Tx:4.47 The upper level of the unconscious thus contains the  Call of God as well as the call of the body. That is why the basic
Tx:4.47  of the unconscious thus contains the Call of God as well as the  call of the body. That is why the basic conflict between love and
Tx:4.51  because it asks only for what He has already willed. Those who  call truly are always answered. Thou shalt have no other gods before
Tx:4.53  surely ask me truly. I will come in response to a single unequivocal  call. Watch carefully and see what it is you are really asking for.
Tx:5.2 Those who attempt to heal without being wholly joyous themselves  call forth different kinds of responses at the same time and thus
Tx:5.15  it does not obstruct it in any way. [Third, it is an unequivocal  call to love. Every other voice is still.]
Tx:5.18  Father and Son. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of joy. He is the  Call to return with which God blessed the minds of His separated
Tx:5.18  before that it had only being and would not have understood the  call to right thinking. The Holy Spirit was God's Answer to the
Tx:5.19  began at the same time. When man made the ego, God placed in him the  call to joy. This call is so strong that the ego always dissolves at
Tx:5.19  time. When man made the ego, God placed in him the call to joy. This  call is so strong that the ego always dissolves at its sound. That is
Tx:5.20  learners as they are as Souls. The Voice of the Holy Spirit is the  call to Atonement or the restoration of the integrity of the mind.
Tx:5.20  is complete and the whole Sonship is healed, there will be no  call to return, but what God creates is eternal. The Holy Spirit will
Tx:5.23  was not the voice of His Will for which the Holy Spirit speaks. The  call to return is stronger than the call to depart, but it speaks in
Tx:5.23  the Holy Spirit speaks. The call to return is stronger than the  call to depart, but it speaks in a different way.
Tx:5.26  as it is in Heaven. Both Heaven and earth are in you, because the  call of both is in your will and therefore in your mind. The Voice
Tx:5.26  voices, and you must choose at which altar you will to serve. The  call you answer now is an evaluation because it is a decision. The
Tx:5.26  The decision itself is very simple. It is made on the basis of which  call is worth more to you.
Tx:5.28  does not come from sleeping but from waking. The Holy Spirit is the  call to awake and be glad. The world is very tired, because it is the
Tx:5.28  idea of weariness. Our task is the joyous one of waking it to the  Call for God. Everyone will answer the Call of the Holy Spirit, or
Tx:5.28  one of waking it to the Call for God. Everyone will answer the  Call of the Holy Spirit, or the Sonship cannot be as one. What better
Tx:5.29  as I am teaching you. When you are tempted by the wrong voice,  call on me to remind you how to heal by sharing my decision and
Tx:5.31  What we can accomplish together has no limits, because the  Call for God is the call to the unlimited. Child of God, my message
Tx:5.31  accomplish together has no limits, because the Call for God is the  call to the unlimited. Child of God, my message is for you to hear
Tx:5.33  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 part of God,
Tx:5.34 Your brother may have dissociated the  Call for God, just as you have. The dissociation is healed in both of
Tx:5.34  The dissociation is healed in both of you as you become aware of the  Call for God in him and thus acknowledge its being. There are two
Tx:5.40 The Holy Spirit is as vigilant as the ego to the  call of danger, opposing it with His strength, just as the ego
Tx:5.53  of the attraction of the parts of the Sonship, which hear the  call of the Holy Spirit to be as One.
Tx:5.54  teach what I have learned, which arose in me because I learned it. I  call upon you to teach what you have learned, because by so doing you
Tx:5.88  regress, the concept can also be interpreted as an irrevocable  call to sanity which the mind cannot lose. Freud himself could not
Tx:6.5 I have already told you that you can always  call on me to share my decision and thus make it stronger. I also
Tx:6.19  way, you are using it as a weapon for assault rather than as the  call for peace for which it was intended. The Apostles often
Tx:6.22  into the thought system toward which I am guiding you. I do not  call for martyrs but for teachers. No one is “punished” for sins, and
Tx:6.58  need not be afraid of dreams. Then when bad dreams come, they will  call on the light themselves to dispel them.
Tx:6.60  and those who lack wisdom are children. Yet He always answers their  call, and His dependability makes them more certain. Children do
Tx:6.60  among dreams. He merely shines them away. His light is always the  call to awake, whatever you have been dreaming. Nothing lasting lies
Tx:6.95  effort against it. Only this can cancel out the need for effort and  call upon the being which you both have and are. This recognition is
Tx:7.77  born of the [love of Him for whom] He speaks. Every attack is a  call for His patience, since only His patience can translate attack
Tx:7.110  and touch and remember are literally denying Heaven to yourselves. I  call upon you again to remember that I have chosen you to teach the
Tx:8.3  be removed from your mind for you. Every response to the ego is a  call to war, and war does deprive you of peace. Yet in this war there
Tx:8.15  runs easily and gladly through the Kingdom in answer to the  call of God. This is the natural response of every Son of God to the
Tx:8.74  of witnesses should be suspect from the beginning. The ego does not  call upon witnesses who would disagree with its case, nor does the
Tx:8.94  have. We have emphasized many times that the Holy Spirit will never  call upon you to sacrifice anything. But if you ask the sacrifice of
Tx:9.33  and your learning is the result of what you taught them. What you  call upon in them, you call upon in yourself. And as you call upon it
Tx:9.33  the result of what you taught them. What you call upon in them, you  call upon in yourself. And as you call upon it in them, it becomes
Tx:9.33  What you call upon in them, you call upon in yourself. And as you  call upon it in them, it becomes real to you. God has but one Son,
Tx:9.91  because it is the recognition that his brother can do it. It is a  call to the Holy Spirit in his mind, a call to Him which is
Tx:9.91  brother can do it. It is a call to the Holy Spirit in his mind, a  call to Him which is strengthened by this joining. Because the
Tx:9.92  is still as pure as the great light, because it is the remaining  call of creation. Put all your faith in it, and God Himself will
Tx:9.99 Your Father has not denied you. He does not retaliate, but He does  call to you to return. When you think He has not answered your call,
Tx:9.99  does call to you to return. When you think He has not answered your  call, you have not answered His. He calls to you from every part of
Tx:10.4  true Father, Who hath need of you as I have. Will you not answer the  call of love with joy?
Tx:10.67 You will awaken to your own  call, for the Call to awake is within you. If I live in you, you are
Tx:10.67 You will awaken to your own call, for the  Call to awake is within you. If I live in you, you are awake. Yet you
Tx:11.6 Whenever you fail to recognize a  call for help, you are refusing help. Would you maintain that you do
Tx:11.7  a brother in your way, for you cannot help yourselves. But hear his  call for the help of God, and you will recognize your own need for
Tx:11.8  to your awareness. For the sake of your need, then, hear every  call for help as what it is, so God can answer you.
Tx:11.10  is the ultimate value to you in learning to perceive attack as a  call for love. We have learned surely that fear and attack are
Tx:11.10  If only attack produces fear and if you see attack as the  call for help that it is, the unreality of fear must dawn upon you.
Tx:11.10  that it is, the unreality of fear must dawn upon you. For fear is a  call for love in unconscious recognition of what has been denied.
Tx:11.16 Perceive in sickness but another  call for love and offer your brother what he believes he cannot offer
Tx:11.16  in sickness the appeal for health is to recognize in hatred the  call for love. And to give a brother what he really wants is to offer
Tx:11.16  your Father wills you to know your brother as yourself. Answer his  call for love and yours is answered. Healing is the love of Christ
Tx:11.72  you called upon them and they will come to you. I have heard your  call and I have answered it, but you will not look upon me nor hear
Tx:12.12  obscures it, your love for your Father would impel you to answer His  call and leap into Heaven. You believe that attack is salvation to
Tx:12.13  real weakness. For you could not control your joyous response to the  call of love if you heard it, and the whole world you think you
Tx:12.18 Beneath all your grandiosity, which you hold so dear, is your real  call for help. For you call for love to your Father as your Father
Tx:12.18  which you hold so dear, is your real call for help. For you  call for love to your Father as your Father calls you to Himself. In
Tx:12.37  away from it. Yet fear attracts you, and believing it is love, you  call it to yourself. Your private world is filled with the figures of
Tx:12.51  and where there is no sight of what you were, you look at Christ and  call His witnesses to shine on you because you called them forth. And
Tx:12.52  only light. There is no darkness in him anywhere, for he is whole.  Call all your brothers to witness to his wholeness, as I am calling
Tx:12.53  in remembrance of your Creator, for you will remember Him as you  call forth the witnesses to His creation. Those whom you heal bear
Tx:12.53  your Creator, He will return your thanks in His clear answer to your  call. For it can never be that His Son called upon Him and remained
Tx:12.53  never be that His Son called upon Him and remained unanswered. His  call to you is but your call to Him. And in Him you are answered by
Tx:12.53  called upon Him and remained unanswered. His call to you is but your  call to Him. And in Him you are answered by His peace.
Tx:12.55  give it, as it was given you. And as you give it, it shines forth to  call you from the world and follow it. For this light will attract
Tx:12.57  slept, Christ's vision did not leave him. And so it is that he can  call unto himself the witnesses that teach him that he never slept.
Tx:12.62  the power to touch you even here because you love it. And what you  call with love will come to you. Love always answers, being unable to
Tx:12.62  love will come to you. Love always answers, being unable to deny a  call for help or not to hear the cries of pain that rise to it from
Tx:12.67  real world is but your welcome of what always was. Therefore, the  call of joy is in it, and your glad response is your awakening to
Tx:13.15  for punishment instead of love. Nothing can justify insanity, and to  call for punishment upon yourself must be insane.
Tx:13.44  Son lose himself in dreams when God has placed within him the glad  call to waken and be glad? He cannot separate himself from what is in
Tx:13.44  himself from what is in him. His sleep will not withstand the  call to wake. The mission of redemption will be fulfilled as surely
Tx:14.8  keep it from his sight. Bring innocence to light in answer to the  call of the Atonement. Never allow purity to remain hidden, but shine
Tx:14.28  of them, according to His purpose, merely changes them into a  call for what you have attacked with them.
Tx:14.51 The miracle offers exactly the same response to every  call for help. It does not judge the call. It merely recognizes what
Tx:14.51  the same response to every call for help. It does not judge the  call. It merely recognizes what it is and answers accordingly. It
Tx:14.51  what it is and answers accordingly. It does not consider which  call is louder or greater or more important. You may wonder how you
Tx:14.51  limitless. And being always maximal, it offers everything to every  call from anyone. There is no order of difficulty here. A call for
Tx:14.51  to every call from anyone. There is no order of difficulty here. A  call for help is given help.
Tx:14.52  one division into two categories—one of love and the other the  call for love. You cannot safely make this division, for you are much

Tx:14.73  have invited Him to do so by abandoning the ego on behalf of Him.  Call not upon the ego for anything. It is only this that you need do.
Tx:15.34  Call forth in everyone only the remembrance of God and of the Heaven
Tx:15.34  help your brother be, there will you think you are. Hear not his  call for hell and littleness, but only his call for Heaven and
Tx:15.34  you are. Hear not his call for hell and littleness, but only his  call for Heaven and greatness. Forget not that his call is yours, and
Tx:15.34  but only his call for Heaven and greatness. Forget not that his  call is yours, and answer him with me. God's power is forever on the
Tx:15.37  would join with me, by your decision to join in any plan but His. I  call you to fulfill your holy part in the plan that He has given to
Tx:15.39  the measure of the time in which the holy instant will be yours. I  call to you to make the holy instant yours at once, for the release
Tx:15.59  difficult to believe that, when another calls on God for love, your  call remains as strong. Nor do you think that, by God's answer to
Tx:16.40  seems to be. Love calls, but hate would have you stay. Hear not the  call of hate, and see no fantasies[, for your completion lies in
Tx:16.40  for your completion lies in truth and nowhere else]. See in the  call of hate and in every fantasy that rises to delay you but the
Tx:16.40  call of hate and in every fantasy that rises to delay you but the  call for help which rises ceaselessly from you to your Creator. Would
Tx:16.41  and then together we go straight to God in joyous answer to His  call for His completion.
Tx:16.42  from time into eternity. Waken from time and answer fearlessly the  call of Him Who gave eternity to you in your creation. On this side
Tx:16.69  for your release, His perfect willingness is given you.  Call upon Him, for Heaven is at His call. And let Him call on Heaven
Tx:16.69  willingness is given you. Call upon Him, for Heaven is at His  call. And let Him call on Heaven for you.
Tx:16.69  is given you. Call upon Him, for Heaven is at His call. And let Him  call on Heaven for you.
Tx:17.29  aim of occupying your minds so completely that you will not hear the  call of truth. In a sense the special relationship was the ego's
Tx:17.59  is whether or not the ego likes it—is it acceptable, or does it  call for vengeance? The absence of a criterion for outcome set in
Tx:17.67  grow to meet the goal that has been set. The goal's reality will  call this forth, for you will see that peace and faith will not come
Tx:17.69  so must its faith go everywhere with it. The goal's reality will  call forth and accomplish every miracle needed for its fulfillment.
Tx:17.72  or you are faithless to your own relationship. Your faith will  call the others to share your purpose, as this same purpose called
Tx:17.73 You  call for faith because of Him Who walks with you in every situation.
Tx:17.73  goal are set apart from loneliness because the truth has come. Its  call for faith is strong. Use not your faithlessness against it, for
Tx:17.74  withheld and left unused, that faith might answer to the  call of truth. The holy instant is the shining example, the clear and
Tx:17.75  is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it will  call forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace. But rise
Tx:17.77 To you who have acknowledged the  call of your Redeemer, the strain of not responding to His call seems
Tx:17.77  the call of your Redeemer, the strain of not responding to His  call seems to be greater than before. This is not so. Before, the
Tx:17.79  that could hold you back and keep you separate from Him Whose  call you answered.
Tx:18.6  take no part in all the mad projection by which this world was made.  Call it not sin but madness, for such it was, and so it still
Tx:18.12 Whom God has called should hear no substitutes. Their  call is but an echo of the original error which shattered Heaven. And
Tx:18.58  on you whom He encompasses? Everyone has experienced what he would  call a sense of being transported beyond himself. This feeling of
Tx:18.62  joined it where it is and where it led you in answer to its gentle  call to be at peace.
Tx:18.78  you have so little! Should it not, then, be there that you would  call on love to enter? Look at the desert, dry and unproductive,
Tx:19.28 Mistakes are for correction, and they  call for nothing else. What calls for punishment must call for
Tx:19.28  and they call for nothing else. What calls for punishment must  call for nothing. Every mistake must be a call for love. What, then,
Tx:19.28  calls for punishment must call for nothing. Every mistake must be a  call for love. What, then, is sin? What could it be but a mistake you
Tx:19.28  is sin? What could it be but a mistake you would keep hidden—a  call for help that you would keep unheard and thus unanswered? In
Tx:19.38 You will not wait to give him this, for you will  call to him and he will answer you, recognizing in your call the Call
Tx:19.38  for you will call to him and he will answer you, recognizing in your  call the Call of God. And you will draw him in and give him rest, as
Tx:19.38  call to him and he will answer you, recognizing in your call the  Call of God. And you will draw him in and give him rest, as it was
Tx:19.40  you keep it. You are the center from which it radiates outward to  call the others in. You are its home, its tranquil dwelling-place
Tx:19.44  you answered. For from you who answered, He Who answered you would  call. His home is in your holy relationship. Do not attempt to stand
Tx:19.79  leaves not its source. And death is the result of the thought we  call the ego as surely as life is the result of the Thought of God.
Tx:19.84 Those who fear death see not how often and how loudly they  call to it and bid it come to save them from communication. For death
Tx:19.92  out and unremembered. Here is your promise never to allow union to  call you out of separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of
Tx:20.38  speaks in time of what is far beyond it. Two voices raised together  call to the hearts of everyone and let them beat as one. And in that
Tx:20.71  unto the helpless? Is the pitifully little the perfect choice to  call upon for strength? Judgment will seem to make your savior weak.
Tx:21.59  correction. Reason will also tell you when you think you sin, you  call for help. Yet if you will not accept the help you call for, you
Tx:21.59  you sin, you call for help. Yet if you will not accept the help you  call for, you will not believe that it is yours to give. And so you
Tx:23.22  principle, closely related to the first, is the demand that errors  call for punishment and not correction. For the destruction of the
Tx:24.6  make them special is their enemy. Yet they protect its enmity and  call it “friend.” On its behalf they fight against the universe, for
Tx:24.15  You strain your ears to hear its soundless voice, and yet the  Call of God Himself is soundless to you.
Tx:24.32  peace and joy stand there beside the bier on which they sleep and  call them to come forth and waken from their dream of death. Yet they
Tx:24.32  hear nothing. They are lost in dreams of specialness. They hate the  call that would awaken them, and they curse God because He did not
Tx:25.1  that He may be made manifest to those who know Him not, that He may  call to them to come to Him and see Him where they thought their
Tx:25.39  there is no sin in him for you to see. Nor do you hear his plaintive  call, unchanged in content in whatever form the call is made, that
Tx:25.39  hear his plaintive call, unchanged in content in whatever form the  call is made, that you unite with him and join with him in innocence
Tx:25.39  and peace. And yet beneath the ego's senseless shrieks, such is the  call that God has given him that you might hear in him His Call to
Tx:25.39  is the call that God has given him that you might hear in him His  Call to you and answer by returning unto God what is His own.
Tx:25.73  and could not see his worth at all. What honest witnesses could they  call forth to speak on his behalf? And who would come to plead for
Tx:25.75  that He could not doubt His innocence. Your special function is a  call to Him that He may smile on you whose sinlessness He shares. His
Tx:26.15  you could not will he suffer loss. The miracle of justice you  call forth will rest on you as surely as on him. Nor will the Holy
Tx:26.54  It is the wish that you be joined with him and not apart. We  call it “wish” because it still conceives of other choices and has
Tx:26.67 Your ancient name belongs to everyone, as theirs to you.  Call on your brother's name and God will answer, for on Him you call.
Tx:26.67  you. Call on your brother's name and God will answer, for on Him you  call. Could He refuse to answer when He has already answered all who
Tx:26.67  call. Could He refuse to answer when He has already answered all who  call on Him? A miracle can make no change at all. But it can make
Tx:26.67 —the Son of God allowed to be himself and all creation freed to  call upon the Name of God as one.
Tx:26.77  brother, that you may awake in him the Voice that answers to your  call! And think how holy he must be when in him sleeps your own
Tx:27.18  And hopelessness and death must disappear before the ancient clarion  call of life. This call has power far beyond the weak and miserable
Tx:27.18  death must disappear before the ancient clarion call of life. This  call has power far beyond the weak and miserable cry of death and
Tx:27.49  from you who let yourself be healed that it might live. It will  call forth its witnesses to show the face of Christ to you who
Tx:27.55  sound. Except for this, the witnesses of sin are all alike.  Call pleasure pain, and it will hurt. Call pain a pleasure, and the
Tx:27.55  of sin are all alike. Call pleasure pain, and it will hurt.  Call pain a pleasure, and the pain behind the pleasure will be felt
Tx:27.55  which is foremost makes no difference. Sin's witnesses hear but the  call of death.
Tx:27.56  not know. It tells you but the names you gave it to use when you  call forth the witnesses to its reality. You cannot choose among them
Tx:27.56  if it is truth he represents. And otherwise he lies, if you should  call him by the holy Name of God Himself.
Tx:27.59  pleasure, and the throes of death itself are but a single sound—a  call for healing and a plaintive cry for help within a world of
Tx:27.60 The laws which  call them different are dissolved and shown as powerless. The purpose
Tx:27.78  they may protect it, and collect more senseless things that it can  call its own. It looks about for special bodies which can share its
Tx:28.24  the dream, and while it lasts, will wakening be feared. Nor will the  call to wakening be heard, because it seems to be the call to fear.
Tx:28.24  Nor will the call to wakening be heard, because it seems to be the  call to fear.
Tx:28.41  do your part, he will do his, for he will join you where you stand.  Call not to him to meet you in the gap between you, or you must
Tx:28.57 The body represents the gap between the little bit of mind you  call your own and all the rest of what is really yours. You hate it,
Tx:28.61  yourself your wholeness and your health, the Source of help, the  Call to healing, and the Call to heal? Your savior waits for healing,
Tx:28.61  and your health, the Source of help, the Call to healing, and the  Call to heal? Your savior waits for healing, and the world waits with
Tx:30.33  born. God is no enemy to you. He asks no more than that He hear you  call Him “Friend.”
Tx:31.5  lessons in forgiveness have a power mightier than yours because they  call from God and from your Self to you.
Tx:31.8  appeal to be your friend and let it join with you. And never does a  call remain unheard, misunderstood, nor left unanswered in the
Tx:31.8  nor left unanswered in the selfsame tongue in which the  call was made. And you will understand it was this call that everyone
Tx:31.8  in which the call was made. And you will understand it was this  call that everyone and everything within the world has always made,
Tx:31.8  now you see you were mistaken. You had been deceived by forms the  call was hidden in. And so you did not hear it and had lost a friend
Tx:31.9  the universal will that it be whole and that you do not leave its  call unheard. Without your answer is it left to die, as it is saved
Tx:31.9  is saved from death when you have heard its calling as the ancient  call to life and understood that it is but your own. The Christ in
Tx:31.10  upon its father as itself. How wrong are you who fail to hear the  call that echoes past each seeming call to death, that sings behind
Tx:31.10  are you who fail to hear the call that echoes past each seeming  call to death, that sings behind each murderous attack and pleads
Tx:31.10  do not understand Who calls to you beyond each form of hate, each  call to war. Yet you will recognize Him as you give Him answer in the
Tx:31.11  if you believe you want disaster and disunity and pain. Hear not the  call for this within yourself. But listen, rather, to the deeper call
Tx:31.11  the call for this within yourself. But listen, rather, to the deeper  call beyond it that appeals for peace and joy. And all the world will
Tx:31.16 Perhaps you  call it love. Perhaps you think that it is murder justified at last.
Tx:31.22  in need of care. There will be no assault upon your wish to hear a  call that never has been made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy
Tx:31.23  that you taught yourself about the sinfulness in you. Hear but his  call for mercy and release from all the fearful images he holds of
Tx:31.78  innocence within and thus expect to see it everywhere. And so they  call it forth in everyone they look upon that he may be what they
Tx:31.94  me, my brothers, hear and join with me. God has ordained I cannot  call in vain, and in His certainty I rest content. For you will hear,
W1:15.2 This introductory idea to the process of image-making which you  call seeing will not have much meaning for you. You will begin to
W1:47.3  in every aspect of all situations, telling you exactly what to do to  call upon His strength and His protection. There are no exceptions
W1:49.2  where stillness and peace reign forever. Try to hear God's Voice  call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not
W1:51.5  not mean anything because I am trying to think without God. What I  call “my” thoughts are not my real thoughts. My real thoughts are the
W1:52.3  only the past. As I look about, I condemn the world I look upon. I  call this seeing. I hold the past against everyone and everything,
W1:54.4  world I see. Yet that sharing was a sharing of nothing. I can also  call upon my real thoughts, which share everything with everybody. As
W1:54.4  which share everything with everybody. As my thoughts of separation  call to the separation thoughts of others, so my real thoughts awaken
W1:59.3  God. Christ's vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me  call upon this gift today, so that this day may help me to understand
W1:60.5  the day. There is not a moment in which God's Voice ceases to  call on my forgiveness to save me. There is not a moment in which His
W1:62.3 Remember that in every attack you  call upon your own weakness, while every time you forgive you call
W1:62.3  you call upon your own weakness, while every time you forgive you  call upon the strength of Christ in you. Do you not then begin to
W1:69.7  up and carried ahead. Your little effort and small determination  call on the power of the universe to help you, and God Himself will

Tx:18.81  you tried to hide from Heaven straight into Heaven. No part of love  calls on the whole in vain. No Son of God remains outside His
Tx:18.97  set shining and firmly rooted in the world of light. From there, it  calls to you to follow the course it took, lifted high above the
Tx:19.6  through attack, while the other part would heal and therefore  calls upon the mind and not the body. The inevitable compromise is

Tx:22.14  to show you where your Self must be. It is denial of illusions that  calls on truth, for to deny illusions is to recognize that fear is
Tx:24.6  is nothing in the universe unlike itself. But what is different  calls for judgment, and this must come from someone “better,” someone
Tx:24.26  for he holds one error to himself as lovely still. And so he  calls it “unforgivable” and makes it sin. How can he then give his
Tx:24.33  damnation? And do you will that this be done unto your savior? God  calls to you from him to join His Will to save you both from hell.

W2:WICR.5 Our Father  calls to us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in the name

M:1.2  The Call is universal. It goes on all the time everywhere. It  calls for teachers to speak for it and redeem the world. Many hear

M:20.2 —in every way it is totally unlike all previous experiences. It  calls to mind nothing that went before. It brings with it no past

Tx:27.59  and insane it is to think a miracle is bound by laws which it  came solely to undo! The laws of sin have different witnesses with
Tx:28.9 What you remember never was. It  came from causelessness which you confused with cause. It can deserve

Tx:29.47  they have no life, and what is lifeless is a sign of death. You  came to die, and what would you expect but to perceive the signs of
Tx:29.61  truth that you believe that it is not a dream. A dream of judgment  came into the mind that God created perfect as Himself. And in that

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

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

W2:WAI.5  hearts. And thus our minds are changed about the aim for which we  came and which we seek to serve. We bring glad tidings to the Son of

Tx:26.72  will happen has as yet no cause. Who can predict effects without a  cause? And who could fear effects unless he thought they had been
Tx:26.72  and judged disastrous now? Belief in sin arouses fear and, like its  cause, is looking forward, looking back but overlooking what is here
Tx:26.72  back but overlooking what is here and now. Yet only here and now its  cause must be if its effects already have been judged as fearful. And
Tx:26.74  good appear in evil's form? And is it not deception if it does? Its  cause is here if it appears at all. Why are not its effects apparent
Tx:26.75 Yet this illusion has a  cause which, though untrue, must be already in your mind. And this
Tx:26.76  It has no meaning and is not your just reward. For you have  cause for freedom now. What profits freedom in a prisoner's form? Why
Tx:26.76  and the “reasoning” which would maintain effects of present  cause must be delayed until a future time is merely a denial of the
Tx:26.76  a future time is merely a denial of the fact that consequence and  cause must come as one. Look not to time but to the little space
Tx:26.86  And this denies the fact that all are senseless—equally without a  cause or consequence and cannot have effects of any kind. Their
Tx:26.87  the idea you are deprived by someone not yourself. Projection of the  cause of sacrifice is at the root of everything perceived to be
Tx:27.9  sign of guilt whose consequences still are there to see, so that the  cause can never be denied.
Tx:27.10 Your function is to [prove to] your brother that sin can have no  cause. How futile must it be to see yourself a picture of the proof
Tx:27.20  can show him that his suffering is purposeless and wholly without  cause. Show him your healing, and he will consent no more to suffer.
Tx:27.31  canceled out the thought it represents. And thus the picture has no  cause at all. Who can perceive effect without a cause? What can the
Tx:27.31  the picture has no cause at all. Who can perceive effect without a  cause? What can the causeless be but nothingness? The picture of your

Tx:27.66  and not themselves. Look, then, beyond effects. It is not here the  cause of suffering and sin must lie. And dwell not on the suffering
Tx:27.66  not on the suffering and sin, for they are but reflections of their  cause.

Tx:27.67  sin all stand within one little space. And it is here you find the  cause of your perspective on the world.
Tx:27.68 Once you were unaware of what the  cause of everything the world appeared to thrust upon you, uninvited
Tx:27.68  as making them, and their reality does not depend on him. Whatever  cause they have is something quite apart from him, and what he sees
Tx:27.70  the one alternative that you can choose, the other possibility of  cause if you be not the dreamer of your dreams. And this is what you
Tx:27.70  dreamer of your dreams. And this is what you choose if you deny the  cause of suffering is in your mind. Be glad indeed it is, for thus
Tx:27.71  could you doubt it while you lie asleep and dream in secret that its  cause is real?
Tx:27.72  and the destroyer of [the] brother and the world alike. Here is the  cause of suffering, the space between your dreams and your reality.
Tx:27.72  of ancient hate, the instant of disaster, all are here. Here is the  cause of unreality. And it is here that it will be undone.
Tx:27.73 You are the dreamer of the world of dreams. No other  cause it has, nor ever will. Nothing more fearful than an idle dream
Tx:27.79  it try to teach again, and still again, and yet once more that it is  cause and not effect. And you are its effect and cannot be its cause.
Tx:27.79  it is cause and not effect. And you are its effect and cannot be its  cause.
Tx:27.81  world has ever had? Is it your wish to let no dream appear to be the  cause of what it is you do? Then let us merely look upon the dream's
Tx:27.81  beginning, for the part you see is but the second part, whose  cause lies in the first. No one asleep and dreaming in the world
Tx:27.82 We can remember this if we but look directly at their  cause. And we will see the grounds for laughter, not a cause for
Tx:27.82  at their cause. And we will see the grounds for laughter, not a  cause for fear. Let us return the dream he gave away unto the dreamer
Tx:27.83  of circularity whose ending starts at its beginning, ending at its  cause. The world you see depicts exactly what you thought you did.
Tx:27.84  to them. But once deluded into blaming them, you will not see the  cause of what they do because you want the guilt to rest on them. How
Tx:27.84  your eyes behold its heavy consequences, but without their trifling  cause. Without the cause do its effects seem serious and sad indeed.
Tx:27.84  heavy consequences, but without their trifling cause. Without the  cause do its effects seem serious and sad indeed. Yet they but
Tx:27.84  seem serious and sad indeed. Yet they but follow. And it is their  cause which follows nothing and is but a jest.
Tx:27.85 In gentle laughter does the Holy Spirit perceive the  cause and looks not to effects. How else could He correct your error,
Tx:27.85  How else could He correct your error, who have overlooked the  cause entirely? He bids you bring each terrible effect to Him that
Tx:27.85  terrible effect to Him that you may look together on its foolish  cause and laugh with Him a while. You judge effects, but He has
Tx:27.85  laugh with Him a while. You judge effects, but He has judged their  cause. And by His judgment are effects removed. Perhaps you come in
Tx:27.86  and of attacker, still is this the truth. Whatever seems to be the  cause of any pain and suffering you feel, this is still true. For you
Tx:27.87  with this very simple truth. For this one answer takes away the  cause of every form of sorrow and of pain. The form affects His
Tx:27.87  affects His answer not at all, for He would teach you but the single  cause of all of them, no matter what their form. And you will
Tx:27.89  and He will teach you how each one is caused. None has a different  cause from all the rest, and all of them are easily undone by but a
Tx:28.1  past is gone, and what has truly gone has no effects. Remembering a  cause can but produce illusions of its presence, not effects.
Tx:28.2  guilt is over. In its passing went its consequences, left without a  cause. Why would you cling to it in memory if you did not desire its
Tx:28.5  their effects appear to be increased by time, which took away their  cause.
Tx:28.6  a consequence in which no change can be made possible because its  cause has gone. Yet change must have a cause that will endure or else
Tx:28.6  be made possible because its cause has gone. Yet change must have a  cause that will endure or else it will not last. No change can be
Tx:28.6  else it will not last. No change can be made in the present if its  cause is past. Only the past is held in memory as you make use of it,
Tx:28.7  one? When ancient memories of hate appear, remember that their  cause is gone. And so you cannot understand what they are for. Let
Tx:28.7  is gone. And so you cannot understand what they are for. Let not the  cause that you would give them now be what it was which made them
Tx:28.7  what you would be pardoned from. And see instead the new effects of  cause accepted now, with consequences here. They will surprise you
Tx:28.7  The ancient new ideas they bring will be the happy consequences of a  cause so ancient that it far exceeds the span of memory which your
Tx:28.8 This is the  Cause the Holy Spirit has remembered for you, when you would forget.
Tx:28.8  indeed seem new because you thought that you remembered not their  Cause. Yet was It never absent from your mind, for it was not your
Tx:28.9  never was. It came from causelessness which you confused with  cause. It can deserve but laughter when you learn you have remembered
Tx:28.9  causeless and could never be effects. The miracle reminds you of a  Cause forever present, perfectly untouched by time and interference—
Tx:28.10  to be healed. In quietness, see in the miracle a lesson in allowing  Cause to have Its own effects and doing nothing that would interfere.
Tx:28.11  minds to be. Born out of sharing, there can be no pause in time to  cause the miracle delay in hastening to all unquiet minds and
Tx:28.13  it not. And what is now remembered is not fear, but rather is the  cause that fear was made to render unremembered and undone. The
Tx:28.14 Now is the Son of God at last aware of present  Cause and Its benign effects. Now does he understand what he has made
Tx:28.14  he never had a need for doing anything and never did. His  Cause is Its effects. There never was a cause beside It that could
Tx:28.14  anything and never did. His Cause is Its effects. There never was a  cause beside It that could generate a different past or future. Its
Tx:28.16 Without a  cause there can be no effects, and yet without effects there is no
Tx:28.16  a cause there can be no effects, and yet without effects there is no  cause. The cause a cause is made by its effects; the Father is a
Tx:28.16  can be no effects, and yet without effects there is no cause. The  cause a cause is made by its effects; the Father is a father by His
Tx:28.16  no effects, and yet without effects there is no cause. The cause a  cause is made by its effects; the Father is a father by His Son.
Tx:28.16  the Father is a father by His Son. Effects do not create their  cause, but they establish its causation. Thus, the Son gives
Tx:28.17  it and where all healing is. Where then is healing? Only where its  cause is given its effects. For sickness is a meaningless attempt to
Tx:28.17  attempt to give effects to causelessness and make it be a  cause.
Tx:28.18 Always in sickness does the Son of God attempt to make himself his  cause and not allow himself to be his Father's Son. For this
Tx:28.18  desire, he does not believe that he is Love's effect and must be  cause because of what he is. The cause of healing is the only Cause
Tx:28.18  he is Love's effect and must be cause because of what he is. The  cause of healing is the only Cause of everything. It has but one
Tx:28.18  be cause because of what he is. The cause of healing is the only  Cause of everything. It has but one effect. And in that recognition,
Tx:28.19  It is but an effect which you have caused, and you would not be  cause of this effect.
Tx:28.21 What else could be expected from a thing that has no  cause? Yet if it has no cause, it has no purpose. You may cause a
Tx:28.21  could be expected from a thing that has no cause? Yet if it has no  cause, it has no purpose. You may cause a dream, but never will you
Tx:28.21  has no cause? Yet if it has no cause, it has no purpose. You may  cause a dream, but never will you give it real effects. For that
Tx:28.21  but never will you give it real effects. For that would change its  cause, and it is this you cannot do. The dreamer of a dream is not
Tx:28.21  of himself as sick or well, depressed or happy, but without a stable  cause with guaranteed effects.
Tx:28.22  hands. As victim, he is suffering from its effects but not their  cause. He authored not his own attack, and he is innocent of what he
Tx:28.22  nothing but to show him that he has done nothing. What he fears is  cause without the consequences which would make it cause. And so it
Tx:28.22  What he fears is cause without the consequences which would make it  cause. And so it never was.
Tx:28.23  to prove the dreamer could not be the maker of the dream. Effect and  cause are first split off and then reversed, so that effect becomes a
Tx:28.23  are first split off and then reversed, so that effect becomes a  cause; the cause, effect.
Tx:28.23  split off and then reversed, so that effect becomes a cause; the  cause, effect.
Tx:28.24  This final step is an effect of what has gone before, appearing as a  cause. The miracle is the first step in giving back to cause the
Tx:28.24  as a cause. The miracle is the first step in giving back to  cause the function of causation, not effect. For this confusion has
Tx:28.26 The miracle returns the  cause of fear to you who made it. But it also shows that, having no
Tx:28.26  who made it. But it also shows that, having no effects, it is not  cause because the function of causation is to have effects. And where
Tx:28.26  is to have effects. And where effects are gone, there is no  cause. Thus is the body healed by miracles because they show the mind
Tx:28.27  the glad effects of taking back the consequence of sickness to its  cause. The body is released because the mind acknowledges “this is
Tx:28.29  separate points of view. Uniting with a brother's mind prevents the  cause of sickness and perceived effects. Healing is the effect of
Tx:28.30  him to his own dream by sharing it with him. He has not seen the  cause of sickness where it is, and you have overlooked the gap
Tx:28.31  is a wish to keep apart and not to join. And thus it seems to give a  cause to sickness which is not its cause. The purpose of the gap is
Tx:28.31  join. And thus it seems to give a cause to sickness which is not its  cause. The purpose of the gap is all the cause that sickness has. For
Tx:28.31  sickness which is not its cause. The purpose of the gap is all the  cause that sickness has. For it was made to keep you separated in a
Tx:28.31  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.
Tx:28.35  you, join your brother there. And sickness will be seen without a  cause. The dream of healing in forgiveness lies and gently shows you
Tx:28.41  shares a dream must be the dream he shares because by sharing is a  cause produced.
Tx:28.43  to be a sick and separated mind cannot remain without a witness or a  cause. And both are gone if someone wills to be united with him. He
Tx:29.5 The body could not separate your minds unless you wanted it to be a  cause of separation and of distance seen between you. Thus do you
Tx:29.10  offered you. Yet though you do not see them, they are there. Their  cause has been effected, and they must be present where their cause
Tx:29.10  Their cause has been effected, and they must be present where their  cause has entered in.
Tx:29.11 You have accepted healing's  Cause, and so it must be you are healed. And being healed, the power

Tx:29.11  suddenly, as an effect without a cause. Nor is it in itself a  cause. But where its cause is must it be. Now is it caused, though
Tx:29.11  effect without a cause. Nor is it in itself a cause. But where its  cause is must it be. Now is it caused, though not as yet perceived.
Tx:29.11  Look inward now, and you will not behold a reason for regret but  cause indeed for glad rejoicing and for hope of peace.
Tx:30.31  be it with a dream of judgment or the Voice for God. Decisions  cause results because they are not made in isolation. They are made
Tx:30.36 What  cause have you for anger in a world which merely waits your blessing
Tx:30.58  And idols are not wanted there, for guilt is understood as the sole  cause of pain in any form. No one is tempted by its vain appeal, for

W1:5.2  use both the name of the form in which you see the upset and the  cause which you ascribe to it. For example:
W1:8.1  projected outward. The mind's preoccupation with the past is the  cause of the total misconception about time from which your seeing
W1:13.8  it may arouse. This is our first attempt at stating an explicit  cause and effect relationship of a kind which you are very
W1:17.1 This idea is another step in the direction of identifying  cause and effect as it really operates. You see no neutral things
W1:17.1  it is the way you think. If it were not so, perception would have no  cause and would itself be the cause of reality. In view of its highly
W1:17.1  were not so, perception would have no cause and would itself be the  cause of reality. In view of its highly variable nature, this is
W1:19.1  matter. Thinking and its results are really simultaneous, for  cause and effect are never separate.
W1:20.5  and you will. What you desire, you will see. Such is the real law of  cause and effect as it operates in the world.
W1:23.2 If the  cause of the world you see is attack thoughts, you must learn that it

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

W1:23.9  of being attacked are not different, you will be ready to let the  cause go.

W1:190.5 It is your thoughts alone that  cause you pain. Nothing external to your mind can hurt or injure you
W1:190.5  external 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

W1:195.1  such thoughts! For who has cause for thanks while others have less  cause, and who could suffer less because he sees another suffer more?

W2:301.2  Those who look on it can only add their joy to it and bless it as a  cause of further joy in them. We wept because we did not understand.
W2:307.1  Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will  cause me pain. Your will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours
W2:WILJ.2  as totally forgiven, without sin and wholly purposeless. Without a  cause and now without a function in Christ's sight, it merely slips
W2:326.1  home. I am forever Your Effect, and You forever and forever are my  Cause. As You created me, I have remained. Where You established me,
W2:326.1  abide in me because it is Your will to have a Son so like his  Cause that Cause and Its Effect are indistinguishable. Let me know
W2:326.1  in me because it is Your will to have a Son so like his Cause that  Cause and Its Effect are indistinguishable. Let me know that I am an

Tx:26.72  a cause? And who could fear effects unless he thought they had been  caused and judged disastrous now? Belief in sin arouses fear and,
Tx:27.71  started by your secret dream, which you do not perceive, although it  caused the part you see and do not doubt is real. How could you doubt
Tx:27.89  differences where none exist, and He will teach you how each one is  caused. None has a different cause from all the rest, and all of them
Tx:28.6  can restore. And yet you make strange use of it, as if the past had  caused the present, which is but a consequence in which no change can
Tx:28.11  nothing to prevent its radiant extension back into the mind Which  caused all minds to be. Born out of sharing, there can be no pause in
Tx:28.19  you are the dreamer, you perceive this much at least—that you have  caused the dream and can accept another dream as well. But for this

W1:26.9  outcome which has occurred to you in that connection and which has  caused you concern, referring to each one quite specifically, saying:
W1:78.7  his faults, the difficulties you have had with him, the pain he  caused you, his neglect, and all the little and the larger hurts he
W1:91.1  which it produces. The miracle is always there. Its presence is not  caused by your vision; its absence is not the result of your failure
W1:137.10  the little help He asks in freeing you from everything that ever  caused you pain. And as you let yourself be healed, you see all those

causeless (17)

Tx:13.72  you teach yourself that what is not of God has power over you. The  causeless cannot be. Do not attest to it, and do not foster belief in
Tx:13.72  communication with this oneness only when you learn to deny the  causeless and accept the Cause of God as yours. The power that God
Tx:17.71  Yet you are as innocent of what you were as he is. What never was is  causeless and is not there to interfere with truth. There is no cause
Tx:27.31  cause at all. Who can perceive effect without a cause? What can the  causeless be but nothingness? The picture of your brother that you
Tx:28.9  laughter when you learn you have remembered consequences which were  causeless and could never be effects. The miracle reminds you of a
Tx:28.10  There was no time in which His Son could be condemned for what was  causeless and against His Will. What your remembering would witness
Tx:28.14  and Its benign effects. Now does he understand what he has made is  causeless, making no effects at all. He has done nothing. And in
Tx:28.15 What has been lost, to see the  causeless not? And where is sacrifice, when memory of God has come to
Tx:28.20  you see you made the one you would exchange for this. This world is  causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed within the

Tx:16.56  denying truth, and so are making yourself unable to make the simple  choice between truth and illusion, God and fantasy. Remember this and
Tx:16.57  whether or not to listen to this course and follow it is but the  choice between truth and illusion. For here is truth separated from
Tx:16.58 How simple does this  choice become when it is perceived as only what it is. For only
Tx:16.70  you have for choosing a special partner without the past? Every such  choice is made because of something “evil” in the past to which you
Tx:17.25  one you choose you will endow with beauty and reality because the  choice depends on which you value more. The spark of beauty or the
Tx:17.52  the Sonship is the song of freedom heard in joyous echo of your  choice. You have joined with many in the holy instant, and they have

Tx:19.24  Yet think you carefully before you allow yourself to make this  choice. Approach it not lightly, for it is the choice of hell or
Tx:19.24  yourself to make this choice. Approach it not lightly, for it is the  choice of hell or Heaven.
Tx:19.70 Here is your  choice, and it is free. But all that lies in it will come with it,

Tx:21.49  want to hear it. Perception is a choice and not a fact. But on this  choice depends far more than you may realize as yet. For on the voice

Tx:21.51  and another Voice in which your freedom lies awaiting but your  choice. And if you place your faith in them, you will perceive
Tx:21.64  the Son of God to what can never be corrected. You tell him by your  choice that he is damned—separate from you and from his Father
Tx:21.64  he is as you would have him, and what you choose he be is but your  choice for you. Yet think not this is fearful. That you are joined to

Tx:23.51  real. Here you have chosen to be part of it. Here murder is your  choice. Yet from above, the choice is miracles instead of murder. And
Tx:23.51  to be part of it. Here murder is your choice. Yet from above, the  choice is miracles instead of murder. And the perspective coming from
Tx:23.51  is miracles instead of murder. And the perspective coming from this  choice shows you the battle is not real and easily escaped. Bodies
Tx:23.51  in it? How can the truth of miracles be recognized if murder is your  choice?

Tx:24.57  a purpose and without accomplishment of any kind, is all the other  choice can offer you. Futility of function not fulfilled will haunt

Tx:24.72  serve another goal. It is not bound to specialness but by your  choice. And it is given you to make a different choice and use
Tx:24.72  but by your choice. And it is given you to make a different  choice and use perception for a different purpose. And what you see
Tx:25.6 Perception is a  choice of what you want yourself to be—the world you want to live

Tx:25.31  or damned? Forgetting not that what he is to you will make this  choice your future? For you make it now, the instant when all time
Tx:25.31  when all time becomes a means to reach a goal. Make then your  choice. But recognize that in this choice the purpose of the world

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

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

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

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

Tx:31.91  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:31.91  appeared to be before the choice for holiness was made. For in that  choice are false distinctions gone, illusory alternatives laid by,
Tx:31.92  Choose once again what you would have him be, remembering that every  choice you make establishes your own identity as you will see it and
Tx:31.94  content. For you will hear, and you will choose again. And in this  choice is everyone made free.
Tx:31.95  for them. Salvation's song will echo through the world with every  choice they make. For we are one in purpose, and the end of hell is
W1:51.4  now for this merely by being willing to do so. Is not this a better  choice than the one I made before?
W1:52.5  truly be said that I see nothing. I can see only what is now. The  choice is not whether to see the past or the present: it is whether

W1:98.13  you take and help you fill, and He will make you sure you want this  choice, which He has made with you and you with Him.
W1:102.6  function deep within your mind, for it is there, awaiting but your  choice. You cannot fail to find it when you learn it is your choice
W1:102.6  your choice. You cannot fail to find it when you learn it is your  choice and that you share God's Will.
W1:106.12  and learning it of Him. Do not forget today to reinforce your  choice to hear and to receive the Word by this reminder, given to
W1:129.6 Such is the  choice. What loss can be for you in choosing not to value
W1:129.11  for we have seen its opposite at last, and we are grateful that the  choice is made. Remember your decision hourly, and take a moment to
W1:129.11  Remember your decision hourly, and take a moment to confirm your  choice by laying by whatever thoughts you have, and dwelling briefly
W1:130.1  you see reflects your thinking. And your thinking but reflects your  choice of what you want to see. Your values are determiners of this,
W1:130.5  one; the other disappears. But one remains. They are the range of  choice beyond which your decision cannot go. The real and the unreal
W1:130.6  none is possible. The world you see is proof you have already made a  choice as all-embracing as its opposite. What we would learn today is
W1:130.10  before. And you will know God's strength upheld as you made this  choice.
W1:130.11  today whenever it arises merely by remembering the limits on your  choice. The unreal or the real, the false or true is what you see,
W1:130.11  you see, and only what you see. Perception is consistent with your  choice, and hell or Heaven comes to you as one.
W1:130.12  indeed. Yet the release of Heaven still remains within your range of  choice to take the place of everything that hell would show to you.
W1:133.4 The laws which govern  choice you cannot make, no more than you can make alternatives from
W1:133.5  to you to let alternatives be limitless and thus delay your final  choice until you had considered all of them in time and not been
W1:133.5  and not been brought so clearly to the place where there is but one  choice that must be made.
W1:133.6  kindly and related law is that there is no compromise in what your  choice must bring. It cannot give you just a little, for there is no
W1:133.6  It cannot give you just a little, for there is no in-between. Each  choice you make brings everything to you or nothing. Therefore, if
W1:133.6  can distinguish everything from nothing, you will make the better  choice.
W1:133.9  next consideration is the one on which the others rest. Why is the  choice you make of value to you? What attracts your mind to it? What
W1:133.12 And so we come to the criterion for  choice which is the hardest to believe, because its obviousness is
W1:133.12  with many levels of obscurity. If you feel any guilt about your  choice, you have allowed the ego's goals to come between the real
W1:134.10 Thus will you see alternatives for  choice in terms which render choosing meaningful and keep your mind
W1:135.17  the basis for its future goals. Its past experience directs its  choice of what will happen. And it does not see that here and now is
W1:136.3  you choose to use them. In that second, even less, in which the  choice is made, you recognize exactly what you would attempt to do
W1:136.8  unsought, which makes you weak and brings you suffering. It is a  choice you make, a plan you lay when for an instant truth arises in
W1:136.10  than the truth, which asks you live but cannot overcome your  choice to die. And so the body is more powerful than everlasting
W1:137.12  Ask the inevitable to occur, and you will never fail. The other  choice is but to ask what cannot be to be, and this cannot succeed.
W1:138.1 In this world, Heaven is a  choice because here we believe there are alternatives to choose
W1:138.2 It is this strange perception of the truth that makes the  choice of Heaven seem to be the same as the relinquishment of hell.
W1:138.3  Choice is the obvious escape from what appears as opposites. Decision
W1:138.4  there is really only one to make. And even this but seems to be a  choice. Do not confuse yourself with all the doubts that myriad
W1:138.4  make but one. And when that one is made, you will perceive it was no  choice at all, for truth is true and nothing else is real. There is
W1:138.6  this insanely complicated world, Heaven appears to take the form of  choice rather than merely being what it is. Of all the choices you
W1:138.6  this one by taking different forms. Here is the final and the only  choice in which is truth accepted or denied.
W1:138.7 So we begin today considering the  choice that time was made to help us make. Such is its holy purpose,
W1:138.9 Heaven is chosen consciously. The  choice cannot be made until alternatives are accurately seen and
W1:138.10 The conscious  choice of Heaven is as sure as is the ending of the fear of hell when
W1:138.10  the clearly seen and the unrecognized? Yet who can fail to make a  choice between alternatives when only one is seen as valuable, the
W1:138.10  a but imagined source of guilt and pain? Who hesitates to make a  choice like this? And shall we hesitate to choose today?
W1:138.11 We make the  choice for Heaven as we wake and spend five minutes making sure that
W1:138.11  made the one decision that is sane. We recognize we make a conscious  choice between what has existence and what has nothing but an
W1:138.12 Before we close our eyes in sleep tonight, we reaffirm the  choice that we have made each hour in between. And now we give the
W1:138.12  with which we awoke. As every hour passed, we have declared our  choice again in a brief quiet time devoted to maintaining sanity. And
W1:139.1 Here is the end of  choice. For here we come to a decision to accept ourselves as God
W1:139.1  to a decision to accept ourselves as God created us. And what is  choice except uncertainty of what we are? There is no doubt that is
W1:152.1  loss unless it be his own decision. No one suffers pain except his  choice elects this state for him. No one can grieve nor fear nor
W1:153.6  the Christ in you. Perhaps you will recall the course maintains that  choice is always made between His strength and your own weakness seen
W1:155.2  even here, then they step back and let it lead the way. What other  choice is really theirs to make? To let illusion walk ahead of truth
W1:155.3 This is the simple  choice we make today. The mad illusion will remain awhile in evidence
W1:155.3  to come and have not yet rejoiced to find they were mistaken in the  choice. They cannot learn directly from the truth because they have
W1:165.1  illusion? What could keep from you what you already have except your  choice to see it not, denying it is there?
W1:170.9  can also be the time of your release from abject slavery. You make a  choice, standing before this idol, seeing him exactly as he is. Will
W1:170.12 The  choice you make today is certain. For you look for the last time upon
W1:170.12  weight; beheld not in its sightless eyes but in the vision that your  choice restored to you.
W1:170.14  what we have received from You alone. We choose again and make our  choice for all our brothers, knowing they are one with us. We bring
W1:R5.9  now to lead you back to where the journey was begun, to make another  choice with me.
W1:185.9  I would have, in place of Heaven and the peace of God?” This is the  choice you make. Be not deceived that it is otherwise. No compromise
W1:189.5 What would you see? The  choice is given you. But learn and do not let your mind forget this
W1:189.9  which we go to Him. But we do choose to let Him come. And with this  choice we rest. And in our quiet hearts and open minds His love will
W1:190.11 And so again we make the only  choice that ever can be made—we choose between illusions and the
W1:193.10  we are tempted to believe that pain is real and death becomes our  choice instead of life? Shall we not learn to say these words when we
W1:194.9  to attack, we will appeal to Him Who guards our rest to make the  choice for us that leaves temptation far behind. No longer is the
W1:200.6  worthy purpose? Who could hope for more while there appears to be a  choice to make between success and failure, love and fear?
W2:I.8  its one Creator. We have found the way He chose for us and made the  choice to follow it as He would have us go. His hand has held us up.
W2:263.1  dark and fearful images. A madman's dream is hardly fit to be my  choice instead of all the loveliness with which You blessed creation
W2:282.1  while truth remains forever living in the joy of life. And this the  choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the Son He loves and
W2:286.1  the lesson that there is no need that I do anything. In You is every  choice already made. In You has every conflict been resolved. In You
W2:317.1  until I take this part as what I choose to do. Until I make this  choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny. But when I
W2:329.1  in my creation, where my will became forever one with Yours. That  choice was made for all eternity. It cannot change and be in
W2:334.1  peace of God to all who hear and choose to follow Him. This is my  choice today. And so I go to find the treasures God has given me.
W2:335.1 Forgiveness is a  choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond
W2:351.1  alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this perception is a  choice I make and can relinquish. I can also see my brother sinless
W2:351.1  I can also see my brother sinless as Your holy Son. And with this  choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend
W2:E.5  We will be told exactly what God wills for us each time there is a  choice to make. And He will speak for God and for your Self, thus
W2:E.5  Self, thus making sure that hell will claim you not and that each  choice you make brings Heaven nearer to your reach. And so we walk
M:I.2  The question is not whether you will teach, for in that there is no  choice. The purpose of the course might be said to provide you with a
M:1.1  consist solely in this; somehow, somewhere he has made a deliberate  choice in which he did not see his interests as apart from someone
M:1.4  appointed to bring about. For time is in their hands. Such was their  choice, and it is given them.
M:2.1  his role, they are ready to fulfill theirs. Time waits on his  choice but not whom he will serve. When he is ready to learn, the
M:2.4  to the right place. This is inevitable, because he made the right  choice in that ancient instant which he now relives. So has the
M:2.4  which he now relives. So has the teacher, too, made an inevitable  choice out of an ancient past. God's Will in everything but seems to
M:4.12  they not succeed? They choose in perfect honesty, sure of their  choice themselves.
M:4.15  To those to whom harm has no meaning, it is merely natural. What  choice but this has meaning to the sane? Who chooses hell when he
M:5.2  of greater worth. For sickness is an election, a decision. It is the  choice of weakness in the mistaken conviction that it is strength.
M:5.5  seem to be ministering to him, yet they but give form to his own  choice. He chooses them to bring tangible form to his desires. And it
M:5.9 To them God's teachers come to represent another  choice which they had forgotten. The simple presence of a teacher of
M:10.6  cause, and they, which never were but the effects of his mistaken  choice, have fallen from him. Teacher of God, this step will bring
M:12.6  God's teachers choose to look on dreams a while. It is a conscious  choice. For they have learned that all choices are made consciously,
M:17.7  Father pursues His guilty Son. Kill or be killed, for here alone is  choice. Beyond this there is none, for what was done cannot be done
M:20.4  of this: is conflict what you want, or is God's peace the better  choice? Which gives you more? A tranquil mind is not a little gift.

Tx:21.33 It is impossible that the Son of God lack faith, but he can  choose where he would have it be. Faithlessness is not a lack of
Tx:21.34  means for what He wills for you. You made perception that you might  choose among your brothers and seek for sin with them. The Holy

Tx:21.80  how it happens but not to why. You have control of this. And if you  choose to see a world without an enemy in which you are not helpless,

Tx:22.22  is no middle ground where you can pause uncertainly, waiting to  choose between the joy of Heaven and the misery of hell. Until you
Tx:22.22  choose between the joy of Heaven and the misery of hell. Until you  choose Heaven, you are in hell and misery.
Tx:22.62  And this is so because the universe is one. You would not  choose attack on its reality if it were not essential to attack to
Tx:23.52  know well. When it occurs, leave not your place on high but quickly  choose a miracle instead of murder. And God Himself and all the

Tx:25.17  its purpose, and you do not make the frame into the picture when you  choose to see it in its place. The frame that God has given it but

Tx:31.40  and the same mistake. All choices in the world depend on this—you  choose between your brother and yourself, and you will gain as much
Tx:31.50  single aim of teaching you this concept of yourself, that you will  choose to follow this world's laws and never seek to go beyond its
Tx:31.54  you are what you chose your brother be, alternatives were there to  choose among, and someone must have first decided on the one to

Tx:31.62  what you are, as flesh or Spirit in your own belief. If you  choose flesh, you never will escape the body as your own reality, for
Tx:31.62  as your own reality, for you have chosen that you want it so. But  choose the Spirit, and all Heaven bends to touch your eyes and bless
Tx:31.63 Salvation is undoing. If you  choose to see the body, you behold a world of separation, unrelated

Tx:31.66 You who believe that you can  choose to see the Son of God as you would have him be, forget not

Tx:31.86 How do you make the choice? How easily is this explained! You always  choose between your weakness and the strength of Christ in you. And
Tx:31.86  your weakness and the strength of Christ in you. And what you  choose is what you think is real. Simply by never using weakness to
Tx:31.87  each perplexity Christ calls to you and gently says, “My brother,  choose again.” He would not leave one source of pain unhealed nor any
Tx:31.88  fearful of temptation then, but see it as it is—another chance to  choose again and let Christ's strength prevail in every circumstance
Tx:31.92  dreams of weakness, opening the way to his salvation and release.  Choose once again what you would have him be, remembering that every
Tx:31.94  and in His certainty I rest content. For you will hear, and you will  choose again. And in this choice is everyone made free.

W1:44.7  sinking past them. Your mind cannot be stopped in this unless you  choose to stop it. It is merely taking its natural course. Try to
W1:51.5  that my thoughts do not mean anything and to let them go. I  choose to have them be replaced by what they were intended to
W1:52.5  or not. What I have chosen to see has cost me vision. Now I would  choose again that I may see.
W1:53.3  this world is not real and that I need not see it at all unless I  choose to value it. And I do not choose to value what is totally
W1:53.3  I need not see it at all unless I choose to value it. And I do not  choose to value what is totally insane and has no meaning.
W1:53.4  illusion of reality, and have suffered from my belief in it. Now I  choose to withdraw this belief and place my trust in reality. In
W1:55.4  I will see a world of peace and safety and joy. It is this I  choose to see in place of what I look on now.
W1:57.2  can I be the victim of a world that can be completely undone if I so  choose? My chains are loosened. I can drop them off merely by
W1:59.4  see anything else. Beyond His Will lie only illusions. It is these I  choose when I think I can see apart from Him. It is these I choose
W1:59.4  these I choose when I think I can see apart from Him. It is these I  choose when I try to see through the body's eyes. Yet the vision of
W1:59.4  has been given me to replace them. It is through this vision that I  choose to see.
W1:64.5 There is no other way. Therefore every time you  choose whether or not to fulfill your function, you are really
W1:66.9  Spirit, where truth abides. There are no other guides but these to  choose between and no other outcomes possible as a result of your
W1:73.9  the insane belief that it is hell in place of Heaven that you  choose.
W1:78.6 You know the one to  choose; his name has crossed your mind already. He will be the one of
W1:88.2  light has come. In choosing salvation rather than attack, I merely  choose to recognize what is already here. Salvation is a decision
W1:88.2  is a decision made already. Attack and grievances are not there to  choose. That is why I always choose between truth and illusion,
W1:88.2  Attack and grievances are not there to choose. That is why I always  choose between truth and illusion, between what is there and what is
W1:88.2  between what is there and what is not. The light has come. I can but  choose the light, for it has no alternative. It has replaced the
W1:91.5  the strength to do what it desires. You can escape the body if you  choose. You can experience the strength in you.
W1:98.4  answer it, when they have come to make their choice again. We do not  choose but for ourselves today.
W1:100.2 God's Will for you is perfect happiness. Why should you  choose to go against His Will? The part that He has saved for you to
W1:117.2  me remember love is happiness and nothing else brings joy. And so I  choose to entertain no substitutes for love.
W1:125.7  silence, give ten minutes set apart from listening to the world and  choose instead a gentle listening to the Word of God. He speaks from
W1:126.5  dependably and sure. It is an eccentricity in which you sometimes  choose to give indulgently an undeserved reprieve. Yet it remains
W1:129.6  This world holds nothing that you really want, but what you  choose instead you want indeed! Let it be given you today. It waits
W1:129.8 Beyond this world there is a world I want. I  choose to see that world instead of this, for here is nothing that I
W1:130.2  Who can desire what he does not want to have reality? And who can  choose to see a world of which he is afraid? Fear must make blind,
W1:130.5  your decision cannot go. The real and the unreal are all there is to  choose between, and nothing more than these.
W1:131.4  unless you give it power to do so. Otherwise, you still are free to  choose a goal that lies beyond the world and every worldly thought
W1:131.10 Today we will not  choose a paradox in place of truth. How could the Son of God make
W1:132.21 I loose the world from all I thought it was and  choose my own reality instead.
W1:133.4  cannot make, no more than you can make alternatives from which to  choose. The choosing you can do; indeed you must. But it is wise to
W1:133.4  must. But it is wise to learn the laws you set in motion when you  choose and what alternatives you choose between. We have already
W1:133.4  the laws you set in motion when you choose and what alternatives you  choose between. We have already stressed there are but two, however
W1:133.7 First, if you  choose a thing that will not last forever, what you chose is
W1:133.8 Next, if you  choose to take a thing away from someone else, you will have nothing
W1:134.17 Then  choose one brother as He will direct, and catalogue his “sins,” as
W1:136.3  seem to be unconscious but because of the rapidity with which you  choose to use them. In that second, even less, in which the choice is
W1:136.12  it. And Heaven has not bowed to hell, nor life to death. You can but  choose to think you die or suffer sickness or distort the truth in
W1:136.15  to play with folly. It is found at any time—today, if you will  choose to practice giving welcome to the truth. This is our aim
W1:138.1  Heaven is a choice because here we believe there are alternatives to  choose between. We think that all things have an opposite, and what
W1:138.1  We think that all things have an opposite, and what we want we  choose. If Heaven exists, there must be hell as well, for
W1:138.4  for truth is true and nothing else is real. There is no opposite to  choose instead. There is no contradiction to the truth.
W1:138.10  Who hesitates to make a choice like this? And shall we hesitate to  choose today?
W1:152.1  occurs but represents your wish, and nothing is omitted that you  choose. Here is your world, complete in all details. Here is its
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 come to
W1:154.7  and show they understand the messages by giving them away. They  choose no roles that are not given them by His authority. And so they
W1:155.2 The world is an illusion. Those who  choose to come to it are seeking for a place where they can be
W1:155.12  He has always been. What way but this could be a path that you would  choose instead?
W1:156.3  is part of Holiness and could no more be sinful than the sun could  choose to be of ice, the sea elect to be apart from water, or the
W1:170.14  And we bless the world with what we have received from You alone. We  choose again and make our choice for all our brothers, knowing they
W1:185.9  that it is otherwise. No compromise is possible in this. You  choose God's peace, or you have asked for dreams. And dreams will
W1:187.7  of suffering. Your blessing lies on everyone who suffers when you  choose to see all suffering as what it is. The thought of sacrifice
W1:188.9  to us. For it is we who make the world as we would have it. Now we  choose that it be innocent, devoid of sin, and open to salvation. And
W1:189.9 And so today we do not  choose the way in which we go to Him. But we do choose to let Him
W1:189.9  so today we do not choose the way in which we go to Him. But we do  choose to let Him come. And with this choice we rest. And in our
W1:190.6  And it will change entirely as you elect to change your mind and  choose the joy of God as what you really want. Your Self is radiant
W1:190.11 And so again we make the only choice that ever can be made—we  choose between illusions and the truth, or pain and joy, or hell and
W1:190.11  Let our gratitude unto our Teacher fill our hearts as we are free to  choose our joy instead of pain, our holiness in place of sin, the
W1:192.9  hold a sword above your head. And it will fall or be averted as you  choose to be condemned or free. Thus does each one who seems to tempt
W1:194.7  may be faulty but will never lack correction. He is free to  choose again when he has been deceived, to change his mind when he
W1:195.8  now undone at last, and we forgive without comparing. Thus we cannot  choose to overlook some things and yet retain some other things still
W1:R6.9 This thought I do not want. I  choose instead….
W1:202.1 [182] I will be still a moment and go home. Why would I  choose to stay an instant more where I do not belong, when God
W1:210.1 [190] I  choose the joy of God instead of pain. Pain is my own idea. It is not
W1:210.1  Will. His Will is joy and only joy for His beloved Son. And that I  choose instead of what I made. I am not a body. I am free. For I am
W1:213.1  hurt me. What I learn of Him becomes the way I am set free. And so I  choose to learn His lessons and forget my own. I am not a body. I am
W2:226.1 If I so  choose, I can depart this world entirely. It is not death which makes
W2:246.2 I will accept the way You  choose for me to come to You, my Father. For in that will I succeed

W2:254.2  go. We do not want what they would bring with them. And so we do not  choose to keep them. They are silent now. And in the stillness,
W2:255.1 It does not seem to me that I can  choose to have but peace today. And yet my God assures me that His
W2:255.1  day have faith in Him Who says I am God's Son. And let the peace I  choose be mine today bear witness to the truth of what He says. God's
W2:255.2  You. The peace You gave him still is in his mind, and it is there I  choose to spend today.
W2:256.1  forgiven him in whom all sin remains impossible, and it is this we  choose to dream today. God is our goal; forgiveness is the means by
W2:261.2  me not seek for idols. I would come, my Father, home to You today. I  choose to be as You created me and find the Son whom You created as
W2:269.1  I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I made. Today I  choose to see a world forgiven in which everyone shows me the face of
W2:271.1  hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. Today I  choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God's
W2:271.2  What He beholds invites Your memory to be restored to me. And this I  choose to be what I would look upon today.
W2:278.2  brought a dream of fear into my mind. Today I would not dream. I  choose the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear. For
W2:WIRW.3  surrounding it but safety, love, and joy? What is there it would  choose to be condemned, and what is there that it would judge
W2:314.2 Father, we were mistaken in the past and  choose to use the present to be free. Now do we leave the future in
W2:317.1  role for me alone. Salvation waits until I take this part as what I  choose to do. Until I make this choice, I am the slave of time and
W2:317.2 Father, Your way is what I  choose today. Where it would lead me, do I choose to go; what it
W2:317.2 Father, Your way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me, do I  choose to go; what it would have me do, I choose to do. Your way is
W2:317.2  it would lead me, do I choose to go; what it would have me do, I  choose to do. Your way is certain and the end secure. The memory of
W2:324.1  every step in my appointed path. I cannot lose the way. I can but  choose to wander off a while and then return. Your loving Voice will
W2:330.1  which God created cannot sin and therefore cannot suffer. Let us  choose today that He be our Identity and thus escape forever from all
W2:334.1  today. God's Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and  choose to follow Him. This is my choice today. And so I go to find
W2:335.1  respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings. I  choose to see what I would look upon, and this I see and only this.
W2:347.1  my mind, my Father. It is sick. But You have offered freedom, and I  choose to claim Your gift today. And so I give all judgment to the
W2:348.2  suffices us in everything that He would have us do. And only that we  choose to be our will, as well as His.
W2:351.1  Comforter and Friend beside me, and my way secure and clear.  Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your Voice. For He alone
W2:355.1  I need not wait an instant more to be at peace forever. It is You I  choose and my Identity along with You. Your Son would be Himself and
M:2.3  is free, you can accept what has already happened at any time you  choose, and only then will you realize that it was always there. As
M:2.3  it was always there. As the course emphasizes, you are not free to  choose the curriculum or even the form in which you will learn it.
M:4.12  They can only succeed because they never do their will alone. They  choose for all mankind, for all the world and all things in it, for
M:4.12  for the Son of God and his Creator. How could they not succeed? They  choose in perfect honesty, sure of their choice themselves.
M:4.15  Who chooses hell when he perceives a way to Heaven? And who would  choose the weakness that must come from harm in place of the
M:5.2  the instant the sufferer no longer sees any value in pain. Who would  choose suffering unless he thought it brought him something, and
M:5.9  death. Behold, you Son of God, what life can offer you. Would you  choose sickness in place of this?
M:10.4  you were right, without ever realizing you were wrong? Why would you  choose such an arbitrary basis for decision-making? Wisdom is not

M:11.1  should be. But you can choose how you would see it. Indeed, you must  choose this.

Tx:4.66 The first coming of  Christ is just another name for the creation, for Christ is the Son
Tx:4.66 The first coming of Christ is just another name for the creation, for  Christ is the Son of God. The second coming of Christ means nothing
Tx:4.66  for the creation, for Christ is the Son of God. The second coming of  Christ means nothing more than the end of the ego's rule over part of
Tx:4.67  That knowledge, and I assure you that it is knowledge, means that  Christ must come into your minds and heal them. Although I am not
Tx:4.106 I am here only to be truly helpful. I am here to represent  Christ, Who sent me. I do not have to worry about what to say or what
Tx:5.9  also mine. The Bible says, “May the mind be in you that was also in  Christ Jesus,” and uses this as a blessing. It is the blessing of

Tx:8.106 Christ is in me, and where He is God must be, for  Christ is part of Him.
Tx:10.36  Christ is at God's altar, waiting to welcome His Son. But come wholly
Tx:10.36  where God would have you be. But love yourself with the love of  Christ, for so does your Father love you. You can refuse to enter,
Tx:10.36  love you. You can refuse to enter, but you cannot bar the door which  Christ holds open. Come unto me who holds it open for you, for while
Tx:10.37 At God's altar  Christ waits for the restoration of Himself in you. God knows His Son
Tx:10.37  Himself, and He is approached through the appreciation of His Son.  Christ waits for your acceptance of Him as yourself and of His
Tx:10.37  acceptance of Him as yourself and of His wholeness as yours. For  Christ is the Son of God who lives in his Creator and shines with His
Tx:10.37  the Son of God who lives in his Creator and shines with His glory.  Christ is the extension of the love and the loveliness of God, as
Tx:10.57  is the sign that they have beheld God's Son, and in the Presence of  Christ they need demonstrate nothing, for Christ speaks to them of
Tx:10.57  and in the Presence of Christ they need demonstrate nothing, for  Christ speaks to them of Himself and of His Father. They are silent
Tx:10.57  speaks to them of Himself and of His Father. They are silent because  Christ speaks to them, and it is His words that they speak.
Tx:10.58 Every brother you meet becomes a witness for  Christ or for the ego, depending on what you perceive in him.
Tx:10.58  you have evoked false witnesses against him. If he speaks not of  Christ to you, you spoke not of Christ to him. You hear but your own
Tx:10.58  against him. If he speaks not of Christ to you, you spoke not of  Christ to him. You hear but your own voice, and if Christ speaks
Tx:10.58  you spoke not of Christ to him. You hear but your own voice, and if  Christ speaks through you, you will hear Him.
Tx:10.59  will see it. The resurrection is the complete triumph of  Christ over the ego, not by attack but by transcendence. For Christ
Tx:10.59  of Christ over the ego, not by attack but by transcendence. For  Christ does rise above the ego and all its works and ascends to the
Tx:10.61  which you will become less and less willing to deny. Learning of  Christ is easy, for to perceive with Him involves no strain at all.
Tx:10.61  it is only distortions which you introduce that tire you. Let the  Christ in you interpret for you, and do not try to limit what you see
Tx:10.61  by narrow little beliefs which are unworthy of God's Son. For until  Christ comes into His own, the Son of God will see himself as
Tx:10.66  yet forgotten them. The forgetting of dreams and the awareness of  Christ comes with the awakening of others to share your redemption.
Tx:10.68  has no size and no measure. To God all things are possible. And to  Christ it is given to be like the Father.

Tx:10.87  for you are offended by Christ and are deceived in Him. Heal in  Christ and be not offended by Him, for there is no offense in Him. If
Tx:11.8  it will be truly yours. Every appeal you answer in the name of  Christ brings the remembrance of your Father closer to your
Tx:11.16  his call for love and yours is answered. Healing is the love of  Christ for His Father and for Himself.
Tx:11.18 Let us not save nightmares, for they are not fitting offerings for  Christ, and so they are not fit gifts for you. Take off the covers
Tx:11.19  stand in the way of love, for nothing can withstand the love of  Christ for His Father or His Father's love for Him.
Tx:11.34  For in this same place also lies salvation. The altar of God where  Christ abideth is there.
Tx:11.35 You have defiled the altar but not the world. Yet  Christ has placed the Atonement on the altar for you. Bring your
Tx:11.57 The Holy Spirit keeps the vision of  Christ for every Son of God who sleeps. In His sight the Son of God
Tx:11.58  to awaken. And then the real world will spring to your sight, for  Christ has never slept. He is waiting to be seen, for He has never
Tx:11.58  For the Holy Spirit will lead everyone home to his Father, where  Christ waits as his Self.
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
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 His love for
Tx:11.59  Father's love for Him. When the Holy Spirit has at last led you to  Christ at the altar to His Father, perception fuses into knowledge
Tx:11.72  look upon the world as God created it together. Through the eyes of  Christ, only the real world exists and can be seen. As you decide, so
Tx:11.82  nothing real to you, you have seen it. But it is not there. And  Christ is invisible to you because of what you have made visible to
Tx:11.84  the world you made and which you see. But take it from the hand of  Christ and look upon it. Its reality will make everything else
Tx:11.89  cannot coexist, and to accept one is to deny the other. Guilt hides  Christ from your sight, for it is the denial of the blamelessness of
Tx:11.90  which you accepted, and you hold it dear. For the blamelessness of  Christ is the proof that the ego never was and can never be. Without
Tx:12.38  hear, for you are preoccupied with your own voice. And the vision of  Christ is not in your sight, for you look upon yourself alone.
Tx:12.42  Beyond this darkness and yet still within you is the vision of  Christ, Who looks on all in light. Your vision comes from fear, as
Tx:12.44 The Holy Spirit is the light in which  Christ stands revealed. And all who would behold Him can see Him, for
Tx:12.44  because they looked within and saw beyond the darkness the  Christ in them and recognized Him. In the sanity of His vision, they
Tx:12.47 This darkness is in you. The  Christ revealed to you now has no past, for He is changeless, and in
Tx:12.51  not change and where there is no sight of what you were, you look at  Christ and call His witnesses to shine on you because you called them

Tx:12.73 The Holy Spirit leads me unto  Christ, and where else would I go? What need have I but to awake in
Tx:13.2  can reach everywhere under His guidance, for the vision of  Christ beholds everything in light. Yet no perception, however holy,
Tx:13.28  pure as He Who raised it to Himself. Nothing can keep from you what  Christ would have you see. His Will is like His Father's, and He

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

Tx:15.92  gift I gave to you. Release me as I will your release. The time of  Christ we celebrate together, for it has no meaning if we are apart.
Tx:15.93 The holy instant is truly the time of  Christ. For in this liberating instant, no guilt is laid upon the Son
Tx:15.94  I was born to give. Give it to me, that you may have it. The time of  Christ is the time appointed for the gift of freedom, offered to
Tx:15.94  make this season holy, for it is in your power to make the time of  Christ be now.
Tx:15.102  shining in the Heaven within and accept it as the sign the time of  Christ has come. He comes demanding nothing. No sacrifice of any kind
Tx:15.102  it. No fear can touch the host who cradles God in the time of  Christ, for the Host is as holy as the Perfect Innocence which He
Tx:15.108  itself. Let no despair darken the joy of Christmas, for the time of  Christ is meaningless apart from joy. Let us join in celebrating
Tx:15.108  we are deprived of nothing? Such is the message of the time of  Christ, which I give you that you may give it and return it to the
Tx:15.108  and return it to the Father, Who gave it to me. For in the time of  Christ, communication is restored, and He joins us in the celebration
Tx:15.110 This is the weekend in which a new year will be born from the time of  Christ. I have perfect faith in you to do all that you would
Tx:17.36  keep truth whole. The power of Heaven, the love of God, the tears of  Christ, and the joy of His eternal Spirit are marshaled to defend you
Tx:19.11  united in your purpose to be released from guilt. You saw the  Christ in him, and he was healed because you looked on what makes
Tx:19.41  it now? You are not asked to let it go for yourselves alone.  Christ asks it of you for Himself. He would bring peace to everyone,
Tx:19.91  obstacle to be surmounted hangs like a heavy veil before the face of  Christ. Yet as His face rises beyond it, shining with joy because He
Tx:19.91  Him at last. For this dark veil, which seems to make the face of  Christ Himself like to a leper's and the bright rays of His Father's
Tx:19.93  to let the fear of God be lifted so you could look upon the face of  Christ and join Him in His Father.
Tx:19.103 Behold your Friend, the  Christ Who stands beside you. How holy and how beautiful He is! You
Tx:19.103  still offers you salvation as His Friend. The “enemies” of  Christ, the worshipers of sin, know not Whom they attack. This is
Tx:20.1  of his release. For Easter is the sign of peace, not pain. A slain  Christ has no meaning. But a risen Christ becomes the symbol of the
Tx:20.1  sign of 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;
Tx:20.3  Nor can the resurrection be complete till your forgiveness rests on  Christ, along with mine. A week is short, and yet this holy week is
Tx:20.4  the cost of sin but of its end.] If you see glimpses of the face of  Christ behind the veil looking between the snow white petals of the
Tx:20.32  each one finds his savior when he is ready to look upon the face of  Christ and see Him sinless.
Tx:20.34  of every two who enter here to rest. And as they rest, the face of  Christ shines on them, and they remember the laws of God, forgetting
Tx:20.40  glad. You will not think to judge him, for who would see the face of  Christ and yet insist that judgment still has meaning? For this
Tx:20.42  forgiveness you will give each other already given; the face of  Christ you yet will look upon already seen.
Tx:20.49  His temples where love can never be. Would He Who sees the face of  Christ choose as His home the only place in all the universe where it

Tx:20.61  it is, the body cannot meaningfully be invested with attributes of  Christ or of the ego. Either must be an error, for both would place
Tx:20.69  salvation is. Be willing, then, to see your brother sinless that  Christ may rise before your vision and give you joy. And place no
Tx:22.11  anything except yourself. For no two people can unite except through  Christ, Whose vision sees them one.
Tx:22.12  could not come to anyone but you, never to “something else.” Where  Christ has entered, no one is alone, for never could He find a home
Tx:22.15  Christ comes to what is like Himself; the same, not different. For He
Tx:22.15  your Father's Will for you, and yours with His. And who is drawn to  Christ is drawn to God as surely as both are drawn to every holy
Tx:22.27  forgiveness is gently overlooked and disappears. For at its center  Christ has been reborn to light His home with vision that overlooks
Tx:22.28 All you need do to dwell in quiet here with  Christ is share His vision. Quickly and gladly is His vision given to
Tx:22.40  place, before the veil of sin that hangs between you and the face of  Christ. Let it be lifted! Raise it together, for it is but a veil
Tx:22.40  even here before the veil. Think what will happen after! The love of  Christ will light your faces and shine from them into a darkened
Tx:22.41  you, will you now open to the sorrowful. And none who looks upon the  Christ in you but will rejoice. How beautiful the sight you saw
Tx:24.40 The  Christ in you is very still. He looks on what He loves and knows it
Tx:24.42 Where could your peace arise but from forgiveness? The  Christ in you looks only on the truth and sees no condemnation that
Tx:24.44  to listen, and no hands to hold nor feet to guide. Be glad that only  Christ can lend you His while you have need of them. They are
Tx:24.45 The  Christ in you is very still. He knows where you are going, and He
Tx:24.45  you lead to Him. And what you see is like yourself. For what but  Christ is there to see and hear and love and follow home? He looked
Tx:24.46  gift of life that your forgiveness offers to your Self. The sight of  Christ is all there is to see. The song of Christ is all there is to
Tx:24.46  your Self. The sight of Christ is all there is to see. The song of  Christ is all there is to hear. The hand of Christ is all there is to
Tx:24.46  is to see. The song of Christ is all there is to hear. The hand of  Christ is all there is to hold. There is no journey but to walk with
Tx:24.48  there can be conflict. And every doubt must be about yourself.  Christ has no doubt, and from His certainty His quiet comes. He will
Tx:24.54  eyes be blinded by the veil of specialness that hides the face of  Christ from him, and you as well. And let the fear of God no longer

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

W1:161.15  now whom you had seen as merely flesh and bone and recognize that  Christ has come to you.
W1:161.16  him suddenly transformed from enemy to savior, from the devil into  Christ.

W1:164.2  both. For they are but your answer to your Father's call to you.  Christ answers for you, echoing your Self, using your voice to give
W1:164.3 How holy is your practicing today, as  Christ gives you His sight and hears for you and answers in your name
W1:164.5  innocence before your eyes. Now will you see it with the eyes of  Christ. Now is its transformation clear to you.
W1:164.7  its holiness reflects our own. We stand forgiven in the sight of  Christ, with all the world forgiven in our own.
W1:164.8  put away and leave a clean and open space within your mind where  Christ can come and offer you the treasure of salvation. He has need
W1:165.5  proves that you have exchanged your blindness for the seeing eyes of  Christ; your mind has come to lay aside denial and accept the Thought
W1:166.13  their wishes. It is you who teach them now. For you have learned of  Christ there is another way for them to walk. Teach them by showing

W1:166.15  mind becomes which chooses to accept His gifts and feel the touch of  Christ. Such is your mission now. For God entrusts the giving of His
W1:169.6 —past all thought of time, forgiveness, and the holy face of  Christ. The Son of God has merely disappeared into His Father, as his
W1:169.12 What is the face of  Christ but his who went a moment into timelessness and brought a
W1:170.13 Now do your eyes belong to  Christ, and He looks through them. Now your voice belongs to God and
W1:181.9  is all we seek for in the name of true perception, are the eyes of  Christ inevitably ours. And the love He feels for us becomes our own
W1:182.10  Christ is reborn as but a little Child each time a wanderer would
W1:182.11  the spear and sword you raised against an enemy without existence.  Christ has called you friend and brother. He has even come to you to
W1:192.8 Who can be born again in  Christ but him who has forgiven everyone he sees or thinks of or
W1:197.7  and He gives thanks for you unto Himself. To everyone who lives will  Christ yet come, for everyone must live and breathe in Him. His Being
W1:198.12  forgotten, all its weird beliefs forgotten with it, as the face of  Christ appears unveiled at last in this one dream. This is the gift
W1:198.12  guilty of, and see your innocence shining upon you from the face of  Christ.
W2:223.2 Our Father, let us see the face of  Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are
W2:229.1  my coming home that I will turn away no longer from the holy face of  Christ. And what I look upon attests the truth of the Identity I
W2:237.1  I hear as God my Father speaks to me. And I behold the world that  Christ would have me see, aware it ends the bitter dream of death,
W2:237.2  Christ is my eyes today, and His the ears which listen to the Voice
W2:WIW.5  the world. For we who made it must behold it through the eyes of  Christ, that what was made to die be restored to Everlasting Life.
W2:263.2  let us look on all we see through holy vision and the eyes of  Christ. Let all appearances seem pure to us that we may pass them by
W2:266.1  Your holy 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
W2:269.1  to see a world forgiven in which everyone shows me the face of  Christ and teaches me that what I look upon belongs to me, that
W2:270.2  will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone.  Christ is our eyes today. And through His sight, we offer healing to
W2:WIC.1  Christ is God's Son as He created Him. He is the Self we share,
W2:WIC.2  Christ is the link that keeps you one with God and guarantees that
W2:WIC.3 Home of the Holy Spirit and at home in God alone, does  Christ remain at peace within the Heaven of your holy mind. This is
W2:WIC.3  in truth. The rest is dreams. Yet will these dreams be given unto  Christ to fade before His glory and reveal your holy Self, the
W2:WIC.3  unto Christ to fade before His glory and reveal your holy Self, the  Christ, to you at last.
W2:WIC.4 The Holy Spirit reaches from the  Christ in you to all your dreams and bids them come to Him to be

W2:271.1  what I want to be the truth for me. Today I choose to look upon what  Christ would have me see, to listen to God's Voice, and seek the
W2:295.1  Christ asks that He may use my eyes today and thus redeem the world.
W2:295.2 My Father,  Christ has asked a gift of me, and one I give that it be given me.
W2:295.2  me, and one I give that it be given me. Help me to use the eyes of  Christ today and thus allow the Holy Spirit's love to bless all
W2:WISC.3  Coming is the time in which all minds are given to the hands of  Christ, to be returned to Spirit in the name of true creation and the
W2:WISC.4  now is equally released from what he made. In this equality is  Christ restored as one Identity, in which all Sons of God acknowledge
W2:303.1  be quiet and the sights to which I am accustomed disappear. Let  Christ be welcomed where He is at home, and let Him hear the sounds
W2:303.2  love above all things. He is my Self as You created me. It is not  Christ that can be crucified. Safe in Your arms, let me receive Your
W2:304.1  if I intrude my world upon it. Nor can I behold the holy sights  Christ looks upon unless it is His vision that I use. Perception is a
W2:304.1  I would bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of  Christ. And I will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have
W2:305.2 Father, the peace of  Christ is given us because it is Your will that we be saved. Help us
W2:306.2  an offering sufficient for Your Son. But in Your Love, the gift of  Christ is his.
W2:308.1  in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. The birth of  Christ is now, without a past or future. He has come to give His
W2:312.1  purpose as his goal for seeing. And he cannot fail to look upon what  Christ would have him see and share Christ's love for what he looks
W2:313.1  come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of  Christ look on a world forgiven. In His sight are all its sins
W2:313.2 Let us today behold each other in the sight of  Christ. How beautiful we are! How holy and how loving! Brother, come
W2:WIM.3 Forgiveness is the home of miracles. The eyes of  Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in love.
W2:353.1 Father, I give all that is mine today to  Christ to use in any way that best will serve the purpose that I
W2:353.1  His purpose. Then I lose myself in my Identity and recognize that  Christ is but my Self.
W2:354.1 My oneness with the  Christ establishes me as Your Son, beyond the reach of time and
W2:354.1  and wholly free of every law but Yours. I have no self except the  Christ in me. I have no purpose but His own. And He is like His
W2:354.1  His Father. Thus must I be one with You as well as Him. For who is  Christ except Your Son as You created Him? And what am I except the
W2:354.1  Christ except Your Son as You created Him? And what am I except the  Christ in me?
M:4.16  Voice directs them in all things. Joy is their song of thanks. And  Christ looks down on them in thanks as well. His need of them is just
M:4.24  welcoming, for threat is gone. No clouds remain to hide the face of  Christ. Now is the goal achieved. Forgiveness is the final goal of
M:12.1  He is forever One, because He is as God created Him. He has accepted  Christ, and He is saved.
M:13.4  toys? Does one whose vision has already glimpsed the face of  Christ look back with longing on a slaughter house? No one who has

M:23.1  healing because of this? The Bible says, “Ask in the name of Jesus  Christ.” Is this merely an appeal to magic? A name does not heal, nor
M:23.1  call forth any special power. What does it mean to call on Jesus  Christ? What does calling on his name confer? Why is the appeal to
M:23.4 The name of Jesus  Christ as such is but a symbol. But it stands for love that is not of

Tx:31.91 Thus is  Christ's strength invited to prevail, replacing all your weakness
W1:59.3  my pitiful illusion of seeing for the vision that is given by God.  Christ's vision is His gift, and He has given it to me. Let me call
W1:124.9  the mirror that this exercise will offer you. And you will see  Christ's face upon it, in reflection of your own.
W1:157.9 Into  Christ's Presence will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything
W1:158.5  time. But vision is his gift. This he can give directly, for  Christ's knowledge is not lost because He has a vision He can give to
W1:158.6  for it transcends what needs to be accomplished. Our concern is with  Christ's vision. This we can attain.
W1:158.7  Christ's vision has one law. It does not look upon a body and mistake
W1:158.10 Thus do you learn to give as you receive. And thus  Christ's vision looks on you as well. This lesson is not difficult to

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

W1:159.4  Christ's vision is the miracle in which all miracles are born. It is

W1:161.6  beyond the body, for its sight presents the symbol of love's “enemy”  Christ's vision does not see. The body is the target for attack, for

W1:164.9 Is not this purpose worthy to be yours? Is not  Christ's vision worthy to be sought above the world's unsatisfying
W1:165.6  the journey's end made certain, and salvation given you. Now is  Christ's power in your mind to heal as you were healed. For now you
W1:166.8 You cower fearfully lest you should feel  Christ's touch upon your shoulder and perceive His gentle hand
W1:166.9  has come upon you now, and justice has caught up with you at last.  Christ's hand has touched your shoulder, and you feel that you are
W1:166.14  them their fears are justified. Your hand becomes the giver of  Christ's touch; your change of mind becomes the proof that who

W1:192.6  his holiness. With anger gone, you will indeed perceive that for  Christ's vision and the gift of sight no sacrifice was asked, and
W2:I.6  end. Accept these little gifts of thanks from us, as through  Christ's vision we behold a world beyond the one we made and take
W2:247.1  and I will suffer. For forgiveness is the only means whereby  Christ's vision comes to me. Let me accept what His sight shows me as
W2:260.1  me remember my Identity. And let my sinlessness arise again before  Christ's vision, through which I would look upon my brothers and

W2:305.1 Who uses but  Christ's vision finds a peace so deep and quiet, undisturbable and
W2:305.1  home of fear. For Love has come and healed the world by giving it  Christ's peace.
W2:306.1 What but  Christ's vision would I use today when it can offer me a day in which
W2:WILJ.1  Christ's Second Coming gives the Son of God the gift to hear the

W2:WAI.4 Ours are the eyes through which  Christ's vision sees a world redeemed from every thought of sin. Ours

M:18.2  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 all
M:22.5  the Atonement for himself and can hardly offer it to his brother in  Christ's Name. He will, in fact, be unable to recognize his brother
M:23.5  no limit and no stain to mar your beautiful perfection. In his eyes  Christ's vision shines in perfect constancy. He has remained with
M:25.6  these gifts, and those who offer them to Him and Him alone go with  Christ's gratitude upon their hearts, and His holy sight not far
M:28.2  and the remembrance of God shines unimpeded across the world.  Christ's face is seen in every living thing, and nothing is held in
M:28.6  of wakening the minds of those asleep and seeing there the vision of  Christ's face to take the place of what they dreamed. The thought of

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

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

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

W1:42.7 Any thought that is  clearly related to the idea is suitable. You may, in fact, be

W1:132.8  not exist because what they behold must be the truth, and yet it  clearly contradicts the world. And some will find it in this course

Tx:12.39  look beyond it. It is given you to learn how to deny insanity and  come forth from your private world in peace.
Tx:12.41  for this, light must be excluded. Dreams disappear when light has  come and you can see.

Tx:18.11  shining upon it! Heaven beholds it and rejoices that you have let it  come to you. [And God Himself is glad that your relationship is as it
Tx:18.18  nor do you realize that the emotions which the dream produces must  come from you. It is the figures in the dream and what they do that
Tx:18.19  place. It is the means by which you try to make your sleeping dreams  come true. From this you do not awaken. The special relationship] is
Tx:18.21  It will be a happy dream, and one which you will share with all who  come within your sight. Through it, the blessing which the Holy
Tx:18.23  is no dream. Its coming means that you have chosen truth, and it has  come because you have been willing to let your special relationship
Tx:18.32  be holy. It is the answer. The desire and the willingness to let it  come precedes its coming. You prepare your minds for it only to the
Tx:18.33  that shadows surround it. That is why you came. If you could  come without them, you would not need the holy instant. Come to it
Tx:18.33  If you could come without them, you would not need the holy instant.  Come to it not in arrogance, assuming that you must achieve the state
Tx:18.34  with His Will. You do not need the strength of willingness to  come from you, but only from His Will.
Tx:18.35 The holy instant does not  come from your little willingness alone. It is always the result of
Tx:18.36  it. That is but to confuse your role with God's. Atonement cannot  come to those who think that they must first atone, but only to those
Tx:18.44 Happy dreams  come true, not because they are dreams, but only because they are
Tx:18.46  is impossible, so is it equally impossible that the holy instant  come to either of you without the other. And it will come to both at
Tx:18.46  holy instant come to either of you without the other. And it will  come to both at the request of either.
Tx:18.62  lifted for you, to welcome you to openness of mind and freedom.  Come to this place of refuge, where you can be yourself in peace. Not
Tx:18.72  you will not see the grandeur which surrounds you. God cannot  come into a body, nor can you join Him there. Limits on love will
Tx:18.79  surrounds your little kingdom, waiting at the barrier you built to  come inside and shine upon the barren ground. See how life springs up
Tx:18.79  by one into this holy place, but they will not depart as they had  come, alone. The love they brought with them will stay with them, as
Tx:18.81 Love's answer is inevitable. It will  come because you came without the body and interposed no barriers
Tx:18.82  fully at your weak request. You do not recognize that love has  come because you have not yet let go of all the barriers you hold
Tx:18.83  cloud your eyes and keep you sightless. Yet He Whom you welcomed has  come to you and would welcome you. He has waited long to give you
Tx:18.98 And when the memory of God has  come to you in the holy place of forgiveness, you will remember
Tx:19.14  has raised unto Himself and both of you. Lay faithlessness aside and  come to it together. There will you see the miracle of your
Tx:19.36  is now a temple of healing—a place where all the weary ones can  come and find rest. Here is the rest that waits for all after the
Tx:19.66  the quiet communion in which the Father and the Son are joined. Oh  come ye faithful to the holy union of the Father and Son in you! And
Tx:19.70 Here is your choice, and it is free. But all that lies in it will  come with it, and what you think you are can never be apart from it.
Tx:19.84  death see not how often and how loudly they call to it and bid it  come to save them from communication. For death is seen as safety,
Tx:19.96  of things beyond you, forces you cannot control, and thoughts that  come to you against your will. It is your will to look on this. No
Tx:19.99  to look on this too soon. This is the place to which everyone must  come when he is ready. Once he has found his brother, he is ready.
Tx:19.105 Here is the holy place of resurrection to which we  come again; to which we will return until redemption is accomplished
Tx:20.6  it ready to receive the gifts it wants by offering them to those who  come unto its chosen home or those it would attract to it. And there
Tx:20.14  Walk with him now rejoicing, for the savior from illusions has  come to greet you and lead you home with him.
Tx:20.15  to one another the freedom and the strength to lead you there. And  come before each other's holy altar where the strength and freedom
Tx:20.58  But we have also said the means to meet the Holy Spirit's goal will  come from the same Source as does His purpose. Being so simple and
Tx:20.67 Vision will  come to you at first in glimpses, but they will be enough to show you
Tx:20.69  Spirit's vision and to rejoice in along with Him. For peace will  come to all who ask for it with real desire and sincerity of purpose,
Tx:20.77  of vision? And after vision, who is there who could refuse what must  come after? Think but an instant just on this—you can behold the
Tx:21.17  by events outside of him. It is impossible that the happenings that  come to him were not his choice. His power of decision is the
Tx:21.28  from your Father, you made in secret, and the instant of release has  come to you. All its effects are gone because its source has been
Tx:21.39  way. It is like saying that the moon and sun are one because they  come with night and day, and so they must be joined. Yet sight of one
Tx:21.45  been waiting for the birth of freedom, the acceptance of release to  come to you. And now you recognize that it was not the ego that
Tx:21.47  of peace. For it remembers Heaven, and now it sees that Heaven has  come to earth at last, from which the ego's rule has kept it out so
Tx:21.47  last, from which the ego's rule has kept it out so long. Heaven has  come because it found a home in your relationship on earth. And earth
Tx:21.55  threatens dissociation as much as all of it. And all of it will  come with any part. Here is the part you can accept. What reason
Tx:21.58 You have  come very close to this. Faith and belief have shifted, and you have
Tx:21.58  never ask. Does not your reason tell you now the question must have  come from something that you do not know but must belong to you?
Tx:21.72  they know not their enemy, except they hate him. In hatred they have  come together but have not joined each other. For had they done so,
Tx:21.87  who see the final question is necessary to the rest, as peace must  come to those who choose to heal and not to judge.
Tx:22.1  on yourselves, so long enslaved. Rejoice whom God hath joined have  come together and need no longer look on sin apart. No two can look
Tx:22.2  where each one thinks the other has what he has not. They  come together, each to complete himself and rob the other. They stay
Tx:22.12  you who taught him what he knows because you knew it. He could not  come to anyone but you, never to “something else.” Where Christ has
Tx:22.38 When you  come to the place where the branch in the road is quite apparent, you
Tx:22.41  as weary now as once you were. How thankful will they be to see you  come among them, offering Christ's forgiveness to dispel their faith
Tx:22.49  Force is irresistible in truth. What, then, must happen when they  come together? Can the illusion of immovability be long defended from
Tx:22.56 Children of peace, the light has  come to you. The light you bring you do not recognize, and yet you
Tx:23.6  Look on it lovingly, and see the light of Heaven in it. So will you  come to understand all that is given you. In kind forgiveness will
Tx:23.7 The memory of God comes to the quiet mind. It cannot  come where there is conflict, for a mind at war against itself
Tx:23.44  salvation is impossible cannot uphold a quiet, calm assurance it has  come. Forgiveness cannot be withheld a little. Nor is it possible to
Tx:24.2  alternative. The truth arises from what He knows. And your decisions  come from your beliefs as certainly as all creation rose in His Mind
Tx:24.3  to take its place. And now must war, the substitute for peace,  come with the one alternative that you can choose for love. Your
Tx:24.6  itself. But what is different calls for judgment, and this must  come from someone “better,” someone incapable of being like what he
Tx:24.20 You have  come far along the way of truth—too far to falter now. Just one
Tx:24.20  Leave all illusions of yourself outside this place to which you  come in hope and honesty.
Tx:24.32  joy stand there beside the bier on which they sleep and call them to  come forth and waken from their dream of death. Yet they hear
Tx:24.47  a war with love, consider this: the holy Lord of Heaven has Himself  come down to you to offer you your own completion. What is His is
Tx:24.48  becomes your certainty. And where is doubt when certainty has  come?
Tx:24.69  does not exceed your own, except to say that what is yours will  come to you when you are ready. Here are the means and purpose
Tx:24.70  that you want to be yourself. It is the means to make your wish  come true. It gives the eyes with which you look on it, the hands
Tx:25.1  made manifest to those who know Him not, that He may call to them to  come to Him and see Him where they thought their bodies were. Then
Tx:25.27  it alone. [Nor need he stay more than an instant.] For he has  come with Heaven's Help within him ready to lead him out of darkness
Tx:25.34  tired hearts that look on sin and beat its sad refrain. From you can  come their rest. From you can rise a world they will rejoice to look
Tx:25.73  could they call forth to speak on his behalf? And who would  come to plead for him and not against his life? No justice would be
Tx:26.1  nothing attached to anything beyond itself. All seeming entities can  come a little nearer or go a little farther off but cannot join.
Tx:26.9  It is your special function to ensure the door be opened that he may  come forth to shine on you and give you back the gift of freedom by
Tx:26.27  once sin was believed to be. And here does every light of heaven  come to be rekindled and increased in joy. For here is what was lost
Tx:26.29  there and sing their song of gratitude and praise. And as they  come to you to be complete, so will you go with them. For no one
Tx:26.34  eternal passed away in Heaven too soon for anything to notice it had  come. What disappeared too quickly to affect the simple knowledge of
Tx:26.38  unreal. Such is the justice your ever-loving Father has ensured must  come to you. And from your own unfairness to yourself has He
Tx:26.39  Let the dead and gone be peacefully forgotten. Resurrection has  come to take its place. And now you are a part of resurrection, not
Tx:26.41 The shadow voices do not change the laws of time or of eternity. They  come from what is past and gone and hinder not the true existence of
Tx:26.44  in power of attack, in hurt and harm, in sacrifice and death has  come to you. For no one can make one illusion real and still escape
Tx:26.70  between the time its purpose is made yours and its effects will  come to you. In this form is the error still obscured that is the
Tx:26.73  at now. Why wait till they unfold in time and fear they may not  come, although already there? You have been told that everything
Tx:26.76  time is merely a denial of the fact that consequence and cause must  come as one. Look not to time but to the little space between you
Tx:26.79  and withering have passed forever from the land where They have  come.
Tx:26.80  hundred or a thousand years to Them, or tens of thousands? When They  come, time's purpose is fulfilled. What never was passes to
Tx:26.80  is fulfilled. What never was passes to nothingness when They have  come. What hatred claimed is given up to love, and freedom lights up
Tx:26.81  for this gift of what has been withheld so long. For They have  come to gather in Their Own. What has been locked is opened; what was
Tx:26.82  earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love. And They  come quickly to the living temple, where a home for Them has been set
Tx:26.82  has been set up. There is no place in Heaven holier. And They have  come to dwell within the temple offered them, to be Their
Tx:26.84  ancient scars are healed within His sight. An ancient miracle has  come to bless and to replace an ancient enmity that came to kill. In
Tx:26.84  forever be. Now is the Holy Spirit's purpose done. For They have  come! For They have come at last!
Tx:26.84  is the Holy Spirit's purpose done. For They have come! For They have  come at last!
Tx:27.2  that he has been condemned. And what to you has been unfair will  come to him in righteousness. The unjust vengeance that you suffer
Tx:27.8  of them if they enjoy their benefits or not. The end of life must  come, whatever way that life be spent. And so take pleasure in the
Tx:27.11  been removed, is Heaven free to be remembered. Here its peace can  come and perfect healing take the place of death. The body can become
Tx:27.19  miracle obeys; that healing sees no specialness at all. It does not  come from pity but from love. And love would prove all suffering is
Tx:27.35 A Power wholly limitless has  come, not to destroy, but to receive Its own. There is no choice of
Tx:27.41  the meaning of the question does the meaningfulness of the answer  come. Here is it possible to separate your wishes from the answer, so
Tx:27.45  this possible. But if you are afraid of healing, then it cannot  come through you. The only thing that is required for a healing is a
Tx:27.46  lifted up and comforted. There is no sadness where a miracle has  come to heal. And nothing more than just one instant of your love
Tx:27.48  Come to the holy instant and be healed, for nothing that is there
Tx:27.58  has no effects. And this it proves because its own effects have  come to take their place. It matters not the name by which you called
Tx:27.68  you in any way request them for yourself. This is how all illusions  come about. The one who makes them does not see himself as making
Tx:27.74  fading from your sight, although your eyes are closed. A smile has  come to lighten up your sleeping face. The sleep is peaceful now, for
Tx:27.82  cannot intrude upon eternity. It is a joke to think that time can  come to circumvent eternity, which means there is no time.
Tx:27.85  their cause. And by His judgment are effects removed. Perhaps you  come in tears, but hear Him say, “My brother, Holy Son of God, behold
Tx:28.11  returns to them. Their own remembering is quiet now, and what has  come to take its place will not be wholly unremembered afterwards.
Tx:28.15  the causeless not? And where is sacrifice, when memory of God has  come to take the place of loss? What better way to close the little
Tx:28.17  effects, which are as limitless as is itself. Yet must all healing  come about because the mind is recognized as not within the body, and
Tx:28.30  protected, cherished, and upheld by firm belief, lest God should  come to bridge the little gap that leads to Him. Fight not His coming
Tx:28.33  will brush them all aside and thus make room for Him Who wills to  come and bridge His Son's returning to Himself.
Tx:28.35  for your Father and your Self. The door is open that all those may  come who would no longer starve and would enjoy the feast of plenty
Tx:28.35  And they will meet with your invited Guests the miracle has asked to  come to you.
Tx:28.45 I thank you, Father, knowing you will  come to close each little gap that lies between the broken pieces of
Tx:28.46  What then would you perceive within the gap? The seeds of sickness  come from the belief that there is joy in separation, and its giving
Tx:28.48  did not give them your support. Where fear has gone, there love must  come because there are but these alternatives. Where one appears, the
Tx:28.60  no gap between Himself and what He is cannot be false. What will can  come between what must be one, and in Whose wholeness there can be no
Tx:28.64  and make fast the bolts. The wind will topple it, and rain will  come and carry it into oblivion.
Tx:29.1  For He must be deceptive in His Love. Be wary, then; let Him not  come too close, and leave a gap between you and His love through
Tx:29.3  a gap between you, lest he turn again into an enemy. [Let him  come close to you, and you jumped back; as you approached, he
Tx:29.7  sometimes gone. Thus is love seen as treacherous because it seems to  come and go uncertainly and offer no stability to you. You do not see
Tx:29.12  one. Where they are causeless, their effects are gone, and love must  come wherever they are not. Why are you not rejoicing? You are free
Tx:29.13 Your Guest has  come. You asked Him, and He came. You did not hear Him enter, for you
Tx:29.14  you have received. Yet He Who entered in but waits for you to  come where you invited Him to be. There is no other place where He
Tx:29.23  that the darkness may be lifted from your mind. When light has  come to him through your forgiveness, he will not forget his savior,
Tx:29.34  The quiet that surrounds you dwells in him, and from this quiet  come the happy dreams in which your hands are joined in innocence.
Tx:29.36  some way calls for death. And those who serve the lord of death have  come to worship in a separated world, each with his tiny spear and
Tx:29.39  will disappear, and night and day will be no more. All things that  come and go, the tides, the seasons, and the lives of men; all things
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 feared. Its life and
Tx:29.57  the world where the impossible has happened. Here the deathless  come to die, the all-encompassing to suffer loss, the timeless to be
Tx:29.57  and the Son of God, as perfect, sinless and as loving as his Father,  come to hate a little while, to suffer pain, and finally to die.
Tx:29.63  is the worship of despair and terror and the dream from which they  come. Judgment is an injustice to God's Son, and it is justice that
Tx:30.44 Thoughts seem to  come and go. Yet all this means is that you are sometimes aware of
Tx:30.63  love of God. Yet is the love of Christ accepted first. And then will  come the knowledge They are One.
Tx:30.64  hand you hold was waiting but for you to join Him. Now that you have  come, would He delay in showing you the way that He must walk with
Tx:30.92  appearances beyond the hope of change is that the miracle cannot  come forth from you consistently. For you have asked it be withheld
Tx:30.93  seeing this. And you will see the Christ in him because you let Him  come to you. And when He has appeared to you, you will be certain you
Tx:31.17  does he ask you for? And listen well! For he is asking what will  come to you because you see an image of yourself and hear your voice
Tx:31.22 Be very still an instant.  Come without all thought of what you ever learned before and put
Tx:31.22  has been made. Nothing will hurt you in this holy place to which you  come to listen silently and learn the truth of what you really want.
Tx:31.22  asked to learn. But as you hear it, you will understand you need but  come away without the thoughts you did not want and that were never
Tx:31.24  is not the form you answer to. He asks and you receive, for you have  come with but one purpose—that you both may learn you love each
Tx:31.35  world can offer seem to be quite large in number, but the time must  come when everyone begins to see how like they are to one another.
Tx:31.35  not the lesson in itself. The lesson has a purpose, and in this you  come to understand what it is for.
Tx:31.38  fight against this step is to defeat your purpose here. You did not  come to learn to find a road the world does not contain. The search
Tx:31.43  the learning of the world is for. This is its purpose—that you  come without a self and make one as you go along. And by the time you
Tx:31.49  not given, and they must be made. Not one of them is true, and many  come from feverish imaginations, hot with hatred and distortions born
Tx:31.51  the world as well as you to have such prescience in the things to  come.
Tx:31.59  can teach no images of you unless you want to learn them. There will  come a time when images have all gone by, and you will see you know
Tx:31.69  them sometimes, but will not see them as meaningless. And so they  come in fearful form, with content still concealed, to shake your
Tx:31.74  merely look on darkness and perceive the terrified imaginings that  come from guilty thoughts and concepts born of fear. And what you see
Tx:31.85 For He has  come, and He is asking this.
Tx:31.92  it occurs but disappear as mists before the sun. A miracle has  come to heal God's Son and close the door upon his dreams of
Tx:31.95  Your Sons. My faith in them is Yours. I am as sure that they will  come to me as You are sure of what they are and will forever be. They
Tx:31.97 And now we say “Amen.” For Christ has  come to dwell in the abode You set for Him before time was, in calm
W1:9.2  clear a little of the darkness away, and understanding will finally  come to lighten every corner of the mind which has been cleared of
W1:15.2  beginning of real vision. You can be certain that real vision will  come quickly when this has occurred.
W1:26.3  you can no longer believe in yourself. A false image of yourself has  come to take the place of what you are.
W1:30.5  applying today's idea with your eyes closed, using whatever subjects  come to mind and looking within rather than without. Today's idea
W1:31.3  your inner world, merely let whatever thoughts cross your mind  come into your awareness, each to be considered for a moment and then
W1:31.3  Try not to establish any thought of hierarchy among them. Watch them  come and go as dispassionately as possible. Do not dwell on any one
W1:42.7  understanding some of your own thoughts contain. Let them  come without censoring unless you realize your mind is merely
W1:42.7  intrude. You may also reach a point where no thoughts at all seem to  come to mind. If such interferences occur, open your eyes and repeat
W1:42.8  for today's exercises. Try merely to step back and let the thoughts  come. If you find this difficult, it is better to spend the practice
W1:46.6  After you have applied the idea for today to all those who have  come to mind, tell yourself,
W1:47.1  of any problem and to resolve it in such a way that only good can  come of it? What is there in you that gives you the recognition of
W1:50.4  your consciousness. Repeat it, think about it, let related thoughts  come to help you recognize its truth, and allow peace to flow over
W1:58.2  I see. From my holiness does the perception of the real world  come. Having forgiven, I no longer see myself as guilty. I can accept
W1:61.7  eyes closed if the situation permits. Let a few related thoughts  come to you, and repeat the idea to yourself if your mind wanders
W1:62.8 Let related thoughts  come freely, for your heart will recognize these words, and in your
W1:63.5  your eyes, you will probably find it easier to let related thoughts  come to you in the minute or two which you should devote to
W1:64.9  to reflecting on this with closed eyes. Related thoughts will  come to help you if you remember the crucial importance of your
W1:68.8  see you as my friend that I may remember you are part of me and  come to know myself.
W1:70.1  temptation not to believe the idea for today. Salvation seems to  come from anywhere except from you. So, too, does the source of
W1:70.9 My salvation comes from me. It cannot  come from anywhere else.
W1:70.11 My salvation cannot  come from any of these things. My salvation comes from me, and only
W1:75.1 The light has  come. You are healed and you can heal. The light has come. You are
W1:75.1 The light has come. You are healed and you can heal. The light has  come. You are saved, and you can save. You are at peace, and you
W1:75.1  go. Darkness and turmoil and death have disappeared. The light has  come.

W1:75.10  From this time forth you will see differently. Today the light has  come. And you will see the world that has been promised you since
W1:75.12 The light has  come. I have forgiven the world.

W1:90.2  a grievance; the solution is a miracle. And I invite the solution to  come to me through my forgiveness of the grievance and my welcome of
W1:91.13  of God and all His thoughts. It is from Them your strength will  come. It is through Their strong support that you will feel the

W1:96.15 If you succeed, the thoughts that  come to you will tell you you are saved and that your mind has found
W1:98.2  of purpose and with thanks that doubt is gone and surety has  come. We have a mighty purpose to fulfill and have been given
W1:98.4  yet unborn will hear the call we heard and answer it, when they have  come to make their choice again. We do not choose but for ourselves

W1:98.12  you do so, you have let your mind be readied for the happy time to  come.
W1:101.5  The exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must  come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause. Accept

W1:107.4  there could be no fear, no doubt, and no attack. When truth has  come, all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts
W1:107.4  beliefs in the ephemeral. They have no place because the truth has  come, and they are nowhere. They cannot be found, for truth is
W1:107.5 When truth has  come, it does not stay a while to disappear or change to something
W1:107.5  to something else. It does not shift and alter in its form, nor  come and go and go and come again. It stays exactly as it always was,
W1:107.5  It does not shift and alter in its form, nor come and go and go and  come again. It stays exactly as it always was, to be depended on in
W1:107.6 When truth has  come, it harbors in its wings the gift of perfect constancy and love
W1:107.7 Truth does not  come and go nor shift nor change, in this appearance now and then in
W1:108.12  pause a while, expecting to receive the gift you gave, and it will  come to you in the amount in which you gave it. You will find you
W1:109.2  suffering for all the world and everyone who ever came and yet will  come to linger for a while. Here is the thought in which the Son of
W1:109.4  You call to all to join you in your rest, and they will hear and  come to you because you rest in God. They will not hear another voice
W1:109.6  still and thankfully accept its healing. No more fearful dreams will  come now that you rest in God. Take time today to slip away from
W1:109.10 Open the temple doors, and let them  come from far across the world, and near as well—your distant
W1:110.3  created you. You need no thought but just this one to let redemption  come to light the world and free it from the past.
W1:R3.6  the Holy Spirit uses will not fail. The wisdom of your mind will  come to your assistance. Give direction at the start, and then lean
W1:R3.13  with each of these ideas will bring such large advances that we  come from these reviews with learning gains so great that we begin
W1:119.3  all things today, that I may learn how to accept the truth in me and  come to recognize my sinlessness.
W1:123.1 Today let us be thankful. We have  come to gentler pathways and to smoother roads. There is no thought
W1:123.4  not go alone. And we give thanks that in our solitude a Friend has  come to speak the saving Word of God to us.
W1:124.2  is our Companion as we walk the world a little while. And those who  come to follow us will recognize the way because the light we carry
W1:124.4 No meaningless anxieties can  come between our faith and our awareness of His Presence. We are one
W1:124.6  forms of suffering in anyone in times gone by and times as yet to  come, as easily as in the ones who walk beside them now. Their
W1:124.9  be ready to accept the gain today. Yet sometime, somewhere, it will  come to you, nor will you fail to recognize it when it dawns with
W1:127.10  it grow in strength and health to shed its blessing upon all who  come to learn to cast aside the world they thought was made in hate
W1:130.8  recognize what it is you seek. You do not want illusions. And you  come to these five minutes emptying your hands of all the petty
W1:131.17  His aid slip effortlessly past it to the light. Today that day has  come. Today God keeps His ancient promise to His holy Son, as does
W1:131.17  does His Son remember his to Him. This is a day of gladness, for we  come to the appointed time and place where you will find the goal of
W1:131.18  from dismal thoughts and meaningless laments. Salvation's time has  come. Today is set by Heaven Itself to be a time of grace for you and
W1:132.6  as you change your mind. But it is pride that argues you have  come into a world quite separate from yourself, impervious to what
W1:133.12 And so we  come to the criterion for choice which is the hardest to believe,
W1:133.12  any guilt about your choice, you have allowed the ego's goals to  come between the real alternatives, and thus you do not realize there
W1:133.14  pain. Heaven Itself is reached by empty hands and open minds, which  come with nothing to find everything and claim it as their own. We
W1:135.19  knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present, and to  come, are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is your good?
W1:135.27  hopelessness. Now is the light of hope reborn in you, for now you  come without defense to learn the part for you within the plan of
W1:136.15  And we will give a quarter of an hour twice to ask the truth to  come to us and set us free.
W1:136.16 And truth will  come, for it has never been apart from us. It merely waits for just
W1:136.21  thoughts, yield to judgment, or make plans against uncertainties to  come, you have again misplaced yourself, and made a bodily identity
W1:137.10  how great your offering to all the world when you let healing  come to you. But you are never healed alone. And legions upon legions
W1:137.16  place of all the foolish thoughts that ever were imagined. Now we  come together to make well all that was sick and offer blessing where
W1:138.2  it is reflected in some form the world can understand. Truth cannot  come where it could only be perceived with fear, for this would be
W1:138.2  to illusions. Opposition makes the truth unwelcome, and it cannot  come.
W1:139.1 Here is the end of choice. For here we  come to a decision to accept ourselves as God created us. And what is
W1:139.6  to be a home where those who claim they do not know themselves can  come to question what it is they are.
W1:139.7 And they will  come again until the time Atonement is accepted, and they learn it is
W1:139.8  senseless musings such as this. We have a mission here. We did not  come to reinforce the madness which we once believed in. Let us not
W1:140.4  by forms the dream may take. Sickness where guilt is absent cannot  come, for it is but another form of guilt. Atonement does not heal
W1:140.5  you who have been cured in God and not in idle dreams. For cure must  come from holiness, and holiness cannot be found where sin is
W1:140.11  time when we can hear our Father speak to us. We hear Him now. We  come to Him today.
W1:R4.9  charge of all the thoughts you will receive that day. They will not  come from you alone, for they will all be shared with Him. And so
W1:151.10  Christ in all of them. You will no longer doubt that only good can  come to you who are beloved of God, for He will judge all happenings
W1:152.14  our Self that He reveal Himself to us. And He Who never left will  come again to our awareness, grateful to restore His home to God as
W1:153.7  is weakness. It proclaims you have denied the Christ and  come to fear His Father's anger. What can save you now from your
W1:153.11  brothers choose as they have done. God has elected all, but few have  come to realize His Will is but their own. And while you fail to
W1:153.11  the world in grim imprisonment. Nor will you learn that light has  come to you, and your escape has been accomplished. For you will not
W1:153.12  ensured. The game of fear is gladly laid aside when children  come to see the benefits salvation brings.
W1:153.13  sin and guilt, be happy now. That game is over. Now a quiet time has  come in which we put away the toys of guilt and lock our quaint and
W1:153.14  escape, were but his own deluded fantasy. God's ministers have  come to waken him from the dark dreams this story has evoked in his
W1:153.17  His Voice and learn what He would have us do the hour that is yet to  come, while thanking Him for all the gifts He gave us in the one gone
W1:153.21  and strength and peace that shine from them to all their brothers  come from Him. These are His gifts to you. Defenselessness is all you
W1:155.2 The world is an illusion. Those who choose to  come to it are seeking for a place where they can be illusions and
W1:155.3  will remain awhile in evidence for those to look upon who chose to  come and have not yet rejoiced to find they were mistaken in the
W1:157.3  of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning. Yet you have  come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise
W1:157.6  leaves a vision in our eyes which we can offer everyone that he may  come the sooner to the same experience in which the world is quietly
W1:157.7  a little nearer its deliverance. And you who bring it light will  come to see the light more sure, the vision more distinct.
W1:157.8 The time will  come when you will not return in the same form in which you now
W1:158.2  vision can. The revelation that the Father and the Son are one will  come in time to every mind. Yet is that time determined by the mind
W1:158.4 Time is a trick—a sleight of hand, a vast illusion in which figures  come and go as if by magic. Yet there is a plan behind appearances
W1:158.4  which does not change. The script is written. When experience will  come to end your doubting has been set. For we but see the journey
W1:160.6  him out and show him that he is no stranger now. The miracle will  come. For in his home his Self remains. It asked no stranger in and
W1:160.9 Today we offer thanks that Christ has  come to search the world for what belongs to Him. His vision sees no
W1:160.10  his Self is clearly recognized, his home remembered, and salvation  come.
W1:161.11  have attempted earlier. Your readiness is closer now, and you will  come today nearer Christ's vision. If you are intent on reaching it,
W1:161.15  you had seen as merely flesh and bone and recognize that Christ has  come to you.
W1:162.1  and vaporous illusions vanish as these words are spoken. For they  come from God.
W1:162.6  These words dispel the night, and darkness is no more. The light is  come today to bless the world, for you have recognized the Son of
W1:163.1  envy, and all forms in which the wish to be as you are not may  come to tempt you. All such thoughts are but reflections of the
W1:163.2  is real, inevitable, worthy of their trust. For it alone will surely  come.
W1:163.3  of aspirations and of dreams. But death is counted on. For it will  come with certain footsteps when the time has come for its arrival.
W1:163.3  on. For it will come with certain footsteps when the time has  come for its arrival. It will never fail to take all life as hostage
W1:164.1  is the only time there is. And so today, this instant, now, we  come to look upon what is forever there—not in our sight, but in
W1:164.3  On this day is grief laid by, for sights and sounds which  come from nearer than the world are clear to you who will today
W1:164.8  and leave a clean and open space within your mind where Christ can  come and offer you the treasure of salvation. He has need of your
W1:165.5  your blindness for the seeing eyes of Christ; your mind has  come to lay aside denial and accept the Thought of God as its
W1:166.9 Your ancient fear has  come upon you now, and justice has caught up with you at last.
W1:166.12  like Himself. The gifts you have are not for you alone. What He has  come to offer you, you now must learn to give. This is the lesson
W1:167.5 Death cannot  come from life. Ideas remain united to their source. They can extend
W1:167.5  be. As they were born, so will they then give birth. And where they  come from, there will they return.
W1:168.4  the means by which this world will disappear, and vision first will  come with knowledge but an instant later. For in grace you see a
W1:168.6 And He descends to meet us as we  come to Him, for what He has prepared for us He gives and we receive.
W1:168.7 Your grace is given me. I claim it now. Father, I  come to You. And You will come to me who asks. I am the Son You love.
W1:168.7  is given me. I claim it now. Father, I come to You. And You will  come to me who asks. I am the Son You love.
W1:169.1  It is past learning yet the goal of learning, for grace cannot  come until the mind prepares itself for true acceptance. Grace
W1:169.9  speak of things beyond and listen to words which explain what is to  come is past already. Yet what meaning can the words convey to those
W1:170.11 Where does the totally insane belief in gods of vengeance  come from? Love has not confused its attributes with those of fear.
W1:R5.8  you. For I share your doubts and fears a little while, that you may  come to me who recognize the road by which all fears and doubts are
W1:I2.3  than this is needed. It will be enough to guarantee the rest will  come.
W1:182.11  existence. Christ has called you friend and brother. He has even  come to you to ask your help in letting Him go home completed and
W1:182.11  your help in letting Him go home completed and completely. He has  come as does a little child who must beseech his father for
W1:183.8  do we give an invitation which can never be refused. And God will  come and answer it Himself. Think not He hears the little prayers of
W1:184.13  can fail who seeks the meaning of the Name of God. Experience must  come to supplement the word. But first you must accept One Name for
W1:185.4  bargain. And what bargain can give them the peace of God? Illusions  come to take His place. And what He means is lost to sleeping minds
W1:185.9  choose God's peace, or you have asked for dreams. And dreams will  come as you requested them. Yet will God's peace come just as
W1:185.9  And dreams will come as you requested them. Yet will God's peace  come just as certainly and to remain with you forever. It will not be
W1:186.6  and helpless. Sin cannot tarnish the truth in you, and misery can  come not near the holy home of God.
W1:186.14 These are the forms which never can deceive, although they  come from Formlessness Itself. Forgiveness is an earthly form of love
W1:188.8  not let them stray. We let the light within our minds direct them to  come home. We have betrayed them, ordering that they depart from us.
W1:189.7  before from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and  come with wholly empty hands unto your God.
W1:189.9  choose the way in which we go to Him. But we do choose to let Him  come. And with this choice we rest. And in our quiet hearts and open
W1:190.4 Peace to such foolishness! The time has  come to laugh at such insane ideas. There is no need to think of them
W1:190.6  it as a hospital for pain, a sickly place where living things must  come at last to die?
W1:190.9 Lay down your arms and  come without defense into the quiet place where Heaven's peace holds
W1:191.10  began. For time has lost its hold upon the world. The Son of God has  come in glory to redeem the lost, to save the helpless, and to give
W1:191.10  Who could see the world as dark and sinful when God's Son has  come again at last to set it free?
W1:192.3  the world. It has no meaning here. Forgiveness is the closest it can  come to earth. For being Heaven-borne, it has no form at all. Yet God
W1:193.14  a thousand seeming obstacles to peace in just one day. Let mercy  come to you more quickly. Do not try to hold it off another day,
W1:193.16 Each hour spend a little time today, and in the days to  come, in practicing the lesson in forgiveness in the form established
W1:194.8  future in the hands of God. For thus you call the memory of Him to  come again, replacing all your thoughts of sin and evil with the
W1:194.9  For in God's hands we rest untroubled, sure that only good can  come to us. If we forget, we will be gently reassured. If we accept
W1:196.12  but you your mind can try to crucify. Yet your redemption, too, will  come from you.
W1:197.7  thanks for you unto Himself. To everyone who lives will Christ yet  come, for everyone must live and breathe in Him. His Being in His
W1:198.6  ever can be found upon this earth. His words are born in God, and  come to you with Heaven's love upon them. Those who hear His words
W1:198.6  as one at last. And as this one will fade away, the Word of God will  come to take its place, for it will be remembered then and loved.
W1:198.9 Today we practice letting freedom  come to make its home with you. The truth bestows these words upon
W1:198.15 Today we  come still nearer to the end of everything that yet would stand
W1:198.15  between this vision and our sight. And we are glad that we have  come this far and recognize that He Who brought us here will not
W1:198.15  through Him today. Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has  come. The time has come today.
W1:198.15  Now is it time for your deliverance. The time has come. The time has  come today.
W1:200.2 This is the final point to which each one must  come at last, to lay aside all hope of finding happiness where there
W1:200.4  Come home. You have not found your happiness in foreign places and in
W1:200.10 Now is there silence. Seek no further. You have  come to where the road is carpeted with leaves of false desires,
W1:R6.1  the world from every form of bondage and invite the memory of God to  come again.
W2:I.2  final step Himself. And we are sure His promises are kept. We have  come far along the road, and now we wait for Him. We will continue
W2:I.3 We will continue with a central thought for all the days to  come. And we will use that thought to introduce our times of rest and
W2:I.4 Now do we  come to Him with but His Word upon our minds and hearts. And wait for
W2:I.4  of invitation that His Voice suggests, and then we wait for Him to  come to us.
W2:I.5  fail. Sit silently and wait upon your Father. He has willed to  come to you when you have recognized it is your will He do so. And
W2:I.5  have recognized it is your will He do so. And you could have never  come this far unless you saw, however dimly, that it is your will.
W2:I.10  the need for practice almost done. For in this final section we will  come to understand that we need only call to God and all temptations
W2:I.11  lessons and the periods of wordless, deep experience which should  come afterwards. These special thoughts should be reviewed each day,
W2:WF.2  easily accessible to doubt, and further kept from reason. What can  come between a fixed projection and the aim that it has chosen as its
W2:221.1 Father, I  come to You today to seek the peace that You alone can give. I come
W2:221.1  I come to You today to seek the peace that You alone can give. I  come in silence. In the quiet of my heart, the deep recesses of my
W2:221.1  I wait and listen for Your Voice. My Father, speak to me today. I  come to hear Your Voice in silence and in certainty and love, sure
W2:222.2  have no words except Your Name upon our lips and in our minds as we  come quietly into Your Presence now and ask to rest with You in peace
W2:WS.4 Let us  come daily to this holy place and spend a while together. Here we
W2:WS.4  pushing through the soil, the trees are budding now, and birds have  come to live within their branches. Earth is being born again in new
W2:WS.4  is being born again in new perception. Night has gone, and we have  come together in the light.
W2:233.1  cannot be obtained and wasting time in vain imaginings. Today I  come to You. I will step back and merely follow You. Be You the Guide
W2:235.1  Will for me is only happiness to find that only happiness has  come to me. And I need but remember that His Love surrounds His Son
W2:237.2  and His the ears which listen to the Voice of God today. Father, I  come to You through Him Who is Your Son and my true Self as well.
W2:241.1  instant to the darkened world where its release is set. The day has  come when sorrows pass away and pain is gone. The glory of salvation
W2:241.2 We have forgiven one another now, and so we  come at last to You again. Father, Your Son, who never left, returns
W2:242.2 And so we give today to You. We  come with wholly open minds. We do not ask for anything that we may
W2:244.2 And there we are in truth. No storms can  come into the hallowed haven of our home. In God are we secure. For
W2:244.2  the hallowed haven of our home. In God are we secure. For what can  come to threaten God Himself or make afraid what will forever be a
W2:245.1  peace with me. For I would save Your Son as is Your Will, that I may  come to recognize my Self.
W2:245.2  all the world we give the message that we have received. And thus we  come to hear the Voice of God, Who speaks to us as we relate His
W2:246.2 I will accept the way You choose for me to  come to You, my Father. For in that will I succeed because it is Your
W2:247.1  shows me as the simple truth and I am healed completely. Brother,  come and let me look on you. Your loveliness reflects my own. Your
W2:WIS.5  these sharp-edged children's toys? How soon will you be ready to  come home? Perhaps today? There is no sin. Creation is unchanged.
W2:253.1 It is impossible that anything should  come to me unbidden by myself. Even in this world, it is I who rule
W2:254.1  today I would but hear Your Voice. In deepest silence, I would  come to You to hear Your Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no
W2:254.1  Your Voice and to receive Your Word. I have no prayer but this: I  come to You to ask You for the truth. And truth is but Your Will,
W2:256.2 And so, our Father, would we  come to You in Your appointed way. We have no goal except to hear
W2:261.2 Let me not seek for idols. I would  come, my Father, home to You today. I choose to be as You created me
W2:262.2  are one would recognize this day the truth about ourselves. We would  come home and rest in unity. For there is peace, and nowhere else can
W2:264.1  all things within Itself. Father, Your Son is like Yourself. We  come to You in Your own Name today, to be at peace within Your
W2:270.2 The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and through them peace will  come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His sight, we
W2:WIC.4  reaches from the Christ in you to all your dreams and bids them  come to Him to be translated into truth. He will exchange them for
W2:WIC.4  of dreams. For when forgiveness rests upon the world and peace has  come to every Son of God, what could remain to keep things separate,
W2:271.1  In Christ's sight, the world and God's creation meet, and as they  come together, all perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems
W2:276.1  of who we are, of who our Father is, and for what purpose we have  come. And yet we need but to acknowledge Him Who gave His Word to us
W2:WIHS.4  your Father's Love will not return to signify the end of dreams has  come.
W2:285.1 Today I wake with joy, expecting but the happy things of God to  come to me. I ask but them to come and realize my invitation will be
W2:285.1  but the happy things of God to come to me. I ask but them to  come and realize my invitation will be answered by the thoughts to
W2:286.1  place! This is the day that has been chosen as the time in which I  come to understand the lesson that there is no need that I do
W2:288.1  thought that leads the way to You and brings me to my goal. I cannot  come to You without my brother. And to know my Source, I first must
W2:290.1  that begin to open see at last. And I would have Christ's vision  come to me this very day. What I perceive without God's own
W2:290.2 With this resolve, I  come to You and ask Your strength to hold me up today while I but
W2:296.2  easy reach and quick accomplishment. How gladly does the Holy Spirit  come to rescue us from hell when we allow His teaching to persuade
W2:298.2 Father, I  come to You today, because I would not follow any way but Yours. You
W2:300.1  be used to say that death and sorrow are the certain lot of all who  come here. For their joys are gone before they are possessed, or even
W2:WISC.4  itself cannot affect. For everyone who ever came to die or yet will  come or who is present now is equally released from what he made. In
W2:302.1  changes darkness into light, for fear must disappear when love has  come. Let me forgive Your holy world today that I may look upon its
W2:302.2  fails in nothing. He the end we seek, and He the means by which we  come to Him.
W2:303.2 Your Son is welcome, Father. He has  come to save me from the evil self I made. He is the Self that You
W2:305.1  carries it to truth, no more to be the home of fear. For Love has  come and healed the world by giving it Christ's peace.
W2:305.2  Help us today but to accept Your gift and judge it not. For it has  come to us to save us from our judgment on ourselves.
W2:306.2  remembering Your holy gifts to us. In gratitude and thankfulness, we  come, with empty hands and open hearts and minds, asking but what You
W2:307.2  this prayer, we enter silently into a state where conflict cannot  come because we join our holy will with God's in recognition that
W2:308.1  I can be saved from time is now. For in this instant has forgiveness  come to set me free. The birth of Christ is now, without a past or
W2:308.1  free. The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future. He has  come to give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to
W2:310.1  You, Your gracious calling to Your holy Son, the sign Your grace has  come to me and that it is Your will that I be free today.
W2:312.1  have chosen to behold. How surely, therefore, must the real world  come to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes the Holy Spirit's
W2:313.1  fear has gone and where it was is love invited in. And love will  come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of
W2:313.1  sees no sin in anything He looks upon. Now let His true perception  come to me that I may waken from the dream of guilt and look within
W2:313.2  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 joined.
W2:315.1 Each day a thousand treasures  come to me with every passing moment. I am blessed with gifts
W2:315.2 I thank You, Father, for the many gifts that  come to me today and every day from every Son of God. My brothers are
W2:316.1  open doors that not one gift is lost and only more are added. Let me  come to where my treasures are and enter in where I am truly welcome
W2:319.1  opposes truth. But where there is no arrogance, the truth will  come immediately and fill up the space the ego left unoccupied by
W2:323.1  of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt and freely let Your Love  come streaming in to his awareness, healing him of pain and giving
W2:327.1  from my experience that this is true, and faith in Him must surely  come to me. This is the faith that will endure and take me farther
W2:327.1  me still, awaiting but my call to give me all the help I need to  come to Him.
W2:338.1 It needs but this to let salvation  come to all the world. For in this single thought is everyone
W2:WIM.3  stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to curse has  come to bless. Each lily of forgiveness offers all the world the
W2:342.2 Brother, forgive me now. I  come to you to take you home with me. And as we go, the world goes
W2:345.2 Peace to all seeking hearts today. The light has  come to offer miracles to bless the tired world. It will find rest
W2:347.1  it is Your own. And He will speak for me, and call Your miracle to  come to me.
W2:352.1 Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone and judges not. Through this I  come to You. Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet love,
W2:353.1  mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose. Thus has learning  come almost to its appointed end. A while I work with Him to serve

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

Tx:14.23 The Holy Spirit's function is entirely  communication. He therefore must remove whatever interferes with it
Tx:14.34  place where God, united with His Son, speaks to His Son through Him.  Communication between what cannot be divided cannot cease. The holy
Tx:14.34  His Son lies in the Holy Spirit and in you. All interference in the  communication that God Himself wills with His Son is quite impossible
Tx:15.40  The holy instant is a time in which you receive and give perfect  communication. This means, however, that it is a time in which your
Tx:15.40  to receive and give. It is the recognition that all minds are in  communication. It therefore seeks to change nothing, but merely to
Tx:15.41  and keep them? The only way you could do that is to deny the perfect  communication that makes the holy instant what it is. You believe
Tx:15.41  would share. And then you wonder why it is that you are not in full  communication with those around you and with God Who surrounds all of
Tx:15.42 Every thought you would keep hidden shuts  communication off because you would have it so. It is impossible to
Tx:15.42  because you would have it so. It is impossible to recognize perfect  communication while breaking communication holds value to you. Ask
Tx:15.42  It is impossible to recognize perfect communication while breaking  communication holds value to you. Ask yourselves honestly, “Would I
Tx:15.42  value to you. Ask yourselves honestly, “Would I want to have perfect  communication, and am I wholly willing to let everything that
Tx:15.43  were no need for Atonement. You will not be able to accept perfect  communication as long as you would hide it from yourself. For what
Tx:15.63  you were not only an idea and nothing else, you could not be in full  communication with all that ever was. Yet as long as you prefer to be
Tx:15.63  to be nothing else and something else together, the language of  communication, which you know perfectly, you will not remember.
Tx:15.64 In the holy instant God is remembered, and the language of  communication with all your brothers is remembered with Him. For

Tx:15.75 Yet remember this—to be with a body is not  communication. And if you think it is, you will feel guilty about
Tx:15.75  communication. And if you think it is, you will feel guilty about  communication and will be afraid to hear the Holy Spirit, recognizing
Tx:15.76  held there by guilt. And you will see safety in guilt and danger in  communication. For the ego will always teach that loneliness is
Tx:15.76  ego will always teach that loneliness is solved by guilt and that  communication is the cause of loneliness. And despite the evident
Tx:15.77 Forgiveness lies in  communication as surely as damnation lies in guilt. It is the Holy
Tx:15.77  Holy Spirit's teaching function to instruct those who believe that  communication is damnation that communication is salvation. And He
Tx:15.77  to instruct those who believe that communication is damnation that  communication is salvation. And He will do so, for the power of God
Tx:15.77  impossible. In the holy instant, guilt holds no attraction, since  communication has been restored. And guilt, whose only purpose is to
Tx:15.77  has been restored. And guilt, whose only purpose is to disrupt  communication, has no function here.
Tx:15.78  and no private thoughts. The willingness to communicate attracts  communication to it and overcomes loneliness completely. There is
Tx:15.83  form it takes. And so He has kept this channel open to receive His  communication to you and yours to Him. God does not understand your
Tx:15.83  to you and yours to Him. God does not understand your problem in  communication, for He does not share it with you. It is only you who
Tx:15.86  of the separation. And both are nothing more than attempts to limit  communication and thereby to make it impossible. For communication
Tx:15.86  to limit communication and thereby to make it impossible. For  communication must be unlimited in order to have meaning, and
Tx:15.90  have attempted to separate the Father from the Son and limit their  communication. Seek not Atonement in further separation. And limit
Tx:15.91  a means for getting anything, then there will be no interference in  communication, and your thoughts will be as free as God's. As you let
Tx:15.91  the Holy Spirit teach you how to use the body only for purposes of  communication and renounce its use for separation and attack which
Tx:15.107  minds are joined without the body's interference, and where there is  communication, there is peace. The Prince of Peace was born to
Tx:15.107  Peace was born to reestablish the condition of love by teaching that  communication remains unbroken, even if the body is destroyed,
Tx:15.107  provided that you see not the body as the necessary means of  communication. And if you understand this lesson, you will realize
Tx:15.107  will realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice nothing, and  communication, which must be of the mind, cannot be sacrificed.
Tx:15.108  my brothers is that sacrifice is nowhere and love is everywhere. For  communication embraces everything, and in the peace it
Tx:15.108  it to the Father, Who gave it to me. For in the time of Christ,  communication is restored, and He joins us in the celebration of His
Tx:17.19  the Holy Spirit bring His interpretation of the body as a means of  communication into relationships whose only purpose is separation

Tx:19.73  no feeling. It transmits to you the feelings that you want. Like any  communication medium, the body receives and sends the messages that

Tx:19.83  Death, were it true, would be the final and complete disruption of  communication which is the ego's goal.

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

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

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

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

Tx:16.7  other. Foolish requests are foolish for the simple reason that they  conflict because they contain an element of specialness. Only the

Tx:17.62  from the viewpoint of the ego, for the ego believes in “solving”  conflict through fragmentation and does not perceive the situation as
Tx:17.65  are perceived, it is because the thoughts are judged to be in  conflict. But if the goal is truth, this is impossible. Some idea of
Tx:19.46  to get rid of Him Who you invited in and push Him out must produce  conflict. As you look upon the world, this little wish, uprooted and
Tx:19.84  that speaks for God. Yet the retreat to death is not the end of  conflict. Only God's Answer is its end. The obstacle of your seeming
Tx:22.45  only weakness interferes? You are the strong ones in this seeming  conflict. And you need no defense. Everything that needs defense you
Tx:23.7  memory of God comes to the quiet mind. It cannot come where there is  conflict, for a mind at war against itself remembers not eternal
Tx:23.7  not love. War is impossible unless belief in victory is cherished.  Conflict within you must imply that you believe the ego has the power
Tx:23.10  the giver of your peace. Your “enemy” was God Himself, to Whom all  conflict, triumph, and attack of any kind are all unknown. He loves
Tx:23.12  other in the belief the one which conquers will be true. There is no  conflict between them and the truth. Nor are they different from each
Tx:23.13  will remember what you know when you have learned you cannot be in  conflict. One illusion about yourself can battle with another, yet
Tx:23.13  and there is no victory. And truth stands radiant, apart from  conflict, untouched and quiet in the peace of God.
Tx:23.14  Conflict must be between two forces. It cannot exist between one
Tx:23.14  of you. And by attacking it, you make two illusions of yourself in  conflict with each other. And this occurs whenever you look on
Tx:23.14  you look on anything that God created with anything but love.  Conflict is fearful, for it is the birth of fear. Yet what is born of
Tx:23.15 See how the  conflict of illusions disappears when it is brought to truth! For it
Tx:23.15  the illusion that was less real, made an illusion by defeat. Thus,  conflict is the choice between illusions, one to be crowned as real,

Tx:24.4  belief is a decision to war in secret, where the results of  conflict are kept unknown and never brought to reason to be
Tx:24.24  all intrusions of sanity upon illusions, safe from God, and safe for  conflict everlasting. Here are the gates of hell you closed upon
Tx:24.48 There must be doubt before there can be  conflict. And every doubt must be about yourself. Christ has no
Tx:24.49  on it in gentleness and blessing so complete that not one trace of  conflict still remains to haunt you in the darkness of the night. He
Tx:24.61  and there is no alternative for Him to see. Out of His lack of  conflict comes your peace. And from His purpose comes the means for
Tx:26.18  could there be complexity in Him? What is there to decide? For it is  conflict that makes choice [complex]. The truth is simple—it is
Tx:26.24  is the choice between two things so clearly unalike.] There is no  conflict here. No sacrifice is possible in the relinquishment of an
Tx:26.32 God gave His Teacher to replace the one you made, not to  conflict with it. And what He would replace has been replaced. Time
Tx:27.36  are all things answered and is every problem quietly resolved. In  conflict there can be no answer and no resolution, for its purpose is
Tx:27.36  possible and to ensure no answer will be plain. A problem set in  conflict has no answer, for it is seen in different ways. And what
Tx:27.36  from one point of view is not an answer in another light. You are in  conflict. Thus it must be clear you cannot answer anything at all,
Tx:27.36  Thus it must be clear you cannot answer anything at all, for  conflict has no limited effects. Yet if God gave an answer, there
Tx:27.41  but merely asks what the response should be. But no one in a  conflict state is free to ask this question, for he does not want an
Tx:27.41  ask this question, for he does not want an honest answer where the  conflict ends. Only within the holy instant can an honest question

Tx:9.34  you, but not even this would He keep from you. Therefore you can  create as He did, and your dissociation will not alter this. Neither
Tx:9.34  nor yours is dimmed because you do not see. Because the Sonship must  create as one, you remember creation whenever you recognize part of
Tx:9.61  Himself. He created you for Himself, but He gave you the power to  create for your self so you could be like Him. That is why your will

Tx:9.82  by making him, you made yourself able to hear him. Yet you did not  create him, because he is not the Will of the Father. He is therefore
Tx:9.92  unseen. Perceiving the spark will heal, but knowing the light will  create. Yet in the returning, the little light must be acknowledged

Tx:9.97  created a Son who was unlike Him. If creation is sharing, it cannot  create what is unlike itself. It can share only what it is.
Tx:9.105 Do not perceive anything God did not  create, or you are denying Him. His is the only Fatherhood, and it is
Tx:10.8  the Eternal, Who placed no limits on His creation nor upon those who  create like Him. You do not know this simply because you have tried
Tx:10.11  as He gives. Your fatherhood and your Father are one. God willed to  create, and your will is His. It follows, then, that you will to
Tx:10.11  to create, and your will is His. It follows, then, that you will to  create since your will follows from His. And being an extension of
Tx:10.25  beauty that you will know it is not of you. Out of your joy you will  create beauty in His name, for your joy could no more be contained
Tx:10.71  which is true. To establish your personal autonomy, you tried to  create unlike your Father, believing what you made to be capable of
Tx:13.9  to the Fatherhood of God, and He has given you the power to  create the witnesses to [yours, which is as His. Deny a brother here,
Tx:13.52  deny it. Undoing is indirect, as doing is. You were created only to  create, neither to see nor do. These are but indirect expressions of
Tx:14.37  with which the Father joins Himself to those He gives the power to  create like Him can never be dissolved. Heaven itself is union with
Tx:17.26  to enable you to hurt yourselves through them. They were created to  create with you. This is the truth that I would interpose between you
Tx:17.28 In this world it is impossible to  create, yet it is possible to make happy. We have said repeatedly
Tx:18.34  but the determination to be as you would make yourself? God did not  create His dwelling-place unworthy of Him. And if you believe He
Tx:18.57  is. Yet this could only be if God were wrong. God would have had to  create differently and to have separated Himself from His Son to make

Tx:21.26  you made the world you see as that you recognize that you did not  create yourself. They are the same mistake. Nothing created not by

Tx:23.48  Son of Life. How can a body be extended to hold the universe? Can it  create and be what it creates? And can it offer its creations all
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 own. It is not sinful to
Tx:24.40  lack faith that it is so. Wishing makes real, as surely as does will  create. The power of a wish upholds illusions as strongly as does
Tx:25.53  insane. This world is meaningless because it rests on sin. Who could  create the changeless if it does not rest on truth?
Tx:28.16  by its effects; the Father is a father by His Son. Effects do not  create their cause, but they establish its causation. Thus, the Son

Tx:5.55  you, because to forsake you would be to forsake myself and God who  created me. You will forsake yourselves and God if you forsake any of
Tx:5.63  it to enter makes it your reality. This is because the mind, as God  created it, is capable of creating reality. We said before that you
Tx:5.67  The ego and the Holy Spirit are the only choices open to you. God  created one, and so you cannot eradicate it. You made the other, and
Tx:5.68  disorder. God Himself orders your thought because your thought was  created by Him. Guilt feelings are always a sign that you do not know
Tx:5.90  His care and use the infinite power of His care for all those He  created by it.
Tx:5.91  of difficulty in miracles. He has not learned that every mind God  created is equally worthy of being healed because God created it
Tx:5.91  every mind God created is equally worthy of being healed because God  created it whole. You are merely asked to return to God the mind as
Tx:5.91  it whole. You are merely asked to return to God the mind as He  created it. He asks you only for what He gave, knowing that this
Tx:5.94  because you have reacted with a lack of love to some Soul which God  created. Perceiving this as “sin,” you become defensive because you
Tx:6.24  power of the Sons of God is operating all the time because they were  created as creators. Their influence on each other is without limit
Tx:6.30  not there? You cannot be anywhere that God did not put you, and God  created you as part of Him. That is both where you are and what you
Tx:6.31  end where it began. Everything meets in God, because everything was  created by Him and in Him.
Tx:6.32 God  created His Sons by extending His Thought and retaining the
Tx:6.32  united within themselves and with each other, because they were  created neither partially nor in part. The Holy Spirit enables you to
Tx:6.32  of inclusion, directed by the Holy Spirit under the laws of God. God  created you to create. You cannot extend His Kingdom until you know
Tx:6.46 When God  created you, He made you part of Him. That is why attack within the
Tx:6.50  You are a Child of God, a priceless part of His Kingdom, which He  created as part of Him. Nothing else exists, and only this is real.
Tx:6.51 Yet the Kingdom and all that you have  created there will have great reality for you, because they are
Tx:6.53  or you cannot use them. This is not true of anything that God  created, but it is the kindest solution possible to what you have
Tx:6.55  not exist. Fidelity to premises is a law of mind, and everything God  created is faithful to His laws. Fidelity to other laws is also
Tx:6.55  have sinned? If He confronted the self you made with the truth He  created for you, what could you be but afraid? You would doubt your
Tx:6.56  not there. God is not conflicted. Teaching aims at change, but God  created only the changeless. The separation was not a loss of
Tx:6.76  which voice is true, but the Holy Spirit teaches you that truth was  created by God, and your decision cannot change it. As you begin to
Tx:6.80  wholly is to create, and creating cannot be difficult if God Himself  created you as a creator. The second step, then, is still perceptual,
Tx:6.89  only what God put there, you are acknowledging your mind as God  created it. Therefore, you are accepting it as it is. Since it is
Tx:6.92  transfers to the whole Sonship, which is immeasurable because it was  created by the Immeasurable, the learning itself must be incomplete.
Tx:7.1  Yet in creation you are not in reciprocal relation to God, since He  created you, but you did not create Him. We have already said that
Tx:7.2 If you  created God and He created you, the Kingdom could not increase
Tx:7.2 If you created God and He  created you, the Kingdom could not increase through its own creative
Tx:7.2  God's accomplishments are not yours. But yours are like His. He  created the Sonship, and you increase it. You have the power to add
Tx:7.3  you can create only as God creates. Eternity is yours, because He  created you eternal.
Tx:7.5  I was. What you believe you are determines your gifts, and if God  created you by extending Himself as you, you can only extend yourself
Tx:7.7  His creations are changeless. He does nothing last, because He  created first and for always. It must be understood that the word
Tx:7.7  in the Holy Trinity itself. He is the Prime Creator, because He  created His co-creators. Because He did, time applies neither to Him
Tx:7.7  Because He did, time applies neither to Him nor to what He  created. The “last step” that God [was said to] take was therefore
Tx:7.8  changeless. It does not change by increase, because it was forever  created to increase. If you perceive it as not increasing, you do not
Tx:7.8  increasing, you do not know what it is. You also do not know what  created it or Who He is. God does not reveal this to you, because it
Tx:7.14  law is not adapted at all, being the law of creation. God Himself  created the law by creating by it. And His Sons, who create like Him,
Tx:7.25  the light. You did not make this power, any more than I did. It was  created to be shared and therefore cannot be meaningfully perceived
Tx:7.46  with Him. You cannot separate your self from your Creator, Who  created you by sharing His being with you.
Tx:7.47  his mind he has changed the most powerful device that was ever  created for change.
Tx:7.48 This in no way contradicts the changelessness of mind as God  created it, but you think that you have changed it as long as you
Tx:7.50 That is how God Himself  created you—in understanding, in appreciation, and in love. The ego
Tx:7.50  of the increase of the Kingdom by your creations, which can only be  created as you were. The whole glory and perfect joy that is the
Tx:7.51  I cannot forget Him. To forget me is to forget yourself and Him Who  created you. Our brothers are forgetful. That is why they need your
Tx:7.51  forgetful. That is why they need your remembrance of me and Him who  created me. Through this remembrance, you can change their minds
Tx:7.67  Kingdom, you are not thinking with your Creator and creating as He  created.
Tx:7.69  can only accomplish perfectly, extending the joy in which it was  created and identifying itself with both its Creator and its
Tx:7.76 Only honor is a fitting gift for those whom God Himself  created worthy of honor and whom He honors. Give them the
Tx:7.76  in His love and protect your rest by loving. But love everything He  created of which you are a part, or you cannot learn of His peace and
Tx:7.76  know your own perfection until you have honored all those who were  created like you.
Tx:7.82  which always operates. It is the law by which you create and were  created. It is the law which unifies the Kingdom and keeps it in the
Tx:7.91  the ego, but self-fullness is of the Soul, because that is how God  created it. The Holy Spirit is the part of the mind that lies between
Tx:7.92  which includes God, and any totality must include God. Everything He  created is given all His power, because it is part of Him and shares
Tx:7.93 The Soul yearns to share its being as its Creator did.  Created by sharing, its will is to create. It does not wish to
Tx:7.95  Son of God are yours since every creation belongs to everyone, being  created for the Sonship as a whole.
Tx:7.108  well. Everything he does becomes a strain, because he was not  created for the environment that he has made. He therefore cannot
Tx:7.109  cannot make it any more than you can make yourselves. It has been  created for you, as you were created for it. God watches over His
Tx:7.109  you can make yourselves. It has been created for you, as you were  created for it. God watches over His Children and denies them
Tx:7.111  since truth is the environment by which and for which you were  created.
Tx:7.112  not know your creations, because you do not know your brothers, who  created them with you. We said before that only the whole Sonship is
Tx:7.112  his creative power, and you are denying yours and that of God, Who  created you. You cannot deny part of truth. You do not know your
Tx:7.113  His Being with you, you can know Him. But you must also know all He  created to know what they have shared. Without your Father, you will
Tx:8.13  Deny yourself this and you are denying God His Kingdom because He  created you for this. When we said, “All power and glory are yours
Tx:8.14  its extension is unlimited, and it encompasses all things because it  created all things. By creating all things, it made them part of
Tx:8.14  of itself. You are the Will of God, because this is how you were  created. Because your Creator creates only like Himself, you are like
Tx:8.16  your minds. There is no limit on His Will to teach, because He was  created [by unlimited Will in order] to teach. Knowing His function
Tx:8.18  their joint will. This is perfect creation by the perfectly  created in union with Perfect Creator. The Father must give
Tx:8.32 Nothing God  created can oppose your will, as nothing God created can oppose His.
Tx:8.32 Nothing God created can oppose your will, as nothing God  created can oppose His. God gave your will its power, which I can
Tx:8.33  is in Him. Join then with me in praise of Him and you whom He  created. This is our gift of gratitude to Him, which He will share
Tx:8.43  Yet God did not will the destruction of His creations, having  created them for eternity. His Will has saved you, not from
Tx:8.43  whom the world denies, for over His Kingdom, it has no power. No one  created by God can find joy in anything except the eternal. That is
Tx:8.45  as He wants His. Your creations are your gift to the Holy Trinity,  created in gratitude for your creation. They do not leave you, any
Tx:8.45  And what is real except the creations of God and those which are  created like His? Your creations love you as your Soul loves your
Tx:8.47  unless he knows who he is. Creation is the Will of God. His Will  created you to create. Your will was not created separate from His,
Tx:8.47  the Will of God. His Will created you to create. Your will was not  created separate from His, and so it wills as He wills.
Tx:8.49  us be alone, because He does not will to be alone. That is why He  created His Son and gave him the power to create with Him.
Tx:8.85  is impossible since it would mean to make nothing out of what God  created. The ego despises weakness, even though it makes every effort
Tx:8.98  want, you are asking for what cannot be given, because it was never  created. It was never created, because it was never your will for you.
Tx:8.98  for what cannot be given, because it was never created. It was never  created, because it was never your will for you.
Tx:8.102  cannot change laws you did not make, and the laws of happiness were  created for you, not by you.
Tx:8.103  How real can this devotion be? If you do not want it, it was never  created. If it was never created, it is nothing. Can you really
Tx:8.103  be? If you do not want it, it was never created. If it was never  created, it is nothing. Can you really devote yourself to nothing?
Tx:8.104 God in His devotion to you  created you devoted to everything and gave you what you are devoted
Tx:8.104  gave you what you are devoted to. Otherwise, you would not have been  created perfect. Reality is everything, and therefore you have
Tx:8.104  because the absence of reality is fearful, and fear cannot be  created. As long as you believe that fear is possible, you will not
Tx:8.112  It must be for your brother because it is for you. Would God have  created a Voice for you alone? Could you hear His answer except as He
Tx:9.7  know of arrogance. The Holy Spirit forgives everything, because God  created everything.
Tx:9.11  the ability to share, He translates what you have made into what God  created. If you would accomplish this through Him, you cannot look on
Tx:9.17  This is the Second Coming, which was made for you as the First was  created. The Second Coming is merely the return of sense. Can this
Tx:9.33  part of you, everything we do belongs to you as well. Every Soul God  created is part of you and shares His glory with you. His Glory
Tx:9.34 God is more than you only because He  created you, but not even this would He keep from you. Therefore you
Tx:9.35  value. They will become the witnesses to your reality, as you were  created witnesses to God's. Yet when the Sonship comes together and
Tx:9.37  nothing else, for in him you will find your creations, because he  created them with you. You will never know that you are co-creator
Tx:9.52  it because it is a form of attack, but your grandeur is of God, Who  created it out of His Love. From your grandeur you can only bless,
Tx:9.55  pride, because pride is not shared. God wants you to behold what He  created, because it is His joy.
Tx:9.56  because it is used to replace your grandeur. Yet what God has  created cannot be replaced. God is incomplete without you, because
Tx:9.57  Mind and therefore not in yours alone. To accept yourself as God  created you cannot be arrogance, because it is the denial of
Tx:9.60 God  created nothing beside you, and nothing beside you exists, for you
Tx:9.60  how can the ephemeral be real if you are God's only creation, and He  created you eternal? Your holy will establishes everything that
Tx:9.61  He knows can be known because He does not know only for Himself. He  created you for Himself, but He gave you the power to create for your
Tx:9.64  them as long as your minds are split, and to attack what you have  created is impossible. But remember that it is as impossible for God.
Tx:9.64  as yourself because they are part of you. Everything that was  created is therefore perfectly safe, because the laws of God protect
Tx:9.77  a Son of God is sick is to worship the same idol he does. God  created love, not idolatry. All forms of idolatry are caricatures of
Tx:9.79  Kingdom, but there is great appreciation for every Soul which God  created because of the calm knowledge that each one is part of Him.
Tx:9.85  be reconciled. Sickness and perfection are irreconcilable. If God  created you perfect, you are perfect. If you believe you can be sick,
Tx:9.88  and therefore chaotic. Yet God Himself has protected everything He  created by His laws. Therefore, everything that is not under them
Tx:9.89  ever operated, and nothing except His Will will ever be. You were  created through His laws and by His Will, and the manner of your
Tx:9.90  and your reality affect truth at all. Peace is yours because God  created you. And He created nothing else.
Tx:9.90  affect truth at all. Peace is yours because God created you. And He  created nothing else.
Tx:9.96  not accept the fact that, although he was a creator, he had been  created. Yet the Son is helpless without the Father, Who alone is his
Tx:9.97  creators who are unlike your Creator any more than He could have  created a Son who was unlike Him. If creation is sharing, it cannot
Tx:9.97  what it is. Depression is isolation, and so it could not have been  created.
Tx:9.99  learn of Him if you hear aright. The love of God is in everything He  created, for His Son is everywhere. Look with peace upon your
Tx:9.101 If you will accept yourself as God  created you, you will be incapable of suffering. Yet to do this, you
Tx:9.101  Father is the acknowledgment of yourself as you are. Your Father  created you wholly without sin, wholly without pain, and wholly
Tx:9.103  removed himself from His gift by refusing to accept what had been  created for him and what he himself had created in the Name of his
Tx:9.103  to accept what had been created for him and what he himself had  created in the Name of his Father. Heaven waits for his return, for
Tx:9.103  in the Name of his Father. Heaven waits for his return, for it was  created as the dwelling place of God's Son. You are not at home
Tx:9.103  or in any other condition. Do not deny yourself the joy which was  created for you for the misery you have made for yourselves. God has
Tx:9.104  blasphemy may take are refusals to accept creation as it is. If God  created His Son perfect, that is how you must learn to see him to
Tx:10.3 You have made by projection, but God has  created by extension. The cornerstone of God's creation is you, for
Tx:10.8  simply by recognizing that neither beginnings nor endings were  created by the Eternal, Who placed no limits on His creation nor upon
Tx:10.8  You do not know this simply because you have tried to limit what He  created, and so you believe that all creation is limited. How, then,
Tx:10.9  and He is not childless. Because He did not will to be alone, He  created a Son like Himself. Do not deny Him His Son, for your
Tx:10.9  has denied you yours. See His creations as His Son, for yours were  created in honor of Him. The universe of love does not stop because
Tx:10.13  time you cannot live apart from Him, for sleep is not death. What He  created can sleep, but it cannot die. Immortality is His Will for His
Tx:10.26  for they are not fit companions for the Son of God, who was  created of light and in light. The Great Light always surrounds you
Tx:10.31  all your understanding is lost because you are looking on what God  created as yourself without love. And since what He created is part
Tx:10.31  on what God created as yourself without love. And since what He  created is part of Him, you are denying Him His place in His own
Tx:10.33  to you. Every altar to God is part of your Soul because the light He  created is one with Him. Would you cut off a brother from the light
Tx:10.57  truth. The witnesses for God stand in His light and behold what He  created. Their silence is the sign that they have beheld God's Son,
Tx:10.62  and ever shall be, for such is the nature of God's Son as His Father  created him.
Tx:10.63  the altar of his god, whether it be the god he made or the God who  created him. That is why his slavery is as complete as his freedom,
Tx:10.69 The world as you perceive it cannot have been  created by the Father, for the world is not as you see it. God
Tx:10.69  been created by the Father, for the world is not as you see it. God  created only the eternal, and everything you see is perishable.
Tx:10.72  do not know the difference between what you have made and what God  created, and so you do not know the difference between what you have
Tx:10.72  not know the difference between what you have made and what you have  created.
Tx:10.82  it can only free you. Nothing of God will enslave His Son, whom He  created free and whose freedom is protected by His Being.
Tx:10.84  thought is as loving as the Thought of His Father by which He was  created. Be not deceived in God's Son, for thereby you must be
Tx:11.22  Redeemer liveth and abideth in you in the peace out of which He was  created. Would you not exchange this awareness for the awareness of
Tx:11.71  me and all your brothers in the perfect safety of the mind which  created us. For we are there in the peace of the Father, Who wills to
Tx:11.72  see me as you look within, and we will look upon the world as God  created it together. Through the eyes of Christ, only the real world
Tx:11.78  not change, but you did. For a split mind and all its works were not  created by the Father and could not live in the knowledge of Him.
Tx:11.79  Holy Spirit sees. The definition of reality is God's, not yours. He  created it, and He knows what it is. You who knew have forgotten, and
Tx:11.93  untouched forever in God's Mind. God's Son will always be as he was  created. Deny your world and judge him not, for his eternal
Tx:11.94  of his Being, which is his perfect blamelessness. Out of love he was  created, and in love he abides. Goodness and mercy have always
Tx:12.47  and in His changelessness lies your release. For if He is as He was  created, there is no guilt in Him. No cloud of guilt has risen to
Tx:12.66  of God unto His Son. Your one reality was given you, and by it God  created you as one with Him.
Tx:13.6  of God. The only miracle that ever was is God's most holy Son,  created in the One Reality that is his Father. Christ's vision is His
Tx:13.9  the witnesses to] your fatherhood in Heaven. The miracle which God  created is perfect, as are the miracles which you created in His
Tx:13.9  miracle which God created is perfect, as are the miracles which you  created in His name. They need no healing, nor do you when you know
Tx:13.28  In shining peace within you is the perfect purity in which you were  created. Fear not to look upon the lovely truth in you. Look through
Tx:13.32  You, Father, for the purity of Your most holy Son, whom You have  created guiltless forever.
Tx:13.33  even unto the worth that God has placed upon you. I love all that He  created, and all my faith and my belief I offer unto it. My faith in
Tx:13.34  of praise unto your Father. See only praise of Him in what He has  created, for He will never cease His praise of you. United in this
Tx:13.46  released, and you will not remember anything you made that was not  created for you and by you in return. For how can you remember what
Tx:13.52  teach you not to deny it. Undoing is indirect, as doing is. You were  created only to create, neither to see nor do. These are but indirect
Tx:13.76  shake God's conviction of the perfect purity of everything that He  created, for it is wholly pure. Do not decide against it, for being
Tx:13.79 Seek not to appraise the worth of God's Son, whom He  created holy, for to do so is to evaluate his Father and judge
Tx:13.79  He could ever let His Son drop from His loving mind wherein he was  created and where his abode was fixed in perfect peace forever.
Tx:13.87 You who belong to the First Cause,  created by Him like unto Himself and part of Him, are more than
Tx:13.90 Decide that God is right and you are wrong about yourself. He  created you out of Himself but still within Him. He knows what you
Tx:14.7 Blessed Son of a wholly blessing Father, joy was  created for you. Who can condemn whom God has blessed? There is
Tx:14.7  the teachers of the innocence that is the right of all that God  created. Deny them not what is their due, for you will not withhold
Tx:14.12  no one is excluded. Within its holy circle is everyone whom God  created as His Son. Joy is its unifying attribute, with no one left
Tx:14.13  purpose to which my teaching calls you. Restore to God His Son as He  created him by teaching him his innocence.
Tx:14.26  about themselves. They have defined themselves as they were not  created. Their creation was not a point of view, but rather a
Tx:14.36  the knowledge given you by God into unknowingness. Everything God  created knows its Creator. For this is how creation is accomplished
Tx:14.38 The Atonement does not make holy. You were  created holy. It merely brings unholiness to holiness, or what you
Tx:14.41  they abide in Life. [Life is as holy as the Holiness by Which it was  created.] The Presence of Holiness lives in everything that lives,
Tx:14.41  Presence of Holiness lives in everything that lives, for Holiness  created life and leaves not what It created holy as Itself.
Tx:14.41  that lives, for Holiness created life and leaves not what It  created holy as Itself.
Tx:14.71  Teach like Him here, and you will remember that you have always  created like your Father. The miracle of creation has never ceased,
Tx:15.16  is so far beyond time that all of it happens at once. For as it was  created one, so its oneness depends not on time at all.
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
Tx:15.78  awareness. And here it is that you experience yourself as you were  created and as you are.
Tx:15.82  not from you, He withheld not His creation. Nothing that ever was  created but is yours. Your relationships are with the universe. And
Tx:15.84  is only of God teach you the only meaning of relationships. For God  created the only relationship which has meaning, and that is His
Tx:15.109  Those who receive the Father are one with Him, being host to Him Who  created them. And by allowing Him to enter, the remembrance of the
Tx:16.25  teaching has already done this, for the Holy Spirit is part of you.  Created by God, He left neither God nor His creation. He is both God
Tx:16.28  holy Self, all praise is due for what you are and for what He is Who  created you as you are. Sooner or later must everyone bridge the gap
Tx:16.37  look on all your brothers with gratitude because your creations were  created in union with them. Acceptance of your creations is the
Tx:16.41  the bridge to Him, made from your willingness to unite with Him and  created by His joy in union with you. The journey that seemed to be
Tx:16.59  relationships that are unlike this one must be unnatural. For God  created love as He would have it be and gave it as it is. Love has no
Tx:16.77  is His reminder that His Son will always be exactly as he was  created. And everything the Holy Spirit teaches you is to remind you
Tx:16.81  what you have given and accept but this into the minds which You  created and which You love. Amen.
Tx:17.7  Spirit loves to look upon and which He thanks the Father for. He was  created to see this for you until you learn to see it for yourself.
Tx:17.26  me bring reality to your perception of your brothers. They were not  created to enable you to hurt yourselves through them. They were
Tx:17.26  not created to enable you to hurt yourselves through them. They were  created to create with you. This is the truth that I would interpose
Tx:17.27  you relate to your creations as God to His. For nothing God  created is apart from happiness, and nothing God created but would
Tx:17.27  For nothing God created is apart from happiness, and nothing God  created but would extend happiness as its Creator did. Whatever
Tx:17.29  separation. For although the ego did not understand what had been  created, it was aware of threat.
Tx:18.11  to you. [And God Himself is glad that your relationship is as it was  created.] The universe within you stands with you, together. And
Tx:18.37  to God am worthy of Him. He Who established His dwelling-place in me  created it as He would have it be. It is not needful that I make it
Tx:18.49  realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is restored to you. For God  created only this, and He did not depart from it nor leave it
Tx:18.53  what cannot destroy can have no real effect at all. And what God  created is only what He would have it be, being His Will. You cannot
Tx:18.75  living alone and in no way joined to the Thought by which it was  created. Each tiny fragment seems to be self-contained, needing each
Tx:18.76  separate life because its life is the oneness in which its being was  created.
Tx:18.78 Love knows no bodies and reaches to everything  created like itself. Its total lack of limit is its meaning. It is
Tx:19.16  For what you think you do to the eternal you do to you. Whom God  created as His Son is slave to nothing, being lord of all along with
Tx:19.18  thus succeeded in losing his innocence and making himself what God  created not. Thus is creation seen as not eternal, and the Will of
Tx:19.20  doctrine which replaces the reality of the Son of God as his Father  created him and willed that he be forever. Is this humility? Or is
Tx:19.31  good and evil—partly sane and partially insane. For He must have  created what wills to destroy Him and has the power to do so. Is it
Tx:19.32  seem to be split apart and overthrown. For sin would prove what God  created holy could not prevail against it nor remain itself before
Tx:19.80  and set against the peace of Heaven? One thing is sure—God, Who  created neither sin nor death, wills not that you be bound by them.
Tx:19.85  powerless before the ego's might, unable to protect the life that He  created against the ego's savage wish to kill. My brothers, children
Tx:19.103  to you? For his redemption, he will give you yours as surely as God  created every living thing and loves it. And he will give it truly,
Tx:19.108  offer to the Son of God in thanks for what he is and what his Father  created him to be.
Tx:20.27  Each of you now will lead the other to the Father as surely as God  created His Son holy and kept him so. In your brother is the light of
Tx:20.29  have established other laws and given them power to enforce what God  created not.
Tx:20.45  self-centered, broken into fragments, and full of fear. The one  created by his Father is wholly self-encompassing and self-extending.
Tx:21.17  No accident nor chance is possible within the universe as God  created it, outside of which is nothing. Suffer, and you decided sin
Tx:21.26  that you did not create yourself. They are the same mistake. Nothing  created not by your Creator has any influence over you. And if you
Tx:21.28 Yet the truth is you were both  created by a loving Father Who created you together and as one. See
Tx:21.28 Yet the truth is you were both created by a loving Father Who  created you together and as one. See what “proves” otherwise, and you

Tx:29.56  what it is. It does not need belief to be itself, for it has been  created, so it is. An idol is established by belief, and when it is
Tx:29.61  it is not a dream. A dream of judgment came into the mind that God  created perfect as Himself. And in that dream was Heaven changed to
Tx:30.33  alone. And Heaven itself but represents your will, where everything  created is for you. No spark of life but was created with your glad
Tx:30.33  will, where everything created is for you. No spark of life but was  created with your glad consent, as you would have it be. And not one
Tx:30.35  joined with God Himself in all creation's birth. Remember He Who has  created you and through your will created everything. Not one created
Tx:30.35  birth. Remember He Who has created you and through your will  created everything. Not one created thing but gives you thanks, for

W1:67.7  even more, it would be most beneficial to remind yourself that Love  created you like Itself. Hear the truth about yourself in this.
W1:67.8  about yourself with the simple truth about the Son of God. You were  created by Love like Itself.
W1:68.1 You who were  created by Love like Itself can hold no grievances and know your
W1:68.3  grievances? Oh, yes! For he who holds grievances denies he was  created by Love, and his Creator has become fearful to him in his
W1:68.4  will redefine God in their own image as it is certain that God  created them like Himself and defined them as part of Him. It is as
W1:72.15  that you are asking them of the infinite Creator of infinity, Who  created you like Himself:
W1:73.3  grievances increase with each exchange. Can such a world have been  created by the will the Son of God shares with his Father? Did God

W1:93.4  your “sins” are nothing, that you are as pure and holy as you were  created, and that light and joy and peace abide in you? Your image of
W1:93.6  is guaranteed by God. Nothing can touch it nor can change what God  created as eternal. The self you made, evil and full of sin, is
W1:93.7 Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought—you are as God  created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may
W1:93.7  of yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God  created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is
W1:93.7  guaranteed by God. You are and will forever be exactly as you were  created. Light and joy and peace abide in you because God put them
W1:93.11 You are what God  created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there.
W1:93.11  Self. Try to appreciate its holiness and the love from which it was  created. Try not to interfere with the Self which God created as you
W1:93.11  which it was created. Try not to interfere with the Self which God  created as you by hiding its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil
W1:94.1  which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. You are as God  created you. The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this
W1:94.2  light is strength, and strength is sinlessness. If you remain as God  created you, you must be strong and light must be in you. He Who
W1:94.2  must be the guarantee of strength and light as well. You are as God  created you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory of the Son of God. You
W1:94.2  God. You stand in light, strong in the sinlessness in which you were  created and in which you will remain throughout eternity.
W1:94.4 I am as God  created me. I am His Son eternally.
W1:94.8 I am as God  created me. I am His Son eternally.
W1:94.9 Tell yourself frequently today that you are as God  created you. And be sure to respond to anyone who seems to irritate
W1:94.10 You are as God  created you. You are His Son eternally.
W1:95.1 Today's idea accurately describes you as God  created you. You are one within yourself and one with Him. Yours is

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

W2:I.7  with You in asking this. The Father and the Son, Whose holy will  created all that is, can fail in nothing. In this certainty, we
W2:I.9 We had a wish that God would fail to have the Son whom He  created for Himself. We wanted God to change Himself and be what we
W2:229.1 I seek my own Identity and find it in these words: “Love, Which  created me, is what I am.” Now need I seek no more. Love has
W2:230.1 In peace I was  created. And in peace do I remain. It is not given me to change my
W2:230.1  me to change my Self. How merciful is God my Father, that when He  created me He gave me peace forever. Now I ask but to be what I am.
W2:230.2  Son was born into Your Mind is shining there unchanged. I am as You  created me. I need but call on You to find the peace You gave. It is
W2:235.2 Father, Your holiness is mine. Your Love  created me and made my sinlessness forever part of You. I have no
W2:238.1 Father, Your trust in me has been so great I must be worthy. You  created me and know me as I am. And yet You placed Your Son's
W2:238.2  pause to think how much our Father loves us. And how dear His Son,  created by His Love, remains to Him Whose Love is made complete in
W2:239.1  His Son forever and with perfect constancy, knowing he is as He  created him?
W2:243.1  Thus do I free myself and what I look upon, to be in peace as God  created us.
W2:247.2  I look on everyone today. My brothers are Your Sons. Your Fatherhood  created them and gave them all to me as part of You and my own Self
W2:248.1  about the holy Son of God. Now am I ready to accept him back as God  created him, and as he is.
W2:248.2  returns and lets me love Your Son again as well. Father, I am as You  created me. Now is Your Love remembered and my own. Now do I
W2:249.2  of violence and death. Now would we rest again in You, as You  created us.
W2:253.1  Will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides with them and Him Who has  created me.

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

Tx:1.89  that he needs it. While the concept of lack does not exist in the  creation of God, it is very apparent in the creations of man. It is,

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

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

Tx:7.2  the Kingdom could not increase through its own creative thought.  Creation would therefore be limited, and you would not be co-creators
Tx:7.5  Kingdom forever and beyond limit. Eternity is the indelible stamp of  creation. The eternal are in peace and joy forever.
Tx:7.10  the Kingdom and restores its wholeness in your minds. This parallels  creation, because it unifies by increasing and integrates by
Tx:7.14  are. That form of the law is not adapted at all, being the law of  creation. God Himself created the law by creating by it. And His
Tx:7.14  that the increase of the Kingdom depends on it, just as their own  creation did.
Tx:7.16  is always the same, and only the meaning matters. God's law of  Creation in perfect form does not involve the use of truth to
Tx:7.34  inspires can have no order of difficulty, because every part of  creation is of one order. This is God's Will and yours. The laws of
Tx:7.53  can appreciate the Sonship only as one. This is part of the Law of  Creation and therefore governs all thought.
Tx:7.65  you and will therefore obscure God to you. Unless you perceive His  creation truly, you cannot know the Creator, since God and His
Tx:7.65  His creation truly, you cannot know the Creator, since God and His  creation are not separate. The Oneness of the Creator and the
Tx:7.65  His creation are not separate. The Oneness of the Creator and the  creation is your wholeness, your sanity, and your limitless power.
Tx:7.66 Perceived without your part in it, God's  creation is perceived as weak, and those who see themselves as
Tx:7.69  Creation, not separation, is your will because it is God's, and
Tx:7.81  all of it. This correction enables you to perceive any part of  creation as wholly real, wholly perfect, and wholly desirable.
Tx:7.95  the non-extension of truth, which blocks joy because it blocks  creation and thus blocks self-fulfillment. The unfulfilled must be
Tx:7.95  them. The creations of every Son of God are yours since every  creation belongs to everyone, being created for the Sonship as a
Tx:7.113  like the Father. Know then the Sons of God, and you will know all  creation.
Tx:8.18  their unity together by extending their joint will. This is perfect  creation by the perfectly created in union with Perfect Creator. The
Tx:8.34  being an acknowledgment of what they are and what He is. Freedom is  creation, because it is love. What you seek to imprison you do not
Tx:8.37  the recognition of yourself. There is no separation of God and His  creation. You will learn this as you learn that there is no
Tx:8.45  are your gift to the Holy Trinity, created in gratitude for your  creation. They do not leave you, any more than you have left your
Tx:8.45  you, any more than you have left your Creator, but they extend your  creation as God extended Himself to you. Can the creations of God
Tx:8.45  creations love you as your Soul loves your Father for the gift of  creation. There is no other gift which is eternal, and therefore
Tx:8.47  yours. His Will to you is His Will for you. He would not withhold  creation from you, because His joy is in it. You cannot find joy
Tx:8.47  it, and no one can know his function unless he knows who he is.  Creation is the Will of God. His Will created you to create. Your
Tx:8.68  arrest your thought in this world, and you will open your mind to  creation in God.
Tx:8.94  in alien tongues. You and your Creator can communicate through  creation because that, and only that, is your joint will.
Tx:8.101 The energy which you withdraw from  creation you expend on fear. This is not because your energy is
Tx:8.101  in order to be happy is totally at variance with the principle of  creation. God could not will that happiness depended on what you
Tx:9.34  you do not see. Because the Sonship must create as one, you remember  creation whenever you recognize part of creation. Each part you
Tx:9.34  create as one, you remember creation whenever you recognize part of  creation. Each part you remember adds to your wholeness, because each
Tx:9.60  ephemeral, and how can the ephemeral be real if you are God's only  creation, and He created you eternal? Your holy will establishes
Tx:9.64  But remember that it is as impossible for God. The law of  creation is that you love your creations as yourself because they are
Tx:9.69  lack of fear. In this decision lie joy and peace and the glory of  creation. Offer the Holy Spirit only your will to remember, for He
Tx:9.77  created love, not idolatry. All forms of idolatry are caricatures of  creation, taught by sick minds which are too divided to know that
Tx:9.77  of creation, taught by sick minds which are too divided to know that  creation shares power and never usurps it. Sickness is idolatry,
Tx:9.88  them does not exist. “Laws of chaos” are meaningless by definition.  Creation is perfectly lawful, and the chaotic is without meaning
Tx:9.89  created through His laws and by His Will, and the manner of your  creation established you as creators. What you have made is so
Tx:9.92  as pure as the great light, because it is the remaining call of  creation. Put all your faith in it, and God Himself will answer you.
Tx:9.97  any more than He could have created a Son who was unlike Him. If  creation is sharing, it cannot create what is unlike itself. It can
Tx:9.100  for it means that you are looking without love on God and His  creation, from which He cannot be separated. Only the eternal can be
Tx:9.102  will never cease to love Him. That was the condition of His Son's  creation, fixed forever in the Mind of God. To know that is sanity.
Tx:9.102  is sanity. To deny it is insanity. God gave Himself to you in your  creation, and His gifts are eternal. Would you deny yourself to Him?
Tx:9.104  the many other forms which blasphemy may take are refusals to accept  creation as it is. If God created His Son perfect, that is how you
Tx:10.1  by your vacillations. Nothing alive is fatherless, for life is  creation. Therefore, your decision is always an answer to the
Tx:10.3  but God has created by extension. The cornerstone of God's  creation is you, for His thought system is light. Remember the rays
Tx:10.7  cannot be filled by anyone except you, and your filling it was your  creation, without you there would be an empty place in God's Mind.
Tx:10.8  nor endings were created by the Eternal, Who placed no limits on His  creation nor upon those who create like Him. You do not know this
Tx:10.8  you have tried to limit what He created, and so you believe that all  creation is limited. How, then, could you know your creations, having
Tx:10.9  eyes have not lost the ability to see. Look upon the glory of His  creation, and you will learn what God has kept for you.
Tx:10.13  for himself because His Father is Life and His Son is like Him.  Creation is your will because it is His.
Tx:10.21  gladly extend it. And by this extending, you will begin to remember  creation.
Tx:10.31  Sonship is your salvation, for the Sonship is your Soul. As God's  creation, it is yours, and belonging to you, it is His. Your Soul
Tx:10.45 Yours is the independence of  creation, not of autonomy. Your whole creative function lies in your
Tx:11.46  eternal because you wanted to retain the characteristics of  creation with your own content. Yet creation is not of you, and poor
Tx:11.46  to retain the characteristics of creation with your own content. Yet  creation is not of you, and poor learners need special teaching. You
Tx:11.64  work, for you share in His function. As your function in Heaven is  creation, so your function on earth is healing. God shares His
Tx:12.22  denied you only your request for pain, for suffering is not of His  creation. Having given you creation, He could not take it from you.
Tx:12.22  for pain, for suffering is not of His creation. Having given you  creation, He could not take it from you. He could but answer your
Tx:12.53  for you will remember Him as you call forth the witnesses to His  creation. Those whom you heal bear witness to your healing, for in
Tx:13.3  which seems to be in the future, was accomplished by God in your  creation. The separation has not interrupted it. Creation cannot be
Tx:13.3  by God in your creation. The separation has not interrupted it.  Creation cannot be interrupted. The separation is merely a faulty
Tx:13.5 This is the miracle of  creation; that it is one forever. Every miracle you offer to the Son
Tx:13.26  but knows of union. He teaches healing, but He also knows of  creation. He would have you see and teach as He does, and through
Tx:13.44  wake. The mission of redemption will be fulfilled as surely as the  creation will remain unchanged throughout eternity. You do not have
Tx:13.89  by failing to fulfill your function here? You need not understand  creation to do what must be done before that knowledge would be
Tx:14.7  in the Mind of God that does not share His shining innocence.  Creation is the natural extension of perfect purity. Your only
Tx:14.8  of the Kingdom is the right of God's Son, given him in his  creation. Do not try to steal it from him, or you will ask for guilt
Tx:14.10  purpose of release from guilt to the eternal glory of God and His  creation. And every teaching that points to this points straight to
Tx:14.11  holy lesson, which seeks but to restore what is the right of God's  creation. From everyone whom you accord release from guilt, you will
Tx:14.20  you. The power of decision, which you made in place of the power of  creation, He would teach you how to use on your behalf. You who made
Tx:14.26  They have defined themselves as they were not created. Their  creation was not a point of view, but rather a certainty. Uncertainty
Tx:14.36  Everything God created knows its Creator. For this is how  creation is accomplished by the Creator and by His creations. In the
Tx:14.36  joins them all together, holding them in the oneness out of which  creation happens.
Tx:14.37  like Him can never be dissolved. Heaven itself is union with all of  creation and with its One Creator. And Heaven remains the Will of God
Tx:14.46  creations, or between His Children and their own, the knowledge of  creation must continue forever. The reflections which you accept into
Tx:14.71  that you have always created like your Father. The miracle of  creation has never ceased, having the holy stamp of immortality upon
Tx:14.71  holy stamp of immortality upon it. This is the Will of God for all  creation, and all creation joins in willing this.
Tx:14.71  upon it. This is the Will of God for all creation, and all  creation joins in willing this.
Tx:14.74  and He knows that faith in His Creator must encompass faith in His  creation. In this consistency lies His holiness, which He cannot
Tx:15.15  For, caught in the single instant of the eternal sanctity of God's  creation, it is transformed into forever. Give the eternal instant
Tx:15.27 When God gave Himself to you in your  creation, He established you as host to Him forever. He has not left
Tx:15.64  for you will begin to understand what your Creator is and what His  creation is along with Him.
Tx:15.82  instant on this: God gave the Sonship to you to ensure your perfect  creation. This was His gift, for as He withheld Himself not from you,
Tx:15.82  gift, for as He withheld Himself not from you, He withheld not His  creation. Nothing that ever was created but is yours. Your
Tx:15.88  Heaven and hell, God and the ego, and release your power unto  creation, which is the only purpose for which it was given you. Love
Tx:15.108  is restored, and He joins us in the celebration of His Son's  creation.
Tx:16.25  Spirit is part of you. Created by God, He left neither God nor His  creation. He is both God and you, as you are God and Him together.
Tx:16.25  the Holy Spirit, and their power and gratitude to you for their  creation they offer gladly to your teaching of yourself, who is their
Tx:16.37  Acceptance of your creations is the acceptance of the oneness of  creation, without which you could never be complete. No specialness
Tx:16.42  answer fearlessly the call of Him Who gave eternity to you in your  creation. On this side of the bridge to timelessness you understand
Tx:17.29  In a sense the special relationship was the ego's answer to the  creation of the Holy Spirit, Who was God's answer to the separation.
Tx:17.41  gently, and God rises to your remembrance, offering you the whole of  creation in exchange for your little picture, wholly without value
Tx:18.9  no substitute can keep you from each other. Your reality was God's  creation and has no substitute.
Tx:18.11  upon you, blessing your relationship with truth. God and His whole  creation have entered it together. How lovely and how holy is your
Tx:19.18  his innocence and making himself what God created not. Thus is  creation seen as not eternal, and the Will of God open to opposition
Tx:19.20  be forever. Is this humility? Or is it, rather, an attempt to wrest  creation away from truth and keep it separate?
Tx:19.22  foundation seems to have is found in this. For sin has changed  creation from an idea of God to an ideal the ego wants; a world it
Tx:19.31  is real, remember this: If sin is real, both God and you are not. If  creation is extension, the Creator must have extended Himself, and it
Tx:19.32  the proof of separation seems to be everywhere. And God and His  creation seem to be split apart and overthrown. For sin would prove
Tx:19.32  mightier than God, before which God Himself must bow and offer His  creation to its conqueror. Is this humility or madness?
Tx:19.33  will apart from His and stronger. And each part of God's fragmented  creation would have a different will, opposed to His and in eternal
Tx:19.40  it abide within the Son of God? If it would spread across the whole  creation, it must begin with you and from you reach to everyone who
Tx:19.84  Here is the final end of union, the triumph of the ego's making over  creation, the victory of lifelessness on Life Itself.
Tx:21.23  there you cannot fail to see. The holy instant is not an instant of  creation but of recognition. For recognition comes of vision and
Tx:21.27  to create, and what he makes is meaningless. It changes nothing in  creation, depends entirely upon the madness of its maker, and cannot
Tx:21.27  Your brother thinks he made the world with you. Thus he denies  creation. With you, he thinks the world he made, made him. Thus he
Tx:21.87  change of any kind. It is unshakable as is the love of God for His  creation. Sure in its vision as its Creator is in what He knows, it
Tx:22.62  Creator. For only then would it be possible to attack a part of the  creation without the whole, the Son without the Father, and to attack
Tx:22.65  joins you, so it makes you one with your Creator. And in Him is all  creation joined. Would you regret you cannot fear alone when your
Tx:23.49  but it is insanity. What is the same can have no different function.  Creation is the means for God's extension, and what is His must be
Tx:23.50  another is not complete as yet, and so it cannot be extended to all  creation. Each form of murder and attack that still attracts you and
Tx:24.2  knows. And your decisions come from your beliefs as certainly as all  creation rose in His Mind because of what He knows.
Tx:24.5  This takes many forms but always clashes with the reality of God's  creation and with the grandeur which He gave His Son. What else could
Tx:24.49  knowable and will be known to you. For He could never leave His own  creation. And the sign that this is so lies in your brother, offered
Tx:24.49  about yourself may disappear before his holiness. See in him God's  creation. For in him, his Father waits for your acknowledgment that
Tx:24.62  of earth on whom such love is lavished? What is this parody of God's  creation that takes the place of yours? And where are they, now that
Tx:24.63  shines not alone. What is within your brother still contains all of  creation, everything created and creating, born and unborn as yet,
Tx:24.67  means and end are one, and one with Him. This is the state of true  creation, found not within time, but in eternity. To no one here is
Tx:24.71  offer to the “father” what he wants. Such is the travesty on God's  creation. For as His Son's creation gave Him joy and witness to His
Tx:24.71  he wants. Such is the travesty on God's creation. For as His Son's  creation gave Him joy and witness to His love and shared His purpose,
Tx:25.20  His love if you but share His praise of what He loves? God cherishes  creation as the perfect Father that He is. And so His joy is made
Tx:25.33  creates to bring him joy, sharing his Father's purpose in his own  creation that his joy might be increased and God's along with his.
Tx:25.50  it possible what God created not should share the attributes of His  creation when it opposes it in every way?
Tx:26.18  of God. How could it be, when all He knows is one? He knows of one  creation, one reality, one truth, and but one Son. Nothing conflicts
Tx:26.27  the world and reach beyond the universe to touch the heart of all  creation? What is Heaven but a song of gratitude and love and praise
Tx:26.27  and love and praise by everything created to the Source of its  creation? The holiest of altars is set where once sin was believed to
Tx:26.34  the past—an ancient past, too short to make a world in answer to  creation—did this world appear to rise. So very long ago, for such
Tx:26.52  as real as it. Then would God's Will be split in two and all  creation be subjected to the laws of two opposing powers until God
Tx:26.56  world which death and desolation seem to rule. In joyous answer will  creation rise within you to replace the world you see with Heaven,
Tx:26.57  lost if what you have is what you are. This is the miracle by which  creation became your function, sharing it with God. It is not
Tx:26.67  but let to be itself—the Son of God allowed to be himself and all  creation freed to call upon the Name of God as one.
Tx:27.1  total. If it could occur at all, it would entail the whole of God's  creation and the Father with the sacrifice of his beloved Son.
Tx:27.32  must the truth abide. Unweakened power with no opposite is what  creation is. For this there are no symbols. Nothing points beyond the
Tx:28.2  is a skill made up by you to take the place of what God gave in your  creation. And like all the things you made, it can be used to serve
Tx:28.16  must also be a father who creates as God created him. The circle of  creation has no end. Its starting and its ending are the same. But in
Tx:28.16  its ending are the same. But in itself it holds the universe of all  creation, without beginning and without an end.
Tx:28.17 Fatherhood is  creation. Love must be extended. Purity is not confined. It is the
Tx:28.47  exist. And you exist because God shared His Will with you, that His  creation might create.
Tx:28.52  Creation proves reality because it shares the function all creation
Tx:28.52 Creation proves reality because it shares the function all  creation shares. It is not made of little bits of glass, a piece of
Tx:28.59  has made to him. God keeps His promises; His Son keeps his. In his  creation did his Father say, “You are beloved of Me and I of you
Tx:29.24  not himself alone. And as his Father lost not part of Him in your  creation, so the light in him is brighter still because you gave your
Tx:29.34 There is no gift the Father asks of you but that you see in all  creation but the shining glory of His gift to you. Behold His Son,
Tx:29.34  perfect gift in whom his Father shines forever and to whom is all  creation given as his own. Because he has it is it given you, and
Tx:30.39  form. Yet this could never be your will because what shares in all  creation cannot be content with small ideas and little things.
Tx:30.41  made but to fill a gap which is not there. It is not this you want.  Creation gives no separate person and no separate thing the power to
Tx:30.48  Son in Heaven is, for there the mind of Father and Son joined in  creation which can have no end. You have not two realities, but one.
Tx:30.60  is Heaven itself. Even the real world has a purpose still beneath  creation and eternity. But fear is gone because its purpose is
Tx:30.62  and yourself was never there. And what the Son of God knew in  creation, he must know again.
Tx:30.74  or escape. There would be one mistake which had the power to undo  creation and to make a world which could replace it and destroy the
Tx:31.8  to be part of you. The soft, eternal calling of each part of God's  creation to the whole is heard throughout the world this second
Tx:31.9  innocent could be a slave to guilt. God's perfect Son remembers his  creation. But in guilt he has forgotten what he really is.
Tx:31.75 Behold your role within the universe! To every part of true  creation has the Lord of Love and Life entrusted all salvation from
Tx:31.97  from anyone. Thy Will is done, complete and perfectly, and all  creation recognizes You and knows You as the only Source it has.
W1:44.1  you see in it, but light reflects life and is therefore an aspect of  creation. Creation and darkness cannot coexist, but light and life
W1:44.1  it, but light reflects life and is therefore an aspect of creation.  Creation and darkness cannot coexist, but light and life must go
W1:44.1  but light and life must go together, being but different aspects of  creation.

W1:53.5  from the effects of my own insane thoughts when the perfection of  creation is my home? Let me remember the power of my decision and
W1:62.2  is to find out who you are, having denied your Identity by attacking  creation and its Creator. Now you are learning how to remember the
W1:72.4  is only a body, so must He be as well. A creator wholly unlike his  creation is inconceivable.
W1:72.8  plan for salvation and holding your grievances against Him and His  creation, that you may not hear the Voice of truth and welcome it as
W1:73.1  nothingness arise. The will you share with God has all the power of  creation in it. The ego's idle wishes are unshared and therefore have
W1:73.1  your belief can be very strong. But they are idle indeed in terms of  creation. They make nothing that is real.
W1:73.3  of God shares with his Father? Did God create disaster for His Son?  Creation is the will of Both together. Would God create a world that
W1:76.11  you. About His yearning for His only Son, created as His channel for  creation, denied to Him by his belief in hell.
W1:76.12  channels to Him and let His Will extend through us to Him. Thus is  creation endlessly increased. His Voice will speak of this to us, as
W1:77.2  It is implicit in what God your Father is. It was ensured in your  creation and guaranteed by the laws of God.
W1:93.5  God. It does not hurt him nor attack his peace. It has not changed  creation nor reduced eternal sinlessness to sin and love to hate.
W1:93.7  you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged.  Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed
W1:93.8  of every waking hour, we will begin by stating the truth about our  creation:
W1:95.1  are one within yourself and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all  creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do
W1:95.1  yourself already. You see yourself as a ridiculous parody on God's  creation—weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with
W1:95.11  are One Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of  creation, and limitless in power and in peace.
W1:95.13 I am One Self, united with my Creator, at one with every aspect of  creation, and limitless in power and in peace.
W1:95.16  goal—to bring awareness of this oneness to all minds, that true  creation may extend the Allness and the Unity of God.
W1:105.5 True giving is  creation. It extends the limitless to the unlimited, eternity to
W1:113.2  are mine because I am One Self, completely whole, at one with all  creation and with God.
W1:123.2  from the self you thought you made to take the place of Him and His  creation. Give Him thanks today.
W1:131.9 God does not suffer conflict. Nor is His  creation split in two. How could it be His Son could be in hell when
W1:132.12  be at all. If you are real, the world you see is false, for God's  creation is unlike the world in every way. And as it was His thought
W1:134.2  It is irrelevant to everything except illusions. Truth is God's  creation, and to pardon this is meaningless. All truth belongs to
W1:138.1  is the way we make what we perceive and what we think is real.  Creation knows no opposite. But here is opposition part of being
W1:138.2  of hell. It is not really thus. Yet what is true in God's  creation cannot enter here unless it is reflected in some form the
W1:139.12  when He created us like Him. We can remember it for everyone, for in  creation are all minds as one and in our memory is the recall how
W1:139.13 In thanks for all  creation, in the name of its Creator and His oneness with all aspects
W1:139.13  in the name of its Creator and His oneness with all aspects of  creation, we repeat our dedication to our cause today each hour, as
W1:R4.4  and what your Father is. It is this thought by which the Father gave  creation to the Son, establishing the Son as co-creator with Himself.
W1:151.9  His word of what you are, for He bears witness to your beautiful  creation and the Mind Whose thought created your reality. What can
W1:158.2  it. It is not this knowledge which you give, for that is what  creation gave. All this cannot be learned. What, then, are you to
W1:160.7  certain of Its own as God is of His Son. He cannot be confused about  creation. He is sure of what belongs to Him. No stranger can be
W1:161.4  Such is the truth. Yet do these thoughts make clear the meaning of  creation? Do these words bring perfect clarity with them to you? What
W1:162.2  became His Father's happiness, His Love, and His completion. Here  creation is proclaimed and honored as it is. There is no dream these
W1:163.4  made of dust. Here is the opposite of God proclaimed as lord of all  creation, stronger than God's Will for life, the endlessness of love
W1:167.11  we understand there is one life and that we share with Him, with all  creation, with their thoughts as well, whom He created in a unity of
W1:184.11  reality. The Holy Spirit uses all of them, but He does not forget  Creation has One Name, One Meaning, and a single Source Which unifies
W1:185.1  awareness, memory of God entirely restored, the resurrection of all  creation fully recognized.
W1:186.9  and call it Son? He Who is changeless shares His attributes with His  creation. All the images His Son appears to make have no effect on
W1:191.3  which induced this weird, unnatural, and ghostly thought which mocks  creation and which laughs at God. Deny your own Identity, and you
W1:192.2 Forgiveness represents your function here. It is not God's  creation, for it is the means by which untruth can be undone. And who
W1:192.2  pardon Heaven? Yet on earth you need the means to let illusion go.  Creation merely waits for your return to be acknowledged, not to be
W1:192.3  Creation cannot even be conceived of in the world. It has no meaning
W1:193.1  and forever gaining scope, eternally expanding in the joy of full  creation, and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him. This is His
W1:195.10  gratitude is but an aspect of the love which is the Source of all  creation. God gives thanks to you, His Son, for being what you are—
W2:230.2 Father, I seek the peace You gave as mine in my  creation. What was given then must be here now, for my creation was
W2:230.2  as mine in my creation. What was given then must be here now, for my  creation was apart from time and still remains beyond all change. The
W2:239.2  are one, united in this light, and one with You, at peace with all  creation and ourselves.
W2:243.2 Father, today I leave  creation free to be itself. I honor all its parts, in which I am
W2:WIS.5  soon will you be ready to come home? Perhaps today? There is no sin.  Creation is unchanged. Would you still hold return to Heaven back?
W2:259.1  And what but this could be the source of fear, obscuring God's  creation, giving love the attributes of fear and of attack?

Tx:18.76  it from joining with the rest and keeping it apart from its  Creator. This little aspect is no different from the whole, being
Tx:18.80  transformed into the Kingdom of Heaven with all the love of its  Creator shining upon it. The holy instant is your invitation to love,
Tx:18.96  which you knew it not. Learning is useless in the Presence of your  Creator, Whose acknowledgment of you and yours of Him so far
Tx:19.5  would interpose illusions between the Son of God and his  Creator; faith would remove all obstacles that seem to rise between
Tx:19.16  as His Son is slave to nothing, being lord of all along with his  Creator. You can enslave a body, but an idea is free, incapable of

Tx:19.82  with His own, an Answer which left Him not and therefore brings the  Creator to the awareness of every mind which heard His Answer and

Tx:20.45  meaning of the Son of God lies solely in his relationship with his  Creator. If it were elsewhere, it would rest upon contingency, but
Tx:21.12  the blind can see, for that same song they sing in honor of their  Creator gives praise to them as well. The blindness which they made
Tx:21.20  to the Son of God without his will and thus without the Will of his  Creator, Whose Will cannot be separate from his own.
Tx:21.25  it causes. Long ago we spoke of your desire to create your own  Creator and be father and not son to Him. This is the same desire.
Tx:21.26  yourself. They are the same mistake. Nothing created not by your  Creator has any influence over you. And if you think what you have
Tx:21.26  and place your faith in its ability to do so, you are denying your  Creator and believing that you made yourself. For if you think the
Tx:21.87  as is the love of God for His creation. Sure in its vision as its  Creator is in what He knows, it looks on everything and sees it is
Tx:22.5  whom God would heal and hate the one He loves, then you and your  Creator have a different will. Yet if you are his will, what you must
Tx:22.21  to do what holds no hope of ever being done. You know what your  Creator wills is possible, but what you made believes it is not so.
Tx:22.25  has any power over you unless you still would be apart from your  Creator and with a will opposed to His. For only if you would believe
Tx:22.48  of its omnipotence and would drown out the hymn of praise to its  Creator which every heart throughout the universe forever sings as
Tx:22.52  love. He knows this mad decision was made by one as dear to His  Creator as love is to itself.

Tx:22.65  universe, and because it joins you, so it makes you one with your  Creator. And in Him is all creation joined. Would you regret you
Tx:23.10  perfectly, completely, and eternally. The Son of God at war with his  Creator is a condition as ridiculous as nature roaring at the wind in
Tx:23.16  everything that is not true. You dwell in peace as limitless as its  Creator, and everything is given those who would remember Him. Over
Tx:23.23  made real by what the Son of God has done both to himself and his  Creator. The arrogance on which the laws of chaos stand could not be
Tx:23.24 Here is a principle which would define what the  Creator of reality must be; what He must think and what He must
Tx:23.48  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 the Son of Life. How can a
Tx:24.31 Forgive the great  Creator of the universe, the Source of life, of love and holiness,
Tx:25.17  Him that you would see as separate. Yet its frame is joined to its  Creator, one with Him and with His masterpiece. This is its purpose,
Tx:25.18  face, which but reflects the light that shines from it to its  Creator. Think not this face was ever darkened because you saw it in
Tx:25.25  knowledge does not. Knowledge has but one law because it has but one  Creator. But this world has two who made it, and they do not see it
