are God's Son. In |
| Tx:10.33 | because the light He created is one with Him. Would you cut off a | brother from the light that is yours? You would not do so if you |
| Tx:10.58 | Every | brother you meet becomes a witness for Christ or for the ego, |
| Tx:10.58 | is a witness to the thought system you want to be true. Every | brother has the power to release you if you will to be free. You |
| Tx:10.62 | as you live in everyone. Can you, then, perceive unworthiness in a | brother and not perceive it in yourself? And can you perceive it in |
| Tx:10.84 | Do not, then, be deceived in your | brother and see only his loving thoughts as his reality, for by |
| Tx:10.85 | presence of God's answer? Ask, then, to learn of the reality of your | brother because this is what you will perceive in him, and you will |
| Tx:10.86 | you cannot perceive part of you as sick and achieve your own goal. | Brother, we heal together as we live together and love together. Be |
| Tx:10.87 | If you perceive offense in a | brother, pluck the offense from your mind, for you are offended by |
| Tx:11.6 | do need His. Only appreciation is an appropriate response to your | brother. Gratitude is due him for both his loving thoughts and his |
| Tx:11.7 | them to you because they are for you. Do not attempt to “help” a | brother in your way, for you cannot help yourselves. But hear his |
| Tx:11.15 | of God. You can remember this for all the Sonship. Do not allow your | brother not to remember, for his forgetfulness is yours. But your |
| Tx:11.15 | This is what you have forgotten. To perceive the healing of your | brother as the healing of yourself is thus the way to remember God. |
| Tx:11.16 | Perceive in sickness but another call for love and offer your | brother what he believes he cannot offer himself. Whatever the |
| Tx:11.16 | health is to recognize in hatred the call for love. And to give a | brother what he really wants is to offer it unto yourself, for your |
| Tx:11.16 | is to offer it unto yourself, for your Father wills you to know your | brother as yourself. Answer his call for love and yours is answered. |
| Tx:11.25 | Suppose a | brother insists on having you do something you think you do not want |
| Tx:11.26 | Whenever you become angry with a | brother, for whatever reason, you are believing that the ego is to be |
| Tx:11.27 | outrageous, for nothing can be asked of you, and every request of a | brother is for you. Why would you insist in denying him? For to do so |
| Tx:12.27 | let it go. You thus deny yourself the message of release that every | brother offers you now. |
| Tx:12.37 | it comes it is not recognized. If you see your own hatred as your | brother, you are not seeing him. Everyone draws nigh unto what he |
| Tx:12.45 | reality leaves no room for any error. This means that you perceive a | brother only as you see him now. His past has no reality in the |
| Tx:12.45 | what was now. If you remember the past as you look upon your | brother, you will be unable to perceive the reality that is now. |
| Tx:12.49 | The miracle enables you to see your | brother without his past and so perceive him as born again. His |
| Tx:13.9 | the power to create the witnesses to [yours, which is as His. Deny a | brother here, and you deny the witnesses to] your fatherhood in |
| Tx:13.14 | because you see the past and see him not. When you condemn a | brother, you are saying, “I who was guilty choose to remain so.” You |
| Tx:13.22 | In any union with a | brother in which you seek to lay your guilt upon him or share it with |
| Tx:13.30 | true, you will have no idea what love is like. No one who condemns a | brother can see himself as guiltless in the peace of God. If he is |
| Tx:13.70 | he binds himself to darkness because he did not choose to free his | brother and enter light with him. By giving power to nothing, he |
| Tx:14.52 | is merely form, and nothing else. For you do not respond to what a | brother really offers you, but only to the particular perception of |
| Tx:14.56 | Holy Spirit is nothing. Every interpretation you would lay upon a | brother is senseless. Let the Holy Spirit show him to you and teach |
| Tx:14.57 | is the recognition that this is true. Where there is love, your | brother must give it to you because of what it is. But where there is |
| Tx:15.13 | be yours alone. Remember, then, when you are tempted to attack a | brother, that his instant of release is yours. Miracles are the |
| Tx:15.13 | for His use of it. How long is an instant? It is as short for your | brother as it is for you. Practice giving this blessed instant of |
| Tx:15.19 | A Son of God who has been released through the Holy Spirit in a | brother, if the release is complete, is always recognized. He cannot |
| Tx:15.34 | God and of the Heaven that is in him. For where you would help your | brother be, there will you think you are. Hear not his call for hell |
| Tx:15.54 | meaning apart from His, and it is impossible to understand it. Every | brother God loves as He loves you—neither less nor more. He needs |
| Tx:15.56 | as you accept the possibility, and cherish it, that you can make a | brother what he is not because you would have him so. |
| Tx:15.76 | body is companionship, you will be compelled to attempt to keep your | brother in his body, held there by guilt. And you will see safety in |
| Tx:15.88 | its demands to make little and ineffectual. Limit your vision of a | brother to his body, which you will do as long as you would not |
| Tx:16.6 | The triumph of weakness is not what you would offer to a | brother. And yet you know no triumph but this. This is not knowledge, |
| Tx:16.7 | try to 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 |
| Tx:18.45 | It is no dream to love your | brother as yourself. Nor is your holy relationship a dream. All that |
| Tx:18.48 | I desire this holy instant for myself that I may share it with my | brother, whom I love. It is not possible that I can have it without |
| Tx:18.82 | You could no more know God alone than He knows you without your | brother. But together you could no more be unaware of love than love |
| Tx:19.4 | straight to illusions. For faithlessness is the perception of a | brother as a body, and the body cannot be used for purposes of union. |
| Tx:19.4 | body cannot be used for purposes of union. If, then, you see your | brother as a body, you have established a condition in which uniting |
| Tx:19.10 | from the past, which you received. You do not use anything your | brother has done before to condemn him now. You freely choose to |
| Tx:19.98 | obstacle alone, for he could not have reached thus far unless his | brother walked beside him. And no one would dare to look on it |
| Tx:19.98 | no one would dare to look on it without complete forgiveness of his | brother in his heart. Stand you here a while and tremble not. You |
| Tx:19.99 | to which everyone must come when he is ready. Once he has found his | brother, he is ready. Yet merely to reach the place is not enough. A |
| Tx:19.101 | This | brother who stands beside you still seems to be a stranger. You do |
| Tx:19.103 | the worshipers of sin, know not Whom they attack. This is your | brother, crucified by sin, and waiting for release from pain. Would |
| Tx:19.104 | forgive is free, and what you give you share. Forgive the sins your | brother thinks he has committed and all the guilt you think you see |
| Tx:19.105 | return until redemption is accomplished and received. Think who your | brother is before you would condemn him. And offer thanks to God that |
| Tx:19.106 | to give. Into the hands that give the gift is given. Look on your | brother, and see in him the gift of God you would receive. It is |
| Tx:19.107 | Free your | brother here, as I freed you. Give him the self-same gift, nor look |
| Tx:20.5 | lovely what you hate. Would you employ this hated thing to draw your | brother to you and to attract his body's eyes? Learn you but offer |
| Tx:20.7 | and take it for their own. Here is the value that you lay upon your | brother and on yourself. Here is your gift to both; your judgment on |
| Tx:20.13 | Would you not have your holy | brother lead you there? His innocence will light your way, offering |
| Tx:20.27 | as surely as God created His Son holy and kept him so. In your | brother is the light of God's eternal promise of your immortality. |
| Tx:20.29 | enter than can their source. And therein lies your need to see your | brother sinless. In him is Heaven. See sin in him instead, and Heaven |
| Tx:20.32 | as they received. See, then, the power of sinlessness within your | brother and share with him the power of the release from sin you |
| Tx:20.50 | from Him. But what you do not realize is what you fear within your | brother and would not see in him is what makes God seem fearful to |
| Tx:20.61 | It is impossible to see your | brother as sinless and yet to look upon him as a body. Is this not |
| Tx:20.62 | sin. It cannot be attained but in illusion, and so the illusion of a | brother as a body is quite in keeping with the purpose of unholiness. |
| Tx:20.65 | it cannot look on sin. And thus it leads you to reality. Your holy | brother, sight of whom is your release, is no illusion. Attempt to |
| Tx:20.66 | Your question should not be, “How can I see my | brother without the body?” Ask only, “Do I really wish to see him |
| Tx:20.67 | but they will be enough to show you what is given you who see your | brother sinless. Truth is restored to you through your desire, as it |
| Tx:20.68 | either means or end. All this is given you who would but see your | brother sinless. All this is given, waiting on your desire but to |
| Tx:20.69 | at one with Him on what salvation is. Be willing, then, to see your | brother sinless that Christ may rise before your vision and give you |
| Tx:21.19 | rests. This was not given you. This was your gift to you and to your | brother. Be willing, then, to have it taken from him and be replaced |
| Tx:21.27 | madness of its maker, and cannot serve to justify the madness. Your | brother thinks he made the world with you. Thus he denies creation. |
| Tx:21.29 | is adjusted. Forget not this—to bargain is to set a limit, and any | brother with whom you have a limited relationship you hate. You may |
| Tx:21.35 | the body has your faith and your belief. But holiness would set your | brother free, removing hatred by removing fear, not as a symptom, but |
| Tx:21.45 | This part has seen your | brother and recognized him perfectly since time began. And it desired |
| Tx:21.59 | and you allow it not to do so, you deny it to yourself and to your | brother. And if he shares this same belief, you both will think that |
| Tx:21.60 | Correction cannot be accepted or refused by you without your | brother. Sin would maintain it can. Yet reason tells you that you |
| Tx:21.60 | would maintain it can. Yet reason tells you that you cannot see your | brother or yourself as sinful and still perceive the other innocent. |
| Tx:21.63 | The body does not separate you from your | brother, and if you think it does, you are insane. But madness has a |
| Tx:21.64 | Reason will tell you that this fact is your release. Neither your | brother nor yourself can be attacked alone. But neither can accept a |
| Tx:21.67 | an instant in the glad acceptance of what is given you to give your | brother, and learn with him what has been given both of you. To give |
| Tx:21.68 | what you must be. Your Father is as close to you as is your | brother. Yet what is there that could be nearer you than is your Self? |
| Tx:21.71 | hate. They are indeed a sorry army, each one as likely to attack his | brother or turn upon himself as to remember they thought they had a |
| Tx:22.28 | gladly is His vision given to anyone who is but willing to see his | brother sinless. And no one can remain beyond this willingness if you |
| Tx:22.28 | of perfect purity, and God created it for you. Look on your holy | brother, sinless as yourself, and let him lead you there. |
| Tx:22.36 | from you by what the body's eyes can see. Let your awareness of your | brother not be blocked by your perception of his sins and of his |
| Tx:22.50 | seem to stand, heavy and solid and immovable, between you and your | brother. And not one that truth cannot pass over lightly and so |
| Tx:23.16 | with Him. You are not strangers in the house of God. Welcome your | brother to the home where God has set him in serenity and peace and |
| Tx:23.31 | Never is your possession made complete. And never will your | brother cease his attack on you for what you stole. Nor will God end |
| Tx:23.42 | a blessing and a sign the Voice for God speaks through you to your | brother? The wrapping does not make the gift you give. An empty box, |
| Tx:23.42 | nor the giver is long deceived. Withhold forgiveness from your | brother, and you attack him. You give him nothing and receive of him |
| Tx:24.7 | decisions. Here is the grand illusion of what you are and what your | brother is. And here is what must make the body dear and worth |
| Tx:24.7 | be defended. Illusions can attack it, and they do. For what your | brother must become to keep your specialness is an illusion. He who |
| Tx:24.8 | Would it be possible for you to hate your | brother if you were like him? Could you attack him if you realized |
| Tx:24.8 | And what decision can be made for this that will not hurt you? Your | brother is your friend because his Father created him like you. There |
| Tx:24.11 | is specialness but an attack upon the Will of God? You love your | brother not while it is this you would defend against him. This is |
| Tx:24.18 | and one which brings release to both of you. Here stands your | brother with the key to Heaven in his hand held out to you. Let not |
| Tx:24.21 | if He is not special, then He willed His Son be like Him, and your | brother is like you. Not special, but possessed of everything |
| Tx:24.25 | The key you threw away God gave your | brother, whose holy hands would offer it to you when you were ready |
| Tx:24.31 | is barred to love and to salvation. Yet if you would release your | brother from the depths of hell, you have forgiven Him Whose Will it |
| Tx:24.38 | and consider well, whether it is your wish that you might see your | brother sinless. To specialness the answer must be “no.” A sinless |
| Tx:24.38 | brother sinless. To specialness the answer must be “no.” A sinless | brother is its enemy, while sin, if it were possible, would be its |
| Tx:24.39 | you suffer pain of any kind, you have beheld some sin within your | brother and have rejoiced at what you thought was there. Your |
| Tx:24.43 | it lead but to destruction? Yet think not that it looked upon your | brother first, nor hated him before it hated you. The sin its eyes |
| Tx:24.47 | Son could never will that you be brotherless. And would He give a | brother unto you except he be as perfect as yourself and just as like |
| Tx:24.49 | leave His own creation. And the sign that this is so lies in your | brother, offered you that all your doubts about yourself may |
| Tx:24.51 | has no meaning in eternity where He abides and you with Him. Your | brother is as He created him. And it is this that saves you from a |
| Tx:24.53 | Look on your | brother and behold in him the whole reversal of the laws that seem to |
| Tx:24.54 | and the world's, is set the shining memory of Him in Whom your | brother lives and you along with him. Let not your eyes be blinded by |
| Tx:24.57 | you. Futility of function not fulfilled will haunt you while your | brother lies asleep, till what has been assigned to you is done and |
| Tx:24.58 | of Him with equal love [and care]. The Christ in you can see your | brother truly. Would you decide against the holiness He sees? |
| Tx:24.63 | The memory of God shines not alone. What is within your | brother still contains all of creation, everything created and |
| Tx:24.72 | beloved son. The other rests within, His Father's Son, within your | brother as he is in you. Their difference does not lie in how they |
| Tx:25.3 | and love to heal their minds. Such is the mission that your | brother has for you. And such it must be that your mission is for him. |
| Tx:25.4 | the mind at one with Him. And you are manifest unto your holy | brother, as he to you. Here is the meeting of the holy Christ unto |
| Tx:25.5 | The message and the messenger are one. And you must see your | brother as yourself. Framed in his body, you will see your sinfulness |
| Tx:25.16 | as if a masterpiece were there to see? Yet if you see your | brother as a body, it is but this you do. The masterpiece that God |
| Tx:25.19 | Within the darkness, see the savior from the dark and understand your | brother as his Father's Mind shows him to you. He will step forth |
| Tx:25.20 | when any part of Him joins in His praise, to share His joy. This | brother is His perfect gift to you. And He is glad and thankful when |
| Tx:25.21 | Forgive your | brother, and you cannot separate yourself from him nor from his |
| Tx:25.21 | who but extend His Will. It was for this you were created and your | brother with you and at one with you. |
| Tx:25.22 | in will that you be made complete by offering completion to your | brother. See not in him the sinfulness he sees, but give him honor |
| Tx:25.42 | hates you, thinking Heaven must be hell. Look once again upon your | brother, not without the understanding that he is the way to Heaven |
| Tx:25.45 | Will you behold your | brother? God is glad to have you look on him. He does not will your |
| Tx:25.48 | His wish was not denied but changed in form to let it serve his | brother and himself and thus become a means to save instead of lose. |
| Tx:26.1 | of power in the name of saving just a little for yourself. To see a | brother in another body separate from yours is the expression of a |
| Tx:26.3 | And to accept the limits of a body is to impose these limits on each | brother whom you see. For you must see him as you see yourself. |
| Tx:26.4 | body is a loss and can be made to sacrifice. And while you see your | brother as a body, apart from you and separate in his cell, you are |
| Tx:26.6 | of showing you that it has not been lost. Hear then the song your | brother sings to you. And let the world recede and take the rest his |
| Tx:26.54 | Sins are beliefs which you impose between your | brother and yourself. They limit you to time and place and give a |
| Tx:26.54 | apart and separate. Forgiveness takes away what stands between your | brother and yourself. It is the wish that you be joined with him and |
| Tx:26.63 | because the truth is in your memory. And to this name, your | brother calls for his release and yours. Heaven is shining on the Son |
| Tx:26.66 | in peace, where God would have you be, and be the means whereby your | brother finds the peace in which your wishes are fulfilled. Let us |
| Tx:26.66 | And everything belongs to each of them. No wishes lie between a | brother and his own. To get from one is to deprive them all. And yet |
| Tx:26.77 | you must be from whom the Voice for God calls lovingly unto your | brother, that you may awake in him the Voice that answers to your |
| Tx:26.78 | one you cherish still? Forget not that a shadow held between your | brother and yourself obscures the face of Christ and memory of God. |
| Tx:26.89 | You think your | brother is unfair to you because you think that one must be unfair to |
| Tx:27.1 | on your path, or you will weave a crown of thorns from which your | brother and yourself will not escape. You cannot crucify yourself |
| Tx:27.3 | unfairly treated, or in need of anything, you but accuse your | brother of attack upon God's Son. You hold a picture of your |
| Tx:27.4 | seek to kill. Death seems an easy price if they can say, “Behold me, | brother; at your hand I die.” For sickness is the witness to his |
| Tx:27.5 | what it represents. The bleak and bitter picture you have sent your | brother you have looked upon in grief. And everything that it has |
| Tx:27.6 | Show this unto your | brother, who will see that every scar is healed and every tear is |
| Tx:27.7 | speak for and represent. And each has many voices, speaking to your | brother and yourself in different tongues. And yet to both the |
| Tx:27.10 | Your function is to [prove to] your | brother that sin can have no cause. How futile must it be to see |
| Tx:27.11 | power to represent an endless life, forever unattacked. And to your | brother let its message be, “Behold me, brother; at your hand I live.” |
| Tx:27.11 | unattacked. And to your brother let its message be, “Behold me, | brother; at your hand I live.” |
| Tx:27.13 | the damaged have no grounds for peace. Who has been injured by his | brother and could love and trust him still? He has attacked and will |
| Tx:27.14 | first establish sin and then forgive it. Who can say and mean, “My | brother, you have injured me, and yet because I am the better of the |
| Tx:27.15 | done to you deserves no pardon. And by giving it, you grant your | brother mercy but retain the proof he is not really innocent. The |
| Tx:27.16 | Forgiveness is not real unless it brings a healing to your | brother and yourself. You must attest his sins had no effect on you |
| Tx:27.16 | be healed that you may be forgiving, offering salvation to your | brother and yourself. A broken body shows the mind has not been |
| Tx:27.18 | his own, will yet be the last trumpet that the world will ever hear. | Brother, there is no death. And this you learn when you but wish to |
| Tx:27.18 | there is no death. And this you learn when you but wish to show your | brother that you had no hurt of him. He thinks your blood is on his |
| Tx:27.19 | they bestow an equal gift of full deliverance from guilt upon your | brother and yourself. Your healing saves him pain as well as you, and |
| Tx:27.19 | with no effects. Your health is a result of your desire to see your | brother with no blood upon his hands nor guilt upon his heart made |
| Tx:27.23 | yours in someone else. And thus does he become your victim, not your | brother, different from you in that he is more guilty, thus in need |
| Tx:27.26 | to its accuser, who hated it and hates it still. This is your | brother, focus of your hate, unworthy to be part of you and thus |
| Tx:27.30 | You have decided that your | brother is a symbol for a “hateful-love,” a “weakened-power,” and |
| Tx:27.31 | The picture of your | brother that you see means nothing. There is nothing to attack or to |
| Tx:27.31 | What can the causeless be but nothingness? The picture of your | brother that you see is wholly absent and has never been. Let then |
| Tx:27.34 | The picture of your | brother given you to occupy the space so lately left unoccupied and |
| Tx:27.49 | upon the Friend who brought them their release. And happily your | brother will perceive the many friends he thought were enemies. |
| Tx:27.52 | be proved to you by all the many different witnesses it finds. Your | brother first among them will be seen, but thousands stand behind |
| Tx:27.67 | this is where your guilt was first beheld. In separation from your | brother was the first attack upon yourself begun. And it is this the |
| Tx:27.72 | A | brother separated from yourself, an ancient enemy, a murderer who |
| Tx:27.72 | murderer, the secret enemy, the scavenger and the destroyer of [the] | brother and the world alike. Here is the cause of suffering, the |
| Tx:27.73 | [A gentler dream, in which his suffering was healed and where his | brother was his friend.] God willed he waken gently and with joy. And |
| Tx:27.75 | Dream softly of your sinless | brother, who unites with you in holy innocence. And from this dream, |
| Tx:27.76 | his Father, Whom you see as offering both life and death to you. | Brother, He gives but life. Yet what you see as gifts your brother |
| Tx:27.76 | to you. Brother, He gives but life. Yet what you see as gifts your | brother offers represent the gifts you dream your Father gives to |
| Tx:27.83 | is time made real; a part of God which can attack itself; a separate | brother as an enemy; a mind within a body, all are forms of |
| Tx:27.85 | effects removed. Perhaps you come in tears, but hear Him say, “My | brother, Holy Son of God, behold your idle dream in which this could |
| Tx:27.90 | this that has maintained you separate from the world and kept your | brother separate from you. Now need you but to learn that both of you |
| Tx:28.22 | dream. He gives himself the consequences which he dreams he gave his | brother. And it is but this the dream has put together and has |
| Tx:28.30 | bodies which are separated and which cannot join. Do not allow your | brother to be sick, for if he is, have you abandoned him to his own |
| Tx:28.35 | miracles. And where the gap was seen to stand between you, join your | brother there. And sickness will be seen without a cause. The dream |
| Tx:28.39 | Like you, your | brother thinks he is a dream. Share not in his illusion of himself, |
| Tx:28.39 | him as a mind in which illusions still persist, but as a mind which | brother is to you. He is not brother made by what he dreams, nor is |
| Tx:28.39 | still persist, but as a mind which brother is to you. He is not | brother made by what he dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the dream, |
| Tx:28.39 | made by what he dreams, nor is his body, “hero” of the dream, your | brother. It is his reality that is your brother, as is yours to him. |
| Tx:28.39 | “hero” of the dream, your brother. It is his reality that is your | brother, as is yours to him. Your mind and his are joined in |
| Tx:28.43 | be united with him. He has dream[ed] that he was separated from his | brother who, by sharing not his dream, has left the space between |
| Tx:28.49 | upon your Self, which seems to be your enemy, and will attack your | brother as a part of what you hate. There is no compromise. You are |
| Tx:28.57 | self be lost. This is the secret vow which you have made with every | brother who would walk apart. This is the secret oath you take again, |
| Tx:28.58 | oath to be forever faithful unto death. And by his healing is his | brother healed. |
| Tx:28.62 | Either there is a gap between you and your | brother, or you are as one. There is no in between, no other choice, |
| Tx:29.1 | fail. All this do you believe, when you perceive a gap between your | brother and yourself. How could you trust Him, then? For He must be |
| Tx:29.3 | seem dark and fearful, perilous and bleak. You had decided that your | brother is your enemy. Sometimes a friend, perhaps, provided that |
| Tx:29.22 | The coming of the light means it is gone. In glory will you see your | brother then and understand what really fills the gap so long |
| Tx:29.23 | create, but which you can extend. On earth this means forgive your | brother, that the darkness may be lifted from your mind. When light |
| Tx:29.29 | seem to be what they are for. A shadow figure who attacks becomes a | brother giving you a chance to help if this becomes the function of |
| Tx:29.30 | What is your | brother for? You do not know because your function is obscure to you. |
| Tx:29.35 | lay bloody hands on Heaven itself and hope to find its peace? Your | brother thinks he holds the hand of death. Believe him not. But learn |
| Tx:29.38 | How willing are you to forgive your | brother? How much do you desire peace instead of endless strife and |
| Tx:29.52 | are for and why they have been made. An idol is an image of your | brother which you would value more than what he is. Idols are made |
| Tx:29.55 | across the face of Christ because its purpose is to separate your | brother from yourself. A dark and fearful purpose, yet a thought |
| Tx:29.60 | make of Heaven less, to give you more than God bestowed upon your | brother and on you as one with Him? God gave you all there is. And to |
| Tx:30.37 | is healed. And now is God forgiven, for you chose to look upon your | brother as a friend. |
| Tx:30.62 | again that what is his be given back to him. The gap between your | brother and yourself was never there. And what the Son of God knew in |
| Tx:30.68 | Be merciful unto your | brother, then. And do not choose an idol thoughtlessly, remembering |
| Tx:30.73 | think of its Creator as it looks upon itself. If you can see your | brother merits pardon, you have learned forgiveness is your right as |
| Tx:30.73 | you think that God intends for you a fearful judgment which your | brother does not merit. For it is the truth that you can merit |
| Tx:30.77 | Look on your | brother with the willingness to see him as he is. And do not keep a |
| Tx:30.81 | Look on your | brother with this hope in you, and you will understand he could not |
| Tx:30.87 | goal gives one interpretation, meaningful to you and to your | brother. Thus can you communicate with him and he with you. In |
| Tx:30.90 | attests salvation from appearances by showing they can change. Your | brother has a changelessness in him beyond appearance and deception |
| Tx:30.93 | happy form, devoid of fear. It will be given you to look upon your | brother thus. But not while you would have it otherwise in some |
| Tx:30.93 | will be certain you are like Him, for He is the changeless in your | brother and in you. |
| Tx:30.94 | there is not one appearance you would hold in place of what your | brother really is. Let no temptation to prefer a dream allow |
| Tx:31.16 | and give away the role of leadership. And this is what you made your | brother for and learned to think that this his purpose is. Unless he |
| 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 |
| Tx:31.20 | we thought we heard; remembering how much we do not know. This | brother neither leads nor follows us but walks beside us on the |
| Tx:31.23 | Forgive your | brother all appearances, which are but ancient lessons that you |
| Tx:31.24 | both may learn you love each other with a brother's love. And as a | brother, must his Father be the same as yours, as he is like yourself. |
| Tx:31.26 | shortened by a span of time you cannot realize. You never hate your | brother for his sins, but only for your own. Whatever form his sins |
| Tx:31.32 | to change, and there will be no ancient penalty exacted from your | brother or yourself. For God has said there is no sacrifice that can |
| Tx:31.40 | All choices in the world depend on this—you choose between your | brother and yourself, and you will gain as much as he will lose, and |
| Tx:31.40 | truth is this, when the lesson's purpose is to teach that what your | brother loses you have lost and what he gains is what is given you. |
| Tx:31.48 | Here is the central lesson that ensures your | brother is condemned eternally. For what you are has now become his |
| Tx:31.48 | silently, and yet with ceaseless urgency condemning still your | brother for the hated thing you are. |
| Tx:31.51 | Let us consider then what proof there is that you are what your | brother made of you. For even though you do not yet perceive that |
| Tx:31.52 | That you are what your | brother made of you seems most unlikely. Even if he did, who gave the |
| Tx:31.52 | parts to what you think yourself to be. If one was generated by your | brother, who was there to make the other? And from whom must |
| Tx:31.54 | must be. You might for instance be the thing you chose to have your | brother be. This shifts the concept of the self from what is wholly |
| Tx:31.54 | was it that did the choosing first? If you are what you chose your | brother be, alternatives were there to choose among, and someone must |
| Tx:31.55 | almost equal loss, for now you stand accused of guilt for what your | brother is. And you must share his guilt because you chose it for him |
| Tx:31.69 | innocence, for you are too confused about yourself. But should one | brother dawn upon your sight as wholly worthy of forgiveness, then |
| Tx:31.75 | to his care. And this he learns when first he looks upon one | brother as he looks upon himself and sees the mirror of himself in |
| Tx:31.76 | for just one error—that there is a space between you and your | brother, kept apart by an illusion of yourself which holds him off |
| Tx:31.76 | of yourself that it may fight to keep the space that holds your | brother off unoccupied by love. Yet while you hold this sword, you |
| Tx:31.77 | miserable and remain in hell and torment? Who has learned to see his | brother not as this has saved himself, and thus is he a savior to the |
| Tx:31.79 | longer is held dear. But while you cherish it, you will behold your | brother in the likeness of the self whose image has the wish begot of |
| Tx:31.80 | The savior's vision is as innocent of what your | brother is as it is free of any judgment made upon yourself. It sees |
| Tx:31.87 | and each perplexity Christ calls to you and gently says, “My | brother, choose again.” He would not leave one source of pain |
| Tx:31.96 | In joyous welcome is my hand outstretched to every | brother who would join with me in reaching past temptation and who |
| W1:43.2 | perception becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his | brother and thus forgives himself. |
| W1:69.1 | now with him who stood beside you when you were in hell. He is your | brother in the light of the world which saves you both. |
| W1:72.6 | hold insists that the body is real. It overlooks entirely what your | brother is. It reinforces your belief that he is a body and condemns |
| W1:105.8 | My | brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and |
| W1:105.12 | Determine not to interfere today with what He wills. And if a | brother seems to tempt you to deny God's gift to him, see it as but |
| W1:105.12 | to let yourself receive the gifts of God as yours. Then bless your | brother thankfully, and say: |
| W1:105.13 | My | brother, peace and joy I offer you, that I may have God's peace and |
| W1:107.10 | thought which gave the gift of life to Him as well. He is your | brother and so like to you your Father knows that you are both the |
| W1:108.5 | correction will suffice for all correction or that to forgive one | brother wholly is enough to bring salvation to all minds. For these |
| W1:109.10 | You rest within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each | brother comes to take his rest and offer it to you. |
| W1:110.8 | Seek Him within you Who is Christ in you, the Son of God and | brother to the world—the savior who has been forever saved, with |
| W1:110.8 | Him however lightly, asking for the Word that tells him he is | brother unto Him. |
| W1:127.12 | I bless you, | brother, with the Love of God which I would share with you. For I |
| W1:134.7 | guilt. It looks on them with quiet eyes and merely says to them, “My | brother, what you think is not the truth.” |
| W1:134.9 | follow in the way your true forgiveness opens up to you. For if one | brother has received this gift of you, the door is open to yourself. |
| W1:134.17 | Then choose one | brother as He will direct, and catalogue his “sins,” as one by one |
| W1:134.18 | the escape from all the heavy chains you sought to lay upon your | brother which were laid upon yourself. |
| W1:151.7 | He will not tell you that your | brother should be judged by what your eyes behold in him, nor what |
| W1:158.10 | well. This lesson is not difficult to learn if you remember in your | brother you but see yourself. If he be lost in sin, so must you be; |
| W1:158.10 | you see light in him, your sins have been forgiven by yourself. Each | brother whom you meet today provides another chance to let Christ's |
| W1:159.2 | as accomplished in yourself when you forgive. You recognize your | brother as yourself and thus do you perceive that you are whole. |
| W1:160.10 | not remember Him until you look on all as He does. Who denies his | brother is denying Him and thus refusing to accept the gift of sight |
| W1:161.4 | One | brother is all brothers. Every mind contains all minds, for every |
| W1:161.8 | Who sees a | brother as a body sees him as fear's symbol. And he will attack |
| W1:161.12 | Select one | brother, symbol of the rest, and ask salvation of him. See him first |
| W1:161.16 | 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 will see |
| W1:162.6 | And who would not be | brother to you now—you, his redeemer and his savior. Who could fail |
| W1:R5.9 | My resurrection comes again each time I lead a | brother safely to the place at which the journey ends and is forgot. |
| W1:R5.9 | at which the journey ends and is forgot. I am renewed each time a | brother learns there is a way from misery and pain. I am reborn each |
| W1:181.1 | doubt and lack of sure conviction in yourself. When you attack a | brother, you proclaim that he is limited by what you have perceived |
| W1:182.11 | against an enemy without existence. Christ has called you friend and | brother. He has even come to you to ask your help in letting Him go |
| W1:183.6 | And should you join a | brother as you sit with him in silence and repeat God's Name along |
| W1:184.8 | true in earth and Heaven is beyond your naming. When you call upon a | brother, it is to his body that you make appeal. His true Identity is |
| W1:187.9 | The lilies that your | brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you offer |
| W1:187.10 | God. Not separate from Him Who is our Source; not distant from one | brother who is part of our One Self Whose innocence has joined us all |
| W1:193.10 | and do not forget these words apply to everything you see or any | brother looks upon amiss. |
| W1:195.3 | Your | brother is your “enemy” because you see in him the rival for your |
| W1:195.4 | You do not offer God your gratitude because your | brother is more slave than you, nor could you sanely be enraged if he |

| W2:247.1 | His sight shows me as the simple truth and I am healed completely. | Brother, come and let me look on you. Your loveliness reflects my |
| W2:WIB.4 | the pursuit of hell. The Son of God extends his hand to reach his | brother and to help him walk along the road with him. Now is the body |

| W2:288.1 | cherish it within my heart or I will lose the way to walk to You. My | brother is my savior. Let me not attack the savior You have given me. |
| W2:288.2 | today. And you will know you have forgiven me if you behold your | brother in the light of holiness. He cannot be less holy than can I, |
| W2:313.2 | the sight of Christ. How beautiful we are! How holy and how loving! | Brother, come and join with me today. We save the world when we are |
| W2:315.1 | the day, in value far beyond all things of which I can conceive. A | brother smiles upon another, and my heart is gladdened. Someone |
| W2:316.1 | the holy mind my Father loves. His grace is given me in every gift a | brother has received throughout all time and past all time as well. |
| W2:334.2 | to give him certainty and bring him peace? Today I would behold my | brother sinless. This Your Will for me, for thus will I behold my |
| W2:335.1 | Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my | brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. What I see in |
| W2:335.1 | look upon my own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my | brother in its holy light. |
| W2:342.2 | Brother, forgive me now. I come to you to take you home with me. And | |
| W2:351.1 | Who is my | brother but Your holy Son? And if I see him sinful, I proclaim myself |
| W2:351.1 | perception is a choice I make and can relinquish. I can also see my | brother sinless as Your holy Son. And with this choice I see my |
| W2:357.1 | I think I live. Your holy Son is pointed out to me, first in my | brother, then in me. Your Voice instructs me patiently to hear Your |
| W2:FL.4 | to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive our | brother who can offer this to us? He is the way, the truth, and life |
| W2:E.4 | earned your trust by speaking daily to you of your Father and your | brother and your Self. He will continue; now you walk with Him as |

| Tx:24.38 | its enemy, while sin, if it were possible, would be its friend. Your | brother's sins would justify itself and give it meaning that the |

| Tx:24.54 | God no longer hold the vision you were meant to see from you. Your | brother's body shows not Christ to you. He is set forth within his |
| Tx:24.55 | where is God Himself but in that part of Him He set forever in your | brother's holiness that you might see the truth about yourself set |

| Tx:25.28 | to bring him joy. How can a misperception be a sin? Let all your | brother's errors be to you nothing except a chance for you to see the |

| Tx:27.15 | reigns can suffer. He holds not the proof of sin before his | brother's eyes. And thus he must have overlooked it and removed it |
| Tx:27.21 | Who then fears healing? Only those to whom their | brother's sacrifice and pain are seen to represent their own |
| Tx:27.25 | correct is only half the error, which you think is all of it. Your | brother's sins become the central target for correction, lest your |

| Tx:28.39 | is your brother, as is yours to him. Your mind and his are joined in | brotherhood. His body and his dreams but seem to make a little gap, |

| Tx:1.29 | which I undertook to begin. When you offer a miracle unto any of my | brothers, you do it unto yourself and me. The reason you come before |
| Tx:1.33 | 27. A miracle is a universal blessing from God through me to all my | brothers. It is the privilege of the forgiven to forgive. |
| Tx:1.47 | forgive in return. It is the duty of the released to release their | brothers. |
| Tx:1.48 | of Atonement. Those released by Christ must join in releasing their | brothers, for this is the plan of the Atonement. Miracles are the way |
| Tx:1.59 | 41. The miracle acknowledges all men as your | brothers and mine. It is a way of perceiving the universal mark of |
| Tx:1.59 | God's Sons does not stem from exclusion but from inclusion. All my | brothers are special. If they believe they are deprived of anything, |
| Tx:1.80 | on the one hand and as a Son of God on the other. My devotion to my | brothers has placed me in charge of the Sonship, which I can render |
| Tx:1.80 | close to the Holy Spirit and alert to the revelation-readiness of my | brothers. I can thus bring down to them more than they can draw down |
| Tx:1.104 | into believing that we can relate in peace to God or to our | brothers with anything external.” |
| Tx:3.63 | release and deep peace that comes from meeting yourselves and your | brothers totally without judgment. When you recognize what you and |
| Tx:3.63 | totally without judgment. When you recognize what you and your | brothers are, you will realize that judging them in any way is |
| Tx:4.90 | each other, and one moment of real recognition makes all men your | brothers because they are all of your Father. Love does not conquer |
| Tx:4.91 | from me. God will come to you only as you will give Him to your | brothers. Learn first of them, and you will be ready to hear God as |
| Tx:5.3 | You are being blessed by every beneficent thought of any of your | brothers anywhere. You should want to bless them in return out of |
| Tx:5.29 | Hear only this through the Holy Spirit within you, and teach your | brothers to listen as I am teaching you. When you are tempted by the |
| Tx:5.33 | by being given away. It increases in you as you give it to your | brothers. Since thoughts do not have to be conscious to exist, your |
| Tx:5.55 | me. You will forsake yourselves and God if you forsake any of your | brothers. You are more than your brother's keeper. In fact, you do |
| Tx:5.56 | opposing thoughts. The Holy Spirit does not let you forsake your | brothers. Therefore, you can really share only the parts of your |
| Tx:5.73 | of His fairness, and let me teach you how to share it with your | brothers. How else can the chance to claim it for yourself be given |
| Tx:5.91 | giving will heal you. Sanity is wholeness, and the sanity of your | brothers is yours. |
| Tx:6.10 | therefore made it forever true for me. Help me to teach it to our | brothers in the name of the Kingdom of God, but first believe that it |
| Tx:6.11 | My | brothers slept during the so-called “agony in the garden,” but I |
| Tx:6.11 | not being at all in need of bodily protection. I am sorry when my | brothers do not share my decision to hear only one voice, because it |
| Tx:6.15 | My | brothers and yours are constantly engaged in justifying the |
| Tx:6.27 | is solely a device of the ego to make you feel different from your | brothers and separated from them. The ego justifies this on the |
| Tx:6.28 | projection only to distort your perception both of yourself and your | brothers. The process begins by excluding something [you think] |
| Tx:6.28 | which you do not want and leads directly to excluding you from your | brothers. We have learned, however, that there is another use of |
| Tx:6.48 | with it, and the ego feels badly in need of allies though not of | brothers. Perceiving something alien to itself in your mind, the ego |
| Tx:7.27 | therefore in need of allies. You who are not at war must look for | brothers and recognize all whom you see as brothers, because only |
| Tx:7.27 | not at war must look for brothers and recognize all whom you see as | brothers, because only equals are at peace. |
| Tx:7.28 | everything, they cannot compete. Yet if they perceive any of their | brothers as anything other than their perfect equals, the idea of |
| Tx:7.29 | thought, because it is a reflection of perfect Thought. It sees only | brothers, because it sees only in its own light. |
| Tx:7.38 | the ego has induced in you by not recognizing its existence in your | brothers. This strengthens the Holy Spirit in both of you, because it |
| Tx:7.47 | The unhealed healer wants gratitude from his | brothers, but he is not grateful to them. This is because he thinks |
| Tx:7.51 | Him. To forget me is to forget yourself and Him Who created you. Our | brothers are forgetful. That is why they need your remembrance of me |
| Tx:7.52 | learn of the truth in you. The mind we share is shared by all our | brothers, and as we see them truly, they will be healed. Let your |
| Tx:7.77 | they are deprived. Give therefore of your abundance and teach your | brothers theirs. Do not share their delusions of scarcity, or you |
| Tx:7.79 | you have been treacherous to your Creator, it believes that your | brothers, who are as incapable of this as you are, are out to take |
| Tx:7.92 | The Soul knows that the consciousness of all its | brothers is included in its own, as it is included in God. The power |
| Tx:7.97 | are reflections both of your own proper identification with your | brothers and of your own awareness that your identification is |
| Tx:7.112 | You do not know your creations, because you do not know your | brothers, who created them with you. We said before that only the |
| Tx:8.23 | your wrong decisions are undone, completely releasing you and your | brothers from every imprisoning thought any part of the Sonship has |
| Tx:8.42 | We begin the journey back by setting out together and gather in our | brothers as we continue together. Every gain in our strength is |
| Tx:8.53 | of himself in this way, he is belittling himself and seeing his | brothers as similarly belittled. Since he can find himself only in |
| Tx:8.54 | Holy Spirit reaches through it to others. You do not perceive your | brothers as the Holy Spirit does, because you do not interpret their |
| Tx:8.79 | The Holy Spirit teaches you to use your body only to reach your | brothers, so He can teach His message through you. This will heal |
| Tx:8.113 | in you, who speaks to me through you. If you would hear me, hear my | brothers in whom God's Voice speaks. The answer to all prayers lies |
| Tx:8.114 | Believe in your | brothers because I believe in you, and you will learn that my belief |
| Tx:9.33 | If your | brothers are part of you, will you accept them? Only they can teach |
| Tx:9.34 | as yours, but meanwhile you will judge it as you judge your | brothers' and will accept it as you accept theirs. |
| Tx:9.38 | it, He must have made it possible and very easy to obtain it. Your | brothers are everywhere. You do not have to seek far for salvation. |
| Tx:9.38 | your will? And is it possible that this is not also the will of your | brothers? |
| Tx:9.75 | the remembrance of Him awakens throughout the Sonship. Heal your | brothers simply by accepting God for them. |
| Tx:9.78 | you. To obtain this you are willing to attack the divinity of your | brothers and thus lose sight of yours. And you are willing to keep it |
| Tx:9.84 | other gods before Him. You can give up the god of sickness for your | brothers; in fact, you would have to do so if you give him up for |
| Tx:9.91 | a Son of God who has laid aside all false gods and who calls on his | brothers to do likewise. It is an act of faith, because it is the |
| Tx:9.94 | it is the message you want. You may believe that you judge your | brothers by the messages they give you, but you have judged them by |
| Tx:9.94 | of the spark that brings depression, and whenever you see your | brothers without it, you are denying God. |
| Tx:9.99 | He created, for His Son is everywhere. Look with peace upon your | brothers, and God will come rushing into your heart in gratitude for |
| Tx:10.24 | wanders homelessly. At home in God, he is lonely, and amid all his | brothers, he is friendless. Would God let this be real if He did not |
| Tx:10.30 | All your | brothers must enter with you, for until you have accepted them, you |
| Tx:10.32 | remembering that it is yours because it is His, and join with your | brothers in His peace. |
| Tx:10.35 | If your | brothers are part of you and you blame them for your deprivation, you |
| Tx:10.60 | join in the resurrection or the crucifixion? Would you condemn your | brothers or free them? Would you transcend your prison and ascend to |
| Tx:10.88 | laughs happily at his own fear. You, my children, are afraid of your | brothers and of your Father and of yourselves. But you are merely |
| Tx:10.89 | truth again when they are frightened. It is not the reality of your | brothers or your Father or yourself which frightens you. You do not |
| Tx:11.15 | of yourself is thus the way to remember God. For you forgot your | brothers with Him, and God's answer to your forgetting is but the way |
| Tx:11.27 | Recognize what does not matter, and if your | brothers ask you for something “outrageous,” do it because it does |
| Tx:11.40 | you yours, for your mission is the same as His. By guiding your | brothers home, you are but following Him. |
| Tx:11.43 | yourself as weakened. No longer perceiving yourself and all your | brothers as equal and regarding yourself as weaker, you attempt to |
| Tx:11.71 | Yet in that same place, you could have looked upon me and all your | brothers in the perfect safety of the mind which created us. For we |
| Tx:12.18 | of Him. You will find this place of truth as you see it in your | brothers, for though they may deceive themselves, like you they long |
| Tx:12.27 | In effect, if you follow the ego's dictates, you will react to your | brothers as though they were someone else, and this will surely |
| Tx:12.34 | were never real, for they are made up only of his reactions to his | brothers and do not include their reactions to him. Therefore he does |
| Tx:12.36 | Yet what is within they do not see, for the reality of their | brothers they cannot see. |
| Tx:12.37 | the figures of fear you have invited into it, and all the love your | brothers offer you, you do not see. As you look with open eyes upon |
| Tx:12.40 | You will see all that you denied in your | brothers because you denied it in yourself. For you will love them, |
| Tx:12.46 | holding it in your minds, see it as a dark cloud that shrouds your | brothers and conceals their reality from your sight. |
| Tx:12.51 | The present offers you your | brothers in the light that would unite you with them and free you |
| Tx:12.52 | salvation, for now is the release from time. Reach out to all your | brothers and touch them with the touch of Christ. In timeless union |
| Tx:12.52 | There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is whole. Call all your | brothers to witness to his wholeness, as I am calling you to join |
| Tx:12.53 | Shine on your | brothers in remembrance of your Creator, for you will remember Him as |
| Tx:12.56 | dream of isolation because your eyes are closed. You do not see your | brothers, and in the darkness you cannot look upon the light you gave |
| Tx:12.75 | that is the gift of God. Hold me dear, for what except your | brothers can you need? We will restore to you the peace of mind that |
| Tx:12.75 | a veil of light across the world's sad face, in which we hide our | brothers from the world, and it from them. |
| Tx:13.8 | When you have seen your | brothers as yourself, you will be released to knowledge, having |
| Tx:13.8 | light you saw outside yourself in every miracle you offered to your | brothers will be returned to you. And knowing that the light is in |
| Tx:13.9 | As miracles in this world join you to your | brothers, so do your creations establish your fatherhood in Heaven. |
| Tx:13.16 | make you free of it, accept His offer of Atonement for all your | brothers. For so you learn that it is true for you. Remember always |
| Tx:13.18 | you and bids you not to look. Instead, it bids you look upon your | brothers and see the guilt in them. Yet this you cannot do without |
| Tx:13.18 | this you cannot do without remaining blind. For those who see their | brothers in the dark, and guilty in the dark in which they shroud |
| Tx:13.23 | meaning in the present. Yet you let them stand between you and your | brothers, with whom you find no real relationships at all. Can you |
| Tx:13.23 | you find no real relationships at all. Can you expect to use your | brothers as a means to “solve” the past and still to see them as they |
| Tx:13.23 | as they really are? Salvation is not found by those who use their | brothers to resolve problems which are not there. You wanted not |
| Tx:13.28 | not remember your Father's Love. And looking without mercy upon your | brothers, you do not remember how much you love Him. Yet it is |
| Tx:13.59 | into the darkness and lets it shine on you. And as it shines, your | brothers see it, and realizing that this light is not what you have |
| Tx:13.62 | Him in the holy task of bringing light to darkness. For, like your | brothers, you do not realize the light has come and freed you from |
| Tx:13.63 | Behold your | brothers in their freedom and learn of them how to be free of |
| Tx:15.13 | on behalf of your release while you are unwilling to give it to your | brothers on behalf of theirs. For the instant of holiness is shared, |
| Tx:15.18 | you. You who have spent days, hours, and even years in chaining your | brothers to your egos in an attempt to support it and uphold its |
| Tx:15.18 | Source of strength. In the holy instant, you will unchain all your | brothers and refuse to support either their weakness or your own. |
| Tx:15.19 | You do not realize how much you have misused your | brothers by seeing them as sources of ego support. As a result, they |
| Tx:15.53 | the frame of reference you have built by which to judge your | brothers. Once this is gone, the Holy Spirit substitutes His frame of |
| Tx:15.54 | Yet in the holy instant, you unite directly with God, and all your | brothers join in Christ. Those who are joined in Christ are in no way |
| Tx:15.57 | doubt. But forget not that my faith must be as perfect in all your | brothers as it is in you, or it would be a limited gift to you. In |
| Tx:15.60 | The holy instant thus becomes a lesson in how to hold all of your | brothers in your mind, experiencing not loss, but completion. From |
| Tx:15.64 | God is remembered, and the language of communication with all your | brothers is remembered with Him. For communication is remembered |
| Tx:15.64 | vanishes. And this permits your Source and that of all your | brothers to replace it in your awareness. God and the power of God |
| Tx:15.85 | As the ego would limit your perception of your | brothers to the body, so would the Holy Spirit release your vision |
| Tx:15.94 | 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 was born to give. |
| Tx:15.101 | safety by attempting to protect yourself from where it is not. Your | brothers and your Father have become very fearful to you. And you |
| Tx:15.104 | with God. Through guilt you exclude your Father and your | brothers from yourself. Through peace you invite them back and |
| Tx:15.108 | The lesson I was born to teach and still would teach to all my | brothers is that sacrifice is nowhere and love is everywhere. For |
| Tx:16.37 | with them is without guilt, and this enables you to look on all your | brothers with gratitude because your creations were created in union |
| Tx:16.63 | the only value which the body has is to enable you to bring your | brothers to the bridge with you and to be released together there. |
| Tx:16.78 | that must be forgiven are the illusions you have held against your | brothers. Their reality has no past, and only illusions can be |
| Tx:16.78 | anyone, for He is incapable of illusions of any kind. Release your | brothers from the slavery of their illusions by forgiving them for |
| Tx:17.1 | forgiven, but awakened. In his dreams he has betrayed himself, his | brothers, and his God. Yet what is done in dreams has not been really |
| Tx:17.26 | My holy | brothers, I would enter into all your relationships and step between |
| Tx:17.26 | be real to you, and let me bring reality to your perception of your | brothers. They were not created to enable you to hurt yourselves |
| Tx:18.10 | the holy place in which you stand together. God is with you, my | brothers. Let us join in Him in peace and gratitude and accept His |
| Tx:19.37 | try to impose. Others will seem to arise from elsewhere—from your | brothers and from various aspects of the world outside. Yet peace |
| Tx:19.39 | apart from Him. You cannot see the Holy Spirit, but you can see your | brothers truly. And the light in them will show you all that you need |
| Tx:19.41 | of sand, a wall of dust, a tiny seeming barrier, stand between your | brothers and salvation? And yet, it is this little remnant of attack |
| Tx:19.85 | the life that He created against the ego's savage wish to kill. My | brothers, children of our Father, this is a dream of death. There is |
| Tx:19.101 | all the pity and forgiveness that would heal it gives way to fear. | Brothers, you need forgiveness of each other, for you will share in |
| Tx:20.26 | free in Paradise. And here would I unite with you, my friends, my | brothers, and my Self. Your gift unto each other has given me the |
| Tx:20.34 | only to have His laws perfectly fulfilled in them and all their | brothers. Think you when this has been achieved that you will rest |
| Tx:20.49 | and seeks for crumbs to keep itself alive. Here it would drag its | brothers, holding them here in its idolatry. Here it is “safe,” for |
| Tx:20.51 | seeming firm foundation of their temple begin to shake and loosen. | Brothers, you tremble with them. Yet what you fear is but the herald |
| Tx:21.7 | so it is with all who see the body as all they have and all their | brothers have. They try to reach each other, and they fail and fail |
| Tx:21.34 | wills for you. You made perception that you might choose among your | brothers and seek for sin with them. The Holy Spirit sees perception |
| Tx:21.36 | Those who would free their | brothers from the body can have no fear. They have renounced the |
| Tx:21.36 | to let all limitations be removed. Desiring to look upon their | brothers in holiness, the power of belief and faith goes far beyond |
| Tx:21.37 | sacrifice, for this is how they think their purpose is accomplished. | Brothers, the Holy Spirit knows that sacrifice brings nothing. He |
| Tx:21.43 | to bother to pretend it is your friend. Those who have joined their | brothers have detached themselves from their belief that their |
| Tx:22.1 | to make a different error, and one the other cannot understand. | Brothers, it is the same, made by the same, and forgiven for its |
| Tx:22.2 | them. Who has need for sin? Only the lonely and alone who see their | brothers different from themselves. It is this difference, seen but |
| Tx:22.12 | Think what is given you, my holy | brothers. This child will teach you what you do not understand and |
| Tx:23.10 | Brothers, the war against yourself is almost over. The journey's end | |
| Tx:23.36 | them. And when you look at what they say, they cannot be believed. | Brothers, you do believe them. For how else could you perceive the |
| Tx:23.40 | Brothers, take not one step in the descent to hell. For having taken | |
| Tx:24.24 | here but unto you and you alone, apart and separate from all your | brothers, safe from all intrusions of sanity upon illusions, safe |
| Tx:24.46 | that holds your brother's in your own. Christ's hand holds all His | brothers in Himself. He gives them vision for their sightless eyes |
| Tx:25.8 | understand. Father and Son and Holy Spirit are as One, as all your | brothers join as one in truth. Christ and His Father never have been |
| Tx:25.85 | Unless you think that all your | brothers have an equal right to miracles with you, you will not claim |
| Tx:27.15 | really innocent. The sick remain accusers. They cannot forgive their | brothers and themselves as well. For no one in whom true forgiveness |
| Tx:28.34 | of the world. The door is open, not to thieves but to your starving | brothers who mistook for gold the shining of a pebble and who stored |
| Tx:28.61 | The beautiful relationship you have with all your | brothers is a part of you because it is a part of God Himself. Are |
| Tx:29.50 | making real the pictures it projects outside itself? Save time, my | brothers; learn what time is for. And speed the end of idols in a |
| Tx:29.67 | over. And the forms which enter in the dream are now perceived as | brothers, not in judgment but in love. |
| Tx:30.63 | When | brothers join in purpose in the world of fear, they stand already at |
| Tx:30.88 | so seemingly unsafe that fear must rise. Do not continue thus, my | brothers. We have one Interpreter. And through His use of symbols are |
| Tx:30.88 | the same to all of us. Our common language lets us speak to all our | brothers and to understand with them forgiveness has been given to us |
| Tx:31.84 | the saviors of the world, or would remain in hell and hold your | brothers there. |
| Tx:31.93 | in you unveil his eyes and let him look upon the Christ in him. My | brothers in salvation, do not fail to hear my voice and listen to my |
| Tx:31.94 | thorny roads we traveled on before the Christ appeared. Hear me, my | brothers, hear and join with me. God has ordained I cannot call in |
| Tx:31.95 | I thank You, Father, for these holy ones who are my | brothers as they are Your Sons. My faith in them is Yours. I am as |
| Tx:31.96 | can You fail in what is but Your Will? I give You thanks for what my | brothers are. And as each one elects to join with me, the song of |
| W1:57.6 | of God's. I am very holy. As I share the peace of the world with my | brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep |
| W1:73.2 | to traffic in grievances and stand between your awareness and your | brothers' reality. Beholding them, you do not know your brothers nor |
| W1:73.2 | and your brothers' reality. Beholding them, you do not know your | brothers nor your Self. |
| W1:95.17 | will be. You are One Self, the holy Son of God, united with your | brothers in this Self, united with your Father in His Will. |
| W1:97.11 | you, reminding you that you are Spirit, one with Him and God, your | brothers and your Self. Listen for His assurance every time you speak |
| W1:105.7 | will start a little differently. Begin today by thinking of those | brothers who have been denied by you the peace and joy that are their |
| W1:106.5 | today. Today allow your Father's ancient pledge to you and all your | brothers to be kept. Hear Him today, and listen to the Word which |
| W1:109.9 | You rest within the peace of God today and call upon your | brothers from your rest, to draw them to their rest along with you. |
| W1:109.10 | them come from far across the world, and near as well—your distant | brothers and your closest friends—bid them all enter here and rest |
| W1:124.13 | Let me remember I am one with God, at one with all my | brothers and my Self, in everlasting holiness and peace. |
| W1:126.11 | aim which makes this day of special value to yourself and all your | brothers. Do not let your mind forget this goal for long, but tell |
| W1:127.10 | Now are they all made free along with us. Now are they all our | brothers in God's Love. |
| W1:132.19 | You need not realize that healing comes to many | brothers far across the world as well as to the ones you see near by |
| W1:134.14 | practicing becomes the footsteps lightening up the way for all our | brothers, who will follow us to the reality we share with them. |
| W1:135.21 | until the world is lighted up with joy. And gladly will our | brothers lay aside their cumbersome defenses which availed them |
| W1:137.17 | When I am healed, I am not healed alone. And I would bless my | brothers, for I would be healed with them as they are healed with me. |
| W1:139.9 | Fail not your | brothers, or you fail yourself. Look lovingly on them that they may |
| W1:139.12 | are all minds as one and in our memory is the recall how dear our | brothers are to us in truth, how much a part of us is every mind, how |
| W1:153.11 | It is the function of God's ministers to help their | brothers choose as they have done. God has elected all, but few have |
| W1:153.11 | For you will not see the light until you offer it to all your | brothers. As they take it from your hands, so will you recognize it |
| W1:153.21 | the love and strength and peace that shine from them to all their | brothers come from Him. These are His gifts to you. Defenselessness |
| W1:155.7 | All this steps back as truth comes forth in you to lead your | brothers from the ways of death and set them on the way to happiness. |
| W1:155.9 | to walk ahead of truth and let illusions be your guide. Your holy | brothers have been given you to follow in your footsteps as you walk |
| W1:155.11 | not lose our way. For as truth goes before us, so it goes before our | brothers who will follow us. |
| W1:155.13 | Son. Forget not He has placed His hand in yours and given you your | brothers in His trust that you are worthy of His trust in you. He |
| W1:155.13 | your pathway certain and your goal secure. You will not fail your | brothers nor your Self. |
| W1:161.4 | One brother is all | brothers. Every mind contains all minds, for every mind is one. Such |
| W1:164.6 | Brothers, this day is sacred to the world. Your vision, given you | |
| W1:170.14 | from You alone. We choose again and make our choice for all our | brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring them Your salvation |
| W1:R5.10 | our time and effort to them. And together we will teach them to our | brothers. God would not have Heaven incomplete. It waits for you, as |
| W1:181.1 | Trusting your | brothers is essential to establishing and holding up your faith in |
| W1:181.7 | It is not this that I would look upon. I trust my | brothers, who are one with me. |
| W1:183.1 | gives his son his name, and thus identifies the son with him. His | brothers share his name, and thus are they united in a bond to which |
| W1:185.13 | He with you. And you will also know you share one will with all your | brothers, whose intent is yours. |
| W1:190.6 | My holy | brothers, think of this awhile—the world you see does nothing. It |
| W1:191.12 | the suffering there. Is not your heart willing to bring your weary | brothers rest? |
| W1:195.7 | Then let our | brothers lean their tired heads against our shoulders as they rest a |
| W1:199.8 | practice well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for today. Your | brothers stand released with you in it; the world is blessed along |
| W1:200.1 | [181] I trust my | brothers, who are one with me. No one but is my brother. I am blessed |
| W2:247.2 | So would I look on everyone today. My | brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood created them and gave them |
| W2:260.1 | again before Christ's vision, through which I would look upon my | brothers and myself today. |
| W2:263.2 | pass them by in innocence and walk together to our Father's house as | brothers and the holy Sons of God. |
| W2:264.2 | My | brothers, join with me in this today. This is salvation's prayer. |
| W2:276.2 | Your Word is mine. And it is this that I would speak to all my | brothers, who are given me to cherish as my own, as I am loved and |
| W2:315.2 | gifts that come to me today and every day from every Son of God. My | brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me. Now may I offer them |
| W2:316.1 | As every gift my | brothers give is mine, so every gift I give belongs to me. Each one |
| W2:317.1 | will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my | brothers and already mine as well. |
| W2:324.1 | loving Voice will always call me back and guide my feet aright. My | brothers all can follow in the way I lead them. Yet I merely follow |
| W2:325.1 | home where he can rest a while before he journeys on and help his | brothers walk ahead with him and find the way to Heaven and to God. |
| W2:344.1 | give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my forgiven | brothers fill my store with Heaven's treasures, which alone are real. |
| W2:WAI.3 | And this, our gift, is therefore given us. We look on everyone as | brothers and perceive all things as kindly and as good. We do not |
| W2:WAI.4 | world. And from the oneness that we have attained we call to all our | brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate our joy. |
| W2:FL.2 | that truth points out to us. And let us be the leaders of our many | brothers who are seeking for the way but find it not. |
| M:4.13 | is impossible. Judgment implies that you have been deceived in your | brothers. How then could you not have been deceived in yourself? |
| M:4.13 | for who could judge otherwise? Without judgment are all men | brothers, for who is there who stands apart? Judgment destroys |
| M:5.9 | merely give what has been given them. Very gently they call to their | brothers to turn away from death. Behold, you Son of God, what life |
| M:5.10 | truth in their minds reaches out to the truth in the minds of their | brothers, so that illusions are not reinforced. They are thus brought |
| M:19.3 | All concepts of your | brothers and yourself, all fears of future states, and all concern |
| M:23.6 | one who has become a true and dedicated teacher of God forgets his | brothers. Yet what he can offer them is limited by what he learns |
brought (145) | ||
| Tx:2.15 | lies the real justification for his escape from fear. The escape is | brought about by his acceptance of the Atonement, which places him in |
| Tx:2.38 | they could not withstand the strength of the attack and had to be | brought back. Angels came, too, but their protection did not suffice |
| Tx:2.66 | therefore unamenable to independent learning. It is, however, easily | brought into alignment with a mind which has learned to look beyond |
| Tx:2.72 | the unimportant to a higher level than it warrants. You have thus | brought it under your will, where it does not belong. This means that |
| Tx:2.75 | is not. You should ask instead for help in the conditions which have | brought the fear about. These conditions always entail a separated |
| Tx:2.106 | understand it. Judgment is not an essential attribute of God. Man | brought judgment into being only because of the separation. After the |
| Tx:3.64 | his happier dreams. Nothing that you have refused to accept can be | brought into awareness. It does not follow that it is dangerous, but |
| Tx:4.64 | be used to attack or protect, to hurt or to heal. The ego should be | brought to your judgment and found wanting there. Without your own |
| Tx:4.65 | and only this must be. His Mind shone on you in your creation and | brought your mind into being. His Mind still shines on you and must |
| Tx:4.101 | Him, which would clearly be impossible, but He does want revelation | brought to others. This cannot be done with the actual revelation |
| Tx:6.45 | well, it would be glad, as the Holy Spirit will be glad when He has | brought you home and you no longer need His guidance. The ego does |
| Tx:8.5 | its purpose, are you satisfied with the changes your learning has | brought you? Dissatisfaction with learning outcomes must be a sign of |
| Tx:8.65 | Health is therefore nothing more than united purpose. If the body is | brought under the purpose of the mind, the body becomes whole, |
| Tx:10.51 | the ego's goal, which you have pursued quite diligently, has [only] | brought you fear, and it becomes difficult to maintain that fear is |
| Tx:12.55 | unlimited and spreads across this world in quiet joy. All those you | brought with you will shine on you, and you will shine on them in |
| Tx:12.55 | shine on you, and you will shine on them in gratitude because they | brought you here. Your light will join with theirs in power so |
| Tx:13.37 | is a sense of peace so deep that no dream in this world has ever | brought even a dim imagining of what it is. |
| Tx:14.17 | nothing is fearful. Attack will always yield to love if it is | brought to love, not hidden from it. There is no darkness that the |
| Tx:14.19 | The light of guiltlessness shines guilt away because, when they are | brought together, the truth of one must make the falsity of its |
| Tx:14.24 | knowledge or ignorance are yours, but not both. Opposites must be | brought together and not kept apart. For their separation is only in |
| Tx:14.24 | when knowledge dawns. Perception is the medium by which ignorance is | brought to knowledge. Yet the perception must be without deceit, for |
| Tx:14.26 | was not a point of view, but rather a certainty. Uncertainty | brought to certainty does not retain any conviction of reality. |
| Tx:14.27 | are both maintained. It has been recognized that if they were | brought together their joint acceptance would become impossible. But |
| Tx:14.32 | not power from your mind, but let all that would hide your glory be | brought to the judgment of the Holy Spirit and there undone. Whom He |
| Tx:14.33 | and His Son. No altar stands to God without His Son. And nothing | brought there that is not equally worthy of both but will be replaced |
| Tx:14.35 | You may choose to lead yourselves astray, but you can only be | brought together by the Guide appointed for you. He will surely lead |
| Tx:14.36 | for truth. And truth will make this plain to you as you are | brought into the place where you must meet with truth. And there you |
| Tx:14.37 | for nothing can coexist beside it. Here your meager offerings are | brought together with the gift of God, and only what is worthy of the |
| Tx:14.45 | calls forth. Its one response is healing, without regard for what is | brought to it. Those who have learned to offer only healing because |
| Tx:14.61 | a condition in which seeing becomes impossible. You who have not yet | brought all of the darkness you have taught yourselves unto the light |
| Tx:14.62 | is yours. But to accomplish this, all your dark lessons must be | brought willingly to truth and joyously laid down by hands open to |
| Tx:14.69 | And every fear or pain or trial you have has been undone. He has | brought all of them to light, having accepted them instead of you and |
| Tx:15.101 | your thoughts and the Thought that has been given you. When they are | brought together and perceived where they are, the choice between |
| Tx:15.103 | as our relationship with our Father, and as powerful. Pain will be | brought to us and disappear in our presence, and without pain there |
| Tx:16.17 | The power of holiness and the weakness of attack have both been | brought into awareness. And this has been accomplished in minds |
| Tx:16.17 | whenever you have listened to His interpretation, the results have | brought you joy. Would you prefer the results of your interpretation, |
| Tx:16.19 | to solve anything yourself and been successful. Is it not time you | brought these facts together and made sense of them? |
| Tx:17.6 | held outside the truth to Him who knows the truth and in Whom all is | brought to truth. [Salvation from separation will be complete or will |
| Tx:17.7 | you remember that made your heart seem to sing with joy has ever | brought you even a little part of the happiness this sight will bring |
| Tx:17.14 | bring with you to demonstrate he did what he did not. Because you | brought them, you will hear them. And you who kept them by your own |
| Tx:17.21 | step in His undoing is the separation more and more undone and union | brought closer. He is not at all confused by any “reasons” for |
| Tx:17.40 | when both are seen in relation to each other. The dark picture | brought to light is not perceived as fearful, but the fact that it is |
| Tx:17.40 | not perceived as fearful, but the fact that it is just a picture is | brought home at last. And what you see there, you will recognize as |
| Tx:17.60 | helps you meet it. It is quite noticeable that this approach has | brought you closer to the Holy Spirit's sorting out of truth and |
| Tx:17.66 | at all concerned with that. The error does not matter. Faithlessness | brought to faith will never interfere with truth. But faithlessness |
| Tx:18.4 | it once was one and still is what it was. That one error, which | brought truth to illusion, infinity to time, and life to death, was |
| Tx:18.6 | and upside-down arose from this? [It was inevitable.] For truth | brought to this could only remain within in quiet and take no part in |
| Tx:18.11 | love. Heaven has entered quietly, for all illusions have been gently | brought unto the truth in you and love has shined upon you, blessing |
| Tx:18.13 | you with the glowing purpose in which you join. The holy light that | brought you together must extend, as you accepted it. |
| Tx:18.30 | function of bringing light to darkness. The darkness in you has been | brought to light. Carry it back to darkness from the holy instant to |
| Tx:18.30 | light. Carry it back to darkness from the holy instant to which you | brought it. We are made whole in our desire to make whole. Let not |
| Tx:18.79 | but they will not depart as they had come, alone. The love they | brought with them will stay with them, as it will stay with you. And |
| Tx:18.85 | it. Be you not separate, for the One Who does surround it has | brought union to you, returning your little offering of darkness to |
| Tx:18.97 | from the world of shadows, and its unholy purpose has been safely | brought through the barriers of guilt, washed with forgiveness, and |
| Tx:19.1 | attained, for what is wholly dedicated to truth as its only goal is | brought to truth by faith. This faith encompasses everyone involved, |
| Tx:19.4 | Your faithlessness has thus opposed the Holy Spirit's purpose and | brought illusions centered on the body to stand between you. And the |
| Tx:19.7 | must be, are recognized as dedication to illusion and given up when | brought to truth and seen as totally irreconcilable with truth in any |
| Tx:19.22 | But if the mistake is given the status of truth, to what can it be | brought? The “holiness” of sin is kept in place by just this strange |
| Tx:19.22 | this strange device. As truth it is inviolate, and everything is | brought to it for judgment. As a mistake, it must be brought to |
| Tx:19.22 | everything is brought to it for judgment. As a mistake, it must be | brought to truth. It is impossible to have faith in sin, for sin is |
| Tx:19.36 | Here is the rest that waits for all after the journey. And it is | brought nearer to all by your relationship. |
| Tx:19.64 | paid very dearly for your illusions, and nothing you have paid for | brought you peace. Are you not glad that Heaven cannot be sacrificed, |
| Tx:19.97 | and learn it has no power to keep you from the truth. The Guide Who | brought you here remains with you, and when you raise your eyes, you |
| Tx:19.98 | in a holy instant has led you. And let us join in faith that He Who | brought us here together will offer you the innocence you need and |
| Tx:20.37 | Son gradually join in time, and with each joining is the end of time | brought nearer. Each miracle of joining is a mighty herald of |
| Tx:20.41 | while you look upon each other thus, the means and end have not been | brought in line. Why should it take so many holy instants to let this |
| Tx:20.58 | said much about discrepancies of means and end and how these must be | brought in line before your holy relationship can bring you only joy. |
| Tx:20.63 | are illusions and reality kept separated. Here are illusions never | brought to truth and always hidden from it. And here in darkness is |
| Tx:20.72 | upon with vision falls gently into place according to the laws | brought to it by His calm and certain sight. The end for everything |
